VIRGINIA Phone 675-3349 25' Bus Shop Cost At $100,000 Bv THERESA RK$ VH.DS Kappahannork V«. Staff V» ril. r In spite of warnings bv Wakefield District school board member Robert Eastham that a court action was pending, Lurav architect L B. Baughan told the board Tuesday night that execution of his design for the new school bus shop and office building would cost the county "about $ 100.(XX)." The amount included in the current school budget for the building is $90.(XX). Baughan’s public estimate comes at a time when the Rappahannock News and commonwealth's attorney Douglas Baumgardner are requesting a n ii.un the Circuit Court on whether an "architectural program and budget cost analysis" prepared by Mosely Henning architects and discussed in public session is exempt from disclosure requirements of Virginia's Freedom of Information Act. The earlier design proposal outlined to those documents was rejected by the school board as too expensive. Baughan. ot the architectural firm Baughan and Baukhages. was hired last month to draw up plans and Specifications for the new building. He presented the plans at a special meeting originally set to discuss series 4 of the proposed revised policy manual. The board informed the Rappahannock News Monday that Baughan's presentation had been added to the agenda. The architect's unwitting reflation was in response to p Eastham's question, “I don’t really want to go into this because there’s a court case pending, but will the board soon have a total figure?" "We're shooting for $100,000," the architect replied. “Of course, a lot of costs are not under our control, and we may see opportunities for savings." The surprised school board did not ask for any further cost breakdown. The public statement of expected cost led board members to speculate on whether the declaratory judgement action would still be necessary. The new plans specify a Butler pre-engineered. low rigid metal building or a building by another manufacturer that could meet the same specifications. Baughan said that the general contractor would be either the building manufacturer who would subcontract the interior work; or a contractor who would do the interior and subcontract the preengineered shell. "This is your basic, nofrills building," he said. The site proposed by the architects is behind the existing bus shop, facing slightly east. An access road is proposed running parallel to route 211 through what is now the rear half of the bus shop. In answer to other questions, Baughan told the board that he would assist in the approval of bidders and would prepare an invitation to bid to be released soon. . - _ - H»(i(^h.niv«k Nnn Pho<n/T.

Town Overpaid The town of Washington may be facing a financial crunch, judging by an announcement front Rappahannock’s accountant, Wally Cox, at Monday’s meeting of the county board of supervisors. He reported that the treasurer had been using the wrong formula for dispersal of sales tax revenue for the past three years, resulting in a $2,438.79 over-payment to the town. According to Cox, the formula for sales tax dispersal came from thenAttorney General Marshall Coleman. The accountant said he’s advised the treasurer to withhold the scales tax payment from the town until the money is recovered. “It will take a considerable amount of time to recover the $2,438.79 by withholding the monthly payments!” Cox added. Cox had no surprises for the county to match the news he delivered to the town. According to the accountant, revenue reserves are running close to what was anticipated when the budget and tax rate for the current year were approved last summer. He noted that the general fund balance was estimated to be $400,000 when the fiscal year began this past July 1. Checking the balance against the audit report, the county actually started the year with $385,000, Cox said. He informed the supervisors that the Rappahannock County Library’s investment portfolio has not yet been turned over to the county treasurer as required by law. He added, however, that he’d encountered no problems in gaining access to the investment information for audit purposes. _ - ~ Rtpp®^nnnork NVw« Photo |V Hutchinson MISTERS RAPPAHANNOCK — It was a tough decision but faced with a bevy of beauties on the high school stage last Friday night, judges Shirley Wilson.

Supervisor Hubert Gilkey announced at Monday's board meeting that the Department of Corrections will hold the county to a requirement for electronic locks on all cell doors. Last July, architect Hunter Spencer estimated that it would take approximately $65,000 to bring the current 24-hour lock-up to jail standards. He jumped that figure to $115,000 last month, pointing to unexpected repairs to the heating and electrical systems, installation of an access ramp for the handicapped and additional security measures as (he reasons for (he price hike. At a meeting iwo weeks ago with board representatives and sheriff W. A. Buntin, Spencer warned that the renovation cost could go higher yet if Richmond officials' insisted on installation of the electronic locks on all cells rather than just three doors that connect the cell blocks to outside access. The locks, he said, cost $ I .(XX) apiece. Department of corrections officials ruled last week that all cell doors must be equipped with the expensive locks as a safety precaution for inmates, according to Gilkey. In addition, they stipulated that a ramp for the handicapped must be included unless its omission is okayed bv the county's building inspector. The Department's representatives have also suggested that the old chicken house be moved from the path between the parking lot and the jail. Gilkey said. He did have one piece of gvxxi news, however. Fourtyeight thousand dollars worth of maximum security doors do not have to be added to the renovation cost. "They’ll let us get by with 14-guage regular commercial doors," Gilkey said. The maximum security doors will be required only for the cell block access. Public Information? Monday's meeting may have been the last public discussion on costs of the jail renova t ion. "I don't think it’s in the interests of the countv and the tax payers to have these estimates floating around.” announced supervisor H. B. Wood. ”1 ddidn't know the figures myself until 1 read them in the paper." he said, referring to the account of the meeting with Spencer published in the November 25 edition of the Rappahannock News.

This is Sperryville, a tiny community built just below a gaP in the mountains—"Thornton’s Gap”— which allowed early travelers a pass through the mountains and travelers of the past halfcentury access to Skyline Drive and the Shenandoah National Park. In the winter, the smoke from wood fires curling from cozy , mountainside houses gives Sperryville a Christmas card look; shopping in these picturesque surroundings is sure to promote the Christmas spirit. Start at Sam Snead’a Orchard in Gid Brown Hollow. Sam and Helen Snead have boxed up specially-chosen fruit in gift boxes of a quarter bushel.

Commonwealth's Attorney Douglas Baumgardner asked the Circuit Court to call the regular grand jury back into session after a special investigative grand jury last week filed its findings and recommendations in the shooting death of Ranee Spellman. rtssumtng mai me regular grand jurv returns an indictment in this case, I will prosecute Mrs. Kidwell for second degree murder,” Mr. Baumgardner said. Mr. Spellman, 34, was shot from his bulldozer while reportedly widening a disputed right-of-way through property belonging to Diane and Roger Kidwell between Flint Hill and Ben Venue on Route 729. Law enforcement officials who arrived at the scene minutes later found Spellman dead on the bulldozer. He was reported to be armed with a pistol and a shotgun but neither weapon had been fired. The shooting occurred just one day before circuit court judge Shore Robinson granted a request for a temporary injunction, barring further construction on the disputed right-of-wav which serves both the Kidwells' property and three lots belonging to Ms. Saltonstall. The request for the in junction hearing was filed with the Rappahannock clerk's office in the late afternoon on Tuesdav. November t). Papers informing Ms. Saltonstall of the hearing were not served until that evening, approximately 12 hours after the shooting. Mr. naumgaraner asked the Circuit Court to empanel a special grand jury to investigate the shooting. The 10 men and women began their sessions Nov. 18. first hearing witnesses called by the Commonwealth. That Thursday, and the following day. they interrogated Patricia Saltonstall, owner of Points Of View Farm where Spellman was employed as farm manager, State Police and local law enforcement officers, members of the Kidwell family, an adjoining landowner and others who had been at the scene on the day of the shooting. Monday, Nov. 22, the panel members interviewed the last witnesses summoned by the Commonwealth, including Diane Kidwell and her attorney David Konick. On Tuesday, the grand jurors visited the scene of the shooting, and when they reconvened Nov. 29, they exercised subpoena powers to call John Bennett, Com monwealth’s Attorney from Culpeper and Ms. Saltonstall's attorney, Jav Miller. Edward Morrissey and Janice Palmer. Later Ms. Saltonstall and Virginia State Trooper R. A. Baines were recalled. The special grand jury completed its deliberations Dec. 2, and filed a report with the Commonwealth’s Attorney the same day. One ot the special grand jurors was dismissed front service the day before the report was presented to Baumgardner. I he commonwealths attorney confirmed that William Dietel was excused by Judge Robinson following receipt of a letter from David Konick. attorney for the Kidwells. Konick charged that the special grand juror w as a personal friend of Ms. Saltonstall s and had been involved in business dealings with the deceased. That might not have been grounds for exclusion but the court felt it was better to do so and avoid the possibility of questions being raised as to the special grand jury’s objectivity." Baumgardner explained. “The integrity of the process should be observed at all costs." he said, adding that Dietel had been excused upon receipt of the letter from Konick. Rabies Confirmed Kappanannock s third case of rabies, the edge of an outbreak that has swept Northern Virginia in the past year and a half, was confirmed last week by health department authorities in Fauquier Countv. According to Helen Bridges of Washington, her grandchildren, visiting for the Thanksgiving holiday, were hiking down Jenkins Mountain when they spotted a raccoon . in a tree. The animal, not normally seen during daylight hours, was behaving strangely. "It was spitting at the children, chattering and showing its teeth." Mrs. Bridges said. I he youngsiers climbed on the back of a jeep for (he ride back to (heir grandparents' home and when they passed (he raccoon, it jumped out of the tree and chased the jeep up the mountain. Mrs. Bridges said that her husband was alarmed by the unusual behavior, shot the animal and took its body to the Fauquier Health Department offices where it was confirmed as being rabid. In April, a skunk that had attacked cattle at a farm near Flint Hill was found to have the disease. A rabid fox was killed in the Amissville area in July. 1981.

