Rappahannock News, April 15, 1982

Vf v; ingfield Demoted To Classroom By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New** Staff V riter A crowd of about 200 parents. teachers and students packed the elementary school library and spilled out into the hall at Tuesday’s school board meeting, the overwhelming majority there in support of embattled high school principal Dennis Wingfield. But the backing from the public wasn’t enough to dissuade school board members who voted unanimously on returning to open session at 12:40 a.m. to reassign the 16-year veteran as a classroom teacher. Deputy Mark Wittl attended the ' meeting in response to a request for police presence made by the board Tuesday afternoon to Rappahannock sheriff W. A. Buntin. Despite the emotion focused on Wingfield’s reappointment, however, commei.t was orderly and in accordance with rules set out by board chairman Beverly Massie. Roland Fontaine, spokesman for concerned parents in Jackson District, read reasons behind Robert Estabrook’s recommendation that Wingfield not be reappointed which were set out in a March 26 letter to the RCHS principal. The superintendent maintained: (1) Wingfield has demonstrated that he does not have confidence in the school board, (2) his attitude and actions do not reflect the team approach to working with the board and administration that the superintendent seeks, (3) Wingfield has not shown good judgement in keeping the superintendent informed in a timely manner on matters cf concern, (4) he has shown a lack of initiative and flexibility and poor professional judgement, (5) he has not adequately supervised the high school staff. Former Supts. Support Fontaine also read a letter from former Rappahannock superintendent O. A. Norton who worked with Wingfield during 11 of his 16 years as RCHS principal. During that time period, Norton stated, Wingfield had to deal with increased enrollment, complete integration of the high school, changing social values and a substantial increase in the number of programs mandated by both state and federal government. In doing so, the former superintendent said, Wingfield consistently exercised sound professional judgement and leadership. Fruit Crop Undamaged Rappahannock's fruit trees came through last week’s freezing temperatures with little or no effect on the 1982 apple and peach crop, according to county extension agent Rap Owings. A feeeze at the end of March slowed the budding of apple trees and so buds were still tight and protected against the cold when an unseasonably late freeze struck again on April 6, according to Owings. “The apple crop here is in good shape and we still have pretty good prospects for the peach crop.-' he said, adding, F however, that peach trees had sustained some damage. Owings emphasized that his assessment was accurate only as of April 8. “We have a long time to go between now and the last frost date. Things could turn right around." Willows and pine trees tumbled down in last week’s 50 mph plus winds but the storm did only minor damage to orchards. In older orchards. a few big top-heavy trees went over, Owings said, “but the young, vigorous trees survived very well." He also established and maintained an excellent relationship with the high school staff, according to Norton. In a second letter read by Fontaine, former superintendent William Bloomer described Wingfield as fair, firm, friendly and honest, a man well respected by students and faculty alike and an administrator who ran the high school in accordance with school board regulations. A petition signed by 15 elementary school teachers and submitted by Robin Dexter expressed concern over the manner in which Wingfield received notice that he wouldn’t be rehired. Ongoing feedback in the evaluation process and response by the individual under evaluation is essential, the petition signers maintained, noting that Wingfield had received no prior communication from the superintendent expressing dissatisfaction with the principal's performance. A second petition from 15 elementary teachers, all members of the Rappahannock County Education Association, echoed the same sentiments. The signers maintained teachers and administrators should be given a fair, continual evaluation and a voice in the evaluation process. Wingfield’s leadership, they said, has “fostered academic improvement" at the high school. “A fair appraisal is the very least such a person deserves,” the signers stated. Marie Davis presented a third petition in favor of Wingfield’s reappointment signed by approximately 200 parents, most of them residents of the Washington, Woodville and Boston areas. All but a few of the hundreds of hands in the library went up when Robert Fox asked for a showing from those in favor of Wingfield’s continuing at his post. Mary Beth Rustic reported that she enrolled two children (Continued on Page 3) —Rappahannock News Pholn/P. Hutchinson $150,000 JOB?—According to officials from the Department of Corrections, Rappahannock’s 24 hour lock-up needs major renovation in order to meet minimum jail standards. Part of the necessary work includes removing the shower heads at the rear of four cell block corridors and replacing them with exits through to the residence section of the building. As an alternative, officials have recommended that the county build a new 12-bed facility. > Latham Home Burglarized The Rappahannock sheriffs department is investigating a breaking and entering and grand larceny which took place at the home of Mrs. Sarah Latham in Amissville. The offenses occurred on Thursday, April 8, between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Persons who saw anyone at the Latham residence during those hours or with any additional information on the robbery are requested to call the sheriff’s office. A reward has been offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the case. Stickers Now On Sale The Rappahannock County tags are now on sale and must be displayed by midnight April 30, 1982. Sheriff W. A. Buntin advises residents to purchase their tags early, avoid the last miniute rush and be sure to display the sticker. He added that there is just as much violation in not displaying the sticker as there is in not having purchased one. Be sure to scrape the old sticker off before applying the new one for there is a law governing windshield stickers, he added. New Facility Recommended Jail Estimate Is $150,000 By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Vws Staff V rit**r “It would be possible to renovate (the Rappahannock jail) to meet minimum standards but it wouldn't be an ideal situation. The ideal situation as we see it would be to build a new 12-bed facility." That was the verdict from Anthony Bottley, manager of the Virginia Department of Corrections' 21-county northern region, after he toured the lock-up facility here on Tuesday with an architect from the Department of Corrections. Estimated cost of a new 12-bed jail is $800,000. According to architect Pete Ardreu, renovation necessary to bring Rappahannock’s facility up to minimum standards will run around $150,000. Bottley emphasized that the estimate is rough, ball park figure arrived at after very limited exposure to the facility. The condition of the jail (which has been used only for 24-hour lock-up since 1975) became a critical issue when sheriff Luther Cox announced on March 25 that Rappahannock prisoners would no longer be housed in the Fauquier jail as of the end of the month. Since expiration of the deadline, Cox has continued to accept inmates from Rappahannock on a daily, callfirst basis but sheriff W. A. Buntin indicated that he didn't expect the arrangement to go on past the Department of Corrections' inspection on Tuesday. Safety needs Most of the areas in the lock-up where renovation is required relate to safety, according to regional manager Bottley. “We need to be concerned about the inmates, about human life, but also about the county's liability. The care and custody of inmates carries liability in case anything goes wrong," he explained. The lock-up has eight double cells, two to a cell block with two cell blocks entered through a single door on each floor. Any dead end corridor must have a second exit, Bottley said. Exits could be added to the cell blocks by putting