Flw67S-S349 A Look At The Best George Mason Schools “Truly Exemplary” Says President By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer (Editor’s note: In the second of our two-part series, “A Look At The Best," the Rappahannock News examines the educational program at George Mason High School in Falls Church, one of RCHS’s opponents in the Bull Run athletic district.) Aside from some posters advertising a "totally, totally awesome bakesale” and a “computer compatibility” dating service, this corridor could be a set for “Happy Days.” The early ’50s architecture is offset with a copious supply of trash bins; today is locker clean-out time. The cast of characters seems familiar, too. The teachers have i a fresh, cheerleaders’ qoach appearance; they wear pullover sweaters and' suede shoes and look healthy and happy. The kids are unusual in that smiles and laughter bubble from each and every one of them. “Want some food?” offers a small boy with a big grin. “I made-it in home ec class!” He drifts down the hall with hiSi aluminum foil STANDING PROUD AND TALL in the heart of Falls Church, George Mason School flaunts its unfurled flag of excellence in education. filled with some unidentifiable chocolately substance. What is it about this small school of 600 students located seven miles from D.C. that has made it the sudden object of national attention? A reporter from USA Today is expected during 6th hour. A television crew from Channel seven is filming a documentary on the 8th grade computer lab class. A reporter from the Washington Post is planning a piece for the “Virginia Weekly” section and a syndicate has sent a two part series on the school across the nation. One Of A Kind George Mason is the only combination middle school /high school in the nation selected as a model school among 144 secondary schools honored at White House ceremonies last fall following an extensive search for excellence by the “Nation at Risk” commission. The building houses grades 6-12, but the middle school and high school have their separate year books, separate school paper and clubs, separate principals. Grades 6-8 are a sort of hinterland somewhere between elementary and secondary in most schools. George Mason has its own middle school course of study. It is published in detail to show students and parents precisely what will be expected. The advanced middle school student who meets established entrance requirements may take algebra, Latin, French or Spanish for high school credit. Computer literacy is available in 7th grade. Superior readers may enroll in the Junior Great Books Program in the 7th grade and a special creative writing program in the 8th grade. Sex education and drug and alcohol education start in the 6th grade. Rappahannock News Photo/D.

Center Qualifies For Tax Credit Program The Child Care and Learning Center (Sursum Corda) won approval from the Virginia Department of Social Services to receive business contributions that will be eligible for Neighborhood Assistance tax credits. Under this program, up to a maximum of $78,750 in business contributions will be eligible for a 50 percent tax credit on Virginia income tax. Contributions may be either cash or “in kind,” with a minimum of $100 (for a $60 t^x credit) per contribution. Only contributions made in 1984 will be eligible for tax credits. “In its past fund raising efforts, the Child Care and Learning Center has been fortunate to receive contributions, grants and pledges which added to the now approved $78,750 should pro(Continued on Page 2) Roads Still Icy, Cars Still Skidding County roads were clear enough for school buses to resume their regular runs but slick spots remaining after scattered showers of snow, ice and freezing rain resulted in two single car accidents this past week. According to Trooper R.A. Baines, Frances Estelle Jenkins of Washington was driving through Flint Hill on Route 522 last Wednesday when her 1972 Ford skidded on ice, struck an embankment and overturned. She was not injured but her vehicle sustained $800 worth of damage. Theresa Frazier of Amissviile was northbound on Route 642 this Tuesday morning when her 1973 Dodge slid on a patch of ice and struck a fence, Trooper Harry Newlin reported. No charges were placed in either case. A third single car accident investigated by Trooper Baines was caused by natural forces — this time an animal rather than ice on the road.

From Tupelo to Texas and as far away as Anaheim, he says, the two have been invited to discuss sex with the nation’s educators. A basic part of the program’s success is community involvement and support. A survey of parents of 8th grade students listed sex education as one of the most important programs in the' school, according,to Thoms. Field In Seventh District Race Will Not Include Del. Guest By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Now* Staff Writer The race has just begun for the seventh district seat in the U.S. House of Representatives now held by Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson and already the .unexpected is happening. On Monday, Delegate Raymond R. “Andy* Guest, Front Royal fanner and businessman, announced that he will not be a candidate for the seat which will be vacated by Robinson’s retirement. “I must make an announcement today that I never thought I would make; namely, that I will not seek the Republican nomination for election as congressman from the seventh congressional district,” Guest said at an early morning press conference in his legislative office in Front Royal. Guest has long been considered the local Republican Party’s heir apparent for the nomination when Robinson retired. He acknowledged that he has been eyeing seat for a considerable amount of time, “six, eight years, something like that. At least thats how long there’s been speculation that it should be Kenneth’s last term,” Guest added. “This would have been the best of all years to run,” he said, citing President Ronald Reagan’s unprecedented popularity for an incumbent seeking re-election and the lack of a serious challenge to U.S. Senator John Warner, both Republicans. As to his reason for dropping from the race for the Republican nomination, Guest pointed to “responsibilities and obligations” arising from business involvement. *1 feel that because of the nature of the businesses that there would be many times when I would have to abstain from voting in Congress to avoid a potential conflict of interest. (Continued on Page 4) Potential Candidates Are Testing Political Waters Several familiar faces are congregating near the starting line but no candidate has officially entered the race for the senveth district congressional seat that will be vacated by Representative J. Kenneth Robinson’s retirement. The possibles include a former delegate in Virginia’s General Assembly, two current delegates, an aide to Robinson, lawyers in Leesburg, Culpeper and Charlottesville and Albemarle’s commonwealth’s attorney. D. French Slaughter, Culpeper attorney and 20 year veteran of the House of Delegates, announced last week that he may try for the Republican nomination. In a written statement released Wednesday, Salguther said he has “a very serious interest” in “shaping policies and decisions for a constructive change of course for American,” a change begun under President Reagan’s current administration. The 58-year-old Slaughter represented the counties ■■■ of Rappahannock, Orange, Madison and Culpeper in Virginia’s House of Delegates until his retirement in 1978. As a delegate, he was one of the major sponsors of legislation establishing the state’s community college system. A partner in the law firm of Button, Slaughter, Yeaman, Morton and Bennett, Slaughter also served as state co-chairman for Ronald Reagan’s 1980 presidential campaign.

According to former school board member and past PTA president Jessie Thackrey, a sex education committee worked hard in the early 70s to come up with a model program. The committee included a sampling of educators and parents. There was “virtually no dissension” with the final program, Thackrey says, because parents’ opinions were a serious part of the planning.

Robinson has said he will not run again when his current term expires in early 1985. EPA Grant Award May Be Just Two Weeks Away By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Kappahann<»ck News Staff Writer Rappahannock’s Water and Sewer Authority has received word from the Environmental Protection Agency on the status of the $1.5 million construction grant for Sperryville’s sewer system and the word Ugood. At Monday’s meeting, chairman Bob Dennis reported on receipt of a letter written by R. Fenton Roudabush, chief of the Virginia D. C. section of Water Management for EPA’8 Philadelphia office, to E. R., Simmons, director of the Virginia State Water Control Board’s construction grant division (which will administer Sperryville’s grant). In the letter dated January 26, Roudabush wrote: "Currently, the only hold-up on the grant application is the need for an EPA-approved User Charge System... We hope to be able to recommend the grant award as soon as this item is approved.” “We’ve already filed that material with EPA,” Dennis noted. “What this means is that they’ve just about finished going through their rigamarole and we’re going to get our grand.. .probably in two weeks.” Once the $1.5 million EPA grant is finally handed over to the Water and Sewer BZA Okays Corner Post Sign At Massie’s Corner By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock N*w» Slaff Writer In its first meeting of the new year, the Rappahannock County Board of Zoning Appeals approved a sign to advertise the Comer Post restaurant. The sign is to be located at the comer of Routes 211 and 522 near where the Lee’s Apple Orchard sign is now. That sign will come down, Flint Hill restaurant* owner Peggy Clark said, explaining that hers will be similar to the one presently hanging on the front of the Comer Post. It will be beige with brown letters, Clark said, was “going to be very pretty” and “properly designed” on wood with a post and proper set-back.

