Rappahannock News, August 26, 1982

Since 1877 12 Pages WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA Phone 675-3349 25* 33rdTEAR, NO. 34 tISPS 45558C Thursday, August 26,1982 Board Moves Ahead On Shop/Office At a special meeting held Friday at superintendent Robert Estabrook’s residence following a “get acquainted" cook-out with Rappahannock’s new school teachers, the county school board agreed to proceed with refining cost estimates on the proposed combination school board office and vehicle maintenance shop. According to Estabrook, the board was unanimous in accepting a recommendation from its special studycommittee to visit several dual purpose, preengineered metal buildings in the area. That afternoon, the board members and administrators stopped at Atkins Ford, Rosner Chevrolet-Oldsmobile and North American Engines, all in Culpeper, and came awhy with renewed commitment to the proposal for a combination use. metal building. ‘‘They want to move ahead, to get this going as fast as possible," Estabrook said, adding that the school board members are "very resolved" to get a building up. "But we need to work out something at a cost both boards (the supervisors and the school board) can live with." Keeping that aim in mind, the board agreed to get more detailed information from an individual affiliated with Butler Buildings who gave member Nelson Lane the original estimates on which the $90,000 allocation for construction included in the current budget is based. The board members also decided to ask local contractor Bob Metcalf, with whom they had met on an earlier occasion to discuss the proposed buiding, to come back again. In addition, the. superintendent was directed to get information on guarantees and package deals offered by different companies dealing in metal buildings. He was asked as well to investigate a dismantled metal building that belongs to Baughan Construction in Luray and that might be available, according to information from former board member A.Y. Stokes. When all this information is compiled, F.stabrook said, the board will reconvene at another special meeting to go through the original blue prints for the combination building, room-by-room, with Guy Foster. Foster, a Sperryville resident active in both school-related and other community programs, has a background in building materials and will assist the board drawing up specifications for the project. By deciding on materials and then specifications on a room-by-room basis, "we’re not going to send out specs (tor bid) that will come back at $300,000 or some other ungodly figure." the superintendent said. Attacking without an architect, the board plans on using the report prepared by M ose 1 y - He n n i ng , architectural firm from Richmond, as a guideline for the construction project, Estabrook added. Job Center Matches Openings With Jobless Rappahannock's unofficial employment center is a summer success story. Begun last month with permission from the State Welfare Department in Richmond by Janice Moffett, food stamp eligibility worker with the Rappahannock welfare office, the center offers the county's jobless a place to look for work and the county’s employers a place to find workers. It's a clearing house for opportunity. Since Moffett inaugurated her experiment, she’s filled eight jobs from her list of unemployed. "Not all major jobs but jobs—some were temporary at the start but they’ve gone on to become full-time because they worked out so well," she explained. “I had one employer come by the office just to tell me how pleased she was with the person I referred to her." Moffett has been able to use her experience in social services through the job service as well. "One individual came in to find a job and I realized that he was eligible for rehabilitative services. He’s now been referred for possible enrollment in a training program," she reported. In addition, she has sent eight job seekers to Warrenton’s job shop wheTe they will be interviewed and evaluated for participation in a federally (Continued on Page 3) Pole Falls On Worker n i-7-vear-uiu utility company worker from Rileyville was injured last week when ropes used to erect a power line pole snapped. Kevin Smelser from the Potomac Edison office in Luray was assisting with installation of a new power line on Friday, August 20, working about 200 yards into the woods off Route 627 near Washington when the accident occurred around noon on J-nday, August IV. According to rescue squadsman Steve Critzer, the tailing pole clipped Smelser’s left shoulder, knocked him iu the ground and then landed on top of the utility worker’s left knee, leaving an l'/i inch diameter puncture wound. No bones were broken, however. Smelser was transported by the Washington Rescue Squad to Page County Hospital for treatment. — Rappahannock New* Photo/T.

The 7th District is one of 20-some arenas where the Citizens Partv will do battle, pitting Davis Toscano of Charlottesville against incumbent Republican J. Kenneth Robinson and Democratic challenger Lindsey Dorrier for a House of Representatives seat. The former instructor at both UVa and the University of Maryland’s branches on overseas military bases doesn't sound like the typical office seeker in traditionally conservative Virginia. His position and the position of the Citizens Party on most major issues differs dramatically from that of his opponents in the race for the U.S. House seat. As examples. Toscano proposes an end to government subsidies for the nuclear power industry and more support for solar energy development. vigorous environmental protection, a bilateral freeze on testing, production and deployment of nuclear weapons, maintenance of social programs for the needy, an end to draft registration, termination of "wasteful and unnecessary military programs" such as the B-l bomber (which he maintains will be out-dated as soon as it is on-line) and the MX missile and federal assistance to small businesses and family farms. Not only are Toscano's views different but they’re apt to be unpopular with a significant number of voters in the 7th District, judging by the results of a poll conducted recently by Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson. The majority of the 17,500 constituents who responded to the Republican incumbent’s questionnaire want to see a reduction in federal price support programs that aid farmers (61.4 percent) and they favor increasing defense preparedness, even if it means less money for domestic programs (63.3 percent). Asked “do you favor adoption of a U.S. freeze on nuclear weapon development, even if Soviets have superiority in some nuclear areas?". 64.2 percent answered no. In an indication that 7th District voters are not strongly behind welfare services, the most popular answer to reducing shortages in Social Security funds was to remove welfare-type benefits from the system, a response that was endorsed by 40.2 percent of those who filled out the questionnaire. Toscano is no starry-eyed optimist. He didn't need Robinson's poll results to know that many of the Citizens Party's proposals are beyond the mainstream of political thought in Virginia. He recognizes that the odds are slim on his winning the 7th District seat in November. But he has his eye as much on future Novembers as on election clay. 1982. Building The Party “We're using this campaign to build the Citizens Party outside of Charlottesville.’- Toscano explained during a stop last week on his swing through Rappahannock County. "Our state headquarters are in Charlottesville and we’re strong there." he said, noting that the Citizens Party candidate pulled 30 percent of the vote in a recent local contest. "1 believe that in the next few years, we’ll win a local election—for the House of Delegates or for the State Senate." The Citizen's Party is not a Virginia phenomina. Organized in 1979 as an alternative to the Democrats and Republicans, the party ran Barry Commoner for President in 1980 and this 'dfllUI > — Rappahannock N*»w* Pholo/D. Huirhinann CITIZENS PARTY CANDIDATE David Toscano carried his campaign to Rappahannock last week where he explained his positions and policies to Marie Davis and other Washington workers and residents. November, will field about 20 congressional candidates in races around the country. According to Toscana, the formation of the Citizens Party grew out of the failure of both major parties to address fundamental issues. He touched on several of those issues in an interview last Monday with the Rappahannock News? Two Percent Less The Reagan administration is "falling all over itself to give tax breaks to large corporations," counting on this approach to encourage companies to invest their savings, thereby creating new jobs, Toscano said. It hasn't worked, he maintained. “Corporations will invest two percent less this year than the year before, despite the big tax breaks." Instead of following Reagan’s thrust of extending a helping hand to the corporative giants. Toscano said, the Citizens Party proposes assistance instead to small corporations and communityowned and employee-owned companies in order to give communities and workers more of a voice in economic issues. According to the Citizens Party candidate. both Democratic and Republican administrations have encouraged large corporation to move overseas, "taking American jobs with them,” by allowing multi-national corporations a tax credit here on taxes paid in other countries. That tax break to big business costs $20 billion he said, on top of the tremendous job loss which occurs when a company relocates outside U.S. borders. "Congress is effectively subsidizing the movement of American jobs overseas," Toscano concluded. He called for an end to the tax credit for taxes paid overseas and adoption of legislation which would (Continued on Page 3) Amissville resident Olga Fontaine that the school board had violated the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act by refusing to release certain documents. In the August 23 letter to Estabrook, Baumgardner, as Commonwealth's attorney, asked for copies of the information sought by the News and Fontaine. “I shall, upon receipt of such information, deliver same to the Rappahannock News and Ms. Fontaine,” he informed the superintendent. Baumgardner also pointed out to Estabrook and the school board that the Virginia Code specifies that FOI regulations are to be "liberally construed to promote an increased awareness by all persons of government activities and afford every opportunity to citizens to witness the operations of government.” Adding emphasis with underlines, the commonwealth's attorney quoted from the Code that "Any exception from applicability shall be narrowly construed in order that no thing which should be made public may be hidden from any person." Request Denied At an August 4 school board meeting, the Kap pahannock News requested a copy of an architectural program and budget cost analysis prepared by the Richmond firm of MoselyHenning in connection with construction of a new combination vehicle maintenance and school board office building. The board contracted for the work at a price of $2,500 and the report was presented and discussed at some length in open session and later in an executive meeting. The request for a copy of the report was denied. The News asked for the denial in writing and was told that conformation would come from the school board's Harrisonburg attornev. Phillip Stone. The grounds cited by Stone in a letter dated August 16 and signed by the superintendent of schools specified that the architectural report was exempt from FOI requirements because it (1) qualified as working papers of a chief executive officer of a political subdivision and (2) related to condition, acquisition or use of real property and investing of public funds where competition or bargaining is involved.

