He was speaking before an executive committee of insurance company legislative representatives—and “everyone in the room broke down and cried.” “The city of New York came to a standstill,” he said. AYid so Herndon returned to his Washington office. From his window overlooking the White House lawn, he had a view of the events surrounding state funeral that weekend which was afforded to few Americans. “Of all,” he remembers, “the most awesome and impressive display of dignified grief was when the cortege went to St. Matthew’s preceeded by a mass of world leaders.” The Cabinet, the Congressional leadership, the White House staff, and the president’s personal friends and famous family gathered at the White House to join the most powerful leaders of me time—Charles De Gaulle, Haile Selassie, King Baudouin, Queen Frederika, Ludwig Erhard, Chung Hee Park, Diosdado Maeapagal, Eamon de Valera, Lubke, Inonu, Prince Philip—everyone in the world except Nikita Khrushchev and Mao Tse-tung (and Khrushchev had sent a deputy)—all the ambassadors, all the body guards—all walking along 17th Street followed by the mourning public. By Monday morning 250,000 had filed past the casket lying in state at the Rotunda. Now they crowded the streets of the city, startling in their silence. Maurice Herndon watched it all from his window at the comer of Pennsylvania Avenue and 13th Street. It was only one of many great moments he watched from that window. Because of that location he says “I was sort of privy to the events. I saw the presidents coming and going. It made it seem so much more real.” His job in those days was “to carry the story and meaning ol Washington as the legislative leader for the Independent Insurance Agents of America. When he developed the office in the late ’40s, he was the only lobbyist for 125,000 small businessmen in the insurance industry. His travels took him to every major city and every state in the union. He was often a featured convention speaker—a poster from the Fontainebleau in Miami Beach advertising his speech of June 6, 1971 now graces the wall of his “inner sanctorum” in his Rappahannock retirement home— a wall filled with citations, notices of honorary citizenships and personally autographed photos of presidents, including Kennedy. “They’re just simple and plain people,” he says of them. “People are the same everywhere and it’s unfair to put presidents on a pedestal.” In fact, Herndon believes that a cross section of fairly successful people could be substituted for the same number of Congressmen with no change in the government and that any Congressman can rise to the situation if suddenly placed in a position of great respon sibility. "The best bubbles up and happens to work out," he says optimistically. “Usually what comes out is what’s best for the country in the long run.” Herndon’s perspective of the great and near-great in Washington spans modern 20th century history. Totally familiar with life in the nation's capital, his first memory is that of a boy growing up off Sheridan Circle in what’s now known as Embassy Row. He watched the lamplighters quietly start the fires in the street lamps of an evening anti waited for them to return in the morning to extinguish the flame. There was a “gentleness" in the city in those days, he says. No one locked a door and Washington, D.C. was still a sleepy Southern town. He remembers watching a police officer on the bicycle patrol pursue a runaway carriage and ticket it for speeding through Rock Creek Parkway—at an incredible rate exceeding 15 miles per hour. Later he saw the bicycle patrol chase and catch speeding Model Ts. Those officers were his boyhood heroes. “1 was impressed with their huge leg muscles. They could peddle so fast,” he says. But Herndon was not to grow up to have huge leg muscles because of a bout with polio. In fact, he says he was lucky to survive at all. Then one day while he was so ill, he looked out the window and saw horse drawn wagons each with about 25 wooden boxes tied on. He was told they were coffins for the 1917 influenza epidemic. Herndon was nursed back to health by the three old-maid aunts who raised him. They were registered nurses and his mouth still puckers at the memory of the medicines they were constantly administering. His mother was working in Fredericksburg; his father was dead. The man of the family was a friend named Bill Simmons. “Brother Bill,” as Herndon calls him. was a member of the White House detachment of secret service under Warren (1. Harding and later became White House receptionist. He was best known as FDR's double. During times that the president's absence from the country was best kept secret for security reasons, elaborate tours were staged with Simmons touring the country from coast to coast by railroad and waving at the crowds. The profile was right—he only had to add a snap-brim hat and cigarette holders, sit in the presidential car and wave. The train never stopped. Simmons just rode all the way across the country and back smiling and displaying that cigarette holder. One of the times he took a “presidential tour" was while Roosevelt was at Yalta. By then a congressional aide, Herndon was sitting in the gallery when Roosevelt returned to Capitol Hill to give his historic Yalta ad(Continuedon Page 2) INNER SANCTORUM in which Maurice Herndon displays a cane previously owned hy Andrew Jackson.

Carl Lee Roberts, 18, formerly of Sperryville, and Michael George Mair, 20, of Front Royal, are charged with breaking and entering at the residences of Doris Gore, Victoria Jenkins and Sherry Landsman between July 9 and 21. They are also charged with breaking and entering at the Rappahan nock Farmers Cooperative on July 22. Along with the break-ins, the pair is accused of grand larceny in taking over $200 worth of goods from each of the four locations. Trial for Mair is set for December 1 at 2 p.m. with a jury and for Roberts on January 5. Judge Shore Robertson ordered the two to remain in custody. Roberts is being held in Warren County jail on charges of receiving stolen goods and Mair is currently incarcerated at White (Continued on Page 12) Early Deadline Due to the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday, the Rappahannock News will have an early deadline next week. All copy and advertising must be delivered to the News office by 5 p.m. on Monday. Indictments Expected Commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner expects Monday’s plea bargain in circuit court to lead to additional indictments for drug violations. Deborah Ann Childress pleaded guilty to an amended offense of possession of marijuana Monday afternoon. She received a 30 day jail sentence, the maximum in Virginia for first time possession, a misdemeaner. The time was suspended and she was placed on 12 months unsupervised probation with the condition that she appear in court to testify in any future proceedings brought by the commonwealth, an apparent agreement to turn state’s evidence in other drug related cases. “I would anticipate addi tional drug related indictments in the near future, at least no later than the January term of the grand jury,” said Baumgardner, indicating he may call the current grand jury back into session before that time. Childress was indicted earlier by a Rappahannock grand jury in a sealed “Jane Doe” indictment and her extradition from Maryland was pursued. The charges against Childress and the expected additional indictments are the result of a drug investigation conducted jointly by the Virginia State Police and the commonwealth’s attorney’s office. It is not related to last summer’s helicopter surveillance, an operation conducted here independently by the State Police. Community Gives Thanks Rappahannock County will mark the Thanksgiving holiday, Thursday, November 24, with a community service observed by the congregations of nine county churches. This joint celebration is an annual event. Washington Baptist will be the host church for the 10 a.m. service with congregations from Trinity Episcopal, First Baptist Church, Reynolds Memorial and F. T. Valley Baptist Church, Promise Land Baptist, Macedonia Baptist, St. Peter’s Catholic Mission and the Rappahannock Charge of the United Methodist Church participating. The combined choirs will provide music. Rev. Doug Farmer, pastor of the Reynolds Memorial and F. T. Valley Baptist Church, will deliver the Thanksgiving sermon. Nursery services will be provided. The entire Rappahannock community is invited to attend and join in giving thanks.

