Department of Agriculture has announced that farmers in 21 Virginia counties will be permitted to graze livestock on lands previously set aside for conservation. Officials at the Department’s agricultural stabilization and conservation service say that due to this summer’s drought conditions, farmers enrolled in the Payment in Kind (PIK) program will be permitted to graze livestock on their own conservation use acreage, which is land they had set aside from grain production. Grazing is restricted to livestock owned by producers as of August 1. They may graze livestock only on their land and may not let other producers graze their livestock on the conservation acreage. Area counties included on the list are: Rappahannock, Fauquier, Prince William, Warren, Clarke, Culpeper, Madison, Orange, Greene, Spotsylvania, and Stafford. ASCS officials emphasized that farmers in these counties must first obtain permission from their local ASCS office before turning the animals loose. This is to clear necessary paperwork. Seventh District Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson called the emergency (Continued on Page 2) Job Picture Improves The Virginia Employment Commission reports that latest figures show an overall employment upturn. In fact, the June figures reflect somewhat of a record. It’s the first time in 31 years that unemployment across the state has decreased in June. That’s the time of the year when the workforce is ‘ traditionally enlarged by students seeking summer jobs. “It seems to me they’re being absorbed somewhere somehow,” says Culpeper VEC spokesman Jackie Cooke. Cooke added that in Culpeper the “bottom line (number in the work force) is expanding while the rate goes down” which leads her to believe that the rates are expected to be good for a while. However, Cooke cautioned that the rates don’t show the fiill job picture. It doesn’t reflect those who are “under-employed” in a job far below their abilities. Nor does it show those who continue to check the jobs listing at the VEC while they (Continued on Page 2) Accidents Checked Local police worked a series of minor mishaps over the past week. Dorothy Kuncewicz of Flint Hill was charged with failure to drive to the right of the roadway following an accident last Thursday on Route 647, according to State Trooper Chuck Moore. Kuncewicz was westbound on a downgrade when she lost control of her 1962 Mercury station wagon on wet pavement while negotiating a curve and sideswiped a 1978 Ford pick-up driven by Michael DelGrosso. Moore estimated damage to the vehicles at $1,000 apiece. There were no personal injuries.

