SAlfPLS Since 1877 33rd TEAR, NO. 36 USPS45558C 12 Pages THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1682 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA Phone 67.'>-3349 25* Verdict In Holmes Trial Contested By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rnppnhnnnock V»* Staff ^ nt*-r The hell sounded in round two of the $1.8 million Holmes estate case last Thursday with attorney David Konick asking that the verdict in the three week long trial he set aside based on alleged errors in the court's instructions to the jury. Beginning in mid-July, seven Rappahannock jurors listened to 12Vi days of testimony before finding on August 5 that Earl E. Holmes, retired Marine Corps officer and Flint Hill orchardist who died of liver cancer in November, 1979. executed a valid will a month prior to his death, leaving his entire $1.8 million estate to his doctor, naval commander Peter Nielson. Col. Holmes' only close relative, his sister Ruth who died just three months after her brother, left instructions in her will, directing her executor to challenge her brother's bequest. Lawyers for Ruth Holmes’ estate maintained that the colonel was not mentally competent when he signed the oneparagraph typewritten will in his bed at Bethesda Naval Hospital the day after Nielson told him he had just two weeks to live. They also argued that Holmes made his will while under Dr. Nielson's "undue influence" and that the document had been fraudulently altered. The jury found otherwise but Konick insisted on Thursday that their verdict was the result of misdirections from Judge Shore Robertson in his hour long instructions on the law before deliberations began. In the trial, testimony came from medical experts, friends and relatives, business associates and acquaintances of the 76-yearold ex-Marine. “Witnesses” at Thursday’s hearing were legal authorities and supreme court justices, most long dead, who were cited in a lengthy list of legal precedents and case law. Before beginning his arguments. Konick asked Robertson to set aside the verdict and order a new trial if the judge saw grounds for a reversal rather than waiting for the appeal process to take the issue before the Virginia Supreme Court, an avanue that might take as long as two years. "We have a number of witnesses who are very old...who may not oe with us if we have to go to Richmond for a ruling." Konick said. Great Weight Addressing Robertson's instructions, Konick pointed out that (he court had (old the jurors that they could give great weight to the testimony of the attesting witnesses, nurse Georgia Liston Dailey and Sgt. Edward Stevenson, who witnessed the colonel’s will signing. According to evidence given during the trial, both were called into Col. Holmes’ room by Dr. Nielson and asked by Holmes to witness the signing of a document. Konick cited the case of Chapel v. Trent, "old but certainly not outdated," in which a Dr. Nelson was called to his elderly patient’s death bed to make a will. Mr. Chapel, described in court papers as “a very peculiar man...close and stingy to a degree approaching miserly meaness" who lived and died a bachelor, had expressed a desire to leave some property to his farm overseers, the Trents, Konick said. Dr. Nielson came to Chapel's bedside and suggested he would write (he will for Mr. Chapel. The will, read to the old man in the presence of witnesses who stood at the end of the bed. left the entire estate to the Trents, the lawyer said. During the reading. Chapel nodded at several points and even questioned Nielson whether he would benefit. The doctor replied that no. just the Trents, were beneficiaries and signed the will on Mr. Chapel's behalf, said Konick. A jury upheld the will initially but on appeal to the Supreme Court, the decision was reversed, Konick noted. The Virginia Justices found that since Chapel had acted in haste without an opportunity for the calm reflection called for by an act of such importance, the (Continued on Pane 3) Barron Named To REC Board By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON KapiMihannock Vh» Staff I rit«*r Theodore C. Barron of View town has been re-elected to the Board of Directors of Rappahannock Electric Cooperative. Prior to the incorporation of Rappahannock Electric Cooperative in 1980. Barron had served on the board of Northern Piedmont Electric Cooperative for over twenty years. He held positions of both vice president and treasurer of that organization and has been active on a siate level as a director of the Virginia, Maryland and Delaware Association of Electric Cooperatives. Barron currently owns and operates Barron’s Store in View town. He is a charter member and past president of the Amissville Ruritan Club. Barron, and his wife, Margaret, attend Amissville United Methodist Church where he has served as treasurer, board chairman, and steward. He also held the position of treasurer of Little Fork Charge of the United Methodist Church and seived on the administrative committee for over 25 years. A new slate of cooperative officers was elected during the board of directors meeting which immediately followed REC’s annual membership meeting on August 28. Executive officers include. J. Shelby Guss. president. Bowling Green; Frank D. Ashley, vice president. Falmouth; Eugene L. Campbell, treasurer, Manquin; and R. Lindsay Gordon, secretary. Orange. Elected to serve on the board with Barron were William M. Alphin, Culpeper; Gary W. Sarkozi, Culpeper; Lee S. Estes, Ruckersville; William C. Frazier, Montpelier; Oran V. Jarrell, Ruther Glen; J. S. Andrews, Bumpass; A. Miller Arritt, Spotsylvania; Elwood C. Towsey, Mineral; William F. Jeter, Milford; and new director William E. Lane of Millers Tavern. Financing Coats High In further business brought before the approximate 400 members and friends of the cooperative, Guy C. Lewis Jr., executive THEODORE BARRON vice president and general manager, reported on the organization's activities tor 1981. Lewis expressed great satisfaction in the progress made by the less than threeyear-old cooperative and voiced his concern over the high cost of financing and the ever increasing wholesale power costs from VEPCO. Lewis encouraged everyone to read the cooperative’s annual report for a detailed analysis of the financial picture. “You will note that the cost of wholesale power represented 78.2 percent of our total revenue (1981). Other uncontrollable costs totalled 10.1 percent, leaving only 11.5 percent for operating the entire system, including salaries, supplies, transportation, insurance, repairing lines after storm damage, etc.," Lewis said. He went on to outline the cooperative’s cost-cutting efforts for the year which included the reduction in the workforce of four employees. “Our operating costs through July this year are over $472,000 less than budget,” Lewis continued. Lewis voiced his concerns over the cooperative’s margins of only .2 percent for 1981. Lewis added, “Although our members enjoyed rates that were too low, the effect really hurts us in the long run. We gained no equity in the system and we were unable to return any of the capital credits you have accumulated over the years." Lewis continued. "We. at Rappahannock Electric, know we cannot provide you with electricity for less than our city friends are paying. After all. we are serving only 5.8 consumers per mile of line as compared with over five limes that number per mile served by investor -owned power companies." VEPCO Studied Lewis reported that all of the cooperatives in Virginia study very carefully each VEPCO increase and employ consulting engineers to analyze the rate application so that any unjustifiable portions can be opposed. Lewis said. "Even though VEPCO is allowed to put the rale into effect, it is subject to refund if they are not allowed the full amount by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. In the last case, our objections won us a refund of $687,443, which will be returned to you over a period of several months in the form of a reduction in your monthly bills." According to Lewis, the cooperative’s Load Management Program holds much promise for reducing the demand segment of Rappahannock’s wholesale power bill. "For every 1,000 watts we can eliminate from our peak demand, we can save over $12 on our monthly bill from VEPCO under (heir new rale. This means that one water heater cut off during the peak would reduce our bill that month by over $54,” he said. Lewis pointed out that the cooperative will recover its investment in this program in about three years. Lewis announced that the new corporate headquarters building in Fredericksburg would be completed about this time next year. Presently both offices are over-crowded and parking has become a problem in Bowling Green. "We were able to borrow most of the money for the building from the Rural Electrification Administration at 5 percent interest,” he added. Outgoing president, William M. Alphin, thanked the members, employees, and (Continued on Page 2) — Rappahannock N«*wt* Photo'T.

