Rappahannock News, March 24, 1983

33rd YEAR, NO. 12 USPS 455580 10 Pages The County Family Newspaper Since 1877 THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 1983 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA Phone 675-3349 25* Capital Outlay, Salary Increase Approved By Board The Rappahannock School Board voted Tuesday night in its final budget session to increase salaries by seven percent and to include, with stipulations, the $21,000 requested by the superintendent for initial architect’s fees for the high school construction program. Discussion on capital outlay items and salary figures had been postponed until this week to enable the board to move quickly on other, less controversial line items. The seven percent increase in salaries is a cut from the 11 percent recommended by the Rappahannock County Education Association (RCEA). The increase in teachers’ salaries is traditionally carried across the board to all school employees. Superintendent Robert Estabrook had included the full 11 percent hike in his budget proposal, explaining that the increase included five precent buy-in costs for the previouslyadopted index salary scale, two percent inflation increase and a 3.9 percent raise in salary for teachers. The seven percent voted by the board will accomplish the buy-in costs to the index system, correcting inequities in the present system, and will add 2 percent for inflation. Other than these adjustments, it will not result in an increase in pay for Rappahannock teachers. The board agreed to apply the same seven percent to other employees and administrators and to increase the educational supplements by the same percent. Excluded specifically were the extra-duty pay increases (compensation to teachers for coaching, dramatics and other extra-curricular activities.) The board voted to increase this compensation by 16 percent to a total of $9500, to be distributed throughout the activ ities as the superintendent deemed proper. Arguing against the seven percent was Wakefield member Robert Eastham, who proposed an increase of four percent. Eastham quoted pay hikes of four percent adopted by the Shenandoah County, Winchester City and Fairfax school boards. Chairman Beverly Massie countered with statistics from neighboring Culpeper where the school board is also beginning an index salary system and recently presented a 7.7 percent salary increase to the county supervisors. Noting that when the board adopted the index salary scale, it specified “if the funds were available,” Eastham said that the board was under no obligation to use the scale since the funds were clearly not available. “This is not the superintendent’s budget,” Eastham (Continued on Page 3) Crime Rate And Taxes Were Low Here In 1982 With all the counties in "the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District at 100 percent fair market value assessment of land in 1982, it no longer takes a computation of true effective tax rate from the State Department of Taxation in order to compare Rappahannock’s levy with that of the other four counties in the district. According to a data summary prepared by the Planning District Commission staff, Rappahannock’s tax rate on real estate for 198283 was half that charged in Culpeper and Fauquier and substantially lower than the rate in Madison and Orange. A rate of 32 cents per $100 of assessed value gave Rappahannock the bottom rung of the tax ladder. Next came Madison with 44 cents per $100, Orange with 50 cents, Culpeper with 68 cents and Fauquier with 73 cents. The total assessed value of real estate on which those rates were applied in 1982 stood at $1,213,179,920 in Fauquier; $547,809,617 in Culpeper; $490,057,530 in Orange; $261,850,850 in Madison and $247,384,754 in Rappahannock. The population rankings paralleled the tax rankings. Fauquier, the county with the highest tax levy in 1982, had the biggest population— 35,889 in 1980. Culpeper was next with 22,620 residents followed by Orange with 18,063, Madison with 10,232 and Rappahannock with 6,093. Comparing the differ ences in population and tax levy, Fauquier had almost two-and-a-half times the tax rate and six times the population of Rappahannock while Culpeper had just over twice the tax rate and three-and-a-half times the population here. Income Up Rappahannock led the district in percentage change in total personal income over a five year period. In 1975, total personal income of Rappahannock residents amounted to $24.2 million. It increased by 96.3 percent to $47.5 million in 1980. By comparison, the shift in Fauquier was 92.9 percent (from $166.7 million to $321.6 million); in Orange 90.8 percent (from $74.3 million to $141.8 million); in Madison 82.8 percent (from $33.7 million to $61.6 million) and in Culpeper 85 percent (from $97.5 million to $180.4 million). Despite the almost 100 percent increase overall, Rappahannock still ranked low in the planning district in per capita individual income. In 1980, the average per capita income for county residents was $7,774, higher than only Madison, where average income was $7,462. Highest was Fauquier with average per capita income of $8,941, followed by Culpeper with $7,957 and Orange with $7,933. During a five year period between 1975-80, however, Rappahannock had the second highest increase—78.6 percent—in average per ca pita income, beaten only by Madison where the jump was 22.1 percent. From 1970-1980, Rappahannock’s population grew by 17.2 percent, the smallest hike in the planning district, while the total number of housing units in the county increased during the same period by 33.6 percent. Only Madison had a smaller increase in the number of housing units (33.2 percent) during the same ten years and all five counties reported a bigger population surge, ranging from 36.1 percent in Fauquier to 18.5 percent in Madison. Rent, Value Low According to the planning district commission’s summary, Rappahannock ranked fourth among the five counties in both median home value and median rent charged per month for leased housing in 1980. Median home value here was $39,100. That figure was topped by Fauquier ($66,800), Culpeper ($45,600) and Orange ($40,200). Median value was lower only in Madison ($37,500). Median rents were $198 in Fauquier, $159 in Culpeper, $150 in Orange, $122 in Rappahannock and $111 in Madison. Crime Rate Lowest The data summary gave the total number of crimes in Rappahannock for 1980 as 70, by far the lowest in the district. High was Fauquier with 817, followed by Cul(Continued on Page 3) —Rappahannock News/T Reynolds WOULD-BE RHINOCEROSES follow the lead of Sally Nash in their attempts to portray the graceful beast on stage.