RAAC Seeks Input A general meeting of the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community has been called for Monday, August 30, at 7:30 p.m. in the courthouse. RAAC was born when a group of interested people began to look around for ways, means and a place for promotion of cultural events, community activities and the arts, both performing and creative. From that initial interest came a board of directors which was given a mandate to organize a formal group. The board created a nonprofit corporation with bylaws and constitution. “We were asked to do this. Now if people in the county are interested, they need to come to Monday's meeting and help plan the direction RAAC will take in the future." explained one RAAC director. Members of the RAAC need to endorse what the directors have done to date and fill vacancies on the board as well. A key point that also must be addressed is whether RAAC will try to buy, build or rent its own facility and where that facility will be located. RAAC's directors urge all members and a ns one interested in the organization's goals to attend Monday's general meeting. Holmes Estate Trial Tension Climbed As Case Wound To A Close Part 3: Last Witnesses For The Plaintiffs. Rebuttal, Final Arguments And Verdict Temperatures and tension climbed as the plaintiffs wound down their case at the Holmes Estate trial in the hot and humid closing days of July. One window air conditioner in the stuffy upstairs courtroom blew a fuse and the unit next to the jury box saw only part-time duty as it was flicked off during testimony and turned back on at every bench conference between the rival attorneys and Judge Shore Robertson. Witnesses and lawyers i both broke down, bending under the strain as the conclusion of the three-week trial approached. When court reconvened Saturday, July 24, after an afternoon break. Mallard Alonzo Hayes, a welder who did work for Holmes and fished at his farm almost every week, said the colonel told him he’d brought a house for Nancy Natt and had given it to her. In 1978 and ’79, Hayes said, the colonel “acted like he didn't know me sometimes and then he’d come around and he’d figure out who it was.” He acknowledged that Holmes had nicknamed him “Jake." not his regular nickname. "Don't ask me why cause I don’t know. I guess he forgot my name or something." When court was called back to session Monday morning. Bud Tischler, breaking down repeatedly in tears, told the court that he and Col. Holmes were close friends, “as close as two nongay men could be. He was the best friend I ever had.” According to Tischler, the colonel would call once or twice a week. In 1972 or 1973, after a silence of several weeks. Holmes telephoned, his voice very weak, and asked for help, Tishler testified, describing Holmes as "very confused...His speech was durred and he didn't seem to <now what he was doing." Taken From Nursing Home Tishler said he and his wife Helen, assisted by Betty Paleologos, helped the colonel secure his sister Ruth’s release from a nursing home in 1974. Following her release, the Tischlers took Ruth Holmes to her brother's orchard in Flint Hill "practically every other week,” he said. The foursome spent holidays—Christmas, Thanksgiving, birthdays, etc.—together, Tischler added. From 1974-78, he said. Col. Holmes refered to Nielsen as his doctor on several occasions but never as his friend and physician. Tischler repeated what other witnesses said; that the colonel mentioned leaving his Millwood property to Homer Jenkins and a house and lot to Nancy Natt. According to Tischler, the colonel also promised his wife Helen anything she wanted from his house with the rest of his personal furnishings to go to a museum and his stamp collection to go to Georgetown University. In addition, he said, the colonel indicated that Henry Jenkins t and Tischler were to he coexecutors in his will to manage a trust fund for his sister Ruth. When the Tischlers left for California. Bud Tischler said, the colonel begged them to move in with him instead and on November 2, 1979, called and asked them to come “and spend his last days with him." The colonel's mental condition from then on varied from time to time and from day to day, the witness testified. Home to Die Tischler said he read a letter from Dr. Neilsen or someone in charge at Bethesda lhal specified "it the colonel didn't lake his medication, don't insist on it; no doctor should be called; no emergency treatment given to him; that he was home to die." Neilsen came to the farm on Saturday. November 10. and when informed that Holmes hadn’t paid bills for utilities and nursing care, Tischler said, the doctor said, “Well, if the colonel doesn't want to write checks for that, tell him we'll send him to a nursing home." Since the colonel was “deathly afraid" of nursing homes, Tischler explained, he told Neilsen he couldn't convey that message. "Neilsen said in that case, he would swear in court that the colonel was insane; that he was insane while he was in the hospital and that he would get a court order giving me power of attorney so I could in fact pav the hills." Holmes had told him his will would he in the first file in his filing cabinet. Bud Tischler continued, hut when the filing cabinet was checked following the funeral, that file, labeled "Bud and Helen Tischler," was empty. Under cross examination. Tischler admited that at (Continued on Page 5)

WHILE OUT GATHERING tree limbs, Homer E. East of Flint Hill encountered this rattlesnake which measured 51 inches and had 10 rattles. East killed this snake by beating it with a tree limb and two weeks later he shot another rattlesnake that had arrived on his porch. In that instance East was alerted to the presence of the snake by his dogs yelping. Although the second snake was longer, measuring 51 inches, it had only 8 rattles.

