At the end of an hour long work session, they had sliced pay increases to four percent, chopped $25,000 from capital outlay and cut two new teaching positions and summer maintenance help. That major fiscal surgery and other reductions to educational expenditures brought the total approved for the county’s public schools down to $2,448,032. The figure is $116,830 less than requested for 1983-84 and $28,333 less than appropriated for the current year. Breaking with tradition, the supervisors emphasized that they intend to approve the budget by categories, effectively preventing the school board from transferring funds without their approval within the budget to offset cuts in specific areas. In past years, the governing body has approved the bottom line of the school budget, leaving it to the school board to determine how and where to absorb reductions to proposed educational spending. In addition to lowering school expenditures, the supervisors deleted $80,000 for the Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority after receiving assurances from chairman Carson Johnson that the Authority didn’t need the balance of last year’s “front moeny” appropriated for the Sperryville sewer project. “Hopefully, the $20,000 (in county funds already expended for the project) can be repaid,” Johnson added. The health department request slid painlessly from $75,000 to $28,000. Clerk Diane Bruce explained that the figure included in the first draft of the county’s 1983-84 budget had been relayed by a secretary over the telephone. The amount was off by $37,000, Bruce said, an error that was corrected when the health department’s written request was turned in this week. 48 Cent Rate The $233,000 reduction in proposed expenditures equals approximately ten cents on the tax rate, pushing the proposed levy advertised for 1983-84 down from 58 to 48 cents. One cent on the rate generates approximately $22,000 in revenue, according to accountant Wally Cox. He reported that the 48 cent rate with expen ditures as detailed in the proposed budget will produce “reasonable" surplus of approximately $200,000 by the end of fiscal year 1983. Cox opened the 9 a.m. budget work session with a bit of good news: a utility franchise tax the board plans to adopt this year will bring in $20,000. Final word on salaries for constitutional officers— commissioner of revenue, sheriff and deputies, commonwealth’s attorney and treasurer—won’t be available from the State Compensation Board until the first week in June, Cox said. The state is supposed to pay all the expenses of the Commonwealth’s attorney’s office and the sheriffs department and half the expenses of the commissioner of revenue’s and treasurer’s office, he said. But this year, all departments were cut at the state level by five percent and then 4'/- percent was added back for pay increases. The result, Cox explained, is a funding shift that leaves the county responsible for slightly more than half the cost of the commissioner of revenue’s and treasurer’s offices and a portion of the sheriffs and com Owings Retires As Agent Agent Rap Owings has retired after 14 years at Rappahannock’s VPI Extension office. John Huddleston. Extension Service Director announced Owings' retirement to the county supervisors at Monday's board meeting. “There’s a rumor that you’re going to close the office," said Chairman J. R. Latham. “Can you dispell that?" The office will remain open but Owings will not be replaced until July 1, Huddleston said. There is a freeze on vacancies due to state-ordered budget reductions, he explained. Huddleston acknowledged that an extension agent opening is being filled in neighboring Madison County but attributed the action to receipt of "stacks of petitions" asking that an agent be hired immediately. He pointed out that Birgitt Thornhill. Rappahannock’s home demonstration agent, has her degree in agriculture. In addition, Huddleston said, Jesse Judy, regional farm management agent with the Luray office, will be detailed here one or two days per week to assist Thornhill with agricultural problems and soil samplings. In selecting Owings’ replacement, "I'd like to be as careful as choosing a wife,” said Latham, adding that “once you get them, you keep them for a while.” “We want to get someone you people want,” Huddleston assured the supervisors, asking that a board member and a local farmer be named to the screening committee that will interview candidates for the job. All of the prospective agents seen by the committee will have already been screened for qualifications by VPI personnel. “We make a recommendation but you all do have the final say...We want to work with the people and get the person you want." While plans call for the Rappahannock extension office to remain open, Huddleston explained that the board must approve a memorandum “to keep VPI’s service here.” He explained that an audit of extension programs by a joint legislative committee of the General Assembly had recommended an increase in county financial support of local offices. The Virginia Association of Counties lobbied successfully to defeat the proposal he said, but at the same time, suggested that the “working relationship” between counties and extension offices be put in writing. In essence, the board is being asked to give written conformation of an already existing arrangement, Huddleston said. The county pays for one-third of the salaries for extension agents, fringe benefits and telephone service and furnishes offices space. “We pay the rest of the salaries and furnish a full-time secretary,” Huddleston said. “That’s basically been the unwritten agreement for years.” Only the fringe benefits are new, he noted. Huddleston reminded the supervisors that VPI had installed a special telephone line to the extension office last year that enables agents to call over the state without long distance expense. In addition, he said, Owings’ unexpended salary for the rest of this fiscal year can be carried over to cover the county’s cost in picking up fringe benefits for extension staff in 1983. For the county’s onethird share of an agent’s salary (grade 11 on the state pay scale), $(>,900 has been requested for 1983-84, Huddleston said. "We want to get a qualified person but we want to get one as cheaply as we can,” he noted. Huddleston indicated that the $6,900 share should cover salary for a new agent who has recently graduated from VPI, adding that if the supervisors want a more experienced person, they must be prepared to pay for that experience. monwealth’s attorney’s offices. “The control you have on salaries doesn’t amount to much," the accountant told the supervisors, listing employees for which they set salaries as clerk to the board, zoning administrator, building inspector, dog warden and maintenance help. Salary increases for those positions are figured in the budget at five percent, he added. After a brief review of proposed expenditures other than educational, the supervisors cut $6,000 from prisoner care, which had been raised from $6,000 in the current year to a projected $16,000 for 1986-84. “It’s going to go up but not that much,” said Supervisor Hubert Gilkey. He noted that Rappahannock can expect to pay other jurisdictions for incerating county prisoners until early January when renovation work on the jail is expected to be completed. The only other change made before the supervisors tackled school requests came in the adjustment to the health department’s budget. Four Percent Supervisor H. B. Wood suggested that salaries for school board employees be held to four percent. The cost of pay raises should be computed at several different percentage levels, Chairman J. R. Latham countered. “It looks obvious to me. We've got to do some cutting some place,” interjected Supervisor Clarence Baldwin. “People will never stand for doubling their taxes,” he said, seconding Wood’s suggestion that pay increases be dropped to four percent from the seven percent asked for by the school board. Gil key came back with a proposal for holding salary increases for administration to three percent, winning support from his fellow board members for the idea. But, he added, raises for teacher should be at least four percent. “My preference is five percent,” said Latham. “I could live with five percent,” Gilkey responded. “A lot of people aren’t getting anything,” argued Baldwin, repeating his endorsement of four percent salary hikes for all school SERVING at the Senior Nutrition Site, Barbara Gentry accomplishes one of the many public service volunteer jobs she has since her retirement from the Flint Hill Post Office.

Our choice of alcoholism as a topic during mental health mouth is intended to call attention to this major mental health problem of our time and to provide, perhaps, some hope to those who suffer in silence from this disease. We hope also to recognize the excellent work being done by the Rappaliannock Mental Health Clinic and in particular, to thank our advisors for this series, Lee Nettles and Bob Treanor. There is a disease in our time causing more social and physical problems than any other; killing those who have it both slowly and violently; tormenting their families and friends with unimaginable grief; demanding from our society a cost in life, money and suffering that we cannot bear. The statistics are easy to understand. Over one-third of American households are beset with alcoholic problems; alcohol-related traffic deaths claim 25,000 lives a year; 65 percent of all incidents involving domestic violence are alcohol-related. The list of alcohol-linked tragedies goes on and on. Harder to measure are the social problems and lives of quiet misery that surround the disease, “it is by far the major cause of problems - both directly and indirectly - that we see,” said Lee Nettles, director of the Rappahannock Mental Health Clinic in Washington. “In terms of what we cannot measure, no one knows the cost.” Just as hard to pin down as the cost of alcoholism are its causes. Some believe that a tendency toward alcoholism may be inherited, and research is being done in this area. Nettles said that strong social disapproval of drunkenness plays a large part in discouraging alcoholism in some cultures and family circles, more so than strong disapproval of drinking itself. There is also evidence that people from certain cultures and age groups are more likely to become alcoholics than others. No one knows exactly why. Generally, through, people begin to drink too much because of pressure in their lives that seem too difficult to withstand. It’s interesting, because of the popular image of a stress-free rural life, that the highest percentages of alcoholics are found in rural areas. Alcoholism: No One Knows Its Cost Unlike smog, tension ami pressure are still with us when we crpss the Rappahannock line. The mountain air may cure an ellergie cough but can <lo nothing for loneliness, growing up, growing old, boredom, family problems, poverty, pain or the hundreds of other worries from which alcohol provides a temporary escape. Nor can the beautiful scenery substitute for good relationships, satisfying w'ork, recognition, love and courage. For many people, urban and rural, these rewards are found in a bottle and disappear the next day, replaced by a feeling of loss and guilt that increases the desire for a temporary escape. And so the cycle goes on and on. Some people may drink heavily for a while and then stop. Some may engage in social drinking for years without a problem. Some may have trouble when they (Continued on Page 5) 7 personnel except administration. With an apparent majority sticking at four percent. Cox figured that reducing pay raises by three percentage points lowered school expenditures by $41,513. Holding administrative salaries to three percent increases added $3,381 to the deduction. The supervisors turned to the two new teaching positions included in the proposed school budget. School board member Robert Kastham reported that if the State Board of Education ups mathmatic’s units necessary for graduation to three, the requirement won’t take effect until the 1984-85 school year. He described the additional math instructor proposed for the high school and kindergarten teacher for the elementary school as “in case of need” positions. Both slots were lopped out of the budget for a savings of $25,000. An additional $2,200 was cut by eliminating summer maintenance employees. The $68,713 total cut from salaries brings fringe benefit expenses down by $14,111, Cox noted.

