Rappahannock News, July 29, 1982

33rd YEAR, NO. 30 USPS 45558C 10 Page9 THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1982 W ACHIMflTHM VIDmvn The County Family Newspaper Since 1877 SASrUC. kC * More Time, Info Needed Planners Vote Down Range Amendment By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Vh« Staff 1 r»t«*r With time running out and additional safety information still not received, the Rappahannock planning commissioners forwarded to the supervisors last Wednesday a recommendation for denial of a proposed zoning amendment to allow shooting ranges by special use permit in an agricultural zone. Commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner, Peter Luke, lawyer for the proprietors of Blue Ridge Guns who are seeking the ordinance amendment, and planning commissioners Dave Fannon and Charles Estes met two weeks ago with a representative from the National Rifle Association (NRA) to work on incorporating more extensive controls and standards in the range ordinance that was proposed in May. Crews, in charge of shooting range planning for the NR A, offered the committee general recommendations. So many different variables—the size of the land parcel involved, its terrain, the density of the surrounding area—must be ^considered in establishing regulations for rifle ranges that it’s difficult to be too specific in a countywide ordinance. Baumgardner said. The NRA expert suggested noise levels be limited to 80 decibels measured at the property line, the commonwealth’s attorney reported, describing 80 decibels as a loud speaking voice. Crews also proposed that firearms allowed on ranges be restricted to standard sporting loads with nonmagnum type cartridges and that ranges be required to post regulations relating to safe conduct, according to Baumgardner. Any Conditions He emphasized that in granting a special use permit for a shooting range, the county’s board of zoning appeals will have authority to attach any conditions deemed suitable. In addition, said Baumgardner, the BZA must determine that an application for a shooting range meets all the requirements set out in article 10-13 before granting a special use permit. (That section of the zoning ordinance specifies that the BZA must find that the proposed use will not be hazardous to or in conflict with the predominant character of the neighborhood. will not adversely affect health and safety of persons residing or working in the neighborhood and will not be detrimental to public welfare or property values.) Along with Crews’ three recommendations on countywide regulations, the committee presented the planning commission with 10 to 15 pages of general rules relating to safety on shooting ranges. Baumgardner reported that the proposed ordinance amendment plus additions suggested by the NRA range expert generally reflects regulations now in effect in Fauquier County. He added that Crews had volunteered to send the planning commission copies of shooting range ordinances from other counties, including Prince William and Loudoun, but that the information has not yet been received. The commonwealth's attorney advised that the commission must act on a proposed zoning ordinance amendment within 90 days from the time of its referral from the board of supervisors. “If the planning commission doesn’t act within 90 days, it’s deemed a recommendation for ap(Continued on Page 10) Foster Care Project Begins By THERESA RE* NOEDS Ka|>|ulMiiiHMi >«•%»•» Staff % ritrr A selected few Rappahannock County adults who need some degree of assistance during the course of a normal day may soon have an alternative to nursing home care. Rappahannock is one of five counties that will conduct a pilot program placing elderly or disabled adults in foster care. The qualifications of the foster care home will be reviewed by county social workers and training will be provided by local agencies. Sylvia Kreitler. superintendent of the Rappahannock Welfare Department. said that Rappahannock will have three of the 21 adults who will receive the state funds designated for the foster care project. The year-long study will provide a model for other counties who are seeking a solution to the problems of aged or disabled adults who can no longer live alone but who would like to stay in familiar surroundings. “We’ve always believed that this is the way to go,” Kreitler said. “It's much better to be in a family atmosphere and to remain here in Rappahannock than to be sent to a nursing home in Orange or Winchester.” Kreitler said that, in addition to fulfilling certain physical requirements, special attention would be paid to the ability of the foster home to provide real “tender loving care" to needy adults. The guidelines stipulate that no more than three adults may go to any one home. Funds for the pilot project were appropriated by the General Assembly specially for this purpose, and will be added to local funds to pay the caretakers. Those eligible are county residents on a limited income who are not totally disabled but who need some assistance. Those chosen to participate will also pay part of the expense of their care which will range up to S350 per month, depending on the degree of disability. What will happen at the end of the year of the study? “If it works out well, then it will be part of our polity,” Kreitler said. She added that the alternative of foster care placement will be less expensive as well as more acceptable to adults who need it. Kreitler said that the Rappahannock County Welfare Department hopes to identify the three adults and to have selected one or more homes for placement by midSeptember. Those interested in either providing or receiving care under the program may call her at the Welfare Office. Other counties in Planning District Nine who will participate in this study are Fauquier.

