Opposition Mounts To Utility’s Appeal By THERESA REYNOLDS Knppahnnmx k New* Staff Writer Over thirty Rappahannock landowners met in Washington last Thursday night to plan their response to Potomac Edison’s appeal to the Virginia Supreme Court. Most, but not all, of those attending the meeting were landowners who could be affected by the utility’s plans to upgrade its existing line using an old right-ofway agreement. The upgrading planned by the power company replaces lines with a new 138 kilovolt line, a carrying capacity increase of sixteen times. The area of proposed upgrading is part of a larger transmission loop carrying power from Front Royal to Luray and to Gordonsville; Front Royal to Sperryville and to Gordonsville; and from Luray to Sperryville, making a dual supply to all those points. Many landowners involved suspect that this entire loop will eventually be involved. The meeting’s organizers, the newly-formed Rappahannock Homeowners Association, stressed the importance of informing other property owners over which the current 34.5 KV line passes so that they might join the effort. But affected property owners aren’t the only ones concerned. Susan Cameron, who with her husband Bill, brought the original suit against PotEd, said Tuesday, “This effort is something that will affect all of us. We live here in Rappahannock because it’s so beautiful. I hope to die here. They (the utility) are trying to take this away from us, and by winning their appeal, will set a precedent for the whole state.” On May 10, Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson granted the Camerons a permanent injunction, directing the utility to restore the Cameron’s property to its pre-existing condition or initiate condemnation proceedings. With that round won by the Camerons, Potomac Edison has since filed its intention of appealing Robertson’s decision to the state Supreme Court. The company has until August 9 to file its appeal. RHA Coals At Thursday’s meeting, chairman Diana Bird outlined the goals of the Rappa hannock Homeowners Association, and added new ones suggested by members: • forcing PotEd to remove the poles and lines already erected on county properties; • countering attempts at new condemnations and if that fails, insuring that new installations reflect realistic county needs; • seeing that scenic and other damages to property owners are fairly compensated; • keeping any new rights of way to 25 feet rather than the 50 feet sought by the utility; • encouraging affected property owners not to settle with PotEd prior to the resolution of the suit; • educating all county residents on how the new lines may affect property values, subsidiary distribution lines and the ultimate goals of PotEd, when revealed. Bird explained the purposes of last week’s meeting. Members were asked to contribute to the Cameron’s expenses in upholding the case when it is appealed and to nominate officers to serve the group. She said that she (Continued on Page 2) Sperryville Registered is Historic District Labeling Sperryville as “one of the very few such villages remaining in the Commonwealth”, the Virginia Historic Landmarks Commission has named the entire town of Sperryville to its historic districts register. The Commission’s undated release said that Sperryville has been virtually unchanged since the 1920’s. The Commission singled out the architecture of Sperryville for particular mention: “Intermingled with the village’s vernacular architec ture of the settlement period are postbellum houses built under the influence of the picturesque styles of the 19th-century Romantic Revivals, as well as a diverse collection of workers’ housing along the Thornton River and on Routes 522 and 1001.” The action by the landmarks’ committee comes seven months after Bryan Mitchell, its executive director, appeared before the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors to request their endorsement of the designation. Mitchell was accompanied by David Edwards, who had been researching historical sites county-wide. At that time, Edwards noted that no application for the registration of Sperryville as a whole had been received by the Commission. “The Commission has received numerous requests over the past few years for historic designation on individual houses. They started to pile up and we thought it was time to take a look at Sperryville,” Edwards said. At the December 9, 1982 meeting, Mitchell assured the supervisors that it would be entirely up to local government as to whether historic zoning districts should be created and what type of 1 controls historic zoning \ would impose. He also pointed out that appearance on the registry carried no restrictions, architectural or otherwise. The board also heard re(Continued on Page 5) —courtesy Hill l oom is MAIN ST., SPERRYVILLE is pictured here in the 1920’s, during an era of commerce and industry. The entire village has been designated as an historic district by the National Register of Historic Places. School Board Contemplates Tight Budget By THERESA REYNOLDS Itappahannock News Staff Writer “I’m very concerned about our new budget,” School Superintendent Robert Estabrook told the Rappahannock School Board at its special meeting June 22. “This is very tight. There’s little margin at all.” The board had just heard Sam Rosenthal, their insurance consultant, analyze insurance proposals. The proposals had been submitted at the regular board meeting June 14, but the decision had been deferred until later to give the respresentative from Industrial Insurance Management a chance to review and recommend each submission. Rosenthal had disappointing news for the hardpressed body: the $15,000 budgeted for complete insurance of Rappahannock’s schools now looks more like a $21,000 expense, extra money hard to come by from the pared-down 1983-84 school budget. Rosenthal had told the board earlier during the budget process, that he could cut the budgeted $21,000 down to $15,000 by releasing the insurance needs of the school to a competitive process. After reviewing the seven proposals, however, the funds needed were backed up to the original level. The insurance company selected by Rosenthal, Dejarnette and Paul of Richmond, estimated that, with the Workmen’s Compensation coverage by Liberty Mutual, they could fulfill the school’s needs for $21,647. “This is by no means a final figure,” Rosenthal said. “I need your authority to go back to Dejamette and Paul and bargain with them. After all, if you don’t ask, you won’t get.” The board agreed with Rosenthal’s choice and gave him the authorization to negotiate with the company in attempt to reduce its quoted premiums in the board’s favor. Rosenthal’s lively descriptions of insurance disasters livened up an otherwise dry subject. He did point out areas in which the proposal provided necessary upgrading of insurance over previous levels. “What about the teacher who gets upset and wallops the students wo are driving him crazy,” he said about the need for increasing liability insurance. “What about the high school principal who decks an irate parent about to assault him?” What about a school bus accident. After all, 66 bodies are worth a lot of money.” “I must say, Mr. Rosenthal, your descriptions tonight are very vivid,” said Robert Eastham, encouraging the representative to continue in better taste. Also cited by Rosenthal was the need for more library, forgery, theft, employee dishonesty, boiler, and power failure insurance. DeJamette and Paul’s proposal, he said, contained all of these measures to upgrade the schools’ portfolio. Rosenthal was to advise Estabrook of the final results after which the schools would contract with DeJarnette and Paul and Liberty Mutual for complete school coverage. School Board Office/ Bus Shop Estabrook told the board that the problem of the rear window at the bus shop had been solved by using a standard window (so employees have a view of the gas tank) but adding bars for vandalism and burglary prevention. “The bars were no extra expense,” he said. “They were done by our staff.” Pay-Out One of the purposes of an extra, end-of-the-year school board meeting is to approve warrants that have been submitted since the regularly scheduled meeting early in the month. This is necessary in order to close the books for the budget year and turn over extra monies to the supervisors. This year the board faced no decision on spending money left over, since it had promised the supervisors to turn in any money left when requesting from them the difference between actual and anticipated costs for the (Continued on Page 2) Carnival In Sperryville The Sperryville Carnival, which began last night (Wednesday) and runs through this Saturday, will feature a parade tonight at 7 p.m. Friday night’s special event will be the crowning of the queen, and Saturday night the grand prize will be awarded.

