35TH YEAR, NO. 4 * L'SPS 4 >.>.>80 12 PAGES Thursday, January 24, 1985 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA Phone 67 >-3340 25' • Job Training Available Job training opportunities are available for young people ages 16-21 from low income families. You may qualify for one of several programs designed to help you get and keep a job. If you want to know more about job training, contact on of the following programs: • In Culpeper: JobShop at 703-825-3448; 70,0001 at 703-825-3988. • In Warrenton: F.O.R.E. at 703-439-3505; 70,0001 at 703-349-1411. • Keesey To Attend Reception Truman J. Keesey of Washington, Va., a member of the Governor’s Advisory Committee on Aging, will spend Tuesday, January 29 at the Virginia Association of Area Agencies on Aging reception in Richmond. Sally Morgan, director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Area Agency on Aging and president of the Virginia Association of Area Agencies on Aging, will make a presentation to Governor Charles S. Robb at the reception. This is the first year that members of the Advisory Committee have been invited to attend the event. • Student Aid Available A. financial aid workshop was held recently at Rappahannock County High School for seniors and their parents. Often, students may be eligible for monies, and not be aware of the proper channels to be used. Therefore, much of the available funds go unclaimed. If a student or parent wishes to receive aid, it is important to become involved in the process of searching for sources and making appropriate applications. Any person who has questions regarding available funds for college is encouraged to contact either James T. Futrell or Mary Anne Biggs at the high school. • Slaughter Backs Amendment Seventh District Congressman French Slaughter recently joined in cn-sponsoring a proposed Constitutional Amendment to require the Federal government to balance its budget every year. It is the first measure to be formally supported in the 99th Congress by Slaughter, who was sworn in as a new member of the U.S. House of Representatives on January 3. Under terms of the Slaughter-backed proposal, the president would be required to submit, and the Congress would be required to adopt, a balanced budget before the beginning of each fiscal year. • Academic Scholarships Offered Radford University’s Scholars Program is offering academic scholarships ranging from $600 to $4,000 to freshmen and transfer students entering in the fall of 1985. To qualify for the program high school students must rank in the top 10 percent of their high school graduating class or have SAT scores totaling 1200. Students transfering from a community college or other fouryear institution will be chosen on the basis of their previous college records. Application deadline is Feb. 1, and winners will be announced in March. For further information concerning the Scholars Program or scholarship applications, contact Andrew Bales, director of admissions, Box 5^30, Radford University, VA., 24142 or call (703) 731-5371. • Rescue Squad Volunteers Needed There is a great need for rescue squad volunteers within the planning district, especially in the daytime. All of the twenty-two rescue squads in Planning District Nine«pperate on a volunteer basis, and all of those volunteers who provide hands on patient care are required by the state to be licensed Emergency Medical Technician’s/Ambulance. Most volunteers have daytime jobs, families, or other commitments and have a tendency to be more available for their services during the evening. Therefore, virtually every rescue squad in this area has a daytime manpower problem. The Emergency Medical Services office is making every attempt to rectify this potentially dangerous situation before local government is forced to hire paid rescue personnel to provide staff during the daytime hours. • Viguerie Seeks Nomination Richard Viguerie, Warrenton businessman, has announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor of Virginia. Citing as his goal to become “the people’s lobbyist in Richmond,” Viguerie believes that as a fresh face in Richmond, he can provide leadership free from “the buddy system that so often thwarts the popular will.” Long a conservative Republican activist as a private citizen, Viguerie proposed a series of initiatives which he believes would help restore public participation in government and begin to control “runaway” state spending. Chief among his programs were a call for a referendum option on all new state taxes, a refund to the taxpayers of Virginia’s revenue surplus, local option for the election of school boards, and a program by which criminals make restitution to their victims. Viguerie is the chairman of the Campaign for Virginia, an organization that works for the election of a Republican majority in the General Assembly, and he is publisher of Conservative Digest magazine. • Hospice Seeks Volunteers Plans for a spring training program for the Hospice of the Rapidan have been completed, and will take place during March. Two programs will be given; one at Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church, Rt. 522 North in Boston, Va., and the other in Orange at a site to be announced. Volunteers are being sought from the Culpeper, Rappahannock, Madison and Orange County areas, and are urged to contact the Hospice office in Culpeper at 825-4840, or Reverend Steve Scoggins at Washington Baptist Church at 675-3336 or Lorraine Robson, director of the Hospice, at 547-3851. Specially trained volunteers from the surrounding counties are selected, and will provide care and support in the home or in the hospital for persons with a terminal illness. They will help the patient and the patient’s family reduce their feelings of isolation, keep accurate home care records, support the family in the time of grief and bereavement, and allow the patient the feeling of being able to die with dignity. Hospice does not replace medical care, does not provide home nursing services, does not connect itself with any specific religious system and does not intrude in the family privacy. All terminally ill people are eligible for services, and there is no charge for caring services. Hospice can help coordinate other necessary services such as home health care, private duty nurses, or medical equipment rental. Families