Staff Writrr The Rappahannock planning commissioners have lined up an agenda full of fireworks for next month’s meeting. Public hearings on two amendments to the county’s zoning ordinance are set for October 20th. The first, proposal from the owners of Blue Ridge Guns to allow rifle ranges by special use permit in agricultural zones, has stirred considerable opposition in the Amissville area. The second, a request from Promised Land Baptist Church to add churches to the list of uses allowed by right in an agricultural zone, provoked concern from the planners at last Wednesday’s session. “Gentlemen, tjiis is not a simple issue," said Newbill Miller, referring to the proposed church amendment. ‘‘Right now, the definition of a church is almost in the eys of the beholder...Some churches are just a tax dodge.” According to zoning administrator David Konick, representatives from Promised Land Baptist requested a building permit to enlarge their little church in Gid Brown Hollow. But the church, located on agriculturally zoned land, is a non-conforming use since (1) it existed before the zoning ordinance was adopted and '2) the ordinance makes no provision for churches in that district. Therefore, said Konick, he can’t issue a building permit because the county’s land use laws specify that if a non-conforming use is extended, enlarged or relocated, it must conform to the zoning ordinance. "There’s no way you could have given them a permit for that?” asked commissioner Charles Estes, noting that churches on agriculturally zoned land in Amissville and Scrabble have been recently enlarged. Formerly Granted Former zoning administrator Evan McNear Eq Board To Meet Rappahannock’s Equalization Board has set a hearing date for Friday, October 8. Landowners with questions or complaints regarding property values set in the recent 100 percent fair market value reassessment should call the commissioner of revenue’s office at 675-3513 to schedule appointments with the board. The Equalization Board reminds landowners that this will be one of the final sessions before expiration of the time in which the board can make changes in reassessment figures. “just granted” the building permits for church construction in agricultural zones because "he felt that was one area where the ordinance was vulnerable to attack,” Konick explained. When he took over as zoning administrator, Konick said, he recommended that the ordinance be changed immediately tp allow churches in an agricultural zone, at least by special use permit. In ordinance revisions currently being developed by the planning commission, churches are allowed by right in residential zones and with a special use permit in agricultural zones, he reported. “So it’s being taken care of (in the new zoning laws),” Konick said. It was the concept of allowing churches by right rather than the construction proposed by Promised Land Baptist that gave the commissioners pause. “Adding on to a church is simple 'out adding this ordinance amendment is not,” maintained Miller. “I don’t know if it (churches) ought to be a matter of right (in the agricultural zone),” Konick remarked, suggesting instead that they be allowed by special use permit as proposed in the ordinance revisions which are scheduled to come up for adoption this fall “But if you allow it with a special use permit, then they (the Promised Land representatives) have got to go through the special use permit procedure and that would take another whole block of time,” noted Miller. Estes interjected that the time element is critical if the church enlargement is to be completed this construction season. "The whole point is that it’s sitting out here in an agricultural district. There’s no way around that!” (Continued on Page I 4) Dancin * In The Streets Of Washington TUP DinfV n , l>h«.l.«/Bill >.KH1K I HE BLOCK DANCE sponsored by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community gave everyone — young and not-so-young alike — a chance to shake a leg.

County’s 1980 Tax Rate Next To Bottom In Va. By DAPHINK HlTCHI\SON H.’ippahannork Staff VI ritrr Everyone complains about high taxes but in Rappahannock County the complaints have little basis in fact, at least as far as local property taxes are concerned. Rappahannock’s landowners should be bragging instead of complaining, judging by data released this week by the Virginia Education Association's Research Service. According to VEA’s "Real Estate Taxes and True Values In Virginia," county landowners were blessed with the second lowest tax rate in the state in 1980. The report gives Rappahannock’s average effective true tax rate for that year as 19 cents per $100. beaten only by Cumberland County’s 13 cents. The levy fell far below the Virginia average of 81 cents. Rappahannock taxpayers came out way ahead when compared with neighboring jurisdictions as well. Rates per $100 for 1980 in nearby counties were 51 cents in Culpeper, 40 cents in Fauquier, 43 cents in Warren, 40 cents in Orange and 39 cents in Madison. While Rappahannock’s true tax rate was the second lowest in Virginia, the county’s median assessment ratio ranked at the very bottom of the list at 4.4 percent. To arrive at that figure, the 1980 assessed value for a piece of property was divided by the selling price for each report. “The use of the median ratio has been deemed to be the best measure of a locality's true assessmen-sales ratio because the raio is unaffected by distortions caused by large sales or ‘extreme’ ratios at' either end of the spectrum and especially those at the' School Board Hears Report Of Auditors n\ i nrnr.M mm K«|»|Mihaim«w*k N* h» Staff V ril»*r At the school board meeting of September 14, board members discussed the financial report prepared by the Culpeper accounting firm of Young, Nicholas and Mills at the conclusion of their yearly audit, with recomhiendations that certain minor changes be made in several of the schools' financial procedures and controls. School Superintendent Robert Estabrook emphasized that the overall compliance of the school system with accepted accounting procedures was good. “There are no major concerns here," he said. “We are not in violation of any important controls.” The letter attached to the yearly audit recommended that si* changes be made in established procedures. All of them were accepted by the school board and Estabrook was charged with their implementtion. The accountants recommended that dual signatures be required on checks; that the bookkeepers at each school reconcile the other schools’ bank statements; that closer controls be kept on vending machine keys and activity vouchers; that receipts for activity funds should include the name of the remittor; that each check be supported by an invoice; and that cash be kept in a safe or under lock of a deadbolt. Estabrook said that each of these recommendations could be put into practice without much delay. Robert Eastham, Wakefield school board member, expressed alarm over the final recommendation. “Where is the cash presently kept?” he asked Estabrook. Chairman Beverly Massie objected. “This is not a question for open session,” she said. Eastham requested that he be answered in executive session. “For all we know. Miss So and So keeps it in her shirt pocket,” he said. Estabrook concluded the discussion of the audit by noting that controls recommended last year by the auditors were “in place and working.” Eastham also expressed concern over the possible accumulation of bills in the schools. Several times he questioned Margaret Piper, elementary school principal who was in the audience, about accounts payable. “There are no surprises in this school,” she said. “Everything is working fine.” Eastham asked that the high school follow the example of the elementary school by investing money in interest bearing certificates of deposit instead of letting it lay idle. “Let’s not lose interest because of laziness,” he said. Estabrook agreed to look into the matter but pointed out that accounts for the high school generally need to be kept in a fluid state. Nancy Reeve. Piedmont District board member moved that the financial report be accepted with the intention to adopt the suggestions of the cover letter. The board agreed. School Opening In his superintendent's report, Estabrook emphasized his belief in the team management approach to school administration. He included Margaret Piper, elementary school principal and Robert Chappell, high school principal, in his summary of the schools’ opening. Piper told the board members that the first day of school had been “orderly, pleasant and peaceful.” "This just didn’t happen,” Piper said. “We started to plan for this last spring." Piper told the board that there was only one crier among the children entering school for the first time. Chappell reported that the opening of the high school had been “as smooth as any I've ever been associated with.” He praised students and teaching staff and noted that RCHS as of the tenth day of school was 460 students. Transportation Report Assistant Superintendent Jerry Lysik gave the transportation report, saying that seven out of the ten school vehicles were operable. He recommended that the board accept the offer of a vehicle from the Sheriffs Department. accept bids for the five inoperable vehicles presently held by the school, and purchase a replacement pickup truck from the state lot. The board agreed to accept Lysik’s recommendations (Continued on Pace 3) higher end," the report states. true assessment-sales ratio because the ratio is unaffecte dby distortions caused by large sales or ‘extreme’ ratios at either end of the spectrum and especially those at the higher end," the report states. Basic sales data used to determine the ratio are taken from the recordation tax receipts that the law requires the clerk of the court in each locality to file with the Virginia Department of Taxation. The median assessment ratio for the state as a whole in 1980 was 71.7 percent. Most of Rappahannock’s neighbors ranked above that figure. Orange had the highest median assessment ration in the area for 1980 with 83.5 percent followed by Warren (83.3 percent). Fauquier (81.3) and Culpeper (77.6). With a median ratio of 69.5 percent, Madison fell below the Virginia average but still ranked wav above Rappahannock's 4.4 percent. Rappahannock was one of 16 localities in the state whose taxable wealth increased 20 percent or more between 1979 and 1980. It's increase — 25.2 percent — ranked ninth highest on that list. No other neighboring jurisdiction experienced an increase in taxable wealth of over 20 percent, according to the VEA report. While the county's taxable wealth has mushroomed, it’s tax rate and median assessment ratio have shown a steady decline as illustrated on the chart below. 1966 1%8 1970 1971 1973 1974 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 Ratio 11.5% 8.9% 10.4% 7.8% 6.5% 5.8% 6.8% 6.5% 5.9% 5.2% 5.4% 4.4% Tax • TrurTax Rato Ratr $3.80 $0.44 $5.00 $0.45 .10 $0.43 .10 $0.32 .10 $0.27 .10 $0.24 .90 $0.27 .00 $0.26 •(H) $0.24 .20 $<).22 .20 $0.23 .40 $0.19 LANDSAT Snaps Rappahannock When LANDSAT. the National Aeronautic and Space Administration's earth resources satellite, passed over Rappahannock on March 26, 1981, its shutter snapped. TTie data taken from that photograph is now being generated at NASA offices at Langley Air Force Base into detailed maps and color photographs which should be available in early October, according to John Capelle. executive director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission. LANDSAT's computer print-out data covers the other four counties in the planning district as well as Rappahannock. “This information for the first time gives us a complete picture of this region’s natural resources,” said Capelle. He noted that the information will be extremely useful in land use planning activities, watershed studies, prime farmland analysis, siting utilities, forestry management planning and water resource planning. The LANDSAT environmental data, processed by the Virginia Institute Of Marine Sciences in Gloucester Point, is a joint demonstration project between the planning district and the Virginia Department ot Taxation’s Commonwealth Data Base program. The environmental information identifies cropland, pastureland, open land, coniferous and deciduous forest types, water bodies and developed land on an eight-tenth of an acre basis for each tax map area. In Rappahannock County, approximately 214.000 data items are identified on computer print-outs and will be shown in map form and color photographs. •‘We received the preliminary drafts and we were amazed at the detail,” said Capelle. “Farm ponds as small as one-quarter of an acre show up.” He noted that if the LANDSAT photos had been taken in May when apple and peach trees were in bloom, it would even be possible to delineate orchards. “We’re hoping to do it again in five years," Capelle said. This second inventory of environmental data will be more refined since it will have a quarter-acre basis instead of eight-tenths of an acre. ‘‘We'll be able to monitor the changes in the region," the planning commission director added. Capelle noted that the LANDSAT information does not differentiate as well between developed land uses as it does between natural resources. After corrections in this area, the data will be available for local government, agency and general public use, he concluded. Fire School Trains Working Firemen There are few local residents who aren’t aware that Rappahannock's volunteer fire and rescue squads could use more members. But it’s not enough to just join, according to Frankie Huff. Flint Hill Fireman, officer in the county’s Fire and Rescue Association and EMT instructor. ’’They need training to be working members.” That training for firemen is available in Anyssville on two upcoming weekends, September 25 and 26 and October 2 and 3, at the county's 19th annual fire school “We’re at a crucial point” Huff noted. “There are not many good. trained firefighters in the whole county, much less in the individual companies, during the day." The 30- hour fire school provides the type of classes that produce good, trained firemen. A rescue course is being offered as well this year. The Amissville school is set up by local firemen working in conjunction with the State Fire Service Training Office in Richmond, the organization that accredits the school Instructors are all certified and include Huff from Flint Hill and Carl James from Amissville in addition to personnel from Loudoun. Fairfax and Prince William. The 1982 fire school offers for the first time a class that should be of special interest to “anyone connected with the administration of schools, day care centers and nursing homes,” Huff said. The class focuses on setting up fire safety programs and is taught by Kay Marano, a nationally accredited fire education specialist with the Chesterfield County Fire Department.

