Basketball courts and tennis courts are in. nets up and ready to welcome players to the Rec Center Park on Route 211. Plans are underway to relocate the volley ball court after it had to be moved in response to directions from the Virginia Department of Highways. And on September 11, the Rappahannock Recreation Authority is looking tor willing workers to install additional p 1 a v g r o u n d equipment and picnic tables and to clear the new exercise t ra i I. "We need young and old alike from 9 a.m. until noon on Saturday. September II. Just as long as they’ve got strong backs!" said Jean Lillard. Rec Authority member. "And we want to ask people to bring weed eaters, cicles. hand clippers and other yard tools." The list ot projects scheduled for the clean up, fix-up day include putting together two sets ot wooden frame swings and a whirlaround. picking up and slacking rocks, moving picnic tables to the picnic area by the river, diuetne holes tor he barbecue pi's, clearing indergrowth and weeds from he exercise I rail and clearing he horse shoe pit. "Right low. it’s hard to tell that ic’ve even got a pit,” Lillard * oked. I Unskilled laborers can just J ,how up at the grounds on ■ Saturday morning. Skilled m workers should contact Fanning Baumgardner w ho is I in charge of pulling together ■ i crew to assemble the new I playground equipment. Few Rules The tennis and basketball courts have only been operational tor a tew weeks and already there has been an instance ot mindless abuse. Vandals drove a small car over the basketball court, | fortunately causing only I minor damage. Lillard | reported. Except for that single incident, use of the facilities at the Ree Center Park has been reasonable, according to Lillard. As a result, rules are few and simple: tennis plavers are asked to limit their time on the court to an hour for singles and I ‘/i hours for doubles, particularlv it others arc waiting, and both tennis and basketball plavers are requested to wear tennis shoes onl\ on the courts.

At Mondas night's general membership meeting. Jo\ Luke. in lent m RAAC president, acknowledged that Carrigan’s building was considered ideal because ot the space it could provide for arts-rclatcd classes as well as per I or in a nces . RAAC presented Corrigan with a proposed lease tor the lacilits but he rejected it as unacceptable. both from the standpoint of his interests and those ol RAAC. she reported. As an alternative. C'arrigan offered to lake over as temporarx building manager and schedule events lor this tail in the old school. RAAC’s board of directors turned down the proposition, however, maintaining that it would be unacceptable to spend the organization's funds on nccessari renovations without a lease or some sort of assurances for the future. Luke said. “It might be possible that we'll still get that building bill 11 will be a long. slow process and even i! 'lie papers were signed tomorrow, we couldn't get it reads in time lor tall events." she added. JWv a rrwfWi R /S ACs "> directors have examined other alternatives lor providing space. "We looked at a number ol locations: houses. antique emporium s ... sc h ools. old churches, lodges, the Ga\ Street Theater anil vacant lots with the idea ot building." reported Frank Rex nolds. "At the present time, our best bet Tor getting something going right a wax appears to be the theater. It’s available. the rent is reasonable, it will require the least amount ol monex up Iron! to be Functional and it’s in the tow n ol Washington." Rex nolds ack now ledged that the theater, with its small stage, doesn’t otter enough space lor some ol the activities which RAAC would like to present and-or promote, such as dance pcrFormanccs. But it max be possible to work i'll t an agreement with the town to use the town hall across the street From the theater For events which require more Hour space, he said. Facilitator RAAC’s purpose is to be a "facilitator,” according to Rex nolds. I he organization would like to provide a lacilitx xx here groups such as the Rappahannock Plaxers. the Rappahannock Chorus ;iml llie Last Minnie Wood Company can pul on shows, "and we want lo briny eultnral events to the area on our own." he explained. The theater building wilh its Iwah. r«oi ami "a willing landlord" gives RAAC the opportunity to be that facilitator and go into the tall with a schedule lor a wide range oi events. But the theater is “purely a t e ni p o r a r y in easure." Reynolds continued. "II a great benefactor lulls out ol the sk\ and Mr. Carrigan decides to make his building available. I think we'd jump at it." It would be six lo eight months down the road, however, before RAAC could use any other building, including Cardigan's, lor a broad range ol activities, he noted. "We can go ahead with the I healer lease and at the same time, pursue oilier options." In response to questions. Remolds noted that should the theater end up being RAAC's home lor an extended period ol time, renovation possibilities include expanding the storage area at the rear ol the stage, enlarging the stage ilscll to the rear and adding a second stor\ to the building. There were no objections voiced lo the directors' proposal lor pursuing a lease on the Gay Street Theater. "The theater has the most charm the most ideal location...It has magic I haven't seen in any other building." commented Carla Eugslcr. local poet and Use Value Tax Can Be Extended By DAI»HNK HUTCHINSON Ka|t|»a(i.mn<M-lk Vt*» Staff 1 rilrr According to Virginia's Attorney General. Rappahannock’s board of supervisors "may extend the operation of the county's use value assessment and taxation ordinance for succeeding years, including 1983, even though the decision to extend is made after June 30 of this year.” The Virginia Code specifies that use value and taxation ordinances be adopted “not later than June 30 of the year previous to the year w hen such taxes are first assessed and levied..." Expiration Omm Rappahannock's ordinance adopted in 1981 contains an expiration clause which states that the ordinance “shall be effective for all tax years * beginning on and atler January I, 1982, tor a period of one year with subsequent study anti review.” Commonwealth's attorney Douglas Baumgardner alerted the supervisors earlier this month that the expiration clause coupled with the Code's deadline for adopting land use might prohibit extension of use value taxation here into 1983. He requested an Attorney General's ruling to resolve the issue. According to the answer from Gerald Baliles dated August 25, the purpose of the June 30 deadline is to allow local governments and the State Land Evaluation Advisory Committee (SLEAC) sufficient time to set in motion the complicated machinery necessary for making assessments in accordance with land use before applications for such assessments are processed. (Under land use. qualifying properties are assessed and taxed at their value for agricultural and forextal production rather than fair market value.) Because Rappahannock's ordinance was enacted prior to June 30. 1981. "your localitv and SLEAC have already completed the process of implementing the use value assessment and taxation machinery." Baliles wrote. "Accordingly, the General Assembly's intent will not be violated if the board of supervisors, not having acted to extend the ordinance prior to June 30 of this year, chooses to act thereafter. Moreover, by use of the term 'first'.... the General Assembly referred to the year immediately preceding the year of the ordinance's INITIAL effective date, i.e., 1982 in your case and not to later years," Baliles held. 1 AFD Land Qualifies In answer lo other questions raised by Baumgardner, both relating ;o land assessment, the Attorney General concluded ihal lands lying within an agricultural and forestal district automatically qualify lor use value assessment and taxation, subject to restrictions and eligibility criteria set by the General Assembly in enabling legislation. ‘The locality has no option to exercise" in regard to granting use value to qualifying land "once a landowner has become 'associated' with an agricultural and forestal district," he noted. In regards to whether the existence of an agricultural and forestal district may be considered bv an assessor in determining fair market value, Baliles held that the only lands in a district which will be assessed at fair market value are “those properties which tail u> satisfy use -value taxation assessment and taxation requirements. such as minimu m a create requirements...or production requirements...Such property must Ire assessed at its fair market value." In determining fair market value. Baliles continued, the assessor is to consider all the elements which determine that value; that is, the price which property will bring in a transaction between a willing buyer and a willing seller. “Certainly, possible limitations on development, local governmental review of the district. special assessments and tax levies relief, limitations on State and local governmental regulation, and other relevant circumstances affect fair market value and should be considered by the tax assessor.” the Attorney Geyeral concluded.

