Public Defends Budget Requests By JON HEDDLESTON A Supervisors meeting on Rappahannock County’s proposed budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1 took place at the county courthouse on May 8. Approximately 90 people attended. The supervisors are taking a long, hard look at the proposed $3.6 million budget, which is up 29 percent from last year. There was some hint of taxpayer relief even if the entire proposed budget were to be passed: it was announced that the real estate tax rate necessary to meet the proposed budget would be $.64, down from an original estimate of $.58. The personal property tax rate also was projected, at $6.60 per $100 of assessed valuation. The meeting provided an opportunity for the public to support — or oppose — proposed budget items. Nearly a dozen citizens spoke on behalf of their respective organization’s budget request. Road Crew Maintenance Only Resident engineer Don Askew solicited questions by district on the proposed 1964-’85 improvements of the six-year highway plan. Several residents expressed concern over no announcements of improvements on particular roads in their areas. Askew explained that in many instances, the inability to secure right of way from landowners blocked ation,” Askew said. “We’ve got a six-year plan and a public hewing every two years. We know (in a lot of cases) we are not going to get right of way.” Askew announced that for fiscal ’84-’85, 93 percent of employee time would be allocated to road and highway maintenance, while new construction would go up for contract bid, in accordance with new state regulations. “I can see us adding at least 30 percent to the cost of a contract,” Askew said. Gregory Monahan, business manager at Wakefield School, expressed concern over motor vehicle licensing. Without an amendment to make school buses exempt (as they had been under the previous ordinance) Wakefield and other schools would have to pay the license fee for school buses. Commonwealth’s attorney Peter Luke suggested to the supervisors amendment language that would exempt school buses. The supervisors agreed, but, due to concerns over other possible loopholes, motioned to table the request for further discussion. Sylvia Krietler and Nancy Reeve of the County Social Services Department explained the need for an additional worker, and thus an increased budget, for the Social Services Department. “We do many things besides give out money,” Reeves said. She explained that direct services require a great amount of social worker time. These services, include (Continued on Page 14) Flint Hill Ladies Auxiliary Raises $4,000 For Firefighters The Flint HOI Ladies Auxiliary presented on May 7 a check for $4,000 to the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Department. The check presentation was made to Emory Russell, Treasure of the Flint Hill Fire Department, during the Ladies Auxiliary meeting. The Ladies Auxiliary, with some 20 members, worked diligently for a year raising the $4,000. In addition, this year the Ladies Auxiliary also purchased a new refrigerator for the fire hall Since 1981, the Flint Hill Ladies Auxiliary has turned over $14,000 to the volunteer firefighters. “With role changing where so many women have outside interests, it’s hard to get younger people involved,” Ladies Auxiliary president Peggy Ralph said. “The majority of these women work outside the home.” Much of the Ladies Auxiliary fundraising efforts occur during an annual carnival, proceeds of which go to the Flint Hill Fire Department. The auxiliary has a cook stand at the carnival and provides boxed dinners on parade night, also part of the festivities. In addition, the Ladies Auxiliary solicits donations door to door, conducts various give-aways, and sponsors an annual Christmas dinner. Officers of the Flint Hill Ladies Auxiliary are: Peggy Ralph, president; Mable LiL lard, vice-president; Evelyn Walker, treasurer; Mary Francis Bywaters, secretary. _ R^I"*«Pock New* PhouyJon HedfleOoa MRS.

Roof Repair Upped 43%, Board Will Try Negotiations By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON l^pdanmckNin SUffWritar Last month, when the Rappahannock supervisors gave the School Board authority to contract for emergency repairs to the elementary school roof, they did so with the condition that the roof be tapered, taking action after hearing that adding slope would increase the project cost by $3,000 to $4,000 — at most. At this Tuesday’s School Board meeting, superintendent Robert E stab rook recalled that in a letter dated April 20, E.M. Martin Company, contractors for the repair project, reported that the original $27,760 estimate on emergency repairs to the RGES north wing would not increase, even though the roof design was changed to include the slight slope for improved drainage dictated by the Board of Supervisors. “Their next letter has left the architect and the superintendent pretty angry,” E stab rook said. “We received the letter today and we’re now finding that the cost will be $39,760 — $12,000 more.” He added that the architect was annoyed over the lack of timeliness in providing the School Board with the revised cost estimate for a sloped roof. “He’s further aggravated now by what he feels is an honest mistake but a sizeable one — a $12,000 mistake.” According to the superintendent, the architect holds that “a flat roof, in his judgement, will be just as good. He doesn’t think we’d be gaining that much for the additional $12,000.” “What about another roofing company?” asked board member Nancy Reeve. “We’re not married to this one. . . A man is as good as his word and if that’s not the case, we have no protection anyway.” Estabrook repeated that architect Baughn was annoyed. “But he still has a great deal of confidence” in the E.M. Martin roofing firm, the superintendent emphasized. Negotiations Proposed “I personally feel that we have grounds to negotiate,” maintained chairman Beverly Massie, agreeing with the suggestion to contact additional roofing firms for new estimates on a sloped roof. Estabrook noted that E.M. Martin Company has done work on other sections of the leaking RCES roof. Staying with the same firm gives continuity, he said. “Checking with another company doesn’t preclude negotiating with Martin,” Reeve replied. Asked for the firm’s explanation of the difference between the original $3,000 to $4,000 projection on the sloped roof and the new $12,000 estimate that will up the cost of the emergency roof repairs by 43 percent, Estabrook said that, according to the architect, the roofers had “neglected to add in labor costs” and “miscalculated the cost of materials.” The reaction from the board members was unanimous: professionals aren’t supposed to make those kinds of mistakes. They also recalled that a second firm bidding on the roof repair project had set a price only $300 to $400 higher than Martin’s. Estabrook reminded the board members that they were able to handle the emergency roof repairs with a simple change order only because they were contracting with the firm that had won the bid for this year’s gymnasium roof repair project. Switching to another company will mean rebidding, he noted. “That will mean additional costs,” he said, although he acknowledged that the added expense wouldn’t reach (Continued on Page 14) “Growing Up In Smedley” Topic Of Historical Society Meeting The Rappahannock County Historical Society heard at its Hay 4 meeting from £ flpotlcqp who grew up , in Gid Brown Hot* low during the 80's. Jean Racer-GKck spoke of life at the Smedley Store, which was owned and operated by her parents from 1936 to 1947. Mrs. Glick, now a mother of five, said it was a challenge to research and go back to her childhood days. Now that she has, she is considering writing a book on growing up in Smedley. An only child, Mrs. Glick recalled vivid stories of her youth and the many personalities who frequented the old Smedley Store. She told of always wanting to be the storekeeper; she wished for the time to come when she could manage the store on her own. Finally the day arrived. Her parents had to attend a funeral and she was left alone to tend the store. “I was doing real well,” she recalled, "until I saw an old gentleman craning in with a feed bag. There was no way I wanted to scoop, sack and weigh it. So, when he came in, I said, ‘We’re out,’ and be replied, “Don’t worry. I’ll gp right on in and dip it out myself.” .■>, ■ * ; Ml*. Glide’s talk actually" concluded the meeting, which began with the trea-y surer’s report and discussions of old and new business. Due to increased operating costs, members voted to raise membership dues, effective immediately. For years, dues had been $3 per individual, $5 per couple and $1 per dependent, a fee that barely netted enough to pay for newsletter postage. Dues were raised to $6 per individual, $10 per couple, and $2 for each dependent child whose parents are paid up. The Historical Society also elected new officers. Stepping down from the president’s post was Lucia Kilby. She will be replaced president-elect Rex Lindstrom. Dorothy Davis became vice-president; Cathy Kneupfer continues as secretary/librarian; Mary Updike is treasurer, assisted by Margaret Muter, and Helen Holschuh continues as historian. HICTORJC/U. SOCIETY officers for ;83-;84 are (1-r) Margare, Kneupfer (seated), Rex Lindstrom, Lucia Kilby (past president) and Helen Holschuh.

Bloodmobile Coming On May 17 The Red Ctom Bloodmobile will be at the Wairenton Volunteer Fire House on Thursday, May 17, between the hours of noon and 6 p.m. Although the number of blood donors has increased slightly in the past few months, the Fauquier Chapter of the American Red Cross is not likely to achieve its goal of collecting 1,450 pints by the end of its fiscal year, June 30. The count stood at something more than 800 on May 1, with a Bloodmobile scheduled this past Tuesday at Marshall, and another due at Vint Hill Farms Station in June. The goal for the Bloodmobile at the fire house is 90 units, and Red Cross officials hope this figure can be exceeded. The previous Mood drive at the fire house in March produced 96 units—a high number made possible, Fauquier Chapter officials believe, by the “challenge” issued to other local businesses by The Democrat. With the tourist season approaching, bringing heavy highway traffic, the need for blood becomes acute With milder weather cutting down on the number of cold and flu cases, chapter officials hope for a large number of prospective donors on May 17. A blood donor may be anyone who has not contributed blood for two months and has not had any injections, including penicillin, for two weeks. 1 ttappmjarauick Stem* Rappahannock & Adjoining Counties per year $8.00 Elsewhere in the U.S. per year $10.00 ' Outside the U.S. per year $8.00 plus postage SUBSCRIPTIONjRATES by mail ALL PAYABLE IN ADVANCE ( ) New ( ) Renewal ( ) Check Enclose NAME__ ADDRESS ___ CITY__ STATE___ ZIP _ Second class postage paid at the Post Office at Warrenton, Va.

