The Town Council approved on May 9 a request from Pat Foster and Camille HarrisFoster to open a bed and breakfast on Main Street. In addition, Council granted Peter Kramer permission to operate a bed and breakfast on Gay Street Extended. Both requests had been delayed for more than a month while Council made its final decisions. Stipulations Included Each project was approved with one nuyor stipulation: Should either owner later sell their bed and breadfast, the next owner would have to come before the Town Council again to reapply for the bed and breakfast permit. “Any ‘special use’ permit will go with the people who own the property," Mayor Newbill Miller said, and the Council made clear prior to granting approval. The bed and breakfast projects had been delayed due to concerns that they might impact the residential character of the neighborhoods and lead to other commercial ventures. The Town Council had postponed its decision until hearing from town attorney Douglas Baumgardner. In a letter dated April 24, Baumgardner said that the courts have held that “the issuance of a special exception permit, standing alone, does not create a legally binding precedent.” Baumgardner further suggested that Town Council could specify that any increase in the intensity of use of the properties would require an additional special use permit. Actually, the conversion of both properties to bed and (Continued on Page 4) —Rappahannock News Photo/Franklin Schmidt WORK BEGAN MAY 9 to complete the road-widening job at the Points of View farm in Hint Hill.

Staff Writer There were smiles on the faces of Rappahannock’s School Board members after the supervisors approved the proposed 1984-85 school budget with a reduction of only $18,000. But those smiles were strained last week as the School Board received a current budget update from superintendent Robert Estabrook. “I hope I never have to live with a budget this tight again,” Estabrook said, referring to the 198384 appropriations request that the supervisors cut by $116,830. The reduction left the School Board with $28,333 less to run the county’s educational programs in 1983-84 than was allocated in the previous year. With 2Vt months remaining ip the current fiscal year, ‘‘I’m still concerned. I still can’t say we’re home free (and will be able to stay within the bottom line figure approved by the supervisors for school expenditures)” Estabrook said. “It’s mighty tight.” Several line items an running in the red, the superintendent noted. Under “other instructional costs,” expenditure has outstripped appropriation by $14,300, the result of a court decision in a special education cases that went against the School Board. The budget shows a $10,000 shortfall in “electrical service” as well. “We were asked to cut that considerably even though the rates were going up and we had a contract for an electrically heated building,” Estabrook recalled. In addition, the board’s insurance consultant “misread insurance premiums to the tune of $5,500” while an error by the insurance company that carries the board’s workmen’s compensation coverage led to another underestimate' of $5,146, according to the superintendent. “That adds up to a to(Continued on Page 12) Literary Loan Allows Brick,Mortar By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON WhMMck Dm Staff Writer “We’re simply giving the supervisors room here to go bride and mortar,” said superintendent Robert Estabrook, explaining the new $1,509,079 total on the loan application for the high school expansion at last week’s School Board meeting. In authorizing a goahead for a literary loan apto finance the son “wanted to make qlnar they were in favor of the prqject but they didn’t include a dollar figure,” Estabrook noted. He added that the supervisors had also directed that all related project costs — architect fees, topographical studies, construction and equipment — be induded in the loan application. Initially, the project, which centered around a new pre-engineered metal gymnasium and remodeling of existing space into classrooms slid expanded support facilities, carried a price tag of $836,475. At eight percent of the total, architect fees amounted to $66,918 with $53,584 induded in the proposed 198485 school budget to be paid with local tax dollars. In approving the school budget, the supervisors transferred architect fees in the literary loan application, action that doesn’t lower the bottom line of the school budget but instead balances the expenditure figure with a like amount on the revenue side. “At this time, the Board of Supervisors has not decided what they’re going to build,” noted chairman Beverly Massie. “Several of the supervisors are very adamant in hoping it will be brick and mortar so we hpve to make our literary loan application for the maximum amount.” Construction costa for a r. brickand mortar expansion as opposed "to pre-engineered metal will be $1,303,777, according to Estabrook. The higher figure naturally boosts the architect fees that must be included in the 1984-85 school budget, he pointed out. Instead of $53,534, the necessary appropriation is $83,442, eighty percent of the total $104,302 which will be due the architects for a brick and mortar design. “But the increase won’t inflate the 1984-85 school budget because it will be balanced by incoming revenue from the literary loan,” E 8 tab rook emphasized. Whether with a pre-engineered metal gymnasium or brick and mortar construction, the building project can still be spread over a two year period the superintendent said. He re-emphasized that applying for the 20 year five percent interest loan entails no commitment to proceed with the construction project; it only guarantees that, if the application is approved, the money will be earmarked for Rappahannock for up to five years. Assistant superintendent Tom Campbell, in going over the educational plan that must accompany the loan application, described it as “basically a space study — how many square feet for science, how many square feet for mathematics and so on...It tells the folks in Richmond what Wit money. “We’re building not for increased enrollment but for curriculum expansion,” Estabrook noted. He reported that, as of a month ago, the list of applicants for literary loans numbered 42. According to estimates, the loan fund is sufficient in the coming budget year for twice that many. “They’ve gauged it for five years into the future and the literary loan balance looks quite healthy,” he added. “Put ‘Rush!’ on this,” concluded board member Paul Nichols, tapping the loan application.

First produced in Paris in 1944, while France was still under Nazi occupation. “No Exit” did much to establish Sartre as one of the leading existentialist philosophers of his day. “No Exit” takes place in a modem room with couches and coffee table, in simple blacks and whites. The play reveals three people redefining themselves in a new existence after death. As the actors travel through a self-created hell, the production explores a concept of hope and humor not often revealed in Sartre’s work. Director Dan Kolak wrote music for the production, and Bart Whiteman, who played the psyciatrist in “Equus” is in the cast. This production of “No Exit” has been hailed by Arch Campbell of Channel 4 News and the Washington Post as the best ever done in Washington, D.C. Tickets for “No Exit” are $5 for RAAC members and $6 for nonmembers if purchased in advance. Tickets will be $1 more at the door.

Dr. Young Named Trustee At the last Supervisors’ meeting, William H.

Dr. Young will bring to the five-person Board of Trustees of the Library his broad experience on many civic, governmental and professional, as well as medical boards, and his proven energy and ability in tapping financial resources and implementing programs that have enhanced the institutions with which he has been associated. For more than 20 years Dr. Young was a resident of Alexandria where he was active in civic affairs. In particular, he served as chairman of the Alexandria Jail Committee, a charter member of the Northern Virginia Criminal Justice Advisory Committee and was a director for the Alex Mills E.

Robb, who was honorary -chairman of the event. D. French Slaughter, Jr. of Culpeper served as chairman. Godwin became the second Virginian to earn the honor, the purpose of which is threefold: • To provide an opportunity for Virginians to pay tribute to one of their own; • To establish a Virginian citizen Hall of Fame at the Northern Virginia 4-H Center, • To create or renew ties with friends throughout the Commonwealth. Former U.S. Senator Harry F. Byrd Jr. was the first recipient of the award, which is given annually on the second Saturday in May.