The three member board (which includes Parrish, Dorothy Davis and Pearl Clark) verified the poll books from each precinct against the computer printout of registered voters. According to registrar Ruth Kilby, the names of those who voted in last Tuesday’s election matched the names of those legally eligible to vote in every case. The electoral board members, the registrar and her assistant did not open the envelopes that contain the ballots, envelopes that are sealed by poll workers in each precinct after votes are counted. “Nobody touches that!” Kilby emphasized. Those envelopes will only be opened by State Board of Elections officials in the event that they suspect an irregularity after reviewing the local electoral board’s statement of results and the count of the ballots, the registrar explained. Kilby doesn’t anticipate that the envelopes from Rappahannock will be unsealed. “We found no irregularities in the election results,” she noted. According to Parrish, 2,442 people voted in the November 8 election. That comprises 7(i.4 percent of the county’s 3,190 registerred voters. Parrish reported that 530 individuals voted in Washington, 507 in Woodville, 400 in Sperryville, 451 in Amissville, 37i in Flint Hill and 123 in Chester (lap. "And all of them didn’t vote in every race that appeared on the ballot,” the electoral board treasurer pointed out. The highest total came in the contest for sheriff. According to official results, 2,433 ballots were cast for sheriff, nine fewer than the number of voters countywide. The official tabulations show John Henry Woodward with 1,124; Murtin Orfila with (525; John Walker Jenkins with 50H and Mark Wittl with\ 175. There was one write-in vote for Rufus Raines, state trooper assigned to Rappahannock County. The second highest total was in the commonwealth’s attorney’s race. Peter H. I.uke won the election with 1,5(11. David I,. Konick had K25. A single write-in vote went to F.I). Coffey for a countywide total of 2,1W7 ballots for commonwealth’s attorney. Also appearing on the same ballot with the sheriff's and commonwealth’s attorney’s candidates were candidates—all incumbents—for the other constitutional offices who were running unchallenged. For clerk, Diane Rruce won 2,012 votes. Writein votes went to Doris (lore (<»>, Rett.v Jewell (2) and Donna (lore. Tic (Ireen, Mickey Mouse, Margaret Ralph and Diane Wood (1 apiece). I ncumbent commissioner of revenue* Marie Scojfjfin had 2015 votes. Write-in candidates Hecky Burke had five votes, Beverly Atkins three votes and one each went to Marilyn Bailey and Peter Pan. The vote for treasurer h ranees Foster totaled 2. U)1, according to t he cert ified results. Mrs. Fdward Armentrout received one write-in vote and one vote went to Peter Pan, apparently from the same joker in Amissville who wrote in the name of the hoy who never yrew up in several races. (In Washington precinct, which was omitted from the election returns chart in last week’s Rappahannock News, Bruce had 152 votes, ScoKKin 422.and Foster 15h.) Supervisor Results According to official taltillations, incumbent chairman of the hoard of supervisors .J. Richard Latham won re-election hy a five vote margin, 22ti to 221, over L. <i. “Butch” Zindel. There were no write-in names for Jackson District supervisor. <( 'out inued on Paye 12) Citizens Group Cites Building Needs By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock News Staff Writer “I’m proud to be part of it,” Will Brown told the school board at its November 8 session, “I didn't think, years ago I would ever be on something like this." Brown was spokesman for the superintendent’s advisory committee responding to the presidential commission’s recommendations in the Nation at-Risk report. The committee composed of Brown, Dawn Fisher, Betty Estes, Marie Davis, Joel Daezewitz, Debra Combs, Nancy Schop pett and Mrs. Raymond Keys met twice in October during what assistant superintendent Tom Campbell characterized as “two long nights.” Campbell attended the meetings to help compile the committee’s report. “The feelings were running high,” he said, “And that’s good." Recommendations from the committee were ranked in order of those strong feelings with top priority, going to building improvements at the high school, even if a local tax increase is necessary. The president’s eommis sion called upon citizens to provide the funding needed to accomplish the rest of the report’s proposals. “Excellence costs. But in the long run mediocrity costs more,” quoted the local report. The Rappahannock recommendation was to specifically earmark local tax revenue for educational improvement, starting with making “every effort to improve the present facilities at Rappahannock County High School.” The purpose of the advisory committee was “to formulate a unified response to the (president’s) report in relation to the Rappahannock County schools.” They did not shirk their responsibilities during their two work sessions, but presented six more recommendations to the school board in order of their agreement on each item’s importance. Curriculum Next after building improvements came the emphasis on what has become known as “basic academic competencies.” The Nation at Risk report suggests that the content of the curriculum should be specifically designed to provide a sound base in such areas as Ian guage, writing, math, logic and science. And in turn the local committee says curriculum throughout grades K 12 should include these basicskills “addressed with appropriate provisions for individual differences.” The committee lists the competencies as “reading, writing, problem-solving and communication skills.” The third recommendation deals with a “new basic”* the study of computer science. Said the committee, “Immediate attention should he directed toward the inclusion of computer science in the school curriculum, elementary and high school." (Towards that end the high school Boosters t'luh is raising money this year to contribute computer and software equipment to the high school math department, t In “A Nation at Risk”, the teaching of computer science is mentioned as a way to equip students to understand the computer as an information, computation and communication device; to use computers in their other (Continued on Page 12) Firm Operating RCES Sewage Treatment Admits Falsifying Data By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Environmental Systems Services Ltd., the Culpeper sewage treatment company that operates the plant at Rappahannock County Elementary School, pleaded guilty Monday to federal charges that it had falsified data for testing results at seven facilities it runs. W. Robert Jobson, ESS president, entered the company’s plea in U.S. District Court in Alexandria on two counts of submitting inaccurate reports to state and federal agencies. The local elementary school’s lagoon treatment system was one of the seven plants involved in the charges against the Culpeper company. The other facilities are located at Madison County’s high school, elementary school and primary school; Quarles Truck Stop at Opal in Fauquier County: the Southwood Mobile Home Estates in Char lottesville and the town of Strasburg. Contacted by telephone on Tuesday, Gary' Moore of the State Water Control Board's northern regional office in Alexandria said that the falsification of reports started in 1979 and continued through 1981. “Two of our people responsible for the inspection of sewage treatment plants noted discrepancies between the information in log books kept at the plants and what was reported to us on a monthly basis. So we started looking a little more closely.” Moore said that SWCB personnel uncovered “numerous instances of violations” in which reports to the SWCB showed that the plants were operating within limits of j>ermits granted under the Clean Water Act of 1977 when, in fact, excessive amounts of pollutants were being discharged in violation of the permits. However, Moore emphasized that none of the plants for which reports were falsified “really posed any water quality hazards.” In no cases was raw sewage discharged into waterways, he noted. The effluent “was always treated to the degree the plants were capable of treating it,” Moore said. For the most part, the falsified records involved PH levels, chlorine residual, dissolved oxygen and other areas covered by field tests, he said. Moore noted that, by law, sewage treatment plant operators are required to report all test results. The Culpeper company was “picking and choosing, reporting the ones that came within the limits of the discharge permits.” environmental Systems Services, which operates about 40 sewage treatment plants from southern Pennsylvania to southern Vir(Continued on Page 12)

Herndon Remembers Presidents (Continued from Page 1) dress. The president was obviously failing, Herndon remembers. He was all right reading the prepared portions of the speech, but slurred when he went extemporaneous. The president’s family was sitting in the next gallery, Herndon says and he glanced at them when Roosevelt's speech became garbled; Eleanor shook her head sadly. No one was surprised when Roosevelt died shortly afterwards. But^ in comparing the times of national mourning, Herndon says Roosevelt's funeral was the most “heart-rending.” The people “felt closer to him, particularly the little people, so that it was like losing a member of the family." Herndon first saw FDR at the Washington National Cathedral the day after his first inauguration in litdd. “I opened the door for him,” Herndon remembers, “and met what is most undoubtedly one of the most magnetic and awesome personalities of this century. There is no way to describe the magnetism. He w’as a dynamic administrator. He exuded confidence. He was the prime example of the right man at the right place at the right time. The only man who came close to his magnetism was Winston Churchill. There was something electric in the atmosphere when Roosevelt spoke. Your confidence immediately soared from this force." Because of his own fight against polio, Herndon says he was “so awed to see a man completely crippled by polio to become president. He was completely supported by a cradle of cruel iron braces; he used to joke and say if anyone wants to be president, he should spend at least a year in bed.” Herndon remembers the confidence with which Roosevelt closed the banks on inaugural day in order to stop the panic of the depression. Men in high silk hats who had come to attend the festivities with no money in their pockets were now out thumbing rides home because they couldn’t take the taxi-fare from their substantial bank accounts. “That was when you could see the innate sense of humor in this country. There was still good humor and good will over the situation.” The people responded well to the 100 days that changed government and turned around the economy.

People started locking doors.” The “gentleness” would be missing from then on. On December 7, 1941, the day after war was declared, the government commandeered every carjK-nter in the city to build mock-up guns from six inch by 12 foot long logs to resemble weaponry mounted on the top of every federal building. An escape passage was built from the bowels of the White House to secret away the president in case of attack.

During the war Herndon spent a stint as a radio newscaster for WLPN in Norfolk reporting the “Week’s News in Review” from Washington. His career as a journalist also included the position of sports editor and assistant city news editor for the Suffolk News Herald. Then when he came to Capitol Hill as a congressional aide it was for the imaging general editor of the Northern Virginia Pilot, Congressman Winder Harris. He stayed to serve Harris’ successor, Ralph Daughton, Norfolk attorney and the former southern regional director of the FBI. Daughton was defeated in his bid for re-election because of his conservative stand on medicare and Herndon’s career was at a cross-roads. Senator Bird approached him about running for the seat and offered to finance the campaign. House speaker Sam Rayburn talked with him about joining the staff for a new congressman from Massachusetts, a man named Kennedy. Chose Insurance Lobbying But Herndon decided to take the job downtown and turned his efforts to lobbying for the insurance industry. His log of speeches starts on March 12, 1947, at Aurora, Illinois and covers the country. He traveled V> million miles on one airline alone—he traveled for 30 years.

