VIRGINIA Phone 675-3340 25' • Waste Disposal Update John E. Driver, assistant city manager of Harrisonburg, recently wrote to Supervisor Nelson Lane and said “I will be elad to meet with you most any day to discuss the possibility of the City of Harrisonburg disposing of Rappahannock County’s refuse in our Resource Recovery Facility. I feel that we could handle your amount of refuse with no difficulties.” Driver was responding to a letter from Lane in which Lane expressed 1) a favorable opinion of Harrisonburg’s plant and 2) an interest in meeting “...to see if the numbers would make sense for both parties.” Also, the Solid Waste Disposal Committee will hold a meeting on Wednesday, March 27 at 7:30 p.m. in the Courthouse. The public is encouraged to attend. • Diabetes Tests The Rappahannock Lions Club is sponsoring diabetes tests to be conducted at the Rappahannock Medical Center beginning April 9. The test will be free and is for people age 18 and over. Test? will be by appointment and will involve a prick of the finger. It is important that the person to be tested does not eat before the test, and for that reason it is recommended that the appointment be made in the mornings. Appointments may be made by calling or coming by the Clinic. Diabetes is a disorder caused by an insulin deficiency, which prevents the body from using sugar for energy. Diabetes is a leading cause of blindness, decreases life expectancy by approximately one-third and 50 percent of diabetics do not know they have the disease. The tests will be free, but if diabetes is diagnosed, any treatment will have to be paid for. • Unemployment Rates Up The Culpeper branch of the Virginia Employment Commission has released a bulletin showing that unemployment rates in all counties of planning district 9 (PD9) increased from December of 1984 to January of 1985. PD9 comprises Rappahannock, Fauquier, Culpeper, Madison, and Orange counties. In December of 1984 the number of unemployed in Rappahannock totaled 147, in January of 1985 the figure rose to 179. That is a jump in percentage from 5.6 to 6.7. In general, the commission attributes the rise in unemployment to “seasonal cutbacks in construction, and other industries affected by inclement weather.” • Major Farm Conference United States Senators Paui Trible and John Warner announced recently they will hold a farm conference, April 1 to hear Virginia’s farmer’s comment on proposed farm legislation. “This conference will feature a broad spectrum of farm interests and knowing what Virginia’s farmers are thinking will enable us to better shape the 1985 farm bill,” Trible and Warner said. “It is time to consider the future direction of our farm programs, and this task deserves our best efforts. ” The farm conference will be held at 10 a.m. on April 1, in the General Assembly Room B at the State Capitol. The public is invited to attend the conference. For more information call John Miller at (202) 224-4024. • Book Discussion At Library The autobiography of distinguished black author Maya Angelou, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, will be the subject of the second program in the book discussion series, “Growing Up in the South,” to be held on Monday, March 25 at 7:30 p.m. at the Rappahannock Library.

Understanding Suicide... What Causes It; How To Prevent It By JON KLAVERKAMP Rappahannock News Staff Writer Call her Amy. She was an excellent student, active, well-liked at school and loved (adored) at home. No apparent problem. That’s not to say everything was perfect. Amy did have a temper, and she was known to lapse into occasional tantrums over trivial matters. She fought with her mother, not often, but when a fight did break out it was fierce. That doesn’t seem abnormal. The fights were not violent, just loud. If there was anything unusual about Amy it was the way she seemed slightly detached from the many activities she participated in. She was a dreamer. There is another thing that separates Amy from most people: for reasons that nobody can fathom, she came home from school one day and killed herself in a violent manner. Why did she do it? Could it have been prevented, and if so, how? To help answer these questions the Rappahannock News sought the advice of Lee Nettles, Director of Family Guidance Services of Rappahannock. Of course, Amy is not the only topic of discussion here. In the past year or so, several attempted and completed suicides have plagued the Rappahannock area. Does a rash of suicides, whether in the nation as a whole or in Rappahannock County alone, indicate some kind of link between occurrences. Nettles said yes. “Suicide is a highly contagious problem - one’s success (at suicide) will trigger another’s attempt.” Nettles explained that suicidal thoughts - feelings of hopelessness and helplessness - actually are very common. Such feelings “are experienced by a majority of people at some time in their lives.” It is an ambivalence about suicide that keeps many people from going through with it. “A person reaches an intense point where there is a struggle between the will to live and the desire to die,” Nettles said. “Part of the ambivalence is ‘what if I’m not successful (with the suicide) - what if I screw that up like I’ve screwed up everything else in my life’.” If it is the fear of failure that keep some people from attempting suicide then it is understandable how suickf can be contagious. Especially in a smal community like Rappahannock - “where everybody knows everybod; else” -- people are encouraged by th< example of others, Nettles said. Thos< who are ambivalent about suicide begii to realize that it is not such a difficul thing to go through with. Also, the more visible the persoi who commits suicide, the greater thi impact will be in decreasing the ambiv alence of others. A hermit who take his own life affects few people; nobod; cares much. But if an intelligent am well-liked student at a high school com mits suicide, then others contemplat The Family Garden - KappanannocK News raoto/Jon Kiaverkamp It takes more than one to cultivate this garden.

School Board Examines Budget Proposal By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock School Board, in a budget work session on Tuesday, March 19, examined Superintendent Robert Estabrook’s proposals, requests of teachers and bus drivers and made new proposals. Much of the Board’s discussion dealt with fringe benefits for the system’s employees. The Board began by considering Rappahannock Education Association requests. One of the requests was for a 180 day limit on accumulated sick leave instead of the present 100 day limit. School Board f’hairman Beverly Massie noted that the teachers’ request would almost double the present limit. School Board member Nancy Reeves made a motion that the cap on accumulated sick leave be set at 125 days. “If a,teacher needs to be out a full year with an illness that serious, then the Board would give that teacher individual attention,"'Reeves said. “They could also draw from the sick leave bank if needed.” The motion was approved. In response to a request that half of the per diem rate of salary be paid to retiring teachers or teachers leaving the system, the Board set a maximum payment of $2,500 for retiring teachers. Teachers had requested that a leave of absence for the purpose of studying after seven years of service be allowed for one teacher a year. Board members expressed their concern about what the teacher would do after the sabbatical. “I think that we would have to have some kind of contract with that person who Lakes a sabbatical that they would return system for a certain amount of time,” said School Board member Paul Nichols. Reeves suggested that seven years would be too long of a period, and that after a teacher reaches tenure he ing the same action suddenly have a 5 worthy model to emulate. • But before getting carried away, - let's first determine if Rappahannock 1 has experienced an unusual number of - suicides. ' Nettles had been aware of “seve; ral suicides” (that includes attempts) - over the past year in the Rappahan^ nock area. He did not know whether that was above or below the percentj ages in other areas. The number of atj tempted suicides by people he sees at ' f amily Guidance Services had not , reached unusual proportions. , Nettles did say, however, that j throughout the nation high schools have been struck by rashes of suicides (Continued on Page 1 Si or she would be eligible for sabbatical leave. Randall Updike, another member, said that he would like to have administrative personnel included in the sabbatical program. The suggestions will be considered and a final proposal made at the next meeting. A duty-free lunch for teachers w as included in Estabrook’s proposal, arid is considered more of a scheduling problem with no budget implications. Bus drivers requested a pay step system with three to four steps in drivers’ salaries. Massie pointed out that after the teachers’ salaries were indexed the Board had decided to move into making a step system for all employees each year. An index system has been developed for employees like custodians for 1985-86. “We have worked many months on the others, and we would need to take some time to develop a system for the drivers,” Massie said. The Board tabled the drivers’ request. (Continued on Page 1 8) Explaining The First Day Of Spring By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer March 20 was the firxt day of spring for 1985 despite a return of cooler temperatures during the week. The first day of spring is determined by calculating when the sun will be at the vernal, or spring, equinox. Equinox refers to the time when the sun’s center crosses the equator and day and night are of equal length. The equinox usually occurs on March 21, but can be the day before due to variations in the earth’s movements from year to year. In The American Book of Days, edited by Jane M. Hatch, the first day of spring is also described as the first season of the astronomical year. “In antiquity the start of the year was often reckoned from the vernal equinox, which was also chosen as the point from which to calculate-in an eastward direction-the 12 zodiacal constellations, starting with Aries.” The movement of the vernal equinox westward each year was discovered by Hipparcus, “the second century B.C. Greek astronomer w’hose calculations form the groundwork of the present zodiacal system....” The vernal equinox was the first point of Aries in Hipparcus’s time, but is now in the constellation of Pisces.

James L. White, co-chairmen, in an announcement of the fund drive. They report that last year, the Fauquier Chapter taught 578 people First Aid and C.P.R.; collected more than 1,000 units of blood from 071 donors; trained 217 children and adults as swimming and lifesaving instructors; and responded to 110 appeals from service men and veterans for help in obtaining government benefits. In ad dition, the chapter disbursed $1,246 to obtain food, furnishings and shelter for 18 persons who were burned out of their homes. The chapter last year also supplied 187 volunteers to help the professionals at the hospital, the nursing homes, the dispensary and the Bloodmobile. As the population of the two counties increases, bringing an increase in the expense of serving it, the chapter will need more money to continue its work, Parris and White point out.

General District Court Two charges against Irvin Lewis Jenkins, driving while intoxicated and refusal to take a breathalizer test, were both dismissed by Judge John Alexander during Tuesday’s General District Court. Jenkins was charged with the offenses by State Trooper R.A. Baines after Baines was called to the scene of an accident involving Jenkins' pick-up truck. The accident occurred January 21 on Route 612. Trooper Baines testified that Jenkins’ truck was over a steep embankment when he arrived at the scene at 7:55 p.m., and that Jenkins told him that the truck slid on some ice into a tree that gave way. Trooper Baines said that he noticed the odor of alcohol on Jenkins’ breath and that his speech was slurred, but Jenkins had no noticeable problems with his coordination. Since there was no further proof of Jenkins’ lack of coordination and the road was icy. Judge Alexander dismissed the case. In connection with the same incident, Jenkins was charged with refusing to take a breathalizer test. Trooper Baines said that he had been called to the scene at 7:45 p.m., but that he did not know the exact time the accident occurred. Jenkins’ lawyer. Jack Berry of Madison, asked that the charge be dropped since it was not proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Jenkins was taken for the test within two hours of the accident. The charge was dismissed. Other cases decided Tuesday included: Rickey Lee Jenkins, drunk in public, continued to April 9. Richard Daniel Frazier, non-payment of fine/costs, continued to April 9.

