' DISPATCH CENTER is ready to go as soon as fire and rescue lines are hooked up—and as soon as Compensation Board approves staff required to handle round-the-clock calls. I Jail Is Number One Priority Opening Still Blocked By Staff Questions Woodward Hires New Deputy, Two Jailers The county supervisors have authorized Sheriff Henry Woodward to contract for completion of work at the jail left undone when Baughn Construction Company rejected the last contract change order. In addition, they gave Woodward the okay to arrange for food service at the facility. Their action, taken at last Wednesday’s board meeting, removes two of the obstacles blocking use of the remodeled lock-up. But ap-^ proval from the State Compensation Board and Department of Corrections for staff must still be obtained before Rappahannock - prisoners can be incarcerated in Rappahannock. Of the unfinished items on the last contract change order. Woodward told the board he wanted (1) a partition in the dispatch center (2) shelves in Closets and (3) a basketball backboard and hoop for the prisoners’ exercise yard. “Wien the prisoners are out in the yard, it will give them something to do to occupy their time,” he explained. Woodward noted that Department of Corrections officials require an alarm to signal when the basement door of the jail building is open. “The cheapest route to ' go is a light. 'If we install f p hui—r ~ itr ’ll hrtira to gat *' * transformer *to drop the voltage down.” The light will be mounted at the dispatcher’s desk where someone will be on duty at all times. (The basement is completely sealed off from the jail and houses only the furance and other equipment, according to architect Hunter Spencer.) In addition, Woodward said, the Department of Corrections wants the window in the basement either bricked up or barred. He proposed cutting down bars salvaged from the jail renovation to fit that window. Feeding Prisoners “I don’t know what to do about the food situation,” Woodward said, adding that k none of the county’s restaurantuers have responded to an advertisement soliciting bids on catering meals for prisoners. “I plan on going around and talking to them all in person this week.” ‘The Hampton Inn didn’t call you? They mentioned two or three months ago to me that they were interested (in catering the meals),” Supervisor Clarence Baldwin said. “I’ll go out and talk to them,” Woodward volunteered. “We need (a restaurant) that’s open seven days a week. We have to serve prisoners three meals a day and two of those meals have to be hot.” Supervisor Charles “Pete” Estes reported on an advertisement he’d seen in a jail supply publication for pre-prepared frozen meals. • “You store them in a small freezer that has a microwave oven on top. Then if you have two prisoners, you put two meals in the microwave," he explained, adding that he believed the frozen meals have the State Department of Corrections (Continued on Page 2) “My main priority is to get the jail and dispatch center off the ground,” announced new Sheriff John Henry Woodward after taking office last week. “Other things I want to do will have to be worked in later. I have two untrained men now and that limits what we can try out.” Hirings, promotions and arrangements for training were the first order of busiless when the former deputy assumed the pbst of sheriff. The State Compensation Board waived the current six-week freeze on hiring replacements, authorizing Woodward to immediately fill the deputy slot left empty after his election. Joining the force on January 14 will be Troy Steele, 22, of Culpeper. A graduate of ; Culpeper County High 'School, Steele attended Gert manna Community College and was formerly employed bv the town ofCulpeper. . The Compensation Board, which authorizes positions and pays salaries for law enforcement personnel, also approved employment of three new correctional officers for the recently renovated Rappahannock jail. Woodward has hired Mitch Hitt, 29, of Castleton, an RCHS graduate active in *fche Castleton Volunteer Fire Department, and WiJliarrf Jenkins, 21, a native of Rappahannock and graduate of Culpeper County High School formerly employed by the Culpeper Sheriffs Department as a part time jailer. ‘The third corrections position hasn’t been filled yet and it won’t be until March 1 when school starts (for jailers) at the Shenandoah Academy,” Woodward said. Brown Promoted Todd Brown, senior man with two years as a deputy, was promoted to sargeant. John Facchina, who joined the department last fall, will stay on as a full time deputy as will veteran part timers Ray Jackson and Ed Streepy. Woodward noted that Facchina was scheduled to attend the basic law enforcement session at Central Shenandoah Criminal Justice Academy this month. “But they cancelled the school and now they tell me it’s set for early February. Then after John finishes, I’ll have to send Troy.” Former Sheriff W.A. Buntin, a 30 year veteran of law enforcement, will continue wearing a badge as court baliff, a volunteer position. “That takes court duty off us and allows us more time for active police work,” noted Woodward. John Mannion, corrections officer at the pre-renovation lock-up, will also stay on, giving the sheriffs department one experienced and trained jailer. “The jail won’t be open full time until after the three new correctional officers complete training in March,” Woodward said. “Until then, we’ll use the jail for a lock-up, holding prisoners overnight when Mannion is on duty.” The final hold over from (Continued on Page 2) Under Protest, Latham Accepts Chairmanship The chairmanship of the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors has proved to be a hot potato: no one wants to hold it for very long. “1 prefer not to be chairman,” announced J.R. Latham as the board addressed its annual reorganization at ‘It’s only for one year,” noted Hubert Gilkey. “I believe I should withdraw. This is going to be a very pressing year for me,” said Estes, expressing doubt as to whether he would have the time to devote to fulfilling the chairman’s duties. the iy«4 s first meeting last Wednesday. “The chairmanship is something we should all have experience in,” said the Jackson District representative who has held the post for the past two years. “If Dick doesn’t want to accept, I’d like to nominate Pete Estes," Supervisor Clarence Baldwin proposed. “Then I nominate Dick Latham,” countered Gilkey. “For one year? It may be less!” the Amissville farmer replied. “I’d like to explain why I’m reluctant to take it,” interjected Estes. “It’s only because of the time required to do the job right. It’s quite an honor to be chairman but if I don’t have the time, I True Bills Returned In Drug Case The five member grand jury met for an hour on Monday, the opening day of the January Circuit Court term, , and returned four true bills against a Northern Virginia man for drug violations. After listening to testimony from State Trooper Kj.B. Harper, the jurors inflicted Joseph Frank Bernardo for conspiracy to sell more than five pounds of marijuana, possession of marijuana with intent to manufacture and two counts of manufacturing marijuana. The violations allegedly occurred in March, 1982. k“This is a two year old case,” gfcennmdnwealth’s Attorney Pater Luke explained later. *t derided to seek the indictments but I’m not sure we’ll ever find Bernardo.” The grand jury also returned a true bin Monday against James F. Wehrkamp of Warrenton, charging him with operating a motor vehicle after being declared an habitual offender. Lee-Jackson Day Closings County and state offices will be closed Monday, January 16, for Lee/Jackson Day. In addition, the Rappahannock National Bank in Washington wHl be closed. The Rappahannock Mental Health Clinic will also be closed. In the event ot an emergency, clinic staff may be reached by calling 675-3329. Post offices, public schools and most local business, including Farmers and Merchants Bank and the Rappahannock News, will remain open. shouldn’t get involved in it, right?” “The time and effort are what’s taken a toll on me,” Latham responded. “Maybe Mr. Baldwin or Mr. Gilkey would be willing to take the job.” “I don’t have the time,” Baldwin said. “I move the nominations be closed,” Gilkey added. By a 4-0 vote with the incumbent abstaining, Latham was re-elected. “Thank you,” he said, with just a touch of sarcasm. “But I hope someone else will be preparing themselves for this job.” Lane Asks For Suggestions On School Board “I have a lot of feelers out,” replied Supervisor Nelson Lane when asked by bis fellow board members last week if he had a nomination to the Rappahannock School Board from Stonewall-Hawthome District. It was Lane’s election in November that created the vacancy. The former School Board member defeated Sean Kilpatrick in the contest for the Stonewall-Hawthome seat after incumbent H.B. Wood chose not to seek re-election. Last Wednesday, Lane asked that the appointment of a representative from his district be postponed until February. He requested residents of the district to contact him by telephone or in person to give their suggestions on the nomination. Until 1980, the Rappahannock County School Board was appointed by a three-member Board of Electoral Trustees who had been in turn appointed by the circuit court judge. Rappahannock citizens, (Continued on Page 3) —B appaKiBBnch Ne w\ Ptkikt/M Mjiv THIS AMBULANCE cost $44,139 — and that’s without equipment, say Amissville fire and rescue leaders Paul Poling and Carl James. The company received a $24,000 state assistance fund grant. The rest of the money for the vehicle, defibrillators and cardiac monitors was raised in the T.C. Barron memorial fund drive, headed up by Emma Swatman. The ambulance, to be placed in service February 1, will be the second in the county with cardiac life support systems.

