By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Nobody likes power lines, water lines or gas lines “but they’ve got to go somewhere,” argued Potomac Edison’s attorney J. Sloan Kuykendall, defending the utility’s “unlimited reasonable use” of a right-of-way granted in 1928. At issue in the hearing held last Thursday in Rap pahannock’s circuit court is whether Potomac Edison may add a second 138 kilovolt line carried on poles 60 to 70 feet high to the existing 34.5 kilovolt line on 20 foot poles without compensation to landowners Bill and Susan Cameron. The line in question runs from Luray to the Sperryville substation. It is one of two that provides power for PotEd’s Rappahannock customers, the other running from Front Royal to the substation. According to testimony from utility representatives, each 34.5 kilovolt line has pressure capable of generating 9,000 kilowatts, enough to meet the existing 7,200 kilowatt demand from county customers. Should one line be put out of com mission through storm damage or other accident, the entire county load would have to be handled by one of the 34.5 KV lines. To ensure adequate power delivery and meet future demands of Rappahannock customers, PotEd is therefore adding a 138 KV line from Luray to Sperryville, according to utility representatives. (A spokesman from PotEd’s Luray office affirms that the line from Front Royal will remain at 34.5 KVs for at least the next 10 years.) Kenneth Nichols, Pot Ed’s area engineering supervisor, told the court last Thursday that the purpose of upgrading the old line is to make additional kilowatts available to Rappahannock customers. Most of (Continued on Page 14) Pick-Up Delayed Trash in the town of Washington will not be collected on Saturday, April 16.

Quizzers Advance Rappahannock’s popquiz team advances to the quarter-finals of the televised scholastic competition tonight (Thursday) in Harrisonburg at station WPVT. They will play Waynesboro at 8:30 that night and a win will put them in the semi-final competition. Coach Roger Flinchum observed that the Rappahannock team is the competition’s youngest and that RCHS was the second smallest in the beginning competition, which started out with 32 entries. Now one of the top eight, a win tonight will put them in the top four. Those interested in cheering for the quiz kids can tune in on channel 51. STARTING HIS CAMPAIGN for re-election, Jackson District Supervisor J.R. Latham shakes the hand of future voter Willie Eastham. Willie was dismayed when informed that he has to wait more than a decade before he gets a chance to vote. Latham Will Seek Re-Election J.R. Latham, current chairman of the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors, announced this week that he will seek reelection as the Jackson District representative in the November general elections. “We have a lot of unfinished business to take care of,” said the three term veteran, of the reasons behind his decision to run again. He pointed to the jail renovation project and a countywide dispatch system for police and emergency services as examples. "I hope the communications network will bring the people of this county closer together and closer to the services they need. It will provide a hotline to police and fire and rescue.” During his 12 years on the board, Latham has been an observer and a participant in the battles over space limitations in the county’s public schools. “I definitely think we need improvements at the high school,” he said, stressing his commitment to staying on the board until a high school building program becomes a reality. Rappahannock Ready With Emergency Plan By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock News Staff Writer In the event of a nuclear attack, Rappahannock has three locations suitable for fallout protection, according to Colonel Dieter Knuepfer, coordinator of Emergency Services here. The buildings designated in the county’s emergency plan are the basements of the bank, Reynolds Memorial Church, and the Rappahannock County High School. Updating the 1980 survey would also add the basement of the clerk’s office in Washington. These sites would be joined by 27 other public or semi-public buildings that could be upgraded quickly by sandbagging. Altogether, they would offer protection to 4,600 county residents. The plan, detailed in a lengthy volume, calls for immediate mobilization of highway crews and local contractors with earthmoving equipment to turn many local facilities to fallout shelters. Joining Knuepfer in the event of such a disaster would be the heads of all the local agencies, each of whom is charged with carrying out their portion of the plan. Rappahannock is not considered as a target, except by error, of a nuclear bomb. Prevailing northwest winds would delay or prevent the radiation from an attack on the Capitol from being a significant danger here, Knuepfer said: an unlucky southeast wind could bring it right to the county’s doorstep. Knuepfer stressed that there are no plans in the county to try to provide fallout protection for refugees from affected areas. There is a plan to accommodate up to 4,700 Arlington residents if Rappahannock is radiationfree. These emergency refugee sites would not be in private homes, except by invitation. Those fleeing the suburbs would be directed by a network of signs to their temporary homes in large!' buildings. The plan deals also with supplies and food for them. “Common sense prevails,” Knuepfer said. “We do have lists, down to how many soup ladles and pots will be needed. It will save us time in case of disaster.” Local supplies would be used first, then supplemented through the regional emergency office in Nelson County. Knuepfer, in his recently assigned role, is anxious to clarify misconceptions about the emergency plan. “It’s most likely use will be in the event of a local disaster,” he said. Earthquakes, widespread fires, chemical spills, floods, blizzards — the plan provides 'Tiwrection in these cases. For instance, in the blizzard of ’83, Knuepfer was in touch with helicopter transport in case it was needed for emergency medical rescue. In one case, it appeared likely, but the transport proved possible by ground vehicle. Knuepfer cited another example. “Suppose we had had to evaculate Sperryville during the flood,” he said. “We’d have to plan to move and care for large numbers of people until the waters subsided.” Knuepfer, a retired army colonel, said that he has some experience in military planning. His office is purely voluntary, and he believes it is essential to plan ahead for disaster. He has a slogan: (Continued on Page 14) Photo b\ franklin Schmidt THE ISSUE OF UTILITY COMPANY POWER will be decided by Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson when he hands down a ruling on Susan and Bill Cameron’s challenge to Potomac Edison. Relying on a right-of-way granted in 1928, the utility maintains it has authority to replace existing 20 to 30 foot poles and a 34.5 kilvolt line with 60-70 foot poles and a 138 kv line without granting the Camerons any compensation. (The old poles are visible just to the right alongside the new poles. The Cameron’s home is on the hill in the upper right hand corner.) School Dental Trailer Gains Partial Approval By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock New* Staff Write r In a meeting interrupted by frequent warnings by Wakefield member Robert Eastham on the disastrous state of the county’s finances, the Rappahannock School Board voted to allow the Health Department to operate a dental trailer on school property but refused to assume any of the operation expenses. Dr. John Einarson, Rappahannock County Health Department Director, asked the board for permission to locate the trailer at the Elementary School and requested assistance with water and electrical hookups. Einarson was accompanied by Drs. Hughes and Savaris, public health dentists in Einarson’s district. Dr. Hughes, the dentist assigned to Rappahannock, estimated that 85% to 90% of his time was devoted to dental work on school children, who presently are transported to the health department in Washington. Citing crowding in the offices and a shortened day due to transportation logistics, Einarson told the board that a trailer on the grounds would greatly increase the service to school children. “These dental trailers (on school grounds) are a tradition in Virginia," Einarson said. “These two expenses (water and power) are all we ask you to assist us with.” Kinarson said that a trailer suitable for Rappahannock use was presently available in Orange County so decision must be made soon. Despite reminders that most of the dental programs clients were school children, members maintained that dental care was a health, rather than a school-related problem. The^ were reluctant to accept Einarson’s assurance that the schools would not be liable for any malpractice charges. “This is a little out of outline of duty,” said Nelson Lane. Lane also was reluctant to have the school board appear to endorse any dentist. “You never know who you might offend,” he said. Hughes responded that he was a salried employee of the United States PublicHealth Service and not in competition with any private dentist. “I’m all for health for poor people, but not on school property,” said Robert Eastham. The conflict was finally resolved when hoard members voted unanimously to allow the trailer, providing an expert review of the situation showed no liability to the board and that there would be absolutely no expenses involved for the schools. 1‘ropogunda K inarson’s presentation came after the three dentists sat through a stormy review of the minutes in which Kastham objected to the inclusion of the Rappahannock Kducational Association’s presentation in the written record. “This is propoganda from the teacher’s union and should not be included,” Kastham said angfily- gfilyKastham also objected to the inclusion of March 22 budget figures which were later revised. “Not a single one of these is correct,” Kastham said. “Kxcept one figure. We should not accept these in the minutes.” Chairman Beverly Massie pointed out the minutes were just a record of proceedings and did not imply approval or agree ment. The board decided to delay (Continued on Page 14) a THE FIRST WINNER of a Fodderstack Classic was Richard Jambrosky, a judge from Reston. Jambrosky ran the race in 1979 - its beginning year, and recorded a time of 35:28. i FODDERSTACK NUMBER TWO was won by Chris Flavin of Washington, D.C., who bested Jambrosky’s time by 20 seconds, finishing the 6-mile race in a time of 35 minutes, 8 seconds. THE RECORD SET by 30-year-old Doug Wood, still stands. The marine, who had placed second in the Washington, D.C. marathon a week before, finished the course in 34 minutes, 17 seconds. LAST YEAR’S WINNER recorded the longest time ever to complete the 10-kilometer course, due to high winds and extreme humidity. Larry Forrester, a visitor to the county from Weston. Massachusetts, finished in 36 minutes. 51 sec County Celebrates Fifth Year Of Fodder stack Classic The fifth annual Fodderstack Classic set for Saturday is an event that has increased in popularity and runner participation since its start in 1979. In that year, 137 runners ran the hilly, scenic course. Winner of the overall race was Richard Jambrosky of Reston, a Fairfax judge who has been urged by his friend, Judge R. V. Snead of Washington, to run in the Fodderstack. At 44, Jambrosky is the olest man ever to have won the ten-kilometer race, and his finishing time of 35:28 is still the best for his age group. Jambrosky had just competed in the Boston Marathon, where he finished 539th out of the 8,000 entries. In the women’s division, Katie Judd finished first, with a time of 47:48, which also gave her a first place in her age group of 19-29. First to finish from Rappahannock was Paul Regan, with a time of 39:21; first Rappahannock woman was Mary O’Meara, with a time of 53:20. The field increased in 1980, with 222 running. Chris Flavin of Washington, D. C. broke the tape that year, with a time of 35 minutes, 8 seconds, a 20-second lead over the 1979 time. Katie Judd clipped 14 seconds off her previous winning time, winning the women’s division easily at 47:34. Rappahannock winners were Charlie Thomas and Mary O’Meara. Entries continued to grow in 1981, as 241 runners lined up in Flint Hill. After 34 minutes, 17 seconds, only one was in sight on Gay Street in Washington. Thirty-year-old Doug Wood, a marine from Quantico, broke the tape and set a course record that still stands. Wood had had plenty of preparation for the windy course: he finished second in the Washington, D C., marathon the week before. Laura Mink, a Washington secretary, could not equal Katie Judd’s time, but in the absence of Judd, finished first for the women at 48:J0. The coveted Eva B. Smith awards were won by Frank Reynolds and Meryl Strange, both second-place finishers in the open category as well. This year included a new, unofficial entry of women pushing baby strollers, won by Pam Weems of Flint Hill and her 10-month old daughter, Laura; and Fatti Metcalf and d-year-old daughter, Anna. High humidity and heavy winds held back times in the 19H2 Fodderstack. An exhausted Larry Forrester took :W> minutes and 51 sec(Continued on Page 6)

oving From Poodles To Pinafores — By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Newa Staff Writer Marilyn Bailey jokingly refers to her family home on the outskirts of Washington as the “Dog House.” It’s been a fitting title for the past decade since it has sheltered four generations of bouncy silver poodles, the inventory that comprises the Bailey’s dog breeding business. But the name may soon have to be changed to the “Fashion House” as pedigrees give way to patterns and puppies to the gingham dresses with muslin pinafors of Marilyn’s newest enterprise. The metal filing cabinets full of records of who sired whom have been moved over to make room for the racks of childrens clothes from Marilyn’s sewing machine.