No. PUE 830060 On May 19, 1983, Virginia Electric and Power Company ("Vepco'O consummated a corporate reorganization whereby a new holding company. Dominion Resources, Inc., ("Dominion") was created, which now holds all outstanding Vepco stock. By order entered September 6, 1983, in Case No. PUE 830060, the Commission found that Dominion's plans for the reorganized corporate structure of Vepco and its impact upon future operations of Vepco should be thoroughly investigated to determine possible and probable effects upon ratepayers-, As the initial step in this investigation, the Commission directed Vepco and Dominion to file certain preliminary information on the reorganization and the present and proposed operations of the various subsidiaries of Dominion, existing and projected. Vepco and Dominion filed their response to the Commission's order on September 20, 1983. The filing indicates that current organizational plans of Dominion include the possible establishment of the following subsidiaries: a natural resource exploration company, a company to pursue development of a coal slurry pipeline, a company or companies to own Dominion's share of jointly owned electric generating companies to provide energy to Vepco under contract, and a company to administer the charitable programs of, and make grants for, Dominion, Vepco, and the other subsidiaries as they are created. Dominion Resource Services, Inc. ("Services"), an existing subsidiary of Dominion, is intended to provide staff and support services to Vepco and other Dominion subsidiaries. On September 23, 1983, Vepco, Services, and Virginia Natural Gas, Inc. ("VNG") filed an application (assigned Case No. PUE 830062) with the Commission requesting authorization under Chapters 3, 4, 5, and 10.1 of Title 56 of the Code of Virginia to irr\plement the transactions and arrangements detailed in the application. These transactions and arrangements include: (1) the transfer of Vepco's gas division into VNG, which initially will be established as a Vepco subsidiary, (2) the transfer of the shares of VNG common stock from Vepco to Dominion by means of a dividend, thereby making VNG a subsidiary of Dominion, (3) the transfer to Dominion of the common stock of Virginia Nuclear, Inc. ("VNI") held by Vepco by means of a dividend, thereby making VNI a subsidiary of Dominion, (4) establishment of the capital structure of VNG to reflect the same percentage of common stock, preferred stock, and debt as the capital structure of Vepco at the date of reorganization, (5) the approval of service agreements between Vepco and Services, VNG and Services, and Vepco and VNG, (6) the transfer of Vepco employees to Services to perform the staff functions being transferred to Services, (7) the granting of certificates of public convenience and necessity to VNG to serve the territory presently served by the gas division of Vepco. The companies filed a supplement to their application on September 30, 1983, and filed testimony in support of their application on October 4 and December 16, 1983. io enaDio Dominion Resources, me. to function on the day of its inception, the Commission, by Interim Order filed on May 18, 1983, in Case No. PUA830021, authorized Vepco to furnish necessary services to Services and thus to Dominion in the manner set forth in the Amended Application and service agreement filed by Vepco and Dominion in that proceeding on April 22, 1983.

(b) Is it in the public interest for the Commission to allow actions to be taken by Vepco, Dominion, VNG, and Services (hereinafter "Companies") which would result in the loss of jurisdiction for setting rates for Virginia ratepayers, in whole or in part, by the State Corporation Commission of Virginia? . , ■ r , (c) )^at are VfpcoV projected, g^nerar tion capacity requirements for the next 30 yeefe and what ere the utility's plans to satisfy its service requirements with regard to the sources of energy (including cogenerators and small power producers), entities involved, and the mechanism or agency by whom rates will be set?

“God Bless Graham Hackley. We Hope He Stays Another 50 Years!" “It was good for Graham and Dorothy, It was good for Graham and Dorothy, It was good for Graham and Dorothy, It'8 good enough for me. ” Bj; DAPHNE HUTCHINSON *»**»*«nnoek Nm Staff Writer All of Amissville, most of Castleton and Viewtown and delegates from the rest of Rappahannock County came Saturday to wish Do* rothy and Graham Hackley a happy 50th anniversary. Hundreds of bobbing red, yellow and blue balloons welcomed passers by on Route 211 to the celebration in honor of Graham Hackley’8 half century of minding the country store that is the center of life in the little village. Friends served free hotdogs, potato chips and soft drinks from the store while singers on a flatbed truck led the crowd through a special verse of “Gimme That Old Time Religion.” Former employees, like Irva Poe, who had started work there when Graham did, came to wish the Hackleys well. It was a grand turn out on a grand spring day for a grand couple. “I’ve never known two more dedicated people, dedicated to the community. They’ve given selflessly to anyone and any group that’s ever needed help,” said Mrs. Luther Stuart, 'an Amiss ville resident and patron of Hackley’s Store for 31 years. ‘'There are no words to describe them. They’re a very unique couple. God bless Graham Hackley! We hope he stayB another 50 years!” “They’ve always supported the churches, the schools, the fire department — everybody that’s needed them,” added Nancy Nicholas. have to worry about them getting hurt,” said Dorothy Hackley. “They worked here after school, on holidays and in the summer, many of them coming back during their college breaks, working here right up to when they started their permanent careers.” Some of the kids started as young as 13. “They were so determined. They really wanted to work,” Dorothy recalled. "They started asking early and they kept coming back until we said. ‘Okay, you’re big enough now. We’ll take you.’ ” Storekeeper Since 1934 Graham himself began his long association with AmissviUe’s country store while a young man still in school. His father and mother, Lewis E. and Rosalie Hackley, founded the store in 1907 across the street from its present location. They sold out in 1926 and then reopened at the present site in March, 1934. Graham worked after school and on weekends until his father died in 1937. Then he helped his mother run the store until she turned management over to him in 1963. A half century’s passage has changed some things about the store. “We used to sell live chickens. Now we sell them ready for the oven,” Dorothy remembered. The old pot bellied stove has been replaced by a kerosene heater, there are more fresh dairy products available, more convenience foods and fewer goods purchased from local farmers for resale over the counters; ice cream in half gallons instead of nickle cones. “Due bills” from the days when Graham bought poultry and eggs and dealt out payment in merchandise have taken their place in history. But the important things have remained the same. The Hackleys still stock quality merchandise and fresh produce and meat. The old wooden swivel stool that was Rosalie Hockley's seat is still part of the furnishings. The service is still down home and neighborly. Hackleya’ is still the meeting place, news center and gossip exchange of Amissville. On Saturday, Elliot Doyle presented the Hackley's with a framed testimonial lettered by caligrapher Richard Pierson. It described Graham as a "respected merchant, neighbof, friend and leader^ who has been “ever supportive of the youth of his community, his church, the fire department and the needs of our citizens.” The testimonial thanked Graham and Dorothy for their “devoted and long standing friendship to the people they have served so well” and congratulated the people of “60 years of unselfish accomplishment.” Saturday’s affair was just one example of that unselfishness. The Hackleya donated the refreshments, the helium balloons and a long list of door prizes, their “thank you” to the people who have patronized their country store for 60 years. They both came out briefly to receive the testimonial and Dorothy made the rounds of the crowds several times, greeting mends and neighbors and pausing to listen to the country musk played by John Triplett on banjo and Debby Zinn on guitar. But for the most of the day, it was business as usual, with the couple behind the cash register, handing out change and neighborly conversation to patrons doing their weekend shopping. “The weather cooperated. This is real nice,” answered Graham, smiling in response to congratulations. “It’s supposed to end at 4 p.m. but if they keep coming, we'll keep giving them Pepsi Colas and hotdogs.” Asked if he has any plans for retirement after minding the store for a half century, Graham Hackley answered. “I may have to phase out a little bit in the next year or two but I plan to go on a little while longer. I’m supposed to be here another 50 years!” he concluded, with a twinkle in his eye. i Jy{eeting Combines Picnic With Business r miming continues for the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community’s second annual membership meeting and picnic set for Sunday, June 3. The afternoon gathering will be held again this year at the Young’s farm on Route 649 in Castleton. For the convenience of those attending, directional markers from Routes 729 and 618 will be erected. The election of 11 new members to RAAC’s board of directors will be the first order of business. Since it is expected that there will be many more people nominated than positions to be filled, ballots will be provided. They will be collected and counted with results to be announced before the picnicking and entertainment ends. Organizers hope that all nominees will be present. The picnic meeting is open to all dues paying members and to anyone interested in joining RAAC. This is an organization created to promote the activities of all arts related groups that provide musical, theatrical, dance, artistic and other associated activities in this the county. For more information about membership, call the RAAC office at 67&-3103. Members are asked to bring food for themselves and their family to the picnic or to bring enough of one dish to share with eight others. Picnic tables for serving will be provided.

