Rappahannock News, October 6, 1983

The County Family Newspaper Since 1877 SAMPLE 18 Papes THURSDAY. OCTOBER 6, 1983 WASHINGTON. VIRGINI A Phone 67.T-3349 Woodward, Luke Lead In Rappahannock News Poll With the election a month away and “meet the candidates” forums still ahead, John Henry Woodward and Peter Luke have taken the lead in countywide races for sheriff and commonwealth’s attorney, according to a pre-election telephone survey conducted by the Rappahannock News last Thursday night. A substantial number of voters remain undecided in both countywide contests, however, as well as in races for the Virginia Senate seat from the 26th legislative dis trict and for seats on the Rappahannock board of supervisors. Approximately two percent of the county’s registered voters were telephoned Thursday evening in the first of two preelection polls by the Rappahannock News. The second will be conducted on October 27. Respondents were selected at random and asked for their preference if the election were held today. For commonwealth’s attorney, 48 percent of those polled favored Luke and 24 percent favored David L. Konick with 26 percent undecided. Luke’s greatest strength came in Amissville, Woodville, Sperryville, and Flint Hill. Konick outpolled his opponent in Washington and Chester Gap precincts. The greatest number of voters still undecided were in Sperryville and Woodville. One registered voter contacted by the News pollster insisted she was going to vote for the incumbent commonwealth’s attorney, Douglas K. Baumgardner, even though he will not be a candidate on November 8. In the sheriffs campaign, “undecided” beat out all four candidates. Thirtysix percent of the registered voters contacted in the poll did not know who they will vote for on November 8. John Henry Woodward had the edge among those commiting to a candidate with 26 percent of those polled. Martin Orfila won support from 18 percent, Mark Wittl from 12 percent and John Walker Jenkins from 10 percent. Woodward found his strongest support in Sperryville and Amissville areas. Orfila made his best showing in Washington and Chester Gap, Jenkins in Woodville and Wittl in Amissville. Supervisor Election According to the News poll, the closest contest with four weeks to go in the campaign is in Jackson District. The poll shows incumbent J.R. Latham, current chairman of the board, in a dead heat with challenger L.G. “Butch” Zindel, each supported by 43 percent of those contacted. Fourteen percent were undecided. In Stonewall-Hawthorne Land Use Deadline All revalidations for property currently in Rappahannock’s land use assessment program and any new applications must be filed with Rappahannock’s commissioner of revenue by November 1 in order to qualify for the differential assessment in 1984. Revalidation forms have been mailed to all property owners currently receiving land use. New applicants should bring proof of agricultural use over the past five years, usually in the form of schedule “F” from federal income tax returns. To qualify for the land use program, forest land requires no proof other than an aerial photograph showing the trees on the property. The commissioner of revenue’s office, located next door to the courthouse in Washington, is open Monday through Friday, 8:304:30. No appointment is necessary in order to file an application or revalidation for the land use program. Request For Lower Speed Limit Denied The posted speed limit on Route 729 between Ben Venue and Flint Hill will stay at 55 miles per hour, resident highway engineer Don Askew announced at Monday’s board meeting, denying a request from the supervisors and landowners along the stretch to lower that limit. “If you’re doing much over 30, 35 miles per hour, you would be driving recklessly and should be cited so (by police) if you have an accident,” Askew said. Unless otherwise posted, speed limit on the state’s secondary roads is 55 miles per hour, he noted. “To get a lower limit, you have to make an engineering study in order for it to stand up in court. Then it must be reviewed by the Highway Commission,” the resident engineer added. After receiving the request for a lower limit on Route 729, the required engineering study was conducted, he continued. The study found the road w'asn’t traveled enough to warrant a low er limit. “The character of the road itself dictates the speed limit,” Askew added. The stretch is used primarily by local traffic, commuters who take the route from Flint Hill to Warrenton. “I don’t know why they go that way (instead of following Route 522 to Massie’s Cor(Continued on Page 2) County Woman Robbed At Store By WENDY SIZER Arundel Newspapers Correspondent A Rappahannock woman was the victim of armed robbery Saturday at the Peoples Drug Store in the Northern Virginia Shopping Center, Warrenton.

This Saturday, October 8, is the final day to register before the November 8 elections. The registrar’s office at the court house in Washington will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Voter Rolls Up 7°/c Last Chance To Register The number of registered voters in Rappahannock County has increased by about seven percent over the past month. According to general registrar Ruth Kilby, 2,884 were registered at election time last year. The latest validated return from Richmond dated September 22 shows 2,998 registered. “I mailed 71 new registration forms to Richmond yesterday and 1 already have eight more,” Kilby reported last Thursday. That brings the total to 8,077, an increase of 193. The biggest jump comes in the Castletonarea,the registrar said. “We registered 17 new people at the fire hall there two weeks ago.” Kilby attributed the success of the month long voter registration drive to editorial support from the Rappahannock News, interest in the local races, particularly the contest for sheriff, and the declaration from Gov. Charles Robb of September as voter registration month. “A lot of older people, some of them in their 80s and never before registered, have come in. But we’ve had very few blacks register," Kilby said, adding that she could only remember two who registered in the past month. For those who haven’t yet registered, there’s still time. The registrar’s office at the court house in Wash ingtin will be open Thursday, October 6, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and again on Saturday, October 3, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. “To register, all you need to know is your Social Security number,” Kilbv noted. Approximately 03 percent of Rappahannock's eligible voters are now registered, slightly above the state average of 53 percent. The Commonwealth’s average puts Virginia in a tie with South Carolina for the third worst voter registration record nationwide, according to a survey conducted by the League of Women Voters. Only Arizona and Nevada have registration less than Virginia’s 58 percent. District where incumbent H.B. Wood is not seeking re-election. Nelson Lane, the district’s representative on the county school board, holds an edge over Sean Kilpatrick, 41 percent to 25 percent, with undecideds at 34 percent. In Hampton District, write-in candidate Diane Wood trails incumbent t'lar ance Baldwin by a two-toone margin. Wood garnered support from 25 percent of those contacted in the News poll while Baldwin was supported by 50 percent. Twenty-five percent of Hampton's respondents were undecided. State Senate Thirty-eight percent of those contacted in the first News poll were undecided in the Senate race for the 2tith district seat, not because they couldn’t make up their minds between the two candidates but because they’d never heard of either one. At least half of those answering expressed a preference affiliation, not for the individual. And the margin was slim: Democrat Krnie Schlabach d2 percent and Republican Kevin Miller 80 percent. Schlahach made his first 1JW8 campaign visit to Rappahannock last Wednesday. Miller will make his first stop here and Schlabach will return for this week’s candidates’ forum sponsored by the local Democratic committee. The percentage of undecideds was even higher in Fauquier County where voters in three 2bth district precincts — Catlett, Morrisvi 1 It* and Remington — will (Continued on Page 2) Jail Renovation Cost Upped $18,000 By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New s Staff Writer The completion date for renovation of the Rappahannock jail will he the middle of November, if everything arrives as expected, according to architect Hunter Spencer. “Right now, the only hold-up is the heavy security items—the visitor's screen, electric locks to cells. I’m informed that they will be delivered on October 25. Once they’re delivered and installed, it will be ready,” Spencer told the county board of supervisors on Monday. But the price tag will be $18,334 higher than the supervisors originally ex peeted, due to "change orders" approved since t h<* renovation contract was first signed with Kaughrn ('(instruction t'ompany. Spencer attended Monday’s hoard meeting to explain the latest of those orders. “I thought the understanding was when w'e renovated the jail, we’d he able to use it when we were through,” said supervisors H. B. Wood, questioning the additions to the contract. "It bothers me, too,” added sheriff W. A. Buntin. “1 thought it would be ready. An awful lot of things are being adddd on.” Spencer requested an okay from tin- board for one change ortler covering the painting of the cell block floors, bars and stair railings for .$1,77:1. He gave them three options for a second order covering toilet facilities in the cell block: (1) remove the existing water closets and replace with new fixtures and new flush valves for $:{,18b, (2) replace one broken water closet and eight Hush valves for $2,:i7.'l or Cl) replace one water closet and repair the exist ing Hush valves on a time and materials basis, paying $1<> per hour for a plumber with tutorials billed as needed. (Continued on Page 2) Board To Meet With Judges And Sewer Block Grant Representative The Rappahannock supervisors set two special meetings at their regular monthly session on Monday. On October 11, the board members will meet with Judges Carlton Penn, Shore Robertson, Burke Hertz and John Alexander to discuss space needs at the court house. This Thursday, supervisors J. R. Latham, Hubert Gilkey and Charles Kstes will travel to Culpeper for a discussion of the county’s $500,000 block grant approved for the Sperryville sewer system. Chairman Latham reported that John Capelle, executive director of the Rappahannock Rapidan Planning District Commission who announced his resignation two weeks ago, called last week to report that the commission is still willing to administer the block grant for Rappahannock. (Capelle made that commitment informally last spring-) “Kut we have to pass a resolution asking them to do this,” Latham said, adding that he planned to attend a meeting with Capelle and the block grant representative from Richmond set for early Thursday morning. “! think all of us should go,” maintained supervisor ('harles Kstes. “The planning district commission has agreed to administer our block grant but they’re not going to do it for free,” Latham continued. “It should be possible to negotiate terms,” he replied, when asked for a price estimate. Administering the $500,000 block grant and the $1.4 million grant from the Environmental Protection Agency awarded for the sewer project is quite a large undertaking, Kstes pointed out, proposing a joint meeting between the supervisors and the Water and Sewer Authority. “We’re going to have to make some commitments this Thursday,” predicted Latham, asking his fellow hoard members for direction. “This board has not authorized me or anybody else to make an agreement with Planning District Nine to manage the project.” “We could decide at the meeting Thursday morning after we hear from the block grant representative," supervisor (iilkey suggested. “I’m sure each board member has questions (about the sewer project). It will be a good time to have those questions answered,” added Kstes. However, supervisor H. It. Wood and Clarence Baldwin both announced they couldn’t attend Thursday’s meeting and neither appeared inclined to authorize Latham to act on behalf of the board.

What are your reasons for seeking the office of commonweallth’s attorney? “I’ve been actively involved in community affairs and in county government for some time and when Doug Baumgardner announced that he was not going to seek re-election, I knew I wanted to run for the office and serve the county as commonwealth’s attorney. I think there is a tradition in rural communities of respect for the law and respect for the environment which I see threatened in Rappahannock County. The commonwealth’s attorney, working with the board of supervisors and other county offices, plays a key role in preserving the traditional values that make Rappahannock a good place to live and in which to raise a family. “I look upon the job as a real challenge. I think most David L. Konick people in the county know my reputation for putting every thing I’ve got into a case and I’m looking forward to putting a lot of time and energy into the job of commonwealth’s attorney.” 2. What are your qualifications for the job? “I’m a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of The George Washington University with a bachelor of arts degree in history and a graduate of the National Law Center in Washington, D.C. During law school, I worked as a law clerk for a law firm in Fairfax County on criminal and civil matters. Since 1977, I’ve been an active member of the Virginia State Bar. I’m admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of Virginia and federal district courts in both the eastern and western districts of Virginia. “In the course of my private practice, I’ve had a wide range of trial and litigation experience in both state and federal courts in both civil and criminal matters. I’m a member of the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association. “I’ve also had experience as a prosecutor in Rappa hannock County. In 1980, Judge Snead appointed me as acting commonwealth’s attorney for Rappahannock County in a number of burglary cases which occurred in the Castleton area. I successfully prosecuted these cases and in addition to obtaining convictions, I was successful in having some of the stolen property returned to the victim. “I’ve had extensive experience in county government since my appointment as zoning administrator by the board of supervisors in 1981. During the past two years, I have developed a close working relationship with the supervisors and members of the planning commission and board of zoning appeals. “I believe my education and courtroom experience and my experience in county government have provided (Continued on Page 5) 1. What are your reasons for seeking the office of commonweallth's attorney? “I prefer the role of prosecutor over the role of defense counsel. I’ve had experience with both and from a professional standpoint, I find the type of work a prosecutor does preferable. “And I have the experience to do a good job as commonwealth’s attorney. That’s another reason why I’m seeking the office. I feel I can do a good job. If I didn’t believe that, I wouldn’t be running. I have the experience necessary to see that laws are enforced, that criminals are fully prosecuted. That’s what the office of commonwealth’s attorney is basically all about.” 2. What are your qualifications for the job? “I’m a former police officer, a graduate of the Uni Peter H. Luke versity of Virginia’s law school. I’ve been a prosecutor with the United States Air Force. I’ve been ad mitted to the bar and practicing law for 11 years. “My experience in the Air Force involved basically the same type of crime that’s the responsibility of Kappa bannock’s common wealth’s attorney to prosecute—assault, larceny, breaking and entering, drug violations. “I’ve also been a substitute judge, sitting in the counties of Fauquier, Rappahannock and Loudoun for the past three years. And I’ve been a special justice for Rappahannock (bounty for three years. “In conclusion, I feel that I’ve worked in every position in our criminal justice system from the basic enforcement of law as a police officer to prosecuting criminals, defending crimi nals and judging criminals.” ■1. Duties of cornmonwealth’ii attorney are twofold: to prosecute criminal cases and to represent and advise local governing bodies as county attorney. In the second instance, the board of supervisors, board of zoning appeals and school board hare frequently hired outside lawyers as counsel. If elected, anil y<yn be able to hutulle thane duties? “I feel competent to handle those duties but I recognize the rights of those groups to select their own counsel if they choose to do so. If they are uncomfortable with using me, 1 would encourage them to seek outside leagal advice. “But 1 feel that instances of direct conflict that might prevent me from representing the board of supervisors, board of zoning appeals or school board would be minimal. “In addition, 1 am now the attorney for the Rappahannock- Kapidan Community Services Board so I have experience in some of the areas of law that might concern local boards, such as Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act and the new Virginia public procurement law.” (Continued on Page 5)

