Rappahannock sent out 7,522 tax bills, Foster reported, totaling $1,065,165.39. The bills were due by December 5 to avoid a penalty charge. Foster expects to collect the majority of the outstanding amounts. She said some taxpayers allow their personal property taxes to remain unpaid until April when they get their new county stickers. County tags go on sale March 1, according to Foster. All previous taxes, penalties and interest must be paid before they may be obtained. Icy Roads Take Toil Icy roads led to a scattering of minor traffic accidents around the county in the past week. Last Tuesday night, January 10, Sheriff John Henry Woodward was caught in the unexpected ice storm at around 6:45 p.m. Traveling north from Woodville on Route 522, he lost control of his 1983 Chevette on the slick road, hit a bank and flipped the car. Neither Woodward nor his family members who were passengers were Injured in the accident. However, the ear was totaled. v Monday morning, January 16, Kenny Pullen was travelling on Route 522 in Flint Hill, crested a hill and hit his brakes to avoid a slow moving vehicle. His 1982 Datsun skidded into a Ford van coming from the opposite direction driven by Larry Andrick of Mt. Jackson. The collision spun Pullen’s car out of control and it hit a residence on Route 522 owned by Dr. Werner Krebser, according to Trooper R. A. Baines. The statej trooper re(Continued on Page 2) Deadline Nears For Dog Tags “People are just not buying dog tags. I’ve checked with all the wardens around here and it's a problem throughout the area,” said Rappahannock dog warden Jack Bruce. “I’ve been warning people who haven’t bought their tags, telling them that I'll give them One more chance to comply with the law, but I’m going to stop that after the January 31st deadline. Then if a dog doesn’t have a tag, I’m going to issue a summons, not a warning,” Bruce said. “I’m giving people every chance to purchase their tags before the deadline,” the dog warden said, announcing that he has scheduled a second rabies vaccination clinic for January 28. On that date, Dr. F.M. Graves will be at the Rappahannock County Park on Route 211 across the highway from the town of Washington from 10 to 11 a.m. to give innoculations good for three years for $3.50. Proof of current rabies Vaccination is the only prerequisite for buying dog tags. Certification must be presented to the county treasurer before she issues tags for 1983-84. Tags are $3 for male and spayed female dogs, $5 for unspayed females, $5 for male and spayed female German shepherds, $10 for unspayed female German shepherds.

Cold Facts: "\ SnouiJob Done On Local Schedules >* { . Humors were abounding in Washington Tuesday about the weather. It’s supposed to come tonight—said one. This afternoon—said another. Four or five inches said the first. No, six or seven, said the other. By Wednesday morning the weather was no longer a subject for rumohs but rather a substantial, extremely tangible substance on the streets, cars, cows, and anything else standing outside. The latest forecast—eight inches. And school was closed again. Monday’s partial opening wasn’t counted a snow day under state standards, school officials said. But with Wednesday, four snow days had been exhausted to date. And Thursday (today) was expected to be another. SperryviUe weather watcher Dennis Wingfield says the Channel 4 meteorologists were more than routinely interested in his report late last Friday. The forecaters had called for “light” snow along the mountains—one to two inches or less. Wingfield measured three inches in SperryviUe; and the television announcers explained his figure in terms of the “upflow” of air currents along the mountains which can bring more snow than expected to the immediate area. Wingfield described Friday’s situation as ranging; from snow to drizzle and' back to moderate or hejtvy snow. He says he spoke with Channel 4 reporters right “when Mother Nature was kind of doing its thing.” The peculiar part about Friday’s storm was that it struck mostly west of Woodville. While businesses were closing early Friday evening in Culpeper in anticipation of hazardous weather, that county was clear during the afternoon. Not so here. By Monday, Wingfield was enjoying the day’s high temperature—“a blistering 29.” Little melting was occurhowever, and Wingfiekl didn’t expect it to if the trend continues. During eight of the past 16 days, he said, the high temperatures has not reached freezing. Compared to last year, it has been a colder January so far. During the first two weeks, the daytime temperature averaged nearly seven Tree Root Interrupts Town Water Service A tree root left Washington residents without water over part of the weekend. THE ROOT of the problem. Bruce Critzer spotted water gushing out of the ground Saturday afternoon on Blue Ridge Avenue just past the Washington Cash Store and notified Ray Pullen, overseer of the town’s water system. “It was too late then to dig up the line and repair whatever was the trouble,” Mayor Newbill Miller reported, so Pullen monitored the reservoir and when the water level dropped to four feet at around 11 p.m. that night, he shut down the system. Water was turned on again Sunday morning from 7 to 9:30 when repair work began. The problem lay with a large tree root that had grown between the 4-inch cast iron line and the ground and cracked the line, according to Miller. “There was nothing wrong with the pipe — no rust, no deterioration,” he said, adding that the crack occurred in the cast iron pipe, not the galvanized pipe that gives the town most of its problem with water system leaks. Workers were able to repair the crack with a sleeve by 4 p.m. Sunday afternoon. “It was a perfect example of cooperation,” Mayor Miller said. “Bruce and Steve Critzer, Ray Pullen and Thurman Whorton worked all day. It made me feel good to know that people are still willing to give up their Sundays to help out in an emergency." nn,,rr -Rappahannock News PholoD Hmchmson BRUCE CRITZER closed the hole over Washington’s water line repairs early Monday morning. J HS Architect Chosen By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock Newi Staff Writer Rappahannock is a step closer towards a better high school building. The Rappahannock School Board Tuesday chose the architectural firm Baughan & Baukhages of Luray for a preliminary study for the high school renovation. The same company drew up plans for the new bus shop/administration building as well as specifications for the re-roofing currently under way at the elementary school. In selecting Baughan & Baukhages, the School Board members called the company “a known quantity.” Said Randall Updike, “They’re close. They understand the area.” With a motion from Paul Nichols, the choice was unanimous. Chairman Beverly Massie expressed what the board wanted in an architect. “They need to know rural districts with their special concerns,” she said. The board was open to suggestions on design, she said, but didn’t want a company likely to push current vogues or extremes in school design. The Luray company was chosen over McClintock Associates of Harrisonburg and Gauthier and Alvarado Associates of Falls Church. School superintendent Robert Estabrook said representatives of all three firms had met with him, toured Rappahannock’s high school, and studied plans of the existing building. Each offered to do the feasibility study and “cost out” for a fee of $1,500 to be credited against normal architectural fees should the firm be chosen for final design and administration of the construction contract. Estabrook and Massie pointed out that selection of Baughan & Baukhages for the preliminary work doesn’t obligate the school system to hire the -ompany for later work. Bids would be taken on final design. The company is expected to complete its report within four weeks after it receives its notice to proceed. The construction estimates would, be ready for the board’s several budget meetings which were set for March. Estrabrook said the company would provirif six copies of the study whfclwwilJ become the property of the school. They will also make a “preliminary determination of the capacity of the existing ouilaing and its systems to accommodate the project," develop' an “architectural program of requirements based on state standards to satisfy space needs”, make schematic plans to show space needs, describe materials and building systems that would be needed and budget a cost estimate, according to Estabrook. All of this information would be used to present the School Board’s building related budget requests to the board of supervisors. According to Massie, the board has $2,000 in this year’s budget 'for a costing study of high school building needs. The board had asked Estabrook to find three firms that might be interested in the project. Estabrook said ne would have been “pleased to. work with any one.” Zoning Amendments Proposed Council Compromises On Inn Conditions By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock New* Staff W liter The trees stay in front of The Inn at Little Washington; and the town’s zoning ordinance gets some new amendments. That’s the upshot of the continuing controversy between the Washington Town Council and The Inn’s owners. At their regular meeting last Wednesday (January 11), town council members unanimously voted to modify the conditions they had previously placed on The Inn’s variance. The building project involves adding overnight accommodations and expanding the kitchen. Council had been concerned about adequate parking. The Inn countered that it has sufficient parking through its lease agreement to share the parking lot at Trinity Episcopal Church. One condition had been removal of the trees at either end of The Inn’s parking lot before building could continue. Also, the portion of the front fence which protrudes beyond the building line was to be dismantled. The Inn had obtained a building permit by revising plans to eliminate the work at the back of the building, thus circumventing the need Roofing Contract Awarded The Rappahannock School Board has accepted the low bid from E.M. Martin Company of Charlottesville for partial re-roofing at the elementary school. The board received bids at a special January 3 meeting. E.M. Martin bid $19,257 while the other bidder, Texas Roofing Corporation of Clearbrook bid $20,835, according to assistant superintendent Tom Campbell. for a variance. However, The Inn’s lawyer David Dickey argued that the conditions were illegal. He maintained his clients ought to be allowed to do the complete renovation without any conditions: In fact, Dickey claimed that the entire town zoning ordinance was illegal and he was ready to sue to prove it. Compromise Condition After discussing the situation in executive session with town attorney Douglas Baumgardner Wednesday, the council adopted a resolution to modify the conditions. They accepted a substitute suggestion similar to that which had been offered by Dickey at the December council meeting: that if at any future time parking becomes a problem, the town could either call for restoration of the two parking spaces in front of The Inn which are now covered by the planters or require the restaurant to provide additional spaces within 600 feet of the building. The substitute condition reads as follows: “Inasmuch as provision of parking space for The Inn is dependent on a continuation of the lease' , between The Inn and Trin ity Episcopal Church relative to the parking lot on the property of said church, said variance and the right of The Inn to provide accommodations for overnight guests is expressly condi'ttoWHl tm The Irm’s adherence to all provisions of the zoning ordinance of the Town of Washington relating to the provision of parking space. Specifically, if the parking lot of Trinity Episcopal Church is no longer available to The Inn, for any reason, or if The Inn, for any reason, cannot meet the requirements of the town ordinance relating to parking. The Inn shall be required to replace said parking spaces in a manner that complies with the requirements of said ordinance.” Councilman Brad Fisher moved to adopt the resolution to remove the previous conditions. It was supported by C.E. Giles and passed unanimously. (Dorothy Clayter was absent due to a death in the family.) Zoning Vote “Our zoning ordinance has been assailed. Do you want to take any stopgap measures?” Mayor Newbill Miller then asked. Fisher’s motion to adopt (Continued on Page 2) Campbell says no starting date has been set, but that work is expected to begin over the gym and cafeteria portion of the building. The scope of the project may be expanded later, Campbell added. The completion date will be set when the contract is signed, he said. In other business the. board completed review of the revised policy manual. The rough draft was sent to consultant Graham Beckel for further review and will return to the school board before final approval. Board members Beverly Massie, Nancy Reeve and Paul Nichols were present. Randall Updike was absent and no replacement had been appointed to fill the vacancy created by Nelson Lane’s election to the board of supervisors. Community Service Offers Second Chance By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock New» Staff W ritcr Organizing a spaghetti dinner for a Boy Scout troop doesn’t sound like grueling punishment, but that was the sentence imposed on former Redskins star Larry Brown when he was brought to court on an assault charge. Instead of spending 19 years in prison for distributing cocaine, Redskins safety Tony Peters spent 500 hours helping a Fairfax nonprofit agency counsel youths about drugs. But alternative sentencing is not just for the famous or for unusual cases. District Court Judge John Alexander recently reduced charges against two young suspects in a burglary to trespassing and assigned each of them to serve 30 hours of community service. Alexander says he’s “real pleased with it” and has been busy developing more work sites to use the “volunteers.” Alexander had onjai, woman spend two weeks* doing filing in his office.' Other women have been assigned to run errands for the district nursing home. The workers are often assigned to the Fauquier County Parks and Recreation Department where they do maintenance work or to volunteer fire and rescue squads where they wash the fire trucks or clean the stations. The workers are available to any non-profit group willing to assume the responsibility for supervising them and seeing that they ;]lut in the required number >qf hours. No Cost To Supervisors No money changes hands, Alexander added, so participants pay no workmens compensation, social security or other labor related expenses. Alexander said any church groups or non-profit institutions interested in getting some of the free labor could contact Susan Waddell at the Warrenton VASAP office or Dean Irvin or Jeff Pearson in Culpeper. “With spring coming, they can use them to do some landscaping, painting,” he suggested. One of the best parts is that the program is self supporting, he said. Alexander says the pro gram is particularly effective for younger offenders. “It depends on the individual,” he said. “Some you just can’t do it with. Yqu have to pick and choose your customers. It’s mainly for first time offenders, bad check artists, shoplifting.” Alexander says community service is more effective than imposing a fine in a lot of cases because “a doesn’t mean anything if they don’t pay anyway.* This way, he says, the community gets something oik of the law breakers. At the (Continued on Page 2)