With a victory over Central High, the RCHS foursome advanced to the third round of WVPT’s showcase of academic talent. Pop Quizzers Ride A Lame Duck To Second Round Win “I don’t think I’ve ever been so nervous in my life,” admitted coach Cindy Wayland after Rappahannock County High School’s whiz kids inched ahead of Central High School for a second round win in WVPT television’s Pop Quiz competition last Thursday night in Harrisonburg. Facing a squad of seniors from Woodstock, Rappahannock’s precocious youngsters—eighth grader Jonathan Watson, freshman Will Oliver, and juniors Ann Oliver and Cheryl Atchinson—were undaunted. They grabbed the lead when Ann remembered that the eustachian tube controls equilibrium and Cheryl named Sir Walter Scott as the author of Kennelworth. They retained command for the en tire first half, ahead 14&-95 at the midway point. But the kids from Woodstock began slamming their buzzers in the second half. With no scoreboard to tell the pop quizzers the tally, no one but the judges knew exactly what the difference was. Central answered a tossup question just as time ran out. Tension built as the moderator read the bonus, a two-parter asking for the numbers of two constitutional amendments. Each was worth five points. Central’s captain came up with one correct answer but was stumped by the Lame Duck Amendment. Collective breaths were held as the judges added the final score. The sigh of relief from the Rappahannock foursome and coaches Wayland, Brion Patterson and Roger Flinchum was audible to television viewers back home when RCHS flashed up in lights, a five point victor. “We were so worried. Roger was keeping score and he had figured out that if they got one bonus, we tied, and if they got two, we lost,” Ms. Wayland reported. “We expected the score to be even.” With 15 other teams from area high schools, Rappahannock now advances to the third round of the McDonalds-sponsored Pop Quiz. “I plan to read the list of presidents and go over the characters in Shakespeare’s plays,” Cheryl announced (Continued on Page 3) Mexican Folk Ballet On Stage The National Folk Ballet of Mexico will perform at Culpeper County High School tonight (Thursday) at 8:00 p.m. The Ballet is part of the Community Concert Association’s 1982-83 season.

It’s Go Again For Sperryville Sewer Rappahannock’s Water and Sewer Authority flashed a “go” sign to the engineers this week after receiving confirmation that the Environmental Protection Agency has approved a supplemental grant to finance final design work on Sperryville’s sewer project. “We can call tonight and . say go to work 'cause the money is there’,” announced WSA member Donald Gore at Monday evening’s meeting of the Authority. State Water Control Board representatives Charlie Massie from Richmond and Stu Wilson from the Alexandria office confirmed that $82,385 will be available to draw from within two weeks. Approximately $9,000 is money leftover from an earlier federal grant and the remainder comes from the uncommitted portion of the $116,533 supplemental grant recently awarded by EPA. "You can tell something important is going on beeause we’ve got not one but two State Water Control Hoard members here tonight," noted Bob Dennis, WSA treasurer who chaired Monday’s meeting in the absence of chairman Carson Johnson and vice-chairman J. Clifford Miller. Engineering work for the project must Ik* completed by J une 1 in order for plans to be reviewed by the State Health Department in time to meet an October 1 deadline, Massie reported. “The Health Department is aware of all your problems. They’re sympathetic and I know you’re going to get a lot of cooperation there," added Wilson.

