Rappahannock News, October 28, 1982

The County Family Newspaper Since 1877 USPS 45558C 14 Pages THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28. 1982 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA Phone 675-3349 25' Supt. Is Chief Exec. Officer By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer In a written opinion dated October 21, Virginia Attorney General Gerald Bailies affirmed that a superintendent of schools qualifies as a chief executive officer of a political subdivision of the Commonealth. But the superintendent can claim an exemption from disclosure for his working papers ONLY as long as those papers are not dissemanted to the school board, the state’s chief law enforcement officer emphasized. The ruling was sought by Rappahannock’s commonwealth's attorney Douglas Baumgardner after the Rappahannock News filed a formal complaint, alledging that the school board was in violation of Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act. The News had requested copies of two architectural reports and budget analysis on the combination bus maintenance facility-central office and a report on the indexed salary scale currently under consideration. The board denied the requests. Subsequently, a copy of the salary scale proposal was turned over to the News but with the proviso that the release was voluntary and not required under the Freedom of Information Act. In response to the complaint on FOI violation lodged by the newspaper, Baumgardner himself requested copies of the architectural reports, acknowledging that he planned to make the documents available to the News. The board denied his request. Baumgardner then countered with a suggestion that the board act jointly with him to ask for an Attorney General’s ruling on (1) whether the superintendent of schools qualifies as a chief executive officers of a political subdivision (2) when reports cease to fall in the category of working documents and (3) whether the architectural reports were exempt from disclosure on the grounds that they were prepared exclusively for executive session. The school board turned down the commonwealth’s attorneys suggestion, reportedly acting on the advice of special legal counsel Phillip Stone. (Continued on Page 3) Baldwin *s Burlarized Baldwin's Store in Washington was burglarized sometime Sunday evening by theives who took four guns, two wrist watches. $75 in change and other miscellaneous items, according to the Rappahannock sheriff’s department. The break-in occurred sometime between 6 p.m., October 24, and 6:15 a.m., October 25. Proprietor Clarence Baldwin discovered the broken window through which the burglars entered when he opened for business Monday morning. Sheriff W. A. Buntin reported. The sheriff said that Baldwin had noticed a dark car pulled up in front of the store at around 9:30 p.m. Sunday night. Two Virginia State Troopers also saw the same car parked in the store lot that evening but neither Baldwin nor the troopers checked further since “cars are there all the time,” Buntin said. Investigation is continuing, the sheriff added, requesting persons who saw anything at the store Sunday evening or who have informatinn on the crime to contact his office at 675-3332.

Hutchinson CLOWNING AROUND—Rappahannock youngsters, decked out in costumes for the Friendship Follies’opening number, mugged for the camera before Saturday ’s show began. The elementary school stage was packed with talent as Fauquier’s Young Dominion led the local kids through intricate song and dance routines mastered with just a day of rehearsal. While all the performers were great, Jimmy Freeman’s gospel solo and Marie Davis’ rendition of Fame stood out as extra special. Polls Show Davis,Robinson Leading Random telephone surveys conducted Monday night by the Rappahannock News and other Arundel papers show Democratic candidate Richard Davis leading in the race for Virginia's U.S. Senate seat long held by the Byrds. The same surveys give Republican incumbent J. Kenneth Robinson a comfortable margin over his challengers for the 7th District slot in the House of Representatives. This week’s responses compared to the polls conducted by Arundel newspapers on October 4 indicate that Davis is gaining momentum while Robinson has dropped eight percentage points from his lead. With elections just a week away, 50 percent of those contacted in the News poll favored Davis and 42 percent voiced support for Republican Paul Trible with eight percent undecided. Davis outpolled Trible by a two-to-one margin in the Washington area and held a slight edge in the WoodvilleSperryville area while Trible reversed that edge in Amissville - ViewtownCastleton. The candidates are running a deadheat in Chester Gap-Huntly, according to the News poll. Combined surveys by the five Arundel newspapers — Rappahannock News, Reston Times, Clarke Courier, Loudoun Times Mirror and Fauquier Democrat — show Davis with support from 42 percent of those polled, Trible with 31 percent and 27 percent still undecided. The Democratic candidate apt pears to be running strongest in the Reston area and behind only in Loudoun County where Davis trails Trible, 33 to 35 percent. In the contest for the 7th District House seat, the Rappahannock News poll found Democrat Lindsay Dorrier running dead even with Robinson, the six term veteran, in Amissville and Chester Gap-Huntly. Dorrier holds a slight edge in Washington, according to the News survey, but Robinson outpolled the Democratic candidate from Albemarle County by almost four-to-one in Sperryville-Woodville. That margin contributed si(u»5cantly to his lead in the county as a whole, giving Robinson a margin of 50 percent to 38 percent for Dorrier. 1 Arundel Newspapers Total □ Rappahannock County Results U.S. SENATE RICHARD DAVIS ID) PAUL TRIBI.K (Rl I NDKCIUKU* U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES SEVENTH DISTRICT MINIMAL DORR IKK <1)1 J.

Park Sets Open House On Management Plan The National Park Service will host an open house to review Shenandoah National Park’s draft general management and development plan on Thursday, November 18, at the Rappahannock elementary school from 3:30 to 5 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. “The general management plan is a single document which outlines and explains all aspects of the park's operation,” said park superintendent Robert Jaconsen. “The plan provides for the protection, perpetuation and interpretation of the natural and cultural resources through the provision of adequate programs, staff and facilities—thus assuring that American and foreign visitors may enjoy and appreciate the special recreational opportunities available here in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains.” Major items in the plan include funded research for selected natural resources; nomination of 16 cultural resources (including the Skyline Drive) to the National Register of Historic Places; improved circuitry for the over 500-mile-long trail system, including elimination of 6 Appalachian TrailSkyline Drive crossings; and rehabilitation of varied visitor use and park operations facilities. “The largest and most expensive proposal is the complete rehabilitation of the Skyline Drive," noted Jacobsen. "While the estimated cost of this project is nearly $69 million, it is essential in order to continue this historic, world famous, and heavily used visitor facility which is so important to the park, the Commonwealth, and the nation." A summary of the plan is being sent to more than 1.500 citizens on the park's mailing list, and the full, approximately 200-page-long document is being distributed to appropriate federal, state, and local agencies, organizations and officials. Public reading copies of the complete draft plan are available for review at the Rappahannock County Library and clerks office. Copies of the poster-size summary can be obtained from park headquarters, Luray, Va. 22835, telephone 999-2243. (Continued on Page 3) Deer Hunt Raises Storm Of Protest By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock Staff U ritcr In a hilly compound just north of the RappahannockWarren County line, zebras graze in rocky meadows, camels strut by startled motorists on Route 522. and reindeer make their stately way between chain link fence and stucco stable. They are residents of the Conservation and Research Center of the National Zoo, a 3,100- acre former horse and mule-breeding farm. These acres now house animals threatened in the wild and difficult to manage in captivity. In recent weeks the exotic residents of the center have been overshadowed by the intense local and national attention focused on a more commonplace animal which roams the Center's fields and woods: the white-tail deer. The numbers of deer presently within the center’s boundaries have grown to more than 1,000. a number that the Center's directors feel is threatening the food supply and health of its animals as well as posing a serious threat to the wellbeing of the white-tail herd itself. Last year the Center opened an area to hunters in an attempt to curtail the growth of the herd, but this year’s efforts to repeat the public hunt have stirred protests from a few local citizens and a loud outcry from members of the Humane Society of the United States, in Washington, D.C. and other individuals and groups. “We can understand the concern of the people who have objected," said Curatorin-Charge Christen Wemmer. "To people who sympathize with the work of the zoo and with animal protection, it seems shocking that we would be involved in any wav with the killing of animals.” Dr. Wemmer is a young zoologist who has been in charge of the Front Royal operation since planning began in 1975. Dr. Wemmer is faced with a problem that he sees as involving not only the Center's operations but the Blue Ridge community outside his fences. "It’s easy to see what the deer population is doing to us.” Dr. Wemmer said. ‘‘They’ve eaten the alfalfa fields that we depend upon for pasture and hay, and they harbor parasites that have killed our animals.” The Center’s reindeer herd, originally 12, has dwindled to six after deaths from brainworm, a parasite tolerated and spread by the white-tails. Suggestions from groups protesting the hunt that the Center improve its fences or simply move the deer outside do not fit Dr. Wemmer’s idea of a practical solution. “Then, we just inflict our problem on the community." he said. “The deer continue to grow in number until starvation and disease strike.” The curator also pointed out that removal of the animals from the Center's grounds also subjects them to public hunting. "We just don’t have an appealing solution,” he said. Dr. Wemmer's decision to allow supervised hunting was made after consultation with the Virginia Game Commission, which has the authority to manage nonmigratory game in the state. Game Commission experts recommended the controlled hunt, as well as drives that push the deer outside Center boundaries. A drive can be done in small areas, with an escape provided for the deer and a human line walking slowly through the area to sweep the deer out. Dr. Wemmer tried this method last year in his alfalfa-growing area, and it was successful. "It was successful from our point of view,” he said. "We cleared out a 700-acre area with a tremendous expenditure of manpower and time.” The drive approach offers relief in spots, but does not solve the larger problem. "Our neighbor in Harmony Hollow, who runs a commercial orchard, doesn’t want our 1,000 deer any more than we do," Dr. Wemmer said. After checking with the Game Commission and officials at the National Zoo. Dr. Wemmer scheduled a hunt for the first week of hunting season. Hunters would be chosen by lottery and trained by Center staff in efficient and humane practices. Bows as well as shotguns w a:Id be permitted. "Only staff members would be allowed in the area with the rare Eld’s deer." Dr. Wemmer said. "We're afraid that the general public would not be able to distinguish them from the white-tails." Otherwise, hunters would be required to abide by Virginia hunting laws, observing a bag limit of one deer. Hunt Postponed The unexpected public reaction has caused postponement of the public hunt until after Nov. 4, when Dr. Wemmer and other officials of the National Zoo and.the Game Commission will present their case to a Congressional subcommittee in Washington. Meanwhile, the controversy continues to occupy national attention with television cameras sharing the quiet fields with the exotic animals. The Humane Society placed a large advertisement condemning the hunt in The Washington Post on Oct. 25. “This is taking up all our time," Wemmer said. Last week, he appeared before a gathering of concerned Friends of the National Zoo, an organization that supporis the work of the zoo, "I think it would be fair to say that most of those at our meeting opposed the hunt,” he said. “In particular, they were (Continued on Page 9) Nappatuinnook Vw« PKolo/T KrynoM* ( urator-In-< .harge Dr. Christen ^emmer: have no appealing solution.

