IS USPS 433380 14 Pajres THURSDAY, APRIL 12,19S4 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA Phone 673-3349 25* Rappahannock9s Economic Indicators: County’s Real Estate Business Is On The Upswing »y OTltMUiLL OTA I w BappahiiuiockNcw« SUIT Writer In other parts of Northern Virginia, the housing industry has taken a sudden upward surge since the economy is improving. But here in Rappahannock the market was never depressed. In fact, Piedmont Board of Realtors president Eileen Day says there’s always been a bigger demand than supply simply because Rappahannock is such a desirable place to live. “I find out when I go other places and say I’m from Rappahannock, people say, “Oh, that’s the place to be!’ ” she comments. “Out in Rappahannock people don’t have to buy. They’re doing it because they want to,” she adds. This is in contrast to the denser areas to the immediate east where people move to commute to D.C. or buy new homes to get out of crowded apartments and congested suburbs. In Rappahannock buyers have been traditionally weekenders and investors, she added. While Fauquier County currently faces a building boom on the “D.C. side of Warrenton" to house the commuters, Rappahannock has served for several decades as a rite for weekenders who want to get further away from the city for a few days on a regular basis. The transfers usually involve existing housing, Day noted. Unlike Fauquier where new houses are being clustered along Route 29 in subdivisions between Warrenton and New Baltimore, Rappahannock has no housing developments. Day explains that the considerable amount of building currently taking place is primarily being done by people who bought land earlier and are now constructing homes for themselves. In other counties, developers design houses or townhouse complexes intending to sell them. Day says she really prefers the “musical farms” situation in Rappahannock. She would rather help negotiate the transfer of existing homes and farms in the county than to see a developer come into Rappahannock and transform the farms into housing complexes. Day says she’s noticed a recent increased demand for homes in the village. Formerly newcomers all wanted to be “out in the country” she remembers. But “there’s more interest in small town village living now,” she says. The villages have universal appeal. They are attractive to parents raising small children as well as retirement couples, she says. People like being able to walk to the comer store, Day says. They like villages because they are “safe, quaint.” Another change is a migration from the west. People traditionally moved to Rappahannock from the east to get away from the city. Now they are coming from Winchester or West Virginia to get closer to D.C. Living in Rappahannock works especially well for those with flexible schedules who might only have to go to Washington a few days a week, Day explained. James Leake at Sperryville Realty says business was “very good this year and pretty good last year, too.” In fact, Leake says he’s had “more inquiries about real estate this year than anytime since 1978 — and that was the best year ever.” Leake says he has “a lot of prospective buyers at this moment.” These people are coming from everywhere, he says. He’s heard from Florida and New York. “It looks like people from all over the East Coast want to come to Rappahannock.” He’s heard from the Mid-west, too, he added, and even from Texas and California. When he got a letter from England recently, he really knew the county’s fame had spread far. And from the way the phone was ringing "here about a month ago it made you feel you were back there” in 1978. There’s only one problem with all this. “We need listings. The people are coming out and looking to buy.” While Leake feels refreshed by the brisk market, he wasn’t as badly discouraged by the recent recession as brokers in other counties. The high interest rates of two years ago definitely decreased the number of his sales, but “we had quite a few cash buyers looking for bargains during that period and got them.” Leake says the weather has hindered some of his prospective buyers from seeing houses, but the spring will bring them to Rappahannock in greater numbers. (Continued on Page 14) Showers Bring Hail Stones Channel 4 personnel would really need to worry if they called Sperryville weather watcher Dennis Wingfield and he said, “I can’t talk to you right now. I’m busy building an ark.” Maybe his news wasn’t that dramatic when they called a week ago Wednesday to check on the area’s first big April shower. In fact, when Wingfield reported 42/100ths of an inch of rain that afternoon, he says the television meteorologist “sounded disappointed.” Still, there were a total of 2.10 inches of precipitation through the first four days of the month. That may be a short time on which to base any predictions, but Wingfield says it’s already 2Vi inches wetter than last year “which was also a wet spring.” It was so wet that by late last April the streams had overflowed, water had risen a foot around the doorsteps of several Washington residences and Rappahannock gardeners stared in dismay at soggy plots. The ground just wouldn’t dry out long CLEAR SKIES, WARM TEMPERATURES, sunshine and spring breezes combined to dry the ground this week at least enough for Given Parsons of Washington and other Rappahannock gardeners to get out their hoes and tillers. Unfortunatelyimost farm fields remained too wet to plow as this April promises to be fftm rainier than last year’s,, enough for planting. Wingfield’s records show eight days in a row of measurable rainfall last April. And last week when the rain continued on Thursday, nobody wanted to better that record this year. A local radio announcer reported an ominous condition he called “variable cloudiness.” There was a 70 percent chance of showers during the rest of Thursday, he said, a 50 percent chance of showers Thursday night and a 40 percent chance of showers for Friday. At least the odds were declining. Quipped the announcer, “If it’s true what they say about April showers, we ought to be surrounded by flowers.” A surplus of flowers failed to appear. The showers only brought bizarre behavior from the weather. In Sperryville the temperature fell from 57 degrees to 51 in less than 15 minutes. Then al most as suddenly, it cumDed back to 56. After that there was more thunder and more lightning, but no rain. At the same time, Amissville was being pelted with huge rain drops and hail stones, too. And still the sun kept winking frortj behind the clouds cresting the Blue Ridge as though it was epjoying an enormous but rather late April Fool’s Day joke. The jester relaxed and (Continued on Page 11) Sursum Corda Seeks County Support Sursum Corda, the Child Care and Learning Center, “provides a lot more value to this community than a lot of people realize,” announced Supervisor Clarence Baldwin after listening to a presentation at April’s board meeting. “I know mothers who would be on public assistance but instead are able to work because they can take their children there. I’ve seen children before they’ve gone to Sursum Corda and then after they’ve been there a while and the difference is like night and day,” Baldwin said, maintaining that the day care center starts youngsters in the right direction towards good citizenship. In addition, he said, Sursum Corda provides jobs for local people. “It has a lot more benefit to the community — both short and long term — than a lot of people realize," the Hampton District supervisor repeated. His remarks came after a request from the Child Care and Learning Center for monetary and philosphical support. Linda Dietel, chairman of the center’s building fund, asked the board for an allocation of $1,000 from the 1984-86 budget. The build Arundel Won’t Run Arthur W. Arundel of The Plains has withdrawn his name from consideration for the Democratic Party’s nomination in the 7th Congressional District. Arundel, publisher of The Rappahannock News and four other newspapers in the Piedmont region, cited his “overriding public commitment to Great Meadow,” a new 600-acre nonprofit turf and field events center under construction in Fauquier County, as the reason for his decision. Expressing gratitude for the “kind encouragement” of Democratic party leaders and others who suggested his candidacy for the seat of retiring Rep. J. Kenneth Robinson (R-Va.), Arundel ■aid he had concluded “it would be wrong for me to plm^o even a perception of politic*! conflict upon Great Meadow.” Created and headed by Arundel, the center will be the 1985 home of the Virginia Gold Cup races and other large non-profit field events. “This election,” he added, “is entirely winnable by a moderate to conservative Democrat this year. It is, because of Great Meadow, not my year. Speaking for myself, not my newspapers, I would expect to support whomever the Democrats nominate for this seat previously held and long honored by Democrat Howard W. Smith of Fauquier.” Arundel has been active in Virginia politics since heading the Virginia campaign of assassinated presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy. ing that now houses the center is “very inadequate and becoming increasingly so,” Dietel said. “We can better meet the needs of the community with a bigger and better facility.” Camille Harris, founder and director of the center, added that the demand for enrollment at Sursum Corda is ‘much, much more...than we can supply in our current facility.” In response, non-profit day care center’s board of directors has purchased land for a new building and launched a fund drive to pay for construction. Dietel told the supervisors that the incounty goal is $50,000. (To date, $45,000 has been raised locally in the 11 months since the drive began. In addition, the Grove Foundation has pledged $75,000 in a challenge grant towards the estimated $200,000 total for the project.) In asking for $1,000 from the supervisors Harris said, “The money is important. But it’s even more important for us to be able to say we have the support of our county government.” She explained that the board of (Continued on Page 14) 1984 Stickers Due The offices of Treasurer and Commissioner of Revenue will be open this Saturday, April 14,. from 8 to 11:30 a.m. for sale of Rappahannock County stickers for 1984.

Recently, the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department’s Ladies Auxiliary handed the fire fighters a check for $1,000—money raised in a series of country suppers. Last weekend, the annual Miss Rappahannock contest earned a similar amount for the Rescue Squad’s account. Now this Saturday, April 14, another fiind raiser to benefit both emergency service units is planned. Activities will get underway at the Emporium at 9 a.m. with a yard sale and bake sale. The money making effort will be capped by a boxed ham and chicken dinner served from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. on the Emporium grounds. Cost is $6 for adults, $3 for children under 12.

