33rd YEAR. NO. 48 USPS45558C 12 Pages The County Family Newspaper Since 1877 THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1982 WASHINGTON, VIRGINI A Phone 675-3349 25' Chase Leaves Path Of Destruction m Area By WENin SIZER 1 run,t»-1 N* v*-|ia[n r* U rit.-r While most people settled down to a sumptuous turkey dinner Thursday afternoon. Prince William County Police dispatcher John Collier was alerted to a nude male driving along Woodbridge Airport runways, impeding air traffic. With that 1:18 p.m. call, more than 15 law enforcement officers from Prince William, Fauquier, Clarke, and Warren counties became involved in a twohour. three-minute chase over one Interstate, two cow pastures, several secondary roads, and an assortment of private driveways. Finally, near mile post six on Interstate-66 near Front Royal, Woodbridge resident Charles T. Liles was arrested after Virginia State Police Trooper W. EL Walther and Warren County Sheriffs Deputy Ronald EJawkins forced Liles' 1980 four-wheel drive Ford Bronco off the road, pinning it against a guardrail. When the dust settled, two officers had been injured, four cruisers had been totalled, one. private vehicle had been hit, and five police vehicles had received approximately $9,500-worth of damage. And then there was the property damage, says Virginia - State Police Sergeant M. G. Millner. Two sections of fence and several gates were destroyed during the Dukes-of-Hazzard-style chase as were Liles’ crumpled white and maroon 4-wheeler and one of its oversized, deep-tread tires. The chase over, authorities still had their problems. The subject was only partially dressed, says Sgt. Millner. He wore a shirt, vest, underpants, and possibly one shoe. But there was no wallet. Identifying the 31-year-old took four hours, says Sergeant Millner. Finally his live-in girlfriend gave police his name. Sergeant Millner did confirm shots were fired in an attempt to stop the Bronco adding they were not fired by any State Trooper. By press time Wednesday Fauquier. Warren, and Clarke County Sheriffs' Department spokesmen denied their deputies fired at all. However Prince William county police Sergeant James Weakland said Officer Dennis Thompson did fire one shot at the Bronco after Officer Williams was injured. At least six shots appear to have been fired. Spaghetti Dinner, Program At RCES The seventh grade is again sponsoring a spaghetti dinner at the elementary school to raise funds for the class Williamsburg trip. This year's dinner will be served December 8 from 5:00-7:30. Following dinner, the elementary school children 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. Route 123 Hit And Run The episode began, explains Prince William Police Captain J. A. Sindlinger, when a call came through about a hit and run incident on Route 123 in Fairfax. The caller, thinking it occurred in Prince William, telephoned the Prince • William dispatcher by mistake. Not long after that, he says, another call came in from Woodbridge Airport. The vehicle descriptions were the same, and Officer R. D. Williams responded. A rolling roadblock was set up along Davis Ford Road, Capt. Sindlinger says, and eventually the vehicle (belonging to Liles' girlfriend) was brought to a stop. Officer Williams approached the Bronco on foot and reached inside to take the keys. Just then, Liles allegedly floored the accelerator, knocking the policeman to the ground, says the captain. The officer broke a rib and lay on the ground as Liles rammed Williams’ cruiser sending it across Davis Ford Road. The police cruiser hit an oncoming passenger car, but the driver was not injured. That person had time to jump from the car before impact. Captain Sindlinger says. From Davis Ford Road, the Bronco travellled along Route 234 to 1-66 where another Prince William County officer attempted to stop it. Liles allegedly rammed that cruiser three limes, causing it to go into a spin and leave the road. Not A High Speed Chase "You’ve got to keep in mind this is not a high speed chase.” Sgt. Millner savs. (Continued on Page 5) Special Grand Jury Calls Witnesses The Rappahannock special grand jury empaneled to investigate the November 9 shooting death of Ranee Spellman exercised its subpeona powers and called witnesses of its own this Monday. Before taxing a Thanksgiving break, last week the special grand jurors on Tuesday visited the property of Mr. and Mrs. Roger Kidwell where Spellman was shot from a bulldozer while reportedly widening a disputed right-ofway. Prior to the on-site inspection. the ten men and women listened to individuals called by commonwealth’s 1^) irt) irt) Ifffi attorney Douglas Baumgardner, including Patricia Saltonstall. owner of Points of View Farm where Spellman was employed as farm manager; Mr. and Mrs. Roger Kidwell and other members of the Kidwell family and police officers who arrived at the scene just minutes after the shooting. On Monday, the special grand jury subpeonaed John Bennett, commonwealth's attorney for Culpeper County and lawyer for Ms. Saltonstall; Jay Miller; neighboring landowner Edward Morrisey and Janice Palmer. The special investigative body also recalled iffl) ifR) iffr ifffi iffri iffli iffli Ms. Saltonstall and Virginia Slate Trooper R.A. Baines. The grand jury sat until after 7 p. m. on Monday and will reportedly continue deliberations this Wednesday. Once the special grand jury completes its report, further action — if any — will come from a regular grand jury, according to Baumgardner. He noted that the next regular Rappahannock grand jury is scheduled to convene January 10. 1983. "But that doesn't mean the current grand jury couldn’t be called back into session,” Baumgardner added. r?- r JOHN JACKSON and his 9on, Jamie, will be on stage at the Gay Street Theater in Washington on December 17. The internationally reknowned bluesman, Rappahannock's most famous musical son, has performed around the world and throughout the United States. Country Blues Great Returns For Concert John Jackson will bring the music he’s performed at the White House, Wolf Trap and around the world back to Rappahannock County on December 17 for a concert it) the old Gay Street Theater. ti John began his musical career in th$ F. T. Valley where he was born and raised. His father, a sharecropper on local farms, played the guitar; his mother played the French harp and accordian. He grew up surrounded by aunts, uncles, cousins and visiting blues men who performed that uniquely American form of music at tourist homes in the Blue Ridge Mountains on the county’s western border. His first guitar lessons were from a man he remembers only as Hap, a convict on the crew that built Rappahannock's first paved road. Hap drifted out of his life but John's musical education continued, his teachers the black blues singers who recorded on race labels in the 1930s — Blind Blake. Bessie Smith. Lemon Jefferson and Furry Lewis — and the legendary country greats, Jimmy Rodgers and the Carter family. With friends and relatives, he played at parties and gatherings across Rappahannock. But the opportunities to make music weren’t enough to keep John in the county. In 1949. he joined the outmigration to city jobs, moving his family to Fairfax where he found work as a I 4#' flit. tilt] i4t'i t caretaker on the 200-acre estate of John Barker. He put his guitar down before he left, however. A fight that erupted at a dance where he was ying earlier and a drunken party-goer who’d accused him of stealing the instrument prompted his decision to leave music alone for a while. Then 15 years laters, while playing "Candy Man" for a neighbor who'd pestered and pestered him for lessons. Jackson was discovered by Chuck Purdue, a folklorist from the University of Virginia who happened to pass by. Purdue took him to D. C. to hear Mississippi John Hurt sing the same song and convinced Jackson to join the blues great on stage for a couple of numbers. A fellow in the audience jumped up with an offer to record and John's been on the road ever since. He now has four albums to his credit and has performed in South America, Europe, Japan. Australia, the Caribbean, Canada and the Far East. He’s sung for the President of the United States and for audiences on round-the-world goodwill tours sponsored by the International Communications Agency and the United States Department of State. At the Gay Street Theater concert sponsored by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community.

