Vl RGIN1A Phone 673-3349 25' Izaak Walton League Joins PotEd Power Line Fight By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer A new challenger has joined the fight against Potomac Edison power company’s plans to upgrade its existing 34.5 kilovolt line to 172 kilovolts from Luray to Sperryville and apparently on to Front ..Royal and Gordonsville. At its national board meeting held recently in Harrisonburg, the Izaac Walton League agreed to enter the ring, inviting the Rappahannock Homeowners Association, the citizens’ group organized to oppose the utility’s project, to become a committee of the League. “They will take this on as an environmental issue. If the line goes on, it will create environmental pollution. And it will have a detrimental affect on property values,” reported Diana Bird, chairman of the Homeowners’ Association. “It would make sense if we be came a committtee of the Rappahannock chapter of the Izaac Walton League. We wouldn’t have to incorporate She explained that donations to defray the legal costs incurred fighting PotEd would be tax deductible since the League is a non-profit entity. According to Bird, the committee would retain control of all money contributed to its cause. Round one in the fight against the utility went to landowners Bill and Susan Cameron after Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson ruled that PotEd couldn’t rebuild its existing 34.5 kv line relying on an old 1928 easement agreement. In order for the utility to upgrade the line to 174 kvs with more and taller poles and additional wires strung one on top of the other, the power company must give landowners additional compensation , Robertson ruled, directing Pot Ed to either restore the Cameron’s property to its condition prior to construction of the new line or institute condemnation proceedings. The outcome of round two is still in question: PotEd has lodged an appeal of Judge Robertson’s decision with Virginia’s Supreme Court and simultaneously begun condemnation. According to Bird, the Izaac Walton League believes that the power company does not have an inherent right to pursue the plan they’ve outlined without going through condemnation. In addition, she told the audience of property owners at Tuesday’s meeting in the courthouse, the League hopes to persuade the State Corporation Commission to determine if the project is justified on the basis of need for the increased (Continued on Page 2) THE RENOVATION of Rappahannock’s old 24-hour lock-up to a jail that meets State Department of Corrections standards is proceeding on schedule, according to architect Hunter Spencer. He estimates that construction will be completed in two months. As Prime Contractor Baughn Has Lock On Bids For Additions To Jail Work By DAPHNE HUTC HINSON Rappahannock New. Staff Writer Architect Hunter Spencer assured the Rappahannock supervisors that any additions to the jail renovation project — as long as it’s related to the jail — will qualify for 50 percent reimbursement on costs from the state, up to a total of $81,500. However, that assurance comes with a big “but” that could work to the benefit of the contractor. Only the successful low bidder on the renovation contract, Baughn Construction of Luray, may take on the project additions and this time around, no bidding is required, according to Spencer. There was a question raised at last month’s board meeting over whether extra items added to the contract already approved by the State Department of Cor rections are eligible for the same 50 percent reimbursement. “The figure turned in to Richmond as your reimbursable cost is $81,500,” Spencer told the supervisors on Monday. “We may use that in any way we see fit as long as it relates to the jail,” he said. But all extra items must be included in the general construction contract with Baughm; additional projects cannot be bid on and contracted for separately, Spencer added, presenting the supervisors with a proposal from Baughn for paving the exercise yard, parking lot and a walkway to the building for $12,661. “The parking lot is the jail parking lot,” he noted. According to the architect, the exercise area to be paved measures 22 by 30 feet. “It’s not a very large area, compared to the park ing lot. The majority of the coat cornea from tjhe parking lot,” he aaid. However, Spencer did not have a figure on Monday for the total square footage to he black topped. “It aeema to me like right much money," reaponded Superviaor H.B. Wood, asking if Baughn had taken bids on the paving job. No Choice “He’s the only one who can bid (on additions to the work called for in the original contract). He’s the prime contractor. He has a lock on it,” said Supervisor Charles Estes. “If we don’t deal with this man, we don’t get reimbursed. It’s beyond our control.” Wood repeated his request for bids from other contractors. "I don’t know (Continued on Page 2) =Amissville Kid Makes Good= i6I Have Nine Favorites ’ Says Man Who Worked For Nine Presidents From. Franklin Delano Roosevelt To Ronald Reagan By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock News Staff Writer “I had no idea you all would be so interested in me; I haven’t done anything so great.” So said Amissville native John Ficklin as he held forth Monday from his makeshift press office in room C-6213, Georgetown University Hospital. While undergoing a series of medical tests, Ficklin seemed mildly amused by the hub-bub around him as his telephone rang with requests from broadcasters all over the world wanting him to appear on talk-shows. (“They wanted me for half an hour. I told them I only knew enough to talk for five min utes. ) He is also the hottest property” right now in publishing circles. He says too many writers want to help him produce his memoirs. The contenders include some of the stars of the best-sellers lists, but he will wait until he gets out of the hospital before choosing his collaborator. The reason for this furious uproar is Ficklin’s recent retirement. On July 19, Ficklin was an honored guest at a White House dinner. The seating arrangement was new, but the scenery in the State Dining Room was familiar. And was Ficklin nervous to be sitting there beneath the John Ficklin pensive portrait of Abraham Lincoln? Yes. Because there’s a lot of difference between serving and being served. For until May 28. Students Face August 24 Immunization Deadline On July 1, a new state law took effect. School students now must have near perfect documentation that they have completed their immunizations or face not being permitted to attend school. Rappahannock County Public School Officials have doublechecked health records and notified students’ parents if deficiencies exist. R.C.E.S. Principal Maggie Piper sent letters out to several students in May. In mid-July R.C.H.S. Principal Bob Chappell sent out let ters on 76 high school students who need to either get more shots or provide better records of existing shots. What’s Required Health records of Rappahannock students enrolled (attending) before July 1, 1983, must show the following have been administered; —three DPT shots —three Oral Polio or 4 Polio shots —one Rebeola (Red Measles) shot administered on or after one year of age (Dates: month & year) —One Rubella (German Measles) shot administered on or after one year of age (Dates: month & year) Acceptable proof is the signature of a doctor or nurse or receipt of other valid records such as baby immunization records. Students enrolled for attendance beginning after Ji^ly 1, 1983, must face even more stringent requirements which are being given to parents at registration time. Rappahannock Division (Continued on Page 5) supervisors Stamp “Handle With Care” On Subdivision Request “I don’t want you to think we’re giving you the run around, Mr. Foster, but neither do I want to set a dangerous precedent...We have to handle this with reasonable care,” Supervisor Charles Estes told Mr. and Mrs. Howard Foster as the board referred their request for an exception to the zoning ordinance back to the planning commission. “You’re our last hope for a building permit,” Mrs. Foster began, explaining that her husband was originally from Rappahannock and wants to return to the county. Zoning administrator David Konick explained that Foster’s 6.8 acre lot near Flint Hill is one of seven cut from the larger quarry tract, “one by one in piecemeal fashion.” He noted that the ordinance requires a rezoning to residential subdivision if more than five lots are carved from a parcel of land. “That’s never been done.” In addition, he said, Foster’s lot has “no road frontage at all.” Initially, the lot was to be served by a 20-foot right-of-way to Route 647. Now, said Koniek, that right-of-way has been increased to 50 feet. Under the terms of the zoning and subdivision ordinances, Foster must bring that 50-foot right-of-way up to state road standards before his subdivision can be approved. “But even if he does that, there’s a problem with the Highway Department taking the road into the state system (for maintenance) since it serves only one lot,” the zoning administrator said. “If we have to, we’ll improve the road,” Foster assured the supervisors. “If they open up that quarry again, you’re going to have trucks going back and forth on your road that you built with your money,” Estes cautioned. “We’re just hoping they never get booming again,” replied Foster. “There’s not much gravel left in there.” Estes pointed out that the operators of the almost deserted quarry have retained their rights to that particular land use by selling gravel two or three times per year. “Also that property’s zoned industrial,” Konick said, adding that he believed even the 6.8 acres fell in that zoning category. “Though with the maps, it’s hard to tell,” he acknowledged. (A later check showed the Fosters’ property as zoned agricultural). Subdivision of Foster’s lot from the rest of the quarry property will leave a balance of nine to eleven acres, Konick continued. Other lots carved from the tract were all created after the county’s zoning and subdivision ordinances took effect, he said, adding that regulations will not change in the revised ordinances expected to be sent to the supervisors this fall for adoption. At the board’s request, Konick returned from the (Continued on Cage 4) Ficklin was White House maitre d’hotel, the culmination of a career that spanned modern history at the executive mansion. Others may have served more years, he says, but few have served so many. That’s because the likes of J.B. West (Upstairs at the White -House) and Lillian Rogers Parks (Backstairs at the White House) were devoted to Roosevelt for a dozen years. But Ficklin’s tenure included nine different presidencies, most of them brief, but momentous. He saw the assassination of Kennedy, the resignation of Nixon, the “time of healing” under Ford who was never elected to any office higher than Michigan Fifth District Congressman. He saw Carter serve one term, Truman and Johnson each serve one term of his own after filling out the remainder of another man’s. He saw some of the Roosevelt years, the early Reagan years, and the entire eight Eisenhower years. Nine Favorites When asked which was his favorite, Ficklin says with exquisite diplomacy, “I have nine favorites. ” While he formed fond friendships for all the presidents he served, Ficklin never had time for farewells. As soon as one man moved out, the White House staff was preparing to wel Fundraiser Underway The annual Flint Hill Firemen’s Carnival which opened last night continues through Saturday night. Newly crowned Miss Virginia Lisa Aliff from Roanoke will appear in Thursday’s grand parade set to start at 6:30.

Wearisome Weather Worries Farmers Sperryville weather watcher Dennis Wingfield says Monday’s thunderstorm only deposited .010 inch of precipation in this area. Wingfield says Channel four meterologists called him Monday evening because their radar showed changes in Rappahannock pressure areas, but Wingfield had to report that there was only a slight sprinkle in Sperryville. The storm moved mostly to the south of us, he says. Yet so far, Wingfield says, the “sophisticated equipment people — the weather experts” are calling the current, prolonged dry spell a “near-drought classification.” “I don’t know when they drop the (Continued on Page 2) Carrigan And WVFD Join To Save Town’s Gardens “The water is here to take care of all the gardens in town — and our lawns — but I don’t have the means to deliver it,” William Carrigan told the Rappahannock News this weekend, offering water from the lake at Avon Hall to Washington residents who can haul it. Carrigan volunteered his water after he saw what the prolonged dry spell has done to the lawns, trees, shrubs and gardens in town. “They’re burning up from solar fire,” he noted. “A lot of lawns are already lost. Trees and shrubs have suffered but they won’t begin to show the damage they’ve sustained ' for about a month.” Carrigan sunk a pump into his lake this weekend and has solicited assistance from the Washington Volunteer Fire Department in delivering water to town gardens. Chief Roger Roach confirmed that the firemen will deliver water in the company’s tanker truck to residents of Washington for their gardens. To arrange delivery, call Roach at 9878101 after 7:30 p.m. The volunteer firemen are asking for a donation from waterhungry gardeners to offset the cost of gas needed to operate the tanker truck. come the next. At the moment the president was taking the oath of office at the Capitol Building, the maitre d’ was taking a last minute look at the crystal and silver in the state rooms. “You must have the reception ready as soon as they leave the reviewing stand,” he says. Shortly before inauguration, the outgoing president traditionally introduces the staff to the president-elect. But each new president was usually an old face to Ficklin for most future presidents are frequently invited to dinner at the White House. Thus, Ficklin had met his new bosses in their previous capacities as senators, trov ernors, or congressmen. He says he always respected each man chosen to be President of the United States. If he hadn’t, he says, he simply would have asked for a transfer. In fact, he added, it was within a president’s prerogative to fire everyone and form his own staff, but the outgoing official usually gave a little complimentary sales pitch for each and a special recommendation for Ficklin’s continued