Hutchinson KINGS OF THE MOUNTAIN — Self-declared winners in an impromptu snowball war give the victory sign. Youngsters took to the drifts in droves on Tuesday, taking advantage of the unexpected holiday and the bonus of snow on the ground and temperatures in the 50s. REFUSING TO CONCEDE, the would-bekings maintain a steady barrage of icy missies fired across the Trinity Church parking lot. The fun and games of the vacation that followed the storm of ’83 kept thoughts of make-up days and Saturday classes far from the minds of delighted out-of-school kids. Jail Funding In Hands Of Joint Conferees By SEAN ADAMS Arundel Newspapers Correspondent Richmond—It will be up to a joint House and Senate Conference Committee to decide whether Rappahannock County will get $81,500 in state money to help pay for renovating the county jail. No attempt was made last Wednesday to amend the Senate’s recommended budget to include money for Rappahannock’s jail but funding has been included in the House budget. Senator Nathan Miller (R-Rockingham) said he didn’t want to attempt to amend the Senate bill from the floor since it was highly unlikely that he would be successful. He said that chances of success would be better if he worked behind the scenes to persuade the conferees to add the money. “If you put an amendment up on the floor, you immediately flag it as a potential problem,” Miller said. The House bill is now in the Senate Finance Committee while the Senate’s budget has been referred to the House Appropriations Committee for review. The conferees are expected to work out a compromise between the two budgets and issue a report on February 23, according to a proposed budget timetable. But as Delegate Raymond R. “Andy” Guest, Jr. (R-Warren) said Monday, no one will know for sure whether the money will be in the final budget until the General Assembly approves it at the end of the session. Guest said he plans to talk to the Senate conferees and urge them to include the money, which would reimburse the county for half the estimated $163,000 cost of renovating the jail. He noted that Senator Edward E. Willey (D-Richmond), chairman of the Finance Committee and one of the conferee, grew up in Warren County and that he will try to persuade the senator to go along with the appropriation. “I might slide over and talk to him,” said Guest. “After 12 years here, hopefully they’ll listen to me.” The main danger, Guest said, is that the money for Rappahannock could be inadvertantly deleted as part of the last minute budget crunch that usually occurs at the end of the session. But, he added, “hopefully, it (Continued on Page 10) Schools To Seek Proposals On Insurance Saying that he hoped he could save the county’s schools about $5,000, Sam Rosenthal of Industrial Insurance Management Corporation appeared before the school board last week to present the audit report prepared by his firm. The Richmond company had been hired by the board to review and analyz present school insurance coverage and suggest improvements and changes. An insurance committee, composed of Robert Eastham and Nelson Lane, had researched regional insurance management companies and recommended this approach to upgrading insurance. Another purpose of the study was to see if there were any economies to be found by changing present coverage. Most of the discussion with Rosenthal revolved around the liability question on the upcoming construction of the school board office/bus shop. Rosenthal recommended that the board specify that the contractor assume risk until the structure is formally taken over by the school. “In general, it’s always better to have someone else assume the risk,” Rosenthal said. He also said that the board members should make sure they are getting a fifteen percent premium discount for their multi-peril package policy. Rosenthal said that the board could ask for proposals for all or part of its insurance needs and that his company would review the proposals to make sure they corresponded with the language of the report. “When we were getting advice from different companies, we told them they would have an opportunity to bid,” Eastham said. “We have a moral commitment to these people to allow them to bid.” “What we’re seeking are proposals,” Rosenthal said. “Everyone interested should have the same opportunity to make a proposal. You advertise the information available and everyone can pick it up the same day. Those that don’t pick it up may have theirs mailed the same day.” “The difference between seeking proposals and seeking bids,” Rosenthal continued “is that you can negotiate the cost and cover(Continued on Page 10) Council Discusses Fence At Inn In a short (15 minute) meeting last Wednesday night, Washington town council members discussed complaints they had gotten from town residents about the wall being constructed by the proprietors of The Inn at Little Washington between their property and the building housing the Middle Street Gallery. “I keep getting complaints about this wall,” said C.E. Giles. “I just can’t find any record that we granted them permission for a wall.” “In their first site plan, they asked for permission for a garden and fence,” said Mayor Newbill Miller. “We approved^.” v“But that said a board fence,” Dorothy Hawkins said. “There was nothing about a wall.” “I’m satisfied that they do have permission,” Miller said. “It’s unfortunate that we didn’t ask for a more specific sketch.” “Do you want to pursue this?” the Mayor continued. “They have really taken advantage of us,” Hawkins said. “Would you look into this further?” “I’m satisfied that nothing improper has been done,” said the Mayor. “We may not like it, but correct procedures have been followed. Next time we’ll ask for more information.” “But, in the past, you’ve always done this type of thing for us,” Hawkins said. “What I’m saying is that what I’ve discovered has not satisfied the council,” Miller said. “You need to satisfy yourselves - maybe you can find a different light on it.” Giles and Hawkins agreed to pursue the matter jointly. After noting that the new town trash receptacles were in place, the council adjourned. I Record Snow Storm Blankets County By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New« SUIT Writer The winter storm that paralyzed the nation’s capitol last Friday dumped up to 30 inches of snow on Rappahannock, closing schools and businesses, stranding motorists and blocking primary and secondary roads. The county doesn’t have an official weather station but highway workers who were out continuously from Thursday evening at 6 p.m. until Tuesday morning report that 37 inches fell at Skyline Drive’s Panorama while the rest of Rappahannock got from 24 to 30 inches. In Washington, Sheriff W. A. Buntin measured 24 inches in his backyard before winds pushed the snow into drifts. The mark was 30 inches when Wilson Atkins put his yardstick to the accumulation in Sperryville. The storm fell just short of blizzard classification. It takes 35 miles per hour winds to technically qualify as a blizzard. On Friday, gusts howled at 20 to 25 miles per hour but it was more than enough to pile snow into four to six foot drifts. According to highway department inspector C. E. Dodson, the worst drifting was on the Luray mountain and in the lower end of the county between Flint Hill and the kennels on Route 647. The staff of 20 from the highway department’s maintenance shop in Washington had trucks out