Goings On In The Arts Book Discussion Series By TUTT STAPP-HARRIS For RAAC / Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, the book that will be discussed on March 25 at the Library as the second installment of its current book discussion series on “Growing Up in the South, is the first of three books that black southern writer Maya Angelou has written about her life. Maya Angelou Although the last third of the book focuses on her adolescence California in her parents’ separate households, most of it centers on her childhood in Stamps, Arkansas, with her idolized brother Bailey, her strong and capable grandmother Momma, and her crippled Uncle Willie. It is revealing narrative of growing up black and female in the rural South of the 1930’s. In her keynote address, Dr. Suzanne Jones of the University of Richmond pointed out that, while anyone who grows up in the South must contend with the way in which the life of the individual is complexly tied to the community and the limits it places, in Angelou’s account black women faced unique problems even beyond racial relations; from the prejudice of men to the way in which white women were free to mold and even change a black woman’s identity to suit her purposes. Angelou, who calls herself Marjorie in the book, recalls one of her early jobs as a maid in a white woman’s house, practically the only position available to a black woman. Soon after arriving, her employer asked her to perform a task, calling her by the name Mary. The older maid in the household, Glory, said, “You mean Marjorie. Her name’s Marjorie.” The white woman’s response--“No, she’s Mary. That other r Supervisor Needed In Rappahannock County Wish to train sharp homemaker to interview, hire & supervise toy demonstrators part-time July through December. Excellent in home income. Background in teaching business or party plan helpful. Call collect at 703-885-0752 for Becky is too long. She’s Mary from now on.” Angelou’s shock at discovering that a white woman had that kind of power over her life was deepened when she heard Glory’s response. She said not to “pay it no mind” her own name had once been Hallelujah but had been changed for the same reason. And most chilling of all—“I like it. It’s shorter.” Dr. Jones emphasized in her lecture that it was Angelou’s determination which carried her out of the destiny that her Southern childhood tried to force on her. The book is a powerful statement of the control that each individual can have over his or her own life. Cheryl Staunton, who will speak on I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, teaches French literature at Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg. She grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and has loved French since the seventh grade. Through great personal and financial sacrifice, her parents enabled her to attend a six-week course abroad when Staunton was still in high school, and after her return from France, teaching French became her professional goal. She received her B.A. from University of Michigan in 1972, her Master’s from the Middleburg College Graduate School of French in Paris in 1974, and is currently finishing her Ph.D. at George Washington University. Staunton taught in the public schools for five years before beginning her doctoral work. The discussion will be held at 7:30 p.m. at the Library. The public is encouraged to attend. Basket Workshop Janet Kerig presented another of her unique and exciting basket workshops on March 12. , “Exciting” may not be the first word that comes to mind to describe a basket workshop, but excitement was unquestionably the mood of both experienced basketmakers and newcomers alike as they were all introduced to Janet’s special basketry form-the frame basket. An ancient Appalachian craft, the frame basket is formed from two intersecting circles of heavy twisted vine, one of which creates the rim and the other, the handle. Spokes are then added to establish the bottom, and reeds are woven in last to fill in the skeleton. “What makes this type of basketry so satisfying is that you set up the shape at the beginning,” said Kerig. The weaver can see his creation and visualize the finished product right from the start. The method also allows for great variety of shape-baskets produced in this workshop were deep and shallow, large and small, round and oval. The variety of shapes and twistings of the grapevine used also makes each basket have a unique and organic quality that is all its own. The process is not foolproof—Kerig admits to “stomping” on an uncooperative basket once in her career-but it is an unusually creative and satisfying form, either to begin with or to graduate to. Said one participant, “Now I can see the mistakes I made. The lengths of some of these things just aren’t right.” But then, with a smile, “Not too bad, I guess.” Kerig’s works will be displayed at the Worthy Gallery in D.C. in September. She plans to teach another workshop in early summer. Contact her at 987-8670.

Hard W ork And Dreams Fill Dancer’s Days By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer At age 17, Angie Howard has won eight pageant titles, has been working to perfect her art for 13 years and has been teaching in some capacity for the past seven years. It is no wonder that her “only goal is to be a professional dancer.” Howard has been dancing since she was four. She takes dancing classes on Saturdays when she practices for five and a half hours. On the days that she teaches, she practices for four hours, and she spends two hours practicing on her free days. , With the hours of practice, taking and teaching classes and her school life as a senior at Culpeper High School, Howard understandably has few free days. She teaches dance on Tuesdays in Rappahannock through the Child Care and Learning Center to three different age groups. “The little kids are cute, but I can see dedication and real progress in the teens and school age groups,” Howard said. She enjoys teaching, and she said that surprisingly her age has never been a problem. “The parents are very supportive and they’ve accepted me,” said Howard. Besides teaching about 40 students in Rappahannock, Howard teaches in Jeffersonton, in Manassas and she also gives private lessons. “I want to start a class in Culpeper, too,” Howard said. Her Rappahannock students will give a recital in June. Howard’s energy and dedication to dance has already begun to be noticed. When she was 15, Howard choreographed a dance and she called it, “Spirit of a Dancer”. She began entering pageants and performing her dance, and she won such titles as Miss Virginia, Miss Virginia Teen Talent, Miss U.S. Teen Talent 1984 and she won the East Coast Regional pageant. In all, Howard has eight titles and in the only two pageants she did not win she was named first runner-up. “I’ll probably continue with the pageants for the experience of performing for audiences,” Howard said. Howard also appeared on TV in February when a Washington, D.C. station used film of her dancing for a news story on the auditions for King’s Dominion theme park. “I was only on TV for 15 to 20 seconds, but it was still exciting since I was auditioning with about 5,000 other people,” Howard said. She has received a call-back from King’s Domin ion. Howard plans to continue teaching, and after high school she plans to study dance in college. “I’ll probably go to a community college for the first year, and I’d like to get into a dance company,” Howard said. “I’m also going to participate in dance workshops in D.C. to better my style and technique.” Martha Graham is Howard’s favorite dancer “because I love her technique for modem dance,” Howard said. Modem and .jazz are Howard’s first loves in dancing although she teaches the full dance range. Howard also has an interest in computers, but most of her time is spent in working towards her long range goal. “I want to dance someday in a Broadway show, and more specifically in Cats," Howard said.

Church’s V arianc e Allowed By Council By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer Four of Washington’s Town Council members voted to allow an addition to Trinity Episcopal Church in a short session on Wednesday, March 13. A variance for the addition had been issued last year by a previous council. The variance was issued for a 23 foot addition to the church’s parish hall that will make the building even along the front. “The ordinance did not have any mechanics at that time to grant a variance because we did not have a BZA and only a BZA can grant a variance,” council member Newbill Miller said. Miller said that the 1984 council gave the church permission to go ahead with the addition. “They (church representatives) came in for a building permit the other day, and the zoning administrator had some problem with it,” Miller said. “I’d like to see us reaffirm the approval of the addition.” Council voted to instruct Zoning Administrator Emiel Smet to issue the building permit for the addition. The council members discussed briefly the appointments to be made when the town’s board of zoning appeals and planning commission ordinances are approved. The Circuit Court judge will appoint the five members of the town’s BZA, and the Town Council will appoint the planning commission members. “I think that we need to start thinking about our recommendations for people because all of them will have to come from the town,” Miller said. Three more people will also be needed for the town’s architectural review board. The ordinances will be the subjects discussed during a public hearing on Wednesday, March 27 at the Washington Courthouse at 8 p.m. Before adjourning, the council members approved payment of a $1,200 bill for work on the town’s water pipes located beneath the streets.

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation ^ J THURSDAY, MARCH 21,1985 Not So Mysterious When asked about suicide, we (many of us) often cringe slightly and say we don’t understand it, as if it were terribly bizarre and alien to us. Is this really true? Perhaps we are more familiar with the frame of mind that breeds suicide than we let on - even to ourselves. Suicide is closely associated with a feeling that all of us know quite well: depression. Granted, the suicidal person experiences an extreme form of depression, but surely with the aid of experience or imagination we can fathom what it means to be deeply depressed. A suicidal person often is described as severely depressed and confused. He or she feels that life has lost its meaning and that things just won’t get any better. Is this a bizarre state of mind? Who among us does not struggle daily with the very same feelings? Of course, for most of us the struggle is carried on with less intensity than with the truly suicidal. The point is that, with some reflection, suicide need not seem so mysterious. As human beings, we all know what it means to suffer. To understand a deeper despair than that which we have experienced ourselves requires some intuition and imagination. If we make an effort to understand it, then suicide will become less of a threat. Why? Because we will be more sensitive in detecting when a person needs some help. Democrats And Reality in this season of political maneuvering, it’s time for the Democratic Party of Virginia to address reality. Democrats must look beyond the party power structure and address the state’s voters if there are to be real contests for the state’s top elective offices — governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general — this fall. Going into the party’s state convention June 7-8 in Richmond, there will be only four declared candidates for the three offices. Sen. L. Douglas Wilder of Richmond is the lone Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor and Del. Mary Sue Terry is unchallenged for the party’s attorney general nomination. Meanwhile, Lt. Gov. Richard J. Davis of Portsmouth and Attorney General Gerald L. Baliles of Richmond are vying for the top spot on the ticket. Barring unlikely drafts of alternative candidates at the state convention, Mr. Wilder and Miss Terry will have their nominations. They both are very capable leaders. But the facts that Mr. Wilder is black and Miss Terry is a woman will unfortunately affect their appeal among Virginia’s very conservative voters. That’s not to say they don’t deserve the nominations. They do. But, the Virginia Democrats, like their counterparts in last fall’s presidential election, must overcome the perceptions that the party is more liberal than the electorate and that it is beholden to special interests. If the Democrats are to meet those challenges to wage a real campaign against a solidly conservative Republican ticket, and if the voters are to benefit from a real debate in competitive races, the Democrats need a strong moderate-to-conservative candidate for governor. Mr. Baliles seems to be the party’s better hope for that role. Mr. Baliles has broad appeal among Virginia’s predominately independent voters. He has, at timgg HiWjjrppH npawlv with Gov. CharfeiS. Robb, a fellow Democrat, on points of law. He has demonstrated the courage to speak out for women’s choice on abortion — a stand which separates him from all other gubernatorial hopefuls this year and which places him in agreement with most Virginians, according to polls. Mr. Baliles has run the attorney general’s office without allowing partisan politics to dictate priority. His administrative and ethical records speak for themselves. On the other hand, Mr. Davis’ nomination would only add to the perception of a “liberal” Democratic ticket. He has the AFL-CIO’s endorsement — which, in fairness, Mr. Baliles also sought — a fact which wouldn’t endear Mr. Davis to most voters in this right-towork state. Mr. Davis is a fine man and a fine leader. Unfortunately, he represents — if only in the voter’s mind — a less moderate faction in Virginia politics. To ensure a good race this fall, Democrats in their local mass meetings March 30 and April 1 would be far more realistic in supporting pro-Baliles delegates.