/• . -v * When The Nightmares Come True: Facing Life’s Worst By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock New. Staff Writer Editor’s Note: Last fall, a small number of local people began to meet under the auspices of a national group called the Compassionate Friends. There were no dues, no long-term commitments— just a bond of grief and loneliness and a wish to help each other survive and heal. These were parents who had had a child die. Now in its fifth month, the local chapter of Compassionate Friends is hoping to reach others in the Rappahannock area who might find comfort in its common bond. Those in Rappahannock interested in Compassionate Friends can call Linda Payne at 937-5516. The following two-part series comes from an interview with three of the local members of Compassionate Friends and some of the thoughtful literature published by the ten-year-old national group. Part I will discuss the impact of a child’s death on a family and how the family is affected by the reaction of friends. Part II will explain the organization as well as other resources that help families heal. Part I Parents of teenagers toss and turn while their children are out with the family car. Mothers of newborn babies awake in the middle of the night to check on their little ones, imagining a whimper, a sneeze, a shortness of breath. Morning light reassures them. They think, “Oh, wasn’t that silly. It could never happen to me.” But it does happen. Children die suddenly or slowly, leaving families completely devastated. No one can face it, this ultimate tragedy. Friends of the grief stricken family pay their respects and leave, never again to mention the name of the missing child, perhaps out of embarassment or mistaken kindness, more likely because they themselves cannot face the unspeakable loss that could just as easily have been theirs. Why do friends behave this way? “I understand it,” said Anne Tinsdale. “ In fact I behaved that way once myself.” Anne lost her daughter Amy two years ago. “When Amy died one of the first people I thought of was an old acquaintance whose child had died almost five years before. I didn’t go to the funeral or to see her at the time, and when I had the opportunity later to offer my sympathy, I avoided bringing up the subject. I had the mistaken idea that if I didn’t remind her that her son was dead, maybe she wouldn’t think of it. “Nothing could be further from reality, and Amy’s death made me realize how foolish and unkind I had really been. It had been I who could not face the reality of death, and my fear had sought all kinds of justifications. “My friend of course came to Amy’s funeral, and my relief at finally being able to tell her how I felt and apologize for my cowardice was tremendous.” Linda Payne of Jeffersonton lost her son, Richard three years ago. “People do avoid mentioning him because they don’t want to ‘remind’ us. Do they think we could forget?” she asked. r OPERATING EXPENSES spoken here. All kinds of short term loans for operating expenses. FARMING spoken here Call: A1 Henry to discuss your Farm Credit Needs. 347-3344 Mon.-Fri. 8:30-5:00 “It’s with you all the time, even when you’re partly occupied with something else. You’ll never be the same person you were. It hurts for people to just act if it were nothing.” Sam Talomie of Warrenton lost her son, Joe, two years ago. “I can remember every detail of everything that happened as though it were recorded on tape. Everything dropped to slow motion and seemed to come through a fog. I just wanted to die myself, I felt such physical pain.” Linda agreed that one of the biggest problems was with the physical manifestations of tremendous grief. “I kept thinking I would be all right if I could have just gotten out of my body. My mouth was dry and my head felt stuffed with cotton.” But none of these women recommended tranquilizers for grieving parents. “When we woke up in the morning, someone would be there with a pill for us to swallow, before we even got out of bed,” Linda said. “Finally we just said, ‘no more’. It was as if they thought we’d disgrace ourselves by showing our grief, as if somehow, with the right medication, we could get through the ordeal without ever feeling pain.” You ve got to be able to cry,” added Anne. “When the doctor told me that Amy had died, I began shaking and screaming inside...‘no, no, no’...but I couldn’t let it out. Keeping the pain inside was a way of refusing to acknowledge the truth. The doctor and nurses stayed with me though, and literally shook me, however gently, forcing me to let go.” The three women are speaking naturally, in response to questions, not soliciting sympathy, but relating their own experiences so that others will know how to help their friends should the need ever arise. What are some other things that do not help? “It’s best not to mention how the death is part of God’s plan,” said Linda. “They’re not going to be too pleased with God right then.” “Don’t expect recovery according to any hypothetical schedule,” added Anne. “The death of a child is not something from which a parent ever really ‘recovers’. Not long ago I had an experience which brought this home. Suddenly I was overwhelmed with grief, and my inability to cope with Amy’s death. I got in my car and began driving...down Route 17 in the direction of Warrenton. Soon red lights were flashing, and I was pulled over. The officer immediately began questioning me: ‘Have you been drinking?’ “I told him ‘no’ as coherently as possibly, and it was quite evident that he didn’t exactly believe me. Apparently I had been weaving as well as driving at a dangerously low speed. “His questioning persisted, and I repeated that I had not been drinking, that I was not drunk, but that I was upset. “He asked what I was upset about, and I told him that ‘my child died’. He asked ‘how long ago?’ and I told him ‘about a year and a half ago’. ” “Time does help, but time also makes one acknowledge reality. The death of a child is not something one ever ‘gets over’ or forgets. Not talking about it doesn’t have the healing effect that some believe it should, but remembering does, especially remembering the happy times...and sharing these memories with a friend.” “People are often wellmeaning but vague,” Linda said. “They’ll say, ‘call if you need anything.’ Well, you need so much and you can’t ask for it. You feel that you’ve already gotten so much attention, so much help. “But you’re tired and drained,” she went on. “I remember one day’s project— folding one laundry basket of clothes. It was almost more than I could do. But I couldn’t call someone up and say, ‘hey, come on over and fold my laundry.’ But people who would just show up with specific help to offer— that really was a help.” The women agreed on other things that helped them. “People showed up with all this food,” said Anne. “Some of them I didn’t even know. They were friends of friends, just coming to help. Some came with smiles, and some with tears, and some couldn’t say a word. But they came to let us know they were there to help. And it did help, probably more than they’ll ever know.” Linda agreed. “Not only is it the love you feel. It’s so hard to make a decision when you’re suffering. What to fix for dinner is a big deal. I’d go to the freezer and pull out something someone put in a few weeks ago and I had this feeling that the love and . concern had frozen right along with the casserole and r I’d feel it again. And I’d be so grateful not to have to face that chore.” “Parents are also grateful not to have to make all the funeral arrangements,” Sam said. “But let them have a part in it. Don’t shield them entirely. It’s good if someone can offer them the choice, help them decide and then carry out their wishes.” All three said that some of their closest friends were obviously griefstricken and unable to hide it. “That was all right,” Linda said. “It didn’t make us feel worse. In fact, in some cases it helped to know that our friends weren’t ashamed to cry, that they loved and missed our children, too. Consoling them was a help—giving us something to do, and giving of ourselves was healing.” Anne agreed, and added, “Don’t be afraid to laugh or smile either. If you remember something humorous share it, and laugh together.

The organization suggests that caring friends and relatives: Be available...to listen, to run errands, to help with the other children, or whatever else seems needed at the time. Say you are sorry about what happened to their child and about their pain. Allow them to express as much grief as they are feeling at the moment and are willing to share. Allow them to talk about the child they have lost as much and as often as they want to. Talk about the special endearing qualities of the child they lost.

This rainy weather has been perfect to curl up and read; Give special attention to the child’s brothers and sisters—at the funeral and in the months to come (they too are hurt and confused and in need of attention which their parents may not be able to give at this time). And some don’ts: -Don’t tell them what they should feel or do. -Don’t change the subject when they mention their dead child. -Don’t avoid mentioning the child’s name out of fear of reminding them of their pain (they haven’t forgotten it!). -Don’t try to find something positive (a moral lesson, closer family ties,) about the child’s death. -Don’t point out that at least they have their other children (children are not interchangeable, they cannot replace each other.) -Don’t say that they can always have another child (even if they wanted to and could, another child would not replace the child they have lost). -Don’t suggest that they should be grateful for their other children (grief over the loss of one child does not discount parents’ love and appreciation of their living children). -Don’t make comments which in any way suggest that the care given their child at home, in the emergency room, hospital, or wherever was inadequate (parents are plagued by feelings of doubt and guilt without any help from their family and friends). From the women’s conversation, it’s evident that their friends were a source of great comfort and help. But it’s also evident that those left untouched by this overwhelming tragedy will never fully understand what’s happened to these families. That’s where the Compassionate Friends comes in. Its members have not only seen the worst life has to offer and survived, they’ve experienced a drastic rearrangement of perspective and priorities that makes them unique. All of them at one time believed that the force of their love and tremendous will would be enough to keep their children alive. How could those children die, who were kept warm, safe, well-fed, who were loved? “What you realize suddenly,” Sam said, “is that you just don’t have the control you once thought you had—over their life, the lives of your other children, your own life—over anything.” Next week: Healing Begins KappaJiannodt Neuib Rappahannock & Adjoining Counties per year $8.00 Elsewhere in the U.S. per year $10.00 Outside the U.S. per year $8.00 plus postage SUBSCRIPTION RATES BY MAIL ALL PAYABLE IN ADVANCE ( ) New ( ) Renewal ( ) Check Enclosed NAME___ ADDRESS __ CITY_ STATE___ ZIP _ Entered as second class mail at the Post Office in Warrenton, Va.