Judge Rules For Camerons In Power Line Dispute In a ruling handed down last week, Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson entered a permanent injunction against Potomac Edisor Power Company, finding that a right-of-way grantee in 1928 to its predecessoi utility did not give Pot Ed the authority to rebuild its line across property owned by Bill and Susan Cameron. “We’ve had lots of support from the people of this community,” said Bill Cameron. “This wasn’t just Susan’s and my fight. The people of Rappahannock County had just as much to do with the outcome of the battle with the power company as we did. It’s a good thing that the people of this county stick together. My grandfather used to say, ‘You’ve got to tighten the traces and pull together. If you can’t do that, you can't do much.’ That’s what’s happened here.” “I’m very happy for my clients who have been through quite an ordeal over the past few months,” said David Konick, the Camerons’ attorney in the case. The Sperryville couple filed suit, challenging PotEd’s action in rebuilding an existing 34.5 kilovolt power line carried on 20 to 20 foot poles with a 121 ki lovolt line on poles 00 to 70 feet tall. The line, when completed, will run from Luray to the substation in Sperrvville and will more than quadruple power available to Rappahannock customers. “Lately, the Camerons have received a fantastic amount of support and encouragement from people all over Rappahannock County,” Konick reported. “This decision is a real victory not just for them but for every small landowner because it demonstrates that our judicial system can work to protect private property rights even when 'little guys' are up against a giant corporation that can afford two of the best lawyers in the state.” Konick has followed up •Judge Robertson’s ruling with a request to ('ornmonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner and Del.

'I'he Camerons’ attorney also maintained that “the very serious threat of longterm health and safety, hazards” posed by the new high voltage lines and their proximity to numerous S perryville residences has been overlooked. “I bejievc that this question could also be investigated by the ( ommission,” he noted. Pound Facilities To Be Upgraded 1 he hit* ol a stray nog in Rappahannock County and the work of the warden who is responsible for the animals hasn’t been easy, the lot of both should improve, however, as the result of appropriations endorsed on Monday by the supervisors for 1982-H4. 1 “I’m sure all of you all are aware of my needs,” said warden Jack Bruce, as a preface to explaining his budget request. “We’ve got all the sympathy in the world,” answered chairman J.R. Latham. “You’ve had that for some time but it hasn’t gotten me far,” Bruce countered, announcing that he needed a facility to care for strays and a disposal site for dead dogs by July 1. “In nearly 25 years, this county has spent less than $50 on a facility for stray dogs,” Bruce recalled. “The county furnished the wire and staples (for the outdoor pens behind the warden’s house). I furnished the lumber, the posts and everything else.” And the wire fencing supplied by the county would he totally inadequate without apparatus for run ning electrical current through it, equipment that he also furnished, Bruce continued. He reminded the supervisors that he also supplied lumber and labor for the 12 foot by lb foot shed to shelter the dogs. “It’s way past' time that 1 get some help from some place.” In addition, Bruce said, arrangements must be made for disposal of unclaimed stray dogs that have been destroyed. “There are lots of laws that control this thing. . . Rappahannock has gotten by with murder on it for years.” The dog warden reported that Richard Compton, an Amissville contractor, had agreed to dig a trench for disposal of the bodies at the rear of the seven acre tract owned by the county, the site of the Amissville dumpsters. According to Bruce, Compton will also apply lime arid fill in the ditch, an arrangement that has ap proval from the health department. Supervisor MB.

It will be seen at the Gay Street Theater May 13, 14, 19, 20 and 21, with popular Harvey star John Hall and Rappahannock’s comic genius, Steve Hostetter. Ionesco, the Roumanian—born French author of this play, first came to prominence in Paris in the early 1950’s with a series of avant-garde plays com|>osed partly of slap stick comedy and partly of nightmarish horror, and with meanings so obscure that his audiences had to be detectives to ferret out what he had in mind. With Rhinoceros, however. while retaining his odd-ball humor and his wild imagination, he made his meaning clear, and reached beyond his French admirers to draw a wide popular audience in every major city of Europe. Writting out of a disgust at the all-too-human ten dency of people in all timeand places to let themselves be carried off by mass hysterias, Ionesco in this play tells a hilarious fable about how all the citizens of a town are suddenly swept by a craze to become rhinocer oses. All but one, that is. Hall will portray an office clerk who resists the temptation to join the crowd of stupid, lumbering beasts, thickskinned and scant of brain. Hostetter will be seen as his conforming friend and will play the famous scene in which, bit by bit, he grunts and plunges his way into becoming a roaring, cavorting perissodactyl. The plot gets under way on the terrace of a cafe facing the main square of a sleepy little town on a Sunday morning in summer. Two friends, Berenger, an indolent, untidy sort of fellow, and Jean, a welldressed believer in propriety and self-improvement, meet for a cup of coffee. John lectures his friend on dress, moderation and selfimprovement. Suddenly they are startled to see a rhinoceros go charging down the street, throwing up dust and trumpeting. Everybody thinks this very odd. There has been no circus there for years, and there is no swamp within miles where a rhinoceros would normally make his habitat. Soon still another horned beast pounds down the pavement. Within the next few days more and more rhinoceroses are galloping around the town and becoming perilous.

PEC Launches Training Program For Teachers The Piedmont Environmental Council will begin inservice workshops for elementary school teachers in August, according to its President, Robert T. Dennis. Speaking from PEC’s office in Warrenton, he said the decision to undertake the training sessions was supported by discussions at PEC’s April 19 conference for education leaders at Woodberry Forest School. “We tested the concept of a regional environmental education program for the nine counties served by PEC," Dennis reported, “and found a favorable response from both public and private school administrators.” rLL s Woodberry r orest meeting brought together 48 public and private school personnel, state officials, and PEC volunteers. Its purpose was to demonstrate current environmental education concepts—and the fact that such concepts do not require new curricula or additonl expense. Participants included public school superintendents, private school officials and elementary principals and teachers. They discussed the environmental components of Virginia’s new statewide “standards of learning," heard about state agency plans for “Project Learning Tree and "Project Wild," and experienced classroom and schoolyard techniques of teaching environmental concepts. Dennis said the purpose of PEC’s new program is to show teachers and school administrators —few of whom have been trained in enviro mental education—how they can bring environmental activities into the school or use the school grounds to meet state standards. “We want to work with all the schools in all PEC counties, so long as they think we can help”, he concluded. The program is assisted by a grant from the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities and PublicPolicy. The April conference was the first introductory phase of PEC’s program. The second phase will be the inservice workshops, designed to show teachers how to bring environmental subjects to their students in interesting ways. A third phase will involve PEC per sonnel and consultants going to individual schools, when requested, to assist teachers in making use of local facilities and school grounds. All of these activities have resulted from, and are supported by. the work of PEC's Wildlife Education Committee established about a year and a half ago and chaired by Theodore G. Scott. Jr., of Orange. The Committee has been directed by the PEC Hoard "to develop among the citizens of the Piedmont a better understanding of the relationships existing ainopg wildlife, plants mineral resources and people in their commonly shared environment." ■— Simmental Bulls —For Sale = Marland Farm is offering a top group of performance-tested Simmental bulls for sale.

