"We want to encourage the voters to think in terms of Judges Ask For Minor Improvements By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock News Staff Writer Cordiality, common sense and modest proposals from the judges marked their meeting Tuesday night with the Rappahannock supervisors to discuss problems with the courthouse. Present at the meeting were judges Burke Hertz, Thomas Horne, John Alexander, Shore Robertson and Carlton Penn. Supervisors Charles Estes, Dick Latham, Hubert Gilkey and H. B. Wood joined them in what Latham characterized as a round-table discussion. “We’re not unaware of the tremendous / burden you’re bearing in ‘the jail renovation,” Penn began. “We also realize that there are only so many people in Rappahannock to tax. In a place like Fairfax, you can get in more people’s pockets, but not here. So this is not the notion of a judge who wants to spend a lot of your money.” Penn added that, while he didn’t come to Rappahannock often, he had tried the Gregory case in the courtroom and the added public interest placed a burden on Rappahannock court facilities. “Like carpenters’ tools and proper equipment in a dairy barn, adequate facilities are what we need to do our work,” said Penn, and turned to Robertson, who holds court three times a month in the courthouse as Rappahannock’s circuit court judge. Robertson said that, since his days are constant and set in advance, he hasn’t had problems with scheduling. “I share Judge Penn’s conservative philosophy regarding public funds,” he said. “What we need can be done at very little expense.” Robertson mentioned the placement of the witness chair where the judge can see the witness clearly. “Its placement now is not only too close to the judge, but it’s at, an angle where the judge can’t clearly observe his face,” he said. More severe, said Robertson, is the lack of privacy in the jury room. “If we send the jury in during arguments, they can hear everything in the courtroom," he maintained. “Likewise, we can hear their deliberations, which is not good either. On the other hand, when the air conditioner is on, no one can hear anything. When the air conditioner is off, it’s stifling in the summer. I wasn’t surprised to hear that the re(Continued on Page 4) Injunction Obtained On Firing Range After their meeting with the judges Tuesday night, the Rappahannock supervisors stayed for a meeting with the planning commission and immediately went into executive session to discuss pending litigation. Returning to open session, the board voted unanimously to ask commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner to seek an injunction against the further construction of an alleged shooting range on the Turner Settle property in Amissville, recently leased to the Rappahannock Sportsmen’s Association. Commonwealth’s attorney Baumgardner said that the injunction was the recommendation of the planning commission and was issued pursuant to the stip ulat ion of the Rappahannock zoning ordinance that specifies that firing ranges are allowed by special use permit, providing they meet standards. On Wednesday morning in Warrenton, Judge Shore Robertson issued a temporary injunction against the Rappahannock Sportsmans Association restraining the association, their agents, employees and all other persons from using the Settle property as a firing range or for any other purpose that violates the zoning ordinance. The injunction obtained by Baumgardner is effective until November 14 at which time a hearing will be held on the extension of the injunction. issues." Setting down the rules for Wednesday’s program, Bird said that each candidate would he limited to five minutes for an introductory speech "so everyone may have an opportunity to talk.” He added that questions would be accepted from the audience—a full house of around 80 people— after the individual presentations. Clerk Diane Bruce, commissioner of the revenue Merle Scoggin and treasurer Frances Foster, constitutional officers all running unopposed, stopped to the speaker's rostrum to explain their jobs. Three of the four candidates for sheriff-— Mark Wittl, John Henry Woodward and Martin Orfila -asked for voters’ support.

To protect the land, the county needs “a fair comprehensive plan to control growth, a zoning ordinance to preserve and protect its agricultural and conservation districts and safe places to dump non-burnable trash,” Wood said. But Rappahannock’s “most sacred treasure is its children,” the former school teacher maintained. Those children are directly affected by the greatest share of the county’s budget, the appropriation for education which makes up between 70 and 80 percent of local expenditures, Wood said. Last year, “our children had about $100,000 cut (by the supervisors) from their education," she noted. “In 1083, our public schools are operating with $30,000 LESS than in the previous year.” Wood maintained that both schools need additional space, particularly the high school. “Teachers are teaching on stages, in closets and from push carts,” she said, adding that she fully endorsed the school improvement program development by the Rappahannock- Citizens for Quality Education. .1. K. Latham ‘‘1 realize the need for improvements at the high school,” said supervisor chairman J. R. Latham who is running for re-election from Jackson District after 12 years on the hoard. “I’d like to see that done with no further delay.” The incumbent also listed as his priorities com(Continued on Rage 1) Rumors On Cocaine Ring Unfounded By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer There is no factual basis for widespread rumors of a major cocaine ring involving prominent Front Royal businessmen, according to local law enforcement representatives. The story of the narcotics network connected to the recent shooting of a Front Royal policeman “is nothing but an incredible and ridiculous rumor,” stated William Sharp, Warren County’s assistant commonwealth’s attorney, on Tuesday. “We are not empaneling a grand jury to look into the charges. This office is not involved in any investigation of a cocain ring,” Sharp said. “There is no cocaine ring involved in any way with the killing of officer Smedley.” Special agent Warren Shand. the officer in charge of narcotic investigations for the State Police in this area, likewise stated that the cocaine ring rumors are just idle speculation. “We’ve always got rumors building on rumors,” Shand said. “We have no case open on any cocaine ring in Front Koval. We have no ongoing investigation involving any of the individuals (rumored to he involved in the narcotics ring).” Shand acknowledged that the State Police has been involved at different times in drug investigations in Rappahannock, Front Royal and other counties, most recently with manufacture of marijuana. "Rut not ever with anything you would call a cocaine ring.” The special agent said his unit—-narcotics—did not work closely with the police officer killed in Front Royal and wen* not involved wnii Smedley on any investigation. It the Front Royal policeman had been working on an investigation of a cocaine ring, the State J'olice would probably have known of the effort, Shand added. Warren County’s assistant commonwealth’s attorney guessed that the rumors might have been started by word of a federal drug investigation that was conducted over a four year period and involved a former businessman who no longer lives in the area and whose business is now closed. Who Picks ’Em? On Marketing And Migrants In The Mountains By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock News Staff Writer This year Rappahannock orchardists will have to pick twice as many apples to make the same amount of money as last year. That’s the word from extension agent Birgitt Thornhill who says the drought related sizing problem means it takes twice as many apples to fill a bushel as in other years. Thus, although she says the price per bushel has stayed the same, the orchardist actually suffers a 50 percent reduction in income. Thornhill reports apples sizing up at approximately 2-2(4 inches. Another problem Thornhill points out is fewer bigger apples for the roadside bins. The crop is sorted by size with only the large ones going to the stands, the rest go to the canners. The Virginia Farm Bureau points out additional financial pitfalls awaiting apple growers. Last year, when grocery stores received $20-$25 per bushel, the orehardists were only getting $3-$7. The range depended on quality, current inventories, competing fruits and supply. The supply last year was greater than in 1981 when a late frost destroyed much of the crop, and of far better quality than this year when the drought prevented much of it from maturing. Disadvantaged Growers The VFBF Marketing Association was formed several years ago to help farmers bargain with apple processors. Winchester's Henry Brumback, who serves on that board, told the Farm Bureau News last spring that between <>0-70 percent of the typical apple crop in this area goes for processing, but that “apple farmers are often at a disadvantage in price negotiations because the supply is plentiful and the processors are few.” Brumback thinks Virginia apple growers must more assertively market their products, following the lead of Michigan and Washington producers. Washington growers actively promote their apples, even advertising their allegedly finer qualities in Virginia. And some Virginia consumers insist on Washington state apples when they go shopping, but Brumback says Virginia has a greater variety and tastier apples. Virginians shouldn’t be so modest, he suggets. In Michigan, he says, the processors are required by state law to bargain. In the state where labor unions were born, 'orchardists are organized to the point that apple prices can become a matter for binding arbitration. Brumback says he wishes the VFBF could get such cooperation from the Virginia General Assembly. Processors Set Prices Here, the processors pretty much set their own prices. Laughing in the face of adversity, one farmhand kids, “They offered a higher price this year — for apples 2:‘/i inches and up. When.it’s dry they have to be 2:'A inches. When it’s not dry, 2Vi inches will get you a good price.

Konick Accents Trial Experience Luke Makes Two Campaign Promises "The most important issue is which candidate is truly willing to devote the time and effort necessary to he an effective commonwealth’s attorney," said can didate David L. Konick. “I’ve structured my personal and business affairs so I can devote myself to the job without any conflict of interest." Hitting his qualifications, Konick said “I have more jury trial experience, more litigation experience, more Virginia supreme court experience and more federal court experience than my opponent.” The candidate said he has “enforced the law vigorously but fairly and efficiently as a special prosecutor and as the zoning administrator for the past two years... I know I haven’t made everyone happy as zoning administrator but that job is to enforce the laws as they are written and not to win a popularity contest.” According to Konick, the past few years have seen a nationwide increase in plea bargaining that has brought an accompanying increase in criminal activity and a decline in both morale of law enforcement personnel and public confidence in the criminal justice system. In many instances, the increase in plea bargaining is the result of overburdened court systems, he said. “We have the personnel and the time in Rappahannock County to take more criminal cases to trial," Knniek said, pledging to “put an ond to iiimm'ssarv plea bargaining." it' elected, Konick promised to have "more jury trials to give the people of this community direct input in the criminal justice system." "You know my reputation for putting everything I’ve got into my cases,” Konick told the audience. “I’m looking forward to putting my time and energy into the job of commonwealth’s attorney.” I’etcr II. Luke “It’s very easy to make promises," commonwealth's attorney Peter Luke told the audience at last Wednesday’s (drum. Candidates "know w hat people want to hear and they're tempted to say it to get the votes...I've tried to avoid that, to avoid running up political debts that will be called in later.” Luke offered two campaign promises', "to do the job to the best of my ability and to treat all people fairly and equally under the law." Luke addressed two issues w hich he said keep rising in the campaign for commonwealth’s attorney. He noted that he was a prosecutor for four years in the Air force where, by regulat ion. plea bargaining is not allowed. "So I’ve operated in that system and in systems that have plea bargaining. ..There is another reason for plea bargaining besides a heavy court (Continued on Page'!) SherifPs Candidates Address Shifts, Road Bloeks, 16 Hour Davs “At issue in this campaign is a law enforcement system that is equal, fair and just; where no one is above the law and no one is below it,” stated Martin Or f’ila, candidate for sheriff. At last week’s forum, Orfila reviewed his connections with law enforcement that began as a deputy under sheriffs .John Walker Jenkins and W. A. Huntiri and continued through five years with the state police. “The issue here is leadership, management and organization. Rappahannock County is in a new era of law enforcement (with completion of the jail and dispatch center)... We need management and leadership...The deputies need to know their limitations ANT) their abilities. The men need goals and objectives set on a daily basis,” Orfila maintained. “We do have drunk driving and narcotics problems in Rappahannock County... We’re 274 square miles of isolation but at the same time, we’re very close to the metro area,” Orfila said, explaining the incidence of drugs here. “We need to develop a deputy sheriff, an investigator for the narcotics problem, who can go into the community and deal with it,” the former State Troojier maintained. “This is a beautiful county but we do have problems...! would dedicate ALL MY TIMK to solving those problems. I’ve given eight years to law enforcement. It’s my life, my whole line of thinking and being,” Orfila said in an impassioned plea for support from the voters. “It would be a dream come true to serve you with pride and determination." Mark Wittl “You all are going to be the real winners in November by being here tonight,” Mark Wittl told the audience at last Wednesday’s forum, congratulating them for taking the opportunity to judge local and state candidates for themselves. As sheriff, the county needs “an educated, sensitive professional who will serve all without prejudice or bias,” the former deputy said. “We need a sheriff who believes that the rights of the ordinary citizen are equal to the rights of the wealthy landowner... A sheriff who is physically fit and can personally respond to the scene of a crime...a sheriff who has no outside obligations.” Wittl promised to bring “confidentiality” to the sheriffs department. He also said he would increase night road patrols and decrease the use of “ineffectual” police road blocks that harass law abiding motorists. “I will protect and serve you,” (Continued on Page 2)