Animal Shelter To Charge For Rappahannock Animals ByTHKRKS X RK\ NOI.IIS H a|i|>aha*tn«»rk SuCf 'R rilrr The Culpeper Animal Shelier is ihe newest facility on the list'd! out-of-county services to balk at solving Rappahannock problems with other people’s tax dollars. The Shelter, financed by the Culpeper Animal Welfare League and Culpeper County taxes, recently decided to stop accepting Rappahannock animals unless paid for their care. “I didn’t want to refuse the animals altogether." said Shelter manager Donna Roy, "although it may come to that. But it’s not fair to expect Culpeper County residents to finance a shelter for all the surrounding counties, none of whom are w illing to build their own." Roy said that Rappahannock County admissions had dropped sharply since the charge was added. "One woman even refused to pay or lake back her animal." Roy said. "That puts us in a terrible position." Roy said she hoped that the $10.00 charge would solve the problem for a while. “This barely covers the expense of feeding the animal for a week’s stay." she said. "A much better solution would be for each county to have it’s own shelter, as required by law." State Law The state law, ratified in February, 1981, says in part, that each city and counts must maintain an animal pound with the following guidelines set forth by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services: All kennel buildings and enclosures shall provide adequate protection against weather extremes for each animal. The floors and wall of such enclosures, buildings and runs shall be of a surface material that will permit proper cleaning and disinfecting. Building temperature shall be maintained at a temperature com 1'ortable lor ■p.ach animal. Each such building and enclosure shall provide adequate ventilation tor each animal and shall he kept clean, dr\ and in a sanitary condition; animals shall be maintained in quarters so as to prevent their escape, protect them from injury and safeguard them from being stolen; acceptable materials for cage construction are stainless steel. fiberglass. heavy galvanized metal, galvani/ed wire, or their equivalent. Individual cages shall have solid bottoms; pallets or resting boards constructed of a non-porous material may be provided so animals can rest or sleep oft the floor; there shall be faucet and hose connections provided a t convenient locations tor washing and cleaning the animal housing area; and disinfectants or germicidal agents shall be used when cleaning the housing or confinement area. Of the counties surrounding Culpeper, only one is in apparent compliance with the state law. according to Roy. Fauquier has an animal shelter. Madison and Rappahannock have animal control officers but no shelter; Orange has a dog pound but no provision for other animals. The Culpeper facility is the only one available for mans surrounding residents, and Roy said that they do handle a sizeable amount of out-ofcounty dogs, cats and wild animals each year. Animals at the shelter are kept as long as there is a reasonable chance for adoption; efforts are made to improve their health if it is poor; they are given required shots and when adopted, it is with the understanding that their new owners will have them spayed or neutered at a reduced rate by a local veterinarian. In addition to managing the shelter, Roy is President of the Board of Directors of Eq. Board Still Sitting Properly owners with complaints regarding values set on their land, house or improvements in the recent 100 percent fair market value re-assessment have until December 31, 1982, to register their comments with the county's Equalization Board. The Equalization Board will schedule a hearing dale as soon as it receives sufficient requests to justify a day's session. To request a hearing, property owners should contact the commissioner of revenue's office in Washington, 675-3513. ihe Culpeper Animal Welfare League. Last June, partly in response to the efforts of the League, the Virginia Federation of Humane Societies threatened suit against Madison County for non-compliance with the Animal Welfare Law cited above. This group, as well as any other group or private individual, can tile a writ of mandamus, asking for a court order directing a governing body to comply with the law. Letter to Madison In a letter to Madison Counts Board of Supervisors Chairman J. T. Williamson dated June 14. The Virginia Federation of Humane Societies threatened to bring action against the counts unless steps were taken to comply with the law. Federation President and Field Investigator Walter Lane saiil that the group plans to move ahead with court action against the counts. "We're suing local governments all over Virginia," Lane said. "We've found that counties simply do not respond otherwise. Rural governments are just not used to taking care of their animals properly. Lane's last contact with Rappahannock was in April of 14SI. when he wrote a letter to Rappahannock Supervisors notifying them that the methods used to dispose of animals were not in compliance with Slate euthanasia guidelines. In Rappahannock County, confiscated animals are disposed of with firearms. According to a state law passed in 1477. sodium phenobarbitol or a carbon monoxide solution are the only two acceptable means of enthanasia. except in extreme cases where an animal cannot be caught. Ihe problem was compounded when the Warren County animal facility refused to accept Rappahannock animals for disposal. The Supervisors have not dealt with the problem since then. Haven’t Forgotten "We haven’t forgotten about the problems there.” said Lane. "I'm surprised that state environmental officials have not been in touch with the county about the possible polluting effects of carcasses in the waterways." Lane said that the (Continued on Page 12) No Reply Yet On Request As of Tuesday. Rappahannock's common wealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner had not received a response from the county School Board's special legal advisor regarding Baumgardner's request for copies of two architectural reports. Baumgardner made his request for the reports and other documents in a letter dated August 23 after receiving complaints from the Rappahannock News and Amissville resident Olga Fontaine that the School Board had violated Virginia's Freedom of Information Act by refusing to release the documents. Under FOl. the School Board has a maximum of 21 days to answer the inquiry. In his letter to superintendent of schools Robert Estabrook. Baumgardner also requested information on Rappahannock's contributions to Piedmont Vocational Technical Center sought by Fontaine and a copv of a report on a proposed index salary scale which the News had asked for along with the architectural reports. Baumgardner added in his letter that he would forward the documents to Fontaine and the News. In an August 31 reply. Estabrook informed the commonwealth’s attorney that his request for the architectural reports had been referred to the School Board's special legal counsel, Phillip Stone, and that a response would be forthcoming. 1 he data sought In Fontaine will be supplied, the superintendent wrote. He also reported that the report on the index salary proposal had been delivered to the New s. The "w orking" draf t of the salary index proposal shows existing compensation levels tor all school employees on an artificial index based upon $12.192. the 1982-83 beginning teachers' salary with zero years of experience. Salaries for teacher aides, totaling $75,5%. range from 44 percent of a first year teacher’s pay for first year aides to 48 percent for aides with four year’s experience. Fifteen bus drivers receive 33 percent of a starting teacher's pay; one driver for a short route receives 23 percent and three drivers with long routes 86 percent for a total expenditure of $87,599. Pay tor school secretaries ranges from 74 percent ot a first year teacher’s compensation tor a first year secretary to 87 percent tor a secretary with II years on the job. This year, an administrative secretary gets 79 percent ot the 1982-83 starting teacher's pay. the special services secretary 74 percent and the bookkeeper 103 percent. Using the first year’s teacher’s $12,192 compensation as the base of the artificial index scale, the high school principal gets 221 percent of that amount; elementary principal 204 percent; high school assistant principal 181 percent; elementary assistant principal Ib8 percent; special services coordinator 148 percent; supervisor of transportation 125 percent; school bus mechanic 59 percent; maintenance supervisor 112 percent; high school cusiodium 53 percent; elementary school custodian 73 percent; cafeteria supervisor, managers and chief cook 49 percent and cafeteria workers from 37 percent with one year’s experience to 42 percent with three war’s experience. On the artificial index scale, experience pay increments tor teachers range Iront one percent after three vears in the Rappahannock sxstem to three percent for the remaining steps except after nine. 12 and 17 vears at which points teachers currently get two percent raises. The report, prepared by assistant superintendent Gerald Lysik. notes that the school board had agreed earlier by consensus to review the salarx index concept at the August 10 meeting. “In an attempt to develop an appropriate starting point it becomes essential that the school division’s present 1982- 83 salarx structure for all categories of employment be reviewed." Lysik maintains. The assistant superintendent recommends in the report that the School Board (I) decide what steps should be created for all categories of employment where steps do not currently exists (2) revise existing steps where neccssarx (3) establish an index figure for every step within every category of employment and (4) review the status of a proposed 1983- 84 salarx index at the September 14 meeting. — KapfNkhanntM'k Nn»» PHmn/T.