Maybe snnwbs we'tt hunt the Oa» Sired I healer and the Ca r r i ga n ' building!” Re\ nolds responded.

Letters From Desolate Places: Lyt Wood Writes Home By I.tT WOOD (Too often, people fail to take advantage of the wonders in their own backyards. Lyt Wood, former county forrester, went a little beyond his backyard on a recent camping trip to the Allegheny Mountains but the same type of adventures and peace that he found in West Virginia are available right here in Shenandoah National Park His letters to friends waiting back in the county may inspire Rappahannockers to use the mountain and woodland treasures we have at home.) July 16, 1982 Devil’s Backbone Highland County, Va. Dear Jeannie, I have resolved to write many letters during this 2week excursion. Maybe the Rappahannock News will publish some of them. 1 wanted to write to you first, so you will hear about my campsite on Devil’s Backbone, the first point of interest on my trip. As I sat down to write this, the mosquitoes became unbearable and forced me to move on to the breezy ridgetop, so 1 will treat you with a description of that as well. This is a pretty, shady, damp level spot in very rugged country. The land is privately owned. My campsite is what might be called a “glade” — a marshy open area surrounded by woodlands. The dominant plant is cinnamon fern. Their fronds, when held straight up, are taller than I am. I have camped here before, and find the place very appealing and n.asonably accessible. I found a little spring just a few hundred yards below, which I dug out and dammed up — after it settles it should be a good water supply. A smoky campfire tonight might discourage the mosquitoes. 1 flushed a barred owl from the hemlocks on the way up. That reminded me of my last trip here. It was a frosty October night, and I was alone and exuberant to be in such a private, idyllic place. I had a sudden compulsion to let out a loud, joyous whoop — which I did in mock imitation of a barred owl. Almost immediately, to my surprise there were two barred owls in the tree above me, responding to my call! They were invisible in the darkness but entertained me well into the night with their wild, insane, quavering screams. Bear Dumplings After pitching the tent today 1 discovered a pile of “dumplings" — as an octogenarian friend has called them — which appeared to be fresh bear sign. I had set up camp on a bear trail! Well, I wasn’t sure it was bear droppings so 1 decided to chance it and camp by the marsh anyway. I bent over a birch sapling, tied my food bag onto it, and let it spring back. Now all mv food is OFFICIAL VOTING INFORMATION A Registrar of Voters will be available on the following days for the purpose of visiting, to take their applications to register to vote, qualified persons who are unable to apply for voter registration in person at the office of the General Registrar due to a continuing illness or physical disability that has existed for at least thirty days: Wednesday, September 8,1982 Wednesday, September 15, 1982 Wednesday, September 22,1982 Wednesday, September 29, 1982 Forms for requesting such a visit may be obtained by writing to the address shown below or by calling 675-3739 on Tuesdays or Thursdays between the hours of 8:30 to 4:30.