service. While he was always glad to be retained under the new regime, he remembers one maid who wasn’t so lucky. The woman began to inventory the linens for Jacqueline Kennedy, taking no pains to refrain from point ing out Mamie Eisenhower’s favorite pink frills. Finally, Mrs. Kennedy could no longer tolerate it and the woman was dismissed. “I would simply suggest things,’’ Ficklin says. With this typical tact, discussions became a matter of china patterns rather than mentioning those he missed. Kennedy Stories If Ficklin won’t admit to a favorite, his stories seem to linger a little longer around the Kennedys. During her restoration of the White House, Jacqueline Kennedy unearthed treasured pieces of china that belonged to the early presitContinued on Page 2) Board Asked For Lower Limit On Most Dangerous Road Representing all the landowners between Ben Venue and Flint Hill, John Ralph petitioned the Rappahannock supervisors on Monday to lower the speed limit on the five mile section of Route 729 from 55 to 35 miles per hour. “We have a very serious situation. It’s a narrow, winding road. Traffic has gotten increasingly heavier and considerably faster. . . We’ve had some very, very near misses,” said Ralph, adding that he has been forced off the road twice by vehicles coming at him in his lane. “We’re asking the supervisors fo consider lowering the speed limit to make the road safer for people. . . and cattle.” He noted that 15 people, 100 percent of the landowners along the road, had enthusiastically signed the petition for a 25 mph speed limit. According to Ralph, resident engineer Don Askew confirmed that Route 729 between Ben Venue and Flint Hill is “probably the most dangerous road in the county.” He said Askew didn’t think a center strijie could be painted down the center of the road but had agreed to consider lowering,, the speed limit and erecting signs warning of obstructed vision and sharp curves. The current speed limit is 55 mph. “Nobody can possible drive it that fast but many of them try,” Ralph said, warning that a fatality will occur if something isn’t done. A lower limit will give local police a framework for controlling speeders, he added. Ralph noted that the petition submitted to the supervisors calls for the speed to be set at 25 mph but agreed the figure was probably low. On the basis of test drives he has conducted, Ralph suggested 35 mph. “I think your endorsement will help get the Highway Department to act,” he told the board. In a unanimous vote, the supervisors requested the Highway Department to conduct a traffic safety study on Route 729. Judge Requests Central Air “Has it gotten warm enough in here to talk over the air conditioner?” joked chairman J.R. Latham, ironically just as the board took up a request from senior Circuit Court Judge Carlton Penn that something be done about the noisy window units in the upstairs courtroom. Generally, during summer months, the two window air conditioners on either side of the courtroom are turned off when supervisor meetings begin. The control knobs go round and round during judicial proceedings; last summer, during a long and hot civil trial, the units went on for every bench conference and off during testimony and arguments so that jurors could hCar. This year, however, a .notice taped to a unit and signed by the Rappahannock Sheriffs Department orders the controls to be left untouched. Latham told his fellow board members on Monday that Judge Penn had called to complain that it was “almost impossible” to hold court in Rappahannock with the air conditioners. “I can understand his point. We can’t hear either,” said Supervisor Clarence Baldwin, joking that he’s been afraid for years that he would vote the wrong way on an issue because hev couldn’t hear the motion clearly. “I don’t think a speaker system will solve the problem. I think we need central air conditioning,” Latham said. Supervisor Hubert Gilkey agreed that the noise from the window units couldn’t be satisfactorily muffled. “A lot of times even sitting here at this table you’ve got to kind of perk your ears up to hear what’s going on,” he said. Acoustics are even worse for the audience,” Baldwin added. ‘The public is irritated and I don’t blame them. It would certainly irritate me if I couldn’t hear what’s going on.” Noting that the 1983 budget contains $3,000 for court house renovation, the supervisors voted unani mously to solicit bids for installation of central air conditioning in the upstairs courtroom. “I think the judge has a legitimate complaint,” Supervisor Charles Estes concluded. Job Training John Capelle, executive director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission, was before the board to ask that chairman Latham be designated to act in the county’s behalf on matters related to the new Job Training Partnership program. In the process, he echoed criticism of the public school systems that has been leveled recently in both national and state reports. The supervisors passed a resolution last February supporting the Job Training Partnership which will replace CETA (Comprehensive Employment Training Act) October 1. All the federal funds allocated to this program will have to be (Continued on Page 5)

She mixed patterns in. order to press the priceless antiques back into service. “Chips or cracks didn’t mean a thing to her,” Ficklin remembers with a soft smile. “But then Mrs. Johnson came and we put some of it back.” Ficklin was one of the ushers at John Kennedy's funeral. Later, Robert Kennedy threw a party at Hickory Hill in McLean for the top echelon of the White House help as a token of thanks for their service to JFK. “It was nice of him,” Ficklin comments. “He didn't have to do anything like that, but he did.” Ficklin .says it was typical of his treatment during the New Frontier. During her travels, he says, whether to Italy or India, Mrs. Kennedy would bring back a small gift for each person in his department. He says he can’t speak for the rest of the staff and whether she brought them souvenirs, though. He says he was too busy working to notice. He also says he was too busy working to keep a.journal of his White House years, but savs he has noth ing against people who kept such diaries and later published them in book form — as long as they treated the presidents with dignity and respect. He doesn’t like gossip column history. For instance, when asked, “Did President Kennedy really complain that .Jackie went over-budget when she entertained?” Ficklin responded that Kennedy reacted like Congress when the country goes overbudget. Or like any redblooded husband when the credit card bills come due. He offered no further details regarding the marital, state of the Kennedys. “When 1 write my book, it will be about me,” he says. “Naturally 1 will mention the presidents as they pass through, but it will be my book.” Hi re’s how it will probably start out. Sixty-four years ago, John Ficklin was born in Amissville. The seventh of ten children (five girls and five boys), John Ficklin was the son of a slave. His father had been born in 1854 and was freed at the age of 18 following ratification of the Emancipation Proclamation. He used to be the water boy who carried buckets to the field hands.