At an evening meeting at the Culpeper Baptist Church, Pat Helmer received the Association Award, the highest award at the Association level. Mrs. Helmer is currently serving as the Senior Troop advisor and as Service Unit Chairman for all Rappahannock troops. In the past she has led Brownie, Junior and Ca Honored flette troops, has served as troop consultant and troop organizer. She also does outdoor training for new leaders and has served on the Virginia Skyline Girl Scout Council’s Program Committee and the Association’s nominating committee. Ruth Williams was also honored Tuesday evening with the Certificate of Appreciation - Gold. Mrs. Williams is currently leading a Junior troop and a Cadette troop. She has worked with Brownies in the past. Candidates For Sheriff (Continued from Page 1) he told the audience. “That’s the prime requirement of this office.” John Henry Woodward “The sheriffs department is one of the fastest growing departments in Rappahannock County with the addition of the jail and the dispatch center. As deputy, I’ve worked closely with plans for both,” Woodward said. A native of Rappahannock, Woodward noted that he has worked in the county for the past 15-20 years, including three years as a deputy, a position he now holds. “I want to serve the people of Rappahannock County as best as I can...The sheriffs department has improved in the last eight years under the reign of W. A. Buntin. I want to see it continue to improve and to serve the people of the county.” Woodward said he would keep the door of his office open at all times. “The purpose of the sheriffs department is not to arrest everybody who disobeys the law. Many times, a good talking to will do more good than an arrest. We need a sheriff who can tell the difference and the common sense to listen to everyone’s story,” Woodward maintained. “We’re going to be dealing with a whole new field with a dispatch center and a full-time jail. It must be handled with a thorough thinking out beforehand of problems we will face...I plan on operating the department to everyone’s benefit as economically and efficiently as possible,” Woodward promised. Questions “This past Sunday, I saw two sheriffs department patrol cars parked side by side, facing opposite directions, at about 4 p.m. at the Sperryville Emporium,” announced a man in the audience. “Do you endorse that concentration of manpower? With such a limited force, shouldn’t the police cars be spread out?” he asked, noting that just a few hundred yards away, at the same time the cruisers were parked, two motorcycles had passed two automobiles and a truck carrying a mobile home for about a half mile over double solid lines. Woodward acknowledged that he was the driver of one cruiser. “I was just coming off duty and I was passing a teletype on a particular subject we had to pick up,” the deputy explained. “We’re not fortunate enough to be able to have two sheriffs patrol cars on duty at the same time,” Woodward added, grinning. “If we did, I’d agree they should be in separate parts of the county.” Wittl was asked where he now resides. “I’m glad someone asked me that,” he replied, explaining that he was a resident of the county and a deputy with the sheriffs department until his resignation in October 1982. “I married my high school sweetheart, an Air Force captain, and I live with her in South Carolina where I have been continuing my education. I’m living in Sumter but I’m a legal resident of Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Race (Continued from Page 1 ) docket—weak cases with defective evidence.” In 99 cases of plea bargaining out of 100, the defendant enters a guilty plea, Luke noted. “We shouldn’t forget that. It’s better to walk away with that guilty plea than with an acquital because of a defect in evidence. Plea bargaining can be used as a tool to benefit the Commonwealth in those appropriate cases where we have defective evidence.” Addressing nolle prosqui bargains (where the Commonwealth declines to prosecute charges with the stipulation that it can do so at a later date), Luke pointed out that anyone can swear out a warrant. “The magistrate doesn't check for the truth. That comes later." When that “later” arrives, the prosecutor sometimes discovers that the charges are based on “outright lies” or that the case belongs in a civil instead of a criminal court, Luke said.

The Plains is 40 minutes from downtown Washington. "These cases should be weeded out...They are appropriate for nol pros." The second recurring issue in the commonwealth’s attorney campaign is zoning, according to Luke. “I am not running for an office that has any vote in zoning issues." If asked a legal question pertaining to zoning by the board of supervisors, planning commission or board of zoning appeals, "I’ll answer it but neither Mr. Konick nor myself will have a vote in determining what goes into the zoning ordinance,” he repeated. Questions Sharon Kilpatrick asked the commonwealth’s attorney candidates if they would request an attorney general’s opinion as to whether the county school board is legally using Freedom of Information Act (FOI) exemptions to discuss roof repairs at the public schools. If the answer is no, Kilpatrick continued, would either candidate bring charges for FOI violation? Exemptions to the Freedom of Information Act are to be narrowly construed and the intent broadly construed under the wording of the legislation itself, according to Konick. If a county board violates FOI and if that violation is reported, then it’s up to the commonwealth’s attorney to advise the board to comply, Konick said. If that compliance isn’t forthcoming, “then it’s the commonwealth's attorney’s duty to prosecute,” he added. "Bob Horan (commonwealth’s attorney in Fairfax) did just that.” Luke reported that the issue raised by Kilpatrick is addressed in the Virginia Public Procurement law. “This is a new law and it’s not generally understood,” he said, adding that he’d worked with the new law as attorney for the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Board. “I think there’s a special provision in there that applies directly to the question you raised here tonight.” As to seeking an attorney general’s opinion on the exemption for private sessions utilized regularly by the school board, Luke said he would decline to request such an opinion and rely instead on his own reading of the Freedom of Information Act. “I would hope that any governing body that consulted me would have enough confidence to trust my legal opinion.

She maintained that it is the school board’s intention to talk about what anything costs in executive session— “even the high school.” She added that the board has its own attorney who is apparently saying the tactic is legal. “Who is our attorney then?” “If they violate the Freedom of Information Act, I would advise them of my intention to prosecute,” Luke replied. Jenkins Retires Rural mail carrier Elmer T. Jenkins retired September 30, according to an announcement from Amissville postmaster C. S. Mundy. Combined military and postal service gives Jenkins nearly 35 years of government service. “Mr. Jenkins has made a major contribution to efficient mail delivery in the Amissville area,” said Mundy. “He is a dedicated, conscientious employee. He will be missed greatly by the entire community.” Although Jenkins retired from the Postal Service, he will still be working full time as owner of Jenkins’ Garage in Amissville, according to Mundy. Rappahannock County,” Wittl noted. “When I decided to run for sheriff last January, my wife immediately put in a resignation of her commission. We thought it would take six months for her to be released and we planned to move here in June or July so I could campaign full time. But the Air Force has a nursing shortage. They kept her until November 15— that’s her discharge date,” the candidate said. Wittl added that he and his wife have two small children. “Someone had to take care of them full time so I wasn’t able to return to Rappahannock and campaign as I had planned...But if I’m elected, I will be a full time sheriff and I’ll serve you full time,” he pledged. Judy Hitt asked the candidates to explain how’ they proposed to staff a midnight patrol shift. “A midnight shift is something we should try to institute,” said Orfila. “But it will take a sheriff who is willing to work 15, 16 hours per day, especially on Friday and Saturday nights. That’s the bottom line.” Hitt noted that Orfila had said previously he would use dispatchers for road duty if the jail wasn’t full. Orfila confirmed that he proposed eventually to use combination corrections officers/dispatchers as fill-in road deputies to offset the manpower shortage in the department. “Then who answers the calls at the jail if an emergency comes in?” asked Hitt. “I can’t answer that yet because we don’t have the jail and the dispatch center organized now. Our staffing structure is not set up yet,” Orfila replied. “With the manpower we have now, it will be very difficult to schedule three eight-hour shifts,” said Woodward, pointing out that staffing is controlled by the State Compensation Board which pays law enforcement salaries. “I’m not going to stand here and tell you I’m going to work 15, 16 hours a day. I have a family. I'm going to give the job the hours it takes to get the work done but I’m also going to spend time at home and the deputies deserve time off just like everyone else.” “I don’t see any opportunity for the dispatcher/jailer to do any road time,” Woodward continued. “They’re going to be full-time at the jail. Even now, we always have somebody, even with the judges knowing we don’t have any place to put them.” Wittl said he, too, plans to work an eight-hour day if elected. “But I would respond to emergencies at night whenever a call comes in.” He maintained, however, that shifts can be arranged with the present staff of three full time and twTo part time deputies to cover night hours. The part time staff could fill in on weekends so full time deputies could take their time off then. “No morale problems,” Woodward maintained. “And I don’t see why one deputy couldn’t be an investigator. That wrould improve our clearance rate.” Orfila was asked if he favored a public firing range at the Blue Ridge Gun Shop in Amissville. Plans call for the range to be a private, NRA sanctioned range that would be open to law enforcement personnel and to the public under special arrangements, according to Orfila.

