When some of these people were unable to find work there was a rise in the unemployment rate in Orange and Madison. However, Rappahannock remained one of the better working climates in the five county area, bettered only by Fauquier. In Fauquier the unemployment rate for February was 3.7 patent. In Rappahannock, it was 5.5 percent. Progressively the rate was six percent in Culpeper, 6.6 percent in Orange and 6.7 percent in Madison. These figures compare to a state average of 5.4 percent for February, 8.4 percent nationally. The Culpeper office also reported there were 1,540 unemployment insurance recipients in March compared to 3,160 during the same month last year.

Latham. The supervisors plan to meet with the School Board in the high school library following the board’s regular meeting next Tuesday, April 10, which will be held there instead of the usual meeting site in the elementary school library. The work session is expected to begin around 9 p.m. Then on Tuesday, April 17, the supervisors will sit down in a second work session with county accountant Wally Cox in the courthouse at 7:30 p.m. The public hearing on the 1964-86 school budget will be Monday, April 23, at 7:30 p.m. in the elementary school auditorium. "Where we have the space if we need it," said Supervisor Hubert Gilkey. Finally, the school budget is scheduled to be adopted at a meeting set for April 80 at 10 a.m. in the eourthouse. —Kiypofumnock Mew> Photo/P.

There was one hitch to the guarantee, however. First supervisor Hubert Gilkey, a contactor, is to discuss with the architect the possibility of added a slight pitch to the repaired roof to improve.water drainage and then he must okay plans for repairs after an inspection of the roof. “I'm not going to vote for this unless (Supervisor Gilkey) checks it and approves it. . . If he approves it, I’m for it. If he doesn’t, I’m against it. I have confidence that Mr. Gilkey will protect the Board of Supervisors’ and the county’s interest in this,” announced Charles “Pete” Estes, winning unanimous endorsement for his proposal from the rest of the board. superintendent ttooert Estabrook explained that when the current school budget was being developed, the School Board believed that only the roof over the gymnasium and cafeteria would have to be be repaired this fiscal year. However, it was discovered a month ago that leaks in the north wing roof would have to be fixed immediately, he said. Estabrook added that prujcvi xUKi crocuurou xiwbr* tofcjop an emeigenfiy, eliminating the need to comply with the bidding process set in Virginia’s Public Procurement Act. Payment for the emergency work won’t be due until after July 1, the superintendent continued, but since the School Board does not have money in its current budget to cover the additional work, the supervisors must authorize the repair contract, in effect guaranteeing that the $27,760 will be there when the bills arrive. “Is there any warranty?” asked Estes. “Only on materials (for 10 years),” Estabrook replied. “I don’t think we can buy the guarantee we all would prefer.” “Will the roof have the proper slope when it’s finished?” questioned the supervisor from Piedmont , District. “It won’t have any slope,” said the superintendent, explaining that the repair project involves replacing insulation and adding a membrane over the existing roof. Baughan and Baukhages, the architectural firm handling the work, has used this membrane material for the past five years, Estabrook said. No Choice Classrooms in the north wing of the elementary school have as many as 15 cans and buckets in each, spaced to catch dripping water. Portions of the ceiling tiles have been removed in at least three classrroms. Tiles in other rooms, in the hall and in the library are stained dark brown by the water mixed with insulation. Drips fall onto light fixtures and filing cabinets full of supplies and trickle down walls before pooling into puddles on the floor. Over all is the smell of rotting insulation only partially covered by disinfectant. The unpleasant odors, reminiscent of a vetemarian’s office, hit visitors as soon as they come through the front Teachers express concern over the safety of cMP' dren and wonder who incurs liability, should an accident occur. They also report youngsters coming down with headaches allegedly caused by the sometimes overpowering smells in the classroom. HI don’t think we have a choice but to fix this thing,” said Supervisor Chairman J.R. Latham, who recently toured the elementary school with the School Board. “The thing that concerns us is that it stays fixed.” Estabrook said he had found after checking with other school divisions facing the same problems with leaky roofs that “unfortunately, there’s no totally satisfactory answer to flat roofs.” Addressing the option of adding a sloped roof at the elementary school, the superintendent reported that, according to the architects, „ the building doesnot have the structural capability to withstand the extra weight. “Also a pitched roof would be considerably more expensive,” he said. Supervisor Nelson Lane asked if the pitch could be raised enough for water to drain off by packing the ceiling with insulation or blowing in styrofoam under the repair membrane. “An inch rise for 20 feet would get that water off there. After a rain, the water just stands,” Estes added. “My understanding is that the original roof had a slight incline. . . That capability was built in,” Estabrook countered. “It may have settled,” replied Gilkey. superintendent noted that insulation under the roof has become totally saturated with water, causing it to sag from underneath, The resulting depressions in the roof — rather than the original flat design — may be the cause accumulating on thfMrbet. .brook said.. . in He stressed that the contact price of $27,760 covered just new insulation and the membrane, not raising the pitch of the roof. “If we ask for slope, we may be increasing the cost considerably,” Estabrook cautioned. “I wouldn’t object to $35,000 (for the repaired (Continued on Page 16) Trailer Definition Questioned By MICHELE MAY Rawahannorfc N«wi SUIT WriUr Is a trailer still a trailer vhen it’s on a permanent oundation?

In addition to needing a variance to zoning ordinance requirements on setback distance, the application requires a variance to the restriction against building in flood plain and a special use permit for a church in an agricultural zone. Reverend John K. Burke, Jr. explained to the board that the church is seeking to erect a separate building. “We don’t want to put a lot of money in it,” he said, “but we want something decent, too, something good to look at when you come down the road.” Under questioning from Kramer, Burke said the church is considering the possibility of a “small mobile home.” “We have looked at mobile homes. We have looked at the price of lumber. We have looked at modular homes. We would like to get something in there as soon as possible that we can (Continued on Page 16) Former Charlottesville Mayor Democratic Candidate In 7th Democrats finally have a candidate for the 7th Congressional District seat. Francis H. Fife, former mayor of Charlottesville, announced Tuesday he will seek the Democratic nomination in the 7th District. Also, Aruthur W. Arundel of The Plains is considering a bid for the Democratic nomination. Mr. Arundel is publisher of The Rappahannock News and four other weekly newspapers in Northern Virginia. Six Republicans seek their party’s nomination for the seat Rep. J. Kenneth Robinson will vacate at year’s end. But those originally regarded as the likely Democratic candidates — Del. Alson H. Smith Jr. of Frederick County and Charlottesville Mayor Frank Buck — opted last month not to run. Mr. Fife, 63, is a vicepresident and trust officer with Sovran Bank of Virginia. He was a member of the Charlottesville City Council, 1970-78, and served as mayor, 1972-74. In recent weeks he met with party leaders — includ FRANCIS H. FIFE ing 6th District Rep. James Olin and 7th District Democratic Chairman John J. Davies III — to discuss his possible candidacy, Mr. Fife said. Mr. Arundel confirmed Tuesday that he also has discussed a possible bid for the seat with party leaders, including Gov. Charles S. Robb. He has been encouraged to seek the nomination, Mr. Arundel said. “But, I’m leaning against it,” he said. Mr. Arundel cited his commitment to development of Great Meadow, an equestrian facility at Old Tavern, as a major consideration which may keep him out of the race. Running as a Democrat, he lost an election for a state senate seat in 1966, when he lived in McLean. Mr. Fife said as mayor and city councilman his major accomplishments were “economic development initiatives” which won “strong support of the business community.” In Charlottesville, he is best known for “programs which have revitalized the downtown area,” the candidate said. Mr. Fife’s supporters reportedly have raised $26,000 to launch a campaign which could cost $300,000 to $600,000 if he gets the nomination. “We believe that Francis will be able to raise substantial sums of money in all areas of the district,” said George Gilliam, former Democratic District chairman and the man who in 1974 gave Rep. Robinson the closest race of his career. «1 ack Newt nmo/faaktta Scfcnfck AND THE ENVELOPE, PLEASE — Cristol Porter, the new Miss Rappahannock, was crowned queen at the annual beauty pageant held last Friday night.

General District Court Burning Law Questioned Judge John Alexander dismissed unlawful burning charges against H. W. Mundy after his lawyer moved to strike the evidence on the theory that the burning law may never have been adopted in the county. Mundy was charged with burning within 300 feet of a woodland area, but his lawyer maintained that the commonwealth’s burden of proof was to show that the law had never been adopted by the Board of Supervisors. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke says he learned that the ordinance had been adopted in 1941, but added that there is no county ordinance book in which the judge could check. Luke said he would research the records. Mundy was found guilty of cursing and abusing an officer, a charge arising from the same incident on March 24. The charge was reduced from attempting to intimidate an officer through force of threats, Luke says. Mundy was fined $50 phis $35 court costs. Other cases on the criminal docket that day included: Clara W. Renzie, welfare fraud, ordered to make restitution to the welfare office in the amount of $244, $100 fine suspended, $35 costs. Jeffrey L. Deal, bad checks, (Phyllis Swindler, complainant), capias issued. Same, bad check, (Thomas Baldwin, complainant), ca pias issued. Traffic Division The following cases appeared on the April 3 traffic docket: Ann M. Eagan, 67/55, $24425. Richard C. Glover, 65/55, $20/$20. Patrick James O’Connell, 72/55. $34/$20. Aubrey Douglas Settle, Jr., 67/55, $24/$20. Richard Anthony Powell, DWI, nolle prosse (blood test negative). Same, no registration, complied with law. William Arthur Cook, no inspection, $10/$20. Court was brief during the March 27 session of General District Court. It was because there was just one case on the traffic docket and seven on the criminal docket. Three of those cases were continued. James O’Grady, Jr. was charged with probation violation in traffic court. He had been assigned to ASAP and then allegedly moved to New York, according to court records. However, officials in that state reported O’Grady had not entered any alcohol safety program there. Judge John Alexander revoked O’Grady’s Virginia operator’s license for six months and revoked the ASAP assignment as well. Criminal Division John Joseph Schroeder testified that his alleged probation violation was partly due to a misunderstanding between himself and the community diversion program officers in Culpeper. His difficulties were also due in part to his own drug dependence, Shroeder said. He broke down on the witness stand, saying, UI can’t help it I’m a marijuana user!” Alexander remanded Schroeder to the sheriff and the Culpeper substance abuse counselor. The case was continued for one more week so the mental health officers could screen Schroeder and report back to the court. “He is apparently in need of some help and that’s the best place to start,” said Alexander. Other cases included: Roger W. Jones, unlawful burning, $25/$20, prepaid $5.45, suspension of fine if costs paid. Bruce Eugene Gatewood, non-payment of costs, copias issued. Arthur McKinley Gatewood, capias issued. Jerry C. Pullen, bad check (Donald D. Keithly, complainant), nolle prosse.