of terminally ill patients can request assistance from Hospice by contacting their clergy, social worker or physician, by calling the Hospice office at 825-4840 or by writing to the Hospice of the Rapidan, 126 South Main St., P.O. Box <'38, Culpeper, Va. 22701. Rappahannock News Pboto/Baifcara Burke Mike Taubenberger took advantage of the snow and put in a little ski time in Harris Hollow. Winter Teamwork Reaps Family Unity George Alther—92 years-old, living alone, bed-ridden since Christmas—is not as bad off as he sounds. Not at all. He is well cared for by family members, namely a daughter Nellie (49), a son John W. (60), and a daughter-in-law Hilda (56). Nellie referred to the three of them as a team and said they could not get along without each other, meaning they would not be able to take care of George without each of them pitching in to help Four years ago, when George’s conditioned worsened, the Alther family knew that George would need constant supervision. To meet this need, Hilda and John moved into a house only a few steps in back of George’s, on Route 600 in Old Hollow. From this point on, Hilda’s and John’s daily routine changed. Arising from bed in the morning, Hilda first goes to check on George and then fixes his breakfast. After Hilda leaves for work (she is a housekeeper in Rappahannock), John takes over the supervision of George, stoking the fire when needed and making sure that his father is comfortable. Nellie, who lives in Falls Church and works in Washington, D.C., returns to Old Hollow almost every weekend to visit her father. “I can’t come all the way from Falls Church everyday to visit Dad,” said Nellie. “Dad’s lucky he has Hilda and John to take care of him.” It seems, though, that Nellie does quite a bit for her father: Nellie said that oil heat had become too expensive in George’s house, so she switched to gas. But that was a problem too—a bill would come in that didn’t seem right to her, and she said she could never get an explanation for it. So now Nellie is back to oil heat, but uses it rarely. Instead, the family relies on wood that they buy from a local seller. George receives social security payments ($195 a month) and food stamps ($44 a month), but Nellie says it isn’t nearly enough to get by on, so “we all chip in to make up the difference.” Doctors won’t admit George to a hospital, saying that nothing can be done for him, and, says Nellie, “Medicare won’t pay” unless a doctor says there is good reason to admit a patient. This worries Nellie. She wishes George could have some x-rays taken. “I would never put him (George) in a nursing home,” said Nellie, adding that she can better care for him at home. Sitting in George’s small house— with George lying down to my left and Nellie, Hilda and John gathered about, talking of their father—I sensed that these 3 family members were bound together by an important task. They work hard in caring for George, but they have no complaints. “I try to make sure he’s comfortable,” said Nellie.

Contestants then submit resumes of activities and achievements, letters of recommendation, honors received and an essay on a subject in American History. All are judged at the district, regional, state and national levels. Sperryville Sewage System... Further Delay Possible By JON KLAVERKAMPi Rappahannock News Staff Writer A letter from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, sent to Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, threatens to further delay construction of the Sperryville sewage system. ° The Planning Commission in its January 16 meeting pondered various responses to the letter before deciding to forward it to Doug Baumgardner, Attorney for the Water and Sewer Authority. The letter, which makes clear that Rappahannock does not yet qualify for flood plane insurance, requests that the County amend its zoning ordinance. In regard to the flood plane district in Sperryville where construction on the sewage system would begin, the Federal Agency writes “The boundaries of the 100 year flood plane as delineated on the current flood insurance rate map are not referenced in the Rappahannock Zoning Ordinance...” After reading this aloud, Chairman A. Y. Stokes replied that the Planning Commission had written “them” (the Federal Emergency Management Agency) to state that “our new proposed ordinance would include the criteria that would cover the restrictions for development in the flood plane...” But Stokes said the Agency now wants the County to amend its zoning ordinance to cover certain points: 1) reference and include an overlay district of the boundaries of the identified 100 year flood plane district as indicated on the flood plane insurance map. 2) reference the National Flood insurance Program, elevation and flood-proofing and the requirements of the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code. 3) require a permit for all flood plane development and record all base flood elevation data. 4) Include the following definitions: development, flood, 100 year flood, and substantial improvement. The Agency’s letter requests that the amendments be sent to them before adoption into our zoning ordinance so that they can forward an “official letter of compliance and acceptance.” Time is Critical Planning Commissioner Newbill Miller expressed concern over the prospect of a further delay to the construction of the sewage system in Sperryville. He said the project is already operating on an extension. Then he recommended that the Commissioners refer the matter to Doug Baumgardner who, as attorney for the Water and Sewer Authority, could deal more effectively with the Federal Agency. Zoning Administrator David Konick voiced similar concern about the time it would take to resolve the matter by corresponding through the mail. Konick referred to the Federal Agency’s letter, dated December 10, which was in response to the County’s letter of September 10, which in turn was in response to the Agency’s letter of July 6. “It took them three months simply to review it (our letter) and to say it didn’t meet the standards,” said Ko Cindy Dodson Halbert D. Brooks III nick, lhat means, even it we send it today, it’s going to be April before we get it back." Without further discussion the Commissioners agreed to forward the matter to Doug Baumgardner, the Water and Sewer Authority’s