Jail Renovation (Continued from Page 1) “We were not aware of the problem with the existing plumbing (when the original contract was drawn),” Spencer explained. “Okay, how about this painting?” asked Wood. “When we solicited bids, everyone was very concerned about the cost, where the cost was going. We wanted to keep the cost as low as possible (so painting of the cell block was omitted from the specifications),” the architect told the supervisors. "But the bids came in so much lower than we thought they'd be that we’re finding it better to do thing now rather than put them off. “We might as well go ahead and paint and have it all done," said supervisor Hubert Gilkev. “I don’t see any reason to replace the fixtures other than the one broken toilet but I think we should get new flush valves.” Reworded in the form of a motion, Gilkey’s suggestions passed with no opposition. The supervisors also agreed to ask the contractor if his prices for the change orders included repairs to bunks in the cell block as specified earlier by the board. “Just what was in the original contract in regard to painting?” Wood inquired. “All the interior painting with the exception of the cell block. The contract called for the cell block walls to be painted but we weren’t planning to paint the concrete floors, the metal work and the ceiling," Spencer said. “Should this be our last change order?" asked Gilkey. “I think so,” the architect answered. He noted that two change orders approved earlier totaled $14,1S8. “The biggest part of that—$12,00t>—was for the asphalt (in the jail parking lot),” Spencer added. “There's a low place in that asphalt where water is left standing in puddles,” interjected supervisor Charles Estes. Spencer volunteered to bring the problem to the attention of the contractor for the paving work. “There shouldn't be any bad puddling areas, at least nothing larger than your hand.” “This spot looked to be about three feet wide,” reported J. R. Latham, chairman of the board. Leaving the asphalt problem behind, Spencer told the supervisors that the change orders approved at Monday’s meeting up the contract price for the jail renovation from around $118,000 to $130,603. “That leaves $26,378 that you can add and still be reimbursed for half,” the architect said, referring to the $103,000 total approved—half county share and half statt—by the legislature and Department of Corrections for the renovation project.

After the clerk, a resident of the town of Washington, placed the cash in a Peoples Drug Store bag, the subject left the store on foot. There were no injuries and the crime was per formed so discreetly that other people in the store had no idea what was happening, the chief added. There were witnessess but, because the incident was so quiet, no one took notice, he said. The store manager reported the incident at 6:58 p.m. and officers — including Fauquier County Sheriffs deputies and Virginia State Police — were on the scene one minute later. A thorough search of the area produced nothing, Chief Heath said.

Askew described the stretch as “one steady curve all the way through.” However, he did agree that warning signs could he posted alerting motorests to particularly sharp bends. At the resident engineer’s request, the supervisors set a public hearing on the county's six year plan for secondary road improvements for their November board meeting. "After you review the comments, you can adopt the revised six-year plan at your December meeting," Askew said, adding that he wanted to meet with each supervisor individually to go over the roads in his district. Town Boundaries Commonwealth's attorney Douglas Baumgardner, acting as counsel for the Town of Washington, asked the board for approval to petition the circuit court to formally establish boundaries for the town. He noted that Washington's boundaries were initially set in 1794 by act of Virginia’s General Assembly. In 1796, the legislature set aside 25 acres and directed trustees to lay out the town in lots of one-half acre each and to name the streets. Then an additional one-half acre lot was added by another act of the General Assembly in 1797. On February 12, lb94, the town was incorporated by the legislature, Baumgardner continued. Its boundaries were also extended o(X) yards in all directions beyond the limits originally set for Washington. A highway department map, based on those earlier acts of the General Assembly, shows the town as having a rectangular configuration, the attorney noted. But a U.S. GeodeticSurvey map delineates the shape as six-sided. “That doesn't really follow the legal description but it’s been used for the practical boundaries,” the attorney said. As part of the ongoing formulation of new zoning ordinances, the town council wants to legally establish the six-sided shape as Wash ington’s boundaries. Baumgardner reported. The boundaries can have an impact on zoning questions and conceivably on taxes and services as well, according to the attorney. “The town would like to enter into an agreement with the' county to use the boundaries of the Geodetic Survey map." After agreement is reached, the supervisors and the town council will jointly petition the circuit court to have the boundaries established by order of the court, he added. The Geodetic Survey “in effect has been used for zoning and other purposes, even though technically and legally, the town’s boundaries follow the rectangular configuration of the highway department’s maps...The matter has to be clarified,” Baumgardner advised. “What would it do to property around the town? Would it put more property in or out?” asked supervisor H. B. Wood. Adopting the Geodetic Survey map would include more land within Washington’s limits than is "techni-* callv and legally” within the boundaries now,” the attorney replied. “Is this an annexation case?” asked Robert Eastham from the audience. “No. it’s a question of establishing boundaries by agreement,” Baumgardner said. “What's the difference, if it takes more property into the town than the town already has?” inquired Eastham. The county's zoning and tax maps already follow the Geodetic Survey map for the boundaries of the town of Washington, according to Baumgardner. "The court is just being asked to legally affirm what is already in practice." By unanimous vote, the supervisors agreed to refer the matter to the planning commission. Reassessment Delay? The hoard tabled until its November meeting a decision on whether to request an extension for the upcoming reassessment. “We have to have a resolution before December 31 of this year if we want to put off the reas DEMOCRATIC FACE FUNDRAISER MEET THE CANDIDATES And Enjoy Cocktails and a Buffet Supper at BLACKYVATER HOMESTEAD " & Rt. 650 Boston Saturday, October 8th 5:30-8:00 P.M.

On a related subject, the board members received information from commissioner of revenue Merle Scoggin on new suggested ranges for use value for agricultural, horticultural, formal and open space land from the State Land Evaluation Advisory Committee Agriculture Class II Class III Class IV Class V Class VI Class VII Class VIII Suggested Rappahannock’s New Value Present Assessment $770 per acre $570 $460 $340 $290 $170 $60 $620 per acre $470 $380 $280 $230 $170 $50 Horticultural Class II Class III Class IV Class V Class VI Class VII Class VIII $1,070 $870 $760 $560 $470 $290 $60 In her letter, Scoggin called the board's attention to the fact that “the large majority (in fact almost all) of class VII land valued at $170 per acre and Class VIII land valued at $50 per acre comes under the category of forest land and is assessed at a flat $200 per acre in this county.” She noted that forest land in surrounding counties is valued from about $145 per acre to $280 missioner,” she concluded. Council Confers With Counsel Washington’s Town Council met in executive session Tuesday night to discuss the application from the owner of The Inn at Little Washington for a specisl use permit to renovate their building and add accommodations for overnight guests. During the meeting, town attorney Douglas Baumgardner presented the results of his review of the application and showed the council (1) procedures to be followed in deciding whether to grant the permit and (2) facts to be examined, according to Mayor J. Newbill Miller. The council never returned to open session following its 1 Vi hour executive meeting. Miller says public discussion of the request will be scheduled for the next regular council meeting which will be Wednesday, October 12. FMQDIER UVESTOCS INCORPORATED REGULAR SALES Every Tues.

The supervisors agreed to wait for those figures, expected to be ready by the next board meeting, before making a decision on a request for extension of the reassessment deadline. Board To Meet With 'H Judges (Continued from Page 1) Richmond “wants someone there authorized to act,” clerk Diane Bruce reminded the supervisors. Majority Delegation “We’ll be a majority delegation. I don’t see why the three of us couldn’t authorize it,” Gilkey said, finding at least majority agreement for his suggestion to continue Monday’s meeting until Thursday morning. Bob Dennis, secretary/treasurer to the Water and Sewer Authority (WSA), passed on a few “personal observations” to the board. As treasurer, Dennis said, he is concerned about having enough time to handle “the CPA-type of paper work” called for by the sewer grants. He expressed willingness to resign if his departure would benefit the sewer project. “Maybe it’s time for you to consider new per ■'sere, depending upon quality Figures for use value assessment can be changed only at the time of a new assessment, according to Scoggin. “It is not advisable for the commissioner of revenue to vary from the SLEAC figures. Otherwise, the burden of proof of production falls upon said com talent for the Authority.” He told the board that he’d read about Capelle’s resignation after returning from a two-week vacation. “I don’t know where that will leave the Authority... We’ve really been leaning on John and the planning district to do a lot of our work,” he said, noting that in the future, the WSA will have to employ its own administrative officer. “That troubles me a little bit when we’re looking at a time when the Water and Sewer Authority will have an administrative officer while the county itself doesn’t have An administrator is needed for more than just overseeing the grants and construction, Dennis continued. “Once the system is going, we’re going to have to have someone and (even if the planning district is hired as project manager) we can’t rely on the PDC to do it forever.” Dennis proposed that it might now be the time for the supervisors to begin looking at the possibility of hiring a county administrator. “Rappahannock is the only county around without one,” he noted, adding that the administrator could take on the WSA’s work in addition to other duties. The planning district commission has responsibilities to many other jurisdictions, Dennis said. “We need someone really responsive to county issues...By itself, (managing the construction and operation of Sperryville’s sewer system) is not a full-time job for a fully qualified person. But combined (with the duties of county administrator), it might make a full-time position for a qualified person,” Dennis concluded. Columbus Day Closings State and county offices, Rappahannock National Bank and Farmers and Merchants Bank will be closed Monday, October 10, in observance of Columbus Day. The Rappahannock Mental Health Clinic will also be closed but in case of emergency, clinic staff can be reached by calling 675-3329.

The issue of how agriculture has changed was addressed by four panelists: James Butler, a native who served Albemarle County as its extension agent for 27 years and is now on the Board of Supervisors there; H.L. Manwaring, former head of the Department of Agriculture's division of Conservation and Stabilization who has been farming in Rappahannock since 1949; Beverly Massie, head of the school board and a farm wife for 30 years and Carson Johnson, a native who was raised on a small, mountain family farm and is presently involved with real estate. James Butler described the establishment of the Agricultural Extension Service in 1903. He attributed this county’s agricultural productivity to its teaching and research. He shared the extension agent’s creed which is a tribute to the bountiful earth and the hard work needed to tend it. In the question and answer period Butler said, “45,000 people die of starvation each day in the world. It’s not that we can’t produce the food either. It’s policies of distribution that need to be changed.” He went on to attest to the difficulties facing the American farmer. “I know of good farmers who will never get out of debt. If the fanners would ban together (I know they’re independent sorts) and take more control of what happens in packaging and distributing the food, the middlemen might not get so much of the profit.” H.L. Man waring added that only $.28 of each dollar spent on food goes to the farmer. “With the need for large parcels of land and huge capital outlay for equipment, most farmers are barely paying their wages, let alone interest on their loans or making a profit. Food production may be taken up by other coun tries where the governments set the prices and guarantee the fanners a return, much as those of us who believe in free enterprise hate to see it.” Manwaring also described the effect of mechanization on farming, various methods of growing com from horsedrawn plow to planting directly in the sod and the devastation of his sheep herd by dogs, the remainder of which he sold to the third speaker and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. James Massie, for their Amissville farm. Beverly Massie spoke of her role as homemaker, mother, accountant, record keeper, a retriever of needed parts and a caretaker of animals. She told stories of piglets in the bathtub, a diapered lamb in the kitchen and a new born calf with its leg broken knocking around the mud room in the middle of the night. “Farming is a twenty-four hour job,” she said. “There’s no gender gap in farming. You’re in it because you love it. I’m proud to be a part of the farming industry.” -Heart Volunteers Have High Hopes a By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock News Staff Writer Local heart association volunteers have raised their sights now that they’re organized. For many years the annual door-to-door fundraising campaign in February has been successful—so successful last year in fact that the National Affiliate of the American Heart Association presented local volunteers with a plaque last month to honor them for exceeding their February fundraising goal. Last year local volunteers offered to raise $4,000 and came up with $6,280. This year they say they'll raise $7,000. Public information chairman Janet Yancey says it will be easier to meet the goal now that local volunteers have been organized into an official local unit of the Virginia Affiliate of the {sf^S^cEstate o^orS Eileen M. Day realtor PARTY WALLS it two buildings are put up and there is only one wall between them, that wall is called a “party wall.” There are practical and economic reasons for using a party wall. If there was no party wall concept, an extra wall would ave to be built, costing more money and taking up more space. You would probably build a single division wall if you owned two lots and built a building on each one. If you should sell one of the lots, that division wall immediately becomes a party wall and keeps that status until both buildings are removed. If one of the properties should be destroyed, the owner of the lot where the destroyed building stood can build another building using that same wall. Or another party wall situation could come about it you should buy an empty lot next to a lot where there already is a building. You may want to use the wall of the existing building as a party wall, but that wall may stand partly on your lot. To avoid future litigation, a formal party wall agreement is made between you and the owner of the existing building. The agreement, which should be recorded, specifically states that you can use that wall. By all means check with your attorney if party walls are in your future.

