Retail Sales Here Show No Growth i lletan sales figures released by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission for 1982 show little change in sales in Rappahannock County. Measured by taxable sales of goods and services, Rappahannock County’s sales increased Jrom $7,339,975 in 1981 to 7,350,039 in 1982, an increase of only $10,064 or 0.1%. This compares to a $468,000 or 6.8% increase from 1980 to 1981. The 1981-82 figure for Rappahannock was the lowest in the five-county Planning District. Quarterly sales figures for 1982 indicate that the fourth quarter (October, November, and December) exhibited the largest increase, up 4.5% from the same period in 1981. Second quarter figures (April, May, and June) were down 5.5%, third quarter (July, August, and September) up 0.5% and (Continued on Page 5) Heavy Rains Swell Rappahannock Streams To Flood Levels By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock News Staff Writer Heavy rains Friday poured three inches of rain on Rappahannock’s fields and foothills, running off into swollen streams and causing flooding of roads and bridges. Rappahannock Sheriff W. A. Buntin said that no weather-related injuries or traffic accidents were reported although many areas were flooded for a time on Friday. In Washington, low-lying fields became lakes, and water collecting in low spots spilled over to bring high water right up to the door of the Edward Bailey home in town. Both bridges at Rock Mills had water running over them and the stretch of road between them was completely flooded, although it was reported later that the bridges themselves were not seriously damaged. On the road between Washington and Sperryville, high water did not impede traffic but caused cars to pass through several inches of water before the bridge under construction at the temporary light. The highway department reported Route 603 and 644 washed out at Slate Mills and route 638 near Washington and 606 near Flint Hill flooded for a short time. April rains this year have been much heavier than “showers” with an estimated nine inches falling on the area since April 1. In the past few weeks, only six days have passed without any rainfall. Since the February 11 snowstorm more than 17 inches of rain have fallen on the area, which usually averages slightly higher than the statewide average rainfall of 40 inches. According to Rap Owings, Rappahannock Extension Agent, it’s too early to tell how heavy rains and low night temperatures have affected county orchards and crops. Most susceptible to frost damage are the peach trees which have reached full bud and, in some places, full bloom. “There’s so much variation from orchard to orchard,” said 0wings, “that each fruit crop is really a separate case.” Apple trees are further behind in development, which means that they’re less likely to suffer damage from late winter freezes. Owings said that there’s a whole scale of possibilities involved in predicting fruit damage: lower temperatures can damage crops in a shorter period of time than higher below-freezing temperatures. Pasture lands had looked good from the warm and wet March, Owings said. They look green now but growth will not progress until the weather warms up. Damage to low-lying fields from flooding is spotty and not spread throughout the county. The success of the first hay crop depends a great deal on what happens in the next few weeks. Seeding of oats and hay usually done before April 15 has been postponed in all but a few cases because of ground conditions, and spreading of fertilizer has been delayed. Winter wheat crops look good except in cases of standing water in the fields, Owings said. Frustrated vegetable gardeners may want to select seeds and plants w ith an eye toward varieties that will stand up in the dry, hot weather ahead, Owings said, since they will be in the garden beyond the normal harvest date due to a late start. He recommends Wando peas for those still waiting to sow peas. But Owings had a word of comfort for those who have yet to plant anything in their soggy gardens. “If you’d put in your cabbage plants already, they’d just be suffering from wind and cold and not doing much growing,” he said. All in all, Owings said that the overall toll of the weather on orchards, crops and gardens depends much more on what happens in the next few weeks than on the weather of mid-April. ONE FOOT HIGH AND RISING, water crept up to the front door of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Bailey’s Washington home on Friday as three inches of rain drenched Rappahannock County. Town And Landowners Question Utility Council Struggles With Franchise By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock News Staff Writer Questions from the mayor, the town council and members of the audience greeted representatives of Potomac Electric Power Company at the council meeting Wednesday night. Jim Poffenburger, PotEd’s Luray office representative, and Kenneth Nichols, area engineering supervisor, were returning to Washington to hear reaction from the council on the new utility franchise agreement, which they said was to be renewed by June 1983, thirty-four years after the last agreement in 1949. “As you know, this is a controversial topic of discussion because of events in the county,” Mayor Newbill Miller addressed the men. The utility representatives acknowledged this was so. Miller said that he had given a copy of the proposed franchise agreement to the town lawyer, who had made changes to the document. “I also spoke with another lawyer,” Miller said. “Do you have a copy of the original agreement—the 1949 agreement?” Poffenberger had what he called a “working copy” of the outdated franchise, although there was some question about whether or not it was