Rappahannock News, December 30, 1982

SAMPLE 33rd YEAR, NO. 52 USPS 45558C 10 Pages THURSDAY, DECEMBER 30. 1982 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA Phone 675-3349 25' EMS Units Win Four Grants “Rappahannock has cleaned up again!” reported a delighted Gary Rosson as he announced the award of four Virginia Rescue Squad Assistance Fund grants to local units. The county has reaped a tremendous harvest in the five years that the assistance program has been in existence, Rosson noted. He recalled grants in past years to Flint Hill. Washington and Chester Gap for ambulances and to the county’s Fire and Rescue Assication for the new dispatch center’s communications equipment. "Per capita. Rappahannock has probably received more money than any other locality in Virginia.” As director of the Rappahannock Rapidan Emergency Medical Services Council, Rosson has been instrumental in securing Assistance Fund grants for the five-county area that covers Rappahannock. Orange. Cupeper, Fauquier and Madison counties. The 41 grants awarded in the latest cycle by Dr. James Kenley, state health commissioner. include: —$8,000 for a used basic life support ambulance to Castleton Community Volunteer Fire Department, —$513 for basic life support equipment (KED. traction splints, pneumatic rescue kit) to Chester Gap Volunteer Rescue Squad, —$750 for communications equipment (five pagers) to Flint Hill Fire Department, —$1,960 for communications equipment (seven pagers) to Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad. The grants to Castleton and Chester Gap are hardship grants with an 80 percent state-20 percent local split. Awards to Flint Flint Hill and Sperryville are the standard 50 percent state and local match. Twice a year, recommendations for grant recipients are made by the (Continued on Page 2) Closed For New Year’s County and state offices will be closed Friday, December 31, in observance of New Year’s.

