The low bid of $126,000 submitted by Whitehead-Leach Construction Co, a Richmond firm, was not accompanied by a bid bond as specified in the advertisment requesting bids. (Tuesday’s bid opening was the second for the board. The job had been bid previously, with a low bid received from Baughan Construction Company, a Luray firm, of $138,871. A determination was made by the board’s lawyer that the bidding procedures did not follow the stipulations of the new public procurement act in force as of January 1 of this year. The board subsequently re-advertised the bidding for the project, placing ads in several local papers of general circulation, as required.) A spokesman for Whitehead-Leach present at the meeting told the board that his company, as a matter of policy, did not submit bid bonds with their bids because of the large amount of bidding activity taking place. He said that his reading of the specifications indicated that the board had the right to waive this requirement if it desired. Chairman Beverly Massie, saying that the board was to meet with architect Lowell Baughan to (Continued on Page 3) Roadside Theater To Perform On March 18 at 8:00 p.m. Roadside Theater will perform its newest musical, SOUTH OF THE MOUNTAIN, at The Gay St. Theater, Wash., Va. The performance by the nation, all-acclaimed traveling theater company is being sponsored by The Rappahannock Association for Arts and the Community. SOUTH OF THE MOUNTAIN is the story of two generations of a family as they face the dramatic changes of moving from a mountain farm to an industrial way of life. Based largely on the reflections of the author’s kin, the production blends their stories with a dozen original songs (accompanied by guitar, banjo, and fiddle) to portray an experience common throughout the nation. The Nashville Tennessean recently called SOUTH OF THE MOUNTAIN “a stellar work”, and added that, Support Heard On Building Program By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock News Staff Writer Several members of the community appeared before the Rappahannock School Board to express their support of the Superintendent’s budget presented at last week’s meeting. The board had set aside a portion of its regular meeting to hear public response to the proposed budget. Richard Smith of the Rappahannock County Educational Association spoke to express the concerns of his organization. The RCEA supports the full teacher salary increase of 11%, Smith told the board. Smith compared the salary levels of Rappahannock teachers with both the national and the state averages. The Rappahannock average of $13,384 compares most unfavorably with the national average of $20,531 and the state average salary of $18,676. In fact, Smith said, the Rappahannock average places the county at 123rd of 135 school districts in the state. >, Smith gave further examples in his written presentation. A teacher with a spouse and one child qualifies for reduced lunch benefits in his eighth year of teaching. A teacher with a spouse and two children qualifies for reduced lunch benefits in his sixteenth year of teaching. Even with the 11% increase as requested in the superintendent’s salaray proposal, a teacher with a spouse and one child would still qualify for reduced lunch benefits in his fifth year of teaching and a teacher with a spouse and two children would qualify for reduced lunch benefits in his eleventh year of teaching, Smith said. To further illustrate the impact of low present salaries on the life of Rappahannock teachers, Smith gave the actual disposition of the paycheck of a teacher. “It is clear from these figures,” he said, “that the school board does not intend for its teachers to become property owners or, in fact, to live normally withouth the help of a spouse employed fulltime.” Smith opposed the hospitalization plan included in the superintendent’s budget. Three percent of the salary of a teacher is presently paid by the administration toward hospitalization. Smith said that, except in rare cases of a high level teacher with no dependents, this amount falls woefully short of the actual cost of hospitalization insurance. He added that presently 124 districts (of the 135 in Virginia) pay all or part of the employee’s hospitalization costs. Forty districts, including neighboring Fauquier and Warren counties pay full coverage. Full hospitalization serves as an untaxed income benefit, Smith said, providing teachers with personal security and an intangible morale boost. Smith gave the support of the RCEA to the superintendent’s proposal to proceed with a building program at the high school. Saying that the proposal was “obviously sensible”, he added that further delay would result in increased costs and mounting difficulties in securing available funds. Charles Eldred spoke in support of the superintendent’s building program proposal. Presently $21,000 for (Continued on Page 3) “pride, dignity and self-appreciation mark the lives we hear about and come to see plainly.” The unique theatrical style that Roadside Theater has developed is drawn from the storytelling, church, and musical traditions that all of its members grew up with in the Appalachian mountains. For an exciting experience of live theater at its best, plan to attend Roadside Theater’s SOUTH OF THE MOUNTAIN on March 18, 1983. Tickets are $4.00 for students, $5.00 for RAAC members and $6.00 for non-RAAC members. For information and tickets call Middle St. Gallery, 6753440. The Roadside Theater will also be performing “Mountain Tales” at 1:30 p.m. for senior citizens and high school students, followed by an oral history play wrighting workshop for Madison and Rappahannock drama students. GETTING READY FOR THE FASHION PARADE—Customers at the Rappahannock Co-op had a sneak preview of the Women’s Club Spring Fashion show last week as Hubert Gilkey, Wakefield District supervisor, tried on ensembles he will model. The annual event takes place this year at 2:00 on March 20 at the Elementary School. ! Judge Keeps Record Sealed, At Least Until Kid well Trial By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The record on two hearings held to date in the murder trial of Diane Elizabeth Kidwell will remain sealed —> at least until after the case goes to a jury sometime in late March. In Leesburg on Tuesday, Circuit Court Judge Thomas Horne maintained that he would be “derelict" in his responsibility if he granted a motion from the Rappahannock News to open the record on two “closed door” hearings and pleadings filed in the case. “This court is not in a position to win a popularity contest,” Home said, emphasizing that he must balance his responsibility to ensure that the defendant and the Commonwealth get a fair trial against freedom of the press and the public’s right to know. He noted, however, that the case is scheduled to go to trial soon (March 23, 24 and 25) and that he would grant attorney Peter Luke, rep resenting the Rappahannock News, leave to renew his motion to open the record after the trial. “This court certainly would be in a different posture at that point in time,” Horne told Luke. The other option, denial of the motion, would have given the Rappahannock News the opportunity to appeal Home’s ruling to the Virginia Supreme Court in Richmond. But a decision from the Supreme Court couldn’t be expected before trial date and possibly wouldn’t come for as long as nine months, according to Luke. Therefore, from a practical standpoint, earliest access to the sealed records lay in agreeing to the judge’s proposal for a continuance until after the trial, the attorney explainded. Spellman Shooting Diane Kidwell is charged with second degree murder in the November 9, 1982, shooting death of Ranee Spellman, manager of Points-of-View Farm near Flint Hill. Spellman was felled by a shotgun blast in the chest while reportedly widening a right-of-way that served the Kidwell property and three lots owned by Patricia Saltonstall, owner of Points-of-View Farm. Kidwell was indicted for murder a month after the shooting following a special grand jury investigation requested by Commonwealth’s Attorney Douglas Baumgardner. In January, acting on advice from the State Bar Association, Baumgardner disqualified himself from persuing the charges on grounds that he might be called as a material witness. In response, Judge Home named Steven Merrill, former assistant prosecutor for Fairfax County who is now in private practice, as special prosecutor. First Amendment issues became involved in the case when Home ordered a February 25 pre-trial hearing on motions closed to the press and the public and the major portion of the record sealed. The Rappahannock News, represented by Luke, immediately lodged a request to re-open the proceedings. With the request denied, the paper then sought status to intervene and presented a motion at Tuesday’s hearing to open the record. Earlier Closure At the outset, Judge Home acknowledged that prior to the February 2!