"Graham’s been a member of the fire department for a long tune,” noted Carl James, officer in the emergency company. “I reckon he was one of the charter members. Fourteen of them met over there beneath a tree by the old poet office. They took up a collection, gave $1 a piece — that’s what the treasury was — to start the fire department.” There’s always been some youngster from the neighborhood working in the store,” Richard Pierson reported.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF A PROPOSED RATE INCREASE BY VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY CutNo. PUE840021 On March 30, 1984, Virginia Electric and Power Company (hereinafter "Vepco") filed an application with the State Corporation Commission for an increase in rates. On April 6, 1984, Vepco filed an amendment to its initial application which made several changes necessitated by Commission orders of March 27, 1984, in Case Nos. PUE830041 and PUE840006, which were related to the cancellation of North Anna Unit 3 and Vepco's annual fuel factor respectively. The application, as amended, seeks an increase in annual revenues of $25,296,000 to be allocated equally among the various customer classes based upon present non-fuel revenues. This allocation results in a 2 percent increase in base rates. The proposed increase was filed in conjunction with the annual Financial Operating Review (hereinafter "FOR") data submitted by Vepco and based upon a test period ending December 31, 1983. Pursuant to the Commission's revised FOR procedure, Vepco requested that the increase be allowed to go into effect, on an interim basis and subject to refund, 30 days after the application was filed. The proposed increase is based upon test period adjustments and ratemaking allowances as prescribed in the Commission's FOR guidelines tor electric utilities, vepco also filed with its Application proposed changes to its rates, terms and conditions applicable to Parallel, Relay and Breakdown customers with a requested effective date as determined in the final order in. this proceeding. On April 25, 1984, the Commission staff filed a preliminary evaluation of Vepco's application. The Staff advised the Commission that the accounting adjustments in Vepco's application appeared to be in comoliance with the Commission's FOR guidelines but that the requested increase in annual revenues should be reduced by $740,000 to $24,556,000 to account for the reduction in the Special Revenue Tax rate for the tax year 1984. The Staff noted that information on the tax rate reduction was unavailable in time to be included in Vepco's application. The Staff also noted that the amount of the proposed increase will be reduced further by an Internal Revenue Service (hereinafter "IRS") ruling which Vepco received on April 11, 1984, concerning the amortization of In vestment Tax Credits. By order entered April 27, 1984, the Commission determined, pursuant to §56-240 of the Virginia Code, that there was a reasonable probability that the requested increase in annual revenues of $24,556,000 will be justified after a full investigation and hearing. As provided by the FOR procedure guidelines, the Commission therefore authorized Vepco to place that increase into effect for service rendered on and after April 30, 1984. The increased revenues received by Vepco will be collected on an interim basis and subject to refund pending the Commission's final order in this proceeding. A public hearing on Vepco's application is scheduled for July 26, 1984 at 10:00 a.m. in the Commission's Courtroom, Jefferson Building, Bank and Governor Streets, Richmond, Virginia to receive evidence relevant to Vepco's application. A copy of Vepco's application is available for public inspection during regular business hours at any Vepco office where customer bills may be paid' and at the SCC Document Control Center, Floor Bl, Jefferson Building, Richmond, Virginia. Any person desiring to comment in writing on the application may do so by directing such comments to the Clerk of the Commission as provided below. Any person desiring to make a statement at the public hearing, either for or against the application, need only appear in the Commission's Courtroom at 9:30 a.m. on the day of the hearing and identify himself or herself as a public witness. On or before June 27, 1984, persons desiring to participate as protestants, as defined in Rule 4:6 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (hereinafter "SCC Rules"), to present evidence and cross-examine witnesses, shall file an original and fifteen (15) copies of a Notice of Protest, as described in SCC Rule 5:16(a) with the Clerk of the Commission and serve a copy upon Vepco. Service upon Vepco shall be directed to Evans B. Brasfield, Esguire, Hunton and Williams, P. O. Box 1535, Richmond, Virginia 23212. A copy of the Notice of Protest should also be served upon the Division of Consumer Counsel, Office of Attorney General, 101 North 8th Street, 5th Floor, Richmond, Virginia 23219. On or before July 12, 1984, each protestant shall file an original and fifteen (15) coDies each of a protest (SCC Rule 5:16(b) and of the prepared testimony and exhibits protestant intends to present at the public hearing, and serve a copy upon Vepco and each protestant. Any party participating as a protestant should review the instructions regarding discovery set forth in the Commission's order in this proceeding dated April 27, 1984.

Member, Audit Bureau o< Ocuiatton THURSDAY, MAY 10,1964 Not Kid’s Stuff 1 always learn something when I take a walk with my four-year-old. On a recent stroll in Old Hollow, I spied a green beer bottle trying to feign innocence by hiding beneath a fresh clump of spring grass. Obviously, the bottle had been pitched who-knows-when from some car window. My four-yearold spotted it too. I started to walk by, as if I hadn’t seen a thing. My four-year-old didn’t. He stopped, stared at that bottle, wrinkled his nose, and picked it up. “What are you doing?” I asked. He grimaced. “Woodsy Owl says ‘Give a hoot, don’t pollute,’ Dad,” he retorted. “What are you gonna do with it?” I demanded. Without a word, he reached over and stuck the bottle, neck down, in my pocket, and we were on our way again. Time and again, citizens who don’t toss trash wonder why a few still do. Is there a country road in Rappahannock untainted by the mess? We don’t think so. The Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation spent more than 1,000 hours at a cost of nearly $6,000 to pick up litter along Rappahannock public roads during 1982 and ’83. Those dollars should have been spent on road and highway repair. Obviously, the litter situation leaves little room for kidding around. If there’s a bright spot, it probably is our youth who, in many instances, are leading the clean-up campaigns. Just last week, members of Cub Scout Pack 123, some of them local boys, took part in Project SOAR (Save Our American Resources) at Shenandoah National Park. Young people around the nation are launching similar campaigns. Just like tax dollars targeted for highway maintenance that end up in the litter ftind, though, it’s a shame that the energy and enthusiasm of our youth couldn’t be directed toward more personalized services. After all, if there were no litter, could these young people be helping an elderly people paint their home? What can we do? What can one good citizen and taxpayer who doesn’t launch bottles do about litter? Perhaps we can follow the lead of our youth and get involved. Qur involvement would have to come during— and after— the fact, according to the Rappahannock Sheriffs Department. If we witness some littering, we can take down license plate numbers and call the Sheriffs Department. Very few people do, however. That’s because involvement may take the witness one step farther—into the courtroom in order to testify. Fines for littering can result, and certainly would serve as a deterrent. Other penalties serve poetic justice: A few years ago in Faultier County a judge ordered a litterbug to go out and pick up litter. So Long, Farewell, AufWeidersehen, Adriu By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON la»»ahMM»efc Nm Staff Writer Goodbye is a harsh word, a hard word to say, especially when it ends a relationship that began more than a decade ago. In leaving the Rappahannock News, I feel like I’m leaving an old friend. I started at the paper more than 10 years ago as a proofreader. It was my introduction to the names and relationships, the issues and problems of Rappahannock. For two years, I delivered the News as well, making the rounds of the country stores, putting faces with those names. Then I pasted up the weekly advertisements that are the paper’s bread and butter, becoming familiar with the businesses that support the local economy. When I finally became a reporter, I was prepared. I’ve spent the last nine years at this typewriter, writing stories on Rappahannock’s School Board and Board of Supervisor meetings, planning commission and zoning sessions, political campaigns and elections and the wonderftil people who make our county such a special place. I’m leaving not because I’m tired of the job but because the arrival of a baby calls for an unexpected change in career plans. I’m going from full time editor and general manager to full time mother and part time (very part time) writer. Getting to know our new daughter will be my top priority this summer, not computing the percentage of tax increase in the 1964-86 budget. And I’m looking forward to my new responsibilities with joy and excitement that I can’t begin to express. nut a icavc uic emwr s desk with more than a twinge of regret. While I’m looking ahead to time with our little girl, I know 111 be sneaking a glance over my shoulder every now and then at what I’ve left behind. They've been wonderful years. I’ve learned a lot. I know bow to catch snappers and prepare turtle paatihm»i’ve learned how the mountain folk kept their vegetables fresh during winters snows. I know the best spot for watching the hawk migrations that lift the spirits as high as the big birds soar. I can tell the difference between a fox hound, a walker hound and a coon hound. I’ve heard so many wonderful stories. Jack Bruce’s memories of chases after Sir Reynard, memories as vivid and fresh after 50 years as they were when the riders pulled up for the kill or, more frequently, watched as the laughing fox lost the trailing hounds. Rev. W. B. Dennis’ stories of Christmases almost a century ago and a trek across Luray Mountain in the snow and cold leading the family cow. John Jackson’s remembrances of the convict on the chain gang that built Rappahannock’s first paved road and taught him how to play the guitar, putting John on the musical road that, led around the world and to the White House. Stories from Mary Botts Quaintance, Pauline Bruce, Elsie Dodson and Anne Keyser of the “dear old golden rule days” in the county’s one room school houses. Mattie Ball Fletcher’s memories of gypsy peddlers. Aubrey Keyser1 s recollections of the good will and holiday spirit that brought the town Christmas tree and gifts to the Depression stricken families of Sperryville. C. E. “Ned” Johnson’s tales of just about everything from Rappahannock’s past. My memory holds a scrap book of pictures. I can see Charlie Lewis, ever dapper in brimmed hid and Sidney black suit, taking careful aim with an ancient rifle to administer the coup de grace to a hog picked out for butchering. I can see Jack Miller, ever gallant and courtly, cigar clenched between his teeth, as he tipped his hat and bowed to the ladies on his rounds of the courthouse. I’ll remember the smiles and tears of joy (Mi the faces of youngsters after a first place finish in the mile race, an upset victory over Stonewall on the basketball court, a standing ovation from the audience at the end of another spectacular RCHS stage production. There have been moments of intense satisfaction at reporting what I felt were happy endings to stories the newspaper had covered. I liked writing that the Park land swap had been forestalled; that the solution to Sperryville’s pollution problem was at last at hand with the award of federal and state grants for construction of an affordable sewer system; that after eight years of effort, a building program at the high school finally found at least preliminary approval with the supervisors. I’ve met formers and beekeepers, foresters and game wardens, glass blowers and basket weavers, potters, painters and artists at the loom, writers and politicians — people I would have missed if it hadn’t been for my work. I’ve come to appreciate the dedication of volunteer fire fighters, rescue workers and the ladies from their auxiliaries who support them, athletic coaches, School Board members (even when I disagreed with their positions), social workers, library volunteers and volunteers who work with senior citizens. I’ve had help from ■imnat everyone in the county at some time over the last nine yean. I can’t begin to list all who have given me direction and advice but there are special people whom I've turned to again and again. To them, I offer a special thanks: Newbill Miller for - his lessons on farming and toning; Ruby Jenkins, Pete Estes, Mary Botts Quaintance, Pauline and Jack Bruce, Anns and Aubrey Keyser far sharing their knowledge of Rappahannock’s past; Del. "Andy” Guest far his accessibility, his information on what’s going on in Richmond; Resident Engineer Don Askew for his always accurate repents on anything to do with county roads; Clerk Diane Bruce for her ever willing cooperation in keeping me up to date on what’s happening with the courts and the Board of Supervisors; Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson and lawyers Doug Baumgardner and Sharon Luke for their lessons on the law; Planning Commission secretary Cheryl Taylor for her prompt and friendly response to every request for documents and records. I could go on and on with “thank yous” and recollections of all the nice things about this job. But I think it is sufficient to say that writing about the county for two years, visiting it from neighboring Fauquier for interviews and to cover meetings, was enough to convince me that we ought to become Rappahannockers. My family and I have never regretted that decision. /viiu 118 noi exactly goodbye that I’m saying. I’ll be back in September as a part time reporter. I’ll leave our daughter with her Dad long enough to slip away for a School Board meeting, an interview with one of Rappahannock’s most colorful and fascinating citizens and sessions of the Water and Sewer Authority and Board of Zoning Appeals. After all these years, I want to be there when the switch is thrown to turn on the Sperryville sewer system, when the first shovel of dirt is lifted for the high school expansion, when the zoning and planning boards begin to guide the county's development under our newly revised ordinances. In other languages, there are words that aren’t quite as final as goodbye. The French say “au ’voir,” the Germans “auf weidersehen.” Both mean until we see each other again. So I'll borrow from them.

