33ra YEAR. NO. 36 USPS 433380 12 Pages THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8,1983 WASHINGTON. VIRGINIA Phone 673-3349 25* Two Arrested For 146 Plants Air Search For Marijuana Rv DAPHMP Hl'W'mwnv _ ^ “Farms” Spots Ten County Patches Rappahannock News Staff Writer State police crisscrossed Rappahannock County in helicopters last Tuesday searching for home-grown crops of marijuana. And they found what they were looking for. As of this Tuesday, Sheriff W. A. Buntin confirmed that two arrest warrants have been issued. Taken into custody last Wednesday, August 30, were Daniel Joseph Ferguson, 36, of Woodville, and his wife, Madeline Suzanne Ferguson 28. Special agent Warren Shand of the Virginia State Police, the officer in charge of the operation, said that ten seizures of the illegal ween were made in Kappahannock, the biggest haul— 146 plants—coming from the Fergusons. “We had one of 38 plants, one of 27 plants and then some that were just a couple,” Shand said. The aerial survellance here was part of a statewide crackdown on marijuana “farmers,” funded partially by the Commonwealth, according to the special agent. He said that two unmarked state police helicopters were used in the search. Neither was equipped with any type of special detection equipment. “It was a visual search. We used the old eyeballs,” Shand said. He reported that the whole county was checked. Candidate Forums Scheduled Voters will have three opportunities in October to meet, talk with and question candidates for local offices in the November 8 general election. The Rappahannock County Democratic Committee has invited all candidates appearing on the ballot—including those running for seats representing Rappahannock in the Virginia Senate and House of Delegates — to speak at a forum on October 5 at 8 p.m. in the Washington Baptist Church. According to the invitation signed by chairman Lee Bird, the purpose of the meeting is to provide candidates an opportunity to present their views of the offices they seek, to give citizens a chance to question them, and to give Rappahannock residents a chance to meet and speak informally with the candidates. Each candidate will be allotted five minutes to speak. Cards will be provided for people to write questions on, either to be passed forward or asked in place. Answers will be limited to two minutes each. On October 19 at 7:30 at the Rappahannock County Elementary School, the Rappahannock Women’s Club will be the host for a second candidates’ forum. Refreshments will be served after both meetings. The Rappahannock County Education Association is also planning a forum for supervisor candidates in October, the date to be announced. The public is invited to all of these non-partisan sessions. —Rappahannock News Photo/D.

By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock News Staff Writer The baby is crying. The phone is ringing. The toast is burning. Then hubby walks into the kitchen and says, “Can’t you even make toast right?” And so he slugs her. Again. This is the sort of incident that keeps repeating itself over the years to make battered women feel isolated, trapped and ashamed. People outside the situation have traditionally felt that no women could be vie However, he acknowledged that special attention was focused on selected hollows in response to information from law enforcement officials. Following their general procedure, the state police “nucleus” of nine troopers worked with the local sheriffs department on the sweep, the agent said. Sheriff Buntin confirmed that he had been alerted late Monday evening that the state police wanted his department’s assistance at 9:30 the following morning. Buntin and Deputy John Henry Woodward worked with troopers on the ground, following directions from spotters in the helicopters to suspected marijuana patches. Shand added that the state police drug force includes a narcotics detection dog but that the animal was not used in the Rappahannock operation. “We’ve moved on to elsewhere now," said Shand on Tuesday. “It will be another week or so before the case officers get back to Rappahannock,” he said, adding that he had “no idea” how many possible suspects would be named as a result of the ten marijuana seizures. He doesn’t expect to be back with helicopters, at least not this year. “I hope we’re through with Rappahannock County,” Shand concluded. Commonwealth’s Attorney Douglas Baumgardner, who was out of the county during the aerial sweep last Tuesday, issued a statement this week, acknowledging that “an intensive investigation of drug related activity and manufacturing” had been conducted here under the supervision of the Virginia State Police. Noting that two arrest warrants have been issued to date, Baumgardner said he is awaiting the results of the investigation before making decisions on—whether additional charges will be brought and—whether the charges, if any, will be placed by direct indictment or arrest warrant. Marshall Named RAAC Director Laurie Marshall of Slate Mills has been selected as the new executive director for the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community. She was chosdn from among 40 some applicants for the part-time position which is being funded by the Virginia Commission for the Arts and RAAC. As executive director, Marshall will coordinate all RAAC functions, plan programs, organize fund raisers, coordinate volunteers and manage publicity. A graduate of Antioch College with a bachelor’s degree in history and education, Marshall has a master’s degree in community art. She has taught art at the American Museum of Natural History, Brooklyn Museum, in New York City and worked four years as a counselor with a community mental health clinic in Washington, D.C. Since moving to Rappahannock County six years ago, she has designed and taught an art program for the elderly under the sponsorship of the Rappahannock Rapidan Area Agency on Aging. An employee of the County’s public school system for two years, she designed and taught classes for gifted and talented students at both the elementary and high schools. Mashall describes herself as “a practicing artist—a painter, dancer and writer. She is married to Rex Slack, painter and miniaturist whose works have been exhibited in galleries in Washington, D.C., and the West Virginia Museum as well as in the county at Washington’s Middle St. Gallery. The couple has a ninemonth-old son. Asked if she has in mind any specific programs that, as executive director, she would like to see instituted by RAAC, Marshall said plans are still in very early developmental stages. “But I \Vant RAAC to be of service to the children in our area, to our older citizens and our handicapped citizens, as well as the general public.” Spouse Abuse Is A Growing Concern timized. They chose to believe that the victim was to blame for her own misfortune. That sort of attitude made her feel even more isolated. And so she stayed. She stayed because she believed her husband each time he apologized and promised to change. She stayed because the children needed a father. She stayed because she had no money. She stayed because she thought she could stop doing all the things that made her husband so mad. She stayed because she had nowhere to go. But nowadays there are places to go. There are 34 women’s shelters in the state. Myths Shattered In Rappahannock there are trained volunteers who can discuss the battering myths with victims and show them how to use available community services. These anonymous volunteers work through the Culpeper Womens’ shelter which opened in June, 1981 to help battered women throughout the ninth planning district. “I am understandably reluctant to release any additional information regarding this investigation at this time, particularly when it is considered that 1 have not yet reviewed and been provided with all the information and evidence obtained by the state police. 1 would, however, anticipate an additional statement regarding this matter within the near future," the commonwealth’s attorney said. Search Finds “White Powder" According to records on file in the clerk's office, it’s possible that more than marijuana was found at the Ferguson’s residence near Wootlville, 1 • mile west of Route f>2'2 just otT Route 021. On Thursday, September 1, magistrate Clarissa I.e^ett issued a search warrant to trooper C. S. Voskay to search the Kerjjttson residence for marijuana, tools, seeds and other items including records, used in the manufacture of the illegal weed. In obtaining the warrant, Voskay affirmed that at least 100 marijuana plants wert* spotted from the air at the Ferguson residence. Called to tlu* site by the state police helicopter, the trooper wrote that he also saw plants in an outbuilding behind the the residence. A state police officer for over 10 .veal's, Voskay noted that he had made at least 50 drug arrests and had been trained in the identification of marijuana. The list of items confiscated at the Ferguson's includes paperbags containing marijuana residue, a small brown bottle of white powder, a “toot" spoon, plastic bags of marijuana, marijuana leaves found pressed between the pages of books, roach clips and papers, photographs of the suspects and marijuana, packages, film cannisters and bottles of marijuana seeds and a letter from an attorney to the accused. Daniel Ferguson was (Continued on Page 2) 3.21 inches rain x $? 30% crop reduction 86.2 degrees Drought Damage By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The figures aren’t in yet on how much money Rappahannock farmers have lost during the drought. Sperryville weather watcher Dennis Wingfield says his measured precipitation totaled 3.21 inches during the first four weeks of August and the average daytime temperature was 86.2 degrees. That’s an inch less of rain than during the same period last year. ASCS manager Tom Taylor says predicting a 30 percent average crop reduction this year is a conservative estimate. Extention agent Birgitt Thornhill says she specifically expects a 30 percent reduction in the peach crop because of sizing. In other words, if it takes twice as many peaches to fill a bushel that sells for $7-9 dollars, the* farmer suffers a 50-percent reduction in income even if prices stay at last year’s level. The same situation threatens Rappahannock's apple crop this year, Thornhill added. Apples are now sized at 1-2 'A inches; and without rain they could be 50 percent smaller by harvest time than they were last year. The monetary loss from the stunted corn crop is due to its use as corn silage rather than being combined this year. Thornhill adds that “anybody who planted late corn lost it totally.” The same for anybody who planted a second crop of hay. If the first crop didn't yield enough to get through the winter, the economic loss is compounded by the cost of livestock feed. Across the state corn producers are currently weighing whether to harvest the drought-stressed corn as silage. Rather than looking purely at profitability, producers are simply hoping to recover out-of|M>cket expenses to date. According to figun*s on selling standing corn supplied to Thornhill, the crop has a “floor" fertility value of about $58 per acre or $<>.50 per ton. The bottom price assumes a nine ton silage crop with a 20-25 percent dry matter value typical of green standing corn with little or no ear development. This amount includes the value of nutrients and organic matter if the crop was returned to the soil. At Northern Virginia prices it costs $150-175 per acre to produce corn. That amount includes interest, but not labor.