> closed proceedings in Rappahannock, an earlier closed hearing had been held in Leesburg. At the first. Home said, he heard a motion in limini (to limit the scope of evidence that may be introduced at Kidwell’s trial) and at the second, a motion to dismiss the charges against the defendant. The grounds for the two motions and the evidence presented for both are included in the portion of the record that the court has ordered sealed, he noted. (Continued on Page 3) Attack On Land Use PromptsDelay In Ae District Action Faced with sharp crit-. icism of tax breaks afforded farmers, the Rappahannock supervisors on Monday agreed to delay action on an application for a 3,000-plus acre agricultural and forestal district and authorized a study of the impact of land use taxation on the county’s tax base. Two years ago, the board adopted a county-wide use value assessment program that assesses qualifying farm, forest, horticultural at wms-m and open space land at its productive or use value rather than its fair market value or speculative worth for development purposes. Use value taxation applications must be approved annually by the commissioner of revenue. In addition, the differential assessment program is also open to landowners in an agricultural and forestal district who meet minimum acreage and other criteria. The primary difference is that a land owner in the county-wide use value program may withdraw his property at any time, with the only penalty a five-year roll back tax plus interest, while landowners in an ag district contract with the board of s-'pervisors, agreeing to maintain their property in an undeveloped state for a specified time, generally eight years. Landowners in an ag district are also assessed the same roll back tax if their property is con verted to a non-qualifying use. At Monday’s public hearing on the application for the Wakefield agricultural and forestal district, Robert Eastham expressed concern over the fiscal implications of approval of the proposed district. He described the landowners involved in this and two earlier applications as “nouveau environmentalists,” adding that “they’ve all joined the Sierra Club to hear them talk." Eastham questioned whether the aim of the ag district applicants is “ to keep smoke stacks and pollution out of the Jordan River basin...When I look at this (application), I see this - - money,” he said, rubbing thumb and forefinger together. He challenged the fairness of giving special tax benefits to “specifically named individuals” at a time when the county has an ever expanding budget. As a member of the county school board which is currently working on its 198H-H4 budget request, Eastham said he is “ fighting a rear guard action to keep sanity there. It ain’t working,” he added. “You will get a school budget that will curl your hair,” he told the supervisors. “Who the hell is going to pay for it?” Eastham maintained that farmers can’t get an advantage from use value tax(Continued on Page 4) . _ _ _ _ lAAIgHH LCCI A MATCH RACE ended in victory for Jay Barr’s Pill Mill in Saturday’s First Colony Life Insurance owner-rider hurdle event. Open Jumper Wins Rappahannock’s Ben Venue By JUNE RUHSAM Arundel Newspaper* Special Writer Mention Rappahannock Hunt Point-to-Point races and thoughts of happenings unique to this event immediately come to mind...the hound race, horses running down a precipitous mountainside, a hurdle course going the wrong way around, and often wet, windy weather. But on Saturday, another unique event occurred... the Rappahannock Races ran under a warm, blue sky, resulting in a crowd of more than 5,000. New Ben Venue Star The featured Ben Venue owner-rider timber race, second event in the Seven Comers Championship series, and previously dominated by Randolph Rouse— eight time winner in the past 16 years—had a new star this year. Douglas King piloted Bemy’s Shali to victory his second time out, while Rouse, true sportsman that he is, has with drawn from the series. Last week, in his first race, Berny’s Shali ran second to Rouse’s Cinzano in The Casanova Cup, the season’s opener. Bemy’s Shali and his 21year-old owner-rider Douglas King from Marshallton, Pa., are both newcomers to the sport of steeplechasing. The nine-year-old bay gelding is an open jumper, and King plans to show him again this summer. It was the horse’s second race and the rider’s fourth. In this two and one-half mile race Bemy’s Shali took the lead at the third of 14 fences, opening up 15 lengths across the mounainside. Coming into the last fence, Donald Shepherd’s In For A Tag began to close rapidly and stood back for a big fence. Flying down the stretch, he closed to within six lengths of the winner at the finish. Third by a distance was Charles Conaway’s Toasted Lightly, followed by David Semmes’ Phenom. Don Yovanovich pulled up Chief P.O. before the third fence. Match Race Although the Durant Hill owner-rider hurdle race in the First Colony series had only two starters, it was a good match race. Jay Barr’s Pill Mill led for the first turn of the course, but “Chick” Owens’ Starboard Tack took over at the third last hurdle. They jumped together over the next, but Pill Mill landed first over the final hedge and edged out his rival by a scant three-quarters of a length at the finish. Pagan Relic Turf Winner First race on the afternoon’s program was on the flat at three-fourths of a mile. Jeremy Gillam on his David’s Knight stole the start and led until the turn into the stretch where he went wide and Mrs. T. A. Randolph’s Pagan Relic, rid den by Simon Shaw, passed him to win. Third was Judith Moffett’s Cricket’s Shadow, Don Yovanovich riding. Open Timber Winner 1 Is Cookin ’N Lookin The open timber race followed. Oliver Brown’s Roman Hunt, Don Yovanovich up, was in command from the start and over all 14 fences, with Paul Cramer’s Cookin ’N Lookin and Donna’s Prima fighting for the second slot. Then coming dowQjhg stretch, Cookin ’N Lookin, ridden by Randy de Witt, surged forward to snatch the lead and win by three lengths over Roman Hunt. Third by ten lengths was Robert Gibbon’s Native Scramble, J. Robinson riding. Toinette And Maxi Max Take Over In Mt. Salem In the ladies timber race Splashy Lea, ridden by Patti Cassel (four times champion Virginia lady rider and not (Continued on Page 3) Supervisors Ask Will The Money Be There? Will the $81,500 reportedly included in the state budget for reimbursement on half of the estimated $163,000 for Rappahannock’s jail renovation actually be there when the county asks for the money ? That’s the question that the supervisors want answered before they go any further with the construction project. Architect Hunter Spencer reported at Monday’s board meeting that the work is ready to go out on bids with drawings approved by the Fauquier building inspector and the Department of Corrections, contingent upon a few minor changes. But the supervisors agreed to delay placing the advertisement soliciting bids until they receive formal written assurances from the state that reimbursement will be forthcoming. “We’ve had a lot of information from the newspaper but no word from the Department of Corrections,” said chairman J.R. Latham. When can we get the money from their budget into ours?” He proposed wiating for verification from the state “before we put our tiame on any contract.” “We’ve also got to decide how we’re going to fund our half - from surplus this year or do we put it into next year’s budget?” asked Supervisor H.B. Wood. Supervisor Charles Estes questioned whether the board can legally put a construction project out for bids without having included an appropriation in the budget for the project. It looks like we can’t make a move before July (when the next fiscal year begins and a new budget takes effect)...That’s the way it seems to me,” Estes said. “ We ought to have our commonwealth’s attorney look into both (the question of state reimbursement and the legality of pro* ceeding this year without a budget appropriation).” Latham said he thought the 1982-8.'