Although flood waters may never creep up the hillside where the little white frame church is located, the county’s zoning map desig nates the area as flood plain. Under Rappahannock’s current zoning ordinances, all building in a flood plain is prohibited. At Monday’s meeting of the Board of Supervisors, Konick explained that John Burke, pastor of the church, has applied for a permit for a modular building on a permanent foundation to be used for Sunday school classes. However, the lot on Route 622 is designated as flood plain. “It’s so steep, it couldn’t possibly be,” responded Supervisor Charles “Pete” Estes. Soils are the determinate in Rappahannock County for flood plain —not 60 or 100 year flood marks as in some jurisdictions — and the soils on the Gid Brown Bible Church’s lot are flood plain type, according to Konick. He noted that Rev. Burke’s request would have been covered by an ordinance change he proposed last year, a change rejected by the county’s Planning Com mission. Konick had suggested a provision that would have "allowed the applicant for a building permit to present proof that his or her property had not flooded for a specified period, say 50 for 75 years. If such proof was forthcoming, then the applicant would have been entitled to build a structure as long as it didn’t include a septic field. The zoning administrator noted that proposed revisions to the zoning ordinance incorporate part of his suggestion by allowing “accessory buildings” with no plumbing facilities in a flood plain. However, Konick said that the definition of accessory buildings does not include an addition to a church so Burke’s request wouldn’t be allowed, even under the revised ordinance. Konick suggested that the supervisors direct the Planning Commission tc broaden the allowance ol structures without plumbing facilities to include the type of building project proposec (Continued on Page 2) Provisions For Handicapped May Be Added To Courthouse Project The judges who sit on the bench in the Rappahannock courthouse alerted the county supervisors last summer to the need for improvements in court facilities. At the same time, they emphasized that they will be satisfied with a modest project that includes installation of central air conditioning and carpeting in the upstairs courtroom, sound proofing in the jury room and rearrangement of the witness and jury boxes. However, despite the cooperation of the judges the supervisors learned on Monl day that the improvement project’s price tag may get higher, raised by inclusion of provisions for handicapped people. A letter from the accounting firm for Robinson, Farmer, Cox and Associates, the company that handles budget preparation and the annual audit for the county, notes that new requirements of federal revenue sharing regulations “place a burden on the locality to ensure that persons with handicapping conditions have full access to all services and facilities.” The letter goes on to note that the accounting firm has researched the requirements and can provide technical assistance on compliance to Rappahannock for $2,000. In addition to various “on paper” evaluation policies and procedures, that technical assistance includes, a transition plan “identifying structural changes that are needed.” Deadline for filing the plan for changes with federal authorities is October 17, 1986, according to the accounting firm. Clerk Diane Bruce suggested that handicapped ac Winchester Firm Proposes Trash disposal “is something we need to think about and think about pretty quick,” announced Chairman J.R. Latham in response to an inquiry from a company interested in handling the county’s solid waste. Rusty Stewart from BFI in Winchester informed the supervisors at Monday’s board meeting that his firm wants to (1) bid on the current contract which expires June 30, 1984 and (2) offer an alternative for disposal of Rappahannock’s trash. (At present, Community Trash Company provides, maintains and empties dumpsters in Amissville, Huntly, Chester Gap, Scrabble and Castleton at a cost to the county of $4,833 per month. Regulations govern the type of materials that may be left in the dumpsters, prohibiting dead animals and anything that can be burned, and restricting use to Rappahannock residents. The refuse is taken by Community Trash to a private landfill on Clifton Clarke’s property near Woodville. The landfill is allowed under a special use permit that expires in 1985 and access is limited to employees of Community Trash.) On Monday, Stewart told the supervisors that ms company recently reorganized Warren County’s trash disposal system, consolidating 23 dumpster sites in four regional collection points with trash compactors. The move was taken, he said, to reduce costs, improve rodent and pest control and ensure use by Warren County residents only. “When I last talked to the supervisors there, they were very, very happy with the cost (of this new system) and especially happy with the improvement in appearance of the roadsides (where dumpsters were previously (Continued on Page 3) Drug Charges Cleared By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock New. Stair Writer Robert William Haase, of Washington, was cleared of possession of marijuana charges in the August 30 state police helicopter hunt after his lawyer moved Tuesday to strike the state’s evidence. State trooper Daniel Argiro testified that police confiscated 3-4 marijuana plants from a property near Route 604 after pilot James Whitehurst spotted what appeared to be a small patch of marijuana growing near what is now Haase’s home. Argiro said two helicopters were flying over Rappahannock County at altitudes of approximately 500-800 feet as part of the Virginia Marijuana Eradication Program. A ground crew of about a dozen state ^ troopers and sheriff deputies were directed to the alleged Haase property by radio. Argiro said no one was at home, but that officers found two or three apparently well cared for cannabis plants growing approximately ten yards from the house and another plant on the other side of the house. The plants appeared to be freshly watered and were mulched with wood shavings, according to Argiro, who added there was a definite and pronounced path between the house and the cluster of plants. Argiro said he bundled the plants and took them in his car to Route 211 where the ground crew had assembled. He then separated the plant contents from the stalks and saved them to be stored in a manilla envelope in the State Police evidence locker in Culpeper. On September 21, he delivered the plant material to the Maryfield forensics lab for analysis. Argiro said the delay was because the lab will not work on green material for health reasons. Argiro served a warrant qn Haase on December 16. He described Haase as cooperative and pleasant, but reluctant to answer any questions. “A lot of people use my wood shavings,” Haase was quoted as saying regarding the mulching. Haase has a woodworking shop on his property. Argiro told Haase’s lawyer, David Konick, that the day the trooper served the warrant on Haase was the first time he had ever seen him. Konick argued that officers had presented no evidence that Haase had lived at the same location on August 30. When the plants were taken, the house was locked and no one was there. (Continued on Page 3) Local Employment Picture Improves The latest figures supplied by the Culpeper office of the Virginia Employment Commission show Rappahannock rallying from a slight blump in the unemployment rate. In December, there were 137 unemployed workers reported in Rappahannock, down from 145 the month before. The county’s unemployment rate of 5.5 percent for December was lower than the 5.7 percent reported for November, but not as low as October when V Rappahannock’s 3.5 percent was the lowest in the five county region. In December Rappahannock’s 5.5 percent unemployment rate was the same as that in Madison. Fauquier had the lowest number of people out-of-work at 3.2 percent. Culpeper’s rate was slightly better than Rappahannock at 4.6 percent. Orange had the highest unemployment in the area with a 6.3 unemployment rate. Nationally unemploy ment in December stood at eight percent. In the state it was 5.5 percent, the same as the rate for Rappahannock. VEC officials say slight declines in employment in December were due in part to seasonal cutbacks in construction, agriculture and other industries which were affected by winter weather. Last month there were 1,803 active claims in the five county area, compared with 3,562. unemployment insurance recipients in January, 1983, officials reported. cess be considered at the same time as the courthouse renovation, noting that compliance with federal regulations on access for the handicapped may be necessary to qualify for receipt of revenue sharing funds. “I think we have enough talent in this county to make this evaluation,” said Supervisor Nelson Lane, referring to the accounting firm’s offer of services for $2,000. Supervisor Charles Estes suggested that the board first secure a copy of the regulations. “We have handicapped restrooms in . the clerk’s office. That’s ii * the court house complex an< : they might satisfy the re - quirement (for all county of fices),” he said, adding thal Rappahannock, with its pop ulation of just over 6,000 may be exempt from some o: the regulations. “Step I is t< get a copy,” he maintained.