A Home For The Homeless At Culpeper Animal Shelter By THERESA RF^ \OFDS Ha|>|Mihiinnork Nn*» '■'taff I ritrr A day at the Culpeper Animal Shelter begins early when the cages are swept and cleaned, the animals are fed, and individual needs are attended to. At 11:00 the doors open for new- arrivals. Through these doors in the past years have come hosts of dogs and cats, pigeons, chickens, guinea pigs, ducks, rats, quirrels. skunks, owls, gerbils and horses. Shelter Manager Donna Roy said that most wild animals that the Shelter serves are those found wounded by concerned people. The dogs and cats come from unwanted litters, pick-ups by the dog warden, and lost pets that are sometimes reunited with anximous owners. For many of them, the shelter is a temporary home; for some it is the best home they have ever had. and for others it is a final stop in a life of neglect and abuse. A depressing business? “No.” says Roy. "I try to think of our service in a positive way. There are some days when my heart is broken, when my confidence in human nature is severely tried. But even with those animals we must Happaljamuick News Rappahannock & Adjoining Counties per year $8.00 Elsewhere in the U S. per year $10.00 Outside the U S. per year $8.00 plus postage SUBSCRIPTION RATES BY MAIL ALL PAYABLE IN ADVANCE ( ) New ( ) Renewal ( ) Check Enclosed NAME_ ADDRESS __ CITY___ STATEZIP __ Entered as second class mail at the Post Office in Warrenton, Va.