Mills has served twice. He’s the only person in more than 100 years in achieving that honor...Of those (21) men...I do believe...the name of Mills E. Godwin Jr. will stand out of the top two or three who have served.” “I think the award given to me today symbolizes what Virginians...like to think, and say, about those who have served them,” Godwin said in accepting the honor and an award clock in the shape of the commonwealth. Several Rappahannock among them: Mr. and Mrs! Fanning Baumgardner and former Judge Rayner Snead of Washington; Douglas Baumgardner and James W. Fletcher of Sperryville.

THE CORNER SHELF 102-B North Main Sneer Culpeper, Vo. 825-4411 NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF A PROPOSED RATE INCREASE BY VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY Cam No. 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 ancf 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 for 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 compliance 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 Investment 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 B1, 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 i© make a statement at the public hearing, either for or against the appli&tion, 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. Brasfietd, Esquire, 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) copies 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.

GOINGS ON IN THE ARTS * By TUTT 3TAPP-HARRIS LAURIE MARSHALL ForRAAC RCHS Talent Show An evening of imaginative entertainment at the high school was capped off by three winners of the Parent’s Booster Club’s Talent Show. Marie Davis (1st place) belted out “And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going” with poise, power and range; Julie Burke (2nd place) jumped in with both feet to a musical description of the absurdity of acting classes in an acting/singing rendition of “Nothing” and the folk singing duo of Brian Barnes and Elwood Dodson (3rd) showed their expertise by playing guitar and blending voices. Also deserving of mention are Maria Roemer’s modem dance based on “Flashdance” and the visuals of Jon McCullough’s group’s portrayal of David Bowie’s “Chinagirl,” black and white clothes on singers and guitarists with a young woman (Ann Oliver) dressed in white face,' brilliant red kimono and blue slippers moving in tiny ancient steps. The 10 members of the S Street Scanner Boys from Fairfax brought new twists to the breakdancing phenomena that is sweeping the county. A highlight was the intricate isolation of hands, arms, shoulders, head, torso and feet and individualized choreography involved in the passage of movement from one dancer to the next in “Electricity.” This year’s art show featured the striking portraits of David Fishbein in ink and pencil; Mariit Nord’s oil paintings of tall ships in stormy seas; Louis Moore’s desert landscape with a sharp diagonal road giving a strong sense of distance; Will Oliver’s image of a man pulling a rearing horse in oil and Jim McCullough’s humorous sculpture of a small black cow with a white hu WANTED auto & light duty truck technicians.

A handsome sign now hangs above the awning bearing the name of the theater and its sponsoring group, the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community. The sign is the fruition of three artists’ work— furniture designer Peter Kramer designed and carved the sign, including the recessed script used for the theater’s name; Dan Lewis, graphic designer and manager of Middle Street Gallery, painting the green and ivory background and the gold-leaf used in the recessed letters; and Davette Leonard, calligrapher and sign-maker, lettered RAAC’s name around the outer edge.

The street itself, however, has been called by that name ever since George Washington laid out the original plat of the town in 1749. Legend has it that the name hails from Gay Fairfax, reputed to be a sweetheart of Washington’s. While this cannot be corroborated, both Elizabeth Johnson, co-author of Fact, Fiction, Foolishness and the Fairfax Story, and Helen Holscuh of the Historical Society agree that the street was named for a young lady named Gay. The new sign is a tribute to the antiquity of the town and the commitment to preserve this aspect of Washington. Basketweaving Janet Kerig, a local craftsperson who is often featured at Glen Echo and whose works have appeared at the Design Center in Washington, D. C. and the Smithsonian Folklife Festival, is offering a one-day workshop making a melon basket of wild grapevine and reeds. The session will be devoted to completing a basket. The workshop will be presented at the Rappahannock Recreation Center in two sections— on May 26 for adults and on June 23 for children—and will run from 9:30 to 5:30 on each day. The cost will be $40, and pre-registration is required. All participants should bring a lunch. To pre-register, call 9878670 or 675-3193. This workshop is being presented in co-operation with RAAC. Aylors Reunite To Sing For Mother’s Day By JON HEDDLESTON fappahaanock News 8tafT Writer Lottie Aylor of Speryville used to walk to church with her family during the years when everybody walked. Sometimes, for a revival, the three-mile trek was made after dark. Still, the Aylor’s six children, four boys and two girls, would make the journey that their parents believed was one of life’s most important ones— to participate in worship. Last Saturday, in celebration of Mothers Day, the Aylor children united at the Hopewell Baptist Church of Sperryville to honor their mother, Lottie, and reconfirm their commitment to faith. It was the first time in some 15 years that the Aylor family united at church to sing and worship together again. “Special” Service Lottie had arranged a special service at the Hopewell Baptist Church. She welcomed members of her own church and members of the Promised Land Baptist Church to participate. Nearly 50 people attended ; the special service, which centered arounc^thr ««gipg and recitations of the Aylor ’ children and grandchildren, Bessie Grigsby of Promised Lane emceed the service; Reverend John Pendleton, also of Promised Land, gave the benediction. Women First The Aylor women sang first, opening the service with “Amazing Grace.” The men followed with “Swing Low Sweet Chariot,” and “Kum BaYa.” Lottie’s youngest son/ Paul, of Washington, D. C., praised his mother in a recitation; the oldest, William “Moody,” also lauded his mother in a recitation. Moody read from a Mother’s Day card that he sent home from Germany in the late ’50’s, while he was stationed overseas in the Army. “Some people think being a mother is having a child; but it’s what happens after a child gets in this world that makes a mother,” Moody said. Mom Aylor sat back, swayed keeping time with the music, and smiled. “You’ve got to get together while you’re Uving,” she said. “Don’t wait until you’re gone for the family to get together.” ■ Four generations of Aylors participated. They were: Sons Moody, Sam and Paul; Daughter Charlotte; Grandsons Pete and Nils; Granddaughter Janet; Great-grandson, Christopher. Lottie, who has been a member of the Hopewell Baptist Church for 60 years, gave opening remarks. Son James Edward “Sud” of ^ W ashingtoiy^D.'V^^^and Falls Qpirch, Va. were unable to Attend. Other participants in the service included Bertha Freeman and Terry Clanagan, who gave recitations; and Mrs. Roberta Jackson, who sang a solo, and Tracy LaDell Veney, who sang with the Aylor women. Piano accompaniment was provided by Mrs. Nanette Butler of Sperryville. An informal cake and punch reception followed the service. Literary Loan (Continued from Page 1) Massie noted, in reference to the other three schools among the initial 32 that have advanced to the semifinals. (The schools are Western Albemarle High School near Charlottesville, Woodberry Forrest private school from Orange and E.C. Glass, “AAA” powerhouse from southwest Virginia.) “It’s always nice to be in the final four, whether in the Kingdome or somewhere else,” Estabrook added. There were more congratulations, this time for cafeteria coordinator Judy Burke, after the School Board reviewed the monthly cafeteria report. The balance in that fund as of the end of April was $22,867. (Last year, the fund showed a negative balance.) Board member Randall Updike asked for the reason behind the improvement in the lunch program’s financial picture. Estabrook gave all the credit to Burke. While the cafeteria coordinator puts primary emphasis on nutrition, “she seems to know what kids like, what they’ll buy,” he said, pointing to the increase in average number of meals served per day at both schools, which went from 328 in April, 1983, to 341 in April, 1984. Burke comes up with catchy names for lunch offerings and gives attention to appearance of food in addition to taste and nutrition, he. said. “She loves planning (menus). She really goes at it!” “It looks like a whole lot of people are doing a good job,” Updike remarked. In response to board member Nancy Reeve’s question as to whether the improved financial condition of the cafeteria fund will allow a reduction in lunch prices, Estabrook said he would check with Burke for a recommendation and report back to the School Board. Art Programs Endorsed The School Board voted unanimously to endorse a resolution from the Virginia Commission for the Arts, pledging support for arts programs. The resolution noted that the State Board of Education’s mandated emphasis on mathematics and science lowered the number of electives available to most students at the secondary level, at the same time that the National Commission on Excellence in Education has stressed its recommendation for achievement in the arts. “Ever increasing budgetary restraints make it difficult, if not impossible, for many of the Commonwealth’s primary schools to provide adequate instruction in the fine arts (including music) during the early formative yearn...The arts which enrich daily life, and promote a sense of community and stimulate economic development are in danger of losing a necessary and important place in the school mrriculum,” the resolution reads. In conclusion the Arts Commission called upon the State Board of Education ind local school boards “to Sasuns that the arts will continue to be an intregal part of the contemporary public xl location curriculum” in Virginia. “A ballplayer’s got to be kept hungry to become a big leaguer.