Catalytic Damper Corporation N Begins Production In Flint Hill By THERESA RM >OLI)S Ra|>|Nihann<K'k Vh« Staff 1 ritrr Lakewood Stoves in Flint Hill has a model on display with a flue pipe that looks like a small snake that swallowed a large rabbit. The section of flue closest to the stove has been altered to provide room for a catalytic convertor that its manufacturer and engineer consider a breakthrough in woodburning technology. Actually, the manufacturer and engineer are the same person, Jon Lee of Flint Hill. He is also president and production manager for the damper company as well as president of Lakewood Atlantinc. Inc. of Flint Hill, manufacturer and distributor of Lakewood woodstoves. Lee said that the idea for the catalytic damper comes from the success of Lakewood stoves, which have the catalytic combustor built in. "We've been putting the combustor in our stoves for two years," he said. “But a dealer with a full inventory of stoves may be reluctant to buy one, because to do so he would have to replace perfectly good stoves with our stoves. This damper allows him to convert any stove in stock with a six, seven or eight-inch flue collar into a catlytic stove.” The damper, marketed under the brandname, intensifire, allows those who burn wood to increase the heating power of their woodpile by up to 30 percent. There is another advantage as well, according to Lee. “This doesn’t concern us so much here in such a sparsely-settled area," he said. "But promoters of wood-burning fail to mention that the process gives off harmful pollutants as well as forming dangerous creosote in chimneys. With this damper, the creosote problem is cut down to where it is no longer a worry, and poisonous and cancercausing by-products of wood burning are almost completely eliminated.” With the help of chalk and a blackboard, Lee was happy to explain the action of the damper. The damper is a steel housing with the combustor. a damper mechanism, a temperature gauge and a viewing port. As usual, when starting the fire, the damper is open. When the fire is underway the bypass is closed and the wood gas is routed through the combustor. There, the unburned gas is ignited by very high temperatures, turning it into energy rather than a wasted by-product. The catalyst is a thin coating of platinum or palladium that reacts with the hydrocarbons in wood smoke. Wood burners who have yet to start on their winter woodpile may like to know that the Intensifire damper allows burning of any type of wood — hard or soft, wet or dry. Conceiving this new product has been an exciting project for Lee and the other officers of the company, Clyde L. Logue of Flint Hill and Eric Hutchinson of Conway, Arkansas. “This has been a first for me,” said Lee. “Seeing an idea from its invention to its production and sale is really exciting.” Advertising in magazines and trade journals has resulted in enough orders in August to use up all of September’s production. All of the dampers will be produced right in Flint Hill at the packing house. Production of the Lakewood Stove has been moved to Canada to make room for this new operation, although customers may still purchase stoves there. Lee has designed a production line for the damper that uses gravity to move both the belts and the overhead pulleys. “This was fun, too,” he said, "designing an efficient operation to put the damper toeether.” Right now, Lee is op timistic about the market for the damper. As the First damper rolled off the assembly line Monday, Lee had collected a stack of applications from local people for a place in the line. “We have 80 applications already for jobs,” he said. "As we expand production and receive more parts, we’ll be Filling every spot.” Lee’s production goal is 1,000 for September and October. “This is a realistic goal,” he said. “I’m pretty sure we can make it.” Plans for Monday were for 50 stoves between that day and the next, and the First operation of the complete line without a hitch seemed to justify his optimism. — na|>|>ahann«»rk /*♦*** I who/ i . rwxnmu* AT THE BLACKBOARD Jon Lee explains the operation of the catalytic damper manufactured at his plant in Flint Hill.

Providers Needed For Foster Care A pilot project in adult foster care is almost ready to go in Rappahannock County, one of 22 areas chosen for the experimental program. “What I need are people who can be providers,” said welfare department director Sylvia Kreitler this week. ‘‘We need to Find homes where people who are eligible for adult foster care can go.” Eligible individuals are generally those who cannot maintain themselves under ordinary conditions. They are adults who need supervision, who might otherwise have to enter a nursing home or home for adults, Kreitler explained. The adult foster care program for the fivecountyRappahannock- countyRappahannockRapidan Planning District ha» three slots for Rappahannock people. Providers will be compensated based on the level of care required by the adults in their charge, Kreitler noted. A training session for providers is scheduled for the end of September. Anyone interested in participating in the pilot project as a provider should contact Kreitler at the welfare department in Washington, 675-3326.

WSA Solicits Support With the application for $478,193 in community development block grant funds now filed, Rappahannock’s Water and Sewer Authority agreed on Monday to solicit support from the County’s representatives in Richmond for the funding request. WSA secretary Bob Dennis volunteered to write to Representative Raymond R. “Andy” Guest and State Senator Nathan Miller, asking for letters of endorsement “I hate to think it’s going to be decided on a political basis but I understand that all the other communities are fighting for block grant funds," Dennis said. He reported that at the State Water Control Board’s August allocation hearing, localities had mayors, council members and other government officials on hand to speak in favor of their funding requests. Many of these communities are seeking block gfants to make up the local shire of funding for water and sewer projects, he added. Cost of Sperryville's proposed sewer system is $1.69 million. The State Water Control Board has set aside $1.2 million in federal money from fiscal year 1983 for construction of the village’s waste water treatment facility but award is contingent upon winning the $478,1 93 community development block grant. WSA chairman Carson Johnson noted on Monday that $150,000 in finance charges has been cut from the cost of the Sperryville project as a result of the Rappahannock supervisors' agreement to pay construction bills as they are submitted. Then when funds from the grants come in, the county will be repaid, he said. Donald Gore added that projected costs may be reduced even further. He reported that SWCB officials in Richmond now think that the W ater Control Board will be able to finance redesign of the sewer system. The original design, a conventional gravity collection system and lagoon treatment facility. was scrapped last year when revised cost projections put monthly user fees at S55, considered much too high for Sperryville’s low and moderate income families to afford. The redesign, an innovative scntic tank effluent pump S) > :m and package treatment plant, will have monthly user fees of approximately $12. The estimate on monthly bills is based upon award of the block grant and receipt of the $1.2 million from the State W ater Control Board. Announcement of the block grant awards is expected to come in early November. The question of right-ofway access to the site of the package treatment plant was tabled until the WSA learns the fate of its block grant application. “If we don’t get the money, we won’t need the right-of-way,” James Leake noted. “And if we don’t get the grant, it won't be because we haven’t made an effort,” added Johnson, noting the hours and hours of work that WSA members have devoted to working on the grant application with John Capelle, executive director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission. Dorrier In County Lindsay Dorrier, candidate for the 7th Congressional District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, will be at Beach Spring Farm in Sperryville on October 1 to meet Rappahannock voters.

There was a short discussion of the school board office and bus shop which was to continue in executive session. Nelson Lane said that he had “more optimistic information” on the time necessary to erect a pre-fabricated metal building. The board voted to get an opinion from the commonwealth attorney on the proper disposition of the old Scrabble school building. Robert Judd, a California builder, had written the board requestiong permission to purchase the structure for materials. Commonwealth Attorney Doug Baumgardner had requested the board to have Judd correspond directly with him. Eastham raised the issue that school property reverts to the original owner when no longer in use. The board directed that this be clarified by Baumgardner. The board discussed the Virginia School Board Association annual conference to be held in Roanoke in early October. Rappahaqnock board members had proposed a new method of assessing member dues and the Association had responded that it was not necessary for a board member to attend in order for their proposal to be heard. Fire School Starts tt-ontmued trom Page 1) and fire personnel. Huff said, is an Emergency Medical Services (EMS) management class which trains emergency workers* in triage, or determining in accidents involving mass casualties who should be treated first. The EMS management course was prompted, by the recent automobile and tractor trailer accident near Woodville which left one child dead and eight persons injured, the fireman added. Fairfax City’s tactics trailer will oe at Amissville for the Fire Officer 1 class. “It’s an important course for junior officers, captains and lieutenants — even chiefs if they haven't already had the training.” Huff said. A second trailer holds a breathing apparatus maze. “It has a bunch of situations built in. Everyone who goes through the maze is kept under a watchful eye but it puts you on your own and makes you remember how to use your breathing apparatus,” said Huff. “It's great for building a junior firefighter’s self-confidence. He can prove to himself that he does know what to do.” The Amissville school will also offer the standard class in structural firefighting and breathing apparatus. “We’ll set an actual fire (in the special structure provided for this purpose) and send a group in with an instructor.” Huff said. Fire school classes will begin with registration at 7:30 a.m. at the Amissville Fire Hall on Saturday, September 25. School will start at 8 p.m. the remaining days; September 26, October 2 and 3. The schedule calls for classes to end around 4 p.m. Cost for the 19th annual Amissville fire school is $10 a person for the four days of classes. Pre-registration would be appreciated. To register, contact Carl James after 6 p.m. at 937-5795 or Paul Poling at 937-5205. “Without this type of training, about the only thing that a volunteer fireman is equipped to do is to raise money for the department,” Huff noted. “Fund raising is important but we have a critical need for trained firefighters. Training is a lot of work,” he acknowledged. “But it’s all worth it if you can save someone’s property, alleviate suffering or save a life." Members Wanted The Choral Society of Culpeper announces that until September 27 it has openings for new singers, particularly men. Prospective members are invited to attend the Monday 7:45 p.m. rehearsal at the Culpeper Presbyterian Church, 215 S. Main, after which brief auditions will be held. Lunch Program Popular Chappell reported that more students were using the cafeteria than in the past. Reeve suggested that if the high participation in the school lunch program continues, the board might be able to lower lunch prices. All agreed that this was a good idea. In other business, the board: Heard a report from Pam Rowe, special services coordinator, on the progress of the Title I program at the school; Discussed the possiblity of an open house, attended by board members, possibly in conjunction with a PTA meeting; Agreed to schedule time for discussion of the “index salary concept’’ at the November meeting, with the possibility of a special meeting devoted to its consideration; Postponed discussion of the policy manual; Approved minutes from four previous meetings; In response to questions from the audience. Lysik reported that the handicapped bus, due for delivery last summer, would be available November 1. Lysik had been informed that the delay was due to factory problems. Also in response to a question, Estabrook said that school attendance was “slightly lower than last year, but will continue to increase for several weeks.” Scheduled for executive session was approval of the substitute teacher substitute bus driver lists, personnel matters and discussion of the discipline committee. Eastham, Massie, Reeve and Lane, were present at the meeting. . Eastham left midway through the session.

ZPf reaitor REDUCING WATER HEATING COSTS Did you ever wonder how much it cost you to heat your water? One simple way is to check your fuel bills during the summer months. More than you thought - right? Here are some tips to get that cost down. Run your dishwasher and clothes washer only with full loads. Putting each through a full cycle for a partial load is costly because you still pay for virtually full-load power. Set the water-heater thermostat to the lowest temperature of hot water needed. This is usually the hottest faucet water your hands can tolerate. Too high a setting means excessive fuel consumption. and extra cold water is needed from the faucet to cool it down. The water heater ordinarily can be set at 140 degrees. Experiment a little to get it to the lowest hot water temperature that is satisfactory. Insulate long runs of hot water piping from the water heater. This usually can be done at the basement ceiling where such piping is exposed.