Kilby, General Registrar Rappahannock County The Courthouse P.O. Box 236 W ashington, VA. 22747 August 26 and September 2,1982 twenty feet up. Of course, a bear could easily bend the tree over, but I’ve made the campsite as safe as I know how. Tonight I may find out whether or not this is a bear trail but I would prefer that it remain a mystery. The trek up to the ridgetop was a little tricky. Devil’s Backbone is a descriptive name, and appropriate. This is a knife-like outcropping running NNE-SSW. Once on the top it’s possible to walk along it for perhaps a mile. But the near-verticsil rock faces on both sides make the last part of the ascent impossible, except at a few places. It requires some searching and a little good judgement to do it safely. The lower slopes are covered with lianas and, higher up, dense carpets of blueberries and other shrubs, so you can’t always see the rocky places where your feet land beneath the bushes on terra firma. A pair of ruffed grouse exploded out of the brush just a few feet away, but I never saw them. I stopped for a few minutes on an open talus slope and a low-flying turkey vulture landed on a snag, at eye level and only about 20 yards away. After a quick perusal the big bird evidently decided I wasn’t dead yet and flew away. There are several vultures that continually cruise along the rocky ridgetop. I study all of them carefully, in hopes that one of the big, black birds might be an eagle. (These are suspected breeding grounds of golden eagles and there’s a far-out chance that I might see one.) Other animals keep me company. Vireos, thrushes, indigo buntings, and scarlet tanagers sing from the wooded slopes below me. Ravens glide along the bare ridge, sometimes approaching from behind and startling me with their abrupt croaky calls. Waves of swallows fly overhead. A mouse — or something — rustles underneath the reindeer moss at my feet. Butterflies fly by so quickly that they are hard to identify but three that hang around are a wood nymph, a redspotted purple, and an Aphrodite fritillary. Ants and flies are pesky here but easily tolerated after those persistent mosquitoes I left below. The sun is scorching hot on these rocks. It is so hot that 1 feel a little sick. Not at all hungry at lunchtime, il you can believe that, bul force myself to eat a little. It is hot but 1 want to sit on the rocks awhile. There are thunderheads and rumbling; all around and I may have tc seek shelter quickly.

The valley to the east, backed by Brushy Mountain, is rough and forested. To the west is a valley which offers a nice perspective of civilization. The sunlight reflects off of dozens of house and barn roofs. The closely grazed, soft green pastures extend to remarkable heights, marked by random rock outcrops, sinkholes, livestock trails, and rows and patches of trees. A cluster of buildings is the community of Blue Grass. A nice pastoral scene. I fancy I would be happy working on any one of these picturesque farms. The rain cometh. It is sweeping down across Snowy Mountain and a storm is bearing down on the’ north end of my ridge. In this heat, I won't mind getting wet but will have to leave the ridgetop. Lightning is something to be feared here. Friday, July 16 Deal's Backbone Highland County, Va. Dear Kaye, Cindy, and Sherry, 1 am writing this from a CAVE! Actually, it’s not a bona fide, water-carved limestone cave, but a deep, dark recess in the oblique shelf-like rocks on Devil’s Backbone. Thanks to this convenient shelter 1 am protected from lightning and rain in the middle (altitudinally speaking) of a Highland County thunderstorm. The weather seems always unstable here. Twenty minutes ago it was blazing hot — probably 100 degrees on top of the rocks just over my head. Now there’s a cold rain and wind. Dozens of flies and a few mosquitoes share my shelter. There’s a little waterfall in front of us, from all the runoff from the exposed rock face. 1 had a tough time getting started on this vacation. From Rappahannock County, I drove all the way to Harrisonburg and realized I’d forgotten a box with all my essentials: binoculars, maps, etc. 1 drove back home and got there at 11 P.M. My truck is still misfiring, backfiring, and oil-burning terribly, and it didn’t need the extra mileage. (Neither did I.) But it was necessary. I’ve never been so scatterbrained in my life. This morning I was on the road at 6:30 and 3 hours later parked the truck near Blue Grass, Va. At noon 1 made my campsite at a nice ferny glade which you’ll hear about. After scrambling up to the ridgetop, I basked in the sun for awhile till the rains came. Treacherous Climb Two hours later: The rains have stopped and I'm back on the rocks. This storm, which 1 just watched flashing over Monterey Mountain to the south, was the head of a cold front. I've been picking my way southward along the sharp edge of the outcrop, shivering from the cold and fruitlessly trying to avoid brushing the wet vegetation. A while ago, I could confidently walk along these rocks. Now it’s really treacherous. The rainwater has swelled the lichens on the rocks and everything's perilously slick. I don’t know much about the geology here, but whatever this rock is, it's unpredictably crumbly. More than once, rocks I was using as hand-holds almost gave way. The whole place has a desolate quality that wasn't here earlier. The sky is heavily overcast. Now. precisely now as I pause after writing the last sentence, a fiery scarlet tanager lands close in front of me — a splash of brilliance under the gray sky. Behind him. through puffs of white fog, is Blue Grass, Va. and surrounding farms, whence come sounds of hammering, cars, sheep and cattle. From here, it is fertile looking land. Beyond the grassy valley are layers of dark ridges and white clouds. 1 know what you're ihinking. Sure, it’s good for me to •Jpend some time alone in the woods once in a while. But why go to such a faraway, isolated, lonely place? Why not Mary's Rock? Why by myself on the mountain called Devil’s Backbone, where people might expect to find copperheads, danger, ... maybe the Devil himself for all 1 know. No, Peace is what I find here, and God's work is more apparent in this undisturbed kind of place than anywhere. And it's not lonely. Down there is all of humanity, spread out in the valley, and I am part of it. It’s just that from here, I have a nice perspective. From here, I can at least try to figure things out. From there, amid all the confusion, there's no chance. Peace. Saturday, July 17 Devil’s Backbone Highland County, Va. Dear Tom. This is the start of a twoweek vacation.

