She’s tried every where else. “I’ve been instructed by the board of directors (for Sursum Corda) to give top priority to ensuring we have operational funds for 1985," Harris reported. “In September and October, I averaged 20 hours a week on 25 requests to foundations for funds. Now I’m doing it again. I didn’t get any promises on the first round but something may still come through. There were some that said to contact them again in January or March, that they’d see what they could do for us.” The year before the Reagan administration began its budget cuts, Sursum Corda received $57,500 in government assistance, most through the now defunct CETA program in which job trainees gained experience in working for non-profit employers. The learning and child care center now gets just $2,500, all in subsidies for its breakfast and lunch program from the Department of Agriculture. “We get 11 cents for breakfast, 21 cents for lunch and eight cents for an afternoon snack per child. You can hardly set out a glass of milk or pay for the paperwork with that!” Harris noted. Through staff lay-offs, volunteer efforts and stepped-up fund raising, Sursum Corda has absorbed half of the loss in federal funds. But that still leaves a deficit of $25,000 — a deficit that Harris expects will continue unless Santa Claus or some other generous source lends assistance. One More Slap “One of the last rugs that could have been pulled out from under us was yanked away this fall,” she continued. Tax exempt, nonprofit organizations in the 501 (c) 3 category formerly had the option of providing social security coverage for employees. “Our staff chose not to have the coverage. But now, with the law change that takes effect this January, social security must be deducted from employees’ paychecks and we must match the amount,” Harris said. “It’s a killer. It’s going to cost Sursum —R MORE INTERESTED lunch, Christopher Be Hubson. "students” in /toddler program, m spoon in Marsha Thoi son, president of the center's board of direct er's aide.

It’s .just one more slap.” Harris doesn’t believe that tuition will ever pay the costs of running the child care and learning center, primarily because of the unique demand here. Sursum Corda has a waiting list for its infant-toddler program, the only one of its kind in the area. Caring for babies aged six weeks to two years is an expensive propo AND MORE INTERESTED IN A NAP than in everything else combined, six-weeks old Bryan King snoozes contently in the swing while his toddler classmates enjoy lunch. sition; the center doesn't break even on infants and | toddlers, much less make | money. The equation works j out better financially for I Sursum Corda where chil- a dren two to five years old are involved but for that age I group, the day care center I faces competition from other I pre-school programs here in I the county, in Warrenton j and in Culpeper. l From a business stand i point, it would seem logical to discontinue the expen- ! sive-to-run infant-toddler I care and focus instead on j older children and expand- j ing pre-school offerings.

We’re training 12 to 18 year olds in good infant, toddler and pre-school care and they, in turn, are saving us over $1,700 a year. . . We were out of options. In order for us to meet the demand for infant-toddler care and for me to even dream of it being financially feasible to the board, we had to find an alternative to paying adult gides $3.65 an hour and up. And I’ve been amazed at what these kids can do. They’re so mature, so responsible.” It’s that kind of experiment that keeps Sursum Corda going. That and the “lucky breaks” like last year’s out-right grant to cover the operational deficit and a $75,000 challenge grant for the center’s building fund, both from the Greve Foundation. That and the community support for the building fund drive that has brought in $37,500 in cash and pledges to date, approaching the local goal of $50,000. “The rest of it will be there when we need it — when we start building,” Harris predicted. Tied To Deficit Relief Why is Sursum Corda planning to build a new child care and learning center when it faces an operational deficit while housed in its present rented quarters?

The court had ordered the club to refrain from using its firing range on the Turner Settle property in Amissville until the court could hold its hearing on the permanent injunction. After hearing the evidence, Robertson decided Monday that the court* will continue and make permanent the previous injunction against the association. At the same time he pointed out that the club or any individual member could still apply to the county to establish a firing range. However the judge refused to expand the injunction to list the club’s specific members and its president, Robert L. Bowers, saying the issue had only been raised in closing arguments and that the individuals were not known to the court or present other than Bowers. Robertson said the defense argument that the injunction infringed on constitutional rights of association members was not valid. The zoning ordinance allows establishing places “to train to arms”. An injunction against a firing range where misapplication for required permits was made is not unconstitutional in any way, Robertson said. That the property was intended to be used as a firing range was not disputed. Work was begun upon the premises without a special use permit although the county zoning ordinance Inn Gets Building By MICHELE MAY KappahanniM'k V«k Staff Writer “They came in with a site plan in accordance with the zoning ordinance and it was my pleasure and my duty to issue them a building permit,” town zoning administrator David Konick said Tuesday afternoon half an hour after he had stamped final approval on plans to renovate The Inn at Little [ Washington.

Kenneth Robinson, Fauquier’s voice in the U. S. House of Representatives, informally announced his retirement plans last Friday. At a meeting of the 7th District Republicans in Winchester, the 67-year-old Congressman cited health problems, increased job pressure and his age as reaI sons for trading Washing; ton’s marble halls for his apple orchards in Frederick County. Congressman Robinson, the fifth-ranking Republican in the House and the senior member of Virginia’s 12man congressional delegation, will finish his seventh term and 14 years in office at the end of 1984. Reports of the congressman having skin cancer are not true, Robinson aide Evelyn Oleson said Tuesday. Several lesions or growths recently removed from the representative’s body were “nothing se makes special mention that a firing range may lie built in an agricultural district with a special use permit. The amendment allowing ranges by special permit was initially proposed by Mowers. Robertson declined to order the property restored to its original condition, saying “curiously little evidence or argument" was presented to convince him to order restoration. However, he went along with a request from Commonwealth’s Attorney Douglas Baumgardner that the association be ordered to remove its shooting stands. At Issue The hearing had started with Robertson’s statement that the “threshold issue" was whether the county zon ing ordinance was ambiguous about w hat constitutes a firing range. Commonwealth’s Attorney Douglas Baumgardner quoted the amendment which sets forth standards for obtaining a special use permit for a firing range. No distinction was made between private and commercial ones. Leland Mahon, lawyer for neighbor Patricia Ann Dixon, contended that the principles of the zoning ordinance were at stake, that its purpose is to protect citizens by giving them places to live in privacy while also devoting places exclusively for commercial and industrial ,*• purposes. The zoning administrator felt the ordinance was violated by the spoilsmen’s association, Mahan contended, because they had failed to seek a special use permit. Under questions from Robertson designed to define a shooting range Mahon said a target range would be The latest plans, Konick said, include 19 parking spaces. That number would be required under statewide building code standards if the restaurant were considered as a “place of assembly.” Konick had previously insisted that The Inn have 44 parking spaces to conform with zoning ordinance square footage requirements; The Inn will have 4,400 square feet of space after the building project. Under the state building code standards, a place of assembly needs one parking space for every five seats. The restaurant at The Inn seats 50 patrons, Konick said; thus ten parking spaces would be needed for the restaurant. rious,” she said. His bout with blood pressure is more acute, Ms. Oleson said. “The pressures of his job and his increasing age certainly are factors. He will be approaching 69 at the end of Congress and he indicated he had remained in office two to three years more than he had intended to,” she said. Although the formal retirement announcement will come in January, Ms. (Meson wherever one is engaged in target shooting, that the definition would be a simple matter of common sense and common usage. However, a shooting range would be commonly understood as something on a larger scale than shooting squirrels or shooting at tin cans. The sportsmen’s association had built berms, barriers and shooting stands, Mahon said. And so their construction seemed to be “a grand scale shooting range," ho added. In his opening statement, defense attorney Richard Dulaney contended that the zoning ordinance is ambiguous and sets no clear definition of what a firing range is. Ranges Special? A firing range is a use listed in the ordinance amendment as specifically needing a special use permit, the judge countered. Is the same definition problem seen in some 20 other uses which need special use permits?, he asked. Or is there a public perception of just what constitutes a shooting range? Dulaney argued that all target shooting everywhere in the county would be outlawed bv Mahon's definition. Routine weekend target shooting by groups such as the Washington Volunteer Fire Department could be prohibited, Dulaney asserted. This, he insisted, would be an infringement on the constitutional right to bear arms, a right which is even more specifically written in the Virginia constitution as the right “to train to arms.” Recause the sportsmen had banded together to form (Continued on Page 4) Konick considered the proposed overnight accommodations at The Inn as falling under the state code standards for a motel. With nine rooms, nine additional parking spaces would be required. The Inn presently has seven spaces in front of the building and propose to add four more in the back of the building. In addition, The Inn holds a lease agreement to share the 21 spaces at Trinity Episcopal Church. Konick said he had met with representatives from the state highway department Tuesday morning to review the proposed parking behind The Inn and the department had also approved the plan. said, the congressman made his plans public now so Republican candidates would have time to make campaign Iilans. “He’s got another year to go — it’s not like he’s going to be gone tomorrow,” she said. Once Congressman Robinson makes a decision, he “customarily sticks to it,” Ms. Oleson said, when asked if the Congressman could change his mind in the interim. Certain circumstances, however, could preclude his retirement. “1 suppose if we were suddenly involved in a tremendous war and he felt it was impossible for him to step aside, it might conflict with his present point of view,” Ms. Oleson said. National defense has ranked high on the conservative’s priorities. Fauquier residents — particularly Vint Hill Farms Station employees — witnessed his commitment to defense in (Continued on Page 4)

