He noted that six years ago, he worked with local coordinator Jennings Hobson on a plan for peacetime natural disasters, this time around, . Kidder will work with Hobson or his replacement on a wartime disaster plan that calls for putting up 6,000 to 9,000 evacuees in the county’s schools, churches and firehalls. Fire and rescue workers, law enforcement officials, school authorities and welfare workers will be briefed on the plan once it is completed, Kidder added. The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s scheme to relocate city dialers to rural areas prior to a nuclear strike is predicated on having three to seven days warning of an attack. “It requires very sophisticated intelligence,” Kidder noted. He acknowledged that the evacuation proposal “is not a popular plan...It’s not been well received in other counties.” Kidder told the Rappahannock board that he’d been asked “right off the bat” by supervisors in another locality if they could reject their evacuation plan. Technically, that’s possible, he said, “but it’s like asking if you can reject selective service or the draft. It’s national policy. It’s the only civil defense policy the country has at this time. But the chances that it will ever be implemented are hopefully remote.” No Federal Aid <' Supervisor Charles Estes asked if money is available for upgrading Rappahannock’s public buildings into emergency shelters for the 9,000 people. “There should be but there' isn’t,” Kidder replied, adding that federal funds will be supplied only after a nuclear attack has occurred. According to the emergency planner, post-strike federal aid may be provided for “crisis upgrading” which essentially means piling dirt on top of and around existing buildings. . “Any kind of pLupis better than the chaotic^-situation we’d have with no plan,” said supervisor chairman-^J.R. Latham. “6,000 to 9,000 is better than 25,000 to 30,000.” A crisis relocation plan for , Rappahannock “puts in writing” that the county is expected to accept 9,000 and Warren 20,000 rather than vice-versa, Kidder said. He added that State Police will be responsible for directing (Continued on Page 3) Stolen Goods Recovered From River A truckload of lawn ornaments stolen from the kway Gift Shop in rryville was recovered by the Culpeper County Sheriffs department from the Rapidan River just off Route 522 in Orange County. Working with the Culpeper unit was retired U.S. Navy diver Jim Holt who is a deputy for the Sheriffs department there. Holt dove into the freezing water to retrieve the ornaments from the river, and also made a second underwater excursion in a Reva farm pond to find the remaining stolen goods. The large cement lawn decorations were stolen on December 18 from the Rappahannock business and intended by the thieves for Christmas presents. In addition to the ornaments. Holt dragged up several horse heads, a brown-painted deer, and a black cat. Rappahannock Sheriff W. A. Buntin confirmed that charges of grand larceny in connection with the theft were made against John B. Singleton of Culpeper and Tony E. Clatterbuck of Radiant, as well as a 16-yearold Reva youth. The men led officers to the watery sites where they had unloaded the stolen goods. The retrieval effort recovered more than twenty of the large ornaments. Arson Ruled Out Arson has been ruled out as the cause of the fire that burned Chipnionk Hollow gift store on Tuesday, December 21. Investigation of the fire was requested by the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department, one of three companies that responded to the early morning call, according to James H. Jessup, supervisor of the State Police’s arson unit in Culpeper. Jessup reported that he and agent Roger Broadbent both looked at the fire site on Route 211 west of Sperryville before ruling out incendiary origin. “We’re now conducting a salvage examination to determine exactly how the fire began,” Jessup said. “We’re trying to reconstruct the lot to see what was there and what could have started the fire.” Politics On TV ^ Delegate Raymond R. “Andy” Guest-and State Senator Nathan Miller, Rappahannock’s representatives in the General Assembly, will be among the featured guests tonight, Thursday, January 6, on public television’s Virginia Legislative Preview.

It is hoped that Dr. Young’s efforts will help reduce the trash collection point. at the Supervisors Approve $5,000 For Dispatch After an initial balk, the Rappahannock supervisors dug down into county coffers Monday to find $5,000 they had previously agreed to provide as the local share of costs for the new police and emergency services dispatch center’s communications equipment. Supervisor Hubert Gilkey requested that $5,000 be turned over to the Rappahannock Fire and Rescue Association, recalling that the supervisors had authorized an $8,000 allocation as the local share of an 80 percent - 20 percent hardship grant awarded by the Virginia Rescue Squad Assistance Fund for communications equipment. The funds were included in the 1981-82,, budget but weren’t spent that year and the $8,000 isn’t shown as a line item in the current budget, he noted. Therefore, a resolution approving the transfer of $5,000 to the Fire and Rescue Association is necessary, Gilkey explained. “It was put in last year’s budget as a contingency only,” countered Supervisor J. R. Latham. Gilkey replied by reading from the June 8, 1981, board minutes a motion he introduced and Latham seconded, unanimously approving the $8,000 appropriation. “1 recall the situation,” added Supervisor Charles Estes. “We are obligated to meet that matching share.” “Where are we going to get the money from?” Latham asked. “If you make a motion to put this money up, you should know where it’s coming from.” Estes suggested that the $5,000 be drawn from last year’s surplus. “But we’ve been dipping into that contingency fund to take care of the Equalization Board since July,” Latham responded. Before specifying the source of the money, the supervisors voted, 3-0, to approve the $5,000 allocation. (Supervisor Clarence Baldwin was unable * to attend Monday’s meeting due to illness; Latham was silent on the vote.) “Now where are we going to get the money?” the supervisor chairman repeated. “We’ve already committed ourselves. There’s no hedging. We’ve got to find the money anywhere we can,” said Estes. By consensus, the board agreed with Supervisor H. B. Wood’s suggestion to use unexpended funds guaranteed for engineering work on the final design of Sperryville’s sewer system. (Last June, the supervisors okayed a loan of up to $105,000 to the county’s Water and Sewer Authority. That amount was included in the 1982-83 budget; to date, approximately $20,000 has been spent.) Estes, who district includes the village of Sperryville, emphasized that no additional county funds will be expended on the sewer project unless and until a community development block grant is awarded in August. After receiving widely disparate estimates of $465 and $1,595 for repairs to the commissioner of revenue’s (Continued from Page 3) No Money In Slate Budget For Jail Renovation By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Nrwa Staff Writer pahannock’s jail renovation continue to spiral upward, topping $141,000 after a meeting last week with State Department of Corrections officials, according to Supervisor Hubert Gilkey. At the same time, money that the supervisors were expecting in reimbursement for half the renovation cost has been cut from the State Department of Corrections’ budget. Gilkey cautioned his fellow supervisors at Monday’s board meeting that Department of Corrections representatives think figures for the renovation work are low, based on their estimates reported that architectural plans for upgrading the county’s 24-hour lock-up to meet state standards for jails must also be sent to Richmond one more time for final approval. A sprinkler system is still at issue, he said. Since the only combustible materials in the cells 'w^ll be mattresses and inmates’ clothes, the Department of Corrections ruled that sprinklersscan be omitted from the cllf blocks if a hose is installed and if the deletion is okayed by the county building inspector, Gilkey said. With sprinklers situated so that water spray can reach the cells, inmates will also be able to reach the sprinklers and could remove the heads or put a match under them to activate the emergency system, he noted. In addition, Gilkey maintained that installation of a sprinkler system in the jail would adversely affect the town of Washington’s water supply. Projections on renovation cost started at $150,000 last March, dropped to $65,000 in July and then climbed up to $115,000 in November. The announcement from Gilkey that the estimate now Estimates on Rapof $78 per square stands at $141,000 was only the first piece of bad news on Monday. Budget Cut The supervisors had counted on money for jail renovation under legislation which makes such projects eligible for state reimbursement for half the costs up to $100,000. The Department of Corrections had included funds for Rappahannock's reimbursement in a budget addendum forwarded last month to the Secretary of Public Safety. After the board of supervisors’ meeting on Monday, the Rappahanno^i, New» contacted Delegate Raymond R. "Andy” Guest for information on the status of that budget addendum. The allocation for reimbursement had to clear the Secretary of Public Safety’s office, the Governor’s office and the General Assembly before Rappahannock could count on getting the money. It didn't make it past the first check point. On Monday afternoon,Guest reported that the Secretary of Public Safety, acting at the Governor’s direction, had eliminated money for jail renovation, construction and expansion from the Department of Correction's request for supplemental funds. A call to the Department’s public affairs office in Richmond was unsuccessful in gaining any additional information. While the Governor’s office didn’t specifically direct that reimbursement for jail improvements J?e omitted from budget amendments to be considered in the upcoming short session of the General Assembly, funding priorities specified by that office didn’t include jail renovation. Guest said. He reported that top priority was given to care of prisoners for the month of "V--. June. 1982. Funds for that purpose were inadvertantly omitted when the state switched to the new block grant payment program last year. Guest said. Second priority went to reimbursement to localities for care of state prisoners, he continued. Guest also noted that extra money is needed to cover personnel costs at the new medium security prisons in Brunswick and Buckingham. Uphill Fight Despite the cut -in the Department of Corrections budget, it may still be possible for Rappahannock to get financial assistance for upgrading local jail facilities. Guest has pledged to introduce a bill in this year's General Assembly to restorefunds for reimbursement of jail renovation expenses. But passage will be an uphill fight, he acknowledged. The measure will first have to make it out of the Appropriations Committee on which the representatives closest geographically to Rappahannock are A1 Smith of Winchester and Earl Dickenson of Louisa, Guest noted. (Both are Democrats as are approximately twothirds of the Delegates and Senators in the General Assembly, Virginia's Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General. Guest and Nathan Miller, the county’s representative in the State Senate, are Republicans.) Prisoners Scattered Since the jail crisis began last March with Fauquier County’s announcement that it would no longer accept Rappahannock prisoners. Sheriff W. A. Buntin has been forced to scour the area for cell space. At present, the county has one prisoner in Warren County, one in Culpeper, one in Woodstock and two in Fauquier. Convicted robber. Tracy Franklin was given a five year sentence with tour years suspended. He began serving time in Fauquier on November 8 and was scheduled to go on work release but acceptable program couldn't be arranged, Buntin reported. Franklin has cerebral palsy and is being kept in isolation, the sheriff said. This week, Fauquier officials announced they could no longer spare the space. "Now we have to move Franklin ijnd I don’t know where he’s going to go. We can’t really ask another jail to take him when one jail has already turned him out," Buntin said. Stuart's court appointed attorney Lee Albrecht is meeting this week with Judge Shore Robertson .lo try to find a solution, the /meriff added. "I don’t know^what we're going to do (with Stuart und other local prisoners). But we have to do something,” Buntin concluded. Under Virginia law, 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 specified by the Department of Corrections. The supervisors adopted a 1982-83 budget that doesn’t include a line item for jail renovation. They planned to dip into the county surplus—then projected to be $200,000 at the close of the fiscal yean—to pay for the renovation project. And they anticipated that half the costs (somewhere between $32,500 and $75,000, depending on which estimate is used) would be reimbursed by the state. Notified on Monday by Guest that reimbursement was no longer a part of the proposed state budget. Supervisor Chairman J. R. Latham took a grim view of the financial picture: "I don’t think we cttsi handle it without help.’ Lester Convicted Of Reckless Driving In Fatal Accident Ray Calvin Lester, the tractor-trailer driver who plowed into the rear of a car near Woodville, killing one eight-year-old child and injuring three other passengers in a June 25 accident, was convicted of reckless driving in General District Court Tuesday. Lester was, charged with involuntary manslaughter in the accident which resulted in the death of Patricia Ann Brown, daughter of Richard and Shirley Ann Pullen Brown. The child was in a 1981 Ford Escort driven by Lillian Ora Sykes of Washington who was bringing her and her brother Janies, and another child home from summer Bible School. General District Court Judge John Alexander, presiding at the preliminary hearing, declined to send the case to the grand jury. The reckless driving charge brought Lester a fine of $100, with $20 costs and his license suspended for 30 days. Other Cases Heard January 4: Thomas Robert Curtis, Speeding 69-55, fine $28-$20 costs.