As always, the veather changes fast, r’esterday was scorching hot ip here on the rocks; then a hunderstorm blew in from he north, followed by heavy wercast and cold. When the ;un was getting low I started ,outh along the ridge, from he same point where we were hat fall, when we saw the ralcon, eagle, etc. and watched the blizzards coming it us from Snowy Mountain. You remember that you md the rest of the group left me and went along the ridge southward. 1 went the same way yesterday and found the route to be even more treacherous than you described it. The rocks were slick from the rain, and averhanging branches from trees growing 30 feet below made walking and crawling difficult.. I was chilled and anxious to get down, and really didn’t think the next possible place to descend would be so far south and so hard to approach. A couple of times, I ventured down the rock face on the east side, hoping to find a way. but was unsuccessful and had to climb back to the top. Eventually I came to a place you might remember. A big rock formation in front of me (south) was apparently a barrier. Below me on the left and right, respectively, were the usual sheer rock and overhanging cliff. I considered going back the way I came, but had already come a long ways and thought this way would be shorter and feasible; after all, your group had made it all right. 1 managed to work my way along the west side of the “barrier”, with pretty good handholds, shuffling my feet along under me. At times, my feet were slightly in front of me. so that 1 was leaning backwards over the netherlands. 1 passed a break in the rock — a big crack with a birch iree growing in it — which 1 could have climbed up, but decided to continue sideways. Here the footholds became slippery and uncertain, and the handholds weren t altogether adequate either. I decided to go back towards the break in the rock. As I shifted my weight, I became a little dizzy from the height, and prayed for my life. It’s the only time I’ve ever done that. Suddenly 1 wanted to be around a while longer and tackle all those little problems I had left at home. I managed to inch my way back to the little gap, grabbed the birch tree, and swung myself up on top of the rock. I was a little shaky and sat there for a while. But the worst was yet to come. I saw no way along the west side, and thought I saw a way down to the east, the direction I wanted to go. But the lower I got, the slicker and steeper it became. There was a thick row of trees just below me, but I couldn’t see what was below that, so if I slid down to the trees I might have become stranded there. So there I was, sprawled on the angled rock face, hugging it for the greatest possible friction, darkness approaching and thunder rumbling all around. I spent lots of time motionless, just searching for little crevices that might hold hand or foot. I was there because the dangers behind me had seemed greater than the possible ones ahead. So I don’t consider the decision tc descend there a rash or pooi one, but it was certainly the wrong one. Gimbing back up was slow but not so difficult as the descent. Groping upwards, trusting untrustworthy handholds. 1 got back to the top and after some searching, found a way along tlve west side. I felt pushed for time now and rushed along the crest, till 1 came to where the rock face opened into a deep chasm. This was the break I needed along the east side. From the crest, it was no problem getting to the bottom of the chasm. Whippoorwills were calling as 1 started down. Following it down was reasonably safe but difficult because of all the vines and unstable rocks. It was almost completely dark when I got down to where the woods opened up into some talus slopes, rhe slopes weren't as steep here, but the lower I got, the larger the broken rocks became. Finally there were level woodlands and 1 tripped over a wire fence. That meant the old road (visible from the crest) couldn’t be too far below. I found it soon and followed it back towards the glade where 1 had set up camp. It was pitch dark when I got there and it took me quite a while to pick my way around the marsh to the campsite. I was thankful that I didn’t have a loved one or worse, a father-and-daughter along as you did. Now I understand why it shook you up a little. Like you, I like these wild places but exposed myself to too much danger last night. W.N. Mayberry, DDS will be in his Washington, Va. office from 10 A.M. - 7 P.M. on Thursday. Sept 2 Thursday.

SEPTEMBER 2, 1982 Five Minutes The sirens sounded. Within five minutes, trained emergency medical technicians and firefighters were on the scene in an ambulance and tanker truck. Five minutes. That’s all it took on August 18 for Washington’s volunteers to reach the scene of an accident on Fodderstack Road. Five minutes to reach a spot just a few hundred yards from the site where, two years ago. a home burned to the ground while sirens wailed—and wailed—and wailed, their call unanswered for 20 minutes or more. Five minutes response versus almost a half-hour. The difference lies in timing. For that house fire two years ago, the sirens went off during the morning hours of a weekday. On August 18, the call came around 8 p.m. in the evening. During the work week. Washington’s volunteer fire department and rescue squad have precious few members available to respond to emergencies. The overwhelming majority of the active members of both organizations have jobs outside the county. They're ready to roll on weekends, on holidays and in the evenings but they’re miles away when the sirens call between 7:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. That’s the difference in response time. If the fire two years ago had happened in the evening or on a weekend. that house on the Fodderstack Road probably could have been saved. As it was. the first volunteer to reach the fire station watched black smoke billow into the air while he waited for someone else to arrive so the tanker could leave. After that house fire, we urged some of the men—and women—who stood 1 around waiting for the fire trucks, complaining ab'.u: 'Vie delay, to join the j fire department or rescue squad. Obviously, since they reached the site I so quickly, they had jobs they could I leave, jobs within a few minutes of the , station house. ( We want to repeat that earlier t suggestion. 1 We need fire fighters and rescue personnel available ail day, every day. If you have a job that you can leave in an emergency, if you’re at home or on the farm during weekdays, join an . emergency service unit. It can mean a response time of five minutes for every | fire and rescue call and that could make i a life or death difference. I This Was The News In Bygone Rappahannock Times... JO YEARS AGO . .

