In explaining their duties to the ten special grand jurors. Robinson noted that no specific acts have been alleged, no indictment issued and no defendant named. He told the jurors that they are to recommend what future actions should or may be taken relating to the case. While the special grand jury has subpeona powers to call for both witnesses and records, all witnesses have the right to have counsel present while being questioned and may exercise their fifth amendment right to remain silent if their testimony tends to be selfincriminating, the judge said. i ~He noted that the jurors may also request commonwealth's attorney Douglas Baumgardner to interrogate witnesses and advise on technical matters. Robinson cautioned the special jurors that they are not to discuss their deliberations. The panel's report w ill be sealed and not open to public inspection unless ordered by the court, he added. After hearing the judge’s instructions, the special grand jurors—foreman Den nis Fairbrother. Elizabeth Eannon, Ruth Clark. Jean Burke, James Grehan. Ruby Cannon, Warren Foster. Martin Webb. Jane Forward and William Dietel—retired to the clerk's office and began calling witnesses Closed For The Holiday Local government workers and students in Rappahannock's public and private schools will have a long weekend off as county and state offices and schools close Thursday and Friday November 25 and 26, in observance of Thanksgiving.

November 25, only. The Rappahannock News office will be closed Thursday and Friday. Final Meeting Rappahannock's Equalization Board has tentatively scheduled its last meeting for Wednesday, December 8. Landowners who wish to be heard regarding the values set on the property in the recent fair market value reassessment should contact the Commissioner of i Revenue’s office in Washington for an appointment. Last Day To Pay Monday, December 6, is the deadline for paying property taxes for 1982.

On Thursday, the panel interrogated Jack Dwyer (neighboring landowner to Points of View Farm where Spellman was farm manager), Col. Maurice Biddle (Flint Hill attorney), Patricia Saltonstall (owner of Points of View Farm), Roger E. Kidwell. Sr. (owner of the property on which Spellman was shot while reportedly attempting to widen a disputed right-of-way) and Virginia State Trooper R. A. Baines (who arrived at the scene with other law enforcement officials just minutes after the shooting occurred). The jurors returned to the clerk’s office Friday morning and received testimony from Dr. Werner Krebser, State Police Sgt. M. G. Milner, representatives from the (Continued on Page 6) TRADE PLACES? NOT ON YOUR LIFE, TURKEY! says the little red rooster to the king of barnyard. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, the rooster knows that his gobbling friend’s reign is only temporary. the Luxury Development Proposed 1 he county planning commissioners took their first look last Wednesday at the first major subdivision application in Rappahannock since 1976. In precise British accents. Nevill Turner explained that a group of overseas investors have signed a contract to purchase 663 acres of Sommarbeth Farm contingent upon approval to subdivide the property into 24 lots. Part of an "up market, private, managed, residential community." the lots will each be 25 acres or more in size. The proposed subdivision, through a management company-home owners association, will also offer recreational facilities (including two tennis and one paddle tennis courts, swimming pool, stables for 60 horses and ly'i miles of bridle and foot paths) and services such as security and caretaking, garbage collection, road maintenance, snow clearance of roads and drives, field and grass cutting and house rentals, according to information sheets handed out by Turner. At present, the property is run down and no farm maintenance work has been carried out there for the past r len years, he noted. “The old fields have been planted with about a million pine trees," Turner told the planning commissioners. He maintained that the expense of bringing the fields back to condition for farming is prohibitive. Turner reported, however, that Wiltshire Turner Limited plans to clear and reseed and fence about 100 acres for hay production and pasture. In addition, he said, individual owners will be encouraged to clear as much of the scrub land as possible. S2,000 An Acre Turner said that the house sites at Sommarbeth Farm Subdivision will be offered for sale at around $2,000 per acre. The investors in the partnership, mainly from the United Kingdom, plan to build two log cabins as “spec” homes “to see if that's the concept, the theme that people want to follow,” he added. Turner described his presentation to the planning commission as a preliminary application. "We want to get the general feel, to find out if this is the way to do it.” “I like the idea,” responded Werner Krebser, representative from THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT echoes through Trinity Church each Tuesday evening as director Gloria Harris leads the Rappahannock Chorus through rehearsals. The chorus’ Christmas concert will be presented Sunday, December 19. Wakefield District where the proposed development is located. He questioned, however, whether the existing road into the proposed subdivision will be adequate to handle the traffic generated bv the 24-lot development and a Catholic retreat center which is planned for the balance of the former Dawson property. "That’s mv only concern.” Krebser said. Turner replied that Route 662 and the roads which will provide access to the 24 lots all will be 50 foot right-ofways. Zoning administrator David Konick pointed out that internal subdivision roads serving more than 12 lots must be built to state specifications and accepted in to the state system by the A'irginia department of Highways. YVilhout that acceptance from the Highway Department, he added, neither the planning commission nor the board of supervisors can approve the subdivision under the county’s existing zoning laws. In addition, Koniek said, the developers must submit a preliminary plan to the zoning office for approval. "I’ll have to check the topography for slope — whether it’s 14 percent or more. If it is, then the minimum lot size is 50 acres.” The planning commission must also review the preliminary plan to determine whether the proposed subdivision constitutes premature development, Konick noted. The resident highway engineer must also certify that traffic from the 1 24 lots emptying out onto Route 522 will not constitute 1 a safety hazard, the zoning I administrator said. But the 1 chief obstacle which must be cleared is having the internal 1 roads built to state standards and accepted into Virginia’s highway system. Konick repeated. "Any approval we give must be contingent upon that.” "Is that a big deal?" Turner asked. (Continued on Page 6) Sewage Disposal For Group Home Worries Planners Sam Snead brought his plans for a licensed adult home to the planning commission last Wednesday to “check the climate" and get a reaction on "where we should be going and what we should be doing.” The county's Board of Zoning Appeals has already issued a special use permit for the 120-bed facility proposed to be built at the old Rappahannock ski area in Harris Hollow. “I’m coming before you a little premature,” Snead told the planning commissioners who will eventually be asked for site plan approval. “We just want to get our feet wet.” Snead said the Group Home Partnership is seeking funding through HUD (Housing and Urban Development) and will therefore have to meet the federal agency’s requirements for the water system to sene the facility. He noted that former county engineer Fanning Baumgardner is designing the water system which must also be approved by the State Water Control Board. In addition, Snead said, a sewer system will be installed for the group home. “This will not be an intensive care-type facility. We won't provide care for the chronic mentally or physically ill,” he told the planning commissioners. Plans call for the licensed home to serve indigents, mentally handicapped, disabled and elderly persons, Snead said. "It won’t be a nursing home. People won't go there to die. . .But we do plan to have housing for the elderly." “Our only role is to check the site plan," commissioner Newbill Miller responded. He expressed concern, however, that the Partnership secure approval for the sewer system before investing too much money in the project. If funds are spent for renovation of the ski lodge and other construction only to find that arrangements for sewage disposal can’t be worked out, 'the county would be in a difficult position to trv to (Continued on Page 3) Shooting Range Amendment To Be Drafted By McNear “Mr. Luke, Mr. Bowers, we bit the bullet!” announced chairman A. Y. Stokes as the planning commission agreed last week to put a request to allow shooting ranges by special use permit into amendment form. Support for the zoning ordinance amendment which would permit ranges in agricultural zones has been less than enthusiastic on the part of the planning commission. Charles Estes seemed to speak for his fellow commissioners when he noted at last Wednesday’s continued public hearing that an outright refusal to allow ranges anywhere in the county was not defensible. “You’ve spent six months wrestling with this," noted Robert Bowers, the proprietor of Blue Ridge Guns in Amissville who instigated the proposed zoning amendment. "I've had intruders in mv basement. Someone’s poisoned mv dog. . .I’m fighting for a safe place for sportsmen to shoot and to be taught hunter safety. I don’t think I’m wrong.” Bowers first proposed the zoning ordinance amendment to allow shooting ranges by special use permit in an agricultural zone last spring. At a public hearing in June, the planners voted unanimously to recommend denial of the draft amendment presented by Bowers’ attorney. Pet* Luke, maintaining that additional information < n safety precautions and specific controls were required. At later meetings. Luke presented copies of range ordinances adopted by other localities and data from the National Rifle Association on design and safety precautions. A second public hearing on a revised range amendment was held last month but the legal notice for the hearing was defective and the planning commissioners continued the session until last Wednesday. (Continued on Page 3) Jail Estimates At $115,000 By DAI’HNK HIT( HINSON KappnhanncM k Nt»* staff yy rilrr Architect Hunter Spencer presented 17 pages of blueprints to supervisors J. R. Latham and Hubert Gilkey on Thursday, clearing the way for the jail renovation project to be put out for bids. But instead of the $65,000 originally projected for the work, the estimate has climbed to $ 115,000. At an informal meeting Thursday afternoon with Latham, Gilkey, Sheriff W. A. Buntin and former county engineer Fanning Baumgardner. Spencer reported that the State Department of Corrections had first asked to have an independent cost estimate done on the finished plan for the jail renovation. But the Department settled instead on having an estimate from a local builder since there are no professional estimators closer than Charlottesville and the Washington metropolitan area where construction costs are higher. The figures given to the supervisors on Thursday came from El wood Smoot of Eulpeper, Spencer said. Explaining the $50,000 ncrease since his original sstimate last July. Spencer said "there are items in here ve had no idea we would be loing when we started." He added that the total ould come down slightly if Richmond okays his proposal o eliminate electronic locks, n addition, Spencer said, at east $4,000 will be cut by the Department of Correction's agreement to allow a reduction in the number of heads on a new sprinkler system. That sprinkler system—set at $8,000 in the data sheet supplied Thursday—is just one of the items responsible for the $50,000 hike, according to Spencer. Department of Correction's standards require installation of institutionaltype plumbing fixtures which are priced ‘‘abnormally high,” he said. The heating system must be replaced "instead of reworked as 1 originally thought,” Spencer added. According to Smoot’s estimates, plumbing and heating work alone will cost $24,000 while improvements to the electrical system will add another $12,300. The official in Fauquier who administers Rappahannock’s building inspection program has stipulated that a ramp for wheelchairs must be provided, adding an unexpected $4,500 to $5,000, the architect said. He noted that State Department of Corrections representatives say the ramp isn’t necessary since cell doors aren't wide enough to allow a wheelchair through. "So we’re paying for access tor handicapped visitors,” Spencer pointed out. The $115,000 doesn’t include cost of the heavy gauge 12-foot fence to en(Coniinued on Page 3) Committee Fails To Appropriate Deer Control Funds By THKHKS V HVA \OU)S Rappahannock New- VI rit.-r In a move that perplexed Smithsonian officials, a House appropriations subcommittee denied funding requested for two projects proposed as alternatives to the controversial hunt originally scheduled to solve deer overpopulation problems at the Research and Conservation Center near Front Royal. The committee action, taken last Thursday, deleted an appropriation of $650,(XX) to fence portions of the Center and to relocate large numbers of the white-tail deer herd. Originally, the Center had scheduled a hunt to harvest the local deer, who were interfering with the food supply and spreading a parasite fatal to some of the Center's inhabitants. Protests from conservation groups prompted a hearing November 4 by the House committee that oversees the funding of the Smithsonian. Hearings before the subcommittee were inconclusive, never resulting in a vote. Rep. Sidney Yates, D111., chairman of the subcommittee, was one of those strongly opposed to the hunt. After hearing from Zoo officials that the hunt was the only practical means of control, he said he had mixed feelings. Wildlife advocates testified that the Center should find alternate means of removing the native deer. With the majority of committee members still opposed to the hunt, Smithsonian officials called it off a few days after the hearing, and requested the $650,000 increase to pursue the suggested alternate controls. At its mark-up session last week, the subcommittee voted to strike from the bill the $450,000 to be used for a pen to enclose 1.000 to 1,500 acres to keep the exotic, endangered species separated from the white-tailed deer. They also rejected Yates’ request for $200,000 for a contract with Virginia Tech and the state game commission tor a study on deer relocation. Seventh District Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson said that he "hoped that Smithsonian officials in Washington will now reconsider their position with regard to the deer hunt at the Center.” Calling the subcommittee’s decision "a common sense victory for taxpayers," Robinson said that the committee's refusal to appropriate the extra money is a "vindication for responsible game management practices in preference to impractical and ineffective measures.” In Washington, Smithsonian Coordinator of Pul.... iinormation Larry Taylor said that there were no immediate plans to reschedule the hunt, and expressed surprise at the committee’s actions. “They had never promised us that they would appropriate the additional money if we canceled the hunt,” he said, "but we told them that we certainly hoped they would.” Taylor said that, without the hunt or the funds to control the deer otherwise, the Center was in a dilemma. Taylor said that the subcommittee could still add the additional appropriation, but there was no indication that they would do so. "Were trying to think of ways to deal with this problem.” Taylor said. “But for now, we’re stuck.”