The results of their interviews were published in a booklet, Virginia Odyssey. One of the students, Daniel Gom, went to a “picking party” with Rappahannock guitarist Charlie Tomkins at the Amissville home of musician Ronnie Poe, where he met and talked with several old-time and younger bluegrass musicians. Poe’s group, the Freestate Ramblers, is appearing in Washington on November 6 at the fire hall for a concert sponsored by the Rappahannock Association for Arts and the Community. This is part 1 of a two-part article giving Gorn’s impressions of a Rappahannock picking party. By DANIEL CORN Rappahannock Vw» Sp**riol 1 r»t»-r Finger Picking Good! “Can’t find music like this anywhere” and “Those ol boys sure know how to play” were some of the things that I was told the night that I went to Ronnie Poe’s “picking party," with guitarist Charlie Tomkins, to listen to some homegrown bluegrass music. Charlie: “Bluegrass is acoustic music and usually features harmony singing, and it has banjo usually, a fiddle, and a mandolin. It's a group thing and kind of a folk music, which has stayed in its roots, whereas other music has become slick and polished.” Ronnie Poe: “Bill Monroe was really the grandaddy of the music. Everything evolved front him. Of course there were the Stanley’s and Earl Scruggs, but Bill Monroe was the biggest.” The community of bluegrass musicians in the Rappahannock County area of Virginia is large and, to me, it seemed like a good place to meet some of the people. I initially met Charlie Tomkins who, even though he was raised in a rural area, wasn’t really one of the grass roots people. He was more worldly. “I have some independent resources, so I can afford to pursue art, which is what I am doing. . .Music is kind of a love of mine. I like doing it and I like keeping it that way. I don’t like it as a profession where I’d have to be doing it all the time and traveling and depending on it.” nonnie roe on me oiner hand, was more of a true Rappahannock County musician. He was born and raised in the county and has been living there all fortyeight years of his life. He, like Charlie, doesn’t make a living from music. Ronnie operates a Texaco. “That's my living” he says. However, he has had music as a larger part of his life. He is in a band called “The Freestate Ramblers” and has made a few recordings with the band’s former (now deceased) fiddle player, John Ashby. “Some day I may want to try and do it (music as a career), at least just to see if 1 can.” As Charlie says: “The area is pretty good community for bluegrass music. Actually the D.C. and surrounding area is the biggest area in the nation for bluegrass. It’s bigger than Nashville.” It was through Charlie that I became acquainted with one of the more active parts of the local bluegrass community. Charlie: “They all get together and pick in Ronnie’s garage every week, on Thursday. Most of the young pickers from around the county just wander in and out. Sorpe nights there are only four or five people there, and other nights you can't hardly stand it, there are so many people.” When Charlie and I drove over to Ronnie's, we reached a large bunch of pickups, parked on the side of the road. We got out of the car and walked along the side of the small yellow house. “You’re gonna meet a lot of ‘good ol boys’ tonight,” Charlie promised me. We curved down the pebbled drive, towards the back of the house. I saw a big white shed with a floodlight up top. "This must be the place,” I thought. When approaching the double sliding shed doors, 1 started to hear some strings tuning up. We entered onto thick, worn wooden floorboards. The first thing that I noticed was a Texaco oil can, on the floor. Small as it was, it was the center of the rough circle of players and listeners. Throughout the night, the guys would spit long caramel colored strings of saliva into the can. When their tobacco was all chewed out, they would spit out the big wads from their cheeks and shovel some more leaf in. Occasionally a cigarette butt would smoke in the can, but it would quickly be extinguished by saliva. The shed had parts and pieces of mechanical devices scattered about. There was an old, beat up refrigerator for the beer, a mini-bike and its guts on the floor, and, everywhere, metal pieces that were unfamiliar to me. The comers of the room were filled with scattered metal objects, making the room more of a circle. All the instruments, that hadn’t been tuned, were tuned to a guy named Ted’s guitar. Ted Kuch was printed on his leather guitar strap that hung around his strong shoulders. He was a heavy set, middle-aged fellow, with an expressive, beef red face and a big belly. With his back to a long board desk, piled with even more junk, beer cans and a bottle of apricot flavored brandy, Ted seemed to be one of the leading players of the evening. He began an introduction to a song on his guitar and then just strummed as the other musicians got settled into the music. Sitting on a stool, he glanced around at some of the other musicians. He gave a satisfied smile to the banjo player on his right, who grinned back by squinting his eyes. This was Ronnie Poe. Ronnie stood, slouching a bit, wearing a faded green Texaco shirt with his name on it. His black banjo strap seemed to fit perfectly into the bend in the back of his neck. He seemed pretty quiet and unemotional, but every now and then he would smile with his brown eyes underneath his sharp dark brow and twist his mouth into a grin. He had slightly wavy, greying black hair, a longish face, and in his left cheek he had a big wad of chewing tobacco. Ronnie: “The picking parties started out some years ago with R.B.’s (fiddle player for the Freestate Ramblers) brother Jack Fraser. He played guitar and he also was a great help to me as far as getting my timing. We used to get together here two or three nights a week and then different musicians would come in. Next thing, we had a whole bunch of pickings. Then we decided that Thursday night was the best night of all because it didn’t interfere with a man’s fami’v Thursday night, there's nothing much going on. Friday night they go get groceries: Wednesday night is choir practice; Monday, choir practice; Tuesday night, the kids or something. Thursday night seemed to be the sweet medium and that's what we used, Thursday night. “Him and I grew from just two on sometimes to twentyfive. We kept it going. Rain or shine or snow, there is always someone in there ,„i picking.” The shed was now swinging. R. B., the fiddler, was leaning toward the center of the circle, playing his heart out. It was as if the music was a fire and everybody was Facing toward the center of :he flame. The music warmed he corners of the room, oehind our backs and spun iround the spittoon in center. I noticed that there were a 'ew young fellows there that :vening. A bright-eyed tall 'ellow with an army cap on olayed the standup bass, and a young dusty blonde picker, introduced to me as Mark, played banjo and mandolin. Both guys were particularly impressive. At times there would be a break in the song, where someone would call out, “Take it, Mark,” and Mark would take the lead. Ronnie: “There’s no contest. Everybody gives. When Mark takes it on mandolin, I back off, because there’s no room for banjo in there. Everybody gets a break. They just get in there and do it. Everybody just backs off and gives them all the rhythm. And nobody is trying to outdo one and another. If Mark can pick a tune better than I can, that’s fine. I’ll give him all the rhythm I can. He’ll do the same by me. “When you get this atmosphere with a bunch of musicians playing, everybody understands one and other, and it doesn’t get to be a contest. Everybody becomes part of the music. That's why I think a lot of them come here. A lot of them aren’t loud singers, but everybody tones down when they sing and they can hear what he's singing. He don’t have to hollar. “A lot of the musician’s who come up here are learning and we don’t mean to put them on the spot. If they can pick, they have the opportunity to get in there and pick. If they don’t nobody’s gonna push them into picking.” People would take turns singing the songs. The lyrics to these songs were simple and direct. They are about simple things, “Don’t pass by me, if you’re only passing through,” and "I’m breaking in a red pair of shoes.’’ Charlie was singing now. Charlie: “I’m basically a singer and a rhythm guitarist, in fact I don't even read music. I am into learning new songs, that’s how I was drawn into it. I would get off on the lyrics. That’s one thing I like about bluegrass, there's a lot of good vocals and a lot of teamwork harmonies.” During the choruses of "Breaking in a Red Pair of Shoes,” Ted, Ronnie, a guitarist named Richard, and a few other players would lean into the center of a small circle and hollar out the lyrics, harmonizing with each other. The song ended with a “whoop” from an observer. Charlie: "A lot of the musicians, they wish that bluegrass would be more popular and it would get more money and all that type of stuff. It’s not a money making thing, and I think that’s good. It may not be good in the sense that you have a lot of musicians living on the edge, but on the other hand, the music doesn’t tend to get polluted. Bluegrass fans are usually fanatics and you’re not playing to please everybody. Everybody’s not doing ‘Country Roads,' or whatever the popular song of the moment is, just to please the broadest spectrum of people they can. Usually a bluegrass fanatic is a bluegrass fanatic and they more or less know or like the style. If it ever got to be different from that, I might begin to feel differently.” Continued next week Direct SS Deposit Saves People in the Culpeper area who receive Social Security checks can easily arrange to have them deposited directly into an account at any financial institution, according to Bruce A.

Mountain People Are The Best Talkers On Earth By LYT WOOD Rappahannock N.-w« Special » rilcr “You wasn’t skeered, was you?” “Hit won’t make no nevermind to me.” I have heard similar phrases many times in the Blue Ridge Mountains. These are examples of nonstandard English, unacceptable in the classroom and strange sounding to many of us. At the same time, the Southern Appalachian manner of speaking is accurate, colorful and—in a sense—proper. “The worst you can say about it is that it’s antique," said Wylene Dial. Mrs. Dial was our lecturer at Davis and Elkins College for part of the Augusta Heritage Arts Workshop. Her lecture was a fascinating overview of the origins of Appalachian dialects and cultural traits. A long time resident of West Virginia mountain country, Mrs. Dial is a former schoolteacher and 4-H Agent, now employed by the West Virginia University. “Appalachian speech did not originate here," she told us. “Our people are talkirv, the way they knew how to talk when they came here in the time of the settlements. Just about every., piece you can find of so-called bad grammar turns out to be perfectly acceptable Elizabethan grammar." She cited George Washington as an example that brought things close to home for me. “Our only resident lord was Lord Fairfax,” she said. “Some of his kinfolk ran his estate here in this country. George Washington married one of his girls. He (Washington) felt comfortable with these people." In short, the man who surveyed Rappahannock’s county seat was ambitious and well respected in his time. Yet his speech would sound strange to us. He used such phrases as "I was driven by as triflin’ a bunch of men...” and “Yesterday I went a-hunting and catched a fox.” Archaic phrases are rife in contemporary Appalachian language for one simple reason: topography. 'In the plainest terms, they were isolated," said Mrs. Dial, referring to the early mountain settlers. Deep in the West Virginia mountains, the evolution of language is "generations behind other areas. It's not because we’re dumb. It’s purely and simply the geography and the tradition.” As an analogy, she asked us to imagine ourselves on a space mission to establish a colony on a distant planet. 200 years later, if Earth were to send additional colonists, the newcomers would say, "My, don't they talk funny." The newcomers to West Virginia in the 1600’s “did not come over the mountains, they came behind them,” Mrs. Dial explained. ScotchIrish and Germans (the latter often erroneously called "Dutch" in the records) "did not cross the Blue Ridge, but slipped behind them” from the north. These people comprised the majority of early mountain inhabitants. In addition, there were some French, Dutch, and “Irish Irish". There were very few English and blacks, contrary to some historical texts. Inconsistencies between Appalachian and modern standard English can be in the form of what outsiders might call "made-up words,” “mispronunciations,” and "rotten grammar.” “This is not standard English," Mrs. Dial repeatedly pointed out, "but what you hear are the old traditional forms.” To the speakers, their words are good words, and their pronunciation and grammar are proper and acceptable. “Made-up Words” A "side of folks" (meaning “Lots of people”) and “to bath the baby" are common Appalachian phrases. They are also perfectly proper Old English words. Even today, said Mrs. Dial, in England if you take a bath, you "bath.” If you “bathe", that means you're going swimming. Chaucer, ca. 1350, would have said something like "put your pigs in a poke.” “Fixen” was a Scotch word for ‘‘she-fox" (vixen). A “skit” or “dominicher” of snow are Scotch ways of saying "a little snow." (Dominicher was a breed of chickens with speckles of white feathers.) “Ferments" was another Scottish word, meaning “across” or “opposite from". “People don't recognize these words because they haven’t heard them," said Mrs. Dial. “ Mispron uncial ion ” There's a long list of words that outsiders are familiar with, but Appalachian folks pronounce very differently. One of the most common archaic pronunciations is "hit." In the Blue Ridge foothills, as well as West Virginia, it’s not unusual to hear something like "Hit don’t pleasure me and hit don't pain me.” “Hit” is a perfectly good word, Mrs. Dial told us. In Old English, “hit” was the third person singular neuter pronoun. The Scots used "hit” for emphasis. Another common pronunciation is "et”, traceable to early English. According to our lecturer, even Queen Elizabeth II would say "I et dinner early." “She spells it A-T-E,” said Mrs. Dial, “as I’m sure our people do." Scotch pronunciations are frequent. "Boosh" for bush, “feesh" for fish, "whar” for where, and "narrow” rhyming with "tomorrow" are all holdovers from the Scots. Chaucer would have said "fence postes" and "bird nestes." "Jonee" and "Noee,” the Biblical characters, were called those names in Shakespeare’s time. Queen Elizabeth I would have said "He was pizened" or “I jined the club”, just as the mountain folk say today. "It was very courtly language," Mrs. Dial said. ‘Rotten Grammar” modern schoolteacher REALTY WORLD • . Jl. Estate *y RCAITOI REALISM IN PRICING Be realistic when you put a price on your home. It can make the difference between a quick sale and weeks or even months of waiting. We have a saying in the real estate business, a slogan that real estate brokers and salespeople keep in mind all the time: “A home priced right is a home half sold." Many factors enter into the pricing of a home. Besides the obvious physical attributes — size, type, number of rooms, lot, etc., there’s always the matter of location and that elusive, but allimportant concept called "the market.” The market can either favor the buyer or the seller. A demand for homes caused by, say, industrial expansion, can make it a seller's market. If mortgage money becomes scarce or if the number of homes for sale is excessive, the market may favor the buyer. The key to fair home pricing is to constantly monitor and analyze the market. We do this on a day-to-day basis to make sure the price on your home is the right one—the SELLING one!