! budget contained sufficient funds for the county’s share of costs if the board wanted to authorize the project for bids. Wood replied with a suggestion that Latham be named as a committee of one to investigate both the issues specified by Estes. If certification on the state reimbursement is secured and the board’s le,gal advisor clears proceeding with money from the current budget for the county’s half, “ do I have authority to put the project out on bids?” Latham asked. Wood answered that the chairman should come back to the board for a go-ahead. E.P. Luke noted that the board must have the county’s money “ up front" for the local share estimated at $81,5000. “Gentlemen, I have the solution for you,” volunteered school board member Robert Eastham. “Freeze the damn school budget and build the jail!” “How about freezing both?” asked Wood. “No, we’ve got to have the jail,” Eastham replied. In his presentation to the board, architect Hunter Spencer reported that a sprinkler system for the cell block remains in the renova tion plans. He noted that the Department of Corrections had agreed to omission of the sprinklers, contingent upon approval of Fauquier’s building inspector (who handles inspections for Rappahannock on a fee basis). “He prefers the sprinkler system be left in the cell block area,” Spencer said. The architect noted that a television monitoring system, proposed as an alternative to having corrections officers monitoring prisoners around the clock, was i Continued on Page 3) k

Quality Marks Crafts At Country Heritage By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New« Staff Writer With the opening in Washington this week of Country Heritage, artisans from as far away as California will join the ranks of talented craftspeople exhibiting in Rappahannock County. Jim and Nan Thomasson will offer American handicrafts by 60-some artists from all over the United States. They have pottery, dried flower wreaths and arrangements, quilted pillows, placemats, purses and aprins, soft sculptures of Canadian geese and mallards, old fashioned wood toys, raggedy Anns and Andys, critter cages for spiders and other creepy-crawlies, baskets, herbal hot plates that exude wonderful aromas while protecting the table, tinware, folk art, reproductions of antique dolls and much more. The hundreds of craft items are also part of the decorations for antique furniture offered for sale in the shop. A beautiful quilt covers a walnut bed. Wooden toys are scattered around a grouping of oak furniture in the kids’ comer. Hand dipped candles in a rainbow of colors brighten up the dining room nook. The atmosphere is more like that of a comfortable country home than a business, a reflection of the time and energy that the couple devotes to their joint enterprise. “We’ve combined my interest in crafts with Jim’s interest in furniture. He acquires and refinishes and I manage the crafts and the shop itself,” Nan explained. They followed a round about path to Rappahannock. When they came to the D.C. area 16 years ago, relocating from the Midwest in order for Jim to take a job teaching theology at Georgetown University, they missed the country life they were used to. “We’ve always been more country oriented in our likes than big city oriented.

They found a hideaway in Madison County’s Berry Hollow. For years, Nan had pursued an interest in crafts, making the rounds at the large craft fairs in the D.C. and Baltimore area. She borrowed the Berry Hollow name, renewed all those contacts she had made at the fairs, collected enough craft items to start a little retail business and then opened up a shop near the family’s home in Silver Spring. “But once we opened Berry Hollow in the city, we never got to Berry Hollow in the country anymore so we started looking a little closer for land,” Nan said. Their second find was on Blackwater Creek in Rappahannock. “Our intention was to build a place for weekends and holidays but the more we came out, the harder it was to go back to the city,” she recalled. The Thomassons decided they’d rather switch than fight so they sold their shop in the city, rented space at the Clopton House in Washington for the newly dubbed Country Heritage and sat down at the drawing board to refine plans for a home at Blackwater Creek. “We’re building the house itself—a large log cabin—from the land itself. We’re hoping it will be ready by the end of this summer but it will probably be the end of next summer before we can move out here full-time,” Nan reported. For now, they’ve established a permanent camp site and commute on the weekends. “Our friends thought we were crazy but it’s a dream we wanted to pursue while we still have the energy.

Four crafters reviewed everything for us in Silver Spring,” Nan reported. She also has the background herself to judge quality. “I’ve always dabbled in crafts. I spent a whole winter in a potter’s studio and another winter with a weaver,” Nan said. Recently, she had a day’s worth of impromptu lessons in basket weaving from Williamsburg’s master of the craft. “I’ve never stayed in one craft long enough to achieve the excellence I demand for our shop but it’s given me a real appreciation for what goes into a wall hanging or a pot.” As a spin off of their Berry Hollow venture, the Thomassons organized the craft fair for Takoma Park’s Folk Festival for five years. “We have visions for Rappahannock County in terms of that, too,” Nan said. She sees that a local festival growing out of Washington’s annual Independance Day celebrations or developing from a separate new event, say an apple day in September or October. It would give local artists and craftspeople fresh sales opportunities, Nan noted. “It might be a way to bring revenue into the county. And it’s fun, too.” Estate Eileen M. Day realtor equal housing OPPORTUNITY PROPERTY VALUE “Value” is one of the words heard most often in the areas of real estate and building. “What’s my home worth now?” “What’s my lot worth?” ‘What will my home be worth five years from now?” “How much more will my home be worth if I install air conditioning?” “How much value will a garage add?” These are some of the recurring questions we hear all the time. They’re fair questions, to say the least. If you’re going to buy a home for, say, $55,000, you have a right to know the value of your investment. Many factors affect the value of a home. For example, if you buy a home on the outskirts of a city, with a few miles of highway separating your place from the city limits, the directional growth of the city must be considered. If the town is growing in your direction, chances are your property value will increase, but this could depend on WHICH section of the city is going in your direction! Point of information: Realtors can advise you on current or future value of property. But, if you require an official appraisal for legal or investment purposes, get it from a qualified Real Estate Appraiser. Not all Realtors are official appraisers. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦it♦♦♦♦ If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M.