the same as the actually-executed franchise of 34 years ago. The town’s revised version of the franchise agreement was not available at the meeting and the mayor agreed to send the document to the power company’s representatives. (Potomac Edison is the utility involved in a court case with Sperryville landowners Bill and Susan Cameron. The power company’s lawyer, J. Sloan Kuykendall, told the court two weeks ago that an easement agreement executed in 1928 gave PotEd “unlimited reasonable use” of the power line corridor. The utility claims that under the 25-year-old right-of-way deed, they may increase voltage from 34.5 to 138 kilovolts and pole height (Continued on Page 2) —Rappahannnock News Photo/D. Hutchinson THE POWER LINE stark against the horizon in the background, Del. Raymond R. “Andy” Guest listened on Friday to concerns of former supervisor Herbert Foster (left) and other Rappahannock landowners with property along Potomac Edison’s right-of-way. Guest Seeks SCC Hearing Bv DAPHNE HUTCHINSON KappahaniHM-k Sf»i StalT Wrilcr Del. Raymond R. “Andy" Guest has asked the State Corporation Commission to send a hearing officer to Rappahannock County to investigate charges of misrepresentation lodged against Potomac Edison. Landowners in the path of the Pot Ed Transmission line running from Luray to the Sperryville substation have complained that utility spokesmen misrepresented the extent of changes involved with.work to upgrade the existing line from 34.5 to 138 kilovolts. The 34.5 KV line is carried by parallel wires on poles 20 feet high. The 138 KV line (which will increase electrical power available to Rappahannock customers by 1,115 percent) sits atop (50 to 70- foot poles with wires strang one over another at intervals of approximately three feet. The new line also has additional poles, cross bars and bell insulators. The new poles have been put up immediately adjacent to the 20-foot poles of the old 34.5 KV line, using a rightof-way granted to a preceding power company in 1028. Susan and Bill Cameron of Sperryville have mounted a legal challenge to Pot Ed’s upgrading the existing line without additional compensation to landowners. Their suit has been argued in court and Circuit Judge Shore Robertson, who has taken the case under advisement, is expected to issue a ruling some time within the next month. Del. Guest, Rappahannock County’s representative in Virginia’s House of Delegates, was at the Camerons’ hilltop home Friday evening to view the power line improvements for himself and to talk with local landowners. "I’ve asked the State Corporation Commissin to send a hearing officer up here to hear your complaints regarding misrepresentation," Guest told the 30some people assembled in (Continued on Page 4) Pop Quizzers Downed By A Hummingbird’s Wings By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer “It’s one of the happiest things I’ve done in years—to be involved with young people who so obviously want to know', not just for a grade but because they love knowledge,” said Roger Flinchum, coach of Rappahannock’s Pop Quiz team. “That’s a very important thing for a teacher. It’s certainly upped my morale.” The Pop Quizzers from RCHS lost by a slim ten points to Waynesboro High School last Thursday in the WVPT TV competition, 190 to 200. “But they certainly didn’t feel defeated—just disappointed that they didn’t win and there’s a lot of difference,” said coach Flin' churn. “They went into the competition this year just hoping to get by the first round. Now they have the attitude that whoever wins this thing, they could have beat them. They’re eager to go back, eager to win, eager to work some more.” It was an ironic ending. In the second round, Rappahannock’s team eked out a victory on the wings of a lame duck when their oppo"<*n,ts missed the number of the lame duck amendment to the U.S. Constitution. In Thursday’s third round, the RCHS whiz kids trailed at half-time and then jumped ahead by (55 points at the —Rappahannock News Photo/D.

The Waynesboro squad refused to give up and began to hit the buzzers with a vengeance. They squeaked ahead by answering a tossup question: which bird has the fastest wing beat. A win by a lame duck and a loss by a hummingbird. The pop quiz competition is like an athletic contest, according to Flinchum. “It’s a matter of surges. Confidence gets involved. You fall a little behind and your confidence lags.” It's also a game of speed, he added. “Watching on television, you can’t see how many of the kids hit those buzzers for every toss up question. We were just one-one hundredth of a second too slow a couple of times.

(Conitltaed on Page 5) EPA Confirms $y 7,250 For Sewer Redesign It’s looking better all time for the chances of Speij^ ryville’s long-delayed sewer* finally becoming a reality. At Monday’s meeting of the Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority, chairman Carson Johnson passed out copies of a letter from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) confirming the award of a $77,250 supplemental grant for additional design work on the sewer system. The letter noted that the supplemental award brings the federal share of the project to $120,350. Of that amount, ; $34,200 was previously paid • to the Authority. Greene A. Jones, director of EPA’s water management division, announced in the April 12 letter that the Water and Sewer Authority “may submit requests for payment for allowable costs incurred in accordance with the following revised schedule: 4/83 $18,600; 6/83 $18,500; 8/83 $18,500; 10/83 $18,500; 12/83 $12,050.” v Jones noted in the letter wiat final payment, amount"5ng to ten percent of the total grant award, will be withheld pending approval of the plans and specifications by both the state and EFA.