I’ve been all over this nation of ours and I can say that I’ve only been in a couple of places with more roadside litter than Rappahannock County. Let’s face it, well never touch New York City for trash in the streets. But, this is a beautiful rural county and it’s discouraging to see the amount of trash on the roadside here. Any doubters should go look for themselves; check the westbound side of 211 just east of Old Hollow or the 622/211 intersection by the Covington River or for that matter anywhere people park to commute pr park to socialize and drink. Check any secondary road. Check around the dumpsters. It’s disgusting! OK. Granted, littering is a bad local habit and it does make a big mess, that is one thing; but, this is an area that relies heavily on tourism. It’s plain bad business for all the county residents who rely on the income produced by those mountain viewers and apple buyers. People aren’t going to want to stand on the Burger King wrappers and Budweiser cans and look at the views. This costs every retail outlet, every apple stand, every restaurant dollars and cents everytime somebody says “Let’s go to Leesburg, Middleburg or The Plains”. That means less money injected into the local economy, which means less grease in the gears of the local government. Which means we can’t afford to pay teachers a decent salary, or see more county improvements like the Emergency Service Dispatcher System which helps get the Sheriff or Fire Dept, to your house faster. Of course there are two ways to look at every problem and we could turn the local litter problem into an excellent financial asset for the county. Everybody knows there’s money in the trash business. Let’s levy some whopper fines on littering, hide the deputies in the bushes and wammo we’ll get some sucker for an easy five hundred bucks. If the trashee can’t, pay we’ll put him on a county trash patrol for five days and he can save himself $100 a day in fines. Why, imagine how much money it would be if we caught everyone out of twenty litterers. Look at the roadside and add it up. Why maybe we could expand the library, or the High School, or pay the commonwealths’ attorney a little something. There’s money to be made in those bushes and ditches! Why, maybe we’ll make so much that we can abolish county stickers and give the law even more time to devote to the “trash traps”. When was the last time you remember seeing a littering case listed in the General Court Cases? Doggone, maybe we could even afford an animal shelter. ERICKVARNES Washington Homogenized Holidays By EUGENE J, McCAKTHY Rappahannock Guest Columnist All Presidents’ Day caught me by surprise. I had not known that all separate President’s birthdays had been wiped out, homogenized, consolidated into one day of observance. Although I was vaguely aware that Lincoln’s birthday on February 12, had passed without much recognition. Then, what used to be singularly and particularly and personally George Washington’s birthday approached. I noted the announcements of “All Presidents’ Sales,” not only the traditional “white sale^',” which had been associated with George and Martha, who seemed to be heavy into sheets and pillowcases, (Possibly, if we accept some doubtful historical data, because George’s disposition to sleep in so many places) but of sales of all kinds of things-especially of automobiles. Armistice Day, I knew, had already been made non-historic and renamed “Veteran’s Day." I disapproved of that change, being of the opinion that the end of World War 1 deserved one day on the annual calendar, just as I think V.E. Day and V.J. Day also do. Memorial Dav easily could have been expanded in scope to include all veterans-the dead, the living, and those missing in action. Consolidations of these kinds were probably inevitable, certainly threatened, once the moving of days occurred in mid-week-to Monday or Friday so as to lengthen the weekend for either commercial or leisure purposes, was accepted. They may have been foreshadowed even earlier and in a more subtle way with the introduction of homogenized food products. One of the first such products was homogenized milk. Its cream content did not show in the neck of the bottle and could not be poured off for special use, but was reduced to being reported as a percent of butter fat not evident to the human eye. Homogenized peanut butter followed. One jar of pre-homogenized peanut butter provided at least three taste experiences. The first followed immediately after the jar was opened. At the top of the jar was a layer of oil to be mixed into the more solid contents. The mixing usually fell short of being thorough, and the peanut butter in those early days of use was somewrhat oily. In the second stage, the peanut butter Lasted much more like modern homogenized peanut btftter, but in the last stages of use, what was left in the jar took on a special character-dry and crunchy-somewhat like peanut butter candy bars or cookies. Consolidations may have bee;n encouraged some by religious practices. The more liturgical churches have long celebrated “All Saints’ Day," a catch-up observation designed to pick up those saints who had not been identified or canonized, and to pay attention to those recognized but who might not have received enough attention or honor. In a somewhat circumspect and careful action, the Church dedicates another day not to “All Popes,” but to “All Holy Popes.” Pearl Harbor Day could be rechristened as “Ship Attack Day," thus encompassing “Remembering the Maine,” the Lusitania, and possibly even the Tonkin Gulf “Incident.” Christmas could become simply “The Holiday,” and everyone’s birthday celebrated together on “All Birthdays’ Day,” say, January 1, the day on which all thoroughbred race horses are presumed, for some purpose, to have been born. —From Both Barrels —Bagley Eyes The Mansion By GEORGE BOWLES The 1985 elections for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general are still eight months in the future, but the early maneuvering for position in the race for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination four years hence is already getting under way. The earliest maneuverer is Del. Richard M. Bagley of Hampton. Last week Bagley stunned the state’s political community by announcing that he would not seek re-election to the House of Delegates this year. The move is seen as part of his strategy to capture the Governor’s Mansion in 1989. By declining to run, Bagley gives up one of the most powerful and prestigeous posts in the government of the Commonwealth, the chairmanship of the House Appropriations Committee. He was first elected to the House in 1966 and has served as Appropriations chairman since 1978. Bagley makes no secret of his ambitions to be governor and, indeed, for three years he actively sought the Democrats’ gubernatorial nod this year. However, when his polls made it clar that he was trailing both of the other hopefuls, Lt. Gov. Dick Davis and Attorney General Gerald Baliles, he bowed out of the ’85 contest. When he did so, however, he adopted the motto, “First in line for ’89.” Bagley also found that, powerful though the Appropriations chairmanship might be, it was a poor launching pad for a candidate seeking higher office. Bagley says his decision to retire from the House was not directly tied to his prospective campaign for the governorship, but to his intermediate goal of running for the chairmanship of the state Democratic party. That office comes up for election at the Democrats’ state convention in June. His governorship bid aside, Bagley says he regards the party chairmanship as a challenging task to which he will devote virtually his full time if he is elected. He acknowledges, however, that the move is related to his long-term objective. The incumbent chairman, Del. Alan Diamonstein of Newport News, is not expected to try for another term. Bagley says he is giving up his General Assembly seat for two reasons. First, he wants to demonstrate his seriousness about his bid to head the party and thus, by implication, his seriousness about his gubernatorial ambitions. And second, he believes holding both the chairmanship of Appropriations that of the party would pose a personal conflict for him. “I have always drawn a line around the Appropriations Committee,” he said, “and within that line I have neither permitted nor participated in partisan politics. The work of the committee is too important for that. On the other hand, the work of the Democratic Party chairman is totally partisan. I don’t see how I could have done both jobs and not have had one interfere with the other.” Solid reasons, both. But there are also other considerations which have no doubt occurred to Bagley. The first is that there will almost certainly be others beside himself who will be eyeing the gubernatorial nomination in 1989. In the elections now coming up, state Sen. Douglas Wilder of Richmond and Del. Mary Sue Terry of Stuart appear to have, respectively, the Democratic nominations for lieutenant governor and attorney general all but locked up. If either or both of them should win in November they might, with considerable justification, lay claim to being “first in line” for a shot at the governorship the next time around. This is particularly true if this year’s Democratic candidate for governor also wins. But even if there is a Democratic sweep this year, Bagley’s move neatly finesses what could be the top bugaboo of the next administration. That is the almost inescapable certainty that at some point during the next four years there will have to be a tax increase of some kind, and it could be of substantial proportions. As chairman of the Appropriations Committee it might have fallen Bagley’s lot to support the new governor in piloting the tax hike bill through the legislature. Similarly, as a part of that administration, either Wilder or Terrv could become, to a degree, bearers of the unwanted tax hike baggage. As party chairman, Bagley could put considerable distance between himself and that potentially troublesome problem. To be sure, there continues to be talk of a movement to draft Bagley for the lieutenant governor nomination this year, and some of the political tea leaf readers profess to see his decision to step down as, in some dark and mysterious way, associated with that movement. There is no evidence that this is the case, although Bagley has not positively slammed the door and locked it on the draft effort. No discussion of the Bagley move would be complete without mention of the ripple effect it will have on the House 01 Delegates’ committee structure. The next senior member of the Appropriations Committee is Del. L. Cleaves Manning of Portsmouth. If he wins reelection in November, he will become the new chairman. But no legislator can chair more than one standing committee, and Manning now heads the Committee on Counties, Cities and Towns. Presumably he would relinquish this chairmanship in order to assume the more prestigious Appropriations post. But as a strategic gambit impacting on state politics, Bagley’s move may be seen as an astute ploy, as well as a high stakes gamble, by a man of exceptional patience and determination. He has pursued his goal of the governor’s office for three years, and seems singlemindedly and cheerfully prepared to pursue it for four more or, for that matter, as long as may be necessary.

Loudoun A Step Deeper Than Rappahannock In Sludge Issue Opponents of sewage sludge use on farmland packed the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors meeting room on Monday night to make their views known at a public information meeting sponsored by the State Health Department. The department held the meeting, which state law requires, to inform the public about pending applications by Bio Gro Systems Inc. to spread sludge on approximately 3,000 acres of Loudoun farmland and by Recyc Systems Inc. to build a sludge holding lagoon near Hillsboro. Recyc proposes the lagoon on the farm of Donald T. Virts, where it already has state approval, but no county permit, to spread sludge it hauls from Piscataway Sewage Treatment Plant in Maryland. Members of the board of supervisors attended, but stressed their role as spectators, not decision-makers. “This is not a meeting of the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors, although it may look like it,” Chairman Frank Raflo said at the beginning. Board members also made "clear that while they have sanctioned use of sludge on farmland, through an ordinance adopted last year, they don’t feel any obligation to allow lagoons, which the zoning ordinance does not permit. “I don’t believe Loudoun County is ready for a lagoon,” said supervisor and farmer James F. Brownell, “not now or maybe ever.” Berryville hires manager Berryville’s part-time zoning administrator will become its full-time town manager April 1. R.

