Rappahannock News, April 1, 1982

Dispatchers, Deputy, Secretary, Car Okayed Fauquier To Refuse Rapp’k. Prisoners After March 31 By DAPHNE HI TCHINSON Rappahannock ‘New* Staff ^ ritcr At a special meeting on Monday, a quorum of the Rappahannock supervisors—Clarence Baldwin, Charles Estes and chairman J. R. Latham—voted unanimously to include $7,031 in the 1982-83 budget for a 1982 Plymouth Fury to replace one of the sheriffs department vehicles. Sheriff W. A. Buntin had asked for three vehicles, available from the State Division of Purchasing, so he could phase out two or three of the cars now used, depending on whether his request for an additional deputy was approved by the State Compensation Board. But word received last week that Fauquier County will not accept prisoners from Supt. Recommends Wingfield’s Ouster At a faculty meeting held early Tuesday morning, teachers at Rappahannock County High School learned of an attempt to remove high school principal Dennis Wingfield from the position he has held for 16 years. On Friday, Wingfield received a letter from the superintendent of schools in which Robert Estabrook announced that he will recommend to the school board that Wingfield not be reappointed as RCHS principal for 1982-83. In the letter, Estabrook noted that he was taking the action on the basis of his observations of Wingfield’s performance over the past several months. Contacted on Tuesday, Estabrook would not comment except to acknowledge that he had written to Wingfield and would bring the matter up with the school board at its April 13 meeting. Rappahannock after March 31 made the supervisors leery of committing additional funds when they may be required to expend money to reopen a jail here. “This is not the year to ask for a whole lot,” maintained Estes. “We have no idea what the impact of all these agricultural districts (with use value taxation) will be and we may have to add on to the jail. The judges can order that it be improved and then we’d be in serious trouble (financially),” he said. In buying new vehicles for the sheriffs department, “the only thing the county is doing is putting up the money now and getting reimbursement later.” Buntin said. “We expect to have the cars paid for in three years if things go on as they are now.” The sheriff presented figures that show $11,789 reimbursement by the state for total cost of operating three county cars in fiscal year 1980-81 plus an additional $5,791 over costs. Under current mileage payments, he expects to receive $18,814 in FY 198182, $6,960 more than operational expenses. The excess and an additional $1,386 reimbursement for insurance totals $14,139; well over the $11,085 paid for the three cars two years ago, the sheriff noted. Purchasing three new vehicles will work out the same way, he said, with the county repaid in three years. “Our maintenance is as cheap as anybody can operate a car,” the sheriff maintained, refering to minimal bills for work done on police cars through the school bus shop. Buntin predicted, however, that expenses for repairs will mount if the department’s current cars—all approaching 100,000 miles—aren’t replaced with new vehicles. “The money is there (in reimbursements from the state)...If we don’t get ours, somebody else is going to get it," the sheriff concluded. Bad Time To Up Taxes “It looks like the federal government and everybody else is trying to hold down taxes.” countered supervisor (Continued on Page 5) $2.4 Million School Budget Gives 8.5% Hike To All Staff After a month of meetings, the Rappahannock school board proposed a $2,401,017 budget for 1982-83 on Tuesday that includes an 8.5 percent pay increase for all school employees, a new administrator to oversee special education and Title 1 programs, roof repairs for both schools, two new school buses and a new combination bus garage and central office building. With the proposed salary increase hammered out in a compromise at a work session last Friday, the budget adoption meeting was in essence a formality. With the exception of the salary issue, the board acted quickly and unanimously in voting approval for 12 categories. Robber Nabbed In A Flash Tracy Montgomery Franklin was arrested at 11:31 a.m. on Monday, just 31 minutes after he allegedly took an unspecified amount of money from the cash register at Settle’s garage in Flint Hill. According to Virginia State Trooper Chuck Moore, the 23-year-old Culpeper resident walked into the Flint Hill store and took money from the cash register when he thought no one was looking. Witnesses saw the theft, however, took down the license number of the Ford Torino Franklin was driving and then called the police, Moore said. Franklin was stopped on Route 688 in Fauquier County by Trooper W. E. Walther. He has been charged with grand larceny and is being held in the Fauquier jail pending a hearing. According to Moore, the money taken from the cash register was recovered. On salary, however, Nancy Reeve stated that it was her assumption from discussions at last Friday’s work session that the 8.5 percent compromise raise would be applied to each experience step in the existing salary scale, not to each teacher’s individual pay. She explained that in voting for the 8.5 percent increase, she thought teachers would receive the percentage cost of living raise afforded all school employees plus their experience increment. She was interrupted repeatedly during her explanation by Robert Eastham, his voice raised in protest. He insisted again and again that what the board approved on Friday was a straight 8.5 percent increase for all school employees and kept shoving what was presumably a copy of that earlier motion in front of Reeve. If the board had given teachers what Reeve thought was approved, he insisted, it #ould work out to 11.3 percent, an increase he described as completely unacceptable. The Wakefield District representative’s behavior brought a reprimand from the school board chairman. ‘‘Conduct yourself like a gentleman and do not speak out of turn,” she admonished Eastham. Negotiations Ad Naseum He continued that a representative from the Rappahannock County Education Association had telephoned him the previous night ‘‘and attempted to inveigle me into saying” that the board had approved an 8.5 percent pay increase plus experience step for teachers. After ‘‘negotiations ad naseum” at Friday’s work session, Eastham noted, he and Lane had moved up one and a half percentage points from what they thought the raise should be in voting for the 8.5 percent hike. “This board would never aoorove (Continued on Page 5) — Rappahannock Nw* Phot*>/S.

Approval With Reservations Voiced At Sewer Hearing Only a handful of village residents spoke at Monday’s hearing on Sperryville’s proposed sewer project, all in support of a waste water treatment facility but with the proviso that monthly user fees be affordable and that A the, system eliminate ground 'voter contamination Representatives from the Health Department and State Water Control Board and an engineer from the firm that developed the proposal for the STEP tseptic tank effluent pump) and package treatment plant system began Monday’s hearing with brief background presentations on the history of the Sperryville project. When the meeting was subsequently opened for public comment or question, just five of the 20 or so persons attending responded. Stu Wilson from the Alexandria office of the State Water Control Board (SWCB) noted that some type of waste water treatment plant for Sperryville has been on the SWCB’s state priority list since 1974, ranked fifth out of 181 proposed projects. The high ranking is attributable to a known health hazard arising from at least 40 points where raw sewage is discharged directly into the Thornton River and from contamination of ground water, according to Wilson. The situation that existed in 1974 hasn’t changed; ground water is still contaminated and raw sewage continues to flow into the river, he said. To eliminate the pollution and bring the community into compliance with state law, a community septic system was considered to be more cost effective rather than requiring corrective action from individual homeowners, Wilson said. Under this approach, the SWCB has set aside $1.4 million for Sperryville from federal Environmental Protection Agency funds which the state expects to receive in fiscal year 1983 according to Wilson. The money will become available in October, 1982 (when the federal 1983 fiscal year begins) unless the federal government holds up funding, he said, ‘‘the worst situation would be a delay in the receipt of the money for a year,” Wilson added. Too Costly Sperryville had money allocated previously by EPA and the Department of Housing and Urban Development for a sewer system that reached the design phase before being rejected as too costly, he said. "The plan before you today has not yet been approved (by the SWCB),” Wilson noted. “Conceptually, it appears adequate," he said, adding that only minor design details will have to be worked out. “At the turn of the century, Sperryville was a very thriving community with the largest population concentration in Rappahannock County,” said Dr. John Einarson, regional health department director. But the community’s suitability for development is hampered by a very shallow water table and soil types which are inadequate for drainfield disposal of sewage, he said. He maintained that a sewage treatment system is the “only solution” to the community’s pollution problem, noting that fecal coliform bacteria, the contaminant in SoerrvviUe’s wells, can cause chronic disease. Bob Demer. Bucha'rtHom’s engineer assigned to the Sperryville project, explained that his firm conducted a restudy of the sewer project after the gravity flow collection system with treatment in an aerated lagoon, a design approved by (Continued on Page 4) 1 — Rappahannock Newa Photn/T.