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 th* Initial step In this Investigation, the Commission directed Vepco ar)d 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, ana 10.1 of Title 56 of the Code of Virginia to implement 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. To enable Dominion Resources, Inc 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 Aoplicatlon and service agreement filed by Vepco and Dominion in that proceeding on April 22, 1983. The Commission also provided that the Interim Order would be superseded by a final order after the issues had been fully considered. By order filed April 27, 1984, the Commission consolidated the three proceedings in Case No. PUE830060 and scheduled a public hearing before a Hearing Examiner to begin at 10:00 a.m. on October 23, 1984, in the Commission's Courtroom, 13th Floor, Jefferson Building, Bank and Governor Streets, Richmond, Virginia to receive evidence relevant to all matters related to the corporate reorganization of Vepco. The order stated that the following areas of inquiry are of particular Interest to the Commission: (a) Is It in the public Interest for Vepco to vertically disintegrate (partially or completely) so that all, or any portion thereof, of the generating capacity required to serve its service territory is provided through contracts with entities which are affiliated with Vepco in any manner described in Virginia Code §56-76? (d) 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 iurisdiction for setting rates for Virginia ratepayers, In whole or in part, by the State Corporation Commission of Virginia? i (c) What are Vepco's projected aeneraiton capacity requirements tot this next Vi years and what are 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? (d) Is it in the public interest for Vepco employees to be transferred to a service company for the purpose of providing services to Dominion, Vepco, other subsidiaries of Dominion not yet in being, or unaffiliated interests? (e) Is it in the public interest for Vepco to spin-off its gas division as a subsidiary of Dominion? Companies were ordered to file additional testimony on the delineated issues on or before June 25, 1984. Parties who wish to speak at the public hearing and not participate as a Protestant, may be scheduled by writing the address listed in the last paragraph of this notice. Any person who wishes to comment In writing should send such comment to the same address. Copies of the applications of Companies, the material filed in compliance with Commission order in this proceeding, and the testimony of Vepco's witnesses may be reviewed in the Document Control Center of the Commission or at any office of Vepco where bills may be paid. The additional testimony and evidence to be filed by Companies on or before June 25, 1984, will also be made available for review. On or before July 2, 1984, all persons who expect to submit evidence, cross-examine witnesses, and otherwise participate as Protestants, as provided by Rule 4:6 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure shall file with the Clerk of the Commission an original and twenty (20) copies of a Notice of Protest as required by Rule 5:16(a). A copy of the Notice of Protest shall be served on Companies' counsel, Evans B. Brasfield, Esquire, Hunton & Williams, P. O. Box 1535, Richmond, Virginia 23212. On or before September 28, 1984, all persons who have filed a Notice of Protest and who still expect to participate at the hearing as a party Protestant must file an original and twenty (20) copies of a written Protest as required by Commission Rule 5:16(b) and of all prepared testimony and exhibits of the witnesses to be offered at the hearing and shall serve five (5) copies thereof upon counsel for Companies and three (3) copies upon all other Protestants. On or before September 28, 1984, the Commission's Staff shall file with the Clerk the prepared testimony and exhibits of each witness expected to present direct testimony and shall serve a copy upon Companies' counsel and each Protestant. On or before October 12, 1984, Companies shall file with the Clerk and each Protestant the testimony and exhibits it expects to introduce in rebuttal to the direct pre-filed testimony and exhibits of the Commission Staff and the Protestants. 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.