This new require (Continued on Page 2) Bill Oliver Named TaScTmbrBmtrd Bill Oliver of Woodville is the new representative from Stonewall - Hawthorne District on the county’s School Board, replacing Nelson Lane who resigned following his election to the Board of Supervisors in December. “I’ve given a lot of thought to this in the last three months,” said Lane, in announcing the nomination at Monday’s board meeting. “I’ve had many communications — both written and on the telephone — from people in my district and even a few from outside,” he said, noting that those making suggestions on the appointment included teachers and former teachers. “The vast majority of them were for two individuals. Both of them are very fine people. . . I’m making this nomination not on the weaknesses of one but on the strengths (of the other),” he said, proposing Oliver as the new School Board representative. A graduate of VPI, Oliver holds a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in animal science. He is a member of the vestry at Trinity Episcopal Church. He and his wife Lucy have two children, both students at Rappahannock County High School. Ann, a senior, is captain of the RCHS Pop Quiz Team and a semi-finalist in this year’s National Merit Scholarship competition. An honor roll student, she’s editor of the school yearbook, president of the RCHS chapter of the National Honor Society, member of the girls’ track team and president of the Varsity Club and the senior class. Will, a sophomore, is a member of the Pop Quiz squad, an honor roll student and a member of the RCHS track team. “The family abstains from watching television,” Lane told the rest of the supervisors. The Olivers’ two children are “very well read — and well disciplined,” he added. He concluded by emphasizing that Bill Oliver has “strong bipartisan support” for the post. “And that’s the most important thing.” Oliver is the manager of Eldon Farms which is owned by Lane Industries, a company founded by Nelson Lane’s father and controlled by a Chicago-based board of directors since the elder Lane’s death. The supervisor from Stonewall - Hawthorne said he had checked with several different attorneys regarding possible conflict of interest posed by Oliver’s employment and was told no conflict existed. Oliver, a native of Tidewater who has lived in Rappahannock County since 1979, said on Tuesday that his major concern as a School Board member will be “the quality of education.” Baumgardner Named Substitute Judge Former Rappahannock County Commonwealth’s Attorney Douglas K. Baumgardner has been named substitute judge and special justice for the 20th judicial district. The appointment made by Chief Judge Carleton Penn on February 6 fills the unexpired term of Peter H. Luke which ends on June 9, 1986. Baumgardner quipped that he and Luke were “swapping jobs", the vacancy was created when Luke was elected commonwealth’s attorney. President of the Rappahannock County Bar Association, Baumgardner is a graduate of the University of Virginia Law School and Virginia Military Institute. He serves as Washington town attorney and has maintained a general law practice in the area since 1976. i1 __ Rappahannock News Photo "M May ED STREAPY points out the proper way to print a third grade pupil. Al More Than 400 Pupils Fingerprinted By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock News Staff Writer “The kids are real excited. They just love it,” said Rappahannock Elementary School principal Maggie Piper. She was talking about the process retired Alexandria police officer Ed Streapy was putting primary school pupils through. Streapy, now a part-time deputy with Rappahannock’s sheriffs department spent nearly a week imple-' menting a plan adopted recently by the County School Board to allow voluntary fingerprinting of the children at the elementary school. Streapy started on February 1 and spent a day each on kindergarten and 1st grade pupils. He took longer with the younger ones, Piper explained, because he had to be “very careful” with their little hands to be sure the prints didn’t smudge and that the kids didn’t decide not to like the unusual activity. “He’s good with them,” added Piper. “He jokes with them, he has them laughing.” In a room just off the main office, Streapy had the children climb a step ladder to stand level with his work area. He rolled fresh black ink for each as he asked whether they had been watching the children ahead of them. “You know what to do?” he asked each. They did. Most children love to get dirty. And they rolled their fingers in the ink with relish as Streapy guided each finger separately and then imprinted it on a large cardboard until the record of all ten fingers was completed. After being sent to the next room to wash up, each child received his completed and dried record caird to take home to his parents. Each child needed a signed parental consent form to participate. The only copy of prints was to be kept by the parents. As Piper has explained, if a child should be reported missing, parents would have a record of the fingerprints which police could use in following the trail of a kidnapped or runaway child or in identifying a child who may be found several years later and may have changed in external appearance. Of course, fingerprints would identify a deceased child, but officers hope the local prints will never be needed for that purpose, she noted. Streapy is an area fingerprints expert. He frequently testifies in court when expert opinions are required. Since 1966, he has testified whenever a fingerprints expert was needed throughout the circuit courts of Northern Virginia. He ran the Alexandria crime lab from 1966-1980. “I really grow apples and peaches in Flint Hill and do this part time since I retired,” he kidded at the school. Piper reported that approximately 411 pupils had participated altogether. Parents who want to have their children fingerprinted but who missed last week’s program should notify their child’s teacher. According to Sheriff John Henry Woodward, a makeup day will be scheduled next Thursday. Fire And Rescue Association To Be Clearing House For Requests From Local Companies On Monday, the Rappahannock supervisors adopted a resolution recognizing the county’s Fire and Rescue Association as the official liason between local government and local emer- - gency service units. However, they emphasized that their action will not preclude individual fire or rescue companies from coming directly to the board with requests. Donald Gore, president of the Association, explained that the move was being proposed in the interests of eliminating the need for representatives from the separate companies to “bother” the board with funding requests. According to Gore, emergency service units will be directed to the Association first and then the Association will relay petitions to the Board of Supervisors. “If the Association as a whole doesn’t support their request, the company can take it directly to the Board of Supervisors and the Association won’t speak against them,” Gore added. “The Association will either speak for the request or won’t speak at all.” Gore explained that all of the county’s fire and rescue companies are members of the Association and representatives from each voted to approve the proposal. In response, the supervisors unanimously agreed to adopt the resolution recognizing the Association as the liason between the board and emergency service units, stipulating, however, that those units retain the right of appealing directly to the board. In a second request, Gore asked the board to allocate $1,117 from last year’s hike in state license fees to the Association for distribution. As of July 1, 1983, automobile tag fees were raised $1 with 25 cents of that amount to come back to localities for support of emergency services. The money can only be spent for training, equipment and supplies, Gore noted. “The ’ (Continued on Page 2) !

Accounting Improvements In a second letter to the supervisors dated November 4, the accounting firm offered recommendations on improved bookkeeping practices for both the school and library accounts.

The supervisors agreed to send copies of the recommendations to both the library and the School Board. “Very Dangerous Situation” In a letter dated January 27, zoning administrator David Konick warned of a “very dangerous situation that exists around the courthouse building and county offices whenever it snows.” He noted that sidewalks are now cleared on a volunteer basis by some of the constitutional officers and sometimes by criminal defendants sentenced to perform community service. On January 24, Konick reported, the secretary for the zoning office slipped and fell on an icy sidewalk, suffering a black eye and severe lacerations of the head that required six stitches. “As far as I know, Mrs. .Cartwright-Brown has qo 'mnition of filing silt against the county but ‘I really do feel that some effort should be made to compensate her for her medical expenses.” The main point, Konick stressed, is that the county needs to make arrangements for maintenance Fire And Rescue Association (Continued from Page 1 ) Association members feel we are probably in a better position to know the needs of emergency medical services so we’re requesting that the county turn that money over to the Association for disbursement and record WE HAVE WRITTEN A BOOK ABOUT YOU!

Ruth Blackwell had almost fallen on the slippery side• walk leading to the courthouse. Clerk Diane Bruce said that she had personally purchased chemical salt for the sidewalks on several occasions. “It worked where it got warm enough for it to work,” she said, noting that the zoning secretary had slipped on a shaded section of sidewalk between the courthouse and zoning office where the sun never hits. In the past months, precipitation has fallen as ice, not snow, Bruce pointed out. “And that’s as difficult to shovel here as it has been everywhere else in the county,” she said, adding that people have a responsibility to exercise “reasonable care” in walking on ice. Supervisors Estes and Latham agreed that the board should consider hiring someone to oversee maintenance of buildings and grounds in the courthouse complex rather than leaving it to county employees to shovel sidewalks, purchase ice melting chemicals with their own money, change light bulbs and handle minor repairs in the buildings. In addition, Supervisor Nelson Lane volunteered to supply a barrel filled with sand for emergency use in the next ice storm. Executive Session Meeting with Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, the board adjourned to a 45 minute executive session to discuss the Scrabble School property, a proposed lawsuit regarding a zoning violation in Jackson District and potential litigation against the county for failure to meet state regulations on animal shelters. According to Chairman Latham, no action was taken in the closed portion of the meeting. and snow removal. “This might happen again and we might then be dealing with a more serious injury and an .individual who is not as civic minded as Mrs. CartwrightBrown, all of which would be a lot more expensive for the county than the cost of hiring somebody to shovel the walks.” At Monday’s meeting, Konick also told the supervisors that district court clerk (Continued from Page 1 ) by the Gid Brown Church. “This is something I think is going to be a continuing problem,” he said, noting that he has received inquiries from several property owners whose land is officially designated flood plain yet hasn’t flooded in at least 50 years. Rev. John Burke told the board that the Gid Brown Church has never flooded in its 60 some years of existence. “It’s so high up on a hillside there, I don’t see how it could ever flood.” He described the structure his church seeks to erect on the site as “something like a trailer” that would be used an hour on Sunday and Wednesday “to teach the boys and girls the word of God.” Konick noted that, due to the lot’s size, a variance from the Board of Zoning Appeals to side and rear yard setback distances will be required. In addition, he said, a “perc” test and permit from the Health Department is needed before a septic system can be installed. Burke said he wanted to begin construction “as soon as the zoning board will let us do it and as soon as we find the right price on a trailer.” Konick reported that the Planning Commission will have the final draft of proposed zoning ordinance revisions at its February 15 meeting and that public hearings should be scheduled in March and April. Allowance for what Burke is seeking could be included in the new regulations just as quickly as the existing ordinance could be amended, he said. Konick and Estes, the board’s representative to the Planning Commission, agreed to bring the matter up at next week’s session. “If we’re going to continue to use soil types to designate flood plain, then we’re going to have to have some provisions for sites with flood plain soil that never really flood,” Konick concluded. Plat Vacated In other zoning-related action, the board voted unanimously to vacate a subdivision plat recorded last July, that divided a tract in keeping.” “And you will file a financial report with the treasurer stating how the money was spent?” asked Supervisor Charles “Pete” Estes. Gore agreed that the Association would do so. “It is intended to be flowthrough money,” agreed Chairman J.R. Latham. “Still, I think we have to have it in the budget and accounted for.” Representatives from all the county’s fire and rescue companies agreed to this proposal, Gore repeated. The $1,117 may be divided equally between the units, the Association president continued. “Or if company A needs something a whole lot more than the rest, maybe they’d get it. Or maybe the Association would spend the entire amount on training equipment that all the companies will use.” Gore emphasized that the decision on how to spend the money would be made by the Association with representatives from each of the fire and rescue companies having a voice. The supervisors agreed to the proposal but delayed action until Gore can provide them with a formal resolution approved by the Association.

