Financial Plan May Provide “No Cost” Front Money For Sperryville Sewer By DAPHNE HITCHINSON Kappiihannmk News Staff Writer “Baker Watson Company is a very fine investment banking firm, as good as any on the field,” said investment expert James P. Jamieson, advising Rappahannock's Water and Sewer Authority Monday on the reputation of the company that has proposed to provide interium financing for Sperryville’s sewer system. He described the company’s proposal as “the normal way to approach interum financing for peojects such as this." According to Jamieson’s explanation, what the investment firm is offering, in essence, is a loan of $2.1 million, the amount of grants from the federal Environmental Protection Agency and the state’s Department of Housing and Community Development awarded for the sewer system. The money would be borrowed at (i'/j percent interest (with interest free notes offered investors) and the investment firm would then invest the $2.1 million at 10'/i percent, earning the Water and Sewer Authority a profit — depending on the investment firm’s charges and legal fees — of between $93,000 and $30,000. The loan would be repaid as reimbursable grant funds are received by the WSA. The proposal “takes advantage of the differential in yield” and “insulates (the WSA) against cash flow difficulties,” Jamieson said. “You would be doing a conventional banking operation,” he said, adding that the profit angle has the approval of the Internal Revenue Service. Before the WSA can begin to do business with' the investment firm, Jamieson continued, it must have EPA and block grants abso lutely confirmed. (Both grants have been awarded for the Sperryville sewer project. However, the Authority must complete final paperwork and qualify under state and federal regulations before formal allocation is made.) “Thd idea is correct. It’s sound and in this market, it looks beautiful. And the firm looks good,” said Jamieson, advising the WSA members to be prepared to sell notes as soon as final approval of the grants is received in order to have the $2.1 million invested at maximum yield for the longest period possible. Using the WSA’s time schedule for completion of the sewer project, Jamieson estimated that the investment period could run from March or April, 1984, through December of that year on at least a portion of the $2.1 million. Using this investment scheme, “you should have some profit and you will avoid any instances of being late on payments (and thus incurring penalty charges),” he told Bob Dennis, Donald Gore and (’arson Johnson, the WSA members present at Monday’s meeting. In addition, Jamieson volunteered to assist the Authority on negotiations with an investment firm, the next step in the financial program. He told the Authority that he would expect other firms to offer basically the same deal as that presented by Baker Watson, a Baltimore company with a branch in McLean. He added that he was well acquainted with the firm’s reputation but that he didn’t know any of its members personally. “You can feel certain you’re dealing with a quality company (with Baker Watson),” he concluded. WSA chairman Carson Johnson noted that Baker Watson representatives had approached the WSA and requested an opportunity to offer a financial proposal. Jamieson said he was surprised that the WSA hadn’t received a number of similar offers fr< m other firms. “As an investment banker, I think this is an ideal situation. . . Maybe other firms just don't believe there’s enough money in it for them,” he said, agreeing with Bob Dennis that as far as municipal public works projects go, Sperryville’s sewer is relatively “small potatoes.” Chairman Johnson expressed pleasure at Jamieson’s advice on the feasibility of the investment firm’s proposal, noting that both the board of supervisors and the WSA have been concerned about how to provide financing for sewer construction until grant payments are received without “somebody having to come up with $30,000$40,000 worth of interest.” Dennis volunteered to check with Wheat First Securities in Warrenton to see if that investment company is interested in offering a financial proposal. “It’s very possible that with the announcement of the EPA grant, you will pick up on one or two more,” added Wayne Solenburg, representative from the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission. Donald Gore suggested that the WSA slao consider advertising for bids from investment companies on percentage rates, both on loans and investment return. “I’ve been involved with this technique before,” said Dennis, who previously worked with the Upper Oecoquan Sewer Authority on financing its multi-million (Continued on Page 15) Final Pre-Election Poll Luke Holds Commanding Margin, Woodward Leads Sheriffs Pack — 1 ■ * _ Kilpatrick, Latham, Baldwin Ahead By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Peter H. Luke holds a commanding margin in the contest for commonwealth’s attorney, leading David L. Konick by more than threeto-one in the Rappahannock News’ final pre-election poll taken Monday and Tuesday nights. In the sheriffs race, John Henry Woodward is at the front of the four-man field with a hefty 30 percent of the voters still undecided a week before election day. The News surveyed approximately two percent of the county’s registered voters in a random telephone poll this week, asking for choices "if the election were held today.” Luke swept Sperryville precinct, finding support from all the voters surveyed there. Those surveyed split evenly between Konick and Luke in Chester Gap with 20 percent undecided and the margin was close in Amissville where* 20 percent of those polled favored Luke, 20 percent supported Koniek and 50 percent were still waiting to decide which box to mark in next Tuesday’s election. County-wide, the News poll found titi percent of the registered voters responding that they would cast their ballots for Luke if the election were held today, IK percent for Koniek and 15 percent undecided. In the sheriff’s race, the survey showed Woodward, a deputy with three years on the local force, ahead in all six precincts with a total of MM percent. However, more of those surveyed than in any of the other contests MO percent—were still with out a firm choice for sheriff. Martin Orfila, a veteran ot both the Rappahannock Sheriffs Department and the Virginia State Police, was selected by 21 percent ol those polled.

That’s a very impressive showing.” After the women—clerk Diane Bruce, commissioner of revenue Merle Scoggin and treasurer Francis Foster—gave brief presenta tions, Monroe moved on to the supervisor races. He began with an apology for leaving at home a letter to the Women’s Club from Clarence Baldwin, incumbent in Hamilton District, which he was supposed to have read at the forum. Recalling its gist, Monroe said that Baldwin, a Washington store keeper, explained he was busy evenings keeping accounts but invited constitutents to visit the store at any time to discuss issues in the election or ask questions. Diane Wood, write-in candidate opposing Baldwin, called for (1) comprehensive planning to control the county’s inevitable growth and BILL MONROE met the candidates at the October 19 forum.

Genther Captures Country Scenes In Egg Tempera By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Gary Genther is a 20th century artist who has claimed for his own a medium that was the favorite of ancient Egyptian masters. His gentle landscapes of the Pennsylvania and Virginia countryside glow softly with the muted colors of egg tempera paint. Each inch of masonite hoard is painted with every color in the rainbow but that is apparent only on close inspection. Step back a few paces and the colors of the old barns, farm houses and rolling hills blend into a cohesive whole. Earth tones predominate, the same array of soft shades that mark Andrew Wyeth’s paintings of similar Pennsylvania locales and Remington’s scenes of the Old West. Compared to the effect of egg tempera, oils are harsh with an unrealistic manmade shine never found in nature. “It’s tempera paint, just like you used in kindergarten, only much finer,” said Genther, whose paintings go on exhibit this weekend at Washington’s Middle Street Gallery. “You add the raw egg yolk to bind the paint. You know how egg sticks to dinner plates? It’s almost impossible to get off. It does the same thing to paint on gesso,” (the surface Genther applies to masonite board.) "Egg tempera is the old ARTIST GARY GENTHER—Genther, whose show of watercolors and temperas opens this weekend at Washington’s Middle Street Gallery, fell in love with the Rappahannoek countryside when he drove up here with his wife, Terrie. for her job interview at the elementary school. est medium.

Look at tempera paintings in museums. They look almost new after hundreds of years.” Preparation Almost An Art Genther’s artistic effort begins before he applies the first stroke of paint. “I have to put the gesso on the masonite board first. And you can’t just buy white gesso. I have to boil rabbit skin glue — that’s crystalized rabbit skin — until it gets really sticky. Then I mix in precipitated chalk (a by-product of plaster of paris). Then I paint it on in layers, sometimes six or seven, letting them dry in between each application. It takes the whole day.” The preparation, which sounds more like alchemy than artistry, doesn’t end with the final layer. “I have to polish it with a Utile piece of wet wood, shine it and V WATERCOLOR of a farmer on a wash tub. smooth it. It takes the top layer and all the brush strokes off and leaves the surface like glass,” Genther explained. “Just the gesso itself is like a piece of art work.” Each egg tempera painting takes the artist a month or more to finish. He creates his landscapes and rural scenes in parts, working in squares of two or three inches while holding an image of the whole in his mind’s eye. “It’s very time consuming. I’d go crazy if I did nothing but that,”Genther acknowledged. So tp break up the monotony, he paints a watercolor every’ other week or so. "The egg tempera is tight; the watercolors quick and loose,” the artist explained. The images captured in the Where Are They? when a retired colonel who is also a holder of the Congressional Medal of Honor dons his full dress uniform to take part in a public demonstration carrying a large sign, and intending to insist that he be handcuffed when arrested, you can easily conclude that what he wants is attention.

But the hues in the watercolors are much more brilliant than the soft shades of Genther’s egg temperas, the edges more sharply defined. Genther has mastered both mediums — egg tempera and watercolors — but his mastery of the more demanding medium is more impressive. From Amish Country Gary Gunther comes to Virginia’s Piedmont from the Amish country of Pennsylvania. His wife, Terrie, teaches learning disabled youngsters at Rappahannock County Elementary School. “She had a job offer here and we drove down in August. It was so beautiful — we loved the area. ” Gary first approached Rush River Artists Cooperative about displaying his work. Not only were his paintings accepted but Rush River member Joyce Kramer bought a picture. She took it to Middle Street Gallery for framing. At first glance, gallery partner Sa younger, with not near enough years under his brush to develop the skill apparent in his paintings. But Genther’s career as an artist began long before his graduation from Kutztown State College. “I’m the third generation in my family. My grandmother had her watercolors — flowers and still lifes — shown in Philadelphia. It was a hobby for her. She never sold a painting,” she gave them away. She died when I was very young. I barely remember her but her paintings were all over my grandfather’s house. “My father was an architect and he painted as a hobby until his retirement three months ago. Now he’s painting full-time.” Under the influence of this artistic heritage, Gary began studying formally while just a youngster. Instead of watching the morning cartoons, he spent every Saturday in art class from 8 until 10. The teacher turned the lessons into family outings, loading 10 kids into the back of a station wagon for a sketching trip. “He got me really interested in art and taught me to appreciate art,” Genther recalled. Gary Genther has turned that appreciation and interest into a career. Struggling still to make a name for himself, he does some commercial art, most recently creating an egg tempera painting for an advertising poster for Aplen Glow, sparkling cider produced and bottled outside Front Royal, that will be displayed nationally. But commercial or ghllery, it’s all art, pursued full-time, absorbing all Gary’s energies. (Gary Genther will be at the Middle Street Gallery in Washington this Sunday, November 6, 1-5, for the opening of his watercolor and egg tempera exhibit. The show will continue through December S.)

In Hampton District, former school teacher Diane Wood is staging a write-in campaign against veteran supervisor Clarence Baldwin, a Washington merchant. The News poll found Baldwin ahead by a substantial 70 to 30 percent margin. The survey showed J. R.

Day realtor MARKET VALUE A way of determining market value goes like this: “The price that one who wishes to buy, but is not compelled to buy, would pay to a seller willing but not compelled to sell!” That’s a real mouthful, and prompts a remark like: “How’s that again?” This illustrates that market value is a phrase that’s bandied about by many people, but if you ask exactly what it means and how to determine it, they’re stumped! It’s a figure arrived at by weighing a collection of data. Comparable market sales are analyzed and the price for a home is adjusted according to factors such as size, construction, location, and the time the property is on the market. Sounds complicated, doesn’t it? It’s not something for amateurs to figure out. We, as professionals do it all the time, since the correct market value for a property can make the difference between a quick and profitable sale and a home that stays on the market for a long time. That’s because market value IS the price in dollars that a home is estimated to bring. Fortunately, you don’t have to go through all that data.

The classes will additionally orient prospective parents to hospital policies and will include a tour of hospital obstetric facilities. “The classes are unlike classes in Lamaze where people help in the labor and delivery process,” says Barbara Eggborn, RN, CMH staffing and special services coordinator. “The focus here is to give expectant parents or mothers an overview of the childbirth process from pregnancy, through labor and delivery, and infant care.” A four-part series, the classes will be taught four consecutive Monday evenings, November 7, 14, 21, and 28, from 7:30 to 9 p.m. in the hospital conference room. The cost of the series is $15.

Lane was referring to the suspension of the pledge in light of recent controversies over separation of church and state. The pledge, which includes the phrase “one nation under God," has been interpreted by some as being religious. The policy manual as proposed will specifically prohibit the setting aside of time for religious instruction. Other portions were seyt back to the drawing board as being “procedures, not policy". For example the portions on gifted and talented students and special education go into detail on testing procedures to determine which students should be included and specific program goals. These sections were too long, the board decided and likely to entangle future boards in particular procedures to be followed rather than general policy. Homework The board agreed on homework. Every student should have homework to do, according to the proposed section on instruction. “Homestudy can provide an essential communication link between the school and the home,” it reads. “One measure of a program of course is the quality of the work done at home by the student.” The school board will have its own homework to do in reviewing the rest of the policy manual. Hoard chairman Beverly Massie said she “would like to see it put together over the Christmas holidays so it can be in the teachers’ hands by the first of the year.” After the policy manual review, the board held an executive session to discuss personnel matters. Superintendent Robert Estabrook says the board voted to accept the resignation of bookkeeper Faye Suddueth and to appoint Ronnie Hahn to the position. Hahn was previously special services secretary and bookkeeper. k 1 he board also approved a check for $101.37 to pay for a COIF control switch for the furnace at the elementary school.