(Continued from Page 3) First Hopefuls Jump On 1983 Sheriffs Bandwagon Mark Earley Wittl The first hats have been tossed into the ring for November’s general elections. Mark Wittl, former deputy with the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department, and John Walker Jenkins, 11year veteran of law enforcement, announced their candidacies for sheriff this week. “As a former deputy sheriff, I have been enthusiastically urged by a large number of county residents to seek the office,” Wittl said. "Currently, I’m completing degree requirements at the University of South Carolina so that I can provide the maximum effective leadership in law enforcement that our citizens demand and deserve.” Wittl, a 30 year old native^ of Colorado, is a graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University with a bachelor’s decree and majors in mass c oni m unications and photography. He managed a commercial photographic business in Richmond until a visit with his sister, a teacher at the county’s elementary school, inspired his coming to Rappahannock. He was a substitute teacher at both the elementary and high schools before taking the job as deputy in 1981. Last August, Wittl resigned from the sheriffs department and moved to South Carolina following his marriage to Mary Olmstead, captain in the U.S. Air Force who is stationed at Fort Sumter.

Old-Fashioned Switchboard Served Rappahannock Callers By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock Staff Writer For thirteen years, from January, 1936 until dial phones were installed in 1949, Mrs. Alfred Miller Verner and her daughters Phyllis and Mary operated a switchboard from their home in Washington, providing 24hour service for^^hdents of Washington, Sperryville and Flint Hill and connecting to Front Royal and Culpeper. “In fact,” Phyllis Verner said, “we could call anywhere in the world through the phone office in Front Royal.” Callers would crank their old-fashioned phones, causing a light to blink on the Verner switchboard. One of the operators would connect them. “No-one bothered with their number, although they all had one,” Phyllis said. “They’d just ask for people by name and we’d connect them.” The Verners supplied other services to area phone users. If someone wasn’t at home, then the women tracked the missing person down. Phyllis Verner was known as a special friend to young romance. “One boy had a crush on a girl, but was too shy to ask her out,” Phyllis said. “He asked me if I would ring her up and ask her if she’d gp out with him. So I did, and she did, and they got married eventually.” Phyllis remembered another boy who waited until the very last minute to get dates for social events. "This was Jack DeBergh,” Phyllis said. “He used to stay on the phone while I dialed every girl from A to Z.” The Verners usually knew where everyone was, not only because they placed calls from various places in town but because people would ring up and tell them so that their calls could b^trans. ferred. It was an accepted fact of small-town life that the switchboard operators knew everything that was going on. “When there was a bridge club meeting, sometimes the hostess would call and ask us who was coming,” Mrs. Verner said. A round-the-clock phone service meant that someone had to, be minding the switchboard at all times. “Usually I slept on a cot in the room,” Phyllis said. “We didn’t have too many night calls, but we had to be available if someone needed the doctor or the sheriff. And of course, the farm people started calling at 4:00 a.m.” It made sense for the fire siren to be right at the home of the switchboard operators. “At one time we rang it every day at noon,” Mrs. Verner said. “This was to test it. But if only one of us was there and couldn’t ring it right at noon, we'd be late and it would confuse people. So we stopped testing the siren.” After the siren rang and the firemen'were dispatehed to a house fire, there would be a flurry of calls to the women asking them where the fire was and how much damage was done. The switchboard accompanied the Verner family as they moved several times within the town. It was originally at the James Leake Powers house, operated by Daisy Fox Partlow and her assistant Lottie Burton.