It is presented each year to the state association which excels in all categories of federal affairs and gives the most outstanding service in legislative matters. The name of the winner is added to a plaque which hangs in Washington at the Independent Insurance Agents, the office from which Herndon viewed so much history. "It was a glory ride for me,” he says, “but it was so hard while Jane raised our sons. It was rough for her.” Herndon married the former school teacher at Washington National Cathedral on August 3, 1935. Their two sons, Gordon and Beale, are Alexandria businessmen. Roots In Rappahannock Jane “earned her carpenter’s apron” while they spent 11 years building the weekend house which has grown over the years into their present home. They did all the work themselves with a little help from neighbors during a “barn-raising”. When it came time to retire, they chose Rappahannock over New Hampshire, British Columbia and other favorite vacation spots “because it suddenly dawned on me that all our people are from here,—the Greens of Culpeper, the Gordons...” Their home, Greenock, is named after the original Greenock which burned long ago in Culpeper—the home of Jefferson’s contemporary Jones Green. Throughout their home are various relics showing a continued line of family connections to past presidents and others high in the public eye. Herndon has one of Andy Jackson’s notorious black thorn walking sticks and the eagle from the flagpole which preceeded Teddy Roosevelt and the Roughriders during their charge up San Juan Hill. He isn’t sure how the family obtained some of these items; they’ve just always been around. “I grew up with them.” Lincoln’s Law Partner Contact with presidents runs in the family. His great-great-great uncle William Herndon was Abraham Lincoln’s law partner and was the first Lincoln biographer. His copious letters and detailed, daily journals have been the prime source for every other biographer since. An ever-so-great aunt, Ellen Lewis Herndon, born in Culpeper, was married to Chester A. Arthur but died of pneumonia just a year before he was sworn in as vice president. After Garfield was assassinated, President Arthur always left an empty place at state events where his first lady would have presided, placed fresh flowers daily near her silverframed portrait and pre sented a memorial window to her honor to Saint John’s Episcopal Church where she had sung in the choir. She was renowned for her beautiful contralto voice. This last tribute particularly delights Rappahannock’s Herndon who sings a strong tenor regularly in the choir at Trinity Episcopal in Washington, Virginia, and previously sang in the choir at Epiphany on G Street in D.C. He believes that the town of Herndon, Virginia, was named after a statue of this first lady’s father William Lewis Herndon, a naval captain who went down with his ship off Cape Hatte/as during a storm in 1857. His statue at Annapolis is notorious in its own right—the “plebes” must climb to the top of the Herndon statue in order to earn favor with their peers in a sort of modern rite of passage. Maurice Herndon heard that the city in Northern Virginia was named after this statue when a persuasive navy captain argued before the founding fathers for honoring his alma mater. Answers In Paragraphs Herndon’s experience as a public speaker holds him in good stead—he loves to discuss these matters. Anyone who knows him locally could recognize him from a description which appeared in a 1970 issue of Best’s Review, a trade journal for insurance agents. “He is articulate in the extreme, garrulous even by his own admission, knowledgeable, enthusiastic,” wrote an associate editor. “When responding to a question, he answers not in words or sentences but in paragraphs, each argument or proposition or position burnished to a high state of brightness by countless hours of exposition. He radiates charm but behind it is a mind that documents every answer, never loses its place, and seeks continually to inform and persuade. Maurice Herndon lobbies everybody—.” No wonder then that he answered in whole paragraphs when asked to identify his favorite president. He remembers visiting Woodrow Wilson’s home on S Street the day of his death. As a child he lived just two blocks from the former president. The aunts had sent him with a daily bouquet of flowers for former first lady Edith Galt Wilson until on the last day she gave him a big kiss and then wrote him a thank-you letter in which she called him “Dear little boy.” In those days he and his friends were always welcome at the White House where they went to see “Brother Bill” Simmons of the Secret Service. (A nearby rich kid reciprocated by giving him rides to school in chauffered Pierce Arrow Rolls with gooseneck lights.) His perspective on the presidency is similar to that of the typical American family towards the neighbors down the street—and so his favorite president was the An Open Letter To JACKSON DISTRICT RESIDENTS We wish to thank those of you who did not register and refused to vote on November 8th, 1983. The main reason given, “my vote isn’t going to make a difference.” As you have witnessed, your vote would have made a lot of difference. When someone is willing to devote a lot of time away lrom their family and work, in order to help people who are unhappy with their local government, that person needs your support. We are sorry to see that another four years will probably pass by us, with the same problems never being resolved. Let’s hope our children of Jackson District can forgive those who wouldn’t register and vote, in order to help improve their schools and education. For these children are the real losers! In closing we would like to thank everyone who supported “Butch Zindel”, and found it worth their time and energy to be registered and to vote. We appreciate all the phone calls we have received, and the people who have expressed their regrets with the final results of the election. Many have expressed hope for the next election and offered their support in any other way they could help. We appreciate this friendship, and your faith and trust in Butch. W'e are proud to be residents of Jackson District, and to have had the support of so many residents of this fine community. Thank you very much! Janet, Luke, & Katie Zindel PAID POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT most ordinary. His conversation keeps coming back to Harry Truman who once said that he felt that the stars and the moon had hit him on the head when he became president. “Mr. T” as Herndon calls him was “a simple man of scrupulous honesty, a man of the times and of luck. He showed the human quality of being able to rise to great heights.” Icing Off The Floor Herndon remembers the time “Brother Bill’s” wife (a niece of Senator Carter Glass) baked two birthday cakes for Truman with the plan that Simmons should deliberately drop the first cake at the feet of the president. Thinking his birthday cake was spoiled, Truman got down on his hands and knees in the White House dining room and started eating the icing off the floor before he discovered he had been the victim of a practical joke. Herndon tells the story as an example of the human quality of the Trumans. “Bess and Margaret were delightful people,” he says. “Bess was everybody’s mother. Margaret was just as vivacious and attractive as she could be—a pure delight.” Herndon also liked the way Truman “used to run away from the secret service. He’d climb out windows to meet some old Capitol crony who would wait outside for him to go play poker and drink bourbon.” Herndon was also a supporter of Richard Nixon and refers to him fondly by an old congressional nick-name best left unpublished. But what bothered him about young Dick Nixon was the way he would burst through the revovling doors at the back of the Capitol building and leave them spinning. Every time Herndon would grab the door and make it stop. On his wall hangs a photo of President Nixon shaking hands with him in the Oval office. Herndon remembered the picture was snapped just as Nixon said, “Oh, yes—the door.” During all those years Johnson was the only president he didn’t know although he saw a great deal of him around The Hill. “He was a wheeling, dealing dynamic man and I have great respect for him, but I don’t know anybody that knew him unless they could do him a favor.” More poignant than the death of presidents is the assumption of power and how the country continues, Herndon believes. His first thought upon hearing of the death of Roosevelt was “Where’s Truman?” He thinks the most emotionally moving moment arising out of the events in Dallas 20 years ago was the swearing in of Lyndon Johnson in the air with Kennedy’s blood-stained widow at his side. Although he was never a particular admirer of Kennedy (he thinks Nixon could have won a recount in 1960, but didn’t demand it because it would have thrown the country into turmoil), he was as stunned as the rest of the nation’s citizens at the assassination. “For the short period of Camelot there was a youthful zest in the White House that was inspiring and beautiful. The spirit of Camelot was in the White House,” he remembers. “It was a youthful enthusiasm the likes of which I don’t think this country has ever experienced.” Potomac Fever Asked why he didn’t take the job with John Kennedy when it was offered back in 1946, Herndon says he would have either quit or been fired. “The hours in the Kennedys’ offices go ’round the clock. They expect everyone around them to marry that system. You can actually disappear for a week and your wife doesn’t know where you are. All home life is gone, people think it’s glamourous until they get trapped by Potomac Fever.” But buried away in his basement is a bit of the glamour from the new’ Frontier. For Maurice Herndon now owns John Kennedy’s inaugural stand, he has a bill of sale from Interstate Demolition Corporation of Arlington, the company hired to haul it away. From his window, Herndon saw the stand being dismantled and he asked the workmen to give it to him. The receipt lists the boards as “55 feet of used lumber from the inaugural stand (new front stand) in front of the White House.” It is dated February 17, 1961. The boards are splotched and sooted from ashes that were applied to melt the 2V> feet of snow that fell on John Kennedy’s inaugural day. Black enamel stripes separated the seating of the dignitaries. Various scuffs and scratches lead one to imagine the footsteps of John Kennedy in his black patent leather dress shoes as he rose to review the parade and silently rehearse what he would soon say, “In the long history of the past, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger...And so my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you...” Herndon started collecting inaugural stands with Truman’s 1949 ceremony; he gave them to political leaders around the country. Kennedy’s is the only one he kept. Remembering Kennedy: Harvard Class of ’40 Lee Bird remembers among other events during his undergraduate days at Harvard watching another football player named Jack Kennedy in the locker room doing a hilarious impression of the coach’s pep talk preceeding the game against Yale. Bird says his classmate then spent a term abroad traveling with his father, the ambassador to Great Britain. When he returned, several secretaries were kept busy for several days typing his honors thesis “Why England Slept”, later pulished in book form. One of the benefits of having many millions of dollars in the family (one estimate sets Joseph P. Kennedy’s fortune at $40,000,000) is being able to hire typists to do last minute homework, Bird says. After the two graduated in the class of ’40, Kennedy • went on to PT-109 fame and was elected to Congress from Boston in 1946. After the war, Bird continued his studies at Harvard Law School. He remembers Kennedy with affection and as a man of enormous wit. Classified Ads Work To The Voters Of Piedmont District; Thank you for the vote of confidence on November 8th.