Audit Bureau of Circulation / THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1983 No Politics In a letter to the editor, Mr. James DeBergh, Jr. takes the Rappahannock News to task for reporting the contents of the closed records in the Kidwell case on last week’s front page. Mr. DeBergh accuses the News of playing politics and attempting to influence the outcome of the upcoming election. Nothing could be further than the truth. Mr. DeBergh and maybe others have a mistaken idea about what is and is not a reportable story. The Rappahannock News is not the National Inquirer; we do not go with unidentified informants, rumors, supposition, half-truths. We know that plenty were flying around on the topic of what that sealed record in the Kidwell case contained. We know that Mr. DeBergh had heard part of those unsubstantiated rumors; he testified to that fact during his questioning as a prospective juror in the recent trial. We know also that those rumors circulated despite Judge Thomas Horne’s strict gag order placed on EVERYONE involved in the case and despite his warnings that ANYONE leaking information faced not just a contempt citation but jail. Obviously, with that warning, no one connected with the case was going to talk for the record. And we know from experience that those speaking off the record aren’t quite as careful with facts as they are when speaking for attribution. In addition, who knew the complete story? According to the sealed record, only Judge Horne, defense attorneys John Dowd and Rodney Leffler, special prosecutor Steven Merril, defendant Diane Kidwell and the commonwealth’s attorney from Loudoun County were present during the entirity of the two closed hearings. They weren’t talking—not on the record and not off the record. Any other source knew only part of the story. If Mr. DeBergh thinks the timing of the report on the closed record was planned to influence the outcome of the election, we suggest he take that complaint to the judge who ordered the record sealed and decided when to open it; to Diane Kidwell’s attorneys who made the initial motion for closure, to the Virginia Supreme Court which delayed a ruling on the judge’s actions for months. Since February 25—long before there were candidates for the office of commonwealth’s attorney—the Rappahannock News has fought at both the circuit court and Virginia Supreme Court levels to have the record opened. We did not know what that record would reveal; we could only guess at what it contained. We published the story in last week’s paper because last week was the first time we had the facts. Last week was the first time we had sworn statements, statements on the record. Last week was the first time we—or anyone else, including Mr. James DeBergh, had anything more than rumor, supposition, guesses and unattributable remarks. Yes, wre may have given extensive attention to the matter. The same attention would be given to any “mistake” (Mr. DeBergh’s quotation marks) made by a candidate for public office. Apparently Mr. DeBergh believes that the Rappahannock News should go with rumors in the interests of timeliness rather than waiting until the facts are in hand. We certainly could fill the front page with plenty of hot, juicy items each week. Our circulation figures would skyrocket if we followed his ideas on how to run a newspaper—and so would our legal bills from libel suits. But no thanks, Mr. DeBergh. In the interests of journalistic integrity, we’ll wait until those rumors are substantiated— even if it means printing a story that you’ve already heard through the grapevine. Time To Vote It’s almost all over but the voting. Next Tuesday, polls will open at 6 a.m. and a few hours after the close of balloting at 7 p.m., the citizens of Rappahannock will have a new commonwealth’s attorney, a new sheriff and at least one new face on the board of supervisors. We’ve had two forums that offered voters the opportunity to meet and question candidates. We’ve had the candidates’ responses to detailed questionaires published in the Rappahannock News. Checking a box on the ballot next Tuesday shouldn’t be a shot in the dark; information has been available for an informed electorate to make an intelligent choice. And now it’s time to choose. Rappahannock residents can be proud of their response to Governor Charles Robb’s appeal for more registered voters. The percent of those eligible who are now registered in the county has jumped from below 60 percent to 71 percent. During the same period, registration statewide increased to only 60 percent. But the registration record won’t be a statistic that people here can point to with pride if they don’t see the democratic process through to its conclusion and cast their ballots on November 8. Voting is a privilege, a right, a freedom. It is also a responsibility. Vote next Tuesday, November 8. This Was The News In Bygone Rappahannock Times... 33 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS With a circulation of 1,006, the Rappahannock News cost $2 per year. Lucy Catherine Bowey was publisher. On November 1st, 21 Home Demonstration members went on a living room tour in Washington, starting at the Irvin Sisk home to see the newly redecorated dining room, then going to the Charlie Bruce residence and finally to visit the Floyd Comptons. Congressman Burr P. Harrison was re-elected “with a complementary majority” over Republican J. A. Garver. Rappahannock’s six-to-one vote for Marrison ran close behind his better than seven-to-one majority in his home town of Winchester. He received 603 votes to Garber’s 94 in Rappahannock. 20 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS Charles K. Estes, appointed sheriff in 1961, “took time from his duties long enough last week to be elected to this office by a large majority vote.” Estes received 638 votes compared to 156 for Independent candidate Lester W. Deal. New officers were elected at the fall county 4-H council meeting. Retiring president Carty Moffett presented the gavel to new president Donald Gale Williams as a symbol of tranferring of leadership to the new officers. Other officers pictured in the paper were: vice-president Tommy Williams, recreation leader Deborah Pullen, assistant county agent Arlis Frymer, devotion leader Jane Kilby, reporter Amy Palmer and assistant treasurer Charlotte Foster. Our Rappahannock Heritage Letters To The Editor Playing Politics To the editor: As one who normally limits his reading to the headlines, sports page and financial section, my interest was aroused by your treatment of the “mistake” by a candidate for Commonwealth’s Attorney of Rappahannock County. I suppose that the News felt that this information was earthshaking when, in fact, everyone had heard the rumors resulting from leaks months ago. That the candidate is still practicing law after an investigation by his colleagues seems to be unimportant to the editor who insists on beating a dead horse. Apparently, the News chose to cross over that sensitive thin line between objective reporting and sensationa lism. While, on the surface, the candidates have refrained from political mudslinging, you felt compelled to report a story on the front page which had little bearing on the Kidwell case. It may have been more appropriate for the News to direct its enthusiasm to the recommendation of the Grand Jury regarding other questions of conduct in the case. I’m sure you realize that your emphasis on this particular story may have an effect on the fence riding voters in the county who have not decided which candidate is most capable. Was your intention to report a supplemental story to the Kidwell case or influence the voters’ opinion before the election? Each of us will have to decide if this episode is an indication of the moral and ethical character of the candidate. Perhaps some of us can empathize with him, realizing that we all make mistakes (of different magnitude depending on our position in society). But, because of the extensive attention given to the matter by the News, the various leaks relevant to the mistake before the release of the court records and the timing of that release, an underlying question has developed which must be confronted. JAMES VAN LOWEN DeBERGH, JR. Jurors Thanked To the editor: I wish to comment on the recent trial by jury of Diane Kidwell. It should be understood initially that I am proud to be a member of this community as represented by the 12-member jury. Mrs. Saltonstall made a public staement that the county had regressed. I give her room for a 100-year margin of error. Her ideas of justice and fair play appear to date to the Stone Ages. I am distressed by some factions who feel their personal view of themselves gives them pre-eminent rights to dictate to others and force their views on the general public with no questions asked. Then when their own views are needed to apply to themselves—indeed it is unhandy. The “Good Book” deals with all the conditions in which man is likely to find himself, from self-righteousness, to avoiding going to “court”. From an unsophisticated point of view, it seems that in a court of law the good of the people is supposedly preserved in a fair and judicious manner. When manipulations of that system are resorted to produce a desired result are as blatantly obvious as in the past three or four jury trials — it characterized our courts as mere perpetrators of “politics as usual”. Mr. Merrill, special prosecutor, was obviously guilty of such manipulations. Perhaps he knew he couldn’t win his conviction with an honest display of the mere facts. He made a statement that Mrs. Kidwell had the choice of suit to settle with Mrs. Saltonstall after the crime had been committed. With the clear display of his antics and maneuvers to prevent the presentation of summonsed witnesses, the public will be hard pressed to believe the courts are the place to settle anything. I myself do not like Russian Roulette, Several of our candidates for sheriff maintain that much crime can be prevented by a little farsighted warning of persons on the verge of crime. Too bad that they, the sheriffs department, didn’t act on that very good counsel in this case. Certainly there is frequent evidence of just exactly that need in this case. Again, thank you jurists. Because of you I can now lay all of this to rest. These are my worries over the past several decades. KATHERINE JOAN ST. CLAIR Washington Honesty And Integrity The Issue To the editor: From your newspaper account following release of previously-sealed court records, it now appears (1) that David Konick intentionally tampered with criminal evidence in a murder case, (2) that he may have lied to and threatened the present commonwealth attorney, and (3) that at the October 5th Candidate’s Forum he responded to Mr. Evans’ direct inquiry about the fingerprint wiping by stating “It wouldn’t be appropriated for me to be running for commonwealth attorney if that were true.” Mr. Konick’s prepared response to the Rappahannock News about his actions was fascinating in a number of aspects, but it was the following two statements that taken together I found particularly disturbing: first he states “In some people’s minds this incident raises questions about my honesty and integrity.”; he follows with “This incident is not an issue in the commonwealth attorney’s race.” Perhaps I missed something. In my mind, if not necessarily in Mr. Konick’s, honesty and integrity are precisely at issue whenever citizens place their trust in a public official. Admittedly, local elections in a small community like ours are to a certain extent popularity contests. But for important county positions where the scope of the public’s trust includes responsibility for criminal prosecutions or, for that matter the enforcement of local zoning ordinances, common sense demands an examination of issues beyond a candidate’s mere popularity. We’re not chosing a local carnival queen here. Certainly honesty and integrity have a lot more to do with this election than the number of fire departments a candidate simultaneously belongs to or how many hamburgers he flips at a Ru ritan Club barbeque. One statement of Mr. Konick’s I can believe is that this incident has been painful for his family and friends. It must be especially painful for those who’ve helped with this campaign. It’s even been painful for me to write this letter. But anger outweighs pain when I realize that if resolution of the Kidwell trial had been only slightly delayed, all of Mr. Konick’s friends and neighbors might have gone to the polls trusting in his apparent denial of any wrong-doing on October 5th. “Impulsive” actions at the scene of a murder are one thing. Cool deception at a Candidate’s Forum almost a year later is something else. For Mr. Konick to run for or to continue to hold a position of public trust in this community is more than inappropriate. It’s an outrage. VINCENT DeLUISE Washington A Gruesome Joke To the editor: Mr. Roger Kidwell loads the gun with live ammunition, hands it to his wife, then watches her go out with it to meet Mr. Spellman. Mrs. Diane Kidwell gets into her truck and parks it in the “right of way”. When Mr. Spellman, on his bulldozer, makes passes which look threatening, Mrs. Kidwell shoots him dead. What we have here is Mr. Kidwell a super coward and Mrs. Kidwell a killer. Both are scot-free. David Konick, who did not use guns or harm anyone, but made a foolish mistake in the wake of the Kidwell created chaos, is being destroyed by their lawyers, supporters and the newspapers. Meanwhile, not a word of criticism of the Kidwells. Obviously, now “you don’t mess with the Kid wells”. The next logical step in Rappahannock County is to have Mr. Roger Kidwell for Commonwealth Attorney and Mrs. Diane Kidwell for Sheriff. Their supporters might even recruit a Mh Gregory to act as Mrs. Kidwell’s Deputy. It sounds like a gruesome joke, but so seems the reality of justice in this case. W. KUNCEWICZ Flint Hill, Va. -From Both BarrelsBudget Bill Battle Looms InAssembly By GEORGE BOWLES Del. Richard M. Bagley of Hampton, chairman of the House of Delegates Appropriations Committee, says he is trying to head off a major in-house squabble when the General Assembly meets for its 1984 Session. The legislature will convene on Jan. 11, just a few days more than two months from now. Since this will be an even-year "regular” session, it will last 60 days. The session’s principal task will be to enact the Executive Budget Bill for the 1984-86 biennium. The budget for the two-year spending period is expected to be in the $15.5 billion range, up about $2 billion from the 1982-84 figure. At issue is the question of what role the two houses of the assembly should have in drafting the budget measure. The question is a relatively new one. Until the 1983 “short” session, the House of Delegates had tra ditionally put the spending package together. This was done after receiving the governor’s budget proposals and consultation with private sector fiscal experts, the governor’s finance staff and the General Assembly’s money committees. Prime responsibility for crafting the measure had rested with Bagley’s Appropriations Committee. Alter tne committee reported out tne Dili ana it was passed by the House, usually in the last two weeks of the session, a sort of ritual dance began. It was sent to the Senate which attached its amendments and returned the amended bill to the House. The House routinely rejected the amendments and called for a committee of conference. Six conferees were then appointed, three from each chamber, who then went to work to reconcile the differences between the two bodies. When their work was done, frequently in the wee hours of the session’s closing night, they sent their compromise version of the bill to the two houses where it was accepted largely on faith by the lawmakers. Obviously there was little time to study the complex document and its revisions. The Senate had long chaffed under the system. The members argued, with some justification, that the House had weeks to work on the budget legislation while the Senate had only a few days to study it and make its recommendations. Last year Sen. Edward E. Willey of Richmond, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, announced that the upper house was taking a new and revolutionary approach to the budget-making process. The Senate, he said, would introduce its own budget bill in the ’83 session and trust the conferees to meld the House and Senate budget versions together at the session’s end. There were some tense moments in the legislature’s closing days, but as things worked out there was no major crisis. The odd-year budget of $56 million was relatively small and the two bills were “folded” together in a relatively amicable manner. But next year’s budget will be something else again, and Bagley foresees a dangerous and divisive problem. The leaders of both bodies appear to be digging in their heels to defend their turf in putting together the mammoth ’84-’86 spending measure. So, with a potential budgetary grid-lock in the making, in late August, Bagley quietly fired off an urgent letter to House Speaker A. L. Philpott of Henry, proposing that procedures be worked out in advance to ward off the possible impasse. Bagley suggested that the matter be referred to a joint subcommittee currently studying the legislative process. He strongly defended the traditional “sequential” process of budget dvelopment. That is, one house would develop the budget, pass it on to the other house for its action, with the differences between the two eventually being reconciled by a committee of conference. Beside the parliamentary and procedural snarl which two budget bills might produce, Bagley noted in his letter that it would be doubly costly to the taxpayers. This year’s twin budgets ran more than $23,000 to print. If only one bill had been introduced, he says the cost would have been only half that amount. But since the way in which the budget is to be prepared is not spelled out in either a statute or the State Constitution, the roles played by the houses are defined by the rules of each house. Thus, even if the joint subcommittee could agree on a recommended solution to the problem, there would be no way of enforcing it. Bagley has spotlighted a major problem which could tie the 1984 General Assembly in knots. But since the budget bill will be the most critical item faced by the ’84 legislative session, it is doubtful that Bagley or anyone else has the negotiating skills necessary to persuade the princes of the Generaly Assembly to surrender, to any degree, their prerogatives in the writing of it. If some accommodation is not reached, however, the resulting clash of wills could mean stormy debates and long night bargaining sessions when the lawmakers come to town in January. And it would leave the budget making process as murky as ever. What Kind Of Justice? To the editor: What kind of law do we have in Rappahannock County? What kind of justice? WTiy can some people kill other people and go free? Yet when someone else breaks their probation, they’re given time and lots of it? One of the Ten Commandments says “Thou shalt not kill” and another says “Thou shalt not steal.” Yet thou can kill and go free but if thou steals, thou shall be punished. Was money or racism the cause of Mrs. Kidwell being set free? In my brother’s case, racism was the main reason he went to jail. And my brother received six years just for breaking his probation—not for murder. My cousin was killed in cold blooded murder yet his killer is still free. The night before James Gatewood was killed, the sheriffs department was called to break up a fight at the Flatwood Inn involving James and Marvin Renzie. The caller also told the sheriff that one man with Marvin Renzie had a high powered rifle aimed at James. The caller was told that the sheriffs department was busy working on a breaking and entering case. The next night at the Pine Knot Inn, James Gatewood was murdered in cold blood. I’m not saying that Mrs. Kidwell was guilty of murder but was justice done? I know what my brother did was wrong and he is paying for it now with six years of his life. But what price does Mrs. Kidwell pay for killing Mr. Spellman? What price did Marvin Renzie pay for killing James Gatewood? BONITA GATEWOOD Washington