A native of Rappahannock whose family has been farmers here for three generations, Woodward graduated from the county high school in 1965. He spent two years in the U. S. Army, assigned to the military police, before returning to Rappahannock and a job with the school board’s transportation department which he held for ten years. Woodward resigned 2Vt years ago to become a deputy sheriff. Asked to give his reasons for seeking the post as sheriff, Woodward said he is concerned about the quality of Rappahannock’s law en forcement. “The sheriffs department has been upgraded John Henry Woodward in the last eight years under Sheriff Buntin and I don’t want to see it go backward,” he said. Married and the father of three children, the 35-yearold deputy is active in the county’s emergency service groups. He’s been a member of the Castleton Volunteer Fire Department for 15 years and fire chief for the past three. He’s also a member of the Rappahannock Fire and Rescue Association. “That’s how I got involved with the dispatch center,” Woodward said, citing his commitment to completion of jail renovations and establishment of a central communications center there for police and fire and rescue as another reason for seeking election. “I want to see our progress continue,” Woodward said, noting that he has worked closely with Buntin on plans for upgrading the existing 24-hour lock-up facilities and for installation of the dispatch center in the remodeled jail.

They waved at the moms in the audience, r*irouetted and curtsyed, batted their eyes at the judges and rocked back and forth, their tiny hands clasped behind their backs, as first the quarter finalists and then the semi-finalists were selected. The little boys, backs ramrod straight, uncomfortable in starched collars, short pants and knee socks, marched like miniature soldiers on to the stage before parents delighted to see their sons in something other than faded jeans and tattered football jerseys. Giirirlv pre-teens in usually forbidden lipstick and mascara huddled in the doorway of the auditorium, watching and cheering for little sisters, trying not to appear nervous as they waited for their turn in the spotlight. Outwardly calm, cool and collected, far too mature and wordly wise to show excitement, the high school set gossiped' in the classroomturned-dressing room after fashionably late arrivals. They put a few final touches on eye shadow and blusher while attentive boyfriends offered assurances that they were indeed the fairest of the fair. It was' the Miss Rappahannock Beauty Contest, that annual parade of loveliness sponsored by the Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad. Instead of Bert Parks, there was emcee Tom Von Fange, his warm smile and easy going manner encouraging to the few shy youngsters who tarried behind the curtain. Judges Raymond R. “Andy” Guest, Judy Deal, an accountant with the Highway Department’s Culpeper office, and Carol Tay lor, cosmetologist from Front Royal, set at their desks, adding up beauty points in the most difficult job of all. Guest, Rappahannock’s delegate in Virginia’s General Assembly, may learn that he loses more than he wins at these events; that the disgruntled parents whose darling daughter wasn’t picked as the loveliest or next-to-lovliest in the county mav wind up disgruntled in the voting booth. There were a few anxious moments Friday night. In the very first tiny tot class, it looked like the judges would be unable to reach a decision. Faced with all that beauty and cuteness, they called the little girls back out on the stage several times, first for a semi-final round, then quarter final and at last, a final round before awarding the honors. And at the climax of the evening, when Julian Brown pinned the Miss Rappahannock banner on winner Kristi Foster, he pinned a piece of Kristi along with it. But despite the minor mishaps, it was another successful evening, both for the young ladies and pint-sized gentlemen and for the Sperryville Rescue Squad which depends on the beauty pageant to raise most of its operating revenue.

If the power company agrees to the town’s revised franchise, the proposal will be advertised for four weeks and a public hearing set for action by the council in June. Sharon Luke, speaking from the audience, asked the utility’s representatives for an estimate on underground service. Nichols responded that the engineering time necessary to give an exact estimate is too costly to spend unless there is serious interest. He gave a general figure of $100,000. Diane Bruce asked if underground installation is dangerous while in progress, with open trenches and exposed lines. Nichols said that there is some danger, but added that extreme caution is observed. He said that, in addition to the installation costs, there are costs to the individual homeowners for adapting their service to the underground connections. Nichols agreed that maintenance costs are generally lower for underground lines, with less damage from wind and freezing rain or snow. He said that the work of placing a town’s electric lines underground can be done in segments broken down in reasonable groups by the utility’s engineers. Bruce questioned the need for a franchise agreement with a state-recognized monopoly: “Why do we need it?” she asked. Poffenberger replied that, according to the Virginia Code, any time a town leases its public ways to a utility, the company must be licensed to use the space under a franchise. He added that the town has the right to tax the utility’s receipts, either at $100 or at one-half of one percent of the gross receipts. Sharon Luke appeared before the council to request permission for a change in status in the lien held by the town on the fire hall, traded to the Lukes for the old church which now serves as town hall.

