Rappahannock News, March 25, 1982

33rd YEAR, NO. 12 USPS 45558C 12 Pages THURSDAY, MARCH 25, 1982 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA Phone 675-3349 20' African Wildlife Coming To Library Jon Rood will bring the plains of the Serengetti to the Blue Ridge Mountains in a special program at the Rappahannock Coiinty Library on Thursday, April 1, at 7:30 p.m. Jon, his wife, Hazel, and their daughter, Josephine, divide their time between the Serengetti Wildlife Research Center in Tanzania and their home in Sperryville. Lions, wild beasts, elephants and rhinos, exotic stuff for county residents, are commonplace to the Roods. Jon. a PhD research specialist and zoologist, will share the family's African experiences and impressions through a talk and films as part of the library program. A Guggenheim Fellow at the Research Center, Rood is primarily concerned with the life and habits of the mongoose. He and his family speak with warmth and affection of these animals and dismiss lightly the clicheassociation made by most people to their snake-killing proclivities, attributable to the fertile imagination of Rudyard Kipling in his famous story of Rikki-TikkiTavi. The mongoose, a relatively small animal, comes in almost as many sizes, shapes and designs as the American automobile. They are native to Africa, the sub-continert and Hawaii and while larger mongooses may dine occasionally on small rodents (and perhaps even a snake), most are insect eaters. When in Africa, the Roods are provided Western-style accomodations in the pleasant environment of a plateau 5,000 feet above sea level. Sometimes, other researchers at the Wildlife Center bring their families along but more often, Josephine finds herself without a peer group in an adult society; however, she is interested in her father's pursuits and doesn’t consider herself to be deprived. When in Rappahannock, she attends Wakefield School. A Michigander from Kalamazoo. Jon graduated from the University in Ann Arbor and went on to graduate school in Great Britain earning his PhD from Southhampton, where he met his wife. Hazel. Through their teamwork approach-to Jon’s career, they are able to travel frequently to Africa where they have gained intimate views of the life styles of the animals of the Serengetti. They will present those views in their talk and films at the library on April 1. —Photo oourtMy of Jon Rood LIONS UP A TREE, an alien sight in Rappahannock where the only feline caught out on a limb is the family tabby, are everyday viewing to Jon Rood and his family during the months they spend at the Serengetti Wildlife Research Center in Tanzania.

A substantial portion of the proposed increase in school spending will be balanced by added state revenues. According to the latest figures Estabrook has received from Richmond, Rappahannock can expect Douglas Given 15 Yrs. By DAI’HNK HUTCHINSON Rappahannock >rw* Staff VI ritcr Finding no evidence of insanity under legal terms. Judge W. Shore Robertson sentenced Ernest Lee Mobile Health Unit Coming To County A mobile health unit, sponsored by the Rappahannock chapter of the American Cancer Society, will be in the county on April 14 and 15. offering a series of blood testing services. The tests conducted at the unit, a part of Howard University's Center for Sickle Cell Disease, will check for sickle cell trait, hemoglobin C trait, thalassemia trait and nutritional anemia. Blood pressure testing will also be available. Blood test results from the finger prick are ready in 20 to 30 minutes. The unit provides counseling on the various types of blood disorders as part of its service. Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is an inherited disease in which there is a defect in the hemoglobin (coloring matter of the red corpuscles of the blood). The presence of this defective or abnormal hemoglobin is capable of causing distort..n (sickling) of the red blood cells and a decrease in the number of these corpuscles. During periods when the disease is active, the patient suffers from fever, severe pain, loss of appetite and general weakness. An inherited disease, symptoms first r appear at about sis months of age. With a sickle cell trait, the carrier has inherited a single dose of the sickling gene from one parent. It is not the same thing as sickle cell anemia. It cannot turn into sickle cell anemia. These carriers as a rule are healthy and require no treatment. They may. however, pass the sickling gene on to their children. SCA predominantly affects members and descendants of the black race. The active Coffee Is Saturday Residents of the county are invited to the Cancer Society's kick-off coffee this Saturday to meet the 1982 Crusade chairman, district captains and volunteers for the door-to-door fund raising drive and to enjoy a delicious assortment of refreshments, including tea. coffee, fresh fruit and cheeses. The coffee, intended as a thank-you to volunteers and not as part of Crusade fund raising, begins at 10 a.m. at Clifton, the home of Dr. and Mrs. Robert Rodgers on Route 729 southeast of Flint Hill. disease occurs about once in every 600 American blacks and once in every 1,200 American whiles. It is estimated that approximately 50.000 persons in the United States suffer from the disease. Sickled red blood cells, the inactive form, have been found in one of every 12 American blacks. Persons who are descendants of other malarious countries (India and the Mediterranean areas) also have higher odds of contracting the disease. Also covered in the mobile unit’s tests, thalassema trait indicates an hereditary blood disorder. Cooley’s anemia. Nutritional anemia is low iron generally resulting from an inadequate diet. On Wednesday, April 14, the mobile health unit will be at the Episcopal Church in Washington from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. The public and particularly black women of child-bearing age are urged to take advantage of the free blood testing services. On the following day, Thursday. April 15, the unit will be at the high school from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Permission slips for students to take part in the testing service will be sent home for parents to sign.

Ellen Mustoe made the presentation on behalf of the Flint Hill Extension Homemakers Club. Douglas last Wednesday to 15 years in the penitentiary for the malicious shooting of Peter Marx in November, 1979. “The case has exhausted the court’s feeling just about as much as any case I’ve ever had," said Robertson as he imposed the sentence returned by the jury following an earlier two-day trial in January. Robertson said he felt “substantial compassion” for everyone involved in the case, particularly foe th* defendant. He noted, however, that with Douglas’ prior record of convictions on breaking and entering and three counts of attempted murder, he had no choice but to impose the jury’s sentence with the recommendation that Douglas receive psychiatric counseling while an inmate. Again, during Wednesday’s proceedings Douglas repeated accusations of secret identities and conspiracies, this time including commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner as a participant in the plot to “railroad’’ him to the pentitentiary. 1 shot John Marks," maintained the defendant in response to his courtappointed attorney’s notation that Douglas had been found guilty of shooting Peter Marx. Repeatedly during his January trial Douglas alleged that the two were the same person; that John D. Marks was part of an international communist conspiracy and that he was attempting to make lawful citizen’s arrest of the conspirator when he •lux <*•*« Marx. „ Responding to data included in his presentence report. Douglas acknowledged an earlier conviction for breaking and entering and assault on which he was sentenced to 12 months in jail. He said the charges grew out of a domestic dispute where he'd had an argument with his exwife and then kicked in the door and entered the house where she was staying. He also objected to a letter from the parole board which noted that he had violated conditions of his parole on earlier convictions. ‘‘They have their version but there's (Continued on Page 4) Benefit Dinner The fourth annual spaghetti dinner to benefit Sursum Corda School and Day Care Center will be held on Saturday, March 27th at Trinity Episcopal Church, parish hall in Washington.

Combined with sales and wine tax money and federal funds, the total for other funds anticipated for 1982-83 is $1,158,910, a 12 percent increase. That compares to $1,145,536 from the county needeo to support the proposed budget. (An additional $144,%6 is shown on the revenue page of the proposed budget for Title I. a federally funded program that falls outside the regular budget.) The figures presented by Estabrook to the school board Tuesday night reflect a ten percent salary raise for the superintendent (projected at $34,100), assistant superintendent ($29,700), high school principal and assistant principal ($28,736 and $22,627) and elementary principal and assistant principal ($25,445 and $22,627). The proposed budget is based on implementation of an indexed salary scale for teachers with a starting salary five percent over this year's. According to Estabrook’s figures, the total cost of the index scale (based on current teachers moving up one year in experience for 1982-83) represents an 4M» percent Increase Hvrt last year's total paid in teachers' salaries. 8 Percent For Others Secretaries, aides, bus drivers, custodians, substitute teachers and other noninstruction personnel will receive eight percent salary hikes under the proposed budget. Estabrook’s proposal also includes an additional staff position, supervisor for special education and Title I, at a salary of $20,000. The 1982-83 budget calls for replacement of two buses which if approved will leave the county’s fleet with no buses on the road next fall having more than ten year's service, according to Estabrook. He also requested an addition to the service fleet (cars provided administrators, principals and bus drivers), a vehicle for the new supervisor of special education and Title I. Reductions in the proposed budget come in in-service training, instructional supplies, provision of free textbooks, child labor administration, and repairs, tires and parts for school buses. "In no way are we trying to jeopardize the safety of the drivers and the children." emphasized Estabrook in reference to the drop in allotment for bus repairs. He explained that the reduction is based entirely on the amount actuallyspent last year and to date in 1981-82. After checking with Richmond, the superintendent said he found that the $1.00() traditionally put in the budget for child labor administration was not a ncessary line item. He noted that central office secretaries will continue to issue work permits to children under 16. the sole responsibility involved in child labor administration. Reduction in the amount proposed for purchase of free textbooks is based on the number of children who qualified for free books this year plus 10 percent, according to Estabrook. As for in-service training, he explained that the suggested appropriation is based on the cost qf the programs requested by the teachers. Not Pleasant Task "It’s not a pleasant task to recommend a reduction in instructional supplies,” said Estabrook. a line item that drops from the current $41,695 to $40,000 in his proposed budget. "But we have to be looking to many different ways of teaching young people...not all include additional supplies." he said, adding that he is asking teachers to be aware of the tight money situation. The budget also shows a substantial decrease in the line item for rental of land and buildings, a drop from $3,900 to $650. As noted in last week’s meeting. Estabrook said the proposed allocation for 1982-83 reflects only two months rent of the bus shop and school board office since it is anticipated that the combination bus garage and central office building suggested by Nelson Lane will be completed in September. (Funds for construction of the building are expected to come from the current budget and from the sale through condemnation suit of the bus garage to the highway department.) "We have needs in this school division. We have a number of needs." said Estabrook before handing (Continued on Page 10) Rappahannock Nm*h I'IxHo/T Reynold* DELIVERING GIRL SCOLT COOKIES is elevenyear-old Chandra Davis of Rappahannock Troop Number 380.