Hutchinson MAKING A JOYFUL CHRISTMAS NOISE, Judy Bomberger, Don Bomberger, Waldron O’Connell and Barbara Sherman (left to right) led the audience at the Rappahannock Christmas Festival in familiar carols. The R A AC-sponsored program included a delightful range of holiday offerings: the gospel choir from Macedonia Baptist Church, the Shape-Note singers, a recorder quartet, a reading from Dylan Thomas' “A Child's Christmas in Wales." and performance of an original dance choreographed for the Last Minute Wood Company by Jeanne Drevas. In the Wood Company's version of the “The 12 Days of Christmas," the true love gave magic mountains, logs for splitting, ponds for swimming, nine kinds of cattle, antique dealers and an apple from a Rappahannock tree. The Courtroom Provided 1982*s Top Stories High drama in the Rappahannock County Courthouse was the big story of 1982. The first week of the new year saw the final chapter of a saga that began in November. 1979. when Peter Marx of Washington was shot by Ernest Lee Douglas. One attorney involved in the case described the testimony in the two-day trial as "incredibly unusual, incredibly different and incredibly bizarre." The jurors heard allegations that former President Jimmy Carter, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, the Rockefeller family and other high ranking U.S. officials were part of a conspiracy to establish a one-world, socialistic government. They heard the defendant claim that the assassination of John F. Kennedy was a fake; that the American Civil Liberties Union is formulating a plan to.- destroy half the U.S. population within the next 20 years; that Virginia's senatorial candidate Richard Obenshein did not die in a plane crash and is instead probably living in Cuba. But the jurors were unswayed by Douglas’ contention that he was making a citizen’s arrest when he shot Marx and after just an hour's deliberation found him guilty of malicious shooting, fixing sentence at 15 years in prison. Following hours of arguments on legal technicalities by a courtroom full of lawyers. Judge Shore Robertson set aside a portion of Virginia Fletcher Wood's will last June and directed that half of her more than $1.6 million estate go to her heirs at law rather than to heart research. Wood Estate Virginia Fletcher and Robert Eugene Wood died when flood waters swept them from the bidge at Fletchers Mill in August. 1979. They left no children or other close relatives and two holographic wills dated 1948. Eugene Wood's will, which divided his $153,116 estate between the cancer society and heart fund, was upheld bv the judge. Robertson's ruling split Mrs. Wood’s estate between the Virginia affiliate of the American Cancer Society and her heirs at law. Holmes Will In a case that the Washington Post covered with a front page article,' a Rappahannock jury heard 12‘ 2 days of testimony last summer before deciding that Earl E. Holmes, Flint Hill orchardist who died of liver cancer in November, 1979. executed a valid will the day after being told he had a month to live, leaving his entire SI.8 million estate to his doctor, naval commander Peter Nielson. In upholding the will, the jurors discounted arguments that Col. Holmes was mentally incompetent at the time the will was executed; that Dr. Neilson exercised undue influence on his patient to make the bequest; and that the document itself had been fraudulently altered. Murder In October, a sensational murder trial and a verdict reached by 12 Rappahannock men and women directed national attention on the county. There were television (Continued on Page 2) For 2nd Funding Cycle Optimism Rises On Block Grant Odds The mood switched from depression to cautious optimism at the Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority’s meeting last week as the members assessed chances of success in the next round of block grant funding. Three weeks ago, the Water and Sewer Authority (WSA) learned that the county’s $478,193 application for a community development block ^ grant for Sper\mJJP,s^ sewer system had been denied. Then the following week, in a local example of the domino effect, the $1.4 million construction grant from the State Water Control Board (SWCB) for the village’s sewage disposal project was deferred for funding in fiscal year 1983. Construction of the longdelayed solution to Sperryville's pollution problem depended on securing both grants. With just the SWCB’s $1.4 million, monthly user fees would have been higher than low and moderate income families in the service area could afford. So the Water Control Board made its grant contingent upon award of the $478,193 block grant necessary to bring monthly sewer bills down to the $10-$ 12 range. Six months ago, when Rappahannock's bock grant odds looked favorable, the county supervisors agreed to guarantee funds for engineering work on the sewer system’s Final design with the understanding that the local money would be repaid after the block grant was awarded. Denial of the grant left the WSA slightly over $20,000 in debt to Rappahannock’s general fund, the only resources for reimbursement either sale of WSA property designated as a site for the sewage treatment plant, issuance of bonds or success with a second block grant application. The consensus that came after a round of meetings in Richmond two weeks ago between the WSA members, the Health Department, SWCB and Department of Housing and Community Development is that the outlook is good for Rappahannock to be one of the winners in August when awards for the next block grant funding cycle are announced. Reportedly, the county would have received a grant for Sperryville’s sewer in the first cycle if the funding application had been filed under imminent health hazard. The health hazard ranking would have added 150 points to the county's application. The Sperrwille project garnered 628 points without the health threat destg ation; the lowest rated grant pplication which was funded with 723 points. Blame Divided Ai last Monday's WSA meeting, secretary Bob Dennis divided the blame for failure to apply as an imminent health threat between the Authority members, John Capelle (executive director of the Planning District Commission who actually filled out the grant application) and the bureaurocrats in Richmond. “Someone at the Department of Housing and Community Development could have made a phone call and straightened this out in the beginning," he said, “But I don't think it (the denial of Rappahannock's application for funding in the first block grant cycle) is going to slow us up much." Dennis reported that letters front the SWCB dated December 6 and 10 basically announce approval of preliminary plans for Sperryville’s innovative STEP (septic tank effluent pump) collection system and conventional package treatment plant. “Between the two letters, we have final clearance from the Water Control Board to go ahead." Dennis added, however, that final approval has not yet been received from the Environmental Protection Agency, source of the SI.4 million construction grant allocated by the Water Control Board. Even if the community development block grant had been awarded to Rappahannock, work on the sewer system couldn’t have started without a green light from EPA, Dennis noted. “It takes longer for a federal agency to sign-oft... Nobody knows of any problem. It just takes time," he said. Letter From Commissioner Dennis reported that Eric Barsch, director of the Health Department's division of water programs, is personally familiar with the situation in Sperrvville and considers the pollution of ground water and the Thornton River arising from the village's malfunctioning septic fields to be "one of the worst in the state." According to Dennis. Barsch has advised the Water and Sewer Authority to write the state health commissioner, requesting that Sperrvville be designated as an imminent health hazard for the purposes of the block grant application. "There's no question but that they will recertify Sperrvville as a health hazard. The facts are so obvious. so welldocumented that the Health Department won’t even have to resurvey," Dennis said. He added that, according to Barsch. there is no danger of the Health Department closing businesses or taking other enforcement action in response to the request for health threat designation. "They will only recertify Sperrvville as a health hazard,” Dennis said. Since the county and not the Water and Sewer Authority is the applicant for the block grant, the WSA members agreed to ask the board of supervisors to formally authorize John Capelle.. director of the Rappahannock - Rapidan Planning District Commission. to submit a request for funding in the second block grant cycle. Dennis reported that workshops on preparing applications are scheduled for January. The Department of Housing and Community Development will release its new block grant prospectus in March and applications will be available in April. Deadline for submission is set for June I with awards to be announced between July 1 5 and early August. "I feel even more optimistic on our chances," Dennis said. "Of course, I thought we'd get it (the community development block grant) last time and we didn't but now we know exactly where we made our (Continued on Page 2) Rappahannock News Citizens Of The Year For 1982 Volunteerism Is Way Of Life For Howard And Helen Holschuh If President Reagan ever wants an example of the volunteer spirit he’s looking for in the American people, he needs only to look to Rock Mills to find Howard and Helen Holschuh, the Rappahannock News' Citizens of the Year for 1982. In the ten years they’ve been in the county, they’ve added their names to the active membership rosters of a long list of local organizations. They’re involved with old people and young people, history enthusiasts and environmentalists, civic groups and gardeners. They’ve given freely of their talents and their energies and by doing V so, have enriched the county and its people. “I wish there were more like them in this world!” said Rev. William Lancaster, pastor of Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church to which the Holschuhs belong. Both Helen and Howdy (as he’s known to his friends) are Sunday School teachers at Mt. Lebanon. He’s a deacon and treasurer for the church; she’s a past director of the Vacation Bible School and on the sesquicentennial committee organizing Mt. Lebanon’s 150th birthday celebration for 1963. “She IS the committee, really,” Rev. Lancaster noted. Capt. Holschuh has been Youth Director for Mt. Lebanon for the past six years and this summer organized the first youth trip for the church's young people, a sojourn in Maine to run a Vacation Bible School. The couple also took part in the Baptist Volunteer Missions Program over the summer, spending two weeks at their own expense helping a missionary in Mexico. According to Rev. Lancaster, the Holschuhs are planning to go again this summer to do volunteer work in Colorado or Nevada. Active In Scooting If good Scouts grow up to be good citizens, then Howdy and Helen Holschuh can take some of the credit for turning out a host of good American citizens. Capt. Holschuh is one of the driving forces behind the effort to establish an Explorer Post in the county. He’s organized rock climbs and other outings designed to give young people a taste of high adventure, an alternative to the highs of drugs and alcohol. Since their arrival here, Helen has been a consultant to Rappahannock’s Girl Scouting program. She has trained leaders. concentrating on her specialties of outdoor cooking and crafts, and she organized the county’s first camperee. As an example of the leadership qualities she helped her girls develop, one of Helen's former scouts is now Washington, D. C., and Germany. Helen has been association chairman, board member, day camp director, cadette leader, senior advisor, service unit chairman, delegate to the Girl Scout National Convention, trainer, consultant and member of the Girl Scout Selection HELEN HOLSCHUH combined enrichment and fun for older folks with her Garden Club activities in an environmental poster contest she organized at each of the Area Agency on Aging’s nutrition sites. president of the Skyline Council. ‘‘She's been almost everything in scouting and in a lot of different places,” said leader Sharon Kilpatrick. From a Girl Scout member as a child in Pennsylvania to an adult scouter in Hawaii, Committee. In ceremonies conducted by the Virginia Skyline Council in 1978. she was awarded a Thanks Badge, the highest award and greatest honor that Girl Scouts bestow on adult members. The Holschuhs spent some of their seemingly inexhaustable energies on developing a camp site at their Rock Mills home. With a comfortable, although nonwinterized, bunk house, nature trails and swimming hole, it provides the perfect introduction to the outdoors for church groups and scout troops they invite from the city. For local youngsters, it gives added appreciation for the countryside around them. The couple has worked with young people on a more personal basis as well. They’ve taken problem children into their home and opened their doors and hearts to youngsters from other lands, hosting teenage visitors in the Lions Club’s Youth Exchange Program. Building Goodwill They've put out the welcome mat to others besides young people as the result of Howdy's association with the Rappahannock Lions. On a visit to Costa Rica in 1978, Capt. Holschuh attended a meeting of the local Lions Club there as a representative of the Rappahannock Lions. He met Tony P ez who with his wife Maritza has visited the Holschuhs twice at their Rock Mills home. The relationship that the Holschuhs have built with the Perezes is an example of how i an act of friendship and kindness can have consequences that far outweigh the original gesture. Perez works with the U. S. Embassy’s International Communications Agency as public relations officer. It’s his job to explain this country’s position on critical issues to Costa Ricans. The better understanding of rural America he’s gained through time spent in Rappahannock with the Holschuhs can only benefit the United States. Volunteer Journalist Howdy does much more for the Lions, though, than host foreign visitors. For the last several years, he's written the monthly news letter, reporting on club programs and projects, announcing comings and goings, extending congratulations on birthdays and wishes for a speedy recovery from illnesses. The Lions newsletter is just one of the projects on which Capt. Holschuh brings his considerable journalistic experience to bear. His career began as photo-editor of his New York high school’s yearbook. He majored in journalism in college in (Continued on Page 2) HOWARD HOLSCHUH hosted Costa Rican Lion Tony Perez and his wife Maritza on two recent trips to the United States. Active in the Historical Society, the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, scouting, the Garden Club, church work, senior citizen groups and the local Lions Club, Howdy and his wife Helen embody the volunteer spirit of volunteerism.

Holschuhs Are Model Volunteers (Continued from Page I) Westminster, Pennsylvania, and transferred to Stanford University where he earned a bachelor's and master's degree, assisting with the college newspaper and serving as assistant editor of its yearbook. Holschuh next worked as a radio newswriter for a San Francisco station before joining the Navy. After his retirement in 1972. he resumed his involvement with journalism through volunteer effort s here in Rappahannock. For the last five years, he's put out the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection's quarterly newsletter. “It's a heck of a lot of work." noted RLEP president Phil Irwin. "Howdy digs out environmentally related stories himself and takes the material we (other RLEP members) give him, combines the information, rewrites i\ edits it, does all the lav-out. takes it to the printers, picks it up. handles the addressing and the delivery. RLEP is deeply indebted to him for all the effort he's given the job." Irwin also praised Holschuh's talents as a photographic chronicler, noting that he's compiled a definitive set of county photographs for Rappahannock postcards. In addition. Howdy and Helen have taken rolls and rolls of slides on their trips to foreign countries and put together entertaining and educational slide shows. They've presented their collections at Lions Club meetings, for senior citizens at the county's nutrition site, at local nursing homes and at Rappahannock County Library programs. There are many people in the county with the time to do volunteer work. Irwin noted. "Howdv and Helen have the inclination as individuals," he added. Fifteen months ago, Capt. Holschuh took over as editor of the Area Agency on Aging's monthly publication. The Voice of Experience. A volunteer. Holschuh replaced a former paid employee when funding cuts eliminated the position. "The quality of the paper really improved," reported Sally Morgan, head of the Area Agency. ‘‘All of a sudden, we had feature articles. The style was more interesting. Capt. Holschuh ferreted out so many interesting seniors to interview. And in addition to all the writing, he does all the layout and paste-up."