around the clock from Thursday evening through Saturday night, working to keep roads open. Crews continued to plow and sand from Sunday until Tuesday afternoon. “And I expect we’ll have some men out tonight (Tuesday) too,” Dodson reported. Dual-lane Route 211 was passable—if barely— through most of Friday’s storm, Dodson said. It was closed completely for only about an hour around 4 p.m. when cars stuck on the road prevented highway department trucks from passing. According to Dodson, one lane was open over both Luray and Front Royal mountains despite the snow that fell at 3 inches an hour during the late afternoon. “The roads were passable for four-wheel drive vehicles but not for cars,” he added. He noted that Chester Gap was particularly hard hit with the community’s roads blocked until Saturday afternoon. Maintenance supervisor Doug Bywaters said that he expects all secondary roads to be cleared so that two vehicles can pass by Wednesday afternoon. He hesitated to predict, however, if conditions will permit school buses to operate. “That depends on the school board and what they need to run the buses," By waters said, noting that buses must have room to turn around on dead end roads. On Tuesday; the worst road conditions were in the hollows between Sperryville and Washington, By waters reported. “Most of the roads in the Flint Hill area (where drifting was most severe) have had two passes,” he said. Too Much Snow The maintenance shop has nine small trucks, one large four-wheel drive truck, two motor graders and two front-end loaders in its storm fighting arsenal, according to Bywaters. “But the small trucks weren’t any good after the storm stopped. There was too much snow. They couldn’t push it away. That’s why it took longer this'time to get roads plowed.” To combat the storm, which By waters and others described as the single heaviest snowfall in recent Rappahannock history, the highway department called in outside contractors. Equipment was hired from Eldon Farms in Woodville, Richard Compton and Steven Kellerson of Amissville, James Costello in Chester Gap and Champ Carney in Sperryville, Bywaters reported. Even with the extra help, highway crews worked 12-hour shifts. “In some instances, it was longer. They couldn’t get home so they kept on working another eight-to-eight shift,” the maintenance sunervisnr said. “And in some cases, when they could get home, they couldn’t get back out when their next shift started so we’d have to send a plow in to get them. That’s why some roads were cleared earlier than normal.” Bywaters noted that the department has received (Continued on Page 10) —Rappahannock News Photo/D. Hutchinson SUMMER IN THE SNOW? Tuesday’s unseasonably warm weather sent rivujets of water pouring off roofs as the two feet plus of snow dumped on Rappahannock in Friday’s storm began to melt. Temperatures in the 50’s prompted strollers in the town of Washington to doff their coats. Lud Stetka went one step further, discarding his shirt as he shoveled snow from Peter Kramer’s shop. County’s Jobless Rate Remains In Double Digits KappanannocK was me only jurisdiction in the fivecounty area with unemployment in double digits for December, according to the latest manpower bulletin from the Culpeper office of the Virginia Employment Commission. In December, Rappahannock’s labor force totaled 2,502. Employed persons numbered 2,238. The VEC office reported 264 out-ofwork. Rappahannock’s rate of 10.6 percent was down from the county’s 11.1 percent jobless rate for November but the December figure was still the highest in the area. During the same montn, unemployment in Culpeper and Madison stood at 9.7 percent, in Orange at 9.5 percent and in Fauquier at 5.4 percent. The areawide average for December was 9.6 percent, higher than the state average of 8.4 percent but lower than the 10.5 percent national jobless level. The Culpeper VEC office reported 27 job orders, 35 job openings, 15 placements and 2,200 unemployment insurance recipients in January, 1983. During the same month in 1982, the office had 2,659 unemployment insurance recipients on its rolls.

The Rappahannock News and most other county businesses will follow normal hours of operation, Judge Unable To Interpret Zoning Ordinance And Map Ruling On BZA Case Deferred In the opinion of Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson, Rappahannock County’s zoning ordinance coyld be challenged on the grounds of vagueness in a declaratory judgement action. Robertson reached that opinion after reviewing the ordinance and the record relative to the Board of Zoning Appeals’ decision of May 14, 1981, to grant a special use permit to Carson Johnson for operation of an automobile shop and storage business in Sperryville. The BZA’s issuance of the permit has been contested by Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schaeffer and other neighboring property owners in the village. In initiating the certiorari review, the Schaeffers have asked the circuit court to declare the BZA’s action in granting the special use permit null and void. Judge Robertson held an evidentiary hearing on the case in December, 1982. Then in a surprise move, he announced by letter on February 7 that he will defer ad judication for six months. “Because this Court is unable to ascertain the district in which the property lies, I am unable to reverse, affirm or modify this decision (to grant Johnson a special use permit). While s declaratory judgement might lie to challenge the ordinance for vagueness, that issue is not before the Court in this case,” Robertson ruled. But problems arise from more than just the vagueness of the county’s zoning ordinances and maps. “On this record without proper findings (by the BZA in granting the permit) I cannot properly review the BZA’s decision even if the districts could be ascertained,” the judge noted. In the five page letter which detailed his reasons for deferring adjudication, Robertson pointed out that legal standards give rise to the presumption that the BZA’s decision is correct and put the burden on the challengers to overcome that presumption. He added that he could not overturn the issuance of the special use permit unless the BZA had applied eroneus principles of law or unless the evidence proved that the decision was plainly wrong and in violation of the purpose and intent of the zoning ordinance. Which District? As the first step in his review, Robertson noted, it was necessary to determine the zone in which the Johnson property lies. “The plaintiffs argue from the evidence that the property is clearly located in an agricultural and/or flood plain district,” said Robertson, citing testimony of Newbill Miller, member of the board of supervisors at the time the 1973 zoning ordinance was adopted, and Benjamin Lee Bird, present chairman of the BZA. In addition, the judge pointed to the 1966 zoning ordinance which indicates Johnson’s property lies outside Sperryville’s residential business district. “However, the present maps and ordinance which must control the Court’s (Continued on Page 3) EQUUS Brings Theatrical Magic To Gay Street Stage What would you call an opportunity to see one of the outstanding plays of the Washington, D.C. threater season right here at home - and at half the D. C. price? That is what Source Theatre is making available to local residents by offering one performance of EQUUS at the Gay Street Theatre in tjie town of Washington at 8 P.M. Friday, February 25. EQUUS is a psychological ‘Whodunnit.’ The mystery revolves around how a sensitive teenager could perform the abhorrent act of blinding six horses. The play opens with this question as the disturbed teenager, Alan Strang, is referred to child psychiatrist Martin Dysart. Through the electric interaction of doctor and patient, the audience begins to understand the sexual/religious origins of the boy’s act even as more serious questions are raised about the nature of society, culture and sanity itself. EQUUS was written by Peter Schaffer who spun the tale of EQUUS from an actual event, recorded in a tiny newspaper story, which both repelled and tantalized him. Schaffer is also the author of Five Finger Exercise and Amadeus. When EQUUS was first brought to Broadway in 1974 it won critical acclaim and a Tony award. Some doubted the wisdom of the Source Theatre - a small community theater company in Washington, D.C. - taking on such an ambitious project. But courage is the mark of the Source Theatre. Bart Whiteman founded Source in 1977. It is a maverick of the theater - tough, small, independent, gutsy. With tiny facilities but unbounded courage and dedication, the Source Theare is a university - teaching in every aspect of theater as it goes. Source Theatre Company is not afraid to risk failure as it dances back and forth from established classics to the new, the experimental and the unknown. But if producing EQUUS was a gamble, it is a gamble it seems to have won. Here’s what some of the critics have been saying: —Hap Erstein of The Washington Times: “Under the carefully crafted, boldly inventive and intimate direction of Robert McNamara, the play is not diminished but enhanced ...the Source Production has wings. In its unflinching intensity and graphic power this is a near flawless presentation... For the moment (Source) has the finest dramatic production in town.” —Maggie Olff of The Washington Tribute: “The Source’s EQUUS is spare and powerful, more of a psychiatric sleuth than an action drama...at your earliest opportunity run, do not walk, to the Source Theatre. See this play.” —Jim Perry of Journal Newspapers: “Gripping is overworked in the reviewer’s lexicon, but it certainly fits the Source Theatre Company’s current production of EQUUS. ... EQUUS is a good reason to go to the theater this season.” —Jill D. Navarre The Living Stage: “Whatever questions are left unanswered (and there are many), whatever you buy or don’t buy about this story, EQUUS in definitely theatrical-magi^* (Continued on Page 3)

Frances had spent years making her hand-crocheted items for gifts and special orders. She knew of many others who would be glad for the extra income from craft sales at a local store. With these two purposes in mind, the women met in Washington one day in late September to scout possible locations. When they found the office space in the old Post Office building, they knew that was their place. “We had to move really fast,” Becky remembers. In a month’s time Becky and Frances got the office ready, built up their inventory, and advertised for crafts. On November 1 they were open for business. For their books and Sunday school supplies they scoured Christian magazines and called companies that advertised there. From these suppliers they heard of others, until their shelves were stocked with Christian teaching supplies, Bibles, Bible stories for children and vacation Bible school supplies for every age. Becky and Frances also prowide church supplies. “We can order almost anything that anyone might need for church services from the catalog,” Becky said. On the shelves now is a selection of books aimed at children, teenagers and adults. One family series, called “When” includes such titles as When a Family Loses a Loved One, When a Story Would Help, and When a Child Needs a Hug. A series for teenagers, which Becky said is great for grown-ups, too, includes If God Loves Me, Why Can’t I Get My Locker Open? and Falling Off Cloud Nine and Other High Places. Also included in the church-oriented inventory are religious records and tapes, a category that they hope to expand. Handmade gifts at Creations are priced, for the Payment In Kind Supported ASCS News By TOM TAYLOR ACSC Representative NEW PIK PROGRAM Secretary of Agriculture John Block recently announced details of a voluntary program whereby producers will be offered an amount of commodity as a payment-in-kind (PIK) for reducing acreage beyond what is called for in the 1983 acreage reduction and paid land diversion programs. PIK offers a three-fold objective: (1) reduce production, (2) reduce surplus stock holdings, and (3) avoid increased budget outlays. Signup period for PIK ends March 11, 1983. You must be enrolled in the Acreage Reduction Program (ARP) in order to enroll for PIK. Producers may choose to participate in PIK under two options: (1) Percent of Base PIK - Agreeing to set aside an additional 10 to 30 percent of the com/grain sorghum or wheat base; (2) Whole Base PIK - An acreage equal to the entire crop acreage base, minus the applicable required paid land as already announced.for Participation in the- mle base PIK will depend on CCC’s acceptance of the bid. * Whole Base PIKbflsmust be filed by the farm Operator no later than March 11, 1983. They are submitted as sealed bids and will be opened by the county committee on March 18. CONSERVATION USE ACREAGE (CUA) Conservation use acreage requirements for PIK are the same as alreayd announced for ARP except that wheat may be grazed out or harvested for hay. Harvesting for hay includes silage, green chop, etc. The Two-Fold Benefit OfPIK “Farmers, now is the time to make significant headway on those easily eroded and hard to farm fields while taking advantage of the newly announced Payment-In-Kind (PIK) Program through your local ASCS Office,” says Lue Walters, District Conservationist. While the “PIK” primary purpose is to reduce the national surplus of grain reserve, it could and will have major affects on the reduction of soil erosion on those fields that are involved. In fact, in some instances, it may reduce soil erosion by over 80%. This could prove a real savings for some farmers. This is so simple because this program requires the participants to reseed or establish some form of cover over the previously farmed fields. So, if you are a participant, why don’t you give strong consideration to removing those marginal fields out of production into the PIK Program.

They charge only ten percent for their consignment services. Creations has added greeting cards and wrapping paper at the request of local customers. Becky and Frances will respond to other requests by the community to stock specific items. After three months, the two women are encouraged by their business and by the increasing number of craftspeople who bring in their handiwork. “We couldn’t be more pleased with the acceptance and response,” Becky said. “We’d love for our inventory to outgrow our quarters.” New at Creations is a coupon exchange and customers are invited to trade their extra coupons for ones they need. The enthusiasm of Becky and Frances for their new operation is obvious. What is their favorite part of running their own shop? Both women agreed that dealing with the public is what makes Creations fun for them. Creations is open Monday through Friday rom 9:30 to 5:30; Saturday from 9:30 to 3:00 in the Old Post Office building in Washington.