attorney. Reached by phone, Baumgardner said he would submit to the Board of Supervisors drafts of amendments to the present zoning ordinance that he hoped would resolve the matter. Baumgardner also said he had sent copies of the letter from the Federal Agency to all members of the Water and Sewer Authority. Mobile Home Legislation The Planning Commissioners on January 16 also discussed proposed legislation that would grant the same status to mobile homes as to site built homes. The bill, now before a special subcommittee of the General Assembly, states that “mobile homes constitute an increasing and substantial percentage of the new dwelling units in this State,” and that “they provide a valuable housing resource in meeting the State’s need for decent, safe and affordable housing, and that their availability as such housing should not unreasonably be limited by local zoning regulations.” Zoning Administrator David Konick advised the Commissioners that this bill, if passed, would make the present zoning ordinance invalid. Konick said that the bill, once it is in final form, would have to pass from the special committee to a regular committe of the General Assembly by February 4. Then it would be forwarded to the General Assembly. Konick told the Commissioners that if they or the Board of Supervisors wanted to pass a resolution opposing or favoring the bill, it would have to be done soon. Can’t Be Restrictive The proposed bill state? “A zoning ordinance may require that a mobile home be located and installed accord ing to the same standards...which would apply to a site-built home... but under no circumstances shall conditions imposed on mobile homes be more restrictive than those imposed on sitebuilt dwellings. ” The bill does allow for “reasonable ■ conditions" to be placed on the “aesthetic appearance of the mobile home...” Dick McNear, a professional planner, who attended the meeting, cited three possible aesthetic requirements: l)roof pitch 2)length-width ratio and 3)exterior materials. State vs Local Rights Commissioner Miller insisted that a decision on this matter ought to b made by the elected officials at t. e 1 cal level. “They (the State lawmakers) don’t like the Federal government telling them what to do,” said Miller. The commissioners decided 1) to draft a letter to the General Assembly expressing their disapproval of the proposed legislation, and 2) to send a resolution (Continued on Page 3) Fires Leave Two Families Homeless Two fires, one in Sperryville and one in Amissville, have left two families homeless and in need of assistance. The Sperryville family has four children, and there are two children in the Amissville family. Both families need homes, clothes, furnishings, linens and furniture. The Amissville family also needs pots and pans, silverware and other kitchen necessities. Clothes tor the Sperryville family are needed for a boy, age 15, who wears a size 16, a medium shirt and nine and a half shoes; a girl, age 14, who wears a size 14, a medium shirt and size seven shoes; a girl, age 12, who wears a size 12, a small shirt and size six shoes; a boy, age 11, who wears a size 12, a medium shirt and size six shoes; a man who wears 34/36 jeans, a large shirt and nine and a half shoes; and a woman who wears large stretch pants, a large shirt and a size eight shoe. The Amissville family has a 13 year-old girl who wears 13/14 pants and a medium shirt; a woman who wears 13/14 pants; and a man who wears 34/33 pants and a medium shirt.

Fincham Changes Plea Again In Circuit Court By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Jeffrey Lee Fincham last appeared in Circuit Court on November 12, a week after he had escaped from the Rappahannock County Jail. During that court appearance, Fincham decided to change his plea of guilty to not guilty of the charge of breaking and entering. In the intervening months, Fincham decided to plead guilty again, but changed his mind during Circuit Court on Thursday, January 17. Fincham’s lawyer, Doug Baumgardner, advised the court of Fincham’s decision to change his plea to not guilty, and then Baumgardner withdrew from the case. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke said that Fincham “has flip-flopped in this case, changing his plea three times, but if he wants a jury trial then that’s fine.” When asked if he had anything to say, Fincham replied that “I think that this case should be dismissed because it wasn’t my name on the arrest war George Baggarly ta PROCTOR BIGGS FEED MILL 500 E.

Fincham has been sentenced bo serve 36 years in the state penitentiary for crimes committed in Warren and Frederick Counties. Judge Robertson appointed David Konick to represent Fincham in the trial on April 18. In other cases, Lewis Wesley Hickman pled guilty to breaking and entering and grand larceny, and was sentenced to six years in a Virginia Department of Corrections facility for each charge to be served concurrently. The sentence was suspended by Judge Robertson due to the recommendation of the Sheriffs Office. Hickman has been on work release, and has been working around the jail and courthouse for the past few months. Hickman was recommended for Community Diversion probation by parole officer Dean Hahn. Community Diversion probation is an intensified probation program for people who receive jail sentences, and the program offers assistance in a variety of areas such as finding jobs for participants or enrolling participants in substance abuse facilities. The participants are monitored closely in the program. Judge Robertson placed Hickman on Community Diversion probation for three years with the stipulation that Hickman pay restitution and court costs. “I think that you’ve got your life turned around, and I’m counting on you,” Judge Robertson said. Judge Robertson also set court dates for George Lee, Joseph Wenk and Tony O’Neal Banks. Lee, who is facing two charges of breaking and entering and two charges of grand larceny, was released on a $2,000 personal recognizance bond until his court date of February 7. Banks has been charged with three counts of breaking and entering and three counts of grand larceny. February 7 was set as the date when Banks will have to appear with his attorney in court. Wenk will face two charges of breaking and entering and two charges of grand larceny on February 7.