Potential Candidates Are Testing Political Waters T (Continued from Page 1 ) long be an example of distinguished statesmanship.” (Editor's note: Late Tuesday afternoon, Slaughter notified the Rappahannock News that he is now an official candidate for the Republican nomination.) Aide Actively Interested Also on the Republican side, Jim Hobgood, administrative aide to the retiring seventh district congressman, announced that he is at the “actively interested stage” regarding possible candidacy. “But I haven’t made a final decision. Without question, Andy (Del. Raymond R. Guest) was the front runner and anytime the front runner steps aside, it leaves the field wide open. Right now, I’m still in the process of contacting as many people from across the district as I can to get feedback.” Hobgood, 32, has been Robinson’s aide for nine years. He was graduated from the University of Virginia in 1973 with a bachelor’s degree and in 1975, earned a master’s degree in government and foreign affairs. Along with Barry Parkhill, he was co-captain of the 1973 Wahoos basketball team. As Robinson’s assistant, Hobgood has maintained a monthly schedule of visits to local governments and businesses in the southern section of the 7th congressional district, meeting regularly with constituents. “I’ve become acquainted not only with the district itself but with the people, their problems and concerns vis-a-vis Washington,” said Hobgood, adding that his close association with Robinson has also given him experience in the workings of the House of Representatives. “I feel that’s better preparation for the job of congressman than a position in the state legislature,” Hobgood said. Also considered a plus on the aide’s side is the experience gained by his wife, Linda, in managing Robinson’s 1982 campaign in which the incumbent coasted to an easy victory by some 30,000 votes. No Millionaire Hobgood estimated that a campaign for the seventh district seat would cost between $150,000 and $200,000 as a conservative guess. “No, I’m certainly not a millionaire,” he said, laughing in response to a question on his financial resources. “But if I didn’t think that the money could be raised, I wouldn’t be exploring the situation. Mr. Robinson never spent a dime of his own money on his political campaigns,” believing instead that a viable candidate should and could attract the necessary financial support, Hobgood said, adding that he shares the same opinion. “One of the reasons that I’m considering running— other than believing that I’m qualified—is that if we’re going to have a representative government, that government is not well served if only the wealthy can seek office,” Hobgood continued. “Once in a while, we need someone in office who knows what it means to live on a family budget, someone of modest means.” As to the role that Robinson may play in the upcoming campaign, Hobgood doubted if his boss will endorse anyone before the Republican convention. “Then I think he’ll support the candidate who emerges.” At the other end of the district, J. Paul McDonald, Clarke County resident who maintains a law practice in Leesburg, is testing reaction to his candidacy. In a letter that accompanied a questionnaire mailed earlier this month to local Republican Committee members, McDonald expressed surprise at Robinson’s decision to retire. “I thought that seat was secure for many future years as a bastion of our conservative views and way of life. . .At all costs, I want the type of leadership J. Kenneth afforded us to continue.” An unsuccessful candidate for the state Senate in 1975, McDonald noted that he knows first hand the personal expense and sacrifice involved in running for office. In his letter, he asked for advice from the Republican Commitee members from Clarke and Frederick counties and the city of Winchester, requesting that they complete an enclosed questionnaire. According to the resume included with the letter, McDonald was graduated cum laude from The American University in Washington, D.C. with a bachelor’s degree. He earned a masters degree there and a law degree from George Mason University. The 46-year-old attorney maintains a solo law practice in Leesburg. He served as vice-chairman for the Clarke County Planning Commission for five years and is a former chairman for the county’s Cancer Crusade, vice-chairman for the local Heart Fund drive and finance chairman of the Blue Ridge Boy Scouts. A fourth Republican mentioned as a possible candidate for the nomination is George Allan, Jr. of Charlottesville. Son of the former coach of the Washington Redskins, he was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in 1682 and re-elected this past year. On the Democratic side, front runners most frequently mentioned as candidates are George Gilliam and A1 Smith. A Charlottesville attorney, Gilliam ran for the congressional seat 10 years ago, giving Robinson his closest race ever in the year of the Watergate scandal. A1 Smith, the Democratic delegate from Winchester, has been one of the party’s major fund raisers for the past several years. Also reported to be considering a run for the Democratic nomination are Culpeper attorney Butch. Davies, candidate for Virginia’s House of Delegates who was narrowly defeated by George Beard in 1979, and Lindsey Dorrier, commonwealth’s attorney in Albemarle County who unsuccessfully opposed Robinson in 1982. EPA Grant Award (Continued from Page 1 ) Authority, it will clear the way for release of the state’s $500,000 block grant. Also, receipt of the EPA grant will enable the WSA to float the grant anticipation notes which will provide the necessary cash flow to pay construction bills for the sewer system, Dennis noted. At an earlier WSA meeting, financial expert James P. Jamieson, a resident of the county, explained that plan to the WSA members and gave an excellent rating to the Baltimore investment firm that had proposed to handle the grant .anticipation notes.

However, Clark argued that it would be unduly restrictive to enforce the new specifications on her before the ordinance is actually changed. She has already ordered the materials she said, and the design she has chosen could be cluttered on a smaller sign. The board for the sign was specially ordered, and is already cut and drawn. “It seems unfair to be treated by what might be in the future,” she said. She said she wanted her application judged by what’s in the ordinance now, adding that she’s willing to return in a year or two if the ordinance changes and apply for a new sign then. Since Clark will be leasing the sign site on a yearto-year basis, the board felt it would be a fair compromise to approve the permit for one year. Sperryville Sign Farm Konick reported that the other advertised case on the BZA docket had been dispensed with at the January 18 Planning Commission meeting. Martin and Cheri Woodward had applied for a special use permit to place a sign advertising Faith Mountain Herbs on a vacant lot on Main Street in Sperryville. At its November meet-. ing, the board had tabled a request from Arthur J. Smith to place a sign advertising White House Antiques on the same site. Koaioklud wked-Uw beard to review the application because the number of signs on the property totalled an aggregate of more, than 20 square feet. Konick argued that such was the intent of the authors of the present zoning ordinance. During its review, the Planning Commission agreed, but said that wasn’t the way the ordinance had been drafted. The way the ordinance is actually written, the only limit was a 20 foot height limit in RB-1 (business) district, according to the commissioners. Thus no special use permits are required for the Sperryville signs and the cases were removed from the docket. Woodward All good things don’t necessarily come to those who wait, learned Milton Woodward. His application to convert a garage into a second dwelling was refused after it had been tabled during the December meeting. The board had wanted more time to inspect the site, located in a loop in Route 640 near 729 in the Jackson District. The lot is 2.4 acres. Board member Peter Kramer argued that allowing two houses on a small lot in an agricultural district could have a negative impact on the character of the neighborhood. “The ordinance clearly doesn’t want two houses on two acres in this type of area,” Kramer said in opposition to allowing such density. In a similar case, the board had approved a “guest house”, a part time residence without any kitchen. But Woodward said he wanted to build a permanent dwelling for his son and that a guest house would not suit his needs. The site is a nonconforming lot; the ordinance allows one permanent home only. The board found unanimously that to allow the special use permit would go against the planned use and development of the area. They also found three to one (with Lee Bird in disagrement) that to permit a second dwelling would go against the predominent character of the neighborhood. Hur Jon Hur had asked for an extension on his permit to place an additional dwelling on his property off Route 641 in Flint Hill. The permit was approved last summer and will expire on June 10. Hut's request for a three year extension had been tabled at the December meeting so Hur could meet with the board and explain why he needed more time.

Fireman Of The Year By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock N*w. Staff Writer When Flint Hill firefighter Patrick Lawler started to get an unusual number of invitations to attend the annual Rappahannock Fire and Rescue Association dinner dance, he began to be suspicious — at least just a little bit. But he says he didn’t really know what was going on until Flint Hill Fire Chief Frank Huff got half way through his speech that night at the fire hall. Lawler was named outstanding firefighter and rescue squadsman of the year. He was chosen from the nominees of the half dozen different fire companies in the county by a committee composed of Douglas P. McCabe, Douglas Bywaters and Harry Tummeyer. But wife Pat says getting ’atrick there for the surprise award was a challenge. “We didn’t go iast year and had thought about going this year,” she said. She knew something was up. “They called and said, ‘Please be sure he goes this year.’ I had to drag him kicking and screaming all the way. That’s a slight exaggeration because Patrick participates in nearly all fire functions at Flint Hill, but Pay says she just went ahead and arranged for babysitter Christal Vest across the street to watch the kids and made the rest of the preparations to go to the dinner. Pat jokes that Christal is practically trained to run out to the middle of the street as soon as the tones go off. Patrick figuratively throws the kids out the window for Christal to catch as he takes off on a fire run. He goes on more than 70 percent of all Flint Hill calls. The kids are 1st grader Kelly and pre-schooler Sally who attends The Child Care and Learning Center. Kelly says she plans to join the fire company as soon as she’s 16. That’s the minimum age to join, but she already helps her dad run a booth at the carnival each year. Other activities that helped gain Patrick his award include his regular attendance at fire drills and meetings, his willingness to train other volunteers, his own continuing education at fire fighting schools and seminars through which he has reached the rank of firefighter III and his habit of constructing various time and life saving tools for the department at his own expense. Lawler says his own favorite is the “can opener” he built to rescue people trapped in crashed cars.

Kevin Miller New Senator Quiet, Low-key, Conservative By SEAN ADAMS Amndil Newapapen Richmond Bureau RICHMOND — Sen. Kevin G. Miller of Harrisonburg is about as conservative as they come in the General Assembly, so someone suggested he ought to vote for a couple of “liberal issues” to soften his image. Sen. Miller got his chance early in his first session in the Senate on a bill dealing with parking for the handicapped. But he spurned the chance by voting against it — not because he opposes ticketing people who illegally park in spaces for the handicapped, but because he doesn’t like the idea of law enforcement officers issuing tickets in private parking lots. “It’s not exactly painting myself as a liberal, is it?” he asked. Not exactly, but then everyone knows Mr. Miller, a 53year old Republican who represents the 26th Senate district, votes in the tradition of Shenandoah Valley Republicans — conservatively. Sen. Miller is the only new member of the five-member local delegation. He was elected last year to represent, the district which includes the Catlett, Morrisville and Remihgton pecincts in Fauquier County and all of Rappahannock, along with part of the Shenandoah Valley. He replaced Nathan H. Miller (no relation), who did not seek re-election. Kevin Miller is no stranger to the Assembly. He served three years, 1980-1982, in the House of Delegates. He left to run for the 6th Congressional District seat in 1982, losing in a close election — by 1.2 percent — to James J. Olin, a Democrat from Roanoke. Why did Mr. Miller, an associate professor of accounting and finance at James Madison University, want to return to the state legislature? “I enjoyed it when I was here in the House. Really, it’s a great honor to be chosen by your friends and neighbors and people in the community you’ve never heard of,” he says. And I do represent the philosophy of the district,” he says, noting he carried 60 percent of the district vote and 54 of 58 precincts in defeating Harrisonburg Democrat W.E. (Ernie) Schlabach. So far, Sen. Miller says he is pleased with the reception he has received in the Senate, a conservative and traditional club of 40 men which the Democrats, with 32 members, tightly control As part of the warm reception, he points to his committee assignments. As a freshman Republican, he received four — Local Government, Privileges and Elections, Transportation, and Rehabilitation and Social Services. Senators tell him that is rare for a freshman member, particularly for a minority party member. When he came to Richmond for this session, Mr. Miller said he decided to keep a low profile and not to introduce controversial bills. He figures he can get more done that way than by making a lot of speeches that might rile the'' Democratic leadership, which has subtle but effective ways of retaliating. “I may be guilty of going along to get along more than some people,” he says. “But when I think it’s appropriate I state my piece.” So far, he has kept quiet for the most part, and he has introduced only five bills. One is a charter bill for Bridgewater, in Rockingham County; one gives tax-exempt status to FORE Inc., a sheltered workshop in Fauquier; another exempts hemodialysis and peritoneal drugs from sales and use taxes, and a fourth makes it easier for subcontractors to put liens on time-share units. Perhaps the closest thing to a controversial bill Miller has this year deals with black bears. He says it is meant to clear up two contradictory sections of Virginia law. On one hand, you can shoot a black Robinson Seeks Senior Intern For the ninth year in a row, Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson plans to select a senior citizen from Virginia’s Seventh Congressional District to participate in the Congressional Senior Citizen Intern Program in Washington, D.C., from May 7-11. Robinson encourages district citizens over 60 who would like to compete for the position to let him know of their interest before the end of March. According to Robinson, “This program offers older people from around the country a brief, but intensive, glimpse at the workings of the federal government, with emphasis on programs of interest to the elderly. It features a va* riety of special briefings and seminars.” Participants receive a small living allowance to cover their expenses in the nation’s capital and most stay at the same downtown hotel. To be considered for selection, candidates must be a resident of the Seventh District, aged 60 or older, and in good health. Letters of application, containing a brief description of personal background and interests, should be mailed to Robinson before March 31st, do the U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, D C. 20515.