Sperryville Proposed As Historic Area On Monday the Rappahannock supervisors put their stamp of approval on the effort to have the village of Sperryville added to the state and national registers of historic areas. Bryan Mitchell, the executive director of the Virginia Historic Landmarks Corotnission, explained that thi designation carries “no restrictions on property owners what-so-ever." Recognition by the state simply points out that the village is of “some significance and shotiM be treated with some v r Mitchell said. It is entirely up to local government as to whether historic zoning districts should be created and what type of controls historic zoning should impose, he said. Likewise, inclusion in the national historic registry carries no restrictions, architectural or otherwise. Mitchell continued. He noted, however, that projects in a federally designated historic area involving either federal funds or permits are subject to special environmental review. “You just answered my question...why Sperryville was chosen over other Rappahannock visages." supervisor H.

FLETCHER, TRUSTEE somehow related to the village's proposed sewer project. "Frankly. 1 don’t know what project you're talking about," countered Mitchell. 'The purpose of the designation is not to stop a sewer project or any other project." Wood said that he was thinking in terms of the designation assisting the project, not stopping it, and repeated his question of why Sperryville and not Woodville or Flint Hill. “We know more about Spenyviile,” Mitchell said. He added that the Historic Landmarks Commission’s architectural surveyor David Edwards has started work here and will cover the entire county with the aim of pinpointing other areas worthy of historic designation. Edwards noted that the Commission has received numerous requests over the past few years for historic designation on individual houses. “They started to pile up and we thought it was time to take a look at Sperryville.” "Look at it in a different light,” suggested supervisor Charles Estes whose district includes the village. Historic designation will signify that “the town is worth saving. It will enhance the value of the builings and make it a better place to live,” he said, adding the inclusion on the state and national registries may also help in the effort to secure state and federal funding for the village’s proposed sewage “Good old fashioned, independent, non-regulated people” who don’t want to be in an historic area and don’i care about the 25 percent taj credit for rehabilitation, are they controlled in any way by the historic designation? Eastham asked. “They can do their thing,” Mitchell replied. "Anybody in town can dc their thing?" Eastham countered. "Yes sir,” repeated Mitchell. “Then what's the pur Turn-Of-The-Century Charm (The following sketch of Sperryville's history is taken from the Virginia Historic Landmark's application for historic designation for the little Blue Ridge Mountain village.) Virtually unchanged since the 1920s, the village’s growth has been limited by the natural landscape to expansion in a linear east-west direction along the junction of the Winchester and New Market turnpikes. The site of the town was originally part of a 4,452 acre tract granted in 1749 by the Northern Neck proprietary to Francis Thornton of Caroline County. His direct decendant and namesake, Francis Thornton, Jr., inherited the land by will from his brother-in-law, John A. Thornton, and shortly thereafter laid out the lots for what became the town. In August, 1820, Francis Thornton, Jr., sold the first two lots in what was then a flat adjoining the lands of John Menefee between the pass mill and Thornton Gap. The town was identified as early as 1821 on John Woods’ map of Culpeper and also on an 1826 deed. The origin of the name of Sperryville is explained by several different theories, one of which is that it comes from an early postmaster. Surviving houses from the early town settlement period include the George William Cooper House, the Dr. Amiss House, Totten’s Mill House and two other residences on the north side of Route 1001. All the structures were built in the period ca. 1830-1850 and are wood-frame with either weatherboarding or boardand-batten siding. All the homes have the exterior stone chimneys characteristic of the earliest houses in the region. The village grew randomly and slowly until the Smoot family of Alexandria established C. C. Smoot and Sons Tannery between the two branches of the Thornton River in 1867. The new industry increased the population of Sperryville and also provided work for area farmers. The surviving houses on the east end of me village were laigeiy uuui uy me tannery wurKen. in its prime, the tannery employed 40-50 people and was Sperryville’s leading industry. But it was far from being the village’s only business enterprise. By 1890, Sperryville had a population of 350. It also had three stores, one hotel, three flour mills, a woolen mill and a saw mill. In 1908, the Masonic Hall was constructed, providing the town with a place for meetings as well as entertainment. In 1910, Sperryville had reached its peak. There were four churches within the bustling village: two Baptist, one Episcopalian and one Methodist. There were five general stores, five corn and flour mills, a jeweler and watchmaker, a saw mill, several furniture dealers and a number of blacksmiths and wheelwrights. But growth halted abruptly in 1911 when the tannery closed. While a number of workers followed the business to North Carolina, others left to find jobs elsewhere. Stores and businesses suffered along with the local farmers who could no longer sell bark to the tannery. The village found temporary relief in 1918 when the Rappahannock Evaporating Plant began operations. It furnished employment and also served as a major outlet for apples grown on surrounding farms. The plant ran until 1937 and was the last industry to serve Sperryville. Today the town has only one general store, several seasonal produce stands and a number of antique and gift shops. It also has vernacular architecture of the settlement period intermingled with postbellum houses built under the influence of picturesque styles of the 19th century romantic revivals. Since the demise of the tannery, new construction has been rare, leaving the village with much of its tum-of-the-century character, an image enhanced by the modest number of commercial buildings and churches, tree-lined roads and few modern intrusions. It may be counted among the very few such villages remaining in the commonwealth. Jail Costs Upped (Continued from Page 1) Department of Corrections—were discussed.) ‘‘It’s a policy matter,” responded commonwealth’s attorney yD o u g 1 a s Baumgardner, noting that he has requested a declaratory judgment ruling from the circuit court on whether similar construction cost estimates for the school board's combination officebus maintenance facility are exempt from public disclosure. “I feel it’s in the public interest to haVe this issue resolved," he explained. ‘‘Can we ask the architect not to (release cost projections)?” asked Wood. Gilkey noted that the Department of Corrections had ordered the estimates. “I don't see why they can’t be public,” he said If a contractor knows that the renovation work is projected at $115,000, “he's going to try to beat that figure with his bid . .We’re not going to get anything under $115,000 if we don't publicize the estimate,” maintained Gilkey who is himself a contractor. School board member Robert Eastham interjected that “Freedom of Information says Mr. Wood is correct." "My opinion is that it can only work against the tax payer and for the contractor." Wood argued. “If they know we're expecting to pay $115,000, that’s what they’re going to charge," agreed supervisor Clarence Baldwin. In another jail related matter, clerk Diane Bruce reported that Prince William has billed the county $80 for holding a Rappahannock prisoner for two nights. Baumgardner said that he’s questioned whether Prince William, which receives state reimbursement for all its prisoners — including those from Rappahannock— could legally charge the county. He added that Prince William authorities have maintained the bill was proper. At the board’s direction, Baumgardner agreed to investigate the matter further with the Department of Corrections. “Where are we keeping our prisoners now?” asked supervisor Charles Estes. "We’ve got them all over—Shenandoah, Front Royal, Culpeper, Warrenton," sheriff W. A. Buntin replied. Front Royal is charging $20 a day as of December 1, he said. “The rest of them aren’t charging us.” “They’re all getting reimbursed by the state (for prisoner care),” noted supervisor chairman J. R. Latham. “That’s about $7, $8,” Buntin added. Garden Qub Project The board unanimously approved the Rappahannock County Garden Club’s proposal to landscape the courthouse complex. Reviewing the plans for the beautification project, the supervisors determined that work would not interfere with jail renovation, including the addition of an outdoor exercise yard. They stipulated, however, that trees must not be planted on either the jail or courthouse septic field. After a 15 minute executive session to discuss pending litigation and land acquisition, the supervisors returned to open meeting and voted to authorize the commonwealth’s attorney “to file pleadings in a litigation.” Robinson Aide In County Jim Hobgood, assistant to Representative J. Kenneth Robinson, will be at the Rappahannock courthouse in Washington from 10 a.m. until noon on Wednesday, December 15. Any citizen with a problem of a federal nature with which assistance is needed or who wishes to relay opinions on national legislative issues is invited to meet with the congressman's aide. When Hobgood is not on travel assignment, he may be reached at Robinson’s Fredericksburg office in the Old Dominion Bank Building, 904 Princess Anne Street, Fredericksburg, Va. 22401, telephone 373-0536.