At Open House Graduation Guidelines Given, Film Viewed By Parents By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock New % Staff Writer “It’s going to be a little confusing next year. We’re going to have a choice of 'about five kinds of diplomas," RCHS principal Bob Chappell told 14 citizens who stayed late at last Wednesday’s open house at the county high school. Chappell offered an explanation of the 20 and 22 credit diplomas approved by the state board of education in July. The new graduation guidelines are to be phased in. They will first be required of the Class of ’88. No special diplomas will be available this year, but the Rappahannock Neuih Rappahannock & Adjoining Counties per year $8.00 Elsewhere in the U S. per year $10.00 Outside the U S. per year $8.00 plus postage SUBSCRIPTION RATES BY MAIL ALL PAYABLE IN ADVANCE ( )New ( (Renewal ( ) Check Enclose NAME ADDRESS CITY_ STATE ZIP _ Second class postage paid at the Post Office at Warrenton, Va.

The 20 credit diploma is affixed with a state board of education seal for students with a “B” average or better. The “B” average or better students in the 22 credit program receive a governor’s seal on their diplomas. Chappell said it will up to the county School Board to decide whether the “B” average may include grades below a “C” if there are enough “A’s” to balance them or whether the grades must all be “C” or better. The special diplomas start with the Class of’86. The present 9th graders are the last class able to graduate under the present 18 credit system. The new programs allow fewer electives because they require more math and science. In addition, the 22 credit diploma requires three credits of one foreign language or four of two different languages. Chappell pointed out that both plans could be considered college “prep” and that “it w’ould be a shame to push the 22 credit diploma exclusively.” The 22 credit program would be recommended for students hoping to enter universities with more stringent language entrance requirements, he added, giving the University of Virginia and Harvard as tw'o examples. The 22 credit program requires three credits in math to be taken in algebra I or higher, also three lab science credits: earth, biology, chemistry or physics. The 20 credit plan requires two math and two lab science credits at any level plus an extra credit to be chosen from math or science. In some cases, Chappell said, some of the vocational education sequences at Piedmont Technical could substitute for the extra math or science credit. Although it would be “mathmatically possible” for 20 and 22 credit students to study a two year program at Piedmont, Chappell said it will pose scheduling difficulties. However, Chappell pointed out that the 20 credit program still leaves a lot of flexibility through the six electives. As an example, Chappell pointed out a transfer student who is completing French V this year through independent study in the small French III class. This sort of individual scheduling will continue to be encouraged. Chappell pointed out that the two math credits required in the new 20 credit program are the same as Rappahannock currently requires although the state calls for only one. Individual school systems may always have tougher standards than the state’s minimum, he said. For example, some schools require algebra of all graduating seniors, according to Chappell. Starting with this year’s 8th grade class, all graduates must have “computer literacy” under the new state requirements, Chappell added, giving a nod to the RCHS Boosters Club. The group has been holding fundraisers to buy software and computer equipment for the math department.

The sum funded one additional computer. Guided Tour About 20 adults who arrived for the start of last week’s open house were impressed with the high school’s computer lab. The math wing was the first stop on a building tour conducted by Chappell. Teacher Donald Bomberger showed the visitors how the computers had been programmed for lesson plans ranging from music history for the mixed chorus to complex mathmatical equations. The parents enjoyed testing their skills against the computer/teacher and as often as not were chided electronically for giving the wrong responses. The group also visited the business department where Chappell spoke briefly on various typing classes offered. The last stop was the biology room where he pointed out microscopes that were donated by the Boosters club last year. Public Preview The citizens then gathered in the gym for a viewing of the movie “Running My Way”. The film, which deals with teen decisionmaking, was a joint purchase of the five area county’s welfare departments, according to family life educator Mary Wilkins w ho discussed the film with those in attendance after the screening. Wilkins took the film to Chappell last summer, he told the audience. After seeing it, he and assistant principal John Toth took it to school superintendent Robert Estabrook with the request that it be used in the schools. The School Board w'atched the film on October 11 and subsequently approved its use in grades 8-12 with parental permission and providing the classes are segregated by sex. Wilkins said that because of heavy scheduling in other schools, it would probably be late spring before she can show the movie to Rappahannock students, but that next year she would anticipate starting it earlier in the year here. -s' BOSTON GENERAL STORE WIN A COUNTRY HAM FOR CHRISTMAS!

MnUUriqlutil|i 647-9807 Wilkins said other schools include the movie in 10th grade biology classes, but that she could also see it fitting into Rappahannock’s health classes, adding that the county already uses a “remarkable” book, “Health and Safety For You”, which could be a companion piece to the film. Chappell said he would anticipate breaking the showing up into two or three lessons to allow each class ample discussion time after seeing portions of the movie. “We’re not just planning to show it and forget it,” he said. Wilkins and Chappell both asked the audience to react to the film and say whether they thought it should be used. “It’s better than ‘Dallas’,” said one parent. “It will start them thinking.” “The thinking is already going on, folks,” answered Chappell. “It’s more controlled thinking. For some, it’s too late.” Wilkins said she supported showing the film because she was “tired of talking to 11, 12 (year-olds who are pregnant) who say ’I didn't think it would happen to me.’ ” Another parent urged starting the film in the lowest grade and showing it to the 8th graders first. And a recent RCHS graduate who was in the audience said, “I think it should be showed. They’re doing it because their friends say, “Come out. we’re doing it.’ There’s more pressure nowadays. You should start in the 8th grade.” “We see it as possible prevention of the types of problems” teens face, Chappell said, asserting that the movie could be used in connection with discussions not just concerning sexuality, but also drugs and alcohol and any kind of difficult decision making where there might be strong peer pres- j sure to contradict parents’ ! standards. : “Now you saw it. Now i you can give the moral va- ■ lues,” Chappell told the par- j ents in the audience, J pointing out that the health department and schools are not allowed to get involved in moral judgements.

Day Care Center EMS Federation In Culpeper ((Continued from Page 1 )• [■ AsHarris explains, a reduction of the deficit is tied td a new building. “Expansion of our programs in and of itself will generate more revenue. But we can’t expand now, we can’t really enlarge our classes, not to rrtefetion offer any new programs because of space limitations,” Harris explained. A new building that allows fpr expanded programs plus increased fund raising efforts are two of the three solutions to the deficit problem, as Harris sees it. The third depends on luck. Hope Is Endowment “Our real hope is to sta Dilize the deficit through an endowment. I’m working on that possibility plus trying to get year-to-year grants for Sursum Corda. We could pool several grants so we could draw enough interest to meet our operational needs. I know I’m being an idealist again but I want the center to have a $100,000 endowment,” Harris said. Idealistic? Certainly. But then that’s nothing new for Camille Harris. She started Sursum Corda on a shoe string and a prayer in the damp basement of the old Washington Post Office.

A check of the outside of ■ the home will reveal where this type of job may be necessary. When inspecting a home for possible caulkipg jobs, watch for places tv'here air can leak out or In. These areas include Seams between chimneys and siding; the place where wood meets the foundation; and around door and window frames. Other important places to check include dryer vents; the area where storm windows meet window frames; exterior electrical outlets; seams between porch and house; and where the siding meets comer trim. Any other cracks, holes, or openings should also get a caulking job. It pays to use a good quality caulk. As in most other things, you get what you pay for. The cheaper caulks will shrink, crack, and dry out in a couple years. The better types — and they don’t cost too much more — will do a better, more efficient job, and last longer. Many builders recommend urethanecaulk as being the best. Caulking is a relatively easy job and any one can do it.

But the center has not only survived, it’s grown, achieved tax exempt status, attracted talented, energetic supporters to its board of directors and sent youngsters who are working way above grade level into kindergarten and first grade. “It’s a matter of faith. We’ve made it seven years, since the fall of 1976,” said Harris, assessing the future. “There’s so much more interest in the day care center now, so much more demand for its services now, I just can’t believe that we won’t make it. “Right now we’re at a critical point that will determine whether the school will survive. But we’ve been at that point before. I have a strong feeling that the center will continue,” Harris said. “Part of the reason for that confidence is the extremely dedicated and talented people we have serving on the board of directors. . . We just need one or two more lucky breaks — like what the Greve Foundation did for us last year. “I know that planning for a new building when we’re still not sure we have operational funds is like the cancer victim who’s told he has a year left to live and decides to start medical school.