View From The Audience: Dreamy Night at RCHS r By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock News Staff Writer These days Shakespeare is usually produced by wellfinanced university theater departments or professional repertory companies dedicated to the preservation of Elizabethan pageantry. The thought of performing the bard’s classics on a high school stage is a bit mindboggling. Jolliffe and Debbie Helmer were ingenuous ingenues who could also fight like vixens over the love of two young men. Vince Caporuscio was equally believable romancing each lady in turn while Brian Barnes was hilarious running away from a smitten lady he didn’t love. But the audience’s favorite parts were when Titania PUCK Plans devilment. And yet the RCHS class of ’84, under the most able direction of Don Bomberger, has succeeded in mounting a production worthy of a Stratford festival. His delicate lighting design elicited the midsummer atmosphere with the woods at night simply suggested by a scrim in front of a spotlight moon. The lines were delivered letter perfect, a result of what must have been months of memorization and rehearsal. The glorious costumes designed by Judy Bomberger and constructed by Betty Sisk from fabric donated by the Aileen plant in Flint Hill enhanced the impression that the audience had been transported into the dream world inhabited by fairies, kings and queens. It’s a pity that the play only ran two nights after so much work was put into it. The King of fairies, played by Bob Baines (who doubled as the Duke of Athens) was a deliciously malicious character. Tammy Photos Courtesy Of Sean Kilpatrick LOVERS Hermia (Tammy Jolliffe) and Lysander (Vince Caporuscio) I would like to thank all the folks in Wakefield District who supported my candidacy for supervisor with their votes.

Day realtor GRADUATED PAYMENT MORTGAGES You hear a lot of talk about the problems facing the real estate and building industry. There’s no denying it - we do have problems, just like every other business and industry. But there’s a constant, ongoing dialogue between all parties to seek ways of solving these problems. One of these problems is finding a way to make more people eligible to buy homes. The focus is especially on younger families who were recently married and are just starting out. One of the ideas being discussed is called the Graduated Payment Mortgage (GPM). Simply stated, this plan allows lower payments when a homebuyer is just starting on his career, with the presumption that later on his income will increase. Later on, when he can afford it, his payments would increase. The Graduated Payment Mortgage is, in effect, a flexible type of mortgage, as distinguished from the usual level-payment mortgage contract. The federal government has taken a definite interest in exploring the possibilities of flexible mortgages. They could be the answer to the problem of expanding the market for home ownership.

And so Oberon (Bob Baines) wonders what magic spell he can cast to fix the situation. (Ann Oliver) falls in love with Bottom (Jim McCullough) after the prankster Puck (Peggy Stephenson) has turned him into a donkey and during the play within a play when the actors perform their interlude which is a parody on romantic plays. Master of Revels Gennie Hickman presents this while the rest of the cast heckles the “actors.” The favorite was the fierce “lion” (Timmy Settle) who seems to eat the lovely “lady” (Jon McCullough) breaking the heart of “her” suitor (Jim McCullough) who “kills” himself. The love scenes between the two McCullough brothers brought the house down and the versatility of Jim, the only underclassman in the play, was impressive BOTH BEWITCHED, Bottom (Jim McCullough) brays an answer to the pledge of love from Titania, queen of the fairies (Ann Oliver). as he swept through a whole series of voices and characterizations. Others in the interlude were Greg Smith, Craig Kenyon, and Thomas Sisk—all excellent comedians. The fairies played by Tammy Dodson, Dawn Watson, Marie Davis and Cheryl Atchison were also a hit as “huntsmen with horns”. This gauzy chorus successfully accomplished a difficult theatrical task—sometimes being on stage with nothing to say. They stayed in character at all times, their reactions adding greatly to the audience’s enjoyment. mentioned. While they spent little time on stage, they developed fine characters and acted to their fullest. Bomberger succeeded beyond his goal of offering the audience a pleasant dreamlike experience during the play—he had them discussing it during the intermission (when one man was heard to say, “I like this play; it’s a nice switch.”) and even out in the parking lot afterwards (when another man was heard shouting “It was great!”). -Library Lines Come to the Rappahannock County Library and “Plot your own Horror Stories!” We now have a good selection in this popular seines for young people.

Subjects of Willard’s delightful essays include the reading and writing of fantasy; the art of storytelling; the lively art of nonsense; and magic, craft and the making of children’s books. “The Prime of Your Life, a Practical Guide to Your Mature Years” was reviewed enthusiastically in the “Voice of Experience” this fall.

Rain or Shine Washington Volunteer Fire Department TURKEYS_TURKEYS TURKEYS TURKEYS_TUI View From the Sta^e Dancer Without Honor By MICHELE MAY KnppahantHK'k \r»a Staff Writer One of Rappahannock's greatest resources is The Last Minute Wood Company. Professional dance troupes are rare in a county this size, particularly with performers of a caliber to merit invitations to participate in the major D.C. dance showcases. The competition for such invitations is frequently fierce. The fact that the reviews are often mixed is not discouraging it means simply that the city critics are finding as many good things to say about Rappahannock’s "rough hewn homespun" style as bad. And that's something coming from critics who are often quick to pan anything from the country. Sally Nash is a modern Martha Graham, who was banned in earlier days for breaking away from ballet traditions by dancing barefoot. Graham developed an entire new school of style as does Sally Nash with The Last Minute Wood Company. Her choreography evokes the back breaking work of backwoods existence along with the close human ties that can (level ope where people live far enough apart to appreciate closeness. And so it is a disappointment that she is apparently a daneef without honor in her own land. The Last Minute Wood Company opened Saturday at Rappahannock elementary school with the last show of the season, its first locally, before an audience of four children (three pre-school), three senior citizens, and 2f> young' adults most of them in flannel shirts and fatigues and some of them obviously dancers from elsewhere. The audience was placed on bleachers on the stage, a turn-around designed to give the dance company the full space of the basketball court on which to perform. This novelty gave a good perspective on the performance and was just one of several new conventions that the company experimented with. “Seen Through Moving Water”, a new piece of dance/theater which Sally Nash choreographed in 1983, was first performed at Glen Echo Park in Washington, D.C. in July. At that time Washington Post critic Alan Kriegsman singled out the movements when “a melancholy cluster of dancers momentarily evoked Rodin's statuary The Burghurs of Calais.’” It also evokes the Agnes DeMille folk style of “Fall River Legend” and “Oklahoma.” The particular favorite part of “Seen Through Min - ing Waters” mentioned by Kriegmans in July and ap plauded here Saturday was the second part "A Portrait" which plays with the concept of role switching. The sexual reversal during the duet between Mitch ell Mercurio and Nan Reddick was amusing and stunning in its initial impact and then completely believ able in its execution and matter-of-fact performance. In this dance Mercurio appears in a purple gown, with white lace collar while Red dick wears a necktie, white vest, purple silk shirt, and baggy trousers. Together the two portray the timeless saga of w oman scorned accompanied by songs by Km mylou Harris. This sequence closes on a light note with Mercurio gazing at Reddick while Harris sings "Making Relieve." \ et the theme was clear. Mercurio has a look of yearning and Reddick a strength and energy that makes this unlikely concept come across with all seriousness. In "Signs and Spirits" the company experiments with movement, sometimes actually seeming to toss away a hand or an arm. The strong focus and well devel oped sense of balance of the dancers sets this section apart from the nrdmarv. I lie only disturbing aspect was one short green rns tame among many long blue ones for no clear reason.