Hutchinson JEAN MOFFETT, widow of former judge William Moffett who was honored in portrait hanging ceremonies last Friday, chats with Judge Rayner V. Snead who presided over the event. Snead was one of a host of judicial stars watching the portrait unveiled in the Washington Court House by Moffett’s grandchildren. Others included juvenile and domestic court judge Burke Hertz, general district judge William Carson, new circuit court judge Tom Horne, new juvenile and domestic judge John Ryan, and lawyers, probation officers and commonwealth’s attorneys from three counties. Moffett Is Lauded At Portrait Hanging By DAPHNE'HUTCHINSON Kappahannm'k Mrw* Staff 1 rit**r William F. Moffett, former commonwealth’s attorney for Rappahannock and juvenile and domestic judge of the 20th Judicial District, "knew and loved the law but the guiding points in his life were Rappahannock County....and his friends,” his son Page Moffett told a crowd at the courthouse on Friday. Those friends who meant so much to Billy Moffett gathered last week to pay tribute to their old comrade as his portrait was hung in the courtroom where he had argued and deliberated for almost 30 years. The oil painting of the retired judge was commissioned from Northern Virginia artist Robert Prouty by the friends of William F. Moffett. “I treasure no one more highly in my legal career than Judge Moffett," said Tom Horne, former commonwealth’s attorney from Loudoun County and the newest circuit court judge in the 20th district. He described Moffett as com passionate and fair but emphasized that he was a fine lawyer as well. When sitting in Loudoun, Moffett was often faced with city slickers who thought they could put one over on the judge from rural Rappahannock, according to Horne. Instead, Moffett used “his great legal acumen” to put the urban "hot shots” in their place in his courtroom, the new circuit court judge added. “He made a long-lasting impression on our courts in Loudoun, just as he did in Fauquier and Rappahannock,’’ Horne said. Only one citation hangs on the walls of the new courthouse complex in Leesburg and that citation recognizes Judge Moffett, he added. Stunned With Admiration After his first half hour in Moffett’s juvenile and domestic relations court, “I literally fell in love with the charming gentleman on the bench,” said Francis Greene, assistant commonwealth's attorney for Fauquier. The fatherly treatment that the judge accorded the young people he dealt with and the number of kids he straightened out "leave me stunned with admiration... The luckiest thing that ever happened to me was to have 7'/i years in Billy Moffett's court," Greene concluded. The former judge who died last May “had an uncanny ability to size up kids," noted Fauquier probation officer Jim Wilson. He recalled that Judge Moffett could look “pretty mean” as he favored juvenile defendants with his long stares. Wilson remembered Norman, a young man who’d been in trouble previously and was making another appearance before the bench. "Billy looked at him for a long time and said, ‘If you ever come in this court again’—and he paused for a long time. I wondered what he was going to say. There wasn’t much else to threaten him with but jail and I knew Billy didn’t want to send him there. ’If you ever come in this court again. I’m going to show you where the bear sat in the buckwheat!' Norman scratched his head and when we went out of there, he was still wondering where the bear sat in the buckwheat!” Wilson related, sending a ripple of appreciative chuckles around the crowded courtroom. James W. Fletcher, dean of the Rappahannock Bar Association and a friend of Billy Moffett’s since they were pre-schoolers, cited two things that stood out about the former judge: “He was fair and he was a gentleman...Billy may have appeared gruff but his heart really bled for the people who appeared before him.” According to Fletcher, the Moffett family has always had a reputation for fairness and honesty. As an example, he related a story from his early days as a lawyer when Billy's father was commonwealth’s attorney and his uncle had been selected for jury panel on a case for which Fletcher was defense attorney. “I was perplexed,” Fletcher recalled, noting that he couldn’t decide whether to strike Billy’s uncle from jury membership and so asked his father, also a lawyer, for advice. The senior Fletcher maintained that Frank Moffett, the commonwealth’s attorney, was so fair that he’d strike his brother-in-law from the jury panel himself. But if he overlooked the family relationship somehow and didn’t challenge his relative, then Mr. Carter was so fair and honorable that he would bend over backward to make sure he didn’t favor his brother-in-law, Fletcher recalled being told by his father. Either way, his dad assured him, the younger Fletcher had nothing to worry about. Jack DeBergh, Billy Moffett’s best friend since boyhood, said the two of them had hunted together, fished together, ridden horses together and double-dated together in the years since they were babies. Some of the tales of their adventures can be told “and some can’t!” he joked. The Fauquier and Warren County probation officer recalled a hunting expedition when the two were pursuing quad up a ravine. *'Billy was a very good shot—usually. There was a question on this time, though... He fired, missed the bird and got a DeBergh instead! I took a pretty good peppering. He couldn’t help but hit my nose. And he got a few across my forehead as well,” (Continued on Page 10) Benefit Dinner A country ham dinner, sponsored by the Sperryville Ladies Auxiliary, will be served Saturday, April 3 from 5:30 to 7.30 p.m. in the Sperryville fire hall.

They flash their brilliant, irridescent colors at Richard Hitt's in Amissville and stun visitors with their elegance at John McKay’s in Castleton. It's difficult to ’ say who is prouder of their beauty—the birds or their masters. “I've always wanted a peacock. I just wanted to have them around,” said Hitt. “I love wildlife and I love having things like this to fool with.” Rappahannock Ncujh Rappahannock & Adjoining Counties per year $7 00 Elsewhere in the U S per year $8 50 Outside the U S. per year $7 00 plus postage SUBSCRIPTION RATES BY MAIL ALL PAYABLE IN ADVANCE ( ) New ( ) Renewal ( ) Check Enclosed NAME _IADDRESS_ CITY __ STATE __ ZIP Entered as second class mail at the Post Office in Warrenton, Va The Rappahannock News is published every Thursday at 39 Culpeper Street.

Three hatched and the two males with their six foot long tails are now the undisputed rules of Hitt’s farm. According to Hitt, the tails grow a foot a year. The birds lose their colorful appendages in August and September and the feathers start growing back in February, two feet for a twoyear-old, three feet for a three year old and so on. “They have every color you can imagine. They’re like a rainbow. You know the saying ‘Proud as a peacock?’ Well, it's sure right.” And these strutting definitions of pride have plenty to strut about. Their exotic hues seem out of place alongside the faded paint of wagons and tractors and the dull browns of March farm fields. They belong against a backdrop of shimmering waterfalls, wild orchids and rain forest. All the color isn’t in the peacock’s tail. Necks that sway and undulate like a belly dancer’s tummy are bright blue—a blue that the sky tries for but never quite achieves, a blue that would turn the Mediterranian Sea green with envy. A feathered comb crowns the head and the peacock's masked face, stark black over snowy white, lends the bird an air of mystery. Wings speckled cream and brown in an imitation snake skin pattern are banded with wide stripes, first black and then orange, that merge into the tail. And oh. what a tail it is. Carried straight out behind, it’s a banner of irridescent shades of emerald green, jade green, lime green, mint green and deep, dark green melting into still deeper, darker green, all streaked with gold and hues Spring Event The Washington Baptist Church will have their annual Spring Event on Saturday.