We’re here to help. would cringe if she heard a pupil say, “You wasn’t here.” This is common usage in many rural areas today. Mrs. Dial noted that prior to the 1800’s, “you was” was a proper phrase—if the speaker was addressing only one person. “You were,” a more familiar phrase to modern speakers, precisely identified the addressees as being two or more in number. And that anathema in the modern classroom. the double negative, was proper Shakespearean. “It was not till the 1700’s,” said Mrs. Dial, “that people decided it was bad to use double negatives." To say “Hit don’t make no difference” really doesn’t make any difference to the mountain folks. Our lecturer was deeply appreciative and respectful of Appalachia’s language heritage. “1 truly, sincerely believe that our people are the very best talkers God put on earth—I do believe it,” she said. “Our people use the language with a great deal of precision, with color, and they use phrases back to back—and don’t think anything of them—that an author from outside the area would sit and preen his or her feathers for a day or two if they got off just one.” "Our people are a verile, red-blooded people,” she concluded, “and colorful phraseology was just bred in the bones of them," Halloween Activities Ghosts and goblins are due to appear on county highways and doorsteps this weekend, and Rappahannock County Sheriff W. A. Buntin has some pointers for safe trickor-treating. “We encourage children to call on familiar homes in their own neighborhoods,” Buntin said. "Many parents just drop their children off in town.” Although Buntin said he didn’t think that Rappahannock children had anything to fear from county residents as far as tampering with or poisoning Halloween treats, he urged parents to be careful. “You never known when someone could take off on the publicity given the recent Tylenol poisonings," he said. Buntin also suggested that children be dressed in light colored clothing so that motorists can see them and that costumes be arranged so that children can see. He recommended that parents impose an age limit on trickor-treating. Parents and children looking for safe local Halloween entertainment have their choice of many local events this weekend: Members and their friends of the Sperryville United Methodist Church Sunday School are invited to a Halloween party at the church on Sunday evening. October 31, trom 6 to 7 o’clock. A Halloween party for the senior and junior members of the Chester Gap Volunteer Fire Department will be held at the fire hall from 8:00 to 10:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 30. The Washington Baptist Church is having a Halloween party for the community Sunday night from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the church. There will be refreshments and Christian films shown for children 12 and under. Everyone is welcome to join the party, and to participate in the U.N.I.C.E.F. collection afterward. The Rappahannock Elementary School Seventh Grade will have a fun fair On Saturday, October 30. front 10:00 a.m. - 5 p.m. There will be games, a fun house, a cake walk, a pumpkincarving contest, an afghan raffle and a costume contest. Eileen Day, Realtor, is sponsoring a pumpkincarving contest for the third year. The contest will be held at the Clopton House, Saturday, October 30, at 2:30 p.m. In addition to the pumpkin-carving, there will be a costume contest, prizes, and treats for all. Recycling Resumes Reynolds Aluminum Recycling Company this week announced that its recycling station in Culpeper will be open from noon until 1:30 p.m. on Saturdays through the end of December. Reynolds will purchase allaluminum beverage cans and other properly repaired recyclable aluminum products directly from consumers at the site, located at Southgate Shopping Center. In addition, the recycling station at the Northern Opinion (Continued from Page 1) Chief Executive Baumgardner proceeded on his own. The reply from Baliles notes that the Attorney General’s office has consistently held that school boards are political subdivisions and the superintendents are their chief executive officers for purposes of the Freedom of Information Act (FOI). "Therefore, if the reports were held by the superintendent, they would be exempt from mandatory disclosure. This exemption, however, does not apply to similar records held by the school board and once the superintendent disseminates records held by him to the school board those records lose the exemption..." Baliles wrote. The Attorney General went on to note that if the draft architectural reports and analysis were prepared exlusively for an exectuive meeting which was lawfully held, then they would be exempt "unless subsequent actions were taken which caused them to lose their exemption." He noted that Baumgardner had reported that the school board discussed the reports in open session in addition to the Polls (Continued from Page 1) the Chester Gap-Huntly area where the polling was done by News staffers.) Numbers were selected at random from the telephone directory. Responses from registered voters only were tallied. The Amissville area was typical of the county as a whole. Only 35 percent of the persons actually called were both registered voters and willing to cooperate in the poll. A staggering 40 percent replied that they weren’t registered and 21 percent insisted that their political preferences weren’t anyone else’s business. In the final pre-election poll conducted by the Rappahanock News, respondents equaled over two percent of the county’s registered voters. discussion in executive session. "If the essence of the report was discussed by the public body in open session, I am of the opinion that the reports lost the privileged protection provided in the e x e m p t io n ... T o hold otherwise would allow any report prepared by a public body to be exempt from the mandatory disclosure...as long as it was purportedly prepared for executive session. Such a result would be contrary to the purpose of the Act,” Baliles stated. He advised that it becomes a factual determination whether the board’s public discussion has so revealed the essence of the report's content that the report has, by reason of the public discussion, become a part ot the public domain. Accordingly, the Attorney General concluded that the draft architectural reports and analysis would not be exempt trom mandatory disclosure if the essence of their substance and contents were the subject of discussion in open meeting, even though they may have been initially prepared exclusively for use in executive session. Under authorization from publisher Arthur W. Arundel, the Rappahannock News is pursuing resolution of the Freedom of Information issue raised by the school board’s refusal to release the requested documents through appropriate legal channels. Park (Continued from Page 1) At the open house here on November 18, park representatives will answer questions on the draft management and development plan and discuss mutual interests with local people concerned with the future of the park. “The public review period closes December 20. National Park Service planning team officials hope that the park's users, neighbors and friends will carefully review this draft plan and offer suggestions and improvements,” Jacobsen said. Virginia Shopping Center in Warrenton will also be open on Saturdays, October through December, 9:3011:30 a. m. Besides all-aluminum beverage cans and other clean household aluminum products such as pie plates, foil, frozen food and dinner trays and dip, pudding and meat containers, Reynolds purchases other miscellaneous aluminum such as siding, gutters, storm door and window frames, and lawn furniture tubing. ' Library Hosts Color Artist On Thursday evening, November 11, at 7:30 p.m.. The Rappahannock County Library will present Joy Luke, local artist and nationally recognized expert in the field of color. As advisor to the Smithsonian Institute, private industry and government. Joy has written articles and delivered lectures on colo'r and artists' materials for professional journals and publications. In her demonstration at the library, Mrs. Luke will bring magic to the properties of color and the ways in which it is seen. She will focus on those properties oi color which show that the eyes may lie. vision may be invisable and the brain may record images not actually seen. Psychological and physiological effects of colot r Built 1056 Dedicated 1963 are being explored today bv many industries but since individuals all see and use color in their daily lives, the technological aspects of color are not of conscious concern. In her demonstration. Mrs. Luke therefore directs her attention to illumination and its effect on color and on perception of color. The upcoming program may be difficult to describe verbally but all aspects are readily demonstrated through projective techniques which have been refined by the artist. Sursum Corda Serves Fall Suppers The public is being presented with an opportunity to sample local food creations, enjoy the hospitality of Rappahannock residents throughout the county and to help Sursum Corda meet its 1982-83 operating needs.

Check SS Records People who work in employment covered by Social Security should check their Social Security record every 3 years or so, according to Bruce A. Hundley, Social Security manager in Culpeper. This is especially important if the person changes jobs often or has more than one job. A post-card form is available at any Social Security office for a person to request a statement of the earnings reported to his or her record. Once a person receives a statement of earnings, he or she should examine it carefully to make sure that the proper amount of earnings has been reported to Social Security. If the person's own records do not agree with the amounts shown on the statement, he or she should contact a Social Security office right awav. This is important because most corrections to an earnings record must be reported within 3 years. 3 months, and 15 days after the end of the year the earnings were paid or the selfemployment income was derived. The person should bring his or her own records of the earnings that are available so that an investigation can be made. The " Soerryville Corner Store t will be under new ownership Starting November 2,1982 I WISH TO THANK ALL OUR FRIENDS AND CUSTOMERS FOR YOUR BUSINESS DURING THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF. BUD WERNER Lindsay G. Dorrier, Jr. speaks out on the economy: “Despite the promises of the past two years, the U.S. economy is in worse shape now, than at any time since the Great Depression. Unemployment is up, mortgage rates are up and full economic recovery is not waiting around the corner.” On Unemployment: “Unemployment now stands at 10.1 percent. 11.3 million people are out of work and as many as 30 million are feeling the bite of unemployment. Steps must be taken by the federal government to train and place the nation’s unemployed.” On Fiscal Responsibility: “The votes cast by my opponent on the president’s three-year tax cut, the 1983 budget, the tax increase package and the Balanced Budget Amendment, have placed him on a list of ‘Balanced Budget Amendment Phonies.’ This type of fiscal irresponsibility should not be allowed to continue.” On Mortgage Rates: “Recent surges on Wall Street have pushed the prime lending rate down to around 12 percent, but this has yet to have an impact on mortgage rates or other consumer lending rates. If there is to be a full recovery of the economy, all long-term interest rates must come down. On The Housing Stimulus Bill: “Last summer, Congress approved a housing stimulus program, designed to pour 5 billion dollars into the housing industry, through mortgage loans to low- and moderate-income homebuyers. The bill was vetoed, and Congress failed to override the veto by a 17vote margin. My opponent voted against the override, and against the housing industry ."

