MAY 12, 1083 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA Phone 675-3349 Diane Kidwell To Be Retried Special Prosecutor Steven Merrill announced on Tuesday that Diane Kidwell of Flint Hill will be retried for the shooting death of Ranee Spellman. Spellman, manager of Points Of View Farm, was shot November 9,. 1982, while operating a bulldozer on a right-of-way that serves the Kidwell property and two lots belonging to Patricia Saltonstall, owner of Points of View Farm. Diane Kidwell was indicted for murder by a Rappahannock grand jury following an investigation by a special grand jury. Subse quently, Commonwealths Attorney Douglas Baumgardner removed himself as prosecutor in the case on the grounds that he might be called as a material witness. (Baumgardner was subpeonaed to appear at one of two pre-trial hearings that were closed to the public and the press. In addition to the hearings, portions of the record in the case have been closed at the order of Judge Thomas Horne.) Following Baumgardner’s removal, which was endorsed by the Virginia State Bar’s counsel, Steven Merrill, former assistant prosecutor for Fairfax County, was named special prosecutor. Kidwell went on trial at the courthouse in Washington on March 23. She maintained she was acting in self defense and sought acquital on that basis; Merrill asked for a conviction of first degree murder. After deliberating more than eight hours on Friday, March 25, the jury announced it was deadlocked (split 11 for acquital and one for conviction of voluntary manslaughter) Judge Home declared a mistrial and set May 10 for a hearing in Leesburg to determine if Kidwell was to be retried. The hearing was rescheduled for Wednesday, May 11, in Rappahannock and then was cancelled all together. special prosecutor Steven Merrill confirmed by telephone on Tuesday that Kidwell will be tried again for the same offense. Asked where the trial will be conducted, he answered, “I don’t know, I don’t know.” He indicated that the case may be heard in Rappahannock but aaded that “someone may file a motion for a change of venue.” He noted, however, that an attempt to have the proceedings moved may well prove unsuccessful. Questioned as to when the trial will be held, Merrill said that the different parties involved in the case had conflicts with various dates suggested for July and August. “It’s hard to find a date that’s convenient with everyone... It looks like it will have to be in Spetember.” Nine Indicted For Food Stamp Fraud A Rappahannock grand jury returned indictments Monday against nine food stamp recipients for welfare fraud. After hearing testimony from case worker Janice Moffett, the grand jurors found true bills on Teresa A. Brown and Frank Brown, Bessie M. Jenkins and Elwood V. Jenkins and Charles B. Nicholson all of Sperryville; Mary Frazier of Washington; Elma Jane Coefield of Wood ville and Nancy Phillips and Alan Cruz of Front Royal. The nine men and women are charged with feloniously and unlawfully obtaining public assistance valued at $200 or more. Bond for each was set at $1,000 personal recognizance and hearings are scheduled for May 19. The grand jurors also brought back true bills on charges of breaking and entering the grand larceny against James Robert Hickman and Lewis Wesley Hickman of Castleton.

Judge Enters Injunction In PotEd Power Line Case After a hearing in chambers on Monday, Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson entered a final decree in the Potomac Edison ' power line case. The decree grants Sperry ville landowner Susan E. Cameron a permanent injunction against the utility, prohibiting PotEd from “any farther construction of the proposed 138 kilovolt electrical transmission system across her property.” In addition, it orders the power company to restore Cameron’s property within 60 days to its condition as of December 1, 1982. In the alternative, should PotEd exercise its power of eminant domain, the decree notes that commissioners will be appointed to determine the compensation due Cameron. Cameron filed suit four months ago, challenging PotEd’s authority to upgrade the existing transmission line (which runs from Luray to the Sperryville substation) across her prop Armed Friends Follow Prisoner To Jail Six charges were filed in an incident that began Sunday April 30 in Sperryville and continued later at the Rappahannock County Jail in Washington. State Trooper R.A. Baines was called to the scene of a disturbance on a Sperryville street comer, where he charged David Nichols with being drunk in public. “Five or six others were there, then,” Baines said. “Nichols resisted arrest and I, assisted by deputies Godlewski and Jackson, subdued him and brought him to the jail. After later receiving a report that someone in the crowd remaining in Sperryville was waving a gun around, Baines alerted some troopers in Fauquier near the Rappahannock County line that help might be needed. Help arrived at the jail as well as a carload of men who were charged with be* ing drunk in public there. While placing the charges, troopers found tire irons, a blackjack, a 30/30 rifle and a pistol in the car. oary Bright was charged with being drunk in public at the jail site, as was David Wharton. A juvenile was charged with carrying a concealed weapon. In addition to Bright and Wharton, there were four other occupants of the car, including the juvenile and two underage girls. Nichols faces three charges for his part in the incident: drunk in public, resisting arrest and destruction of public property for breaking a jail house window. Six Year Sentence Imposed In circuit court on Monday, Judge Shore Robertson revoked the probation of a Washington man and imposed a six year penitentiary term previously suspended. Albert Gatewood was initially convicted in November, 1981, of breaking and entering and grand larceny at the Washington Cash Store and given concurrent terms of five and six years. The sentences were suspended, however, and Gatewood was placed on probation, contingent upon his good behavior and compliance with the laws of Virginia. Gatewood was back in court on Monday for a probation revocation hearing. Probation officer Dean Hahn noted that Gatewood was convicted in August, 1982, in Culpeper for driving on a suspended license and given ten days in jail, seven suspended, plus a $20 fine and costs. That same month, he was also found guilty of driving with defective equipment for which a $17 fine was imposed. Then in March, 1983, Gatewood was convicted of possession of marijuana while in the Culpeper jail and given a one year sentence with six months suspended, according to Hahn. Sharon Luke, Gatewood’s court appointed attorney, did not dispute the fact that her client had been convicted on the three charges but pointed out that since he was placed on probation in September, 1981, he had abided by the law for l'/a years (except for traffic violations). While acknowledging that possession of marijuana is a serious of fense, Luke noted that her client had a “a very miniscule amount”—only 0.0085 of an ounce. She maintained that Gatewood has already been “severely punished” for that offense by having to serve six months in jail. Asking the court for “one more chance” for her client, Luke reported that Gatewood has four more months in the Culpeper jail and hopes to find employment upon release so he can support his wife and child. Baumgardner countered that Gatewood was initially convicted of a serious felony and was given probation with very clear and precise conditions. “He chose to violate those conditions,” the commonwealth’s attorney said, requesting that the probation be revoked and (Continued on Page 3) erty from 34.5 KVs to 133 KVs, using 60-70 poles with additional crossbars and bell insulators in place of the old 20-30 foot poles—all without additional compensation. For the project, the utility relied on a right-of-way granted in 1928. In a letter of opinion dated April 28. Judge Robertson noted that the 1928 easement was defined and granted in terms of the line “located and staked” but without a plat or other evidence as to where the line was then located or what its width would be. Accordingly, Robertson concluded that the document is ambiguous, at least as far as the line’s width and location is concerned. In the face of that ambiguity, the judge continued, circumstances surrounding the parties and the property at the time the easement was executed must be examined. “Unfortunately, there is no such evidence before the court,” Robertson noted. “This is complicated by the fact that the easement in 192k was a 22 KV line which was replaced in 1930 by a 34,5 KV line although there is no evidence as to whether this upgraded power caused any physical change to the line or to its width and location. The result ivS that it cannot be said from the evidence that the line today is physically identical to or indeed in the exact same location as the original one installed in 1928." Reviewing several legal precedents, Robertson concluded in the letter of opinion that “it is clear that the upgraded power line is fixed by the particular course the power company has enjoyed ...As such, the court must conclude that under the 1928 easement the power company has no authority to operate the system in the manner proposed.” According to the judge’s letter, the case is controlled solely by the consideration of the specific easement and the subsequent course of conduct between the parties and their predecessors in title. In chambers on Monday, J. Sloan Kuykendall, attorney for the power company, offered additional photographs of the line into evidence. He maintained that photos introduced in the earlier hearing by David Konick, counsel for Cameron, were exaggerated. Konick objected that Pot Ed’s photos weren’t even taken on the Cameron property but instead showed poles and line on property belonging to other landowners, some located a quarter of mile distant. Judge Robertson refused the new photographs, disallowing their introduction into the record because the submission was not timely. He did, however, agree to include them in the file on the case, should PotEd ap(Continued on Page 14) SPERRYVILLE’S NEWEST ADDITIONS to the business community, Arthur and Peggy Smith, and their headquarters, the Sperryville Indoor Flea Market. The rambling old building, cleaned out and spruced up, will be filled with antiques, crafts and shoppers for this weekend’s grand opening. School Board Drops Index Bv THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock New. Staff Writer In spite of a Rappahannock Education Association (REA) vote showing that the great majority of Rappahannock teachers wish to keep the index salary scale approved by the board last winter, the school board voted Tuesday night to abandon the concept at least for the coming school year. Richard Smith, REA president, told the board that <>1 of (>7 teachers voted, both by voice vote and secret ballot, to try to carry out the index system in spite of deep cuts in the proposed 1983-84 school budget imposed by the supervisors last week. At the time ot the school board’s adoption of the new pay scale system, it was written into the motion that the index would be used only if funds permitted. The slashing of the teachers’ proposed increase from T'/t to 4'/< prompted school board chairman Beverly Massie to observe that this would make the index salary scale impossible. Buy-in costs to the new system , correcting inequities to senior and midlevel teachers , made the system impossible to adopt at under the 7% figure without some teachers taking salary cuts, an action forbidden by the wording of the original motion. Smith told the board that the teacher*' vote indicated their willingness to absorb cuts at some levels, notably the beginning teacher step, in order to construct the framework that would allow' future salaries to be determined by the index scale. “No present teacher would sustain a cut, ” he said, noting that his presentation included a salary scale that cut beginning teachers a half percent. “What about recruitment possibilities, Mr. Smith," asked Wakefield member Robert Kastham. “How will we be able to get the best teachers here?" “We think that you should be more concerned with keeping the best teachers here, Mr. Eastham,” replied Smith. Smith explained to the board that the difference to new teachers would amount to eight dollars less a week, “possibly five after taxes.” He stressed again that (51 out of the. (57 teaches in the school system supported the REA recommendations, both members and nonmembers. Nancy Reeve said that she sympathized with the REA and supported strongly the index salary system. “It’s important to not have something new like (Continued on Page 14) JobShop Comes To County To qualify Rappahannock’s unemployed for 30 new positions soon to become available with a Warrenton business and other job openings which are appearing with increasing frequency in surrounding localities, the county’s Social Services Department has arranged a visit of the JobShop to Washington. Based in Warrenton, The JobShop is a governmentfunded training program to prepare the unemployed for entry-level jobs in business and industry. Through an intensive study session, it attempts to provide skills necessary to find and keep a job. But in addition to removing people from the welfare rolls and putting them on a payroll, The JobShop and its graduates offer a special enticement to employers. Those who complete the program are one of nine eligible groups in the Targeted Jobs Tax Credit and are considered disadvantaged workers. Employers who hire The JobShop’s graduates qualify for a tax credit that can amount to as much as $3,000 per employee the first year a person is on the payroll and $1,500 the sec(Continued on Page 14) THE Place To Go In Virginia By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Kappahunnork N»w» Staff Writer Peggy and Arthur Smith have created the country version of the big city shopping mall. They took the “A” from antiques and the “A” from apple and combined the two in the new Sperryville Indoor Flea Market which opens this weekend. “The apple “A” comes from the old apple packing shed on the outskirts of the village. The Smiths have spent the past month transforming the rambling old building with its leaky roof and shattered windows into exhibit space for antique dealers and craftspeople. “We’re hoping to bring the tourists back this way, the tourists who readjusted their travel routes after Interstate 6b was put through to Front Royal. Let them come and then go home,” Peggy announced. Over zu exhibitors have signed up for space so far and the Smiths hope to attract a host^of others. With antiques, it’s the more, the merrier, Peggy noted, pointing out that buyers are attracted where dealers congregate. And the packing shed, with its 30,000 square feet on three floors, has plenty of space for a congregation of antique sellers. “When the bottom floor is filled, then we can start working on the upstairs. And we always have the basement if we need it,” Arthur added. Newcomers to the county who moved here from New York’s Long Island, the Smiths followed a roundabout path to Sperryville. They were visiting Arthur’s nephew in Front Royal after a trip to see their son for parents’ weekend at college in Lynchburg. “He showed us the countryside and we headed back home. We were already tired on the traffic and high taxes so when we got to the bridge and had to sit for '£'/• hours, we said ‘That’s it!’ We came right back here the next weekend.” They looked for proj>erty in the area without finding what they wanted and were about ready to give up when they read Sperryville realtor James Leake’s ad for Oak Hill. “The ad said ‘Needs tender loving care.’ Well, I’m a building contractor. That’s just what I was interested in,” Arthur explained, adding that he had specialized in restoration work on Long Island. “The ceilings were on the floor. It had no plumbing, no kitchen and very little electricity,” Peggy recalled of their first look at the historic home two years ago. “The grass was to our w'aists and the hedge was two feet high but we loved it!” They’ve spent the time since redoing the house that served as General Sigel’s headquarters in the Civil War and restoring a log cabin on the grounds.