PubHahad by Wanenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau ot Circulation THURSDAY, MAY 17.1964 A Taste The Town Council may be getting more out of the bargain than they bargained for during their meeting of May 10. On that evening, the Council approved two requests to establish bed and breakfast guest homes in Washington. We believe both were good moves on the part of Council for several reasons. First, citizens can expect less—not more— intensive use of the two properties. In the case of the Gay Street Extended property, neighbors should be relieved—they’re one step closer to a single-family dwelling. Citizens and Council also made it clear that any moves toward more intensive use of the properties, or other commercial ventures in the areas of the two properties, would provide the applicant with an uphill battle. There’s more. Perhaps the Gay ■Street Extended apartments provided too poignant a taste of other cit ies—a bitter taste sometimes experienced when multi-family units are allowed in single-family neighborhoods. Washington is different, and deserves to stay that way. The new bed and breakfasts will help. When guests stay in them, we believe they’ll get a taste of good old Virginian hospitality—the kind too many cities with too many people left behind too long ago. And, visitors will get more. They’ll get something to write home about—Washington, Virginia, with its cordial hosts and friendly merchants housed in quaint—not modem or crowded—shops. So, the bed and breakfasts could boost weekend business in town, too. It’s a nice touch—and taste— from a small city whose residents and Town Council care enough to keep it that way. Budget Supplement We flinched along with the School Board last year when the county supervisors slashed the request for educational funds by $116,830. It meant that our public schools would have $28,333 less to operate with in 1983-84 than they did in 1982-83. But the county’s taxpayers were facing a 81 percent hike in the real estate levy if expenditures weren’t reduced somewhere and, as usual, it wa> the schools that had to bear the burden of relief. And if the Board of Supervisors’ action didn’t make things bad enough, the loss of a legal battle, high electrical bills and underestimates from consultants on insurance costs left school administrators with another $35,000 shortfall to absorb in that already strained budget. Compensation — at least partly — has come where it hurts the most. The budget for instructional supplies at the elementary school was cut in September from $22,000 to $17,500; the amount of paper and duplicating materials supplied to the school reduced by one-third. Presumably, the supervisors made last year’s $116,830 school budget cut to lessen the amount of county funds required for educational programs. Their efforts have been unexpectedly augmented by increased state revenue. Superintendent Robert Estabrook doesn’t know exactly how much more the county will receive from the state than anticipated. That won’t become clear until after the fiscal year ends on June 30. But basic aid per pupils for 1983-84 is $6 more than expected, which works out to over $6,000 at current enrollment figures. In addition, the county has received more than projected for special education, vocational education and sales tax revenue. The School Board must go before the supervisors in June to ask for authority to transfer, funds within cat-, egories of the school budget. We suggest that the School Board also ask for a supplemental appropriation — not to exceed the unexpected windfall that now rests in the county’s coffers — to at least restore the $4,500 cut from the instructional allowance at the elementary school. Principal Maggie Pipper won’t go on a spending spree. If the money is restored, Pipper will follow through on her original plans — made last year when she thought she would be getting $22,000 — to purchase computers for the elementary school. The computers are necessary if our children are to achieve the technological literacy called for by the National Commission on Excellence in Education. The school budget cuts were made to spare the county taxpayer. The county taxpayer has been spared. We now have additional state money sent from Richmond for education programs in the county’s general fund. It’s seems only fair that at least a small portion of that money go for education. Town Council (Continued from Page 1) breakfasts should downgrade the present intensity of use, according to Miller and Kramer. (Kramer spoke only in regard to his own property.) The Kramer property was converted to apartments years ago; Foster and Harris have rented rooms on a short-term basis from time to time. Other stipulations to be met before either bed and breakfast can open is that each be constructed according to plans, and, in the case of the Foster and Harris residence, that the bed and breakfast not open until the septic field is in place. “(We’re) anticipating two weeks if the weather holds,” Harris said when asked when the septic system would be completed. Harris Hollow Discussed Discussion of one septic system led into another Residents and Town Council still are concerned about a septic system for the proposed adult home to be built in Harris Hollow. During a public meeting on April 26, Sam Snead of Washington promised to pursue definitive answers to questions of possible ground and subterranean water contamination before reapplying for appro val of a septic system. The issue, raised by Jimmy DeBergh of Harris Hollow, is that Snead might be able to go ahead with a septic system for the proposed facility after approval by the state Water Control Board — whether residents of Harris Hollow and Washington approve or not. DeBergh presented to the Town Council documentation of subterranian water contamination elsewhere, where Assures in limestone allowed seepage into nearby wells. DeBergh argued that even though Harris Hollow had no limestone, the situation could be similar due to a series of faults that begin in Rush River at Devil’s Stairs. “The gentleman from the State Water Control Board said (at the April 26 meeting) there would be another public hearing,” Miller reminded DeBergh. "That’s true, but the decision still lies in the hands of the State Water Control Board,” DeBergh said. “Town Council should put in on record that they wish to put it (up for) public hearing,” said Werner Krebser. Krebser produced a letter from the Izaak Walton League suggesting that Town Council enact ordinance 15.1-292 of the Code of Virginia. A section of the code that Krebeer alluded to reads: “. . . Such governing body may also prevent the pollution of water and injury to waterworks for which purpose their jurisdiction shall extend to five miles about the same and may make, erect and construct, within or near the county, city or town, drains, sewers and public ducts and acquire within or without such county, city or town, by purchase, condemnation or otherwise, so much land as may be necessary to make, erect, construct, operate and maintain any of the works or plants mentioned in this section...” “Would Council like to study the feasibility of such an ordinance. . Miller asked. Much discussion followed, outlining a possible course of action to be taken. Miller suggested it might be appropriate to inform newly elected Council members of any action to be taken. “It’s a logical step that Council and the new Council look (into such an ordinance) and if it could be proposed for public hearing in July, announce it in June,” Miller concluded.