in a second door through the correctional officer’s residence. The residence would have to be converted into a multipurpose area including a day room for inmates and an area for receiving visitors upstairs with administration offices and dispatch center downstairs. Since the additional exists from the cell block will have to go through the area where show heads are now placed, a small room on the second floor of the lock-up would have to be converted into a double shower. According to Bottley, the kitchen in the residence adjoining the lock-up will need extensive renovation in order to meet criteria for food service. As an alternative, he recommended that meals for prisoners be supplied by a local restaurant. The outdoor perimeter of the residence would have to be secured with bars added to all windows. An outdoor exercise area will also have to be added in order for minimum jail standards to be met. “For health purposes, inmates need exposure to fresh air and sunshine. That will require nothing more elaborate than a fenced area.” Bottley said. Other required changes include: installation of smoke detectors, and installation of an intercom system throughout the jail to enable sick inmates to call the administrative office and correctional officers to hear what’s going on in the cells. Bottley also noted that the wiring in the residence side of the building needs to be checked. “It appears to be quite old." In addition, the structural soundness of that side of the building should be evaluated. “It’s hard to say from just walking through if there’s anything that presents a substantial concern," he added. State Funds? Amendments to the Virginia Code which take effect July 1 provide that certain funds will be made available for jail renovation. The total amount for which a locality may become eligible is not to exceed $100,000 or half the cost of the project, according to Bottley. But while Code revisions may provide for this additional source of revenue, no funds for jail renovations were included in the two-year state budget just passed by the General Assembly, Bottley noted. Chances for Rappahannock securing money for jail renovations through that source don't look good, added the Department of Correction’s official. “This is an emergency situation and efforts will be made to try to assist Rappahannock but there are no guarantees." As an alternative to renovating the lock-up or building a new facility, Bottley suggested that the county supervisors may want to authorize an additional deputy and vehicle for transporting prisoners to Shenandoah County, the closest jail with empty beds. Located in Woodstock approximately 50 miles away, that jail had eight empty beds as of last week, Bottley said. Overcrowding is a major problem in jails throughout (Continued on Page 5) —Rappahannock Newt Photo/W illiam Young MAK TNG A STRONG FINISH is local doctor Jerry Mart a followed closely by Ricky Shaw. Martin and Shaw competed in last year’s Fodderstack Classic, commencing at the packing house in Flint Hill, following the Fodderstack Road, and ending in Washington in front of the court house. This year’s race goes off Saturday at 10:00 at the same location, and entries are expected to exceed last year’s. Mystique Of Running Captured In Fodderstack What motivates someone to spend hours each week huffing, puffing and sweating up and down hills, risking shin splints and sore feet, avoiding nips from aggressive canines, dodging automobiles—all to earn a tee-shirt that proclaims "I ran the Fodderstack”? For the non-runner, the reasons are unfathomable. It’s as if the human race was divided into subspecies, those who run and those who don’t. Non-runners may not understand why runners run but the reasons must be good because each spring, as the start of Rappahannock’s 10 kilometer road race draws closer, Fodderstack hopefuls pop up like daffodills along country lanes. The race over the old stagecoach route from Flint Hill to Washington means something special to the regulars who have gone the distance since the innaugural running in 1979. For 11-year-old Matthew Owings, one of the youngest competitors, “it’s just real fun.” To Emily Vawter, whose 69 years puts her at the other end of the spectrum, it’s a wonderful way to exercise. It’s the friendliest of rivalries for Merrill Strange and for Frank Reynolds, the Fodderstack was the key to his family’s move from southwest Virginia to the town of Washington. “I have to keep running to stay ahead of my encroaching body,” joked Merrill who with her husband Phillip Strange runs 45 to 60 miles per week. She started five or six years ago in an effort to stay thin. “Instead, I gained 12 pounds so now 1 don't dare stop.”Merrill competes in the 30-39 year-old category against top contender Mary O’Meara. The two have raced against each other since the Fodderstack began and have developed a sometimes intense but always friendly rivalry. O’Meara has won the women’s division twice while Strange has won once. “I’m out to tie it up this year”, the Castleton runner promised. “Mary had suggested that we take turns every other year so I asked her how come she won it two years in a row!” Merrill laughed. Fodderstack Was First Matthew Owings is one of the youngest runners who has competed regularly in the Fodderstack. He began running for this particular race. “It sounded like a good idea so I just started doing it. I liked it and I was good at it so I’ve kept on,” the young man explained. He doesn’t train all year. Matthew begins preparing three or four months before the starter’s gun sounds in Flint Hill and then continues to practice for a few months afterwards to stay in shape for Lord Fairfax Community College’s race the only other running event he enters. The first year Matthew competed, he ran in the 18 and under category, placing fourth. Since the debut of the Fodderstack, however, aditional categories have been added to keep the competition even and for the past two years, Matthew has won the 12 and under division. He plans on running track and cross country when he reaches high school. ‘‘Running—and especially running in the Fodderstack—is fantastic. 1 don’t care if 1 win. It’s just real fun.” Emily Vawter exercises daily all year but steps up her regime to include running about a month or two before the Fodderstack. A transplanted Alexandrian who moved to the county in 1976 when she and her husband retired, she’s raced in the Fodderstack in 1979 and ’80, winning her division both years. She limits her training to just what is required to complete the distance, starting at a mile or two and working her way up to where she runs the actual course the week before the race. “I hope to be running six miles by early in the week of the race,” she said. Mrs. Vawter discounts worry that the effort might be too strenuous for a woman her age. “It’s good exercise," she maintained. “I’ve been fairly active all my life. I've always done some kind of exercise,” said the Flint Hill runner who will celebrate her 70th birthday in October. Attracted Here Frank Reynolds first entered the Fodderstack in 1980 as an out-of-county runner and then came back to take the Eva L. Smith trophy as the first county resident to finish in 1981. While not really the reason behind their move, the race was at least the key to the Reynolds family’s decision to settle in Rappahannock. Friends from Frank’s hometown of Brookneal had purchased property here. "They said come up for a visit and see this cute little town—and oh, by the way, there’s a race,” Frank recalled. It was an in vitation a serious runner couldn’t refuse. Reynolds took second place in his division and while waiting tor trophies to be awarded, his wife and the couple's two children strolled around town, admiring the tulips blooming in window boxes and flower beds. They came back in time to see Frank receive his award and to announce that they’d (Continued on Page 10) fUppahannocfc Nnn Photo/T Kwnold. GETTING READY FOR THE SPRING EVENT of the Washington Baptist Church are Diane Blevins 111 and Dorothy Clater. This annual event, held along with the F odderstack Classic race, will begin this Saturday at 10 a.m. Available at the church grounds, near the finish line in Washington will be hot lunches, baked goods, plants, and odds and ends.