At Races (Continued from rage 1) three as incorrectly stated last week), led for the first turn of the course. Susan Sutula and her Too Far Gone jumped with them going uphill the second time. Then down Mason Mountain they careened, around the turn into the infield, and there John H. Wagner’s Maxi Max, held off the pace by NSHA leading lady rider, Toinette Jackson, took over, jumping to the front over the last two fences to win. Splashy Lea was second and Too Far Gone was third. Hurdle Race Split The Rappahannock Hurdle Race, with 13 entries was split. In the first division, Don Diz, the early leader, fell at the last fence when Double Sparkle and Sheila Jones jumped with him. Double Sparkle, owner “Chick” Owens aboard, was a three-length winner over Larry Levy’s Sheila Jones. ndden by Don Yovanovich. Third by another six lengths was Mrs. T. A. Randolph’s Tingle’s Image, “Speedy” Smithwick riding. In the second division, the leader Celestial Empire lost his rider midway in the race. Marilyn Ketts’ Fresh Escapade, ridden by Barry Wiseman, then took charge and shaking off challenges by Ahwaz and Tucks Luck over the last two hurdles, prevailed to win by a length over Venture Stables’ Tucks Luck, Joey Stettinius riding. Third by another three was Mrs. Ogden Phipps’ Ahwaz, Bill Martin up. Seven Juniors Finish The junior race went off in three divisions. In the small pony section the two Gillam girls, wearing their father Jeremy’s maroon and white colors, were the only contestants. Amanda on Cinnamon Twist beat Diana on Little Munchkin. The very professional looking and riding duo of Or la Magee on Blizzard and Dawn Dugan on Sharp Start competed for the large pony division, with Sharp Start the winner. Grand old steeplechaser Just A Tinch won the horse division for rider Woods Winants, repeating his victory four years ago for owner Rog Smithwick. Second was Poacher’s Gal, ridden by Charles Graham, over Peter Winants’ First Jim, ridden by Cricket Bedford. Competitive Foxhunters The Foxhunters’ ownerrider race had seven very competitive entries. Juliet Bishop’s Brigstock, winner at Casanova, led for the first mile. Then William Russell’s Mozambique went to the front and was never headed as they galloped across the mounainside. Sally Cunningham’s Mac Sub closed fast on the leader coming up the stretch but was two lengths behind at the wire. Brigstock was third. Hounds Wind Up Day The hound race, favorite local event, ended the day’s sport. Huntsman Oliver Brown laid the drag over the timber course, and immediately the 45 individually owned foxhounds began working the scent. Jack Bruce’s Ring was the very decisive winner, being first at all check points and across the finish line. It was the fifth win for a Bruce hound. Second was another Bruce entry, Redmond. The next two to finish were Kelly Corbin’s Susie, last year’s winner, and Joe Corbin tied Bruce with a record five victories. Support (Continued from Page 1) architect’s initial fees is included in the budget proposal for the coming year. Tliis would enable the architect to turn the superintendent’s proposed design into plans and specifications with a cost analysis of the construction program. Basically, the proposed construction calls for a new gymnasium building with the present gym space reorganized into classroom and auditorium remodeling. Eldred also lent his support to the superintendent’s proposal to improve the lighting at both schools. Barbara Dennis, president of the Rappahannock High School Booster Club also spoke in support of the money proposed under capital outlay. “Without this money there will be no hope of better conditions at the high school,” Dennis said.“With it, we may be taking a first step toward WORLD WAR II FLYERS AND AIRPLANE BUFFS Are You Interested In Preserving The Planes Of Yesterday?

Sharon Kilpatrick supported the pay raise for teachers and the money allocated to begin plans for new construction. She opposed the hiring of a new kindergarten teacher, saying that the kindergarten load could be more properly handled by aids, leaving a room available for Judy Bomberger, the music teacher, to have a permanent music room. Bomberger’s classroom has been unavailable for two years, Kilpatrick said, because of space demands at the elementary school. Kilpatrick also asked the board to reconsider its yearly contribution to Piedmont for the vocational training of Rappahannock students. “For this amount($88,502) surely we could supply the teachers and courses to replace Piedmont’s offerings,” Kilpatrick said. “And this would save the children the hour and a half-long commuting. With additional space at the high school, this problem could be solved as well.” Kidwell Record Still Sealed Continued from Page 1 In arguing for an open record, Luke relied primarily on a recent Virginia Supreme Court case, Richmond Newspapers v. Commonwealth, which outlines procedures which must be followed before a hearing can be closed. Horne maintained that the Supreme Court ruling involved only hearings on the suppression of evidence, something that’s not an issue in the Kidwell case. “The language in Richmond Newspapers Commonwealth is broad enough to cover all pre-trial hearings. . . incriminal cases,” Luke countered, arguing that the justices, in their ruling, used the terms “suppression hearing” and “pretrial hearing” interchangeably. In addition, he said, a motion to limit evidence is tantamount to a motion for supression of evidence. Luke maintained tha procedures outlined by the Supreme Court hadn’t been followed in that the defense had failed to file a written motion for closure 24 hours in advance of the hearing and the Court had not given interested parties notice and an opportunity to argue against closure. “If the motion itself to close may prejudice the defendant or prejudice other parties, how is the court to give notice?” Home asked, adding that such a motion may involve a “collateral matter.” “I’m arguing in the dark,” said Luke, “I’m not sure what is a collateral matter.” “I’m trying to give you enough light so you can argue intelligently,” the judge replied. He pointed out that the right to limit access to the grand jury’s report rest entirely with the court. Preserving the confidentiality of that report is in the interests of due process and safeguards Diane Kidwell’s right and the right of the Commonwealth to a fair trial, Horne said. In grand jury''proceedings, requirement for secrecy are imposed only on the grand jurors, not on witnesses or attorneys, Luke countered. “So it what we’re talking about is evidence given before the grand jury,” then the same cloak of secrecy that the court may wrap around the grand jury’s report doesn’t apply, he said. Luke noted that Kidwell’s former counsel, David Konick, testified before the grand jury and was one of two people subpeonaed to appear at February 25’s closed hearing. “No privilege attaches to him,” Luke said. Home restated that he must maintain the “delicate balance” between the defendant’s right to a fair trial and the public’s right to know. At the same time, the procedures for closure set out in Richmond Newspapers v. Commonwealth must be followed, countered Luke. He repeated that the motion for closure must be filed in advance and at least one day’s notice given to the public by posting same on the court house door. Motion Sealed “A written motion was filed and it has been sealed,” Home answered. If the court is afraid that publicizing the motion will jeopardize the defendant’s right to a fair trial, then notice of a hearing for closure — without citing specific grounds — can still be posted, Luke countered. In addition, the hearing on the closure motion can be held in chambers in confidential information must be discussed. “But the threshhold inquiry is supposed to be a public hearing. . . I don’t think it took place. (If it didn’t) the only remedy is to open the record,” Luke maintained, noting that the law doesn’t provide for civil or criminal penalties. If the procedures weren’t folowed, “it violates the Virginia Constitution,” he argued. If a motion for a closed hearing can be kept secret by including the confidential grounds for the motion, “you could defeat the Richmond Newspapers case every time... Then the other side, the public, isn’t even in the ballgame because they don’t even know the motion has been filed,” Luke said. Home replied that he had announced the closure in open court, thereby giving public notice. “Notice means giving somebody enough lead time to be prepared,” Luke argued. Privileged Matters Judge Horne requested the attorney to address “the concept of privilege versus the public’s right to know... attorney-client privilege, husband-wife, priest-penitent.” Privilege is “an all or nothing situation,” Luke said. A client has the right to attorney-client privilege but if that privilege is waived to allow the attorney to testify for the client’s benefit before the grand jury, then the privilege stays waived—it can’t be re-in voked in late proceedings, Luke said. “The cat’s in the bag or the cat’s out of the bag. There’s no half-way.” “All right, let’s get into ethics. . . Ethics versus the public’s right to know,” Horne responded. If unethical conduct