Before these changes — which conform to zoning regulations — can be approved, the original plat must be vacated, he added. Only one of the original lots has been sold.

Drug Charges Cleared Trash Disposal (Continued from Page 1 ) No testimony connected the defendant with the plants, according to Konick. The prosecution had not proved possession, he argued. Unconstitutional Search Konick also maintained that the police were conducting an unconstitutional search by entering the premises immediately surrounding the house with out a search warrant. Nor was there any testimony to show that the defendant was aware of the presence and character of the plants or to show that he was consciously in possession of them, Konick argued. Fauquier County Commonwealth’s Attorney Charles Foley was acting as special prosecutor in the case because Haase is a client of Peter Luke’s law firm. MR.

This can include mortgage payments. If you are 50 years old and have a 30 year fixed mortgage, you may want” to rearrange it to have it paid off in 15 years instead of 30 so you will be free and clear of payments by age 65. Here’s how you can do it. First, discuss it with your loan officer so he’ll know what you plan to do. The first month you would make your regular i principal and interest ( payment, plus the priori; pal only payment for the second month. In month two, you again pay one full month of principal and interest and again add the principal payment for the next month. By making two principal payments and one interest payment per month, you cut the loan term in half.

Foley argued that police were within their rights in seizing the plants under the “plain view doctrine.” Foley asserted that the helicopters were flying lawfully under the Federal Air Commerce Act which sets navigable air space at 1,000 feet above the highest structures in congested areas and 500 elsewhere over residences and people. There are no limits over unoccupied fields, Foley said. Once the information regarding the plants’ location was relayed to the ground crew, Foley maintained officers were able to seize them under the plain view doctrine. The case was built on “obviously circumstantial evidence”, he admitted. However, he pointed out the plants were growing in a well defined patch. They were well watered and covered with wood shavings. When the warrant was served, Haase told Argiro it was his house and he had the wood working shop, Foley concluded. A “plain view” discovery must be inadvertent, Konick countered.

This case raises some serious concerns in an age when “satellites can read the New York Times from your back porch,” he said. ‘That’s what the 4th amendment (right of search and seizure regulated) is all about.” Following a five minute recess, District Court Judge John Alexander agreed that the prosecution had failed to establish that Haase had been in possession of the promises at the time of the seizure in August. However, Alexander said he would not decide the search and seizure aspect of the case. Konick and Haase left the courtroom with smiles. The case was cleared.

They’re very, very happy with the overall change.” Stewart said that BFI rents the four compactors to Warren County for $900 per month per site under a five-year contract renewable for a second five years without a rental increase. The county is also charged a fixed “per pull” fee for transporting and emptying the compactors at the county’s landfill, he said, noting that the county provides the site, equipment and equipment operator for that final disposal. In addition, a county employee visits each regional site daily to compact trash. “The supervisors in Warren County told me to go out and find the sites for the compactors. I did,” Stewart said. He negotiated with the owners for purchase or rental of the land, then turned over control of the four sites to the county along with compactors installed and ready to operate. He emphasized, however, that a contract for a trash disposal system here could be tailored to fit Rappahannock’s needs.

He reported that BFI is now negotiating with a county for use of its landfill. “It looks like they’ll accept. We’re very, very hopeful but I don’t want to say the name (of the county) right now.” He repeated that BFI is . very flexible regarding con- ' tractual arrangements on an . alternative to continuing the i present trash disposal sys- * tern. The county may lease or buy compactors and provide its own personnel to periodically compact the trash or use BFI’s people. In addition, Stewart said, he can compute the total “per pull” charges for a year based on the volume of trash now being handled. He agreed to bring more information to the board’s next session and reminded the supervisors that his company also wants the opportunity to bid on handling Rappahannock’s trash under the current setup — if continued — when Community Trash’s contract expires in June. “Then you can compare our cost with theirs.” “I think we should have two bids,” Supervisor Clarence Baldwin said. “We certainly will be able to see from that where we stand (regarding comparative charges of the two companies).” * * * A mountain and a river are good neighbors.-George Herbert Pgive her a '14K SOLID GOLD PENDANT $9.95 and up GOLDSMITH'S ' PMY EXCHANGE1«l 218 E.