Va 22747 HOURS 8 30 a m to 5:30 p m . Mon Fri Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company Inc Member Audit Bureau of Circulation Thursday, November 17,1983 The Message If there was an overriding issue in last Tuesday’s elections for the Rappahannock board of supervisors, it was the state of the educational program and the public schools in this county. Challengers Diane Wood in Hampton District and Butch Zindel in Jackson made education the focal point of their campaigns as did Sean Kilpatrick in Stonewall-Hawthorne. Even though they didn’t win, their success should give local government a message: after waiting since 1D7<J for something to be done about the overcrowding and lack of adequate facilities at the high school, the voters — at least a significant number of them — want something done now. Diane Wood, a former teacher, entered the race late. She mounted a belated write-in campaign against veteran Clarance Baldwin and lost by a three-to-one margin. Baldwin’s last opponent whose name appeared on the ballot four years ago — lost by over four-to-one, 94 votes to 39<5. If Wood had been on the ballot, she could realistically have won 20 to 30 percent more votes. Still, she made an impressive showing, considering her youth and the time she’s been in the county compared to Baldwin’s long established position. In Amissville, Zindel lost to incumbent J. Richard Latham, a 12 year veteran and current chairman of the board, by just five votes. Another newcomer to the county, Zindel’s contracting business prevented him from doing much campaigning. But in his appearances at candidates’ forums, he stressed repeatedly his commitment to improving the county’s public schools. Like Wood, he made education THE issue in his campaign. Nelson Lane, with the support of incumbent H.B. Wood, another veteran of the board whose father before him represented Stonewall-Hawthorne, defeated Sean Kilpatrick by a margin of three-to-two. Kilpatrick has long been an outspoken advocate of improvements to the county’s educational program, particularly in the area of expanded facilities at the high school. Kilpatrick won a third again more votes than he did four years ago when he first ran for the seat. We’ve talked to voter after voter who cast a ballot for one of these unsuccessful challengers. In every case, they viewed their choice as a vote for school improvements. The supervisors and the school board should heed that message. In 197(1, a joint committee composed of representatives from the two boards detailed the space needs at Rappahannock County High School. Except for the addition of temporary trailers, nothing has been done since then. Subsequent school boards, education groups and most recently, the superintendent’s special committee have T,also seen the need for more space at the high school and given that issue top priority in their proposed improvement programs. But the drive falters everytime the question has been placed before the supervisors who have the unpopular task of finding the money in local coffers for any construction project. The people who voted for Wood, Zindel and Kilpatrick know the ultimate source of money for high school improvements. A low interest literary loan may provide the initial funds but even a low interest loan from the state must be repaid and repayment comes from local tax dollars. Despite the realization that it will mean higher taxes, the support for school improvement is there. We have delayed long enough. The time for action is now. That’s the message in last Tuesday’s elections for supervisors. This Was The News In Bygone Rappahannock Times... 20 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS Kennedy Assassinated by Sniper's Bullet; Lyndon Baines Johnson Is 3(1 th President, read the Rappahannock News top headline in the November 28. 1963 issue. A black bordered photo of John Fitzgerald Kennedy was above a picture of the flag flying at half mast at the Bradley - Atkins Service Station and Fruit Stand in Sperryville. And as the News joined with the rest of the nation’s papers in mourning, the editor pulled from the files a photo of LBJ and Lady Bird stopping to talk with J. Rodes Brown of Sperryville and other area political leaders during the 1960 campaign’s whistlestop tour which came through Rappahannock. Local businesses closed Monday “as they joined the world in mourning the untimely death of the late President John F. Kennedy. A memorial service was held at the Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church of Sperryville. Mrs. Thomas Massie completed the service with a solo “I Know That Mv Redeemer Liveth.” The Rappahannock Manufactur ing Company suspended operations during the time that the late president’s funeral mass was being held in Washington, D.C. During this time the local workers gathered at the h lint Hill Methodist Church. Jimmy Bly, assistant manager of the plant, sang two hymns and delivered a brief eulogy. 10 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS Robert Ramey of Flint Hill was enormously proud of the very large deer that he bagged on the first day of deer hunting season. The animal weighed 188 pounds field dressed. Rappahannock County had a fairly heavy deer kill along the foot of the Blue Ridge on the first day of the deer season. Three of the five game checking stations had reported a total of 51 deer by the late afternoon. The same three stations had reported five bear checked through the week before, compared to one bear during the entire previous season. The highest bear take was in 1971 when nine were bagged. Meeting To Discuss Meeting In a Washington town council session remarkable for its brevity, it was decided to set a special meeting to vote on the pending application from the owners of The Inn for a special use permit. At issue is a request to enlarge the building. The transcript of the October 12 public hearing is under review by town attorney Douglas Baumgardner. Mayor Newbill Miller said a meeting date can be set for the vote after Baumgardner is ready to offer a recommendation on the matter. A special meeting is needed in order to comply with council’s mandatory 60 flay time limit for deciding on zoning applications. That time will have elapsed before the next regular session. No other business was before the council in this November 9 meeting which lasted approximately ten minutes. -Our Rappahannock Heritage Kidwell: Facts Come Before Judgment To the editor: During the jury selection for my last trial one of the most often asked questions by the prosecutor of the prospective jurors was: “Have you already formed an opinion of Mrs. Kidvvell's guilt or innocense from reading newspapers and discussing the case with others in the community?” When many of the men and women answered: No, they would have to hear the facts first, the prosecutor replied, “Would you be surprised to know that there are people who form opinion's without first learning the facts?” I believe Mr. Kuneewicz must be one of those people. (Rappahannock News, letters to the editor. Nov. 3.) My husband did not load the shotgun, give it to me and watch me go to meet Mr. Spellman. The gun had been loaded quite some time before I took it from our foyer, unbeknown to my husband and went out a side door, unbeknown to my husband. 1 did park my truck across the “right of way." However, the fact is that this right of way is a road way which is our privatelyowned . property. Other property owners are granted, in their deeds, a right to use” this roadway in order to cross our property, which fronts on Route 729. I did not shoot at Mr. Spellman for making threatening passes at me with the bulldozer. I did not shoot because he was tearing up my property. I shot because 1 was afraid I was going to die when he reached for his gun. I honestly believed that he had a gun and I was right. Neither my husband, my family nor myself have gone “scot-free." We have^ all suffered deeply through relentless prosecution this past year, partly because of actions by persons other than ourselves. I'm sure there will be other critical letters like Mr. Kuncewicz's. We cannot and do not expect everyone to know all the facts and understand this case. We cannot expect everyone to agree with the jury’s verdict, although people must realize that all of my juries worked long and hard in their deliberations. Even though The Kappa hannock News has done an excellent job in reporting the entire case, other newspaper articles have been incorrect or misleading. The Washington Times on Oct. 25, in reporting about Mr. Spellman’s will, states that he “left the whole shebang to his sidekick, Columbus ‘Poncho’ Greenlee.” Mr. Spellman’s will is public record. It states “I give, devise, bequeath, and appoint all of my property, real or personal, of whatsoever nature and wheresoever situated, to which I shall be legally or equitablyentitled to Patricia Saltonstall of Flint Hill, Va. I direct that the said Patricia Saltonstall take annually from my net estate an amount equal to 10 percent of my net estate, and pay said amount in equal monthly installments, to my friend, Columbus Greenlee of Amissville, Va., for the life of the said Columbus Greenlee." On behalf of my family and myself I would again like to thank everyone for all their prayers and support during this past vear. DIANEKIDWELL Flint Hill Come On, Rappahannock To the editor: So the election is over, and our favorite candidate lost. Well, praise the Lord anyhow! Come on. Rappahannock, let's get it altogether. With malice toward none and love toward all, let’s live so that we will be known by our disposition, not just by our position. One of the loveliest lessons that I have ever learned in life, 1 learned from the greatest ground hog hunter I ever knew in Rappahannock County. His name: John Wesley Silvey. The lesson: Love sees through a telescope, not a microscope. Right on. Junior Silvey. Sometimes we hunters can be as straight as a gun barrel and as empty as one at the same time. Victories in life are won by love, not by prejudice and power. We have committed the Golden Rule to memory; let’s now commit it to life. If we are not a blessing to others, life will not be a blessing to us. Life is like a tennis match: the person who serves well seldom loses. Come , on, Rappahannock, let's get it altogether. THINK TENNIS AND LOVE ALL. GROUND HOG KIRKPATRICK Flint Hill Record Registration And Vote 1 o the editor: On November 8, 1983, no less than 2,432 citizens of Rappahannock County went to the polls and voted. This total represents 76. lVf of the 3,196 citizens who were registered to vote - a remarkably high percentage in comparison with the national average. It also represents the greatest total vote ever in this county. This upward trend is an encouraging sign that the people here are concerned with the quality of their local government. No small part of the credit for the large voter turnout is clue to our Registrar, Ruth Kilby, and Assistant Registrar, Marge Atkins. From April 1, 1983 to October 8, 1983, when the lists were closed for the recent election, they registered 357 new voters - an increase of 12.6% in six months. Because of their efforts to expand the list, the number of registered voters in Rappahannock County is 3,196 out of a total eligible population (18 years and older) of 4,478. This means that we now have 71.37% of eligible citizens registered to vote. Congratulations, Ruth Kilby and Marge Atkins! And many thanks for your dedicated service. LEE BIRD Washington -From Both BarrelsDisappointment On Election Day By GEORGE BOWLES If one were to look only at the numbers following last week's General Assembly elections, the conclusion might easily be drawn that the only result this summer’s and fall’s hard campaigning was a “Mexican standoff. ’’ Going into the election, the Democrats occupied bo seats in the 100 member House of Delegates while the Republicans claimed 34 seats. One was held by an independent. In the Senate, the Democrats held 32 seats and the Republicans eight. When the smoke cleared in the wake of Tuesday’s voting, these figures remained unchanged. There will, however, be a number of new faces in each house from both parties. Still, although they suffered no aggregate loss, the election was a bitter disappointment to the GOP. The Democrats, on the other hand, hailed it as a promising victory. While there was no realistic possibility that the Republicans could gain control of either the House or the Senate this year, they had confidently expected that they would make significant progress toward becoming the majority party in the legislature at least within this decade. That, of course, remains their goal, but this year’s election was a discouraging setback. Compounding their lack of numerical progress was the stunning loss of two of their most respected legislators, one from each body. Sen. Ray Garland of Roanoke’s 21st District was unhorsed by Democrat J. Granger McFarland in the day’s biggest upset. Garland had served in the House from 1968 until 1980, when he moved to the Senate after his own upset victory over veteran Democrat William Hopkins. In the House, 67th District Del. George Jones of Chesterfield lost a close race to Democrat N. I,. (Les) Saunders. Jones had served in the house since 1969 and was a member of some of its most prestigeous committees. He served on privileges and Elections, Rules, Finance and Counties, Cities and Towns. In the Senate, the GOP had targeted several Democratic seats which appeared vulnerable. Among them were those held by Senators Thomas Michie, 25th District; Madison Marye, 37th District; Robbie Scott, 2nd District and William Fears, 3rd District. The Republicans had expected to pick up at least some of these. As things worked out, the Democrats retained them all. In addition, the Republicans lost the seat being vacated by Sen. Eva Scott of Amelia in the sprawling 17th District. Democrat Edd Houck of Spotsylvania upended Republican candidate Patrick McSweeney of Powhatan to bring the district into the Democratic column. In spite of the stand-off in the final figure. Gov. Chuck Robb proclaimed the election a Democratic triumph. He, along with state party Chairman Alan Diamonstein, noted that when a party controls almost 70 percent of the legislature, it is highly vulnerable to losses. When those losses don’t occur it is the equivalent of a win. The election has already had deep repercussions in both camps. Within the GOP, there is a renewed hue-and-cry for the resignation of Dr. Alfred Cramer of Culpeper, the state chairman. Republican financier Smith Ferebee and his allies in the financial community are reportedly dangling a $150,000 carrot in front of the Republican leadership. The money would be donated to the party if it will fire Cramer and install Judy Peachee of Chesterfield as chairperson. Peachee is a former GOP national committeewoman and is currently an aide to Sen. Paul Trible. Cramer supporters doubt that more than $50,000 has actually been raised, but they admit that it is enough to make Cramer “a hostage" to his opponents, who blame him for Tuesday’s poor showing. Cramer says he may call a news conference later this week to announce his response to the resignation pressure. Needless to say, on the Democratic side the reaction to the election result is quite different. With Republican U.S. Senator John Warner up for re-election next year, the Democrats have been viewing with concern the lack of potential candidates to challenge him. So far only former Del. Edvthe Harrison of Norfolk has announced that she will seek the party’s nomination. Both Robb and Diamonstein believe this may now change. “We have proven," said Diamonstein, "that we have a party which can offer support to its candidates. We have a superb organization and a superb staff—as good as any in the history of the state. “Anyone who is considering a Senate bid next year,” he added, “should be greatly encouraged by Tuesday’s results.” Thus, although the election was a “Mexican standoff’ as far as assembly strength is concerned, it will profoundly affect the new election year now getting underway. For the Republicans, that year appears to be beginning with bitter recriminations and a potentially bloody power struggle. The Democrats, on the other hand, see in the election outcome the seeds of an opportunity to capture a U.S. Senate seat in 1984. In either case, as it is at this season each year in the Old Dominion, it’s another opening, another show. Psychic, Healing Seminar Psychic Pat Rodegest and spiritual healer Barbara Conway, both of West Port Connecticut, will conduct a two-day seminar at Blackwater Homestead in Boston this weekend. The focus of the seminar will be on opening the psychic and spiritual healing channels of the participants. Cost for Saturday’s program from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. is $15; for Sunday’s session from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., the cost is $10. ($20 for both).