He was picked by his fellow Democrats because of his business and financial experience, the kind of experience that Virginia and the nation desperately need in the Senate during the current economic crisis. In 1974, Davis was elected mayor of Portsmouth, a city with a $3 million deficit. Four years later, when he left office after having been re-elected without opposition in 1976. that city had $3 million in unappropriated funds. He can apply the same discipline he learned in local government and as a banker and director of corporations to the federal budget. But Davis will bring more than just g<)od business sense to Washington. He will bring integrity. At a time when most Democrats followed the Byrd machine's lead, Davis stood with the few in opposition to the policy of massive resistance to segregation. He stood with the few in supporting the Voting Rights Act. He was a non-Byrd Democrat, a rare breed in the Commonwealth. Still fighting against discrimination, he supports passage of the Equal Rights Amendment. Davis also endorses Virginia’s right-to-work law and has pledged to guarantee a sound and secure Social Security system. Aware of the horrors of nuclear war, he wants more than a nuclear freeze. The Democratic candidate endorses a reduction of nuclear arms with the conditions that reductions be mutual and verifiable and leave the United States still capable of deterring any nuclear attack. Davis took over the chairmanship of the state's stumbling Democratic Party in 1978 and helped orchestrate the recovery that sent Charles Robb to the Governor’s mansion with Portsmouth’s ex-mayor as his lieutenant. At 61, Richard Davis is older than most first-time Senate hopefuls but he has shown the leadership, financial expertise and dedication to principles that we need in Washington. For Dorrier • • • I hroughout this election campaign, voter attention has been focused primarily on economic issues. A far more serious threat to the well-being of America’s people lies in the continuing degredation of our air, water and land. Lindsay Dorrier’s position on environmental questions has demonstrated his belief that sacrificing our environment and natural resources is not the path to follow to a strong economy. The Democratic candidate for the Tth District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives would vote to halt the Reagan administration’s movement to reduce regulation and weaken environmental protection measures. Dorrier supports the maintenance and enforcement of existing legislation with penalties levied on a regular basis for non-compliance to prove to polluters that the government means business. He endorses a partnership between federal, state and local governments to handle environmental problems with state and local governments given maximum discretion to preserve land, water and air quality through zoning laws. Dorrier believes that nuclear power must be stringently controlled and to that end would give the Nuclear Regulatory Commission greater authority to regulate the nuclear power industry and adequate staff to do the job properly. He supports the maintenance and preservation of lands now designated as wilderness areas and parklands to hold them in trust for future generations. He opposes the exploration for oil and natural gas in these areas, activity that would result in the ultimate destruction of parks and wilderness. Dorrier has come out strongly for an indefinite moratorium on uranium mining in Virginia until reliable safeguards for mining, processing and transportation can be developed. The Democratic candidate has taken stands which we endorse on other major issues: against tuitibn tax credits, aginst school prayed, for passage of the Equal Rights Amendment, for extension of unemployment benefits, against a cap on food stamps and for stringent enforcement of fair housing regulations. We urge Rappahannock voters to help elect Lindsay Dorrier on November 2. Cheap Thrills ' mr scary siory coniesi Drougnt a lot of interest and response from Rappahannock County schoolchildren. We were pleased at this, because we had conceived the idea as a chance for youngsters to show off and polish thfir writing skills. There were no prizes, just the possibility of having original work published. As our office staff and general manager carefully read and evaluated each story, we each had the nagging thought that something was wrong. We were individually amazed at the amount of graphic mutilation, murder and physical brutality described in the children s stories. Perhaps we asked for this kind of horror when we requested the scariest stories children could create. W hat we had in mind was the suspense and skillful drama of an Edgar Allen Poe or an Alfred Hitchcock. W hat we received, for the most part, was the blood and guts of a Halloween or Friday the 13th. popular movies that enjoy huge sales, especially at this time of year. It takes timing, patience, discipline and highly-developed writing skills to create enough suspense to engender fear in a reader. All it takes to string together enough bloody scenes lor a story is constant exposure to this form of entertainment. Lee Nettles. Director of the Rappahannock Mental Health Clinic, said that expressions of violence do not necessarily indicate a violent nature in children. “They’re just exposed to this all the time," he said. “Modern movies and t.v. are calculated to shock your sensibilities by horrifying you with graphic detail. This is more symptomatic of our culture than a cause for alarm." Nettles added. however, that brutality and graphic violence in our culture are not positive. “I would certainly not recommend them from a standpoint of encouraging mental health,” he said. Nettles said that studies show that youngsters exposed to constant violent and bloody scenes start to identify with violence and brutality. Perhaps parents feel that their children are able to distinguish well enough between fantasy and reality to escape the effects of graphic horror. Perhaps they think that exposure to violence is so commonplace that it will have no impact. After reading more than one hundred scary stories, we have our doubts. Our Rappahannock Heritage Trouble In Scrabble, Va. By KUCKINK MH.ARTH) Kap|inhanmK-k Y-w- <.iict < ..(urmii.i As a rule one should never go to the aid of a columnist in distress. Columnists in trouble should be left, at least, for a few weeks, “turning slowly in the wind,” the treatment recommended for his enemies by Richard Nixon or one of his aides. I am breaking this rule in the case of columnist James, locally known as “Jack,” Kilpatrick of Scrabble, Virginia. Jack, as we all know in Rappahannock County, is a noted columnist, commentator, speaker, and writer. He has been an editor. The range of his interests and of his knowledge is extensive. In the course of one week’s work, he has been known to give near absolute judgments on problems ranging from how to settle the continuing crisis in the Middle East, (one that has been in progress for approximately 4000 years); and the problem of Northern Ireland, which is itself about 70 years old but is a part of a conflict of much longer duration, approximately the 1000 years of British interference in the affairs of the Irish; to advise the President on how to control inflation and insure,. Republican Congressional election victories. Jack's knowledge is not limited to the world of politics, economics, and social reform. He is an expert also in the realm of nature. He can read storms and seasons. He knows how the moon runs among the branchings of the sun. He can teach weather lore, and the ways of the wild things. Whereas he is generally sympathetic and humanely disposed to nature's creatures, even those that do harm to his garden and shrubs, he can be hard. He draws the line at groundhogs. If Jack had been consulted in the formulation of the curse put on Adam for his sin. he would surely have suggested, possibly insisted, that to the punishment of the “thorns and thistles" the groundhog should have been added. Jack has been brought low. If the written word could speak or cry out, there would be crying in the wind in the area adjacent to the Kilpatrick demesne, “White Oak”, near Scrabble. Jack has been brought so low that he is asking the editors of the 450 papers that print his column for help. The profundity of his act of humility can be measured only if one understands that help from editors is the last thing a columnist will accept. In fact the redeeming grace, the distinguishing mark, of a columnist is that he has passed over into that happy state in which he is not subject to editorial review or judgment, either approving or disapproving. Moreover, having been an editor. Jack Kilpatrick, knows how serious it is to ask an editor to stand up from his editor’s chiar, to come out from behind his editor's desk, to put aside the protection of editorial anonymity, and to speak or *rite without the covering defense that the views do not" necessarily reflect the opinion of the editors." What could have brought on this moment of truth? It was a skunk, a female skunk, according to Jack’s observation. This female skunk, called Rosebud, has established herself under the Kilpatrick guest cottage and Jack does not know how to get rid of her. Jack, he admits, has not tried every possible means. Columnists do not have to be pragmatic. They can figure things out through pure speculation. And he has given consideration to riddance methods, ranging from the most violent and primit ive means of destruction in keeping with a recommendation in“a poem by Yeats for “a bloody and a sudden end” “gunshot, or noose." to more subtle forms of capital punishment, ■ originally supported by I liberal executioners—the < guillotine, operating on the principle of gravitational pull, therefore requiring no commensurate exercise of human strength on the part of the executioner: and poison gas, released by the body heat of the victim. He has even considered inhumane means, either starvation or suffocation by blocking the escape hole with cement blocks. The more subtle methods of persuasion and of psychology, .have not been over-looked. Modestly Jack has suggested that his gardener-caretaker undertake this mission. Although I have long honored the rule not to tread where angles, editors, and columnists fear to tread, and have hesitated to enter some places where the above mentioned do not fear to ire:i, the desperation of Jack's call for help has moved me to make one suggestion to him. a suggestion based on boyhood experience on a Minnesota farm long ago. The whole process was called ‘'twisting a skunk.” The instrument, a ball of barbed wire, attached to heavier smooth wire, with a handle (a kind of proto-type of the modern roto-rooter.) The tedhnique was to insert the ball end of the instrument into the skunk's den and then slowly rotate it, by twisting at the far end of the wire handle, untilt he operator sensed, by smell or touch some engagement of the barbed wire and the skunk. The compelling principle being that a skunk under challenge or stress will turn tail, but not run from whatever threatens it, confronts or con-backs it) Functionally, then the skunk's tail becomes involved in the ball of barbed wire. When fully engaged, that is, he tail, the skunk, with its ail immobilized in the wire .■ntanglement. was slowly Irawn from the hole, and hen disposed of humanely or itherwise. Whereas. as every X'lumnist knows, and most tave said, in need of a netaphor, a tail wagging a log is an undesirable elationship; a tail wagging a kunk is the best one can • ope for under the cirumstances. Letters To The Editor Oh Those Video Gaines To the editor: I would like to respond to the letter submitted to your paper by Mary Jane McCarthy and Diane Wood. These two cohorts of mine at the elementary school wrote disparagingly of video games and, frankly, I couldn't agree with them more. Their point that time spent plugging quarters into video games is time kept from doing more important activities (such as reading) was well taken. By way of example, I would like to illustrate how enormously important it is to stay away from those dastardly machines. Few people know this, but the U-2 pilots of the sixties were trained on machines very much like the video games of today. Anyone who has flown a fighter jet or seen the movie Star Wars can see the easy applicability. So anyway, my Uncle Bob was a U-2 pilot of the sixties. Uncle Bob didn't work as hard on his video machines as his superiors would have liked. In fact, his superiors became quite distressed over how little time he spent on the machines. And so, it was no surprise to them that he was shot down over Russia in May, 1%1. Uncle Bob was not injured by this event, and the Russians were quite happy to sentence him to life imprisonment. While in prison. Uncle Bob was given the book War and Peace to use as a pillow. Well, Uncle Bob took that book and read it—something he had never done before. And as the years passed, reading became his passion. Even now, as he writes to me from upper Siberia, west side, he tells me of his overpowering love for books. And do you know what he attributes this to? Staying away from those darn video machines. MICHAEL A. CONNIFEY Sperryville Schools Criticized To the editor. After trading the editorial written by Mr. Eugene McCarthy, “In Defense of Rappahannock County", I feel the need to reply. First of all. I’ve lived in Sperryville for four years, and I do not feel this county has to be defended by anyone! It does need to be helped, however, by the sincere efforts of the newly positioned 1 educators and parents to bring what is now one of the wont, if not the wont, school system in the state of Virginia up to at least a level of average educational standards. It seems ironic to me how so many educated, influential people who reside in Rappahannock. such as Mr. McCarthy and Mr. J. Kilpatrick, can allow the greatest need of the children, a decent education, to go unnoticed. Perhaps if self-sacrifice would reign in Rappahannock rather than selfrecognition, we’d have a better school system, a better town—consequently a better county. THELMA EARLS MUNDY - From Both BarrelsThe Races For Congress By GEORGE BOWLES Virginia’s congressional races will be very much in the national spotlight on election night. Political observers will be eyeing the Old Dominion’s returns closely to see if there is any substantial degree of erosion of support for the President's policies in this, one of the most conservative of states. The Democrats are in something of a bittersweet position. With nine of Virginia's 10 Congressional districts in GOP hands, and with the lone Democratic seat uncontested, they are not threatened with the possibility of additional losses. Further, they feel reasonably confident of at least a few gains. Any Democratic inroads at all would be viewed as an ominous development by Reagan Administration political pulse-takers. The Tidewater’s First District seat is open. It was vacated by Republican Congressman Paul Trible so he could make his Senate bid. aen. Herbert Bateman ot Newport News, the Republican nominee, is generally regarded as leading Democratic candidate John McGlennon of Williamsburg. Mr. McGlennon's chances may be further dimmed by a write-in effort launched by several black leaders in behalf of Jessie Rattley of Newport News. Ms. Rattley, a vice chair of the state Democratic party, says she is not encouraging the write-in campaign and will support all Democratic candidates. In any event, as this is written 10 days before the election, it appears likely the district will remain in the Republican column. Second District incumbent Republican William Whitehurst is unopposed for reelection. In the Third District, incumbent Republican Tom Bliley is meeting an unexpectedly strong challenge from Democrat John Waldrop, a member of the Henrico County Board of Supervisors. Mr. Waldrop is waging an energetic campaign, but is being badly outspent by the conservative Bliley in one of the most conservative districts in the state. Observers in the district believe Mr. Bliley will be reelected. In the Fourth District the Democrats have one of their best opportunities to unseat an incumbent. Republican Robert Daniel is under heavy and well-financed attack by Democrat Norman Sisisky, a Petersburg business executive. The race can be considered highly competitive, with the Democrats having at least an even chance of picking up the District. Fifth District Democrat Dan Daniel is without opposition in his bid for reelection. The Sixth is another open district and, like the Fourth, it presents the Democrats with an unusual opportunity. Del. Kevin Miller of Harrisonburg is the GOP nominee to succeed retiring incumbent Republican Caldwell Butler. Mr. Miller is being strongly opposed by industrialist James Olin of Roanoke Both campaigns are well-Financed, and the popular Olin is regarded as a possible winner in this strongly Republican District. A serious split has developed in the local GOP as a result of the district convention’s choice of the conservative Miller over state Sen. Ray Garland of Roanoke, a party moderate. Mr. Miller is maid to be receiving less-thanenthusiastic support from many Garland partisans. A third candidate in the race, Independent Robert Fariss of Roanoke, is not expected to be a factor in the outcome. in me jevenm lmmuci, Democrat Lindsay Dorrier of Scottsville is waging an energetic but financially strapped campaign to unseat incumbent Republican J. Kenneth Robinson of Winchester, the odds-on favorite to win. Mr. Dorrier's task is complicated further by the presence in the race of a third candidate. Citizens’ party nominee David Toscano of Charlottesville. Mr. Toscano is expected to drain off a substantial number of normally Democratic votes, especially in the Charlottesville area. There is also a three-way contest in the Eighth District which, for the Democrats, could be a much more serious matter. Former Congressman Herbert Harris of Fairfax is mounting a major drive to recapture the seat taken from him two years ago by incumbent Republican Stanford Parris. Polls seem to indicate Mr. Harris is leading Mr. Parris, but the third candidate, liberal independent Austin Morrill of Lorton, is expected to deprive Mr. Harris of many critically needed votes. In spite of this, Mr. Harris is considered to have an excellent chance of regaining his seat, although Mr. Morrill could garner enough normally Democratic votes to throw the election to Parris. Incumbent Republican William Wampler in the Ninth District is receiving his toughest challenge to date from state Sen. Rick Boucher of Abingdon. Although Wampler is seen as ahead in the race, observers do not rule out an upset as the campaign draws to a close. There is yet another three-way race in the Tenth District. Incumbent Republican Frank Wolf of Vienna appears marginally ahead of Democrat Ira Lechner of Arlington. The third man in this race, however, is independent Scott Bow-din. a conservative who may take votes from Mr. Wolf. Nevertheless, the GOP is expected to retain the seat. Thus it appears that the Democrats have an excellent chance of picking up two districts, a possibility of gaining three, and an outside shot at four. While any losses at all would be seen as a serious setback by Republicans at both the state and national levels, the recapture of three or four districts by the Democrats would amount to an electoral calamity. It would set Republican alarm bells ringing from the sunny climes of California to the rock-bound coasts of Maine.