He wrote this letter describing a run-in with timberback rattlers to his friends. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Pawley of Rock Mills.) I am on a remote mountaintop in Highland County, Va., alone, but things are happening faster than I can write about them. It is scorching hot and a storm is forming in the valley below—similar to yesterday’s weather. I write this sitting in the semi-shade of tablemountain pines. I am writing to you about a little advenure I had this morning, since it involved some critters we recently had a discussion about. This mountain is a long, knife-like rock outcropping. There are only a few possible approaches to the ridgetop. Coming up this morning, 1 missed the approach 1 was looking for, and continued north on the side of the ridge in hopes of finding another. 1 eventually did get to the top but was a third of a mile north of where I wanted to be, so proceeded to walk along the top through scrub oaks, pines, laurels, and blueberries on the rocks. I was getting impatient and tired of forcing my way through brush and jumping from rock to rock, and was walking somewhat faster than I should have been in this terrain. A sudden loud buzzing stopped me dead in mv tracks. It was a timber rattler, coiled under a rock in front of me. Only its vibrating tail poked out in the sunlight. In the shadow under the rock I could see its head peering at me menacingly. Fortunately, the snake had warned me before I was within a dangerous distance—it was 5 feet ahead, right where I would have walked. The warning was so loud, sudden, and unmistakable that a gun blast would not have stopped me quicker. I jumped backwards and immediately looked around for another. Rattlesnakes frequently travel in pairs. I was still shaking a little and took time to examine the animal. Its piercing rattling was incessant. It was probably about tw^ and a half feet long. It remained under the rock, motionless except for the approximately 10 rattles on the tip of its tail. 1 began searching for a way around the creature. This ridge is extremely narrow and I didn’t have much choice where I walked in this area. After a while I July and August are snake months in Rappahannock, judging from the experiences of Bob Bridges at his Reality Farm in Gid Brown Hollow. Since coming to the county seven years ago. Bridges has killed more than 100 snakes, mostly copperheads and usually in the mid-summer. He’s become accustomed to Snake Days Here Again necessary to get a little too close for comfort to spot the differences. The best method to determine whether a snake is poisonous is to learn to recognize patterns and body form—something that can be done at a distance. doing outside chores with a hoe or rifle within easy reach in case he hears a suspicious rattle, hiss or slither. But even by his standards, July 31 brought an all-star reptile revue. That Saturday morning while working at his barns. Bridges came across two rattlers which he dispatched with a club and a gun. The female was pregnant, carrying at least 20 baby rattlers. The same day he shot three copperheads found beside the Bridges’ mountain top swimming pool. Again, the female was about ready to repopulate the area with baby copperheads. With snakes sunning themselves on rocks in Rappahannock's hollows and hillsides, it’s time to review a few points on recognizing poisonous varieties. The snakes killed by Bob Bridges represent the only poisonous species found in the area of Virginia: the timber rattlesnake and the copperhead. Of the total 36 species and subspecies of snakes in the entire Commonwealth, only four are poisonous. In identifying poisonous varieties, remember: —all poisonous snakes in Virginia are pit vipers; that is, they possess a heat-sensing pit located a little below the mid-point between eye and nostril on each side of the head. Nonpoisonous snakes do not have this pit. —poisonous snakes have a single row of scales going clear across the underside of the forward portion of the tail. Nonpoisonous snakes have two rows down the entire tail. —eyes of poisonous snakes have vertically elliptical pupils. The pupil is round in nonpoisnous snakes. ID From A Distance The problem in relying on pupil shape and scales on the underside of the tail for identification is that it’s The northern copperhead found in Rappahannock County has hourglass patterns of dark or reddish brown on a background of light brown to reddish gray. The head is usually a coppery color and the snake has dark spots along the sides of the belly. The young, born alive from mid-August to early October, look like adults but with brighter colors and a sulphur-yellow tip on the tail. Copperheads are generally eight to 48 inches long. They’re t >und almost everywhere rodents are found—barns, lumber piles, sawdust piles, berry thickets, rock ledges, edges of fields and haystacks. Some hibernate in the mountains as does the tim ser rattler. The timber rattlesnake is found only in mountainous portions of the state. It has two color phases: the black phase where the head and posterior one-third of the body are black with incomplete chevrons and black saddles almost obscured and the yellow phase where the head has little black pigment with black or brown saddles and chevrons evident against a yellow background. The tail is black in both phases. The young, born alive in August and September, are patterned like the yellow phase but less brightly colored. Timber rattlers grow from 10 to 60 inches long and hibernate in rock outcroppings in winter. In summer, the snakes scatter to such areas as second-growth clearings, berry patches and orchards. Snake Bite The most important thing to remember if bitten by a poisonous snake is to stay calm. Increased activity will only speed the spread ot poison through the body, according to Dr. Werner Krebser of the Rappahannock Medical Clinic. Heart Attack Victims Sought For Research A unique opportunity is available to eligible persons nationwide to participate in a program supported by the National Institutes of Health. The HyperlipidemiaAtherosclerosis Study is designed to explore the possibility of reversing the disease (atherosclerosis) which causes life threatening heart attacks. Participants must: —be age 29 through 64, —have had only one heart attack in their lifetime (suffered within the past four and a half years), —be free of stroke, —be free of diabetes, —not have had heart surgery. Transportation and lodging for participants and an interested family member are free of cost. The East Coast Center (Maine to South Carolina) is located in Philadelphia, PA. Anyone interested is urged to contact the hyperlipidemia Study. Call, toll-free 1-800362-5244 (Pennsylvania only) and out-of-state 1-800-3451057. The venom of Virginia’s poisonous snakes is primarily hemotoxic; it destroys blood and lymph cells. This process generally takes a little time and the snake bite victim can usually reach medical help before any major damage is done. “You're in good shape if you can get to the hospital in a half hour to an hour," Dr. Krebser said. He noted that the speed with which the venom takes effect depends on how many times the victim was bitten, the location of the bite, how long it has been since the snake last struck and other factors. Dr. Krebser suggested that the reptile be brought to the hospital if possible to determine positively if it's poisonous and to what species it belongs. He added, however, that universal antivenom effective against all types of poisonous snakes is available. He advised against "do-ity ourself" emergency snake bite first aid unless the first aider knows how to incise and apply suction, noting that otherwise the effort can do more harm than good. But the patients who are far from transportation and professional medical help, “The Snakes of Virginia” gives the following measures: 1. Make absolutely certain it w as a poisonous snake that bit you. 2. Stay calm and do not drink alcohol. 3. Make a longitudinal incision 1-8 to 1-4 inch long and 1-4 inch deep at the site of the bite with a sterile blade. Do not make multiple incisions. 4. Apply suction at this point with a suction bulb or with the mouth if there are no sores or ulcers. Steps three and four are of little value if not done within the first 30 minutes after a bite. Snake bites should not be iced and neither should tourniquets be applied to restrict the spread of venom. “That will concentrate the venom even more," Krebser said, adding that this concentration will kill muscles and skin and result in an injury that resembles a deep burn. dropped down to the left of the snake and cautiously proceeded southward, always watching for a second rattler. Then I saw it. It was monstrous, stretched out on my chosen pathway, about 10 feet in front of me, motionless and silent. "My God!” I said aloud. “My CJod!” I repeated several times. It was long and fat, and quintessential^ evil. I could see the slits that were its pupils, its face puffed with venom, its body swollen with mammalian prey. It was easy to read malice into its every aspect and motion. Yet 1 was sure that its motion towards me was not malicious. Tongue flickering, it started to crawl obliquely towards me. I backed away a few steps, which put me uncomfortably close to the first rattler, which was still buzzing; in fact, its buzzing seemed louder. Then I saw the object of the second snake’s movements; Poking above the blueberry bushes, just a little to my right, was the vibrating rattle of a third snake! 1 could only see its tail, sticking up through the foliage. I was in disbelief. It seemed I was surrounded by serpents. Again I backed off, so I could keep an eye on the first snake, and get a better look at the third. Number three was a little smaller than number one, a little yellow coil of fiery evil laying in the hot sun. Number two deliberately crawled over to it, and jerkily pushed its way on top of it, then both snakes lay still except for the rattling. The big one, by crawling sideways, had allowed me room to pass. From there, every step I took was carefully chosen, only aftei scanning the brush and rocks for snakes. I probably didn’t walk more than 5 or 6 step* per minute. Storms are gathering all around and I'll have to retreat to my campsite. . 1 hope you all are well and I’ll see you in. two weeks. Dark. You can call this “Happy to Be Here.” It rained intermittently all afternoon. I'm back at the campsite now. writing by the light of a little fire which is an effective mosquito repellent. The woods are dark, but the glade next to me is still a bright spot. I can peer across it through the bunched fronds of jungle-like cinnamon ferns. In the distance, a deer is snorting. Earlier today. I found a deer antler that had been shed, way up on the roughest of the talus slopes. I'm surprised that a deer, on its tiny hooves, would cross that rocky country. Wood thrushes are singing and barred owls are calling from far away. A peaceful night, with the arhythmic dripping of water from the wet trees. This little fire is good company on a starless night.

Toscano Offers Alternatives (Continued from Page 1) require plants planning on relocating abroad to give prior notification to the communities where they are currently situated as much as two years in advance. “That way, the communities and the workers can plan what THEY are going to do when a plant closes,’’ Toscano explained. In addition, he called for enactment of legislation to require corporations who want to relocate out of the U.S. to first “demonstrate that they can’t make it where they are. That's often not the case.” The decision to move overseas is frequently the result of a corporation seeking to up its profit margin say from seven to 15 percent, according to Toscano. "A community and its workers have the right to demand certain responsible behavior on the part of a corporation.” he said. Uranium Issue Toscano is sharply critical of what he sees as the federal government's encouragement of uranium mining, an issue that's assuming critical importance to Virginians. That encouragement, he said, comes from two sources: continued build-up of nuclear warheads and subsidies of nuclear power. The Citizens Party candidate reported that out of every $1 spent for nuclear power. 32 cents is paid by the federal government. "That amounted to $40 billion over the last 20 years, a subsidy that’s been supported by Congressman Robinson," Toscano said. He maintained that over the long haul, the nation would be better off to move in the direction of conservation, “photo-voltaics (small solar cells) and solar power in a big way" to meet its energy needs. He pointed to still unsolved problems of what to do with waste products from nuclear power generation, adding that Virginia is being considered as a hazardous waste disposal site. “Who wants it dumped in our back yard?” he demanded. As a result of Reagan administration cuts, he charged, “the Environmental Protection Agency is so underfunded that it can't develop and issue standards and guidelines to regular uranium mining. And at the same time that Virginia is getting ready to start the process to consider allowing uranium mining in the state. Congress is considering a bill to restrict uranium imports, Toscano noted. “We have a surplus of uranium now but if the restrictions are adopted, that surplus will be whittled down and that will put pressure on Virginia to agree to mining.” Toscano also noted that Congressman Robertson supports legislation that would take away the rights of a locality to determine whether or not transport and disposal of hazardous wastes should be prohibited within its boundaries. In addition, the 7th District Congressman also endorsed legislation to allow the federal government to override state controls on fungicides and pesticides, a position Robinson took in response to lobbying from the big chemical companies, according to the Citizens Party candidate. Robinson stresses his record of service to his constitutents “but his policies hurt those same constituents," Toscano said.