But then the economic troubles that plagued the rest of the nation reached the Bailey family. Marilyn’s husband, an industrial electrician for 40 years, was laid off his job. “He was nearly 62 years old. He couldn’t start out in a new field. He’d have lost the retirement he’d built up. And with the economy in the shape it’s in, there just weren’t any jobs for electricians,” Marilyn said. Taking Stock “We were trying to stay glued together so I looked around and tried to figure out what saleable talents I had,” she continued. She had only to look as far as the charming little dresses she’d designed over the years for her daughter and grandchild. . “But it was like starting all over again. I hadn’t made some of these since Nina was a little girl,” Marilyn noted, pointing toward the stacks and stacks of patterns displayed on a corner table. “I m not a professional seamstress at all—just a very enthusiastic amature,” she insisted, dismissing the IcOUPWjJ YIORTHJM Off** ENDS WAV 30 each on C^ucflSp mMC CHECK?**' ""bring them to TRUCK SERVICE AND SAVE!

Her efforts say otherwise, however. The little smocks and dresses she makes look like they came straight from the set of a Shirley Temple movie. They have an old fashioned quality—not old fashioned because the styles are out of date but old fashioned because they have the ruffles, frills and lace of the days before little girls were satisfied with blue jeans and teeshirts. Zippers are replaced by buttons and all the button holes are sewed by hand. The two inch hems and narrow skirts of store bought dresses are supplanted by TT7 7 -m -a four and five inch hems and full skirts that rustle and swish. “They’re so feminine,” Marilyn said of her creations. “And I think little girls enjoy being feminine, wearing something feminine. Why not have ruffles and frills?” Quality is the key word in her new cottage industry. “Mass produced clothes you find in department stores are of very sleezy material and craftsmanship,” Marilyn said, wrinkling her nose in distaste. “If you’re going to spend hours making Something, it’s absurd not to use good fabric.” Gingham and calico are her favorites—“the old fash ioned things.” And she carries her taste in fabric over to her choice of patterns. “Most of the ones I use are 25 years old. I’ve kept all the ones I made for Nina and I’ve found some terrific patterns at the Warrenton thrift shop,” she confided. When she tries a new design, she adds her own special flourishes—the deeper hems and wider skirts, buttons instead of zippers, a touch of lace or a muslin apron or bow sash. “I make only one of a kind of everything. Each dress is a little different. You’ve got to do that in order to please customers. There’s a parallel with my dog business. You’ve got to have just the right size and the right color to match individual tastes.” She describes sewing as “an imaginative kind of thing—I see a bolt of material and I visualize it into a garment. I don’t always know when I begin just what it is that I’ll end up with.” She spends 30 to 40 hours a week sewing. “It’s a discipline to be able to sit for any long period of time and I’ve had to teach myself that discipline. I have this theory that anybody wTho can read can sew or cook. I didn’t know how to do either when I got married!” Marilyn added with a laugh. In the 30 or so hours she spends weekly at her machine, she’s produced over 25 perfectly sewn little dresses since (Jhnstmas. She sells them from the Ice House Fabric shop on Main Street in Washington and from her home. In addition to her readymade creations, she’ll take special orders, alternations and other custom sewing jobs. So ar, business has been good, although she hesitates at describing her cottage industry as a success story, at least not j/et. “Nina said I should look at it philosophically,” Marilyn reported, smiling again. “If I don’t sell any, I’ll have enough for gifts and for my grandchildren for the rest of my life!” * AMERICAN CANCER SOOETY* W eleven tSurke Ketires By BERNIE PRICE Rappahannock News Special Writer Weldon Burke, a monument to strength, integrity and hard work in Rappahannock County, has retired from carrying the mail in Woodville. His contributions span almost a half-century of history in this county, beginning with his boyhood on Hazel Mountain to moving from his ancestral home when the federal government took the land for Skyline Drive and Shenandoah National Park. His memories would fill a book. Through it all, he carried with him the conviction that the mail must be delivered. He can recall that over the years, only towering snow drifts and sheets of ice ever prevented him from making his rounds. It was not always easy. There were times when bees built homes in the mail boxes and he had to fight off clouds of yellow jackets to deliver a message from a friend or relative writing back to folks in Woodville. Then were times when the snow drifted so high that he couldn’t even see the road and had to practically feel his way to the mail boxes. Weldon began his career as a mail carrier with a horse, then graduated to a horse and buggy and finally ended with a truck. According to Mr. Burke, he hkd to borrow the cash to buy that first horse. He says he never made any money but adds that the people on his route made life enjoyable. From his early years, he remembers forging four rivers on horseback to get over his route. Many times, he had to hold his feet practically as high as the horse’s head to keep himself and his pouch of mail dry. Weldon delivered more than just letters cm those early rounds. Mis customers were isolated and for many, he was medicine carrier, grocery carrier, their only link with the outside maid for days, even weeks Me traveled over rough dill roads, not the paved, glut eled and ditched thorough fares of today, It was hard work, Mr. Burke recalls, hul his customers appreciated it. At Christmas, they never forgot their mail carrier, al ways leaving him a special gift for his devoted efforts, Weldon was accustomed to effort. He recalls that as a boy on Hazel Mountain, he walked eight to ten miles during summer months to the little school house at Nethers’ Mill. In winter, a roving teacher came to Hazel Mountain to teach, Weldon remembers. This was the only formal education he ever received. But respect came his way despite his lack of hicher academic degrees. His knowledge of people, his love for his God and his kindness to the mountain folks on his route made him a legend in his own way. He’s seen his share of troubles. Weldon remembers with sadness the killer tornado that hit Woodville on May 2, 1929, destroying the Episcopal and Baptist churches and the only school in the community. On a more personal level, he endured the loss of Lizzy, his lifetime mate who rode on home back with him to deliver the mall, and the loss to earner of Ida only aim, (JarHeld Hot tlirnugh It all, he ha« maintained fit* courage, mini e aUav« to Ilia teal Ini * and * omfurt i*o«lal ■ervlce career lhai lagan al Muck Mlll« and I Imid lima l ive I'olka) elided al Wimilvlllc t lila past Manli due In lil« declining health lle'a now enjoying aeml* retirement, helping Ida aonIn law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs, Jimmie Kalla, run their cattle farm and sitting back at the local Woodville store recalling the good old days that will never return.

Yes, says Weldon Burke, but not for the money. Yes, for the service to the people on his route who started as customers and became his friends. _ —Rappahannock News Photo B.

, At Community Center Angry Neighbor Complains Of Noise, Trespassing Claybert Smoot was back before the supervisors at their April board meeting with his by-now annual complaints about excessive noise and trespassing arising from events held at the Washington Community Center and lack of response from local police. “It’s the same problem I’ve had all the time. I can’t sleep in my own house. There are cars in my yard,” Smoot charged. According to Smoot, noise from the Community Center on F odderstack Road continued until 2:30 a.m. on March 5. A car parked in his yard shone its headlights directly at his residence for 25 minutes, Smoot added. “We’ve had one act like this. By God, we’ll have another!” he told the supervisors, referring to the shooting last November of a Flint Hill farm manager. “You’re going to have to bring an undertaker,” Smoot warned the supervisors, adding that he “went out with a rifle with nine bullets in it.” “I’m sure we have laws in this county to protect the peace,” Supervisor J. R. Latham responded, suggesting that Smoot seek a trespass warrent if a vehicle is parked illegally on his property. The trouble makers at the Center’s activities are “all from out of the county, out of the state,” Smoot countered. “They just go wild...There’s nobody there to supervise them,” he said, claiming that Sheriff W. A. Buntin had visited the Center in response to Smoot’s complaint “just so he could say he’d been up there.” “What power does the governing body have over the sheriff?” Robert Eastham asked from the audience. “Can you order him to do this or that?” The supervisors have no authority over any constitutional officers, Latham said. “If they’re not doing their job, we can file a complaint and take them to court.” Smoot said he’d contacted the state police and had been told it was the sheriffs department’s duty to handle the problem. Supervisor Hubert Gilkey asked if the board had passed a curfew ordinance in response to Smoot’s complaints in years past. “A curfew doesn’t have anything to do with somebody pulling up in your yard...The problem is getting somebody up there to get them out,” interjected Supervisor H. B. Wood. Eastham maintained that it’s the awful duty of the governing body to see that order is kept in the county. “If it’s my duty, I’ll accept it but you tell me how I’m going to go about it,” Supervisor Chairman Latham responded. “It seems to me you should have the authority,” said Eastham. “Over whom? Over what?” Wood asked. “If I go out and raise cain in front of Mr. Buntin’s house, somebody wbuld do something about it,” Smoot argued. “It seems like the problem is getting the law to come to your house,” replied Wood. “And in the meantime, Mr. Smoot, don’t go out pulling a gun on anybody!” Eastham cautioned. EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY Estate Eileen M. Day realtor TIME LIMIT FOR LOAN reopie wno try to sell their own homes often run into problems regarding the time factor. By time factor we mean not only the time required for the entire transaction, but also the period required for obtaining a loan. The familiar story usually goes something like this: A person trying to sell their home finds a potential buyer. There are meetings, discussions, forms, more meetings, and finally an agreement is reached. Everything’s fine except for the rather important matter of money. The buyer has to go out and try to get a loan, and this takes time. He assures the seller that he is trying his best to get a mortgage. Time marches on. The seller Keeps checking with the buyer, but gets the same story. . . he can’t seem to get the money. Days drag into weeks, and weeks go into months. Soon it becomes apparent that the buyer really doesn’t want to buy the property and is using the finding of a loan as an excuse to stall. In order to avoid this, a contingency clause in the contract should allow the buyer a certain time period to get a loan OR allow the seller to get a loan for the buyer!