Planners Consider Designating Flood Plain By High Water Mark By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rap|Mihann«K>k Mrw* Staff I ril**r Joe Atkins brought his problems in getting approval for a used car lot to the planning commission last Wednesday and walked away from the meeting with the commissioners’ promise that they will immediately address the issue of what can and can't be done in Sperryville. The commissioners appeared to agree that the village's flood plain should be designated on the basis of flooding frequency rather than by soil type. They remained in support, however, of restrictions against flood plain development. They also asked zoning administrator David Konick to check with the Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority to see if the facility plan for Sperryville’s sewer system includes data on high water levels. In addition, district conservationist Lue Walters indicated he will look into the possibility of having hydrological surveys of the Thornton River’s flood levels done through the Soil and Water Conservation District office in Culpeper. Atkins reported that his special use permit application for a used car lot was turned down by the county’s board of zoning appeals (BZA) because the proposed location lies in flood plain. He added that the BZA had recommended he call his case to the attention of the planning commission since the commission currently is conducting a review and revision of local zoning regulations. “The way the ordinance is now written, the flood plain district overrides all other districts and provisions," said zoning administrator Konick, pointing out that geological survey soil maps clearly show Atkins' property in flood plain. He added, however, that a separate zoning map taken from county tax maps has a green line around the parcel; the same green line that's used to designate the residential business districts of Sperryville, Flint Hill and Woodville and proposed residential and residential subdivision districts. Konick said he leans toward residential business (RB-1) as the zoning category on Atkins' property but added that it could be residential, residential subdivision or agricultural on the basis of the one zoning map. He pointed out that under the current ordinance, flood plain is delineated strictly bysoil type, not by any high water line. Konick added that at many points in the village, the Hood plain boundary runs far wider than the banks of the Thornton., When the Thornton floods at the site where Atkins proposes a used car lot, it does so on the opposite, lower side of the river, interjected BZA chairman Lee Bird, referring to testimony from the public hearing on Atkins application. Konick suggested that the planning commission consider adopting new standards such as the 100-vear fliH>d line tor designating flood plain. "That's how some counties do it—by the actual high water mark." he noted. "This problem comes up every time something is proposed in Sperrvville. The whole town is in the Hood plain." The BZA felt it had no alternative but to turn down Atkins' special use permit request. Bird said. Since (1) the soil map clearly shows the property as flood plain. (2) the ordinance specifies that flood plain overrides all other districts and (3) the use proposed by Atkins is not allowed by right or with a special permit in a flood plain. "We had no choice...This commission is charged with developing a new ordinance and this tSperryville's flood (Continued on Page 12)

Miller’8 Cows In Pathfinder J. Newbill Miller Jr., of Washington, has been recognized nationally by the American Angus Association for having registered Angus cows qualified to be listed in the Association’s 1982 Pathfinder Recognition Report. The Pathfinder Program identifies superior Angus females in the breed based upon economically important production traits including regularity of calving and weaning weight. To qualify a breeder must have his herd actively enrolled in the Association’s Angus Herd Improvement Records Program. In order to be listed in the Pathfinder, a cow must produce a calf at a young age and continue to wean a heavy calf on an average of every 12 months. Each calf must have a weaning weight ratio of 105 or higher with at least 10 herdmates evaluated each year. A minimum of three calves is required for a cow to be listed in the Report. The 1982 Pathfinder Report lists a total of 2,900 cows. That represents less than one percent of 300,000 head reviewed for publication. In addition a total of 80 bulls that have sired five or more Pathfinder cows in the report are listed in a sire summary.

Two miles up, the garden marks the entrance to the old man of the mountain’s home. At 87, Howard Jones doesn’t do much weeding anymore. Nowadays, his grandchildren have taken over the tending of the iris and daffodils that Howard’s wife planted so long ago. But if the approaching century mark hks slowed Howard Jones, it’s happened only recently. Born and raised in Rappahannock, Howard has roots in the county that go back to pre-Civil War times when his ancestors labored as slaves here. He’s been a worker just about all of his life. "I never did go to school. Anyway, they only had three months of school a year when I was a little fellow,” he recalled. “But I never was lazy. 1 was all the time doing something. I picked apples until three years ago when my heart went bad and the doctor said I shouldn’t climb any more. If you can’t climb, you sure can’t pick apples,” he said, chuckling. “I used to do 130,* 150 bushels a day—along like that. And I put me in a little crop too.” Howard has spent most of his life in Rappahannock and remembers when horses and wagons travelled the streets of Woodville, the little village at the bottom of Red Oak. "It looked then just about like you see it now ’cept for the cars. Now it's too dangerous to be on the road with a horse. There are too many of those cars,” he said, shaking his head at the “improvements” that come with progress. ”1 can remember Miss Sally Mason. She had one of the first Model T's around here, one with fringe on the top. 1 can still see her out at night on the side of the road with the wind blowing, trying to light the lanterns for that old car.” When Howard Jones was a young man, Woodville's white children learned their ABCs right in the village. On May 2, 1929, a freak storm brought tragedy to the little school house. The tornado that hit a half century ago followed a path around the base of Red Oak and right through the center of the community at the foot of the mountain. The walls of the school came down and the building was lifted off its foundation. Children were lifted off their feet as well, picked up and carried by the wind and deposited in back yards and orchards. One little boy was killed, struck by the double doors of the school house. Homes and churches were hit as the funnel whipped through the center of the village. St. Paul’s Episcopal Church was destroyed, the walls were ripped away from the Baptist Church and the Methodist Church was pulled ofPfts foundation. Howard remembers that tragic flay but he remembers its lighter side too. “The wind blowed Miss Lucy Botts' hat into our sweet potato patch,” he said, laughing at the picture of the bonnet deposited in the vegetable garden two miles up the mountain. “And we found Miss Clara Johnson’s sheets too. We recognized then ’cause they were em broidered with her name on one side. That wind caused terrible damage. We worked two, three days just getting our fences back.” France In WWI Howard Jones traveled away from Rappahannock only once in his 87 years. It was a journey worth remembering, a journey that took him far past the county line, beyond the borders of the Commonwealth. In his 20s when the conflict that was to be the war to end all wars broke out, Howard was drafted into the U. S. Army. He trained at Camp Lee, Virginia, and was then shipped overseas with an infantry unit. The army in those days was a segregated army and while black men wre called upon to serve, they rarely saw combat duty. Howard Jones was an exception. With ‘‘a right smart number” of other black soldiers, he was assigned to a French divisiop and fought his way across France. “I can’t remember too many battles. It’s been such a long time. There have been two or three wars since then,” he joked. “But I sure wish I felt like I did then," Howard added, bemoaning the creaks and aches of 87year-old bones. Jones was in France when the war ground to a halt. “Now that was a big party," he recalled, smiling. “Those French folks drink a whole lot of wine and at the end of the war, they rolled it out in barrels!” After the Armistice celebration, the ex-soldier returned to Rappahannock where he built his family’s white frame home-place up on Red Oak. He farmed on the mountain and down the river and with his wife and two children, managed in those old days to be “pretty self-supportin’. With the garden and stock—a few hogs and chickens—we raised almost everything we needed. Now a little slice of bacon costs you $2 a pound,” he added, shaking his head in dismay. Other old timers may lament the changes that have come to the county but from his perspective of 87 years, Howard Jones doesn't see a great difference—with the exception of a few cars and the higher cost of living—between the present and the past. i i—AmeriGas-i SHENGAS DIVISION 327 No Royal Ave Front Royal, Va 635-3556 L P Gas \ distributor serving a four county area Propane gas for full house use heating, water heating and cooking Hardwick Ranges Ruud Water Heaters Space Heaters TF Did You Know Sells and Installs •UMM ONTO TVS urancuwn MmS-CMIU-UM. ■MJPtfOl mWNMT IBM MUM CttTOM MCTNE FMKS CAPETS AIEMAITS wn fun coin nm FLKMI iomants stwuivmmvs/mms WlUABSMM PANTS mynpc stans Professional Installations We Have a Rental Division • Floor Sanders • - .T) n. ;i.*.