School Board Discusses Sex in Secret xii announcing mat tne school board would meet at 6:45 Tuesday in advance of their regular 7:30 session, school superintendent Robert Estabrook quipped that they couldn’t go into executive session to see a movie. However, they apparently discussed the movie in executive session Because the film was approved to be shown in the schools without one word of debate in open session. The film called “Running My Way” is the story of a 14year-old girl named Lisa who is being pressured by peers to have sex with her boy friend. It is offered through the district health department for viewing by all interested groups. Family planning spokesman Mary Wilkins says she has been promoting the movie as part of public awareness campaigns during family life and sex education week (which was October 5-11). Wilkins told the school - board that ten local teenagers attend the family planning clinic—they are in eighth grade and up. She added there are “a lot more that should.” The clinic offers confidential birth control information and perscriptions on a sliding fee scale to men and women of all ages and also has speakers available for civic groups and schools. (The clinic shows another film to first time attenders called “Hope Is Not A Method.”) Wilkins told the school board that students in the 10th grade would benefit from seeing “Running My Way” followed by discussion of the issues afterwards. At that grade level, she says, it helps boys and girls to hear each other’s attitudes. The boys react to seductive dress in a manner girls don’t understand, Wilkins says; and the girls are afraid their boy friends will stop dating them if they don’t give in to their sexual demands. Discussions would also include financial hardships facing unwed mothers. In the seventh grade children are more modest, Wilkins added. They need to be segregated by sex to see the film and receive sex education. The motion to approve the film for grades 8-12 came at about 10:45 p.m. following a 114 hour executive session to discuss personnel and “the protection of the privacy of individuals in personal matters not related to public business.” The board also discussed appointment of substitute teachers and whether students should be allowed to stay out of school for religious beliefs. This was the second executive session of the evening’s three hour meeting, leaving only 50 percent of the board’s business conducted in public. The board had closed the meeting earlier in the evening to hear from seven teachers who wanted to speak “on consideration of an appointment”, according to Estabrook. That session lasted approximately 20 minutes. I EQUAL HOUSING | OPPORTUNITY <^a,cEstate Eileen M. Day realtor CONCERNING PRESCRIPTION To most people the word “prescription” refers to a doctor’s writing on a piece of paper that they take to a pharmacy. It has an entirely different meaning in real estate. Home and landowners should be aware of this meaning because it could have a direct bearing on their property rights. Suppose Mr. Smith owns a fairly large tract of land, either in a suburban area or out in the country. There’s a drivein theatre nearby. A main road leads to the theatre, but many patrons soon discover a shorter way to get there by cutting across Mr. Smith’s property. Mr. Smith sees this, is mildly irked, but doesn’t do anything about it. He figures that eventually they’ll stop doing it. But they don’t stop it — it goes on for years and Smith still doesn’t take any nctipn. Eventually the public will acquire the RIGHT to cut across Smith’s property! In real estate parlance, getting the right in land by this means is called prescription. So if you own property and some one’s violating it some way, don’t just stand and watch.

Two Dozen Models Prepare Ritzy Fashion Show “Putting On the Ritz”, the vintage fashion show to benefit the 4-H summer day camp, is nearly ready to hit the stage on October 22 at 7 at the RCES. Twenty-four models will show off some 100 fashions spanning the period from 1850 to 1960. Coordinator Pali Delevitt, who calls the event “a dazzling parade of fashion history”, says the show and sale come just in time for Halloween and that people will be able to purchase items ranging from fine antique pieces from the 1800s to “fun and funky costumes.” “I haven’t met a woman yet who didn’t love to get dressed up in something that made her feel glamourous or special,” she said, referring to the fun the models have experienced. Delevitt says those who buy the vintage fashions will be able to fancy themselves as Garbos, Gable, or Bogart stepping from the silver screen. She added that many of the older styles are returning into vogue and that classic clothing from any period adds a flashy touch to anyone’s wardrobe. Tickets are available at Nature's Foods, the Middle Street Gallery, and the Washington House of Reproductions. They will also be available at the door on show night. A $5 donation is requested. The audience has also been invited to dress up in period costume—to be putting on the Ritz. More People Are Using Rappahannock’s Library Can it be that television viewing is on the decline in Rappahannock County? Maybe that’s not a valid conclusion to be drawn from circulation reports from the Rappahannock County Library but people here do appear to be reading more and possibly the extra time for books comes from giving less time to television. This past year, circulation at the library was up by eight percent. The number of adult books checked out by patrons increased by 1,135 to a total of 10,022. Youngsters checked out 64 more juvenile books to bring that figure to 4,852. The library’s circulation of non-book items jumped by 40 percent, going from 748 to 1,257. The circulation figures here do not reflect a statewise pattern. According to Dale Snair from the state’s library development office, total circulation .among libraries throughout Virginia has shown a slight downward trend. Librarian Pat Helmer reports that she’s noticed a lot of high school youngsters getting library cards for the first time. “We borrowed 181 books from the inter-library loan program, most of them for kids who were doing research papers,” she said. That represents an increase of 61 percent over inter-library loans in the previous 12-month period from July, 1981, to July, 1982. The librarian answered 36 more reference questions in the past fiscal year while registered patrons increased by 118 people to a total of I, 210, about one-fifth of the county’s population. Over II, 800 people visited the library in fiscal year 1982, an fhcrease of 2,106. Tea For Teachers The library broadened its range of special activities as well. This summer, for Building? • Paint • Lumber ^ • Millwork m • Hardware' Complete One-Step BUILDING SUPPLY Warrantor! Building Material Co., Inc. on the By-Pats, Warrenton 347-1400 the first time, new teachers in the county’s public schools were special guests at a tea. “We wanted to acquaint them with the resource help we can provide,” explained Helmer. “In past years, the elementary school teachers, in particularly, haven’t used our county library ’ very much and we’d like that to change.” This year’s summer reading program was again successful, according to Helmer. “We had 64 children enrolled for reading games, story hour and movies. That’s an increase of 19 children over the previous year. ” The 1983 summer reading program was capped by another first, a puppet show by Pizzaz Puppets of Roanoke sponsored by the Friends of the Library. This year, the Friends also donated lamps to the library and, as usual, contributed a large portion of the library’s operating budget. “We couldn’t keep our doors open without their support,” Helmer said, noting that the Friends will be sending out letters this month to residents of Rappahannock seeking contributions to the annual fund drive. Still A Need Several people stepped forward in response to the library’s earlier plea for volunteers but more are needed, according to Helmer. “We really need folks for the grounds com mittee, the maintenance committee and the program committee,” Helmer noted. Without those volunteers and the other workers who already give their time and energy, the library won’t be able to continue what is perhaps the most important trend of all. “There’s a trend in libraries throughout the state and the nation toward automation. We’re reversing that here in Rappahannock,” said Helmer. “Here the trend is toward a more personal approach. Here your library needs are met by people, not by machines.” Last Chance F Tickets for the Community Concert Association’s upcoming series are again available for new' residents and for those who weren’t contacted during the spring membership drive.

Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company Inc Member Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1983 Newspaper Week During National Newspaper Week, it would be well to dwell on the duties of those engaged in our profession. We at the Rappahannock News and journalists at approximately 11,000 other newspapers in the nation are bound to serve you, the citizen. It is more than our job—it is our duty to inform you objectively about newsworthy events especially those in Rappahannock County, to comment on those events in order to give you a better understanding of the meanings behind the news and the trends that will affect you, to show you the special services and goods available from our area advertisers, to help you decide which civic projects are worthy of your time and attention and which undesirable conditions merit your efforts towards change, to entertain and educate you with our special features and accounts of country living, and always to champion your rights. Our right to report and our right to criticize are reflections of your right to know about the doings of those entrusted with your government and law enforcement. That is why we fight against illegal executive sessions, the refusal of public officials to release public records and reports, the closure of court records and proceedings and evasiveness from our elected or appointed leaders of government. That is why we question the candidates at great length to insure that you have adequate information with which to make an intelligent choice when you enter the voting booth on November 8. Democracy depends on an informed electorate. The newspaper is a product of the efforts of a group of professionals, in printing, in advertising, in writing, and in the other separate skills that they devote in their dedication to getting that information to you. Without newspapers, democracy wouldn’t work. Thomas Jefferson said well in 1787 what we at the Rappahannock News continue to believe and what we take seriously as we strive to be worthy of your trust: “The basis of our government being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.” But then he added something that speaks to your responsibility during National Newspaper Week: “I should mean that every man should receive those papers, and be capable of reading them.” Celebrate National Newspaper Week by promising to really read the paper, to make a concerted effort to understand civic current events—and to support the efforts of our local school system to equip the next generation to be “capable of reading them.” Newspaper Week is about a lot more than newspapers. It is about the very system of democracy. Judges Ask For Minor Improvements (Continued from Page 1) porter in court couldn’t hear anything of the proceedings.” Robertson added that he would like to see some modest decorative work in the courtroom. “The lighting is not the best, it’s not impressive,” he said. “And I think that that’s still a 48-star flag you have over there.” Robertson admonished the board to think of the long-range solution to problems while they correct short-range difficulties. He suggested an alternate hearing room for conflicts in scheduling. Horne selected Robertson’s main point for emphasis. “A judge has to hear,” he said. “I’m not that concerned with security or appearance. But a courtroom should be a room where you can literally hear a pin drop. I think there are some easy, inexpensive solutions. I’ve thought about carpeting, about different air-conditioning arrangements. I think this can be corrected easily.” As the General District Court Judge, Alexander explained that he comes to Rappahannock at least once a week. “There are two things,” he said. “In the summertime we can’t hear a thing. We need to do something about acoustics and air conditioning.” “We need a witness room,” Alexander went on. “There’s no place to send them except in the hall. If you put them in the jury room they hear everything. And, of course, the purpose of sending witnesses out is so they won’t hear. So they go downstairs and get to coffeeklatching in the hall, making more noise. They need another room. There should be a simple solution to the noise problem, carpeting and a cooling unit mounted outside. ” Hertz said that he had special problems as a juvenile and domestic court judge. “I want to echo the thoughts of judges Robertson, Penn, Home and Alexander,” he said. “This is a big problem on a hot day. We need air conditioning and we need to hear.” Hertz continued: “We have a unique situation in juvenile and domestic court. The law requires that the audience be limited to those involved. Other people are j there and need to be ex- ; eluded. The sheriff runs i them downstairs. There’s really no place for them to go but outside. When it’s rainy or cold, it’s uncomfortable for them.” Hertz added that, when cases carry over, there were conflicts with Judge Alexander’s court, forcing him to hold court in the clerk’s office. “This is not really adequate,” he said. Hertz agreed with Robertson that the county needs to evolve an overall plan. “No one thinks we can do this overnight,” he said. Penn added that the general public also is noisy, not just the witnesses. And he related a case of a female juror: “She had on a brief skirt,” he said. “When the jury came back after a break she had on slacks. A jury enclosure would allow the female jurors to sit in comfort and modesty.” Others present added their comments to those of the judges: James Fletcher said that he found it impossible to hear when the air conditioning is on. “I sometimes wonder if there’s a ease for reversal,” he said. Sheriff W. A. Buntin said that he agreed that the air conditioning system caused a bad situation. He also pointed out that a different arrangement of the tables might prevent witnesses from leaning on the bench. Commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner said that he has supplied his own office, but if his successor chooses not to do this, the courthouse offices will be even more crowded. He added that two tables would be better than the one that the defense and the prosecution now share. Ruth Blackwell concurred with the opinion of he judges that there is a >roblem with the people vho are dismissed from the :ourtroom. She said that she ries to provide chairs to hose standing in the halls >ut this interferes with her vork. She also said that joing up and down stairs is in imposition on elderly peo>le, the handicapped and jregnant women. Supervisors Charles Estes asked for one judge or i member of the judges’ jtaff to work with them. All )f the judges volunteered ;heir help in answering questions. Robertson closed the meeting by thanking the supervisors and the members of the community present in the audience. When questions from the audience were sought, Robert Leibold of Amissville told the joint assembly that they might as well construct a new courthouse altogether. “Speaking as an acoustician, I know that you’ll never make the courtroom or the jury room, soundproof,” Leibold said. Robert Eastham of Flint Hill told the judges that he was impressed by their concentration on a commonsense, practical approach to the problem. “It appears that there is no need for bricks or mortar here,” he said. “Never tolerate injustice or corruption, always fight demagogues of all parties, never belong to any party, always oppose privileged classes and public plunderers, never lack sympathy with the poor, always remain devoted to the public welfare, never be satisfied with merely printing news, always be drastically independent, never be afraid to attack wrong, whether by predatory plutocracy or predatory poverty.” —Joseph Pultizer, 1907 Our Rappahannock Heritage_ Rappabat^^ke b Tbe tnv'tes from Vetters readSeet « editor open '"'',uleline5 , certa\n __ Vnv\ta«on's hoVl-ev^ be M\ ^Sg^te^; \v .T^ b^eu- trotn xvVna^-V>t' ^L.tba'-1"6' -se^o•f";:”’S"ir »*f ^“jrw o* •A \)^eV u\eve‘ vv \W n°V ^ea'-10 w nvra tor \'u’ \,e^erb 5^ «« >,\ be ,bo^ vet pos^ U * t\becau; Please Come To the editor: In the next two months, we will present the current Academy Award winning best picture, best actor, and best actress.