Supervisors 1 ake A Closer Look At School Budget Roof Repairs, Index Pay Scale, RCIIS Expansion By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock N«w» Staff Writer At a work session in the high school library Tuesday, the Rappahannock supervisors gave their blessings to a $3,000 addition to their emergency repair authorization for the roof in the county elementary school’s north wing, raising the total cost to $30,000-131,000 and adding a picthed roof. In opening the joint session with the supervisors, School Board Chairman Beverly Massie said,“This is • rest first far ■s..,||aim||o«l- -, tant meeting, net just for „ this bqdgetbut far future budgets.” f Superintendent Robert Estabrook echoed her sentiments :“We have nothing to hide in our budget...By talking over our joint sources of pride and concern, I think the children of Rappahannock County will be better served.” The amenities disposed of and the stage set for a close look at the requested 1984-85 school budget that calls for a 29 percent increase in local funds, architect Lowell Baughan reported on changes in the proposed emergency roof work at the elementary school arrived at following his meeting with Board of Supervisors’ representative Hubert Gilkey.Plans call for stripping away all the insulation from the north wing roof. “It’s all saturated,” the architect explained. With the old, water-logged insulation removed, new rigid insulation will be added with an extra styrofoam layer beginning at 1 1/2 inch thickness and building to a thickness of 5-51/2 inches at the roofs ridge. That will provide a pitch of 1/8 inch, enough for water drainage, Baughan said. Over top of the insulation will come the new roof, essentially a rolled on membrane that will be blasted with a torch to weld seams . together, Baughan continued. Passing around an example of the roofing material, he described it as a fiberglass mat with a bituminous surface and a polyester core. The material has been used for years in Europe and more recently has gained acceptance in the U.S. He maintained that it would hold up even on a dead flat roof surface and reminded the School Board and Board of Supervisors that it comes with a ten year guarantee. “On a pitched roof, it will last even longer, past the guarantee,” Baughan added. Addressing the emergency situation that exists today with portions of the elementary school’s roof, the architect attributed the Crisis to blistering that dammed up water on the surface. The more the water dammed up, the more the roof blistered. “It just compounded the problem.” When he asked the supervisors last week to guar —Rappahannock Newt Photo/D Hutchinaon BUCKETS TO CATCH THE DRIPS from the leaky roof are familiar sights in the north wing classrooms of Rappahannock County Elementary School. an tee funds in the upcoming school budget for the emergency roof repairs, Estabrook estimated cost at $27,760. With the changes to give the repaired roof pitch, the price will go up to $30,000-131,000, he reported, asking for assurances that the board's approval still holds. “I recommend we go ahead with the styrofoam to give it the proper slope,” said Supervisor Gilkey. “I think it will be to our benefit in the long run.” Referring to the board’s earlier resolution to authorize the emergency work as long as Gilkey, who is also a contractor, okayed the plans, Chairman J.R. Latham confirmed that the School Board could proceed with issuing a contract for immediate repairs on the elementary school’s north wing. for the handicapped, offices for two coaches, a health classroom, boys’ and girls’ lockers, showers and toUets, storage area and a “health corrective” area that can be divided by partition into a small health classroom and a physical education room for handicapped students. science room divided into laboratory and lecture sections. The proposed expansion plan also calls for three classrooms to be built over top of the new library. According to the architect, the construction can be completed in two phases with the gym built first to provide space while the remodeling is going on. “It’s a concern,” assistant superintendent Tom Campbell acknowledged, referring to the perception that the expansion program puts athletics before academics. “But it makes more sense to build the gym first,” he added, Massie noted that in the current gym, there’s only 30 inches between the basketball backboards and the wall; the new gym will provide eight feet. “We do have mats on the walls now but it stiU isn’t enough. We worry about the children running at great speeds and hitting those mats,” she said, stressing safety hazards the current lack of space presents. In addition to improved features for student safety, the new gym will allow for better educational programs by providing space for two basketball courts for use in physical education classes, according to Estabrook. That additional space “will enhance community use, too,” added RCHS principal Robert Chappell. “And having two basketball courts that can be used at the same time will give better access to intramural RCHS Expansion While there was no strong positive response to an explanation from Baughan of expansion proposals for the county high school, neither did the supervisors show any negative reaction to the $836,000 capital outlay program. The construction and renovation package centers on a new pre-engineered metal gymnasium, 176 feet by 90 feet, with masonry eight feet up from the ground, inside and out. “All in all, the life expectancy of the (pre-engineered metal) building should be compatible with other types of construction,” the architect assured the supervisors. The proposed gymnasium will provide seating for 750, public toilets with facilities A LITTLE IRONY on an RCES bulletin board. Teachers and students are in agreement that water in the classroom is water they can live without. The existing gym will be divided into a library that provides half again as much space as the RCHS library now has. The other half of the old gym with the stage will be remodeled into a small auditorium with permanent seating and some improvements for theater productions. Remodeling will also add guidance offices and toilets for handicapped students, expand the cafeteria to provide seating for 200 and add more storage space and a walk-in locker in the kitchen. The existing library will be transformed into a sports for all our children, Massie noted. Hitting other highlights of the expansion program, the architect reported that the proposed gym is planned to have a seamless vinyl floor, a type now used commonly by colleges, particularly for multi-purpose floors. On playing surfaces, the vinyl will be cushioned; in the rest of the new gym, it will be placed directly on concrete.lt gives the same resiliency as wood and can be installed for “about the same amount as buying wood,” Baughan said.

LINDA KLINE was a busy and popular woman backstage at the Miss Rappahannock Beauty Pageant. The Mary Kay Cosmetics consultant used her make-up artistry to make lovely young ladies even lovlier. Walkers Seek Pledges Rappahannock walkers will start around the exercise trail at the county park at 10 a.m. on Saturday, April 28, then wind through the town of Washington and back for another trip on the trail. They'll make the three mile circuit to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. “There are some 30,000 children and young people in this country who need our help in the fight to eradicate cystic fibrosis,” said Jinnie Beattie, Washington resident who is organizing the local walk-a-thon. “While we go about our business of work and play, these kids are struggling everyday just to eat and breathe. The best way to help them is by raising as much money as possible for more research and treatment programs. ” Swain explained that participants in the walk-athon recruit as many spon sore as possible to pledge money for every mile they complete. Proceeds will help support research to find a cure or control for cystic fibrosis and finance a nationwide network of clinics that specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. (The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation receives no government support and relies solely on contributions from the public for its programs of research, care and education.) Following the walk-athon, refreshments will be served to participants at the Rappahannock County Parks’ pavillion on Route 211 across the highway from the town of Washington. To sign up for Rappahannock’s Cystic Fibrosis fund raiser, or for additional information call Jinnie Beattie at 987-8289 days or 675-3190 evenings. Griper’s Day There’s probably some connection. April 15, the date most people recognize as the deadline for turning in federal income tax, is also National Griper’s Day, according to Chase’s Annual Events calendar. So now folks can legitimately mark both occasions by complaining all the way to the post office. Estate WHAT HAPPENS WHEN RATES DROP? The housing market has taken a radical change. Forty years ago, the mortgage interest rate was basically level. Buyers went from bank to bank trying to obtain a V*% interest advantage. Today, we have to live with huge spikes in interest rates which can fluctuate radically each year. We all know what happens when interest rates skyrocket. Homes are harder to sell, a larger percentage of homebuyers no longer qualify for mortgages. This in turn creates a backlog of buyers waiting for rates to drop. Economists call it “pent-up” demand. What happens when banks have a surplus of money to lend and interest rates drop? Millions of prospective buyers suddenly surge into the home-buying market. This creates a growing demand for housing. And with growing demand follows a growing price increase. Some experts predict that the median price for a new house in 1990 will be over $150,000. If you agree, the time to buy is NOW!