Therefore, take a long, hard look, not only at the present, but the future prospects for the community and immediate neighborhood. Select a location where the raw land and home values have an increasing price trend. Naturally, listings will be scarcer in these areas because demand will be greater. But precisely because of this increased demand, future prospects will increase the value of your investment ' dollars. Remember, you can always change a house, but you can never change -a location.

Try Some New Vegetables By THERESA RK^OLDS Kii|i|»nh»nn«K'k Nt-v»s staff ^ rilrr In the next few weeks, as mjuddy gardens dry out and days and nights grow warmer^ local gardeners will be in m flurry of plowing and planting. From the first potatoes, peas and onions in earlv spring until the latest vegetables in the fall, many gardeners just repeat the same garden over and over again each year. While this reduces the need for planning, it's a shame to ignore some of the fine new varieties introduced by seed companies. Also worthy of a try in your garden are European favorites slowly becoming popular in this country, obscure vegetables that have been around for a while but grown only by an eccentric few, and old fashioned favorites whose easier-togrow replacements have not lived up to the original in flavor and hardiness. This year, try planting a few unusual varieties. Recipes are included to give you some idea of how to prepare them: save these for harvest time. Sugar Snap Peas This is one new vegetable that was received with wild acclaim a few years ago and now is a staple in many home gardens, as well as with commercial growers. These go in the ground as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring. They bear all at once, so successive plantings are recommended. Sugar Snaps are similar to the snow or edible-podded pea, but their pods are larger than snow peas and they are snapped in bite-sized pieces like snap beans. Sugar Snap peas are sweet and crunchy, can be served raw or cooked, and freeze well if there are any left over.

Drain and pat dry. Saute gently, without browning, in unsalted butter. Season with a little crumbled dried savory, thyme, or chopped fresh parsley. Sugar Snap Stir-Fry Tossed peas in a spoonful of vegetable oil in a hot wok. Add soy sauce, pineapple juice and a little toasted sesame oil. Cover and cook briefly until done. Sugar Snap Salad Blanch and drain trimmed peas. Toss with cut up red pepper and cubed cooked artichoke hearts. Dress salad with vinegar, oil and mustard. Vegetable Spaghetti This worthwhile summer squash was introduced about the same time as the Sugar Snap but because of its spectacular billing, it was taken less than seriously by most gardeners. Vegetable spaghetti is planted when the last frost is past, picked whenever green or yellow (for a riper, nut-like flavor) and cooked like this: RENTALS Carpet cleaners, floor sanders. edgers and polishers, scaffolding, ladders, walk planks, low bars, engine hoists, front and rear tine roto-tillers. concrete and mortar mixers, power trowel, mud boxes and pans, wheelbarrows, chain and masonry saws, post hole diggers. generators, pumps, log splitters, tree pruner, sewer and chimney cleaning equipment, space heaters, air compressor, hand and pallet trucks, levels, transits, hand, elec and air tools, pullers, jacks, pipe threaders CALL US, WE MAY HAVE WHAT YOU NEED A A P EQUIPMENT CO., INC.

Vegetable Spaghetti Primavera Toss strands of cooked squash with butter, grated Parmesan, and assorted spring vegetables cut in bitesized pieces and steamed until just crisp-tender. Roquette (Artigula) This tangy green, a cousin of mustand, is sown in the open ground as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring.

Washington. Va 22747 HOURS: 8 30 am to 5 30 p m Mon -Fri Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc Member. Audit Bureau of Circulation S THURSDAY. MARCH 25. 1982 Letters To The Editor Coverage Criticized To the editor: Last week the paper published a report of the bus accident involving Roy Lee Knighting. 1 don’t think it should have been published. Last fall when the assistant superintendent, Mr. Lysik, totaled a county car, nothing was put in the paper about it. In fact, he has had a second car that has had to be repaired but that’s hush! hush! Why is he considered any better than a bus driver? Rappahannock County has eighteen good drivers but they are not appreciated by the people in the county. You very seldom hear of a bus accident in Rappahannock County. It was a snowy and wet morning last Monday. I hope Mr. Knighting comes out on top with his case. INTERESTED PARTY Editor's note: Apparently you’re not doing much thinking—I think there should be rejoicing for the fact that there were no injured students or vehicle drivers, and that the bus driver received a minor traffic citation rather than a stiffer charge. The Rappahannock News is not selective in the news which it publishes. We do not “manage” the news, but make a valiant effort to “tell it like it is.” We cannot be in all places at all times, and do miss events when we are not apprised of a given situation. We do not grant special favors to anyone, including Mr. Lysik. You must be close to the school transportation department, for I did not know the exact number of bus drivers the school system has, and it was quite a while before 1 heard about Lysik’s accident. Perhaps you’d care to be a spotter for this newspaper. And who. except you, said that bus drivers were not appreciated? And how can you speak for the entire county? si. Seeks Help To the editor: Another year has rolled around and once again the Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad must seek financial help. We are an all-volunteer organization, therefore, funding must come from the general public. In 1981, The Sperryville Rescue Squad answered 90 calls, (73 emergency and 17 transports), traveling 6500 miles costing approximately SI.05 per mile and using 500 manpower hours. An additional 900 manpower hours are spent in meetings and training sessions. The volunteers are on call 24 hours per day, giving unselfishly of their time and energy to render medical aid BY YOUR HELP WE SURVIVE; BY OUR HELP OTHERS SURVIVE. Whatever contribution anyone makes, large or small, will be appreciated and used wisely. JODY WINGf i^LD Treasurer, SVRS FOI Explained To the editor: Two recent editions of the Rappahannock News have contained some pros and cons on the application of the Virginia^- Freedom - *o{InformaMen kd <W» conduct of public business by the School Board. In terms of the Act itself, it seems abundantly clear that the meeting of three or more members of the Board, however informal, wherever held, and regardless of whether minutes are taken or votes cast (Code of Va. S 2.1341 (a), is required to. be public (Id. S 21.-343) unless it falls within one of the nine exceptions permitting executive or closed meetings (Id. S 2.1-344). Formal or informal discussion of the School Budget is not within any of these exceptions. The Act applies with equal force to all Boards and Commissions within the County, or other organizations supported wholly or principally by public funds (Id. S 2.1-341 (a). The purpose of the Act is to gise people "ready access” to public records and “free entry to meetings of public bi>dies wherein the business of the people is being conducted." To realize this purpose, the Act states that it shall be "liberally construed to promote an increased awareness by all persons of governmental activities and afford every opportunity to citizens to witness the operations of government.” Concert To the editor: I wish to thank all the gospel groups who took time to help the handicapped March 6 at Central Elementary School. The gospel concert for the benefit of FORE was truly great entertainment. I also wish to express my thanks to everyone who gave donations for this worthy cause. Special thanks to Mrs. Millie Carter, who was MC, and Mrs. Charlotte Freeman of Washington, Va., whose interest helped make this program a success. '"iniiiiudrinaamf be ■«»pressed to Mrs. Henrietta Lindsey who is a devoted volunteer at FORE. I sincerely hope more people in Fauquier, Culpeper, Rappahannock, Orange and Madison counties become more aware of the outstanding services that FORE offers the handicapped. ELLEN R. CORUM FORE Staff (Id. S 2.1-340.1). To further this purpose the Act specifies a procedure for the public body in question to follow even when a mcetj^njt ^^rniiueri to ^be the public body must, in open meeting, affirmatively vote to go into an executive or closed meeting; second, the purpose or purposes which are to be the subject of such meeting must be specified; and third, there must be specific reference to which of the nine exceptions may be applicable to the proposed executive meeting. The public body while in executive session is also required to limit its consideration to matters specifically exempted from the Act (Id. S 2.1-344 (b). No action taken in executive meeting can become effective until the public body, following such meeeting, reconvenes in open meeting and takes a vote of its membership thereon (Id. S 2.1-344 (c). Many members of public bodies undoubtedly share the feelings expressed by the School Board member who wanted privacy while he and his colleagues considered budget alternatives or acquired background information relating to the school system. It is undoubtedly less threatening to arrive at complex decisions in public matters if the public is excluded. Admitting the public to a meeting necessarily involves a certain loss of control on the part of the public body. On the other hand, the secrecy practised by public bodies when' they conduct their business in unauthorized executive session is the enemy of good government and is forbidden by the Act, as outlined above. In a recent case, a Fairfax County judge ruled that all nine members of that county's Board of Supervisors violated the Virginia Freedom of Information Act when they met in closed session in Supervisor Audrey Moore’s office on December 11, 1981 to redraw the boundaries of their election districts. (Wash. Post, Mar. 20. 1982). Since the Supervisors admitted the violation. Commonwealth Attorney Floran did not call witnesses or ask the judge to impose fines on them, as the law permits. The judge did, however, issue an order barring the Board from ever again meeting behind closed doors without publicly voting to do so and prohibiting the supervisors from discussing anything in closed session not specifically permitted under the Act. Violations of the judge's order would constitute contempt of court and would be punishable by fines or jail terms, Horan said. LEE BIRD Washington The Road To Old Rag Mountain Our Rappahannock Heritage Ideas For An Arts Center Solicited A group of citizens interested in the arts have scheduled a public meeting for April 5 at 7:30 p.m. in the court house to solicit public opinion on alternatives for a Piedmont Regional Arts Center. Currently, the committee is looking at three options for facility: (1) purchase of the movie house in Washington, (2) rental of the old Washington school from William Carrigan and (3) purchase of another building or purchase of a lot and construction of a building. The interested individuals who have been involved over the past few months with efforts to establish a nonprofit, arts-related corporation are hoping to solicit ideas at the meeting with the aim of forming a group to carry those ideas forward. Initially, the aims of the committee covered —sponsoring programs related to the performing, cinematic and fine arts including but not limited to the Rappahannock Players, Rappahannock Choral Society, Last Minute Wood Company, Rappahannock Country Dancers and classic and other film entertainment. —encouraging an artsskills exchange with classes and workshops in such areas as photography, pottery, music and other educational arts and crafts disciplines. —promoting activities relating to historical research, language arts and other educational and cultural fields. Also, the committee proposed to establish a facility to accommodate the activities and entertainments outlined above. The group planned to work toward pooling community resources in an effort to complement existing Educational resources for the youth as well as the adult population of the area. The three alternatives for housing an arts center will be discussed at the April 5 meeting. Everyone in the community is urged to participate. Encouraged To Work People who receive supplemental security income payments (SSI) because of disability now have more incentive to try and work, Bruce A. Hundley. Social Security manager in Culpeper, said recently. In the past, a disabled person receiving SSI who was able to perform substantial gainful work had his or her check stopped. In addition, the person was ineligible for Medicaid and other social services. Now, a person who works will continue to be eligible for SSI and Medicaid, although the amount of his or her check may be reduced because of the amount of earnings. After 9 months of work, the person's work and medical condition will be evaluated. stopped because he or she was able to perform substantial gainful work, they may be started again if the person’s medical condition causes him or her to stop work within a year. No new application is needed. Disabled people working in a sheltered workshop now can have higher income and still receive an SSI check. This is because the first $65 in a month does not count at fpoZS'b,yA*eSIWIhG CO,'?pk,”'l,“d *? y™* *“■*>«• Modeled Sund.y in the annual flZmlhZ Hn,. r Rappahannock Women.