"Right now, we have 45 nuclear warheads for every major soviet city,” Toscano said, noting that the U.S. has 16,000 warheads in its strategic arsenal and an additional 20,000 spread around the world. “Enough is enough,” he eamphsized, recalling that former Secretary of Defense Robert McNarmara held that 400 warheads would provide an effective deterent. In addition to support for a nuclear freeze, Toscano voiced opposition to registration for the draft. "Anytime there's a draft, there's a war.” As to the concept of a winnable nuclear war, “that should scare everyone,” he maintained. The administration's insistance that a nuclear war can be won and the push toward civil defense measures are “going to make this a more unstable world.” Toscano cautioned. High Military Spending Right now, attention on the economy is focused on high interest rates, Toscano said. “But in a few months, we're going to see inflation creeping up again.” he warned. Toscano maintained that high inflation is partially the result of the government spending too much on the military in an output of dollars that produces no marketable products. “How many people buy a tank? We have too many dollars in the economy chasing too few goods.” He proposed that government spending be directed instead toward energy conservation projects, and solar development mass transit, environmental protection, education, housing and health care. That type of spending provides jobs and products, thereby lessening the inflation rate, Toscano said. Reagan administration policies. supported by Congressman Robinson, have resulted in a "redistribution of wealth away from family farms and small businesses to the large corporations, away from social services and to the military, away from middle and low income people and to the rich,” Toscano charged. Family Farm* Defended "The U. S. family farm, the most productive agricultural unit in the world, is under attack—from high interest rates, corporate agribusiness and federal policies. 1 favor more liberal extension of credit to family farms through the Farmers’ Home Administration, the establishment of regional agricultural banks, price supports to ensure family farm income rather than provide subsidies to corporate farmers and a democratization of the USDA to make it more responsive to the needs of farmers and citizens," the Citizens Party candidate said. Commenting on the Reagan tax cut, Toscano maintained that savings to low and middle income people had been more than balanced by Social Security increases. “It’s going to make the deficit higher. The Reagan tax cut is going to cost $748 billion over the next five years and that money is going to have to be made up some way. One way is to borrow money and that widens the deficit.” The way the tax cut stands, it benefits the rich, Toscano maintained. As an alternative, he proposed capping the cut at $700. the savings on an income of $40,000. Then individuals who make more than $40,000 will still only get a $700 reduction in their tax bill. "That would save $20 billion in the first year. That’s one-fifth the deficit. It's not the best of all possible worlds but it would give people some extra money.” Toscano said. The underdog in the 7th District race maintains that the Reagan administration’s economic program is a dismal failure as measured by the highest unemployment rate in 40 years, high interest rates and the highest business failure rate for *ry year since the Depression. “And I don’t see the Democrats even trying to come up with alternatives,” Toscano stressed. Agrefc or disagree with his policies, David Toscano has offered alternatives. As his campaign literature says, “At last, you have a choice.” — Rappahannock New*Photn/D.

Attorney Seconds Request (Continued from Page 1) The following week, the board denied a request for a revision ui ihat architectural report on the same grounds and also turned down a request for a copy of a report on a proposed index salary scale presented by the assistant superintendent, maintaining that it was a working paper of a chief executive officer of a political subdivision and that it pertained to information discussed in executive session. In a letter dated July 2b. 1982, Fontaine, a member of the Parent Advisory Committee and past president of the elementary school PTA, asked for (Da copv of the 1982-83 Title I budget breakdown, (2) a copy of Piedmont Technical Education Center's total budget, showing each county's share of expenses (3) information on Rappahannock’s share of Piedmont’s operating costs from 1968-1975. number of students from Rappahannock participating in each program during 1981-82. adult education involvement, totals paid for tuition and operating costs and Rappahannock's share in the ow nership of Piedmont. In his letter to i e school board, Baumgardner asked for prompt attention to his request for the information intiallv sought by Fontaine and the Rappahannock News. Ruritans Meet Claude Guinn of Culpeper was guest speaker at the Amissville Ruritan Club’s August 18 meeting held at the Amissville Baptist Church. Guinn gave a presentation on the life of John Singleton Mosby, the “Gray Ghost” of the Confederacy who with his Raiders posted a record of 69 to one agains thte Yankees as measured by killed or captured men. Mosby's Raiders successfully fooled the Union Army into thinking they numbered 10.000 when their strength never exceeded 800, according to Guinn. At their monthly meeting for August, the Ruritans also began planning for a benefit spaghetti dinner to be held Saturday, October 23, at the Amissville Fire Hall. Prior to receipt of the commonwealth’s attorney’s letter. superintendent Estabrook delivered a copy of the index salary report to the Rappahannock News office late Tuesday afternoon. The cover letter, signed by F.stabrook, reaffirms the school board's position that ihe information is not covered by FOI. "While we maintain that information pertaining to the ‘concept index’ salary schedule is properly protected by the Code of Virginia in those sections cited in my most recent letter to you, we have concluded that there is no compelling reason to not make such information available," he wrote in the short, one paragraph note.

But Moffett is quick to emphasize that her volunteer project is not connected in any way with welfare at either the federal, state or local level. She won approval from state welfare officials to start a little employment center and she keeps her lists of jobs and job seekers in her welfare department office but there's no bureaurocratic red tape involved with participation, no federal money, no rules or guidelines from Washington or Richmond. Moffett has mimeographed simple questionnaires on job experience, hours available and job preference for those looking for work and questionnaires on type of work, starting date and qualifications sought for prospective employers to cum pic ic. one maiciicb me two lists and sends job seekers out to be interviewed. Since the first few weeks following the announcement of the start of the job center experiment, however, inquiries from job hunters and those with jobs to fill have slacked off. “1 think it’s because so many people have forgotten or they never were real clear in the first place on what we're trying to do," Moffett said. "We want to keep in the public eye and remind people that we’re here." Moffett urges anyone looking for employment and anyone with a job opening—no matter how big or how small, full-time or part-time, skilled or unskilled—to call her at 6753200 or stop by the Welfare Office in Washington to fill out a job center form. 9-l Country Manor Celia’ Deli Featuring: Sab* a Dali Sandwich** Fin* HoaM*Md« Pizza Laachaoa maata and ch***a Creme de Menthe Cheeeeceke , Co# 987-8761 S372/or Carry Dally 900 AM to 800 U S Rt 211 West of Sperryvllle is NOTICE CHANGE OF MEETING DATE The Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County will hold it’s next regular monthly meeting on Wednesday, September 8, 1982 at 10 o'clock A M. in the Court House at Washington, Virginia.

The Rappahannock School Board was alerted to need for upgrading the elementary school’s sewage system treatment lagoon. An application for renewal of the lagoon’s discharge permit was filed despite the effluent’s drop below the new State Water Control Board standards. Uranium Discovered (Reprinted by permission from the Warren ton based Piedmont Environmental Council's August, 1982. newsletter.) On July 21. the Marline Uranium Corporation announced discovery of a high grade uranium deposit six miles northeast of Chatham in Pittsylvania County, Virginia and discussed tentative plans to invest $200 million in mining and milling operations. The select group of Pittsylvania officials and landowners invited to the Marline press conference welcomed the announcement with enthusiasm, but elsewhere in Pittsylvania and Virginia the news was greeted with growing concern. Earlier in July at a meeting in Charlottesville, the Coal and Energy Commission’s uranium subcommittee had instructed its staff to prepare draft legislation under which uranium could be mined. The 7-1 vote to initiate a draft also indicated that the committee may recommend leaving controls of radiological. milling, and tailings problems to (he U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. In discussions with the press, the subcommittee's chairman. Senator Daniel W. Bird, Jr., suggested that the legislative proposal might include a provision allowing mining only where agreeable to local government. Some local officials have questioned whether such a provision would be uphled byVirginia courts, and others note that a “local option" approach ignores the potential regional impacts of a uranium industry. Jack Herrity, Chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, remains unconvinced of the appropriateness of that solution, and he noted that mining in-any area of the State might “op>en the door" for the uranium industry elsewhere. (Marline now holds leases on land in the Occoquan watershed, which verves as the major drinking water supply of Northern Virginia.) Meanwhile, information available to Piedmont Environmental Council from sources in the Southwest suggests that the si/e of the deposit announced by Marline (30 million pounds of uranium oxide) may not justify a $200 million investment. Thus, it may be that Marline is also hoping to develop additional areas of Pittsylvania County, nearby North Carolina, or perhaps the Northern Piedmont. Whatever Marline's longterm aspirations, it is essential that the 1983 General Assembly act further on the uranium issue. Without 1983 legislation. Marline will be free to apply for mining permits next July 1—and no meaningful regulatory system will exist. However, the Assembly’s 1983 session will be a short one: 30 days. PEC simply does not believe that is enough time to develop the kind of response and assurances that are warranted. We continue to urge unique caution, lest decisions made today will be regretted for many years to come. last Friday for a luncheon at the Trinity Episcopal Church.