L Our Rappahannock Heritage■ Letters To The Editor More On Harris Hollow To the editor Last week I had a couple of questions for Mr. Snead about the Rappahannock Group Home. This week, I have a few questions for the people of Rappahannock County, because whether you know it or not, you are the answer to all these questions and more. 1. If the home is built in Harris Hollow, surely the road must be improved, widened and paved. The one lane bridge should be replaced. Who will pay? 2. If one of the residents at the home wanders off into the mountains, either by accident or on purpose, who will be called to help find them? The county Sheriffs Department or State Police? 3. If there’s a fire or an emergency at the home, who will be called? The county fire or rescue squads. 4. If our stream is polluted and our wells contaminated, who will clean up the mess? The list is endless; I’ll leave you with just one more. 5. We all know the fed eral government is deep in debt. Our state and local governments are finding it increasingly harder to balance their budgets. If for some reason in the future funding for these people is cut back or cut off due to budget cuts, national emergencies, etc., who will take up the slack? These people are here. They are human beings, they must be cared for. Rappahannock County, you are the only answer I can think of. JOHN CLARK, JR. Auxiliaries Great M.M l« A AC CIUMM. This is s thank you letter to all the women on the auxiliaries of all the county’s volunteer fire departments and rescue squads. I happened to accompany my husband to a meeting of the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Department’s Ladies Auxiliary where he was to take a picture of hinds being presented to the fire depart ment from the womens group. I had an opportunity to listen for a few minutes to their organized, businesslike meeting. They read their treasurer's report and past business. They talked of paying bills and how to raise still more hinds. I began to take it very personally. It was a drizzly, dark evening and the fire hall was raw and chilly. Their enthusiasm was warm. I became aware of the long and detailed pl«nnmg ft takes to put on dinners, bake sales and carnivals. It is hours and boors of work that these women donate cheerflilly and graciously. The bottom line is that when our homes are on fire or somebody is suddenly taken ill, there is help on the way. *nie help comes from ftinds raised at these events to get us out of big trouble. I ' ' am grateflil and once again say thank you. ESTHER G. SCHMIDT School Budget Morale Booster To the Editor: Congratulations are in order for our Board of Supervisors. Their funding of the School Board budget with only minor adjustments provides a real future for the Rappahanhock school system. The building program at the high school is long overdue and serves as a morale booster to students and teachers alike. The indexed salary scale finally tells the career Rappahannock teachers that they are valued el entente of the system. The roof repair at the elementary school will prevent an attractive building from deteriorating intokn eyesore. This budget and the supervisors unified support for a school system in Rappahannock dedicated to quality makes us proud of our community, our schools and our profession. SCARLETT A. DYER President Rappahannock County Education Association Thanks, Volunteers To the editor This week, May 6-12, is National Volunteer Week, and I want to extend a hearty thank you to all of Rappahannock County’s 51 volunteers in the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Center Volunteer Program. Since December, they have given 772 hours of service to the mentally retarded, mental health clients, and the lonely and housebound elderly through their valuable service to the Center’s programs, and those of our volunteers who are in the Retired Senior Volunteer Program have also given 223.6 hours of service to other community programs through RSVP Stations in Rappahannock County, such as the County Library, the Child Care and Learning Center, RAAC, and Social Services. Rappahannock’s active citizens of all ages have so much to offer through volunteering, and make a great difference in community life. Thank you, volunteers, for sharing yourselves in your concern for othere. JEANIE McNEAR Coordinator of Volunteer Services, Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Center Appreciates Supervisors To the editor The Rappahannock County High School Booster Chib would like to express our utmost appreciation to each and every member of the Board of Supervisors and the School Board for approving the budget to add the new addition to the high school.

Except for the few districts where heated contests are in prospect, the races for Congress have not exactly riveted the voters attention. Yet they should have, for it is in the congressional contests that the parties are the most evenly matched, and in which the outcomes are the least predictable. Indeed, it is possible that the Republicans present 6-4 majority on the state’s 10 member delegation could be shaved to a 6-6 tie, or even reversed. On the other hand it is just as possible that the GOP could improve its majority by picking up an additional seat. Let us examine the situation district by district. First District: Incumbent Republican Herbert _ .a VT . V9WIIWU ut ncwpurv News is facing a second challenge by John J. McGlennon of Williamsburg. In 1982, in the contest for the open seat vacated by successful senate candidate Paul Trible, Bateman defeated McGlennon with 64 percent of the vote. The Democrat, however, has campaigned energetically for the rematch and observers in the district say ujr mujiciuiuil IS pussiuie. Second District: Republican G. William White, hurst is unopposed. Third District: Republican Thomas J. Bliley is unopposed. Fourth District: Democrat Norman Sisisky is unopposed. Filth District: Democrat W.C. (Dan) Daniel is unopposed. Sixth District: Incumbent Democrat James R. (Jim) OUn of Roanoke is facing what promises to be a spirited challenge from former state Sen. Ray Garland, also of Roanoke. Garland was defeated in 1982 in his bid for the GOP nomination to replace retiring Rep. M. Caldwell Butler. Del. Kevin G. Miller of Harrisonburg captured the nomination but was defeated by Olin. Garland was subsequently defeated in his 1963 senate re-election effort. Nevertheless, Garland is a colorful and highly articulate campaigner, and Sixth District Democrats concede that Olin is in a horserace for re-election. Seventh District: The contest in the Seventh is by tar the most complex in the state this year. With the retirement of Republican J. Kenneth Robinson, this is the only open seat in the 1964 races. Two Democrats are vying for the party’s nomination. They are former Charlottesville Mayor Francis Fife and Winchester attorney and CPA Lewis Costello. While both men are wel) known in their respective ends of the sprawling district, they have their „ „ work cut out for them in expanding their name identification to areas remote from thefrhome bailiwicks. „ The Republicans have a whole fistfol of candidates in the field, although a series of mass meeting victories have aO but assured that former Del. French Slaughter of Culpeper will be the nominee. Others still in the running are former Del. Gay 0. Farley of Fauquier, James Hobgood of Fredericksburg, J. Paul McDonald of Clarke County, William Frazier of Hanover, and AJ. Goldenthal of Shenandoah County. The nominees of the two parties will be named at District conventions to be held in Charlottesville on Saturday. I he political situation in the Seventh is further complicated by the expected entry into the race of retired Air Force Lt. Col. Robert E. Frazier of Earlysville. Frazier, a conservative, is presently collecting the necessary petition signatures to qualify as an independent candidate. Eighth District: Three Democrats will be contesting in the June 12 primary for the nomination. They are state Sen. Richard L. Saslaw of Ann&ndale, Craig Coverdale of Alexandria and David S. Holland also of Alexandria. Saslaw is reportedly favored to win the nomination. If he is successful, he will oppose incumbent Republican Stanford E. Parris of Woodbridge in what is expected to be a close election fight in November. Ninth District: This is also expected to be a hard fiuight contest with Republican Del. C. Jefferson Stafford of Pearisburg opposing incumbent Democrat Frederick C. (Rick) Boucher of Abingdon. While the Democrats are confident that Boucher will win reelection, GOP strategists regard the race in the Ninth as their best opportunity to pick up an additional seat. Tenth District: In the only other district (aside from the Eighth) to hold a contested primary, two Democrats from Arlington will be vying for the party^ nod. They are John P. Flannery, II and Harris Miller. Incumbent Republican Frank R. Wolf if not regarded as being in serious trouble for re-election at this point although November is a long way down the road. Thus the Democratic candidates in the First, Sixth, Seventh and Ninth Districts will be chosen by conventions while those in the Eighth and Tenth Districts will be elected in primaries. There will also be uncontested primaries in the Fourth and Fifth Districts. The GOP will nominate all of its candidates by convention except in the Tenth District where the incumbent is unopposed in a primary. Nothing about all this is set in concrete, however. The conventions and primaries are still in the future and there is ample time for additional candidates to qualify. But at the moment it appears the real battleground between the parties in November will be in the contests for the Congress. Spring Festival Set The 6th Annual Old Town Warrenton Spring Festival will be held on Main Street in Warrenton on Saturday, May 19th from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The Festival will include over 180 craftsmen displaying for exhibit and sale such homemade crafts as jewelry, quilts, pottery, wood carvings, leather goods, ceramics, etc. The wide range of activities planned for the day include music by the U.S. Navy Band “The Country Current” and the Free State Ramblers, as well as pony rides, a petting zoo, and a pie eating contest. A variety of food and drink will be available—including homemade ice cream. The admission is free.