Feds Loan Rare Bird To RCES Just as soon as the taxidermist finishes his work, youngsters at the Rappahannock elementary school will be able to see a bird of prey rare to the county. Thanks to the efforts of a Flint Hill family, a red faced screech owl will be on display at the school, on loan from the federal government. Hugo Sinnott was coming back over the mountain from Front Royal last week when the owl collided with his car. “It looked strange to me. I thought it was too big for a normal bird so I went back. I thought it might be something rare,” he said. Sinnott reported the accident to the sheriff s department and the local game warden. He learned that the bird of prey was covered under the federal Bald Eagle Act. "I wasn’t even supposed to have a feather of it. They told me I could be fined or even jailed if I kept it.” Sinnott asked the Front Royal Research and Conservation Center for help and a staff member came to his home to identify the bird as a red-faced screech owl and confirm that it was indeed dead. The Center’s representative said he’d never seen an example of the species in this area before, according to Sinnott. Advised by the authorities to notify the State Game Commission in Richmond, Sinnott balked. “1 want to keep the bird in the county,” he told the Rappahannock News last Thursday. “If it’s rare, it should be seen by the people here. It should be in the library or the school. If Richmond finds out about it, they’ll order the bird picked up. But that bird is an example of the wildlife that people move out to the country to see,” Sinnott maintained. In response to Sinnott's request for assistance, the News called Delegate Raymond R. “Andy” Guest in Front Royal. Guest tracked down the powersthat-be who could give Sinnott the permit necessary to keep the bird here. A day later, Sinnott had approval from federal authorities to have the owl stuffed and a promise that it would be loaned to the elementary Mount Everest, the world’s highest mountain, was named in 1865 for British surveyor Sir George Everest, National Geographic reports.

Contacted by the News, local taxidermist Rick Talley volunteered to donate his services. This time, the battle with beaurocratic red tape has a happy ending: principal Maggie Piper is delighted with the new exhibit for her school, Sinnott is satisfied that a rare example of the county’s wildlife will stay in the county and Andy Guest wishes that all his constituent problems could be solved so easily. But three-year-old Erika Sinnott has the biggest smile. Her "pretty bird” has a new home just down the road where she can stop by for a visit every once in a while.

. Shooting Range Amendment Moves Ahead (Continued from Page 1) Bob Liebold, Amissville resident and sound expert who had voiced opposition to the range amendment at earlier meetings, asked to see the development plan for the facility that Bowers hopes ultimately to build. “Based on the land he has, I don’t see how he can have a range there.” Amendment, Not Permit “The application is not for a range on Mr. Bowers’ property. It’s to allow a range on agriculturally zoned land in Rappahannock County (with a special use permit granted by the Board of Zoning Appeals),’’ responded commissioner David Fannon. The public hearing stage on the ordinance amendment is not the appropriate time to submit a development plan, he noted. Manfred Call reported that a number of avid enthusiasts of weaponry had been to his property to shoot. He maintained that it would be wise for the county to provide for a place to shoot in safety, adding that , shooting in residential areas posed a hazard. “I’m in favor of a facility that has safety and supervision." Sam Snead added a ‘‘strong second” to the * support for the range amendment, describing it as ‘‘a good thing for the county.” * “It might be a good thing but how many of you men would like to have it (a shooting range) next to your bedroom window?” asked Rose Bowie. She reported that she had already been disturbed by the noise of gunfire coming from the vicinity of Blue Ridge Guns. “That was hunters,” countered Bowers. “Don’t blame that on us. Don’t blame Blue Ridge Guns." Not Ready To Vote Fannon noted that the planning commissioners had received a lot of information since the last public hearing. m REALTY WORLDSi/een dt.