Member Audit Bureau of Circulation Thursday, September 23,1982 Reprehensible Behavior During his outrageous temper tantrum at last Tuesday’s meeting. Robert Eastham vowed to resign from the school board if application was made for a special use permit to build the proposed combination central office and bus maintenance facility. We hope he keeps that promise. At the very least, Eastham owes his fellow school board members, his constituents and the county in general an abject apology for his reprehensible behavior. We’ve been appalled many times in the past three years by his rudeness, his attacks through innuendo and inference, his absolute refusal to see any side but his own. and his attempts at intimidation. Tuesday’s performance hit a new low. His characterization of the commonwealth's attorney’s opinion as “rinky-dink” cast aspersion on a man who serves as the county’s legal advisor and Rappahannock's chief law enforcement officer. Eastham cast aspersion on the judgement of the county’s governing body by charging that the supervisors didn't know what they were doing when they specified in the zoning ordinance that public schools are to be allowed in an agricultural district only by special use permit. Eastham claimed that he’d talked to all the board members who adopted that zoning ordinance in 1973 and none could remember why the requirement was included. The former member of that board whom we checked with did Remember: the model ordinance followed in drafting Rappahannock's land use law included that very same provision. Eastham also cast aspersion on the integrity of the zoning administrator and a member of the planning commission by accusing them both of trying to control the public schools through zoning. But worst of all. he put the county’s elected and appointed officials, particularly the school board members, in the worst possible light by his failure to abide by elementary rules of common courtesy. During his harangue at Tuesday ’s meeting, he screamed and cursed, spitting out profanity with every other breath. Ruled out of order again and again by school board chairman Beverly Massie, he refused to be silent. He shook his fist in her face, leaned across the table and shouted at her, even accused her of lying and attempting to railroad the board into applying for the special use permit he so objects to. Through it all, Mrs. Massie never once raised her voice, never once replied in kind. Instead, she tried over and over again to explain the reasons behind her actions to the irate representative from Wakefield District. And he wasn’t listening. He was too busy trying to intimidate. In the past, milder version of these same tactics have worked. But not last Tuesday, at least not in the final vote. After Eastham had stormed from the meeting room. Nelson Lane apparently found the courage of his convictions and voted with Beverly Massie and Nancy Reeve to apply for the special use permit in accordance with county law. There’s no question about it. Rappahannock’s zoning ordinance of 1973 clearly states that schools, public and private, need a special use permit on agriculturally zoned land. And according to the indications from the planning commissioners, that provision will be retained in the ordinance when ongoing revisions are completed. It's the law and if anyone should be held to a high standard of compliance, it’s the arm of the local government which was responsible for writing the law in the first place. Just as county governmental units must set an example in upholding county laws, the individual members of those boards, and commissions have an obligation to do the same. Eastham has a right to express his opinion on the need for a special use permit but he went far beyond acceptable bounds in doing so. His actions undermine the credibility of the school board with teachers, parents, administrators, local officials and students in the public schools. Robert Eastham — not an application for a special use permit — is hurting Rappahannock’s educational system and the children who depend upon that system to prepare them for the future. This Was The News In Bygone Rappahannock Times... 32 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS IN THE Rappahannock News of September 28. 1950, front page news was: attendance at the Rappahannock County Fair: a business course offered at Rappahannock High School; the closing of schools that Friday for a teacher’s meeting: the meeting of the garden club at the home of Mr. W.H. Lyne; and the County Home Demonstration Club news. Another front page story was the installment of a traffic light on the corner of Main and Middle Streets in Washington: '‘This light has been badly needed for years, as this is one of the most dangerous corners in town.” The reporter expressed a wish that the Highway Department would recognize the need for more traffic signs and markers in Rappahannock County. On sale at the Royal Quality Shop in Front Royal was a wool jersey dress with a pucker stitch yoke and popular three-quarter length sleeves for $17.95. Among the many movies at local theatres was The Heiress with Barbara Stanwyck and Wendell Corey. 10 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS IN THE September 28, 1972 edition of the News, Leggetts ran a fullpage ad featuring their fall harvest sale. Jeans were selling for S7.88; dresses for $12.88; double knit suits for $48.88 and handbags for $4.88. Student Council Association representatives were chosen from the elementary school. They were: Paula Butler, Ronda Wiley, Melissa Cameron, Donna Williams, Marion Eastham, Buck Williams, George Massie, Denise Wingfield, Rhonda Estes, Sarah H. Massie, Dee Welch and Natalie Swindler. The Rappahannock Farmers' Cooperative was offering a choice of 100 gallons of oil or a Black and Decker 2-speed drill free with the purchase of a Siegler Home Oil Heater. One of the homes chosen for the annual house tour was that of Mr. and Mrs. James P. Jamieson. Yoga classes offering breathing and meditation exercises were advertised in Washington. A six-pack of Schmidts beer was on sale at Stokes Mart in Front Royal for 89 cents. Eggs were 29 cents a dozen, and bread 19 cents a loaf, also at Stokes Mart. Our Rappahannock Heritage Letters To The Editor Warner’s Vote Criticized To the editor: The following is a letter that 1 have written to Honorable John Warner. Would you please publish it in your newspaper to let the people of the sovereign State of Virginia be made aware of his Vote and how it will affect them? Dea Senator Warner I called your office on Friday and specifically asked that my views be presented to you on the S14.2 billion spending bill. I picked up the local paper on Saturday morning and noted that you voted with the President On the same day, I received your News Letter and noted that you made the following statement and I quote: “Unemployment is a major concern to all Virginians I have been working on several programs to assist the unemployed, one of which relates directly to all Virginians. I wonder how the military personnel stationed in Virginia, the Internal Revenue Service employees who reside in Virginia and pay taxes in Virginia and are responsible for collecting back taxes which is due and owing to the Federal government, the senior citizens which were faced with the possibility of losing their benefits and-or jobs and forced to go on unemployment or welfare, the aid for handicapped children, and the disadvantaged feel about your vote? Some of your fellow Virginians depended on your vote to override the President’s veto or do you not have time to listen to the voice of the people of Virginia? It is true the budget of the United States should be balanced but not at the expense of the disadvantaged, the handicapped, and the elderly of the United States. It has taken this budget twenty years to get this way and it will probably take another twenty years for it to be turned around and become balanced. How would you feel if you worked for one of these federal agencies that were faced with the possibility of a furlough and some senator voted with the president and you would not get a pay check. Would you like it? No, you would not. Because if there had not been senators like Mark Hatfield, some fellow Virginians might have gone hungry and unable to pay their rent Then to hear the president of these United States say that he did not know the elderly and senior citizens would be hurt by this bill. What country has he been living in? If I recall correctly, it was brought out on David Brinkley’s program on Sunday that the president had twice , vetoed this program whidi helps elderly people to find jobs. I resent the way the elderly are being treated by onr president. I voted for you in 1980. In 1984 I will raise my voice. VIVIAN N. YANCEY Amissville Demeaned ByEastham To the editor: As a mother of pre-school age children who resides in Wakefield District, 1 noticed with astonishment and embarrassment the latest episode in egotism and unbelievably rude behavior by our district’s representative on the school board. Cursing and brow-beating Mrs. Massie, denigrating Mr. Baumgardner and stating that Nelson Lane is a "poor boy" too ignorant to understand the issues before the board, are actions which demean not only Mr. East ham personally, but also all of us whom he, supposedly, represents. It is patently clear from his attitude and actions exactly where he wants all power to reside - not in the School Board, but in Eastham’s judgement. And while I am in favor of all that would enhance our public school facilities, I hardly feel that steamrolling others at any cost can ever lead to fair and conscientious decisionmaking beneficial to anyone. Could you please clarify for me what possible qualifications this man has to serve on the Board of Education? Who appointed him and why? (And though I A Success To the editor: We would like to say thank you to all the caring parents who gave their time and support or baked goods for the "Back to School Boogie" dance held at the high school last weekend. Also, thank you to so many teachers who came and joined in the funl We especially want to thank Mr. Chappell and his staff, who gave their time and help to make this dance possible for the students, and helped us raise money to purchase science equipment for the school. Thank You! RCHS Booster Club would heartily support his resignation I doubt he will carry out his threat.) Is there any way that he can be removed from office and replaced with someone who can represent us with intelligence and integrity? * CAROLYN DELEVITT Flint Hill (Editor’s note: Robert Eastham was appointed to the Rappahannock County School Board by School Trustee Electors C.E. “Ned” ohnson, Christine Johnston and Granville Eastham, Robert Eastham’s brother. As to why he was named to the board, the Electors did not state their reasons. In regards to removal, a school board member can be removed by the Circuit Court Judge for malfeasance or misfeasance. It is our understanding that Eastham’s behavior at last week‘s meeting does not constitute either.) Wakefield Began Soccer To the editor: Re your article on soccer in last week’s Sports column, it should be pointed out, with all due respect for the efforts of Don Keithley on behalf of soccer in Rappahannock, that soccer in Rappahannock County was actually introduced by Wakefield School nine years ago. Wakefield School has fielded soccer teams for various age groups continuously since 1973, when the school was founded. In addition to the school’s regular soccer program, Wakefield in many years past has sponsored two soccer clinics (run by professional soccer players) that were open to all area youths. A proud father, 1 am pleased to report that my oldest son, Wynn Voeks, who was Wakefield's center forward for years, has just made the inter-collegiate varsity soccer team at Mary Washington College, where he is enrolled as a freshman. I think it is significant that he is the only team member who does not come from a large suburban high school. Indeed, nearly all of the team members come from the "soccer belt” in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Your new sports and school pages are an excellent idea, and are greatly appreciated.

The road will be —From Both Barrels Three Questions On The Ballot By GEORGE BOWLES When Virginia’s voters go into the polling booths Nov. 2. some may be surprised to find they have more to do than choose a new U.S. senator, a congressman from their district, and a member of the House of Delegates. Also on the ballot will be three questions relating to proposed amendments to the state constitution. These changes in the Commonwealth’s charter have already been approved by the required two sessions of the General Assembly. On Election Day they will be placed before the voters in a statewise referendum—the last step before they become a part of the state’s organic law. If approved by the voters, they will become effective Jan. 1. Two of the measures are relatively non-controversial. The first would allow the General Assembly to establish new procedures for restoring voting rights to felons who have served their time. At present this can be done only by the governor. The second would delete the requirement that registrars record the marital status and the occupations of those registering to vote. It adds the requirement that prior legal names of the registrants be recorded. Complicated Question But the third question is more complicated, and debate on whether or not it should be passed will likely stir considerable interest in the weeks ahead. It will appear on the ballot as follows: “Shall the Constitution of Virginia be amended to authorize the General Assembly to limit the introduction of legislation in the odd-year short session?” Yes or no. On its face, the idea looks like a good one. Any move to stem the tide of bills flowing into the legislative hopper would appear more than welcome. But critics of the amendment raise some valid points, beginning with the manner in which the limitation would be implemented. The amendment would require, at the beginning of each odd-year 30-day session, the assembly adopt a resolution setting forth the types of legislation it will deal with during that session. The question immediately arises as to how agreement on such a resolution can be reached without hamstringing the lawmakers and compromising their responsibility to represent t!?eu concerns of their constitutents. In other words, as cumbersome as the present, system amittedly is, is it wise to say to a senator or delegate that he can't introduce a bill which he or his constitutents might deem important? Debate on the scope of the limiting resolution, the critics point out, might take up as much of the legislators’ time as would the bills the resolution is designed to prevent being introduced. Beyond that, they raise the possibility of a series of lawsuits by legislators who want to introduce measures but find themselves prevented from doing so by the assembly’s interpretation of the limiting resolution. Besides, they correctly note, the lawmakers already have the authority to impose such a limitation on themselves if they would exercise the self-discipline necessary to do so. But the proponents of the amendment argue that this is precisely the point. Without a binding amendment, the lawmakers do, indeed, lack this kind of self-discipline. With the amendment, .they would have no choice ‘but to adopt some kind of limitation. Those favoring adoption also argue that most lawmakers would be happy to have a reason to defer the introduction of many bills until the even-year 60 day sessions when, at least in theory, the measures could be processed in a more thoughtful and deliberate manner. Even the supporters of the amendment agree, however, that the measure is tepid and watered down. As it will appear on the ballot, it falls far short of what they would really like—a clear-cut constitutional definition of what they can and cannot enact during the odd-year assemblies. Some, like Sen. Howard Anderson of Halifax, would like to see the short sessions eliminated completely and the legislature returned to meeting every two years. But the question on the ballot will deal with the proposed amendment as it is now written. Its critics concede that because it sounds attractive, it will probably pass. But they - along with many Capitol observers - are convinced that, at best, it will have little impact on the legislative log-jam and. at worst, it will create more problems than it will solve. Program Jeopardized The RappahannockRapidan Area Agency on Aging learned Iasi week that its older workers providing homemaker-home health aide services will lose their jobs on September 30 as a result of President Reagar's recent veto of the supplemental appropriations bill. The impact of this news on the workers themselves is devastating because it means the elimination of their only source of earnings, according to Sally Morgan, Area Agency on Aging Director. “The ten homemaker home health aides serving this area (Planning District 9) are employed under Title V of the Older Americans Act, which is an older workers program for people who are 55 or over and who have extremely limited incomes," Morgan said. “The workers earn minimum wage for 24 hours of work each week. As one of the homemakers said when told of the threat to her job, ‘You realize it's my grocery money we're talking about,’ ” Morgan reported, adding that Rappahannock County has both homemakers and clients enrolled in the program. The numbers of people in this area affected by the end ot the Title V program will be small, but for those 26 clients it may mean the difference between staying at home or going to a nursing home. And for the ten workers it means a critical loss of sustenance. The Title V budget to provide 12,480 hours of homemaker service a year to a yearly total of about 60 older persons is only $50,000 ($4.00-hour), Morgan reported. When President Reagan eliminated the Title V program from his original budget proposal, there was a wave of Congressional reaction and the program was reinstated, noted Morgan. Now as a result of the appropriations veto, it has been eliminated once more, she added. “Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson’s office indicated that letters and calls in support of the program may help keep the homemakers at work. He can be contacted at (703) 373-0536.”

