VIRGINIA Phone 67.',-3340 25' Kidwell Indicted For Spellman Shooting Fighting tears and holding tightly to her husband Roger’s hand, Diane Kidwell listened as a Rappahannock grand jury returned a true bill late last Friday on her indictment for murder in the shooting death of Ranee Spellman. The manager of Ms. Patricia Saltonstall’s Pointsof-View Farm, Spellman was reportedly felled by a shotgun blast on November 9 while widening a disputed right-ofway that serves the Kidwells’ property and three lots owned by $altonstall. who arrived at the scene on route 729 near Flint Hill just minutes after the shooting found Spellman dead on his bulldozer. The 37-year-old farm manager was armed with a pistol in a concealed shoulder holster and a shotgun but neither had been discharged, according to report s. The regular gTand jury was called back into session Friday to consider the indictment after the completion of an investiga'ion into the shooting conducted by a special grand jury. The empanelment of the special grand jury had been requested by Rappahannock's Commonwealth’s Attorney Douglas Baumgardner. The five-member regular grand jury began its session at 10 a.m. last Friday. December 10. The jurors —^Aileen Barnes, Estelle Dennis. Kevin Day. Sherry Ralls and foreman David Arnold — listened to testimony from Virginia State Trooper R. A. Baines, State Police Sgt. M. G. Millner, Rappahannock Sheriff W. A. Buntin, Ms. Saltonstall and Roger Kidwell. The last witness exited from the jury room at 4:30 p.rp. and a half hour later, the foreman delivered two true bills against Diane Kidwell, one for murder and the second for use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Judge Thomas Horne set a $2 5,000 personal recognizance bond for Kidwell with a deed of trust on the family’s property as surety.

The county’s request for $478,193 from the new community development block grant program’s first funding cycle was rejected two weeks ago and last Tuesday, the State Water Control Board “deferred" the $1.4 million construction grant set aside for the Sperryville project. But chances look good for Rappahannock lo secure a community development block grant when awards for the secor.d funding cycle are announced sometime in late summer, according to the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District’s executive director who prepared the initial application. “We could use the block grant money almost immediately to get the engineers to finish the design so we can get the hard cost estimates for the EPA grant," Capelle said. referring to the $1.4 million from the federal Environmental Protection Agency funneled through the State Water Control Board. “We could fill out the Step 111 application in the fall (and assuming the deferred $1.4 million is re-allocated to the Sperryville project) we could be ready to build in the spring of 1984.” Capelle, Supervisors Richard Latham and Charles Estes, and Water and Sewer Authority members Carson Johnson. Bob Dennis, and Clifford Miller met in Richmond last week with representatives from Housing and Community Development and the Water Control Board to find out exactly what went wrong with the county's block grant application. Need Low “We didn't do well in meeting the need criteria, not nearly as well as 1 thought we would," Capelle said. Out of 1,000 points available under the block grant evaluation system, 340 are allotted to the need category. Of the 22 applications approved in the first funding cycle, the average points scored for relative need were 232, according to Capelle. Rappahannock scored just 120.

No More Money For Fuel Program The Department of Social | Services abruptly ended Virginia's 1982-83 fuel ' assistance progrni as of the I close of business at welfare | offices across the state on i Friday evening, December I 10. | According to Social I Services Commissioner j William L. Lukhard, | Virginia's allocation for the j federally funded program 1 was the same for this winter [ as for last, $36.5 million. As | of December 7, the comj missioner reported, about i $27 million had been obligated to approved fuel assistance recipients. "Applications filed through Friday. December 10, will be processed and those approved for fuel assistance will be served," Lukhard emphasized. "We are not eliminating this program but we must stop taking new applications before we run out of money.” Sylvia Kreitler, director of Rappahannock’s social services, said that 136 applications had been received at the local welfare office as of last Friday. Families that applied by the cut-off date will have their applications processed and if approved, will get the full amount of fuel assistance for which they qualify, she said. Although the regular fuel assistance program has ended, the Rappahannock welfare office will continue to accept emergency fuel assistance applications, according to Kreitler. Requirements for qualifying are more stringent, however. Applicants must have run out of fuel or face utility shut-off and their readily available cash resources must not exceed $500, Kreitler said. In addition, families that have received benefits under the regular fuel assistance program are not eligible for this one-time emergency payment of up to $150. Applicants for emergency help with fuel bills must also meet the regular fuel assistance programs’ income guidelines, noted Kreitler. $6,000 Requested Rappahannock’s social services director has requested an additional $6,000 from the state for (Continued on Page 3) State Suggests Dump Improvement The Board of Zoning Appeals took steps last Friday to ensure that state Health Department recommendations for improving operations at the county’s dump are followed by the company that handles Rappahannock’s trash. Last month, updating the N special use permit granted to Community Trash and Clifton Clark for a solid waste disposal on Clark’s property near Woodville, the BZA asked for a review of the site by the Health Department’s Bureau of Solid Waste and Vector Control. A report from Robert Forman, head of that department, was submitted at last week's Friday session. Forman noted that "more daily cover is needed plus compaction of the daily cover to help repel down rain.” He proposed "final grading and seeding" of finished areas for erosion control. "Leachate has stopped,” noted Forman in apparent reference to earlier problems with water draining off the solid waste. “However, if final grade and seeding are not carried out properly and soon, down water through the winter months will cause more leachate problems later,” he concluded. Bill Fletcher, attorney for the Clarks, questioned whether the BZA has authority to control operations at the dump site. “You have to leave that to the Health Dpartment,” he said, stressing that if operations didn’t meet Health Department criteria, the Department would close the dump. Chairman Lee Bird acknowledged that the BZA lacked authority to regulate the solid waste disposal site. "We’re trying to determine where the authority resides...The state made a report. It's proper for us to see that the state’s recommendations are carried out." If requirements aren’t met, the dump will be Shut down, Fletcher repeated. Should Clark’s property be abandoned, he added, the county will have to spend $10,000 to $15,000 to prepare a new site. “We ought to have balance in this thing,” the attorney maintained. Bird countered that the state determined Clark’s property to be adequate as a landfill “with these corrections.” If it will cost the county $15,000 to prepare a new dump, "we ought to see that the contract operator makes the corrections to ensure that this site can continue to be used,” the BZA chairman said. With the board’s approval. Zoning Administrator David Konick was directed to see that Forman’s recommendations are brought to the attention of Community Trash. Variance Approved After a recess for an onsite inspection, the BZA members voted 4-1, with Peter Kramer opposed, to grant Elmer Atkins a variance to side yard setback requirements specified in the county’s zoning ordinance. Atkins requested the variance for a 20 feet by 60 feet addition to a cold storage building, part of his cider pressing operation off route 651 in Sperryville. Atkins presented a letter from adjoining landowner (Continued on Page 3) — Rappahannock Nf\»« Pholo/I). Hutchinson A BLANKET OF SNOW greeted Rappahannock Sunday morning. The storm, early for the winter season, left three inches or so accumulation. But highway crews cleared the county’s roads so schools could open as usual on Monday morning, much to the dismay of youngsters who were looking forward to a day on the slopes and a taste of the upcoming Christmas vacation. Catholic Retreat Center Wins Zoning Approval Kappahannock s Board of Zoning Appeals issued a special use permit last week to Thomas J. Welch. Catholic Bishop of the Arlington Biocese, to operate a retreat center on 207 acres of the former Dawson farm near Huntly. The Bishop didn’t appear at the public hearing last Friday morning in the basement of the clerk's office. Instead, attorney Maurice Biddle and James Bayne, who will supervise activities at Bethany House, explained the center’s program. Clientele will be drawn from the same segment of the population that participated in the first Bethany House, operated by Bayne and his wife for two years from a rented private residence just outside the town of Washington, Biddle noted. “There were no complaints...They were good neighbors." When the Dawsons resided at Sommarbeth Farm. 11 houses on the property were rented, generating considerable traffic on route 662, the access road from route 522. Biddle said. "But there was no problem with daily traffic.” he reported. The proposed retreat center is planned to accommodate up to eight families and groups of 60 with the total-, not to exceed 120 people at any one time. "That will mean about eight cars and an occasional bus load...only on weekends." the attorney said. He acknowledged that Catholic Church officials are aware that "neither the county nor the stale has money available to widen the road (route 662)... We have no (Continued on Page 7) THE FLINT HILL COMMUNITY was amply fed at the holiday pot-luck dinner sponsored by the Ladies Auxiliary.