There appear to be unanswered questions about the proposed adult home to be located at the old ski area in Harris Hollow. I will try to answer in this issue of Rappahannock News and succeeding issues all questions that anyone may have. ‘ r:‘ What is“tbe actylt home that is planned in Harris Hollow? This will be a retirement community for adults licensed by the Department of Social Services of the Commonwealth of Virginia. It will be a type of retirement village for those who need no care, as well as for those who do. There will be several alternatives for the residents depending on their needs. 2. What kind of care will be offered? Probably most of the residents will not need care. For those who want and need it, meals and housekeeping services will be provided as well as personal care according to their needs. 3. What will it cost? We plan to make the costs as reasonable as possible. We are not able to say exactly now what that will be. However, the cost will be in line with what similar establishments charge. 4. How large will the facility be? We are applying for a maximum of 120 units. 5. Will it be built in increments? We are planning to build in increments. We would plan to start with 50 apartment units and a 24-bed home for adults. If that is all that is needed no further units would be added. If there is sufficient demand, there would be 24 more units of a home for adults and 20 units of nursing care. 6. How many employees will it have? It is estimated that if all units are built, approximately 20 to 25 employees will be necessary. Hopefully most will come from Rappahannock. There have been 10 to 15 inquiries for employment already. 7. Where will the employees live? It is expected that employees will live where they are presently living. The house that is now on the premises would be available for one family. 8. What experience have you had in running such a place? One of the partners who has a residence near Amiss ville has other facilities like this and brings 15 years expertise with him and we are consulting with a number of experts in the field. 9. What kind of sewage disposal system will there be? A system that will be in strict compliance with the State Water Control Board regulations, all health regulations and all laws. We wil] go further than the law requires and make every effort to do what is necessary to insure that there is nc contamination in Rush Rivei or any damage to Washington water system or livestock or adjoining watei supplies. 10. What benefit will this home be to Rappahannock County? It will serve the elderly of the county; it will provide employment for people in the county and it will provide an increased tax base for Rappahannock. 11. Will It 'use the services of Rappahannock County^ such as police, volunteer fire and rescue companies? Yes. We will provide some of our own equipment for fire and rescue operations; in addition, there would be completely documented emergency contingency plans to handle any emergencies. We would hope there would be minimal demand on the county volunteer services. 12. Will you move the mountain or damage the environment? In answer to a previous letter—NO! We will not move the mountain—we will not damage the environment. We will leave it for the residents to eryoy. That is one of our main reasons for doing this. We think Rappahannock County is a wonderful place to live, work, and play. What better place to have a home for the elderly. In next week’s issue we plan to answer other questions and give you further details and I will be pleased to answer questions anyone may have, if you wish to phone or write me. SAM SNEAD Rt. 1 Box 345 Washington, Va. 22747 987-8709 Upset Over Declassification io the editor This is to inform you that the following letter has been sent to R. H. Cross, Executive Director of the Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries. Dear Mr. Cross: The Rappahannock County Chapter of the Izaak Walton League of America is greatly concerned over the Commission’s action to declassify as a trout stream that portion of the Rush River which is downstream from the Shenandoah National Park. The facts are the following; 1. There are trout in the Rush River all the way to its confluence with the Thornton River at Rock Mills, and, 2. Your action to declassify the stream is now being used as an excuse to permit development along it, which will reduce water quality, probably to the extent of killing off the trout—in effect a self-fulfilling prophecy. We understand that the Commission advertised its proposed action and even held a public hearing on it. None of this, however, came to the attention «f-Rappahannock residents. It is now rapidly emerging as a major Talent, Art Show Succesg To the editor. The R.C.H.S. Booster Club is happy to announce that our talent show & art exhibit held last Saturday night was a success. We would like to express our gratitude to ALL the many people involved in participating and putting on the show, and to the grand audi local controversy. The Izaak Walton League requests that you reconsider your declassification of the Rush River and allow interested parties to present their views on this subject. NELS A PARSON, President Rappahannock Chapter Izaak Walton League ence out there with their claps & cheers! THANK YOU ALL! NANCY TRIBINO SCHOPPET President “Gold is a good walk spoiled.” — Mark Twain * *0 * “Fans don’t boo nobodies.” — Reggie Jackson r-From Both BarrelsThis Is Virginia Fiscal Conservatism? By GEORGE BOWLES Two news items, seemingly unrelated, caught the eye last week. The first informed us that the U.S. Senate Finance Committee had approved an increase in the national debt to $1.7 trillion. The new limit is up $207 billion from last year. The second item reported that former Gov. Mills E. Godwin Jr., former Sen. Harry F. Byrd Jr. and former Del. Roy Smith of Petersburg had journeyed to Washington. These three musketeers of fiscal conser- .. vatism had gone there to be ordained by President ? Reagan as the heads of the 1984 version of the “Virginians for Reagan” campaign organization. Only when viewed in the context of Virginia politics does the crashing irony of these two bits of intelligence become apparent. Consider first the debt. That whirring sound you hear is probably the late Sen. Harry F. Byrd Sr. rotating in his grave. In 1966, the year he passed away, the entire federal indebtedness from the beginning of the Republic came to just under $314 billion, or only 60 percent more than the amount of last year’s increase alone. Indeed, when Mr. Reagan took office 14 years later in 1980, the debt had grown only to $900 billion. But back in 1966, and long before that, Sen. Byrd Sr. had been shouting from the Washington rooftops about the irresponsibility of the government’s red ink spending. He solemnly warned us that the nation was like a family, and “you know what happens when a family continues to live beyond its means — bankruptcy!” His philosophical disciples, the younger Byrd, Godwin and Smith, gravely nodded assent. It’s probably a mercy the older Byni isn’t around today to witness Uncle Sam’s fiscal fix. And so how is it that these three princes of the Old Dominion’s conservative frith have made this pilgrimage to Washington? Have they clasped to their bosoms the largest national debt in the history of the world? Have they been snookered by the Old Showman’s snake oil sales pitch? Surely they must know that the decline in inflation for which Mr. Reagan claims credit is due more to the recession, the (reluctant) restraint of the Middle East oil sheiks and Federal Reserve Board Chairman Paul A. Volcker, than to any initiative taken by the administration. Surely, also, they must be aware that the “supply side” economic theory has been a laughter. (The pun is intended.) The recovery, if that is what we have, has been purchased with that mountainous tide of red ink which, under Mr. Reagan’s stewardship, has nearly doubled the size of the national debt in three short years. The supply side theory, correctly and truthfully Vi labelled “voodoo economics” by than-preaidential can- y didate George Bush four years ago, had little, if anything, to do with it. " Indeed, Mr. Reagan, the old New Dealer, has done exactly what his one-time idol, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and FDR’s successors did when they got into economic and political trouble. It’s a trick called “spend and spend, borrow and borrow, elect and elect,” With his ineffable crinkly grin, Mr. Reagan has somehow succeeded in wrapping the liberal New Economics of John Maynard Keynes in a conservative cloak of many colors, and Messers Byrd, Godwin and Smith, incredibly, have bought the package, $1.7 trillion debt and all. The only thing that remains now, it seems, is for the Virginia Republican elephant to appear wearing a pince-nez, smiling a toothy smile and sporting a cigarette holder clasped, as they say, at a jaunty angle. “Thanks” From Hackleys To the editor We would like to extend to you our sincere thanks for the article you printed about Hackley’s Store 50th Anniversary Celebration, and to say without all of our business associates, employees, past and present, and our loyal customers this never would have happened. Thank you all so much. GRAHAM AND DOROTHY HACKLEY Amiss ville ( THE' WINGFIELD REPORT M By DENNIS WINGFIELD It appears, at least to this point in the month, that May is trying to rival March for the traditional title of being the “windy” month. Beginning Friday, May 11, May started bringing some steady winds from just about every direction. Friday’s winds came steadily from the South in the afternoon with high clouds allowing the sun to break through most of the day. Saturday dawned with overcast, a brief shower, clearing, and then winds from the Northwest. Sunday and Monday both gathered the winds at gusts up to 30 m.p.h. Sunday’s winds carried in from the South and Southwest through the late evening and Monday’s shifting winds from the North cleared the skies providing us with lots of sunshine. The recent lack of threatening skies, little precipitation and much sunshine has allowed many of us that opportunity to crank up the lawn mower, work in the garden, have our cookouts and eryoy other outside activities. Whether records reveal this May still to be cooler than last year by 4.6 degrees in the daytime but two degrees warmer at night. There has been more rainfall through the first two weeks of this May (2.21 inches) than during the same time period for last May (.24 inches). In the past, May has offered some cool eveningB with temperatures dipping to freezing twice in 1981, in the 30’s six times in 1983 including a low of 29 degrees on May 10. May has also provided some warm days, when in 1982 the temperature soared (for May) to higher than 80 degrees on eleven different occasions, something that has not occurred at all ao far this May. People interested in weather will continue to find May an interesting month. It is almost as if it were tel£ ing us it is trying to shake loose from spring but can’t quite find where summer is...and that’s the way it should be.