FEBRUARY 9,1984 Trash Question There are signs that the Rappahannock supervisors are finally going to take steps to provide a landfill open to all county residents. We want to encourage them to stick with it, even though it may mean condemnation of suitable property, a move sure to be unpopular in a county so small that almost every decision becomes personal. At Monday’s board meeting, the supervisors heard an attractive proposal from a solid waste disposal company that promises to provide its own site for solid waste disposal. But accepting that proposal would again put Rappahannock in the same position it’s in now. Without a county landfill, the supervisors limit the number of firms that can bid on handling the county’s trash. It makes solid waste disposal a more expensive proposition here. There are dollar and cent reasons for having a landfill. According to the Comparative Report of Local Government Revenues and Expenditures for the year ended June 30, 1982, a document prepared by the state’s Auditor of Public Accounts, Rappahannock spent far more per capita than any of its neighbors for trash disposal. In Madison and Clarke counties, which are most similar to Rappahannock in population and character, citizens paid $1.55 and $1.78 per person far trash disposal hsMdivab, Both have their own the per capita cost for sanitation and waste removal was $7.40; in Fauquier, $6.26; in Orange, $6.67. All three counties have public landfills. In Rappahannock, we paid $9.53 per person that same year. And we have far too few dumpsters, limits on what we can put in those dumpsters and no place to get rid of large items that won’t fit into the green boxes. The county has a private landfill. Only employees of Community Trash, the company that holds the current contract for handling Rappahannock’s solid waste disposal, have access. That contract expires in June, 1984. According to zoning administrator David Konick, the special use permit for that provate landfill is good only until November of the following year, the same time that Health Department officials estimate capacity at the site will be reached. It may be too late this year to find and gain ownership of land for a county dump before it’s time to negotiate a new trash contract. But the supervisors’ search to find property should continue—and intensify. We suggest they offer the trash disposal contract for just one year and aim for 1985 to have a site for a county-owned sanitary landfill ready so they can solicit bids from several trash companies, not just those that have their own dumps. We can get more competitive prices that way. And watch, we’ll see little businesses spring up in the county, offering people trash pick-up service. The move should give our local economy a boost, provide citizens ...with, better optionsoft how to get rid UHraHer the per capita cost to the taxpayers for solid waste disposal. And, at the same time, we’ll be in full compliance—finally—with state law. This Was The News In Bygone Rappahannock Times... 20 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS THE COMPENSATION Board in Richmond set salaries for local county officials. The Rappahannock County treasurer would make $4,800. the commissioner of revenue $4,200, the sheriff $4,100 and the commonwealth’s attorney $4,000. The suggested salaries were sent to the Board of Supervisors for approval. The board agreed to the amounts. Mrs. Franees Foster was county chairman for the Marfch of Dimes campaign. She was helped in her appeal to “give till it, hurts” by district chairmen Mrs/Paul Miller, Mrs. A.C. Latham, Sr.. Mrs. P. Lee Thornton, Mrs. R.G. Quaintance, Jr., and Miss Nellie Johnson. Anne Cannon was named “Queen of My Heart” at the high school Valentine party. The 9th grader received a big bunch of roses and a tiara. Bradford’s of Flint Hill advertised a complete selection of Valentines priced from 15«-50«, packaged assortments of 29^-59? and Valentine boxes of candy at $1.19-$6.25. One could also take a sweetheart to see “Irma La Douce” starring Shirley MacLaine at Pitts’ Park Theater in Front Royal. 10YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS THE RAPPAHANNOCK Ski Area reported the "largest weekend in its 10-year history last week and expectations for an even bigger weekend of skiing coming up.” Ski Area manager Russ Albert said more than 1,650 skiiers were on the slopes over the weekend and that snow conditons remained excellent. Rappahannock Supervisors were upset by a report that fire roads were blocked near Mount Marshall. The road, which was said to have been built originally as a trail to haul apples down from the mountain, had been a favorite for 50 years for hikers and horseback riders in the county. The board received a resolution from the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection seeking to make “access and egress of the Shenandoah National Park through the Mount Marshall Fire Road available for the peaceful enjoyment of the scenic vistas, flora, fauna, hiking trails and riding trails which are the rightful heritage of all citizens.” Norman Grimsley of Castleton retired after serving 23 years as fire tower observer for the State Division of Forestry. While working, Mr. Grimsley walked from Hope Hill to the top of Red Oak Mountain each day to man the tower and returned home the same way in the evening. Mrs. Charles Raney in Flint Hill was in charge of the annual Heart Fund drive. Angela Dennis was named Sweetheart at the 1974 RCHS Valentine’s Day Sweetheart dance. Christine Timbers, the previous year’s queen, placed the tiara on Angela’s head. The queen received six roses and members of her court a single red carnation each. “Rung Fu” was playing at the Front Royal drive-in. Robinson Aide At Courthouse Rep. J. Kenneth Robinson’s assistant, William W. Pifer, will be at the Courthouse in Washington on Wednesday, February 15, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. He would be available to talk with constituents who have problems of a federal nature with the Social Security Administration, Department of Labor, Immigration and Naturalization Service, Internal 1 Revenue Service, Office ol Personnel Management etc., or who wish to relay their opinions on national legislative issues or discuss matters of concern. Our Rappahannock Heritage Letter To The Editor Right Place, Right Time To the editor: George Kidweil, Sr. just happened to be in the right place at the right time on December 31, 1983. He was standing at the kitchen door of the Jacobs’ home when Mrs. Jacobs, standing at the kitchen stove with a spatula in her hand turned around, gasping for breath and was blue in the face. Mr. Kid well applied CPR and Mrs. Jacobs started breathing. She was taken immediately to the doctor who verified that Mrs. Jacobs had suffered a heart attack, her heart had actually stopped beating. He credited Mr. Kidwell with saving her life. There would have been no time for the rescue squad to have been of serv ice. Mrs. Jacobs says that she owes her life to Mr. Kidwell. Mr. Kidwell belongs to the Amissville Ruritans and is a faithful worker in his community, helping anyone in need. AN ADMIRER OF MR. KIDWELL Progress By EUGENE MCCARTHY Rappahannock New* Guest Columnist When the last new Senate Office Building was being built a few years ago, economizers, led by Senator Proxmire, successfully eliminated money intended for a gymnasium. This success on the part of the senator and his cohorts made up for an earlier failure on their part some twenty years earlier, * when the iesue was money * to build a new and larger swimming pool in the gymnasium in the old Senate Qffice building, now known as the Russel Building. The argument of those bent on saving money was that the old pool was adequate. It might have been adequate for a bath but not for swimming. It was about 12 feet long and possibly 10 feet wide. I recall being in it one day, when Senator Stennis of Mississippi, always a gentleman, approached and asked whether I objected to his joining me in the pool. He said he would stand still. The proponents of the swimming pool project knew that the Proxmire watch was on. On the evening when the last appropriation of the year was under consideration, the watchers, not having found their target in earlier appropriations, moved in, believing that what they were after must be hidden in this last appropriation. The senator handling the bill spent the better part of an hour denying that there was money in the bill for the swimming pool as a series of questioners attacked him. During the whole time, Senator Chavez of New Mexico sought to interrupt but the intensity of those seeking to uncover the hidden money was so intense that he went unrecognized. When he was recognized, he said that he Poet, author, former Vxited States Senator from Minnesota and candidate for the presidency, Eugene McCarthy now lives in Hawlin Hollow, Woodville: simply wanted to tell the Senate that the money for the swimming pool had been included in an appropriation that had been passed, under the Senator’s direction and management, a week earlier. Senators anticipating a pool in which one could take say twelve strokes before having to turn about rather than the three or possibly four allowed by the old pool were delighted and awaited eagerly the construction of the new pool. Eventually it was built but for most of the senators who had been looking forward to using it, there was disappointment. According to the tradition of the Senate, the rules for the gymnasium, including the determination of the temperature of the water in the (Kjol, were set by the senior senator on the gymnasium committee. The principle of seniority was honored. Unfortunately for all but those few senators who liked the stimulation and discipline of cold water, the chairman of the gymnasium committee at the time was Senator Willis Robertson, of Virginia. He liked cold water in the range ot bb to 70 degrees r arenheit. For the duration of Robertson’s term or terms in the Senate, the pool was cold and little used, except for senators from cold water states like New Hampshire, Vermont, Washington and in a limited way from Minnesota. Willis was defeated, or retired, sometime in the sixties. The hopes of the potential swimmers rose only to be frustrated when Willis was succeeded by Senator Henry Jackson of Washington State. Henry too, conditioned by the cold waters of Puget Sound, we assumed, was also a cold water man. For nearly twenty years of the Jackson chairmanship, the waters of the pool have been kept near the Robinson standard and the users of the pool limited to a few hardy cold water lovers, while other senators swam not all or satisfied their watery needs by standing in the small warm pool or using the whirlpool bath. After long absence, I visited the Senate Gym last week. I heard splashing and laughter from the pool area — something I had not heard before. As I rounded the corner of the pool room, I saw happy senators cavorting in the large pool, some swimming vigorously. I asked the attendant what had happened. Following the death of Senator Jackson, there had been, he whispered, a revolt — the mice belling the cat or at least the tradition the purpose of the revolt, changing the temperature of the large pool. It is now at 84 degrees, the attendant told me, and the old, small pool kept at 66 for the cold water minority. A clear case of majority rule, taking over from the old rule of seniority. General Assembly Report By DEL. RAYMOND R. “ANDY” GUEST This week the public hearing of the most interest to my constituents was on House Bill No. 479 relating to a coal slurry pipeline connecting the coalfields of Southwestern Virginia to the Port of Hampton Roads. The marathon public hearing attracted approximately 500 people and lasted close to five hours. No action was taken. Instead a subcommittee was appointed to study the more than 20 proposed amendments to the bill and r make a report. On Thursday another public hearing of considerable interest was held on all drunk driving bills. This was well attended and became emotional at times. No ac tion was taken on these .bills. Next week, the General Laws Committee will hold a public hearing on House Bills 351 and 891 relating to raising the drinking age. This public hearing will be held on Monday, February 6 at 10:00 a.m. in House Room C in the General Assembly Building and will probably attract considerable interest. Also of interest is a bill that would permit accident victims to collect damages even if their negligence contributed to their injuries. The House first rejected and then revived this bill for consideration. The lottery bill was killed for this session. On Friday, February 3, 70 Warren County Junior High School students visited in Richmond, touring the Governor’s Mansion and the Capitol and seeing a little of what we do here in the legislature. It was a pleasure to arrange this trip for them. Concerned citizens wishing to contact me on these or other subjects can call me at 804-786-7395 or write me at 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 Where Are The Candidates? By GEORGE BOWLES The philosopher George Santayana once warned that “those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it.” So it seems to be with Virginia’s Democratic party. Here we are, a little more than three months before the Democrats will, presumably, nominate a candidate for the United States Senate. That candidate will be called upon to oppose Republican John Warner, a tough, popular and wellfinanced incumbent who lives in Fauquier County. But up to now the Democrats, who swept the statewide elections in 1981, gained three congressional seats in 1982, and fought the GOP to a standstill in the legislative elections of 1983, appear to be dead in the water in the Senate race of 1984. As this is written, only two potential candidates are actively considering tKe race. One is Edythe Harrison, an outspoken former delegate from Norfolk who seems to further alienate herself from the party’s leadership with her every public pronouncement. The other is Sec re- '< tary of Human Resources and former 10th District Congressman Joseph Fisher. If Fisher could be elected he would probably be the best senator the Commonwealth has sent to Washington in at least a century. But he would be going into the race with severe handicaps. Although he appears to have the energy of a man decades younger, his age (70) would be a factor. Beyond that, he has yet to put together the campaign and a fund-raising organization needed for a statewide effort. Thus the Democrats are in a position not unlike the one in which they found themselves in 1982. That was the year, you will recall, when a Senate seat was open following the retirement of Sen. Harry F. Byrd Jr. The Democrats, after an abortive effort by Gov. Chuck Robb and the party leaders to come up with a “consensus” candidate, arrived at the state convention in Roanoke badly divided. In the end, and against his better judgment, Lt. Gov. Dick Davis accpeted the nomination. He had just four months to organize his campaign. He lost by a narrow margin to 1st District Congressman Paul-Trible. The decisive difference was that Trible had been carefully building the organiza- * tional and financial foundation for his senate drive for two years. The situation was similar in the 1978 race for the seat then being vacated by retiring Sen. William L. Scott. Democrat Andrew Miller lost to Warner by fewer than 5,000 votes. Warner was only in the race for about 12 weeks before the election, following the death of Richard Obenshain, who had defeated him in the contest for the nomination at the state convention earlier that year. Warner, however, was the beneficiary of the months of thorough groundwork laid by Obenshain, and he inherited the latter’s massive and well-oiled campaign organization. Then too, the popularity of Warner’s wife, actress Elizabeth Taylor, vastly assisted his effort. Miller on the other hand, was still reeling from his upset defeat at the hands of Henry Howell in the Democratic gubernatorial primary the year before. Thus he got a late start in the senatorial race, and suffered all the political disadvantages with which late starters are plagued. And so we come to the U.S. Senate campaign of 1984. The Democrats are at a double disadvantage this year. In 1978 and 1982 the seats were open. The one at stake this time around is occupied by a generally popular and succesful incumbent. He has a campaign organization in place and reportedly already has a war chest of nearly $1 million. He will not, however, have the benefit of his marriage to Liz Taylor. The two were divorced several year ago. The pattern is the same. As in the two earlier elections, a Republican candidate (this time an incumbent) has stepped forward early, done his homework, laid the foundation for his campaign and prepared for the election which all the world knows will take place next November. All the world, that is, except the Democrats who seem to have been taken completely by surprise by the approaching event. Just why this should be true for the third Senate election in a row is something of a mystery. Surely a U.S. Senate seat is a political prize worth any party’s interest in capturing and worthy of any politician’s ambition. At least the GOP finds it so. But somehow, while crowds of Democrats of statewide stature come out the woodwork to vie energetically and early for the offices of governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general, for a decade they have taken a “too little, too late” approach to winning an office which should, at least, share top billing with the others in the party’s order of electoral priorities. However, until the Democratic party leaders and ambitious Democrats learn to value Senate victories enough to plan for them, identify and promote candidacies to achieve them, and organize the coalitions necessary to support them—months or even years in advance of elections—they will have to live with the consequences of Santayana’s warning. And they will also have to live with Republicans representing Virginia in the U.S. Senate. Candidates9 Debate The chief rivals for the Democratic nomination for President will appear together in THE IOWA DEMOCRATIC DEBATE, airing Sunday, February 12 at 12:30 p.m. on public television station WVPT. The two-and-a-half hour event will feature appearances by the top eight Democratic hopefuls: Reubin Askew, Alan Cranston, John Glenn, Gary Hart, Ernest Hollings, Jesse Jackson, George McGovern, and Walter Mondale. Sponsored by the Des Moines “Register” the debate will use a format unique in television debates—each candidate will have the opportunity to question his contender. The debate will be the last face-to-face debate among all candidates before the pivotal Iowa precinct caucuses which will be held on February 20th. WVPT broadcasts over channel 42 from Front Royal and channel 51 from Harrisonburg.