Mom. . At 79, Mrs. Alice Brady of Flint Hill still lives up to the title. Special Mother’s Day Feature Article Her achievements read much like those of any great achiever. She reared 10 children, many of whom either live near her or are in the process of moving close to her again. She is a great cook, perhaps an even greater counselor. She has been an active member of the Flint Hill Methodist Church for more than 60 years. She has inspired short stories and poems. And to people who know her best, the children she raised on a modest 20-acre farm, she’s Mom. Her name is Alice Brady, born Alice Lillard in Winchester, Va., in 1904. She was one of six children, three boys, three girls. Her father, James Lillard, was a carpenter. Her mother, the former Elizabeth “Betty” Jenkins, worked at home raising the children. Betty taughter her children simple values of love, honesty and understanding. These same values Mrs. Brady believes she has merely passed along. Understates Role Despite the task of raising 10 children, many of them born during the Great Depression, Mrs. Brady understates her role as Mom. “The kids were good, and always helped out with everything," she said. Even during the Depression, Mrs. Brady considered her family fortunate. “I was lucky my husband had a steady job,” she said. Hand we raised most of our food. We had our own cows, hogs, chickens and garden. It wasn’t so bad; we seemed to make it okay." Mrs. Brady’s husband, Moffett, former superintendent of the Rappahannock County Highway Department, worked on county roads for 50 years. Moffett passed away in 1975. ***’ During their marriage of 52 years, Mr. and Mrs. Brady’s responsibilities, although never written down, were well-defined. “I worked at home. The thought of working outside never crossed my mind,” she said. “He’d work. I never expected anything of him (such as changing diapers, doing dishes, washing clothes). I just accepted that as my part.” Children Life’s Work Mrs. Brady considered raising children her life’s work and most important task. “I don’t think anybody can take the place of a mother,” she said. I don’t think anyone would take better care of them.” Mrs. Brady’s concern for her children seemingly transcended time. All 10 were born between 1924 and 1944, and there were no twins. Each was born one to three years apart. The Bradys had children in the Rappahannock school system for 32 consecutive years. “I never thought I had too many,” she said. “I’m proud of every one. They’ve all been good to me; I couldn’t ask them to be any better.” Nobody Like Mom Many of the children, now with families of their own, have settled close to their mother. They are (oldest to youngest): Louise McCulloch of Oakton, Va.; Mary Atkins of Amissville; Moffett “M.H.” Jr. of Flint Hill; Thelma Crane of Lanham, Md., Irene Hamilton of High Point, N.C.; Elizabeth Bolton of Warrenton, Va.; Ann Jones of Vinton, Iowa; Robert of Flint Hill; Charles of Falls Church, Va. and Richard of Oakton, Va. The first-born, Louise, is moving back to Flint Hill this month, where she and her husband will spend their retirement years. “I can walk to Mom’s house,” she beamed. ' Thelma Crane," third-born, also plans to move back to Rappahannock sometime this year. Everyone gets togethei as often as possible. Last August, during one of the hottest dayB of the summer, the family gathered for a reunion at Richard’s home ir Oakton. “There were 60-some people there and my brothei has a big swimming pool,’ Thelma recalled. “It looked like a public pool,” she laughed. “I think we would’ve croaked without it,” Mrs. Brady added. Ten Easier Than Two To hear Mrs. Brady talk of childraising, one might think it’s easier to raise 10 than two. Mrs. Brady believes that, with 10, the expectation level was different. “There were sc many, they didn’t demand so much,” Mrs. Brady reminisced. “Each shared alike because they knew there was so many. wed have a big Christmas,” she continued. “(The children) never got toys during the year. Nowadays it seems children get something every time they go to the store.” Mrs. Brady said she believes the church helped her to raise the children properly. “I always tried to keep the children properly. “I always tried to keep the children in church and Sunday school,” she said. “It was the way I was brought up, the way I was taught. You can gain everything, I think, in everyday living. “It was hard sometimes,” she smiled. “Especially with the boys. They’d just like to think about other things like fishin’ and a baseball game. ‘You have to go to Sunday School first,’ I’d say.” Mom Brady comes first when it comes to special days like Mother’s Day. The list of well-wisjie^ includes 26 grandchildren (see sidebar) and 10 great-grandchildren. But the feelings of her 10 children are summarized best by a verse that hangs in Rtppehannocfc Newt Photo/Jon Heddktton “WHEN I THINK of Mom she’s in the kitchen,” Louise McCulloch, one of ten Brady children, says.

The center of our home is in our Mother’s heart.” SUNDAY Q MAY 13 My Someone Special oy cawenne susan crane Editor’s Note: This essay was written about Grandma Brady when Catherine was attending college. Catherine now is married, and expecting her first child soon. In the beautiful Shenandoah Valley, along the Blue Ridge Mountains, lies a peaceful, serene village called Flint Hill. Across from the general store, set back from the road, is an elegant white house surrounded by shade trees and flower gardens. This is where my Grandma Brady lives and has lived for as long as I can remember. Just as the house is in the middle of town. Grandma is the center of our family. Despite her grey hair and wrinkles, which come with age, and her short cuddly frame, Grandma is the core from which her family’s strength and faith evolves. Despite any disaster, such as when my Granddad passed away, or downfall, when there’s a ‘breakup’ in a family, Grandma always finds wisdom and strength not only for herself but for the rest of us as well. She is highly respected and greatly depended upon for helping each of us find the inner-strength that keeps us from crumbling. Without Grandma to look up to, the strength and unity of our family would be like a ship without an anchor; it would slowly drift away with nothing solid holding it in place. There is also a tender, easy going side to Grandma which makes us love her even more. Woven in among her strong faith and wisdom is also a heart overflowing with love and concern for her family. Grandma is always ready for a hug and kiss and never turns her children away when they come to her with a problem. Her house is as large as her heart, so there is always plenty of room for the grandchildren to ran and play. My fondest childhood memories are those of running around Grandma’s yard with all my cousins, for Grandma’s was where we all met for reunions, and eating those special treats that only Grandma can make. Grandma has been an important part of my growing up. She is the center of my admiration and I’ll cherish her love and the lessons of life she has taught me. Maybe someday I’ll be lucky enough to be loved and admired half as much as Grandma, my someone special.

She spent five days touring the lovely Sydney with it’B fine natural harbor. She also visited their hospital-remember she is an Educational Coordinator in Nursing and is probably very curious about the Australian system. Ellen had a grand time on her boating trip around the thousands of islands of the Great Barrier Reef and the trip to Cataract Gorge. Maybe she was joined by a platypus or two! This Australian creature is a mammal that lays eggs and has webbed feet and a bill like that of a duck. The residents of Castleton might eryoy a few of those arounds. Another sight that Ellen really enjoyed was the capital city of Canberra with the Parliament. She couldn’t believe how new and beautiful it was. She probably drank an enormous amount of tea here and there as she toured the British Commonwealth in that tropical paradise. Lucky Ellen!

They live in Fredericksburg where Rick is the Parts Manager for John Deere Greenline Service and operates a computer. They have a computer at home , which Jap is crazy about!

It is just not correct. Certain shoes may irritate the hammer toes and the corn but they do not cause the problem. Hammer toes develop when there is an imbalance in the muscles controlling the toe and the joints are allowed to stay in a “hammered” position for a period of years. There are various ways to correct the hammer toes. However, the cause of the hammer toe is usually an imbalance in the foot itself which may lead to other problems. Remember—your feet must last a lifetime. Dr. BruM I. Vog«i, D.P.M., F.A.C.F.3. 6353 8udley Rd. Manaaeaa, Va 22110 366*7166 MedJcal-DentaJ BuikUna Warrantor, Va. 22186 347*6363 » County High School.

Eileen M. Day realtor! BORROW TO BIGGER PROFITS The secret to making real estate investments pay is borrowing. This idta of assuming what may be a staggering debt flies in the face of conventional wisdom. Yet, borrowing is the only means most people have of acquiring real estate - and it’s the shortest route to high returns. In real estate, borrowing is called leverage. Suppose you have $60,000 in the bank and you want to buy a $100,000 property. Thinking the old way, you’d put all your cash down and take a $50,000 mortgage. If you eventually sell the property for $150,000, you would have made a 100% profit. What if you had used leverage and put only $20,000 down? Your return on the same selling price would be $2.50 for every dollar you invested - or 250% rather than the original 100%. Meanwhile, you could have used the extra $30,000 you didn’t invest for other purchases. Tax breaks are nice, but the real money made in real estate comes from using leverage. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M. DAY, realtor, The Clopton House, Washington, Va. 22747. Phone: 675-3400. We’re here to help.