We’re here to help. American Heart Association. Organization will not only help create a stronger door-to-door campaign, but will also offer local awareness programs for the first time. This fall the 21 member board began meeting to plan a school education program that president Steve Scoggin says he hopes to see started in the spring. The unit plans to establish a cardiovascular health center offering exhibits, films, speakers and pamphlets to schools and civic groups. Scoggin says the pamphlets will be included in packets available from Richmond geared toward individual grade levels from kindergarten through 12th grade. He suggested heart awareness curriculm could be included in health or home economics classes to name just two examples. Yancey added that specialists are also available from the University of Virginia to offer in-service tea cher training. Heart association activities are purely preventive, Scoggins pointed out, not aimed toward crisis intervention. Local Killer Scoggins cites some pretty shocking statistics about why he’s motivated to work for the heart association. In Rappahannock County in 1980-81, 54 percent of all deaths were due to heart attacks or heart related illness. Scoggins says that means 38 people were killed locally in one year by heart disease. Scoggins says the distressing fact is that heart (ountry . N \^/*The Plains Virginia ^ypiritDay Saturday, October 15, 10:00 a.m.'6:00 p.m. SUPER FOOD Chili &.

They knew a farm couldn’t be divided in 12 parts, so inevitably the oldest son was pushed out, with the youngest son inheriting the farm. The others got money.” The final panelist, Car son Johnson, described the self-sufficient way of life of the mountain people up until WW II. They raised animals, gathered nuts and berries and grew enough to eat and trade. “Nobody had any money, but nobody was poor or went hungry.” That land, which couldn’t produce much, was so rocky that every year a killing hog would break a leg and have to be shot. When land value was based on what it could produce, the mountain land was worth only $3 an acre (around the 1900’s). After WW II, with cars and city people needing to get out, the value of the mountain land has risen.” He concluded his talk by saying, “I hope those of you who have come from the city and those of you who were raised here will enjoy the beautiful views, the trout filled streams, the hunting and recreation of Rappahannock for a long time to come." The next lecture/discussion will be Oct. 7, at 7:30 at the Gay St. Theater with Dorothy Davis presenting a slide/talk on “The Rise of Democracy.” Panelists include Mary Botts Quaintance on the role of education in democracy; Daphne Hutchinson on the role of the media and Col. Samuel Glasker on the experience of black people in Rappahannock’s democracy as well as the role the Army has played in creating opportunities for advancement. With Rappahannock’s upcoming elections, this evening will have special relevance. disease can largely be prevented through nutrition, sensible exercise and by breaking bad habits such as smoking. The unit’s medical and community programs chairman Frances Thornton will work with the board to establish community awareness programs to show Rappahannock residents how to prevent heart disease. Scoggins says the unit may also start a support group later in the year for stroke and heart attack patients and their families. Local Funds Now that the local unit is organized, more of the money raised in Rappahannock will return in the form of special materials published by the American Heart Association. Scoggins says the unit will request funding for its activities and the state chapter will make allocations. It’s possible for a unit to get more money back than it raises, he explained. Scoggins pointed out that the association is heavily research oriented. Onethird of all money raised goes for research into ways of combatting heart disease. Contributions are not just welcome in February during heart month, Scoggins says. The “Time to Remember” program offers people the opportunity to donate in memory of loved ones, to celebrate special occasions and as get well gifts. Money may be sent to “Time to Remember” in care of Virginia Cloud, Box 311, Washington 22747. The unit’s fundraising chairman is Pearl Clarke. She will help organize the annual door-to-door campaign, the jump rope for heart event at the schools and possibly some new' fundraisers: an aerobics dance-athon and a square dance dur ing heart month. The unit will also solicit business donations as well as those from individual households. Local History Local heart volunteers have been actively raising money for several decades to go towards the heart association, but only held their first organized meeting in September. Yancey says the unit had its beginnings in a suggestion from then-field consultant Ken Pillar at the Shenandoah Chapter. Pillar spoke with Yancey and Cloud and Yancey says those talks went on for almost a year. Then volunteers set up some public meetings last summer to measure community interest. Finally the newly formed unit met in July to elect its 21 member board which includes officers: president Steve Seoggin, vice president Lillian Aylor, treasurer Frances Foster, and secretary Nina Beck. The board plans to meet four times a year, Seoggin says, with the next meeting set for January 18. Seoggin asked anyone interested in helping with heart association activities to contact him at 675-3336, Share A Ride Adopt a grandparent is endorsed by RAAC’s Film Club.

Gannon, and his wife. Breezy. For all those who have dreamed of one day converting a little school house into their own home, this will be a highlight of this year’s house tour. It was a case of love at first sight when, several years ago, the Gannons first saw this little school house that was being remodeled and then heard the story of how it was once a tiny one room building called the Lottie School. Originally built in 1899, it was abandoned as a school in the 1920s. Its records have disappeared but the little oneroom school lives on in the Gannon’s attractive conversion that features the original classroom with its 12foot ceiling, wood paneling and eight-foot windows. A tiny guest bedroom above and to one side of the old classroom has been claimed by the grandchildren because it can be entered and exited via a rope ladder suspended through an opening in the upper wall.

According to voter registrar Ruth Kilby, 60 percent of eligible voters were registered before the drive started so the increase is a modest three,percent. That’s not much to be proud of. Why is it that Virginians have such a dismal record? Why are the sons and daughters of George Washington, James Madison, George Mason and Thomas Jefferson so slow to exercise their constitutionally guaranteed right to vote. Only South Carolina, Arizona and Nevada have registration less than Virginia’s 58 percent. In an article in the University of Virginia’s Journal, government professor Larry Sabato maintains that the commonwealth has not made the effort that other states have made. He blames the low rate on the difficulties of registering, pointing out that Virginia doesn’t allow registration by mail, closes registration one month before voting day (much earlier than most other states) and purges from the voter lists those who have not voted in four years. But just how difficult is registering? It takes at most a half hour to drive to the registrar’s office in the town of Washington from any point in the county. So that’s an hour round trip and about five minutes for the paper work involved with registering. Most of us drive further than that each week to shop for groceries or take in a movie or reach a job. It’s not the distance. When the registrars went the road, setting up shop each Saturday in fire halls around the county, only a handful of people came to register five minutes from home. At Amissville, for instance, only three new residents made the minimal investment of time and effort to exercise their constitutional right. We’ve heard that people don’t want to register because potential jurors are selected from the lists of registered voters and they don’t want to be called for jury duty. We hope the shirkers someday have to worry about the assemblage to a jury of THEIR peers who will be called upon to hear THEIR case. Then they may take this constititutional protection a little more seriously. In Rappahannock, blacks, in particular, have a low registration percentage. According to Kilby, only three have registered in the past month. “Poor people, especially black poor people, don’t think their vote makes any differ ence, reports Charlie Lewis, deacon in the Hopewell Baptist Church and one of the leaders of Sperryville’s black community. “They’re wrong. Maybe their vote doesn’t amount to much in a presidential election but in a county election for sheriff, of the board of supervisors, it counts a whole lot.” Lewis is right. This is where ' it counts, right here at the bottom rung of democracy’s ladder. This is where it all starts. And it’s not too late to reach that first ring before the November 8 election. The registrar’s office in Washington will be open today, Thursday, October 6, 8:304:30 and on Saturday, October 8, 9-5. If you are part of that 37 percent that’s eligible but not registered, then register to vote. A Meaningful Experience? By EUGENE McCARTHY Rappahannock New9 Guest Columnist A heart attack is not a pleasant experience although each one is, I believe, unique. Heart attacks are supposed to be meaningful. Norman Cousins has just written and published a book about his. I have not yet found the meaning of mine. I have experienced no unusual perceptions or special insights or inspiration as yet. I may need more time, since the attack took me some-what by surprise. The statistics and general indicators of potentiality for attack, other than that I am a male and am getting older, were reassuring. I had low blood pressure, a slaw pulse, had never smoked and had no family history to worry about, was only slightly over weight and under-exercised and suffering or enduring the normal stress of the politics of the Reagan Administration with some carry forward from the Carter Administration. It was not that I was unaware of what the immedate signs of a heart attack are. From reports of friends who had had experience and from warnings and admonitions from the media, I was alert for the pain in the left arm, shortness of breath and sharp pains in the chest. None of these warnings were given me. My advice to all is not to rely on statistical assurances or wait for identifiable symptoms, but to assume that you are having a heart attack, or about to have one, when you have sensations, The first is that a person should have a special and detached respect for his or her 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. heart, possibly address it as Mr. Heart or as Ms. Heart, and not be very certain of it or possessive or address it familiarly as one might with kidneys or liver, as “my kidneys” or “my liver”. The heart has a way of its own, pumping away, on its own time and schedule, general reliable and regular and uncomplaining but it demands respect. My second dear conclusion is that one should not eat barbecued spare ribs on the evening of a heart attack, even if barbecued by that master of the open grill, Thomas Geoghegan. Meanwhile I am reading the cards 1 have received from friends and enemies and have begun reading the books sent to me; seven about Ireland, one of them, of Irish Love Stories, generally depressing, a biography of Dwight Eisenhower, a history of the Washington Post1' (critical which increased my enjoyment) a history' of Civil War Battles of 1864, one on the Atlantic Coastal areas, and one on the Ends of the Earth, the Artie Esquimo Lands, Siberia, the Congo and Outer Manchuria. painful or marginally so, in the region of your chest that are different from any that you have ever experienced, even falling in love. At that point in time, call for help. In my case the calls began about 2 o’clock in the morning of Labor Day. First to a neighbor who knew the name of a doctor to call in Culpeper. Another call to the doctor, who said he would be waiting. Then to a neighbor, closer than the rescue squad, to drive me to the hospital, some twenty five minutes away. The doctor and his staff were waiting and ready as promised. Dr. A1 Cramer, who advised me on arrival that he was also the State Chairman of The Republican Party of Virginia. This was a confidence builder. In any case, all went well. I am on the way to recovery, I am told, after various processes, echograms, angio-grams, etc. and promised a good life, even some things, according to a reassuring pamphlet, that I have never done successfully or in a satisfactory manner before, such as ball-room dancing (without benefit of Arthur Murray) and golf. My last score, for 18 holes made some fifteen years ago, was 96. I am also advised by the pamphlet that I am ready for light housekeeping, including window washing, but am temporarily banned from heavy vacuum cleaning, a prohibition I will surely honor. As of now I have come to only two sure conclusions. -Our Rappahannock Heritage * " ToTheMitor I ,eUeirS If possible, letter Uappabannoc^ ^ typed and^A& rhe bo*''^V"a^'“r® putobe' ■ grs-ut isnt^vo s^rs-*-*-4 ■■— The ^"Ctbe Sexvs invites ^ This editor certain Puideli^S’ ^°UT be S\ rested; tvotP ^tmesbe LVeUetlnK^alt^v^euc\o£. questiHR usW£ a V , e(\ =. o ,*bel .»;ol * con^o Flood Of Opposition 1 o the editor: The MCI atrocity, a 250 foot communications tower in the middle of Rappahannock County, remains a threat. MCI, a private business, will return with detailed plans to erect a giant skeleton loaded with flashing4 lights and large ugly geometrical shapes. It may or may not generate electronic interference; that can be proved only after it is too late. But it is certain to despoil Rappahannock's natural beauty and property values; it has already caused the latter. This company is persistent. It attempted to install this monstrosity on Red Oak Mountain but, fortunately, the owner refused to allow it. MCI is now trying to use Bessie Belle Mountain, and, if successful, may well try elsewhere in the county.’ We must try to prevent this tower from being placed anywhere in the county. One action we can all take now is to write a simple, signed letter to the Board of Zoning Appeals expressing our views: public opinion is a powerful weapon. All residents and property owners who are against this ugly tower proposed for our county, EVERYONE OF YOU, should write to: Chairman, Board of Zoning Appeals % Zoning Administrator Washington, Virginia 22747 and tell him that you do not want this tower. You should urge your neighbors to write. Our representatives want to know our view: flood them with it! NELSA. PARSON Washington, Va. Join The “Not” Team To the editor: In a recent issue of TIME magazine, an ad for the MCI Telecommunications Corporation boasts that “Though we’re a billion dollar company, we’re really a whole network of small, free-wheeling, make-it-happen teams.” One of those “small, free-wheeling, make-it-happen teams” was the MCI men at the last Board of Zoning Appeals meeting at the court house trying to “make-it-happen” on Bessie Belle Mountain. Only MCI and their lawyers will be enriched by the erection of this ugly, monster tower that will be seen for miles desecrating the beautiful Rappahannock mountains and valleys. It will not benefit anyone in the county. Don’t forget, this is a private company w hose aim is profit. It is not a utility — Bessie Belle Mountain Tower would be merely a way-station tower to connect the far-flung MCI “second largest telecommunications network” across the once lovely vistas of our beloved Rappahannock County. Let’s all get on the makeit-NOT-happen team of Rappahannock County: Write your views to the Board of Zoning Appeals. It’s our county to cherish, protect and pass on to future generations beautifully uncluttered by fly-by-night giant corporations’ towers.