Day witm SEPTIC TANK MAINTENANCE If you are fortunate enough to have city water and sewer pipes reaching out to your property, you don’t have to worry about septic tank maintenance. However, over 2/3 of our population live in areas that DO have to worry about septic tanks. If you are one of them, you may ask: “If my septic system is working properly, is it still necessary to have it pumped?” The answer is a resounding YES. The time to pump it is before you have problems - not after. A properly working system traps the digesting solids in the septic tank so that only rather clean water drains off into the drain field, gradually plugging the pores in the soil under the drain field, and eventually, causing system failure. How often should it be pumped? It depends upon the size of the tank and usage, of course. Generally, once every 1 to 3 years is suggested. Even if septic systems do not apply to your present home, they may be a serious consideration if you decide to purchase a vacation or second home in the country, or even in the outskirts of a major city.

Hogan, age 39, has been with the county government since 1978. He became the town’s zoning administrator 10 months ago. Hogan was one of six applicants interviewed for the job. Two others also were from Clarke County, Berryville Mayor J.C. Huffman said. Owen is serving part-time as interim manager Until Hogan takes over. Citizens to fight moths Residents along the west face of the Blue Ridge mountains in Clarke County will be asked to join the war against gypsy moths in April. Clarke County Extension Agent Lance Kauf said he needs the help of homeowners in the Shenandoah Farms area to monitor the population of the moth, which devours hardwood tree leaves during its caterpillar stage. Successive defoliations can kill a tree. The gypsy moth is moving slowly southward from New England, and Clarke County saw some heavy intestation along the Blue Ridge last year. For at least this year, Clarke has ruled out the use of spraying to control the moths. Instead the extension office will release natural predators in an attempt to control the moths. Homeowners will be provided with burlap bags and will be asked to wrap them around trees. Caterpillars feed at night and crawl down the tree to seek shelter from the sun during the day. The caterpillars hide under the folded burlap and can be identified by their distinctive rows of red and blue spots. Information gathered from the residents will be used to determine when and if a spray program is necessary. Town seeks sewer help The Berryville Town Council has vowed to fight for state funds to help improve its ailing sewer system. Mayor J.C. Huffman has requested time to speak at a March 29 hearing conducted by the State Water Control Board. The town wants a $872,000 grant from the state. But Berryville ranks very low on the state’s appropriation list because it recently used state funds to help improve its water system. The grant would represent 55 percent of the cost of the improvements the town wants to make. The town will have to match that with $676,000. 23 apply for selection commission Twenty-three residents Fauquier County residents say they are willing to fill one of two new seats on the Fauquier School Board Selection Commission.

Judge Robertson said he will interview the applicants before he makes the two appointments later this month. Dognapping epidemic reported Fauquier County is in the throes of a dognapping epidemic, according to local animal welfare officials. Pet owners from across the county have reported the strange and mysterious disappearance of their animals, said Gail Muller, manager of the Fauquier Animal Shelter. She and Mary Warner, president of the non-profit organization, Action 81, that monitors dognapping throughout the country, believe these pets have been stolen and will wind up in research facilities and schools. Since December, Fauquier pet owners have reported the disappearance of 184 animals. Only 46 of those have been found and returned, Ms. Muller said. Signs of human involvement are rampant, Mrs. Warner said. In recent cases, dog collars have been cut, kennels and homes have been burglarized and fences have been broken. Thieves want large, healthy and docile animals, Mrs. Warner said. Large amounts of German shepherds, labrador retrievers, Irish setters, huskies and collies have been taken, she said. Racing in Upperville Saturday The 1985 Virginia point-to-point circuit reaches its midway point Saturday with the Piedmont Fox Hounds meet at Mrs. T.A. Randoph’s Salem Farm in Upperville. Feature race of the day will be the final race on the eight race card, the Rokeby Bowl. When entries closed Monday, six horses were listed to contest this Simile timber race. Heading the field are Hamilton resident Dr. Joseph M. Rogers’ two Virginia Gold Cup winners, Private Gary (1983) and Constantine (1984). Paul B. Cramer Jr.’s Cookin ’N Lookin heads a field of nine for the owner-rider timber race. The retired commercial airline pilot from Marshallhas won all three times he has raced this season. The ladies timber follows the owner-rider race and with 10 entries this should be an exciting race. Patti Cassel of Waterford has entered her two-time winner Splashy Lea who will most likely have a tough race against Juliet Graham on Randy Waterman’s Vulgan’s Heir, winner of the open timber race at Blue Ridge. Admission to the races, which begin at 1:30 p.m. is free to the public. Manslaughter charge reduced A Maryland trucker originally charged with involuntary manslaughter was found guilty of improper driving Monday in Fauquier General District Court and fined $100. Ivan Ronald Demay, 34, of Glenn Bumie, Md., allegedly lost control of his truck Jan. 31 on Route 50, hit a parked car and killed Howard M. Ballenger Jr., 68, of Upperville. Commonwealth’s Attorney Charles Foley amended the charge to reckless driving because Demay was not “grossly, grossly negligent” — which he needed to prove to convict the driver of manslaughter. Demay pleaded not guilty to reckless driving, which is gross negligence, but the judge found him guilty of improper driving which is ordinary negligence. Truck ban up for review Will the ban against large trucks on Route 17 between Warrenton r id Marshall and on Route 15 between Haymarket and Buckland be lifted or won’t it? Only Highway Commissioner Harold C. King knows for sure — and he’s not talking. At least he’s not talking until 10 a.m. Thursday when the Highway Commission meets to discuss the ban on the 10.35-mile stretch of narrow, winding highway. “In order to protect the lives of the traveling public,” Commissioner King announced Nov. 15 large trucks would be prohibited from the two-lane highway from Nov. 19 to Feb. 17. He extended the ban in January to April 3 to give highway officials time to complete and analyze traffic and accident studies. A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit against the highway department brought by nine Fauquier County truckers and farmers because he realized the ban was a temporary solution, said an assistant attorney general. The farmers said the ban is an economic hardship. Drug ‘kingpins make last deal, plead guilty Drug “kingpins” Christopher F. Reckmeyer and Robert B. Reckmeyer changed their original not guilty pleas last week to guilty after the brothers struck deals with the government to forego trials scheduled to begin Monday. The pair will accept prison sentences of 10 to 20 years, without parole. The remaining 13 drug ring members who were apprehended also changed their pleas to guilty after 30year-old Robert Reckmeyer of Centre ville agreed last Wednesday to tesuiy about anyone’s involvement — including his brother Christopher, who lived at Shelburne Glebe south of Leesburg. In exchange for Robert Reckmeyer’s promised testimony, government prosecutors offered him a shorter prison sentence. If he had gone to trial and been found guilty of conducting a continuing criminal enterprise, the socalled “kingpin” statute, he faced life imprisonment without possibility of parole. Durrette, Parris forces at odds over delegates The local campaigns of the two Republican gubernatorial candidates were at odds this week over who won Friday night’s GOP mass meeting in Leesburg. The disagreement has been common in many areas of the state as the two candidates, former state legislator Wyatt B. Durrette Jr. and 8th District U.S. Rep. Stan Parris, look for support from delegates who will go to the State Republican Convention in Norfolk May 31-Junel. Local Durrette supporters contended Monday that their man got 101 of the 186 Loudoun delegates elected, and they even released a list of the people whom they say are committed to Durrette. “I said it before the mass meeting and I’m saying it after the mass meeting. We have two delegates to their every one,” said E. Kendall Stock, one of two Durrette coordinators in the county. “That’s just ridiculous,” said Wes Corber, the Parris campaign’s coordinator in Loudoun, when told Monday of the Durrette campaign’s claim of a twoto-one lead. The Durrette campaign said it conducted a phone poll of the Loudoun delegates and found that 101 back Durrette, 56 support Parris and 29 are undecided — roughly a 2-to-l edge for Durrette, they contend. But Corber said Monday that “we are certain from our telephone polling that they don’t have 101 votes.” 559.91 *45.49 GENTEEL II 8162PB Cbltaned brass 529.99 -for -the bathroom v.

The Homemaker’s Corner By BIRGITT THORNHILL Extension Afent At this time of the year consumers are searching for ways to cut corners and save money Most homemakers immediately think of couponing and refunding. The following was prepared by Glen H. Mitchell, Extension Specialist. “Three for one;” “Buy one, get one free;” “25 cents off;” “Double coupons today.” Every week the supermarket shopper encounters such offers in newspapers, magazines, special mailings and on product wrappers and boxes. In 1983 shoppers redeemed 5.56 billion coupons worth almost $1.7 billion. The average face value of these coupons was 30.5 cents each. Although the number and value of coupons may seem like a tremendous amount, actually only about four percent of coupons are cashed by shoppers. Participating in couponing and refunding may initially require much time and effort. For some individuals, these activities have become a major aspect of their lives with involvement in refund newsletters, swap parties and other related activities. For those who do not have the time for clipping, filing and trading, couponing and refunding may not be a feasible method for saving on the grocery bill. Shoppers with considerable time limitations may not be able to spend the time at the checkout counter for redeeming coupons also. Other considerations are that coupons are mostly for processed items (coffee, cereals, flour, etc.) which are only about ten percent of the food budget. Most other savings are on household cleaning products and health and beauty aids. Many times the price of a national brand with the coupon is equal to the price of the store or generic brands. Manufacturers are less competitive today and offer fewer promotional advantages originally associated with couponing. Many coupons have unclear or obscure terms which may cause problems in determining the expiration date and purchase requirements. If you have to spend a 20 cent stamp plus your time to get a 25 cent refund, it may be counterproductive. A consumer may also buy a size, brand or item that is not wanted or is not lower than a competitive brand. For anyone who has weighed the positive and negative aspects of couponing and refunding and is willing and able to spend the time and effort, these activities can be rewarding. Stories abound about shoppers who have reduced their grocery bill by as much at 40-60 percent each week through couponing. Many also combine refunding with couponing to gain additional savings which are nontaxable. These “super shoppers” use a variety* of strategies to accomplish their goal of spending less at the checkout counter. Contact your local home economics extension agent for more information on coupon exchange clubs and other relevant food buying helps.