Quick Response “We have responded every time we’ve had a call down there!” reported the sheriff, walking in on the board meeting in time to be asked by the supervisors if they had the authority to order the police to respond. Not only has the sheriffs department answered Smoot’s calls, Buntin added, he was at the scene within three minutes of receiving the latest complaint. According to the sheriff, he found about ten cars—all parked in front - of the Community Center— when he arrived at 12:15 and was told by the individuals that they were ready to leave in just a few minutes. On another occasion, Trooper Harry Newlin did find partyers on the premises at 1:30 a.m., told them to leave and then waited until the center was closed down, Buntin added. “I’ve been up there 20 times or more,” the sheriff continued, reporting that he’d never found any vehicles on Smoot’s property or in his driveway. Eastham asked the sheriff if he considered the Community Center to be a public nuisance. “That’s questionable,” Buntin replied. He reminded the supervisors that at least five other houses are located as close to the Center as Smoot’s yet Smoot is the only person who has come to the board with complaints. supervisor Clarence Baldwin, representative from the district that includes the Community Center, acknowledged that he’d been told by three other persons, including John Burke and Ray Pullen, that they could hear noise from the Center at their residences. “Nobody wants to close the place down...But I have the right to lay down in my own house and rest,” Smoot insisted, asking for controls on bands that play at the Center and people who hang around outside t^builc^ing. Buntin noted that Ed Bailey and Bill Starks, members of the civic organization that, owns the property, repeatedly check the Center when activities are held there. Eastham suggested that Smoot apply for a writ from the circuit court, requiring that “peace be kept” at the Center. “But first you must prove to the judge that they’re creating a disturbance,” he said, adding that violators of a breach of peace writ can be held in contempt of court. The board seconded the suggestion that Smoot pursue his problem through a private attorney. “There are laws to take care of this kind of situation,” Supervisor and former sheriff Charles Estes noted.

Carolyn and her husband Peter live in Hood, (in Madison County) where they are busy fixing up their house raising their son, George, who is six, and their foster son, Michael, who is eighteen. Another foster child, Lynn, is now married with a family of her ow n. Carolyn’s most recent Few Complaints At Road Hearing Local residents handed out more plaudits than complaints to resident engineer Don Askew at the annual road hearing held jointly by the Rappahannock supervisors and the highway department at the April board meeting. Carson Johnson of Sperryville complimented the highway department on a “wonderful job” of maintaining roads in the Piedmont District and Beverly Massie commended the department for work on Route 729 in Jackson District. “The new road surface has held up beautifully,” she noted. In return, Askew had a few good words for the supervisors, reporting that Rappahannock can expect $293,354 in 1983-84 for secondary roads, a five percent increase over the $280,000 projected in the six-year road improvement plan. “We’re in fair shape...This is the first time in five or six years that projections have been higher than what we planned for,” Askew said. He noted that all improvement projects scheduled for completion in the current fiscal year have been finished with the exception of Route 663, slated to wind up this spring. For 1983-84, the six-year plan calls for improvements to Routes 600, 629 and 729 (to Laurel Mills), Askew said. “We’ve had a mild winter, except for one major snow storm. There’s been no big freeze, no spring thaw and extensive breakup... It’s always money in the bank when that happens,” the resident engineer said. E. P. Luke asked when improvements to the bridge on Route 211 between Sperryville and Washington will be completed. “Will it be finished in time for the trafficload at the apple blossoms?” “Blossoms or leaves?” Askew replied. Bridge improvements are scheduled to be done by July 4, he said, adding that the highway department was more concerned about the traffic that streams through the county to view fall folliage and had accordingly postponed the bridge work from last year ror the longstanding runner, an outstanding running shoe.

Wood noted that drainage ditches alongside county roads are filling up with debris as the result of the recent rains. “Maybe with such a mild winter, you can get those cleaned out,” he told Askew. “The drainage ditches are a constant problem,” the resident engineer said, promising to have crews tackle the clean-up chore. Supervisor J. R. Latham relayed a request from a resident of Jackson District for improvements to Route (»b9. The first step would be to secure additional right-ofway, Askew said, suggesting that the request be brought to the hearing this fall on updating the six-year secondary road improvement plan. Culpeper Hearing In another road-related issue, Latham, chairman of the Rappahannock board, and Supervisor * Charles Estes of Piedmont District attended the highway department’s pre-allocation hearing in Culpeper last week to plead the county’s case for four-Ianing of Route I 211 between Washington and Sperry vilie. Reasons cited in support of the project include: —an increase in vehicle per day traffic to l,.r>f>,r> in 1980, —limited sight distance at three major intersections, —inadequate or nonexistent road shoulders, —major business development which generates high volumes of turning vehicles, —closure of passing zones due to the accident potential along the five mile stretch, —high volume of truck trsiffir* —large number of nonstandard private entrances and inadequate commercial entrances, —two school zones on the road, —recommendation in Rappahannock's comprehensive plan that any future commercial development be directed to this area, —flooding of the existing road at the Sperryvillo end of the five-mile stretch during heavy rains. Estes reported on Monday that highway officials at the pre-allocation hearing gave no indication whicli © projects in the district—it' any—would he included for funding in the critical improvement program. He noted that delegates from Prince William County had dominated the session with requests for improvements to Route 2d4. Other petitions presented at the pre-allocation hearing included a request for fourlaning Route 7 from Loudoun County representatives, improvements on Route 2N from Fauquier County, completion of the Warrenton bypass by officials from that town and work on Route d requested by representative from Germanna Community College. job was four years as Activities Coordinator for the Culpeper Memorial Hospital Nursing Home.

Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc. Member. Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 1983 Child Abuse ^nna aDUse is a national disgrace that we must work together to cure. As part of that effort, the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors have followed the lead of Governor Charles S. Robb in declaring April as Child Abuse Prevention Month. Child abuse is on the increase— not just in the nation, but in Rappahannock County, according to the county’s Social Services Department. Who are the abusers? They are your friends, your neighbors, and your relatives. It is a sad irony but many abusers genuinely love their children. Yet they find themselves caught in life situations beyond their control and they do not know how to cope. They are isolated from friends and family, they may not like themselves, they may not know how to get their emotional needs met, they may have no one to give them emotional support. In many cases they are abused as children themselves,and because this is the only kind of parenting they have known, they repeat it with their own children. Abusers often perceive a child as being different or having special needs that set the child apart from other children. The child may seem too passive or too active. The child may be the result of an unwanted pregnancy or may have a birth defect. Sometimes in a family of several children, just one will be singled out as a victim while the others lead relatively normal lives. In other cases, all the children will be abused. Abusers tend to have unrealistic or inappropriate expectations of their children. They may set standards that are impossibly high. They may wrongly believe that children should always be quiet, or never make a mistake. Child abuse does not belong solely in the domain of the poor. Abusers come from all economic, racial, ethnic, and religious groups. Money problems, however—especially the grinding money problem of me poor—coninDuie to aouse. utner stresses, such as a shaky, fight-filled marriage, also contribute to abuse. Why be concerned with preventing child abuse? The effects of child abuse are devastating. In addition to the 2,000 American children who die each year from abuse, for many of those who live, the hurts inflicted on them as children influence their entire lives. And yours. Abused children suffer long-term emotional and developmental problems. Many of the children grow up to abuse their own children. And, childhood histories of abuse and neglect are commonly reported by many adult criminals, juvenile delinquents, and teen-age drug addicts and prostitutes. This means that this community, perhaps even your family, may fall victim to violence and crime perpetrated by those who were once victims themselves—victims of physical abuse, of neglect, of sexual abuse, of emotional maltreatment. The financial cost society bears to deal with the results of child abuse is enormous. The cost in human suffering and wasted individual potential is immeasurable. Child abuse is a community problem; abuse can only be prevented through activities at the community level. The staff of the Rappahannock Social Services Department stands ready to assist with those activities. They are ready to give special programs, to speak on child abuse to local civic groups, church groups and other organizations. They are ready to help individual families find—on an absolutely confidential basis—the support they need to avoid or end child abuse. Call them. Some authorities believe that because abuse results from stress, the stress caused by current economic situations may be having its tragic effect on children. We must all work together to end that tragedy in Rappahannock County. Concerned By Lack Of Respect To the editor: I write as a concerned citizen of Rappahannock County, as a member of our Armed Forces, and foremost as a parent of a student in the Rappahannock School system in response to the letter published in your March 10th issue titled “Parent Charges Discrimination”, by Mrs. Arlene Frye. “I am concerned”, concerned about the lack of respect some of our young people have toward not only the education that they receive but also toward the law. Justice, you say that there is no justice; justice was served. Are there any of us so naive that we can believe that students who have reached that level in their educationand life do not know that they are accountable for their actions, especially “honor students”? Are they not the ones whom other students look up to as an example to be emulated? You use last years incident with alcohol abuse at the high school to voice the opinion that the punishment was too light. I agree. Now that the punishment has been stiffened, are you arguing that it is too stiff or is it that the problem has now reached home? Discrimination? I can not see how the word discrimination ever came into play concerning this incident. As Mr. Robert Eastham stated in his letter to the editor of March 17, the three days suspension was given to all involved. The sanctions given by the school board and the disciplinary committee were given only after each case was reviewed by the board, without knowing the name, race, or prior disciplinary record. I agree with Mr. Eastham in that the sanctions were rediculously light ones. I do believe that there is a common agreement among all that there is room for improvement in our disciplinary system, not only within our school but within the community as well. I think we all need to look at the old adage “Don’t do the crime unless you can pay the time.” As a member of the Armed Forces, it is my duty to defend and uphold the many rights and benefits we enjoy as Americans, and all too often take for granted. I am called on and willingly serve most of my duty in foreign waters and on foreign soils. That means I am separated from my family as much as nine months of the year, therefore I leave them in the hands of that disciplinary system you are so quick to judge. Yes, there is always room for improvement but without the due respect and support of that system, whether by the teacher, principal, school board, local, state, or federal government, we as a community, a nation, and may I add a great nation, will move backwards not forward. FRANCIS L. PAYNE Dancers Perform Laura Crowne and her dance troop will present a modem dance performance at the Warrepton Junior High School this weekend. Shows will be Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 6 p.m. Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for children and senior citizens. Misquoted Sheriff Due to a typographical error in the March 31 Rappahannock News article on the Kidwell trial, Sheriff W.A. Buntin was misquoted. Under direct examination, Buntin testified that he didn’t tell Mrs. Kidwell that he “didn’t want to mess with Ranee Spellman” in their telephone conversation the morning of the shooting. During the paste-up of the paper, the line “tell Mrs. Kidwell that ' he didn’t” was inadvertantly omitted. The News apologizes for the error. Correction The young man pictured on the front page of last week’s Rappahannock News, carrying his rod and reel across the plant bridge over the Rose River, was misidentified. The young fisherman was Justin Ferrence, son of Harry and Sharon Ferrence of Amissville.

