At the beginning of the meeting, School Board Chairman Beverly Massie announced that individuals would each be given three minutes to make their remarks. Wayne Kanaby began by restating some remarks made by Superintendent Robert Estabrook at last week’s meet ing. Estabrook had said that the proposed budget was not cast in stone and that it was Rappahannock’s budget. “That means that the people wanting to speak on the budget should be here tonight, which means that the people here represent the county,” Kanaby said. Who? What? Us? - __ , IUn*taa«ock Newt Hwto/Jon KUvafcamp These sheep want it understood that they have outgrown any responsibility for March’s weather. - I " Spring Planting Underway. Kanaby then said that he supported the Rappahannock Education Association’s request for an 18 percent increase in teachers’ salaries, and he asked for a show of hands from those in the audience who also supported that request. The majority raised their hands. “I think that Rappahannock County has spoken,” Kanaby said. Sharon Kilpatrick first urged the Board members to have new math textbooks for the high school included as a priority item in the budget. She then voiced her concern about the difference between teachers’ salaries and the administration’s salaries. “I would like to see us get started this year on catching up our teachers’ salaries with the salaries of surrounding counties,” Kilpatrick said. “It will be harder next year to catch up.” Frank Reynolds, president of the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community, spoke to the Board about giving consideration to the arts programs in the schools when formulating the budget. He described the various programs that RAAC has sponsored for the schools. “We have had a good relationship with the system, and we hope that it will grow,” Reynolds said. Reynolds then said that it would be important for the Board to remember the arts when designing the budget, and he cautioned the Board against depending on RAAC to provide arts programs for the schools. “The schools must provide for their own arts programs,” Reynolds said. “It would be better if there were a formal arts program in the schools that RAAC could work with, and that must be provided for in the budget.” Reynolds then spoke as a parent. “I feel strongly that the School Board should be the spokesmen to the Board of Supervisors on what is needed to make the schools superior, not just standard,” Reynolds said. “We should have the best we can get, and we (Continued on Page 18) Local Gardeners Tell All By JON KLAVERKAMP Rappahannock News Staff Writer “You can’t plant anything when the ground is wet, understand?” That is longtime gardener Clara Updike, age 74, of Washington speaking, and she is not to be interrupted. “No wife in the world, no mother or father - worth his or her salt - would even think of not planting a garden.” Relax. She’s talking about the days when her grandmother planted. In those days, not having a garden “wasn’t heard of.” Well, what if you didn’t have one? “The people would have chased you out of the community.” Stiff penalty for not planting a garden. Luckily, Updike’s grandmother planted one. “I can see her working with that hoe now, she was stout, she wore a great big apron and gathered com in it, and she always wiped the perspiration from her face.” As a young girl, Updike worked the garden with her grandmother. “We always grew white squash, you don’t see that anymore. We also grew pole beans.” What are pole beans? “Instead of growing in a bunch, Rappahannock News Phoio/Jon Klavcrkamp Carroll Racer of Washington takes a rest after planting his first rows of potatoes. they (the beans) grow up a pole. You have to stake them a certain way.” What then? “I’ve seen them hanging in clusters.” But, “sometimes they get contrary, they don’t always want to go up the pole. Then you have to be very careful and wrap them around the pole.” To insure a good crop, Updike’s grandmother planted seeds according to the moon signs. Updike herself doesn’t subscribe to that method, but she remembers her grandmother’s devotion to it. Asked how the system worked, Updike explained, “You plant under ground crops — potatoes, onions, beets - on a dark moon (that is, when the moon is getting smaller)1. ” Why? “Because if you plant tl em on a light moon, they’ll keep coming up, they’ll come to the top of the ground. ” Then of course “any crop that grows above ground — say, beans or com - you plant on a light moon. ” Updike recalled other tricks of the trade. Some think “anything planted on March 17 (St. Patrick’s Day) won’t be bothered by bugs.” One man she knew was so religious about ^planting his potatoes on (Continued on Page 10) WSA Receives Report On Easements, Hears From Auditor By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer Approximately 60 percent of the easements for the collection lines for the Sperryville Sewage System have been signed by landowners and returned according to Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority member Carson Johnson. Johnson reported on the easements at the WSA’s meeting on March 7. An easement is the right of one property owner, in this case the WSA, to use the land of another. Johnson said that the other property owners have the easement agreements, but that some of the people have questions. “There are two or three that still have questions about where the lines will be, and how the lines will affect shade trees or something like that,” Johnson said. “I haven’t been able to answer their questions satisfactorily, so they’re waiting for more information from me, the engineer or the contractor on exactly where the lines will go.” Hank Gerhart, of the engineering firm of Buchart-Hom, Inc. in Williamsburg, said that a clause could be written on the easement agreements that would protect any trees in the tempof rary construction area. Gerhart said that the lines can be laid so that trees will be bypassed. Trees in the permanent construction area will have to be removed, though, said Gerhart. “The important thing for you to do when you make changes like that is to send me a copy of it,” Gerhart said. When asked about the other easement agreements, Johnson said that he did not anticipate that any will not be signed and brought in. “Well, I think that we ought to really push, and I think it’s up to you guys (Johnson and Doug Baumgardner, WSA attorney) to do it, to wrap this thing up,” said Robert Dennis, chairman of the WSA. “The problem hasn’t been because the people wouldn’t sign, I just haven’t been able to get them together where the husband and wife have to both sign and it has to be notorized," Johnson said. He said that any of the other problems should be solved by the clause or by the landowners meeting with Gerhart who can explain about the placement of the lines.

Grand Jury Returns Five Indictments By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Five indictments were returned by a grand jury at Rappahannock’s Term Day on Monday, March 11. James Allen White was indicted for grand larceny, Murphy Reed, Jr. was indicted for grand larceny and breaking and entering and James Allen Smith was indicted for grand larceny and breaking and entering. James Allen Smith was released on $2,500 personal recognizance bonds for each charge, and the case was continued to April 3 at 9 a.m. The personal recognizance bonds require Smith’s appearance in court on that day or the amount of the bonds will be forfeited. Judge William Shore Robertson declined to appoint counsel for James Allen White, and the case was continued to give White an opportunity to employ a lawyer. A $10,000 cash or corporate surety bond in White’s case was kept in effect by Judge Robertson. The cash or corporate surety bond requires that White either pay $10,000 in cash or get .< bondsman in order to be released from jail. Judge Robertson also issued a capias order for Reed. In other cases, Albert J. Grayson was declared an habitual offender on the recommendation of the Division of Motor Vehicles. As an habitual offender, Grayson loses the privilege to drive for 10 years. If caught driving during that period, Grayson would be guilty of a felony with a mandatory sentence of a year in jail. Grayson could get his license back in five years if a review of his case determines that he has completed a substance abuse program and that there have been no further violations involving substance abuse. The DMV declares people habitual offenders if there have been three driving while intoxicated offenses or other felonies involving a motor vehicle, or at least 12 minor offenses such as speeding. Joseph Wenk pled guilty to two counts of trespass and two counts of petty larceny and was sentenced according to a plea agreement. Wenk was sentenced to 12 months in jail for each offense to run consecutively. Six months of the sentence was suspended, 30 days will actually be served, and Wenk will spend the remaining five months of the sentence under unsupervised probation. The conditions of the agreement are that he pay his court costs within four months, he perform 40 hours of community service and that he commit no further crimes George Lee was involved in the same offenses with Wenk, and Lee also pled guilty to the charges. Lee received the same sentence as Wenk except that he will serve the 30 days in Fairfax, and he is to pay his court costs within 10 days.