But the Water and Sewer Authority members and representatives from Rappahannock's board of supervisors who attended Monday night's emergency meeting had no answers. John Capelle, executive director from the Rappahannock - Rapidan Planning District Commission, had bare the facts of what had happened in Richmond last week but as to why, he. too. had only conjectures. He told the unsmiling WSA members and supervisors J. R. Latham and Charles F.stes that the state had received 150 block grant applications for the total $14 million available state wide. Rappahannock's request for $478,193 w as not one of the 22 funded. "You were about 100 points short of the bottom," Capelle said, adding that Rappahannock received 628 points out of a possible 1.000 from the Housing and Commmunity Development's evaluating committee. The highest rated funded application received 933 points; the lowest 723. "There were approximately 40 unfunded applications ahead of you." Capelle said. No Need “As to what happened to your application...," Capelle began, relating the gist of a telephone conversation last Wednesday Vith Stu Wilson from the State Water Control Board's Alexandria office. According to Wilson, conditions in Sperrvville weren’t of a, critical enough nature. “You didn't exhibit a great enough need." Capelle said. "But we’re the fifth most critical health hazard in the state!” rejoined supervisor Estes, referring to the State Water Control Board's ranking of Sperryville as fifth priority in the state for sewer construction funds to relieve an existing health hazard. On the basis of that health hazard and pollution of the Thornton River arising from the community’s malfunctioning septic fields, the State Water Control Board (SWCB) last month formally awarded Rappahannock a $1.5 million construction grant to build Sperryville's sewer system. That grant was 4fr «4k< -41- -A- A A .A contingent, however, on the receipt of the $4"8.193 block grant necessary to bring the system's monthly user fees down to the $10-$ 12 range considered affordable by Sperry ville's low and moderate income residents. "Something got lost in the translation." Capelle replied, describing the block grants awards procedures as "a beaurocratic mess." The planning district director said that both he and W S A secretary Bob Dennis had been informed that the block grant application failed on the basis of two points: the county’s low taxing effort in relation to its ability to raise revenue and the absence of a health hazard in Sperryville. He said he'd been told that the application failed to include recent certification of a health hazard by the State Health Department Director. Instead. Sperryville’s funding request included Health Department studies done in 1976 which detailed the extent of septic field malfunctions and well contamination with recent letters from the State Water Control Board and regional Health Director Bob Einarson affirming that the conditions still existed and would onlv be alleviated through construction of a sewage system. $1.5 Million Withdrawn WSA secretary Bob Dennis added that a letter from the SWCB was enroute, announcing plans to withdraw Sperryville's $1.5 million construction grant at the hoard's December 7 meeting in Richmond. The funds will be re-allocated to other projects since the county didn’t get the money it needed from the block grant program, he said. According to Dennis’ information, representaives from the Department of Housing and Community Development assured the Water Control Board staffers last week that Sperryville’s sewer will be funded in the next block grant cycle which begins in March. “But that was what was implied this go round,” Dennis noted. Although the $1.5 million for construction in fiscal year 1983 will be taken back, he added, “the Water Control Board will slot us for fiscal '84 funds because they think we’ll get a block grant (in the next cycle).” Dennis nointed (Continued on Page 4) Fire Robs Families Of Home, Belongings A chimney fire early Tuesday morning completely gutted a home shared by two brothers and their families. Michael Wharton and his family and the family of Larry Wharton, each with two small children, were left with nothing but their lives and the clothes on their backs after they escaped from their residence on Route 522 near Scrabble. Michael Wharton was slightly injured in the blaze, sustaining burns on the ankle. Misfortune struck the neighborhood two days earlier as well when a lire broke out Sunday evening in the kitchen of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Jackson’s home located about a half mile away from the Whartons on Route 522. The flames were contained by firefighters from Castleton. Salem, Washington and Sperryville but not before the fire destroyed the kitchen and a back bedroom shared by the Jackson's children. Hope Hill Baptist Church at Castleton is serving as the center for assistance for both the Whartons and the Jacksons.

Making Little Poems On The Wall - By DAPHNE HI T< HINSON Rappahannock N# **» >taf( V nlt-r Ray Heus is a poet who doesn't use words. He relies instead on the language of art to convey his visions. But if his drawings were word poems, they would have rhyme, meter and punctuation. If his paintings could be magically transformed into speech, the listener would understand what the poet was trying to say without first spending hour after hour desciphering the message. The works which go on display this weekend at Washington’s Middle St. Gallery are not those of an abstract artist. Heus' work is representational. His watercolor landscapes look like landscapes, not smears of color. The faces n<:ring from prints and drawings are the faces of real people, easily recognizable if the viewer knows the models. "People have to be able to see what you’re trying to get across," Heus said in a recent interview. "You’ve got to make a little poem on the wall. You've got to make people dream, to go beyond themselves. It’s hard to explain." he added, smiling and shaking his head. The smile evaporates when Heus talks about the state of art today. “Modern art is going nowhere.” he maintained. "So much of it is ego splash. Everybody is saying ’Look at me!'