Richmond Business Hits Home New Laws In Effect July 1 By SEAN ADAMS Arundrl Nrwapapcra Corrapondtnt It’s that time of year again when most of the hills the General Assembly enacts take effect. On Friday more than 200 bills approved by the session of the legislature and signed by Gov. Charles S. Robb will become law. Most of them take effect July 1, and they range from revisions to local government charters to changes in tax and criminal law affecting all Virginians. Among those who may be in for a big surprise are lft year-olds who are accustomed to drinking beer in bars and restaurants. Kffective Friday, petsons must be 19 to legally tlrirtk Iteer on-premises in Virginia. That change was approved at the end of this year’s session, after debate on one of the most emotional subjects that the 140 lawmakers considered: drunk driving an<I what to do about it.

Local governments will no doubt be lobbying the 19K4 assembly for such authority. But what they get from the legislature next year — or whether they get anything at all — will have a great deal to do with a re port the assembly's Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission will present in August. JLARC has been studying the 95 counties and 41 cities in Virginia to determine their financial health and stability, and to see whether state legislation is needed to give them greater ability to raise the revenue they need to provide services and to satisfy state mandates in education, social services, health, corrections and other areas. In a preliminary report presented June 1J, JI,ARC found that although local governments in Virginia are not going broke, some are beginning to feel varying degrees of “fiscal stress” and need help from the 1984 assembly. “We didn’t find any evidence that local governments are going bankrupt,” said John Bennett, JLARC’s chief legislative analyst on the report. But the report did find (Continued on Page 2)

Opposition Mounts To Utility’s Appeal (Continued from Page 1) had spoken with representatives 01 Dotn tne Izaak Walton League and the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection about support from those groups and promised to pursue the matter further. David Konick, the Cameron’s attorney, told the group that it may take a year for the State Supreme Court to decide whether or not to hear the appeal. He added that the importance of the case led him to believe that the court would hear it. He advised property owners that it may be necessary to seek injunctions against PotEd from continuing its proposed work pending the appeal. Offers To Settle Several present spoke of attempts by the utility to persuade them to settle. Offers made them ranged from $1,500 to $8,000, depending on the size of the areas immediately affected by the poles and lines. No one present, however, had agreed to settle. Konick mentioned the requests made by Douglas Baumgardner, Commonwealth’s Attorney, and Delegate Andy Guest to the State Corporation Commission to look into the proposed plan for PotEd’s expansion, asking the SCC to discover if the proposal was wasteful and inefficient, and a later request to examine fraudulent use of an old right-of-way. In the first instance, Konick said, the SCC denied it had authority to do so because the line is less than 200 KVs. Konick said that he believes there is no such stricture for the fraudulent use request and suggested that the group might be able to force the SCC to give the reasons why it will not or cannot investigate. Konick told the group that the State Supreme Court could completely reverse Robersons decision; that it could send the case back for further proceedings; or that it could uphold the decision, forcing PotEd to remove the lines or pay for damages. In the latter case, the utility could still upgrade its lines as planned, but a group of Rappahannock County residents would be selected by the court to decide how much compensation was due the Camerons. Ambiguous Easements Frank Reynolds, a staff attorney with the Piedmont Environmental Council, cautioned those attending that the litigation begun by the Camerons has implications for many Rappahannock landowners. He said the whole issue boils down to one question: “What are the rights of a utility company under an ambiguous easement agreement?” When answered, he said, this question will eventually affect every landowner in the state who has a utility easement crossing his property. The landowners formed a committee to submit names of officers at a later meeting. Meanwhile, the group asked Diana Bird to act as temporary chairman. Many present made contributions towards legal expenses for the appeal. For All Of Us The group’s efforts continued during the past July 4 activities in Washington, where they displayed materials relating to the power line controversy and collected more legal funds. Susan Cameron said that she was “amazed at the interest and support coming from all sections of the county.” “We’ve gotten support and contributions fro < people who are no where near the power line,” she said. “I think everyone knows that this is for all of us.” School Board (Continued from Pane 1) school board office/bus shop. In addition to turning back $47,000 left over from the year’s expenditures (out of $57,000 borrowed for the bus shop) Estabrook said that the Supervisors would also have the use of the $44,818 difference between the money coming in for the school from all sources ($2,349,741) and the money that the schools had been authorized to spend ($2,304,923). “This should be good news for the supervisors,” Uappaljannack Neiua Rappahannock & Adjoining Counties per year $8.00 Elsewhere in the U.S. per year $10.00 Outside the U.S. per year $8.00 plus postage SUBSCRIPTION RATES BY MAIL ACL PAYABLE IN ADVANCE ( ) New ( ) Renewal ( ) Check Enclosed NAME_ ADDRESS _ CITY_ STATE__ ZIP___ Entered as second class mail at the Post Office in Warrenton, Va.