There were a few accusations to the effect that it must have been planned, since the ladies had expressed a policy pending to rid the town of all the stray dogs roaming the streets. The visiting newspaper reporters and photographers enjoyed the good natured laugh that ran through the crowd when the sounds of the dog-fight rose into the quiet calm of the afternoon.” __ Support Group Offers Help Are you battered and beaten by the man you live with?

"We want members serving on these committees, not directors.” Reynolds eoneluded. Next Year, Jerusalem Takes Place At Seder Next Year, Jerusalem, the Rappahannock Players upcoming production which will open October 16 at the Gav Street Theatre, is a play about one family s celebration of the Seder at Passover. The origins ot the Jewish spring holiday of Passover are obscure, but it seems to have evolved trom two ancient agricultural festivals which precede the Exodus. It became the annual celebration ot the Exodus itself—the escape of the Jews from enslavement in Egypt. The celebration is enjoined in Exodus 12:17: You shall keep the Feast of unleavened bread, for on this very day I brought your hosts out of Egypt. You shall observe this day throughout the generations as a practice for all times: and Exodus 13:3: Remember the day on which vou went forth from Egypt, from the house of bondage and how the Lord freed vou with a mighty hand Judaism, like Christianity, is a broad umbrella covering widely diverse practices. As one might expect with a holiday celebrated in the intimacy of the family, each familv group develops its own uniquely-1 la vored holiday which reflects the country in which the family lives, the language it speaks, the temple or Judaic stream to which it belongs, and the degree which it perceives the holiday as religious, historic, or simply an occasion to get together. Says Carla Eugstcr. author and director of the play: “I have seen Seders where the leader - the lather or grandfather - drones the Hebrew narrative to himselt as his relatives joke and gossip among themselves. I have seen Seders where each person at the table eagerly follows the written narrative. At a rabbi’s personal setter his guests were encouraged to interrupt at anv time with their thoughts and questions, or to initiate songs belonging to or suggested by the holiday." Some of the traditional symbols at the Seder are the matzah - unleavened bread which serves as a reminder of the hardships ot slavery and the haste of the Jews departure from Egypt (no time to add leavening to the bread); the moror - bitter herbs which signify the bitterness ot slavery; and haroses - an apple-raisin salad which suggests the sweetness of freedom. Christians know from the gospel ot St. Matthew that the Last Supper was a Seder: (Matthew: 26) Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread and disciples came to Jesus saving unto him when wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat at the passover? If vou have never been to a Seder, now is your chance: October IS. 16 and 17 at the Gas Street Theatre in Washington. Va. Author Fugster said. “Eel me sa\ I ha | no Seder meal was ever like the one you will witness in Next Year Jerusalem, tor in this dramatic poem I have taken many liberties with the ritual and the narrative text." She added. "The title ol the play Next Year, Jerusalem is the tinal sentence of the Seder narrative which once expressed the longing ol exiled Jews to return to their homeland and now expresses our belief that one das all people sx ill live in harmons".

Letters To The Editor Disappointed To the editor: As a former native of Rappahannock County, I am very disappointed in regard to my news item in the Viewtown News. In the past, you always gave me a special spread which I have always requested, for instance “Nelson returns from World’s Fair." Your paper is very small so 1 see no reason why you couldn’t have given me a special mention. Please give me an explanation. I did not receive a copy of the paper on August 19, and have called your office twice to send me a paper which I received today. LEWIS C. NELSON Washington,D.C. Editor’s note: Rappahannock sheriff W. A. Buntin. business manager of the Rappahannock News Barbara Burke and Ethel Bailey, co-chairman of this year's local cancer crusade, we just a few of the many county people who visited the World's Fair this year without meriting a special headline and article in the paper. We thought we'd given adequate coverage to Mr. Nelson’s travels by including his visit as the first item in the Viewtown news. A former resident of the Amissville-Viewtown area, he reportedly has several relatives still living in that community. As to the week’s delay in receiving a copy of the August 19 edition of the News, we can not take responsibility for the manner in which the U.S. Postal Service handles second class mail. Petition Opposed To the editor: I am compelled to write this letter for the people who aren't aware of certain facts pretaining to the dismissal of a Rappahannock County school bus driver. ( For several years, a few parents have gone repeatedly to officials in the school system in reference to a particular bus driver and a problem that exisis and has existed for years. But the parents met with no success because too few people were willing to come forward. Their reasons for not stepping forward were “We don’t want to get involved!” Well, finally this past school year more people did get involved. The school board members listened and they took action. We parents that stepped forward and became involved want to say “Thank you” to the school board. It has now been brought to my attention that a petition is going around for signatures to support the re-hiring of this driver. To those people who are concerned for the safety of the children on the school bus, I would like to ask please, do not support this petition. Don't put this person back behind the wheel of a school bus. Respect the decision of the school board on this matter. The board members did a thorough investigation before they came to their decision. Our children’s lives are precious. Let’s protect them as much as possible. Let's not take any chances. Let's stand up and speak out for our children's well-being. We’re all they have. Don’t let our children down. MRS. MITCH HITT Notice We recently heard from Mrs. Sarah C. Latham. Amissville, who served as Associate Publisher of the Rappahannock News until her resignation last April. Not surprisingly, Mrs. Latham is still receiving calls trom persons that are not aware of the fact that she is no longer associated with the News. She has asked that we publish a notice advising readers that may not know that she is no longer working for the Rappahannock News, and that requests for news coverage, advertisements, printing, or other company business be directed to the News office.