Heus recalled a recent show at the museum in Richmond which included a bulging pile of gray carpet mats stacked one on top of the other. Visitors were walking on the mats, much to the embarrassment of a chagrined guard who kept having to repeat that the arrangement was part of the art exhibit. Eventually, the guard was forced to cordon off the display to protect the carpet art from dirty feet, Heus added, laughing. “For shows today, artists find out who's going to judge and what they like and then they paint for the judges. Isn’t that incredible! Then, there are the artists who believe that the public has to be educated to appreciate their work. That’s a lot of nonsense," Heus maintained with passionate indignation. Back To The Masters He compared the state of modern art to the state of modern music, recalling that he’d recently read interviews with three famous conductors who all sounded the same theme. Each said that modern classical music is driving audiences in droves from the concert halls and called for today’s composers to go back to such greats as Debussy, study their works and start over again. That same advice applies to artists: painters need to go back to the old masters and start over again, he maintained. As a hrst step, Heus would have them forego mechanical aids. "So many of today’s American painters have a dark corner in their studios where they keep their projectors. They project an image onto a canvas and then they trace around it,” Heus said. This photo-realistic genre is “the absence of soul, the absence of style—it's nothing!” he charged. “It belongs to the if-you-can’tdo-it-well, then-do-it-big school.” Not An Artist While Heus is quick to criticize, he’s just as quick to disparage his own efforts. “I'm not an artist yet. I’m a watercolorist and printmaker who has been at it seven years or so. The first two or three years was just a waste of time. I was doing things I had no business doing,” he added with a deprecating grin. Heus began painting without the benefit of instruction—either formal or informal. “I started on my own. It was trial and error and after the error prevailed, I took some drawing classes, he joked. "Like most novices, I started with oils—the worst possible medium because you can just keep covering up your mistakes. Water colors are best. If you make a mistake, that’s it. You've got to throw it away and start over again. It becomes a learning experience. You learn from your mistakes.” But learning from his own mistakes wasn’t enough for the aspiring artist and so he tried commuting to the Art Students League in New York City. “The subways got to me though, and I came back.” Then someone told Heus that one of the best teachers in the country was working at the Northern Virginia Community College’s Manassas campus. “At NVCC? I thought she was kidding!” he recalled. Still disbelieving, he decided to try a class and found a true drawing master at NVCC. “I’m still amazed. She was terrific. If you didn’t work, she almost put you in a corner. It was real old fashioned discipline.” Building? •Palat . •Lumbar •Millwork'H •Hardware^ - Caaptott OM-Stap BIHLOING SUPPLY Warrantee Building Material Co., Inc.

Hutchinson RAY HEUS insists he’s not yet an artist but the exhibit that opens this Sunday at Washington's Middle St. Gallery contradicts that assessment. Bold, sharply defined watercolors. prints with great depth and clarity of tone, drawings with flowing lines that convey a sense of movement—all are works of an artist who relies on skill and talent rather than gimmicks to capture the attention of viewers. Talent For Work And discipline—either self or imposed—is the key to becoming an artist, he believes. "You've got to draw to learn—everyday. If there's a talent in art, it’s the talent to do hard work,” Heus maintained. "You get what you pay for. Art is like anything else. If you want to be a good stonemason, you put up a lot of stone. If you want to be a good artist, you do a lot of drawing.” From the very beginning, Heus was a representational artist. At first, he painted life-like scenes from photographs. “But by the time I got the film back from the developer. I'd forgotten just what it was that I’d taken a picture of." So he switched to making sketches and taking color notes of his subjects. “Or I'd just sit down outside and paint. That way, you can get really involved in your subject. Lord, it's so much better!"

Heus acknowledged being particularly influenced by Japanese woodcuts. “They’re so in tune with their environment. There’s no room for ego. For a time, I was consciously pushing that style into my work. But you can’t do that. The only way to get style is to draw a lot," he repeated. So Heus drew. . .and drew. . .and drew. And while he may not have considered himself an artist, others did. His work was accepted at the Virginia Museum and galleries in Washington, D.C. and New England. He set aside temporary studio space in the corner of the old Orlean barn he and his wife Robin are renovating into a home and became an almostfull-time artist. Scenes captured in memory of the Adirondacks and Long Island's Great South Bay, vistas of Rappahannock’s mountains and fields were etched with nitric acid onto metal plates and then printed. Reviving a favorite medium of Italian and Dutch artists of the 1700s, Heus drew with conti crayons, chalk-like sticks of almost pure pigment that are scraped, the dust mixed with water and then used as paints. io eaten nis iavorite subject, sunlight, Heus took his easel, paper and watercolors outdoors. “They . light starts getting good here in September and it stays good until the middle of May,’’ he noted. Reproducing Rappahannock's sunrises and sunsets, twilights and shadows, is “always challenging, always challenging,” Heus added. In his pursuit of the epithet of artist, Heus counts himself one of the lucky few. Two days a week, he works in Warrenton, restoring oil paintings and frames. “It’s art-related. It enhances my own work and I don't have the pressure on me to crank out paintings to make the mortgage payment,” he said. “It’s best not to try to make a living at art. I have the luxury of doing what I want. I don’t have to paint for the market.

RAAC was formed in July to foster the development of the social, civic and cultural resources of the region. Five months later, the young group has an impressive list of accomplishments to its credit. RAAC has sponsored a Fourth-of-July art show, two successful street dances, a blue-grass concert with the Free State Ramblers, helped the Rappahannock Players with their production of Next Year, Jerusalem, and leased the Gay Street theatre with renovations presently underway. RAAC's future plans are even more ambitious. Encouraged by community response to their first efforts, the group will host a Christmas program, a New Year’s fund-raising party, and a spring production of an original drama by the Roadside Theatre. This month they will be presenting Rappahannock son John Jackson at the theatre. A film scries open to RAAC members and the public is planned for the new year; and the group is open to other suggestions for the education and entertainment of Rappahannock County residents. Sunday’s meeting found the fledgling association in stable financial shape with funds of well over $3,000 in the treasury and few bills outstanding. At this stage, most of RAAC's operating capital comes from new members. The group is presently in the midst of a membership drive, and membership committee chairman Dan Lewis reported that the group was well on the way to its goal of 250 members. Membership now stands at 110. Anyone joining before January 1, 1983, will be a charter member. RAAC members get reduced rates for events the association sponsors and subscribe to a calendar of events. Some questions about the various memberships were resolved at Sunday’s meeting. The group voted that any membership except at the reduced student rate would be considered a household membership. RAAC President Sid Gottlieb reported that a Facilities Committee, under the leadership of contractor Butch Zindel, would be working on Gay Street theatre renovation, with an RAAC membership workday to be scheduled soon. Gottlieb said that some improvements would be evident by the time of the John Jackson concert December 17, and more would be finished by the time the film series begins. The Board of Trustees offered to submit names of possible new members to the membership committee and invited all present RAAC members to do the same. The next Board of Trustees meeting is scheduled for January 9 at 4:30.

Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2.1982 Shop Here Three decades of television have made us a nation of shoppers more concerned about product recognition than quality or need. TV commercials, as well as magazine and newspaper advertising, attempt to convince us to buy products because celebrities say they use them; because “everyone” has them; because they will change our image or our life. Meanwhile, shoppers flock to huge malls with chain stores for nationally advertised brands and the business districts of small towns and cities slowly wither and die, further damaging the economy of already stressed communities. In Rappahannock, at least, we have a choice. Local craftsmen and merchants offer gift ideas that provide an alternative to mass-produced nationally-advertised brands. Some are uniquely Rappahannock. Shopping within the county for Christmas not only promises gifts of quality and originality, it keeps your dollars here where they will help your neighbors and friends. With this in mind, we begin our Christmas shopping guide. This week we review Washington - Flint Hill businesses; next week, Sperryville merchants; and the following week, selected Culpeper and Front Royal stores. We encourage everyone in Rappahannock to use imagination in their Christmas shopping and patronize our local people. This season, more than ever, they need your business. This Was The News In Bygone Rappahannock Times... 5YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS ON DECEMBER 2, 1977, the Rappahannock News reported on the Swine Flu clinics set up by the Rappahannock Health Department. Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Atkins of Sperryville entertained with a party November 20 in honor of the third birthday of their daughter, Tammy. In addition to her brother and sister, Ray and Robin, and her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Ebb Atkins, guests included Mr. and Mrs. Charles Huff, David, Bobby and Danny; Mr. and Mrs. Edward Gore, Keith and Heather; Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Atkins; Mr. and Mrs. Roy Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Wharton; Mrs. Huey Atkins, Mike and Bill; Mrs. Minnie Pullen and Judy; Mrs. Henry Wharton and Lisa; Tommy Kindall; Nancy and Connie Wharton; Peggy Pullen, Elsie, Ruth, Betty, Becky, Brenda, Alice, Tina, Calvin and Shelby Atkins and Kathy Alther. The Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Company received a $500 check from Tippy Jenkins, Rappahannock County Chief Forest Warden. The check was part of a federal grant to rural fire companies. 15 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS THE Rappahannock News of November 30, 1967 reported that Rappahannock teenagers spent a total of 608,000 in 1966. The money went for records, clothes, used cars, greeting cards, movies, costume jewelry, snacks, sportswear and cosmetics as well as the “thousand and one other things that are of vital importance to youngsters. ” Bob Estes was pictured on the front page releasing rabbits in the Sperryville area. The rabbits were part of a game restocking project that Estes had undertaken. Showing at the Washington Theatre were Tammy and the Millionaire and In Like Flint. Front Royal theatres offered a selection: Hot Rods to Hell. Divorce American Style, and Luv. Leather moccasins were on sale at Rosenberg’s in Culpeper for $11.95. Rappahannock Boots By eugene McCarthy Kappa Han nock Vw« (>un>l TolumniM In reading a pre-Christmas catalog from one of the better known sports wear suppliers, also one of the most pensive, operating out of Freeport. Maine, my eye fell on a boot that looked very much like a pair 1 own. In fact I have owned, and worn this pair for nearly si* years, on and off. summer and winter, rain or shine, snow or mud. or Rappahannock County dust and clay. I bought my boots in the country store in Amissville. After si* years, they were beginning, not to show wear, but more like, feel wear. There was no particular, marked weakness showing. The leader upper seemed a little stiffer than usual, even after a treatment of mink grease. There were signs of cracking, although no cracks where uppers join soles. The inside liners felt thin in a few spots, not quite covering the clinched nail heads, as though the boots were wearing out from the inside at about the same rate they might be wearing out from the outside, or better, wearing in, or apart. Both heels were down a little, and whereas I could not discern that the soles were at any one point growing thin. I have occasionally felt small stones through the soles recently, something I cannot recall in earlier years. . . All of these scattered and slight reminders of the changing conditions of my boots, and of the passage of time, moved me to give a second look at the catalog boot, and later, for comparison. at the description of a Red Wing Rappahannock boot in the Coop Store on Route 211. I recall having paid $12 for my boots in 1977 and is expected, even at the Coop the price had risen, but not to the level of the catalog boot, which was listed at $83.25. postpaid. The descriptions of the boots, in store and magazine, were almost the same. "Rugged, handsome, for work or casual wear. Hard wearing full grain cowhide uppers. Deepdip topline for easier foot entry. Medium Western toe. Archsupporting innersole. Stacked leather heels, with rubber caps, for longer wear. Molded heel counters, pull tabs for easy on and oft” The only noticeable differences between the two boots, other than price, a leather sole on the more expensive one, obviously less useful, and an inner lining of tanned cowhide. I could never understand the need for inner liners, unless one regularly went without socks. 1 am sticking with my old boots, 1 hope, for at least one more season, out of respect, not just for their service to me. which I know about, but because of their further reputation, as I have picked the word from more experienced users, fully waterproof, if enough mink grease is used, (even some of the synthetic leather preservers will work) proof against snake fangs, obviously against briars and wild black-berry thorns, hedge roses and spurs of young locust, and barbed wire. Protection too, although not to be relied upon too often, against the tteth of errant chain saws, axe, dog bite and even hog bites. I was tempted to buy a second pair, to be kept in waiting, but to do so seemed, if not dishonest, at least, as indicating lack of faith or loyalty. I will stay with my boots, as the deacon did with the famous one-horse shay, expecting them to disintegrate, totally, on completing their life’s span. Then 1 will buy.another pair, certain that a boot of such merits will survive changing styles, politics. even civilizations. 'i-•'a.-'j t y v. .]. •. WHILE THE REST OF THE COUNTY was recovering from an overdose of turkey, James and Louise Grigsby and J. Compton (right to left) were out collecting donations for the Castleton Volunteer Fire Department’s new ambulance. The highlight of the fund raising drive will be a gourmet buffet dinner this Friday night, December 3. from 5:30 to 8:30 at the Castleton Fire Hall. A ticket ($5.50 for adults and $2.50 for children) will buy country ham, fried chicken, assorted vegetables and casseroles, fried apples, homemade breads, desserts, coffee, tea and fruit juices for the youngsters. Letters Thanked To the editor We should like to thank all the members of the Rappahannock Lions Gub for their display of community spirit and helpfulness. Their involvement in assisting with our butter and cheese distribution helped the whole operation run smoothly. As if that alone wouldn't have been enough, they went a step further. With careful plan- ^g on their part, the Liuns put together seven overflowing food baskets for seven delighted families. We want to share with the Gub members the happy faces and thanks for making this a special Thanksgiving for those people. Our special thanks to Arthur Townes.