About Gifted Children The Rappahannock County Public School System has devoted much time and effort in the identification of gifted students during the 1984-85 school year. The members of the identification committees have been conscientious and thorough in their difficult tasks. To perform their tasks properly, the committees have done a great deal of study on gifted children. The following article was compiled by the elementary school gifted committee. The purpose of the article is to provide clarification of who gifted children are. Gifted Children-Who Are They? Definitions of the gifted child may be as varied as the books or articles one rqads. One definition states that the gifted are those who score in the top two percent on intelligence tests. Some view the gifted in terms of their creative or productive accomplishments. The Virginia Plan for the Gifted, approved by the State Board of Education in May, 1984, states, “Gifted students are students whose abilities and potential for accomplishment are so outstanding that they require special educational programs to meet their educational needs.” We at Rappahannock Elementary School are, naturally, drawn to the term “potential” in any definition of the gifted. The children we work with have had little time to display concrete accomplishments which cause them to stand out from their peers. In fact, many have yet to take standardized tests, which are frequently used to identify gifted individuals. We, therefore, favor definitions or identification procedures which stress observation of exceptional ability or interest. According to the Virginia Plan for the Gifted, by which gifted programs in Virginia will be guided, a child may give evidence of high performance capability in one or more of the following six areas: 1. General Intellectual Ability.

These children assume leadership roles and are accepted as leaders by their peers. 6. Creative and Productive Thinking Ability. This label describes children who are problem solvers. They use creative and imaginative approaches when faced with a conventional task. We all know gifted adults. Identifying them without the aid of a battery of tests is common practice. The process is no great mystery. He or she may be the relative who always has an imaginative solution to a problem when we seek advice. It may be the mechanic who everyone says can fix any car ever made. It may be the neighbor who is always selected as chairman of community activities because he just seems to get things done. It may be a friend who sings at least as well as anyone we hear on the radio. Today’s gifted children will take the places of those adults described above. They come from all races, religions, backgrounds, and economic situations. It is our job as educators and parents to assist these children in reaching their potential. If we. believe that we know who the gifted child is, it is. at least as important to recognize who he or she is not. The gifted individual is not a superior person. Being gifted does not in any way increase one’s humanity. There are rude, selfish, and unpleasant gifted people as well as those who are kind, generous, and loving. Gifted people have the same faults, weaknesses, admirable qualities, and strengths as do the rest of us. We can best help the gifted reach their potential by viewing their specialness in terms of their abilities to learn. They seem to be able to learn more and learn it faster and easier then others. Gifted children need special situations and challenges to help them take advantage of this ability. It does everyone an injustice, however, to isolate the gifted in elitist groups. Such groups tend to alienate insiders from outsiders. They focus on differences instead of similarities. Yes, gifted children present unique challenges. They are special people, but so is every child in his or her own way.

Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc. Member. Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1985 A County Administrator - Yes Currently under consideration by the Board of Supervisors is the question of whether to hire a county administrator. We urge the Board to go ahead with the idea because to do so would fill a void in the county’s government. What Rappahannock lacks is a professional person to oversee the day-to-day management of the county. Such management should include the foresight and skill to prepare the county to deal effectively with an array of increasingly complex issues. Smart planning on a daily basis probably would have headed off such recent crises as 1) the Peyton Farms landfill dispute and 2) the suit against Rappahannock over its inadequate animal facilities. Consider also how manageable the sewage problem in Sperryville might have been with the aid of a county administrator. He or she would have had the time to seek a more efficient resolution to that problem. In ah interview', Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke affirmed his support for the hiring of a county administrator. He said that, at present, issues and the concerns of citizens are dealt with in one month increments “because there is no one to execute on a day-to-day basis what the supervisors call for.” He thought that people (taxpayers) deserve the kind of government that administrates, and responds to citizens, daily. Luke compared the county’s government to a business, saying that the county’s supervisors were the equivalent of a business’ board of directors. But he noted that whereas a business has an executive offi cer to carry out the wishes of its board, the county has no such officer. In a letter distributed at the supervisors’ March 4 meeting, two citizens groups — the Rapp’k Chapter of the Izaak Walton League of America and the Rapp’k League for Environmental Protection - urged the supervisors to hire a county administrator. Why? Because they “are concerned that the government of the county be effectively managed and fully responsive to the county’s needs at a time when change, growth and development can reasonably be anticipated.” The letter also asserts that a county administrator could assume the duties of the zoning administrator, and the combining of the two positions is often cited as one of the more attractive features to the creation of the new position. One word of caution here. The two citizen groups and others concerned have pointed to the successful results of the administrator in Clarke County to argue for the hiring of one in Rappahannock. What has to be kept in mind is that 1) Clarke has a fulltime zoning administrator (the two positions were not combined) 2) Clark^ ha§ a full-time financial officer* whgassists the county administrator and 3) Clarke has a full-time secretary to the administrator. We point this out to make the comparison fair and to show that miracles did not come about in Clarke due to the hiring of one person. With this in mind, we think the hiring of a county administrator is a good idea. Rappahannock needs one.