Hutchinson BEAUTY AND THE BEAST — Seamus, Cindy Mahan’s handsome golden retriever, stares down Steve Williams’ less than handsome Bogart, the pit bull, while Sandra Cartwright-Brown, organizer of RAAC’s Fodderstack pet show, assesses the attributes of the two dogs. Bogart, a top contender for the ugliest dog award, won that crown in a Culpeper pet show and went on to take national honors in competition sponsored by Jamesway. Repeat Performance Scheduled Director Pali Delevitt says “Where I’m Cornin’ From” will be “back by popular demand on May 4 and 5 at the Gay Street Theater. Delevitt says she was encouraged by the large audience last weekend and decided to produce the play another weekend to give more people the op portunity to see it. “It really was incredible,” she said Monday. “The public response was so great.” Delevitt recommended reserving tickets early for the encore performances because ‘it looks like a sellout.” Tickets may be bought in advance at Nature’s Foods. From Ugliest To Most Spotted ( Pets Are Readying For RAAC Show Plans for the RAAC Pet Show are fully underway, reports Cindy Mahan, one of the organizers of Rappahannock’s second annual animal competition. The show will be held Saturday, April 21, in the lot next to the Rappahannock National Bank on Gay Street after the awards in the Fodderstack Race are presented. Judging is expected to begin around 1 p.m. Bogart, a five-year-old pit bull belonging to Steve Williams of Slate Mills and past winner of a national “Ugly Pet” contest, is the odds on favorite to take that title in the RAAC show. Banished from the county by his owner after felling a 500 pound cow, Bogart now lives with Steve’s father in McLean and has joined the swelling ranks of Rappahannock weekenders. Belying his homeliness, Bogart is blessed with a very affectionate disposition. Williams has previously owned collies, German shepherds and doberman pinschers and swears, after sharing his life with the stocky pit bull, that he’ll never again have any other breed. Several other fourlegged creatures have also signaled intentions of joining the competition on Fodder stack Race day. Seamus, a four-year-old golden retriever owned by Richard and Cindy Mahan of Slate Mills, may well win a ribbon in several catagories. He would definitely qualify for Most Handsome Dog, perhaps for Largest Dog and maybe for Reddest Dog. Front runner, thus far, for Dog with the Most Spotted Tongue award is Molly McGolly, a black and white three-year-old female of unknown origin who appears to be a bearded collie. Molly belongs to Ray and Chris Deakins, weekenders who plan to move to Rappahannock as soon as possible. Top contender for Most Unusual Hobby award looks like it will go to Winchester, a Jack Russell terrier beloning to Natalie Emery. Winnie amuses himself by rolling stones—having mastered a technique whereby he pushes a stone with his front feet and then attacks it. The game appears arduous since stone size leaves Winnie undaunted (he has been seen pushing and pouncing on stones 10 inches in diameter) and the stones sometimes progress less than fives inches per shove. Winnie lives with the John Ford family due to his friendshp with Duchess, the Ford’s golden retriever. Both Duchess and Winnie accompany all trail rides from the stable next door. Duchess may also enter the Hobby category since her specialty is finding and bringing home dried animal products—from carcasses to cow patties. She eitfoys the game of floating her treasure downstream and swimming after it. The Most Unusual Friendship award may be shared by Cinnamon, a young cat from Old Mill Stables, who sleeps on the back of Nash, a thoroughbred gelding. There are countless other categories to be assigned as the pets are brought to be judged by the committee. Larry LeHew, Joint Master of the Rappahannock Hounds, has agreed to be master of ceremonies. The pet show promises amusement and gloiy for all pets of Rappahannock and their owners. Questions we welcomed by the chairman, Sandra Cartwright-Brown, at 987-8025 or by Cindy Mahan, at 987-8057. The $1 entry fee will benefit the Rappahhannoc| Association for the Arts add the Community. The search is still on for the Best Dressed Pet award, Most Unique Pet, Cat with the Most Toes, Blackest Dog or Cat etc. etc. BZA Approves Fire Training Tower Fire and rescue workers from throughout the Piedmont region will be seen climbing up and down the sides of a four story tower in Amiss ville soon. A special use permit for the training tower was approved at the March 28 Board of Zoning Appeals meeting. Fire and rescue association spokesman Paul Poling explained how tht concrete At their March'30 meeting, the trustees for the Rappahannock County Library unanimously selected Grace Sims as the new librarian to fill the position left vacant March 1 by the resignation of Audrey Brents. Mrs. Brents will be leaving the county. In Mrs. Sims, the library will have a professional certified librarian to manage its operation, which gives it a preferred status in the Virginia State Library System, according to the trustees. Grace Sims’ previous professional experience includes head librarian for 11 years at The Madiera School, librarian research analyst and translator for the War Department’s Military Intelli gence Division for two years. Her volunteer library work includes eight years in the Rappahannock Library, four years in George Washington University’s National Youth Administration and numerous jobs in the libraries of universities, high schools, Girl Scout organizations, and churches. Mrs. Sims has memberships in the American Library Association and the Virginia Library Association. She regularly attends their conferences and workshops on current trends in U. S.

If the facility isn’t built in Rappahannock, volunteers will have to travel to Fairfax, Winchester or Charlottesville for training, he said. Under recent state regulations, state funds will no longer be available for small training classes at individual units, Poling added. For example, formerly the Washington department might have been able to get money to train 10 people, he said. However, Amissville has been a designated regional training center since 1963 and the school there has been chosen for further funding, Poling reported. The association’s legal agent, Hubert Gilky, explained that Rappahannock had been awarded a $5,000 grant to start construction on the tower. If the association is unable to obtain zoning approval, it will lose the funding and use of trained instructors for the school at Amissville. The money will go to some other county’s association if Rappahannock can’t use it, Poling added. If it remains unused by June 15, it will return to the state’s general fund, he said. Gilky asked that the special use permit be valid for at least two years. It will take longer than a year (the usual length) to build and fund the tower, he explained. Since no county money will be involved, the association will need a second grant to complete construction. “We stand a very good chance of getting a grant next year if substantial construction is underway,” he said, adding “There’s no way the association could raise that kind of money.” The BZA kpj>rt)veij k ' permit hntil November- \ 1966, on the condition thdt the building be painted dark green. Board member Peter Kramer asked for the color condition out of a concern for “aesthetics.” The “raw concrete” could be “an eyesore”, he noted.

It will be built behind the Amiss ville fire hall on the company’s property on Route 211.

There are many areas where do-it-yourself can be very beneficial - selling your own home is not one of them. This is one area where the homeowner himself has made such a judgement. A survey by the National Association of Realtors showed that 82% of todays homes are sold through the services of real estate agents. Sometimes I think these books are published to sell books rather than homes.

Crafts John Elsea spoke on ORIENTAL RUGS in the Library’s lecture series. He raised a thought-provoking point, saying that fine rugs should be hung on the wall as art rather than walked upon. While Oriental rugs are big business, they come originally from daily life, from the desire .of a culture to endow even tne most functional aspects of life with beauty and creativity. Driving through Rappahannock one sees examples of the impulse: fields dotted with rolls of hay, woodpiles stacked into intricate mosaics. Their temporal nature is accepted - the wood will be burned and the hay fed to livestock. What then with the rugs? Is it an injustice to the art form to walk on it, or an injustice to the rug to hang it on a wall?

Towards that end, a 24 hour training course for volunteers is being offered, beginning Monday, April 23, from 7 to 9 p.m. in the conference room at Warren Memorial Hospital. The course will conclude June 25. Hospice is a concept for care for the terminally ill and their families. Its objective is to provide relief from pain, fear, loneliness, guilt and anxiety for the patient and family. Its goal is to enhance the quality of life — to live and die with dignity. Hospice care focuses on the quality of remaining life rather than the quantity by concentrating on the whole person, not just the disease. A strong corps of volunteers is the lifeblood of Blue Ridge Hospice. Without these caring, dedicated individuals who give so generously of their time, energy and abilities, the Blue Ridge Hospice program would not be possible. Hospice volunteer training is given with dual objectives. Obviously, it seeks to train volunteers to work with Blue Ridge Hospice but it also tries to improve attitudes within the community toward the idea of death and the dying patient.

Office open in Culpeper daily Weekends by Appointment 825-5184 Audience Likes Where Local Talent’s Cornin’ From _By MICHELE MAY What makes “Where I’m Coinin’ From” work best is the original musical numbers. The show stopping “Terminal Desire” left the opening night audience stunned all the way through the intermission and half the next day. This love song to a computer was composed by Bill Abernathy with lyrics by Freeman Allan and Loren Sdurba. Sdurba sang the lead with some 1960s style bobby-boxing scooby-doo back-up from Chris Ralph and Randy Moran. The entire cast portrayed the beloved computer through some exceptionally creative choreography. “Please Don’t Melt the Sky” was another outstanding number. Jennifer Shorb was a winsome singer protesting war with sensitive lyrics by Gaston deBeam. The music was composed by Jair Gopal and Pali Delevitt. In “School Bus” by Bill Abernathy with lyrics by Chris Ralph, the entire student body objects to people who drive our dogs and murder animal* “while out killing time.” The scene starts when one of the children looks out the bus window and says, “Look at that rabbit in the road!” The entire chorus responds, “oh, yuchhhhh!” Such novel ways of starting songs made “Where I’m Cornin’ From” come together. The actual structure of the play was borrowed from "The Me Nobody Knows”, a musical about young people written by a group of teens in New York in 1970. That play won the Obie Award for best musical of the year. Except for a song about a graffiti artist being killed by a subway while in the midst of creating a masterpiece, the Broadway version is tame compared to the one created by Rappahannock young people, however. A C Rappahannock’s opening r night audience members sat at the edge of their seats in rapt attention as they learned about such important matters as: 1) how to create daydream opportunities at echoed, 2) how to become a master of the midnight escape from an upper story bedroom and 3) how best to spend a million dollars. The only similarity between the two scripts is the fact that both shows follow a group of teenagers through the school day from waking up in the morning until bedtime. Each play was devised from the improvisations of its own cast. Rappahannock students rose to the challenge of creating dialogue with substance. Each play also uses a stylized set. It includes a backdrop showing a city street and platforms that can be rearranged at will to become everything from bus seats to family dinner tables. The local version was designed by Linda Heimstra, Pah Delevitt and Laurie Marshall. The backdrop for “Where I’m Cornin’ From” was covered with brilliant dayglo graffiti that seemed to change and burn under the lights. These lights must be singled out as the most professional technical aspect of the production. Bob Baines designed a lighting plot that subtly set the moods from scene to scene. Especially noteworthy were the electronic-type strobe effects during Terminal Desire” and the powerful fade-up of intensity during the final number “Children of Light.” Bob was assisted by Lee Baines and Greg Smith. The best bit of acting was turned in by Willie Arias. He plays Kurt, the kid brother, the math whiz, the video game groupie — and most of all — and best of all — the little guy who has just discovered — GIRLS. “Sometimes love can be embarrassing,” he comments after the gorgeous girl, Camelia (Christine Bronson), rejects him just because he’s short. But he has become an expert on the female psychology (their conversation consists on nothing but giggles and gossip, he notices) and wins out in the end to the amazement of the more macho “men.” There is Jack (Randy Moran) who sees a “sexy smile” when he looks in the mirror, he wishes he could major in surfing at high school. There are “insiders” Sal (Loren Sciurba) and Neal (Gaston deBeam) by whose bad example the others decide there really are no outsiders — everyone has a place and just has to find it. The girfs swoon over Eric (Sean Bennett) when he becomes a punk singer during “Love Stinks.” These girls, especially Tessie (Rae Marie Lutes), who does the swooning, and Codi (Doretha Butler), all perform with a high level of energy as well. As director Pali Delevitt comments in the program notes, “We are very fortunate to have such sensitive and talented young people in our midst, and to be given the opportunity to hear what they have to say.” Rappahannock High students in the cast included Doretha Butler, Becky Williams, Nicole Frye, Denise Shorb and Jennifer Shorb. Those from Wakefield were Chris Ralph, Gaston deBeam, Loren Sciurba, Christine Bronson, Willie Arias, Randy Moran, Rae Lutes, Bick Roemer and Sean Bennett. Accompanists Bill Abernathy and Barbara Sherman helped keep the show moving at a brisk pace. There were two minor weaknesses in the show. The musical numbers were so strong that scenes in between seemed slow and drawn-out by comparison. Either the pacing could be picked up or some of the dialogue cut. The other flaw was competition between the student actors. Theater is above all a blend with other people. It’s unfortunate when some of the strongest performers want to stay center stage all the time. Basic acting rules get violated. For instance, it’s bad manners to walk around during somebody else’s ballad. When somebody forgets his lines, the cast works together as a group to rescue the scene. Everyone uses the same energy level with no one sticking out because of bigger and exaggerated gestures. For theater is a synthesis of the creative efforts of many working together. Each must enhance the others. Amateur theater is an attempt to learn how to do this. Most of the time “Where I’m Cornin’ From” succeeds in this goal exceedingly well. Delevitt assembled a strong cast and a number of outstanding artists in other fields and mounted an energetic and entertaining production.