STOKES _ CHAIRMAN the operation relocated with the Verners to the Stone Street House. Lottie Burton stayed on to help the family After about six yWtrs the switchboard moved again - this time to the Dudley house next to the old Merrill’s Garage. Another move brought the local phone company to the Bywaters house on Middle Street. During all the years of operating the switchboard and the many moves, Alice Verner held different jobs around town. At one time she worked at the treasurer’s office and also for the rationing board during World War II. Born Alice Coates in Harris Hollow in 1898, she finished school in Sperryville and left Rappahannock for Richmond, where she attended Richmond Business College and went to work for a wholesale liquor house there. When Prohibition put an end to this line of work, she moved to Baltimore, worked there for the young phone company anjd transferred to West Virginia. There she met Alfred Miller Verner, a civil engineer. The Depression brought them back to Rappahannock to her family, farming now at the Coates homeplace in the F.T. Valley. When Mrs. Verner went to work, daughters Mary and Phyllis pitched in at the switchboard. Sometimes they had a little “help” from their younger sister, who sat on her father’s lap to reach the phone. Phyllis also had another job, working for a while for the Rappahannock News and then for the Culpeper paper. “I’d just listen in on what was going on, then call the people and ask if I could put it in the paper,” Phyllis said. “Why, she listened in so much that we were always afraid * she’d get us in trouble,” Mrs. Verner said, “but I guess everyone always expected that we’d hear whatever went on in town.” learn. ‘‘We had to be a real bureau of information,” Phyllis added. “The sheriff had to call us to find out who was where - everyone called us to hear what was happening.” The ladies also would continue trying to reach numbers that didn’t answer at first telling them who had wanted to talk to them while they were gone. The switchboard was also a center of information for outof-town visitors. The only pay phone in town was in the Verner home. "People came in for all kinds of reasons,” Phyllis said. “Senator James Eastland once came in because he needed a private place to change his clothes.” Also visiting the family was Bing Crosby’s brother, passing through town on his way to Front Royal. As the Depression faded and the war started, more and more people hooked up to the Washington phone system. “Soldiers on leave always had us cover for them,” Mrs. Verner said. “They were supposed to stay near a phonC~''but if they wanted to go out, they’d tell us where they were.” Time passed, and the towns of Sperryville and Flint Hill got dial phones. “That made it more complicated for us,” Phyllis said. “We’d get a call for either place and we’d have to dial the number, rather than just plugging in.” The dial phone equipment was housed in the brick building on Gay Street, an old outbuilding for AvotvHatt-v later given to the Histo/u?al Society. Eventu aTl y, Washington folks got dial phones, too, and the switchboard was moved out on August 9, 1949. After that, Phyllis worked for 25 years for a doctor in Fairfax, but she said that nothing could compare to the days of the Washington switchboard. “It was confining, but it was sudn gobd company,” she said. “The day. th^t they moved it out, I felt just like it was the day pf a funeral.” , People in the News, 1982 June County artist Rex Slack opened an exhibit, Rural Images at the Middle Street Gallery in Washington.

There was a dog vaccination clinic in Rappahannock as part of an effort by dog warden Jack Bruce to combat rabies in the area. T. C. Lea declined the position as head of Primavera rehabilitation center in Rixeyville because of health reasons. The Madison, Culpeper and Rappahannock 4-H goat club had its first meeting in the home of Linda Holt near Amissville. Winter came in with an icy blast the second week of January, with temperatures falling to zero in Rappahannock. Angry landowners packed the Board of Supervisior’s January meeting, protesting illegal hunting on their land. The Board of Zoning Appeals elected Lee Bird chairman, George Muth vicechairman and Jimmy Swindler as representative to the planning commission. The Equalization Board started a series of meetings to review the new assessments on county property.

Estate REALTY WORLD - &l(ten dl. realtor Job Changes Major Reason For Home Sales Job changes, including transfers and voluntary relocations that generally involve new jobs, are the principal reason why people buy and sell homes. This was the conclusion reached by a large Chicago real estate firm. Of the company’s 4,070 residential transactions in 1975 (involving 4,070 buyers and 4,070 sellers) 47 percent of sellers and 44.61 percent of buyers cited transfers and voluntary relocations as their reasons for moving. The total of those giving job changes as their reason was down slightly from 1974. That year 51.5 percent of sellers cited job changes, while 50.7 percent of buyers gave the same reason. The second most important . reason why families buy is to upgrade their living environment: 14.7 percent of the families surveyed gave that as their reason for moving. This was followed by first home purchase (14.5 percent), moving from a rental apartment (8.1 percent), investment (6.5 percent) and miscellaneous (5.5 . percent). In essence, ihe key to home sales today lies in keeping a close eye on the job relocation market. That’s why it makes sense to sell through a Realtor.

Rappahannock’s supervisors endorsed a resolution from Accomack County in favor of statewide enabling legislation for a transient occupancy tax on meals and lodging in hotels, motels and boarding houses. The tax is currently allowed in Fairfax. Loudoun and four othtr counties. “If six have it, the rest should have the same right,” stated Estes. “I agree.” added Wood. "I can't imagine the General Assembly giving that power to only six counties.” Along with a request to Rappahannock's legislative representatives to support enabling legislation for the transient occupancy tax will go a request to oppose a change in the method of electing boards of supervisors. Washingtojv-’CountVs board solicited the assistants in fighting a proposal to have supervisors elected on an atlarge basis by all the voters in a county. EMT Requirement The board tabled action on a resolution from Charlotte County calling for local government—and not the state—to set restrictions, if any. on membership in rescue squads. Charlotte County’s resolution also specifies that membership qualifications should in no w^y affect state funding fot rescue squads. Gilkcv reported that new state regulations which ta|e effect in March. I9fp. require "at least one EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) on the squad in order to roll." While acknowledging problems that rescue squads have with staffing, Gilkey maintained that the training requirement will be beneficial to the people served by the squads. “We've got to be a little more advanced than basic first aid," he said. Wood agreed that it’s beneficial to have an EMT but maintained that if he had a medical emergency, he'd still want the rescue squad to respond to his call, even if an EMT wasn't available to ride with the ambulance. Latham inquired whether the absence of trained personnel would have an affect on a rescue squad’s insurance coverage. No one at • Monday's meeting had the answer and so at Estes’ suggestion, action • on Charlotte County's resolution was tabled until the issue of liability is settled and comment is secured from the county's Fire and Rescue Association. In other action, the board: —endorsed a proposal by the Federal Preservation Office to udd (he Compton . Gap Site of an old copper mine (located above Chester Gap in Shenandoah National Park) to the National Registry of Historic Places. — appointed Rufus Baines to the Rappahannock Recreation Authority and tublcd until next month appointments to fill two vacancies on the Chapter Ten Community Services Board, —set a joint meeting with the planning commission for January 19 to review proposed shooting range amendments to the county zoning ordinance, — agreed to advertise the chicken house located next to the jail for sale. 9,000 Evacuees (Continued from Page 1) evacuees to their destination. Under the relocation procedures set out in a Federal Emergency Management Agency report, evacuees will be asked to bring non-perishable food to the temporary rural shelters.

According to the report, the evacuation period could last from one to two weeks or even longer. The FEMA's report First Hopefuls (Continued from Page 1) forces on active duty, Witt! has maintained residency in Rappahannock, voting here by absentee ballot last year. He reported that if he is the winner in the sheriffs race, his wife will resign her Air Force commission and move with him back to Rappahannock. In the meantime, Wittl said he plans to do a lot of running Jl back and forth between Virginia and South Carolina until he finishes school in late May. “Then, from the end of school until the elections in November, I’ll be spending most of my time in Rappahannock,” Wittl said. Former Sheriff Wittl was the first candidate of the New Year for only a few hours before John Walker Jenkins joined him in the ring. Jenkins, 49, was a deputy for seven years before winning election as sheriff in 1972. He served until 1976 when he was defeated by incumbent sheriff,, W. A. Buntin. jr* In explaining his reasons for seeking the law enforcement post, Jenkins said that he feels he knows the people of Rappahannock and their activities and could put that knowledge to work as sheriff. Jenkins was born and raised in the county and has been self-employed in an auctioneering and sales business here for the past 25 years.

Charles Richard Meredith, Solar Credit Available As of Jan. 1,1983, Virginia residents and corporations can subtract a percentage of what they spend on an approved solar system from their state income tax, according to the State Office of Emergency and Energy Services (OEES). Virginia’s solar tax credit, passed last March by the General Assembly, is a declining credit that will be in effect from Jan. 1, 1983, "until Dec. 31, 1987. The Virginia Coal and Energy Commission will review, by Oct. 15, 1987, the impact of the solar tax credit on the state’s economy and determine if it has encouraged Virginians to increase their use of solar energy systems. Virginia’s solar tax credit allows for a 25 percent tax .. credit on the price of solar equipment purchased in 1983 and 1984, a 20 percent credit in 1985, 15 percent in 1986 iind 10 percent in 1987. The maximum credit which is allowed is SI,000. If the taxpayer’s credit is more than he owes in state income taxes during the year in which he bought the solar system, he may subtract the excess credit from next year’s tax liability.