V. drawing December 23rd no purchase necessary “I thought we’d have more by tonight,” he said, adding that information requested from the National Rifle Association on the issue of shooting ranges had not been received by the commissioners, “I'm not ready to vote at this time (on the proposed ordinance amendment),” he concluded. Luek recalled that the commissioners, after recommending denial of the original range proposal, had expressed willingness to act on a revised amendment within 30 days following receipt of information which he had presented at last month’s hearing. “I think I've kept my end of the bargain,” Luke said, adding that he’d brought the NRA experts to the October meeting. “Now I’m asking the commissioners to keep their end—to vote tonight, aye or nay." He pointed out that if the commission recommends approval of the shooting range amendment, there will be at least two more public hearings (one by the board of supervisors and a second by the board of zoning appeals) before his client can build a range. In testimony at last month’s public hearing, three types of ranges—safety, impact and skeet and trap—were discussed, said commissioner Werner Krebser. “Your amendment doesn’t address a specific type of range. It leaves it wide open," he told Luke. The attorney maintained that it doesn’t matter whether or not the amendment specifies what type of range will be permitted as long as it stipulates that the range must be constructed so as to prevent the escape of any projectiles. The designations are “just labels,” he said. Luke argued that any type of range could be constructed and still not ' pose a hazard as long as the range is built to the safety parameters set out in the proposed amendment. “I’m willing tonight to specify basically what we want and have Dick McNear (the professional planner who is currently assisting with revision of the county’s zoning laws) prepare something we can present to the board of supervisors,” said commissioner Newbill Miller. “I don’t disagree but I don t think that’s exactly what Mr. Luke wants,” added Fannon. While Miller discussed noise controls with Liebold, the rest of the planning commissioners huddled with McNear to review exactly what the ordinance amendment should stipulate. They agreed on caliber limitation and placing the burden of proof on the applicant for a range permit to show that the facility is designed so as to prevent bullets from escaping from the site. Apply Existing Controls Returning to the table, Miller endorsed Liebold’s suggestion on including noise regulations from the zoning ordinance's article 13 rather than setting a decibel level limit on noise as measured at the property line of a range site. He added that he wasn’t in favor of amending the ordinance to add shooting ranges as a commercial use and then requiring a rezoning to that land designation. “If the range ceases to exist, we'd be left with commercial zoning in an agricultural area," he said. Those in favor of the range amendment want a safe place to shoot, while others who are opposed don’t want a land use which they fear may prove to be "obnoxious,” Miller noted. “1 can see both points,” he said, maintaining that application of article 13’s requirements is the most effective way to regulate shooting ranges. Rather than including safety regulations as a part of the ordinance amendment. McNear suggested that the applicant provide proposed safety rules for review and approval by the BZA as part of the special use permit process. He also proposed that setback distances from adjoining property lines be stipulated as an. alternative to minimum lot size for a range site. "The burden of proof should be on the applicant to show that he can meet the standards.” McNear concluded. "I think you understand what we're interested in." Miller responded. Enforcement Question In a final point, McNear agreed to check with commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner on whether the ordinance amendment can be written in such a wav that it can be enforced by the sheriffs department instead of the zoning administrator. "I don’t want to go out in the middle of the night and investigate (when a complaint is received that permit conditions such as hours of operation are being violated).” said Konick. "What will I do?” He maintained that restrictions set by the BZA as part of special use permit for a range constitute a “safety issue" as opposed to a zoning issue. "My job ought to end when the occupancy permit is granted." Clarification The editorial . in the November 18 edition of the Rappahannock News referred to a shooting which recently occurred on a Ben Venue hillside. Mrs. Louise King Eastham, owner of Ben Venue Farm, telephoned the News with a complaint that the editorial inferred the incident happened on her farm. The shooting took place on property visible from the Ben Venue crossroads, not on Ben Venue Farm itself. The News regrets any confusion arising from the November 18 editorial. Group Home Concept Presented To Planners (Continued from Page 1) close (the group home) down," Miller said. But he voiced support for the concept of a licensed group home on the ski area site. "It’s a good use for something that's been a thorn in Rappahannock's side for a long time—if you can take care of the sewage.” Responsible Agencies Baumgardner noted that the county doesn't have jurisdiction over the sewer system proposed for the group home. "The health department and the State Water Control Board determines if the sewage disposal is adequate,” he said, adding that the county has to accept the findings of the two responsible agencies. "I don’t think we have any choice.” agreed planning commissioner James Swindler. Before issuing a discharge permit to the group home for a sewage disposal system, experts from the State Water Control Board and health department will check all phases of the design, Baumgardner added. "I've had dealings with them before and I've seen them make more than the average number of mistakes,” Miller countered. Continuing with a review of development plans, Snead reported that the Group Home Partnership has purchased an additional 25 acres plus the ski area's 75 commercially zoned acres. The extra land was necessary to allow for a sewage discharge point, he said. Snead explained that the Partnership would like to cut 10 to 15 acres from the commercially zoned tract and designate that portion as the group home site. "That’s better for us in terms of financing," he said. “We'd like to downzone the rest. We have no need for that large of a commercial site.” Ten to 15 acres of commercial property would provide all the space that the group home will need to start out as well as room for expansion, he added. "For financing, it would be better for us to have just 15 acres commercial— better for the county, too," he maintained. “I think so,” Miller agreed. But he stresses that the balance, if downzoned to conservation, must be kept in 50 acre lots. "That’s the law. . .I’d be in favor of downzoning if you can comply with the law.” Nothing that it will take at least nine months to get funding > through HUD, Snead assured the commissioners that development of the ski area site into a licensed adult home is “right now in the crawling stages." “If you understand the implications of subdividing that lot, I don’t see any problems.” Miller replied. He repeated that only 50 acres can be downzoned to conservation and still meet minimum lot size for that district. The balance, he pointed out, must be kept in commerical zoning in order to comply with zoning regulations. The Partnership is '‘looking a long way down the road" before construction can begin on the facility, he said. "We're going to have a lot of money invested in this. We want to avoid all the Jail Estimates Climb To $115,000 (Continued from Page 1) close the 22-foot-by-30-foot outdoor exercise area, mandated by Department of Corrections. And while the architect is trying to persuade Corrections officials to drop a requirement for electronic locks ($1,000 apiece), he warned the supervisors that the powers-that-be in Richmond may hold out for the installation of special security doors throughout the jail which could add an additional $48,000. If so, the renovation cost would reach the $150,000 “ball park” estimate given by Department of Correction’s architects last April. Renovation work outlined by Spencer in his review of the blueprint included: —construction of a noncontact visitors' area with viewing screen of 7/«-inch bullet-proof glass and speaker panels set up for two visitors and two prisoners, — replacement of the existing stairway with steel stairs with cement treads, — addition of sheet rock over the existing plaster walls, a subfloor of plywood with vinyl tile covering over i he old wood floors, suspended ceiling and fluorescent lighting. Doors to the dayroom and other doors to which prisoners will have access will be security-type, hollow metal doors with standard prison locks. The cell block will have heavy-weight, maximum security doors. The existing opening to the basement will be closed off, eliminating access to the basement from inside the jail. All the windows to which prisoners have contact will also be replaced with standard steel security windows with steel bars and expanded metal mesh. Spencer reported that basic construction work on the jail could be completed in less than three months. Specialty items such as electronic locks, security doors and security windows will take 14 to 15 weeks, he added. From start of renovation work until the jail is in operation will be approximately five months, he noted. “It looks good. When do we start?” asked Gilkey. Spencer said he was meeting with Department of Corrections representatives on Wednesday and would know then the final word on the electronic locks and security doors. ‘Til let you know as soon as 1 get back from Richmond.” As to funding for the $115,000 renovation project, Gilkey reported that the county is eligible for state reimbursement on 50 percent of jail construction costs up to $100,000. Delegate Raymond R. ‘‘Andy’’ Guest said on Monday that the Department of Corrections has included reimbursement tor Rappahannock in its 1983 minibudget. The Department’s proposed appropriations are now before the Secretary of Public Safety for review and if the mini-budget clears that office, it will be forwarded to Governor Charles Robb for inclusion in the budget he will present to the General Assembly in January, Guest said. Corrections officials are optimistic that the reimbursement for Rappahannock's jail construction will be funded, according to the Front Royal farmer and businessman. “But with the shortfall in state revenues, something has to be cut from somewhere,” Guest warned. ‘Tve asked the Secretary of Public Safety for favorable consideration (of Rappahannock's request for reimbursement) and I’ll stay in contact with his office.” the delegate promised. More than 17 percent of Florida’s population is over 65 years old. National Geographic says. stumbling blocks we can. . .If we're going to have problems, we want to know about it." Snead countered uui retaining a piece as large as 25 acres designated as commercial won't benefit the county. "But it’s all right with me—it's more valuable land." Planning commissioner Werner Krebser interjected that the Partnership may want to expand, adding more dormitories to increase bed capacity provided that the sewage system is adequate. "With a 25 acre commercial piece of ground, you can put an awful lot of dormitories on that." + + + + The red planet.