Rappahannock Journal •Farm •Business •Garden •Rural Life 7 Natural Wonders Of The Northern Piedmont First of two articles. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the Pyramids of Egypt. Mt. Everest, Australia’s Great Barrier Reef and the Grand Canyon. The man-made and natural wonders of the world have inspired awe in their beholders for centuries. But wonders aren’t limited to the works of the ancients or indeed only to the rest of the world. Virginia’s Northern Piedmont region boasts wonders of its own. A day doesn’t pass without natural beauty of the countryside in Clarke, Fauquier, Loudoun and Rappahannock counties drawing a passing motorist to the side of the road to marvel at what has been created here. No one sees Dulles airport at sunset without feeling exhilaration at the skill of man, the builder, or examines the immense craftsmanship of the North Wales Mansion in Fauquier without experiencing admiration for man, the artist. While every encyclopedia includes a list of the seven Manmade Wonders of the World, no such definitive ranking exists for the marvels of the Virginia Piedmont. Research by Arundel Newspapers reporters, assisted by people throughout the region, has attempted this evaluation of the Seven Wonders of Virginia’s Piedmont. Advisors for this selection were too numerous to mention. They included historians, state senators and delegates, highway engineers, local members of boards of supervisors, newspaper editors and reporters, lawyers, doctors, athletic coaches, real estate agents, veterinarians and others who travel the length and breadth of the Northern Piedmont region. They entirely agreed on only one thing — this section of the Commonwealth does not lack for true natural and manmade wonders. No. 1 The rich farmland and scenic beauty of Fauquier, Loudoun, Clarke and Rappahannock counties. “As a work of art, 1 know few things more pleasing to the eye, or more capable of affording scope and gratification to the taste for the beautiful, than a well-situated, well-cultivated farm." — Edward Everett For sheer natural beauty, there are not many corners of the earth that can match Virginia’s Northern Piedmont. Fertile soil turns the . rolling hills into rolling oceans of lush, green grass every spring. Tidy white board fences and stone walls that were the master works of master craftsman corral handsome thoroughbred mares as they stand watch over foals frolicking in fields, foals that may grow up to make the run for the roses or steeplechasing’s Gold Cup. In adjoining pastures, giant Angus bulls, ebony against emerald, stare off into the distance. As spring turns into summer, green sprouts of corn poke their way through the cultivated earth. By July, the stalks have grown crowns of golden tassles. By October, they’ve dried to brown husks, stark against the bare ground. All through the growing season, round bales of hay spring up like so many loaves of bread. When the days grow shorter and temperatures drop, snow blankets the fields, covering the hay loaves with white icing. In Clarke County, huge gray-green boulders push their way up, creating mini-mountain ranges across the pastures. And in Rappahannock, the Blue Ridge foothills border the pastures and orchards. The scenery is dominated by world’s oldest mountains, their edges have been smoothed by time. Not as imposing as the Rockies, they don’t tower over their domain. They don’t intimidate. Rather, they give those who live in their shadow the illusion of gentle protectiveness. The hillsides and mountains that overlook the farms add their own splashes of color to the landscape. In spring, the yellow of forsythia turns to the coral of red bud, the pink and white of dogwood. Then comes the purple of wisteria and lilac, the white of mountain laurel. The green of summer follows, then the explosion of autumn — red, yellow, orange, amber, rust and brown. And every year, the cycle repeats, creating an order, a visual feast that delights the eye and lifts the spirit. ■■■Hi — Skyline Cavern* Photo Only Skyline Caverns has anthodites — Democrat Staff Photo/Mike Hickey The region’s visual order and unspoiled farmland comprise the top natural wonder No. 2 Old Rag Mountain in Shenandoah National Park. “Mountains are earth’s undecaying monuments.”— Nathaniel Hawthorne. The Northern Piedmont can claim few landmarks that merit superlatives. Old Rag Mountain is an exception. Looking down on the gentle Blue Ridge foothills from 3,291 feet, it is one of the oldest exposed granite faces in the world. The granite that forms the core of the mountain is a quarter as old as the earth itself. It crystalized from molten magma 1,100,000,000 years ago. To put It Tn more understandable terms, if the age of Old Rag’s granite is 12 hours, then less than a tenth of a second has elapsed since the birth of Christ. When the landscape split to free the lava flows that created the mountain, green algae was the only life that existed here outside of the oceans. These volcanic lava spews probably lasted until 600 million years ago. Then the land sank, bringing the sea and turning the Blue Ridge into first a sandy shore and then an ocean floor. As the land sank, it built up sediment layers of limestone and dolomite two or three miles thick. Roughly 450 million years ago, the land rose again and the limestone emerged. For the next 225 million years, the rocks metamorphosed, their physical nature changed by pressure of rocks from above. They buckled and broke and fault lines developed as the uplift of the land continued. Erosion washed away the miles of sediment that lay on top of the granite and greenstone. The softer limestone to the west of Old Rag eroded rapidly, forming what is now the Shenandoah Valley. But the granite and greenstones of Old Rag were more resistant than the sedimentary rocks and when they were exposed, the erosion slowed. The peak that is left today is more than a geological wonder. Although not in a class with Everest, it presents mountain climbers and hikers with a rewarding day long trek to its summit. Old Rag stands alone so hikes begin at the bottom rather than on Skyline Drive. The two most popular circuits from Weakley Hollow and Berry Hollow fire roads in Madison take climbers over or around granite boulders, and past “buzzard baths,” water filled hollows in the surface of the granite rocks. The trials provide another wonder, Blue Ridge and the Piedmont. No. 3 Skyline Caverns at Front Royal. “Where Alph, the sacred river, ran, through caverns measureless to man, down to a sunless sea. ” —Coleridge For 30 million years, the caverns waited in secret silence. For 30 million years, the presence of the underground world with its three rivers and 37-foot waterfall was undiscovered, unsuspected by man. Then in 1937, geologist Walter S. Amos concluded a careful examination of the surface topgraphy and reported that a cavern lay beneath the earth. — mpptfunnoc* Newt Pboio Shenandoah River’s powerful beauty His announcement was greeted by skepticism, but careful probing of the Blue Ridge Mountain foothills proved him right. Today, Front Royal’s Skyline Caverns remain the only caverns in the world to be discovered by scientific deduction. They rank as one of a kind in several other categories as well. Ceilings of the network of caves bloom with anthodites, the orchid of the mineral kingdom. These delicate formations of pure white calcite are found nowhere else. In apparent defiance of the laws of gravity, they grow in all directions, even upward from their ceiling perches. From the unearthly beauty of the flowerlike anthrodites scattered among the more common stalactites and stalagmites, Skyline’s wonders extend into the insect ,'faorld. The caverns are home to a cave behtle found no- ' 1 Where else, the rare Pseudanophthalmus Petrunkevitchi Valentine, bom without eyes. And the wonders go on. There’s a stream that flows in opposite directions simultaneously. There are rooms with names that tell of their magic: Painted Desert, Rainbow Trail, Capitol Dome, Fairyland Lake and The Shrine. During weekends and summers, thousands of tourists descend into the underground where the temperature is a constant 54 degrees. But during the rest of the year, it’s possible to marvel in near solitude at what the late Dr. R. J. Holden, professor of geology, described as these weird, fantastic and pallid forms: “One stares in amazement and hesitates to believe that nature has wrought such inconceivable 'Structures.” No. 4 Limberlost in Shenandoah National Park. “This is the forest primeval. The murmuring pines and the hemlocks."— Henry Wordsworth Longfellow When Columbus arrived, the forest at Limberlost was standing. The giant hemlocks a mile or so up the Old Rag fire trail are more than 400 years old. The grove begins with a fringe of young trees. As they increase in number and size, the undergrowth becomes progressively thinner. The shade deepens, the needles from the hemlocks drop to form a thick, acid mulch that prevents the seeds of most other plants from germinating. Even the mountain laurel, a lover of acid and shade, disappears. But in the summer, the Limberlost is one of the best places in the park to find mushrooms, Indian pipes, mosses, pine drops and other plants that thrive in deep shade. The ancient hemlocks stretch to more than three feet in diameter, silent guardians of forest glades where Indians once hunted. The name, Limberlost, was bestowed on the hemlock groves by George Freeman Pollock, founder of the park’s Skyland. He took it from the novel, Girl of the Limberlost, by Gene Stratton Porter. Legend has it that this rare relic of the forest primeal wouldn’t exist today if it had not been for Pollock’s interference. It’s said that when the trees were scheduled to be cut down, Pollock paid lumberman $10 a tree, a — Shenandoah National Put Photo Old Rag challenges hikers, climbers princely sum in those Depression years, to leave them standing. No. 5 Shenandoah River in Clarke and Warren counties. “Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you. Away, you rolling river. ” — Song The Shenandoah River, celebrated around campfires in thousands of sing-alongs, begins its 170-mile trip in Augusta County and winds its way through Rockingham, Page, Warren and Clarke before its rendezvous with the Potomac at Harper’s Ferry . Born a small river with sudden turns and overhanging trees that drop their branches across the waterway, the Shenandoah widens into beauty in Page County. Clear and clean, it flows over a bed of rock interspersed by clumps of graceful, long growing grass that undulates in the currents. The river winds in and out between the Blue Ridge and the Massanutten flanked by low banks that lead to farm fields, the mountains in the distance framing the scene. The Shenandoah slows as it passes through Clarke County, gathering energy for its meeting with the Potomac. It tumbles over Bull Falls and White Horse Rapids before meeting its sister in a wild and deep gorge, mountains rising high above. At Harpers Ferry and the confluence of the two rivers, history intrudes upon natural wonder. There John Brown was captured. There, Mosby and his Rangers launched a desperate unsuccessful raid against the garrison at Loudoun Heights. There, before the drama of the Civil War, settlers began their trip to the West. There, George Washington worked on the old dams that first made the river navigable. Still as beautiful and unspoiled in spots today as it was when the Indians sent their canoes skimming over its waters^ the Shenandoah deserves the name they bestowed upon her; “Daughter of the Stars.” No. 6 Whiteoak Canyon in Shenandoah National Park “From the imterfall he named her, Minnehaha, ' — ” ttwwtyWardwwrth l.tmgfnUmw The poet Longfellow would well have found his inspiration for the Indian maiden’s name in the cascade of foam that explodes down Whiteoak Canyon. The series of waterfalls provide a natural chute for adventuresome hikers to slide down. Deeper pools give the timid an opportunity to cool off in the icy waters without risking the thrill ride. Whiteoak Run begins as a trickle and turns into an awesome torrent in a wet spring as it winds its ways down. When the ground thaws in March, the canyon is saturated. Water flows from every pore in the soil and gushes from every crack in the cliff, running from everywhere to eventually end up in the stream. The top falls in the canyon are the most dramatic, spilling down 86 feet. After the first falls, the canyon narrows at the steep, rough trail continues about l'/2 miles, passing falls of 62 feet, 35 feet, 41 feet, 49 feet and 60 feet. It is a surrealistic landscape of cascades, pools, cliffs, ledges and boulders with tall hemlocks gripping the sides of rocks, roots like downtumed fingers. No. 7 Big Devils Stairs near Washington in Rappahannock County. “Step by step, since time began. . .” — John Greenleaf Whittier Like steps built for a giant, Big Devils Stairs ascend from Harris Hollow to Gravel Springs near Thoroughfare Gap, the saddle that connects The Peak at 3,000 feet with Mount Marshall and the Blue Ridge. Hikers who begin at the hollow wind their way up a canyon that narrows into a crevice. The trail gets steeper See Wonders, Page 12 — Shenandoah Nabontl Put Photo Whiteoak Canyon falls drop 86 feet