Jenkins9 Dunk Helps Lift Panthers Over Eagles By Jim McCullough Rappahannock New* Sports Writer Rappahannock’s Varsity Panthers faced Clarke County last Tuesday in their fourth straight home game and came away with their fourth straight victory but this time by a slim four point margin. The Panther machine slid into gear early, capturing a quick 10-5 lead on a bucket from Tom Sisk. But the Panthers didn’t press their advantage and instead allowed the Eagles to fight back and outscore them 10 to 2 in the rest of the quarter. The real damage didn’t come from the visitors putting the ball through the hoop; it came in the foul category. Rapp’s main offensive weapon, Clarence Pendleton, picked up his third violation, prompting coach Doyle Dawson to give the senior forward a seat on the bench until the start of the second half. Back on the court Lady Luck moved to the RCHS side early in the second quarter as Clarke’s starting point guard was pulled from the game following an in jury. “If he had played the whole game, the outcome probably would have been different,” admitted coach Dawson. As the clock moved toward the half-time buzzer, Rapp’s Tommy Jenkins cut the Eagles’ lead to two but a bucket just as time expired moved the difference to four, 29-33. When play resumed, it was the same less-thaninspiring Panthers of the first half. The Eagles pressed their advantage and built an eight point cushion, 39-47. Penetrating well and scoring, guard Jeff Porter tried to ignite the RCHS squad but the spark didn’t catch as the visitors stayed on top, 47-51, at the close of the third quarter. Then it was a new Panther team—or at least five men playing with new enthusiasm—as the fourth period began. Rapp grabbed the lead with baskets by Jenkins, Porter and Pendleton. Rattled, the Eagles committed careless mistakes and continuous fouls. In the bonus with their opponents over the five foul limits the Panthers repeatedly shot one-and-ones without ever having to set foot on Clarke’s end of the court. Rapp’s players went to the foul line 16 times in the fourth quarter, more than in the other three periods combined. Then Tommy Jenkins added a final blow with his third dunk of the season, this one over a Clarke County defender. The outcome was no longer in question. The final score, 75-71, looked closer than the contest actually was. All five RCHS starters were in double figures: Tom Sisk with 20, Jeff Porter with 16, Tommy Jenkins with 15, Clarence Pendleton with 13 and Rob Brown with 11.

Panthers Upset By Upstart Cougars The Rappahannock Panthers ended their at-home win streak Monday night as a young Manassas Park team pulled off an upset for only their third victory of the season. The Cougars start a lineup of three freshman and two sophomores, which would seem like a mismatch against the more experienced Rapp veterans. “But they wanted to win more than we did and they put out 100 percent. We didn’t,” said coach Doyle Dawson. The Panthers commited careless turnovers, allowing Manassas Park to jump to an early 2-6 lead. Then they seemed to find their game and with a bucket from Tom Sisk ended the quarter on top, 18-13. A cold snap, colder than the winter chill outside, hit RCHS in the second quarter. Clarence Pendleton, who sank two baskets, was the only Panther to hit from the held. Mike DelGrosso chipped in a free throw to bring the second quarter total to an embarassing five points. Still, the home squad led by one at the half, 23-22. Rappahannock opened the second half with a basket by Sisk but then it was all Manassas Park. The young Cougars quickly grabbed the lead, a lead they didn’t give up for the duration of the contest. Missing completely from the court was any rebounding—offensive or defensive—for the Panthers. Dawson called it “the worst defensive display of the year.” By the end of .the third period, the Cougars had stretched the margin to 10, what looked like an insurmountable advantage, judging from the home team’s performance. The Panthers’ big men, Sisk and Tommy Jenkins, continued to be caught flatfooted under the boards in the final quarter. With the absence of rebounding plus turnovers at crucial points, the Panthers weren’t able to put enough points on the board. They outscored the Cougars, 25-19, in the fourth but it wasn’t sufficient to balance the damage wrecked by Manassas Park in the third period when they doubled the home team’s output, 11-22. Rapp’s one chance to pull out the victory flopped. Sisk connected on two free throws to put the Panthers just two behind. Then Tommy Jenkins attempted an ill-advised dunk. He not only missed the basket that would have tied the score but he grabbed the rim to give the Cougars a shot at a technical foul and possession of the ball. That dunk “should never have been tried,” maintained the coach. Momentum back on their side, the Cougars cruised to a 59-63 win, easier than the four point margin indicated. Rappahannock’s brightest spots came from Ricky Shaw and Mike Atkins. Coming off the bench, they played “better than or as well as the starters,” according to Dawson. The coach wasn’t upset by the loss. “Any team can be beaten on any given night and Monday was our ‘given night’,” he said. But he was concerned over how the Panthers lost. The lack or communication and turmoil apparent on the court in Monday’s game are signs of a team tailing apart, he said, adding that he’ll test for those signs on Tuesday when his Panthers face Stonewall Jackson’s Generals, who hold first place in Bull Run and are undefeated in district competition. Last year, Dawson’s first at RCHS and his debut as a varsity coach, the RCHS Panthers won the regular season Butt Run crown. “To have any chance of winning the district title in 1984, we have to beat Stonewall, he maintained. Inconsistency Marks V-Ball By jim McCullough Rappahannock New* Sport* Writer Rappahannock’s girls’ volleyball team is off to a rocky start this season, the first ever for the sport at RCHS. They have the will to win and the spirit; they just haven’t mastered the necessary skills — yet — as they’ve lost their first three matches. “As expected from a first year team* the girls are still a little inconsistent,” said coach Sally Brand. “With time, we hope to amend this problem.” TTie inconsistency is obvious. One minute the girls are playing like sea soned veterans and the next they look like they’ve never seen a volleyball before. In their first contest at home two weeks ago against George Mason, the Lady Panthers won the first set in RCHS volleyball history but were then defeated in the second set and the tie breaker to lose the match against the more experienced Mustangs. Next they faced Strasburg, last year’s state champions in Virginia’s “A” division. The Panthers got off to a great start, leaping, smashing and serving their way to a 13-9 advantage in the first set. (Game is 15.) But the home team couldn’t drive those last few points in as Strasburg ran off six straight with an “ice” server to win, 13-15. Rapp’s girls played well, however, drawing a compliment from the referee who had also seen their first match. Unfortunately, the second set was another story. Recovering from the scare they’d suffered at the hands (and serves) of the newcomers, the Rams crushed the Lady Panthers in a lopsided 0-15. The visitors demonstrated why they’re the defending champs as they placed their power serves perfectly, preventing the Panthers, from returning a single one.I Rappahannock then went on the road to Clarke County to face the Eagles, another first year squad. Clarke swept two straight sets, 15-9, 15-8, leaving the Panthers still looking for their first win.