Board To Join Disaster Team 1 he county s Board of Supervisors will play a part in responding to local disasters in the future. At last week’s board meeting, held December 5 at the court house, Deiter Knuepfer, coordinator for the county’s emergency and disaster planning, asked the supervisors to appoint representatives from the five magisterial districts to a damage assessment team which will work with an emergency board. That board includes Knuepfer, VPI agent Birgitt Thornhill and officials from the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee, Soil Conservation Service, state forestry division and Farmers Home Administration. This group will estimate damage caused by disasters such as windstorms, floods and droughts. For even a single house damaged by a tornado, the team will conduct a survey, Knuepfer noted. H. B. Wood's suggestion that the supervisor from each district serve on the damage assessment team was unanimously endorsed. Praise For Wood Wood himself was the subject of another proposal later in the meeting. “There’s something I want to respectfully suggest,” began Robert Eastham, speaking from the audience. ‘This is H. B. Wood’s last meeting.” (Wood did not seek reelection in November. As of January 1, the seat from Stonewall-Hawthorne will be filled by Nelson Lane.) “In view of the long service he has rendered to the county, especially in guarding the purse strings and advocating fiscal prudency, I think the board should pass a resolution in appreciation of his service,” said Eastham, adding that the action could be taken either immediately or after January 1. “I don’t think it would be appropriate now,” said Wood, blushing deeply. “I suggest we take this up after January 1,” agreed Latham. Election Wages Wood then turned around and demonstrated his “fiscal prudency” by voting against a wage increase for the county’s election officials. Relaying a request from electoral chairman Chris Parrish, clerk Diane Bruce asked that compensation be raised from $30 for workers and $40 for the chief at each of the six voting precincts to $50 and $60 respectively. (According to Parrish, the action was requested in order to bring payment up to approximately minimum enough money in the proper line item for the raise. “I think they deserve it for the amount of time and the hours they put in,” said Gilkey, noting that workers are at the polls from 5:30 a.m. to 2 a.m. the following morning on election days. “And it’s still a lot cheaper than having to buy voting machines,” he pointed out. Baldwin and Wood agreed that election officials, like members of the board of supervisors, are essentially volunteers, doing their jobs not for money but as a service to the county. “What 1 get paid doesn’t even cover what I have to pay somebody to take care of the store while Pm up here (at board meetings),” the Hampton District representative noted.

Inc Member Audit Bureau of Circulation V. Thursday, December 15,1983 A New Olympic Standard Set By KLGKNK YkCARTHY Kappah.inniM K ( olumnN A new standard for the selection of events to be included in the Olympics is coming into force. It is the “bottom line." We are indebted to one Andrew Strenk. identified as the resident historian on the staff of the 198-1 International Olympic Organizing Committee in Los Angeles, for this information. Now. a resident historian is an office of relatively recent creation. Traditionally historians were expected to come after the action, sometimes centuries later, reconstruct what had had happened, put it in order and interpret it. Today we have not only resident historians, but resident-pre-historians, ready to write instant history, or even history in advance. Corporations have company historians. And the Department of Defense carries contemporary historians. who are probably busynow writing the history of the victory in Grenada. But for the Olympics, the resident historian is an innovation. Strenk has been useful, not as an historian, but for his honesty in reporting the new standards for Olympic decisions. The compelling consideration as to which events will be included in the Olympic competition is. according to Strenk. "dollars and business sense.” "Behind the scenes" he reports, "The Olympic committee has to ask how many people will watch the sport? Can we sell out the stadium?” and (one must assume, above all or before all) “Is it adaptable to television?” The big money from or for the Olympics will come from television, with some supplemental contributions from Air-Lines, sporting goods and athletic equipment manufacturers and distributers. And, it seems, that the old saying “Who pays the piper, calls the Poet, author, former U. S. Senator from Minnesota and candidate for the presidency, Eugene McCarthy now lives in the F. T. Valley near Slate Mills tune" may again be tested, or as Nelson Rockefeller is reported to have said to Diego Rivera, the painter, who objected to making changes in his mural in the Rockefeller Building, "It’s my wall.”. •Just what television dominance and the application of “the bottom line” will do to the Olympics is somewhat unclear, but there are indications of what is to come when athletes run not for the “finish line” but for the “bottom line.” For example, in a recent Washington Redskins’ football game a kick-off was called back by the referee because he thought the television crews and announcers had not been ready, even though both teams had responded to the whistle. It is not that the Olympics have been pure and free of outside influence. The seeds of commercialism and of professionalism were present at the first meeting of the Greek athletes at Olympia in 77b B.C. Winning athletes were given not only wreaths and trophies, but free meals and a lifetime exemption from taxation. This could be a powerful motivation if given to L'.S. athletes. Three hundred years after the establishment of the Olympic games. Euripides, poet, playwright and athlete, wrote that “out of the tens of thousands of ills in Greece, none is worse than the tribe of professional athletes." In the modem version of the Olympics as revived in 1896 by Baron Pierre de Coubeitin. political influences. rather than economic ones, appear to have born strongly on the Olympics, affecting selection of events, eligibility of participants, referees, equipment, location. etc. The 1896 Olympic events were limited largely to the classical contests of speed, endurance, strength of the individual athletes. Team games were not included, or events involving the use of equipment, or props of various kinds. We have come a long way since that simple revival nearly one hundred years. This year sailing, kayaking, wind-surfing and judo will be a part of the competition. No one of these sports is likely to last long, unless it provides photo-opportunities and popular television watching support. Otherwise they are likely to go the way of some fifty events that have been included in one or more of past Olympics and then dropped: such activities as rope climbing, one-handed weight lifting, Indian club swinging, motor boating, fishing, the firing of large caliber cannons, tug of war, musical composition and even poetry, and holding one's breath under water, a contest conducted only once and won by a Frenchman who stayed submerged in the Science for 68 seconds. Whereas President Jimmy Carter took us out of the 1980 Summer Olympics for political reasons, we may anticipate a time when NBC may do the same for “bottom line” considerations. Permanent Injunction (Continued from Page 1 ) a club, they should not lose their individual rights, Dulaney asserted. The firing range would not be open to the public, Dulaney explained. It would be used by a limited number of men skilled in shooting who wanted to practice together and participate in competition. Baumgardner countered that the firing range was intended to be used by a private club. The zoning ordinance amendment simply says that a firing range in an agricultural zone needs a special use permit, he said. The ordinance does not limit this to commercial or public firing ranges, Baumgardner pointed out. Judge Robertson said he was satisfied that the ordinance is clear. The supervisors saw fit to limit firing ranges to agricultural zones, and not just commercial ones, but all firing ranges. Robertson added that one could “look to common parlance” to understand what the supervisors meant by a firing range. Konick Takes The Stand Zoning administrator David Konick testified that he had received a telephone complaint on Saturday, October 8. The caller told him that a firing range was under construction near Route <>40 in the Jackson Distnct. On Monday, Konick contacted Ryder Construction company and was told that the firm had been building a firing range for the Blue 11 idge Gun Shop on October <>-7. Konick then visited the property where he observed "large earthen berms and big bulldozer.” He said this was not the one the Ryder company had used, but another one. He also saw several shooting stands and Bowers “with several individuals with guns.” Konick then went to Settle’s house and learned that the club had leased the land from him for target shooting. While they were speaking, Konick said, "three or four shots cracked off the shooting stand.” "There wasn’t any doubt in my mind it was a firing range," he added. Firing ranges are not allowed in an agricultural zone without a special use permit, Konick explained, He said he had never received any application for a permit from Bowers or the club. Bowers knew about the zoning amendment, Konick added, because it was written at his request. Bowers had spoken with Konick in 19«1 about the possibility of having a firing range next to the gun shop. Konick said he told Bowers at the time that he would need to have tne property rezoned or else apply for a text change in the ordinance to allow firing ranges in an agricultural zone with a special use permit. Although the amendment was adopted, there have not been any applications made by anybody since, Konick said. Therefore, after his inspection, he wrote letters to the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors, saying that the sportsmen were engaged in an activity that required a special use permit and didn’t have one. Therefore, they were in violation, said Konick. Upon cross-examination, Konick told Mahon he had contacted neither Bowers nor Settle after writing the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors. Why hadn’t he contacted Bowers, Mahon asked. Flagrant Violation Konick answered that he was sure Bowers knew about the ordinance. “It was a flagrant and intentional violation and there wasn’t much sense in contacting him,” said Konick. Dulaney asked whether Ryder might have said he had done the construction work for the Rappahannock Sportsmen’s Club rather than for Blue Ridge Guns. “Ryder made it perfectly (Continued on Page 14) -Our Rappahannock Heritage t eV*et ^ be«^ers c^^e^Ae V *rt*^o ^ <o.e ** ><* »■. ^eSetV,\e^ to °U ^teJ. ^ S^' frot^ „ \s-^ e^et‘ .