Failure to replace two this year will throw the school board that much further behind in its replacement schedule. Gilkey said, pointing out that buses take a beating on routes over the county’s back roads. “But with all those good mechanics!” repeated Wood. I hey can t perform miracles,” Gilkey rejoined. “We could run buses 20 years old but I wouldn’t want to put my kid on one,” Latham added. “I’m beat—looks like we go with two buses,” conceeded the Stonewall-Hawthome District supervisor. In other transportation costs, the board eliminated $3,000 for two service vehicles, noting that two new cruisers approved for the sheriffs department would free two old police cars for donation to the school’s service fleet. A majority of the board agreed to cut $6,000 from the appropriation for electrical service. “I’m afraid we might have reduced that too much,” said Latham, the lone dissenter. He noted that the new school bus shop/central office has electrical heat, adding that utility rates won’t go anywhere but up. “They might supplement electrical heat with something else,” Wood responded. “Now I want to talk about capital outlay,” he continued, moving to that budget item. “I’d like to delete it—in total,” he said of the $21,000 for architectural studies for the high school building program. “Leave in $2,000 (for cost estimates),” countered Supervisor Charles Estes, meeting agreement from Gilkey. Latham suggested keeping $5,000 and Baldwin came down for $2,000. “So four of us are for $2,000,” Wood noted, adding another $19,000 reduction to the list of school budget cuts. $6,000 More Asked to explain the $23,000 request under capital outlay for furniture and equipment, superintendent Robert Estabrook said that $11,000 was to go for gas tanks, carpeting, conference tables and chairs for the new bus shop/central office and $12,000 for equipment at the elementary and high schools. “For things we feel we need,” he added. “That’s exactly what you all told us at the last meeting (on the school budget),” Wood remarked. Estabrook said that the conference room at the new EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY ‘Real cEstate Eileen M. Day realtor APPRAISAL INPUT People often ask about the methods used in appraising real estate. There are three methods used in appraising properties. The comparison method determines the value according to recent sales of comparable properties - using location, size and improvements among other criteria. The cost approach concerns the improvements and the cost of replacing and/ or reproducing them. Depreciation and land value are also taken into account. The capitalization approach is used mainly for income producing property, and includes the value of future benefits. It’s important to remember that the reason an appraisal has a bearing on the way it is made. Appraisals are made for purposes of loans, insurance, taxation, sales, estates, etc. The purpose determines the various factors to be taken into account. Finally, it must be remembered that every property is different in some way from every other!

By consensus, the supervisors reduced the appropriation for furniture and equipment by $6,000, bringing the total lopped from the 1983-84 school budget to $116,830. “Cut like we’ve been doing rather than the bottom line,” Gilkey instructed Cox. The reductions were ordered by the supervisors on a 4-1 vote with Latham opposed. More Vacancies “We may have more vacancies in the teaching staff as a result of this meeting than we would normally,” announced school board chairman Beverly Massie. “Most likely we’ll have to do away with the index salary that our teachers wanted so much.” She explained that the seven percent average increase in instructional salaries was necessary to avoid any teacher having a pay decrease as a result of implementing the index scale. “I feel sure quite sure we’ll have some teachers consider teaching here another year,” she said, reporting that neighboring counties will offer pay hikes of seven to seven-and-a-half percent. She asked if the supervisors’ action on the school budget was final and if the school board could now count on the total appropriated for each category so contracts for next year could be offered. “You can issue contracts on the basis of what we’ve today,” Latham replied. “I can’t say we thank you for cutting $116,000 from our budget,” Massie stated. However, she repeated the school board’s otter to meet at any time with the supervisors to discuss capital outlay plans and any other aspects of the educational program. “I hope in the future we can do that before budget time so you have a better understanding of what our school needs are,” she concluded. Reassessment Costs After hearing from John Capelle, executive director of the Rappahannock-Rapican Planning District Commission, on plans for a study of the feasibility of a fivecounty contract for reassesment services, Wood suggested deleting the $25,000 appropriation for beginning work on Rappahannock’s ALL PANTS AVAILABLE IB 1 BALLON, 5 BALLON, AND 55 BALLON DMJNS.

He also proposed that the county request an extension on the 1984 deadline for the next reassessment. “Let’s wait on that,” Estes replied. “If we cut this thing down too much...strip this budget too tight, we’re going to find ourselves borrowing money and paying $120,000 in interest!” Latham w'amed. The $25,000 for reassessment start was retained —at least for the time being — while $80,000 carried over from the current budget for “front money” for the Sperryville sewer project was added to the surplus side of the ledger. “But we won’t project collecting what we’ve already advanced,” Estes noted. With the budget reductions made at Monday’s meeting, Cox reported that a 1983-84 tax rate of 46 cents will produce a surplus of $150,000 next July l while a 48 cent levy will leave a “reasonable" surplus of $200,000. “The only thing aout having too much is that somebody always wants to spend it," Baldwin maintained. “To be safe, we must keep a reasonable surplus,” argued Estes. “We don’t want to have to borrow money," Latham agreed. “I don’t like a lot of people running around with credit cards either,” said Wood. “Let’s hold it at 48 cents. It's easier to go down than up,” Estes said, noting that the supervisors must re-advertise the 1983-84 rate if it s raised after the hearing on the entire county budget, set for June 6. The 48 cent levy was unanimously approved for advertisement with the budget synopsis. Counselors Needed For Community Camp The first stage of a unique county program - the pilot cooperative day camp to be held this summer from June 13-17 depends in large part on parents and other qualified adults who sign up to be counselors at the oneweek session. According to Pali Delevitt Allan, 4-H Community Cooperative Day Camp Chairman, parents may participate in the camp and be paid the same fees as other counselors. This would more than offset the expense of the camp for their child, she noted. The counselor positions are open to any qualified adult that applies, Allan added. “And parents don’t have to work as counselors in order for their children to attend,” she said. The 4-H Community Cooperative Day Camp will be held at the new 4-H Center in Harmony Hollow, just over the county line in Warren County. This beautiful mountaintop camp has a swimming pool, tennis courts, baseball, soccer, basketball, volleyball and archery facilities, as well as hiking trails, a pond for canoeing, numerous buildings, and soon, a stable of horses. If the pilot program this June is successful, it will expand to a full summer of activities next year. This weekend, area teenagers are attending a workshop on some of the camp s activities. To find out more about this program, to enroll a child, or apply for a job as either an adult or junior counselor, call Pali Allan at 636-2818 or Birgitt Thornhill, Extension Agent, at 675-3619. Jobs Program Young men and women seeking employment have an opportunity for jobs through the Summer Youth Employment Program. Administered for Rappahannock, Madison, Culpeper, Fauquier and Orange counties by Fauquier Community Action Committee, the program is funded through a $225,000 grant. It will serve a minimum of 150 economically disadvantaged young people between the ages of 14-21 w’ho may work 30 to 40 hours per week at $3.35 per hour during the enrollment period, June 20August 26. All public or non-profit organizations interested in providing youths a valuable work experience are encouraged to contact the SYEP office at 347-7018. The program will be designed to meet the needs of the economically disadvantaged youths by providing meaningful, structured employment to improve work habits and skills. The youths will be provided vocational counseling and occupational information while earning income and will receive services which will induce and aid drop-outs to return to school. The program will open avenues for securing short-term subsidized employment which will lead to permanent full-time unsubsidized employment for youths not returning to school. For further information, interested young people, ages 14-21, should contact the Rappahannock County High School guidance office, the Virginia Employment Commission office in Culpeper at 825-8117 or the Building? •Paint •Lumber •Millwork 1 «a •Hardware' Complete One-Step BUILDING SUPPLY Warrenton Building Material Co., Inc. entbeBy-Pess Warteeton 347-1400 SYEP office in Warrenton at 347-7018 or 347-7000.

Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc. Member. Audit Bureau of Circulation V. THURSDAY, MAY 5, 1983 For All Of Us With the building fund drive, for the new child care and learning center, Sursum Corda is making a valiant effort to fulfill its commitment to Rappahannock families. The undertaking is enormous: to raise at least $50,000 locally for a modem structure that will provide care and instruction for at least sixty children and serve as a center for after-school, senior citizen, handicapped and enrichment programs. Lois Manookian, coordinator of the drive, feels that the school has a fighting chance to reach its goal. “It’s either that or close the doors,” she said. Manookian is encouraged by funds raised so far and by the caliber of the people who form the honorary steering committee: Manookian said that working with her was an honorary steering committee: Mrs. Jack Bruce, Mrs. Pearl Clarke, Mrs. George Davis, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. William Dietel, Lt. General and Mrs. Hugh M. Exton, Mrs. W.A. Gentry, Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Gottlieb, Mrs. A. Burke Hertz, Reverend Jennings Hobson III, Captain and Mrs. Howard W. Holschuh, Mrs. Isaac L. Parish, Mr. Emory C. Russell, Captain and Mrs. George H. Sharp, Mrs. Norman E. Sims, Jr., Judge and Mrs. Rayner Snead, Dr. William H. Young, Jr., and Mrs. William R. Williamson. Those who join this list in supporting the new Child Care and Learning Center will be working toward a community service benefiting many county children and parents, including two county-funded, several handicapped, some on scholarships and some children who at present can not be enrolled because of space problems. Financial crisis plagues day care centers here and everywhere. Often, image problems add to these worries. Many people see day care as a way for lazy mothers to avoid care of their children. Or, they believe that mothers of young children are working for a new car or a larger wardrobe. The economic facts of life today are that many women are the head of their household; others must work to supplement their husband’s income or replace it in this time of growing unemployment; others are so isolated that the chance for their young children to be with others their age is an important basic need. The location of a new day care and learning center here benefits all of us in many ways. And this goal is well within sight if there is good response to the second-public-stage of the drive. The selection of an architect wellknown for his earth-berm (earth insulated) buildings; the completion of plans befitting the Child Care and Learning Center’s needs, the success of the leadership grant drive are all giant steps toward a longstanding goal, and Manookian finds progress so far very encouraging. Locating the two acres to spend some of that money on will be another big step. After that, says Manookian, it’s up to the community. Sursum Corda 'has come a long way from its beginnings «in the basement of the old Washington post of’ fice. We hope the community gets behind the school’s effort to go even further. Child Care and Learning Center - Sursum Corda by Angus MacDonald “I Want You to Know— I Still Bear the Scars” Patricia Bailey Norwood called last week after reading the black history pages, in particular Notes on Integration. “Those people who said there was no trouble couldn’t possibly have seen what was going on,” Norwood said. “I want you to know how I remember it. I still bear the scars from those terrible years.” Norwood was enrolled at Rappahannock County High School in 1964, years before formal integration. “I was spat on, yelled at, tripped and insulted,” she remem bers. “No one can possibly know how humiliating it was for me. And no one did anything - not the teachers, not the principal, not the girls who were my friends outside of school.” Norwood added that in the years until she graduated, other teachers came who were and remain her friends. In a voice choked with tears, Norwood recalled what happened when $he tried to eat in the lunchroom. “People threw food at me, the kids jerked out my chair when I went to sit down.” Finally, the young black girl started to eat lunch in the bathroom, shaking with fear that someone would discover her there. “I started trembling in the morning when I got up,” she said. “I didn’t stop until I was safely home, but then I started thinking about the next day. For a time, I couldn’t eat or keep food down. I don’t use profanity, but those years were hell for me. Maybe former classmates who now have children will understand what I went through. I haven’t forgotten.” Patricia was enrolled by her parents, Ed and Ethel Bailey, because of the long bus ride to Culpeper to attend the black high school there. The humiliation and fear of her first year caused her to suffer hospitalization for her nerves, but still she went back to finish her high school education in 1970. Joining her in 1965 were Arlene Starks and Mary Frances Carter. Six black students in all graduated in Norwood’s class and she said that by that time, things were much better. Four years before the schools were officially integrated, Norwood was the first black youngster to enroll, not Paul Ay lor as reported last week. She was thirteen years old. “I was so alone,” she remembered. “My black friends thought that I felt I was too good for them and no white person would be seen with me in school.” One girl tried to help her—a young girl who had been raised in Germany. “There were two teachers who were kind to me,” she said. “Mrs. Zinn, the guidance counselor, and Mrs. Wolf my homeroom teacher. The others looked the other way when kids spat or yelled. You can imagine what would happen if this were to go on today.” Norwood moved away after graduation and recently returned to Rappahannock. “I know that things have changed a lot,” she said. “But this is how I remember what happened to me when I tried to go to school in Rappahannock.” (Editors Note—It was not the intention of the Rappahannock News to present a one-sided view of integration in this county. But evidently, the absence of largescale resistance such as happened in Warren County caused many people to assume that integration was without any incident here. We thank Mrs. Norwood for her courage in calling us.) Our Rappahannock Heritage• Letters To The Editor The Rappahannock News invites letters to the editor from readers.

Schools As Investments To the editor: Effective education is not a process which lends itself to demands. To enter any human relationship with a list of demands is to embrace failure from its conception. Why then do some insist on approaching public education from this perspective? Two possible reasons are misconceptions concerning effective learning and ignorance regarding legitimate educational goals. Public education in the 1980s can not fulfill its responsibilities to our future by generating mass produced citizens or educators. Presently, available information is progressing geometrically. To prepare young people to function, contribute, and successfully seek personal fulfillment will become increasingly more difficult. The difficulty is real, not an educator’s rationalization to mask professional incompetence. It is a difficulty involving the problems of prediction. What actual subject matter that we now teach will be relevant in twenty years? My answer would be that many truths of today may degenerate into the quaint folk tales of tomorrow. If you doubt this, I refer you to the explosion of new knowledge in physics, medicine, astronomy, and chemistry in recent years. Let us go further and consider, not simply subject matter, but learning procedures. Will memorization realistically serve any function in a society which will make available innumerable pieces of information at a moment’s notice? Will handwriting, spelling, or basic mathematical computation play the role that they do in our schools today? I think not. In fact, it is conceivable that each of these areas will eventually occupy the niche that Latin now holds. This position is not a judgement on the value of Latin, Rather it is a statement of the reality of Latin’s place in public education today. Certainly Latin retains its intrinsic value, yet it is no longer perceived as mandatory to the instruction of all students. The above hypotheses are naturally only that, but they do lead one to rethink future educational direction. I have described the present public school approach to education as facing difficulties. •Just as a glass can be seen as half full or half empty, so can these problems be seen as challenges. What then is my role in facing these challenges, if I assert that it is not to “manufacture” citizens? I maintain that rather than teaching subject matter, serving as a drill master for standardized tests, or operating as an extension of the local police department, my job is to guide. I must guide young people through floods of stimuli that can become more confusing and contradictory each day. To effectively instruct people who can expect little stability in their futures, I can not place false importance on subject matter. Of course knowledge will retain its value, but not at the individual’s expense. I must help these young people create in themselves self-confidence, the ability to adapt, the love of learn ing, and the clear vision to digest material and make independent decisions. They will need all of these skills to function in a world becoming more competitive, more inhuman, and more precarious each year. I can not afford to be a tradesman, generating like product after like product. To "demand” results would make me a liar. I would be lying to my students about who they are, what is important, and how they can expect to live the rest of their lives. Allow me to stimulate, to encourage, to aggravate, to nurture, to flatter, but most importantly to cause a reaction. Until a person knows they are someone, no knowledge possesses worth. For without a self image to enliven it, knowledge remains sterile. Our schools and the taxes which support them are an investment. Like any investment they contain an element of risk. But this need not be frightening. It is reality and must be accepted and faced. Of course we strive for perfection and want all of our children to be successful. Everyone hopes for favorable returns on their investments. As in any endeavor based on human interaction, Mr. Eastham is completely correct in his charge, “We do not know and we can never kno»v.” We do hope and work and we can search together for returns on our investments. RICHARD SMITH Teacher, Rappahannock Co. Elementary Justice Done To the editor: Rappahannock citizens have an occasion for celebration and thanksgiving owing to Judge Shore Robertson’s decision upholding the rights of Bill and Susan Cameron in their claim that Potomac Edison has exceeded the scope of its rights in erecting new power lines under the company’s current easement. How many times in one’s life can one feel that justice has been done and that one’s actions have made an important difference? The community owes thanks here to several: the Camerons for their courage, convictions and financial sacrifice in bringing the suit; David Konick for his able representation of his client, Susan Cameron; Judge Robertson for his willingness and ability to hear and see the issue for what it is; The Rappahannock News for informing the community on the case and its community impact; and to Delegate Raymond Guest for asking the State Corporation Commission to conduct an investigation of Potomac Edison’s proposed power project. The refusal of the SCC to acknowledge any responsi bility in the matter points up to all of us how dependent citizens are on the courts in many cases if their rights are to be protected. If one looks at the Code of Virginia. Section 56-234.3 “Approval of expenditures for anti monitoring of new generation facilities and projected operation programs of electric utilities,” one finds, beginning at paragraph three, “In addition, the commission shall have authority whenever it finds that the public interest so requires, to investigate and monitor the construction projects of any public utility to assure that such projects are being conducted in an economical, expeditious and efficient manner.” Subsequent paragraphs go on to permit employment of qualified persons to recommend measures to the commission and gives the commission authority to approve, disapprove or alter the utility’s program in the public interest, should it be found that “inefficient or wasteful practices, procedures, designs or planning are found to exist.” Potomac Edison claimed its greatly expanded power supply to Sperryville is for use by Rappahannock customers. The gigantic scope of the project demands some justification of this claim, but in the law suit, none was made. One has only to look at the new poles and lines to have one’s imagination stimulated about the power company’s credibility. Hence the need for an SCC investigation. Dozens of land owners - all those between Sperryville and Luray - are affected adversely by the proposed power line. Dozens more would be affected were the line carried beyond Sperryville and back to Front Royal - or wherever. But all our interests depended in this instance on so few! A heartfelt thanks are due all of them. Until the poles are removed, the citizens here need to keep Rappahannock Homeowners Association in tact to insure that justice continues to be done. DIANA BIRD Washington From Both Barrels' The Dismal State Of Education By GEORGE BOWLES President Reagan went before a joint session of the Congress last week to plead for money to stem the rising tide of leftist revolution in Latin America. He said events there pose a clear and present threat to our national interests. It would have been a better use of his time, as well as that of the members of Congress, if he had addressed them on another matter which is of even more immediate concern to our national wellbeing, if not our survival. That matter is the catastrophic condition of public education in America. Now, public education is not a topic which lends itself to playing Winston Churchill or even Margaret l'hatcher in addressing it. Under normal circumstances, it is a bone-dry subject usually dealt with in poorly attended meetings at the county or state legislative levels. But the circumstances in which we find ourselves are anything but normal. The day before his speech to the Congress, the president received a document as devastating in its import as any ultimatum which might have been handed him by an emmisary of a hostile nation. It did not arrive under a “Top Secret” cover, and was, indeed, delivered to Terrell H. Bell, the Secretary ot Education, by David P. Gardner, chairman of something called the National Commission on Excellence in Education. The commission was appointed by Mr. Bell two years ago to study the condition of education in the United States, and to make recommendations for its improvement. Among its members are some of the top scholars in the land. The document was the panel’s report of its findings. The Commission’s report can only be described as a bombshell. It is entitled, “A Nation at Risk: The Imperative for Educational Reform.” For 27 dismal pages its summary text outlines the decline and fall of educational quality in the nation, and the spartan steps which must be taken if that quality is to be retrieved. Its bottom-line conclusions may be found in these words: “...The educational foundations of our society are presently being eroded by a rising tide of mediocrity that threatens our very future as a nation and a people. What was unimaginable a generation ago has begun to occur. Others are matching and surpassing our educational attainments. “If an unfriendly foreign power had attempted to impose on America the educational performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of war. As it stands, we have allowed this to happen to ourselves.” The commission proposes, among many things, that more stringent standards be imposed for high school graduation. These would include requiring four years of English, three of math, three of science, three of social studies, more homework and a 20-30 day extension of the school year. It adds that these and other goals should be pursued with a minimum of federal intrusiveness. Mr. Reagan liked that last part. In commenting on the report, he said, “Your call for an end to federal intrusion is consistent with our task of redefining the federal role in education...So we’ll continue to work in the months ahead for passage of tuition tax, credits, vouchers, educational savings accounts, voluntary school prayer and abolishing the Department of Education.” No kidding. That’s what he said, and most of it would further undermine the public school systems. In Virginia, Dr. S. John Davis, the superintendent of public instruction, hailed the report as reenforcing Gov. Chuck Robb’s concern about the quality of our public school system, and the Governor’s calls for renewed rigor in classroom performance. Dr. Davis also believes that the federal government, rather than drawing back, should foot a part of the enormous bill which will be incurred if the local school systems are to be upgraded to acceptable standards. It is unlikely, however, that Congress will get a ringing appeal from the president to take any action on the Commission’s report. After all, the president is speaking to the voters, and the danger of a rising tide of Communism in Latin America is more easily explained than the danger of a rising tide of educational mediocrity in the county high schools. This is especially true since increasing numbers of voters were swept to adulthood on the mediocrity tide...and Mr. Reagan knows it. VDHT Announces Van Pool Program An innovative van leasing program has been developed by the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation. The Virginia Van Plan, which involves no public funds, is designed to promote and encourage ridesharing throughout the state, according to Mrs. Sally H. Cooper, the department’s director of public transportation. The Van Plan will be available to both employers and individuals statewide. Interested individuals or companies will be able to lease a current model luxury van at a competitive rate which will include all operating expenses, insurance, maintenance, gasoline, oil, and tires. Two plans are offered under the overall leasing arrangements. One plan permits a short-term lease which is a month-by-month arrangement and can be terminated with 30 days notice. The second plan involves a lease commitment of 50 months on a new van. In return for the 50-month commitment, the lessee will have first option at the end of the lease to purchase the vehicle at 20 per cent of its original cost. No state or federal funds are involved in the program. The department, through its public transportation division, is serving as a broker for the van leasing company. Companies or individuals interested in organizing a van pool are eligible for the lease arrangement and should call the ride-share coordinator or public transit manager in their area. Coordinators in this area are Tom Christoffel in Front. Royal (635-4146), Wayne Cilimberg in Culpeper (8256140), Helen Poore (804-2967433) and Linda Wilson (804296-3184 in Charlottesville, Harry Surratt in Manassas (369-9374) and Jean Satterwhite in Fredericksburg (373-2890 or 373-POOL.)