But we continue to reach out, to gain and to sustain an audience. Although our weekly series of feature films at the Gay Street Theatre is now six months old, many are unaware that an excellent movie is available in Washington almost every Saturday and Sunday night. Restrictions by our distributors limit the manner and extent of our advertising so we must count on friends to “spread the word.” Despite the many hours of dedicated voluntary effort our venture is costly so we must charge admission. But discount block tickets and special rates for youths, the elderly and for members of RAAC make it easier. Nonetheless, our expenses are heavy. We have purchased quality projection equipment, we must rent commercial films which were produced at great cost, we must pay the rent and heat the theatre. Our mission is to provide superior entertainment to as many as possible. We do not try to compete with nearby commercial theatres. But we can get many good films soon after their first showing and we can bring back the classic “sleepers” for those who missed them or want to see them again. We have deliberately sought films which have not or are unlikely to be shown in our area while at the same time have included some films of universal appeal and obvious box office success. I think we have managed to present films which will always please some segment of the movie-going community. We welcome your questions and suggestions - at the theatre office on Tuesdays or Thursdays, by phone (675-3814), by mail box 24, Washington, Va. or at the lobby when we are open. Please come at least once and we think you’ll want to return. BILL YOUNG, Chairman RAAC Film Committee Supervisor Candidates (Continued from Page 1) pletion of the jail renovation and dispatch center and adoption of a revised zoning ordinance that allows young people from the county “to have a home here if they so desire.” Latham noted a “dire need” for a landfill and described the Rappahannock County Park on Route 211 across the highway from Washington as “a great asset,” adding that he would like to see “more developments of that kind in Rappahannock’s other communities.” He urged citizen groups who support improvements in the educational program to make their views known to school board members and school administrators. “Maybe we can join together and solve the problems we do have.” Butch Zindel “I’m not a politician. I don’t want to be a politician and I don’t want to be accused of being a politician!" said L. G. “Butch” Zindel, Latham’s challenger in Jackson District. “I want to see Rappahannock’s farms, its large spreads, its mountains and woodlands protected,” said the Amissville contractor. “And I want to see people involved in county government and in the educational system here... I want to keep good teachers in our schools.” Donning a wide brimmed white hat, Zindel gave his impressions of a county school board member welcoming new teachers to the Rappahannock system. In his act, he bragged about giving teachers a four percent raise, pretended to introduce newcomers to veterans with two years of teaching experience in the county, warned against tripping over the hose that carries water from the hall closet to the modern science lab and requested teachers to go easy on research assignments because the library’s reference books are a little out-dated. In a serious vein, Zindel proposed having more mothers as members of the school board, maintaining that they have a greater stake in providing quality education and more time to devote to achieving it. “I won’t tell you what I will do as supervisor,” Zindel continued. “If I’m elected, I want to hear what YOU want me to do,” he said, adding that he will work to schedule some of the board’s sessions in the evening. Sean Kilpatrick “The primary issue is schools,” said Sean Kilpatrick. “The way in which the school system is being run, what is and is not being done. It has polarized the voters in Stonewall-Hkwthome” (where Kilpatrick’s opponent, Nelson Lane, is the district’s representative on the school board). “There is another issue— zoning,” Kilpatrick continued. He said that the county’s current zoning laws can be condensed into one statement: preserve the scenic and discourage the ugly. “The only problem is that gray areas come in on determining what’s ugly. Now the tower on Bessie Belle is ugly. But Mr. Smith’s sign on Route 211? We’ve got a gray area there.” Kilpatrick said he is very much in favor of night meetings for the board of supervisors.“Let’s face it. The meetings are sparsely attended now because people can’t get there! People have to work. ” “Terms of school board members from Jackson and Piedmont District will be up in June,” said Sharon Kilpatrick. “Pd like to hear from the supervisors how they will make their appointments,” she said, adding that she’d also like to hear from Lane how he would handle replacing himself on the school board if he is elected supervisor. “I haven’t checked with Mrs. Massie (the current Jackson District representative on the school board),” said Latham. “I don’t know if she would accept reappointment.” “I would contact parents and teachers and ask for suggestions and I’d ask the citizens in my district for their opinions. Then I would go from there,” Zindel said. “I would really try to find an interested mother to put on the school board.” Neither Lane nor supervisor Charles Estes from Piedmont District attended last week’s forum. Also missing were supervisor Clarence Baldwin from Hampton District and sheriffs candidate John Walker Jenkins. From Both Barrels - Decisions For And Against Public Information By GEORGE BOWLES There have been two major rulings in recent weeks which bear directly on your access to information about what your state and local governments are up to. One may be seen as a step forward; the other, at least temporarily, as a stunning and puzzling step backward. Let us first consider the latter. In a 4-3 decision, the State Supreme Court has held that is perfectly legal for local governing bodies to transact business by conference telephone calls. To do so, according to the majority opinion written by Justice Albertis Harrison, would not violate the state s Freedom of Information Act (FOI). This law spells out in explicit detail the 18 circumstances under which public bodies, such as Boards of Supervisors, can go into closed session. It also prescribes the actions which these bodies must take subsequent to the closed-door sessions to inform the public about what transpired. Further, the preamble to tne law directs that it be interpreted broadly in those close cases where the propriety of public access to information appears to be in doubt. In spite of this, in the case of Roanoke School Board vs. Roanoke Times and World News, Mr. Justice Harrison and the majority of the Court went in the opposite direction. Harrison, along with Chief Justice Carrico and Justices Compton and Cochran accepted the narrowest possible interpretation of the Act. They held that since it did not specifically mention or exclude meetings by telephone, such meetings were not prohibited by its provisions. The three-member minority, composed of Justices Poff, Thomas and Stephenson, joined in a stinging dissent. They attacked the majority opinion as contrary to the clear intent of the Freedom of Information Act. The step forward for public enlightenment was taken quietly and without fanfare by Attorney General Gerald Baliles. It came in the form of an advisory opinion delivered in response to a question posed by Secretary of administration and Finance Wayne Anderson. The Governor’s Advisory Board on Economics and his Board on Revenue Estimates includes among its members the captains of the state’s business and industrial sectors. The rationale behind the secret meetings has been that these leaders would be unwilling to share their business forecasts and corporate trends with the budget planners if this information was to be made public. The practice has long grated on excluded government officials, concerned members of the public and the press. It has been likened to the ancient custom of the women and children being told to get lost and enjoy themselves with fun and games while the menfolk retired to the parlor for brandy and cigars to discuss the really important issues of the day. Such things were considered far too complex for lesser mortals to bother their heads about. But all that may now be changed. In his response to Anderson, Baliles ruled that the closed door meetings did, indeed, violate the law. His opinion shook the Robb administration, which is now concerned about whether or not other inner sanctum bodies can legally exclude the public and the press from their deliberations. An attorney general’s opinion does not have the force of law, but it would be potent supporting evidence for any plantiff who might challenge the closed meetings in court. It is highly likely that this will now happen. With respect to the Supreme Court decision, the 1984 General Assembly should move quickly to plug the conference call loophole in the Freedom of Information Act. If it does not, the way is apparently clear for our cities and counties to be run by officials comfortably hidden in their homes, the corner drug store or the phone booth in Joe’s Bar. Surely this is not what the legislature intended. As for Baliles’s excellent opinion, about the only damage it could really do is to the egos and prestige of the presiding elders of public and private sectors who, perhaps understandably, would like to transfer the clubbiness of their board rooms to the councils of government. The trouble with this line of thinking is that they are influencing fiscal and other decisions which are the public’s business, and the public has a right to know what kind of advice its hired hands in Richmond are getting. After all, it’s the public’s tax dollars they are talking about. SCC Okays Surcharge The State Corporation Commission (SCO has authorized Central Telephone Company of Virginia (Centel) tofcoplement an interim $1.65 rWllion rate increase in the form of a 4.14 percent surcharge on local rates and service charges effective October 1. Centel filed for the increase under the SCC’s Financial Operating Review (FOR) procedure on September 1. In that filing, Centel asked the SCC for permission to implement the 4.14 percent surcharge on its local rates and charges. The surcharge is subject to refund pending a final decision on Centel’s request by the SCC. At the time of the FOR filing, James D. Ogg, Centel-Virginia vice president, said the requested additional annual revenue was needed to bring the company up to its authorized earnings level. He said that in January, 1982, the SCC authorized Centel a rate of return on equity in the range of 14.5 to 15.5 percent. And he noted that during the 12 months ended June 30, 1983, Centel earned only a 13.46 percent return on equity. The FOR procedure, which is used by the SCC annually to assess the financial conditions of the utilities it regulates, allows Centel to file for rate relief to attain its authorized earnings level as long as the increase does not exceed the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) during the test period. Central Telephone Company of Virginia, a part of the 10-state Centel System, serves about 165,000 customers.