My wife called Mr. Bruce (county dog warden) and found that Rappahannock’s facilities for stray and lost or abandoned animals consists of two fenced pens with Mr. Bruce himself supplying the posts. Puppies are kept five days and then destroyed. So, being humane people, we took the puppies to Culpeper. Their charge for out-of-county residents bringing in dogs is $20 per animal. In lieu of the $40 we would have paid for their keep and adoption, my wife donated volunteer time at the shelter. Again today, April 5, another puppy was dropped in our driveway. There are five possibilities as to why people are doing this at our house: 1. They don’t know we atfeady have two dogs and two cats of our own. (All are neutered.) 2. They think we’re rich and can afford to advertise or spend the time and money to find new homes for the puppies. (We are not rich.) 3. They are just ignorant and have no respect for the well-being of the puppies and don’t care what becomes of them. 4. They haven’t the money to neuter their female f dog(s) and have a female dog they really shouldn’t own. 5. This is an harassment technique. We would appreciate and need the following things in our county: a decent animal shelter where dogs and cats can be well taken care of until adopted; provision of an inexpensive neutering program; an end to the abandonment of puppies others are responsible and accountable for at our house. If I find out who is dropping off these puppies in our driveway, I will send you their “papers.” WAYNE KANABY, Viewtown Transformed Theater To the editor: The movies have returned to Washington. Sponsored by RAAC, our first film two weekends ago Was greeted by an enthusiastic audience at the Gay Street Theater which has been magnificently transformed, though not yet completed, into what should be a delightful setting for cinematic and other performing arts through the efforts of an untiring crew of workers. As chairman of the film committee of RAAC, I would like to thank everyone who has been involved for the professional setting and presentation. We welcome and invite the entire community to come to see our outstanding selection of films and to experience our new projectors, new screen, new sound system, new heat plant, and new lobby. Designed by Waldron O’Conner, renovation supervised by “Butch" Zindel, projection supervised by Peter Kreyling; films selected by the committee, food. Our projection equipment was purchased through Commonwealth Audio-Visual, Inc. in Roanoke; sound equipment was donated by Charlie Tompkins of our own community; films are rented from Films. Inc., in Atlanta, Ga., and from Swank in McLean, Va. The whole project is sponsored and supported by RAAC (Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community.) Any omission from the list that follows is unintentional and unforgivable, but I would like to personally thank all those who have played a part in bringing this film series to the county. In addition to those mentioned above let me mention the officers and board of RAAC, and particularly Frank Reynolds. Peter Kramer, Irwin Lesh. Freeman Allan, Georgia and Ted Walsworth, Franklin Schmidt, Helen Holschuh. Laurie Marshall, Marg Dahlgren, Sara Shorter. Dan Lewis, Steve Hostetter, Lyt Wood, Alberta Zuco, Mike Kelly, Dick Ulf, Sid Gottlieb, Mitzie Young, Lorrie Young and Theresa Reynolds. I am sure there are others but all these have played a significant part. Our next showing, “Missing,” is a multiple Academy Award nominee for this year, and the following week we will present last year’s Best Picture, “Chariots of Fire,” chosen specifically as an accompaniment for the Fodderstack Race. We hope we will see you all there. Please buy your ten admission advanced tickets or just come to see the films that interest you. If the series is popular we will have others to follow. Read the News to find out what is playing or call 675-3814. BILL YOUNG Chairman, film committee, RAAC Car Fanciers Invited To the editor: Visiting in the Rappahannock County area one notices numbers of old cars, some of which have been (or are being) restored, others awaiting restoration, and still others that must be classed only as parts cars. Another more highly visible activity is the all-American institution of the yard sale. It’s observation of these hobbies in Rappahannock that prompts this letter. When combined, these two interests approach what is called an old car flea market. Since there is indication many readers have interests in this general direction, I extend an invitation to one of the rapidly growing events in Virginia, the Spring Antique Car Flea Market and Show, which will be held at Fishersville May 14-15. Admission is free, and there will be two old car shows, one to be judged and another that is just a display for anyone who will bring one of their vehicles, original or restored. Entry in the latter is free with plaques for ALL entries. Anyone wishing more information about the event, vendor spaces or judged show can call (703) 943-4976 or write me. The Flea Market will be held at Expoland at Virginia Route 608 and I64 in the Shenandoah Valley near 1-81. I hope I have an opportunity to meet some of your readers who are interested in old cars at the Flea Market. FRANK A. WILLIAMS Route 2, Box 4 Elkton, VA 22827 Ha-Ha To The Bank X V/ UIC CUlLUl . Be aware that your home owners insurance policy can be dropped or some homeowners insurance companies may completely drop you in the event that a high voltage power line crosses your property. For instance, a farmer who has cattle in a field where the lines are located may have so many claims because of livestock hit by lightning that the insurance company will eventually drop him. If lines are too close to your home, one broken wire could easily burn your home completely and effects from lightning and wind storms could be very dangerous. (Your insurance would soon be dropped). Once these lines have been installed, it is your full responsibility. Your health, damages to livestock, loss of home or cancellation of insurance coverage is of no concern to the electric company. The value of your property will be greatly decreased and you will continue paying the same real estate tax as before. You will be left paying your taxes on an unsightly bit of land and the electric company, in the meantime, will up your electric bills and “ha-ha-ha” all the way to the bank. JACQUELYN A. FOX WILLIAM T. WAYLAND —From Both Barrels— Integration By Quotas By GEORGE BOWLES Somehow the Federal parties involved in Virginia’s seemingly endless college desegregation controversy appear to be missing the main point of the exercise. They are wrangling over numbers in the abstract. Their proper concern should be attracting students to the admissions offices of the colleges. From the rhetoric of the federal Office of Civil Rights and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund Inc., one might reasonably conclude that the squabble is taking place two decades ago when the Commonwealth’s institutions of higher learning were indeed segregated. Even a decade ago, when the maintenance of racially separate institutions of higher learning had long since ceased to be the official policy of the state, efforts to attract black students to predominantly white colleges and vice versa were only half-hearted and largely perfunctonary. Social pressures, which can be qc qo Innral sanctions; effectively preserved the historic patterns of segregation. It was then that the imposition of quotas, which were euphemistically called “goals”, entered the picture. They were greeted by then Gov. Mills Godwin and the state’s conservative establishment as the coming of a second Reconstruction Era. But with the advent of Gov. John Dalton s administration in 1978, public sentiment had shifted to the extent that it was politically possible for Mr. /Dalton to reach a detente of sorts with the federal government on the desegregation controversy. He moved the state off dead-center in its dealings with the Office of Civil Rights,and the spirit of confrontation gave way to one of at least tentative accommodation. To the dismay of Mr. Dalton’s conservative supporters, the goals were agreed to, and the struggle seemed to be over. But the goals aside, both predominantly white and predominantly black schools had long before opened their doors to students of the other race. Not only were the doors opened, but active recruitment efforts to find opposite-race students were well under way. These efforts to bring a greater degree of racial balance to the schools have been accelerated under the Robb administration, and there can be no doubt of his administration’s commitment to full equality of educational opportunity. But an odd thing happened on the state’s road to higher education integration. There have not been enough qualified black young people applying to predominantly white schools, or enough qualified young white people applying to predominantly black schools, to meet the goals. This development has' frustrated and angered both the Office of Civil Rights and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. The latter has gone to court and obtained an order requiring Virginia to conform to the goals by next year. Gov. Robb and state Secretary of Education John Casteen are understandably outraged by the order. Students going to college cannot, after all, be told what college they must attend. Further, Mr. Robb and Mr. Casteen have been in the forefront of the efforts to make certain that all Virginia institutions of higher learning are opened to any qualified student who seeks admission regardless of his or her race. They say they are prepared to take their own case to court if necessary. The point is that the “goals”, which were initially thought to be guidelines which would be useful in encouraging the state to achieve a more equitable balance in its colleges, have now become ends in themselves. Since this is so, they are no longer goals but are now quotas, purely and simply. Not only are they quotas, but they are irrelevant quotas. The object is, or ought to be, to provide the best possible educational advantage for all young Virginians. Any tax-supported institution of higher education in the Commonwealth must, needless to say, be open to any youngster who qualifies for admission and to any faculty or staff applicant who is qualified for the job. The emphasis now should be on making certain that our colleges and universities provide excellence in the services they offer. If they do that, the racial make-up of the student bodies and faculties should cease to be an issue. Desegregation is essential in our institutions of higher learning, as indeed it is in all institutions in a free society. But there is a vast difference between desegregation and integration-by-quota. The former is an objective of harmony and working together which should be the goal of all concerned and caring Virginians. The latter, however, can only perpetuate the divisiveness of the past. After all, the key to genuine desegregation is not a numbers game but a broad consensus of social acceptance and recognition of worth. Although it is painfully slow, Virginia is making demonstrable progress toward that goal. But in spite of this, people in a free society can’t be compelled to attend a college they don’t want to attend. It would be helpful if the Office of Civil Rights and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund people recognized this fact. Claims Agent Here Again The Veterans’ Claims Agent for the five-county area served through the Front Royal office will resume visits to Rappahannock, beginning April 15. Edwin L.

Students Write About Williamsburg Trip Mike Dunn One of the places we visited in Richmond was the Museum of Fine Arts. It included all forms of art such as paintings, sculptures, tapestries, and metal-made designs. Most of the art came from France, Italy, United States, and Britain. There was much modern art there. Modern art is a way of expressing one’s emotions through color and pattern. Tabitha Woodward The last place we went was the Science Museum in the old railroad station.

Wakefield Magazine Marked Superior “Talisman," the student literary and arts magazine of Wakefield School, has been awarded a critical rating of “Superior” by the Southeastern Interscholastic Press Association, according to headmaster William Lynn. The school's one-year-old newspaper “The Hoot” received a “merit” citation for Class I newspapers in judging by the same association. SIPA, a program of the School of Journalism of the University of South Carolina, annually judges hundreds of high school folk, art, and literary magazines and newspapers throughout the south and ranging as far west as Oklahoma. The superior rating ranks “Talisman” within the top grouping of such publications in the thirteen state region, the second successive year Wakefield has achieved such an honor. “We strive with the magazine to represent quality contributions from ail grades,” noted faculty advisor Freeman Allan, “but our focus is on the more mature creative abilities of our juniors and seniors, whose writing best embodies techniques learned in successive preparatory level composition classes. It gives us great pride and satisfaction to have these abilities recognized favorably in comparison with other schools across the south.” Libraries Celebrate National Library Week County libraries prepare to celebrate National Library Week next week, April 17-23, with the theme “go for it! use your library.” At the High School, librarian Beth O’Bannon points out that the school library is now a media center as well as a source of books for references and enjoyment, offering videotapes, projectors and equipment of all kinds. Lucia Kilby, Elementary School librarian, is conducting the spring book fair during library week, offering a selection of paperbacks from 50 cents to $5.00. All the books available will be on hand, with no orders taken this time. And at the Rappahannock County Library, overdue books will be accepted fine-free during the week. k AMERICAN ^ CANCER SOOETY® WATCHING THEIR CLASSMATES win the March 17 Pop Quiz competition, these high school students make use of their library.