His performance as Claggart in the American premiere of Benjamin Birtten’s “Billy Budd” at the Metropolitan Opera was proclaimed as “one of the spectacular events in the Met’s recent vocal history” by Alan Rich of the New York Magazine. The London Times' critic wrote “The cast was led by one masterful performance: that of James Morris' Claggart. The sepulchral, intense blackness of the man was coiled into Morris’ voice and his demeanor, and he Amoved in evil over the face of the earth. It is unquestionably the finest performance I have seen this valuable Metropolitan artist give". For further information on both the concert and the two-day seminar call (703) 667-8714.

Panthers Buried In Soccer Opener By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Nrw« Staff 1 filer Rappahannock’s debut in high school soccer competition was far from auspicious. The Panthers were overwhelmed by Eastern Mennonite High School from Harrisonburg. 7-0, in the season opener at home last Thursday. The Harrisonburg team was disciplined. They knew their positions and they played them. Whan a ball was passed or crossed in front of Rapp’s goal, a royal blue jersey was there to receive it. The visitors used their heads. On several drives. Eastern Mennonite marched down the field without the ball ever touching the turf, bouncing instead through the air from brunette curls to blond thatch. RMHS jumped out to an early lead on a comer kick that was headed into the goal. Rappahannock recovered quickly, however, and came back with aggressive defense. Scoring attempts by the Harrisonburg team were foiled repeatedly by fullbacks Chuck Stephenson, Downing McCoy and Jim McCullough. Goalie Bob Baines sprang from one side of the net to the other, catching balls that slipped past his teammates. —FOOT FACTS ■ Or. Bruce Vogel Podiatrist Foot Specialist ASK YOUR PODIATRIST...

Except for a few unsuccessful stab at the EMHS goal, the pla> was all at Rappahannock’s end of the field. And when the Panthers did manage to boot the ball past mid-field, their passes were easily intercepted by the visitors from Harrisonburg. Rarely was there a Rappahannock front line downfield to control the ball. Without a scoring punch, the pressure was on the RCHS fullbacks and goalie to keep the opponents from extending the margin. After nearly 30 minutes of straining to maintain the lead at one, that pressure began to tell. A misdirected kick from McCoy was sent flying back straight into Rapp’s goal by an Eastern Mennonite forward, stretching the difference to 2-0. The Panthers got off a good try on a corner kick from Vince Caporuscio just before the half ended but the EMHS goalie put on an impressive imitation of a basketball center, leaping a couple of feet into the air to grab the ball before it could bounce into the net. In the second half, EMHS’s depth took its toll on Rappahannock. Coach Glenn Davis had just two substitutes he could send in to give his Panthers a breather in the hot, 80degree-plus sunshine while the Harrisonburg team had an entire 11-man squad waiting on the bench. Substituting freely, the EMHS coach kept an almost fresh unit in the entire game. As Rappahannock's players began to tire, the Harrisonburg squad went on a scoring binge, booting balls into the net from the corner, from the sides and straight on from the front to skunk the Panthers with five more tallies. In the second half, substitute fullback Lucky mcCoy provided one of the few sparks for RCHS. The stocky freshman seemed to be everywhere at once between midfield and the goalie’s box, challenging every royal blue jersey that came within foot reach. After the whistle sounded, a depressed Rappahannock team shook itself off and began to regroup for this week's contest against crosscounty rival Wakefield Country Day School. Several of the Panthers voiced grudging admiration for the players who had just buried them under an avalanche of soccer skills: “We never saw a defense like that before! They were really good—the best ever that I’ve played against,” remarked one Panther, a veteran of several year's competition in Fauquier’s adult soccer league. But instead of dejection, the RCHS squad displayed cautious optimism, agreeing that after Thursday’s loss, there’s no place to go but up. This Friday’s game against Wakefield begins at 4 p.m. on the Huntly school’s field. Farmer Says It’s Time To Fish By A.G. FARMER Rappahannock Vwi Special Writer You fellows, gals, and naturally, children, lets go Fishing. The next seven or eight weeks are among the best for fishing; water is cooler, ticks and gnats are about gone, and the fish are going to start fattening up for the winter. Some fishermen say that winter is the best time to catch bass. I have tried many times over the years (each year I try less) but will stick with spring and fall for fresh water fishing. Saturday, Sept. 25, 1982, is designated as National Hunting and Fishing Day. which should tell you all something. I have been a resident in your county for less than two years, so consider myself a newcomer. 1 have met many Fine people, only trouble is, they don't all have old farm ponds - my specialty! I am strictly an artificial fisherman - don't take that wrong - 1 mean that I don’t use live bait of any kind. Perhaps 1 catch less fish, but the ones that 1 do make me feel that, at least. I am smarter than the fish. I have been fishing a small _ __"=il FRONT ROYAL MOTORS invites you to the introduction of the 1983 FORDS EXP’s Escorts Pickups Thursday, September 23rd Friday, September 24th -OPEN HOUSEWe 7/ be looking for you!

One of these days I will walk over the crest to the pond and see a nine or ten year old boy, with a sapling pole, maybe a bent straight pin, pull that bass ashore. I will take a picture of the boy and his bass, congratulate him, then go home and sulk for three or four days. I’ll get over it though, because when I was a little boy, I did the same thing to my uncle, who I thought was the greatest fisherman who ever lived. (I guess he got over it after awhile, but never told me). Don’t let me throw you people off about artificial lures, fancy rods, and all sorts of controversial knowledge. The main thing is; get out there, take the kids, have a picnic. All you need is a pole, line, hook, cork float might help, don’t even need a sinker. Get a few worms out of the garden, if the ground is dry and you don't want to dig. lay newspapers flat on the ground, water it very well the night before you go fishing, go out the next morning, lift the newspaper, and see what you find. You might be surprised. Also, grasshoppers, grubs, etc. You never know what old “Bigmouth” might like that day. I might add one thing to this fishing article (which might be questioned by some): the best way to balance a pond by fishing is to keep one bass for every twenty-five blue-gills-bream or brim caught. This advice is not mine, it comes from experts in the field of fish management. Another addition is that I don’t like to eat fish. The secret (Kind that I mentioned above is owned by a widow. Everytime I go there to fish and get the okay from her. she says; “I had a feeling when I got up this morning that I was going to have fish for dinner - don’t know why though? She usually gets her two fish, all cleaned and ready for the pan. Sincerely, I hope this article will spur some of you people up a little. Your gardening should be about over, maybe yet a little work with the apples, but surely you can find a few spare hours, not necessarily early in the morning - could be afternoon. Try it. you might like itl In closing, if any of you pond owners think that there are no fish in your pond, give me a call, my boy and 1 will come by and give it a whirl. I am in the Little Washington phone book. — Rappahannock Nfwn Photo/D. Hutchinson FIGHTING ALL THE WAY, Rappahannock's Karen Jordan battled for possession of the basketball in Tuesday’s contest against the Brentsville Tigers from Prince William. Despite Jordan's 24 point effort, the Panthers went down. 64-52. Lady Panthers Lose A Heart Breaker By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rap|»ahann«*ok 'In** Staff ^ rit«*p The girls from RCHS played their hearts out before an enthusiastic home crowd Tuesday night, only to come up short, 52-64, against the Brentsville Tigers. “They must have shot 80 percent tonight.” said Coach Teresa McLawhorn. “They really shot well and it really hurt us.” In the first half, it looked like the Panthers would end up in the winners' circle for the first time this season. Guard Donna Atkins unleashed two from the corner in the opening seconds to put Rappahannock on top, 4-0. Natalie Butler hit from the same spot and Kim Settle bombed from way outside, bringing the booster section alive with whistles and cheers of”Let’s go Rapp!” At the four minute mark in the quarter, the Panthers were in control with a 10-2 edge. Atkins fired a low trajectory bullet from the top of the key and then Karen Iordan fo'ilhd her range, connecting from the comer and muscling her way inside to stretch the lead to 20-12 by the end of the first period. Brentsville scored first in the second quarter but E.T.’s Rappahannock Cousin? — Scorekeeper Eugene Grigsby looked out of this world, sporting a set of shiney blue antenna, as he kept the tally for Tuesday’s girls basketball contest. Road Race The gun will go off starting the sixth annual Festival of Leaves 10 Kilometer Race on Saturday, October 9, at 10:45 a.m. The race begins at Warren County Junior High School in Front Royal. Check-in time is between 9:45 and 10:30 a.m. For registration information, send a stamped selfaddressed envelope to Connie Michael, Rt. 2, Box 35, Strasburg, Va. 22657. Jordan came right back, driving down the center lane for a basket and drawing a foul. She hit both ends of a one-and-one to make it 24-14 and added another two points with a jumper from the middle of the key. But the Tigers, taller player for player at every position, began to put their height to work, controlling the boards and getting two and three shots at the basket. At the same time, the Panthers hit a cold streak. Rappahannock passes started to bounce into the hands of the visitors from Prince William as the pace began to tell on RCHS girls. Supported by a bench full or Orange jerseys. Brentsville stayed fresh and poured on he defensive pressure to end he half in front, 36-28. With guard Kim Settle bouncing up into the air to make her presence felt on the defensive boards and karen Iordan connecting from outside, the Panthers pulled to within six. 34-40, midway through the third period. But Iordan. fighting for a rebound, was laid out flat on the floor by towering Tiger center. The sophomore sharp shooter limped to the bench holding a cold pack to her head. Settle took over scoring chores and connected on a long jump to pull the Panthers to within four, 3640. But the momentum had switched. Panther shots careened off the backboard, missing the basket entirely while the Tigers seemed to have magic hands —everything they put up fell through the rim. Jordan came back into the game in the final period and sparked a Rappahannock rally that brought the Panthers to within three 4851. with 3:12 left. The gym shoot again with more shouts of "Lets go Rapp!” Unfortunately, the Panthers sent the ladies from Brentsville to the foul line a few times too many. Rappahannock’s offense also lost its discipline. Balls went sailing at the basket and back off the backboard into the hands of the waiting Tigers who extended their advantage to 64-52 at the final buzzer. High scorer for RCHS was Jordan with 24 followed by Natalie Butler with 12. Atkins with 10 and Settle with six. Chemical xmm Offor Ends SEPTEMBER 30th J&B Service, Inc.