Why can’t we manage better? This is something we must do with the confining budget ahead.” Assistant Superintendent Search Estabrook said that the search was underway to replace Jerry Lysik, who resigned in early June. He told the board that the procedure for hiring would be to take the best out of the 25 applications received, schedule each one for a half-day tour of the schools and interview with the administrative team in each, an hour with the central office staff, excluding himself, and two hours with him. From this, he said, he would select three finalists to be presented to the board. Estabrook said that he had devised an unusual application for the prospective assistant superintendents which would include, besides their resumes, writing I samples designed to identify their attitudes towards life and education. THE RAPPAHANNOCK LANDOWNERS ASSOCIATION held its first formal meeting last week, seeking contributions for legal fees and outlining twin goals of opposition to Potomac Edison’s appeal of a recent decision halting construction of a new high voltage line through Sperryville. At the table are Diana Bird, temporary chairman, and David Konick, the lawyer defending the Camerons, who brought the initial suit against PotEd. New Laws In Effect July 1 (Continued from Page 1) beer in bars will lose that right on Friday —until they turn 19. Under current law, persons have to be 19 to buy beer and carry it out for offpremises consumption. That provision will remain the same. The legislature raised the on-premises age to 19 after public hearings in which speakers urged raising the drinking age as a way of reducing alcohol-related traffic crashes. Rappahannock Tops State In The Ability To Tax (Continued from Page 1) that some state mandates “do cause difficulty for some localities,” and that the “principal complaint about mandates is lack of adequate state funding." The one area where state aid has not kept pace with the cost of local programs is in education funding, the report said. The report found that most local governments have been experiencing "fiscal stress,” which is measured by factors such as ability to raise revenue, the level of tax effort, and to what degree localities have had to reduce services or cut personnel to make ends meet. JLARC cited two recent national economic recessions, which caused increased unemployment and Purchase Approval Farmers and Merchants National Bank has received approval from the Comptroller of the Currency’s office to purchase the Winchester Branch of Bank of Virginia. Robert W. Lake, a Senior Vice President of F & M, will be in charge of this office when the transaction has been completed. It is anticipated this will occur within 60 days. Farmers and Merchants is the principal subsidiary of F & M National Corporation.

Everyone go to the parade and support the firemen. John Walker Jenkins Auctioneering Service Washington, Virginia 675-3325 or 987-8211 slow growth in tax revenue, as one reason for greater stress. file report also cited shrinking federal aid to localities as another reason for stress. Local governments got $80.3 million less from the federal government in 19X2. than in fiscal 1980, according to the report. In a survey sent to local governments, 58 percent of the respondents from cities and 40 percent from counties agreed that the financial condition of his or her local goverment “is much worse than it was six years ago.” Ninety-two percent of the respondents from cities and 73 percent from counties also agreed that it “is becoming increasingly difficult to find sufficient revenues to maintain existing service levels." Hut not all localities are in had shape, according to the JLARC report. Rappahannock County, for example, was rated number one among the 136 counties and cities as having the least fiscal stress, in terms of revenue capacity. (The report used figures from the 19.x 1-82 fiscal year.) “They (Rappahannock) have a very high capacity to raise revenues," said Bennett. But despite that capacity, he said, there has been a low tax effort in Rappahannock — meaning the county has the capacity to raise taxes but has chosen not to, he said. Thus, the report found, Rappahannock had the least fiscal stress in that particular category. Clarke County was ranked 33rd in revenue capacity, Fauquier 10th, Fairfax eighth, and Loudoun loth. Only Clarke was slightly over the average revenue capacity for localities statewide, according to the report. The report generally found that cities with stagnant tax bases, high poverty and lower income levels nave tne greatest fiscal stress. The counties and cities were grouped together in the JLARC report in “clusters," based on size, growth, income and poverty, revenue capacity, tax effort and budget actions needed to address fiscal conditions. Loudoun was grouped with urbanizing counties that are experiencing high growth but that have high per capita income, low poverty levels, high revenue capacity and growth, and a moderate to stable tax effort. Loudoun had the least stress in that category, when compared to seven other counties. Fauquier was grouped with 15 other suburbanizing counties, with high population growth, high income, low poverty, moderate revenue capacity and growth, and a low to stable tax effort. Fauquier was the least stressed county in the cluster, just lower than Hanover, Bedford and Spotsylvania counties. Clarke was placed with 11 high growth, high capacity rural counties that have moderate to high population growth, moderate income and moderate to high poverty, a high revenue capacity and a low but increasing effort at raising taxes. Rappahannock was included in the cluster of low growth, high capacity rural counties. They generally have low growth or even population losses, low income and moderate to high income levels, and high revenue capacities but low tax efforts. Faii-fax was not grouped because it did not fit in any of the cluster patterns, the report said. But Fairfax was ranked low in stress because of its high revenue capacity, high per capita income level, and relatively low poverty level. The report did not measure the fiscal stress on towns. The bill also requires persons under 19 who apply for a driver’s license to take an alcohol safety education program. And underage persons who illegally buy alcoholic beverages could lose their drivers licenses for up to one year, at a judge’s discretion. In the area of criminal law, the General Assembly approved legislation making it a class five felony for use or attempted use, in certain felonies, of so-called “armour piercing bullets” which can penetrate flak jackets often used by police and other law enforcement officers. Conviction of a class five felony could bring from one to 10 years in a state prison, or up to 12 months in jail and/or a maximum fine of $1,000. It will also be a class three felony to adulterate foods and beverages. That legislation came about in response to the deaths caused last year bv poisoned Extra Strength Tylenol capsules. Persons convicted of a class three felony could serve between five and 20 years in prison. Also, persons who desecrate church property with swastikas in an effort to intimidate could be guilty of a class six felony. A class six felony carries a penalty of from one to five years in prison, or up to 12 months in jail and or a maximum fine of $1,000. Changes in criminal law procedures taking effect Friday include: the submission of Victim Impact Statements to allow the court, before sentencing, to consider the impact of certain crimes on victims: and I-—- - the use of multi-jurisdictional grand juries for drug investigations. Motorists will find their fees going up. All motor vehicle registration fees will increase by $1, with onequarter of the money going to localities to help pay for emergency medical services and for EMS equipment. Persons who want to register to vote will have an easier time of it. Effective Friday, registrars will be able to go into contiguous counties and cities to register voters. The registrar will only be able to register persons from his or her locality, however. The bill was designed to help people who work in another county or city and have difficulty registering to vote in their home areas during working hours. No major tax increases came out of the 1983 legislative session, but there were a number of changes in tax law. One of those changes will affect taxpayers who want to appeal their real estate assessments. Effective Jan. 1, localities will have to establish local boards of equalization after general reassessments of real estate. A taxpayer unsatisfied with assessments given to his or her real estate by the local Commissioner of the Revenue will be able to appeal to the board of equalization. The Natural Death Act also will go into effect Friday. Approved after much debate, the act will allow terminally ill persons, or their designated surrogates, to direct physicians to turn off life-prolonging devices. 1 SNAPPER HI-VAC RIDER.THE ALL SNAPPERS Hi-Vac" rider with 6-bushel grass catcher makes short work of lawn chores.