Letters To The Editor More Than Law Enforcement lothe editor: At the candidates’ forum on October 19, there was an issue brought up with the sheriffs candidates that I would like to address. I was very glad to hear one candidate discuss his feelings regarding the great need for our law enforcement officers to be able to communicate effectively with the community, to attempt (when possible) to “talk-out” conflicts and to recognize and refer those in distress to appropriate community service agencies. It is important for citizens to appreciate the complex and multi-faceted job of our law enforcement officers. They are employed to uphold the law and protect citizens from harm. The accomplishment of this highest priority entails the ability to deal effectively with a wide variety of situations, problems and people needing help. The law enforcement officer not only apprehends criminals; he/she can also prevent a crime from being committed by the way the conflict is handled. This also entails the ability and insight to recognize when additional theraputic intervention is needed in cases such as domestic con rlict, attempted suicide, physical violence, rape, fire, auto accidents and sudden death, often before the fire and rescue units arrive. He/she will deal not only with an offender. They will also deal with the victim and their loved ones. He/she will often be required to inform the family of a sudden death and will be the comforter and resource provider in this very intense emotional crisis. He/she will also be a role model for impressionistic children and teenagers. The law enforcement officer will work closely with the fire and rescue service. The county now has a medical intensive care unit and a shock trauma unit, this being a step above the basic life support that a regular ambulance provides. The law enforcement officer on the scene, especially at an auto accident, needs to know what type units are needed and the time frame involved in getting the right help in the right time to save a life. I believe that while the law enforcement officer idealistically does not “judge the law,” this is an overly simplistic response to the issue of the way the police officer does his job.

TEDDIE HANNON, EMT Castleton Stop Bill To the editor: On November 22, we mark the 20th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. More than 400,000 Americans have been killed in gunfire since his death. Ironically, on this anniversary, Congress is considering legislation which would weaken, not strengthen, America’s feeble gun laws. In 1968, when Congress passed the Gun Control Act, our legislators specifically prohibited mail-order gun sales because President Kennedy’s assassin, Lee Harvery Oswald, used a cheap rifle purchased from a Chicago mail-order house. The weapon was fitted with a telescopic gunsight, also acquired through the mail. Less than an hour after killing the President, Oswald killed police officer J. D. Tippit with a .38 caliber handgun acquired from yet another mail-order house. Now, the National Rifle Association wants to gut the 1968 Act through passage of the McClure-Volkmer Gun Decontrol Bill (S. 914 and H. R. 2420). This bill would lift the prohibition on mail-order sales and again allow easy access to firearms by criminals and would-be assassins. This bill must be stopped. Our Congress should not enact legislation which only invites mail-order murder. BARBARA- LAUTMAN Washington, ’D.C. -Ag Districts Questioned To the editor: In your interviews with the Supervisor candidates contained in your issue of October 20th, one of them is reported as having said, “I am not wild about land use taxation. But I do support Agricultural and Forestal Districts. I believe that persons in Agricultural Districts make a commitment to the rest of the land and lot holders that they want to keep this county rural and agricultural. As we know, there is a roll-back tax for anyone getting out of these districts. But land use has no such roll-back tax.” The supervisor in question, I regret to say, is also in error. Section 58-769.10 of the Land Use Assessment Act provides the same rollback tax provisions to which. Agricultural and Forestal District landowners are subject. The roll-back taxes in both cases are an amount equal to the deferred taxes (difference between special assessment tax and tax on fair market value), plus interest, for the current year plus each of the preceding five years. Roll-back taxes are due and payable in both cases only when, and if, the land involved is changed to a nonqualifying use. In regard to this Supervisor’s comments concerning the enjoyment of land use tax deferrals by “several subdivisions in this county” (non qualifying land use under the law), may I suggest the Supervisor request an explanation of the Commissioner of Revenue, who approved the LUV applications? Perhaps there is some confusion over the use of this land, as defined by the law. There are, indeed, more serious objections to the formation of Agricultural and Forestal Districts than there were to the adoption by the Supervisors of the Land Use Taxation Ordinance in its present form, not the other way around: 1. The LUV ordinance can be repeated or modified in any year should the present or future Boards see fit or circumstances at the time so dictate. The Ordinances establishing Agricultural and Forestal Districts, on the other hand, become “carved in stone” for eight long years (or more) and, once approved, are beyond the reach of local government and the voters. We do not elect Supervisors to surrender the modest amount of local authority left us but to safeguard, in our behalf, as much local authority as was handed down to them. If they are determined to continue forming these Districts, they should at the very least restrict their approval to four years into the uncertain and unknown future. 2. The LUV Ordinance is subject to public debate and public input each year because of the normal budget process. But the Agricultural and Forestal District, once approved, continue in existence for an additional eight years and another eight years and so on, if the Supervisors do absolutely nothing, not even consult with the Planning Commission or the Advisory Committee or the public in hearings. Doing nothing, as we know, can sometimes be a very attractive political choice and, if this is the choice made, the Agricultural and Forestal Districts continue forever. The Act says, “If the local governing body does not act (to review between 4 and 8 years) or if a modification of a district is rejected, the District shall Correction Due to a typographical error in the October 20 issue, we reported the age of Lucy Thornhill as 87. She is 77. Also, Thornhill lives at “Jerico” and not at “Thom Ridge Farm'’ as reported. The News regrets the errors. continue as originally constituted”. 3. Approved Agricultural and Forestal applicants can leave the established district to do what they wish with the land whenever it suits their purposes. Of original applicants, they have a statutory right to appeal to the circuit court to overturn a Supervisor’s decision which displeases them; if inherited from an original applicant, there are no restrictions in the law whatever on their leaving the District and revoking all “conservation" commitments made to the county. 4. In its booklet explaining the Agricultural and Forestal District Act, V.P.I. and S.U. cites six changes in the rules applying to land as a result of the formation of Agricultural and Forestal Districts. Four of the six changes have directly to do with avoidance of taxation. The other two deal with new restraints on the authority and powers of local government and state agencies. A public hearing is scheduled by the Hoard of Supervisors for November 7 concerning the formation of yet another Agricultural and Forest al District ("Red Oak”). “All citizens are invited to attend and present their view,” the notice says. 1 hope many citizens will attend for additional education on and a better understanding of the issues involved, especially since the meeting, coincidentally, is scheduled for the day before Election Day.

Candidates Speak At Final Forum (Continued from Page 1) years, he had never missed a meeting of the board of supervisors. “I’ve never failed to respond to any message I’ve received (from constituents) throughout those years,’’ Latham concluded. L. G. Butch Zindel, the incumbent’s opponent in Jackson District, said that where he will stand on the issues “is where you tell me to stand. That’s the way it is. It’s up to you,” he added, calling for more citizen participation in local government. Addressing zoning issues, he said that if the county needs development with lots of one or two acres, the small lots shouldn’t all be concentrated in one area. “The county needs a good mix to stay economically healthy and preserve its resources.” He expressed opposition to a concept discussed in the past—concentrating small lots around existing villages. “Give those developers an acre and they’ll take the whole county,” Zindel warned. He maintained that the county has got to come up with a landfill. “We can’t put it off any longer.” As for an animal shelter, he said he’d spoken with SPCA representatives at the Fauquier facility. “They’ll work with us until we get our own facility.” Addressing educational issues, he said: “Everyone agrees that the high school needs more space.” Sean Kilpatrick Sean Kilpatrick, challenger in Stonewall-Hawthome District, maintained A REBUTTAL TO DAVID KONICK At the Candidate’s Forum on October 5, certain written questions were addressed to Mr. Konick regarding his behavior at the Kidwell home after the shooting of Ranee Spellman on November 9, 1982. As a moderator of the Forum, I read the first of the questions out loud: “Isn’t it a fact that the police report stated there were no fingerprints on the murder weapon...?” When I perceived the drift of the ten questions, I stopped reading them, and ruled, in effect, that they were in the nature of an investigation and as such, too time consuming and hence not suitable for a forum with 14 other candidates in attendance. At this point, the questioner, Mr. Evans, interjected: “It’s said that Konick wiped the fingerprints off the murder weapon. I don’t think it’s appropriate for a man like that to be running for Commonwealth Attorney. ” I then gave Mr. Konick an opportunity to answer the questions in general terms, in the interest of fairness. It was well known that the records pertaining to this matter had been, and were then, sealed by Court order. All of the above facts were reported accurately on page 5 of the Rappahannock News of October 13, 1983. Mr. Konick’s answer first addressed the question that I had read. He said: “No, it is not a fact that the police repoH states that no fingerprints were found” on the weapon. Then, taking note of rumors that had been going around—rumors of the sort referred to in Mr. Evans’ question (“It’s said that...”)—he answered further: “It wouldn’t be appropriate for me to be running for Commonwealth Attorney if that were true.” Since the records were then sealed, and none present could know the true facts, Mr. Konick’s answer necessarily conveyed the impression that he had not wiped fingerprints off the weapon. Yet, when Judge Horne unsealed the documents, it was revealed that Mr. Konick had in fact wiped fingerprints off the weapon after the shooting and before handing it over to the police. In his interview with the Rappahannock News on October 25, 1983, Mr. Konick was asked to explain his answers to the two questions put to him at the Candidates’ Forum. He replied that he had not addressed Mr. Evans’ question at all, but only the first question, the one that I had read. Mr. Konick s reply at the interview was false and misleading for three reasons: 1. In answering the first question, he used the same phrasing as that used in the question (“Isn’t it a fact that...” and “No, it is not a fact that...”) Then, he took note of the rumors before addressing Mr. Evans’ question (“It’s said that...”) 2. Similarly, only Mr. Evans’ question spoke of appropriateness of Mr. Konick’s candidacy. When Mr. Konick said, “It wouldn’t be appropriate...”, he was using Mr. Evans’ phrasing and answering Mr. Evans’ question. 3. Most importantly, no answer to the first question could conceivably be relevant to the appropriateness of Mr. Konick’s candidacy. In short, the absence of fingerprints on the weapon would not, and could not, make Mr. Konick’s candidacy inappropriate. His wiping the fingerprints from the weapon, on the other hand, could constitute tampering with evideyice—a serious matter for a wouldbe law enforcement officer such as Mr. Konick. A Commonwealth Attorney’s principal duty is that of a law enforcement officer, to prosecute defendants charged with committing crimes. He must be fair and impartial, have good judgement, and be of good character, so as to merit the confidence of both the Court and the people of this County. The conduct of Mr. Konick, as disclosed by the recently unsealed record, coupled with his false and misleading public statements at the Candidates’ Forum of October 5, 1983, and at the News interview on October 25, 1983, make it plain that he is untrustworthy and unfit for the office he seeks. This message was authorized and paid for by me in order to set the record straight in the matter of the questions asked Mr. Konick at the Candidates’ Forum, at which I was moderator. Benjamin Lee Bird Horseshoe Hollow Washington, Va. that schools are one of the important issues in November’s election. “In 1980, the people of this county roared out their frustration about the way schools were being run in this county,” he said, pointing out that a referendum on changing the method of school board appointment carried by a staggering margin of nine to one. “Since then, we’ve had nothing but a shuffling of faces in the administration. There’s been no change. We still nepd improvements to the high school,” Kilpatrick said, adding that construction costs over the last ten years since those space needs were first documented have risen faster than inflation. “The longer we wait, the more it’s going to cost us.” Kilpatrick said he wanted to see “open, reachable, straight forward government—not government that works in secret, not ‘we don’t need to tell you anything—just trust us.’” He pledged to work for more night meetings of the board of supervisors, especially for public hearings. On the question of taxes, he maintained that the levy on licensed vehicles, the only items taxed as personal property, is too high and ought to be nearer the real estate rate. Kilpatrick also noted that the county must deal with the issue of a landfill within the next few years. “I ask for your vote,” he concluded. “I need your vote if we’re going to have open government that is open to ALL of us.” (H. B. Wood, the incumbent in Stonewall-Hawthorne District, is not running for re-election. Kilpatrick’s opponent in the election, Nelson Lane, the district’s appointed representative on the school board, did no attend the Women’s Club forum.) Hubert Gilkey “I feel that coming out and seeing people is part of the job,” said Hubert Gilkey, Wakefield District supervisor who is running unopposed. “My vote affects everyone in this county and I will always be available to anyone from any district.” Luke Vs. Konick Peter Luke went over what he thought were the most important reasons for voting for him in the commonwealth’s attorney’s race. “I attended UVa law school but before I graduated, I worked as a police officer for the City of Virginia Beach,” he reported, adding that he had both a walking and a patrol car beat. “I was a standard policeman with full arrest powers... I learned from experience about the problems the police have when they take the abstract law and have to apply it... I know how to help the police translate the law into something they can use to protect you,” he told the audience. Luke said that as a prosecutor for the U.S. Air Force, he’d prosecuted 60 to 80 cases compared to the two handled by his opponent while a special prosecutor for Rappahannock. “I was selected as a substitute judge three years ago,” Luke said, noting that he has sat on the bench in both general district and juvenile and domestic relations courts in Loudoun, Fauquier and Rappahannock counties. “I learned to see things from the judges’ point of view,” he said, adding that, as prosecutor, “most of the time it’s the judges you have to convince.” “Rappahannock County is going to face tough challenges over the next four years. The commonwealth’s attorney is going to play an important role in meeting those challenges,” said David Konick, Luke’s opponent. The commonwealth’s attorney will have to develop a reputation for dealing swiftly and effectively with crime, he maintained, pledging to put an end to “unnecessary plea bargaining” and promising to have more jury trials. The second challenge will be how to conserve the rural beauty and character of Rappahannock County, Konick continued. He said that the commonwealth’s attorney may be called upon to defend Rappahannock’s zoning ordinances in his dual role as county attorney, konick said he has worked closely with the planning commission and board of supervisors on zoning matters, knows and understands the provisions of both the existing and revised ordinance and understands the intent behind local zoning laws. That plus his experience as a special prosecutor, his experience in local courts, the State Supreme Court and federal court makes him the most effective advocate for the county in meeting those challenges, he maintained. “I will enforce all of the state and county laws vigorously and effectively and fairly,” Konick concluded. The Sheriffs Race “Now don’t get excited. I’m not starting an auction so don’t start bidding!” joked John Walker Jenkins, auctioneer and candidate for sheriff, as he walked to the podium. Jenkins noted he was the first full-time deputy hired by the Rappahannock sheriffs department and that he had served four years under Charles K. Estes, “a well qualified sheriff,” before winning election himself for another four years. Jenkins said he has lots of respect for the other candidates seeking the post. “And respect for you folks. I appreciate and beg your support,” he told the audience. Martin Orfila described the sheriffs department as “the first line of county government in a tragedy or crime...You look to us for professionalism, efficiency and dedication.” Listing his experience as a deputy under both John Walker Jenkins and W. A. Buntin and as a member of the State Police, he said he has the tools to build an efficient system. The 29 year old described his youth as an asset, noting that he had enthusiasm and the physical prowess to handle the job of both sheriff and deputy. “Public relations is the PUBLIC AUCTION 10:00 A.M.