His bill would make the two sections consistent by requiring people to notify game wardens first. He says two hunting clubs in Rockingham County asked him to submit the bill, because they are worried about what they call “slob hunters.” In some cases, those people plant cornfields along Shenandoah National Park as “nothing more than bait patches so that they can shoot deer and bear that come out there,” he says. KEVIN MILLER ON SENATE FLOOR In other cases, he adds, landowners are killing bears indiscriminately. “A bear comes out and bites one ear of com off and they blast that valuable resource,” Sen. Miller says. “The bear do not do any significant damage in that area of the state,” he says, adding that “to this day not one single landowner has called me or told me that they oppose (the bill).” Mr. Miller says the bill is the “only campaign promise I’ve made in terms of legislation. ” 1 Sen. Miller’s personality is a lot like his legislative approach — quiet and low-key. His sister, Diane, and his brother Clinton, a Republican member of the House of Delegates from Woodstock, are both singers. She has been invited to sing at Gov. Charles S. Robb’s yearly party for legislators on the last Friday night of the session. Clint Miller began singing on the Jimmy Dean Show in the 1950s, and paid his way through college that way, his brother recalls. Kevin Miller doesn’t sing professionally, but he says, “I have been known to get carried away and sing at a party.” He may yet put a dent in that conservative image.

Audit Bureau of Circulation Thursday, February 2,1984 Check The Best We join Robert Eastham in urging the Rappahannock County School Board and administrators to visit two nearby schools that have been recognized as outstanding by President Reagan’s commission on educational excellence. And the trips should be scheduled before work is begun on the proposed 1984-85 school budget for Rappahannock County. There are plenty of no-cost or low-cost ideas and techniques used at Prospect Heights and George Mason that Rappahannock can borrow. But many will cost extra: computer courses, resource labs, media centers, the best in supplies, additional aides to relieve instructional staff from hall, bus and lunch duty, an International Baccualaureate program, a choice of languages, a Great Books course, a higher salary scale that will attract, keep and reward the best teachers. Rappahannock County spent $1,979 per student on education in 1982. Orange County spent $2,145, Falls Church $4,370. We’re not suggesting that our school expenditures be doubled. But we get what we pay for. Certainly, we want our county School Board members to study how to get the most out of every dollar spent for education. We also want them to see and remember what spending a few dollars more will bring to our young people. Field In Seventh District Will Not Include Guest (Continued from Page 1 ) Frequent abstentions would deny the people of the seventh district a voice on those matters of national importance and we would not want that to happen. ” On Bessemer Board In June, 1983, Guest noted, he was appointed to the board of directors for the Bessemer Group, a holding company founded by his great-grandfather which maintains broad investments, including a stock portfolio, emerging “high tech” business, real estate and oil drilling concerns and ocean cargo vessels. “Because of the wide ranging interests and nature (of the Bessemer Group’s investments), I decided I couldn’t serve both (the board of directors and a congressional office).” The 13 year veteran of Virginia’s House of Delegates said he talked with Congressman Robinson last Tuesday regarding the potential conflict presented by membership on Bessemer’s board of directors and service in Congress and his “loyalty to the commitment I've already made.” In response to questions from the press. Guest said he had consulted with “independent counsel from a national law firm” regarding that potential conflict and had learned that the law grants an exemption for a congressman to continue to participate in a family business while serving in the House of Representatives. “But I felt that the length and breadth of Bessemer’s interests presented a broader scope (for a family business) than was envisioned by the lawmakers when they wrote that legislation,” Guest explained. He added that there would be no illegality in his congressional service while sitting on Bessemer’s board. “But I don’t feel comfortable with it." Business Only Consideration Asked if other factors, such as health considerations, had influenced his decision not to seek the Republican nomination, the 43year-old farmer and businessman replied that he is in good physical condition. “There were those who thought I had galloping obesity,” he joked. “Actually I’ve lost a few pounds in the last couple of weeks.” Reading from a prepared statement, Guest said “I am confident that within the Republican Party there are more than a few (potential candidates) who have proven their electibility, whether to Boards of Supervisors, Town or City Councils, or to the House of Delegates or Senate of Virginia.” Asked if he would support anyone in particular, Guest said he would endorse the candidate whose philosophy, is in harmopy with his own and would campaign for that person if requested. Will he seek re-election to the Virginia House of Delegates next year? “Who knows? Probably,” Guest responded. Has he ruled out running for state or national office at some point in the future? “It’s too early to speculate,” he answered. Joking again, Guest said he has "really thought a lot about attorney general but they seem to want you to be a lawyer!” In a more serious vein, he said that he has been wrestling with the decision on whether to seek the Republican nomination for the seventh district congressional seat for the past month to six weeks. “I haven’t really looked beyond that.” Lobbies Support Legislators By SEAN ADAMS Amwrfgl Stw^wpin lidwwnd Hutth RICHMOND—The lobbying forces in the coal slurry pipeline battle of the 1984 General Assembly session made campaign contributions last year to six of the eight local legislators, according to campaign spending reports. The reports, filed with the State Board of Elections here, show that a railroad lobbying group, CSX Corp., which opposes the pipeline, contributed a total of $2,000 to the six lawmakers. CSX had nine lobbyists registered, as of Dec. 14, with the Secretary of the Commonwealth. On the other side of the lobbying war, three groups in favor of the pipeline —the Virginia Electric and Power Co., Tranaco Coal Co. and A.T. Massey Coal PAC — contributed a total of $1,560 to three legislators. The pipeline issue, shaping up as one of the biggest lobbying campaigns of the session, involves granting the right of eminent domain for companies that want to build slurry pipelines. Pro-pipeline groups want the legislature to grant them condemnation powen so they have the option of building a pipeline from Southwest Virginia coalfields to Hampton Roads. Railroads, which haul most of the coal in the state, are opposed, saying it would hurt their business and might have negative environmental impacts. They say they are particularly concerned about the large amounts of water that would be mixed with the coal. The slurry mixture is then pumped through a pipeline. The biggest recipient of campaign money from the pipeline lobbying groups was Sen. Kevin G. Miller (R26th). His finance report showed that he got $500 from CSX Corp. on Nov. 4, five days before the Nov. 8 election. Sen. Miller, whose district includes Rappahannock County and part of Fauquier, also got contributions from three companies that support the pipeline bill. A.T. Massey Coal-PAC contributed $200 on Oct. 12, while Vepco’s Committee for Responsible Government gave him $200 on Oct. 11. He also received $250 on Oct. 18 from Trapsco Coal Co., his report showed. Next in total contributions from pipeline forces was DeL Thomas M. Mon cure Jr. (R-53rd), who represents part of Fauquier. He got $250 from CSX on Oct. 26, $200 from A.T. Massey on Nov. 14, $350 from the Committee on Responsible Government on Oct. 17, and $150 on Oct. 28 from TVPAC in Houston, Tex. Transco Coal Co. is the Virginia affiliate of TVPAC. Three legislators — Sen. William A. Truban (R-27th), Del. Robert T. Andrews (R33rd), and Del. Kenneth R. Plum (D-36th) — received $250 contributions from CSX. Sen. Charles L. Waddell (D-33rd) received contributions from both sides — $500 from CSX on Nov. 9 and $200 from A.T. Massey on Nov. 15. Delegates Raymond R. Guest Jr. (R-31st) and Kenneth B. Rollins (R-32nd) were the only two local delegates whose disclosure forms showed no contributions from pipeline forces. State law only requires candidates to list, by name and amount, contributions of more than $100. If the lobbying forces made contributions of $100 or less, they do not have to be listed on the disclosure form. ur Rappahannock Heritage tafpahaaaodL Ncw» nmo/Muie Chit r *Sss* tK9 \e*fL tw* ouft’T \* W**v > *f> 'Sl s*0®* ^vYveVf^S^ o s\«^~ tt°' * *YveV Igcw®' 'S^ajs^fsss*' a »<•£ “SS**4 . c,V»^ — Zl&k**. wot no1 >Yvo^e yV "-VtfW »** c#9® C ets^c ^c»v *c\\ e^' ^xjsX ^c9^‘ ^'•'■^?-w'0^w'^ »r»'i^'"'‘y' ">»?•* Board Should Visit Orange To the editor. Your article last week describing the excellence of the Prospect Heights Middle School in next door Orange County was an appealing and positive story of what makes for success in public education and of what can be done to turn around a school with a bad reputation into an all-out winner. Once again, we see that the principal of the school is the indispensable key to success, as the members of the President’s Commission on Education emphasized; in this case, success equals Paul Coger. The most, refreshing aspect of the story is that it involves Orange County parents, teachers and children. These are not “aliens” or “martians”, entirely different from us. The parents are not a group of affluent, high level federal employees with PhDs; the children are pupils coming from country homes in our area in a county which also has a modest population. Principal Cogar has extended an invitation and has offered his time “to anyone who cares about educational excellence;” surely he includes members of nearby School Boards. 1 most earnestly urge the members of our School Board to accept his invitation, not for a “once-over-lightly” visit but, rather, for a thorough-going inspection to see in operation Principal Cogar’s system and methods. Mr. Cogar says the full “cook’s tour” would require five hours. I would suggest that the board set aside (by prior arrangement with Mr. Cogar) a full day for (his very important educational experience. Needless to say, the visiting group should include senior administrative officers of our school district. With budget time coming around again, it would be most helpful to get pointed from this highly successful Orange County school dollars you can afford to spend. Finally, I would suggest that the board members study your article in detail prior to visiting Orange County to list for themselves the items they want to check out and have explained. For instance, both in-school suspension (which I opposed while on the School Board) and a form of teach merit pay for greater responsibilities (which I have favored) are both in operation down there. How does Orange County make them work so well? ROBERT W. EASTHAM Flint Hill Important Detail To the editor. As one of two women firefighters (the second being Teddi Hannon of Castleton) actively involved in fighting the structural fire at the Starks' residence near Rock Mills on January 1st, I must object to your use of the term “firemen” in your article on that fire. “Firefighter” manages to describe the work involved without ignoring those of us who may not conform to the traditional image of a “fireman”. Thank you for your future attention to this small but important detail. SHERRY HAMILL Flint Hill Vol. Fire Co. Praise For Paper To the editor: We look forward to receiving the Rappahannock News every week and cannot remember when we did not subscribe to the county paper. We enjoy it very much. MRS. GLENN L. WILLIAMS Alexandria General Assembly Report By DELEGATE RAYMOND R. “ANDY” GUEST Tuesday of this week was the deadline for the introduction of bills and in spite of all words of caution, a large number of bills and resolutions has been introduced. The workload looks to be about equal to 1982*8 but the subjects are more complex and require more committee and sub-committee time. I restricted my introduction to seven bills and three joint resolutions. One of these bills covers the same subject matter as one of another member. He has allowed me to combine my bill with his. Acts such as this can cut down on the workload without hurting the end result. Hopefully, other members will look for increased efficiencies also. At the request of the Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County, I have introduced a bill to allow the Corporation Commission to consider the environmental effects of power lines as small as 100 kilovolts rather than 200 kilovolts or more as is now the case. I expect some middleground will have to be found on this matter as there is extreme opposition to the 100 kilovolt level. At the request of Clarke County, I have introduced legislation which would allow local governing bodies more flexibility in ensuring that required road improvements are made in subdevelopments. At the request of both Fauquier and Warren counties, I have introduced a bill to raise the limits on what they can pay their School Board members. Finally, in response to suggestions from many citizens across the 31st district, I have introduced legislation that would require the approval of the local governing body before either the State Health Department or the Water Control Board could issue permits for land disposal of sewage sludge. Constituents wishing to contact me on these or other subjects can call me at 804786-7395 or write to Room 720 General Assembly Building, 910 Capitol Street, Richmond, 23219. During the session, my legislative office at 27 S. Royal Avenue in Front Royal remains open during normal business hours. The phone there is 635-8822. From Both Barrels Two Terms For The Governor? By GEORGE BOWLES Virginia is one of just over a dozen states which still prohibit their governors from succeeding themselves in office. The Old Dominion’s chief executives can serve more than one term, but there must be an intervening gubernatorial term between them. Tuesday, Jan. 24, was the last day for new legislation to be introduced in the 1984 General Assembly session. One of the measures dropped in the hooper on that last day was a resolution, sponsored by Sen. Edward M. Holland (D-Arlington) which would allow Virginia’s governors to serve two consecutive terms. After that, however, they could not run for governor again. Contrary to what some might suspect, this was not a Democratic ploy to allow Gov: Chuck Robb to run for re-election. Indeed, neither Robb nor the gov emor following rum would be affected by the change. Authorizing the two terms would require an amendment to the state Constitution. In order for this to be done, an amending resolution has to be passed by two sessions of the legislature with a House of Delegates election between them. After clearing the two legislative sessions, it must then be approved by the voters in a statewide referendum in the general election following the second session. Thus the second session acting on this resolution would have to follow the next House of Delegates elections, which will not take place until 1985. Assuming it clears its first legislative hurdle and the 1986 Legislature approves it, it will be on the ballot for popular approval or rejection in November of that year. It should be noted that Robb leaves office in January 1986, and since the amendment would not apply to the governor in whose term it is enacted, the first chief executive who might take advantage of the change would be the governor who is elected in 1989 and who takes office in 1990. Thus, the first governor who might run for re-election could not do so until the campaign of 1993, almost a full decade hence. As a matter of historical interest, only two governors have served more than one term since the state began choosing its chief executives by popular vote. This was an innovation incorporated in the historic Constitution of 1851, which also set the term at four years. Earlier constitutions required that the governor be elected by the General Assembly, and the Constitution of 1830 fixed his term of office at three years. The first two-term governor was William “Extra Billy” Smith, who was elected by the legislature in 1845 for a three-year-term, and again in 1863 for four years, this time by popular vote. Thus Smith guided the Old Dominion through both the Mexican War in his first term, and presided over her surrender at the end of the Civil War. He actually completed only about 15 months of his second term before the war ended. The second repeat governor, of course, was Gov. Mills E. Godwin, Jr. who served as a Democrat from 1966-70 and as a Republican from 1974-78. When the present Constitution of the state was in the process of being drafted in the late 1960s, there was considerable legislative sentiment in both Houses for the two-term provision. The more conservative view prevailed, however, and in the end the new document retained the traditional single-term restriction. Since then amendment efforts to affect the change have surfaced on several occasions, none of them successful. This time around the proposal has strong bipartisan support, especially in the Senate. However, it also has strong opposition. Senate Majority Leader Hunter Andrews of Hampton favors it. Andrews is one of the most powerful and respected members of the upper house, and he believes a single term does not give a governor sufficient time to formulate and implement his program. House Speaker A.L. Philpott of Henry takes a contrary view. He fears that two terms would allow an individual political machine to become too entrenched and difficult to dislodge. In what appeared to be a somewhat surprising reference to the old Byrd Organization, Philpott said last week, “We’ve been through that one time. We don’t want it to happen again. I’ll do everything I can to kill (the Holland resolution) in the House.” Earlier in his career, Philpott had been considered a Byrd organization stalwart. He is still a man of strong conversative conviction. Dr. Timothy Sullivan, a top Robb aide and professor at the Marshall Wythe School of Law, agrees with Andrews. “It seems to me,” he said, “that the people of the Commonwealth are the losers when they don’t even have the option, in a competitive two-party state, to continue policies which have only been barely begun by a governor. I think it’s time we should think very seriously about giving them that option.” Holland believes a governor's effectiveness is dimished by the single-term restriction. “As soon as a Virginia governor is elected under the present system,” he said, “that governor becomes a lame duck.” The Holland resolution clearly has a rocky legislative road ahead of it, but more and more states aie adopting versions of the two-term concept. Indeed, the idea may be picking up steam in Virginia. A growing number of lawmakers and political observers agree, with Andrews and Sullivan, that Holland has a point. Besides, no one can say that a 10-year lapse between the initiation of an idea and taking action on that idea isn’t the conservative approach to change. And in Virginia, that’s important. BZA (Continued from Page 2) on the new house, he told the board, because he has been commuting from D.C. to build a house for a friend in Chincoteague. Hur said he expected to finish that building by spring before starting his project in Rappahannock. Since he will be doing all his own work, he said, it will take longer for him to finish the job than it would other people. Board member Sharon Luke said she felt these conditions were unforeseen at the time Hur received his permit and that an extension should be granted. A motion from George Muth was Unanimously approved to extend the permit until June 30,1986. Election During the first meeting of the year, the Board of Zoning Appeals reelected Lee Bird as chairman and Sharon Luke as vice-chairman. David L. Konick was appointed to serve another term as secretary.