But the tail at rest, as beautiful as it is, can’t hold a feather to the spectacle of the full fan with its hundreds of shining eyes. A strutting peacock is a breath taking vision that broadcasts the magic of nature. It isn’t just the male that struts. His dowdy mate spreads her tale, putting on a much less flashy vesion of the same show. Even the babies get into the act. “They start strutting when they're about a week old,” Hilt reported. Pride Is Downfall But the peacock’s pride can also be his downfall. “I bet you can't catch one,” Hitt wagered, explaining that the birds can take off straight up in the air with a helicopter’s verticle climb to reach the safety of a barn roof or tree branch when threatened by a hungry maurauder. “The only time mine have gotten caught has been when they got cornered in the shed where they couldn’t fly/But in India, where they come from, tigers can catch them by grabbing their tails and pulling them back down,” Hitt reported. That fabulous tail is the single part of the bird that he has managed to touch since his peacocks were first hatched. "The only time I can put my hands on him is when he’s strutting his tail. He's watching the hen. so interested in her that he doesn’t pay any attention to me and I can walk right up and feel those feathers.” According to Hitt, peacocks don’t deserve the bird brain description that so aptly fits the rest of the fowl world. “They’re very, very schrewd,”he reported. "A hen will fly away from her nest so you don’t see the direction she’s walking from. And after leaving her feed, she’ll walk in every which direction before going back. Once I looked three weeks just to find one nest and it was right next to the barn, within 20 feet of the fence row.” Hitt gives his birds credit for having the highlv touted memory of an elenhani “They never forget,” he maintained. Several years ago, he recalled a neighborhood mutt cornered and killed one of his hens. Since then the rest of the flock zoom up to the barn roof every time their old enemy comes into view. At the same lime they disdainfully ignore any other visiting dog unless they’re chased. Dignity Always Even when they flee before an attacker, peacocks never lose their dignity. Last week, a Norwegian Elk hound mother who shares a shed with Hitt’s peacocks dashed out growling and snapping when a big cock strayed too close to her puppies. There was no scramble, no startled squawk. The bird just sailed gracefully and effortlessly up to the barn roof right from under the dog’s nose. The self-possessed creature made it look like that was what he intended to do all along; that it was only coincidence his flight and the dog’s charge Happened at the same time. Although Hitt doesn't have the kind of relationship with his birds that lets him scratch them behind a wing or tussle their feathers, he still considers his peacocks as pets. "They come right up to the house, look in the door at me and come on the porch. They’ve got a lot of curiosity. I can be working on the front of the tractor in the morning and they climb all over the back, trying to see just what I’m doing.” If the birds hear voices at the beauty shop nearby, Betty Hitt added, “they act like we're talking to them. They’ll stick their heads right in!” Besides being pretty to look at, the birds serve a purpose at Hitt's farms. "They walk the garden all the time, looking for insects. They’ve never touched the vegetables, not even a tomato, but they sure love them beetles!” he noted. They also provide the best alarm system on the market. Neither man nor beast can approach the Hitt’s house after dark without setting the cocks to hollering. It’s a hunting cry. "It's between a...I don’t know. I can’t describe it,” said Hitt, schrugging his shoulders. “Their call sounds something like a cat or like a baby,” Betty added. “They holler * hel 111' — that's what it sounds like to me,” chuckled Hitt. Whatever the noise, it’s loud and it's bloodcurdling, a call that frightens away would-be-robbers as well as foxes intent on raiding the hen house and at the same time, alerts the Hitts that something or someone strange is prowling around. Birds of different feathers all flock together in the Amissville barnyard. Turkey gobblers, chickens, roosters, geese and pigeons share the yard and shed with the pea fowl. But the brilliant cocks are boss. “They’re mean with the other fowls. When the peacocks come up to the feed, the rest of them take off,” Hitt reported. ;ame pay service Eye Exam & Contact Lenses Arranged Miller Opticians 702 S.

Main St. Front Royal 636-2020 Teenage Admirer “They’re just something pretty to have around,” said John McKay who’s had his birds for seven years. The teenager, a sophomore at Rappahannock County High School, has care of. the family’s chickens on his list of farm chores. The brilliant plummage of his three peacocks makes trips to the chicken coop just a little bit brighter. But like Richard Hitt. John sees the fowls as more than just another pretty bunch of feathers. "They make great watch dogs. They yell everyytime they hear something strange.” His cocks are kept penned at night and are a little bit tamer than Hitt's birds. They don’t come leaping into his arms when John calls but he has relatively little problem catching them and like the tigers in India, he nabs them by grabbing hold of the tail and pulling. McKay's cocks wouldn’t strut for a strange visitor but ihey frequently pul on a show for their coop mates. ‘‘They’ll strut for the chickens and anything else that's around," John said. "When their fans open up, they rattle their feathers and make this roaring noise. It’s really neat." When out of the coop during the day, McKay’s peacocks hang around the house, perching in a tree in the front yard or lining up on the roof like so many irridescent sentries. “They’re incredible,' John reported. “Even during the windiest storms, they hang right up there. I've never seen them blow out of a tree." His birds, like Hitt’s, are top notch at pest control but the McKay flock eat the vegetables right along with the bugs. According to John, lettuce is their particular favorite. Without any hens around, his cocks are non-aggressive, with each other at least. "We've had a problem with the roosters. Sometimes, they’ll fight the rooster and sometimes they won’t. But when they fight, they always win.” One old chicken had a special problem with his flashy cousins. "They had a tangle and we found the rooster inside the laying bin with his head in the corner, just staring,” John concluded. uh// /aw Moomi'np fi/anfo and tyfuuny anru ny*m*ntb fion 'Wr ddivsn anywhfv* in fb ■ ^.S^.

The seminar will discuss Four Great Plays by Henrik Ibsen. Ibsen has long held the official title of ‘‘father of modern drama." The four plays that will be read and discussed represent the middle and most influential period of Ibsen’s career, and establish realism as the ruling principle of modern drama. In A Doll’s House, his subject is the subjugation of the European middle-class woman, fn Ghosts his target is provincial and puritanical repressiveness. In An Enemy of the People. Ibsen pits an idealistic hero against opponents in a debate on the issue of conscience and integrity versus opportunism, rhe Wild Duck expresses Ibsen’s scorn for moralistic meddlers.

Often, the purchase of a home involves a string of purchases and sales down the road. Here is how a conflict of closing dates could happen: A buyer who has received a large deposit and a signed sales contract on his home wants to buy your home. For valid reasons of your own, you have to close the sale bv June 1st. But the buyer’s sale will not close until August 1st. In other words, there is a two month time\ag before your buyer cm produce the funds needed to buy your home. Does this mean a lost sale? No! An experienced Realtor can often arrange interim financing or what is known as a "swing loan” for the buyer. The money is advanced by the lending institution on a short term with interest computed daily. The buyer’s equity in his present home is the loan security. Properly handled with legal counsel, it could well be the solution. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M.