Council (Continued from Page 1) a resolution to refer recent zoning questions to the county Planning Commission also unanimously passed. The joint town/eounty Planning Commission will be requested to offer “curative amendments” to the town's 1971 zoning ordinance until the Rappahannock Rapidan Planning District Commission can help the town in “a comprehensive review and revision" of the regulations. Miller says he spoke with planning district executive director Wayne Cilimberg who promised to call back when the work could start. Cilimberg was promoted in November from his position as senior planner: the office is now one planner short. Miller said he expected work could start on the town’s new ordinance after the first of February. At the same time, Baumgardner will work with Rappahannock's representatives to the General Assembly to introduce revisions in the town charter in time for the 1985 session. The town is presently operating under an 1894 charter which lacks clear town boundaries and confers insufficient powers on the town council, according to Baumgardner. He added that he has already started work on the new charter using a sample form provided by State Senator Kevin Miller. Meanwhile, the new zoning ordinance must set forth the exact town boundaries and the various districts within, according to Baumgardner. It must also provide for appointment of a town Board of Zoning Appeals. One of Dickey’s contentions was that the Town Council lacks stature as a Board of Zoning Appeals, one of the questions the council expects the joint Planning Commission to address in its amendments to the 1971 ordinance code. (Continued from Page 1) same time, the court considers that assigning commumty service is “giving them a pnviledge,” if it works, he doesn’t get thanks because they never return to court I only see them if they mess up, he says, “if they don’t show up or if they show up irunk or if they loaf... ” Luke Likes Program The county’s new Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke says there are two main benefits to alternative sentencing. The program offers offenders a second chance while inflicting a punishment. It also relieves the taxpayers of the cost of more customary punishment. “The expense of each day in jail is phenomenal,” he said, adding that he wouldn’t rate one benefit above the other. Luke agreed that offenders must be judged “case by case. For some it’s appropriate, for some not.” He said he would recommend community service more often Icy Roads L ontinued from Page 1 ported Pullen's vehicle as a total loss but only minor damages to Andrick’s van and Krebser’s house. No charges were filed in the accident. Icy roads sent one school bus on the Slate Mills/Peola Mills run sliding into a ditch last Thursday, according to school superintendent Robert Estabrook. Neither students nor driver were hurt and there was no damage to the bus, he added. The only other problem came in Harris Hollow where the driver was forced to stop and put on chains before the school bus could proceed, Estabrook said. An earlier accident investigated by Trooper Baines couldn’t be attributed to road conditions. On Sunday, January 8, Deborah Ann Naismith of Alexandria pulled from the stop sign at Massie’s Comer to make a left turn on Route 211. Her 1977 Toyota was struck by Jkmes Douglas Jenkins of Timberville who was westbound in a 1977 AMC station ■ wagon. According to Baines, Naismith’s car was totaled. A passenger in her vehicle, Jill Beth Breitbart of Miama, Florida, sustained minor injuries. The accident resulted in approximately $1,000 worth of damage to Jenkins’ station wagon. Naismith was charged with failure to yield right-ofway, Baines reported. In addition. she was ticketed for an expired inspection sticker and expired license plates. Snow_ (Continued from Page 1) degrees cooler during the daytime, five degrees cooler at night this year. Despite the flurries on Friday, Wingfield said there was less precipitation so far this year. During the first two weeks of January he measured .89 inches in Sperryville, compared to 1.42 for the same period in 1988. From a low of 13 degrees in Sperryville Sunday night, the cold was expected to continue, but maybe not quite as severe.