Poor play plagued the ICHS squad early in the ame as they turned the ball ver to the Eagles on their irst four possessions. But irtunately, they did better n the defensive end, steallg the ball almost as many imes as they lost it. Clarke held a one point dge, 8-9, at the close of the irst period and kept their >ush going in the second. Vith only three minutes ‘lapsed, they had Chucky enkinsm foul trouble with hree violations and upped heir lead to seven. But the ’anthers stole a little monentum with a buzzer shot >y Thomas Rector that cut he advantage to three. The Panthers stayed :lose in the third period but nissing the front end of too nany one-and-one foul shots n the fourth spelled the difference between victory and lefeat. Cougars Defeated The Juniors jumped back in the winning track against Manassas Park at home on VIonday, moving into second THOMAS RECTOR popped in 15 points in last week’s Junior Varsity contest with Clarke County. place in the district with a 38-31 victory. The 6-6 tie at the end of the first quarter was as close as the visiting Cougars ever got. After a steal, Thomas Rector drove coast-to-coast to put the Panthers up by an 18-12 margin as the first half closed. The boys from Manassas Park managed one more basket to cut the cushion to four but the Panthers left the court in control of the game. In the third quarter, coach Gregg Waters gave a lesson on how to use bench strength, going four men deep to give his starters a rest for the stretch drive. The Panthers romped. With only three seconds left in the game and Rapp ahead 36-31, H. B. Wood went to the free throw line. Waters pulled his other four players back to the other end of the court, leaving just Wood with the five Cougars. He sank the first shot, upping the difference to 36-31. His second attempt fell short but Wood, a guard, beat out three forwards and two guards to capture the rebound. He was fouled imme-' diately and this time, the cool sophomore sank both with a swish of the net to make the final 38-31. « T?**^*> «*nT t** IEW From the covered entry of Pennsylvania flagstone, the grandeur of the view of the VtgMa countryside from LONGVIEW extends from the Immediate gentle terrain of Great Meadow to the dignity of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

The problem may be that it is not a wart at all but a severe cystic type of callous. The wart is purely a skin problem ana can usually be treated by treating the skin alone. If the wart lies directly under a bony prominence (especially in the ball of the foot) it may not be a wart at all. There are two types of callouses. Both are caused by excessive shearing forces applied to a bony prominence. The first type is diffuse and spread out over a small area. The other is more intense in appearance and discomfort and is about the size of a dime or smaller. The types of treatment range from placing something in the shoe to adjust the function of the foot to others such as minor procedures to correct the underlying pressure problem. Dr. Bruce I.