His expansion into the office next to his present one on Main St., with its picture of a little factory and brightly-colored rainbow, gives him more space, more display and working area. Miller is one of the few opticians in the state who can make up a prescription lens on the premises. This he does with an assortment of unbelievably "smart” machines, machines that grind and polish factory-made blanks, German-made machines that do edging and finishing, machines with diamonds for cutters and computers for brains. Along with the machines. Front Royal Optical employs three full-time and one parttime local persons. Miller learned his trade in the days before there was a formal curriculum. Opticians served an apprenticeship, working four years with a master optician until they mastered the separate skills involved in fitting and preparing prescription lenses. Now there are courses available for anyone wanting to learn this exacting profession.

After ten years in business he added the machines and over the years he has expanded his selection of frames until he feels he has “just about anything anyone could want.” He numbers many Rappahannock County people among his customers and one of them was also the fastest to leave his office. “We filled a prescription for Tom Massie once,” Miller said. “It was an emergency—he really needed them. Well, he came in at 6:00 and by 6:15 he was ready to go. He couldn't believe it." Another customer broke his glasses late one night and had to leave early the next morning for a business trip. “We made sure he had them," Miller said. "He came in at 11 at night and we filled his prescription.” Besides allowing more room for the machines. Miller thinks that a large display area for frames will allow customers to feel more comfortable about taking their time to select a frame. “We like to leave them alone, if that's what they want," he said. “But we are available to counsel them on the right frame for their face type.” Miller said that fashion in frames right now runs to wire rims for men and fancy plastic for women. “And. of course, there are the designer frames. Just about every name designer has a line of frames or is. about to put one out.” Miller said that they will carry the designer frames but also will try to have available highquality imitations of the designer lines. After 13 years in his business in Front Royal, Miller still finds it interesting and exciting. “We have machines with one-twothousandth of an inch tolerances, people who need very specialized attention, and usually a time element of some importance," he said. "Sometimes it’s a zoo, with us all running around at full speed. But it's varied, it takes concentration and skill, it can be constantly changed and improved.

Leslie and Wilford Poore, father-and-son farming team from Amelia, were stale champion barley producers with 143 bushels per acre. The Poores planted on Sept. 29, two and one-half bushels per acre of certified Barsov barley. They averaged 109 bushels per acre in the 53-acre field from which the two-acre contest plot was harvested. The Virginia average barley yield is 61 bushels per acre. Wheal yields were also above average in 1981 with another record yield entered in ihe contest. Garland Morris of Amelia County grew 98 bushels per acre of Coker 747 wheat. He seeded one and one-half bushels per acre of certified seed in midOctober. Since soil fertility was high, fall fertilizer was not applied. Sixty pounds of nitrogen was applied in February.

By THKRKSA RK^VH.DS Mapitiih.-tnnork Vu» Staff W rilrr At the forefront of the continuing local struggle to make farming possible for the modest landowner is Sam Snead of Washington. Snead has just converted an old barn on his home place into a facility housing a new cider press, storing both cider and apples, and stocking picnic supplies for families who come to Snead’s orchards to pick apples. ‘‘We’re hoping that people will come here and make a day of it,” Snead said. To encourage business at his pick-your-own orchard in Gid Brown Hollow, Snead has made trails leading up to the Shenandoah National Park, which borders his land. He will sell ice, cider, snacks and other miscellaneous picnic items to those who want to have a picnic after a morning or aft.rnoon picking apples. “We want to make their trip up the hollow and to our orchards a pleasant time," Snead said. “Once they’re here, we know that they’ll return.” As costs for fuel, labor, packing and materials go up and payment to farmers tor their products remains the same, Snead knew that he’d have to do something. “Direct marketing will solve a lot of problems for us,” he said. “When the people come here, they pick the apples, have a picnic, maybe buy some cider or hike up to the park. Then they load the apples in to the car and leave. 1 have no other expenses and worries." Snead hopes that eventually from 25 lo 50 perceni of his apples will be sold directly to the consumer. "The only other solution for me at this time would be expansion: leasing land, hiring more labor, finding more buyers.” Snead pointed out that this option almost always means a loss of — Kappahannork Nf%%* I'hntn/T.

Once they come, Snead is sure they'll come back. for them to turn around but they waited their turn and seemed to enjoy it. All we had then was a big bin of apples to choose from. So, I thought, this may be it. 1 can make more, they can pay less.” Snead was also encouraged by the response to his vegetable stand on Rt. 211 next to the Rappahannock Co-Op. Here, he has been selling sweet corn, vegetables quality: “You can only do so much and do it right. I’d rather keep my standards high, enjoy dealing with the public, have a smaller, more personal operation. This step is not without its pitfalls. "We just don't know, we can’t tell yet if it will really work.” Snead was encouraged last year by the response to the signs and maps he had placed around the county. "We didn’t do much advertising at all - just the signs and maps, but people were lined up all the way up and down the driveway. There was no place and fruit. “It’s impossible to let people pick their own corn, but having it right in back of the stand assures them that it's fresh and good,” he said. From his initial efforts in direct marketing. Snead has come away with a philosophy that should help him in his expanded pick-your-own business: "I make sure our customers get good quality fruit and vegetables. 1 try to give them a little extra, provide good, friendly service. That's what people come out to the country for. Word of mouth can help you or hurt you more than anything else." It is a gamble, Snead admits. “You can't risk something like this in these times and not be terribly worried,” he said. In season, the new part of Snead’s operation will provide work for three or four local people. His large cider press will allow him to press as much cider as he can sell, with some left over for other merchants who want to sell it. His new cold storage facility will provide more than ample room to store the cider he presses there. Right now, Snead’s converted barn is empty, the press is brandnew, the shelves bare. His workers are just picking the first of the commercially - marketed apples. Double Red Delicious. Soon he'll have red and golden delicious, Winesaps. Yorks, Staymans and Jonathans, and his signs will go up around the county. Then Sam Snead will know if his gamble has paid off.