Sheila Scott what to look for during a "quick access preplan” tour at Countryside Floor Fashions. Amissville fire-fighters are taking time now to help save time, property and lives later. Fire company president Carl James says pre-planning surveys are being made of 22 businesses in the two districts served by the Amissville fire volunteers. Amissville responds to areas along Route 211 in Rappahannock and Route 22ft in Culpeper. James says he expects to have surveys of the Jeffersonton community center, the gun shop, Countryside Car|>ets, Jenkins’ garage, the Viewtown Store and Hackley’s Store and all area churches. During the surveys fire volunteers note any special problems that might occur in the building during a fire. Floor plans and site plans are made and locations of valuable property are noted. An example James gave were the records that would put a company out of business if they were lost. Other special problems James pointer! out were explosives at the gun shop or chemicals near the carpet store. During an emer(Continued on Page 2) When the Culpeper shelter is filled, the volunteers have a reciprocal agreement with the Rappahannock Council on Domestic Violence to use the shelter in Fredericksburg. The Lord Fairfax Planning District’s Council on Domestic Violence and the Warren County Council on Domestic Violence operate the shelter in Winchester for victims in those areas plus Clarke and Frederick Counties. Mary O’Meara of Slate Mills helped organize the shelter in Culpeper and was a volunteer there for about a year during what she calls “the early stages.” O'Meara left to do graduate studies at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond where she received a M.A. degree in social work in May. Now a crisis intervention worker at the University of Virginia Hospital. O’Meara works not only with battered women, but also abused children, rape victims, alcoholics and patients suffering from anxiety attacks and other emotional emergencies. O’Meara says her goal is to work with a variety of people to get experience in a cross section of eases, then come home to Rappahannock and help people here. Shelter Needed Here Eventually she would like to see Rappahannock have its own womens’ shelter. While the Culpeper shelter is open to Rappahannock residents, O’Meara says she wonders how many victims are aware of its existence. (Abused women may contact volunteers by calling (Continued on Page 2)

HELP Continued from Page 1 the Culpeper Mental Health Department at 825-5656.) Regarding her work with the Culpeper shelter, O'Meara says she saw the project as “terribly important” adding, “It’s a very special kind of problem to be trapped in your own home by violence.” Most people don’t understand the extreme dependency common to battered women. Battered women believe their spouses to have almost super-human powers. They are constantly aware that their batters can easily kill them. Yet they conceal violent incidents to protect their batterers because they are afraid to fend for themselves and have low self esteem. O’Meara says efforts at womens’ shelters should be to build up that self-esteem and at the same time to educate the public that these women are crime victims just as surely as though they had been raped and robbed by a stranger. “With increased publicity.” she added, “women who knew it fiappaJratuiocb Nettie g Rappahannock & Adjoining Counties per year $8.00 I Elsewhere in the U S. per year $10.00 I Outside the U.S. per year $8.00 plus postage I SUBSCRIPTION RATES BY MAIL • ALL PAYABLE IN ADVANCE [ ( ) New ( ) Renewal ( ) Check Enclose^ .

Battering Cycle The grounds for this help is a psychological pattern known as the battering cycle. Abusive husbands typically feel ashamed and apologetic after a violent incident. They become loving and attentive. But then the tension begins to build until an apparently trivial incident creates an uncontrolable rage and the wife is surprised by another attack. As the relationship continues, violence escalates. The tension building stage moves more rapidly to the battering stage. The only way out of this cycle is through intervention. One of the parties must get help or r one of them is likely to leave the situation in a casket. Juries have shown an increased tendency to find self-defence in cases where battered women kill their husbands, even though it may have been a while since the last beating. An early case of this type was the 1977 Francine Hughes “burning bed” murder case in Lansing, Mi. Hughes was acquitted after she poured gasoline around the bed where her husband was sleeping, then set fire to the house and burned him to death. Her lawyer convinced the jury that Hughes had been abused for so many years that she finally snapped and just killed her husband to finally be free. She knew that if she didn’t get rid of him, he would eventually kill her, her lawyer maintained. Recent increased public awareness has encouraged legislators in Virginia to deal with some of the old problems. A bill introduced by Senator Charles Colgan, of Manassas, for the third If You Believe Any Of These, Youre Wrong... Twenty Myths* 1. The battered woman syndrome affects only a small percentage of the population. 2. Battered women are masochistic. 3. Battered women are mentally ill. 4. Middle-class women do not get battered as frequently or as violently as do poorer women. 5. Minority-group women are battered more frequently than are anglos. 6. Religious beliefs will prevent battering. 7. Battered women are uneducated and have few job skills. b. Batterers are violent in all their relationships. 9. Batterers are unsuccessful and lack resources to cope with the w*orld. 10. Drinking causes battering behavior. 11. Batterers are psychopathic personalities. 12. Police can protect the battered woman. 13. The batterer is not a loving partner. 14. A wife batterer also beats the children. 15. Once a battered woman, always a battered woman. 16. Once a batterer, always a batterer. 17. Long-standing battering relationships can change for the better. 1K Battered women deserve to get beaten. 19. Battered women can always leave home. 20.