We all couldn’t stay around doing nothing,” he says. So, within three years, John was headed for the city. “It was hard times. 1 had to get out.” Like many black teens in the middle of the depression, John Ficklin left the country that couldn’t support him. He went to Washington “to get out of the country and to make a living.” First he worked at a Silver Spring riding school, then in a dentist’s office. Opportunity arrived in 1939 wnen ne Decame a part-time pantry man under Franklin I). Roosevelt. That impressive title means he was a glorified dishwasher. John washed the silver and fine china in the "pantry. He explains that table settings are never allowed in the White House kitchen where they risked being mixed in with the skillets or possibly shattered by a wreckless sweep with a French cooking knife. And so they are washed in a separate room. John’s debut at the White House was interrupted by war. From 19411946 he served in the South Pacific as an army medic. But with peacetime came a fulltime position at the White House, working for Harry Truman for $1,460 per year. In those days, that was big money to a poor kid from the country. Now the house where he grew up is only “partly there” and the weeds have grown over the road. He laughs that anyone might want to go to see it. He says nobody could get through without a bulldozer. The property belongs to a nephew now, who lives in the city and camps out in the Amissville woods on the weekends. John’s 77-yearold cousin, Dorothy Jackson, lives nei^by in a red house behind a parsonage. She also “went to Washington a while to make a living” but came back when her parents died. Here, she drove a school bus for 14 years and cleaned people’s houses, too “for a long time.” Now the arthritis has got her and she can’t get around as much as she used to. But she isn’t rich enough to retire. Asked how it feels to have a celebrity in the family, Miss Jackson chuckles. “I think he’s enjoying all the popularity,” she says. Miss Jackson stays in touch with her kin in the city and says she expects to see the former maitre d’ when he comes to the Bethel Baptist homecoming day on the third Sunday in September. Ficklin says he’s looking forward to his annual September homecoming. He always comes to Sperry ville in September for the apples. Asked for his opinion on a bill before Congress to tax imported apples, Ficklin says he favors the flavor of Rappahannock products, but adds, “I really don’t know much about politics.” Weather Worries (Continued from Page 1) ‘near’,’’ Wingfield added. During the entire month of July, Sperryville received .83 inches of rain. Wingfield says the rain on August first still wouldn’t bring the total to an inch. “That’s like having a dime when you need three or four dollars,” he says pointing out that the total for July in 1982 was 4.33 inches and in 1981, 6.10 inches. Compounding the misery of the muggy weather was th/si fact that the average daytime highs in July were five degrees higher than last year, nights a degree cooler, for a net gain of four degrees hotter. Tuesday the temperatures had climbed past 80 degrees by noon and Wingfield said he supposed the “hot will suck all the rain we did get right out of the ground.” Wingfield commiserated with high-technology farmers of today. Agriculture has become a major industry and yet those who work with the soil must still stare at the sky and say, “Rain, where are you?” One of them is orchardist Sam Snead. He says if the dry spell doesn’t stop before September, he could have some crop size problems. Snead says he doesn’t have a lot of voune trees, so his plight isn’t as bad as some of his neighbors, especially with young peach trees. Shallow root crops such as corn and wheat are being badly burned, but Snead says rain isn’t quite so crucial to mature apple trees because their roots run deep into the water table. Still, Snead says his trees are not doing as well as they might. Unless normal precipitation starts by midAugust, the fruit could be stunted and difficult to market. Snead is calling the dry spell a definite drought, but says he isn’t sure what definition weather experts use. He supposes it would be after the situation became a major economic disaster. State climatologist Pat Michaels doesn’t think it will come to that, though. Michaels forecast the recent record dryspell, but says the last half of the summer should offer more rain than normal. By late summer, he means late August and early September.

Bird said that representatives of the utility have confirmed that the upgraded line will not stop at the Sperryville substation; instead it will make a loop, hitting Luray, Sperry ville, Front Royal and Gordonsville. “Power will be of equal magnitude all the way through the loop so if the line goes down at any point, they can continue to supply power at the same kilovolt level,” Bird explained. She maintained that, the power generated over the existing 34.5 kv line is adequate to meet the current needs of Rappahannock customers by the utility’s own admission. “Even planning for the future, a 1115 percent increase doesn’t seem to make much sense...Why doesn’t the power company just double its capacity? Then they wouldn’t have to Additions To Jail Work (Continued from Page 1) why it’s unusual to ask if he got bids,” the StonewallHawthome supervisor added. Estes pointed out that the supervisors haven’t requested copies of any other bids Baughn may have received on sub-contracted portions of the jail renovation. “This is something extra,” Wood maintained. “It wasn’t in the original contract.” “It’s still no different,” Estes countered. Baughn “has his own contractor he uses all the time and that’s probably who he got the bid from.” Spencer interjected that Leroy Berry, the paving subcontractor, does excellent work. As a contractor “concerned with the final product,” Baughn is “somewhat limited” on his subcontracting options, the architect added. He s met his obligations. He got an estimate,” said Supervisor Hubert Gilkey, agreeing, however, that the $12,661 price was “somewhat high.” “But’s he’s going to give the work to a man he can depend on,” noted Supervisor Clarence Baldwin. “I say it’s a poor way to do business,” Wood argued, still calling for bids. “We dilly dally around, we might save $300 or $500 in a bid” but the renovation project — and state reimbursement — may then be delayed and in three or four months, “we’ll have a mess on our hands,” Estes said. Spencer reported that a paving project of comparable scope recently completed in Culpeper by the same sub-contractor cost around $32,500. At the request of the board members, he agreed to report to them on the total square footage of the area to be paved at the jail and determine “if the price is in line.” Contingent upon determination that $12,661 is a reasonable cost for the work, the supervisors unanimously approved the addition of the paving project to the jail renovation contract. mum LIVESTOCK REGULAR SALES Every Tues.

And the answer is ~ at least for now — no, they don’t without compensation to the landowners... But all that issue has to do with is money, not whether the poles stay up or come down.” The second issue, according to Konick, is where the “We have no choice, as far as our money goes, if we want to be reimbursed,” Gilkey emphasized. According to Spencer, jail construction is proceeding on schedule. “It’s going well. There are a number of places where Baughn is giving us more than specified in the contract,” he said, citing as an example, improvements in dry walling at no cost to the county. The supervisors approved a July payment of $50,159 to the contractor after reviewing briefly a description of work completed to date. “I feel in every case, he’s accurately reporting his position,” Spencer concluded. utility is going beyond Sperryville with the higher voltage lines and 70 foot poles and what the citizens’ group can do about it. “It’s obvious that they’re not pumping all this power to Sperryville and not taking it anywhere else. We’ve shown in court that it’s not for the consumptionof Rappahannock County customers!” Konick reported that an attempt had been made to persuade the State Corporation Commission (SCC) to look into the matter. “They’ve refused to do so up to this point on what I consider are very weak grounds,” he said, adding that court action could be taken to force the SCC to review the issue. Under the Virginia Code, the SCC is charged with holding public hearings and conducting an environmental assessment on power line construction that involves 200 kvs or more, Konick said. But the Code also provides that the SCC can investigate if allegations of wasteful or inefficient planning are brought against a public utility, he added, maintaining that the investigative authority applies to lines of any level of voltage. “However, the SCC’s counsel says they’re limited to 200 kv lines and above.” Konick suggested that the homeowners’ committee work with Del. Raymond R. “Andy” Guest and other state legislators to change the law by lowering the kilovolt limit to 100 for power lines that need approval from the SCC before construction. “But the only issue we’ve raised in the present litigation is do they (PotEd) have to compensate the Camerons and to what extent?” Bird warned the audi ence that the Camerons may come to an greement with the power company. “If they decide to settle - which may be wise for them to do -- the issue dies. No one else has raised a legal challenge.” She noted that the Camerons have spent over $6,000 to date and that costs will mount higher with the case going to the Supreme Court. The monetary expense comes on top of the Camerons’ “personal pain and suffering,” she added. “We’ve all been riding on the Camerons’ coat tails and we’re continuing to do that,” Bird said, reporting that after earlier meetings of the homeowners’ group, several people had pledged that they would also bring/suk but to date, no one else had joined the legal battle. The Izaac Walton League has entered the fight on behalf of the issue, “not for the Camerons or any other particular individuals,” Bird continued. If the Camerons settle with PotEd, all the money contributed to the Rappahannock Homeowners Association (now the power line committee of the Izaac Walton League) will be used to support any new legal challenges brought against the upgraded power line or be returned to the donars, she said. Currently, donations total $2,000, she said. The group voted unanimously to request that the Rappahannock supervisors ask Del. Guest to introduce legislation in the General Assembly to lower the kilovolt limit to 100 on lines which must be approved by the SCC. By acclamation, the committee confirmed its officers: chairman Diana Bird, treasurer Don Chandler and secretary Ann Fox.