Ohio 45648-0001 From Both BarrelsTrible’s Crime Bill By GEORGE BOWLES l>t*»nocn»l S|wrial %rit«*r Paul Trible, Republican candidate for U.S. Senator unveiled an interesting piece of proposed legislation the other day. In a speech at the formal opening of his state campaign headquarters in Richmond, Mr. Trible outlined his plan to introduce a bill in Congress which would give courts and juries a new verdict option in federal cases where the accused asserts mental illness as a defense. Under present law, if the individual’s mental illness is proved, the court’s only recourse is to find him or her “not guilty by reason of insanity.” Mr. Trible’s bill would establish a verdict of “guilty, but mentally ill." A person receiving such a finding would be ordered by the court to undergo psychiatric treatment. Upon being cured of the mental illness, that person would then serve whatever sentence might have been imposed by the court for the crime charged. The GOP candidate says he is introducing the measure because of public outrage over the not guilty verdict in the case of John Hinckley, the man who shot President Reagan in the full view of witnesses and a national television audience. Improvement Needed There is not much question about the need for improvement in the law with respect to the insanity plea. Clearly there are many practical as well as philosophical questions which remain unanswered about what society’s response should be when a mentally deranged person commits an act which, if he were sane, would be a crime. Mr. Trible’s proposed legislation would make such acts a crime even if the person were insane and would allow punishment accordingly. On the surtace it would appear that the proposal would turn back the clock on the legal recognition of mental disorders to somewhere around the middle ages. Mr. Trible says the purpose of the legislation is to make certain that people are held responsible for their actions. But for several centuries most civilized societies have accepted the view that insane persons are, by definition, not responsible for their actions. Indeed, that is the meaning of the legal concept of insanity. Execution of Mentally III? Under his bill, Mr. Trible admits, it is arguable that an individual could commit a murder, be found mentally ill at the time he did so, receive the courtordered psychiatric treatment, be pronounced cured and then be executed! The possibility of this happening would be extremely remote, to be sure, but under the legal principle embodied in his measure, it would still be a possibility. The point is that punishment should relate to the mental condition of the accused at the time he committed the act for which he is being punished, and not to his mental condition at the time the punishment is administered. There is not much doubt that Mr. Trible's proposal will receive wide support among those who share his understandable dismay at the Hinckley verdict. There were cheers and hurrahs when he outlined it during his speech at the opening of his headquarters. But Mr. Trible should go back to the draw ing boards on this one, and attempt to come up with a proposal which would fine tune, rather than dismantle, our centuries-old effort to deal with the problem of the mentally ill who commit antisocial acts. Historic Mill House Uncovered excavators at the Thunderbird Museum & Archeological Park have located a portion of an historic building foundation along the South Fork of the Shenandoah River. Both historical records and narrative history indicate that this should be the location of the Aenon (Enon) Mill House. Both the mill and the house were destroyed in the flood of 1870 according to the records. Careful examination of the historical records, aerial photographs, and the topography of the land led the archeologists to test the location where the foundation has been found. Further work will attempt to confirm the building as the Aenon Mill House. Visitors to the Thunderbird Museum & Archeological Park outside Front Royal on Route 737 may see the mill house site and the prehistoric excavations. Robert A.

On one occasion, she said, she found the patient talking about his father “like he was there or something." He didn’t notice me (when she entered his room)’’ but continued to mumble and stare into space. Brennan recalled making the notation in the nursing notes that Col. Holmes was "delirious once or twice.” Checking through the records, she couldn’t find her notations and pointed out that a week's worth of nursing notes were missing. On the second Saturday session of the trial, Doug Print/, who runs a plumbing and heating business and has hunted at the colonel’s Flint Hill farm regularly since working at his Barnaby Street house 20 years ago, recalled Dr. Neilsen telling him when he visited Holmes at Bethesda around October 28 that ‘‘the colonel was hallucinating and anything I’d do would not hold up.” FBI Expert Lyndal Shaneyfelt, the plaintiffs expert on documents who had testified in the Howard Hughes will case in Nevada, told the jury that the paper the alleged w ill w ps typed on w as not exactly square and had been cut by a paper cutter to a non-standard size, 7Vi bv 7%. The paper had been through a xerographic copier before being tyoed on with an IBM selectr 'vpewriter, Shaneyfelt reported. The typing in the alleged will contained only one error, an “h" in place of an “n” in “Virginia" and the “h” had been lifted off by the machine’s correcting feature with the "n” typed in place, according to the ex-FBI agent who’s had 25 years of experience in examining documents. Using a special grid, Shaneyfelt continued, he determined that alignment of the typing on the alleged will was off both horizontally and vertically, showing that the typing of the signature dateline and w itness datelines wasn’t done at the same time as the typing of the body of (he document.'The paper was taken out of the typewriter between the typing of the body and the rest of the alleged w ill, he said. With the jury dismissed, Shaneyfelt explained to the judge that after tests on an IBM selectric. he reached the "probable conclusion” that the signature witness block was typed first. He reached this conclusion, he said, after typing the entire document, putting it back in the typewriter and lining up on the underline lines that are used in the signatures “and finding the underline used for the last will and testament is out of alignment by the same degree on my test sample” as it was on the alleged will. Shaneyfelt acknowledged, however, that he’d never given testimony on typing sequence based on this theory during his 25 years as a document examiner. Sister’s Friend Betty Paleologos. who mounted the challenge to the colonel’s will in accordance with instructions left by Ruth Holmes in her will after she died three months following her brother, said she’d met Ruth in the early 1%0's through a mutual friend. As her health began to deteoriate in the 1970’s, Ruth became more and more dependent on her for help, Paleologos told the jury. When a lawyer to whom she’d given power of attorney placed Ruth in a nursing home in 1974, Paleologos recalled that she’d contacted Col. Homes, assisted him in getting Ruth out of the institution and lined up a nurse to care for Ruth at her Washington home. Following that incident, sister and brother ended their estrangement and visited and called each other frequently, she said. Paleologos told the court that she went to see the colonel every day or every other day when he was hospitalized at Bethesda in October, taking Ruth with her wo or three times a week. Once, she recalled. Col. fomes mistook her for a turse and on another ocasion, she found him with lis eyes wide open, staring at he wall. She said she spoke o him but he didn't answer. Visiting at his request on )ctober 29 with Ruth, ’aleologos said the colonel old his sister and her he’d nade Ruth sole beneficiary n his will and gave her nstructions on how to lispose of his property, the lame of the funeral home hat was to handle his death irrangements and where to ind his important papers, iolmes's farm manager, Jilly Melton, was also upposed to be at this neeling. Paleologos said, and he colonel waited 20 minutes o begin but Melton never ame. When told she was sole >eneficiary, Paleologos said ?uth replied "Earl, I don't iant your money, I just want ou to live." According to ter. the colonel replied “1 lon't care—it's all yours." Rebuttal Billy Melton, the Capitol lispensory lab technician iho became Col. Holmes’ riend and frequent visitor :he last few years before his ieath, told the jury of a visit io the colonel's Flint Hill Farm when he and his wife Found the elderly gentleman in his underwear. Previous witnesses for the plaintiffs had spoken repeatedly of finding the colonel in similar, “inappropriate” apparel while the plaintiff's medical experts tied this change in dressing habits to mental deterioration. But Melton testified that the colonel admitted to him and his wife that he had trouble controlling both his bladder and bowels. “He said he was sitting as close to the bathroom as he could with as little on as possible because he didn’t want to foul himself.” Melton added that Holmes gave this same explanation when visitors found him in pajamas. ‘‘It wasn't within my capacity or ability to take advantage of him,” said Washington real estate agent Newbill Miller, telling the jury of his land transactions with Holmes. He said he dealt with Holmes for the last time in April, 1979, six months before the contested will was executed, and saw him later when the colonel spoke on a zoning issue at a public hearing of the county Planning Commission. “He was very much in command of the situation and very factual and to the point,” Miller said. Called back to the stand. Dr. Bruce Lloyd from Bethesda Naval Hospital, disputed the diagnosis of senile dementia and encephalopothy, progressive brain disorders, reached by the plaintiff’s medical experts after review of the colonel’s records. He testified that he saw Holmes at least three or four times a week during his last stay in the hospital, the point at which the alleged will leaving the entire SI.8 million estate to Dr. Peter Neilson was executed. Lloyd said he was questioned repeatedly by Holmes and found the colonel's inquiries “quite astute...very intelligent." Noting that Holmes was seen by a large number of doctors while a patient at Bethesda— “probably too many to count"—Lloyd emphasized that no other physician had diagnosed him as having long term neurological diseases. r As to an EEG conducted in 1973 on Holmes which found the colonel had a minimal brain abnormality. Dr. Lloyd said tbe finding “means nothing ... It could be the result of sleep deprivation, breathing too fast or a serious disease.” he testified, adding that no “definite diagnosis" could be made on the basis of the 1973 EEG results. Repeatedly in his rebuttal testimony. Lloyd emphasized that there was no evidence in the medical records that Holmes was suffering from any form of brain disease. Saw Holmes Typing Lt. Commander A. Thomas, a radiation physicist in Bethesda's radiology department, told the jury that he had met Col. Holmes several times during his hospitalizations in July and October of 1979 when the patient came down to the nuclear medicine department to join Dr. Neilson for lunch. On one occasion in 1979 while the weather was warm and naval personnel were still in their summer white uniforms, Thomas recalled, the colonel came alone to his office and asked if he could use a typewriter. Thomas said he gave the colonel his IBM Selectric II model and showed Holmes how to use its correcting features. Thomas, who described himself as a Scotchman by nature, testified that he kept a pile of scratch paper from the xerox copying room down the hall next to his desk, scratch paper that he trimmed with a paper cutter before using it in preparing lecture hand-out materials. ‘‘I offered him bond paper but Col. Holmes said what was in the box was sufficient for his purposes,” Thomas testified. He reported that the colonel then took a piece of old xeroxed scratch paper from the box and proceeded to type. Under further questioning, Thomas said he’d left the margins for the typewriter in the standard position he used—a five space indentation and six inch tine, the same indentation and line length in the alleged will. He recalled the Col. Holmes had a number of pieces of paper of various sizes with him that day and appeared to be "hunt and peck" typing from notes. Under cross examination. Thomas said he didn't know of the w ill challenge until two weeks previously when Neilson. his friend and colleague since Thomas arrived at Bethesda. asked him to tell his lawyers what he remembered about Col. Holmes. He acknowledged that after the colonel’s death in November, 1979, he helped Neilson with the inventory taken at the farm and later stayed briefly at the farm "for security purposes." He repeated, however, that he didn’t know the will was being contested until two weeks previously and had never mentioned seeing Col. Holmes typing until the discussion with Neilson’s lawyers. "It wasn’t relev .nt.” Thomas maintained. Expert document examiner Dudley Davis verified that the typing on the alleged will had been done on an IBM selectric 11. that the signature on the bottom was the same signature that appeared on Col. Holmes’ checks. As to the plaintiffs theory that misallignment of typing on the will showed that the body was typed after the signature and date lines. Davis stated that "there’s absolutely no w ay you can say one piece of typing was typed before another by alignment alonfc... I see no reason to believe this is an altered document," said the ex-FBI agent and former chief document examiner for the State of Virginia, referring to the alleged will. “It's been removed from the typewriter, yes. but there's no other sign of spuriousness." With best sides finished, the lawyers returned early on the morning of August 4 to hammer out final instructions to the jury, working with Judge Robertson for over four hours. Keacting ot the legal instructions, a copy of which went with the jury members when they retired for deliberations, took another hour. Larry Elgin came hack repeatedly to the testimony of the plaintiff's medical experts. "The top doctors in Virginia could tell you what was happening (to Col. Holmes’ mind) just from reading the medical notes," he said, maintaining that Holmes was suffering from encephalopothy, a mental disease that "comes and goes," when he executed the alleged will. He also recalled witnesses who had described the colonel as confused, disoriented, in a trance and not himself, unable to recognize friends and relatives during his last year. “The story sinks of its own weight," maintained Elgin, his voice cracking. "Col. Holmes did not go to his grave believing he had executed that." he said, holding the alleged will. “Yes, he was a strong man but he was fighting something that nobody's strong enough to overcome and he trusted the people around him. some of them not too wisely or well...The real will will never be recovered." he concluded. In his final summation and again in rebutall to Elgin, defense attorney Peter Luke, while reviewing testimony of a string of witnesses, returned to one key point. "If you believe two witnesses, then this case is over." Luke told the jury, referring to testimony from Georgia Liston Daley and Sgt. Stephenson, the two witnesses at the execution of the will. They both saw Col. Holmes every day during his last stay in the hospital. Luke said. “They knew him and they talked to him. They both said he was of sound mind w hen he signed the will. "Nurse Liston said she read the will (before signing it as a witness to Col. Holpies' signature)...What reason would she have to lie...lie, to perjure herself?" Luke asked. Whith summations finished, the case went to the jury at about 5 p.m. The seven members retired to the basement of the clerk’s office for just a half hour or so of deliberations before being excused for the evening. Returning early the following morning. August 5, the jury signaled that it had reached a verdict at 11:30 a.m. , "I will not tolerate outerys of any kind." warned judge Robertson, before he asked foreman Dciier Knupfer for the jury's findings. "1 have contempt powers." the judge added. Clerk Diane Bruce read that the jury found the alleged will to be the true last will and testament of Col. Earl Holmes. In turn, each juror affirmed the verdict that left the entire SI.8 million Holmes estate — at least for the time being — to Dr. Peter Neilson. 1 Call ME. cheap afters.