State Champs Squeeze Past Rappahannock Last year’s “single A” state champions. Stonewall Jackson, slipped past Rappahannock, 27-29, in a tri-school cross country meet held last Wednesday at Stonewall. Page High School, competing with only five varsity runners, trailed far behind with 88 points. "It’s the closest we’ve ever come to Stonewall,” coach Ann Spieker said of Rapp’s performance against the cross country powerhouse. But despite the Panthers’ impressive tally in the point column, times were slow. Scott Keithley, Rappahannock’s number one ' runner who set a new school record of 14:56 last week on the 2.7 mile Blue Rock Farms course, finished Stonewall’s 2.9 miles in 17:5^. Weather appeared to be a factor. Coach Speiker Ruzick In NATO Exercises Army Pfc. Peter Ruzich, son of Lt. Col. and Mrs. Rudolph L. Ruzich of Boston, is one of more than 100,000 U. S. soldiers and airmen participating in the U. S. Army REFORGER, or return of forces to Germany, and the U. S. Air Force Crested Cap exercises in Europe. U. S. service members in Europe, as well as those from the United States, join their NATO partners in ground exercises centering on central West Germany east of the Rhine River. The joint exercises are designed to demonstrate U. S. capabilities to reinforce Europe with NATOcommitted ground and air units in a crisis situation. Ruzich is a cavalry scout with the 1st Armored Division in Schwabach, West Germany. noted that temperatures were in the 90 degree range with humidity high as well, conditions not conducive to long distance running. Keithley was second in the tri-meet and the frist Panther harrier to cross the finish line. Ronnie Atkins was right on his heels, completing the 2.9 miles in 18:02. Craig Kenyon and Ricky Shaw were sixth and seventh in 18:10 and 18:13, edged out at the stretch by a pair of Stonewall Jackson runners who posted times just two and three seconds faster than Kenvon's. Other Rappahannock varsity runners to finish were Larry Sisk (11th in 19:11). Elwood Dodson (12th in 19:15). David Dodson (16th in 20:24).

Chief of the Commission’s Game Division, has expressed concern over the steadily increasing incidents of rabid animals being reported throughout the Commonwealth and especially in the northern Virginia area. According to figures released by the State Department of Health, the number of confirmed rabies cases statewide is 42f as of this week. These include 362 raccoons, 27 skunks, nine foxes, seven cats, nine bats, two dogs, four groundhogs and one ferret. Four counties in the northern Virginia area account for about 90 percent of the total. Fairfax County has reported 106 rabid animals: % raccoons, two skunks, four foxes, three bats and one ferret. In Fauquier County the count is 39 total: 32 raccoons, two skunks, two foxes, two cats and one bat. Loudoun County has 205 confirmed cases comprised by 191 raccoons, three skunks, two foxes, two cats, four groundhogs, one dog and two bats. In Prince William County the total was 35 with 31 raccoons, two skunks, one cat and one bat. Raybourne urged all sportsmen to exercise caution and common sense dealing with wild animals and has stressed the advisability of having hunting dogs and pets vaccinated as a precaution. He said also that persons who normally would have a high rate of potential exposure, such as trappers, should seriously consider having a pre-exposure rabies vaccination. Information pertaining to such a vaccine is available from the State Department of Health's Division of Epidemiology at telephone number 804-7866261 or by contact with any local Department of Health or private physician.

Dr. Jerry Martin of the Rappahannock Medical Center said that hay fever is a common complaint at the center, and is treated in various ways, by antihistamines to control symptoms and, in extreme cases, by steroid shots to relieve inflammation. Martin said that mild cases may benefit from over-the-counter allergy remedies. Old-timers had folk remedies to fall back on when the blossoming of ragweed brought on a siege of sneezing and coughing. Dr. D. C. Jarvis, the famous “Vermont Country Doctor”, recommended that his patients chew honeycomb cappings once a day for a month before the ragweed season. In mild cases. Jarvis suggested that hay fever be treated by chewing honeycomb once a day on Monday. Wednesday and Friday. In extreme cases, he prescribed chewing honeycomb five times a day, starting as long as three months before the season. Jarvis said he observed that as long as farmers followed these precautions, they could even cut ragweed without irritation. KODIAK WOODBURNERS Pre-Season Sale SAVE NOW!

S»PARTS«SERMCE ‘‘New Burkes ” At Burkes Store In Woodville By THERESA REYNOLDS Hn|>|>nhnnn«»ok Vh» Stnff ^ rilrr Forty-seven years ago W. R. Burke opened up Burke’s store in Woodville, stocking items to fill most of the needs of local people. Country stores in those days were all rural people had for day-today shopping: no one in those thrifty post-depression years would think of driving 20 or 30 miles for a loaf of bread and a head of lettuce. Years passed and money grew easier. Country stores in Rappahannock survived by filling the gaps between major shopping trips to Front Royal, Culpeper and Warrrenton. Farmers and farm workers who were left to their own devices during the day by working wives gathered at the store down the road for a lunch of crackers, canned meat and soft drinks. But when it came time to really stock up on groceries, off they would go to larger towns where the selection was wider. Gas is no longer cheap and money is harder and harder to come by in these troubled economic times. Smart country store owners are restocking their shelves to provide a week’s worth of groceries to families concerned both about keeping money in struggling Rappahannock communities and conserving gas and dollars spent for gas. One of these shopkeepers is Wilson Burke, who has remodeled his uncle’s store at Woodville to provide the same kind of service that his uncle first gave the little village. Of course, times have changed and the community no longer has the same needs. But the people of Woodville and surrounding areas do have a store now that aims to stock whatever it takes to provide a one-stop shopping center: gas, fresh meat and produce, staples, canned goods, snacks, paper products, cleansers and school supplies. RAPPAHANNOCK GARDENER Prepare For Frost A little planning may help i extend your garden beyond < the first frost, expected in . Rappahannock in the first ! weeks of October. Usually, I our first killing frost is 1 allowed by days of mild < weather. Sometimes, protecting your vegetables for one night can keep them alive for several more weeks. Frost is the condition that occurs when air temperature falls to 32 degrees F. or below. It is most likely to occur when nights are clear with no wind. Clouds help keep the ground temperatures higher, as does wind, which mixes warm air from above with the chilly ground-level air. Gardens in low areas are nost susceptible to frost, as rold air flows down hillsides ind collects in the low spots, doping gardens stay alive ater in the fall, unless a luilding or wall dams the lown-flowing cold air to form i frost pocket. When conditions seem right for the first frost, covering plants may get them through the night. Drape plastic, old blankets or other coverings over them, but remember to remove the covering in the morning. Weeds and dead material in the garden tend to shade the ground during the day. so remove them and leave only the still growing and bearing plants. Letters to Mice were written by old-time gardeners who believed that mice, rats, moles or groundhogs could be pursuaded to leave a garden if they were sent letters with a polite invitation to vacate the premises. Greek farmers cleared gardens of mice by politicly offering them alternative accommodations elsewhere. “Elsewhere" was often the house or garden of a neighbor. Before sunrise the well-greased letter was stuck upon an unhewn stone where the mice could read it before eating it. FEEDER CATTLE SALES MADISON LIVESTOCK MARKET, INC. Madison Mills, Va.

Those who shopped there are aware of Burke’s skill as a butcher. The Burkes plan to offer custom meat cutting and special savings on butcher shop items each week. “I just love the grocery business," Burke said. “I’m glad to be back.” At the grand opening two weeks ago. local people turned out in numbers to patronize the ‘‘new Burkes” at Burke’s store. Fifteen cases of chickens were sold, cars were lined up as far as the eye could see, and a door prize of $50 was awarded to Jerry King of Woodville. All in all, the Burkes considered it a huge success, and the steady stream of Rappahannock people coming and going even on a weekday morning shows that they agree. "We want to serve everybody," Burke said. “I'm glad we're in a position to do that.” Fall arrives on Thursday. September 23. at 4:46 a.m. EDT—the moment when the sun crosses Earth’s equator. This moment marks the autumnal equinox—the official beginning of fall in the northern hemisphere. The word equinox means equal night so most people expect the length of day and night to be exactly the same all over Earth at the time of the equinox. But, according to Dr. Paul H. Knappenberger Jr., director of the Science Museum of Virginia, the sun does not remain in the sky exactly twelve hours until September 27. several days later than the equinox. “The reason for this.” Knappenberger explained, "is that the bending of light by Earth's atmosphere enables us to see the sun rise while it is still Vj degree below the true horizon and we do not see it disappear until it is Vi degree below the western horizon. So, the sun appears to rise two minutes earlier and set two minutes later than it would if there were no atmosphere to bend its light.” From the moment of fall’s arrival until the beginning of spring, the sun is south of the equator, providing less heat in the northern hemisphere but bringing warmer temperatures to the southern hemisphere. “This seasonal change doesn’t mean we’ll be getting cooler temperatures right away,” Knappenberger noted. "Earth’s climate doesn’t repond instantly to the sun’s movements because our oceans act as large heat reservoirs. moderating temperature changes. Weather lags about two to three months behind the sun. That’s why summer heat can last into September and some of our coldest days often come in February.” Mountain Heritage ARTS & CRAFTS FESTIVAI • Hundred! o* crafopaopi* • Lm BkiapraM tawuwinm tMturmf THE * I LOOM SCENE • Down-Horn* Toad and Drink CUTTING MEAT in the back room is Wilson Burke.