Judge Refuses Writ Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson has refused to issue a writ of certiorari in the zoning controversy over The Inn at Little Washington. Robertson entered his order last Thursday, clerk Diane Bruce reported, thus making moot a previously scheduled pre-trial conference which had been set for Monday. Lawyers for The Inn had sought a court review of conditions placed on the varience granted The Inn at a November 18 Town Council meeting. Town attorney Douglas Baumgardner said Friday he expected to meet with the council soon to discuss this latest development, but pointed out that the order did not address the issue of the zoning ordinances’ validity. The Inn had contended the conditions were invalid and the town zoning ordinance not in accord w ith state requirements. Whether the ordinance is valid or not, Baumgaixlner says, a court review for a writ or certiorari would not have been the proper pro ceeding to address the question. He said he expects the Town Council to take up the case at Wednesday's regular council meeting. Mayor Newbill Miller said Wednesday’s meeting would include a review of work with the Rappahannock - Rapidan Planning District Commission to revise the town zoning ordinance. On hearing of the judge’s refusal to issue the writ. Miller said he was “happy at anything which appears to uphold the town.” First Ice, Then Snow Hit County Rappahannock school officials postponed Tuesday’s school board meeting—and just in time. At about 7 p.m. | assistant superintendent Tom Campbell announced • that the regular meeting had been postponed until Thursday. By what would have been the time to call the meeting to order, freezing rain was quickly becoming snow flurries. Wednesday morning, the accumulation ranged from three inches plus at Chester Gap to around two inches in Castleton and a frosting in Washington prompting school officials to cancel classes. It was expected to remain cloudy, windy and cold Wednesday with temperatures ranging from 27 to 37 degrees, lows of 15-20 degrees Wednesday night with winds 15 20 miles per hour. That was a forecast condusive to more freezing and blowing. Assistant resident engineer R.E. Moore at the highway department said Wednesday the sun was helping to melt the worst parts of the ice, but that the freeze overnight could cause new hazards as low spots and areas where melted snow’ had run down the roads would turn to new slick spots. The Rappahannock road maintenance crew consists of 18-20 people, Moore said. Between 6-10 work at night and were the first ones called to duty when the storm hit Tuesday night. By Wednesday morning, Moore said it was “everyone out”. They were plowing and spreading chemicals and abrasives. It was hard going early in the morning, Moore said, because much of the snow had been packed down by the Tuesday night traffic. Towards noon, the workers’ efforts and the weather had worn through the worst parts of the primary roads. Moore described their condition is having “a lot of black area.” The secondaries were still pretty bad, he added. December Unemployed Decrease By Half The number of local workers collecting unemployment insurance compensation during December decreased by 50 percent from a year ago, according to recent figures supplied by the Culpeper branch of the Virginia Employment Commission. Last month 1,346 people in the five county area were collecting unemployment insurance. During December, 1982, the number of unemployed was 2,658. The latest figures show that 145 Rappahannock residents were looking for work in November, up from 92 in October. That raised the percentage of unemployed locally from the district low of 3.5 percent in October to a current near low of 6.7 percent. Only Orange had a worst employment picture in November with 6.1 percent of its civilian work force pounding the pavement. The declines were attributed to cutbacks in construction, agricultural and service industries due to the weather. Fewer weather oriented oc(Continued on Page %) «

Jail Opening Still Blocked By Staffing Problems New Sheriff Hires Deputy, Two Jailers (Continued from Page 1) stamp of approval. Estes suggested that the sheriff look over the microwave freezer combination at Huey Atkins’ Sperryville Exxon, which has the same type as that advertised in the jail supply magazine. Supervisor Hubert Gilkey agreed that pre-prepared meals might be the best solution to the food problem at the jail. “It’s certainly a lot cheaper than caterers,” added Supervisor Clarence Baldwin, asking for an estimate on the number of prisoners Woodward expects to have incarcerated based on last year’s total. “I can’t do it based on last year,” the sheriff replied. He explained that the judges knew Rappahannock had no facilities and that its prisoners were fanned out to jails from Woodstock to Charlottesville — wherever there was space. “The judges took that into account in sentencing,” he said, noting that alternatives of community service, work release and probation were frequently substituted for time behind bars. "The only people they locked up were the people they’ve had to...That won’t continue once our jail is ready,” Woodward predicted. Pressed again by the supervisors for an estimate, the sheriff said “I think we’ll average six per day through the year.” Staffing Questions Woodward had hoped to have the jail operating by January 20 in order to get a full quarter’s payment— $5,000—from the state. “But it doesn’t look like we’ll meet that deadline,” he said, adding that Department of Corrections representatives had informed him the payment would be pro-rated for a later opening. “The Department of Corrections says he can’t open until we get all our jailers qualified and the first school (to provide that training) isn’t until March,” the sheriff said. He added that he’s seeking approval to use the jail at least as a 24-hour lockup until the corrections officers are trained. Woodward repeated the information that his predecessor, W. A. Buntin, had relayed to the supervisors last month. The State Compensation Board, which pays salaries for authorized law enforcement positions, has given Rappahannock’s sheriffs department approval for jailers only to date. At the same time, the Department of Corrections has reversed its earlier stand and ruled that jailers can’t serve as dispatchers. “Tony Bottley (manager of the Department of Corrections’ adult facilities in the northern region) says he won’t let us operate if we do," Woodward reported. The Compensation Board is supposed to meet this month to act on Rappahannock’s request for dispatchers, he said. “If the dispatchers aren’t approved, 1 don't know what we’ll do. I’m going to have to work on that," Woodward added. Operating Revenue While obstacles remain to opening the jail, once it’s operating, it ddesn’t appear that money will be a problem, judging by the sheriffs explanation of revenue sources. Salaries for jailers and Rappahannock Ntm* 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 ( XNew { > Renewal ( ) Check Enclose NAME___ ADDRESS • ..“ CITY__ STATE ___ ZIP _— Second class postage paid at the Post Office at Warrenton.

In addition, the state will give the county a minimum of $20,000 per year for jail operations to be paid in four $5,000 installments, according to Woodward. The money is intended to cover the cost of incarcerating state prisoners. Localities receive $7 per day for every person jailed on a state warrant. Woodward said. Once an individual is convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary, the locality gets an additional $5 for each day the prisoner is held in the local jail until taken into the state system. “If that doesn’t mount up to $5,000 in three months, the state pays us the $5,000 anyway,” Woodward told the board. ^And if the per day charges for prisoners total more than $5,000 a quarter, the state will also reimburse the locality for the coverage, the sheriff added. Questioned by the supervisors. Woodward said he expected to be able to run the jail without spending more than the state payments. “But I have very little to operate on until we get the money from Richmond,” he noted. “We’ve got to have soap, toilet paper, shampoo, things like that before we get our first prisoner.” The supervisors authorized Woodward to purchase necessary supplies, concluding that the county budget for law enforcement includes enough money to cover those expenditures until state reimbursement arrives. Close Out Architect Hunter Spencer informed the board that the State Department of Corrections has requested three items before closing out the jail renovation project.