For 1981, the crime rate in Rappahannock was 11.48 pier 1,000 population, a drop from the previous year’s 17.16 rate pier 1,000. Offenses counted in that Figure include murder and non-negligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny and motor vehicle theft, all term serious crimes by the Reporting Section. In 1981, the county had one rape, three assaults, 49 burglaries and 17 larcenies. By comparison in 1980, Rappahannock had one murder or manslaughter, one robbery, three assaults, 44 burglaries, 50 larcenies and four motor vehicle thefts. The average crime rate in 1981 for all of Virginia’s 95 counties was 32.22 per 1,000 population while the rate for independent cities was even higher at 70.56 pier 1,000. Both show an increase over 1980: cities Five percent and counties almost one percent. For the same period, Rappahannock's rate for serious crimes dropped by 15 percent. Only 14 of the state's 136 counties and independent cities had a lower crime rate for 1981. The county’s 11.48 rate per 1,000 was the lowest in the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District. By comparison, the serious crime rate per 1,000 population in Culpeper was 29.26; in Fauquier 22.76; in Madison 23.06 and in Orange 23.72. Of the four only Orange showed a decline over the previous year. Clearance Rate Up In the one year period, the percent of crimes cleared or solved in Rappahannock jumped from 15.5 percent in 1980 to 21.4 percent in 1981. Of the total for 1981, the county sheriff's office was credited with a clearance rate of 23.7 percent and the state police with nine percent. Although Rappahannock's clearance record has improved, it still lagged behind the other counties in the planning district with Culpeper reporting 37.4 percent of all serious crimes cleared; Fauquier 35.1 percent and Orange 33 percent. Only Madison had a lower rate with 18.20 percent of index offenses cleared. Of the 253,437 serious crimes in the state, 23.6 percent of the offenses were cleared, according to the crime report. More Murders In 1981. there were 461 murders reported in Virginia, up from 455 the previous year. Of these offenses 79.8 percent were cleared. An alaysis by month shows March had the greatest occurance and April and October the least. According to the Uniform Crime Report, "murder - non-negligent manslaughter is largely a societal problem which is beyond the control of the police. The relationship of the victim to the offender and the circumstances of murder serve to emphasize this point.” Statistics included in the report show that only 12 percent of the murders in Virginia in 1981 were committed by persons who were strangers to the victim. In 37.4 percent of the cases, the victim was an acquaintance; in 11.7 percent of the cases a spouse; 5.2 percent a boyfriend or girlfriend; 5.0 percent a parent or child; 6.3 percent another family member and 22.4 percent the relationship was unknown. Circumstances involved in last year’s 461 murders induced lover’s triangle (two percent), influence of alcohol or drugs (6.3 percent), felony (11.2 percent), argument over money (two percent), other arguments (39.1 percent), other known circumstances (18.7 percent) and undetermined (20.7 percent). Firearms were used in 68.5 Community Service Option Given PD 9 Offenders Beginning Aug. 1, defendants convicted of minor misdemeanors, such as bad checks and petty larceny, in Planning District Nine general district courts, may be placed in a new community service work program rather than being jailed andor fined. To be known as the Battlefield Diversionary Program, the new effort will give PD9’s three district court judges the option of sentencing a misdemeant to a specified number of hours of community serVice work under court supervision. Among the goals of the program are to help reduce an already overcrowded jail situation in the five counties, help provide the community with capable workers in useful jobs, provide a meanginful form of punishment of lieu of jail sentences, and help collect misdemeanor fines through in-kind labor for the thousands of dollars which go uncollected each year. Several governmental and non-profit agencies have already expressed an interest in the diversionary program, said Program Coordinator Dean Irvine, who is looking to recruit more. Mr. Irvine is presently the director of the District Nine Virginia Alcohol Safety Action Program which will be merged with Battlefield Diversionary Programs under an umbrella agency known as R appahannock-Rapid an Division of Court Services. "The intent of the program is not to knock people out of jobs, "Mr. Irvine said. “It’s to save localities labor time from their own work force. Any agency that wants to save a dollar and has been using its own employees in odd jobs or hiring contract people can use this program." Mr. Irvine emphasized that program participants would be non-violent offenders, mostly persons convicted for the first time. All insurance liability costs will be borne by the Division of Court Services. Participating agencies will be responsible mainly for reporting on the time and efficiency of workers assigned to them. Because of the varying skills and backgrounds of offenders, Mr. Irvine said the workers available could range from laborers to mechanics to computer operators. The diversionary program, like ASAP, will be funded by a small administrative fee collected from the participants. Thus it will be selfsustaining with no tax dollars involved. Any government or nonprofit civic organization interested should contact Dean Irvine at (703) 8254SS0. percent of all murder - nonnegligent manslaughter cases.

On the reading portion of the competency tests, 95.8 percent of the county’s tenth graders posted a passing grade compared to a slightly higher 96.2 percentage statewide. Almost 93 percent of all tenth graders in Virginia who took math and reading tests passed both; in Rappahannock, 95.7 percent of tenth grade students taking the two tests passed both. This year’s minimum competency test results for the state as a whole have dropped. The 93 percent of 64,436 tenth graders passing both tests represents a 1.7 percent decline from last year. The percentage passing reading this year represents a slight improvement, .9 percent over the 1981 level, which is more than offset by a three percent drop in the percentage of students passing the mathematics portion of the competency tests. Rappahannock School Superintendent Robert Estabrook said that the minimum competency testing provided “no meaningful insight” into how Rappahannock youngsters compare with their counterparts across the state. Estabrook explained that the tests required a “very low level of basic skills” for a passing grade. “These tests were mandated by the General Assembly and acquired in a hurry without regard to their suitability,” Estabrook said. “Most educators agree that the type of test and its subsequent revisions (three since 1979) have not allowed a reliable norm to be established.” Nor. he maintained, do they reflect individual curriculum and the students' comprehension of what has been taught. In addition, the test is marked on a scale that adjusts the passing grade downward. "It’s a mistake to say that those who pass have answered 70 percent of the questions correctly,” he said. “The scale used for evaluation requires much less than 70 percent for a passing score.” Estabrook said that he was not defensive about Rappahannock's tenth graders’ performance on the test, but just the opposite. “I would prefer a much more difficult test, a test that had been properly fieldtested on a large population, and one that more accurately (Continued on Page 6) OITO A H.TH.T a tv m m . r» . — Rapftahanr*«ck %*•** I'hirto/I^ntW Y<mnr SUSANNAH McNEAR gives her lamb a snack at the Culpeper Farm Show, which ended Monday.