Audit Bureau of Circulation Thursday, July 7,1983 To Our Great, Great Grandchildren Most oi us are concerned about our children’s future. Those of us with grandchildren worry about them as well. But it takes an event like the dedication of the time capsule on July 4 to get us thinking about generations far removed from us. When our great, great grandchildren open the capsule on July 4, 2083, how will that far - away day find them? Will they be affected by what appears now to be decreasing clean air and water, decreasing humanity, decreasing generosity of spirit, independence and resourcefulness? For the time capsule dedicated on this sesquicentennial Fourth of July, county school children submitted letters and materials to be read a century from now. From their efforts, it appears that adults are not the only ones worried about the future. Included in the time capsule, and read at the July 4th celebration at Avon Hall was a letter from Ophelia von Ludwig, a senior at Wakefield. After saying a little bit about herself, Ophelia went on to address the future generation of Rappahannock young people. In her touching letter, Ophelia wrote: “Dear Reader in the Year 2083, “Mine is a voice from the past, coming to you across the deep abyss of Time. Do you hear me? Can you understand? My voice will be for you perhaps a haunting voice, for the past always lies heavily on the present. You wonder about my times/ I live in an Age of Contradictions. These are (to paraphrase Dickens) the best of times and the worst of times. In spite of having all of the material means to make them happy, and the freedom to do about anything, most people, I suspect, are not happy. There is a malaise. What is it? Mftiy are we not happy? Perhaps it is be cause we are awash in a sea of materialism. And then we have worries and concerns: We are worried about nuclear war (If you’re reading this letter, it probably didn’t happen!), the spread of Communism, pollution, violent crime, the divorce rate, a strange new disease called AIDS, unemployment, and the quality of American education. There is also this terrible confusion about morality. “And what about your times? You might have solved the problems and contradictions of my times, but I would bet that you have a whole new set of problems to anguish over. Human nature being what it is, I am certain that you will not have achieved the perfect society. But what undreamed of technological marvels you will know! At this moment I am trying to imagine how you will prepare a meal in the year 2083, and I am wondering if school is ever cancelled in your times because of heavy snow. Perhaps you long for the past, just as some of our parents yearn for “the good old days”. Rest assured that the 1980’s are nothing for you to wax sentimental about. “In reflecting on life and time, I am certain, absolutely, of two things: The first is that the human race will survive. It will survive just as it has always survived because the human spirit is indomitable. Through wars, floods, plagues, earthquakes, whatever, the race has always emerged ready to continue the struggle. The second certainty is that in all of our struggles, we are guided by a loving and Divine Spirit, our Shepherd through time and space. We are not alone. “From the faraway past of 1983, I send you with sincerity my love and best wishes for a bright and proud future, and I wish you a happy and sparkling 4th of July. PIK May Affect Social Security Many farmers in the Rappahannock area are apparently confused as to how the lh<x;5 Payment-In-Kind (1' 1K) program relates to Social Security, Bruce A. Hundley. Social Security manager in Culpeper, re|M>rts. Under the PIK program, a farmer agrees to set aside part or all of his land previously used to produce a crop in exchange for receiving surplus federal commodities of the same crop at the usual harvest time. Commodities involved are wheat, corn, grain, sorghum, rice, and upland cotton. In general, payment ,- under the PIK program are treated the same as other federal agricultural program payments, Hundley said. They are included in the farmer's gross income. Since the PIK payments are in the form of certificates of ownership. they are not includable in gross income for UK! until they are converted to cash for purposes of federal income tax and Social Security self-employment tax. How the PIK payments affect receipt of Social Security benefits depends on when the farmer became entitled to those benefits. If the farmer started getting Social Security benefits before UK'!, PIK income can be excluded from gross income for purposes of the annual earnings test because it is income not attributable to significant services performed after the year in w iiich benefits began. In this case. PIK income would have no effect on he receipt of Social Security benefits. However, if the farmer starts getting Social Secu rity benefits in 1983, IMK income is included in the farmer's net earnings for purposes of the annual earnings test. But in this first year of retirement, a selfemployed person can receive a benefit for any month he or she does not perform substantial services in self-employment regardless of total income for the year. Generally, a farmer is not considered to be engaging in substantial services if he or she works 4.'> hours or less a month in the farming operation. More information about how income under the P1K program affects Social Security benefits can be obtained in the Culpeper Social Security office, located at SOU North Main Street, telephone 825-3500. Aid To Unemployed Gets Boost Rappahannock’s Department of Social Services has over $2,500 in recently allocated federal funds to provide services to Rappahannock’s unemployed. The allocations are part of the federal Emergency Jobs and Humanitarian Aid Bill and involve two separate programs: the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and Social Services to the Unemployed. According to director Sylvia Kreitler, the local welfare department has the option of contracting with a non-profit community organization to administer the programs. In order to qualify, the organization must be governed by a volunteer board, have an accounting system and be capable of providing emergency food or shelter. In addition, the organization would work with the welfare staff in setting up eligibility requirements to determine who would receive the services. Kreitler asked any interested group to contact her at 675-3326. “Our people in Rappahannock will benefit from it,” she said. “It’s just one way to increase the adequacy of the system to reach people who are unemployed and to help them in anyway we can until they find employment.” Of the $2,500 total, $937 for FEMA must be spent by the end of September for helping to provide emergency food and shelter for the unemployed. The more extensive Social Services to the Unemployed has a $1,607 budget. The money must be expended by July 1, 1984, and can be used for any emergency need, including food, clothing, utilities, child care, rent and employment search.' If no organization volunteers to handle the new, short-term programs, then they will be administered by the welfare department, using already established. stricter eligibility requirements. To qualify for services under the welfare department’s administration, clients must be receiving or have exhausted unemployment benefits or be unemployed and have filed federal income tax returns for 1982 as a sole proprietorship. “That means the applicant must own their own business,” Kreitler explained. In addition, clients must have less than $1,500 in cash or liquid assets and monthly household income that does not exceed $346 for one person, $452 for two, $559 for three, $665 for four, and so on, the welfare director said. "If someone is out of a job but not receiving unemployment, he or she wouldn’t be eligible for these new services,” Kreitler noted. "But in that case, they would be eligible — hopefully — for one of our other programs.” Our Rappahannock Heritage I otters To The Ldiior cKnilld nr n I*? certa1ngu.aelmes,ho.ev.be Al\ 'ffened letters, s^'u'a; writers requesting that thenforpubluatvon^ be a Letters - h Nq tetl( short as P°^ d but son -Uvbbee showed because ma' .-^.u.jtions.