Constitutional Officers Face No Opposition “The clerk’s office is your office. It’s not just for lawyers, it’s for all of you,” Diane Bruce told the audience at last Wednesday’s “meet the candidates” forum. Bruce has served as county clerk since August, 1977, when she was appointed by judges Carlton Penn and Rayner Snead to fill the vacancy created by E. M. Jones’ resignation. In 1978, she ran for election to finish Jones’ term. “Now I’m running for another eight year term,” explained Bruce, who doesn’t have an opponent in her bid for the constitutional office. The clerk of a small county wears three hats, she explained. “First, I serve the board of supervisors as clerk since Rappahannock doesn’t have a county administrator.” Bruce said she assists the supervisors with filing, scheduling meetings, completing reports, handling correspondence and other paper work and with personnel matters and payroll. As clerk to the circuit court, she helps the judges administer court by keeping all court dockets, filing casfes, probating wills, managing jury selection and summonsing witnesses. “The clerk is also recorder of deeds, wills and marriage licenses. We often have people in the office looking up geneologies. You can apply for a passport or a grower’s license there... We’re everything from soup to nuts. We do it all. And if we don’t know how to do it, we’ll find someone who does!” Bruce promised. Commissioner Of Revenue “Our office has three main areas of responsibility: first to the state of Virginia, second to local government and third to the taxpayers of Rappahannock County,” said commissioner of revenue Merle Scoggin. Scoggin explained that her office processes state income taxes, receiving estimated taxes throughout the year. “We serve as the connection to the state on anything pertaining to taxes.” For local government, the commissioner prepares personal property tax records for the real estate book which serves as a reference book as well as the basis for local taxes. The commissioner administers the land use taxation program and is charged with making assessments during the period between general countywide reassessments. For residents of the county, Scoggin is available to assist taxpayers on any tax matter. “You are welcome in our office at anytime, ” she emphasized. During the past four years, Rappahannock’s supervisors have instituted - general land use taxation, approved agricultural and forestal districts with land use eligible land and discontinued the personal property tax and the tax on farm machinery, live stock and merchants’ capital. In addition, Rappahannock’s “100 percent fair market value” reassessment has taken effect. “The county has gone through considerable change in the past four years. I w’ant to thank the citizens of Rappahannock for their cooperation,” Scoggin concluded. Treasurer The main function of the treasurer’s office is the collection, holding and disbursement of public funds, according to two-term incumbent Frances Foster, running unopposed November 8. The treasurer’s books are audited annually by the state plus must be alw'ays kept ready for inspection by the board of supervisors, she said. Foster asked for support from the voters and pledged to continue to give the dedication and hard work she’s put into the job over the past eight years. Realtors Offer Rides Voters needing rides to the polls on November 8 will be able to get them from local real estate agents. Eileen Day says she and her associates will drive anyone in the county to the polls on election day. Any- \ one needing transportation is invited to call her office at 675-3400 or any of her associates at home, Day said.

Ranee Spellman, manager of Patricia Saltonstall’s Points of View Farm, was shot from his bulldozer as he was working on a right-of-way that served three lots belonging to Saltonstall and a lot owned by Diane and Roger Kidwell. Diane Kidwell's trial on second degree murder charges ended in a mistrial with a jury split 11 for acquital and one for manslaughter. A newtrial for Kidwell has been scheduled. The question to Konick on his involvement after the shooting came from Bob Evans, reportedly a friend and former employee of Saltonstall's who lives near Slate Mills. Evans passed two envelopes, each containing a list of typewriten questions, to Lee Bird, requesting the moderator to read the inquiries. “These relate to the shotgun killing of Ranee Spellman,” said Bird, after scanning one list. “There are a number of questions here. The first one, ‘Isn’t it a fact that a police report states no fingerprints were found on the murder weapon Diane Kidwell testified she used to kill Ranee Spellman?' ” A chorus of “Inappropriate!”, “Inappropriate!” came from several men in the audience. “What I’m trying to ascertain is that it’s said Konick wiped the fingerprints off the murder weapon. That’s destruction of evidence. I don’t think it’s appropriate for a man like that to a running for commonwealth’s attorney,” said Evans. “Do you have any reply?” he asked Konick. Moderator Bird interjected that the questions presented by Evans constituted an investigation rather than inquiries suitable for a candidates’ forum. “It’s up to the Bar Association or a judge to look into charges of misconduct (on the part of a lawyer),” he said, but added that Konick was free to answer the question in general terms if he wished to do so. Konick replied that he would answer in general terms. “Frankly, that’s all I’m permitted to do,” he said, explaining that Circuit Court Judge Thomas Horne, who presided in the Kid well trial, had placed a “gag” order on all attorneys involved in the case. “No, that is not a fact,” stated Konick with no further preamble, adding that most of the audience had probably heard the same rumors, “it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to be running for commonwealth’s attorney if that were true. It wouldn’t be appropriate for me to be practicing law in the state of Virginia if that were true.” Relating a brief outline of what happened on November 9, Konick noted first that he had been retained by the Kidwells in a civil matter. “I went to their home at their request after the incident occurred. The State Police asked if I would request the Kidwells to turn over the weapon. I got the weapon and I turned it over to the State Police.” Konick said that subsequently, certain questions were raised. “The questions were thoroughly investigated and the matter was resolved.” He added that “what I’ve said is pretty much generally known” and therefore, not covered by Judge Horne’s “gag” order. In addition to constraints resulting from the court order, “some of the details are protected by attorney/elient privilege,” Konick said. “But you’re free to ask Mr. and Mrs. Kidwell (in the audience for Wednesday’s forum along with Patricia Saltonstall) and they’re free to answer you,” Konick concluded. Seventy per cent man's body is water, same proportion as the face of the earth. of the sur * * * Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you do hold well.— •Josh Billings State Candidates Make Rare Local Appearance Kevin Miller and Ernest Sehlabaeh, candidates for the —tith district seat in the Virginia Senate, could both share a line from Miller’s speech at the forum held last Wednesday at the Washington Baptist Church. "If there’s any place 1 should be more visible, it’s Rappahannock County because out of all the district, 1 know fewer people in Rappahannock County,” Miller told the audience at the forum sponsored by the county’s Democratic Committee. Miller and Sehlabaeh aren't exactly household names here, judging by the results in the Rappahannock News’ pre-election poll. Thirty-eight percent of the registered voters contacted in a random telephone survey a month before the election were undecided on the Senate race. A hefty percentage of those who expressed a preference did so by party affiliation, not by individual candidate. “I’ve never seen or heard of either of them,” “I don’t know anything about them” were typical responses. The candidates were working on filling in those blank spaces at Wednesday’s forum. Miller stressed his commitment to financing state government without a tax increase by taking from the “have” departments and relocating to the “have not enoughs”. Sehlabaeh stopped short of promising that he would vote against a tax hike. Citizens of the Commonwealth must determine what level of services they want from state government and then that decision will control the rise and fall of taxes, according to the Democrat from Harrisonburg. “In 1979, when I first ran for the House of Delegates, I only made one campaign promise,” Miller told the audience in his five minute presentation. “I’ll make the same promise here that I did in Page County—if elected, 1 will least make regular visits, at last monthly, announced in the newspaper and on the radio.” He acknowledged that the area he hopes to represent is a “sprawling district” but added “It doesn’t bother me a bit to make that beautiful drive across the two ridges (between Harrisonburg and Rappahannock).” After winning a seat in the House of Delegates in 1979, Miller ran unopposed for a second term. He resigned to stage an unsuccessful race for U.S. Congress and then an nouneed his candidacy for the State Senate after Republican incumbent Nathan Miller said he wouldn’t run this year. “1 do have an established record (from two terms in Kevin Miller the House of Delegates). I have been successful in getting legislation passed (that) is now saving taxpyers’ dollars,” he said, adding that the legislation he had supported was aimed at “curtailing abuses of certain public assistance programs.” “1 am convinced we can do what needs to be done in terms of (educational) programs without any tax increase,” Miller continued. Pointing to declining statewide enrollment in public schools, he maintained that the budget for education could remain the same while the quality of education is improved and beginning teachers’ salaries are raised. To meet the Department of Corrections’ “dire need” for additional revenue, Miller, a certified public accountant, said he would put his “business talents” to use in “making shifts from areas where we can make savings.” Schlabach began his five minutes by stressing a concern for education. The former teacher in Luray’s public schools said he sees “many, many kids who are unemployable the day they graduate.” He maintained that today’s youth need training to provide marketable job skills. “Taxes are a very unpopular issue,” the Democrat conceded. “You and 1 have to decide what level of services we want from the state in roads, public assistance and education.” Those services become easy to provide once that information is relayed to state government, Schlabach said. “The Commonwealth of Virginia has always had a balanced budget. If elected, I will work to maintain a balanced budget...I want no parts of deficit spending. I saw the devastation it brought in New York,” he said. Ernest Schlahaeli Schlabach noted two major environmental issues which will he addressed by the General Assembly in upcoming sessions: uranium mining and the slurry pipeline. To transport coal through the proposed pipeline, millions and millions of gallons of water will have to be pumped from Southwest Virginia's groundwater reserves, creating the possibility of shortages there, he said. Then Portsmouth, the pipeline’s destination, will have to solve the problem of what to do with all that sulphur contaminated waste water, Schlabach said. The timer interrupted before he could go into detail on the uranium issue. In the question and answer period that followed the five minute presentations by state and local candidates, the senatorial hopefuls were asked how they would raise money to replace what the state has lost due to cuts by the Reagan administration. “I'm not sure I’m aware of a dollar amount for that loss,” Miller replied. “The newspapers said it was $:t0<),000,000” countered Dorothy Davis. "As a member of the General Assembly, aren’t you privy to that information?” “I’m not in the General Assembly now. I gave up my seat in 1981,” the candidate said. He added that if elected to the State Senate, he wanted to serve on the finance committee where he could play a role in making adjustments to balance the loss in federal revenue. “$300,000,000 sounds like a lot but when you put it against a total state budget of $14 BILLION, it’s not all that dramatic,” the Republican said, noting that annual increases in the state budget have equaled the annual rate of inflation. “My record shows that I have saved the taxpayers’ money,” h<* concluded. Taking his turn at the question, Schlabach said “In the Commonwealth of Virginia, we have a very, very able governor who is a leader. Fared with a $df>0 million deficit, he bit the bullet and we've all suffered a little bit because of that but Virginia still has a balanced budget and he still found the money to raise the educational budget by 10 percent. That’s the kind of leadership Uovernor Robb has provided. That’s the kind of leadership I want to go down to Richmond to help preserve. That's why you need to answer what level of services do you want from your state government,” Schlabach said. The Democratic candidate was asked for the job skills he wants to see incorporated into educational programs. Carpentry, plumbing, brick laying and mechanics, Schlabach answered. "Also we need to work on the idea of computers. All of our young people need to be able to deal with computers." “In terms of job skills, there are none more basic than the skills of reading and writing," said Miller, winning applause from the audi ence. “We do need to offer more vocational programs, especially in the junior and senior year, but reading and writing should get top prior Judy Hitt then asked the candidates how they proposed to fund improvements to educational programs without raising taxes. "Additional monies will be raised without raising taxes...as the economy ex panda," Miller maintained “With more prudent hand ling of the funds we do have, we can improve the educa tional system and raise teachers’ salaries, especially starting salaries in rural areas.” Schlabach said ho is op posed to raising taxes but maintained that inflation by itself raises taxes every year. He asked where the people in the audience pmchased their groceries—in Rappahannock or in neigh boring counties. “When you buy your groceries out of the county, you’re subsidizing that county’s school system,” he said, explaining that one cent of the four cent sales tax collected in a local ity is returned directly to that locality for education. “We need to consider changes in the way sales tax revenue is allocated. Rappa hannock is getting a bum deal. It is important to look at that in the (ieneral Assembly,” Schlabach eluded. con A BROAD RANGE OF EXPERIENCE IN THE COURTROOM OVER SEVEN YEARS IN VIRGINIA STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS TWO YEARS ACTIVE EXPERIENCE IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT - A PROVEN RECORD OF SERVICE FORMER SPECIAL PROSECUTOR FOR THE CIRCUIT COURT OF RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY (1980) A CONSISTENT RECORD OF ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN COMMUNITY AF FAIRS - Member of Rappahannock Lions Club* Castleton Community Vol. Fire Dept. • Washington Volunteer Fire Dept. • Washington Masonic Lodge. “I WANT TO BE YOUR NEXT COMMONWEALTH ATTORNEY, AND I HAVE ARRANGED MY PERSONAL AND BUSINESS AFFAIRS TO ENABLE ME TO DEVOTE MY TIME, ENERGY AND ENTHUSIASM TO THE.JOB WITHOUT ANY CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.

