rRR 1905 The County Family Newspaper ____.__ Founded 1877_■ ____ 35TH YEAR, NO. 12 IS PS 455580 18 PAGES THURSDAY, MARCH 28,1985 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA Phone 675-3349 25* • Zoning Office Hours Both the zoning and the building office are now open for public business on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Emiel Smet is both the building official and the acting zoning administrator. • Town Zoning Amendments The Rappahannock planning commissioners, who have been acting jointly as the planning commission for the Town of Washington, recommended passage of three amendments to the Town’s zoning ordinance during their regular meeting on March 20. The first of the three amendments, all proposed by town council, would abolish the joint planning commission and empower town council to create its own planning commission. The second amendment would allow town council to create a fivemember board of zoning appeals. The third amendment would allow no more than one dwelling unit or building to be situated on a lot unless the town council of Washington first granted a special use permit. Also during the meeting, acting Zoning Administrator Emiel Smet presented an application for a special use permit from the Sperryville Assembley of God. Because of property limitations at the present site, Church representatives plan to build a Church on a 12.8 acre lot in Piedmont District on Route 612 off Route 211. The planners forwarded a recommendation of approval to the BZA. • Humane Society Meeting Plans for Rappahannock’s temporary animal shelter will be aired at tonight’s (March 28) meeting of the Rappahannock Humane Society (RHS). The 7:30 p.m. event at the Court House will be the group’s first annual meeting, with election of a board of directors and a slate of officers. RHS chairman Vince Hannon said that members of the Board of Supervisors had been asked to brief the membership on the progress of the new shelter to be built on Animal Warden Jack Bruce’s farm. Plans for the facility were approved last January by outgoing Virginia Animal Welfare Officer, Dr. L. E. Bowen, Jr. As a special guest at tonight’s meeting, Culpeper resident Mimi Harrison will discuss her pet registry, which receives and places orphaned pets in caring homes. “We know from the numerous calls we get that lots of Rappahannock people care about animals—especially when they are lost or abandoned, or hurt or being mistreated,” Hannon said. The role of the fledgling society in the care and well-being of Rappahannock’s animal residents will be on tonight’s agenda, he said, and he urged attendance by these interested people whose support is sorely needed by the nonprofit group. • Home Health Care Offered Warren Memorial Hospital in Front Royal has announced plans to begin offering home health care for homebound patients of any age who - require medical care. “Home health care is an increasingly important option in modem medical care, and Warren Memorial is at the forefront offering this service,” said C. Douglas Rosen, administrator of the hospital. “As hospitals are forced by Medicare to discharge patients earlier, home health care is the best way to assure that the patient continues to receive necessary medical treatment. Home care is less expensive than extended hospital or nursing home treatment with no sacrifice in quality of care.” Home Health Care will include skilled nursing, nutrition counseling, physical therapy, IV antibiotic therapy, and patient and family education. All services will be tailored to the individual’s needs. Care is initiated by the patient’s physician and administered by registered and licensed practical nurses, home health aides, and other trained professionals. • Book Discussion At Library On Monday, April 8 at 7:30 the Rappahannock Library will feature The Member of the Wedding by Carson McCullers as the third book in its discussion series, “Growing Up In the South.” This bittersweet novel about love, loneliness and early adolescence helped establish McCullers as one of the South’s finest writers. Dr. Aim Fisher, assistant professor at the University of Virginia, will provide commentary and lead discussion. The book discussion series is sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities and is free to the public. Books are available at the Library for loan or sale. The last two books in the series will be A Childhood: The Biography of a Place by Harry Crews (April 22) and A Death in the Family by James Agee (May 6). • 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. Tests 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. • Guest Seeks Reelection Delegate Raymond R. “Andy” Guest, Jr. announced recently that he would seek his party’s nomination and run for reelection to the House of Delegates. Guest, a Warren County farmer, said that the Republican nominating convention for the 31st House Legislative District - which includes Rappahannock - would be held in Clarke County at 10:00 a.m., Saturday, May 11th. During his 14 years in the House of Delegates Guest has come to be the senior Republican on the Committees for Agriculture, Finance, Conservation and Natural Resources and Roads and Internal Navigation. Speaking of his seniority Guest said, “seniority in itself will not guarantee results. It is the experience afforded by seniority that teaches a legislator how to be most effective on behalf of his constituents. Tlie friendships and the working relationships built up over the years make ' the job easier, but still challenging.” School Budget Ready For Board By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer The 1985-86 school budget for Rappahannock County was adopted by the School Board on Tuesday, March 26 and will be presented to the Board of Supervisors prior to their next meeting on Monday, April 1. Salary items were the major parts of the budget not adopted at last week’s Board meeting. Alternate proposals with differing figures for straight salary increase in combination with fringe benefits were made at that meeting and Superintendent Robert Estabrook was asked to gather the data on what effect on the budget each proposal would have. On March 26, the proposals were outlined for the Board, and a proposal was made by School Board member Randall Updike. “This is going to be a bottom line proposal, and the two new teacher positions will not be included in these figures,” Updike said. Updike proposed that teachers and aides receive a 10 percent increase to the bottom line in salary and five percent in retirement benefit, that classified employees (bus drivers, secretaries, etc.) receive an eight percent increase in salary and five percent in benefit, administration would receive six percent to salary and five to benefit except for the three positions of assistant superintendent, assistant principal at the high school and the special services coordinator. Those three positions would receive eight percent in salary increase and five percent in retirement benefit. “That is in line with the discussion Quacking In The Rain Rappahannock News PhoM/Jon Kftmrfcvnp This couple takes a stroll on a rainy spring day. last week as far as putting in the five percent as a benefit for non-taxable purposes,” School Board Chairman Beverly Massie said. She then asked about the effect the proposal would have on the budget’s bottom line. Using the figures that had been calculated, Estabrook estimated that the proposal would increase the local share of the budget by $79,303 over last year. “This proposal is sort of a median considering some of the proposals we have,” said Board member Nancy Reeves. Updike altered his proposal when , the motion was made to increase the teacher/aide salary percentage to the bottom line from 10 percent to 11 percent. A few teachers and parents attended Tuesday night’s meeting, and there was some discussion of the merits of having the five percent retirement payment included. Board member Bill Oliver said that the proposal would be roughly equivalent to giving an 18.5 percent increase in salary to the teachers. “There would have to be $1.50 in taxable pay to get $1.00,” Oliver said. “The five percent retirement benefit is worth more than a five percent increase in salary, or taxable dollars.” Don Bomberger, a teacher, said that figures from the Virginia Education Association illustrated that such, an increase including fringe benefits was worth half of a straight salary increase. “Go look at your 10/40,” Oliver said. Massie interrupted the conversation and said that “This is not to be an exchange with the audience.” Updike’s salary proposal was then adopted by a unanimous vote of the Board. The eight percent salary increase for classified employees will be used in a salary scale for those employees in an effort to have a salary schedule that would consider the employee’s years of experience. “I move that we set the salary schedule with the understanding that no one would take a pay cut according to the percentages adopted,” Reeves said. The Board then went through the (Continued on Page 18) Eugene J. McCarthy Views Rappahannock And The World JON KLAVERKAMP Rappahannock News Staff Writer Eugene J. McCarthy—former U.S. Senator, Congressman for 22 years, author of 11 books—came to Rappahannock County “kind of by accident.” After retiring from the Senate in 1970 he settled in Georgetown. Not happy, however, living full-time in the city he rented a house in Amissville for four consecutive winters. The country house appealed to McCarthy. Finally, “the lady sold it to me,” he said. McCarthy has since relocated to Hawlin Hollow in Woodville where he has lived for five years. From high atop his perch in Hawlin, McCarthy observes with a keen eye the natural beauty of Rappahannock. In his most recent book The View From Rappahannock (essays) he describes the colors of the county in autumn: “And then the colors begin: first sumac, singed and turning to a savage orange and red; the pentecostal tongues of gum tree leaves; the dogwood, some green and red and others the color of dried blood. Beyond these are the varied yellows of beech and poplar; of ash and hickory, and elm; the bronze, the copper, and the red of oak trees; and the sudden surprising Hares of maples. All these colors are tempered by the remaining green of willows in the low lands and the continuing green of pine, cedar, and of hemlock and of the fir trees that run the ridges of the hills and mountains.” An account of nature by McCarthy often reads like a passage from The Book Of Lists or a page tom from a dictionary of horticulture. Witness: “For three seasons there are flowers: wild plum, cherry and redbud, bloodroot, spring violets, wild azaleas, may apples in the spring, anemones, phlox, chicory and daisies, daylilies in the summer, asters, daisies, butterfly weed, ironweed, and thistles in the fall. Aside from this more than casual interest in the landscape, McCarthy’s essays reveal an appreciation for the stock human characters of Rappahannock. That is, the former senator can relate to the “good old boys.” He relies for rural wisdom on such pure-blooded natives as the “whittlers at the Comer Store in Sperryville.” “I like to get their point of view,” McCarthy said. “The things these people think about and the way they think about them are centuries different from the thought in Washington, D.C.” He characterizes “old boy” thought as “uncluttered.” McCarthy’s respect for “the boys” is evident in a passage from his essay Computers Haven't Found Rappahannock Yet. In it he discusses how computers such as the one at Reader’s Digest bombard his mailbox with offers and “ultimate offers.” One computerprinted letter from the Smithsonian Institution assured him “that I was ‘one of a small group’ of Woodville Residents (capitalized) invited to become National Associates of that prestigious Institution.” Whom did McCarthy turn to in hopes of verifying if other “Woodville Residents” really were among the select few chosen by the Smithsonian Institution? “I have not checked with the boys who sit on the post office stoop each morning, waiting for the mail to be distributed, to see which of them is included in the small group that has been favored and identified by the Smithsonian computer, but will do so next Monday.” McCarthy himself grew up in a rural farming town—Watkins, Minnesota, pop. 600—where he became familiar with country scenes such as the boys sitting on the post office stoop. “We all used to hang around the cream station.” McCarthy is forever examining curious rural sightings. He told of a drive through Amissville during which he saw a dead groundhog hanging by its tail from a tree. He wondered why. “Is it so the dogs won’t get them” or is it ‘ a symbolic act of some sort,” he thought to himself. He couldn’t figure it out and no one else was of much help. He asked at least six natives from the county what it was for. “Why was a groundhog hanging six to eight feet above the ground from a tree?” Their casual reply: “Yeah, I’ve seen that.” “Well does anyone know why,” he countered, growing more exasperated. He is still searching for an answer. McCarthy finds a good deal more to do than research the mystery of the hanging groundhog. He is in the process of writing another book. When asked what it was about, he had diffi eulty labeling its theme. “Its reminiscences, well....sort of historical, its more about other people than me....some biography though, but it’s not memoirs—it’s not that bad.” Why the concern about memoirs?