Reassessment Pushed Back Until 1985 Divided on the issue of how long to delay the county’s next reassessment, originally set by the state for 1984, Rappahannock’s supervisors voted to seek postponement of the next re-evaluation of property for one year. The board had the option of asking the state for either a one year or two year postponement. “I’d like to make it for the longest (period) — until 1986,” announced Supervisor H. B. Wood. “We just got through with one and it will cost $60,000 to $70,000. I don’t see how it will benefit anyone to have another reassessment.” Supervisor Clarence Baldwin seconded Wood’s proposal. “Didn’t we put money in this year’s budget for a reassessment?” asked Hubert Gilkey. “$25,000,” repUed Charles “Pete” Estes. “That doesn’t mean we have to start it this year,” Wood countered. “We carry the money in there so we won’t have to pay for all (the reassessment cost) in one year.” “It has to be deferred one year,” agreed Estes. “But I have reservations about postponing it for two. Land use values have to be addressed or we’ll be in trouble, as Mr. Eastham points out (see separate story).” Under a land use assessment program, qualifying property is assessed and taxed on the basis of its worth for agricultural, horticultural or forestal production rather than its fair market value for development. Once the locality sets the assessed value for the different categories of land in the use value program — generally the same values as those recommended by the State Land Evaluation Advisory Committee (SLEAC) — those values can’t be changed except in the year of a reassessment. Rappahannock’s assessed values for land categories in the preferential assessment program now currently lag far behind the recommendations of SLEAC which upped the worth of its scale this year. “Two years is a very short time,” said Wood, arguing for the longer deferral period. The county’s last reassessment (on which the state approved postponement of implementation until the current tax year) “is the closest we’ve come in my lifetime to taxing fairly,” said Wood, adding that the land use program ensured taxing equality for undeveloped land. “I disagree. I don’t think anyone’s tax bill should go down 20 to 30 percent for a farm or for a house,” said Estes, referring to decreased levies for some individuals — both in and out of the land use program — under the current assessment. “It evened things out,” argued Wood. “This is the best, the fairest that it's been.” The equality of the tax burden “is better than it was but it needs refining a little bit," Estes maintained. "I'll go along with one year but 1 can't see two years," interjected Gilkey. On Wood’s motion to seek a two year reassessment postponement from the state, the board split three-two with Estes, Gilkey and chairman J. R. Latham opposed. A substitute motion from Estes to ask for a one year lelay carried unanimously. "1 think it should be postponed. If it can’t be two years, it certainly should be Keithley Runs 4th In State, Team Takes 3rd One hundred and fourtysix runners stretched across the starting line Saturday morning for the “A” state cross country championships held on Piedmont Community College’s course in Charlottesville. They raced each other and a bitterly cold wind that factored the temperature down to near freezing despite the bright sunshine. When they reached the finish line, Rappahannock’s Scott Keithley was fourth, leading the Pan thers to a third place finish among the 24 schools competing. Buffalo Gap repeated its winning performance in the regionals, compiling just 57 points. Defending Group A champ Strasburg, third place behind Buffalo Gap and Rappahannock in the regionals, was second with 88. The Panthers’ total of 121 points took third. “The team and I hoped we’d place first or second for a trophy. We were some WARRENTON FOOT CLINIC Bruce J.

Winning third place out of all the single “A” schools in Virginia is quite an accomplishment,” coach Ann Speiker said. “It was a fitting climax for this year’s cross country season.” And indeed, the cross country Panthers set a high mark in 1983. They were in first place in the Bull Run District at the end of the regular season, missing first place only once. That slip by just two points came in the final trimeet with Strasburg. The Rams played the role of spoiler from then on for Rappahannock. They again edged the Panthers in the district finals, dropped to third behind RCHS in regional and then came back to defeat the Panthers in last Saturday’s state championships. At Piedmont, they placed runners in seventh, 13th, 14th, 16th and 38th to count in the standings. Behind Keithley’s fourth place finish over the 3.1 mile course were Ronnie Atkins (17th), Chris Caperton (21st), Craig Kenyon (32nd) and Ricky Shaw (47th). Only the placings of top five runners from each school were tabulated for team standings. Also running for Rappahannock, were Elwood Dodson (59th) and David Dodson (83rd). “Perhaps the saddest thing about the state meet was that it concluded the high school cross country careers for five seniors — five seniors who have put a lot of NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF PROPOSED RATE INCREASE BY CENTRAL TELEPHONE COMPANY OF VIRGINIA On September 1,1983, Central Telephone Company of Virginia ("Centel" or "Company") filed an application with the State Corporation Commission for increased rates that would produce additional revenues in the amount of $1,645,715 by means of a 4.14 percent surcharge to be applied to existing rates.