Rappahannock Journal •Farm •Business •Garden •Rural Life Raising Quail By MANFRED CALL Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Through experience I have found that raising quail can be fun and tedious. There are many processes and problems that I can help you with in your new adventure. I will tell you of the problems that I had and the solutions I developed. To get started you must first decide the number of eggs you wish to hatch and secure and incubate. Twenty percent of my eggs did not hatch, so I would advise you to order a few more eggs to cover the difference. As for ordering the eggs, mine came mailorder from an advertisement I found in a Field and Stream magazine, and the incubator was purchased at the local feed store. Once you have these items, you will be ready to start incubating the eggs. The first thing you should do is to warm the incubator to one hundred and one degrees farenheit. Next, with a pencil, mark an x on one side of each egg. The x mark will enable you to keep track of which side is up when rolling the eggs. Now place the eggs in the incubator making sure all the sides that are marked are facing upward. Finally, close the incubator and regulate the temperature so that it maintains a constant temperature of one hundred and one degrees. For the next twentythree days, the number of days required for quail eggs to hatch, you must roll the eggs from side to side to prevent the embryo from adhering to the inside of the shell. They must be rolled over once in the morning and once in the afternoon. In addition, follow the manufacturer’s directions for maintaining humidity within the incubator. On the tw’enty-third day after starting incubation, you should hear Faronu UPBTOd acBuii INCORPORATED Regular Sales Every Tues. HORSE SALE 2nd Sat., 1 p.m.. Every Month STATE GRADE FAT CATTLE 1 st Tues., 1 p.m. Every Month 1 Mils East of Marshall Rt.55 364-1566 small chirps coming from inside the eggs. This is the first sign of the hatching process. Within twenty-four hours most of the eggs will have hatched. Allow the baby chicks to remain in the incubator until they are torally dry because baby quail can catch cold and die very easily. After you are sure that they are dry and no more eggs will hatch, you can transfer the quail over to a ninetyfive degree heated box (a brooder works well for this). By now these little quail will need something to eat. The food you supply should contain a high nutritional content, and by adding a vitamin supplement to the water, you should cover all the nutritional needs of the baby chicks. When watering, I found that the chicks frequently drowned in my watering trays because of their tiny size. To solve this problem I filled the trays with gravel which prevented the birds from falling in when they drank. One other major problem I experienced was cannibalism. I lost over half of my quail because they would eat each other’s feet. After checking into it, I found that the use of a colored light would stop these cannibalistic behavii rs. The reason for this is that once a chick has a noticeable spot of blood on him, it gives the others a spot to peck at, therefore, colored lights will help hide the spot. Once your quail have grown all their feathers, a process that takes several weeks, you can start reducing the temperature five degrees every three to five days. Slowly taking the temperature down helps the birds to adapt to life outside the brooder. Now that they are off artificial heat, you can turn the chicks loose in a predator proof cage. Avoid using cages that are too small to accomodate the population of your hatch to ensure maximum survival rate. These quail will be fully grown in a couple of weeks after introducing them to the outside enviro&paent. As for me, the mortality rate for my quail was high, and those that lived escaped from my cage. Knowing what I now know, I intend to try and raise a few more quail to release into the wild.

The following items are regulated: trees, woody shrubs, logs, pulpwood, firewood, mobile homes, cut Christmas trees, recreational vehicles and equipment from hazardous sites. Regulated articles may be moved from the regulated area when it is determined they have not been exposed to infestation, have been examined and found to be free of the moth, when the article has been treated by an approved method to destroy the moth or the articles have been grown, stored, etc. in such a manner that in the judgement of the inspector it will not transmit the gypsy moth. If one or more of these requirements are met, a certificate may be issued that allows for movement from regulated areas. Persons who plan to move regulated articles should request an inspec tion from VDACS as soon as possible. Articles should be placed in a location and arranged in a manner to facilitate inspection. Presently the following counties are in quarantine: Arlington, Clarke, Culpeper, Fairfax, Fauquier, Frederick, Loudoun, Page, Prince William, Rappahannock, Stafford, Warren, and part of Madison County. Rappahannock County will be involved in a banding program this spring that will help identify exactly where we stand in the way of infestation. If eradication measures are needed in the future, the data we collect now will help with more in-depth costshare programs. I must emphasize the bands will not eradicate the moth. They are a tool to get counts on infestations in different areas of the county. The bands will be distributed to the citizens of Rappahannock the end of April. Watch the newspaper for place and dates. ‘Wheels For Life’ Bike-a-thon Rappahannock County Bike-athon chairman, the Rev. Steven N. Scoggin, urges Rappahannock residents to join the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital “Wheels For Life” Bike-a-thon slated for April 27 at Washington. Rev. Scoggin said this ride honors Jaime, a leukemia patient at St. Jude. “With every turn of the wheel, riders become “spokes” persons for all the kids with cancer, like Jaime, who want to know they aren’t in this battle alone.” Rev. Scoggin said, “People willing to give time to create more time to children crying for help stimulates a better event and raises more money for the hospital. Riders are really needed. They make or break a Bike-a-thon.” Sponsors donating a sum for each mile completed are enlisted by riders. Those who raise $25 receive a St. Jude t-shirt. When $75 is raised, the rider receives a barrel tote bag and a t-shirt. Pick up sponsor forms at the Washington Baptist Church. “The general plan is to have a good time while helping a wonderful group of children counting on our support,” added Chairman Scoggin. Contact Rev. Scoggin at 675-3336 or 675-3833 for details on riding or sponsoring a rider. School Menus R.C.E.S.

Miller does not take all of the credit for his cattle’s consistent success, however. “It may be my name on the award, but all three of my sons are involved with the cattle and they probably have more influence than I do,” Miller said. “It’s really a family affair, and the boys have been instrumental in the development of the herd.” The seedstock award was given to Miller because he was judged to be the best producer of cattle for breeding purposes for all pure-bred breeds in Virginia. He is Virginia’s nomination for the national award that will be given in May. Miller began raising Angus cattle in 1959, and he won the first bull performance test he entered in 1975. “Bulls are gathered together for performance tests to see which one grows the best in 140 days,” Miller said. In 1980, Miller had the fifth and thirteenth place bulls in the national performance test in Billings, Montana. “That was thought to be the best performance test in the world, and we made a good showing even though we had to haul the bulls there in a truck,” Miller said. The Millers’ bulls were ranked first, second, third, fourth and sixth at the Culpeper Junior B.C.I.A. test and sale in 1984, and they were first, second, third and fourth at the Staunton B.C.I.A. bull sale. Two of Miller’s sons, Jay and Brook, were the collegiate national champions in the beef cattle judging contest held at Virginia Tech. The remaining son, Hodge, won the showmanship award at the Little International Livestock Show at Virginia Tech. “Our good cows had good bull calves that year,” Miller said. Miller points out that there are many factors involved in determining a bull’s or cow’s worth. “It takes about three seasons to be able to tell if a bull’s calves are what they should be,” Miller said. “They have to be good to make us want to perpetuate the line. I’ve been working with this herd ever since 1959, and still unexpected things can pop up.” Every pure-bred breeder has a percentage of his cattle that turn out to be commercial cattle, or cattle for beef. “I have two or three bulls each year that are used by Virginia pure-bred breeders, a middle percentage of the cattle are used for commercial breeders and the bottom 10 to 15 percent go to beef,” Miller said. Miller’s main herd has been sired by the bull Hungry Jack. “He is one of the top-ranked Angus bulls in the U.S. on performance,” Miller said. Miller also bought a new bull this year that won the Denver Livestock Show in his class. “He has excellent potential for performance,” Miller said. The new bull’s first calves have been born, so Miller can begin to determine just how much of an asset he will be. Miller knows a lot about the calves by just looking at them, and he is visibly proud of the new additions to the herd. Miller admits that cattle raising is a gamble in many ways, but the rewards outweigh the problems for him. “Just look at that cow,” Miller said. “Now she’s a pretty thing.” Building? • Paint • Lumber • Millwork • Hardware ** •vr'\ Complete One-Step BUILDING SUPPLY Warrenton Building Material Co., Inc. on the By-Pass, Warrenton __ 347-1400 NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING In accordance with Section 33.1-70-01 of the Code of Virginia, the Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County will hold a public hearing to consider the Secondary Improvement Program for FY 1985-86 to be held at the regular meeting of the Board of Supervisors on April 1, 1985 at 10:00 o’clock A.M. at the Rappahannock County Courthouse, Washington, Virginia.

A Column For Outdoors Enthusiasts In this, my first newspaper column, I hope to open the lines of communication between myself and you, the reader. It is my goal to cover the topics that are of interest to you, because without your readership my purpose is, at best, questionable. Who am I? Well now, let’s see. I am 43 years old, married 18 years and I have two boys, ages 13 and 8. I am the committee chairman for Boy Scout Troop 1187 of Goldvein, an archery coach for the 4-H Fauquier Shooting Sports Club, an NRA certified shotgun instructor and an avid, almost addicted, outdoorsman. My interests include archery, canoeing, backpacking, fishing, hunting, camping, cooking, conservation, wildlife, travel, photography and kids. But my real love is bowrhunting. I have bowhunted and fished over most of the U.S. and Canada, with more than 50 animals taken with the bow, including whitetail deer in Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Maryland, mule deer in Colorado and Wyoming, elk in Colorado and Wyom mg, DiacK Dear in Virginia, west Virginia and Canada and turkeys, coyotes and numerous small game. Not every trip I have taken resulted in game tags being filled, but almost every trip was a success, in one way or another. Time spent in the outdoors surely can’t be subtracted from the. time we have on this old world. My most recent trip was just a week ago. My wife and I traveled to beautiful downtown Blackstone, Va. Actually, it was downtown Camp Pickett. We were in training for further 4H activities, expressly to become better at teaching young people to shoot a shotgun. The weekend started on Friday evening at 7 p.m. when about 40 dedicated 4-Hers started a really busy Bob McMeeuxs 439-8364 Outdoors schedule of 20 hours of instruction and four hours of shooting on the range. Friday evening was basically an introduction to all of the shooting sports, archery, rifle and shotgun. Chief instructor, Bill Christy of Blacksburg is employed by Virginia Tech. As a fulltime professional 4-Her, he travels all across the country training volunteer leaders to work more effectively with our kids. Bill makes every effort to communicate his dedication to all his students, and his love of kids. After a marathon session Friday, lasting well past 11 p.m., we all found it a little hard to roll out at 6 a.m. Saturday. Well-fed and at least five gallons of coffee later, we convened in class at 8 a.m. for the real meat of shotgunning. Bill and his staff really know how to teach and after lunch and copious quantities of coffee, we were to find out just how much we had retained. We used the coach-student method, whereby one of us tried to teach the other howr to shoot the shotgun. Boy, talk about the blind leading the blind!

