The Weather: Torrential Rains Sent Flood Water Spilling Over Roads And Fields By MICHELE MAY Kappahann«H k New * Stuff Writer These things falling from the sky Tuesday were not V'alentines. Far from it. They were, as Rappahannock residents well know, rain drops. Enough of them to cause some powerful destructive forces. Lee and Connie Keyser of Washington woke to find their back basement wall caved in. They and their neighbors s|>ent the morning standing under torrents of rain and shoveling the mud out of the way to assess the extent of the damage. By noon Rappahannock’s highway's maintenance crews had compiled quite a list of flooded bridges and hollows where no one would hazard to drive. They had closed Route t>22 between b2S and fi22 in Harris Hollow. Routes »>12, »>1K, all of Rock Mills, Route »>21 between 522 and (>20, Route *>25 to the dead end at <>22. ♦>44 in Slate Mills and Route H00. That was so far. Workers were posting as fast as they could with what signs they had. School superintendent Robert Estahrook said the elementary and high school buildings were both closed at 8:45 a.m. Administrators had thought around six o’clock that classes could still be held, he said, but some of the drivers saw that the back roads were not passable. Some of the drivers simply turned around and returned the children to their homes. Administrators were able to catch others before they started out, Estabrook said. Half a dozen buses made it to school, the superintendent added, only to be “gassed up and sent back." By mid-morning, all the drivers had called in and reported the- students returned -safely to their homes, according to Estabrook. School had closed early in surrounding counties as well. The school board meeting scheduled for Tuesday was postponed until Thursday. Sperryville weather watcher Dennis Wingfield measured nearly five inches of rain during the 21 hour span between 4:30 Monday afternoon and 1:30 Tuesday afternoon. That was as much precipitation as during the entire first half of February last year, he noted. Even including 2.18 inches resulting from the first pelting of last year’s record snow storm, the total precipitation through February 1-14, 1983 was 4.92 inches, Wingfield said. There was 5.21 inches of precipitation dur-, ingall of February, 1983. As of February 14, there had been 5.33 so far this year. The rain started in Sperryville around eight o’clock Monday evening, Wingfield observed. Earlier there had been a slight drizzle. By 10:15 p.m., he could measure .30 inch in his rain gauge. ~ Meanwhile, worried parents waited on the north side of the bridge near the Child Care and Learning Center Tuesday noon wondering how they would get their children home. They watched while good neighbors with a tractor pulled a marooned car off the bridge. The water was above the windows. It poured out the open door as the tractor tugged the car from the rising tide.

Customers of Rappahannock Electric Cooperative were surprised with bills that ranged from 25 percent to 400 percent more than the same month in 10X2, according to REC’s Frances Updike. "The increase depended upon the type of heating system the individual has. The largest increases came with electric furnaces," he noted. The hike in fuel bills directly relates to the cold, Updike said, pointing out that REC has not raised the rates it controls since June, 1982. He acknowledged, however, that customers did receive a 7.8 percent rate increase in October, a “pass through” charge caused by a wholesale power hike from VEPCO. Systemwide, REC’s kilowatt hour sales went up 8.7 percent in December, 1983, compared to the same month the previous year and then jumped 28.1 percent in January, 1984, versus January, 1983. Even households without electric heat have seen electrical bills climb, according to Updike. “We don’t have electric heat but our usage went up 200 kilowatt hours last month because we had to use space heaters to thaw our frozen pipes,” he said. Updike reported that the cost of keeping warm" this January was higher everywhere, not just in REC’s service area. “It’s totally widespread — all over the country this heating season.” According to the Washington Post, natural gas users in the metropolitan area paid about 26 percent more for heating this January than in 1983, with average bills jumping from $135 to $170.

Motorists Can Expect Worst Potholes In Years "Pothole alert.” It’s that time of year again;-time when the annual freeze-thaw cycle turns pavement into potholes. “Our preliminary indications are that we’re going to have a pretty bad spring breakup, both on the hard surfaced and gravel roads,” rei ported resident highway engineer Don Askew this week. “We had an usually wet fall and then a deep freeze in sub-zero weather. I don’t know how far the freeze line goes down. The water penetrated into the pavement, froze and came popping back out — again and again and again. We're going to have fun this spring!” he added. “It looks like we may have the worst breakup we've had in four or five years.” Where to find money for unanticipated maintenance projects in a continually shrinking highway budget may also be difficult, according to Askew. “Money is always a problem — just like it was (for road clearance) with all these ice storms.’’ he added. Payment for both snow removal and road repairs comes out of the same maintenance pot. Askew said. “If the snow would stop right now. today, we'd be in great shape but we’ve got four or five more weeks to worry r about. And in the meantime, tem|>eratures are warm enough for thawing; in the day time. Gravel roads are getting muddy and were getting potholes in the paved roads.” The resident engineer is hesitant to begin many repair projects yet because weather conditions -are so unpredictable; money spent regravqling today may be needed for spreading chemists on icytriHs and curves next week. “We're hauling gravel to muddy roads one day and pushing snow out of the way the next. One day we’re repairing potholes while the weather forecasters are calling for snow,” Askew said. Looking Forward To March 12 Does the highway department have any inside information on what to expect in the month ahead? “Only what (television weatherman) Gordon Barnes said,” Askew answered, smiling and shaking his head in dismay. "When everyone was watching to see if the groundhog spotted his shadow, Barnes said, uh liuh, not six more weeks of winter but eight weeks! I sure hope he's wrong." If the forecaster is right, Askew will have to revise (Continued on Page 14) 1 Closed In Honor Of Washington’s Birthday Closed on Monday, February 20, in observance of George Washington’s birthday will be county and state offices, U.S. post offices, Rappahannock’s public schools, Sursum Corda Child Care and Learning Center and the Rappahannock National Bank.