Crime And Clearance Rates Low In Rappahannock By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer The crime dewinte rate here dropped a percentage point and a half between 1981 and 1982, leaving Rappahannock with the seventh lowest rate for cleared or solved crimes among Virginia’s 95 counties, according to the 1982 edition of Crime in Virginia compiled by the uniform crime reporting section of the Department of State Police. At the same time, the county’s crime rate continued to go down, dropping from 11.48 per 1,000 in 1981 to 10.83 per 1,000 in 1982. Only 16 counties had a lower rate for crime index offenses in 1982. Crime index offenses are: murder/nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglai y, larceny and motor vehicle theft. According to State Police statistics, Rappahannock had one murder/nonnegligent manslaughter, two aggravated assaults, 29 burglaries, 33 larcenies and two motor vehicle thefts in 1982. Of those offenses, 19.70 percent were cleared. The State Police investigated six of the crime index offenses and cleared 60 percent of those. Of the 61 offenses handled by the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department, only 16.39 percent were cleared. No Excuses “I’m not making excuses. I know we don’t have a very good rate for crimes solved but we solve every one we can!” said Sheriff W. A. Buntin. He explained that an offense is classified as cleared once charges are placed against the alleged perpetrator. “Percentage wise, we have a good rate on convictions of those who are charged even though many of the cases are plea bargained with reduced charges,” Buntin added. The low clearance rate here can be attributed partially to “not having an investigator to devote fulltime to investigating,” the sheriff said. “We don’t have enough personnel. There’s no way we can reach with’' three (full-time deputies - ...(Each deputy) has to’ pull a shift. Rarely do we have more than one man on at a time. Also somebody has to serve papers and handle court security,” Buntin said. “With only three (fulltime deputies), there’s no way we can have a specialist (assigned only to investigations). They have to do everything.” Buntin emphasized that the Rappahannock sheriffs department “reports what happens.” He explained that the clearance rate would look better if his department neglected to report offenses that appeared impossible to solve. “But we don’t inflate figures. I’m not saying that anyone else does either but they could—and we could.” The make-up of the county’s population also contributes to the low clearance rate, Buntin continued. With so many of the residences here belonging to part-time residents who spend only weekends or va Rained Out! “This is the first time I’ve been rained out all season,” Tim McCarthy said as he sat in his trailer watching the rain run down the windows. McCarthy came from Westerville, Ohio, to help the Amissville Ruritan Club hold its inaugural donkey ball game Thursday. “You need the rain, but I feel sorry for the Ruritan club.” Outside the donkeys were feeling sorry for themselves. When they saw McCarthy, they began to bray, carry on, and compete for his attention. He explained that they were all “psyched up” for the game, disappointed that they didn’t get to play in Rappahannock. “They’re highly trained professional athletes,” he said. According to his literature, more than a million spectators enjoyed a Buckeye Donkey Ball show last season. And while the baseball guys are away, five teams of donkeys are at the Florida training camp preparing for basketball season. McCarthy says all ten units of donkeys stay in training all the time. They eat a high calcium diet and get plenty of exercise mostly by carrying around prominent local officials during the fund raisers. When will they take on the Amissville Ruritan Club? “We’re shooting for the 17th,” McCarthy said. Rappahannock News Photo. M May DRENCHED DONKEYS were dismayed to see themselves rained out for the first time this season. In Rappahannock for the Donkey-ball game that never was are: (1-r) 17-year-old Batman, coach Tim McCarthy, and rookie Super Sweet. cations in Rappahannock, there is frequently a long delay between commission of a crime like burglary or larceny and its discovery and report to the police, said the sheriff. “Particularly in the winter. Sometimes it’s the whole winter before a breakin is discovered,” he noted. And during that time lag, evidence and leads grow cold, Buntin added. Lowest in Both Among the five counties in the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District, Rappahannock ranked at the bottom, both with its 10.88 per 1,000 crime rate and its 19.7 percent for crimes solved. By comparison, Culpeper’s crime rate per 1,000 was 25.18 and its clearance rate 42.52 percent; Fauquier’s crime rate 18.49 per 1,000 and its clearance rate 28.00 percent; Madison’s crime rate 20.85 per 1,000 and its clearance rate 32.20 percent and Orange’s crime rate 22.71 per 1,000 and its clear(Continued on Page 2) Electronic Riddle Puzzles Board Of Zoning Appeals By MICHELE MAl Kappahanmn'k News Staff Writer When does a structure become a building? When it’s bigger than a breadbox? When it has a basement? When it takes a jack-hammer to tear it apart? Such questions plagued members of the Board of Zoning appeals Friday as they struggled to apply the zoning code to various telephone company terminals. C&P Telephone company sought a special use permit to place an apparatus cabinet for electronic equipment on their right-of-way across the Alton Bailey property at Routes 645 and 637. Earl Davis from C&P described the new style community service cabinet as necessary to keep up with orders for new connections in the area. The new cabinet is more compact than the old system. Designed to resemble a signboard, the cabinet is 61/- feet wide, o1/- feet high, and 27 inches deep, but contains as many connections as five old-fashioned devices, he said. Yet the cabinet is installed on a slab of concrete on the ground rather than attached to telephone poles. And so arose the discussion of whether the cabinet was a “structure” or a “building”. If it were a building under the zoning ordinance, then C&P would need a 35 foot set-back from the side property line, which Davis said couldn't bo done on tho present easement and would he less efficient. Since the cabinet is mounted on a slab rather than a pole. Zoning Administrator David Konick held that a variance is needed. “Apparently surrounding counties have exemptions for this sort of thing," he said. Rappahannock doesn't. And so Konick reports that he also referred the matter to the planning commission with suggestions to amend the ordinance. Technically, he said, utility companies would have to consult with county officials every time they want to put in any-kind of distribution lines under the current ordinance. Still, the question remained on Friday—is the slab a structure and does it necessitate set-back? Peter Kramer maintained “it doesn’t make any sense” to require it and that he was “willing to vote on it without a set-back.” He urged action. “It’s costing us all money to have these two guys sitting here," he said, referring to the two representatives from (’&!*. "We’re all gonna pay for it on our next phone bill.” Kramer said that since C&P would be allowed to attach the connections to a pole without a set-back, they should be allowed to place the same connections on the ground without one. However a decision made last month regarding Cen-Tel complicated matters on Friday. At their July meeting, members of the HZ A denied a special use and variance requested by Centel Telephone Company for equipment already installed in Flint Hill on Route 729 near 522. The connections were enclosed in two cabinets measuring seven feet high and two feet wide. They were attached to a concrete pad on a right-of-way across the Robert Metcalfe property. “MayIk* I jumped the gun,” CenTel’s contractor John Itrown said at the time, “But is this considered a building?” Apparently, the answer then was “yes.” Hut in that earlier case, concrete was poured on the premises over a gravel bed and the earth was excavated. The new C&I* facility considered Friday was described by BZA chairman Lee Bird as "erected not constructed.” It is set down, not dug in he said, and easily removed in one piece with a forklift. And so it does not appear to be a “building." “We seem to be scattered like a covy of quails on this issue,” Bird continued. “We must consider what we did last time. We were presented all the same arguments last time and it would be inconsistent for us to make a different finding this time.” Last time BZA member (Continued on Page 2) BZA Oks House Permits The Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals handily approved three applications for houses at Friday’s meeting. The board members questioned whether Edgar Brenner even needed their approval to build his—a reconstruction of the hundredyear-old George Smoot house that burned down in Harris Hollow. The property would still only have one house on it and so a special use permit is not needed. (The county’s zoning ordinance requires a special use permit for a second residence on any size subdivided lot.) lot.) However, the board did grant Brenner permission to live in a trailer temporarily until construction is completed. He said he expected to finish “after the good weather next year.” A oneyear allowance was given for the temporary mobile home. Neva Ordman easily received permission to move an old log cabin onto her property off Route <>38 near Flint Hill to remodel as a rental property. The cabin would be situated well in the center of her f»0 acres, away from the road and away from the property boundaries. Mr. & Mrs. Howard Holschuh of Castleton received a special use permit to built a new retirement house on their land, but again the board questioned whether the Holschuhs needed a special use permit since the house will be the only one on the five acre lot in question. It was the opinion of Zoning Administrator David Konick that when the Holschuhs bought the lot in 1!)80, it became merged with the rest of their property, forming one parcel. If so, the parcel would have two houses and a special use permit would be necessary, but then they would be governed by the subdivision ordinances were they to sell part of their lots, according to Konick. In order that the Holschuhs could proceed with construction, the BZA approved the special use permit, reserving judgement on the question of merger. BZA chairman Lee Bird ad vised. the Holschuhs that they have .'{() days to apjjeal the decision of the zoning administrator but that the merger falls under the subdivision ordinance rather than zoning law. It wasn't so easy for A.K. Davis to get the goahead. He applied for a variance to build a pole storage building on his land off Route t>22 in Harris Hollow. The land is located within a flood plain, but that wasn’t (Continued on Page 2) Phone Strike Poses Minor Inconvenience To Local Customers “All circuits are busy.” “Due to the work stoppage, there is a delay in processing your call... ” Those messages droned by a computer show the effects of the ten day old strike against the Bell System by the Communications Workers of America. Bill Flippo, manager of Central Telephone’s Front Royal office, acknowledged that the utility serving Rappahannock telephone customers in Washington, Flint Hill and Huntly has been affected by the strike, even though all of its operators are still at their switchboards. “Ther^ are no CenTel workers oh strike but in this area, we rely on Bell Systems for operator assistance.” The first few days of the strike, customers trying to reach information or make an operator assisted call sometimes faced a wait of several minutes, he noted. However, Flippo said the delay has been cut each day since as management personnel manning switchboards gained greater expertise at their new jobs. Particularly during the first few days of the strike, CenTel customers trying to direct dial long distance ran up against “all circuits are busy” recordings. “People who would normally dial ‘zero’ for an operator (to put through a long distance call) were dialing “one” and it overloaded our trunk lines,” Flippo explained. “We’ve really done pretty good, looking at all the conditions, but we don’t know how long the strike will last. They haven’t been out for very long,” he added. The drought that has wrecked havoc with farm fields, pastures, gardens and water supplies has been a blessing for the phone companies, according to the CenTel manager. “If we have storms and rain, it could cause some problems,” he noted. Bill White from C&P Telephone’s Winchester office reported no difficulties in his service area which includes “987’ and “937’ exchanges in Rappahannock. “We had a slower than normal response time by long distance and directory assis(Continued on Page 2) «% » -« * -A- - ■ - - nappanannocK nawa rnovru nuKwnaon SEARCHING FOR OLD MAN’S LOVE, joe-pye weed, rabbiLtobacco, horsetail grass and other wildflowers, Betty Buntin, Virginia Pendleton and Jo Frantz gather blooms for drying.

Electronic Riddle Puzzles Continued from Page 1 Peter Kramer was absent. “Life is growth,” he commented. “That decision can be restudied.” C&P Approved The board voted 4-1 with James Swindler casting the dissenting vote to approve the C&P permit, providing the company can obtain a letter from the Highway Department stating that the service cabinet would not constitute a safety hazard by obstructing motorists’ vision. By the end of the meeting, CenTel representatives were on hand to request reconsideration in their case. Now, if LenTel could pick up their concrete pad with a back-hoe and place it down again in the same; spot, that would prove that it was moveable and therefore not a building. But if it were moveable, it wouldn’t need to be moved because it would be exempt from zoning rules governing buildings and structures, according to the BZA’s position. For as Kramer pointed out, a structure must have a permanent location. “If they can’t show that it can be moved, then it ought to come out,” he concluded. But CenTel representative Sonny McBride said the company removed the equipment the Friday before and now are preparing to reapply for a permit. If it is a question of whether the pad is to be permanently attached to the ground, the company is willing to file a statement with the board from their resident engineer affirming that the pad is moveable in tact, McBride said. Armed with a letter from their engineer and a letter from the highway department telling whether the cabinets might be a traffic hazard, CenTel will return to the BZA for formal action at the September 7 meeting. Emergency Grazing Allowed v onunueu iroiii i 1 grazing clearance a development to assure adequate feed for livestock and added that additional counties may be added if drought conditions worsen. Robinson also noted that the House Agriculture committee may review other aspects of the PIK program early this fall. “Unforeseen drought conditions have magnified PIK’s reduction of supplies of grain and certain other crops, creating worry in Congress over the adequacy of feed for animals and poultry, as well as over its impact on food prices,” he said in a written release. Robinson also predicted that the committee would draft amendments to immigration laws in an effort to create a more flexible system of admitting seasonal migrant farm workers. Related agricultural matters he expects to come before Congressional committees this fall are (1) how to keep the rural electrification credit program on a self-sustaining basis and (2) the imposition of a second 50 cent dairy fee which was postponed only until October 1.