National Geographic reports. disposal system. ‘‘This place is worth saving. “That’s what both designations mean," Mitchell agreed. Tax Benefits Ann Miller, the Commission director’s assistant, explained that rehabilitation of income producing properties in an historic area may be eligible for a 25 percent tax credit. The rehabilitation projects must meet standards set by the Secretary of the Interior and must retain historic character and integrity, she added, noting that the National Park Service issues final certification for the tax credit. Robert Eastham asked what effect the historic designation would have on applications for federal and state funding to build Sperryville’s proposed sewage disposal system. It could work in Sperryville’s favor, Mitchell replied, reporting that historic designation had benefited efforts to secure federal funding for a Richmond project. "And it could work to the detriment if the sewer system was going to knock out ten houses and destroy part of the historic area.” In the second case, he said, federal authorities “might sit down and rework the project to try to avoid that destruction.” pose?" Eastham asked. "It’s a non-regulatory designation..an education process whereby we call attention to the value of an historic district or property" with the aim of benefiting the governmental units that make land use and zoning decisions. Mitchell explained. "What do you fear will happen to Sperryville? What are you afraid that the people of Sperryville will do with their village...to destroy it?" asked Eastham. "Historic designation is not inspired by fear. To say so is to sav we fear somethinc will happen to Williamsburg or Mount Vernon or Monticello and that fear inspired their designation as historic landmarks,” Mitchell responded. "Buildings are altered or destroyed simply because no one knew their historical significance or value," he said. Value Enhanced Frank Reynolds, staff attorney with the Warrentonbased Piedmont Environmental Council, reported that PEC's experience with historical designations has been "nothing but positive.” In the nine-county region covered by the environmental organization, PEC has found that historic designation improves property values. “It gets places on the map. It helps business," Reynolds said, adding that travelers watch for the markers which the Landmarks Commission erects. “It adds to the local tax base and enhances property values,” Commonwealth's Attorney Douglas Baumgardner agreed. “That’s what has happened to the town of Washington (the county’s other historically designated village)." The motion from Estes to endorse the historicdesignation passed uannimously. The supervisors also gave unanimous approval for a letter setting out the facts on Sperryville's unsuccessful attempt to secure a com munity development block grant from the state for construction of the village's sewage disposal system. “If we don't make a push this time, it's out. We need every bit of leverage we can get!” Estes emphasized. H suggested that the lettef, which was to be drafted after Monday's meeting, note that Sperryville had been designated as the number five health hazard in the state. “The supervisors went out on a limb (by guaranteeing front money for engineeering studies with the expectation that reimbursement would come from grant funds).’’ Estes said. “The state’s kind of dropped us (by ranking Sperryville's community development block grant application 62nd). They’ve put us on the spot." woo a added inai ine leuer should explain how the county had been mislead to expect the block grant award. “We’ve been taken." he maintained. Wood noted, however. that the correspondence should not obligate the county to expenditure of local revenue for the proposed sewer system. Estes, Latham and WSA members Bob Dennis and Carson Johnson will take the board's letter to Richmond this week for a meeting with Housing and Community Development and State Water Control Board officials to discuss the reasons behind the block grant applications' denial.

Judge Upholds Holmes Verdict The $1.8 million Holmes estate case is finally over, at least as far as Rappahannock's circuit court is concerned. On Monday, Judge Shore Robertson entered a final order upholding the verdict of county jurors who heard 121/2 days of testimony last July before finding that Earl E Holmes, retired Marine Corps officer and Flint Hill orchardist who died of liver cancer in November, 1979, executed a valid will a month prior to his death, leaving his entire $1.8 million estate to his doctor, naval commander Peter Nielson. Loi. Holmes only close relative, his sister, Ruth, who died just three months after her brother, left instructions in her will, directing her executor to challenge her brother’s bequest. In the three week long trial, lawyers for Ruth Holmes' estate argued that the colonel was not mentally competent when he signed the one-paragraph typewritten will in his bed at Bethesda Naval Hospital the day after Dr. Nielson told him he had just two weeks to live. In addition, they maintained that Holmes executed the will while under Dr. Nielson’s ‘‘undue influence" and that the document had been fraudulently altered. Ten Rappahannock jurors deliberated less than three hours before finding that the w ill was valid. Attorneys for Betty Paleologos. the executrix of Ruth Holmes' estate, asked that the verdict be set aside, alledging that Judge Shore Robertson gave the jury misdirections in his hour long instructions On the law before deliberations began. Peter Luke, local counsel on Nielson’s legal team, countered that the jury had spoken. He maintained that a review of the evidence by the judge, as requested by the plaintiffs, would essentially be a retrial of the case, Luke noted that both sides had spent hours working with Judge Robertson in drafting the instructions to the jury. If there is to be a review of the case, he argued, it should come at the appeals level. When attorney David Konick filed the request in September to have the jury’s verdict set aside, Judge Robertson expressed concern that, due to a heavy case load, it could take a year before he could find the time to review the arguments of both sides and issue a ruling on the motion to set aside the verdict. On November 1, however, he denied the request. ■ Entering of the final decree in the Holmes case was set for November 11. But at that time, plaintiff s attorney William Casselman asked for a postponement until December to give a new appelate counsel. E. Milton Farley III, hired by Paleologos an opportunity to review the wording of the final order. He maintained that wording of the order would be crucial to the State Supreme Court's decision on whether to hear an appeal. "This has gone on for four years and there's every indication that it will go on for several more years." he said, arguing that a delay of three weeks in entering the final order would be of no consequence. Judge Robertson agreed that it wouldn’t work a hardship to delay the entry of a final decree one more time. "But I am going to enter something the next time this case comes to court...I'm going to give you one last appearance." "For the time being," Konick ‘ponded. “Unt .ected by a higher court.” the judge countered. CPM 302 S. East St. Culpeper, Virginia 825-1756 WALLPAPER (new shipment) CPM 302 S.

Increase In Commuters Parallels Drop In Farms ‘‘Historically Rappahannock County has been an agricultural community with most residents depending on the production of agricultural products for their employment and income,” states the comprehensive plan adopted by the board of supervisors in 1980. But judging by a report compiled from 1980 census data by the RappahannockRapidan Planning District Commission, most local people are no longer employed on farms—at least not on Rappahannock farms. In 1980, Rappahannock led the five-county district in percentage of local workers out-commuting to employment. Over half the local work force—50.1 percent— left the county for jobs. The figure represents a substantial increase that corresponds to a decline in farming in the county. Between 1949 and 1974, the total number of farms in Rappahannock dropped nearly 63 percent from 687 to 257, according to the comprehensive plan. During the same period, the percent of county land area devoted to farm useage declined from 66 percent to 45 percent. In 1950. 56.2 percent of county residents were employed by an agricultural industry. The figure slid to 37.3 percent by 1960 and to 20 percent by 1970. As local farm jobs disappeared, workers apparently began to look beyond the county line for employment. In 1960, Rappahannock had 590 out-commuters. 35.1 percent of a labor force of 1.681. By 1980. the county's labor force had swelled to 2,195. an increase of 30 percent, while out-commuters numbered 1.100. an increase of 86 percent. During the same period that the total number of workers jumped by 30 percent, the increase in workers who found jobs in the county was a negligible 0.4 percent. In 1980 , 50.1 percent of all county workers left the county for employment purposes; this compares to 35.1 in I960. Rappahannock had the highest percentage in the planning district of workers out-commuting in 1980. It was followed by Madisor <49.5 percent), Fauquier (43.1 percent). Orange (36 percent and Culpeper (24.1 percent) The average for the five county district was 38T percent. Over 24 percent—or nearh 600 workers—traveled 4i minutes or longer to work Stonewall-Hawthorne Distric had the greatest percentagi of its workers—nearly 4' percent—traveling more that 45 minutes. That district alst had the highest percentage o out-commuters (73.8 percent as a proportion of its tota workers. And most Rappahannock residents who drove to jobs elsewhere drove alone. Only 26 percent of the county's workers belonged to carpools in 1980. The 548 carpoolers from Rappahannock comprised just 5.2 percent of the planning district's total which was led by Fauquiet (40.6 percent) followed by Orange (21.3 percent), Culpeper (20.9 percent) and Madison (12 percent).