With no plan, the report projects that only 20 percent would survive. The survival estimates climb to 90 percent if fallout shelters are constructed in densely populated areas but such a shelter system would cost $70 billion, according to the report. By unanimous vote, the county supervisors authorized Kidder to develop the crisis relocation plan for Rappahannock. .. “I don’t knftw if it would" be followed in a crisis but at least we’ll know what we’re supposed to do," said Supervisor Hubert Gilkev. “It's better to plan ahead, no matter what the situation," agreed Hobson. In another agenda item related to erisis planning, the bo atm tabled action on a replacement for Hobson as local emergency coordinator. Hobson told the supervisors last month that he wanted to resign from (he post but would continue until his successor is found. The appointment was to be made at the January meeting but after an executive session on Monday, LtiThant announced a delay until February.

Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, JANUARY/6, 1983 ■l T Trashy Business The recycling center at -the Washington Firehouse shqjuld be more than a means for the town’s volunteer fire department to make a few desperately needed dollars. Participation in'^recycling program ^\|iould signal a commitment to preserving this country’s rapidly dwindlmk resources. If doesn’t,^af^ast not wNNyiapers, books and magazines are dumped carelessly on the ground to be blown by wind across yards and fields and turned by rain into soggy masses of pulp. At our hastily scheduled clean-up project last Thursday, we found piles and piles of, trash, not paper for recycling. The big trailer stood almost empty, only the^di^nr filled to the hijlfeking point by stacks and boxes. Part of the blame belongs to the volunteer firemen who failed to provide steps for easy access to the new trailer. But most of the blame rests squarely on the shoulders of local people who wouldn’t make the effort to toss their bundles inside. What’s the sense of bringing materials in for recycling if they’re going to be turned into litter instead? We realize that a few of the litter droppers probably lacked the strength to heft a pile of newspapers through the trailer opening. But then they should have put the papers right back in their cars. The names and addreses on the newspapers aqd periodicals strewn around the site surprised us. They belonged to volunteer firemen, environmentalists and conservationists, upstanding citizens and community leaders. Respect for the privacy of individuals — no matter how undeserved in this case — prevents us from listing the names of people involved. We aon’t extend that same courtesy to organizations, however. By far the biggest abuser was the Rappahannock County Library. Trinity Church ran a close second, judging from the stacks of paperback hymnals dumped next to the trailer. The Rappahannock Medical Center also deserves a spot on the list of guilty parties. But everyone, groups and individuals alike, will have a chance to clean up their act. The Rappahannock News’ policing party was rushed to fit in between the holidays and beat the deadline for the removal of the almost empty trailer. Announced — except to the fire department — the day it was scheduled, it drew little participation. The only volunteers were Rappahannock News staffers, their kids and a couple of teenaged friends. We believe the lack of support for the clean-up project was due primarily to lack of advance notice and publicity. So we’ve scheduled a second one for Saturday, January 15, beginning at 9 a.m. We made a dent in the mess last week but there’s still plenty of trash to go around. The old trailer is full and n^eds its contents transferred to the new trailer. Piles of paper at the door of the new trailer must be pushed to the back and sides. Scraps blown along the fence line should be picked up. The job will be easier this time, thanks to the steps donated by Bill Young. We hope the community, particularly those who have abused the recycling center in the past, will show up on January 15. We’ll be there. We know who the litterbugs are and we’ll be watching for them. This Was The News In Bygone Rappahannock Times... 6 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS CONGRESSMAN J. Kenneth Robinson mailed a questionnaire to the 7th Congressional District households, asking for citizen views on matters likely to come up for action in the 95th Congress. Budget, tax, foreign policy, health insurance, and Social Security questions were among those included in the questionnaire. In a statement, Robinson noted: “Any questionnaire of reasonable length obviously cannot cover all of the issues with which Congress has been dealing, but I have included matters on which it would be particularly helpful to me to have a current indication of 7th District opinion.” The Farmer’s Home Administration began a program which guaranteed rural housing loans made by commercial banks, savings and loan associations, and other private lenders, announced M.L. Trew, Supervisor for Culpeper, Madison, Orange, Rappahannock, and ' Fauquier Counties. Loans were to buy, build, improve, repair or rehabilitate house and related facilities, and to provide adequate water and waste disposal systems. 9 YfiARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS Rappahannock citizens and Supervisors pondered flood plains, soil capabilities and non-conforming structures at the first of several “clarification” hearings on a new county zoning ordinance. John R. Debergh asked that the Planning Commission reconsider the formula for determining flood plains. A sizable portion of his farm along the Rush River is zoned in that category. “Nothing was handed down to me by my forbears of any flood problems and I’ve never had any myself,” Debergh said. The property has belonged to his familv for several generations. Mutt Atkins retired at the age of 65 after 44 years as a school bus driver in Rappahannock County.

From Both Barrels Bottle Bill Litter Lobby ByGKORCK BOVU.KS Virginia’s present litter control law is one of those genteel frauds perpetrated on the people of the Commonwealth by the special interest lobby whose purpose it serves. The special interest in this case is the beer and soft drink industry which might be fairly described as the litter lobby. ^ beverage nianurs and diss think the law is great. They should. fact ure triljmor After all, it is a creature of their own design, and their team of high-pressure lobbyists propelled it through the General Assembly to passage with little difficulty. The measure was enacted in 1976 and provided for the establishment of The Virginia Division of Litter Control the following year. The industry got behind the legislation because of mounting public outrage over the growing amount of roadsite trash. I he Division s approach (o solving (he litter problem is through public education. People are to be persuaded I by slogans, publicity, the distribution of litter bags and by similar means not to toss their empties out of their auto windows. The agency operates on a $1.2 million annual budget which comes mainly from the excise tax on beer and the gross product tax on soft drinks. All this is backed by the industry’s own program to reduce highway litter. Keep Virginia Beautiful, Inc. Both the Division of Litter Control and Keep Virginia Beautiful cite impressive statistics to prove that they have, indeed, reduced trash on the roads. Their statistics notwithstanding, the state Department of Highways and Transportation appears somewhat underwhelmed by their achievements. A spokesman told me recently that the cost to the taxpayers for Highway Department crews to keep the highways clean is about the same as it was before the Division was created. That cost is about $1.2 Now, the purpose here is not to assert that the Litter Control Law and Keep Virginias Beautiful have not had sonie positive impact on the highway litter problem. No doubt they have. in per year. •9*&The point is that the? beverage industry took these initiatives to shift from itself responsibility for cleaning up the mess it creates, and place it on the taxpayers and public spirited volunteers. The entire thrust of its lobbying effort has been to minimize the expense and inconvenience to beer and soft drink manufacturers and distributors. To this end, for a decade, they have bitterly resisted the one meaningful item of legislation * which would have virtually eliminated the main source of highway trash. That item is, Qtfie enactment of a returnable container bill for the state. A returnable container bill, commonly called a Bottle Bill, would require a deposit on all beer and soft drink bottles and cans. Such a measure will again be introduced in the' 1983 session of the General Assembly by Sen. Madison Marye, (D-Montgomery). Under Marye’s bill, a 10 cent deposit would be required on all beverage containers. The purchaser could recover his dime by returning the container. If he chooses to toss it out of his pick-up truck window, it would probably be quickly retrieved by ‘someone who would be only too happy to turn it in and get the dime. In any case, it would not remain on the highway for-long. The whole idea styulsthe ’ a beverage industry1 condition approaching apoplexy. They say it will increase the cost of the beverages, that it will do nothing to solve the paper and plastic litter problem, and will work a hardship on retailers. But seven states now have various versions of the bottle bill,-and contrary to the cries of the lobbyists that it is a failure, it is actually working well in all of them, and prices have remained reasonably stable. Even in Virginia, the Pepsi-Cola Co., to its credit, urges its customers to buy Pepsi in returnable bottles instead of throwaways as an energy-saving measure. To argue that the bill -v^hould be defeated because it will not solve all highway litter problems is, of course, foolishness. It’s like saying there is no point in getting a polio shot because there is still no cure for the common cold. i ne liner ioooy win, needless to say. again roll out its heavy artillery to fight Marye's bill. But the Montgomery senator will also have some powerful allies. The State Farm Bureau Federation supports the measure as does a statewide coalition called Virginians for Returnables. In the meantime Robert W. Slocum, commissioner of the Division of Litter Control, has hinted darkly that if the bill passes, the industry might withdraw its support of the present law and the tax program which sustains it. This is another bit of nonsense. There is nothing mutually exclusive about either the present public education approach to litter control or the proposed bottle bill. In fact they would complement each other perfectly. What is really needed, however, is a willingness on the part of the beer and soft drink industries to shoulder some of the responsibility for cleaniug up their owrn garbage. After all, they make the profit from it. If they really want to Keep Virginia Beautiful, they should be the first in line to support Sen. Marye’s excellent bill. —Rappahannock New* Photo/D.