Dance The LAST MINUTE WOOD COMPANY, Rappahannock County’s modern dance troupe, is starting work on a new piece of dancer/theater. SALLY NASH, the group’s director, is experimenting with bimonthly meetings: to acquaint potential dancers with the group’s process, to try out new movement material that she has developed on herself and to gather material from improvisational structures based on the concepts she is .currently exploring. The group’s most recent piece, “Seen Through Moving Water,” is loosely based _bn poems bv Steve Orien and took a ydfcr to complete. It has been performed in a Maryland streambed, twice in Washington, D.C. and in the county. Ms. Nash says, “I am going slowly with the initial stages of this piece, exploring a dialogue between two ways of creating. One starts with an idea and finds movements to express it. The other starts with spontaneous movements and discovers their common conceptual thread. ” Crafts The RUSH RIVER COMPANY has a wide variety of handcrafts from local artists. In addition to handweaving, comhusk dolls and hand-stenciling, some special creations are currently on display: JUNE JORDAN’S new direction in pottery, a collection of birds - exquisitely detailed in form, face and feather - including a goose, an eagle, a kite and stately “Rooster Bob”; a group of arresting portraits of children, mothers and children and cats by SUSAN REED in Early American Primitive style, each with an intricate stendled-wallpaper background; and the popular pottery of JANET BROME, featuring her unique orangeglazed and humorous animal imagery. Performance The WAKEFIELD TALENT SHOW spotlighted the ability and hard work of many students. The judges selected two first place winners who were outstanding for their originality from a choice of excellent singing, dancing and piano playing. JASON SCHULTZ, a first grader, did a stand-up comedy routine of his own creation, in which a substitute teacher, “Jason the Joker”, tries to win his class’ attention with his witty twoliners. Jason’s favorite: “How do you milk a cow?” “One way or the udder!” LOREN SCIURBA won first place in the Upper School. Loren had planned to perform a song along with three others. However, sickness and miscommunication had combined to leave him with no fellow singers and no accompaniment. ] Rather than abandon his performance, he substituted Bob Dylan’s song “Tangled Up in Blue” at the last minute for his own original hit “Terminal Desire” (co-authored with Chris Ralph). He sang a cape 11a and performed a vocal imitation of Dylan’s inimitable mouth harp. Musicians rarely attempt ' to duplicate Dylan’s kound even with a hatp in hahd. This talented young performer may be seen the first weekend in May among the cast of “WHERE I’M COMING FROM.” RAAC Pet Show Will Be More Fun Than Competitive “Oh, this show isn’t as competitive as it will be fun. Everyone will receive an award—we’re just after amusement” said chairman Sandra Cartwright-Brown of the RAAC Pet Show to be held Saturday, April 21, after the Fodderstack Race awards are presented. Thus far the show has great promise. Bogart, a pit bull who is winner of load and national Ugly Pet awards, will be given a run for the money by a one-eyed English bull dog owned by the master of ceremonies, Larry LeHew. The judges will be hard pressed to declare which of these two is the ugliest. It sounds as though Hugo, a cross breed owned by Eric Kvames of Gid Brown Hollow, will walk away with the Best Tricks category—if not that, then the Most Tricks category. Hugo will demonstrate Ids skills at begging, rolling over, standing at attention and saluting, wearing glasses, addition, jumping through a hoop and “dropping dead” on command. Thus far, the only singing dog to have surfaced is Artoo, a German Shephard belonging to Angela and Davy Houston of Amissville. Artoo sings when accompanied by a clarinet or any high pitch. Joe Sherman of Etlan was asked about a singing dog and volunteered “No, I don’t have one—but I may be able to find you a dancing rabbit.” Worden Robinson of Nethers Mill was asked to enter his geese (they come in pairs) but he doubted he would be able to catch them. He is considering entering a handsome 14” white trout. “As long as they are alive, we welcome any contestant” reports the chairman, “and surely any trout, regardless of color, is bound to win the Best Trout award”. Cosie, a cat belonging to Diane and James Wood would undoubtedly win the Only Three Footed Cat award if entered in the contest. Dorothy C later reports being the custodian of eleven cats (since it can be disputed if anyone actually “owns” a cat) all of whom would win awards if entered. She reports that one of her cats is losing his hair and might qualify as The Baldest Cat or The Most Unique Pet award since hairless cats do seem to be a rarity in these parts. Alan and Sharon Cohen, weekenders, told the chairman they have an Afghan but that he wasn’t considered show quality. “If he’s alive and can make an appearance, he’ll qualify for this show” answered LeHew. “He'll probably win the Dog with The Longest Hair award, if not the Best Afghan category, or Largest Dog category. If nothing else an Afghan would be a shoo-in for Dog With the Most Pointed Nose.” LeHew, who is Joint Master of the Hounds with the Rappahannock Hunt, plans to wear hunt attire in honor of the occasion. The pet show will be held in the lot adjacent to the Rappahannock National Bank on Gay Street in Washington Virginia. Competition will probably be stiffest for the Best Dressed awards. Contestants in the Best Dressed Cat, Dog, Chicken, Goose, Horse, Pony, or whatever categories are being encouraged to enter the show; the $1 entry fee will benefit RAAC (Rappahannock Assn, for the Arts and The Community). Daphne Hutchinson promises to dress her dog for the Best Dressed award. Patty Myers has been seen in Flint Hill in the company of a well dressed pink flamingo who, unfortunately, does not qualify as a contestant for this particular pet show by virute of being plastic. If anyone has a live flamingo they would like to enter, Patty has the clothes and glasses to fit. Well dressed flamingoes apparently like ankle bracelets, it seems. There have been several reports of dogs that sing or yodel. However, the owners have doubts the dogs would perform on command in public. The Pet Show Commitee urges everyone to overcome their inhibitions about coaxing recalcitrant animals into a performance—after all, “Your performance will be half the show” says avid committee worker Cindy Mahan. ' Registration forms are available from either Cindy Mahan (987-8067) or Sandra Cartwright-Brown (9878025). NO TROUBLE IN GUESSING THE WINNER HERE. He’s the one holding the envelope and wearing the big grin. Judges were hard pressed to decide which of the pint sized gentlemen deserved first place but after consultation, they awarded the honor to Eric Jenkins (right). Jeff Atkins (center) and Anthony Hawkins weren’t too sure what they thought about that announcement.

They feel that they would prefer to do it themselves as the doctor hurts more. They feel that the medical costs today are too high. They don't need a doctor when they can do it themselves. There are many dangers in this type of thinking. Most important of all, patients cannot diagnose their illnesses or the adequacy of their circulation, two factors which are very important in healing. Secondly, they cannot repair an ingrown nail or other problem as adequately or correctly as a physician. Lastly, they are not using sterile instruments despite the fact that they use disinfectants of alcohol. Horne disinfectants do not kill all forms of organisms. Remember, they are the only feet you have. Don't abuse them. . _ Dr. Bruce I. Vogel, D.P.M., F.A.C.F.S.^ 8353 Sudley Rd.