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, APRILS, 1964 County Ordinances Events this week in the court house underline the necessity of codifying county ordinances. At Monday’s supervisor session, Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke and Sheriff John Henry Woodward proposed minor changes to Rappahannock’s local tag law. The changes, which will be advertised for public hearing, will give both current residents buying a new car and newcomers moving to the county 30 days to purchase a county sticker. The discussion prompted Supervisor Nelson Lane, a newcomer to the board, to ask for a copy of all county ordinances. His request brought only laughter. Lane’s fellow board members explained that there is no compilation of county ordinances.The only records of the local laws enacted for Rappahannock County are buried in the minute books of supervisor meetings going back more than half a century. Then in District Court on Tuesday, a case was dismissed because no record could be found of the adoption of a county burning law. Supposidly, a local ordinance was passed some years ago but when Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke couldn’ old minute books, dismissed. s was These two instances point out the need for someone to go back through the records and find all the old laws so that they can be updated to comply with state statutes and then codified. Once com piled and revised, copies would be available for easy reference. Who should undertake this tedious task? We suggest that the board investigate the possibilities offered through the county’s summer youth employment program. The program’s organizers are always looking for supervised job sites that offer meaningful work for young people. If one, maybe two, capable teenagers could be found - and there are plenty of capable teenagers in the employment program - and Clerk Diane Bruce is willing to oversee the young people, then the county could get the research done at no cost. There is a precedent for this approach. Several years ago, a teenager from Huntly undertook a similar project for the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection. Over the summer Eva Dahlgren poured over county records, digging out the subdivisions approved in past years. Her work gave local government a clear picture of exactly where Rappahannock stood in terms of what already had been developed. Young people in the summer . youth employment program could perform that safne se^eg Jay.gnd-. t^ ^cords^^ jo^UMf* £# * ready enacteaby the county ’ supervisors. And at the same ~ time, the board will have the satisfcation of providing teenagers who want to work, who need to work, with a meaningful task that will benefit everyone in Rappahannock County. This Was The News In Bygone Rappahannock Times... 25 YEARSAGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS FORTY-TWO RCHS seniors and their chaperones, Stella Johnson and Carson Johnson, had left at seven o’clock Monday morning by Trailways bus to tour New York. They were expected to return home on Thursday, April 2,1959. The annual Cancer Crusade ran April 13-28 in Rappahannock in 1959. The Reverend H.E. Nicholson, county chairman, announced the following local leaders: Mrs. E.G. Hackley, Mrs. C.M.M. Green, Mrs. C.B. Johnson, Mrs. Frank Cary, Mrs. G.W. Smith, Mrs. W.H. Critzer and Mrs. Jack Weaver. “The importance of the Cancer Society’s Crusade cannot be over emphasized,” said Nicholson. Rappahannock County Democratic Committee Chairman James W. Fletcher published notice that anyone planning to seek nomination for county office in the democratic primary must file a declaration of candidacy with him “at least 90 days before the said Primary to be held on July 14,1959.” Mrs. Florence Johnson of Wood.ville celebrated her 90th birthday at a dinner party in D.C. Her children Mr. and Mrs. S.D. Dailey and Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Johnson were hosts at the celebration. Mr. and Mrs. Vernon P. Leitch of Gainesville had recently purchased the 218 acre ''Buck Alther Farm” on the Thornton River near Castleton from Bruce Settle. Mr. Leitch, who was employed by the Veterans Administration in Washington, D.C. was planning to retire to the farm where he was also hoping to raise game as a hobby. Rosalind Russell was starring in “Auntie Marne” at Pitts’ Theatre in Culpeper. Tickets were 75* for adults and 20* for children. 34 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS DURING THE FIRST weekend of April in I960, Senator Raymond Guest had brought Bing Crosby to Front Royal to preside over the dedication of the “Bing Crosby Stadium”, a 97 unit parade and a special matinee of his latest movie “Riding High.” Rappahannock citizens were invited to participate in the festivities. According to Senator Benjamin T. Pitts of Fredericksburg, president of the Pitts Theatre Corporation, the promotion was planned to encourage healthful recreation for youngsters and to sponsor sports among young people. Fifty Rappahannock children were among 550 area youngsters invited to see “Riding High” in Front Royal. Two school buses would take the children to the theater. They were to be furnished free lunches enroute. Gene Wagner, Annie Cooke and Mary Banks were in charge of the trip and would supervise the children. Mrs. H.C. Warwick was county chairman of the annual cancer fund drive. The volunteers urged that everyone “give liberally to fight the cancer monster.” In adopting the new budget, county supervisors set the tax levy at $2 for every district except Piedmont which had an additional 15* for bonds. LOur Rappahannock Heritage_ Letters To The Editor RCHS Expansion Is Hobson’s Choice To the editor “Hobson’s choice” is an old expression which came into the English language because of the practice of Thomas Hobson who hired out horses from his stable in Cambridge, England, during the 1600’s. Hobson required every customer to take the horse nearest the door, regardless of the animal’s condition. And so the expression “Hobson’s choice” came to mean a choice without an alternative; the thing offered or nothing. The expression “Hobson’s choice” seems to have died out in Rappahannock County but the practice of old Tom Hobson has not. School superintendent Estabrook has now revived it. The superintendent offers the taxpayers of Rappahannock, through our supervisors, the choice of “buying in” on a new basketball “superdome” for a lot of money or of “buying in” on a different basketball “superdome-’' fer even more money. THe appears feTbe HeHin(<IHi supervisors, apparemagr ■ with the support of the present School Board, ‘The choice of building or not building is really no longefc yours to make.” (“Enough is enough,” he says.) “Your choice is to spend a lot or spend even more.” So Estabrook, with his board, insists that we “buy in,” ie. commit to the project, by putting a $63,534 architect’s fee in this year’s school budget when neither ' the School Board nor the Board of Supervisors has formally and officially approved any building in the first place! The “Hobson’s choice” would be to saddle the county for 20 years with an additional yearly debt service on either $836,475 or on $1,303,777 (at five percent, $83,646 or $130,376 the first year). A sizeable amount to be added to all future budgets for 20 years by this one budget decision, of course. And then we get the same old “panic” argument (another variation of “Hobson’s choice”) of, “Do what we want now because it’s going to cost you much more later on through rising inflation and interest rates when you are compelled to approve.” Certainly we have become accustomed (and inured) to this type of pleading by school administrators and successive, selfappointed special interest groups from the days of the S.O.S. to the present one. The real question involved here is, and always has been, the justification and real need for expansion of the physical plant at the high school. (We used to talk about classrooms; now we appear to be discussing basketball courts and auditoriums.) While -on the School Board myself my position on this controversial issue was clear and was consistent — “Justify the expansion with FACTS and I’ll vote for it; if . jou cannot, -1/l vote against ’te ^here' we stffl are today and that, in my opinion, should be the position of our elected supervisors. Before voting, however, the supervisors should demand (and get) from our superintendent and the School Board the FACTS with which to decide. Unfortunately, for the promoters of these expansionist schemes, one of the most important FACTS is a steady and continuing decline in school population, in this county and throughout the Commonwealth. When that FACT, with all its implications, is fully understood by our supervisors, there is still a very important question hanging in the air for the supervisors to ask: “How well have you used the money we have approved for you in the past?” If asked myself, I would have to answer, truthfully and with sorrow, that in this county it is no longer a question of the school children getting a “quality” education or, even, an education, period. It has now become a question of whether, for the general student body, we are graduating illiterates unable to read and write their own language or to handle minimal and necessary computations. It has now become a question of whether we are going to focus our attention and public financing on basketball and entertainment or on the fundamental and basic education of the children. There is no point in asking, “Who’s to blame?” We all are. Some'.for not doing their public duty and others for allowing this to happen. Blame for what? For condemning a generation: igf young people to ttMton ignorance. That’s what! I’m sorry to say that the word and fact of accountability are almost forgotten in this county. My suggestion to our elected governing body is that we use this affair of the “Basketball Superdome” to commence restoring accountability in Rappahannock County, not only in the public school system, but throughout all departments of local government. And that the already precarious fiscal posture of the county is not going to be further endangered by any more “Hobson’s choices." ROBERT W. EASTHAM Flint Hill Review Appreciated io me eaiior: Thanks greatly for the excellent review of our school play. Ms. May’s review was very complete and a source of much pleasure to our student actors. W. E. LYNN Headmaster, Wakefield School Cancer Donations Returned To County As Services Volunteers from the Rappahannock unit of the American Cancer Society are going door-to-door this month, collecting money for the annual Cancer Crusade. When a volunteer knocks, those asked to contribute should remember that a substantial portion of any money given comes back to the donors in the form of services provided here to cancer patients and their families and to the community at large. The Rappahannock unit will provide money to defray the cost of transportation to and from treatment centers for cancer patients. Limit is $126 per person per year. If the treatment center is over 100 miles away one way, the limit is raised to $225 annually. (Also included in the transportation figure is $40 for pain relieving drugs.) Also for local cancer patients, the unit maintains a loan closet in Flint Hill operThe typical U.S. family of four uses about 350 gallons of water each day. ated by Dolly Biddle and Kim Novak. Available free of charge are hospital beds, guard rails for beds, wheelchairs, portable walkers,leg braces'and many other items. Through the district office in Winchester, ostomy supplies can also be obtained. Equipment for cancer patients can be delivered if pick-up is impossible. The local Cancer Society’s “reach to recovery” program offers assistance to mastectomy patients. Volunteers schedule hospital visits, counsel patients, help with purchasing a prosthesis and stay in touch after the patient leaves the hospital. For the community at large, the Rappahannock unit will provide civic organizations, clubs, school and church groups with educational films. Titles include “Signals” (warning signs of cancer). “Let’s Call It Quits” (dangers of smoking) and “The Cancer No One Talks About” (colorectal). For additional information concerning any or all of the services described, contact Jule konick at 937-4364. 6Displaced Person’ Film Will Be Shown Monday The film The Displaced Person will be presented April 9 at 10:30 a.m. at the John Barton Payne Building in Warrenton by the Fauquier County Public Library. Based on a short story by Flannery O’Connor, the 58minute program was originally aired on public television. It dramatizes the destructive effects of the emotions kindled by the arrival of a family of Polish refugees in a rural Southern community alter World War II. Irene Worth and John Houseman are featured. The showing is part of the library’s lecture discussion series on the Southern Literary Renaissance and Beyond. From Both Barrels The Message Of The Caucuses By GEORGE BOWLES Virginia Democrats’ double-barreled mass meeting system of selecting delegates to their district, state and national conventions is one of the most complex in the nation. It is fully understood only by a relative handful of party leaders, and, one sometimes suspects, only dimly by them. Those mass meetings recently held in the states 140 counties and cities were the first steps in a process which will absorb the party’s attention until mid-summer. The mass meetings, or caucuses, elected most of the 3,600 delegates and 1,760 alternates who will attend Democrats’ state convention at Norfolk’s Scope on May 13-19. Before the state convention, the delegates from each of the 10 congressional districts will hold their district conventions. The district conventions will, in those districts fielding a candidate, name the party’s congressional nominee, and the delegates who will make up the district’s share of the state’s 78 delegates and 26 alternates to the national convention. That convention will be held in San Francisco’s Moscone Center beginhing July 16. When the delegates * get to Norfolk they will elect the “at large” delegates to the convention, four national committee persons, the 12 Democratic presidential electors, and, presumably, a senatorial candidate to oppose incumbent Republican John Warner. But our concern here is the pair of mass meetings. These were held in some areas of the state at noon on March 24 and in others at 7:30 p.m. on March 26. Their outcome was instructive and, at least according to spokesmen for those involved, contained elements of victory for just about everybody. The principal contestants were, of course, presidential candidates Walter Mondale, Jesse Jackson and Gary Hart. But in a sense there was s fourth man in the race, Gov. Chuck Robb, who had made a lukewarm pitch for the state to send an uncommitted delegation to the convention. It is, perhaps, a testament to the confusion of the process that three days after the second mass meeting the State Democratic Party headquarters was unable to come up with final figures on the numbers of participants in the mass meetings, or with a number of delegates which squared with the total number to be elected. A spokesperson described the available figures as “98 percent accurate.” Hence those which follow are subject to change. v Mondale, with 1,060 delegates, or 30 percent of the total, appeared to be the big winner. He was the candidate of the party’s liberal and labor constituent groups, and it would appear that these so-called estabUflbmentarian Democrats could claim at least a marginal triumph. £.1 But could they? The Rev. Jesse Jackson garnered only 920 delegates or 26 percent, but his supporters at the mass meetings outnumbered Mondale’s by a count of 7,740 to 6,889. Just why he trailed in the delegates count while having the most popular votes had a number of party people scratching their heads and wondering about the vagaries of the selection system. Beyond this seeming inconsistency, however, was the fact that Jackson had scored a stunning success. His voter registration drive and his visit to the state paid off handsomely. That success had almost immediate repercussions in state politics. Sen. Douglas Wilder of Richmond says he is “as close to being a candidate for lieutenant governor next year as one can be without announcing for the office.” He said, in effect the Jackson turnout proved that black voting power in the state was no longer a token thing, but a genuine display of political power. “I feel tremendously buoyed by it,” said Wilder. Actually, Jackson came in third in the delegate count, running behind the uncommitteds, who won 972, or 28 percent, of the delegates. The uncommitted strength was immediately proclaimed to be a fine showing of support for the governor by party Chairman Alan Diamonstein. Sen. Gary Hart picked up only 507 or 14 percent of the delegates. His last-place position in the race disappointed but did not necessarily surprise his supporters. They took heart (no pun intended) in the fact that he was working the state with an all-volunteer staff, had not visited Virginia, and had only a skeleton organization. A fairly extensive media mini-blitz in the days just before the mass meetings failed to overcome Hart’s other handicaps. Just how all this will shake out when the district and state conventions get around to slicing up the 78member delegation to the national convention is anybody’s guess. The answer lies in the real composition of that large uncommitted delegation. It is believed to harbor proponents of all three candidates, but to be made up mainly of those whose watchword is, “Anybody But Mondale!” That “anybody” could include Hart or some compromise convention candidate whose name has not yet surfaced. The Old Dominion’s moderate and conservative democmic record Mondale’s candidacy as fordoomed to disaster, both in Virginia and nationally. In view of all this, it is clear that Virginia Democrats still have a rough row to hoe before they depart for San Francisco in July. Travel Tips Featured Places to go and things to see will be the topic for the Fauquier chapter, National Association of Retired Federal Employees, at its monthly meeting April 10 at 11:30 at the Town and Country Restaurant, New Baltimore. Jim Hitch of Warrenton Travel will present travel tips and some good ideas for group trips. An opinion survey will be conducted to determine which local volunteer organizations the chapter should support. All federal retirees and their spouses are invited. Information on the chapter may be obtained by calling 347-1008. Break Dancers Anyone wishing to exhibit his or her talent in “break dancing” on Saturday afternoon after the Fodderstack 10K Race is requested to contact Laurie Marshall at the RAAC office in Washington’s Gay Street Theater on Monday or Tuesday between noon and 6 p.m. The date of the annual road race is April 21. The break dancing exhibition will follow the RAAC pet show which will begin after presentation of awards for the race.