School Board Approves ^ununuea rrom rage 1 argued. “This is the budge proposal of the RCEA.” “We must considei what’s going' on around us,’ he continued. “With this ir responsible budget propo sal, we most certainly deserve a rebuff from th< supervisors.” Eastham also arguec agamst the addition of twt new positions — a high school math teacher and i kindergarten teacher. “Ir the face of declining enrollment, how can we justify these expenditures? “Do you have someone picked out for kindergarten teacher?” he asked the superintendent. “No, of course not,” Estabrook replied. “I don’t advertise for slots not budgeted as yet.” Eastham asked the clerk to specifically record those voting for the two new positions. They were all the members except for himself: Massie, Randall Updike, Nancy Reeve and Nelson Lane. Construction Program The board struggled for hours with the $21,000 proposed by the superintendent as a start on the building program at the high school, which includes a new gym and remodeling of the existing gym to provide more classroom space. Estabrook explained again that the amount in his budget proposal represents the cost of an architect providing a cost analysis of a $750,000 construction program and final plans and specifications up to the bid stage. With low-interest literary loan funds frozen until 1984, the initial work would allow the board to make application as soon as the funds are again available. Without this allocation, the superintendent explained, it would be at least a year before the board would have the opportunity to begin work on the building program, meaning another year before application for funds. Nelson Lane argued that the $21,000 was too much. “This needs more study,” he said. “We need to look at work done in nearby counties where existing space FAUQUIER LIVESTOCK EXCHAN6E ■NCO»roa«rrn State Grade Feeder Calves & Yearlings 1,000 TO 1,200 ALL BREEDS 7:00 p.m. Thurs., March 31 - Thurs., April 7 Thurs., April 21 Sponsored by Marshall Feeder Cattle Assn. at Fauquier Livestock Exchange Rl55,Mmhill,Vi 364-1566 Consignments Welcome has been remodeled.” Nancy Reeve pointed out that the allocation would not prevent the study; it would merely make the funds available should the board decide to proceed after a thorough study. An inital motion to include the $21,000 by Nancy Reeve failed for lack of a second. At this point, disappointed of the high school booster club who had come in support of the construction program tore up a poster displayed throughout the meeting and left the room. The discussion continued. “The supervisors will never agree to the $21,000,” said Eastham. “This, incidentally, represents a one cent increase in the county tax rate.” Massie replied, “Our duty is to make recommendations as to what we feel is necessary for the children of this county.” “The supervisors are up for election,” Eastham countered. “How many parents do you really think are going to vote?” “Mr. Eastham,” Massie replied, “it is not our charge to anticipate the politics of the county.” The superintendent spoke again: “The original budget proposal represented a 9 percent increase. With cuts last week and the salary cuts made tonight, the percentage of increase must be a great deal lower. This is not an irresponsible or outrageous request.” “Before proceeding, we should meet with the supervisors and discover what they feel is an acceptable request for a building program, should we find such a program necessary,” Eastham said. “Then we wouldn’t be putting the cart before the horse.” Nelson Lane asked if the board would agree to include a $2,000 request instead of the $21,000. ‘This was the amount quoted just for a cost analysis,” he said. “We could start there.” Eastham agreed, saying that the $2,000 limit would remove the temptation to the architect to design a more expensive building than necessary. “Then we could have a cost figure, which of course would not be publicly known,” he said. “This would satisfy the perception of those in the community who support a building program. ” Eastham made a motion to include the $2,000 instead of the larger figure. No second was made. “What about $10,000?” asked Lane. “This is a meaningless amount,” responded Randall Updike. “It’s far short of what is needed to put us in a position to further proceed next year.” Updike, along with other members of the board, struggled with a motion. Finally, he proposed that the board leave the $21,000 in the budget request, subject to the satisfactory completion of the previouslyagreed upon cost analysis, meetings with the supervisors, and more feedback from the community. The motion carried, with Eastham abstaining. On other budget items, the board voted to provide the accounting service nec J.R. COMBS CONSTRUCTION, INC. P.O.

A final budget reflecting Tuesday’s changes will be available next week, Eastabrook said. Cuts made last week, primarily in fuel costs, equal $44,777. Tuesday’s reductions will be determined after the impact of the salary cuts is analyzed, but the superintendent estimated that they would total a very rough figure of $40,000, or $10,000 for each percent of decrease in pay hikes. Last week, Estabrook estimated that the proposed budget, weighed against revenues from federal and state sources, would demand to total of $1,311,926 from the county for the total budget of $2,661,524, or $81,443 over last year’s county share. Revised according to cuts made last week the total equals $1,267,149 from the county, or $25,042 more than last year’s. Tuesday’s cuts will significantly reduce that amount.