Hudson key...You need to feel it’s OUR sheriff, OUR department. You must have confidence in the sheriffs department to know we’ll be there when you need us. And if we gain your trust, you’ll give us the information we need to do our job thoroughly.” The growing responsibilities of the sheriff’s department require a sheriff with “the right mixture of law enforcement, management and inter-personal skills,” maintained Mark Wittl. “The need for more education and more professionalism is becoming more obvious.” In national campaigns, the talk is of candidates with the “right stuff,” said Wittl. “In Rappahannock County, that’s someone who believes in total equality, that the rights of the ordinary citizen are equal to the rights of the wealthy landowner.” The county also needs a department that will leave people alone when help is not required or sought and a sheriff with no other outside business, no political obligations and no favors owed, Wittl said. Rappahannock needs a sheriff sensitive to the needs of the people, he said, promising to increase night patrols to deter breakings and enterings, something that citizens have requested. Coaking hoarsely with a severe cold, John Henry Woodward told the audience that he’s served the county to the best of his ability as a deputy for the past three years. “If I’m elected, I will continue to do that.” Questions Sarah Latham asked Zindel for (1) his position on approving a rifle range in Rappahannock County and specifically in Amissville and (2) where his school-aged children attend school. “A good number of people want a range,” Zindel replied. “If the people want a range, it should be allowed—but in the right place and not in somebody’s back yard.” The Jackson District candidate said his children, ages 4V2 and 6V2, attend Wakefield. Zindel explained that he had employed some of the top graduates from the public school in his construction business and they had encouraged him to send his children elsewhere, telling him that they’d found it hard to learn at the county high school. “Everyone is entitled to be represented in this county, whether they send their children to public or private school,” he said, adding that he will continue to work for improvements in the public schools, no matter where his children are enrolled. Nancy Reeve asked Zindel how he would determine where his constituents stand on a question. “I will hold meetings every couple of months in the firehall or anywhere. I’ll inform people what’s coming up. We can compromise, hash things out and based on the consensus, that’s how I’ll vote.” Maintaining first that he believed the voters have faith in his judgement, Latham likewise said he would “meet and discuss” issues with people in his district. “I’ve never failed before to do so.” Maintaining that parents and teachers merit a greater voice in school board decisions, John Ralph asked how that could be achieved. “I couldn’t agree with you more,” answered Diane Wood, saying she would support election of school board members. Latham said he has always encouraged parents and teachers to form strong PTA and other advocacy groups. “The key to the schools is the school board,” maintained Zindel. Noting that Jackson District has a vacancy on that board coming up soon, he reported that he has already spoken with members of the high school booster club and the Rappahannock Citizens for Quality Education. “I would also talk to teachers and interview some choices (for the board) of my own. Then I would make my decision (on the appointment).” Hearty Applause “How to give parents and teachers a bigger voice? I don’t know how when we’ve got a school board with an utterly overwhelming desire for secrecy,” said Sean Kilpatrick, adding that “time and time and time again,” the board has chosen to discuss business in private. “Things-that ought to be talked about in front of the public are handled behind closed doors in secret.” As an example, he cited consideration of the recently constructed bus shop. “There’s NO QUESTION we needed it...But the public had no know ledge of what was planned. Every time a question was asked, the school board would say they couldn’t answer because it would compromise the bidding process (and then would continue considerations in executive session). And sure enough, they did compromise the bidding process! They had to do it all over again.” The penchant for secrecy is one of the reasons behind his candidacy, said Kilpatrick, noting that nelson Lane, his opponent in the race, has repeatedly voted “to carry on the county’s business in secret. I’m opposed to public business in secret!” concluded Kilpatrick, winning the only sustained round of applause during the evening. “Let the school board attend to school board business and let the superintendent run the schools,” Gilkey stated. Continue In Zoning? Lee Bird asked Konick if he would continue as zoning administrator if elected commonwealth’s attorney. “That decision would be up to the supervisors,” Konick replied. “I’m their appointed agent to administer the zoning laws.” If elected, he said he would discuss the matter with the supervisors. “My recommendation would be that they look for some one else to do the job but there’s no conflict of interest under state law,” he maintained, noting that Virginia’s Code makes a specific exemption for the zoning administrator to hold another position, either elected or appointed. Bird asked Luke if the candidate’s law partnership with his wife and her representation of criminal defendants would present a conflict of interest if he was elected commonwealth’s attorney. “If I’m elected, my wife will give up ALL her criminal cases (in Rappahannock County) so there would be no conflict of interest,” Luke replied. Werner Krebser asked Jenkins what he planned to do with his auction business if elected sheriff. “If I’m elected, I will be a full-time sheriff. I will turn the complete auction operation over to my son,” Jenkins replied. Sharon Kilpatrick recalled that in an earlier forum, Woodward had said that there are times when it is more appropriate to talk to a lawbreaker than to make an arrest and asked for guidelines to determine the difference. “It depends on the circumstances,” Woodward answered, adding that sometimes problems, especially domestic difficulties, can be solved by talking. “You can advise them to see a minister or a social worker rather than haul somebody off to jail.” “You have to know and understand the person, know the circumstances,” Jenkins answered to the same question. “That’s one reason why I’m running. I feel like I know 99 percent of the people in Rappahannock County.” “A police officer must exercise judgement,” said Orfila. Numerous times, particularly with minor traffic violations involving juveniles, a talk with the parents is more effective than 10, 12 tickets. “But you have to be careful. You have to set a standard or repeat offenders will say ‘It’s okay. I’m going to get a talking to.’ You have to gain their respect first and I know how to do that.” The sheriff and his deputies are there to enforce the law, not to pass judgement on guilt or innocence, Wittle said. “That’s the job of the course. If there’s a clear violation of the law, it’s not the police officer’s job to talk to the lawbreaker but to bring him before the court...To be fair, to be equal, a police officer doesn’t make judgement calls like that,” Wittl maintained. With no more questions from the audience, Diana Bird had a final observation. She reported that a similar forum in nearby Greene County drew only 12 people and six of them were candidates. “I’d like to comment on the state of democracy in Rappahannock County. I think it’s pretty good!” Tuesday, November 8, 1983 Re-Elect Raymond R. “Andy” Guest, Jr 31st Legislative District House Of Delegates “I ask for your continued support and your vote on Tuesday, November 8.

Panthers Edged In District As in the final meet of the season when a one point loss to Strasburg cost Rappahannock’s cross country runners their perfect record for 1983,'so in last Thursday’s Hull Run District meet, two points cost Rappahannock the district crown. Again it was the Rams from Strasburg in the role of spoilers. Scott Keithley, the Panthers’ number one runner all year, took first for RCHS, finishing host Clarke County’s course in 17:30. But four of the top 10 places went to Strasburg while Rappahannock took just the top spot, the fifth slot claimed by Ronnie Atkins with his time of 17:58 and sixth place held by Chris Caperton in 18:03. In the six-school championship, points were awarded for each finisher (one for first, two for second, three for third and so on) with the top five runners for each school counted for standings. Low’ score wins. Rappahannock runners took first, fifth and sixth (Keithley, Atkins and Caperton), 14th (Ricky Shaw in 19:18) and 15th (Craig Kenvon in 19:22) for a total of 41. Strasburg grabbed third, seventh, eighth, ninth and 12th for two points less—a title winning 39. Stonewall w’as third w’ith 62, Brentsville fourth with 119, George Mason fifth with 129 and Clarke County sixth with 132. “Scott did a great job,” reported coach Ann Spieker. “He gained a nice lead after the first mile and then held on to earn the title of Bull Run’s champion cross country runner for 1988.” But as a whole, the coach, said, her Panthers did not run well. “The team failed to maintain the close contact that has brought us success in our previous meets this year. On the other hand, Strasburg’s boys ran closely packed with the contact we failed to have.” Others finishing for the RCHS harriers were Elwood Dodson (18th in 19:58) and David Dodson (25th in 20:48). In the girls’ competition, Stonewall Jackson’s runners were first, second and third. Then the Lady Panthers came on in a pack, Karen Ludwick fourth (28:43), Denise Eidson fifth (2(3:25) and Maria Roemer seventh (29:02). Another Panther Winner Maria Roemer, a member of Rappahannock County High School’s cross country squad,took second place last weekend at the five kilometer race sponsored by the Potomac School in McLean. The ninth grader competed in the division for women, ages 13-18. * RE-ELECT * FRANCES A. FOSTER TREASURER OF RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY ’7 appreciate your past support.

Authorized by Frances A Foster TWO FOR THE RECORD—Mo Turner puts up a score as the Panthers hit a record setting 65 points in last Thursday’s game against Clarke County. DONNA ATKINS zips down court by Clarke defenders. The senior guard was credited with five scoring assists in Thursday s season ending victory. Lady Panthers’ Season Finale Is Record Breaker The Lady Panthers ended the 1983 regular basketball season on a high note last Thursday, beating Clarke County 65-54. With that win, they played theirt way to a 646 Bull Run District record. “After last year’s 0-12 in the district, that is really remarkable,” said coach Theresa McLawhorn, who conducted the Lady Panthers. Thursday’s score was an award winner. In the victory over Clarke, the Panthers set a new school record for points amassed by a girls’ team. The performance sends them into Tuesday night’s first round tournament game with a roll of drums and fanfare of trumpets. “They really played well as a team,” said coach Me Lawhorn. “They came out ready to play ball. They kept the pace fast with good fast breaks. They were very patient on offense and they put together a very tight defensive game.” The Panthers jumped1 out to a lead before an enthusiastic home crowd and by the half, they’d built the margin to a comfortable Mo20. “Then Clarke came back and my girls were only up in the third period by three points. But they never, ever even considered losing that game!” the coach said, chuckling. They were just so determined to score 65 and break the record.” (The old record was 64, a mark the Lady Panthers have matched twice this season.) The Panthers kept their composure on the floor and again stretched the difference to a “breathing easy" Let s Go mr—'Antiquing; Delaplane | Antiques Center jand Country Store Country and Formal Antique Treasures Rl.

They were throwing long passes, fast breakin’ it, playing like they were down instead of up. Th^ even got nervous on the 'foul line ’and missed a few^thinking about that Go points,” McLawhorn said. In reaching that point goal, scoring statistic show team effort. Except for Karen Jordan’s high of 28, the rest of the Panthers made more or less even contributions. Melissa Turner had 12. Natalie Butler 10, Kim Settle eight, Donna Atkins four and Connie Compton two. Settle was credited with six assists, Atkins with five. It was a joint effort on the boards as well with Turner pulling in eight rebounds, Jordan and Butler both five. The Eagles and the Panthers each shot about 50 percent from the foul line. The difference was that Clarke’s statistics came on making two of four attempts while Rappahannock’s were based on success at 10 out of 19 tries. With the 65-54 defeat of Clarke, a team that beat them earlier in the year, the Lady Panthers begin the tournament Tuesday night with confidence, according to coach McLawhorn. However, they’re taking more than a pep bus and the lift from setting a new scoring record to their first round battle with the Stonewall Generals, who have bested the Panthers twice this year. "We’re going to try out a new defense—a triangle two—and hope to throwoff their offense,” said a cautiously optomistic McLawhorn.