Audit Bureau of Circulation Thursday, April 1,1982 Letters To The Editor RCEA Index Supported To the editor: This is an open letter to the Rappahannock County School Board and all residents of Rappahannock County. Last fall the people of this state voted for a new Governor, Charles Robb. One of his campaign promises was to appropriate funds so that teachers in this state would get an average $3000 pay raise. He noted that the surrounding states have higher pay scales than Virginia and this was drawing many good teachers away from the state. Much to my surprise Governor Robb was able to get an increase in the amount of basic aid which the State gives to local school systems. When the General Assembly' voted for this increase they recommended the majority of it to be used to help give localities the ability to give their teachers a pay raise. This was not meant to be the entire pay raise the teachers should receive. The State Board of Education recommended that the local School Boards in this state give their teachers a 10 percent salary increase. Both of these items brought joy to our local school teachers who felt that we would get a substantial cost of living increase in our salaries. The Rappahannock County Education Association (RCEA) made a proposal to the board that an indexed salary scale with a 10.4 percent increase at the base be approved for the next school year. Please notice that the RCEA proposed this scale. Teachers in the state of Virginia cannot negotiate for a pay scale, they can only recommend what they feel they deserve. They also asked for a duty free lunch and planning period, a sick leave pool, and full major medical for the individual. The most important of these is probably the indexed salary scale. The present salary scale system does not provide the teacher with any incentive to return to the school system the following year. The local Board of Education simply decides what it feels was the inflation rate the year before and adds this percentage to the teachers' present salaries. This means that the teacher has no more buying power at the end of his-her career than they did at the beginning. This is a dismal future for career oriented teacher just starting out in the world. An indexed salary scale on the other hand provides that if the base keeps pace with Anniversary To the editor: While recently doing historical research at the Rappahannock County Court House on a trial case that occurred during the period 1837-1846, I realized that our County was formed by a Virginia General Assembly Act on February 8, 1833. As February 1983 is Rappahannock County’s 150th anniversary, I thought - what would be more appropriate than to celebrate the occasion, through community effort, much the same as was done for the country’s bi-centennial in 1976! Having planted the seed this spring, is there anyone in the county willing to nurture it and bring the seed to fruition? ROBERT MAHLBACHER Amissville inflation, then the index will always provide a real dollar increase in a teachers’ salary. This is a means to reward teachers who keep returning to the classroom. When first introduced this system would mean very high pay raises for teachers with many years of experience. I feel that anybody that has served many years under our present system deserves whatever they get in the way of a pay raise. Our superintendent of schools recommended an indexed salary scale with a 5 percent increase at the base. This provided an over all increase of 8.6 percent for all teachers. This comes out much lower than the RCEA proposal, but the index that the teachers truely want is included. The amount of basic aid to this county has been increased by 26 percent. This comes out to $80,652 more than the county got from the state last year. The total increase in teachers salaries called for by the superintendent is $75,007. If you will recall, earlier I said that the increase in basic aid was not meant to cover the entire cost of the teachers pay raise. This should mean that the local school district would have to provide some of the increase. This is definitely not the case as 1 have shown above. The superintendent did not propose any other increases in benefits for the teachers. The item that really bewilders me is that the overall funds from the state will increase 15.4 percent while the local request for funds is only being increased by 3.6 percent over last years request. Because the rate of inflation last year was 10.4 percent, this must mean that the superintendent’s budget is relying heavily on the increase of the state funds and not asking the people of Rappahannock County to support their fair share of the cost of educating their children. - The Rappahannock County School Board met last Friday in a special budget session where they decided that they would not give the teachers the index salary scale asked for and that the superintendent recommended. The board also said that they would only give the teachers an 8.5 percent increase in their salaries. Castleton In Crisis To the editor: The Castleton Fire Company has reached a crisis. Without community support we may not be able to continue answering calls. Our main problem is lack of personnel, not only to answer calls, but to do the myriad other jobs required to keep the company ready to serve. If the Castleton community is serious about having a Fire Dept., its people must put aside their differences and do what is required to make this a viable company. What’s required? Glad you asked. There will be a drill at 10 a.m. on Sunday, April 11, at the fire house. Any and all able-bodied volunteers are requested to show up and sign up. If we can’t get people enough, to run this outfit, we’ll have to close our doors. This is serious business. We should do it right, or not at all. STEPHEN C. HOSTETTER President, CVFD This means that once again the teachers of this county will fall behind in their buying power. It also means that many good teachers who would like to build a life in Rappahannock County will move on because of the apparant lack of care so often displayed by some members of our School Board. It is my personal desire to stay in my present teaching position for at least one more year if for no other reason than to help my fellow educators improve this school system for the children. JAMES R. DENNIS Building Trades Teacher Rappahannock County High School Reagan Defended To the editor: I read the “Letter to the Editor” written by Diana Bird several weeks ago. and was amazed at the inference she has drawn from President Reagan’s economic programs. In a recent editorial, the Richmond News Leader provided some facts that should set the record straight. DEFENSE SPENDING. Under Kennedy, defense spending consumed 47.8 percent of the 1962 Federal budget and accounted for 9 percent of the Gross National Product. Under Reagan, defense consumes 26.2 percent of the federal budget and accounts for 5.7 percent of GNP. SOCIAL SPENDING. Under Kennedy, social spending equalled 25.1 percent of the federal budget and 5.1 percent of GNP. Under Reagan, social spending equals 53.2 percent of the federal budget and 11.6 percent of GNP. TAX CUTS. Kennedy’s 1962 tax cut reduced taxes 29 percent for the five highest federal income tax brackets. The Reagan tax cut reduces taxes 23 pier cent for the five highest brackets. I assume the above facts were checked very closely before being printed on the editorial page of the highly respected Richmond News Leader, which makes me wonder why so many would have us believe that John Kennedy was the epitome of compassion and Ronald Reagan wants to throw hungry widows and orphans onto the streets. An entirely different picture emerges when facts are compared to demagoguery. TINY CARNEY - Our Rappahannock Heritage - April .

Maintains Respect To the editor: This is a copy of a letter sent March 30 to Robert Estabrook, Superintendent of Rappahannock County Public Schools. Let it be known that the faculty has initiated this upon their own initiative: Dear Mr. Estabrook: Mr. Wingfield maintains our respect, and we wish to see him continue in his position as principal at Rappahannock County High School. We have not witnessed any evidence of poor judgment, personally or professionally, on the part of Dennis Wingfield. We suspect his judgment has not always been consistent with that of the School Board, but a vast majority of teachers and community members have also been at odds with the School Board at some point in time. Your recommendation that Mr. Wingfield not be rehired implies that disagreemeftt can be used as a basis for administrative dismissal. This action puts everyone on guard and dampens both morale and open discussion. A number of our high school teachers have chosen to stay in the Rappahannock system simply because of Mr. Wingfield’s stabilizing influence and unyielding support. He maintains an open line of communication with each and every one of us, understanding our concerns, needs and desires. He delivers constructive criticism when and where needed in a helpful and friendly manner. On the issue of discipline, all of the teachers in Rappahannock County High have received active and helpful assistance whenever needed. He has tried to handle our discipline problems both fairly and rationally. Mr. Wingfield is understanding of our needs and is willing to help out in our classrooms when a special need arises. He has also been available to the school board office in emergency situations, upon your call. Mr. Wingfield makes every effort to praise his teachers and listen to them. His evaluations are thorough, fair and he is always prompt in making time available to discuss them with us. If effectiveness can be judged by academic progress, it should be noted that standardized test scores have steadily risen over recent years and Rappahannock County High School students have consistently scored higher than those in surrounding counties on minimum competency tests. Under the direction of Mr. Wingfield’s academic guidance, the teachers have been encouraged to strive for a higher standard of instruction. Included in the 1980 Report of the Virginia State Department of Education Visiting Committee were the following commendations: “Th6 rapport that exists between the professional staff and students;. . . The excellent rapport between the school administration and faculty; . . . the experience and background of the school administration.” The Rappahannock County High School faculty is appalled by this recent turn of events concerning our principal. It is a shame that you do not understand the depth of feeling that exists, nor do you sense the seriousness with which we view this matter; our efforts to air our concerns to you, face to face, have been in vain.