Hill Seamstress Specializes In The Impossible I sinjj priceless fabric as well as plastic bowls, antique lace as well as cardboard forms, Flint Hill seamstress Coriime DelGrosso has been putting together outlandish creations tor fancy staye presentations ever since the Rappahannock Flayers first production, Finaf<*re, in the fall oflitsp. For that Hilbert and Sullivan operetta, DelGrosso contrived an impossible hat foi- Josephine (Judy Romberjjer) usinjj an upsidedown plastic bowl and pink fabric. The play was a hit and so was the hat; anti since then DelGrosso has been filling difficult costuming requests of all descriptions. One such request was for a costume for "Nana", the biy nursemaid doji in Peter Fan. "Sam O’Connor called at 10 one ni^ht and asked iff could come up with a head foi- a dojf," DelGrosso recalls. "I said I’d have to think about it but I’d come up with something.” DelGrosso thought for days and finally decided on an elaborate plan involving empty fabric bolts and stiff cornice material and-yards and yards of sheepskin. The result was perhaps the most amazing dog’s costume in community theater anywhere. O’Connor and DelGrosso have lost track of the creation but they hope that if a Rappahannock News reader knows its whereabouts, he will let a Players member know. These days, O’Connor and DelGrosso are collaborating on a most ambitious project: to put together costumes belonging to the period of the county’s birth. The circa 1KW dresses will dance at the RAAC-sponsored costume ball at .Jessamine Hill July 2. Moving in graceful “pas de Basques" in the dances of the. period will be fanciful creations of silk over hung hoops. Seamstresses of the pre-civil-war years labored long hours over each complicated dress, and DeKirosso and O’Connor have been researching and constructing the tremendously intricate fashions worn by great ladies of Rappahannock then and by the Ft A AC demonstration dancers at the summer sescjuicentennial affair. “One of my favorite parts of sewing is solving difficult design and construction problems,” Oorinne said about the skill that takes her out of the ranks of an ordinary seamstress. “I love looking at a design and figuring out how to do it.” DeKirosso has standard patterns that she transfers to newspapers and alters according to what is needed. “Often I think about a problem overnight and wake up with a solution,” she said. Corinne has been designing, thinking and sewing since she was a child making doll clothes. She always en joyed it but necessity entered the picture when she became the mother of six daughters. “When they got to be teenagers, then it was really fun sewing for them,” she said. Hanging on the door was one example of the care and talent she brings to her daughters’ best dresses—a spectacular blue and white prom gown with stunning detail not found anywhere “off the rack”. In the past three years, DeKirosso has developed her skills into a paying business—doing dressmaking, upholstery and slipcovers from her home in Flint Hill. She devotes mornings to her business and parts of some evenings. There is no charge, she says, for the overnight "thinking” time that results in the inspiration providing solutions to the impossible requests of Sam O’Connor and other enthusiastic patrons.

Grumpy, yes. but not hungry. This happened last month on a lovely sunny afternoon while we were visiting Avery Island. Louisiana, the home of Tabasco Sauce. The entire island is owned by the Mcllhenny family, and except for the comparatively small portion given over to the commercial enterprise that supports it, the island is the Mcllhenny back yard. It is more formally named “The Jungle Gardens of Avery Island” and is a fascinating place. The jungle gardens include an alligator pool and, as we could see, the alligator pool included at least one alligator.

Day realtor LAND USE RESTRICTIONS The matter of land use restrictions and controls with regard to real estate is quite interesting. Hundreds of years ago when private controls were usually in effect, property owners sometimes sold or gave away land with unusual and humorous restrictions. The seller might say that cows could only graze on the rear portion of the land! Or, he might specify that any building erected on the property and subsequently sold could only be sold to people who abstained from alcoholic beverages! The landmark year for subdivision restrictions was 1848, when developers could set up restrictions regarding types of homes that could be built on their lots. Courts upheld these restrictions to the extent of allowing lot owners to get court orders preventing other lot owners from going against those restrictions. Gradually, private controls gave way to public controls, and in 1926 the U.S. Supreme Court effectively made zoning ordinances valid. These zoning ordinances serve the public welfare and protect homeowners from offensive use of adjoining property.

Kramers Host House Tour And Furniture Show Washington cabinet maker Peter Kramer will celebrate 12 years at his craft with a retrospective show and house tour on Saturday and Sunday, May 14 and 15. Over 150 pieces of furniture will be displayed at Peter and Joyce Kramer's home and at the Mayse House across the street. In addition, Kramer’s workshop, the Rush River Artisans’ Cooperative which he and Joyce helped establish, and Miss Ruby Jenkins’ museum will be open to the public from noon until 5 on both days. Kramer’s works are unique; the pieces are not reproductions, but rather they evoke an age of craftsmanship now past. “This is furniture I would have made if I’d lived 200 years ago. My desians are based on the same influences of that time,” Kramer explained. “I try to adopt the mental- set of the 1700’s when I’m designing furniture.” He has been caught up in that slice of the past all his life. “Everybody tunes into something different,” Kramer said, with a wide grin and self-conscious shrug. “From a very young age, I really felt comfortable with the styles of the 1700’s. I tuned into it. It was com—-' fortable. There was an understanding between the furniture and myself.” As an adult, Kramer wanted that comfort, that understanding in his home. “But the really good stuff, the best stuff, was already in private collections and if it wasn’t, it was just too expensive. So I decided to make furniture for myself that captured the spirit of the 1700’s.” What began as an avocation soon became a vocation for the New' York City beaurocrat who was manager of personnel at Radio Free Europe. “I really enjoyed making furniture more than the other things I did for a living,’’ Kramer recalled. As a furniture maker, he was a success from the beginning. His pieces were accepted by Bloomingdale’s and sold as fast as they were Bonnie’s Drive-in 1225 E. Main St. Luray, Va. Specializing in Pizza. Homemade Chili Bonnie Burger. Breakfast Served Ph. 743-7211 Gerald & Bonnie Snyder, Owners carried into the store. (His original designs have since been featured in numerous articles in Southern Living and most recently in Country Living and the Washington Post.) As his enthusiasm for his new profession grew, Kramer’s tolerance for the urban scene diminished. "I felt the quality of life in New York City was declining rapidly.” He persuaded Joyce to join the search for “something better" with the agreement that once they found it, they would try it for three years and then return to New York if the "something better" turned out to be not good enough. They drew a circle on a map, marking off a live hour radius from the lucrative marketing opportunities of the Big Apple, and started looking, first in New England. “But we couldn’t find what we wanted at a price we could afford. Joyce suggested we try Virginia. ‘Who wants to live in Virginia?’ I asked, and she came back with ‘If it’s good enough for Thomas Jefferson, it’s good enough for you!' How can you argue with that kind of logic?” Kramer added, laughing. They followed the highway to Rappahannock and found exactly what they wanted in Amissville: an old house, in need of repairs, with charm and an affordable price. “We didn’t know Washington, Virginia ever existed. About a year later, we had to come in to pay our taxes and we both just fell in love with the town. It was absolutely magic!” Kramer remembered. "We decided to orient our lives in this direction.” Buying property as it became available, they finally ended up where they are today. Peter has a woodworking shop in the old packing house on the corner of Gay Street and Mount Salem Avenue, a business he operates in partnership with Stuart Eiland. Down the block is Rush River, an artisan’s cooperative to which Peter and Joyce both belong. Pieces of Kramer’s furniture will be dwnlaved there on the show weekend along with handblown glass, pottery, quilts, dried and silk flow'ers, paintings and other work from local craftspeople and artists. Around the corner from Rush River is the Kramer home, in itself an example of Peter's skills as a carpenter. Like his work and, in fact, like the entire town of Washington, it’s a unique melding of past and present. Originally a collection of small outbuildings for the large Clopton House next door, the little structures have been restored, remodeled, and transformed into a eohensive whole. The Kramer’s kitchen is the old summer kitchen for the large house, their upstairs bedroom was the slave quarters, the bathroom a dairy building, the living room an old smoke 1 house and Peter’s downstairs office the root cellar. Connecting it all is a new dining room and solarium.