I looked in vain throughout your editorial for reference to whom we should give thanks. Did you mean we should give thanks to the trees which beautify our mountains or should we thank the mountains upon which they subsist? Shouldn’t we also thank the clouds for sprinkling our land and keeping it green? And don’t forget the sun for lighting up the landscape that we may see the beauty. Thanks implies a recipient of the thanks for benefits bestowed. Thanking nature is like . thanking the surgeon’s knife for a successful operation. You know very well that nature and its beauty of which you speak is only the manifestation of the Creator. There are some who would claim that the creation of nature is a long chemical process abuilding for thousands of years. Others, even the most primative and ancient societies, believed in a spiritual creator or creators. We extol the wisdom and knowledge of our founding Fathers who served this beautiful land over 200 years ago and gave us a constitution under which we could (can) retain it. Those same wise men again and again in official letters, documents and proclamations avowed the goodness of the Creator and never hesitated in proclaiming God the gift giver. Come now, are you too afraid to mention God publicly, fearing a dubious violation of church and state separation or perhaps hurting the “credibility” of certain Harvard scientists? Let us all stand up, you too, and thank God who, over a long period of time, created this beautiful and bountiful land that all generations may preserve it and enjoy it. WILLIAM CARRIGAN Washington Suit Threatened lo the editor: Several months ago you published in your little paper an interview you had with Edna Mills and reported a falsehood about me. I did not take issue with this because most people I know take your paper as a joke anyway. But now that you have put this lie in a book for the purpose of making money I plan legal action. It appears to me you have no right to publish anything in a book for profit about a person without their permission and certainly without checking to find out whether it is the truth. The only truth in what you published was I set the broomsedge on fire. Edna Mills did not report it neither did I have to give up recess for the balance of the year. I anticipate filing a lawsuit against you and the Rappahannock News in the near future. EARL R. YANCEY ViewtowTn P.S. In the future don’t use mv name in your paper for any reason.

By GEORGE BOWLES The Virginia Electric and Power Co. efforts to saddle its customers with the cost of a multimillion dollar nuclear reactor planning blunder could place at risk another of Vepco’s pet projects, the controversal coal slurry pipeline. Hearings held before the State Corporation Commission last week illustrated, once again, the power company’s monumental “chutzpah.” (This is the quality best illustrated by the case of the boy who, after having been convicted of murdering his parents, asks the court for leniency because he is an orphan.) What Vepco is seeking is a $650 million rate hike bail-out over the next 10 years. The money would be used to cover the loss the company sustained by its allegedly belated closedown of nuclear reactor No. 3 at its North Anna plant in Louisa County. Vepco’s critics say the company erred by continuing work on the reactor long after it became clear that its construction was not economically feasible. Vepco had already cancelled reactor No. 4 at North Anna as well as two other reactors at its Surry station in the Tidewater. The rate increase Vepco seeks would be used to finance the shutdown of the project and - get this - to pay the company’s 214,000 stockholders a re- \ turn on the “unamortized balance.” According to an SCC spokesman, that, in plain English, means the amount of funds actually spent on the defunct reactor. It seems Vepeo prefers to think of this money as an investment which should yield a return to its stockholders! Consumer advocates shake their heads in disbelief at what they see as a brazen effort by the company to not only pass on to its customers the costs incurred by the misjudgment of its officials, but to make a profit on their mistakes in the bargain. So what has this to do with the coal slurry pipeline? The proponents who want to build the line include Vepeo and other utilities. They contend that the pipeline, which would transport coal in the form of slurry (coal granules mixed with water), would greatly reduce the cost of shipment from the coalfields of western Virginia to the coal-fired power generators in the east. The utilities say the coal could be piped for just over $6 per ton as opposed to the $19 per ton it costs to move it by rail. The line, they assure us, while costing about $1 billion, would enable the utilities to slash rates because of cheaper fuel transportation costs. Needless to say, the railroads are up in arms over the prospect because revenue from hauling coal is vital to the fiscal health of the rail industry in the state. Besides, the railroads argue, the per ton cost of moving coal through the pipes would come to far more than $6, and the cost of the line itself would be nearer $2 billion than $1 billion. The next battleground over the pipeline issue will be in the 1984 General Assembly which convenes for its 60-day session on Jan. 11. In order for the utilities to build the line a state law must be changed which, at the present time, prevents them from acquiring the needed rights-of-way across Virginia. The statute prohibits utilities from exercising the right of eminent domain, or condemnation, to acquire the rights-of-way, and they are expected to amount an all-out campaign during the legislative session to have the law repeated or altered. The issue will pit the state's two most powerful lobbying giants, the utilities and the railroads, against each other in what promises to be one of the stormiest battles of the 1984 legislature. A question which is sure to be raised will center on Vepco’s management record. Can a company which critics say made a half-billion dollar hash of its nuclear plant cost and operating projects be trusted to be any more accurate in similar projections concerning the billion dollar coal slurry pipeline? In other words, will allowing the pipeline to be built expose the ratepayers to a massive rate hike to finance its building, and then perhaps another later on to pay for the mistake if Vepeo finds it has again misread the economic tea leaves? It’s something which should concern the lawmakers. Growing numbers of their constituents are wondering just how much longer they can afford to have Vepeo save money for them. Last Chance There’s still time for individuals and groups who want to send a message 100 years into the future to coming generations in Rappahannock County. But the time is running short. This is the final week for submission of material for the county’s time capsule which will be sealed before the New Year and not reopened for 100 years. The time capsule project was organized as part of observations of the county’s sesquicentennial in 1983. The vault encased in a stone pyramid on the grounds of the library already contains letters, reports, essays, photographs and histories submitted by civic groups, churches, school children and adults. Primarily, the material deals with what life is like today in Rappahannock County. Anyone who wants to participate in sending a message to posterity can get further information from Mary Botts Quaintance, Grace Sims, Lucia Kilby or William Carrigan. Material may be delivered to the Rappahannock News office through December 23.

By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Who speaks for the animals? Who speaks for the mute creatures of field and forest who can’t tell man of the threat he presents, often unknowingly, to their lives? This Friday at Rappahannock’s elementary school and high school, Ed Clark will be that messenger. He will be spokesman for the Shenandoah Valley Wildlife Treatment and Rehabilitation Center’s aggressive campaign to educate the public about the problems facing wildlife in Virginia. That educational campaign goes hand in hand with the center’s veterinary treatment and rehabilitation for sick, injured and orphaned w'ildlife. “We treat symptoms on the operating table, not the real problem. The real problem is human interaction and interference with wildlife. The symptoms arise from loss of habitat, environmental poisoning, injuries caused by roaming pets, malicious shootings,” Clarke said. Through a slide show, his educational program brings alive the trauma to wildlife caused by man’s carelessness and cruelty. “It becomes more than theoretical when you see a faw n w'hose leg has been ripped open by marauding dogs,” he said. “Or when you see the face of an animal in pain,” added Nancy Sheffield, Clarke’s wife and co-worker at the center.