In with the sad cases are some real successes. “Traveler”, a dog who roamed the streets of Culpeper and frustrated the dog warden on several occasions, was finally brought to the Shelter and placed in a new home. Roy captured him with a homemade lasso, but once confined, he loved the Shelter and wasn’t at all anxious to get out. Before his successful placement, he escaped from one home and made his way back for several visits to the shelter. Another dog was lost right at the Rappahannock County line by a woman traveling through. Roy’s efforts located the woman and returned the dog in a few days. Donna Roy is ideally suited for her job - a job she did on a volunteer basis until the Shelter was funded by Culpeper County last January. “As a child, I always wanted to be a vet,” she said. “But times were different then and my father thought that the life of a vet would be no life for a woman. So I volunteered twelve years ago to help here and now my position is funded." Roy is also President of the Board of Directors for the Animal Welfare League in ihe countv. “I know that humane workers have the image of being little old ladies in tennis shoes, concerned about animal rights but oblivious to everything else. Well, I’ve tried to dispel that image here by running the shelter efficiently. But the years go by and I tell people that soon I will be a little old lady in tennis shoes. This is the work that I love.” Roy's work day doesn’t always end when she leaves the shelter at night. Often she takes animals home for observation or round-theclock care. Her permanent home menagerie consists of three dogs, six birds and a boa constrictor. “I’d take some cats home, too, if my dogs would allow it,” she said. Her favorite is Slick, an affectionate long-term resident of the Shelter. It’s quite obvious that anyone wishing to adopt Slick will face severe scrutiny by Roy. Limited funds and increasing demands tor space have forced the Shelter to establish a $10.00 fee for outof-county residents who wish to bring in animals. “We try to discourage other counties from bringing animals here,” she said, “ but the fee does help. My only concern is what ts happening to animals that are no longer brought here because of the charge." Roy quoted the Virginia law, passed in 1981, stipulating that each county or city in Virginia maintain a shelter under certain guidelines. ‘‘I can’t tell people in other counties what to do." she said. “1 can only tell them what we do here.” Roy said that there is ‘‘excellent” cooperation between the shelter and the animal control officer. The shelter also serves as a pound for the county, a facility that until recently was maintained separately. —REC— (Continued from Page 1) fellow board members for their support during his three-year tenure as president.

The Justices held that the witnesses should have made old Mr. Chapel repeat the major provisions of his will without prompting as evidence that he was of sound mental condition to make a valid will. Konick reported. He noted that Chapel didn't tell the witnesses that he'd called them in to witness a will. The Supreme Court found that omission in itself should have made the witnesses question Chapel's mental competence. “They didn't ask questions and he didn’t sav it was a will—that's the verv same Heal REALTY WORLD&U—+% dt. ^Estate KAITOI ON THE ROOF If you are inclined toward the purchase of an old home, one of your prime considerations should be the condition of the roof. You can get a quick idea of the condition by a good look from the ground, f - instance, are there any se or missing shingles? Are some areas of different shades or texture indicating roof repairs? Is the metal flashing at junctions (where roof meets walls or chimneys) in good shape? Are gutters and downspouts clean, rustfree and in good repair? Downspouts should discharge onto splash blocks directed away from the house, into drains or into an underground dry well. How old is the rooting and what is it made of? Some types last longer than others. Asphalt shingle roofing is very common and usually lasts 15 to 20 years. It sometimes equals wood and asbestos cement in durability, though these generally average 30 years or so. Slate and clay tile normally have even longer lifespans and can remain in good condition 40 vears or more.