Girl Scout Cookie Sales By EUGENE McCARTHY Rappahannock Ncwi Gncrt Columniat Poet, author, fanner United States Senator from Minnesota and candidate for the presidency, Eugene McCarthy now lives in Hawlin Hollow, Woodville. I am beginning to have serious doubts about the general good accomplished through the Girl Scout Cookie sales. My doubts are in no way related to the good things that are accomplished through the scout organization. It is the side effects, the collateral damage, as nuclear bomb experts would say, that have begun to worry me. The cookie sales, I am informed, were initiated as a way of raising money for the Girl Scouts long ago, when colesterol levels and over-weight had not yet been identified as national problems. We may have a classical example of how things good in every respect, or in nearly every respect, when introduced and even on through years after their introduction, have unforeseen, sometimes harmful, consequences in later years. One can dte examples from the historical record, religions and religious orders, political organizations, even parties, reform groups of various kinds, who having accomplished the reform for which they were organized go looking for new reform projects and in their zeal either for reform ' or for continued existence • undertake to reform things | that are better left alone. Among current organizations Common Cause is possibly the best example of goodness gone awry, demonstrating in its current operations what Gilbert Chesterton said was the historical and recurring achievement of Puritans, namely, “killing St. George, but keeping the dragon.” The corrupting force of the Girl Scout Cookie sales is not one of substance, comparable in any ways to that of the Puritans or of Common Cause. It is more procedural and accessory. I have observed at least four such bad side effects. The first is a general anxiety in the community when the cookie sale is on. Possibly the anxiety is intensified because the cookie sales come just before the April income tax payment date and the sellers make a point of telling cookie buyers that the amount of the payment for cookies is tax deductible. Anxiety and possibly guilt about income taxes are mildly stirred. Then at the time of the purchase, there are troubling questions to be faced, especially disturbing in a presidential election year when one is trying to sort out presidential candidates. One must decide how many boxes of cookies one should buy and then make the even more difficult choice among the varieties offered for selection. Should one buy thin mints or medallions? The choice does not depend only on taste preferences. The text on the boxes varies. The medallion box, for example, encourages the reader to take up river rafting, especially in rubber rafts. It also says a good word for raccoons, with no mention of the possibility that the coon is rabid. The thin mints box is less controversial in its text. It encourages tree planting, informing the reader that among other things, pencils, baseball bats and toothpicks are made from wood. Possibly more serious than the stress of decision that goes into the cookie buying are the dietary consequences of cookie buying. I know persons who are on diets who break the rules, relative to Girt Scout Cookies, because the purchase has been made for a higher purpose. Some avoid temptation by giving boxes of cookies to friends and neighbors. The neighbors resent being given the gift and some of them offer or give in return Girl Scout cookies of a variety different from those they have received, thus giving the lie to the statement on the cover of the cookie box which asserts that Girl Scout Cookies are a ‘‘unique gift with great appeal” and that “everyone loves Girl Scout cookies.” Some persons on being invited to dinner bring a box of cookies, either instead of a bottle of wine or to supplement the wine. Friendships are threatened and social relations endangered. I have not ventured to. inquire into the possible psychological effects of the cookie sale drive on the participants, either on those who are most successful or on those who sell few boxes of cookies. Wakefield Sweeps History Contest Judges called Wakefield. School a “history powerhouse” as Wakefield students won all of the six prizes awarded in the regional competition of the National History Contest held on Saturday, March 31, at Shenandoah College in Winchester.

LUKE norlr N«wa Guest Columnist Editor’s note: Col. Luke is the former chairman of the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors and its representative on the county’8 Planning Commission. He is one of two local representatives to the Rappahannock - Rapidan Planning District Commission.) From time to time, based on articles and letters in the News, there seems to be some misunderstanding about the nature of the flood plain in Rappahannock County. Using the 1961 Soil Survey of Rappahannock County as my principal source, I have tried to review some of the thinking that went into formulating the current zoning ordinance with regard to the flood plain, and I hope the same line of reasoning will be continued in the revised ordinance. In general the flooding of streams and rivers is a source of great damage to property. Not only are floods destructive of crops and property but they often endanger human lives. The more buildings that are constructed on bottom land subject to flooding, the greater the potential for loss. Flood plains are the natural spillways for the overflow from streams during periods of prolonged and heavy rainfall. Obstacles placed in these natural spillways, such as buildings, road Alls, or bridge abutments, tend to slow flood flow and cause water to back up to higher levels than it would reach in a natural unobstructed flood plain. It is important to know where the flood plains are so that new buildings will not be built where there is danger of damage from flood waters. In Rappahannock County the larger areas of flood plain soils are along the Hughes, Thornton, Hazel, Covington and Jordan Rivers. The soil survey maps of the county delineate the flood plains as being made up of different kinds of alluvial soils. Together, these soil types total 7605 acres, or 4.2 percent of the total land area of the county. The following is a list of flood plain soils: alluvial land, Buncombe loamy fine sand, Chewacla silt loam, Congaree fine sandy loam, »nd Riverwash. The flood plains, designated by soil type, are subject to varying frequency and duration of flooding. In general the flood plains in the eastern and central parts of the county are subject to more frequent overflow than those nearer the foot of the mountains. There are some houses and other buildings on these flood plains, notably in the vicinity of Sperryville on the Thornton River and Peola Mills on the Hughes River. Where buildings of significance stand on these flood plains, there is usually some protection in the form of a deepened stream channel, a high wall, or a levee. Sometimes the buildings are on high edges of the flood plain or on small rises within it. While these flood plains near the Mountains may be flooded less frequently than those further downstream, there is a greater chance of a catastropic flood such as occured in Nelson County in August 1969 and in part of Rappahannock County in 1980. The above analysis, in part, formed the basis for Rappahannock’s flood plain to be defined by soil type. In addition, state and local Health Department tests indicated that wells in the Sperryville area were contaminated with fecal coliform from septic tank drain fields located in flood plain type soil. This unhealthful condition coupled with the direct discharge of sewage into the Thornton River were leading factors in the effort started in 1968 by the Water and Sewer Authority to obtain a sewer system for Sperryville. This sewer system should be operating within a few years if all goes well during construction. The soil types listed above have characteristics which make them unfavorable for home foundations, home basements, or for septic tank drain fields or privies, lawns or shrubs. They are either shallow over bed rock, have slow internal drainage or high water tables in the subsoil. They also may have expanding clays in the subsoil, occupy hilly, steep, or very steep slopes or rocky and stony areas that make buildings infeasible or almost impossible. Some soils like Congaree or Bun combe may be good for septic tanks but danger from flooding prohibits their use for homes. There also may be small areas in these flood plain soils that could be made satisfactory for septic field use but the cost would be great. Recently there have been proposals that houses be built in the flood plain with sewer systems (septic fields) located outside the flood plain area. However, such systems would still cause problems, unless they were located far enough away on land sloping away from the flood plain area. If not, the effluent would lead down hill to the flood plain soil and into the ground water table. Also any well drilled in flood plain soil would be subject to contamination from non-point source pollution, i.e. run-off of agricultural waste and toxic chemicals, etc. The above rationale presents compelling reasons why the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors should not change the zoning ordinance and allow buildings to be constructed in the floodplain. There are some people in the county who want to build houses in the flood plain and use as their rear son that the land has not flooded in a great number of years. They go to heroic effort to find “old timers” who remember that a particular parcel of land has never been flooded. The rationale discussed above sets forth the hazards of building in the flood plain. I believe it is poor public policy to allow anyone to build a house in a potentially dangerous area such as a flood plain. I realize that this line of reasoning does not have the support of everyone. However, I should point out that when the first zoning ordinance was passed, some people objected because it infringed on their freedom with respect to “property rights.” If the new zoning ordinance is more restrictive than the old ordinance then everyone gives up a little more of their freedom as to what they can or cannot do with their property. By carefully enforcing our zoning ordinances we can continue to maintain Rappahannock County as a unique rural area. AC REBAT Potomac Edisc Act now and save two times.