CULPEPER MOTOR CORP. - PONTIAC -GMC - IHC 401 James Madison Hwy. - “In Town” Culpeper 825-8381 News From Richmond By ANGIE MUSOLINO Arundel Newapapera Richmond Bureau RICHMOND — A bill that would create a new charter for the Town of Washington was introduced recently by Del. Raymond R. “Andy” Guest Jr. (R-31st). The new charter would replace one that has been in effect since 1894. The proposed charter was presented in December to the Washington Town Council by its attorney. The council unanimously approved it Jan. 2. The new charter would prohibit the town from taxing real estate. If passed, it will also change the term of office of the town’s five council members, its mayor and its treasurer from two to four years, beginning with the town’s next scheduled elections in May 1986. The bill has been referred to the House’s Committee on Counties, Cities and Towns. The ‘bottle bill’ is back The “bottle bill,” which would require returnable bottles for carbonated beverages, is back in the legislature again. Sen. Madison Marye (D-37th) introduced the bill, which has been referred to the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Conservation and Natural Resources. Mr. Marye fought for the bill’s passage last year, when it died in committee. The bill made it out of a Senate committee during the 1983 session, but it was killed on the Senate floor. Mr. Mayre’s bill says discarded beverage bottles and cans “create a hazard to vehicular traffic, a source of physi- . cal injury to pedestrians, farm animals and machinery and an unsightly accumulation of litter which must be disposed of at increasing public expense.” Crime victims get attention Three Northern Virginia legislators are sponsoring a bill that would require the inclusion of a “Victim Impact Statement” in the presentence report of a defendant who has been convicted of a felony. Sen. Clive L. DuVal (D-2nd) is patron of the bill, while Dels. Robert T. Andrews (R-33rd) and Vincent F. Callahan Jr. (R-34th) are co-sponsors. The bill would amend a similar one passed by the legislature in its 1983 session. That bill said that the Victim Impact Statements could be included in presentence reports at the discretion of the court, while the bill DuVal would make the inclusion mandatory. In the statements, victims are given the opportunity to tell the court — prior to sentencing — of any financial loss or physical or psychological damage he or she may have suffered as a result of the crime. DuVal’s bill, if passed, will also require that the statements tell how the defendant can provide restitution to the victim — or, in the case of a death, the victim’s survivors. Irene Wodell, director of the Loudoun County VictimWitness Program, said Victim Impact Statements are used frequently in Loudoun, and that she supports making them a mandatory part of the sentencing procedure. “It’d be fantastic if it passes,” she said. “I think the Victim Impact Statement is the best thing that’s ever happened to victims.” State lottery proposed — again Del. Kenneth R. Plum (D-36th) is co-sponsoring a bill introduced recently that would establish a state lottery in Virginia. The bill’s patron is Del. W.R. O’Brien (R-82nd), who has introduced the same legislation in previous sessions of the General Assembly. The bill has been referred to the House Committee on General Laws. Rappahannock, W akefield Meet By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer The county basketball rivalry between Rappahannock County High School and Wakefield School continued on Wednesday, January 16 with double wins for RCHS. Rappahannock’s junior varsity team opened the night with a 52-30 win over Wakefield, and the varsity game ended with a 96-58 win for Rappahannock. “We played our best game of the year offensively, but we could have played better defensively,” said varsity Coach Don Dawson of the Wakefield game. The team broke the RCHS high scoring record for a game, and Tommy Jenkins set a new individual high scoring record with 37 points for the game. The high scorer for Wakefield was Russell Rowzie with 23 points. Dawson said that the game was a good confidence builder for the team that has a 1-3 district record and a 2-5 overall record for the season so far. “Both strings got to play one half of the ggfre, and the kids enjoyed it,” said Dawson. “Both teams played hard, and Wakefield never gave up.” Rappahannock will play the district’s fourth place team, Stonewall Jackson, Friday night at home, and Dawson is hoping for a win. “I think that we’re in pretty good shape right Johnny Cash show coming in March The Johnny Cash Show will be presented March 23 in two performances at the Wayside Theatre, Middletown, as a fund-raiser for the 1985 season of the Wayside Foundation for the Arts.

Hunt Club The Commissioners also discussed an appeal of David Konick’s decision that held that the leasing of property for hunting did not constitute a commercial use of the land. In November Konick received a complaint from landowners who questioned whether the nearby Hunt club was in violation of the zoning ordinance on the grounds that it was a commercial use of the land. Konick, citing points made to him by Dick McNear, said theClub is not— attracting the public anci is not open to the public, therefore the use of the land is not commercial. ' Both Miller and Konick held that hunting was not a use of land regulated by the zoning ordinance. Konick supported this by pointing out that hunting did not change the use of the land. He compared the renting of a singlefamily dwelling to the leasing of land for hunting, saying that, for zoning purposes, the point is not whether one owns or rents but what is done with the property. “The fact that (a landowner) leases those hunting rights out to a group doesn’t change the actual use of the property,” said Konick. Therefore he claimed that the land use was “essentially noncommercial.” Konick, considering other ways to regulate hunting, referred the Commissioners to a passage in the Virginia Code, which states that the Board of Supervisors of a county has the authority to ban the shooting of weapons or hunting in any area deemed too dangerous to allow it. The commissioners passed a motion stating that the Hunt club issue was not a zoning matter. In other business during the January 16 meeting, the Commissioners: • Forwarded to the Board of Zoning Appeals an application filed by Thomas Baldwin to open a used car lot for not more than 5 cars in conjuntion with his Shell station in Sperryville. • Forwarded to the Board of Zoning Appeals an application filed by Richard Thornhill to build a bed and breakfast inn on Route 522 in Woodville. The inn would have 3 bedrooms, accommodating not more than 6 guests. • Set times for the Planning Commission to work on the proposed zoning ordinance. Work sessions already completed were on January 22 and 23. There will be a session January 29 at 7:30 in the courthouse. Church officials are scheduled to attend this meeting.