In addition, by telling the jurors they could give great weight to the testimony of the attesting witnesses, nurse Dales and Sgt. Stevenson, the court invaded the province of the jury. "The jurors are the sole judges of the weight of the evidence." Konick argued. Military Environment Recalling that the execution of the alleged will took place in a military hospital. Konick pointed out that ENSIGN Daley and CORPSMAN Stevenson were called into the patient's room by LI. COMMANDER Nielson. his voice emphasizing the differences in rank. Daley was a new nurse who supervising doctor on the ward described as h x si erica I. said Konick, adding that according to testimony at the trial, she'd given the wrong patient a bottle of chemotherapy. Stevenson, who is black, was then a corpsman new to Bethesda called to the colonel's room by a white lieutenant commander, the attorney noted. In those circumstances. Konick said, "sou don't ask questions — sou gol And that's just what happened." Although both Stevenson and nurse Dales in their trial testimony were able to recall in great detail conversations with Col. Holmes before and alter the will signing on October 27, 1479. neither could remember what was said in his hospital room on that critical day. Koniek told the court. "Why is that? Why can’t anyone remember what this poor old dying man said?" According to the testimony of both witnesses, the attorney continued, till they could remember Col. Holmes saying over a one to two minute time span was that he wanted their help in witnessing the signing of a document. The inference made by Dr. Nielson. Koniek said, is that the colonel wasn't any more specific because he didn't want anyone to know about the will; that he wanted to keep it tt surprise. "It was a surprise all tight. The only question is whether it was a surprise to Col. Holmes!” Nurse A Liar He acknowledged that in testimony during the trial, nurse Daley said she'd read the will herself before signing it. In her first deposition, however, she said she didn't read it. Koniek noted. And when she was confronted bv Betty Paleologos, Ruth Holmes' friend the executor in the sister's will, a few davs alter the colonel's death and told how the terms of the will had upset the colonel's 78year-old sister to the point where she’d stopped eating, nurse Daley threw up her hands and said "I'm not getting involved," Koniek told the court.

Yet in a note to Ruth Holmes thanking her tor a box of candy she'd sent to the ward staff, Daley wrote that the colonel spoke of his sister “lovingly all the time." Konick said. Recalling that nurse Daley had been asked to read that note on the witness stand, he pointed out that she'd omiled that line. the witnesses—Nielson. Daley and Stevenson—had a legal duty to find out from Col. Holmes that he knew s'hcit he was doing when he signed his will by asking him to repeat the major provisions front memory, Konick emphasized again and again. Dr. Nielson said he didn't ask for that evidence because he didn’t know the document was a will, the attorney added./ Konick maintained, however, that Nielson's lack of *;\#areness didn't change the requirement. "Everything (in Nielson's case) is based on an assumption. And what is that assumption? Colonel Holmes asked (Daley and Stevenson) to witness his signature on a document and everyone ASSUMED he knew what was in ilKonick said, arguing lhai ihe assumption couldn't be made with anyone but especially not with an old man who was terminally ill and on his death bed suffering from both senile dementia and a liver disease that affected his brain. Ihe testimony of the two attesting witnesses doesn’t prove a thing. Konick argued, because (1) they weren't called to the room by the testator and (2) they didn’t ask the testator the required questions to ascertain whether he was of sound mind.

SEPTEMBER 9. 1982 Community Spirit This Saturday is a perfect time for Rappahannock's community spirit to burst into full bloom. Volunteers of all ages with strong backs and yard tools are needed from 9 a.m. until noon to help with the cleanup of the county’s first park at the Recreation Center across the highway on Route 211 from Washington. Members of the former Rappahannock Recreation Association, which created and managed the center after the four acre tract was donated by Col. Earl Holmes, persuaded the county supervisors to turn the old association into an arm of local government, the Rappahannock Recreation Authority. As a governmental entity, the authority was eligible for state grants. It lost no time in applying for funds from the Virginia Commission on Outdoor Recreation and was successful in the first shot out of the gate, winning a $63,837 matching grant to build tennis courts, basketball courts, picnic areas and an exercise trail this summer. There was even money left over for new playground equipment. The authority made up the local share by giving the county title to the recreation center property, creating the first county park. But the supervisors were willing to accept, title to the land only after assurances that they wouldn’t be asked to allocate tax dollars for the park's maintenance. That's where the community spirit comes into play. If the county isn’t to spend funds from the local budget to maintain the park, free labor has to come from somewhere. It’s a park that belongs to the people of Rappahannock and the people of Rappahannock need to turn out early Saturday morning to paint signs, put together the new swing sets, clear weeds from the exercise trail and rocks from the playground area, dig holes for the barbeque pits down by the river and a long list of other “parkkeeping” chores. It won’t be all sweat and no fun. The Recreation Authority is providing cokes and hotdogs and in between tasks, there will be plenty of time for comraderie and getting to know your neighbor who is working the weedeater or wielding the hammer. We hope to see a host of Rappahannockers there. This Was The News In Bygone Rappahannock Times... 10 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS T^'O FAIRFAX County youths attempting to travel down a low Rappahannock River on a raft became lost and were rescued by Amissville rescue squadsmen. The boys were found huddled together for warmth in a field after they tried at dusk to scratch up enough leaves to make a bed and shield themselves from the cool night air. Aubrey H. Keyser was elected general chairman of the McGovernShriver campaign committee for the county at an organizational meeting held at the Harris home in Huntly. Rappahannock’s Board of Supervisors voted to hold a hearing on a proposal to raise dog tag fees to $3 for males, $3 for unsexed females and $5 for females but with strong misgivings by some members that the proposal will fill the court house. The action came in response to a dog fund depleted since July which required transfer of money from the general treasury to pay the dog warden’s salary for August. HE LARGEST county turn-out ever for the mobile was reported with 48 donors volunteering to give blood. The Rev.