RAPPAHANNOCK FARMERS CO-OP Sperryville, Va. 987-8555 weekend, “We endeavored to persevere” and, lo and behold, we did it. We each had an opportunity to critique one another and before long we were allowed to load and shoot clay targets. For those of you who have never shot a shotgun or, heaven forbid, a rifle or bow at a clay target, let me explain. A clay target, also Called a clay pigeon, is a domed disc 4.25 inches in diameter and 1.1 inches in profile. It is composed of a clay-like substance bonded together with pitch. Flying from a trap (a device to drive shooters crazy) in Frisbee fashion, a clay target reaches a speed of approximately 80 mph, but seems much faster. At a rising clay target, departing at 80 mph, a shooter must first mount his gun (bring it to the shoulder), calculate the angle of interception (guess where to point the gun), acquire a lead and pull the trigger. Sounds easy, right? If my math is correct, you must do all this within .385 seconds to avoid shooting a hole in empty space as that sucker is gone. However, with a lot of help from the 4-H staff, most of us managed to hit at least one of the elusive clay targets, and everyone seemed to have a lot of und. Throughout the whole training session, SAFETY was and is the key ingredient. Organized shooting sports is still one of the safest of all sporting activities. Alter our ratner unspectacular eifort on the range Saturday, it was decided that a little friendly competition was in order for later that night, after everyone was good and tired. So after another marathon session lasting until almost 10 p.m. we had an opportunity to try our hand at 10 meter air rifle and air pistol, plus a mean little event called the running boar. We teamed up in units, representing our home counties, and fired away. Sunday morning started much the same as Saturday, except that everyone was more tired than the day before. Sunday was a recap of the weekend with an opportunity to discuss what our units were involved with at home. Here in Fauquier County we are blessed with some really great kids, and have built a shooting program around what the kids wanted. In addition to what the kids wanted, the Virginia Game and Fish Commission has come up with a terrific competition, the first annual Hunter Education Championship. Composed of five events: shooting the bow and arrow, small bore rifle, shotgun, map and compass course and a written test on ethics, law and wildlife identification, etc. The Virginia Championship will be held on May 4, at the Izaak Walton League Park in Midlothian. Our 4-H Fauquier Shooting Sports Club will send two teams of four or five competitors each. We believe that they possess the skill and discipline to fairly take on the whole state and maybe go on to represent Virginia in the National Hunter Education Championship in Chestertown, Md., in July. Our 4-H weekend concluded with fond farewells, a lot of new friends, even a little newly acquired skill with a shotgun. As I said in opening this column, this is just as much your column as it is mine. So please let me know what you want and 111 do my best to give it to you. Also, if you have an upcoming event and want everyone to know all about it, let me know and we’ll tell the world about it. If you catch a good fish or stringer of fish let me know, or a spectacular buck or whatever your particular sport is, if you are doing it, chances are that someone wants to know all about it. . . and I am certain that J do!

Tax planning key to success By DONALD DEL ROSSO Democrat Staff Writer Q. Earl Yancey is of that rare breed of specialists in the accounting field who can accommodate the needs of the average taxpayers. “I basically serve anyone,” said Mr. Yancey, who opened his Warrenton office Feb. 4. “I’ve done everything from the short form to the most complicated return . . .I’ve never turned anybody away.” However, he said his business will concentrate on two areas: Tax planning and auditing. The purpose of planning is to set a goal and to achieve it, said Mr. Yancey, a Culpeper resident. “Basically, what happens with so many small businesses is that they grow too fast, or they have no procedure for controlling that growth or knowing how well they’re doing,” he said. Steady cash flow, for example, doesn’t necessarily mean a business is in good financial health, Mr. Yancey said. “Planning is the key to success or failure,” he said. But planning of this sort not only addresses the immediate business concerns a merchant might have, it also provides for a college fund for one’s ^children, a retirement plan and contingencies in the event the business owner dies or becomes disabled, he said . To develop that aspect of his business, Mr. Yancey bought the syndication rights to a financial planning system designed by the Kansas ac Democrat Staff Photo/Don Del Ros»o Accountant Q. Earl Yancey will pursue auditing contracts counting firm of Mayer, Hoffman and McCann. The method is presented as a videotaped seminar that “shows prospective clients what financial planning can do for you,” he said. Mr. Yancey also said he will be aggressively pursuing, auditing contracts, principally those bid by the state and federal governments. A 34-year-old graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University, Mr. Yancey said he decided to open his office in Warrenton because of “its proximity to Washington” and because “I already have a client base in the area.” His firm is located in the SPR Building on Main Street in Warrenton. He employs two staff accountants. When You Want Fast \ Action...

Pruning Enhances Shrub Growth Shrubs should be carefully selected at planting time to ensure their mature size and form is appropriate for the intended landscape effect. If that is done, they may be maintained in an attractive condition with a minimum of correcitve and renewal pruning. Regular pruning should be practiced to maintain the natural shape of the shrub or to develop a desired special form such as a clipped hedge or topiary specimen. The pruning must also promote the production of flowers and fruit when these are important features of the plant. Pruning Tools The pruning of shrubs requires a limited number of easily acquired tools. Hand shears are useful for removing or heading-back small branches up to one half inch in diameter. Lopping shears with handles about two feet long are used for stems up to about one inch in diameter. Hedge shears are needed if shrubs are to be pruned to a smooth form. A crescent-shape pruning saw is ideal for cutting branches larger than one inch in diameter, and for removing the large stems of multiple stem shrubs. Pruning Techniques During the first year or two after planting, only light pruning is needed to remove damaged branches and head back any which become excessivley PUBLIC NOTl§E~Effective immediately, any person or persons applying%r a building permit for new construction shall be required to comply with the following before a building permit will be granted.

As the shrub matures, it must De thinned out to allow light penetration and headed back to maintain acceptable size and informal shape. In all cases dead, broken, diseased or insect-damaged branches should be removed. Pruning cuts to thin out the shrub should be made close to the main stem from which the side branch is being removed. A close cut will heal rapidly. Stubs should not be left because they are unsightly and serve as a place for rot to develop. When old stems are removed from multiple stem shrubs, they should be cut as close to the crown of the plant as possible. When branches are headed back, the cut should be made just above a bud or side shoot. This will allow the plant to continue growth from the location of the cut and not leave a bare unsightly exposed stem. When to Prune Light corrective pruning to maintain an attractive shape may be done at any season of the year. Also, a few stems may be cut whenever they are desired for arrangements in the home. The major pruning operation, which is designed to thin out the shrub, or renew the flowering wood, should be done as described below, at an appropriate time for the type of plant and the season of blooming. Shrubs for Foliage Shrubs grown primarily for their foliage should be pruned in late winter or very early spring before growth starts. That will reduce the possibility of winter injury. Pruning is a devitalizing process, and if a severe drop in temperature occurs soon after it is done, the plant may be damaged or killed. Narrow leaf evergreens, and plants like privet which make rapid growth early in the season, may receive a second pruning in early summer to maintain a desirable shape during the growing season. Spring Flowering Shrubs Shrubs which bloom in the spring, or early summer before the end of June, should be pruned as soon as the blooming season is over. Such shrubs form flower buds on shoots during late summer of the previous year. The pruning should be done after they bloom to secure a maximum beauty and allow vigorous growth during the summer to provide flower buds for the next year. The spring flowering shrubs listed below should be pruned immediately after the blooming season. Cercis chinensis — Chinese redbud Chaenomeles japonica — J apanese quince Chionanthus virginicus — Fringetree Deutzia spp — Spring flowering deutzias Exochorda racemosa —Pearlbush Forsythia spp — All forsythia species Kerria japonica — Kerria Lonicera spp — Honeysuckle species Magnolia stellata — Star magnolia Philadelphus spp — Mock-orangt species Pieris spp — Andromeda species Rhododendron spp — Azaleas and rhododendrons Rosa spp — Rambling rose species Spiraea spp — Early white spirea species Syringa spp — Lilac species Tamarix paviflora — Small flow ered tamarix Viburnum spp — Viburnum species Weigela florida r— Old fashioned weigela Summer, autumn flowering ^irubs Shrubs which bloom after June usually do so from buds which are formed on shoots which grow during the spring and early summer of the s&me season. Such shrubs should be pruned in late winter to promote early season shoot growth. Buds will form on the new stems and produce attractive flowers during the summer or fall. The summer flowering shrubs listed below should be pruned in late winter or early spring before growth starts. Abelia x grandiflora — Glossy abelia Buddleia davidii, or globosa — Butterfly bush Callicarpa japonica — Japanese beauty bush Caryoperis x clandonensis — Bluebeard Clethra alnifolia — Summersweet Hibiscus syriacus — Shrub althea Hydrangea arborescens — Hills of Snow Hydrangea paniculata — Peegee Hypericum spp — St.Johnswort Lagerstroemia indica — Crepe myrtle Rosa spp — Bush roses Spiraea bumalda — Anthony Waterer Spiraea japonica — Mikado Symphoricarpos — Coralberry & Snowberry Tamarix hispida — Kashgar Tamarix odessana — Odessa Vitex agnus-castus — Chaste tree Pruning specific shrubs The first operation in pruning is to remove dead, broken, diseased or insect damaged branches. The plant should then be thinned out, headed back or sheared, depending on the type of shrub and its location and use in the landscape. Shrubs which develop numerous stems are pruned by a continuous renewal process. During the first few years after planting only light heading back and thinning out is needed. After the shrub reaches mature size, several of the oldest stems should be removed each year, and vigorous young shoots should be retained to provide stems for renewal. Remove weak, prostrate and broken or damaged stems. The remaining branches should be headed back and thinned out as needed to develop the desired form and size. The thinning out /should be sufficient to allow light to reach the young shoots which develop from the crown of the plant. Multiple stem shrubs which have been neglected and have become quite dense may be cut down to short stubs for renewal. This results in a rather unattractive appearance for a year or more, but may be satisfactory procedure if the shrub is of a desirable species and is in an appropriate location. Shrubs which have a dense bushy type of growth with only one, or a limited number of main stems, are pruned by thinning out and heading back the side branches. Remove a few branches each year to thin ou the top of the plant and allow light to penetrate. Cut back long branches to maintain an informal natural shape, and size which is suitable for the location. Box shrubs Box shrubs should be pruned by thinning out the top of the plant and cutting back the branches to retain the desired height. The thinning operation will allow light to penetrate into the bush and promote leaf growth. This results in a natural, informal type growth with good green color extending to the center of the shrub. In certain locations, and in hedges, you may prefer to shear your boxinto a smooth, rounded form. This is appropriate in a formal landscape setting but will result in a rather thin layer of leaves on the outside of the plant. Horizontal type Juniper The low and horizontal type junipers should be pruned primarily from th top. Branches which extend upward should be cut back. Allow the lateral branches to develop into points around the plant to give a graceful spreading form. Very little lateral pruning should be done unless the long branches cause the shrub to become too large for its location. Hedges Hedge plants may be allowed to develop as an informal row of shrubs planted close together. The branches of such plants should be thinned out as needed to promote new growth from inside the shrub. Long branches should be headed back to maintain the desired height. A clipped hedge must receive regular shearing to develop a smooth geometric form. During the first year or two the top should be cut back and thinned out to encourage the growth of low branches. Roses Bush roses should be pruned each spring just before growth starts. Cut dead and damaged canes back to living ■tissue, just above a strong bud. The total height of the bush should be reduced by cutting the canes back to onehalf or two-thirds their original length. This will result in the production of a good crop of medium to large flowers.' If long stemmed, exhibition type roses are desired, the canes may be cut back one-fourth to one-third their original length. . Tree roses require heavy pruning during the spring, and some thinning out and heading back during the growing season to pr vent the top from becoming too large for the trunk. After dead and damaged wood is removed, the remaining canes should be cut back to about 10 inches long. Climbing roses of the rambler type are pruned lightly in the spring to remove dead and weak canes. After the June blooming season is over, shorten the long canes to encourage new growth of laterals on which next year’s flowers will be borne. Climbing roses of the large flowered, e verblooming type are pruned in early spring before growth starts. Remove dead and damaged wood, and cut live canes back moderately to retain the desired size for the fence or trellis upon which it is growing. DENTURES .WORTH SMILING ABOUT*.