Rappahannock Farmer’s Co-op Sperryville, Va.o 987-8555 According to Morgan, her new volunteer is 100 percent dependable. “1 can always count on him to have things done. It's so great to have the paper on time for a change. He's always thinking about ways to improve the quality and content. He’s genuinely interested in older folks and that’s conveyed in the newsletter. We absolutely could not do The Voice without Capt. Holschuh. And he’s sooooo nice to work with.” said Morgan. Helen has also donated time to the seniors. She recently organized the Rappahannock Garden Club's poster contest at the Area Agency's nutrition program sites, providing suggestions on design and helping with art work. “It was a great project for our older folks.” Morgan reported. Helen's involvement with the Rappahannock County Garden Club runs "from A to Z,” noted club member Marge Exton. "For our yearbook, she whips out some things and we win a prize or at least an honorable mention. When we have to have an exhibit for a flower show in Luray and everybody else is just sitting on their hands, Helen volunteers ‘I’ll do it,’ and she always does it weU. I can go on and on and on..." Mrs. Exton said. She's been the go-getter for the Rappahannock Historical Society, too. She was the creative force behind the booklet for the walking tour of the town of Washington. "Helen was the one who went around to the homes and businesses and gathered all the information,” said Kathy Kiley, her co-worker on the project. She took all the information and documents gathering dust in the Historical Society’s basement and organized the material into files. She’s catalogued family graveyards, organized piles of newspaper clippings, and collected stories on the county’s oldest homes. Currently president of the Society. Helen has transformed the meetings from dull but faithful adherence to every dotted “i" and crossed in Robert’s Rules of Order to lively and informative sessions featuring tours of historic Montpelier and oral history slide and tape shows. Helen has a deep and abiding love for animals as well as for people—at least for one certain type of animal. She's the selfappointed turtle savior for the county, picking up the vulnerable creatures from back roads and highways and carrying them to safety at the Holschuhs’ turtle sanctuary. "Don’t forget the turtles or it wouldn't be them!” admonished Mrs. Lancaster, w ife of Mt. Lebanon’s pastor. As federal and state budget reductions cut deeper and deeper into community service, health and welfare programs, governments in Washington and Richmond will be looking to volunteers to fill in the holes in the safety net. There is no better example of the wonders that volunteers can work than the achievements of Howdy and Helen Holschuh, Citizens of the Year for 1982. REALTY WORLD cF(eal „ Estate Al. ml'Gfy tlAlTOV MECHANICS LIEN In most states a mechanics lien on your property may be imposed to ensure that workmen, contractors, and suppliers will be paid for their work and materials. If the bill isn’t paid, procedures may actually begin to sell your house in order to collect. Some states are modifying this kind of lien on the home, but it is crucial to know your local laws. Usually such problems arise when a contractor has subcontracted part of the work and then does not pay up. You may not even be aware of the arrangements, yet suddenly you're hit with a lien. To protect yourself in advance, do not sign any work completion certificate until you get duplicate bills or other proof showing that the contractor has paid everyone who worked on the project. Or you might get all people involved to sign lien waivers before you pay the last bill. It’s always prudent to have your attorney check any home improvement contract where your home will be used as security for payment.