Battle Run Duke for best male Irish setter and Battle Run Clancy for second best. Trixie also took home the blue ribbon, rosette and gold trophy at competition in Front Royal sponsored by the Game Protective Association. The dogs were handled by Capt. Warwick, Jock Brown and Bill Warwick. The Board of Supervisors voted to join the counties of Fauquier and Prince Williams in securing a health unit. Personnel for the unit, which will have an office in Rappahannock, include a part-time health officer, a half-time sanitation officer, a full-time public health nurse and a full-time clerk. A Japanese Beetle Grub Survey conducted in Rappahannock by the state entomologist reported an average of 422,532 grubs per acre. It is hoped that the public in general will get concerned enough over this menace to start a wholesale war against the, beetles. In urging support for the new consolidated high school, a Rappahannock News editorial concluded that “The important thing is that the people of Rappahannock should have the best possible school in which to train its future citizens—the most priceless asset of any community!” The Culpeper Book Store advertised six and eigh exposure rolls of black and white and color film for 59 cents. On the classified pages, P.M.

As a general rule it is little noted nor long remembered by the public at large. For the most part, the power brokers involved like it that way. This is unfortunate, because every now and again things occur which hardly create a blip in the flow of more eye-catching news events, yet they have the potential of a profound impact on the way the public's business is transacted in Mr. Jefferson’s Capitol. Such was the case last week when Sen. Edward E. Willey of Richmond, president pro-tem of the Senate and chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, unveiled a "simple little change” in the role the Senate will play henceforth in the state's budgetmaking process. Since the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, the initial introduction of appropriations legislation has been the exclusive preserve of the House of Delegate^. Briefly described, the budget building procedure goes something like this: Money Committee* In the months before an assembly session, administration representatives and members of the legislative money committees meet to weigh the fiscal needs of the Commonwealth against the revenue available to meet those needs. The money committees are the House Appropriations Committee, which determines the spending requirements of the state, the House Finance Committee which writes the tax laws necessary to raise the money to be spent, and, on the Senate side, the Senate Finance Committee which has both responsibilities. Once the basic budget document is agreed upon, it is introduced in the form of the Appropriations Bill in the House of Delegates. This occurs during the first few days of the session. The bill is then referred to the House Appropriations Committee which spends the next few weeks conducting hearings, making adjustments and finally reporting the measure out to the House floor about two weeks before the end of the session. The bill is routinely passed and sent to the Senate, where it is referred to the Finance Committee. With only days to go until adjournment, the Senate attaches any amendments it deems necessary, passes the amended bill and returns it to the House which, again routinely, rejects the Senate Amendments and asks for a Committee of Conference to resolve the differences. Compromise Measure* The House and Senate conferees meet, come up with a compromise measure which then goes to both Houses for final passage. This sometimes takes place in the wee hours of the assembly’s closing night. The procedure has long grated on Sen. Willey, who considers it unfair for the House to have six weeks in a regular session to consider the budget bill while the Senate only has two weeks to come up with its own proposals. Hence his simple little change in the ground rules. He plans to introduce an identical budget bill in the Senate at the same time the measure is introduced in the House. The bill will then be referred to nis committee early in the session. Sen. Willey says hearings will be conducted on the measure’s controversial features and a more deliberate approach can then be made to formulating the Senate's position on the appropriations package. He also insists that the change is not his idea, but that he is making it at the unanimous request of his committee. Perhaps so, but Capitol observers know that the merest frown of disapproval from the venerable Senator would have kept the plan from ever seeing the light of day. Complications Expected Both administration and House sources say privately that the move will vastly complicate, rather than simplify, the budget building process. They worry that instead of a relatively few senate amendments, the conferees at the end of the session will find themselves confronted with the task of reconciling two full-blown pieces of appropriations legislation, with both Houses holding on to strongly entrenched positions on critical items. Whatever the intent of the move may be, and whatever its outcome, the change is, by any objective measure, a major invasion of traditional House turf. Its harshest critics call it a bald bid for power by the Senate in general and by Sen. Willey in particular. Whether the budget process is streamlined, deadlocked, or not changed much by the Willey proposal will be first tested when the 1983 short session convenes in January. That session will be dealing with Gov. Charles S. Robb’s austere mini-budget for the remainder of the 1982-84 biennium. It should be an interesting test. Neither the House nor the Senate regard their prerogatives lightly. Nor does Sen. Ed Willey. County's Pre-History Visited At Library Do you have a dig? Or have you dug? Whatever the answer, local people will be particularly interested in the program which will be presented by the Rappahannock County Library on Thursday, September 23, at 7:30 p.m. The director of the Thunderbird Excavation program and president of the Thunderbird Research Corporation, Dr. William M. Gardiner, will give a talk and slide show. After his presentation, he will also examine local finds brought for identification. In a talk entitled “The Pre-history of Rappahannock County as seen from the Other Side of the Blue Ridge,” Dr. Gardiner will trace almost 12,000 years of area history for his audience. An increasingly well known museum and archeological park, Thunderbird is operated so as to benefit the public by providing scientific and educational opportunities. By bringing his program to Rappahannock from Thunderbird's home in the Shenandoah Valley, Dr. Gardiner hopes to encourage his listeners here to search for artifacts in their own environment and to visit the museum to see how archeological research is best accomplished and to view the end products of excavational efforts. Rappahannock residents and friends of the Library throughout the area are urged to mark September 23 on their calendars and attend this special program. Poetry Contest A $1,000 grand prize will be awarded in the upcoming poetry competition sponsored by World of Poetry, a quarterly newsletter for poets. Poems of all styles and on any subject are eligible to compete for the grand prize or for 99 other cash or merchandise awards, totaling over $10,000. Rules and official entry forms are available from the World of Poetry, 2431 Stockton Blvd., Dept. D, Sacramento, California, 95817.