Taxpayer Cost Only $36 To the editor: There has been strong and w idespread support for our recent proposals for school improvements. However, one of the cost figures estimated by our group was too high and we would like to set the record straight. In checking our figures, we found that the estimated cost of our recommendations to the average Rappahannock tax payer would be $36 next year (or about $3 per month), rather than $63. This is because this year's average tax bill is $172.63, rather than $300 as we had estimated. We apologize for any misunderstandings this error may have caused. And we hope that anyone who objected to our recommendations because of cost will now see how reasonable these improvements are and support our proposals by signing the petitions now being circulated around the county. RAPPAHANNOCK CITIZENS FOR QUALITY EDUCATION DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR the Virginia Senate Ernie Schlabach (center) toured Rappahannock’s country stores last Wednesday with Diane Bird (left), Aubrey Keyser (right) and Douglas Baumgardner (not pictured). - From Both BarrelsLegislators W ant To Streamline Robb’s Cabinet By GEORGE BOWLES The General Assembly’s watch-dog agency chose Gov. Chuck Robb’s home turf last week as the place to detonate a political bombshell of considerable firepower, but of mixed accuracy. Staff members of the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission, better known in Capitol circles as JLARC, created the stir with a number of proposals they made to a meeting of the Governor’s Commission on Critical Re-evaluation. The latter panel was created by Robb to look for ways to cut back on state regulations and streamline the Commonwealth’s bureaucracy. For starters, the JLARC staffers opined that the governor had erred by publishing an executive order appointing his senior executive assistant, David K. McCloud, as his office chief of staff. In this capacity McCloud has new authority, including substantial oversight of cabinet functions. The JLARC staff said Robb should rescind the order and have the legislature create the post. The lawmakers could then confirm McCloud in his new responsibilities. The staffers also recommend that the position of Secretary of Education be abolished and replaced by an “educational policy coordinator.” They pointed out that the State Board of Education already has constitutional responsibility for the state’s elementary and secondary school systems while the Council of Higher Education oversees the colleges and universities. Thus, according to the findings, the Secretary of Education does not have enough managerial responsibility to justify his job. In addition, the staff recommended that the responsibilities of two other cabinet posts be reshuffled and that another be split into two jobs. The Secretary of Transportation would take over supervision of commercial concerns from the present Secretary of Commerce and Resources, thus becoming the Secretary of Commerce and Transportation. The Secretary of Commerce and Resources would then become the Secretary of Natural and Cultural Resources. The report also recommends that the duties of the Secretary of Administration and Finance be divided, and that separate cabinet posts be established for each function. The change would raise the present Director of the Budget to full cabinet rank. Since this is one of the'most critical jobs in state government, the change woud appear appropriate. Beyond all this, The JLARC report recommended that the number of independent agencies be slashed from 85 to 69, and that the authority of about 20 citizens boards be consolidated or curtailed. some oi the other suggestions also make sense. For example, the present arrangement of having both the commercial and environmental interests of the state lumped together in the same secretariat. Commerce and Resources, has always been awkward. These interests are frequently at war with each other. Also, the idea of pulling the state’s farflung environmental protection shops together under a single umbrella agency is appealing. This would consolidate the functions of the State Water Control Board, the Air Pollution Control Board, the Council on the Environment, and the Division of Mined Land Reclamation. It would also bring in the Health Department’s Bureau of Solid and Hazardous Waste, Bureau of Toxic Substances Information and its oversight of waste-water treatment facilities. The new Umbrella Agency would probably be called the State Departmen of Environmental Regulation. But the first two of the JLARC staffs proposals make less sense, and have understandably come under fire from the governor. Indeed, they may be seen as a somewhat grumpy intrusion by the legislative branch of government into the proper business of the executive branch. l he designation ot McCloud as Robbs chief of staff was coordinated with and approved by the office of the Attorney General before it was announced. There appears to be no question about its legal standing. Beside this, it should be remembered that every governor for the past four decades has had someone serving in a similar capacity, although with, perhaps, a different title. While Robb’s appointment of McCloud was more formal, functionally and historically there was nothing unique about it. The proposal to dump the Department of Education was interesting in that it may have had its origin in the arcane politics of the state Capitol. Since the advent of the Robb administration, there has reportedly been a genteel turf fight going on between Dr. Gordon K. Davies, the director of the Council of Higher Education and Dr. John T. Casteen III, the Secretary of Education. Some Capitol observers suspect that the council’s lobbyists may have had a hand in the JLARC recommendation. As one administration spokesman delicately put it, “Davies and Casteen have different agendas.” Robb and the state college presidents have rallied strongly to the defense of the Education Department, saying it should be strengthened rather than eliminated. It should be noted that these proposals are staff recommendations only, and have not been considered by the full commission. On Nov. 15 the governor will present his own reorganization recommendations to JLARC. They will likely coincide with some of the staff proposals. But those involving McCloud and the Department of Education will not be among them. There is an old saying around the state Capitol which the Robb people believe applies in these cases. That saying is: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!”

I do not foresee any reason why I would ever have to disqualify myself on account of a conflict of interest and I have repeatedly stated in the course of this campaign that I intend to limit my private practice and personal affairs to make sure that my private business will not interfere — directly or indirectly — with my duties as commonwealth’s attorney. “As I indicated in my response to previous questions, I think I’m well qualified by experience to advise the board of supervisors, planning commission and board of zoning appeals on zoning as well as other matters and I have done so on an informal basis upon request from time to time over the past two years. “Second, with respect to the school board, as you know, due to the complexities of state and federal laws and regulations, educational law has developed into a very specialized field. The Rappahannock County School Board has seen fit to seek the advise and counsel of an expert in this field, a man who represents many school boards across the state of Virginia. I will certainly make myself available to the school board for routine legal matters and should they wish me to do so, I would be willing to work with Mr. Stone in an effort to reduce their legal expenses and put these needed funds to work for the direct benefit of students, if possible. However, as I have said, my role as an advisor to the school board will depend in large part on the wishes of the members of that board.” 4. As commonwealth's attorney, you have an obligation to enforce the Virginia Code which includes the Freedom of Information Act. Do you foresee any conflict between that responsibility and your responsibilities as county attorney to advise and represent local governing bodies? If a conflict involving FOI arises, which responsibility takes precedent? If called upon for advice, how will you interpret FOI exclusions—broadly or narrowly? Will you work to persuade governing bodies to follow the intent rather than the letter of the law? “With respect to the first part of your question, the Code of Virginia enacted by the General Assembly provides that the commonwealth’s attorney shall also serve as county attorney in counties having a population of less than 35,000 people. It also provides that the Freedom of Information Act is to be enforced by the commonwealth’s attorney. Apparently, the General Assembly sees no conflict between the two jobs and neither do I. “It would be my duty as county attorney to advise my client, in this case the county, to comply fully with the law. However, should a situation arise in which such a conflict arose, my duty to enforce the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act as commonwealth’s attorney would take precedence. “With respect to the second part of your question, regarding the interpretation of the Freedom of Information Act, it is unnecessary to look any farther than the statute itself. Section 2.1340.1 entitled “Policy of the Chapter,” states that ‘It is the purpose of the General Assembly by providing this chapter to ensure to the people of this Commonwealth ready access to records in the custody of public officials and free entry to meetings of public bodies wherein the business of the people is being conducted. This chapter recognizes that the affairs of government are not intended to be conducted in an atmosphere of secrecy since at all times the public is to be the beneficiary of any action taken at any level of government. To the end that the purposes of this chapter may be realized, it shall be liberally construed to promote an increased awareness by all persons of governmental activities and afford every opportunity to citizens to witness the operations of government. Any exception or exemption from applicability shall be narrowly constured in order that no thing which should be public may be hidden from any person.’ “Recently, the Supreme Court of Virginia had occasion to determine the applicability of the Freedom of Information Act in a case involving the City of Danvill a and in its opinion, the Su preme Court merely quoted the very words of the statute which I have just read. “So to answer your question, I do not believe there is any difference between the intent and the letter of the law. Actually, it is a very refreshing statute in that it can be read and understood by any citizen. It says exactly what it means, as I have just indicated, and, as the Supreme Court of Virginia has ruled, it means what it says.” 5. The position of commonwealth’s attorney for Rappahannock County is a part-time job. How parttime do you foresee it being ? If you are elected, what affect will that have on your private practice? How will you modify your practice so as to avoid conflict between your private legal business and your responsibilities as commonwealth’s attorney? “I think your question assumes something that is not necessarily true and is generally misunderstood by the public. I do not believe that the position of commonwealth’s attorney is a parttime job in Rappahannock County, especially considering the duties which the commonwealth’s attorney must also perform as county attorney. The budget for the commonwealth’s attorney’s office, including salaries and expenses, is around $34,000. I think the people of Rappahannock County are entitled to expect the commonwealth’s attorney to give the duties of that office top priority. “The statute merely provides that in counties having a population of more than 35,000, the commonwealth’s attorney may not engage in the private practice of law. As I have said many times, I intend to give my full time and attention to the duties of commonwealth’s attorney and limit my private law practice to the extent necessary to eliminate any possible conflict of interest between my duties as a public official and my private business.” 6. The public is generally critical of the number of cases settled by plea bargains, particularly by nolle prosequi (where the commonwealth declines to prosecute, usually because of a defect in evidence, but reserves the right to reinstate charges at a later date). Under what type of conditions would you, as commonwealth’s attorney, consider a plea bargain? What type of educational programs far law enforcement personnel would you institute with the aim of reducing defects in evidence and the need to nol pros cases? “In recent years, there’s been a nationwide trend toward plea bargaining which in many localities is dictated Shenandoah. We’ve been putting the heat on American winters _ for more than 50 years. Our complete line of Shenandoah wood and coal stoves now includes more than 20 models, each one designed, built, and tested to meet the high standards of economy, performance, reliability and quality associated with the name Shenandoah for over half a century Shenandoah Heating America with America's natural resources. Marshall Farmer’s Co-op Marshall 364-1533 Remington Farmer’s Co-op Remington 439-3254 Warrenton Farmer’s Co-op Warrenton 347-7100 Culpeper Farmer’s Co-op Culpeper 825-2200 Rappahannock Farmer’s Co-op Sperryville 987-8555 by the fact that there are simply not enough courtroom facilities, judges and prosecutors to take every case to trial. “I do not believe that is the situation in Rappahannock County. We do have adequate facilities and time to take more cases to trial and as commonwealth’s attorney, I intend to increase the number of jury trials in Rappahannock County. I intend to put an absolute end to unnecessary plea bargaining and I will not enter in to any plea bargain merely for the sake of expediency. “There are some cases in which plea bargaining must be considered as an alternative. If it is obvious that there is a serious defect in the evidence, taking the case to trial might involve an unreasonable nsk that a criminal will go free on account of some technicality. In some cases, the commonwealth may be able to elicit useful testimony and evidence concerning other crimes from a defendant through plea bargaining. “Only in these types of cases should plea bargaining be considered. “With respect to the second part of your question, sometimes a deficit in evidence is no one’s fault. However, I do see a need to work closely with our law enforcement personnel, to consult with them about every case as early in the investigative process as possible and to meet with them regularly in an effort to keep them abreast of current developments in the law.” 7. Do you feel that county ordinances should be codified and warrants written under county—rather than state—laws? What purpose would this serve ? ‘The issue raised by your question is not new. I think this is a decision that is not up to the commonwealth’s attorney but rather to the board of supervisors. It might provide additional revenue to the county but this would depend on the volume of criminal offenses that might conceivably, be prosecuted under a county ordinance. It seems to me that if there is support for this concept, it would require more study and analysis to determine whether it would really be worth while. Should the board of supervisors request such a study or request me to draft a proposed set of county ordinances, I will make myself available to do so. ” (Continued from Page 1) i. As commonwealth's attorney, you have an obligation to enforce the Virginia Code which includes the Freedom of Information Act. Do you foresee any conflict between that responsibility and your responsibilities as county attorney to advise and represent local governing bodies? If a conflict involmng FOI arises, which responsibility takes precedent? If called upon for advice, hou> will you interpret FOI exclusions—broadly or narrowly? Will you work to persuade governing bodies to follow the intent rather than the letter of the law? “Unfortunately, this question hits on a problem— the built-in conflict in any county where the commonwealth’s attorney is also county attorney. As county attorney, I may be called on to advise Rappahannock’s governing boards. As commonwealth’s attorney, it would be my duty to prosecute those same boards for violations of Freedom of Information. “As a practical matter, if I advised local governing bodies regarding the Freedom of Information Act, I would expect them to follow my advice and then there would be no Freedom of Information violation. And if those local governing bodies have outside counsel, that would remove any conflict 1 might have in FOl prosecution.” ‘‘Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act is remedial legislation. In the words of the act itself, it’s meant to be broadly interpreted, that is the exceptions art' to be narrowly construed. “Hopefully, the letter of the law reflects the intent of the legislation. I’d be reluctant to impose my personal feelings where the clear letter of the law states other wise. However, clearly cases Sometimes arise where if the letter of the law is followed, an outcome unintended by the legislation would result. In those few cases I would use common sense to see that the intent of the law is carried out ." 5. The position of com rnonwealth's attorney for Rappahannock Comity is a part-time job.