The staff at the center does not tame the animals or transform wild creatures into pets. Instead, injured wildlife is treated with the goal of return to the wilds. Center’s Beginning “It started out as a fantasy, then became a dare and finally ended up a reality,” Clarke explained. The story sounds like a fairy tale but a tale still looking for the happy ending of financial stability. “On our first wedding anniversary, Nancy and I stopped by to visit our friends, Stuart and Terry Porter. He’s a wildlife specialist, a veterinarian who’s worked for zoos in Texas, Tennessee and Baltimore and now heads the veterinary technician department at Blue Ridge Community College. She’s a vet tech,” Clarke explained. Stuart Porter was frustrated. His reputation as a wildlife doctor had led game wardens and lay rehabilitators to his door at the college. He could treat the sick or injured animals they brought but he had no control over their eventual rehabilitation. “He either had to euthanize the animals because he had no place to take care of them or else treat them and return them to people who didn’t really know what they were doing, even though they meant well,” Clarke recalled. Porter was wishing he had somewhere to keep the wild creatures until they could 1 Who Speaks For The Animals? survive on their own and Ed Clarke was teasing the veterinarian about being too lazy to start such a facility. “He turned it around and said ‘You set up the program and I’ll take care of the animals’ and the next thing we knew, our wives were involved and we realized we had the core we needed to begin - a doctor, two veterinary technicians and a professional conservation fund raiser and manager.” The backgrounds and interests couldn’t have meshed any better. Ed had worked for the Conservation Council of Virginia and the Environmental Task Force based in Washington, D.C. He and Nancy had moved back to her home in the Valley after she earned her degree as veterinary technician. Ed was doing consulting work for national conservation groups and she was employed at a local animal hospital. Born and raised in Rappahannock County, Clarke has. his roots in the Virginia wilds. “I’ve always been interested in wildlife. I hunted with my uncle as soon as I was big enough to carry a gun and we spent weekends and vacations in the mountains of Pennsylvania. I literally grew up in the mountains,” Clarke said, adding, however, that he no longer hunts. “I’m not philosophically opposed to sport hunting. It just seems inconsistent with the rest of what I’m trying to do.” They had access to the veterinary clinic through Stuart Porter’s connections with Blue Ridge College. Ed and Nancy had a large barn on their property that could be remodeled into a rehabilitation center and the four of them could share the work. They were off. They talked to officials of Virginia’s Game and Fish division, ornithologists, other veterinarians who were wildlife experts, leaders of local SPCA groups. They got a permit from both the state Game Commission and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to receive, hold, treat and house wild animals. “We set a record for getting our tax exempt status. The IRS had our application in the morning and our exemption was granted that afternoon. It usually takes months but we found an animal lover in the office who expedited things for us,” said Ed, the expert at working around the old beaurocratic shuffle. MASH Unit Donated One of the Valley’s local governments donated an entire civil defense field hospital — “a full MASH unit” — that had been stored, airtight and in mint condition, in an old warehouse. Area hospitals contributed surplus equipments. WaynTex, Inc. of Waynesboro gave synthetic mesh for two 70-foot flight cages, Southern Electric Company of Staunton gave electrical supplies and the University of Virginia Medical School contributed three dozen small animal cages and a continuing supply of rats and mice to feed the recovering patients. A doctor, a total stranger who had seen Ed’s program at a local game show, came back with expensive equipment for monitoring vital signs of animals on the operating table. And the animals started to arrive — 270 of them since the center opened last i WILDLIFE treated at the center in the past year included two fawns who had been attacked by dogs, a baby gray fox who was the sole survivor after a bulldozer rolled over the den that housed his mother and litter mates, a young great homed owl who fell from a nest and a baby robin who had been attacked by cats. November. Fifty four different species of birds and mammalsLXand a couple of snakes).r^lost of our patients have been birds,” Clarke noted. “Injured birds are easier to spot, easier to catch. Mammals can hop away on three legs or drag themselves away on two.” The animals are usually treated and diagnosed by Porter at Blue Ridge College or at the animal hospital in Waynesboro where Sheffield is employed. “Nancy’s boss. Dr. Robert Partridge, is our consulting vet. He's a skilled surgeon and works for the center for free,” Ed noted. After treatment, the animals are taken to the remodeled barn on Sheffield’s family’s farm for long term care and recuperation, physical therapy and hunting and flight training. Certifiable Miracle The story of the center’s first certifiable miracle illustrates how the system works. She was an adult female redtail hawk that had been shot between the wrist and elbow of her wing. “She was taken to the Charlottesville SPCA. It was the year before we opened. They put her in a cage. They knew what to feed her but not how to treat her wounds. They managed to keep her alive but they didn’t splint her wing,” Clarke said. “They were scared to go in the cage with her. The bones healed at a 90 degree angle. Her wing was horribly deformed: she couldn’t fly.” After the center announced its opening, several area SPCA’s, including the group in Charlottesville, sent their wild animals. The crippled red tail was one of the new patients. “She was The simple, simple oven for busy, busy people Big on performance compact in size!

CULPEPER 825 9520 Randolph Kinsey - Owner x-rayed and we decided she looked like a pood candidate for a newly developed surgical technique — a bone reconstruction operation using a new nylong pin developed especially for the hollow bones of birds. We think we were the first in the state to try it — maybe even the firest in the eastern I'.S. except for the Memphis, Tennessee, zoo where they discovered the pin," Clarke reported. Dr. Partridge went into the old injury, dismantled the bone, removed the deformation and put in the pin. “The wing healed straight but she hadn’t flown in two years. We had to teach her to fly. We had to rebuild her muscles and get her into top shape,” Clarke said. Four months of constant rehabilitation began. First the hawk was flown on a short tether. “We were running with the bird on a leash and we realized that we were the only ones getting any exercise,” Clarke recalled. “So we tried her on a surf fishing reel with a 30 pound test line. She could flyout 100 yards and we didn’t even break a sweat.” The hawk improved and on the past July 4th weekend, the center’s workers decided she was ready to fly alone. “She’d been a caged cripple for two and a half years. It seemed an appropriate time to restore her independence,” Sheffield added. Freed from the line, the red tail flew 3(H) to 400 yards to a tree and sat there overnight while her anxious caretakers kept vigil. Then at 8 a.m., the next morning, she flew to a tree further in the woods. “The next day, our neighbor saw her swoop out of the tree, kill a mouse and fly back up. She’d made it!" Sheffield reported. The hawk could live as a wild thing because of the approach used at the center during treatment and rehabilitation. “We try to minimize human contact. The animals don’t ever get friendly — we don’t allow it — but they do lose some of their fear and that’s bad,” Sheffield said. "So we give them remedial fright training. We smack around them with newspapers until they’re afraid of humans again," Clarke explained. Sheffield and Clarke have legions of horror stories about man's inhumanity to wild creatures. They range from the unthinking — a fawn believed to tie abandoned but actually kidnapped from under the watchful eye of mother deer hidden in the trees nearby — to the unbelievable — a baby skunk captured from the wild who has had his scent glands sliced away with a pocket knife in a home "operation" without anesthesia. “It’s a window on wildlife. We see the victims of every type of hazard that wild animals face," Clarke said. And that’s where his role comes in. He’s the educator trying to explain to the public how to reduce those hazards. "We reach about 1,000 people a month with our education program. Over 4<>,000 since may have been our slide program and over half of them are elementary students,” Clarke said. “We’re creating born-again conservationists."

Local Runners Finish Well At Turkey Ridge The course mark has been established for the 7.3 mile Turkey Ridge Run that went off from the Castleton fire hall for the first time on December 3. Paul Baltatisof Vint Hill Farms now holds the record in 42 minutes and 23 seconds. Frank Reynolds, Rappahannock resident and perennial winner of the coveted Eva B. Smith award for the first county runner in the Fodderstack Classic, was second in 43:44. Third was William Baker in 47:09. As in the men's open division, it was an out-of-thecounty contestant who took first among women runners with a Rappahannock woman second. Laura Maher finished in 52:29, followed by RCHS track and cross country coach Ann Spieker in 58:57 and Judy Beattie in 59:08. Missing from the ranks of runners were upper classmen from the county high school’s cross country contingent who had promised to give the “old folks” some tough competition. Unfortunately, College Boards we;e held the same day and those examinations so critical to college acceptance took priority over Turkey Ridge. The younger RCHS team members who showed up all took high honors, however. Maria Roemer, first in the 14 and under division for girls, covered the course in 70:47. A crowd favorite in that group was six-year-old Caroline Jackson who completed 2'/i miles and then finished the rest in back of a pick-up truck.

Owls Beat Orange Panthers Put Second In Loss Column By jim McCullough Rappahannock News Sports Writer The Rappahannock Panthers lost their second basketball game in a row last Friday against coach Doyle Dawson’s alma mater, William Monroe, 46-59. It was an intense but one-sided contest. The Panthers wer once again plagued by fouls and sent the Dragons of Monroe to the line 34 times. Monroe further added to the Panthers’ dilemma by making good on 21 of those 34 attempts. Dawson also attributed the loss to the failure of his squad to run plays properly or listen to the coach’s instructions. They will win when those problems are corrected, he said. “But it was the fouls that really lost the game. We took as many free throws as they made,” the coach added. “The game would have been close but for the free throws. They only made one more field goal than we did.” i Wakefield School ended its 1983 Soccer Season December 5 with a 5-1 win over Orange County, in a game dominated by the Owl offense and featuring the goalie skills of Junior Paul Packman. This brought the season record to a “satisfactory” 7-3-2 conclusion, said coach Ulrich Maeyer. This is the German instructor’s first season at Wakefield. Following other season wins over Tandem, Seton Hall, Randolph Macon Academy and Rappahannock, Maeyer feels the team has mastered basic ball control and passing accuracy. “My first step in 1984,” he said “will be to teach the team to Johnson't Bakery See Us For Your Christmas Bakery needs 130 E.

Twti of the Owl defeats were at the hands (or feet) of powerful St. James Academy, a large private school in Hagerstown, Md. Maeyer pointed out that the St. James teams are augmented by a number of strong British and German players. The Owls 4-3 rematch loss 'to Rappahannock’s fierce and fired-up Panthers was the most bitter defeat, owing to the intra-county rivalry between the two teams: “They wanted it j more than we did and they deserved to win because they fought better,” said Maeyer of the match. “Wakefield cannot win against an aggressive team simplV by playing good soccer. We have to hustle and play well.” Even more than w ith the solid season record, Maeyer announced price in his team’s behavior both on and off the field. “I try to motivate the team to play tough and aggressive soccer, but in the first place I want them to be good sportsmen. I’m happy to say that I saw not one intentional foul by our players all season.” REDSKIN FEVER spread from thaT other Washington to the first Washington on D-Day, sparking displays of support like this Cowboy hung in effigy.