Work Proceeds On Town Zoning Ordinance Trinity Episcopal Seeks Variance By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock News Staff Writer Washington Town Council received a request from Trinity Episcopal Church representatives last Wednesday, February 8, likely to spur work on the new zoning ordinance. Plans to expand the parish hall were presented by junior warden Henry C. Sutherland and vestryman Joe Sherman. An addition to the front of the existing parish hall would add an area measuring 21*3* by 25’5”, according to the drawings. The Gay Street side of the building would be in line with the front of the church proper. The entrance in the center of the front would remain as it is with a courtyard between the two parts of the building. The outside of the addition would be styled to ressemble the rest of the church, which was built prior to 1851, according to the application. The side set-back of the parish hall is currently three feet. A variance is needed to extend the room along its present lines since the ordinance requires 15 feet setback. BZA Must Grant Mayor Newbill Miller told Sutherland and Sherman, “If I had the say so, I would okay the variance today.” But only a Board of Zoning Appeals can grant a variance. Miller added, and until a new town zoning ordinance is approved, there is no Board of Zoning appeals for Washington. Miller alluded to recent controversy over the building project at The Inn in which the council’s authority to grant special use permits and variances was questioned. The new ordinance must provide for appointment of a Board of Zoning Appeals to hear such cases, he said. “So we’re on hold until then?” asked Sutherland. “I don’t want to delay but we have to do what Doug tells us to,” said Miller referring to town attorney Douglas Baumgardner who is helping to review drafts of the proposed ordinance. Sutherland pointed out that the church had hoped to start work in the spring on the building expansion. Even if the council had the right or assumed the right to vote on the variance > under"tTir ^sent' ordinance, Miller said it would still have to advertise for a public hearing and could not immediately decide. “I don’t think the ordinance is valid, yet this is the law of the town until it’s struck down,” he said. Draft Under Review Answering a question from Diane Bruce, Miller said it could take as long to amend the present ordinance to provide for appointment of a Board of Zoning Appeals as it would take to adopt the new code. The regional planning District Commission had delivered a draft of the proposed town zoning ordinance the week before, Miller noted. He said he spent three hours reviewing it on Sunday, February 5, but felt it needed to be “modified to suit the town.” Miller described the draft proposal for four zones within the tow n of Washington as “a bit much.” (The district planners had proposed four district types: R1 limited residential, R-2 general residential, C-l commercial village center and C-2 general commercial.) Miller agreed that the present ordinance errs in having the entire town within a single district, but added that Washington is made up of fairly clearly defined residential and busi ness districts. He suggested simply outlining the present character of the town on a property map. Where there are businesses now would be the commercial district and all others would be residential, he proposed. The draft granted the Town Council the power to appoint a five member Board of Zoning Appeals, Miller added, but Baumgardner has reported that the board must be appointed by the courts under state Time Schedule Once town officials finish reviewing the draft, it will be sent to the Rappahannock Planning Commission (which also serves as Planning Commission for the town) for approval and then back to the Town Council for public hearing. Bruce asked whether council has a time frame for adopting the new ordinance. “I’m available three to four nights a week to work on it,” answered Miller. If the ordinance is ready to forward to the Planning Commission within a week, it could be advertised for the March agenda, Bruce pointed out. If the new ordinance could be adopted by mid-April, it might be possible for the church to meet its spring starting date, she added. Miller and Sutherland planned to meet with Baumgardner on Friday to discuss review requirements on the church request. Baumgardner said it would speed the process of adopting a new ordinance if the Town Council could schedule joint meetings with the Planning Commission. The new ordinance might be in force within 60 days at the earliest, he said. That would allow time for proper public notice of the hearings. Under the normal proc(Continued on Page 2) 1 hree Republicans Now At 1 he Starting Gate In 7th Race Three Republicans who were considering a try for the seat now held by Reb. J. Kenneth Robinson have formally announced their intenV tions to seek the GOP's 7th Congressional District nomination. The announcements come in the two weeks since “front runner” Del. Raymond R. “Andy" Guest said he will not run. Leesburg attorney J. Paul McDonald, a Clarke Couhty resident, became an official candidate Tuesday night at a press conference in Winchester. D. French Slaughter Jr., Culpeper lawyer, announced February 1 that he wants the GOP nomination for the seat which Robinson, a seven term veteran, will vacate at the year’s end. McDonald and Slaughter Jim HoDgood acknowledged that their candidacies hinged on Guest’s decision not to run for the congressional post. Guest, a Warren County farmer and businessman who represents Rappahannock County and the rest of the 31st District in the Virginia House of Delegates, said on January 30 that congressional service would pose potential conflicts of irVjterests with his family’s international business. This week, Jim Hobgood officially joined the race. For the past eight years, he has been Congressman Robinson’s assistant, handling government and constituent relations with 11 jurisdictions in the eastern half of the Seventh District. Main Issues Like Rep. Robinson, both McDonald and Slaughter said they support President Reagan’s economic policies and his efforts to J. Paul McDonald rebuild what he sees as the nation’s previously neglected defenses. Hobgood’s chief concerns include “a na tional defense whose readiness and ability to defend us cannot be in doubt," immediate reduction of federal deficits and “a government lt»an and responsible, yet compassionate to those truly in need." Both McDonald and Slaughter agree defense and the economy are the major issues before Congress. Unlike President Reagan, McDonald says a tax hike may be necessary to cut federal budget deficits. “We’re going to have to face it,” he said. “But we’ve got to be doing better before we can tax more.” He suggested allowing the economy to continue its recovery for another year — until after the November elections — before , considering tax changes. D. French Slaughter McDonald believes that the average citizen is more concerned about his or her personal economic situation than about the ■getter*} deh - cit. Accordingly, he predicts that Republicans will fare well on election day. “Pocketbook issues will determine this election,” he said. McDonald also supports a constitutional amendment to 'require a balanced budget. Virginia has always operated in that manner, he noted. Slaughter said he too would favor requiring a balanced budget. And unlike Rep. Robinson, he would like to see the president given line item veto power to control categorical government spending. “The deficit must be reduced,” he maintained. “Government has got to slow down its rate of growth in spending.” In addition to defense and the economy, Hobgood » Uteri iirnti :n thn 7>h District campaign: continuation of Rep. Robinson’s commitment of service to every constituent. In the statement announcing his candidacy, Hobgood said he is resigning as the congressman’s aide in order to make the race for the GOP nomination. He noted that his duties as congressional district assistant enabled him to know thousands of constituents and their problems and to help with those problems. Hobgood added that he was also in regular contact with scores of government offices and agencies. “I know of no other activity, even elective office, that offers such diverse and pertinent experience for a candidate," he said. ifTirtiniiariiniUtos? ®

A member of the Virginia General Assembly from 1958-78, he was the chief patron of the Community College Act of 1966, which created the statewide community college system. McDonald, 46, served five years as vice chairman of the Leesburg Planning Commission before moving to White Post in Clarke County. In 1975, he ran unsuccessfully against State Senator Charles L. Waddell. An Academic All-American, Hobgood was a scholarship athlete at the University of Virginia and co-captained the 1972-73 Cavalier basketball team. Viewed as a long shot for the nomination, Hobgood acknowledged that the race Cost Of Heat Climbs (Continued from Page 1') Frank Blankenship of Oil Heat and Burner Service in Front Royal reported that homeowners who rely on oil heat burned 25 percent more fuel this January than last year. Due to the cold, the average family will require the equivalent of approximately two weeks additional heat, he said. Still A Normal Winter “But in terms of what’s normal, we’re about average for the year,” Blankenship noted, adding that he’d checked records for the past four heating seasons. “Historically, we’ve had ups and downs in temperatures. This year is colder than last but last year was 20 percent warmer than average. Right now, we’re about level with 1982,” Blankenship said. According to the fuel oil supplier, the price of heating oil has escalated sharply in the past month. “Our cost jumped about 22 cents a gallon in January," she reported, adding that the total increase has not been passed on to the consumer, “We didn’t raise our profit margin. In fact, it’s lower than it was last year at this time.” He attributed the jump to a temporary shortage caused by the unusually high demand that began with December’s sub-zero weather. But again, he pointed out, the price of heating oil, like the temperature, is about equal to what it was in 1982. Even with January’s price increases, this season’s oil costs are lower than last winter’s, according to Aubrey North of Nish North and Sons in Huntly. He said that last year, he charged customers $1.30 some cents a gallon compared to today’s price of $1.23.5 per gallon. North’s records show an even higher demand for heat this January than those of bigger oil suppliers or power companies.

All the candidates said they expect enthusiastic competition from the Democrats who offered Rep. Robinson only sporadic opposition in the past 14 years. But to date, no Democrat has announced formal candidacy. Alson H. Smith, Jr. and George Gilliam are the most frequently mentioned contenders. Smith represents Winchester and Frederick County in the General Assembly. Gilliam ran against Robinson 10 years ago ered approximately 50 percent more oil and kerosene than in the same month of the previous year. More Degree Days According to the National Weather Service, the frigid air responsible for higher heating bills blasted into the Northern Virginia area on Christmas Eve, knocking temperatures down to the equivalent of 37 below zero when the wind chill factor was included. The coldest period came Superbowl weekend. On Saturday, the high temperature at Dulles Airport reached 15 degrees; the low dropped to minus 16. On Sunday, a new record was set when the thermometer dipped two degrees lower to minus 18 degrees. 1 he cold has lowered “degree days” - by 13 percent, Francis Updike reported. “Degree days are based on a median of 65 degrees. Within a 24 hour period, you take the maximum and minimum temperatures, add them together, divide by two and subtract the re-. suit from 65 degrees. That, gives you degree days,” he explained. “For instance, on the Saturday before the Superbowl the high was 15 and the low minus 16. Add those and you get minus one. Divide by two, you get onehalf. Round that off to zero and subtract from 65 degrees and you get 65 degree days. In December, our normal for degree days is 927. This year, we had 1,067. For January, the normal is 1,042. Last month, we had 1,207.” Updike noted that REC does not cut off service to customers with overdue bills “if there’s any danger to anyone. . . When the temperature drops below freezing, we’re not going to disconnect power. We realize that our customers are facing higher than normal heating costs and we’re ready to make payment arrangements on an individual basis,” he said. “All a customer needs to do is contact us gt 825-8373 and we can work out a schedule.” Variance (Continued from Page 1.) ess with the usual scheduling, Baumgardner said it could be as late as May before the council accepted the new code. Baumgardner said he is reviewing the draft from the planners and will try to have it to them in time for this week’s meeting. Town Survey Planned Miller also told the Town Council that he has received two bids for having a certified survey of the town lines made and will contact the Board of Supervisors to see if the county will foot half of the bill. The location and boundaries of all districts and the town limits must be shown on a zoning map to be filed in the office of the clerk of the circuit court and in the office of the mayor, according to the proposed ordinance. The town/county boundaries must be fixed by the General Assembly, Miller said, but they can’t be reviewed during the current session because agenda items must be submitted several days before the General Assembly convenes. But Miller said he expected to have the proposal filed in time for the next session in early 1985.

RAAC Sponsors Puppet Show Bob Brown and his famous puppets will be on stage Sunday, February 26 at the Gay Street Theater in Washington, presenting a program of folk tales from Cambodia, Iran and Chili. The Fool, The Ghoul, and Clever Carmelita, a funny and spooky production using both hand and rod puppets, was originally produced for the Arlington County public schools to reflect population shifts in that area. Since then, Bob Brown has brought his zany characters to Misterogers’ Neighborhood. The Word Shop, and Mulligan Stew, all seen on national television. The Fool will appear first on the program, starting at 2 p.m. Sunday. Advance tickets, $2 for children and $2.50 for non-RAAC members, are available at Nature’s Foods and Middle Street Gallery in Washington, through the geography department at the Rappahannock County Elementary School and at the Gay Street Theater. Puppets will have authentic costumes and will dance, sing and move to the music of their countries. Bob Brown says that this show should appeal to youngsters from grades one through six. Older children and adults are welcome.