—Kappatiannock News Khoto/M May FUN FUNDRAISER: Exclusive concessionaires at the Rose Hill Farm calf sale Saturday include livestock club members: (1-r) Sussannah McNear, Adam Ross, Andrea Ross and Irvin Starks. Four-H Teaches By Doing A great way to learn is by doing things. To help youngsters learn by helping them do things is the goal of the Virginia 4-H program. Through more than 150 different projects and activities, youngsters can learn about new things, try something they have never tried before, and be introduced to new areas of the world in which they live. For more than 158,000 youngsters last year, this was the way to new and exciting possibilities. These young men and women are enrolled in 4-H either in their community clubs or through their school programs, said Kenneth A. Dawson, director of 4-H. The youngsters learned about projects like automotive care, bicycling and woodworking. They worked with large and small animals in the livestock projects. They trained dogs and cared for cats. They learned about computers, energy and conservation. “A common theme We Are Proud Of Our Rappaha u nock 4-H'ers Sentinel Alarm Systems P.O. Box 3 Castleton, Va. 22716 703-937-4976 Burglar Alarms, Safes & Fire Extinguishers through all of the projects that 4-H members learn is career education," said Dawson. “In all the projects they learn how an individual might make a living with skills like these, how these skills fit into another career field, or how these skills enhance the lifestyle.” As part of Cooperative Extension, the 4-H program gets its support and educational materials from the specialists at the land-grant universities Virginia Tech and Virginia State. However, the driving force of the program is the local volunteer leader. Most clubs are led by volunteers who share their time and talents to help the youngsters learn by doing. There were more than 10,400 adult and teenage leaders working with 4-H members in 1982. More information about local 4-H clubs is available from the Rappahannock Extension office at 675-3619. Grown-ups Who Make County 4-H Grow By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Toni and Randall Updike of Washington have worked with the livestock club since it started about five years ago. Probably the most active club, the livestock group has approximately 15 members and meets about once a month. Last weekend they ran the concession stand at the calf sale at Tom Massie’s, selling a lunch of hot dogs and soft drinks. They also plan to sell lunches during the House Tour on October 15-16. Regular activities include home demonstrations on sheep and hog care. Toni Updike says the club held a stock ring contest last year and demonstrated types of feed. They have also held displays of the types of tools veterinarians use while working on farm animals. She says she got involved in 4-H work because it was an interest of her husband’s. “Randall always worked with it,” she says, “and it’s something we want for our kids when they get older.” The livestock club is far from being a closed shop, though. The Randalls welcome new participants — both young and old. “I’m not the only one working,” says Joni. “All the parents are involved.” She also issued an invitation for new members. “We welcome anyone interested in showing either a hog, market lamb, or steer at the farm show next year,” she said. The livestock club recently elected officers for this year. They are: president David Beck, vice-president Joyce Starks, secretary April Adams and reporter Timmy Falla. Goat Club In just two years the Rappahannock 4-H members have produced a better breed of goat and created tougher competition for themselves. That’s the best result Joyce Adams of Flint Hill says she’s seen in her years of working with the goat club. From the start, the Rappahannock participants did well at the farm show in Culpeper, Adams says, but as they learned how to breed better animals by selecting stronger sires, they pushed themselves into tougher competition classes. * Adams added that the children have grown in finesse and confidence as well. They were all novice showers the first year she coached them and now they’re all fairly knowledgeable about both animal husbandry and showmanship. Last year the club went on a field trip to the Fredericksburg area to hear from Fauquier 4-H leader Mary Jo Fine on the different points of judging show animals. She spoke with them on hoof care, clipping, and ring handling. Otherwise, Adams says the goat club wasn’t as active last year as it might ave been. Many of its members also belonged to the rabbit club in Culpeper and were away on the weekends. Adams says the goat club hasn’t really gotten started this year. They haven’t met since last summer’s farm show in July, but. a renaissance is expected soon under the guidance of Phyllis Hibl of Amissville. Adams says it was “interesting working with the children and watching them improve the breed8,” but she doesn’t have the tiijrie that she would like to devote to 4-H. Adams says Phyllis Hibl is a natural successor because she keeps what practically amounts to a whole 4-H club at her Amissville home—11 children, eight of her own and “three borrowed” and half a dozen goats. Two of her children were officers last year: president Katie Hibl and vice president Chip Hibl. Hible says it’s her first time as a 4-H leader but as one of the three main mothers involved with the goat club, she decided it was “my turn to take over.” “They’re both so busy” she said of past leaders Joyce Adams and Linda Holt. Judging by her enthusiastic plans, Hibl should be pretty busjr during the coming year. “It should be a lot of fun this year,” she says. She plans for new project books with photographs and the story of the club’s monthly progress with the usual required record book which she calls “a little dry” as a companion piece. Hibl is. excited about the project book; she says she hopes the'club will work on it every month to keep it up to date. She remembers a field trip the chib took last year with Fauquier 4-H leader Mary Jo Fines to see a cheesemaking operation and hopes such projects will be typical of this year’s agenda. Weekly meetings are in store for the goat club once they get organized, which Hibl says should be within the next couple of weeks. First she plans to get together with the other mothers to plan activities she says, adding that the weekly meetings will be on Sunday afternoons to avoid conflicts with the other 4-H clubs that meet after school which goat club members might want to also participate in. As an example of their varied interest, Hibl says goat club members were at the farm show on past years also showing swAne, rabbits, dogs and sheep. Some Rappahannock members will take part when the Culpeper rabbit club hosts the concession stand for the Central Virginia Rabbit Breeders meeting on October 15. Last year there were 1012 members in the goat club, Hibl says, adding, “It’s a good club... Even though there were not a lot of meetings, they meet informally.

4-H Center Is Perfect Home For Summer Community Camp —Rappahannock News Photo/D. Hutchison JUNIOR LEADER Vinnie Caporuscio was all smiles despite the early morning hour as he raised the flag at 4-H overnight camp at Harmony Hollow. By PALI DELEVITT ALLEN Rappahannock N*wg Contributing Writer No one could ask for a more beautiful faacility or more perfect setting for campers than the new Northern Virginia 4-H Center in Harmony Hollow, just south of Front Royal. Its green, rolling 250 acres connect with the Appalachian Trail and boast a magnificent new swimming pool, tennis courts, basketball courts, soccer field, baseball diamond, three acre lake, stables and space for just about every kind of sport or activity one could wish for. It also has several fine shelters and dormitories to house the many overnight 4H campers who come from all over Northern Virginia to take advantage of this special place When we first conceived of a plan to create a community cooperative summer day camp program, we knew it couldn’t work without the kind of facility that w'ould provide the proper environment. We were extremely fortunate to be guided to the Northern Virginia 4-H Center and find them so responsive to our request to try out our program there. The community cooperative summer day camp program became t he community cooperative 4-H summer day camp program. It was a dream come true to have a summer day camp that provided quality recreational activities for youngsters as well as providing jobs for local teenagers. Last summer, our week long pilot program proved how fantastic the experience can be for all involved. Everyone worked and played hard with tremendous results. The kids loved it, the junior counselors loved it and the parents of the tired but happy campers were delighted to have a program designed to meet the energy level of kids on summer vacation. It was a thrill to watch both boys and girls try their skills at so many different activities. Some had never swam or played soccer or tumbled before but all of them, even the youngest ones, tried their best. It was a wonderful reward for them and for us to see the big grins of delight as they scored their first basket, completed a successful somersault or juni|HT off the diving board for the first time. And the junior counselors, high school students themselves, rose to an incredible level of adult responsibility as they found themselves looked up to. and even “adored", as instructors and leaders. This was our greatest source of pride, and we hope theirs, as they found the qualities of leadership and caring within themselves. The 4-H cooperative day camp ran from 1* a.m. to M:M<) p m. and included six activity periods and a half hour for lunch. Activities included swimming, tennis, arts and crafts, drama, music, basketball, tumbling, soccer, volleyball, canoeing and nature hikes. The entire program was so successful that John I)oo little, director of the Northern Virginia 4-H t enter, agreed to let it be expanded to eight weeks for this coming summer. The camp will run from June 17-August 10 and add to its scheduled activities such courses as horseback riding, archery, baseball, dance and possibly computer lessons. We also intend to hire more teenagers as counselors in accord with one of our major goals—providing jobs for qualified high school students. We hope to continue to offer tlu> program at $30 per week and let families register for whichever weeks of the summer they want. We also hope to be able to offer scholarships, funds permitting. Our biggest job right now is to raise enough money, both through fund raising activities slich as tin* upcoming vintage fashion show and possibly through foundation grants, to make this program the rich and rewarding experience it can be for as many children and teenagers as possible. How Watch Roots Did you ever wonder what roots of a plant looked like under the soil?” the leader asked 4-H club members. Here’s an experiment that gives a look at the developments of roots. It’s from Thomas W. Simpson, Virginia Tech Extension agronomist. Materials needed include: the top of a plastic bottle; scissors; about a quart of soil; water; 12x24inch piece of window glass; llx23-inch sheet of thin plastic; tape; small knife; seed such as corn, cotton, or soybean; four bricks; and a mirror. 1. Cut the top from a plastic bottle just below the shoulder. Fashion three legs about a quarter of an inch high on the lower rim of the top part. 2. Pulverize one quart of soil. Slowly add water until the soil can be formed into a ball which is not muddy, but moist enough to hold its shape. 3. Spread about two cups of this moist soil evenly on a 12x24-inch window glass, leaving about an inch around the edge free of soil. 4. Make an x-shaped cut in the center of the sheet of plastic. 5. Fit this hole around the neck of the bottle and center it on the soil-covered glass. Tape the plastic to the neck of the bottle. Carefully spread the plastic sheet over the soil and fasten the edges to the glass with tape. 6. Fill the bottle top with moistened soil and insert one seed. 7. Press the seed oneinch into the moistened soil and cover with soil. Keep moist. 8. Place in a well-lighted spot but not in direct sunlight or near a source of heat. 9. Place the window glass with all this on it on the bricks so that there is room underneath to place the mirror to observe the growth of roots. 10. Check daily for signs of roots. They usually appear in four or five days at approximately 80 degrees Fahrenheit. 11. If the seed fails to germinate, remove the old seed and the surrounding soil and repeat steps 7, 8, 9 and 10. 12. Once a week draw the outline of the root system on the bottom side of the glass. Use a different color wax pencil each week. In a few weeks there will be a growth record of the roots. — Photo Courtesy Pali Dclevilt OOPS! — Junior leader Raynetta Gheen and her co-skipper take a spill in the 4-H center’s lake.