A|Salute To Rappahannock’s Extension Homemakers I Surely Believe In Extension Homemaking!” By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON ■UM^MMMek New. Staff Writer Barbara Gentry, Rappahannock’s Extension Homemaker of the Year, is a busy lady. At 71, she has twice as much energy as most people half her age. But as many hours as she devotes to her volunteer activities, she makes sure she reserves time for meetings of the Flint Hill Extension Homemakers’ Chib. She’s been a member for 48 years, joining shortly after she first came to Rappahannock as a bride. “My mother-in-law belonged. It was such a nice place to go during the day — our meetings were always held during the day back then. And I learned so much. Then as my children came along, I learned so much more.” Gardening, sewing, tailoring — she mastered skills she put to use for her family. “Times have changed. We were so poor then, at least by todays standards. We had so few labor saving devices,” Barbara recalled. “From the Extension Homemakers’ programs we learned to make do with what we had, especially during the war years. We recycled things. We just didn’t call it that,” she added with a laugh. as ner cnnaren grew, she explained her involvement into other Extension organizations. She became a 4-H leader and was a member of the county’s 4-H Honor Chib, a group that included top notch youngsters and a few adults. Along with her volunteer efforts and family responsibilities, she worked as a school teacher, instructing youngsters at the old Reagar School near Willis Chapel for eight years, and then served as Flint Hill’s postmaster for 21 years. Help Cm The Farm In the 1940s, she and htfr - husband began a farming operation, raising purebred Hereford cattle. That's when the Homemakers really helped me out,” she recalled. “I learned to can milk and cheese. I learned to can everything! Even meat. I remember visiting the homes of other women and helping them can chicken in a pressure cooker.” During her 48 years in Homemakers, she’s been much more than just an active member. She was president and secretary for her Flint Hill club for several terms. She attended two na Open House Success ByFLORENCE VICKERS Iltl—tOB AfCUt The elementary school gymnasium was buzzing with activity Saturday as the Extension Homemakers’ open house opened. This was the first county observance of Extension Homemakers’ Week which runs this year from May 6-12. Crafts and craftswomen from the Amissville club arrived with rocking chairs to crochet, crewel, quilt, weave baskets and share their knowledge with others. Crosstitch, embroidery, needlepoint, quilts, decaupage, crochet and many other beautiful items were displayed. Sheriff John Henry Woodward fingerprinted young children whose parents missed this service when it was offered earlier through the school. Parents were given the only copy of the fingerprints to keep with their records in case the prints are needed for identification purposes. Everyone hopes it won’t ever be necessary to use them but it’s always better to be prepared. Some of the tots were unwilling to stand still long enough to ink their hands and press them on the form, but the parents and the sheriff let them relax and watch other children being fingerprinted and then did theirs. The youngsters were Barbara Gentry tional conferences for Extension Homemakers and was secretary for the State organization of homemakers. Barbara even served on Governor Mills Godwin’s advisory board to the VPI’s school of agriculture. “I don’t know why I was appointed to that,” she admitted, laughing. “I don’t really know much about agriculture at all! I think it was just because I was active in Extension Homemakers.” one no longer makes every meeting of the Flint Hill club, particularly in the winter months. But she hasn’t slowed up her volunteer work. She helps three times a week at the Senior Citizen Nutrition site, donating about 60 hours per month there. She drives patients who cannot provide their own transportation back and forth to the county mental health clinic and serves on the clinic’s advisory board as well as the advisory board for the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP). She’s been a member of the Rappahannock Library Board and is a charter member with the Front Royal Oratorio Society. “And I’m busy m my church (Flint Hill Methodist). I sing in the ’ choir and I’ve taught Sunday School there for 48 years. I’ve watched the kids grow up. Some of my former Sunday School students have babies and grandbabies now.” Last year, Barbara was Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson’s senior intern, spending several weeks during the summer on Washington, D.C.’s Capitol Hill. She also writes a regular column for the publication, “Virginia Postmaster,’ Barbara has handled the assignment for 19 years, twice winning awards for her journalistic endeavor. Her long standing involvement with Extension Homemakers continues to bring her personal satisfaction. She sees the program being just as meaningful today as it was during hard times when women put the skills they’d learned at club meetings to use in feeding and clothing their families. “Extension Homemaking can be very helpful to young homemakers who are just starting out. So many young people who begin families today have no idea what to feed them except junk food. Many young women are absolutely stumped by having little children. Our nutrition programs can be especially helpful to them. A lot of it is still the same thing— making do with what you have,” Barbara said. “I sure believe in Extension Homemaking! It’s something I’ve been interested in all my life,” she continued. “I’ve enjoyed it ever since I joined and I’ve reaped so many benefits.” Barbara would like to see more of Rappahannock’s younger women ‘joining Homemaker’s Clubs. “I surely recommend it to young people. I know they look at some of us older members) and ask themselves what they could possibly have in common with those old grandmothers. But we eiyoy young people. We hope they epjoy us.” —Photo Courtesy of Florence Vicken AFTER PATIENT COAXING, Sheriff John Henry Woodward persuaded youngsters to cooperate in the fingerprinting service offered at the Extension Homemakers’ open house last Saturday. Homemakers’ Creed As homemakers we strive to: Have our organization foster the highest ideals in home, church, school and public life. Have our homes reach out in service to the community and help unite the people. Have cooperation and progress the leading forces in our community. Study the best ways to do everyday work that we may find joy in common tasks well done. Be kind beyond standards of charity, avoid thoughts and words that condemn. Be more thoughtful than love requires, maintain the highest ideals of Christian life. It Makes A Richer Life By RUSSIE MILLER nMHill E.& Member I have belonged to the Homemaker’s Chib for 40 years. It has made a richer life for my family and me. Summers were made up of summer projects - such as wildflower gardens, hiking, summer camps. (We still have our wildflower garden). The PTA in the schools was started by the Homemakers Club - that was our winter project. We also helped start the fire company. Everything that was needed in the community, the EH club was contacted. Many crafts were learned - fabric painting, tole painting, furniture refinishing, cooking skills. It is more ftin to learn with a group. We laughed at our failures and rejoiced at our successes. Put together the power of a dozen or two women and you will realize a community without an EH club is like a community without a church for the influence of good in that community.

A half century. However expressed, it’s a long, long time that Katherine Riley has given her energy, commitment and talents to the Extension Homemakers’ program. Katherine is a charter member of the Amissville Extension Homemakers’ Club, originally organized in 1932. She’s filled the offices of president, secretary and treasurer, given demonstrations, helped with Ruritan Club dinners and fund raising luncheons, served as a 4H leader, judged fairs and assisted with rummage sales. An excellent seamstress, she’s been a willing teacher to not only her sister EH members but to anyone with a sewing problem. She estimates that over the years she’s made more than 5,000 garments, altered thousands of others and sewed countless slipcovers and pairs of drapes. Katherine has mended the pink coats of huntsmen, taken up mm m u —.if tuxedo*, made wedding veils to order when a commercial model didn’t arrive in time for the ceremony and saved the day in many other emergencies where a needle and thread were the only answer. She’s finished a long list of EH and other projects that includes braiding a 10x12 living room rug, caning chairs, making draperies and slipcovers and sewing clothes for herself and for clients. In addition to being < a professional seamstress, housewife and homemaker, Katherine has been an active member of the Amissville Baptist Church for 60 years and arranges the church (lowers for four months of the year. She has served on numerous church committees, prepared communion for 28 years, taught Sunday school for 35 years and is still a substitute teacher. She’s also an amateur historian who has researched her family tree. A direct descentdent of the Amiss family for whom the village is named, she is married to Stanish W. Riley, also an Amissville native. In summing up her 60 yean in Extension Homemaking, the Amissville club’s 1978 yearbook, dedicated to Katherine Riley, says it best: “Katherine is always willing to share her knowledge. With her wit and pleasant manner, she is •joy to ill who know her." * Proud To Be A Homemaker By SHERRY JOHNSON Woo*rtlW K.H. Itahr For as long as I can remember, I have always strived to be a housewife and mother. Oh, I dreamed of being prestigious, influential in a large business corporation, but I still longed to become a housewife. Well, I went through high school, attended four years of home economics classes and began to learn that there was more to being a housewife than I realized. After finishing high school, and yet to have my first serious relationship, I thought it best for myself and my family to make an attempt at another career. I went to college for two years and graduated with a secretarial degree, still no closer to becoming a housewife. I took a position at the college as a secretary with the Ceta program. It was only for six months but I thought that would give me some time to see what I wanted to do with my life. For me and my future, that was the wisest decision I ever made. During those six months, I met my future husband-to-be, not knowing it, of course. We dated for two and a half years, fell in love and decided to make a commitment for life. God had truly heard and answered my prayers. I was marrying a wonderful man and our future was beginning. I continued to work for two more years. During the two and a half years of dating and two years of marriage, I held jobs as a secretary, cashier, dispatcher, utility cleric, bank teller and a secretary again. Then we found out we were going to become Mom and Dad. The -Lord had blessed us again, just at the right time. At six months pregnant I quit work as a secretary and began getting ready for our new addition and eryoying being a housewife. Now, suddenly I was a homemaker. I was a homemaker before, but I didn’t enjoy it because I was so rushed with a full-time job plus taking care of my husband and home, doing the laundry, cooking well balanced meals, ironing, canning. I was just getting them done. Now I had time to arrange my house, plan my meals, enjoy doing things with my husband and dream a little about the baby we were having. i also had tune to get involved in community activities. I really wanted to become involved and get to know my neighbors. I wasn’t that out-going of a person so I really did not know where to start. Then a friend asked me to come with her to an Extension Homemakers Chib Meeting. So I did and soon learned that I could be prestigious and influential in my own community as a homemaker. It may not be glamorous but the rewards are unlimited. I learned to be able to express my ideas. Through working with other members, I could again in self respect, share with others, grow as a person, and most of all gain strong, sincere, loving friendships. I sincerely believe Extension Homemakers Clubs do foster the highest ideals; that our homes reach out and helps the communities in which we live. In our meetings we study the best ways to help us enjoy every day work and be satisfied in knowing we have done a job well. Being with the other members has helped me to become a better person. We all can improve even a little bit. Most of all it has helped me become a stronger Christian and a better friend. I AM proud to be a HOMEMAKER. It is a full time job. Sometimes you think you will never catch up, but there is always tomorrow and as I have mentioned the rewards are unlimited. You too can be proud to be a part of this organization. Won’t you join us? Come to any of the four dub meetings held each month in Washington, Amissvilie, Flint Hill and Wood vilie. EXTENSION HOMEMAKERS are learning through sharing. Come find out what WE can do for YOU. Message Of The Creed By EDNA KIDWELL AMk I.H."— I love the Homemaker’s creed and what they stand for in the community. I have learned much from attending the Homemaker's Chib meetings. Each Homemaker is eager to share their recipes and then* methods for making household chores easier. I have learned to make many different crafts. The pleasure of working with such congenial ladies makes it a many fold delight. "DOC" GODFREY'S 1984 SKYLARK SALE DON'T MlSSWtS ONE! 2-DOOR LIMITED WHITE/BUIE TOP-DEMO.