In an evaluation dated April 19, 198:1, Robert Foreman warned that if a small holding pond needed to contain leachate on the landfill grounds is not constructed, “the next inspection will have to be unsatisfactory because leachate could leave the landfill boundary.” (Lea £ N--\ , £§& mm iw MM ?

Rhinoceros: “Both Delightful and Important” “I wanted a play both delightful and important,” said Rhinoceros director Stuart Eiland, of the Ionesco comedy opening tomorrow at the Gay Street theater in Washington. With the spring production of Rappa- ' hannock Players, Eiland believes he’s filled the bill on both counts. “Ionesco often said that he relied on the Marx brothers for his inspiration,” Eiland said. “In this play he uses timing, sight gags and rapid fire dialogue for both humor and impact. When it works, it’s very entertaining.” While a social commentary on man’s compulsion to follow the crowd may seem a far cry from the antics of Groucho Harpo, Chico and Zpodo. the Players’ production of Rhinoceros provides hilarious family entertainment on many levels, combining slapstick and subtlety in a farce that will make viewers of all ages laugh out loud. This production is the directing debut for veteran actor Kiland, who says he’s enjoyed his experience on the other side of the footlights. “It’s been about like I expected.” he said. “The position of director in community theater usually means producer as well.” Stuart Kilaml So Eiland has been involved in every part of the production, from the first selection of a play to actually construction most of the sets. The unusual subject matter posed some extra tough problems. One di lemma was how to liest |mu tray the comical, clumsy beasts. “At first we thought of a completely naturalistic pur trayal." Kiland said. "Hut I started feeling like a third grade teacher telling a class to imitate animals. Then we re-worked costume and movement ideas. Now it’s funnier and more express ive."

The split second preci si*hi ul the script is demandinn fur even seasoned actors. "I was concerned with the relationship of movement and meaning,” Kiland said. “So much of what makes a plot move is not just what t he actors say. This play hinges on the coin hination of precise meanings and precise movements. Many of the characters are on stage for only a short t ime." Kiland found a revived interest in television commercials, studying economy of movement and meaning.

Audit Bureau of Circulation J THURSDAY, MAY 12, 1983 Opportunity Knocks Rappahannock’s unemployed should take advantage of the opportunities that will come to the county on May 23-25 with the Warrenton-based JobShop’s visit. For at least the past six months, Rappahannock has led the five-county planning district in unemployment rate. People here can’t look for local businesses and industry to pick up and begin hiring again. Rappahannock doesn’t have that kind of commercial base. But people here can look to jobs opening in surrounding localities as the economy begins its long awaited upward swing. To get those jobs, however, they need training — and that’s where The JobShop comes in. The JobShop offers training to develop skills that will enable idle workers to get and keep a job. And the program has a further advantage of graduating workers who can provide their employers with federal tax credits. The JobShop is free to those who qualify. In addition, the Rappahannock County Social Services staff has generously offered to arrange babysitting and transportation for those who would otherwise be unable to participate. For their offer and for arranging The JobShop visit, the Social Services workers deserve the thanks of the community. They’ve given Rappahannock’s unemployed a chance too good to pass up. We hope they take advantage of that chance for economic self-sufficiency. Hugging A Tree Can Save A Life After a long winter cooped up inside, youngsters can hardly wait for spring and the chance to return to the great outdoors. But the outdoors loses that greatness when a child becomes lost. Over the years, Rappahannock County has had its share of tragedies resulting frm youngsters who have lost their way in its forests and mountains. As the county grows and the wild places become more developed, lost children will become fewer and fewer. But as long as there’s a wooded acre left here, the chance exists. To lessen that chance, parents can learn from the Hug-A-Tree Program developed in California to help prepare five through 12 year olds, should they become lost in the woods. ue sure that youngsters always carry a trash bag and a whistle on a picnic, hike or camping trip. By making a hole in the bag for the face and putting it on over the head, a child can stay warm and dry. The whistle carries further than the human voice and takes less energy to use. Tell a child to hug a tree if lost. One of the greatest fears a person of any age can have is of being alone. Hugging a tree and even talking to it calms the child down and prevents panic. By staying in one place, the child is found more quickly and cannot be injured in a fal. Assure children that they won’t make mom and dad angry by getting lost. Time and again, children have avoided searchers be cause they were ashamed of getting lost and were afraid of punishment. Anyone can get lost, adult or child. If they know a happy reunion filled with love is awaiting them, they will be less frightened, less prone to panic and will work hard to be found. Teach children to make themselves big. From helicopters, people are difficult to see when they are standing up in a group of trees or wearing dark, drab clothing. Tell youngsters to hug a tree near a small clearing if possible. Make sure they wear a bright colored jacket when they go near the woods. Tell them to lie down when a helicoper flies over and to make crosses or “SOS” in broken shrubbery, rocks or by dragging a foot in the dirt. Assure youngsters that there are no animals out there that can hurt them. Tell them to yell at the noises they hear. If it’s an animal, it will run away. Fear of the dark and of “lions and tigers and bears” are big factors in panicking children into running. They need strong reassurance to stay put and be safe. Convince youngsters that if they’re lost, they’ll have 200 friends looking for them. Children have told searchers, “My parents would never spend the money to search for me with all those people.” Of course, search personnel are professionals and volunteers who charge nothing; they do it because they care. Many children who are lost do not realize that if they sit down and stay put, one of a few hundred people will find them. Some are afraid of strangers or men in uniform and do not respond to yells. Some have actually hidden from the searchers they knew were looking for them. Parents should footprint their children. It’s a five minute exercise that cuts down the length of a search by several hours. Have a child step on a piece of aluminum foil or a soft surface such as carpeting or pine duff. Mark the foil of this print with the child’s name. Armed with this search tool, trackers can separate your child’s footprints from others in the area and can quickly determine the direction of travel. There are a couple of steps parents can take at home if they fear their child is lost. Call the sheriff quickly. The search area expands so rapidly due to the victim’s possible movements that an immediate response is critical. A call to the sheriff that’s later cancelled isn’t wasted: it gives the trackers practice and helps keep them alert. A slow response is dangerous, especially if bad weather wipes out tracks and exposure is a worry. Parents should be available for interviewing. Clues that lead to finding the child in good shape usually come from family and friends who remain on the scene and talk openly and accurately with the search leader and other rescue personnel. Remember, any personal information will be kept confidential. Culpeper History Available Culpeper: A Virginia County’s History Through 1920, is now available through The Comer Shelf Bookstore in Culpeper, or through the author, Eugene M. Scheel, Orchardcroft in Waterford. The book, published by the Culpeper Historical society, is Culpeper County’s first history. Included in the history is a detailed section on Indians and pre-history as Captain John Smith’s native informant, Amoroleck, was a Culpeper resident. And the whys and background behind Fredericksburg’s Mann Page’s comment of the Culpeper Minutemen, “Raised in a minute, armed in a minute, vanquished in a minute,” comes to light. Eight chapters cover the many Civil War actions in Culpeper, including separate chapters on the major battles of Cedar Mountain, Brandy Station, and Kelly’s Ford. Several hitherto-unpublished letters and diaries detail actions and feelings on the home front during the war. Vignettes and sections cover the many veterans’ reunions, raisings of monuments, and controversial establishment of the Culpeper National Cemetery. The Culpeper history also presents many significant published firsts on the Virginia history scene: Details of the building and operation of the Hazel River Canal and Orange and Alexandria Railroad; the minutes of meeting of the Culpeper Society for the Promotion of Agriculture and Domestic Manufactures, oldest known agricultural society in Virginia; and details behind the establishment of the county’s pre-Civil War public school system, one of six in the state. Included in the book are the histories of all the county’s religious denominations - not only the colonial Anglican, Quaker, Presbyterian, Methodist, and Baptist congregations - but the Catholics, independent Christian, and Jewish houses of worship, as well as a myriad of black congregations. Unusual aspects, not found in most county histories, cover the social and cultural life of the area, music and poetry, and such diversions as the county’s contribution to the history of Virginia’s early fox hunts, jousting tournaments, baseball, football, basketball - and even hunting and fishing. A chapter covers medical aspects, detailing prescriptions, cures, and procedures in use from colonial times through to this century. •Our Rappahannock Heritage Letters To The Editor The Rappahannock News invites letters to the editor from readers.