It was designed to protect mothers with abusive husbands who have nowhere to go. Colgan proposed that magistrates be allowed to restrict the father’s visits to the family until an assault case could be heard in court. Before introducing S.B. 100, Colgan also received a 1982 attorney general’s opinion that existing laws allow the magistrate to keep an abuser aaway from his house after he is arrested. The magistrate can either require the accused to be detained in jail until the hearing or may restrict him while he is free on bond. New Laws Help Two new laws this year allow for a warrentless arrest and for a court to order an abuser to stay away from his family during divorce proceedings. One of the most frustrating aspects of domestic violence for the police has been the need for an officer to actually witness an assault be fore he could make an arrest unless the wife was willing to sign a warrant. Naturally an abuser would behave in the presence of police; and most battered women were afraid of revenge if they signed a warrant. Now an officer may arrest on “probably cause” when responding to a domestic dispute. This change is expected to raise the conviction rate because an officer can still testify in court if the wife wants to drop charges. It is quite common for women to drop charges either because they believe their husbands will change or because they fear a worse beating after their husbands get free. The difficulty of conviction has always made domestic cases frustrating to police. The results never justified the cost. Approximately 40 percent of all police injuries occur in the course of domestic quarrel calls. Nearly one-fifth of all officers killed in America were responding to spouse abuse cases. Yet most cases never went to court. Drought Damage Continued from Page 1 diminished the yield by 50 percent, the crop must be sold for $19.44 per ton as silage to recover expenses. High quality com silage is currently worth $30 per ton, but drought-stressed com silage is only worth about 80 percent of a typical well eared silage. So drought affected silage is valued at $24 per ton. That’s the figure at which the bargaining process begins. Farmers will strike a deal somewhere between $6.50$24 while the buyer substracts for transportation, storage, ha vesting and hiring helpers. Board Reacts Aware of the farmers’ plight, Rappahannock supervisors yesterday passed a resolution to request declaration of the county as a drought disaster area. The supervisors were meting on a letter from Tom Taylor, Birgitt Thornhill, soil conservation agent Lou Walters and supervisors chairman Richard Latham. The four had met August 26 to assess the extent of drought damage in Rappahannock County. Now county officials will send a letter to the governor’s office requesting an official declaration of disaster status. In this way, area farmers would become eligible for low interest loans and low cost livestock feed. Neighboring counties previously requested disaster status. Fauquier County’s petition was one of the first three received in Richmond and Culpeper joined the list Tuesday. Meanwhile state agriculture commissioner S. Mason Carbaugh attended a Chicago meeting last Friday to learn about a nationwide emergency relief program for farmers. The drought discussion was held by U.S. agriculture secretary John Block; Carbaugh was one of two representatives from the governor’s office. Also attending was OEES (Office of Emergency and Energy Services) secretary Kim Anderson. By the end of last month. Governor Robb had asked Block for emergency aid for eight Virginia counties, including Fauquier. After reviewing Rappahannock’s request, Robb must refer the request to Block for formal federal action before local farmers would become eligible for financial assistance. USD A officials estimate food prices will rise one percent due to drought and federal agricultural officials say the nation’s farmers have suffered approximately seven billion dollars worth of damage so tar. in Virginia the losses are expected to total at least $200 million. The state agriculture commissioner has determined that at least 25 counties are eligible for federal drought disaster assistance. The cause of this dry spell, which some farmers are comparing to the drought during the great depression, is a combination of factors. With just one-third the normal rainfall during July and August, intense heat, and no dew, things would be dry enough. A compounding factor is the lack of the cool westerly winds that usually keep this country’s crops healthy during the summer. This year those w inds have gone north to Canada. Of all the state’s farmers and gardeners, only one group has any good news. The vineyards will produce a prize wine this year. Smaller grapes are more mature and have a more highly concentrated flavor.

BY: RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION A.Y. STOKES, CHAIRMAN Virginia’s other new law forbids the defendent in a divorce case from visiting the home if his spouse can show a reasonable fear of physical harm. However, if the property is jointly owmed, there’s a 15 day time limit to the stay away order and so an early court hearing is encouraged. Rappahannock Sheriff W. A. Buntin estimates that his department responds to “at least ten” spouse abuse cases each month. “We get a lot of them,” he says, adding that Rappahannock victims feel a little confusion about going through the Culpeper shelter because while it’s in the same planning district as Rappahannock, Culpeper is in a separate judicial district. Thus, victims need home town help in getting legal action, he says. Commonwealth attorney Douglas Baumgardner reports approximately six or seven cases come to court each month, but about 80 percent of those are dismissed when the abused spouse decides to drop charges. Lee Nettles at the Rappahannock Mental Health clinic says his office makes about half a dozen referrels each year to the Culpeper Women’s Shelter. But the majority of cases stay at home or can stay with family or friends for a few days, then return home to reconcile with their husbands. The number of referrals made by the mental health clinic is added to those made els ‘where; other mental heali’1 counselors, social services workers, private physicians, clergymen. Nettle says his office is no longer affiliated with the Culpeper shelter, but added, “It's a very good service. They do a good job down there.” In the Middle Ages a man’s right to beat his wife went unquestioned while a woman who so much as argued with her husband could be burned alive. A vestige of that culture remains in modern America. It’s fairly common when the country music song “Good Old Boys” starts out, “I didn’t mean to hit you, honey; I was aiming at the man.” The singer goes on to say it was the woman’s fault anyway for dancing with the man and making her husband jealous. Mary O’Meara says people still joke a lot about things like that, but it’s “not a humorous thing anymore.” In her job, she sees the blood. “I don’t think that’s funny,” she says, “I have a hard time laughing at things like that.” NOTICE The Planning Commission of Rappahannock County has received from the Advisory Committee an application for a tagon to the existing Jenkins Mountain Agricultural and Forestal District in the Hampton Magisterial District of Rappahannock County, Virginia.