Unemployment Drops To 8.2% The latest manpower bulletin from- the Culpeper office of the Virginia Employment Commission has good news on the state of Rappahannock’s economy. After topping 11 percent in September, the county’s unemployment rate dropped to 8.2 percent in October. The latest figure moves Rappahannock from the top of the unemployment ladder in the five-county area to the next-to-the-bottom rung. Only Fauquier County, with 5.1 percent of its work force idle, had a lower unemployment rate for the month. For October, rates in neighboring jurisdictions stood at 13.7 percent in Orange, 10.6 percent in Madison and 8.6 percent in Culpeper. During the same month, the average for the Rappahannock -Rapidan Planning District was 10.7 percent, above both the state (7.8 percent) and national (9.9 percent) jobless rates as reported by the VF.C. The improvement in Rappahannock over September’s unemployment level is attributable to a decrease in both the number of people out of work and the total labor force. According to the VEC bulletins, the county’s labor force numbeccd,»2.602 in September and 2,544 in October while the number of idle workers dropped from 2% to 208 during the same period. The number of people employed climbed from 2,306 in September to 2,336 in October. Rappahannock was the only jurisdiction served by the Culpeper VEC office to show an increase in the number of employed persons in the labor force in October. According to the VEC bulletin, the consumer price index for all urban consumers was 294.1 for October, up .3 over September and 5.1 for the year. New Gold Cup Course Will Be Great Meadow The future home of the Virginia Gold Cup races near The Plains has been given its permanent name, "Great Meadow." The Meadow Outdoors Foundation, managing the sweeping 240 acre property along two miles of Rt. 17 and 245 in perpetual open space for area turf events, announced the selection this week from among nearly 100 proposed names for the site. The Gold Cup event is expected to move from its present Broadview site in Warrenton to Great Meadow in May of 1984 or 1985. Arthur W. Arundel, of The Plains, who established the new site and Foundation earlier this year and is heading an experienced group designing the course for future stecplechasing and other turf sports, commented, "Great Meadow speaks to what it looks like. We shall, though, have to earn the adjective, 'Great'." Proceeds from Gold Cup meetings and other events at the site will go to Fauquier Volunteer Fire and Rescue squads and other community charities. Approved as a 501c-3 tax deductible organization, the Foundation is head by Chairman Maximiliam Tufts of Warrenton. who was named Fauquier County's Man of the Year in 1981 for his long record of public service in conservation of open spaces and community civic work. A long abandoned nameless farm which had grown up in weed, the properly was purchased earlier this year in Warrcnton bankruptcy proceedings from a former owner by Mr. Arundel who had the concept of a permanent site for turf sports. Commonly referred to in the area as a "huge watery crayfish field." the site has since undergone intensive water drainage and soil work, and been approved for public events use by Fauquier planners and the board of supervisors. The newly seeded turf course now has its first early stand of new grass. A spokesman said nearly $110.000 has been spent out of contributions to the Foundation on turf preparation at Great Meadow. This does not. he said. include the contributions of time and equipment by many in the c om m u n i t y . including Senator John Warner of Upperville. George L.. Ohrstrom of The Plains. General and Mrs. George L. Seignious, The Plains, and The Airlie Conference Center. Fie added that the Foundation is still trying to identify the person who "generously and anonymously" left otl a big wagon load of hav for mulching the newly seeded turf course.

Life With A Brazilian Tribe By ROB BAYNI5 Rappahannock Nrw* Sprrtal t rttrr "As you can see. this boy has captured a hornet with his fingers by holding the stinger against his thumbnail. After the stinger is removed and the insect's tiny legs bound and harnessed by thread, it will be allowed to fly freely at the end of this leash—and the bov will have a.toy plane." With anecdotes such as this Nat Heiner enthralled the students and teachers of Wakefield School Monday during a special slide presentation on an obscure Brazilian Indian tribe who call themselves "the Wowsha." Recently returned to the United States, Heiner spent a year among the Wowsha with his anthropologist wife. Emilienne Ireland, who was studying the life and customs of this primitive tribe as part of her field work for a Ph.D. in anthropology. “My wife is a crucial part of this project, since it was she who did all the legwork to get the university and governmental support for it” remarked Heiner during an interview last Friday. "Moreover it is she, not I. who is the anthropologist of the family. I am a philosopher by profession, and have been exploring what is known as ‘the philosophy of the social sciences' during my stay with the Wowsha." A former teacher at Columbia University and at universities in Belgium and Brazil. Heiner expects to receive his Ph.D. this coming June from Columbia where he also completed his undergraduate education and was an original member of the '50s rock n' roll revival group, “Sha na na.” Despite his protests that he is not a professional in the field, his enthusiasm for anthropology and for his year’s experience with the Wowsha was clearly evident during his presentation Monday. "Since the '40s people have come in to study the Brazilian tribes in the Xingu National Park, a reservation with about 3,000 Indians.