But, Hundley said, any person who gets SSI and wo starts work must notify Social Security so that the amount of the check can be adjusted. More information about SSI can be obtained at the Culpeper Social Security office, located at 522 Culpeper Shopping Center. The telephone number is 825-3500. Douglas Sentenced (Continued from Page 1) always another version and that is the truth," Douglas maintained. He repeated that Peter Marx had him “railroaded to the pen" on those earlier charges as the result of Marx’s criminal activities; criminal activities which Douglas said cost him his family, job, home and reputation. Good Worker John A. Mulik, a witness called by Douglas, said he has known the defendant for four years and worked with him for two, buying, cutting, scrapping and selling steel. “He’s a very hard worker, no question about it,” Mulik said. “If the market (for steel) comes back up,” he said he would go back into business with Douglas. Mulik acknowledged that Douglas had brought up the subject of Peter Marx when the two worked together. "He doesn’t talk about it all the time but he does talk about it," the witness said. In response to questioning from Dudley Payne, Douglas’ court appointed lawyer. Mulik said he’d never seen the defendant commit any violent acts but that he had argued with Douglas over business matters on several occasions. Answering the commonwealth’s attorney, Mulik said he was not aware that Douglas had been convicted in 1974 on three counts of attempted murder. Patricia Redman. Douglas' sister, said her brother’s problem with Peter Marx has existed ever since the two met at Centrat State Hospital. Other than for “a childhood prank,” she said, Douglas had never been in trouble with the law until his domestic difficulties began. Commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner asked Redman if she knew that Douglas was convicted of breaking and entering and assault in 1973. “I don't think 1 know what you're talking about," she replied. Summoned by the court, psychiatrist William Young testified that Douglas has been ‘‘quite unstable emotionally and socially” for some years and “under stress in his social and vocational life in terms of the law." Dr. Young, who had examined Douglas in response to the court’s request for an opinion on the defendant's sanity, described Douglas' views on Peter Marx as "unalterable." Under cross examination by Douglas, Dr. Young characterized his behavior as dillusional, explaining that the defendant is constantly preoccupied with a concern that no one else seems to share. “Is it dillusional to be preoccupied with a real problem?” Douglas asked. Young responded that the difficulty lies in the definition of “real problem.” According to Young. Douglas bases his opinions as to the alleged conspiracy and Marx's secret identity on “feelings, thoughts and interpretations” rather than on actual fact or proof. Legally Sane Young said there is no way he could predict whether Douglas would be able to comply with a court order to stay away from Peter Marx. As to whether there's any type of mental treatment which could help the defendant, the doctor said success or failure would depend on Douglas’ attitude. In conclusion. Young held that Douglas is not insane “in the eyes of the law...in legal terminology." Asked whether he believed Douglas to be sane or insane. Dr. James Dimitris, forensic unit director at Central State Hospital, replied that his sanity was "a matter of time and place." At the current time, he elaborated. Douglas can distinguish between right and wrong and can control his impulses and so meets the tests for legal sanity. As to the defendant’s assertions on the identity of the man he shot and his involvement in a communist conspiracy, Dimitris said he has “a strong suspicion” that Douglas' thinking is dillusional but couldn’t state so positively since he has never heard an explanation from Marx or other involved parties. Douglas maintained that Dimitris' evaluation of his mental state was based at least in part on an "unsigned and undated" deposition from the commonwealth’s attorney's office, a deposition he described as a “blatant lie." Dimitris noted that his opinion of Douglas’ mental condition was qualified in so far as it was based on information supplied to him. Different information could produce a different conclusion. he added. Douglas asked Judge Robertson about discussing in chambers Baumgardner's conduct, specifically his circulation of the deposition the defendant described as false. "1 was committed to a mental institution on the basis of those unsigned lies!" Douglas charged. (Continued on Page 12) Sewer Hearing Set For Monday As a public service, the Rappahannock News offers the following “fact sheet” on the Sperryville sewer project. We suggest that the information be clipped and brought to the public hearing on the proposed sewage treatment plant scheduled for Monday, March 29, at 7:30 in the court house in Washington. - A Step I Facilities Plan for providing wastewater collection and treatment facilities for the Community of Sperryville was prepared and approved by the State Water Control Board and the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency in 1977. - The approved plan provided for a 29,100 feet of 8 inch gravity collection system with treatment by means of a two cell facultative aerated lagoon with a design flow capacity of 55,000 gallons per day. - Step II design plans, specifications and cost estimates were prepared and approved by the State Health Department, the State Water Control Board and the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency in 1980 on the gravity collection and facultative aerated treatment lagoon. - Upon submission of the Step III Construction Grant Application, the updated cost estimates for the proposed system proved to be too expensive for the users to support. The Step III application was not forwarded to EPA. The State Water Control Board suggested that the project return to the study stage for reevaluation. - On January 14, 1981, EPA approved the restudy and the Engineer was given Notice to Proceed with the restudy. The project area includes Sperryville village, the populated corridor of U. S. Route 211 between the village and the Shenandoah National Park to the west, and the residential area adjacent to the Southern States Cooperative to the east. The recommended alternative is the septic tank effluent pump (STEP) system consisting of small diameter pressure lines with treatment provided by a package plant of 61,000 gallons per day design capacity. - Total project cost is $1,807,800 of which the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency will ' provide a grant for $1,357,460. The remaining amount $450,340 would have to be financed locally. - If the local share is borrowed from a lending institution, total debt service would be $61,285 annually at current FmHA rates of 12.25 percent for 40 years and a required coverage figure of 10 percent. • Estimated operations and maintenance costs are estimated / at $22,000 annually. - The total cost of the user if the local share of $450,340 is borrowed would be $427.10 per Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) annually or S35.S9-EDU monthly. - In order to reduce the monthly user fees a supplemental grant will have to be obtained. The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors have approved a request to provide Community Development Block Grant Funds toward the project. Per project, a maximum of $700,000 is available. In order to have monthly user fees of S20.00-EDU, it would be necessary to secure $268,109.00 of Community Development Block Grant Funds. In order to have monthly user fees of $15.00-EDU, it would be necessary to secure $354,080.00 of Community Block Grant Funds. In order to have monthly user fees of $10.00-EDU, it would be necessary to secure $440,050 of Community Development Block Grant Funds. NOTE: The Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) basis is one of the most common methods of establishing a rate schedule. Each unit of housing is one EDU and commercial or industrial establishments are assigned a number of EDU’s in proportion to the estimated or measured wastes compared to the wastes generated from a single family unit; e.g., a business producing three times the wastes of a single family unit would be assigned three EDU’s.