Clint Donovan Keeps Alive The Mountaineers9 Way Of Life »y UArHiNt HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff .Writer A half century ago, the hollows in the Blue Ridge were home to ruggedly independent mountain people. They were self-sufficient men and women, trapping, hunting and growing most of their food, doctoring their ills with herbal medicine, playing music on homemade banjos and guitars and spinning tall ta les for entertainment. They brewed moonshine and spiked their leisure time with a chug or two. Those mountain folk are gone now, moved down to the flat lands when Shenandoah National Park was created. Their way of life has largely disappeared. Only bits and pieces are preserved by stories handed down to grandchildren and collected by historians in such books as the Foxfire senes. But here and there, living reminders of that mountain culture still survive. A few are blood descendants of those hardy mountaineers. Some, like Clint Donovan, are spiritual sons and daughters. Donovan was born in Nelson County. Virginia, some (50 years ago. His family trekked to the Ohio River Valley when he was just a little boy and eked out a living on a farm there during the Great Depression. “That’s where I learned to catch turtles and fish.

Then the “scrivener" (a person who could write) wrote the agreement on some kind of durable material so it couldn’t be erased or altered.

But he swears that he would never have wired the house for power. “It was there when I got here. ’’ Other so-called necessities are missine from Donovan’s home.

A Lesson On Stalking The Snapping Turtle By CLINT DONOVAN When hunting season is over and you want to add a little variety to your menu, why don’t you try stalking the snapping turtle? The snapper is a cold blooded reptile who spends the winter hibernating in the muddy shallows of ponds, streams and lakes. When spring comes, they start to roam, looking for food to curb a voracious appetite. To Catch The Turtle I caught my first turtle when I was 12 years old. It was in the 1930s and the Great Depression lay over the land. I was carrying the sack to put the turtles in and my oldest brother, Gilbert, was “snoodling” the turtle. To “snoodle” a turtle, you wade into a stream or pond where the water is about waist deep and reach your hand under the roots of trees or under the bank until you feel a turtle. Run your hands over his shell until you feel his tail and, taking a firm grip on it, pull him out. Make sure you hold him by the tail. A snapper’s long neck is easily able to reach fingers if they’re gripping the shell sides. So, I repeat, carry them by the tail, well away from your body. A snapper’s hooked, uneven, blunt, notched jaws are sharp as a razor. A bite can result in a nasty, jagged wound. Keep your hands away from the turtle’s mouth or the reptile is apt to take hold and hang on for eternity. Another method of catching turtles is to cut yourself 10 or 12 stakes about 18 inches high. Sharpen the ends into points and drive into the ground. Attach a string, 60 pound test, to each stake. The string should be at least eight to ten feet long. Then put a number two fish hook on the end of each line. Stinky Bait Now you are ready for the bait. What do you use? Contrary to popular belief, snapping turtles do not decimate game, fish and waterfowl populations. A very large turtle will take a small duck and all turtles feed on fish to some degree but they are basically aquatic trash compactors, gobbling up anything they can swallow. Take dead rabbits, dead groundhogs, anything that stinks and a turtle will eat it. Personally, I prefer to bait my hooks with chicken gizzards. But use whatever turns you on. The turtle will eat it. Cleaning The Turtle In days gone by, the old timers would put turtles in a “swim barrel” and fatten them up for a couple of weeks before cleaning. It isn’t really necessary to fatten them but when you get your turtle home, put him in a tub of clean, cool water and let him swim around for an hour or more. Most of the grime should work loose as the turtle swims around in the water. When you’re ready to butcher the turtle, get yourself a large pair of pliers, eight to ten inches, and hold the pliers in front of the turtle’s head. Put your foot on the turtle’s back and press down. Have a large knife within reach. When the turtle strikes at the pliers and clamps his jaws on them, take the knife and with a quick cut at the base of the neck, neatly sever the head. Now, hand the turtle up by the tail to bleed. After the blood has drained, lay the turtle on its back. Take your knife and starting at the head, cut around the shell. Cut off and throw away the tail. (You may skin the tail if you wish but it is very hard to do.) Skin each leg and neck. Take your knife and remove the bottom plate. Cut out each leg and the neck and put them in a pan of cold water with one teaspoon of baking soda. Soak overnight. The baking soda removes all the ugly odors of the turtle. In the morning, thoroughly rinse the meat to remove the baking soda. Put in bags and store in the freezer. Turtle And Pancakes Simmer the turtle meat until tender. Drain, pat dry and roll the meat in pancake batter. Fry just as you would chicken. Drain excess grease and fry pancakes in the same skillet. (Add chopped onion to the batter to make hush puppies.) r ELECT MARTIN LUIS ORFILA FOR SHERIFF OF RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY 8 years law enforcement experience Former Rappahannock Deputy Sheriff Virginia State Trooper “I will be proud to serve you.” PRINTED BY AUTHORITY OF CLARA WOODARD, TREAS.

Hall when the famous singer was performing at his sister's bar. The bottle on the table is one of the few things that Clint doesn't hunt or grow , liquid refreshment he refers to jokingly as his “condiment.” | According to (’lint, the stove will hold two or three unsplit logs, more like small tree trunks, and will burn for 48 hours without attention. Clint doesn’t consider himself much of a culinary artist. “The only reason 1 learned to cook was that I got divorced in ’(> 1 and a man’s got to eat. 1 had to show how independent 1 was, that I didn’t need a woman around pesterin’ me”, he explained, chuckling. While the stove may not be used for too many gourmet meals, Donovan keeps it stoked during summer and fall months while he preserves the harvest from his large and productive garden. Shelves in the kitchen and pantry are stacked with jars, one on top of the other until there’s no room for more, even to squeeze in a last little half-pint. Donovan has tomatoes, both red and yellow, tomato juice, green beans, carrots, lima beans, saurkraut, sweet pickles, hot peppers, sour pickles, relish, beets, corn, blackberry jelly, wineberry syrup, plums, peaches, applesauce. “I live high on the lion!" lit* proclaimed, waving his gnarled and sun tanned hand from row to row of jars shin ing with the lirillant colors of nature. In the tradition of the mountaineers, (lint takes most of what lie,eats from the land, .lust as his garden and fruit trees stock the shelves in his kitchen, the woods, ponds and streams stock his freezer. He hunts the deer that travel the hills behind his home, grinding most of the meat into burger with the old manual grinder he has hooked up to a discarded motor from a well pump. He hunts turkey, holding himself as still as a frightened lawn until he blends into the forest. “I do things the easy way," he maintained, pointing out one of the black vinyl seats that he has scattered over the mountain, easy chairs in the hunting field. Clint hunts groundhog. "It's some kind of good eatin'. All you have to do is he sure you get out the kernels, the dark red musk glands that are under the front legs."

He dips the parboiled pieces in pancake batter and fries them .just as lie would a batch of drumsticks. The smaller chunks of turtle meat are dropped into boiling water and cooked down with assorted vegetables for soup. He catches snappers in nearby ponds, either by reaching under the banks with his hands and feeling for a tail (snoodling) or hooking them on a line baited with a rotten chicken gizzard.