Rappahannock Farmers Co-op Sperryville, Va. 987-8555 The contest began with both teams at emotional peaks. RCHS guard Jeff Porter started Rapp off with a drive for two from the opening tip but William Monroe came right back with a three point play to claim the lead. It never belonged to the Panthers again. Rappahannock let the margin steadily widen. On their possessions, the Panthers threw the ball up too hard and, on target or not, it would not fall through the hoop. The RCHS cold snap led the Dragons to a 15-9 advantage at the end of the first quarter. William Monroe set off the second quarter by scoring immediately. But the Panthers weren’t about to fold yet. They tried and tried to take the lead back, cutting the margin to the lowest of the night. Monroe scored 16 points to Rapp’s 15 but still maintained a seven point, 31-24, lead at the half. It looked as though the Panthers still had a chance. However, William Monroe had an opportunity to stage a dramatic come back. The Dragons made only six points in the period. But the Panthers could not capitalize. Instand, they did just the opposite, falling further behind and scoring only an embarrassing four points themselves. They repeated their opening game third quarter jinx, going scoreless for five long minutes. They finally found the basket with one minute left but then allowed the Dragons’ top scorer, Mike Shiflett, to slip open with 45 seconds to go to erase the effort. The ouarter ended with William Monroe at 37 and Rappahannock at 28. The Dragons then blew the game wide open, starting the fourth period with an “alley-oop” to Shiflett who went on to score eight more points to hit his game high of 19. Monroe continued to wear down Rapp’s defense by setting picks to give their shooters a free path to the basket. RCHS hopes were squelched when key forward Clarence Pendleton picked up his fourth foul after being tagged and with three in the first two minutes of the third quarter. The Panthers tried to make up too much too soon, forcing poor shots and committing careless turnovers. The Dragons stretched the difference to 49-34 before both coaches cleared their benches with just a few minutes left. Then came one of Rappahannock’s only bright spots of the night. The Panther bench scored four unanswered points and The Dragons’ starting five came back on the court and still the RCHS subs managed to cut the lead to 13 at the buzzer, leading the tally at 59-46. Tommy Jenkins led the Panthers’ scoring with 13 points followed by Porter with 12 and Mike DelGrosso with eight. Junior Panthers Drop Another By jim McCullough Rappahannock News Sports Writer Rappahannock’s junior varsity basketball squad . was overwhelmed by William Monroe in last Friday’s away contest. The k Dragons outscored the Panrthers by 20 points. Rapp’s ' JV just couldn’t stop Harold Sims, Monroe’s top man who racked up 17 points. The Panthers started off on the wrong foot and stayed on it for the entire Igame. They turned the ball over on their first three possessions and allowed Monroe to convert the steal into points each time. It wasn’t until the clock showed 2:30 reft in the first period that Panther Craig Williams put Rapp on the board. But the damage was already done. The quarter ended with the score 12-4 in the Dragons’ favor. The second quarter was more of the same. The Panthers stood around on offense and defense and Monroe’s coach emptied his bench with 1:10 left in the half and the scoreboard showing 27-12. Walter Frye, returning from an injury, gave RCHS fans a reason to cheer in the third quarter when he scored three points and captured a steal.

Rappahannock County School News Mini-Courses Completed RCES teacher Susan" Wittl says pupils have completed a month of afterschool mini-courses in a variety of subjects. Creative writing pupils submitted original stories to “Stone Soup” and “Cricket” magazines. They also took a field trip to Diane Wood’s house to see how an author would use a word processor. The architecture class studied environmental planning. They planted trees in front of the school as one of their projects. Wittl says the models class produced some fine miniatures. The cooking class sampled their own pizza, doughnuts and tacos and then compiled their recipes into a book. They also served their parents an exciting spaghetti dinner.

Piper Pushing Pleasure Reading » iic oiiiiu v ai t ix Learning Center December 19-23 Monday Grilled cheese sandwiches, buttered lima beans, sweet potatoes, carob brow ROES principal Maggie Piper worked with read ing lab director Mike Connifev and various teachers “with marvelous ideas” to put together a special program for “Virginia Reading Month.” Reading month opened officially at high noon on December 1 in Richmond when public school students staged a balloon launch near the State Department of Education. Each balloon carried a message encouraging children to read. People who find these balloons are asked to return them to the schools from which they came. The department’s supervisor of reading and coordinator for the statewide reading month, La Verne Byrd-Smith, said the event relates directly to current national concerns about excellence in education. Governor Charles S. Robb officially designated December as “Virginia Reading Month’’ as he did last vear and his wife Lynda Robb again serves' as honorary chairman. As a member of the national executive committee of Reading is Fundamental, Mrs. Robb is an ardent supporter of more reading programs in the schools. The Rappahannock school board officially declared county participation in the observance after a report from superintendent Robert Estabrook at the November 8 board meeting. Piper said the elementary school reading committee which consists of Connifey and teacher Lynn Myrtle drafted a list of activities. The month started off on December 1 with teachers and students being invited to come to school dressed as their favorite book character.

Other plans included trimming a Christmas tree with handmade book covers, posting charts in the halls on which pupils grade the books they’ve read on a scale of A-F, and “Book Slogan Week.” A winning slogan to encourage reading will be chosen in each classroom and these were to be read last week during the morning announcements. The last 20 minutes of each Thursday during the month was to be “read in peace” time (RIP), Piper said. On Fridays, each teacher was to devote time to reading a favorite story to the class. High school librarian Elizabeth Scott said the reading lab classes would participate in oral interpretation and dramatics during Virginia Reading Month and the English classes would participate in RIP (read in peace) such as at the elementary school. Scott said certain times during the English classes will be designated for RIP at the teachers’ discretion. Other activities include a book exchange at the library where students may trade old books for others which were donated for that purpose. Also the FHS club is sponsoring a reading period at the kindergarten. Club members would read to the younger children at least once during December, Scott said. mes, milk.

He’s Castleton’s new fire chief starting the first of January. Last week the department also re-elected Louise as captain, Jimmy Cannon treasurer, Marty Cannon secretary and John Wayne Settle president. Sadie and Carroll Fox recently returned from a trip to the southern states. They went to Kentucky and Tennessee to see relatives. Sunday they visited Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Fox, Jr., at Annandale, and ended up helping to sell Christmas trees to raise money for their church. Speaking of trees, Aunt Michele has a wild cedar from the backwoods of Castleton. It’s a gift from a friend who turned her loose on the property with no native guide. She took along seven-year-old Tracy Hitt to choose and mother Judy to chop — and such an adventure! First they waded across a cold, cold river; then they climbed over a barbed wire fence; then they walked up the side of a mountain dodging thorns the whole time. They quickly found the right tree and cut it, but the return trip with tree held high was equally perilous. Then they had to drag it through a cow pasture being careful to avoid unwanted decorations, tie it into the car and speed through the mud (so as not to get stuck) to the main road and back to their host’s house. But the tree is beautiful and well worth the extra effort. That Cat likes to sleep with his nose near the tree at night and dream he’s deep in the wild woods. J. T. says Donna Sheads and Wallie and Dorenda came over for theirs Sunday evening. They wouldn’t have any other kind than a homegrown Castleton Christmas tree. Melzie and J. T. went to the nursing home in Culpeper Sunday night to visit his 86-year-old uncle Johnny Huffman. Dale and Walter Grimsley and Andy had come over earlier for Sunday dinner. Congratulations to Gene Fisher! He recently received his silver platter to commemorate his tenth year with the Rochester Company. Now he’s working towards the sugar bowl and creamer. Sixteen-year-old Johnny Moyle says his job hunt is going well; he’s had a couple of offers, but he’s still available for plenty of house and yard work. The high school junior says he needs Christmas money. He’s a good worker — call 937-5675 after four. He has his own transportation. It’s a 1934 Dodge truck that will be the object of David Konick’s attentions on his birthday Saturday. He’s been meaning to get out to the garage to work on it for quite a while. Actually,-^ what he would really like for his birthday is the 1924 doctors’ coupe from the Luray travel museum, but he’ll have to settle for our good wishes. Old Charlie Hitt used to say that this is the time of the year kids used to hide their long-johns under the bushes; they used to itch when they were new\ And “ ’tis the season to send for a hogshead of mead and settle down in a hall full of friends to sing songs and tell stories” — but remember what Aunt Michele says, “The more anybody wants a thing, the more he does think others want it.” News From Flint Hill By POLLY N.