EMS Grants (Continued from Page 1) state's Emergency Medical Services Advisory Council to the state health commissioner who makes the final decision. In the current grant cycle, 127 applications requesting over $1.45 million were received. The 41 grants awarded by Dr. Kenley totaled $369.1 23. Selection criteria include financial need for the applicant and other needs identified bv regional Emergency Medical Services Councils and by field representatives of the Health Department's Division of Emergency Medical Services. The Rescue Squad Assistance Fund was established in 1978 by the Virginia General Assembly to provide financial aid to rescue squads and other emergency medical services agencies that operate on a non-profit basis solely for the benefit of the general public. The grants awarded two weeks ago by Kenley ranged in amount from $200 to $36,323 (which involved 11 different agencies) and were generally for such items as ambulances and communications equipment. The 41 grants will directly benefit 1 05-pre-hos pit al rescue agencies and several hospitals throughout the state. Bald Eagles Surveyed The Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries will conduct its annual midwinter bald eaglesurvey of the state in midJanuary. This survey will be conducted by Mitchell A. Byrd of the College of William and Mary and is part ot the Commission’s program being funded with revenues derived from the Non-Game Wildlife check-off bill. Mid-winter surveys of bald eagles conducted by the Commission in 1981 and 1982 revealed an increased number of eagle in the state from previous years, reflecting the improved production of young birds in most areas of the country. Many of these wintering eagles originate in northern states. In January 1982 the survey revealed 60 bald • eagles utilizing the James and Chickahominy rivers. Although wintering eagles are located along most of the major river systems in Virginia, there are several areas open to the public where eagles regularly occur and where the birds might be observed bv interested persons. The Commission’s Hog Island Waterfowl Refuge in Surry County presently harbors two adult eagles as well as an immature bird. These birds regularly are seen on the back end of the Refuge which is open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day. The Commission’s Lands End Refuge on the upper Rappahannock River below Port Royal has a number of wintering eagles which normally use the river shoreline of the Refuge. Two Federal refuges, Presquile on the James River at Hopewell and Mason's Neck on the upper Potomac River both have numbers of wintering eagles. Access to these Federal refuges may be obtained by prior arrangements with the appropriate refuge manager. Since these state and Federal refuge areas are managed largely for waterfowl and other species, a visitor may expect to see a diversity of bird life as well as bald eagles. Horticulture At Blandy Farm Lord Fairfax Community College will offer a midwinter quarter schedule of courses off-campus at Blandy Farm in Boyce, Virginia. The courses scheduled are Pasture Management, Flower Gardening, and Landscape Planning. Pasture Management will be offered as a two-day seminar on Saturday, January 22 and 29 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. For further information, contact the Business, Agriculture, and Technology Division at the college by phoning 869-1120. * Chances Look Good (Continued from Page 1) mistake and we won’t do it again.” Although Sperryville's $1.4 million construction grant has been deferred for fiscal year 1983. the State Water Control Board has a $3.8 million contingency fund. In an interview two weeks ago. SWCB Director Ernie Simmons pledged that the Water Control Board will dig into that contingency fund — if it hasn’t been exhausted by cost over-runs on other projects — for Sperryville, should the county secure a block grant in the second cycle. “Whoever gets to that contingency fund first with a valid reason is going to get the money," said Dennis last week. He added that the SWCB staff thinks bids in approved projects are on target. ‘‘Some are even coming in below estimates on project cost so the contingency fund could grow," he concluded. Top Stories Of 1982 (Continued from Page 1) crews, radio representatives and reporters from national and state newspapers here for to see Theodore Gregory tried for the murder of his estranged wife's lover. Gregory w charged with first decree murder in proceedings that were moved from Loudoun County due to extensive pretrial publicity. He pleaded not guilty by reason of irrisistible impulse. The jury found him Gregory guilty of manslaguther and fixed his punishment at a $1,000 fine. Crime and courthouse drama continued to dominate the headlines at the close of 1982 with the empanelment in November of the county’s first special grand jury to investigate the shooting death of Ranee Spellman, manager of Points of View Farm in Flint Hill. Spellman was shot while operating a bulldozer on a disputed right of way which serves property owned by Mr. and Mrs. Roger Kidwell and three lots owned by Spellman's employer. After taking testimony from Roger and Diane Kidwell; Patricia Saltsonstall, owner of Points of View Farm; law enforcement officers and others, the special grand jury handed over its sealed report to commonwealth’s Attorney Douglas Baumgardner. Baumgardner requested the court to call back the regular grand jury into session, announcing that if an indictment was returned, he planned to prosecute Diane Kidwell for second degree murder. The grand jury returned a murder indictment and a preliminary hearing for the case has been set for early January. Assessment After a year of hearing from property owners dissatisfied with values set on their land and improvements in the county's 100 percent fair market value reassessment, the Rappahannock Board of Equalization will close its books on December 31. Complaints prompted a joint meeting in May between Equalization Board members. representatives from the Board of Supervisors and Fred Forberg, director of the property tax division of the State Department of Taxation. Forberg found the re-assessment figures reasonable, noting that the ratio of assessments to actual fair market value as measured by sales was running about 78 or 79 percent. The re-assessment raised the county wide total for taxable property from $11,582,821 ro $241,140,400. The Jail In April, Fauquier Sheriff Luther Cox announced that his jail would no longer accept Rappahant ock's prisoners, attributing the decision to overcrowded conditions. Since then Sheriff W. A. Buntin has been scrambling every time an arrest is made, calling every facility within a 100 mile radius to find space for inmates who need to be kept longer than the 24-limit set for the county’s belowstandard lock-up. Under the Virginia Code, the board of supervisors is responsible for providing a county jail and can be compelled by the circuit court to erect and repair a facility that meets minimum standards set by the State Department of Corrections. To solve Rappahannock's dilemma, the officials from the Department of Corrections recommended a new 12-bed jail, estimated at $800,000. After a brief evaluation of existing facilities, the Department’s architect projected a $150,000 cost to bring the county lock-up to standards. ■ The possibility of building an extension to the rear of the old jail was dropped in favor of renovation after the supervisors themselves toured the cellblocks in May with Department of Corrections representatives. The Economy Farm income dropped in 1982 while production costs continued their sharp climb, catching farmers in a pricecost squeeze that is resulting in record numbers of acres being taken out of agricultural production across the country. ‘‘For Sale" signs have popped up in a few Rappahannock pastures, a signal of the hard times for local farmers. For most of the year, Rappahannock led the planning district in unemployment rates, far ahead of the bigger and more heavily populated counties of Orange, Culpeper. Fauquier and Madison. The jobless rate here topped 11.4 percent in September before dropping back to 8.4 percent in October, the latest month for which the Virginia Employment Commission has released statistics. The county’s largest employer, the Aileen Sewing Plant in Flint Hill, closed its cutting room early in the year but re-opened the section in mid-September to absorb the load resulting from the shutdown of the company's branch in Southwest Virginia. Aileen spokesman Wayne Walker reported in November that the Flint Hill operation expected to hire more cutting room and sewing ropm workers. But at the same time, he confirmed that cash flow problems arising from decreased orders have resulted in cuts of employee benefits. Sperryvllle’s Sewer Certainty fhat Rappahapnock would be one of the winners in the new block grant program proved misplaced. When awards were announced in December, the county’s application for $478,193 was not one of the 22 funded from the $14 million allocated by the federal government to Virginia. But members of Rappahannock's Water and Sewer Authority are cautiously optimistic that denial means just another slight delay in the longdelayed project, not its abandonment. Reportedly, semantics confused the issue in the first go-round with chance for an additional 150 points missed through failure to file the application under imminent health threat category. A new application is being prepared for submission in the second funding cycle while efforts continue to hold together the State Water Control Board’s $1.4 million construction grant until block grants are awarded again in August. Development A depressed economy and the county’s zoning ordinances continued to hold the gates against major residential development in 1982. The year saw preliminary approval given to a 120-bed adult group home planned for the old ski area site in Harris Hollow and a Catholic Retreat center near Huntly on part of Sommarbeth Farm. A proposal for a large-lot luxury development on the balance of Sommarbeth Farm was also unveiled but the year ended without filing of formal application for the 24-lot subdivision.

There's a lot to be said for deregulation. Probably the one best reason behind the government's decision to deregulate the telephone industry is competition. Competition that lets us choose who will sell us what we need and for what price. By removing some of the regulations and restrictions which now control telephone companies, the Federal Communications Commission hopes to give telephone customers more choices, especially when it comes to acquiring telephone equipment. In fact, encouraging our customers jj to buy telephone equipment is one \ of the ways we've changed at Centel, as the nature of the business itself has changed with the move toward deregulation over the past three years. And we're going to do our best to help you understand any changes that are still to come. Your phone will be your own, For years the only way you could get a telephone was to lease one from the telephone company But under the new FCC guidelines, after January 1,1983, we will not be required to lease telephones and other equipment to new one-party customers. So, now when you need a new phone, you will have to buy it like you would any small appliance. One-party customers who now lease phones from us will still be able to lease their phones until they move. Although party-line customers are initially unaffected by the new FCC guidelines, we expect they, too, will become subject to the new rules in the near future. We've already changed for the better. You may have already taken advantage of some of the service changes we began when we saw deregulation coming some time ago. For instance, when you need your phones repaired you can bring them to one of our Pick-a-Phonb Centers or other designated repair centers. We can fix most phones whie you wait. IMow it pays to do it yourself. You can even install phones yourself with our easy Installa-Phone instructions^™ a tew simple tools. Phones, jacks and wire are available at our Pick-a-Phone Centers. These services save you time and money because you do most of the work. And /ou do it when it's most convenient for you. I PICK-A~ PHOff Jg CENTER 1 One thing won't change. After deregulation, we'll still be your phone company. We'll continue to offer you local and long distance service and you'll still be able to get phones, installation and repairs from Centel. And there's one more thing you can count on from us. We're going to work even harder to continue providing you with quality service you can count on.