has occurred and that is the grounds for the closure, then the defense must show that public testimony regarding that unethical conduct would prejudice the defendant’s right to a fair trial, Luke maintained. There’s privilege attached to testimony before a bar commission (regarding unethical conduct), Home said. “But this doesn’t involve bar proceedings,” maintained Luke. “What if it doesn’t involve this case?” asked Home. “Then this court shouldn’t hear it,” Luke said. And if the reason for closing the pre-trial hearings is so collateral to the case that it doesn’t relate to Diane Kidwell’s guilt or innocense, then the record should be opened, he said. Luke pointed out that Virginia’s Supreme Court rarely sets down rules, specifying that certain things must be done in certain instances. That the justices did so in Richmond Newspapers v. Commonwealth in evidence that they feel strongly about the procedures for closing hearings, he said. Public Confidence “Finally, we have the First Amendment,” Luke said, stressing the importance of public confidence in the judicial system, confidence that depends on legal proceedings conducted in public. “If we have a system in which the public looses confidence, we’re not going to have an effective system,” he warned. If there is a defect in the grand jury system or in the way privilege is interpreted, “the only way we can reform (the system) is by having its weaknesses pointed out, Luke added. Noting that he had expressed reservations on the closure of the February 25 hearing, prosecutor Steven Merrill said he didn’t know how to resolve the conflict between the public’s right to know and the defendant’s right to a fair trial. He suggested that the court separate the grand jury report and testimony given “strictly before the grand jury” and open the rest of the record. “The court would have to cull through (the no sealed portion) because it made portions of the grand jury’s report part of the record,” Merrill added. “It’s very difficult to make an effective argument against Mr. Luke because of the court’s sanctions on me,” said John Dowd, half of Kidwell’s defense team. He noted that the record is clear that both the prosecution and the defense agreed to the closure. “The peculiar facts require that, not only to protect the rights of Mrs. Kidwell but certain privileged information and the rights of innocent parties,” he maintained. As Kidwell’s advocate, Dowd said he had “great difficulty” with the notice requirement closure motions os set out by the Virginia Supreme Court. “Who do you give notice to? The Rappahannock News? The Star Exponent? The Washington Post? The New York Times? To me, it defies common sense. . . Where does it stop? They're not parties to this proceeding.” As to Merrill’s suggestion for separating the information in the record and only keeping part sealed, “I don’t think you could split it in half,” said Down. “1 don’t know how long it would take to unravel (the testimony at the February 25 hearing). We’d have to go through it line by line.” “It was not only Diane Kidwell but the Commonwealth’s Attorney of Rappahannock County (Douglas Baumgardner) who urged me to make the motion (for closure),” Dowd continued. “I understand he’s written a letter saying he wats it opened up now. . . I don’t think that’s fair.” “I never agreed one way or another (to the closure),” Merrill interjected, noting he wanted the record clear. In stating that he would deny Luke’s motion if the Rappahannock News didn’t agree to a continuance until after Kidwell’s trial, Judge Home stressed that his decision for closure was not made lightly. “The decision was made after a great deal of thought. . . This case is different from anything I saw as a prosecutor,” said Loudoun’s former commonwealth’s attorney. “It’s different from anything in the lawbooks.” Bus Shop Bids (Continued from Page 1) discuss the bids, told the contractors present that the board would postpone its decision until the next meeting, March 15. The next lowest bidders were Lantz Construction Company of Broadway with a bid of $133,235 and E. Russell Smoot and Son, Inc. of Culpeper, with a bid of $136,800. Both of these bids were accompanied by a bond. Baughan Construction Company was the fourth lowest bidder with a total of $137,231. Massie said that the meeting with the architect this week would also clarify any changes or deletions from the specifications bid previously. Also submitting bids were Adorn, Inc. of Staunton, H. Driver & Co. of New Market, C. Wm. Hartman, Inc. of Bealeton, Kehoe Construction Company of Bealeton, J.S. Mathers Co. of Waynesboro. Four other companies had requested specifications but did not submit a bid. tMu|uMM|c4M|l4M|C*)|C Board Seeks Promise On State Jail Money Continued from Page 1 not a part of the renovation plans. “There’s no requirement from Richmond for television,” he said. He added, however, that drawings include a sound system and smoke detectors. Pointing out that prisoners can reach the heads of the sprinklers from their cells, Estes suggested that the sprinkler system be deleted. He added that the sound system and smoke detectors remove the necessity for the sprinklers, particularly considering the problems with prisoner access to the heads and less than adequate water pressure. His proposal was unanimously endorsed by the board. In another jail-related matter, the supervisors authorized Sgeriff W.A, Buntin to pay for $3,800 worth of radio equipment from his current departmental budget. The sheriffs base radio will be part of the central dispatch for fire and rescue which will be housed in the renovated jail. Fire and Rescue Association representative Gene Leggett reported that all the equipment, including that paid for through an Emergency Services grant and local match, has arrived and is being stored at the distributer’s in Front Royal, awaiting completion of the jail project. Grant funds covered the cost of the tower and telephones which will be used jointly by law enforcement and fire and rescue but the money can’t be used for the sheriffs radio equipment, which will be reserved solely for law enforcement purposes. The board members also authorized Buntin to place orders by the April 1 deadline for two replacement patrol cars. The automobiles, at approximately $1(5,000 for two, will be paid for out of the 1983-84 budget. “That’s one more cent on the tax rate,” Latham noted. Bahia.

Audit Bureau of Circulation J THURSDAY, MARCH 10,1983 Unwarranted Attack Donnie Johnston, the Culpeper News’ columnist in a cowboy hat, has been taking potshots at Rappahannock County for some time now. He has described the county as the last bastion of Wild West lawlessness , despite the fact that Rappahannock’s crime rate is about a third of that posted by his home county of Culpeper. If he doesn’t like us, that’s fine. We don’t want him to join the steady flow of immigrants who have fallen in love with Rappahannock - it’s mountains and its people. But he should stick to the facts, something he failed to do in last week’s column. Johnston charges that the handling of the upcoming murder trial of Diane Kidwell reeks of politics and asks why Commonwealth’s Attorney Douglas Baumgardner “suddenly disqualified himself from prosecuting the case.” He asks why defense attorneys were barred from speaking with Sheriff W. A. Buntin until last Friday. Defense attorneys were not barred from speaking with Buntin. Acting on advice from the Bar Association’s legal counsel and after discussing the matter with the circuit court judge hearing the case, Baumgardner disqualified himself on the grounds that he might be called as a material witness. (And he was subpeonaed for a pre-trial hearing held February 25.) It would be a disservice to all parties concerned if we repeated the rumors Johnston referred to in his column. If the allegations he made are true, the facts will come out at the trial set for March 23. Then and only then, do they merit publication. Johnston notes that there are people “who believe that this case will make the county look so bad that it may still never come to trial.” In a letter to the Culpeper News replying to Johnston’s irresponsible broadside, Sheriff Buntin suggests that the columnist be assigned to cover the trial “so he can stop speculating and learn what the truth is.” We second that proposal. .And until he learns the facts, we suggest that cowboy Johnston keep his guns in their holsters. RAAC Plans Photo Session The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community will sponsor a photography workshop on Saturday, March 12, from noon to 4:30 at Spectra School in Flint Hill. Tim Kilby, a native of Rappahannock who graduated from the Rochester Institute of Technology and received a National Endow ment for the Arts award, will lead the workshop. The theme of the afternoon session will be “seeing photographically.” The workshop is open to interested high school students and adults, photographers and nonphotographers alike. Participants should bring several prints or slides of their work, even if they work in another medium. Camera equipment will not be needed. The workshop will cost $10 for students and RAAC members, $15 for nonRAAC members.