Ir' Campaign *82—The Senate Race Robinson Remains True To Reaganomics Policy By VAL V AN METER Arundel New»paper« Writer Although he has voted against the President on occasion, six-term Republican Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson is still supporting Reaganomics as he seeks re-election in the Seventh Virginia Congressional District. In a recent press conference, Mr. Robinson, 66, urged the public to give the President's policies more time to work, and predicted an upswing in the national economy by the second quarter of 1983. Addressing the double digit national unemployment rate, 10.1 percent, the highest since 1940, Mr. Robinson insisted that "the things that are being done have not had a full opportunity to work.” Mr. Robinson said the Republican administration had to battle inflation, high interest rates, government spending and over-regulation in order to get at the causes of recession, and unemployment. He compared Virginia’s unemployment rate of 7.3 percent favorably with the national rate, and insisted that the Seventh District was not doing too badly, when viewed over all. He noted that the Charlottesville area carried a 3 percent unemployed population, but appeared surprised that his home town of Winchester and Frederick County had an unadjusted August rate of 14.1 percent. Mr. Robinson said there is no way to get unemployment down when huge federal deficits continue. The answer, says Mr. Robinson, is to do what the President has suggested and cut down on entitlement programs which just “grew and grew and grew,” to “reduce uncontrolable spending.” The Congressm an reiterated his stand that programs like food stamps ‘‘require adjustment” to make sure that "nobody but the needy” would benefit. Asked if he would support changes proposed by the Federal Food and Nutrition program to redefine age limits for food stamps, including a proposal to raise the definition of elderly from 60 to 65 years, Mr. Robinson said Congress would not be cancelling out everybody in the age group by changing the law. "It’s simply not going to happen.” he said. Mr. Robinson appeared to back away from his previously announced warnings against taking what he called a meat-axe to the defense budget when he predicted that military spending would face additional cuts in Congress in December. However, the J. KENNETH ROBINSON Republican Congressman made it clear he felt the Administration had done its part by removing billions from the defense budget before passing it on to the legislative arm of the government. “I can see the handwriting on the wall,” Mr. Robinson said, that the defense budget would not be immune from further cutting and those cuts would have to come from personnel, operations and maintenance, he insisted. “You have to go where you can get the biggest bang for the buck,” Mr. Robinson said, in order to make cuts pay off. He said cutting weapons systems procurement meant a savings of less than 25 percent in the current budget because the costs were spread out over several years. "If the cuts are going to affect the current year’s budget, they have to come out of things where all of the cash is laid on the line immediately.” That, says Mr. Robinson, means personnel cuts. 1 predicted Congress would go for reductions in strength to reduce the cost of the military by reducing its size. However, he said there would be no roll back on the wage scale. “We’ve just gotten it up to where it’s competitive now.” Speaking in Charlottesville, Mr. Robinson made a point that much of the Seventh District benefits from the military budget, to the tune of more than $100 million in jobs. Asked what he has done to promote more jobs in his district, Mr. Robinson cited two bills recently approved by Congress. While what the Congressman described as a “make work jobs proposal with a $6 million price tag," was defeated, he said a $1 million training course, to provide retraining for people whose jobs have disappeared, won his endorsement. "Some jobs are gone for good. It’s unfortunate, but it’s true,” Mr. Robinson said. He said the other bill, a CETA type program, was “not the wav to go,” because its effects were only temporary. ‘‘The building industry leads us into and out of recession,” Mr. Robinson stated, and that was why he supported a revision in the finance laws which will “give savings and loans a shot in the arm and get them back in business.” Mr. Robinson said the legislation will make more money available for homebuilding at reasonable rates. He previously had insisted that the depressed construction industry was responsible for the “largest chunk of unemployment in Virginia.” Mr. Robinson’s mood about the economy was quietly optimistic, though, and he insisted the worst was over. Citing meetings with his Seventh District Economic Ad/isory Committee, which, he said, draws its membership from the largest employers in the district, Mr. Robinson said the mood of businessmen has changed. “These hardheaded businessmen have been (Continued on Page 9) A New Working Leadership Dorrier’s Campaign Slogan By DOUG GARDINER Arundrl NrwRptprn Writer Federal price support programs that aid millions of Americans each year are harmful and even disastrous to many others and are extremely wasteful, says Lindsay G. Dorrier, Democratic contender for the Seventh District Congressional seat, who wants to see them scrutinized much more carefully. But the 39-year-old Albemarle County commonwealth’s attorney who is intent on unseating six-term incumbent J. Kenneth Robinson does not want to force undue hardship on farmers and others who now benefit from subsidy programs. Instead, he says. Congress should concentrate on improving the marketing of domestic goods abroad, especially those produced by America’s farmers. “(Price supports) have long been used by the government to keep the price of agricultural goods artificially high,” he says. “By forcing nr ■***'* wwwww wwxwwwxirwinnnnnr 'WA Amendments On Ballot +++++ wwkkkk wwwwwwwwwTxww www ww w wwlrw1HriMrifirlMrw'nir'tr1rTrw1fww1r1Hf't 1 Virginia voters, aside from electing candidates for public office on Nov. 2, will be deciding on three proposed amendments to the Virginia Constitution. Two of the amendments do not appear to be controversial, but a third—which would allow the General Assembly to limit the introduction of legislation in short legislative sessions—has drawn opposition from two Loudoun legislators. The amendment would allow the legislature, by approving a resolution, to restrict the introduction of bills in 30-day legislative sessions, which are held in odd-numbered years (the assembly meets for 60 days in even-numbered years). The proposal, which has been approved by both the House of Delegates and the Virginia Senate in two consecutive sessions, is meant to curtail the increasing amount of legislation introduced in the 30-day sessions, according to state Sen. Howard P. Anderson (D-Halifax), who sponsored the amendment in the Senate. Anderson said in an interview Monday that the intent of the state Constitution, adopted in 1971, was to restrict the 30-day sessions to state budget amendments and to emergency legislative matters. But he said the intent “was not being carried out.” “As it is, you know, we^i have never held it to 30^ days,” he said, estimating^ that the average short session^ has lasted 47 days. “We’ve-|i almost had as much-fi legislation introduced in so--ii called short sessions as we-|i have in the long sessions.” ♦ In Anderson’s view, the-!1 amendment would help limit legislation in the short‘d1 sessions, thereby allowing the^ legislature to improve the"^1 quality of its legislation, toj save money, and to prevent Virginia from eventually'J needing a full-time state legislature.

DORRIER Democrat UP mese suosiaies nave reduced competition and forced many small farmers out of business, while increasing the cost of those products to the consumer.” “It makes no sense for the government to subsidize, stockpile, and eventually give the product away or destroy it,” he says of the practice that costs taxpayers billions annually. “America is the breadbasket of the world and if farmers are producing too much for domestic consumption we need better marketing abroad.” A recent visitor to China, the newcomer to national politics says people there crave American-made products but have a difficult time nnaing tnem. A reduction in government red tape required of exporters would do much to lower the cost of selling on the world market and would improve the flow of domestic goods to other countries, he says. This view of the nation and how it should improve economic ties with the world represents but one side of the man whose campaign slogan is a “new, working leadership" for America. Asked of his chances of defeating the 66-year-old Robinson and having an opportunity to test his new leadership. Mr. Dorrier terms them “excellent.” “There’s a lot of dissatisfaction among voters in the 7th district," he says, criticizing the incumbent for his voting record, his history of sponsoring few bills and his lack of leadership. Speaking of himself, Mr. Dorrier says he has lived most of his life in the rural climate and, as a former Albemarle County supervisor, says he knows of the many problems and concerns of 7th district constituents. That background, combined with his experience in law and prosecution, gives him a comprehensive knowledge he says few in Congress have and he feels would be very beneficial to a U.S. representative. Staunch Supporter (Jt Republican Policies By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON K«|»|»ahannork Nn*» Staff I Htrr Raymond R. “Andy” Guest, 11-year veteran of the Virginia House of Delegates, is unopposed in the November elections but he’s busy politickin' none-the-less, keeping a full schedule of campaign appearances on behalf of other Republican candidates. “1 can’t remember whether I’m here speaking for J. Kenneth Robinson, Paul Trible or Andy Guest,” joked the Front Royal farmer and businessman while speaking in Winchester last week. Unlike many Republican candidates who have attempted to put distance between themselves and the Reagan administration after the recent announcement of double digit unemployment. Guest has allied himself with Reaganomics through his l close association with Robinson and Trible, both staunch supporters of the president. For the sixth time. Guest is serving as Robinson’s campaign chairman in the race for the 7th District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. In addition, he hosted a farm family picnic two weeks ago at his home on behalf of both Robinson and Trible, Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate. “If I had indigestion, I might have to take cod liver oil. I might not like the taste but I’d look forward to the results. Our economy is in much the same state.’’ Guest says. “Excesses of the past have caused indigestion and Reaganomics is now the bitter medicine we all have to swallow but it is the program for our future economic well being,’’ maintains the delegate who majored in economics at Yale University. Although he’s unopposed in the election for delegate from the new 31st legislative district (Clarke, Warren and Rappahannock counties; Leeds, Marshall, Waterloo and Remington precincts in Fauquier; Rixeyville, Eldorado and Jefferson precincts in Culpeper), Guest has made a determined pitch for voters to come out on election day. He’s continued his personal campaign on a person-to-person basis, stressing the importance of participating in the electoral process. Gained Seniority In the House of Delegates. Guest serves on committees for Agriculture, Finance, Conservation and Natural Resources, Roads and Internal Navigation as well as on the Virginia State Crime Commission. According to the Front Royal Republican, he has built up seniority and influence and has earned the trust of his fellow legislators RAYMOND “ANDY” GUEST Republican Delegate—31st District auring ms 11 years in the General Assembly. ‘‘In addition to my legislative duties. I have been able to provide constituent service to literally hundreds of people whom I have had the honor to represent." he says. With unemployment nearing record highs in the 31st district, jobs are becoming an issue. While continuing to support the area's already existing farming industry. Guest is on record as offering to assist his constituent localities in attracting new businesses — dui only 11 requesieu to do so. “A delegate can help a locality become competitive (in attracting industry) but the main point is that it’s not up to a delegate to dictate to a locality or to an industry,” he maintains. During his legislative career. Guest has supported passage of the Equal Rights Amendment, continuance of the Standards of Quality for Education at their present level “with perhaps halting of the downward change in average classroom sizes” and more state aid to localities for education. He voted for studies on uranium mining proposed in last year’s General Assembly and favors a moratorium on uranium mining in Virginia unless overwhelming evidence of safety is produced, especially as regards ground water supplies. Guest also supported a bill introduced in the Assembly to provide public funding of abortions through Medicaid in cases of Incest, rape or gross fetal deformity. "It's not a question of abortion or no abortion but rather should a person unable to afford a needed medical service available to those with money be denied that service,” he explained at the time. Four years ago. Guest was a leader in the losing effort to allow pari-mutual betting in Virginia; he doubts, however, whether he will bring up that issue again, citing absence of any new support. Guest acknowledges that elimination of Virginia's sales tax on food has support across the state. “Probably everyone in the General Assembly would like to take it off but first we must either identify the programs that must be cut if we lose that revenue or how we’re going to make up the difference,” he says, predicting that the measure will not make it through the General Assembly anytime soon. Mr. Dorrier also faults the incumbent for being too isolated and out of touch with voters, choosing to deal with them through intermediaries. such as assistants and aides. The Democrat says he is committed to being as accessible and available as possible to 7th district residents. Saying he is willing to work long and hard for the benefit of Virginians, Mr. Dorrier says he foresees no problems working with fellow Virginia representatives and senators, the majority of whom are Republicans. “We've got to put the country’s interests above the parties’—get it above the partisan bickering. The public wants to see solutions, not party labels." Among the key issues in the campaign, says the candidate, is unemployment which now is 10.1 percent nationwide, a post-World War II high before the end of the year. In order to return those millions of unemployed to productive jobs. Congress needs to support tax incentives for private industry, says Mr. Dorrier. The enterprise zone proposed by President Reagan is an excellent way of attracting businesses back into the waning inner cities and giving them new life. Tax incentives also could be offered to employers who offer job training programs for unskilled labor, he says. To reduce government spending and eventually balance the budget, Mr. Dorrier first would freeze spending limits for the 198384 fiscal year at their current level. 1 hen he would have Congress drift away from trimming social programs and instead would have the government focus its attention on programs ‘‘that do not affect people.” In addition to subsidy programs, this redirected Tight against waste and inefficiency would spotlight defense, foreign aid, and tax loopholes, among others, as its prime targets. Perhaps the largest savings could be found in the military budget where cost overruns are the rule and not the exception and run into the billions of dollars each year, he says. Many of the overruns could be prevented to a large extent, says the candidate, with improved planning for weapons expenditures. Though Mr. Dorrier is a major in the active Army Reserves, he nevertheless says. “There is no reasonable explanation for the hundreds of (expensive) changes to weapons systems. . .Better planing by both the government and its defense contractors could save the taxpayers billions." And. better entorcement ot both competitive bidding laws and the terms of government contracts also would be beneficial, he says. Of the registration of millions of young Americans in the event that the draft is one day reinstituted. Mr. Dorrier says there is a much easier and less expensive way of finding all the names. The requirement that youths must themselves sign up his proven to be ineffective. he says, citing the non-compliance rate of 15 to 20 percent. The government stands to spend millions prosecuting those nonconformers. A much easier method would be to obtain the names of eligible persons by sifting through Social Security records, birth records and other such documents, he says. In other comments concerning the military, the candidate supports an allvolunteer force and says it is a viable concept if personnel policies and especially compensation continue to improve While Mr. Dorrier supports tax incentives for business in order to help stimulate the economy, he wants to make sure all pay their fair share of the tax burden. Toward that end. he wants to see tax loopholes through which millions of big business dollars slip each (Continued on Page 9) Toscano Aims Campaign At Robinson’s Record ny UArnnir Ml Kn|>|>nhannork N*-h« Staff V ril«*r David Toscano, the James Madison University sociology professor running as the Citizen's Party candidate in the race for the 7th District House seat, has aimed his campaign at what he described as “ReaganRobinson" policies. In personal appearances and press releases, Toscano has hit again and again at the link between the administration and the six-term Republican incumbent. And he has tried to stretch that link to reach the Democratic candidate as well. ' 1 don t see too much difference between Mr. Robinson and Mr. Dorrier," Toscano said in a recent interview, comparing Lindsay Dorrier’s statements in the media and in campaign releases with J. Kenneth Robinson's votes on issues. "They both see themselves as conservatives." Former director of Boston College's program for the study of peace and war and a delegate to the first United Nations special session on disarmament. Toscano has made the nuclear question an issue in the 7th District congressional race. He charges that his Republican opponent has "mindlessly" supported the Reagan administration’s “dangerous and unnecessary arms build-up” while the Democratic challenger has waffled on the question of a nuclear freeze. Toscano strongly supports a bilateral, verifiable freeze on the production, testing and deployment of nuclear weapons as well as negotiation of a comprehensive test ban treaty and adoption of a U.S. pledge never to use nuclear weapons in a first strike. “The Soviets have already made such a pledge," he says. Toscano notes that in the 1960s, Robert McNamara, then Secretary of Defense, concluded that 400 nuclear bombs could destroy 25 percent of the Soviet population and 75 percent of its industry. "We now have 75 times that number and are increasing our arsenal by three to five warheads per day." The Citizens Party candidate also calls for an end to government subsidies for nulcear power. "To put the matter simply, nuclear power cannot be made safe and nuclear wastes cannot be rendered harmless." he says, proposing that subsidies to coal, oil and nuclear power industries—already more than $225 billion—be terminated. In addition,Toscano favors repeal of the Price Anderson Act which limits (he financial liability of Unimex iui udiiiugcs in me event of a nuclear accident. In the energy arena. Toscano supports stepped-up conservation efforts, investment in solar energy, an indexed fuel assistance program to keep up with the real cost of energy and creation of an Energy Corporation of America or a network of regional energy corporations to compete with the oil companies by undercutting monopoly pricing power and pursuing energy alternatives. Maintaining that his Republican opponent has voted for federal cuts which have effectively crippled environmental protection in this country. Toscano proposes adequate funds for EPA and vigorous congressional control over their administration. He also supports legislative control of industrial chemicals as part of a national cancer prevention program and legislation that will permit local communities and states to adopt more rigid standards than those of the federal government. With unemployment at 10.1 percent in September and 11 million Americans jobless. J. Kenneth Robinson's support of “Reaganomics" has been a frequent target in Toscano's campaign. “Mr. Robinson is supporting an economic program that has brought the nation to the brink of economic disaster. . .The Reagan- Robinson plan for economic recovery was based I DAVID TOSCANO Citizens Party on the now-discredited notion that if we provided large companies with tax breaks, they would invest the capital to create jobs. They have not done so," Toscano says. In place of Reagonomics, the Citizens Party candidate proposes what he calls "economic democracy" in a program that includes (I) job creation through joint government-business efforts to rebuilt railroads, bridges and transportation systems. (2) job creation by subsidizing conservation of energy resources (retrofitting of homes and industries) and through development of solar technology and (3) controlling capital flight by requiring large corporations to provide communities and workers with prior notification of intent to move and by making corporations pay penalties for arbitrary relocation abroad. Toscano also supports changes in the tax system, directed in part at balancing the shift that has seen the percentage of federal revenues gaihered from corporate taxation fall from 22 percent in I960 to 10 percent by 1985. He would eliminate subsidies to U.S. based multinational corporations, target 1981 tax cuts to those earning S50.000 or less while raising the standard deduction and tax profits from investments in nonproductive assets (such as gold, silver and antiques) as income. Toscano’s long-term economic plan resolves around a modified flat tax that would eliminate most deductions and establish progressive rates which rise with income. In the area of women's rights, the Citizens Party candidate favors passage of the Equal Rights Amendment, restoration of cuts in social spending that effect women (specifically in the areas of food stamps and the WIC program), pro-choice legislation and new initiatives designed to implement the principle of equal pay for work of comparable value. Toscano notes that op ponents have maintained that a vote for the Citizens Party candidate is in essence a "throw away" vote since he realistically has no chance at defeating Republican J. Kenneth Robinson while Dorrier. the Democratic hopeful. does. Toscano maintains that odds on his upsetting the Republican veteran are as good as Dorrier's. pointing to a recent poll conducted in Fauquier County which showed Dorrier supported by just three percent of those surveyed. Dorrier and Robinson both opposed the recent bill enacted by Congress to provide 200.000 jobs for Americans. he notes. "Although Mr. Dorrier claims to oppose cuts in social spending, his recent proposal to freeze federal spending at 1982 levels essentially is a ratification of the Reagan cuts in food stamps, ADC (Aid to Dependent Children), student loans, community economic assistance, the Farmers Flome Administration loan program for family farms and other essential programs. And it implies a freeze on social security benefits.” Toscano says. With Robinson's record and Dorrier’s statements indicating frequent agreement on the most fundamental issues. Toscano maintains that a vote for the Citizens Party is a vote for change.