One must ask why therefore should the landowner of one hundred acres pay the same rate per acre is the person who owns five acres? Obviously, the large landowner would be subsidizing many services for the small land owner. My father, for example, owns seven acres in a rural part of Prince William County. He pays the same taxes per acre as the person who owns 1/2 acre in one of the many subdivisions. However, my father lives on a dirt road with no sidewalk, no sewer, no water and no street lights. There is a rumor that a county policeman drove by his house once. So land use is fair to the landowners, and is also an important tool in preserving the open areas, forests and farms of our county. JOHN LEKANDER Jenkins Hollow Our Rappahannock Heritage — Letters To The Editor Increase Teacher’s Salaries To the editor: The school budget is one of the most important decisions the School Board and the Board of Supervisors make each year. I see two key reasons for this: first, it has a tremendous effect on employee morale; second, the budget sets the capabilities for the coming year. This county has ah excellent record of maximizing the effectiveness of its tax dollars. In the schools this indicates hard work and sacrifices on everyone’s part-School Board, Administration, teachers, cafeteria workers, and so on. We have a great deal to be proud of and thankful for. I am concerned most about the double standard for recommended salary increases. I compare this to Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde--the scientist who underwent transformation depending upon which cup of elixir he drank from. In Mr. Estabrook’s proposed budget his two cups seem to be educational responsibility and fiscal responsibility. The cup of fisqal responsibility belongs to the Supervisors alone, and that it is none of our jobs to second guess what they might or might not be willing to appropriate. I find it commendable for the Superintendent to seek a relative value approach to Administrative salaries, assuming this is done fairly. I ask the School Board to take the same step for other positions. Specifically I ask the School Board to consider our teachers at least as good as the average of the surrounding counties, and second to state your intention to bring them to such a pay level within two years. Accordingly, I recommend that this year’s increase to base salary be 14 percent. I arrive at this figure thus: our base ($12,540) is now about eight percent below the average of the sur rounding counties ($13,498). Assuming those counties receive an eight to 10 percent increase to base this year and next, it would put the average at 24 to 28 percent above our current base. With the increased per pupil state aid for next year, and without the major allocation for roof repair of this year, it is entirely feasible and proper to make up half of the higher figure in the budget under discussion. Hence, my recommendation for a 14 percent increase to teacher base salary. In closing, let ir.t- refer to a very good question asked at the School Board meeting by Guy Foster last week, but left somewhat hangingwhat have the teachers indicated they are willing to do in return for the increase they proposed? They are willing to stay and teach, probably with greatly improved morale. To quote the last sentence of their written presentation: “The only way to attract quality teachers to Rappahannock County and to keep the career o..:s here is to help them achieve a respectable standard of living, a condition which cannot exist should current standards prevail.” It is easy to understand why Rappahannock has a hard time competing for good teachers when our pay scale places us in the bottom eight percent of all Virginia counties (125th out of 135), and lower than the average for Mississippi, ranked lowest in the entire U.S. Please understand how critical his issue is for our children’s education. Please state your intention to bring our teachers’ salaries in line with surrounding counties on a two year plan, and take the first step in this direction this year by proposing a 14 percent increase to base in the budget you send the Supervisors. BARNEY O’MEARA Sperryville, Va. Teachers Are Underpaid lo the editor: I believe most residents of Rappahannock County are in agreement with the statement that our teachers are severely underpaid. It was in the expectation of hearing a remedy for this situation that I attended the School Board meeting on Tuesday, March 5, during which the Superintendent was to present his proposed budget for 1985-86. Initially, the proposed 13 percent increase in all teachers’ salaries sounded like a reasonable attempt to redress the lopsided pay situation in the Rappahannock County Public School system until the statement, “I did not have the heart to give myself less than a 13 percent raise in salary as well”, fell like a sledgehammer. I would like to request the members of the School Board to consider during their deliberations on the school budget the disparity between the generous salaries of the administration and school principals and the minimal wages of the teachers. According to the proposed budget, a teacher with 25 years of service at the close of his career w'ould earn $21,435 compared to $40,895 for tlie position of superintendent or $33,134 for a high school principal. Is this a fair representation of the duties, work load and qualifications of each position? The argument that the funds required for a significant raise in teachers’ salaries, or for the art teacher so desperately needed in the elementary school, are lacking does not ring true to my ears. They could be made available through a reassessment of the proposed salaries. The value of the services provided by our teachers to our community is not reflected in the existing pay scale. CECILY KOHLER Washington Education Top Priority lo the editor: School Superintendent Estabrook’s most important comment during his initial school budget presentation was that although it is his responsibility to prepare a school budget, the figures displayed are not cast in stone. He added that the ultimate school budget is “our” budget; Rappahannock County citizens’. That means since we are tired of high teacher turnover, lengthy replacement recruitment and low teacher morale, we can send a positive signal to the teachers, school board and supervisors by telling them that Rappahannock County must remain competitive with surrounding counties by increasing teachers’ salaries at a minimum of 18 percent. We want quality education and we want quality teachers. Forget the past, look to future trends. As the United States continues to grow as the world leader of high technology and diminishes in labor intensified heavy industry, the type and quality of our children’s education becomes increasingly important. Today’s children must be more highly educated than their parents in order to compete in future job markets. Most parents want to see their children become more successful than they. It doesn’t happen by itself. It is not accomplished by luck. Our children’s survival preparedness is our responsibility through effective education. Our teachers deserve to be treated (and paid) like the professionals they are. After all, they are the foundation of our county’s number one priority; education. WAYNE G. KANABY Castleton From Both Barrels Virginia’s Odd Couple By GEORGE BOWLES The surprise announcement that a group of self-described moderate and conservative Democrats had f rmed a “Virginians for Baliles and Wilder” committee sent a wave of dismay, and caused not a little head scratching, through the Old Dominion’s political circles last week. The purpose of the committee is to form a ticket, going into the state Democratic caucuses and nominating convention, consisting of Attorney General Gerald Baliles for governor and state Sen. Douglas Wilder for lieutenant governor. Baliles is generally regarded as the candidate of the party’s more conservative wing. Wilder, who is black, is the Democrats’ only announced candidate for the lieutenant governor nomination. While Wilder rejects the liberal label, it is undeniable that he is drawing his principal support from the party’s more liberal constituent groups. It is also true that, as his nomination becomes all but certain, his candidacy is gaining a wider acceptance among the presiding elders from all points of the party’s political compass. Still, if the ticket can be put together it will be, without doubt, the most spectacularly unlikely political marriage since conservative Republican Ronald Reagan announced, in his abortive 1976 presidential bid, that liberal Sen. Richard Schweiker of Pennsylvania was his choice as a vice presidential running mate. The committee, which its organizers say was formed without the specific authorization of either Baliles or Wilder, is headed by Lawrence A. Framme III, chairman of the 3rd District Democratic Committee, Jean Mundy, chairman of the 6th District Committee, and George Gilliam, former chairman of the 7th District Committee. According to Framme, other leading Democrats around the state have signed on. They include National Committeewomen Dottie Schick of Fairfax, Vice Mayor Claudette Black McDaniel of Richmond, Sen. Edward Holland of Fairfax and Sen. Virgil Goode of Franklin. Also supporting the move is Richmond investment broker McLain T. O’Ferrall, long a stalwart of the party’s moderate to conservative wing. While this specinc gambit — the formation of the committee — had not been foreseen, some move of a fairly dramatic nature by the Baliles camp had been anticipated. Babies’ opponent for the nomination, Lt. Gov. Richard Davis, is generally regarded as holding a lead of perhaps substantial proportions in the struggle for delegates to the state nominating convention. That convention will be held in the Richmond Coliseum on June 7-8. The delegates, however, will be chosen at party caucuses which will take place on March 30 and April 1, just three weeks from now. While unlikely, it is possible that one of the gubernatorial candidates could wrap up the nomination at that time. Thus, with Davis reportedly well ahead in fund-raising, in the support of the various constituent groups which usually turn out for the caucuses, and in the breadth of his appeal to party regulars, it has become imperative that Baliles take some action to broaden his own support base. That base is generally seen X \ as anchored to the party’s right flank. This could be a highly advantageous position in general election campaigns, but in the Democrats’ nominating process, it could place the possibility of his winning the party’s nod in very real jeopardy. Hence some decisive move was needed and needed quickly. It would be overstating the case to describe the sudden alliance with Wilder as pushing the panic button, but it is not overstating it to say that it is just the type of dramatic stroke which Baliles’ strategists saw as essential, and which the Davis camp expected to be forthcoming. Given the political realities involved, the use of a “Virginians for” group to surface the ticket was an astute tactic. This device, which has been used repeatedly in the past, serves to provide a certain amount of insulation between the candidate and the group’s activities. Thus Baliles has sent a message to those party components which support Wilder that he would welcome Wilder as a running mate, and yet, by not becoming personally involved, hopes that he has minimized any damage that message may have caused among his own conservative constituency. For Wilder’s part, the alliance has undoubtedly strengthened his credentials among the party’s moderates and conservatives, yet he is similarly insulated, at least to a degree, from criticism from his own constituent groups. The formation of the committee also virtually assures him that he will be unopposed for the lieutenant governor’s nomination since it is from the party’s moderates or conservatives that a prospective opponent would presumably come. For this reason, Wilder may be the chief beneficiary of the committee’s formation. Will it help Baliles in the nominating process? Observers around the Capitol seem inclined to doubt it. Davis has already made heavy inroads into those groups whose members, earlier on, might have been swayed by the Baliles-Wilder alliance. Also, coming as it does only a few weeks before the crucial caucuses, there is a certain transparency about it which is likely to be most obvious to those whom Baliles is trying to reach. To put it bluntly, he — or at least the committee — is attempting to use the inevitability of the Wilder candidacy to make a belated appeal to black, labor and liberal voters in order to shore up a candidacy which may be in deepening trouble. It is a move which might appear to the Democrats of all persuasions, as the saying goes, to be too clever by half. How it all works out will not be clear until the caucuses, or perhaps until the convention in June. But in the meantime Virginia politician-watchers will be observing with interest the political mating dance of the Commonwealth’s newest odd couple.

Paintings Of Area Scenes And Wildlife Hard For Artist To Let Go By JANE BANGLEY RapiMhuinock N«w« SUIT Writer Artist. Damon M. Hertig has stacks of paintings besides the ones on exhibit at the Town and Country Restaurant in New Baltimore, but it is still hard for him to let a painting go when it is bought. “I do the oil paintings mainly as a hobby, so the money I get for them isn’t that important to me,” Hertig said. The paintings are primarily of wildlife, horses, dogs and mountain and hunt scenes. There is one painting, though, of a ship at sea that hangs apart from the others in the restaurant. “That painting I did when I was 21, and I’ll never sell it,” said Hertig. Hertig began painting when he was 12 with his uncle Ernest Hertig in West Virginia. “My parents would send me to stay with him in the summers, and I just started painting with him,” Hertig said. His uncle’s paintings are exhibited throughout West Virginia. After finishing high school, Hertig attended the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, D.C. where he studied fine art and commercial art. “I then joined the 82nd Airborne and used many of my artistic skills painting murals at Ft. Bragg and Okinawa,” Hertig said. “I was also able to obtain more artistic culture as I traveled all over the Far East.” When he was discharged from the Rappahannoc k News Photo/Jane Bangle Artist Damon Hertig exhibits these and other oil paintings at the Town and Country Restaurant ii New Baltimore.