r oxes Thrive In Virginia Hunt Country oy ^L,iVft,CAKINIK Democrat Staff Writer Despite threats to its existence, the fox — without which there would be no pink coats or hunt balls — appears to be holding its own in the Hunt Country of Virginia. The fox is not threatened or endangered at all,” says Rick Loving, a state game warden in Fauquier County. “It’s thriving in the county. ” Foxes also appear to be thriving in Loudoun, Clarke and Rappahannock counties, according to game wardens there. The habitat and living conditions throughout the region are ideal for foxes. “Having all this pasture in Fauquier there is excellent feeding for foxes,” Mr. Loving says. “The many old stone walls also provide great places for dens.” The fox is an omnivorous anima. — it eats whatever is available. Its diet includes corn, berries, apples, acorns and grasses as well as small animals such as mice, rabbits, squirrels and woodchucks. It also eats grasshoppers, crickets, caterpillars, beetles and crayfish. All are abundant in the Hunt Country. Foxhunt clubs are not the fox’s main enemy. Many clubs actually help the fox by providing feed and shelter for it. Trappers and disease are the biggest threats. Diseases usually only strike when there is an excessive fox population and inadequate food. Trappers and hunters, however, are a constant threat. It is illegal for anyone, except at the request of landowners, to kill foxes in Fauquier, Clarke, Loudoun and Rappahannock counties. However, the value of the fox’s pelt, or fur, has encouraged some trappers to ignore the law. “Foxes really catch heck with trappers,” says Michael Power, huntsman for the Warrenton Hunt. “Trapping is a bad problem. A lot get shot in deer season, too.” The trapping problem in Fauquier, Loudoun and Clarke counties has been reduced somewhat by a law, passed just last year, that prohibits trappers from setting traps within 50 feet of a road. This law greatly reduced the accessible area for trappers and helped weed out many casual trappers. “Trappers were doing us in,” says Albert Poe, huntsman for the Orange County Hunt of The Plains. “The law change really helped,save a lot of foxes. “It used to be that people could just drive along and check their traps without even getting out of their vehicles. I heard of one trapper who had a 70-mile trap line. We used to find snares around the kennels too.” The value of fox pelts has also gone down radically in the last three years, helping to further reduce the number of trappers, according to game wardens. Fox pelts now bring about $20, compared to the $60 or more they brought a few years ago. During the deer hunting season, which also overlaps the foxhunting season, many foxes fall prey to trigger-happy hunters. Sometimes the dead foxes are left where they fall to be discovered later by members of the hunt. “I know we lose some (foxes) to hunters,” says Oliver Brown, huntsman for the Rappahannock Hunt. “I think its more than we want to believe.” Foxes in some areas have problems in addition to the threat from trappers and hunters. “One of our problems has been with stray and wild dogs running lose,” says James Atkins, huntsman of the Old Dominion Hunt. “They keep the foxes thinned out in our territory.” • But, despite the problems, the fox seems to be thriving. This year game wardens and huntsmen report that fox popula tions appear very strong. Some huntsmen go so far as to say this season has been one of the best they remember. For hunt clubs the fox provides the excitement of the chase, but few foxes are ever killed during these hunts. “We'd rather protect the fox than kill it,” says Mr. Poe. “Killing is not our game. The more you take care of the fox, the more foxes you have. We even put food out for our foxes. We don’t kill many, only about two or three a year.” Many of the foxes that are killed by hounds are inferior animals weakened by disease or injury. Most healthy foxes are quite capable of fending for themselves against foxhounds. “You don’t really catch a red fox,” says Mr. Atkins. “If it knows what it’s doing there’s no hound ’round here that can catch one. The only way you catch one is if it makes a mistake, or if it’s turned around by a car or something. ” Sometimes it even seems like the fox enjoys the thrill and dangers of being chased by a pack of hounds. “Foxes love to run,” says Warrenton’s Mr. Power. “I’ve seen a fox being chased by the hounds run by its den two or three times when it could easily go in.” The fox, not an endangered species.

On The Bypass Select A Pro For Remodeling Jobs Finding a qualified, professional remodeling contractor need not be a difficult or unpleasant task. By following these basic guidelines, you will not only make the selection process easier, you will be more prepared to make the best selection for your needs. • 1. Employ a contractor with an established business in your local area. Local firms can be checked through past customers. They are taxpaying members of your community and are compelled to perform satisfactory work for local homeowners in order for their business to survive. • 2. Look for your local member of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI). With all of the recent changes in materials and techniques, NARI membership is the best way for a remodeling contractor to keep up-to-date and informed through publications, seminars, and an annual trade show of professional remodeling products. In addition, members of NARI pledge to adhere to a stringent code of ethics, which calls for the professionalism and integrity of the remodeling contractor. • 3. Check the remodeling contractor with the Better Business Bureau to see if there is an adverse file or record. (The nearest BBB office is in Fall Church, telephone number: 533-1900.) • 4. Ask for local references and follow up on them. Call the references; ask if they were satisfied with all aspects of the contractor’s performance. Go out and look at finished projects. • 5. Solicit two or three bids for the work you need and do not blindly accept the lowest. Ask a contractor why the bid is so low or so high. Sometimes a higher price may be worth it. Have a thorough understanding of the quality of materials and the worksmanship required. • 6. Get everything in writing, including what the contractor will and won’t do — such as daily clean-up or clean-up upon completion of the job. • 7. Think carefully before you sign a contract. Do you understand everything? Are you getting what you really want? Are you paying a fair price? Read the contract again. If it isn’t written in the contract, you probably won’t get it. Know all the facts before you spend your hard-earned money. The NARI professional The National Association of the Remodeling Industi-y 1s a national trade professional remodeling industry. Representing professional remodeling contractors, product manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, lenders, utilities and publishers, NARI stands as the spokesgroup of the industry and an ally to the nation’s homeowners. The professional remodeling contractor who is a member of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry has ready access to the latest information in the field — new techniques, new products and materials. The NARI remodeling contractor upholds the association’s Code of Ethics and is dedicated to the professionalism and integrity of the remodeling industry. When you decide to remodel, look for the NARI logo and contact your local NARI contractor. It’s the mark of a professional. Proper planning important Your home represents a large investment, and its proper care and maintenance is essential. Also important is the fact that your home must suit your present needs as well as your lifestyle. Just because you may need an additional bedroom, a more modem kitchen or a refurbished bath is no reason to uproot your family and move. You can remodel. By carefully planning home improvements, you can update your home, increase the value of your investment and customize your living space — all for a lot less than the cost of a new house. But proper planning is vital. Look over your property carefully. What repairs are needed? What improvements would you like? Think ahead and determine your future needs. Professional remodeling contractors can help you in your planning by outlining options and discussing the improvements you can make within your budget. In addition, this checklist will help you to establish your priorities. □ air conditioning □ appliances 1 □ attic □ basement □ bathroom □ bedroom □ closets □ decks □ decorating □ doors □ dormers □ driveway □ electrical wiring □ family room > □ fence □ fireplace □ floors □ foundation □ garage □ greenhouse □ heating □ insulation □ kitchen □ laundry center □ lighting □ painting □ paneling □ patio □ rain gutters □ roofing □ sauna □ screens □ shelves □ siding □ skylights □ soffits and fascia □ windows Think about design, function If you’re thinking of adding a room or converting an existing room, design and function should be foremost in your mind. Would you like an added room to perform more than one function? Would you like your basement to now be a family room or work room? Would you like a greenhouse adjacent to your kitchen? Will your furniture fit in your new living room? Draw a simple floor plan using graph paper and patterns of your furniture cut to scale. Then lay out your room arrangement. Be sure to keep in mind traffic areas, a center of interest, furniture groupings, storage space, and adequate lighting. A professional remodeling contractor should be consulted about design and function of any remodeling project, and can also help you with time-and money-saving hints. Detailed specifications A professional remodeling contractor will not give you a sketchy proposal hastily drawn on the back of an envelope. The professional prepares a comprehensive set of material and labor specifications and carefully estimates costs. What you receive is a detailed proposal, outlining every aspect of the job — from removal of existing materials to thorough clean-up after the work is completed. Further, a professional remodeling contractor guarantees workmanship, and services the warranties offered by the suppliers of the materials and products installed. The professional prepares the necessary plans or sketches for a job and can recommend materials that will satisfy your needs. The professional remodeling contractor does all of this for one reason— your satisfaction. Comply with codes, permits Building codes are established by most cities, towns and counties and vary considerably from one jurisdiction to another. However, as a general rule, a building permit is required whenever structural work is involved or when the basic living area of a home is to be changed. For example, if you have a home with an unfinished basement, and would like to finish off a portion of it for a family room, you would need a building permit in most jurisdictions because you have changed the basic amount of living space in your house from storage space to “livable” space. The complex details of local building codes and permits are familiar details to a professional remodeling contractor. A professional works in your city or town every day and knows the local requirements. You pay any fee required by your municipality and are responsible for penalties resulting from any failure to file required permits. Be sure that your contract with a remodeler speels out any code or permit restrictions and fees involved in the work on your home. Financing your project When remodeling your home, you may wish to obtain financing for the project. There are various financing plans readily available to homeowners, many of which base loan amounts on equity in the home, or other assets. % Your local professional remodeling contractor is familiar with many of the financing options available, and can often help you arrange the financing you need.