His Life And Times Sanford Rollins Struggled To Find God Presented in four parts, the following "Life and Times of Sanford Rollins of Virginia" was printed for the author in 1880. Louise S. Varner of S perryville provided The Rappahannock News with a copy of the little 18-page pamphlet which tells the story of a Rappahannock native, who lived over a century and a half ago. Part II I will now return to my own story. My mother often gave me good advice while in that reckless condition; she often told me that mv best friends said that 1 was a ruined man. 1 often promised her that I would do better, but I would soon forget and find myself in my old habits. Brother William and myself were alone one day. and he told me all about my card playing. I rememtier well his conversation. He said it' 1 did not forsake the company 1 kept. I would not he countenanced by anybody, and that I would soon be a murderer; that 1 was killing my mother fast by peace meal. He said if I could hear her groans and sighs I certainly would abandon my ways. It went as a daggar to my heart. 1 made then a solemn vow to God that 1 would never be caught in such acts again which in most part I kept, but still continued at times to use profane language. It would appear to many from day to day that 1 had sinned the day of grace aw ay. I felt that l had slaughtered the advice of the kindest and best of mothers. All these troubles 1 kept to myself. When any of my friends would talk to me on the subject of religion, I would answer them in the most abrupt manner. 1 often told them religion was a humbug: 1 told them I had as much religion as any of them, and I would not give my chance for theirs, but 1 did not believe what I said. Awful Sinner 1 felt that I was an awful sinner in the eyes of God. It often appeared to me that there was no mercy for such a sinner as 1 was; I strove hard to put away all such thoughts. 1 often felt that I was ruined and lost forever. I would catch myself with some oaths upon my lips. I continued in this way for several months. One Sabbath day 1 met with one of my old associates, and he soon bantered me for a game of cards. I told him that I had promised myself and my God that I never would play another card. His answer was "Promise the devil, you only know that I will beat you!" I told him even if I felt disposed to play I had no money. He said he had none either, but that we will play a tew games on creou. 1 tom him I would not do that. He finally prevailed on me to play one game, betting our waisteoats. In a few minutes. I had won his waistcoat. 1 then threw the cards out of my hands, and told him that I had played the last game while I lived, a vow which I have never broken. I felt - that evening as I journeyed home that I had violated my promise, and broken God’s holy Sabbath. I felt there could be no mercy for me. I could eat no supper that night; my mother wanted to know if I was sick. I told her not much. "You are in trouble.” she said. ‘‘You have had a difficulty with someone today.” I told her that I had had no difficulty with any human being. I then got up and walked out to avoid any more questions. 1 felt then that it was impossible for me to be saved. Tried To Pray 1 walked a short distance from the house and knelt down and tried to pray.

Nothing 1 could say but “Lord, be merciful to me, the worst of sinners.” I went back to the house and went to bed, but I could not sleep a wink during the night. 1 got up next morning weak and fatigued; my sins rose up like mountains before me. and hung like a black cloud around my pathway during the entire week. While I was at work on Saturday evening, I heard that my brother William had joined the Church that day, which increased my troubles very much. I went home that night, but none of the family said anything to me about it or 1 to them. On Sunday morning, my mother asked me if I was going to Church. I told her I was not. She burst into tears, and said. "You are not going to see your brother baptized!" She wept bitterly. 1 told her 1 would go if it would do her any good. I did go and all the preachers said seemed intended for me. I was troubled on account of my sins for two months; finally 1 could not work. Two weeks before Christmas I came to the conclusion that God would not suffer such a sinner as 1 was to live out of hell any longer. I certainly believed it was the last day 1 should ever see, it was a beautiful sun-shiny day. I made up my mind that I would walk away. I walked about a quarter of a mile along a small path that led through a piece of woods. While walking along a verse of a hymn came to my mind which 1 had often heard. 1 can but perish If 1 pray. I am resolved to try. For if I stay away, 1 know I must forever die. I made up my mind to pray; if the devil got me he would get me a praying. I went to the root of a large Sperryville Firemen’s CARNIVAL S3 Thurs., Fri. & Sat.

The first I knew I was standing on mv feet. 1 felt that the Lord had pardoned my sins; my load of guilt was gone. Great Happineaa My happiness was so great I could not express it. 1 felt that 1 loved the Savior and all God’s people. I made up my mind to go home and tell my mother all the Lord had done for me. On my way to the house something within me seemed to say, my happiness was not real, and prompted me not to tell it. 1 went in the house and picked up a Bible and began to read; after reading a while mother says to me, “Why don’t you read out?” I told her 1 did not feel like reading aloud; 1 knew 1 could not control my feelings. That night was the hap piest one 1 ever spent. I made up my mind during the next week that it was my duty to come out from the world and join the church. I knew I loved God’s people, and 1 wanted to be baptized in obedience to God's holy law. When meeting day came on, which was Christmas eve, it was a cold, cloudy day. After breakfast I asked William if he was not going to Church, he said it was too cold, and he was not very well. I told him it was the first time 1 ever asked him to go to church with me. He laughed heartily, saying he would go. We soon got ready and started. 1 was greatly in hopes he would say something to me upon the subject of religion. 1 wanted to tell him my intention, and get his advice, but I was disappointed, not a word did he say upon the subject.