GfZ&'Estate EQUAL HOUttNQ OPPORTUNITY Eileen M, Day realtor :j \ TAX CREDITS AND DEDUCTIONS There is a difference between tax credits and tax deduction. A credit is a reduction of the actual taxes paid. A tax deduction is a reduction of taxable income. Fortunately, homeowners have an opportunity to avail themselves of both tax breaks. A homeowner can take a tax credit for rehabilitation of an historic property (including a home in a historic district) of 25% of the cost of rehabilitation. Another example of tax credits available for homeowners is that available for energy conservation expenses. A homeowner can take a maximum credit of 15% of the first $2,000 for in stalling such energy saving devices as a new furnace or insulation and a 40% credit for the first $10,000 for installing renewable energy devices such as solar heating. As far as tax deductions go, a homeowner can deduct from taxable income: mortgage interest and property taxes and the $125,000 capital gains exclusion for those over 55.

Workshop Set February 26 Interest In Alcoholism Growing But Understanding Still Lags During the past few years there has been a tremendous upsurge in interest in the disease of alcoholism. Where once only a few professionals and groups addressed the disease, it has now grabbed the attention of a whole spectrum of people - employers, unions, physicians, mental health counselors, insurance companies, ministers, the courts, friends and relatives of alcoholics and, of course, alcoholics themselves. One reason for the increased interest is the growing awareness that alcoholism has had a massive impact on the quality of American life. Most Americans have read articles and heard ads on TV and radio about drunk drivers, teenage alcoholics, “care units” and the like; yet, few have any clear understanding of this baffling disease. This point can be illustrated by considering a few examples. , -^Despite, the, well-documented destruction of normal family life, most alcoholics drink “alcoholically” for an average of 10 years before family members are aware of it. —Although alcoholism costs industry billions upon billions of dollars annually in absehteeism, accidents, equipment damage and inferior work, most employers could not identify a typical alcoholic worker. —Although alcoholism is this nation’s number one hidden health problem, few doctors can diagnose it correctly prior to its late stages. —Despite the disease’s devastating effects on the emotional health of the alcoholic, few psychologists or psychiatrists are trained to BUFFET Friday, February 17 Saturday, February 18 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., both days Alto Daily Luncheon A Dinner Specials Salad Bar at no extra cost with extras! bay W«d. • All the pan filed chicken you can eat buy Thera. • All the spaghetti with special sauce you can eat Friday - Fried Pork Chops and Fried Flounder Saturday.

The fact that the majority of professional and lay people have such shortcomings when confronting alcoholism is not due to stupidity or lack of interest. It is due, rather, to a lack of knowl edge of a deceptive complex disease, its symptoms, effects, defenses and its treatment. It is a disease that can be successfully treated but only with proper knowledge. The downward course of the disease process can be arrested but only if the alcoholic and those around him know what they’re doing. In an effort to present the community with helpful information the Rappahannock Mental Health Clinic and the Mental Health Association of Rappahannock County are cosponsoring an Alcoholism Workshop dealing with an overview of the disease. It will highlight: possible causes, symptoms, the progression of the illness, high-risk populations, effects on others and the need for treatment. The workshop will be held Sunday, February 26th, at the Micjdle Street Gallery (next to the Inn) in Washington from 7 to 9 p.m. Admission, is freehand the public is in- : ———<^tp>n Garden Seeds Are In!

Weather Forecasting Is Strictly For The Dog ByDArHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer The television weathermen are again giving one of those forecasts that cover all possibilities, maybe an inch of snow, maybe two or three with an outside chance of six or then again, the storm may miss Northern Virginia completely. Those who need something definite in order to plan for babysitters, stock wood and food, get ready to haul hay to cattle, finish a term paper due the next day, make a run to Culpeper for movies for the Beta-Max or stop by the hardware store for a new sled have learned to check elsewhere for predictions a little more accurate. Kids at RCHS pop their heads inside study hall to inquire, “Mrs. Pendleton, how much are we going to get?” Teachers from the high school and friends who have gotten the word call the Pendleton home in Sperryville for news. It isn’t that Diane Pendleton or her husband Holly have secretely completed a course in meteorological studies or installed a weather station in the woods behind their home overlooking the village. They have a less scientific but no less accurate method—they check with Bert, the family dog. A labrador-shepherd cross somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 or 16 years old, ol’ Bert has been giving weather forecasts all his life. But only for snow. He doesn’t give a dog-gone about rain or hot spells. Just snow. I guess it’s because he loves the snow. He wants to ' be outside in it every minute, Diane Pendleton reported. Years ago, the canine Gordon Barnes wondered into the yard while Holly ?nd. vdrl ,er. lh the' Want to buy a bull? You can find him in the classified ads. *** Dog gone?

Knsti got all excited, thinking that the big black creature was a bear. “I was only three years old,” the slightly embarrassed and very grown up teenager insists today. Her dad kept an eye on the dog. He hung around for a few days, Holly took pity on the stranger, fed him and he was a stranger no more. He was the family dog. More than that, he became part of the family. “He’s so good with the children. He won’t let them rough house. He’s afraid they’ll hurt themselves. He gets in between them and sits on one of them to keep them separated,” Diane Pendleton said. “Bert’s a real homebody now. For years, he wouldn’t come in the house.” Mention of his name brought a thump, thump of the tail from the grizzled veteran stretched out across the dining room rug. “But now that he’s old and arthritic, he wants to stay inside. ” Except when he senses that it’s going to snow. “He’s always been able to tell. He acts just like a puppy. And it’s more noticeable now that he’s so old and creaky,” Diane reported. “He barks ail night. Let him outside and he rolls around on the ground. He jumps up and down and wants someone to play with him ALL THE TIME. The more active Bert is, the more snow we’re going to get. He’s never been wrong.” Last February, the storm that dumped 30 inches on the county caught most Rappahannock residents by surprise. Not so the Pendleton family. “The weather forecasters said we were going to get just a dusting but Bert was going absolutely insane! We knew. We made sure the kitchen shelves were stocked and we got all the wood up to the house. We were ready!” recalled Diane. Conversely, the Pendletons have been blase in the face of forecasts for heavy snows this winter. “Bert’s been calling for snow right along with the weatherman but the only difference is that he’s been telling us it wouldn’t be anything substantial.” And ol’ Bert, the bear, has been right on the flake every time.

Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16,1984 Good Decision We congratulate the new representative from Stonewall-Hawthorne District on his first independent action since joining the supervisors in January. Nelson Lane made an excellent choice in his nomination of Bill Oliver to the Rappahannock County School Board. Lane asked for suggestions from his constitutents and then he listened to those suggestions. From those who contacted the new supervisor, we hear again and again that Oliver’s name was at or near the top of their lists. A majority of our School Board members now have children in the county’s public schools. It’s about time. Parents with children in classes at the elementary school and high school can see first hand what their sons and daughters are learning by checking homework, reading book reports or simply discussing ideas at the dinner table. A majority of our School Board members now know and are known by the teachers at the two schools. The teachers see those parents at conferences, athletic events, school plays or just picking up their youngsters for a doctor’s or orthodontist’s appointment. This familiarity can only im prove relations between the staff and the policy setters. The same visits also give the School Board members first hand, continuing awareness of the adequacy of space in both buildings, the atmosphere in the schools, the relationship between students and teachers, between teachers and administrators. This too can only help to improve the educational programs here. In announcing his nomination, Lane pointed to strong bipartisan support behind Oliver’s appointment. That may qualify as the most understated description in the history of county politics. News of Oliver’s appointment had activist members of the Rappahannock County Education Association smiling broadly. The news also sparked a ringing endorsement from former School Board member Robert Eastham. That’s more than strong bipartisan support; that ranks as an almost miracle. If ever those two usually opposing sides can agree, then Bill Oliver’s appointment bodes well for the future of education in Rappahannock County. Again, we say congratulations on a good decision, Supervisor Lane. This Was The News In Bygone Rappahannock Times... 34YEARSAGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS The February 16, 1950 issue of the Rappahannock News reported that no decision had yet been reached on consolidating county schools. Approximately 400 people gathered at the Washington High School auditorium to hear a series of recommendations from school superintendent Q. D. Gasque, the school board and a special research committee. The plans called for four primary (Amissville, Washington, Flint Hill and Sperryville), three elementary (Washington, Flint Hill and Sperryville) and one high school at a cost in excess of $225,000. The committee had visited a 20 acre site on Route 211 in Sperry ville which was owned by the county. This was discussed as a possible site for the new consolidated high school. The committee said consolidation would offer a wider variety of curriculum; library, home economics, agriculture and additional science facilities and commercial departments. During comment by a number of citizens in attendance, C. W. Keyser was quoted as saying that what was needed was better teachers, not better buildings. In related news, the state changed Sperryville High School from the accredited list to certified. A high school employing at least three fulltime teachers and enrolling 50 or more students was classified as certified. Graduates from both types received equal consideration at colleges in Virginia. The pupils of Flint Hill Elementary School were planning to present a historic program over WFTR Radio on the lives of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Students participating in the program included Jimmy Lilian!, Galley Smith III, Lelia Gentry and Jimmy Yates. 25 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS At a meeting of the Rappahannock County School Board on February 11, 1969, it was disclosed 1 that the delay in starting construction on the new high school at Flatwood was due to the fact that the county would have to wait another ten months, at best estimates, before its $75,000 state literary fund loan could be paid. Application had been made over a year and a half before, but school superintendent Q. D. Gasque advised the board that heavy demands from all over the state meant Rappahannock must wait until funds were available. The Flint Hill rescue squad purchased a 1959 Plymouth station wagon (four door with fins) which it had converted into a fully equipped modem ambulance. Mary Jamieson wrote that Valentine’s Day fog, constant drizzle and heavy footing did not stop 40 hunters from following Rappahannock’s hounds. On that misty morning, horse vans and trailers from Manassas to Fredericksburg emerged out of the fog and rolled up the hill to Oliver Durant’s farm to deliver mounts for the largest field of riders to turn out that season. At least 50 foxhound-minded guests besides the hunters enjoyed the Valentine’s Day party at the Durant’s afterwards. The editor reported that Peola Mills was a town of great excitement and sorrow the Thursday before the February 19 edition was published. A dog belonging to Jim Fincham broke loose from a chain in the yard of the Fincham home and went to the farm of Harry Deal where it bit two hogs and a dog and later bit a dog belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jones. Six other dogs were also bitten and all had to be destroyed after the Fincham dog proved to be rabid. The Finchams had chained the dog after noticing that he was not well, the story concluded. The Washington Methodist Church was sponsoring a George Washington birthday dinner on February 20 at the Bromfield Parish Hall. The dinner was to be served cafeteria style at $1.25 per plate. Our Rappahannock Heritage rt'XotVv* i f ^\e^cTL. o'i8'^ >cf* sYA\v0^®ftCa.U0<v ^ \<v^eS lea^e^ .eCt ^° ^ S <® ■* s^J^et- *<* *v ** S>e V&Ss£ Kidwell Commended To the editor: I would like to commend the efforts and accomplishment of George Kid well, Sr. by providing cardiopulmo^ nary resuscitation (CPR) to Mrs. Jacobs’ on December 31 and thereby saving her life. Citizen CPR is a vital link in the emergency medical sendees system. To be effective, CPR should be a part of a community wide effort of emergency cardiac care (ECC) that smoothly intergrates basic life support (BLS) and advanced life support (ALS) and postresuscitation care for the patient. I would like to quote from the Journal of the American Medical Association publication on Standards and Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Emergency Cardiac Care (ECC). “Basic life support is that particular phase of ECC that either (1) prevents circulatory or respiratory arrest or insufficiency through prompt recognition and intervention, early entry into the EMS System, or both, or (2) externally supports the circulation and respiration of a victom of cardiac or respiratory arrest through CPR. Basic life support can and should be initiated by any trained person present when cardiac or respiratory arrest occurs. ‘Advanced cardiac life support includes basic cardiac life support plus use of adjunctive equipment (airways, oxygen therapy), cardiac monitoring, the establishment of an intravenous fluid lifeline, communications with a medical control physician, recognition of dysrhythmias, drug administration, defibrillation, transferring of the patient to a medical care facility and post-resuscitation care. “Successful treatment of the cardiac arrest victim is directly related to the rapidity with which effective cardiac action can be restored. Based on experiences with out-of-hospital cardiac emergencies, it is now clear that restoring adequate, spontaneous circulation at the scene is more likely to result in the victim’s survival than the most skillfully continued BCLS measures during transportation. Every effort must be made to treat and stabilize the patient at the scene within a reasonable amount of time.” I feel that a comment in last week’s letter to the editor was inappropriate in stating, “There would have been no time for the rescue squad to have been of service.” I believe we are all needed as a whole, the EMS Council, in which to correlate efforts and responsibilities, the citizens, the rescue squads and fire departments, the nurses, doctors and their assistants, for the EMS System to carry out its obligations. I would like to again commend Mr. Kidwell on a job well done. I ROBERT E. CLARK, JR.. Amissville “Outstanding” Article To the editor: On behalf of the student body and faculty, I wish to thank your newspaper and especially Michele May for the outstanding article about Prospect Heights Middle School published on Thursday, January 26, 1984. The article was well written and covered more completely our school program than any other article written on Prospect Heights. Yes, we are proud of our school and welcome visitors. We were pleased to have three teachers from Rappahannock visit us last year. Again, please accept our sincere thanks for the excellent article. PAUL N. COGAR Principal Support Appreciated To the editor I should like to thank the NUF organization for their timely concerns about persons needing fuel money for the remaining cold weather. At this time, I also wish to acknowledge the contributions I have received for these few families and the gratitude that they have expressed to me for this help. Again, our local Welfare Department wishes to thank our community in their continuing expressions of assistance and support in these crises. SYLVIA KREITLER, Welfare Director Helicopters On Maintenance Patrol Rappahannock residents who see a helicopter hovering over electric lines in this area shouldn’t be alarmed. It’s part of Potomac Edison’s preventative maintenance program for transmission and distribution lines to spot equipment that needs repair. “We’re looking for anything that might eventually cause a problem,” so we can dispatch a ground crew and repair it as quickly as possible,” said PE assistant division manager Harry G. Saufley. We think we have a superior record of electric reliability. This is one way to keep that record intact.” The helicopter, which carries a pilot and a PE observer noting and recording any problems, will patrol about 8,000 miles of line in the utility’s three-state service area before midyear. The helicopter patrol throughout the PE service area will cost about $97,000 but the cost of foot patrol would be considerably greater, according to Saufley. In addition, the helicopter can get within several feet of the line to spot potential problems that could not be detected easily from the ground, he noted. i —From Both BarrelsDalton Ponders Another Run By GEORGE BOWLES Former Gov. John N. Dalton’s supporters insist, and many of his Democratic opportents privately agree, that if he chooses to run for a second term as chief executive, his chances of being elected would lie somewhere between good and excellent. There is, needless to say, universal agreement among Republicans that if he enters the race, the top spot on the 1985 ticket will be his for the asking. But whether he will ask for it or not is the big question hanging over the GOP this winter. Upon his decision hinge the political plans, and perhaps the ultimate political futures, of a half-dozen of the state’s leading Republican politicians. Not all of these, of course, are interested in the gubernatorial nomination. Some, however, who have been eyeing the nomination for lieutenant governor and attorney general are aware that their chances will be profoundly affected by what Dalton decides to do. GOP leaders see him as their best chance of recapturing the Governor’s Mansion next year, and as the strongest leader of the GOP effort to win back the offices of lieutenant governor and attorney general wmcn were also lost in the Democratic sweep of 1981. Indeed, some Republican leaders will confide off the record that in their view, unless Dalton runs, a repetition of the 1981 Republican disaster may be in the making. Waiting in the wings for the former governor to make his decision are at least two gubernatorial hopefuls, both of whom say they would not contest Dalton for the nomination. They are former Del. Wyatt Durrette, who moved last year from Fairfax to Richmond in order to have a more central location in the state from which to base his campaign. The other is 8th District Congressman Stanford Parris of Fairfax. But Durrette has made two tries for attorney general and failed each time. In 1977 he was narrowly defeated for the party’s nomination by Marshall Coleman, who went on to win the general election. In 1981 Durette received the nomination, but was defeated in November by Democrat Gerald Baliles. As one Republican official put it, “A double defeat like that is not the world’s best basis on which to ask your party for its nomination for governor.” Pams has a better electoral record and is satisfactorily conservative. But outside of Republican activist circles, he is little known south of the Occoquan Creek, that physically narrow but philosophically oceanic body of water which separates Northern Virginia from the rest of the Commonwealth and — as it sometimes seems — from the rest of the world. Durrette says if Dalton runs he will seek the nomination for lieutenant governor, a post also coveted by Coleman and Del. A.R. “Pete" Giesen (R-Augusta) this time around. Thus far, Del. W.R. “Buster" O’Brien of Virginia Beach is the only potential candidate to voice an interest in the attorney general’s slot on the ticket. In view of all this, the pressure within the party is mounting on Dalton. Some of that pressure is reminiscent of the arguments which were used to coax former Gov. Mills Godwin to seek a second term in 1973. At that time Godwin was convinced by his supporters that only he could “save the world” from Henry Howell. Likewise, some of the same people are now trying to convince Dalton that it is his turn to “save the world.” According to their scenerio, Lt. Gov. Dick Davis is the likely winner of the Democratic gubernatorial nod. While they make no effort to tag Davis as a liberal of the Howell stripe, they are telling Dalton that the world needs saving from the liberal, labor and black Democratic Constituent groups who will bring about the Davis nomination and to whom he will be beholden. In the Republicans’ view, a liberal Democratic convention will choose Davis over the more conservative Gerald Baliles and Del. Richard Bagley of Hampton, the third man in the (at the moment) three-way race for the nomination. It should be added that the GOP theory’ of this outcome is not universally shared by more objective political observers around the state. It does, however, make a persuasive arguing point especially if Dalton is vulnerable to persuasion on the subject. But is he? He has already been governor once, and his place in the history of the Old Dominion is secure. He has apparently made an excellent recovery from surgery for lung cancer last year, but an experience like that can make one very selective about life’s priorities. He would have to abandon a private career which he clearly finds satisfying. And finally he would sacrifice income from all sources running into seven figures if he should serve four years as governor. Will he go for it? Logic suggests that he will not, and Dalton is a logical man. Still, a call to “save the world” can summon up all kinds of illogical loyalties. The answer, I suppose, will depend on the degree to which Dalton believes the world, as well as the Virginia GOP, is endangered. But when he has sized it all up, the admittedly iffy guess'here is that his answer will be “No.” Assembly Report By DEL.