The Rood Family: Living In Two Worlds By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock New* Staff ^ riter Each fall, when the grass on the Serengetti plains in Tanzania is short enough for wildlife to be observed, Jon and Hazel Rood and their daughter Josephine board a plane to London, then one to Kilimanjaro and from there on to Tanzania. A day’s trip over land takes them to their home in the Serengetti Wildlife Research Center where they spend the winter surrounded by lions, zebras, elephants and other African native animals including the main object of Jon’s study - the mongoose. Doable Life In the spring and summer, the Roods fit quietly into the pattern of life in Rappahannock. They garden at their home near Sperryville. Josephine attends high school, Jon writes up the results of his season’s research and commutes occasionally to the Conservation Center in Front Royal to use its library. They have been making the Rappahannock-Dulles Ixindon-Tanzania trip for the two years they’ve lived in the county, but their double life has gone on for more than 12 years. When it came time to pick a home base in the States instead of just visiting around during the off season for wildlife research, the Roods chose Rappahannock. “We looked in a radius around the Conservation Center that would make it possible to commute,” Hazel said. “There was just no question—we wanted to live here.” Last Thursday, the Roods shared some of their unusual experiences with their new Rappahannock neighbors at a well-attended film and talk presentation at the Rappahannock County Library. After seeing the wild beauty of the high Tanzanian plains, it’s easy to understand why the Roods keep going back. Jon received his PhD in zoology at Southhampton in Great Britain, where he methis English-born wife.

With the birth of Josephine, another helper was recruited, and there was no question but that she would also accompany Jon on his research missions. “She was extraordinarily good,” Hazel said. “She spent up to 12 hours a day in a Landrover as a baby, just watching and waiting.” Instead of blocks and rattles, Josephine had lions, tigers, zebras and elephants to look at. As a child, she once climbed up some rocks to come face-to-face with a lioness. “Well, she went one way and the lion went the other," Jon said. Man vs. Lion According to Rood, this is normal behavior for lions, who have learned to avoid men despite the superior size, strength and speed of the big cats. “Africans consider it a matter of pride not to run away from a lion,” he said. “Normally, the lion will be the first to run.” Pride or not. Rood has had occasion to run away from a lioness. “An exception is a lioness with her cubs,” he said. Rood came across a mother with her cubs when he was watching a mongoose family. This lion did charge and chased Rood to his vehicle. Rood won the race, but just barely, and the experience taught him to stay close to shelter while in the field. There are other situations where lions are a threat to man. They will roam African villages, steering clear of the huts but carrying off a man who has fallen drunk in the street. “Sometimes a pride of lions will kill a helpless man Amissville U.M.

When this occurs, all the lions in the pride must be destroyed or they will continue to stalk and kill people.” Nature on the high plain is cruel and self-serving, as it is everywhere. The lion social structure is basically a group of females with their young. The males roam the periphery, sometimes participating in the hunt. They will kill cubs at an early age if the lioness does not hide them well enough. The survival rate for a lion cub in its first year is less than 50 percent. Its chances of reaching adulthood are no more than 20 percent. They nurse for a year and at about six months they start “helping” at the kill. "They are really a nuisance,” Rood said. “They spoil hunt after hunt by charging too soon but they are allowed to participate since this is their training.” Mongoose Society Lions band together because numbers increase their chance of hunting effectively. More complicated is the structure of mongoose society, and this is the area that the Roods have been researching for 12 years. Not all mongooses are social, but those that are have a highlydeveloped society. They do not need company to forage, as their food is mostly dung beetles, found almost everywhere on the plain. The society is necessary for protection, and mongooses provide babysitters for the young whose parents must leave them to forage. The mongooses must fit into a very rigid social order, dominated completely by the “alpha” male and female, who are the breeding pair of the colony. Rood became fascinated by the mongoose society, and was able to chart the progress of the mongooses of his study area by marking them and observing their habits. He found that the less dominant mongooses (the “babysitters”) sometimes leave their civilization to try to find a situation where they stand a better chance of eventually becoming the breeding or dominant pair. Rood said that a male and female will sometimes leave together, or a lone mongoose will set out to find a lesspopulated society. How does the maverick mongoose know that the new society will be receptive? Mongooses have individual scent marking, meaning that a lonely visitor can identify exactly the make-up of the unfamiliar colony, eliminating the need for unpleasant introductions. The Roods found examples of what is called altruistic behavior among the mongoose colonies. Animals are “altruistic” when they put the good of the society above their own individual good. Rood saw a really unusual example of this type of behavior when a mongoose actually climbed a tree to try to rescue another mongoose from the talons of an eagle. He was successful. Although this type of action seems contrary to our ideas of natural behavior. Rood explains it by the principle of kin selection. “In a colony, all the mongooses would be related,” he said. “By saving a relative, the heroic mongoose in this incident also assured that his genes would be perpetuated.” The Roods find that the study of animals in society is much more complicated and interesting than the study of animals who live in solitary or small family groups. A sideline of this type of research is that other scientists who are more interested in human behavior rely on studies such as Rood’s to try to understand some of the complexities of human society. The funding for Rood's research has come about in part from the interest by the Guggenheim foundation in determining reasons behind human aggression. From Liona to Bluebirds A visit to the Roods in their Rappahannock home high above Sperryville found Jon in the process of building houses for the bluebirds he hopes to attract to their yard. — Rappahannock New* Photo/T. Reynold* AT THEIR SPERRYVILLE HOME, Jon and Hazel Rood spend their time writing up their Serengetti research and encouraging Rappahannock wildlife to take up residence in their yard. Jon, Hazel, and their daughter, Josephine, live part of the year in Rappahannock County and part of the year in Africa. But there were not just one or t^o such as the backyard birdwatcher might construct: there were dozens of pretty little boxes being painted in the warm spring air, giving evidence that the researcher is never “off-duty”. Down below stretch the neat orchards and farmhouses of Sperryville, many worlds away from the Serengetti and the exotic animals of its grassy plains, but still a world of wildlife for Jon Rood to study. THIS FUNNY ANIMAL is a dwarf mongoose, one of the many kinds of mongooses that live together in cooperative societies.