Rappahannock County Welfare Department Compliment To the editor Many thanks to the editor and the reporters who are responsible for the Rappahannock News, an outstanding paper that 1 enjoy thoroughly. CARO T. BORDEN Reston No Block Grant (Continued from Page 1) out, however, that the SWCB money will continue to be contingent upon award of a block grant unless the county can come up with some other method of providing the almost half million dollars required for the local share. Dennis reported that Delegate Raymond R. “Andy” Guest has said he will try to arrange a meeting as early as possible between the SWCB. Health Department, Housing and Community Development and Rappahannock representatives to determine exactly why the Sperryville blocks grant application failed towin the necessary points for funding. "Guest said that the Community Development people told him Sperryville would have gotten funding if we’d properly demonstrated that a health hazard existed," Dennis said. No Imminent Threat Capelle countered that the block grant evaluation system provided for extra points for a health hazard but only for an emergency health hazard. "To qualify, you had to have a letter from the State Health Director saying, in essence, that you had people dying in town.” The criteria for this extra point option were "so prohibitive, so restrictive, it didn’t make sense for Sperryville, so I didn't even consider it (in preparing the funding application).’’ Capelle said. "It had to be an ’imminent threat' to public threat...You don’t have an imminent threat. You don't have people dying in Sperryville... We could not have gotten a letter from the State Health Director saying we had an imminent threat in Sperryville.” Capelle maintained, explaining that the type of emergency which would fall into the imminent threat category included hurricane destruction of a water system or a chemical spill in a water supply. "But what I think happened is that the Richmond people evaluated Sperryville’s application as if we were applying under that imminent threat category...We shouldn't have been evaluated in that way. We shouldn’t even have been asked (if Sperryville had a health hazard)," he said. The 1975 studies by the Health Department weren’t included to justify an imminent health threat but rather to show why a sewer system was needed. Capelle added. ’’I always thought the Health Department had classified the pollution in Sperryville as a health threat" countered supervisor chairman J. R. Latham. “It’s a threat and it’s a problem but it's not an imminent threat (as far as the block grant program is concerned),” Capelle explained. “I think they looked at the application and interpreted h one way when we * wrote it another." he said, reporting that if Sperryville's grant application has been misclassifted. then the project would receive a guarantee for funding in the next cycle under Housing and Community Development regulations. Proceed? In the meantime. Dennis asked, where does the WSA go next with the plans for the Sperryville sewer system? "I don't think we have a w hole lot of choice—if w e can pursue this thing without throwing a whole lot of money into the effort...I think we should refile in March.” Estes replied. “It would be foolish not to do it again." Latham said he thought the Health Department should be asked to reevaluate the situation in Sperryville. "Eve been hearing for 15 years that it's a health hazard." He added that it would be hard to justify putting additional county money into the sewer project without getting any returns. "It will be hard to keep our colleagues with us behind the wheel." Latham noted to Estes. Capelle interjected that the planning district office will handle refiling the grant application at no cost (if the effort is successful, the planning district would be reimbursed with grant funds). If the second round fails, Estes asked, will the countv be repaid its investment through the sale of the WSA’s property intended as a site for the sewage treatment plant? Proceeds from the sale of the lot would go to the general fund, Dennis replied. WSA chairman Carson Johnson noted that the supervisors committed $22,000 in front money for engineering work of which $19,000 has been spent. The Authority paid slightly over $10,000 for the land for the sewage treatment plant, he added, noting that former owner Clifford Miller has first option to buy the land back "The only way to recover 100 percent of the county's money is to pursue this,” argued Estes. “1 don't see throwing down the bat on strike one...I just can’t see us laying down and rolling over when we’ve got round two coming up.” “Just as long as it doesn’t cost us anything,” Latham emphasized. The consenus that came out of the emergency sessions was: (1) the supervisors will be asked on Monday for instructions on whether to proceed with a second block grant application. (2) Delegate Andy Guest and State Senator Nathan Miller will be asked for assistance in determining what happened to Rappahannock’s application. (3) the Health Department will be requested to reevaluate the conditions in Spenyville In addition. Capelle reported on Tuesday that a meeting between Rappahannock representatives and staff from the Department Housing and Community Development has been scheduled for December 7 in Richmond. Supervisors Estes and Latham and WSA members Bob Dennis and Carson Johnson, joined by Capelle, will also attend the SWCB meting that day. Benefit Auction Set The holiday season of giving officially begins with the arrival of Advent this Sunday. Traditionally, this is a time for all to remember those who are less fortunate. Rappahannock people can mark the season by donating to a benefit auction organized by John Walker Jenkins on behalf of the family of Charles Grigsby who has been struck by catastrophic illness. Jenkins is donating his time, facilities and services as an auctioneer and he's asking his friends and neighbors here in the county to do their part by contributing furniture. household goods, appliances and other usable items for sale. The auction is set for Friday, December 10, at 7:30 p.m. For further information or to arrange pick-up, call Jenkins Auction House in Washington at 675-3325. All proceeds from the sale will go to the Grigsby family. White Socks Wanted For those with a few dollars extra to spend this Christmas, an inexpensive gift to residents of the Virginia Baptist Home in Culepepr will be greatly appreciated. Mary Beth Rustic of Castleton is organizing an informal gift drive for the elderly men and women at the non-profit home. White knee socks, which provide warmth and eliminate the need for excessive amounts of expensive gauze dressing, are being solicited. Groups and individuals who would like to make a donation of one or several pairs of new white knee socks can leave the socks at Aileen Day Realty in Washington. The socks will be delivered to the Baptist Home near Culpeper before Christmas. ++++ Shooting stars are streaks of light created by falling meteoroids, or chunks of rock traveling in space.