Some of the faces have changed, but the acts are the same. Just when I thought things were on an even keel, good old prejudice steps in and stands tall. Recent happenings at Rappahannock High are teaching our children there is no justice in being honest. In fact, there is no justice at all. A student’s good reputation and personal record stands for nothing. Justice comes in the form of the administration believing heresay evidence and punishing a student with an unblemished record “to the limit.” An “honor student” takes a sip of Seven-up, handed to her by a school mate, not knowing that it is spiked with gin. She is turned in, along with 18 other students, some innocent and some not, in the latest round of drinkingrelated incidents at the high school. No amount of explanation will change things. The verdict: suspension, humiliation, 3 days away from school. For some, the punishment is light, for others more stringent. Last year some members of the basketball team, as well as cheerleaders, were caught drinking. The verdict: “a slap on the hand” - promise to be good and we’ll let you off scott free this time. Yes, discrimination is alive and well, however you want to look at things. Take the black and white aspect, which says if you are one color it is alright for you to do anything and repeat the act as often as you see fit. We will only slap you hard and say don t do it again. Take the parent versus administration aspect. The parents are called in to be talked “at”, not “with”. Parents’ concerns, suggestions, and feelings are falling on deaf ears. Turn again and look at discrimination from the well-to-do versus the struggling class viewpoint. In this county, your name is everything: you’re either established “top dog” or just still climbing. Punishment is dished out accordingly. However you look at it, I feel like I’m fighting a losing battle. I would like to know just what counts in this county: people, education, and just plain living-wise. I personally have been given the knife a couple of times too many while fellow citizens go on their merry ways. I think it’s high time that the school board and the high school administration take a long and hard look at the appropriateness of the school’s disciplinary system. In your recent efforts to “crack down”, you as a school system have lost a lot: your reputation, your fairness, your sense of justice, your concern about our children’s educations and their personal self-esteem, parents’ confidence and trust. Hundreds of parents and high school students out there are upset. I am not alone. It is time for things to change. ARLENE FRYE Sperryville •Attack On Land Use Prompts Delay Continued from Page 1 ation without hurting somebody else, claiming that since land use has been in force, property taxes assessed against ineligible landowners have risen 25 percent while landowners in the program have seen their tax bills drop 34 to 64 percent. “What have these ineligibles done to the eligibles to really hurt them?” Eastham stopped short of asking the supervisors to deny the Wakefield ag district application. He requested instead that they table action until they get an impact study on use value taxation, reminding the board members that they had asked for such a study at the end of the first year when they initially approved the county-wide differential assessment program. The “so-called report” presented by the commissioner of revenue at that time “ said nothing” about the effect of land use on the tax burden, Eastham maintained. The study should show how many of Rappahannock’s landowners are eligible for use value taxation, he said. Eastham also asked for data on the average tax increases over the past two years levied on property in and out of the differential assessment program. “Every one of these (tax payers), may I remind you, is a voter.” “I’m generally in favor of agricultural and forestal districts,” said Col. E.P. Luke, former chairman of the board of supervisors. He noted, however, that the county is going to need money in the near future to pay for capital improvements for the high school, to buy property for a landfill, to fund county services and to finance a re-assessment in 1984. “How many ag districts are you 1 going to allow? The whole county?” Luke said that the earlier report from the commissioner of revenue on the impact of land use “doesn’t tell you anything” on who is bearing the local tax burden. He seconded Eastham’s proposal on a delay in action on the Wakefield ag district application and a second study on the effect of use value taxation. “Otherwise, we’re running blindly from crisis to crisis.” Luke called for public discussion of the general concept of differential assessments and specifically, the feasibility of including forest land in the program. Most of Rappahannock’s “idle forest land” is not being managed so as to produce a product, he said. “It’s just woods growing up with weeds and vines in a natural wilderness state.” If an ag district is approved at the current per acre values set for the differential assessment program, “ are you locked into those figures for eight years?” he asked. “Can you take the forest land out? Can you raise the rate on forest land?” Kobert Dennis, one oi the 12 landowners involved in the Wakefield ag district application, acknowledged that the impact of use value assessments on county finances is an issue. He recalled, however, that when the supervisors had adopted the county-wide program, he had suggested that use value be tied to the eight year commitment from landowners required by an ag district. The aplicants in the Wakefield ag district want to assure the supervisors that they intend to keep their properties in present use for at least eight years, Dennis reported, noting that several also had their land under open space easements -i which preclude development in perpetuity. By allowing use value taxation in ag districts only, the supervisors can get “land use certainty” in exchange for “ tax certainty,” he said. In addition, Dennis noted that all the forest land included in the Wakefield application is being managed in accordance with some type of forest management plan. Replying to the criticism of the tax benefits given farmers through use value, Supervisor H.B. Wood maintained that anytime land can be saved from development, it’s to the benefit of all taxpayers. If farmers have to sell their acres because they can’t afford the high fair market value taxes and houses are constructed , the demand for services — particularly schools — will drive taxes up further, he argued. “If they’re farming, they’re also raising cheap food for us,” Wood added. “I’m a farmer. I need it,” he concluded. Eastham countered that large parcels of land, the acres devoted to agricultural production, forest or open space, have traditionally - although unofficially - been taxed at a lower rate. He expressed support for that informal arrangement designed to promote and protect the county’s fanning industry but repeated his request for a delay on the ag district application. Eastham recalled that he had once pledged he would resign before opposing Wood publicly on any issue. “I’m in the side yard, fighting my guts out to keep some sanity (in the school board’s budget deliberations) while you all are here in the front yard doing this (affording tax benefits through ag districts),” he told the supervisors. “I’m tired of fighting a rear guard action when this type of thing is being pulled...You will get my resignation (from the school board). I’m tired of it. I really am tired of it.” Supervisor Wood interjected that Eastham didn’t need to resign just because they disagreed over use value taxation. “I