Alcoholism: No One Knows Its Cost Continued from Page 1 first start drinking—some may drink at home but never on the job or when they must accomplish something. When do all these different kinds of drinkers turn the comer, cross the line marked “alcoholism”? Nettles and Rappahannock substance abuse counselor Bob Treanor provide a definition: when someone’s drinking is causing problems and he is unable to stop, he is an alcoholic. r This definition may apply to someone who has two drinks or many; who drinks on weekends or every day; who is a well-behaved or an obnoxious drunk. Nettles and Treanor outlined the progress and recovery of the disease. Typical steps include occasional relief drinking, constant relief drinking, memory blackouts, agressive behavior, neglect of food, loss of ordinary will power, impaired thinking, About Alcohol * An average measure of alcohol, IV2 ounces, has 150 calories but no food value. * Alcohol goes first to the stomach, then into the bloodstream. About 10% is eliminated through lungs and kidneys. * Drunkenness is progressive and has three stages: first, it affects restraint and judgement; second, it affects performance with slurred speech, slower reflexes, dulled thinking, loss of memory. The third stage is stupor and coma. Contrary to popular belief, the effects of alcohol do not wear off from exercise, black coffee and fresh air. Alcohol wears off through time - about Vi ounce per hour, or three hours for one standard measure (jigger). * Long term effects of alcohol are malnutrition, damage to nerves, heart, liver, kidneys and stomach and finally, delirium tremens resulting from nerve damage. * People handle alcohol differently. Some get very sick from any alcohol because it remains unabsorbed. Others are able to metabolize a lot of alcohol without feeling its effects. Both cases are very rare. indefinable fears, running out of excuses and complete defeat admitted until the alcoholic hits bottom. There are many other symptoms and steps in the often lengthy crucial and chronic phases of alcoholism. “Hitting bottom” is a scary image and it is a scary fact of life for alcoholics and their families. If nothing has reversed before this point and recovery has not begun, the alcoholic faces sickness, insanity or death. Rehabilitation comes, not in a burst of light, but in a series of slow and painful steps. Will power, in most cases, is not enough. Physical and mental treatment are necessary to help alcoholics want to recover, to believe they can recover. No matter what treatment is recommended, counselors agree that the knowledge that alcoholism is a disease not entirely within its victim’s control is a necessary step for eventual recovery. “The picture we want to present is not one of hopelessness and despair,” Nettles said. “There is so much hope - and as time goes by and we understand the disease better, treatment is more and more successful. Thousands and thousands of alcoholics have recovered and found confidence and interest and real joy in life.” Next week: Case Histories The Queen Of England Always Wears A Hat Treat Your Mom Like A Queen With A Country Fare Hat For Mother’s Day Also A Variety of Herbs, Hanging Baskets, Corsages & Gifts Faith Mountain Herbs and Antiques Sperryville, Va. 987-8824 open 7 days a week No One Knows Its Cost * In the U.S. about seven out of ten adults drink alcoholic beverages. Of these, about one out of ten is an alcoholic, a total near 10 million. * Three out of four alcoholics are reasonably well-accepted members of their communities (not “Skid Row” types.) * The average alcoholic affects at least four others by his behavior. * For the economy, alcoholism means at least $42 billion lost, including $19 billion in lost productivity, $5 billion in motor vehicle accidents; $14 billion in health, medical and social service costs, and $3 billion in violent crimes. * Drinking ranks third as a cause of birth defects. It is involved in eight out of ten fire deaths, two out of three drownings, seven out of ten fatal falls and half of violent crimes. It plays a role in 95,000 deaths annually. * Fifteen percent of all high schoolers have problem drinkers. Nearly one of three gets drunk at least six times a year. About 5,000 teenagers die in alcohol-related traffic accidents each year. * Americans spend more than $50 billion on alcoholic beverages. Half of this alcohol is consumed by only six percent of the people who drink. Barbara Gentry Continued from Page 1 educational facility; the Retired Postmasters board of the National Association of Postmasters of the U.S., (NAPUS); and the county mental health clinic. Gentry has been a Sunday School teacher at United Methodist Church in Flint Hill for 48 years, where she also sings in the choir. She is a member also of the Rappahannock Choral Society; the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Company’s Ladies Auxiliary, of which she is a charter member; the National Association of Retired Federal Employees, and the NAPUS. Gentry said that she heard about the intern position through an announcement in the Rappahannock News and applied for the job. In fact, she said, she applied last year and was told This Mother’s Day give her a gift that really is a gift of1 The Love Certificate. Four $5 certificates Mom can apply to her long distance bill. And the certificate can be used anytime, either \ one at a time or all at once. The Love Certificate. It’s the one Mother’s Day that says something. Just $20 at atel Pick-A-Phone Center. CENTfEL she was well-qualified but that it was Robinson’s year to name a man. “They told me to apply again, so I did,” Gentry said. She is the eighth resident of the seventh district to be named by Robinson to participate in the annual senior internship program, held from May 23-27. Only one senior is chosen each year from the entire district. Gentry leaves May 22 for a full week of committee meetings, congressional debates and other legislative activity, all centered around federal programs involving older people. Pound Facilities Continued from Page 1 was necessary to borrow a trap from the Culpeper dog warden, Bruce continued. “We set it on Tuesday and didn’t catch the dog until Thursday." he noted. "If you take care of a trap, it should last a lifetime," he said, asking for $200 for th:> equipment. To snare animals, Bruce said, he’s been using an iron pipe and a piece of nylon rope. "It’s a problem to snag them with that,” he explained, adding that he often had to cut off the rope after the dogs were "choked down.” He asked for an additional $60 to purchase a regulation-type snare. To, improve clog holding facilities, Bruce volunteered to furnish chain link fencing and posts if the county would pay Gilkey to help him build new pens. As the Wakefield supervisor smiled and shook his head, Latham explained that Gilkey is prohibited by state law from doing paid work contracted for by the board. If improvements are completed, Supervisor Charles Estes asked, will the county be in compliance with state regulations on dog pounds? No, replied Bruce, noting that regulations include detailed standards on shelter, food containers, water dispensers, euthanasia methods and other specifics. He suggested that the supervisors visit Page County’s pound if they wanted to see an o|>eration that meets state standards, adding that such a facility would cost between $25,IKK) and $40,000. Latham inquired whether Bruce is writing citations for owners of dogs without county tags. “It’s mighty hard in some instances if you’re going to write citations for everybody,” the warden answered. “But it’s the only thing that will work," he added. Bruce told the supervisors that he intends to begin issuing citations at the end of the month to owners who have been warned of the requirement for tags but haven’t complied. In addition, he noted that county ordinances require tags to be displayed on dog collars. In other action at Monday’s board meeting, the supervisors: —voted to advertise for public hearing a fee schedule for building inspections, —approved plans submitted by the Rappahannock County Garden Club for landscaping the court house grounds, —approved nominees submitted by Douglas Baumgardner for a social committee to investigate possible trash dumpster sites in the Washington and Sperry ville areas, —reappointed David Thornhill as the StonewallHawthorne District representative on the Rappuhannock County Planning Commission and named Joseph Stirman as the county’s representative on the Chapter 10 Community Services Board, contingent upon his acceptance of the ap|H>intment.