High School Principal Demoted (Continued from Page 1) to the Rappahannock high school, both behavior problems and both with failing grades. “One graduated with honors and my daughter is on the honor roll this year... That shows leadership qualities. You should keep Mr. Wingfield. He s a good principal.” Judy Harrison read from a long list of awards and recognition that Wingfield has received over the years he’s spent at RCHS including: —attendance at a White House conference on students and youth. honorary admissions officer at the United States Military Academy at West Point, various elected posts in district and regional administrators' organizations. The Man To Do It Robert Jenkins, a graduate of RCHS who was a student when Wingfield came to the school, recalled the terrible discipline problems that r-r- - existed prior to his arrival. "We laughed at the speech Mr. Wingfield made. He told us 'I’ve heard about this school. I’m here to change it and I’m the man who can do it’.” The new principal changed the laughter to acceptance of a new disciplined environment, Jenkins said. “He whipped a lot of us right into line.” Newbill Miller was one of only two speakers to give support for the superintendent’s recommendation that Wingfield not be rehired. “This is an emotional time. We’re dealing with emotional issues. But I want to talk about quality education,” said the former school board member, noting that he had four boys graduate from RCHS who went on to some form of higher education. ‘‘Frankly, they weren’t prepared... If we want quality education in Rappahannock County. difficult and courageous decisions have to be made to set the pace so that it can occur.’’ THE FAMILY €€ Rt. 211 Sperryville, Va.

Estabrook has earned the confidence of the school board and has made a favorable impression on the board of supervisors as well, according to Miller. “1 hope the school board supports his recommendation.” Noting that she has been a teacher at RCHS for 12 years, “something of a record,” Cynthia Wayland said she has done her best to provide quality education to students in her classes. “Mr. Wingfield stands behind us. He’s always willing to listen to us. He provides an atmosphere that enables us to teach. I couldn't ask for a better principal.” Kept Students Straight “He's kept the school and the students straight,” reported Bob Baines, a sophomore at RCHS. “He has the respect of all the students. He has the teachers behind him and the parents behind him. I don’t know what else he can do!” “Thank you for opening this issue. I think you all know how I stand,” said Robert Loomis, owner of the rented school board office who has tied renewal of that building’s lease to Wingfield’s reappointment. Guy Foster voiced opposition to Loomis' ultimatum to the board, agreeing with the supervisor who described it as “blackmail.” Addressing Wingfield’s reappointment, Fbster acknowledged that no one can attack the principal's character, his personality or his willingness to work with SAVE SAVE SAVE SAVE l.

But the issue at point, he maintained, is whether the school board made a good decision or a bad decision in hiring a professional and progressive superintendent. Sharon Kilpatrick pointed out that it’s extremely unlikely a superintendent with only nine months at the job would recommend that Wingfield not be reappointed without first getting a consensus from at least the majority of the board. Kilpatrick said she has taught under three principals and didn’t know of any who would have received the support from students and teachers given to Dennis Wingfield. She maintained that bad morale is the most serious problem facing the county’s school system. Rejection of the proposed index salary scale lowered morale at the elementary school while Wingfield's ouster will send morale among the high school teachers plummeting, she said, predicting that the two moves will push Rap pahannock’s teacher turnover back up to the 30-40 percent range. “That scares me.” High school shop teacher Jim Dennis, who reported that he’d received his termination notice from Estabrook that day, said he'd been surprised in coming to Rappahannock to find that teachers at the high school liked their principal. In Ohio where he taught previously, he said. ‘‘We hated our principal.” But in Rappahannock, “not only did we like our principal but we liked the superintendent,” Dennis continued with a pause, “the superintendent we had last year...We had a good relationship. We had fun teaching. This year, teaching has become a bit of a chore,” he said, adding that when asked a question, the current central office staff responds, "We’ll get back to you. We have to mull it over.” “Get rid of me if you want to," Dennis told the board. “But keep Mr. Wingfield. He’s the best thing you’ve got going in this system right now." Tiny Carney recalled her year of teaching at the high school when she was hired in an emergency with no experience and no teaching certificate. “Mr. Wingfield was absolutely wonderful to me. He answered all my questions...He didn't intimidate me or make me feel stupid for asking them. I always knew he was there but I never felt that he was breathing down my neck. I was able with his help to do a fairly decent job in teaching physical education.” In the most moving expressions of support presented at the meeting, Peggy Stevenson, Allison Best and Shannon Streagle, all students at RCHS, broke into tears as they tried to tell the board why they felt the principal should be rehired. Terrible Mistake "You're making a horrible mistake," Stevenson warned, stressing how much the students like and respect Wingfield. “I respect him because he’s someone to respect—not because I've been told to.” ‘‘He's advised me and helped me. He's literally picked me up when I fell on my face,” said Shannon Streagle. "I cannot understand this mistake. Mr. Wingfield’s not a saint. Nobody is. But he’s a very fine man.” “He makes you feel at home when you’re down in the dumps and don’t know where to turn to next,” said Allison Best. ‘‘You’ll be making a terrible mistake if you don’t rehire him.” Former teacher Dean Hahn said he’s never had a fairer supervisor than Wingfield, a man he described as fair, someone who listens to problems, who Building? •Paint ( •Lumber ,v . •MiHwork '§ •Hardware Complete One Step BUILDING SUPPLY Warrenton Building Material Co., Inc. on the By Pass Warrenton 347 1400 cares about the welfare of students and metes oift discipline evenly and fairly. “We don’t want the personal element thrown out of the school system. That's part of quality education," said Bill Harrison. “I know we have quality education in this county. We need, however, to learn to work together,” he maintained, criticizing the timing of Estabrook’s recommendation when Wingfield's daughter has just one more year before graduating from the high school. Irving Kenyon also supoorted the principal. “Someone or something has been holding that high school together for all these years. I doubt if it’s the spaciousness, the science labs without water, the home ec room or the business section with its up-to-date equipment. I doubt if it’s the high salaries paid to teachers or the living conditions in Rappahannock County...where you have to drive 20 to 30 minutes to a drug store. Some person or some thing has been holding the high school together under conditions that are not ideal. 1 suggest that person might be Mr. Wingfield.” High school teacher Denise Nelson told the board she was “speaking to Mr. Wingfield’s effectiveness, not his personality but his integrity... He strives for higher educational quality in the high school.” “There’s no one here who isn’t for quality education,” maintained Aileen Johnson. “I think we have quality education. We may not have quantity education but you can’t blame Mr. Wingfield for that.” She added that she had a son who attended the high school “If he didn’t get it, it wasn't the teacher’s fault. It was his fault. I's up to the student, to the person, to get it.” The fact that RCHS doesn’t have the problems found in other high schools "is due to Mr. Wingfield and his relationship with the students,” Johnson concluded. Rev. Ray Campbell noted that the Gospels portray a cross segment of humanity: those who betrayed Christ, those who sought Him faithfully “and those who stood at the tomb to guard Him—they were bribed, they lied.” The good news of the Gospel is that "we can move out of the segment of society we find ourselves in by being born again...Is it the right thing? I'm not the judge. God never delegated that power to any man,” only to Christ, Campbell said. ^ Seven On To College "I've had just about as many children in the high school as anybody in this room," said Lester Deal, noting that he had seven graduate and go on to college. “When they quit, they quit on their own. It wasn’t due to a fault with Rappahannock County High School,” he said, adding that Wingfield had even convinced him to go back to college at Germanna. Reporting that she has taught 12 years, three in Rappahannock County, Sally Bristol said, “I don't think you can find a finer staff of teachers... They’re all exceptionally fine people to work with and a lot of them wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for Mr. Wingfield.” Ron Wiley described the RCHS principal as "a consistent man, a man of high morals and high values.” He told the board that his daughter who graduated from RCHS was doing well at the University of Virginia while a classmate of hers from the high school had been accepted at Johns Hopkins and several other prestigious institutions of higher education. “I don’t see how Mr. Wingfield can be held accountable for a lack of quality education. A lot of times it’s in the student. A lot of times, it’s in the family,” Wiley said. While acknowledging that she has been very impressed with superintendent Robert Estabrook, Ruth Williams noted that Wingfield has the confidence of his students and his faculty. "I hope and pray you keep him.” Carson Johnson took the school board to task for its lack of preparation for Tuesday’s meeting. “This is the second or third time I’ve been to one of these meetings. And although I'm interested in quality education, it’s probably the last one I’ll attend. If there was ever a fire trap, it’s here tonight! The people of Rappahannock County deserve better planning for this type of meeting,” he maintained. Earlier in the evening.