JULIA GIBBS Linden Pollution To the editor: The biggest pollution problem in Rappahannock is thistles. Some states require landowners to clean them up. Why not start a clean-up campaign here? You would perform a real service. T. J. TYLER Woodville Clarification In the students’ notes from Williamsburg last week, St. John’s Episcopal Church was mentioned. A reader called to point out that the famous site of Patrick Henry’s speech is in Richmond, not Williamsburg, a city the seventh graders also visited. Addendum To the editor: I wrote an article for the Rappahannock News’ April 28 issue included in the section on black history, “Slaves, Freemen, Integration — Rappahannock Stories.” The article was about Clarence Dearing and since a paragraph I considered important was omitted, I will include it here. This is what Clarence Dearing had to say about slavery: “I believe they (the slaves) were brought here against their will. In fact. I believe it’s the best thing that ever happened to them, but still they were handled so brutally.' You know, just like you’d take a carload of cattle, load ’em on a train, take ’em somewhere, and sell ’em, beat ’em and.knock ’em around. “The black man had a rough time of it. Black man has lots to be thankful to God for. If it hadn’t been for God stickin’ by ’em, they would never have gotten this far.” CATHERINE KILEY Planning For 250th As part of Rappahannock’s sesquicentennial celebration, a group of local people are planning a 100 year time capsule to be opened July 4, 2083, for the county’s 250th birthday. The time capsule committee—Rayner V. Snead, Mary Botts Quainlance, William Carrigan, Lucia Kilby, Grace Sims and Diane Bruce—propose to erect a range from homelife to sports, education to technology. politics to the environment. Letters will be reviewed by the committee members and those selected will be included with photos of the authors in the time capsule. Letters must be submitted by June 1 and will be read publicly prior to the sealing of the capsule.

On July 4, 1983, the vault will be filled and sealed. In the vault, the committee hopes to include letters from students at Rappahannock County High School and Wakefield Country Day School addressed to the students of 2083. The letter w riters are to discuss life today, what it’s like to be a teenager in 1983 and what they hope for students 100 years from now'. Topics can Letters from adults are also solicited under the same guidelines. In addition, churches are asked to submit materials for inclusion. Small items of memorabilia (photographs, art, special events materials) and other suggestions are requested for consideration. All items can be left at the clerk’s office or delivered to any committee member prior to June 1. From Both Barrels Make Them Give A Damn j*r By GEORGE BOWLES A week ago comment was made in this space about the conclusions of a study by the National Commission on Excellence in Education. The study, commissioned two years ago by Secretary of Education Terrell H. Bell, concerned itself with the quality of public instruction in the United States. The study concluded very little education was taking place, and that little was, on balance, devoid of anything approaching excellence. The title of the commission’s devastating report, “A Nation at Risk: The Imperative for Educational Reform” just about says it all. It noted: “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 as a people.” Now, that is strong stuff. If a similar commission had concluded that our future as a nation and as a people was being so imminently and surely threatened by some foreign power, the call to arms would be echoing through every village and farm. sadly, public response to the study has been something less than people taking to the streets and demanding educational reform. Aside from a few editorial blips, it was nearly a one-day news story. A few days after the document’s release James J. Kilpatrick, the widely respected columnist, summed up me reasons ror me collective no-num witn which it was received. “The cause, at bottom,” wrote Kilpatrick, “is that the American people simply don’t give a damn about their public schools.” He prefaced his conclusion by listing a series of studies over the past three decades which, while perhaps less prestigious, had come up with essentially the same findings as those in the commission’s report. Kilpatrick, of course, is right. And because he is right, he raises new alarms fully as frightening as those in the report itself. The parents of children presently in school presumably received their educations before the decline set in, or at least before it became acute. If they are unconcerned about the condition of public instruction, and are insensitive will the present crop of school children be when they grow up Snd become parents? The commission report devotes a major part of its findings to the impact of the nation’s lagging potential in the technical fields, but it also emphasizes the dangers of our narrowing horizons in the arts, social studies and general information about the world society in which we live. The Germans have a word for this indispensable ingredient which has somehow slipped from our educational agenda. It is Weltanschauung, or view of the world. But it is a far more comprehensive concept than that, and includes an appreciation of the individual’s relationship and responsibility as a member of society. For many of the products of our present school system, that relationship and responsibility does not appear to extend much beyond the next rock concert. So what is to be done? For starters, every school official, teacher, lawmaker and state official in the Commonwealth should read and re-read the commission’s report. Beyond that, a major effort should be initiated by the political leadership at all levels to inform the public concerning the urgency of the problem and the penalties inherent in a failure to deal with it. Only after such an informational process is completed will it be politically possible for the needed legislative action to be taken to attack the problems set forth in the report. To his credit, by creating his task forces on Education and the Future, Governor Charles Robb has set Virginia on important first steps in the right direction. But all the studies and reports in the world will be worthless unless the legislators are convinced they have public support for the costly and stringent measures which will be needed. These will include higher pay for teachers, greater demands on students and a generally more disciplined educational environment. Thus, it is not an overstatement to say that the very future of the Republic could well depend on how well and how quickly the American people can be persuaded to “give a damn” about their public schools. Do You Know? Rappahannock Associated Problem Solvers, a county-based advocacy group for the handicapped, offers the following facts in an effort to build better understanding of handicapping conditions. For information on RAPS, call the Rappahannock Mental Health Clinic.) Some people have a tendency to experience convulsions or seizures where there are short periods of unconsciousness or uncontrolled muscle movements. This condition is referred to as epilepsy or seizure disorder and is caused by a sudden, unusual burst of electrical energy in the brain. for parents to discover that their child has epilepsy can be alarming and tremendously disappointing. Through a more complete understanding of what epilepsy is, however, the initial shock may develop into the building of a loving, accepting environment where the child may continue to grow in self-esteem and confidence in his ability to succeed. How a child learns to view himself and his condition of epilepsy is largely determined by how his family and friends view him. If a child is over anxious about his seizure disorder, regarding it as the dominant feature in his life, or is fearful of his condition because he is overprotected by his parents, he may not develop independence and maturity as a child or as an adult. But if the child learns that he has a treatable disorder that need not interfere seriously with a normal life, if he is encouraged to share in the everyday activities of his peers and family, then he has the chance to develop into a mature, independent individual. The early experiences of acceptance and selfconfidence will also help temper the less sensitive reactions of others ignorant of the characteristics of epilepsy. If you are the parent, friend, relative, or teacher of a child with epilepsy, remember that this condition has not changed the individual himself. Although some precautions may need to be t&ken, that child will contmue to enjoy the same activities and people that he had epjoyed before the onset of the seizures. His need to experience the world and himself in a normal way has not been altered.

I Never Want To Go Back”: Alcoholics Tell Their Stories v. , Editor’s note: During the month of May, the Rappahannock News will feature a fourpart series on alcoholism; the nature of the disease, individual case studies, co-alcoholics and treatment. Our choice of alcoholism as a topic during mental health month 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 front this disease. We hope also to recognize the excellent work being done by the Rappahannock Mental Health Cli>iic and in particular, to thank our advisors for this series, Lee Nettles and Bob T realtor. In the second part of the series two local men describe their struggle with alcoholism. Their names have been changed. By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON THERESA REYNOLDS Tom “I guess I started drinking heavily from the time I started. I was about sixteen, but I was tall and I could get served. I knew my parents were alcoholics from the time I was in fifth or sixth grade. My father started losing jobs...we kept having to move. “I never thought about my own drinking then (as a teenager) I guess I drank more than the average teenager, but so did the kids I hung around with. Mostly it was on weekends. We’d go to bars. It was something to do. “After I got married, I started to think it was a problem—or actually, my wife thought it was a problem. I was always able to work—I never lost a job because of drinking. But I’d drink always after work and on weekends. “Before that, it was causing problems for me. There were a lot of drunk driving charges, mornings of waking up in a drunk tank somewhere, some drunk and disorderly charges. Most of that stopped when I got married. “No one ever said, ‘you’re an alcoholic.’ When I thought about it, at first I would tell myself I should cut down. That never worked. Finally, I would sometimes think I was an alcoholic but then I’d think, ‘so w hat?’ I wasn’t ready to stop altogether. “In my late twenties and early thirties I gradually started drinking all day long. I drank only beer and I’d have three or so between getting up and getting to a job. “Somewhere in there my mother had serious problems with alcoholism—convulsions and d.t.’s I had to commit her for treatment several times. That experience kept me from drinking hard liquor. I stuck to beer unless it was a special occasion. “I think I tried to fool myself. I’d say, ‘no more drinking except f r wine with meals.’ So, suddenly, I’d be going out for a lot of fancy meals. Then I’d realize I was fooling myself and go back to beer. “I stopped several times and it felt awful—I’d have headaches and feel real irritable. One beer would make me right. “Of course I knew I was an alcoholic, really. No matter how much beer I had in the house I’d drink it. I’d run out in the middle of the night for more. “During the day I’d stop at all the different little stores near where I worked. If it was in the morning I’d make sure to say that I was going to put it in the cooler for lunch or after work. My average was between two or three sixpacks a day. I drank as much as I could physically, without passing out or getting too drunk to work, although that sometimes happened. “The last time I stopped, I hope forever, I didn’t have the physical problems I had before. I had friends who “No One Ever Said ‘You’re An Alcoholic ’ had promised to help me if there were problems so it would have been o.k. if I needed help, but for some reason I didn’t. I’m not saying that I never will—I would certainly use whatever help I could find if the time came. I still have a prescription for Anabuse (a drug that causes extreme illness if combined with alcohol) and I’m aware of treatment centers like Primavera. I think of them as options if I can’t do it on my own. “I miss drinking. I think I miss the occasion more than the alcohol. There’s nothing very festive or happy about drinking coffee. Sometimes when I’m with people who are drinking I wish I could but it’s on a different level. I never really imnK mat i could. “I never want to go back. I lost my home because of drinking—that and other problems. I disappointed people I worked for and they didn’t call me back for other jobs. “I thought I’d feel much better, physically, as soon as I stopped. But the change has been gradual. I’ve lost a lot of weight. I do feel good. I’m proud I was able to do it, but I don’t really know if I’ve done it yet. I guess it never stops.” Part Two Alcoholism: No One Knows Its Cost Eddy “Alcoholics have addictive personalities. They’re obsessive. I won’t take two aspirins. Instead I take three. If shirts are on sale, I buy six. I still keep a bottle of soda on the bedside table every night to make sure I have one for the morning. “I was a heavy teenage drinker. But then it was a source of pride. I was always able to drink more than anyone else. I could chug-a-lug two beers without throwing up. I could toss down two or three shots of whiskey without passing out. I was always the one to walk people home or whatever. as i got older, I tended to rely on alcohol as an ice breaker. It helped me function, It helped me work. “I discovered early on that I could function on a fifth, two fifths of vodka a day. Booze became a very important part of my life. I was uncomfortable without it—but I was never really without it. I never put myself in a position where I had to abstain. “I think my father might have been an alooholic. My mother wasn’t. My dad’s father may have just been an excessive drinker—I don’t know. But the way he drank, never mixing alcohol with anything else, always drinking with spirit—I associated alcohol with gusto because of my father. I had my coffee black, my cigarettes without filters and my Scotch neat. “Unlike many alcoholics, I did my drinking alone. I didn’t see the point in paying Butler Featured In VPI Magazine James Butler, Rappahannock native was honored in the Spring, 1983 edition of Virginia Extension, a magazine published by the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service. Butler recently retired after twenty-six years as an Albemarle county agent. He presently serves as a county supervisor and member of the State Extension Advisory Committee. In the interview, Butler recalled his childhood as the oldest of six children of a farm laborer. He left Rappahannock to get a high school education, working his way through a private church school in Christiansburg. CALL FOE RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY REPUBLICAN MASS MEETING I. Jesse E. Pond. Jr..