Rappahannock County School News RCHS Gains Support From New Friends By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock IMrwa Suff Writer Rappahannock County High School has a new bunch of friends. Organized last year, the RCHS Boosters are now actively pursuing their goal of supporting the high scool, both financially and philosophically. The Boosters invite anyone interested in their effort — parents, nonparents, teachers and students — to attend the club's first meeting of the current school year, set for September 20 at 8 p.m. in the RCHS cafeteria. The group is not just an athletic booster club. "We hope to aid ALL phases of school life with an emphasis on academics," explained Barbara Dennis, president of the Boosters. That aid will take the form of volunteer help as well as fund raising efforts. Last year, the group took a survey of high school teachers and found tutoring services for students a high priority. Teachers also listed transportation to the county library for students, clerktyping assistance in the school library and a compilation of county residents willing to make presentations -RappahannockBusiness & Service Directory ..Call 675-3349 to Place Your Ad!~ ~ Only $2.30 per week for a 1 inch space! -13 WEEK CONTRACT AVATAR igr Appliance A |tefrigeraf f 347-0570 forthe change to GOOD SERVICE Beauticians r \ I New Adventure Salon!

The RCHS staff also suggested several construction projects including insallation of cement steps leading down the hill to the track and building additional classrooms but construction work is beyond the means of the fledging booster club, Dennis noted. However, other areas of volunteer assistance are the types of aid the Boosters plan to offer at the high school and so sign-up sheets for volunteers will be ready for names at the September 20 meeting. In addition, the special guest at that session will be new RCHS principal Robert Chappell who will give a short speech and then accept questions from the audience. Booster Club officers — president Barbara Dennis, vice-president Nancy Schoppet, treasurer Margaret Strawser and secretary Marie Davis — will be introduced at the general membership meeting and will report on the fund raising activities planned to date. On September 17, the Boosters will sponsor a getacquainted sock hop in the high school gym from 7:30 to II p.m. In compliance with directions from the RCHS administration, only eighth, ninth and tenth graders will he admitted to the dance.

It’s hard out here in the country for them to see each other. They can't even talk on the telephone because most of the time, it's long distance," Schoppet said. "With the dance, the kids will have a good time and we'll make some money to buy things for the school," she said, adding that the Boosters hope to be able to sponsor more social activities like the "Back to School Boogie."

In Cross Country Coach Predicts Strong Finish It's going to be another good year for Rappahannock's cross country runners. In 1981-82, the Panthers were second in their district, third in the regionals and third in the state's single “A" finals and this season promises to be just as successful, according to coach Ann Spieker.

Burke’s Grocery Woodville, Virginia 987-8814 Spieker was wearing a giant grin as her team came off the practice course last week. And with reason. The boys had just finished their first timed run over the Blue Rock Farms course and her top runner had completed the distance just 40 seconds off the school record. Junior Scott Keithley ran the 2.7 miles in 15:14. ‘‘That's real good for the beginning of the season." noted Spieker. nodding her head with satisfaction. Last year. Keithley finished third in district and regional meets and seventh in state and, judging from his first timed practice, should do even better in 1982-83, she added. Sophomore Ronnie Atkins is already showing the speed that put him on Keithley's heels at the end of last season. The Panthers' number two runner is ‘‘staving right up there with Scott, really close!” noted Spieker. flashing another smile of satisfication. The grin stayed pul as the coach reported on the progress of number three runner Ricky Shaw, another sophomore. “He's developed real high knee action. He has enormous stride length. That’s what you look for in a cross country runner." Running fourth after the first timing. Eldwood Dodson "just works and works and works and works," Spieker continued. "He's right up there with the big boys. It's great!" Craig Kenyon, another top contender for RCHS. sustained an injury in the first timed run last week, making it difficult to place him in the team rankings, (he coach noted. "He could move up to two or three. Craig's a strong runner." David Dodson, the last of the returneees from last year, continues to show improvement and will be counted on to add points to the RCHS tally, noted Spieker, still smiling. She has two new faces on her cross country contingent: sohpomore Marc Slreagle and eighth grader John Dodson. "Marc's a strong runner but he hasn’t hit his pace vet." said Spieker. As for the youngest Panther harrier, she added, "there’s a lot of potential in that little boy. But John turned his ankle so we’re waiting to see what he can do when he’s recovered.” By the end of last week. Rappahannock’s cross country conligent had picked up a few more members. Senior Larrv Sisk who ran either two or three last year, alternating with Ronnie Atkins, was back. Carlo Caperton an eighth grader, joined John Dodson on (he jayvee team. Spieker was still wailing for a timed run from newcomer Ricky Jenkins, a ninth grader, to determine whether he’d race at the varsity or jayvee level. Competing in the realigned Bull Run District this season for the first time, Spieker expects Rappahannock's toughest opponent to be Clarke County High Scool. ’’They've got just about everyone returning and they were strong last year,” she noted. “Were about even with Stonewall so I expect it to be a real battle for second place in the district but I think we'll take it." Spieker concluded, predicting that RCHS will finish as Bull Run’s runner-up.