Don’t Sell March Short By DENNIS WINGFIELD Contributing Writer Well, let’s hear it for February. It displayed a heart other than on Valentine’s Day. It gave us a temperature of 69 on the 23rd and a 76 on the 24th. Ordinarily, these would be May temperatures. February has often been the month of some monstrous weather, with very cold temperatures and some significant snowfall. While this past February gave us some cause for concern, it was certainly not unbearable. Temperatures were cold during the first half but moder Taking a Healthy Interest In You. Warren Memorial Hospital has a new kx)k these days. Our new logo is a symbol of our commitment to your good health.

This Februar was colder than 1984, and it wa also drier. Last year we had nearl] eight inches of precipitation (7.93 and about half that (4.09) this year. 1 Interestingly enough, heavl rains forced school closings in Feb ruary of 1984 and 1985. Last year ol February 13 and 14, 5.5 inches d rain feel, sending streams out a their banks. This year, 2.45 inchei of rain fell causing the same prob lem on February 12. February’s weather also gave ui an insight to some very pool judgment on the part of some citi zens who thought they should tak< advantage of the unseasonably warm temperatures to bum brush When the temperature reached 65 degrees on Saturday, the 23rd some people (human nature bein| what it is) decided it would be ] good day to get outside and clean u| the property. This included burning off fields! burning brush and other things thal enhance property appearance. Noj taking into account that the ground surface was dry (no significant rainj fall for two weeks) and winds wer« blowing at 15 to 20 miles per hour; the burning started. As a result, oui community fire fighters were called upon more often than I can rememi ber. Fires were out of control iri several areas. These volunteer^ who are too often taken for granted, deserve much praise. As we get into the month of March, a month that traditionally produces some very strong winds, let us give some serious recognition to weather conditions and preventive measures related to brush burning. While February is behind us and springtime is just a few weeks away (plow those gardens), do not sell the month of March short when it comes to inclement weather. April may be known as the fickle month, but March would contest that title. gphiMgBEGINS MRCH 20 JIMMIE O’REED’S ST.

You are not alone if you were affected adversely by the last, deep recession. Unemployment reached its peak and many families had trouble paying bills. Say, this was your position. Your credit rating had sunk to a new low. However, you are now back at work and have saved enough for a down payment on a home. Will your poor, past credit picture prevent you from getting a home loan? Maybe and maybe not. The lender will look at many factors, especially the appraisal of the home to determine its value as collateral. Also looked at, will be the amount of the down payment, your total family income and, yes, also your past credit history. So, your credit history is only one of many factors to be considered. If your credit has improved markedly, it would be to your advantage to contact your local credit agency for a copy of your file. If there are discrepancies, have them cleared up. When you approach the bank, be honest and forthright and your chances for approval will be enhanced.

Wakefield Sponsors Outings Club Hikes An open invitation is extended to the public to participate in hikes sponsored by the Wakefield Outings Club. The club was organized in 1980 by its present director, Hunt Harris, with an underlying purpose to “promote an awareness of the hiking and camping opportunities available in the immediate geographical vicinity, and to provide its participants with limited basic instruction in outdoor skills, local history and folklore.” The club now meets at least once a month, weather permitting, any anyone interested in participating is welcome to join. Children 12 years of age or younger must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Participants should bring a packed lunch, comfortable yet rugged clothing, and any additional items such as binoculars, backpack, compass, etc. that they are willing to be responsible for. Hikes have included such local spots as “the Peak”, “Big Devil’s Stairs”, “Little Devil’s Stairs”, “White Oak Canyon”, “Old Rag Mt.” and “Hazel Mt.”. The club also sponsors overnight trips and would like to sponsor such activities as bicycle, canoe and rafting trips, climbing, orienteering and spelunking. Volunteers with experience or interest in any of these activities are encouraged to share their knowledge and ideas. Participants may meet at Wakefield to catch a bus or meet at the site of the outing. Dates of outings are subject to change for various reasons, so please contact Hunt Harris the week before a scheduled hike for verification. He may be contacted at the school, 635-8111, or at home, 987-8564. The schedule for upcoming hikes is as follows: March 24—the Peak; April 21—Hazel Mountain; May 4—Old Rag Mountain; May 25—White Oak Canyon. THE ALL-NEW 1986 MAZDA B2000.

Spring Gardening, Planting, Gardeners Tell All (Continued from Page 1 ) March 17 that even snow wouldn’t stop him. “He would push snow aside to plant his potatoes” on that date. Updike told a story about a woman from the city who was advised, before planting, to wrap her potatoes in paper to keep the dirt out of their eyes -- “and she did it." George B.

Does Updike have her own formula for a good garden? Read on: “Sunshine, fertile ground, rain showers, and of course you have to work it, you have to keep it free from weeds.” She stressed the importance of hard work, and she is obviously no stranger to it. For example, “One year I canned 500 jars of fruit. In that day you canned everything you had, because you couldn’t give it away - everybody had a garden.” The Rappahannock News also spoke with Reverend Edward Jenkins of Washington, who has been planting a garden in the county for 52 years. His parents and grandparents were natives of Rappahannock and, as far back as he can remember, they always gardened. Asked about this year’s garden, Jenkins said he will plant peas and onions the earliest. “Anything that frost won’t hurt I plant around the middle of March.” “I might have planted peas this week, but it’s just too cold,” Jenkins said. He usually plants potatoes near the end of March or in early April. This year, however, he will be extra cautious because “last year the potatoes were planted too early and they rotted - the ground was wet and cold.” When will he plant the rest of his crops? “We generally plant most everything between the first and fifteenth of April.” Such as? “Cabbage, beets, lettuce, squash, tomatoes, cucumbers, lima beans, com, parsnips, radishes, and sometimes peppers. We have a good garden every year.” The reverend’s wife, Barbara Jane IT’S GARDENING TIME AGAIN! And we have all your sardenins needs.