Kids Jump For Heart Fund At least 225 Rappahannock elementary school pupils are learning the ropes for next week’s Jump Rope for Heart, scheduled from 912 Thursday and Friday in the elementary school gym. Organizer Teresa McLawhom, physical education teacher at the school, says this is the third year she has planned the popular event. Last year the rope jumping attracted nearly 200 children, McLawhom said, so many that she decided to break the group into two grade units this year. On Thursday pupils in grades 4-5 will participate, on Friday, grades 6-7. McLawhom said the gym is too small to accommodate so many children all at the same time and the event can’t wait for better weather since it coincides with the annual Heart Fund drive. Money raised goes for the American Heart Asso eiation. McLawhorn explained that the children have until their scheduled jumping day to turn in their pledge sheets. One boy, George Dunn, already had more than $200 promised so far, she said Monday. Students jump in teams of six, with sponsors pledging donations by the minute. Each kid can take time out, but “somebody has to be jumping the whole time” and the team keeps going three hours. That’s 180 minutes. Having pledged a penny a minute, the sponsor would owe $1.80. At 2? the sponsors pay $3.60, at 30, $5.40 and so on. Naturally the sponsors don’t pay until after the jump rope-a-thon is held and they see how long their team lasted. The kids have two weeks to collect afterwards. McLawhorn says the children are eligible for prizes depending on how mucn mey coueci. inese range from Jump Rope for Heart T-shirts to sweat suits for those collecting the most. Others may receive shorts, gym bags or windbreakers, McLawhorn added. McLawhorn said heart association volunteers would be soliciting local businesses for cookies or other food donations for the sustenance of the participants. Last year McDonald’s gave special drinking jugs to the children, she recalled. A poster contest is planned for next week at the elementary school in connection with the Jump Rope for Heart, McLawhorn added. Parents are welcome to watch the event. McLawhom said those wishing to stay and eat lunch should let their children know in advance so they can report their guests to the cafteria staff. Adult lunches cost $1.30. Whiz Kids Waiting For More Rappahannock’s Pop Quiz team takes on Rivershead High School on March 29 at 8:30 p.m. over WVPT-TV, Channel 51 in Harrisonburg. Faculty advisor Roger Flinchum says the local team will be waiting until the next to last game of the second round consisting of eight matches. The opponents were decided in a drawing last Thursday. It’s now narrowed down to eight teams for the statewide Pop Quiz Championship. Rappahannock buried Bath earlier this month, advancing into the next round with a 245-100 win. Panther team members had a harried feeling during the competition, though, due to gas fumes in the school bus that transported them to the television studio. “We re quested we be issued a new bus if possible,” Flinchum said a few days later about the next match. He has also located reserve automobiles, just in case. Flinchum says Rivershead beat Highland County “convincingly” this year. “They’re a good team,” he said, “but we did very well last time considering our misfortunes,” (being broken down and gassed on the bus.) Last year Rappahannock beat Rivershead, Flinchum recalls. “We clocked them nicely last year. We beat, them in the first round when nobody thought we could do it.” Rivershead is a little larger school than Rappahannock, Flinchum says, with a student body of 650 comnared to annmximat.elv 425 here. It’s located in Augusta County near Staunton. The Rappahannock/ Rivershead confrontation takes place during the second of five rounds in the televised Pop Quiz championship. Flinchum says Rappahannock’s foursome made it to the third round quarter-finals last year, a record they hope to beat this year. Towards that objective, they were practicing on the Rappahannock Citizens For Quality Education (popularly known as Barney O’Meara’s citizen’s group) last week. They beat the adults, but by less than 50 points. More matches lay in store. The team members are Captain Ann Oliver, Cheryl Achison, Will Oliver and Jonathan Watson. Volunteer Effort Pays For Uniforms Peggy Woodward says she and another mother, Mrs. Melvin Jordan of Huntly, spent just three days raising the money for new basketball uniforms for the RCHS girls’ team. A lot of parents had spoken with the athletic director John Toth about replacing the old junior varsity uniforms, Woodward says, but the money wasn’t in the budget. Still, everyone agreed the junior varsity uniforms had seen too many games. “A lot of parents wouldn’t let their girls wear the uniforms because they were so small. I was one of those parents," said Woodward. She and Jordan decided something had to be done. They solicited all the local businesses, Jordan covering the Flint Hill area and Woodward handling Sperryville and Washington.

In turn Toth commended Clater for his interest in school athletics. Clater also established a Best Athlete Award fund last May and plans to contribute enough in the spring to buy a trophy to begin honoring outstanding athletes at the high school this year according to Toth. The current balance in the award fund is $258.21, Toth added. “This is all coming at a time when the athletic budget is lower than it’s been since I'Ve been athletic director,” Toth said, pointing out that attendance has been down for home games.

Paying officials takes an increasingly bigger bit out of the sports budget, Toth continued. It costs approximately $?5 per game for baseball officials, $105-$120 for basketball, he said. “Our money can’t be better spent than on our young people, but it’s kind of frustrating when so much of it goes for officials—who deserve it, of course,” he added. Sports equipment is also expensive. As one example Toth pointed to a basketball which was purchased IV2 years ago. The one basketball cost $72, he said. The 15 new girls’ basketball uniforms cost approximately $450, Toth said. The new basketball suits will go to the varsity team. The old varsity uniforms will be passed down to the junior varsity, Toth said.

Sharpshootin’ Panthers Do wit Bull Run District Leaders ! By jim McCullough Rawatianmck Nm Sport* K*port»r Rappahannock’s Panthers downed the first place team in the district, the Generals from Stonewall Jackson, last Tuesday night in an incredible display of shooting accuracy. The Panthers caught fire and shot fire as they connected on 18 of 25 free throw attempts (72 percent) and 24 of 39 tries from the field (61 percent). But even more impressive than that the team statistics were the performances of three individual players: Clarence Pendleton, Jeff Porter and Tom Sisk. Pendleton led the shooting barrage with 22 points, eight of ten from the field and a perfect six for six from the foul line. Porter was right on his heels with 14 points, six of nine from the field and another perfect I record at the line, hitting both of his two attempts. Sisk swished a perfect four of four from the field and connected on five of six from the charity stripe for a total of 13 points. The 66-65 victory looked Closer than it actually was. The g^m frill of Panther fans never doubted that their home team would end up on top, even when last second heroics pulled the visitors within one. The first quarter ended with a shakey RCHS squad in front, 16-15, on a buzzer shot by Pendleton. Inconsistency again plagued the Panthers in the second period as the Generals crept ahead by as many as five. “Inconsistency is what’s caused our loses this season,” complained coach Doyle Dawson. “If we expect to improve, we have to eliminate this.” But the half gallery one Fair Oaks Mall 352-1485 835.