Sportsmen Can Use Toll Free Numbers To Report Pot Sportsmen hunting throughout the Old Dominion this fall can be of great service to law enforcement agencies by reporting any sighting of marijuana, according to the Virginia Game Commission. These sightings could be in the form of observing a patch of cultivated pot or the hunter could unwittingly encounter unfriendly individuals standing guard over a field of marijuana, or trip over some wires strung across a field of pot to warn of intruders coming close to an illegal operation. The possibility of encountering one or more of the situations described above are relatively slim, but it could happen, according to the Commission. If it does take place, the individual making the discovery should leave the area as undramatically as possible and contact authorities. The Drug Enforcement Authority has set up toll free phone numbers throughout the state of Virginia for just such situations. The numbers are broken down by areas. The numbers here are: Culpeper area 1800/572-2260; Fairfax Area 1-800/572-4510. Sightings of the illegal plant may also be reported to local Game Warden Jim Bankston who in turn will notify the proper authorities.

Stat Man Hunt Has Redskins’ Numbers By J. MICHAEL HEAD When Joe Washington bounced up from his winning touchdown reception amidst a tumultuous roar from the 54,016 fans rocking RFK Stadium Rick Hunt wasn’t celebrating the Redskins’ stunning 37-3 victory over the Los Angeles Raiders, but recording Washington’s, fifth reception in a neat little" box on a 14”x9” cardboard chart. Then, when Frank Herzog recounted for his WMAL-63 AM audience Redskins’ quarterback Joe Theismann’s 23-39 passing afternoon for 417 yards and three TDs, Hunt wasn’t applauding Mark Moseley’s PAT kick, but holding aloft that cardboard chart with Theismann’s impressive stats upon it, each in its own neat little box alongside other neat little boxes that told the story of the dramatic Washington comeback. The comeback in the final eight minutes that saw Theismann pass for 190 yards on 6-of-7 completions to bring the Skins from a 15point deficit will be recalled in vivid conversations in bars, bus stops and barber shops for years. The legend will grow' proportionately with the exaggerated enthusiasm of each story teller, with Washington’s leaping catch becoming even more physically impossible with each re-telling. The yardage on Charlie Brown’s reception to the Raider 6-yard line which preceded the TD toss will become longer and the move he put on defense back Mike Davis will be convoluted and contorted and confused with others made before. The despair and frustration on the Raiders’ face will be laughed about heartily as another round is bought with each memory’s refreshing joy. But the true sports fan, the bottom line guy, the nitpicker who wants accuracy and facts with his sports drama, eventually will look up the stats on the game and he’ll understand and appreciate Rick Hunt’s job on that Sunday, sitting in a swaying 9’ x 9’ booth about 50 yards above RFK turf. “It's hard not to start yelling and screaming when we score like that, but I know after doing this for so long that I'll get to celebrate enough when it’s all over and the party starts,” said Hunt, a Warrenton car dealer and football fan extraordinaire, who has been the WMAL broadcasting team’s stat man for seven seasons, following the Redskins from the George Allen days, through the Jack Pardee interim and into the Joe Gibbs Super Bowl championship season last year. “One day George (Allen) said to me, ‘If you’re going to be around all the time, get a job,’ and he had me do the stats for the team,” said Hunt of his impressment into the Redskins’ family. Hunter, a former defensive back at the University of California who roomed with former Dallas and Denver quarterback Craig Morton in college, had known several of the Redskins in Los Angeles before Allen’s move from the Rams in 1971, and had grown up with former Redskin guard John Wilbur. “I came to Washington in the service as a general’s aide and the only guys I knew were some players with the Redskins, so I hung around with them,” said Hunt, whose swaggering demeanor and cherubic personality work perfectly within the big time world of professional football. “They love him...don’t believe all the crap they give him,” said Stretch Williams, an equipment manager who, like most of the players and coaches, trades barbs and insults with the irrepressible Hunt. “Rick...well, he keeps us loose,” said WMAL Operations Director Jim Gallant who directs the Redskins broadcast team of Herzog, Sam Huff and Sonny Jergensen who handle the games like they were taking the 100-plus stations’ listeners into a bull session at the corner bar. "They’ve all got their egos under control and it’s a relaxed feeling,” Gallant said of the crew for which Hunt provides the stats — and the object of some good SHOOTING MATCH Every Friday Night 7:30 p.m. Washington Volunteer Fire Department No sleeves allowed Large Prizes natured needling. “Now no commercials this time, Rick, no commercials,” said Herzog during a break before halftime when Hunt got to be on the air for one of the few times in his stint in the booth. “You’ve waited seven years for this, now don’t blow it,” Herzog chided Hunt before introducing him to discuss the first half action. “I wouldn’t want to say he’s the team jester, but he works so well with the guys’ needles and jabs — and still keeps the numbers coming clearly and quickly which is really difficult to do, if you’re ever tried,” Gallant said, explaining the plight of the avid fan who has to do his job when he’d rather enjoy the action. “It’s hard to really watch the game when you’re always looking at the down markers and hash marks,” said the WMAL director.

The director constantly is checking his ever-present stop watch and shuffling reminder cards to Herzog for commercial segways and promos. Gallant also regularly reminds the crew to let the listening audience know the score and time remaining. “I hate to listen to a game and they never tell you those things,” he laughed. Hunt’s stats aren’t used as the official record of the game by either the Redskins or the National Football League, with both organizations having their own person charting the game. But Hunt said his numbers seldom vary more than a yard from the others, with the difference only on an interpretation of where the ball is spotted. an interpretation of where the ball is spotted. "You figure the rule of thumb is always give the most negative spot," Hunt said, referring to situations where the ball is advanced to the 31-yard line, but is about a ball length past the yard stripe. “You can’t give them the next yard because they haven't gained it yet, so you go back to the one furthest back from where they’re going," Hunt said. Hunt said the most difficult decision to make as a statistician is on the quarterback’s scrambling where rushing yardage is. different from a quarterback being sacked. “If he (the QB) ever pulls the ball down and starts forward, he’s running and it’s not a sack,” said Hunt, differentiating between lost yardage on a sack (which comes off the passer’s passing yardage) and that lost when he’s running. "That’s when it’s just a matter of opinion on when a scrambling quarterback like Theismann is running or passing,” said Hunt. While Hunt is compen sated for his time, he said he simply liked the opportunity to he a part “...of the closest organization in the National Football League." "We’re as much of a family as you hear about, especially since (Coach Joel Gibbs arrived," Hunt said, and his relationship with the players and coaches before anti after the game shows the good-natured camaraderie of the group. "Oh yeah, he’s the best handicapper in the business,” said Richie Petibon, assistant head coach, referring to Hunt who is a member of The Democrat's Fearless Forecaster panel. “You’re doing a story on HIM?” asked kicker Mark Moseley. “He probably bought the whole page!” “If you’re so tough, why don’t you put the pads on and come on out,” defensive tackle Dave Butz has told a hot-dogging Hunt. But Hunt knows he can get away with his sarcasm without suiting up, and is happy just being a part of the world champions RE-ELECT DIANE BRUCE AS CLERK OF COURT / ask for your vote of confidence on November 8.

Daughter Dale Grimsley says she and Melzie were going to spend Monday night at the Sheraton Hotel while the doctors decided what to do. “His spirits are up,” Dale told us. “He seems real good.” Hope and prayers, that was the best medicine Castleton neighbors were sharing with the Woodwards. On Tuesday, John Henry said J. T. was about ready to come home. Meanwhile Monday was John Henry’s birthday; and yesterday was Pastor Switzer’s. Helen and Donald Fridenstine recently re* turned from a week in San Francisco. They stayed with Dr. and Mrs. J. P. Allen.

They also went into wine country and spent a day at Nappa Valley. Our Castleton correspondent from Amissville had Sunday dinner with the Washington correspondent in Old Hollow and they compared iiotes on how to correspond correctly. Then they called Mary Tauss.

Nancy and Richard took both sets of their parents to hear the Tommy Dorsey band at the Stallion Station in Culpeper last Thursday. The place was packed and they got the last table even though they had made reservations two weeks in advance. Nancy says it was worth it, they had fine French food, and everything was beautiful — candles, china, and real linen napkins. The occasion was her parents’ — Mr. and Mrs. M. W. Smith — 44th anniversary. Also, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Schoppet got a kick out of their sons’ questions about the situation on the war-front — World War II, that is. The music sort of brought back thoughts of the Allied and Axis powers, FDR’s fireside chats, and Ike’s invasion at Normandy. Finally, Richard’s dinner partners had to say, “Let’s forget about the war. Let’s dance.” Nancy will be doing plenty of dancing this time tomorrow.

What’s In A Name? By HELEN KILBY Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The poet who said, “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet” was implying that nothing is in a name. But what if you had to go through life answering to “Pig-Nose” or “Frog-Legs” or “Pecker-Wood”? There is a big psychological question raised here. But oh, the color! The imagery conjured up by the hundreds of amusing or bemusing, descriptive or satirical names bestowed upon Rappahannock citizens, present and past, could very well rival the colors of October in these hills. Lucikly for me, the names mentioned here are not the real, Mama-andPama-bestowed, or baptismally confirmed names; nor are they the names written down on school records (even though a kid on the first day of first grade may not even know what his real name is). Anyway, there is no way of identifying the real from the fictional, and no way, as I see it, for anybody’s being offended. One name, whether real or “nick” or purely imaginary, is as good as any other name, and so are the personalities. Consider these: Baldy, Butch, Slick, Slim, Shorty and Teeny; Sandy, Cotton, Red, Blue, Pinky, Whitey and Blacky; Hog-Eye, White-Eye, Grey-Eye, Dead-Eye and Bright-Eye; Hoss, Mule, Goat, Kitty, Goose, Weezil, Tom-Cat and Rooster; Twizzie, Skippy, Skee, Tooty, Toots and Hots; Brew, Stew, and Soup; or Dike, Oak, Boot, Baby-Doll, Pee-Wee, Preacher-Man and It. These are just some of the Rappahannock names I’ve heard about, or dreamed up, in my little corner of the county. I’m sure there are hundreds more in other villages, or hollows, or in warehouses of imaginary materials stored in various minds, like cartons of unsorted junk one sends to the attic. Undoubtedly, there is a good story (true or imaginary) attached to each. , I can tell you about one eventful day in the life of Ha-Ha_, told with respect and genuine sympathy. Ha-Ha was a man of intelligence and gallantry who had a way of saying. “Howdy-do” and bowing politely (if he was sober.) He was experienced, with a capital E, for he had been places and seen things few of us had seen. He had served his country well as an officer overseas in WW-2. But HaHa had a weakness, like so many others, for “the grape”. When Ha-Ha got back to Rappahannock from the war, he had plenty to remember, but §ven more to forget. And there was access to the “magic elixir”, either covertly hidden up the hollows or only a thumbride’s distance away at the legal package stores at Front Royal or Culpeper. And he had no lack of comrades willing to join him in his ritual of self-therapy for forgetting: getting drunk. But the day came when there was a reckoning. Ha-Ha and a very good friend of his (Let’s ckll him Judd) took their last fifth to a semi-secluded grassy spot under some trees not far from town. There they enjoyed passing the bottle back and forth between them until they both fell asleep on the grass. It was a long, deep sleep they had, while a few yellow-jackets buzzed around. Three inquisitive beagles left a rabbit trail to come by and sniff at the figures, sprawled mouth-open and odorous. Then they moved on, after appropriately marking the tree as territory for future investigation. Later, as fate would have it, Ha-Ha was the first to awake. He blinked a.t the sky for a while as consciousness returned. Then he looked around to discover his companion still out cold, cold as any fighter that Joe Lewis had laid on the canvas! Ha-Ha reached for the bottle, but that was empty and a yellow-jacket had crawled inside. He smashed it against the tree. Still, Judd continued his strange little sleeping sounds after lifting one hand ever so slightly and letting it plop again beside him. So Ha-Ha did what almost any other man would have done under the circumstances: he frisked his friend, discovered one last bill in the wallet, and took off to hitch-hike to Front Royal before the ABC store closed. Ha-Ha was well under way before Judd came to. But when Judd found himself alone and minus that last bill of “folding money”, he regained enough of his sensibility to put two and two together and to conclude that he had been robbed and who the lowdown skunk was that “done it.” To say that he was mad just isn’t (ain’t) putting it strong enough. He w'as spittin; mad, furious and about to bust with the urge to kill! He visited the tree, then took off in a rapid stumble on the crooked-mile back to the village. There he rounded up a couple of his cronies sitting by the curb at the Corner Store. He told them of the heinous crime of which he had been the victim. And he deputized them on the spot to assist him in bringing the perpetrator to justice (or else it would never again be safe to get drunk with your neighbors). Their duty was clear: they had to make an example of Ha-Ha. So they carefully plotted the capture, the sentencing, and the hanging by the neck of one Ha-Ha_, thief and robber. Taking a length of extra-heavy tow rope, the three men in an old Chevy headed in the direction of Front Royal to take the law into their own hands. Sure For all your printing needs...