Dameron 46:33 Ann Marie Snyder 62:11 Emily Vawter 81:10 Frank Reynolds 38:46 Mary O’Meara 51:06 Favorites Return For Fifth Fodder stack According to Diane Bruce, Fodderstack Race chairman, five of the top twenty front-runners from last year’s fourth annual event have pre-registered this year and will gather at Flint Hill on Saturday to make this race the most competitive ever. Bruce said that John Guthrie, last year’s number two man who finished in 37:14; Randolph Wingfield, number 16 with a time of 42:00; Phillip Strange who finished just ahead of Wingfield at 41:53; John Unger, number 12 at 41:40; and Frank Reynolds, number four last year and first Rappahannock finisher writh his time of 38:46, all plan to return to the hilly, scenic 6.2 mile course. Guthrie did not qualify for the coveted Eva B. Smith award last year because of his part-time residency in the county. Race fans heard him remark then that he would be back this year as a full-time resident. If so, he will be a real challenge to two-time Smith award winner Frank Reynolds who has told the News pJXmeriGas—. SHENGAS DIVISION 327 No. Royal Ave Front Royal.

Hardwick Ranges Ruud Water Heaters Space Heaters TF that age may be catching up to him in his last Fodderstack before he turns forty. “I just can’t predict what will happen,” Reynolds said. Rappahannock resident Strange is also seen as a real contender although sources close to the Castleton runner say that training may have suffered due to Strange’s role as a new father. Reports from some local road watchers note that Bobby Settle, Dave Fannon and John Bourgens have put in a lot of miles and some real surprises may come from this group. c. Surprising results may also be achieved by Vinnie DeLuise, who has tripled his training efforts over last year, and Peter Quinn, a strong runner who has been at a constant disadvantage in the past from starting five or ten minutes late. If he goes off with the others, watch him. But perhaps the biggest threat to this group of Fodderstack veterans will come from a trio of determined high school runners. Previously, these boys were prohibited because of Athletic Association rules from competing in the race. This year, however, the rules have changed and the boys are ready. Scott Keithly, who has run a 4:38 mile, is RCHS’s best bet for the distance. “I love hills,” says Scott. “This gives me an advantage because I’m not afraid.” Pacing Scott will be Ronnie Atkins, RCHS number two distance runner, chal lenging his friend on this year’s team, and continuing the friendly rivalry in the Fodderstack. Running right with Scott and Ronnie will be Ricky Shaw, a long strider who reportedly does his best after five or six miles. The three teen-agers hope to push each other along Saturday with an eye toward wresting the Eva P Smith award from the older men. . > ‘ For the youngsters, Bruce expects strong finishes from two teams of brothers: Matthew and Michael Owings and Bart and John Secrist. The women’s race also promises exciting competition this year. Marti Nelson, the women’s record holder, is 'returning to defend her winning time of 47:05. Merrill Strange, Rappahannock woman winner in the 1981 race, has resumed training interrupted by the recent birth of her first child. Sherrie Waggoner, last year’s 13th place woman has greatly increased her training regimen and is said by some to be the one to watch. Mary O’Meara, three-time Eva B. Smith winner, has not registered as yet but fans are hoping she’ll return to protect her title. Bruce has heard that the Mink sisters - Susy and Laura - are planning to join the field on Saturday, although they haven’t registered as yet. If they do, they’re a sure bet to finish at the top of the women’s category.

In the over-sixty category, Bruce reports a strong field, with locally-famous Ray Gordon, who holds the record in this class, and Rappahannock favorite John Marocchi. No word yet from Emily Vawter, who has been each Fodderstack to dat&. The Fodderstack hopefuls include a seventy-year-old entry this year who is the oldest registered so far. Nor will the special classes be neglected, with Suan Cameron preparing to push a stroller for 10 kilometers and Diane Wood joining her with her infant son carried in a snuggly. Two new classes will increase trophies: the 19-29 category has been split into two five-year segments as has the 30-39 class. The first twenty men and women will receive special T-shirts, donated by Roy Wheeler Realty Company in Warrenton, the Fodderstack’s major sponsor. Running For Seniors Look for an autographed white blouse in the Foddersstack race as Faye Crescenti has returned from Florida just in time to limber her limbs on the hills for the benefit of the Rappahannock Senior Citizens. She raised over $320 last year by having individuals and businesses sponsor her at the rate of 10 cents, 25 cents, 50 cents, $1.00 and $5.00 per mile. Since the race is a bit over six miles, the two Amissville businesses who went for the $5.00 per mile, assuming the old lady could only do two miles, were surprised. By doing some warm-up running in Florida, she finished the race, not first but certainly not last. She and the special friends she serves hope the community will be generous again this year. Even though Faye has resigned a paying job with the Community Services of Rappahannock, she works very closely with the group at the Episcopal Church, giving at least one day a week with them and cooking for them at their summer cookouts on Skyline Drive. Please contact Faye, Betty Jo Allison, Barbara Gentry or Alice Pullen. Any pledge is welcome and will be collected the two weeks following the race and the first week in May. County Celebrates Fodder stack Continued from Page l1 onds to cross the finish line. Entries were down, perhaps because of the weather, and only 213 lined up in Flint Hill. First woman to finish was Linda Sue Gribben at 49:13; first Rappahannock woman was Mary O’Meara with a time of 51:06. Frank Reynolds won the Eva B. Smith award once again for the men. Once again, unofficial categories were established; one for horses and one for hogs of 200 or more pounds, both classes represented last year by unregistered entries who joined the twolegged runners in the course of the race. Fodderstack Day Events Fodderstack day activities have also grown over the years and this year, promise to provide enough entertainment to fill the whole day. The Washington Baptist Church is again holding its annual spring event from 10:00 until 2:00. Among the items sold are box lunches, hot dogs, baked goods, plants and miscellaneous “treasures” from the attic. The Rappahannock High School Girls’ Volleyball team will also have baked goods for sale at the courthouse. Proceeds from the sale will go for sending the girls to volleyball camp. At the Rappahannock Medical Center, the office staff will be having a yard sale. Buses leave at 8:30 and 9:00 a.m. from the Rappahannock County Park, taking runners only to Flint Hill. At 10:00 the starting gun goes off for the Fodderstack Classic. Right after the last runner comes in, the awards ceremony takes place at the courthouse. At 1:30, there will be a County Birthday Reenactment at the Washington House, followed by a pet show, sponsored by RAAC, and a horseshoe pitching contest, both on the field next to the Cash Store. Chariots of Fire will appear at the Gay Street Theater, both at 4:00 and at 8:00. This year’s Fodderstack Classic Race is sponsored in large part by Roy Wheeler Realty Company.

' At Old Dominion Diehard Fans Rewarded With Best Racing Of Season By JUNE RUHSAM Arundel Newspapers Equestrian Writer Because of rain, mud and sodden footing, only the true steeplchase diehards ventured to Ben Venue for the Old Dominion Hunt point on Saturday. About 1200 did— and were rewarded with some of the best racing of the season. It was the first bad weather for this race meeting at the Easthams’ farm since its inauguration here in 1976. And officials, who ordinarily have to brave the elements all day, were able to be under cover in the sturdy new stand. The Big Cobbler, ownerrider hurdle race, had six starters—two of them former winners of this race, Jay Barr’s Pill Mill in 1981 and Hall of Famer last year. David Moyes’ Joannes Brother set the pace for the first turn of the rolling course, to be joined midway over the sixth fence by Double Sparkle and Hall of Famer. Then Michael Powers’ Fleet Buster took the lead and was on top for the last two fences, but Randy Waterman sent Hall of Famer after him down the stretch to win by a neck. Third was Chick Owens’ Double Sparkle, followed by Willie McCormick’s Rehab, and Pill Mill was pulled up. Donald Shepherd made up for last week’s error in cutting a flag by winning the Old Dominion Hunt Cup, featured owner-rider timber race. This first win for Shepherd and his In for a Tag, who has been second three times in the Seven Comers Series, now places them one-half point ahead of Don Yovanovich and Chief P.O. In for a Tag and Gary Hawkins’ Bowles Ruler ran and jumped almost together, trading the lead several times during the last mile of this three and one quarter mile timber race. At the last fence In for a Tag was in front. Bowles Ruler failed to take off in time, hit hard and fell, but rider Hawkins, who had teeth loosened in the spill, remounted to finish second. Third was the early leader, David Moyes’ Spare Change. Hawkins, who comes all the way from near Boston, Mass., to compete, keeps his horse in training here with Albert Poe. Again the ladies put on a good show with their timber race which was the first event over fences. Susan Sutula and her Too Far Gone set the pace, followed by Patti Cassel and her Splashy Lea, last year’s winner of this race. Behind them were Sandra Worsham on El Dinero and Hilary Thompson riding Roy Graham’s Boca Bird, all spread out by five lengths. Then the pace quickened the last mile with Splashy Lea taking the lead at the third last fence and Boca Bird closing rapidly. It looked like a possible win for the Bird, but Splashy Lea has a tremendous finishing lick, which she turned on to win by three and a half lengths. Third was Too Far Gone. After accepting the trophy, Miss Cassel gave credit to her friend and competitor Susan Sutula, who has been exercising Splashy Lea ever since Miss Cassel’s fall at Blue Ridge when she broke her collar bone. Only three horses went to the post for the maiden hurdle race, but it developed into a good contest. Showing their greenness over the fence at the top of the hill, the three were spread out by several lengths for the first half of the course with Double Dog leading and Kiev next. Then Trojan Blade came jutXJuUuuUUoUUUyl GOLDEN CORRAL Give Yourself A Taste Treat!