Foreign & American Lar Repairs Specializing in German & Japanese _Made Care_ Jack’s Service Center 30 Ashby Street /r Warrenton 347-3785 ^ Shenandoah National Park officials recently presented commendations to various area volunteer groups that participated in the October rescue on Old Rag Mountain. The three day mission covered a 2 Vi square mile (1,700 acres) primary search area on the mountain’s rugged north slope. Park officials say the Blue Ridge Mountain Rescue Group, the Shenandoah Mountain Rescue Group, Dogs East, the Virginia Search Dogs Association, the Madison County Rescue Squad and the U.S. Customs Service contributed more than 1,200 man hours during the 50 hour search. On October 11, park officials report, a seriously injured and semi-conscious 18-year-old hiker was located by a climbing team. The rescuers then provided emergency medical atten tion. Because of darkness, rain and rugged terrain, it took rescuers 10‘A hours to move the victim the IV2 miles to the waiting ambulance. The victim had been lost in the mountains for two days. The commendation signed by the director of the National Park Service praised the “high degree of professionalism and skill demonstrated during this difficult operation.” A new “Life Support Fund” has been established as a result of this dramatic search, according to park officials. Its proceeds will be used to provide specialized equipment for extreme conditions in the mountainous terrain. Park business manager Greta Miller says tax deductible contributions may be made to “SNHA - Life Support Fund”, Route 4, Box 292, Luray, 22835.

Mason Carbaugh, Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services, today announced that Chessie System Railroads is reducing the transportation charges on hay originating in Detroit, Erie and Monroe, Michigan, and delivered to Charlottesville, Richmond and Staunton. The reduction could bring Virginia’s drought-affected dairy and livestock farmers substantial savings on hay shipments by rail from Michigan to Virginia. While specific rates must be discussed between the carrier and individual shippers or receivers, Bill Melvin of Chessie System’s Marketing Department indicates that hay in carload quantities will move at “greatly reduced rates.” For direct coordination to arrange movement of needed hay supplies, dealers and farmers can contact Chessie System’s P. M. Garrett at 301/237-2686 or write to Garrett at Chessie System Railroads, 100 North Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21201. Commissioner Carbaugh advises farmers and dealers that 20-ton shipments in 50foot box cars should be the most economical. Although some farmers may not require a full carload, they may be able to pool their orders with other farmers or their local hay dealer. Carbuagh also noted that farmers requiring feed supplies may contact Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services for names of both in-and out-ofstate hay dealers as well as on-farm sources of supplies. This information can be obtained by calling the Bureau of Grain Marketing Services, VDACS, at 804/7863939.

Previously farm borrowers used the agency’s Farm and Home Plan to analyze their operations and plan financial strategies. “The Farm and Home Plan served the agency and its borrowers long and well,” Godsey said. “It has not changed substantially since it was developed nearly 50 years ago.” “The intricacies of mod Market Report At the Front Royal Livestock Exchange, the following prices were reported at the January 26 auction: Hogs: US 1-3 200-250 pounds, 47.50- 53; sows 1-3, 48-52; boars 30. Slaughter Cattle: Cows: “real good cow” 49.50- 50.50; HD cut & brk UT 1-3, 38-41.25; utility & comm 2-4, 32.50-37.75; canner & cutter 1-3, 28.7531.50. Bulls: 1-2, 44.25-50.50.