Godsey is directing FmHA district directors and county supervisors throughout the state to encourage Virginia farmers to seriously consider participating in the new Paymentin-Kind (PIK) or “crop swap”, program. State Director Godsey, who just returned from a Department of Agriculture briefing in Washington, said he is “thoroughly convinced that the PIK program can go a long way toward solving surplus grain problems and easing the cost-price squeeze, while at the time time, holding down federal spending.” The meeting in Washington, Godsey said, was called by Secretary of Agriculture John R. Block. It included comments by the Secretary and detailed briefings by Agriculture Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS) Administrator Everett Rank and FmHA Ad ministrator Charles W. Shuman, among others. ASCS Executive Directors, including Mahlon Rudy, Executive Director, Virginia, and ASCS committee members from around the country, also attended the meeting. “There is no doubt in my mind,” Godsey said, “that this innovative PIK program can be of great benefit to Virginia’s farmers. It can help reduce the need for operating capital, reduce interest costs, and hold production to a more realistic level this year and, if necessary, next year. It can help relieve cash flow problems for many farmers and in the long run improve the general agricultural economy.” “I sincerely hope that every farmer will study the details of the new program with an open mind and determine its benefits before the end of the sign-up period, March 11,” Godsey said.

EQUUS Brings Theatrical Magic To Gay Street Stage (Continued from Page 1) Martin Dysart, the psychiatrist, is played by the versatile founder and director of the Source Theatre, Bart Whiteman. Whiteman is a renaissance man-of-thetheater - he sets, writes, directs, produces, teaches. Says critic Hap Erstein, “Whiteman underplays expressively, capturing the sterility and sexual repression which define Dysart’s hollow existence,” says Jill Navarre. “Mr. Whiteman has found the connections, the key to unlock the skin we must climb into. It is a good fit.” The boy, Alan Strang, is “played perfectly by a newcomer to the Washington (D.C.) stage, Kryztov Lindquist,” says critic Jim Perry. “In a role that teeters dose to uncontrolled emotion, Lindquist displays an uncanny ability to carry the audience along with him into insanity with the sureness of a professional. There is not a false moment in his voice or movement.” Director Robert McNamara has assembled and orchestrated an excellent supporting cast. EQUUS will not be everyone’s cup of tea. Theater goers who don’t want to be deeply touched, who don’t want to be challenged and left with disturbing questions, would be better off staying at home. Since there are a few brief sequences of explicit sexuality, parental discretion for minors is advised. Ticekts for EQUUS are currently on advance sale for $4.75 at Nature Foods, Middle Street Gallery and Rush River Company, all in town of Washington, Hackley’s Store in Amissville, Flint Hill Storehouse and Etlan General Store. Orders may be placed by calling (703) 987-8598. The advance sale ends at noon on February 18. The box office price will be $6. Zoning Ordinance, Maps Unclear (Continued from Page 1) opinion as to this matter are unclear and difficult to reconcile,” Robertson said. The floor plain map “appears to show this property, indeed virtually the entire village of Sperryville, within the Flood Plain District.” The BZA argues that the language of the zoning ordinance makes residential business (RB-1) uses permissible in the overlaying Flood Plain District in accordance with the board of supervisors intended, Robertson noted. But the judge ruled that neither the ordinance approved by the supervisors nor papers filed by the BZA “make it sufficiently clear that such is the case. I find no provision in the ordinance or on the maps which states the effect of such an overlay (flood plain zone) upon an RB-1 district - or any other district,” Rob* ertson said. “Further, the RB-1 district and the agriculture district common boundary is unclear as it effects this property,” he added. The BZA also argues that under Virginia law, it has the power to interpret a zoning district map where there is uncertainty as to the location of the district boundary, the judge said. However, he pointed out that the power is limited to the hearing and deciding of “applications for interpretation” at a public hearing on legal notice. Review of the records fails to show any such application or public hearing, Robertson noted. “I therefore deem no such determination has been made by the BZA.” Building? •Paint * -V. •Lumber c •RRIIIwork >' •Hardware" CMiptott OM-Step BUILDING SUPPLY Warrenton Building Material Co., Inc. utteOy-Piss VarrmtM 347-1400 )* No Findings Unable to determine from the maps and ordinance the district in which Johnson’s property is located, Judge Robertson reviewed the permitted uses that could have been approved in the three separate districts.

The gain in the consumer price index for the year for all urban consumers was 3.9, according to the VEC bulletin. Histories Available The History of the Descendants of Charles Keyser and Henry Miller compiled by Florence Miller and Louise Keyser Cockey is a history of the Keyser and Miller families of Rappahannock County. This 482-page volume with index and table of contents should be in the library of every Keyser and Millei descendant who has any interest in his roots. Commencing with the early 18th century Keyser and Miller families, the authors trace them to the present with stories, pictures and geneological tables, not even omitting the infamous Jesse James, a Miller descendant who was the notorious bandit from Missouri. The book is available from Mrs. Cockey, 211 Longwood Road, Baltimore Maryland, 21210 for $32.00. f>tc^eal ■■J c/ofp ssawss?: EjbliUC Eileen M. Day realtor HOMEOWNER BONUS When you increase the insurance limits on your home, the dollar amount of financial protection is automatically increased on the family’s personal property, as well as on the dwelling structure. Normally, under the homeowners package policy, the limits on personal property are set at 60 percent of the limits on the dwelling. For example, if your home is insured for $20,000, you have $10,000 worth of insurance on the furnishings, clothing and other personal property. If you increase the limits on the dwelling to $40,000, limits on the personal property automatically jump to $20,000. In the event a loss occurs, you would be asked to provide the insurance company representative with an inventory of the damaged or destroyed items and their value, so that your claim can be processed without delay. If the property is lost through burglary or theft, the inventory will be helpful to police as well as to the insurer.