She also likes to plant lima beans when the moon is pointing up because that way “you’ll have more beans on a plant.” “Anything that blooms should be planted when the moon is up,” she said. While waiting for warmer weather to plant in, the Jenkins have been busy tilling their soil. “We’ve got the garden in shape,” Mr. Jenkins said. What is his formula for a good garden? “You’ve got. to have rain, but we depend on the Lord more than anything else. We can plant it and water it, but God’s got to give increase - it’s all in His hands.” Mr. Jenkins said that gardening saves them money. “We can a lot of it, we’re like squirrels - we lay up for the winter.” After considerable effort the Rappahannock News was able to coax from Mrs. Mattie Ball Fletcher some of her most cherished gardening secrets. Warning; the following information should not leave the county. Fletcher revealed that she plants peas on the north side of her garden in March. Then, when the peas are five inches tall, she plants her lima beans on the south side; this is usually in May. Why does she do this? Because “that way the peas are out of the way when the lima beans are coming up.” Also, she plants her okra about two feet apart in rows. Then she plants cucumbers in between when the okra are about five inches high. “I do this because the cucumbers will then run up into the okra,” Fletcher said. “The cucumbers look nice hanging in the okra.” This method came about by accident. One year Fletcher’s cucumbers just nappenea to run up into her okra and “I liked it so much I did it very year. I get a kick out of seeing ti»^ cucumbers hanging in the okra.” Last Saturday the Rappahannock News visited the site of Carroll Racer’s garden, which is in Washington. Racer had already planted his peas and onions a week before (on the previous Saturday), his raddishes, carrots, beets, mustard, and lettuce on Monday, and “two rows of potatoes on Friday.” He put in five or six more rows of potatoes on Saturday, the day of this interview. Racer said the types of potatoes he was planting ~ Red Pontiac and Rusty -- could go in earlier than most. Also, “mine is one of the earliest gardens in the county because it is on a slant - the rain drains naturally from it,” Racer said. He won’t plant anything more now until the end of March or the first of April when cabbages go in. Around the first of May he will plant com, cucumbers, string beans, and cantaloupes, “whenever the ground is ready.” Racer started gardening at the age of five or six when he was old enough to help his mother and father in the family garden. “I love to garden. I’d really be lost without it," he said. “It provides food for family and friends.” Racer also donates some of his harvest to local charities. What is his formula for a good garden? It has nothing to do with moon signs. “This is my sign,” he said, and he pointed to his warm, dry soil. “The ground is in good shape.” Donald Cave, who lives in Harris Hollow, has planted a garden in Rappahannock for the past 35 years. “I’ve just always gardened,” he said. “I like fooling around with it, and it gives me something to eat. Here is what Cave will be eating if all goes well with his garden: potatoes, sweet corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, string beans, onions, turnips, peas, cress, and mustard salad. Does he look to the moon signs to better his luck? “I don’t do that; I just plant when I get my ground ready.” He used to plant his potatoes in March but doesn’t anymore. “The frost might get ’em.” Why does Cave garden? “It beats sitting around.” The Rappahannock News also spoke with Maurice Herndon of Sperryville about his raised bed garden. In all, Herndon has 14 separate garden beds, each of which is framed by pressure treated lumber to prevent rotting. Each bed is 4 feet wide, 10 inches high and either 8 or 20 feet long. Herndon resorts to these less traditional gardening tactics because his land is rocky and unlevel. “These garden beds adapt to land that ordinarily would be useless,” he said. “I can put a raised bed garden anywhere.” Why? “Because you don’t dig in the . ground, you put them on the ground.” Herndon said the mjyor advantage of raised bed gardening is his ability to control the environment. He creates his own dirt out of sandy loamT’ wood chips, dolomite lime and well-rotted cow manure. Also, since the beds are elevated and framed by wood, his crops can’t be washed out by excessive rain. Why else does Herndon love his raised bed gardening system? “This is as near to a lazy man’s garden as you can find; it eliminates the heavy work.” If you don’t believe him, he will promptly prove to you how he can weed and harvest while sitting down. Then he will look up and smile.

Planning, The 1985 Season Extend Your Gardening Season An ideal way to increase the yield of your garden is by extending your growing season. If your normal growing season is six months, a three-month extension could provide up to a 50 percent increase. Cold frames, sun boxes or hot beds are relatively inexpensive, simple structures that you can build or purchase which provide a favorable environment for growing cool-weather crops in the very early spring, the fall and even into the winter months. Cold frames and sun boxes have no outside energy requirements and rely on the sun for their surce of heat, whereas hot beds are often heated by soil heating cables, steam carrying pipes or fresh, strawy manure buried beneath the rooting zones of the plants. Heat is collected by these frames when the sun’s rays penetrate through the sash (made of clear plastic or glass). In late spring and summer, excess heat can be reduced by providing some type of shade to the sash. To maximize collection of the sun’s rays, the ideal location for the cold frame is a south or southeastern exposure with a slight slope to insure good drainage. A sheltered spot with a wall or hedge to the north will provide protection against winter winds. Ideas which will simplify use of the frame include a walkway to the front of the frame, adequate space behind the frame to remove the sash and easy access to plant, weed, water and harvest. In early spring a cold frame is useful for hardening off seedlings which were started indoors or in a greenhouse. This hardening off period is important as seedlings can suffer serious setbacks if moved directly from the warmth and protection of the house to the garden. Young seedlings need a transition period for gradual adjustment to the outdoor climate. It is also possible to start an extra early cool-weather crop such as lettuce, onions or spinach and grow it to maturity in the frame for early spring harvest. Spring and summer uses of the cold frame center around plant propagation. Young seedlings of hardy and half-hardy annuals can be started in a frame many weeks before they can be started in the open. The soil in a portion of the hot bed can be replaced with sand or peat moss or other media suitable for rooting cuttings and for starting sweet potato slips. Some innovative gardeners build lightweight frames that can be lifted and moved from an early spring crop to a more tender crop planted slightly later in the season. Fall is also a good time for sowing some cool-weather crops in frames. If provided with adequate moisture and fertilization, most cool-season crops will continue to grow through early winter in the protected environment of a cold frame. Depending on the harshness of the winter and whether or not additional heating is used, your frame may possibly continue to provide you with fresh greens, herbs and root crops throughout the cold winter months. The frames can be built from a variety of materials, with wood and cinderblocks being the most effective, if wood is selected, us one that will resist decay such as a good grade of cypress. Wood frames are not difficult to build; however, it is also possible to buy kits which can be easily assembled. There is no standard sized cold frame. The dimensions of your frame will depend on your situation —amount of available space, desired crops, size of available window sash and permanency of the structure. Remember not to make the structure too wide for weeding and harvesting — 4 to 5 feet is about as wide as is convenient to reach across. The sash of the frame should be sloped slightly to the south to allow maximum exposure to the sun’s rays. Management of the coldframe is quite simple if a few basic rules are followed. Insulation may be necessary when a sudden cold snap is expected. A simple method is to throw burlap sacks filled with leaves over the sash on the frame at night to protect against freezing. Ventilation is most critical in the late winter, early spring and early fall on clear, sunny days when temperatures rise above 45 degrees. The sash should be raised partially to prevent the build up of extreme temperatures inside the coldframe. Lower or replace the sash each day early enough to conserve some heat for the evening. In summer extreme heat and intensive sunlight can be avoided by shafting with lath sashes.'*' Watering should be done early in the day so that plants can be dry before dark to help reduce disease problems. Intensive planting techniques and good management procedures can yield significant harvests from small areas during times of the year when you never thought it possible to grow a garden.