Just as 1 was in the act of getting up to go, something seemed to say, NOT YET. I sat still and trembled like a leaf. One of the members took hold of my arm and said, “Go up and talk.” I shook my head. The church soon adjurned, and we started for home. I felt miserably. I felt that I had not done what God required of me. 1 was troubled all night. I went back next day to church, and after the sermon, there was liberty given for experiences. A lady and gentleman went up and united with the church. I made up my mind while they were talking, 1 certainly would go, but it was the same thing over. Something said, “You must not go.” 1 yielded to the temptation. After the congregation was dismissed, I felt troubled. 1 felt it was the devil that had kept me away. Preaching was given out for the next night at a neighbor’s house near where I lived. I made a vow to God if my life was spared to have another opportunity, 1 would not give away to Satan s tempiauon. I went to meeting that night. After the sermon was over, an invitation was given to those wishing to unite with the church to come forward. I made my way to the seat and was able to tell the church that I felt the Lord had pardoned my sins. I was received by the church and given the right hand of fellowship by the pastor and brethren. 1 went home that night feeling that 1 had done my duty. My mother was not surprised when William told her I had united with the church. Said she had expected it at all the meetings which very much surprised me. 1 did not think anyone knew my intention; while she had said nothing to me about it. 1 had the united prayers of her and brother William in my behalf. Baptized I was baptized and added to the church in February. 1841. From that time to the present it has been my earnest desire to live in my Master’s service but as the hymn says: Often I feel my sinful heart Prone from my Saviour to depart, Often him I have forgot. His loving kindness changes not. Here 1 wish to leave my story. 1 wish to give a word of advice to my brethren and sisters in the church. God does not like idle Christians; there is a work for every Christian to perform. We can work for Christ in various ways; we should let our light shine by our upright walk and godly conversation. We can work for our Master by our fervent prayers; we can pray for our friends and relatives. When we are thrown in company with our friends and neighbors, we should bring up the subject of religion. We can tell them of the love of Jesus and the happiness of heaven. Those that are blessed with this world’s goods can greatly work for Jesus with their means in spreading the gospel in heathen lands. We should encourage Sabbath Schools and use every effort to impart religious instruction to the youth. Sunday Christians We should keep up a weekly prayer meeting; we should not leave all the work for our pastors to do, but with sorrow 1 fear there are many who do it. 1 fear we have too many Sunday Christians; they will appear very religious w hile at church and during the week we would think they were anything else but professors of religion; this is a stum- ] bling block to the world. 1 have often been told when conversing with friends on the subject of religion to look at such and such a brother; he will lie and cheat and take advantage of his neighbor. I know I am not guilty of that. Often 1 have been thrown in company with professors of religion and listened for hours to their conversation and never hear the subject of religion brought up. They will discuss politics and farming and the fashions of the day and sometimes ridicule their neighbors, brethren and sisters in the church, and never find time to speak for God. 1 will leave this subject for the present and pray for brighter and better times.

If you fall behind in Vbur monthly payments, the lender is entitled to foreclose. Quite simply, he can sell your home in order to recover his money, though in most states you have the right to re-acquire your foreclosed property by paying the mortgage and covering the foreclosure costs. If the home is sold under foreclosure, you would get any cash left over after the loan is paid. (The court will oversee the transaction to protect your rights.) Fortunately, foreclosures on family homes don’t happen often these days, even during financial crunches. Most lenders prefer to work out some arrangement with you rather than foreclose. Your best protection is to keep up mortgage payments. But if you get into a jam, tell the lender right away and see if you can figure out a compromise about payments.

H\ Vino I.KK IK-m«K-n»l SjHi'ial f rtl«*r Mark Twain once wrote. “It is the difference of opinion that makes horse races." In Virginia today, it is the difference of opinion that makes horse racing still a pipe dream. The proponents of racing with pari-mutual betting feel that it would greatly enhance the general prospects of the horse industry, and he a tremendous asset to the state's economy. In Maryland, racing is the third largest industry. Many a Virginia horseman sends his mare to be bred, and later on. to foal in Maryland, to insure the foal’s eligibility for lucrative stakes races there. Organized as "Virginians for Horse Racing”. Virginia's thoroughbred owners and breeders endorsed House Bill 204, an act to establish the Virginia Racing Commission. In 1978. despite their efforts, it was rejected. The opposition, which stemmed largely from the highly-organized Virginia Council of Churches, was not to horse racing per se, but to the so-called horrors of gambling. It was argued that should P-M betting become legalized, there would be increased organized crime, increased invasion of privacy through police activities such as wire-tapping, increased corruption* among public officials, and the encouragement of a get-richquick philosophy by Virginian’s, with the staje’s relying upon betting revenues to provide human services. Opposition's Credibility Weak Study suggests that these arguments may have been based more on preconceived positions than on fact. In an April, 1978, release, the VCC contradicted itself by gating that P-M gambling "is unlikely to provide a financial bonanza for the state." Supporters of the racing bill point out that if parimutuel betting were legalized, a racing commission would be established which would be charged with ultimate regulation and control. In racing states, modern computer technology keeps records on every person associated with their tracks, and each race track employee is fingerprinted. The U. S. Constitution protects the rights of the citizens of Virginia, as in all states. No evidence haj been produced that P-M racing would undermine these rights. As a further protection against corruption, the House Bill specifically warns that no person or his relations, affiliated with the race track, would be permitted to contribute to political campaigns. According to Glenn Petty, executive director of the Virginia Thoroughbred Association, the bill was rejected in 1978 because of the political power wielded by Reverend Jerry Falwell and other “moral majority* religious factions, and tvc.nise of the publication of an article in Spurts Illustrated, right before the vote, charging scandal in racing circles. Virginia Horawnen’a Support Needed Another problem the director claims was the apolitical