I managed to function for years with a bottle of vodka in my desk drawer at work. “But I couldn’t keep it up forever. I had my own business—which I lost. I’d wake up in the middle of the night with the shakes and I’d drink Old Spice (after shave lotion), vanilla extract— anything with alcohol in it. “I had a series of jobs— over 100. And I lost them all. I always found fault with somebody else. When I was fired, when I lost my friends, it was always someone else’s fault, never my own. I could rationalize anything. No one but Mary (Eddy’s wife) ever confronted me with my drinking. “I put on 45 pounds and ended up in the hospital with hepotitis and mononucleosis. And still, I had an internist who wouldn’t tell me I was an alcoholic until Mary hammered him over the head and said ‘If you don’t, he’s going to die.’ i ne doctor said i wouki if I didn’t stop drinking. He told me I would irreparably damage my liver if I didn’t stop. But I didn’t accept that. I quit for a few days and then I started right back up again. “I spent the next twro or three years alternating bouts of heavy drinking with weeks of hospitalization. 1 lost everything but I kept on. Mary threw me out but I kept on. I kept on until I literally hit skid row. I ended up in a three month experimental program, a behavioral program that believed in the addictive personality. It included some A A (Alcoholics Anonymous), not an overemphasis, but I left there knowing I had to be in AA. “I started running programs on alcoholism, programs aimed at the drunk driver. I put together courses, conferences and seminars on alcoholism. I was aiming at being a counselor. But I never worked the 12 steps to sobriety (that AA espouses). I thought I had accepted that I was powerless over alcohol (step one) and I had tried to carry the message to other alcoholics that there’s help (step 12) but I’d missed the ten steps in between. “I had achieved a year and a half of sobriety. I'd slacked off from going to AA meetings. I’d disassociated myself from other alcoholics. And then I pot the news that my father had died. “I had no support system. I was white knuckling it alone. His death was a terrible blow but I realize now that if it hadn't been his death, it would have been something else. “1 saluted,my father with a shot of bourbon and 1 was off again. I was hospitalized, 1 dried out and then my mother died. Again, I had no program, no support group. I was alone in the world with my alcoholism. “I got drunk. I was hospitalized. I sobered up. I got drunk again. I was arrested. Even that didn’t scare me enough. I’d go to treatment programs and I’d slip out to my car at the treatment center for a drink. “I wasn’t willing to accept that I couldn’t manage my own life. I couldn’t throw away my own ego, my arrogance. I couldn’t admit that I couldn’t do it by myself. “I was miserable when I was drinking and I was miserable when I was dried. I tried suicide for attention, half hearted attempts. I was hospitalized eight times in one year. I was jailed a few times and I had no memory of what I’d done. I lost my last good job—and then I tried suicide again—this time seriously. I was commited to a state psychiatric hospital. “I was depressed, suicidal, I wouldn’t eat. 1 was incredibly alone. I couldn’t eat. Life wasn’t worth it. The doctor said if I didn’t eat, they’d throw me out. The hospital was terrible but I didn’t have any place left to go. I didn’t want to live but I was afraid to die. "My counselor said, ‘You will do what we tell you to do.’ And after all those years, all the jobs, all the money, all the pain, I said okay. He told me I had a terminal case of self-pity and I started listening. “But I had this incredible fear of the future. I knew if I didn’t find a higher power, a power bigger than me. 1 wouldn’t survive, I couldn’t stay sober. “I talked to one of the chaplains at the hospital and he said, ‘You don’t have to believe, just act as if you believe. Pray to have your fear removed. You don’t have to know who you’re asking. Just pray.’ i (i never oeen religious. In philosophical arguments. I'd always argued against the existence of a higher being. But I prayed. And I swear to God. the next morning, I wasn’t afraid. I wasn’t afraid. I wasn’t afraid for one day. That was the beginning for me. “I’m still not sure who or what God is but all you have to do is look for God. You don’t have to find him. “I was released from the hospital and spent the next five months in a half-way house, going to 10 or 12 AA meetings a week. I fought— I still had a lot of arrogance—but I tried. “That first year of sobriety was a year of miracles.

T. Valley was recently nabbed by a state inspector for illegally reselling booze purchased from an Alcohol Beverage Control Board package store. He was given community service instead of a jail sentence, prompting one court watcher to suggest that the service should entail going back into business. Everyone knows that Washington is a lovely place. Proof lies in the flocks of visitors who descend on the historical town through spring, summer and fall. New drop-ins who arrived a little ahead of the rush have been reported by William Carrigan. He’s been watching two Canadian Geese search the shore line of a pond in front of his Avon Hall, apparently looking for a vacation residence. “One keeps guard while the other one investigates. They’ve been checking out the islands,” Mr. Carrigan announced. “We’ve had ducks before but as far as I know, these are the first geese visitors to Washington.” Don and Judy Bomberger recently announced the birth of their first child, a baby girl they named Melody. Don, who teaches math and art and directs the dramatic productions at RCHS, and Judy, music and chorus teacher for both the elementary and high schools, are admired and loved by the county’s young people. But the respect they’re given by the kids doesn’t preclude a little good natured kidding. One young wag was overheard predicting that with one child tagged with a musical name, their second—if it’s a boy—is sure to be christened “Art.” Lottie Aylor: “She’s Just Good” At 72, Mrs. Lottie Aylor works a full week, "from Monday morning to Friday evening." Then she goes home, bakes biscuits and hams, works a bit on her quilts or may cook and serve a dinner for hundreds. “1 can cook most anything,” she says, and the many people who enjoy her Virginia country cooking agree. Lottie lives at Thornton Hill, her life-long home. Long after most folks are relaxing after a day's work. Lottie is mixing up biscuits by the hundreds, adding ingredients to her potato salad or rolling out the crust for her famous Thornton Hill apple pie. She supplies food for picnics or fancy dinners to Rappahannock folks who have heard of her reputation as a good cook. v iit'i wuik increases. Last Christmas time she filled orders for sixteen hams, five turkeys, 18 fruitcakes and “other cakes and biscuits and things." When the busy spring and summer social season and the Christmas rush are over, does Lottie limit herself to her full time job as a domestic and sit by the fire during the long winter evenings? Not a chance. Last winter she made 18 quilts during the seasonal lull in Rappahannock’s social life. "1 learnt myself to sew when I was just young,” Lottie said. She remembers making her daughters’ dresses from the printed feed sacks sold at the time. “They turned out real pretty," she said. Now, she makes quilts to order, following any pattern and enlarging the bright quilts to any size. “I've even made king-size quilts," she said. From the age of eight, Lottie was raised bv Mrs. Mattie Rail Fletcher, who took her in when her mother died. She ami her sister Betsy were taught by Mrs. Fletcher at night when the' house was quiet. Lottie helped out around the house and garden, and her responsibilities increased as she grew older. For fun. tinyoung girls rode horses, played ball and "got into devilment." Lottie remembers. After Lottie married Mr. Aylor in lit.'M, they started a family of six children, each of whom would be nicknamed by Nancy Fletcher. First came William Lewis, called “Moody" by Nancy because he was. Next came .lame F.dward. immediately nicknamed "Slid." Hath Kleanor came next and the pretty, plump baby not the nick name ‘Tin" from Nancy. This was enough lor Mattie Hall Fletcher. "No more," she said. "Absolutely not." By the time Russell K. was born, Mrs. Fletcher bail forgotten her warninn and allowed the nickname "Sam" to slip by. Ten years later Charlotte Ann, and then Paul Douglas were born and they avoided Nancy's creative nicknames. The older children satin in the choir at Hopewell. Younner ones were ushers. Sam is a trustee of the church; Charlotte is a deaconess, trustee and assistant clerk as well as beinn presi dent of the State Ushers As soeiation and secretary of the Missionary Circle. Lottie Aylor is proud of her children and proud of what she's accomplished with her hard work and many talents. Kven prouder are the friends who brag about her cooking, her kindness, her energy anil cheerfulness. One of these is Mrs. Arthur Miller, who said that Lottie is to be found, "wherever folks need her." "She’s just good," Mrs. Miller explained.