Letters To The Editor Benefactors Appreciated lo the editor: What better way to begin the New Year is there than thanking benefactors of the recently past year, particularly as recently as last Friday, whra- a host of workers and givers made what all participants deemed a happy success of RAAC’s endeavor to usher in the first of January pleasantly. There were the lenders of properties, real and personal, preparers of delicious food, decorators, purchasers, donors of time, energy, and such a diverse selection of gifts as to paralize the pen, strong men, and lastly, bless them, the paying guests who gave generously of their approval yf these efforts in that special way that enables ah organization to go ahead with its plans and who felt there had been an eminently fair exchange. In short, it was a good party - one to remember and repeat. So we are eratefnl The Most Trusted Persons By eugene McCarthy Rappahannock Vv*» (.not (ioluinnist I was reminded by TIME Magazine’s announcement that for 1982, TIME would pick no person of the year, but rather The Computer as the most significant force in that year, that the time for picking the year’s outstanding persons, most admired, most trusted, most anything was upon us. Noting that GOOD HOUSEKEEPING had already published its list of most admired men and women of 1982, and that the Gallup Poll’s selection would soon be along, I decided to make a study to determine who in the estimation of the citizens and residents of Rappahannock County were most trusted at the end of the year 1982. In consultation with friends, the decision-was made to make a study that would be more scientific, more thorough, - more comprehensive, more free of possible prejudice, and socially more significant than that of Gallup, GOOD HOUSEKEEPING or others. Trust, we decided, was a much more important attribute, and quality, than admiration. We concluded further that general “trust” was too vague and that there were important areas or felationships calling for different kinds of degrees of trust. First we excluded politics, as a general category, but politicians were allowed in ,th^ competition in other categories. We also excluded doctors and lawyers on the principle that much of the basis of trust in them arises from the profession to which $j§py belong and which imposes its own standards of quality. Theoretically every doctor should be as trustworthy as every other doctor much as every beagle is expected to behave like every other beagle. Having made these exceptions we settled ten categories of human relationships or dependency in which trust is important: 1. Judgment in court. ( 2. Religious counsel and inspiration. 3. Communication of news, events, ideas. 4. Personal security as the ultimate element of national defense. 5. Protection and preservation of the environment, the world. ^ 6. Certainty about food, including consumer protection. 7. An assured, safe, and adequate supply of water and other liquids. 8. .Care of children, of the aged, the sick, or of cherished possessions, including one’s house. 9. The important matter of the automobile, purchase, operation, and repair. 10. Privacy, and confidence, in the care of one’s messages, gifts, and the like, when in transit. In each of these ten fields of testing, one Rappahannock resident was entered. In the first test categ&ry, the judicial one, the basic question asked was “Whom would you like to have as a judge if you were brought into court?” The easy winner was retired Judge Rayner Snead, who ran well ahead of other judges, including Chief Justice Warren Burger and Watergate Judge John Sirica. The poll showed that generally Judge Snead was first choice because of his record in settling inter-family feuds, approaching in intensity the Hatfield and McCoy relationship in some cases, and, beyond that of settling intra-family feuds, which can be even more serious. It was also recognized that he was masterful in settling ' /?' boundary disputes, evidently knowing that fences move in this county in strange ways, and also that George Washington Was less than perfect as a surveyor. There are some who hold that if (jeorge had surveyed the Mason-Dixon line the War between the States might never have occurred for lack of certainty as to which side of the line one lived on. The final testimony as to the trustworthiness of Judge Snead came from those who play tennis with him. They said tfiat he was fully reliable in making tennis calls even when the game was played on his own court; going beyond, these observers said, the accepted Rappahannock rules that allow the owner of the court to call the game, and even allows him or her to shade the calls slightly in his or her own favor. In the religious competition the winner was the Reverend Jennings Hobson of the Episcopal Church. Hobson ran well ahead of Pope John Paul, who led the list of most admired men in 1980 in the Gallup survey, and was second in that study in 1981. The number of Catholics in Rappahannock, it was noted by outside consultants who were asked to evaluate our study, is small. Rev. Hobson also ran well ahead of Billy Graham who was second in the Gallup findings in both 1980 and 1981. Hobson also outscored Oral Roberts, whom a few irreligious persons in the county thought was a basketball coach, and also Jerry Falwell of Lynchburg, Virginia. The significant test point that distinguished Jennings Hobson was, for some, the fact that he regularly blesses the hounds at the opening ^of the hunt season. In the third range of contest, it was Daphne Hutchinson against the likes of Dan Rather, Barbara Walters, and Janies Reston of the New York, TIMES, and Walter Cronkite, now retired, but included because a few years ago he was considered the most trusted man in America. Daphne was judged to be the complete communicator, who does her own reporting, her own editing, and who also takes pictures which accompany her writings. In response to the question “Of all of these persons, which would you want to write - your obituary?”, the choice of Daphne-was unanimous. The controlling questions in making choices in the 4th category, was “Whom would you like to have come into view, say, following a nuclear attack: the Secretary of Defense, in an Ml tank; The Commander in Chief of the Armed Services, Ronald Reagan in a helicopter; or Carrol Jenkins, of Sperryville, with a pick-up truck?” Here again the choice was unanimous for Carrol. The results of polling in the other six areas of trust are still being tabulated and evaluated, and will be submitted to a later edition of the Rappahannock News. ‘ exceedingly, to the following: Margery Albright, Louise Ashman, Jane Batchelder, Barbara Berman, Dolly Biddle, Diana Bird, Diane Bruce, Sandra and Norman Cartwright-Brown, Cate Chandler, Sam Clifton, Dotsie Davis, Eileen Day, Linda Dietel, Barbara Jolly, Truman P.

SAM AND WALDRON O’CONNOR Blood Donors Thanked To the editor: On behalf of the Fauquier Chapter of the American Red Cross, I extend my thanks and appreciation to the citizens of Fauquier and Rappahannock counties for their generous support of the chapter’s activities durine 1982. They contributed more blood, more than 1,000 units, and more money, nearly $17,000.00, than in many years. While the demands on the chapter’s resources exceeded both in blood and in money whqt it could supply, we undt^stand that the people of the two counties did the best they\ould. We are grateful. Thej»wk of the Fauquier Chapter, as is true of the Red Cross generally, is conducted mainly by volunteers, who give of their own time and money in astonishing amounts. They are encouraged and sustained in their efforts by such staunch support as rendered by the community in this past year. H. T. A. NEV1LL Chairman American Red Cross Bower Named District Highway Engineer William L Bower, 47, has been named Culpeper district engineer, succeeding Donald B.