Mon -Fri. Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc. Member. Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 25. 1982 Give Thanks It’s time to forget the negative for a few days. Thanksgiving is the traditional count-your-blessings holiday and folks in Rappahannock County have a longer list of blessings than many Americans. We owe it to ourselves and our county to stop and reflect on the unique environment that we have around us. We share a sense of community and a feeling of belonging. In school, our children are individuals, not just a name connected to a face. In church, we know the family in the next pew. The storekeepers don’t need three identifications and a life history when we write a check—they see us every day. If we run afoul of the police, we’re treated like honest citizens who’ve made a mistake rather than hardened criminals. We get the benefit of the doubt until we show continued disregard for the law. The people we see on county business know most of us by name. When we drive down the highway, acquaintances and strangers alike wave hello. Maybe everybody does know everyone else’s business but they know our troubles too and are there to give a helping hand or a kind word. This is small town America. Its qualities are shared by other rural communities across the country. We have that here in Rappahannock and we have more. We can find heart lifting vistas around every comer. Our views of the mountains, rolling hills and fields make depression easier to vanquish. Surrounded by all the county’s beauty, a smile comes much more naturally than a frown. It isn’t imagination. Ask any new arrival. The air in Rappahannock is clearer, the stars bigger, the moon brighter and the sky bluer. We may lack some urban conveniences but what we have in exchange is worth so much more. Coming home is an important part of this nation's Thanksgiving rituals. We should all be thankful that our home is Rappahannock. This Was The News In Bygone Rappahannock Times... 10 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NE.WS GAME WAS abundant in Rappahannock County in 1972. The Rappahannock News of November 23 of that year reported 92 deer checked in at stations by the second day of the season. According to Game Warden Irvin L. Kenyon some illegal shooting had taken place. A doe and two fawns were killed and left in the field near Flint Hill. r\ Dr. William H. Young of Alexandria and Caatleton was reappointed by Governor Holton to the Professional Advisory Board on Mental Health and Mental Retardation and elected chairman of the Board for the coming year. The Piedmont Environmental Council was formed on Saturday November 18, after months of quiet planning. The new citizens’ organization pledged to work for “orderly planned growth of Virginia’s nine eastern Piedmont counties from the Potomac River to Charlottesville. ” The meeting elected B. Powell Harrison of Leesburg as its first president. Arthur W. Arundel, chairman of the steering committee, said that the Council would seek to “give the individual farmer, businessman and property owner a firm voice in the complex business of planning and decisions affecting the future of this area. ” Frank McGee of Washington, Va. was elected to membership in the American Angus Association at St. Joseph, Missouri. Paul’s Maytag in Front Royal was offering mattresses and box springs from $29.95. Lindsay Eastham had celebrated his 9th birthday Sunday at the Ben Venue home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. T.L. Eastham. His guests included Richard Burke, Mark Eastham, Carlton Harper, Michael Williams, Tom Hardy Eastham and Douglas Nichols. At local theatres were Treasure Island, Brother of the Wind, The Pigkeepers Daughter and Southern Comforts. 20 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS COUNCIL members for the town of Washington deliberated for three hours over proposed changes in town light fixtures. The council decided to replace the 1000L fixtures with 2500L along U.S. Route 211 and at each street corner and entrance to the town. At F.L. White and Co. in Culpeper, slacks were on sale for $7.95. The sale included some pleated slacks with regular bottoms and some plain fronts with ivy league bottoms. Front page news on November 22, 1962 was the establishment of the Rappahannock County Library. The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors had alloted $1,000 to the library on November 7. Mrs. B.M. Miller, a Trustee for the library, was at the meeting and told of the progress being made on the building. She stated that the roof had been repaired, floors repaired and sanded, the interior painted, window panes replaced and the grounds cleaned up. The library, an old church, had been purchased in the spring of 1960 with local contributions and foundation grants. All work to date had been financed by donations.