attitude of Virginia's horsemen, who failed to show up at voting time. There also has been dissension and lack of cooperation within the ranks of its chief supporters. These sand pits are dismayingly familiar in the horse world. If P M racing is ever to become realized in Virginia, the horsemen will first have to find the issue as important as the opponents, and unite. P-M Could Be Economic Asset to State Virginia is indisputably one of the leading producerstates of quality race horses. Its soil is rich in limestone and iron, two nutrients vital to development of bones and tissues in young thoroughbreds. Its countryside of rolling hills has proven ideal for the development of strong muscles. The great Secretariat is a Virginia-bred. Despite this proud history, the remaining large Virginia horse farms are being subdivided with disturbing frequency. In the future, rising transportation costs may make Eastern agricultural land a national asset. P-M racinp would be an economic ineenti\ - lo keep iho. land in its natural state. There would be less reason to subdivide, as holdings could be more profitable as farms rather than as tax shelters. The demand for more race horses could help smaller farms which seldom have "big name” horses. Even a small racing operation supports many people. The business requires highly skilled trainers and exercise riders. knowledgeable owners and breeders, farriers and even equine aenusis. iviucn oi me employment derived from a race track, however, is unskilled manual labor, a force with steadily dwindling job opportunities in the '80’s. There are 5,500 workers on the premises daily at Charles Town, West Virginia. At Charles Town this relatively small track keeps dozens of vendors in business, brings roughly one million visitors to town each year, and maintains profitable motels, stores and restaurants. Local racing provides more than $6 million annually to West Virginia’s state treasury. Apparently crime has not been a problem in that state because of racing. Neither the U.S. Attorney’s office in Wheeling, nor the state racing commission has any record of scandal. It could be asked whether Kentuckians, Pennsylvanians, West Virginians or Marylanders are any more corruptible or corrupted than Virginians because P-M racing is legal in their states. Horae Racing A Virginia Legacy It is interesting to note that horses and racing have long been a part of the Commonwealth’s tradition. Reverend James Blair, founder in 1693 of the College of William and Mary, was an avid racing fan. George Washington was a member of the Alexandria Jockey Club in the days when Virginia boasted 33 race tracks. Nor has there always been an objection to betting: gambling has been legal since the Revolution. The Continental Army was partly financed by a series of lotteries. and the First Congress wanted to pay off the national debt in that way. In both instances it was the father of our country' who purchased the first ticket. The desire to take a chance and win big was not considered abnormal or evil. Pari-mutuel, by definition, implies that the money wagered is pooled and redistributed. Commenting on the current status of the P-M racing effort. Executive Director Petty states, "Late last year the VTA hired a successful and highlyrespected Richmond lobbyist to canvass legislators about the possibilities of creating a bill which would legalize P-M racing on a ‘county option’ basis. This sort of bill would allow the thoroughbred industry to pursue P-M racing without making it a state-wide public issue. Unfortunately, the legislators canvassed were not in favor of this idea, and we surmise that their reluctance was based on the current redistricting battle raging in Virginia, and the fact that controversial ideas are unpopulat at re-election times." According to Petty, should the state referendum route be revisited, a budget of $250500,000 would be required. The economic prognosis for 1982 is decidedly unfavorable to such massive fund-raising. Passage of a referendum on pari-mutuel betting depends entirely on the willingness and ability ot supporters to promote the issue, according to Del. Raymond R. “Andy” Guest. And he's not optimistic. "Certainly those opposed to it w ill be doing all they can to cast aspersions and throw mud on,” Guest said. He's not sure that the time is right now or if it w ill be right any time in the foreseeable future. Last year, promoters of pari-mutuel betting couldn't raise the $250,000 deemed necessary to fund a successful referendum drive. Guest noted. “We must mount a considerable promotional effort to do battle with those who are against it" and that costs money, he emphasized. Guest believes pari-mutuel betting will be good for both the state and the local economies and indirectly will aid efforts to preserve open space and the rural character of this area by making horse breeding and related agricultural enterprises a viable industry. "With the Gold Cup races and all the point-to-point race meets, pari-mutuel will be particularly good for localities here," the Front Royal farmer and businessman concluded. Toll-Free Number For The Disabled Disabled Virginians now can receive rehabilitative information and assistance by dialing toll free 1-800-5525019. As a public service, the Virginia Department f Rehabilitative Services (DRS) this week installed a toll free telephone number as a resource for recipients of its services who are not able to contact their counselors without incurring a toll charge. “We realize that there are a lot of persons with whom we are working who will benefit from this convenience,” said Charles Merritt. DRS assistant commissioner of client services. The Department of Rehabilitative Services, which primarily focuses on helping disabled persons enter into the labor market, also works in related areas, such as housing and transportation. "We encourage persons already enrolled in the DRS program—or anyone who thinks we might be able to help them—to take advantage of the new number.” said Merritt. “If we cannot render assistance, we will try to direct inquiries to the appropriate source.” -Our Rappahannock Heritage Letters To The Editor -Seeking Good Samaritan— To the editor: Chivalry is not dead, nor is the code of the Good Samaritan! This is a happy story, a public thank-you, written in the hope that our Knight of the Road himself will see it. Failing that, perhaps one of his friends will read this and will put turn in touch with us, for such a man must have many friends. Several weeks ago or a day's outing to the mountains with my sister and our parents, our Blazer broke dow n on that winding stretch of road between Sperryville and the Skyline Drive. We came to a grinding halt on a blind curve where the shoulder of the road was low and narrow. With no power whatever, we could only roll backward in order to get as far off the road as possible, with my father meanwhile directing the traffic around us. This was definitely a dangerous parking place! Vehicles of all sorts passed us by. We kept no count, but there were many. Suddenly a pickup truck swung in .front of our Blazer and stopped, and out stepped a tall, handsome stranger! In truth, we were able to appreciate the cinematic appeal of the situation only in retrospect. In the bewilderment and anxiety of the moment, I fear