Few Comments At Sewer Hearing (Continued from Page 1) the Health Department and SWCB, was rejected as too expensive for residents of the village. Alternatives Examined In examining alternatives to reduce cost, the engineering firm looked at innovative designs, including windmill power to supply electricity, sand mounds and a community system, Demer said. A septic tank effluent pump (STEP) system was finally selected as the most feasible. The proposed system uses lines put in like water lines to carry liquid wastes from water-tight septic tanks to a treatment plant, Demer explained. Initially, the design called for treatment in a sand mound but since the mound would be located in flood plain, the Health Department and SWCB found it unacceptable since they felt it could be inoperable as much as 20 percent of the time, he said. In response, the engineers substituted a more expensive package treatment plant which could be totally protected against flooding, Demer added. But with the STEP system and package plant, the engineer continued, monthly user fees were still considered too high for Sperryville residents to afford. “The alternative was to seek additional grant funds,” Demer said, noting that the Rappahannock supervisors have authorized the county’s water and Sewer Authority to proceed with an application for an economic and community development block grant. With just the $1.4 million from EPA that has been allocated for the project in FY 1983, monthly user fees will run around $35, he noted. From the block grant, $700,000 is available per project. To bring monthly bills down to the $20 range, $260,000 must be obtained through the block grants; for a $15 range, $354,000 and for a $10 range. $440,000, according to Demer. New septic tanks for the STEP system will have to be installed at all residences and businesses to ensure against water infiltration, the engineer said. A onehorsepower motor in the tank will pump the liquid (at an estimated electrical cost of 30 cents per month) through small diameter lines laid just below the frost line, he reported. According to Demer, there will be little odor associated with the treatment plant, “nothing more than with any well run sewage treatment facility.” Solids Treated Elsewhere The engineering firm recommends that the WSA purchase a truck to pump out solids from the septic tanks on a three to five year cycle to prevent lines from becoming clogged. The engineers do not recommend using the package treatment plant to process this septage, Demer added, proposing instead that an estimated 65 truck loads per year be taken either to Remington or Culpeper on a cost basis for treatment. Edward Woodward asked how extensive the odor from the plant will be. The treatment facility will be downwind from most of the Sperryville community, Demer replied. "If the plant is run properly, you shouldn't have an odor problem...I don’t know exactly how far the odor will carry. It depends on atmospheric conditions." Asked for the life expectancy of the STEP pump, the engineer replied that the WSA, not the homeowner, will be responsible for maintenance and replacement of pumps. “Can this system work in a flood plain?" asked Lester Deal. Demer answered that the septic tanks are completely sealed and water tight. Collection lines won’t require manholes and so will also be totally sealed off from inflow of ground water. “It won't make any difference it it’s in a flood plain." he added. Bill Loomis asked if Buchart-Horn were the only engineers consulted on the project. WSA secretary Bob Dennis, chairman for the hearing, noted that several different firms worked on the project prior to BuchartHorn. His firm also worked closely with engineers from the Health Department and SWCB evaluating alternative designs, Demer added. Martin Woodward asked why the STEP system is so much cheaper than other alternatives. SI 2-Si 4 Per Foot To lay conventional gravity flow lines require deeper cuts and larger pipes while STEP pressure lines can be laid at much less depth without regard for topography, according to Demer. He noted that eight-inch gravity lines with manholes cost approximately $45 per foot compared to $12-$ 14 per foot for four-inch pressure lines. "Is there another community in the United States using a similar system?” Fred Schaefer inquired. A comparable system is currently under construction in Grottos, Virginia, and several small communities in California are currently using the same method, Demer responded. The technology isn't new but has only become popular recently due to the rising costs of sewer construction, he added. Gainesville-Haymarket is currently installing a sewer treatment facility utilizing similar technology with small diameter lines, Wilson noted. Enough Water Stressing that Sperryville has a water supply problem with its shallow water table. Deal asked how a sewer treatment plant could be operated without adequate water. He said that in drilling wells in the area, water is struck at about 50 feet. “But you can go down 2,000 feet and not find anything beyond that...Most of the village residents are now drinking river water.” Water quality problems in Sperryville are the direct result of pit privies, discharge of raw sewage into the Thornton and malfunctioning septic tanks, according to Dennis. Sewage infiltration into wells is the cause of high fecal coliform counts found by Health Department testing, he said. “1 was getting my water from a well about a half mile beyond the village of Sperryville,” countered Deal, whose sandwich shop was closed by the Health Department some years ago due to contaminated water. As to water needed for operation of the proposed sewage disposal system, Demer noted that the onlywater going in will be water that now goes into septic tanks and drainfields. When the system is built, Dennis added, it is expected to clean up the ground water now contaminated by fecal coliform. "The evidence is pretty good from around the state," he said, that when a septic system is installed in a community with Sperryville's pollution problem, contamination levels drop. Loomis asked for information on the increment of animal fecal matter seeping into Sperryville's ground water. Excrement from livestock and horses generally does not create a health problem as regards water quality, according to Dr. Einarson. Animal wastes don't contain human pathogens, he added. Woodward stated that he is in favor of the proposed sewer project if it results in clean-up of the river and the community’s wells "and if it can be had at a price the people can afford to pay for." He added that he's also concerned about trading a pollution problem for an odor problem. Good Neighbor The WSA doesn't want to build a treatment plant that will become an odor problem, according to Dennis. "A good, modern, sewage treatment facility doesn't create an odor problem...We can't make any promises but we will try to run a plant that will be a goodneighbor and not a bad neighbor." Deal said he is also definitely in favor of the proposed sewer project. "But 1 hate to see a lot of money spent for something that might not work." Dennis invited Deal and anyone else with doubts regarding the system to follow along with the WSA on the detailed engineering that the next step called for in the project approval process. "There’s no question that the system will work. It will work,” Demer assured the audience. Delays that have plagued the project are the result of economic considerations, not technical problems, he said. "I'm in favor (of the proposed treatment facility) but only to the extent that it's affordable...and that it will work,” stated Fred Schaefer, adding that monthly user fees must be in the $7-510 range. “We’re certainly aware of the economic considerations. We have to get some extra help,” Dennis responded, expressing that the WSA will be able to keep monthly bills in that range with additional funds from the block grant program. With no further comments from the audience, the hearing was closed. WSA members then met informally with John Capelle, executive director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission, to begin work on the block grant application. The record for the hearing will remain open for an additional 30 days. Anyone with further questions may address them in writing to the WSA. Demer indicated that his firm will reply to all inquiries.

VA budget this year,” buntin noted, pointing that out that in many categories, his department’s expenditures are running well below allocations. “I know we’ve saved at least $1,000 in salaries,” he added. Unexpended funds from the sheriff department budget plus reimbursement for police travel from the state should cover a substantial portion of $21,000 needed for the new cars, according to Buntin.