Wakefield Students Win National French Awards By HELEN RUISI Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Competing against students from public and private schools all over Virginia, Wakefield students have won first place awards in three of the five divisions of the Virginia chapter of the 1986 French National Contest held in early March.

Frank Lewis Nibblins pled guilty to the DWI charge, and it was stated in court that Nibblins had been arrested for DWI in Culpeper County a few weeks before he was arrested in Rappahannock. Before those offenses, Nibblins had had a clean driving record for 15 years. 1 Nibblins has a full-time job in Culpeper and also works two part-time jobs. “I think that a man who works as hard as Mr. Nibblins does deserves some consideration,” Judge Alexander said. Judge Alexander accepted the guilty plea and continued the case to October 8 on the conditions that Nibblins complete the ASAP program and commit no further violations. If Nibblins completes ASAP before October 8, Judge Alexander said that he would deal with the.case at that time. ■' Other cases decided Tuesday included^ Criminal Division Joseph Louis Ruffo, refusal to take a breathalizer test, no prosecution because in connection with DWI case.

Wakefield Students On 10th Foreign Tour By HELEN RUISI Rappahannock News Contributing Writer On Sunday, March 31, 32 Wakefield students accompanied by three teachers will depart for Luxembourg to begin the first leg of a 12-day tour of Central Europe that will include Alsace, the Swiss Alps, Liechenstein, Austria and the Rhineland of Germany. This year’s trip is the 10th foreign trip organized by the school for students during the Easter break. Countries visited in previous years have included France (twice), Greece (twice), Great Britain, Canada, Ireland, Egypt and Italy. According to Wakefield headmaster William Lynn, the first trip nine years ago was the best bargain of all. With a grant from the French Ministry of Culture, a Wakefield group of 50 students and teachers was able to tour France for nine days for only $389 total, including air fare. Since then, Lynn says, the costs have increased rather dramatically, but are still good bargains at student group rates. Are the trips worthwhile? Lynn believes they are of immense educational and cultural value: history, geography and art classes rolled into one, with lots of fun and adventure thrown in. For the past four years the school trips have been conducted by Dr. Robert Bums, head of the European office of Educational Tours, Ltd. Bums, former head of the Department of Philosophy at the University of Alabama, knows exactly what the students should see and how to show it to them, Lynn said. According to Lynn, Dr. Bums understands that students are highly physical beings who need play and recreation in between learning. He cites an example from last year’s trip to France. The students, after having spent the morning studying examples of Gothic architecture and viewing the Bayeux Tapestry, were left free to spend an entire afternoon roaming the Normandy beaches and playing in the bunkers. Bums also knows how to capture their attention. His demonstration of how to swirl a glass of wine and properly sniff the bouquet is always popular with would-be student sophisticates, Lynn says. When the Wakefield party steps off the plane in Luxembourg their friend Dr. Bums will be on hand to greet them and begin the tour. After a day and night sightseeing and resting in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the group will journey by tour bus through the French province of Alsace to the great cathedral city of Strasbourg. Highlights of the visit to Alsace will include a walk through Riquewihr, a beautifully preserved 16th century wine-making village and a tour of the Chateau du Haut-Koenigsbourg, a feudal castle restored by Kaiser Wilhelm II. From Alsace, the tour will head south into Switzerland, with a two-day stop in Lucerne. From Lucerne there will be an excursion to nearby Mt. Pilatus. In what promises to be the best adventure of the trip, the students will climb to the top of the 7000 foot mountain by cogwheel train, cross the chasm in a cablecar and descend the mountain in a chairlift. From Lucerne, the tour will proceed to Salzburg, Austria with stops in Liechtenstein, one of the world’s smallest countries, and Innsbruck, capital of the Tyrol, where the students hope to do some skiing. Easter weekend will be spent in Salzburg, the city of Mozart’s birth. On Easter Sunday the group will attend High Mass at Salzburg’s baroque cathedral. Also, while in Salzburg, the group will visit Schloss Hellbrunn, a 17th century baroque castle famous for its trick fountains, take an excursion to the Salt Mines and attend a performance of the Salzburg Marionettes. After Austria, the tour will visit Germany, making overnight stops in medieval Rothenburg and the university city of Heidelberg. The highlight of the German tour will b6 a full day boat cruise on the Rhine River with views of castles, vineyards and the legendary Lorelai.

Le Gourmand De Rappahannock A Delectable Dining Experience At Brambles By JON KLAVERKAMP Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock News welcomes to its staff internationally known food critic Jon Klaverkamp (oddly enough the editor’s namesake - no relation, however). Unfortunately, Klaverkamp’s reputation has yet to flower on the east coast of the United States where he is all but unknown. This is difficult to explain given the household familiarity of his name in Europe and parts of Asia. The Editor Upon entering Brambles last Saturday night I was promptly greeted, seated and - if you haven’t guessed - to a sumptuous meal treated. This is neither poetry nor a joke. The experience was truly memorable and rare, far surpassing the culinary offerings of neigboring counties. After indulging in the delectables at Brambles, one strives to blot out such ghastly culinary engagements as have been experienced by all on Route Eileen M. Day maltoh SALES CONTRACT TIPS Whether buying or selling, here are some basic points to keep in mind about the written agreement; 1) Everything is negotiable, but not everything is worth negotiating. Good bargainers yield on minor points while keeping alive important issues. 2) Written words cqunt. Many contract forms state that neither party shall be bound by terms or conditions, not found in the sales contract. A verbal promise, such as, “Yes, you can have the clothes washer,” is no substitute for a written understanding. 3) Beware of suggestions that you can sign an agreement today and change it by yourself later. A contract can only be changed by mutual agreement by all parties. 4) If you offer to buy a home for $100,000 and the seller sends back a counterproposal for $110,000. your original offer Is generally dead. In effect, the seller has now made a new offer which you can accept or reject. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M.

Best always to focus on the good, and so I shall sing my praises to a Saturday night dinner at Brambles. The night began on a distinctly positive note when a gracious hostess charmed me all the way to my candlelit table. From there I had a full view of the exposed kitchen, which heightened my anticipation of things to come and distracted me not a little. The menu was alluring enough, but it could not command the eye when Filet Mignon sizzled on the grill in plain sight. I register this not as a complaint but again as a distraction, a luxurious annoyance. The serenity imposed by candlelight served to calm my anxiety as the waitress approached and asked if I would have either beer or wine. This first decision is crucial since a mishap in choice may well di rient the palate for the entire night. I reflected over the assortment of imported and domestic beers, settling on this one then that one then none at all. Finally I selected the house wine, Chablis Blanc, which to my surprise was exquisitely dry yet not pretentiously so. I was off to a good start. Then I was presented with a generous straw basket of well-warmed wheat dinner rolls, followed by a crisp and uncommonly fresh dinner salad. I considered it a worthy first salad of spring - a not insignificant distinction. With a classic three-lettuce foun dation - romaine, boston, iceberg - the salad could trace its lineage from ancient Rome through to colonial America. As if to honor the salad’s rich heritage it was besprinkled with white radish, cucumber, purple cabbage and cherry tomatoes. An herbed Italian dressing lent a rare nuance to the whole. A bittersweet gastronomic truth acknowledges that all people, including the refined, will largely ignore a salad past its halfway mark regardless of its merit. The aroma of entrees mellowing as they bake simply overpowers even the most disciplined of attention spans, forcing all thoughts to focus on the approaching fateful moment. Excitement builds. Expectation thrills. The menu is here presented so that the reader can make an imaginary choice and guess at mine. • Crabcakes • Fried oysters • Cornish game hen • Scallops Saint Jaques • Monk Fish • Filet Mignon •Steamed shrimp When I protested that a choice between Crabcakes and Fried oysters was impossible, the chef granted a rare exception and prepared two half-or NOTICE TO LOT OWNERS OF SPERRYVILLE CEMETERY: The annual spring clean-up prior to the start of the mowing season will begin the first of April, and the Cemetery Association requests that all lot owners who have any flowers, containers, etc. that they wish to preserve will please remove them from their plots before this work is begun.