RCHS Presents Spring Musical What is "Lady Audley’s Secret?” Come and find out on May 27 or May 28 in the Rappahannock County High School auditorium. Production has been underway for several weeks to prepare for the musical, which is based on the 1860 novel by Mary Elizabeth Braddon. . “Lady Audley’s Secret” is an autnentic example of nineteenth century melodrama. The novel was considered daring for its discussion of such matters as class prejudice, marital infidelity and madness (a disease which in 1862 was considered at the very least hereditary and quite contagious). Join veteran RCHS players Julie Burke, Jon McCullough, Susan Dennis, Todd Robinson, Denise Shorb, Bob Baines, Jim McCul-^ lough and a host of othqrs as they try to discover “Lady Audley’s Secret.” WVPT’s “Pop Quiz” Enters Semi-Finals “Pop Quiz”, a weekly program featuring high school teams from the Shenandoah Valley and Piedmont region in academic competition, advances to the semi-finals.

Seventh Graders Recall Their Trip To Williamsburg Donald Settle All day Wednesday was spent walking around Williamsburg, Virginia’s second Capitol from 1704 to 1780. Our tour guides made sure we saw all there was to see that day. The Magazine, which means “storehouse,” is a place where ammunition was kept during the colonial and Revolutionary times. There were about three hundred guns, flags, swords, and drums stored on the walls. The magazine was constructed in 1715, at the request of Gov. Spotswood and provided an adequate storehouse for the military needs of Virginia. April Adams The Williamsburg jail, spelled gaol in colonial times, was a brick building, just behind the Capitol, that housed the prisoners, who were on trial, as well as the jailer and his family. The debtor’s quarters were much bptter than the cells for criminals. The debtor had a mattress to sleep on, a desk, a chair, and a lamp. The criminal prisoners had only hay. The women inmates livved above the house while the male inmates lived in cells beside the house. Outside the brick walls were the stocks which we tried on for size. Heather Kilpatrick One of our groups saw the instrument makers shop. Lutes, fiddles and round back guitars are made there. The guides explained that instrument makers always made one instrument from start to finish to be sure of the same sound throughout the process. Kelli Sisk All of us got to see the Capitol building, Governor’s Palace, magazine, PowellWaller House, the jail, and Bruton Parish Church. Each group got to see some of the following places: Raleigh Tavern, bakery, silversmith, brass forge, basketmaker, weaver, spinner, windmill, wheelwright, gunsmith, instrument maker, and College of William and Mary Wren Building. The Governor’s Palace was the best part of the tour for me. We had participation from our group which made it even more fun. I was to be the mayor who led our delegation asking the governot to meet with us. But he wasn’t home, so one of his clerks accepted our petition. Our guide taught us how to bow and curtsey when we were greeted. When we went into the dining room, we were treated like servants by a costumed butler. He practically ran the This RHtl’s 6rmI Ward Is... THE ALL NEW 1984 BMW 3181 Is Now On Display! C«m la and Tut Myo thoAH Haw THE ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE. MAIM UCIMU NO M44 mOTORg IZ7B It. M, last.

When our tour inside was over, we walked around the gardens. The whole trip was excellent and I would like to thank everyone who made it possible. Chandra Davis After shopping at Merchant’s Square, taking a rest, and having dinner, we went on the Lathorn Tour. We met our costumed guides at the courthouse and walked down the street carrying lanterns to the Apothecary Shop where they made medicine. Next, we went to the milliner who sold fabrics, hats, clothes and shoes. We walked down the street, down the steps behind the Post Office to the Book Bindery Shop. The Colonials made paper out of rags and covered books with leather. Last we went to the Print Shop. There the guide put tiny letters on the press, blotted it with ink, and put paper on it. He pressed the paper to the inked letters. Then he took it off and hung it up to dry. Roger Huff We were entertained by a group of teenage dancers at the Drum and Fire Building. Some of them played tin whistles and drums while the others dance and learned several colonial dances. The music and the dances differed greatly from the music of today. Angie Armentrout Thursday morning, after breakfast, >we loaded the buses and headed to Cape Henry. Just before entering the tunnel under Hampton Roads, we saw a submarine headed into the Chesapeake Bay. At Cape Henry we saw the cross where the colonial settlers first touched land on April 26, 1607, and gave thanks for their safe journey. We also saw the old and new lighthouses and climbed the old lighthouse to the top to see the Atlantic Ocean meet Cheapeake Bay. We also saw a slide show about Fort Story. I think everyone had fun; I know I did. Sean Wayland After a stop at McDonald’s for lunch, we headed for Suffolk and the Dismal swamp. The Dismal Swamp is located in southern Virginia and northern North Carolina. Lake Drummond is near the middle of the swamp. For the most part, though, the swamp is covered with forest consisting of Beech, Oak, Pine, Cedar, Cypress and Holly trees. There were a lot of Red Maple flowers all over the ground. The Dismal Swamp contains a peat layer of the topsoil, which is abQut six inches deep. The next layer contains clay and sand. The swamp is, of course, very marshy, and wet. If you ventured into the swarhp it would be a good idea to wear boots. There was much plant growth in the swamp. You could survive in the swamp if you needed to. There are many berries which are edible. We encountered one plant with bay leavs among the other various plants throughout the swamp. There was not as much animal life as we had expected. We saw only salamanders and newts. It was cloudy and overcast and the temperature was chilly as we walked on the raised wooded walkway through the swamp. There were also snakes and bears, we were told, which we fortunately didn’t encounter. There were some ducks on the lake, too. Lake Drummond was interesting to see. We rode down the four and half mile road parallel to the Washington ditch that George Washington surveyed. The water of the lake used to be pure and drinkable but it is now contaminated because of pollution. The lake doesn’t contain many fish because the water is very acid. There is a challenging question about how the lake was formed. It is a natural lake and perfectly round. The theory I agree with is that it was formed by the damaging fall of a meteor. It was probably filled up with rain. The lake is about two and a half by thee miles in diameter and only six feet deep at its deepest part. Darrell Atkins On the last night of our trip, we stayed at a Holiday Inn in Richmond. We got there about 6:30 after leaving the Dismal Swamp. We unpacked and went to dinner in the dining room. After dinner we saw a movie entitled, “The Eye of Jefferson”. The movie told about how Jefferson had been a great architect. Jefferson liked Greek ways of designing, expecially the domes in buildings. When he was asked to design the capitol building of Virginia, he decided that he would put a dome in it. He also did this with his home Monticello. Butch Foster After breakfast and packing the buses we were off to see Richmond. The state capitol building is still a wonderous sight. When we arrived we walked in the back of the original building and went upstairs. We entered the Rotunda. In the middle of the Rotunda is a! statue of George Washington, the only one he modeled for in real life. If you stand in front of the capitol, to the left is the Senate and to the right is the House of Delegates. The Old Senate chamber is in front. Two Rappahannock students were among thirteen students from Piedmont Technical Education Center to attend an annual State leadership conference in Richmond on April 15 to 17. The conference, sponsored by the Future Busi ness Leaders Association, was attended by Cindy Bywaters and Todd Robinson, FBLA members.

Rappahannock Journal •Farm •Business •Garden •Rural Life Thistles Pose Prickly Problem For Farmers Advancing invisibly in Rappahannock fields right now is the Canadian thistle, a prickly invader that can put out underground roots ten to twelve feet in one season, covering an area 20 feet in diameter in the space of a year. New shoots pop up from these roots, becoming fully developed plants in seven or eight weeks. After flowering, the plants also propogate by seeds which are borne on the wind to start new thistle patches where ever they fall. So ideally adapted for survival is this weed that each piece of a root can start a new colony and each little seed can survive for years underground. The capacity to store food value is so developed in the thistle that continuous cultivation breaking up stems and roots may still not kill it. In a wheat field with a severe infestation, this pest may cause a reduction of 60 percent of the yield. as witn many other weeds, there are many ways to approach the problem. The best solution might be found in a combination of several methods of control: cultural, cropping, chemical and biological. Because of the food reserves mentioned, cultivation of the infested field works best if it’s done at the time when food reserves are the lowest: four to six weeks after the first plant emerges. If it is done thoroughly and repeated every three weeks, most of the thistle problem can be solved. First, plow and disk. Then, cultivate four inches deep when new shoots appear. About ten days after each cultivation new shoots appear. If they’re broken up within 15 days of appearance, they will never be able to furnish food to the roots. Mowing is also effective if a heavy stand of a competitive crop (such as alfalfa) is present. Mow at least twice during the season. Chemical T reatments Several chemical controls are recommended for thistles, all applied in the early bud stage. Brand names are listed in the United States Department of Agriculture booklet Canada Thistle and Its Control. To Control By Cropping A healthy crop is one preventive measure against the damage thistles can do. There are forage crops that compete most effectively against the Canada thistle, emerging early in the spring and cutting off the light and oxygen available to the weed. Some forage crops like alfalfa recover more quickly from mowing than the thistle, so have an advantage in a mowed field. Winter wheat and barley compete more effectively with Canada thistle than spring wheat or barley. Because thistles are perennial, they get a good head start on later-planted crops. Thistle Weevil In 1969 severely infested areas of Warren County participated in an experiment designed to relieve some of the thistle control problems. Released in these areas was the thistle weevil, a strange little bug who is hungry only for the thistle bracts and heads. To insure that the weevil would not turn out to be a curse in disguise, agriculture officials isolated the weevil imported from France, to insure that it did, indeed, feed only on thistles and posed no threat to other crops. The Rappahanndck News followed the progress of the Warren County experiment with an article in July, 1978. At that time Warren Extension Agent Gary DeOms reported that within the three years following the first release it was hard to find over a couple of hundred thistles on the entire 50-acre tract. Former Rappahannock Extension Agent Rap Owings got some weevils from across th</ mountain and released them here. He said then th^t the areas chosen for release were infested THE HOMELITE ST-100 Gasoline-Powered String Trimmer • Trims closer in than a lawnmower can go farther out than an electric can reach • Only 7V« lbs (lightest gasoline trimmer made)* Exclusive Idle-Line™ feature advances string only when idling — Saves plants from unexpected string advance* 2<T cutting path (largest of any string trimmer) • Homelite 13 hp 2-cycle engine • Adjustable handle for better balance • Fuel tank m handle fcr easier refueling • Uses large, high-quality 095 dia string Stop By For A FREE Demonstration And Some Of The Best Prices In TheArea-We Carry A Complete Line Of Homeiite String Trimmers Everyone Can Shop Co-Op For Value And Low Prices!