(He had already flagged rides past Foster’s Packing house and past Mrs Slaughter’s place and was throwing up a thumb for an other ride when the} spotted him.) Pulling the car off the road just ahead, the three men jumped out and closed in on Ha-Ha, who suddenly recognized and got a whiff ol blood-hunger emancting from the advancing Judd. Ha-Ha was saying, “Hi there, Judd, Where you going’? I thought you was indis-posed. . . I gotta go to Front Royal to tend to a leetle business. . . etc, etc.” All this while two of the men gripped him by the arms and the seat of his pants and were half carrying, half goading him toward the car. Ha-Ha cringed and whinned in a child-like voice, “What’re you doing’? What you gonna do to me?” “We’re gonna HANG you”, announced Judd emphatically, to which the other two assented by jerking him more harshly as they landed him in the back seat of the car. men, a man on either side of Ha-Ha, they fitted the noose around his neck. By this time Ha-Ha was scared speechless. He just sat on the edge of the seat while the driver revved up the engine and spun the car around, heading back toward Huntly. “We’re gonna find a tree with a good, strong limb reachin’ out. They’s a good hanging’ tree ahead a ways.” Judd explained as they sped onward. The car slowed down as they approached a place where a few large spreading trees reached out across the highway. “Here”, Judd decided, “Here.” The moment and the place for the reckoning! “Oh God!. . . Dear Jesus. . begged Ha-Ha. “Don’t kill me. . . I didn’t do nothing’. . . here’s yore money,” he pleaded with Judd. The three executioners didn’t let a muscle of their faces twitch as they unloaded Ha-Ha and carried him to a tree, his short legs not quite, touching ground as he w as running 60 mph in the air, going no place saver closer and closer to doom. “I swear, I’ll never do it again. I swear,” he sobbed. “All you’re gonna get is JUSTICE,” said Judd. “Oh my God! There ain’t no justice. . . not that, give me MERCY. . . mercy. . ‘Blessed are the merciful’ ”. He was quoting Scripture and seeing visions of that “other” place. Suddenly, and miraculously, that is what was granted: mercy. For after the three men had dragged and carried Ha-Ha to the very trunk of the hanging tree, they were ti’ed and their passions w'ere spent. So Judd opened the noose, wound up his rope and, without another word, the three got back in the Chevy and drove away. Ha-Ha slumped to the ground and laid his head back against the tree, spiling great floods of hot tears down over his face, while feeling great floods of mercy washing him clean from inside out. (Un other clays of other years of his life, he was to “back-slide” before he finally went on the wagon permanently. But Ha-Ha never forgot that day of reckoning when he was spared. And neither did Judd, who had come THAT elose to commiting murder! Whenever any one of them remembered the incident in later years and laughted about it, there was something more than humor that they remembered — something not so really ha-ha about poor Ha-Ha.) **** Advertising helps you reach out to hundreds of potential customers who have never seen your store.

Fire Drill Here are some rules from a brochure published by the Chesterfield fire department which is available from Castleton volunteers. In case of fire, call 8252222. 1. If your smoke detector is located in the hallway outside your bedroom area, sleep with your bedroom door open. If you have a smoke detector inside your bedroom you can sleep with your door closed and still have early detection of the fire, should it 'tart inside your room. 2. If you awake to an alarm or suspect fire at night, roll out of bed. sure they get out and stay out! 4. Assign someone, before a fire occurs, to assist infants, elderly and handicapped family members. 5. If you are trapped in an upstairs bedroom, try to prevent smoke from entering the room. Stuff blankets or sheets around the door. Open the window a few inches to get fresh air. Hang something brightly colored out the window to attract attention. Await rescue. If it becomes impossible to wait, hang from the window sill by your hands and drop to Crawl over to the door. If the door is open and smoke is pouring in, quickly close the door. This will hold back the smoke and heat for up to 20 minutes. If the bedroom door is closed, test the door before opening it. Feel the door with your hand for heat, if door is hot or smoke is entering, do not open it. Use your emergency exit'. If ‘ the door is cool and no smoke is leaking in, open the door cautiously. Brace your shoulder against the door and open it slowly. Be prepared to slam it shut if smoke or heat rush in. 3. Do not waste time gathering valuables or getting dressed. Get out! Cases have been cited, where children have reentered a burning home to rescue a pet or a toy. Make the ground. This will lessen the distance you will have to fall. Never attempt an exit from your window above the second floor. 6. If you must break a window to exit, make sure to turn your head away from the window as you strike it with a large object, such as a chair. Clear as much of the jagged glass as possible from the window. Throw a blanket or rug over the window sill to protect against broken glass, then exit from the window. 7. Go immediately to the predetermined outside meeting place and wait for other family members. Hold regular fire drills in your home. The more you practice the better you will become at escaping. Remember, test your smoke detectors monthly. Time To Think About Bird Feeding i “Eating like a bird” is a common description of someone who doesn’t seem to eat much, but the truth is that birds eat a great deal and even a day without food can mean death in the wild bird population. beaks, chicadees, purple finches, jays and mockingbirds. Put out sunflower seeds, shelled peanuts (unsalted), raisins and currants. High feeders or feeders hanging in trees will attract cardinals, chickadees, tit’w-waa^mm ■■ n !■ With snow covering up the source of their food, most local birds are desperate for nourishment. You can help save your backyard bird population by supplying food, not only on snowy days, but throughout the cold weather. The National Wildlife Federation has some tips for bird lovers, both on the type of food and the type of feeder that will benefit them most. Ground-feeding stations—a patch of yard or simply dish—attract jays, sparrows, doves, chickadees, juncos, house finches, even pheasants. Scatter sunflower seeds, cracked corn and peanuts. Window feeders are for cardinals, gold finches, gros mice, nuthatches, finches, redpolls and pine siskins. For them, supply thistle, sunflower seeds, nutmeats or a commercial mix. Trunk feeders need food, too. Woodpeckers and chicadees will appreciate suet cakes, peanut butter and the two mixed together. Put suet in a mesh bag and tack it to the tree.

Eastham was honored in her third year with the Beverly Harris Scholarship for demonstrating outstanding commitment to ' the nursing profession," the article reported. “Selection as the Nurse of the Week may be even more special to her because it is the result of careful consideration from the Nursing Student Council, which accepted nominations for the award directly from Nursing School students.” Receipt of the award was a surprise to Eastham who was pleased with having earned the respect of her fellow students, according to the article. The Journal quotes Eastham on the role of nursing in modern health care: “Once somebody’s in the hospital they can appreciate a nurse more. We don’t claim to have the knowledge a doctor does, but our role’s different; we’re really the patient advocates. We can see the subtle changes in a patient probably a lot quicker than a doctor could.” The article relates one of the very emotional moments that Eastham has shared with patients and their families as an extern at the UVa Hospital. “I worked with a lady last summer and saw her go through chemotherapy and the hair loss — all the side effects which go with it. She was kept in isolation a lot because her immune system was really low. A cold could have killed her. “Our main goal was to get her home. The day she left, the whole staff, not just me, was crying. That’s probably the best experience I’ve had as a nurse. “The biggest reward is when you work with patients every day over a long period, and as a student, 1 get different patients every week. Seeing people go through cancer and going through chemotherapy and then finally getting to go home is the best.” According to the Journal, Hast ham realizes that not all of a nurse’s patients will go home; that nurses must learn to deal with the process of dying. "1 think the main thing when you're working with a dying patient — it sounds corny — but 1 think the greatest fear they have is of being left alone. That’s the best thing the nurse can do, to not leave them alone. “It’s hard to go into a room with a dying patient. You don’t want to go in. Hut I really believe that people are not scared of death, only of being left alone. 'Each weekend, Marion returns to the family farm. Red Hill, on Route 72J> near Ben Venue. There she helps her father and brother, W.G. Eastham and 1 )unny, Jr., with their horse breeding and training business. 1 he busy schedule on farm, school and hospital work means she must manage her hours carefully. She told the Journal that often, there doesn t seem to he any end to time she must spend working. "A lot of times I finish my day and think that there's a lot more I could have done for the client, but I just don t have enough time." Although it can be frustrating as well, she sees nursing as a "really rewarding" career. After a few years of practical experience, the Journal reports, Kastham wants to pursue her main interest general family work — and work in the community with people. "So many people are more interested in their health than they used to be," said I'Va's Nurse of the Week for the Week of.the Nurse. "I love teaching families and would love to run an educa tion program in a hospital for people who have just had heart attacks teach them how to adjust to a new life style.” Social Security Recipients Should Check ’R3 Karuiugs Persons who receive Social Security checks and also work should check their earnings for 1983, Bruce Hundley, Culpeper branch manager, advises. Those who estimated that their 19811 earnings would not exceed the annual limits should make sure they have not earned more than they anticipated. The limit is $<>,(>00 for person 05-70 and $4,920 for persons under 05 all of 1983. If the annual earnings exceed the limit, $1 in benefits is withheld for each $2 of earnings above the limit. Benefits that were incorrectly paid must be repaid, Mr. Hundley said. If a person finds he is earning more or less than estimated, he should notify Social Security immediately so that benefits can be adjusted and an overpayment avoided. Benefits can be paid to a widow or widower 00 or older, a disabled widow or widower 50 to 00, a child un (Icr IN, l.s lit if a full time liiffh school student and over IN it disabled before ajye 22, a parent caring for an entitled child under lti, and a parent <52 or older who was dependent upon the worker for half or more of his or her support. In addition there is a $255 lump sum death pay ment that can be made to an eligible widow or widower ora dependent child. Survivors should contact Social Security no later than a month after the worker dies to determine if any benefits are available.

National Recognition Wakefield Magazine Wins First Place By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock News Staff Writer Wakefield School will be honored in New York City next week by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association at the University’s November 7 awards presentation ceremony. Wakefield’s literary magazine, the “Talisman” took first place in the 60th annual nation wide competition among secondary schools. In judging Wakefield’s magazine the best, Columbia officials said, “The high quality of academics at your school is evident on every page—the students’ interests, vocabulary, preception and fluency. That’s impressive.” Faculty advisor Freeman Allen says the award “really is a significant one.” Wakefield has only produced its literary magazine for three years, he says “so to win a first place judging in this premiere national competition of high school publications is quite an honor.” The English department submitted the 1983 edition in the literary/art division of the Columbia contest last summer. After the first nlace award was announced on October 14, headmaster William Lynn said, “The whole school community can take immense pride on this considerable achievement.” While two previous editions of the Talisman have received regional awards from the Southern Interscholastic Press Association of the College of Journalism of the University of South Carolina, the award from Columbia University marks th first national recognition won by the magazine. Wakefield’s Talisman contains selected poetry, short stories, plays, literary criticism and art work of students in grades 1-12. A student staff, with assistance from faculty members Freeman Allen and Helen Ruisi, undertakes responsibility for the production of the magazine each year. The costs of production are partly offset by student fund raising projects. The “Talisman”, edited by Rebecca McWhorter, takes its name from the Greek concept of “a compact, condensed power used to avert the forces of evil, to keep that which is good pure, and to make that which is tainted pure again” according to the magazine’s forward. “Because the subtle meanings of a poem or picture have the ability to reveal our inner thoughts or School Menus The Child Care & Learning Center Nov. 7-11 Monday: Bean tofu with rice, buttered corn, carrot slices, orange slices, milk.

"Ernie" Schlabach of Rockingham County is pictured above with former Senator George Aldhizer, who has endorsed Schlabach's candidacy. ★ DEMOCRAT ★ FOR SENATE OF VIRGINIA INTEGRITY FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY EFFECTIVE REPRESENTATION Authorized by the Candidate expand our knowledge, this talisman of the Wakefield student body is our device of power with which we express ourselves. For the writer or artist ‘Talisman’ is a source of protection, offering a safe outlet for feelings he or she otherwise could not convey. ” Having set forth this statement of purpose, the “Talisman” staff published 11 short stories, nine entries in the “essays, drama and criticism” category, 28 short pieces and poems from the lower school, proverbs and a full assortment of illustrations from Wakefield’s art students. Given special recognition in the volume were those award winning stories judged by the editors themselves to be the best efforts of their peers. In the short stories Larry Doherty took first place with “The Beach”, a saga of the wind and the waves, the sun, the sand and the girls. The other winning entries were “The Lion Problem” by Josephine Hood in second place, “The Clown” by Susannah McClellan in third and an honorable mention to “Coffin Built for Two” by Kim Johnson. Rebecca McWhorter’s “The Death of the Traditional Family” took first place among the critical writing category. “When confronted with the long list of problems the world is faced with today, such as poverty, possibility of nuclear war, drug abuse, and others, one might think the disappearance of the traditional family is a less than monumental problem,” thesenior started her essay. However, McWhorter presented the case that the decline and fall of the “American Way” as caused by the rise of television, drugs and the “me-first” era ■ starts a cycle of new generations of families “who are doomed to failure, and the cycle repeats itself yet again.” Placing in this mixed prose category were Donna Funk for “The Impossibility of the Impossible” in second, Ophelia Von Ludwig for “Trump” in third and honorable mention to Scott Reid for his literary criticism “Balzac’s ‘Passion in the Desert.’ ” A tie for first place in the poetry division was shared by Donna Funk for “Cassandra” and Ophelia Von Ludwig for “Wretched.” Second place went to Gaston de Bearn for “Suburban Revelations” third to Chris Ralph for “Empty Is” and fourth to Billy Armstrong for “They Heard Me.” Receiving honorable mentions were Laurel Gray (“Waves”), Joel Clark (“Mountain Goat”), Geoffrey Glouser (“Dear America”) and Loren Sciurba (“Words Tilt.”) Budding artist Robert Burke published no fewer :han 15 of his drawings, including the first place art winner “Forest Serene.” The cover illustration “Point Blank” by Andy Gagnon took second place. Ron Lewsader’s “Self-Portrait” took third and Loren Sciurba’s “Nude” fourth. Honorable mentions were awarded Andrew Joseph for “Loneliness”, Andy Gagnon for “Evolution”, Robert Burke for “Seeker” and Ron Steam for “Incubus.” The “Talisman” staff for the 1983 edition included editor Rebecca McWhorter, prose editors Frans Hansen and Stephanie Zoebelein, poetry editors Gaston de Bearn and Ophelia Von Ludwig, lower school editors Kinglsey Hellems and Daphrie Laimbeer, art editors Robert Burke and Ron Lewsager, layout editors Joel ClarK and Andy Gagnon, business manager Brett Haynes and typists Holly Hanes, Kingsley Hellems, Rebecca McWhorter, Rod Early, Lisa Yowell, and Stephanie Zoebelein. Faculty advisor Freeman Allan was assisted by art advisor Helen Ruisi. The 1983 edition was dedicated to the memory of Dr. Barbara Myatt, first librarian of Wakefield School. “Talisman” previously won a superior citation in a competition sponsored by the Southeast Interscholastic Press Association. According to Headmaster William Lynn, the high standards of the literary magazine have become a cherished Wakefield tradition. [SAVE DISCOUNT COUPON USERS! DON’T THROW MONEY AWAY!