This was not standard policy and I look with shame upon my example, hoping it won’t be repeated by others. The moment had arrived. An elegant waitress, who by the way must have approached on tiptoe (I was hardly aware of her movements), set between my tableware a plate full of plump steaming oysters and crabcakes, the very presence of which weakened me. I’ll be frank. Neither the crabcakes nor the oysters were anything less than culinary artistry, neither were a notch lower than perfection. Judging from taste, aroma, and color each must have been fresh catch that day, although I neglected to confirm this hunch. The oysters, delicately fried in buttermilk batter, were tender and moist on the inside. Here one wants to forgo the search for fitting adjectives and simply recall the experience. So I will pause for a moment to do just that.... ah, thank y ou. The crabcakes, sad to say, will suffer no such lack of description. For if it is possible, they outshone the oysters. I became rapturous. The cake itself was shaped into a generous oval, really quite lovingly done. The time has come to make a point. Never, I must repeat, never have I known a crabcake to contain more crab than cake. Am I understood? Surely all of us are familiar with the disturbing search for a few shreds of crab in a crabcake. That is the norm. Well let it be known that Brambles slices and dices the norm. On Saturday night I carried on a search for cake not crab, truly a delightful change of pace. Packed with moist morsels of crabmeat, the cake itself was little more than a light batter of butter, egg and onion. Exquisite.

The moment for action, however, grew near and I knew it. Fork now in my fingers I began poking at pecans, separating them in preparation for a plunge to the center of the pie. I proceeded with the plunge and raised a fork-full of pie to my lips. I began chewing, whereupon I fainted and, presumably, went to heaven.

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation Good Education In their April 1 meeting the supervisors will begin to review the proposed budget for the 1985-86 school year. We know they will devote time to the question of how much the county can afford to spend on education. We hope they will be equally devoted to another question, namely: What the county’s children cannot afford to lose. What they cannot afford to lose is education—good education. The issue here is quality of life. Education or lack of it is what a child will carry around in his mind for a lifetime. The importance of that is immense, it cannot be overestimated. What does education do? 1) It teaches us to think for ourselves, rather than submit blindly to ingrained prejudices, which contribute to life’s ugliness. 2) It builds self-respect and confidence. Through education we learn to appreciate ourselves and all that we can do. It is the lack of appreciation for oneself that very often leads to severe depression and disillusionment with life. 3) It often gives us the ability and determination to seek a better life than we inherited. 4) It teaches us to be interested and knowledgeable in past and present events. This in turn makes us more interesting people. There are many arguments for education. We ask that the supervisors consider them when reviewing the school budget.

It previously had been selected as the “best children’s entertainment film of 1984” at the American Film Festival in New" York City and as a notable children’s film by the American Library Associa tion. “Jack and the Dentist’s Daughter,” about a clever young man in small-town America of the 1930s, won a cash award at the Sinking Creek Film Festival of 1985 in Nashville, Tenn,, and also the $1,000 award at the 1985 Atlanta (Ga.) Film and Video Festival for the “best Southern work exhibiting greatest technical excellence.” The Fauquier Chapter of the American Red Cross will sponsor a showing of both films on April 12 at the John Barton Payne Building in Warren ton at 6:30 p.m. Donation will be $5 for adults and $3 for children. |—Our Rappahannock Heritage — The ln New> mv>u- Th* ,anor m;" o open m'hnU h(,\vevo>'. tortain pviuh'h'n b, ,\U U:!U;'" 'nU*n> ^n,,a: I"™ o .' l ,.ue'~ ., i„ S" '■ .,or^"’h ■ _o\no -hoW n- \ Vl.a hvrt • it{ ^: v;»«v;ah-»- _ The l .J If pos^'hh . <i,ueoa. he 1>T»-'1 i!"‘'(,JS«h-ve»' l.e""'' pp.hea. *'»=i'v',Un,,t 4..«\a "'ft .,»»■ o(fiee h> 'f' v -puh\>'" • \.eVh"- ,o V "' .on" pol.

It is on the increase throughout the world, even in such protected, truly welfare societies as Sweden—where the suicide rate is the highest. Unless philosophically inclined, people are content to take life as it comes when things go reasonably well, preferring to evade the troublesome question of life’s purpose or meaning. In times of trouble, however," the problem forces itself on our awareness. To have found meaning is thus the only antidote to the deliberate seeking of death. Sir John Eccles, winner of the Nobel prize for Medicine in 1963 for his work in demonstrating the transmission of electrical impulses in the brain, and now turned philosopher says, “what worries me about the world is that I don’t think we have come to terms with the enormous explosion of information. We are drowned in too much trivial information so no one thinks anymore. It was much better in the days when people could think and talk and get some primitive understanding of their lives.” Unquestionably alcohol and drugs play a part in many teenage suicides. But often it is the model boy or girl who “self-destructs.” The same peer pressures may drive some to alcohol and drugs, others to suicide. A biochemical basis for depression, the most common precursor to suicide, has recently been expounded. The theory is that depression results from a deficiency of chemical compounds, biogenic amines which are located in various areas of the brain but are heavily concentrated in part of the cerebrum that appears to be closely associated with the emotions—the hypothalamus. These amines function as neurotransmitters in these brain areas. A deficiency in the transmitters will stop brain message transmission and Littering Louts To the editor: I, too, am disgusted along with Eric Kvames on the trash litter problem that he wrote about March 21. We both see the same road, 622/211, and it’s gotten horrible. Maybe a fence could be put up so the “dumpers” could not pull over to dump all around the bridge and into the Covington River. It certainly would deter the picnicking tourists who leave Kentucky chicken, McD’s and other boxes, cans and even Pampers on the ground. I really think these “chains” should add a few cents to all the orders, and hire a Clean Up America team for their products. If you collect cans, you thus produce symptoms of depression: irregularities of sleep and appetite, listlessness and general lessening of energy and interest at work or school. There is evidence that anti-depressive drugs work by making these amines available for enhanced brain message transmission through the central nervous system. Alcohol and “drugs” have the opposite effect. Dr. William E. Bunney, chief of the biological psychiatry group of the National Institute of Mental Health and a renowned researcher in the biochemistry of manic-depression says that there is considerable evidence that there are strong genetic factors in depression. If we could identify vulnerable “at-risk” groups of children, then we could start preventive measures early in life. At least 309c of people who try suicide are from families who have had suicides or depression in their background. If a high index of suspicion is maintained and psychosomatic complaints such as headache, unexplained pains and unusual behavior are taken as a real cry for help, some of these children can be saved. The thought of a nuclear holocaust may be a factor in some suicides but I doubt it very much. These children are not afraid of dying, they are afraid of living in this mixed-up world which we have created for them. The erosion of the religious view of man in the last years of the second millennium is slowly working serious changes in every fold and field of life. Rationalistic science is provoking revision after revision of traditional theological concepts. The waning of institutional religions is resulting in these more private religious or cults of every description which the young are grabbing as they key to survival. The rest of this century may yet bring about a religion which will give man a world view, a hierarchy of importances, an auguring place where he may find out what to do, free to think, in short a total explanation and meaning of man. BERNARD E. NUNEZ Castleton could get rich on 622. The Boy Scouts did some collecting here for several years. I do not think local persons are as responsible for the trash, as I do, the visitors. One day I got out to see a huge pile of papers blowing around in my driveway and found names and addresses from Culpeper. I do agree the law should do more watching and levy fines. Maybe persons who were caught could be publicized and put on a trash patrol as Eric suggested. Anything is worth a try. Rappahannock is supposed to ■ be a beautiful and desirable place to be, and live, do not let it be destroyed. , HELEN BRIDGES Washington Educational Crisis To the editor: I’m writing as a parent, an educator and a citizen concerning the issue of teachers’ salaries. An x-student of mine from Rappahannock County High School is now working for IBM in Manassas producing chips for computers. With no college degree and three years of experiences, he’s earning over $25,000. A teacher w orking in our school system for 25 years, with a minimum of a bachelor’s degree and renewal of the teaching credential through additional college courses every five years, earns $19,300. This does not make sense. It must be changed. The problem is larger than our county, of course. While the task of teaching has new difficulties, the salaries have not kept pace. Even in a community as stable as Rappahannock, teachers are coping with the effects of the unprecedented divorce rate here and the loss of many mothers to the work force who have been a crucial part of the educational support system. With the technological revolution, the complexity of knowledge is mushrooming at blinding speed. The competition and power of television for young people’s values and attention is a new factor in the learning equation. Teaching reading, writing and arithmetic is not as simple as it once was. It is suicidal for our country to poorly reward those who guide and challenge the future generation. If we do not treasure our children, we cannot ask them to respect us. In an attempt to halt the brain drain from the teaching profession, Virginia’s executive branch has recommended an increase of 10% to base salaries each year. This approach will help make teachers’ wages more competitive with the private sector. The surrounding counties have been acting on the Governor’s recommendation for several years now' and their systems are looking particularly attractive to our teachers at this point. Rappahannock has seen the effects of the non-competitiveness of teachers’ salaries by the three math teachers the high school had in the space of four months this fall. Ask the students how much time they spent learning algebra versus how much time they spent adjusting to the style and expectations of a new personality in the classroom. Our children are paying the price for the low priority given to their learning. We are faced with the opportunity this year to take significant steps to close the gap between the value of the work that teachers do and the amount they are paid. If every adult in Rappahannock gave $50.00 more than their present taxes towards teachers’ salaries, we would have raised more than the $180,000 necessary to make our public school salaries equal to the surrounding counties. Mr. Oliver had some excellent ideas about how to stretch the tax dollar further by increasing teachers’ benefits. I believe increased benefits should be added to a minimum increase of 13% to the base salary. We must continue the School Board’s efforts to make up for the disgraceful financial priority teaching has in our society. As many other parents have stated, I too want Rappahannock’s teachers to be paid the best salaries in the area, not the worst. I am reminded about what a community ol determined people can achieve by the recent efforts of a group of well-known singers who are working together to raise funds for the victims of Africa’s famine. Their words apply to Rappahannock’s public schools as well: We are the world We are the children. We are the ones to make a brighter day, So let’s start giving. There’s a choice we’re making. We’re saving our own lives. It’s true we make a better day, Just you and me. LAURIE MARSHALL Sperryville Attend Democratic Meeting To the editor: Democrats have an opportunity on Saturday, March 30 at the Court House at 12 noon to participate in the selection of a candidate for governor to oppose the nominee of the Republicans in November. Lt. Governor Richard Davis has organized a campaign across the state to win that nomination. Delegates to a nominating convention will be selected at a mass meeting in which all registered voters willing to indicate they are Democrats are free to participate. Rappahannock will select four delegates. Dick Davis is a former successful mayor of Portsmouth, Va. He has been successful as well at a number of business undertakings and when asked by the party to be its state chair, he responded and worked effectively to unify the party. Following that, he was elected along with Robb and Baliles to one of our highest state offices. Davis is forthright and reasonable on a great many issues of concern to Virginia’s future. He set out early in his campaipi his positions on all sorts of matters in a "Blueprint for Virginia’s future.” First among his concerns are education, improved employment opportunities, the protection of our environment and an economical and efficient government. These are all solidly “conservative” concerns in the best sense of that frequently abased word. You can make a difference in the candidate selection process. Exercise your voting rights and attend the Democratic Mass Meeting on Saturday. A copy of Mr. Davis’ “Blueprint for Virginia’s Future” is on deposit at the Rappahannock County Library in Washington for your examination. DIANA BIRD Corrections In last week’s article on raising Quail, we should have reminded people to obtain a proper license from the Virginia Game Commission and Inland Fisheries before going ahead with raising the animals.