BAUMGARDNER, TRUSTEE FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT: Douglas K. Baumgardner, Trustee P.O. Box 235 Washington, Virginia 22747 (703) 675-3517 JOHN WALKER JENKINS, AUCTIONEER Fringe benefits proposed by Estabrook for the seven administration members were discussed by the Board. One of the benefits proposed was for each administrator to have a membership in a professional organization provided for in the budget. Estabrook said that the maximum cost per person for a year’s membership in some organizations would be $200. School Board member Bill Oliver made a motion that a maximum of $100 per person be allowed for professional memberships, and that the memberships be in the name of the Rappahannock County School System. The motion was passed. Under the proposal, administrators would be able to take a three week vacation after three years of service and a four week vacation after 10 years of service. Updike amended the proposal so that for one to five years of service an administrator could take two weeks off, for six to 10 years of service three weeks of vacation would be allowed and for 11 years and over an administrator could take four weeks of vacation time. “That way we can recognize those folks who have more years of service,” Updike said. The change was approved. Board members then made their own suggestions for further fringe benefits for the system's employees. The Board examined retirement payments and insurance payments in an attempt to find an equitable way of offering more benefits to all employees and how more benefits would affect salary proposals. Oliver said that he had calculated the difference between a dollar spent on direct salary increase as compared to a dollar spent in a tax deductible fringe benefit program. He said that an employee would actually get an average of 64 cents out of every dollar that the county would have to pay $1.07 for. “A dollar given in tax deductible fringe benefits is a dollar credit and a dollar spent,” Oliver said. “It costs 67 percent more to give an increase in salary compared to an increase in benefits.” Teachers in the county are not being compensated as they should be, Oliver said, and to help both the teachers and the county he said that an increase in fringe benefits would be the answer. “We should adjust the salaries to stay abreast of inflation and give whatever 1 else we have in fringe benefits,” Oliver ' said. Oliver proposed a five percent in- 1 crease to base in salary with the rest ' added on to fringe benefits. The benefit that Oliver said should be considered first would be payment 1 of the retirement cost that e^ery employee has to pay now. “If we put the 1 dollar there, we would give a dollar to 1 the teachers to spend,” Oliver said. Nichols said that he believed that most of the personnel would rather have the increase in salary. “They’d rather have the dollar in hand so that they have the flexibility to use it as they want,” Nichols said. “It is a form of security since it , keeps more money in the pocket,” Massie said. “It is the basis of something that they will have in the future so I endorse picking up the cost of retirement.” Board members asked for informa- < tion to be gathered on several combinations of fringe benefits and salary i increases. Oliver asked for information ' on a proposal that would provide for a 1 ive percent salary increase to base for eachers, a 7.5 percent increase for )ther employees and a five percent in:rease for administration with fringe jenefits for all employees. An alternate proposal came from beeves who asked for figures if a seven jercent increase to base for teachers, a r.5 percent raise for other employees, i five percent increase for all admins,ration except for two positions that vstabrook was attempting to move up n scale that would have a six percent ncrease with fringe benefits for all. Updike wanted one other position, ;hat of a speech pathologist, included ,o determine its affect on the budget. Another item had to be included in he proposed budget. Rappahannock’s share of the operating costs of Piednont Vocational Technical Center had ,o be included even though the $42,430 s covered by state and federal monies. All of the salary line items in the judget will be discussed by the Board it the next meeting. The Board apjroved all of the other proposals made >y Estabrook except that compensa;ion to Board members will not be in:reased. Other changes in the proposed budget include an increase in funds budgeted for professional improvement, which is money for further studies by employees. “This is investing in our future, so I’d like to see that item increased greatly,” Updike said. The Board agreed to increase the amount budgeted from $7,000 to $14,000. The Board delayed consideration of the line item dealing with any problems with the schools’ furnaces so that Estabrook can compile more information for more accurate projections of costs. The Board will meet again for final budget preparations on Tuesday, March 26 at 7:30 p.m. at the elementary school. DAVID R.BATCHELDER —Class “A” Contractor—— CUSTOMBUILT TRADITIONAL, CONTEMPORARY AND SOLARHOMES & ADDITIONS FREE ESTIMATES CP Suicide... (Continued from Page 1 ) numbering four to five in short periods of time. Dorothy Lewis, social science analyst at the National Institute of Mental Health, quoted the following national statistics, which indicate a sharp increase in recent years in the rate of adolescent suicide. In the mid 1950’s 4.1 persons per 100,000 between the ages of 15 and 24 committed suicide. In 1980 the number had jumped to 12.5 per 100,000. With this increase, suicide moved from the fifth ranking cause of death among teens in 1960 to the third ranking cause in 1981. From ’ '70 to 1978 a total of 39,011 adolescents committed suicide. That figure represented a 41 percent increase from the previous eight years. But statistics are unfeeling; theymean little to us. We care much more about the one person we may know who seems likely to kill himself than we do about a number like 41,000 between so and so years. Still, it is hard not to stare at the statistics when^hey reveal a conclusion so bleak as thisi^hile the incidence of adult suicide has remained stable over the past few years, the incidence of adolescent suicide has risen dramatically. Why? The answer is unsatisfactory, because the fact is no one really knows why. Nettles cited two possibilites 1) the gloom of the nuclear age, which gives rise to the unseemly knowledge that missiles may obliterate the world within any given ten minutes and 2) the increase in drug and alcohol abuse. The reasons for a national increase in suicide cannot be pinpointed. More, however, is known about the symptoms that surround a suicidal individual. Asked if depression was considered the cause of suicide, Nettles said no. “Depression is closely associated with suicide, but it is not the cause. There isn’t a single cause. ” Is there a type of person who commits suicide? “Suicide-type research hasn’t been successful...but most common is a person with a long history of depression, a low self-esteem,” basically a person who lacks confidence in his or her ability to perform in an appropriate role. The suicidal person has intense feelings of hopelessness and believes that matters will only get worse. The typical situation for a successful suicide is created by such crises as: 1) the break up of a marriage or relationship 2) the death of a loved one 3) physical, sexual, or emotional abuse by a parent, guardian, or other significant person 4) difficulty with peers 5) fear of being alone 6) being arrested or jailed 7) use of alcohol or drugs and 8) the loss of a job. Common among teens, said Nettles, is accidental suicide, which results from a half-hearted attempt or gesture intended to send a message to someone else. The person was trying desperately to attract the attention of another, usually a family member, in the hopes that that person would see ‘‘what’s going on in my life.” They don’t mean to kill themselves, said Nettles, they mean to hurt themselves, but it goes too far. The two primary symptoms of any severe depression are 1) insomnia, that is, a “sleeping disturbance” over a pe riod of weeks or months and 2) anorexia or an “appetite disturbance.” An example of insomnia would be an habitual inability to get back to sleep after getting up early. Anorexia is characterized by a loss of interest in eating. Weight loss often occurs even though the person is not intending to diet. Other symptoms of depression include the “mirror images” of the latter two: 1) hypersomnia, characterized by unusually long periods of sleep and 2) overeating, which results in a weight gain. The hypersomniac not only avoids problems by sleeping, he or she avoids the “whole world.” Nettles said it was wrong to generalize, pointing out that insomnia and anorexia are not the only symptoms of depression “although they’re much more common than hypersomnia and overeating.” Other symptoms are: 1) loss of interest in activities formerly found pleasurable 2) memory disturbance and 3) cognitive disturbance, characterized by an inability to think clearly. Asked about how to prevent suicide, Nettles said first of all “people need to take it seriously when someone threatens suicide. Don’t ignore it and hope it gets better. It is a myth to think that if a person says he will do it (commit suicide) he won’t do it.” In addition to getting professional help (which can be gotten from Family Guidance Services of Rappahannock 675-3329) Nettles said it was important to do the following at home: 1) remove the means - “get the guns out of the house,” lock up ammunition or give it to a neighbor 2) remove prescription drugs from the medicine cabinet and hide them and 3) observe the person, stay near and try to communicate. Before admitting a patient, Family Guidance Services will assess whether the situation is an emergency and decide when and what kind of treatment is needed. An effort is made to meet with the person as quickly as possible. If need be, a person may be civilly committed by a court, which means a judge may order a person detained ii the person is deemed to be 1) in immi First Day Of Spring (Continued from Page 1) spring is the second longest season after summer.” The difference in the seasons’ lengths is due to the earth’s changing speeds during its yearly orbit. “The earth moves most quickly at the beginning of the year (in early January) and most slowly at midyear (in early July).” Spring is a transition period from the weather extremes of winter and summer and “is the chief season of planting and germination, when life, light, and apparent order in the universe once more prevail over what the ancients regarded as the chaos of the dark, barren winter season.” The influence of spring can be found in mythology, folklore and art. “Ancient sculptors often depicted spring as a female figure carrying flowers. Early Christians regarded the seasons as symbolic of the course of human life, seeing spring as rebirth or resurrection after the death that winter seemed to symbolize.” The seasons continued to figure largely in art through the Middle Ages, especially in the ‘T3th century with the beautifully carved depictions of the seasons and the individual months in the French cathedrals of Paris, Chartres, and Reims. These spring scenes reveal the harsh realities of the laborer’s everyday tasks in preparing the fields for cultivation and dressing the vineyards.” Later, renaissance artists treated spring in a lighter way. “Botticelli’s famous painting Priniavera is a prime example of the glorification of the joys of awakening nature.” Spring has traditionally been the season for beginnings. “Even the season’s major religious holidays epitomize the arrival of spring, at least indirectly. The Jewish Passover refers to renaissance, or, more exactly, release from physical and spiritual bondage and from the labors of winter.” Easter, the Christian holiday, “which may have borrowed its name from Eostre, Teutonic goddess of spring and fertility-is a joyful celebration of resurrection and eternal life, with the hymn words, ‘Christ the Lord is risen today, alleluia!’ ringing out across the land.” Other religious observances by the American Indians take on special significance in spring “--as prayers for fruitfulness of fields and animals and people, or for fructifying rain.” By KI)IK FISHB.U K l’hof*c KI7-IWI nent danger to himself or to others and 2) substantially unable to care for himself. The judge involved must first consult with Family Guidance Services before committing anyone. Also, the person must be afforded a co'urc hearing. A study conducted by Family Guidance Services of Fauquier includes the following statement. “The cardinal rule of suicide prevention is DO something - and NOW. Don’t wait to make sure your adolescent is really serious. Don’t wait to see if other signs develop. Don’t decide to sleep on it, or wait until tomorrow morning. Tomorrow may be too late.” Sperryville Realty SPERRYVILLE EMPORIUM Sperryville, Virginia 22740 (703) 987-8088-Office Sperryville on Rt. 211, seven room 1 Vi bath home, bam, 14 x 15 building with commercial potential, 1.84 acres. $75,000.