Growing Flowers For Fun And Profit By MICHELE MAT I NcwaStaW Writer It all started in 1964 when Dorothy Davis made a dried flower centerpiece for a Thanksgiving dinner at Trinity Episcopal Church. They sold the centerpiece for $3 after the dinner. And so the next year she made three centerpieces. This tripled the money she was able to raise for the church. In 1967 the county's first house tour was sponsored by the historic association to celebrate the Jamestown Exhibition. That was the year Flossie Williamson got involved in the churchwomen’s dried flower sale. Dotsie wanted to show how flowers and herbs were dried during Colonial times, Flossie remembers. So Flossie dressed in her grandmother’s dress and took 301 people up to her attic. There she demonstrated the tricks of her trade. That was also the year the churchwomen made 100 dried flower arrangements. The Reverend John Frizell drove the women with their flowers in a truck to Seven Corners in Arlington to sell them. “We made more money than ever before, but we ran into the flu epidemic,” Flossie recalls. As years went by, the women continued to double production—the men decided to double the prices. This past fall, the men and women working on the famous dried flower arrangements created 462 of them. By noon of the first day, they were almost all cleared out. The volunteers had to steer clear of the crowds. By Sunday there were only about 50 arrangements left for the second day of the house tour. Flossie thought at first the flower sale would be a fad. But it’s excelerated each year until it bursts into bloom each year whether there’s a chairman or not, whether, in fact,the decision has been made to do it again. The seeds have been ordered and planted in various locations all over the county and “then it’s too late to stop,” she says. The flowers for the 1964 annual fall house tour and dried flower sale are already under the care of several of Rappahannock’s most tender gardeners. . Marie’s Greenhouse “It’s interesting. It’s Ain. But it’s like taking care of a baby,” says Marie Kilpatrick. She has been recruited to pamper two flats of flowers in her Woodville greenhouse. At the same time, she’s helping to landscape a son’s home in Charleston, South Carolina, and it’s necessary sometimes to find a good babysitter. “I tried to teach Jack,” 1 HEADQUARTERS for all your garden needs SEED POTATOES NOW AVAILABLE •Garden Tools •Packaged Vegetable A Flower Seeds •Planting Guide Booklets •Onion Sets •FertMzers A bisectlCRMS SUMMER FLOWERING BULBS i ... _ f Gladiolus Liannas Begonias We have all you need tb groWiovely flowers and * healthy vegetables. CLARKE HARDWARE, INC 7:30-5:30 Monday-Saturday 201 E. Davis St. — 825-9178 she says, “And he dutifully conies down and pours water over them and washes them out and there’s nothing you can say but, “Oh, thank you, darling!’ ” Flossie agrees. “You just can’t go to Richmond during the growing season.” (That’s where her family is.) James’Solar System James Wood planted 1,000 seeds in his solarheated living room on February 11. Then he, Diane and baby Britton left fir an extended stay in Houston. Diane’s mother, Margarite Tuthill, came over to spray every day while they were away. Now the ftiture flowers have grown to the point where they are nearly recognizable—one can tell the pansy from the phlox, the dianthus from the celoeia. There are even a few jalaperao peppers and tomatoes. Those are for the family. Of the 1,000 seedlings, James says he will have maybe two flats of flowers for the church—at a conservative guess. James will transplant them into his garden, but when they bloom, he wants nothing more to do with them. He tried to dry a few flowers last year, he remembers. He buried them in a bucket of sand, but then it rained and spoiled them. This year he will pluck the flowers and take them to church in bouquets. There he will thrust them at the first dryer or arranger he sees and say, “Here! Take care of this!” “I’m not gonna dry this year,” he says.” It’s too hard around here to find a dry place. Someone else can do that.” But participating in the fall flower sale (which is really a year around activity) involves “enough different things you can choose what’s fUn about it.” For James it’s fun growling plants. In fact, he designed his home to allow for this living room garden. He has rods in the ceiling to hold florescent lights later that will raise and lower. This is all over a solid wall of window toeing south, ‘teach, night he goes outside © cover the wall with slabs of styrofoam to keep in the heat. The general effect is like living in a greenhouse. “You have to watch the humidity, that’s for sure!” he says. When the sun heats up their home, the Woods have to run the dehumidifier all the time. “People think ‘Wouldn’t it be swell to have a big greenhouse’ but you get moisture problems and mold grows where it shouldn’t be,” he says of life in the underground.

They live there while they're building the rest of their house shove.) Scientific Secrets With typical ingenuity, James fashioned planters from shower stall bottoms and floreecent fixture faring which he acquired at various auctions and building surplus suppliers. A long sheet of plastic for stretching over the top he describes as “dual purpose — it keeps the cat out and the humidity in.” A concrete block base keeps the seedlings high enough to keep the baby out as well Among his secrets of success, James suggests gardeners must spray, not pour, the water onto the plants. He recommends potting soil and sphagnum moss from the Rappahannock Coop. He also bought 3,000 peat pots there “because there's a quantity discount” but has 4/5ths of them left. No matter. Like everyone else who volunteers once, he’s now firmly entrenched in the church flower business. James says he doesn’t like “to mess with mixing my own potting , soil. It’s a little expensive — $11 a bag — but it works fine.” This year he also plans to order a truck-load of something called colloidal phosphate to spread over the outside garden. It’s a super fertilizer, he says, “You can leave that there for 10 years — but you have to buy a semi-load foil.” Besides his church flowers, James says he plans to try seedless watermelon this year and also has 100 blueberry plants “out there waiting.” It seems to be a healthy hobby for a former biology teacher turned computer programmer — who is becoming increasingly active in the foil dried flower sale. Jane’s Garden Jane and Maurice Herndon will produce six flats of seedlings this year, according to Flossie Williamson's pledge HK. ‘"'Jane says ' they won’* start planting until later 'In April because they don't want the flowers to crane out before the second week of May (because May 10th is supposed to be the last frost in this area.) The Herndons always "plant lots of ginntaa outside” and also have two hot beds in front of the house for less hardy varieties, she says. Because she also participates in the other stages of creation, Jane is concerned about the appearance each plant will offer to the overall arrangement. They spend several months during the winter studying the seed catalogues to choose plants which have bean easiest to preserve in the past. “We often try something new," she adds, “particularly rate of the everlast —Kappanannock News Pho(o/M. May ACCORDING TO JAMES WOOD, the secret to successfully starting seedlings is keeping the moisture in . . . ings. But sometimes they don’t look anything like in the seed catalogues.” One of their biggest disappointments last year was something called sea holly. She hadn’t heard of it before, but it was supposed to have pretty blue flowers. It didn’t. Shades of blue are hardest to come by, Jane says. Lots of people are growing larkspur in the county, just to dry for the fall house tour. But it isn’t always easy to work with and doesn’t offer a lot of variety. The Herndons have also tried growing and seedlings "in the hall with grow lights, but they come up so fast they get real leggy.” she reports. They have the best luck planting the seeds in shallow flats of potting soil which they mix at the kitchen table. They then take them directly to the garden almost immediately after the plants have sprouted. When they run out of room, they take the seedlings to the social hour at church on Sunday and persuade fellow parishioners to adopt them. Some df the m6sV cessfol driers are working with the plants from their own gardens, Jane says. For instance, Christine Johnson brought in more than 200 beautifully dried roses from her bushes last year. No one working on the project would try to list all the others. “It takes a lot of effort from a lot of people and sometimes most of it from a few,” Jane says. “Everybody has their thing and Flossie has been the guiding light.” Flossie’s Cellar In a stone basement that was excavated in 1757, 85year-old Flossie Williamson is practicing the art which started this whole thing. Flossie had a battery of lights for her herb business and says she has learned the dried flower processes from CULPEPER MOTOR’S SPRING SPECIALS OF NEW ft USED LAWN ft GARDEN TRACTORS ft EQUIPMENT 3 -12 H.P.

—lUppahanoock New* PbofcVUu Bute SPERRYVILLE’S HERB LADY, Sherrie Woodward, and a few of her plants. Herbs From The Garden Add Spice In The Kitchen By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Herbs are “in.” The advent of the new American cuisine — a bold approach to culinary arts that melds such unlikely skillet-fellows as classical French and Chinese with soft shell crabs, shad roe and other local, in season specialties — has boosted the stock of heibs. For years the province of gourmet cooks, French chefs and ^centric grannies who brewed homemade remedies, herbs began a comeback in general popularity wita the renewed attention to natural foods and improved diets. Health advocates, cutting down on salt to lover blood pressure, turned U herbs to accentuate fUvor. Those con cemed with the affect of caffine switched to herb teas and punches. But it was taste, not health, that sparked a wide spread resurgance of interest in these plants noted for their medicinal, savory and aromatic qualities. And with middle America’s reborn passion for fine foods, herbs promise to keep a tight hold on their place of prominence in the kitchen for years to come. Faith Mountain Herbs and Antiques in Sperryville has been on the herb bandwagon since it started to roll five or so years ago. Owner/manager Sherrie Woodward gained her expertise from Woodville’s famed herb lady, Flossie Williamson, who formerly grew plants for the National Cathedral’s PLANTING TIME IS HEREI ( Pines ^ Spruces i Dogwood jf Junipers and others Finest white pines in all of Northern Virginia.