Rt. 211 West of Spertyville departmental budget requests are in before making a decision on the cars. Buntin noted, however, that the contract from the State Division of Purchasing at $7,031 per car expires April 1. “That’s the cheapest price I’ve heard of in a long time,” he said. "They’re almost begging you to take them now,” responded Baldwin, adding that prices may come down even further as the result of the slump in new car sales. “I’d like to see one car replaced,’.’ Latham noted. Baldwin agreed that the department needed one new car to use for long trips. “But with the economy being what it is today and everybody else driving older cars...we owe it to the taxpayers to tighten our belts.” Farmers, merchants and other county business people are making less money and would be hurt even further by an increase in taxes, he said. “I’m hoping things will get better next year,” Baldwin said, adding that the county may be in better shape financially to buy three cars next year than one this year. Although Buntin suggested that the supervisors approve purchase of at least two new cars, the vote was unanimous to include funds for only one in the proposed 1982-83 budget. Better Luck The sheriff had better luck in having his requests met at the State Compensation Board's meeting last Thursday in Warrenton. Buntin reported that the board, which pays salaries for law enforcement personnel and specifies the number per locality which it will fund, indicated approval for at least one of the two new deputy positions he requested. The compensation board, however, will probably cut ofT funding for the department’s two part-time deputies if two new full-time positions are awarded, according to the sheriff. "I told them I’d be satisfied with one more deputy if I could keep our two part-time deputies.” The board also okayed a full-time secretary for the sheriffs office to replace the current part-time position and approved three dispatchers to man a county communications system, Buntin said. “But if the jail reopens, they will be joint Lawn-Boy Supreme1 mower that can work like 5.

Fauquier Overcrowded The question of where the county will keep its prisoners arose last week when Fauquier sheriff Luther Cox announced that as of March 31, Rappahannock prisoners can not be housed in the Fauquier jail. “We've been keeping them nere for years and Rappahannock County has done nothing to get its own jail,” Cox said in a telephone interview Tuesday morning. T’n pointed out that Fauquier 1 ’ capacity of 44 and has been running eight or nine prisoners over that limit for some time now. Cox defended the deadline he announced to the Rappahannock supervisors in a letter received last Thursday. “It's not short notice. We’re just full up.” Asked if he would consider extending the March 31 limit on accepting prisoners from Rappahannock, Cox countered "Where am I going to put them?...I’d be happy to help Rappahannock if we could but we just don't have the room.” He maintained that the county has "a good jail...It wouldn’t take long to open that up.” According to Cox, the reason that the county's facility—now just used for 48 hour lock-up only—doesn’t meet Department of Correction standards is that the facility isn’t manned. Inspection Set Tony Bottley, regional manager of the Department of Corrections, verified in a telephone conversation on Tuesday that he has an appointment to inspect the Rappahannock jail on April 13 with an architect from the Department. “We want to look at the possibility of opening your lock-up as a jail... I don't think it needs much done except to see that someone is there.” Juvenile prisoners must be checked every half hour under state regulations, accordin to Bottley. “But we don’t anticipate this being used much for juveniles,” he noted. For adult prisoners, regulations call for “frequent observations,” he said, without specifying minimum standards on often how often those observations must occur. In the visit on April 13, Bottley said he will evaluate the county’s facilities from the standpoint of whether the current lock-up "is a humane place to incarcerate people” while the architect will determine if it provides "a sufficient degree of security for the community.” The deadline on prisoner acceptance from Fauquier is the result of overcrowding that has plagued state and local penal institutions for the past several years, according to Bottley. “Fauquier is just getting up to where the rest of the state is," he said, reporting that the Fairfax jail currently has a capacity of 198 and a prisoner population of 400 while Prince William is holding 100 prisoners in a jail designed for 30. He attributed overcrowded conditions in local jails to two factors: —lack of bed space in state institutions forcing prisoners sentenced to the penitentiary to be held in local facilities, —crowded court dockets resulting in trial delays, $2.4 Million Budget (Continued from Page 1) 11.3 percent. . . It’s a lost cause, Mrs. Reeve!” If the board should decide that it had okayed the 8.5 percent plus experience step for teachers, he continued. “I will oppose this entire budget,” both by vote at the school board meeting and at the court house before the supervisors. Randall Updike interjected that he thought an increase in salary for each year’s experience was built into the teachers’ pay scale. In awarding an 8.5 percent cost of living raise to all employees, ‘‘do you automatically drop it (the experience increment)?” he asked. Eastham repeated that no one on the board would approve the experience step plus 8.5 percent to give teachers an 11.3 jump in pay. As voices raised around the table. Nelson Lane quickly put in a motion for approval of the instructional category. Apparently abstaining, Reeve and Updike did not voice a vote and the motion carried unanimously. Teachers’ salaries this year total $871,205. The proposed budget carries $945,257 for teachers’ pay, an increase of 8.5 percent. The total figure for the proposed budget, $2,401,017 excluding federally funded Title I programs, reflects a 12 percent increase over what the board requested last year. The supervisors, however, cut $89,100 from the proposal, leaving school appropriations at $2,049,701 for the current year. The board's request for 1982-83 represents an approximate 16 percent increase over that amount. Supervisors Request A significant portion of the increase has been reportedly asked for by supervisors. At the budget work session last Friday, Eastham told the school board that the supervisors wanted an appropriation for a new combination bus garage and central office included in 1982-83 appropriations. (Hie board had initially proposed to construct the facility with unexpended funds from the current budget supplemented with money awarded in the condemnation suit with the highway department for the current bus shop site.)

STATE INSPECTION No. 2464 the proposed budget under capital outlay for new buildings and additions. Chairman Beverly Massie noted that without the addition of the $90,000 requested by the supervisors, local funds called for in the proposed budget would represent a 3.6 percent increase over what the board asked for last year. The $90,000 for new construction brings the local share up to $1,242,017, an increase of 12 percent over last year’s request. On the revenue side of the picture for next year, superintendent Robert Estabrook projects that Rappahannock will receive $103,352 in state funds, 15.4 percent more than in the current year. Federal funds are estimated to go up a slim .2 percent while sales and wine tax revenues should climb 7.8 percent, according to the superintendent, giving the county a total jump of 12.2 percent in outside funds. Following budget approval, the board retired into closed door session at 8:30 p.m. to discuss personnel and matters involving privacy of individuals unrelated to public business. On return to open meeting after 10 p.m., Massie announced that no action had been taken. Mountain lions seem to have vanished from the eastern United States, except for a small group in the swamps of the Florida Everglades. One problem is that the big cats need a large territory for hunting. A mountain lion may cover 30 miles in a hunting trip, points out National Geographic World magazine. leaving local jials with responsibility for housing prisoners awaiting trail. In many cases, the population awaiting trial by itself exceeds jail capacity, Bottley noted. He acknowledged, however, that even if trials are speeded up, it may only result in a charge of classification for prisoners since persons convicted of misdemeaners and sentenced to 12 months or less serve time in local facilities. Bottley sees the situation as improving at least somewhat in the near future with additional bed space available in the state system when the Brunswick facility opens July 1 and from a second penitentiary scheduled to open by the end of the year. The regional manager for the Department of Corrections described Rappahannock’s sheriff W. A. Buntin as an “outstanding individual” and expressed confidence that he will find space for county prisoners somewhere if Fauquier sticks with its March 31 deadline. At Monday night’s supervisor meeting, however, Buntin reported that he’d checked with surrounding jurisdictions and found all have overcrowded jails that i prevent acceptance of Rappahannock prisoners. The closet jail with space is in Shenandoah County, 57 miles away, according to the sheriff. Under the Virginia Code, the board of supervisors is responsible for providing a court house, jail, clerk's office and suitable facilities for the commonwealth’s attorney. Under section 53129, the supervisors can be compelled by the circuit court through a rule of peremptory mandamus to erect and repair a jail that meets minimum standards set by the State Board of Corrections.