Panthers Post Win Over St. Anns. J Loss To Arch Rival Wakefield "The hoys finally did in a game what they’ve been doing all year in practice!” announced a smiling coach Glen Davis after his Panthers had their first win of the season last Friday in a home game against St. Ann’s Belfield of Charlottesville. St. Ann’s scored the first two goals. “They were good shots, a bit of a break away. Paul (Cooper) didn't come out of the goalie’s box to cut down on their angle," said Davis, attributing the lapse to the first year goalie’s inexperience. But this time, the Panthers didn’t lose their composure after falling behind. Coach Davis’ newr five-man front line—Will Oliver, Vinnie Caporuscio, Doug McCabe, Mike DeLouise and IAickv McCoy—regrouped. "It was the first start on the front line for Lucky and the first start period for Mike. They both did a real good job," said the coach. The switch in line-up left the Panthers with just two fullbacks but the defense didn't seem to suffer. “John McKay and Brian Kritz played the best game they’ve ever played,” said Davis. Rappahannock’s first score came on a direct kick by Caporuscio. “It’s a play we've practiced. Sort of legal interference. Will stands in front of the last man on the opposing team’s wall and we hope they line up wrong. They did. Then Will jumped out of the way to give Vince a clear shot at the goal,” coach Davis said. After the two goals by St. Ann’s, the coach sent veteran Bob Baines into the box. “He did a fantastic job until he had to come out with muscle spasms in his back. But he was able to return to the field after the spasms subsided,” Davis noted. In the second half, McCabe scored on a long kick. Will Oliver followed that up with a goal and then Caporuscio headed the ball in to make it 4-2, Rappahannock. St. Ann’s rallied to score a point in the final two minutes but the Panthers managed to hold on to the lead for their first win, 4-3. Coach Davis handed out praise to James Dennis who came in at halfback early in the first half. “He had his best game ever. He showed constant hustle and saved two goals by being at the right place at the right time.” By the consensus of the team, play of the game award went to McCoy. With St. Ann’s awarded a direct kick, the Panthers formed a wall in front of the goal. The shot wras aimed over the wall. “Lucky jumped higher than I’ve ever seen him jump before. I never thought he’d get all the way up there. He not only got his head on the ball but he controlled it enough to send it back up field,” the coach reported. With the five-man front line, the Panthers took eight shots in the first half and 12 in the second for the highest total of goal attempts yet this year. ‘‘The new line-up gave us more fire power. It gave us the offense we needed,” Davis noted. Rappahannock was tagged with 10 fouls in the contest compared to four called against St. Ann’s. “That’s probably the most we’ve ever had. It’s the first time I‘ve ever recorded that statistic,” the coach said. But he wasn’t complaining. "The officiating was excellent and everybody played well.” Davis was singing another tune just two days earlier when the Panthers were manhandled by their cross country rivals, the Owls of Wakefield. “It’s getting harder and harder to smile,” the coach acknowledged after the 4-0 defeat. “We’re playing hard—not as hard as we could have, not as hard as we did against Eastern Mennonite—but hard. We're trying. We just can’t get the ball into the net. Either it goes wide or the goalie makes the stop.” Wakefield led 2-0 in the first half. A strong defense with outstanding play h the halfbacks stymied 0pahannock’s offense repeatedly and when a forward managed to slip through for a shot, the ball was easily controlled by the Owls’ goalie. Rappahannock did manage what appeared to be a goal midway through the second half but Doug McCabe was called for off sides on the shot. Racing For Country Spirit Catch that country spirit on Saturday, October 15, Country Spirit Day in The Plains, the tiny hunt country village located between Middleburg and Warrenton.

All events for The Plains Country Spirit Day are free, with the exception of the races, which are $6 each or $10 to enter both. RCHS Runners Top Champs The Panthers knocked over the reigning cross country champion, Strasburg, in a tri-meet last Wednesday at Cades Hill. “I’m real pleased to win this meet,” said Ann Spieker, “I hadn’t planned on meeting Strasburg this soon but cancellation of another meet put the Rams at Stonewall.” When the results were tallied, it was Rappahannock 31, Strasburg 40 and Stonewall Jackson 57 in the Bull Run District meet. Scott Keithley was first across the line in 16:32, 40 seconds ahead of the second place finisher from Strasburg. Chris Caperton and Ronnie Atkins pushed each other over the entire length of the 2.7 mile course with Caperton running a second in front for fourth in 17:20. Atkins was fifth in 17:21. “Ricky Shaw and Craig Kenyon worked real well together, too,” said the coach. Shaw has been moving steadily through the Panther ranks, going from seventh place RCBS runner a few weeks ago to his present fourth place slot. At the trimeet, he finished tenth in 18:13 with Kenyon right behind him at 18:34 for 11th place. “David Fishbein continues to lead the ninth graders, closing the gap between the younger runners and the upper classmen,” the coach noted. Times and places for the rest of the Panther cross country pack were Elwood Dodson (18:45, 13th), David Dodson (19:16, 14th), David Fishbein (19:21, 15th), John Dodson (19:58), Jonathan Watson (20:30), R. Coffey (20:47), R. Williams (21:55), Marc Streagle (23:20), R. Burke (23:32), Karen Ludwick (23:32) and Kris Eidson (25:38). The Panthers’ last home meet begins at 4 p.m. next Wednesday, October 19.

On Marketing And Migrants In The Mountains (Continued from Pape 1) a small step that would open the door lor more regulation. A similar measure was introduced on the House side on behalf of the Michigan Farm Bureau by Rep. Guy Vander Jagt. The bill (H.R. 2711) w'hich was cosponsored by Virginia’s seventh district congressman J. Kenneth Robinson, remains buried in committee. Warner and Robinson are also working on a bill that would negate any labor department efforts to impose an “adverse effect wage rate” for foreign workers. As administrative aide Bill Pifer in Winchester explains it, the adverse effect wage rate is set above the usual minimum wage on the theory that “a premium should be paid to imported workers because they might be displacing domestic workers.” Virginia’s adverse effect wage is $4.39 per hour. According to Pifer, the growers contend local workers are not available or as productive as aliens. Furthermore, migrants can make substantial amounts of money based on the piece rate since they are “more productive and can get the job done.” Local Labor Unwilling Robinson, who is an active fruit grower and packer in Winchester, said last spring that the adverse effect wage penalizes growers who can’t get domestic help. He believes it’s hard to find enough local workers willing to take on the hard physical labor of harvesting and that migrant workers fill a real need in the nation’s economy. Asked who picks Robinson’s Winchester appples, Pifer responded, “I don’t know. It’s not something we’ve had to deal with in the office.” Pifer says much of the recent activity in the area of migrants has been in the courts “and there’s not a thing a Congressional office can do. ” Pifer adds that a closer scrutiny of illegal aliens this year may be a result of other immigration bills currently under consideration in Congress. He says his office is involved as a communications channel between the labor department and the growers associations, but that “recent court actions preclude” commenting specifically on the area’s migrant worker situation. Illegals Here According to extension agent Birgitt Thornhill, a number of arrests of illegal aliens wTere recently made in the Winchester area but she doesn’t know of any arrests in Rappahannock. (Neither does Commonwealth’s Attorney Douglas Baumgardner.) Thornhill was asked what portion of the local orchard work force might be made up of migrant workers and said no one would have an easy time finding out. “They don’t want to tell you,” she said of local growers. “Some have illegal aliens.” Thornhill added that strict labor regulations require orchardists to establish residential camps and other conveniences for the workers. It is costly for the growers to comply. A solution to the sticky labor problem is simply to have the consumers pick their own apples and sell strictly retail. Washington orchardist George Sharp says he’s getting pretty much the same price this year for pick-your-own (PYO) except that he stopped supplying containers “because they’re expensive.” In fact. Sharp says his price this year at approximately $5.00-$5.50 per bushel is “slightly less” than a year ago but the customers pay extra if they buy the bags he offers. Sharp says he has :iA - % of what would be a normal crop partly because an early frost thinned it out, but he’s still in better shape than the wholesalers. The processors, he says, are using “complicated pay scales” this year and “it’s difficult to dispose of drought apples." Recent market reports show that a good share of the juice crop will be supplied this year due to the normal sizing and sorting process, but that the price trend is downwards. Sharp added. Meanwhile, at Sam Snead’s stand on Route 211, cashiers say the golden and red apples were not affected much by the drought and are well sized, but the late crops such as staymans, yorks and winesaps are all about half the usual size. Although it takes nearly twice as many late apples to fill a bushel, the per bushel price on all varieties is about the same as last year — $6.50 per bushel. Snead, who presses his own cider, has a ready market for his own juice apples. His eider gets $2.50 per gallon, $1.75 for x/z gallon. Ben Lacy III of Front Royal has found another way of marketing juice apples. Lacy started the Alpenglow carbonated cider at the Linden Beverage Company three years ago. The beverage which is bottled to resemble fine champagne has become popular in several states along the East Coast — from Massachusetts ,to the Carolinas. Lacy’s 700 acre orchard supplies apples for the entire operation. The new company sold 12,000 bottles of the sparkling cider in the last six months of 1981, in 1982 they produced 15,000 bottles and the expectation for 1983 was 25,000. H.B. Wood in Woodville doesn’t have a bottling company. He sends some of his crop to the co-op for storage and most of it to the processor where it is sorted and paid according to two schedules. Democrats Entertain Blackwater Homestead, the home of Sylvia and Robert Gowell and Sidney and Margaret Gottlieb in Boston, was the scene of the county’s Democratic Committee fall fund-raiser, attended by 75 persons. Nine of the candidates who are running for state and local office attended and spoke briefly to the other guests. There were Democratic candidate for State Senate, Dr. Ernie Schlabach of Harrisonburg, clerk of the circuit court Diane Bruce, candidates for commonwealth attorney, Peter Luke and David Konick, sheriff candidates Martin Orfila, Mark Wittl and John Henry Woodward, board of supervisor write-in candidate for Hampton District, Diane Wood and Stonewall-Hawthorne supervisor candidate Sean Kilpatrick. The Democratic chair of the 7th Congressional District, Butch Davies, and his mother, Mrs. Ruth Davies, came from Culpeper, as did Mr. and Mrs. Greg Yates. Cocktails and other beverages were served with a buffet supper contributed by committee members, featuring roast beef, ham biscuits, liver pate, vegetable trays, smoked turkey and rolls and a variety of other gourmet specialties. Guests enjoyed and were intrigued by the dramatic features of Blackwater Homestead's passive solar energy architectural design.