The board went into executive session at around 9:30 and returned to an open meeting three hours later to approve employment of professional personnel as recommended by the superintendent and to reassign the high school principal to the classroom.

Mon -Fri Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation Thursday, April 15,1982 We Thank You After completing more than 25 years of service, veteran Rappahannock newswoman Sarah C. Latham has stepped down as Associate Publisher of the Rappahannock News. Mrs. Latham joined the News in 1956. when the paper was a tabloid owned by Basil Burke of Orange. She stayed with it through three more owners, signing on with the present company. the Fauquier Times Democrat Co., Warrenton, in 1977. A native of Fairfax County, Mrs. Latham came to Rappahannock in 1940 when she married the late A. C. Latham, who had a store in Amissville. She joined the News in 1956, shortly after her husband’s death in an automobile accident left her the sole support of herself and her four daughters. During her career with the News, Mrs. Latham has held a multitude of titles and positions, but her job was always the same: to produce, finance and distribute the best Rappahannock County newspaper e&ch week, without regard to the amount of travel, energy and midnight oil consumed. Combining her dedication to the News and the community with keen common sense, Mrs. Latham managed to reach her goal every week for the past 25 years, taking care of the large problems and small problems alike; making the news more complete or accurate by correcting the spelling of a name, or picking up a late advertisement on the way home. No stranger to the sort of conflict and controversy that is inevitable in a closeknit yet ruggedly individualistic county, Mrs. Latham managed to avoid taking sides when reporting the news on divisive issues. She was proud of the fact that when it came to taking a position on the editorial page, the Rappahannock News, as well as she herself, owed no one any favors. Managing to-keep a small weekly newspaper alive and well through four changes in ownership, four changes in format, and the assorted routine crises that face small business operators has been no easy task. For the past 25 years, the people of Rappahannock have relied on basically one person to ensure that they got their news right, on time, every week. For this, we say thank you to Sarah Latham, Rappahannock newspaper woman. Cambridge Students Study Local History "Wi don't have any average days!” joked Elsa Newmeyer when she was asked how classes were going in the off-campus program set up last week at Lake Whippoorwill Farm outside of Washington. Elsa and her husband Larry Forrester are instructors for eight kids —sophomores, juniors and seniors—from the Cambridge School of Weston, a private secondary school in Weston, Massachusetts. The group is spending a month in Rappahannock, studying southern literature, local history, crafts and country ways. To date, they’ve lined up sessions with glass blower Eric Kvarnes, Woodville’s herb lady Mrs. Flossie Williamson, weaver Kim Jacobson, potter and basket weaver Jeanne Drevas and Rev. W. B. Dennis who has spent 93 years living and learning in Rappahannock County. They've also scheduled a visit with John Jackson, a native son who has earned worldwide reknown as a blues singer and musician. Mornings will be spent at the lakeside cabin in a southern literature seminar. Afternoons, the kids will focus on their special areas of interst, going to see different local resource people. Evenings at Lake Whippoorwill are a scene from “Cheaper by the Dozen” or “The Brady Bunch” with eight teenagers practicing interview techniques, writing reports, reading, squabbling, helping with dinner and sharing clean-up chores. On weekends, the group will go canoeing, backpacking, riding and hiking, activities for which they’ll receive school credit in physical education. Correction In an article on the schoo bus accident printed in the March 18 edition of the Rappahannock News, the young lady who assisted youngsters on the bus was incorrectly identified in £ report to the paper. Sheila Scott, a senior ai RCHS, worked efficient!) and calmly to check youngsters as well as the driver of the other vehicle involved in the accident fot injuries. The News regrets the error. Omission Wilson Burke was omitted from the list of committee members named by the Sperryville Business Council to make recommendations on revisions to the county's flood plain regulations. The News regrets the omission. Elsa and Larry are still looking for Rappahannock natives and historians willing to talk to the students for oral history projects. They are particularly interested in the acquisition of land for Shenandoah National Park and the culture of the mountain people who were displaced from their homes by that effort. Anyone willing to volunteer an hour or two of their time should call the Cambridge School instructors at 6753542. Guest Named To Council Del. Raymond R. “Andy” Guest has been appointed to the Southern Legislative Conference of the Council of State Governments. Guest, who represents Rappahannock County in the Virginia General Assembly’s House of Delegates, will serve on the Council’s Agricultural and Rural Development Committee. "I am very pleased to have received this appointment and 1 look forward to working with my counterparts from other states to attempt to find answers to those problems in agriculture and rural development common throughout the southern states,” Guest said. CLEANING UP last Saturday were members of Cub Scout Pack 50 of Amissville. They cleaned up Rt. 642 from Amissville to Viewtown. Those working hard along the road were Rodney Ramey, Randy Ramey, Eric Lacey, Wayne Dodson, Joey Smith, Robbie Settle, Matthew Eidson, Andy Sheffield, Silas Martin, Thelma Martin, Debbie Wharton. Clarence Dodson, Rhonda Ramey, Bill Settle, Dixie Dodson, and Kinsey Wharton. 4 ■—Our Rappahannock Heritagi Grave Mistake To the editor: I graduated from RCHS with the class of 1980 and I am presently a sophomore at Lynchburg College. Mr. Wingfield’s conduct and influence contributed greatly toward my continuing my education. Marshall Thanked To the editor: Being a member of the Junior Class of Rappahannock High is very hard work when you consider the time spent working on the J u n io r - S e n ior Prom decorations. We have been blessed, however, with an excellent advisor. Ms. Marshall, the Gifted and Talented teacher for the elementary and high schools, has given much of her time to help us decorate for this festive occasion. Her knowledge and skills in painting have allowed us to let our imaginations soar and still create something that would fit into our small budget. This letter is a modest expression of how much we appreicate her help. Thank you very much. Ms. Marshall. THE CLASS OF '83 Clarification To the editor: The article on rabies in the Rappahannock News, dated April 8, 1982, indicated that 1 had advised Patricia Saltonstall that she should have her livestock immunized against rabies. That is not correct. Instead, I advised her to call the State Agriculture and Consumer Services Department in Warrenton. It is my understanding that the Regional Veterinary Supervisor did recommend that her livestock be immunized against rabies. Request that this information be corrected for the record. Another lesser matter that was implied in the article was that we were continuing to test animals for rabies even though no known exposure had occurred. While animals are currently being submitted to document rabies in the absence of exposure, it is only being done in those areas of :he district which have not sxperienced rabies during his epizootic. JOHN EINARSON, M.D. Director Editor's note: The article eferred to relied on inbrmation provided by Mrs. 'altonstalL We regret the rror.) I was extremely disturbed when I read about Mr. Estabrook’s attempt to remove Mr. Wingfield from his present position as high school principal. I don’t know what observations Mr. Estabrook's conclusion is based upon but as a former student at the high school. I perceived an entirely different person. We had our differences but despite them I could always count on him for a fair decision. When I had a problem. I could go to him and his office was always open. He treated the students as adults, and taught me many valuable lessons, most of which could not have been learned through books in a classroom. Throughout my four years at Rappahannock County High School, he gained my most sincere respect and esteem. I think it would be p grave mistake on behalf of the school board to dismiss Mr. Wingfield. BRIAN A. FITZEK Democracy To the editor: Democracy: (1) a form of government in which political power resides in all the people and is exercised by them directly (pure democracy), or is given to elected representatives (representative democracy), with each citizen sharing equally in political privilege and duty, and with his nights to do protected by free elections and other guarantees. (2) a state so governed (3) the spirit or practice of political, legal, or social equality. (4) the common people especially when regarded as exercising political