Now, as Chief of the Soil Conservation Service. U.S.D. of Agriculture, he is trying to convince the country. Soil erosion may be an expensive problem of the past in some places. "Conservation tillage costs $3 or so less per acre to farm than conventional tillage on many soils, and the reduction in soil erosion is phenomenal-—50 to 90 percent. In combination with other practices, it can do even better." according to Myers. No-till cropping involves planting without clearing the land of crop residue. By leaving in the stubble, s >il is held in place bv the ri>ot systems and plants themselves. The planter simplv comes through, cuts a small groove for the seed, drops the seed and covers it, all in one quick, efficient operation. Very little soil is disturbed to be washed away by the eroding forces of rain. Excessive soil erosion caused by water and wind hurt productivity on one of every three cropland acres in the U. S. last year. Annuallv on Virginia's croplands we are losing 6.6 tons of soil per acre and on the pastureland 4.4 tons per acre are being eroded away. For cropland, this amounts to 21.1 million tons. Pastureland is losing 14.3 million tons of soil annually. Loss of this valuable topsoil costs farmers money, because as the rich nutrients in the soil are washed away, they must be replaced by expensive chemical fertilizers. This cost is borne by the farmer and passed on to the consumer in the form ot higher food prices. Soil that is washed from the land finds its way to streams and is irretrievably lost. Silt clogged streams can cause flooding problems downstream and can affect drinking water supplies as the silt builds up in reservo irj. j. Conservalfoli tillage has been widely used for such crops as coco and soybeans, with winter cotter crops of rve or wheal. The Soil and Watei Conservation Districts art encouraging more ap plication of the no-till farm ing through the planting o all small grain crops ant especially pasturelanc renovation. "Many run-dowr pastures need to be com pletely reseeded simply because there are not enough desirable plants present tc form a productive sod. even il imed and fertilized. However, such areas should not be plowed, or even disked heavily, due to the threat ol soil erosion." according tc Dr. Harlan White of Virginia Tech. A seminar on all the aspects of productive no-till planting will be held on Monday December 13, beginning at. 8:45 a.m. at Dutchland Farms in Nokesville, Virginia. A Marliss pull-type No-till seeder will also be demonstrated. For further information, contact Diana Weand at the Prince William Soil and Water Conservation District (361 1710). REC Awarded Federal Loan The Rappahannock Electric Cooperative in Bowling Green has been awarded a loan of $8,957,000 by the Rural Electrification Administration in Washington for various system improvements, according to Seventh District Congressman J.

OtctMm nm Board Endorses “Ten For Life” The Rappahannock supervisors gave enthusiastic endorsement on Monday to a legislative proposal that would add $10 to fines imposed for moving traffic violations with the surcharge to go for support of emergency services. Frankie Huff, representing the county’s Fire and Rescue Association, told the board that the money added to fines levied for traffic violations, crashes and drunk driving would be deposited in the Virginia Rescue Squad Assistance Fund. He recalled that the $20,000 for Flint Hill’s new ambulance came from the Assistance Fund. Ninety percent of motor vehicle accidents involve traffic violations. Huff reported. “The violators are the ones who create a lot of work for the rescue squads,” he said, maintaining that those violators should rightfully be assessed the extra fine to support the state's rescue system. “It sounds like a good tax." responded supervisor H. B. Wood. "It's as fair as you can get!" Clarence Baldwin agreed. The board voted unanimously to authorize letters of support for the "Ten for Life" program. The letter's will go out to the county's representatives in Virginia's General Assembly. Senator Nathan Miller and Delegate Raymond R. "Andy" Guest. Huff noted that a southwest Virginia representative has agreed to introduce the legislation, which has already been drafted, in the upcoming Assembly session. Amendment Adopted A record for the county’s shortest public hearing was set at Monday’s board meeting. Up for consideration was , an amendment to the zoning ordinance to allow churches as a special permit use in an agriculture district. The amendment came before the supervisors with a unanimous recommendation for approval from the county’s planning commission. Chairman J. R. Latham opened the public hearing and then closed it about 30 seconds later after there was no response to his request tor speakers in favor of or op posed to the proposal. The only comment came after the board's vote to adopt the amendment. "I'd certainly like to say 'amen' to that!" Carson Johnson announced. The supervisors were also in unanimous agreement to contract with the Richmond firm of Industrial Insurance Management to review the county's insurance portfolio at a cost of SI.500 plus expenses. The same company is also handling a comprehensive review of the school hoard's insurance coverage. In another insurance related matter. commonwealth's attorney Douglas Baumgardner agreed to work with Carr and Hyde, the county's carrier, on liability coverage for construction of the communications tower being erected adjacent to the jail. The board filled two vacancies on local government-related bodies, appointing Sandra Brown to the Rappahannock Recreation Authority and former supervisor chairman E. P. Luke as the county's representative on the R appahannock - Rapidan Planning District Commission. Supervisor Hubert Gilkey requested postponement of the appointment of an emergency services coordinator until next month in order to give the Fire and Rescue Association time to make a recommendation. Naming of a replacement for Louis Moore on the Agricultural and Forestal District Advisory Committee was also tabled until January.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1<)82 Gift Idea From VFDs Smoke Detectors Provide Life Saving Margin Rappahannock's volunteer fire fighters are asking county residents to give the gift of life this Christmas. The local Fire and Rescue Association is suggesting smoke detectors as Christmas presents. "It’s the perfect gift for those people who are so hard to buy for,” said Frankie Huff, chairman of the Fire and Rescue Association’s smoke detector campaign. "We strongly advocate the use of at least one smoke detector in every house. If the residence has more than one floor, then you need one smoke detector on each floor.” According to national surveys, families whose homes are protected by a smoke detector cut their chances of dying in a house fire by one-third to one-half. In the early 1970s, detectors were owned by less than five percent of all households. By mid-1977, the first national survey of detector usage showed 22 percent of households had the alarm devices. By early 1980, that number had risen to 50 percent. A drop in fire fatalities beginning in 1978 corresponds to the increase in detector usage, according to Huff. "But even with more people installing smoke detectors, 6.000 Americans still lost their lives last year in house fires.” he noted. "Another 230,000 were injured and house fires destroyed S5 billion in property." As an example of the life saving impact of smoke detectors. Huff reported that all Navy and Marine Corps’ family housing was fully protected with detectors in 1979. Prior to that date, lives lost to fires in family housing averaged 5.8 a year. Since the detector program was instituted, there have been no lives lost in house fires among the 120.000 occupants of the 30,000 housing units. Most Vulnerable Surveys indicate that most of the homes not protected are those most vulnerable to fire: homes of the poor, the elderly, the handicapped and minorities. "The sad truth is that the majority of fire victims come from these groups,” said Huff, pointing out that the reason most often cited for not installing smoke detectors is that the devices are thought to be unimportant. "It’s the firecan-never-happen-to-me attitude,” he added. According to statistics, the segments of the U. S. population that still need detectors include: —67 percent of households that rent. —66 percent of households that earn less than 510,000 a year, —65 percent of non-white households. —61 percent of households headed by persons 65 or over, —59 percent of households headed by persons aged 18 to 24. —54 percent of households whose head did not finish high school, —52 percent of homeowners with homes worth less than $30,000. Smoke detectors cost between $10 and $50. Huff noted. Fire safety systems are also available for the deaf and hearing impaired, he added. The county’s fire and rescue units do not sell detectors. "But if anyone has a question, they can call their local fire department and they should be able to get assistance,” Huff said. In addition, fire fighters have information on regular detector maintenance and developing escape plans necessary to make optimal use of the extra time the smoke alarm provides. "A smoke detector can save your life—don’t stay home without one," Huff advised, repeating the theme of the Fire and Rescue Association’s campaign. This Was The News In Bygone Rappahannock Times... 10 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS Rappahannock Supervisors were introduced to Donald Ray Askew, who replaced James Skeens as the Resident Engineer of the Virginia Highway Department. “I must admit I haven’t been up many of your roads,” the new engineer said. The supervisors started right off by complaining about several Rappahannock County roads. Elizabeth Buntin of the Welfare Department asked for the authority to make decisions about applicants of the Welfare Department’s SLH Program without having to discuss the applicants publicly. “It’s demeaning and unethical to reveal information about people in the SLH program,” said Buntin. Panther tales reporter Susan Latham wrote in her weekly column that the Panther team was “out of sight". The team played Elkton and won a thriller at 75-68. Latham also reported that the faculty of RCHS had decided that gum chewing would be allowed as usual if permission was given in class by the teacher. If the new policy was abused, all gum chewing was to be abolished. John Groover of Culpeper, lineman for the Culpeper Blue Devil gridders, signed a full grant-in-aid scholarship with Virginia Polytechnic Institute. The Groovers were former residents of Rappahannock.