Mon.-Fri Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company. Inc Member Audit Bureau of Circulation Reason to Celebrate This Saturday is the first day of a new year—traditionally a time of hope and promise. Throughout Rappahannock, people will be making resolutions, setting old-year business straight, renewing acquaintances and expressing appreciation for new friends. In this county, the new year has a special meaning. One hundred and fifty years ago the county was formed with the boundaries we know today. We can only speculate about the public reaction at the time. Perhaps it was a controversial move, with complaints from county folks objecting to the change—perhaps it made little difference to the hardworking mountain and hill people. This anniversary, properly named the scsquicentennial, calls for some observance. With this in mind, we have planned a series of monthly articles on local history. It is our hope that any Rappahannock people with stories to tell or pictures from the past will help us. The library has agreed to schedule a series of story-telling sessions on these subjects, which we will use as a starting-point for further interviews. Please call us or come by the News office if you have anything—no matter how small—to add to our knowledge of county history. The historical articles, appearing the last week of every month, will be collected in book form at the end of the sesquicentennial year. We’re also introducing a sesquicentennial seal, designed for us by Rappahannock artist Dan Lewis. Our general manager, John Toler, noting that the county doesn’t have a seal, suggested that we come up with a design that could be used to mark the sesquicentennial observance. The combined efforts of Toler and Lewis resulted in the seal that we first used on our 1983 calendar. Other county groups are welcome to use it in any celebration of the county’s one hundred and fiftieth year. Finally, we hope that there will be many events planned to mark this milestone for Rappahannock. There has been a century and a half of change since this sparsely-populated county was separated from Culpeper on Feb. 8, 1833. Some of the events and natural disasters that we will be recording in our coming series have had farreaching effects that the county fathers could not have anticipated. Remaining for present-day county residents is the beautiful scenery, the ancient mountains, the hardy people, both natives and newcomers who have chosen this place over any other. We think that's plenty of reason to celebrate. This Was The News In Bygone Rappahannock Times... RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS EIGHT YEARS AGO THE VIRGINIA Commission of Outdoor Recreation agreed to undertake a study which would determine whether the Rappahannock and Rapidan Rivers might be included in the State or Federal Scenic River System. The criteria for inclusion into the system are “exceptional natural beauty of the river with consideration of wild life, fishing potential, quality of water, recreation opportunities, and historical features.” Census by mail was instituted for farmers nationwide. Questionnaires for the 1974 Census of Agriculture were mailed by the Bureau of the Census. Farmers were to complete the report forms and send them back ASAP. RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS THIRTEEN YEARS AGO The rurjtan club of Amissville wound up the old year with a packed evening session. Members were treated to a full course turkey dinner tastefully arranged and served by ladies of the Amissville Baptist Church under the leadership of Mrs. F. L. Bowey. The evening concluded with a highly informative and comprehensive talk concerning the work of the F.B.I. and the installment of newly elected officers. The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors continued to work doggedly to solve two major problems facing the county: an inadequate 9ewage system in Sperryville and unsatisfactory dumping facilities throughout the entire county. There is great concern over the pollution of the Thornton River in Sperryville caused by the direct piping of raw sewage into the river by some residents as well as over the recent failure of the refuse company providing dumpster units for county dump sites to honor its contract. According to complaints, the dumpsters were overloaded, unsightly and unsanitary. Radioman Second Class Ernest F. Clater, U.S.N., was awarded a Meritorious Mast for his work as a Teletypewriter Operator in the Defense Communications Agency Operations Center in Arlington, Va. Capt. John Sparger, U.S.N., Center Chief, presented the award. Clater is the son of Mrs. James Clater of Sperryville. RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS TWENTY-THREE YEARS AGO George h. davis, jr. was sworn in as Commonwealth 's Attorney of Rappahannock County on Monday, Dec. 28, by James M. Settle, Clerk of the County. Mr. Davis replaced J. W. Price, who did not seek reelection to office. Mr. Davis, a graduate of Randolph Macon College and of the University of Virginia School of Law, served as Commonwealth’s Attorney for Rappahannock from 1941 through 1948, taking a leave of absence to serve in the Navy during W. W. II. Our Rappahannock Heritage Letters To The Editor Support Needed To the editor: The Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year with safety and happiness for 1983. Our rescue squad has responded on 118 calls in 1982 with 14 members. I would like to give special thanks to these people for their time and care. In the upcoming year we will be faced with members moving from our area and squad, leaving us dangerously short of members to go on calls. We are asking those who may be interested in joining to please contact us so that we can keep our squad functioning as smoothly as possible. We have only two requirements, prospective members must go through training that the State has set to ensure that squad menners can give assistance to patients. The second requiement is that they must ere. People who cannot care hr their fellow man, black, thite, American or Japanese, lave no business joining a escue squad, because a lifeis a life. The Speryville Rescue Squad will soon be dispatched bj the Rappahannock Sheriff’s Department which will enable us to linction more efficiently on] calls. This means we will be needing to buy radio equpnent for our personnel. Being a completely volunteer organization, be radios will be very difftult for our squad to puroase in these hards times. Ve are asking our communitjto support us as much as possible in our upcoming fund drive. This money will go towards purchasing equipment and supplies, insurance, gasoline, heat and for maintenance of our building. None goes to the members; we pay for our gas, time and clothing, and sometimes for our equipment. Some call our annual fund drive begging for money. We call it taking an insurance policy in case someday you or someone in your family needs help quickly. So please support your local rescue squads because a life cannot be replaced. We can only do so much without your help. Thank you again for your support, and God bless you all in 1983. RICK JOHNSON Captain Sperryville Rescue Volunteers Made It Work To the editor: Sam and I would like Rappahannock to know who and how many gave of their time, energies, and gasoline to make last Wednesday evening’s entertainment at the tree lighting and the Gay Street Theatre, which RAAC sponsored, enjoyable to all who came and saw and sang and, at the end, partook of the Historical Society’s hospitality in their building.

Of course, Sidney Gottlieb, President of RAAC, who presided at the theatre. Thank you, Sid. SAM AND WALDRON O’CONNOR Early Retiremeit Cuts Checks A person who has worked long enough in Social Security-covered employment may choose to retire as early as age 62. But according to Bruce A. Hundley, Social Security manager in Culpeper, early retirement means that the amount of the monthly checks will be permanently reduced. “Payment amounts are also reduced if a wife, husband, widow or widower begins to get pajnents before 65,” Hundley sa3. “The amouit of the reduction depots on the number of monts before his or her 65th birtlday that the individual starts «ceiving the checks. A prson who chooses to retire .arly will get about the same amount of total benefits ove the course of the years as he or she would receive if retirement were delayed; however, the amount of each check will be smaller since they will be received over a longer period of time.” Additional information about retirement benefits may be obtained from the Culpeper Social Security office, located at 806 North Main Street.

From Both Barrels # The Jailhouse Prep Schools By GEORGE BOWLES On any given day, there are up to 200 youngsters locked up in the state’s 60 or so local jails which have been approved to house juveniles. In the course of any year, between 3,000 and 4,000 teenagers serve time in these jails, which were primarily designed to confine adult offenders. These youthful inmates are between 15 and 17 years of age. These grim statistics emerged last week in testimony before the Virginia Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Advisory Council, a legislative and citizen panel charged with advising the governor on matters related to juvenile justice. While the law requires that youthful inmates be segregated from adult lawbreakers, they are still held in the same lockups. According to James T. Roberts, a juvenile programs specialist with the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services, the youngsters are often quartered in the worst areas of the facilities since there are no specific provisions made for them. They are simply placed in whatever space is left after the adult confinement needs have been met. Perhaps most shockingly, only about one-fifth of these kids in jail are there because of involvement in adult crimes. Some are awaiting hearings in juvenile and domestic relations courts, or are serving sentences imposed by juvenile courts. Still others are so-called status offenders. These are the runaways, children of parents who cannot or will not control them, or who were caught at such things as underage drinking. Virginia prides itself on being a no-nonsense state when it comes to law and order, and this is certainly true with respect to its treatment of juvenile offenders. Indeed, the Old Dominion is one of only two states in the nation which allow juvenile judges to sentence young people to jail in addition to sending them to reform schools or ordering them to participate in rehabilitation programs. Statistically, the typical juvenile inmate spends an average of only three weeks in a jail. But three weeks is ample time for a 15 year old to complete his or her alienation from society and graduate with new skills which will likely, in due course, land the youth in the adult end of the cellblock, or worse. The Council agrees that something must be done about this admittedly intolerable situation, but what? Resorting to a device which has become all too common in our recent legislative experience, the Council recommended that a 12- to 18-month study be made of the problem, perhaps by the state Crime Commission. Given the stricken financial condition of the Commonwealth, perhaps a study of the matter is about all the legislature can be expected to accomplish until the recession eases and additional revenues become available. Still one is tempted to ask the pivotal question, what's to study? The relevent statistics seem to be available. The need to get the kids out of the jails is glaringly selfevident. Jails provide no educational and only limited recreational facilities. The potential for emotional and perhaps physical injury to these youthful inmates is universally acknowledged. Besides, the question has been studied repeatedly in Virginia as well as in other states. One of the elements essential for change which is missing, of course, is the money to build and staff facilities appropriate to the needs of a juvenile services program worthy of the name. But another is surely a sense of priority on the part of the legislature and the administration. Even without taking into account the human and sociological considerations, economic concerns alone suggest that it would probably be less costly to the tax payers to find adequate - and tough minded - juvenile faci now than it would be to build prisons later to accommodate the graduates of our jailhouse prep schools of crime. Avoiding the latter should rank pretty high on the agenda of any enlightened government.