Agreeable Feature To the editor: One of the very agreeable features of living in Rappahannock County is having to thank the many who contribute their time and talents, considerable quantities of each in fact, to county doings. This justended celebration of Independence Day was one of the most remarkable demonstrations of this outpouring that Sam and I have seen. Beginning with the very beautiful costume ball that was held at the Zuco’s Jessamine Hill Farm on Saturday evening, and ending with the display of fireworks which the Carrigans have generously supplied each “Fourth” for 22 years, Rappahannock achieved a gala weekend which no other community of comparable size could have surpassed. Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar missed recording a dazzlingly beautiful collection of gowns at the Costume Ball, which used the County’s Birthyear, 1833, as a theme. Such taste and variety made the task of the judges, Mrs. Paul Summers and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Bonsignore, to whom we want to repeat our thanks, far more difficult than we had ever contemplated. Then there were those who labored so long and so giftedly at Jessamine Hill Farm with Linda Waddell, the guiding and working genius: Louise Ashman, her seemingly tireless helper; Vann Dietel, creator of numerous lovely flower arrangements; and Grace Yocum, producer of dozens of luminarees. No similar crew could have equalled them. Other names of devoted workers deserving of sincere thanks come to mind: Margaret Gottlieb, who headed the supper committee and was helped by Barbara Berman, Carol Hale, Clarissa Leggett, Dorothy Mank, Lois Manookian, Edna Metzinger, Amy Monahan, Donna Parson, Grace Sims, Sylvia Yowell, and Alberta Zuco; Diane Welty for charming flowers; Dan Lewis and Sara Shorter for “trucking” chairs and tables and anything else needed such as running a terrific information - ticket bureau; Phil Irwin and the Prydes for kerosene torches and also from the Prydes, glasses; the stunningly gowned and coiffed members of the group, who, with their escorts performed dances on the grass of the 1833 period, under the coaching of Sidney and Margaret Gottlieb. To end what may be, perish forbid, as someone else has put it, an incomplete list of this effort for fun, for county and for RAAC, the handling of the invitations, from designs through production, to mailing, all this by Sandra Cartwright-Brown. A super achievement, all. Then on the “Fourth” more dancing by Sidney Gottlieb’s Country Dancers who performed under a pitiless sun, on a very hot street, at midday. To them go heartfelt thanks. We also enjoyed working with Dorothy Davis, producer of the reenactment of the early moments of Rappahannock’s life, now a fairly respectable span of 150 years, and the “cast”: Rayner Snead, the Eldreds, Newbill Miller, “Butch” Zindell, W. C. Carter and Annette Fletcher.' And the Washington House, of course, as the authentic scene of so much mentioned in the reenactment, is due a reverent bow. WALDRON O’CONNOR P. S. It deserves a postscript, the sparkling prop loaned by Col. and Mrs. William Kasper, the carriage which Moody Aylor kindly transported and the drove with his docile steed. It was a delightful vintage piece. Voices of Rappahannock To the editor: Voices of Rappahannock is a new project, sponsored by RAAC, that we hope will inspire and entertain all the county’s residents. The results of our investigation into Rappahannock’s 150 years as a county will be an historical drama presented at the Gay Street Theatre in October. There will be many steps leading up to this event, however, and all are invited to share in our collective endeavor. The purpose of the project is to bring the community’s history to life, so that we may all benefit from Rappahannock’s rich and varied heritage. Aubrey Keyser, a respected lifelong resident of the county has said, “In my lifetime, I’ve seen transportation change from ten miles per hour to faster than light.” How has the quality of life changed as Rappahannock moved from agrarian to industrial to technological culture in the past 150 years? This and other questions will be considered in our historical research using documents and oral recollections. The project will begin with an oral history workshop conducted by a professor of folklore from the University of Virginia at the Gay Street Theatre RAAC office on Thursday, July 14 from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. All are invited to attend free of charge this and other workshops and lectures that will be sponsored by RAAC and the Voices of Rappahannock staff, keep posted through your Rappahannock News. For more information call Catherine Kiley at the RAAC office from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon, Tuesday through Friday, or call Laurie Marshall at 5473405. CATHERINE KILEY Co-Director Voices of Rappahannock —From Both Barrels Pavlovian Politicking By GEORGE BOWLES Sometime after the turn of the century, Russian scientist Ivan Pavlov made an important discovery about animal behavior in general and, by inference, about the behavior of humans. Pavlov found that if he dinged a bell and fed a dog at the same time, the dog would soon learn to associate the sound of the bell with the expectation of food. After the process had been repeated a number of times, the dinging of the bell would cause the dog to salavate even though no food was offered. Pavlov called the reaction “conditioned response.” It means the subject - a dog or a person - can be conditioned to react in a desired way to a triggering signal. No group appears to have profited more from Pavlov’s discovery than conservative political fundraisers. They find a variant of the experiment works well in mass-mailing appeals for money. The fund-raisers have learned that the word “liberal” can have the same impact on conservatives who receive their letters that the dinging of the bell had on the dog. By using the word enougn Limes in ineir appeals, the fund-raisers can safely predict that a substantial number of those on their mailing lists will, in a figurative sense, wag their tails and drop large checks in the return envelopes provided for that purpose. As if to confirm Pavlov’s findings, those on essentially the same mailing lists respond in essentially uie same way to essentially me same letter content year after year. As long as “liberal” is repeated often enough, it works like a charm. The conservatives can’t help themselves, of course. They’ve been conditioned. So it was earlier this month when Sen. John Warner sent out a mass-massing designed to pull in early cash for his expected 1984 re-election bid. In truth, the letter was a bit ham-handed and not quite as slick as some of the genre. For example, it started with “Dear Friend” rather than the computerized comraderie of “Dear Bill” or “Dear Joe,” a touch which the state of the art now makes possible. But in most other respects the Warner pitch was right out of the ring-wing manual for bringing in the bucks. It was designed to scare the wits out of the true believers. “It’s no secret,” wrote Warner, “that these same (liberal) special interests (ding!) are working to elect a liberal (ding!) U.S. Senator from Virginia next year.” And who are those who threaten this liberal terror? “There’s no shortage of potential candidates,” continued Warner. “Gov. Robb, congressmen Rick Boucher and Norman Sisisky, lobbyist William Thomas and state Sen. L. Douglas Wilder (ding!ding!ding!) have all been mentioned as possible Democratic candidates. Whoever is selected, he will be far more liberal (ding!) than the great majority of Virginians.” It is an interesting list. Robb and Sisisky have said repeatedly that they are not candidates. Boucher must have been mildly surprised to see his name included. If Wilder harbors senatorial ambitions, he is keeping remarkably quiet about it. Indeed, Thomas is probably the only live candidate among them, and it is arguable that he is even more conservative than Warner. Ironically, since computers are non-partisan and really sort of dumb, Thomas was one of the recipients of Warner’s letter. In a spritely response, Thomas asked Warner who, in heaven’s name, these liberal special interest groups might be who are so feverishly pushing his candidacy. Warner