Mon Fri. , Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company Inc ' Member Audit Bureau of Circulation >■- --- Thursday, September 8, 1983 Crucial Time Next week, Governor Charles Robb is expected to make his announcements of funding awards in the latest block grant cycle. Sperryville and all of Rappahannock County is awaiting word. Completion of the sewer project that will clean up the pollution in the Thornton River hinges on that block grant. The Rappahannock’s Water and Sewer Authority has put in long hours on the $500,000 block grant application and an already approved funding request for $1.4 million from the federal Environmental Protection Agency and the State Water Control Board. But the real work will begin when — and there’s still an “if’ — the block grant is awarded, according to John Capelle, executive director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission who assisted with both grant applications. At that point, the informal and relaxed Water and Sewer Authority meetings will have to be conducted by the books. The members will be charged with administering about $2 million in state and federal funds. Some of the work will be charged against the federal grant, some against the state block grant. The project will have to be reviewed constantly to ensure that the budget is not exceeded. Easements will have to be secured across all the lots in the Sperryville service district. It is possible - even probable - that some disgruntled property owners who do not see the benefits of having clean ground water, an unpolluted . river and properly functioning sewage disposal system will have to be taken to court and legally forced to hook onto the sewer lines. With the exception of treasurer Robert Dennis, all the current members of the county’s Water and Sewer Authority are residents of Sperryville. Understandably, several have expressed reservations about having to adopt a “get tough” policy with their neighbors. They’re dealing with people they have to talk to every day in the post office, at the Corner Store and on the street. They don’t want to take those people to court, even while they understand and agree with the necessity of that course. When and if that block grant is awarded to Rappahannock by Governor Robb next week, those members want to retire from the WSA. The odds are good that the county will receive the state money necessary to build a sewer system affordable to the residents of Sperryville. If that happens, the Rappahannock supervisors should start looking for new possibilities for members of the Water and Sewer Authority. They do not necessarily have to live in Sperryville. They do have to be able to withstand pressure for pressure there will be if condemnations are called for. They do have to have organizational and administrative abilities for they must make sure that the $2 million — and only $2 million — is spent according to federal and state rules and regulations. If we get the block grant next week, the present members of the Water and Sewer Authority will have done their work. If some want to resign, their resignations should be graciously accepted with understanding of the very valid reasons behind their decision and with thanks for a job well done. Then the vacancies on the WSA should be filled with hard nosed replacements who can supervise the construction of Sperryville’s desparatelv needed and long delayed sewer system. Computers At Large By EUGENE McCarthy Rappahannock News (iuest C olumnist The story of how a pair of youthful computer experts broke into the Los Alamos National Laboratory computer (which by report contains sensitive defense information) and continuing stories of how money or title to it and information of sensitive and personal character is being illegally or extra-legally taken from computers have stirred a rash of commentary. Some commentators are relieved to know that it is possible to find out what the government is up to, whether in the field of nuclear arms or in its handling of citizens’ affairs. Others, who favor more government security, are disturbed. Some observers agrue that there should b^ more control over the use of computers; others say that the computer is innocent and that the problem is basically a human one. Some analyists of social behavior and guardians of the common good say that the kids who broke into the major computer systems should be punished as an example. But at least one such guardian says that they should be rewarded for demonstrating that the people * can watch the watchers and find out what the government or big business and financial institutions know about the people. Joseph Weizenbaum, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has contributed the philosophical comment that “there is no such thing as absolute safety,” not in or outside the computers. He is right. But if one looks for relative security and privacy, or for what is left of either, there is evidence that both are still to be found and enjoyed in Rappahannock County. It is Poet, author, former U. S. Senator from Minnesota and candidate for the presidency, Eugene McCarthy now lives in the F. T. Valley near Slate Mills. not likely that a computer will embezzle money, for example, from the Rappahannock National Bank. The telephone lines here are reasonably secure and even the integrity of party lines is high. More important than these evidences of local security of property and person is the evidence that the big national, possibly even international, computers have not quite discovered or defined life in this county. I cite two recent examples that are reassuring. A few months ago. I received a very enticing offer from the Readers’ Digest. I have forgotten all of the details of the offer, but basically, a whole field of possibilities were opened up to me in return for an initial six months’ subscription to the magazine. My early indifference seemed to irritate the Digest computer, which following my failure to respond to the first shining offer, chided me for my insensitivity. I was beginning to feel some quilt, when there arrived through the mail another ultimate offer, or promise, or enticement, which was that if I hurried and did what the Digest computer wanted me to do, I might somehow come to ow n a “second house” in Woodville, Va. I concluded that Woodville was not fully understood by the Digest computer. Having hardened by resolve against the Digest appeals, even the prospect of that second home in Woodville, I was struck by another computerized appeal. This one from the Smithsonian Institution, which opened its communication, with this disarming note, “I know you receive many personal (i.e. computer printed] invitations, but this is special." The letter assured me that I was “one of a small group” of Woodville Residents (capitalized) invited to become National Associates of that prestigious Institution. I have not checked with the boys who sit on the post office stoop each morning, waiting for the mail to be distributed, to see which ol them is included in the small group that has been favored and identified by the Smithsonian computer, but will dc so next Monday. Our Rappahannock Heritage Aims Explained To the editor: Your front and center coverage of the first meeting of a group concerned about improvements in the Rappahannock public schools was a bit overwhelming. I am pleased that many more people now know about our concerns: at the same time 1 am troubled that some folks may have misunderstood some key points, namely: 1. The group was formed by citizens interested in recommending specific improvements at reasonable costs. 2. The agenda you published is definitely prelimi nary. We need specific suggestions from more people with different viewpoints. For example there was no discussion of vocational course improvements. The agenda is not intended only for the "elite” or college-bound student. 3. As taxpayers we are concerned with the cost of our recommendations being reasonable. When the agenda is finalized it will contain a cost estimate for each recommendation. 4. We want the final agenda to be supported by most, if not all, of the supervisor candidates, as well as most of Rappahannock's citizens. This requires a lot of compromises between what might be great for the schools (more courses, big raises, large new buildings), and what is reasonable for Rappahannock to afford. 5. The group is not political and will not endorse any candidates. We will recommend improvements on behalf of the school children, whose futures are most important. For they do not have the wisdom, resources or hindsight to be responsible for their own education. BARNEY O'MEARA Slate Mills An Overview Of 150 Years Friday, September 9, the first presentation of a five part lecture series celebrating Rappahannock County’s 150th birthday will be given at 7:30 p.m. in the Gay Street Theater in Washington. Robert Jacobs, a professional researcher and history professor at James Madison University, will speak of the topic “150 Years-An Overview”. A slide show7 will accompany the talk. Admission is free and all are w elcome. Friday’s lecture and the remainder of the series will look at Rappahannock’s unique cultural history with an eye to her future and will also be applicable to all of rural America and the changes which are affecting it now. The lectures will be held every other Friday evening starting September 9. The series is sponsored by the Rappahannock Association for Arts and the Community, (RAAC), and by a grant from the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities and Public Policy, whose principal aim is to fos ter discussion in a non partisan context issues of concern to citizens of the Common wealth of Virginia.