power. When elected officials consistantly fail to represent the wishes of the people, democracy has failed. When the personal interests of a few consistantly over-shadow the intersts of the majority, democracy has failed. When the very people whose lives are governed have no say in that government there is no democracy. We, the people of Rappahannock County, should assess what we have; if it is not a true democracy, we are the only ones who can set a change in motion. If our elected or appointed representatives fail to represent the people, then it is time to think about changing those representatives. If we do not agree with decisions made on our behalf, yet continue to accept them and those who made them as our elected representatives; then we have only ourselves to blame. ' Man’s capacity for justice makes democracy possible; but man’s inclination to injustice makes democracy necessary.” (Reinhold Niebuhr). JANICE MOFFETT On Trial To the editor: It is not Mr. Wingfield, but the schoolboard who is on trial. Several years ago, the people of Rappahannock became so disgusted with the schoolboard that the voters eliminated the Educational Trustee Board, who selected the members of the schoolboard, and granted that authority instead to the county Board of Supervisors. Now that the Board of Supervisors has had the privilege to select most of the schoolboard members, will they suffer at the polls because of the performance of the schoolboard? In the next supervisors election year will we have a one issue campaign, “the schoolboard”? One issue campaigns are seldom in the best interest of a jurisdiction, although regretfully, they happen sometimes. However, as vacancies have arrived on the schoolboard, I have heard the proclamation of academic degrees being stressed as the qualification to hold public office. May I warn the board of supervisors and the voters of Rappahannock County that college degrees are not the only factors one needs to serve the public interest. There are the characteristics of the individual: to be honest, and fair, and just, and to always give consideration to their constituencies which in the case of Rappahannock are comprised mostly of poor people. Unfortunately, there are many people with college degrees who lack the characteristics of a good public servant However, I have faith that the majority of the members of the schoolboard will make their decisions with a clear Christian conscience, and since such vague allegations have been presented against Mr. Wingfield, 1 am sure he will be reinstated as principal of Rappahannock High. JOHN & SUMMERS < Letters To Editor Not Blackmail To the editor: I read in your paper that one of the Supervisors accused me of "blackmail” when he heard I would not renew the lease for the school board office in my building, unless certain conditions were met. Webster’s New Word Dictionary defines “blackmail" as...“payment extorted to prevent disclosure of information that could bring disgrace.” Since everyone who read your paper the week before was already aware that the Superintendent had not recommended the renewal of Mr. Wingfield’s contract as principal, it wouldn't be worthwhile for me to threaten to disclose that “disgraceful information.” I merely stated, clearly and openly, conditions under which I would consider renewing the lease. I wonder if Mr. Estabrook showed as little courtesy to Mr. Wingfield as he has to me. Not once has he come to me with any requests, complaints or suggestions with regard to the school board office, though I visited him shortly after he arrived and offered whatever help I could to make conditions more bearable. His remark at that time was “everything is fine, just fine." Then I read in your paper - just the next day - that he had complained at the board meeting of totally inadequate space, crowded conditions, no privacy, etc. A later edition of your paper informed us all that the school board and superintendent positively wanted to leave the “vermin and varmint ridden fire trap." 1 read in still another edition of your paper that, according to Estabrook, the lease agreement between the School Board and the Olde Hotel Apts, was on a 30-day basis. This was certainly news to me and a great source of embarrassment as it didn’t say much for my business acumen. The last information I received (also from the paper) was that the School Board planned to move into a new office in September. Is it too much to ask that I be notified by someone in authority - either the Superintendent or the Chairman of the School Board - when there was a complaint, or that plans were progressing for a new office? A letter, a phone call, a note requesting a meeting to discuss the matter - anything other than the hypocritical way it has been handled. I don’t quarrel with these things being brought out at the School Board meetings. I do resent not being informed or consulted ahead of time. Is this what happened to Dennis Wingfield? Was he ever approached by Estabrook at any time during the year to discuss whatever problems might exist? How is it possible for a new Superintendent, who has never held that position before, to make such statements about another person he has seen so little of and known hardly at all? Perhaps he should learn his own job first before presuming to judge another person with many years of satisfactory service. I have known Dennis Wingfield since my own children were in Montevideo High School, where he was teaching before being invited to come here 16 years ago, and I think he has not deserved the treatment he received - nor have I - and I stated the new lease conditions to show that I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is. 1 also decided the Superintendent could read my criticisms in your paper, as I had to read his. BILL LOOMIS Retired Agriculture Education Teacher More Support For Wingfield To the editor: As a former student of Rappahannock County High School (class of 1979), I feel the need to speak out on the possible non-renewal of Mr. Wingfield's contract for next year. It is my opinion that nonrenewal would be a waste of a talented and knowledgeable principal. Mr. Wingfield has a greal deal of understanding for the students and their needs. That understanding is a part of his administration in the high school. I base this opinion on my experience with Mr. Wingfield as class president. We often worked together planning projects to raise funds for the class and organizing the prom and later the senior trip. Throughout the time we worked together, the class had his support and his concern. It would have been so easy for him to sign his name to approve a project and leave it at that, but that was never the case. We discussed projects thoroughly, and he gave a number ot suggestions to improve ideas. Mr. Wingfield was willing to work with the class, and because of that, many of the projects were successes. Personally. Mr. Wingfield always treated me with respect and consideration. Whenever I needed to talk to him about class business, he was willing to take the time and discuss it with me. 1 never felt concerned about going to him when the class had a problem. There was always an open line of communication. 1 have been in other school systems before RCHS, and 1 have worked and attended college since graduation. I have come in contact with a number of administrators and through that. I've come to realize that Mr. Wingfield was and is an understanding principal who knows his job. I respect the man and I respect the job he has done. Serious thought should be made concerning nonrenewal of his contract. 1 support renewal. KAREN MURRAY Excellent Example To the editor: This letter is in response to your article last week concerning the proposed ousting of Mr. Dennis Wingfield. First of all, I want to express my personal opinion of this gentleman. After attending RCHS for five years and graduating from there, I feel very fortunate to have been able to be there during a period of such fine leadership. The faculty of the school is simply insurpassable and I think this fact is largely attributed to the example of excellence they have to follow. No matter how tough the going gets, there is a steadfast friend available to students and faculty alike. Secondly. I'd like to address the school board. How can you possibly dissolve sixteen years of dedication, devotion, and just plain hard work on the basis of "observations of Wingfield's performance over the past several months”? This to me is a lame excuse. Mr. Estabrook, do you really know Mr. Wingfield yet? KATHRYN ROMINE COOMBS Better Than Perfect To the editor: What’s even better than having a delegate in the Virginia House who is called "perfect” in the pages of the Rappahannock News? It's having him right here at the courthouse in Washington when the Republicans of Rappahannock County come together at their Mass Meeting at 8 p.m. on Friday evening, April 23. Raymond R. “Andy” Guest, Jr., our man in Richmond, will address the meeting, and will remain to , greet his many friends in this area. All registered voters in the county who are sympathetic to the aims of the Republican Party in Virginia are invited to come and greet their popular representative. EDITH POND Sperryville