Rappahannock Heritage,.TRr^N~p-B - I Mining Still Threat Izaak Walton League Told The cancellation of Marline’s leases in northern Virginia does not mean the end of uranium exploration in this area, metallurgist Ted Scott told members of Rappahannock’s Izaak Walton League at their annual dinner meeting last Saturday at the Corner Post in Flint Hill. ‘‘Other companies are buying up gas, oil and mineral rights,” Scott said. “As uranium prices go up, uranium exploration will increase.” Scott is a board member of the Piedmont Environmental Council (PEC) and one of the authors of PEC’s report, Uranium: a Virginia Concern. Marline’s interest in local mineral rights has been a matter of concern to PEC for some time. -Marline officials recently announced cancellation of their leases and their intent to concentrate on uranium exploration in Pittsylvania County in the Danville basin, where substantial exploratory drilling has already takgP place. Company spokesmen cited consolidation .or resources as a reason for cancellation locally, but opposition here has been much stronger than in southern Virginia. Scott’s talk before the group gave an overview of the beginnings of uranium exploration in Virginia. The government began extensive exploration in this and many other areas as an outgrowth of the severe energy crisis of . 1973-74. “Then, in 1980, a number of us became aware of helicopters flying around Northern Virginia,” Scott said. “It was Marline.” rur muse uniammar wun the properties of uranium, Scott gave a brief description, along with a chart of uranium’s decay elements. The usefulness of this mineral and its dangers to life revolve around the same property - its unstable atomic nucleus. Uranium changes, with the nucleus giving off radioactivity with each change, to other elements which in turn change to still other elements. The decay elements, or “daughters” may have a half-life of a few seconds or minutes indicating rapid change accompanied by intense radioactivity. Others have a half-life of what might as well be called forever. Although uranium companies point out that uranium is present everywhere, a fact that has some truth, Scott said, the removal of the ore from its protective coating of earth greatly increases its potential for human harm. Scott’s slides pictured uranium mines in the West, where both open pit and underground mining methods are employed. Both techniques present some of the same safety hazards: problems of pumping and storing water which has come into contact with fractured ore and therefore contains water-soluble components of uranium and radium. “All mining of uranium has been done so far in the West,” Scott commented after showing slides of ponds and trenches of water pumped from mines. "Imagine a mine site in Virginia where rainfall is at least four times greater.” Another huge safety problem is presented by the mill tailings pile, the solids remaining alter the removal of the easily available uranium. This waste ac cumulates daily, containing particles of radioactive material and posing a disposal problem for which there is presently no solution. Radioactivity from such piles is released into the air, it is spread by ground water, eroded by wind, and disturbed unknowingly by people or animals. Of great concern also, Scott said, is the land of regulation applying to uranium mining in Virginia. There are no Federal controls on uranium mining or substantial federal and state standards for regulating and uranium industry. A special study committee of the Virginia Coal and Energy Commission resulted in draft legislation aimed at monitoring uranium exploration and calling for a moratorium on uranium mining and milling until July 1, 1983. Attempts were made by Marline to bypass the Virginia Coal and Energy Commission, and there is no reason to believe that another company would act in a more responsible manner, Scott said. In between “exploration” and “mining” lies a host of activities which disturb the ground, remove uranium ore from its protective covering of earth, and expose the public to dangers from radiation to varying degrees, he continued. One of PEC’s objectives in the publication of its uranium report was to call for a clearer definition of exploration. Scott urged members of the Rappahannock Chapter of the Izaak Walton League to express their concerns to local delegates and to the speaker of the house of the General Assembly. The concensus of League members present was to support Scott’s and PEC’s positions on uranium exploration in northern Virginia. — Rappahannock New* Photo/Wm. Young METALLURGIST TED SCOTT addressed the annual dinner meeting of the Rappahannock chapter of the Izaak Walton League last Saturday. Scott outlined for the members some of his concerns about uranium exploration and possible mining in Virginia. ~From Both Barrels State Agency Housecleaning By GEORGE BOWLES The love affair between Virginia’s government and her business community, while legendary, is usually as discreet as, say, a romance between a minister's wife and the head deacon. Occasionally, however, it becomes so passionate and steamy that discretion is thrown to the winds. So it was last month when Vepco found itself in a bit of a scrape with the federal Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA, it seems, planned to levy fines of $53,OCX) against Vepco for allegedly failing to prevent toxic wastes from leaking from a Richmond storage site into a nearby creek. The state agency responsible for policing such storage procedures and making certain they do not endanger our streams and rivers is the Water Control Board. Understandably, Vepco sought to have the fines reduced. Officials of the company contacted officials of the Water Control Board and asked for a letter, to be presented to the EPA, assuring the federal agency that, as far as the Commonwealth was concerned, Vepco’s procedures were adequate for controlling ground water problems. Not so unaerstanaaoty. Water Control Board executive director Robert V. Davis promptly went along with the request. Incredibly, he told Vepco to draft the kind of letter needed and send it over to him for signature. At this point Bill McKelway, an enterprising reporter for the Richmond Times-Dispatch, got wind of the story. He dug out the details, and his piece landed on the newspaper's front page. Those details are interesting, indeed. One of the drafters of the letter for Vepco was A. W. Hadder, a senior official in the utility’s Environmental Service Department. It develops he is also Mr. Davis’ brother-in-law. Mr. Hadder reportedly delivered the draft to Mr. Davis on Thursday, Oct. 14. Such “staffing” of the letter as was done took place the next day. On Sunday, Oct. 17, Mr. Davis signed the final document, backdating it to the 15th. Mr. Hadder picked up the letter on Sunday at Davis’ home and rushed it back to Vepco. It appears the bureaucracy, properly movitated, can move with dispatch. Ironically, while Mr. Davis was signing the letter designed to help get Vepco off the hook, one of his investigators was filing a report with the EPA which found that Vepco had not done all that was “possible or necessary" to prevent the spill. The investigator, Steven C. Williams, properly lodged a formal complaint with his superiors about the Vepco draft letter on Oct. 15, the day it was circulated for staff comments. Other members of the Water Control Board Staff also voiced complaints, and in the end the letter was toned down to a degree. The Vepco-suggested assurance that the utility’s controls were adequate was deleted, but Mr. Davis refused to go along with a staff recommendation that the letter include a statement making it clear the toxic substance readings at the site were too high. The whole episode is disturbing. The Water Control Board is a regulatory agency to which the citizens of the state are entitled to look for the protection of their water resources and themselves. The thought that it can be manipulated so easily by potential polluters is less than reassuring. Beyond that, the age-old problem in Virginia obviously is still with us. The romance between the members of our corporate community and the state agencies which are supposed to regulate them continues in full flower. But when our corporations actually look to a regulatory agency for protection when they violate the regulations the agency is sworn to enforce, then that is going a bit too far. When an agency willingly agrees to provide that protection, the romance is clearly out of hand. To the extent that this kind of thing is going on, it’s time for the governor to step in and clean house. The Water Control Board might be a good place to start. Emergency Medical Services Councils Want Ten For Life Violators of moving traffic laws will be $10 poorer and the State Emergency Medical Services Council will be richer if the legislation proposed by the EMS Council is passed by the General Assembly in its 1983 session. "Ten for Life” is the name of the proposal supported by the Council. It would add $10 to the fines levied for moving traffic violations, to be used for the support of the Virginia EMS system. The proposal comes at a time of cutbacks in federal funding for state emergency councils and places some of the responsibility for the suffering caused by trafficrelated injuries where many rescue workers feel it belongs with those convicted of such violations as speeding, reckless driving, and driving while intoxicated. Virginia State Police records for 1980 show that over 90 percent of crashes involved traffic violations while drinking drivers accounted for 23 percent of fatal crashes. Paul Poling, president of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Emergency Medical Services Council, said that as presently proposed, the money generated by the “Ten for Life” program would be equally distributed to the sixteen Emergency Medical Services Councils throughout the state. Poling said that the proceeds will help fund all of the programs supported by the regional EMS systems: emergency medical technicians training - instructor reimbursement; Virginia rescue squad assistance fund; statewide air medical evacuation system; direction of statewide EMS program; public education and information; and EMS system evaluation. Of special interest to Rappahannock rescue squads, according to Poling, is the instructor reimbursement program. “We have so much interest here now in training,” Poling said. "Our instructors have been working all along with no reimbursement.” Also of great importance to Rappahannock is the rescue squad assistance fund, which directly assists local crews in buying equipment. Delegate Raymond R. “Andy” Guest said that the proposal would need a lot ot strong support in order to pass the General Assembly in its short session this year. “If it is referred to the courts committee, it could get lost in the shuffle," Guest said. He expressed his own interest in the legislation. Poling and Guest both suggested that citizens served by emergency crews write to their elected officials to encourage their support. Poling also said that anyone seeking more information could call him at 937-5205. Task Force To Hear Public Comment On Drunk Driving La ws The Governor’s Task Force to Combat Drunk Driving will hold a series of public hearings around the state to provide concerned citizens an opportunity to present their views on the problems of drunk driving. Hearings in Northern Virginia are set for December 9; the first at 2 p.m. in the Board of Supervisors meeting room, Massey Building, 4100 Chain Bridge Road in Fairfax, and the second at 7 p.m. in the new Fairfax County Courthouse at 4110 Chain Bridge Road. The task force asks that comments be restricted to specific aspects of the problem, current policies in Virginia, or suggestions for changes in the policies. Persons wishing to speak should send a written request, not later than November 30, to Wayne S. Ferguson, Virginia Highway and Transportation Research Council, Box 3817 University Station, Charlottesville, Virginia 22903. The request should provide the person’s name, address, telephone number, and preferred speaking times. Speakers will be preregistered in the order that their requests are received and will be allotted 10 minutes for their presentations. Persons who do not send in written requests may register at the hearing, and will be ' given five minutes to present their views if time allows. The task force also will accept written statements for the record. V V

Madrigal singing was brought to England from Italy in the 10th century and was. at first, an informal entertainment at the castles and country homes of the landed gentry. During the twelve days of the Christmas season, there was much entertaining and singing of madrigals. The Madrigal Singers of Shenandoah College and Conservatory of Music began in 1906 as a separate choral group devoted to the performance of madrigal and chamber literature. The group consists of costumed singers, four instrumentalists, and three trumpets. Following their initial procession they will sing and dance during the dinner and will present an after-dinner concert prior to the serving of the traditional flaming plum pudding. The evening will close with group carol singing. Tickets for the evening which includes dinner and entertainment in the Renaissance tradition are $13.00 per person and are available at the Shenandoah Box Office. 17031 607-3898.