Virginians Who Need A Lawyer K< Ca,n Call Hotline For Assistance Consider a Russian ballerina swindled in a smalltown real estate fraud...A mother whose son was accused of murder...Employees of an industrial plant hospitalized following toxic chemical leaks...Investors victimized by a gold and silver scam...Angry consumers wanting restitution after purchasing faulty heat pumps...And a 92-year-old woman fleeing from New Jersey who wanted her lawyer to know she was okay and enjoying Virginia. Staff at the Virginia Lawyer Referral Service (VLRS) claim they have fielded every possible request since the service began in 1977. The VLRS was set up by the Virginia State Bar (VSB) to match consumers with lawyers best suited to their legal needs. According to N. Samuel Clifton. VSB Executive Director, the majority of callers request referrals for legal assistance in the areas of — family law such as adoption, paternity, guardianship, child support, divorce — criminal law such as rape, robbery, drugs — negligence such as personal injury suits —estates, trusts and wills —contract law —real estate —traffic offenses Additional requests pertain to areas of bankruptcy, consumer fraud, legal and medical malpractice, landlord-tenant relations, social security, labor relations, civil rights, immigration, patents and coyprights. Not all callers need to talk to lawyers. Lynn Klein, VLRS Program Coordinator, said often callers’ complaints are more appropriate for action by a service agency, a local legal aid society or the state attorney general’s office. For example, the consumers with faulty heat pumps filed a class action suit through the state attorney general's office. This screening process makes the VLRS “one of the better referral services.” according to James Duner of the American Bar Association's Committee for Lawyer Referral Services. “Another reason for its high marks is the significant proportion of state bar members who participate in the referral service,” Dunner said. Of the approximately 11,000 practicing members of the Virginia State Bar, about 1,500 lawyers are listed with the referral service. Here’s how it works. Any citizen of Virginia wanting to find a lawyer can call toll-free 800-552-7977. or if in Richmond 648-4014, from 8:30 A. M. to 5:00 P.M., Monday through Friday. Based on the caller’s description of the problem, the VLRS staff will provide the name and phone number of a lawyer in the caller’s community or an agency that can help. The caller can then contact the attorney and receive onehalf hour of advice for a fee of $20 or less. Often this initial consultation enables the caller to resolve the problem. If additional legal assistance is required, the caller and the attrrney are responsible for working out any subsequent services and fees. However, there is no obligation to retain the lawyer if additional services are required. The VSB screens each lawyer’s application to insure that he or she is a member of good standing and is covered by malpractice insurance. Lawyers pay a $30 annual fee to be listed with the referral service. In 1977 the VLRS received 15,645 calls and made 8,631 referrals; in 1981 some 21,717 calls resulted in 14,142 referrals. Ms. Klein reported that by mid-June of this year the VLRS had already received 11,128 calls and made 6,6% referrals. Ms. Klein cited the healthy growth of public participation in the program as a sign that the lawyer referral service has become an established public service in Virginia. “This service will continue help Virginians when they need help quickly and effectively,” she said. VSB offers a free pamphlet on its lawyer referral service. It is available by writing to the Virginia State Bar, 700 Building, Suite 1622, Seventh and Main Streets, Richmond, Virginia 23219. Effects Of “Nukes” To Be Addressed The effects of nuclear power, a topic that is generating great interest and controversy nationwide, will be addressed in a special program set for October 15 at the Rappahannock County Library. The program is being presented jointly by the library and the Rappahannock Chapter of the Izaak Walton League. Two outstanding authorities long involved in nuclear development with the United States Army. Lt. General (ret.) Frank Camm and Lt. General (ret.) C. J. Le Van, will join local residents Col. (ret.) Nels Parsons and Dr. Werner Krebser in a panel discussion dealing with the consequences of nuclear power. The panel, which will be moderated by Lee Bird, current president of the county’s Izaak Walton League, will address the following aspects of nuclear development: —products and effects of nuclear energy, —nature of fission and fusion, —use for power generation, —effects of a large nuclear weapon explosion, —five possible scenarios of danger—nuclear power plant accident, third and fourth nation use, tactical nuclear war in Europe, limited strategic nuclear exchange and nuclear holocaust (“Boltout-of-the-blue"). Moderator Bird stressed that the panel will concentrate on environmental effects of use of all forms of nuclear energy and problems of waste disposal. The discussion will not include such subjects as arms reduction, the military budget or specific military and civilian uses of nuclear power. Information concerning the qualifications and background of each speaker will be covered in upcoming Rappahannock News articles. In the meantime, program organizers remind Rappahannock residents to mark tneir calendars for October 15 at 7:30 p.m. for this important presentation. It's a fact.

Clarke Scores Farmland By HOWARD HOLSCHUH, Rappahannock Nn»» Special Writer “Clarke County has developed a sliding scale for evaluating farmland, which could be applicable throughout the rest of Virginia.” With those words. Margaret Maizel unveiled the LESA system for “scoring” farmland, before the annual meeting of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP), on Friday, Sept. 10. Mrs. Maizel is chairman of the Clarke County (Va.) Agricultural Advisory Committee, and a member of the county’s Planning Commission. She and her husband run a beef cattle farm near Berryville. LESA stands for Land Evaluation and Site Assessment, and addresses all factors necessary not only to determine whether or not a piece of property should be included in an Agricultural District, but also to identify property suitable for development, highways construction, or other commercial or private use. Under the program, variable point scores are assigned to the following 1 factors: size of farm; agricultural use of adjacent land, or that within one-mile radius; public or private investment (including water, sewer, roads, utilities, etc.) on, or adjacent to the property; land use, including easements, or classification in an Agricultural District; distance to nearest town; water availability (including rivers, streams, springs, etc.) for irrigation; and longstanding use as a family farm. Higher scores are assigned to property having a greater amount of the “good” factors, and lesser amounts of the “bad" factors. LESA was developed under the Federal Farmland Protection Policy, which encourages local areas to define which farmland is important for them to protect. It is run in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which contributes to the Land Evaluation component. Also at the meeting. Captain Howard Holschuh described the energy conservation and alternate energy development features on display at the World's Fair in Knoxville. Tenn., and the following persons were elected as RLEP directors for the coming year: Hugh Chrisman, Harry Clarkson. Bob Dennis, Priscilla Fillebrown. Charles Hassett, Maurice Herndon, Howard Holschuh, Phil Irwin, George Sharp, Karan Torneden, and Lyt Wood. Plant Evergreens For the next month, you can plant evergreens in this area. Late summer planting allows the tree to develop a vigorous root system before the ground freezes. t Garden Club Tours Homes The Rappahannock County Garden Club journeyed by bus, Wednesday, September 15. to Wakefield, birthplace of George Washington, and to Stratford Hall, the birthplace of Robert E Lee. The Garden Club has for its theme this year "History in my Garden” and this tour was to acquaint members with the gardening practices of the 18th century, as well as to enjoy the splendor of the old homes. Both estates are run as working farms, but Wakefield is operated in the 18th century manner, with a team of oxen for plowing and no modern machinery to help in the gardens. All cooking is done in the kitchen house fireplace. The group of 39 members and guests were met by guides, given introductory slide shows and shown through each of the great houses. At Stratford, the head gardener gave a tour of the grounds. Stratford has a beech tree as old as the house which was built in 1725. It is reported to be the oldest tree in Virginia. There are also hundreds of ancient boxwoods and a nature walk featuring over 6000 wild flowers which bloom in the spring. Donations Sought There are ladies at a local nursing home who have busyfingers but nothing to do.

Rappahannock County School News Back-to-School Boogie A Success The ' ‘ Back-to-School Boogie” held at Rappahannock Hick School last week was a resounding success, according to the RCHS Booster Club, sponsors of the event. High school principal Robert Chappell, who attended the first booster club meeting this year, said that the dance, for first-year students, allowed the younger members of the school to socialize without the pressure of older friends present. The dance was wellattended. the youngsters were well-behaved, and it raised $130.00 for the school, resulting in a donation by the booster club of several pieces of needed equipment to the Science Lab. Winners of the dance contest were Patrick Brown and Nicole Frye. At its meeting last Monday night, the booster club officers introduced themselves to members, discussed the purpose and needs of the club, and made plans for the Friendship Follies to be staged in October. Club members also heard from high school principal Robert Chappell, who said that there were many needs that Booster Club members could help fill. ‘‘I’m especially pleased that we have your support for all the programs of the school, not just the sports program." he said. Chappell identified some specific needs at the high school: the science lab, which has already benefitted from the efforts of the club; the math department computer program; concessions for the three remaining home games; and individual tutoring for high school students. "1 will always try to have a positive attitude,” Chappell told the club members. “We have outstanding young people here, nice youngsters, capable, intelligent and wellbehaved. They're my first concern, and yours, too. I realize." Chappell responded to questions from the floor on improvements to the school, problems with the lunch period and the lack of a gifted and talented program in the school. “It’s just not in the cards for this year," he told the parents about the gifted program. He mentioned the academic English programs and the hiring of a half-time b'and teacher as efforts in the direction of enrichment for the gifted youngsters. « Follies Planned Rappahannock High School students will have the opportunity to attend a performing arts workshop with the popular Fauquier County 4-H Performing Arts group. The Young Dominion on October 16. The RCHS Booster Club is sponsoring this event, which will involve day-long instruction and rehearsal with the youngsters from Fauquier as guests and teachers. The results of their combined efforts will be offered to the public that evening at the high school when the eighty performers from both counties put on a production featuring music, dance, and comedy routines. The show, called the Friendship Follies, needs much support from parents and the community. Help is needed, financial and physical, to provide lunch and dinner for the performers, to assist with the production, and to provide support for this cultural effort by ticket sales. Anyone wanting to attend or to help can call Dawn Fisher, Follies chairman, or any booster club member. Students interested in signing up for this unusual workshop can get a registration form at the school. Proceeds will be used to buy Science Lab equipment. PTA To Meet T/ The Rappahannock Elementary School will have its first Parents-Teachers Association meeting next Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at the school. Barney O’Meara. PTA president, said that the agenda will include many of the items discussed last year. “We hope to also set up committees to work on these projects at our first meeting." O'Meara said. "We hope that all elementary school parents join us." Projects under way are playgtound improvements, purchase of wall hangers for art work display, and purchase of a computer system for school. "Of course, we need fund> raising help for all these projects," O’Meara said. “That will also be discussed at the meeting."

Rey nolds THE STRANGE CONTRAPTION in the foreground was part of an exercise in Physics planned by Rappahannock High School Physics teacher Brian Patterson. Students in Pattersons class were directed to propel an egg as far as they could using only two rubber bands for energy. Another stipulation of the experiment was that the egg had to be protected from breakage. The winners of the experimental egg thrust were Charles Johnson, Chuck Stephenson and Mike Leake. In the background Downing McCoy makes final adjustments to his device. Patterson called the exercise “a smashing success.” Sursum Corda Conducts Workshop Members of the Georgetown University Child Development Center staff w ill be working with Sursum Corda Day Care Center’s teachers and volunteers on Friday and Saturday.

Wakefield Students Receive National Merit Honors Wakefield School senior Lawrence P. Doherty, 17year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. John Doherty of Winchester, has been named a National Merit Scholarship Semifinalist for 1982. Semifinalists qualify on the basis of their scores on the PSAT-NMQT (Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude TestNational Merit Qualifying Test) administered to over one million U.S. secondary school students each October. Nationally, about 15,000 qualified for the distinction, representing the top half of one percent of the nation’s high school graduating class. On the state level, Doherty was one of only 325 Virginia students to rank as a Semifinalist. Having completed the first step in the Merit Scholarship program, semifinalists must meet additional requirements to advance to the Finalist standing. Recipients of the 5,000 Merit Scholarships will be announced by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation in the spring of 1,983. Four other seniors in Wakefield School's 30member senior class Christopher Ingle, son of Col. and Mrs. Robert Ingle of Washington, Scott Reid, Donna Funk, and Mary Tucker Uskurait - have been named commended students for their high scores on the examination. To be eligible for the commended student status, students must score above the 94 percentile on the test. Statewide. 1215 students out of the 27,689 who took the examination CHRIS INGLK have been designated commended students. Next Year, Jerusalem Seder Includes Waiting For Elijah The Rappahannock Players’ fall production. Next Year, Jerusalem, incorporates the ceremony of the traditional Seder with a discussion of personal freedom. In one of the most beloved parts of the ceremony during the Seder meal, the family traditionally leaves the door open for the prophet Elijah to enter. An extra glass of wine is left on the table for him. Elijah, if he were to enter, would announce the coming of the Messianic age, a time of hope, peace and freedom awaited by Jews since the beginning of their history. The expectation of Elijah is viewed by each family in different ways. Some families literally believe in the predicted appearance of the prophet; others see this ritual as a symbol of a change in the world towards brotherhood and love. RCHS Sept. 27-Oct. I Monday Sausage pizza, buttered peas, pineapple upside down cake, choice of milk. Tuesday Pork barbecue on bun, cole slaw, apple cobbler, choice of milk.

Many families surround this part of the ceremony with merriment. Guests may conceal their arrival outside the home until the door is open and then arrive just as Elijah is expected. In Next Year Jerusalem as in many homes during the Seder meal, Elijah’s wine is anxiously watched for any sign that the prophet is drinking from the extra glass.