' Fauquier Supervisors Propose Sludge Monitoring The Fauquier Planning Commission will hold a public hearing Thursday on a proposed zoning amendment that would allow the county to monitor the application of sewage sludge on farmland. The planners are expected to favorably recommend some version of the amendment to the Fauquier supervisors. The proposal, modeled after the State Water Control Board’s regulations governing the use of the farm fertilizer substitute, would charge applicants $50 permit fee and $2 for each acre on which the sludge is applied. Revenues generated by such fees would pay for the administrative costs and the monitoring program, which could include pre- and post-sludge application studies of the soil and ground and surface water in the area affected. Fauquier Population Tops 40,000 Fauquier County’s population has surpassed the 40,000 mark, according to state government census projections. According to projections by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission, the county’s population reached 40,365 by the end of 1984. The last U.S. Census Bureau population study indicated that in 1980 Fauquier’s population was 35,889. Fauquier officials say they are pleased by the steady and “controlled” pace of growth the county has experienced during the past five years. They say they also are encouraged by census projections that suggest a similar rate of population growth for Fauquier into the year 1990. The RRPDC study projects the county population will at most be 52,389 in five years. The study’s projected low for 1990 is 44,893. Loudoun Budget Nears $83 Million Loudoun County Administrator Philip A. Bolen last week proposed an $82.7 million county 1986-86 budget that calls for an 8.2-percent increase in local real estate taxes. The administrator’s recommended budget, which the board of supervisors will review over the next few months, includes $1.8 million in new programs and requires a real estate tax rate of $1.19 per $100 of assessed value — a nine-cent increase over the current $1.10. The proposed tax rate means an increase of $84 a year on a home assessed at $93,000. The tax on that home would go from $1,023 to $1,107 a year. In his presentation to the board, Bolen said the there are 4,555 new residents in the county since the current board took office in January 1984. That averages about 72 people a week, and they are generating a greater demand for services, he said. Attorney Chosen To Write Loudoun’s TDR Proposal Edgar A. Prichard, a Fairfax land use lawyer for the past 38 years, will write the transferable development rights ordinance that Loudoun County plans to send to the 1986 General Assembly for its approval. Prichard, 65, was the unanimous choice of the board of supervisors’ Policy Development Committee, which interviewed three candidates on Thursday night and made its recommendation to the full board on Tuesday afternoon. Under the schedule the committee recommends, the draft ordinance would be done by June 1, allowing the county ample time to explain it, seek public comment and convince key members of the legislature to support it. Loudoun needs state enabling authority to establish the program, which would allow developers to buy development potential from farmland and use it to increase the number of houses they can build in areas planned for new housing. The legislature gave Loudoun permission this year to draft the ordinance, but wants to see the draft next session before it approves the program, which is the major recommendation of the Rural Land Management Plan the board adopted in November. The county administration and the committee moved quickly last week to arrange the interviews after the committee’s first choice, former Piedmont Environmental Council attorney Franklin B. Reynolds Jr., told the board on March 18 that he would not submit a proposal. Prichard, who estimated his fee at $15,000-$20,000, was the first candidate the committee interviewed, followed by local attorneys Julia T. Cannon and Peter H. Burnett (who made their proposal together) and Massachussetts lawyer and law professor Frank E. Schnidman, who spoke to the committee by conference telephone call from Raleigh, N.C. Armory Proposed For Site Near Leesburg The board of supervisors will consider donating 2.5 acres to Virginia'for a National Guard armory as soon as the board decides on a site for a fire and rescue training center, Frank Raflo, Virginia Roundup By ARCOM News Service chairman of the board, said Tuesday. The county has an option that expires April 3 to buy land east of the Leesburg Municipal Airport off Sycolin Road, and Raflo said the site may be used for an armory and other uses as well as a training center for fire and rescue personnel. One benefit of including other uses at the site, Raflo said, is that the other users, like the National Guard, could help pay for the development of the site. He mentioned road construction specifically, and he said the National Guard has indicated it would help with such costs. Federal and state funds will pay for construction of the armory, according to Virginia’s Department of Military Affairs. Leesburg has been selected as a site and money has been appropriated already for the project, which DMA es timated would cost $1.7 million. Chicken Pox Hits County A chicken pox epidemic has hit Fauquier County elementary schools. Three schools in the northern arid central part of the county reported more than 120 cases of the childhood disease while southern Fauquier principals reported few, in any cases. Caused by a viral infection, chicken pox must run its course and of ten parents can do no more than make its victims comfortable. But Dr. John Einarson, regional health director for the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District, cautioned parents to have their children evaluated at the onset of the disease to be sure “you’re dealing with chicken pox.” More serious ailments — bacterial infections and pneumonia — can develop from feverish conditions, he said.

By BIRGITT THORNHILL Extension Agent Have you noticed that orange juice, your long-time favorite breakfast drink, is escalating in price? Have you figured out why? The Florida freeze is being blamed for rising orange juice costs, states Eva Woofter, marketing specialist with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Juice prices will increase due to the loss of the Florida oranges, but never fear, turn your thoughts to switching to another favorite, Virginia apple juice! Sixty percent of Virginia’s annual apple crop goes into processed apple products. Virginia apple juice is often overlooked by consumers as a great breakfast drink alternative. Did you know that Virginia apple juice has no added sugar? The taste is natural and the sweetness comes from the fruit sugar of the apple. Apple juice is naturally nutritious and has about the same calories as orange juice. Apple juice can be used in a variety of ways to liven up your favorite food or beverage. Be adventurous! Use apple juice over favorite fruit slices; use in gelatin instead of cold water; combine with pineapple juice for a fruity punch; add apple juice to oatmeal with a bit of cinnamon for a new “appley” taste; apple up fruit salads with a masterful dressing of equal parts apple juice and mayonnaise; use apple juice concentrate as an easy glaze for turkey, ham or chicken; mix sour cream and apple juice with finely chopped herbs to make a tasty dip for raw vegetables; prepare corn muffins, biscuits, breads, rolls, pancakes, waffles and omelets using apple juice instead of the usual liquid or thicken apple juice with cornstarch, cool and fold into whipped topping with finely chopped fruits and nuts for a sophisticated apple parfait dessert. So, start your day with apple juice or even better, serve it cold any time of the day. To help you make the “switch,” here is a VDACS recipe you can try. Gingered Apple Cider 1 red Virginia apple, cored and sliced crosswise 1 cup lemon juice (juice of about 6 lemons) 1/2 gallon Virginia apple juice or cider, chilled 1/2 cup sugar 1 bottle (32-oz.) ginger ale, chilled Ground cinnamon Dip apple slices in lemon 'juice to coat and set aside. In chilled punch bowl or pitcher, combine apple juice, remaining lemon juice and sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves. Just before serving, add ginger ale. Sprinkle apple slices with cinnamon. Float on top of punch. Serve over ice, if desired. Federal Dollars Return Home The next time you find yourself engaged in- discussing the belabored subject of how much tax you are paying, consider the following good news: Last year the Federal Government distributed 55.5 million pounds of USDA donated foods in Virginia. The value of that donation exceeded $46.5 million dollars. Those are Federal tax dollars that have returned to Virginia to supply quality foods to schools, institutions, elderly feeding programs, day care centers, summer camps and social service agencies. This represented a daily assisted feeding of 570,000 Virginians. Here’s more good news: In supplying USDA donated foods to needy Virginians, the Federal Government purchased $22.4 million dollars worth of food products from Virginia firms. In other words, almost half of the tax dollars used to feed Virginia’s school children and needy were spent buying Virginia products. Even more encouraging is the amount of Virginia commodities being purchased for distribution in 1985. Almost 3.5 million dollars in turkey products has already been purchased during the first months of the new fiscal year. Other popular Virginia food commodities being purchased by the Federal Government are: apple products, canned tomatoes, flour and peanut butter. So, feel good Virginians; not only are your tax dollars providing a much needed service supplying needy individuals with nutritious meals, those same Federal tax dollars are indirectly generating jobs and boosting the economy of Virginia.