The statistics also don’t include those who have been too discouraged to continue looking for work during the recent recession. As more of them resume their search for employment, Cooke says the rates cov’d show a slight slump. Rappahannock County enjoyed a 6.3 percent unem ployment rate in June, midway between the statewide 5.8 percent and the 10.2 rate for the nation as a whole. In this region, Rappahannock’s unemployment rate is above but close to the figures of nearby counties: Culpeper 6 percent, Orange 5.6 percent, Madison 5 percent. Only Fauquier showed a far better employment picture with a June unemployment rate of just 3.7 percent.

Since Davis plans to use the building to store agricultural equipment, it falls into one use, agriculture, allowed in a flood plain. But the building is required to be at least 25 feet from the property line and Davis proposed only a 12 foot set-back on one side. Davis suggested a spot for the building that was between Rush River on one side and a power line rightof-way on the other. He was between a road on one side and a telephone company on another. And if he moved the building up, it would end in his front yard, a not especially easthetic solution, according to the applicant. The BZA tabled his variance request until the September 7 meeting to give neighbors time to comment on whether a set-back variance would adversely affect their property. In other business, the BZA granted an extension on the special use permit for the Rappahannock Group Home. Representing the business was Heinrich Feilitzsch of Amissville. He said he needed the extension because financing is pending, adding that he has filed applications for federal funding and also is working with officials in Warren County on a bond issue. A motion by Peter Kramer to extend the permit until November, 1984, was unanimously approved. BZA members agreed that the financing process necessary to establish the licensed home for adults, proposed to be located at the old ski area site in Harris Hollow, constituted an un Telephone Continued from Page 1 tance the first days of the strike but it was still only a few seconds...Initially, we were asking people to request operator assistance only in an emergency.” But, as of last Friday, that recording had been- discontinued, according to White. “Our administrative people (who are working at the switchboards) have gotten more proficient and we have some (regular operators) coming in, crossing the picket lines,” he said. “The public has also cooperated to ease the impact of the strike on telephone service,” said White. “Our customers have been very understanding. They’ve been trying to work with us by direct dialing and using their phone book to look up numbers.” foreseen delay. A different sort of unforeseen delay is a lawsuit. That was the grounds for granting an extension to Potomac Edison for a special use permit to build the transmission line from Page County to Sperryville. PotEd officials maintained—and former BZA member Charles Estes verified—that the original permit was granted with no expiration date. However, a search of the written records didn’t show any reflection of that intent. PotEd representative ^Kenneth Nichols explained that^~\the open-ended agreemenC was- made because the BZA understood at the time of application that construction would take longer than a year, the normal time limit for a permit. Nichols said the line is intended to be 14 miles long, with six miles of easements needed in Page County. The line will cross the mountains, he said, and all the normal equipment is being used plus helicopters. “Mules, too?” quipped chairman Bird. But the board was sympathetic to the problem. Saying that a lawsuit from landowners in Rappahannock was “an unforeseen obstacle” that had halted construction due to a permanent court injunction, the BZA granted an openended extension on the special use permit. The vote was 3-0 with Bird and Swindler abstaining. Bird announced that he was “presiding only and not participating” due to a possible conflict of interest and that the vote concerned the permit only and was “not a question of the merits of the line.” Finally, the BZA reversed the revocation of a building permit by Zoning Adminstrator David Konick. Konick had revoked Timothy Robinson’s building permit to add an apartment to the back of his Flint Hill house after Konick learned that the area was within a flood plain. However, Robinson appeared before the BZA with documents to show that he had conferred won me neaun department, Soil Conservation Service and private surveyors, but had not been able to establish that the area was a flood plain. BZA member Sharon Luke maintained that the burden of proof should be on the person, or in this case the county, revoking the permit to show that Robinson’s property actually is in a flood plain. The board voted to allow Robinson to continue to convert the back of the building as long as he didn’t enlarge the building. However, he would have to file for a variance to keep a loading dock he had replaced on the front of the structure since regulations require a 75 foot set-back from the center of the road. Robinson was also cautioned not to use the building for business pimposes since it does not have commercial zoning. Neighbors had complained that Robinson was running a cabinet building and furniture shop out of his house, according to Konick, who said that he had observed a considerable variety of woodworking tools when he inspected the premises. Robinson replied that he was using the tools in refurbishing the apartment which he admits is intended to house his two “employees.” Hard feelings were evident between Robinson and Konick as Robinson leveled what Konick characterized as “personal invectives and serious allegations” against him and Konick countered in an effort to discredit Robinson. Chairman Bird called the meeting back to order several times to bring the discussion back to the issues in question. Since Robinson had a letter from the Health Department approving future construction of a septic system, the flood plain question was dismissed as a hindrance to the apartment construction. Bird told him that he could have the variance for the restoration of the front of the building considered at the next BZA meeting if he files for the , permit within 15 days.

Lelia Noyes Lucas At 84, Still As Colorful And Alive As Her Art ~ “I’m excited—and I’m nervous and frightened,” said Lelia Noyes Lucas of the exhibit of her watered ore that opens August 21 at the Middle Street Gallery in Washington. She should be excited and a little nervous. After all, it’s only the second showing ever of her art. But she shouldn’t be frightened. The folks lucky enough to find their way to the gallery on Sunday afternoon will love what they see. Under her brush, flowers bloom in a riot of red, orange, yellow and purple. Sunlight reflects from a country pond while a fisherman tosses his line from the dock. The hills and meadows of Virginia’s Piedmont roll up to the Blue Ridge Mountains. And the rural scenes she creates are no more vibrant, alive and colorful than Mrs. Lucas herself. As much as admirers love her art, they love the artist more. She is an amazing woman. There was still ice around the shoreline when Lelia Lucas motored out to the pond in her electric golf cart for the first plunge of the year. Swimming in Rappahannock on March 14 isn’t something most people find even tolerable, much less enjoyable. Mrs. Lucas is no exception. “I don’t know why I do it any more. I guess because swimming from March until November is the only thing left that I can brag on!” she admitted, chuckling. She won’t tell about more than her membership in Huntly’s one-woman polar bear club unless pushed— and pushed hard. Not that the swimming isn’t noteworthy, particularly when the swimmer is 84 years old. It’s just that she has done and still does so much else—and does it all well. She’s been many things in her 84 years. Wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, she’s once divorced and twice widowed. Left alone with chil EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY ^fea/ cEstate Eileen M.