closed his appeal with a handwritten post-script. “I expect a strong challenge in ’84,” he added. “Your support now will help prepare me for a strong race.” His cry of alarm will have the desired effect, of course. The letter will ding the bell, the faithful will i yet again figuratively salavate, and the checks will be in the mail. And the Democrats will continue their search - now a mite desperate - for a candidate to match the threat, if not necessarily the philosophy, described in the Warner letter. Thanks For Old Cars To the editor: On behalf of the Washington Volunteer Fire Department, I wanted to thank everyone in the County who helped with the fourth annual Old Car Show on the Fourth of July. This year we had more cars than ever before, including a 1910 Overland Touring, a 1902 International, a 1920 Ford Huckster, and a 1926 Buick Touring, all of which came from White Post Restorations near Double Toll Gate. For those of you who are interested in old cars, stop by at White Post and Billy Thompson will take you on a tour. Thanks also to Jon B. Morgan, who displayed three Thunderbirds and a 1941 Buick Convertible Sedan (originally a local Rappahannock car), Leon Hutcheson (two Thunderbirds), Bob Lane and Grace Sims (1953 MGTD’s), Kermit Weakley (1950 Dodge), Vincent DeLouise (1964 Valiant), Kirk Davis (1949 International) and everyone else who helped make the show a big success, especially Jon Morgan’s mechanic, “Junior” Baldwin, and the Chrysler Product Owners Club which turned out four cars: a 1956 Chrysler, a 1950 Imperial, a 1937 Airflow Chrysler, and a 1936 Airflow Chrysler. Thanks again! DAVID L. KONICK Heart Association To Meet All are invited to attend a meeting July 13 at 7:30 at the Episcopal Parish Hall to establish the organization of the Rappahannock chapter of the American Heart Association. Virginia Cloud, temporary chairman of the county unit, said that the second local meeting would focus on the election of officers. A nominating committee of Marie Davis, Mary Curtis, Janet Yancy and Lillian Aylor will present a slate of officers for election to head this new county group. A oyiaws committee, formed at the first meeting, consists of Ann Wilkinson, Steve Scoggin and Kenneth Pullen. Cloud said that, while Rappahannock was previously included in a larger American Heart Association, unit, formation of the county’s own unit will result in community benefits for local lifesaving efforts. She urged anyone interested in serving in this important organization to attend next Wednesday’s meeting.

Barbara Gentry Sees How Government Works By BARBARA GENTRY Kappahannock News Special Writer When my appointment as senior intern was first announced, peopled asked, "What does that mean?" I couldn’t tell them very much, but after one week of lessons on how the government operates, 1 found that there is much more than meets the eye in the newspapers and on TV. 1 didn’t learn everything there is to know about government, but I absorbed as much as I could in the short time. The intern program is sponsored by a group of congressmen, headed by Senator William V. Roth, Jr., of Delaware and Congressman Tony Coelho of California. Their office assistants, Gayle DiMondi and Heidi Hicks, were in charge of the sessions and tried to keep everyone in line, seeing that meetings did not last too long, that speakers were on time and projectors were operating (they never were). These two had a big job and they did it well. The whole week was spent in learning about government programs that would benefit the aging. We learned of our opportunities, rights and privileges. One thing that was often repeated was “write to your congressman.” or “call him on the phone,” or “visit his representative when he comes into your area.” He is interested in the opinions, needs and desires of his constituents, we were told again and again. There wre interns present from all 50 of the states, including Hawaii and Alaska, as well as Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands. The men from Samoa wore black velvet wrap skirts instead of trousers, with necklaces that looked at first like red peppers. but were probably some kind of seed pod. (I wish I had asked about them.) The lady from Hawaii dressed in colorful muumuus every day, fresh flowers in a wreath around her head, while her husband wore flowered shirts. They played the ukelele and sang native songs in the evening. Interns for 37 of the 100 senators and for 117 of the 435 representatives attended the session. Every congressman has the privilege of sending an intern but all do not take advantage of this for various reasons. All expenses were paid and we were told that it is a hardship for some congressmen, as the money comes from their office budget for hiring clerks, and some had depleted that fund for the year. Several congressmen spoke to us on subjects related to the committee they represented. There were speakers from the Environmental Protective Agency who informed us of their efforts on behalf of clean air, clean water and assistance in compliance with the laws in small businesses. Miss Jo Ann Ross from the Office of Family Assistance spoke about aid to dependent children, low income energy assistance and what could be expected for the aging from this agency. We were told how a bill was passed or a law was made. The chairman of a committee is the key and he decides whether a bill will be reviewed or tabled. His is a very responsible position. The committees are the backbone of the government. We learned that their work is more important than what goes on in the Senate or House chambers. There were sessions on making up a budget. It seemed to boil down to what can be done with the 20 percent left after defense and entitlements were taken care of. Republicans were said to want money for defense while democrats wanted money for entitle merits (welfare. Social Security, Medicare, etc.) The government is already committed to these needs. Of course this is a simple explanation of a very complex and extensive problem. No one wants to raise taxes. Housing for the elderly was discussed thoroughly and representatives from different agencies gave their views. The AARP group spoke on reverse mortgages where a person who owns his own home may borrow on it or sell it, but live in it with income from it until his death. Safety in the home for the elderly was another subject covered carefully and there was much debate on long term health care, hospitalization, Medicare, Social Security, and prevention of crime against the aging. There was a review of agencies working for the well being and health of seniors. One of the most dynamic speakers was Mr. Carson Conrad, executive director of the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. A retired Marine, he said you didn’t need to be a Marine to keep fit. He observed that some people never age. He said it is because they keep alert, keep interested in life and in others and keep FUNNIER LIVESTOCK ESCBBNSE INCORPORATED G^ded Yearling Sale Heifers and Steers July 21, 1983, 7:00p.m. Sponsored by Marshall Feeder Cattle Association at Fauquier Livestock Exchange Rt. 55, Marshall, Va. Consignments Welcome Call Mrs. Rucker 364-1566 cReal cEstate Eileen M. Day realtor WHAT’S A RESIDENCE? Sounds like an easy enough question, doesn’t it? An eskimo would point to his igloo. A hermit would gesture toward his cave. A suburbanite would look at his bi-level. A citydweller might look up at the 20th floor of a highrise apartment. All of these people are correct, since they live at those places. A city zoning ordinance that states that “residences only shall be put up in a certain area of land” could conceivably include any or all types of “residences”. It is for this reason that most ordinances are quite specific with regard to the types of residences that can be built. Regarding this matter, people sometimes ask if they are allowed to take in boarders, wondering if this would be a violation of “Residence only” restrictions. If the owner lives there himself, he can normally do this, UNLESS the restriction states that only one private family can occupy the building. However, if he turns the whole place into an apartment building or rooming house, he violates the restrictions because it is no longer his residence. It is a business.