Students will return to classes on Thursday to a building that’s had the equivalent of a face lift. The gymnasium practically shouts school spirit with fresh coats of navy blue and bright yellow paint. The keys at either end of the basketball court, the center circle and the bottom half of the walls are Panther yellow. The stripe around the perimeter of the court, the doors, stage trim and stripes down the wall are all done in Panther blue. And the floor shines and sparkles brighter than a bowling alley lane with eight coats of wax. It’s amazing the wonders that paint can work. The halls have lost their dungeon atmosphere with a fresh coat of white on the ceilings that contrasts sharply with new dark brown doors to classrooms and offices. The biology teacher will no longer have to stretch a hose from the janitor’s closet across the hall to get water. The classroom has been moved to the side of the building and a sink has been added. making experiments—and the clean up afterward—a regular possibility. Commenting on the improvements, new principal Robert Chappell gave credit to superintendent Robert Estabrook and the county school board for setting aside money for the project. Work on the gym is especially important, he said, since it will serve as a focal point for greater school pride and spirit. Chappell sees more face lifting operations ahead. One classroom has been painted this year “and we want to do the library next year,” he said. The new principal comes to Rappahannock from his Golf is a good walk spoiled. Lillard spent Sunday with the latter’s brother and sister-inlaw, Mr. and Mrs. Leon Cloud at Fredericksburg. Maynard Nethers of Stephens City was a Friday overnight guest of his mother, Mrs. Robert Nethers. Also visiting on Friday evening were Charles Corder Jr. and Karen of Front Royal, Mrs. Bob Lewis of Huntly and Mr. and Mrs. Ranny Aylor and Heather of Sperryville. The Woman's Society of Christian Service of the Flint Hill United Methodist Church held their annual picnic at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Carson Lillard last Monday and was well attended. John B. Browning of Charlottesville spent the weekend with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John S. Browning. They had dinner on Saturday evening at The Corner Post. Visiting with Mrs. Moffett Brady on Sunday were Mrs. Mary Atkins of Amissville and Mrs. Libby Bolton of Warrenton. Mrs. Robert Nethers and Clyde Lillard attended a picnic held on Sunday on the Skyline Drive in honor of J. P. Lillard. hometown of Richmond via four years as assistant principal in neighboring Madison High School. “1 was at the point in my own career where 1 felt 1 was ready to be a principal. I didn’t think my own skills and talents were being adequately used." he said, explaining his decision to apply for the opening at RCHS. Chappell, his wife Kathryn and their children, 12-yearold Christopher and six-yearold Andrew, currently reside in Madison. Mrs. Chappell currently works in Charlottesville so the family will delay moving to Rappahannock until she can find employment in or closer to the county, Chappell explained. But in the meantime, he’s jumped right in to community activities, literally as well as figuratively. He braved a wet plunge at the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department's dunk booth at the annual carnival and was elbows deep in soap suds washing dishes after the cheerleaders’ benefit spaghetti dinner, according to reports. “I haven’t had time yet to do all the things that I'm interested in,” said Chappell, adding that he will volunteer this year as coach or referee for the youth basketball program and plans to become involved in soccer fund raising further down the line. After two months on the job, Chappell doesn't foresee working for any drastic changes at RCHS. ‘‘It's a matter of continuing progress...I’d like to see each student achieve to the best of his or her ability. I want to put emphasis on attendance. You can’t learn if you're not in school. 1 want the students to get the best education possible and I want us to have the best scholastic program possible within the means of the county.” As to specifics, Chappell hopes to organize a school newspaper, one that will match the RCHS yearbook. “The quality of the yearbook was one of the things that impressed me most about this school. It's one of the best I've ever seen.” He also plans a "big thrust" towards upgrading the computer end of the instructional program, using new equipment that brings the school’s computer line-up to four for such classes as math teacher Don Bomberger's mini-course in computer literacy. NEW FOURTH GRADE TEACHER Terri Davis taught for two years in Houston, Texas, before the pull of Virginia drew her husband Glenn, RCHS teacher and soccer coach, back to his home state. A graduate of Trenton State College in New Jersey where she majored in early childhood development, Davis substituted often last year in Rappahannock and Luray where she and her husband reside. But Chappell was quick to smphasize repeatedly that he didn’t come to RCHS to make a great deal of changes. “I'm coming into a school p that’s already good.