The Panthers outscored the Generals, 17-12, in the third, stretching the margin to six, 48-42. Then, apparently believing the game was over—or at least in the bag—they relaxed. The Generals came back to tie it JV On A Streak Rappahannock s JV Panthers are on a roll, winning their last three games with relative ease. The first to fall were the Stonewall Generals. Stonewall's defense crumbled in last Tuesday’s home contest as coach Gregg Waters went deep into his bench to discover new talent in substitute Devin Moore. On Friday against the Rams, the Junior Panthers won again, 46-38, as Moore came off the bench to come on strong. It was another win on Monday over Luray. Utilizing the fast break, the Panthers broke the Bulldogs early. They built their advantage to 13 points, 37-24* by the fourth quarter, prompting coach Waters to clear his bench. It proved to be a little too early for Strasburg Gets Revenge ■And How! On January 6, the Rappahannock Panthers upset the Stjasbuig Rams,, then undefeated, ranked first in Bull Run and fourth among the state’s “A” schools. The Rams wanted revenge and they got it last Friday night in a rematch on their home court where they manhandled and embarrassed Rappahannock in a 73-42 rout. The Panthers could do little right.

But the home team recovered before it wa| too late. Pendleton scored from the field while Sisk and kike DelGrosso combined for five points from the foul line to shut the door. With his team ahead 66-61 and just a few seconds on the clock, pawson ordered a “no foul* defense. The strategy allowed the Generals to creep closer but only so close as the buzzer sounded with Rapp in front by one. mercy, however, as a firedup Luray team pulled back to within one. Confident in his bench, Waters kept the substitutes on the floor until the final minutes when he returned his starters to the court in time to salvage a 43-42 victory. The buzzer lopped off two additional points of breathing space for Rappahannock. Craig Williams let a “hail Mary” shot fly from half court—and it fell through the net. But time had expired by j ust a half second so the margin stayed at one. almost at the opening tap and stayed in that spot for the entire game. And just as surely as the visitors eould do no right, the home team could do little wrong. Capitalizing on Rapp’s mistakes, they jumped in front, 20-13, at the first quarter. To give the losers their due, the Panthers were working under a handicap. Jeff Porter and Rob Brown were at half strength with ankle injuries sustained in the thriller against Stonewall Jackson three days earlier. Ken Estes, coming off a back ipjury that has kept him on the bench most of the season, played—but not near 100 percent. But even a Panther squad at full capacity probably wouldn’t have made much difference. Strasburg attacked in, so many ways—all successfully, digging deep into the bench to get scoring from 10 of the players on their 12 man roster. On the other side, the almost non-existent Panther offense lost the ball repeatedly up and down the court, forced bad shots and passed Clarence Pendleton - high scorer - Jeff Porter - perfect free throws up the open ones to help dig their own grave. By half time, the Rams were already beginning funeral prep' arations as they went into the locker room with a comfortable 32-22 lead. The fans told themselves miracles can happen; our boys can come back! But they didn’t. The Panthers continued to make the same mistakes and by the end of the third period, the Rams were up by 16, 46-30. And they weren’t finished. Strasburg didn’t want just revenge. They wanted complete, soul satisfying, humiliating revenge. They got it, more than doubling Rappahannock's fourth quarter point output, 26-12. But the Rams’ accuracy wasn’t the key to the loss. They wouldn’t have had the opportunity to shoot the ball again and again and again if the Panthers hadn’t turned the ball over again and again and again. Thirty-five times in all, high for the season— maybe a high (or should that be low?) for any Panther team m any season. “With 36 turnovers, we SPERSY^NEW 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 PI** your order with Wayne or Jimmy New Holland-Culpeper 790 James Madison Highway (703)825-0188 First Non-District Win Sisk Has Hot Hand In Victory Over Luray By JIM McCULI^UGH The Panthers got back on the winning track at home Monday night, going head to head with a familiar race as they downed Jim Logan’s Luray Bulldogs. Playing against the former RCHS coach gave the Panthers the incentive they needed to muzzle the Bulldogs. The visitors took it to the Panthers early. After Tom Sisk gave Rapp its only first quarter lead with a flurry of outside jumpers, the Bulldogs picked away at the Panthers’ defense, directed by Logan who used his knowledge of the RCHS players. Rappahannock’s trig men had trouble working the ball through the Orange circle and at the other end of the court, they were being caught flatfooted. The combination gave Luray an 8-18 lead at the end of the first quarter. The fans in the bleachers were quiet. After the visitors upped the lead to 20-8, the RCHS boys decided they’d had enough. They erupted with eight unanswered points, leaving the Bulldogs shellshocked with a lead cut to four. The fans began to stir. Clarence Perkins penetrated, laying the ball through the hoop with a fin couldn’t have beaten Strasburg’s eighth grade team, much less their varsity,” coach Doyle Dawson noted.!

Ken Estes, playing closer to his usual form after being sidelined for most of the season with injuries, stole the ball. The score was tied. Then Sisk put RCHS in front for the first time with a one handed, behind-thebackboard shot that touched nothing but net. And the fens went wild. Both teams hit in spurts for the remainder of the half which ended with Luray on top by one, 30-31. That was it for Luray. The Panthers came out of the lockerroom with their second wind. They quickly claimed the lead and stretched it, sparked by Ken Estes’ hustle. “It was Ken’s defense off the bench that was the turning point in the game,” said coach Doyle Dawson. On the offensive end, Sisk took cqmmand, playing by fer his best offensive game of the year and scoring a season high 29 points. Three came from an electrifying behind-the-back lay-up and the following foul that the Bulldogs committed in an unsuccessful attempt to stop the big center. ' Mike DelGrosso tossed in two at the end of the third quarter, the only points from the Panther bench in the contest, to give the home town boys their biggest lead, 55-43. Logan then regrouped his squad and demonstrated why he has the respect of players on both teams. Under his close control, the Bulldogs battled back and made a squeeker out of a game that most of the spectators had already written in the win column for the Panthers. With less than a minute left, the score was tied at 73 all. Clarence Pendleton penetrated inside but the ball wouldn’t fall. However, Tommy Jenkins was in position to follow through. In addition, he was fouled and converted to make it a three point play, putting the Panthers up by three, 76-73, with 14 seconds showing. The Bulldogs zipped down court, drawing a foul that brought displeasure from an irate coach Dawson. Hut luck was on the RCHS side as the boy at the line missed both shots. At the other end, Sisk and Jenkins sank three free throws to push RCHS a little further in front, 79-75, at the buzzer. Everybody was smiling after the victory but despite his gnn, Dawson was worried. His defense continues to be vulnerable, the lowest point total they’ve given up all year a high as.

Girls’ Volleyball Rotation Mistake Cost A Victory By jim McCullough Rappahannock Ncwi Sport* Reporter Rappahannock’s girls’ volleyball team continued to be plagued by bad breaks as they lost their closest match of the season last Thursday against Stonewall Jackson. Rapp won the first set by an impressive 15-3 margin. Julie Burke got the Panthers rolling as she netted five points. By the time rotation had returned her to the serving position, the home squad had a comfortable 113 lead. Two prolonged volleys upped that to 13-3. Burke served again. The ball was returned but Anne Tupper spiked it to put the Panthers on game point, 14 3. Then when the ball came back over the net, Tupper spiked it again for the win. But the punch went out of the home team in the second set as they lost by almost as much as they’d won the first, 15-4. The girls looked rattled as their lines of communication broke down. It wasn’t until Connie Compton walked to the server’s comer in the third that the Lady Panthers regained their poise. Faced with a six point deficit, Compton’s power serves brought RCHS back into the game with a nine all tie. But her final attempt to put Rapp ahead hit outside the end line. The Generals scored one before losing the offensive position to Rappahannock. Things looked bright as Karen Jordan, one of RCHS’s ace servers, stepped to the line. Jordan scored with her first shot and the spectators could feel confidence and momentum swing to the Panthers’ side. But the referee stepped in to announce that Jordan had served out of order. The Panthers lost the point and the ball — and their spirit. Dejected, they allowed Stonewall to chalk up five easy points, giving the visitors the set, 9-15, and the match, 1-2.

Point-To-Point Set For March 3 If it s time for the Kappahannock Hunt’s point-topoint races, can spring be far behind? Plans are moving from a trot into a gallop for the annual event that signals the upcoming return of warmer temperatures. In Rappahannock, the first harbinger of spring is not the sighting of the robin but rather a glimpse of crews rebuilding the jumps at the Thornton Hill Farm course on Route 522 between Woodville and Sperryville. And according to race committee chairman Dave Carter, that work has already begun. The races are set to go off on Saturday, March 3, beginning with the pairs’ race at 10:30. The card includes eight steeplechases and the famous Rappahannock hound race, the only one of its kind on the pointto-point circuit. The footing on the Thornton Hill course is “spotty nght now, according to Carter. “But with good weather, it should be excellent by race day,” he added, noting that the course is laid out on a sunny, well drained southern slope. “There have been very few times that the footing’s been treacherous unless we’ve had rain or ice the day before,” he said. Last year,, balmy temperatures in the 60s drew a crowd of 5,000 plus. “That’s a hard act to follow,” said Carter of the attendance figure that nearly equaled the county’s population. “We’re anticipating a good crowd again this year,” he said, noting that the full card of racing plus the opportunity for picnicking and enjoying Rappahannock’s beautiful mountain scenery promise a full day of fun for the entire family.