Rappakannock Journal •Farm •Business •Garden •Rural Life Vickers Named To VPI Post By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON KappahunniH-k News Staff Wrili r Florence Vickers, Rappahannock’s new home demonstration and 4-H agent with VPI’s extension programs, is no stranger to country life. A native of West Virginia, Vickers grew up on her parents’ dairy farm in Martinsburg, a junior pamter in the business of milking the herd of 110. "Everybody helps on a family farm," she noted. In addition to regular milking and gardening chores, she and her sister shared responsibility for 500 laying hens who produced the eggs her mother delivered to town every Friday. Vickers earned an undergraduate degree in home economics and then taught home ec for three years before returning to school at the University of West Virginia for a masters degree in family resources. “That’s just a fancy term for home ec," she added with one of the broad smiles that’s part of her round-the-clock attire. She sent but job-queeries to extension programs in states along the East Coast. "Virginia at first refused to even give me an application because of the hiring freeze Cash For Legal Grass By MICHELE MAY Kappa hit niMM'k News Staff Writer WTfPYi the state’s soil conversation officials announced last spring that farmers would be paid ten cents a foot for planting grass along waterways, it didn’t sound like much money to city folks. But Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation director W. Clifford Latham says it adds up. And he gave checks to five Rappahannock farmers recently to prove it. .James F. Massie received his first installment last week, but was more interested in the benefits the filter strips were providing his streams than in the money. Massie said his st lips of grass planted at Meadow Grove Farm along Big Battle Run and Little Battle Creek are a start here towards clearer and purer water throughout the but then four positions opened that they couldn’t fill internally. Vickers chose to apply for the northern most slot—Rappahannock. Impressed by the beauty of the county and the friendliness of the people here, she's still chuckling over what was, in essence, the luck of the draw. At last week’s board meeting, the county supervisors gave unanimous approval to the acceptance of Vickers’ appointment. “I think she’s very qualified and would work very well in the county," said VPI agricultural extension agent Birgitt Thornhill of this nominee. With three years of teaching and a masters degree in home economics behind her, Vickers obviously has the experience for the half of her job that entails working with the county’s home demonstration clubs. She has an equally impressive background in 4-H programs which comprise the second half of her responsibilities. Although she doesn’t officially begin her job here until this Friday, she was in the extension office earlier in the week, working on lists of possible volunteers leaders for community 4-H clubs. state. Massie pointed to pollution in the Chesapeake Bay as an extreme example of what he’s trying to stop. The grass filter strips are buffers to absorb chemicals from water runoff before it enters the streams. Used along the banks of waterways, grass, fescue and clover can trap soil particles and protect against scour and erosion as well as filtering out fertilizers, pesticides and micorganisms that would otherwise pollute the water. In addition, the vegetative cover offers food and travelways for wildlife that live along the streams. The end result, conservationists say, is a more stable environment and a more attractive landscape. The filter strips must be at least 12 feet wide and should average 20 feet in width.

Vickers was a member of 4-H for 13 years and then served first as a volunteer and later as paid staff in West Virginia’s county and area summer camps. “1 did anything and everything that needed to be done. As assistant director or third in command, I led songs and games, officiated for sports, taught dancing and crafts ana was a cottage counselor. Sometimes I even filled in as camp cook.” she added, laughing. “1 refereed arguments and was unofficial therapist for homesick kids.” Repeating what she told the supervisors last week, Vickers affirmed, ‘i very much believe in extension work.” Winter Arrives On December 22 at 5:30 a.m. EST, the sun reaches the southern most point in its annual journey and winter begins for the northern hemisphere. According to Dr. Paul H. Knappenberger, Jr., director of the Science Museum of Virginia, the sun cleared in an environmentally sound manner, graded, disced, fertilized and seeded with a state approved mixture of plants appropriate for the Piedmont region. Those wishing to enhance wildlife habftat may choose an appropriate mixture of orchard grass, lespedeza and clover. The grass must be properly maintained, protected from livestock, and not driven over with cars or farm equipment that would leave wheel marks. All of this care paid off locally. Latham said he had issued checks for John Dixon in Amissville, Wade H. and Mike Massie in Washington, Robert Turman in Sperryville, James F. Massie in Amissville, and the Mt. Vernon Stock Farm at Sperryville. Not a bad showing for a first year program and a promising trend for local resources. now stands directly above the Tropic of Capricorn and the north pole of Earth is pointed maximally away from the sun. “This means that the sun is above the horizon for the shortest amount of time this year, followed by the longest night,” Knappenberger explained. On this day, the altitude of the sun at noon is as low as it will be any time of the year and the sun traces its lowest path across the sky. In Virginia, the maximal altitude of the sun will be about 30 degrees above the horizon. At the Arctic circle the sun will just touch the horizon at high noon and the night will be 20 hours' long. The Science Museum examines another important astronomical event— the appearance of a special light in the sky 2000 years ago—during the planetarium program, ‘The Star of Christmas.” The program is being presented through January 2 as part of the special UN IV ERSE Planetarium/Space Theater holiday show which also features the I max film “Snow Job.” Three to six shows are scheduled daily at the museum on 2500 West Broad Street, Richmond.

Day, of Washington, will be working with small businesses throughout Northern Virginia as a newly appointed SCORE ("Service Corps of Retired Executives) counselor. Day says his area will go from WALTER DAY Winchester and Luray to Manassas. Day will work with people who want to start or improve their small businesses, he says. The free counseling service is the biggest form of aid now offered through the Small Business Administration. The direct loan program “has been cut so badly” that it now offers economic aid largely to only three categories of small businessemen. Day says. They are Viet Nam era veterans, disabled veterans of any war, and applicants with any permanent handicap. “In today’s economy there’s been a reduction in lending due to high inter FHA Program Announced Rappahannock County was declared eligible for Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) disaster emergency loans on November 18. Generally, that means fanners who have lost at least 30 percent production due to drought are eligible to apply for FmHA loans. Proceeds from crop insurance and the Payment-InKind (PIK) program are taken into consideration when determining eligibility. Additional eligibility requirements are the inability to obtain credit from commercial lenders, security to cover the loan request and repayment ability for the loan. The loan amount is based on 80 percent of the applicant’s actual losses or the amount needed to continue in business. The maximum loan amount is $500,000. The interest rate is 5 percent on up to $100,000 and 8 percent on the balance. The last day for accepting applications is May 18, 1984. For further information contact FmHA at 825-4200.

On the other hand, the SCORE counseling service, organized in 1%4, is available to all small businesses at no cost. SBA information officers say SCORE is unique in government — a volunteer organization made up of retired or active business executives willing to counsel small business managers for no compensation. SCORE volunteers receive only travel expenses. They help people wanting to start new businesses or those who are already in trouble. Sometimes they need help, but don’t know what kind of help. Day says. They think they have financial problems, but those problems are really a matter of manV agement. They may have a good product, hut no market, he says. They may hve a busy intersection with no parking. They forget to "buy low and sell high." SCORE volunteers can give practical advice based on their own business experience. They’re also qualified to offer procurement assistance to assure small businesses of their fair share in obtaining federal funds. Day has a special knowledge of SB A requirements because he is a former district director of the agency’s Salt Lake City, Utah office. He has also served as a procurement specialist in the central office of the SB A. Day holds a B.S. degree in engineering from the II.S. Naval Academy where he was a classmate of Jimmy Carter. He graduated in 194(5. Recently he served for 11 years as an engineering officer for the F.S. Marine Corps. Day has also owned and operated a small const ruction company in Virginia specializing in sewage systems and water supplies as well as a working farm. Mis engineering positions include work for American Machine and Foundry Company in Tuscon, Arizona; working with firms in Northern Virginia with NASA and corps of engineers contracts, and as a consultant in contract administ ration. I lay holds t lie patent on a quick acting fuel adapter. His community involvement is as an alcoholism counselor and a water colorist. A recent resident of Salt Fake City, Day has returned to Rappahannock where he lives near Flint Hill.