that we scarcely thanked this kind man for his efforts in so carefully checking every possible source of the breakdown. We failed even to ask his name. We understood him to say, however, that he drives a tanker truck out of Fairfax. I will hazard a guess, and hope I am correct in this, that he may drive for Amoco, for I seem to remember noticing an Amoco decal on his shirt. He was on his way home that hot afternoon, but he took time to stop and offer his friendly help. After determining that on-the-spot repairs were impossible, he drove my sister down to a Spenyville service station to see about a wrecker. He will be glad to know that we all got back to Fredericksburg safely that night, for my husband met us in Sperryville with his car. The transmission of the Blazer has been repaired, for such was the problem, and we are out there in the hills as often as possible. We hope to meet our friend again in happier circumstances—and he must drive that route frequently—to thank him properly and in person for coming to our rescue. His time and effort, so freely given, may well have saved our lives. We must also express our gratitude to the pleasant middle-aged couple who stopped to see if they might be of help, and to the towtruck operator who came so promptly. MRS. WILLIAM F. RHODES Fredericksburg It’s Working To the editor: This is the first week of the "job bank”, and though it has only just started, we are encouraged by the response from people looking for jobs, and those w ith jobs to give. This is due in part to the willingness of the Rappahannock News to help to provide a community service, and to those people who have called in their jobs. Thank you; we have already helped to fill our first job! To date, we have signed up persons with experience in carpentry, farm work, domestic work, masonry, orchard work, and babysitting, and we hope to have persons with experience in many other fields. Anyone with job openings—large or small, full or part time—is encouraged ..•vV to call 675-3200 to list their jab with us. AnyQne wishing to fill out an “available to work” form may do so by coming into the\ Welfare Office between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. My thanks to everyone who has participated so far; IT’S WORKING!!! JANICE MOFFETT Jr-. '• Facilities Abused To the editor: In ace the years I have been leaving trash at the dumpster haven south of Huntly on Route 522 1 have never found every container so full that it couldn't hold more. In other words, anyone with a scrap of tidiness could find a receptacle to take his or her trash. Hence the revolting display today of trash dumped anywhere but in the places intended for it makes one wonder what sort of citizen thinks that residence in this county (or this country) entitles him or her to make a disgusting mess of property that not only does not belong to him or her in the slightest degree but is in fact established for the convenience of other citizens who are mindful of what fair and decent use of public facilities means. A Concerned Citizen Sursum Corda Will Not Apply For Grant Funds B> THKRKS4 Hft MM DS K:i|»|»ahanuork >*•%*«. Staff W rilrr In a letter dated July 26, Sursum Corda Building Fund Chairwoman Elizabeth Blubaugh told County Supervisors and Washington Town Council Members that the School and Day Care Center had decided not to apply for state funds. The letter came after Sursum Corda representatives had appeared at county and town meetings to tell government officials of their intent to apply for Virginia block grant funds as soon as the regulations were released. In the letter. Blubaugh said that regulations required that a community center facility had to be owned by a unit of local government, a requirement not previously known by Sursum Corda or local government representatives. Blubaugh said that, although the ownership question could be “positively resolved" under the right conditions, the ownership question “would have required considerable thought and careful planning." The second reason for the school's decision and the one Blubaugh calls “perhaps most significant" was the consistently low ranking of day care and community center projects by the state, regional, and town officials. This low ranking meant that even if Sursum Corda had “prepared a most comprehensive and meritorious proposal, (it) would have system ically (sic) been placed at the bottom of the pile.” Blubaugh closed by saying that Sursum Corda would continue to seek actively sources of both public and private funds for the school’s program, and asked for "moral support, guidance and an understanding of our role in this community.” SCCDenies Workmen’s Compensation Increase The State Corporation Commission (SCO has denied a request by the Virginia Compensation Rating Bureau for a 4.4 percent increase in rates for workmen’s compensation insurance. The Virginia Compensation Rating Bureau is the rate-filing agent for insurance companies writing workmen’s compensation insurance in Virginia. The staff of the Commission’s Bureau of Insurance supported the proposed increase at a hearing before the Commission. The increase was opposed by the Office of the Attorney General, Washington Construction Employers Association, Iron Workers Employers Association of Metropolitan Washington, D. C., and the Virginia Manufacturers Association. In denying the requested increase, the Commission noted that approval of such an increase would result in excessive rates. —From Both Barrels Segregation And Education By GEORGE BOWLES Rappahannock New* ('otrrwpnnHenl The Robb administration, like those which have gone before it for a decade, is under the federal gun because of the slow pace of desegregation in the state's institutes of higher learning. The U. S. Department of Education's regional Office of Civil Rights contends that there are several serious problems with Virginia's desegregation plans. It notes a widening gap in the number of black and white students applying for college entrance, a higher graduation rate among white students, the small number of black students at predominantly white colleges and inferior facilities at the state's two predominantly black colleges. In a letter to OCR, Secretary of Education John Casteen said he shared the concern about the statistical results of the state's desegregation efforts, but denied that a good faith effort to meet goals established in 1978 had not been made. He added he and Gov. Robb were genuinely committed to equality of opportunity through education. But Gov Robb is also committed to another course of action which, at least over the short term, would almost certainly complicate the immediate problem of college desegregation. >v Upgrading Education The rigorous upgrading of education at all levels has been designated as one of the prime objectives of his administration, if not his chief goal. He wants more stringent academic requirements in primary and secondary schools, and he wants both admission to and graduation from colleges and universities made tougner. It does black youngsters no discredit to say that many of them are the products of generations of social and economic deprivation, and in many cases, these deprivations continue. Until a couple of decades ago. a black family's top priority had to be survival in a segregated and whitedominated