Coach Pec Of The Plains — Redskins’ Linebacker Coach And Farjiily Enjoying Fauquier ByJ. MICHAFI HEAD Arundel Staff Writer The wife of a professional football coach—as well as her husband— has to live with the insecurity of a busted snap on fourth-and-goal, knowing she’s the one who’ll have to move family and belongings when the owner “seeks a new direction with the coaching staff.” A Even when it’s by choice and not chance, moving is an occupational hazard in the coaching game. ‘‘It’s all part of the business,” says Betsy Peccatiello, wife of Washington Redskins' linebacker coach Larry Peccatiello whose latest move has been to Fauquier County, near The Plains. “It’s hardest on the kids with making new friends and adjusting to different schools,” Mrs. Peccatiello said of children Teri, 22, Arnie, 21, Kathy, 19, and Marci, 18, who have cheered for their father’s teams in Williamsburg, Annapolis, Md., Tallahassee, Fla., Houston, Tex., Seattle, Wash, and now, Washington. “Coach Pec”, as the 47year-old former All-Southern Conference receiver at William and Mary is called, is in his 11th season in the National Football League, coming with the Redskins’ Joe Gibbs staff transfusion last season. Betsy remained in Seattle last year to let Marci finish high school and then loaded bag and baggage, four horses, two dogs and a cat, and coordinated the move to Redskins territory. “It was hard this time trying to fit all our furniture into a house about half the size of the one in Seattle,” said the personable, brown haired home manager who beamed about the Fauquier countryside once settled in. “It’s perfect. . . just what we need for the horses,” she said, talking about a sport she enjoys besides football. But football has been a major part of her life since meeting her husband while at William and Mary and she gets involved, even secondguessing the Skins’ play selection Monday night iri the dramatic victory over the Giants the preceding day. “That was the time for a quarterback draw. . . they needed Jim Zorn right then,” she declared, citing Washington’s aborted fourthand- inches fullback plunge in the second half. PfEe^relaxmg in their living roonVafter the win over the N JV Wins Thriller “My boys perked up in the second half and won the game for me,” Ya*d coach Valerie Gehring^r after the Rappahannock JV Panthers won a thriller at home by defeating the Clarke County Eagles 43-41, Tuesday night. In the opening quarter both teams countered the other’s attack and the scoreboard showed only 8-6 in favor of Rappahannock going into the second quarter. Poor shooting on the Panther’s part enabled the Eagles to build a 22-15 lead at the half. The Panthers continued to play lackluster ball for most of the third quarter until a mini-rally headed by Rob Brown and Thomas Rector helped Rapp to pull to within five 29-34, at the end of the third quarter. ^ Then a hyped-up Panther squad found reason to push harder after an injured Rob Brown fell to the floor. Tommy Jenkins hit a soft jumper for two of his game* high 20 points and gave RCHS its first lead, 35-34, since the first quarter. The Eagles continued to make good plays, however, and recaptured a quick 40-35 advantage. It wasn’t until Jenkins, with 49 seconds left on the clock , made a layup that Rapp got the lead back, 41-40. Clarke later stepped up to the foul line to shoot two free throws but connected on only one to tie the score at 46 all. Brown clinched the win when he connected on a free throw from the charity strip to give his team a 42-41 lead, missed on the first shot of a one-and-one, H.B. Wood sealed the victory with a final free throw to make it 43-41. Watch For Signs Of Reye*s Syndrome The Reye's Syndrome Foundation of Bryan, Ohio, has issued a bulletin which in turn has been sent to parents of Rappahannock County school children. The warning is appropriate now since flu and chicken pox are widespread. Reye’s Syndrome affects children from infancy through age 19. When a child is recovering from a viral infection, especially the flu, chicken pox, or an upper respiratory infection, and the following symptoms are observed, they should be treated as serious, and as possibly the first indication of Reye’s Syndrome: —Persistent or continuous vomiting —Listlessness (loss of pep and energy, drowsiness) —Personality change (such as irritability and combativeness) —Disorientation (unable to identify whereabouts or family members) —Delirium, convulsions Reye’s Syndrome affects the liver and the brain. It is noncontagious and it is often misdiagnosed as encephalitis, meningitis, diabetes, poisoning, mental illness or even drug abuse. A child’s life can depend on early diagnosis. Phone your physician immediately if any of the symptoms develop and tell him that you suspect Reye’s Syndrome. Anti-nausea or fever reducing medication may mask the symptoms of Reye’s Syndrome and are still under suspicion; therefore, your physician may wish to avoid them. Two liver function tests can be done to indicate the possibility of Reye’s Syndrome. There is a 90 percent chance of recovery when it is treated in its earliest stages by physicians and nurses experienced in the treatment of the disease.

Panthers Bomb Clarke By joe McCullough Rappahannock Sports Writer The Rappahannock Country Varsity Panthers extended their record to 6-3 overall and 2-1 in Bull Run District play Tuesday night with an easy 77-55 victory over the Clarke (iounty Eagles. “Tonight we played a lot like we did earlier against Brentsville (75-57) except we looked sharper on all phases of the game,” coach Doyle Dawson reported. Clarence “Perkins” Pendleton quickly put the Panthers on the right track by stealing an Eagle pass and going the length of the court for the game’s first points. Then center Mike Leake rejected an Eagle shot and Jeff Porter saved the ball from going out of bounds. He passed to Pendleton and the junior forward built a fire under the Panthers with a jam that gave RCHS a 4-0 lead. Coach Dawson explained that he can rely on Pendleton to provide the team with a boost. “He always has a great first half (ten points against Clarice) and he is getting better with each game,’’ Dawson said. The Panthers continued to dominate Clarke and led, 1710, at the end of the first quarter. They built the advantage to 45-30 at halftime, riding a footing streak (20 of 34), 18 assists and ten points from point guard Robert Myers. The Panthers kept up the super ball in the final period, stretching the margin to 6340. The home team had its biggest cushion, a fat 30 points at 73-43 with four minutes left on the clock, before coach Dawson cleared the bench and allowed Clarke to make it a more respectible 22 point deficit. The Panthers posted high marks against the Eagles: they commited a season-low 13 turnovers, connected on a season high 48 percent of Soccer Coaching Course Set A two-day course leading to the beginning state license for coaching soccer will be held Jan. 28-29 at the Manassas Campus of Northern Virginia Community College.

Doyle Dunn had his }>est night on the boards with six rebounds, followed by Leake with eight and Tom Sisk with five. Myers also turned in his finest performance of the year, hitting nine of ten shots for a game high 18 points and accounting for 8 assists. Coach Dawson looked more than pleased when the buzzer sounded. He complimented Doyle Dunn and sustitutes Ken Estes, Pops Aylor and Mike DelGrosso for their superior defensive efforts. According to Dawson, the Panthers played three quarters of dynamite defense and offense. He described the final period as a little ragged but attributed the cause to a 30 point lead. Defensive pressure by the Panthers in the first three quarters held the Eagles to 19 of 52 shots (36 percent) and sjmtdown the Clarke’s scoring ace;—Pcfky Moss, allowing him only ten points. -lAmeriGas-, SHENGAS DIVISION 327 No Royal Ave Front Royal, Va 635-3556 L P Gas distributor serving a four county area Propane gas for full house use: heating, water heating and cooking Hardwick Ranges Muud water Heaters Space Heaters TF The Panthers travel to Strasburg on Friday to take on the Rams.

The Redskins’ linebackers can benefit from Peccaliello’s knowledge because it is gleaned from hours of film study and blackboard work with Gibbs and the defensive staff including Richie Petitbon, defensive corrdinator, LaVern>V’Torgy” Torgeson, defensive line coach, and Bill Hickman, in charge of defensive scouting reports. Peccaliello’s work week includes an 8 a.m. start Monday at Redskins Park in Chantilly, reviewing Sunday’s game films which will be broken down and graded for showing to the team Monday afternoon. The team goes through a brief loosening up workout Monday after the film study and the coaches begin devising a game plan for the next week’s opponent Monday night until usually 9 p.nt. I uesday (he players arc off, but Peccaliello works an 8 a.m.-lO p.m. day, breaking down (he next opponent’s offense, charting tendencies and personnel structure. Wednesday, the players get the scouting report in team meetings from 10 a.nt.-noon, practice for about two hours and are off depending on weight training requirements directed by Redskins’ strength coach Dan Riley on nautilaus equipment at the fiark. The staff puts in another late night Wednesday on the next Sunday's game and works until usually 9 p.m. Thursday beginning on the following week’s opponent. Friday, after team meetings and practice, everyone is off until Saturday when the leant travels to its opponent’s city or stays together at a Washingtonarea motel preparing for game day. Peccatiello's analytical skills are utili/.ed on game day working in the booth above the press box, keeping* Gibbs and the coaches on the sidelines aware ut'/rstrategy and game plan structure. Peccatiello has been an assistant couch his entire eurecr. unlike some coaches who have been head coaches on the collegiate level before entering the professional ranks. He worked as defensive coordinator with Jack Patera's Seattle Scahawks before coming to Washington and understands the role of the subordinate in the everincreasing complexity of profess io n a I t oo (ball coaching. A head coaching position is Peccatiello's goal, he said, but attaining it will be a mailer of good fortune and hard work. "Well, it's an ambition like everybody ofse has their goals," Pcplaiicllo said, “but you jus^o day by day and do the best job you caii at what you’re doing." "Sure, 1 want to be a head coach, but wanting to be . . . how do you go about doing it?” Peccatiello asked rhetorically. "You want to be a millionaire, how do you do it? You just work hard at what you're doing and good things happen," he said. While he’s waiting patiently for the good thing to happen to him, Pec continues to help prepare the Redskins for the playoffs which they will host because of their victory over New Orleans and Philadelphia’s upset of Dallas last weekend. When he's not wrapped up with coaching responsibilities and making sure his family's happy, Pec plays racquctball with the same vengcnce his linebackers show stopping a sweep. "He’s a competitor,” Redskins' trainer and racquctball opponent Bubba Tyer said simply in characterizing Peccatiello. “I wouldn’t have it any other way.” said Betsy Peccatiello. -FOOT FACTSDr. Bruce Vogel Podiatrist Foot Specialist Home Surgery • A Real Hazard!