Ms. Patricia Saltonstall of The one tribe that is the most difficult to get to is the Wowsha tribe. With only two exceptions, a missionary and an Oxford student, no one has ever lived with them or learned their langugae. So to this day the Wowsha have been considered among anthropologists the great mystery of the Xingu. They are also the tribe all the other tribes regard as the most traditional and with good reason. They are so remote they get influenced very little by the Brazilian ways. Other tribes have lost a lot of their ceremonies and they all speak Portugese—not the Wowsha.” In the darkened Wakefield autitorium Monday, slide after slide verified the uniqueness of Wowsha ways. Students and teachers were riveted by pictures showing natives wrestling, one of the tribe’s chief forms of recreation, and women performing necessary household chores such as gracefully carrying 60 pound water containers on their heads in temperatures that sometimes reach as high as 116 degrees or painstakingly preparing one of the staples of Wowsha diet, bread made from flour ground from the root of' the manioc plant. (Other features of the diet are fish, grasshoppers and flying ants, when in season, reported “delicious" by Heiner.) Preparations for tribal ceremonies appeared in other slides. These preparations included natives painting their bodies with special dyes made from vegetable seeds and mixed with an oil base. Colorfully painted natives wearing nothing but elaborately patterened dyes were pointed out by Heiner as prime examples of Wowsha in “coat and tie” dress. Students applauded enthusiastically when showed a slide of Wowsha women chasing the men during a tribal ceremony and again when the tribe's soccer team made their appearance. Members of the team sported European soccer uniforms —painted on their bodies in a rainbow of colors as Heiner commented on the benefits that have resulted from the spread of the sport among the Indians. ("Tribes that used to fight each other now play soccer instead.") The slides and research accumulated by Heiner and his* wife were not easily come by. “It took us a year and a half o negotiating with the bureaucracy before we were allowed access to the tribe and once we got there it took nine months, working 12 and 13 hour days on nothing but the language, before we could converse freely with the natives.” During their first months with the Wowsha language was not the onlv Droblem the Heiners faced. At one point the chief decided he didn’t like them and tried to throw them out. “ My wife had been adopted as the chiefs daughter. That made me his son-in-law and under their system of kinship most of the young men in the village were my brothers-in-law, all the elders were my fat hers-in-law and all the elder women were my mothers-in-law. One Of the strictly observed customs in the tribe is that you have a very formal relationship with all your in-laws, so formal that to call any of them by their first name is a terrible offense. I had a wicked time because 1 could not utter the names of 50 percent of the people in the village. So I made slip-ups. And there Block Grant Chances Still Good (Continued from Page 1) the breakdown on points awarded to the Sperryville project. The first four categories are based on data for the county as a whole since Sperryville is an unincorporated village.) he added. According to Capelle, officials with all the involved agencies are encouraging Rappahannock to seek block grant funds in the next cycle under the imminent health threat category. “That would give us an extra 150 points,” he population change unemployment taxing effort vs. taxing ability per capita income relative need total meeting state priorities meeting regional priorities impact on local objectives reasonable project cost leveraging benefit to low and moderate income people impact on community facilities total Maximum 80 80 80 100 340 80 . 80 50 50 100 150 150 1000 l*t*inl* Uanicd 20 50 10 40 120 60 60 50 50 76 112 100 628 Capelle said that the Sperryville project can expect to increase its points in the regional priorities category. In the five-count planning district, top priority was given to mandated water and sewer systems. "They were unsatisfied with our letter of mandate. There was no court order language... We can correct that problem next time," Capelle affirmed. But he questioned whether the standing on relative need could be improved substantially. “We may be able to add 10-20 points ...Unemployment is a little higher than it was a year ago.” Capelle noted, however, that the 22 communities which received block grants in the first funding cycle scored high on need. “They will not be allowed to reapply so the relative need average will drop because the poverty stricken areas will be out of the running.” In evaluating funding applications in the second cycle. Housing and Community Development officials “will be comparing middle-of-theroad communities like Rappahannock with other not-so-poor communities.” he noted. 150 More And in that second cycle, the Sperryville project should be able to garner an additional 150 points awarded for an “imminent health threat,” the planning district director said. The extra points would raise the county’s score higher than the points accumulated by the lowest community on the list of those awarded grants in the first cycle. In the first cycle, Capelle said, he had not written Sperryville’s application as an imminent health threat although that possibility had been discussed at length. The omission was due to a bureaucratic misunderstanding of terminology, he explained. “Neither the local nor the district Health Department people were familiar with the term ‘imminent threat.’ It's not in their vocabulary at all,” Capelle reported. “The Health Department uses ‘hazard to health’ phraseology and the block grant program doesn’t.” But both phrases describe essentially the same situation. said, adding that indications are a letter can be secured from the state health commissioner, attesting to the health threat in Sperryville. "That will make up for the low relative need.” On the basis of last week’s discussions meetings at the Richmond meetings, Capelle predicted that the block grant evaluation system's “imminent threat" phraseology will be dropped in favor of the Health Department's “health hazard” terminology. Semantics Lost Grant* “We have a health hazard in Sperryville,” noted Water and Sewer Authority secretary ' Bob Dennis in a telephone interview this week. “Sperryville’s health hazard is one of the most well recognized, well documented in the state of Virginia.” Failure of the county's block grant application to win funding in the first cycle was the result of a "semantics problem,” Dennis maintained. He likewise said that a letter from the state health commissioner attesting to conditions in the village—either as an “imminent health threat" or a "health hazard"—can be expected to support a second funding application. SWCB Grant Deferred After Rappahannock's representatives met in early afternoon last Tuesday with Housing and Community Development officials, they attended the State Water Control Board session. The SWCB’s allocation of a $1.4 million construction grant for Sperryville’s sewer system was contingent upon award of the $478,193 block grant necessary to bring monthly user fees down to a range village residents could afford. When the county failed to get the block grant money to make up the local share of the costs, the SWCB announced it would by-pass Sperryville and re-allocate the $1.4 million from its fiscal year 1983 budget to other projects that were ready to start. At Tuesday’s SWCB meeting, Dennis was successful in having the wording in the action changed from "by-pass” to "deferred.” If the county is awarded a block grant on the second funding cycle this summer, the Water Control Board will reconsider the Sperryville project for fiscal year 1983, using money from its $3.8 million con County Receives Grant Rappahannock County is one of forty-four Virginia school divisions to be awarded federal funds totaling $350,000. Rappahannock’s share —$8,000—is earmarked for the Gifted and Talented program. Assistant Superintendent Gerald Lysik said that the money is for a high school summer program for gifted or talented Rappahannock students. Culpeper, Madison, and Orange Counties also received grants of $8,000 for their programs. Winchester Homes On Tour The traditional holiday house walking tour will be held in Winchester Dec.

Two Big Ifs Asked this week for the SWCB’s position. Director Ernie Simmons verified that the Sperryville project could be reconsidered for funding but with two big ifs—if the county can get a block grant in the second cycle and “if the $1.4 million is still there (in the contingency fund)." The SWCB has a contingency fund to cover cost over-runs in approved construction projects. “We have $85 million in projects out right now. A couple of real bad over-runs could really hurt us," Simmons said, noting that contractors can’t be assured that prices on both water and sewage treatment apparatus will hold from bid time to construction. He said the SWCB was “very, very sympathetic” with Sperryville’s plight but that the board faced a dilemma. The project has been waiting "quite some time" for the local share of costs on the sewage system to be lined up, Simmons said. That local share was to come from the block grant program and when that fell through, the SWCB had no option but to allocate the SI.4 million elsewhere. The procedures for reconsidering Sperryville's construction grant will be the same whether the WSCB's action is described as a “bypass” or a “deferral,” Simmons maintained. If a block grant is awarded this summer, the question of the $1.4 million construction grant will be brought back before the SWCB and “we'll dig down to try to find sufficient funds,” the director promised.

So after working three years to get into the tribe, we found ourselves, after two and a half months, about to be thrown out. We had to learn very quickly how to survive politically." The Heiners also had to struggle with another Wowsha taboo—the maintenance at all times of complete self-control. “The worst thing you can do is to get angry or cry. The Wowsha make fun mercilessly of anyone who loses control; he becomes an object of ridicule. Children learn very quickly that there are rules for expressing anger. You can never double up a .fist or hit someone in the face. You always hit someone with the flat of your hand squarely between the shoulder blades. You can hit them as hard as you want — I've seen people knocked ten, fifteen yards." Before closing his presentation Heiner suggested that “In many ways the Wowsha live in a society more peaceful than our own. Moreover, despite their going completely naked, they are more modest than we in important ways. Perhaps the most common and most valuable lesson of anthropology is that the more different human beings appear to be, the more they are alike. What is truly exotic is how much we have in common."

Kidwell Indicted (Continued from Page 1) the indictment returned by the grand jury specifies only murder, not the degree of murder. “I plan to prosecute for second degree,” he affirmed, explaining that First degree is defined as "premeditated” killing while second degree is “malicious” killing. The commonwealth's attorney added, however, that he wasn't ruling out a charge of- first degree should the evidence warrant. A capias was served on Kidwell immediately after the indictment was returned and, accompanied by her attorneys, she went from the courtroom to the sheriffs office to post bond. The defendant is being represented by John Dowd of Washington, D. G, former head of the Justice Department’s organized crime section. He led the investigation of Dr. Murdock Head, founder of Airlie Foundation and conference center in Warrenton. Diane Kidwell, who was employed at Airlie from September. 1%7, to November 15, 1975, was one of the witnesses against Dr. Head on charges of bribery conspiracy. Dowd’s co-counsel is Rodney G.

The applicant explained that he has to add on to the rear of the existing structure in order to hook into the cold storage equipment and take advantage of cooler underground temperatures by building into the hillside. BZA member James Swindler, whose district includes Sperryville, reported that Leake was unwilling to sell Atkins additional land that would enable the cider mill operator to meet setback regulations. In approving the variance, the BZA found that by reason of topographical conditions, strict application of the zoning ordinance’s setback requirements would unnecessarily restrict Atkins’ use of his property. Culpeper A llots $2,000 ToAVFD One-third of the financial support for Culpeper's fire and rescue units comes from the county's general fund. The Culpeper supervisors extended that helping hand across the county line last week, voting to give the Amissville Fire Department $2,000. The contribution came in response to Amissville's estimates that costs of answering Culpeper calls last year amounted to $4,900. Responding to those fires comprised 60 percent of Amissville’s load, according to Culpeper board chairman Eric Thoreson. Culpeper residents frequently call Amissville’s fire fighters because they are just a mile from the county line while it takes Culpeper volunteers 12 to 15 minutes to travel the same distance, according to a spokesman for Culpeper's Fire and Rescue Association. Supervisor James Shive, who objected to funding the Amissville company when it hasn’t sought financial assistance from the Rappahannock board, voted against the $2,000 contribution but then handed fire chief Paul Poling a personal check for his department.