He estimated at the time that it would take about five years for the weevils to control thistles in these areas, a time period too long for farmers with serious thistle problems to consider. Owings recommended the weevils as a long-run rather than immediate solution. Farmers who wish to investigate this annual method of thistle control or with any other questions may call the extension office at 675-3619. Thistle Life Cycle Of The French Thistle-Weevil Eggs are usually laid on bracts of the thistle heads at the bud stage in early spring (April/May). Some are also found on the stems during heavy infestation. The eggs are brown specks about 0.5 to 1 mm in diameter. This stage lasts for 6 days. Larva: On hatching, the young larva feeds on the bracts and into the thistle head. Larvae complete their development within the thistle heads. Many can be found in a sin gle head; they change into the pupa stage in about 6 weeks. It is during this feeding stage that the thistle heads are destroyed and fail to provide the usual number of seeds. Pupa: The pupa stage is spent inside the thistle head, where many pupation chambers are fomed. Each full-grown larva forms a pupation chamber for its development into a pupa. This pupal stage lasts for 7-10 days before emergence of the adult weevil. Adults: The adults emerge in July/August and do not stay on the plants for very long. They seek shelter from the summer heat and then hibernate in the winter. They overwinter as adults and emerge in the spring, at the time of thistle elongation, to lay eggs on the developing buds. Each adult lays an average of about 200 eggs. The adults are dark brown and about 10 to 15 mm long. There is usually one generation per year. Homemakers’ Week By BIRGITT THORNHILL Extension Agent The homemakers’ week (May 1-7) just passed reminds us of the extension homemakers’ contribution to the quality of life in the commonwealth. The Virginia Extension Homemakers was one of the first in the nation when it was organized in 1923. Virginia had one of the first Extension Homemakers clubs because it was the first place Extension was organized. The first home demonstration agent in the nation was Virginian Ella G. Agnew. she was named state agent for “Tomato Club” girls in 1910 and when Extension was formally established in 1914, she was named the Virginia Home Demonstration agent. The "Tomato Clubs” were organizations of young girls who learned the latest scientific methods of preserving fruits and vegetables. The mothers of the members of the “Tomato Clubs” also were getting together to learn better and newer techniques for many of their household activities and these groups were the forerunners of the Extension Homemaker clubs. Another Virginia first was the leadership of the national organization, the National Extension Homemakers Council. Mrs. Guy Roop, who had been president of the Virginia Council, served as the first president of the national when it was organized in 1936. Through the years, the Virginia Extension Homemakers have made many contributions on both the state and local levels. Among the highlights qf these contributions was the establishment in 1945 of the Bessie Dun Miller Clinic for cancer prevention at the University of Virginia Hospital. This was the first of its kind in the state. During the years of World War II, the homemakers accepted a quota of raising $168,000 for a bond drive. The sales credited to the group were $1,168,000. The clubs contributed funds for the purchase of an ambulance in 1944. More funds went for medical recreation equipment for patients at McGuire Veterans Hospital in Richmond. During 1949, the local clubs contributed to the CROP program—the Christian Rural Ovei-seas Program. encouraging reading nas always been one of the projects of the Virginia Extension Homemakers and annually, it a warns certificates to members who read five books or more. There were approximately 8,000 reading certificates awarded in 1977 when the motto was “Learn to Read - Read to Learn.” Because of this special interest in reading, it was appropriate for the clubs to contribute to the Newman Library at Virginia Tech. Extension Homemakers have helped to provide education for many individuals. Its series of scholarships are presented annually and in 1982 amounted to $6,000 worth of scholarships. The scholarships are named in honor of the pioneers of the organization - Ella G. Agnew, Mrs. Guy Roop, Maude E. Wallace and Hallie Hughes. In 19(30, the Extension Homemakers furnished the Woohvine House at Virginia Tech so that graduate students in home economics could be housed on campus. There were many contributions to the establishment of the Donaldson Brown Center for Continuing Education, which started with the purchase of a $1,000 war bond in 1943. The money at the maturity of the bond was to be used for building a house at Virginia Tech. Through the years the concept of a house changed to one of the continuing education center and by the time ground was broken for the Center in 1965, the clubs had been actively involved in contributing thousands of dollars as well as furnishing rooms. extension Homemakers is primarily an educational organization where the members learn the latest techniques and newest information available ona variety of subjects. As a locallyoriented organization, the clubs can each have educational programs based on the questions that the members have.

Farmers participating in the Acreage Reduction Program or the Payment-in-Kind Program are required to file an acreage report. Fall seeded crops reports must be filed by June 10, 1983. Spring seeded crop reports for com and grain sorghum must be filed by July 15, 1983. A Report of the Conservation Use Acreages must also be timely filed. Failure to meet the applicable deadline for these crops on participating farms will result in loss of 1983 program benefits; and if you are participating in the Payment-In-Kind Program, failure to report accurately and timely will result in the farmer’s payment of liquidated damages. These reports are vital to all base farms in Rappahannock County - participating farms, because of program benefits, and non-participating, because of history information on the farm to prevent the loss of base acreage.

Boys Take 3rd In Bull Run, Send 11 On To Regionals rvappanannocKs boys capped off their best track season ever last Saturday with a third place finish in Bull Run District championships held at Clarke County, qualifying 11 Panthers for regional competition at Fluvanna this weekend. “They didn’t let me down! They ran their hearts out, said coach Monty Saunders. “We haven’t had a great deal of depth in any event this year. It’s been a great team effort that has brought us victories,” he said, pointing to the 9-1 record posted despite a short roster of just 20 names by season’s end. “In the district, Rappahannock’s ‘heartbreak pack’ was only eight points from first and a single point from second,” the coach noted. At the end of the afternoon, the tally stood Rappahannock 93, Stonewall Jackson 94 and Clarke 101. (Clarke’s Eagles were the single team to beat Rappahannock during the regular season, edging out the Pan thers by a slim 2l/t points.) Eugene Grigsby was Mr.-Do-It-All for RCHS on Saturday, taking first places in the 100 meter and 200 meter dashes and in the long jump. He added a second place medal to his haul for his part in the 800 meter relay. Rapp’s foursome of Grigsby, Michael Starks, Larry Sisk and Wayne Woodward finished in 1:36.2, less than two seconds behind the winners. Doyle Dunn was tops in the district in the high jump, clearing 6’3”, and followed up that bit of high flying with a leap of 397” in the triple jump for third. After leading the entire race, Scott Keithlev was literally nosed out in the final stride of the mile run, taking second in 4:40.6 behind Else Dougan of Manassas Park who broke the tape in 4:40.4. It was Keithley’s fastest time of the year at the distance. Craig Kenyon burst from way back in the pack to take second in the 800 run, his 2:07.3 just a fraction behind the winning 2:07.2 posted by Stonewall’s Philip Runion. Other trackmen who qualified for next week’s regional finals at Fluvanna include Clarence Pendleton with a third in the high jump and Ronnie Atkins with a third in the two mile. Rappahannock’s number two distance runner continued his push toward the top spot in Panther standings with a fifth in the mile in 4:51.6, his best for the season. Lindsay Roberts turned in his best performance for 1983, as well, in the 300 meter intermediate hurdles, crossing the line in 44.5 seconds for fifth. In field events, Tim Williams was far from his usual mark but qualified for regionals in the shot put with a throw that traveled 42’6'/4”. Larry Sisk broke the tape in his heat of the 400 and was sixth overall in the event, winning a trip to the regionals. The mile relay team of Chris Caperton, Ken Estes, David Dodson and Sisk finished fourth in the six-school district meet. —Rappahannock News Photo/D. Hutchinson EUGENE GRIGSBY won three first place medals at the Bull Run District boys track championships last Saturday, breaking the tape in the 100 meter and 200 meter dash and leaping 20’5” in the long jump. 22 Medals At District Send Lady Panthers On nappanannocK will send girls to compete in ten events at the regional track championships after outstanding individual performances at last Saturday’s Bull Run finals. As a team, the Lady Panthers were a disappointing fourth, with 77 points to i34f forCfStonewall Jackson, 86 for Strasburg ana iw? for host Clarke County. “They didn’t place as high as we expected for the team,” noted coach Ann Speiker. “But individually, they can be proud of themselves.

Shannon Watton took her spot in the 400 and Brenda Walker in the 800. Both subs connected well on the hand-offs and showed enough speed for red ribbon finishes and the chance to go on to the regionals. (First through sixth place finishes in individual competition for Bull Run and first and second in relays advance with top qualifiers in two other districts to the regional track meet this Saturday at Fluvanna.) “I was pleased and proud of the way Shannon and Brenda were able to step in. It’s an example of the team spirit that has helped us this entire season,” Speiker said. “Of course, Kathryn (Davis), Cristol (Porter) and K. W.