Bird has been fanning with his father, Lee, for 10 years ever since he graduated from college with a degree in environmental science. “I’ve been learning farming by doing, but I did learn about the land, like geology and ecology, in college,” Bird said. One of the basic premises of biological farming is to build rich soil so that the soil can be used to produce good crops. “We don’t use any herbicides to control' weeds,” Bird said. “We cultivate for row crops like com.” The Birds farm about 250 acres in all, and they have a herd of Angus/Hereford cattle. Bird uses no insecticides since the chemicals can be carried over to crops and meat products. “Our major insect problems are with the cattle, and they’re just tolerated,” Bird said. “Putting insecticides on the cattle can lead to the multiplication of the toxic substances in the food chain until ultimately humans take in the chemicals.” The main idea behind biological agriculture is to produce pure, non-toxic foods by using natural methods of fertilizing crops, controlling weeds and feeding livestock. Most of the fertilization needs of the farm are filled by using compost, a mixture using cow manure. Compost is the fertilizer most favored by Bird since it is produced and used on the farm. Compost is low in1 phosphate, so Bird utees a fertilizer made of fossilized seashells in combination with the compost. For the first time, Bird is also using an organic fertilizer that is green sand, seaweed and tankage. Tankage is the cattle’s blood that is drained from the floors of slaughter houses. “All of this does the land good and increases the fertility of the land from year to year,” Bird said. The toxic substances in chemical fertilizers have too many potential side effects for Bird to use them. “Chemical fertilizers kill all of the earthworms in a field, and the earthworm is the farmer’s best friend,” Bird said. “The earthworms break up hard pans and make the soils better and more porous.” Bird admits that the yields from biological farming are not as great at times, but he said that it all equals out since the costs are much less due to the use of the compost, or home raised fertilizer. “Last year, we raised 15 tons of corn per acre, and that’s respectable,” Bird said. “We only spent $30 an acre for fertilizer, though, and that fertilizes the com, the small grain put in after the com and then the hay.” Developing healthy soil is the main goal of all biological farmers. “I believe that the major life on earth happens underground with bacteria and other organisms, and that that life is threatened by the chemicals being used on the land,” Bird said. “By having healthy soil, you’ll have a healthy plant and then a healthy animal.” The healthy environment created by biological farming reduces disease problems. “Chemicals alter the natural balance and that forces the farmer to have to take over and provide what the land can’t provide for itself anymore,” Bird said. For feed, Bird uses hay and silage. Bird’s silage is made up of whole com plants that have been packed in trenches and have fermented. Bird feeds the silage to his horses, too, but only the best of the silage that has no mold. The Birds market their products in a retail system. “The major group of people we market to are people that can’t stand any unnatural substances because they have what is known as ecological illness,” Bird said. “These are the kind of people who can’t live in a house with plywood in it because the glue makes them ill.” Bird said that the illnesses or allergies can be caused by an auto immune trauma when the body is basically attacking itself. “The symptoms are similar to flu without the nasal implications,” Bird Wildlife Head Seeks Awareness Of Environment By LAWRENCE EMERSON Democrat Staff Writer His organization includes hunters, garden club members, off-road vehicle enthusiasts and game biologists. The Virginia Wildlife Federation has an eclectic membership whose common concerns are management and protection of the state’s wildlife and environment, says Dr. James R. Branscome, a Hume resident and a 7th District director of the federation. (Virginia Wildlife Federation districts correspond with the state’s 10 congressional districts.) Dr. Branscome, a retired U.S. Navy chemical engineer, says environmental quality is deteriorating. “The National Wildlife Federation each year publishes a state of the ecology report which includes eight to 10 categories such as air, soil, water, wildlife, forest and so forth. By and large the quality is down in most categories.” How has the situation changed since the “ecology-flag” days of the 1960s and early ’70s? ‘I think there’s a lot more awareness among people as a whole,” Dr. Branscome says. “But I’m not sure that is correcting the problem.” He believes organizations such as the Virginia Wildlife Federation and the National Wildlife Federation can help. Both are strong lobbying forces in Richmond and Washington, respectively, he says. And both non-profit, tax-exempt organizations are seeking new members to enhance their financial resources and political clout. Dr. Branscome says he’s willing to talk with any individual or group interested in full or affiliate membership. Other organizations such as garden clubs or sportsmen’s clubs may get affiliate memberships in the VWF for $1 per member, he says. No Fauquier County club is yet officially affiliated with the Wildlife Federation, although he believes many local groups share its goals and would be interested, Dr. Branscome says. The Virginia Wildlife Federation’s primary objectives, according to its policy, include: • Educating the public about conservation. The National Wildlife Federation’s theme this year is “Soil: We Can’t Grow Without It.” The national organization has distributed more than 9,000 education kits to schools across the nation. • Cooperating with “agencies or organizations, public or private, that concern themselves with the sound management and wise use of our natural resources.” • Influencing elected and appointed officials. The organization pushes for qualified personnel to fill all such positions. • Conserving resources while allowing “the broadest possible use consistent with the general health of the the resource and its permanent preservation for present and future generations, and the high quality of each user’s experience.” Dr. Branscome says the federation is not as radical as organizations such as the Sierra Club, which opposes intensive uses and management of natural resources. The Wildlife Federation, for example, believes hunting — and in this area, doe hunting — is necessary to properly manage an exploding deer population.

The trauma can be caused by sudden or prolonged exposure to a chemical that triggers a reaction in the person. People who suffer from the illness have formed clinical ecology groups across the nation. “They say that they are allergic to the 20th century,” Bird said. “We advertise in their newsletters and journals and take mail orders.” Sufferers of ecological illness are not the only purchasers of the Birds’ products. “We market to anyone who wants the products,” Bird said. “There are a lot of people who like the idea of eating clean, non-toxic foods.” Bird not only likes the idea of eating non-toxic foods, he also likes the idea of working on a biological farm. “It’s important to me to farm this way because it scares me to think of how toxic most chemicals are,” Bird said. “It is illogical to think that anything that turns the ground brown won’t do anything to you.” Bird said that he has a friend who wears an oxygen mask and rain gear when he sprays his apples, and still he is concerned that the chemical can find its way to his skin. “It makes me feel good to know that I don’t have to worry about that because I don’t use any chemicals, ” Bird said. rani LIVESTOCK BCBMSE INCORPORATED Regular Sales Every Tues.

This picture illustrates what hard work has done for the Historical Society Building on Gay Street. Historical Society Proud Of Past, Looking To Future By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock Historical Society officially formed in 1965 when a group of people got together and saved the old telephone company office building from being torn down. That effort was just the beginning for the group of people who continue to strive to preserve Rappahannock’s past. The Virginia Telephone and Telegraph office building was special to the group because it had been one of the outbuildings to Avon Hall before the house was moved. The telephone company deeded a comer of their lot to the group and then funds had to be raised so the building could be moved. The one-time outbuilding/shoe shop/telephone office became the property of the Historical Society after it was moved, and the real work began. “It was in very bad shape with holes in the roof, broken windows and rough brick for W’alls on the inside,” said Virginia Lindstrom. Lindstrom was the president of the Historical Society during the time when the building was being renovated. With little money, but a plentiful supply of dedication and dreams, the Rappahannock family is filed, and referred to when the Society receives SATELLITE T V $1,095 703 937-4976 group began to work on the building. “The building was originally built from bits and pieces left over from other buildings so no two windows were the same,” Lindstrom said. This made the building unique, but it also made for major problems in the renovation. “We had to be very careful about ordering anything for the building, and we still do,” Lindstrom said. Due to men like Omar Stoltzfus, who donated time and talent to the effort, the building was restored and is now being used by the Society. “There are still stains on the main room’s floor from the acid that was used to operate the telephones, and the holes from the cables,” Lindstrom said. “We couldn’t get them out, but we wouldn’t want to because it adds to the building’s history.” The building was furnished with the old furniture from the county clerk’s office, and with the original benches from the Methodist Church in Flint Hill. After restoring the building to a more useable state, the Society could begin to-concentrate more on collecting historical data. “In the last six to seven years, many people have donated many Rappahannock artifacts to us,” said Society member Helen Holschuh. The Society now has 500 family name files catalogued and many books. The oldest document that the Society is preserving is the Duncan Store ledger from 1802. Holschuh said that the Society has a theory that the store was in the Laurel Mills area, but that the location can not be proven. “We are trying to get as many old documents or information from the older residents of the county as possible so that we can preserve as much of the history as possible,” Holschuh said. “Sometimes we only find out about documents or information through word of mouth.” The Society’s valuable documents are copied so that people can see and handle the copies instead of the originals. The Society is also working on cemetery inventories, or gathering information of who is buried where.