General District Court New Year Brings Light Dockets uia races took new places as the new year changed the roles in general district court. Often seen previously as attorney for the defense, Peter Luke took the other end of the table in his capacity as the county’s new commonwealth’s attorney. Former sheriff W. A. Buntin has continued to record sentences on the court docket, now as a volunteer court bailiff. January 10 Donnie Steve Jenkins received a 60 day suspended sentence after he was found guilty of threatening bodily harm to Timothy R. Jenkins (nt) relation) on December 14. Timothy Jenkins and both his parents testified that Donnie Jenkins had threatened to kill him after a dispute. Judge John Alexander dismissed charges of brandishing a firearm, but placed Jenkins, the defendant, on probation for a year. During that time he is to have no contact with Timothy or his parents. He must also pay court costs of $35. Also on the docket for the criminal division of district court that day, was the case of Robert Weaver. Charges of assault and battery brought against him by Paula Thompson were dismissed. Other cases heard that day included: Traffic Division Wesley Elliott Core, “DOC” GODFREY’S 1984 MAZDA PICK-UP TRUCK SHORTBED BASE MOIKl *5795 *5995 SE-5 - And - ALUMINUM CAMPER TUP January 20th thru 31st 40 TRUCKS M STUCK TO SELECT HIM GODFREY V.

When an Alexandria man appeared in General District Court on January 17 charged with failure to tag a deer at the place of kill, he argued that he hadn’t moved the deer yet and so hadn't broken the law. Jose M. Cedeno was hunting in Ben Venue on December 9 when state police ticketed him because he hadn’t “immediately tagged at the place of kill." District Court Judge John Alexander decided that the “immediate” outweighed the “place” and found Cedeno guilty as charged. However, he suspended the usual $50 fine because of Cedeno’s “sincere treatment” which led him to believe that the hunter had simply misinterpreted the law. Cedeno was ordered to pay $20 court costs.

Not for murderers is alternative sentencing, he said. It should be limited to lower grade offenses where there would be minimal danger to the public of having the person out on the streets and a minimal chance of repetition of the crime. The best bet is a person with no prior record. Former Commonwealth’s Attorney Douglas Baumgardner says he most often recommended community service in property related misdemeanors and for young first-time offenders. Some youthful offenders face mitigating circumstances where a jail record would hurt their chances for ■ achieving future ambitions, Baumgardner pointed out. In these cases, the court would consider the chance for rehabilitation greatest with the less severe sentence. Baumgardner has seen no studies on the program’s success at rehabilitation. However, he said community service was being imposed on increasing numbers of local offenders during the past year or two partly due to lack of jail space. Pearson Explains Program The state’s Community Diversion Incentive (CDI) program was designed in part to solve the problem of over-crowing, admits district CDI coordinator Jeff Pearson from the Culpeper office. He’s been working fulltime since September when the district was allocated its share of state CDI finding. During 1983 there were 125 people assigned to perform community service in the district, Pearson said. He presently has 25 work jptes, three of them in Rappahannock. Pearson did not name the sites, saying the program preserves their anonymity. ..Five people sentenced through the Rappahannock courts are currently doing work; he has about 40 altogether in the district right now, he said. Most of them are assigned to perform various types of maintenance work, Pearson said, but with the cold weather most outside work has come to a halt. The people will remain under his jurisdiction until they complete the required number of hours imposed by the judge. Each sentence includes a number of days in jail in the alternative, Pearson added. If the worker doesn’t show up for community service, he or she goes back to court. The judge pulls the records and orders the jail sentence be served. A typical sentence might be 30 hours of community service or ten days in jail. People who would lose time from work if they went to jail can do community service on the weekends, he added. “Some don’t need to be in jail,” Pearson pointed out, calling community service the greatest constructive type punishment. “It’s not a free ride,” he said. Luke described it basically the same. “It keeps the person from being a burden on the taxpayer while the person learns a lesson by performing labor." Forms of labor vary, Pearson explained. He tries to assign people to sites close to home and to jobs suited to their particular skills. Pearson has seen some professionals come through the program, he said — radio technicians, painters, carpenters. Their abilities can all be taken full advantage of at the several nonprofit organizations, churches and charitable groups offering work sites. A Look From Loudoun Loudoun County’s assis tant Commonwealth's Attorney Dean Worcester says it’s this community contribution aspect of the CDI program that forms its foundation. An appropriate retribution for a crime against the state is service to the state, Worcester explains. Worcester thinks community service is a good concept because “certain types of offenders are not chrome offenders •*- they’re on drugs or they fell in with the wrong crowd. Nobody was injured but themselves. But if you send them to the pen, they become hardened criminals. They learn to commit hard crimes.” And whereas it costs approximately $15,000 per year to maintain each prisoner in a penitentiary, it costs about $3,000 per year per inmate to operate a CDI program, with that money coming from the state, Worcester said. But he strongly opposed measuring the program in terms of money. The primary goal should be to rehabilitate and to punisrf offenders, he said. To assign people to community service because of the cost element or to alleviate over-crowding would be wrong if the offenders were not suitably motivated. “If the jails were so full they couldn’t take any more, then the answer would be to build more jails,” he said. Worcester echoed what Alexander, Luke and Baumgardner had said — that community service is most effective as a sentence for young, first time offenders involved in misdemeanors. Repeat offenders haven’t learned their lesson; they should not be given more than the second chance, he said. “Say someone forged a prescription. That person has a problem. He has victimized only himself. He should be made to do community service and get counseling. ” And be given a second :hance. r oreign & Americdil Car Repairs Specializing in German & Japanese Made Cars Jack’s Service Center 30 Ashby Street .