At present, the sheriff s department is dispatched by Culpeper as are emergency service units in Amissville. Washington, Flint Hill and Castleton. Chester Gap is dispatched from Front Royal and Sperryville’s rescue and fire companies have their own telephone dispatch system, occasionally calling on Culpeper for assistance since Rappahannock’s communications center is regarded primarily as a law enforcement dispatch system, funding for dispatchers’ salaries will come from the State Compensation Board. Last year, the supervisors contributed the 20 percent local share to match an $11,600 grant from the Rescue Squad Assistant Fund for the communications equipment. This year, the board has allotted $2,500 in the county budget for the dispatch center. In 1982-83 expenditures, $2,104 is also allocated for the Rappahannock - Rapidan Emergency Services Council and $2,500 for the annual county fire school held in early fall at Amissville. The total contribution in the current budget for emergency services, $7,104, represents a $4,164 increase over 1981-82. REALTY WORLD • $*/••* dl.

"But I don't know yet if the money will be granted." she added. In addition to emergency assistance applications, the welfare office will continue to process requests for the fuel repair program which is still in force. Households that meet income eligibility guidelines can qualify for up to $200 for replacement or repairs to heating systems. The one-time payment is made to (he vendor. Kreitler noted, and is intended to supplement — not cover entirely — costs of repairing or putting in a new fuel system. While Virginia received the same amount of money this year as last from the federal government for the fuel assistance program, according to Commissioner Lukhard. Rappahannock did not get the same amount from Virginia, Kreitler reported that the county will get approximately S36.000 this winter for fuel assistance. “We received 12 percent more last year,” she noted. But despite the drop in funding and Friday’s cut-off on submission of applications, the welfare department's director is optimistic about meeting the fuel needs of local residents this winter. “We'll do the best with what we have," Kreitler said, suggesting that anyone with questions on fuel assistance call her at the welfare office in Washington, 675-3613.

"It’s probably more common than anyone realizes. An owner may find his pet in a coma or dead and not know what has happened.” said Dr. Moreman. Moreman recommends that old anti-freeze be flushed down the sewer drain since it is biodegradable. Any that has spilled onto the driveway or street should be washed for 10 minutes toward the street drain. No puddles should be left for pets to get into. And no residue should be left behind because the dried crystals contain the poison. The drain pan should also be washed thoroughly.

With this plan, you avoid paying larger bills during peak heating or cooling periods. Instead, you pay your total annual cost of electricity in averaged monthly installments. This plan costs you nothing extra. You pay only for the electricity you use. HOW DOES THE AVERAGE PAYMENT PLAN WORK? The dollar amount of your monthly payment will be based on the average of your actual usage over the previous 12 months. The 12-months average figure is updated each time your meter is read (normally every two months). By always using the latest 12-months usage, the plan adjusts to changes both in your use of electricity and current rates. Because of this selfadjusting feature, your bill may fluctuate slightly from month-to-month. Of course, if you’re a new customer or move to a new location, you’ll have no history of electrical usage in your new residence. In such cases, we will estimate your previous 12-months usage. However, every time we read your meter, your actual use will replace the estimated figure for the similar period until we have a full 12-month history. Every 12 months we will review your account. If your account balance shows a slight over-payment or under-payment, that amount will be equally divided over your next 12 monthly bills. Should a customer fail to make the average monthly payments on time, Potomac Edison reserves the right to withdraw such customer from the plan and return that account to standard billing. WHAT YOUR ELECTRIC BILLS WILL SHOW Your meter is normally read every other month. For those months, you will receive a bill showing the kilowatt-hours you’ve used between meter readings. It will also show your account balance and your average payment amount which is the amount you pay. On alternate months when we don’t read your meter, the bill will only show your average payment amount, which again, is the amount you pay. HOW TO ENROLL IN THE PLAN If you are a Potomac Edison residential customer, you may participate in the Average Payment Plan by calling the PE office serving your location. Converting to the plan could take up to two billing periods, depending on the date requested and the date we bill your account. For this reason, we urge you to enroll as quickly as possible if you’re interested.

Inc Member Audit Bureau of Circulation V Thursday, December 16,1982 What The Election Was Really About By KI'GKMK MrCARTin Hap|tahAnn<»rk Vh* (>ur<l I nlumni<l Political analysts and experts continue in their efforts to explain and .1. terpret the results of the November 2nd election. Most, it seems, are coming to the conclusion that it was not significant; that we are, politically, just about where we went out. about six months ago, when the campaign began in earnest. Those who have been looking for the political significance of what has happened have missed the central point. The election was not a contest between Republicans and Democrats, except incidentally, nor a test of the popularity or unpopularity of Reagan, or of Reaganomics. The campaign was’ but preparation, a setting of the stage, for the election night showdown among the three major television networks. That competition, as is now indicated in statements by network spokespersons, was conducted in three areas of trial. One was quantitative. to be measured in Nielsen ratings; the second, professional, to be measured in such achievements as earliest predictions of the outcome of the election, either in individual contests, or in over-all gains and losses by the two parties. Or statistically, by best scores of right over wrong predictions, with some refinements and allowances of greater margins of error for early mistakes than were tolerated for late errors, or persistence in error. The third range of judgments were more subjective. and included distinctions of style, of speaking, language, general attitude of commentators, psychological impact, and supporting factors such as graphics, studio setting, and non-human, mechanically produced sonics. The Nielsen ratings were inconclusive, each network seeming to have attracted, or caught, roughly the same number of viewers, nationwide, with variations, possibly significant ones, among the major cities of the country. NBC is reported to have won in New York; CBS in Chicago; and ABC, at least for a time, was the leader in Los Angeles. This distribution seems to indicate a national pattern of the attraction of the various networks as we move westward. But the emerging pattern which might have been developed into a theory was broken by the fact that ABC won in Philadelphia and in Detroit. There has. as yet, been no breakdown of network appeal as one moves south to north in the country, passing through those divisions of the country now noted by political observers, as the sun-belt, the sleet belt, (not as clearly identified as the other two of the trio, but covering southern Indiana, and southern Ohio, parts of Pennsylvania, northern Tennessee, and Kentucky, and Missouri), and the northern snow-belt. It was in the second category of standards that the competition was most intense. ABC claims that it called the gubernatorial and Senate races before its two rivals did. How much earlier, ABC does not say, nor does it report how many wrong calls it made. NBC did not dispute the ABC tabulation of “first calls", but declared that once “called”, not one “call” had to be corrected. Their big winner, NBC noted, was their "calling” the victory of Governor Thompson in Illinois. Evidently, NBC txiok into account one fact of political reality, namely, that Richard Dailey is no longer among the living Democratic politicians of Illinois, and (hat late counts, and lost and found ballot boxes of former days, were not likely to be facotrs in this election. CBS and ABC may have been counting on the old order of Chicago elections, which sometimes reflected Mayor Dailey's belief that every person, citizen of Chicago, if not of Illinois, who was also a Democrat had a natural right ( within the range of the three score years and ten allotted by Scripture) to vote in at least 12 Presidential elections and 24 or 25 gubernatorial elections, and that the number of votes remaining unused, when some Democrat's life was prematurely shortened, could be voted post mortem by the par'v. In the third, and more subjective area of competition, no clear superiority of one network over the others was demonstrated. Over-all, the general judgment was that, in the metophor of football. CBS had had the best offense, NBC the best defense, and that ABC had had the best first half. CIS claims that it was the psychological winner. The psychological advantage attributed to CBS must have come from the introduction into the coverage of the language of Texas, its images and metaphors, by Dan Rather and Wm, Moyers, both of whom are front Texas. Among the Rather contributions were these lines. Of one candidate: “He's gotta feel, he's been rode hard and put away wet." Of one close race, Dan noted it was "hat-band tight", and another “tight as a cinch strap". Another was "hot as a hickory fire”, and still another "bonfire hot". This usage involved a little slippage, as bonfires are noted usually as being “bright" rather than "hot". Moyers could not quite stay with Rather, but did get down home, to describe one contest as like "a back yard hen fight"; and then revealing his wider range of metaphors, said that the election had “as many threads as a Persian rug”. The dodo, if asked to commend on this TV competition, might well say. in almost deathless words: “Everybody has run, and everybody has won, but nobody deserves the prize."