Published by Warren ton Pnnting & Publishing Company, Inc. Member. Audit Bureau of Circulation The School Budget Last week, the Rappahannock supervisors received their copies of the proposed 1984-85 school budget. There was little reaction to the funding. The supervisors voted unanimously to guarantee an estimated $28,000 from next year’s budget to pay for emergency roof repairs needed immediately at the elementary school. Otherwise, they said nothing. However, we can expect plenty of gulps when the board takes a hard look at the figures. As proposed, the 1984-85 school budget has a bottom line of $2,629,155, 12 percent more than this year’s $2,354,662. That will be difficult enough to get down for board members known for their fiscal conservatism. But they may choke when they calculate that local funds required to support proposed school expenditures will climb by 29 percent from $1,070,866 appropriated in 198384 to $1,385,863 requested for next year. We hope that instead of getting lumps in their throats, the supervisors will take a second look, think about the reasons for the increase, swallow hard and approve what the School Board has asked for without cuts. TheRoof The supervisors last week okayed $28,000 to pay for emergency repairs to the elementary school roof. The amount is just a drop in the bucket compared to what the School Board has requested to complete work that is intended to halt leaks once and for all. The budget for 198485 contains $110,000 total for the RCES roof repairs project. Subtract that amount and the increase in local funds called for in the proposed budget would be 18 percent. It’s time to abandon half measures. Anyone who doubts that the “patch-a-bit-here” and “patch-a-bitthere” approach has failed should visit the elementary school. After last week’s rain, a comer of classroom 19 was crowded with 18 cans and buckets catching drips. “We move everything to one side and then the leaks start somewhere else,” reported one teacher. Other teachers said their students complained of headaches from the smell. It was indeed overpowering, a noxious mixture of rotting insulation and disinfectant. Despite the herculean early morning efforts of janitors, water still stood in pools in classrooms, hallways and bathrooms by afternoon. In several rooms, ceiling tiles have been removed, exposing the “innards” of the roof. In many others and in the halls, more tiles are stained and marked by water seepage. That’s in the north wing, the section guaranteed emergency repairs. There are other emergencies-inthe making. Rugs are rolled back and buckets positioned in the library to catch leaks after every rain. Additional buckets are scattered around the entry foyer. Walls in classrooms around the building show signs of less serious leaks. In the past, roof repairs have been handled in piecemeal fashion in order to spread the expense over several years. If that approach continues, we foresee more emergencies in the future. High School Expansion While the RCES roof deserves high priority, we hope the long delayed expansion of the high school isn’t sacrificed for the repair project. The proposed 1964-86 budget includes $53,634 under architectural services for drawings and detailed cost analysis. It’s a start towards a capital outlay progress that was first justified in 1976. The high school has been overcrowded since the day it opened. Few will dispute that fact. In the current year, enrollment stands at 420 in a building with classroom space for 386 and base facilities (cafeteria, library, bathrooms, office and storage) designed for 286. Teachers move from room to room depending on the enf v rollment in a particular class; sick children wait to be taken home behind a screen in the home economic class; science rooms lack gas and water for student experiments. A few years ago, the School Board voted to expand educational offerings, most notably adding academic English for eighth, ninth and tenth graders. But with every room then used every period of every day, there was no class space. The new courses were scrapped. There are those who claim that the county’s declining school population makes additional space at ECHS unnecessary. We’d like to point out projections from the professionals at the Virginia Department of Planning and Budget included in the county’s comprehensive plan adopted in 1981. The experts foresee our school population dipping slightly until 1965 and then gradually increasing again. The estimates for increased school population appear logical, especially when viewed next to actual figures and projections for Rappahannock’s population as a whole. According to the U.S. Bureau of Census, the county’s population steadily declined between 1930 and 1970, dropping from 7,717 to 5,199. But census figures showed an increase to 5,745 in 1975 and the upward climb continues, topping 6,000 in 1980. It stands to reason that with more people, we’re going to have more children. Te«cher Salaries The largest chunk of the proposed school budget, $1,455,517, falls under the instructional category which includes teachers’ salaries. The total for teachers’ salaries shows a 7.5 percent increase over the previous year, an increase deserved and earned by the teachers. Last year, teachers in Rappahannock received starting salaries that ranked 90th out of 135 school divisions and maximum salaries that ranked 117th. In both categories, local teachers fell below their peers in most nearby jurisdictions. In order to retain and attract good teachers, the county must at least maintain its relative standing, if not improve what it offers in teacher compensation compared to other localities. In addition, state employees will get pay raised of 9.6 percent next year. It’s only fair that salaries given teachers keep pace. After all, teachers must not only earn professional certification to get their jobs, they must periodically update that certification to keep their jobs, a requirement that does not apply to most other public employees. A Lesson At a time when school costs are climbing, the basic aid Rappahannock receives from Richmond will drop five percent between 1983-84 and 1984-85. For years, the county has ranked near the top in ability to pay for education in the state’s estimation and near the bottom in effort. We may quarrel with the formula that determines ability ranking, a formula based 50 percent on land values as determined by sales, but it’s the formula that applies across Virginia, affecting every county equally. Cutting the school budget (which accounts for about 80 percent of the demand for local tax revenue) to keep the real estate levy here one of the lowest in the state has made Rappahannock responsible for an increasingly larger share of educational expenses. In the long run, it’s still the local tax payers who must count out the dollars, if not this year, then in the future when the state reimbursement formula is adjusted to reflect our lack of effort. Cutting the proposed school budget to lower the county's share of educational costs in 1984-86 will only mean our share will be even larger in the years to come. More importantly, any cuts to the already “bare bones” budget will lower the quality of the educational programs we provide for our children. T Support Quality Education To the editor Seeing that it’s the eye of contract renewal time and being an untenured teacher, perhaps this letter is somewhat risky for me personally, but I feel that my pride as a teacher at Rappahannock County High School makes this necessary. I have too long read comments about the lack of quality education in our school and to simply let them go by unanswered may indicate an apathy on behalf of us educators with the situation. With this in mind as well as the High School Expansion Project being discussed, I would like to state a case for the vital expansion project in the area of science. An essential part of any science curriculum is the lab work that enhances the lecture material. It gives relevance and develops lab skills and critical problem-solving thinking. Lab work in the two classrooms now designated for science is virtually impossible or at best, quite limited. SPACE for lab work is vital. Within a fifty minute time frame, students must get materials to use in the lab, do the experiment and clean up at the end. In such crowded classrooms as we have, increased time must be alloted for 20-30 students to move about to get materials and clean up. Then when actually performing the experiments, we are hampered by desks which, by necessity, are cramped close together. Add that to one source of water in the room and the situation is compounded. (The water source, by the way, was a luxury afforded to Biology in the past two years. Prior to that, I understand, a garden hose was run across the hall!) Even under the strictest direction and monitoring, lab work is indeed a chaotic situation. Labs that can be done under these restricted conditions must also be restricted. As an example, the bumping of a table that may cause spillage must be taken into account when choosing labs. This is hardly the criterion upon which certain types of experiments should be chosen. Of course, always foremost, there is safety to be considered. So with what does this leave us? Students leave our schools with underdeveloped lab skills. This is not from poor teaching, but from doing the best and safest teaching possible under these poor conditions. Another shortcoming is shortage space. Should we miraculously have an unlimited budget to purchase materials, where will they be stored? Every inch of apace is now utilized to its maximum and materials that could be purchased with our budgets often are not for lack of storage space, hence building and modernizing our curriculum is again limited. Speaking of modernizing, is the public aware that in two science rooms propane torches must be used as heat sources as gas is not available? For safety’s sake, these are used just by the teachers for demonstrations, but there again are vital lab skills that students can’t develop, due to simply not having accessible Bunsen burners. When accom mentations are made for students to have access to gas in the tab, this robs another teacher of his classroom for preparation of tabs during his planning period. Hence fewer tabs for other classes. It’s always the case of “robbing Peter to pay Paul!” For the sake of brevity, I shall limit my list of complaints and let the above stand as samples of the frustrations that many of us are feeling here at the high school. But in spite of all this we are doing our very best. We compensate again and again and when we see no improvement, the frustration mounts. A question recently asked was, “How well have you used the money we have approved for you in the past?” My answer is, far better than one could ever imagine! We here at RCHS are working up to our potentials to provide a “quality education” given, at best, the mediocre eendMons under which we are working. I, as well as many others, am proud of what we are doing, but we are also aware that we could do better under better circumstances. So to improve the school for your children, it is going to take your support of the school budget. The public hearing is on 23 April at 7:30 at RCES and without your commitment, the improvements may not be made. Please come and support quality education for your children. SUSAN M. BLOSS Biology teacher Fireman Answers Irwin’s Questions To the editor I would like to address some of the issues raised about the Rappahannock County Volunteer Fire and Rescue Association’s plans to build a four-story training tower on the training ground in Amiss ville. (March 29 issue of the Rappahannock News). The training tower is a serious matter for fire and rescue personnel and is a major stepping stone in being able to provide an “adequate” level of training for emergency volunteers. Mr. Phil Irwin of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection stated he had seen a similar tower at Blue Plains where Washington, D.C., firefighters train. The training tower he is speaking of is on the Maryland side of Washington, D.C. He asked for the location of the nearest facility where Rappahannock firefighters could receive this type of training. To be specific in answering there is no such training tower now located within the fivecounty Planning District. The nearest are in Fairfax, the city of Winchester, the city of Fredericksburg and the city of Harrisonburg. Mr. Irwin questioned whether training in rescue from two and three story buildings is “really a necessary ingredient for fire fighting experience.” As a Virginia Certified Fire Training Instructor and from my own personal experience in combatting fires for 17 years, training in search and rescue ladder I training, fire hose training, fire stream training, training in climbing and repelling are all vital ingredients of the firefighting experience. Each fire department in Rappahannock County is very limited, having only a few members who are highly skilled in these areas. With the addition of a training tower at Amissville, we will be able to enhance the skills of our fire and rescue personnel. Emergency service volunteers want to build a fourstory training tower and the public reaction seems to be that we are introducing a form of high-rise or a new type of construction in Rappahannock County. This is incorrect. When we speak of a story, we are talking about 10 feet in height. Many, many homes built here are of colonial, Victorian or cathedral type construction. It is not at all unusual in these styles for the height of a story to be anywhere from 14 to 18 feet. Therefore, a three-story colonial home could be taller than the fourstory training tower the Fire and Rescue Association wants to build. There are also some buildings in Rappahannock County that are taller than the longest ladder carried on any fire fighting apparatus we have. Mr. Irwin also questioned whether the county wanted to encourage a regional training facility in this area. The training grounds in Amiss ville were designated as a State Regional Fire Training Center in January, 1984. TTiis was endorsed by resolution from the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors in the later part of 1983. Without the regional training status, fire and rescue services in Rappahannock cannot qualify for any state grant funds. The county’s Fire and Rescue Association has been awarded two grants: one in 1980 for $5,000 to replace the roof on Amissville’s smoke training building and the second in 1964 for $5,000 to begin construction of a fire training tower. Without these funds, it would be highly unlikely that we would have any type of training facility here. In dosing, I would like to pose this question to each and every dtixen of Rappahannock County: If you awaken in the middle of the night and find a fire in your home that has cut off the means of egress for you, your wife and your children, would you rather have an untrained or a highly skilled fire department responsible for suppressing that fire and for rescuing you and your family? Think about it! CARL JAMES Amiasville U.S. passports have required a photograph of the bearer since 1914, and assumed their present booklet format in !1926, National Geographic says.