From Rapp Hunt Dahlgren Takes Old Fashioned Series Like the U. S. mail, Eva Dahlgren came through despite the weather to win a three race, old fashioned point-to-point series held March 20 and 27 and April 3 over local hunt country. As the leading rider in the series, Dahlgren, who represented the Rappahannock Hunt, was awarded the Harry Ruhsam Challenge Plate after her first place finish over the Orange County Hunt’s four mile distance on April 3. Riders were free to take any route they wished from the starting point at a farm on the Zulla Road near Marshall to the finish on Route 703. Dahlgren mounted on Tee, made the trip in approximately 12 minutes. Also from Rappahannock, Jeff LeHew on Lucky and Bold was the winning gentleman rider. Bone-chilling wind and rain plagued the 12 foxhunters who braved the elements as they galloped across open fields, up steep hills and through woods.

The Panthers came back to win in the seventh inning with a score of 12-11. After five innings of play, the Panthers enjoyed a 7-2 lead, only to have the Rams score seven runs in the sixth while Rappahannock went hitless. In the top of the seventh the Rams added two more runs to make the tally 11-7. It was the last chance for the Panthers. Eric Bear led off with a fly out to the second baseman. With but two outs to go, everyone began to lose faith, everyone but the Panthers, that is. Duane Myers, Wayne Atkins and Pops Aylor each got hits and scored, bringing the score up to 11-10. Richie Burke and Mike Leake hit back to back to put men on 2nd and 3rd. With first base open, Strasburg decided to walk Mike Brown, hoping that Rusty Settle would next hit into a double play.

Carl Frye, Glenn Fletcher and Eugene Grigsby lost to the Brentsville boys but their time of 1:37.5 set a new record for RCHS. “That was one of the high points of the boys meet,” Spieker said. Another high point was the extra effort put 6ut by so many of the Panthers, girls and boys, according to the coach. “Twenty-four kids earned golden spikes for reaching the individual goals we set for them. We set goals we think they can’t reach and they just do better and better. They're a great bunch of kids,” said Spieker.

Melinda Wilson Baldwin, died 9 April 1901, aged 106; Lena Baldwin Beahm, died 3 April 1970, aged 44; Thomas William Baldwin, died 13 April 1937, aged 80, Oscar Edward Baldwin, died 26 April 1960, aged 57; Mary Jane Atkins, died 1 April 1982, aged 48; Romie Branson Pullen, died 6 April 1960, aged 70; and Minnie Atkins Pullen, died 22 April 1929, aged 36. These were my great greatgreat great step grand mother, aunt, great greatgreat-uncle, grandfather, cousin, great grandfather, and great-grandmother, granamotner. Sweetly slumbering 'neath the sod. Blessed loved ones called home by God. With eternal hope in their breasts, They closed their eyes and took their rests. Year, afore the dark, cold hand of death. While able men who e'er drew breath, They captured the hearts of all their kin, ney, the hearts of all the countless men. Oh, beneath the sod in divers places Rest the bones of sires and sages, Nobje souls who quest did swiftly end. But leaving an inheritance to later men. Bequest not in form of a worldly estate. 'Twas one that only memory can savour. Thus they conquered o'er their fate. In which they neither faultered or Quavered. And as the cold grim reaper made his rounds. These loved ones, unfettered from their earthly bounds. E'er with calm and sure retreat. Slept, and gave up the ghost for Jesus to meet. Wayne Franklin Baldwin 47 4.