Publishing and Printing (703) 675-3349 or 675-3338 SPECTRA Offers First Weekend Course SPECTRA, the new school of design in Flint Hill, held an open house last weekend for artists and craftsmen in the community. According to SPECTRA director Donald Chandler, the purpose of the open house was to acquaint the artists with SPECTRA’S program and to discover ways in which they could participate. The event was wellattended, with forty people joining in the discussion of the school’s relationship with the arts in Rappahannock. This Friday kicks off the first formal session of the new school, an orientation to architecture and building. The winter course is being offered on consecutive weekends, following this outline: First Weekend Jan. 7-9 —Conceptualizing —Client relations —Analyzing — Community and Environmental Considerations — Community Control: Building and zoning codes — Designing —Sketching and drawing —Construction financing — Materials technology Second Weekend Jan. 14-16 —Construction safety —Use of tools —Construction Equipment — Rappahannock News Photo/Rill Young FORTY PEOPLE attended Spectra’s open house last weekend for local artists and craftsmen. Here, they tour the grounds of the new Flint Hill design school. The artists were asked how they felt they could participate in and benefit from SPECTRA’s architectural program. Panther Tales Fund-Raising Slow For Junior-Senior Prom The Junior Class of RCHS is having great difficulty with the fund-raising projects that are being conducted for the 1982-83 Junior-Senior Prom. Their fund-raising projects included: The sale of plasticcoated posters from which they received a profit of $106.75. They also engaged in the sale of Panther Bumper Stickers and made a profit of $98.00. The largest amount of money received by the Junior Class was $431.00 from the “Mr. Rap pahannock” contest held at the High School on December 3, 1982. The Junior class has also received help from the Rappahannock Knights, a men’s county basketball league coached by William “Buck” Carter. The team held tournament games at the High School and the Juniors received a portion of the proceeds. AH of the figures are not yet final on this project as a considerable amount must be taken out to pay back the people who have helped sponsor the projects. Talking with the president of the Junior class Kim Wayland, we find that she. is skeptical about the possibility of a 1982-83 prom. Kim said she has talked to the Seniors of last year and found that they made over $1000 with the sale of candy. If you or anyone you know can help the Junior class with a fund-raising project please contact any Junior or the school. All help will be greatly appreciated. Auto Crashes Take Heavy Toll Of Life, Economy Automobile crashes cost the state’s economy at least $830 million in 1980, according to a Virginia Department of ^Transportation Safety’s annual completed in October. The staggering cost translates into a daily loss of $2,275,000. This was determined after estimating insurance payments, social security, workman’s compensation benefits, claim processing costs and uncompensated wage losses. “The true cost could be greater due to conservative estimation methods used in the study, however, at that rate of expense the Department of Transportation Safety study budget would be exhausted in less than three days,” Mr. Hanna pointed out. Emphasizing the human perspective, the study found that auto crashes are a significant cause of death for all Virginians and the leading cause of death for those between the ages of 10 and 35. Automobile injuries are more severe than almost all other injuries and require extensive medical care. More than 38 percent of these injuries require emergency room treatment. Highway crashes account for more than half of those institutionalized for brain and spinal cord injuries. In 1960 at least 26 paraplegics and 49 quadriplegics were treated ^af Virginia’s Wpadrow Wilson Rehabilitation Center. This represents a minimum number because many are treated at Veterans Administration hospitals and out of state institutions. The Rehabilitation Center estimates that a 26-year old paraplegic will require about $500,000 of care\in his lifetime. Many of thcwte who require rehabilitation! are treated at state expense. During the holiday period when traveling on turnpikes, expressways or interstate highways, VDTS urges drivers to take these safety precautions: Keep a full gas tank and check tires. Before starting study a map and locate the correct exits. Secure properly all passengers in appropriate safety belts and child safety seats as an effective protection against possible injury or death. Safety belts can help drivers better control their vehicle during a crash by keeping them secured behind the steering vheel. Don’t mix drinking and driving. Remember, it takes time to sober up. Enter an expressway by accelerating quickly to blend into existing traffic speed. Never stop or back up if an exit is missed. Go on to the next. In emergencies drive as far onto the right highway shoulder as possible. Never slow down suddenly on the highway. Keep up with the traffic flow and be sure tostay within the 55 mptf speed limit. Check to the rear before passing and give proper left turn signal. Afterwards, wait until the other vehicle appears in the rear view mirror. Then signal a right turn and return to the right lane. Allow pjenty of space between your car and venicles in other lanes. Stay at least 10 feet behind the vehicle ahead for every 10 mph you travel. This guards against chain reaction crashes. Read all road signs. They are important and there is little chance for second passing. Leave the expressway by slowing down in the deceleration lane to the posted ramp speed. Believe your speedometer, not your senses. Restraint Law Virginia’s Child Safety Seat Law takes effect January 1, 1983, amid a growing number of activities to publicize the requirements and the benefits of the new law. Enacted by the 1982 general Assembly, the law requires children under four to be properly secured in child safety seats in Virginia vehicles driven by their parents or legal guardians. According to the new law, the safety seats must be approved by the Virginia State Police. —Building techniques —Hands-on Construction: Completion of the actual project Instructors for the course will be Chandler, SIM CTRA’s founder and instructor of design; Nol Putnam, local blacksmith; David Schumacher, chairman of architecture technology and construction at Northern Virginia Community College; Will Hoare, Flint Hill landscape architect. Rappahannock s t u ife n t s enrolled in the course are Cl ini Bowman of Flint Hill, Wayne Fisher of C'astleton and Ritchie Dodson of View tow n.

RAPPAHANNOCK GARDENER Protecting Ornamentals Prune properly at an appropriate time for each plant throughout the year. This is effective in reducing damage by ice and snow. Particularly important is the removal of any weak, narrow-angled, V-shaped crotches. Avoid late-summer pruning yvhich stimulates new, tender growth and reduces the supply of nutrients available to the plant through the winter. Proper watering can be a critical factor in winterizing. If autumn rains are not sufficient, give the plants a deep soaking that will supply water to the entire root system before the ground freezes. This practice is especially important for broad and needled evergreens. Watering when there are warm days during January, February and March also is important. Mulching is afHmjJortant cultural technique through the year. It reduces weeds, helps control erosion and reduces loss of water. This last factor is of importance in preventing winter damage. A two- to four-inch layer of a mulch material, such as tan bark, fir bark, pine needles, wood chips or sawdust will reduce water loss and help maintain a uniform soil moisture around the roots. It also reduces the alternate freezing-thawing of the soil which heaves, or pushes up, some shallow-rooted plants.