Each school and the School Administration Office has a copy of the policy, which may be reviewed by an interested party. The following household size and income criteria will be used for determining eligibility: Household Sin Foreach addNonal household NDdmum »»--L.U nousonon IncomFor Free mail* 6*318 8,502 10,686 12,870 1*056 17,238 19,422 21,606 2,184 nousenow Income For rnCcMmiS $6^19-8,991 8^03-12,099 10,687-1537 12^71-18,315 15,055-21,423 1739-2431 19,423-27,639 21,607-30,747 3,100 Children trom families whose income is at or below the household levels shown are eligible for free or reduced price meals. Application forms are being sent to all homes with a letter to parents or guardians. To apply for free or reduced price meal, households should fill out the application and return it to the school. Additional copies are available in the principal’s office in each school. The information provided on the application will be used for the purpose of determining eligibility and may be verified at any time during the school year by school or other program officials. For the school officials to determine eligibility, the household must provide the following information listed on the application: names of all household members; social security numbers of all adults household members or a statement that the household member does not possess one; total household income; and the signature of an adult household member certifying that the information provided is correct. Households are required to report increases in household income of over $50 per month or $600 per year and decreases in household size. Applications may be submitted at any time during the year. Under the provisions of the free and reduced price policy, the school principal will review applications and determine eligibility. If a parent or guardian is dissatisfied with the ruling of the official, he may wish to discuss the decision with the determining official on an informal basis. If the parent wishes to make a formal appeal, he may make a request either orally or in writing to Mr. Robert S. Estabrook, Superintendent for a hearing to appeal the decision. The policy contains an outline of the hearing procedures. If a household member becomes unemployed or if the household size changes, the family should contact the school. Such changes may make the child of the household eligible for reduced price meals, or for additional benefits such as free meals if the family income falls at or below the levels shown above. In certain cases foster children are also eligible for these benefits. If a household has foster care children living with them and wishes to apply for such meals for them, the household must complete an application. The information provided by the household is confidential and will be used only for purposes of determining eligibility and verifying data. In the operation of child feeding programs administered by the U S. Department of Agriculture, no child will be discriminated against because of race, color, sex, national origin, age or handicap. If any member of a household believes they have been discriminated against, they should write immediately to the Secretary of Agriculture, Washington D C 20250. RW*h*«noefcN*i»»Pho»ort). Hutchinson THE ARTIST AT HOME—Lelia Noyes Lucas pauses for a few moments to relax. An exhibit of her watercolors opens this Sunday, August 21, at Middle Street Gallery in Washington. dren to educate after the death of her second husband, she and her girl friend parlayed a $10 investment into a booming business. The partners charged several yards of fabric at a department store and paid a dressmaker to turn the materia] into the tea gowns popular at the time. They sold the gowns, cleared their bill and bought more material, put the dressmaker to work again, sold more gowns and repeated the cycle until they had saved up enough capital to rent shop space for their enterprise. Next A Fanner After she retired from that Washington, D. C., business in 1959, Mrs. Lucas returned to Huntly Manor, the 1,000-acre estate that had been in her father’s family for six generations, the summer home where she had spent her childhood. The farm had been rented FLOWERS BURST into a riot of color in this painting by Lelia Noyes Lucas. In other works by the 84-year-old artist, pastel blossoms melt into a shaded background and country scenes unfold against the backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains. for 50 years. The outbuildings were run down and the fields and pastures overgrown. And she knew absolutedly nothing about fanning. But then Mrs. Lucas had known absolutely nothing about dressmaking or running a shop when she launched that enterprise 20 years earlier. She read extensively on the subject of agriculture, hired a farm management consultant to teach her the rest and Wakefield Manor was on its way to becoming a model farming operation. In 1974, Mrs. Lucas’ son, Col. Robert Dickey, retired from the Marine Corps and joined her in Rappahannock to take over the day-to-day management of crops and cattle. Last fall, the mother-son team was honored as the county’s soil conservationists of the year for 1982. Then An Artist She took up painting only after her sight deteriorated too far to continue the needlepoint masterpieces that consistently won “best in show” at the prestigious Woodlawn competition. Mrs. Lucas has a rare eye condition that has been treated over the years at the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. She has endured five operations. Her vision comes and goes now and when she can see, she paints. She’s modest. Three years ago, friends took paintings they’d received as Christmas presents to the little art gallery housed in a Flint Hill com crib. Impressed, proprietor Mary Schumaker set up a show of Mrs. Lucas’ work. This time, a friend brought Dan Lewis and Sarah Shorter to the cottage at Wakefield Manor to see the paintings that hang there and to meet Mrs. Lucas. Impressed, they arranged the exhibit that will open this General District Court ' ' - Two Convicted On Welfare Fraud Two area citizens have been denied the privilege of participating in the food stamp program for six months following conviction of welfare fraud in Rappahannock General District Court on Tuesday.

And A Writer She already has another project in mind to fill the hours when she can no longer see well enough to paint. “When my eyes finally give out —and there’s not much hope of any change—I’ll try writing,” she promised. She has started setting down her adventures on paper—tales of her life in China where her mother was presented at the court of the last dowager empress, of dinner with cousin Wallis Warfield Simpson and the Prince of Wales when she watched his highness goosestep around the table, of entertaining the Shah of Iran. The pictures she paints with words are as lovely and vibrant as those she creates with a brush and palette of water colors. Those who have glimpsed bits and pieces of the mural that is the life of Lelia Noyes Lucas have already placed their orders for a copy of those memoirs.