Good farm financial management is absolutely necessary for farmers to succeed in the 1980’s,” Godsey said, “and the CFS can provide the sophisticated analyses needed to make sound decisions.” The Coordinated Financial Statement includes: a balance sheet and statement of owner’s equity; an income statement, showing all income and expenses; a statement of change in financial position indicating new borrowings, withdrawals and debt payment of the past year, and a cash flow statement, showing cash income and outgo for the previous year and projections for the coming year. The CFS will be phased in over a four-year period, Godsey said. In 1984, each county office is scheduled to use the CFS with at least 10 borrowers. In 1985, 25 percent of the borrowers in each county office should be using the new system with the number increasing to 65 percent by 1986. During the 1987 crop year, all borrowers should be using the CFS. The local FmHA county supervisors have been trained in the use of the CFS and are now able to assist borrowers going on the new system. Small Erosion Becomes Big The more serious the erosion problem, the more difficult the solution. By the same token, lesser erosion problems generally become big problems if not properly treated, reports Lue Walters, Soil Conservation Official. Walters explained that many farmers who put off erosion control will face declining yields. Overusing and abusing soil and land are serious national problems which are causing some experts to predict serious food shortages by the end of the 1980’s. Walters pointed out that all land has some erosion. It is almost impossible to see erosion of less than 3 tons per acre per year. Most Virginia soilg rebuild at a rate of 3 to 5 tons per acre annually. Farmers who can see gutties wnd nils in their fields must realize that their solis are deteriorating. Small erosion problems can often be corrected by inexpensive conservation practices such as crop rotations, conservation tillage, cover crops, crop residue management, contour farming and/or stripcropping. More serious erosion problems may require mechanical practices such as diversions or terraces to complement and support the simpler measures. Walters stated that there are generally several ways to correct a soil erosion problem. For example, severe erosion can be reduced with diversions and grassed waterways or with tile outlet terraces, or by including legumes and grasses in the crop rotation.

Panthers Play Jekyll And Hyde As They Trounce Brentsville By jim McCullough Rappahannock New* Sport* Report** It was a “Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” performance last Friday as the Rappahannock Panthers defeated the Brentsville Tigers, 8869, in a Bull Run District basketball contest. “We played poorly the first half, letting Hyde prevail,” said coach Doyle Dawson. “But Jekyll won out in the second as we touched our potential,” he added. While the rest of the team alternated between Jekyll and Hyde, forward Clarence “Perkins” Pendleton was nothing but Jekyll. Pendleton was outstanding, scoring a season high 25 points while hitting 10 of 18 from the field and connecting on five of eight from the free throw line. “I hit my first three tries which gave me confidence in my outside shot,” said Pendleton. "That helped a lot and it also made me work for the ball.” Early in the game, the Panthers’ play was sloppy which gave Brentsville a chance to take the lead in the opening minutes. After the visitors stretched it to 514, the RCHS squad looked desperate, forcing shots with no one underneath the basket for the rebound. At the other end of the court, the Panthers did no better, trying to block shots with no one underneath for the defensive rebound. This lapse allowed the Tigers to put the ball up two and three times. Fortunately for Rappahannock, Pendleton was hot. Nine of his 25 points came in the first quarter, amounting to more than half of the Panthers’ total for that period. His teammates joined in the scoring burst towards the end of the quarter to cut the margin to 16-19. The second opened with two baskets by Pendleton to give the home team its first lead, 20-19. Then the Panthers and the Tigers clawed back and forth as the advantage went to first one side and then the other side of the score board until guard Jeff Porter picked up his third personal foul with 5:22 left in the half. The expected letdown that usually comes when a substitute goes in for a starter never materialized. Porter’s replacement, Robert Starks, matched the game’s intensity immediately, coming up with a three point play to recapture the lead. Despite a technical foul and a missed dunk by Tommy Sisk, the Panthers managed to build an eight point lead. Then Hyde showed his face again. The Tigers scratched back and even took a one point advantage, 37-38, at the half. The Panthers who took the floor when play resumed were a new team. After letting Brentsville score first with a lay-up off a pick, they exploded. According to coach Dawson, it was Rapp’s “best quarter all year.” The Panthers excelled in all phases of the game, offensively and defensively, as they tossed in 19 unanswered points to build a commanding 56-40 lead. They stretched it even farther by the end of the third period as the scoreboard flashed Rappahannock 64, Brentsville 44. The final period brought more of the same. After the r Tigers sneaked a basket, Tommy Jenkins slammed the ball home to retake the 20 point edge with his second dunk of the year, upping his personal tally to 22 for the night, his varsity career high. The Panthers then pounded extra nails into Brentsville’s coffin as they upped their margin to 26 before coach Dawson cleared the bench. The smiling coach noted that in the second half his team finally played as a whole. He compared their performance to a bicycle tire with the players as the spokes. “If one or more spokes are broken, or aren’t connected properly, the tire bounces and wobbles but when all the spokes are attached, the tire rolls smoothly, just like we rolled over the Tigers in the second half.” At A Glance J.

Deer’s Comeback Poses Questions By BOB GOOCH Democrat Special Writer The woman from Marshall was visibly upset — and for a good reason. En route to the veterinarian with one of her beloved animals. Mae Hickman had spotted what appeared to be a female deer near the road. She stopped to investigate and found a dead button buck with a piece of baler twine tied around its neck. "I have no objection to legal hunting," she said, “but our deer are being abused.” Mrs. Hickman has more than a casual interest in Vir ginia’s mushrooming whitetail deer population. Under a special permit, she takes in crippled, wounded or otherwise handicapped animals, nurses them to health and eventually returns them to the wild. Naturally, a deer left to waste disturbs her — and a lot of oth< r people also. Biologically, the loss of that button buck had little effect on Virginia’s rapidly growing whitetail deer population, but repeated countless times during the course of a long hunting season, it could. Despite the efforts of an overworked game warden force, the illegal kill of ft. Earl Yancey, C.PA Box 1U, VlcwtowH. Va.

Contrary to popular belief, the deer is not new to Virginia, though at no other time in history has the whitetail population of what is now Virginia been so high. State game managers place the statewide population at approximately 500,000 animals, and it is still growing. From this healthy herd hunters take 80,000 to 90,000 deer annually, but the non-hunting kill is probably equally as large. Thousands of deer are lost to disease, highway traffic, poachers and other causes. The complete reports on the 1983-84 hunting season were not available at press time, but during the 1982-83 season hunters took 1,628 deer in Fauquier County, 1,213 in Rappahannock, 1,496 in Loudoun, 468 in Clarke County and 56 in Fairfax. The current harvests are an indication of how rapidly the deer herds are growing in the Northern Piedmont. In 1972, for example, the hunter bag was only 566 in Fauquier County, 297 in Rappahannock, 410 in Loudoun, 87 in Clarke County and 17 in Fairfax. In most of , these counties the harvest has almost quadrupled over the past decade. “The herds are getting near the carrying capacity of the available range in some of the northern counties,” said Jack V. Gwynn, research biologist for the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries, “and we are trying to control them.” The Commission is charged with regulating hunting and managing Virginia’s wildlife resources. Anterless hunting is the usual tool for controling deer populations, but before we get into deer management let’s go back and pick up the history of the deer in Virginia. Long before 1607 the whitetail deer, Odeocoileits Virgmanus, venison was a staple in the diet of the Indians, and the early settlers soon recognized its value in their own survival. In addition to food the deer furnished buckskin for clothing and antlers for tools. Those early Americans made full use of the animal, and leaving one to waste was just as disturbing as was that button buck Mae Hickman found near Marshall early in 1984. » Pioneer Americans hunted all year, however, and they" knew no hunting lt«p(ah«inock New* Phoro/Lewrence Emerson THE WHITETAIL DEER has made a strong comeback in Virginia since pioneer days, when it was almost hunted to extinction. Here, deer graze on the Reed Thomas farm at Paris. regulations, nor did they observe management techniques so vital to the survival of the modem deer. The white man also leveled the forests for his timber and cleared the land for farming. This land-use trend continued for generations, and together with unregulated hunting it drove the animals to near extinction. Modem game management, begun in Virginia in 1916 with the formation of the Game Department, has gradually brought the deer back. Restoration of the deer herds was the prime reason for forming the Game Department, and it began its work by importing deer from Alabama, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin to supplement the meager native stock. The comeback was slow. In 1928 the statewide harvest was only 687 animals, less than half the bag of Fauquier County alone in 1982, and just a fraction of the statewide harvest of 88,641 that season. Even as late as 1947 Virginia deer hunters took only 4,020 animals, and that season no deer were killed in Fauquier, Loudoun, Rappahannock, Clarke or Fairfax counties. Frederick County did give up 93 deer that year, Page 14 and Warren 12. A decade later, however, all of the Northern Piedmont counties were producing modest harvests and they have grown steadily since. The whitetail is an amazingly adaptable deer that seems to thrive on the very heels of civilization, a trait many kinds of wildlife lack. It is an animal of the edges, the merging of the woodlands and clearings. There is an abundance of such habitat in the rich patchwork of farmlands and woodlots that blanket the Northern Piedmont. The cover today is much more suitable than were the vast forests that covered most of Virginia in 1607. That modern habitat and game management which regulates hunting have allowed the whitetail deer to thrive despite a steadily increasing human population. The healthy deer herds have brought untold hours of pleasure to Virginians, hunters and non-hunters alike—and, unfortunately, also created a few problems. Let’s look at the positive side of this wildlife picture first. It has been the hunter’s money, shelled out for licenses, fees and taxes, which financed the amazing restoration of deer in Virginia, and today it is the hunter who realizes the greatest return on the investment. The deer is currently the pumber one game animal in Virginia, hunted by more people than is any other mammal or bird. It is a superlative big game animal and a joy to hunt. No big game is more elusive or more of a challenge than a wise old buck, and a well developed set of antlers makes a handsome trophy. Having such a game ani mal almost in one’s backyard adds much to the quality of rural life in Virginia. Hunters enjoy the hunting, and family and friends eryoy the tasty venison chops, roasts and steaks. And even the most disinterested nonhunter will thrill at the sight of a big buck bounding away across the fields its white tail flagging a warning to all its kin. Youngsters who learn their hunting on whitetail deer use that experience in later life to successfully hunt big game all over the world. But there are, unfortunately, the negative aspects of the expanding deer populations. Veteran game wardens say hunting violations involving deer far exceed those for any other species of game. Most who commit them are not hunters in the true sense. Instead they are outlaws who hunt at night when the deer are extremely vulnerable. The outlaws shoot from public roads, fail to check in their kills, poach, release their hounds on private land, take deer outside of the seasons and shoot over the bag limits. Curbing such activities consumes much of the time of the warden force of the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries. Deer hunting violators also mar the image of hunting generally, and it is their activities that spawned the proliferation of no hunting signs across the landscape. All hunters suffer as a con Piedmont Game Managers Ponder Population Ideal sequence. Abundant deer populations also create highway risks. In any given year 2,000 to 3,000 deer are involved in accidents with automobiles, and even a dozen or so with trains. Some of the traffic accidents result in human iryury and substantial property damage. Deer may also wander onto airports where they are a hazard to air traffic. And then there is crop damage. When deer become a threat to crops, wardens are authorized to issue permits to reduce their numbers. Usually 500 to 1,000 deer are lost annually in this manner. Regulated hunting which permits the taking of does or anterless deer is the game management tool used to control deer populations. It is brought into play when the herds reach or exceed the carrying capacity of the range. This is now becoming a reality in some of the Northern Piedmont counties. Fauquier, Loudoun Rappahannock are* counties where the deer are considered near or above the carrying capacity of the range, and the Commission has received complaints of crop damage. Anterless deer .were legal the final 12 days of the 1983-84 season in those counties, and hunters were allowed two does in their season limit of two. Many serious hunters object to anterless hunting, but in an age when the deer no longer has natural predators to control its numbers hunting is considered the best solution. A square mile of good range will support 20 to 25 deer, and when the numbers begin to top that, all kinds of (Continued on Page 7) USED CAR SALE (Largest Selection of Quality wmmmilsed Cars In the Area!)L— 1972 Lincoln Continental Mark IV Loaded with options.