Development — I (Continued from Page 1) “Well, it’s the cost,” noted Krebser. “You might think in terms of 50 acre lots." planning commissioner Newbill Miller advised, referring to the zoning ordinance provision which allows for 50-acre lot subdivisions to be served by private roads rather than roads built to state standards. “It would be more viable to have 50 acre lots than to put that road in to state specifications." Questioned by telephone on Monday, resident highway engineer Don Askew estimated that a state standard road will cost $100,000 per mile. He expressed concern not over the internal roads for the proposed subdivision but on the Route 662 access from Route 522. "That would have to be upgraded.” he said, noting that the formula used to determine vehicular traffic generated by a subdivision fixes trips per day from Sommarbeth Farm at 168. The existing access “just can't take it,” Askew said, describing Route 662 as “an old rural horse and buggy road." The cost of upgrading Route 662 (1.28 miles) and building the internal subdivision roads to state standards will be between $200,000 and $300,000, according to the resident engineer. As to taking money for improvements to Route 662 from the county’s secondary road budget. Askew noted that Rappahannock's total budget for secondary work this year is $340,000. Upgrading the existing "good old rural farm-to-market road” would take almost half that total, he said. "It’s not in the current six-year plan for improvement. . .It will never be in the six-year plan (with present traffic loads)," the resident engineer said. He noted, however, that if the 24-lot subdivision is approved without requiring the developer to upgrade Route 662, the residents of that subdivision could conceivably bring enough influence to bear to have it added to the six-year plan. “Then it could take money away from the rest of the secondary system." Retreat Center The proposed 24-lot subdivision, if approved, will be carved from the old Dawson farm located between Flint Hill and Huntly. The Arlington Diocese also has a contract to purchase approximately 200 acres of the Dawson farm, according to James Bayne, who, with hs wife, Diane, managed the Catholic Church’s Bethany House retreat in Washington. The contract is contingent upon issuance of a special use permit for a retreat center, he said. The retreat center will utilize the existing main house and barns north ot the proposed subdivision and will offer a continuation of services formerly provided by Bethany House, including programs for families, engaged couples contemplating marriage and clergymen, Bayne said. The Board of Zoning Appeals' public hearing on the special use permit application for the Catholic retreat center is set for December 10. Experienced Developers Wiltshire Turner, Ltd., the overseas investment firm that has proposed a 24-lot development north of Flint Hill, "was formed in 1982 as a broad based property development enterprise with the sills and management expertise to provide a service for the increasing number of overseas and US investors wishing to participate in the American property market,” acording to the firm’s brochure. The brochure notes that the company recognized the tremendous growth record and the future potential of the Northern Virginia region which has a good balance between high technology industry and the influence of the U.S. government administrative center in Washington. Its objectives are listed as: 1. To identify profitable development opportunities on the Eastern Seaboard of the United States, specifically in Northern Virginia, Washington, D.C. and Maryland. 2. To provide a complete and efficient management service which researches the feasibility of each project; organizes the purchase and finance; supervises the construction and then sells the completed development. 3. To invest a minimum of five percent in every development itself and find joint venture partners or investor groups for the balance of the investment capital required. 4. To sell each project, on or before completion, to an end user rather than retain an investment position for the medium or long term. Farm subdivision is one of seven specific types of property development on which Wiltshire Turner Limited concentrates, according to the brochure. It notes that many farms under 1,000 acres are proving unprofitable for general farming purposes. The company plans to buy such farms which are suitable in terrain and location and subdivide and sell them to satisfy the increasing demand for larger tracts of land for second or holiday homes in the country.” The other six types of development on which the firm is concentrating are retirement homes - apartments for the elderly, small office condominiums, hotels - country inns, townhouses, period office refurbishment and specialist, up market shopping centers. Wiltshire Turner Limited is a property subsidiary of the John R Wiltshire Group Limited, a $200 million turnover company founded in 1810 with its primary business activities in the UK covering industrial and commercial construction and property development business, according to the brochure. In addition, the company has branches involved in specialist interior contracting in the Channel Islands, France, Saudi Arabia and Singapore. Among the brochure’s partial list of the John E. Wilshire Group’s corporate clients are British Petroleum, DuPont (UK) Limited, Esso Petroleum Company Limited, Government of Australia, Government of Malaysia, IBM Limited, Safeways, Hyatt Regency Hotel, Shell Research, Saudi Research and Development Company Limited, and United Kingdom government entities, including British Airways, British Gas Corporation, British Telecom, Home Office, Ministry of Defense and National Coal Board.

Farm Expenses And Gross Income Up Gross income and farm production expenses for Virginia farmers will reach record highs in 1982 according to figures released today from the office of the Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Net fam\ income for 1982 will be about $167 million. The gross farm income is predicted to be $1,993 billion, up 1.4 percent from 1981; total farm production expenses of $1,845 biliion are also up 1.4 percent. Relative bright spots among the prices received by farmers were for sheep and lambs, turkeys, tobacco, apples and peaches. Other prices received by farmers throughout 1982 were generally below those received in 1981. Virginia’s livestock sector showed production strengths (1982 compared to 1981) for several principal enterprises. Namely, the production of cattle and calves is up 6 percent; broilers up 5 percent; turkeys up 3 percent; and eggs and milk at output levels obtained in 1981. Generally, relative lower farm prices for major field crops and less acres planted in peants and flue-cure.d tobacco account for most of the reductions in crop income. On the other hand, year-end production of many Virginia crops would have been lower without favorable weather in many parts of the State during late summer and early fall. As an example of the influence of weather on production, the August expected yield for corn was put at 90 bushels per acre and the October estimate was 96. This added 7 percent to total corn production for 1982. For the same time period (August estimates and October estimates), fluecured tobacco moved from 1850 pounds per acre to 1880 (2 percent increase); burley tobacco from 2250 pounds per acre to 2400 pounds per acre (7 percent increase); peanuts moved from 2900 pounds per acre to 2950 (2 percent increase); and the August and October yield estimates for soybeans held at 28 bushels per acre. Rainfall was very timely and pulled soybeans out of some possible periods of stress. THE BIG APPLE—Betty Sisk holds a giant starks-spur, a cross between a winesap and a stamen, that was picked from a tree in the family’s yard in Sperry ville. The fruit measures 17 inches in circumference and weighs one pound, 14 ounces. "You can make a whole pie with that one apple!” her husband Russell proudly reported. USDA Coverage Changed High production farmers will be able to get higher crop insurance coverage next spring without paying increased premium costs to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Federal Crop Insurance Corporation. Merritt Sprague, Manager of the USDA Corporation, explained that higher coverage will be available to farmers who plant corn, cotton, grain sorghum, rice, soybeans, wheat, and barley in the spring of 1983 under changes in the Corporation's individual yield coverage plan. The 1982 plan required farmers to provide satisfactory acreage and production records for at least the most recent three years a crop was grov n out ot a 10-year-period. Areaaverage yields were used tor years for which the farmer had no records. Under the new plan for 1983 spring planted crops, the producer's records will continue to be used in the same manner except that coverage is based on a revised yield formula. That formula: Production records for at least the most recent 3 years are compared with county yield averages to arrive at a producer yield index. This index then is applied to the county yield average as computed by the USDA’s Statistical Reporting Service for those years of the ten year base period for which the farmer has inadequate records. ‘‘We believe this approach will better reflect the risks taken by top producers.” Sprague said. "Farmers will be able to qualify for higher production guarantees without increasing their per acre insurance cost. This plan will make crop insurance a more attractive component in a farmer’s risk management plan.". Sprague said the USDA Corporation has devised an additional plan on grain sorghum, corn, and small grains 10 provide increased coverage to farmers who feed their crop production to livestock or poultry and who don't have the records to qualify for the individual yield coverage plan. This modified individual . yield plan requries actual * records for only one year plus records for two years which • may be certified by the . USDA's Agricultural j Stabilization and Con- ' servation Service. The L'SDA • certified records are based on ■ the best available in- . formation. Consideration will be given ] to the producer's livestock • enterprises, feeding records. • fertilization program. soil and water conservation . practices. and other ; management practices. The ; remaining years of the 10year base period will be calculated by adjusting the county average as computed by the Statistical Reporting Service. The individual certified yield plan becomes effective with the 1^83 crop year. Those producers who acquire acceptable yield records for three years will become eligible for the individual yield coverage plan. Under the individualcertified yield plan, higher coverages require additional premium per acre; under the individual yield coverage plan, they do not. For both plans, the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation will assist in maintaining the records at no charge to the u c e r. Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service offices wHI provide the appropriate forms and assist farmers in establishing yield data. + + + + The brown pelican scoops fish and seawater into itslarge throat pouch, National ‘ Geographic World magazine . says.

Carol -FOOT FACTSDr. Bruce Vogel Podiatrist Foot Specialist BURNING FEET Many people complain of hot, burning feet. In the summer they may feel that this is a normal occurance. Of course in the winter they begin to worry. Burning feet can be an indication of certain metabolic diseases such as diabetes or arthritis, or even gout. It can be caused by a problem with the red blood cells or even a dietary deficiency. At the same time, many people complain that their calluses burn. Most of these problems can be treated successfully and many times are an important warning sign of disease. Remember - few of us appreciate our health until we lose it. A public service with the aim of promoting a better foot health environment.