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, JANUARY 24,1985 Winter Watch The temperature last Monday fell below zero; to be exact; that is according to County weather-watcher Dennis Wingfield, it fell to -? degrees. We do not usually count weather among the issues most serious to us; often we comment lightly on it, saying “nice day” to almost anyone, as if we could take that day or leave it. But at -7 degrees and throughout much of the Winter season, weather is a serious issue, even a frightening one. This is especially true for elderly people. The population of Rappahannock County, according to a 1980 census, is 6,093. Of this number, 807 people are over the age of 65. That’s about 13 percent of the population. What can we do to help this group of elderly citizens endure a hard winter, or on a smaller scale, a bitterly cold night? The best answer is: whatever we’ve been doing. Sylvia Kreitler, Director of the Rappahannock Department of Social Services, said during an interview that the people of Rappahannock have an excellent record when it comes to looking after neighbors and helping them out in times of need. Referring to the many people of Rappahannock who willingly help others, Kreitler said “they don’t need any encouragement, they need a pat on the back.” This is a pat on the Coun ty s back, and a reminder to keep up the good work. Though a menace to all of us, winter threatens the aged more seriously. Think of the difficulties that we, under 65, have in subzero weather. For instance, something so routine as fetching wood for the fire becomes a painful task. The cold wind bites. And we sigh after hustling back into the warm house. But that’s us, in relatively good health; getting wood is not a serious threat. For those over 65, however, a trip to the backyard or to the side of the house in subzero weather poses some risks. The ground is slick. One slip on a sheet of ice and the consequences can be serious indeed. After falling, an elderly person is threatened by the scary prospect of not being able to get up again. And what if that person lives alone? It is encouraging to know that this doesn’t happen much in Rappahannock. A clerk at the State Bureau of Records and Statistics reports that from 1979 to 1983 in Rappahannock County not one case of a death, where weather was the underlying cause, is on record. Those are the latest statistics. Not one senior citizen lost to a hard winter. Hurray for Rappahannock! Let’s continue to look after our neighbors, especially the elderly ones.

Oppose Uranium Mining To the editor: Large ads in widely-circulated newspapers state that uranium mining can be safely carried on in Virginia despite the absence of proof for this assertion. Uranium mining has never been done in the East where annual precipitation exceeds evaporation. But, unless Virginians wake up, this dubious activity will be carried on in Pittsylvania County and perhaps elsewhere in the state since deposits of this ore have been found in several counties. Marline Corporation and Union Carbide (of Bhopal, India notoriety) are pressing the General Assembly to lift the present moratorium on suchmining in order that they may develop the deposit found in Pittsylvania Cadet James M. Cannon, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Cannon of Castleton, Va. has been promoted to the rank of Master Sergeant in the Randolph-Macon Academy Cadet Corps. 11 YEARSAGO THE RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS At the January meeting of the Washington Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad the following officers were elected: President, Jennings Hobson; VicePresident, Edward Bailey; Secretary-Treasurer, Ruth Clark; Chief, Steve Bailey; Assistant Chief, Edward Clark; Captain, W.

FAULCONER, Conservation Chairperson Northern Shenandoah Valley Audubon Society I—Our Rappahannock HeritageLetters To The Editor Volunteers Praised To the editor: On the way horrie this afternoon we passed by a house on fire south of Speoryville. The number of emergency vehicles-fire trucks, ambulances, sheriffs cars-were impressive. Later, a neighbor (both she and her husband are members of the Castleton Fire Department and Rescue Squad) came by the house and we asked her about that fire. What she told us simply amazed us. Like so many other new residents of the county, we came from a suburban area with a professional fire department so that we hardly ever thought of what their work really was like. As we talked, interrupted from time to time by emergency calls and messages coming in over her radio, a picture emerged of a small group of volunteers braving bitterly cold weather trying to save lives and property. She matter-of-factly explained why they like to have three ambulances at a fire (one for injured home occupants or a fireman who may have fallen through the roof, one for firemen who have to be thawed and warmed up and one for any other emergency that may arise), how the firemen had to keep thawing away the valves that froze up (and sometimes burst), cut a hole in the ice in a pond where again the hoses would freeze up and how they had to use plyers to unbuckle firemen’s coats that were solidly frozen. Then the work of the rescue squad itself-things one thinks happen only to someone else—automobile and other accidents, cardiac arrests, and efforts to save the victims. She talked of this fire and two other fires and other calls that kept them up all night. The way she talked made us realize that to her and other volunteers that was just their way of life. There was no bragging, no complaining and no feeling sorry for herself. 