Julius Caesar County’s Oldest Citizen Recalled By WAYNE BALDWIN Kappahann<K'k W Special Writer In last weeks issue of The Rappahannock News, the picture from “Out of the Attic” struck my eye. Having done a bit of research on the Beahm family (I being both related and a genealogist,) I thought the following item which appeared in The Blue Ridge Guide in 1923 might be note worthy and perhaps interesting to some of our citizens. Death of Our Oldest Citizen Mr. George W. Beahm, probably the oldest citizen of our county, died Sunday near Smedley from the infirmities of old age in the 99th year of his life. Mr. Beahm had been -a remarkably active man all his life and up to a year or so ago retained all his mental and physical powers to a marked degree. He reared a large family, some of whom reside in this county, while others live in distant portions of the Union. Later we hope to give a more extended history of his life. And this appeared later in perhaps the next weeks issue. George W. Beahm After a long life spanning the years from early manhood to old age, humbly walking with his God in his 98th year, as the sun was sinking behind the Western hills on August 5, 1923, the soul of George W. Beahm too* its mgnt to tne ureat Beyond. And thus passed from mortal vision a man ripe in years, strong in faith, abundant in good works, honored by all who knew him, beloved by those who knew him best, leaving to those who survive—family, brethren and friends—that which is to be more desired than silver or gold, “yea, more than fine gold,” the Diessea legacy oi an nonoreu i name. Geoge W. Behm was born April 25, 1825, and at the time of his death was 98 years, 3 months, and 21 days old. He is survived by seven 1 daughters, eight sons, seventy-five grandchildren and ninety-five greatgrandchildren, and seven great- great-grandchildren. The funeral services were 1 unuucicu uy c,iucr m. Lewis Hudson. The pall-bearers vere five of his sons and one ;on-in-law, Abram, Frank, Jooton, John and Edward 3eahm and Charles Henry -razier. In the passing of George W. Beahm, Rappahannock oses not only its oldest :itizen. but also one of its jest. May those who survive :mulate his noble life. Hofnebounds v Need A t nend every winter, the national press carries stories of elderly shut-ins and the handicapped homebound who perish, locked into isolation by ice, snow and freezing temperatures. Sylvia Kreitler, director of Rappahannock’s welfare programs, is working to prevent that kind of tragedy from happening here.

Deer Problem Overshadows Exotic Local Neighbors (Continued from i\ opposed to allowing hunting with bows.” Bow hunters are essential to the public hunt, as they may kill does, most effectively hampering population growth. “People have an idea that guns kill cleanly, while arrows cause wounding and suffering,” Dr. Wemmer said. He expects the Game Commission to present testimony on the lethality of bow-and-arrow hunting at the Congressional hearing. Opposition Understood Was the curator surprised at the degree of attention focused on his proposed hunt? “Yes, I was,” he said. "But I do understand. We’re dealing with a creature that evokes great sympathy, that never directly threatens man s survival. People think we're trying to murder Bambi." He has listened to alternative proposals that range from plausible to definitely impossible, such as transporting each deer to another area. “But where?" he asks, “and how? This is simply not physically possible.” Other suggestions have been a birth control pill for deer, mass castration and mass radiation, prompting one amused citizens to suggest in a letter to Dr. Wemmer that those in opposition be issued pliers and let loose on the Center’s grounds. Local reaction to the issue has not been limited to amusement. In an area where deer hunting is a way of life. Dr. Wemmer has also to contend with irate hunters. He appeared Tuesday at Front Royal’s fire house to try to explain the whole controversy to a group gathered there. wer ropuiatlon Dr. Wemmer is also concerned about the effect of deer over-population on the area in general. “All of us—zoologists, biologists—we all consider ourselves friends and protectors of animals. Starvation and disease in a deer herd is the crudest possible death for those animals". Nearby Rappahannock County game warden Jim Bankston agrees with Dr. Wemmer's analysis. “There are no natural predators to curb this jupu latiUM, lie )dlU. ‘There’s no question but that he impact of overpopulation m a deer herd is starvation, disease, and a devastated voodland.” If the subcommittee is convinced that the Virginia Game Commission’s proposal is sound, then the planned public hunt will proceed at a later date. If not. Dr. Wemmer says he is “bound to use the most effective legal way to remedy the problem. No matter how much I might wish it, this just won’t go away.’ RCHS Honor Roll The following is a list of RCHS students who made the Honor Roll for the first Advisory: Grade 8 Lee Baines, Heather Blevins.

Dorrier 'Coni in nod from Page 1) year closed and laws strengthened. "Last year 33 companies with earnings of $100 million or more paid no corporate taxes." he says. "Meanwhile, of the nation’s 500 largest corporations. 22 percent have been convicted of. or admitted. charges of tax evasion, price fixing, false claims and illegal political donations. "Individuals and small businesses pay more than their fair share of taxes and now they deserve a break." Mr. Dorrier says. Another thing Congress can do to save—or at least make better use of—tax dollars is to change its at inude toward foreign aid. an $11.5 billion annual budget item. "We must look at our foreign aid programs to determine whether we can afford to spend our tax dollars abroad, when so many people are suffering at home." he says. Admitting that such aid has its proper place, he nonetheless is adamant that "we must reduce the amount we spend on foreign aid." Mr. Dorrier says he supports calls for a constitutional amendment mandating a balanced budget. However, he ridicules the particular amendment killed in the House last week, terming it a “decoy" and saying it was "designed to F-A-L-L FEEDER CATTLE SALES DAMSON LIVESTOCK MARKET, INC.