suggest we continue this public hearing (on the Wakefield ag district) until our next meeting,” added Supervisor Charles Estes. In addition to the proposal for a study of the impact of land use, he asked that Eastham bring the board information on the percentage of the school budget provided by the county and the cost per child for education. (Later, Estes explained that his request shouldn’t be interpreted as opposition to land use and expressed interest in estimates on the cost of providing services if all the acres now in forest, farm or open space were subdivided into ten or twenty acre lots and develODed.) Supervisor Clarence Baldwin agreed that the board needed additional time to study the question of land use. “I’d like to know more about it (before voting on the ag district application). I think this is serious business.” Estes also suggested that Col. Luke be authorized to prepare the land use impact study for the board. “It seems like you’re mixing apples and oranges,” commented zoning administrator David Konick. “This agricultural district application is being evaluated on the basis of the impact of county-wide land use...Use value is available to anyone with 20 acres or more,” he said, noting that the Wakefield ag district application covered more than 3,000 acres. “There are different provisions and restrictions on agricultural and forestal districts that land use doesn’t have,” Konick said. He requested that Luke’s study include data on the number of landowners receiving land use who have children in schools. “There ought to be somebody on the panel (other than Luke and Eastham) who hasn’t already stated what they think the results of this study will show,” Konick added. Dennis asked that the board find a local realtor to explain what has ham>ened to relative fair market values. He maintained that the value of raw land is going up much faster than the value of houses, resulting in a tax burden shift onto the land. Supervisor Wood added that he wanted figures on the assessments for houses and lots.' ‘I hear that some of them are not up at all, that some are down.” “There’s one case on your board like that,” Eastham interjected. With no further discussion, the supervisors voted unanimously to table action on the Wakefield ag district application until their April board meeting. Gentlemen Justices? 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 not later than March 25. Their participating in the reenactment will give the program an extra dimension of authenticity. -From Both BarrelsPolitics Of Demon Rum By GEORGE BOWLES Whatever else can be said about the 1983 session of the General Assembly, history will not record that it was marked by any great degree of legislative consistency. Take, for example, the lawmakers’ response to the growing clamor that something be done about the problem of drunken drivers on the state’s highways. Statistics do not seem to indicate that this problem, as bad as it is, has become noticeably worse in recent years, but public awareness of it has increased markedly. Thus the lawmakers, harkening unto what they perceived to be the voice of the grassroots, felt impelled to do something about it. This, after all, is the year when all of the seats in both houses of the General Assembly will be up for election. And what firmer political platform is there to stand on than to be on record as having struck a blow at the demon rum? It’s an issue which is both righteous and comfortable since most candidates for public office in Virginia seem, at one time or another, to have been ' Baptist Sunday School teachers, anyway. So a bill was drafted by Gov. Charles S. Robb’s Task Force for Drunk Driving which would raise the legal age for drinking beer to 21 years. At the present time that age is 18 for on-premises consumption and 19 for purchasing beer to take out. This particular proposal seemed not only righteous and comfortable, but politically safe as well. Young people between the ages of 18 and 21 may like their beer, but they are considerably less enthusiastic about voting. So, in spite of the fact that statistics seem to show that the drunken driving accident rate among 18 to 20 years old is no higher than it is among other age groups (and lower than that of drivers in their early twenties), the measure was introduced. There was a great hullaballoo of a public hearing, passionate debates in both the House and Senate, and finally a massive watering down of the measure. As it ultimately went to the governor for signature, it did nothing more than raise the age for onpremises beer drinking to 19, the same as the legal age for buying beer to go. It also included a provision that any young person falsifying his age to buy alcoholic beverages could lose his driver’s license for up to a year. Now while the lawmakers were doing all this breast-beating about drunk drivers and the hazards they pose, what else were they doing? Well, for one thing, they were defeating a bill which would have made it unlawful to drink while driving, something most people, rather logically, think is against the law now. It is not, however, and the legislators confirmed that it is perfectly all right to swig away on the contents of your brown bag, or can of foamy, while you whiz along the highways and byways of Virginia. For another, in spite of all the pontificating about the strong drink and the horror stories about carnage caused by drunken drivers, the lawmakers took action to make sure the Old Dominion keeps its share of the liquor trade. They enacted a bill allowing ABC stores in Northern Virginia and Tidewater to reduce prices in order not to be undersold by package outlets in Washington and Maryland, or by those on military installations. Hypocritical? Perhaps, but there is nothing really new about all this. It’s just the most recent chapter in the on-going saga of the Old Dominion’s love-hate relationship with the Demon Rum. And it proves once again, as retiring Del. Warren Barry of Fairfax put it, “Alcohol and gasoline may not mix, but alcohol and politics most certainly do!” Heart Drive Nears Goal Mary Frances Fannon, local 1983 Heart Association Campaign chairman, announced today that Frances Foster, campaign treasurer, reports $3,015.77 has been raised through door-to-door contributions by Rappahannock citizens. Additional funds raised include $400 from Dance for Heart and $130 from mail-in contributions. “On March 22, some 200 students will be participating in Jump for Heart and the funds raised through this project should help put our total very close to the goal of $4,000.00,” the chairman said. Mrs. Fannon expressed thanks to all area volunteers for their hard work during the campaign. “Credit for Clarification A Rappahannock News story last week on students suspended at the high school stated that charges of bringing alcohol on school property were placed against the one adult involved, Wendy Sue Grigsby. Robert Chappell, high school principal, confirmed that Grigsby was not accused of any violation of the school’s alcohol policy other than the incident in which charges were made. The News offers this clarification in case any readers drew mistaken conclusions from the article. success of this campaign goes to the following captains and their volunteers: Mrs. Frances Lyne, Piedmont $460.75; Mrs. Jean Dillard, Wakefield $472.70; Mrs. Janet Yancey, Jackson $728.72; Mrs. Deanna Leggett, Stonewall/Hawthorne East $301.60; Mrs. Linda Butler, Stonewall/Hawthome West $408.00 and Mrs. Lucille Price, Hampton $514.00.” Funds raised by the Association nationwide help reduce early death and disability from this country’s number one killer — heart and blood vessel disease.