Panthers Drop Opener, 13-3 By GARY LKAKK Sports r.orrcHpondrnt A case of the opening game jitters plagued the Panthers on Monday as Rappahannock’s varsity baseball team lost to Manassas Park, 13-3. Coach Glen Davis described the contest as “a learning experience." noting ■ that the Panthers had defensive problems with their play marred by errors. In the only bright spot of an otherwise dismal afternoon, Pops Aylor smacked a home run while Wayne Atkins was three for three in the batter’s box. Atkins was also credited with three stolen bases as he worked his way around the infield to home plate. Late winter weather delayed the start of outside practice for the team.

With a roster as long as many race events, coach Ann Spieker directed the Lady Panthers to a first place finish in the Skyline District, first place in the regionals and second place in state finals in 1978. The RCHS girls track team has compiled records almost as impressive in the years since. And each season, it has seemed as if half the females in the school were out for track. For 1982, coach Spieker sees the trend in participation reversed but still expects strong performances in Skyline District competition. “The girls who came out for the team are very talented and show a lot of promise but depth will be our weak point.” “They’re spread really thin,” agreed Bill Child. A runner in both high school and college and former track coach at Randolph Macon Academy, Child is officially the new boys track coach for RCHS. Unofficially, he’s concentrating on middle and long distance runners, 440 yards up to two miles, both boys and girls, while Spieker focuses on the remaining events. “We have a lot of talent on the girls team but they can’t be everywhere. For instance, there’s Kim Williams. She can really do everything and do it well but she can only enter three events,” Child said. Williams is one of four top notch sprinters who along with 1981’s Most Valuable Runner recipient Cristol Proter, Raynetta Gheen and Kathryn Davis will make the Lady Panthers hard to beat in the shorter relay and individual events. Porter, Gheen and Davis are marking off good distances in the long jump as well while Spieker expects Williams to advance again to state finals in the hurdle races. Kelly Bristol and Tessee Benkahla will join experienced runners Rhonda Jenkins, Ann Oliver and Ann Tupper in the grueling middle and long distance competition. Marie Davis has hit the 100 foot mark already in practice, turning in the type of performance that took her to the state competition for discus last year. Terry Williams is also throwing the discus at ranges which should win her a palce in district meets, according to Spieker. Returning letterman Mary Jordan is again heaving the shot put, joined in this event by Melissa Turner and freshman Donna Williams. 32 Man Roster A total of 32 boys are out for track this year, giving the team its greatest depth ever. "We won’t lose points in meets for lack of athletes to compete,” Spieker noted. Sophomore Scott Keithley who finished third in the regionals and sixth in the state in cross country this past fall will be running in the one and two mile events along with Larry Sisk and Ronnie Atkins, his teammates from cross country. Eugene Grigsby, a returning letterman who advanced to state competition last year, is RCHS’s best prospect in spring races. Competing with him are junior Edward Summers and — Rappahannock New* Photo/D. Hutchinson AND ONE LONG STEP FOR THE PANTHERS—Cristol Porter stretches out as she tries to reach the end of the sand pit in RCHS track practice this week. Portor, a junior, will compete in the long jump and sprint events for the 1982 Panthers. freshman Jeff Porter. For the first time this year, Panther banketball stars Carl Frye and Glenri Fletcher will try to carry over their speed on the court to the track. Junior Tim Williams, a returning letterman, will be a threat at discus and shot put, events for which he holds school records. Returning letterman Doyle Dunn is the big jumper on the boys track team and Speiker expects the junior to shine in high jump, long jump, triple jump and pole • vault. Last year, Dunn advanced to state competition in the high jump. Harrison Hughes, John Shanahan and Gary Foster, all returning lettermen, will lead RCHS’s hurdle contingent. Last year, the high school hosted its first home meet on the track donated by the Panther Athletic League. This year, there are three home games scheduled (April 7, 21 and 26, all at 3:45) and both coaches have extended an invitation to the community to come out and cheer the Panthers on to victory.

DeLashmutt predicts more than 600 runners for the 10Mile race and close to the same number in the 2-Mile event. The entry fee is $5 for either race and a maximum of $20 per family.

The clinic will run at Sunnybrook on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. In order to accommodate all the dogs and handlers who wish to participate, the clinic will also be held on Thursday, April 1, at Yaeger Gum’s farm on Route 15 north of Leesburg, Va. The clinic will be instructed again by Jack Knox, a Scotsman who now hails from Montello, Wisconsin where he runs a large sheep farm. His knowledge of training Border Collies is so extensive that some of the handlers are returning with their second dogs. Knox will have one or two of his own trained dogs with him for demonstrations and to help young, overly enthusiastic novices control the sheep. Handlers will be coming from Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Maryland as well as Virginia. Casual spectators for an hour or two are not charged admission but are expected to bring their own food and chairs. All-day terested spectators will be charged $5.00. The clinic will run rain or shine from nine to five each day. In case of severely inclement weather, use of a nearby indoor arena has been arranged. For information, call Mrs. Bryan Conrad at 703-837-1064 or Mrs. Candace Terry at 703-3384254, on clinic days before 8:00 a.m. F FOOT FACTS Dr. Bruce Vogel Podiatrist Foot Specialist THE FOOT IS A MIRROR OF YOUR GENERAL HEALTH Many times problems that are present in the body will manifest themselves first in the foot.

No one really knows the origin of April Fools’ day as celebrated in this country. It probably began as a festival of spring and then somehow the custom of fooling people on this day developed. One possible derivation is from an ancient Roman feast in honor of Ceres, who searched for her daughter, Proserpine, in what was considered a fool’s mission. Proserpine had been carried off by Pluto, King of the Underworld, according to the Roman legend. Perhaps there’s just something about spring that makes people feel silly. In India there is a festival at the end of March called Huli. People are sent on foolish, often futile, errands and men and women, as well as children, throw water on one another. In France (as in many countries) New Years was celebrated at the spring equinox. In the sixteenth century, the calendar was revised and New Year's established on its present date. Rural Frenchmen who were behind the times and had not received the news of the revision were “April fools”. Today, French FAUQUIER LIVESTOCK EXCHANGE 1NCOWPQWATID REGULAR SALES Every Tues.