The reason for their concern is not exactly new. One of the main items on the convention’s agenda will be the nomination of a senate candidate to oppose incumbent Republican John Warner, whose seat is up for election this year. Thus far, the party leaders haven’t found one with whom they feel comfortable. In order for them to feel comfortable, the candidate would have to conform to a combination of qualifications. There must be a reasonable chance that he or she could raise the million or so dollars needed to conduct a creditable campaign. There must also be the potential for positive and rapid statewide name identification. Finally, there should be general conformity to Gov. Church Robb’s moderate-to-conservative political philosophy. And, they hope, the candidate would be electable. It isn’t as if the Democrats haven’t tried to find such a candidate. Indeed, in recent weeks they have left no pebble unturned in their search. It seems that each day a new name has drifted up from the Capi- . tol’s rumor mill. None, ' however, has brought the Democratic faithful—much less the Virginia electorate—storming through the streets shouting huzzahs of approval. In the dun past, which is to say about six months ago, two highly plausible candidates were considering the race. They were Alexandria attorney William Thomas, a Robb confidant, and Senate Majority Leader Hunter Andrews of Hampton. Both, however, bowed out. More accurately, they never bowed in. As recently as last week there were two potential nominees; one a declared candidate and the other apparently about to declare. These were former Del. Edythe Harrison of Norfolk, who has announced, and Dr. Joseph Fisher, the state secretary of Human Resources, who had made no secret of his interest in the race. Both were regarded too liberal (by Virginia standards) to be ideal candidates, but Fisher was considered by party leaders to be the more acceptable of the two. Just when the Democratic chieftains, with a notable lack of enthusiasm, were about to rally behind Fisher in order to stop Harrison, last week he pulled out of the race. Over the past few months a growing roster of potential nominees have either been approached by party officials who urged them to run, or floated up trial balloons on their own. These include State Sen. James Jones of Bristol, 4th District Congressman Norman Sisisky, James Madison University President Ronald Carrier, the Rev. Curtis Harris of Hopewell, State Secretary of Commerce and Resources Betty Diener, State Sen. Virgil Goode of Rocky Mount, Del William Wilson of Covington, Delegate Vivian Watts of Fairfax, Television Newsman Hodding Carter Jr. and retired Gen. “Pete” Dawkins, formerly of Northern Virginia. Party officials heatedly deny that any formal effort was made to recruit Dawkins for the race, but the mention of his name several months ago brought hoots of derision from the GOP. Dawkins, they say, is actually a Republican and a close friend of Warner. The chairman of the Republican Senate Campaign Committee volunteered to tell Virginia Democrats who the Republicans were on their list of potential candidates if they would submit the list to him for review. With Fisher’s withdrawal, the scramble to find an alternative to Harrison was taking on something approaching panic at the week’s end. Three other candidates were actively testing the waters. They were Harris, Goode and Wilson. The governor’s office put out the word that two “mystery” candidates were considering running. These may have been Goode and Wilson. In any event the list is expected to grow before this reaches print. In the meanwhile, Harrison is conducting an aggressive campaign around the state, and it is fair to ask why the party leaders appear to be so determined to do in her candidacy. The reason has to do with the fact that everything in Virginia politics is, at bottom, focused on the races for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general. These offices come up for election next year. Harrison, according to the party leadership, is perceived as hopelessly liberal. Her concern for womens’ causes, her outspoken campaign style, and her blistering attacks on the party for using the convention method of nominating candidates have convinced Democratic officials that her race against Warner would be a disaster for her and an embarrassment to the party. The last thing they want, going into next year’s statewide races, is to give the Republicans an opportunity to charge that the candidates on the Democratic ticket belonged not only to the party of a liberal 1964 presidential candidate, but of a liberal senate candidate as well. They believe that even under the best of circumstances Warner will be extremely difficult to defeat. But they also believe that the candidate, if he or she is defeated, would be less a liability to the party next year if that candidate reflected the Virginia Democrats’ emerging moderate image. And so, in this spring of the Democrats’ discontent, the search goes on, now a little desperately. Commendable Position To the editor The Rappahannock County School Board has taken a commendable position. They have acknowledged some very pressing needs in our school system. Roof repair at the elementary school, the long awaited building program at the high school, a new math position at the high school and an indexed salary scale for the teachers have all been included in the School Board budget. We congratulate them. Through scheduled joint work sessions, the School Board will hopefully educate the Board of Supervisors regarding the conservatism and legitimacy of their budget. As parents are citizens of the county, we also have a responsibility in this process. If we hope for a better school system for our children, it is our duty to contact our supervisors and urge their endorsement of the School Board budget. RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY EDUCATION ASSOCIATION «

York Lifts Spirits Above Its Towers And Its Spires Bt DIANA BIRD MppaAMMMck N«wa Coatritertiac Writer (Editor's note: Lee and Diana Bird of Horseshoe Hollow Farm, Washington, recently traveled to England on a working tour sponsored by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Lee Bird is chairman of the board of the Warrenton based Piedmont Environmental Council and chairman of Rappahannock’s Board of Zoning Appeals. Diana has long been involved in farmland and historic preservation and other environmentally related issues as a citizen advocate. Also accompanying the group was Frank Reynolds of Washington, staff attorney for the Piedmont Environmental Council.) Lee and I are in York, England, with 38 other Virginians hearing how historic preservation and community development are pursued. This ancient dty of 100,000 is a good specimen for concentration. In 1967, the central government designated York one of four dtiesfor pilot study and support in the areas of preservation and development.