GREYSTONE TV & APPLIANCE 15 miles south ofSperryville on Rt. 231 Banco, VA 923-4266 nals at Fluvanna. Twenty boys and girls from Rappahannock qualified for the regional^ on the basis of their placing in the Bull Rim District meet. Six will go on to the next round, Saturday’s state “A” finals at George Wythe High School in the southwest corner of Virginia. Distance ace Scott Keithley will be the lone representative from the boys’ squad. He ran the two mile in 10.03.6 for second place and the mile in 4:33.6 for fourth. “David Fischbein, David Dodson, Gary Jenkins, Craig Kenyon, Jimmy Freeman, Clarence Pendleton, Chris Caperton, Wayne Woodward and James Dennis all battled hard to win i berth at the state meet bul none managed to finish ir the top six,” Spieker reported. Marie Davis, undefeated in the discus this season until Friday, will lead the girls contingent to Wythville or Saturday. She placed third in regionals with a throw ol 91’ 4”, just a few feet short of first. Daw will also compete in the shot put on the basil of her sixth place toss oi 30’5V$>”. Shell be joined at the line by teammates Donna Williams and Connie Compton. Williams heaved the shot 32’6%” for third and Compton threw 32’5V4” for fourth. Raynetta Ghenn showed great speed and determination at Fluvanna, according to coach Spieker. The senior track and field stand out covered 15’10Vi” for sixth place in the long jump. Sperryville WelcomesKindergarteners Kindergarteners from the Rappahannock Elementary School mixed learning and fun Monday on a field trip to Sperryville. Youngsters in Monica Toman’s, Deborah Burrows’ and Kim Chesson’s classes toured the Comer Store, post office, fire department and rescue squad before driving up to Dickey’s Ridge in Shenandoah National Park for a picnic. The community rolled out the welcome mat for the boys and girls, treating them like visiting royalty. ' “Ann Oliver, (Jfieen, Rosalind Code, Katheryn Davis and Karen Ludwick all put forth gallant efforts in the running events but Ann was our only track representative to finish high enough to go on to state,” the coach reported. Oliver placed fifth in the 800 meter run, clocked at 2.38.6. The highlight Friday may not have been the award of medals and trophies to the top placing athletes, according to rumors circulating around RCHS. Reportedly, the coaches lured six gullible tracksters on a snipe hunt after the group returned to RCHS. Despite their almost professional calling techniques, the kids were unable to entice any of the rare birds into their bags and so came back empty handed. The word going around school this week is that only the coaches had any luck in catching anything and they “caught” red faces on embarrassed kids who realized the joke was on them. At the post office, Aileen Johnson handed out tootsie roll pops and peanuts after explaining how mail is sorted, classified, weighed and delivered to boxes and rural routes. The kids all had their hands stamped and dated May 14, just like they were pieces of mail. At the Corner Store, owner Randolph Clater talked about stocking and ordering procedures. Sperryville youngsters who have long wondered what lay behind the rear door that’s always closed had their questions answered on Monday. “The highlight was seeing that stockroom,” Monica Towman reported. “They just had to see what was behind that door!” v After the tour, Clater passed out free ice cream for the children and their chaperones and then treated the bus drivers to lunch. From the Corner Store, it was on to the rescue squad building where Rick JohfJtr.'' son displayed emergency equipment and explained now eacn piece worked. The final stop before the picnic in the park was the fire department. Steve Leake had to fight off a mob of excited small fry, all swearing they wanted to grow up to be fire fighters, when he asked for volunteers to try on a mask and helmet, the kids swarmed over the back of the fire truck, listening eagerly to Leake’s explanation of fire fighting procedures. But the biggest smiles and loudest shrieks of delight came when James Burke, also a volunteer fireman with the £perryville company, turned on the fire hose and the siren. While a few hungry youngsters asked field trip organizer Deborah Burrows when they were going to have lunch, most of the kids had to be almost pulled away from the fire engines. “Everyone was so nice,” concluded Toman. “I think next year we won’t take any out-of-the-area field trips. We’ll just stay right here!” T SpoaMlsOs 1% A-FJt Flncnclng fpr 12 wontho. (monMy or quirtMfy p^mnli ivqdnd) 4% A.P.R. Plnonoing lor II months.