Golway Is Silver Haired Candidate Jane Golway of Rixeyville will be running for the Silver Haired House of Delegates from the 31st District, which includes northern Culpeper, eastern Fauquier and all of Rappahannock County. Mrs. Golway has lived in Culpeper County for the past 23 years, and has been very active in planning and providing services for older persons. She is currently President of the Advisory Council to the Rappahannock-Rapidan Area Agency on Aging and also serves on the Advisory Council for the Retired Senior Volunteer Program. She has been an RSVP volunteer for several years, putting in a great number of volunteer hours teaching GED classes at the Culpeper Correctional Unit and providing transportation for the teacher/counselor from the Department for the. Visually Handicapped, who is himself visually handicapped and unable to drive himself to his clients’ homes. Mrs. Golway is interested in issues which particularly affect the elderly, but she is also concerned with broader issues, such as conservation and education, which affect everyone. “I hope the Silver Haired Legislature will be one step toward encouraging older people to speak out on such general issues,” she said. She supports increasing the state’s emphasis on inhome health services for the elderly and tax incentives for families caring for the elderly. She also favors elimination of the sales tax on food, utility rate reform, and improved transportation services for the elderlv. Jane Golway Mrs. Golway hails from Toledo, Ohio, where she attended grade school and high school, and has a bachelors degree from Oberlin College. In 1936 she received her masters degree in English from the University of Wisconsin.

Day realtor PROCEED WITH CAUTION You’ve often heard the admonition “Read contracts carefully and completely before signing.” , We’d like to change that to “Read and UNDERSTAND contract before signing.” For example, if a certain three words appear on that contract don’t even touch that pen before doing some checking. The words are “restrictions of record,” and if you sign that contract you have to take the title subject to any restriction, no matter how unusual it may be. You might find out later that the only thing you can build on your land is a rabbit hutch or a doghouse! The thing to do is to find out what the restriction or restrictions are. If the restriction is okay with you, have something put in the contract to the effect that it is subject to the restriction listed on Document X (state name or number). In other words know exactly what those restrictions are before putting your signature on that contract! As Realtors, we want to emphasize the prime importance of this matter of restrictions when guying real estate, especially regarding vacant land.

Pali Delevitt and Freeman Allan looked around at the options and decided there has to be something better than sitting in front of TV. hanging around the house or going off to an ex pensive summer camp. They approached John Dooley, director of the new Northern Virginia 4-H Center just over the mountain in Warren County, with an idea for a cooperative summer camp and he agreed to reserve facilities there from June 1J17 for the experiment. The Allans propose a week long pilot program for campers in grades one through seven with parents and other interested adults serving as counselors. They hope to find volunteers willing to teach archery, canoeing, swimming, tennis, arts, crafts, music, dance and nature studies. The 4-H (’enter also has fields for volleyball, baseball and soccer and a court for basketball. Based on having (id campers at a per day fee of $4, plans call for adult in structors to l>e paid $25 a day and teenage counselors in training to receive $15. Alternatives a re being explored for funding campers from low income families as well, Pali Allan reports. She noted that parents can finance a week for their child by giving just a day of their time. "We’re asking parents and other willing adults to join in the effort so that the children of Rappahannock will have something to do in the summer." It the one week pilot program is a success, the organizers hope to expand tin* concept to a summer long day camp next year.

Audit Bureau of Circulation Clean-Up Time Rappahannock County’s Park, the site of the recreation center across the highway from the town of Washington, is a people’s park. No tax dollars go to its support. V olunteers raise the money necessary for its operation through fund raising events like last weekend’s Fodderstack Classic Road Race. No county employees do the maintenance necessary to make the park a pleasant place to spend an afternoon. Volunteers keep the playground equipment in good repair, mow the grass, pick up rocks and trash, clear the exercise trail and empty the trash containers at the picnic sites along the river. The people’s park needs those volunteers this Saturday for a cleanup project to prepare the grounds for the official ribbon cutting ceremony next weekend. There will be refreshments and good company supplied. All that’s needed are willing hands carrying clippers and trash bags and willing backs to push lawn mowers. We urge ALL the folks, young and old, teenagers and adults, who enjoy the park facilities throughout the year to give a few hours of their time this Saturday, April 23, beginning at 10 a.m. It’s another chance to show that we have a real people’s park. Schools And Taxes (From time to time, the Rappahannock News will print letters judged too long for the "Letters To The Editor" as guest columns. Opinions expressed therein do not necessarily reflect the editorial position of this newspaper.) By ROBERT EASTHAM Rappahannock News (attest Columnist Sometime ago, a gentleman of the county said to me, “Bob Eastham, schools are taxes and taxes are schools. Don’t you ever forget it.” Well, 1 haven’t forgotten it but I’m not exactly sure what I’m supposed to do with it! One could interpret what was said several ways: 1. The school budget is about 75 percent of the county’s total budget and must be kept down to keep taxes down, and/or, 2. Public services, especially schools, should be financed by those who use them, and/or, 3. The taxpayers are paying more and more for less and less in the education of school children and this rip-off has got to be brought under control. As for the first