Democrats B> GEORGE BOWLES With the dust from the election settling. Virginia Democrats are moving to patch up the potentially dangerous rifts which have appeared between some of the party’s top leadership and other members of the Democratic high command. These were kept reasonably quiet during the summer and autumn campaigns, although there were persistent reports of discontent bubbling just below the outwardly tranquil surface of party unity. That calm was shaken two weeks when state Sen. Peter Babalas of Norfolk surprised party officials by calling for the resignation of state Democratic chairman Alan Diamonstein of New port News. The Babalas move coincided with, but may not have been a part of. other maneuvering going on around the state concerning Mr. Diamonstein’s performance of his job. Mr. Diamonstein took over as chairman of the party in March, replacing Del. Owen Pickett of Virginia Beach who had resigned to make what proved to be an abortive bid for the Democratic U. S. Senate nomination. The new chairman's critics charge he has been inattentive to his duties, has failed to move aggressively to build the party and failed to support other Democratic candidates during his own race for reelection to the House of Delegates this year. Perhaps more significantly, they also say he places his personal loyalty to Gov. Charles S. Robb above his commitment to the party as a whole. Chariman Respond* Mr. Diamonstein responds, with considerable justification, that he has not been in his post long enough for his organizational talents to receive a fair test and, further. it is usual procedure for a candidate for an office to concentrate on his own campaign. This is especially true when, as in Mr. Diamonstein’s case, the candidate is running in an area largely dominated by the opposite party. Gov. Robb immediately rushed to Mr. Diamonstein’s defense. The governor released a statement saying the chairman had his "full and unqualified support.” Telephone calls reportedly crackled out to key Democrats around the state as the governor moved to put down the incipient rebellion. A few days after the Babalas call for Mr. Diamonstein to step down, but also after the Robb intervention, a meeting was held in the home of Sixth District Chairman Granger MacFarlane. Its purpose was to discuss the future of Mr. Diamonstein in particular and the party in general. It was attended by several Democratic leaders from the western and southwestern regions of the state, and while a proposed agenda for party reform was agreed to, the prospect of deposing Mr. Diamonstein was aban doned if. indeed, il was seriously considered al all. When the Democratic Party steering committee met in Richmond the following Friday night, it went into a two-hour executive session. Following what was called a "frank and open discussion” of grievances, most of the dissident's reform proposals were adopted, thereby further defanging the uprising. Deep-Seated Concern But all of this may have been only the surface manifestation of a more deep-seated concern. There is a festering resentment among some in the party because of Gov. Robb's dominant role in party affairs. Indeed, there was whispered speculation that the attack on Mr. Diamonstein was intended primarily as a way of "getting at" the governor. The theory was if Mr. Diamonstein could be forced to resign, it would diminish the governor’s influence. since Mr. Diamonstein is very much a Robb lieutenant. If that was the scheme, it backfired badlv. The governor's critics say his inner circle is overly exclusive and elitist: that those who are a pan of it would turn the party apparatus into little more than a vehicle for the advancement of whatever national ambitions the governor might have. There are also dark mutterings that the “Robb mob'' would like to establish a political hegemony in the state as pervasive and powerful as the old Byrd Organization. Most of the grousing, it would appear, comes from a few senior Democrats who are not without their own prima donna inclinations and are more than a bit pul out by the governor's popularity. Gov. Robb, after all, worked tirelessly for Democratic candidates in this year's campaigns and is, by any measure, the Virginia Democrats' most valuable political asset. Thus the Diamonstein fracas was probably healthy for the party. It helped clear the air. People got things off their chests. Some positive decisions resulted. And. if the Democrats are smart, it removed any doubt about where the leadership of the party lies. Donations Sought The Rappahannock Welfare Department is once again asking for volunteers to play Santa Claus to the county's foster children. “Last year, we had such a wronderful, generous response. We’re hoping for the same this holiday season.” said social services director Sylvia Kreitler. Cash donations are requested. The money is given by the Welfare Department to foster parents to buy appropriate gifts for the dozen youngsters, most of them teenagers, in foster care. "Our foster parents do a marvelous job but many of them have very limited means. The donations help make it a much brighter Christmas for our foster care children,” Kreitler said. ■ For further information or to pledge a contribution, contact the Welfare Department office in Washington at 675-3326.

— R»pp«h«nnock Nrw* Photo/T. Reynold* A FAMILIAR SIGHT at the court house each Tuesday is Bronwyn Hughes who handles court services for the Rappahannock - Fauquier area from the new field office in Warrenton. Hughes will be scheduling the VASAP, educational and diversionary court services programs for Rappahannock offenders. Chase— (Continued from Page 1) Liles' alleged speeds varied from 50 to 80 mph. An evader whose speedometer needle hovers at 85 mph or beyond prompts a high speed chase, he says. “The thing that made this a chase is that he was driving a big Ford Bronco...that he was determined not to stop. He was a fleeing felon (after the Route 123 hit and run)." As Liles' vehicle neared the Fauquier-Prince William County line on 1-66, Trooper C. M. Hodges gave chase and had no luck in stopping the man. Near Delaplane Liles’ itinerary deviated from the interstate to northbound Route 17, then to Route 713 east. At that point, says Sgt. Millner, Liles took a sidetrip through a fence and into a cow pasture. For about 20 minutes he charged around the field. A third Prince William County Police vehicle, following the fourwheel drive Bronco into thp field. was rendered inoperable when it went into a ditch. Liles' alleged pastoral pursuits continued when he left the first field (crashing through another section of the same fence), crossed the road, burst through another fence and into another field. He hurtled through that field to the probable amazement of onlooking cows. State Trooper Injured Minutes later Virginia State Trooper E Baiun lost control of his cruiser when Liles foiled yet one more attempt to stop him on Route 17 near the Route 55 interchange. Trooper Baiun suffered minor neck injuries when his vehicle left the road, rolled, and hit a pole, Sgt. Millner says. He was treated and released from Warren County Hospital, Front Royal. After a foray through private driveways near Route 17 with the relentless Trooper Hodges in pursuit. Liles allegedly returned to Route 17 and sped toward Paris. Fauquier County Sheriff s Deputies Glenn Bracey and Sam Stalls followed him along Route 50 across Paris Mountain and into Clarke County. When they came back it was with $2,000 damage to their cruiser, according to Sheriff Luther Cox. Crashing twice into Clarke County Sheriff Deputy Anthony Roper’s cruiser and smashing the left front end of Trooper Hodges' car, the moving mayhem left the Route 522-Route 50 intersection, headed east on Route 50 and onto Route 17 south. Trooper Hodges, then joined by Trooper W. E. Walther, formed a moving roadblock, a roadblock “that almost worked,” says Sgt. Millner. But the Bronco smashed through, totalling ^ Trooper Hodges’ vehicle and causing 5400-worth of damage to Trooper Walther’s. The last leg of this 75-mile moving violation involved a plan to set up a stationary roadblock upon return to I66. Several cars, Sgt. Millner says, were parked across the Interstate’s southbound lanes in Warren County near the Shenandoah River. But before the battered Bronco arrived. Warren County Deputy Sheriff Ronald Hawkins’ cruiser became the next casualty when Liles rammed into the rear ot it. At the last minute, Sgt. Millner says, an opening was made in the roadblock. First Liles sped through, followed by Trooper Walther and then by Deputy Hawkins. After a ram here and a sideswipe there, both officers had the Bronco boxed in and pinned the vehicle against a guardrail. The clock read 3:21 p.m., reports Sgt. Millner. Hawkins, one of the two police officers who made the arrest, is a former Rappahannock County deputy. A graduate of Rappahannock County High School, he is the son of Mr. and Mrs. M. M. Hawkins Jr., of Washington. Deputy Hawkins' wife, Becky, is a fourth grade teacher at Rappahannock County Elementary School. Why? Just why Liles went on his one-man rampage is a mystery, says Capt. Sindlinger. "We have no idea," he says, Liles' girlfriend confirmed he had not been drinking, but she did indicate he "acted crazy” that morning, says the captain. Liles will remain in Fauquier County Jail until Warrenton lawyer Carroll Martin, his court-appointed counsel, can arrange a bond hearing. Although Clarke County has not issued any warrants yet, Liles was charged with two counts of assault, reckless driving and obstruction of justice (when he resisted arrest) in Warren County. In Fauquier he is charged with one personal injury hit and run felony, four counts of hit and run misdemeanor, driving on a revoked driver's, license and reckless driving. Prince William County authorities, says Captain Sindlinger, charged him with felonious assault, attempted felonious assault, and two counts of reckless driving. “Throughout this episode, as far as driving maneuvers and attempts to stop this individual are concerned, (officers) conducted themselves very well. Everybody used the minimum amount of force necessary," Sgt. Millner says. Concert (Continued from Page 1) by his son. Jaimie Jackson, and his friend.