2,001: A Shoe Odyssey By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock N*w» Staff Writer Chilton Raiford surely can tell stories about the women who have passed through his life. He has become an expert on female psychology by putting shoes on their feet for 30 years. Last weekend Raiford was helping local women try on shoes in his yard and offering them iced tea and Coca-Cola while they did it. Raiford has a house-full of ladies’ shoes, a thousand pairs of shoes in his large white house on Route 211 west of Amissville where he holds sales on the weekends. The shoes are stacked in boxes on the porch, in the kitchen, along all the living room walls, in the sideyard, and in the attic and ground floor of the little log cabin out back. A woman could spend several hours trying on the shoe to fit her foot, be it a size four or a ten. It doesn’t take Raiford long to start steering her to ward her own, new, unique style. “Here darlin’,” he says, handing her a little Spanish sandal and waving her toward a kitchen chair in a shady bower. “Just try it on. You don’t have to buy it, but I think you’ll like it." She does. She likes it, and she buys it, too. At a fraction of its original price. He has an instant insight into each customer’s selfconcept. He knows who can wear red snakeskin and who wants a sturdy beige standing-around shoe for work on Wednesdays. Sometimes his opinion has been known to veto a mother’s choice and with astounding results. “I’ve seen people’s lives changed with shoes,” he says and launches into a story of the time a woman came into the store where he was working in Northern Virginia. She had her 17-year-old daughter in tow, a teen who towered EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY Estate Eileen M. Day realtor CLUES IN THE BASEMENT When inspecting an older home for sale, you don’t have to be an expert to discover symptoms of construction problems if you know what to look for. The basement is a good place to uncover such clues. Water seepage can be costly. Look for signs of moisture. Search for dampness in corners and water stains along walls or cabinets. Water pipes in houses built before WWII are likely to be made of iron or steel which tend to corrode over long years of use. Copper piping is usually found in newer houses. If you see a length of copper betw een segments of iron or steel, there have been plumbing problems. Before you go upstairs, check the water heater’s age, condition and capacity. Nowadays, a water heater of less than 40 gallons capacity is usually too small for a family of four or more. Check for rust or small leaks at the bottom of the tank.

Raiford says the woman proceeded to tell him that the child wore a size ten and had the ugliest feet in the world. In fact, she said she cringed when she saw the kid’s feet sticking out of the end of the bed at night. In the words of folksinger Fats Waller, her “pedal extremities were simply obnoxious.” Raiford reached for a glamorous, glittering pair of evening heels, which the mother promptly rejected as being “too grown-up.” “God forbid that I should ever talk about my children like you do in front of yours,” he says he responded. “She’s a beautiful girl. You should dress her up.” The girl began to beam. Raiford says he begged the mother to allow him to buy the shoes as a gift for the girl A few years later a stunning woman came into the shop; and, of course it was the tall teenager, now fully grown. “Do you remember me?” she asked. “No, but I’d love to,” he says he answered. It was the girl come back to thank him for her first real pair of shoes. She was now a beauty queen, chosen Miss Tall America. Raiford also remembers a 16-year-old boy who couldn’t find a job because his hair was long. Raiford says he saw something in him and decided to give him a chance selling shoes. “In a few weeks, he was top book in the store.” Raiford says. “Now’ he owns four stores.” Those stores do a couple —Rappahannock News Photo/M.

Later the “kid” asked Raiford to be his buyer at the Tysons Comer Store. The circle had come full turn. Now it was Raiford looking for work and he says he was glad to help take care of the business. He says the past three decades have been his education in footwear. Now he understands both sides, buying and selling shoes. And he buys for all ages. He only buys leather or other natural materials. He says he detests plastic shoes. With his house full of famous name brands, Raiford could be running an exclusive salon. But top price on his shoes is $15. Boots that regularly sell for $120 range $15-$40. How he happened to end up in Rappahannock County with a house full of women’s shoes is another of his colorful anecdotes. He says he used to wake up in the city and wonder why he was there. “I could almost smell the hay,” he says of his yearning to return to the country. Each weekend he would go driving west with his kids looking at the hills and woods. One house intrigued him so much that he wrecked his car one day because he drove off the side of the road while he was staring at that house. That’s where he lives now. In that big w hite house on Route 211 near Amissville. August 16 Is Puppet Show Night Dear children and grownups of Rappahannock County, What must you remember not to forget?

RCHS Sets 1st Fee Day This year for the first time Rappahannock County High School students may pick up their class schedules before the start of school. On Monday, August 22, from 10-noon and 1-3, students or parents may come by the school to pickup class schedules. Before being allowed to do so, text fees must be paid. Also, students who received immunization notices from the schools must provide proof that immunizations are complete or are being scheduled. School day insurance at $5 per student and combination locks for hall lockers at $1.50 per student will also be available. Assistant Principal John Toth recommends that each student rent a lock to help insure that books and other personal property are secure. “Also, especially incoming eighth graders should take advantage of this opportunity to learn how to work these locks,” Toth said. This fee day/schedule pickup will enable all students to find their rooms, meet their teachers, and pick up their books prior to the start of school on Wednesday, August 24.