York was settled by the Romans in 71 A.D. In those days, ships could come up to the confluence of the Ouse and the Foes rivers, a natural inland port. Many substantial remains from the 900 years of Roman occupations are here to occasion wonder. Subsequently, the Vikings conquered and settled in York. Important archeological finds of these years have been discovered and preserved in a "living” museum soon to be opened. In the yean prior to the Norman conquest of England in 1066, Saxons lived and prospered hen. It was from the battle of Stanford against Norwegian invaders just north of York that Harold of England rushed south to Hastings to oppose William the Conqueror—to his death. William later nvaged York but then decided to make it an important royal seat. Today York is the only English dty whose walls an standing around it—for 2V4 miles. After 1200, the largest medieval building in England, the minster, or cathedral, was constructed. It stands still, containing some of England’s most precious stained glass windows. Fortunately, York was largely spared bombing in World War II, so that Elizabethan half-timbered buildings and Georgian brick structures are witness to the city’s continuing prosperity ery now, for what we would call “federal funds” were needed to preserve and revitalize it. Center Is Integrated Whole Several important concepts emerged from studies “The question was urgent after 1945: How could York*s historical heritage be preserved even while its inhabitants modernized and developed economically?** over the centuries. No other city in England has so much wealth from such a long and successive occupancy as has York. Perhaps this is true in part because the > Industrial Revolution, for historic economic reasons, largely passed it by. Now it is a good-sized chocolate manufacturing center, a rail center, and, owing to its beauty and charm, a tourist center. The question was urgent after 1946: How could York’s historical heritage be preserved even while its inhabitants modernized and developed economically? Had a consensus not formed throughout Britain in 1967 to try to resist some of the destructive changes of modem society, York probably would be lost beyond recov that were undertaken. One concept was that old structures could be rehabilitated, as has been done with the Clopton House in the town of Washington, if they could be put to new uses to make them profitable. Another concept was to recognize that restoration needed to treat sections of a dty—not just individual structures. A result has been to keep the center of the city, with York Minster as a focal point, an integrated whole. Some streets have been blocked to ' auto traffic. Walking is the way to get around. The whole dty is accessible by foot. We noticed on walking tours yesterday shops selling jewelry, woolens, books, household and sporting goods, china and antiques, for example. There are • ••• banks and other sorts of businesses and professional offices, restaurants and meat markets—whatever 100,000 inhabitants require and 2,000,000 tourists annually would find interesting. None of the things I have mentioned is unique to York. But working out the problems occasioned by a city of its size requires special and singular solutions. Besides making judgements on preservation and restoration issues, the planners here have to decide how modern construction of business, service and housing accomodations can be harmoniously fitted in. What to do about traffic? These are the things we have come to hear about from dty officials. Fairfax House Is Highlight A highlight of the city we were shown yesterday is a fine Georgian townhouse built in 1763 by a Lord Fairfax where he entertained his friends at parties and dances when he came to town from his estate 20 miles away. Until recently, the house was used as a dancing school, with little regard for its special architectural qualities: elaborately adorned plaster ceilings and carved wooden doorways. McNear Endears Self To Seniors By MICHELE MAY »«H»h.nnockNtw« fluff Writer UI like working with older people. I really like them — their honesty and their spirit,” Jeanie McNear says of the people she meets in her new job. McNear was appointed about a month ago to be the Community Services Center Volunteer Coordinator for Rappahannock County. In her new part-time job, McNear recruits and places volunteers and helps them help others. According to RSVP (Retired Senior Volunteer Program) director Carolyn Szabad, there are currently 38 RSVP volun tern in Rappahannock. RSVP volunteers are age 60 and older. There are also 11 younger comirihnity services volunteers in the county. Together they have spent more than 3,100 hours helping others in the county since July, according to Szabad. RSVP and community service volunteers perform a variety of functions. Some of them are “friendly visitors” who telephone or stop by to see the homebound. Others are drivers who take their neighbors shopping or to meetings onto medical appointments. Some serve meals at the nutrition site. Some show films in nursing homes. They: assist those who need help cutting through the red tape of governmental programs. And they don’t only work with the elderly. They tutor school children, too. In the words of a RappahannockRapid an Conun unity Services brochure, they are everywhere “sharing the art of having fun, bringing history and geography to life for school children, offering their experiences and knowledge, hblding lonely hands, smiling, responding, raising spirits, caring, loving, giving, giving, giving...” This is also what Jeanie McNear does best the rest of the time. She helps her husband Richard- run Greenwood Farm at Gid Brown Hollow and so says she sometimes has to fit her schedule around calvings and veterinarian visits. —KJppMMMDOC* NCWt PHotO/M. M*y JEANIE McNEAR enjoys her new job as community services volunteer coordinator. She thinks the best part is getting to spend time with so many of the county’s senior citizens. There she tends the horses and gardens, dogs and cats — and three daughters: sixyear-old Laura, 11-year-old Susannah and 13-year-old Jennifer. The McNears share their home with 18year-old Maarit Nord, an exchange student from the suburbs of Helsinki, Finland. Jeanie keeps herself and daughters busy with hobbies, too. Favorites are horseback riding, skiing and gardening. She’s also active with the Girl Scouts and 4-H livestock club in Rappahannock and the March of Dimes in Warrenton. (Richard is Fauquier County Planning Director.) Raised in rural Ohio, Jeanie was educated at De Paul University, Bristol University in England and George Washington University. She was previously employed by the U. S. Department of Justice. She and Richard moved to Rappahannock in 1970. Those who wish to participate in the volunteer program may contact Jeanie at the Rappahannock Mental Health Clinic on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 675-3329 or they may leave word at the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Center in Culpeper at 825-3619. Jeanie hopes others will find community service as interesting and satisfying as Many will have visited Carlyle House in Alexandria, built within a decade of this place—or Gunston Hall, George Mason’s home not far from Mt. Vernon, also of the period of Fairfax House. The restoration of this exceptional structure—we are assured the finest of its period in the country—is still in process, and we had the fun of seeing it in the roughest state of being put back together. In the entrance hall, a worker on a ladder with a blow torch was pulling off decades of accumulated wallpaper. In the dining room, the delicately carved floral designs over the doors were stripped naked of their paint clots and awaiting new paint. An authentic kitchen of the period was being installed in what had been a parlour— not at all like the kitchens on our colonial houses of the time. They had stoves here already. While we were eryoying the exquisite details of the plaster ceiling designs of figures of the goddess Ceres in one room and in another, a goddess representing friendship, I glanced out a window to a neighboring modern building and wondered what it was—three stories high, all red brick with a conspicuous red metal grill guard along an outdoor second story passageway. New Alongside Today, the identity of that building and its use were explained when we were shown, approaching in the opposite direction, a new complex of buildings which includes shops down an alleyway leading to a court behind a medieval, buff colored stone church, St. Mary’s Castlegate. On the far side of the court were additional commercial buildings above which were apartments, all topped with several stories of parking cars. It was these apartments from the other side that I had seen from Fairfax House. From the living room of the apartment we were shown, one could look in one direction to round Clifford’s Tower ona hill, built in William the Conqueror’s time to guard the entrance of the Foss River, and in the other to St. Mary’s Castlegate, behind which had been created the new court for the Coppergate shopping development. Here too is the entrance to the underground Viking museum, to be opened soon, and which we were privileged to see in the process of construction. A number of the streets are called “gate,” a derivative of the Norse word for street or alley and a verbal remnant of the city’s Viking past. If what I’ve just recited is slightly confusing, that is not because the situation in York is as complex as any I’ve encountered. One hesitates to discuss it at all since only seeing is believing. A value of learning about the accomplishments of the intelligent and dedicated people here is to understand that when difficult civic and cultural questions are at issue, imagination and determination can result in monumental accomplishments. One of our teachers and our mentor, John Shannon, a native, an attorney and a volunteer in the pursuit of York’s integrity into the future, said once in passing that a characteristic of Yorkshiremen (I hope and trust not women, too) is to delay or defer action—a sort of stubborn resistance to change. But this trait has been submerged and transformed in recent decades and passing needs have been met—to the benefit of all— in York, in England and in the world, for those fortunate enough to come here. York is a sparkling gem. At home I am aware of the transgressions of people against people throughout the world—fighting, starving and destroying. Here we have been treated to the joys and stimulation of construction. My spirits are lifted. I feel I’m floating like a kite, high above the towers and spires of York. she does. She says she sees her new job as a challenge and an opportunity.

What consumers see listed on food labels are the USRDA (U.S. recommended dietary allowances) that are set for the highest RDA’s for all the different sex and age groups in the U.S. This means that a person who is in an age, sex, -'body size or physiological state group requiring a lower amount of RDA’s is receiving a higher percentage of nutrients than are stated on the food labels. The best way to make sure a person is getting all the essential nutrients is to eat a balanced diet. Select foods from the four nugor food groups - meat, poultry, and fish; breads and cereals; fruits and vegetables; and dairy products each day. Liz Tole offers this rec ipe.

Rappakannock Journal How To Outmaneuver The Insects By DIANE RELF VirfinU Tech Eitcmion Home Horticulturist Occasionally, I wonder if my slugs have more epicurian tastes than others. I’ve read and heard many reports of slugs hurling themselves into pie pans of stale beer to meet a bleary demise. My slugs, however, religiously shun any offers I make. I’ve yet to trace a slivery path from the cabbage leaves to a beer-baited death. There are, however, a number of other traps for garden pests that I know work quite effectively. A simple, effective Japanese beetle trap can be made from a gallon milk jug and plastic bag. The bait to attract the beetles is available at most form and garden supply centers and can be attached to the center of the milk jug. The beetles will fall into the plastic bag which can be replaced as needed. (Write for diagram and instructions.) Night-flying insects can be trapped by placing a shaded light bulb outdoors above a pan of kerosene or water with a thin film of oil on top. Many insects attracted by the light will fall into the pan and drown. Another excellent trap for flying insects can be built from a screened box with a screen cone in the center leading to a pan of sweet bait, such as sugar water, fruit wastes, molasses or beer. Once in the trap, insects cannot find their way out of the cone. Simpler methods are often effective for crawling insects. Upturned flower pots and boards are favorite hiding places for earwigs and pill bugs. These pests can be collected every morning and fed to pet frogs or destroyed. Slugs, too, can be caught by these means or by strategically placed cabbage leaves or grapefruit rinds. Be sure to collect the pests before the hot, midday sun forces them to seek other I VIRGINIA I GARDENER shelter. Jim Roberts, Virginia Tech Extension entomologist, recently shared with me an idea for eliminating slugs. He suggested a homemade slug bait recipe of combining one pound of brown sugar, one 15-ounce can of beer and one teaspoon of Sevin. The mixture should be well stirred and applied to the bottom of a board, brick or a bucket lid. Another pest that can be reduced to tolerable levels by trapping is the white fly. White flies are attracted to the color yellow (Rustoleum 659 seems to be their favorite). A board painted yellow and coated with oil or grease makes s sticky trap for adult white flies. Unfortunately, the eggs and young will still be on the plants. This method seems to be most effective indoors and only with small populations of pests. Another approach to pest control, which might be considered the reverse of trapping, is making shields or guards to prevent attack. This is most common to prevent wildlife damage. Bulbs may be planted in wire mesh baskets to reduce mouse damage. The bases of orchard trees are often covered with wire or plant guards to reduce rabbit and mouse damage on the bark. Various nets over strawberries and blueberries save them from the birds. Nets also can be used over young seedlings to help prevent insect and rabbit damage. Cardboard tubes or cans with both ends removed can keep cut worms from plant stems. Some gardeners even AUCTION Monday, April 16th—11 a.m. E.S.T.