Trojan Blade landed on top over the last, and Hilary Thompson in a brilliant hand-ridden finish sent him across the wire two lengths to the good of Pamela Sue Evans’ Double Dog, Willie McCormick up. Third was Oliver Brown’s Kiev, ridden by Don Yovanovich. It was the first trip over fences for the winner, owned by Herbert Poland and trained by Tommy Lee Jones. The open timber race became a walk-over when Seneca Valley Farm’s Land Landing was the only horse to appear in the paddock. Don Yovanovich galloped the 1981 horse-of-the year around the course to qualify for the trophy and championship points, which now place her in a tie with Splashy Lea for the leading mare award. Another good threehorse race was the Thumb Run, open hurdles. Yves Henry on his newly acquired Counterspy led by five to ten lengths for the first mile and a half. Then Frozen O’Jay, Don Yovanovich up, caught him at the third last fence, led by a length over the last two and went on to win by three. Becky Armstrong, owner and wife of trainer Ronnie Armstrong, was excited by the win of her first race horse, a half-brother of the good steeplechaser Hard Water Man. Second was Counterspy, followed by Don Diz, Ford Rogers ridiner. George Strawbridge, coming from behind and thus covered with mud at the finish, won the flat race at the end of the day. Juliet Bishop on T. W. Bullit’s Wild South led from the start until the stretch, when Strawbridge’s Hawaiki galloped by to win by a length. Third was Dr. William Wright’s Double Recipe, ridden by Hilary Thompson. Three junior flaj /races at one mile started the afternoon’s program. First to go were the small ponies. Winner was Vicky Greer’s Brandy Alexander I, In the large pony division Blythe Miller rode Lance Nelson’s Red Raven—once campaigned by Ricky Hendricks—to win. Hill Parker won the horse division on Frances Hill Myers’ Drabo. Second was Joey Clancy on his Ski Lift, followed by Lauren Smith on Jets Demon and Samantha Williams on Allen Olson’s old fashioned pointto-point winner Shandy. 17th Annual OWLN1D9 pariT-TO-POiMT ^ L 1L. _ I/I LI 1C Loudoun Hunt _ SUNDAY, APRIL 17 Gates Open at Noon - Post Time 2 p.m. Featuring Seven Races Hurdle Races The Mr. Stripper Memorial Vh miles for amateurs First Colony Life Ins.

Panthers Back On Track This was probably the best game we’ve played since the season opener,” said a pleased RCHS Panther coach after Tuesday’s home contest against district opponent Manassas Park. Doyle Dawson was smiling despite his team’s 6-5 loss to the Cougars. “It was a well played game—relatively error free. And I got great defensive effort from our outfielders, Mike Leake, Curtis Foster and Tom Sisk—really superior play. They cut down at least three runs.” The afternoon started off on a Rappahannock roll as the Panthers scored four runs off four hits in the first inning. Jack Jenkins smacked a double and Tim Settle and Jim Williams were both credited with RBIs. “I hen they brought in their best pitcher, probably the best we’ll see all year. He threw 14 strike-outs,” Dawson reported Rapp’s only other run came in the fifth when a Curtis Foster single sent Pops Aylor across the plate. On the mound for the Panthers, Jeff Porter held the Cougars tor the first inning but they began connecting in the second, tallying three runs from two hits, two walks and one error. “Two of the three runs were unearned,” Dawson maintained. “They had runners on second and third and the ball slipped right through the legs of our man.” Porter piched 4% innings before being replaced by Leake and through it all, the Manassas Park visitors continued to swing the big bat. The Cougars scored one in the forth off two hits, one in the fifth on a double and a triple and one in the sixth off two hits and two walks. “But we only had three errors,” Dawson noted. “One was important because it cost us two runs but that wasn’t the difference in the game. We just couldn’t hit their best pitcher and they started hitting ours! We gave up four doubles and we walked too many batters. Their best pitcher came in and shut down our hitting attack,” the coach explained, adding, however, that the Panthers demonstrated on Tuesday that they are again on the right track. climb back in the win column this week when RCHS faces Brentsville on Wednesday and Stonewall on Friday, both away contests. WAKEFIELD SCHOOL’S varsity lacrosse team will inaugurate its spring season with a scrimmage against Woodberry Forest School at Woodberry next week. Coach for the Wakefield Owls is Peter Quinn. Series Standings Even Tighter After Pairs Race At Ben Venue By JUNE RUHSAM Arundel Newspapers Equestrian Writer Results of Saturday’s Old Dominion Hunter pace races brought the series standings even closer. In the fast time division Sally Cunningham on Emily and Mike Brown on Timbocktoo from Rappahannock Hunt traversed the three miles in a winning time of 7:02. Their victory gives them a tie for first in the series with the second-place finishers Robert Pillion on Miller’s Reply and Barry Batterton on Jonathan from Blue Ridge Hunt. Third was the team of Daphrie Laimbeer on Etoile Du Soir and Eva Dahlgren riding Csonka. Optimum time was set at 9:54 and the senior division team coming closest at 10:04 was Liz Dubenitz on April Mist and Chip Copper on Demon from Casanova Hunt.

In the junior division the Casanova Hunt team of Jeanne Fendley riding Baby Snooks and Bonnie Tweed on Strawberry Delight beat their closest competitors, the Bull Bun pair of Dawn Dugan on copy Right and Amy Krenytzky riding Winter Warning, to turn the leadership around once again as the Casanova team leads by one point.

-Passin’ The Time At Settles By HOB BAYNE Baepanannoek Newt Staff Writer For the past three months all anyone’s ever talked about around here is Sampson,” complains the man in the red flannel shirt who sits at a card table with some of the other evening regulars. “I’m sick and tired of hearing about Ralph Sampson.” The man’s name is Runt and he says he doesn’t mind if his name appears in print that way. “Runt’s what they call me,” he announces with a flourish, “and so I take it as my proper name...proper nickname, that is. We all have nicknames. That guy there is Chicken Welch.” Runt points to the man across from him who, doffing a hunter’s cap, smiles in acknowledgement. “Chicken Welsh is what they call me,” he affirms proudly. “Everyone in Flint Hill knows me by that name.” The place of this friendly gathering isn’t some smoky bar. It’s the back of Settle’s General Store in Flint Hill where some of the local clientele have gotten together to pass the time and shoot some bull. Participating in the session are the Settles themselves: Mr. and Mrs. Richard Settle and -two of their three children, Tammy and Bubby, both grown and married. Mrs. Settle, a pretty, petite brown-haired woman, has helped in the store and pumped gas out front since 1972 when the Settles bought the store from Emory Russell. “Ever since we opened we’ve had a localcontingent that meets here almost every night,” she says now. “They discuss all the really important things like sports, hunting, and fishing. There were some real wild arguments in here during football season when the Redskins were winning. You see, some of the boys are Dallas fans.” And just who are ‘the Boys’? Well in alphabetical order, they are: Junior Poley Atkins, Garfield Bourke, Mr. Bradford, Jerry “Kingfish Foster, Mr. C. B. Gilpen, Pete Jenkins, State Trooper Harry Newlin, and of course, Chicken Welsh and Runt. And who among them dares to be Cowboy fans in this wildly partisan Redskin county? “The only die-hard Dallas fan among us is the Trooper, here,” says Runt, pointing a finger at the culprit. “Say hello, Harry.” Harry blushes a little and lowers his head.- Undeterred, Runt continues, “Harry promised to buy us all Super Bowl tickets if the Redskins beat Dallas in the playoffs. We’ll never let him live that one down.” Exchanges like this one have helped make Settle’s a firmly-entrenched Flint Hill institution. Before coming to Flint Hill eleven years ago the Settles lived in Laurel Mills where they also owned and operated a small general store. “We’ve been storekeeping for almost 18 years,” comments the senior partner of the Settle team, Mr. Richard Settle. “The kids have helped in the store since they were tall ertough to reach the cash register.” Both Bubby and T^mmy attended Rappahannock Elementary and Rappahannoek High School and today live within walking distance of the store and their parents’ home adjacent to it. Tammy is married to the aberrant Dallas fan, Trooper Harry Newlin. She and her mother have worked out a clever cooking arrangement to cut down on their hours in the kitchen. “I cook onp —Rappahannock News Photo/Rob Bayne CHICKEN WELCH, (1), a regular at Settle’s, relaxes with a bag of cheese popcorn for a friendly chat with another regular. Crusaders Collect For Cancer Asking yourself questions about your health and lifestyle and giving answers or seeking them out may help save your life, according to the Rappahannock Unit of the American Cancer Society. A persons’ risk of developing cancer increases with age. It depends on lifestyle and one’s personal and family medical history. During the Cancer Crusade Fund drive that began on April 4, local Crusaders will be distributing a new- mass folder, “Your Self-Test on Cancer Risks,” which describes several important aspects of cancer risks or warnings. Frances Lyne and Cleo Louis are leading this year’s Crusade. Those who want to make a donation to the fund raising drive but haven’t been visited by a door-todoor Crusader may mail contributions to Mrs. Lyne at Rt. 1, Box 465, Washington, Va. 22747 or Mrs. Louis at Box 173, Sperryville, Va. 22740. Rappahannock’s fair share goal for 1983 is $3,300. In addition to door-to-door donations, memorial contributions will be counted towards that goal. This tribute to someone loved may be given to a volunteer Crusader or mailed to Mrs. Frank Spaulding, Box 177, Flint Hill, Va. 22627.

Rappahannock Journal •Farm •Business •Garden •Rural Life One Wav To Choose Which Farmland To Protect? In nearby Clarke County, planners have adopted a method for identifying and rating farmland according to a system developed by the U.S. Conservation Service. The system, called LESA (Land Evaluation and Site Assessment) helps local governments determine which lands should be set aside for agriculture - and how to rate a specific site to justify retention of an agricultural use. LESA can also be used to decide the minimum parcel size for subdivision in farm areas; plan water, sewer and transportation projects; and develop guidelines for conversion of farmland into non agricultural uses. Lue Wallers, Rappahannock’s District Conservationist, said that his office is presently working on its part of a plan for Culpeper and one for Hanover County. “This system does work on the premise of protecting good farmland,’’ Walters' said. "But it is not a zerogrowth system. There has to he growth in any community.” Because the LESA system does allow for growth in a fair, previously determined way, it has held up in court as a defensible base for planning decisions. LESA is divided into two parts. In the first, farmland is evaluated for quality. In the second, particular sites are assessed for their economic and social importance as farmland. The Soil Conservation Service has computer programs that will help with land evaluation. The farmland evaluation part of the system takes into account the soil capabilities, its productivity and potential. This part of the evaluation requires a technical committee made up of a local farmer soil and water conservation district director, extension agent, county supervisor and SCS representative. The first step in evaluation is to choose which category the land fits in: cropland, forest land, or rangeland. The soils are then classified, depending on how they fit these rating systems: Land capability classification. A U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) systrem of classifying soils according to their potential for Field crops or pasture. Seven classes and four subclasses indicate the limitations of each type of soil. This system is the most widely used land-rating scheme in farmland protection. Important farmland. A USDA rating system that places land in one of four groups: prime farmland, unique farmland, land of statewide importance, and land of local importance. 4CSC NEWS PIK Program Successful Here Tom Taylor of the ACSC office here reports a successful acceptance of the Payment-in-Kind (PIK) program in Rappahannock. Farmers in the PIK program agree to take a percentage of their fields out of production of certain grains in return for grain from surplus stockpiles, to be sold in the farmer’s name or given to him for his own use. In the wheat program, 12 out of 15 farmers signed up, assigning 149.9 acres of the total Rappahannock wheat acreage of 363.3 for conservation use. Thirty-four out of 104 corn farmers signed up, putting 1,078 out of 2,855.4 acres into conservation use. Cropland taken out of production by the Paymentin-Kind and other land diversion farm programs will be devoted to conservation uses to protect it from soil and water erosion. The land designated for conservation uses must be eligible cropland which meets certain requirements. The land taken out of production must have been devoted to row crops or small grains in two of the last three years. The land may not be harvested, and grazing is not allowed between April 1, 1983 and October 1, 1983, except on winter w heat acres which were seeded before the Payment-in-Kind program was announced. Conservation practices such as annual, biennial or perennial grasses and legumes must be established on cropland taken out of production as soon as possible after the normal planting period for spring crops. r UCTION (Absolute Sale, Heavy Equipment Saturday, April 23,1983 11:00 a.m •Blow Knox Asphalt Paver, mdl.