RCHS Presents Shakespeare Curtain To Rise On Classic One of the world’s alltime most popular plays will be performed for only two days at RCHS on November 11 and 12. The RCHS Players are tackling Shakespeare—for the first time ever on the local stage. The bard’s classic comedy “A Midsummer Night’s Drama”, directed by Don Bomberger will have a special two night stand. “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is the tale of the misadventures of four Athenian lovers meeting in the woods at night and the chase that follows when Puck, a devilish spirit, lends a hand. Complicating events in the woods are the quarrelling king and queen of the fairies (played by Bob Baines and Ann Oliver) and a group of workmen rehearsing a play for the wedding of the Duke of Athens. Utter confusion is the hilarious result. The four lovers are played by Vincent Caporuscio, Brian Barnes, Tammy Joliffe and Debbie Helmer. The part of Puck, made famous in the movies by Mickey Rooney, is played by Peggy Stephenson. Others in the cast are (in order of appearance): Manfred Call, Ginnie Hickman, Greg Smith, Jimmy Settle, Jim McCullough, Jon McCullough, Craig Kenyon, Thomas Sisk, Denise Shorb, Tammy Dodson, Dawn Watson, Marie Davis and Cheryl Atchison. The play is presented by the senior class of 1983.

In General District Court on October 25 Game Warden Lee Haupt produced the bags of confiscated ginseng which he testified were taken from Dennis Cave of Wolftown and Leonard William Cave of Madison. Haupt said he saw the two leaving Brady’s property with the bags in their hands. This was proof enough to the judge although the Caves' lawyer aruged that no one had seen the ginseng dug and that it actually came from Madison. Others cases heard from the criminal docket that day included: Everett Temple Greenstreet, Jr., Bethesda, Md., trespass to hunt, complied with law.

I was amazed at how much money we made.” Safety Enforcement Hank Gerhart, engineer from Buchardt-Horne, the firm that designed Sperryville’s proposed sewer, presented the WSA members with a contract earlier in the meeting for the engineering company to serve as project inspectors. Questioned closely by Gore, Gerhart maintained that as project inspectors, Buchardt-Home’s representatives won’t have authority to force contractors to meet state and OSHA safety regulations. “What are we paying you the price for inspection for then?” asked Gore. “You’re paying us to see that plans and specifications are met, that quantities (of materials used in construction) are tabulated. . . But we cannot be an insurer of safety. Yes, I know that the Highway Department and the Corps of Engineers can but I can’t. . . All I can do is file a complaint with OSHA.” If a contractor, for example, fails to close up a ditch over the weekend in violation of Highway Department or OSHA safety regulations, “you can’t shut that contractor down until he does it?” Gore questioned. “No sir.” “I think you’re wrong,” Gore countered. “You tell me when your next meeting is and I’ll have our insurance expert here to explain why,” the engineer replied. “But if the safety regulations are included in the contract and you oversee that contract (to ensure its provisions are met), why can’t you?” Gore repeated. Gerhart noted that the George D. Scheulen, cpa AND William T. Patchett, Jr., CPA TAKE PLEASURE IN ANNOUNCING THE FORMATION OF THE FIRM OF Scheulen 8t Patchett CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS ■a. 19 Winchester Street Warrenton, Virginia 347-5144 Department of Labor holds total authority for enforcement of OSH A reflations. “If you don’t shut that contractor down (for failure to comply with stipulated safety regulations) and something happens, who does it fall back on?” Gore asked. “Not the Water and Sewer Authority — the contractor,” the engineer answered. “The contractor is the employer and as such, has the ultimate responsibility for the safety of his employees.” If a tourist or a passer-by in Sperryville is injured, who then bears responsibility, inquired Johnson. “Ultimately, I believe the courts would have to decide that,” the engineer said. If a contractor fails to close a ditch — in violation of safety regulations — “we can tell him it’s not safe. We can tell him we want it closed up but we can’t force him to do it,” Gerhart said, adding that BuchardtHorne’s inspectors on the job would, of course, document all such warnings. He repeated, however, that his firm can’t insure compliance with safety regulations. “We work and report to you folks,” he told the WSA members. “We have no contractual relationship with the contractor at all.” So if the contractor doesn’t meet safety standards, “you report it to us and we file a complaint with OSH A?” Dennis asked. “I’m not sure you can even legitimately file a complaint,” Gerhart replied. “Only very specific people can. . . and I KNOW that the inspector on the job can’t.” The engineering firm’s inspector has no power (regarding compliance with safety standards) over the contractor “except to recommend that you don’t pay him” Gerhart reported. “After someone gets killed, you’re going to recommend that we don’t pay him? Can’t you stop him when he tries to start work the next day (if a ditch is left open or another safety regulation has been ignored)?” Gore demanded. “If the contractor refuses to meet safety regulations, we can file an exception report. Until it’s cleared up to our satisfaction — and that means an engineer signing off on it — the work is not recommended for payment. It doesn’t do exactly what you want it to do but it’s the biggest and toughest leverage we have with a contractor,” Gerhart explained. He proposed that Buchardt-Horne’s attorney suggest legal language to be included in the inspection contract to minimize the Water and Sewer Authority’s liability exposure in instances where an accident may occure if safety standards aren’t met. “Then you can have your attorney review it and see if it’s satisfactory.” A motion to that effect from Donald Gore passed unanimously. No Attorney “When are you going to get an attorney?” asked Gerhart. In hiring legal counsel, Virginia’s new public procurement law has to be followed, Johnson noted. Planning district rep Gary A.

Rodgers said recently of his Flint Hill co-champion pear tree. “The drought hurt it and I need to fertilize it,” he added. The tree had undergone a tough summer, but it had gone through about 100 others and now it was dropping its leaves to take another winter’s nap. It didn’t seem too concerned about the drought. It did look plenty big though — even without its leavgs. Flint Hill’s co-champion pear tree (pyrus communis) is listed in the Virginia Forestry Association’s “social register of big trees” — second only in size to the Talleysville pear tree which stands 51 feet tall. The Rappahannock tree is 48 feet tall. Dr. Rodgers says forestry officials measured the tree a few years back to be sure of its championship stature. It has a “crown spread” of 48 feet — the Talleysville tree’s crown spread is 30 feet. And its circumference at a point 4V-i No-Till Small Grains By BIRGITT THORNHILL Extension Agent. Agriculture Approximately 800,000 acres of small grains are seeded in Virginia each year with over 500,000 acres harvested. Seedbed preparation for planting varies from moldboard plowing and disking for most of the acreage to just disking on some acreage. No-tillage planting of small grains is a relatively new practice, but it can be and has been successful in many situations. No better way is knowm to plant small grains at the appropriate depth with good seed-soil contact than with a properly adjusted no-till drill planting on a level soil. Several brands of no-till drills do an excellent job. Drill row spacings of 6-8 inches are superior for small grains than drills with 10-12 inch spacings. Yields will likely be higher and weeds easier to control when no-till small grain is planted in narrow rows. When planting in corn, it is better to plant directly into the stubble rather than chop the stalks. Research by Dr. Scott Hagood, Extension Weed Specialist at Virginia Tech, and others has shown that paraquat at planting is important on most fields even though weeds may be very small when the small grain is planted. It is also important in no-tillage and conventional fields to determine what weeds are present in the fall. Most 1 small grain diseases should not be drastically affected by no-tillage. Insect pests are the same for no-tillage and conventional wheat, producers should scout for aphids in both the fall and spring and treat if populations reaches 20 or more aphids per row foot. Seeding rates should be similar in no-tillage and conventional seeding with about 15 seeds per drill row foot when planting early (about l'/L' bu-acre of wheat and 2 bu/acre of barley). Fall fertilization with complete fertilizer is important in both conventional and no-till small grains. No-tillage small grain acreage will likely increase in Virginia as more information and improved herbicides become available.

Rodgers says he and his family have come up with various larger “waistline” measurements on the tree, but concluded they were taking them at the wrong point on the tree. For uniformity forestry agents run a tape around the tree trunk at the consistent height of 4>/z feet above the ground and they calculate the height with a hypsometer. Crown spread is the average of the widest and narrowest spread of the branches. In declaring the state’s champion trees each year, these three measurements are added up for each nominee and the tree of each species with the greatest total number of points is declared the current champion. The Flint Hill tree will remain co-champion at least through February when the next results of the big tree search will be compiled. The big tree search has been going on in Virginia since 1970 when the forestry association and VPI extension service began co-sponsoring it to teach 4-H and FFA members about the various species of trees in the state. The purpose is to find out how big they grow — just for the fun of it. 0 Virginia has 14 national champion trees — the nearest are the 86 foot tall pumpkin ash and 23 foot Biltmore Hawthorn in Warrenton. The big tree search is a constantly ongoing quest with nomination forms and full details on measuring available from the Virginia Forestry Association (1 North Fifth St., Richmond, 23219). Rodgers says the big pear tree was there when he and his wife moved to “Clifton” 15 years ago. Clifton, which he says was established in 1675, is one of several “sister houses” built in the mid-to-late 18th century. It was previously featured on the annual house tour. But if the house has been there for at least 200 years, Rodgers guesses the tree has been there for only about 100. “There’s another pear tree in the pasture almost as big and a chestnut as old,” he says adding that he didn’t particularly notice the now-famous pear tree until he read in the Rappahannock News that some old landmark trees were being uprooted during reconstruction on Route 211. Rodgers didnt’ think the Amissville tree pictured in the paper was as big as his pear tree and called to say so. Soon the Flint Hill pyrus communis was photographed by the local press and was on its way towards statewide fame. Rodgers in-^ vited Rappahannock County forestry agent Lyt Wood to take official measurements and make the pear tree’s big tree status firm. The tree has been on the list of Virginia champions ever since, challenged only by the Talleysville tree which was discovered by Martin Ludeke of Sandston. Dr. Rodgers is a former USD A animal health veterinarian now enjoying his retirement in Flint Hill by restoring Clifton and caring for big tree as well as a flock of “watch-swans” and a stray cat named Tommy. Latest Harvest Figures Released Park Closes Parts Of Drive Portions of Skyline Drive will be closed to vehicles for certain night hours during the upcoming hunting season. Shenandoah National Park Superintendent Robert Jacobsen is taking this action due to the illegal hunting pressure which occurs along the Drive during hunting seasons. From November 7 through January 5, the Skyline Drive between Front Royal and Thornton Gap, and between Swift Run Gap and Rockfish Gap, will be dosed daily between dusk and 8 a.m. The section ol tne Drive between Thornton Gap and Swift Run Gap will remain open 24 hours per day, weather permitting. Jacobsen said, “By closing portions of the Drive, rangers will be able to concentrate patrols on problem areas and increase hunter contacts along the Park boundary. This year rangers from Richmond and Petersburg National Battlefields will be temporarily assigned to hunting patrols in the Park. These additional rangers will allow us to cover more territory and respond more quickly to tips ’ and complaints.” Jacobsen asked citizens to call Park Headquarters (703/999-2227), collect, immediately, if they observe any illegal hunting activities along the Park boundary. ” Marketing agent Rosser Cobb at the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services says the projected size of the state’s corn and soybean crops has continued to shrink. According to revised figures released on October 18, the state’s total corn crop this year is projected at 16.875.000 bushels with an average yield of 45 bushels per acre. The soybean crop is expected to total 9.760.000 bushels at just 16 bushels per acre. Harvesting of corn was nearly 70 percent complete at mid-month, ahead of last year when 61 percent was harvested by mid-October. Nationwide the corn and soybean harvests were 55 percent completed and the USD A had reduced its estimate of the totals expected. Corn production was now forecast at approximately 4.3 billion bushels, down three percent from the September estimate. Soybeans were projected at approximately 1.5 billion bushels, down one percent from September. Carryover stocks for next year are also expected to be smaller than previously thought for corn and soybeans as well. Corn stocks were now projected at 819 million bushels, down from 900 million, and soybeans at 120 million, down from 150. State agricultural officials expected prices for both products to drift lower over the near term as harvest pressure increased along with the uncertainty of the potential for PIK marketing. PIK entitlements were released to producers in Virginia and the midwest on October 15. Farmers have until March 14 to receive the grain or sell the entitlement without incurring any storage charge. Those who transport the grain to their farms may be eligible for freight assistance. They should contact the Rappahannock ASCS office before applying for freight assistance and also if they plan to sell their entitlements. Cash corn at mid-month was selling in the neighborhood of $3.50 per bushel, soybeans around $8.70. Contract prices offered for new wheat ranged around $3.40 and for barley at $2.15$2.30. PIK corn entitlements in the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula sold at $3.65$3.73 per bushel. No 2 yellow corn in the Shenandoah Valley was selling at approximatey $4 per bushel.