Stephens City, Vo. 869-1136 ■I Opon Mon.-Fri. 7:30 to 5 Sat. 7:30 to Noon New System Bill Huehn, apple buyer for National Fruit in Winchester. explains that the two schedule price system is new this year. He says the National Fruit computer calculates each load by both schedules “A" and “B" and selects the schedule that yields the better price foY the grower. Each value depends on the size of the majority of apples in the load. The company pays 25c extra per hundredweight of Jersey red, romes, staymans, and yorks for the 2% inch portion if 55 percent or more of the load is inches and up. Under schedule "A", growers get $6.75 per hundred weight for apples 2% inches and up, $5.25 for apples sized 21/_*-2:i/i inches and $3.25 for apples under 21/-: inches. Schedule “B" pays $6.25 for all apples 2‘/2 inches and up and $3.25 for those under 2'/>. Huehn says the company is not presently in the market for juice apples, but plans to start paying $3.50 per hundred weight for drop apples suitable for canning starting this week. The prices are retroactive1 to Labor Day, the start of the official apple season, Huehn says. Because of the new schedules and the drought’s effect of smaller apples, Huehn hesitated to ofttT any price comparison with last year, saying the two seasons are “not directly comparable." Alice Wood at Sunnyside Orchard in Washington says she expects less money this year under the new price system because the apples are so small. Wood says all her varieties — including delicious — are much smaller except the ram bo which she says is her best variety this year. The crop “is fairly clean” Wood added, referring to the fruit’s absence of disease this season. Wood sends most of her apples to the cannery, some she packs for the co-op, some she sells to truckers. Uncle Charlie When Wood was asked "who picks ’em?” she talked about “Uncle Charlie”, the Florida crew leader who has been supplying her and several other Rappahannock orchardists with pickers and leaders for a couple of decades. Wood has one of a number of “crew houses” in the county — she says Lewis Moore and Tom Lee also have them—where migrant workers live while harvesting in the area. (H.B. Wood says they stay at someone else's place while they’re picking for him, but he has "been getting the same people every year, people from Florida mostly" and so he doesn’t “look around.") According to Alice Wood, “You just can't get them from the VKC. They don’t want to pick." She says she has been using the same crews for at least 10 years and that “word of mouth" is the way to find the best pickers. The typical crew has 8-14 people, some of whom ha\e picked in the area during previous years and others who may be new to the picking profession. Jim Robinson at the Frederick County Fruit Growers Association says there are a lot of Florida crews in the area, some from Georgia and some Jamai cans. In the past, Robinson says crews from Puerto Rico, and Mexico have also been used in this area. Robinson points out that federal regulations set standards for migrant worker housing and adds that con tracts are fait out through the YKC first and the migrants are hired if ample crews can’t be found locally. Robinson thinks the .la maicans make the best pick ers because “they’re quicker and they don't get discouraged as fast." My contrast, Robinson says "A failamount of local pickers can’t keep up. . . They yank the fruit loose a lot and get a cut in pay when they bruise it. . . They have to move the lad dors around and find thoy ro heavier than anticipated.” As far as ttns years crop is concerned. Rohinson calls it "mediocre” and "slow" too. Robinson points out that it takes pickers twice as long to harvest half-size apples. Robinson added that Virginia orchardists who suffered the late frost and long drought are also being hurt by an unusually big crop this year from North Carolina. Those orchardists lack ample storage space, according to Robinson, and “have to drop the price to keep movement up." Rappahannock's fruit producers might prefer the problem of too many apples this year.

President Nancy Tribino Schoppet seems pleased with the lesson. Girl Scouts Rappahannock’s girl scouts are gearing up for a really great year. The service unit met at the Episcopal Church in Washington September 6 to make plans for the coming year. One of the ideas discussed was a trip for all scouts to the Bailey Museum in Charlottesville for learning experiences. Another Plan Year coming event will be a Brownie outdoor day.

Bus Shop Open House Scheduled The public will be able to tour the new business office/bus shop building when the school board holds an open house on October 26 at 8:15 p.m. The open house was planned to coincide with “Back to School Night’’ at RCES at 7 p.m. In asking the school board for its approval Tuesday night, superintendent Robert Estabrook said he would invite office staff and board members to help welcome guests. The new sign for the building will be erected by then, Estabrook added, receiving joshing from the board when he tried to draw a picture of the sign—which will be tan and brown and hang from a “T” shaped pole. The board decided to convene early on that evening to hold a policy manual work session. In other business, the board set a 4:30 p.m. meeting time to convene at the school board office next Tuesday for their tour of Luray schools. The board plans to see Stanley Elementary and Luray High School looking for ideas on possible renovations to the Rappahannock school buildings. Estabrook also suggested a future trip to the Manassas Park High School to see a “pre-engineered metal building”,' a type of construction Estabrook said he suggested last year for a gym at RCHS. The pounds of paperwork are what prompted a motion from Paul Nichols to do away with the monthly transportation report. The board compromised by deciding that the report will no longer be placed in board members’ packets but assistant superintendent Tom Campbell will still bring the same information to the board each month in a verbal report. The transportation report shows how many miles each of the county s 19 bus drivers and 23 buses travel during each month and the fuel economy each achieves. For instance, last month the best mileage was obtained by Mike Grigsby who travels the Rock Mills/Laurel Mills route. He got 6.6 miles per gallon. The lowest mileage, 2.8 miles per gallon was attributed to spare bus #14 which traveled 117 miles. The most miles were traveled by Roberta Jenkins who covered 2,595 miles in her Amissville/Piedmont run. Finally the board rejected the bid of $26.50 on the schools’ 1966 Fobd. The board had decided last month to save the car and sell it with spare buses when the new ones come in, but the bids had already been advertised, according to Estabrook. Under the right to reject all bids, Nichols moved to reject the one and only bid—-which would have resulted in a cheap car. Seventh Graders Are Busy With Fund Raising Rappahannock County Elementary School’s seventh grade teachers and students have planned a wide range of events to raise money for the annual class trip this spring to Richmond, Williamsburg, Jamestown, Cape Henry and the Dismal Swamp. Youngsters will be selling peanuts in Washington on October 15, house tour weekend. Then parents will combine forces with teachers and kids to put on the traditional Halloween Fun Fair in the elementary school auditorium on Saturday, October 29. Family portraits wall be offered November 18 and 19 at $5 for an 8x10. Photographs will be returned December 16 and 17 in time for Christmas. In December, there’s the spaghetti dinner; in January, the fun-frilled studentteacher volleyball game and in February, the variety show. Funds raised by class activities will be used to defray the cost for each and every student taking the field trip. As in years past, Lynne Baines and other organizers will again be looking to the county’s civic clubs and groups for scholarship donations for needy children whose families can’t afford to pay the reduced share. “We have had wonderful support in the past from the community and we’ve greatly appreciated it,” said Baines. A group of concerned Rappahannock citizens has met recently to discuss improvements to the county’s public schools. We realize that no educational system can thrive without the strong and active support of the parents and the community. In addition to encouraging increased parental and community participation, we have come up with the following list of specific recommendations for the schools. These improvements, together with the tougher new state requirements, will go a long way towards strengthening education in Rappahannock. We understand that improvements cost money. We believe the total estimated cost is reasonable, about a 9 percent increase over last year’s school budget. Even if the entire amount is raised through a real estate tax increase, with no state or federal assistance, it would only cost about $3 per month for the average county taxpayer. These proposals are supported by the following Rappahannock citizens: For this school year: 1. Study current vocational programs and explore possible alternatives. 2. Complete the cost assessment for high school addition, and apply for literary loan or other source of funds. 3. Publish specific curriculum for Gifted and Talented Program by the end of first semester. For next school year (1984-85): 1. Restore budget authority to school board by stopping specific budget cutting within categories. 2. Offer all students use of computers in both schools, with the goal of requiring Vi year of computer experience for graduation by 1988 (this year’s 8th graders). 3. Offer foreign language to elementary students. 4. Implement proposed index pay scale for teachers with reasonable cost of living increase. 5. Study merit pay systems for teachers and make recommendations. 6. Upgrade pay for teachers’ extra duty assignments to at least state average. 7. Begin high school addition sufficient to meet needs per census for next 10 years. The total estimated cost of $191,500 would mean an approximate 96 increase in the tax rate, or a tax increase of $36 for the average Rappahannock County taxpayer. Estimated Cost: None Already in budget ($2,100) None None $10,000 $6,500 $100,000 None $15,000 $60,000 (based on 20 year literary loan for $3/4 million) Total: $191,500 Richard Allan Nancy Anderson Susan McArdell Cathy Atkins Juanita Atkins Marjorie Atkins Lillian Aylor Vincent Aylor Edward H.