Whether or not Johnson’s property meets this test requires an analysis of the record and such an analysis is not possible because the BZA failed to make the necessary findings, Robertson concluded. “The law places the burden on the BZA to show findings. Having not done so, this Court cannot rule on their actions,” he noted. “While Virginia law appears not to allow further review on a record from the BZA, and while the Board of Supervisors is not a party before the Court here, a clarification of these districts may be in order or in the alternative, the BZA may wish to conduct a hearing (to determine in which district Johnson’s property is located) if an application for such interpretation is made to it,” Robertson said, deferring adjudication for six months “unless a lesser time is determined to be appropriate.” KRYZTOV LINDQUIST, a newcomer to the D.C. stage, has one of the leading roles in EQUUS, the highly acclaimed dramatic production which is coming to the Gay Street Theater in Washington on February 25.

How Does Your Home Measure Up? Whether or not electricity is the sole means of heating and cooling your home, proper insulation is extremely important in saving you dollars and energy. Insulating a home which has no insulation can provide substantial savings of up to 30% of your heating and cooling costs. Heating and air conditioning requirements are far less in a home that is properly insulated. Of course, this means greater comfort for the homeowner at a lower cost. Your home may not have enough insulation and we recommend the following guidelines: Ceilings - R 30 Insulation Walls - R 11 Insulation (existing homes) - R 18 Insulation (new homes) Floors - R 19 Insulation If you aren’t sure about the amount of insulatioh in your home, call a reputable contractor or dealer for an inspection. Properly installed insulation can make a big difference in comfort and cost. Storm doors and windows represent another major source of energy and costs savings. For example, stornfi doors and windows or insulating glass can actually reduce the heating or cooling loss through windows by almost 50% when compared to standard doors and windows. For even greater savings, you might consider triple-glazed windows and insulated doors. Installation of storm doors and windows also provides greater comfort by eliminating cold drafts, especially across the floors. Some doors and windows leak so much they might as well be open. Keep the warm or cool air inside where you want it. You’ll enjoy greater comfort and save energy and money at the same time. Storm doors and windows can still lose heated or cooled air if they aren’t properly sealed. Check to make sure that yours are weatherstripped around movable joints and well caulked around all frames. It does make a big difference. Potomac Edison Part of the Allegheny Power System

Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc. Member. Audit Bureau of Circulation Thursday, February 17,1983 Heroes Of The Storm Adversity brings out the best in all of us. This past weekend, we saw a classic example of that best. The going rarely gets tougher than it did on Friday when 30 inches of snow smothered the county, creating a near state of emergency. But the storm brought no deaths here, largely because of the spirit of cooperation that came with the flakes. Highway crews picked up stranded motorists and pulled stalled cars from ditches and drifts. Fire fighters and rescue volunteers camped out at their stations so they coultl reach their vehicles in case of a fire or a heart attack. The emergency service workers opened station house doors to travelers and local people who couldn’t make it home through the almost-blizzard. Across the county, Rappahannock residents invited friends and strangers alike inside to wait safe and warm by woodstoves until the storm subsided and they could reach their destination without danger. Folks with four-wheel drive vehicles answered a call for help from area hospitals and took to the snow cov ered highways and back roads to bring doctors, nurses and hospital staff to their jobs. The next morning, farmers were out early with tractors and plows to open a path to hungry livestock. When they finished tending their animals, they stayed out all day Saturday and Sunday, clearing snow from neighbors’ driveways and lanes. Those who had vehicles that could make it through the drifts brought food and medicine to the homebound. Welfare department workers and a Rappahannock deputy carried kerosene toa household without electricity. Neighbors trudged across fields to feed pets and keep the fires burning for families that couldn’t make it home. Older people who live alone were checked on regularly. Modern “knights” on horseback lunged through snowbanks to carry milk; bread and other necessities to snow-locked residences. We could go on and on. The list of the county’s storm of ’83 heroes is a long one. Congratulations people of Rappahannock for showing us the best that is too often hidden in us all. February Gave The Country Lincoln And Washington Lists of the greatest U.S. presi-* dents always begin with George Washington or Abraham Lincoln. Both Were born in February — Washington, Who pi*e6ided over the birth of this nation, on February 21, and Lincoln, who saw to it that the Civil War didn’t permanently splinter the Union, on February 12. In honor of these two giants of American history, Richard Pierson of Amissville delivered copies of the following poems to the Rappahannock News. The first was written by Lincoln when the Great Emancipator was 37 years old. The second was penned by William Cullen Bryant for Washington’s birthday in 1878. MEMORY My childhood’s home I see again, And sadden with the view; And still, as memory crowds my brain, There’s pleasure in it, too. 0 memory! thou midway world Twixt earth and paradise, Where things decayed and loved ones lost In dreamy shadows rise, And, freed from all that’s earthly, vile, Seem hallowed, pure and bright, Like scenes in some enchanted isle All bathed in liquid light. As dusky mountains please the eye When twilight chases day; As bugle notes that, passing by, In distance die away; As, leaving some grand waterfall, We, lingering, list its roar— So memory will hallow all We’ve known but know no more. Near twenty years have passed away Since here I bid farewell To woods and fields, and scenes of play, And playmates loved so well. Where many were, but few remain Of old familiar things, But seeing them to mind again The lost and absent brings. The friends I left that parting day, How changed, as time has sped! Young childhood grown, strong manhood gray; And half of all are dead. I hear the loved survivors tell How nought from death could save, Till every sound appears a knell And every spot a grave. I range the fields with pensive tread, And pace the hollow rooms, And feel (companion of the dead) I’m living in the tombs. —Abraham Lincoln WASHINGTON’S BIRTHDAY Pale is the February sky, And brief the mid-day’s sunny hours; The wind-swept forest seems to sigh For the sweet time of leaves and flowers. Yet even when the summer broods O’er meadows in their fresh array, Or autumn tints her glowing woods, No month can boast a prouder day. For this chill season now again Brings, in its annual round, the mom When, greatest of the sons of men, Our glorious Washington was bom. Lo, where, beneath an icy shield, Calmly the mighty Hudson flows, By snow-clad fell and frozen field Broadening the lordly river goes. The wildest storm that sweeps through space And rends the oak with sudden force, Can raise no ripple on his face Or slacken his majestic course. Thus, mid the wreck of thrones, shall live Unmarred, undimmed, our hero’s fame, And years succeeding years shall give Increase of honors to his name. —William Cullen Bryant This Was The News In Bygone Rappahannock Times... 