RAPPAHANNOCK FARMERS CO-OP Sperryville, Va. 987-8555 questions from people seeking to trace their geneaology. “We welcome any old family papers, Bibles, memoirs or information from anyone in the county,” Holschuh said. Cathy Knuepfer, a Society member, pointed out that the Society will help people looking for information, but will not do the searching involved in geneaology. “We go through the records we have, and then we tell the people about the clerk’s office and other sources of information,” Knuepfer said. The Society is interested in Rappahannock’s recent past as well as older information. “History is yesterday, and it doesn’t have to be 200 years old for us to be interested in it,” Holschuh said. The Society keeps records on the schools, churches and businesses in the county, and information is saved by clipping obituaries and marriage notices from the newspaper. Another project the Society is working on is researching the canal that was operated from Waterloo to Fredericksburg on the Rappahannock - River for 50 years in the 1800s. Hols'••.chuh has also done oral histories by taping interviews with some of the older residents of the county. Files on old homes in the county are also kept by the Society. All of this work has to be done on a shoestring budget since the only funds the Society receives are the members’ dues and donations. The Society has been conducting a fund raiser project that involves selling the bricks on the front of the Society’s building for a dollar per brick. The bricks are numbered, and a record is kept of each sale on drawing of the building. The Society has about 100 members, and the dues are $6 for an individual, $10 for a couple and $3 for students. The regular meetings are held on the first Friday in February, May and August when the members hear speakers and conduct their business. Some of the goals for the Society’s future include a bathroom in the building, a wing added on to the building for office space so the front can be used solely for a museum, a computer to put all of the information on, a telephone and more furnishings like display cases. “Right now I just want to get everything organized and keep the basement dry so we don’t have to move everything in wet weather,” Knuepfer said. “I also want to get more information and verify it.” A love of history keeps the Society’s members going despite the frustrations of not being able to do all that they would like to. “I’ve worked so hard for the Historical Society because I think that it is a worthy cause, and besides it’s fun,” Lindstrom said.

Herndon’s Mascot Pig Dies Octuplets bom recently to Hemdon’s unofficial mascot, Elvira the pig, are orphans this week. Elvira, owned by Fred Martin of Martin’s Auto Body, died suddenly over the weekend. Martin had kept Elvira at his shop, and she had become a familiar face to many Herdonites. Once, she left the shop to join in a Herndon parade, and her owner says people had stopped by just to see her. Sally Cunningham and Roman Hunt lead the field in the Rappahannock Hunt old-fashioned Roman Hunt Wins By CLIVE CARNIE Democrat Staff Writer Rappahannock Hunt huntsman Oliver Brown’s Roman Hunt was obviously the horse to beat in Sunday’s old-fashioned point-to-point race in Rappahannock. Instead of going their own separate ways over the approximately fourmile course the eight other horses in the field followed the 10-year-old J. Hunt gelding as he charged around the course as if it were a regular timber race. “I wanted to do that (set the pace),” his jockey, Sally Cunningham, said afterwards. “The first part of the race was twisty-tumy and I wanted to rate him through the woods. It’s hard to rate when you’re behind another horse so I wanted to get to that first jump first.” Roman Hunt reached every jump first as he led from start to finish over the rugged rain-soaked course at John Lyle’s Ben Venue farm. Neither the woods on the course, nor the imposing brick walls or pipeline fences fazed Ms. Cunningham and Roman Hunt as the pair set a blistering pace at the front of the field. After the first fence, over two large pipes, the field began to spread out considerably as it headed toward the fust of two flags the riders had to round before they could finish the race. Coming back over the pipe fence Roman Hunt led again followed by only half of the field this time. Crossing in front of the few spectators on the rainy day, Roman Hunt leaped a pair of telegraph poles and then swooped down a steep hill to clear an imposing stone wall at the bottom. Here the race had its only casualty as Susan Norwood and Cappuccino met the wall almost head on and parted company. Fortunately neither was hurt though Ms. Norwood was further shaken up when one of the following horses jumped over her. Meanwhile Homan Hunt continued to set the pace closely followed by Dawn Dugan on Sharp Start and Nelson Gunnell on Tregaron. Rounding the second flag and heading back to the finish line Roman Hunt led by about two lengths as he jumped the stone wall behind Mr. Lyle’s house. Climbing the hill beyond the stone wall and jumping over the telegraph poles Ms. Dugan’s valiant little pony made a bid for the lead. But as Roman Hunt cleared the final fence and eyed the finish line about a quarter of a mile off he surged forward in an effort that neither of his two challengers could match. Drawing clear by some eight lengths, Roman Hunt won easily despite being eased in the final yapds. The winner’s time for the race was 11:35 minutes. It was a spectacular victory in a spectacular race for Ms. Cunningham and her competitive mount who also won the Mary D. Slaughter open timber race at Rappahannock three weeks ago. “I’m very pleased with the way he went,” said Ms. Cunningham after the race. “He was so rateable. I could slow him for the turns and open him up in the straights. “He’s a big-striding fast horse when you open him up. He really showed he had the distance today. To have that finish was just great.” Ms. Cunningham also won the Rappahannock old-fashioned last year over a slightly different course and on a different horse, also owned by Mr: Brown. Ms. Dugan and Sharp Start were second closely followed by Mr. Gunnell and Tregaron. Finishing in fourth place, a distance behind, was Bobby Green of Casanova riding Honey Dunce. Mr. Green failed to circle the second flag on the backside of the course and was disqualified, however. This left fourth place open to Lanny Simmons of Amissville on George. Ms. Simmons won the Warrenton old-fashioned two weeks ago and currently leads the four-race series by one point over Ms. Cunningham and Roman Hunt. — Democrat Staff Ptaota/Clive Caraie ASNAPPER FORALL SEASONS Sometimes it's a lawn mower, sometimes it’s not.

Mailman Is Perfect Driver, But Says ‘I Still Make Mistakes Getting Mail In The Boxes’ By JANE BANGLEY ■aMshaauiKh New* Staff Writer Edward Brown has been a rural mail carrier for the Sperryville Post Office for nearly 30 years. In that time, he has never had a reportable accident even after his route increased from 22 to 71 miles a day. A driving record like that is something to be proud of, but as Brown tells of his driving awards he is quick to say that he still makes mistakes. “I have had some people on my route ask me if I can read,” Brown said. When Brown began working as a rural carrier, jobs with the postal service were political appointments. “I had thought about being a rural carrier, and I knew that it was a good job so I set my sights on it,” Brown said. “I applied for it and told some people that I would like to have the job. ” Brown’s party came into power, and he was appointed to the job. “When the party changed, everyone would lose their jobs although I only saw that happen once,” Brown said. That never happened to me before the postal service was changed so that appointments weren’t made anymore.” Brown has kept his job as long as he has because of his excellent work. A typical day for Brown lasts from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and he begins by casing the mail or sorting it according to the box numbers. After the mail has been sorted, Brown separates each box number’s mail and places it in trays according to its order on the route. “My route is in and around Sperryville, to Nethers, Slate Mills, Culpeper County and Mad ison County, and then I retrace back to Sperryville through Jenkins Hollow,” Brown said. “The roads are pretty much the same as when I started, but I used to get finished around noon when it was 22 miles a day. ” Brown delivers approximately 800 pieces of mail a day, so it is no wonder that at times the wrong mail is placed in a box. There have been no mistakes as far as Brown’s driving is concerned. Despite hazardous winter roads and the problems when the back roads begin to thaw in the spring, Brown has never had more than a fender bender while on duty. “I remember once a woman said, The roads are so bad that the only one who can get through is the rural carrier’,” Brown said. Brown is the only rural carrier for the Sperryville Post Office, and he drives his own car to make deliveries. He receives a payment based on his mileage.. Brown has also received awards for his driving record. He received the Expert Driver 20 Year Award and he was named the Driver of the Month when he had 27 years of experience. “If I make it to July without an accident, I’ll get the Million Mile Award for Safe Driving,” Brown said. After he earns that award, Brown said that he plans to retire as soon as the weather begins to get cold again. “I could change my mind,” Brown said. And after 30 years of driving, what does Brown plan to do when he retires? “I’ve got a little camper, and I want to try to get on the road some,” Brown said. Things to do in April The Milky Way almost passes from sight during April and sets early in the evening. New constellations begin to appear in the spring skies — Corona the crown, Hercules solid Libra low in the east in the early evening. The moon has seven coiyunctions with planets this month, a number surpassed in 1986 only during October. Daylight Savings Time resumes April 28. Add one hour at 2 a.m. on the 28th. Plant cool season crops as early as the weather permits. Transplant cool season crops into the garden. Carry on the spray program for fruits. Check the lawn mower for any needed repairs. Sharpen and balance the mower blades before using the machine.