She can joke about Rappahannock’s long suit certainly not lying in bench strength and then get on with assessing her team’s positive points. “As soon as they get 4 used to playing together! they’re going to be A-okay,rt McLawhorn emphasized with conviction. The squad has a nucleus of three returning letterwomen from last year: Melissa Turner. Ann Tupper and Kim Settle. Tupper has ‘‘really, really improved and she’ll do a lot for us this year." said the coach. The junior forward is “smart, quick and really on the ball.” she added. Kim Settle, joined by Donna Atkins from last year’s junior varsity contingent. will give the Panthers quickness at guard positions.

Even in the more foul prone, man-to-man set-up, she doesn’t expect her two fast guards to get into difficulties. “They’ve worked really hard on keeping a good space. As long as they don’t reach in, they shouldn't have any foul trouble.” Melissa Turner, the remaining varsity returnee, will be sitting the bench due to medical reasons until the middle of the season. “So in essence, we have one stitute. The girls are going to have to be in really good shape because they're going to have to play an entire game—four quarters, eight minutes each." McLawhorn said. Cindy Bywaters, the only senior on the team, will give the Panthers an outside scoring threat, the coach noted. Inside, she hopes to see the boards dominated by center Natalie Butler and forward Karen Jordan. At 5'8", Jordan is the tallest Lady Panther in a game where the standard height for a center—a girls team center—is six feet or more. But all the schools in the new Bull Run District seem to share Rappahannock’s “short trouble.” according to McLawhorn. “I’ve heard that none of the teams have any real tall players.” she said. However, McLawhorn acknowledged that she hasn’t had a chance yet to scout her opposition. "They start tomorrow just like we do.” “Mizz Mac”, as she’s known to students and parents alike, is a former little guard from her hometown high school in Roanoke. "All four years, we were district and regional champs. There wasn't a state championship then but we would have taken it if there had been one. We were winners, no doubt about it!" That winning attitude helped earn McLawhorn the first woman’s basketball scholarship ever awarded by Longwood College. Unfortunately. medical problems ended her career as a player but the bouncy, ever-smiling brunette is determined to pass on her enthusiasm and talent for the sport to her RCHS girls. She's put last year, her first as a varsity Rappahannock coach, behind her. "Let’s don’t talk about that at all!" she said of the Trout Stocking Fall trout stocking has been scheduled for two area waterways, according to the Virginia Game Commission’s Fish Division. Big Stoney Creek in Shenandoah County is set for stocking on September 2 and Hughes River in Madison County for September 3. ++++ Diplomacy is the art of letting someone have your way. Panthers’ disappointing record in 1981-82. “Let’s talk about this year." She described her seven players as a cooperative unit that works well as a team. ‘‘They’re disciplined and they’re very, very willing to learn. They’re a young team. They’re developing and they're going to be good one day but 1 realize that things don’t happen overnight.” acknowledged McLawhorn, who teaches physical education for grades kindergarten through seventh at the elementary school as well ““as coactiMg girls basketball at RCHS. "But I'm positive and optimistic.” she emphasized with her characteristic grin. "I have a tough bunch of girls. They’ve got a lot of guts. Yes. 1 think we can have a winning season." Rapp Girls Drop Opener The strain of playing a full 32 minutes of basketball took its toll on Rappahannock Tuesday night as the Lady Panthers saw a two point first quarter deficit grow to 16 points at the final buzzer in their season opener against non-district opponent Warren County. With only six girls playing until mid-season when scoring threat Melissa Turner is expected back on the court, the keys to winning for Rappahannock are staying out of foul trouble and conditioning. The RCHS girls had problems with both against Warren. Center Karen Jordan was tagged with her fifth foul and sent to the bench with two minutes left. And the Lady Panthers were tired. They piayeu aggresMve ucicn^c throughout the contest but fatigue began to show in the second half. Despite a tough conditioning regime instituted at the start of summer practice sessions by coach Teresa McLawhorn, the girls weren’t quite in shape and when they started to tire in the second half, they slacked off on offense, throwing away passes into the hands of the Wildcats. Double teaming Warren County ace Sheryl Green, the Panthers were very much in the contest in the early going, trailing only 6-8 at the first quarter and 21-19 at the half. But the taller Wildcat guards moved outside, forcing Rappahannock to spread its zone defense. The strategy worked: Warren County stretched the lead to eight in the third quarter, 37-29, and then doubled the margin before the clock ran out at 59-43. Wildcat guards Kelly Tharpe and Missy Myers connected for 22 and 21 points respectively for high scoring honors. A bright spot for Rappahannock was the rebounding effort displayed by Jordan. Ann Tupper and Natalie Butler, each in double figures. High tally for RCHS went to Tupper with 11 points. She was followed by Jordan with 10. Butler and Kim Settle with eight each, Donna Atkins with four and Cindy Bywaters with two. At the foul line, the Lady Panthers went three for six for 50 percent accuracy. — Rappahannock Nfwn Phnln/D.