33 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS Raccoon hunters from Rappahannock - Jacob Williams, Aubry Campbell, Erskine Mills, Fred Dodson and Jerry Atkins - met with success at an all night hunting party near the Rapidan River. The hunters and their dogs bagged two old coons weighing approximately 17 pounds apiece and a small raccoon weighing about nine pounds. 20 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS The weather station in Washington reported an official reading I of minus five degrees. In outlying areas, it was even colder with the thermometer dropping to minus nine in Viewtown and minus eight in Tiger Valley. Guy Burke resigned after 22 years as the county jailer. When Mr. Burke left the jail, he took with him two of the courhouse square’s landmarks, his two famous white geese, known for their habit of chasing the ladies. The geese now reside in a coop on Gay Street. Black military dress shoes were on sale at A&N Stores in Front Royal and Culpeper for $6.66. THERE’S NOTHING LIKE a couple of feet of snow to soften the falls in a winter football game. Youngsters across the county played in a white wonderland after bright sunshine followed Friday’s record storm. The near blizzard that struck the area forced school closings on Friday through Wednesday and cancellation of Saturday’s special session scheduled to make up an earlier snow day. Letters To Editor Made In Heaven To the editor: We wish to thank Rob Bayne and the Rappahannock News for printing the wonderful story about our son, Daniel. However, I wish to correct one piece of information that might lead to a possible misconception about adoption, and especially international adoption. We did not have “hundreds of pictures” to look through to select our child! We looked at perhaps 9 or 10 photos of children with brief profiles of the child attached. These were the children who were available for adoption from Mother Theresa at that time. To even be given such a choice is a rare occurrence in international adoption, because so few children are actually legally available. There is a tragic irony that while there are literally millions of homeless and hungry children on the streets and in the orphanages of the world (including many in this country), w|h out official documents that declare them “orphans” or relinquished for adoption by parent or relative, these unfortunate children are not considered adoptable. They may be abused or abandoned, but they cannot be adopted without these legal documents. This, of course, is to a certain degree, to protect children from being kidnapped and sold to often eager but innocent would-be parents. But sometimes it is the arbitrariness of aws, politics and the social welfare system. It is a terribly sad statement of our world; that where often there is a family or a single parent eager to have a child-any child from anywhere - and there are so many children in need of a loving home, the cold, hard fact is that there are more parents seeking children than there are children legally available. But patience, perseverance and open-mindedness are key words in adoption. You might consider adopt ing an older child (everybody wants babies, but a child 2 years old is considered “older”), or a child with “special needs” - which can often mean a minor, correctible physical handicap, or a child of a different sex or nationality than you had originally considered. Be prepared to wait up to a year for a “referral”—i.e. to be shown a picture of one child, and then to wait six months or more before that child (if you accept him/her) will be home with you. The red tape, paperwork, delays and doubts can be agonizing. But in lots of ways it is the period of “testing” that determines your strength of purpose and commitment about adopting. And ultimately, it helps to have the faith that children and families are all “made in heaven” whether they are biological or adopted on earth. PALI DELEVITT-ALLAN Thanks For the Memory lotne editor: Procrastinated a while— then got caught up in the happenings of the snow storm of ’83 but wanted to say how much I enjoyed your January 27 edition on a century of education in the county. My earliest school memories were of the county wuiiiiciivciuait uays Wlltill all the county schools came together in little Washington to celebrate the end of the school year. We marched, displayed exhibits of our school work, played and picnicked. My school, Hull, and the nearby Sycamore School students used to line up together to the chants of “Sycamore balls and peanut hulls” from the town kids. As the popular song says “...I was country when country wasn’t cool”! But — ahhh — School days. Thanks for the memory.

CHRIS MOYLES HOSTETTER Castleton S esquicentennial Re-enactment On February 8, 1833, the Virginia General Assembly passed what was entitled “Chapter 73 — An Act forming a new county out of the county of Culpeper,” and in paragraph one proclaimed the county’s name to be Rappahannock. In paragraph two, the Assembly ordered Governor John Floyd to appoint 25 persons to serve as “Justices of the Peace in and for the County” after they had taken their oaths duly administered by Samuel Simoson, a Justice of the Peace from Shenandoah County. Paragraph five further commanded these 25 Justices to meet “at the home of Mrs. Anne Cox in Rappahannock on the first Monday of April” to appoint a Clerk, nominate officers for. the Governor to commission, and fix upon a place for holding court until necessary buildings could be constructed at the place designated by the commissioners. Mrs. Cox’s home was the present Washington House \ in the soon-to-be-selected county seat. Appropriately, a re-enactment of the ceremonies will be held there on April 16 of this Sesquicentennial year, the afternoon of the Fodderstack Classic Road Race. The list of 25 gentlemen who met at Washington House contains numerous names known today in the county. The committee planning this April observance of local history would like to have present-day decendants of the 25 get in touch with Mrs. Dorothy Cox Davis at 675-3369 after March 4 but not later than March 25. Their participating in the reenactment will give the program an extra dimension of authenticity. From Both Barrels—«r A Word Of Caution By GEORGE BOWLES It was around 10 o’clock Sunday night a week ago when an exuberant Sen. Hunter Andrews of Hampton triumphantly announced that the Senate Finance Committee had scored a