Grown ■ups Who Make County 4-H Grow (Continued from Page 6) They help each other with their goats. It’s a tight group. They help each other out more than some of the bigger clubs might.” Living with four Alpine does, one Toggenberg doe and her kid and a two-yearold wither “on the way to the slaughter house," Hibl has found a lot to be learned about goats and thinks the club members have learned a lot. She’s looking.forward to leading them as they learn more during the coming year. Horse and Pony Club Horse and pony club leader Jane Naramore of Amissville says the most satisfaction she gets from 4H work is when former judging contestants come back to her and say, "Hey, 1 really used that.’’ Club members interested in going into judging must become familiar with all horse breeds, the parts of a horse and conformation faults. In competition, they must be able to rank a group of horses and then justify their choices in oral arguments without notes. Last year four Rappahannock members went to state in the spring, but there weren’t enough in the same grade to constitute a team. They competed as individuals in two contests and Naramore says they did quite well although they didn't win. Competing were seniors Lewis Poore (last year’s club president) and Laura Adams and juniors Camilla Jones and C'orv Dermitt. Naramore says judging helps jiarticipants later when shopping for horses. They learn how conformation defects will affect performance. Thus they can avoid a less expensive horse that might pose problems later, especially with faulty legs. Other skills that participants sharpen are in the areas of public speaking, note taking, formulating ideas and making decisions. I hese abilities, Naramore says “will go on no matter what they do.” Attending contests also offers members the chance to “meet a lot of good people in the horse industry and see a lot of different kinds of horses." Also, judging is just one example of the group’s activities that doesn’t involve owning a horse. Narkmore likes to stress that horse ownership is not a prerequisite for joining the horse and pony dub. It was organized about five years ago lor all young people who generally > enjoy learning about horses and want to know more about how to handle them and care for them. Some members borrow horses for riding or participate only in the activities which don’t require them. Last year the club started being active in late November and sometimes met every week, especially towards spring before the big contests. Naramore says the group went to the Washington International Show in October, toured a few area horse farms, attended clinics and held a Christmas party. There were about six members. Regarding plans for this year, Naramore says, “we just need more members. We’re just not active at all now.” Naramore expects the group will get together again in the spring before next year s contests and added the possibility of forming a trail riding group. She says some of the members have acquired several horses and the abundance of hunt trails in the area would make for a lot of interest, but she says, “it will take a lot of work.” Naramore says it’s especially important for other adults, particularly horse owners to get involved in 4H work. Riding is an important activity for club members and not enough members were horse owners last year to do as much as in past years. Naramore says she’s been with the club since its start. She's seen “big groups and small” and loved every one of them. In-School Clubs Extension agent Birgitt Thornhill says she's working with the 4th grade in school clubs, but she’s “trying to get some leaders.” The 4th grade clubs are an introduction to a variety of possible 4-H activities. The pupils learn basic parliamentary procedure. When they have those principles mastered they will elect officers. The club members study wildlife, crafts such as building birdfeeders and in the spring — embryology. That’s a branch of biology that will be taught by incubating eggs until spring chickens are hatched. 1 he ;>th graders are learning about soil and water conservation under the guidance of S(’S agent Lue Walters. KCES teacher Lucvann Mae.ver advises the <>th grade club on the properties of electricity. Maeyers says this is the second year she has worked with the in-school 4-H club. She likes it because it offers school children “extra material that doesn’t cost the system anything and it’s interesting. It's different. It’s not the same face doing the same thing all the time.” Extension agent Birgitt Thornhill provides resource people and pamphlets, Maeyers says, that make the club more stimulating than ordinary classroom studies. Electric company representatives visit the club to speak on electricity and 4-H films also are available. In a typical project the club members learn how to generate their own electricity to operate a power bicycle. Maeyers says the 4-H brochures enable her to teach ahead” so the activities will be more meaningful. Maeyer’s favorite project is “spring chickens.” As much as she talks about 4-H, her conversation keeps coming back to those incubated Faster eggs. To her it’s the culmination of club activities that start in October and continue through the school year. “Some hatch and some don t, she says. “I never smelled anything quite that rotten as the ones that don’t.” Hut the chicks who make it through the shell are a delight to pupils and teachers alike. That’s why the spring chickens project is repeated at various grade levels in 4H clubs and never gets boring. Maevers says the incubators are expensive and the school system would have to finance such projects some other way — if they were taught at all. Maeyers thinks the 4-H is doing a great service for Rappahannock County Schools. _ A __ —Photo Courtesy Pali Delevitt PAINTIN THE CAMP RED - and white — and yellow — and green, 4H junior leaders Jon MeCullough and Marie Davis decorate the faces of their young charges in a theater workshop at Harmony Hollow's 4-H center. jf.i* PATHWAYS ‘ TO THE FUTURE 4-H Horse Clubs Attract Plus 6,000 For youngsters who want to learn to ride and care for horses, the Virginia Tech horse program has all the ingredients. The Virginia horse program. part of the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service 4-H program, has more than 6,000 Virginia youth enrolled in it. Members participate in a series of projects, said program coordinator Arden N. Huff, Virginia Tech Extension animal scientist. Across the state, youth are involved in hundreds of local events including meetings, farm tours, trail rides, shows, parades, and clinics. It is not necessary to own a horse to be active in the 4-H program. Popular is the horseless horse project in which youngsters learn about equine science, safety or horsemanship. The program led by volunteers and coordinated by Extension staff members has many exciting features leading to the top event at the Virginia State Fair. More than 250 youngsters compete in the horse show held over a four-day period in Richmond. The youth in the program also use their skills to help others. Some Virginia groups conduct programs to help the handicapped enjoy riding and learn about horses and ponies. "With the background of such a program,” said Huff, “the youngsters increase their knowledge of safety precautions to prevent injury and enjoy participating in one of the state’s most popular recreation forms.” RAPPAHANNOCK’S REPRESENTATIVES to a week long clu£> congress in Blacksburg in June included (1-rCCharlotte Magee, Tim Falls and Laura Adams. The congress is only one of many out of town events in which active members might participate. 4-H Congress By CHARLOTTE MAGEE State Congress for 4-H was held this year in June from the 20th to the 24th at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. Members of 4-H from all the counties in Virginia attended. There were many activities we could participate in, such as “learn by doing” workshops and competitive events. Near the end of the week, all the different districts competed against each other in a Sports Challenge that included basketball, softball and track. It was an exciting learning experience for the three of us who went from Rappahannock County. I hope that more students from Rappahannock will participate next year. 4-H Bike Safety Check For safety’s sake, everyone should know how to check bicycles. Here is a list used by 4-H’er^ to do a safety check. It comes from Bernard L. Parsons, Virginia Tech Extension agricultural engineer. 1. ) Stand beside the bike and hold the handlebars as though riding. If the handlebars turn up and down, they need adjustment. 2. ) Lift the weight from the front end to see if the cones in the front end of the frame are in proper adjustment. 2.) Hold the front wheel with one hand and the handlebar with the other. See if the handlebar post will twist out of position. If it will, it needs adjustment. 4.) Steady the bike with one hand. With the other, grasp the tire or rim near the front fork. Do the wheelv. hub bearings feel quite loose, or is the front wheel held securely? (Be sure the wheel nuts on each side of the fork are firm when you make this test.) 5. ) Test the rear wheel the same way. 6. ) The chain should have about half-inch movement up and down. If it is too tight, the bike will run hard and tire the rider. If it is too loose, it will wear rapidly on the sprockets. Have it adjusted to the correct tension. 7. ) Is the seat held firmly in place? Try the seat for height. The rider’s leg should be nearly straight when the pedal is in its lowest position. 8. ) Turn the bike over and let it rest on the handlebars. Hold the frame with one hand and the pedal crank near the end with the other. There should not be too much looseness in the crank assembly? 9. ) While the bike is upside down, turn the wheels to check them for wobble. Check the tires for wear and cuts. If there is much damage, replace them. Also, try the coaster brake to see how it works. 10. ) Are the wheels in good alignment? Are the rims straight and do they run in the center between the forks? If any spokes are broken, replace them to help keep the rims straight. The wheels can be centered in the fork by a simple adjustment. 11) Are the pedals in good condition? If they are bent and weathered badly it is usually easier to replace them than to repair them. . _ , ,,, —Photo Courtesy Pali Delevjtt AT HOME IN THE WATER after just a tew days of swimming lessons, camper Grace Reynolds leaps from the diving board into the arms of junior leader Jim McCullough.

Rappakannock Journal •Farm •Business •Garden •Rural Life Corn Crop Crash Due To Drought Agrinet announcers are saying the 1983 Virginia corn crop is the worst ever. Worse even than during the drought and depression of 1930. The corn yield that year was 50 percent, says Ray Shriner; in 1983 it was only 48 percent. The most recent crop report from the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services projected average yields of 50 bushels per acre compared to 105 bushels in 1982. The state’s farmers will harvest 375,000 acres this year, compared to 595,000 last year. Participation in the PIK program accounts for most of the acreage reduction and further contributes to higher food prices this year. Shenandoah Valley corn prices in late September ranged from $3.90 per bushel to $4.15. But extension agents in Blacksburg predict a drop in com, grain, and soybeans as high fall feed prices force livestock producers to cut back. David E. Kenyon at the Virginia Extension Service says analysis of the 1974 and 1980 drought year markets shows that corn and soybean prices peaked during and immediately following the harvest and then declined. The pattern runs contrary to normal years when prices tend to continue rising for several months after harvest. Kenyon goes so far as to predict further falls next year due to overplanting. Current high harvest prices may encourage “planting fence row to fence row,” Kenyon says, adding that the state may see a nine billion bushel corn crop next year. Kenyon doesn’t expect much participation in any FARMERS: Now is an excellent time to spray your pastures to get rid of those troublesome weeds. Our fleet of modern equipment and trained drivers are ready to serve you now! Please call today and discuss your fall spraying needs with us.

The USD A February planting intentions report should also give farmers an idea of price trends, Kenyon says. He suggested, “It would be wise for farmers to commit as much of next year’s intended crop as possible at this fall’s prices. It would be reasonable to price 20 or 30 percent or even more of next year’s crop now as long as farmers don’t commit more than they could produce in a poor yield year.” VDACS figures showed soybeans selling around $9 bushel in late September with the crop in poor condition and the bulk of the harvest season still several weeks away. Both yields and test weights were down from last year. The most recent VDACS report estimated Virginia farmers would harvest some 610,000 acres of soybeans this fall, an estimate likely to be on the high side since some acreage will not be harvested at all. Yields as of September 1 were projected at 17 bushels per acre, a figure not expected to change in the next report. Contract prices for new crop wheat were in the neighborhood of $3.50 a bushel and prices were expected to drift lower as PIK grain began moving to market and harvest pressure increased over the next several weeks. But at the Virginia Farm Bureau, spokesmen are scoffing at the “artificially induced higher prices for feed grains and soybeans.” In a report to Congress VFBF officials posed the problem: “What good are $4 corn and $9 soybean prices if you don’t have any to sell?” Attention Farmers and orchardists may renew Private Pesticide Applicator’s License by attending the renewal class to be held October 7, 1:30 p. m., at the court house in Washington.

Tots Take Top Tributes Four-year-old Scotty Updike is an old pro; he's been showing animals at the state fair since he was two. So it was quite natural for him to take his two-vearold brother Justin under wing and teach him the proper ringside manner in Richmond this year. The two came back with the champion banner in the open pair market hogs competition. They also showed the champion gilt. Their father Randall Updike says the boys washed and showed the pigs and as for raising them — there’s nothing to it. The market hogs are purebred Hampshire born and raised at Skyway Hills, Updike's Washington farm. The hoys helped feed them when they were piglets, but as they grew they were put on self-feeders. Now o'/- months old. the hogs weigh an average of 24k pounds. “Figs are easy to show," Updike added. The kids just followed the hogs around the ring in Richmond keeping them in line with a cane. They showed against adults. And they won. Updike says there were approximately 200 pigs in the entire show . He's proud of the pigs from Skyway Hills — and Scotty ami Justin.

Operating expenses were down sharply while income remained level or in some cases increased from last year. Fertilizer purchased this fall can shift a part of the 1984 crop expense into 1983. PIK payment and PIK grain sales may have already shifted some of 1984 income into 1983, which justifies shifting some of the 1984 expenses into 1983. Minimize Spring Planting Delays: Save valuable spring work days by applying fertilizer now. Tight schedules are due to occur in the spring. Fertilize Idled Acres: Land that was idled in 1983 can be fertilized right away. This helps make the best use of labor and equipment. Acres idled under PIK programs were generally un derfertilized. Many of these fields will return to production in 198-1. Soil testing and fertilization now are essential to avoid time constraints next spring. l ake Advantage of Kail Tillage: Many soils respond to fall tillage. Fertilizer can bo applied early and mixed in with the soil in the root zone. More choices of fertilizer materials to use an* available in the fall and winter and farmers can be more flexible in the method of application. Fields getting 1’ & K plowed or chiseled into the soil this fall will be ready for spring planting with fewer trips over the field. 1‘ & K can safely be applied this fall and winter on fields with less than an eight percent slope that have good residue cover, even without tilling at application. Consider High Yield Nutrient Needs: Considerably higher yields have been produced in recent years. Have fertilizer require ments been increased to meet crop nutrient needs? Maintenance fertilizer needs also increase as the yield level climbs due to improved fertility and management which is a must to keep corn production profitable. In rotation, fertilize to provide adequate nutrients to all crops, including increased maintenance needs. Reduce Soil Compaction: Soil compaction can be a serious problem in crop production. It restricts root growth, reduces water infiltration and lowers yield and profit. Fall fertilization helps eliminate the need to run heavy application equipment over wet fields in the spring. Soils are usually drier and less susceptible to compaction in the fall Freezing and thawing over the winter may also help break up any compaction that does occur from fall for tilization.

Suspecting foul play. Sheriff Buntin assigned deputy John Henry Woodwad to search the county's highways and by-ways for flattened cat. When no body was found, law enforcement officials assumed it was a simple case of kitten-napping. Ms. Prudence hoped the foundling had found a good home. To her, the event was no cat-astophe. There’s one in every crowd: Atoka is for Republicans, or so everyone thinks. But there reaming around at the country supper with Senators John Warner and Barry Goldwater, District Chairman Champ Clark, Delegate Andy Guest, presidential press secretary James Brady and other GOP notables was one of Rappahannock’s notable Democrats. But he didn’t line up with the rest of the county contingent to have his picture snapped by the RN photographer. Traveling incognito at the Grand Old Party’s party, the CA of RC refused even to get a name tag once some joker informed him that the guest lists would be released to the local press. * * * And there’s one on every course: Judge Rayner V. Snead, playing golf for the first time in his life last weekend, scored a hole in one at the Capon Springs Hotel course in West Virginia. Following the lead for fishermen who brag about the one that got away, golfers have been known to boast of the one that rolled in. But in the judge’s case, there were three witnesses to the feat. However, no one’s telling his final score and according to reports, the judge has announced that he's giving up golf while he’s still ahead. Three cheers for the court house crowd! Not only did they come up with the perfect name for the courthouse cat —Juris Prudence — but they’ve also sent Ms. Prudence to the vet’s to be fixed before she could populate the town with little jurors. If only the rest of the county's animal owners would be as responsible. **** A note went home from school to the Catwauler residence in Smog Hollow last week. It seems that little Blossom had been misbehaving in the lunch room. Now her daddy Apple Catwauler believes that he should keep order at home and the teachers should keep order at school. Course, he wants to hear if his young ’uns do anything serious but he expects the school people to take care of minor prohlems in their bailiwick. Well. Blossom’s teacher reported that the little girl had committed the terrible crime of throwing mashed potatoes in the lunch room. “Where did they land, ma’m?” asked Catwauler. “Right in Johnny Smith's plate,” was the answer. “Why, that’s just terrible!” Catwauler commiserated. “The wife and I will have to talk to that child as soon as she gets home. We surely taught her to aim better than that!” Advertising produces a profit. Sunday were Mrs. F. D. Coffey and Mr. and Mrs. Ranny Aylor and Heather, all of Sperryville, Mrs. Bob Lewis of Huntly, Charles Corder, Jr. of Front Royal and Bonnie and Connie Ritenour.