The vice president for student services is the individual ultimately responsible for directing, supervising and coordinating the Student Council's 20 some committees and services. An editorial endorsement of her candidacy printed in The University Journal cited Michelle’s credentials for the position: two years of work with the Council; a year as Council's Communications Chairman overseeing sub-committees of newsletter, liaisons, Contact Program, admissions, volunteers, publicity and media coordinator; a year’s editorship of the Council’s newsletter and a year as a College representative to the Council for which Michelle came in as high vote-getter when re-elected to the representative slot this past fall. The University Journal's editorial described Willis as "a proven 'workhorse' " and expressed confidence that her experience and motivation will bring many of the current year’s unproductive committees to life next year and provide UVa students “with the high quality of services they have paid for.” Willis defeated her opponent in the race with 61 percent of the vote, 2728 to 1691. She outpolled the head of the ticket. Bob McCarthy, who won the president's slot with 55 percent. Willis is a junior at the University.

Bowers Proves Job Training Is Good Investment By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Nrwn Staff V liter Before the deficit watchdogs in Washington take their budget-cutting cleavers to any more job training programs, they should check with Robert Bowers. The owner and manager of the new Blue Ridge Guns in Amissville is a testimonial to the "dollars and cents” sense of job training. Schooling he gained through a vocational rehabilitation program has turned Bowers from a tax liability into a tax asset. “1 could have stayed on disability from now until the day 1 die. Instead, I’m back in the work force and employing other people as well...The money the government spent to teach me a trade and get me back in the work force will be totally repaid in taxes in my first year of business," Bower said. A resident of the Rixeyville area for the past 12 years, Bowers was injured in 1976 when a truck crashed through a bridge in a farm accident. He broke four ribs and damaged nerves in his spine. "I was in hospitals in Richmond, in Fauquier. Winchester and Prince William for three years. Finally, I was sent to Charlottesville and the doctors there diagnosed the injury as permanent.” Treatment left Bowers with a spine fused from the second vertebra down. He couldn’t bend or lift. Even walking was a challenge. “I'd always been the type to work seven days a week. I thought it was the end of my life. We had three kids in school and all that I'd built up in the past was gone. I had no way to earn a living!” “It’s another world when you’re out of a job and you can’t go back to work. We went through some rough times. Everybody has a little bit of pride. To keep that pride, a man’s got to be able to support his family,” Bowers maintained. “In all the years we’d been married, in 23 years, Bob had missed only a day and a half from work,” interjected Ruth Bowers. “That was food poisoning I got from a bad hotdog off a chow truck,” her husband added. But the spinal injury was much more debilitating than ptomaine poisoning. The will to go back to his construction job was there but the way wasn’t—not with his spine fused into an inflexible column. And the skills that Bob Bowers had mastered through years of hard labor at construction and farm jobs were all physical skills. In a last attempt to regain the dignity he felt he had lost when he lost the power to support in family, he contacted the vocation rehabilitation office in Culpeper. “Mr. Tuck Baker the »0«NC^ Yourself \ To Healthy with a Universal Rebounder (one-man trampoline) 95 SAVE 10% by ordering NOW from COUNTRY MANOR GIFT SHOP R«. 211 Waat Sp«rryvill«, Va. 987-8761 LEARNING HOW to grind down a gun barrel is son Bob, Bowers’ first trainee. This is all part of the day’s work at Blue Ridge Guns in Amissville. counselor there, and his staff gave me a completely different outlook. They were concerned and they cared.” “They bend over backwards to help you any way they can,” Ruth Bowers added. “And there’s a program for everybody, to fit all interests and abilities, no matter how disabled you are,” her husband continued. "Mr. Baker suggested I go to gunsmithing school. Guns have always been a hobby of mine but I never thought I’d make a living at it.” For a year and a half, Bowers studied under Ben Toxford at Shenandoah Guns in Berryville. “He's been doing it for years. He’s trained gunsmiths in wheelchairs, he’s trained gunsmiths who were paralyzed from the waist down, heart attack victims, just about every type of permanent injury you could possibly get. And you come away from Ben Toxford as a first class gunsmith. “You have to pick up the pieces somehow so that you’re not feeling sorry for yourself—so that you can support your family again. Vocational rehabilitation did all that for me...The system does work. If you put as much effort into it as the vocational rehabilitation people do, it will work,” Bowers maintained.

The shop offers a complete line of new and used guns in all models, complete gunsmithing services and blueing, ammunition, archery and fishing equipment, hunting clothes and boots and custom leather work. Long range plans still in the formulative stages call for a range to be built out in the field behind the shop on 26 acres that the Bowers are negotiating to buy. Bob sees that range and the National Rifle Association courses he intends to offer there as a partial solution to Rappahannock's problem with slob hunters. A gun isn't dangerous. r It’s the person behind the gun that poses the danger," he maintained. His intentions to build a firing range in what is now primarily a residential area have alarmed neighbors of Blue Ridge Gun shop, The alarm is unwarranted, according to Bowers. When and if it is built, the range will be 450 yards —“That’s four and a half football fields"—from the closest residence, he noted. Even more important, the proposed location is in a little hollow, a dip in the 26-acre parcel which will serve as a natural bullet and sound barrier. Built according to NRA safety specifications, the range will be surrounded by mounds of dirt. 20-25 feet high, fronted by eight inch think concrete slabs measuring five feet square and weighing one ton, and in turn, the slabs will be faced with rubber tires filled with dirt .to provide further protection against richocheting bullets. Bowers doesn't propose to open the range freely to the public. Rather it will be available primarily for NRA courses, for use by community and civic groups such as fire and rescue companies to hold fund raising turkey shoots and for Blue Ridge customers who want to try out their purchases or check repair jobs. “You wouldn’t want to buy r— __ a car unless you road test it first," said Bowers. "It's the same thing with a gun.” The range will be supervised fully at all times when it's in use. he emphasized. Alcoholic beverages as well as anyone under the influence of alcohol will be barred from the premises, added Bowers. This is not only going to benefit us, it’s going to benefit the community as well," he maintained, noting that services from Blue Ridge Guns will be available free of charge to law enforcement personnel in the county. According to Bowers, with the NRA design, the shooting range will be neither visible nor audible from the shop itself, much less from neighboring homes. “If you can't see it and you can’t hear it, how is it going to bother anyone?” he asked. "We’re in here to build the community, not to hurt it." Bob Bowers appreciates the help he received from vocational rehabilitation. He wants to give that appreciation tangible form by doing for someone else what was done for him. "They asked me during training if I would be willing to train a disabled person myself. I said yes, that I would, and I plan to do it." How John S.

Child Abuse Increases In Va. In a one-year period ending June 30, 1981, Rappahannock County had one case of child abuse, two cases where children were judged at risk of abuse and four suspected abuse cases investigated but ruled unfounded, according to statistics, released by the Virginia Department of Welfare. Statewide during that same period, reports of child abuse and neglect continued at a high level with a slight increase over the previous year. From July 1, 1980 through June 30, 1981, welfare agencies in Virginia received 36,817 allegations of children being abused or neglected. In 8,403 reported cases, actual abuse or neglect was established following investigation. In 4,665 cases, children were determined to be at risk of abuse or neglect. About 64 percent of the cases, representing 23,549 children, were found to be unsubstantiated complaints. The Virginia Department of Welfare's Child Protective Services program was established in July, 1975, under the Child Abuse and Neglect Act, passed by the Virginia General Assembly in 1974. The primary goal of Child Protective Services is to protect Virginia’s children from physical, mental, sexual. emotional, educational, and medical abuse and neglect. The program also strives to prevent conditions which lead to family dysfunction and to treat and change situations which may be harmful to children. The toll-free Child Protective Services Hot Line (1-800-552-7096) provides round-the-clock response to complaints of possible or suspected child abuse or neglect, which are immediately investigated by local child protective services workers. If investigation proves a complaint valid, these workers provide or arrange for services to the endangered child and to his or her family and the alleged abuser or neglecter. The Child Protective Services program also provides services to families and children where no complaint has been made but where a child may be at risk. Protective and preventive services to children are available to all families regardless of income. Most of the 36.817 cases investigated by Child Protective Service workers in 1980-81 involved neglect of the child (52 percent). The remaining situations included emotional abuse or neglect (14.9 percent), physical abuse (13.6 percent), and sexual abuse (4.7 percent). Other types of abuse or neglect accounted for 14.6 percent of the founded cases. Some 38 Virginia children died as the direct result of abuse or neglect from July 1, 1980 through June 30, 1981, accounting for 0.2 percent of the abuse-neglect reports. The 36,817 child abuseneglect complaints were reported by various sources. Professionals mandated by law to report suspected child abuse or neglect accounted for 31.9 percent of all reports. These professionals include doctors, law enforcement officers, social workers, teachers, and others whose work brings them in contact with children. The remaining 68.1 percent of suspected child abuse-neglect situations were reported by friends, neighbors, relatives, etc. Of the mandated reporters, public school personnel were the largest source of reports. Of the nonmandated reporters, friends and neighbors were the largest source. The largest number of child abuse-neglect investigations occurred in the Tidewater area, followed by "Whoever gossips to you will gossip of you."