society. If a young black thought of advancement, that society often turned hostile. There was not much opportunity or incentive in those days for black parents to instill in their children the need to prepare themselves for a rigorous education. Many did. of course, but many more did not. With the coming of the civil rights legislation and desegregation decisions of the 1960s, all that changed. Prodded by the federal government, the nation became involved in a massive game of catch-up ball in an effort to erase three and a half centuries of discriminatory public policy. The job turned out to be infinitely more difficult and complex than anyone thought possible. Cultural gaps - for both white and black - die hard. Improving School Integration In the past, efforts have been made to improve the school integration statistics by relaxing academic standards, busing, social promotions, the imposing of de facto quotas, and a host of other devices. The result of all these may have moved the lines upward a bit on the charts in the OCR offices, but they have not, in and of themselves, produced welleducated men and women. Still, without doubt, improvement has been made. The members of the first generation of black Virginians to grow to maturity in a legally desegregated society are now sending their children into the public school system. For the first time young black parents are not subjected to the cultural restraints, imposed by law, which shackled their parents. The stage could well be set for the next step, and for important progress. Governor’* Proposal That next step is Gov. Robb's proposal to again put the schools in the business of educating young people • all young people - beginning at grade one and continuing through a college degree. It involves encouraging their progress through a challenge to achieve, and not through guaranteeing it, willy nilly, by automatic advancement. And it involves producing. on graduation day, an educated person ready to assume a responsible role in a competitive world based on his or her personal qualifications, and not- on quotas. Civil libertarians probably won't care much for this approach because it will take time. But if our goal is an integrated and balanced society, over the long haul this is the way to go about paving the way for it. The OCR, of course, should keep on prodding. But the prodders should remember that just because a black kid sits beside a white kid in a classroom, it doesn't mean we have achieved an integrated society. We still have a 350-yearold cultural and attitudinal chasm to bridge before that result comes about. But a genuine, honest-to-God education for both blacks and whites is an essential part of bridging it. Thus, while the governor's goal of tougher academic standards could make it harder for him to comply with OCR's immediate integration requirements, he is, 1 think, taking a giant step toward solving a far larger problem. That is, the final bridging of those chasms which keep the segregationist impulse alive. Mill Excavation Planned The remains of an historic mill on the South Fork of the Shenandoah River will be the focus of the Thunderbird Museum's one-week Archeological Field School during the week of August 17. The mill and a house were among the structures destroyed by a large flood more than 100 years ago on what is now the grounds of the Thunderbird Museum A Archeological Park.

Minimum Competency Continued from Pace 1) measures the ability of students to oerform fundamental tasks in ‘real life/ ” Estabrook said that his objections to the minimum competency tests had to do with their design and that he “very strongly supports accountability in education.” Also taking the March tests were some 7,000 eleventh graders, more than 1,200 seniors and some 4,700 students identified as educationally handicapped. Juniors and seniors taking the tests were not typical of their classes. Many were transfer students, others had failed one or both tests previously and some were falling behind in the completion of units of credit required for graduation. There presently are no data on Rappahannock juniors and seniors test performance. Statewide, handicapped students, whose rate of success continues to be lower than that of students in regular programs, also proved more successful in readhing this year than last and less successful in mathematics. The percentage passing both tests was 36.9, 2.3 percent below the 1981 figure. State Department of Education personnel emphasize that competency tests, initiated at the direction of the General Assembly, are designed to measure practical reading and mathmatics skills, such as the ability to complete forms and applications and to keep a'check book. They are not measures of general pcadeniic. ,proficiency Achieved in^, completing the fequirecb uqits or credit pecessar* ter grajjua : Since Watery, 1981, Virginia students have been required to pass both tests to i be eligible for a regular high school diploma. Educationally handicapped I students who do not qualify for the regular diploma may receive a special IEP j (Individualized Education Program) diploma if they have met all other requirements for graduation. Handicapped students who pass the competency tests and complete the required units of credit are eligible to receive the regular diploma. Other forms of certification may be awarded at the discretion of local school boards to students who aren’t handicapped and who have met all graduation requirements other than passing the competency tests. Estabrook said that, in the past year, no Rappahannock student had been unable to graduate because of failure to pass the minimum comp- ] tency requirements. He pointed out that, after the initial testing in the tenth grade, students have several more opportunities to take the tests.

SPORTS Rappahannock Wins At Middleburg By SHKRIO H Will I. Die-hard followers of Middleburg polo received a pleasant surprise Sunday afternoon at the Phipps Field. Not only were they treated to a fast, exciting game, but some previously overlooked technicalities were made right: flag boys watched the goals, the regulation two umpires were on the field, a good-sized crowd lined the sidelines and match even started on time! the match even started on time! Unfortunately, the home team struggled to come from behind and build up a twogoal lead only to have the visitors from Rappahannock come back in the final seven minutes to win 6-5. The first chukker set the tone for the rest of the contest as the players leaped immediately into the fray, racing up and down the field. Five-goal Argentinian professional player Marcus Bignoli broke the ice with a tally tor Rappahannock. A successful conversion on a No. 3 penalty shot by Dick Riemenschneider put Middleburg on the board in the second period before Harmen VanDer Woude. Jr., broke the tie, putting the visitors back on top 2-1 as the bell rang. It was a pleasure to watch Rob Rinehard for the home squad pairing off against Bignoli, as both are fine players. Bignoli was very much on the offensive in the third, while Rinehart couldn't miss defensively, making four impressive saves right in the goal mouth. Neither team managed to score in the hard-fought chukker leaving it 2-1 at the half. Scoring erupted after the break, equaling the tallying to that point.