ipajor coup. Sen. Andrews unveiled a Senate fiscal plan which, if it proves to be sound, could blunt much of the potentially disasterous political impact of spending cuts announced earlier by Gov. Charles S. Robb. At the heart of the Andrews plan was the revelation that the committee had come up with $86 million in newly available money. The governor had made the cuts to offset a projected $305 million revenue shortfall which threatened to throw the 1982-84 biennial budget badly out of balance. Among other things, the reductions would slash basic aid to the localities for education by $20 million, freeze all state salaries, and impose a 6 percent funding reduction on nearly all state agencies. ‘ The effect would be A especially rough on teachers, who had been prom- J ised a 10 percent pay increase next year. Under V the Robb plan this would be reduced to 6.3 percent. Their cries of outrage were matched by those of suae employees wno ap- " peared destined to receive no merit pay hikes at all. At the same time Sen. Andrews was making his plan known, on another floor of the General Assembly Building, the House Appropriations Committee was holding its own extraordinary Sunday night meeting. The members were busily engaged in formulating plans for spending $64 million in hitherto unnoticed funds which they turned up. Like their Senate counterparts, the House committee also planned to use the money to, among other things, restore the promised teacher pay raise, give state employees as much salary relief as possible, and allocate money for higher education. Meanwhile, back at his mansion, Gov. Robb viewed all these Sabbath evening events with concern. He dispatched an aide with a message for the committee members, but it was also clearly intended to make his position on these developments known to the public. The governor said, while he applauded the efforts of the committees to come up with new money, he urged them to be prudent in view of the fact that he was far from convinced that a recovery of the national economy was at hand. In point of fact, very little new money had been found. Aside from a one-time windfall of $16.4 million to be realized from increasing the percentage of estimated income tax corporations and individuals would have to pay, the new money was, for the most part, a result of shifting spending priorities. It is the assigning of these spending priorities which could—and probably will—keep the General Assembly tied in knots for the remaining days of the session. For the first time, the Senate as well as the House has prepared a budget bill, and the effort to reconcile the two documents and come up with a spending measure agreeable to both houses could prove to be a monumental task. That task will be carried out at a time when many economic indicators seem indeed to herald, at long last, an easing of the recession. The temptation will be considerable to gamble that in the months ahead the revenue picture will brighten and more funds will be available for needed services. But the General Assembly budgeteers should bear in mind an important fact which was inherent in the governor’s warning. The shortfall estimate of $305 million presupposes that a major economic upturn will take place this spring. That upturn must boost the state’s economic growth from the present rate of about 6 percent to a full 10 percent by the second quarter. If it does not, it will be impossible for even the full Robb spending cuts to offset the shortfall. One hopes that this little detail has not been overlooked by the lawmakers in their zeal to come up with new money. Alarmingly, there is little in the numbers presently available to encourage the hope that a recovery of this magnitude is going to begin so soon. And if it does not, the projected shortfall situation could well become worse instead of better. If it does worsen, the consequences could be still more cuts, higher taxes, and even a special legislative session to deal with it. Thus the governor’s words of caution about the course of the national economy were clearly in order. For this reason, his urging that the lawmakers exercise extreme care as they go about shifting spending priorities in order to accommodate immediate concerns, no matter how laudable they may be, should be taken as words to live by. Robb Commends PD9 Governor Charles S. Robb in a letter to chairman John B. Adams offered his congratulations to the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission upon its tenth anniversary. The governor stated, “Your efforts in providing needed services to your local governments during this period are commendable.” The PD9 commission was chartered in January, 1973 by Fauquier, Orange, and Rappahannock counties and the town of Warrenton and became fully operational in‘ September, 1973, when the first staff was hired. In 1975 Culpeper and Madison Counties joined the commission with the town of Culpeper following in 1978. Under new authorizing legislation both the towns of Orange and Gordonsville joined in 1982. The commission is a voluntary association of local governments designed to promote regional cooperation and provide regional and local planning assistance to local governments in plan-, ning district nine. The Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission under the direction of local elected officials has been involved in land use planning, historic preservation activities, water quality planning, transportation planning, economic development coordination, recreation plans, criminal justice and youth services planning, and a wide range of other activities in the five-county area. Rappahannock County representatives on the PDC board include J. Richard Latham and Colonel E. P. Luke.

Rappahannock County School News Girl’s Volleyball Official Now Rappahannock High School Principal Robert Chappell asked the school board last week for official sanction of the girls’ volleyball team. The team presently exists as an informal organization at the school. Chappell said that he was required to provide for mal notice to the Bull Run district within a few weeks in order for a schedule of competition to be arranged. Chappell estimated that the girls would play about 13 games - six or seven of them home games. Funds would be needed for transportation as well as for a coach.

GOLDEN CORRAL “It Makes Good Horse Sense To Eat At The Golden Corral" L101 W. 14th St., Front Royal __636-2839 -FOOT FACTSDr. Bruce Vogel Podiatrist Foot Specialist i “Growing Pains” Many patients will bring their children into the office because they are complaining of pain in their feet and legs. The pain is often directly attributed to a poorly functioning foot. As a matter of fact, it is quite common for a flatfooted child to complain of aching leg muscles, especially after activity. When the foot is not functioning properly, excessive stress is placed on these leg muscles and they may go into spasm. All children will complain of some discomfort in parts of their body from time to time, but recurrent pain in the same area should be followed up. A public service with the aim of promoting a better foot health environment.