Diane Bruce, Clerk Board of Supervisors Rappahannock County beyond the confines of our own buildings and our own staff,” explained superintendent Robert Estabrook. The line-up of courses arranged by Laurie Marshall, coordinator of the gifted and talented program, cover seminars for elementary and high school students in computers, law, writing, animals, performing and art. Resource teachers for the law seminar include local attorneys Douglas Baumgardner, David Konick. J. W. Fletcher III, Peter Luke and Sharon Genebach. The lawyers will explain the Virginia and U. S. court systems and different types of law (criminal, civil and contractual), and then argue a case in a demonstration of debate. Next, the students will take over, researching a case and preparing arguments for pro and con positions to be presented before Judge Snead. With help from Sen. McCarthy, Diane Wood and Sally Bristol, aspiring writers, will try to create their own masterpieces in the writing seminar. Tentative plans call for their works to be published in a literary magazine, the first for RCHS. Unemployment may be at its highest level since the Depression but the daily metropolitan newspapers are chock full of want ads for computer programers and analysts. Students in the gifted and talented program will get an introduction into the field in James Wood's computer seminar. Ken Ritvo and Tim Kilby will assist with presentations on architectural and graphic uses of computers. After mastering a few basics in language and programing, the students will then have a chance to do some actual "hands-on” work with computers. Game warden James Bankston, veterinarian Barbara Kasbohm and taxidermist Rick Talley will join the forces to teach a seminar on animals that will include a talk by a representative from the National Zoological Park facility near Front Royal. In an example of the cross-over of study areas incorporated in the gifted and talented program, the students will research their favorite animal and create a product in poetry, scupture, drawing or essay. Rappahannock's Last Minute Wood Company will conduct a modern dance and improvisation workshop as an element of Laurie Marshall's performing seminar. Musically inclined youngsters will get an opportunity to work with singer and guitarist Bill Abernathy of the Okays. Students will also tape a dramatic reading by Waldron and Sam O’Connor which will be used in learning disabled resource classes. Performances by students in the program will be video-taped, possibly for entry in a statewide media contest. Projects for the art seminar include a backdrop painting for the Woman’s Club Fashion Show, a mural for the junior-senior prom and an exhibit with the theme “Images of America” for display at the Choral Society’s spring concert. Under the direction of Marshall and RCHS art teacher Don Bomberger, the budding artists will also view video-tapes of established giants—Degas, Rembrandt, Goya and Mexican muralists. Triad Enrichment According to superintendent Estabrook, this year’s revised program is patterned after the triad enrichment model developed by Dr. Joseph Renzulli, the nationally recognized authority in the field of gifted and talented courses. ‘‘His notion is that you don’t do things differently for gifted and talented youngsters. You treat all youngsters alike in terms of your general educational offerings. The difference is the added provision you make for gifted and talented students to expand and refine those general offerings. It’s not a program that's totally divorced from the activities for the other youngsters,” COUNTRY STOREof Washington, Virginia V Hear Ye, Hear Ye NEW HOURS Wednesday 9-4 Saturday & Sunday 12-6 Fudge has arrived! Little lambies for Easter! Spring & Summer Bermuda bags! 675-3788 Country Gifts Estabrook explained. Renzulli’s approach incorporates three different types of activities: (1) enrichment and exploration, (2) group training and (3) individual and small group training. “Only the most able and the most highly motivated get to type three activities,” the superintendent noted. “Even within a gifted and talented program, we’re still not taking each and every student and treating them exactly the same.” With type two activities, youngsters receive training in creativity, problem solving and higher thinking skills, Marshall noted. As an example, she described the work of a fifth grader in a gifted and talented program elsewhere in the country. The youngster researched World War II* interviewing people in his community who either fought in the conflict or had a relative who fought. He gathered letters and objects, created a museum and then conducted workshops—one hour, two hour and day-long sessions—on World War II. Teachers pre-tested the youngster in various school subjects and if the results showed he had mastered the topic, he used the class period to work on his special project. In something along those same lines, Estabrook hopes to eventually carry over the gifted and talented program here into day-to-day school activities. “It’s a link we need to forge as we move into the next year,” he said, noting that in-service training for teachers will preceed the move. “It will give the youngsters continuing input and motivation, the day-today recognition these students need." This year, the gifted and talented program serves % children, all of them identified last year as being gifted or talented. In accordance with state mandates, gifted and talented students are those who possess abilities in one or more of five areas: —general intellectual ability. —specific academic ability, —visual and performing arts, —psychosocial (leadership) ability, —creative and productive thinking ability. “Up to this point, Rappahannock County has followed the path typical of the state and the nation in focusing on the first area—general intellectual ability—with screening emphasis on standardized test data,” Estabrook noted. Fairfax Model In the future, however, Rappahannock will use a multi-dimensional screening device modeled after Fairfax County and adapted to fit needs here, according to the superintendent. With this approach, he said, youngsters will be evaluated on the basis of criteria which include a battery of tools: group intelligence tests, individual intelligence tests, standardized achievement tests, aptitude tests in a wide range of subjects, creativity tests, interest inventories, grades, performance auditions and teacher, peer, parent and self nomination. According to the superintendent, all those who work with the gifted and talented program—administrators, teachers and the parent advisory board —-are Uncomfortable with the label. “Kids are not overly eager to be seen as different so we’re looking at an alternative way of referring to the program to give a better understanding of the intent. It's not to label but to provide an opportunity for growth," Estabrook explained. As part of the effort to create better understanding, the superintendent sees a place for counseling for both students and parents. “We need to reach out to the parents and to the students to help them deal with the notion of being gifted and talented,” he said, Estabrook noted that in Wythe County, where he served before coming to Rappahannock, he '‘’found youngsters "very bothered...almost ashamed of being labeled ‘gifted and talented’. At times, there’s real pain in both quarters—parents and children—involved in dealing with a child’s exceptional ability...Parents need to learn what kind of things they can do to carry on the continuity of the program from classroom to home.” Another area Estabrook would like to see addressed at some {joint in the future is expansion to a summer program in cooperation with a local community college. He noted that in Wythe County, upper level high school students participated in two and . three week courses at a community college where they were exposed to a wide range of disciplines, spending one day in a dramatics class, one in a physics class, one in a literature seminar and so on. Then the following summer, students returning for a second round spent longer periods in areas where they had a particular interest, going to fewer classes but spending two or three days in each. All of this takes time and planning, the key to an effective program for exceptional students. "I noticed a growing motivation in the youngsters involved in the gifted and talented program each year. It was very ob vious,” Estabrook maintained. "The more detailed planning we did. the more interest we generated among the young people."

Proposed Budget Is $2.4 Million (Continued from Page 1) out his proposals for 1982-83 school spending. But at the same time, everyone must realize that ‘‘this is not a time of plentiful dollars in Rappahannock County, in the Commonwealth of Virginia or in this country," he added. He described the budget process as an effort to achieve ‘‘a delicate balance between those needs and our ability to raise money.” Later in the presentation, he acknowledged that the General Assembly, in raising basic aid payments to local school divisions ($80,652 increase for Rappahannock) had suggested that most of the increase go to teacher salaries. On the other hand. Estabrook pointed out, the legislature stuck several categories previously funded separately—superintendent’s salary, textbook payments, drivers education—into basic aid this year, making the increase smaller than it appears on paper in terms of uncommitted dollars. “I’m not trying to say that the General Assembly lied to us or that they don’t want to help the teachers...but you have to realize that other categories have been plowed in (and now must be funded from basic aid),” he stated.

Contact: Joe Howell 672-4688 or Holman Morris 832-3941 line items Estabrook proposes to decrease from this year’s funding level. 70 Cents For Science High school science teacher Brion Patterson said when he First came to Rappahannock about seven years ago. he conducted a survey on funding levels in 1 the general area of science ; equipment. He found that 1 adjoining counties— 1 Culpeper, Page and '■ Orange—expended ap- 1 proximately $12 per student 1 annually while the Valley's ' city schools spent $20. “At 1 that time Rappahannock spent around 70 cents per student," he reported, adding that the entire budget for the science department was then only $250. “I couldn’t really do anything—1 couldn’t even supply the kids with litmus paper,” Patterson said. He acknowledged that there’s been a “tremendous improvement” over the past few years, thanks to the school board’s approval of larger amounts for instructional supplies. But equipment for a laboratory science program is expensive, Patterson maintained, showing the school board members a small box of equipment that he estimated would cost at least $270. He asked that the line item for instructional supplies be increased over the current allocation of $41,695 to cover inflation or at least be kept at the same level. Guidance counselor James Futrell reported that he spends close to 50 percent of his time doing clerical work that is handled by a full-time secretary in other school divisions. He emphasized that the time he spends typing and filing should be spent in offering students guidance and counseling instead and asked if the proposed budget included funds for a part-time secretary, a position he has requested for the past several years. Estabrook answered that his proposal did not reflect funds for clerical help for the guidance office but added that there are other ways of accomplishing the same ends, possible through having students handle some of the clerical work as part of career exploration, and indicated he will work with Futrell on resolving the problem. LD-ED Request Debbie Harris, high school teacher for learning disabled and emotionally disturbed students, asked if funds are provided in the budget for an LD-ED self-contained classroom. This year, said Harris, she works with 14 students on a resource basis and serves four students in a self-contained program. Next year, she will have eight selfcontained students. “1 don’t know how it will be possible to schedule (the different resource classes around working with self-contained students)," she added. Jerry Lysik, director of special education, replied that the proposed budget does not include a selfcontained ED-LD class at the high school. “I’m not saying there’s no need—there’s no teacher in the budget at the present time.” The special education program “is growing by leaps and bounds at the elementary and high school levels but we’re not hiring at the high school level.” Harris responded.