-Richmond Roundup-r 1984 General Assembly * Lawmakers Receive Assignments By SEAN ADAMS AnaM Nmptpm Richmond Bureau RICHMOND — Sen. Charles L. Waddell (DLoudoun/Fairfax) got his long-awaited committee chairmanship last Wednesday, but it wasn’t the one he expected. Mr. Waddell was appointed to head the Senate Transportation Committee. Throughout his re-election campaign last year, he said he expected to be head of the Local Government Committee. Senate Minority Leader William A. Truban (RWood8tock/27th District) remains on the Rules, Agriculture, Finance, General Laws and Privileges and Elections panels. And one of the seven newcomers to the Senate, Kevin G. Miller (R-Harrisonburg/26th), was appointed to four committees — Local Government, Privileges and Elections, Rehabilitation and Social Services, and Transportation. There were few changes in committee assignments for local members of the House of Delegates. They are as follows: Robert T. Andrews (R-Loudoun/33rd), Roads and Internal Navigation, Conservation and Natural Resources, and Mining and Mineral Resources; Raymond R. Guest Jr. (R-Front Royal/31st), Roads, Finance, and Agriculture; Thomas M. Moncure Jr. (R-Stafford/53rd), Courts of Justice, Labor and Commerce, Chesapeake and Its Tributaries; Kenneth R. Plum (D-Fairfax/36th), Corporations, Insurance and Banking; Conservation and Natural Resources, and Nominations and Confirmations (chairman); and Kenneth B. Rollins (R-Loudoun/32nd), Courts, Roads and Claims. Phone Meetings Governing bodies that want to conduct public business in meetings held over the telephone may have their phone lines cut, so to speak. A bill introduced by Del. Ralph L. Axselle Jr. (DHenrico) would ban such teleconference meetings. Gov. Charles S. Robb said last week he would support the bill. A Virginia Supreme Court decision last year held that the state Freedom of Information Act did not prohibit such teleconference meetings. Del. Axselle’s bill would amend the FOI to close the loophole that the court’s action opened. Lottery Chance? Despite Gov. Charles S. Robb’s opposition, two senators have introduced a bill to establish a state lottery. A lottery bill died last year in the House of Delegates. Robb said last week he is against it, but one of the senators, William E. Fears (D-Accomac), said the governor “didn’t say he’d veto it.” Pay Raises Fauquier County School Board members may be getting a pay raise this year. ACCELERATED OR STRAIGHT LINE If you buy residential real estate as an investment, should you use accelerated or straight line depreciation? Many accountants will recommend straight line because they reason that when you sell, you have to pay back the excess depreciation in the form of ordinary income taxes. If you think about it, this reasoning does not make sense. If you do not use accelerated methods, you have to pay tax on the same amount at ordinary income tax rates. By using accelerated, you postpone paying that ordinary tax until you sell. Furthermore, if you decide to exchange the property instead of sell ing it, you aren’t going to pay the recapture at all. So, you should use accelerated depreciation on residential property and take the deduction as soon and as fast as you can. Even if you sell, recapture is nothing more than the repayment of an interest-free loan from the government. To use straight-line on residential property is to throw away a. chance for an interest-free loan.

Horse Center A legislative subcommittee recommended last week delaying until 1985 a decision on where to place a state horse center. There are three proposed sites for the $4.5 million facility — Augusta County, Rockingham County and Roanoke. The facility would be used for horse shows and to promote the state’s horse industry, according to Del. Guest, who chairs the panel. Candidates Two probable candidates for the Democratic nomination for governor jockeyed for position and publicity this week. A fund-raising group for Del. Richard M. Bagley (D-Hampton) announced Monday that it raised $125,000 for Mr. Bagley last year. The group was formed in December 1982 to “test the political waters,” as the group put it, for Del. Bagley’s bid for governor. Mr. Bagley, 56, is chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. He has been a member of the House since 1966. The other candidate is Lt. Gov. Richard J. Davis of Portsmouth. A group of Tidewater business and community leaders announced last week that they have formed a committee to promote his candidacy. The group, called the Davis ’85'Committee, will be headed by Portsmouth attorney Herbert K. Bangel. Mr. Davis, 62, a lawyer and banker from Portsmouth, was elected lieutenant governor in 1981, and then lost a bid for the U.S. Senate in 1982. DAR WINNER Ann Oliver, named Rappahannock’s Good Citizen for 1983-84, was pinned by her mother, Mrs. W. W. Oliver of Sperryville, (left) and Mrs. Paul Frantz at last week's DAR meeting. Good Citizens- Awarded Medals Ann Oliver, Rappahannock’s DAR Good Citizen for 1983-84, received her medal from Mrs. Paul Frantz at the Culpeper Minute Men Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution meet Robb’s Budget Draws Fire By SEAN ADAMS Arundel Newspaper* Richmond Bureau RICHMOND — When Gov. Charles S. Robb made his annual speech to the General Assembly last week, he said “education remains my highest priority." But you wouldn’t know it this week from listening to lobbying groups for local governments and teachers. They don’t think there is enough money for education — particularly for teachers’ salaries — in Gov. Robb’s proposed 1984-86 budget, and this week they let him feel their wrath. Gov. Robb’s budget would bring $700,000 in new money to Fauquier County, $1.3 million more to Loudoun, an additional $20,000 to Rappahannock, $4.5 extra to Fairfax and about $300,000 in additional state aid for Clarke County in the first "yekr of the two-year budget, according to the State Department of Educaton. Further increases would also come in the second year. The onslaught began Monday, during a public hearing before the House Appropriations and Senate Finance committees, and continued Tuesday during a press conference at the Virginia Municipal League offices here. At the press conference, the VML and the Virginia Association of Counties — two lobbying groups for local governments — joined forces with the Virginia Education Association and the Virginia School Boards Associaton. They said the governor’s proposed budget fails to live up to the state’s commitment to fund education. “We are saying (that) because the state has mandated this they have an obligation to fund their fair share of it,” said Lawrence Davies, mayor of Fredericksburg and first vice president, of the VML. The governor’s budget, according to VML figures, would pay for only 85.4 per cent of the actual cost estimated by the State Department of Education. Local governments are forced to pay the difference, said VaCO President Harry G. King. He said that unless the state increases funding, “the only resource that (local governments) have at the present time is to pass the burden on to the property owner.” “We feel that is unfair,” he said. All but the school boards group endorsed a one-percent increase in the state sales tax to raise what VML estimates would be about $260 million in new money for education. Mr. Davies said that although “no tax is enthusiastically received by the electorate,” a sales tax ini- crease would be the most1 .’.“palatable.” But as Mr. Davies himself acknowledged, the proposal does not appear palatable at this point to the majority of the General Assembly or to the governor. “I think that there is limited support on the Hill at this time,” he said. Three legislators haVe submitted bills to raise the sales tax. There are also proposals floating around the Capitol to implement a state lottery, with some of the proceeds going to education. But a lottery bill died last year in the House of Delegates, and the governor said last week he is opposed to a lottery. He also refused to support either a tax increase or a bond issue. The governor’s proposed $15.7 billion budget, which is under review by the legislature, calls for 10 percent salary increases for teachers in 1984-85 and 1985-86. His proposal sets aside $3.2 billion for education over the next two fiscal years — a 20-percent increase in overall funding from the 1982-84 budget, according to the House Appropriatons Committee staff. Basic aid to localities — the major source of state revenue — would increase from $1,464 per pupil this year to $1,605 next year and $1,753 in the second year of the biennium. But in spite of the new funds, the VEA and other groups said the state only provides aid based on a total of 54 instructional personnel per 1,000 students. The average local school system has 64 per 1,000, and is in effect paying the full cost of 10 workers per 1,000 students, the VML says. The VEA, a lobbying group for teachers, told the appropriatons and finance committees Monday that the governor’s proposals “do not make sufficient progress in closing the gap” in state funding. :The, VEA, also decried what, it called the “limited progress” made in raising teachers’ salaries. Localities are forced to use state money for things other than salaries, the VEA said, because the state doesn’t pay enough. VEA called for language in the budget that would require local governments to set aside the 10 percent Gov. Robb has proposed for teachers’ salaries. The language in the budget says local governments “shall endeavor” to do that. VEA says such language has not forced local governments to use the money for teachers’ pay. Almost 80 percent of localities in the state failed to raise pay by the 9.7 percent Gov. Robb proposed for the current year, VEA said. The group estimates the average teacher’s salary will be $19,745 this year — a 6.5 percent raise over 1982-83. According to VEA President Brenda Cloyd, “The state blames the local school divisions and the the local school divisions blame the state, but in both instances it is teachers’ salaries that suffer."

Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc. Member. Audit Bureau of Circulation S Thursday, January 19,1984 Costly Delay At budget time last year - six months before they would have to answer to the voters in a general election - the Rappahannock supervisors whittled away at funding requests that, if approved as submitted, would have meant a tax rate of 58 cents per $100 of assessed value for 1983-84, an 81 percent increase over the 1982-83 rate. They cut away $233,000, $116,830 coming from proposed school expenditures. Included in that figure was $21,000, that was to be used to begin the long delayed building program at Rappahannock County High School. Under consideration in the capital out lay project are construction of a pre-engineered metal gymnasium, renovation of the old gym into classrooms and remodeling of existing space to provide for an expanded cafeteria, library, storage and bathrooms. The $21,000 in the proposed budget would have carried the project to the stage of generating specifications for bids from contractors. In addition, it would have enabled the School Board to apply for low interest literary loan funds to finance the building program. Repeatedly last year, superintendent Robert Estabrook warned the School Board that the interest rate on literary loans wouldn’t stay at three percent forever. Certainly, that piece of news played a part in the board’s decision to ask the supervisors for an appropriation to begin the capital outlay project. $ v Estabrook repeated the same warning to the supervisors. Still, they elected to cut $21,000 for architectural studies, leaving just $2,000 to cover more detailed estimates than Estabrook’s ballpark figure of $500,000 to $750,000 for the building project’s cost. In trying to keep the 1983-84 levy to what they considered acceptable to the taxpayers, the supervisors ended up throwing the baby out with the bath water. The $21,000 for architectural studies that would have enabled the School Board to apply for a three percent literary loan equals one cent on this year’s tax rate. If the building project goes forward as anticipated, the “savings” will wind up costing local taxpayers that one cent 10, 20, even 30 times over. The State Board of Education, at its December 1983 meeting, approved a change to its bylaws and regulations regarding administration of the literary fund. Beginning July 1, 1984 interest rates will be based on a locality’s ability to pay as determined by the composit index used for distribution of state basic aid. Rappahannock, considered by the state to be one of the Virginia localities most able to pay for education with local funds, will be charged five percent interest on a literary loan. The year’s delay in starting and those two percentage points - assuming the building program proceeds - will cost many times over the $21,000 included in last year’s school request for capital outlay. If $500,000, the lower figure cited by Estabrook for the construction project, holds, the two percentage points difference in interest rates will amount to an added cost of $2,500 in the first quarter of the first year’s amortization alone. For the first year, the extra expense will total $10,000 - more if Estabrook’s $750,000 estimate is closer to the mark. Since 1976 when space needs at the high school were firpt officially recognized by a joint School .Board / Board of Supervisors committee, inflation of construction costs has upped the price by 10 percent a year. Add the increase that the difference in interest rates will bring and the cost of delaying the critical high school building program amounts to almost as much as construction itself would have cost eight years ago. It’s past time for the School Board AND the Board of Supervisors to stand strongly behind an expansion at the high school before the costs, both in dollars and cents and in reduced effectiveness of educational programs, mount even higher. General Assembly Report By DELEGATE RAYMOND R. “ANDY” GITEST The first week of the session has concluded. The main items of interest were the governor's "State of the Commonwealth” address, his budget briefing and the actual introduction of the executive budget. For the next biennium, General Fund revenues are projected to total $3,647,500,000 in the first year and $3,993,100,000 in the second year - increases of 8.3% and 9.5% over the respective previous years. Over 80% of tax revenues will be derived from: income tax (£3.0%), sales and use tax (24.3%), and the corporate income tax (6.6%). These taxes are extremely sensitive to the fluctuations in the national economy. As the national economy continues to expand, the revenues generated by these taxes will increase. Prediction: no new taxes this year and no general obligation bond issue. The governor has tallpn this approach and I believe that the majority of those elected to the Legislature feel the same way. However, one or more senators and one or more delegates will introduce new sales tax bills. These should be defeated. There might well be proposals for a revenue bond issue where the fees charged the users of the facilities are used to pay off the bonds. I reserve judgment on this until f seethe projects proposed. Included in the govdhpor’s budget are proposed •alary increases for primary aarf secondary school teach* - ers and a like increase for college teachers. We must find a way to insure that these raises are shared equally across the Commonwealth so that all get the advertised benefit and some localities are not left “holding the bag” with no funds in it. The Chesapeake Bay clean-up will receive $6 millionif that item survives. We must be sure of the cooperation of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware if this much needed clean-up effort is to succeed. Part of the governor’s projected revenue comes from a further delay of the federally permitted accelerated depreciation rules. This proposed delay will cost Virginia industries over $168 million dollars for the biennium. To offset this, his excellency proposes to re duce the capital tax from 30 cents/$100 to 5 cents/$100 and to amend the Constitution to wipe out this tax. I believe that as industry tries to modernize and become more efficient, they must have the benefits of the accelerated depreciation rules. In 1982, the benefits were first delayed with the started goal of being allowed to come into effect in and after 1984. We should keep to that schedule. During the session, my legislative office at 27 S. Royal Avenue, Front Royal 22630, will remain open Monday-Friday, 9-4.

I greatly hope to see , them continued in the new year, even though the 150th . year celebration will be over. Certainly an area so rich in history and tradition could furnish material for many years to come. My maternal ancestors were from Rappahannock since way before it became Rappahannock! (Gaunt, Bolen, Mills, Johnson, Holmes, Kines and associated families.) I have visited your area at least once a year for the past five years since becoming interested in geneology. You have the No One Has Time To the editor: After reading the article “Under Protest, Latham Accepts Chairmanship,” January 12, 1984, I wondered why anyone who is now a supervisor ever ran for the job. They certainly had the time to attend forums, advertised, be interviewed and visit supporters prior to elections but now, no one has the time to be chairman. Is there one leader Kreyling Thanked To the editor: In December, at a Rappahannock Players meeting in Stuart Eiland’s house, an unanimous vote instructed me to write to the News an expression of the Players’ deep gratitude to Peter Kreyling for his enormous gift of time and talent to the maturing of the Gay Street Theatre. Others have given heroicly too, and will be remembered thankfully anon, but the name that now leads the long list is Peter’s and it should be allowed to stand out. Many thanks from all of us, Peter.

I recently acquired the enclosed photo and wondered if you could possibly use it in your “Out of the Attic” feature? The photo is of the former Bolen homestead which was located in the area behind Old Hollow in what is now Shenandoah Park. The elderly gentleman in the center is my second great-grandfather, ’ John Henry Bolen. Some of my relatives have tentatively identified the others in the photo (see this issue’s “Out of the Attic”) and we date it at around 1900. I would, however, invite any of your readers who could positively identify the people or have any memories of the Bolen family or of the other families I mentioned to contact me. Thank you so much for your consideration and all the enjoyment I have obtained from reading the Rappahannock News. KATHY SHANNON 234 Upson Downs Road Newark, Ohio 43055 amongst them?