The time set aside for outdoor spring cleaning in Washington, April 10-16, coincides with Private Property Week designated by both the town council and the county board of supervisors. Sewer Design Continued from Page 1 construction grant from the Water Control Board for fiscal year 1984. “There’s going to be a tremendous demand for money next year,” Wilson emphasized, adding that localities know FY 1984 is the last opportunity to get 75 percent of project costs funded by the federal government. After FY ’84, the federal share will drop to 50 percent, making financing an impossibility for many jurisdictions, he said. “The competition is going to be extremely fierce. You’ve got to keep your project on line so you can stay up there (as the number five priority in the state for an FY ’84 construction grant from the SWCB),” Wilson told the Authority members. If plans for Sperryville’s project don’t have Health Department approval by the October 1 deadline, “you will be by-passed for funding (in FY ’84) and the money will be re-allocated elsewhere,” Massie cautioned. In order for the engineers to finish plans for Health Department review, work on the final design must resume April 1, Dennis reported. Adding and subtracting a long list of figures, both the Water Control Board representatives and WSA members James Leake, Gore and Dennis came up with the same answer: $82,3.35 that will be on hand within two weeks to pay the engineers for that final design. “I can’t believe that the federal government, the state government and the engineers are all in agreement on the figures. I’ve never seen that happen before,” Dennis announced. The WSA members voted unanimously to authorize the engineers to begin work. “With the condition that they don’t exceed the available funds — that $82,335,” Leake added. Although the authority will have money in the bank to pay the engineering bills, the completion of the sewer system still hinges on winning yet another grant. Estate Eileen M.

Even with the $1.4 million in federal funds earmarked for Sperryville by the Water Control Board, monthly user fees will be too high for village residents to afford. So construction depends on the award of a Community Development Block Grant by the state. Going back to their pencils and pads, the five men around the table at Monday’s meeting added and subtracted another round of numbers, in the event that Rappahannock is not successful with its upcoming block grant application when awards are announced this summer, the county stands to risk just $18,018 in local dollars, according to their computations. “I don’t think we can back up. We can’t stop now and wait to be sure we get the block grant if all we need is $18,000,” Gore said. “All the stuff (in support of the Sperryville project) we’re getting from EPA ought to mean something to the block grant folks,” added Dennis. Massie concurred that the chances “look good” on winning approval of a block grant application (expected to be for approximately $500,000). He noted that the Health Department’s recent recertification of Sperryville as a health hazard due to contamination of ground water from malfunctioning septic fields and pit privies should improve the odds for success. In addition, Dennis said he will give the Rappahannock supervisors an update on the Sperryville sewer project’s status at their April 4 session. 1 axes, Crime ^uiainueu irom rage i peper with 062, Orange with 423 and Madison with 230. A comparison of crime and population in Rappahannock with that of other counties shows that Culpeper has three and a half times the population and nine times the number of crimes; Fauquier six times the population and 11 times the number of crimes; Madison one and a half times the population and three times the number of crimes and Orange three times the population and six times the number of crimes. Other data reported by the planning commission gives Rappahannock the highest percentage of workers out-commuting in 1980 (50.1 percent) and the high est unemployment rate (10.0 percent), as of December. 1982. Of Rappahannock's 1980 work force, 489 were employed in manufacturing, 431 in construction, 354 in retail and wholesale trade and 745 in service. Retail sales in Rappahannock in 1981 amounted to million. Although that figure falls far below totals for the other counties ($104 million in Fauquier, $82 million in Culpeper, $f>0.7 million in Orange and $21.2 million in Madison), Rappahannock’s increase over the previous year was the highest at approximately seven percent. Increases posted by the other four localities ranged from ut>out four percent in Fauquier to six percent in Orange. Finally, in evaluating the sources of revenue to support local governments, Rappahannock got the next to the smallest percentage from county taxpayers. As of .June 20, 1981, Rappahannock’s budget was derived 41.8 percent from local sources, 44.8 percent from the state and 14.4 from federal sources. By comparison, Fauquier financed 50.4 percent of its budget with local dollars, Culpeper 47.4 percent and Orange 48.8 percent. Only Madison used a smaller percentage of local money (40.1 percent) to support local government.

Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 1983 He Told You So The school board’s penchant for secrecy threatened to spill over to the supervisors a couple of months ago. In one of the discussions on jail renovations, Supervisor H.B. Wood and Clarence Baldwin, with support from School Board Member Robert Eastham in the audience, argued that estimates on the work should be kept from the public. Release of the projected cost would compromise the bidding process, they said, insisting that if contractors knew what the estimate was, all bids would come in above that mark. Not so, countered Hubert Gilkey, the only member of the board with experience on the contractor’s end of the bidding process. He held that release of the cost estimate would have just the opposite affect. At a time when the construction industry is struggling through its deepest recession in years, everyone in the building trades is looking for work, he said. Bidders will try to undercut that cost estimate, Gilkey told his fellow board members. He is right, judging from the school board’s experience. For the last year, the school board has covered cost estimates on the combination bus shop and central office building with a cloak of secrecy. That cloak was lifted in January at the bid opening when the board agreed to accept the low bid of $138,871 for the work. But failure to advertise for bids compromised the entire process and the project had to be rebid. That first low bid had been splashed across the front page of the newspaper. Following the reasoning of the secrecy advocates, that meant all the new bids would come in above that figure. They did not. Four came in below $138,871. Even Baughan Construction, who submitted that figure the first time around, found a way to shave off $1,640 in the second round of bids. Supervisor Gilkey’s point has been proven as far as secrecy on construction project costs is concerned. Both the public’s confidence and the public’s dollars can be saved by conducting business in public. -Letter-— Virginia Has Working System To the editor: It is interesting to read a newspaper article regarding prison budgets, new laws and prison management which makes sense. Such an article was written by Mr. Bowles last week. Citizens in Virginia should be proud of the quality of corrections personnel they are paying for. Corrections employees from Officers to Administrators are hardworking, dedicated and trained professionals. Our tax dollars have created this situation and, let’s face it, corrections - “prisons” - have in the past operated on a “shoestring” budget, dollars used sparingly to accomplish a monumental task. Virginia’s classification system of inmates has protected us, our families and our communities with an effectiveness which deserves applaud. Security personnel are trained personnel who seek solutions to problems rather than causing problems and are trained to do just that. Institutions we pay for are staffed with both treatment and medical personnel who meet the basic human needs of inmates, often working long hours to handle seemingly impossible problems of their “clients”. Equipment issued to corrections personnel is used and RE-USED, getting more than our tax dollars use, being attained on occasion from other agencies as “surplus”. Moreover, the Virginia Department of Corrections is a well balanced, working system. Department of Cor rections employees are proud of both themselves and the jobs they are doing for us with the minimal funds available. Remove needed funds and we may well be reverting back to warehousing inmates, a situation Virginia can’t afford. It is obvious that a substantial amount of money will be spent on corrections in Virginia in the upcoming years but we now have a choice. We can, as Virginians, have our tax monies spent for continued training of personnel and improved facilities, or we can spend it as New Mexico did on February 2, 1980, at an estimated cost for 32 hours of over $2,000,000.00 + 33 dead bodies. We have a choice. BRIAN TAUSS Castleton Park Land Sale Considered Rep. J. Kenneth Robinson was notified this week by the U.S. Department of Agriculture that approximately 2,579 acres in Virginia’s Seventh Congressional District—currently part of the U.S. Forest Service System—have been identified for further study for possible sale to the public as surplus federal property. Robinson was informed that the forest acreages include 20 parcels in Shenandoah County totalling about 2,490 acres, and 89 acres in Frederick County. The scattered parcels are part of 48,577 acres in Virginia identified as potential surplus federal property. Some six million acres have been identified nationally for intensive study, in a national forest system that includes 185 million acres scheduled for permanent retention by the U.S. Forest Service. Material sent to Robinson stressed that the identification of the sites does not mean that all of the acres will be sold. He was informed that, in the next few weeks, the administration intends to submit legislation to Congress to authorize the sale of those portions of the six million acres which ultimately may be found suitable for disposal. The information supplied to the Seventh District representative also stressed that the land involved is limited to isolated parcels, some lands in checkerboard ownership patterns, lands needed for community expansion, and some lands currently under special use permit that are unlikely to be needed for public purposes in the future. In commenting on the development here today, Robinson said “I have no doubt these plans will receive very careful attention in the congress, particularly from the House and Senate Interior and Agriculture committees that will, presumably, share jurisdiction over the legislation to be submitted. “My Washington office has not yet received maps showing the Seventh District acreages earmarked by federal authorities for intensive study as potential surplus federal property, though detailed maps have been provided to my district office in Winchester, and are available for inspection there by anyone interested. Map information is also on file in individual forest supervisor offices, such as the George Washington National Forest office in Harrisonburg,” Robinson said. Education Benefit Extended Unemployed or underemployed Vietnam Era veterans may be eligible for an extension of their educational benefits, Veterans Administration Administrator Harry N. Walters has announced. The new VA Administrator pointed out that modification of educational assistance legislation provides for the extension of the 10-year education eligibility period for certain veterans who may wish to pursue further vocational, apprenticeship, or on-thejob training, or a high school diploma. Walters urged all interested Vietnam Era veterans to contact the nearest VA regional office for information.“We want to be sure that eligible veterans seek out this assistance that they so much deserve and earned,” he said. Ending date for this extension is Dec. 31,1984. Our Rappahannock Heritage Letters To The Editor Money Well Spent To the editor: Concerning the statement made during last week’s school board meeting about Rappahannock being able to offer students the same programs at the high school for $88,502 as is being offered at Piedmont Technical Education Center, I would like to inform the people of Rappahannock that this money is well spent. There is no financial way Rappahannock County could fund the same programs for the same amount of money. Piedmont offers 17 different programs which offer second and third year classes. These are Cosmetology, Carpentry, Electronics, Electricity, Nursing, Food Services, Masonry, Computer Programming, Industrial Maintenance,. Auto Mechanics, Senior Intensified Program, Drafting, Fashion and Tailoring, Machine Shop, Small Engine Repair, Welding and Plumbing. Most of these courses are also offered each spring and fall at nights to adults from the four county area. (I remember quite a few people from Rappahannock at the night classes.) Each instructor has a minimum of five years experience in the area he/she teahes. Also, the intructors take courses at universities and colleges to keep their teaching certificates in good standing. The $88,502.00 that was mentioned would not even pay the salaries of the instructors. The laboratories are equipped with modern upto-date equipment that students will use in industry. Some are equipped with machines that could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. As for the hour and half drive, the majority of students at Rappahannock County High School should get use to this for most will have to commute in order to find employment—simply because the county cannot employ all of its graduates. Piedmont Technical Education Center has an employment rate of 91%. In my seven years at Piedmont most of my students who wanted to work have been able to find jobs even in difficult economic times. Speaking from personal experience, when my students complete the program they are not just laborers or helpers. A student with an A or B average is a skilled and highly qualified welder, sometimes better than people who have been on the job with actual work experience. This holds true in most of the classes because of the variety of materials and equipment to which the student is exposed. My personal opinion is that the county’s money is well spent! Piedmont recently 'held district contests sponsored by the VICA Club (Vocational Industrial Clubs of America). Rappahannock County had two first place winners in these contests. Margaret Smoot won first place in the Needle Trades contest and Brent Wilson won first place in the Small Engine Repair contest. These students will go on to state competition where they will compete against other district winners in the state of Virginia. If they win at state they will be entitled to go to the U.S. Skill Olympics held in Louisville, Ky. in June where they will compete with students from all over the United States. I would personally like to invite anyone from Rappahannock County to visit Piedmont to see if the county would want to afford the variety and opportunity that Piedmont offers. Rappahannock can be proud of the fact that their interests and concemers are being well represented by Mrs. Massie who is a member of the governing board at Piedmont. She has been very instrumental in seeing that the. students at Rappahannock County High School receive the best possible education by attending functions at Piedmont and showing the students and teachers that some one from Rappahannock genuinely cares about their welfare.