tlf^^Estate oppomT»m* Eileen 3f* Day realtor HOW MUCH WILL BANK LEND? If your family income is $90,000 per year, how much of a mortgage do you think a bank would lend you? If you go by the rule-of-thumb guidelines (25% - 28% of gross income), you would normally expect to pay up to a limit of $625 per month on your mortgage. But this is a very rough rule of thumb. You may qualify for more or less depending on the individual variables such as: A buyer who can make a larger than normal down payment may qualify for a lower rate or broader application of the rule of thumb. A buyer willing to accept a Graduated Payment Mortgage may find the guidelines more liberal. A buyer accepting a Rapid Repay ment Mortgage or a Growing Equity Mortgage involving shorter loan terms may find lenders more willing to compromise on present income. Also, there is more than your income to consider. What is your past credit history? What amount of debt do you now owe? What is the appraised value of the property? The mortgage decision will be based on the COMBINATION. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M.

And a prediction of success is “somewhat iffy,” Estabrook said, adding that several bills are hard to pinpoint. At the very least, the School Board will have to ask the supervisors for authority to transfer funds from categories whre an overage is anticipated to categories “where we know we’ll fall short.” In past years, it has been the School Board’s practice to fill fuel oil tanks and coal bins at both schools before the close of the fiscal year. That practice may have to be abandoned in order to keep within the $2,564,862 appropriation approved by the supervisors for the current year, the superintendent cautioned. “I know we have to live within our budget but I’m concerned about being able to purchase educational equipment and supplies we’d planned to get this year,” said board member Nancy Reeve. She asked if school administrators and teachers are being told they can’t buy equipment and supplies already approved in order to r ►Wonders From Page 5 and steeper as it criss-crosses a roaring stream that sej rates the stair-like ledges carved into the cliffs 20 to 30 yards apart. Years ago, eagles nested in the rocks; today, only buzzards roost in the heights. Cascades, boulders and waterfalls between the high, sheer walls of rock add to the wild feeling of the deeply shaded canyon.

In the other, the road stretches to Browntown in neighboring Warren County, the site of the lumber mills where settlers used to haul their logs to be cut into boards. On the route, it passes relics left by an earlier people who called these mountains home — the copper mines of the Indians. In the days of the mountaineers, the spring was reported the scene of considerable social activity. It’s clear waters were used to brew batches of Rappahannock’s finest moonshine and travelers crossing the mountain to Brown town would buy their whiskey there. Next week: Seven manmade wooden.

At the same time that the School Board is struggling to run the county schools on the drastically reduced budget approved by the supervisors last year, the county has received substantially more in state revenue than was projected for 1983-84. That unexpected increase in state aid translates into reduced demands for local hinds to support this year’s educational programs. In developing the budget for the current year, per pupil basic aid was estimated at $1,025; the amount actually received per pupil was $1,031, according to Estabrook. In addition, more money has come in than projected for both special and vocational education and in sales tax reimbursement, the superintendent reported. The overage never shows up in the school fund; it goes directly to the county coffers. The amount transferred every month to the school fund is based entirely on the bottom line budget figure approved last year by the supervisors. It does not change to reflect a greaterthan-expected contributibn from the state or a lesserthan-expected demand for county tax dollars for education, he explained. The county has received school fluids from the state that exceed budget projections “by a good amount,” Estabrook said. “But the money is going into the general county coffers...The county is getting in much more than anticipated but the School Board is still bound by the bottom line figure (approved by the supervisors).” After brief discussion, the School Board instructed Estabrook to bring to the next meeting revised figures on categorical balances and recommended requests for approval from the supervisors for funding transfers between categories. Asked later for the dollar amount received from the state for education in excess of what was projected in the 1968-84 budget, neither Eetabrook nor Treasurer Frances Foster could give a figure.

FOOT FACTS Dr. Bruce Vogel mat "nantars wan May »e a uauous Many patients are treated over and over again by their doctor for a plantar wart with disappointing results. The problem may be that it is not a wart at all but a severe cystic type of callous. The wart is purely a skin problem and can usually be treated by treating the skin alone. If the wart lies directly under a bony prominence (especially in the ball of the foot) it may not be a wart at all. There are two types of callouses. Both are caused by excessive shearing forces applied to a bony prominence. The first type is diffuse and spread out over a small area. The other is more intense in appearance and discomfort and is about the size of a dime or smaller. The types of treatment range from placing something in the shoe to adjust the function of the foot to others such as minor procedures to correct the underlying pressure problem. Or. Bruot I.