Inc Member Audit Bureau of Circulation Thursday, August 4, 1983 Leading The Way Last Friday, the Virginia Board of Education acted to combat a “rising tide of mediocrity in the public schools” by unanimously adopting a major curriculum overhaul, setting tougher standards for high school graduation, fewer electives and more required courses in foreign languages, science and mathematics. Board member Margaret Marston, who also served on the national commission that first sounded the alarm over the quality of public education, described Virginia as “one of the states in the country that is leading the way.” We hope that Kappahannock s school board follows the state board’s example by leading the way to the implementation of the new requirements, a step that means finally beginning on a capital outlay program at the high school. For without additional space, there will be no classrooms available for the new teachers and the new classes mandated by the state. The plan, which will take effect in the fall of 1984, establishes an “advanced studies” diploma for collegebound students. Young people intending to continue their education past high school will begin in the ninth grade with a more demanding program that requires three years of math, three years of science and three years of a foreign language. Elective course will drop from the current seven to four and course requirements for graduation will rise from 18 to I'l. Students who complete the new advanced studies program with an average of “B” or better will receive a seal of special recognition from the governor on their diplomas. Regular high school diploma requirements will jump from 18 units of study to 20 units for students entering high school in 1984. Those students will also have to finish at least two years of math, two years of science and another year of either math or science. This year, the Rappahannock supervisors cut the proposed school budget, forcing elimination of an additional math teacher from the 1983-84 staff. Next year, that position and possibly others will be necessary in order to satisfy the new curriculum requirements. At the budget session this year, school board chairman Beverly Massie repeated an offer she has made several times in the past, in volunteering the school board to meet with the board of supervisors to discuss school issues. In view of the new curriculum mandated by the state, the supervisors should take her up on that offer and soon. We support the tougher curriculum. The changes will do more to put Virginia’s public schools back on the track of providing quality education than will a hundred minimum competency tests. But the changes are going to cost money and some of it at least will have to come from county coffers. The board of supervisors should begin working now with the school board to determine just how much our schools are going to need in 1984 to take the lead in the push for quality education. This Was The News In Bygone Rappahannock Times... 20 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS On August 8, 1963, the Rappahannock News reported that the county had been approved for a federal grain disaster program. Livestock owners in emergency areas were able to buy feed grain from the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) at a considerable saving under then current support prices. Flint Hill Firemen reported gross income of more than $16,500 from their carnival — after inflation, they'd need nearly double that today for the same result. Harriet Goode, a graduate of Harrisonburg’s Madison College, as sumed duties as Rappahannock’s Home Demonstration Agent. At the Madison Livestock Market, steers and feeder calves sold for $18-26.50; pigs and shoats $7.5015.50. 10 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS Col. E.P. Luke was named as Piedmont District member of the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors. He was appointed by Judge Snead to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Betty Coates. Luke was appointed to serve until the 1974 general election when he was elected to serve his first full term. “Handle With Care” Continued from Page 1 zoning office with the Foster’s folder. Reviewing the record, he reported that two five acre lots were divided from the quarry property in 1972 under the old zoning ordinance. “So those don't count (against the limit of five before a rezoning is required),” he said. In 197b, 2.1 acres were cut off and added on to an adjoining parcel. “That doesn’t count as a strike then,” said Estes. Also in 197b, a 3.3 acre lot was divided and transferred to a new owner, according to Koniek. Then in 1979, a 1.19 acre piece was separated and added to an adjoining lot. “That doesn’t count either,” said Koniek, acknowledging that the five lot limit on subdivision without reasoning had not been exceeded. “But the main problem is road frontage...The ordinance says every subdivided lot must be served by a public road. This tract doesn’t have any road frontage at all.” "But this is not a subdivision,*’ Estes countered, ar guing that the requirement for service by a public road didn’t apply since subdivisions of the quarry property numbered less than five. “I don’t want to be argumentative or beligerent. I’m not for or against this man. I just don’t want things to be shaded,” the Piedmont District supervisor insisted. Foster’s land division is a subdivision by definition of the county’s land use ordinances, the zoning administrator replied. “It just doesn’t have to be rezoned . . . But all lots less than 25 acres have to comply with the subdivision ordinance,” he said, referring to the requirement for 250 feet of road frontage. “He can put in a road and dedicate the road but the Highway Department won’t accept it for maintenance because it serves only one lot,” Konick repeated, adding that it wouldn’t be classified as a public road until it was accepted by the department. He suggested that the supervisors might want to approve Foster’s subdivision as an exception contingent upon his agreeing to maintain the road. According to Konick, the planning commission recommended that Foster’s request be denied but the decision was reached when plans still called for the sixacre lot to be served by a 20foot right-of-way. Supervisor Clarance Baldwin recalled from his experience that the Highway Department won’t accept a road into the state system until it serves three or more houses. With a nine-acre balance left after Foster’s lot is sliced off, there’s no way there’s ever going to be more than two houses (served by the proposed road),” Konick pointed out. By unanimous vote, the supervisors agreed to refer Foster’s request back to the planning commission with the change from the 20-to 50-foot right-of-way and notations on the plat showing the dates earlier land divisions were made from the quarry tract, the zoning on the property and its appraised value. rOur Rappahannock Heritage 1 —Rappahannook News Photo/M.

Let me get this straight: You “lean on” an agenda, while you spread your charisma around, much like organic fertilizer. You “hunt” or “look for” a consensus. You can “lose” a mandate and “cultivate” an aura. Question: If you find a consensus, can you lose it again? If so, does anyone care? Apparently mandates are usually found around White Houses. It appears it is easier to bring a mandate with you into these White Houses than to find one once you are there. Auras seem to be quite ephemeral and can actually blossom, wilt, or change in form, (e.g., an aura of leadership can become one of invincibility, or worse, one of wishy-washy-ness.) A consensus has been likened to an aardvark in that it can disappear into the ground when you are not looking. It seems that consensuses (or is it consensa?) might be more analagous to cats in that they seem to be more attached to places than to people. Cats sometimes will leave a new home into which their owners move and return, or try to, to the previous place in which they dwelt. A consensus sometimes seems to be more at home in its original abode, such as a political party convention, and they quite often will refuse to abide in White Houses; they often will go back, and stay small consensuses, to the relative security of their place of birth but more often they lose their way and are lost forever. But sometimes a stray consensus might show up at your house, regardless of its color. So I conclude that you cannot depend on a consensus. They tend to show up or leave at their own whim. Mandates seem to follow auras around. If you have a strong aura, then you can usually claim to have a mandate, too, and very few people will argue with you. In fact, they will quite often accept your own description of what your mandate looks like even if they’ve never seen it. Spreading charisma without leaning on an agenda seems to reduce your accuracy of application and the aura does not get enough nutrients and wilts or dies. Without an aura to follow around, mandates get lost. (And the consensus has already left, anyway.) So the key to success is to have an agenda to lean upon, even if it is not a very good one. (You can change agendas as often as you wish. Then your charisma can be directed to the proper places and your aura will thrive. A strong aura always attracts a , mandate and usually one of your own choosing. And even though your original consensus has left, another one will eventually show up and you can use it. Disgusting as it may sound, a consensus seems to feed on charisma. And since there is a lot of charisma being spread around, there are a lot of consensuses. So whether you have one or not, it’s no big deal. If you have all these other things, you can always pick up a consensus when you need it, at least once every four years. Anyway, people are funny about consensuses; if they think you have one, whether you do or not, they will flock to your door. Do I have it right, Mr. McCarthy? FRANK REYNOLDS Washington, Va. Flood Plain Problems To the editor: On June 16th of this year, I was issued a building permit to convert a structure into an apartment for the purpose of