ALL CONCENTRATION as they zip down the slopes, Chris Angel and Cynthia Shaw are among the younger set of Wakefield’s future alpine champs. JV Panthers Wallop Tigers By jim McCullough Rappahannock Newt Sports Writer In a one sided home contest last Friday, Rappahannock’s Junior Varsity basketball team downed the Tigers from Brentsville, 4731. The Panthers led from the opening tip to the final buzzer, prompting • coach Greg Waters to conclude that it was the best overall performance his team has given all year. “The starters and the bench played very well all four quarters,” he noted. As he cleared his bench, Waters got scoring from 10 of his 13 players. “There’s not too much to say. Everyone performed close to their full potential and they came away with a relatively easy win,” the coach said. 'hie Panthers outscored the Tigers in all quarters but the fourth when Brentsville came out one ahead. But in that period, Rappahannock never had more than a single starter on the court at any time.

The available food supply begins to dwindle as the browsing animals strip the land of shrubs and twigs. The deer become undernourished and disease may hit, or weakened animals cannot handle the rigors of winter. The whitetail deer has made a remarkable comeback from the bleak years around the turn of the century. Modem game management has met that challenge. Now it may face an even greater one — managing a flourishing deer population in an increasingly complex environment. W akefield Kids Master Ski Skills Wakefield students nit the slopes with a vengeance this year. The school’s ski program, now in its eighth year, attracted 120 youngsters who recently participated in a season finale week or winter sports. Ski club members spent three Mondays siding and then skied three days during the first week of January when Wakefield’s student body was out of school. (Other activities were provided for those who did not participate in the ski club.) On each ski day, held at Bryce Mountain, they attended ski class for 1 Vi hours, then spent the remainder practicing and free skiing. On the final day of Winter Sports Week, races were held for all the classes, beginners through advanced. Bryce instructors set gates for beginning racers on the lower slopes, while more experienced skiers competed in a Virginia Star Giant Slalom course. After the races, Wakefield’s ski director, Mrs. Roberta Anderson, administered the Star test, which measures skill as opposed to speed, and distributed medals to those students earning qualifying points. •At the banquet following the races, trophies were awarded to the best in each ski class and the Wakefield Cup was presented to the boy and girl with the fastest race times. County Winners Students from Rappahannock who were winners in Wakefield’s Winter Sports Week were: Class 1—Chris Angell, first in speed race. S Class 2—Cynthia Shaw, ’ second in speed race. t Class 3—Sarah Walsworth, Bronze Star Test medal. Class 4—Claire Roemer and Bic Roemer, Bronze Star Test medals.

Not to be outdone by the kids, Pamela Lyn, president of the school’s Board of Trustees and a teacher at Wakefield, tries her snow legs on the slopes. I RCHS Fop (Juizzers (Continued trom rage l) — and with good reason. The Panther brain trust completely dominated from the first question to the last, winning 245 to 100. From the start, Ann Oliver was the star ball carrier for RCHS. First to the buzzer, she interrupted questions again and again, each time with the right answer: Hr Watson, the friend of Sherlock Holmes who moderated Arthur Conan Doyle’s mystery tales; Beowolf, the oldest English epic poem; the scientific definition of catalyst. Her responses gave the rest of the RCHS veterans of last year’s Pop Quiz Competition — Cheryl Atchison, Will Oliver and Jonathan Watson — a chance to take the hand-off and chalk up additional bonus points. At the end of the first half, Rappahannock’s squad held a comfortable 105 to 50 lead. In the second half, Cheryl Achison took control, grabbing the toss-ups for more drives at bonus points. She knew the world’s tallest waterfalls (Angel Falls), and the master of terror (Edgar Allen Poe). In the ensuing conferences before the bonus answers, Jonathan and Will sped through computations faster than a running back can complete a pass pattern to come up with figures on cosigns, tangents and the value of “x” and “y”. The second half ended with a bigger lead, 215 to 80, for Rappahannock. In the final “overtime” period of nothing but tossups, Jonathan hit the buzzer with a vengance, practially shouting out that Dataware was the first state to ratify the U.S. Constitution. The students from Bath County High School managed to squeeze in a few points but their drive was much too late, falling far short of the goal line. At the final gun, the Rappahannock kids held a 145 point edge. Broken Down And Gassed For a while, it looked like the Rappahannock contingent wouldn’t make it to Harrisonburg in time for the broadcast. The bus broke down on the way over, according to captain Ann Oliver. “And we were gassed! There was a leak in the gas line and the fumes filled the bus. Cheryl and I felt nauseated but we got to the television station at 7:55 so we could walk around outside and clear our heads. It added adrenal excitement!” “I smelled the fiimes but I don’t usually ride on school buses,” said team sponsor Brion Patterson. “I thought maybe they always smelled like that!” ' It wasn’t until driver Elvis Dodson commented on the odor that everybody spoke out. After a check under the hood, he found gas leaking into the carburetor. While Dodson put everything back in order, sponsors Roger Flinchum, Cindy Wayland and Patterson made arrangements for back-up transportation to Harrisonburg—just in case it was needed. “We had Jim and Julie Logan (former RCHS teachers who now live in Luray) warming up cars,” Flinchum said. But Dodson had the school bus running — if a little smelly — and the kids from Rappahannock “came in mellow” to the studio, according to Flinchum. “It’s an hour and a half drive and they spend an hour and 25 minutes working, answering our questions. Then we make them take a walk around (outside) the TV station before the show starts.” Cindy Wayland was seated next to the coach of Bath’s Pop Quiz team. “He said they hadn't practiced much. They only started three weeks ago and they’ve had no competition from the community. It’s part of their gifted and talented program in Bath County. The team members are selected on the basis of competition; it’s an activity they chose. I found all this out just before the first round started and my confidence began to soar!” According to coach Flinchum, the performances — and the personalities — of the RCHS Whiz Kids are winning them quite a following at Harrisonburg’s educational television station. “One of the judges told me she always looks forward to working our matches. They remember the kids’ names, that Ann and Will are brother and sister, that Cheryl’s an expert on art, that Jonathan’s younger than everyone else.” Of the foursome that advanced to the semi-finals of last year’s Pop Quiz competition, Flinchum noted that they’re calmer, more poised with a year’s experience behind them. He gave much of the credit for that edge to the cooperation of the Rappahannock community that has sent team after team to scrimmage against the Whiz Kids. “How can you be intimidated by an 18-year-old after you’ve faced (and beaten) a commonwealth’s attorney?” Flinchum asked, grinning. Owls Innaugurate Basketball Program In this their first official season as a scheduled basketball squad, the Wakefield Owls have gotten off to a slow but steady start. They have played four games, two each against Shenandoah Valley Academy in Luray and Randolph-Macon Academy in Front Royal. Though losing all four contests, the scores improved considerably the second time around. Team spirit is high, and dedication is beyond question—while their new gym is under construction, the Owls must practice all but one day per week OUTSIDE, either at the 4-H Ed. Center in Front Royal or the Rappahannock County Park in Washington. Athletic Director Hunt Harris feels that the team “has come a long way from the fledgling group that used to dodge the support posts for picks at the packing house in Flint Hill where we stated the program three years ago." Harris coached the team for two years before turning over the reins to first year coach Kevin Raney. The school has arranged for the team to have use of an indoor facility in Front Royal one afternoon per week. “That way they can at least see what it feels like to shoot a foul shot without the wind blowing!” said Harris. The Owls have six games remaining on their schedule, three of which take place this week. On Tuesday, the J. V. plays Woodberry Forrest; on Wednesday, both squads visit St. James near Hagerstown, Md., and on Saturday, the teams travel to Fork Union Military Academy. The leading scorers thus far are Russell and David Rowzie of Amissville and Joh Piper of Hume. Piper, David Fawcett of Warrenton and Paul Lockman of Middleburg lead in the rebound category, and Fawcett takes the honors on assists.

(■' The Rappahannock Players’ spring production is the creation of Pali Delevitt Allan and her husband, Freeman Allan, who will be both writers and directors. They have been meeting regularly with local kids in “rap sessions” to gather material for the play. The idea for “Where I’m Cornin’ From” grew out of the musical, “The Me Nobody Knows,” a Broadway hit based on the writings of young people from New York’s inner city. Numbers from that play will be incorporated into the Rappahannock production, according to Pali Allan. Auditions for Wakefield students will be held at Wakefield School during eighth period on February 6, land 8. Auditions for students from the county’s .elementary school arid high school are set for those same three days from 4:30 to 6:30 at the Gay Street Theater in Washington. (The try-outs will be rescheduled if bad weather forces cancellation of school on any of those days.) Allan is looking for performers in sixth through 12th grade who can sing as well as act. Each auditioner is asked to bring a song (and sheet music, if possible) to perform at the tryouts. For further information, contact Pali Allan at 6362818. 4-H Club , News By FLORENCE VICKERS Action - being a part of a group, doing things together, working, playing, traveling, camping, and working toward goals.