Keeping It All In Perspective A record of 17 losses and only a single win is nothing to cheer about. But while Teresa McLawhorn, the irrepressible coach of the Lady Panthers. isn’t cheering, she’s at least found a few bright spots to point out after her second season at RCHS. "The girls came a long way. They’ve gained skills. They were a very young group when the year started (two freshman and three junior starters and two senior reserves). They just haven t learned how to win. That will come with experience," the Panther mentor said. "The girls got very, very depressed and they got very, very frustrated, It’s hard to get up for a game and then lose and lose and lose,” she acknowledged. “But if they hadn’t gotten so frustrated, they could have learned a lot more." The Lady Panthers put on a better show than their 1-17 record indicates. “We lost two district games by one point, an overtime game by two points and another game by two points. We wouldn’t have lost the close ones if they knew how to win,’’ McLawhorn maintained. Proper Trout Speaker Datus C. Proper, author and avid fisherman, will be the guest speaker at the Northern Virginia Chapter Trout Unlimited meeting Dec. 2 at 7 p.m. at the Falls Church High School cafeteria. Proper, author of the recently released book What the Trout Said, will share his theories about the design and construction of artificial flies. Gymnastics For Fun Class Set A new Gymnastics for Fun class for Level III gymnasts who are not currently enrolled in the parks and recreation gymnastics program will begin Dec. 6 at the National Guard Armory from 7-8:15 p.m. Tuition will be $34 for nine week classes. This special class is for the Level III gymnasts who did not return from last year’s program plus the Level II gymnasts who were promoted to Level III and did not return. Class emphasis will be on non-competitive gymnastics. The program will be for the gymnast who wants to enjoy gymnastics for the sport, for self improvement or pleasure only, without any pressure to try out for competition or attempt higher skills. It will be geared more to what the individual gymnast wants to work on. The class will move as a group from one piece of equipment to another because two other classes will be using the equipment during the same time frame. “We have had a number of calls from parents asking for such a program because they either could not afford the time, money, or both, for their child to be on a team or just wanted a program for the child to keep up her skills and practice for personal enjoyment,” commented Donn Kuse, program coordinator for the department. “If this program is successful, we will keep it in the overall program.” The class will be handled by Lynn Aldridge. For more information and registration for Gymnastics for Fun class, call the department, 347-8630.

Silas A. Beahm, Administrator TFRIiR- Path JENKINS AUCTI0NEERIN6 SERVICE! John Walker Jenkins, Auctioneer Washington, Va. 675-3325 987-6211 “When the girls missed a shot—something they think they should have had—-I’d lose them for two minutes. They'd get so down on themselves! They need to be able to shake off their mistakes. That’s something 1 think they’ve gone a long way toward this season.” Next year, it will be a bunch of seasoned veterans who take the court. Karen Jordan, who averaged an impressive 16.1 percent and shot 53 percent her freshman year, will return to lead the Panthers’ offensive punch. Natalie Butler, another one of this year’s freshmen, developed poise and tenacious defensive skills that she’ll bring back next season. Aggressive senior guards Kim Settle and speedy Donna Atkins showed more control with each contest and should continue their much more disciplined style of play in 1983. Ann Tupper learned how to be a force on both the offensive and defensive boards and that should be another plus factor for next year’s Lady Panthers. Only seven girls came out for basketball in Ms. Mac's second year as varsity coach. The short roster left the coach with substitution problems and a squad that tended to fade in the fourth quarter. She's already taking steps to head off a repeat performance. "I have to start recruiting now, -looking tor ballplayers. There are a couple of older girls talking about going out already and we'll also have some talent moving up from jayvee." She's optimistic on next year’s odds, considering the make-up of this year’s district opponents. “Most of the Bull Run District teams ; are losing a lot of seniors. They had the experience this year. We should have a little more of it next season, the coach noted. “But it s a stroooong district. I didn't realize how strong it was! Sideline Show Panther fans couldn’t help but notice McLawhorn's sideline shennanigans. antics that threatened her with a technical foul on more than one occasion. She stomped, she yelled, she made faces, she threw her hands up to the heavens, and got down on her knees, looking for help from a higher authority than the refs on the basketball court. There was a reason behind McLawhorn’s bench behavior. “It was partly a psychological tiling for the girls. It convinced them I hadn’t given up. And it also helped with the officials,” she maintained. “One of the officials admitted to me that it was a sad thing but true that Rappahannock had lost for so long, the officials were a lot looser when they worked a game for us. So I started raisin’ hell whenever I saw errors in the rule calls. It got around. All of the officials knew me and they knew what I was doing. And I think they knew I was generally right every time I yelled at them. I think that's why I never got hit with a technical.” Looking back on the 1982 season. McLawhorn sees disappointments but she also finds reasons to pop out her characteristic grin. She has a veteran team with improved skills coming back and at the front of the scoring attack, she has a talented sophomore with a natural shot who averaged over 16 points a game her first year on varsity. “I was trying to teach the girls goats for the future. That was-wy goal." Ms. Mac concluded.

Presses Roll For The Hoot By ROB BAIN Rappahannock %«•**•* Staff \Jl rhcr “O.K. Todd and John, take off for lunch but remember, you’re on an assignment. Drop off those prints before you leave, John. Todd, I want that story on my desk by tomorrow morning. O.K.? Take off!" Freeman Allen knows how to get reporters motivated. He was one himself once: a former foreign correspondant and capitol hill reporter. Now. as the new journalism teacher at Wakefield School, he is the mentor to Wakefield’s current crop of student reporters. In this capacity he does not assign chapters in textbooks nor does he correct worksheets. He does assign news stories and he does help revise and edit those stories. He also gives grades. But Wakeheld reporters learn by doing—meeting deadlines. helping with layouts. snooping for anything that might qualify as “news”—and by listening to criticism of their work. The end result of this collaboration is a quality student newspaper. The Hoot, which is already on a par with newspapers from larger area high schools, an amazing accomplishment for a small private school. Since September The Hoot has adopted a solid, responsible editorial stance. The major focus is on hard news which consists mainly of school and community events. The hard news stories appear on the front page. The news of the November 4 issue ranged from a report on the latest revision of Wakefield’s academic policies to the results of the "Scary Story" Contest conducted by the Rappahannock News. The second page of the paper comprises editorial news which includes letters to the editor, commentaries on current events and a private editorial column. "The Editorial Aye". The “Aye” is reserved for commentaries by editorin-chief Chris Ingle, whose latest effort was a criticism of the low attendance at the recent W.P.A. (Wakefield Parents Association) meeting. Says Hillary Scheer, the Hoot’s social editor. “Everyone respects it (the — Rappahannock News Photo/T.

We're proud of it.” Hillary is in charge ot the lighter aspect of the paper, its social page, of which one of the mainstays is the “Chat” column, an overview of the preceding month’s gossip. One recent item: ("A.M. is going steady with P.M.”) Another social page feature, the “Dear Rosetta Realstone" column, delivers precocious advice to the forlorn or the wondering: "Dear Rosetta, Hi! I’m a junior and I need your opinion. I like this guy and I think I'd like to ask him out. Do you thing it’s O.K. for a girl to ask out a guy?—Wondering" "Dear Wondering, Don’t forget, ‘You've come a long way, Baby!’ I’ve always heard that its' ‘downright upright' for a girl to do the asking, and that’s the advice I extend to vou.” The fun and games of the social page are matched by the typically wacky “Funny Papers", coordinated by Val Paluch. A spoof of school news, “Funny Papers,” is the beneficiary of many students’ talents and one of the most popular items in the paper. For the upcoming issue. The Hoot is covering more controversial ground by doing a feature story on migrant worker camps in North Carolina. Such ambition is admirable and perhaps even a bit dangerous. Unless the story is handled with professional care and discretion, it could generate some friction. Other unusual features of the upcoming issue include a profile on punk, a worldwide musical and social movement. "We want to make The Hoot a lively forum for students, teachers and parents," comments Allen. With its new look, in-depth news reporting and lively editorial page. The Hoot has already : begun to realize Allen's 'goals for it and is capable of becoming a lively forum for the public as well. Subscriptions for The Hoot are available to all area residents; inquiries should be directed to the Wakefield School office (635-8111) or to subscription manager Chris Ralph (675-3803). Spaghetti Dinner Rappahannock residents can have an evening of dinner and the theatre on December 8 when the Rappahannock seventh grade serves spaghetti from 5:00 - 7:30 at the elementary school. Following dinner, the youngsters will put on their Christmas program. The seventh graders are serving all -you -can -eat platters for $5,00 regular adult meals for $4.00. and children's meals (ten and under) for $2. Given away at the dinner will be a country ham. Proceeds from the dinner will go to the seventh grade for their March trip to Williamsburg. Bake Sale The newly-formed girls’ volleyball team at Rappahannock County High School will be having a bake sale on Saturday, November 27. Locations will be at the Flint Hill Storehouse, The Inn, the Sperryville Emporium, Hackley’s Store, Boston Basiks, and the Ben Venue Market. The girls will gladly accept donations. Bring them to the school Saturday morning or to the locations Saturday after noon. Proceeds will go to the volleyball team. Glaciers hold about threefourths of the world’s fresh water, says National Geographic World magazine.