Sherrie has widened her knowledge through independent research and practical experience to the point where she’s now recognized as an expert herself, lecturing and giving demonstrations at nearby colleges and tourist attractions such as Sully Plantation in Loudoun County. Her shop on the village main street smells of lavender, rose and geranium potpourries. In the back room, her staff of artists assemble the dried herb and flower decorations for the bonnets that have become Faith Mountain’s trademark. At the rear of the rambling white frame house, trays of herbs thrive on a greenhouse porch and in the backyard garden, seedlings poke their way up to the sun. “They’re slow this year,” she complained of the hardy herb perennials growing on the hillside. Sherrie attributed their delayed appearance to the long winter of 1983-84. “Usually, the shelves (in the greenhouse) are full by this time and the plants in the garden are four or five inches high. But I guess they know what they’re doing! With that snow last week, they’d be in trouble.” Now that she’s expanded her business to include a computerized mail order catalogue branch, Sherrie must buy the bulk of her herbs from other area gardeners. But the hill side behind the shop is still covered with plants; her own garden just doesn’t produce the volume to fill the orders that come in every day. However, she’s still the expert and growing the herbs is still her favorite part of Faith Mountain’s op-t eration. Sun Fanciers According to Sherrie, the first consideration in starting a herb garden is choosing a sunny, well drained spot. “They don’t like clay. Clay doesn t drain well. Remember the natural habitat of most herbs — the Mediterranean where they have a sandy soil and a dry climate. “Herbs are noted for growing in poor soil but from my own experience, the better the bed you give them, the better the herb plant you get,” she continued. Sherrie advised mixing building sand and humus into the garden spot to loosen the soil. The second step is picking the plants. Most are perennials. “Some are hardy — sage, tarragon, thyme, chives, parsley. They can be planted as soon as the weather breaks in the spring — April 15 or sooner. They can stand the cold and even a frost or two,” she said. Other perennial herbs — basil, dill, oregano and marjoram — fall into the tender classification. “Wait to pj&ot; tb*0*/untiLMay.l5r until-the' soil warms . up,” advised. Sherrie. Perennial plants come back every year. However, tender perennials won’t live through the Virginia winter. “They must be brought inside before the first frost and then set out in the spring. If you don’t want to do that, as summer winds down, you should pick off all the leaves to either dry or freeze,” she added. Seeds Or Seedlings? “Unless you have a green thumb, you’ll have a better success rate if you buy plants. Initially, it will be more expensive than growing herbs from seeds but the gratification will be immediate.” However, she noted a few exceptions. According to Sherrie, dill and chives are both relatively easy to start from seeds. “And parsley, though it takes a long time to germinate. You should dampen the seeds (Continued on Page 16) FUNIS r SOUTHERN STATES1 Front Royal Cooporatlvo Plants Front Royal, Virginia • 635-318 9 A Ctopfett Lint •fOrtlMPrMlwctt sT i Mm Maats POTATOES * ONION SITS f llplltl lt‘* ** u«« *"**t9n S-M-* II —m tf straw Nr—IcMi By T« —Vs «-*» *—*r~<inln,_ Hints From Small Farmers For Picking And Storing Veg^es 1. Pick gently and pack carefully to minimize bruising. 2. Remove tope from beets, radishes, and carrots. 3. Leave atems on peppers and eggplants. 4. Cool food fast.

Some vegetables keep best at 50 to 60°; others should be stored at temperatures dose to freezing. 6. Keep humidity high—about 90%—plastic bags are the easiest way. (Onions, pumpkins, and winter squash should be kept drier.) 7. Remember that vegetables are alive even after picking. They are still metabolizing and giving off moisture. It’s been said that “Short term storage is just gardening in the refrigerator.” DiyiDE YOUR VEGETABLES INTO THESE 6 GROUPS AND STORE AS FOLLOWS: 1. Lettuce, endive, spinach, greens: Store just above 32°. Do not allow to freeze. Wash before storing. 2. Com, asparagus, rhubarb, celery, peas, carrots, beets, radishes, turnips, dry onions, garlic, all cole crops: Keep cold but don’t wash. Do not husk corn. 3. Snap beans, cukes, summer squash, ripe melons, peppers, potatoes, ripe tomatoes: Store at 45 to 55° if possible. Lower temperature OK. 4. Winter squash, eggplant, pumpkins, sweet potatoes: Store at 50 to 60°. 5. Unripe tomatoes, unripe melons: These won’t ripen after they’ve been refrigerated. Store at 65 to 70°. Keep away from direct sun. Newsletter Offers Tips Home vegetable gardening starts in the spring, but dedicated gardeners are involved in year-round activities. “Virginia Gardener” is a monthly newsletter that features information on different activities of gardening. The monthly publication alerts its readers to the chores that need to be done during each month of the year. The Last Frost Instructions on seed packets often read “plant after the last killing frost.” For new gardeners who haven’t $een keeping track \ average last killing in Virginia’s mountain are v it falls between April 15 and May 10. Low lying parts of Rappahannock generally get a final frosting earlier, falling in line with the Piedmont area’s last average killing frost between April 5 and April 20. But remember, these are average dates and may vary due to local conditions and yearly weather fluctuations. Experienced Rappahannock gardeners advise that to be absolutely safe, don’t count on frost free nights until after May 10. r It is written specifically for Virginia’s climate and is attuned to changes in the weather in different parts of the state.

Small Farmers Have Big Plans For Market “One of our main goals will be to help growers with direct marketing,” explained T Reynolds, an organizer of Rappahannock’s newest agricultural venture, a Small Farmers’ Market scheduled to open Memorial Day at the Ice House in Washington. “The key to this thing is going to be providing variety and consistency so people can depend on having good foods available at reasonable prices,” said Lyt Wood, chairman of the marketing group. Current plans call for the Rappahannock Small Farmers’ Market to be open Friday afternoons, Saturday mornings and Sunday afternoons. In addition, members will have the option of joining in a cooperative effort to truck produce to other area markets on weekdays. “We’ll share the work and the expense of hauling and selling,” Reynolds said. To date, the Small Farmers’ Market has 12 members: Wood, Reynolds, Greg Foster, Bob and Jackie Wellemeyer, Diane and James Wood, Chris Bird, Mary Jane Cappello, Miriam Harris and Frank Reynolds. “We’ve got growers of all kinds of vegetables plus apples and fruit and members who will supply honey, fresh baked bread and pastries, jams and jellies, eggs, flowers and even beef,” the chairman said. “We’re not necessarily limiting ourselves to organic, natural produce but we’re looking real hard at the quality of what we will offer. And organic produce will definitely be available.” Wood added that the group is currently looking for growers who can promise green beans, potatoes , melons, limas, raspberries and blackberries. Different types of membershops are offered: producers may choose to bring their fruits and vegetables into the market for others to sell rather than taking a turn behind the cash register themselves. Anyone interested in joining should contact Wood through his Red Oak Forestry answering service at 675-3814. Right now, the Small Farmers are also in the process of hiring a manager for their market, someone to coordinate the cooperative trucking operation, supply local restaurants and other bulk buyers with information on what’s available from their market and handle other supervisory and organizational duties. “ We want this to help farmers who need a retail outlet for their produce, who don’t want to spend the harvest season - their busiest season - naming up and down the road, trying to peddle their produce," Wood said. “And we hope our Small Farmers’ Market will have a lot of extra nice touches that will make people glad they came and happy to do business with us,” added Reynolds. “We’re equally committed to serving the community and making quality foods available at reasonable prices,” the chairman concluded.

Davis Street • Culpeper FOOT FACTS Dr. Bruce Vogel “Corns can be permanently cured” Very few people realize the process involved in the formation of a corn. Many people come into a doctor's office with a request to have the corn removed. They do not understand that the problem is not in the skin alone. Depending on the location of a com, we may see a toe or a bony prominence changing ever so slightly in shape. This change can bring about a skin reaction to protect itself from too much pressure. The top layer of the skin (epidermis) begins to produce a material called keratin. This is the actual corn. It becomes so thick and hard that it sets up an inflammatory reaction around itself, and we feel pain. The treatments for a com can include the removal of rthe prominence beneath the com with a minor procedure, adjustment of foot gear, or periodic care to reduce the amount of keratin (usually in the elderly or for mild lesions). All are relatively pain free procedures. Or. Bruce I. Vogel, D.P.M., F.A.C.F.S.^ 8353 Sudley Rd. Manassas.

Rappahannock Journal Ar M •Farm •Business •Garden •Rural Life The Planting Of The Green: Replenishing The Tree Supply By MICHELE MAY *MMh«woch Nm Staff Writer For a few hardy men the Christmas season seems to start in March. These are the county’s tree farmers who care for the tiny seedlings from which future Tannenbaums will spring. The planting of the pines is the beginning of a time consuming process which takes several years to complete. As with other agricultural endeavors a sudden onslaught of unfriendly weather can ruin the whole thing. Local growers are planting extra seedlings this year to make up for last summer’s drought. Frank McWhirt of Amissville says he lost 46 percent of his trees. He had put in 234 last year of which he was replacing 91 this week. “I never had a drought like this before,” he remarked Monday, noting that the gravelly soil on some of his land won’t hold moisture. This made it especially hard on last yew’s batch of trees. “Yeah,” he repeats, “I didn’t like that drought.” The harsh winter was another worry. McWhirt points to what would have been a beautiful six foot tall Christmas tree at the top of FUNNIER LIVESTOCK MCORPORATED REGULAR SALES Every Tu—.

The tree might have been glorified with tinsel and angels next December had it not fallen victim to last winter’s ice storms. “The ice is giving them a fit,” he said, trying to push some crooked trees back up straight. This tree had cracked in half right in the middle. Some honeysuckle had squeezed and weakened the trunk first, making the tree an easy prey to the storm, McWhirt noted. “Honeysuckle is a Christmas tree grower’s worst enemy,” he added, “You pull them out twice a year pertineer. You fight them like a son of a gun!” Sometimes the farmers don’t know quite what hit. The trees just turn yellow and die. He points to one pale little pine. “Sometimes they never amount to anything — you can fertilize or whatever.” Other assorted disasters can befall a future Christmas tree, McWhirt adds. Sometimes the deer gather among the trees and the bucks scrape their antlers against the bark, leaving great bare spots, other times McWhirt himself is the enemy, bumping into the trees with his mower. For all these reasons and to replace those trees which actually ended up in living rooms last year, Christinas tree growers must plant new seedlings each spring. 500 Pines McWhirt bought 500 white pine seedlings from the state this year. It’s less expensive to buy them this way, he says; he paid $25 for the 500. Some of them he gave away to neighbors. Others he will plant in rows on a hill for sale several years from now. McWhirt has a total of approximately 1,500 trees on his 38 acres. He planted them all by hand. He’s been planting them for 10-12 years, he says, selling them for about five years. Last Christmas McWhirt sold nearly 400 trees, making him one of the county’s major choose-and-cut suppliers. It’s only been the past couple of years that he has reached such heights, however. McWhirt says he was previously selling 150200 trees a year. Although he belongs to the state Christmas tree growers’ association, McWhirt calls himself a “rank amateur.” He never attends association meetings but reads the books. “I hit or miss, I guess,” he says. Yet McWhirt says he has developed steady customers. Some of them have been coming back every year for five years, he says. Others have trees for next year already chosen. A very few Norway pines have been spoken for by special customers. They won’t be available to the general public next year because they take so long to grow, he says. They have to be 9-10 years old before he sells them, although he says some growers let them go at six or seven years old. He points out the most stately example of these in sight. This tree is being saved for a Gaithersburg beautician. She travels from Maryland each year to buy one of McWhirt’8 trees. "I figure I must be doing something right if they say I have the most beautiful trees,” he declared. Retirement Hobby What he does right amounts to spending about four months out of the year working with the trees, McWhirt says. New seedlings are planted in midMarch or early April. The stumps left from last Christmas are cut off even to the ground and left to rot. Then all the trees are primed and shaped in June. His farm is open daily during the two weeks before Christmas while most of the county’s other growers are open only for a few days or Growing Flowers For Fun (Continued from Page 6) J¥ locked /uyth^r, saw a whole circle of people staring down at her! — • . t« The List Grows Such embarrassments don’t discourage the faithful.