SATA “Cinch” At Wakefield The big day finally arrived at Wakefield last Saturday when a group of the school’s 7th graders sat down to take the SAT tests. They had been preparing for the national aptitude test for more than a month in a special Saturday class taught by headmaster William Lynn. There, they heard a description of the test and worked sample problems. More recently, they’ve been doing daily as signments in a page-a-day book designed to prepare pupils for the 2Vz hour examination. Last Friday, Wakefield students appeared ready and raring to go. Twelveyear-old Tobias Dengel of Front Royal told school officials, “I’m ready! Especially for the math. It should be a cinch.” The Wakefield students were among 80,000 7th and 8th graders participating in the nationwide talent search sponsored by John Hopkins University. The SAT is the nation’s largest college entrance exam, given primarily to high school juniors and seniors. Administering the test to younger children is intended to locate exceptional students and help propel them. Some move through school quickly and take advanced courses; others skip grades and enter college early. summit Society Suggested KappanannocK mgn School principal Bob Chappell has announced a new club to honor students who excel in extracurricular activities such as the drama club or Pop Quiz team, photography, band and all the other existing clubs. The new group will be named by its sponsor and charter members, but Chappell said it could be something along the lines of Merit Club or Summit Club. Its members will receive an identifying patch to wear on an approved sweater or blazer. The activities of the club will be decided later, Chappell said, but they may include dinner meetings at area restaurants. The idea for a recognition club came from 1982-83 student council president Ginger Eidson, Chappell said. He said that plans had been developed by student council officers and high school department heads un der the leadership of Don Bomberger. To join a student must be a junior or senior, have at least a “C” average, maintain at least a 95 percent attendance record, maintain an exemplary conduct record and have a written recommendation from the sponsor of the organization in which the student has earned the most points. Each student should have a minimum of 60 points earned in at least two of the above. 4-H CLUBS 4-H CLUBS NEED VOLUNTEERS T* tuck taaricaV ywrth akMt AmHci tfeat yn car* BE A 4*N VOLUNTEER Ball Yaar Caaaty Extaaslaa Off lea...

4Truly Exemplary99 Says President—And Students Agree (Continued from Page 1) Falls Church originally seceded from Fairfax County with the avowed purpose of starting their own school. The Thackreys remember participating in the petition drive ui the late ’40s to establish the city of Falls Church. At the board of supervisors meetings the people were met with the standard answer that everybody wants better education, but no one wants to pay for it, Franklin Thackrey recalls. Yet the citizens' group distinguished itself as a rar- | ity. They specified that they wanted to pay more taxes for better schools. There grew up the two square mile area around George Mason Jr./Sr. High School which is the city of Falls Church Says Mrs. Thackrey, “It sort of becomes like one of your own children. We feel we have achieved many of the things we wanted in the ’50s.” Delighted—Not Surprised Mrs. Thackrey says she was “delighted but not surprised” that, George Mason was chosen as a model school by the president’s commission. “We’re so proud of so many things,” she said, when asked to name the school’s most outstanding assets. But if pressed, she had to name the quality of the faculty at the “most spectacular middle school” and the arrangement between the high school and Arlington Career Center for vocational education. Grades 7-8 are usually the “step children” of a school system’s curriculum planning, says Mrs. Thackrey but not at George Mason Middle School. Furthermore, the 6th grade teaching team recently won the Washington Post’s faculty of the year award. The community continues to support excellence through taxes, volunteer help and by backing up the staff and its programs. Citizens continue to serve effectively oq a wide variety of advisory; committees which study wftrs to do even better in th< i areas of gifted and talented special ed, day care, vocational education, reading ihd even getting education! j enabling legis- lation t rough the General Asseml y. Thackrey added that thq Booster Club is also a group of “extremely cooperative parents.” Dr. Thoms says that the record j of community involvement places an extra burden bn the school staff to be theit best. “We like innovating, doing things different, being special. And we have U be or we might as well b< part of the rest of them.”' If the city citizens hadn’t thought they could be better, they could have remained with the county schools or even bought educatiomj'services, he said. Hoife-School Contact In iioat things the school does, community family is considered. Every home gets it least four calls a year, Thoms says, mostly to say their kid is doing well. “Most [kids are ok,” he says. Rappahannock News PhoftVM. May LOCKER CLEANING CONFAB at George Mason—Principal George Thoms says changing philosophies in education dictate whether it is wonderful to have a hall full of students or whether they should be kept locked in rooms. “They make a few mistakes, but parents HMlBUMt Ifclf' kids are o.k." The community takes part in school activities as well. The Falls Church theater group uses the school’s professional quality auditorium. The city computer terminals are hooked up to the high school’s IBM system 34 mainframe. Thoms says the parking lots are full most nights due to the number of participants in the school’s active community education program. Credits are offered through the colleges in Northern Virginia, the University of Virginia and also George Mason’s community center courses. Truly Talented Teachers Both principals at George Mason have doctorate level degrees and the teachers also have education and experience beyond the average at other area schools. Thoms points to teacher Bill Robertson as an example, a physics and chemistry teacher with a PhD from the University of Virginia who previously taught at the Air Force Academy. “A guy with those credentials,” Thoms asks, “Is he gonna end up in Rappahannock or Falls ChurcW” Is it a matter of money? It does make a difference, Thoms says. The Falls Church teacher salary scale runs $14,000-332,600. Many teachers are at the top - they have at least 30 hours of graduate credits above a master’s degree and 14 years experience. But even more important than cash rewards is the relationship between the teachers and the commu I Southern States 1/ lamlnglon Farmar’a Co-op ftomlngtoo 430-3254 ir Farmar'a Co-op Rappahannock Farmer's Co-op 8parryvlllo 987-8555 Marshall Farmar's Co-op Marshall 364-1533 warrtmon rirmtf • uo-op juty, says Nancy Sprague, IHMtiH! school principal. There is a pleasant atmosphere at George Mason because there is almost no vandalism, very few dropouts, no violence and a sense of family, according to Sprague. The school has the second lowest drop-out rate in the state and one of the lowest student/teach ratios—ten students for every one instructor. The small classes allow the teachers to get to know the children in their classes. Special Advisor System A special teacher advisor system allows each staff member to take special care of a dozen, who meet for about ten minutes every' morning of theiir, school career at George Mason during what would be normally called home room. The small group becomes close friends, almost family, during their time together with each group, “thinking they’re the best,” Dr. Thoms points out. The teacher/advisor gives each kid a “kick in the pants” or consolation as the case may need, he says. The teacher/advisor also keeps in close contact with the parents of his charges. Now Thoms was collecting responses from his kids who wanted to take part in the computer dating service. At 50c a shot and with the capability of even finding a date for “Olga the almighty weight-lifter,” it wasn’t a bad bargain. Besides, it was important to analyze the reasons why a person would rather date a gorilla than a bear. Thoms’ remarks were typical of the good humor evident everywhere in the school. The actual questionnaire for the dating service includes 33 serious and thought-provoking questions. Would you rather have money, fame, health or happiness? If you have a problem with your parents, would you discuss it with your girl/boy-friend, keep it to yourself or talk to a counselor? How do you feel about pre-marital sex? Religion? World issues? Cheating on an exam? These are -all typical of topics that teens at George Mason feel comfortable discussing with their teachers. ISnall Classes Make It Easier It’s easier to talk in smaller classes. An English as a second language class contained just six foreign bom students in « tiding lab with two instructors. Each child was receiving individualized attention. A music class was being held with one singer and a teacher/pianist. Falls Church Education Association president Steve Klass speaks of the sense of community available in a small city as his main reason for staying. Klass came to Falls Church for his first teaching assignment out of college and stayed for 12 jjears. But he says small teacher/pupil ratio isn’t always a good sign. It alwayd denotes the declining enrollment which threatens his job. The Falls Church tax base is made up of a disproportionate number of senior citizens, Klass explains. The children of those parents who were so active during the ’50s have grown up and moved away because the city can’t grow to offer housing for a new generation. Since everyone likes to stay, Klass is still the junior member of the English department and could face a “RIF” if enrollment falls further. Yet he likes his rapport with the community. “Over a long time you form a sense of community not available in a (larger) city,” he says. Five of the seven school board members had children in his classes at one time or another, a fact which makes it easier for him to deal with them as the teachers’ chief bargaining agent. “But like all teachers, we’re still fighting for money,” he says. Klass says he makes about $30,000 per year, but works a 60-75 hour week to do it. He coaches the wrestling team and is advisor for the school newspaper. As an English teacher in a school where writing skills are stressed, he assigns two papers a week for each of the 22-23 students in each class, which gives him a “high paper load” of homework to correct. Klass adds that “housing is incredibly expensive” in the Falls Church area, nearly impossible to find within the city limits. So the apparently high salary doesn’t go far, Klass says. He and his wife and three children live in a small house with a wood stove. “Actual expenses are high and taxes We a killer in the county,” he says, summing up the universal plight of teachers. Creativity Encouraged Klass isn’t a complainer, though. He likes working at George Mason because creativity is encouraged. Also teachers sit on advisory committees, write curriculums, and are a part of many decisions. In other systems such things are relegated to “specialists” he says. The administration is always looking for new ways to improve teaching, he added. They study the latest scientific literature on the George Mason High School students enjoy being “exemplary.” They think their principal George Thoms is exemplary, too. One of his homeroom students drew this “exemplary likeness” psychology and physiology of learning. They look at some “radical” ideas, too. For example, he received permission to invite guest speaker Linda Hammond from the Rand Corporation to address school officials on teacher evaluation techniques, merit pay and related issues. her math classroom and Thoms stops to comment or her navy blue dress-for-success suit. She just got back from a D.A.R. luncheon. He wishes her luck at her attempts to be accepted at the naval academy. Thoms thinks how it has again become fashionable for students to take make-up tests in the halls. In the late ’60s, he remembers, it was thought wonderful to have the halls full of kids. They were learning creativity and independence; they were “doing their own thing.” Today, the way to be is locked up in rooms spending time on task, he says. Styles will probably change again. Excellence means being good enough to know you need to keep growing and changing. That’s his philosophy. His main interest these days is the “science” of learning. The next improvement in teaching techniques will be based on research into reinforcement, brain development and time on task theories. The school board responds favorably to the free exchange of ideas, he says. Being a small system is a mixed blessing when new ideas are introduced speedily into practice, says Klass. George Mason can respond quickly to major changes in curriculum because it’s a small school. Parents sitting on advisory committees can see their suggestions take fruit “with a great deal of speed,” he says, adding that “this can be positive with good things, but there’s also a rapidity of new ideas some of which eould have stood more testing.” But then, small schools can correct mistakes more quickly, too. In a small school, there’s also a more caring relationship between staff members, Klass added, of 90 possible full and part-time teachers employed by the city schools eligible for membership in the educational association, 82 actually belong. Approximately 40 of them work with him at George Mason. This small group becomes intimately aware of each other’s illnesses or family problems and pitches in with “good words or whatever.” Klass says he was especially touched when his colleagues took up a Christmas collection to help pay hospital bills when one of his children was suffering from spinal meningitis. Yet he says it’s typical of the camaraderie of a close-knit community. Truly Studious, Too Principal George Thoms frequently wanders the halls hesitating here and there to make friendly remarks to students. Student council president Denise Shuster is taking a make-up test outside What Does An Excellent School Expect? The George Mason School Community believes in striving for personal excellence. We accept the need to act in such a way as to help maintain an effective, safe, and comfortable living and working environment. As individuals, we believe in: — Respect for others’ property, person, and ideas. — A positive attitude toward learning which enables students to achieve to the extent of their ability. — Integrity and honest behavior. — Appropriate use of language in expressions, icfeas, concerns, and opinions. — Adherence to school rules and regulations. — Expression of ideas, concerns, and opinions in appropriate ways. — Appropriate and considerate behavior that reflects pride in the school. As an organisation, we believe in: — A varied instructional and activities program to meet individual needs. — A supportive community which provides ap-. propriate academic instruction and guidance and counseling. — Environment conducive to responsible behavior. — Encouragement towards personal excellence. — Ru|fs enforced fairly and consistently. — Proper orientation to all programs and activities. — Consideration of others’ ideas, opinions, and concerns. It’s part of the “high tech” section of the school’s five stage improvement program since the doctors Thoms and Sprague arrived in the early 70s. First they set about to “humanize” the curricululm—to individualize a course of study to suit each child’s needs. Then came concentration on discipline, academic standards and graduation requirements. Finally the high tech stage has been accompanied by introduction of the computer in a variety of courses. George Mason has an average per pupil cost of $5,500 per year, Thoms says. Special^Reading Program He thinks the reading program is one of the most special aspects of George Mason’s curriculum. Beginning in 6th grade, students are grouped according to reading level. Those who are reading below grade level work in the reading lab to develop individual skill areas. Those above grade level participate in the Junior Great Books program. Every child is again tested at the beginning of every school year and works to develop from that level. Every child spends six weeks in the reading lab and six weeks writing. Starting in the 6th grade English class, students keep journals and perform frequent writing assignments including news articles, stories, poetry, book reports and essays. English classes of approximately 20 students each are customarily divided in half—with ten in the reading lab while the other ten study writing. A student may never fail an English class and graduate. Proud Of IB Thoms is also proud of the school’s membership in the International Baccalaureate program. The I.B. started in 1958 in Geneva, Switzerland, after an international group of educators decided to create a universally recognized program of study for high school students that would take account of various college entrance requirements in different countries. George Mason joined the I.B. program in 1981 and Thoms says school officials are “committed to it,” especially as a way to motivate gifted students. The I.B. stressed language and math and is especially designed for students during their last two years of high school. Courses are grouped in six subject areas with a specific syllabus and examination for each: math, social studies, experimental science, foreign language, English and an elective such as computer science, music, art, a classical language or a. second foreign language. Special syllabuses are available in drama, environmental studies, marine science, political theory, peace studies, nutritional science, natural science and computer programming. Students who want to receive an I.B. diploma must take all six basic courses and pass the exams. In addition they must write an essay, complete a “Theory of Knowledge” course and perform community service work. A student unwilling or unable to fulfill the requirements of the diploma can receive a certificate for each I.B. course and examination taken. These may be used at selected universities for individual course credit or advanced placement. In Virginia I.B. is recognized at Averett College, Hollins College, Lynchburg College, Mary Washington, Old Dominion, University of Richmond, Virginia Intermont College, Virginia Military Institute and William... and Mary. Fairfax High School and George Mason are the only high schools in the state offering I.B. classes. Thoms says approximately 60 students are signed up for I.B. It takes about 10 teachers to administer it. But I.B. isn’t cheap, he says. Examinations cost $125-300 per subject and each enrolling school must pay an annual fee to belong to the I.B. program. This ranges from $3,000-$10,000. “But if you’re serious about raising the standards of excellence in your schools, this program seems worth the price,” wrote Thoms in a magazine article on the subject. Proper Equipment Excellence means providing the right equipment, too. John Ballou teaches 78th grade communications in a classroom provided with videotaping and sound mixing equipment that would make most professional broadcasters look like leprechauns, they’d be so green with jealousy. There’s a kiln for pottery in the art room. There’s a climate controlled darkroom with three enlargers for the newspaper ami photography classes. The school boasts a library with 22,000 books, a building with about a dozen computers. And computer labs are not just a current vogue at George Mason; they’ve been teaching computer programming for the past ten years, Thoms says. The school district spent nearly $3 million about four years ago on the latest building project. That was to install a sound-proof air conditioning system, better lighting, electrical and plumbing systems and to refigure spatial needs. A new track for the athletic department about five years ago cost approximately $80,000. Still, Thoms says officials at George Mason have their “wish list” like administrators anywhere else—their own pool instead of teaching swimming at the YMCA, and two gyms instead of one. Sports are an example of one of Thoms’ favorite things about a small school. The smaller the number of students, the greater the probability of leadership for each, he points out. “Nobody is ever cut from the baseball team,” he says, “In fact, we yank them out of the hall and say, 'We need you!’ ” Truly Fair Rules Student rules, rights and responsibilities are clearly set forth in the high school student handbook. Punishment for each infringement is also clearly explained and enforced. If students are 16 or older, they may smoke if they have a permit from the administrator and have submitted ah application signed by their parents. Then they must limit their use of tobacco to the student court, on the school side of the service road, behind the gym and cafeteria or in the alcove by the drafting room.. But Thoms says only about' 20 students smoke. It simply ^^ fashionable these days. 4 . He describes another se-J * rious rule facetiously: "Thou; shalt not kiss, fondle, touch or play with snow.” That commandment easily does away with ice fights, snowballs and all sorts of slushy problems. The thing that strikes the visitor about George Mu. son is the way everyone smiles, the friendly atmosphere like a little neighborhood. “It smelled so good,” Thoms says, strolling into the home ec room just as though it were a favorite cousin’s kitchen. “We were walking down the hall and we smelled it.” About ten students grin at him over spaghetti dinners. They obviously like him. “Don’t tell me this is a mid-afternoon snack,” he begs. “Tell me you guys didn’t have lunch!” But no, they ate in the cafeteria just two hours ago. They’re growing teens. They feel about food the way the staff and administrators at George Mason feel about education: “Too much of a good thing is terrific.” 1984 MAZDA PICKUP SALE !••• ALUMINUM CAMPER TUP Godfrey Mazda 3031 Valley Ave. Hwil 703*607*7111 Winchester, Vs.