Inc Member Audit Bureau ot Circulation _ What “Miserable Smorgasbord?” Last week, Robert Eastham wrote the Rappahannock News, describing the electives offered at the county high school as a “miserable smorgasbord.” After serving on the local school board for four years, Mr. Eastham should know better. He should know exactly what courses are offered at the high school. We have the list and after looking it over, we want to know where Mr. Eastham gets the idea that it’s a “miserable smorgasbord (of) ‘busy time’ electives which have no place in a decent school district in the first place.” A recent article in the Washington Post reporting new graduation requirements set by the Virginia school board noted that Margaret Marston (board member and member of the National Commission on Excellence in Education) and S. John Davis (state superintendent of schools) had agreed “to begin an investigation into elective courses offered by many schools with an eye toward reducing many that are ‘frills.’” Are there “frills” the same thing as Mr. Eastham’s “miserable smorgasbord?” The Post’s article went on to cite specific examples of “frills” offered in some Virginia schools—sign painting, barbecue cooking, knitting and needlepoint. In his letter to the editor, Mr. Eastham omitted any specific reference as to what is served at RCHS’s “miserable smorgasbord.” A check with the high school’s administration shows that students here choose electives from a list that includes algebra I and II, geometry, trigonometry and calculus. Current graduation requirements—two years of math—can be met with math 8 and 9. Advanced math courses are usually necessary for college acceptance but are not required for graduation and so come under the classification of electives. The same applies to French I, II and III. Today, fewer and fewer colleges require foreign languages for admittance. At present, there is no graduation requirement in that area. More “miserable” electives? The Rappahannock school board today calls for three years of science before a student may graduate. The state today says two years are necessary. The higher standard at RCHS can be met by taking physical science, earth science and biology, leaving chemistry and physics as electives, another example of that “miserable smorgasbord” no “decent school system” would offer. Obviously, some of those courses are necessary for young people who plan on going to college. After all, Virginia’s standards of quality demand that every high school graduate be equipped to either continue his or her education or find a job. And just as obviously, some of the other electives offered at RCHS’s “miserable smorgasbord” are necessary for young people in a vocational program. There’s general business, mechanical drawing, funda mentals of power (an introduction to small engine repair, theories of power and how to harness it), beginning and advanced woodworking (an introduction to cabinet and furniture making), home economics I, II and III (an introduction into fashion and tailoring and food service), and typing. The high school also offers a few—a very few—electives that don’t fall into the category of either vocational or college prep courses. There’s building trades for disadvantaged students and reading to bring skills of poor performers up to grade level. There’s the new combination personal typing/computer concepts. Every college students needs to know how to type and every student at RCHS should be introduced, at least, to computers. There’s sociology/psychology, the only opportunity young men and women at RCHS have to learn a little something about social science. And then there are the subjects Mr. Eastham has repeatedly attacked as worthless in his four years on the board—art and music. This year, band has been added to that listing. It makes no difference, apparently, that the students in these classes learn to read music, learn something about the lives of the great painters, sculptors and composers, can recognize Handel’s Messiah, the works of Rodin, Georgia O’Keefe, Whistler, Michelangelo and Monet. It makes no difference that their lives are enriched, their horizons broadened. Apparently, art and music are two of the trappings of civilization that Mr. Eastham feels Rappahannock children can live without. We say no. We say Rappahannock children need art, music and the rest of the “miserable smorgasbord of electives” as much as children anywhere—maybe more so. And we don’t think it’s an either/or question—either electives or academic courses. In Rappahannock now, they are one and the same. We acknowledge that our educational system here is far from perfect. We agree with Mr. Eastham that improvements are definitely needed. It’s on the “how” that we part company. We’d do it, not by cutting courses, but by hiring and keeping good teachers, maybe with an index salary scale, maybe with some form of merit pay such as a master teacher program much like the grading and compensation of college professors. We’d do it by providing science labs where students can actually perform experiments, by providing classroom space for more math courses, academic English from eighth through twelfth grade, two languages and introduction to computers. We do it by setting standards for graduation that require students to demonstrate they have mastered what is necessary to either find a job or continue on to higher education. We do it by buying the groceries and setting the table for a feast of learning. This Was The News In Bygone Rappahannock Times... 20 Years Ago Rappahannock News RAPPAHANNOCK School Superintendent O. A. Norton said schools would open for the 1963-64 session on September 3 at 9 a.m. Opening day classes would be abbreviated with school operating only until noon. Classes started earlier, on August 28, at George Washington Carver Regional High School. The apple trees were so weighted down with fruit that it was necessary to lean over to pick the apples. ft 10 Years Ago RAPPAHANNOCK School Superintendent 0. A. Norton said the 1973-74 session would start Monday, August 27. Classes would be dismissed at 2 p.m. with a full day scheduled on August 28. An increase of five cents in the price of school lunches was approved by the Rappahannock school board members at their August meeting. This action was prompted by “the increase in food costs and the reduction of available food commodities under the school lunch program. M* Our Rappahannock Heritage .uwm ec\.

Perhaps the failure lies with the American people who failed to see thuoftgk the biased reporting of'the news media. Ever since the “Georgia Boy” and his administration hit the “Big House” in Washington, they were chewed up and spat out by the judicial reporting of the t.v. networks. They were belittled and badgered by pettiness, and the American people were brain-washed (if you will) by prolonged incompetent reporting. First of all. Carter was criticized for permitting his brother, Billy, to expose his good-natured humor by making pubic appearances on talk shows. Any president who would allow such straight-forwardness by a member of his own famioy would be the first in line to support a true democracy. In the words of Harry Truman, “When even one American who has done nothing wrong is forced by fear to shut his mind and close his mouth then all Americans are in peril.” President Carter was then plagued by the investigation of his budget director, Bert Lance, whom I might add was acquitted on nine counts of supposed bank fraud. Due to all the bad publicity and being a long-time friend of Carter, Lance thought it best to resign. *■ Carter then underwent an investigation of his peanut warehouse, which proved to be a needless waste of time and taxpayers money. The investigation proved no wTong-doing (much to the dismay of the news media). When President Carter wanted to appoint the first federal black judge in the state of Virginia, Harry Byrd Jr. was incensed over the nomination. Byrd, a Virginia Independent, fought Carter for years to stop Shiffields confirmation. As if these annoyances weren’t enough, pressure was being placed upon Carter by Kissinger, Rockefeller and Brzezinski to allow the Shah of Iran into our country, since the Shah was dying of cancer. Despite .Carters reluctance to adhere to said pressures, but due to the humanitarian that he is, the Shah was granted temporary political asylum. When the Iranians took over the American Embassy in Iran, it was apple pie for the t.v. news critics. Every hour on the hour, for one year all I heard was tie a yellow ribbon around a tree, and why isn't Carter doing something! Well, he was and did do something. He sent out a secret mission to rescue the 52 hostages, much to the consternation of the U.S. Congress since their fragile egos were tramatized for not being told of every detail of the mission. More bad luck for the President. Unfortunately, eight brave American men gave up their lives. At least Carter was honest and man enough to accept full responsibility for the mission’s failure. The hostages are all back home now, thanks to the patience and perserverance of Jimmy Carter. Come on news reporters, let’s give the man credit where credit is due. If some of you news-casters were worth your salt, the American public would be hearing more from the 52 hostages. We certainly were bombarded every hour on the hour from all you Carter critics when they were in Iran. Another disappointing development occurred when Carter wras running for reelection. Some of his own party members turned against him, such as Ted Kennedy and Jane byrne of Chicago — obviously to split the democratic vote. To my delight, we don’t hear anymore about Kennedy entering the presidential race and Byrne was not re-elected mayor of Chicago. After close observation of how the press can make or destroy the highest office in the United States of America, one has only to conclude that if Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and Abraham Lincoln were alive today, they would be crucified by the t.v. networks! In this day and age it seems the love of money has taken precedent over the love of objective, competent reporting. It seems incredulous how a president who was for women’s rights, for minority rights, for environmental protection, for the public school system, for the Salt II peace treaty, and pro the working blue collar class of America could be so unjustifiably persecuted. Carter’s only crime was caring too much for too many in too short a time. Perhaps if he would have spent more time in Plains, Georgia, instead of Camp David and the White House, and perhaps if he had paid someone to write his speeches, instead of being intelligent enough to write his own, and perhaps if he had socialized and compromised his integrity with the over-paid bureaucrats of Washington, and perhaps if he had spent his early years making grade “B” movies rather than spending his time in the navy, on a nuclear submarine and helping with the family business, perhaps if he had been a womanizer, rather than a family man, and perhaps if he had been an atheist rather than a Christian man who taught Sunday School for 25 years, he just might have won the favors of the news media, consequently the American public, consequently the presidency for a second term. In the words of James Boren, founder of the International Association of Professional Bureaucrates, “When in doubt-mumble, when in trouble-delegate, when in charge-ponder”. The present administration is definiately living up to this man’s advice. Wake up America, you’ve been napping too long!