Rinehart’s hot streak continued into the fifth chukker as he dumped in two more to make it 5-3 in a Blue-dominated period characterized by numerous beautiful long driving shots. The visitors refused to back off, taking over the exciting final period. It took Bignoli until the middle of the chukker to narrow the gap to 5-4. The suspense grew until Georgie Greenhalgh, not having a particularly auspicious day, redeemed himself with the tying shot a minute and a half before the bell. With only 30 seconds left, young Fannon got away to tap in the winning goal, leaving Rappahannock on top 6-5. Rinehart led the scoring with his four points, while John Gulick and the injured Bill Fannon handled the umpiring.

Planners Vote Down Amendment (Continued from Page 1 proval...If you meet next Wednesday, you’ll still be within the 90 davs.” According to Baumgardner, the range amendment does not have to be readvertised if the commissioners change the proposal. “The basic amendment remains intact,” he maintained. "I don’t see how we can put this thing together within the 90 day limit,” Estes responded. Waiver Proposed Baumgardner proposed asking the applicants, Robert and Ruth Bowers of Amissville, for a formal waiver of the time limit. We haven t drug our feet...and the first submission of the amendment wasn’t satisfactory at all,” commissioner Newbill Miller said. He described the amended proposal incorporating changes suggested by the NRA expert as "totally different from the original.” Miller said the proposal from the special committee includes information which he doesn’t understand. He added that the commission has written to Fort Benning, Ga., asking the Army for data on range safety but that an answer has not yet been received. "I’m concerned that nobody outside the range gets shot or killed," said Fannon, voicing worry over the possibilities of bullets escaping from the range itself. Estes countered that the NRA expert had supplied designs of ranges which can be expected to contain all projectiles. “1 don’t think we should be rushed into this,” said commissioner Werner Krebser. "This is the first time we’ve even seen the new amendments,” he said, adding that he wanted to receive the information from the Army before proceeding. Expert In Orange Luke interjected that the man who designed most military shooting ranges is a retired Army colonel who now lives in neighboring Orange County and volunteered to contact the man and ask him to speak with the planning commissioners. Changes incorporated in the proposed ordinance have changed it considerably compared to what was advertised for public hearing in the Rappahannock News, responded Fannon. “The people of Rappahannock County should have an opportunity to comment (on the revised proposal),” he maintained. Miller said he would be prepared to vote on the revised amendment 30 days after receiving the Army’s range information and hearing from the retired colonel in Orange. "I'm worried about the credibility of the planning commission ... The supervisors are expecting us to make some kind of recommendation (before the expiration of the 90 day deadline this Friday),” Fannon countered. He pointed out that the ordinance doesn’t provide for the planning commission to accept even a voluntary waiver of the time limit. “My clients are willing to meet you half-way," Luke replied. He noted that state law doesn’t specifically require the commissioners to make a recommendation within 90 days; it only requires that they report to the supervisors within that time limit. "That's right.” Baumgardner agreed, adding that he'd just read the code reference before coming to Wednesday’s session. Luke continued that the report could incorporate the waiver from his clients as well as Miller’s suggestion that the commissioners act on the amendment 30 days after getting the Army’s report and hearing from the retired range designer in orange. “You’d have complied with the law by reporting to the supervisors," he said. "With the information we have available to us right now, my motion to recommend denial stands," stated Fannon. “And my second stands,” Estes added. The vote to recommend that the shooting range amendment, as advertised in the Rappahannock News, be denied passed 3-1 with Miller opposed and Krebser, Fannon and Estes in favor. “Let’s give him a list of what we want,” suggested Miller, referring to Luke's offer to collect any information sought by the planning commissioners. The list includes (1) a sound demonstration of 80 decibels, (2) data from the Army on firing range safety requirements. (3) schedule of a joint meeting with the retired Army colonel from Orange and suggestions from Richard McNear, Fauquier’s professional planner who is working with the planning Wheat Prices May Increase (This is the way Virginia Farm prices looked to the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services on Friday. The Department offers it to farmers with the warning that no one can predict prices and be right all the time.) Wheat There may be a slight seasonal strengthening of wheat prices during the Miller Bull In Futurity J. Newbill Miller of Washington, has entered one of Ginger Hill's prize Angus bulls in the All American Angus Futurity, which will be held in Louisville, Ky. August 1-3. 1982 marks the 35th year for the Futurity and total premiums at the show will exceed $20,000. From all entries, a grand champion bull, grand champion female and grand champion cow-calf will be selected. From the three grand champions, a supreme champion is named. The All American Angus Futurity has long been known as the show which opens the competitive season for Angus cattle. Breeders who are successful in competition at the Futurity often lay . the groundwork and reputation for subsequent successful wins throughout the remainder of the year. weeks to come in spite of the large amount of grain stocks on hand. Harvesting activity has passed its peak in most of the major producing areas in the southern half of the nation, with wet conditions causing problems in some localities. For the U. S., the July 1 winter wheat production forecast is a record high 2.12 billion bushels, one percent more than the previous record high set last year. Virginia’s production is forecast at 13.7 million bushels, 20 percent less than in 1981. In the U. S., old crop wheat stored in all positions on June 1, 1982 totaled 1.16 billion bushels, 17 percent and 28 percent larger, respectively, than 1981 and 1980.