News From Castleton By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock New* Correspondent 937-4031 It would violate fair play were we to discuss Castleton candidates with the election getting so close, but we w ill say that some of those races have elicited a lot of local interest. Ruth Kilbv swore in 17 new voters w hen she came to the Castleton fire hall two weeks ago and says more Castleton residents came to the courthouse to register later. She’s getting close to her goal of 3,000 registered voters in the county and says Castleton has a record for the most new ones of anywhere else. Nice going! And so, without mentioning anyone who’s running for anything, here's who visited whom and matters of other recent concern: Eleanor Switzer went to see Corrine Payne the day she got home from the hospital. Mrs. Payne had been there for two weeks and was glad to be back home. Mrs. Switzer suggests neighbors send her a few cards and “words of encouragement." We agree—and a few homela jmegrow n ch rysant hemu ms might he nice, too. The Switzers entertained evangelist Roger Freeman and his family at dinner Friday night. A big party is planned for Sunday at the Brian and Mary Tauss home. Milton and Lois Hargreaves are coming from Florida. They’ve never seen Rappahannock before, but recently retired and now have the time to make the trip; so the rest of the family is coming to Castleton to have a little family reunion. Shirley Ashley is coming from Chevy Chase and Russell Bertram from Springfield, and Mary’s parents Clarence and Virginia Bertram are coming from Oakton. Needless to say, everyone's looking forward to the day. Kim Jacobson says everything is ready for the 19th century style crafts fair to lx* held in D C. October 21-28 except for you all to mark it on your calendars and promise to go. It will be like something out of a history book—well worth the trip. Kim is having a dyeing workshop in l).C. on October 15-lb; she cancelled the one that was to In* held in Cast let on Saturday. It would also be worth the trip for any artisans, crafters, artists, and others wanting to learn how she colors her own yarn with natural vegetable dyes. She gathers pine needles from Aaron Mountain in the winter time with which she makes the greens to weave into her marvelous tapestries. In the summer she chooses purple clover flowers, pokeberries, all sorts of wild and wonderful things. Susan Jewell must have seen some wonderful things in D.C. Saturday. She was one of the Brownies planning to board a bus at eight in the morning for a field trip to the Capitol Children's Museum. Castleton’s Brownie is in the first grade at RCES. Fourth grade teacher Lynn Myrtle stopped by to see Judy Hitt Sunday with sunny Rebecca (the gorgeous red-head two-monthold we reported on two weeks ago). It seems that Rebecca is as sweet natured as she is pretty; she never fussed the whole time. Rather, she lay in Kerrie's lap quietly considering various womanly concerns. Kathy and Alan Knighting had dinner with Mitch and Judy Sunday, but Brandy chose to stay with Martha and Roy Lee. Judy put on the nice big chili pot—it’s getting to be that cool weather when spicy chili goes right well with anything, anytime. We don't know if Mitch was still speaking Latin. The week before he allowed as how KMT class is as tough as medical school and he named all the parts of the body from the maxilla to the patella to prove it. Donna Fisher says dene is not spouting in Latin, "but he mumbles a lot." On see ond thought, she wondered whether he had picked up a smattering of some old for eign language at KMT class. On the other hand she figured it might have to do with his schedule, he worked seven days in a row last week and has a meeting every night this week. Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday Donald Hridenstine, happy birthday to you! (A little bird says it was Saturday.) The emergency is only temporarily assuaged at Amissville Baptist Church. Doris Donald says the men finally dug a well 47f> foot (loop that gives 1' gallons »t water por lninuto. Sho says that’s better than last week when tho wells were hollo dry, but not as good as it should he. She hopes for fall rains to raise the water table or a “big snow or two.” And you know, that isn't so far away. The next tiling you know tho cold blizzards will he blowing and you'll he chopping wood and thinking like Aunt Michele says, “There's nothing makes you feel so contented as a roaring wind in the chimney and a purring cat on the hearth when it’s snowing outside." Better clean out your woodstove and call up a chimney sweep, neighbors, cause winter IS on its way.

Panthers Run A Perfect Race The unbeaten RCHS narriers tightened their hold on first place in Bull Run District’s cross country standings with another perfect score of 15 in a dual meet last Wednesday with George Mason. A stream of Panthers crossed the finish liny to take the top six spots and a 15-49 victory. (In cross country, low score wins. A team is awarded one point for first place, two points for second, three points for third and so on with a perfect score, 15, for the top five finishers.) Rappahannock’s first seven runners also broke the record for the 8.1 mile 7 George Mason course. Scott Keithley lowered the mark hv minutes instead of seconds, completing the race in 17:02 for first place. Ronnie Atkins was just four seconds behind him I 17:00) and Chris Caperton just 19 seconds back (17:21). Ricky Shaw was fourth in 1H:05, Craig Kenyon fifth in IS: 14 and Elwood Dodson sixth in 1S:47. George Mason’s top runner was seventh and then it was Rappahannock again: David Fishein eighth in 19:88, (also below the old record), John Dodson ninth in 20:20 and Patrick Coffey tenth in 20:88. New Girls' Record Rappahannock’s Karen Ludwick established a second record for the George Mason course, this one for jxirIs, as she crossed the line in 22:52, well ahead of four Mustang hoys and the entire girls’ contingent. Denise Eidson was the third finisher among the girls in 2(5:03. “Denise had a very good showing,” noted coach Ann Spieker, “She beat six George Mason girls.” With the Panthers in first place in the district, the cross country coach already had plenty to smile about. She had even more reason with the results from last week’s dual meet. “Even if we had eliminated all our juniors and seniors from the team, our ninth graders would have easily defeated George Mason.” In addition to r ishbein, Dodson and Coffey, who were beaten only by their older teammates and one Mustang runner, other JV Panthers were at the front of the pack. John Raney was 13th in 21:04, Jonathan Watson 14th in 21:10, Todd Williams 15th in 21:32 and Marc Streagle 19th in 23:05. In the coming week, the Panthers will face another strong Bull Run contender. On October 5, the RCHS harriers run against Stonewall Jackson in an away meet and on October 12, they again face the Generals in a tri-meet with Manassas Park. 1 OK Race Planned * Athletes are invited to "have fun — and run" in the Festival of Leaves Seventh Annual 10 K Race on Saturday.

The sophomore forward was deadly at the f ree throw line in last Thursday s double overtime win against George Mason. Soccer Team Cuts 5 From Margin Last Wednesday in a rematch with Eastern Mennonite, the Panthers bettered their performance by five ttoals. In their first outing against the boys from Harrisonburg in tiie season opener, the Panthers lost 13-0; the final in last week’s contest at RCHS was 0-1. The game was marked by perfect weather, excellent referring and good sportsmanship. Whistles for fouls were few as the two teams battled up and down the field, Rappahannock putting forth its best effort to date but still not enough to beat the well disciplined and highly skilled visitors. Coach Glenn Davis instituted a several changes in the RGHS line-up. Hob Baines was back in the goalie box and Lucky McCoy moved from halfback to sweeper fullback. James Dennis, goalie in the previous week’s matches, was returned to the front line. Eastern Mennonite’s smooth offense effortlessly tallied two quick goals in the first two minutes of the game. The Panthers tried to regroup but EM’s halfbacks zigged-zagged down the middle, always keeping a man on the sideline as a safety valve to take a pass when pressure mounted. Rapp's defense collapsed, leaving Baines the lone defender against three challengers for the third goal. Eastern Mennonite upped it Lady Panthers Have On—Off W eek By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer It’s been one of those weeks for Rappahannock’s Lady Panthers. The varsity girls played superbly against Bull Run District leader Strasburg, losing by a slim 10 points, and then fell apart last night at Clarke County. They battled their way to victory over George Mason in double overtime and then were buried by the Warren Wildcats, a team they had trounced decisively earlier in the season. The four games leave the RCHS girls 3-3 in district play and 4-7 overall. “The girls are still right in there,” said coach Theresa McLawhorn. “We’re tied for third place in the district with Stonewall Jackson, our opponent in Thursday’s home game.” McLawhorn was still disappointed with Tuesday night’s performance. “We should have beaten the Eagles. Then we’d be 4-2 in the district — second place. There’s nothing I can say about the way my girls played. It was an off night, a really off night!” in losing 48-30 to Clarke, the Panthers shot a miserable 20 percent from the floor. “And our defense turned off and on throughout the entire game. Carla Holmes from Clarke, who averages about 30 points a game, we held her to 12. But we gave everybody else on the team two or three shots at the bucket every time and then we’d throw the ball away before we ever got it near the basket.” Kim Settle and Karen Jordan were high scorers for the Panthers. “But they each had only seven points! I never have just one girl with an off night. They’re either ALL on or ALL off. It’s their mental perspective,” the coach said. “But everybody got to play. I was glad about that. Penny Atkins and Wendy ‘Bean’ Stringfellow did a great job. They went in for the fourth quarter. It’s hard to come into a game and give your all when the team’s down by eight baskets. But they hustled, went after the ball and forced a couple of turnovers. I was very to 4-n on an easy save that the goalee hobbled into the net. Two corner kicks headed in for scores added back's slot. In the last five minutes of the half, he swept back and forth in front of the goal, booming the ball into with his bands.

In the second half, coach Davis switched Vinnie Caporuscio to halfback, sending Bobby Ludwick to join Mike DelGrosso, Doug McCabe and Dennis on the front line. The Panthers kept the pressure going offensively but couldn’t manage to get the ball into the goal. At the other end of the field, the Eastern Mennonite offense slipped by Cooper who had advanced from the goal to challenge Jon McCullough darted into the box to break up the knot of blue jerseys fighting for the score but penetration was too deep; the RCHS halfback’s only option to save a sure goal was to grab the ball shooter, Cooper dived for the difficult block but missed. Minutes later, the visitors added another goal to stretch the difference to 8-0. Rappahannock’s score came on the next offensive series as RCHS was awarded a penalty shot. Capruscio’s direct kick cleared the defenders to add the first point on the Panthers’ side of the scoreboard. Eastern Mennonite retaliated to bring the margin back to 9-1 at the final whistle.

Last Thursday, coach Mats had even less to be pleased about as she watched her Panthers overwhelmed by 20 some points by the “AA” Warren Wildcats, a team the Panthers had defeated easily behind Karen Jordan’s 40 points in the season opener. McLawhom is still steaming. “I’ve never had a technical called on me for yelling at an official until that night - and I got two — and they threatened to throw me out of the gym. If it hadn’t been for the problems it would have caused Mr. Toth (RCHS athletic director) and Mr. Chappell (RCHS principal), I would have walked my girls right off that court!” the coach announced. She was particularly dissatisfied with the officiating by Alan Wimer, a former graduate of Warren County High School, McLawhorn continued, maintaining that he never should have been allowed to work a game involving his alma mater . “My starting four fouled out. i hey called 30 touls on Kappahannock compared to 15 on Warren. We shot 75 percent from the line but we only got there 12 times,” she reported. “We didn’t have a prayer. After the game, I ripped up the stat sheets and told the girls to forget about it. It wasn’t a district game. The girls can’t play while they’re being cheated,” the coach maintained. “The Warren players were pulling on their arms EVERY time we took a shot. Now, the Wildcats played well. Maybe they would have beaten us no matter what the officials did. They’ve improved a lot since that first game. But they wouldn’t have beaten us by that kind of margin.” The Warren game may have been a time for frowns but on September 27, however, McLawhorn had a lot to smile about. Her Panthers defeated George Mason in double overtime, 53-49. “It was a 100 percent team effort!” she reported, her characteristic grin back in place. Jordan was high for the Panthers with 19 followed closely by Natalie Butler with 18. In addition, the coach noted, Butler, a sophomore forward, was five of six from the free throw line. Rapp was down eight points with a little over three minutes to go in the regulation contest when Jordan drove to the basket, tossed a shot up and was fouled on the successful attempt. She added a bucket from the line to make it a three point play, convincing her teammates that they could make up the deficit. “With 2:48 to go, we were within five. We put on a press and forced turnover after turnover,” McLawhorn reported. At the buzzer, the tally was 44 all. In the first three minute overtime, Rappahannock managed three points -- two foul shots by Butler and a foul shot from Jordan. But the Mustangs added three themselves and at the second buzzer, it was still tied, 47 all. “In the second overtime, we controlled the ball and kept the press on. Connie Compton swished two foul shots and Annie Tupper connected for a field goal.There were three seconds showing on the clock when the Mustangs fouled Donna Atkins. We were two points up. If she missed, they could tie the game again. If she made it, we had it iced,” the coach said. McLawhorn sent the rest of the squad off the foul line, clear down to the other end of the court where they were directed to stand still. Atkins hit nothing but net on both attempts to put the district game in the win column for Rappahannock. , “It showed the girls never to give up until that final buzzer goes off. It showed them what they can do,” McLawhorn said. The previous game with district leading Strasburg also stretched a smile across the coach’s face, even though the Panthers lost by 10, 61-51. “We just played beautifully. For all four quarters, we were a team — and a good team,” she said. “Strasburg has defeated everybody else in the district by 20 or 30 points. They’re in first place.” Against the Rams, Jordan was high for the Panthers with 21. Butler was runner-up in the scoring department with 13.