Celebrating Small Business ffeelc, May 6-12,1984 Antique Market Begins Second Year By JON HEDDLESTON hn^iMKkNmSbltVrte They’re looking forward to a better year in this, their second year in business. Still, Peggy and Arthur Smith, owner-operators of The Sperryville Antique Market, go home at night tired with more work left to do. Their initial year in business wasn’t an easy one. At least once, they thought seriously of quitting. “We were discouraged,” Peggy recalled, while taking time out from painting and other activities for an interview. We thought of closing last August, after only 2Vi months (in business). It’s hot, we thought, and no one comes. ‘Maybe we should close, Arthur,’ I said.” it was a typical midsummer day in Virginia, the kind of day when everyone hopes for an honest-to-goodness dowpour. Arthur was hedging, but ready to agree. Together, Peggy and Arthur shared their thoughts with Emmett White, load antique entrepreneur and auctioneer and—according to Peggy— the reason the Smiths were able to open in the first place. Emmett paused, removed his hat, wiped sweat from his brow, and agreed to dose in August and reopen in September. After all, wouldn’t the cool weather and hot apple dde turn the public out? The decision had been made, temporarily. Peggy, Arthur and Emmett had been to Luray that day, and had headed home in separate cars. All three sat out the 15-or-so mile ride home just thinking. All reached the same conclusion—it’s hot everywhere in August. “It would have been « saster,” Peggy said, retSStf? ing the difficult times* and wiping tears from her eyes. “We would have been starting over pounding pavement, dropping ads,” she said. Ironically, the first weekend in August, the Sperryville Antique Market drew a crowd. “And the crowds never stopped coming,” Peggy smiled. Learn Step By Step “Without question, starting a business I knew nothing about was like learning to walk,” Peggy said, recalling those first months. The Smiths had to learn about advertising, and they had to learn fast. “The most difficult part was getting our name on the map,” Peggy said. The Smiths had hoped to establish business by word of mouth. “You just can’t beat it,” Peggy noted. Initially, though, word of mouth wasn’t enough. The Smiths teased the market of fickle antique shoppers by placing daily and weekly newspaper ads. Still, more was needed. They checked into television advertising, and decided on a 30-second spot. “We’d get feedback on ads from people coming in,” Peggy yaid. “A man from Luray saw our ad on T.V. and brought his family in. “You learn from experience,” she continued. “We’ve found it best to stick with (ads in) weekly papers ... rather than the dailies. ” People Help Still, the greatest “life” the Smiths have received, Peggy said, is from the people. Not just the customers, but the ones who showed up to help out in just a nick of time. Peggy recalled several examples, one that occurred on thfe eve of the Smith’k first day in business, at 2 in the morning. Peggy was trying to add the finishing touches for grand opening. “I was tired, and I’d lost perspective,” she said. In came Phyllis, Magrab, (a dealer at the market) asking, ‘What can I do to help.’” According to Peggy, the willingness of people to pitch in at critical times has helped more than the business—it has helped the spirit, too. Edith and Jessie Pond of Sperryville were there on opening day. “Edith helped with flowers and Jessie served dder which Elmer Atkins (of Sperryville) donated,” Peggy readied. When the Washington Press Club came to the market, Rose Calamoe of Reva prepared a buffet lunch. And when the parking lot was jammed by cars competing for spaces, neighbor Rick Harper acted as parking attendant, something he did on his own initiative. "Local people really helped,” Peggy said. "And supported us by coining in and bringing their families.” And the Smiths’ business is growing. The market opened last Saturday with 21 dealers, up from 11 butt year. Still, success is tneasured in simple things, according to Peggy. “What we’re doing is like being newly married again,” she chimed. “We gave up establishment and security; we left family and friends. Arthur was 44,1 was 43. We made a decision to start over again...We’ve never regretted it.” The Sperryville Antique Market now is open weekends and holidays, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. In addition to offering "Something of quat; said, storage space for rent also is available. —Kippatunoock Newt FlMo/Joa Heddkttoa PEGGY AND ARTHUR SMITH, owners of the Sperryville Antique Market, anticipate more business and more fun during 1984.

Brad Burke of Country Elegance stands outside Candles “N” Things, where his family business began. Country Elegance Grows From Modest Beginnings By JON HEDDLESTON fawahawMck News Staff Writer When Country Elegance of Sperryville opened on April 15, it had a lot of family behind it. That’s because the quaint store and accompanying cabins are owned and operated by the Burkes: Brad and Joan and their son and daughter-in-law, Glenn and Beverly. “The four of us are going to make the decisions, not just one of us.” Brad said with conviction. Brad long had dreamed of starting such a business, one in which he could create and build things of value with his own hands—something he knew the family could participate in and enjoy as well. The Burkes are from Amissville, and already had built a solid reputation in the construction business. Brad had been a construction worker since 1956. when, after high school graduation, he began working apth his father. His son Glemfcf a skilled mason, also nas/Pstablished a good reputation. Still, for Brad, the construction business wasn’t enough. It was becoming too routine. “Although I worked for myself, there’s a lot of difference between working to put a house on the market and this (Country Elegance), where ever nail is yours,” he said. Discovers Satisfaction Brad opened “Candles & Things” last year, using one of five cabins that are located on the property, which is on Route 211 near the approach to Skyline Drive. business venture took a lot of love—and sweat—from the entire family. “We had to get it done to open in a from the start, the r week,” Brad remembered. “We worked together; it was a miracle.” The things the Burke learned last year made Brad sure that this was the business he was looking for. “One of the things that sold well last year was pine cone wreaths,” Brad explained while holding one up. “Ninety percent of the cones (on this one) are Virginia scrub pine. “One day I was in here working on one, and some people came in from D.C.,” Brad continued. “They said, ‘Hi,’ and then whispered to each other, ‘Look, he’s actually back there making it.’ “There’s a benefit in making things locally,” Brad said. “When people go into an area, they feel in their hearts they, are buying something that grew here. They’ve got a local treasure. It has a lot more value. People know it’s not from Taiwan. There’s a lot of satisfaction in making something and having someone like it well enough to buy it.” Expansion Follows Many of the Burke family’s creations originate in some local pine tree, field, forrest or along the country roadside. These items are just the materials that become the crafts, however. “I have six to 10 acres of big pines where I get my pine cones,” Brad said. Right now, they’re good and bright. The teasels, milkweed and goldenrod I cut on the side of the road on my way here. I pick the acorns, and peach pits have good color. All are sprayed with polyurethane.” Last year, the pine cone wreaths were a hot item. “I had a ball,” Brad recalled. “I’d make five, six, maybe 10 wreaths a day. They sold very well before Christmas.” The Burkes decided to put the same homespun touch into Country Elegance, the large building that has become the main store on the property. They decided on a Christmas shop, offering handmade items year-round. They attended more craft shows in order to learn more about the trade. They added consignment items such as baskets, made by a woman in Warrenton and quilts, sent in by friends from Alabama and Missouri. They made the shop bright and cheerful, and visitors are overwhelmed by the selection of unusual, inexpensive gifts. It’s one other thing the Burkes said they learned firsthand: Quality and economy can go hand in hand. “We have some crafts here that people can afibndT Brad said. “So many/people said we had darn good prices and quality. We’ve received letters from Maryland and New Jersey.” me munco cue iwiung for more of the same this year, with Country Elegance open every day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and two of the five cabins already rented out to other entrepreneurs, who open them on weekends. The remaining cabins are spoken for, too. “We’re hoping to get some really good crafts people in the cabins,” Brad said. “And if a good item is in one of them, we won’t duplicate it (in a different shop). We’ll work together to offer variety...and stay away from souvenirs,” he added. 1 Small Business Week Proclaimed President Reagan has proclaimed May 6-12 “Small Business Week.” Small businesses employ half of the private sector workforce, and generated all of the 982,000 new jobs created between 1980 and 1982, according to the Small Business Administration. Small businesses across the United States generate 39 percent of the gross national product. A “Small Business Person of the Year” representing every state will be honored at White House and Capitol Hill ceremonies later this year.

Twenty Wet Panthers Advance To Regional^ By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON NVVI Staff WriUr It was a bedraggled, droopy and dripping bunch that piled into the bus for the trip back to Rappahannock County High School from last Thursday's Bull Run District track championships in Berryville. After an undefeated season for both squads and high hopes for district, the RCHS girls’ contingent finished third and the boys fifth. But there were still grins aplenty among the water soaked athletes as 20 Panthers qualified for this week's regional. Distance ace Scott Keithley wore the widest smile after setting two district records. "What would he have done on a clear day!” wondered coach Ann Spieker, pointing out that the RCHS senior established new marks in the mile and two mile in the pouring rain. me district meet started under a steady drizzle that picked up to downpour classification during the field events. Kids and spectators huddled under sheets of plastic and sleeping bags, trying vainly to stay warm and dry. The most popular people on Clarke County's athletic fields were those who came prepared with umbrellas but they were few and far between. Crowded with wet, overheated bodies, big yellow school buses turned into lag yellow saunas as young people who couldn’t find an umbrella to share sought shelter there. Coaches and athletes both grumbled and complained, second guessing toe frganizera who failed ton-; Schedule the district Championships to Monday** in-case-of-rain date even though forecasts since the night before predicted showers turning into thunderstorms. Rubberized Track Clarke’s track is rubberized asphalt so its surface wasn’t effected. However, water that collected in sheets and puddles created problems with footing and traction in some of the field events, at least for the Panthers. “Our boys were in last place after the field events,” noted coach Spieker. She i ■topped short of blaming their performance on weather conditions, however. “We lacked depth. We have one outstanding athlete in each event but most of the district schools have at least two with experience. With a few exceptions, the boys who placed —-both for Rappahannock and our opponents — were athletes with (Hie or more years of experience. Half our boys are new to track this season. They should do much better, next year,” she said. The rain tripped up a few athletes. Pole vaulters ■lipped, long jumpers slid and high jumper skidded into the bar. Rappahannock’s Katheryn Davis, expected to place in the long jump, took a bad fell as she hydroplaned across a puddle on her approach to the pit, knocking her breath out and shaking her confidence. Clarence Pendleton, a consistent standout in the high jump who advanced to regionals last year as a junior, banged into the bar as his water logged tennis shoes slipped out from under him. Their mishaps in Thursdays’ monsoon knocked both from regional competition in those events. rne oniy nrsis ior Rappahannock boys came from Keithley’s record breaking distance runs. He finished the mile in 4:96.8, four seconds ahead of second {dace, and the two mile in 10:12.3, 12 seconds in front of the runner-up. Others who made the top six in their events to qualify for regionals were Craig Kenyon (second in 800 meter run in 2:06.1), Chris Caperton(third in 400 meterdasl* in 66.6 second).' Wayne Woodard (fourth in the 100 meter dash in 12.1 seconds, fifth in the 200 meter dash in 25.2 seconds), David Fishbein (third in the pole vault clearing 9 feet, fourth in the 300 meter Intermediate hurdles in 46.8 seconds and fifth in the 110 meter high hurdles in 18.2 seconds), Gary Jenkins (fifth in the pole vault clearing 8*6”), Jimmy Freeman (fifth in the 300 meter intermediate hurdles in 46.2 seconds), David Dodson (fourth in the 800 meter run in 2:11), James Dennis SHERIFFS SALE 1979 Chevrolet Chevette, 2 door IB0809Y332729 To be sold Saturday, May 26 at 10:00 a.m. to settle judgement between Cherry Street Building Supply and Glenn & Terry Hitt For more information contact Sheriff John Henry Woodward at 675-3331.