Chuck Robb, in his heart of hearts, favors for the Democratic presidential nomination next year. Interest in the subject was fanned considerably by reports reaching Richmond in the wake of the National Governors’ Conference in Portland, Maine, earlier this month. According to these reports, Robb has confided to one of his gubernatorial colleagues that he was privately leaning toward Sen. John Glenn of Ohio for the party’s nod. Returning to Virginia, Robb promptly and firmly denied the report. He once more restated his often repeated position that he was neutral, “both publicly and privately” on a presidential choice and would remain so at least until after this year’s General Assembly elections. Very well. We take him at his word. But observers around the Capitol, duly noting the evident political realities, are confinced that when the governor eventually makes his preference known, his choice will confirm the Portland rumors. This conclusion is anchored to the basic assumption that Robb has political ambitions beyond Virginia’s governorship. If this is indeed the case, and about everything from the Capitol Square squirrels to senior administration officials agree that it is, his range of available options is fairly limited. Robb could run - or be drafted - for the U. S. Senate seat now held by GOP Sen. John Warner. That seat will be up for election next year. The governor, however, has repeatedly disclaimed interest in the Senate race. Also, the possibility of his being tapped for the vice-presidential nomination in 1984, provided the right candidate heads the ticket, cannot be ruled out. Robb’s next “window of opportunity” will not come until 1988 when Sen. Paul Trible’s term will end. A challenge to Trible’s re-election bid is generally viewed as Robb’s most likely prospect for advancing his career. It should also be noted that this will be another presidential year and, if his political fortunes continue to prosper, a spot on the national ticket will again be a possibility. But all this lies in the future. In the meantime, the governor’s main concern is making certain that his political fortunes do, indeed, prosper in preparation for whatever opportunities may lie ahead. The prime consideration here, of course, is winning high marks for his performance as governor. A close second, however, will be the quality and effectiveness of his political leadership in next year’s presidential election. If Robb can carry the state for a winning Democratic nominee - and, as a bonus, find a candidate to unhorse Warner - his stock on the national stage will soar. If, on the other hand, the Democrats nominate a candidate who is too liberal for Old Dominion tastes - and most of the present stable of Democratic hopefuls appears to be too liberal - Robb would be trapped in a “Catch 22” situation. If, say, Walter Mondale, Alan Cranston or Gary Hart should win the nomination, any showing of enthusiastic support by Robb could wreck his political future in Virginia. Yet anything less than enthusiastic support would land him in the national Democratic party’s doghouse. Those presently in the running who would appear to be more attuned to Virginia’s way of thinking are former Gov. Reubin Askew of Florida, Sen. Ernest F. Hollings of South Carolina and Glenn. Robb could support any of these without acquiring unwanted political baggage. But Robb needs more than a mere political soulmate to support next year. He needs a candidate for whom he can lead Virginia Democrats in carrying the state in the face of an expected re-election bid by President Reagan. Such a demonstration of leadership is seen as an important element of whatever the governor’s future plans may be, whether they lie at the state or national level. And since it is an important element, it is unthinkable that Robb will remain aloof from the nomination process for any extended period. Thus, whatever the qualities of the other candidates may be, the betting here is that Robb’s choice will be Glenn. Thereafter, the governor will no doubt have a highly visible role in the national drive to secure the nomination for the Ohio senator. Many of Robb’s supporters are convinced that his political future will be profoundly affected by the tactical decisions he makes during the months immediately ahead. And some are convinced that these decisions could possibly—just possibly—land him a spot on the presidential ticket next year as Glenn’s running mate, if the former astronaut wins the nomination. SUMMER READERS Douglas Kilpatrick and Suzanne and Dwight Parker drove down to Richmond with assistant librarian Pat Helmer for the Virginia Reading Festival where she accepted an award to the Rappahannock County Library for meeting the goal set for the children’s summer reading program. The kids heard folk singers, the cast from “Annie” perform selections from that hit musical and met Scooby-Doo, Yogi Bear and the governor’s wife, Linda Robb, and daughter Jennifer.

—Young Gymnasts Grow In Strength And Discipline By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock News Staff Writer ‘Today, everyone knows what gymnastic competition is like,” said John Kassel, “but years ago, it was a little-known Olympic and national event.” Kassel and his wife, Linda, are the directors of the Ponies, a gymnastics program in Fauquier County that includes boys’ and girls’ teams of all ages and skill levels. This summer John Kassel taught a gymnastics summer camp in Front Royal for children interested enough in the sport to enjoy a four-hour session each class day. At the camp, held the last two weeks of June, Kassel worked with youngsters who had had some previous experience with the sport. At Ressie Jeffress school he had them tumbling, cartwheeling, working on bars, boxes and beams. At the end of each class there was a handstand contest, with Kassel offering the prize of an ice cream cone to anyone who could hold position longer than the teacher. Not surprisingly, the teacher always won, but by the end of the -session the students were able to pose a real challenge. “This is a sport where little people can excel,” Kassel explained. “The average gymnast is a small person - that’s because so much of gymnastics is moving body weight around.” He went on to say that ages 12-15 were prime years for girl gymnasts and that most top male gymnastic athletes were older. “A twenty-year-old girl is old for a gymnast, but 18 is young for a male to be at the top in the sport. There’s few high school boys but few college girls involved in the sport,” he said. At maturity, the female athlete finds her LIFE INSURANCE TO HELP PAY BURIAL EXPENSE *500 to *5000* EVERYONE ACCEPTED Q Between Ages 46-87 * Depending on age NO SALESMAN WILL CALL Write and give us your date of birth LIFE OF AMERICA INSURANCE CORP. of BOSTON Government Center. 200 Pleasant SL, Malden.

Kassel is the coach of the Ponies Gymnastic team in Fauquier County. This summer, he organized a special workshop for interested gymnasts in Front Royal. center of gravity changed so drastically that it throws her off, he explained. “I’d like to see more mature women athletes stay with the sport,” he added. “Then we’d see a change in the routines—less agility, perhaps, but more grace.” Kassel said that the world perception of gymnastic competition has changed drastically in the past 20 years: “Until the sixties, the field was dominated by men. And it wasn’t the Eastern European event it is today. Most top gymnasts were Italian or Swiss. Then, in 1968, the women were just more innovative in the Olympics than the men.” From this competition, Kathy Rigby emerged as a popular American gymnast, sparking the beginnings of American enthusiasm for the sport. At the next Olympics in 1972, Russian Olga Korbutt won the hearts of the crowd. Private gyms popped up like mushrooms all over the country. “Now there are more than a thousand gyms that exist just for the purpose of training young gymnasts,” he said. Kassel said that the life of a young gymnast aspiring to national prominence is difficult and requires a great degree of discipline. “Most often, unless they’re lucky enough to live in the neighborhood of one of the gymnastic training centers, they live with their trainers and have special schooling, setting aside at least six hours a day for practice.” He added that there’s a lot of gym-hopping on the part of ambitious parents, who study the success of the individual coaches and send their children to whatever trainer is in favor at the mo “The Company in which you will improve most, will be least expensive to you.”—George Washington (1783) F2UQUIEE LIVESTOCK EKCHBKSE INCORPORATED REGULAR SALES Every Tues.