Who Speaks For The Animals? (Continued from Page 5) to a junior high school in Southwest Virginia. “1 always start off by asking how many have BB guns. No one raised a hand. Then this boy in the back — obviously the tough guy. the macho leader of the group — announced that they didn’t mess with the kid stuff, that they had rifles and shotguns. They all just grinned when I asked how many of them had ever shot a bird for fun and how many had ever tried to imagine how the bird felt.” Despite the cool response, Clarke went on w ith his slide show and as the finale, introduced R.T., his red tail hawk traveling companion and assistant, a bird permanently crippled by a hunter's shot and unable to be returned to the wild. “A few months later. 1 was back in the same area and this kid came up to me, asking if I remembered him. It was the boy from the back of that classroom. He announced that he hadn’t shot a bird since that day, that he never would again and that he'd told his uncles and brothers they ought to stop too! And he asked me how ITT. w as doing. "That makes it all worth while,” Clarke continued. “When you know you've reached somebody, that someone has heard what you're trying to say." Money, Money, Money The educational effort is half of Kd Clark's job. The other half is fund raising. The center receives no government support at all, either from state or federal sources. “We hoped to get help from the Game Commission but while they’re behind w hat we’re doing, they see us as a veterinary program primarily, dealing with individual animals, while their prime concern is endangered species, not endangered individuals.” Clarke explained. "We look to the sportsmen of this state for support. They should be our strongest allies," said Clarke, emphasizing that the center is in no way opposed to legal hunting of wildlife, or to the hunters who shot game for sport. "But those who deliberately shoot an ospry, an owl, a hawk or some other protected species aren’t hunters. It’s people in the woods with guns and not sportsmen doing this," he maintained. "We're creating born-again conservationists." Hunters have a stake, however, in what the center is trying to achieve, particularly in its efforts to educate the public, Clarke believes. “Evervtime another animal is maliciously or illegally shot and a landowner posts his property against hunting, the sportsmen lose." He’s hoping that sportsmen and other conservationists will do more than give moral support to the center's programs, veterinary and educational. He hopes that support will take the more tangible form of monetary contributions. “We need $3,000 a month to operate and right now, we can’t meet next months’ payroll. One hundred percent of those dollars go to veterinary services and educational programs. We have no overhead except our phone bill,” Clarke reported. “We have the facility, all the equipment we need. Now we’re turning to the public for gas to run the machine.” Clarke hopes to find volunteers to serve on a board of advisors for the center — a fund raising, promotional and advisory board. There’s one qualification for membership. “Each of them must pledge to help us raise $3,000.” Warner Is Chairman Already, Virginia Senator John Warner has accepted an invitation to serve as chairman of that board. “I consider the work of the cen Rappahannock News Photo/D Hutchinson STILL WITH A WILD GLINT IN HER EYE, R.

L along n the educational programs he presents in the center’s behalf. ter to be one of the most significant efforts in the field of wildlife conservation in Virginia today,” Warner wrote Clarke in a letter accepting i the chairmanship. “I wholeheartedly endorse the ef- | forts of the Wildlife Center j to treat and rehabilitate wild > creatures which have been injured or displaced, too often at the hands of humans. I also feel that your educa- ; tional programs will do much to prevent the needless suffering of wild birds and animals which results from ignorance on the part j of the public. . . Every Virginian who has ever hunted, i fished or simply enjoyed our state’s bounty of natural beauty has a stake in protecting and conserving the resources of the Old Dominion. Together, we can ensure that our children an our children's children will know and enjoy Virginia’s natural heritage.” And the center had an earlier success in winning the Virginia Wildlife Federation’s “Wildlife Conservationist of the Year for 1988.” But the buffalo statuette presented by Attorney General Gerald Baliles won’t pay the monthly bills. ) Ghfcaffithats<^somuchmm than "JWERFYCHRISTMAS” The joyful Christmas Season is here again giving you the opportunity to share the special gift that has been serving Rappahannock County since 1919.

But the four of us who started the center can’t continue to carry the financial burden. If it goes broke, it goes broke. That’s the end,” Clarke said. To raise money, Clarke will host a benefit reception open to the public at his mother’s restaurant, The Corner Post in Flint Hill, this Saturday, December 17, beginning at 3:30 n m If this and other efforts are successful, he and his partners at the wildlife center already have plans for the future. “We’d like to ex“It’s a window on wildlife.

We want to hold on-site programs that are oriented toward young people, toward the conservationists and sportsmen of tomorrow. And it would give us a place to keep and use the animals who are permanently injured and can’t be returned to the wild. They would be living lessons of what can happen if we aren’t careful of the wild creatures we share this world with,” Clarke explained. “We know, we’re convinced, that the Shenandoah Valley Wildlife Treatment and Rehabilitation Center can make a difference to the coming generation.” (The center serves an ared that stretches from the Shenandoah Valley across the Piedmont to Northern Virginia. Ed Clarke has organized a network of trained volunteers who are willing to pick up and transport injured, sick or displaced animals to Waynesboro for treatment.

Bowers trading for Blue Ridge Guns and that he billed the gun shop,” answered Konick. Dulaney produced a bill from Ryder made out to the sportsmen’s association. “That wouldn’t surprise me a bit,” countered Konick, pointing out that the bill was dated November 30, 1983— 114 months after the construction. At the time the ordinance amendment was drafted, did Bowers intend to build a commercial firing range adjacent to the gun shop, Dulaney asked Konick. Konick responded that it would be best to ask Bowers what his intentions were. Konick added that he had seen the ammendment as proposed “simply to provide for firing ranges to be allowed in some districts and to enact guidelines.” In fact, Konick added, the Planning Commission chairman had to point out several times during the public hearing that the proposal was intended to cover all firing ranges in the county and not just near the gun shop. Baumgardner briefly called Patricia Ann Dixon to the stand. Dixon testified that she lives “one farm over” from the Settle property. She had taken the pictures of the firing range which Baumgardner had introduced into evidence. Dixon added that she had no reason to believe that the firing range had been removed. Bowers Tells His Side After the county rested its case, Dulaney called Robert L. Bowers to the stand. Bowers identified himself as a gunsmith, one of the owners of Blue Ridge Guns and president of the nine member Rappahannock Sportsmen’s Association. Bowers said the associa tion had leased the Settie property for “a few selected individuals to go and shoot safely and for no other reason. We have not fired the first round of ammunition,” he added, saying the club was still in the process of organizing when the temporary injunction was brought against it. “For no reason” would the firing range be open to the public, he added. The club was limited to a fewskilled marksmen interested in improving and practicing for competition, Bowers maintained. He likened the sport to tennis or golf where a few club members would get together to work to improve their skill. Under further questioning, Bowers asserted that there was no connection between the association and his gun shop and that he stood to gain “absolutely” no personal profit from the club. There would be qualifications for membership, he continued. Each member would be someone who had previously participated in competitive shooting, knew guns and had completed the Virginia hunters’ safety course. Bowers said the berms had been built to make the area safe. Although several of the same men had used the Settle property for about four years for target practice, they had decided to add the constructions to make the area safer from ricochets. A murmur ran tnrougn the audience of predominently Amissville residents when Bowers said he had received no complaints about the noise on the firing range before the improvements were made. The range was located in an “isolated area”, he maintained. Bowers explained the late date on the association’s bill from Ryder by saying he had to call the company several times to get the bill, he insisted that it was the first invoice Ryder sent and that the association had offered the work done, not the gun shop. The association was using the store address to receive its mail, he said, adding that he had called Ryder as president of the Association. No Shooting At Range On the day of Konick’s inspection, there were some squirrel hunters in the area, Bowers said. He maintained that the shots Konick heard were not fired by members of the Sportsmen’s Association. “We haven’t fired the first shot,” he repeated. Bowers added that he was disappointed that Konick had not stopped to speak with him on that day or contacted him since. Under cross-examination Bowers told Baumgardner that there were a total of 12 shooting stands and six pistol posts erected on the property. Although the club members had stockpiled more lumber, they didn’t intend to build more stands. They had room for 18 to shoot but had only nine members, Bowers testified. While the club members had discussed the possibility of hosting competitions, they decided the club was too small to cover the cost, Bowers said. Bowers admitted that the club had ordered a quantity of printed flyers to advertise the range rules and membership qualifications, but said the flyers were never distributed because “they were made up wrong.” The flyers were not intended to advertise any specific event he said, but rather to explain membership qualifications. Bowers estimated that one in 50 applicants could become members. There was a substantial investment in the club, Bowers told Mahon’s associate Woody Turner. The Ryder excavation work had cost $1,175 and the rent to Settle was $250 per month or $3,000 per year. The members were to pay dues of $125 per year, but Bowers said those who had paid were given a refund “because I didn’t know if this thing would get off the ground or not.” Bowers said other landowners had told him they would like to have the firing range on their land, but that the rules were made up with the Settle property in mind. Bowers said non-members would be allowed to attend for one day if they presented identification and followed certain strict rules, but the rules were not written yet because the association had “stopped everything” after the injunction was issued. Bowers defined a shooting range as “anyplace you shoot”—or “from the end of a rifle to a target on a horizontal property.” Closing Statements “This case is really simple,” Baumgardner told the judge. “A firing range is allowed only by special exception. It is the burden on the owner to come before the board to request and to comply.” In his turn, Dulaney continued to argue the constitutional rights of the sportsmen to bear and train to arms. The barriers had been built for the public protection, he added. Dulaney said Bowers had been led to believe by the zoning administrator that the ordinance would not apply to private individuals acting in a strictly non-commercial capacity. Finally Baumgardner argued that any constitutional right is subject to certain limitations. He compared the right to bear arms to freedom of speech—a person may say what he likes until it becomes verbal assault. He may not yell “fire” in a crowded theater. Likewise the right to target practice must be balanced against public safeguards—which are contained in Rappahannock within the zoning ordinance, the Commonwealth’s Attorney concluded. Judge Robertson agreed and continued the injunction permanently.