Letter To The Editor Trees By The Square Foot? To the editor Last week the Rappahannock New* published an advertisement that I had Christmas trees for sale at $3 per aquare foot. Having had several calls, and catcalls, on the subject, I believe it only fair that the matter be explained. The unimaginative, and certainly ungentlemanly, solution would be to accuse the newspaper of making an error. So. after some consideration, the following is my explanation. Some of my trees are very flat, designed to be put against a wall without occupying any room space. Naturally, they would be sold by the square foot. Decorations for such a tree should, of course, also be flat; coins, pancakes, small flounders and toys left in the driveway are examples. Most of my trees, however, have a conventional shape but cast a shadow on the ground. The area of the shadow determines the price. Obviously the best bargains are at noon and more importantly, customers do not bother me early, or late in the day. There are problems with measuring an area that is rapidly changing anyway. When I explained the above to one of my callers, he suggested that I see a psychiatrist. 1 did so. a local one who shall remain unnamed. He saw nothing abnormal about my method of charging but suggested that next year I sell by the square root. I don’t know who he should see for help. Thank you for your understanding in this matter. NELS PARSON Washington Our Rappahannock Heritage PEC Wins Grant For Uranium Work The Mary Reynolds Babcock Foundation of Winston-Salem, North Carolina has awarded the Piedmont Environmental Council of Warrenton, Virginia a $50,000 grant in support of its citizen education program, “Virginia Uranium: A Southeastern Concern”. PEC, a non-profit membership organization formed 10 years ago to promote thoughtful land-use planning in Virginia’s Piedmont, became involved in the uranium issue two years ago when some of its members were approached by Marline Uranium Cor poration to sign mining leases. Many of those who will be most immediately affected if uranium operations are permitted in Virginia live outside the PEC service area. The Babcock grant is designed to help PEC with the costs it has and will continue to incur in connection with its uranium education work in North Carolina and other areas outside the Virginia Piedmont. PEC is continuing its efforts to increase local financial support for its program, which will cost approximately $130,000 over the next two years. Since late 1980, PEC has THE MOUNTAIN OF PAPER disappeared into the ten-ton trailer due to the volunteer efforts of hard-working members of the Washington Fire Department. Another large trailer will be at the fire hall site to receive bundles of paper and magazines for the benefit of the fire department. Members hope that local residents will be able to fill up the trailer each month and plan to build steps to make access easier. Library Program s Story Tellers Wanted Can you tell a story? There are many native Rappahannockans who like to regale newcomers with tales of our county's past. Here's their opportunity - not to sit around the old woodstove on cracker barrels - but to come to the Rappahannock library on Tuesday, December 28th at 7:30 p.m. and, in an informal setting, talk out their stories. Ramsay Wood, Americanborn resident of London, while here visiting his mother, Barbara, has agreed to introduce this story-telling technique here. Ramsay brought this mode to London 2'/j years ago where he is a member of the College of British Story-tellers. This community entertainment is unique in that everyone may participate. It is not a performance or a "show". There are no scripts, no props, no memorizations or discussions of content. It is for the sole enjoyment of people who like to recount experiences, fantasies, tales, histories, or whatever to an attentive audience. This revival of the art of story-telling has met with varying degrees of success in Ramsay's London experience, and he is looking forward to introducing this concept here. He does suggest that small children tend to be disruptive and suggests that the programs are most enjoyable when the audience ranges from the teens to maturity. As the facilitator, he and his co-worker, Jill Wentworth, lead and involve the audience, but the real program is the responsibility of those in attendance. Santa Coming To Library Hi, Little Ones! Santa is making a special visit to the library again this year to hear your Christmas wishes. The annual Christmas Party given ! by the Rappahannock County Library for "little ones” between the ages of 2 ->■ and 7 will be held on Thursday, December 16 from 3:30 until 5:00 p.m. at the library. Mr. Waldron O'Connor will read a traditional Christmas piece. Mr. Jim Bayne will play his guitar and lead everyone in songs. Refreshments will round out the program. sponsored expert speakers on uranium issues for a variety of public hearings and meetings. published educational materials, and kept a close eye on the proceedings of the legislative committee charged with studying the public health and environmental risks of a Virginia uranium industry. This work has been paid for by PEC members’ dues and special gifts. PEC intends to use the new Babcock funding for additional technical assistance and to increase its educational efforts outside its service area. “Even with this generous grant we cannot hope to match the resources of the mining company,” noted Robert T. Dennis, PEC President, “but—especially if we get additional local support—we can be sure that the people who have a stake in the resolution of this issue have complete and reliable information on it.” Dennis went on to say that "if Virginia allows uranium production it will be the first state on the east coast to do so. The radioactive and other toxic by-products or uranium mining and milling do not recognize regional, state or county boundaries. The decision by one government to invite uranium production into its area can deny citizens of other jurisdictions the opportunity to avoid the risks involved in that decision. By joining PEC in its uranium education project. Mary Reynolds Babcock will help assure the participation of all affected citizens in this important public debate." The current moratorium on uranium mining expires on July 1, 1983. The General Assembly is expected to take some legislative action on the uranium issue during the upcoming session, which begins in January. Oil Recycling Program Home mechanics wondering what to do with used motor oil can find the answer at the Virginia Office of. Emergency and Energy Services, according to a clipping delivered to the News office by Mrs. John Schultz of Washington. Used oil can now be taken to service stations participating in Virginia’s Used Oil Recycling Campaign which began last weekend. The stations will store the oil until it can be picked up by a used oil collection firm. The oil is then cleaned and resold as heating or engine lubricant. For information on the recycling program call, tollfree. 800-552-3831. The list of stations in Northern Virginia that accept used mbtor oil includes Warrenton Exxon at 309 Lee Highway in Warrenton. -From Both BarrelsWho’s Afraid Of Virginia Wolf By GEORGE BOWLES There must be times when Gov. Charles S. Robb feels like the farmer who had the stubborn mule. The farmer solved his problem by hitting the mule over the head with a twoby-four when he wanted to get its attention. While it is unlikely the governor will resort to anything quite so drastic, he is taking extraordinary steps to alert Virginians to the increasingly grim fiscal plight facing the state government. In the view of Gov. Robb and his budget planners, the Commonwealth’s financial crunch is the most serious since the Great Depression 50 years ago. His problem is one of communicating its gravity to the citiznes, and of preparing them for the painful corrective actions which almost certainly will have to be taken. Some money-saving measures have already been decreed. The governor ordered a selective five-percent cut in state spending into effect on July 1. This cut was supposed to yield some S55 million, about enough to cover the originally anticipated shortfall in state revenues. He also has ordered a phased-in reduction of 1,500 state employees over the next two years. But now it appears these steps will be only the beginning of what ultimately will be required. The numbers for the first four months of the fiscal year, which began July 1, sent tremors through the administration. In order for the state to meet its 1982-83 general fund budget estimate of $3.1 billion, a revenue increase of 10.9 percent over the previous year would be necessary. But from July through October that increase languished at a frightening 5.9 percent. General fund money comes from sales and income taxes, and the recession is keeping sales low and unemployment high, thus restricting both revenue sources. compounding the problem is the possibility of further reductions in federal aid to the states. Virginia receives between 25 and 30 percent of its total budget funding from the federal government, making these grants-in-aid the Commonwealth’s principal source of revenue. But pressure is mounting on the Reagan administration to do something about its gargantuan deficits, and state aid money is a convenient target for early budget slashes at the federal level. These slashes will almost certainly be coming down the pike. The upshot of all this is that instead of $55 million, the state could face a staggering shortfall in the $200 million range. If this should happen it would have a devastating impact on scores of state services including education, corrections, health care and many others. The state’s always delicately balanced budget would be knocked into a cocked hat, and drastic remedial action would be required. The revised budget estimates are now in the process of being worked out, and on Dec. 17 they will be unveiled by the governor. The news is expected to be anything but good. Some proposals have already been made concerning possible new revenue sources. Writing in the University of Virginia Newsletter, economist John L Knapp raises the specter of higher taxes. He notes that Virginia’s state and local levys are 12 percent below the national average and could be increased. He suggests the possibility of expanding the sales tax to include such services as auto repairs and haircuts. He also notes that user charges such as college tuitions, hospital rates and road tolls could be raised. Del. J. W. “Billy" O'Brien of Virginia Beach says he will introduce a bill in the 1983 legislative session establishing a state lottery. Beyond the obvious—but( politically explosive—option of a tax hike, money-saving possibilities available to the governor might include a far larger across-the-board spending cut and a freeze on all capital construction. To underscore the gravity of the situation, Gov. Robb has taken an unprecedented step. Always in the past, the governor has delivered his State of the Commonwealth address shortly after noon on the General Assembly's opening day. Gov. Robb, however, has requested and received permission from the Speaker of the House to address the 1983 legislature in the evening. His speech will be carried statewide on prime-time television. He will be, in effect, wielding a verbal two-byfour to get the attention of both the lawmakers and the citizens. such a dramatic departure from tradition is entirely appropriate. Virginians are -used to hearing their governor proclaim his devotion to fiscal conservatism on the day the assembly convenes. It’s a part of the ritual. But this time it’s different. The wolf is really at the door. The governor will be proposing some tough corrective measures, and if he wants them accepted by the people and approved by the lawmakers, he must first find a way to make both worry about that wolf. —Oft New* Photo/D Halchineon A SPECIAL GIFT for a special homemaker—In recognition of her 50 years of membership in extension homemakers’ clubs, Katherine Riley was presented with a special gift at the Amissville club’s Christmas party Monday evening.