There’s A LadyOn The Bench By IJAI’HNK HUTCHINSON Rappahannock 'New* Staff Writer “The other coaches have been polite but I hear things. They don’t appreciate losing to me,” reported Rappahannock’s junior varsity basketball coach. A loss is always disappointing but it’s doubly so this year for the opponents of the Junior Panthers. Male egos take a beating when defeat comes at the hands of the only squad in the area to be coached by a woman. Valerie Gehringer is the first female to lead a boys basketball team at RCHS. She follows in the grand tradition set by Ann Spieker who for years has directed the high school’s predominately male crosscountry contingents through successful seasons. “I can see in some cases where having a woman coach could work to our advantage." Gehringer acknowledged. “The refs go from shock to total acceptance. I don’t think they discriminate against me. If anything, I think they give me the benefit of the doubt.” Val applied for the post of JV coach this summer but it wasn’t until practice was already underway that the county school board approved her appointment.

The controversy has never materialized, probably due to the impressive record of six wins versus two losses that Gehringer's boys have tallied to date. “There’s always going to be coaches in the stands but I’d had no discipline problems with the team, no negative responses from the fans or the players,” she said. Gehringer wanted the job for experience. “I’d eventually like to coach — not teach — as a career,” said the RCHS English and drivers’ education instructor. At Longwood College, she majored in the fields she now teaches, not in physical education. "But I always liked basketball— all kinds of basketball — high school, college, pro. I’ve sat in the bleachers for hundreds of games." The summer she graduated from Longwood, she took the first step towards a coaching career, attending a special course at Virginia Tech. Since then, she’s taken additional classes at Madison and enrolled in several coaching clinics, collecting nine of the 15 credit hours she needs for certification. This summer, she plans to get the final six hours she must have to be certified as a coach. In her first coaching job, Val has received assistance from Doyle Dawson, who directs Rappahannock’s varsity basketball team. But Gehringer makes the decisions as to who plays and what strategy her boys will use on the court. She attributes the success of her squad to the talents of the players, however. “When they get right down to playing, they never ever give up. And they’re coachable. They listen.” The nucleus of the JV team worked together as eighth graders, compiling seven wins and only a single loss. Forward Rob Brown, who averages around 15 points per game, is the team leader. "Anything I have to send in goes through Rob,” FOOT FACTS1 Dr. Bruce Vogel Podiatrist Foot Specialist Fallen Arches by Dr. B. Vogel It is commonly believed that it is possible to have your arches fall in the midst of our adult lives. This is possible; however, it is rare and a special type of occurrence. Actually, people develop symptoms from their misaligned feet and begin to notice them at that time. The importance of flat feet is not their appearance but how they function. There are two major joints in the foot that dictate the appearance of the arch and if they are not functioning well we believe today that this is the basis for many other foot problems. We are not surprised if we allow our car’s front ends to stay out of alignment that the ball joints and tires wear out; why are so many people surprised to learn their bunions, corns and callouses can really stem from the same reason. A public service with the aim of promoting a better foot health environment. From the office of Dr. B. Vogel. Gehringer said. Tommy Jenkins at center is the other half of the offensive punch, also averaging IS points. According to the coach, forward Thomas Rector can be counted on to steady the team and add eight to ten points in the process. “He’s a very stable player,” Gehringer noted. The Junior Panthers have great bench strength at the guard positions. Deryk Moore, a good penetrating shooter, starts at point guard. The fifth starting slot alternates between Mike Atkins, the only sophomore in the JV nucleus, H. B. Wood and Craig Williams. “They play better coming off the bench,” Gehringer noted. The first-year coach hestitated when asked for a prediction on the outcome of the season but when pressed, described Rappahannock’s JV squad as the power to beat in the Bull Run District." She recalled that Page, a non-district opponent, was undefeated until they met the Panthers last week. “And so far, we’re the only team that Horse sporting events proliferated in Virginia in 1982 with hunter and jumper shows dominating the scene. Close to 50 events recognized by the Virginia Horse Shows Association were held during the year with at least 10 times as many local or schooling shows of every size and degree of importance completing the picture throughout the state, weekend, after weekend, after weekend. From the 1980’s may reemerge the age of the horse with the always popular equine becoming not only a symbol of status, but a most agreeable and versatile form of year round recreation for many, as well as a partner in competition. In the decades following World War II the emphasis was on progress through the use of machinery, computerization and the resulting high tech civilization in which we now exist. A basic need lying dormant throughout that era has begun to be recognized. As fascinating as all the gadgeteria may be. and as useful in so many areas of our lives, the need to relate to another living, breathing being cannot be denied. The day too no longer exists (and perhaps the myth) when the enjoyment derived from owning a horse was reserved for the rich. With the progress generated by technology also came improvement in standards of living. Advanced methods of transportation have made it feasible for persons to live farther away from their place of employment and still earn an excellent wage, enabling more families to move to the country and indulge in the pleasure of owning a horse or pony, while the breadwinner still only had a reasonable commute to the city. With this new life style the natural urge to share developed in several ways, and most often has been seen in the increase of competitive events, and the resurgence in popularity of such old Foreign & American Car Repairs Specializing in German & Japanese Made Cars Jack’s Service Center 30 Ashby Street Warrenton 347-3785 has beaten William Monroe,” another nondistrict adversary, Gehringer said. “The schedule looks real, real good, especially in our district,” she added, assessing Rappahannock’s chances at being one of the two teams to play in the JV tournament for the Bull Run championship. “If we make it to the finals, we’ll probably be facing either Brentsville or Clarke County.” In their first match-up against the Tigers, the Panthers came out on top with a one-point margin on the RCHS court. The Junior Varsity will test the boys from Clarke for the first time on January 4 at home. Gehringer has her sights set higher than JV coach at Rappahannock High School. Next year, she plans to reach for the next rung on the ladder. “After this season, I ' think it will be kind of boring to go back to coaching girls but if I’m going to get anywhere. I’ll have to start with girls, preferably at the college level,” she concluded. Rappahannock New* Photo/O. Hutchinson THE LADY ON THE BENCH is Rappahannock’s junior varsity basketball coach Valeria Gehringer. The only female coaching boys basketball in the Bull Run District and maybe in the state, Val has directed her charges to a 6-2 record thus far into the season. K nigh tsElimina ted The Rappahannock Knights were the first team to be eliminated from the holiday tournament they hosted at RCHS this week. On Monday evening, the local boys lost to Madison, 51-47, and to Front Royal, 53-50, after leading, 27-20. at the half. In a double elimination tournament, that should have knocked the Knights out of competition. But one of the undefeated teams from Monday failed to show up for Tuesday's opening game. Winners by forfeit, the Madison squad still wanted to play and the fans who showed up for the 6 p.m. content wanted to see action so the Knights were elected to fill the breach. The Rappahannock contingent drew first blood on a basket by Chico Veeny and then jumped to a 10-5 lead on two technical fouls called against Madison. With four minutes left in the first point, Madison cut the difference to one, 15-16, and moved a point in front, 2120, with a little over a minute on the clock. Pete Aylor tied the tally from the free throw line at 21. Then Veeny stole the ball and scored to make it 23-21, the Knights ahead. But Madison came back and tied the mark at 23 before the half-time buzzer. It was goodnight for Rappahannock's Knights from that point on. The better organized and better disciplined Madison squad completely dominated the second half to win going away. 52-41. Veeny was high scorer tor the Knights with 11 points. LeHew Named Chairman Larry LeHew. joint master of hounds for the Rappahannock Hunt, will chair the steering committee for the 1983 Virginia Pjint-toPoint series.