Sperryville (Continued from Page 1) assurance from Mitchell and others in the audience that the designation would serve to enhance property values and increase tourism to the area. In the document released earlier this month with the official designation, the Commission said, “Sperryville Historic District, Rappahannock County, survives as an upper Piedmont crossroads town that has been virtually unchanged since the 1920’s. Originally laid out by Francis Thornton, Jr., in ca. 1818 - 20 on a small plain between the Thornton River and the hills of the northern Blue Ridge, the village grew slowly until 1867 when the Smoot familv of Alexandria established a tannery on the Thornton River, thereby rapidly increasing the town’s population and resulting in construction of many of the simple wooden residences that today give Sperryville visual charm and architectu ral identity. “Today a familiar landmark and stopover for motorists making seasonal excursions to the upper Blue Ridge, the historic district may be counted among the very few such villages remaining in the Commonwealth.” The register is the state’s official list of historic properties worthy of preservation, and includes more than one thousand buildings, structures, sites and districts prominently associated with Virginia history and culture from prehistoric times to the present. In addition to Sperryville, the register added nineteen landmarks to its register this year: four other historic districts, several institutional buildings and complexes, two early industrial structures, an archaeological site, several downtown commercial buildings, a rare brick barn, and a number of historic houses, representing every major region of Virginia. Volunteers Are Special To Community Volunteer needs and desires are paramount to Carolyn Szabad who is the Coordinator of Volunteer Services for the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Center. When a potential volunteer enters the Coordinators’ office, they are asked, “WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO”. The search then begins to find a suitable placement. If none exists, the coordinator contacts good prospective stations, which number over eighty-four possible community organizations, to find a placement that will offer enjoyment and satisfaction to the volunteer. Job descriptions are developed so both the station staff and the volunteer know what is expected of them. Presently there are requests for regular and occasional volunteer positions. Requests for volunteers include office, library, and tutoring support, individuals who enjoy working with crafts, persons who will work directly with individuals needing temporary and long range assistance. Leaders are needed to assist as well as direct activities and to support many community programs. Come in to the volunteers’ office in your county to learn more. Call Carolyn Szabad at 675-3329.

We had lots of time during the coffee doughnut break to chat with interesting folk from far off places. 1 met a good friend of my cousin’s in Arizona, and made several good friends for myself. All this besides visits each day to the office of Mr. Robinson w here I had a chance to ask him questions and enjoyed several friendly conversations. His office staff were most helpful too, and I learned much from them. there were receptions by the American Care Association and the Republican National Committee with a wealth of exotic foods and lots of good talk. The Democratic National Committee was host fora picnic lunch in the Cannon Office building’s handsome caucus room. The speaker at this event was the veteran Senator Claude Pepper of Florida, a bM-year old and a long time friend of the elderly. He talked lor about 30 minutes with no notes and with great enthusiasm. He was an inspiration to everyone. His theme was lower costs for Medicare, lower hospital rates, more Social Security and a good life for everyone. Some one was heard to say, "He is a fine gentleman, but he wants to give the store away." Rut he is fun to listen to anyway! I had an appointment to visit Mr. Robinson's office to have my picture taken with “The real question is not what government is going to do for us hut what are we going to do for others. ” him and so missed the talk on the AARP Talent Rank. There was a sightseeing day with an early morning tour of the White House. We went to the basement area of the Museum of Natural History and saw the artifacts a friend from Fairbanks. Alaska. hail brought for the Children’s Discovery room, including walrus teeth ivory, bone and even a few walrus w hiskers. We also saw the exhibits of mineral rocks in gorgeous colors, exotic sea shells and corals. We visited the new part of the museum w ith its modern art, the Madison building, a new addition of the Congressional Library and the Botanic Gardens, full of blooming orchids of every size and color. There wasn’t time to see everything, or to learn everything, but I difl get many new ideas and found sources of information that 1 or others may need in the future. I’d like to pass some of my Washington impressions on to others: —politics is the art of compromise, —fight for what you believe, —there is a shortage of people trained to work in geriatrics, a w ide open career field, —share, —keep active, —contact your congressman often, become his friend, —seniors have much to offer in volunteer and helping situations. The real question is not what government is going to do for us but what are we going to do for others. Barbara Gentry and Congressman Robinson NOTICE! NOTICE! NOTICE!