interpretation, I am in general agreement but w ith this proviso: that the funds proven to be necessary for a sound education of our 1,000 school children must be provided by our taxpayers, or else we should dis-establish Rappahannock on its 150th anniversary and turn over our public affairs to some neighbor which can handle them more responsibly. The supervisors, whc have the final say over the raising and expenditure ol public funds ‘in the county, have taken the position that they have to accept the money decisions of the school board (which ought tc know best, right?). And, with a $70,000 or $80,000 “gestures cut” in the bottom line of the school budge to impress the public wit! their stalwart conservatism, the supervisors have then rubber stamped the whole thing as presented to them. Never mind that, in the process, the school'children have been robbed year after year, both of an education and needed facilities (newer and safer buses, for example) in order to shift funds from them to our public employees. School children dc not squawk; public employees of school systems do— continually and loudly. But county taxpayers can squawk too and I believe that they are going to wake up from their deep sleep this year and squawk from Nethers to Chester Gap. Yes, on this interpretation, “schools are taxes and taxes are schools” indeed! “Public services, especially schools, should be financed by those who use them.” At first glance, the proposition sounds quite reasonable and fair but on closer examination it falls apart so completely as to shame the one who' expresses it. It is a proposition which says, “Let’s abandon civilized government and return to the caves.” We, the people, over a long period of time, have decided otherwise. The Literary Fund of this state (just “mugged” for the benefit of public employees by the Governor and General Assembly for a reported $65 million) was established a quarter of a century before Rappahannock County was formed to support “the education of the poor.” One of the first acts of the Gentlemen Justices of Rappahannock County was to appoint a Board of School Commissioners to supervise these schools and the writer is proud of the fact that his great-grandfather, Robert Eastham, one of our original Gentleman Justices, was also one of the first School Commissioners. The Gentlemen Justices educated their own children at home and at private expense but, apparently, they subscribed wholeheartedly to this dictum of Thomas Jefferson: “If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be” (Letter to Col. Yan cey, 1816). In a national emergency, is anyone to poor to be drafted into military service? The humble graves throughout our county, with the little American flags over them, answer us: “no . one.” And we shouldn’t have to draft anyone w ho cannot * read a simple military order or the operating manual for a Pershing missile! Else Mr. Jefferson’s words will come back to haunt us. So we do not pay taxes to educate “them”; we pay taxes to educate “us”—it is, ' and will continue to be, the price we must pay to remain free men. “The taxpayers are paying more and more for less and less in the education of the school children and this rip-off has got to be brought under control.” I agree on this interpretation. The “vicious circle” of buck-passing among the public school administrators, the school board, and the board of supervisors continues, year after year. In my four years on our school board the number of school children to be educated has dropped from an average daily membership of 1,158 dowm to 1,025 (according to our superintendent) or a more miserable 987 (according to the State Department of Education). The annual school budget has grown from $1.5 million to the $2.6 million proposed to the supervisors this year. Over these four years not a single position has been “RIFFED” but, on the contrary, teachers and supervisory personnel have been added continually and a majority of the school board asks for two more teachers this year, without being able to tell the taxpayers or the Wakefield member where in hell or in the schools they are now needed or will be placed. They are “in case of need” teachers! Meanwhile, during these four years, the amount by which Rappahannock County taxpayers have laid their taxes on the line in excess of the local funding required by state mandate (required expenditure per pupil under state Standards of Quality)—this “extra” local funding has grown from $158,983 in 1979-80 to $435,431 in the current year! And this generous excess local funding has taken place despite the fact that the required expenditure per pupil has itself increased from $960 to $1,464 over the same period! The price we must pay to remain free men? The time has come—it is way past time—for Rappahannock citizens to join with one voice, directed at present and future supervisors, present and future school board members, and hired public school administrators. utai vuac siiuuiu o<iy. “We will no longer pay that price and be defrauded in the deal. Our demands are now non-debatable and nonnegotiable. “You will upgrade our teachers and the rest of the school staff by paying them strictly on the basis of performance. “You will stop playing games with our children by allowing them to ‘elect’ themselves out of an education. “You will require and see to it that the school children do their part in this thing by maintaining discipline in the schools and by completing their assignments through adequate ‘time on task.’ “You will prove future progress in educating them by honest testing of students and honest evaluations of personnel for we will no longer accept the disreputable argumentation and cop-out of ‘we do not know and we can never know.’ “We elect, appoint, hire, and pay you to make judgements and decisions regarding public employees and students and if you are unable to do it, we will have you replaced by someone who can and will do it. ” While speaking, that public voice of Rappahannock should add this dictum (also from Thomas Jefferson) for the guidance of office holders in this county: “When a man assumes a public trust, he should consider himself as public property.” —Photo courtesy Frank Huff THIRTY-EIGHT YEARS AGO next week, American soldiers were pictured after meeting the Russians on the wreckage of the bridge over the River Elbe in Germany.