The boys’ 800 meter relay contingent of Wayne Woodard, Terry Jordan, Jeff Fudd and Gari Jackson finished a disappointing third, missing second place and a regional berth by just one tenth of a second. Daria Unbeaten Marie Davis, unbeaten in discus this year, won on her final toss of 99’1” and Annie Tupper took the 400 meter dash in 1:06.6 for Rappahannock’s two blues in the girls’ events. Then Davis took fifth in the shot put behind Rappahannock’s Donna Williams in second and Connie Compton in third as all three Lady Panthers who competed in the district shot finals qualified for regionals. "By dominating a few events, the girls did much better than the boys,” Speker noted. Kaynetta Ghenn took second in the long jump, clearing lBVW and Karan Ludwick claimed second in the two mile, timed at 13:58. The 800 meter relay team of Katheryn Davis, Ann Tupper, Gheen and substitute Rosalind Cook also advance to the regional rounds with a 1:56.5 second place. Other Lady Panthers going on to Fluvanna include Katheryn Davis in the 100 meter dash, Ann Oliver in the 800 meter run, Anita DelGrosso in the 100 meter hurdles and Rosalind Cook Softball Organizing The Rappahannock Softball Lei^ue is looking for teams and players for the 1964 summer season scheduled to get underway later this month. An organizational meeting is set for Thursday night, May 10, at 7:30 p.m. on the Sperryville diamond. For additional information, call 676-3301 or 967-8128. in the 200 meter dash. Double qualifiers Ludwick and Ghenn will also compete in the one mile run and 200 meter dash respectively. Both the 400 and 800 meter relay foursomes ended in third place, just missing the trip to Fluvanna. “We were disappointed that our teams didn't place higher at Berryville but we’re happy for those kids who qualified for the (May 11th) regionals,” concluded coach Spieker. ATHLETIC DIRECTOR John Toth was one of the few in the Rappahannock contingent far sighted enough to bring an umbrella to the Bull Run finals at Clarke County.

Panthers Batting .500 In District By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON IqtdMMckNm Steff Writer “We’re still young,” said RCHS baseball coach Dm Dawson of his 1964 Panthers. “I start live sophomores, two juniors and two seniors. We’re still getting better.” With nine games under their bats and five more to play, the Panthers are 4-5 overall and 3-3 in district play. Their performance ranks them third in Bull Ran, tied with Strasburg aftd Clarice and trailing Manassas Park (7-1) and first place George Mason (7-1). George Mason was runner-up in the state’s single “A” division last year, Dawson noted. “And Manassas Park has everyone back from a team that went 17-4,” he added. “They’re the teams to beat.” The Panthers started the season on an off note, losing two lopsided contests, 11-1 iuhi lo-o, w rage, uie lop team in the Skyline District. “But we only had one day of practice before we played those two games,” Dawson said. “We were hurt by not being able to practice outside. With a young team, we needed to work together and we couldn’t in the rain.” This wet spring has continued to play havoc with the progress of the RCHS nine, forcing cancellation of practice sessions and rescheduling of games, but Dawson is impressed with the improvement his boys have shown. And the interruptions certainly haven’t hurt their batting stats. Dawson’s top three batters —Jeff Porter, Curtis Foster and Chucky Jenkins — are hitting over .400 and the next three in the power rankings — H.B. Wood, Mike Atkins and Rob Brown — are hitting over .300. “We have more balance at the plate this year,” Dawson said. “We don’t depend on two or three people for our scores. But this is a good hit ting league,” he acknowl edged. “We’re averaging 1< or more runs a game but m are our opponents. The win ner is whoever has the bi( inning.” Runs scored by oppo nents point out the Pantero weaknesses. “We’re weak ii pitching,” the coach noted, On the mound, he must de pend on Jeff Porter, Rappahannock’s baseball ace whc was all-district as a sophomore last season. “Jeff* great but he has off days He’s won all four of out games for us. He’s lost tw« and my other pitchers loel the other three. Pitching and defense have hurt us,” Dawson said.

With return matches against both Strasburg and Clarke left to play, the Panthers could lay claim to sole possession of third place with a couple of wins there. They must also face second {dace Manassas Park twice and conceivably, with a little Mp ftoro other upset minded Bull Run squads, could replace the Cougars as district runner-ups.

And then I remembered last July when temperatures were in the nineties, and what clouds there were produced less than an inch of rain for the entire month. As a matter of fact, there was a period of time last year from July G through July 20, a span of 16 days, when the average high temperature was 88 degrees and we received no rain at all. At that time some people were saying, “we could stand an entire week of rain, and it wouldn’t hurt a thing.” Mother nature reminds us that vou can’t he turned on and off as if we were switching a light switch on the wall. At this writing, the month of May has provided measurable rainfall for five of its first seven days. Total rainfall to this point is 2.16 inches compared to just .02 inches for the same time last year. High temperatures are averaging 10 degrees cooler and lows are averaging 2.3 degrees cooler. The overall average is 6.1 degrees cooler. If there are complaints about the weather, perhaps it is through the singing of our feathered friends that mother nature is saying, “things can’t be all bad.” RCES Roof Repair (Continued from Page 1) $12,000. Also, rebidding would delay the start of the emergency work on the north wing, Estabrook said. “School will be out before the work can begin anyway,” board member Bill Oliver replied. Despite the architect’s contention that adding slope will not improve water drainage or lengthen the life of the roof, “I would hesitate to go with a flat roof considering what the supervisors did (in adding the condition to approval of the emergency contract),” Reeve said. By consensus, the board instructed Estabrook to write the roofing company, stressing displeasure over the unexpected increase in repair costs and emphasizing that the Board of Supervisors’ authorization for the work was based on a cost projection of $27,760 plus $3,000 to $4,000 at most for adding slope. The superintendent was also authorized to negotiate with the Martin firm for an increase not to exceed $4,000, “the top quoted.” After a reply is received, the board members agreed to decide on whether to reopen the bidding on the repair work. Estabrook noted that the board could vote to withhold final payment for leak repairs to the gymnasium roof section just completed until a “clearer understanding” is reached with the E.M. Martin Company. Later, during approval of bills, the board agreed to leave the insurance of that final payment to the superintendent’s discretion. In a final comment on roof repairs,* Reeve pointed out a possibility with much more serious financial implications. The 1984-85 school budget approved by the supervisors last week carries an allocation of $110,000 to finish the long delayed RCES roof repair project. The same unexpected increase in adding a sloped roof on the north wing may be reflected in that figure for the entire building when final estimates are received.

Gorman explained that public support was on the decline, and by reducing its staff, the center had saved $81,000. She said that on the average other counties in Virginia receive $6.68 in per capita support, while Rappahannock only spends $2.14. “We’re collecting less than half in dollar support,” she said. Linda Dietel presented a request for $1,000 for the Child Care Learning Center’s new building program. She explained that local support is instrumental in enabling the school to gain grants from foundations elsewhere. Several parents whose children are enrolled in the school, presently known as Sursum Corda, also expressed support. In addition, Joe Sherman, an architect from Madison who helped select the site for th^ new building on Route 211,. testified on behalf of the request, saying there was much interest outside of Rappahannock in such a school. Bob Eastham of Flint Hill spoke against the request. “I admire their enthusiasm, but this is a private matter and you would be erroneous in supporting it,” he told the supervisors. Eastham expressed concern that proposed funds for construction might later lead to requests for operational support. Sherman explained that the school eventually could support the public school system by offering remedial services for individual students on a contract basis. Need For Generator Donald Gore then spoke in support of the Sheriff Department’s request for binding of an auxiliary generator. Now that all fire and rescue dispatching for the county now originates in the Sheriffs Department, the generator is needed in case of power failures. “One time an electrical storm put the whole dispatch center down,” Gore explained. “We went to Flint Hill for a generator just to operate the phones,” Sheriff John Henry Woodward added. Gore also spoke in support of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Emergency Medical Services (EMS) request for |2,600. EMS is affiliated with the fire and rescue association. E. P. Luke, chairman of the Library Board of Trustees, spoke on behalf of the county library’s proposed funding request of (2,000, which could be transferred from the general fund to the library fund. “We don’t even pay expenses when people come (as guest speakers). I think we should,” he said. Commonwealth’s Attorney Luke then spoke in support of a $4,000 request for a Victim-Witness Program. Luke indicated that jt’s often difficult for the victim of a crime to get information or Building? •Paint •Lumber •Millwork •Hardware Complete One-Step BUILDING SUPPLY Warrenton Building Material Co., Inc. on the By-Pist, Warerton 347-1400 to know who to call when he or she has questions about restitution payments or other concerns. Luke said the $4,000 could be used to hire someone part-time to keep victims up to date. David Konick disagreed with the need for such fiinding, explaining that such notification and procedures already should be handled through the present system, and not at additional taxpayer expenses. Konick said that it’s the duty of the probation officer to make sure of all these things, including restitution, and to report progress or problems to the parole officer. Alter mucn deliberation, the supervisors, who indicated support for the proposal, decided instead to consider the request further with the rest of the proposed budget. The supervisors also discussed the need to examine insurance coverage and premiums cost for buildings such as the courthouse and jail, to ensure that the buildings and their contents are adequately covered. The supervisors lata* went into executive session to discuss contracts and land acquisition. Hie final public hearing on the proposed budget will take place at the courthouse on June 4. jM ID-TOWN L MOTOR INN Centrally located Block from ocean Across from PavilKon Amusement Park Cable TV..