Cannon (703) 937-4900 Janies M. Cannon (703) 937-4700 Moffett Lauded (Continued from Page 1) DeBergh related, chuckling. Horses were Moffett’s first love, he continued. During the depression years, DeBergh's people were farmers. “We flat out didn’t have the money for riding horses. We were lucky to have work horses.” But Billy’s father, Mr. Frank, then commonwealth’s attorney, had two mounts that DeBergh helped exercise. The friends decided one day to ride to school and “put on a little show for the girls," demonstrating their horsemanship with a charge by the buses while they were being loaded. “Everything was going fine,” DeBergh recalled. The two, riding double and bareback, had the horse going at a brisk gallop along the buses. "Then something scared the horse and it came to a screeching halt and tossed us right on the ground. Even that wouldn't have been so bad if the horse had kept going but it kept stepping on us instead! We didn’t hear any cheers from the girls on the bus but we sure heard a lot of laughter!" Renowned Rider Despite that spill and countless others, Billy Moffett, who helped reestablish the Rappahannock Hunt after World War II, was known far and wide as a bold and fearless rider, according to his old friend. DeBergh remembered riding after the hounds as they were going full cry behind a fox and coming to a stone fence topped by rails. Daunted by the height of the obstacle and its uphill approach littered with rocks and brush, the rest of the field went off looking for an easier way across but not Billy Moffett. He took his old gray mare back from the fence a good distance and charged. The horse cleared the jump, catching only the top with her rear legs. “She mashed the top rail down a little—thank goodness! I was hoping she would knock half the fence off,” said DeBergh who had to follow his friend over or never hear the end of it. “I came back later with a tape measure and it was five feet, three inches where I jumped it. I pushed the rail back up like it was when Billy took it and it measured almost six feet. It was a tremendous fence under any conditions.” DeBergh closed with an anecdote aboJt the pair from one night when they returned home to # Washington after staying late to enjoy the Fletchers’ legendary posthunt hospitality. Saying goodnight at the door to the Moffett house, DeBergh told his friend that he hoped he didn’t get into trouble for staying out too late. His back to the door, Billy replied, “Never fear. I’m Caesar in my house!” He was facing the wTong way to see that his wife Jean had opened the door and was standing just behind him. His wife tapped him on the hunting cap and countered, “Well, come on in, Caesar!” DeBergh reported, sending a round of laughter across the courtroom. "When Billy Moffett was your friend, you had a friend for life,” added the judge’s boyhood pal, closing on a more serious note. Former circuit court Judge Rayner V. Snead who presided over Friday’s ceremonies from the bench, recalled Moffett’s quick and ready wit. He remember^ DeBergh, Moffett and an ola bird dog named Lemon returning from a quailhunting expedition with eight birds, four bagged by each man. “Billy looked back and saw Lemon with these feathers around his mouth. He’d devoured four of the quail. Billy turned around to Jack and announced, ‘Lemon has eaten your four birds’!” recalled Snead, laughing along with the audience. “It was a little while later before Jack asked, ‘How did you know they were my birds?" Before calling up Judge Moffett’s two granddaughters to unveil the portrait, Snead echoed DeBergh’s sentiments: “If you were Billy’s friend, you just couldn’t do anything wrong.” He recalled the love that the former judge and lifelong resident of Rappahannock had felt for his family. “I somehow feel that Billy’s watching us today and that he’s so very proud to see his family here.” Refunders Meet A convention of cents-off coupon clippers will be held May 21-22 at the Chamberlin Hotel, Hampton. Refunders will exchange forms, qualifiers and cashoffs, and store and company representatives will discuss their views of refunding.

Wakefield Students Tour Greece Thirty students of Wakefield School in Huntly, accompanied by four adult chaperones, departed on Monday, March 29, for a sixteen day trip to Greece and Crete. Flying British Airways, the group stopped-over in London for a full day of sightseeing before proceeding on to Athens. Aftr spending three days in Athens, the group will take the boat cruise to Crete, with stops at the islands of Delos, Paros, and Naxos. The main focus of the four day visit to Crete is Minoan Civilization, which was thriving as early as 2000 B.C. At the Heraklion Museum and at the site of Knossos, the students will view the assembled treasures of the Minoan culture. The tour of Knossos will be followed by excursions to the palace of Phaestos, the Graeco-Roman city of Gortys, the famous beach of Matala, and the plateau of Lassithy, with its thousands of white windmills. Upon returning to the Greek mainland, the group will begin what is called the Classical Tour, which includes visits to the ruins of Ancient Corinth, Mycenae, Epidaurus, Nauplia, Sparta, Olympia, and Delphi. According to Mrs. Pamela Lynn, the Wakefield teacher who is the tour leader, the highlight of the trip for the —Rappahannock Nawa Photo/Sarah Latham THE SUBJECT WAS STORMS as David Hoadley (right front! gave a presentation to the Wednesday, March 24 meeting of the Lipn’s Club.

Some New Beans To Plant By THERESA REYNOLDS Ra|i|»Kannork %t*w* Staff 1 rilrr Last week we described some of the lesser-known garden vegetables with tips on how to grow them and recipes for their use. Here are some unusual beans for this week: Broad Beans Broad Beans are grown in Europe and Great Britain and were more widely cultivated in this country years ago. The beans are large, flat and meaty and have a shape like lima beans but a different flavor. Grow them like any long-podded bean, sowing the seed after danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed up a bit. h irvest regularly. To Prepare Broad Beans Shell, boil 8 to 10 minutes; drain. DU1 Saute Toss cooked, peeled mature beans or raw, unpeeled younger beans in a hot skillet with unsalted butter and lemon juice; sprinkle with chopped, fresh dill. Good with meat. Puree Puree cooked, peeled mature beans. Reheat with cream and crumbled dried savory; salt to taste. Broad Bean and Mushroom Salad Mix young raw beans with sliced raw mushrooms, chopped fried bacon, and chopped fresh parsley. Dress with vinegar, oil, garlic and mustard. Black Turtle Beans Black Turtle Beans are used in soup and are very popular in Cuban and Spanish cooking. Grow them like any other dry bush bean, sowing the seeds a little farther apart as the bushes grow quite large. Before the pods appear, the bush bears light purple flowers which are very attractive. But do not pick! The flowers are essential to the productivity of the plant. Black turtle beans are susceptible to bean rust so give them room and light to ensure that the leaves dry out. Harvest when the full pods have dried enough to store after shelling. To prepare Turtle Beans: Wash and soak beans. Discard any that rise to the top or look moldy. Soak overnight. Bring to a boil the next day and cook until tender. Remember not to add salt until the beans are tender - it may prevent the beans from softening. Then proceed with your recipe. Black Bean Soup Prepare as above, adding enough liquid to two cups black beans to make 10 cups and cooking with a turkey carcass, a ham bone, or a piece of salt pork until tender (about 2‘/j-3 hours). Add and simmer, covered, 30 minutes longer until tender: Vi cup chopped onions, 1 cup chopped celery with leaves, 'A cup chopped carrots, 1 clove garlic, 1 bay leaf, 1 teaspoon sugar, a dash of cayenne or a pod of red pepper, and a pinch of thyme. Remove bones or meat. Strain, chill, remove fat. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter, stir in 2 tablespoons of flour, blend, and add a little of the soup mixture. Bring to a simmer while reheating the rest of the soup. Pour the butter-flour-soup mixture into the larger pot. Add a little sherry, if desired, and garnish with 2 teaspoons shredded country ham for each bowl of soup, thin slices of lemon and hard-cooked eggsEdible Soybeans Although all soybeans are edible, some are "more edible" than others. They are grown like any other bean and require a long growing season. But they are hard to shell. Immerse them in boiling water for ten minutes to make shelling easier. For an informal family meal, diners can shell their own beans as they eat them. Soybeans and Mushrooms Wash, slice and saute lA pound of mushrooms. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet. add 2 tablespoons of flour and cook these ingredients until they are well blended. Stir in Vi cup chicken stock, Vi cup cream, salt and pepper. Add the mushrooms and 2 cups of cooked soybeans. Season with fresh basil. counm noht/ ROBERT METCALFE GENERAL CONTRACTOR New Homes Cabins Additions Remodeling Box 147 Flint Hill, Va. 703»675»3897 Va.

Pointing out that Wakefield students are required to study no only the history of the Ancient Greeks, but also their language, literature, philosophy, and art, Mrs. Lynn believes that that Parthenon is the very symbol of the Gassical Civilization which the school has tried so hard to have the students understand and appreciate. The 1982 trip to Greece is the seventh foreign trip for students sponsored by Wakefield School.