Quiz Kids Praised To the editor: This is my belief: It matters not the structure of the building where the child is schooled or the structure of the house in which the child is reared. It is the love and cooperation, the fortitude and determination of the individuals within those walls that help a child become what he wants to be. This belief has become a proven fact in the past few weeks as Rappahannock High School students have participated in Academic Pop Quiz over TV channel : 57, Harrisonburg. They competed against juniors and seniors from much larger schools with many more academic courses. The Rappahannock team was made up of one eighth, one ninth and two eleventh graders. Even when they lost in the third round, it was only by ten points, 190 to 200, which was a marvelous score. On TV, you could see the teamwork and eagerness of our students. They had been well coached by three loyal and dedicated teachers: Cindy Wayland, Roger FUnchum and Brion Patterson. To be first year participants and finish eighth out of 32 schools is more than marvelous. Team, what is the word for more than marvelous? Rappahannock Pop Quiz team and coaches, we salute you. We are proud of you and we thank you for renewing our faith in the system. We, the public, must keep striving to make it a better system for you and for those who cme after you. You are indeed winners, you are number ONE. May God continue to bless you. ALINE JOHNSON Sperryville Another Success I o the editor: The fifth annual Fodderstaek Classic was another successful race with the largest number of entries ever and record times set in most categories.

On behalf of the Rappahannock County Recreational Facilities Authority, thank you. everyone. DIANE BRUCE -From Both Barrels Gov. Robb’s Home Run By GEORGE BOWLES Gov. Chuck Robb’s appointment of John Charles Thomas to the state Supreme Court will, without question, go down in the history books as one of the most significant initiatives of his administration. Mr. Thomas, at 32, will be both the first black to sit on the Commonwealth’s high court, and the youngest member to be appointed to the Judiciary since the administration of Thomas Jefferson two centuries ago. He will fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Justice Carrington Thompson who stepped down March 1. In the past Gov. Robb has come in for considerable criticism from political observers - including this one - for seeming to waffle when he is faced with politically sensitive choices. Certainly such a charge cannot be made in this case. To use a baseball analogy, the governor stepped up to the plate and slammed this particular ball over the centerfield fence. As might be expected, Robb’s bold stroke has been greeted by cheers from his fans and groans from his critics. These include, in the matter at hand, a number oi conservative members of his own party as well as independents who had supported his candidacy for governor. The grumping reported from several senior General Assembly Democrats is especially mis- y placed. After all, it was the legislature’s inability to agree on a candidate to replace Mr. Thompson which gave Robb the chance to make the appointment. At the time, it seemed to be an unwanted political hot potato the lawmakers were passing to the governor. It is now clear that Gov. Robb regarded it as an unparalleled opportunity. With a single stroke he has further vindicated the faith black voters had placed in him when they gave him their overwhelming support when he ran for governor, he has brought needed ethnic and age diversity to the Supreme Court, and has installed on the high bench a man who, in spite of his youth, appears to have the impeccable personal and professional credentials which should enable him to render outstanding service. Mr. Thomas is a 1975 graduate of the University of Virginia Law School. He is a lawyer who is highly respected for both his energy and his legal scholarship, and a partner in the renowned Hunton and , Williams law firm in Richmond. As someone observed, “They don’t have second rate people at Hunton and Williams.” Beyond all this, to be sure, there is a political component in the Thomas appointment. Not only will it help solidify black support for the Democratic party in Virginia, but it will not go unnoticed by party leaders and black voters nationally. All this coqld be enormously helpful to the governor if, as anticipated, his political career progresses "bqyoruj the boundaries of the Commonwealth later on. ' . ♦ It should also be added that the political component in this appointment is no greater than it has been in judicial selections in the past. Virginia judges, usually white males with the proper judicial and political leanings, have always been chosen by the legislature or in rare cases appointed by the governor with one eye on the impact the selection might have on the ballot box. There was also a racial component in the selection. It is highly unlikely that a white attorney eight years out of law school, no matter how well qualified, would have been chosen for the job. But again, that component \vas no greater a consideration than it has been in the past when the nod has generally gone to white males of advancing years with the “proper” political connections and philosophical views. It all comes down to the societal and judicial courses the governor wishes to set for the state. On these points Robb has now spoken out w ith commendable clarity and decision. He has opted for a long overdue departure from the past pattern of membership on the high bench, and for infusing into the court a greater breadth and depth of social perspective. How all this w orks out is now largely up to Justice-designate Thomas and his brethren on the Court. But few wrill question the tairness and courage 01 the governor in taking this historic first step. Guest Seeks SCC Hearing (Continued from Page 1) the chilly drizzle of the late afternoon. He explained, however, that until the current court suit between the power company and the Camerons is settled, there’s little he can do in Richmond. “You do have a court case going...I know darn well that the General Assembly is not going to pass legislation that will affect a pending court case. One of the first questions asked when a bill is introduced is, does it affect pending litigation. If the answer is yes, the bill is trashcanned right then.” “But once this suit is settled, then legislation could be introduced to keep things like this from happening in the future,” he told the listeners. Guest noted that when he was first elected to the General Assembly 12 years ago, “there were no environmental considerations of any power line issue...We had to fight like the dickens” to get a law that requires public hearings on the environmental impact of transmission lines of 500 or more KVs, the delegate said. Asked what type of bills he would consider sponsoring after the Camerons’ suit is settled, Guest replied legislation to restrict use of an old right-of-way or to lower the 500 kilovolt limit on the requirement for public hearings to assess environmental impact. The crowd at Friday’s informal meeting was divided between those up in the path of the 138 KV line from Luray to the Sperryville substation and those who own property and reside along the second 34.5 KV line that runs from Front Royal to the substation. Landowners on the Front Royal route expressed