Byrd, Jr. steps down from his U.S. Senate seat in January. While this may be true in the historical sense that, for the first time in half a centurv, no Byrd will represent the Old Dominion in the halls of Congress, the observation should be limited to that rather narrow definition of the event. But if there are those who except the Byrd Era to end in the broader sense—in the sense that Young Harry's role as a presiding political powerhouse in the state is about to terminate they would be well advised to forget it. Indeed. Mr. Bvrd as an elder statesman may be fully as influential in the political affairs of the Commonwealth as was Mr. Bvrd, the U.S. Senator. Indeed, with time on his hands to involve himself more fully in state affairs, his velvet clout might be even greater. This is true because Sen. Byrd's influence is not derived from the usual sources of political power. It docs not spring from the genteel, and sometimes gent eely ruthless, application of machine politics. Unlike his father. Sen. Harry F. Byrd, Sr., the younger Bvrd was never in the position of holding the jobs and careers of numberless Virginia public officials hostage to his political objectives. As a Senator he had veto power over federal appointments, but that was about all. The younger Byrd’s political influence seems to have been derived from an entirely different set of political and social dynamics, but it is only one. The rest are a complex of factors which are unique, and uniquely Virginian. They are probably also uniquely Byrdian, if there is such a term. The first of these is that the Senator is. after all. a Bvrd. a scion of one of the oldest and most respected political families in the Commonwealth. The second is that his personal demeanor is a prototype of how a courtly southern statesman should look and act. Third, and most important, he is—and is perceived as being—totally and uncompromisingly honest. Even when he was battling schix>l integration, most of his critics regarded him as an honorable opponent. He believed, without a shred of rancor against blacks, that in School Closings A decision to close school will he announced through the stations listed below.

And finally, he is perhaps the most astute judge of public sentiment in the stale today. He has that gift, rare in a politician, of knowing when to speak out and when to keep quiet in order to give his views their maximum force. As a result, the famed Byrd golden silence can have as devastating an impact as his spoken word. All of these factors are related only incidentally to his being a member of the U.S. Senate. Hence, when he ceases to be a member a few weeks from now. he w ill take them with him when he returns to private life. If there was ever doubt he intends to continue to apply these formidable assets in Virginia politics. Sen. Bvrd dispelled any such notion in a speech last week in Richmond. Addressing some 800 like-minded guests at a farewell dinner in his honor. Sen. Byrd said. "Come next month, 1 will no longer be in the Senate. But I shall have a greater freedom of action than I have had in the past, and I shall continue to work alongside you in behalt ol the principles and philosophy of government in which you and 1 believe." Now there's a sentence to titillate the imagination of the politicians and political observers in the state! It was a new Word from Byrd, and the word was clear. Sen. Harry F. Byrd Jr., unlike the old soldier of the ballad, is not about to "just fade away." At the very least he was signalling he will be very much a part of the state’s political action, that aspiring politicians would be wise to have a care for a Byrd endorsement, nonendorsement or, indeed, for his fabled golden silence. Was there more? Was there a veiled hint perhaps - just perhaps - of a Byrd eandidaev for governor in 1985? Whatever it all means, it is apparent that while the Byrd era in the U.S. Senate may be over, in Virginia it marches on and with a right spirited step, at that.

Changing Community Attitudes And The Law Part III-Drunk Drivers By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock Mew* Staff Writer The statistics are everywhere—drunk drivers c^use over half the fatal accidents on our highways. Until recently, communites have seemed to accept this fact as part of the cost of living in an imperfect world where people are weak and other people suffer. Drunk drivers responsible for accidents were considered “to have suffered enough,” without much further punishment from the courts. Over the past few years, a movement that has grown to a sizeable national force has had some impact on the laws of Virginia and other states. Communities everywhere are expressing outrage at the drinking drivers who kill their members. The last Session of the General Assembly saw a change in the state law making driving under the influence a Class I misdemeanor. Defendants who previously were assigned to VASAP in lieu of a conviction are now convicted and then assigned to the program. In Culpeper last spring, a drunk -driver crossed the center line in his pick-up truck loaded with logs, smashing into the car of Elizabeth Corbin, a young Culpeper woman. The crash killed Corbin and resulted in the permanent severe injury of a twelve-year-old passenger. “We’d been studying patterns of drunk driving for a while," Sergeant Michael Showalter of the Culpeper police said. “For me, this was just the last straw.” Showalter, who answered the Corbin accident call, had adopted highway safety as a pet project. With the support of the community he began to set up a roadblock program for the town of Culpeper. Decisions by the state and federal supreme courts gave Scuffle Results In Peace Bond For Two Men A scuffle at Lombardy’s in Amissvillc between Roy Stringfellow and William Roger Pickett prompted General District Judge John Alexander to issue a peace bond to both men last week. Charges were brought by each party in the case and each pleaded not guilty, contending that the other had struck the first blow. In fact, each side introduced witnesses who supported the contradictory facts presented by the two complainants. Pickett produced eyewitnesses, including his wife, who saw the fight and said that the 24year-old Pickett never got in a single blow against the 56year-old Stringfellow. Stringfellow's witnesses, including family members, said tl^ it was Pickett who struck Stringfellow first. “Here we have eve witnesses who can’t agree,” said Judge Alexander. “They all say that they sawsomething different. How can the court make a decision on this?" Alexander put Pickett and Stringfellow under a peace bond for one year. The charge of slander or libel brought by Pickett against Stringfellow. and said to be the cause of the fight, was dropped. Other actions taken by the District Court on December 7 were: Roger Orville Blevins, Hunting on posted property. $50 fine-$20 costs. Joseph Lewis Baker, Hunting within 100 yards of road. $50 fine-$20 costs. Clyde Lee Sutphin. Hunting within 100 yards of road. $50 fine, $20 costs.

ABC Revenue Decreased Rappahannock has received $4,893 as its share of a total $4,475,401 in first quarter profits generated by the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control for the 1982-83 fiscal year. Currently, ABC profits are distributed on a per capita basis at the rate of 83.7 cents. The figure divided between Virginia's counties, cities, and towns represents twothirds of the department’s profits for July through September following statutory adjustments and a one-third distribution to the state's general fund. The town of Washington has received $206 as its share of first quarter ABC profits. The amount of funds available for distribution to localities is down by more than $1 million over the same quarter of a year ago. primarily because $1,391,650 was transferred by action of the legislature to the Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation for alcohol-related treatment and rehabilitation programs. Counties and cities will also share on a per capita basis $722,354 that was generated from the sale of wine. Rappahannock gets $823 from this source for the first quarter of the fiscal year.