Fine fees Game management areas, habitat improvement provided in Virginia by sportsmen s licenses This week the bluebirds began nesting, the geese started their northern migration, herring moved into the southern Virginia coastal rivers and the purple martins arrived. Why is this of interest to us? Well, we’re all partly responsible for the continuing return of all those species. No, not through donations to “Save the Bluebirds,” but largely through the purchase of hunting and fishing licenses. A major portion of all fees collected from the sale of licenses goes into land acquisition for game management areas and for habitat improvement. Both land acquisition and habitat improvement provide additional nesting grounds for birds and more stable streamside cover for fish and wildlife, with clearer and less toxic water entering streams. We should all be proud of the vested public lands that are made available, not only to hunters and fishermen, but to birdwatchers, backpackers, canoeists, rockhounds, rock climbers, even picnickers. State funds from the sale of licenses and federal funds from the sale of Duck Stamps and the Pittman-Robertson tax that is applied to all hunting equipment, such as guns, bows, ammo, etc., helped to make these public lands possible. Just a few decades ago we were using DDT and destroying wildlife left and right. Then, it was kepone in the James, mercury in the Shenandoah, PCBs dumped unceremoniously anywhere there was a dump, even places that weren’t dumps. Game and fish departments all across the country screamed the loudest, as it n their responsibility to protect our wildlife from us. The EPA and game and fish biologists sought out the sources and fought in our behalf to protect our wildlife, our water sources, fish and all the seemingly unimportant little critters that complete the food chain — the insects that the fish and birds feed on, the fish and birds that the raccoons and foxes feed on, etc. From the lowly lightning bug to the stately stag, each time we see these creatures of the wild, we should be grateful for the dedicated wildlife biologist, the EPA chemist, the fish and wildlife officer, and most of all the guy that pays the bill, the hunter and the fisherman. By now, all of the trout fishermen are readying their gear, tying flys, checking waders for leaks and trying to unglue all of last year’s plastic worms from the tackle box. . Reports are starting to trickle in about crappie catches, but this newest cold front will probably slow them down a little. Fishing tiny minnows 810 feet deep was the answer for some of the buys I’ve talked to this week, while chartruese grubs produced well for a couple of Loudoun County fishermen at Difficult Run. Crappie are fickle, and what you do well with one day, won’t get a nibble the next. Remember that trout season opens at noon Saturday, April 6. Without some additional rain between now and then, the trout will be super spooky with the relatively clear water, so dress in drab colors, or even camouflage clothing. Leave that bright yellow fishing hat at home and you’ll catch more fish. The Chickahominy River is pro Bob McMeans 439-8364 Outdoors ducing some excellent pickerel fishing and helps to take the edge off “cabin fever.” If the wind is blowing down the river, as it usually does in March, try some of the feeder creeks with lots of downed timber and logs lying in the water. As always, pickerel seem to hit best on Daredevil type spoons —red and white, black and white, and black and gold. Pickerel fishing is at or near its peak of springtime activity right now at Chickahominy. Buddy Whorton, of Rappahannock County, reports that he has been catching a few nice suckers, even with the low water conditions. Some of Buddy’s friends passed along some information on farm pond bass. They report some nice bass hitting early morning and late evening on live minnows and some minnow type plugs. We hope that rainy weekend will help to improve fishing in general. At a hunter safety course this weekend, Fauquier Game Warden Phil Parrish announced that this fall bowhunters will be required to purchase an archery license ($10 in addition to their regular license and big game stamps). The archery license will allow the bowhunter to take up to two additional deer during bow season. Up to a total of four deer may be taken in the upcoming season — two with arch ’>ry license and two with gun — in those counties that currently allow the taking of two deer, and only one in bow season and one in gun season in those counties with a one deer limit.

Baseball and Track Season Previews Coach Spieker, ‘Loves’ Determination In Athletes By JON KLAVERKAMP Rappahannock News Staff Writer Thirteen years ago Ann Spieker founded the girls track team at Rappahannock High School. Why say anything more? People who found towns are known simply as “founders of towns” and that is achievement enough to secure them a place in history. Same goes for founders of track teams. Well, why shouldn’t it? What is the founding of a town compared to the founding of a track team? You're absolutely right: nothing. People gladly settle in a town. The founder just stands there on Main Street — which in fairness he may have built — and welcomes people to the community. So what? Try founding a track team. Try convincing 75 young men and women that it is in their interest to do one, two, maybe three of the following: • lug a ball of iron around and constantly shove it into the air • throw regularly the heaviest frisbee in the world • vault to dangerous heights like a guinea pig shot out of cannon • run dreadfully long distances until almost sick • run terribly short distances at breakneck speeds until almost dead • risk high speed collisions with hurdles 7 or 8 times within 100 meters. Get this last one. As if to mock fear and laugh at danger, the idea is to come as close as Place a match between the arrows and read to yourself. 4 Publii Sen-tee of This Siewspaper & The Adierttsinj Council_ possible to colliding with the hurdle yet not touch it. Sounds like fun, huh? And here’s the clincher. Try telling the young men and women that they are supposed to perform these feats three months out of the year, five days a week, for two hours a day. Good news, folks. The dirty work has been done. Spieker got about 7E people to do all those things. That’s why it’s enough to say she founded the track team and leave it at that. Oh, another thing. Spieker also has coached for 13 years, ever since founding the team. That’s an E for effort and a U for unbelievable. Last year Spieker was named head coach of both the girls and the boys teams. Both teams were undefeated in the regular season. Not bad. Question. What does she do for an encore? Can the team go undefeated again? “I hope so,” she said. “Those kids work hard. I’m really pleased with the attitude and determination of the whole team.” Spieker said the team was fortunate to have some very talented newcomers. “They should do real well.” She gave the following rundown of returning talent. In the shot and the discus Donna Williams, Connie Compton and Wendy Stringfield “should do very well. They’re already putting the shot over 30 feet.” A girl from Strasburg probably will be their only competition. In the long jump Kathryn Davis is the “returning power.” She placed last year. Kelly Bristol and Anita DelGrosso both are returning letterwomen in the hurdles. This season will feature a new event: 300 meter low hurdles. The hurdles in the 100 meter event will be raised to intermediate height (33') rather than the traditional low height (30'). Distance runner Karen Ludwick, who went to the region meet last year in the one and two mile events, is a bright prospect this year. Middle distance runner Denice Eidson is a hopeful in 400 meters. In sprints Kathryn Davis and Shannon Watton “look good” as returning letterwomen. M WILKINS' SHOECINTE Naturalizer Style... We have it IN YOUR SIZE!

For the men, David Fischbein has unproved his pole vaults by .at least one foot over last year’s. Ronnie Atkins and Ricky Shaw, senior distance runners, “look real good.” Jonathan Watson and Bobby Ludwick, who showed improvement in crosscountry in the fall, “should help with the distance events in track.” An excellent relay team returns, Garri Jackson, Terry Jordan, Wayne Woodard, and Jeff Fudd - all lettermen. Jimmy Freeman will run the high and intermediate hurdles. Putting the shot and heaving the discus will be Mathew Frye and Troy Jordan. James Dennis will compete in the high jump. Coach Spieker also praised her two assistant coaches. Eugene Grigsby, a state competitor from Rappahannock, coaches in the sprints, long jump and triple jump. Tim Williams of Rappahannock returns as coach in the shot and discuss. “He was an excellent coach last year. ” The track season opens on April 2 against Manassas Park and Stonewall. Meet time will be 3:45 at Stonewall. The team practices from 3:30 to 5:00 everyday after school. They must work very hard because Coach Spieker seems to mean it when she says “I love the determination in those athletes.” Rappahannock News Photo/Jon Klaverkamp Jeff Porter winds up before hurling a fast ball over the plate. Coach Dawson Predicts Winning Season By JON KLAVERKAMP Rappahannock News Staff Silence please. Coach Dawson is about to name the top four baseball teams in the league. Drum roll. Suspense. Okay, here goes: “Page County, George Mason, Manassas Park,” and, and....yes, and, you guessed it, “Rappahannock County.” Oh, and not in that order. The Coach obviously is confident about his team’s ability to compete against all others. “This year we have a good chance to make the regionals, but we’ll have to play extremely well.” Dawson said the team to beat will be Manassas Park. “They’ve got two or three professional prospects.” But he’s not counting his own team out. Just ask him what he thinks of his hitters "I wouldn’t trade my top five batters for any in the district. They’re pretty clutch hitters.” Now ask the Coach about his pitching. “They should be the strongest pitching corps ever (at Rappahannock). We have one of the best pitchers (Jeff Porter) in the State.” As a pitcher he was 2nd team all-district each of the last two years. What about fielding? “The whole infield is back from last year.” They have experience and they’re looking good, the Coach said. “Our fielding will be pretty strong.” One reason is Chucky Jenkins who returns as catcher and has started in that position since his freshman year. Last year the Panthers had a record of 5 - 7 in the district (tying for third) and 8-9 overall. This year Dawson said his team will need at least a 9 - 3 or 10 - 4 season to make the playoffs. That’s because “the other teams are so good.” He predicted that “the winner of the district won’t have more than two losses.” More than anything else, Dawson is counting on the experience of his starters to win ball games. Seven starters are back who have started for the past two years, and only two are seniors. So the team is in the unique position of being experienced as well as young. Dawson said the team’s greatest strength will be hitting. “We hit well last year and we keep improving.” The first five batters haven’t changed: Leading off is H.B. Wood (second base), then Mike Atkins (shortstop), Rob Brown (center/left field), Jeff Porter (pitcher/center field/infield), and Chucky Jenkins (catcher). The rest of the lineup is as follows: Tommy Jenkins (leftfield/pitcher), Craig Williams (third base), Tater Williams (first base), Thomas Williams (right field/pitcher), Greg Smith (infield/pitcher), Richie Dodson (left field), Rodney Grimsley (outfield), Tommy Gaines (outfield), Jimmy Fincham (right field). Porter is one of the team’s leaders. Not only did he make 2nd team all-district as a pitcher last year, he also made 1st team all-district and 1st team all-region as an outfielder. He has hit over 400 in each of his last two years. What did the Coach have to say about Porter’s pitching? “Of the 14 games the Panthers have won in the past two years, Porter has won 10.” That speaks for itself. “The whole team is playing well together,” Dawson said. “Everyone gets along. The older players are helping the younger players along.” Injuries could really hurt the team because there is little depth on the bench. After all, there are only 14 players on the team. Dawson just said plainly “We can’t have any injuries.” If the team’s pitching is on (meaning if Jeff Porter and Tommy Jenkins can throw strikes), Dawson thinks “we can beat anyone — we can score three to four runs on anyone in the district.”' The team has been practicing everyday after school from 3:30 to 5:15 in preparation for its first game against William Monroe, which was yesterday (March 27). This article was written before the game so no results are reported. Two of the eight teams in the district will go to the regionals at the end of the regular season. Eat ’em up, Panthers.