JOHN WALKER JENKINS Auctioneering Service 675-3325 Washington, Va. 987-8211 Don Bomberger wore four Efferent hats to present his request at the budget in-put session. As a teacher at the iigh school, he supported the :ight percent proposed in:rease in substitute teacher say, maintaining that the jrobelm in finding good people willing to substitute at RCHS will never be solved mless adequate pay is ofered. As head of the math lepartment, he asked that unds for instructional upplies be sufficient to cover lurchase of additional microcomputers so that students vill have hands-on ex>erience in programing. As dramatics sponsor, he requested the board to appropriate money for the school’s drama program. In the past, Bomberger noted, all money has come from sale of tickets for school productions. Finally, as head of the art department, he asked for funds for an electric kiln so that art classes can work with clay that can be fired. In response, Estabrook replied that his proposed budget does not reflect Bomberger’s requests for a kiln, micro-computers or money for the drama program. He added,'however, that once the appropriation for instructional supplies is approved by the school board and the budget okayed by the supervisors, he and Lysik will consult with building principals on how to divide the money between various departments and will take into account teachers’ requests. ‘‘I don’t think we should turn any kids loose on the world who haven't been exposed to computers,” said Sharon Kilpatrick, supporting Bomberger’s request for additional computers and recommending that they should be supplied to the elementary school as well. She added that rural Page County teaches computer sciences at the elementary level. Kilpatrick also supported adoption of the index pay scale with a five percent base pay increase over this year’s starting salary, expansion of the band program, and extension of activity bus to run throughout the entire school year. Robin Dexter, elementary teacher who began the band program three years ago, noted that she now works before and after school two days per week with students. As a full-time teacher, she has only so many hours available. Dexter said, requesting funds for instruments, music and a parttime trained instructor for band who would teach two or three hours during the school day. Not A Luxury “Music is a' need, not a luxury," maintained Charlotte Nichols. “A music program will pay back the community many times over...We need music, art and drama," she insisted. “We should think of our educational program as an investment, not a burden,” Nichols continued. "We're not wasting the money we spend on students and teachers. Our children are our only resource.” Rappahannock County has good teachers, said Nichols, but they won’t stay if they can’t pay their grocery bills, bills that are going up all the time. Rappahannock has to “dig down" and come up with the money to fund a school budget that will keep teachers working in the county, she said. “I see in my child the wonderful job our teachers are doing here.” Even in these hard times, Askew Receives Freedom Award By WENDY SIZER Democrat Staff Writer Many public servants are not in the most enviable of positions. Frequently they sit in the hot seat when members of the public or members of the press ask pointed and demanding questions about important public issues. And when the public wants to know, some officials meet a controversial issue head-on. In recognition of the candid and open manner with which he has handled many volatile issues in his years of service to Fauquier County, Donald R. Askew, Fauquier-Rappahannock resident engineer for the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation, was given The Fauquier Democrat 1982 Freedom of Information Award in a ceremony Friday. "We are in the information business,” George L. Barton, IV, the newspaper’s editor, told a small audience comprised of family, colleagues and reporters gathered for the presentation, “but the two men who receive these awards today recognize they are in the information business also. “We feel both men have gone the extra distance, answering questions patiently and, in some cases, providing assistance and information about areas not directly concerned with their normal duties. We feel this concern is one they would show for any other private citizen seeking information...to make intelligent decisions and to lead more productive lives,” Mr. Barton said. VDHT Culpeper District Engineer Donald B. Hope admits Don Askew “is hard-headed at times,” but he possesses the characteristics that lend themselves to the entire department’s “spirit Of cooperation.” “Don is a good manager and has an ability to get along with people,” Mr. Hope says. It is an essential quality for the job, particularly when it comes to contact with the public and county ernment officials. All too often highway issues become controversial largely because revenues are few and demands are many. The completion of the Warrenton Bypass and the widening of Route 17 North are two good examples. Public sentiment runs high, and frequently Mr. Askew finds himself saying “no” when he would prefer to say “yes.” “It is hard to say no,” says Mr. Hope. But what Mr. Askew does is to ex the schools must continue to support the arts, Nichols emphasized. “We can’t become poverty stricken in our souls,’’ she concluded. The board is scheduled to adopt a budget for 1982-83 at a special meeting /set for Tuesday, March 30./But with the members in disagreement on several key components, they decided to hold an extra budget work session on Friday, March 26, at 7:30 in the elementary school library. Superintendent Estabrook also agreed to work on resolving the differences in figures for percentage increases in teacher pay that he and Robert Eastham came up with. “We believe what we have is right but we don’t claim infallibility,’’ the superintendent said.

The end result is often a productive exchange of ideas rather than the creation of an adversary relationship which alienates the public servant from the public he serves. Mr. Askew, about to be 42, began his career with the department 18 years ago as an engineer trainee in Norfolk and was promoted to Fauquier and Rappahannock's resident engineer in 1972, after climbing the ladder in Richmond and Loudoun County. Perhaps Mr. Askew’s most significant accomplishment was his efficient supervision of Interstate 66’s completion through Fauquier County, says Mr. Hope. “He did a very good job of managing that work.” Although Mr. Hope praises him for “making good judgements” and being a man who gets things done, Don Askew’s most important asset is his ability to get along with so many people. “Some people have it, and some people don't,” Mr. Hope says. And the trait is all important. “We are in touch with the people of Virginia every day. We are out there for inspection.

John All-Risk Crop Insurance Program Explained When Congress decided to minimize crop disaster programs, it came up with what nearly everyone agrees is a better idea: A nationwide program of All-Risk crop insurance in which the government pays a substantial part of the premium for an insurance policy individual crop producers can tailor to their own needs. The new insurance program, sponsored by USDA’s Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC), begins with this year’s crops and is available through local private insurance agents. According to Brice Clements, FCIC district director, farmers can now obtain insurance coverage for com, wheat, barley and grain sorghum. The deadlines to apply are March 31 for com and April 30 for grain sorghum. Gements explains that farmers can “customize” their insurance in a variety of ways. A farmer with documented yield history for at least three years can obtain a production guarantee based on past yields. Each farmer has a choice of carrying a policy that guarantees either 50 percent, 65 percent, or 75 percent of average yield. Each also can choose from three selections, the price to be paid for each crop that actual production on the farm falls below the guarantee. Another choice involves hail insurance. By election to delete hail and fire coverage from the All-Risk policy and carrying private hail and fire coverage instead, a farmer’s premium for All-Risk insurance will be reduced accordingly. Or, if the maximum hail and fire protection is wanted, a farmer can purchase private insurance to supplement the coverage provided by the AllRisk policy. To make All-Risk insurance as affordable as possible Clements points out that the Federal Government pays up to 30 percent of the premium. The balance, which is paid by the farmer, is a tax-deductible business expense. In addition, discounts—ranging from 5 percent of the premium after one year, to as high as 50 percent of the premium are given to policyholders with few or no insured losses. Farmers desiring information about the insurance options available to them and what various levels of protection would cost should contact the ASCS office in their county. r r FAUQUIER LIVESTOCK EXCHANGE INCORPORATED REGULAR SALES Every Tues.