Cindy Weaver was third (30’0”), Marie Davis fifth (28’K)1/-”) and Donna Williams sixth (28’5V>"). “It sure was nice seeing all three Rappahannock girls win their medals in one event,” Speiker noted. Weaver threw the discus short of her usual distance but far enough for second place and Davis continued to add inches with her fourth place toss. “This has been a very enjoyable and exciting season for me as a coach,” said Ann Speiker. “We’ve had our fair share of wins as the girls have continued to improve, always a great reward for a coach.” In regular season meets, the girls lost only to Clarke County and only by two points, Speiker reported. “I’m so very proud of both the girls and the boys. We have a great bunch of athletes. The only sad part about this year is that so many—Cristol, K.W., Eugene (Grigsby), Doyle (Dunn), Cindy (Weaver), Larry (Sisk) and Tim (Williams)—will be graduating.

The Brewers came out on top in the opener, 9-5. Big hitters for Sperryville were Gary Jenkins with two doubles and a single and Richie Burke and Tommy Whorton, who both went two for three at the plate. With Pullen again on the mound, the Brewers took the second contest, 8-2. Gary Jenkins, Jonas Jenkins, Pullen and C. E. Dodson were all twro for three. Jonas Jenkins supplied the power for the Sperryville batters, connecting for a Trout Fishing Seminar Set The Rapidan Chapter of Trout Unlimited will hold its May meeting on the banks of the Rose River.

Tuesday’s home game against Stonewall Jackson gave pitcher Jeff Porter a one-hitter and a Rappahannock win while last Friday’s contest at Manassas Park saw the Panthers buried by the district leading Cougars. “Friday’s game was our worst of the year. We lost 22-2 in six innings,” reported coach Doyle Dawson. The Cougars scored every inning as Dawson cleared the bull pen, using every Rapp pitcher and then some to try to stop the barrage. Jeff Porter was on the mound for the first two innings, then Mike Leake replaced him only to be replaced bv Tom Sisk in the third. Pops Aylor threw in the fifth and Tater Williams in the sixth. “But nothing worked,” the coach lamented. 1 he Cougars only connected for nine hits—but four were home runs—ami 15 batters walked to first base. Rick Slawson, catcher for Manassas Park, powered three homers, two of them grand slams, in his first three times at the plate, knocking in 10 runs. “Our kids got behind and they lost their enthusiasm," Dawson said. “They didn’t give up but they sure wanted to get that game over and go home!” The deficit on the mound RAA Plans Registration Registration for the Rappahannock Athletic Association’s summer baseball program will be held Saturday.

Add 15 walks and seven errors and you get 22, the Cougars' total for the afternoon. Rapp’s only scores came in the last inning on back-toback homers to center field by Porter and Jack Jenkins. One Hitter Before a home crowd on Tuesday, it was a different story as Porter’s pitching paved the way to a Panther win over Stonewall Jackson, 3-1. The victory was doubly sweet because the Rappahannock nine played errorless ball for the first time this year. The Panthers took the lead in the second inning when Pops Aylor doubled to right field, stole third and then scored on Mike Leake’s single. In the third, renter demonstrated he has power at the plate as well as on the mound, with a double to right field. Following Avlor’s example, the speedy sophomore stole third anil then raced home on an error by the Stonewall catcher. Ay lor again drove the ball deep into right field for another double in the forth inning, again stole third and then came home on Leake’s ground ball to second. The only other Rappa hannoek hits were singles by Robert Myers, Tom Sisk and Timmy Settle. “The Stonewall pitcher threw well, too," said Dawson. "Ho was f>-0 going into Tuesday’s game and had the most wins of any pitcher we’ve faced this year." Hut in the duel on the mound, Porter was victorious. He held the Generals until the sixth inning, then struck out the lead batter and walked the next two before Wavne Murphy, Stonewall's pitcher, managed a single to center field to drive in the lone run for the visitors.

Porter struck out ten and walked six. 1 hi* Panthers, now f>-(i in the district and (»-i> overall, have been out of the Hull Run play-offs for the past two weeks, according to Dawson.

School Board this turn sour right awffy,” she said. “It’s difficult for me to believe that we have adequate funding for the in- dex salary system.” Eastham spoke again: “We must examine, Mr. Smith, the facts of life. We must look at this in light of the fiscal situation of the county. What it amounts to is that the supervisors are caught in a bind of their own making. They had to either cut services or raise taxes. As politicians are in the habit of doing, they did a little of both. This all stems from the low taxation of agricultural and forestal districts. I tried desperately to address the fiscal situation of the county. Where were you, Mr. Smith, then; where were the other school board members?” Randall Updike noted that, in addition to cutting entry level salaries, the RhA proposal distributed the 4''( by smaller increases at the upper end of the seniority system. “The entry level cut doesn’t bother me as much as this," he said. “Rut the older teachers may want to retire soon. To fail to give them equal raises will affect them the rest of their lives.” Nelson Lane objected to both of the points raised by Updike. “This is an unseen swindle, ‘vocus-poeus’ he said angrily. “The new teachers who will lose money — they’re the ones who need it most. They’re just starting out — they don’t have as much money as you (indicating Smith). This is highway robbery.” Richard Smith replied. “Nothing has changed. The index figures are the same as they’ve been from the start.” Superintendent Robert Estabrook tried to calm the angry board : “We’re all terribly disappointed by the actions of the board of supervisors. It’s important that we act, and are seen to act publicly, as a team. I’m sorry to see choosing of sides, especially public choosing of sides. It does violence to our ability to act as a whole body. My plea to all of you is to say that we’re desperately in need of a group effort here." Eater, Donald Bomberger returned to the board with an new schedule, cutting the new teachers more, but restoring increases at the upper end of tin.. “I come to you as an individual,” Bomberger said. “I have new information that perhaps you will consider.” Eastham objected: "Is this board meeting or not?” he asked angrily. Nancy Reeve stated her desire to have as much information as possible before making a decision on the teachers’ salaries. Over Eastham’s objection, the board heard Bomberger’s presentation and voted subsequently to apply the Y/( across the board, using neither of the alternatives presented by the teachers. Nancy Reeve and Randall Updike voted against the motion with Lane, Massie and Eastham supporting it. In other business, the board: •Heard a report from the superintendent that the Department of Labor and Industry had directed them to replace an air compressor at the bus shop and that this has been done, at a cost of $1,400. •Directed the clerk to include only board discussion and action in the minutes, with handouts and explanations to be part of a separate packet or maintained in the files. •Accepted the offer of Henry and Mary Beumer of Manassas to give .$1100 to the senior making "a tremendous effort to graduate.” •Set the regular June meeting.

JobShop (Continued from Page 1) ond. There is virtually no limit to the number of disadvantaged workers an employer may hire. Unemployed who want to participate in the program must first be certified by the Virginia Employment Commission (VEC). Certification is based on the period of time out of work and the individual’s and family’s income history. Social Services director Sylvia Kreitler reports that a VEC representative will be at the Rappahannock County Welfare Department’s offices in Washington Wednesday. May 18, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. to certify people for The JobShop. Those interested are asked to call t)75-.'5326 to schedule an appointment. The following week from Monday through Wednes (lay. May 23-25, Walter Hitchcock, manager of the JobShop, will conduct a three-day training session to prepare Rappahannock’s unemployed workers for the 30 Warrenton openings and other positions. Attendance is mandatory for all three days, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., to qualify for The JobShop program. “The Rappahannock County Welfare Department will provide transportation and babysitting services, for both the certification and the three-day training sessions, if necessary,” said Kreitler. “We don’t want anyone to miss The JobShop just because they don’t have a ride or because they don’t have anyone to keep a child.” For further information, on The JobShop, call G753326. THE PLACE To Go ^Continued from Page 1 ) They’ve soaked up bits of local lore in the process. “We heard that Miss Susie Wood, the first person to live here after the war, put a whole new floor over where a bottle of ink had been spilled. She’s supposed to have declared, ‘I’m not going to have any Yankee ink on my floor!’” Peggy reported. “It’s a grand old place,” remarked her contractor husband. “But we’ve never been so busy in our lives. We haven’t even unpacked yet.” Peggy added. “The view keeps us going. We ask ourselves everyday how could anything be so beautiful!” If the Smiths were busy before last month, they’ve been doubly—triply—even quadrouply—busy since. It was only 30 days ago, give or take a few, that they looked at the apple packing shed, former home of the Rappahannock Farmers’ Cooperative, and saw a giant indoor flea market instead. As of last week, Arthur had replaced 9(5 multi-paned windows and Peggy had washed them all. “I still have 30 more to go,” he said. “And 30 left that the good fairy has to wash,” she added. They've swept down cobwebs and swept out trash and added a little alcove that Peggy plans to furnish with gingham covered tables and decorate with baskets of hanging plants to make a comfortable resting spot for antique hunters to sip cider. They plan to repaint the building in traditional Wil liamsburg colors and hope to have a cupola up, the last by the grand opening. “If the dear Lord will only give us a few more hours every day,” Peggy added with a mock moan. By summer, their time table calls for the long loading dock, now dubbed front porch, to be fdled with sellers offering treasures from attics and fresh produce and flowers. “We’re trying to get something for everybody. We want to have apples, of course, and homemade bread,” said Peggy. Specials for this Saturday’s and Sunday’s grand opening celebration include a weaver who will give a wool spinning demonstration and country and blue grass music performed by two local bands, Joel Tate and Joe White from Culpeper. “The response to our project from Rappahannock people has been wonderful,” Peggy reported. Sherri Woodard and her Faith Mountain Herbs and Antiques, Eva Stephenson and her exquisitly dyed and fashioned corn husk dolls, Tom Von Fange and his artistry in wood, Emmett White and his antiques and Nan and Jim Thomanson and their Country Heritage crafts have all reserved space. Elmer Atkins has volunteered to donate cider and a steady stream of wellwishers have promised to show up for the festivities. “We’re hoping it will end up being THE place to go in Virginia,” Peggy said, beaming her wide smile. “If you haven’t seen the Sperryville Indoor Flea market...” “You haven’t lived,” her husband finished. Only you can prevent forest fires. m A Public Service.of This Newspaper The Advertising Council fflSTem viwiM, m REALTOR* METRO 471-4308 OFFICE 703-347-7171 P.O.