He supports a mutually verifiable treaty with the Soviet Union to freeze and reduce the number of nuclear weapons in both countries. This is a particularly good time to end the extremely expensive arms race, he says, because both countries are facing difficult economic times and the money they save could be used in ways much more beneficial to the citizens. On environmental concerns. Mr. Dorrier says he is against efforts to "dilute” the effectiveness of environmental protection regulations. To see that federal guidelines are enforced more stringently, the enforcement duties should be turned over to states and localities. Mr. Dorrier says he favors trimming the fat and inefficiency from social programs but not to the extent that it endangers the very lives of the needy. I ne truly needy—the sick, the poor and the elderly, should not be permitted to starve or die in the streets. By the same token, if able bodied citizens can work, they should work. Mr. Dorrier is a supporter of equal rights for everyone, and if elected he says he would support passage of the Equal Rights Amendment in Congress and would encourage its ratification by the Virginia General Assembly. The contender opposes mandatory prayer in schools, citing the constitutional principle and separation of church and state. Instead, he would like to see a simple moment of silence. On abortion. Mr. Dorrier says he is against it but thinks the decision should be left to the parents and their physician. SPORTS Aerobic Dancers Dance For Heart B> THKHKSA RK\ MUDS H;i|i|ialiiinn<K'k Staff % rilt-r Kicking and high-stepping, jumping and jogging, hitting the floor in a musical routine that includes 45 sit-ups, Rappahannock women are getting in shape this fall in aerobic dance classes. The local popularity of this rhythmic form of exercise parallels the growth of aerobic dance across the country. “Aerobic”, meaning ‘with air”, refers to conditioning that strengthens the heart and lungs by making them work harder through demanding increased amounts of oxygen over a ong period of time. Other aerobic exercises include swimming, skipping rope, ennis, running and jogging: any exercises done vigorously and lasting for a period of ime. The concept of aerobic :onditioning has been around or a while, and was one of he main causes of the rurrent popularity of running or fitness. Aerobic dancing s relatively new. Jackie iorenson, the wife of an air orce officer, became inerested in the idea of •ombining aerobic conlitioning with dance because >f her husband's association vith Kenneth Cooper, the "father" of aerobic exercise. Sorenson, a dancer, felt that by the combination of the two disciplines she could create a kind of exercise that would be inexpensive, require no previous training, fit into a busy schedule and—most important of all — be fun. The element of fun is probably the biggest reason behind the national popularity of this form of exercise: many women who get bored with calisthenics, who don't like to compete, or who can't invest in expensive equipment have found in aerobic dance a sport they look forward to rather than dread. Aileen Barnes, who with Roseanne Sharp, teaches the 65 women enrolled in Rappahannock classes, said that she took the course herself and liked it so much that she agreed to become an instructor. "I've always danced,” Aileen aid, “and I was running, so it was logical for me to turn to r cs.” Instructors mus r lintain a high level of physical fitness, attend clinics and workshops, be non-smokers, and weigh in under a certain weight for their height. They also have to pass a running test and learn Cardiopulmonary resuscitation as Panthers Knock Off Clarke “It’s now a battle between Strasburg, Stonewall and us for the Bull Run District’s cross country championship,” announced Rappahannock coach Ann Speiker this week. The four-way race for the crown became a three-way contest late Wednesday afternoon when the RCHS harriers knocked off Clarke County in a tri-meet at Berryville. "We’ve taken Clarke out of it and it’s the first time we've beaten them in years," Speiker said. Scott Keithley was in his usual position, first across the line at the Millwood course in 17:43. The Clarke County runners in second and third place finished more Robinson (Continued from Page I) pessimistic," Mr. Robinson said, especially about government over-regulation. Now, he said, they are seeing Reagan's promises to "get government off their backs," come true. He said the optimism reelected by his Advisory Committee leads him to say that the economy has bottomed out and leveled off, and he flatly predicted the upswing should become obvious by the second quarter of next year. Discussing the flat rate tax proposal being bruited about in Washington. Mr. Robinson says there was no time to take up the idea in this Congress, but predicted the next Congress will consider the proposal. "It’s finding more sym« pathy every day." The Winchester native admitted he has been slighting the northern end of the Shenandoah valley in his limited campaigning to concentrate on some 70,000 new constituents he picked up in Prince William during last year’s reapportionment. “I’ve lived all my life in Winchester and Frederick County. If I have a name identification problem here. I’m in trouble,” Mr. Robinson laughed. He admitted he was troubled by a recent poll taken by the Arundel Newspapers because of the many people in the undecided category, but he predicted that, if the Republicans can hold their own, they are going to win the election. than a half minute behind Keithley, both clocked at 18:20. Ronnie Atkins, Larry Sisk and Craig Kenyon followed, all bunched in the meetwinning pack that coach Speiker looks forward to seeing. Atkins was: fourth in 18:39. Sisk fifth in 18:56 and Kenyon sixth in 19:01. Rickv Shaw, still working his *wav back into top shape after being sidelined by a midseason injury, was eighth in 19:24. Elwood Dodson finished in 19:29 (10th). David Dodson in 20:13 (12th) and John Dodson in 21:33 (20th). Bobby Ludwick posted a time of 21:59, Marc Streagle 23:17, John Raney 25:55 and Ann Oliver 25:59. When the scores were tallied. Rappahannock w as in front of Clarke by nine, 2433. with Manassas Park trailing with 65. Coach Speiker was cautiously optimistic on the Panthers' chances in this week's district championship meet scheduled for RCHS's Blue Rock Farm’s course on Wednesday. "I'm seeing faster times from our runners than at this same point last year.” she said, giving even odds to Rappahannock. Strasburg and Stonewall. “All the other coaches are calling it the same way," Speiker added. well as other first-aid procedures essential for anyone teaching vigorous exercise. Instructors constantly monitor the heart rate of their students and advise them to check with a physician before beginning an aerobics class. Heart rates are taken after vigorous workouts to determine the working heart rate, and after cooling down to determine recovery heart rate. A typical class taught by Aileen or Roseanne will include five minutes of stretching and flexibility exercises to warm up the body, a sit-up routine and another warm-up dance to music. Then follows thirty minutes of aerobic dances, a five-minute floor exercise routine to music and ten minutes of cool-down or stretching exercises. Music that is used is selected by the area manager of "Aerobic. Inc.," Betsy Perkins. who also choreographs the routines. Music ranges from current top 40 numbers, present and past rock-and-roll favorites to popular ballads. This week, to help a worthy cause, and to draw attention to the cardiovascular benefits of aerobic dance, local dancers are collecting sponsor pledges for the "dance for heart" contest. Each participant will dance in classes this week and next at a monetary perhour pledge. Interested sponsors can see Aileen. Roseanne. or any class member. The "Dance for Heart" promotion is sponsored by the Virginia Heart Association. Aileen feels that the benefits of aerobic dance include much more than cardiovascular conditioning and increased muscle lone. “We have women who have never exercised and now feel so much better, women who feel awkward and want to improve their poise, women who want to tone up after having babies. I like to think that our students leave here with a new sense of selfrespect. We're open to anyone - old or young, fit or flabby - anyone who wants to see what exercise can do." I CACHING DANCE ROUTINES is aerobic dance teacher Aileen Barnes, front. The popularity of aerobic dancing for exercise and fun has reached Rappahannock, with over sixty residents taking the classes. This week and next students in the classes are seeking sponsors for their “dance for heart", benefittintr the V ircinia Heart Association.

Did you try those wild tomatoes that grow in back of the ’ house? La Tomato Delecioux! 9-14-80 Chris Ladde 19 Passaic Avenue Lodi. N.J. 07070 Dear Allen, Well, it seems country life hasn’t bothered you at all. When I went off to High School, I couldn’t stand the isolation. I’m glad you like it with Grandma, and ^ay “Hello” to her from me. Watch those soccer games for me, and you can keep the socks. As for the tomatoes, I don’t like tomatoes so I never noticed any. Also, city boy, I wouldn't eat anything wild unless I knew what it was. Have a nice time anyway. Love, Chris September 21, 1980 Allen Ladde Dear Chris, Things have soured up a bit around here. Grandma hasn't been feeling well, your soccer team lost, and your pranks haven't been putting me in any good moods! What are these tricks, eh? So far I’ve found worms in my books, bugs in my clothes, and teeth in my bed! Animal teeth! Grandma is worried, but I know it's you and I’m mad! I’d suggest you tell me about any more pranks and get rid of them when youcomedown! Signing off mad. Allen 9-25-1980 Chris Ladde Dear Allen, Sorry to hear about Grandma, give her my regards. Now, I would like you to stop making these insane accusations and think! I have pulled very few pranks on you and, I have never gone so far as to put insects in your things. And I hate touching animal remains of any kind including teeth! Tell me why I would go to so much trouble to annoy you. There’s got to be an explanation for this, but it’s not me. I'm four states away, and the place was clean when you got there. Why don’t you work this out rationally instead of doing your usual thing, blaming your problems on the First person you think of. Work it out. Chris Oct. 2. 1980 Allen Ladde Dear Chris, Grandma had a stroke at the general store a few days ago. Now she is in a coma at the hospital and I will be living alone until you can come down. Please, come down soon! You’re right, these things aren't tricks, and I don’t know what’s going on! The air in the house smells sour and flies are everywhere. I woke up last night with a three-inch tooth embedded in my leg. The tooth then disappeared after I pulled it out. It left no scar but a burning pain I still have. I'd swear that Grandma's clawfoot tub clawed at the floor and growled when I went near it. This is not a joke, it’s real and I’ll be living in a constant state of fear until you get back. The local people think I’m on drugs or something. And the school headmaster says it's because I’m worried about Grandma. But nobody will help! Those insects have gotten into all the food except my tomatoes and I’ve stopped going to school. They all think I’m crazy and now I’m beginning to believe them! Chris, you’ve got to get me out of here. I’ve got nowhere else to go. Allen FEDERAL EXPRESS OVERNIGHT LETTER Sent 10-6-82 FROM: CHRIS LADDE Allen - My* VW should be fixed later today, and I’ll be leaving about 1:00 p.m. I should arrive about 8:00 p.m. (the 7th). Just sit tight until I get there and don’t do anything rash. Chris (Note found next to body) October 13, 1980 Allen Ladde Chris 1 know you’re dead otherwise you'd be here by now. I still write to you because I got nobody else to turn to. I try to call Grandma at the hospital but the phone just laughed at me so I know she's dead too this house may be mean but it don’t lie! I was watching tv this morning and all it showed me was your death over and over your little VW plowing into the big Trailways bus and you tried to stop but the house would not let you and over and over your fear-filled face as you hit the house killed you and is killing me but I’m not going to let it konw it’s scaring me like you and Grandma I just going to eat my tomatoes and let it kill me and not fight it just let me die and just Allen and Chris Ladde died, and their grandmother. The grandmother of a stroke while in a coma, Chris in a county hospital after an auto accident, Allen of a heart attack after going insane. Some old country folk still believe that Alien never was insane. He was perfectly normal when he first arrived in Pennsville, but none of the horrors were ever found, not even the tomatoes.

Scary Story Winners The Return Of Arthur Freeman Second Place Winner, Grades 9-12 Josephine A. Rood Grade 10 Wakefield School It was Dobson’s idea. At the time, it seemed funny. “Why don’t we dress up give someone a scare?” he suggested the day before Halloween. “We couldn’t scare anyone,” I replied. “What about Arthur Freeman?” said Harry Richards suddenly. “That kid’s probably scared of mice.” “What about his Aunt?" I asked. “She’s in Kentucky,” answered Harry, “He’s staying in the house alone.” "Let’s get into the house and wait for him," I said. I’ll get Fred to have Arthur help him with his homework so it’ll be dark when he comes home.” On Halloween, we coated our faces and hands with phosphorescent paint and Dobson had a dagger his father had given him, which he dipped in a blood-like concoction. We all wore long black robes with hoods. We got into Arthur’s house by an open window and waited in the front hall until we heard Arthur's approaching footsteps. He stepped inside and shut the door. Before he could put on the light, we sprang out from our hiding places, throwing off our hoods to give him the full effect of our glowing white faces. Arthur’s reaction surprised us all. For a moment he made no sound, then he gave a strangled whimper and crumpled to the floor. “He’s fainted," said Dobson. "Where's the stupid light?" grunted Harry. After a good deal of stumbling around, we found it and switched it on. Arthur Freeman’s face wore a frozen expression of stark terror. I knew with a horrible cer tainty that he was dead. We left the body still lying on the floor and hurried out of the house in a state of shock. It was two years later that I heard of Harry’s death. He had been home alone at Halloween. When his family returned, he was dead. He had apparently thrown himself out of a window and broken his neck. His brother had told me Harry had been acting strange for several ] months, imagining he was being followed and afraid of being left alone. The next year, a month before Halloween, I began to notice Dobson's strange behavior. He constantly insisted that someone was following him and refused to stay anywhere alone. Yet, on the night of our annual Halloween party, he showed a curious reluctance to come and said he would stay in his room. I did not enjoy the party, and returned early. Suddenly, the air was rent by Where Is Robert? m iiiru nwx Tv inner Grades 9-12 Tara Fisher Grad'- 9 Rappahannock High School It happened on Halloween, 1%4. It was a long time ago, but I remember it well. That year, my daughter Sarah was getting dressed up as a princess. She really looked sweet in her white satin gown. When people started coming, I let Sarah hand out the candy until Mrs. Huton came with Tina to take them both trick-or-treating. I reminded them to come back at eight-thirty for the party Sarah finally talked me into giving for about fifteen of her friends. The clock chimed eighto'clock. I was determined to enjoy my last half-hour of freedom while I got everything ready for the party.