You’re not locked into a low bid.” OS HA Report Superintendent Robert Estabrook addressed safety violations at the bus shop cited by an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) inspectolr. The violation8(no tire safety cage, open pulleys, holes in the floor and more) were either corrected by the school administration or deemed by the inspector not important enough to correct before the construction of a new facility, Estabrook said. Warrants Before voting to pay the warrants, Eastham proposed that there be a cut-off date for warrants approved by the board at each month’s meeting. “We don’t have time to review them properly," the Wakefield board members aid. “If you could include the warrants in the packets we receive a week before the meeting then we could properly study them.” The concensus of the board was to do as Eastham recommended. Pop Quiz Request James Dennis, member of the victorious RCHS pop quiz team, appeared before the board with a request for transportation to and from future matches. He also thanked some of those who had helped the winning team in various ways: Glenn Davis for the use of the buzzer board; sponsors Cindy Wayland, Roger Flinchum and Brion Patterson, Principal Robert Chappell, and all those who provided practice for the team. School board members granted Dennis’s request and each one in turn congratulated him and his teammates for their success. SCC Upholds Centel Hike The State Corporation Commission (SCC) has determined that a temporary rate increase of $2.2 million authorized last September for the Central Telephone Co. of Virginia is fair and reasonable and shall be allowed to remain in effect. The Commission in September denied an additional $3 million annual hike that had been sought by the company. In addition, the SCC sliced $25,000 from the original request of the company, reducing the surcharge percent by which it is being collected from 5.77 percent to 5.7 percent. Centel, with headquarters in Charlottesville, serves about 165,000 customers in 30 Virginia counties. Its service in Rappahannock includes the town of Washington, Flint Hill, Huntly and Chester Gap. r CREWS WORKED around the clock from Thursday night until Tuesday to clear county roads. Pushing two feet and more accumulation from highways left mountains of snow at crossovers and shoulders. Jail Funding In Hands Of Joint Conferees (vonunuea rrom rage l; won’t fall between the cracks.” Guest and Rappahannock Sheriff W. A. Buntin convinced the House Committee to include the money in the budget in a meeting with the House Appropriations’ Public Safety Subcommittee late last month. The House bill also includes money for three other jail projects: in Gloucester County, the city of Lynchburg and for a joint facility for Madison and Culpeper counties. The Senate bill only calls for money for Gloucester County’s jail. Guest said a lot depends on whether the House or the Senate bill is used as a “vehicle.” That is legislative jargon for the bill that will be used as the starting point for amendments and compromise. If the House bill is picnea, ne saia, nappanannock would be better off, since money for the jail reimbursement is already in that budget. He said the House bill will likely be used but that he has “nothing other than tradition and gut reaction to base that on.” “It is my understanding that the House bill will be used as the vehicle,” Senator Miller confirmed on Tuesday. In previous years, the House has handled the budget and referred it to the Senate at the end of the session for review. But this year for the first time, the Senate Finance Committee worked on its own budget at the start of the session. The leadership of both houses is reportedly trying to decide which bill to use as the vehicle for the amended budget which must be approved by the full Assembly. Apply Early For Nursing Course Applications for Piedmont Technical Education Center’s practical nursing class, scheduled to begin in late August 1983, are currently available. Since several steps are involved in the acceptance procedure, it is recommended that interested persons begin the process immediately. Adults of any age as well as high school juniors or seniors may apply for the program. The applications and information may be obtained by contacting Piedmont Technical Education Center or high school guidance counselor. Applicants will be scheduled and given a skills test, including basic math, and an interview with members of the nursing staff. A dental examination report must also be filed with the school. All of these steps must be completed by February 28. No applications will be accepted after that date. There is no tuition charge to residents of Orange, Madison, Culpeper, or Rappahannock Counties. However, the cost for the books, uniforms, and other expenses is approximately $900.00 - $1,000.00 for the 18 months. Only 24 applicants can be accepted so it is very important to apply early. A total of 180 candidates have graduated from the program since it was begun in 1968. In the last six years, 98 percent of the graduates have passed the State Board of Nursing Exam and have been licensed to practice the art of nursing. WASHINGTON’S BIRTHDAY SPECIAL Feb. 19 thru 26 r Wrangler a Clothing Ladies and Men’s 20% OFF Rappahannock Farmer’s Co>op Sparryvilla, Va. 987-8555 Record Storm Blankets County (Continued from Page 1) complaints regarding driveways blocked by piles of snow pushed off the road by highway crews. “We have no other option. The snow has to go somewhere,” he said. “We’re sorry we’re doing it but we have to,” Bywaters said, suggesting that residents throw snow they’ve shoveled from their driveways in the direction that traffic is going. “That might help some. There won’t be as much snow coming back in the driveway when the plow goes by,” the maintenance supervisor concluded. Police reported a quiet weekend. “We didn’t have any problems,” said state trooper R. A. Baines, adding that none of the three troopers assigned to Rappahannock had worked any ac indents since the snow storm. “I think most people sire staying off the roads. It’s really been quiet.” “We’ve had no dire emergencies, no problems we had to answer,” noted Sheriff W. A. Buntin. Deputies John Gkxllewski and Todd Brown volunteered as temporary wrecker service, using their four-wheel drive vehicles to pull stranded motorists out of snow drifts. Brown also assisted social worker Mary Wilkins with delivery of kerosene to a household without electricity, Buntin reported. Emergency service volunteers were busier than police, battling old man winter’s fury to reach sites of fires and medical emergencies. Sperry vules Volunteer Fire Department answered a call early Friday morning at Mack Nicholson’s residence on Eldon Farms near Woodville, according to Steve Leake. “We never did get the trucks all the way to it. We couldn’t get within a mile. We had to use a fourwheel drive tractor and when we got to the house, Mrs. Nicholson had the fire out,” he said. Leake added that the woman had broken through the chimney with an axe and tossed water on the blaze when it appeared that the fir£ department wouldn’t fie able to reach the site. “If she hadn’t had the good sense to do that, the whole house could have gone up.” Amissville’s volunteers^ responded to an alert on a heart attack Friday afternoon when the storm was at its peak. ‘We got as close as we could with the ambulance and then sent a fourwheel drive vehicle in to bring the patient out,” reported rescue capti. Carl James. “It took us four and a half hours to make the round trip to Fauquier Hospital and when we got back, the Graduates Earl Yancey of Yancey’s Accounting Service has completed the requirements for his Certified Public Accounting (CPA) degree. Yancey’s Accounting, located in Viewtown since 1972, offers a full line of bookkeeping and tax services. snow was so deep between the highway and the firehall that the ambulance got stuck. We couldn’t get back to the station until the next morning.” But the station was never unmanned. James couldn’t reach his home so he stayed at the station, serving as host to two groups of motorists stranded in Amissville by the almost-blizzard. Sunday morning, Amissville’s volunteers were called to a chimney fire on Route 640. “We could only get to within a half mile. Then we had to walk the rest of the way with packs,” James reported. “Castleton was dispatched to the same chimney fire but they couldn’t even get their truck out of the fire hall.” At the same time, a call came in from Primavera, the alcohol treatment center at Rixeyville, of a patient struck by seizures. “We got stuck and had to be pulled out by a tractor,” James said. “Then we walked in and got the patient stabi lized. After a four-wheel drive vehicle and a tractor cleared the road, we went in with the ambulance and picked him up.” FAUQUIER LIVESTOCK EXCHANGE ■ NCOWrOWATKD HORSE SALE 2nd Sat., 1 p.m., Esary Month STATEGRADE FAT CATTLE 1st Tims. 1 p.m. E»ory Month 1 Mils East of Marshall Rt. 55 PHONE 364-1566 WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU HAD YOUR EYEGLASS RX FILLED IN 1 HOUR? 636-2020 531 E.