Young gymnasts also train at other sports designed to increase coordination and grace - notably diving and dancing. Even at the regional level, which here includes gymnasts from Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland and Delaware, competition is so intense that coaches sometimes hold their students back by having them not attempt compulsory exercises of which they are technically capable. In this manner, they continue to compete with athletes having less developed skills. This is not the philosophy at the Ponies’ training and competition sessions, which the Kassels see as providing practice, strengthening and sportsmanship for their young athletes. Safety is also a large concern: “There’s a lot of possibility for injury in the sport,” said Kassel. “We’ve been lucky—but we’ve always made safety an important part of our workouts.” Kassel went on to say that gymnasts are likely to sustain sprained wrists and ankles, but that the most common injury was blistered and tom hands. Kassel competed in gymnastics in high school and went on to join the gymnastics and diving teams at Penn State University. His wife Linda was the allaround high school gymnastics champion in 1968. After they met, they judged gymnastic meets around the region and opened the Piedmont Gymnastics Center in Manassas. After 2Vt years they wanted to move their coaching business to Fauquier, assuming that most of their Manassas students would join them there and that they’d pick up new ones from Fauquier. Since there was no available gym, they began under the auspices of the Fauquier Parks and Recreation De partment, using the Armory each week night from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. “We started with six kids,” said Kassel. “Now we have 60.” The Ponies’ success has paralleled the growth of national interest in gymnastics. At the World’s Fair in Knoxville, the gymnasts performed, along with youngsters from other regions, to a standingroom only crowd. Kassel said that, by the time he gets team members for training, they have already gone through the basic courses offered by the Parks and Recreation Department at local schools. The Ponies’ teams are divided into different levels of competition, with advance ment depending not on age or years of training, but on scores at state and regional meets. The Kassels would very much like to have some Rappahannock youngsters included in their gymnastics program. They may be reached through the Fauquier Parks and Recreation Department.

Rappahannock Journal "—Everything*s Peachy In Rappahannock County Wo all havo our favorites. Strawberry fans sing the praises of that luscious red berry. Grape afficionados rave about the wonders of concords. A legion of Johnny and Janey Appleseeds give their allegiance to the winesap, red and yellow delicious and the vork. Plum fanciers swear by the purple fruit. But at this time of year, it’s hard to beat a peach. And it’s hard to find a fruit lover who won’t declare that peaches are the best after tasting a sweet and juicy sun high, red haven, jubilee, red hale, georgia belle or Washington. Webster’s Dictionary even gives erodance to the peach’s claim to top spot on the fruit pile, defining “peachy” as “unusually fine.” Rappahannock cookts have some unusually fine recipes featuring the golden fruit that's now ripening in orchards across the county. Betty Wood can spot the tried and trues in a glance through her recipe collection. “They are the ones that are all tattered and torn,” said the RCHS home economics teacher whose husband, H.B. Wood, supplies her with all the fruit she can can and freeze from his Red Oak orchards. The recipes that have become her family’s old stand-bys all have two things in common: they’re easy and they preserve that wonderful fresh fruit flavor.

Line 4 eight-inch pie pans with heavy duty aluminum foil, leaving about five inches of foil—enough to cover the top of the pie—extending from the edges of the pie pans. Divide the peach mixture between the four pans and put pans in freezer until solid. Then remove pie pans, fold aluminum foil over the top of the filling and return to freezer. To cook, remove foil and place the unthawed filling in a pie shell. Top with butter and sprinkle with a quarter teaspoon of either cinnamon or nutmeg. Bake at 425 degrees for one hour and ten minutes or until the center is bubbling. “You can get this out of the freezer in January and it tastes just like it was made with fresh peaches straight off the tree,” Betty jromises.

Mary Miller Wood has a favorite recipe for the pickled peaches that she puts up each year with fruit from the Wood orchards in Harris Hollow. Pickled Peaches 1 quart vinegar 3 pints sugar 1 teaspoon each cloves, cinnamon and mace 7 pounds whole peeled peaches Bring vinegar, sugar and spices to a boil. Drop in whole peaches and cook until the fruit can be pierced with a straw. Pack the peaches into sterilized jars, fill with hot syrup and seal immediately. Mary Miller suggests using smaller sized peaches that aren’t too ripe for pickled fruit. In addition, experienced country cooks warn against mixing any water with the pickled peaches; putting a top on the simmering kettle and allowing the moisture that condenses on the lid to drip back into the fruit is enough to prevent jars from sealing properly. Jane Forward cooks up a peach marmalade that her friends look forward to getting—all tied up in red and green ribbon — at Christmas. But Jane is quick to refuse the credit for this delicious concoction, directing the accolades to the liq uid pectin manufactures who include the recipe in their product’s folder. Peach Marmalade 1 orange 2 lemons 2 pounds fully ripe peaches 7 cups sugar h bottle liquid pectin Remove seeds from orange and one lemon. Grind chop or slice the fruit, including peel, very finely. Combine in sauce pan with 1 cup water and 2 tablespoons of juice from second lemon and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes. Chop or grind the peaches, add to citrus mixture. Measure 4/2 cups of fruit combination into large, heavy suacepan. Bring to full, rolling boil over high heat, add 7 cups sugar and continue to boil hard for one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and immediately add liquid pectin. Stir for seven minutes, skimming foam from top. Ladle into sterilized jars and seal. Jane says the citrus and peach flavors blend well. “It’s not quite as tart as orange marmalade. The peaches tame it a little.” -No Hearings Yet On Apple Bill No hearings have been set yet on a bill being closely watched by Rappahannock orchardists. House Resolution 2711 would impose a temporary tariff on imported apple and pear juice concentrates to give the domestic industry time to proceed toward placing permanent limitations. By the end of July, the bill had 44 co-sponsors including seventh district congressman J. Kenneth Robinson. In late May Robinson issued a statement saying the bill was intended to deal specifically with nations such as Argentina where the fruit industry is government subsidized. Since foreign governments are helping their farmers, the concentrates from those countries can be sold in America at well below the domestic break-even prices. Rappahannock orchardist Sam Sneed points out that major U. S, producers are using the South American concentrates to bottle iame-brand beverages here. Sneed has joined with the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation in pushing politically for the change and also encouraging consumers to read the label before buying. He says local consumers can get better flavor and help the U. S. economy by shopping the roadside stands instead of the supermarkets. Robinson’s press secre tary Evelyn Olsen says the bill is pending before the trade subcommittee of the House ways and means committee. The subcommittee, chaired by Florida Democrat Sam Gibbons, has taken no action on the bill, according to Olsen. However, she says correspondence from Virginia’s two senators makes her believe they will co-sponsor similar legislation on the Senate side. If the committee were to bury the bill, Olsen says she thinks it would be easy “theoretically” for Virginia’s senators to attach the measure as an amendment to some other house passed bill and it would go directly to conference committee, thus effectively by-passing ways and means. H. R. 2711 was co-sponsored by seven of Virginia’s ten member delegation. PEACH BUZZ Nectarines are NOT a cross between a peach and a plum, but a fruit unto itself. These are also grown in Virginia and may be substituted for peaches in recipes. Freeze thin slices of a fresh peach, treated with ascorbic acid or lemon juice, just until firm. Serve in a glass of white wine. The frozen peach slice helps keep wine cool and looks pretty. *' Let’s Go iu Antiquing Win'liter us a lazy drive k > ilu ■ < < >ui ur\ < >r- a iri| > iiik i the t uy II y< air h< >1)1 ty is searching It >r | >re <||l ( l< >us eolleetibles (>r \ < ni're Irving i< > re| tlat e < imndiiK alter s < >ld r< x ker. \ < tu'll lint I wlt.ti \ < >u re j! looking lor ri^hl here ANTIQUE ALLEY 55 East Colonial Hwy (Old U S.