Old Sweethearts Share Their Secrets For Happiness Sweeter The Second Time By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock Nf»s Staff Writer Sometimes no matter how hard you try to escape the fates, they keep thrusting you back into the path of someone who will be important to you one day. So when young Waldron O’Connor met a six-monthold baby named “Sammy”, he didn't quite realize that try though he might, there was no way he could avoid ending up living with her in Washington, Virginia 70 years later. They summered together in the Berkshires, the beautiful mountain range of Massachusetts that resembles our own Blue Ridge. She was a New Yorker, a sophisticated lady who lived on Statten Island during the ret of the year. Waldron remembers the first time he learned of her existence. “Her brother wrote to me in January of 1013 saying certain things regarding my athletic ability." he remembers. In passing, Henry mentioned that his sister Sammy would be joining them during vacations from then on. And so, Waldron recalls, they lived together during the summers. “Nobody thought anything about it in those days." Waldron was a glamorous older man of 12, but the Berkshires were full of glamourous older men then. “Maybe I crossed my eyes at him." Sam says, not remembering the exact moment when they were first formally introduced. Life went on. “I played with Henry and the two of us tried to keep clear of this infant who wasn’t up to our athletic standard,” Waldron says. His eyes twinkle. “Now she’s got more endurance than I have.” The years passed. Waldron stopped summering in the Berkshires for a while. “Suddenly I returned with a family in 1930 and here was this ravishing 16-year-old whom I pretended I had known all my life.” Sam smiles. “Nothing happened obviously. You were married and a few years later I was, too.” But Kismet hadn’t finished with them. The couples exchanged Christmas greetings until Waldron finally wed the widow ed Sam in Warrenton on December 15, 1969. It was a small ceremony. The two dogs waited outside in the car because Sam was afraid they couldn’t be allowed inside the Presbyterian church. “It’s absolutely essential to have a good dog,” Sam says by way of sharing her secrets of marital bliss. A firm believer in the “love me/love my dog” school of thought, Sam manages to balance the affections she lavishes on her Irish husband and the Irish water spaniel Parnell whose presence is the only “bone of contention” in their married life. Fighting about a dog is a good way to stay married— it keeps people from fighting about more serious things. In fact, the O’Connors agree that being serious is a good Rappahannock News Photo/M May SAM AND WALDRON O’CONNOR—and Parnell. way to ruin a marriage. “It’s very serious to have fun,” Sam advises. “A sense of humor is absolutely essential. If you don’t have a sense of humor, you’re never going to make it.” What about all the couples who have no humor, but manage to stay married for a long time? “They have to both be very dull,” Waldron theorizes. Being dull together gives them something they can share. The O’Connors share a lot besides their humorous, scantillating conversations. “We’re both baseball and Redskins fans,” Waldron says. “There is a tie that is stronger than anyone can appreciate.” They’re both interested in all sorts of things and en joy doing them together. They started the tradition of decorating a town Christmas tree. They, together with Mary Jamieson and the Bombergers, started the Rappahannock Players. They are extremely active in RAAC (The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community). Waldron’s mischievious smile returns, the one that makes him look like a leprechaun. “Yes,” he says, “We do it all for God, for country and for RAAC.” And that’s their secret ol success, channeling a lot ol enthusiasm into deciding which Cole Porter play to recommend for the Players’ fall show. Parnell agrees. (He has a sense of humor, too.) Keeping Busy Keeps The Donalds From Fighting By MIC HELE MAY |{;tppuhunn<M‘k Nev» > Staff Writer F rank Donald has a few choice wo ids for men thinking about marrying the lady... of their choice. "Any old frizzle-britches that would say he's been married 60 years and never had a cross word with is wife is the biggest liar in seven states.” Frank and Doris Donald sass each other back and forth but their feelings never seem to get ruffled. However, there’s one thing too serious to fight about, according to Doris — and that's MONEY: "That’s one of the biggest marriage killers there is, to fuss over money,” she says. “We've never had a cross word over money,” Frank says. Once a month they sit down over the bills together at their dining room table. They look at what she bought. They look at what he bought. And they pay with joint accounts. Their will is made out so everything automatically goes to the survivor. It’s a 50/50 proposition, Frank says, just as the rest of married life should be. "I don’t think that any man should rule his wife’s life." he says. “Where my right> ends, hers begin. She's got lust as much say as Ido." The truth is that the Donalds don't have time to fight if they wanted to. Especially during the summer, they’re on the go in a van equipped with tent and luxury sleeping bags. They go to the Shenandoah at least once a month, stay in constant contact with married daughter Margaret McCauley in Colesville, Maryland, and take frequent southern jaunts as far as Florida and back and to North Georgia where Doris was bom. They've also been to the Bahamas, Toronto, and L.A. They love to travel. While in Rappahannock, they stay busy with their various affairs with the Ruritan Club (Frank’s an officer), RSVP (They’re drivers for the Retired Senior Volunteers Program), the homemakers extension club (Doris can cook up a storm), the Amissville Baptist Church, the Capitol Chapter of Professional Secretaries International (Doris invites her former colleagues to Castleton each August for m massive cookout), the Rappahannock Library (Doris is a volunteer librarian on Thursdays) and on... and on... Doris says this hectic FRANK AND DORIS DONALD on their wedding day—June 1, 1946. life-style is healthy for their marriage. “The secret really is we’ve always been busy. We have enough in common, but also have diversities to keep from geting bored. He likes football; I hate it. I like to cook and he likes to eat. “I guess we get along about as well as anyone does.” (Hearing this, Frank laughs from the other room). “We’re involved in the church” Doris continues “we have friends there and do a lot there. And we saw wood By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON ltup|Mh*nfMK'k News Staff Writer “The hard times have been pretty, pretty rough,” admitted Ora Barbour, who with her husband, John, celebrated their 51st anniversary, their golden wedding anniversary, last year. “Anyone who’s been married that long and says they’ve never had a fight isn’t remembering very well. Yes, we’ve had rougl times but we’ve had very good times, too, and we’vt taken the good with th< bad.’’ It’s been hard work, lov< for their family and eacl other and mutual trust thai has cemented their marriagt into a relationship strong enough to withstand a hal century of testing, according to Ora. Both were bom an< and we make garden. That is, he rolls the manure in the wheelbarrow while I make garden and he saws the wood. We’re still together after 38 years so 1 guess there’s something to it. ” “I know one thing,” says Frank. “I know life woul be awful lonesome without her. I just wouldn’t want to live alone.” Frank had been left alone with three young children (ages 6, 8 and 10) when he met Doris at Petworth Baptist Church in D. C. during the war. She was a glamourous secretary and the widower worked for a bakery, delivering bread to the White House. They remember their first date was to a church picnic with his three children. Her first impression? “I thought he was good looking,” (Now Frank laughs from the kitchen where he’s searching for cookies.) “And he had thre< children that seemed to nee< a mother desperately.” “They say the way to ; man’s heart is through hi; stomach,” Frank adds ‘When we were first goinf together, she’d come over or Sundays and cook dinner for us and I really needed some body.” Frank had two other girl friends but he married Doris on June 1, 1946. It was a small ceremony with his three children in attendance. Two years later they had a daughter of their own. Now there are 15 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren come May. Says Frank, “I’d thank the Lord for one thing. They are all healthy and beautiful children.” “We’ve had a good time,” says Doris. “We’ve had our ups and downs, but we’re still together.” Golden Wedding Bells Rang For Barbours Last Year raised in the town of Washington and went to school together. “John would tease me to death with other girls. He’d buy them little things and wouldn’t get me anything! I guess you could say we were childhood sweethearts. There were other boys I palled around with but John always came in first.” i When the Barbours were first married, John worked as a chauffeur for a family in Flint Hill, a job he held for 28 years. “He’d go off in November and I might not see him again until March. He’d drive them from here to Georgia, from Georgia to Florida, then back to West Virginia.” Ora was left alone to keep their home running and raise four children. I “Many a night I’d put my head down on that pillov and cry—I’d get so lonely,' she recalled. She filled her hours witl work, just as she had whilt still a child. “My mothei died when I was 13 and I hat to be the mother for mi little brothers and sisters, she said. Ora was forced t< quit school and take a job ii Washington House, thi town hotel, that year. “Ev ery fall, I’d take some of th< money I’d put aside and bu; clothes for school for m; brothers and sisters,” shi remembered. When her owi children were small, shi took in laundry, worked fo private families and fount jobs “down country” ii Fairfax County. What with John taken away by his employment, times were hard for the Bar Clyde And Lilly Pullen Worked To Stay Happy By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* SUIT Writer On May 8, Clyde and Lilly Pullen will celebrate their 48th annivesary. “That is, if we make it that long,” Lilly joked. “It hasn't been no play time. We’ve fought and fussed, a little bit of everything. That’s what’s kept us together, I guess. That and hard work. Mostly we’ve been pretty happy.” Clyde and Lilly grew up in next door hollows—Lilly born and raised in Gid Brown, Clyde bom and raised in Old Hollow. “I can tell you exactly how we met. My first cousins lived right below us. I was visitin’ them and they went back to the house with me. On our way, this man rode up on horse back and it was him,” Lilly said, tilting her head in Clyde’s direction where he sat in an easy chair, wearing a grin so wide, it looked like it would break his face in to. “He started foolin’ with us. Then he started foolin’ with me and he asked, ‘How ’bout my cornin’ over on Sunday?’ and I said, ‘you can do as you please!’ ” recalled Lilly, smiling at the memory of her coolness in the face of the young man’s attentions. “Then he started cornin’ over every weekend. And a year later, we got married. No, it was two years,” she added, corrected by Clyde as he rapped on the arm of the chair with his knuckles. “We worked hard. Oh yes, we worked hard,” Lilly continued. She was no stranger to it. “My mother died when I was 9 and I went to stay with Dr. Snead’s mother. She really made you work but I sure appreciate all she did for me. She gave me all the education I’ve got.” After she and Clyde were married, they both had jobs in a dairy a half mile from their home in the hollow. Their schedule was especially difficult after babies Rappahannock News Photo/T. Reynolds STILL WORKING TOGETHER, Clyde and Lilly Pullen tend a pot of bubbling apple butter. were born. “We’d have to leave at 3:30 in the morning. The children were just three years old and one, just babies.” They couldn’t carry the sleeping little ones on the half mile tromp in the dark through the damp and chilly mountain morning. And even if they could have afforded a baby sitter, there was none to be had at that hour. “So I cleaned everything out of a room that they could hurt themselves with—everything. And I locked them in. We'd get back at 7 a.m. and those little ones would be just gettin’ awake and climbin’ in bed with each other to play,” their mother remembered. At 7, the Pullens had already put in half a days work. We’d get all the cattle up from way back in the pines. I’d wash their sacks with three rags and then dry them with two while the old man cleaned out the manure trough,” Lilly said. Clyde would milk while she raked, swept and limed the barn. Back home, Lilly would get breakfast and send Clyde off to farm work while she tended the kids, washed clothes and cleaned the house, at 3:30 in the afternoon, they’d head back to the dairy, this time taking the children. We’d lock the little one in a room in the barn while we took care of the cows,” Lilly recalled. “It was hard work but 1 reckon that’s what done it—kept us together for all these years.” Later, Clyde would rent Johnny Gore’s orchard and manage one of his own as well. “I’d help pick. Gerber Company bought the peaches for baby food and we’d take the apples to Fairfax to sell. That was 15 years ago,” she said, after checking with Clyde to get the .chronology right. “It’s hard to say how many bushels we picked, me and him together. Those were the good old days though. “At night, we’d get back home after dark, and we’d have to carry a lantern to get our own three cows in the barn and milk them and cut wood for the next morning. It wasn’t an easy life but we really enjoyed it. “You’ve got to keep yourself busy to be happy and we kept busy. And we raised six children,” said Lilly, pausing to smile at Clyde. He flashed an answering smile, nodded his head in agreement. Clyde Pullen can’t speak. Nine years ago, he was felled by a stroke that left him completely bedridden. The doctors gave him only a few months to live. But he and Lilly worked together, just as they always had. First he stood, then he inched around in a walker and despite a bad fall that resulted in a broken hip and temporary setback, today he gets around with only a cane. His speech never returned. But he communicates with nods and shakes of his head, smiles and frowns and taps on the arm of his chair. “After almost 50 years together, we understand each other,” Lilly said. Pawleys Cast As Compatible Couple By MICHELE MAY Kappahunnurk News SlnfT W riter “I had this positively hideous aversion to what we called blondine hair in those days,” remembers Ed Pawley. In fact, he says he was allergic to peroxide. The rough hair of bleached leading ladies made his face break-out in a rash. Yet it was years before he learned that the golden. tressed lady he had married | was really a brunette. Helen’s mother had bleached i her daughter’s hair for a role i in the 1930 production of “Life is Like That.” Edward was cast opposite the beautiful (then blonde) star and was totally enchanted. They were married in a quiet ceremony in California on January 23, 1937. Still she kept several secrets. “For years I thought she was a blonde,” Ed says, “But she is just as desirable as a brunette. Helen says the truth came out when her sister cut off all her hair one day andleft only dark roots curling all over her head. The truth about her age came out only when it came time to collect social security. The question of age is a confusing and inconsequential matter to Helen Pawley. A child actress, she had to be older on stage to circum Rappahannock New* PhouVM May EDWARD AND HELEN PAWLEY vent child labor laws and younger on trains to get cheaper tickets. It was hard to keep track of her real age. However, a bouquet of fresh daffodils, balloons and streamers marked a major celebration of her birthday last weekend at their Rock Mills home. This happy room, Ed says, is sort of symbolic of their secret of married success. “It’s an open room,” he says. “And on a day like today the sun pours in. If you had a few bad days, you feel life is starting again.” Like changes in weather, the moods in marriage make life interesting, according to Ed Pawley. ‘This inclement weather adds a spice to the spring days that are coming.” Any human relationship doesn’t have a chance unless there is a sufficient number of contrasts in the mood.” Helen sums up their happiness with one word: “compatible.” For years the Pawleys had their theatrical careers in common and since 1955, their mutual love of life at Rock Mills. Their “little castle” looks out on Red Oak Mountain — one of the county 8 most stunning scenic vistas.

I know that sometimes it’s necessary but I don’t really believe in divorce. If you really try, you can see your problems through,” Ora said, maintaining that couples today give up too easily. “We don’t alwavs agree, we never have. His ideas are different than mine. But I guess that’s the same with everybody. You can’t always agree,” she mused. “Daddy, you’ve lived with me all these years ’cause I’m so onery!