From there, he was able to determine targets for his new program. “I don't know why some places are more liable to be traveled by drunk drivers,” Showalter said. “There doesn’t seem to be a real reason, but there are definitely trouble spots." Next, the sergeant spoke to local judges. “They en couraged us," he said. "I think everyone felt it was time to do something.” Showalter had determined that 21.2 percent of Culpeper traffic arrests were for drinking-related incidents, in the period between January and May, 1982. Now, he says, the number is 10 percent. “This is not only because we’re getting drunk drivers off the road,” he said. "People are frightened, they may think twice before getting in a car when they’ve had too much to drink. This is what we want—not just to catch them but to prevent drunk driving." Showalter said that both field and office-administered tests have found a lot of drivers with blood alcohol levels only slightly below the .10 percent needed for a drunk driving arrest. "I’m sure these people will think about it," he said. “Maybe next time they’ll be more careful." Showalter said that, for an average size man, 3-4 drinks or 4 beers over a few hours will bring the blood Payment-In-Kind Proposed Bv Administration In an announcement planned for radio release, 7th District Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson called for further exploration of the payment-in-kind concept proposed by the administration and personally supported by President Reagan in an appearance before Washington reporters last Thursday. “It’s hard to see how there can be substantial improvement in grain prices for farmers until we manage to reduce the huge surplus now overflowing grain storage facilities," Robinson said. He added, that as far as he was aware, any action required to initiate such a program would come from the agriculture authorizing a committee and not from the appropriations panel, of which Robinson is a member. The payment-in-kind (PIK) proposal was introduced last week by Agriculture Secretary John R. Block. The plan is aimed at reducing the huge federal stockpiles of surplus grain while reimbursing farmers who agree to keep their fields idle. Farmers could then draw from the surplus to sell or to feed their own stock. Block estimates that his plan could save as much as S5 billion between 1983 and 1985. Block maintains that the administration already has sufficient legal authority to carry out the PIK program, but that he wants congressional input and planning to assist in its beginning. One important authority Block does need before the program starts is the power to freeze direct subsidy payments at 1983 levels. These subsidies, called "deficiency payments" cost taxpayers over SI billion in 1982 and are automatically increased each year. The PIK proposal has attracted a great deal of attention nationally both because it indicates that the administration may be coming to agree with many grain belt spokesmen that the farm situation is desperate; and because it appears to be a radical departure from previous Reagan farm policy. Farm income is now at its lowest level since 1933, and both Republican and many Democratic members of the Agriculture subcommittee appear to be willing to give the president's proposal at least a beginning efforts. Other Democrats were skeptical. After opponents pressed Block for details which he was unable to supply. Howell Heflin (DAla.) was quoted in last Friday’s Washington Post as saying that he didn't want a PIP (Pig in a Poke) program. Block agreed that the program is still just a vague concept, but added that he would need congressional approval for at least two of its components before going any further: the freeze for the deficiency payments and approval to send surplus grain to needy countries, further reducing huge Federal storehouses.

"But there are people who don’t realize how much their driving is affected at this point. We certainly hope to remind them." Right now. Showalter and the 18-man Culpeper town police do not have the ability to set up roadblocks often. They’ve applied for a grant from the State Department of Highway Safety and, if they receive it, they’ll be able to double their efforts. Showalter said that the road block method not only discourages would-be drunk drivers, but also makes it much more efficient for the officials administering the program. “When a police officer stops someone on his own, there’s a lengthy process of hospital or field testing, getting a magistrate and so on. On nights that we have roadblocks, the magistrate stays on duty and we have a breathalizer right at the station. It’s also easier for the troopers who help us and are still on call for other duty.” The roadblocks are never announced and their location is moved, even in the space of one night. Since the program's beginning Iasi spring, there have been fortvone drunk driving arrests and convictions. Other violations are also picked up by the roadblocks, of course • suspended and expired licenses, defective equipment and such. But Showalter’s main concern is the identification of those who choose to drive drunk in Culpeper. “We were just about the first jurisdiction to do this.'' he said. “But other communities are doing it. and more will follow.

PE Rates Drop Customers of The Potomac Edison Company in Virginia will see a substanatial reduction in their electric bills in coming months. The State Corporation Commission has approved PE’s request for a lower fuel factor, beginning with billing after December 8. For a residential customer using 1000 kilowatthours, the monthly bill will drop from $63.91 to $59.99—a decrease of $3.92 per month, over 6 percent. This lower rate will remain in effect at least through March of next year when PE’s fuel costs will again be reviewed by the SCC. Potomac Edison attributed the decrease to a leveling off of fuel prices. Deadline For Nurses Announced Germanna Community College is now accepting applications to the 1983 Nursing Program.

Retreat Center Granted Permit (Continued from Page 1) intention of asking for it (improvements).” he assured the BZA. As to sewage disposal facilities, the structures on the 207 acre tract will be served by eight separate septic tanks and drain fields with combined capacity of 11.000 gallons per day. according to Biddle. Four of tjie tanks and fields have already been approved, he ' told the BZA. Rappahannock sanatarian Jack Lockhart "said there’s no great problem with the other four.” Biddle added. Displaying a map and color photographs of the buildings, recreation field, swimming pool, tennis courts and three ponds on the 207 acre tract, Bayne noted that the only structure within sight distance of the retreat center’s facilities is a barn a half mile away. "It’s isolated and quiet,” he said of the setting of the center. Using two former residences, Bethany House will offer "engaged encounter" programs on 30 weekends during the year for young couples contemplating marriage. Another large house will be remodeled into dormitory-type space for JO35 young people and a staff of 10-15 adults who will supervise the 15-20 sessions planned per year. “We may also use the building for single-sex adult groups," Bayne added. Four smaller units will be used for family retreats, he continued. “We probably will have no more than two types of activities on any weekend over the first few years," he said, noting that the maximum of 120 visitors to the center specified in the special use permit application was a “worst case” scenario. “Maybe in the spring or fall we'd have a couple of weekends with three treats (for families, engaged couples and young people) going on simultaneously...But it would be the exception rather than the rule.” Current plans call for four family rretreats in the fall and four in the summer, an eight week extended retreatvacation program in July and August and twice monthly retreats for teenagers during the school year, Bayne said.

Mary Virginia, the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. George Coppage, was raised in Gid Brown Hollow and attended the old Oakley School and the Oakley Church. She now lives in Harris Hollow. will begin upgrading the kitchen in January so Wakefield can finish out the school year there without violations,” Bayne added. “It will be this summer at the earliest before we can begin operating as a retreat center." In response to questions, Biddle said that the access road, route 622, is a 50-foot right-of-way. “But the road itself is not 50 feet,” he noted. (The road surface measures 12 feet.) The only septic field that needs expansion to meet Health Department regulations is the sewage dispoal system for the house intended as the dormitory for teenagers, according to Biddle “We will install what's needed to get the job done, to meet the code," he assured the BZA members. Sharon Luke asked if the center will be open to local people and to non-Catholics. "We really haven't taken a look at the yet...but I feel and obligation and a desire to serve the local community here. I don’t think the Bishop will have any problem with that as long as we can work out the scheduling," Bayne replied. James Swindler asked if ownership bv the church will take the property off the county's tax rolls. “Yes, it will," Biddle answered. Swindler also inquired if the new owners planned to upgrade the existing internal roads to ensure adequate fire and rescue access. "The roads are in pretty good shape now...but we do plan to grade and gravel." responded Bayne. Noting that the retreat center w ill place an increased demand on Rappahannock’s fire and rescue volunteers, Peter Kramer asked if Bethany House would consider making a donation to support those emergency services. "Oh yes! Absolutely,” Bayne assured the BZA. With no one to speak either for or against the retreat center’s application for a special use permit (as a church in an agricultural zone), the board members voted unanimous approval, contingent upon compliance with Health Department requirements and submission of a development plan to the Rappahannock Planning Commission. Church School In a second application under the new zoning amendment that allows churches by special permit in an agricultural zone, Massanova Pentacostal Church on Route 622 near Castleton proposed extending church activities to an adjacent metal building formerly used for heavy equipment repair. Rev. L D. Savage said that the church had purchased the building and .764 acres from Earl Jenkins. The structure will be used for Sunday school classes, a gymnasium for Massanova's Christian school, a fellowship hall and various activities for young people, he said. Plans call for insulation to be put this spring in the ceiling and walls of the building which now has just treated lumber with metal sheeting on the sides and roof. Savage added. "You’re not going to use it until you finish renovations?” asked BZA chairman Lee Bird. “No, we use it now,” Savage acknowledged. Bird recalled that the BZA had earlier issued a special use permit to operate a Christian school in the Massanova Church, contingent upon installation of a septic system to meet Health Department standards. The church bought additional acreage from adjoining land owner James Massie and installed a new drain field last spring. Savage replied. He noted that the new building lacks toilet facilities at present. “We’d like to have (plumbing) by next spring," he said, adding that it will be tied into the church's sewage disposal system. He assured the BZA that the necessary Health Department approvals would be secured.