Part II Child Restraint Law By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock Mrw« Staff Writer Parents throughout the state will benefit from the efforts of a small group of Virginia women who have been waging a campaign for years against the leading killer of young children in the Commonwealth. The amazing fact about this killer is that prevention would have saved at least 80 percent of the tiny victims and spared countless Virginia families unspeakable suffering. While this killer does not inspire the public outrage caused by disease and birth defects, it claims far more young lives. The killer is the automobile, the women are the Virginia Highway Safety Leaders, and the prevention is a crashtested child restraint device that will be required by law starting January 1. tstepnen t. Lamp, coordinator for this area’s Department of Transportation Saf*ety, is charged with public education for this new law, and he believes it will take a little bit of doing to sell the concept to the public. Presently, only a tiny .percentage of Virginia drivers use child restraint devices for their young children," Camp said. “People see it as a nuisance and as a threat to their personal freedom.” Camp used the analogy of inoculations as an example of the state protecting the small child from parents who may be unwilling to do so themselves. “Now, most parents agree tha the inoculation program is a necessity for the well-being of their children." A similar law has been in effect for several years in Tennessee and Massachussetts: North Carolina’s law went into effect on July 1. Will there be problems with enforcement?

Store Coupon Camp admits that the law is “full of holes.” He expects that most of the fines for failure to observe the new law will occur when an officer stops a vehicle for another reason, or when he just happens to notice a child “crawling on the dashboard". This law has had a great deal of support from the state police,” Camp said, “even though it will be another chore for them.” They are the ones on the front lines - the ones who see the tragic accidents that could have been prevented.” Failure to observe the new law will be a civil offense, with a fine of $25 attached. The money from fines will be tised to purchase and provide seats for those unable to buy them. Lamp gives credit for the new law to the Virginia Highway Safety Leaders, who have lobbied for years to see this safety measure passed. In the 1980 session, a bill was introduced and never made it out of committee. Opponents of the child restraint law have many arguments, addressed by the Virginia Department of Transportation in its educational pamphlet: “My child doesn’t need a safety seat. I’m a careful driver.” An average 217,000 drivers are involved in motor vehicle crashes annually in Virginia. Ninety-one thousand of these drivers were not at fault. Your best protection against bad drivers, bad weather, car failure and circumstances beyond your control is to secure your children in safety seats and yourself in a safety belt system. “My child refuses to sit in one of those seats.” Children also refuse to eat balanced meals, go to bed at night, take medicine and other things necessary for their well being. Riding in a child safety seat should be a ‘must' that parents insist on. Children who ride in them at an early age often accept and enjoy their own special seats. “Those seats are such a hassle to use.” - The New Law - Effective Jan. 1, 1983 Children under age four must be secured in child safety seats while riding in a Virginia registered vehicle manufactured after Jan. 1, 1968 and driven by a parent °r legal guardian. Seats must meet Superintendent of Virginia State Police approval. Children 40 lbs. or over may be secured in a standard safety belt. Three-yearolds, whose weight and size make the use of a seat impractical, may use a safety belt. Under The Law Exemptions: If certified medical reasons, interior car design or the number of occupants in a motor vehicle make child safety seat use impractical they are not Inquired. Safety seats are not required in buses, public transportation, school buses or farm vehicles. Penalties: Failure to use child safety seats when required may result in a $25 civil fine which will be used toward purchasing and providing seats on loan for those unable to buy one. The court may waive or suspend the penalty if a defendant cannot afford a seat. Failure to have a physician’s exemption statement with you while carrying a child may result in a $10 fine. Violations do not constitute negligence per se and do not constitute defense in any personal injury claim for a child or recovery of accident sustained medical injury expenses. Seats on Loan: Anyone financially unable to buy a child safety seat may apply to the Virginia Department of Transportation Safety to borrow one. Judgement Opposed By School Board Harrisonburg lawyer Douglas L Guyn, on behalf of the Rappahannock County School Board, filed a motion to strike last week, requesting the court to throw out the commonwealth's attorney’s request for a declaratory judgement on Freedom of Information issues. Douglas K. Baumgardner had asked Judge Shore Robertson for a ruling on whether architectural reports and analysis sought by both his office and the Rappahannock News are exempt from disclosure requirements under Virginia's Freedom of Information Act. In a letter dated November 10 confirming his intention to file for declaratory judgement, Baumgardner emphasized that he was not pursuing injunctive relief against the school board for refusing to release the documents and would not consider requesting such relief until he had a definitive ruling from Judge Robertson. The response from the school board’s attorney appears to be an attempt to avoid that definitive ruling. Guyn asks the court to strike Baumgardner’s pleadings on the grounds that he failed to file an affidavit to support his petition. The commonwealth’s attorney maintained this week, however, that an affadavit is required in injunctive action or with a writ of mandamus, not for a declaratory judgement. In his motion to strike, Guyn also charged that Baumgardner's hill of complaint "contains various opinions and incorporates by reference numerous unnumbered allegations by individuals other than Petitioner." In addition, Guyn acknowledges that Baumgardner requested copies of architectural reports and analysis on August 23; that upon advice of counsel, the school board denied his request and that the board acted in the interest of the public by not disclosing the reports. He repeats the board’s position that the reports are exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. It only take a few seconds to properly buckle your child in a safety seat. Any extra time involved is worth the protection and peace of mind it provides. “I’m just going on a short trip around town." Most accidents occur at speeds less than 40 mnh and close to home. S; . seats are needed around town as much as on the highway. “I don’t want my child to be trapped." nres or suomerston in water rarely occur in automobile crashes. If quick escape is necessary, you and vour child are more likely to remain conscious, uninjured and able to get out of the car if you are both buckled up. “Those special child seats cost too much.” Good safety seats cost the equivalent of two or three tanks of gas. The four years of protection a safety seat offers your children makes it the least inexpensive life and health insurance you can buy them. Communities are dealing with the new law in different ways. In Hampton, there is a first ride, safe ride program which provides a child restraint device for any infant leaving the hospital. Civic groups are furnishing car seats to parents, with the requirement that they return each month to see if the seat still fits the child. "We don't want anyone to fail to use the car seats because of expense," Camp said. He suggested the seat as an ideal present for new parents. “But don't just buy them one." he said. “Go with them in their car for ihe purchase and make sure ii fils the car and the parents' needs. Otherwise. they won’t use it." One important requirement under the law is that the seat he approved. “This is not something to worry consumers unduly." Camp said. "Most of the devices sold in Virginia are approved.” Not only do the devices protect children, but the other passengers in the car. "We had a case last year," Camp said, “where a child was asleep with his head in his mother's lap. Upon awakening, he grabbed the steering wheel to raise up. steered the car across the median and under a tractortrailer. killing five people. 1 wish those who say it's ‘too much trouble' to strap chilren in could have seen that reck." There are no laws governing the restraint of children over four, but Camp singled out some dangers to their safety. "Never, never allow children (or adults) to ride in the back of a station wagon or pick-up truck. They have no protection and. of course, no seat bells." There are many types of restraint systems and they apply for children from birth until they're ready for an adult seat belt. Information on the various approved types is available in a pamphlet at the Rappahannock News office. + + + + At birth, a kangaroo is less than 1 inch long.