Bill Harrison Thinks Wood-Thoughts By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON KappaKannork News Staff Writer The furnishings in the Harrison’s F. T. Valley home serves as a persuasive advertisement for Bill Harrison’s new business, WoodThoughts. HORSE AND RIDER gallop across the top of Bill Harrison’s Wood-Thought weather vane. Harrison repairs and refinishes furniture, makes little knick-knacks and craft pieces of wood and creates works of art in the form of shadow box miniatures, this last venture in partnership with his father. Every comer of the comfortable frame home he shares with his wife Jeannie and their daughter Anna is filled with furniture Bill rescued from oblivion. Oak and cherry gleams with the deep lustre of a top quality finish. Tables, book cases, antique beds, a high chair, china cabinet, comer cupboard. All lovingly restored by Harrison. “You should have seen this stuff when I got it. You wouldn’t have wanted it in your house!” Bill said, smiling at the compliments on his skill but still maintaining that he’s not yet a craftsman. “I just like to take a piece of junk and make something of it,” he said. “My father always worked with wood. For as long as I can remember, I watched him. I’ve learned little by little, the hard way,” Harrison added, explaining how an avocation turned into a vocation. He jumped into the wood working business hammer first, renting shop space in Sperryville. But business is always slow for a newcomer and so he’s now pulled his operation back to the basement of his home on Route 231, at least until he can build up a clientele. “When I refinish, I like to keep the character of a piece, not make it completely new. A lot of the things people want to have refinished don’t need it,” Harrison said. For those pieces, he employs a technique he picked up at W. J. Sloan’s in Washington, D.C. “An old craftsman there taught me padding. You use padding lacquer rubbed with the grain to soften and smooth an old finish. It gives more of the original look. And it’s cheaper. A lot of furniture that has been stripped and refinished could have been padded at one-quarter of the cost.” Another one of Harrison’s favorite furniture reclamation projects is touchup work. “There’s an art to getting a cigarette bum or a nick out of a table top, matching the wood with a lacquer stick, using a bumin knife to make the edges meet. Then you rub it down with felt, go over the spot with stain and finally pencil in the grain with an artist’s brush.” It’s painstaking, delicate work but that appears to be Bill’s forte, judging from the projects he has going as a sideline to refinishing and restoration. In fact, the sidelines are more in line with the image evoked by his business name, WoodThoughts. He fashions wooden candle sticks that can grace a table or hang as sconces from a wall. He carves riders on horseback, sailing over fences or pausing before a gallop, to perch as weather vanes on a rooftop. More art than craft are the shadow boxes he’s producing in partnership with his father, who at 83 years old has earned the title of wood SHADOW BOXES, created in partnership with his 83-year-old father, are some of the unique items Bill Harrison offers through his W ood-Thoughts. Best Yet Flint Hill Fundraiser Flint Hill fire and rescue volunteers say the 1983 carnival was “the best yet.” Fire company secretary Moe Walker reports gross proceeds in excess of $35,000 and thanked all those who contributed their time, talent, and gifts, especially those who worked during the four nights of the carnival.

Castleton Area News „ MICHELE MAY Kappahannock News Correspondent *37-4031 It’s been quite a month for the Schoppets. Nancy’s old friend from California came to spend a week. Jane Lowenberg used to work with Nancy in Hawaii; now she owns an avocado ranch near Los Angeles. Anyway, Nancy says they hadn’t seen each other in about five years. A week really wasn’t long enough to catch up so Jane invited the Schoppets to the avocado ranch. Instead they went to the Bahamas for a week! There were ten taking the tropical excursion: Richard and Nancy and their four children, as well as Nancy’s mother, brother and inlaws. They had only been back for half an hour when our correspondent called Sunday evening, but were they fiill of enthusiasm for the cruise—and grateful for the cool that had descended over Castleton during their absence. Melzie Woodward says it seemed like Thanksgiving or Christmas Sunday. She wasn’t talking about the weather, though. She was talking about the family gathered together at the dinner table. John Henry and Peg, Tabbatha, Jeffrey and John, Jr.; Mr. and Mrs. Randy Sheads and their three—Dorenda, Wallie and Sherrie; and Mr. and Mrs. Walter Grimsley and their boy Andy were all there. And Melzie says even washing the dishes was fun ’cause the daughters pitched in and they all had a good talk. Gene and Donna Fisher, Wayne and Lewis spent the weekend in their trailer at the campground outside of Fredericksburg. On Sunday Mitch and Judy Hitt and Kerrie visited them (Kerrie, the star of the high diving board) and there followed a sporting event of note. You may recall the championship horseshoe pitching tournament of the 4th of July during which Mitch Hitt and Kenny Settle became local super-stars—practically asked to endorse Wheaties and all that! Well, half of the team went down to defeat last weekend. Playing with Lewis, Mitch was defeated by Gene Fisher and Judy. To hear Judy tell it, the agony of his defeat was compounded by the fact that her team had come from behind. In the third match, the two teams were tied one and one. The score stayed at 171 for the longest time, Lewis and Mitch ahead. Then suddenly, Gene and Judy had tolled up 17 to their 19. Judy’s final ringer did it. Final score 19-22. And the new champions Gene Fisher and Judy Hitt! Of course we’d still like to see Gene Fisher take on Kenny Settle. By the way, Tracy wasn’t a spectator at this sporting event. She was weekending with the Murphys in Culpeper. Her former babysitters took their houseguest to the cinema on Saturday and to the Charlottesville shopping malls on Sunday. She stayed from Friday through Monday. We missed the 25-hour visit to Castleton of a guest from Florida during the last week of July. Dave Konick’s father, Abner Konick, of Palm Beach was here. He attended the Lions Club pic nic, then went fishing with his two grandchildren. William and Doris Donald entertained about 30 people at a cook-out Saturday. This August cook-out on Aaron Mountain has become an annual event for the Capitol Chapter of Professional Secretaries, an association which counts Doris among its ranks. Still hospitable on Monday (as ever) the Donalds invited Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Bowey from Amissville for lunch. Mr. and Mrs. Donald Fridenstine recently returned from 17 days abroad. They visited Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Russia. Traveling with them were their two grandchildren, David and Lynn, from Lancaster, Va. A cook-out at the Fraziers Sunday evening brought back those darling granddaughters. Karen and Kim Colvin from Rapidan and Shannon Tharpe from Culpeper as well as her baby sister, Tanya, were among those present. Waverly and Lillian also entertained: Ellen Horton from Culpeper, Mr. and Mrs. Mark Tharpe from Culpeper, Mr. and Mrs. Granville Colvin from Rapidan and Lennie Horton from Fredericksburg. We didn’t hear about any local birthdays this week. Theresa Reynolds’ is today, but she doesn’t live in Castleton. Mike McCaffrey’s was Tuesday, but he doesn’t even live in Rappahannock. Still, we hope all their wishes come true. For, as Aunt Michele repeats frequently, “If swallows fly high, expect fair weather.” Huh? Be of good cheer. Viewtown News By MRS.