Several items (exclusive of the rejected change order) remain unfinished, “so I haven’t yet certified completion,” Spencer reported. His list included a call door lock that doesn’t work, several lights on the control panel that don’t function correctly, a small section of the roof still unpainted and a rear door to the jail that doesn’t close properly. “I suggest you come up with a figure to withhold from the final payment ($30,183.29) until these items are done,” he told the board, proposing $1,000. “It’s got to be more than that. It will get done a lot quicker if we withhold more than that,” said Baldwin. “If it’s not more than $1,000, he won’t even come back to finish,” agreed Estes. "It seems that $1,000 would be sufficient to cover the cost of the remaining work,” interjected chairman J. R. Latham. “We don’t want to make relations any worse." “Will there be a deadline on getting the work done?” asked Baldwin. “$1,000 doesn’t mean anything to that man.” Hubert Gilkey’s motion to withhold $5,000 from the final payment won unanimous approval. Clerk Diane Bruce was also authorized to pay that amount if the architect certifies the work before the board’s next meeting. At Estes’ suggestion, the board directed that materials salvaged from the jail and returned by the contractor be offered at public auction to be conducted by the sheriff. “That will give everybody a chance to pick up an historical item from Rappahannock County’s past. That’s the reason why I wanted to see the salvage brought back to the county in the first place,” Estes said. ' * The supervisors agreed ’’ to a proposal from Gilkey that one jail lock be held back from auction and donated to the Rappahannock County Historical Society. Robinson Aide At Court House William W. Pifer, assistant to Rep. J. Kenneth Robinson, will be at the Rappahannock County Court House on Wednesday, January 18, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Pifer will be available to talk with constitutents who have problems of a federal nature with Social Security, Department of Labor, Immigration and Naturalization Service, Internal Revenue or Office of Personnel Management or who wish to relay their opipions on national legislative issues or discuss matters of concern. (Continued from Page 1) Buntin’s staff is Sandra Brown, secretary and administrative assistant who will double as a dispatcher and matron during office hours. All Will Be Women Woodward noted that he now has a request before the Compensation Board for approval of three dispatchers. “When those positions are approved, all the people hired for the jobs will be women and they’ll all double as matrons. Ninety-five percent of the prisoners we’ll be holding in this jail will be male so I had to hire male jailers. Hiring female dispatchers will give us backup staff as matrons whenever we have women prisoners,” Woodward explained. If the dispatchers aren’t authorized by the Compensation Board, the jail won’t open, Woodward emphasized. He maintained that an earlier proposal to have dispatchers double as jailers is completely unrealistic. “There’s no way we can operate a jail with the jailer running back and forth to answer emergency calls at the dispatch center. The jailer is going to be a fulltime job — and then some,” the sheriff said. Woodward is anticipating approval for his personnel request from the Compensation Board and expects the dispatch center to begin handling all emergency calls beginning February 1. “All the equipment is installed and working except the fire and rescue phones,” he said, adding that the lines will be hooked up later this month. After February 1, for police, fire and rescue — emergency only —Rappahannock residents in Amissville, Washington, Castleton, Sperrvville, Woodville and Flint Hill (987, 937, 675 and 547 exchanges) will call 9878525. Residents of Chester Gap and Huntly (635 and 636 exchanges) will call 635-4888 for police and fire and rescue ’■ in an amergency. Alarm signals notifying the sheriffs department of break-ins at private homes will also come in over the emergency lines. Anyone with an alarm system can arrange for this telephone connection by supplying the sheriffs department with their name, address and directions to residence. Investigations Ranking right behind his first priority of getting the jail and dispatch system operating, Woodward’s “basic concern” is finding more time for investigations. “We’ve already lengthened our day. Shifts start now at 7 a.m. and run to 3 p.m. so we can provide traffic control at both schools,” the sheriff noted. “We’ve heard nothing but compliments on that arrangement.” To achieve his goal of improving the clearance rate on breakings and enterings. Woodward hopes to send deputies to training sessions on investigatory techniques at the Central Shenandoah Academy. “There’s some addition schooling that I feel the men should get. I can’t afford to send somebody to every school that comes along — we don’t have enough staff. But in addition to learning more about investigating, I’d like for all the deputies to become qualified on the breatholizer (used to check suspected drunk drivers). We’ll leave the traffic schools to the State Police.” And as soon as^-the new sheriffs department offices in the renovated jail are set up, the new sheriff plans to spend time in the field himself, concentrating on follow up investigations of crime. “Solving breakings and enterings is our weakest spot and it’s because the department has had a problem finding time to follow up on calls,” Woodward noted. 24-Hour Coverage \ Although the sheriff would like to have a full time, trained investigator available, his fipt staffing request will be ‘for another 13 Calls Logged In First Week At New Office Since last Tuesday when new Sheriff John Henry Woodward began keeping a log for his department, Rappahannock deputies, res|Kinded to the following emergency calls: —January 3, possible breaking and entering in Woodville, —January 4, larceriy involving theft of eight sixfoot scaffolds from A.L.

Now there are no officers on duty in the county from midnight to 7 a.m. — not state police or sheriff’s department,” he noted, adding that men from both are on call from their homes during the graveyard shift. Attention of police throughout the country has focused increasingly on curbing the drunk driver. Rappahannock’s new sheriff plans to follow that lead.” Everybody’s doubling up on traffic checks. In D.C. and Maryland, they have them every night. I’m not going to go overboard but I don’t think we would be going overboard if we had held checks once a week. They’re not just a good way for controlling drunk drivers, road checks are the ONLY way we have for finding out who hasn’t bought a county>(g,” Woodward said. Finally, the sheriff intends to increase his department’s activities in the area of community relations. “We’re more than glad to talk to any civic group or club,” he said, adding that he also plans to institute new educational programs at the schools. “The fingerprinting we’re doing this Friday at the elementary school is an example,” Woodward said. He acknowledged that some people have criticized what is intended as an identification aid for kidnapped or lost children. “We’re only doing it as a public service,” he noted, pointing out that parents will retain the single copy of their children’s fingerprints. “We can’t keep juvenile fingerprints. If a juvenile is charged with a crime and we have his fingerprints, after he’s convicted, we have to tear the cards up and throw them away. We can’t keep ANY fingerprints from juveniles on file." Woodward emphasized that the fingerprinting program (which is strictly voluntary) is mieant to be a safeguard for .parents. “We get reports or missing children every day. A child kidnapped as a baby can change a lot over the years. If the parents have fingerprints of the child, a positive identification can always be made, even if it’s years later. We’ve never had a kidnapping in Rappahannock that I know of and I hope we never do. People say it can never happen in Rappahannock County,” Sheriff Woodward said. “But you never know who will come through on Route 211.” USED CAR SALE (Largest Selection of Quality Used Cars In the Areal) 1977 Pontiac Lemans 2 door, Auto.