We walked to the building, crossing a salt marsh on a bridge. The building was large and had a glass front. Someone said the jjmovie wasn’t ready, so we walked around the island looking at the historical monuments of John Smith, Pocohontas, the church, and foundations of the old town. When we went back to the building we saw the film. Afterwards, we saw a huge model of the Jamestown fort enclosed in glass, along with models of boats, and even a model of the building we were in! Mike Dunn We went to Jamestown Festival Park and had our picnic lunch on a sunny spot of grass before beginning our tour. The Festival Park was created in 1957 for the 350th anniversary of the founding of the Jamestown Colony in 1607. Queen Elizabeth II attended the ceremony and bestowed the gift of the Old World Pavilion. There were wax figures and exhibits in the pavilion which explained our English heritage. The New World Pavilion showed the colonial life as our new country began. We also visited three ship^; the Susan Constance, Godspeed, and Discovery, which were true-to-size re constructed models of the originals. Camille Policano After checking into the Motor House Motel and dinner at the cafeteria, we went to the Wax Museum. This was my favorite part of the trip. Everything was so lifelike: some of them even seemed to breathe. The wax figures were arranged in scenes to depict the beginning history of our country from Queen Elizabeth’s send-off to the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown. r Leslie Nichols St. John’s Episcopal Church was an interesting historical site. There, Patrick Henry, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson stood in 1775 for the Virginia Convention. It was there that Patrick Henry made his famous speed, “Give me liberty or give me death!” In the cemetery, Bishop Goodwin’s father is buried. Also, they have what they call “picnic table tombstones". They are thought to tx> built that way localise the families of the dead might have come and had a picnic on the grave. 1 he bell tower itself has been blown down by hurricanes two times, so the bell tower is the newest part of the church. The original part of the church was built in 17-11. It was hard to believe that some of the most famous men of our country stood in a church that is a part of history and still in everyday use.

Track Teams Post Double Victories Hitting their stride as they begin the final lap of track season, gearing up for district, regional and state competition, Rappahannock’s girls and boys teams extended their string of wins with double victories in two tri-meets last week. “This is the best season our boys have ever had,” reported coach Ann Speiker. “They’re 8-2 for the year, maybe even 9-1. We have to check with Strasburg. One of their kids told us they’ve been disqualified because they had a boy competing in too many events.” And the girls are again at the top of district standings with an 8-1 record, the coach noted. “Just one word — fantastic!” was coach Monty Saunders' description of performances last Wednesday at the home tri-meet with Page and Strasburg. “We avenged our earlier loss to Strasburg in the season opener. I’m very pleased with the effort and team cooperation our boys have shown.” l Mere were lots ol Heroes for the home town fans watching from the hillside under bright, cloudless skies.

The 800 relay contingent of Eugene Grigsby,Woodward, Starks and Sisk took first and the mile relav foursome of Sisk, Estes, Dodson and Caperton finished second, just one second behind Strasburg. Doyle Dunn cleared six feet, three and a quarter inches in the high jump, his best effort for a home meet, and more than enough for first place, Clarence Pendleton was second. Dunn was also second in the long jump and fourth in the triple jump. Eugene Grigsby continued his dominace of sprint events with first and second place efforts in the 100 and 200 yard dashes. He added additional points to the Rappahannock tally with a third in the long jump. Others who placed for the Panthers included Tim Williams with a fourth in the shot put, Gaperton with a fourth in the 400 and Estes and Lindsay Roberts with a second place tie in the intermediate hurdles. Two of the top performers for the Rappahannock Kiris, Cristol Porter and Kim Williams, were sick for Wednesday’s meet. “K.W.” was scratched in the hurdles but she still ran her leg of relay as the fast four - Williams, Porter, Gheen and Davis - won easily. Porter also competed in the high jump, clearing four feet, ten inches for first and avenging her earlier defeat in the event by Strasburg’s Pence and finished first in the 200. Raynetta Gheen and Kathryn Davis were onetwo in the 100 meter dash and Gheen and Davis finished right behind each other again for third and fourth in the long jump. Cindy Weaver threw for first in the discus and second in the shot with Marie Davis second and fourth in the same events. Donna Williams also took third for Rappahannock in the shot. Ann Oliver continued the consistent improvement she’s shown all season with a first place finish in the 800. Rappahannock’s mile and 880 relay contingents also brought home the blue ribbons. When the points were added up, it was a run-away win for the Rappahannock girls with 74 2/3 points to 43 for Strasburg and 24 1/3 for Page. The final tally was a little closer for the boys squads. The Panthers won by six with 60 while Page and Strasburg ended in a tie with 54 each. For Monday’s away meet in Falls Church with Goerge Mason and Quantico, Rappahannock was missing 10 athletes lost to the flu-like illness that is sweeping the FLYING HIGH — Doyle Dunn (left) and Clarence Pendleton (right) were a study in contrasting styles in the high jump competition at last Wednesday track meet. But the results were the same_ they both made it over the bar. Clearing 6'3'/T\ Dunn closed in on the school record while winning the event and Pendleton, competing in track for the first time this year, was second. county’s schools. “But even with that handicap, the kids pulled together to bring home the double victory,” coach Speiker reported. Cristol Porter had her best long jump of the season, traveling 16 feet, 3 3/4 inches for first. It was one of her most productive afternoons as she followed that up with two more firsts in the high jump and 200 dash. Other blue ribbons went to Weaver in the discus and shot put, Williams in the low hurdles, Brenda Walker in the 400 dash, and Ann Oliver in the 800 run. Rappahannock’s mile, 400 and 800 relay contingents also were first across the finish line as the girls more than doubled George Mason’s total, 73 to 28. (Quantico does not have a girls track team.) It was Rappahannock by the same lopsided margin in the boys events as the Panthers built up 83 1/2 points to 48 1/2 for Mason and 27 for Quantico. Scott Keithley was first' again in the mile and 800. Lindsay Roberts took winning honors in the 110 hurdles, Clarence Pendleton in the high jump, Dunn in the triple jump, Grigsby in the long jump and Chris Caperton in the 400 dash.