Arts Group To Incorporate An informal group of citizens interested in establishing, an arts and-or community center in Rappahannock moved a step closer to deciding what and where on Monday night with the appointment of officers who will file papers of incorporation. Lee Bird, Frank Reynolds and Truman Keesey were named as incorporating officers for a non-profit “umbrella” organization which will work towards and administer some type of artscommunity center. At present, the old Washington school owned by William Carrigan is the preferred site for such a center. “There's no need to approach Mr. Carrigan again until there is a corporation," stated Waldron O’Connor. Frank Reynolds, staff attorney with Piedmont Environmental Council and a Washington resident who has been involved with the arts center movement since its inception, explained that one or more persons can form a corporation with the incorporators serving as the original board of directors. The process involves filing papers, including information as to purpose, office location and registered agent, with the State Corporation Commission and county clerk. Then the incorporators call a meeting to elect a board of directors and adopt bylaws, Reynolds said. Next, a request for tax exempt status is made to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). He noted, however, that donations can be solicited before IRS conformation is received. Any donations received during the year non-profit status is granted quality for a tax exemption, Reynolds said. Corp. To Lease Space O’Connor and Mitzie Young suggested that the corporation be an “umbrella” organization, nonstock and non-profit, with no allegiance to any particular group. The corporation could control use of the center and lease space to artists, Sursum Corda Day Care Center, the senior citizen nutrition program, dancers, the Rappahannock Chorus, the Rappahannock Players and any other interested parties. “Mr. Carrigan’s idea is to have art classes, sculpture, iron work—that’s the type of activity that’s dearest to his heart. And if his desires are lost sight of, then I'm afraid we won’t get very far with the building,” O’Connor emphasized. Camille Harris, director of Sursum Corda, reported that Carrigan is interested in the day care center as well. She said that he has no objections to day care, pre-school education and adult and child enrichment programs being housed in the old school if SDace arrangements can be worked out with the arts group. Facing space constraints of Sursum Corda’s current facilities, Harris said, she must proceed immediately in .finding additional room and revenue sources, either for renovation of an existing building or construction of new facilities. She indicated that she will approach the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors and Washington’s Town Council with a request for a community and economic development block grant application in the day care center's behalf. The county is expected to apply for around S500.000 for Sperryville’s sewer system and the town council has expressed interest in seeking block grant funds for improvements to Washington’s water system. Under the block grant regulations, a local governing body may file a single application in a given fiscal year. It is impossible, however, for the town and the county to apply jointly for funds to renovate or build new quarters for Sursum Corda’s day care center. A total of $1.4 million is the maximum available for the three projects. (According to John Capelle, executive director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission, day care centers are eligible for block grant money but rank low on the list of priorities. He said that funding chances would be improved if day care could be incorporated into a community center along with programs that relate to delinquency prevention, job training, nutrition and health. Capelle added that arts related programs would not be eligible for funds under community and economic development block grants.) Initial discussions on an arts center didn’t include options for block grants or other large funding sources, according to Mitzie Young. Instead, the group had proposed to gradually renovate the back portion of Carrigan's rear building, remodeling it into an arts center in accordance with his stipulations. In response to the broader concept of a community center. Young said it is conceivable that the front building could fill space needs of Sursum Corda and other community center activities previously mentioned. “They could both be part of the same thing but separate,” she said. "We would have to change the main thrust of the group to become eligible for block grant,” noted Bill Young. In arriving at a general statement to be included in papers filed for incorporation, the group decided to describe itself as promoting arts, education and social services. The corporation's purpose will be to hold and administer property in the interests of the community at large. Mitzie Young, Sam O'Connor, Camille Harris and Daphne Hutchinson were named to a nominating committee to come up with a list of ten to 15 taxpaying citizens willing to serve as members of the corporation's board of directors. They were requested to suggest individuals representative of all the diverse factions in the county. Reports from the incorporating and nominating committees will be presented at the next meeting of the arts center group set for Monday, May 3, at 7:30 p.m. in the courthouse. "The corporation will look into the Carrigan building and any other possibilities—the old Gay Street theater, another building or a new structure." Lee Bird noted. Mystique Of Running Captured In Fodderstack (Continued from Page 1) found the town where they wanted to live. Now Frank trains daily on the course as he puts in 45 miles or so a week the year round. “I’d always been an athlete but I didn’t start running until about four years ago. I’d ruptured my achilles tendon playing basketball and I had to spend a year on crutches or at the most, just walking. To get back into shape, I started jogging. I’ve always . felt the tendon injury resulted from being out of shape. I was an athlete but I was a sendentary athlete who played one basketball game per week,” Reynolds said. The first time he ran, Frank covered .8 miles “and then I feel down in the yard, nearly dead, ” he admitted. “It took me three months to get up to three miles.” I In the meantime, the jogger went to a road race. “It looked like fun so I tried it and I got hooked.” Five months after' he started jogging, Reynolds competed in his first 10 miler. “It feels so good to have your body run efficiently. And doing something well is a lot more fun than doing something half-way,” he explained. "I’m not really racing against other people as much as using the race as a way to measure myself, to push myself...You get a mild euphoric feeling, a runner’s high. It doesn’t happen every time you run and it doesn’t happen to everyone, It’s just a good feeling all over. The same thing you can get with any strenuous exercise. The discomfort disappears and all of a sudden, it all falls together.” In the Fodderstack, that falling together is a little nicer, according to Reynolds. “I’ve run 50 races—more than that—and the Fodderstack is the most challenging course I’ve ever run. There’s a small town atmosphere, a spring time in the country feeling that all the other runners really enjoy. But they all talk about the hill," Reynolds added, chuckling. “The big hill. Rappahannock’s version of the heartbreak hill in the Boston marathon."

I wouldn’t miss the Fodderstack for ten Boston’s.” Culpeper Sends Racers Lowell Owsley, of Culpeper who has run in every race since the start of the Fodderstack Classic, calls it "the best race around.” Lowell plans to be here on the 17th with a full contingent of runners from the newlyformed Blue Ridge Runners, a club composed of Culpeper area runners. As the president of the Blue Ridge Runners, Lowell hopes that members of his club will present a challenge to Rappahannock runners on the difficult Fodderstack course. Besides himself, running in the 50 and over class, he predicts that the following Culpeper runners will do well next Saturday: Mike Helms of Bealeton, who races in the 20-29 class. Lowell predicts that Mike will be a contender for one of the overall trophies. Linda Harvey, in the 30-39 class. Linda places in this category almost every year, and came in first last year. Mary O'Meara, in the 3039 class. Mary has won the Fodderstack twice for the women's division and has finished second to Merrill Strange. Howard Campbell in the 30-39 class. Howard came in third in this division last year. In the unofficial category of women pushing baby strollers last year, Pam Weems and Patty Metcalfe of Flint Hill finished in a dead heat. This year, each has a new baby as well as last year's entries. Pam plans to compete in this class again this year, but Patty is still undecided.