’84 Assembly Opens With Major Test For Robb By SEAN ADAMS Arundel Newapapen, Richmond Bureau RICHMOND — The 1984-86 state budget, uranium mining, a coal slurry pipeline, teachers’ salaries and highway funding were among the most important issues facing the 1984 General Assembly when it opened Wednesday afternoon. As they began their scheduled 60-day session, the 140 legislators were also waiting to hear Gov. Charles S. Robb outline his priorities in his State of the Commonwealth address Wednesday night. In that speech the governor was to propose his “principal initiatives and talk about issues that are, as he has called them, the ‘hot potatoes’,” said Robb spokesman George M. Stoddart. Among those “hot potatoes" are the budget — aid for education and whether tax increases will be needed — as well as the pipeline and uranium issues, Stoddart said. The spokesman refused to give details Monday, saying the speech “is in its seventh draft at this hour.” Gov. Robb’s budget prio rities — what services he wants the state to provide and how much the taxpayers should pay for them — will be the main thrust of his speech. This is the first budget Robb’s own adminisfraton has shaped. Although he took office in January 1982, he inherited a budget molded by his predecessor, John N. Dalton. The budget is expected to be between $15 and il5.5 billion for the two years, up from about $13.9 billion for 1982-84. One of the key proposals will & Robb’s plan for increasing pay for teachers. Robb proposed a 10-percent increase for teachers last year, and legislators expect him to propose at least that much for each of the two years in the upcoming biennium. Whether that will be enough to satisfy the majority of the assembly, teachers, or local governments remains to be seen. No matter what the outcome, the Virginia Education Association will have its share of lobbyists on hand to make its case for more money for education and teachers. A* of Dec. 14 — the most recent date when figures were available — 39 VEA lobbyists were registered, far more than for any other group. To provide more finding for education, two legislators have pre-filed bills to increase the state sales tax from 3 to 4 percent. But one influentialIlegislator, Senate FinanceXommittee Chairman Edward E. Willey (D-Richmond), told the Richmond City Council last week he opposes such a tax increase. Such a pronoucement from the stubborn Willey means the proposal may be doomed, because his committee would have to approve such a biD. Robb has been silent on the proposal, which some have interpreted as a sign that the governor is also opposed. The governor’s budget will also include his proposals for merit pay for teachers, and for a $30 million high-tech center that would be located in Northern Virginia. The Court of Appeals, scheduled to begin operating in 1985, also will be up for review this year, with some lawmakers out to change its set-up and others out to kill it. Precise costs for beginning the court and for operating it also will be determined. The initial operating estimates of $2.5 million are thought to be low. The slurry pipeline is shaping up as a lobbying battle between pro-pipeline forces — Virginia Electric and Power Co. and Transco Coal Co. — and the railroads, led by CSX Corp. Vepco wants the pipeline built between Southwest Virginia coalfields and Hampton Roads, because it says it is cheaper than having coal hauled by rail. Railroads are opposed, however, because they say it would hurt their business, among other reasons. Railroads and other landowners could block pipelines, since Vepco and others do not have the right of eminent domain to acquire land for building them. Pro-pipeline forces are seeking such condemnation rights from the assembly. The assembly also will consider whether to extend for an additional year the moratorium on uranium mining. Marline Uranium Corp. has found rich uranium deposits in Pittsylvania County, a rural county on North Carolina border. The legislature initiated the ban until it could study the environmental effects of mining the uranium, whose tailings are radioactive. Nine lobbyists for CSX alone — including former Gov. Dalton — are registered, as well as representatives of other railroads. On the other side, seven lobbyists were signed up on behalf of Virginia Coal Slurry Associates and the Virginia Coal Pipeline Association. The lobbying also will get heavy on one of the big issues last year — raising the beer-drinking age. The governor wanted to raise the age to 21 last year, and the House of Delegates voted for that age as well. But a Senate committee forced a compromise on 19 for drinking beer in restaurants and bars. It had been 18 for on-premises consumption. The governor himself was said to have twisted many a senator’s arm last year in seeking the age of 21, but it isn’t yet clear how vigorously he will try to persuade them on the issue this session. Highway funding, always a subject of debate in the legislature, may be put off until 1985. At least that was the consensus during a meeting Tuesday of the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission. A study by JLARC staff recommended major changes in how state highway funds are allocated. But at the urging of JLARC Chairman Hunter B. Andrews (D-Hampton), the commission will submit a resoluion calling for a General Assembly panel to study the JLARC proposal before making proposals next year. The JLARC action was expected, since Andrews and other senior members of the panel — many of them from Tidewater — were wary of the proposal, which would mean less highway money for their areas. Surviving Winter Storms By ROBERT MAHLBACHER Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer The Rappahannock County Office of Emergency and Energy Services has received information from various federal government agencies which will help local people cope with severe weather conditions. This is the first of a series of weather-related articles and is, appropriately, concerned with winter storms. The severe winter storms that immobilize the east coast and find their way to Rappahannock County will probably form near the coast of Virginia and the Carolinas and in the general area east of the southern Appalachians. These are the notorious Cape Hatteras storms—nor’easters—which develop to great intensity as they move up the coast, then toward Labrador and Greenland. These storms have the ability to immobilize large areas and to isolate 9 I THE RECOVERY ROOM A Division of Virginia Cardio Pulmonary Home Care 10 to 5 Monday thru Friday 10 to 3 Saturday NANCY HUDSON Patient Care Coordinator SPECIALS A.

This is called a blend loan. Here is how it works. A seller lists his home for $75,000 and anticipates that a new buyer will need a $60,000 mortgage. The existing mortgage on the house is $20,000 at 8%. The prevailing rate might be 15% (for example only). The seller approaches the bank with the idea of a blend loan which would be to their mutual advantage. Under the blend loan, the interest rate that a buyer would pay on a $60,000 mortgage is calculated by combining the 8% rate on the $20,000 and the current rate of 15% on the remaining $40,000. The blend rate in this example is 12.7%. Everyone comes out ahead. The seller has a more salable property, the bank has a better interest rate and the buyer has a below-market rate mortgage.

From 1936 through 1978 snowstorms caused more than 3,500 deaths. More than a third were attributed to automobile and other accidents; just less than onethird to overexertion, exhaustion and consequent fatal heart attack; and the res| to such causes as home fires/ carbon monoxide poisoning and oxygen starvation in stalled cars, falls on slippery walks, electrocution from downed wires and building collapse. ^ Words of Warning For protection against the hazards 61 winter storms—blizzards, heavy snows, freezing rain, or sleet—follow ; these safety tips: Use a radio and television to keep informed of current weather conditions and forecasts in the area.

VEC officials did not see the slight slump as indicative of any significant trend in the area’s employment picture. Statewide unemployment lowered from 5.6 percent to 5.4 during the Anonth. A slight decrease in the national rate was recorded at the same time. The November unemployment rate ;was 8.1 percent down from 8.4 percent in October.

Even a few hours’ warning of a storm may enable people to avoid being caught in it, or at least be better prepared to cope with it. Become familiar with terms commonly used in weather forecasts: A blizzard is the most dangerous of all winter storms. It combines cold air, heavy snow and strong winds that blow the snow about and may reduce visibility to only a few yards. A blizzard warning is issued when the Weather Service expects considerable snow and winds of 35 miles per hoqr or more. A severe blizzard warning means that a very heavy snowfall is expected, with winds of at least 45 miles an hour and temperatures of 10°F. or lower. A winter storm warning is issued when heavy snow (expec^d snowfall of 4 inches of more in a 12-hour period, or 6 inches or more in a 24-hour period), sleet or freezing rain are forecast to occur separately or in combination. A winter storm watch indicates there is a threat of severe winter weather in a particular area. Freezing rain or freezing drizzle is forecast when expected rain is likely to freeze as soon as it strikes the earth, where the surface temperature is below freezing. The result is a coating of ice on roads, walkways, trees and all exposed surfaces. If a substantial layer of ice is expected to accumulate from the freezing rain, a winter storm warning is issued. It has been estimated that an evergree tree 50 feet high with an average width of 20 feet may be coated with as much as five tons of ice during a severe ice storm. Sleet is small particles of ice, usually mixed with rain. If enough sleet accumulates on the ground, it will make the roads slippery. Travelers’ advisories are issued when ice and snow are expected to hinder travel but not seriously enough to require warnings. Stormbound at Home Living in a rural area, residents must prepare to be self-sufficient at home for extended periods. It is advisable to be able to survive for a week or two in case a storm isolates people, making it impossible for them to leave. Keep an adequate supply of heating fuel on hand and use it sparingly. Regular supplies may be curtailed by storm conditions. If necessary, conserve fuel by keeping the house cooler than usual, or by “closing off” some rooms temporarily. Also, have available some kind of emergency Lane Seeks Input Continued from Page 1 disgruntled with the choices made by the trustee electors, mounted a petition drive and had the question of school board selection placed on the ballot for a special election. Virginia law allows only two methods of school board selection: appointment by the trustee electors or appointment by the board of supervisors. By a lopsided margin of tento-one, voters opted to change Rappahannock’s system to the current appointment by the board of supervisors. It is the practice of the supervisors to ask the board member in whose district the vacancy occurs for a nomination. That member’s choice has never failed to win endorsement, although support has not always been unanimous, as was the case when Lane himself was reappointed to the School Board two years ago. heating equipment anf fuel that can keep at least one room of the house warm enough to be livable. This could be a camp stove with fuel or a supply of wood or coal for those who have a fireplace. If a furnace is controlled by a thermostat and electricity is cut off by a storm, the fiirance probably would not operate and emergency heat would be needed. Have a battery-powered radio and extra batteries on hand, so that if electric power is cut off weather forecasts, information and advice broadcasts by local authorities can still be received. Also, flashlights or lanterns would be needed. Keep on hand the sirrtple tools and equipment needed to fight a fire. Also, be certain that all family members know how to take precautions to prevent fire at such a time, when the help of the fire department may not be available. Personal Care Dress for the season by wearing several layers of loose-fitting, lightweight, warm clothing rather than a single layer of thick clothing. Mittens are warmer than gloves. Use a hood to protect the head and face and to cover the mouth to protect lungs from the extremely cold air. Keep body and clothes dry. Avoid alcoholic beverages. Watch for signs of cold weather exposure—uncontrollable shivering, vague, slow, slurred speech, drowsiness, apparent exhaustion, and frostbite—patches of skin, ears, nose, toes or fingers that are frozen or cold to the touch and white and numb. Travel Tips Avoid all unnecessary trips. If forced to use an automobile for a trip of any distance, take these precautions: Make sure the car is in ® ?ood condition, properly serviced and equipped with :hains or snow tires.