May HOPE RACER is a dedicated diner at the RCES cafeteria. Crackers, chili, and chocolate milk make a meal fit for a queen. Rap Kids Better Eaters The county’s students are eating better than ever before, according to school superintendent Robert Estabrook. Rappahannock is also making greater strides towards better eating than other counties in Virginia, Estabrook says. He bases these two notions on a letter of commendation from Mary Hutton, assistant school food service supervisor at the department of education. Hutton reports that two years ago the number of students choosing to participate in school lunch programs in the U.S. declined by 10 percent. During the 19b2-tvl school year, Hutton set the goal of recovering half of those students in Virginia who had stopped buying hot lunches. While the statewide increase for 1982-83 was only one percent, far below Hutton’s goal, Rappahannock County surpassed its goal with an 11 percent increase. The total number of students participating in Rappahannock's hot lunch program last year was 34 percent, three percent better than the Northern Virginia area average. Hutton expressed her "great pleasure at this achievement” and complimented the county's school board, cafeteria staff and ad ministration. “Increased numbers of students who are benefitting nutritionally from the lunch program can only have a positive effect on academic achievement as well,” Hutton said. Hutton says a recent study ("National Evaluation of School Nutrition Programs") showed that students who participate in school lunch programs have a superior nutrient intake over those who carry their lunches. Hutton added that if the study had included students who skip lunch, the differences would have been even greater. Estabrook expressed satisfaction at the figures, saying Rappahannock students are “eating better” and receiving better nutrition by buying hot lunches. School board member Nancy Reeve said she was especially pleased by the increase at the, high school. In the teen years, she says, “the girls are on diets and the boys are all on some kind of health kick." Such food fads don’t usually lead to good nutrition. Elementary school principal Maggie Piper attributes the greater success in the lower grades to the way cafeteria coordinator Judy Burke makes food fun. On “Lucky Plate Day” students and teachers with special stickers on the bottoms of their trays win prizes such as a milk shake. Holiday menus also tempt pupils to participate in the hot lunch program. For example, on Halloween the elementary school cafeteria will be serving Golden Goblin sandwiches (honey and peanut butter), Witches’ brew, Jack O’Lantern salad, Halloween cookies and the usual choice of milk. Cafeteria supervisor Pat Jenkins has been known to dress festively for special days. Last year she came disguised as a witch on Halloween; at Easter she dressed as a bunny. On the last day of each month, students and teachers who had birthdays during that month each receive a free cupcake. During, school lunch week (October 10-14) parents will be invited to each with their children to learn more about lunch hour at the school. Adults may eat at the cafeteria for $1.30. Pupils not on the free or reduced rate plan pay 30c. Milk is 20c. Piper says she thinks it's important for children to have a hot balanced meal in the middle of the day. "We have an excellent cafeteria staff,” she added. “I don’t think better food is served at anv school anvwhere.” Panther By Clarence Pendleton and Ken Estes RCHS Reporters As seniors, we have long, long hours of studying. But after we finish, we take time out for a look around the school. We find that Rappahannock County High School is a lot larger than people think—not size-wise but heart-wise. We see a junior varsity girls’ basketball team that hasn’t won a game yet but is still fighting, still going the distance. We see a soccer team that goes from blue heads to black heads, being different. But once they’re out on the field, they’re together, working hard. It’s not just sports. It’s getting good grades, trying to make RCHS a great school. All of the students here need support from their parents and friends. No one is a loser all the time nor a winner all the time. The spirit has taken over and made our school a better place. So parents, remember: when report cards come out and vour son or daugh Pause ter doesn’t have quite the grades you expected, give them support to keep the spirit going in the right direction. And now for some news. The SCA has decided to enlarge the trophy case to make room for all the trophies that the cross country team and other RCHS teams will be bringing in this year. The teacher of the month is Mrs Mary Ann Biggs. We’ve added a new cat egory—players oi the month. For September, one award goes to lady Panther Karen Jordan for her 40 points against our rivals, the Wildcats froom Warren County. She was “totally awesome” in a game where the final score was 64-49, Rapp. The second player of the month is Scott Keithley for his always excellent running and usually first place finishes in cross country. Now, we don’t actually give out awards that you can put in your room so don’t be disappointed when you don’t get a trophy or a framed letter of recognition. We just wanted to let you know that you’re doing a great job. Mini-Courses Keturn RCES principal Maggie Piper says the popular minicourses that the school offered a few years back “went over very well.” But the program’s organizer Susan Wittl has been teaching in Spotsylvania for the past couple of years. Now that she has returned to her second grade classroom in Rappahannock, she also plans to return the “mini-courses.” The free after school classes for children will be held at RCES October 17November 21.

Vernon Scott of Castleton and Peter Jenkins of Flint Hill wanted school buses to stop at their homes to pick up children. Assistant superintendent Tom Campbell had recommended denial of both requests based on current policy, but the board approved Jenkins’ request, at least temporarily, for safety reasons. Jenkins feared for his five year old who has to walk through the woods to meet the bus. He was concerned about the possibility of the child running into wild animals. The board agreed that while the distance wasn’t great, the danger was sufficient enough for a small child that the bus should pick him up—at least while he is in kindergarten and first grade. searching tor firm guidelines, Campbell pointed out that similar agreements in the past have simply been forgotten as bus routes grew and grew. “The history of these routes,” he said, “has been that it’s not hard to add, but it’s very hard to subtract.” Campbell has been inspecting routes on an individual basis as parents have requested changes. Largely he has stuck by the policy that an elementary school pupil may be allowed to walk up to V- mile to meet a bus and a high school student may walk one mile. Campbell said the school has received 25-50 phone calls so far from parents wanting the buses to come closer to their homes. He refused most of those requests. Scott’s request was rejected by the school board because navigation of his driveway appeared to pose a possible hazard to the rest of the passengers. The pupil in question has been walking .3 mile and is now in an upper grade at the elementary school. School board members and administrators agreed certain criteria should be considered in looking at possible exceptions to policy. They took account of the children’s ages, whether they had older sisters or brothers to walk with them, the condition of the roads and the safety recommendations of the drivers. Randall Updike said he thought special safety considerations should be taken during hunting season. “With young kids you can’t be careful enough, he said. Nancy Reeve thought all bus routes should be reviewed at the end of the year just like high school schedules are. If these reviews are done at the end of the year, parents can plan ahead, Reeve said, and the school board would have plenty of time to review requests for changes. “Maybe we can shorten some routes," she added. School board chairman Beverly Massie suggested that all changes be made by May 1 with special consideration given to kindergarten and first grade pupils. All changes would be publicized and notes about them would be sent home with children. Massie added that when the highway department conducts spring road hearings, it will be a good mem orv jogger that it is time tor school officials to review bus routes. But in the meantime, Massie suggested a moratorium on changing bus routes for this year. Paul Nicholas agreed that an annual update w ould be a good idea with any changes well publicized. He suggested keeping the present policy, but reviewing routes involving kindergarten and first grade pupils on a case by case basis. School superintendent Robert Kstabrook pointed out that such reviews must not appear "arbitrary". The board must use "consistent criteria," he said, such as possible danger, the age of the child and whether he or she is an only child. The board agreed, however, that it would be wary of making any more changes this year. Old Cara During the superintendent’s transportation report, school board members discussed the possibility of receiving bids less frequently on old vehicles. A 19t>t> Ford that school officials plan to sell will be held until the new school buses arrive and the old buses can be advertised at the same time. Hoard members felt more interest could be generated if vehicles were sold at a regular time once or twice a year rather than each time it was necessary to dispose of one.

The Commission pro poses that a telephone company-provided demarcation device or network termination interface serve as the demarcation point between Customer Premises Wiring ("CPW") and telephone company facilities. The demarca tion device would employ the industry's standard mod ular jack and plug, which permits the disconnection of all CPW from the telephone company network by simply removing the plug from the jack. The Commission has proposed these rules as a result of various actions taken by the Federal Communications Commission concerning expensing station connections and detariffing customer premises equipment. Moreover, from time to time various telephone customers have sought to be able to install their own telephone wiring within their premises, and certain telephone companies have filed tariffs with the Commission which would permit customers to install or to have installed their own telephone premises wiring. The text of the proposed rules can be examined during normal business hours at the Commission's Document Control Center, Floor 81. Jefferson Building, Bank and Governor Streets, Richmond, Virginia and during normal business hours at telephone company offices where cus tomer bills may be paid. Interested persons may submit written comments on the proposed rules on or before November 16, 1983, by writing to William C. Young, Clerk, Virginia State Corpora tion Commission, P. O. Box 2118, Richmond. Virginia 23216, making reference to Case No. PUC830039. Any request to be heard orally must likewise be submitted.

Also testifying was Sherrie Landsdown of Fletcher's Mill who said approximately $700 worth of property was taken in a July 9 break-in at her residence. Most of the items had been returned to Landsdown.

The public is generally critical of the number of cases settled by plea bargains, particularly by nolle prosequi (where the commonwealth declines to prosecute, usually because of a defect in evidence, hut reserves the right to reinstate charges at a later date). Under what type of conditions would you, as common wealths attorney, consider a plea bargain? What type of educational programs for law enforcement personnel would you institute with the aim of reducing defects in evidence and the need to nol pros cases? “First of all, as a prosecutor, I worked in a system in the Air Force where we were not allowed to plea bargain at all. It’s not permitted under Air Force regulations. “Plea bargaining should only be used when it will benefit the commonwealth. I mean by that where you have a potentially defective case—witnesses who disappear or who change their testimony—which could jeopardize chances of obtaining a conviction. In those cases, plea bargaining is justified.” “When I was in the Air Force, I was involved in several types of programs where I met with the security police on a regular basis for seminars in which we went over recent court decisions, changes in law and local procedures. I believe the same type of programs could be instituted in Rappahannock County though, of course, the feelings of the sheriff would play a large role in what could be worked out. However, from my discussions with the candidates for sheriff, I am sure that all of them are receptive to the idea of having this type of educational program. “The progams have an added advantage. They give the commonwealth’s attorney and police officers a chance to work out some of the details of their day-today interactions concerning arrests, the handling of evidence and procedures to be followed in bringing a case to trial. ” 7. Do you feel that county ordinances should be codified and warrants written under county—rather than state—laws? What purpose would this serve? •“When I ran four years ghat was one of my [ still think it’s a good codify our county ores. I think it’s rather ig that no one can tell tactly what are the ordinances because no one has ever tried to assemble them. At present, they’re scattered throughout the minute books of board of supervisor meetings over the last several decades. “Codifying those ordinances does have its pros and cons. Rappahannock would get a larger share of the money paid in fines when violations are written under the county ordinances. “However, there’s also a cost involved. For instance, before speeding offenses could be written under a county code, the sheriffs department would have to have radar. “I think it’s something that should be looked into. Obviously, input from the sheriffs department would be required. What would be the cost to the county of enforcement if the primary responsibility was shifted to county personnel?” Small Potatoes By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer “If it don’t rain, it don’t get watered,” Aunt Gladys told me about her garden Sunday after a supper of mashed potatoes, homegrown beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, biscuits and chicken. A matter-of-fact mountain woman, Aunt Gladys doesn’t worry about things she can’t change. If the vegetables are stressed and stunted because of the drought, she cooks them the same and cooks twice as many. When the potatoes are mashed, hot and hearty, it doesn t matter if they were small. But she got suspicious when I asked for her recipe. “I don’t use a recipe,” Aunt Gladys told me, “I just cook ’em.” We talked small potatoes well into the evening but somehow she got the best of me. I told her my secrets, but she wasn’t sharing many of hers. Now I might as well share mine with everybody. So, here goes.

Lettuce Soup 2 cups mashed potatoes 2 cups milk 1 chopped onion 1 package frozen peas Vz head ripped lettuce chopped celery, parsley flakes, salt & pepper to season to taste. Blend milk and potatoes in a saucepan to make a soup. Add onion, peas and seasoning and heat just to boiling, being careful not to scald it. Add lettuce just before serving. Cook only until lettuce is wilted and warm. (Never cut lettuce with a knife; it must always be torn apart. I forgot why.) Irish Potato Pancakes 1 cup flour 2 T. cooking oil 11. baking powder 11. salt 2 eggs lA cup milk Beat together the egg, milk and cooking oil. Then stir in the rest of the ingredients, leaving the mixture slightly lumpy. Cook on griddle or in cast iron frying pan just like regular pancakes. Each day you may add another egg to the leftover mix. It becomes less and less Irish and more and more like a French crepe. (That’s part of my great American melting pot theory of cooking.)