After opening the service as usual, Rev. Merlin Shorb announced the Thanksgiving surprise, declaring it Russie Miller Day. Louie Miller presented his mother with a white carnation corsage while Mrs. Sandra Foster Hawkins, one of Russie’s first piano students, accompanied the choir as it sang her favorite humn, “Is Is No Secret What God Can Do.” Paula Miller Howell made a short presentation honoring her mother and Paula’s children, Karen, Denise, Christine, Gordon and Susan Howell, added a song, "Friendship,” to the ceremonies. Denise then read a poem about love, friendship and special people such as her grandmother. l_hoir member bobby Gehringer told amusing anecdotes about Russie’s church activities. He was followed by Barbara Gentry who read a letter from M. R. "Boo" Bradford while Mr. Bradford presented the honoree with a memory scrapbook. And the outpouring of love and thanks continued. H. S. Barksdale gave Mrs. Miller a check, a gift from the church in recognition of her quarter of a century of dedicated service. Mary Curtis listed the many community and church positions Russie has held. Mrs. Charles Foster presented an engraved silver Paul Revere bowl, a gift from the choir. Rev. Shorb then proceeded with his sermon and the congregation concluded the served with “Blest Be the Tie That Binds." Everyone was invited to the firehall for a reception where the table was decorated with a "grand piano” cake centerpiece, baked by Mrs. Charlotte Turnmeyer, another of Mrs. Miller’s early piano students.

^Holiday Gifts From Your Kitchen; I By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Homemade gifts have a kind of special appeal recognized by everyone. As spare time becomes harder and harder to find, presents that take time to make are more precious by far than those that take only money to buy. Often good cooks plan edible Christmas gifts as an economy measure. In these days of high grocery costs, economy does not always result. But the thought and care that go into homemade gifts make them worth much, much more than the cost of their ingredients. Many of us know elderly people who are on restricted diets. For them, choose a present that they're allowed to eat. Sometimes, thought's good for an elderly person to have some holiday treats on hand for people whodrop in. Surely, you will get some ideas in the following recipes. Others you can find yourself: a container of soup with a loaf of bread and some cheese; an assortment of jams with muffins and butter; a ham, roast or r chicken already prepared—the possibilities are endless. Cheese Straws Makes 64 A labor of love, these fragile cheese pastries will stretch your imagination when gift wrapping.

Fund Spectra Sets Summer Courses Spectra School of Design and Building, located in Flint Hill, has announced its summer schedule of courses. Focussing on “An Introduction to the Field of Architecture and Building,” the summer school schedule includes three separate fourweek programs starting in May and ending at the end of August. According to Director Donald Chandler, this will allow the maximum flexibility in high school and college student schedules so as to accomodate students from all levels. Summer session dates are: 1st session: May 23-June 19; 2nd session: June 24 - July 24: 3rd session: July 29 - August 28. Each session runs for 31 days with students attending 7 days a week. Enrollment is open to high school, community college and college students, as well as to anyone with an interest in exploring the field of architecture. Chandler hopes to familiarize the students with the creative world of building, and to bring closer together the different aspects of that building world: building technology, clients, artists, engineers, contractors, skilled personnel, architectural history, landscape architecture, conservation, and energy. Combining a hands-on approach to architure with an opportunity to experience a practicing architect’s office, students will be involved in every aspect of architecture from initial contact with the client through design and construction. For additional information on the summer course and other educational offerings of Spectra, contact the director at 703-675-3288 or 703-3561991.

Panthers Drop Two In Tough Contests By joe McCullough Rappahannock New* Sport* Writer Rappahannock’s varsity Panthers dropped two hardfought contests against “Double A” and “Triple A" non-district opponents to open the 1982-83 basketball season. On Tuesday night at home before a supportive proPanther crowd, RCHS was beaten by the William Monroe Dragons, 46-49, after 24 minutes of truly exciting basketball. The Dragons dropped the ball through the net first for a 2-0 lead. Point guard Robert Myers was the first Panther to find the bucket and then forward Clarence Pendleton tied the tally at six all before William Monroe grabbed a 10-6 -first quarter advantage. In the second period, strong defense by both teams For all your office needs Call on us! B-K Office Supply, Inc. 54 S.

With nine ticks left on the clock. Rapp’s sophomore guard Jeff Porter knocked the ball loose and it was scooped up by Doyle Dunn who tied the score with a behind the back lay-up to finish the first half. The Dragons opened up the second half after just over two minutes had elapsed with a three point play, setting the score at 19-16. The Panthers suffered through a dry spell for five minutes before they got on the scoreboard with Mike Leake’s short jumper, making it 18-24. Early foul trouble put the Dragons at the charity stripe and they took advantage of the opportunity to stay in front of RCHS. Leake had an impressive two minute performance in which he scored eight points, made one steal and pulled down four rebounds. Two free throws by Jeff Porter helped a Panther run that cut William Monroe's eight point lead to just a single point, 28-29, at the end of the third quarter. But the Panthers failed to execute on offense in the final period and fell short at the buzzer, 46-49. Leake had a game high 26 points and 17 rebounds. JV Victorious Rappahannock's junior varsity team captured its first win for coach Valeric Gehringer in the preliminary contest Tuesday night with an impressive 35-21 victory over the Junior Dragons. The Panthers captured an early 16-9 lead and held their edge for the entire game. Early foul trouble for William Monroe and control of the boards coupled with a 20 point performance by Tommy Jenkins assured Rappahannock of the win. “We practice like winners and we play like winners so we are winners,” said Ms. Gehringer. summing up her feelings about her first win as a boys’ basketball coach. Downed By Warren The Panthers opened the 1982-83 season at home last Thursday against the Warren County Wildcats with flat second-half play that gave the opponents from over the mountain a 53-74 win. Leake put RCHS in front early with a soft jumper, connecting on the first basket of the game after two minutes of play. The rest of the first quarter was a seesaw with each team countering the other’s attack. At the end of the opening quarter, the tally was tied at nine all. In the second quarter, Myers put the icing on an exciting run by the Panthers with two free throws to stretch the lead to 17-11. Rappahannock kept its advantage over the Wildcats with strong defense and powerful offensive rebounding until the clock showed just 50 seconds in the half. In the turning point of the contest, Warren County surged back in front, stealing the momentum from the Panthers and a 23-25 edge at the half. The Wildcats were still pumped up when they came back out on the court from the locker room and quickly pulled to a 31-43 lead. The going got rougher for RCHS when Leake and Myers were each tagged with their fourth fouls. A hush settled over the gym as Panther fans watched the lead oveir the home team stretched from 39-49 at the third quarter to 53-75 at the final buzzer. Warren County had three players in double Figures. The only Panther in that range was Mike Leake who was credited with a game high 18 points. The team total on rebounds was an impressive 41 but 23 turn-overs, 30 percent shooting from the field and 50 percent shooting from the charity, stripe explained the loss. The Wildcats made it a clean sweep with a 46-34 win over a much shorter Rappahannock junior varsity. The Junior Panthers lead only once in the game after a shot by Deryk Moore put them on top, 7-6. The rest of the contest was spent trailing a well-disciplined Warren contingent. Tommy Jenkins and Thomas Rector lead the J.V. squad with 10 and 9 points respectively.