Dial 948-4010 THE SORTING OF THE SEEDS — Seed selectors Flossie Williamson and Martha Sutherland decide who gets to grow statice. Some don’t do straw flowers, they say. Certain others are brilliant about budding flowers that really need to be babied. Lewis have each promised to deliver two flats from their greenhouses. Flossie herself has pledged between 6-10. Jean Parrish also promised six just because “she loves to grow things.” James Wood thinks he’ll have at least that many. So do the Herndons. Flossie isn’t sure how Bill Young does it, but “Dr. Young grows beautiful ones.” All of these gentle gardeners will then turn over their wards “to transplanters who grow them and treat them tenderly.” There are at least a dozen people who help transplant, at least two dozen more who help dry the flowers. Then at least 30 people do the actual arrangements, according to Cathy Knuepfer who keeps the books from last year’s sale. “Some do as many as 60 — others two or three,” she says. “Some are real whizzes. Some are real artists.” Cathy also bears witness to the fact that many come but few leave. Even the teens of the church stop by the parish hall once or twice in the fall to try their hand at arranging. They are the churchmen who will run the dried flower sales of the future. And all because Dorothy Davis took a dried flower arrangement to the Thanksgiving dinner back in 1964. “Dorothy’s arrangements inspired me and she wanted my house on the tour,” says Flossie. That’s how it started. HUNT COUNTRY HOME HEALTH 1066 Halting!

This seedling will someday be a six foot tall Tannenbaum — weather willing. during the weekends. But all of this activity is really a retirement hobby for him. After 29 years with the federal government’s General Services Administration and another six years as an operating engineer for George Mason University, McWhirt was looking forward to the quiet life in Rappahannock. Now settled on a piece of his wife’s great-great-grandmother’s property on Route 6^1 off £il, McWhirt is quite contented with his Christmas tree business. However, he says he plans to slow down on the planting soon, especially of ' seedlings that take ten years to mature. “I’ll be 72 in December,” he says. “I don’t want to be 82 and selling trees — and especially not planting trees, that’s for sure.” But in the meantime, he says with a smile — “This keeps me young.” It does.

This palatable article tastefully proclaimed that, contrary to popular myths, beef is not loaded with fat, cholesterol, or calories. He documents his conviction by stating that: — A typical serving of beef contains approximately 7.5 percent of the cholesterol required daily by the human body. — Only 36 percent of the fat in U.S. food supply comes from beef, pork, poultry, and fish, while 42 percent comes from vegetable sources, such as oils, short- i ening and margarine. i — Three ounces of lean beef contains only approxi- . mately 169 calories. - WCC1 to U1UI c UI^COU~ ble than vegetables.

Panthers Best Strasburg In First Track Meet By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Nm SUfT Writer It was a gray day last Wednesday as rain forced postponement of season openers for Rappahannock’s girls’ and boys’ track teams. But the sun broke through in more ways than one oh Monday as the two Panther contingents downed perennial Bull Run powerhouse, the Strasburg Rams. “It was an excellent showing for our first meet,” said coach Ann Spieker. “I’m pleased with how hard our athletes tried.” She reported that 21 boys met the personal goals set for each by the coaching staff while 18 girls reached that same mark. The boys more than doubled the score of their visiting opponents, winning 94 to 42. Rappahannock swept the 300 hurdles with Jimmy Freeman first in 47.7 seconds, David Fischbein second in 49.2 seconds and Richard Trebino third in 50.1 seconds. The RCHS trio of Scott Keithley, Ronnie Atkins and Will Oliver also went one-two-three in the mile while Keithley, Atkins and John Dodson swept the two mile. This year for the first time, the Panthers have an entry in the pole vaulting competition. And what a performance Gary Jenkins turned in on Monday, clearing eight feet, six inches for first and beating the 1983 district champion in that event. James Dennis, running in his first race in his first track meet, took first place in the 400 meters, finishing in 60 seconds. Right on his heels at 60.7 seconds for second place was Chris Caperton. Caperton also was the winner in the 200 meters, running it in 26.2 seconds. Other top finishers for the boys’ contingent included: - 100 meters, Wayne Woodard first in 12.2 seconds, Garri Jackson second in 12.5 seconds. - 800 relay, Garri Jackson, Terry Jordan, Thomas Rector and Wayne Woodard first in 1:46. - shot put, Mathew Frye second with throw of 35 feet, 3 3/4 inches and Troy Jenkins third with 34 feet, 6 3/4 inches. - long jump, Andrew Ellis second with 17 feet, 1 1/2 inches and Dexter Freeman third with 16 feet, 4 1/2 inches. - triple jump, Thomas Rector first with leap of 36 feet, 3 inches, Clarence Pendleton second with 35 feet, 5 1/4 inches. - high jump, Clarence Pendleton second with 5 feet, 8 inches and James Dennis third with 5 feet, 4 inches. - high hurdles, Jimmy Freeman first in 18.86 sec rd Annual Shenandoa Apple Blossom 1 OK Ifc Road Race ^ Saturday, May 5th Shown a bo vo is MICHAEL MUSYOKI ol Konya, hoi dor of 3 World Rocords, winning tho 2nd Annual Shonandooh Applo Blossom 1PK Road Raco.

The Panthers girls also scored a sweep in distance events and relays. In the mile, it was Karen Ludwick (7:06), Marie Roemer (8:33) and Penny Atkins (8:35). Ludwick was again first across the line in the two mile, this time followed by Atkins and then Roemer. The foursome of Kathy Davis, Kelly Bristol, Shannon Watton and Raynetta Gheen took first place in the 400 relay in 58.2 seconds. Then Davis, Watton and Gheen joined with Annie Tupper for first in the 800 relay in 2:02. First in the mile relay went to the RCHS team of Denise Eidson, Ann Oliver, Kelly Bristol and Annie Tupper. Gheen’s first place leap of 15 feet, 10 inches in the long jump bested the performances of three Strasburg boys. She also grabbed a blue ribbon in the 200 meters (30.4 seconds). Marie Davis, contender at the Group A state championships last year, was back in the winner’s circle this season with her first throw of the discus (99 feet, 11 inches). Donna Williams was third with a toss of 74 feet, 4 inches. The two reversed places in the shot, with Williams taking second with a throw of 31 feet, 6 inches and Davis third with 28 feet, 9 inches. The rest of RCHS’s points in the 70-44 win over Strasburg came from: - high jump, Charlotte MaGee, 4 feet, 2 inches for third. - hurdles, Anita Del Grosso, 19.5 seconds for third. - 100 meters, Kathy Davis, 14.2 seconds for first,and Rox Cook, 15 seconds for third. - 400 meters, Denice Eidson, 1:12 for second. - 800 meters, Ann Oliver, 2:57 for second, and Anita DelGrosso, 3:39 for third. - 400 meters, Denice Eidson, 1:12 for second. - 800 meters, Ann Lliver, 2:57 for second, and Anita DelGrosso, 3:39 for third. Coach Spieker was quick to give some of the credit for the excellent early season performances of her track teams to assistant coach Greg Waters and special assistants Tim Williams, Doyle Dunn and Eugene Grigsby, graduates of last year’s squad. “The boys arrive at 3:30 every day to help coach and they’re doing an excellent job. Without the help we’ve gotten from these fine young men, coaching 39 boys and 22 girls on this year’s track teams would be difficult,” Spieker said. Netters Win Tennis Opener The Wakefield boys’ varsity tennis team opened its 1984 season with a home victory against Seton School from Manassas.

She’s Faye Crescenti , former site supervisor for the Senior Citizens Nutrition Program and a friend of Rappahannock’s older folks. Faye only runs one time a year and that’s in the fodderstack. As part of her “training,” before race day, she makes the rounds of county offices and businesses, buttonholing friends and strangers alike to ask for pledges. For every mile she runs, her supporters agree to give so much money for a special fund that permits bulk discount grocery purchases and pays for special trips for her special friends in the Senior Citizen Program. Once more, l m tutting the hills and hollows on behalf of my friends,” Faye announced this week. “Cold, rainy weather has prevented me from practicing over the actual course during March but I'll be out making up for lost time in the next three weeks.” She’ll wear the same tennis dress that was her running attire last year. It’s —Rappahannock News Photo/T Reynolds TIRED BUT SMILING at the finish of last year’s Fodderstack Race, Faye Crescenti has recovered and is again planning to run Rappahannock’s 10 kilometer classic from Flint Hill to Washington to raise money for her friends at the county’s Senior Citizen Nutrition Site. just about covered with the names of those who’ve pledged in the past. “But there is room for more names,” Faye pointed out. “I hope the response will h as good as in other years The revolving grocery fun< for the seniors plus the ac tivity account can use a little higher balance.” Others planning on competing in the Fodderstack for the hand crafted trophies awarded in a wide range of i categories should contact Diane Bruce during office 1 hours at 675-3621 for infor. mation and entry blanks.