On Tuesday, the JV Hooters dropped their closest contest to date to a well disciplined Woodberry Forest team. The first half was a see-saw battle, with the sharp shooting of Brian Dotzler and Jordan Bentley and strong rebounding of Louis Poove keeping the young Tigers at bay. In the second half, however, the more experienced squad from Wood berry pulled away. Wednesday afternoon found both varsity and JV teams in Maryland facing the St. James Saints. After a runaway victory for the host JV squad in the opening contest, the varsity opponents took the floor. The taller, stronger St. James team proved too tough. Wakefield’s starting center and co-captain John Piper was out with the flu and his presence wras missed at both ends of the court. Russell Rowzie led the Owls in scoring and David Fawcett led in rebounding in the losing effort. On Saturday, the Wakefield squad found that hav ing to attend school for even part of their half-day makeup was an ill omen. The two teams travelled to military school powerhouse Fork Union for a look at an established athletic program. Although both the JV and varsity Owls were outmanned in every respect, they never gave up and, most importantly, enjoyed themselves thoroughly. The home teams from Fork Union controlled each contest from the tip-off yet remained levelheaded and polite to their outclassed guests throughout the aftemoon.The Owls gained valuable experience against the best teams they have played to date this season and headed home with full stomachs after a generous post-game meal provided by their hosts. Jordan Bentley and Brian Dotzler led the J V effort while Russell Rowzie and Paul Lackman paced th( varsity. This week the JV team travels to Dyke, Virginia, to play Blue Ridge School on Thursday and both teams head to Manassas to do bat tie with Seton on Friday. The latter games will be followed by a traditional post game meal at the Chesapeake Seafood House. 44W*' T)»en. IX**1 B»*"* 5JSW"' Wk MAGIC* AUTOMATIC MAKER Witt purchase Whiflp<K)l C?

Rappahannock Journal •Farm •Business •Garden •Rural Life Eggs-asperating Egg Prices Seen By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock Sava SUIT Writer A coupon in a recent Fauquier Democrat advertised large grade A at 59 cents a dozen, but by Saturday, the display in the Warrenton A&P looked as though a cyclone had hit a hen house. A few cracked shells on the top shelf, several cartons of 2'A dozen in a different size at the bottom, and miles and miles of open space. In Culpeper and Front Royal people were paying close to $1.50 for a dozen large eggs and either liking it or doing without. Country corner stores in Rappahannock found they weren’t so far apart from the supermarkets. Skippy Giles at the Washington Cash Store says eggs are $1.44 a dozen there. He hasn’t noticed any increase in local business, he says, he just knows “they’re high priced.” Even though his price was within cents of that at the larger stores, he said last week his price had risen from $1.09 in Vh months. Randolph Clater at the Sperryville Corner Store says he has the “everyday cheap price” of $1.39 dozen. Clater says he hasn’t added on the last three raises or his eggs would be about 10 cents a dozen more. At Settle’s in Flint Hill, eggs are still $1.45 and Tammy points out that the Rappahannock News Pho«o/M. May Eggs—an increasingly precious commodity. store stocks fresh country ungraded eggs from Mariam Harris’s farm at Huntly as well as supermarket type Grade A. Harris’s eggs are also available occasionally at Nature’s Foods in Washington at $1.35 a dozen. U. S. Department of Agriculture economist and poultry specialist Allen Baker was quoted in the Washington Post early this month as saying wholesale prices nationwide had doubled during the past year. Large Grade A eggs sold in New. York had climbed to $1.15 a dozen last month compared to 62.7 cents in January, 1983. Baker said it was the highest increase since 1964 when the department started indexing egg prices. United Egg Producers spokesman Ken Klippen told reporters that retail prices, could climb to $2 a dozen during the next several months if avian influenza continues to reduce the number of laying hens. About six million laying chickens have been destroyed due to the flu, reducing the nation’s number of egg producing hens by about 2.5 percent. A number of eggs have been destroyed to prevent further spread of avian flu, thus further diminishing the supply. Virginia Department of Agriculture officials say the avian flu has been the single most devastating factor leading to higher egg prices. In accordance with the law of supply and demand, they say, egg prices have risen simply because there are fewer eggs available while customer demand has remained steady. Klippen added that this disease has struck during a time when poultry farmers are also on the decline. During the past three years, egg prices had fell to such a point that farmers had gone out of the business to the tune of approximately 3,800 egg farmers in America today compared to 6,000 in 1980. The record-low temperatures this winter have also helped contribute to recordhigh egg prices, Klippen said. Especially in the South where most henhouses are unheated, each hen lays fewer eggs. The storms also delay delivery from farms in other parts of the country as transportation is disrupted. Klippen further pointed to last spring’s rise in grain prices which contributed to a cutback in the number of laying chickens being produced. Marketing experts at the Virginia Department of Agriculture point out that this high price of feed is directly responsible for the escalation of egg prices. The more expensive feed caused by last year’s sunburned crops means less feed for hens. When their rations are cut back, hens don’t lay as many eggs. State Department of Agriculture officials point out that eggs are subject to cycles of good times and bad in supply and demand just as other animal or plant farm products are. Although consumers have come to count on fairly steady egg prices in recent years, marketing experts say today’s higher prices shouldn’t discourage homemakers from buying eggs. Eggs are still the most thrifty protein source there is, says VDACS marketing specialist Susan Wiley. —R*pp«hiiinock New* Photo/D Hutchinson TROY STEELE, new deputy with the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department. _ News Staffers Win Awards Daphne Hutchinson, editor and eeneral manager of the Rappahannock News, and Teresa Reynolds, former reporter for the newspaper, recently won photographic awards from the Virginia Press Association.