Fletcher and James W. Fletcher, III, John W. Jenkins, Trustees (Either of Whom May Act) a terrible scream. I stood frozen to the spot as more screams resounded. Then I rushed across the hall and flung open the door. As I did so, the noise suddenly ceased. Automatically, I fumbled for the light switch. The first thing I saw was a body on the floor. It was Dobson, and there was a dagger through his heart - the same dagger he had held on that fateful Halloween three years before. Te had always kept it hanging on the wall. No fingerprints were ever found on the hilt, and no other clues. Halloween is drawing near again and I feel a strange anxiety, which no doubt explains my peculiar impression that I am being followed. This morning, when I happened to turn around, I could have sworn I saw a robed figure slipping bacR around the corner; but I suppose it must be my imagination... I looked at the clock. It was eight-thirty. In a few minutes, Sarah and Tina arrived. By nine o’clock, everyone was there. First, we played games. Robert won every single one. After a while, the other kids got frustrated because Robert won all the games, so they decided to play a different kind of game. They wanted to play "skeleton in the closet.” I told them they could play while I got the last game ready, as long as they didn't destroy the cleanliness of the house. I didn’t' know they had created a different version of the game. I went into the kitchen and started peeling grapes. They were supposed to represent eyes. Then I stuffed cotton into a glove. That was supposed to be a hand. The kids upstairs were making a lot of noise, and every once in a while I heard screaming. I went to the bottom of the stairs, and looked up, but all the lights were out. Someone ran through the hall. Slam! Someone shut a door. Someone else tried to sneak out of the room. Thud! Something fell on the floor. Most of the noise was coming from the guest room, which I couldn’t see from where I was standing. 1 went back in the kitchen. I made some hair out of spaghetti, brains out of a sponge, and a bowl of blood out of tomato juice. When 1 finished that, I heard a lot of noise upstairs. I went to the bottom of the stairs. The lights were still out. People were running from room to room, screaming and laughing. All of a sudden 1 heard THUMP! THUD! Everyone ran towards my bedroom. Someone screamed a spine-chilling, hair-raising, blood-curdling scream. Another thud. I paused, as quietness overcame my whole house. I looked up, and slowly ascended, one step at a time. Someone turned the lights on, and the kids came downstairs and said they were bored with that game and wanted to play something else. “WHERE IS ROBERT?” "In the bathroom,” said Sarah, very matter-of-fact. I told them to sit in a circle in the living room. I got the tray of things I had prepared. A couple of girls giggled. 1 turned off the lights. More giggles. I finally sat down. I told them a scary story about a man who was killed. I passed around the body parts, saying what they were supposed to be, but not saying what they really were. I turned the lights on. Instantly, the room was filled with screams. I tried to calm the kids down, but then I saw what was wrong. The human parts were not pretend. They were real. It occured to me that Robert never came out of the bathroom. I went upstairs and there was Robert. I screamed. The Thing in the Path Second Place Grade* 6, 7,8 Dicky Burke Gr ade 6 Rappahannock Elementary School One dark, windy, rainy, and thundering Halloween night my grandfather was returning home from his friends’ house who lived about six miles from him in the countryside. He and his friends had been talking about ghouls, ghosts, and witches. My grandfather had to walk through about five miles of thick, dark and horrifying woods. This night the woods seemed to be especially spooky. He could see eyes staring at him from all sides. He heard rustling and creaking noises. He also had to go through an old, rundown, graveyard. As he approached the graveyard he could see the large, white tombstones looming at him. He heard a cat cry in the background and saw bats circling over (he graveyard. As he walked along he kept thinking about ghosts and goblins. The moon began to peer ever so faintly from behind the dark and misty clouds. He began to see weird shadows and heard strange, eerie noises. He could still see eyes staring at him from the bushes. He began to walk faster and faster. As he reached the old graveyard, he tripped over something big and white lying in the path. As he fell he heard the thing moan and groan. The thing did not move. My grandfather’s heart was beating very fast and he felt as though he was choking. By this time, the moon had disappeared and it was pitch dark again so he' couldn’t see what had made the moaning and groaning sounds. He was so (tightened he jumped up and ran home as fast as he could. He was out of breath when he reached home. He couldn’t sleep all that night. The next morning he went back to the graveyard to find out just what had scared him the night before. He walked very slowly and very carefully along the path. Then he saw what had made him fall. There lying in the path was an old. white, dead horse. The Underground River rmt nice Grade* 6-8 Jennifer Anderaon Grade 6 Wakefield School It was late when Janet turned out the light. She checked the clock. It said eleven-thirty. “I’ll never stay awake at school tomorrow,” she thought, as she got into bed. She twisted and turned but could not get comfortable. She thought she must have lain there for hours when she heard the clock strike midnight. She suddenly had a strange feeling that she was being watched. She turned.

He insisted he stay in the house alone the first night. Before the night was a quarter over he tried to find the telephone, but he wanted to make a fool out of Jake opened the door and said, “Well, go ahead. Go in.” So then Jake walked in and he started walking up and once he got to the top, one of the other boys screamed, “Watch out! There is a ghost behind you!” The boy on the stairs believed him, so he jumped off the stairs. The only trouble was he didn't land on the end of the stairs, he landed right in kept hearing creaky noises. He felt as though he were being watched. When he stubbed his toe he thought someone had his foot. He couldn’t find his bedroom because it was a big house. So he had to sleep in a chair. He had his hand scraped by a nail and he thought someone with a hook hand was trying to stab him. All he could think of was being picked up in the morning by his friends. He couldn't sleep at all. He heard a noise from the downstairs and thought someone was down there. So he took a knife and went down. He got his knife stuck between the door and the wall and he thought someone was trying to take it. He then bumped into something and it made a loud crash. He almost hit the ceiling. On his way upstairs his shirt got stuck on the stairway rod. Thinking someone had him, he had a heart attack. When his friends came the next morning, they found him dead on the stairway. The headline on the paper read, “MAN KILLED BY GHOST*. About ten to fifteen years later a bunch of kids were daring each other to go in the house and go upstairs, since they all knew the man died on the stairs. Jake, one of the boys who wanted to show off, said he would go in the house. But the truth was Jake was scared at the sight of the house. One of his friends who the middle. I guess you’ve figured out the rest of the story. The funeral was held the next day. All the boys except Jake got put in a center for disturbed teen-agers. The girls said they hadn’t done anything so they just got put on restriction. ,—AmeriGas—| SHENGAS DIVISION 327 No Royal Ave. Front Royal, Va 635-3556 L P Gas distributor serving a four county area Propane gas for full house use heating. water heating and cooking Hardwick Ranges' Ruud Water Heaters Space Heaters TF Building? •Paint •Lumber •Hardware! k.\ BUILDING SUPPLY WarrMtoa Building Material Cn., Inc.

She was terrified. What she felt was fear beyond screaming. She couldn't move, couldn’t run. The figure touched her. Red smoke swirled around her. She felt choked, opressed. When she could see again, the familiar surroundings of home were gone, as was the apparition. She was alone, in a boat. It was pitch black. After a few moments she saw a light up ahead. The boat rounded a curve. She sucked in her breath and fought off a wave of nausea. The sight was horrible. She saw people. It was like a sight out of the Middle Ages. Some were being beaten. Others stretched on something which resembled “the rack”. She looked at the scars on their bodies and closed her eyes. "This is the torture chamber,” a voice said. She opened her eyes abruptly as she felt the sting of a whip across her back. “You will keep your eyes open at all times,” said the voice. The boat turned again. Darkness was complete. “Calm down,” she told herself. “This is all a dream." Yet she knew it was real. If it hadn’t been for the torture chamber, she would have welcomed the light. But now, she dreaded it. Again, the curve. "Oh, my Lord,” she whispered. “This is our re-enactment of the Salem witch trials of your year 1690.” It was terrible, like a nightmare. Except, the screams were real as men and women were burned or beaten to death. She couldn’t believe it was real, it wasn’t re-enactment, it wai the Salem witch trials. People were really dying. She could feel the heat of the flames as she passed by. She heard one man scream as he was lowered into a pot of boiling oil. Then it was over. She caught her breath as the boat sailed through darkness. All too soon she saw the light. Then the curve. She braced herself. “This is the Indian Massacre of Red Creek,” said the voice. It was ghastly. She heard screams and smelled blood. She almost fainted as an Indian threw a small boy into a fire. "He’s only a little older than my brother,” she thought. A woman was lashed to a post. One Indian set fire to her skirts. She screamed, trying to pull free. It was too terrible. She closed her eyes. The boat sped up until it came to a small cubicle. She was yanked from the boat. Her hands were tied to a post. “You were told to keep your eyes open,” the voice said severely. "Further punishment is necessary.” The back of her nightgown was ripped open. “What you are seeing is part of your training,” the voice continued. “You must learn discipline.” A whip was brought across her back. A short cry escaped her. Again and again she felt the sting of the whip. Then she was untied and shoved into the boat. “You will now go to your position,” the voice said. Within a few seconds the boat turned. A ship came into view. A battle was being fought on it. Silently, in fear of more punishment. Janet took her post on the ship; forgetting forever any other life.

In examining how to assure that farmers in the future can afford to stay on their farms, leading authorities will address such issues as disappearing profits, inefficient marketing, effects of changing eating habits and barriers to new farmers entering into business. Alternative farming methods, products and related practices will be proposed by program speakers and discussed with the audience in workshop sessions. Noted lecturer and futurist Charles Burwell of Millwood, Virginia, will serve as the forum leader. Keynote presentations will be given by the director of the Institute for Alternative Futures, Clement Bezold, and the chief economist of the Virginia Department of Agriculture, Berkwood M. Farmer. A panel discussion of Alternative Futures on Farming will be moderated by Margaret Maizel, who is known for her agricultural land preservation efforts both on the Clarke County Planning Commission and with the Piedmont Environmental Council. The panel will include officials of Rural Virginia. Inc., the American Farmland Trust, and the American Farm Foundation. In addition, former officials of the American Agricultural Movement of Virginia and the Virginia Farm Bureau Federaion will sit on the panel joined by the extension agent for Clarke County. Panel members will rotate among workshops after lunch so that all members of the audience will have an opportunity to speak directly with program participants. At a Final plenary session, the forum will conclude with ideas on what next steps ought to be taken to shape farm policy in the Shenandoah Valley Registration will begin at 9 a.m. on November 6. The program will start promptly at 9:20 a.m. and continue into the mid afternoon. There is no registration fee. Lunch will be available at a nominal cost The forum will be recorded by WVPT of Staunton. Virginia, for a special program to be produced for television viewing in December 1982. WVPT is a public television station that serves the Shenandoah Valley and Piedmont areas. It broadcasts over chanel 42 on the UHF dial and is also received via cable in numerous Virginia cities and towns. The custom of wassailing was observed in many fruitgrowing districts of England until the early twentieth century. January 5 was the usual day for the celebration, when the fanner and his men, carrying a jug of mulled cider, went into the winter orchard and drank a cheerful toast to the best tree.

Why Leaves Change Color i ne reason leaves oi some broad-leafed trees change color is that variations in temperature and daylight cause the leaves to stop their food- m a king process. The food-making process takes place in leaf cells that contain the pigment chlorophyll, which gives the leaf its green color. The chlorophyll absorbs energy front sunlight and uses it in transforming carbon dioxide and water to carbohydrates such as sugars and starch. Along with the green pigment, leaves also contain yellow or orange carotenoids which, for example, give carrots their color. During most of the year, these yellowish colors are masked by the greater amounts of green coloring. In the fall when the foodmaking stops, the green color disappears and the yellowish colors become v isible. At the same time, other chemical changes may occur which cause the formation of additional pigments that vary from yellow to red to blue. Some of them give rise to the reddish and purplish fall colors of leaves of the dogwoods and sumacs. Tlie conditions that favor the most dramatic changes resulting in vibrant reds are warm sunny days, followed by cool nights when the temperature dips below 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Familiar trees that turn red are the red maple. silver maple, flowering dogwood, sweetgum, black tupelo (black gum), northern red oak, scarlet oak and sassafras. The leaves soon fall to the ground because a special kind of cell develops at the base of the leaf stalk where it is attached to the branch and gradually cuts the tissues that support the leaf. The leaves contain relatively large amounts of valuable elements, such as calcium and potassium. When they fall to the ground and decompose, they return part of the elements to the soil used to make the tree grow. At the same time, the layer of leaves form a waterabsorbing humus. The beautiful displays of color are characteristics of the forests in Eastern United States and Southeastern Canada, South weastern Europe and Eastern Asia. In areas where there are tropical rain forests, the broad-leaved evergreen trees gradually shed their leaves, one at a time turning yellow and falling. In the season tropical forests, the foliage becomes parched and brown with the coming of the dry season. Neither offers the color of the Virginia autumn. Energy Experts Offer Advice On rhursday, November 4, the Rappahannock County Welfare Department will host experts trom Richmond on hand to discuss home energy problems with local people.

McNab was athletic consultant for Chariots of Fire and there is a close similarity in tone, style and theme between the movie and the book. Rappahannock runners, imagine a 3,000 mile cross-country foot race with participants from around the world. The $150,000 grand prize seemed a fortune in the great depression. As the participants are weeded out, the remaining athletes become more like comrades than competitors in their struggle to triumph over nature and the many obstacles society manages to put in their way. Those of you who like historical fiction should try The Horse Goddess by Morgan Llewelyn. Set at the turn of the iron age, this is a romantic story of love, adventure and magic within the tramework ot Celtic and Scythian lore and culture. The Celtic territory is now the Austrian Alps. Vital characterizations give us a sense of the tumult of the times as the plot leads us to Asia Minor’s Sea of Grass and back again. Colin Forbes is one of the better writers of international conspiracies for those of you who like thrills and espionage. The Stockholm Syndicate has good versus evil on a global scale. Politician, multi-national corporations, banks and the police are all controlled by the Syndicate. But, Jules Beaurain, ex-Belgian police chief, and now head of the antiterrorist group called Telesope, comes along to penetrate the group resulting in a suspenseful conclusion. Pulitzer Prize winner Marquis Childs has written a marvelous saga in Mighty Mississippi: Biography of a River. Growing up on the banks of the river, he was fascinated by its mystery and power at an early age. As a young man he wrote the river’s biography, now updated. Intermingled is a wealth of history, lore and legend. Recommended as a fascinating glimpse into America’s past and present.