10 To Forget— By Eugene J. McCarthy Rappahannock News Special Writer 1984 was not a bad year. It went out just as it came in. The Presidential campaign was a minor disturbance, 1 more a distraction. Several irritating persons and issues, at least irritating to me, did fade from the news. I am hopeful that they, and s: .lar persons and related or comparable issues will not appear in 1985. My list of those who I am glad to have gone, and those who I hope will not surface, or re-surface, are these ten: One: The case of Mary Cunningham and William Agee - a story of love and ambition in the world of corporate conglomerates and mergers. Mary’s book contributed significantly to the loss of interest in the couple’s troubles. Two: Elizabeth Taylor’s weight problem. The fact that she by report has lost weight and is apparently ready to settle into another marriage should leave us at rest for at least another year, and save us from what 1 saw as threatening, namely, the inclusion of her weight statistics in the evening news statistical summaries, as up five ounces or down six, along with the variations in the Dow Jones Average, the temperature, and the barometric pressure. Three: Any more of Barbara Walters’ special interviews, if consistent with her last of 1984, which must have come close to exhausting challenging Poet, author, former U. S. Senator from Minnesota and candidate for the presidency, Eugene McCarthy now lives in the F T Willey near Slate Mills combinations. She, an unmarried, unpregnant woman, interviewed three other women: one married and pregnant - treated as an unusual condition, one married and not pregijant, and one pregnant and not married. We may hope that the special interviews, which have become sort of sophisticated freak shows, may fade as have the “break shows” from circuses and carnivals. Four: Lee Iacocca, whose success story is now out in book form, a success story far different from that of Horatio Alger. His.is one dependent on massive government loans, the exclusion or limitation of competition, especially from It has been said that we live in an age hat has no heroes. Whoever said that must never have had a chance to meet the people like our volunteer firemen. These are people who go about their daily business like everyone else, but are ready to go on a call while most of us stay in our warm, cozy homes. The News would render the entire community a tremendous service if it were to run a series of articles on the work of these people — running into burning houses, being overcome by smoke, suffering frostbite, exhaustion, pulling out people from smashed up cars—people who on top of everything else give more of their time to organize ■ turkey shoots, games and find other ways to raise money for their equipment , fuel, etc. so that when we need them they can come and help us. You recently had a photograph of Jim and Louise Grigsby, also our neighbors and volunteers, receiving an award for their work with the Castleton Fire.Department, and missed an opportunity to tell your readers what kind of dedication stands behind an award like that. You still have a chance to do it. STEVK & M A KG IK RITE NIKOLAJEV1C Thanks Expressed To the editor: A special thanks are extended to Deputy John Facchina, Deputy Gary Settle, the Sperryville f ire Department and the Washington Fire Department for a quick response to "Help!” On Sunday afternoon these deputies and firemen quickly extinguished a fire from my car that was parked at my residence. Lois Atwood — From Both Barrels Wilder’s Choice By GEORGE BOWLES Time is growing short for Virginia’s Democratic Party to deal with a problem which many political observers believe could doom the party’s entire statewide ticket to defeat in this all-important election year. That problem is the undiminished determination of black state Sen. Douglas Wilder of Richmond to seek the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor. Wilder’s candidacy is causing the party’s leadership to go through a period of unparalled self-examination and agonized soul-searching. The issue is a complicated one. This is the year when Virginians will elect a governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, and all 100 members of the House of Delegates. Thus, it is the most important year in the state’s quadrennial electoral cycle, and therefore the year in which each party seeks to field the most electable ticket of candidates. The declared Democratic hopefuls for the gubernatorial nomination are Lt. Gov. Richard Davis of Portsmouth and Attorney General Gerald Babies of Richmond. Del. Mary Sue Terry of Stuart is the party’s most active potential candidate for attorney general, and Wilder is the only candidate for the lieutenant governor's nod. Democratic strategists are convinced that either of the two candidates for governor would make a strong leader for the ticket, and that Terry would be an outstanding nominee for attorney general. They are equally convinced, however, that Wilder would have no chance whatever of winning in a statewide race, and indeed, that his presence on the ticket could very well scuttle the chances of both of his running mates. The reasoning involved is far more of a commentary on the Virginia electorate than it is on Wilder. For the past 15 years he has served Richmond with great distinction in the Senate. He is perhaps the bes^ orator in the body, and has risen to the chairmanship of the powerful Privileges and Elections Committee, one of the most prestigeous posts in the upper house. Rut with respect to his statewide political ambitions, his liabilities are two-fold. He is a black and he is a professing liberal. “If Doug were white, with his liberal record his candidacy would be a laugh,” said one Democratic legislator. “Moderate and conservative candidates would be lining up to run against him.” But Wilder is not white, and nobody is lining up. The reason is that neither Wilder nor his followers take defeat, or even challenges, lightly. In the view of some who speak from experience, to support Wilder is to be the salt of the earth, but to oppose him — or even to question his electability — is to risk being accused of racism regardless of what the reason for the opposition or question might be. Furthermore, it is feared that if Wilder were opposed and defeated for the nomination, he would mount some sort of partyshattering independent candidacy for the office, or, at the very least, lead thousands of crit ically needed black Democratic voters on a fishing trip on election day. Of course, he may do none of these things. He may loyally support whomever the party nominee might be, and insists he would do so. But concern over his political clout is so pervasive in Democratic circles that any move to oppose him has been, up to this point, stricken with total paralysis. In truth, the Democrats’ options are limited to two. They can get behind the Wilder candidacy and make the best of what most of strategists believe would be an electoral disaster in this fall’s lieutenant governor’s race. With the state’s 84 percent white and increasingly conservative electorate, they see no way for the Wilder candidacy to succeed. Their main effort would thus be confined to damage control and, if possible, saving the governorship and attorney general’s post for the Democrats. But they harbor, with considerable justification, a haunting fear that Wilder would bring down