Ask Guest Last month, when told of a staffing problem at the new jail, the supervisors washed their hands of it, maintaining that the matter would have to be settled between the State Department of Corrections and the Compensation Board. The two agencies do exercise considerable control over law enforcement contingents and jails. The Department of Corrections can dictate that jailers won’t serve double^duty as distpatchers. The Compensation Board has authority to establish the number of law enforcement positions—including dispatchers who also handle fire and rescue calls—to be funded by the state. To date, the Compensation Board has only approved positions of jailers for Rappahannock. At the same time, the Department of Corrections has warned that the county’s jail will be closed if jailers are used as dispatchers. While the beaurocratics are thrashing out the staffing question, county residents must continue to call Culpeper and Front Royal in emergencies. Rappahannock’s jail sits empty and our deputies spend hours carting prisoners back and forth to Woodstock, time more profitably spent in active law enforcement ptasuits. f Maybe the county supervisors can’t do anything to move matters along but apparently they’ve forgotten that Rappahannock has a friend in Richmond who can. Last year, when the Department of Corrections cut money from its proposed state budget that was to go towards reimbursing Rappahannock for half the cost of its desparately needed jail renovation, Del. Raymond "Andy” Guest shepherded a bill through the General Assembly that brought $bl,500 to Rappahannock to pay for half the work required to raise the old lock-up to jail standards. A member of State Crime Commission, Guest knows the ins and outs of the law enforcement beaurocracy, its regulations and funding procedures. The supervisors should seek his help in removing the last roadblock to utilization of the jail. Del. Guest will be in Richmond for the next three months while the General Assembly is in session. He’ll be busy but not too busy, we believe, to once again come to Rappahannock’s assistance. The View From Hawlin By El'CEXE McCAKTHY KappahuniuK-k Ne*s(iursl Columnist The best place from which to look out and slightly down on the world, according to John Glasker,, an expert on hollows agd on looking at things, is from the end of a hollow. The end of a hollow is slightly higher than that of any view from farther down the hollow. But it is not that much higher. It gives the viewer a vantage, but not an advantage, such as he might think he had if looking down on the world from a mountain. One sees too much from a mountain, says John, more than the eye or the mind can handle. Mountain viewing, he says, encourages careless looking and discourages watching. In a hollow one does both. He watches what is close and small and quick and looks at things that are farther away, with a more general and undirected attention. Valley viewing also has serious limitations, John says. In the first place one doesn't quite know whether to look up the valley or down the valley. If he looks up, he may not see w hat is down. If he looks down, something may move on him from the up side. There is insecurity in valley looking which is not the case in hollow looking, Looking around in Hat land has the same disadvantages as looking from mountain tops or high hills. There are too many directions in which one can or should look. Flat land looking has an added disadvantage which is that one can not see very far before the horizon closes in. The view from a hollow starts as at the point of a tri Poet, author, former United States Senator from Minnesota and candidate for the presidency, Eugene McCarthy non- tires in Han't in Holloic, Woodrille. angle and widens as it goes out and down. There are some differences among hollows. The best hollow is one that runs or backs up into the Blue Ridge Mountains. Lesser, but acceptable, hollows may be defined by some of the smaller mountains or ridges east of the main ridge. Among the lesser hollows is Hawlin, where I live. It is formed by the coming together of Juba’s mountain and School House Mountain. It is not comparable, or possibly just barely comparable. according to John, to some of the great hollows just beyond me to the West, such as Old Hollow, Thornton Hollow, (lid Brown Hollow, Willis. Hames. Swindler, Broad and several other hollows. A true hollow should not have a gap but should end with no escape route and with no easy access from its baek side. My hollow loses a point on this qualification, since it allows Route 618 to pass between the two mountains, by way of what would be called a gap if the mountains were higher and more suosianuai as are uiose which set the limits of Thornton Hollow and the line to Thornton Gap. Despite this weakness, 1 feel reasonably safe from observation, encroachment or attack from the rear as I look North Northeast from my house. With the exception of these two minor faults, Hawlin, according to John Glasker’s standards, meets the requirements of a valid hollow and the perspective from it is a true hollow perspective. A true hollow should mark the beginning of a river, creek or run. Hawlin does. It should have had in earlier days kt least one mill. Hawlin di«l. It should have had a school or two and a church. It may still have the church, probably should, although the mills are gone and the schools consolidated. It should still have wild animals. Mine does - turkeys, deer, a resident, bear, groundhogs, transient beavers, foxes and occasional bobcat, heard in the night and seen twice, skunks, and opposum and raccoons. Every good hollow should have a ghost story or two to go with it, a record of miniminal lawlessness, say moon-shining, and some poaching and a craftsman or woman or two. Applying all of these standards, John has approved Hawlin as a hollow and allowed that I can give my address as Hawlin Hollow and claim that I am looking on the passing scene, and even the still scene, with the security, certainty and desirable per-» spective of one who lives in a hollow.