Country Fare is anything more whimsical than sophisticated, more rustic than modern. The name perfectly fits Georgia and Jane’s creations. The enterprise began after a discussion at the dinner table in which Georgia realized how many hours of thought and care she'd given to the Christmas presents she made for family and friends. Over the years of childraising she’d added to her skills as she tried new things. A couple of courses in decorative painting supplied what techniques she couldn't learn on her own. Jane, meanwhile, had been interested in wood working for years and was continuing to take courses. She was also adept at design and handstenciling. Both women wanted a cottage industry that allowed them to stay in their homes, juggling the demands of preschool children and country living. The results have surprised them. “The cottage industry is outgrowing the cottage." Georgia said a few months ago when she sacrificed a part of her kitchen to a workshop for Country Fare. Actually, there are evidences of the cottage industry all through the homes of both women, as they see their products through from design to the UPS truck. Response to their products has been encouraging. "Everywhere we take them, people want them," Jane Fare before the tiny business can expand is to hire some helpers to do portions of the preparation. “We’re right at full, cornshuck wreaths put florists’ versions to shame.

Actually, there was one place that didn't want to sell our things." Jane corrected herself. "But someone bought them right out of our hands as we walked out the door.” Right now the women have items on sale in Middleburg. Georgetown, Warrenton. California, at Chipmunk Hollow in Sperryville, and at Rush River in Washington. Their wreath is featured in Country Manor’s newest catalog. They also fill custom and wholesale orders. The next step for Country our limit." Georgia said. “And we're not willing to sacrifice any quality." The quality of Country Fare products is immediately apparent. Little hearts are hand-cut. sanded and painted, then hand-decorated with flowers or designs for old-world Christmas ornaments or Valentine's day gifts. Cheese boxes in assorted sizes are carefully sanded and stained, then stenciled with primitive. European or Pennsylvania German designs. Table runners and napkins are hand-fringed and stenciled.

Soil Should Be Sampled Now By RAPOW1INGS VIM h\l**n*i<»n Dick McNear stopped by the office the other morning with soil samples he’d pulled from his and Col. Mac’s farm. He grinned and said, "Well, Rap, I got the job done on time for once. This time I will have the results when I need them.” when there are fewer problems with soil compaction caused by heavy spreader trucks since fields are generally drier than in the spring. V.P.l. now has one of the most efficient, computerized, modem soil testing labs in the country. Soil sample recommendations are based sm This reminded me to alert farmers and vegetable gardeners to get this job done before winter sets in. In the fall, more time is available to do a good job of sampling. Turnaround time for the lab is quicker, and you will have more time to plan your fertilization and liming program. Once test results and recommendations are received, lime can be applied, enabling it to react with the soil over the winter before growth starts next spring. Phosphorus and potassium can also be applied in the fall on research and experience. These recommendations are based on Virginia soil and crop conditions, and I think they are the best available for Virginia farmers. The main weakness in obtaining good soil sample recommendations usually results from poor sampling methods. Farmers with large acreage to sample should use a soil sampling tube. You can buy one at the Co-op1 or borrow one from our office. Fields to be sampled should be divided into areas that are similar in soil type and were planted to the same crop and received similar fertilizer and lime treatment Each sample should represent an area not much larger than 10 acres. At least two subsamples or cores should be collected per acre. These subsamples should then be thoroughly mixed in a clean paper bag before filling the soil sample box that will be sent to the lab. Cultivated fields should be sampled to plow depth. Pasture and semi-permanent hay fields should be sampled to the 2-4” depth. Soil sampling pays - do it now and beat the spring rush!

Their carefully-crafted products offer an alternative to mass-produced, overly cute country gifts available to wholesale buyers in showrooms. “A lot of sloppy workmanship is sold in the name of “primitive”,” Georgia said. "We were hoping that buyers would recognize the attention and care that go into our work.” “We’ve never seen anything like this," and “we're so happy to have found you." are some of the remarks that enthusiastic buyers have made about Country Fare products. For Georgia and Jane, this recognition is only one of the rewards of their new business. Georgia added others: “To be working at home with our families to make things we like and have people treasure them - this is what is really satisfying."

Don’t Let The Turkeys Get You Down By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock 'New* Staff Writer With turkey days upon us, many local cooks are faced with the prospect of many meals with the same central ingredient. Luckily, turkey is adaptable, and left over cooked turkey can be used in many different ways. After spending many hours in the kitchen on Thanksgiving, most of us are ready to coast for a while anyway. We’ve tried to find some recipes using not only turkey, but other Thanksgiving leftovers in simple, nourishing dishes. Turkey Soup is a mainstay of post-holiday cooks. After removing most of the available meat from the bones, place the turkey carcass in a large pot and cover with water. Add carrots and onions for flavor and simmer slowly for several hours. Remove bones and vegetables and strain. The turkey broth, when seasoned with a little salt and pepper. can be used in any recipe calling for chicken broth but remember that it will have a slightly stronger flavor. For soup, return the strained broth to the pot. There should be no need to skim the fat if the bones were heat through. If you have leftover cooked vegetables from the big meal, this is the time to add them, too. For Mushroom Soap, saute mushrooms and onions until tender in butter and add to heated broth. Cook until picked clean. Add finely chopped vegetables and a handful of rice or barley. When vegetables and grain are tender, adjust seasonings and add chopped cooked turkey meat just in time to done. At the last minute, add a half-cup or so of cream. Do not simmer after cream is added. Put leftover broth in quart jars, filling only three-quarters of the way full, and freeze until needed. Broth doesn t keep for long in the refrigerator and plastic free’ • containers will forever smell like turkey if you use them for freezing broth. A freezer full of homemade turkey broth will come in handy for the busy holidays ahead. Those with leftover turkey, ham and rice can make Jambalya, a dish made in the early colonies and still good. Jambalya 1 cup chopped country ham l'/j cups stock 3 cups chopped cooked turkey 2 cups cooked rice ‘/j quart jar of tomatoes 1 onion, chopped Melt lard, butter or other shortening in pan, brown a cut up onion in this, add a spoonful of flour to brown and the tomatoes. Add meat and season with salt, pepper and paprika. Pour in turkey stock, add rice, and cook until done. Notes From The Library By PENNY KEESEY Librarian Along with Christmas and a few other recognizable dates, the month of December has officially been recognized by Governor Robb as “Virginia Reading Month.” Librarians have a tendency to think every month should be a “reading month.” Rappahannock County has been blessed with Virginians who write as well as read. The library has received gifts of recently published books from three local authors. We are so enthusiastic we are having a special display of the books written by Rappahannockians. Gene McCarthy’s Minnesota is a mixture of poetry and prose. From rural Minnesota to rural Rappahannock is only one giant step. “.Time encompassing without pause unmarked duration continuum without commas.” Time, the history of the land, family, neighbors, friends described in terms of a countryside that is sometimes bleak, but, with the changing seasons, comes alive. “What have I seen with you? the willows curve the hawks turn the burning bush of chokecherries” could describe Rappahannock as well as Minnesota. From the world of “glacial ice" to the present, this is a heart warming account of Eugene McCarthy's memories. Built 1856 - Dedicated 1963 Elizabeth H. Haskell has come to the County more recently. She has served eight years as a member of Virginia’s air pollution regulatory board and is a consultant on environmental policy and public administration. Her book is titled The Politics of Clean Air. The protagonists are the coal companies, the utility industry and the federal agencies involved in regulating, as proscribed, to maintain clean air. The conflicts arise within the governmental process and the need to present a case of clear logic, mathematically defined in order to protect the environment from special interest groups. James J.