Correction Last week’s Rappahannock News stated that Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson granted a temporary injunction against Potomac Edison in a case involving the utility’s right to increase voltage on their lines through the Sperry ville property of Susan Cameron. Robertson had issued an injunction on February 9 and did not continue it on February 24 because of failure of the plaintiff to post $9300 bond. The News regrets the er

RCHS Puts Three On All-DistiHct Teams By Joe McCullough The season is over for the Panthers who finished with a 15-7 record, best ever for a Rappahannock basketball team. This team also accomplished another first for RCHS—they went to the regional. On the squad of district champs were three who stood just a little above the rest. Topping the list was 6’5” senior center Mike Leake who scored 491 points this season for the second spot on the Bull Run District’s all-star five. The first player named to the second team was junior forward Clarence Pendleton. And last but not least was senior point guard Robert Myers who won honorable mention. “Mike Leake is probably the best player I’ve seen in high school this year,” said RCHS coach Doyle Dawson. “He plays smart ball and I can count on him to hit the important shot, pull that crucial rebound and to give our team a lift. He will probably make the first team allregion and even go to the all star game in Charlottesville in July. He is one of the best centers in Group A basketball and can play the inside as good as anybody on the boards. I’d feel comfortable matching him up against some of the best AAA players inside ’cause of his positioning. Mike is a great offensive rebounder and intimidator on defense. Although he led the team in scoring he is an unselfish player accounting for a large amount of the teams assists. He also had a great shooting average and could hit better than most big men his size from outside,” the coach said. Commenting on the Panthers’ 1982-83 performance, Leak said “it was an excellent regular season but we chocked in the post season.” He attributed the squad’s failure to advance in the district tournament and the regional partially to the excitement of winning the Bull Run crown. After that peak, the rest didn’t seem that important, he explained. “But this year will Aairway Paving Residential & Commercial Driveways, Parking Lots, Tennis Courts, Gravel, Etc.

There aren’t many goals left for him to aim for. Leake leaves the RCHS court as the all-time leading scorer, and all-time leading rebounder. He has the most blocked shots, the best shooting percentage and the best point average. At present, he plans to test his skills at the college level at either Shenandoah or Mary Washington next year. “I Shall Return” “I shall return next year faster, stronger and better, and I shall take this team somewhere. That is my ultimate goal for my high school career” said junior Clarence Pendleton. “My goal is to play college ball at Georgetown University” added this high flying and always smiling fan of the Milwaukee Buck’s Sidney Moncrief. Clarence has an explanation for his unusual style.” My basketball life started in a barn that used to be outside of Flint Hill. It had an amazing floor but it burned down a few years back. The reason I shoot my shots flatfooted is because the rim was only six feet.” Dawson has plans for Pendleton next year.” He’s a great athlete and has the skills to play college ball,” the coach said. “He could score 15-20 points a game next year. He’s worked hard this year improving on all facets of the game and when he’s hot not many players can contain him.” Senior guard Robert “Iceman” Myers feels that Dawson should be coach of the year because of the accomplishments he achieved The $44 bushel of corn. If you’re looking for the surprise in a box of com flakes... don’t look inside. Look at the pnce. That means you’re paying 80$ a pound for the com used in com flakes. That’s $44 a bushel.

Strasburg was the key to our season because after we beat them on the road and captured first place, we were the team to beat. But then came the nightmare at Warren County when rwe lost to Clarke. “Basketball has its ups and downs. Next year this team will be good and Jeff Porter’s going to have to assume the mantle of leadership on the floor,” Myers continued. “He has lots of pressure on his shoulders but I think he’ll do fine ’cause those shoulders are big.” Dawson described his point guard as a “team leader and excellent ballhandler. He ran our offense well and had a great year in assists and steals,” Dawson said of the senior who plans to continue both his education and basketball at Norfolk State. Mike Leake finished the year with 491 points, averaging 23 per game, pulling 360 rebounds and blocking 87 shots. Clarence scored 222 points and had 98 caroms. Myers accounted for 176 points, 47 steals and 82 assists. * * * The first modem submarine was developed in 1900 by John Holland. * * * The first watches produced about 1580 had only hour hands because their movements were too slow for minutes. * * * One kind word can warm —Rappahannock News Pholo/Courtesy R Anderson VIRGINIA STAR Race Bronze Medals were received by Wakefield students (from left) Allen Grimm, Tobias Dengel, Jennifer Anderson and Stephanie Handley.

Dragons End ‘Year Of Panthers’ By joe McCullough 'Rappahannock News Sports Writer The year of the Panthers on the basketball court came to an abrupt end last Wednesday as the William Monroe Dragons burned Rappahannock, 75-65, in the opening round of regional play. The Panthers jumped into the lead before an enthusiastic home crowd when Robert Myers hit a fallaway jumper for a 2-0 advantage. Mike Leake then came up with two backcourt steals in a row but neither produced points. Seconds later, however, Leake powered in for a lay-up and a 4-1 edge. Tom Sisk upped the difference another notch and it looked like it was going to be an easy night. But then Rappahannock ran into the problem that would re-occur the entire contest. The Panthers started to foul and the Greene Dragons grabbed an 11-10 lead at the free throw line. A hot shooting Sisk had to hit a buzzer shot to put RCHS back on top, 14-13, going into the second quarter. Sisk continued to have the hot hand in the second period, connecting on a short bank shot to make it 18-13. With Leake patrolling the lane, Rapp upped the tally to 20-15. But despite frantic, sloppy play (by both teams) and a number of walks by the Dragons, the visitors cut the margin to 22-21. Clarence “Perkins” Pendleton silenced the WMHS rally with an acrobatic finger roll and Rapp was ahead, 2925, at the halfway mark. The Panthers continued to outplay the Dragons at the start of the second half with dazzling passes from Myers to Leake for a 31-25 difference. Then that monster, the foul, reared its head once again and Monroe tied it at 33 all. Sisk and Leake picked up three of those unwanted tagalongs and the Dragons made good use of their chances at the charity stripe to inch in front, 43-35. Doyle Dunn snapped the Panthers’ three minute cold streak without a score but the damage had been done. With Rapp trailing, Pops Aylor hit a shot as no time Owls Finish Fourth Wakefield ended its abbreviated Basketball season recently by placing fourth in the 1st Annual Blue Ridge Invitational Basketball Tournament. In the semi-final game, the fourth seeded Owls lost a close contest to the top seeded host team, the Blue Ridge Barons, 5043. Russell Rowzie led the Wakefield squad with 17 points, and' Joey Tisinger sank 16 for the Owls. In the consolation game against St. Christopher’s of Richmond, the Owls succumbed to a fired up Saints Five, 57-39. Russell Rowzie once again led all Wakefield scorers with 14 points, and was named to the first team AllTournament Squad. Woodberry Forest won the title game against Blue Ridge, 80-74.

This is heard many times in Podiatrists offices around the country. it is just not correct. Certain shoes irritate the hammer toes and the com but they do not cause the problem. Hammer toes develop when there is an imbalance in the muscles controlling the toe and the joints are allowed to stay in a "hammered” position for a period of years. There are various ways to correct the hammertoes. However, the cause of the hammertoe is usually an imbalance in the foot itself which may lead to other problems. Remember - your feet must last a lifetime. A public service with the aim of promoting a better foot health environment.

Only a minute into the fourth quarter, Leake picked up his fourth foul.The Panthers pulled to within six off a Sisk jumper as time wound down to little more than a minute but they couldn’t maintain the surge. The buzzer ended the season with RCHS ten behind. Rappahannock’s boys hit five more baskets than the Dragons (27-22), turned the ball over two fewer times (16-18) and pulled down two more rebounds (37-35).