Mahlbacher Attends Workshop Local government officials from 22 jurisdictions across Virginia attended a three-day Basic Emergency Management Workshop in Richmond, March 27-29. Among those participating in the workshops was Robert Mahlbacher, deputy coordinator for Rappahannock County. The Basic Emergency Management Workshop, sponsored by the Virginia Office of Emergency and Energy Services, is designed to provide an overview of emergency management in Virginia and to assist local emergency managers in dealing with day-to-day concerns as well as major emergencies in their jurisdictions. Topics covered included: legal basis and authdHty for Emergency Services, the role of the emergency services coordinator, State and local plans and planning support, emergency operations, warning and communication, damage assessment, public information, hazardous substances and sources of specialized assistance. The workshop concluded with an emergency exercise to integrate many of the topics covered earlier in the workshop. Rappahannock news PhofcVM. May BRINGING IN THE CHEESE—Lions Club members volunteered their time and trucks to bring 3,000 pounds of cheese from Winchester for the recent food distribution at the welfare office. Here Carson Johnson loads down Art Town and Raymond Johnson. (Sid Mank has gone to get the other truck.) Where Can A Gardener Go For Fin de Bagnols? Want to grow fin de Bagnols, tezierma or meraviglia di Venezia? And even more importantly, do you want to know what to do with them after they’re harvested? Local gardeners interested in exotic and unusual vegetables and herbs can order a catalogue from Le Marche Seeds International, one of several mail order business that specialize in out-of-the-ordinary produce. Chef Patrick O’Connell grows a few of these exotics in the backyard garden at his Sperryville home. The vegetables and herbs make regular appearances in the culinary masterpieces he serves at The Inn at Little Washington, Rappahannock’s nationally acclaimed restaurant. Le Marche’s catalogue gives descriptions of over 150 varieties of vegetables and herbs, plus historical notes and recipes as well as complete planting instructions. It lists improved Bourbonne, the European strain of cucumber cultivated especially for use in making cornichons, the tiny pickle. And it adds instructions on how to make them. Cornichons ^ Gather tiny fruit every day. Store it in ziplock bags in the refrigerator until you have at least 40-50. Wash and dry the fruit, then put it into a glass or ceramic bowl, sprinkle with Vi cup salt (fine or sea salt) and let stand 12 hours, adding sliced onions for the last hour of the standing period. When the time is up, wash and dry the cucumbers. Pack them into hot pint jars. To each jar add 3-4 sprigs of tarragon (V* teaspoon if dried), a peeled clove of garlic cut into small pieces, a small bayleaf and 3-4 black peppercorns. Cover with a boiling solution of 1 cup water to 1 cup white vinegar. Seal the jars and process them in a boiling water bath for 7 minutes. Wait about 20 days before sampling. Ii\ addition to herbs and vegetables, the catalogue also offers samplers of seeds for alpine meadows, Italian chicory fields, provencal hillsides reminiscent of Southern France and English tea gardens.

Proper handling of wool is the single most important factor that affects the price of wool sold through the Virginia Wool Pool. Some tips on handling are: 1. Don’t shear wet or damp sheep. Pen sheep for shearing in a clean, dry area. 2. Shear on a clean surface. A large canvas works well to shear on. Don’t let hay, straw, chaff or other material come in contact with the wool. 3. Remove manure tags from the wool and bag separately. 4. Avoid “second cuts.” Remove fleece in one piece. 5. For tying fleeces, use paper twine only. 6. NEVER allow plastic to be used in or around the shearing area or come in contact with the wool. 7. Keep black, gray, dead and burry wool, crutchings and lamb fleeces separate from clear wool. 8. Use recommended wool bags and pack wool tightly. A properly packed wool bag should hold a minimum of 200 pounds of wool. Plans for a wool-packing rack are available through the extension office. 9. Tie or sew bags with cotton twine. Do not use binder or baler twine. 10. Store wool up off the ground in a dry building and away from any source of moisture. **«■* “Associate with men of good quality, if you esteem your own reputation; for it is better to be alone, than in bad company.”—George Washington Clean Orchard Grass Seed *8 per bushel Dale Welch 636-9965 after 7 p.m. 0% A.P.R.

Supervisors Look (Continued from Page 1) Dances can be held on the vinyl surface without damage . In addition, it is resistant to water damage. "Tears punctures can be patched,” he said, adding that a new coat of clear vinyl would probably need to be applied with a wet mop every five or six yean. In addition, a similar type of non-slip vinyl is recommended for installation in the locker rooms and kitchen, Baughan noted. Educational Improvements Looking at improvements to curriculum that will come with the proposed expansion, Estabrook pointed out that with new science rooms, students will be able to participate individually in lab experiments. “It will be far better preparation for our youngsters if they all have hands-on experience in all science classes...So often, the notion of enrollment is the only factor considered when evaluating a capital improvements program.” Estabrook said,acknowledging that Rappahannock’s school aged population is not increasing. “But we’re not looking at any significant decline, either.” Currently, the high Showers (Continued from Page 1) let spring return during the weekend, maybe because of the Cherry Blossom Festival at “Big Washington.” Monday brought more of what could ordinarily be expected of spring. It stayed sunny, breezy and warm. And although the National Weather Service continued to forecast that “variable cloudiness”* there didn’t seem to be any imminent danger of Dennis Wingfield building an ark. Realtors Clean Up * LqoU members. «f the Piedmont Board of Realtors have volunteered to pick up trash along the Fodderstack Race Course between Flint Hill and Washington on the morning of Saturday, April 14, a week before race day. Those who have already pledged to join in the clean up effort include the staff of Eileen Day Realtors in Washington. Everyone is invited to participate. Groups, chibs or individuals who would like to join in the clean-up campaign may pick up trash backs at 10 a.m. on Saturday at Eileen Day's office in the Clopton House. school has “instructional space limitations that limit our offerings and techniques,” he said. The superintendent recalled that when RCHS was built, it provided a cafeteria with seating for 90. That never could have been adequate,” he said. And from an educational standpoint, splitting students into more than two lunch shifts creates “monumental problems in scheduling the rest of their classes.” This year, principal Chappell said, all the classrooms but two at RCHS are used every period of every day. (The biology lab and one social studies room are used for five periods.) He added that teachers rotate from room to room, a situation that creates problems with keeping instructional materials together. In addition, the required rotation makes it impossible for a teacher to use a classroom for instructional planning during his or her free period, the principal said, explaining that teachers with a free period must do their planning in the shared, very tiny lounge area. Chappell also reported numerous conflicts in use of the gymnasium between dramatics and other extra curricular activities and athletic programs. “Community use, too.” He reported that youngsters involved in theater productions usually have to come back to school at night for rehersals because athletic teams are using the space after school. “We need some relief there.” Estabrook told the supervisors that Literary Loans from the state are now available to Rappahannock for school construction and renovation at interest rates of five percent (up from three percent previously - a raise that came with a jump in Rappahannock’s perceived ability to pay for education as measured by the composite index). The moratorium placed on Literary Loans last year has been lifted and 42 school '^divisions are. currently on the waiting list for funding, the superintendent said. “I can’t predict where on that list we will fall a year or two from now (if application is delayed) or how much money will be available,” Estabrook said, adding that the state currently has enough to cover all pending loan applications. Once an application for a Literary Loan is approved (a process that takes a maximum of 30 days), the money is earmarked for that school division for five years. “But at no point is the county or school division obligated to carry through with (con FARM EQUIPMENT AUCTION Saturday, April 21 10 a.m. From Rt. 55 in The Plains, Va.

That power rests solely with the supervisors... Having the money earmarked DOES NOT obligate the county to spend it,” Estabrook emphasized. Index Salary In reviewing the proposed 1964-86 school budget with the supervisors, the School Board saved its strongest endorsement for teachers’ salaries. Estabrook noted that administrators are slated to get 6.5 percent pay hikes’ non-certified staff 7.6 percent For teachers, he explained, the board took the bottom line figure for current salaries, increased it by 7.5 percent and then distributed the money over the new index pay scale. “All an index system does is distribute whatever amount the supervisors appropriate,” he said. Massie voiced the board’s “strong plea” for approval of the salary proposal. “Our teachers have asked for an index scale for the past three years... I hope the Board of Supervisors will see fit to let us go ahead this year because this means a great deal to the morale of our facility...The teacher turnover has not been great the past few years. This way (by adopting the index scale) we can encourage and reward those teachers who have stayed in the system.” The board had qualms about instituting the index scale requested by the administrative staff, she continued, adding that an index for that category of school employees will be discussed in the coming year. “We always said we would start with the teaching staff and after we see how that works, we’ll look at our classified employees.” Campbell pointed out that no one now employed will receive a cut in pay under the index system. “At the same time, they won’t all receive the same percentage increase,” said Supervisor Nelson Lane. “You’re right, Mr. Lane. They will not,” Estabrook agreed. In the past, all teachers were given the same percentage increase in pay , he noted. “It seemed the most equitable approach...I submit it was not. That it was just the opposite.” The index system will dose the gap between the top and the bottom of the instructional pay scale, he said, and give teachers a far greater ability to plan in terms of what they can expect if they make a career decision to stay in Rappahannock County. Under the index proposal, individual salary increases will range from five to nine percent, the superintendent noted. “My main concern with the index is that I think it cripples our ability to keep starting salaries compatible and therefore recruting good stock,” maintained Lane. (In tact, Rappahannock is more compatible in beginning teacher salary that in what is paid to experienced teachers. Last year's starting salary ranked 90 out of 186 school division; the maximum salary ranked 117 of 136.) “It’s important to attract good people,” Campbell countered. “But it’s more important to keep good people. I don’t think Rappahannock County wants to become just a training ground.” UB WILSON BROS.# INC. .. C^p,..' &9 C>4P?$*Prices Effective Thru April 17th!