the full fury of the state’s vast independent conservative bloc of voters on the entire Democratic ticket. Or they can seek a candidate to oppose Wilder who would attempt to preserve Wilder’s dignity and respect if he should lose the nomination. However, any hint of a racist appeal in such an effort would, without doubt, trigger massive black defections from the entire Democratic ticket with disasterous results on election day. Indeed, many in the party believe that the only potential opponent who might be able to perform this extremely delicate tour de force of political surgery would be Del. Richard Bagley of Hampton. Bagley recently dropped out of this year’s governor’s race, but has already declared his intention of running for the top office in 1989. “I don’t know why Doug is doing this,” said a Democratic observer ruefully. “He’s a pragmatic and bright politician, and in many ways a real statesman. And because he’s all these things he’s got to know that a liberal black can’t win a statewide race in Virginia. It’s tragic, but that’s how it is. “At some point,” he continued, “Doug and his supporters will have to make a basic decision. They will have to decide whether they would rather have a winning ticket — even if it’s all white — which would best represent the interests of the black community, or have a black name on the ticket which might contribute to its defeat. They must know that this could turn the whole state government over to the Republicans who would not best represent their interests. That’s the choice they really have to make thife year.” None of this can be pleasant advice for Wilder, and a number of his loyalists will no doubt elaipr^ they see racism in some o£>fhe views expressed. But there is a profound difference between racism and realism, and many Democrats who deeply respect Wilder believe if he really wishes to serve the best interests of both his party and the black community, he will recognize that difference. And having recognized it, they believe he should act accordingly. the Japanese, and protective restraint from General Motors, and to a lesser extent by Ford Motors, so as not to draw anti-trust action from the Justice Department. His popular image may be dulled by a recent report from Chrysler Corporation that Iacocca does not do free Bar Mitzvahs. Whether he does them for a fee was not indicated by the Chrysler report. Five: John DeLorean. We have learned of his automotive experiment, though it is not clear as to why the British government subsidized his venture into high priced automobiles in Northern Ireland, especially since the British now produce several well-established automobiles, including the Rolls Royce. I am not interested in his involvement or non-involvement in drug traffic, the effects of his having been reborn, or the caus^ of the breakup of his marriage. Six: I am willing to call Hie Ferraro-Zaccaro case closed. For those who are interested in following the saga, there is a book on the way, already contracted for by a publishing house. The book will be a breakthrough, since by tradition not only Vice Presidents, but Vice Presidential candidates were expected to be silent. Seven: Gloria Steinem now may be given a rest from news coverage. In 19S-1, she closed out the year with reflections on reaching the age of fifty years. For those who would know more about Gloria, past and future, there is a prospective book, to be titled “The Tale of the Bunny,” or something close to that. Eight: Frank Sinatra. Frank should be left to sing out his remaining years in relative peace. Even he seems so tired of his own past that he initiated court action to prevent not the publications, but even the writing of a book about him, by Kitty Kelley. All in all, a unique effort at prior restraint. Nine: I am hopeful that there will be no revival of the Gabors-mother and daughters, with the possible exception of occasional appearances on the Merv Griffin Show, which progressively has taken on the social function of a kind of going-away station, a last stop before the exit. Ten: Claus von Bulow, accused of attempting to murder his wife, should be left to the tabloids. Further stores, if they must be printed, about James Watt, former Secretary of the Interior, David Stockman, Office of Budget and Management, Ann Burford and Rita Lavelle, formerly of the Environmental Protection Agency, and the recently-breaking story of the finances and the love life of the Secretary of Health and Human Services and her husband, should at least be relegated to the second section of the newspapers, with some warning in the first section of what lies in the second section.

Goings On In The Arts Two Artists’ Work On Display By LAURIE MARSHALL and TUTT STAPP-HARRIS Rappahannock artist Linda Heimstra’s handpainted Pennsylvania Dutch hex signs, currently on display at Brambles’ Cafe, draw and hold the eye—the bold contrasts in color and shape create movement and life, and give identity to each detail of the designs. The images are controlled and lively, with flower petals, scallops and shooting stars all meshing into harmony within the disciplined traditional structure of the hex sign. Whether it is the delicate pastels or a circle of tulips or the rich tones of a strong geometrical pattern, each image is complete and satisfying. taum—hhm PUBLIC NOTICE The regular monthly Town Council meeting for the Town of Washington will be held on Wednesday, February 13 at 8 p.m. Topic for discussion at that meeting will be the ordinance creating an historic district commission. Peter Kramer Mayor Coppercraft Lee Robertson, newest exhibitor at the Rush River Company, maintains that “Art is not the domain of any one profession. Art is a way of life. . . a state of being. The creative product of this state is immediately recognizable by its completeness, its depth and its total quality.” In craftsmanship and m form, Mr, Robertson’s works in copper, currently available in Rappahannock, fill this definition of artistry. From statuesque table and floor lamps with copper foil and glass shades to fountains to a soaring ten foot weather vane, his work is characterized by rich colors and textures, attention to detail and imagination. Often echoing plant-life in his forms, each piece has an organic quality and an imposing physical presense. 1986 Rappahannock Artists Calendar Anyone interested in the production of an Artists’ Calendar for 1986 is invited to attend an “Ideas and Planning” meeting on January 26 at 1:00 p.m. at Middle Street Gallery.