Dunning was nominated to fill the vacancy and will serve along with Will O’Keefe and Harry Wight as members. 1982. .. Gone Away! ! ! fashioned events as driving competitions, draft horse pulls and jousting tournaments. In 1982 several equine related events of significance took place for the benefit not only of the horse population in Virginia, but the human as well. One of the first of these was the construction of the long awaited Marion duPont Scott Equine Veterinary Medical Center at Morven Park in Leesburg. Although ground was broken for the center in the fall of 1981, actual construction did not begin until the spring of 1982, with final completion of the first phase on schedule for mid-198?. A construction crew of between 60 and 70 carpenters, bricklayers, plumbers, electricians, masons and laborers is employed full time in building the facility which will, when completed, provide patient housing for 30 horses, as well as clinical capabilities for examinations and special procedures, soft tissue and orthopedic surgery, intensive care, radiology, physical therapy, and pathology, as well as a research center. When the initial phase is completed and additional funding is raised, expansion plans call for construction to include a 100 stall capacity. At time of final completion the facility will enclose approximately 103.000 square feet and will have a resident faculty and staff of approximately 30. Another significant occurrence which should be of great benefit to the horse industry in Virginia is the release of funds allocated for use through the Breeder Incentive Program. The BIP, legislation for which was initially proposed as the result of a study by the General Assembly in late 1980, and signed into law early in 1981, hit a snag at the last minute when funds were struck from the budget. Finally, after much work on the part of Virginia horsemen in convincing the legislature of the need to recognize the breeding of outstanding horses in the state, funds were released. Up to $100,000 will be made available annually, with financial awards going to eligible nominees from all breed associations fulfilling requirement* of the program, one of which is the matching of public funds dollar for dollar by private funds. The Virginia Hunter Futurity also embarked upon its inaugural year in 1982. with a tremendous response of 112 nominations. The late summer of 1983 will see the first crop of Virginia-bred yearlings compete for top prize money. wilh 65 breeders participating. An important major local happening in the world of equestrian events was the approval by the Fauquier Board of Supervisors of the new facility at Old Tavern which encompasses 240 acres of rolling meadow at the intersection of Rts. 17 and 245, and which will be used 'initially for the Gold Cup and other steeplechase and turf events beginning in the spring of 1984 or 1985. The Great Meadow, as it has been appropriately and permanently named, will be managed by The Meadow Outdoors Foundation, a nonpro fit organization established by Arthur W. Arundel of The Plains, and headed by chairman Maximilian Tufts of Warren ton. Proceeds from all events planned at the site will go to Fauquier volunteer Fire and rescue squads and other community needs. Other events possibly to be held there in the future may be the Casanova Races, the Warrenton Horse Show and (he Warrenton Pony Show. As one looks around, as in shopping centers where symbols and labels are promoted almost as avidly as the barterers of old in the world's exotic trade centers, one most often sees the horse. Whether it be executing a brilliant dressage movement, a fast action (Kilo play, a breathtaking race over hurdles, calf roping or bronc riding, one sees more and more the symbol of the horse.

Energy Analysis Available The Potomac Edison Company recently achieved a significant milestone in its energy conservation program for residential customers. The company completed the 1,000th home energy analysis under its residential conservation service program, according to O. P. Bohn, PE’s director of customer services. The major feature of the home energy analysis, according to Bohn, is the inspection of the home by a trained Potomac Edison specialist who can determine where and how energy can be saved. “Each homeowner receives a detailed report which includes specific recommendations fpr energy saving steps, the approximate cost to install each step, and the potential dollar savings,” he said. Potomac Edison charges SIS for an analysis, although according to Bohn the actual cost is considerably more. All Potomac Edison residential customers are eligible for this energy analysis program and full details are available from any PE office.

Lynes Host Island Tour When people mention Hawaii, they usually mean 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 Haw aiian 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 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 Falls, a 420-foot cascade that forms an exotic lagoon surrounded by tropical vegetation. Bill Lyne, a retired Rappahannock County extension agent, and his wife. Frances, are hosting a 10-day tour beginning February 21. to Hawaii and two other major Hawaiian Islands: Oahu and Kauai. Persons who would like more in Bird Count Scheduled It’s time again for the annual Audubon Society's Christmas Bird Count. The objective is to try to identify as many different species in the local area. The census will be held in the vicinity of Double Tollgate on Dec, 18, at Luray, Dec. 19, and Calmes Neck, Jan. 2. The Double Tollgate count has compiled the highest number of different species for the Appalacian region in the past. Apart from the count’s attraction as a social, sporting, and competitive event, the census gives a clearer understanding of the early winter distribution of the different species. Additional birdwatchers are needed to participate in this annual event. Anyone interested in participating should contact Prof. Rob Simpson at 869-2051 or Lord Fairfax Community College at 869-1120. formation about the trip should contact the Lynes at Route 1, Box 465, Washington, VA 22747, 9878588. FLBA Issues Dividend The Board of Directors of the Federal Land Bank Association of Warrenton announced that the Association has declared a 5 percent dividend based on 1982 projected operations. Tim Tarr, General Manager, advises that approximately $422,800 will be returned to slock holding members in its ten county area. The dividend was paid to members of record September 30, 1982. The dividend checks were prepared by the Association offices in Warrenton, Leesburg, Orange and Culpeper and mailed to its members in ntid December. Bob Houck, Branch Manager of the Warrenton ofFtce said that $166,512 in dividends was paid in the counties of Fauquier, Prince William, Rappahannock and Stafford. Tarr reported that the Federal Land Bank experienced modest financial growth in 1982 resulting from a steady increase in both membership and loan volume. Membership in the cooperative association has climbed to 2,200, while loan volume will exceed $162,000,000. This resulted in an increase of 6 percent and 7 percent respectively over 1981. The Board of Directors anticipate less demand for credit due to current agricultural and economic conditions but the Association is prepared to assist farmer members wherever possible. It was also noted that more people are realizing the true significance of cooperatives, how they work and operate and that the borrowers as stockholders have a voice in how they would like to see the cooperative function. This is the third consecutive year that a dividend has been declared for the membership. In addition to the dividend, the Association also approved the retirement of excess capital stock. The result of this effort returned $78,300 to owner-members of the Warrenton Farm Credit Association. "It is the beautiful bird that gets caged."