From Both Barrels——The State Of The Commonwealth By GEORGE BOWLES The state of the Commonwealth, if I read Gov. Charles Robb’s speech to the General Assembly correctly, could best be described as conservatively audacious. Or perhaps audaciously conservative. In his message to the lawmakers on their opening night last week, the governor, in measured tones, spelled out his goals for the 1984 legislative session and the fiscal years ahead. With his term half completed, his mid-term address to the lawmakers is generally regarded as the most important he—or any Other governor makes. This is so for a number of reasons. For the first time, the governor is in control of his own budget. During the preceding two years he has been working with the spending blueprint developed by his predecessor and presented to the legislature a few days before the predecessor’s term expired. Robb will bequeath a similar budget to his successor for the 1986-88 biennium. But for the 1984-86 spending period, the budget will be entirely Robb’s own. (He presented the fiill spending program to the legislature the day after his speech.) Beyond the budget, the third year of a governor's term is the time when the plans developed during his first two years in office must begin to bear fruit. How well they succeed—and their soundness—determines the nature of the imprint left by any governor on the history of the Common wealth. Robb is clearly aware of this historical perspective. The speech was a month in the writing by the governor ami his staff. It went through a dozen drafts, and on the afternoon it was delivered it was still being fine-tuned. The end product was a tightly drawn document which in effect, gave the Assembly members, if not their marching orders, at least a map by which the governor hopes they will find their way to the enactment of his legislative goals. The speech was delivered in a lowkey style. It was presented as a blueprint, not as an oration. Nor did the speech itself contain any new and startling initiatives. It mainly dealt with the governor’s choices among options and initiatives which have been under public discussion for many months. In the past Robb has been accused of waffling on controversial issues. In this address, however, the governor spoke out crisply and forthrightly on a host of questions, a further evidence of the importance he attached to his message. Observers around the Capitol noted that he had taken a similar approach at another critical point in his career. That was when, at the outset of his campaign for governor, he stunned his Republican opponent, Marshall Coleman, with a litany of firm positions on issues. It was a startling turn-around from his campaign pronouncements up to that time. It worked in 1981 with the Virginia electorate. Robb obviously hopes it will be equally successful in 1984 with the legislature. The governor came out strongly against a tax increase unless a worsening of the general economy makes one necessary. He gave a qualified green light to the coal slurry pipeline, but urged another year of study before authorizing uranium mining in the state. He will not press for legislation raising the drinking age of beer to 21, but favors a toughening of laws on drunk driving for all ages. He wants a 20 percent pay hike for teachers and college faculty members over the next two years. He favors limiting utility rate increase requests to one per year, requiring businesses to pay for their health inspections, and a deferral of the business depreciation allowance. He does, however, favor exempting the inventories of manufacturers from taxation. He wants to allocate a half million dollars for the improvement of mine safety. Beyond this, the governor opposes a state lottery, the sale of wine in ABC stores, and the holding of meetings by public bodies over the telephone. Without doubt one of the most portentious items on Robb’s agenda is his commitment, as he put it, to making Virginia a “world class” center for atomic research. This would be achieved through the construction of the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator at Newport News and the Center for Innovative Technology in Fairfax County. ‘These two projects,” said Robb, “will link our universities, our industry and our laboratories in a consortium of scientific progress as bold and promising as any ever undertaken in Virginia.” Thus, while the speech may have contained little that was new, the governor addressed an entirely new set of economic, political and technological realities, and did so in a manner which was, at once, restrained and progressive; conservative and audacious. There was one other thing which was unique about the governor’s speech. It was the first time in recent memory - if ever - that a governor of Virginia has addressed the General Assembly and not once mentioned a need to get tough on criminals, impose longer prison sentences, or build more jails. The governor’s boosters believe, with some justifications, that this touch might have symbolized a shift from the rhetorical to the real in gubernatorial planning as Robb moves into the final years of his administration. County, Town Get ABC Profits Rappahannock County and the town of Washington will benefit from profits generated by the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control for the first quarter (July through September) of the 1983-84 fiscal year. Statewide, 16,003,779 will be distributed to counties, cities and towns. That figure represents two-thirds of the Department’s profits for the period after statutory adjustments and a one-third distribution to the state’s general fund. Profits come largely from the sale of distilled spirits, cordials and wine at state operated ABC stores. Currently, ABC profits are distributed on a per capita basis at the rate of 93.5 cents. Under this apportionment. the county will receive $5,471 and the town $231. The county will also get $822 as its per capita share of $722,050 generated in the first quarter from the sale of wine. Under the liter tax, 22 percent of the total collected from the sale of wine is earmarked for distribution to counties and cities while 66 percent goes to the state’s general fund. The rest is retained by the ABC Department as operating revenue.