Hutchinaon RAPPAHANNOCK S VARSITY CHEERLEADERS show off a formation they perfected at summer camp held August 8-12 at the University of Virginia’s campus. At the base of the pyramid are (left to right! Dawn Kenyon, Kristi Foster, Sheri Brown, Cathy Wingfield and Cristol Porter while Peggy Stephenson and Kelly Bristol hold their places at the top. Cheerleaders Add Their Own Ribbons To RCHS Trophies “Hey turkey, get on the move!” That was the chant echoing through the halls of Rappahannock High School last week as the varsity cheerleaders practised routines they learned at summer cheerleading camp. It was the first time ever that a squad from RCHS attended camp. The week at the University of Virginia's campus for the International Cheerleader Foundation’s session was the prize won through a round of fund raisers organized by the girls and their sponsor, Sally Brand. To earn the money to go, they washed cars until their fingertips wrinkled and cooked enough spaghetti to feed an army. "We'd like to thank everybody again who helped make those summer fund-raisers a success and made camp a reality,” Brand said. The week of August 8-12 wasn't a lazy vacation in the sun, however. At all times, the ICF staff demanded a positive mental attitude coupled with unlimited energy and enthusiasm from each squad member. Brand said. At first, it was a little overwhelming for the Rappahannock contingent to work with cheerleaders who looked like they'd already achieved semi-pro status from previous camp sessions. But they shook off their initial inferiority complex. “Our RCHS cheerleaders readily adjusted to a very difficult and unfamiliar schedule," their sponsor reported. “They started at 6:30 in the morning and worked until 10:30 at night!" Throughout the week, the girls learned new cheers and chants, gymnastic stunts and pyramids and pep rally strategies. In addition, they The Ivory Coast is called the "miracle of Africa." Almost alone among newly independent nations, it has had no coups, no mass rioting, no tribal wars. Ivoirians have the highest standard of living in black Africa, and their per capita income is one of the continent's highest. National Geographic says.

At squad evaluations conducted by ICF staff, the Rappahannock girls were awarded a 110 per cent ribbon, the first tangible rew ard for their efforts. The girls continued to improve and to utilize new cheering techniques as the week progressed. As a result, they brought home six new ribbons for the RCHS trophy case including a third place for excellence achieved during the camp’s final evaluation, noted Brand. The varsity squad strongly believes that camp helped to motivate them in getting the sports season off to a great start, according to Brand. The girls plan to help organize pep rallies and establish a special pep section in the gym's bleachers for fans who want to holler. They’ve learned cheers the crowd can yell with and intend to mimeograph copies for Panther supporters to follow. And as eager as they are to get the 1982-83 sports season rolling, they are just as anxious to share what they’ve mastered with the junior varsity squad. “The girls hope their Panther fans will be as pleasantly surprised with them this fall as they were with Ralph Sampson’s presence at camp this summer," Brand joked. All of the RCHS cheerleaders need and deserve support from their school and community. “We’ll be looking forward to seeing the bleachers full of smiling faces, ready to yell, at the first girl's basketball game on August 31 at Warren County High School," added the squad’s sponsor. Asked if they’d brought back renewed commitment from camp, the girls responded with a resounding “Yes!’’, appropriately celled—or rather cheered—in unison. Renewed interest? “Yes!" School spirit? "Yes!" The words of a new chant seemed to sum up the new Rappahannock Cheerleaders: “Attitude check—We feel so good, yea, we feel so good!” Polo Match Ends In A Tie In the second game of a polo double header last Sunday at Phipps Field in Middleburg, Rappahannock sowed to the Red Devils from Maryland, 8-3. The Devils jumped to an :arly lead in the first chukker )n a goal by Tommy leonard.

With both Bignoli and teammate Vincie Rizso hitting very well, the host foursome finally got rid of their goose egg in the third, but not before the invaders had put another notch on their gun to make it 3-1 at the half. The fourth chukker featured a lot of running up and down the field with the only score coming when a pony kicked the ball out of a melee in front to the goal through the posts in the Red’s favor. Fouls started piling up in the fifth period but did not interfer with the Red Devils' scoring ways as high scorer Mike Cantacuzene dumped in two more. Spencer Woods retaliated with a point for Rappahannock to make it 62. The last period of the afternoon proved to be fast and exciting as both teams fought to the finish. Bignoli converted on a No. 4 foul shot but the Devils added another twosome to bring the score to 8-3. -FOOT FACTS— Dr. Bruce Vogel Podiatrist Foot Specialist * “OH, IT’S ONLY A SPRAINED ANKLE” This is heard time and again by many people following an injury that is one of the most neglected of all sports (and otherwise) injuries to the foot The injury occurs usually when the toes are pointed downwards as in jumping (basketball) or when stepping off a curb There is a sudden and severe pain and often the person falls to the ground clutching his or her leg Most ankle injuries occur when the foot is forcibly turned inwards This type of injury most commonly leads to the simple sprain. A sprain is a tearing or a stretching of the ligaments holding the bones together It is important that this injury be checked because very frequently an undertreated ankle sprain or ligamentous tear will lead to a chronically unstable ankle This patient can be constantly twisting his or her ankle until the joint becomes very uncomfortable Remember if there is more than slight swelling or if there is significant pain 12 hours after the injury have the ankle examined A public service with the aim of promoting a better foot health environment.

Rappakannock Journal Thursday, August 26, 1982 •Farm •Business •Garden •Rural Life By THERESA REYNOLDS Hap|>ahnnn<»«'k V-»m Nt*ff 1 ril**r New to the landscape in Flint Hill is a herd of French Alpine and Saanen goats, posing gracefully on top of rocks, reaching for persimmons from a lone tree and serving as pets for the Adams children who are raising them, a long with sheep, chickens and other barnyard animals. Laura. April and Willy Adams are members of a newly-formed goat club, a 4-H club which includes children from Culpeper and Madison as well as Rappahannock. The Goat Club, started in January of this year, is a pet project of Joyce Adams and Linda Holt of Amissville, who serve as the adult leaders. They're hoping that more local 4-H’ers will choose to raise these fascinating animals for fun and for show. The Adams goats - Daisy, Pansy. Heather, Tango. Clover. Killy. Charlie and Tiffy - are more than a 4-H project for the family. "They're more like pets,” Joyce Adams explains. They have little fear of people, running happily up to the children who help them reach the precious persimmons by pulling down branches so the goats can reach. They provide milk for household use made into cottage cheese and ice cream when there's enough left over. Two of the children, April and Willy, entered the Virginia Stale Dairy Goat Association's essay contest and won the first and second prizes. The first prize - a purebred French Alpine has been happily incorporated into their family. The Adams also did well at the Culpeper-Madison - Rappahannock Farm Show Goat division. April won first place in the junior category for showing and fitting, second place for grade kids, 3rd place for grade doe in milk. Laura won first place in grade kids, second in junior showing and fitting, and second in grade doe in milk. She also had the reserve champion. Nine-year-old Willy won 3rd place in junior showing and fitting. Joyce is hoping that their will be enough interest next year to allow children who raise goats who are not milkers to compete in showing and fitting. "This encourages those who keep goats just for fun,” she said. As April points out in her prize-winning essay, many cultures are dependent on goats for survival. They provide milk more efficiently than cows can and in some places, goat meat is eaten, the hair and hide are used, and goats are used to pull light carts. Misconceptions about goats abound. They are very clean. The strong odor attributed to goats comes only from the male in rut. Nor do they eat everything in sight. Their food must be clean or they will refuse it. They do enjoy a varied diet: persimmons, cabbage, pumpkins, corn, as well as bushes, bark and leaves are favorites of the Adams goats. “They are browsers, not grazers, just like deer," Joyce said. They also have four stomachs, like a cow, so they can digest a variety of food. The Adams protect the bark of their persimmon tree by occasionally painting it with a diluted manure. No tin cans or overalls have yet been eaten by these Flint Hill goats. The Adams feed them hay to supplement their browsing and find that most goats eat only about a pound a day. They let the kids nurse until they are about three months old, when the mother has already shown them the pleasures of outdoor dining. When a doe is milking, she supplies about two or three quarts of milk a day. Heavy milkers give as much as a gallon. Goats require only modest accommodations: some shelter from the wind and rain. The Adams put them in at night for protection against wandering dogs.