Changing Community Attitudes And The Law Part I - Court Services By THERESA REY NOLDS Rappahannock 'New* Staff Writer Editor's Note: With this article we begin a series on changing community attitudes and how they affect our laws and, ultimately, our local courts. In weeks to come we will examine the new child restraint law, changes in local legal services, and growing community concern about drunk drivers. The wheels of justice move slowly and along tracks that are confusing to many. Judges try to pick a prudent path between rehabilitation and punishment as law enforcement officers attempt to respond to pressing—often conflicting—demands from the community. Many of us will live a lifetime with no contact with our criminal justice system. But we are affected every day by the choices that our legislators make and the ways in which local courts handle offenders. There are certain types of offenders most likely to touch our lives—the drunk drivers, the reckless driver, and ‘‘hootin’ and hollerin’” misdemeanant offenders. These offenders are the ones that most often appear in Rappahannock General District Court. Many of them, upon conviction, will be handled by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Division of Court Services, an independent agency with a main office in Culpeper under the supervision of Dean Irvine. There is a new field office now in Warrenton that handles court services for Fauquier and Rappahannock offenders. Bronwyn Hughes mans the new field office, financed, like the entire program, by defendant fees. She handles VASAP, the driver improvement clinics, and the community service restitution programs for the Rap pahannock courts. Hughes comes to the Warrenton office from Winchester, where she participated in a similar program that was used as a model by the General Assembly when it modified several of the sentencing tools available to judges in its last session. “This was an exciting prospect,” Hughes said. “To be able to set up a program from the start to offer these services to the courts.” VASAP Program The VASAP program, of course, was already in operation. Changes in the sentencing of drunk drivers have given the program more teeth, Hughes believes. “It used to be that someone convicted of driving under the influence could be assigned to VASAP and have his case continued until he completed the program. If he did this successfully, the sentence was reduced to reckless driving.” Now, conviction of driving under the influence of alcohol is a requirement for VASAP. One incentive the program does offer is the use of a restricted license while attending the classes. But the conviction will remain on the offender’s record and a second offense will result in the longer suspension of one year. "This generally reflects a sense of community outrage at the suffering caused by drunk drivers,” Hughes said. As yet, there is no way to measure the success of the change. “We hope that this will result in more arrests for drunk driving,” Hughes said, "as law enforcement officers become aware of community sentiment.” Rappahannock Sheriff W. A. Buntin said that this indeed was a change for the better. “A conscientious law enforcement officer will Washington (Continued from Page 1) Select from his line of fresh meats and groceries for a welcome Christmas food basket. Baldwin's is open Monday. Tuesday. Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 6 to 7 and Sunday from 6 to 6.

Beginning December 5, a show entitled “Joy is Craftsmanship” will feature a work from each of the Rush River members which they have created especially to express the joy of the holiday season. Rush River also carries some small items that would be perfect for Christmas giving: little cups by potters Chuck Brome and June Jordan, quilt prints designed by Jinny Beyer, little painted wooden boxes by Country Fare.

Next week: Sperryville and Flint Hill stores. Final Meeting The Rappahannock unit of the American Cancer Society will hold its last meeting or 1982 on Tuesday, December 7, at 3 p.m. at the Washington Baptist Church. Several very important items have been included on the agenda. All members are urged to attend. arrest a drunk driver whether it will result in a conviction or not,” Buntin said. “But it’s discouraging to see these charges reduced. The new sentencing is bound to increase arrests." Upon sentencing, the offender will pay a $250.00 fee in addition to the fine and court charge. He will attend a registration session in Hughes’ Warrenton office and be assigned to either an education or a counseling program lasting from 12-24' weeks. If the defendant participates in an educational program, he goes to classes conducted by an instructor from the Battlefield Educational programs, the name given the District Nine program. If Hughes recommends counseling, he goes to a private psychologist for group and individual sessions. “Many . offenders begin with a hostile, frightened approach,” Hughes said, “but most complete the program with a very different attitude." Participants learn about how alcohol affects their driving reflexes. They see films and have group discussions, all aimed at reeducating them in their approach towards alcohol. In addition they take defensive driving classes. District Nine VASAP also provides community education on the dangers of drinking and driving. Traffic offenders with convictions that are not alcohol-related may be assigned to a driver improvement clinic—an eighthour program costing the defendant $30.00. Restitution Programs Also provided by court services are the community service restitution programs. In the fine option program, an offender is allowed to work off a fine he is unable to pay. ‘‘Often fines are assessed in place of a jail term,” Hughes said. "In the past there was no provision for those unable to pay them. It ended up as a dilemma with no out for the poor. The court can’t say - you’re poor, you go to jail; you’re not poor - you pay a fine.” The fine is divided by $3.50 to arrive at a total of hours of community work to be done. Suitable community service projects are presented by a public (or private-nonprofit) organization. Failure to work off the fine in an appropriate amount of time results in a 10-day jail sentence. As of July 1, offenders convicted in Rappahannock may be assigned to community service instead of a jail sentence. This program worked well in Winchester and has the dual benefits of keeping non-violent offenders out of jail and providing much-needed services to local communities. In Winchester, Hughes assigned a hairdresser convicted of shoplifting to a shelter for battered women. “She came over when she could and fixed the hair of women who had just come in,” Hughes said. "It gave them a lift and it got so she was bringing them permanents and cosmetics at her own expense. Surely it was of more benefit to the community than her spending time in jail.” Also assigned by Hughes were two teachers who worked off their service requirements by tutoring at a juvenile probation house. Hughes is still working on community servicer equests in the Fauquier Rappahannock area and expects the program to be in full swing in the next few weeks. Is it a touchy matter matching the offender to the job? ‘‘Well, we wouldn't assign an assault and battery offender to an orphanage,” Hughes said. "But there are plenty of placements for our rougher clients - parks and recreation, historic renovation projects-there's always some job that an offender can do, no matter how basic his skills. And rather than costing the county to keep him in jail, he’s benefiting the community in ways that might otherwise be paid for by tax or charity dollars." Hughes has become a weekly visitor to Rappahannock since the beginning of her job in the Held office last summer. “You have a light caseload here - and a consistent judge in Judge (John) Alexander,” she said. She sits in on General District Court each week and is available to explain the programs she supervises to defendants. At other times, she may be reached in her Warrenton office at 3478675.