Rappahannock Conservationists Receive SWCD Awards By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock New> Staff Writer W. Clifford Latham and Gordon Thornhill were the Rappahannock representatives present at last Thursday’s annual awards night banquet at Graves Mountain Lodge for the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District. Latham presented Rappahannock’s conservation award to Irving Kenyon for the Recreational Facilities Authority. Latham commended the volunteer citizens group responsible for creating and operating the recreational facility. In his presentation speech, Latham described the park as a place for tennis, basketball, football, and with picnic grounds and a fitness trail. The facility also sponsors a six kilometer footrace, The Fodderstack Classic, each April. Farmers were recognized in the other counties in the district for their soil and water conserving agricultural methods. They were Rayard and Peyton Young from Culpeper, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Winslow from Green County, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Aylor and Mr. and Mrs. Steve Aylor from Madison and the Richard C. Oliver family from Orange. Also among those appearing at the head table to receive his award was Rappahannock seventh grade student Dicky Burke who took first place in the Rappahannock division of the SWCD conservation week poster contest. “natural resources for today and tomorrow”, Burke drew two pictures showing before and after discovery of uses of solar energy for home heating. His mother said Burke has been an artist “since he was big enough to hold a pencil”; he loves to enter contests and does so regularly, but said he was surprised to win the SWCD first place honors. Young Burke wasn’t pleased about having to appear before the crowd, but he was happy about the $10 cash prize. His father, Richard Burke of Wood ville, said he was happiest about the meal at Graves Mountain Lodge Dicky’s parents received while escorting the prize winner to the ceremony. Burke, who works for the State Highway Department, said it was the first time he had ever eaten at the renowned restaurant. Featured speaker for the program, William H. McClure, was a crowd pleaser. McClure is an animal scientist and superintendent at the Shenandoah Valley Research Station at Steeles Tavern. His pioneer work in no-till forage led to some amusing moments. A Shenandoah area state senator visited to view the experimental techniques being used at Steeles Tavern and saw scientists walking in the field poking holes in the ground with poles to plant the seeds. “My God!” McClure says the senator exclaimed, “The Indians did it better in 1610!” No-till methods have gone on to be generally recognized as sound conservation techniques and McClure says his research station is now working on no-till alfalfa. More than 3,200 acres in this district were converted to no-till corn production this year. The practice is predicted to make the plow obsolete. The scientists also are working on techniques that McClure promises will soon ' >•> ■ iin—»iiiPi mum —Rappahannock News Phoio/D.

Another area of experimentation McClure likes to tell stories about is fescue stockpiling. Cattle are grazing 354 days a year at Steeles Tavern, says McClure, thanks to fescue for winter feed. But in the early days, fescue seemed strange to some of the local farmers, McClure added. When he was the first to plant Kentucky 31 fescue stockpile, some charitable neighbors brought him a load of hay. They had seen the cattle out grazing in the winter on the thin fescue plants and thought they were being starved to death! McClure helps maintain the museum at Steeles Tavern which attracts 15,00018,000 visitors each year. Displays show historic agricultural methods as well as experimental conservation techniques being perfected at the research station. McClure tipped his hat to the district conservation winners, saying, “Gee, thanks! You don’t get paid much but you do a wonderful job in water and soil conservation.” Snake Story Tellers Asked To Library Probably a majority of the adult residents of Rappahannock County have a snake story which they’d enjoy sharing with a specialist in the field. William H. Martin is that specialist and he’s looking forward to hearing those tales and discussing them with the tellers on Thursday, November 10, at 7:30 p.m. when the Rappahannock County Library presents a special program on the life and habits of the timber rattler. Rather than provide data about his personal experiences in herpotology, Martin preferred to describe the behavior of his favorite snakes when interviewed recently. According to the expert, the timber rattler is usually 3-3‘/z feet long and has a life span of 20 to 30 years. Man is the timber rattler’s sole predator and a formidable foe he has proved to be since the mean age of this snake species only reaches six years. Timber rattlers live in communal dens, rarely travel further than two miles and usually hibernate from October until April. These reptiles are not very productive; they do not breed until they are six or seven years old and then do so only at two, three or four year intervals. A litter includes about eight snakes and from birth in September until October hibernation, the little ones remain in the care of their mother. While the venom of these creatures is not necessarily deadly, Martin readily acknowledges that it is best not to be bitten. Since the snake’s habitat tends to be in rocky, wooded areas at high elevation, the rattler is not often encountered in the normal course of events and his pursuit in search of knowledge on the snake’s behavior can be a strenuous task.

In our story about “Small potatoes” in the October b Rappahannock Kitchen, we inadvertently forgot to tell you to add a couple of cups of mashed potatoes to your Irish potato pancakes.

Plant Hardy Bulbs For Summer Blooms Lilies are one of the more spectacular summer flower bulbs and with today’s hybrids. they are as easy to grow as most other garden perennials. Planting Time: Fall is best. Prepare your soil now so it will be ready when your bulbs arrive. Bulbs should Ik* planted immediately as they generally do not store at all well. Make sure the bulbs have not dried out in shipment or while in the nursery shelves. Remove badly bruised scales and dried roots and dust with fungicide before planting. Do not remove healthy roots but carefully spread out and cover with soil when planting. Site Selections: No lily prospers without some sun. However, some will grow in partial shade provided by light changing shadows of deciduous trees. The shade of buildings or evergreens will usually be too much. Many of the pink, red, and orange varieties keep thencolors better if they receive a little protection from the mid-day sun. A key to success with lilies is a site with good drainage. Water should never stand around their roots. Good ventilation is another important considerat ion when choosing a site - where air can move freely around lilies, but not where wind damage may occur. Soil Preparation: Lilies will give a magnificent dis play for many years in properly prepared soil. Dig and loosen the soil a foot deep to make sure there is no compaction. Add compost or other organic material to enrich the soil and improve drainage. If a new area is to be planted, work the entire space, not just the holes for the bulbs. This will eliminate many of the weed problems and make later planting of annuals and perennials easier. (General Care: Most lily bulbs are hardy but w ill benefit from a winter mulch to keep the soil temperature uniformly low. After the ground freezes, spread three to four inches of leaves or straw and take up again in early spring. A light summer mulch to keep roots cool and moist is helpful on some types of li lies. Lilies will need to be watered regularly from the time shoots emerge until stems and leaves lose green color in fall. Remove spent flowers, leaving stems and leaves intact. If you use li lies in flower arrangements, do not cut longer stems than you need. Severe cutting can cause loss of plant. Fertilizing: The addition of a small amount of bone meal in the spring when shoots appear and again in the fall after' bloom has passed will be helpful. Well aged cow manure can also be used in small amounts in the fall but never use fresh manure and never allow it to touch leaves or stems. Transplanting: Never move lilies unless von have to and reset them immediately. The only reason to lift the bulbs is to space them further apart if they become crowded because of natural increases. This should be done in the fall after leaves begin to yellow.

Guest Sees No Need For New State Taxes By DAPHNE HI T( HINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer “The major issue in the 1984 Virginia General Assembly? Obviously, the budget is the top one," Del. Raymond R. “Andy” Guest said in a telephone interview this week. The Front Royal farmer and businessman, a 12-vear veteran of the General Assembly, is running unopposed in next Tuesday’s election for the seat from the 21st legislative district which includes Rappahannock County. “With the improving economic picture, 1 don’t foresee a need for any new taxes,” said Guest. Neither does he expect any further reductions in appropriations for social service programs. “With the economy picking up and continuing to expand, the money will be coming in at higher levels than appropriations’ projections." he predicted. "Right now, I don’t expect any further cuts (in state programs)." He would like to see reductions already ordered by Gov. Charles Robb absorbed by the beaurocratic structure. “As an example, when the Health Department had its budget'cut by \V> percent — what the governor recently instituted — the Health Department had the choice of cutting its headquarters' beauroeracy or services to constituents. “Too often, state agencies chose to cut services because that creates a howl from the public and brings political pressure for the cuts to be rescinded,” Guest explained. He maintained that members of the General Assembly can and should work to see budget reductions absorbed in “headquarters' beaurocracy” by controlling line items in the state budget. Teachers Pay After the budget and taxes, Guest sees increased pay for teachers as a major issue in the 19X4 General As (General District Court Court Collects Costs Circuit court judge John Alexander spoke with several youthful offenders in the October 11 session of general district court on the importance of paying court fines and costs. “Not paying your car payments won’t end you up in jail.” Alexander told Rory Sinclair Williams when Williams said he could not afford both court fines and ear payments. Alexander suspended the fine and told Williams to pay the costs or come back to court on the lbth to tell why. “The court doesn’t conduct business over the telephone." Alexander told Michael Todd Brown amj Toby Erwin Schreinder after he asked each why a previous court date was missed and each said he had telephoned to say he couldn’t make it to town. Each had been brought to court this time with a capias and fines owed of $200. Both cases were postponed until November 1. Other cases on the docket that day included: Charlotte Barbour Freeman. Washington, speeding 67/55, reduced to defective equipment, $15/$20. Steve Blane Mallory, Culpeper, failure to display sticker, $15/$20. John B. Singleton, Amissville, no operator’s license in possession, complied with law. David Clanagan, Washington, reckless driving, destroy personal property, dismissed, accord and satisfaction. October 18 “I'd miss my nice trip to Rappahannock on Tuesday if all the dockets were this short,” remarked district court judge John Alexander following the brief October IS session. Cases heard in the session that lasted approximately ten minutes included: Earl L. Jenkins, sell personal property, nolle prosse. Alice M. Jenkins, fail to pay state tax (four counts), $100 fine suspended each count, $35 court costs each count. Granville Gordon Hudson, DIP, $10/$20. Gary Lee Bright, show cause rule non-payment fine/costs, rule dismissed, substantial payment made. sembly. “I know that’s a high priority of his excellency’s (Robb’s) and I’d like to see more money for teachers, but if the money is distributed (to localities) through the basic school aid formula, some areas will get a higher percentage than others. “The last time this came up, I argued on the House floor that 10 percent for teachers’ pay was not going to equal 10 percent when the funds were allocated and in my district (where high property values affect the basic aid formula to the detriment of the local school divisions), that was true.” To remove that inequity, Guest called for revenue for increased teacher pay to be distributed on the basis of school age population. “That would bring us closer to an equal percentage for everyone,” he maintained. “And there are other ways. For instance, the money can be tied to the number of teaching positions mandated by the Standards of Quality in each school division but that’s basically the same thing as doing it on a per student basis.” Addressing another education issue, Guest described merit pay as a laudable goal. “I would like very much to examine various ways to approach that goal. I don’t have an ‘Andy Guest’ plan but I know there are proposals floating around out there and I’d like to review them.” Roads As to Highway Department complaints that budget reductions have brought reductions in force that will ultimately cost taxpayers more through expensive outside contracting for maintenance and snow removal, Guest maintained “the Highway Department will say that, but I don’t necessarily buy it.” He expressed belief in the “free enterprise system,” pointing out that district offices already contract with outside crews for emergency snow removal with no increase in cost or decrease' in efficiency. “But I still pre □EJ COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA SAMPLE BALLOT County of Rappahannock GENERAL ELECTION Tuesday, November 8, 1983 Clerk off Court (Vote for not more than one) L.

DAVID KONICK FOR COMMONWEALTH ATTORNEY fer reduction of forces (in the Highway Department) through attrition rather than axing,” the delegate added. He discounted any need for additional highway revenue, at least in the coming year. “We haven’t seen the full effect yet of the extra federal money (the state has received). I’ve seen increased maintenance and increased construcion. . . Let’s absorb this shock (the recent gas tax hike) to the system before we go raiding again.” Slurry Pipeline Noting that he has received piles and piles of material on the proposed coal slurry pipeline, Guest joked that he’d already made up his mind and didn’t want to be confused by the facts. “I’m opposed,” he stated, adding in a more serious vein that he still intends to closely examine the arguments on both sides of the issue. “But it takes a ton of water to move a ton of coal and any way you look at it, that’s inter-basin transfer. I do not want to set that precedent. Now if the transfer issue can be separated from the slurry pipeline, if the water could be pumped back to the source in a continual loop and then reused. . . Still, this is the same fine management team that brought us North Anna and Surry I and II. “They would be the same ones running the pipe line and I have problems with that.” On the question of uranimum mining, Guest said he didn’t know if legislation could be restrictive enough to apply only to Pittsylvania County (which is asking for such legislation) and not to the rest of the state. An attempt could be made to tie uranium mining approvals to geological structure, such as the absence of limestone, in order to protect groundwater supplies, he said. “And there’s limestone everywhere in my district. . . Even if the legislation (allowing uranium mining) could be drawn so narrowly that it would only apply to Pittsylvania, it would be a cop-out. We really need to know if its safe for ALL Virginians, not just safe for us because it’s happening somewhere else.” Land Use In a recent Fauquier forum, candidates for the board of supervisors voiced support for tightening controls on enabling legislation for land use taxation, a preferential assessment program that allows horticultural, agricultural, forestal and open space land to be assessed at its use value rather than fair market worth for development purposes. Guest agreed that the rollback period should be extended to 10 years and that the interest rate on rollback taxes should be raised above the current 5 percent level.

The rollback period is now five years and the tax plus 5 percent interest falls due when land is withdrawn from the preferential assessment program.) Guest noted that he has been asked by Rappahannock’s supervisors to seek legislation which would increase the State Corporation Commission’s review authority over new and upgraded powerlines. Currently, the SCC has review authority over lines 200 kilovolts and above. The legislation which will be introduced by Guest on behalf of the Rappahannock board would lower that kilovolt limit. “I don’t know what our chances for success will be, we’ll just have to have a go at it.” the delegate said. “We’re going to have to include a stipulation that it won’t affect pending litigation so it won’t meddle with the case currently before the Supreme Court. Without that stipulation, we wouldn’t have a prayer.” (The case now under appeal to the Virginia Supreme Court involves Rappahannock landowners Bill and Susan Cameron who challenged Potomac Edison Power Company’s right to upgrade an existing 34.5 kilovolt line to 138 kilovolts relying on a 1928 right-of-way agreement.) In conclusion, Guest, who sits on committees for Agriculture, Finance, Conservation and Natural Resources and Roads and Internal Navigation, stressed that he has built up seniority and influence and earned the trust of his fellow legislators during his 12 years in Richmond. He also emphasized his commitment to constitutent services. “During the General Assembly session, I can be reached at 804-786-7395 in Richmond. And my office in Front Royal remains open all year.” He urged groups interested in tours of the State Capitol during the session to contact him on arrangements. “If there’s legislation that local government, citizens and organizations are concerned with the sooner they get to me, the better,” Guest added.