concern that Potomac Edison will up that line to 138 KVs next. Guest reported that he’d talked with the Potomac Edison representative in charge of the Sperryville substation and had been told there are no plans for another line between the village and Front Royal for “at least ten years.” Guest added that the spokesman acknowledged he didn’t know if management at PotEd headquarters in Hagerstown, Md., had in mind any sooner improvement projects on the Front Royal line but agreed to check with that main office. “I guess they have no plans today but they might have plans tomorrow,” Guest said, as landowners continued to question the utility’s assurances. He quickly added, however, that he was “being flip.” Of the new poles with their long crossbars and lines hanging one on top the other. Guest said. “They’re just flat ugly... It’s a shock to me that something like that could be put up without some sort of formal proceedings.” The delegate said he wasn’t in a position to judge if more power is needed in Rappahannock, the reason PotEd has given for the increased voltage. “That’s something that the State Corporation Commission and the power company will have to answer,” he said, pointing out that PotEd is charged by law with supplying enough power to meet customer demands. But when informed that the transmission line will increase available power by 1,115 percent next year while the Virginia Office of Planning and Budget estimats that the county’s population will climb only 18 percent by the year 2000, Guest said, “Where they get the idea they need something like that is beyond me. I just can’t see how they (PotEd) expect Rappahannock County to have this kind of demand in the foreseeable future.” Asked about the chances of persuading the utility to put the new transmission lines underground, Guest said that to bury the line, the utility would have to put in a six-foot conduit filled with oil that must be circulated to keep the line cool. Cost would be much higher than the above ground installation, he added. If the Camerons win their court suit and the utility is forced to resort to condemnation proceedings to legalize the line improvements, landowners might have a chance to force alteration of the routes of the line, “the alignment of it,” according to Guest. “The real question is not if they (PotEd) can be stopped but whether they can make more intensive use of that old right-of-way without additional compensation.” Guest told the audience that he has not heard from the SCC since making his request that a hearing officer be detailed to Rappahannock. “The public hearing will be at the courthouse if the hearing officer comes up,” he added. In the meantime, concerned residents have scheduled a community meeting on the power line issue this Friday, April 22, at 8 p.m. in the Sperryville fire hall. “The very best thing Rappahannock can do is generate its own electricity,” said Alson Atkins after listening to Guest’s remarks. The county can harness the streams that rush down its hillsides to generate hydro electric power, he maintained. “We don’t have to buy power from Potomac Edison. Let them take it and stick it!" Vets Sought The 17th Airborne Division Association, composed of men who served as paratroopers and glidermen in the 17th Airborne Division during World War II, is conducting a membership drive to locate all former members. If you served with this Division, please contact Edward Siergiej, SecretaryTreasurer, 62 Forty Acre Mountain Road, Danbury, Connecticut 06810, for details of the Division Association as well as information about the 30th Annual Reunion Correction In last week’s article on emergency planning, we stated that there were no plans to accomodate refugees from outside the county in the event of a nuclear attack. Colonel Dieter Knuepfer, coordinator for emergency services, clarified that accomodations in the county would be upgraded as needed in the event of a nuclear disaster, serving as many outsiders as possible in public buildings. The News regrets the error.

I EPA Confirms L Continued from Page 1 block grant as “good this year.” “Tiere are things we need to get on as far as the bloat grant is concerned,” Gore added. He noted that the/ supervisors, at their May 2 meeting, must (1) adopt a resolution giving notice of their intent to file for a grant and (2) reaffirm Capelle as project manager. In addition, he said, another public hearing on the block grant application must be scheduled for either late May or early June, the notice and the date to come from the project engineers. Gore reported that block grant applications will be available near the end of April and must be submitted to Richmond by July 1 with” award announcement to come around September 1. “How could we have known something was missing last time?” asked WSA member Clifford Miller in reference to the lack of Health Department affirmation of the existing health hazard in Sperryville, an omission which reportedly cost Rappahannock its block grant in the first funding cycle. “The only way we could have known that we were claiming a health hazard but were missing the verification letter from the Health Department is if somebody from CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) had called us and said ‘Hey, where’s your verification?’ They didn’t do that,” Gore replied. WSA chairman Carson Johnson noted that in past years, the Health Department has been very active regarding Sperryville, both in enforcement of health regulations that resulted in closure of several businesses due to health hazard and in support of continuing efforts to secure federal and state grant funds. Based on that past performance, the WSA expected that everything necessary from the Health Department would be forthcoming, Johnson said. Gore added that WSA members had attended state sponsored workshops on filling out block grant applications. “Nothing was said about Rappahannock County needing Health Department affirmation at those meetings,” he said, maintaining that those responsible for block grant evaluations had “changed horses in the middle of the stream.” In recommending to the supervisors that Capelle be reconfirmed as project manager, Johnson added compliments for the “conscientious job” that the planning district director did on Rappahannock’s first block grant application. Capelle felt bad when that first application he submitted on Rappahannock’s behalf wasn’t funded, Gore added. “He felt that it was totally his fault we didn’t get it,” the WSA member said, maintaining that the Water and Sewer Authority shared in the blame. “John (Capelle) did exactly what he was informed he had to do.” PotEd Asks For Increase The Potomac Edison Company has filed its required financial operating review for 1982 with the Virginia State Corporation Commission and, based on that filing, has asked for authority to increase billing to customers by about 2'2 percent. PE’s filing indicates a revenue deficiency of about $1.5 million based on guidelines established by the SCC in the utility’s last rate case, filed in December, 1981. Those rates, according to Potomac Edison, have not produced the rate of return authorized by the commission in that case, and new tariffs have been filed to prevent that shortfall from continuing. The proposed new rates would result in a $1.34 monthly increase on the bill of a residential customer using 800 kilowatthours of electricity.