Zoning Matters The supervisors approved an exception to subdivision ordinance regulations for S. 1). Hutton ot Amissville. He owns two tracts of land at the intersection of Routes 211 and bid: one 2.9 acre lot and one 2.74 acres. Hutton requested approval of a family transfer of two acres which would leave a .9 acre residue in one lot. “I told Mr. Hutton that if he merged the residue with the second lot, it would be feasible for the board to approve,” reported zoning administrator David Konick. He added that Hutton’s request was before the supervisors for exception approval because of three problems: (1) the size of the residue, (2) the question of whether the 2.9 acre lot was legally platted before 19b2 and thus eligible for the lam ily transfer provision and (d) the issue of whether it is allowable to give a famih transfer exception for a niece (when state and local regulations provide only for family transfer to parent or child). “Mr. Hutton has two lots of record now and there will still be two lots of record af ttT the transfer so I don't see any problem with this," said Kstes. I he supervisors unanimously approved Hutton's request, contingent upon merger of the acre residue with the second lot and compliance with Health Department regulations on septic fields. Mr. and Mrs. Crane, who were requesting an exception to zoning ordinance setback provisions for an addition to their home on Route HIT in Flint Hill, wore advised that the supervisors could grant exceptions only to t he subdivision ordinance, not to the county's zoning laws. However, the board initiated the public hearing process for adoption of a zoning ordinance amendment which will permit the ( runes to build the addition. In other action, the supervisors: set a public hearing for their December meeting to consider proposed boundaries for the town of Wash mgton, —endorsed the Rappahannock Fin* and Rescue Association’s request for designation of a regional fire training center at Amissville. (The endorse nient does not obligate the county to any expenditure of funds but makes the facility eligible for state and federal grants.) —unanimously approved an order to Haughn Const ruction Company, contractor for the jail renovation, to return materials salvaged from the building and cur rently stored in Page County. —adopted a Section III Plan for the Sperry ville sewer project which speci ties that local businesses and low income residents in the county are to be used as much as possible for construction work. —named Hubert (lilkey chairman of a board committee to work with local judges on their requested renova tions for the county courthouse.

News From Castleton By lYlHJHfciLfc, MAY Rappahannock News Correspondent 937-4031 The word we heard is that the Turkey Ridge Run is going to be a humdinger. Entire track teams are signing up for it. It will make the Boston Marathon look like a tiny little gathering of folks out for an afternoon stroll. Runners have until November 28 to pre-register by mailing their $6 entry fee to Phillip Strange in care of the Castleton fire hall, general delivery. Phillip says the 7.3 mile run has been set for December 3 — a good time to work off that gracious plenty of Thanksgiving turkey that might make you fat otherwise — maybe that’s why it’s the turkey ridge run? You don't get a ridge ’round your stomach if you run, right? Anyway, going up and down the pretty hills in Castleton will surely be an annual great sporting event. There was a great dance event at the elementary school Saturday but there weren’t a lot of local folks there to see it. Julie Coon and the rest of The Last Minute Wood Company are Rappahannock’s answer to the New York City Ballet — Julie is a pretty and graceful dancer and all of Castleton ought to turn out this Saturday for the second performance of “Seen Through Moving Waters.” Sammy Vanneman turns four on Friday and Cherry says some suitable celebration will mark the occasion. Donna Fisher says the same of Saturday when Lewis turns 14. However the event will be a little different — for a flock of wild teenage boys will swoop down on the Fishers’ home — some of them to roost all night. Sammy likes his parties a little more sedate at his age. Donna says Wayne came home from the hospital last Friday and expected to go back to school starting today. Tuesday Peggy Woodward came home from the hospital in Richmond after staying for nearly a week. Darlene Conover flew back to Alaska last Friday now that J. T. is home from the hospital and John Henry’s been elected sheriff with a healthy margin. And weren’t there just crowds of Castleton neighbors at the courthouse cheering him on? It’s official now. John Henry came into the news office Monday to place a help wanted ad for a deputy to fill the opening in January after he gets sworn in. Congratulations go to Nelson Lane, Castleton’s new county supervisor, too. He was sitting in a school board meeting when he heard he’d won and he looked so shook up we thought he’d got bad news. Guess he’ll be sorry to leave the familiar surroundings and hopes he’ll do a good job. We know he will. By the way, have you seen his new draft horses? They’re gonna be in big demand for holiday hay and sleigh rides. They’re right cute, too. That EMT class on Monday nights seems to be dwindling down to a precious few as it gets harder and harder. All day Saturday they were practicing rescuing pretend folks who might have been trapped in crashed cars. They had to use all this heavy strange looking equipment to cut the cars apart. Next they each have to work ten hours in a hospital emergency room. They say the lucky ones will see a lot of blood — they’re the lucky ones cuz they’ll get a lot more experience. “Monday night EMT widow” Donna Fisher says “They deserve all the credit in the world if they get through this.” It isn’t too much longer....

Rappahannock County School News Keeping Books At The School By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock News Staff Writer When he announced the resignation of bookkeeper Faye Suddueth, Rappahannock school superintendent Robert Estabrook said “work habits” had caused him to call for Suddueth’s resignation under threat of dismissal. The school board accepted the resignation at the conclusion of a special meeting called on October 26 as a policy manual work session. The board then voted to appoint former special services secretary Bonnie Hahn to the position. She had kept the books there since July when she came to work for the school system, Estabrook says, “and has a background over the years.” A 1967 RCHS graduate, Hahn majored in bookkeeping at Astrayer Junior College in Washington, D.C. Estabrook says Suddueth had been bookkeeper for the school system for 2'/a years and has a background in bookkeeping spanning more than 20 years before that. “The pattern of errors in her work were the primary concern,” Estabrook told the News. “In terms of law and out of deference to a former employee, you don’t just start commenting on a former employee. It was a personnel matter. It was discussed in executive session.” Estabrook was asked whether the double-entry bookkeeping system recently adopted by the board to take effect during the 1982-83 fiscal year was complicating the system’s finances. “Not really,” he responded. There had been some resistence toward change as there is with any new system, he said. “It’s simply a change.” He was then asked whether he is happy with the new procedure. “Not totally, no,” he admitted. “We’re trying to align more closely with the practices of the county treasurer’s office. -There’s an awkwardness with two kinds" of treatment of the same data.” Estabrook added that Hahn has “already spent a good amount of time (with county treasurer Frances) Mrs. Foster” since she officially began her duties on October 27 working out what Estabrook termed a “compromise” system of bookkeeping — something to simplify rapport between the two offices without affecting the school system’s double entry requirements. The procedures were approved at the June, 1981, school board meeting to provide an unqualified audit of the school activity and cafe teria funds. The board approved adoption of a cash receipts system detailed in a 32 page booklet prepared by the Culpeper accounting firm of Young, Nicholas and Mills. The cost of implementing the system was expected to be approximately $1,100 as a one time fee plus the expense of two cash registers for the cafeterias, one for each school. There is also an annual auditing fee to the accounting firm. Under the system checks drawn on activity fund accounts must be supported by an invoice from an outside source or a check request detailing the expense which is co-signed by the requesting individual and the principal. A cafeteria inventory must be made monthly by two people. Also the change fund is counted on a random periodic basis and the cafeteria cash register is closed out by the cafeteria supervisor or the principal also on a regular random basis, at least once a month. The numbering system was inaugurated for lunch tickets and tickets to school activities. Sixteen separate sample forms, receipts, tickets, and vouchers were included in the proposal. GED Testing Available Rappahannock residents who were once enrolled in school but did not complete graduation requirements have until December 6 to apply for the GED (General Educational Development) tests to be given in Front Royal on December 10 and again on December 17. Residents may register at the county school board office or call 987-8773 for more information. A fee of $15 is charged for each battery of five tests and $3 for each re-test. Applicants must present their social security card or other legal identification when they apply to take the tests. By successfully completing the GED tests, adults may earn a high school equivalency certificate, qualify for admission to colleges and other institutions of higher learning, meet employment related educational requirements and satisfy educational qualifications for induction into the armed forces. My sincere thanks and appreciation for re-electing me to serve you as Treasurer. Your vote was very much appreciated. Frances A.

Wine before coming to work for the school system in July. RAAC Sponsors Special Events As part of RAAC’s commitment to provide cultural enrichment opportunities to the county’s young people, two recent events have taken place. Over a hundred students from Wakefield’s and RCHS’s French classes saw a special showing of “The King of Hearts”, a French movie, at the Gay Street Theater on November 7. This event was coordinated by RAAC’s film club and Freeman Allan. On November 4, the lead actors in RCHS’s production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream were given an acting workshop by professional actor, Keith McDermott of New York City, who was in Rappahannock as a consultant to the cast of “Voices of Rappahannock”. McDermott played across from Richard Burton in the Broadway production of “Equus” and most recently acted in the movie, “Without A Trace”. Label Collector Offers Service Students at Rappahannock County Elementary School are again conducting their annual collection drive for labels from Campbell Soup and Franco American products which the school exchanges for physical education equipment.