The different breeds of goats have their own characteristics. The French Alpines and Saanens raised by the Adams grow to about 135 pounds, are friendly and calm. But Joyce Adams chose these kinds mainly for their noses. “1 don’t like Roman noses," she said. Joyce is hoping that the Goat Club will grow to The Dairy Goat— Man’s Best Friend The reason a dairy goat is man’s best friend is because they have a personality different from any other animal. They are friendly, funny, useful, and it seems like they are talking, and listening to you. Dairy Goats also are very important animals. For example, they give you milk from which you can make delicious cheeses, yogurt, pudding, ice cream and it is even good cool by itself. Goats also provide meat for food, hair to make clothing and other cloth items, and their hides can be used to make shoes, slippers, gloves and coats. All goats are funny in their own way, such as some goats may have waddles and big floppy ears. Other goats may have a funny “ba" and no ears. Most dairy goats make a funny gurgling sound deep down in their throat whenever they are very happy or when they are eating their dinner or breakfast. Another reason I like goats is whenever they are very happy or excited they will jump in the air, twist, and look like they are dancing. They will prance around. Dairy goats eat different kinds of shrubs and even your Moms favorite flowers or trees, but they are good for weed control. Dairy goats cost very little to raise, they need less food and hay than a cow, and dairy goats don't require a lot of work. Just because I said that dairy goats don't require a lot of work doesn’t mean you should not spend time with them because goats are fun to be with. RAPPAHANNOCK GARDENER Cover Your Garden A cover crop-a temporary planting made to add organic matter to the soil can have many benefits for the home vegetable garden. Cover crops hold nitrogen and other plant foods that might be leached away during the winter. Their tremendous root systems loosen heavy soils, and the added humus will fyelp hold together the particles of sandy soils. If you have plenty of garden space, a good plan is to put a third to a half of it into a cover crop each year, then alternate the cover crop with the vegetable planting. Keep in mind that the different kinds of roots do different kinds of jobs. Fine grass and clover roots are ideal for developing soil crumbs in the upper six to 12 inches of the garden. Alfalfa and sweet clover taproots extend deeper and when they die and rot, leave channels for air and water movement. Annual rye. Abru/.zi rye, red clover and hairy vetch also are excellent choices for a winter cover. By being good cool season producers, any of them will grow quickly this fall. This provides excellent erosion control so the nutrients and organic matter won't wash away during fall and winter rains. By fertilizing with one pound of 10-10-10 per 100 square feet, they will provide good top growth this fall. Cover crops can be planted as early as the beginning of August, but should not be planted any later than Nov. 1. They should make some growth before hard frosts stop them. They can even be started where the gardener has fall crops growing. Sow the cover crop seed between rows a month or less before the harvest is expected. This way the cover crop gets a good start but will not interfere with vegetable plant growth. MoggoggnBOongowHHBHOBB PRO-MAC m As - > McCulloch WITH CHAIN MAKE SWAN'S SALES ...ul SERVICE JA Swan.

April Adams Dairy goats are very important in the Middle East because the people practically live off of them. They drink the milk, they eat the meat, and they even find use for the hair and leather hides. The goats in the Middle East also are used to pull little carts to deliver the milk. The goat is a very important animal in Syria. Because the area is so dry and barren it is difficult and costly to raise cows. People depend on the goat herds for fresh milk and cheese. When I lived in Damascus, Syria, it was common to hear the tinkle of bells and the call ot the goat herder early each morning as he made his way thru the city streets delivering milk. He would stop at any apartment building where someone wanted fresh milk. The goat herder would wipe the udder, milk the goat and then tie a bandana around the udder. This cloth protected the goats udder and kept it clean. It was funny to see goats walking thru the busy streets with colored cloths tied around them. * 5* Ha|.|>.hann,«k l’h..l..

J In loving memory of our devoted wife, mother and grandmother, Sarah Alice Frazier, who departed this life two years ago, August 29, 1980. The call was sudden, the shock severe. We little thought that such grief was near. God has given us strength to bear it and courage to meet the blow, But hidden tears so often flow because we love you so. Your life was so unselfish and for others you did live. Sincere and kind in heart and mind What a beautiful memory you left behind. In our hearts your memory lingers Sweetly, tender, fond and true, There is not a day dear mother, that we do not think of you. When the family gets together and it is you we cannot see, It fills our hearts with sadness thinking of how it used to be. Our hearts still ache with loneliness, our eyes shed many tears, As it ends two sad years. Love always, your devoted husband, Robert l. Frazier and children, Bobby L. Frazier and Ruth F. Clark, grandchildren and great grandchildren. 47 + pd We would like to thank the Sperryville and Washington fire department for their act of kindness and help in trying to save our home.

For those of you who put your plants out in June, it is time to take them back indoors in early September. Place them in a sunny window and keep watered and fertilized. A poinsettia responds to day length and is known as a short-day plant. Be sure it gets no light from sundown to sunup. Even a very short period of light at night may prevent blooming. If the plant is to be grown in a room that is lighted nightly, cover it at dusk with a heavy paper bag or put in a dark closet. Remove covering from plant or take the plant from the closet at about 8:00 a.m. The poinsettia requires 14 hours of complete darkness from October 10 until color shows, which is usually around Thanksgiving. Red Cross Meeting The annual meeting of the American Red Cross representing Fauquier and Rappahannock Counties will be held Wednesday, September 8 at 4 p.m. at the parish hall of St. James Church on Culpeper Street in Warrenton.

By now Rappahannock housewives have canned dishpanfuls of tomatoes and face each new day's produce with misgiving. Some of our local gardeners have come up with ways to make the endless chore of canning tomatoes a little easier, and others have contributed recipes using fresh tomatoes. Of the chores connected with preserving tomatoes, most agree that blanching and peeling tomatoes is the messiest. Steam bums your face, hot water burns your hands, and messy tomato juice drips between stove and sink, covering counters and floors with an unwanted glaze. Tinker Lyman has found a way to circumvent this unpleasant procedure when making tomato sauce. She cores tomatoes, halves or quarters them, and processes them in her food processor. The tomator skin is shredded so finely by the food processor that there is no need to peel the vegetables. Then Tinker cans processes the jars as usual. Daphne Hutchinson of the Rappahannock News discovered a way to freeze tomatoes without peeling. Daphne washes them, cores them and puts them iir a bag in the freezer. When it’s time to use them she runs the tomatoes, still frozen, under warm water and the skin pops right off. Daphne has found that the frozen tomatoes break down more quickly when simmered. This is a plus if you’re making tomato sauce, but it you wish to serve them whole, you may want to reduce the cooking time a bit. Barbara Jolly makes i tomato-veeetable puree tha she found in the Ball Canning Book. She cooks tomatoes, onions, peppers, celery and carrots together before pureeing and canning. She has a pureeing machine, but a food mill, food processer or blender would probably do the trick. Barbara uses these proportions: 11 quarts tomatoes 1 quart onion 1 quart celery 1 quart peppers Bay leaf, salt and pepper, basil to taste. spaghetti, tosses witn ouve oil, salt, pepper and parmesan cheese, then adds a lot of fresh chopped tomato instead of the traditional tomato sauce. Green onions, fresh basil and black olives would also be good with this. Sylvia Golubec of Washington uses fresh tomatoes in a zucchinicheese dish. She layers large zucchini slices in a pan coated with olive oil, tops with slices of Muenster cheese, and arranges tomato slices on top of the cheese. Then she sprinkles chopped garlic, parsley and basil on top. Sylvia said that this is even better if you have time to coat the zucchini with After vegetables are soft, puree and put on to cook again. When the consistency seems right, pour into jars and process 45 minutes in a boiling water bath. The longer processing time is necessary because of the nonacidic vegetables in the puree. Jane Cooper of Amissville makes spaghetti with fresh tomato bits. She boils the beaten egg and wheat germ. Sylvia cooks this casserole briefly and serves when the cheese starts to bubble. Francine Nadler of Washington uses a tomato soup recipe from her native Belgium. After living in the South of France for years, Mrs. Nadler made some alterations to the Belgian recipe, notably the olive oil. the garlic, and the basil. General District Leslie J.