(301)0794166 Panthers Put Together Back-To-Back Wins The Rappahannock Panthers found power at the plate as they put together back-to-back victories this week, pulling their mark on the season to five wins and eight losses. Playing an aw’av game against the Strasburg Rams last Friday, April 29, the Rappahannock boys connected for 12 hits to down the Rams, 8-6. “That’s the most we've had all season, reported coach Doyle Dawson. "It was a good win with .just three errors by our guys, a well played game. Strasburg let a couple of balls get away that could ave been outs but I don’t think it hurt them too much.” Rappahannock jumped out in front on a base hit by Robert Myers who stole second and then came home on a Mike Leake single. Strasburg countered with two runs off a walk and a homer in the bottom of the inning. It was their first and only lead of the afternoon. i ne rantners turned three hits into three runs their next time at bat. Jeff Poller’s single won him two RBls and the other run came after Jack Jenkins reached second base on a double and then scored when Myers smacked a single. Pops Avlor opened the third inning with a homer dead to center field. Leake added another single to his tally and then raced across the plate on a hit by Timmy Settle. Strasburg came back with a second walk by the lead off batter and in a repeat performance of the Rams’ first inning heroics, Todd Drummonds hit his second home run of the afternoon. With the score at 6-4, Rappahannock’s edge, Jeff Porter singled, stole second and third and then added a run to the Panther total on Aylor’s base hit. Again, Strasburg came back with a walk and a homer to keep in close t)ut Rapp’s Carl Roberts walked to first and then scampered around the bases when Myers smacked a double to put the margin at 8-6. Tom Sisk started on the mound for the Panthers, pitching the first three innings before being relieved by Leake. Dawson sent Porter in at the bottom of the sixth. With the bases loaded, the talented sophomore struck out Drummonds to end the game. Brentsville Beaten On Tuesday in a home contest against Brentsville, it was 8-6 again and again the Panthers came out on top. The game started off on a sour note for Rappahannock as the Tigers scored three runs off two hits and four errors, a pair committed by pitcher Tom Sisk. Craig Williams walked to first base in the third inning and then scored on Porter’s double to start the Panthers’ rally. In the fourth, Aylor singled, stole second and crossed the plate on Timmy Settle’s sacrifice fly to right field. But Rapp waited until the fifth to unleash the game—deciding barrage. It was 3-2, Brentsville. The bases were loaded on walks by Williams, Myers and Porter. One run came in on Jack Jenkins’ fielder’s choice. That left Panther runners on first and third. The Strasburg pitcher intentionally walked Aylor, loading the bases again and bringing Leake to the batter’s box. The big senior connected after building up suspence with two strikes. It was worth the wait. The ball sailed over the center field fence for a grand slam homer to put the Panthers ahead by four, 7-3. The Tigers came back with three scores of their own in the top of the sixth, giving Dawson’s boys a little something to be nervous about. But they held together and Jenkins and Myers combined for a single and double to add one final Rappahannock run. The Panthers won the afternoon in the final innings. “Our guys looked asleep at the start. They weren't talking to each other and just stood around in the field," Dawson said. “But once they got a few runs, they began hitting to the right off Brentsville’s left-handed pitcher. He’s one of the best in the district. He’s fast with a good curve ball. He managed to strike out eight Rapp batters,” Dawson noted. “But we started talking and we came awake. It was a real team effort.” The two wins bring the Panthers’ record in the district to 4-5. They are behind Manassas Park and George Mason who are tied for first, and Stonewall and Strasburg, tied for second. The Panthers face Manassas Park in an away game on May 6 and then return home next Tuesday, May 10, to take on Stonewall.

Flint Hill Horse Story Has Fairy Tale Ending By DAPHNE HIJTTHivenv Rappahannock New* Staff Writer All the happy endings aren’t in fairy tales. Every now and then, there’s a real life story with an “and they lived happily ever after” conclusion. Patty Alexander and her Arab mare D’Arcy have one of those stories. It began as a tragedy. It began with a broken leg, almost inevitably a death sentence for a horse. It ended happily two weeks ago when D’Arey’s xrays showed that the fracture had healed—just eight days after she gave birth to a beautiful little bay filly. The story has a host of heroes: Middleburg veterinarian Ron Bowman, Clarke County horseman and veterinarian Dr. Matthew McKay-Smith, surgeon Midge Leitch and D’Arcy herself. Without her intelligence and trusting nature, her good, sound horse sense, the mare’s story would have ended, like the thoroughbred filly Ruffian’s, with death. TWO MONTHS after the operation, there’s barely a trace of a scan from surgery to repair a fracture of the right olecranon (elbow). “It was a cold morning in February. I went out and there she was, standing on a hill, three-legged,” Patty remembered. Her vet, Ron Bowman, didn’t like the looks yf the injury _to JJArcy’s right shoulder and ordered an x-ray. It was a long night as the Alexanders waited in their Flint Hill home for the diagnosis. “He called back the next morning and said she had a broken leg.” Patty was devastated. “I knew I had to do something. I couldn’t put her down. But I didn’t know what to do.” She called Dr. Matthew Me Kay-Smith, “a dear friend and probably the most famous vet in the whole world...He’s known D’Arcy for years and he’s always been crazy about her. “I cried and cried and cried. He said don’t worry; that he’d take care of everything. sylvania. Leitch had been one of the judges when D’Arcy competed in the Old Dominion 100 Mile Ride in 1976 and 1977. “Midge remembered D’Arcy. She loved her even then,” Patty explained. The crippled horse was r walked back to her stall after surgery and demanded her hay. She was hungry! Everyone was just amazed,” Patty said. ‘The first major hurdle has been successfully overcome,” Leitch wrote to the Alexanders after D’Arcy FOURTEEN YEAR-OLD D’ARCY may again be fit enough to compete in endurance rides. Still restricted to a stall and brief outings on a lead line with owner, Patty Alexander of Flint Hill, the mare came successfully through surgery for a fractured leg. Patty purchased the horse as a two-year-old, broke and trained D’Arcy herself and has ridden her in competitive endurance rides for nine years. Searching through resource materials for a ray of hope, Patty had already looked up the type of break — olecranon fracture — in Equus, a medically oriented horse magazine. “They classified this type of fracture as catastrophic.” But McKav-Smith assured her that “as far as catastrophes go, this is one of the better ones.” Patty remembers sobbing back, “D’Arcy’s pregnant!" That’s all the more reason to try to save the mare, her friend countered. “If it wasn’t for Matthew McKavSmith, I wouldn’t have known who to call and I wouldn’t have had the faith to go through surgery,” Patty stressed. For surgery was D’Arcy’s only chance. The break couldn't be put in a cast. Treatment, using a technique developed in Switzerland for skiing injuries, involved repairing the bone with a pressure plate and screws. Veterinarian Midge Leitch volunteered to perform the operation at the New Bolton Center in Penn Golf Schedule South Wales Golf Association has announced the following tournament schedule for 1983: —Sunday, May 15, 9:30 a.m. tee off, two-man, pick your own team, best bal gross and net tournament, $20 per team entry, cash prizes. —Sunday, June 5, 9:30 a.m. tee off, two-man, odd *n’ even tournament, $10 per team entry, gift certificates as prizes. —Wednesday, June 8, 9:30 a.m. tee off, South Wales senior invitational, two-man, 18 hole, best ball, full handicap, $50 per team entry. —Wednesday, June 15, ladies invitational. —Rappahannock News Photo/T Reynolds SPECIAL WINNERS of the Special Olympics held at Woodberry Forest a few weeks ago are Brenda Clanagan (1), Sherry Craft, Michelle Jenkins and John Combs. Brenda won first place in her age group in long jump, softball throw and 50 meter dash. John won first and second place in two different softball throw competitions. Brenda, Michelle and Sherry will travel to Lynchburg to participate in the State Special Olympics. loaded in a trailer and vanned to New Bolton. “When we walked into the University, you’d have thought we were visiting royalty,” Alexander recalled. Her friend Dr. McKay-Smith had been on the phone all night “and they were ready for us.” It was the day of the blizzard of ’83. Fighting carhigh drifts, all three doctors taking part in the operation managed to reach the Center. Rushed Ordinarily, the procedure takes four hours. But the baby that D’Arcy was carrying could survive only a maximum of 2V-> hours of anesthesia. “Midge said, ‘I’m going to put it together as fast as I can and if it doesn’t go just so, too bad! At least we’ll save the mare’s — and the foal’s — life,” Patty recalled. The veterinarian fit the pressure plate and screws onto the broken bone and sewed D’Arcy’s shoulder back up in just two hours. Step one. But that didn’t ensure that D’Arcy and the foal would survive. Horses often thrash around coming out of surgery and re-injure a just repaired fracture. New Bolton has a swimming pool for unique patients where they can recover from anthesia with less threat of damaging themselves. That was the reason why Leitch chose the center’s facilities in the first place. “D’Arcy was so sensible, she didn’t even need the pool. She Parenting Class A new parenting class will offer mothers and fathers as opportunity to discuss problems faced by families today in raising children. Organized by Birgitt Thornhill, Sylvia Kreitler and Mary Wilkins, the group will meet on Tuesday mornings from 10 a.m. until noon at the Washington Baptist Church, beginning May 10. For additional information, contact Thornhill at the VPI Extension Office in Washington, 675-3619. was moved to the Manfredi farm for recuperation. But there were still potential difficulties ahead, - <?he noted. Post-Operative infection and foaling. Step two. “The incision is healing beautifully,” came the word from the Manfredi farm. D’Arcy’s convalescence “has been remarkable in its freedom from complications,” the veterinarian wrote. One final step, one last hurdle remained. D’Arcy took a vacation from endurance competition in 1981 to have a foal and she sailed through pregnancy and delivery with no complications. “But you can never be sure that the second time will be as easy. We knew that if D’Arcy had a difficult foaling it could ruin everything we’d done. Getting up and down, up and down, up and down the way some mares do in labor, she could re-injure the leg. And it couldn’t be repaired again,” Patty noted. Class And Quality There was more than her first easy delivery that built optimism in D’Arcy’s friends. There was the character, the class and the quality of the mare herself. "She is quite a remarkable patient and I have every confidence that the foaling will be without mishap," wrote the doctor. Leitch noted, however, “there is little or nothing that either he (Dr. Bowman) or 1 would be able to do to carry the day should the mare have a difficult parturition... We can only hope that D’Arcy will demonstrate the same facility at this task that she has demonstrated at the others presented her in the uast." Like the cute little towheaded kid with apendicitis who wins the heart of every nurse on the day shift, D’Arcv left a legion of admirers at New Bolton. Her doctor added that the center’s staff “expresses their admiration and concern for the mare and anticipates her successful foaling as eagerly as I do.” Late Foal D’Arcy’s due date was April 3. It came and went with no signs of labor beginning. So did the next day — and the next — and the next. On April 7, Patty began sleeping in the barn and checking the mare’s condition every hour around the clock. That vigil continued for five days. On the sixth, April 12, at about 9:30 p.m., John Alexander heard a noise from the stable. Patty had just come inside for a rest after examining D’Arcy at 9. “Mares never foal that early in the evening,” she noted. Horses with broken legs never recover, either. Thev rushed back out to the stable “and there was the mare and the foal and the afterbirth, too,” Patty reported, still amazed that D’Arcy zipped through three stages of labor — from beginning to end—in just 30 minutes. “The baby was sitting up and looking around. Everything was fine.” Dr. Bowman took 60-day post-operative x-rays two weeks ago. The photographs have been sent to Midge Leitch for one final expert review “but it looks as though she can be ridden again, maybe even compete in endurance rides again,” the mare’s happy owner announced. “Midge has done the same operation on race horses who have returned to SURSUM CORDA AUCTION JULY 3rd ITEMS NEEDED (Antiques, Household-Kitchen Goods, Gift Certificates, Services, Etc.)