East Street Culpeper Phone 825 8371 Make Your Own Hanging Baskets Suitable containers for hanging baskets include the popular openwork wire basket, plastic lattice-type baskets, clay and ceramic pots and wooden tubs. Containers may be fashioned at home if you desire. The containers are suspended on a wire or chain. A variety of types and styles of containers for hanging baskets can be found in most nursery and garden catalogs. Whatever container is chosen, the basic preparation for planting is the same and is quite simple. The baskets or containers are lined with coarse sphagnum or sheets of wood moss. The sphagnum should be thoroughly soaked in water and then pressed firmly to remove the excess water. This lining of moss will serve to retain the soil mixture and provide for good drainage of surplus water. The basket is then filled to about one inch of the top with a soil mixture consisting of equal parts garden loam soil, clean sharp sand and peat moss or leaf-mold. If you desire to have plants growing out of the side of the basket as well as drooping down from the top, these plants should be placed when the basket is about half filled with soil. Care must be taken in the selection of the materials to be planted in the container. The location where the basket will hang must be considered. There are plants to suit every location. For the shady area, fuchsias and the trailing types of tuberous begonias with their cascades of exciting and beautiful flowers are ideal. Such plants as Vinca major, petunias, portulaca, and lantana are ideal for sunny locations. The number of plants used will be determined by the size of the container and the ultimate size the plants will attain. In large baskets, five plants can Rock Gardens Feature Informal Appearance By DIANE RELF Virginia Tech Extension Home Horticulturist Rock gardening began when gardeners tried to grow plants that were native to mountain regions at lower elevations. The use of rocks provided a cultural environment similar. to the plants’ natural habitat. As rock gardening has become more popular, the selection of plants used in the practice has expanded considerably. It is hard to define exactly what a rock garden plant it. Perhaps the best way to determine if a certain plant is appropriate is to consider if it would be in a similar setting in nature. The essence of a rock garden is its informal, natural appearance. Many plants usually associated with more traditional flower beds and borders, such as dahlias, petunias, and geraniums are not suited to a rock garden. In general, most rock garden plants are low and compact and usually are perennials that can still be found in the wild somewhere in the world. Rock gardens may be developed where a natural outcropping presents sufficient stones to design and plant an attractive setting. In this situation, many site characteristics, such as available light, are predetermined and you must identify plants that will do well in that location. The first step is to examine existing plants to see which grow naturally. ABERDEEN FARM NURSERY COMPLETE LANDSCAPE SERVICE DESIGN, PLANTING, RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL LAWN INSTALLATION LAWN MAINTENANCE Members: AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF NURSERYMEN NATIONAL LANDSCAPE ASSOCIATION S37-4444 If partial shade is provided by such deep-rooted trees as oaks, the diversity of plants that will do well is increased. Many rock garden plants, however, thrive in the sun so surrounding trees are not essential. A plan should be sketched to indicate which plants will be retained and where other plants will be introduced. All unwanted plants should be eliminated to prevent their taking over the garden site. When a rock garden is constructed without existing rocks, site selection becomes increasingly important if one wants a natural appearance. A slope or ravine is better suited to rock gardens than a flat circle in the middle of the lawn. Care should be taken to avoid a garden that appears artificial or out of context with the rest of the landscape. A southern exposure should be avoided unless you use plants which can tolerate the effect of winter sun. After the plants are dormant and the ground is frozen, a heavy organic mulch is often used to prevent the repeated freezing and thawing that heaves plants from the ground. This point shouldn’t be ignored as much movement will not be an attractive asset in most landscape locations. When bringing in rocks for the garden, use native rocks that are of a good size. Avoid undersized rocks that simply lie on the surface. Embed each rock so that a third or more of its volume is below ground. Fill the crevices between the rocks with a soil mix suitable for the plants to be grown. Some of the plants you may want to try in your rock garden include: • Alyssum saxatile — Goldentuft, • Arabis albida — Wall cess, • Aubretia — Aubretia, • Cerastium tomentosum — Snowin-summer, • Dianthu8 deltoides — Maiden pink, • Helianthemum — Sun rose, • Iberia serpervirens — Candytuft, • Linum perenne — Flax, • Phlox subulata — Moss pink, • Saponaria ocymoides — Soapwork, • Sedum — Stone cress, • Sempermvum — Hen and chickens and • Veronica incana — Speedwell. generally be accommodated; place one plant at each “corner” and one in the center. For a small basket, three plants in a triangular planting is usually satisfactory. What might seem to be a sparse planting in the beginning will in a short time, with proper care, fill the basket to overflowing. Hanging baskets require faithful care. The soU and moss liner should never be allowed to dry out. Local conditions will determine the frequency for watering. Apply water liberally. The moss provides adequate drainage and prevents the soil from becoming over-saturated. This does tend to leach the nutrients from the soil. A regular program of fertilization with a water soluble or liquid fertilizer applied every two weeks is suggested. Some of the best plants for hanging baskets include: achimenes, begoanis, browillia, fancy-leaf caladium, campanula (bellflower), fuchsia, fern species, hedra helix (English ivy), Hoya camosa (waxplant), lantana, oxalis, pelargonium (ivy-leaf geranium), petunia, portulaca, saxifrage sarmentosa (strawberry geranium), sedum sieboldii, tradescantia (inch-plant) and vinca major (periwinkle). Various combinations of some of the above materials in terms of foliage contrast, color of bloom, and growth habit can provide interest and variety in the plant composition of the hanging basket.

Goings On In The Arts Local Artists, Organizations Nominated For Awards— By LAURIE MARSHALL & TUTT STAPP HARRIS For RAAC Two Rappahannock artists and two organizations which contribute to the artistic life in this area were nominated for the 1985 Govemor’s Awards for the Arts in Virginia. The second annual presentation of these prestigious awards honoring outstanding contribution to the arts in the Commonwealth wall be presented by Governor Charles Robb at an Awards Dinner in May. The nominations were open to individual artists and producting arts organiza tions as well as individuals, organizations and businesses which t ourage and support the arts. Cnoreographt >• and dancer Sally Nash has brought an 'xeeptionally high standard of excellei. j in the arts to rural Virginia for over 10 years. Settling in Rappahannock County, she founded a dance/theatre organization in 1070 called "The Last Minute Wood Company." With this group of previously untrained but athletically and artistically-oriented fellow county residents, she has choreographed seven dance dramas, performed locally and in Washington, D.C. and Baltimore. Her work has received wide critical acclaim. Alan Kriesman of the Washington Post has repeatedly praised her work, specifying once that a piece was "rigorously structured, uniting formal discipline with psychological freedom.” Jean Nordhaus, also of the Post, responded to another piece stating that Sally Nash is "one of the more individual spirits in our midst.” Much of the material in Ms. Nash’s w ork is drawn from the nature of rural living, giving people in the country an imaginative reflection which expands how they see themselves and the world around them. Her pieces have also found a valuable place among urban audiences, who have responded strongly to the spiritual and unaffected power of her work. Ms. Nash is known for her ability to use untrained dancers in exciting ways choreographically. One measure of her effectiveness as a teacher is that members of the company have gone on to make contributions in the performing arts or to study dance full time. She has also choreographed dances for community plays, brought master teachers to the area and helped to bring other dance performers. She and her imaginative, powerful work have been an inspiration to artists in all media in this area. Joy Turner Luke is a painter and owner of Studio 231 in Sperryville, where she conducts intensive courses on color and on artists paints. She has made contributions through her work that benefit all artists in the United States.

The first, “The Chronic Health Standard," means that artists’ materials will now be reviewed by toxicologists and either certified as safe or labelled with a warning if there are long-term health hazards. Many artists’ materials can cause brain and liver damage over a period of time; this standard addresses health issues for artists for the first time in American history. Mrs. Luke personally fought the resistance of industries which felt threatened by such a standard. Over 90% of the materials manufactured now are voluntarily complying with the standard. The second standard, “Specifications for Artists’ Oil and Acrylic Emulsion Paints,” means that consistent labelling of the quality of contents of artists’ paints will be available to the artist consumer. The standard improves the potential longevity of the artwork produced in our time. The third standard, ‘Test Methods for Light Fastness,” also addresses the issue of permanance, focusing on how long paints maintain their original colors when exposed to light. The result of Mrs. Luke’s work is that the culture created in this point in history has an increased chance of being available to future generations. In addition to her efforts spearheading standardization and safety in artists’ materials, Mrs. Luke is one of the nation’s foremost experts on the subject of color. She is on the editorial board of the international scientific journal “Color Research and Application.” She has spoken nationwide to groups as diverse as the Illuminating Engineering Society, the Washington Optical Society and the Northern Virginia Fine Arts Association. She has also presented professional seminars on color for the Smithsonian Resident Program and co-sponsored by the American Society of Interior Designers. Mrs. LiUKe comes to tnese projects with the concern of an artist as well as the mind of a scientist. A practicing painter from 1959 to 1968, she exhibited at the Corcoran Museum, the Baltimore Museum and in three oneperson shows at the Studio Gallery in Washington, D.C. She has shared her knowledge with other artists and art students, tirelessly and generously, for over 20 years. Middle Street Gallery in Washington, Virginia is the only outlet for serious professional artists in the area. Established in 1981 by Dan Lewis and Sara Shorter, the gallery has specialized in innovative works of art with a high level of craftsmanship and spirituality. This showcase for rural artists maintains the caliber of a Washington, D.C. Gallery. Among those who have exhibited at Middle Street are photographer Tim Kilby, whose work is included in the Corcoran Museum photography collection; painter Rex Slack, who went on to have a one-man show at his native West Virginia Museum of Culture and History and will be exhibiting at the Second Street Gallery in Charlottesville this year; sculptor Natalie Lewis who has exhibited widely throughout the state; and Ray Heus, a printer whose work will be featured in Sweetbriar College’s inaugural show in their new art center. In addition to the high-quality framing available to artists through Dan Lewis’ skills, Middle Street Gallery serves artists by providing a gathering place. Artists drop in regularly to discuss career developments and current projects. Both formal and informal dialogues about issues in the arts take place, including slide presentations by guest artists around the country. The gallery also serves the community. High school art classes, elementary school children, senior citizens and people who have never been in a gallery before now have the opportunity to see imaginative and exciting artwork. Since many of the local artists draw on the surrounding land and people for their material, residents have an increased personal involvement with the artistic process because of Middle Street Gallery. The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community was also nominated for its contribution to providing greatly increased cultural opportunities to the area. RAAC operates the Gay Street Theatre in Washington, Virginia, where highquality films are shown each week and a wide variety of RAAC sponsored guest artists perform. Due to RAAC’s renovation efforts, the facility is available for community use after being abandoned for many years. RAAC also brings cultural opportunities to the young people of the area through cooperation with the schools and to senior citizens through contact with the Area Agency on Aging. A general effort is made to increase the awareness of and usefulness of the arts in daily life. Over 15,000 people have attended RAACsponsoredevents thus far. These four nominees for the Governor’s Awards are representative of the genuine caring for artistic quality that is present and growing throughout rural Virginia.