"Jonathan really sounds like he’s out to get them next year,” Will said. “1 guess we all are.” His sister Ann Oliver, captain of the Rappahannock team, acknowledged that she and her compatriots were a little slow on the buzzer last Thursday. “And we had some wrong answers. That gave Waynesboro a second chance with ten seconds more to think about it.” She’s still smarting over missing the question on the name of the kneecap bone. “Patella—I’ll remember that for the rest of my life! And if you’d asked me before the contest, I probably could have told you. I guess it was the pressure,” the team leader explained. Elinchum thinks that taking part in the Pop Quiz competition has taught the youngsters an important lesson: knowledge has its own rewards. And it’s a lesson that the entire school - not just the team members— have learned. The English teacher noted that too often, bright kids have felt that they somehow should apologize for their intellectual abilities. "Answering a question, showing that you've got brains doesn't mean, that you're trying to embarrass your fellow students," Elinchum said, “I've seen an exciting thing happen in the halls of RCHS. I’ve seen average students, “I)” students come up to the team members and congratulate them. It’s a whole new attitude. The entire student body is proud of their classmates’ accomplishments. They’re representatives of the school. They’re carrying the flag.” Jonathan Watson, the precocious youngster on the squad, has noticed the same thing. “All the kids have been very supportive. And so have our coaches, Mr. Flinchum, Mrs. Wayland and Mr. Patterson. When we've hit bottom, they’ve picked us back up.” "Our classmates have been really encouraging. They always had something nice to say when we won and they were consoling when we lost,” agreed Ann Oliver. There were times in the past Retail Sales Continued from Page 1 in si quarter sales up u. r/c compared to the same periods in 1981. Retail groups showing the largest increases in 1982 were hotels and motels (up 344%) and food (up 10%). The biggest losers were general merchandise (down 100%), automotive (down 42%) and furniture and home furnishes (down 1 ,r>%). Among the counties in planning district nine, Madison showed the largest increase in retail sales from 1981 to 1982, growing 4.7%. Culpeper County increased by only 0.6%, Fauquier County 1.1% and Orange County up 1.4% . when she felt like saying, "Sorry I’m smart but I’m not going to change just to make you like me,” Ann recalled. When the Pop Quiz comjH-tition began, “I thought we might be ostracized but we weren’t. The rest of the kids were proud of us. It was almost like having a number one basketball team!”. The four veterans are all looking forward to next year but they have no guarantees they’ll be behind the buzzers. Each will have to try out for the l‘*M Pop Quj‘z team. "We’re already recruiting. announced runchum. "There may be somebody better who didn’t even come out this time. But we've Rot five returning—Ann, Will. Jonathan, Cheryl and Jim Dennis—who competed before the cameras. Anybody who beats them is going to have to be great.” Cheryl Atchinson seemed to sum up the sentiments of all the youngsters who were involved - the ones who took their seats in the television studio and the 17 who made it to the final round of in-school try-outs and traveled with the team to Harrisonburg: "For the first time. 1 felt comfortable expressing knowledge."

Awards Given At an awards assembly April 14 at the high school, coaches and sponsors of eighth grade basketball, J.V. basketball, varsity basketball, cheerleading and varsity club presented awards to team members who distinguished themselves during the winter season. Certificates were also given to students making the honor roll during the last grading period and Candy Coombs,, girls’ volleyball coach, recognized the members of Rappahannock’s newest team. Highlight of the assembly was the presentation of an inscribed basketball to Mike Leake for his part in leading the Panthers to the regular season Bull Run championship. Mike accepted the basketball from assistant principal John Toth and responded to calls of ’‘speech, speech” by giving a short talk aimed at the eighth grade basketball players present. “Always set goals for yourself,” Mike told the younger athletes. “You can’t imagine the satisfaction of making the goals that you’ve determined yourself.” Mike is the son of Mr. and Mrs. James Leake of Sperrvville. «*• •% A A A A A A A A A A A A AAAAAA i II ■ Rappahannock News Photo/T.