These Lady Panthers hit fake spikes and dinks, move from 4-2 to 5-1 to 6-2 offenses (the numbers distinguish between setters and spikers). “And there’s a whole other system of strategies for defense,” noted coach Brand. “They have to switch from offense to defense every time the ball crosses the net.” “This isn’t phys ed volleyball like you played in high school PE classes. This is power volleyball,” she explained. “It’s a strong, fast game. It takes less than one second for the ball to hit the net and drop to the floor. Bullet serves by women playing power volleyball have been clocked at over 100 miles per hour. I can go on and on about the sport,” Brand added with a grin. “I can talk volleyball for three days running!” It’s a new interest to Brand and a new sport at RCHS. Last year, high school secretary Candy Coombs organized the first intramural volleyball program for girls. Brand was busy coaching the varsity cheerleaders but volunteered to be team leader if the intramural competition advanced to the varsity sport ranks next season. It did and she did. “All my experience came from helping a group of people from the community. They wanted to use the gym to practice and they needed a teacher to supervise. They taught me all my skills, the rules of the game, everything I know. I played with them — but not in league competition!" she said. Practice began in NoSchedules Revised Snow and ice storms that have hit Rappahannock in the last two weeks have forced cancellation of sporting events and left basketball schedules in a bigger mess than the county’s roads. See next week’s Rappahannock News for a new listing of eighth grade, junior varsity and varsity basketball games. vember, “spastic, sporadic practice. “Four teams have to share the gym during the winter season,” Sally said, explaining the adjectives. “We’ve had to divide time with eighth grade, junior varsity and varsity basketball. We practice from 3:30 to 5:30 or 5:30 to 7:30 or 7:30 to 9:30 - that is, unless it’s a day with a home basketball game. Then we go down to the elementary school where we don’t even have a regulation court or net.” But despite this handicap, the girls have improved dramatically, according to those who know the level of play in the intramural program and who’ve also seen the new varsity team practice. “We’ve got only six girls back from last year’s intramurals. The rest have learned all that they know since November,” Brand said. The Team Sport Last year, the girls worked on individual skills. "This year, they had to learn how to cooperate as a team,” the coach explained. “Volleyball is so much different than basketball or any other team sport. In basketball, you can build the rest of the team around one or two really strong players. You can have a good ball handler who brings the ball down the court every time and a big man that you look to for scores and rebounds. In volleyball, all six of your players have to do everything well and you’ve got to have all your players working together - no stars - to get the ball over in three hits and place it where your opponents can’t return it.” According to the coach, what the first year Lady Panthers of the volleyball court have right now are girls who are strong in serying, girls who are strong in setting and girls who are strong in passing. “We’ve only got a few players who are strong in all three categories but the rest will develop with experience, I think.” Another weak point -lack of height - won’t come with time. Brand will have to compensate for that missing factor with aggressiveness: girls who play like they’re 5’11" even if they’re only 5'5”. Determined To Improve “They’re real cooperative,” the coach said, praising her squad of 14 novices in the varsity volleyball ranks. “They work hard. They’ll go on and on forever. They really want to improve. If they didn’t have that, I could talk myself blue in the face and we’d never get anywhere,” Brand said. Rappahannock News Photo/D. Hutchinson WORKING ON THE DOUBLE BLOCK Dawn Watson and (behind her), Teresa Eppard punch the ball back over the head of Kathy Huett, one of the RCHS teachers who have been assisting coach Sally Brand with volleyball practices. Some of her strongest players, Karen Jordan, Connie Compton and Annie Tupper, are veterans of girls basketball who have transferred their leaping ability and the habit of watching the ball from that court to the volleyball court. Donna Williams and Sharon McCutchen have also developed complete game skills quickly, the coach said. Wendy “Bean” Stringfellow, another basketball veteran, could turn into the team’s top player. Brand reported. “But she’s had a pulled muscle since basketball season and she’s not operating at full capacity.” “Newcomers Debbie Pullen and Julie Burke are terrific on a good day. They’re so determined, they work so hard. They even apologize to me when they feel like they’ve had a bad practice!” Coach Brand is also looking to Nicole Frye, “a natural athlete,” and Teresa Eppart, a ninth grader “who’s going to be a really strong player,” for dramatic improvement as they gain experience. Deidre Coombs and Kim Way land, both graduates of the intramural program, add consistency to the squad. INTRODUCING THE DIESEL LAWNMOWER. Kubota introduces a whole new way to cut the grass. It’s the first diesel lawn and garden tractor in the country. Kubota’s new G-Scries lawn and garden tractors come with water cooled 2or 3-cylinder diesel engines. They’re built to outlast ordinary gas mowers by several seasons. And built to be economical to run and maintain. There are four new G-Scries models, from 10 to 14 horses. They all have live front PTO shaft drive to the mower. And you can choose a hydrostatic transmission. The new Kubota G-Serics tractors are now available in limited quantities. So don’t let the grass grow under your feet. See them soon. PKUBOTR' Nothing like it on earth? ftt. M Itertfc ml Cwl0*»w • MS-MJO coach Brand said. Senior Dawn Watson “keeps the girls communicating with each other. That’s so important in volleyball and she never lets them forget it!" From transfer student Wendy Clark, the tallest girl on the team, coach Brand gets strong blocking that she expects to get even stronger as Wendy becomes more aggressive. The roster numbers 14 but Brand has a couple of extras in her two scorekeepers, Dana Cloud and Kristi Pendleton, who practice daily with the squad. “They’ve been junior assistant coaches for me,” she noted. Support From A Host Brand kept returning again and again to the help she’s received with volleyball this year. She was insistent on thanking each and every one publicly. canay coombs initiated a keen interest in girls power volleyball through our intramural program last year. Her successful fund raising provided us with most of our equipment, too. “Randolph Clater, from Sperryville’s Corner Store, has extended his support of RCHS athletics to volleyball by donating two new leather balls. Bob Haase is a real volleyball enthusiast who has spent many hours sharing his expertise with us. He has refereed our scrimmages, helped us perfect our skills and expanded our understanding of team work. We’re so grateful for his unyielding patience,” Brand said. And the list goes on: Scott Currie, the RCHS building trades instructor, who built a referee stand for the team over the Christmas holidays; former RCHS teacher Valerie Gehringer, now volleyball coach at James ** yoUeyi W°Hday »’<5i9?a*y rS^ker**0* lhut*day February00"^ toonday y ^bL M<Z,S(iay Strentsville Tuesday §eotSS£^Cao» cffissfcl &s??on 2s%sav?Jx ^5JrS,c* £m£Lr3*0'u*o , Sy***n0irg9l^P ^'S \e^ Bo/I. nj?*; 34.05 5*rP&F<££- I* . firS-*8^ a I !"**£?• -* >SbS*^£iS*n ^ua^^leS.Zgl; 1 ing is Wbtoent reconwCfors Call ft;,, , 80 went '® your I?;.®8 , soH^'lonlng n^, j^ubS.JJP*** 5Y** jSssl 790j«!fand—Cm„ ' Wood High School, who kept Brand posted on current rule interpretations and taught her new drills for the team to practice; Brand’s father, Bill Loomis, “who always had confidence in me and encouraged me to accept coaching as a unique challenge.” She also thanked RCHS principal Bob Chappell and superintendent Robert Estabrook, who successfully promoted the girls volleyball program to the School Board, and athletic director John Toth, who was “seemingly reluctant about us in the beginning but has now acknowledged our determination and hard work with his respect and cooperation. He could be one of our strongest supporters,” the coach said. Finally, Brand expressed appreciation to the RCHS teachers who gave her team competition in their scrimmages, and the players, scorekeepers, manager, linesmen and their parents “who have all given 100 percent to volleyball with their endless support, cooperation and patience.” With all that help, how can it go wrong? Brand makes no predictions for the coming season, pointing to her team’s lack of experience. “There are a lot of things we don’t know how well we’ll react to until we’re in a game,” she noted. “There’s only one other new team in the Bull Run District and that’s Clarke. The rest — Brentsville, George Mason, Strasburg and Stonewall — have established programs. “I’m not aiming for any particular mark in our first season,” coach Brand said. “I’ll be satisfied if my girls learn to play power volleyball as a team.” SALLY BRAND calls the shots for the RCHS girls’ volleyball team.

Like to freeze the black-eyed peas that haven’t even been born yet. But that doesn’t mean all activity has stopped until spring. There’s life in those hills. For instance Monday night we learned: Carroll and Sadie Fox went to Chantilly Saturday to eat with Mrs. Audry Evans. Gene Fisher’s sister Jinna Perkins and her family came from Harpers Ferry Sunday afternoon to visit. (Also an injured 45 pound buzzard who sat on the gate post all day acting like Poe’s raven — at least until one of the yellow cats from up the hill tried to stalk him and the bird dive-bombed the kitty. Gene says the game warden told him to just leave them all alone; they could fend for themselves.) His brother-inlaw Steve, niece Jennifer and nephew Danny were also there. Mary and Brian Tauss are expecting her mother, Virginia Bertram, and her aunt, Barbara Stillman from Philadelphia, to visit this weekend. Mary says she’s especially looking forward to seeing her aunt. Mrs. Stillman hasn’t been to Castleton for a couple of years. Mrs. Fridenstine says Neil and his family are coming down this weekend to watch The Game. Milton Switzer says Eleanor is doing pretty well after her recent heart attack. Ruth went back to New York Thursday. The pastor also says he has a big program planned for Sunday evening at Hope Hill. A missionary family from Fairfax Baptist Temple will tell about their work in the Philippines. It’s Gifts Judged Members of the Rappahannock County Garden Club all brought gifts to the group’s December luncheon meeting at the Culpeper Country Club. Before the presents were distributed to seniors at the Senior Citizen Nutrition Site, gift wrappings were judged on the basis of originality and beauty. First prize was won by Wanda Waddell, second by Christina Johnston and third by Florence Nordone. Marian White gave a report on the club’s greens workshop. Money raised for this project goes to pay for two Rappahannock students to attend summer nature camp. Hostesses for the December meeting were Lydagene Muth, Frances Lyne and Cathryn Kneupfer. A The Goettes Family. They’ll show slides and describe their experiences starting at 7 p.m. Of course there was a fairly universal birthday celebration Monday for Robert Edward Lee. Even the schools were closed (although it hadn’t been planned that way) and so the younger ones at the Schoppets’ took advantage of their unexpected freedom by going for a sleigh ride. It only seemed like a sleigh ride when the Donalds drove to Richmond Friday to see the eye doctor. Doris says they “slid all the way there and back." But come Monday, they were out again — gone shopping at Fair Oaks Mall. And none of the weather seems to be bothering the foxes or raccoons any, so who cares?