Her winning article, “Flint Hill Horse Story Has Fairy Tale Ending,” was an account of Patty Alexander’s endurance mare D’ Arcy’s recovery from a broken leg after innovative surgery. ^ Happy Birthday, )B«orga! > Extension News____ VPI’s Dr. Ike Eller Offers Important Tips By BIRGITT THORNHILL Extension Agent February, March and April are the months when more of the calves in commercial herds in Virginia are bom than any other period in the year. Records show that Virginia producers tend to lose five to eight percent of the calves that are bom and most of them are lost in the first few days after they are bom. Many are lost at calving time. Eller suggests that farmers sort cows that are close to calving away from the rest of the herd at least once a week so they can be closely watched. It is particularly important to give those first-calf heifers assistance if they are having calving difficulty. In fact, helping a firstcalf heifer, even if she may not need it, can be paying proposition in terms of getting that heifer bred back on schedule. Heifers that go through a prolonged labor period tend to come back into heat much later after calving than those that calve readily. Keep calves out of the filth and mud. If they can be calved away from the bams Market Keport At the Front Royal Livestock Exchange, the following prices were reported at the February 9 auction: Hogs: US 1-3 200-250 pounds, 47.50-56. Slaughter Cattle: Cows: HD cut & brk UT 1- 3, 42-45.25; utility & comm 2- 4, 36-41.50; canner & cutter 1-3, 27-33; “extremely ' * high yielding”, 46-49.50. Stock Cows: Baby calves: one at 65. Feeder Cattle: Steers: medium & large #1, 5-700 pounds, 63.50-66. Heifers: medium & large #1, 3-500 pounds, 51.50-56; 5-700 pounds, 49.50-51.75; small #1 & medium & large #2, 3-500 pounds, 42.5049.75. Bulls: medium & large #1, 3-500 pounds, 63-68.50; 5-70Q pounds, 60-63.25; small #1 & medium & large #2,3-500 pounds, 52-57.50. on clean sod, most problems with scours will be averted. When calves are bom is the best time to tag each calf and write down the tag number and mother’s number in a calving book. Each babv ?alf should be given a shot of Vitamin A, I) and E and it is lot a bad idea to give them a shot of selenium. In most ■ases the newborn calf should get an innoculation with 7-way clostridial. If there is any chance for naval infection, the naval :'ord ought to be clipped in full strength iodine. For waives that are weak or .■hilled and fail to nurse, it is smart to get some colostrum milk from the calfs mother ir bring a jar of colostrum :hat has been frozen out of ;he freezer and get it down Jiat newborn calf in the first few hours of life. Use an esophagael feeder. The same esophagael feeder is inexpensive and also can be used for getting an electroylte solution in calves that may be scoured or for other reasons become dehydrated. There are several good electrolyte solutions that can be mixed with warm water for this purpose that are available commercially. For a sick, dehydrated calf, milk is not what he needs. He needs fluid and electrolytes. It is a good idea to buy some electrolyte material that is available and have it on hand. Producers who don’t have that esophagael feeder should get out and buy one before they need it and then hope that they never will need it. Magnesium to Prevent Grass Tetany Peak grass tetany season arrives in late winter and early spring. Cow-calf operators need to be sure that a steady source of magnesium is available to their cows through this critical period. Mixtures of magnesium oxide and salt on a one-toone basis will do the job. A more palatable mixture is one made of equal parts magnesium oxide, trace mineralized salt, dicalcium phosphate and some palatable feed such as soybean or cottonseed meal or even finely ground shelled com. Provide on a free choice basis whether one of the homemade mixtures above or a commercial mixture containing magnesium is used. How George’s Friends Would Have Planned His Party me jiauenng distinction paid to the anniversary of my birthday is an honor for which I dare not attempt to express my gratitude. I confide in your Excellency’s sensibility to interpret my feelings for this, and for the obliging manner in which you are pleased to announce this.” „ —George Washington to Compte de Rochambeau, February 24,1781. All this fuss about cherry pie on Presidents^ Day may help the Traverse City cherry industry in Michigan, but really has little to do with the way George Washington ate in Virginia. He generally dined on the food of the time: ham biscuits, kidney pie, chicken patties, pork cutlets, honeyglazed onions, fricasseed French style green beans, spinach salad and stewed cabbage. Dessert was fruit and cheese served with a silver beaker of Madeira. Jefferson’s Gift “These are hampers containing samples of the best wines of this country, which l beg leave to present to the President and yourself, in order that you may decide whether you would wish to have any, and which of them for your own tables hereafter, and to offer my service in procuring them for you.” —Thomas Jefferson writing from Paris in 1789 describing to Secretary of State John Jay the wine hf was sending for President Washington to serve at State functions. The first five presidents, all Virginians except John Adams, liked to linger over a fine wine at dessert when company came to help celebrate. As premier connoisseur, Jefferson was the first official White House wine advisor. He cultivated and enjoyed his role of selecting the right wine for each social occasion during the first five administrations. He tasted and tested 200 different types of wines. Jefferson made two important contributions to the manner in which birthday parties are traditionally celebrated in America today. He introduced the Italian idea of ice cream, a new luxury which quickly became a food fad during his presi aency. He also made it possible to bake the birthday cake as we know it today by bringing the vanilla bean from France in 1789. Colonial Cakes “Mamma made six mince pies and seven custards, twelve tarts, one chicking pie and four puddings for the ball."—Sdlljr* Fairfax in her 1771 diary. Baking a cake during colonial times was a day-long project. If Martha made one of her famous currant cakes for George’s birthday or if Dolly Madison baked one of her whimsical rose-water flavored confections, the ordeal was a real labor of love. Sugar was imported from the West Indies in hard blocks weighing about ten pounds each. The housewife had to break off hunks of the costly substance and pound it in a mortar to pulverize it before it could be sifted. Whole spices also wrere powdered by putting them :hrough the mortar. Cakes in those days had the virtue of being kept indefinitely. Old Virginia cookbooks praised “little alum cakes to last long” or Diack cake that will last a year.” When unexpected guests arrived there was no time to whip up something quick from a mix. Plantation Parties Travel was not a speedy process during colonial times, either. And so guests came prepared to stay seve"f&TdayS at the long southern house parties. Washington enjoyed hosting house parties or barbecues at Mount Vernon. He was known as an emotional man, dropping all formality of the presidency when in the midst of friends. He especially enjoyed playing cards and dancing. Friend Jefferson was happy and able to assist in the entertainments by keeping his violin and harpsichord well rehearsed in the minutes of the period. In fact, George Washington really was “first in the hearts of his country men,” but the large, convivial man Madison and Monroe saw over'a glass of Madeira was as far from the unfinished Gilbert Stuart portrait in Boston as rose-water cake is from cherry pie.

General District Court Calibration Day Occurs In Court By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock N«wi SUIT Writer Charges against John Allen Shanahan were reducec from speeding (67/55) to defective equipment after he brought calibrations to court on January 31 showing that his speedometer was malfunctioning. General District Court Judge John Alexander fined Shanahan $15 and ordered him to pay $20 in court costs. He also agreed to nolle prosse DWI (driving while intoxicated) charges arising from the same incident. The blood test had returned negative. Then commonwealth's attorney Peter Luke pointed out that Shanahan had appeared in court on several previous occasions with calibrations on the same speedometer. “Well, why don’t you get it fixed?” asked the judge. Shanahan responded that he was planning to sell the car and hadn’t had the money for the repairs. Shanahan had previously speeding convictions. Alexander noted, and he could expect a letter from the Division of Motor Vehicles asking him to show cause why his license shouldn’t be revoked. But since the judgment was already entered, Alexander said he would let this latest sentence stand. Other cases on that day’s docket included: Criminal Division: Elmer Elwood Dyer, DIP, $15/$2o. Larrv Mann. DIP, $10/$20. Irvin Jenkins, Threaten bodily harm, complaint brought by Ivan Deal, neither party present in court, rule issued against both. David Vientos, littering, $25/$25.

February 7 During criminal division court hearings Judge Alexander dismissed charges against Irvin Jenkins and Ivan Deal in a December 17 incident. Deal had accused Jenkins of threatening him with bodily harm, but when neither party showed up in court on their January 31 appointed day, the judge issued a show cause against both the accuser and the accused. Upon recommendation from Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, the case was dismissed the next week. Traffic Division: During the February 7 session, the following traffic related sentences were imposed: Deane Michael Coffey, expired inspection, $25/$25. John Daniel Eason, 70/55, $30/$25. Albert Lee Glover, no inspection, $15/$20. Steven Joseph Lann, expired inspection, $15/$25. Deborah Louise Page, 74/55, $38/$25. Hamilton B. Scott, noncompliance with VASAP, ASAP revoked, restricted operator’s license revoked. Carolym Lou Beahm, expired inspection, $10/$20. George William Pullen, no county sticker, $15/$25. Ricky L. Settle, expired inspection. $10/$20. January 24 Several drivers were relieved to have their charges reduced during the January 24 session of General District Court. Some presented calibrations as proof, others successfully argued that their speedometers weren’t properly working when the police pulled them over. Joseph Pullen got his case postponed when he said the weather had prevented the mechanics from checking his. The electronic equipment for calibration of speedometers is damaged if it’s used on a wet day, Pullen told the judge. His case was postponed until Valentine’s Day. “Hope we have a dry day before then,” he said. “Hope we have a few,” said the judge. Other cases disposed of during the day's docket were: Andrew Wallace Brown, (>5/55, $20/$20. Magellan Burgess, 70/55, $30/$20. Andrew Mark Crane, expired inspection, $10/$20.

Parents were able to pick them up there by 2:15. “Spring” Sunday Who would have believed that only last Sunday it seemed like spring? Here and then one could notice a crocus poking through the ground. The poor plant was deceived by the warm weather and would probably be frozen before the actual equinox occurred. Wingfield says it hit 61 degrees in Sperryville. “That old jet stream brought it up from the south and let it stay without mixing with the cold,” he said, noting that it’s been a warmer February this year. During the first 13 days of this month, it has averaged 3.6 degrees warmer than during February of 1983, he said. Last year it was March 3 before it Potholes(Continued from Page 1 ) the traditional time at which local highway workers look back over the storms of winter and say, “Whew, glad that’s over.” “We figure March 12. We can breathe easy after March 12. We’ve had no significant storms that I know of after that date,” the resident engineer reported. But he stressed "significant” and was quick to note that the area has been frequently spared with several very, very near misses. “In 1971, we had eight inches of snow on Paris Mountain (in Fauquier County) on April 1 — April 1! Right down from the mountain in Upperville and everywhere else in the residency, it was rain.” He noted that the winter of 1983-84 has been hard on everybody, highway crews and the general public alike. “I think everybody’s ready for the robins,” Askew concluded. was as warm as it was last r Sunday, he added. On that £ date it was 64 degrees in { Sperryville. ( Sunday it was 63 degrees ( at National, according to the Washington Post. That was s reported as only four de- \ grees below the all-time re- , cord for that date. £ But then colliding fronts t also brought the fog over the t weekend. It hit D.C. on Saturday when a moist warm front moving from the southwest hit the cool coastal air. The fog brought a travelers’ advisory on Sunday morning. Visibility fell below the 1,600 foot minimum. Landings were cancelled and flights delayed in Washington, Baltimore and New York, according to the Post. On Monday, the disruption continued even interfering locally with the Piedmont schedules. The National Weather Service forecast rain for Monday night. It was expected to wash away the fog. Washing the roads away and the houses away was another story. Nobody wanted so much rain.