I wrote to Governor Charles S. Robb and Congressman J. Kenneth Robi*r son, and contacted Delegate “Andy" Guest, regarding the law violations of Frank F. Everset, Jr., and Frank Sutton III. Enclosed herewith are copies of the replies received from Governor Robb’s office and a letter from R.H. Cross, Jr., transmitted to me by Delegate Guest’s office. Please pass these copies on to Mr. George Bowles with my thanks that he exposed these law violators to public view. I had some disheartening dealings with R.H. Cross, Jr., and Jack Rayburn of the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries regarding the so-called “controlled” deer hunts at the National Zoo’s Conservation Center near Front Royal on April 8, 1982. They told me that they could poison the deer on that property! I appreciate your printing Mr. Bowles’ column. CHARLES F. YATES Front Royal Dear Mr. Yates: Governor Robb has asked me to thank you for your recent letter. The Governor has requested and received Frank F. Everest, Jr.’s resignation as a member of the Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries. Frank Sutton, III was charged with and convicted for shooting within 38 feet of a road in violation of S 18.2286 of the Code of Virginia which prohibits shooting within 100 yards of a road. At the same time, he was in compliance with the Nelsqn County Ordinance which permits hunting with a firearm beyond 10 feet of a 1 road. Obviously, the law and the county ordinance are contradictory. Following the Sutton ■ case, the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries requested the advice of the Office of the Attorney General to clear up this confusion. It was agreed that in counties having local ordinances pertaining to hunting in the vicinity of public roads, game wardens will consult with the local Commonwealth’s Attorneys to determine how the laws will be enforced. In counties without local ordinances pertaining to hunting in the vicinity of roads, game wardens will enforce S 18.2-286 of the Code of Virginia which prohibits shooting on, across or within 100 yards of a road, H. BENSON DENDY, III Special Assistant Dear Andy (Delegate Raymond R. Guest): I appreciate this opportunity to respond to your letter relative to George Bowles’ newspaper article entitled, “Hunting Season Brings Anarchy.” Several actions taken by our staff this fall have received considerable attention in the newspapers. In some instances reporters took time to call us for facts and in others, the facts were not considered to be a necessary ingredient for a new s article. Here is the background and the rationale for the actions we have taken. Section 18.2-286 of the Code prohibits shooting on, across or within 100 yards of a road and has been in the Code for a number of years. It is a highway safety law and could not be enforced by our game wardens until they were%iven full police powers, effective July 1, 1982. Since that date we have charged sixty persons for violating this law. At a game warden supervisors’ meeting in October 1983, it was pointed out that a great deal of confusion existed because of county ordinances (attached), many of which conflict with S 18.2286. These ordinances, authorized by the General Assembly in 1982 under S 29144.5, prohibit hunting with firearms within certain distances from primary and secondary highways. Hunters have assumed that, if a local ordinance prohibits hunting within ten feet of a highway, then it is permissible to hunt and shoot within any distance beyond ten feet of the highway. The much publicized case involving Frank Sutton’s son illustrates the point. Sutton was hunting doves in Nelson County where a local ordinance prohibits hunting within ten feet of a highway. He , was 38 feet from the highway when he was charged with shooting within 100 yards. In our first effort to resolve the conflict it was decided that, in addition to enforcement of the county ordinance, our officers would also use S 18.2-56.1 which makes it unlawful for any person to handle recklessly any firearm so as to endanger the life, limb or property of anyperson. This would take care of shooting on or across roads. At this point we were accused of instructing our game wardens not to enforce the laws. Later, the Attorney General’s office suggested that, in counties with local ordinances, we consult with the Commonwealth’s Attorneys to determine how the law's will be enforced. In counties without ordinances we will enforce S 18.2-286 and in some cases, S 18.2-56.1. The decisions to take the aforementioned actions were made by the staff in an effort to do a better job of law enforcement. Neither Mr. Sutton nor any other members of the Commission participated in the discussions. For years we have been asked why some migratory game bird cases were taken to federal courts while others went to state courts. Because we had no firm policy, there was no justifiable reason for such actions. More than a year ago game wardens west of 1-95 were instructed to take all migratory game bird cases to state courts. This has never been questioned and it has caused no problems. The decision was made this year to expand the policy statewide. Attempts have been made in the press to link this action with the Frank Everest case. There is absolutely no connection. This case was initiated by federal personnel and they requested our assistance. Since the case was handled by federal people it was taken to'federal court, which conforms with our existing policy. 1 To further clarify this policy, most federal violations are also state violations. Under our policy these will be brought to state courts. This results in less court time for our wardens, meaning more time in the field; and any fines assessed will return to the State Literary Fund and not the federal government. Some cases, such as waterfowl stamp, Black Bass Act, and Lacey Act violations, are purely federal in nature and will be brou^it to federal court. R.H. CRpSS.JR. ExecutiveiDirector -From Both BarrelsJoe Fisher’s ‘Leap Of Faith’ By GEORGE BOWLES Barring the possible emergence of some hitherto unmentioned candidate, it is becoming increasingly likely that State Secretary of Human Resources Joseph Fisher will capture the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate this year. For many months the former 10th District Congressman has been “testing the waters" as he examined the political realities involved in seeking his party’8 nod to oppose incumbent Republican John Warner in next November's balloting. Fisher says he has received advice that is both “encouraging and cautionary,” but as time passes, his views are becoming “more positive” toward a bid for the nomination. That nomination will be bestowed when the party holds its state convention in Norfolk on May 18-19. Other names, of course, are being (or have been) discussed as possible nomi nees. Former Del. Edythe Harrison of Norfolk is a declared candidate for the nomination. While she enjoys a reputation as a determined and aggressive , campaigner, party insiders 1 say she has neither the statewide name recognition nor the appeal to the state’s vast reservoir of independent voters which would be essential tor a credible cnauenger to wamer. The most frequently mentioned potential candidate has been Sen. Hunter Andrews of Hampton who, as minority leader of the upper house, is one of the most respected and powerful members of the General Assembly. At midweek, however, Andrews said he is “leaning way” from running. He thus appears to have taken himself out of the potential candidate category. Others who are either admittedly or reportedly interested in the nomination include Sen. Edward Holland of Arlington and Alexandria attorney William Thomas, a close confidant of Gov. Charles S. Robb. Robb, of course, is every Democrat’s favorite for the nomination and is seen as the potential candidate who would have the best chance of unhorsing Wamer. The governor, however, has repeatedly disavowed interest in going to the Senate at this time. Some still contend, however, that he has not absolutely ruled out running if he should be drafted by the convention. Interestingly, there were whispers around Democratic headquarters last week about an unidentified “mystery candidate” of high promise who might jump into the race. Sources were tight-lipped about who this might be, and even about whether or not he or she is presently in public life. Then too, some Democrats have been boosting De. Mary Sue Terry of Stuart as having high potential and growing statewide appeal. Del. Terry, however, insista that she has no interest in the Sentate bid and appears to be gearing up to run for attorney general in 1985. Thus, attention is focusing increasingly on r isher as the party’s standard bearer. ", - '* * Fisher, 69, served in the Congress ffrom 1975 until 1981. Earlier he had received his baptism of political fire as chairman of the Arlington County Board of Supervisors. With the advent of the Robb administration in 1982, he was appointed to his present post. During his tenure in Congress, Fisher was tarred as a liberal by his GOP opponents and, on occasion, by the editorial writers of the Richmond newspapers. Actually, as his service in Richmond has show; he is a political moderate whose philosophy is far closer to that of Robb than to that of the party’s noisy left wing. His tough-minded administration of the Human Resources secretariat, which handles the state’s welfare programs, has earned him the applause of many of his former conservative critics. Fisher does not find the prospect of challenging the popular Warner daunting, but he recognizes the difficulties involved. Just as Fisher is far from the wild-eyed liberal painted by his conservative critics, Warner is by no means the right-wing ideologue often described by the Democrats. He will be a difficult political target. In addition, Warner is reputed to have already built a campign warchest in the $1 million range, while Fisher’s fund-raising effort has yet to get off the ground. This does not worry Fisher. “If a lack of funds bothered me,’’ he said, “I would never have run for Congress in the first place. I believe the voters will respond to an intellectual, emotional and moral commitment as well as to a heavily financed campaign. I really don’t believe the voters regard the ability to raise money as the principal qualiciation for holding public office. Some Democrat has to make this leap of faith.” Democratic party elders are careful to avoid a public commitment this early in the game to any of the possible candidats. Some—including Fisher—still harbor the hope that Robb will change his mind. (“I would support him in an instant,” Fisher told me.) But unless this happens, a growing number of top party leaders are privately coming to the conclusion that Fisher might be their strongest candidate. At least, in a year when Warner’s stock is flying high and other Democratic possiblities are reluctant dragons, they see Fisher as a highly plausible candidate who is willing to take the “leap of faith. ” Friends Missed To the editor: I would like to take this way of thanking my many anonymous good friends in Washington for their thoughtfulness in sending me a bouquet of beautiful red roses in a crystal vase at Christmas.

Panthers Win Three To Take First In Bull Run District By jim McCullough Rappahannock News Special Writer The cheer “We’re Number One!” is already echoing through Rappahannock County High School as the Panthers begin their run for a repeat performance as Bull Run District’s basketball champs. After a disappointing start to the season with four losses against non-district foes, the Panthers swung into high gear just before Christmas break and they’ve been cruising ever since. After defeating George Mason, Clarke and Strasburg, ranked fifth preseason in Virginia’s single “A” division by the Roanoke Times, the Panthers hold the number one slot as the only undefeated Bull Run team in district play. The first victory came on December 22 against George Mason as the RCHS boys gave coach Doyle Dawson an early Christmas present. The Panthers dominated the entire game, allowing the Mustangs to take the leuii only twice and both times by a single point. Tommy Jenkins exploded to put the Rapp machine in motion, scoring six points. RCHS and George Masonthen traded baskets to makfit 13-10 at the first period buzzer.