John and Ora Barbour believe in those “until death do us part” wedding vows % they made in 1933... They’ve said the promises to each other three times, repeating them on their 25th anniversary and again last year after 50 years. “Last week, we had the children over and we ate the top, the last piece of our 50th anniversary cake,” Ora said. “I never thought we’d make 50 but you never know,” she concluded, smiling.

Rappahannock Journal •Farm •Business •Garden •Rural Life Six More Weeks *Til Spring< Rappahannock Rick Sees Shadow By MICHELE MAY KapMhaniMirk N«»» Staff Writer Rappahannock Rick rose bright and early last Thursday morning. That was his problem. It was bright when he rose early last Thursday morning. Rappahannock Rick is a country cousin of Punxsutawney Phil, the famous groundhog whose annual appearance has been greeted by a tuxedo-clad committee for 97 years. Only five times has Phil failed to see his shadow during all those years. When he sees his shadow, the Punxsutawney dignitaries tell the world that their groundhog has forecast six more weeks of cold winter weather. While Rappahannock Rick’s fans wore flannel shirts and bib overalls, they were none the less interested in what the local chances for an early spring might be. They waited rather impatiently. Rick’s alarm clock clanged at dawn. The sky was clear, not a cloud along the length of the Blue Ridge or width of the county. Rick stretched and turned, then put his wee little tea kettle on to boil, but his friends1 outside began knocking loudly. “If you don’t come out now, we’re gonna drag you out, you hairy groundhog,” one of them sang out sweetly. “Get out of the bed, you lazy bum!” His head and shoulders appeared from above his solar-heated underground home just outside of Smog Hollow. He tentatively tapped one bare toe to the remnants of last year’s cold cabbage patch, spotted the tell-tale shadow with a worried glance, then turned with a jerk. Down the hatch he went, for six more weeks of sleep. Rick later confided that his ability to forecast an extension in winter cl HUNT COUNTRY HOME HEALTH 1066 Hastings Lane Warrenton, Virginia 22186 We Make Home Visits We Can Provide: Skilled NurMiifE Home Health \itle IMixsicul Thera|>\ S|RN*t h Tliera|»v Oeeti|»atioital Tlirra|>\ Medieal St trial W orkri l^alxiratory Truling Nutritional Srn ieea Homemaker Serv u*e* All insurances accepted.

If the earth’s axis were perpendicular to the plane of the earth’s orbit around the sun there would be no change of seasons." (Rick likes to read almanacs a lot during the winter.) The veracity of groundhog promises has been questioned in some quarters, however. Even Punxsutawney Phil faces sneers from students and bureaucrats when he makes his weather report. And Page County reporters aren’t forgetting their local groundhog's gaff. Last year he stepped out on a soggy day, couldn’t see his shadow and forecast an early spring. A week later the entire Commonwealth was buried under the biggest snowstorm to hit in 20 years. Everyone will remember that for a long time. Rappahannock Rick didn’t want to talk about it.

This disease is not tranmissible to humans and hense poses no health risk to the public.

Now at big savings. —Rappahannock News PhoteVD. Hutchinson NEW PRESIDENT OF THE PIEDMONT BOARD is realtor Eileen Day of Washington. Day Named Head Of Piedmont Board Eileen Day has been named president of the Piedmont Board of Realtors. Day, who manages Eileen Day Realty in Washington, received her real estate license in 1964 and moved to Rappahannock County from neighboring Fauquier in 1968. Employed then by Thomas and Talbot of Middleburg, she worked out of her home. She opened her own office in 1976 in what is now Middle Street Gallery and joined the Piedmont Board of Realtors soon after. She was appointed to Piedmont’s board of directors in 1980. That same year, she was awarded a million dollar sales certificate by Realty World. “I’m no longer so actively involved in sales but someone from our office has had sales totalling over $1 million every year since. That’s pretty good for being in little Rappahannock County during a recession with interest rates so high,” Day said. Day recently completed graduation requirements at the Realtor’s Institute, finishing a comprehensive 90 hour course that covered ethics, appraising, financing, construction, marketing and real estate law. Other Piedmont officers elected along with Day include vice-president Sally Lea of Culpeper, secretary Beverly Atkins of Sperryville and treasurer Cindy Phillips from Lake of the Woods. Elected to Piedmont’s board of directors were Frances Wright from J&J Real Estate in Culpeper, Dorothy Gassman from Pam Cookland Real Estate in Orange, Sam Snead from Snead Realty in Rappahannock, Bruce Herndon of Bruce Herndon and Associates in Orange and Art Wood from Art Wood and Associates in Gordonsville. Day can be expected to bring the same enthusiasm to the post of president that she takes to her office in the remodeled Clopton House. She’s a woman who loves her work. “I’ve met so many interesting people,” she said, ticking off the names of the famous who have bought their homes from Eileen Day Realty: former Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg in Fauquier County, Sen. Mark Hatfield from Oregon, presidential candidate Eugene McCarthy, Sen. Lowell Weicker, Jr. from Connecticut. “There are so many wonderful places in Rappahannock County. I can’t buy them all so the next best thing is helping the right people find them,” Day said. “I really eqjoy matching people to properties.” 3) Wear sanitized boots, clean clothing and head gear. 4) Should birds appear sick, isolate them and observe strict sanitation. 5) Upgrade husbandry, provide for bird comfort. 6) Don’t mix egg flats or birds from other locks. 7) Any birds exhibited in poultry shows should be isolated for at least two weeks from the remainder of the flock. 8) Burn or deep bury dead birds. Sealed, leakproof containers (strong plastic bags) should be used for transporting dead birds. Virginia poultry owners are urged to limit traffic between neighboring farms, not to sell or buy poultry through public sales barns and not to import any type poultry from neighboring infected states. Close observation of flocks is encouraged. Any suspicious signs, symptoms or unusual mortality should be reported to the nearest Virginia Department of Agriculture Diagnostic Laboratory or the Rappahannock SPERRY^ISEW HOLLAND WHITE PARTS 10% DISCOUNT PRE-SEASON SPECIAL Place your order by February 25th for White tillage and planter parts and not only have your parts before the season but earn a 10% discount. 25% SAVINGS WINTER TIME SPECIALS Batteries.$36.88 Antifreeze.3.50 Hy Tran Oil.24.85 Heat Hauser Cab..125.00 Oil Pan Heater.35.00 Pirn* your ordar with Wayna or Jimmy New Holland-Culpeper 790 James Madison Highway (703)825-0188 The Tax Man Cometh Tor some, associations with spring include seed catalogues, Easter eggs, kite flying or marbles. But for others, the approaching season is more ominous. It means the arrival of April 15 —and tax time. That’s when the Washington H&R Block office traditionally reappeare. Office manager Marion Kuhn says this is its 9th year here, her 8th working in the Washington and Warrenton offices. Kuhn says there are three people working in the Washington H&R Block office this year, but it’s best to make an appointment since tax preparers’ services are in such demand this time. Located in the Rappahannock News building, H&R Block is closed on Tuesdays, open until 7 p.m. on Fridays, and open Saturdays 9noon. Each fiscal genius brings a solid background to the business that Kuhn thinks enables the preparers to cope with any complicated calculations. Kuhn has a bachelor’s degree in statistics and accounting and does opinion research for the University of Chicago. Marge Atkins also has a degree in statistics and has been a preparer with H&R Block for five years. (She’s also assistant county registrar.) Atkins is in the office on Fridays by appointment. Tax preparer Charlie Davis is spending his third year with H&R Block. He was previously a computer systems analyst and programmer for the federal government’s General Accounting Office. Davis was an accounting major in college. He’s at the Rappahannock H&R office on Mondays and Thursdays by appointment and also works in the company’s offices in Culpeper and Manassas. Davis, who lives in Hume where he also raises pigs, says he likes to keep his pencil sharp during the springtime when his accounting skills can “help a lot of neighbors.” Extension Office. Wild waterfowl and birds may also be infected with or carriers of avian influenza. Hunters should be cautious. At this time, there have been no outbreaks in Rappahannock County. However, producers with any fowl at all (2 to 500 birds) are asked to call the Extension Office (675-3619) and leave their name and the number of birds they own. The office is putting together educational materials to send to all poultry growers in the county. Far JnayearofmabT tax law changes can help you niore than ever. Rappahannock News Photo'M May TAX PREPARER CHARLIE DAVIS is ready to help unravel complicated figures at the Washington H&R Block office (next door to the Rappahannock News). Davis says once when he took a refresher course, he saved himself the cost of the class in the first year in taxes. “It’s always nice to help your neighbors save some taxes,” he says now of his own experience. Davis is a man who likes to share his own good fortune. All of the H&R employees take regular refresher courses to keep up with changes in tax law and techniques, Kuhn added, and they’re ready to put their know-how to heavy duty service in time for that alltoo-soon spring day when taxes come due.