School News — Rappahanmirk New* PhiHo/T. R*>n«ild« NEW FACES AT RCHS — Doyle Dawson (left), a UVa grad who started off at Ferrum College, will teach physical education and guide the Rappahannock Panthers on both the basketball court and the baseball diamond. A North Carolinian. Gregory Waters graduated from Lander College and came to RCHS to instruct business education courses. Pre-schoolers To Be Screened On September 7 and 8 between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 pm., a pre-school screening assessment will be held lor all children under the age of.five at the Rappahannock County Elementary' School.' Tne assessment will be in the areas of coordination, selfhelp. movement, social and language development. Rappahannock County Public Schools are required by Public Law 94-142 to hold this county-wide child find. The purpose of the screening is to locate, identify and plan an educational training program for children who have or are suspected of having any of the following conditions: visual, speech, hearing disorders, multiple handicaps, special health problems, learning and developmental delays. The pre-school screening program involves no cost to the parents. Parents are asked to bring their children to the elementary school on Tuesday and Wednesday for the screening. It could make a difference in a child's growth and development. Who are these special Budget School Expenses It anyone anticipates the beginning of the school year with more delight than parents, it may be the retailers. But clothes and school supplies represent only the tip of school expenses. The Consumer Price Index over the last six months showed a jump of 11.3 percent in personal and educational expenses. And these figures account for more than just incidentals. Transportation, food, clothing and entertainment allowances all are affected by the return to school. As you realize the extent oi school expenses, you might want to have your child assume some responsibility for their payment. While parents must provide for their children's education, the student might be given an allowance to use at his or her discretion. The total allowance given to teenagers weekly in the U. S. was recently estimated at $80 million. According to the Rand Youth Poll, the average amount is about $16 weekly per teen. And more young people are holding part-time jobs. i children sought through the screening program? The special child often has difficulty with sitting, standing, walking, talking, seeing, hearing. toilet.-, training, fteding hintself *>r holding his head up straight. ’ He hav have seizures, convulsions, fainting spells, trouble with sucking, swallowing or chewing, breathing problems, asthma or uncoordinated use of limbs. He may be hyperactive — never still and always on the move. He may have a very short attention span or temper tantrums or be overly passive, very still and quiet. The special child frequently seems sad much of the time or is unresponsive, unaffectionate and introverted. He may be drowsy and sleepy. He may stare. He may have slow speech development, unclear or garbled speech or prolonged stuttering. He may be very slow to learn. The special child may have or have had cerebral palsy, epilepsy, heart defect, spina bifid a, muscular dystrophy, rheumatoid arthristis, encephalitis, birth defects, meningitis, rheumatic fever or a severe accident. Special children may be eligible for Rappahannock's preschool program and receive help through tutoring in the home, speech and hearing therapy and parent training. Such services are provided by the Rappa ha nnock County Public School System at no cost to parents. For further informal ion call Patricia Hottinger, preschool handicap treacher. at 987-8259. — Rappahanmick New* Photo/D.

Classic Sportswear Back-to-School F avorite It probably comes as no surprise to anyone to learn that local merchants are selling more jeans than ever to the back-to-school crowd. At the Warren Quality Shop, a Front Royal store specializing in nationallyknown brands, the Sileks reported that their traditional jeans, in both denim and corduroy, were the most popular items. Another big seller has been western shirts, and knit sport shirts are Tdslhg no ground as student status symbols. Khaki pants for dress-up, the classic blue blazer, and both striped canvas and leather belts complete the male student wardrobe. For younger students, the Mother Gooae Shop in Front Royal is selling knickers for little girls. Also popular with its little customers are colors in the purple spectrum: rose, mauve, lavender, plum, wine, and deep purple. In Culpeper, Gene Williams, Assistant Manager for Leggetto, said that his store is experiencing a jump in sales of jeans, oxford cloth shirts, long sleeve knit shirts, and twill work pants. For girls’ dress-up he said that the “prairie look" with tiered skirts and ruffled blouses, has been very popular. "Today’s student is also quite career-minded,” he said. ‘‘Especially college students who may work parttime. They buy clothes that are suuitable for the office and the classroom." Nina Steiteler of the Fashion Shoppe in Culpeper said that her store has been selling jeans as well as sweaters for fall. Among the most popular sweaters are the Fair Isle, with the patterned yoke, "tipped” sweaters with a small stripe around the neck; and white or light-colored sweaters with a thin horizontal stripe. Steiteler said that many of her customers told her that they would be back in to buy more when they “saw what the other kids were wearing”. * — Rappahannock New* |*hn|o/T.

There are three main types of athlete's foot infections and they are all called opportunists. Some people sweat much more profusely from their feet, wear synthetic stockings (nylon and arcylics) and don’t powder their feet to absorb the moisture. To prevent these infections if you sweat profusely wear cotton stocks, wash and dry your feet well, powder your feet once or even twice a day. Remember the powders can only prevent the infections they cannot be used as a treatment once the infection is established. A public service with the aim of promoting a better foot health environment.