The big Angus bull, weighing in at 1267 pounds (actual) recorded the highest weight at one year of any Angus bull in Virginia for the past 25 years. The bull later sold to Gary Wilson of Earlysville for $5,000. He was the highest seller in the show. Hungry Jack 12 is the offspring of Hungry Jack and a Pathfinder Cow. He was raised at Ginger Hill, home of Mr. and Mrs. Newbill Miller of Washington. And if Gentlemen which have little else to do, would be ruled by me, I would advise them to spend their spare time in their gardens; either in digging, setting, weeding, or the like, than which there is no better way in the world to preserve health. Gentlewomen, if the ground be not too wet, may do themselves much good by kneeling upon a cushion and wedding. And thus both sexes might divert themselves from idlenesse and evil company. William Coates 1656 Open To Midnight The Merrifield Post Office at 8409 Lee Highway in Merrifield will remain open for business until midnight on Friday, April 15, in order to accommodate last minute mailing of federal income tax returns. Soil productivity. A method of rating soil according to expected crop yields under specified management practices. Soil potential. An alternative to the soil productivity method. It indicates the relative quality of a soil for a particular use compared with other soils in a given locale. The site assessment takes into account land use, distance to an urban area, distance to a sewer, size of the farm, and other factors. This part of the system is done solely by community officials such as the planning and zoning board, county supervisors and a developer representative. LESA has been tested. To avoid costly mistakes, the SCS set up a pilot program in 12 counties in six states. including the Clarke County system in Virginia. To date, there has been no disapproval. How practical is it fof Rappahannock County? “It’s applicable to any county with an interest in its resources and where agricultural products play a key role. It is most applicable to still-rural communities that want to control and direct development in a fair, ethical way,” said Walters. To do the ground work and put this system in place takes a matter of months. To set up this system, counties must request the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District, Walters said. He added that the SCS is most anxious to help Rappahannock develop a LESA system of its own.

• Farm Land Loss Is Critical Issue Every day in the United States, four square miles of the nation’s prime farm lands are shifted to uses other than agriculture. The thief is urban sprawl. Today, there are highways and houses, airports and shopping centers on land that once produced an abundance of grain and timber, forage, vegetables and fruits. There are motels and reservoirs, industrial parks and power plants on land where farmers once grazed their cattle and harvested crops. American agriculture is hailed as the most productive in the world. In 1980, the value of agricultural exports exceeded 40 billion dollars. American farm products feed this nation’s population, they mean the difference between life and death to millions of less fortunate people whose lives are marred by chronic hunger, and they are essential to a favorable balance of trade. But as populations expand and the need for food increases at home and abroad, one wonders: What does the continuing loss of this country’s best farm lands portend for the future? How long will it be before the farm land loss severely cripples farm land production? One conservationist puts the issue in sharp perspective: “Ten years from now, Americans should be as concerned over the loss of the nation’s prime and important farm lands as they are today over shortages of oil and gasoline.” As prime farm land disappears, food is not the only loss. The quality of lives is diminished. There are garish signs and glaring storefronts where leaves once caught the rain and filtered the sunlight There is asphalt where fields and woods once beckoned and refreshed the spirit. There is the loss, also, of The plough is one of the most valuable of man’s inventions; but long before it existed the land was in fact regularly ploughed and still continues to be ploughed by earth-worms. - Charles Darwin *** Public Auction Thursday, April 14 Saturday, April 16 7:30 p.m. each evening Located: Jenkins Auction House Gay St., Washington, Va.

Clearly, then, the farm land loss demands immediate attention. As this century nears its end, as demands for food and competition for land accelerate, the most important question to face the nation may well be: How can we direct urban development to less productive areas, and thereby protect irreplaceable prime farm land acres from further encroachment?

According to Phyllis Swindler, whose family owns Country Manor in Sperryville, Americana is expected to be just as strong for at least another year. Phyllis said that buyers for large stores expect that American antiques, pottery, toys, quilts and stenciled objects will be even more in demand than ever through next Christmas. “And, every year, there seems to be one or two items especially popular,” said Phyllis. “In the last few years we’ve had pigs, chickens and unicorns. This year is expected to be the year of the teddy bear.” If past experience with home marketing holds true, soon the little bears will pop up on everything ijpm boxes to handbags. Meanwhile, lor cal shops offer a'Targe selection of items _ portraying barnyard animals, gifts of wood, pottery and natural fabrics, indicating that “high tech” has yet to make any inroads in this county. For new homeowners just starting out with a decorating scheme, Phyllis recommends classics: white oak baskets of simple and durable styles, bright pieced quilts in traditional patterns, classic furniture of good design and construction. 1 PUBLIC MUTISM I r Saturday 9 April 16 10:00 a.m. Located in Rappahannock County Approximately 4 miles Jrom Sperryville on Rt. 231 !

Grassed Waterway Recommended A grassed waterway is orte of several methods to control erosion. This practice applies to areas where there is natural drainageways or low areas in land. “One way to keep land from eroding into a gully and preventing damage to equipment is to keep these problem areas in grass,” said John Jeffries, Soil Conservation Technician. Harvey (Buddy) Carpenter, Jr. installed a grassed waterway on his farm at Mitchells with the assistance of the Soil Conservation Service. Mr. Carpenter said “Runoff from the hills was spreading over my land causing erosion as well as making it difficult to work.” He also noted “It also delayed planting in the spring before I could work the part of the field.” Mr. Carpenter shaped a waterway about 16 ft. wide and 2 ft. deep allowing the flow of water to concentrate into one spot. The runoff was safely removed from the field without damage to the rest of his cropland. After the excavation, it was seeded with 40 lbs. of Kentucky 31 tall fescue per acre. Through the local ASCS Office, there may be costshare assistance available. For further information about this practice and other programs, contact the SCS Office in Culpeper by calling 825-4200. RAPPAHANNOCK GARDENER Some Plants Should Go To Pot By Diane Relf Virginia Tech Extension Home Horticulturist When you read of growing flowers and vegetables in containers, you usually associate this practice with the landless gardener struggling to have a bit of the good life. A refugee from the city, I can testify that it does help, but there are many other reasons for container culture. For those who want only a few vegetables for salads and fresh eating, containers eliminate the spading, weeding and cultivating of traditional gardens. Bending and stooping can cut down by elevating the containers to above kneel level. Even for gardeners with a larger plot, a few containers on the patio deck will be a great convenience. How many times does the cook decide not to go all the way to the garden for one more tomato or a sprig of parsley? A plant by the door will see constant use. In addition, using lightweight soil-less mixtures in fast draining containers can eliminate many soil-borne diseases, get faster growth, and promote earlier harvest. Since you prepare the soil mix, it isn’t necessary to wait for the garden soil to become dry and warm in the spring to do your first planting. Of course, you can’t plant so early that cold night temperatures are damaging. However, I have known some enthusiasts to move their planters in and out daily for a head start. Because the soil drains well, it stays warmer. Soil microorganisms are more active and roots are well aerated. All of this leads to healthy vigorous plant t DISPERSAL auction Saturday, April 16.1983 10:00 AM — Rain or Shine Registered ( Polled { Hereford Cows & Farm Equipment (22) Head Registered Polled Hereford Cows (Several will have calves by auction day) NOTE: These costs are from good Mood lines, noted for milk production. 1976 Chevrolet Pickup (4wheel drive) I.H.

Keep them well watered, especially in the hottest part of the summer when several waterings a day will not be usual. Fertilize every two to three weeks with a water soluble fertilizer. Some people prefer a constant feed system in which diluted fertilizer is used with every watering. For slightly less than a bushel of “soil-less” media, mix together: Vi bushel #2 size vermiculite Vi bushel peat moss 5 tablespoons ground limestone 2 tablespoons superphosphate 8 tablespoons 5-10-5 or 612-6 After mixing fertilizer, gradually add water and continue to mix until uniformly moist. If dry mixture is used in containers, it will be almost impossible to get it adequately wet for plant culture. To a large degree, the success of the planting will depend on the size of the container. Two bell pappers per four-gallon bucket will over-supply a couple; one eggplant in a seven-gallon tub can yield two dozen young, tender fruit; two cucumbers in a seven-gallon container can produce over 18 pickling fruit; one sweet 100 tomato in a 20-gallon plastic trash can will keep the neighbor kids in “snacks" for the summer. Don’t forget to supply each container with plenty of drain holes before planting. Water-logged roots won’t survive. A variety of flowers and vegetables can be grown in containers. Some are better because they give such good yield in the space allowed or create such a massive show of flowers that they are a definite asset. The best vegetables include tomatoes, eKOT>lantB, peppers, cucumbers, lettuce, Swiss chard and herbs of all kinds, especially parsley and chives. The best flowers include impatiens, coleus, browallia and begonia for shades areas; dwarf marigold, vince and petunias are most durable for sunny spots but any low-growing flower will do well.