Vandals Strike In two separate incidents, vandals struck at Rappahannock County High School over the holiday weekend. According to Principal Robert Chappell, damage was done by a heavy car or truck to the front lawn and the back grassy area. A vehicle dug out gullies in these areas and then pushed over the bleachers on the baseball field sometime Friday evening. On Saturday night, vandals threw liquor bottles, batteries and beer bottles through a classroom window at the front of the school. Chappell said he had no estimate of the costs of the damage, which will be repaired by the school maintenance staff. The Rappahannock Sheriff s Department is investigating the incident. Financial Program A financial aid program for juniors, seniors, and their parents will be held on December 9 at the Rappahannock County High School library.

-FOOT FACTS Dr. Bruce Vogel Podiatrist Foot Specialist HEEL PAIN HAS MANY CAUSES We can see heel pain in a 10 year old child - we can see heel pain in a 45 year old jogger; and we can see heel pain in the 65 year old woman. This is one malady of the feet that can strike at any age. This is because it has many causes. The most common cause of heel pain is a tight plantar ligament; the ligament that starts from the heel bone itself, spans the arch and attaches at the front of the foot. A common complaint is that the foot hurts more after sitting for a while and when the person tries to get up. If the condition is left untreated a heel spur may develop. Heel pain can be treated successfully with simple methods such as strappings, physical therapy and medication. Surgery is only a last resort. Lastly - obesity is an irritating factor not a cause of heel pain. A public service with the aim of promoting a better foot health environment.

Dawson radiates optimism when he assesses his team's chances for the Bull Run District’s basketball crown in the season that opens this Wednesday. "We're the team to beat. All the coaches I've talked to say we're the team to beat,” he announced. "But George Mason, Strasburg and Clarke County—they’re going to be lough, too.” he added, hedging a bit so as not to jinx the cagers from RCHS., "Ninety percent of the game is knowing where to be and what to do. Our boys have 75 percent of that 90 percent right now. The last 25 percent will come with experience.” Panther fans won’t have to sleep through the bore tactics of a four-corner, slow-down offense this year. Rappahannock’s contingent will be runners in 1982-83, according to Dawson. “We’re going to push that ball up and down the court," he emphasized. “We're going to press most of the game—a full-court press. And we’re going to use a lot of trapping defenses. We'll keep the pressure on.” Dawson doesn’t plan to put on the brakes “unless Rappahannock is playing poorly and the other team is playing well.” Then and only then, he may call for a slower tempo until the Panthers regain control. He's looking forward to a balanced scoring attack to keep RCHS in front. Dawson knows that opponents will be ready for Mike Leake, who led last year's Skyline District with 16.3 points per game and garnered the second highest vote count for a berth on the district's all-stars. But double-teamed or not, the coach expects to get 15 to 18 points per game from the six foot, five inch, 220 pound center, a third year starter for RCHS. And it isn’t just scoring he’s anticipating from Leake; the coach wants control of those backboards as well from the Panthers’ big man. “I want to get 12 rebounds out of Mike.” Dawson added. Robert Myers, the other Rappahannock all-star from last year's season who broke the school’s scoring record for steals with his outstanding defensive maneuvers, will be back to run the offense as point guard this season. "He's the team leader and the best passer we’ve got,” said Dawson. “And he's probably our best foul shooter. I want assists from Myers.” For the balance in the Panthers' scoring. Dawson singles out the duo of Tommy Sisk and Clarence Pendleton, both juniors, who will be filling the forward positions. “They’re extremely smooth, good shooters and they're good rebounders, especially Tommy.

Guard Doyle Dunn is the last of the starting five. According to the coach, he and sixth man Pops Aylor are the Panthers’ best defensive players. “They’re extremely quick and though they’re small, they’ll be a major factor in the battle of the boards." With the running, pressing strategy Dawson plans to rely on, he needs talented bench strength and he’s got it in substitutes Mike DelGrosso and Jeff Porter. “We’ve got good guard depth. 1 want to use those fresh defensive players to wear our opponents down,” he reported. The first year varsity coach attended Ferrum College and then transfered to the University of Virginia, graduating from the ACC's newest basketball powerhouse in 1982. During his senior year, he was assistant varsity coach at William Monroe, his high school alma mater, and directed both the boys and girls eighth grade teams there. Rappahannock starts the season on Wednesday at home against "double A” Warren County High School. “That should give us a good test,” the new coach noted. Then next Tuesday, December 7, RCHS takes on “single A” William Monroe, “probably the best team we’ll face all year,” Dawson acknowledged. But if anybody can get Rappahannock ready to be Dragon killers, it’s Dawson. Look for the RCHS coach to trade the Panthers claws in for lances and armor and to have the Dragons huffing and puffing instead of flaming as he begins the quest for the Bull Run basketball cfown. A DAY TOO LATE—Richard Whorton nabbed this 23 pound turkey near Rock Milts the day after he bought a frozen bird at the grocery store for Thanksgiving dinner. But thinking ahead, he plans to save the wild gobbler for Christmas. Info On Bears Sought Shenandoah National Park is conducting a three-year research project on the ecology and movement of the black bear population within and near the Park, according to Park Superintendent Robert Jacobsen. Several bears have been equipped with radio trans mitter collars which con tinually signal their location. Other bears are “sporting” small yellow ear tags. Researchers from Virginia Polytechnic Institute closely monitor the movements and habits of these sample animals. Sportsmen hunting near the Park and who bag one of these marked bears are requested to report tjie kill to Park Headquarters at 703 999-2243. In addition to returning the radio transmitter or ear tag. hunters will be asked to report the time and location of where the kill occurred. Jacobsen stated that he hopes local sportsmen will “cooperate fully in this very important research effort." *AmeriGas_, SHENGAS DIVISION 327 No Royal Ave Front Royal.