Lynes Host Island Trip When someone mentions Hawaii, he usually means the Hawaiian Islands, not the "Big Island” of Hawaii. Even though it’s the namesake of the chain, relatively little is known about the Big Island. The island of Hawaii has no Waikiki Beach, no Pearl Harbor, no famous city like Honolulu. What it does have is an abundance of natural wonders as impressive as any of the better-known Hawaiian tourist attractions. Visitors will marvel at the variation in the landscape on Hawaii. Lush highlands, vast sugar cane fields and desolate stretches of jet-black lava can all be found on the island. Hilo, the capital of the island, is also the capital of Hawaii's booming orchid and anthurium (a large, red, waxey-looking flower) industries. In Hilo one can visit Nani Mau Gardens—20 brilliant, blooming acres of the flora for which the islands are famous. Somewhat off the beaten path—a path that is, incidentally, fragrant with the smell of orchids and ginger—is awesome Akaka ..T,,T _ — Rappahannock Nrwn Pholo/D.

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 Carden Isle of Kauai may be Hawaii's best kept secret.

We'll stay for two days on the island that provided the setting for such films as “South Pacific," “King Kong” and "Islands In the Stream.” Activities on Kauai include a cruise down the Wailua River to romantic Fem Grotto and a spectacular torch-lighting ceremony in a palm grove. Nothing can compare with the magic and serenity of a sun-kissed beach. You 're never far from sand and surf in Hawaii. We jet to the Big Island of Hawaii for three more dreamy days. We’ll see snow-capped Mauna Loa; a black-sand beach and steaming Kilauea Crater, where the astronauts trained for moon walks, as well as visit a ranch where cattle are herded by helicopter. You’ll feast your eyes on over 2,000 varieties of orchids in fabulous Nani Mau Gardens. 10 days in Paradise come to a reluctant end back in Honolulu, where we catch our overnight flight for the mainland with our newly acquired friends, suntans and fond memories to last a lifetime. The cost of this unforgettable tour is just $1,481 from Washington—perhaps less than you'd think possible, considering it includes deluxe-class resort hotels; a full-time tour escort; air fores between islands; transportation by deluxe, air-conditioned motorcoach; sightseeing; farm and ranch visits and much, much more.

Parents needing assistance in completing the form may contact one of the counselors at the high school. Exchange Student Finds Life Here “Not Too Different” This week’s frosty weather may be hard for Rappahannock natives to get used to after weeks of a mild early winter, but Philippine exchange student Ricky Abad said he was finding it hard to adjust to temperatures of even 40 to 60. “It never gets nearly this cold in Manila,” Ricky said. He said that temperatures in the Philippine capitol reach 70 at the lowest and are often above 100 degrees. But Ricky said that he had wanted to see snow. The Rappahannock High School junior was originally sent to Atlanta and asked for a school farther north. Sunday’s snow in Rappahannock was not Ricky's first, however; he saw plenty of snow while vacationing in New York over Thanksgiving. Ricky is the guest of Pat and Richard Helmer of Castleton, and their daughters Kim, Wendy and Debbie. Climate is not the only difference Ricky has found here. “In Manila, most middle-class families have maids," he explained. Ricky said that most Philippine homes, even in modern Manila, don’t have the laborsaving devices found here. In spite of the differences, Ricky said that he's finding it easy to adapt to life here. "People here are so accomodating," he said. Ricky speaks fluent English, which he says is taught right along with Tagabog, the language of the Philippines, in Manilan schools. English is his favorite subject: other subjects are much the same as those taught at home. “Of course we don't learn U.S. history." he said. Ricky sometimes misses Philippine food, but he brought along a cookbook and Pat Helmer and he have fixed one of his native dishes, adobo - chicken or pork with rice. The Helmers hosted another Philippine student last year, so they were somewhat familiar with Ricky’s native food. "In Manila, also, we have Big Macs and Kentucky Fried Chicken,” Ricky said. In fact, in many ways. Manila, a huge urban center, is probably more modern than Rappahannock. "Here, people stay home more." Ricky said. "There aren't as many places to go." Students here are very much the same, according to Ricky. There’s little difference in dress, except for the winter clothing required here. The Philippines do have a national costume. Students Attend Symphony On Thursday, December 10th, Wakefield students attended a concert in Washington. D.C.. at the Kennedy Center. They heard “the National Symphony perform a delightful program called "A Musical Passport”. The program began in Russia with Tchaikovsky's “Trepak" from "The Nutcracker" Suite. It then went to France with Offenbach’s “Can Can" from the Overture to "Orpheus and the Underworld" with a colorful slide presentation of Parisian scenes. This was a contrast to Debussy’s "Jeux de vagues from “La Mer” and scenes of the coasts of France. The tour through Italy included Verdi’s "Prelude to Act I WAKEFIELD PRIMARY STL DENTS under the direction of Mrs. Gloria Harris reenacted the story of the first Christmas during their annual Christmas pageant at the school on Friday.

The symphony crossed the ocean and went to America’s west with Groge’s “On the Trail’’ from “The Grand Canyon” Suite. Scenes varied from the stubborn mule to majestic views of this palacious National Park. The finale( piece was by Washington. D. C.’s own most reknowned composer, John Philip Sousa • “The Stars and Stripes Forever” accompanied by slides of famous landmarks in the nation’s capital. the Barongtagolog or embroidered sheer shirt for men; and the barongsaya, a stiff-sleeved long dress for women. “These are worn just for special occasions, though.” Ricky said. “People wear them at graduation or weddings. Everyone usually has one native costume." In the Philappines. parents and grandparents are more openly venerated and there are more open displays of affection. Ricky said that there is a special kiss for parents - on the cheeks, and for elders - on the forehead. Ricky’s parents are Santiago and Esther Abad, and he has two sisters. Marie Chris and Marizia; and one brother, Louie. His father owns a piggery in the countryside outside of Manila, commuting each week by plane. At the last minute. Ricky said that his parents had second thoughts about his being so far away, but "by then it was too late," he smiled. For Christmas he has already received a large package from Manila but his family asked him to save his Christmas gifts to them until he returns home next summer. _ ^StSf HOOl *«Ss Menus Sursum Cor da December 20-22 Monday Spinach lasagne, carrots with butter, garlic toast, peaches, milk.

In the first quarter, Rapp couldn’t seem to get the ball to fall through the hoop and trailed, 9-6, going into the second quarter. But the second period was a different story for RCHS. As if a lid had been lifted off the rim, Doyle Dunn found his range and tied the game after a minute of play. Robert Myers’ two points gave the Panthers their first lead. 11-9. and the Bulldogs (who failed to score for five minutes) trailed the rest of the game.