housing my two employees. On July 12th, after spending substantial time and money on renovation, I was informed by Zoning Administrator David Konick that my building permit had been revoked because the land may partially be in Floodplain District. I was then told that if the Health Department would approve a septic systen^my building permit would be reinstated. The Health Department told me there would be no perk test until the floodplain boundary had been determined. The Health Department referred me to the Soil Conservation Service (S.C.S.) in Culpeper. I was told by the S.C.S. representatives that they are federally employed and merely provide soil survey reports for determining soil content and are not to be used to locate floodplain boundaries. However, up to now the county has used these S.C.S. maps to guess the floodplain districts in Rappahannock. The county needs to have a floodplain map based on soil survey reports, soil analysis, on-site inspection and information concerning flood levels from the Department of Highways. The Health Department cannot accurately determine floodplain levels without these maps. The problem is that the county has all the ordinances and regulations to prohibit construction and septic fields near potentially flooded lands but no clear way to define what is and is not flood plain. Revocation of my building permit by the zoning administrator, after the fact, has caused me serious and unnecessary financial setback. Of the numerous letters I received from the zoning administrator, not one suggested remedies to my dilemma but instead threatened me with fines and additional unfounded violations. Under recommendation of myjittorney I have employed a surveyor to determine the floodplain area but he was unable to do so because of the minute scale of the soil survey reports. The county needs floodplairi ordinances but needs the maps first to enforce them adequately. This problem is the County’s and not mine. I hope this matter can be resolved soon.' TIMOTHY D. ROBINSON Flint Hill r-From Both Barrels Lull Before The Storm By GEORGE BOWLES To the casual observer, and casual observers make up about 99.9 percent of the Virginia electorate, the summer months of any year in which there are no statewide or congressional elections provide the nearest thing to a period of political calm the jaded voters of the Old Dominion are allowed to enjoy. So it is in these steaming Dog Days of 1983. In the cool of November the citizens will go to the polls, probably in modest numbers, and elect 100 members of the House of Delegates, 40 state senators and a host of local officials. But these are essentially neighborhood scraps, and in a hefty number of cases the candidates for the various posts have no opposition. For the aforementioned 99.9 percent of the electorate, it will be a relatively relaxing time. But for those who make up that remaining . 1 percent, the scene is vastly different. For them it is a period of quietly frantic preparation, of a great scurrying around, and of peering into crystal balls. Their worry is not this November, but the Novembers yet to come. Specifically, their concerns are the elections of 1984 and 1985. Consider the next two political years. In 1984, Virginians will elect a United States Senator, all 10 members of their congressional delegation, and help elect a president of the United States. Then, in 1985, comes the “World Series of Virginia Politics.” It will once more be time to choose a governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and, yet again, 100 members of the House of Delegates. In addition to all this, next year both the Democratic and Republican parties will name the members of new state central committees and party officers at their respective state conventions. They will also choose delegates to their national conventions. It is in the nature of Virginia politics that candidacies for just about all of these posts are in various stages of gestation. Some hopefuls have already declared, some have all but declared, some are being mentioned, and still others are trying to get themselves mentioned. The ensuing list is unauthorized, tentative, and admittedly incomplete, but from the vantage point of a hot summer night a year or two in advance, the following are seen as either “getting around the state” in quest of public office, or of thinking of doing so. If anything is certain about the future, it is that incumbent Republican Sen. John Warner has a lock of the GOP nomination for re-election in 1984. Democratic former Del. Edythe Harrison of Norfolk has said she will seek her party’s nomination to oppose him. State Sen. Hunter Andrews of Hampton is reportedly being urged by some senior Democratic leaders to also make a bid for the nomination. The early interest of lobbiest William Thomas of Alexandria is reportedly waning. Moving on to 1985, at least two Republicans are actively eyeing the gubernatorial nomination. They are former Del. Wyatt Durrette of Fairfax and Eighth District Congressman Stanford Parris, also of Fairfax. Former Gov. John Dalton disclaims interest in getting his old job back, but observers note he is doing a considerable amount of political travelling for a non-candidate. A number of GOP and independent conservative coalition members are quietly supporting Secretary of the Army John 0. Marsh, a former 7th district Congressman. Former 6th district Congressman M. Caldwell Butler may also be available. State Sen. John Chichester of Stafford is being mentioned with increasing frequency as a potential GOP candidate for lieutenant governor. State Party Chairman Alfred Cramer of Culpeper is also reportedly exploring a candidacy for the number-two spot. Del. William R. (Buster) O'Brien of Virginia Beach is said to be testing the waters for the Republican nomination for Attorney General. As noted before in this space, there are three potential Democratic candidates for governor. They are Lt. Gov. Dick Davis, Attorney General Gerald Baliles and Del. Richard Bagley of Hampton. If Bagiev does not win the gubernatorial nod, it is generally believed he will settle for the lieutenant governor’s slot on the ticket. Del. Mary Sue Teny of Patrick readily admits she is encouraged by indications of support she is receiving for the Democratic attorney general nomination. She says it’s much too early for a decision on running, but she, too, is spending a lot of time on the road. And so, during these lazy, hazy days of this seemingly placid summer, the political pot is quietly boiling. From Pungo to Cross Junction and from Cumberland Gap to Chincoteague the candidates and their cohorts are ranging over the highways and byw'ays of the Commonw'ealth. The hills are alive w'ith the non-sounds of campaigns a-borning. As for the rest of us, we had best enjoy this quiet season while we can. We have a couple of noisy years ahead. Volunteers Thanked To the editor: I would like to express my appreciation to the Washington Volunteer Fire Department for their response and cooperation in quickly extinguishing the vehicle fire at our home last weekend. MITZIE YOUNG Castleton School Census Almost Finished The Rappahannock County Public School System has nearly completed its census of children in the county between the ages of one and 19 and handicapped children between the ages of birth and 21 as is required by state law' every three years. Since July 1 census enumerators have been visiting homes to locate children in the age categories designated by the state. Families who may have been missed or were unable to contact an enumerator are being asked to contact Judy Atkins at 987-8773 at Rappahannock County School Board Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Thrifty Shoppers Choose Local Shops Bv THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock New. Staff Writer Hard economic times are teaching new consumers a lesson that some smart shoppers have known for years: re-cycled items of high quality can be found at thrift shops for a fraction of their original cost. And in these times of declining quality, sometimes older does mean better in workmanship and style. In addition to local flea markets, Rappahannock residents have several possibilities in their search or ways to make dollars go further. Shopping at local thrift shops can be fun: where else can you find enough crazy clothes and flashy jewelry to fill a child’s dress-up trunk for a few dollars? Or unearth little treasures for a child’s birthday gifts? Thrift shop shopping can also be practical: beautifully made little girl’s dresses or baby clothes are outgrown after a few wearings and equal-and in some cases surpass-children’s clothes found new on the rack for many times the cost. Many adult women find that dated clothes, especially in hard-to-find fabrics like silk and linen, out shine what is available today in detail and construction. For all these reasons, thrift shops, yard sales and flea markets have grown in popularity and number. Rappahannock residents have three thrift shops within easy reach. By far the oldest is the Washington Ladies Auxiliary Thrift Shop run for the benefit of the Washington Fire Company and Rescue Squad. Mary Ellen Burke, vicepresident of the Ladies’ Auxiliary, said that the shop is at least 25 years old. For 15 of those years, Mrs. Burke has been volunteering at the shop and for many years before that volunteered in the summer when she vacationed here with her husband, Charles, at their home on Blue Ridge Avenue. Most popular, said Mrs. Burke, are household items - sheets, dishes, towels. “When you get a lot of household goods, they go real fast,” she said. Mrs. Burke operates the shop on Wednesdays and the Auxiliary’s president, Ruth Clark, opens up on Fridays. Between them, the two dedicated women managed to present the Fire Company with a check of about $2,000 each year. “Of course, sometimes it’s a little less and sometimes a little more,” Mrs. Burke said. “But it’s usually around the same amount.” She added that there’s been a steady stream of activity in the shop since her long as WARRENTON FOOT CLINIC Bruce J.