Publishing and Printing (703) 675-3349 or 675-3338 A Retiring Sen. Byrd Promises Political Activities Will Continue By SEAM ADAMS 4run<4«*l Nrwapiprr* 1 rilrr Although Harry F. Byrd Jr. is letting go of his U. S. Senate seat next month, he won’t be letting go of politics. “I do not intend to retire in the accepted sense of that word," said Byrd, who will step down after 18 years in the Senate. "I expect to be very active and interested in political matters, both statewide and nationally." Byrd, 68, also indicated that he may even hit the campaign trail on behalf of other candidates. “Well, I’m not gonna rule that out,” he said. “It depends on the campaign, on the personalities, and on the issues.” During an interview last week in his Senate office in Washington, Byrd said he would be headquartered in his office at The Winchester Star, a family-owned daily whose publisher is his younger son, Thomas T. Byrd. The senator said he would leave the operation of the Star to his son, but that he would play a greater role with other newspapers the Byrd family owns. "I’ll probably spend more time than I’ve been able to in the past with some of the other papers,” he said. Late last year, Byrd announced that he would not run again for the seat to which he was appointed in 1965. He took over then for his father, Harry F. Byrd Sr., who had held the seat since 1933. When Paul S. Trible Jr. is sworn in Jan. 3, it will mean the end of a halfcentury of Byrd reign in the Senate. Byrd said he has mixed emotions about leaving. “After 35 years of public life, I felt it was time for a change,” he said. “But I’m sure that for awhile, at least. I’ll miss it.” ‘‘I’ll miss the many friendships I’ve made in the Senate, and I’ll miss some of the opportunities I’ve had to attempt to advocate programs and policies that were in line with my own personal convictions.” "But there are a lot of things I won't miss about it,” he added. “I won’t miss what 1 consider to be too much blind political partisanship in the Congress. Too many members of both the House and Senate, 1 feel, tend to judge matters as to whether it'll help or hurt one particular political party.” “I think the issues that we are involved with here transcend either political party,” said Byrd, who was elected in 1966 as a Democrat and reelected iri 1970 and 1976 as an Independent. In May, a group of conservatives, led by former Gov. Mills Godwin and former state Del. Roy Smith, began a petition drive to put Byrd on ballot. But the senator, although appreciative of the support, said he would not reconsider. The senator did say, though, that he would maintain contact with the group. “I’ll be keeping very close touch with them, and we very well may be working together on campaigns or issues," he said. Byrd appeared to be in good spirits last Thursday. Amid a hectic schedule of votes and interviews, the senator took time to attend his office’s Christmas party, during which he posed with various staffers and friends for photographs. Although the atmosphere was festive in his office, it was much less so in the Senate, where conservatives were filibustering against a proposed five-cent-a-gallon increase in the federal gasoline tax—delaying not only that, but consideration of a continuing budget resolution to keep the government running. Byrd, both in the interview and in his December report to Virginians, said he is disappointed with Congress’ inability to cut federal spending. And, in his report, he even had some criticism of President Reagan. “As an independent, I have given President Reagan strong support,” Byrd wrote. “But I do believe that last year he made two policy errors: reducing taxes too much considering that spending has not been correspondingly curtailed; and giving the Pentagon the impression that he supported a blank check for military spending.” “Although defense must be a top priority, and did need rebuilding in the wake of neglect in prior years, the Administration has sought to accelerate military spending to a greater degree than is warranted considering the state of our economy,” he wrote. During the interview, Byrd said that “overall, he's (Reagan’s) doing a good job.” But he was quick to add that overall backing "doesn't mean that I agree with everything that he has done or is doing.” Byrd said he could not comment on statements, made by Sen. Robert Dole (R-Kan.), that the President has not consulted enough with the Senate Republican leadership. Byrd said he himself has found Reagan to be “accessible.” “I've talked with him frequently,” Byrd said. "He telephones me w,ith some frequency. So I’ve had no problem in that regard. As a matter of fact, he’s probably as accessible, if not more so, than most presidents." Byrd’s biggest disappointment, however, remains the failure of Congress to significantly reduce the growth of federal spending. Spending has not been decreased under Reagan, Byrd said. Rather, the rate of increase has been cut—but not by much, he contends. “I think we need to reduce THE SHAPE-NOTE SINGERS’ rendition of an old Appalachian hymn was one of the highlights of last Wednesday’s Rappahannock Christmas Festival. Agriculture And Consumer Board Meets In Warrenton The Board of Agriculture and Consumer Services at its meeting in Warrenton, December 15 and 16 approved certain amendments to the state’s Brucellosis and Tuberculosis Eradication Programs that will bring them in line with their respective national programs. The regulation also established health requirements for certain other animals, poultry, psittacine birds in addition to livestock entering Virginia. The Board supported the actions of a committee of local concerned citizens in Southwest Virginia to seek state-enabling legislation to permit localities, at their option, to declare multiflora rose as a noxious weed and to provide for state cost sharing Mirtweid and PuMy UwurM Modem Equipment Ca« radar fat fraa EMmmw (Itti Kastynufe fcmta Bntea Vtdritog Fltnl Mill, W*. 675-36*5 675-380* . BAT ... B1T1,.,, with localities in pilot control programs. Multiflora rose, a shurb introduced into the U.S. in the 1930’s from Japan, is a serious problem in pastures and other unplowed lands in Southwest Virginia. In some counties, large acreages of pasture land have been seriously infested by this plant, which in turn reduced desirable grazing lands needed in cattle production, a major industry in Southwest Virginia. The Board received a request to amend the Weights and Measures Regulation to allow the sale of 18 ounce sizes of yogurt. The Board authorized the Department to draft a proposal for consideration at its next meeting. Amendments to the Charitable Solicitations law were proposed for submission to the General Assembly that would set fees to cover all costs of administering the law. The Board authorized the Department to accept a demonstration facility for converging animal waste to Methane at otter Run Farm near Bedford for a one year period and the paying of one dollar. Research from the farm would provide in formation on costs, yields of gas, returns from selling electricity to power companies and information on maintenance and repairs. A final action of the Board was the concurrence of the drugs and drug equipment approved by the State Veterinarian to be used by local dog wardens and other officers in the capturing of dogs. ++++ The first hour of the morning is the rudder of the day. —H W.

In his report this month, Byrd wrote, ‘‘Simply put. Congress is totally without discipline when it comes to spending the money taken from the pockets of the hardworking men and women of our nation.” Byrd’s image as a fiscal conservative is enhanced by the numerous plaques that line the walls of his office. The Virginia State Chamber of Commerce, for example, cited him for his “support of policies of fiscal integrity” at a time “when others have succumbed to the call for unsound demands on the public purse.” In a picture frame, a one dollar bill is displayed with the saying, ‘‘Every dollar spent by this government comes from the pocket of a working American. Our challenge is to act as if it were our own.” Byrd, a man of few words who speaks cautiously and lets others read between the lines, says Trible is a “very attractive, articulate person and I think he will do a good job.” -AmeriGas-, SHENGAS DIVISION 327 No Royal Ave Front Royal, Va 635-3556 L P.

Although the senator never formally endorsed Trible, he made it clear, in his own subtle ways, that he preferred Trible, a Republican, to Democrat Richard J. Davis. Would the senator be encouraging his sons to enter politics? “I think my older son (Harry F. Byrd III) is not interested” in running for political office, Byrd said. He added that his son, Thomas, has been involved in political campaigns and is “a very able, hard working, dedicated guy and the type of person who should be encouraged to go into public life. But having said that, as a father, I would not encourage it.