You can plant (he divisions exactly as you would new iris. Before dividing, cut the iris leaves back to a third ol their full length. Do this each fall - even if you do not plan to divide the clumps. Drive a spade under the clump and lift it all at once. Wash away soil with a garden hose. Cut the rhizomes apart with a sharp knife. Each division must have at least one growing point (or fan of leaves), a few inches of healthy rhizome, and a number of well-developed roots. Makesmall divisions if you do not want to redivide iris for at least three to five years. Make large divisions if you prefer to have many flowers the year after planting - and want to make divisions more often. There is a special trick to planting rhizomes. Scoop out a shallow hole in the prepared soil, large enough to receive a rhizome of soil in the center of the hole as a planting base. In medium i soil, make ihe cone high enough so ihai the planted rhi/ome. with its roots spread down the slopes of the cone, will he just under the soil surface. In light, or well-drained soil, make a low cone so the rhi/ome will he two inches helow ground level. In heavy soil, let Ihe rhi/ome he slightly above the level of the surrounding ground. BOSTON BASIK0 FOR THE PEOPLE ; I GROCERIES MEATS-SOFT DRINKS 1 ABC OFF — Rappahannock New-* Pboto/T. Reynold* BACK TO BASIKS is the idea behind the conversion of the Boston Store to Boston Basik. Back To Basics With high food prices and shrinking dollar value, consumers in urban areas are Iurning lo "basics" stores, or no-frills merchandising to help stretch their grocery dollars. Now, those in Rappahannock County can shop locally at a market offering reduced prices. Jim Harrison, proprieter ot the Boston Store, has converted his grocery to a discount grocery. With the opening of Boston Basik, Harrison is hoping to offer more quantity and lower prices to Rapp’ahannock shoppers. A trip to his grand opening last Friday showed that his forth a l certainly appealed to many local people. Shoppers were wheeling out his advertised specials by the cartload. Harrison, who was manager of a Grand Union Siore before going into business for himself in Bosion. agreed that there were a lot of new faces at his opening. His decision to offer greater volume at reduced prices came after looking at the popularity of this format in other places. “I didn’t see why it couldn’t work here.” he said. “I don’t know yet if this popularity will continue, hut. for now, we’ve got everyone beat with our prices." Harrison's expansion involved a complete renovation of the store, with many shelves and sections added. He's enlarged his meat counter to include all varieties of fresh meals. His building still houses the post office but a quick check with the Boston postmaster revealed that there will be no discounts on stamps.

This is a technique that was developed in the last few years that does have some definite merit. It consists of an incision about one half inch in length that is used as a window to correct the underlying boney problems. A special type of instrument is inserted into the wound and the changes are produced through this window. There are a fair number of indications for this type of surgery. It is important to understand that there is a significant portion of problems that cannot be repaired in this manner, because the structures have to be visualized for change. If the mini-procedure can be performed there is usually less discomfort, less swelling, and the patient is able to return to shoes more quickly. A public service with the aim ot promoting a better foot health environment.

"I made rounds throughout the slate myself." he said. In 1980 a team of investigators visited each city or county in Virginia. These reports were made available to Lane, and his own research completed the picture. ”1 can probably put my hands on the exact places that are not complying with the law." he said. “Rappahannock County is certainly one of them.” Lane added that theState r Veterinarian, Dr. Leroy Bowen, is available to help any local government make plans to improve their animal care and disposal systems. “Usually we find that those governments that have stalled us bv saying that they're working on an improvement plan haven't even contacted him." Lane has an answer for counties that sav that they can't afford to abide by the Slate guidelines: "a good animal control program pays for itself—in tines, in fees and in adoption costs.

And for tried and true Rappahannockers, it's got to be the apple that’s accorded favorite fruit status, if out of nothing more than county spirit and loyalty. But for those of us who have tried Dot Mank's plum brandy, a recipe passed down to her by Dee Hume, the alltime favorite fruit is the plum. And plum season is the time to start a new batch. The “how-to” is simple. It’s the wait that's hard for this delectable liquid. This is delayed gratification at its peak. According to Dot, the mixture should sit at least a year. Two years is better and three years is best of all. It takes that long to reach maturity but it’s worth the delay. After three years of sitting, the homemade brandy goes down the throat like liquid velvet—rich and incredibly smooth. And there's an added benefit. After sitting in the liquor for three years, the plums are marvelous as a topping for ice cream and other deserts or in brandied sauce for plum pudding as a special holiday treat. 1 quart plums, well washed but unpitted 1 quart sugar fifth of gin Put the gin and sugar in a heavy jar, an old juice jar is perfect, and stir to dissolve the sugar. Add the plums and set the jar on its side. It must be turned once a month. After three years, decant and sit back to enjoy. r Building r •Paint •Lumber •Mlllwork •Hardware Cwnplitt OM-Sttp BUILDING SUPPLY Warrenton Building Material Co.P Inc. m tte By-Pus WarrMtM 347 1400 1 -ATTENTIONAPPLE GROWERS We have the necessary Tractor-Trailers to^^^ haul your Apples to the packing plants for you at competitive prices.