She hasn’t noticed an increase in business since inflation hit hard. “Some of the same customers have been coming here for years and years,” she said. Right now, the Washington Thrift Shop has some well-made dresses in size 20, a set of encyclopedias, some ladies shoes (size 10), a jewelry box and its usual assortment of men’s, women’s and children’s clothes. Also for sale are the leftovers from the July 4 White Elephant sale, including a double hamburger cooker. There are literally thousands of items in the shop, located in the town hall on Oay street. Those wishing to donate items may stop by during shop hours or leave bundles at the door. The value of donated items is tax deductible. Hours are Wednesday and Friday, 10:00 to 4:00. In Sperryville, Mary Beumer has been operating the Sperryville thrift shop on Route 211 for almost a year. “I started out by taking things to flea markets and holding yard sales, ” she said. “I got awfully tired of packing and unpacking, so I set up a permanent shop here.” Mrs. Beumer gathers her wares from all over— from attics, auctions, yard sales—“anything that catches my eye,” she said. Mrs. Beumer finds that clothes are her fastest-moving item. And each recycled •*M WrtummPPi-Vtarwr. * *■ "£j AMCtilON FARM MACHINERY!

There are household items and knick-knacks - girl’s barrettes, jewelry and some cute children’s comb and mirror sets shaped like an apple, which sole! during the interview. Everything is clean, in good shape and arranged attractively. Mrs. Beumer said that she gets mostly local customers, and it’s easy to see why Rappahannock people return again and again. The Sperryville Thrift Shop is open weekends from 11:00 to 5:00. Folks in Flint Hill needn’t feel left out. They have a thrift shop right on Main Street. The Marigold Thrift Shop, operated by Janet and Margaret Eastham, has been open since May, and it offers local people a chance to sell their superfluous goods on consignment. Their store is in the old tack shop building and it’s easy to spot with marigolds in the window boxes and a bright sign with their flowery trademark. Right now, say the Easthams, they need summer clothes to sell on consignment and they’ll accept winter wear starting the end of August. A visit there in mid-June turned up a framed Currier and Ives print, a giant wicker butterfly, picture frames, an aquarium, a grape vine wreath, and a working typewriter. There are racks and racks of clothing in all sizes, many in very good shape. For avid readers, there’s a large supply of paperback books. Unusual items are latchhook rugs, quilts, a Helen Bridges oil painting and a seashell mirror. The Marigold Thrift Shop is open Tuesdays, 9-5; Thursdays, 9-5; Fridays, 9-5 and Saturdays 9-6. Road (Continued from Page 1) spent on actual training, with emphasis on on-the-job experience, according to Capelle. Planning districts nine and ten, covering an area from Nelson to Fauquier County and including 11 jurisidictions, have established a joint private industry council to administer the new training program, he said. Rappahannock is represented on the council by Butch Zindel. Capelle reported that the council has developed a “good plan” for running the new program locally and asked that Latham be designated to act on behalf of the county in working to expedite implementation of that plan. The plan identifies three priority areas, Capelle said. The first is continued funding for FORE, a sheltered workshop for the handicapped in Remington. Second is skills training planned to be offered through onthe-job experience. Third is remedial education. “For better or for worse, a lot of people are coming out of our school systems and having a hard time filling out a job application and following directions,” Capelle said. Plans call for community colleges to be -the focus of continuing educational programs aimed at the jobless and those preparing to enter the workforce. “Industry people are telling us this is critical.” Capelle said. With no further disussion, the board desiglated Latham to act in its >ehalf on implementing the Job Training Partnership program. w Let s Go Antiquing Whether it s it lazy drive to the country or it trip into the city.

Try New Treatment Of Cabbage Here’s a hearty one-dish meal that won’t heat up the kitchen. I learned it one hot summer when I was poor and so shared my house with a room-mate. I don’t remember what Rose called it, but it had a Hungarian name and it was cheap. Plus, the leftovers were even better the second time around because the sugar soaks in while it’s sitting in the refrigerator and sort of marinates the thing. Ready for Rose’s sauteed cabbage? Go out to your garden and grab a cabbage and let’s get cooking. Chop the cabbage and an onion and saute them in butter over medium heat in a large un covered frying pan. While they’re cooking down, prepare '/z package of rotini (corkscrew) noodles. ady (Rose and I preferred them “al dente”, chewy), stir them into the cabbage mixture. Let the dish sim Add ‘/2-1 pound (depending on your finances) of sliced smoked sausage to the cabbage. Season the mixture with salt (if you use it), pepper, and a handful of brown sugar. When the noodles are re mer over low heat for about half an hour (less if you’re really hungry.) Rose’s cabbage is good with brown bread crusts and lots of cold milk. Later, it’s easily re-heated in a 350 degree oven. Hoover Days Celebrated For the tenth year, the.