COUGHLIN Castleton ’83 Estimated Payment Due The first installment of 1983 estimated Federal income tax payments by individuals is due April 15. Generally, individuals who have estimated tax of $.300 or more and estimated gross income of more than $500 that is not subject to withholding must file a Form 1040ES, Estimated Tax for Individuals. Examples of income not subject to withholding are business income, proceeds from the sale of property and interest and dividend income. Later in 1983, interest and dividend income will be subject to 10% withholding for taxes. Estimated tax pay ments can be adjusted to reflect this withholding after the provisions are implemented. The Form 1040ES package containing instructions, a worksheet and four payment vouchers will be sent to those individuals who filed estimated taxes in 1982. Other 1983 estimated tax payments are due June 15, September 15, and January 16,1984. The 1040ES forms can also be obtained at local IRS offices or by calling IRS, toll-free, 1-800-424-1040. From Both Barrels A Glenn-Robb Ticket In ’84? By GEORGE BOWLES The Democrats’ Jefferson^Jackson Day celebration a fortnight ago in Richmond’s John Marshall Hotel may have been more of a landmark event than it seemed to have been at the time. It clearly added fuel to speculation that former astronaut John Glenn, now the junior U.S. Senator from Ohio, is the unacknowledged favorite of many party elders in Virginia for the 1984 presidential nomination. It also gave a boost to the still small but growing view which olds that Gov. Charles S. Robb would make a mighty fine vice presidential running mate for Sen. Glenn. The Ohio senator was the principal speaker for the event, and in that role he provided the major surprise of the evening. That is, he gave an excellent sDeech. Somehow Sen. Glenn had been unable to shake a reputation as a boring speaker which had dogged him since his dismal performance at the 1976 Democratic National Convention in New York. But his Richmond address, while by no means a stemwinder, brought more than a dozen bursts of applause from his audience. He flayed the Reagan ad iiuiusiratiuxi aiiu an its worKS wniie warmiy eiiuursiiig many of the social positions dear to the hearts of Democrats. In addition, the speech had a sort of “praise the Lord and pass the ammunition” quality to it which seemed to befit a former Marine space pilot. When it was over, his credibility as a presidential candidate, which some in the audience had questioned earlier, seemed firmly established. Later, in a score of hospitality suites around the hotel, the possibility of a Glenn-Robb ticket seemed a bit less of a pipe dream. Among those on hand was Dr. Larry Sabato, the nationally respected author and political analyst from the University of Virginia. I asked him if the combination had a winning potential. “I think it would have national appeal,” said Dr. Sabato. “Whichever candidate wins the presidential nomination, he’s going to have to pick a southerner for his running mate. That’s just a given. And of the southerners who are available, Robb is one of the two or three most likely to be on the ticket, or at least to be asked to be on it by the nominee. “It seems to me that Robb is most likely to- run with John Glenn,” he continued. “He’s likely to say no to several others. So a Glenn-Robb matchup is a possibility. It has appeal. It has southern appeal. Robb is the sort of national southern Democrat who could broaden the party’s electoral base throughout the country. “I think it would be a good, solid ticket that has the right geographic balance while at the same time it is a national ticket without merely a regional favorite for the vice presidency,” he said. Several speakers in the course of the evening’s program made light-hearted references to such a pairing, but both men steered clear of any comments which might either encourage or discourage the speculation. Sen. Glenn, however, responded to a reporter’s question shortly after his arrival, and observed that Gov. Robb had “the right stuff’ for national office. While Glenn’s invitation to address the Democratic fund raiser might reasonably be taken as a signal that he has the inside track as the favorite of the state party’s high command for the nomination, this may not necessarily be the case. Members of the Democratic leadership insist that no such interpretation should be read into Sen. Glenn’s appearance. He was, however, the only candidate or prospective candidate to whom an invitation to speak was extended. In addition, some of Gov. Robb’s closest advisers counsel against his even considering accepting the vice-presidential nomination next year. They reason that it would be too dangerous, since a defeat could wreck his chances of being on the ticket in 1988, when they believe he would have his best shot at a successful run for national office. Others, however, see the robust Genn-Robb duo both ex-marines, as the ideal center-right combination needed to unhorse the aging Pres. Reagan and his politically invisible vice president, George Bush. These decisions, of course, lie in the misty future. For the present, it is safe to say that John Glenn is a far stronger candidate in Virginia than he was before his speech. And it’s also safe to say that a possible Glenn - Robb Democratic ticket in 1984 deserves a bit more serious discussion than it was getting before the Jefferson-Jackson Day festivities. Reading Program Begins To encourage parents to provide reading experiences for their children, the Reading Affirmative Action Committee of the Rappahannock County public school system will send home bimonthly newsletters with the elementary and secondary school students starting the end of March. The newsletter will contain helpful tips for parents to stimulate their children to read and write at home. Book reviews will be provided as an aid for choosing books for children and adults. Games that can be purchased or made inexpensively at home will be suggested as sources for building reading and language skills. A presummer issue will contain local library events as well as those held in Warrenton, Front Royal, Madison, and Culpeper to encourage parents and children to continue reading activities throughout the summer. Parents are encouraged to submit their own successful reading activities and ideas to be included in the newsletters to Lynn Hilleary-Myrtle, Mike Connifey, or Maggi Piper at the elementary school and to Beth O’Bannon or Deborah Mills at the high school. CPR Series Scheduled The series of Red Cross CPR (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation) courses that began this week in Flint Hill will also be offered on March 29, 30 and 31 at the Sperryville Rescue Squad building and on APril 5,6 and 7 at the Amissville Fire Hall Class will be held from 710 p.m. each evening. Cost for the three-day course is $1 to cover textbook expenses. For further information, contact Julian Brown at 987-8758.