AN 11 POUND CAT — Clint Donovan will fi mountain king with this giant he hooked in a nea blue gill, native brook trout and bass in the hollc once a year, travels to Occoquan when the herri back a net full. -From Both Barrels Playing Politics With Schools By GEORGE BOWLES Republican strategists, it seems, have discovered that there are a few problems with education in the nation and in the Commonwealth. They have also concluded that these problems might be built into a campaign issue which could be used to advantage against their Democratic opponents in this fall’s General Assembly elections. At least that is the only conclusion which can reasonably be drawn from a remarkable speech made a fortnight ago by Helen Obenshain, Virginia’s national Republican committeewoman. Ms. Obenshain, who had just returned from a GOP strategy conference in Texas, addressed a meeting of the Republican State Central Committee in Richmond. She was all fired up about what she had learned. At the conference, she had discovered the widely publicized report of the National Commission on Educational Excellence. The report, which was released earlier in the summer, is entitled A Nation at Risk. “Education is a Republican issue!” declared Ms. Obenshain. “This is an issue all of our candidates can take to the people. It s an issue we can win with!” Then she added a somewhat surprising partisan note. “Chuck Robb is trying to climb on the education bandwagon,” she said, “but we’re not going to let him steal our issue. I don’t think education was even a part of his platform, but it’s been a part of ours, going all the way back to 1980.” Reporters present, and perhaps a lew oi me republican officials, must have wondered where on earth Ms. Obenshain has been for the past couple of years. During the 1981 gubernatorial campaign, the improvement of education was one of the main themes of Robb’s drive for the governorship. In his inaugural address in January 1982, he placed education at the top of his administration’s agenda for action. In the first 18 months of his term, the funding and improvement of education has been the centerpiece of his budget proposals, and a task force is at work assessing the state’s educational needs for the remainder of the century. Even making the most liberal allowances for partisan rhetoric, it is hard to see how Robb can be called a Johnny-come-lately to educational concerns. But there was something even more unsettling in Ms. Obenshains’s remarks. That was her seeming willingness to make education a political football in future elections. It is probably fair to say that the responsible leadership of both parties in Virginia have avoided this like a plague in the past. Education has properly been treated as a bundle of problems to be solved on a bipartisan basis, and not issues to be fought over as Republican or Democratic concerns. To be sure, there have been plenty ot fights over education in the legislature and elsewhere. There have been rip-snorting debates over funding, standards of quality and scores of other questions. But generally speaking these have not broken out along party lines. Certainly neither party has claimed a copyright on wisdom when it comes to attacking the infinitely complex problems associated with educational improvement. It would be irresponsible in the extreme for either party to attempt to stake out such a claim now. Under recent governors, both Republican and Democratic, the state has, in the last two decades, finally entered the 20th century in education. Progress has been slow—at times painfully slow—but progress has been made. In some areas it has, in the end, been impressive. But one sure way to stall that progress is for overzealous politicians to attempt to assert that education is their party’s private turf. A bi-partisan approach to improving education in Virginia has worked well in the past. It should be kept that way. Park Visits Down The national park service released figures this week showing that August visits at Shenandoah National Park were down 4.31 percent from August, 1982. The number counted coming through all entrance stations last month was 257,600 compared with 269,200 during the same month last year. The overnight stays last month were 79,194 compared to 83,910. For the year to date, however, attendence has increased. So far the 1983 gate count has been 1,145,700, an increase of 1.13 percent over last year’s visits through the end of August. Last year the number by that date came to 1,132,900. Overnight stays to date have been 293,213 compared to 308,988 by August 31,1982.

He works all his life, he slaves to earn a living and he gets heart trouble. Then he works and slaves all the harder. For what? He wants more money. But for what? You have clothes on your back, food in your stomach and a roof over your head. Everything else is a luxury. You don’t need luxuries for a good life. This is the good life.”

Apple Bill Bogged Down A bill being witched by Rappahannock tfchardists that would tax foreign fruit concentrates ren^ins buried in committee. The bill’s-ch^f sponsor, Guy Vander Jaft of Michigan’s 9th District, serves on the trade subommittee of the House Waf and Means Committee wijere the bill was referred ;last spring. Vander Jagt represents a heavy apple Rowing region in Western Mchigan; he introduced thebill at the request of theflichigan Farm Bureau. H.R. 27^ also is supported by tb Virginia Farm Bureau Fee ration. It was co-sponsord by seven of the state’s ter member delegation, irduding seventh district fongressman J. Kenneth Robinson. Vander Jagt’s press secretary James Sparling says the tax amounts to a “tiny percentage” of the value of the apple and pear concentrates being imported from Argentina and other South American countries. Sparling says the bill was introduced because producers had “no legitimate means to lodge any protest.” If the bill is passed, farmers would have the vehicle to fight the foreign imports which are being sold far below domestic break-even prices. According to local orchardist Sam Snead, most of the name brand products in the supermarkets that are bottled from concentrate contain Argentine apple juice. No hearings have been set yet on H.R. 2711, but Sparling says Vander Jagt requested them several weeks ago. During 1982, imported apple juice concentrate represented the equivalent of nearly 31 million bushels of apples, according to figures supplied by the Michigan Farm Bureau. This volume had increased by 36 percent over the amount imported the year before and constituted more than 40 percent of total United States apple juice sales. The Farm Bureau says the imported concentrates take a larger share of the American market each year.