SPEFRY-^ISEW HOLLAf\D r New Holland — Culpeper r 790 James Madison Highway L 825-0188 1 Cider Making A Constant In Atkins’ Life By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Many businessmen agree that the best way to avoid financial difficulties is through diversification so that if one part of a business has problems there are other business interests to fall back on. Elmer Atkins has had that spirit of diversification throughout his life. Atkins was bom and raised in Rappahannock, and tells an interesting story of his beginning in the cider business that has been a constant in his life since 1942. “In 1942, my father and I decided that cider would be a good business so we took some apples to Stephens City and had cider made,” said Atkins. “We came back and had our apples and the cider out in the yard, and a flood took everything away.” Atkins continued having cider made, though, and he began selling apples on regular routes. He sold the cider in a small road-side stand. In 1962, Atkins began making cider in his own press, and began making cider for other people. Atkins is the only person in Rappahannock to do custom pressing for others. Another addition was made to Atkins’ business interests in 1967 when he took over the Phillip’s 66 Station on Route 211. He gave up his apple routes at^that time, and began selling antiques, apples, cider “and a little bit of everything” at the station. “Other people had tried to run the station, and hadn’t been able to make a go of it,” At kins said. “I operated the station from 1967 until July of 1983. ” Atkins rented the station until 1972, and then bought the business. He sold the station last year, and moved all of his operation to the site of his cider press on Route 661. Atkins and his wife, Martha, live above the businesses in a house they built in 1973. “Now I’ve got everything right here, and I don’t have to go down to the station every morning,” Atkins said. Atkins has four buildings for the refinishing and display of the antiques, the cider press, cold storage of apples and cider and an office. William Sisk has been working with Atkins at the business for 13 years. The cider press is a 32 inch press which Atkins terms a medium sized press. He estimates that up to 60 gallons of cider a press can be made if the apples are good, and that 2025 gallons can be made a day. October and November are the peak months for pressing, but Atkins makes cider all through the winter. “We make some with preservatives in it to sell in the summer,” Atkins said. The labels on the cider reads Elmer’s 66 and Antiques, but Atkins will drop the 66 when his supply of stationery articles with that heading run out. Besides his cider and antique business, Atkins also raises a few hogs and cattle. Of his many years in business, Atkins said that “I’ve done very well, I guess.” —Rappahannock News Photo/Jane Bangley Boy Scout Troop No. 123 of Washington held its Court of Honor on Friday, January 11.

My Visit To The White House By Christopher Angell On Thursday, January 9,1 went to the White House for a reception party for Mr. William Ruckelshaus, the director of the Environmental Protection Agency. I was invited because my father works for Mr. Ruckelshaus. The party was in the Roosevelt room in the e West Wing. The room was filled with paintings of the Roosevelts and one was not finished because the artist died before he could finish the painting. A large table in the center of the room was covered with food. There were three glass bowls of strawberries, and a cooking pot nearby with ten pounds of melted chocolate, which I liked very much. And there were also cookies and pastries all over the table, as weJl as three glass bowls of melon squares. I met half the people in the room, if not more, and finally silence fell across the room, and in walked with President. And to liven things up, he said, “We’re certainly quiet in here!”, and a couple other comments. And then he presented a gift to Mr. Ruckelshaus for all his services to the Environmental Protection Agency. It was quite a day for me.

His devoted wife, Lillie G Peyton In memory of Edgar B Hawkins In memory of our beloved husband and father, who departed this life three years ago today, January 21, 1982 Three years ago on a cold snowy day God closed your eyes and called you away He saw the road was getting rough The hill so hard to climb He gently closed your weary eyes And whispered peace be thine. Your lonely hours and days of pain And weary nights are past Your ever weary worn out frame Has found sweet peace at last The family circle was broken When He took you away But one by one as each one goes We hope to meet some day. Sadly missed by Wife, Sons & Daughters and Grandchildren I would like to thank the Rappahannock Rescue Squads; Culpeper Memorial Hospital, doctors, nurses; Mr Christopher Geest of GeestJohnson Funeral Home; our pastor Rev Wayne Richards for all their assistance; our host of friends and relatives for their prayers, cards, flowers, calls and visits, food and any other favor I might have overlooked during the illness and passing of my beloved husband May God bless each of you.

While you’re getting comfortably settled and fastening your seatbelt the captain and his crew are busy with their checklist. While you’re watching the movie they'll be studying instruments, monitoring radio signals, following charts. It’s wonderful to relax, confident the people up front know what they’re doing and where they are going. In the excitement of welcoming the oeginning of the New Year don’t overlook the fact that YOU are the chap with the checklists and charts. We aren’t passengers on this spinning globe. We are pilots and navigators and members of the crew — all .^sponsible for reaching safely a destiny God has set for us. Long before Kitty Hawk generations were finding in the Bible their checklists and charts. In its earliest days the world recognized Christianity as a new “plan for living’’ and called it the Way. “Happy New Year" puts all the emphasis on take-off. Those up front who know what they’re doing always say “Happy Landing.” f Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Joel II Thessalonians Isaiah Mark Psalms Zechariah I Peter 3:16-18 2:13-17 42:1-4 9:2-8 65:4-8 8:1-5 1:1-5 Copyright 1985.

In an effort to reduce vehicular accidents in Rappahannock County, Sheriff John Henry Woodward is asking all motorists to follow a few simple rules in order to reduce the odds of an accident occurring: The stopping ability of any vehicle is reduced on slick pavement. Whenever driving on wet or icy road surfaces, reduce speed accordingly and allow at least 50 percent more distance behind the car in front of you. Maintain a smooth, even acceleration while traveling on slick pavement. Sudden braking can cause loss of vehicle control, and taking your foot off the accelerator quickly can have the same effect as sudden braking. Hydroplaning occurs when standing water on a road surface is deeper that the tread depth of the tires. This causes the tires to lose contact with the road. If this happens, do not apply the brakes. Ease back on the accelerator until contact between the tires and the road surface is restored. Hard braking can cause loss of vehicle control. When stopping on slippery pavement, pump the brakes lightly and hold the steering wheel firmly. Apply steering only when your foot is off of the brake pedal. In wet weather, brakes get damp and lose effectiveness. Keep them dry and ready for instant use by lightly riding the brake pedal for several seconds at regular intervals during wet weather driving. The heat produced by riding the pedal will dry the brake lining. Have your vehicle’s braking system inspected periodically, and at least once a year. The only way to insure safe braking is to have the entire system inspected regularly by a qualified mechanic. Following these simple rules for driving in inclement weather conditions can help reduce traffic accidents and fatalities according to Sheriff Woodward.