Rt. 29 N Culpeper, Ve. 825-8381 l Whites Play Art Sleuths By DAPHNE HITCHINSON Rappahannork Staff Writer Antique sleuths Dorothy and Emmet White are on the trail of a mystery, trying to unravel the story of how prints by a 17th century German painter and naturalist made their way to Rappahannock. Recognized locally as experts on furniture, painting, glassware and other items from the past, the Whites have picked up treasure after treasure at auctions around the county. When they spotted the framed prints at a Rappahannock' estate sale, their interest was sparked. “We knew they were good and we knew they were old.” Emmet said. “The quality was there.” “The antiquity and the history were there,” added Dorothy. But after they bought the prints they had to track down that history; the delicate hand painted engravings on hand-made paper didn’t come with a brochure detailing their background. Dorothy wrote first to the Tate Gallery, sending photographs of the prints of daffodils, butterflies, spiders, pink peonies and dragonflies. “The reason we wrote to England was that on the back of one of the engravings, it said ‘framed in London.’ Otherwise, we wouldn’t have known where to start.” Her photographs of the front of the engravings plus the almost illegible monogram in the back were forwarded by the art experts at the Tate to the British Museum of Natural History. The Museum wrote the Whites some months later, reporting that the engravings were the work of Maria Sibylla, a painter and nautralist who was born in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1647. According to the information sent by the Museum, she was primarily interested in entomology but is also considered as one of the finest botanical illustrators of her time. Sibylla studied painting and then traveled to Serinam in 1698 to draw the reptiles and insects of that country from which she produced her principal work, “A History of the Insects of Serinam” in folio with 60 plates. The material from England also noted that Sibylla’s works were in the People’s Museum in Leningrad and in museums in Amsterdam and Copenhagen. BUILDING PERMITS Dale Welch of Flint Hill.

Planners Consider Gun Range (Continued from Page 1) If Promised Lord’s amendment is approved, “you could leave churches as a use permitted by right until this (the current) ordinance goes out,” Konick said. In order to get the proper authorization in place as soon as possible, the zoning administrator suggested that the supervisors and planning commissioners hold a joint public hearing on the amendment to allow churches as a use by right in an agricultural zone No Short Cuts “We’ve gotten into tremendous trouble in the past with joint public hearings. We’ve made some mistakes. It’s a short cut and it generally backfires,” countered Miller. “We all vowed we would never do it again.” Konick replied that the planning commissioners and supervisors could hold backto-back hearings with the supervisors advertising their meeting for the required two weeks before getting a recommendation from the planners on the proposed zoning amendment. “That’s another short cut,” Miller responded, shaking his head in objection. Addressing another point, the zoning administrator noted that Promised Land Church is situated right on the road. “I don’t know exactly what they’re trying to do but I hope they don’t have setback problems.” “I wish there was a way it (the approvals for the church enlargement) could be handled administratively—a legal way,” Miller stated. “Justice would be better served...This is one of the frailties of this ordinance.” Debt Defying Enjoy a relaxed pace of life in this exceptional home on Oaklawn Drive in Culpeper.

Vi 22701 (703)825-1717 Estes’ motion that the proposed zoning amendment to allow churches by right in an agricultural district be advertised for the commissioner’s October meeting with endorsed reluctantly but unanimously. ‘‘That’s as expedient as we can get and stay within the terms of the ordinance,” he added. Konick volunteered to get in touch with representatives of the Promised Land Church and explain to them what they need in order to apply for a special use permit from the Board of Zoning Appeals. Back Again "I never go away,” joked Peter Luke, back before the planning commissioners for a third time with a proposal for a firing range on behalf of his clients, Robert and Ruth Bowers. He noted that when the planners last voted to recommend denial of a zoning ordinance amendment to allow firing ranges with a special use permit in an agricultural zone, they asked for more specific criteria and advice from experts. Luke reported that he has contacted Col. William Deneke, a retired officer with wide experience in designing firing ranges for the military. Deneke and a National Rifle Association representative from that group’s range development center are both able to attend the commission's October meeting, Luke said, requesting that a public hearing on the range amendment be set for that time. Decibel Limit Miller recalled that when the amendment was last considered, the planning commissioners tried to determine the sound volume of 80 decibels, the limit on range noise in the proposed amendment “A tractor-trailer going by is about 70-75 decibels,” Konick noted. "That’s not hard and fast" countered commission chairman A.Y. Stokes, adding that some tractor trailers pass “and you can hardly hear them.” “Sound is very abstract,” Luke replied. “I don’t think the experts will be able to give you a hard and fast example of 80 decibels.” He explained that sound level depends on keeness of hearing, wind, humidity in the air, terrain and other factors. Luke volunteered, however, to provide the commissioners with information on what other localities have done regarding limits on sound levels. He noted that skeet and trap shooting have been deleted from the proposed range amendment. His clients aren’t interested in providing that type of shooting at their range, Luke said. "And you need too much land to ensure that the shot fall won’t bother anyone.” He gave the commissioners copies of range ordinances from other nearby jurisdictions. Fairfax’s and Prince William’s regulations are on one page with few specifics, Luke pointed out. “You just come in and apply for a special use permit..Culpeper just grants a special use permit too. There’s nothing in the zoning ordinance about it.” Referring to the criteria for controlling shooting ranges included in the Bowers’ amendment, Luke told the planning commissioners that they’d "probably be hard pressed to find a county that has anything as sophisticated or detailed as what is proposed here.” “We’ve received this thing. I think we have to give them a public hearing," said Miller, as the commissioners voted to advertise the hearing for October 20th. ++++ The beaten path is the safest.

The Whites wrote to both Scandinavian institutions and Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum replied, identifying the monogram on the back of the prints through F. Lugt’s Marques de Collection as belonging to Heinrich Stiebel, “a citizen of Frankfurt.” The engravings had been sold at a six-day auction of Stiebel’s estate. November 10-16, in 1920, according to Rijksmuseum. "Now we’re at the part of the research we're so terribly interested in,” Emmet said. “How did the engravings get to Rappahannock? How did they last so long and stay so well preserved?” The Whites are still looking for the solution to that puzzle. “It's a great deal of fun,” Emmet remarked. “When you get the answers!” added his detective partner. In the meantime, the Whites will have the prints on display at their antique shop in Sperryville this Sunday and just maybe, some historical buff will be able to add another piece to the puzzle of Maria Sibylla’s engravings. “Their value is more historical than financial,” Emmet said. “But there’s probably not an older engraving or work of art of any kind in this area.” FOR SALE WELL KEPT LARGE TWO LEVEL RAMBLER IN PARK LIKE SETTING W/VIEWS AND WOODS TO SUPPLY FUEL FOR THE WOOD STOVE AND FIREPLACE.

PHOTO a Y BRETT PHILLIPS A spectacular shot of tha 'glorious Hell-for-sporfas three horses go down at Oatlands Polnt to-Poln t. ' — A Glorious, Hell-for-Leather Sport...9 By PETER CHEW In the early 1870s, when steeplechasing was still a novelty in this country, a writer named Eli Perkins struggled to convey the excitement of a jumping race to those who had never seen one. Perkins advised his readers to imagine a horse race “over walls, ditches, and hedges — over the pastures. Think of fire engines bound for a fire; think of a mad horse race up the Roman Corso.” Indeed, there is no more exciting sight in all the world than a field of steeplechasers in flight over “walls, ditches and hedges” — or over timber, brush, or the plastic National Fences that make up most American steeplechase courses today. Steeplechasing is a glorious, hellfor-leather sport that evolved from fox hunting. “A steeplechasing course, no matter where it is located, is merely a manicured version of a line of hunting country,” notes John Ellis Rossell, Jr., historian of the Maryland Hunt Cup, the Peter Chew is Washington correspondent for The Blood-Hone, and the author of The Ken tuck; Derby: The Flnt 100 Yean. His articles on horses have appeared in American Heritage, Smltheontan, Sport* 111 nitrated, Town ft Country, and the like. As a boy. he schooled hunters and chasers under trainer Norman Haymaker at the late Dr. Lewis M. Allen's Clifton Farm in Behytitte. Yirgtnld.. Nation’s greatest timber race. Tradition holds that steeplechasing was born one day in 1752 when a Mr. O’Callaghan and Mr. Blake, riding home from a fox hunt in Ireland, challenged one another to an informal race from Buttevant Church to St. Leger Church, a distance of some 4V4 miles, hence the term “steeplechasing.’’ There is evidence that similar races had taken place in England 100 years earlier, but never mind. The first formal steeplechase involving more than two horses took place in Leicester in 1792, and the first organized steeplechasing began at St. Albans in 1830. Steeplechasing came to the United States via Canada, and there were isolated jumping races in Paterson and Hoboken, New Jersey, before the Civil War. But it wasn’t until after the North-South conflict that Jerome Park and other major race tracks of the day began installing steeplechase courses. By the turn of the century, nearly every major flat race track in this country had a steeplechase course. For many and varied reasons, but mostly because bettors tend to be leery of ‘chasers, steeplechasing gradually faded from the flat race tracks. In late 1971, the rich infield ‘chases at Belmont and Aqueduct were discontinued, and the number of jumping races at Saratoga were' sharply reduced. Delaware Park retained the jumpers, as did Monmouth Park in New Jersey. Hie sport’s future appeared bleak. With steeplechasing’s The Cover Warrenton photographer Douglas Lees received the 1978 Eclipse Award, denoting the best racing photo of the year, for this dramatic picture of Master's Degree landing on his nose and rider Buzzy Hannum about to follow. head thus cut off, there was reason to fear in the early 1970s that chasing’ body, namely the 28 hunt race meetings at places such as Middleburg, Va., would consequently wither or die. The purse structure at the major New York tracks had always provided the sport’s foundation. Traditionally, owners have run their horses at the hunt meetings for silver trophies and/or purses which rarely have covered the vanning bills. They have run pour l» sport, supported in large measure by individuals such as Mrs. Marion du Pont Scott, of Montpelier, Virginia, who have for decades provided from their private funds. Steeplechasing has had more close calls than Eliza on the ice, however, and when it appears down and out, it takes on a new lease. The people who put on the hunt race meetings went out and won local, and some national, commercial sponsors, to take up the slack. They have been remarkably successful. Recently, the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association (NSHA), the sport’s governing body, took a step which may increase greatly the national commercial sponsorship of hunt racing, open the sport to television coverage, and bring to this traditionally insular fraternity a measure of national recognition. The NSHA has made the International Management Group (IMG), the world’s largest sports marketing organization, exclusive agent for negotiating film and television rights to its hunt race meetings, and exclusive agent for soliciting national commercial sponsorship of its races. As agent for the American Grandprix Association, IMG has brought the level of commercial sponsorship of these showjumping events from relatively nothing to $750,000 in 1982, after less than three years. The NSHA expects that within a few years, national commercial sponsorship will add from $500,000 to $750,000 to the annual purse structure of its hunt race meetings, which distributed $815,400 in 1981. Something under $300,0000 of that total was derived from local commercial sponsors, and such solicitation will continue. These and other factors have brought about a resurgence of steeplechasing in recent years, and it is even taking on renewed life at the major tracks. Today, Saratoga, Belmont Park, Monmouth Park, Delaware Park, the Meadowlands, and Arlington Park card a few infield races. On the recent Budweiser Million day program at Arlington Park, they put on an infield race over specially designed board fences, a race won by Peter J. Thompson’s gray Shy Donald with William Chewning aboard, a horse which will be running often in Virginia ’chases this fall. The most die-hard lovers of ‘chasing are to be found in the Green Spring and Worthington Valleys of Maryland, the country around Unionville, Pennsylvania, and in the MiddleburgWarrenton-Leesburg axis of Virginia where hunt racing comes close to being a religion. In 1978, Raymond G. (Raymie) Woolfe, Jr., inaugurated the highly successful Foxfield Meeting in Charlottesville, Virginia, and in 1980, Dr. Joe Rogers organized the first meeting at Morven Park, outside Leesburg - the seventh such hunt meeting in the state, the others being Strawberry Hill in Rifchmond; Virginia Gold Cup, Warrenton, Fairfax, Leesburg, Middleburg, and Montpelier. There are those who worry, and rightly so, about what increased commercialization might do to steeplechasing, flat racing having long ago become more of an industry than a sport, with horses being quickly retired to stud after winning a few big stakes races. However, the consensus appears to be that without further commercialization, steeplechasing might well face extinction. And as Paul Mellon said awhile back in a speech to the Thoroughbred Club of America: “I can’t imagine life without ‘chasers'. .