Interspersed are plaques, ribbons and awards brought home by the national champion competitor who has won just about every event she has entered at one time or another. Trophies cover table tops and bookcases. In the place of honor on the living room wall hangs an oil painting of the mare. It was supposed to be Patty’s Christmas present but. ironically, it didn’t arrive until D'Arcy was on the operating table. Patty Alexander ac knowledges that D'Arcy's value as an endurance mare, her worth as breeding stock, could be viewed as factors in the decision to undertake the expensive treatment of that broken leg. “But even if she wasn’t worth 25 cents, we would have done it liecause of what she means to us. D'Arcy is the horse that ponies the babies. She rounds up cattle. She does everything. If 1 had $5 for everyone D'Arcy has given pleasure to, I'd lie a millionaire."

To maintain health, the average adult male has to take in about 2'/i quarts of water daily. This minimum comes from a variety of sources, including beverages and food, which contain considerable water. The water we take into our bodies is only a “drop in the bucket” compared to what most of us use for various other purposes. It is estimated that the average American uses about 75 gallons of water each day. Informative material on the Soil Stewardship Week theme is distributed each year through the Culpeper District to clergymen, lay leaders, churches and civic and educational organizations participating in the observance.

Some vines climb by spiraling around supports and twining around any object small enough to embrace. Others have short tendrils that cling to supports and, if trained, occasionally will grow up alongside a post or within a cage. Others are so heavy and have so few tendrils that they need frequent training. If left to their own devices, these plants would lie about on the ground. The climbing habits of a vine determine the support needed. Climber or twiner plants include pole or runner beans, asparagus beans and most of the flowering vines. Clingers include tall varieties of green peas, gourds, sweet peas, and cucumbers. The heavy vining vegetables include cantaloupes, pumpkins, squash and watermelon. The simplest and least expensive support for twining vines is a six-toseven-foot high frame. Provide top and bottom stringers of heavy gauge wire or crossbars of lumber. Lace strong twine vertically and train the tendrils as soon as they are long enough to twine around two or three times. Only occasional training will be needed to assist wayward tendrils the rest of the season. Clinging vines can get by with shorter supports, five to six feet in height. Disposable netting stretched over a vertical frame works very well and Pf Public Auction Saturday, May 7,1983 Beginning at 10:00 a.m. Located at Boston, Virginia.

You cannot afford to miss this auction. Come early. Plan to stay late. Plenty parking. Plenty good country food. requires less maintenance than chicken wire. Semi-permanent trellises, with sturdy posts and crossbars or wire stringers placed every foot or so, are needed for heavy fruited vines. Any wood used in the construction of trellises should be treated with copper napthenate, a preservative not toxic to plants. Although trellising may require more work at the beginning than growing bush varieties, the advantages make it worthwhile. The yield per square foot is much higher than that of bush varieties, sometimes as much as double. 1 he harvest is extended for three or four weeks longer, eliminating the need to replant for fall harvest. The produce also is easier to harvest, especially for someone who considers kneeling and stooping a challenge. Since foliage dries out faster writh the good air circulation around a trellised crop, disease is less of a problem. But when spraying or dusting does become necessary, it is easier to thoroughly cover both sides of the leaf. As a final benefit, you don’t have to wat£h where you put your feet as you make your way through the garden. Vaccination Urged Horseowners should vaccinate their animals against equine encephalitis as soon as possible, according to Dr. George B. Estes, State Veterinarian of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Equine encephalitis, also known as “sleeping sickness”, is transmitted from mosquitoes. This disease can become a serious problem as mosquito populations increase during warm weather. Encephalitis is often fatal to horses and the ones that survive are marked with poor coordination and impaired vision. A specific treatment for the disease is unavailable. Vaccines are available through local veterinarians to protect horses and other members of the horse family against this disease and horseowners should make immediate plans to vaccinate their animals before a disease outbreak. Horses do not transmit this virus to humans. The virus is perpetuated by a birdmosquito-bird cycle with horses being the “dead end” hosts for this disease.

A Lions Conduct Free Tests The Lions Club Sight and Hearing Screening Van will visit Rappahannock County on May 9-11. Free vision and hearing tests will be offered as follows: Mon, May 9, 9:30 a.m.3 (RCES students only) at the elementary school; Tues., May 10, 9:30 a.m.1:30 (adult county residents) and 1:30 3 (Wakefield students) at the Wakefield County Day school. Members of the Rappahannock Lions Club will conduct the free vision and hearing tests in the District 24-A Mobile Screening Van, a 27-foot motor home converted and equipped by the Lions specifically for conducting vision and hearing tests. The van was purchased in 1976 by Lions Clubs in the Northern Virginia area principally to prevent blindness and deafness by early detection and immediate referral to sight and hearing specialists. The continuing costs of operating the screening van are paid by the Lions Clubs of District 24-A from proceeds generated by such fund raising activities as the Rappahannock Lions Club’s annual spring auction held each May, fruit and apple butter sales, pecan and broom sales and other fund raising projects. A “medical history survey" form will be sent home by school administrators. The form must be signed by a parent or guardian and returned to the school office before a child will be tested.