The Mustangs battled back and even grabbed the advantage by one but they couldn’t hold on and by the half the visitors from Falls Church slipped behind, 33-31. It was back and forth, up and down the court as the two teams ran neck and neck in the third quarter. But with the tally at 43-44, Mustangs up, George Mason was charged with a technical foul. Momentum changed to the Panthers’ side as RCHS closed the third quarter on top, 51-48. \ A Defensive Show Rapp’s defense blew the game open early in the final period. An impressive—and effective—full court press forced turnovers and when the Mustangs managed to hold on to the ball long enough to shoot, Tommy Sisk, Tommy Jenkins and Clarence Pendleton were underneath the basket, just waiting to block the attempt. Meanw'hile, at the other end, Rob Brown and Pendleton went on a hot streak to stretch the difference to 63-52. The spark that Brown and Pendleton ignited burst into a flame when Jenkins slammed the ball homet.off a block from Pendleton and a pass from Sisk. The dunk broke the spirit of the Mustangs. From then on, it was all Rappahannock, as coach Daw son cleared his bench on the way to a 72-58 rout. Dawson attributed the win to Rappahannock’s fourth quarter press which led to crucial turnovers. The only bright spot for j the Mustangs came at the 1 foul line where the George Mason squad was perfect, 1 shooting 100 percent to con- i lect on 16 of 16 attempts. : Road win Returning from the “I Christmas break, the Panth- 1 ;rs hit the road to Clarke * bounty for their second dis- J •rict game and second dis- s riet win. This one w'as a cliff < langer as the Eagles re- c used to give up until a f juzzer shot by Tom Sisk c jave RCHS a 53-51 victory. c The Panthers outplayed t Clarke for much of the game f >ut then almost beat them- t elves with fouls. Dawson turned to this bench for help and they didn’t let the coach down. The substitutes “played like veterans,” he noted. Clarence Pendleton started Rapp’s offense, scoring six points in the opening minutes. But the Panthers only managed two more in the opening period which ended 8-10, Clarke ahead. The Eagles continued to hold the stronger hand through most of the second quarter, leading by as many as six points on three different occasions but the Panthers fought back with baskets from Rob Brown and Mike DelGrosso and free throws from Pendleton. The visitors from RCHS trailed by only a point, 20-21, at the half. Brown In The Spotlight It was Rob Brown’s turn to shine at the start of the third period as he tossed in six points while Clarke only managed one free throw, giving the Panthers a comfortable 26-22 edge. They made it a little more comfortable by the close of the quarter, unleashing a scoring barrage that upped the tally to 38-30. But Clarke wasn’t ready to concede. They battled back to a three point deficit midway through the final period when Tommy Jenkins was sent to the bench with five fouls and 3:10 left. The Eagles hit on both free throws to cut Rapp’s margin to one. Panther fans started to sweat a little as Pendleton managed only one of two foul shots to push Rapp’s advantage back to a shakey two pojnts with only 1:33 left. r Then Tony Sisk fouled mto a three point play. The Eagle at the foul line Iropped the ball through the let and it was 48-49, Clarke. The pressure was on the ^anthers. Sunstitute Robert Starks recaptured the I£ad or RCHS with a great baseine move and DelGrosso asured at least an overtime rame for the Panthers with steal and free throw as the lock ticked down to 25 secnds.

Top Ranked Opponent After Clarke, Rappahannock had to prepare for the Strasburg Rams, ranked fifth among the state’s single “A" schools. But the Panthers showed how unimpressed they were by the pollsters as they downed the Rams, 84-75, before home fans last week. Playing emotionally charged basketball, the RCHS squad rolled to a 6-0 lead before the Rams got on the board. The defense held the Strasburg scorers in check as the Panthers upped the difference to eight, 2113, at the close of the first period. The second quarter brought more of the same. The Rams who were ranked fifth in the state apparently didn’t bother making the trip to Sperryville. Guard Jeff Porter went to Mike DelGrosso twice using the exact same play on consecutive trips down court to score four against the sleeping Strasburg defense and give Rapp a 12 point advantage. The Rams trimmed that to eight at the half and then mounted a drive of their own when play resumed. The Rams came back to within four, the closest they would get, and appeared to have momentum1 on their side. But the Panthers wouldn’t be denied. Baskets by Tommy Jenkins and Clarence Pendleton moved RCHS back up by eight and reclaimed , momentum for the hqmgleam. The fourth quarter was all Rappahannock at both ends of the court. The Panthers’ dominance pushed the Strasburg coach into losing his poise which cost him a two shot technical. Rob Brown made one of the free throws and then swished a long distance jumper to make it 65-50. Playing his best game of the year. Brown scored again to give the Panthers their biggest advantage, 67-50. The Rams tried to hold their embarassment to single digits, shaving off a few points from the margin in the closing minutes and tossing up a last shot with 24 seconds left to end the contest at 84-75. They played their best gamgjj£ihe_season, keeping )Heir intensity up for all four quarters,” coach Dawson said of his boys. It was a perfect example of balanced scoring as four of the five starters hot double figures. Tom Sisk connected for a team high 19, followed by Tommy Jenkins with 18, Rob Brown with 17 and Clarence Pendleton with 16. The only starter not in double figures, guard Jeff Porter, added a respectable six points. But he was dazzling in another category, paving the way for his team mates to score with 13 assists, a new single game record for RCHS. Game Change. The basketball game set for January 16 between the Rappahannock Panthers and Madison Mountaineers^has been rescheduled to January 23. The contest will be played at RCHS. —Rappahannock New* Photo/Ginger Perry FLYIN’ HIGH — Guard Jeff Porter soars through the air for two points in last week’s win over Strasburg, the team previously ranked fifth in the state in the single “A” division.

Arundel Gives Future Home To Gold Cup ^—The permanent future site of the 62^year old Virginia Gold Cup steeplechase classic and other large open field events has been donated to a non-profit community foundation by news executive Arthur W. Arun(td. The property, recently named Great Meadow, includes over 100 acres of land planned for steeplecashing and other courses located near the 1-66 interchange at The Plains, Virginiarft was deeded -last' w'gek to the Meadow Outdoors Foundation which wilPmanage the site in permanent open space for activities benefitting local charitable organizations. Arundel said he plans to give additional adjacent land to the Foundation, “as it may be needed for these events and educational projects involving wildlife and the ecosystem.” UJntil purchased by Anmdel in early 1982, the spectacularjy_beautiful piece of Fauquier Cbuqty farmland, running along\almost two miles of Routes fa^and 245, had been zoned for one acre housing development Most of this road frontage is now being developed by the Foundation as a large wildlower meadow in cooperation with the Virginia Wildflower Society. Arundel, a Marine paratroop officer in both the Korean and Vietnam war#, and himself a former steeplechase rider, is the founder and the chief executive officer') of a newspaper and broadcasting company based in Washington. He is publisher'of the Rappahannock News, Fauquier Democrat, Loudoun Times Mirror. Reston Times and Clarke Courier. Accepting the gift, the Foundation Trustees said, “In an increasingly crowded nation with such large pieces of land for these events gradually disappearing, Great Meadow will provide a permanent open space green theater preserved from development to engage the graceful drama ahd color of these sports for tl«^general public and to perpetuate by our support the volunteer spirit and work of our community fire and rescue squads. For the community and legacy of these great sports, we are grateful for Mr. Arundel’s characteristic quiet thoughtfulness in making this possible.” His gift comes after more than two years of planning and work bv the Foundation to establish and preserve the site its the permanent home of the Virginia Gold Cup steeplechase races and several other non-profit major international class events in the Washington area requiring large turf space. The project has been seen as an alternative to commel'cial development for use of farm land. Located about 45 minutes from downtown Washington between Routes 66 and 17, Great Meadow is being designed to comfortably handle-traffic and parking 'fer^up to 10,000 cars, together with facilities for future television network sports coverage of steeplechasing, three day events and similar colorful field sports. The first event at the site will be a major new American steeplechase event, the Great Meadow Races, next October 20th. The Virginia Gold Cup will run its last meeting this coming May at Broadview near Warrenton and move to Great Meadow in 1985. , The Foundation is seeking tax deductible contributions to complete construction of the courses and essential public facilities.