Ragged Play, Mental Errors Cost Panthers TWo —Rappahannock News Photo/Ginger Perry UP IN THE AIR — Karen Jordan puts in two for Rappahannock. By .ion McCullough and DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Intimidation was the name of the game at the opening buzzer in Tuesday night’s home contest as Luray’s power forward Jennifer Tutt drove down the lane to score back-to-backto-back jumpers, showing Rappahannock’s Lady Panthers who controlled the court. The Wildcats pushed the Panthers off balance and kept them there. Rappahannock’s girls struggled to regain their composure but couldn’t keep momentum long enough as the visitors put them away in the fourth quarter, scoring 11 points to RCHS’s four. Tutt opened the scoring for Luray and then demonstrated her defensive skills bv smacking down the first shot put up by Karen Jordan, the Panther’s top point getter who totalled 40 in last week’s game against Warren County. The Rappahannock cagers started the second pe riod down by five, 8-13. But they found their game, controlling the tempo on the court and exploding on offense with well-timed passes. The Panther’s defense stopped the Wildcats’ fast break and by the half, the home team trailed by only two, 22-20. Tremendous effort on both the' offensive and defensive boards kept the Panthers in contention in the third period. Down by four, 32-36, at the start of the final quarter, they were well positioned to challenge Lurav. But the girls from Rappahannock fell apart. They sent the Wildcats to the foul line repeatedly while the visitors played practically violation free ball. The taller Luray squad dominated the boards, getting off two and three shots. Then when the Panthers got the ball, they turned it over again and again with sloppy passing, tossing it either out of bounds or to an opponent. With six minutes left, Luray had stretched the advantage to 32-42, playing poised, controlled ball under the direction of veteran helmsman Jim Logan, former boys varsity basketball coach at RCHS. But even down by 10, the Rappahannock girls still had i chance to pull victory from lefeat. Then a massive pilejp sent girls from both squads to the floor. Rappahannock guards Kim Settle md Donna Atkins spent the rest of the contest on the oench, nursing injuries with nags of ice. In a final spurt, forward Natalie Butler’s aggressive defense forced a Lurn-over and on the ensuing possession, Jordan scored from the corner to rut the difference to eight, 14-42, with 2:34 remaining. But another intercepted pass by the Wildcats cut the rally short. Logan sent his girls into a four corners stall md the buzzer sounded with Luray ahead by 11, 36-47. High scorer for Rappahannock was Jordan with 12. Settle was the only other Panther in double figures, connecting for 10. Butler added seven points, Ann Tupper four and Connie Compton three. “We’ve got to get out of the negative and into the positive,” said coach Theresa McLawhorn. “We don’t have any ball handlers with Jennifer Tutt’s ability but we’ve got good players. They have the potential to win. Right now, our biggest problem is communication between the girls and me,” the coach said, adding that she had scheduled a team conference for the following day. Last Thursday, the Lady Panthers from Rappahannock took on the Panthers from Page in an away contest that was marked by mental mistakes for the visitors, according to coach Mac. She attributed Rappahannock’s 43-59 loss to several factors.- “They were cocky when the came out on the court and they played You two can be a winner in Foot Locker’s Partners race.

My girls made every mistake in the game of basketball, except in the jump circle. They were called for violations on free throws. They got hit with a technical because they didn’t check in with the scorer when they went in. They traveled. They turned the ball over. They fouled. You name it, they did it,” the coach said. “There was no reason in the world for Page to beat us. Our minds weren’t on the basketball court,” McLawhom added. There was a bright spot for the Panthers, however, Natalie Butler played her best game ever, scoring 13 points and grabbing four or five defensive rebounds, according to the coach. But Butler’s performance was counter balanced by Jordan, Tupper and Melissa Turner who all fell into four trouble early. And Jackie Bywaters for Page had a great night, scoring 29. “She almost beat us by herself. The rest of the Page players had two, three, maybe four each,” McLawhorn said. Butler’s 13 was high for the Panthers. Jordan tallied 12, Turner nine and Connie Compton seven.

Rappahannock County School News Wakefield Enters Second Decade Wakefield School in Huntly will enter its second decade on Friday, September 9, when school opens for the 1983-84 session. As school opens, work progresses at Wakefield on a major new facility, begun in mid-June, which will double the floor space of the existing building. The new structure will contain a regulation size basketball court, stage, library, locker rooms and laboratories for computer science, physics and modem languages. The gymnasium part of the new building is scheduled for completion by mid-winter; the rest of the building should be ready for use by spring. Over 85 new students, the largest number in the school’s history, will enter Wakefield for the fall term. When losses of nearly 30 graduated seniors and others are subtracted, the net gain in enrollment is over 35, with total enrollment still under the 400 student limit set by the school’s trustees. Wakefield now has students attending from Rap pahannock, Fauquier, Warren, Loudoun, Prince William, Fairfax, Frederick, Clarke, Madison, Page, Shenandoah and Culpeper counties in Virginia; and from Jefferson and Berkeley counties in West Virginia. In addition there are boarding students from Florida, Mexico and Venezuela. In response to the growing demand for bus service from the Culpeper area, Wakefield will begin this year a daily bus service to Culpeper. Wakefield also runs busses to Winchester, Berryville, Front Royal, Gainesville and Warrenton. Four new faculty appointments bring the total of teachers at Wakefield to 32. Arthur Zoebelein, the newly appointed head of the science department, holds a B.S. degree from Johns Hopkins University, where he majored in biology and chemistry. While a graduate student at the University or Rochester, he taught embryology and comparative anatomy to undergraduates. Celka Prescott of Wash ington has been appointed to teach British literature to juniors and philosophy and literature to freshmen. Prescott holds a B.A. degree from the Catholic University of America, where she has taught English for the past ten years. Before teaching at the pontifical university in Washington, D.C. Prescott was an instructor in English at Visitation Junior College for Women. David Mullin has been appointed to replace Peter Quinn as housemaster of Wakefield’s Boys Lodge. A native of Detroit, Mullin is a graduate of the Cranbrook School and holds a B.A. degree from Washington and Lee University. In addition to his responsibilities in the boarding program, Mullins will teach civics and Latin. Paula Campbell of Front Royal will be the new prekindergarten and kindergarten assistant.

May HAVING WON THE PRIZE, Patrick O’Meara now turns his attention to his first love — designing automobiles. Welcome to Rap, Cotter The i> Rappahannock school board has chosen a new assistanct principal for the elementary school. He’s 30-year-old Michael Vincent Cotter, currently of Fredericksburg. Cotter is athletic director at Battlefield Intermediate School in Spotsylvania County. He’s been there since 1975. Cotter has reached agreement with his present employer that he may assume duties in Rappahannock as soon as a replacement can be found for him in Spotsylvania. Superintendent Robert Estabrook says that should be “by September 19 at the latest.” Cotter has his B.A. in elementary education with a social studies teaching major from Westminster in New Wilmington, Pa., and has an M.A. in administration and school supervision from the University of Virginia. He is married and has a one-yearold daughter. Estabrook says Cotter was chosen from a field of ten, a good number for the time of the year, according to Estabrook. Some potential applicants may have been discouraged because the opening came so close to the start of the school year and they may not have been able to get out of the present contracts, the superintendent said. Cotter fills the vacancy created when former assis tant principal Tom Campbell was promoted to assistant superintendent in July. The school board chose (’otter after interviewing three finalists in executive session on August 30.