Flood Plain Questions Addressed (Continued from Page 1) plain boundaries) is something the commission should deal with." "Are you asking for an immediate solution?'' questioned Dave Fannon. “1 would like to have an immediate solution." Atkins answered. Planning commission chairman A. Y. Stokes noted that the commission already has been asked to designate clearly the current flood plain boundary for the village. "But it hasn't been done yet." interjected Charles Estes, Piedmont District supervisor who represents the board on the planning district. Estes maintained that the community’s businesses existed prior to adoption of the zoning ordinance and thus were permitted under the "grandfather” clause. All Not Grandfathered "There have been new businesses put in the flood plain." Atkins countered. "Everything there is not grandfather." "DeMent (P.E. DeMent's addition to his Sperryville antique business) is a classic example." remarked commissioner Werner Krebser. “He just went ahead and built it.” Joe Atkins. Sr., added that he’d been granted a drainfield permit for the proposed used car lot property by the health department in 1974 but hadn't installed the septic system. "Personally, 1 think it works a hardship on anyone in the Sperryville area," maintained Estes in reference to restrictions against flood plain development under the villages current flood plain boundaries. “If you own property there, you can't do anything with it.” Atkins agreed. District conservationist Lue Walters noted that landowners from Sperryville have been directed frequently to his office by the local health department for a determination of the soil type on their property. He can make that determination, Walters said, but can’t set an exact distance from flood plain boundary (critical for installation of a septic drainfield since zoning regulations require that sewage disposal systems be set back at least 50 feet from a flood plain). He suggested that the commission consider using the 50-year flood mark as criterium for the flood plain boundary and hire an engineer to conduct studies to show exactly how far over the bank of the Thornton water can be expected to rise. In addition, Walters said, if an area floods less frequently than every five years, soil type won't give an accurate determination of flood plain. Estes asked for a time frame on completion of the on-going zoning ordinance revisions. Stokes replied that planning commissioner Newbill Miller (absent from Wednesday’s meeting) is proceeding with work to get the flood plain boundary defined. "Bui we're going by soils—not by 50-year storm," interjected Krebser. “Soils play a big part in putting in a drain field but it's a different matter with a used car lot," Estes commented. At Least 6 Months Krebser continued that it will take probably an additional six months before zoning ordinance revisions are completed. "Then we’ll have to draw the map," added Konick, pointing out that new zoning districts added in the revisions will have to be designated as well. He predicted that it will take at least a whole week of nights just to complete the maps, and that it will require much longer than six months to complete the revision process unless the commission schedules extra meetings. "We'll just have to do it," Krebser maintained. Konick agreed that the commission should meet weekly if necessary to get the job done. “Every week that goes by 1 just say a little prayer of thanks that no one has come in (to the zoning office) from Sperryville," he added. "Do you plan to do anything in the interim?" asked commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner. “My preference is to speed the process up,” Konick replied. Bird asked how long it will take to have a hydrological survey completed. The actual surveying won’t require many hours, Walters replied. He noted, however, that then the information will have to be transferred to maps, a much more tirheconsuming process. “We won’t be wasting time to start that now if we’re going in that direction with the revisions (using flood level rather than soil type to designate flood plain boundary),” Bird added. It was noted that information on flood levels in Sperryville may be available already from information compiled in engineering studies for the village’s proposed sewage disposal system. Konick agreed to check with the Water and Sewer Authority on what data they have and Walters volunteered to investigate possibilities for having the engineering surveys done through his office. The zoning administrator noted that restrictions against building in flood plain are designed to protect against structures being carried off by high waters and then lodged downstream at a bridge where the pile-up can create an even greater flooding hazard. “I don’t think the flood plain restrictions should be changed—just the flood plain designation,” he said. In one final word, Joe Atkins, Sr., ticked off the names of people in Sperryville who have recently built in the flood plain and run septic lines into the Thornton River. If they are allowed to get away with violating the zoning ordinance; he asked why can't his son get approval for parking used cars in the flood plain? Erosion Regulations Earlier in the meeting, the planning commissioners met with Walters and Scott Crafton from the Soil and Water Conservation L. ,.i id’s Richmond office to discuss changes in the county's Introducing PATRICIA VEST Insurance Advisor, Rappahannock County Auto • Homeowners • Farm Owners • Fire • Life • Tax Deductible Retirement Accounts Come by and visit Pat to find out how Farm Bureau Services can secure your family, home and personal property in Rappahannock County VIRGINIA FARM BUREAU INSURANCE SERVICES ni. i, dox /a ^ Woodville, Va. 22749 (703)987-8225 Home Office - Richmond, Va. erosion and sedimentation ordinance. The revisions, which primarily reflect changes in state enabling legislation, include: —designation of the zoning administrator (rather than county engineer) as program administrator, —addition of underground utilities not under a hardsurfaced road as coming under erosion and sedimentation ordinance controls, —provision that construction projects falling within more than one jurisdiction may submit an erosion and sedimentation .itrol plan to the Soil and Water Conservation offices in Richmond, —setting out inspection and enforcement procecures as part of the requirement for issuance of a land disturbing permit, —lowering costs for erosion and sedimentation control plans to the $150 per project maximum set by the state. Baumgardner noted that he will forward a draft copy of revisions to the Soil and Water Conservation offices to ensure that wording complies with state enabling legislation. Douglas Sentenced (Continued from Page 4) Opinion Not Injurious Robertson refused Douglas' request for an inchambers conference. “Dr. Dimitris’ evaluation is not injurious to you in this court,’’ the judge emphasized. “I'm perfectly sane, your honor. ” the defendant responded. Dimitris added that he would be glad to deliberate further regarding his conclusions on Douglas' mental state if given statements of others involved. Douglas volunteered to take the stand on Wednesday to tell Dimitris the truth about his relationship with Marx. “We’ve alreadv heard what he thinks about Mr. Baumgardner’s lies,’’ Douglas added. “Dr. Dimitris has not made an evaluation that is injurious to you in the least...He said you are sane,” repeated the judge. “I'm looking for some compliments," Douglas countered. “I'm looking for someone to say that I did the right thing...that he deserved to be shot,” the defendant added. maintaining he deserved a medal for shooting Marx. He acknowledged he has psychological problems but insisted those problems are “based on facts and not on fantasy...Really this trial should be backed up and start all over again.” Douglas described his situation as “ambiguous.” He said he doesn't want to be behind bars with crazy criminals, that he’d be "like a fish out of water...It's one hell of a life." At the same time, Douglas said, the alleged “criminal activities” of Peter Marx have cost him his home, job, reputation, family and most of his friends, and left him penniless. "I don’t know how I can ask the court to turn me loose so I can go home because I don’t have a home," he said. And in addition to what Marx has done to him. Douglas continued, he has also "been railroaded like a criminal by Mr. Baumgardner and his lies.” The defendant said he can’t return to Richmond since his reputation there has been ruined to the point that he can't get a job and therefore can’t support himself. If the court won’t dismiss the charges against him and order restitution. Douglas said he wanted a suspended sentence and promised to meet all conditions, including staying away from Peter Marx and Rappahannock County. But he added that he had to be free to leave Richmond and even the state in order “to get away from the lies pinned on me.” He said he wanted to go out into the middle of a desert. “I’ll just disappear," he promised. Douglas maintained that the only real argument he has against the malicious wounding charges is that the Building? •Paint •Lumber ,v •Millwork y •Hardware W Complete One Step BUILDING SUPPLY Warrenton Building Material Co., Ine. on the By Pass Warrenton 347 1400 actions he took were logical, rational and legal. “I can’t prove that because Mr. Baumgardner caused this trial to be delayed for over two years.” he argued. In his January trial. Douglas said, the truth was ruled to be a collateral and irrelevant matter, referring to his allegations that Peter Marx is really John D. Marks and possibly a number of other government figures as well. Douglas said that at another time he wants to raise the issue of Baumgardner’s conduct as it relates to the deposition supplied to Dr. Dimitris. “It's irritated me to the point where I don’t even feel rational today," he admitted. Shot In The Back In his sentencing argument, the commonwealth's attorney noted that Douglas has been convicted by a jury of a serious felony. “He shot a man in the back, attempted to gun him down” and then fled from the county, Baumgardner started, noting the defendant was still armed when arrested. He pointed out that Douglas has four prior felony convictions as well. “Three relate to very serious crimes of violence—three counts of attempted murder." In addition, Baumgardner said, Douglas shows no remorse and instead maintains that what he did was right. "I submit that the court has no alternative but to sentence him to serve 15 years in the penitentiary," the commonwealth’s attorney concluded. “I'd like to call Mr. Baumgardner to the stand.” Douglas interjected. Robertson explained that as counsel for the commonwealth. Baumgardner couldn’t be called upon to testify. Douglas argued that Baumgardner has some type of relationship with Pejer Marx, the victim in the shooting. "I’d like to know what that relationship is.” The judge replied that Wednesday’s hearing was not the proper forum in which to explore the question. Douglas repeated that he wanted a suspended sentence with reasonable conditions, specifically “the right to leave society." He insisted that he will not cause problems for Marx or anybody else but still stated that “I'm very proud to have done what I did. I stood up for right when nobody else would do a thing.” Payne, court-appointed counsel for Douglas, noted that his client’s earlier conviction for breaking and entering grew out of a domestic difficulty when Douglas tried to see his exwife. Likewise, his 1974 conviction on three counts of attempted murder came after Douglas spotted his ex-wife in a car and attempted to run her off the road, according to Payne. In both instances, he added, Douglas has paid for his crimes. In ruling Douglas legally sane and imposing the jury’s sentence of 15 years, Judge Robertson noted that the defendant will receive credit for the time he's already spent incarcerated on the malicious wounding charges. "The court sincerely hopes you make parole," the judge concluded. General District Court Cases James Elvis Nicholson, Jr., Front Royal, discharge firearm from highway, $50 fine $13 costs. William E.