News From The Castleton Area It was St. Lucia, one of the “Windward Islands,” located in the British West Indies, where Helen and Howard Holschuh recently spent two weeks on a mission trip. They were joined by another Castle ton couple, Lloyd and Betty Sims, and they all stayed in Vieux Fort, while tending to their various duties. Betty taught sewing classes to the people while Helen created informative, window displays at the Baptist Center. The men, Howard and Lloyd were busy redoing the missionaire’s (Jonathan and LaHoma Singleton) kitchen by building new cabinets and sink. This was the third mission trip for the Holschuhs and the most rewarding because of the opportunity to work with the people.

While it’s their job to watch over people and animals, the game wardens believe wildlife protection is everybody’s business. They hope the hunting, fishing, boating and bird-watching public will support their efforts to make what they consider necessary changes in the Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries. For the first time, members of the Virginia Game Wardens Association Inc. are opening their organization to the public. They are soliciting input from Virginians on wildlife preservation, the rights of the landowner, effective game laws and other pertinent issues. Citizens who want to join the wardens association must pay membership dues and will receive a bi-monthly newsletter. But the wardens say they want more than money; they want the public’s voice and support on legislative matters. “We’re limited in what we can do,” said Jim Bankston, a game warden in Rappahannock County. “By having an informed public take an active role in reviewing and sponsoring legislation, we can become a serious lobbying effort.” On their day off, wardens from Clarke, Fairfax, Fauquier, Loudoun, Prince William, Rapphannock and Warren counties told a reporter about their complaints — too much work for too little money, reduced manpower, outdated radios and lack of weather gear. During the peak deer hunting season from November to January, wardens work 70 or 80 hours per week, said Fauquier Warden Rick Loving. Many wardens, who are responsible for an entire county, are on call 24 hours daily. Wardens’ salaries start at $15,118 and peak at $20,646 after seven years. “There is no lax time anymore,” Mr. Loving said. “People used to kid us about all the free time we had when hunting season ended. But now there are more laws to enforce year round. ” Richard H. Cross Jr., executive director of the Virginia Game Commission, said long hours are “a condition of employment.” “When a .person signs on, he understands he’s on call 24 hours a day,” Mr. Cross said. “If he works overtime, he’s entitled to compensatory leave within a year, but. . . there’s no overtime pay.” Game wardens are charged with enforcing hunting, fishing and boating iaws. In the past decade, hunting and fishing licenses jumped 19 percent and n , , , _ Rappahannock News Photo Rappahannock s Game Warden Jim Bankston. boat registrations were up 139 percent. In that same period, the number of game wardens has dropped, Warden Loving said. "Before World War II, there were more wardens, the deer kill was under 5,000 and there were about 3.5 million people. Now, we’ve got a 90,000 deer kill with a population in Virginia of 5.5 million,” Mr. Loving said. “And with a rising deer kill, complaints rise. The more public, the more complaints," said Phil.Parrish, a Fauquier warden. The Virginia warden force currently numbers 136, down 11 from its previous quota. Eight positions were lost because of state agency manpower cutbacks imposed three years ago by Gov. Charles Robb. The other three positions are vacancies which should be filled this spring. But the Virginia Wardens Association, which consists of 110 members or 85 percent of the warden force, wants a minimum of two wardens per county. That action would bring Virginia’s total to 190 wardens, not counting those in supervisory positions. Executive Director Cross said his hands are tied on the manpower issue.

Mr. Cross said two bills are in the General Assembly this year for consideration. One proposed amendment in the House of Delegates calls for the hiring of 29 additional Game Commission employees. The second, in the Senate, would bring wardens on the level with state troopers. That bill has been before the legislature since 1973. The wardens also are concerned about their lack of communication with the outside world when they leave their cars. On several occasions, the wardens have left their radios to stalk illegal hunters and have been unable to call for additional help. A Fauquier sportsmen’s group called Blue Ridge Archers launched a campaign several months ago to raise $2,400 for two mobile radios for the county’s wardens. The campaign has gone “slower than expected” and the group has raised $800, said member Chris Anthon. Mr. Anthon, a Warrenton resident, said he plans to become an associate member of the wardens group so he can be aware of legislative issues affecting hunters and wardens. “The newsletter will keep us informed and the lobbying (at the General Assembly) will be a big thing. If the wardens can get the outdoor groups and general public on their side, we can get things done,” Mr. Anthon said. The wardens’ fourth demand is for more weather equipment. Loudoun Warden Blake Denney said he worked 29 years before the Commission issued him a raincoat. The complaint may sound trivial, admitted Warden Bankston, but anyone who has ever stalked illegal hunters during a November shower realizes the need for proper attire. The wardens said they hope the public does not perceive their demands as petty or selfish. They stress their dedication to Virginia wildlife and the need for the public’s help. “We’re in a unique position. We’ve got our finger on the pulse of things,” Warden Bankston said. "We’re the middle man between the commission and the hunter and the landowner. We see the problem and we can make our recommendation, but we don’t think we’re taken seriously.” “We want to' take hold and do something positive, but we need the good, strong voice of the public behind us,” Mr. Bankston said. For information on how to help, contact your local game warden.

Rappahannock JV’s Win Championship, Varsity Ends Reason With Semi-Final Loss By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock High’s junior varsity basketball team came away with the Bull Run District Championship Saturday, March 2 cfter defeating Page County, 43-40 at Warren County High School. The JV’s had a 15 point lead at halftime with the score standing at 249. “W'e played a good defensive half only allowing one field goal, but we sent Page to the foul line 13 times and they hit seven of the free throws,” Coach Greg Waters said. Page had cut Rappahannock’s lead to seven in the third quarter due to “our early fouls and defensive laziness in the second half,” Coach Waters said. Page outscored Rappahannock 18 to 10 during the third quarter. “We changed defenses in the fourth quarter to protect the players in foul trouble, but still we seemed to only want to ride out the lead,” Coach Waters said. “Because of our lack of defensive effort, Page pulled to within three points with 14 seconds left.” Page missed a shot that would have pulled them to within a point of Rappahannock, and Devin Moore made the rebound that allowed Rappahannock to hold the ball until time expired. Richard Tribino was the JV high scorer for the game with 13 points. Thomas Williams and Butch Foster both scored 10 points.