Stocking Announced In-season trout stocking will begin the week of April 9 following the opening of the 1984 trout season in Virginia at noon on Saturday, April 7. Area streams scheduled to be stocked by the Virginia Game Commission’s Fish Division that week include Big Stoney Creek in Shenandoah County and Gooney Run in Warrpn P.nnntv Record Entries Announced For Old Dominion1 By CLIVE CARNIE ArumM N«w«pfm Cwwp—4mt When snow cancelled racing at Blue Ridge three weeks ago the Warrenton races the following week had record entries. This week the Old Dominion Hunt also has record entries following the cancellation of racing at Middleburg last week. A total of 133 entries has been made for the eight-race card to be held at Ben Venue Saturday at 1 p.m. The Henchman’s Lea hunter pair races start the day’s racing at 10 a.m., with 33 pairs entered. Adults will ride for optimum and fast time while juniors can ride for optimum. “Undoubtedly the large number of entries is mainly due to Middleburg’s cancellation,” said Judy Gilman, race secretary for the Old Dominion Hunt. “But I think we also attracted a lot by offering purses for some of the races. It was an extra bit of bait that I think people took.” The extra bit of bait is being given in the novice timber, maiden hurdle and open hurdle races, fourth, fifth and seventh on the card. A purse of $1,000 is being given for each race, 60 percent to go to the winner, 25 percent to second and 15 to third place. One of the purses is being donated by the Perrier drink company. Old Dominion has no open timber race to attract horses such as Cinzano, Private Gary or Snailwell, all of whom were designated to race in the Middleburg Bowl at Glenwood Park last week. Private Gary may be racing in the flat race, eighth on the card, but this is not a certainty. If he does he will be guided by Juliet Graham. The lVi-mile flat race has a total of 32 entries and will most likely be split. Other entries include Buckingham Farm’s Castelets, winner of a division of the flat race at Casanova and the maiden hurdles race at Warrenton, Nelson Gunnell’s Make The Move, first in a division of the flat race at Rappahannock, and Kevin Palmer’s Eagle Buster. A junior race begins the program and nine young riders have entered their horses and ponies. Amongst these are Dawn Dugan who will be running her Sharp Start that won the flat race at Rappahannock and also won the Warrenton old-fashioned point-to-point. The ladies timber race is second on the card and 13 entries have been made for this race. Patti Cassell will ride her Splashy Lea, winner at Rappahannock and leading race mare so far this season. Susan Sutula, who is tied with Ms Cassell for leading lady rider of Die year, has entered Trip Hoffman’s Honey’s Fuel, second in a division of the Warrenton Hunt Steeplechase and third in the ladies timber at Casanova, and Banachek II. In the owner-rider hurdle race, third on the card, 10 entries have been made. Charlie Fleischmann’s Lumbah Wallah, winner at Casanova and Warrenton, will be trying to beat Charles Owens’ Double Sparkle, winner at Piedmont. Randv r Waterman’s Regulo and Willie McCormick’s Rehab, second at Piedmont. A total of 19 entries has been made in the novice timber race. David Semmes, cochairman of the races, has entered his Supersonic, Charlie Fenwick has entered Cambriam Strike and Patti Cassell has entered her Cavalry Lover. In the maiden hurdle race there are 24 entries including Rag Time Knight, second at Piedmont, and Tyragon, second at Warrenton and third at Piedmont. The Arundel Newspapers sponsored Seven Corners owner-rider timber race has 10 entries. Charlie Wight’s Andy Kandy, winner at Casanova and third at Piedmont, will be battling against Don Yovanovich’s Never Time, second at Casanova, Rappahannock and Piedmont, and Randy Waterman’s Handy Hill. Other entries include Paul Cram el's Cookin’ N’ Lookin’ and Allen Olson’s Shandy. Seventh race on the card is the open hurdle race and 15 horses have been entered for this. The Ben Venue course in Rappahannock County is a picturesque one and seems to be popular among riders, according to Mrs. Gilman. “It is a nice free riding round course with no sharp turns,” said Mrs. Gilman. “It looks beautiful right now, and if the weather holds it should be a perfect day.” In between some of the races James Atkins, huntsman for the Old Dominion Hunt, will be giving a demonstration of how the hounds work out in the hunt field. Ben Venue is located on Rt. 729 west of Warrenton off Rt. 211. General admission to the races will be $3. ?7Ae ^Dadi/Zac ^Towuwwio (A SZZere... <^/oa are cordia//y inwted to ihmJ oar i/ioatrootn to inflect and drive t/ve a//-neat tyrant- 'tt&ee/ tyritte {padd/ac tye ^f//e<i andty/eetatood. jfac/c &1MZMA ZcA&uro/et V/7 foodi/Zac, Snc. 125 *yf (ZZloyti/ S&v&rtwe ^yonl^loyo/j rl/twjd/n*<i

It wasn’t so at first. The team from Rivershead High was way ahead at the end of the first half, Ann remembered. But that may have been just strategy on the part of the Panthers, designed to lull the competition into a state of blissful sleepiness. At least that’s what the local kids wanted people to think afterwards. If so, it worked. The Rivershead players were slower on the buzzer later in the evening and by the end of the toss-up round, Rappa hannock had won by 280180. It is now time for the local team to guard against over-confidence, says faculty advisor Roger Flinchum. For it was at this point last year that Rappahannock was eliminated. The Panthers’ Pop Quiz team had taken the first two of the five rounds, then lost during the third round of the quarter-finals. Flinchum will see to it that this year’s crack team composed of Ann and Will Oliver, Cheryl Achison and Jonathan Watson don’t go soft. He promises he will keep their brains well exercised between now and the next step towards the state championship.

According to rumors, the decision has already been made to use a trailer, Kramer said, asking exactly what is planned and where it will be placed. A trailer can only be temporary under the zoning ordinance, Kramer explained. If the board grants the special use permit and variance to expand the church, Burke still can’t move in a trailer, he emphasized. The Sunday school building will be used “maybe two or three years, maybe four depending on how we grow”, according to Burke’s testimony. Trailers are ordinarily approved by the BZA for temporary use while a permanent building is under construction. The Sunday school trailer will not be a trailer if it is placed on a permanent foundation, zoning administrator David Konick told the board. Besides, he said, the zoning ordinance section dealing with trailers is limited to homes and offices. A Sunday school “is not a temporary human habitation”, he said. “I think your interpretation is incorrect,” countered Kramer. “That’s not your decision today.” Konick explained the BZA must decide whether to grant a special use permit to expand the church. As zoning administrator, he will review plans and issue any building permit. If the BZA disagrees with his interpretation, it must appeal his decision and ultimately take the matter to circuit court. “What I hear is that not everything has been up on top of the table,” commented Kramer. “We’re trying to save the kids from having to go to hell,” Burke said. “We wouldn’t go against the law; that would be to go against God’s law.” A chorus of amens sounded from the row of spectators in the audiThe board voted to postpone a decision for one month to allow time to research the regulations regarding trailers, to possibly consult with the commonwealth’s attorney, and to receive a more complete site plan from the church.

Public comment on the question included objections from neighbor Vivian Gatewood and testimony from the pators of two other churches who felt that Gid Brown Bible Church needs more room. Sharon Luke, who was chairing the meeting in the absence of Lee Bird, had to repeatedly caution “No arguments!” as several angry outbursts broke out between Burke and Gatewood. Gatewood questioned the possibility of flooding in the area, whether the church holds clear title to the land and whether rest room facilities are planned for the Sunday school. How many people would the Sunday school building house? she asked at one point. “None of your business,” Burke answered. In other business, the boad approved a 1984-85 budget proposal totaling $4,000. That’s up $200 from the current fiscal year. The board will request an additional $300 to cover the cost of a court reporter to take minutes of meetings and, when necessary, provide transcipts. The meetings are taped and transcrips will only be made in event of legal action, chairman Lee Bird explained at a previous meeting. Travel expenses were deleted from the budget because board members have not been claiming expenses when they make site inspections. However, they asked an increase in their per diem for attending meetings. Their pay would rise from $20 to $25 for each session. The budget proposal goes to the Board of Supervisors for its consideration during budget review. Brown Joins Cosner Realtors Helen Button Brown has joined Cosner and Co. Realtors in Culpeper.

Herbs From The Garden Add Snice (Continued from Page 7) overnight before planting,” she added. (Diane Welty of Washington, another herb enthusiast, suggested pouring hot water in the furrow just before planting the parsley seeds to speed germination.) Herbs don’t require much fertilization. “Basil and chives are the only heavy feeders. I fertilize them lightly once a month,” Sherrie said. Seedlings should be given three weeks to establish themselves before picking begins. Plants grown from seed should be four or five inches tall. “Generally, you pick herbs to shape them, just like any other plant, snipping off pieces from the top to encourage branching out. The exceptions are parsley, chives and sorrel. Those should be picked from the base of the stalk. That sends a message to the root to grow another stalk and makes the plant bushier.” Favorite Herbs Sherrie lists 17 of her favorite culinary herbs and suggested uses on the chart she gives to customers who buy Faith Mountain plants: Basil — adds an excellent flavor to tomatoes (sliced fresh or in sauces), salads and stews. Chives — a delicate cousin of the onion, good for salads, vegetables, meat, cheese and egg dishes. Its beautiful pink flowers are also edible. Curry plant — gleaming silver foliage with the scent of curry. Sprigs may be used in meat and poultry dishes. Dill — seeds and leaves are used with fish and in stews, sauces, breads and pickles. Horseradish — the fresh root, grated with a little vinegar, makes a zesty sauce, delicious with roast beef. Lemon balm — brews into a delightful, fragrant tea. Delicious on fish or stuffed in chicken with a few slices of ginger root. Lovage - adds a celery flavor to soups, stews and salds. Sweet Marjoram —great for soups, sauces, stuffings and stews. Mints — leaves are used for teas, salads and summer drinks. Oregano — a necessity for spaghetti sauce, lasagne and other Italian dishes. Parsley — a popular seasoning and garnish, high in vitamins A and C.

Its fresh leaves steeped in vinegar make a wonderful marinade for fish. Thyme — a tasty addition to soups, sauces, stews and meat dishes. The lemon variety makes an excellent tea. Faith Mountain Herb Butter Blend V« cup unsalted butter or margarine with 1 teaspoon lemon juice (helps prevent herbs from darkening) and 1-2 tablespoons minced fresh herbs. The butter can be one flavor or a mixture of several. Choose from parsley, chives, basil, tarragon, sorrel or rosemary. Herb butter with mint as a single flavor is especially good with fresh peas or lamb. Alter Mending, the herb butter should sit for a few hours before it is used. Herb butter used as grease gives a dash to omelettes. The butter can also be frozen and saved for winter months when fresh herbs aren’t available.

From the audience, School Board member Nancy Reeve suggested that Gilkey review the repair project, adding that the Chester Gap contactor is more knowledgeable on construction and innovation than any of the School Board members. “Then maybe the board would feel more comfortable (in approving the roof repair work),” Reeve said. “I certainly would —absolutely,” Estes responded. “We had the same problem with the fire hall at Chester Gap,” Gilkey reported. “We ended up putting an A-roof on. It was the only way we could solve the problem.” Supervisor Lane, former memberof the School Board who has dealt with the roof issue in the past, volunteered to work with Gilkey. ‘This is ia serious problem. . .

Nature’s Foods will close at the end of April and has withdrawn its bid, the sheriff told the board. That leaves the Hampton Inn’s catering offer of $3 per person per meal (phis 30 cents for stryofoam containers) with a guarantee of 15 meals per week, Woodward said. “If that’s the only way we can go, looks like we’ll have to go that way,” said Supervisor Chairman J.R. Latham. Sheriff Woodward recommended a short term catering contract just in case it becomes possible to work out a less expensive way of feeding the county’s prisoners. Agreeing that the jail population can be expected to require at least the minimum of 15 meals per week guaranteed, particularly if that minimum can be based on a monthly average, the board voted unanimously to authorize Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke to negotiate a catering contact with the owner of the Hamp ton Inn. In other action, the supervisors: —passed a resolution giving the county’s Water and Sewer Authority power to require mandatory hookups in the area to be served by the Sperryville sewer system, —named Clerk Diane Bruce coordinator for the county’s self-evaluation handicapped access to public buildings and programs, a new requirement for receipt of federal revenue sharing funds, —authorised the commonwealth’s attorney to investigate the county’s insurance coverage and prepare policy specifications to advertise for bids for a five year period, —authorized Luke to inquire further into an offer to purchase for $1,000 a .33 acre lot near Amissville recently given to the county under the conditions that sale be conditional on acceptance of a 50 right-of-way deeded to the Highway Department and merger of the parcel with an existing lot.