Demand Grows For Rappahannock Homes i (Continued from Page 1) Spring Nesting Roger Batchelder cites the spring season as the major (actor in his own hectic schedule. “The weather will bring more out,” he says, adding that recent high interest rates didn’t affect Rappahannock much because of “a lot of owner financing.” He thinks the rise in the stock market is more directly attributable for the improved local market. “When the stock market is up people have more optimism and confidence about the economy,” he says. *The interest rates are more important in the suburbs—in Alexandria and places like that. People will buy here regardless of the interest rates if they can get a sense of optimism. ” Batchelder denigrates the pleas of other brokers for more listings. While the demand for land in Rappahannock may exceed the supply, it isn’t a one-way street, he says. “Quite a few are leaving. It’s not a Utopia for everyone,” he says. And with that, he rushes off to show a house owned by someone who wants to move to Fairfax. Major Reasons To Leave Peggy Clark says such listings are the exception, however. “People tend to hang into the Rappahannock area,” said the Flint Hill Realtor. They leave when they have to, she says, either for health reasons, for retirement near other family members or when they are forced to relocate because of their jobs. According to Clark, “it looks like it’s going to be a good year even though interest rates may climb again.” Clark says the lowest rate around is approximately 1114 percent with points and other conditions. Most mortgages are currently 14*4 percent, (13V4 with FHA loans) and up. But Clark says people are beginning to accept higher than former rates and “clients out there are buzzing around again.” During the recession, there were “very few price drops” Clark added not many “desperate sellers” willing to reduce the listing on their homes to counter the effects of higher mortgage rates. Rappahannock, Clark thinks, as are “all rural real estate sellers are more willing to hold” land during hard times than to take a beating.” “One thing I’ve noticed in Rappahannock,” she added, is that “land values have held throughout all this. People have not been pressed to sell. ” In any times Clark says it’s best to “put a price on that makes good sense.” Clark says she likes to sell close to the list price and advises buyers to “stay in a realistic range.” “People do tend to be ridiculous when they try to get the cheapest thing possible; it’s not always the best investment,” she added, saying people “should really try to get the best that money will get them” after they have saved for a considerable down payment or commit themselves to a long mortgage. She added that people have to shop around for “selective financing.” Owner financing is generally the best bet, she said, because a low interest rate is “harder—almost impossible (to find) at the banks.

Please support the AMERICAN &GANCER ? SOCIETY* Smart investor* refuse to pay the high rates,” she added. Concluded Clark, ’There are not many bargains any more in real estate. You have to pay the price.” Somehow the market stays steady in Rappahannock because of people’s willingness to do so. If there is one major problem in Rappahannock’s real estate business, Clark thinks it’s the inability to meet the demand for small acreage. There just isn’t anything available for young people to get started,” she says pointing to teachers who move to the community or young people who grow up here and want to set up housekeeping on their own. “People are limited by their budgets with their first house. They can’t spend $30,000440,000 for five acres plus a house. That’s too much.” If there is an increase in sales in the villages, Clark thinks it’s because the smaller parcels of land suit smaller budgets better. The move to the villages is more a matter of finances than fashion, she believes. Clark also believes there’s a lack of low income housing in the county. “The government should be more concerned about it,” she says. “We need small tracts.” Easier Financing “I know things are beginning to pick up because the mortgage brokers are coming to see me," Day said earlier this week. When interest rates rose to 18 percent two years ago, the nation’s housing market nearly came to a dead stop. People stayed where they were because they couldn’t afford to move. Day remembers it was easier in Rappahannock because “it has remained possible to buy because of owner financing and not having to depend on banks.” Yet the two year crunch still “slowed potential buyers who didn’t realize they could buy here without banks. ” Most local mortgages go through banks in Warrenton, Manassas or Winchester, Day added. She says she sees “very little VA (Veteran’s Administration) or FHA (Federal Home Administration) in this county.” Day explained FHA housing specifications would exclude many county homes. For instance, houses without indoor plumbing could not qualify for FHA loans, she noted. VA loans assess “pooints” against the seller, Day added. Since there is such a demand for land in Rappahannock, owners would rather wait and sell to a buyer who will pick up all the points. However, Day careftilly noted that the desirability of land in Rappahannock doesn’t mean investors can make a quick killing in real estate. Property “is still a great investment, but it’s a long term investment,” she said. There’s often a big difference between the asking price and selling price, she added. In fact, after reviewing all land transfers during the past six months, she noted that in nearly every case “the sales price is considerably less than the asking price.” People can’t expect to make a profit in two years the way they did during the ’70s, she said. One of the reasons is that there are “more educated buyers now.” Smarter Buyers During the recent hard times, people learned to be better negotiators, Day noticed. “They’re asking good questions. They want to know how prices are arrived at. They know more about financing,” she says of potential homeowners. “Financing is more challenging,” she added. “You used to be stuck in one mold,” she said, explaining another change in the modern market; now buyers and sellers are more flexible in their negotiations and there is an assortment of funding avenues other than bank mortgages. One thing never changes, according to Day—land will always be a wise investment. “It’s nice to know that what you’re buying now will be worth more later.” She has noticed a recent “upsurge in activity.” She has a backlog of potential buyers who have been trying to get to Rappahannock since January to look at land and were prevented by the weather. “They’re more optimistic since the inflation slowed down.” As in other parts of the state, a few real estate brokers have given up the business because of the hard times, but Day says “more are coming in — there’s more interest.” The ones who stayed were in real estate sales full time. Those who left were mostly part-timers who had other jobs and were looking for a little extra revenue. Rappahannock figures are on a far smaller scale than elsewhere, however. The president of the Fauquier Board of Realtors recently told reporters that membership had fallen from 287 to 167 in just four years. In Rappahannock, companies that belong to the Board of Realtors can be counted on one hand. Day ticks off on four fingers: Newbill Miller, Roger Batchelder, Peggy Clark and herself. Of course there are other real estate agents who don’t belong to the association and there are other Rappahannock Realtors who sell through companies in other counties. But there is seldom any vast swing in the number of people employed in the occupation. Real estate remains a sound profession in Rappahannock. As in the rest of the state, Rappahannock home builders are hammering away at a record rate. The local building boomlet has been growing steadily for several years. The county zoning office reports more building permits being issued each year for new houses. The records show 34 in 1981, 39 in 1982 and 50 in 1983. So far this year there have been five building permits issued for new homes. So the trend is likely to continue. For, permits were issued even during the dark winter months of January and February when no one wanted to build last year. By the end of April last year, six permits had been approved. That’s only one more than this year’s figures through the end of March. The milder April weather should bring more requests to increase the supply of homes in Rappahannock County. (Next week: County’s Biggest Employer, Aileen) Sursum Corda Seeks County Support (Continued from Page 1) directors must go outside Rappahannock County to solicit grants from foundations. One of the main criteria for evaluating this type of funding request is the level of local support, Harris said. Douglas Baumgardner, Washington lawyer and former commonwealth’s attorney for Rappahannock County, told the board that he owns property adjacent to where the center plans to build a new facility. “I’m familiar with the program they offer children. This is a very worthwhile project and I recommend it to you.” Retired teacher Ann Keyser said that she knows many parents with children in Sursum Corda. “They’ve been very much pleased with it.” She added that an elderly friend of hers with a grown son who is handicapped reads the center’s lunch menu in the newspaper each week and serves the same meals at home. The success of the center’s expansion construction program” would mean a lot for our county,” Mrs. Keyser concluded. Supervisor Hubert Gilkey asked if plans provide for expansion beyond the new building. Dietel answered that the facility’s design allows for the addition of a second story “very inexpensively.” Supervisor Chairman J. R. Latham inquired if the center will be self-support British Are Coining! A motorcade of 110 British automobiles, both antique and modern vintage, will wind its way through Rappahannock County on Saturday morning, April 14. The caravan will start from Fair Oaks Mall and travel down Interstate 66 to Marshall before swinging over on Route 647 to Flint Hill arriving at about 11 a.m. It will then take Route 522 to Massie’s Comer and from there follow Route 211 through Sperryville to the Skyline Drive’s Thornton Gap entrance and a picnic at the Pinnacles. After lunch, the motorcade will continue to Front Royal where the drivers will be greeted by the town’s mayor as guests of honor for Randolph Macon Academy’s Founders’ Day ceremonies. The motorcade is expected at RMA at about 1:30 p.m. The representatives from 14 Washington/Baltimore area automobile clubs plan on leaving Front Royal for the Piedmont Winery near Middleburg at around 2:30. British cars that will be on display to the public during the hour at RMA and again at the winery include 36 Jaguars, 26 MGs, 14 Austen Healeys, 14 Triumphs, four Rolls-Royces, three Morgans, two Austen MiniCoupes, one Morris Minor.

She explained that the directors want to continue and even expand the scholarship program, adding that many of the parents who desperately need daycare for their children can’t possible afford to pay tuition. “Probably for a long time we’re going to have to seek outside money...