Rappahannock’s varsity team advanced to the semi-finals of the Bull Run District Tournament by winning against Stonewall Jackson on Wednesday, February 27. The final score was Rappahannock 56, Stonewall 51. “Both teams played well, and it was a back and forth game,” Coach Don Dawson said. At the end of the first quarter, Rappahannock had the lead 14-8, but at the half, Stonewall had gained the lead 27-24. Rappahannock’s Robb Brown had scored 10 points in the first quarter, but injured his ankle halfway through the second. “That’s when we lost the lead because the team seemed to lose its enthusiasm after Robb got hurt,” Coach Dawson said. H.B. Wood helped to keep the team in the game with six of six free throws in the second quarter, and Brown returned to the game in the second half. He went on to score a career high 20 points to become the lead scorer for the game. “We started playing good defense in the third quarter,” Coach Dawson said. “Four and a half minutes into the third quarter we scored 19 straight points to regain the lead 45-35.” Stonewall started cutting into the lead during the fourth quarter, and the score was tied a few times. In the last 40 seconds of the game, Tommy Jenkins hit four free throws. Jenkins had 14 points during the game and Jeff Portor ViuH 10 The win advanced Rappahannock to the semi-final game against district leader Page County on March 1. Coach Dawson was pleased with the team’s level of play even though the final score was Rappahannock 59, Page 70. “We led at the half 29-25, and in the second quarter the team played the best ball of the year,” Coach Dawson said. Rappahannock maintained its lead in the third quarter. “Then Page started hitting shots and getting the ball to Kerry Painter on the inside.” Painter had 30 points during the game far Page, and has since been named the most valuable player in the district. “We really weren’t doing anything wrong, but Page was just playing better,” Coach Dawson said. “We didn’t make very many shots in the fourth quarter because we were taking forced shots because of the time.” The high scorer for Rappahannock was Tommy Jenkins with 19. Robb Brown had 14 and Jeff Porter had 12. Coach Dawson said that he was pleased with the team’s effort, and that the season turned out as he had expected even though he “thought we might have won a few more games.” The varsity finished with an 8-8 record in the district and a 10-10 record overall. “I have seen promising things for next year,” Coach Dawson said. The team will lose four seniors and two starters. 1 NOTICE INVITING PUBLIC COMMENT ON CUSTOMER PROVIDED COIN TELEPHONE SERVICE The Virginia State Corporation Commission has initiated an investigation to consider whether it is lawful and in the public interest to authorize private pay telephone service whereby persons other than the local telephone companies could offer coin or pay telephone service.

She said that the fees hinder teaching by stifling creativity. “When a parent pays for their chile to use a book, they want to make sure that every page in the book is covered*” Wood said. She said that that limits what teachers do in the classroom. “I would like to see the fee reduced or the practice of selling the books adopted,” Wood said. She then discussed her thoughts on the salary proposals in the budget. “It is hard to justify to me the 17 percent raise for administration members,” Wood said. “I also disagree with Mr. Estabrook’s comment last week that he is not ashamed of the county’s conservative history because I am.” Wood said that the county should shoot for the top for its teachers and its schools. Another former teacher, Laurie Marshall, compared successful businesses’ respect for the people who work for them with the school system. “I think that we should try to learn from the private sector because that’s Sunday John 2:13-17 Monday Genesis 6:4-8 Tuesday Zechariah 1:2-5 Wednesday Proverbs 4:10-15 Thursday Mark 10:17-21 Friday Mark 12:13-17 Saturday Genesis 20:1-6 SURPRISE f Suddenly you're rich!

Marshall said that it would be sui> cide not to give the best possible educational chances to the county’s children. , “It is very important that people who have worked in the system for 25 years make $25,000 to $30,000 a year,” Marshall said. Massie then asked for comments , from teachers not affiliated with the Rappahannock Education Association. Bob Chappel, the principal at the high school, said that he supported a substantial increase in teachers’ salaries, but not the Association’s request. “I know that we have quality people on our staff, and I want to keep that quality,” Chappel said. “I would be very sorry to see any of the teachers leave.” Kim Chesson, a second year kindergarten teacher, said that it will not be possible for her to live on her salary. “I see no future in that, and I don’t live extravagantly or spend a lot of money,” Chesson said. “I don’t spend money on entertainment because my entertainment is the beauty of this county and I would hate to leave my job because I love teaching, but if I can’t support myself then I will have to.” Don Bomberger spoke on behalf of the Education Association’s salary committee, and he presented a followup salary proposal. “We believe that the Superintendent’s proposal falls short of remedying the difference between Rappahannock’s salaries and the salaries in surrounding counties,” Bomberger said. The follow-up proposal would raise the base salary for Rappahannock teachers to the average of surrounding counties in three years. “Our original WSA (Continued from Page 1 ) The WSA decided to have Wayne Cilimberg, executive director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning Commission in Culpeper, and Gerhart get in touch with Johnson and Baumgardner a few weeks before the next meeting. At that time, if there are still some people who have questions, Gerhart and Cilimberg will meet with those landowners in an attempt to explain where the collection lines will go. Auditor The WSA also received a report from the Authority’s auditor, Dennis A. Bailey of Orange. “The audit has basically gone fairly smooth in certain areas, and in other areas it seems to be a little lacking,” Bailey said. “For the period from July 1, 1983 to June 30, 1984, I’ve found out that we have all of the receipts, dispersals and other documents.” Bailey said that the problem with the audit involves determining a beginning balance for the Authority due to the lack of a formal set of books before 1980 and between 1980 and 1983. Bailey said that he would take the balance from September of 1980 and add all of the dispersals and other documents to get a beginning balance. “Then I would suggest that from this point forward, you have a formal set of books because in the past you were supposed to have a formal set of books, but being a voluntary orgnization like you are, you have other things on your mind,” said Bailey. Dennis said that there was very little income during that period, which will limit the number of transactions that Bailey will have to add up. Bailey said that he will also ask the Environmental Protection Agency for information from the period in question. The audit should be completed in the next few weeks. Other Business In other business, the Authority decided not to ask to be included in the county’s budget. The Authority also authorized Cilimberg to obtain insurance and bonding for himself and Authority members through the county’s insurance company. Before going into executive session to discuss legal matters, Johnson said that he was pleased about the attendance at Monday’s groundbreaking ceremony at the plant site. “I also was disappointed that the Supervisors weren’t there,” Johnson said. The Supervisors were in session on Monday, but “I think that Carson’s point, without being critical, is that they could have taken a short recess to come to the ceremony,” Dennis said. The Authority went into executive session at 8:45 p.m., and the next meeting will be on April 4 at 7:30 p.m. sr. PATRICK'S DM MARCH 17 request was 18.4 percent to base, and the Superintendent’s was 11 percent to base,” Bomberger said. That leaves a 7.4 percent difference as the Association’s long-range goal. Divided into thirds to span the three years, the percentage of increase the Association asked for above Estabrook’s proposal was 2 1/2 percent. “A 13.5 percent salary increase to base is our follow-up proposal,” Bomberger said. Massie thanked all of the people present for taking the time to attend the meeting and voice their concerns. “We appreciate the support, and ask for your continued support when we make our proposal to the Board of Supervisors,” Massie said. Regular Meeting The School Board took up their regular meeting agenda following the time allowed for public input into the budget. The Board approved a request from Peggy and Arthur Smith, owners of the Sperryville Antique Market, for a fund raising event to be allowed. The Smiths plan to sponsor the event to benefit the athletic program at the high school. The fund raiser will involve Peter Grover, a professional appraiser from Washington, D.C., who will appraise items for a cost of $6 an item. The Smiths will then donate $5 of every $6 earned to the high school. The event has been scheduled for August 18 from 10a.m. to 4 p.m. Estabrook reported that he has obtained vehicle insurance coverage for the school system at a cost of $2,675 with the Eerie Insurance Exchange. There has been no change in coverage. In an executive session held before their meeting, the Board accepted the resignation of Edward Lakes from his Sperryville Realty SPERRYVILLE EMPORIUM Sperryville, Virginia 22740 (703) 987-8088-Office B8.8 acres, hilltop building site with tremendous view, pond, road frontage. $120,000.