Rappahannock Journal •Farm •Business •Garden •Rural Life Miller Has New Chamn Angus breeder Newbill Miller has another champion. Miller’s Ginger Hill Luther was grand champion bull calf at the Virginia State Fair judging in Richmond on September 27. Resting on his laurels, Luther is now back at the Miller farm in Washington. Sired by Hungry Jack, the calf is out of Ginger Hill Royal Lady 99. Miller owns the sire in partnership with Lymbrae Farm in Salem, Virginia. “Since I’ve started using Hungry Jack, I’ve had quite a bit of success,” Miller noted. There’s a story involved with how the champion calf was named. Miller had just been to see “48 Hours,” the highly rated comedy film starring Nick Nolte and Eddy Murphy. There’s a scene in the jail — Miller’s favorite sequence — when a guy slams into a cell door left opened by Murphy, knocking the man flat. “Hey Luther, what’s happening?” Murphy asked his out of breath friend. Miller, still laughing as he told the story, recalled that the calf was born right after he saw the movie. “There wasn’t another name we could give him!” nouanu duids give your garden bright, beautiful tiowers Trom late winter ‘til June. .©M* Warrenton Farmer's Co-op Warrenton 347-7100 j Marshall Farmer s Co-op Marshall 364-1533 Remington Farmer s Co-op Remington 439-3254 Culpeper Farmer s Co-op Culpeper 825-2200 Rappahannock Farmer s Co-op Sperryville 987-8555 vnwyimn n/V0//o r t Annyak, *%. r* CHAMPION LUTHER from Ginger Hill, shown here at an earlier breeding show, walked away with top bull calf honors'at the Virginia State Fair. Plan Ahead For Park Visit Each year thousands of Virginia residents enjoy the lovely days of autumn on roads, trails, lakes and streams in state and federal public lands along the Blue Ridge Mountains. Shenandoah National Park expects nearly .350,000 visitors in the month of October—mostly motorists along the 105mile-long Skyline Drive extending the length of the park from Front Royal to Waynesboro. Dennis Carter, Chief Park Naturalist at Shenandoah, encourages those who will make visits to the mountains this fall to plan their visits ahead of time. “Weekend travel is very heavy on the drive during the color season," says Carter. “Come to the park on weekdays if possible, and enjoy a more leisurely pace,” He also suggests that plans for a visit include enough time to get out of the car and enjoy one or more of the ranger-conducted activities in the park. Ranger-conducted programs continue through October 29. An evening campfire program is given at Mathews Arm Campground each Saturday. At Skyland evening programs are scheduled each Sunday, Wednesday, and Saturday; visitors can also take part in afternoon conducted hikes on any day except Monday and Tuesday. Big Meadows (Milepost 51) has the most varied schedule of activities. Here daytime conducted activities and/or evening programs are. offered each day of the week. For those who are wondering exactly when the fall color will reach its peak in Shenandoah National Park, ('alter is not committing himself. “There is no set time—for nature doesn’t have a strict schedule. I assure you, however, that you will see fall colors in October and if you take the time you’ll also have a recreational and re-creating experience with nature.” A permit is required to enter the Park ($2.00 per car) and is good for a 5-day period.

News From Castleton MICHELE MAY Rappahannock News Correspondent 937-4031 Brian Tauss says Sunday’s get-together was “outstanding.” The chicken was barbecued outside — he says it was a “beautiful day for it” — then carried inside for serving. Gathered around the table with Brian and Mary were: Milton and Lois Hargreaves from Florida. Shirley Ashley from Chevy Chase, Russell Bertram from Springfield and Clarence and Virginia Bertram from Oakton. Brian says “everyone had a really good time.” Everyone had a really good time at a certain dinner at the fire hall on Friday night and there were several candidates present, but we promised not to mention any of them until after the election. Someone said there were more than a hundred people there, but our correspondent was in Charlottesville at the time and can’t vouch for it. Aunt Michele was looking at antiques with Lee and Diana Bird and Bob Dennis and watching the famous appraisers from Christie’s on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue. Donna Fisher was a little jealous and said it must be nice to “do these class acts.” Aunt Michele replied that she really had more fun on Sunday listening to Joe Boucher playing pretty songs “just for you” over the radio and reading a Popular Library Gothic called “Rachel, the Possessed.” And you know what? Donna had bought the same book and says she read it all the way to the end just to see how bad it would get. Aunt Michele has just got to the part where Rachel is possessed by the ghosts of two dead witches and the handsome man has asked her to marry him anyway. That’s why she didn’t call you all until Monday night. Howard and Helen Holschuh had just returned from a recent trip to the Canadian Rockies. They went to Lake Louise and Jaspar and visited his mother, Mrs. Marie Shaw. Also, Howard says they saw their first snow storm of the season while they were there so he can assure you that Aunt Michele’s prediction of last week was true. Yes, friends and neighbors, clean the woodstove and sweep the chimney because winter IS on its way. On October 3, Donna and Gene Fisher’s godsons Christopher and David Clayton from Culpeper spent the night in Castleton. Then the next morning, Gene drove them to Culpeper to reluctantly return to school. Last Sunday, Judy Hitt went shopping in Culpeper with Tracy, Kerrie, and grand-baby Brandy. During this outing two events occurred. Brandy astonished her grandmother with the sudden exclamation “Smurf! Smurf!” and Judy was also dismayed to return to her car in the Southgate Shopping Center parking lot and see someone had stolen her bumper sticker! It seems Castleton candidates are right popular in Culpeper — people are willing to steal to get their stickers! Judy was getting ready to watch the country music awards on television Monday night, a new portrait of her hero Kenny Rogers prominently displayed in the living room. Mitch wondered why the picture of the other man in his home, but Grandma Shirley walked in and just said, “Oh, hello, Kenny!” She understands — she loves Conway Twitty even more. (Of course, Judy admits if Kenny Rogers walked through her front door, she’d still choose Mitch.) Sam and Cherry Vanneman were out of town all weekend. They went to Leesburg to see an old friend, Carol Rowland. Melzie Woodward says Peggy went to the hospital in Warrenton for more tests The Aldie Mill Restoration Public Informational Meeting At Aldie School October 20, 7 p.m. Virginia Outdoors Foundation 804-786-5539 on her back and was supposed to stay for three days. We hope Peggy will be feeling better soon. We hope Eleanor Switzer and Geraldine Gasch have happy birthdays, that is a happy birthday; they share October 21 — next week you’ll want to send both of them cards. Tomorrow would have been President Eisenhower’s 93rd birthday — We remember that because it is also Mary Lou Crossman’s (but she’ll only be about Vs as old) our former neighbor in Rixeyville — once she got a card from Ike because they shared their birthday. Columbus Day (the real one — yesterday) was Aunt Michele’s sister’s birthday. Her name is Dixie, but she’s a Yankee. Lives in Grant, Michigan. We want to send a special big fat hello! to Angela Tribino in Arizona. She reads the Castleton column compulsively and says she would like to grow up like Aunt Michele — poor deluded darling — and become a writer. Maybe she has some other aunt in mind — Auntie Maime perhaps. But seriously, friends like that “open a new window” — Thank you, Angela. And you, know what Aunt Michele always says: “If you never fall short, your goals must be too small.” ‘Til next week, love, live every minute and be happy. —Rappahannock News Pholo/D Hutchinson PRESSING CIDER in preparation for the crowds at Sperryville Indoor Antique Market’s First Craft Show, Barbara Bradford spins the wheel.

Write Northern Counties. PO Box 97. Upperville. VA W W W c NOTICES J NOTICE OF PROPOSED RULES GOVERNING THE DEFINITION OF THE NETWORK TERMINATION INTERFACE The Virginia State Corporation Commission ('•Commission") proposes adopting rules governing the point separating telephone company-provided facilities and Customer Premises Wiring (CPW). The Commission proposes that a telephone company-provided demarcation device or network termination interface serve as the de marcation 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 insult their own telephone wiring within their premises, and certain telephone companies have filed tariffs with the Commission which would permit customers to insull 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 B1, Jefferson Building, Bank and Governor Streets. Richmond, Virginia and during normal business hours at telephone company offices where customer 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 Sute Corpora tion Commission. P 0 Box 2118. Richmond. Virginia 23216. making reference to Case No PUC830039 Any request to be heard orally must likewise be submitted.

Local Collector Appraises Christie’s Appraisers By MICHELE MAY Kappahanmxk News Staff Writer "The Japanese are more whimsical” Diana Bird told the woman who thought she was holding an antique Chinese vase. “You thought it was cloisonne?” “Why, yes, 1 thought it was cloisonne," the woman responded. The vase had a delicate blue and white enamel pattern on the top portion and stood on a pedestal whose circumference was painted with all manner of crawling black insects. It was the bugs that made Bird suspicious. She supposed it to be a Japanese LOT OWNERS PAYNE MODEL $55,755.00 Consider this energy efficient 26 x 48 tri-level with 3 large bedrooms, 2 full baths, living room, dining room, eat-in kitchen with G.E. appliances.

The appraisers from Christie’s, the famous New York Park Avenue antique auctioneers, took the vase and, according to Bird, “That man scratched it twice with a knife. He scraped it with a knife—twice. 1 thought those people were such hams. I never saw anything like it." Meanwhile the woman had decided that maybe Diana was right—the vase wasn’t cloisonne, which Diana says contains wires in the design inside a metal base on which a powdered material is applied and then baked to form different colors of enamel. The man from Christie’s was evidently digging to see if he could find the wires, but if it were a genuine cloisonne he could have damaged a valuable antique in the process. Bird says. She was equally unimpressed with the comments of another appraiser who examined a bowl she had brought. She said his remarks were "superficial” and “didn’t tell me anything 1 didn’t already know.” Bird was impressing the other Rappahannock residents present Friday night at the Gallison Hall auction preview in Farmington with her knowledge as a specialist in Oriental antiques, but she wasn’t much impressed with the predominantly “Gay ’90s” and Rococo furniture and frills which Bird judged to be in “terrible taste.” Still, Piedmont Environmental Council president Robert T. Dennis says the event was lucrative for the Warrenton based group. At $35 per couple with approximately 260 people attending, Dennis says PEC netted nearly $2,000. “We take money where Second Annual Rappahannock News Scary Story Contest I Can You Scare Usfl I Arc you the one who comes up with the scariest story when the group is sitting around the campfire or sleeping in a strange place?

Christie’s was to auction off the contents of the Georgian mansion near the famed Farmington Country Club Tuesday. The auction preview and appraisal service offered an unusual evening for the environmentalists. Maybe one of the most popular parts was the beautiful buffet out back in the English gardens. Huge baskets of crackers, croissants, crudites and fine cheeses, hollowed squashes of various autumn colors containing dips and a pumpkin filled with asparagus spears kept everyone happy as they chatted about Virginia’s precious environment and priceless antiques.