Feasts For Feathered Friends Cracked corn and crunchy peanut butter might make tasty tidbits— not just for young school children but also for wild birds. The National Wildlife Federation has compiled a few recipes including such ingredients for those who would like to make their yard into a winter resort for the winged ones: Wild Seed Wonder Put wild bird seed mix in tube feeders or in bird feeders made from milk cartons. Hang them up. Titmice, jays, cardinals, purple finches, grackles, and house sparrows gobble up this treat. Setting the table to accommodate a bird’s normal feeding position is also important, wildlife officials Corn Meal Delight Mix four parts com meal with one part peanut butter. Smear the mixture on pinecones and hang. Or smear it on the bark of a tree. Chickadees, juncos, brown creepers, woodpeckers, and nuthatches all go for this delightful dish. Suet Surprise Mix one part suet with two parts peanut butter. Put the mixture in the plastic mesh bags that onions and oranges come in. Hang. Nuthatches, chickadees, or woodpeckers will land on the bag. say. The American goldfinch likes an elevated feeder. The evening grosbeek prefers to dine from a platform. A booklet called “Wild Bird Feeding Preferences” is available for $1 a copy from the National Wildlife Federation, 1412 16th St., NW, Washington, D.C. 20036. Address orders to Department 157. The eightpage publication rates 16 varieties of seeds according to preference by 13 common birds. For example, the cardinal likes sunflower seeds above all else while the blue jay prefers peanuts. Bird watchers may control their winter population by selectively feeding. Remember family or friends with Special Occasion, Get Well or Memorial cards.

Rappahannock Journal •Farm •Business •Garden •Rural Life Cooking Up Something Special For General Lee By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock New* Staff Writer It started out innocently enough. This misplaced Yankee wanted to know the appropriate way to celebrate Jackson/Lee Day. Perhaps there was a special recipe one used on this holiday such as the green cream cheese concoctions with which I used to nauseate my playmates on Saint Patrick’s Day? A fancy dessert like cherry pie on Washington’s birthday? “Great idea!” said the editor. “Why don’t you do some Civil War recipes?” But wait! As I recall Southern Civil War cuisine based on having seen both “Gone With The Wind” and “Voices of Rappahannock,” there weren’t many ingredients to work with. The Yankees were killing the cattle and stealing the corn meal. Perhaps the column should offer 27 ways to prepare chicory? (For those who don't remember, chicory is a weed they used to brew in place of coffee during the blockade. They still put it in the cafe au lait in New Orleans.) People were poor. Like Scarlett in the garden asserting, “I’ll never be hungry again!” Here’s one period recipe that survived the War and moved to Michigan during the depression: Eggless-Milkleu Butterless Cake Boil together the following ingredients for 3 minutes: 1 cup coffee 1 cup brown sugar 1 cup raisins 1 cup nuts Va cup fat Vi teaspoon nutmeg 1 teaspoon cinnamon Vi teaspoon cloves Cool and add: 2 cups sifted flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda Vi teaspoon salt Bake in a greased loaf pan at 325-350 degrees for about an hour or until a toothpick comes out clean. Combread Here in the hills of Rappahannock, folks survived on wild turkeys, apples and corn — distilled for sipping or ground at one of the many local mills for baking. Nobody heard much about biscuits except the big cathead ones made from lard that were yellow from too much soda and were served slathered with apple butter. Mostly it was corn bread every day. Everybody has a favorite combread recipe. Here’s mine: Sift together: 1 cup com meal 1 cup flour V* cup brown sugar Vt teaspoon salt 4 teaspoons baking powder Add one egg, a cup of milk and V* cup shortening. Mix until just smooth — don’t overbeat. Bake in a greased 8” square pan at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Yankees had the idea that hot bread wrtth melted butter was unhealthy. Anyone around here knows that’s silly. Hot combread dripping with fat is so good it will make a whole meal. Sweet Potato Pie The more wealthy family might celebrate Jackson/Lee Day with sweet potato pie with bourbon. It’s baked in a 9” crust at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Here’s how you fix the filling: Drain and mash two cans of yams. Mix in: Vz cup refined sugar '/z cup brown sugar 'A teaspoon ginger */z teaspoon allspice V* teaspoon cloves V* teaspoon nutmeg 3 beaten eggs 1 cup cream 2 jiggers of bourbon 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Chill before serving. Whipped cream or ice cream is nice on the top. Happy birthday, General Lee. Frozen Fruit & Vegetable CASE LOT SALE »r4 k».

Purchases during the past year ranged from a high of 19,775 acres in Loudoun County to a low of 3.84 in Washington County. Almost half of the land owned by foreign investors was located in Loudoun, Pittsylvania, Patrick, Albemarle and Culpeper Counties, five of Virginia’s 63 counties and cities.

Rappahannock County School News Local Stations Give School Closing News As far as kids and school closings go, no news is bad news. According to superintendent Robert Estabrook, if listeners tuning into local radio stations hear no announcements on school closings in Rappahannock, it means that classes will be held. Stations should begin broadcasting announcements between 6:30 and 7 a.m. if classes are cancelled due to bad weather. “We have to make a decision by 6 a.m. in order to notify the bus drivers in time," said Kstabrook. "Then it takes us about lo minutes to contact all the radio stations." Consideration on whether to cancel school actually begins around 5 a.m., Kstabrook said. A decision is reached jointly by the superintendent. assistant su WFTR Front Royal WCVA Culpeper WRAA Luray WWWK Warrenton WKCW Warrenton WFLS Fredericksburg WSVA Harnsonburg WVPT Harrisonburg WHSV Harrisonburg W1NC Winchester WRVA Richmond WJMA Orange WLSA Louisa HUNT COUNTRY HOME HEALTH 1066 Hastings Lane arrenton.

It's Community College Week Rappahannock supervisors have joined with other local governments in endorsing January 22-28 as Virginia Community College Week. The week is intended to focus on services provided by the state’s 23 community colleges to their students and the communities they serve. Lord Fairfax information officials say 419,913 people were served by Virginia community colleges during 1983, 17,000 more than the year before. Combined full and part-, time enrollment in the state’s community colleges as of fall term, 1983, was 112,336. Attendance at community colleges is encouraged as a cost cutter. Lord Fairfax spokesmen say the average cost for a full time student at a community college is $600 per year while tuition at the state’s four year colleges ranges from $1,100-$1,500. Room and board are additional at the university, but with convenient locations for commuters, most community college students may live at home and eliminate additional expenses. Virginia’s community colleges offer a combined total of 220 programs in which a student may receive either an Associate in Applied Science degree, an Associate in Arts and Science degree, a certificate or a diploma. The colleges offer additional lesser known services to the general public. Locally Lord Fairfax has continuing career studies, for example, in response to short-term adult educational needs. Program options ranging from advanced photography to winery management offer a “minicurriculum” in a variety of job skills, consumer education, sports and hobbies. Extended learning at Lord Fairfax helps\ students earn college credit outside the traditional classroom. The Learning Resources Center is open to the public without charge 68 hours a week. The library collection includes more than 30,000 books and subscriptions to some 300 magazines and newspapers. Audio-visual services offers a large variety of equipment including television cameras and recorders. The operation gives faculty support for producing their own teaching materials. The Learning Lab, open to students and the public, has facilities for self-instruction in a wide variety of subjects. Here students may view filmstrips, slides, films and television tapes from the library’s collection. The lab also offers a tutorial referral service. Also within the local commuting distance, Germanna Community College offers a wide variety of prac tical courses ranging from accounting to welding. Classes are available each term at several off-campus locations, including Culpeper High School. Germanna officials say Virginia Community College Week is a good time to start taking advantage of benefits offered by area schools. For more information about Germanna course offerings, people may write the student services office, Star Route Box 57, Locust Grove, 22508. Lord Fairfex catalogues and other information are available from the Office of Admissions and Records, Box 47, Middletown, 22645. Extension News By FLORENCE A.