‘Bowman’ Tops Card at Fairfax BY DON HINTZ The 25th annual fall meeting of the Fairfax Hunt Steeplechase Races will be held at the beautiful Belmont Plantation on September 25,1982. The first race is 2 p.m. Belmont Plantation originally was acquired by Thomas Lee of Strafford as a royal grant. It descended to Flora Lee, newphew of Francis Lightfoot Lee, both signers of the Declaration of Independence. Ludwell Lee, who was an aid to Lafayette during the American Revolution, built the manor house about 1800. President Madison took refuge at Belmont after the British seige of Washington in the War of 1812, and Lafayette was a guest during his 1824-5 visit to America. Modem owners of Belmont included Edward Beale McLean, and Gen. Patrick J. Hurley, President Hoover’s secretary of war. After renting it to the Philippine government in exile for a year during World War II, General Hurley sold the estate to George C. Clark in 1943. It is presently owned by the IBM Corporation and is also used during the season, as the departure point for many of the Fairfax Hunt meets. There are a total of six races on the program, which are preceded by the fast paced pony races at 1 h 00 ' o O / 5 S Ready to run at Fairfax Hunt Races. p.m. The first race, which is a Ladies race on the turf begins at 2 p.m. There are other flat races and a series of “timber races,” which are just that, racing over a series of solidly constructed timber fences, with keen competition for the purse! The featured race is the Bowman Bowl, named after the founder of the Fairfax Hunt, A. Smith Bowman, Sr. Mr. Bowman, M.F.H. (1868-1952) born in Kentucky, but a Virginian by choice for the last quarter century of his life, was an admired and respected businessman. He is particularly remembered as a delightful host, a fine horseman and ardent sportsman. Mr. Bowman’s consuming interest in fox hunting is directly responsible for the existence of the Fairfax Hunt, whose activities for years were centered on and around the 7200 acre Sunset Hills estate, acquired by Mr. Bowman in 1927 and now known as Res ton. The Bowman family continues to this day to take an active part in the Fairfax Hunt activities. A. Smith Bowman’s interest in local problems and projects began in the late 20’s, and his influence is reflected even in the current operations of the Fairfax Hunt. Dowty Rotol Sponsors Morven Park Chase Dowty International to be run as the third race at the 1982 Morven Park Meeting, and is sponsored by Dowty Rotol Incorporated, in Sterling, Virginia, part of a worldwide organization. Dowty has 46 companies in 12 countries and employs approximately 16,000 people, thus the ‘ ‘ international. ’ ’ Dowty Rotol Incorporated is in the Aerospace and Defense Division, one of four Dowty Divisions. The others are Electronics, Industrial and Mining. At the Sterling facility, the Hydraulics, Railway and Seals Divisions of the Dowty Industrial Corporation are well represented. Dowty is a world leader in aerospace and defense systems engineering and provides unparalleled total design, manufacturing and product support services to the world’s airframe, aero engine and missile manufacturers. This highly advanced technology is constantly applied to the demanding requirements of international air, sea and land forces. Dowty is currently involved with 140 military establishments in 80 countries, 80 prime contractors in 17 countries, and 165 airlines in 85 countries and its . aircraft products have been fitted to more than 300 commercial and military aircraft. September 18, 1982 was a special day at Dowty Rotol Incorporated. It was the company’s 25th Anniverssary and, to mark the occasion, W. N. Squire, Dowty Group Director and Managing Director of the Aerospace and Defense Division, participated in special activities, at the Sterling location. The highlight was his presentation of 25-year service awards to Howard G. Bird, company president; Rennison A. Maby, vice president, commercial department; and Ray Ashley, warehouse manager. Each has been with the company since it was established in 1957. The Dowty Rotol Incorporated facility is designed expressly for the repair and overhaul of propellers, landing gears, flight controls, and a wide range of mechanical and hydraulic equipment. More than two years ago Dowty Rotol Inc. became the assembly, test and dispatch base for the new ARA-D range of Dowty Rotol propellers currently fitted to the Gulfstream American 840/980/900/1000 series and the Fairchild Swearingen Metro,III and Merlin IVC Aircraft. The ARA-D propeller will eventually be fitted to the Jetstream 31, Piper Cheyenne IV, the SAAB-Fairchild SF-340 and the Embraer Xingu Aircraft. To ensure immediate and continuing technical support to operators of Dowty equipment, or other equipment handled by Dowty Rotol Inc., a staff of technical representatives is available to provide “on-site” operator assistance.

Morven Park Draws Top Timber Horses Steeplechasing moves to Morven Park October 2 for the second meeting of the fall, with three commercial sponsors enhancing the purse distribution and the best timber race of the season shaping up. Match Race Highlights ’81 Ask the average American racegoer what was the most memorable event of 1981 and he’ll probably tell you John Henry’s pose victory at Arlington Park in August or Pleasant Colony’s startling upset at Churchill Downs in May. But ask the same question to anyone lucky enough to be at Foxfield on October 17 and the answer is inevitable — the almost unbelievable match race between Zaccio and Sailor’s Clue in the Grand National. This one was almost too good to be true. It brought together two brilliant young ’chasers at the peak of their powers and matched them together over two miles and five furlongs and 16 perfectly manicured fences. They went at each other like two great veteran boxers, first poking and prodding each other for weaknesses during the early going then turning on the speed and each trying to overpower the other in the final stages. In the end it was the invincible Zaccio in front by a nose and yet both horses shared equally in the accolades that followed. The third Morven Park meeting will be run over the course just off Route 15 two miles north of Leesburg with post time at 2 p.m. Dry weather that has kept some timber horses at home during the early meetings will play hand in making the S. H. Rogers Memorial one of the highlights of the season, according to observers. The race will be at three and a quarter miles over timber. The Maryland National Bank, sponsor of the $5000 brush race bearing its name; Dowty Rotol, an international manufacturing concern which will sponsor a $2500 brush event; and J. R.’s Restaurant, lending its name and backing to a two-mile brush race for maidens, are the firms that have lent support to the Morven Park races. Morven Park is the newest of Virginia’s steeplechase courses having been completed in 1980 on land provided by the Westmoreland Davis Foundation which maintains the 1200-acre estate. Morven Park was the home of former governor of Virginia whose name the foundation bears. It is one of the few courses in steeplechasing affording all spectators a view of the entire race. It is situated on rolling terrain north and east of the Morven Park mansion and adjoining the Morven Park International Equestrian Institute.

Leesburg, Virginia September 22,1982 An artist's rendering ot the Marion duPont Scott Veterinary Medical Center. Vet Center Moves Ahead Construction is slightly ahead of schedule at the Marion duPont Scott Equine Medical Center at Morven Park near Leesburg. “In fact,” says Dr. R. Lee Pyle, director of the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital at the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine, “if all continues to go well, we may be able to open that facility September 1,1983.” The $4 million equine medical center is a satellite of the new regional veterinary college. The main campus of the college is THE FOXFIELD RACES Charlottesville, Virginia Saturday, October 16 First Race 2 p. m. under construction at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. The 200-acre construction site at Morven Park was donated to Virginia Tech by the Westmoreland Davis Memorial Foundation. Mrs. Marion duPont Scott of Montpelier in Orange County, Va., provided $4 million for construction of the equine center and simultaneously challenged other Virginia horse owners and breeders to provide at least $2 million toward construction of the main hospital facilities in Blacksburg. “Mrs. Scott showed great foresight in issuing that challenge,” says Dr. Richard B. Talbot, dean of the college. “For until the main hospital facility is complete, the satellite facility will not realize its full potential for service, research and instruction.” A major capital campaign is underway to raise $8 million in non-state funds to begin construction of the main teaching hospital facilities in Blacksburg. The total cost of the facility is estimated at $16 million. “The equine center at Morven Park will operate as part of the teaching hospital program," explained Dr. Pyle. “Both facilities will share the primary objectives of service, research and instruction, and faculty specialists will be on call to assist in cases at either location.” In anticipation of a September 1983 opening, the college has appointed a committee to begin an international search for a director for the Equine Medical Center. Dr. Joseph Alexander, coordinator of the surgical service of the VMTH and acting chairman of the Division of Agricultural and Urban Practice, is chairman of the committee. The College hopes to complete the search and announce the appointment of the director by January 1983. “When the doors open at the Marion duPont Scott Equine Medical Center, we expect to have four clinicians, one of who will be the director. The clinicians will represent various specialties in equine medicine and surgery and, although they will be based in Leesburg, each will be a member of one of the academic divisions of the college and will share in the program implementation and operational responsibilities of the college,” Dr. Talbot said. The two facilities will be linked by computer to aid communication. In addition, plans have been made for a charter air service to transport personnel to and from northern Virginia and Blacksburg. Initially, the equine center will provide patient housing for 30 horses and facilities for examination and special procedures, soft tissue and orthopedic surgery, intensive care, radiology, physical therapy, and pathology. There will be a general reception area, a medical records section, and other administrative offices. In addition, there will be a pharmacy, seminar rooms, and a library. Morven Park To House Carriage Assocation The Carriage Association of America, Inc. in an agreement with trustees of the Westmoreland Davis Foundation, will establish a national headquarters at Morven Park, a move that eventually will make the estate near Leesburg a major center of coaching. The 2,500-member Association initially will open an office to house its extensive library and to publish its quarterly magazine, The Carriage Journal. Association membership represents all parts of the United States and Canada. Edward A. Maurer, Jc.»Morven Park resident manager, expressed delight at having the Association on the grounds and pointed out that Morven Park had been selected over other sites that included the Kentucky Horse Park. Once the headquarters is established, the Association will add a working museum in the old Morven Park coach house where visitors may see craftsmen restoring carriages, making harness and outfitting turnouts. Clinics, driving exhibitions and other related activities will be scheduled, Maurer said. Morven Park already is the - location of one of the largest carriage collections in the country.

Steeplechasing’s First Lady By PETER WIN ANTS The Montpelier Steeplechase Races will be held at Montpelier Station, near Orange, on Saturday, November 6. Post time for the first race on the five-race card is 1:30. There is no admission charge. The races are held and are named for Mrs. Marion du Pont I Scott’s estate. Mrs. Scott is known as the “first lady of steeplechasing,” having raced and bred champion horses at Montpelier for more than 50 years. Her great jumper Battleship won the English Grand National in 1938; her Mongo and Proud Delta were champions in flat racing; her Soothsayer over fences. So a visit to Montpelier exposes one to the birthplace of champion race horses. Likewise, it encompasses a visit to the home of a president, for Ambrose Madison built the mansion at Montpelier in 1723, and Montpelier was the residence of his son, President James Madison. After serving two terms as president, Madison returned to Montpelier and lived there until his death in 1836. In Madison’s day, Montpelier was spelled with two L’s, denoting the French influence at the time, and the name of the estate means “at the foot of the Mountain” in French. The late William du Pont (Mrs. Scott’s father) purchased Montpelier in 1900. In 1902, when she was eight, Montpelier became Mrs. Scott’s home. In short order, she and her brother, the late William, Jr., enjoyed ponies at Montpelier, and both children embarked on life-long involvement with horses. In 1927, Mrs. Scott founded the Montpelier Hunt; in 1935, the first Montpelier race meet was held. As to the free admission at the races, this is Mrs. Scott’s attractive way of acknowledging her appreciation for her neighbors and friends, and to steeplechase fans in general. Driving south from Orange on the road to Charlottesville (Virginia Route 20), visitors will find Montpelier on the left, approximately five miles out of Orange. Montpelier’s gate posts are decorated with large replicas of eagles with outstretched wings.