Volunteers Needed For Park Program Shenandoah National Park is seeking volunteers for an expanded Campground Host Program. These volunteers will be recruited for the 1983 season beginning in early spring. Persons selected to be Campground Hosts will provide assistance to campers in three Park campgrounds by supplying information about fees and Park activities. They will assist Park rangers by helping campers find their site, doing minor cleanup of the grounds and restrooms between scheduled maintenance crew visits, reporting problems, and being available to assist on resource management projects. Volunteers will need to furnish their own camping equipment (trailer or tent) and be available for a minimum of two months. They will be expected to work several hours a day. five days per week, including weekends and holidays. Camping fees will be waived; however, no other compensation is available. Interested persons should inquire by telephone (703) 999-2243 or by writing the Chief Park Ranger. Shenandoah National Park, Luray. Virginia 22835, to obtain the necessary application form. Time To Think About Bird Feeding Nature enthusiasts interested in serious birdwatching or feeding in their own backyards can begin by requesting one or both of two excellent publications which are free for the asking. The Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries has a pamphlet entitled “Nesting Boxes, Feeding Stations, Bird Houses and Wildlife Shelters.” This fully miimiHimimiiiiiimmniiiiiniiiiiii illustrated guide shows suggested methods of feeder and house construction for a large variety of birds and animals which are found in the Commonwealth. The pamphlet is available from the Education Division, Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries, Box 11104, Richmond, VA 23230-1104. If you are in a quandry about what food mixture to place in your feeder, the colorful four-page guide entitled "Feeding Wild Birds” is available. This research paper is also free and includes a chart explaining what seeds certain birds prefer. Ask for this publication by writing to Dr. Peter Bromley, 150 Cheatham Hall, Virginia Polytechnic and State University, Blacksburg, VA Anyone who has been in the woods recently will have noticed a flurry of pre-winter activity displayed by other members of the outdoor world. The mast crop has been excellent again this year and feeding activity is well evidenced by the scratching from deer and turkey. Soft mast such as berries, grapes and dog£i%od fruit is also bountiful and migratory songbirds are well supplied with nourishment. Biologists advise that if you plan to begin feeding birds this season, now is the time to start as winter is coming to stay. Once started, the feeding should continue until spring thaws as the birds fast become dependent upon you as their provider. 1 Order Now For Spring William C. Vernam, forester with the Virginia Division of Forestry, reports that now is the time for landowners in Rappahannock County to order trees for planting in the spring of 1983. “Landowners should examine their properties now with the view to planting trees next spring” says Vernam. Eighteen species of trees are being raised in Division of Forestry nurseries for spring planting 1983. Loblolly pine, white pine, shortleaf pine, Norway spruce, Scotch pine, yellow poplar and black walnut are among the forest tree and Christmas tree species offered for sale. Wildlife species include autumn olive, shurb lespedeza and sawtooth oak. Seedling prices range from $16.00 to $50.00 per thousand trees with approximately 800 trees needed to plant an acre of open land. Planting site recommendations are available upon request. “Why should I plant trees?” is a question many landowners ask,” according to Vernam. “Benefits include a future timber crop, increased land value, reduction of soil erosion and stream sedimentation problems, increased wildlife habitat and air pollution reduction. Cutover land, abandoned fields, hillside sites are good planting areas.” Special Olympics There will be an Area 1? Special Olympics meeting Monday, December 13. at the Lord Culpeper Inn (401 South Main Street; Culpeper), at 5:00 PM. Athletes will be chosen to go on the ski trip in January at Wintergreen at this time. Anyone interested in volunteering with the program is invited to attend.

Say aloha to cosmopolitan Honolulu and the island of Oahu with Diamond Head; Pearl Harbor; the USS Arizona; Punchbowl (the extinct volcano crater that serves as the U.S. Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific) and America’s only royal palace. We’ll have time to see them ail during three leisurely days on the island. Relax on Waikiki Beach and enjoy this fine view of Diamond Head. Swim, sunbathe or just enjoy a leisurely stroll in the sand. Our famous, deluxe-class hotel on beautiful Waikiki Beach is a resort in itself. Step out the doorand you're ready for an evening stroll over still-warm sand, under waving palm trees. A full-day tour circling the island and visits to a banana farm and a dairy operation make our stay on Oahu even more special. The luxuriant Garden Isle of Kauai may be Hawaii's best kept secret.

The same thing that many older Rappahannock natives have been doing for years. Spread them on the garden patch. The nutrient content of wood ashes varies, but in general, they contain about 2 percent phosphate, 5 percent potash, and small amounts of boron and other elements. Besides supplying nutrients, wood ashes improve the tilth of the soil and have about one-half the neutralizing r, t FAUQUIER LIVESTOCK EXCHANGE INCORPORATED REGULAR SALES Every Tues.

That is, 20 lbs. of wood ashes equals 10 lbs. of lime. If you have a small garden plot or have been applying lime regularly, we recommend that you take a soil sample before spreading wood ashes. Also, take a soil sample every three or four years to make sure the pH doesn’t go much above 6.5. Suggested rates are 10-20 lbs. of wood ashes per 1,000 sq. ft. per year. A 10-quart pail, filled to within 2” of the top, will hold about 5 lbs. of wood ashes, so 2-4 pails may be used per 1,000 sq. ft. Rototill or mix the wood ashes into the soil before planting. The reason for the 20 lb. per 1,000 sq. ft. per year maximum for wood ash application is that wood ashes may contain 1-3 lbs. of boron per ton. At a rate of 50 lbs. per acred ton per acre), toxicity problems may develop. Since asparagus plants require relatively high rates of boron, the asparagus patch is an excellent place to start spreading your wood ashes. Let the ashes set overnight and cool before spreading over the asparagus crowns. Bluefin tuna are among the largest and fastest of fish. They continue to grow throughout their lifespan; an old-timer of 30 years will weigh about 1.500 pounds. National Geographic says. May We Suggest For the Holidays, or any days.. .

Marocchi and Bridges are not hoping to keep the bees in by stinging them back, but protecting them from the black bears that are the bane of bee-keepers in this county. Electric fences are not unusual—many local beekeepers must use them if they hope to harvest any of the honey that both bears and people love. What is unusual about the Marocchi-Bridges project is that it’s powered entirely by the sun. Their unit is able to both use sunlight to electrify the fence and to store it for as many as twenty light-less days. "And if that situation ever comes about, bears will be the least of our worries,” Marocchi said. Marrocchi read about the sun-powered fence in the American Bee Journal, ordered the battery and constructed the fence. He figures the whole operation cost about $150.00. He used scrap plastic pipe to insulate the posts, stringing four i strands of wire, two “hot" and two ground wires between them. Marocchi thinks that there is no reason why the photovoltaic cell unit could not be used to provide power for any kind of electric fence, whether for bees, horses or cattle. On an unseasonably warm Monday, there were no tlowers in bloom, but the bees were out - “cleansing themselves" - according to Marocchi. Adding to their soft buzz was the reassuring click-click of the battery, storing up sunshine power for the dark days ahead. v y — How It Works -—Marocchi uses four wires - two hot and two ground wires alternating. The lowest ground wire fastens to the steel posts at ground level. The upper ground wire is connected by insulated wire to the lowest ground and all lines are placed 8-10 inches apart. Hot wires, like grounds, are connected with insulated wire and then to the appropriate connection on the charger (again with insulated wire). —Barbed wire is used, to penetrate the bear's thick insulating fur to deliver the necessary shock. A smooth wire may never make contact with the skin, resting on top of the animal's fur. —The solar unit decreases maintenance problems by keeping a constant charge. The sun shines on a small inclined panel at the top of the unit, where photovoltaic cells transform the sun's energy into electricity and into the wires surrounding the bee-yard. For more information on photovoltaic unit, write to Parker McCrory Manufacturing Company, 3175 Terrace Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111. Th'^je 'enjoying (his week’s mild weather may be inclined to agree with Dr. Donald L. Gilman of the NationaV Weather Service who says that the eastern United States will be warmer than average this winter. Gilman is basing his prediction on1; information gathered by weather balloons, satellites, shlps-at sea and the shifting patterns of the high, westerly jet streams. It was those ships at sea that discovered that there were unusually warm waters along the equator in the Pacific Ocean. The waters, found in a narrow strip between Hawaii and Fiji, are 5 to 7 degrees warmer than usual. This pool of warm water, occurring only eight times in the past 40 years, has already resulted in (he hurricane that struck Hawaii earlier this month, and Gilman said that the effect for the east coast will be a wetter than usual winter as well as a warmer one. Gilman’s prediction flies in the face of the Old Fanner’s Almanac, which makes predictions every year based on natural phenomena like sunspots, volcanic dust and wooly worms, which were found by Almanac readers to be woolier, more abundant, and blacker this year. The wooly worm watchers at the Almanac foresee a winter of "incredible” cold, with temperatures 5 to 8 degrees colder than average. But whatever side you pick, you have a good chance of being right. Gilman acknowledged that no prediction has much better than a 50-50 chance of hitting the mark. Nevertheless, he has fearlessly forecast a 60 to 65 percent chance of a mild winter. Whom to believe? The Rappahannock News, with the help of the National Park Servict plans to keep abreast of temperatures and rainfall at the end of each month, comparing the figures with those from last year at the same time to see if this winter runs warmer or colder than normal. Since we have no local weather station, we’ll use statistics from Big Meadow, recorded by the Park Service. While temperatures and precipitation will be different from Rappahannock’s, the statistics will answer our question—who is right—the wooly worms or the weather service. Who Is Right?