What Are The Limits On Utility’s Powers? -— " “Continued from Page 1 - the 7,200 kilowatts now demanded by county consumers will be carried by the upgraded line, he said. Question Of Need In his closing arguments, David Konick, attorney representing the Camerons, recalled that Nichols had been allowed to testify regarding the potential consumer demands that required the 34.5 KV line be improved. He noted that Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson had said he would disregard that testimony, however, if the issue could be decided on (1) the 1928 easement granted to the power company and (2) the use of the right-ofway since that time. Konick maintained that his clients have not been given an opportunity to rebut claims on power needs. In earlier testimony, Nichols referred to a study made by the utility on population projections and kilowatt demand, Konick said, recalling that he’d asked Kuykendall for a copy. “He said ‘I’ll think about it’ and apparently, he’s still thinking about it because I haven’t received it.” In response to utility projections, Konick asked the court to take judicial notice of the county’s comprehensive plan, public law in Rappahannock. The plan gives population here as 6,093 in 1980, according to census repots. It also includes upper and lower population projections for the year 2000: the first, 35 percent, arrived at by the Planning District Commission staff and based on growth rates in counties surrounding Rappahannock and the second, 18 percent, the official estimate of the Virginia Department of Planning and Budget. If power demand keeps pace with the upper limit growth projection of 35 percent, Rappahannock customers of PotEd will require 10,000 kilowatts in the year 2O0O, Konick said. With the upgraded 138 KV line, the power company will be able to provide 110,000 kilowatts in 1983, an increase of 1,115 percent, the attorney said. Comparing the 1,115 percent increase in electrical production with the top limit projected growth rate of 35 percent, Konick described as “incredible” PotEd’s contention that the 138 upgraded KV line is “the answer to Rappahannock County’s electrical demands in the near future.” If the Cameron’s case against the power company is going to be settled on more than just what is written in the 1928 right-of-way agreement, Konick said he wanted to bring evidence on the possibility that PotEd may have used the cost of acquiring additional rightof-way for the Luray to Sperryville project as justification for the utility’s latest rate increase. (According to the attorney, there’s been no significant purchase for the project.) Konick told the judge that the right-of-way granted in 1928 by Charles Estes to Page Power Company, the predecessor of PotEd, used the terminology “as the line is located and staked.” He stressed that it refers to transmission line in the singular not just as it was located in 1928 but as it was located and staked at that time. Noting that all the rightof-way agreements on file for the 1928 construction use the exact same wording, Konick concluded that the utility company wrote the documents. As a principle of law, he said, when a question of interpretation rises over a granting document, it must be interpreted most strongly against the draftsman: in this case, the utility. Since 1928, the transmission line across the Camerons’ 82 acres has remained essentially the same, Konick continuedd. Voltage was upped from the original 22 KVa to 34.5 KVs but poles and conductors were not altered. In the current improvement project, PotEd has increased the number of poles on the Camerons’ property and significantly changed their appearance by increasing the heighth as much as 40 feet and adding conductors and insulators, Konick said. In the past, there’s been no trimming by the utility along the power line, he told the court. But along the new 138 KV transmission wires, PotEd crews are cutting brush and branches 50 feet away, effectively increasing the utility’s territorial claim, Konick added. In drawing Susan Cameron’s deed for the 82 acres, lawyer James W. Fletcher, co-counsel for PotEd in Thursday’s proceedings, included a specification that the utility had the right to use THE transmission line across the property, Konick told the court. But according to utility representatives’ statements, the 138 KV line will supplement, not replace, the old 34.5 KV line which will also be left standing, the attorney pointed out. Showing the court a series of 16 inch by 20 inch color photographs of her property and the new powerline’s path, Susan Cameron described the upgraded transmission line as “the worst think that can happen to a landowner...a heck of a mess.” Under cross examination by Fletcher, she acknowledged that the photographs of the line do not accurately epict the lines » » » » Tr r v vtt-r-r-v-Tf WVVVVV VVVVVVVVV WVVVV F oreign & American Car Repairs i specializing in German & Japanese Made Cars Jack’s Service Center 30 Ashby Street / Warrenton 347-3785 as they now appear in that the photographs show ropes—not electrical wires—suspended from the 70 foot poles. “But it’s worse because the lines are so shiney...There’8 no glare, no glow from the ropes,” Cameron said, noting that the poles now appear exactly as they do in the photographs. Objecting to the introduction of the photographs as evidence, Kuykendall charged that the pictures were taken when the line was at its “worst looking stage of construction.” “The condition as it exists today is worse,” Cameron countered. “That’s a matter of opinion,” rejoined Fletcher. Judge Robertson overruled the power company’s objections, allowing introduction of the photographs. Basically The Same In his testimony on Thursday, Kenneth Nichols, PotEd’s area engineering supervisor, said that the “centerline conductors” on the 70 foot poles are in “basically” the same position as the . original transmission line across the Cameron property. Cameron maintained, however, that the new 70 foot poles are located either to the left or right of theold 20 foot poles, pointing to the photographs showing the two lines as evidence. Konick cited cases going back to 1890 that hold a right-of-way cannot be changed without additional compensation to the landowners. Fletcher and Kuykendallc tied some of the same cases, arguing that uses on the right-of-way can be changed. Fletcher maintained that the Camerons had conceded that the power company has a 50 foot right-of-way and pointed to precedents holding that the utility can make any use of the space as long as it stays within that 50 feet. (In rebuttal, Konick said mitted the existing power easement is 50 feet and have only referred to that distance as the distance the old poles fell from the center of the transmission line.) Fletcher argued that PotEd is ‘limited to the width of the right-ofway... But it can be used for progress and subsequent activities as long as they don’t get off that 50 feet.” He insisted that the power company has authority “to upgrade the line and carry more and more electricity” and conduct any other reaso nable activity on that 5C feet. “You certanly wouldn’t say in America that anytime you want to increase your voltage, you have to come back for a condemnation,” he said. (At an earlier hearing, Kuykendall, while arguing for PotEd’s right to upgrade its transmission lines without additional compensation to property owners, nonethe-less warned that the utility will pursue condemnation if the judge decides that the 1928 right-of-way agreementdoesn’t cover current improvements.) Kuykendall argued that in granting the original easement in 1928, Charles Estes had the right to limit its scope but didn’t. Therefore, the grantee (the power company) has the benefit of the doubt where any question arises, he said. Although the deed granting the right-ofway doesn’t specify width, Kuykendall noted that it included permission to upgrade and improve the line and operate, erect and maintain lines (in the plural). Sale Decision Maker And it is the power company alone that determines the need for upgrading, the need to increase the voltage necessary to meet the electrical demands of Rappahannock County, Kuykendall aid. He cited case laws which holds that a utility is not subject to collateral attacks on the wisdown of public improvements. “The court can’t sit in judgement on the needs of the public,” he said, arguing that Potomac Edison, as a public utility, is duty bound to erect and maintain power facilities to meet community needs and is the sole arbiter of those needs. Without restrictions in the original 1928 deed, Kuykendall concluded, Potomac Edison as “unlimited reasonable use” of the right-ofway across the Cameron property for power transmission, adding that the Camerons knew the power comany held an easement when they acquired the property. Deed Does Limit In rebuttal, Konick maintained that the existing right-of-way is determined by the space—both horizontal and vertical—that the power lines have accoupied Latham Will Seek Re-Election Continued from Page 1 He emphasized that he’s equally concerned with keeping Rappahannock’s tax rate under control and preventing local levies from becoming a burden, particularly on the elderly who must ^ make do with fixed incomes in these times of continuing inflation. Latham said he’s also very interested in the outcome of revisions to the county’s zoning and subdivision ordinances, currently under review by the Rappahannock Planning Commission. “I’m particularly concerned over the affect that changes may have on the future of this county’s young people,” he said. Latham, a fanner who runs a beef cattle operation near Ben Venue, is the first of the five member board to declare his intentions. In addition to the supervisor seats, the offices of sheriff, commonwealth’s attorney, commissioner of revenue and treasurer will be at stake in the November elections. To date, four candidates — Mark Wittl, Martin Orfila, John Walker Jenkins and Bob Evans — have announced intentions to run for sheriff. There has been no word from the other county pfficers.

Countering Fletcher’s the Kuykendall’s argument that the granting instrument puts no limitations on the right-of-way, Konick referred to the 1928 deed that specified “ ‘as the line is located and staked’...That’s the limitation.” He described as “shameful” PotEd’s attempt to take advantage of “cloudy language” in a granting instrument that its predecessor, Page Power Company, wrote. Winding up his rebuttal in the four minutes left from 60 minutes Robertson awarded each side for closing arguments, Konick asked the court to consider the precedent it would set by allowing Potomac Edison to upgrade its transmission lines without addisional compensation to the estates burdened by that construction. He maintained that if Potomac Edison is permitted to go from five to seven poles, poles 20 feet high 59 60 feet high, 34.5 KVs to 138 KVs, the utility could come back in a few years with steel towers carrying 340 kilovolts down that right-of-way. “Time’s up and the theatrics should be over,” Fletcher interjected as the plaintiffs final four minutes elapsed. Asking for copies of all memorandum and cited precedents, Judge Robertson concluded that he would take the case under advisement. It is expected that a ruling will be issued by the court within a month, based on past decisions. School (Continued from Page 1) vote on the minutes until a future meeting. “Out of courtesy to these visitors, we should proceed,” Eastham said, indicating the dentists who had sat through several heated exchanges. Before the board could proceed, however, Eastham handed out papers to each board member present, intoning dramatically. “Here are your 1983 taxes, Mrs. Massie, compared to your 1982 taxes; and yours, Mrs. Reeve; and yours, Mr. Lane.” To the accompaniment of the chairman’s gavel, Eastham resumed his place. Community Service Program Refused In response to a letter from Commonwealth Attorney Doug Baumgardner, Superintendent Robert Estabrook recommended that the board refuse to offer a school project for community service. This option is available at the judge’s discretion for misdemeanants in lieu of a jail sentence or, in some cases, a fine. Court Services monitors the suitability of the defendant and projects in other school districts have included maintenance, grounds work and janitorial duties. “I just don’t feel comfortable with this,” said Estabrook. The board agreed, and unanimously voted it down. In other business, the board voted to congratulate the two students chosen for the Governor’s School for the Gifted; acknowledged a July completion date for the new Bus Shop; heard a transportation report dealing with problems of older buses; and heard an invitation to attend a program by the school’s chapter I students on Friday at 9:00 or 10:00. Nature Calls An item in the bills caught Eastham’s attention. “This is a lot of money for a portable toilet,” he said. “Doesn’t the construction crew (for the new bus shop) provide their own?” “This is for our employees at the old bus shop,” Estabrook responded, “and it fulfills an OSH A requirement.” “You mean nature hasn’t called before in all these m i FAUQUIER LIVESTOCK EXCHANGE iNCONPOHArvn State Grad* Feeder Calm & Yearlings 1,000 T01.200 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 RLSS,inM,Vl 384-ISM Consignments Welcome years?” asked Eastham. “Nature hasn’t, but OSHA has,” Estabrook responded. Review of Teachers After a long (one and one-half hour) executive session, the board voted to accept the administration’s suggestions on which teachers to re-hire next year, with Ea. tham abstaining; and voted to accept the recommendation of legal counsel. Randall Updike, Hampton District member was absent from the meeting.