Panthers Start Season With Win »y jue mccullough Rap|Mhannock Newt SporU Writer The Rappahannock Panthers opened up their 1983 season on the right track by downing the Panthers from Page, 9-8, at home under conditions more suitable for ice hockey than baseball. Fresh from an outstanding season ont he basketball courts, Mike Leake took the mound in the first inning, fanning two batters. But Page converted off an RCHS mistake and scored the contest’s first run. The Panthers struck back quickly, however, when Pops Aylor stepped up to the plate and smacked a double with Jeff Porter on second and Robert Myers on third to put the home team in front, 2-1. Page countered in the third inning with a smash single, knocking in two runs to go back in front, 3-2. Jeff Porter then did his imitation of Babe Ruth, hit ting a solo home run to tie it at 3-3. It was back to a seesaw battle as a home run by Page gave the visitors a 4-3 advantage. The visitors’ momentum was cut short, however, by a Myers-Aylor double play that ended the fourth inning. Tom Sisk made one of the key plays of the game at the top of the fifth as he laid down a bunt. Porter, Myers and Curtis Foster loaded up the bases and in a hit heard round the county, Aylor sent the ball sailing 360 feet for a grand slam homer and an 8 - 4 lead. The future began to look even rosier as the Panthers turned in their second double play of the afternoon. But crucial errors helped send in enough runs for Page to tie the tally at eight in the seventh inning. Aylor once again came through with a single, stole second and third and when the ball was thrown away, crossed the plate to post the winning run for Rappahannock. “Our good base running won it for us,” said Coach Doyle Dawson. “Despite the frigid temperatures, we managed to hit the ball very well. Mike Leake pitched a good game, avoiding the walk at crucial moments.” He added that the game was going to be won by the team that commited the fewest errors. “We made some early mistakes but Page made more so we won.” “I made my share of errors,” Aylor acknowledged. “But the rest of the team came through and that loosened the pressure on me so I was able to play my game." Aylor had six runs batted in and was three of four at the Slate for the chilly af;moon. Rappahannock’s next contest is a double header at Luray on Thursday. A rematch with Page is set for Saturday. Babe Ruth Tryouts Tryouts for Rappahannock’s entry in the Skyline District Babe Ruth League will be held at the high school field this Saturday, March 26, at 2 p.m. All ballplayers 13-15 years of age are encouraged to participate. Registration forms will be available at the tryouts. RCHS Baseball Schedule March 22 Tues. 24 Thurs. 26 Sat. April 1 Fri. 5 Tues. 8 Fri. 9 Sat. 12 Tues. 15 Fri. 19 - Tues. 26 Tues. 29 Fri.

Bob Crigler, the Madison County game warden, predicts that conditions “should be just about perfect” for the childrens trout fishing carnival on the Rose River when the fishing season opens at noon on Saturday, April 2. “Water conditions should be close to ideal,” he said, “and we have plenty of trout stocked. They are good healthy fish too, and some nice-sized ones among them.” Crigler is referring to the children’s section of the Rose River set aside exclusively for 12-year-olds and younger on opening day. For that one day only, boys and girls will not have to compete with grownups for the best trout fishing locations. The spot set aside for youngsters is a near-ideal three-quarter-mile stretch jones un Winning Team Lynn Jones, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Wayne Jones of Sperryville, is a member of the St. Mary’s College Basketball team that just completed one of its most successful seasons. Playing opponents that included Meredith College, Ravenscroft, Durham Academy and Randolph Macon College, St. Mary’s posted an 11-1 record. Jones is a high school senior at the Raleigh, North Carolina, intermediate college for women which offers the last two years of high school and the first two years of college. £ -FOOT FACTS— Dr. Bruce Vogel Podiatrist Foot Specialist CLUB NAILS A very common occurrence in both men and women is the development of a fungal or club nail. This thickened and many times painful entity has its beginning from a blow to the toenail. It does not have to be one that causes any reaction at the time or even a great deal of pain. Some theories say that too short shoes over a period of time cause "micro-trauma" to the nail. Eventually the nail starts to discolor. It may be a brownish color or it may be difficult to detect. Some people have no symptoms and have the malady for years, while others become painful and sometimes infected in a few months. This may be due to different strains of the fungus. There are different types of treatment for the problem depending on the severity of the symptoms. They range from oral medication, local reduction, to corrective procedures. A public service with the aim of promoting a better foot health environment.

ANNOUNCING THE OPENING EDGAR SNOWDEN LTD. 58 Main Street Old Town Warrenton Across from Post Office —Fine Oriental Rugs —In Home Consultation —Appraisals —Non-Skid Pads —Cleaning 349-1430 Kids Welcomed Opening Day of stocked trout water on the Rose River in Madison County, along Route 670 between Criglersville and Syria. David Myers of Madison, chairman of the Trout Unlimited committee putting together the program, calls attention to the fact that everything is free for the youngsters. There’s no charge for fishing or auto parking, and they don’t need a license. “Bring your own tackle and bait, that’s all we ask,” he said. He recommended any light freshwater tackle, hooks size 6 or 8. Worms make good opening day baits, or try cheese balls or salmon eggs. “I saw one kid catch a trout on a little green marshmallow last year,” he remembered. Adults can accompany their children but cannot fish. Also, members of Trout Unlimited will be on hand to help those who might need instruction on baiting hooks, casting, removing the fish once caught, and so on. “We will be the good guys in the yellow hats,” Myers said. “Bring a stringer to put your fish on, or a plastic bag. Bring your lunch and make an afternoon of it. For more information, phone Dr. Richard Chefetz in Madison, 948-6861.