Squirrel JL $ WALKH& $ White-tailed Deer Mouse BOUNPlIte^O «M» 030*1 ^O O Rabbit Ai Gray Fox 3f«¥T u Skunk Raccoon Chipmunk Parts Of Virginia Disappear More than 56 million tons of soil are lost from Virginia farmlands each year, estimates Manly S. Wilder, Soil Conservation Service (SCS) State Conservationist. High erosion rates threaten long-term agricultural productivity in many areas of Virginia. According to Wilder, “We have unacceptable erosion rates on approximately two-thirds of Virginia’s cropland.” The highest average cropland soil losses are in the Piedmont Bright Leaf erosion control area where erosion averages 18 tons per acre annually. According to Wilder, this is due to an increase in row crops such as tobacco, corn and soybeans and the farming of land that is too steep. Scientists generally consider cropland erosion levels tolerable in Virginia when eroded topsoil losses are less than 4 tons per acre per year. The rate at which soil erodes due to water depends on a variety of factors—including soil type, length, steepness of slope, amount of vegetative cover, and amount and rate of water runoff. One simple, cost-effective solution to solving erosion problems on cropland is conservation tillage — planting crops with little or no plowing of the land. Winter weather signs were watched carefully by English gardeners. Dogwood days were prophetic if remembered, for abundant spring blossoms were a sign of a cold winter to'come. . .Heavy bunches of pink dog-roses or white hawthorn flowers in the hedges of early summer, late blooming cherry trees or lilacs or a handsome crop of holly and redhaw, - all predict hard weather. English gardeners say: “Onion skin, very thin. Mild winter coming in; Onion skin thick and tough. Coming winter cold and rough. ” New England gardeners substitute an apple-skin and American Indians believe that if sweet corn is thicker-husked than usual, making cleaning harder, cold weather will follow. Wiltshire people see an omen in a field-mouse’s nest, for if she builds with the entrance to the south, a severe winter is to be expected, if to the north, much rain. In the United States the katydid is a most dependable predictor of the weather; in August it calls “six weeks to frost, six weeks to frost.” Six weeks after the first rasp of the katydid’s wings is heard the cold finger of the winter is felt. Profile of the Virginia Farmer Census data is being sought by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The 1982 census forms will be mailed out to all farm and ranch operators. Farmers, orchardists and ranchers should return their completed forms as soon as possible before the February 15 deadline. From the 1978 census, we learned these things about the Virginia farmer: —Sixty-two percent of the State’s 56,869 farm operators own the land they work, compared with 59 percent for the U.S. farm average. —Twenty-seven percent of the farmers are part owners-operators who both own And rent land—and 11 percent are tenants. —Slightly more Virginians—40 percent—as compared to the 37 percent national average—were employed more than 200 days off tfte farm. Just about half of them—47 percent gave their principal occupation as farming. —Virginians have smaller farms than the national average—175 acres as compared with 415 acres for the U.S. —Virginia farmers only harvest about one quarter of their cropland. But very few of them must irrigate—less than one percent. In crops, hay was the acreage leader, with 979,900 acres followed by com, 856,500; soybeans, 486,500; wheat, 125,400; peanuts, 105,600; barley, 102,300; tobacco, 76,000; orchardland, 39,600 (including 33,300 acres of apples producing 480.4 million pounds of fruit); and vegetables harvested for sale, 34,600 acres. Other facets of Virginia agriculture as outlined by the census: —Eighty-eight percent of the places or 50,302 were operated as individual or family farms, on a par with the national average; 5,069 were partnerships and only 1,254 were corporations. f —Eight percent of the farms were operated by women, 4,668, as compared with 52,201 by men. Nationally, 5 percent of the farms are women-operated. —Sixty-eight percent of Virginia’s farms sell less than S10.000 in farm products; 5 percent sell more than $100,000. Farmer’s Resolutions For The New Year By RAPOWINGS VPI Extension Agent Agriculture Resolve to: 1. Deal with everyone fairly and honestly. 2. Improve record keeping systems. 3. Line up credit early. Have financial and cash flow statements and projected costs and returns prepared before talking with your lender. Rapp Chats 4. Buy bulls with high performance records - study sire, dam, and half-brother performance records before making a decision. 5. Shorten up the breeding season, and this will tighten up the calving season. 6. Use a magnesium oxide supplement to prevent tetany in the cow-herd. 7. Get rid of the wild cows; life is just too short to put up with them. 8. Make that first cutting of grass hay 10 days earlier - weather permitting. 9. Apply nitrogen fertilizer to small grain and grass hay early. 10. Do a thorough job of pruning fruit trees. 11. Apply calcium to reduce apple corking. 12. Improve timeliness of orchard spray program. 13. Keep an open mind - participate in agricultural meetings - have a look at what other farmers are doing in the county, state, and other states. 14. Give thanks that you have the privilege of being able to farm and to rise up in the morning and look out at the mountains. Coming Events: January 12 - Apple and Peach Pruning Demonstration for Rappahannock and Madison growers and orchard workers. Meet at Payment-In-Kind Explored -After introducing the payment-in-kind concept at the last minute to a lameduck congress. Agriculture Secretary John R. Block says that he is trying to find ways to pursue the program on his own. “Payment-Tn-TCind” is the name of the general proposal sponsored by the administration which would return surplus grain to farmers who promise not to plant. Block had requested authority to pursue the program and, while granted authority quickly in the house, failed to receive it in the Senate. Administration critics have said that the Senate stall was because of unanswered questions regarding the proposal: Senate approval would have given Block the authority to waive the $50,000 ceiling on payment of agriculture benefits to farmers, and to cancel the federal requirement that commodities be sold at no less than 110 percent of the farm support loan rate. Good grain crop years have added to already swollen government stockpiles and costs of raising grain for farmers have risen to put the nation’s farmers in what many perceive as the worst crisis since the 'thirties. Block’s proposal addresses both issues and bi-partisan legislators have seen it as a significant change in administration policy and a sign that Block now believes that the farm situation is desperate. Critics, although not wholly against the concept of payment-in -kind, have wondered how such a gigantic effort could be undertaken. Some questions have been about the impact on the agriculture-related businesses in farm communities; about whether farmers really want to lay idle for a year; and controls to be kept on farmers wishing to sell their payment-in-kind crop. Under Block’s proposal, a farmer could idle 100 percent of his land and receive payment in wheat, corn, sorghum, rice or cotton for his own use, or idle 50 percent of his farm for the same commodities to sell. ,1,:. I Block and his supporters have said that the Senate must consider the proposal immediately upon convening in order to allow farmers to make planting decisions quickly. 9:30 a.m. at Graves Mountain Lodge, Syria, VA.

ROGER BATCHELDER, . - '"|;5 Reeltor and Bad Spellar. Across from Rush River Co. Washington, Va. 22747 675-3777 Res: 937-4388 \ -——Cooking On Your Air-Tight Wood Stove Surface RvTHFRFSARFYNninS Rappahannock Nrwn Staff Writer The common use of gas and electric stoves for cooking freed rural women from the necessity of constantly stoking fires and maintaining stable temperatures inside their stoves even in the stifling dap of July and August. n Still, in these dap of staggering energy bills,\there are those in Rappahannock who use wood cookstoyes, appreciating their warnu^i and comfort as well as their economy. Far more of us have airtight wood stoves. In the winter, our stoves are almost constantly in use, with surface temperatures ranging from 200-400 degrees. It makes sense to use this surface for long-simmering soups and stews, and to keep a constant source of hot water. With a little creativity you can branch out to roasts, breads and desserts. It’s important, of course, to iknow the temperature of your stove top. This you can do by investing in a stove thermometer, made with a magnet to hold it in place. Now you can determine Stove cooking temperatures: Very low—250-300 degrees; Low—300-350 degrees (simmering); Moderate—350375 degrees; Hot—400-450 degrees. Cooking a dish that requires long periods of high heat is not recommended - the stove is liable to drive everyone out of the house long before dinner is ready. The idea is to make use of already available heat. i Generally, you don’t want the temperature to fall below 212 degrees so that bacteria is not encouraged. Many meats can be browned first —perhaps on your regular stove—and then set to simmer. A practical idea for those who plan ahead is to start dinner early in the morning when you first load up the stove. A hot early morning fire helps rid the chimney of creosote after a night of low fire, and will warm up the house as your family rises. This is the time to brown meat, saute onions, and give stews and soups their initial boil. While you’re at it, fix coffee and heat bread on the stove for breakfast - all while your electric meter idles. l urn down your stove, leave for work, and come home to a house that smells wonderful and dinner already cooked. Generally, heat maintained at the final temperature desired for the cooked food means that the dish cannot overcook or burn. Make sure there is plenty of liquid, though. One of the most practical uses for your stove surface is for making stock. These recipes are basically the same as those used by thrifty housewives for centuries. They may simmer for as long as convenient for you. Freeze stock and use for a head start on soup, for sauces or dumplings. Beef Stock 3 pounds diced beef or beef shanks. 1 tablespoon salt. 2 tablespoons shortening. Vj cup carrots, cut in halfinch slices. Vi cup chopped green pepper. 1 crumbled bay leaf. V* teaspoon ground cloves. 3 quarts cold water. 2 tablespoons shortening. l'/i pounds soup bones (optional) 2 cups chopped celery, including tops. 1 cup chopped onions. '/j cup diced turnips (optional). Vi cup chopped parsley.