24 Indictments Citizens Group Cites Building Needs (Continued from Page 1) Post Camp Seven. The five-member grand jury also returned true bills against Mary Runion and Mickey Henry of Huntlv for manufacture of marijuana with intent to distribute. The charges are the result of a major drug enforcement operation by the State Police last August that involved helicopter surveillance coordinated with ground patrols. The judge ordered a capias issued for the pair and set bond at $500 cash or corporate surety on each. Runyon s trial is set for December 23 before a jury. With few open court dates remaining in the current year. Judge Robertson suggested that the charges agaihst Henry be heard here by Judge Thomas Horne, on December ‘JO. Other true bills returned on Monday include: —charges against Albert Wayne Gatewood of breaking and entering and grand larceny at the Pine Knot Inn on December 2, 19X0. —charges against Samuel Lee Fulk and Malcom Wayne Thompson of Rockingham County for grand larceny in the theft of over $200 worth of goods from Thomas J. Kramer. —charges against William Ricky Butler of Culpeper for driving after being declared an habitual offender. While the grand jury listened to testimony from law enforcement officers and considered the indictments in the jury room, .Judge Robertson worked through a short circuit court docket. In accord with requests from attorneys representing all parties, Robertson continued until December 12 a case involving a proposed shooting range in Amissville. He also continued in force the injunction obtained by Commonwealth's Attorney Douglas Baumgardner on file county's behalf enjoining the Rappahannock Sportsmen's Association from further construction on the gun range site. Judgement Case The judge ordered a 1971 Chevelle belonging to Nancy C. Miller turned over to the sheriffs department to satisfy a debt owned by her husband to the Washington Volunteer Fire Department. During debtor interrogatories, Ronald L. Miller testified that he had no money and no property acquired since his last appearance in court. Asked by attorney David L. Konick about the watch he was wearing. Miller said it belonged to his son. As Mrs. Miller took the stand, .Judge Robertson explained that Konick could present the interrogatories because his client had a judgement against the Millers. (Ronald Miller was hired and paid for carpentry work at the Washington Volunteer Fire Department's new fire hall and then never completed the job.) Visibly shaking from what appeared to be a muscle disease, Mrs. Miller told the court that she has no bank account and no income. Any tools at their Luray home belong to her son, she said. She acknowledged ownership of a li»71 Chevelle, adding that her husband used the car to get back and forth to work. Citing the relevant section of Virginia law, Konick asked the court to take possession of the car. “You have my truck. I’ve paid $2,200 now. I really don’t know how much more I owe," Miller responded. Konick reported that Miller owed the Washington Volunteer Fire Department $2,01 l.(i(i. Subtracting attorney's fees, interest, advertising costs and what had already been repaid leaves a balance of $X20 owned, he said. Under the evidence and the law, "1 have no choice but to direct the conveyance of your vehicle to satisfy this debt,” Judge Robertson told Mrs. Miller. “I need the car. I need to get to work. You have my truck," Miller argued. “I can't see why you need the car too. I know that truck is worth more than $800.” "I have doctors’ appointments,” added Mrs. Miller, who earlier showed the judge an affidavit affirming her appointments. "The office is 44 miles from our home!" “You are obligated to him," the judge explained. "You have to pay him. . . The court has sympathy for you but the court doesn’t write the law," said Robertson, ordering the car turned over to the sheriffs office for sale to satisfy the debt. At the attorney’s request. the judge directed the Millers to stay in the courtroom until the vehicle was conveyed. In other action, the court set trial for James W. Grehan on a misdemeanor appeal of a reckless driving charge for December 1. Also continued until that date was a charge against Charles B. Nicholson for failure to make restitution on an earlier conviction for welfare fraud. (Continued from Page 1) studies or as a possible professional skill; and as a step in understanding electronics and related technologies. Homework Recommendation number four is that “clearly defined guidelines for frequent, consistent, scheduled and monitored homework and testing should be established.” The Nation at Risk report suggested more rigorous standards for academic performance and in earlier remarks on the report, superintendent Robert Kstabrook specifically mentioned homework and testing as ways to measure and insure student performance.

Robert Thomas Barnes, former operations vice president of ESS, pleaded guilty last month to a charge of falsifying records and was fined $500, ordered to serve 100 hours of community service and sentenced to six months probation. He was in charge of compiling reports to the State Water Control Board based on meter readings submitted by company technicians at the facilities. “Barnes left the company a couple of years ago,” Moore reported.

This personal priority was picked up by the superintendent’s advisory committee. Spanish The most discussion from the school board came during presentation of the fifth recommendation — that French be phased out and that Spanish be offered in the high school. Further, the committee would like to see “the feasibility of foreign language study in the elementary school investigated and appropriate action be taken." “Why Spanish?” wondered Paul Nichols. Committee member Joel Daczewitz responded that more Spanish speaking immigrants are now entering up now.” The case was heard in federal court because the falsified data involved compliance with the Clean Water Act of 1977. According to the Washington Post, Environmental Protection Agency officials have acknowledged that the facilities and the pollutants discharged were small, but contended the case was important as a deterrant to similar acts by others in the monitoring program. The Information Bureau of the Water Control Board turned the case over to the Environmental Protection Agency in late 1981, and that agency investigated the matter until February 1983, according to an official with the Criminal Enforcement Agency of the EPA in Philadelphia, who asked to remain unidentified. "The facts dictated what kind of charges we pressed,” the official said. from that district with 303 votes to Sean Kilpatrick’s 191. Incumbent H. B. Wood who was not seeking re-election had three votes. Mary Botts Quaintanee and Kim G. Burke each received one write-in vote. In the combined precincts of Flint Hill and Chester Gap, incumbent Hubert S. Gilkey had 447 votes. Write-in votes went to Butch Eastham (four), Garfield Burke (three), Werner Krebser, Richard Settle and Sherman Williams (one each). Running unopposed for the seat in the Virginia House of Delegates district which includes Rappahannock County, Raymond R. “Andy” Guest, the Republican incumbent, had 1,874 votes, according to official returns. Sperrvville attorney James W. Fletcher III received two votes and Dorothy Davis,' Eugene McCarthy and John Summers one apiece. In the race for the 2(ith district seat in the Virginia Senate, Republican Kevin Miller carried Rappahannock with 1,3(10 to Ernest Schlabach’s 873. Peter Pan had one vote to bring his countywide total in three races to three. With the official results certified by the local electoral board sent to Richmond on Monday, registrar Ruth Kilby said she expects confirmation on the balloting from the State Board of Electors by Wednesday.

Committee member Nancy Schoppett added that she had talked with the kids in the schools who told her they would most like to learn Spanish. Nichols said a language such as Latin might teach more about word roots, grammar and so on. He questioned whether the aim of studying a foreign language is to learn the basics of linguistics or to become able to converse fluently in a second language. Superintendent Estabrook said “there are many kinds of yardsticks” used to measure the educational purpose of a foreign language ranging from the ability of “speaking with those we might see” to the old notion that students planning to major in engineering were encouraged to study German so they could read technical journals. School board member Nancy Reeve pointed out that Spanish is taught at most high schools and Rappahannock would be more in line with the times doing likewise; it would make it easier for transfer students entering or leaving Rappahannock schools to continue their foreign language study. Reeve said. The Nation at Risk commission points out that it takes four to six years of concentrated study to achieve proficiency in a foreign language. Therefore study must start in the elementary grades if the language is to be mastered. The commission reported it worth the time because language “introduces students to non-English speaking cultures, heightens awareness and comprehension of one’s native tongue and serves the nation’s needs in commerce, diplomacy, defense and education.” Salary Scale “In order to secure and retain the best teachers for our young people, it is mandatory to establish a more attractive salary scale that is competitive with surrounding counties and localities.” Thus reads the committees sixth recommendation. Extra pay for additional duties is also recommended: “Supplemental duty pay should be reviewed and appropriate action taken to eliminate the deficiencies.” The Nation at Risk report urged: “Salaries for the teaching profession should be increased and should be professionally competitive, market sensitive and performance-based.” Time on Task Finally, the committee advised better use of the time students spend in school to maximize learning opportunities. Said the Nation at Risk report, “The time available for learning should be expanded through better classroom management and organization of the school day. The superintendent’s committee offered specific suggestions on how to do this. To allow more “time on task” the committee suggested “efforts must be made to reduce interruptions of the school day by factors not conducive to teaching and learning.” The advisory committee would also like to see the addition of more “minicourses” and summer workshops for remedial work or advanced studies. •property (©fferings l.nvely .'{ bedroom I bath home with additional '/-• bath. bdrm. and utility room in full, finished walk-out basement.