"We concentrated a lot more on free throws,” the coach said of his team's 22 points from the charity stripe as the Panthers coasted to a 62-44 victory. Coach Dawson was more than pleased to see four players in double figures against Luray last Friday. “We need team play if we’re going to win this year,” he commented. Mike Leake and Robert Myers were high scorers in the away contest against the Bulldogs with 14 points apiece. Repeal Performance Taking a page from the Georgetown Hoya’s playbook, the Panthers baffled the Bulldogs with their fulll-court press in Monday’s return match at RCHS. Thanks to that pressure, Rapp connected on 18 transition baskets and thrilled their fans with a 6251 victory. Both teams were cold in the opening period and wound up with a 6-6 first quarter tie. Helped by loose balls and early fouls, the Bulldogs capitalized on Panther mistakes to gain a 15-8 lead after three minutes of the second quarter elapsed. Shots by point guard Myers and forward Tom Sisk in the final minutes of the half brought RCHS to within one. 23-22, when the teams went into the locker room. The Panthers came out with a much stronger press that succeeded in shaking up the Bulldogs but Luray managed to hold on to the lead in the third quarter and were in front, 36-34, at the state of the final period. Continuing to press, the Panthers stole the ball nine times n the fourth quarter and after Mike Leake hit a short jumper, Rappahannock grabbed the advantage and held on until the buzzer sounded. "We plan to use the press most of the year because we have enough depth to run eight or nine guys,” Dawson said. “Tonight was a superb show of team effort. Some players we started were a little weak but guys off the bench took up the slack. This was the kind of team effort that's going to win most of our ball games this year." Coach Dawson singled out Myers, Jeff Porter and Pops Aylor for compliments on a super job of passing on the fast break. Dawson noted that a lot of games will be won by points from the fast break. By way of example, Rapp scored 36 fast break points against Luray on Monday night. Leake was again high scorer with 21 points, topping Steve Ellis from Luray who connected for 20. And An Encore On Tuesday night at home, the Panthers extended their streak to three with a victory over the Page Panthers. Leake took only eight seconds to give Rappahannock a 2-0 lead, a lead that was never relinguished. Capitalizing on good passing and six offensive rebounds, RCHS built a 25-12 advantage at the end of the first quarter. The Panthers continued to increase their lead in a strong second quarter that was marred only by Leake picking up his third personal foul. Rappahannock was ahead. 41-26, at the half in what was beginning to look like a rout. Unncessary fouls in the second half plagued the Panthers who still managed to lead by 21 points, 49-28, less than midway through the third period. A strong Page rally in the final quarter spearheaded by Chris Himmler, Mark Comer and Tim Comer, who had 23, 14 and 18 points respectively, cut that 21 points to a slim four, 67-63, with four minutes left. But two teachnical fouls, which Myers converted into two points, and a Clarence Pendleton lay-up killed the comeback and Rapp went on to win, 7669.

In his court appearance on December 7, Wagoner showed the judge his copy of the state game regulations and explained how he had read the map in such a way as to believe that bear season was open when he shot his bear on November 15. Bankston said that Wagoner had brought the carcass to the checking station at the Flint Hill Storehouse to be weighed and checked. When Bankston learned of the bear killing, he went to see Wagoner at his Front Royal home and charged him with the offense. Bankston said that it was clear to him that Wagoner was confused and had not meant to break the hunting law. “The fact that he checked the bear in Flint Hill certainly shows that his intentions were good,” said Baumgardner. “I recommend leniency for this man." “I don’t understand this either," said Alexander, after reviewing the map provided by Bankston. Alexander. Bankston and Baumgardner struggled with the law in an attempt to avoid a $500 replacement fee for Leonard. “Well, we’ll fine him for possessing' a bear,” Alexander said. “No evidence is before the court that he shot the animal.” A relieved Wagoner was fined $25.00 and costs.

IFOOT FACTS' Dr. Bruce Vogel Podiatrist Foot Specialist The foot is a mirror of your general health Many times problems that are present in the body will manifest themselves in the foot. A certain pain or discoloration may not be a localized problem, but may be a problem that is affecting the entire body and showing itself on the foot. ^Sjnce the foot takes morq stress than many other areas of the body it is prone to more physical injury. A nonhealing sore on the foot could be an indication of diabetes or vascular disease. A rash on the foot may not be a fungus infection (athlete’s foot) but may be a sign of diabetes, vascular insufficiency, a generalized infection or other systemic problems. Many patients think gout affects only the foot, however, it also has a strong affect on the kidneys and other joints.

But the Rappahannock boys also pulled a season high 40 rebounds despite a poor effort on the defensive boares, the coach added. The RCHS squad hit another season high from the field to balance their low at the foul line, connecting on 74 percent of their attempts. Coach Dawson said he wasn’t happy with the team’s 26 fouls which he described as silly and unnecessary. He had a big smile, however, for the 20 assists credited to Rappahannock. Pendleton led the Panthers with 16 points followed by Myers with 15 Tom Sisk had ten rebounds and Mike Leake pulled in nine. “We’re finally playing like we practice," the coach concluded after the Panthers’ three game sweep.

They made cakes, candy, and, of course, Christmas cookies of every description. A favorite of the colonial housewife was seed cakes made from all kinds of seeds: caraway, coriander and cumin. Thomas Jefferson was trying to promote the use of Kenne or sesame seeds in Virginia, thinking that it would be a popular commercial crop. You may want to duplicate this old recipe, from The Virginia Housewife, written by Mrs. Mary Randolph, and other' early American favorites in your kitchen this Christmas. Sesame Seed Cakes 1 cup white sugar 3/« cup butter 3 slightly beaten eggs 'A cup brandy 2 cups flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon soda 2 cups flour 1 cup lightly toasted, warm sesame seeds. Cream sugar and butter well, and eggs, sift in dry ingredients. Chill. Roll out very thin and sprinkle with a generous layer of warm, lightly-toasted sesame seeds, roll lightly over them to press in the cake. Cut with small fancy cutters and bake on an ungreased baking sheet at 350 degrees until light golden brown. Caramel Corn Gutter* 1 package of caramels '/< cup sugar '/< cup water 2 quarts popped pop corn 2 cup peanuts Combine caramels, sugar and water in saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring contantly until mixture is smooth and comes to a full boil; continue to stir constantly while mixture boils gently for 5 minutes. Combine pop corn and peanuts in large baking pan. Pour caramel sauce over pop corn mixture and quickly toss, using two forks until pop corn and peanuts are well coated. Spread mixture on cookie sheets. Let stand until cold, then break into clusters. Mr*. Chaffin's Sesame Cookies 1 cup flour 1 egg, well-beaten ‘/a cup shortening Vi teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon almond flavoring 10 tablespoons white sugar 6 tablespoons brown sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder 4 tablespoons coconut 1 tablespoon milk Vi teaspoon sesame seed Toast sesame seeds in oven with a little butter until slightly brown. Cream shortening and sugars. Add flavoring and egg. Sift dry ingredients and add with milk. Mix in coconut and sesame seeds. Drop from spoon on greased cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees for about ten minutes. Shrewsbury Cakes 1 cup sugar 4 cups flour 1 tablespoon cinnamon and nutmeg, mixed I cup butter 3 eggs I Vi teaspoons baking powder Mix all dry ingredients and sift. Add eggs slightly beaten and butter. Knead this as well as you would for bread, until it is thoroughly mixed and easy to handle. Roll quite thin on floured board. Cut into shapes and bake in hot oven. This amount makes about five dozen average sized cookies. Walnut Wafers 2 eggs 1 cup walnuts 1 cup brown sugar 4 level tablespoons flour '/j teaspoon baking powder % teaspoon salt. Beat eggs lightly, chop walnuts. Drop mixture from small spoon on buttered pans and bake about 10 or 12 minutes. Christmas Nut Cakes One pound pulverized sugar, one pound meats of hickory nuts, and whites of six eggs. Beat eggs for half an hour, then add sugar and nuts last. Bake on buttered papers in slow oven. countin' ■ nom/ ROBERT METCALFE Qanaral Con tractor/Builder New Homes Additions Remodeling Box 147 Flint Hill, Va. 703-675-3897 V*.