Still charged up by their tremendous victory over “AA” Madison, whose smallest starter was taller than Rappahannock’s tallest, the JV walked over George Mason, 42-23. Mason kept it close early, even taking the lead away after Rapp’s careless mistakes and missed layups. The score was tied at the end of the first quarter, eight all, but the Mustangs were never close from that point on. After Christmas vaca- ' tion, the Junior Panthers traveled to Clarke County where they were edged out by the Eagles, 30-29. With one second left, Thomas ' Rector went to the foul line < to shoot two free throws. If I he made one, the contest t went into overtime; if he t made two, the Panthers < won. Unfortunately, both were just barely off the mark. But the Eagles didn’t really defeat the boys from Sperry ville—the Junior Panthers beat themselves. They fought with each other over the ball, frequently losing it to an alert Clarke player as a result, and they shot a miserable 33 percent—five of 15—from the line. But the RCHS JV was back on track—and how!— at home last week against the Strasburg Rams, burying the visitors, 50-16. Defense was the key for Rappahannock. From the beginning, the outcome was never in doubt as the Panthers streaked to an 11-4 lead in the first period. They didn’t stop there, continuing o capitalize on a Strasburg earn that couldn't do anvhing right. Coach Waters ■leared the bench early in he fourth and the substiutes poured it on, padding he lead to an embarrasing 4 points at the final buzzer.

Ihey were right about last week’s column. There was something missing. Sometimes when you get to the bottom of the page you just have to stop cuz a newspaper can only be so long, but Barbara wanted us to hit you again with this New Year's resolution because it seemed like such good advice to her: “Never stand close to a man who chews tobacco." Here's another piece of advice, this from Nancy Schoppet: If you want the best beer and some music that will make your feet fling by themselves, go to the Irish Pub in White Oak. Maryland. It's a little far to drive for a drink, but like we said it’s the best, so what can you do? That’s why Nancy and Richard went here when Robin and Max acre visiting from Southern California over New Year's. Robin is the “Cupid" who Hatched up two people with five kids. Nancy says they all toasted her at their fifth anniversarv on December 20. “Little" Richard celebrated his 15th birthday last weekend. He had a little money so he spent the day shopping at Tyson’s Corner with Richie Dodson from Viewtown. Nancy also reports a ■ “casual little last minute thing” involving eight |)eople at Blue Knoll on New Year’s Eve. Doris Donald reported that she and Frank attended the Statler-Jenkins wedding at the chapel of William and Mary in Williamsburg last Saturday.

CONFIDENT, quick and correct “Whiz Kids” beat the Boosters in an early practice match. The team consisted of (1-r): Jonathan Watson, James Dennis, Dawn Watson, Kenny Jenkins and Cheryl Atcheson. Whiz Kids Ready To Roll By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock Ne**SlalTWriler When the Rappahannock Whiz Kids face the Bath County team in two weeks, they will have taken on ever) possible combination of brains in the county. The practice matches have prepared a starting line-up of quick-on-thebuzzer astute answerers. Advisor Roger Fincham says the first team to be seen over WVPT-TV on January 2t> include Ann Oliver. Cheryl Atchison, Will Oliver and Jonathan Watson. To practice, the Whiz Kids took on the central office administration staff and the week before “tried on” the alumni. The team risked pressing the buzzer against some college seniors, whom Fincham described as “former grads who have gone on to some success” who were home for Christmas break. Fincham says Rappahannock has an fdge over other counties because of its “experienced team.” RCHS was the only school in the state last year to start younger students—below their junior year. Last year’s team had two juniors, a sophomore, a freshman and an 8th grader, Fincham said. They're back and they have television studio experience. So they won’t freeze when the lights go on. This year other districts have added some younger students. Fincham noted. "We think we influenced them.” Fincham says the underclassmen are no slouches. They've all been tested and proved in competition. It’s not a matter of grade point average or grade level that counts. Fincham says, but how well each does in contest. "If they make it to the top, they deserve to be there.” Rap Beauty Students Win Two Rappahannock students did well in the annual cosmetology contest at Piedmont Technical Education Center. Melissa Dennis took first place in the finger waving competition and second place in hair styling. Christal Vest won the'third place trophy in hair styling. The skill contest is sponsored each year to recognize the achievement of individual students. Local beauticians judge the students as they work within time limits to create the loveliest hair designs. Madison’s Donna Anderson took first place in hair CMH Offers Prenatal Classes A series of four prenatal education classes for expectant parents will begin January 0 anti run through January 30 at Culpeper Memorial Hospital. As part of the CMH family-centered matemal/child program, the classes will teach information on anatomy and physiology of pregnancy. labor and delivery, hygiene and nutritional needs during pregnancy, post|>artum and newborn care. As a part of the class, ex)>ectant parents will go on a tour of CMH’s obstetric unit including labor and delivery areas. The classes, taught by the head nurse in the obstetric unit Wilma Myers. RN, and Terri Artale. RN. are geared for expectant parents who want to learn more about the process of childbirth.

The classes will be taught on four consecutive Monday evenings, January 9. 1(>, 23, 30 from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m.. in the hospital conference room. The cost of the series is $15.

He says they arrived thanks to the efforts of Peggy Woodward and Randolph Clater. RCHS assistant principal Toth says Woodward raised approximately $200 towards the new uniforms by soliciting various individuals dnd groups. Clater. operator of the Corner Store in Sperryville, told Toth he would foot the bill for the rest of it, Toth said. The contribution was most a matter of school spirit, Toth thought. The present gold uniforms had started to turn the greenish corosive color of an old coin. The girls’ basketball team was district champion last year, yet the school suffered from the lowest sports budget in a long time. The weather hit the baseball season last year, Toth explained, lowering the take at the gate each game from about $80 to about $20. Soccer didn’t carry itself last year, either, Toth said. “So we didn’t have the money to order the uniforms and wanted to finish the year in the black.” That was when Woodward started a fund drive to buy the new snoria atiu shirts. “She was really the one that got the ball rolling,” he said. The new uniforms are bright white with gold and navy trim—so they won’t corrode. The only problem was that they didn’t arrive until “after^ the season—as always is the case,” Toth said. They arrived around the first of December and are waiting for next year’s team. Toth said the school wanted to thank Woodward and Clater and all the others who helped make the fund drive a success. Study Shows Low School Funding A recently released nationwide study by the Virginih Education Association (VEA) shows the state near the bottom of the list in current per pupil expenditures for public schools. Virginia ranked 30 among 50 states and the District of Columbia. The commonwealth clitrtfcbd two notches from 32 during the 1981-82 school year. Virginia rose from third to second place among the 12 southern states in educational spending, however. The study called “Where Virginia Ranks” offers data on 125 different items' that relate to education—ranging from how many children are born in each state every year to the number of dentists, federal workers and physicians living in each area. While no combination of such measures can offer a complete evaluation of a state’s success in educating its children, VEA spokesmen point out, the several sets of statistics show a strong indication of a state’s approximate position in relation to the rest of the country. Among those statistics: Virginia ranked below 33 other states in teachers’ salary in 1981-82. The effective buying income of Virginia families compares well (16th in 51) yet tax revenue is low. As a percentage of personal income, Virginia schools rank 45th in 51 in state and local revenues. According to the report, 40 other states are advancing teachers’ salaries at a greater rate than Virginia. All but one southern state have increased teachers’ salaries at a higher rate than Virginia. However, Virginia ranks second among the 12 southern states in estimated average teachers’ salaries this year. The others have further to go to catch up with the national average and less money with which to do it, according to the survey. Mississippi, for example, has the lowest per capita personal income ($7,408 in 1981) of any state in the union. Virginia ranked 23 at $10,349. The VEA added that per capita personal income in Virginia has risen by 159 percent during the past decade. During that time the state’s teachers’ salaries rose 97 percent. VEA research director Ralph Shotwell says such comparisons show that Virginia can do more to support the state's schools. Shotwell believes Virginia remains substantially behind other states in its financial commitment to public education.