Castle ton By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock News Correspondent 937-4031 Not everyone can sit back and watch the entire nation set off fireworks to celebrate her birthday, but that is what Judy Hitt (born on the 4th of July) does every year. We promised not to publish her age, though. Attending Monday’s birthday/Independence Day cookout at the home of Mitch, Judy, Kerrie, and TYacy Hitt were Alan and Kathy Knighting and their daughter Brandy (now 15 months old), Shirley Frye Hitt, Donna Gail Hitt, Chucky and Bruce Frye, Randy Hitt, Barbara Martin (who bakes a tremendous chocolate eclair cake), Beverly and Kenny Settle and their one-month-old son Kenneth Settle, Jr. who was born in Charlottesville in late May. Grandma Shirley explains that while he is only one month old, he has lived through parts of three months now (May-July) and has attended his first noteworthy social event. Also attending were Irene S. Cohen, of New York City, and newly appointed Rappahannock News Correspondent Michele May, of Amissville. The two met at the 1979 Cape Cod Writers’ Conference. Miss Cohen spent the weekend in Rappahannock, visiting the Luray Caverns, Monticello, and the Smithsonian Institution. Still, she called the fireworks at the fir Hitt home the bright spot of the trip. She returned to Manhattan on Tuesday. Kerrie Hitt was to fly from National Airport Tuesday to Miami, Fla., to visit family. Alan and Kathy Knighting had returned from a holiday at Colonial Beach to attend the party. Included in the activities was a horseshoe pitching tournament in which Mitch Hitt and Kenny Settle emerged clear champions. They plan to challenge other neighbors at a later date. In other news, Bethanie Powell is visiting her grandparents, Ray and Ruby Cannon. And Donna Cannon plans to return from college in Colorado on the 15th to visit her parents.

Bells Ring Again At Luray’s Tower Luray’s carillon of 47 bells are ringing again as evening concerts resumed this month. Recitals by Ch Chapman will be given for a 45 minute period every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, beginning at 8 p.m., from June 2 to September 15. Carillonneur Chapman is widely recognized as one of the master of practicioners of the art. The president of the Washington Composers Club said of him: “Charles T. Chapman plays with a variety of shading which is truly astonishing. The reason for his excellence is his allaround musical ability combined with a great artistic sensitiveness in respect to musical values. To him his bells are not merely masses of metal to be struck at, but musical entities from which are to be coaxed all the beautiful and varied sonorities requisite to the expression of human emotion through sound.” John Powell, Virginia’s foremost pianist and composer, noted that “the huge and clumsy mechanism of the carillon and the inevitably percussive quality of its tone would seem to preclude the possibility of expressing through it sensitive or profound musicianship. Nevertheless. Charles Chapman achieves this seeming impossibility. . . Under the magic of his hands, the mammoth machine becomes flexible and subtly sensitive, it sings with the legato and cantabile of a violin, and with phrasing as delicate or poignant as that of the human voice, with rhythm as deftly characterized as that of a master pianist. In recognition of his artistry, over 100 carillon compositions by 20 some American and foreign composers have been written especially for Mr. Chapman to perform from Luray’s tower. The Luray carillon consists of 47 bells. The largest weights 7,040 pounds and has a six foot diameter; the smallest weighs 12'/pounds. Luray’s bells were produced at the Taylor bellfoundrv in England which was established in 1:500. Officially known as the Belle Brown Northcott Memorial, the bells were dedicated in 19:57. The music of the bells is best heard at 200 to 200 yards from the tower at Lu ray Caverns. The public is invited to attend the free recitals. Ample parking is provided without charge.

Flint Hill Flea Market: We Want It To Be Fun “Oh, look at that, ... I just have to have it,” said Grace Butler of Warrenton, grapping the little one-eyed stuffed donkey off the table. “I’m going to take him home and give him an eye.” Butler is one of the hundreds of people who have visited the Flint Hill Flea Market since its opening two weeks ago. The flea market is the project of Bruce and Vi Vierling, who own the old packing house that serves as its home. “We’d thought about this for a long time,” said Bruce. “When this space became vacant, we decided to do it.” By that time, Bruce said, Peggy and Arthur Smith had opened the Sperrvville Antique Flea Market and the couple didn’t want to compete with them. “After we went to see them, we realized they were doing something different,” he said. “We had more of a yard sale operation in mind. They have mostly antiques. They encouraged us to get going. And we did!” The Vierlings have fixed up the warehouse, which also rents space to Aunt Jane Sewing, (operated by Vi) Lakewood Stoves, and Red Hawk Harness, constructing tables, putting in a snack bar, providing ample parking for the more than 300 cars that stopped by the first weekend of business. Above the loading dock Bruce has just hung a two decker sign by Linda Heimstra announcing the new business. “This is a great place for a business like this,” Bruce said. “People can come, unload and stay set up all weekend.” The Vierlings are hoping to increase the number of dealers, but want to have mostly yard sale merchandise. “Some people are so isolated,” he said. “They have a much better chance of selling unwanted items here.” Besides the yard sale items, Bruce would like to see maybe one tool seller and one ceramics vendor. “I don’t want to compete with any local businesses,” he said. “I want to be very certain of that." He added that he would accept farmers wanting to sell produce or to display farm machinery for sale.

Reynolds AT THE NEW FLINT HILL FLEA MARKET Bruce Vierling waits on a customer. Business has been brisk at the market in the old packing house and the Vierlings welcome dealers to join them for their weekend sales. Browers can wander through the room warehouse, drop off a pair of pants for mending at Aunt Jane’s, nibble on a hot dog, and fine some real bargains in dishes, clothing and toys. “And it’s for everybody’s good,” Bruce said. “They may buy a knick-knack here, fill up with gas at Settle’s, have lunch at the Corner Post. If they’re looking for antique furniture or crafts. I’ll mention the Sperryville Flea Market or send them up the street to the Marigold Thrift Shop.” “The great thing is the different people to meeft and talk to,” Bruce added. VEC Moves Effective July 5th, the Virginia Employment Commission will be located at 110 W. Cameron Street in Culpeper. Office hours will be from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday-Friday, except for State Holidays. Telephone numbers will remain as listed in local directories. “We’re going to try to hold auctions here, to provide music and other events sometimes. Linda’s sign shows exactly what we want the spirit of the place to be,” he said, looking up at the bright, circus-style sign. “We want it to be fun.” t ROBERT METCALFE GENERAL CONTRACTOR New Homes Cabins • Additions Remodeling Commercial as well As Residential Box 147 Flint Hill, Va. 703-675-3897 Va.