We Want To Announce YOUR Wedding An announcement of a wedding is the kind of good news we like to publish on the social pages of the Rappahannock News. But we have a few rules that we ask the bride and groom to follow in submitting their announcements. All wedding stories must be typed. They should include the marriage date and should be received by the Rappahannock News no later than two months after the wedding. Black and white photographs are preferred. We suggest that the bride advise her photographer of this. We can print a picture from a color shot but it usually becomes too dark. We want your wedding picture to reproduce as clearly as possible; we’re sure you do, too. Forms for your announcement are available at the Rappahannock News office. If you have any questions, please contact Barbara Burke at the Rappahannock News, P.0. Box 59, Washington, Va. 22747, telephone (703) 675-3349. Remember, there is no charge for this service.

She’s Kathy Karroll, a high school senior from Colesville, Maryland — picked from a field of more than 200 to appear, Doris says proudly, adding that Kathy is pretty, talented and delightful company, as well as an excellent singer, dancer and acress. We suggested that Doris might be the slightest bit prejudiced. “Don’t you think I’m entitled to be?” she quickly queried. Anyway, Frank and Doris will be in D.C. at the NBC Building when “Teen Exchange" rolls over Channel 4. Tune in then and see their granddaughter. Ruby Cannon says her granddaughter Bethany and grandson David are spending a week in Castleton while their parents, Peter and Ann Powell of Lancaster, New Hampshire are in D.C. on business. Granddaughters Karen and Kim Colvin from Rapidan and Shannon Tharpe from Culpeper spent Saturday night with Waverly and Lillian Frazier. On Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Mark Tharpe and Tonya and Ellen Wharton from Culpeper also came to Castleton and all of the granddaughters went to church with Lillian and Waverly. By the way, a special thanks to Charles and Judy Pullen and all their passengers for pushing Aunt Michele out of a ditch and changing her flat tire and getting her to that same church last week. They’re among the best examples of good neighbors in these parts. Of course since then, Aunt Michele went to B&B and bought some snow tires. That’s why the weather got so warm so fast. It was a simple solution to the world’s problems. There was still snow enough in “Dr. Zhivago” — last week’s RAAC film. The Fridenstines enjoyed it again and enjoy the continuing blessings of belonging to RAAC. If you haven’t joined, it’s a good time to think about the money you could save on movie tickets alone. And there’s more greats coming up. It’s a good time to think about ordering a year’s supply of Girl Scout cookies, too. You only have about two weeks left to arrange for delivery of your sweet snacks. Call up Kim or Debbie Helmer quick. Hurry! Do it today! It’s your last chance for the commemorative cookie created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Girl Scout cookie sales. Alan Knighting says the family celebrated sister Debbie’s birthday yesterday. Castleton column fan Morie McMahon was bom on Groundhog Day (today). Although he reads the Rappahannock News, we don’t hear a lot from him since he moved to Houston. He’s running a big YMCA out there. You all remember him from when he was director of the Piedmont Family Y and taught the little Castleton kids how to swim and play soccer. You know how Aunt Michele can always tell whether folks are from the city? They wash their cars in the winter and cut the grass out from under the bushes in the summer. They just do the silliest things!