Box SB Woohlnyton, Va. 22747 Grimace Earns Award 1 bird grade pupil Patrick O’Meara has received recognition outside the county as a budding artist. Patrick took first place among nine finalists in a pink ladies poster contest at the University of Virginia Hospital. The theme of the competition was “What my mom or dad does at U. Va. Hospital." Patrick’s submission showed his mother, Mary O’Meara, engaged in crisis intervention at the hospital emergency room. With her was a patient receiving an intravenous blood transfusion. The judges noted that the patient’s grimace “captured the passion and trauma of patients.” Besides the fame and glory, Patricks win a $25 prize. Patrick studied art from Laurie Marshall. Patrick wasn’t concerned about being removed from his third grade class Friday to comment on the victory. In fact he was in no hurry to get back. “We were taking a test," he said. “Actually we were just starting a test and it was one of the easy ones." Asked what he planned to do with the prize money, Patrick grinned. “I dunno,” he said. “I can tell you I can be happy with it.” Hospital rooms are not his usual subject. “Cars are some of my favorites,” he explained. “The thing I like about cars is that most of them, like the old cars, the limousines, have hood ornaments and you can make the hood ornament whatever you want.” Patrick drew an example of what he meant. His limo was designed for the busy millionaire on the move, with curtains and telephones in the back seat, a fully stocked bar in the middle section, and a chauffeur in the front. “The seats are one of my favorite parts of car," Patrick added as he designed the chauffeur’s cubicle. “I’ve seen seats that you can pump up and you can make it look like a big bear. I’ve puffed it up so I can sit in it and I can reach the gas pedal.” Thus, Patrick ended his seminar on the artistic aspects of automobiles and returned to the test in Mrs. Welch’s third grade room. Pre-School Screening On September 18 and 14, 9-3, a pre-school screening assessment will be held for all children under the age of five at the Rappahannock County Elementary School. The assessment will be in the area of coordination, self-help, movement, social and language development. Rappahannock County Public Schools are required by Public Law 94-142 to hold a county-wide child find. The purpose of the screening is to locate, identify and plan an educational training program for children who have or are suspected of having any of the following conditions: visual, speech, hearing disorders, multiple handicaps, special health problems, learning and developmental delays. The pre-school screening program is offered at no cost to parents. Pre-school teacher Patricia Hottinger urges parents to bring pre-schoolers to the elementary school for screening. “It could make a difference in your child's growth and development,” Hottinger noted. For further information on the screening program, call the pre-school teacher at 987-8259. Send^ . a Paper to College!

Burial was in the family section of the church cemetery. Castleton Area News By MICHELE MAY KappahanruH'k News ( orrespondent *17*4031 The big “do" last week was the Saturday night barn dance at Mamie Heflin's near Laurel Mills. It was a great big “hoe-down” with a three piece bluegrass band. Some of the folks there were Bill and Mary Frances Fannon. John Henry and Peggy Woodward, and Melzie and J. T., and Mitch and Judv Hitt... Judy says the Castleton fire school is coming up soon and that’s not a place where you go for fun and games." It's designed for both classroom and practical experience for fire volunteers. Last year, firefighters crawled through the “maze"—tunnels in a tractor-trailer where you see NOTHING, you’re absolutely in the dark as you might be in a smoke-filled building. It can take about half an hour to get through the maze. Then there's the "smokehouse”—a staged blaze in the firehall where volunteers enter with full gear and drag out a “body." Judy says last year Castleton had record attendance at the school. She says anybody who wants to sign up should wall James Grigsby. The classes will take two weekends during September. Milton Switzer went to the hospital by ambulance late last week. Family feared the pastor might have a blood clot in his leg. Everything tested okay and he was back home the same day. but still getting plenty of rest. Reverend John Lines spoke for him Sunday at Hope Hill Baptist Church. Mrs. Switzer adds that Sunday dinner was attended by what she calls "regular family." That’s their sons and daughters-in-law. Milton and Gloria from Viewtown and Robert and Dorothy from Culpeper. They're “regular” only in their attendance at Sunday dinner every week, they’re really extraordinary in the way they stay together as a family. Frank and Doris Donald have been on the go lately. They spent Thursday in Woodstock at the Shenandoah Countv Fair and three days the week before in Lewisburg, West Virginia, at the state fair. They had their van and eamped at Douthat State Park near Clifton Forge, but Doris says it rained the whole time. In fact she says it “peppered down on the roof of the van all night long” and then it “pattered down” all the daylong, and the whole time there was not a drop in dried out Castleton. The Donalds have volunteered to camp out in their woods to see if they can make it rain here. With the van. they're camping in luxury. They used to go with sleeping bags: now they have plush new mattresses. They took the van to Georgia three times so far this year and plan to go again in October to spend a few days with Doris’ sister. In the days of sleeping bags, they went through the Carolinas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi. In fact, last year they went all the way to New Orleans and back sleeping in a tent. Doris had some good news from Maryland. They spent four days last week with their daughter and her husband: Mr. and Mrs. Stephen McCauley in Colesville. They just finished moving into a brand new house they had built. Friday night with people sleeping in it—that's a momentous occasion in the life of every house—a time it remembers as it gradually grows into a home. But the Donalds think it's great to be back in their home from whence they ventured Monday to go grape picking with the Bowevs from Amissville and where the worst thing happening is that the deer had been eating the neighbors' chrysanthemums. The Donalds aren't the only ones going to county fail’s: Shirley Frye Hitt was in a group that went to the Page County fair at Luray, but they had a particular mission to hear—Dave & Sugar. That’s Barbara Martin's favorite. She managed to talk to them and shake hands and compliment their country music. Also attending were Jeannie Dwyer, Kellv Sisk and Donna Gail Hitt. By the way. Shirley says Conway Twitty was as handsome as handsome at Bull Run on the 21st and she wasn't the least bit disappointed in his performance. (Maybe his impending arrival was the reason for the 20th being the hottest day in August? 99 in Sperrvville— 103 in D.C.) The biggest birthday party around this week will be when Tommy Sehoppet turns 12 tomorrow. He will celebrate at the Pizza Hut in Culpeper with nine select friends from school who will then be secreted to his house to play "d ungeons and dragons” and to see a private viewing of a rented movie (to be chosen by Richard.) The Schoppets couldn’t give too many more details about the party when our correspondent called Monday night because it was getting towards time for the Redskins game. Speaking of which, we had a good friend at that game—he’s Frank Jenkins, Jr. a senior at Hermitage High School in Richmond. Frank’s dream is to be a Dallas Cowboy, but he’s been benched for the rest of the year after a stay at St. Luke's Hospital with tom knee ligaments. He was injured while playing football, a sport he has adored since he was eight. Frank already had his ticket to go to RFK to see the Redskins play before all this happened and there wasn't anything that would keep him away. There he was climbing up the bleachers with his cast painted silver and blue and with a big Dallas star on the knee. Shirley Hitt says she went to visit him while he was in the hospital and she’s one of his biggest fans. He’s played every position and she thinks he's the most valuable plaver. Well, that’s just some of what's been happening in Castleton lately, but you probably already heard most of it. for as Aunt Michele says, “hero in the hills we know what the news is; we only road the paper to see who got caught." So ’til next week, be good. (And don’t get caught if you’re not.) Oasis Is A Winner Corrine and Dirgham Saladi's Oasis Vineyard in Hume won top prizes at the Virginia Winery Association’s annual wine festival in Middleburg last weekend. Their champagne was awarded a gold medal, the first champagne from Virginia to receive such an honor. The Sal ad is also brought home a silver medal for their 1981 cabernet sauvignon and a bronze medal for their riesling. Fourteen wineries entered 67 wines in the competition which was judged by representatives from Philadelphia’s Ecole De Vin.