They Got The Jump On Spring With Manure-Heated Gold Frame By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New« Contributing Writer Outfitted with peat pots and vermiculite, early seed varieties and flats, gardeners join the annual race to bring in a crop of spring greens. To the victor goes the honor of tossing the first salad of homegrown lettuce or spinach, sometimes weeks before neighboring vegetable farmers have even sewn their Black Seed Simpson. But this year’s race, at least in Rappahannock County, is no contest. A communal garden worked by Sid and Margaret Gottlieb and Bob and Sylvia Gowell of Blackwater Homestead near Boston is already producing lettuce, cabbage, cress, and radishes. In fact, they’ve had salad greens all winter long, grown in a manure-heated cold frame. The very tips of the lettuce leaves were nipped when the mercury plummeted to minus 12 degrees, but otherwise the winter garden has flourished in spite of record-breaking cold spells. Vegetables in Blackwater’s communal garden are normally grown in raised beds, 20 feet long by four feet wide. The two cold frames fit over a single raised bed .with four feet of leftover space separating the two sections. “The length of the cold frames was dictated by the size of exolite panel we thought we could handle easily,” Sid Gottlieb explained. The exolite in the cold frame is the same glass-like material used for the windows in the passive solar home at Blackwater Homestead. It admits both heat and ultraviolet rays. “For ease of handling, we decided on panels eight feet long,” Gottlieb said. The width — four feet — matches the width of the raised beds in the garden. Encased in two by fours, the exolite panels fit on top of housing that slopes from 18 inches high in the rear to nine inches in the front. Both the top and the housing are edged with a strip of felt weather proofing. When the top of the cold frame is closed, the two felt layers meet, forming an airtight seal. . “For the design, I put together three or four different ideas. So it’s sort of my own,” Gottlieb said. “But it’s not an original. There are no original ideas anymore. Everything’s been thought of in one form or another.” Fresh Manure Added To prepare the bed for the first planting, the soil is dug out to a depth of 18 inches with care taken so as not to disturb the natural top-to-bottom striation. One foot of fresh, wet manure is added, then six inches of soil put back on top. “The manure should be really fresh,” Gottlieb emphasized. “Preferably from a bam cleaned that day.” As the manure ferments, it generates warmth. It also puts fertilizer in the root zone. In Blackwater’s cold frames, the first crop is planted in early October. “The seeds germinate faster then and by the time cold weather arrives we have a lush growth,” noted Margaret Gottlieb. A second planting goes in in mid-February. “And that will keep us in greens until the garden starts producing,” she added. Plants in the cold frame are generally watered once a week, getting a thorough soaking. With the foot of manure giving off nutrients as well as heat, no additional fertilizer is needed, and there has been no problem with disease or insects in the cold frames. This year, the third for the cold frames, the Blackwater gardeners are growing Bib, Oakleaf and Black Seeded Simpson lettuce, Chinese cabbage, radishes, garden cress, chard and roquette. “We tried parsley and carrots. They didn’t take but we’ll probably try again,” Margaret said, adding that spinach managed to make it through most of the winter in the garden and so wasn’t planted in the cold frames. In April, the exolite panels are stored and winter’s cold frame bed becomes temporary home for tomato seedlings. “We start tomatoes from seed in the house and then around May 1 we transplant them to the cold frame bed. That way, if we get a late frost, we can protect them. Then we move the tomatoes to the garden around May 15,” Gottlieb said. Each year, the cold frame with its foot of fresh manure is rotated to a new raised bed. “The process adds tremendously to soil fertility,” said Gottlieb. “It’s one rich shot for a garden.” Reprinted, with permission from Virginia Biological Farmer Sunday Hebrews 10:1-4 Monday Romans 12:1-2 Tuesday Genesis 22:4-8 Wednesday Exodus 12:21-24 Thursday John 11:47-50 Friday John 12:23-26 Saturday Romans 8:6-10 now, in tne quiet years, he has a chance to put the finishing touches on that schooner. When a man’s working with his hands, he has time for some thinking, for some looking back. Our aged friend has a good many years to look back over—some of them good, some bad. But, through all of them, there’s been one steady, continuing force, like a thread of steel woven through the pattern of his life. This force has been the thread of faith—a faith that is sustained and strengthened when a man devotes great time and energy to the Church and its mission. Mow in "the quiet years” he can look back over what has been—he can rejoice because he is able to review a life full of devotion. You see, it is all-important to be able to review the right kind of life. Don’t wait. Start going to church now. Copyright 1985. Keister-Williams Newspaper Service P O. Box 8005. Charlottesville.

All Yginia Guard Unit To Attend Training As alt of a highly successful pilot programed out last summer, the Virgiirmy National Guard is now formi “Buddy Platoon” basic training iconsisting of newly-enlisted Vir Guardsmen from infantry units er the Commonwealth. This ip will stay together throughoie full nine and a half week proog and basic training cycle from J12 through August 17 at Fort BemGeorgia. Accoj to Lieutenant Colonel Lloyd Sccecruiting and Retention Manager fie Virginia Army National Gu experience has shown that the so-called “buddy platoon” concept creates strong bonds among new Guardsmen, dramatically increasing their morale and training effectiveness, while dropping the “washout” rate significantly below Armywide averages. “We like to think that being Virginians has a lot to do with how well our young men perform,” LTC Scott said. “They get together and work as a ' team to help each other beginning their first day as a platoon. Drill instructors tell us that they can see a difference right away.” Hnting With The Rapahannock Hunt Clive Camie The Inside Rail Got ut after six — difficult after being 11:30 a.m. Monday and a long day lay. Wheidy drove out to Rappahannock. meet was at Thornton Hill Famne farm where the hunt had theiies almost three weeks ago. Got tabout 8:30 a.m., nobody about. At I thought maybe it was the wronge. My fwere needless and temporary, her, as soon the first couple of trabegan to come in. I waag lent a horse by Billy Dodson, a>per-in for the hunt. The horse’s naras Bay Commander and it was abo.2 hands. It was a very nice horsnfortable, good gaits and fast. Very He thought he was in a 3-mile tin race the whole time, I think. He j»d beautifully though. Never hetd, always cleared everything easnd jumped so smoothly you bareldt. All ofdden after going down a steep hilloeside a river the jump came upo It was a couple of poles with a 1-L drop on the far side. I barely saas the master, Bernard Dahlgrenied it and my horse was right behim. I tried to slow him up a bit butiaid me no attention. I thought I a goner and would land in a heap e other side for sure... And we were sailing over it smooth aier and landed perfectly on the othle with barely a jiggle. After my confidence went up a lot. I will a bit hesitant at each jump the my horse lunged at them all, but hays jumped so well and I never har problems, so my fears were realcalled for. We jed some fairly respectable jumjo, all different heights and posit— though mostly coops. There wa off a gravel road with a little parsurb into a field that had barbed wver it — and coming out it was eworse jumping into the gravel roihich wasn’t too wide. We cdown to the race course at one pojming down off the mountain like imber fields do and over that fenceie foot of the hill before a tight left It wtually a lot easier than it looked ^spectator’s point of view — especiance the top rail had been removed, lidn’t make the turn and loop arouce the timber racers do — but weoped down through the culvert amiss the race course at a good clip, tounds got onto the road though, so they had to be turned around and v, 'au to go back and start again. That was one run and we had one other where we raced along across a field, over a rail alongside the river, over a coop and then onto a gravel road down to a field —with the coop leading from the road into the field — it was very exciting and thoroughly enjoyable. And when we weren’t running or were waiting the company was good to talk to. Near the end we stopped by the new kennels — still being built in an old converted bam at the side of the new race course — for some of the members to take a look. All in all it was a lot of fun. The Virginia Army National Guard buddy platoon is particularly' well suited for high school and college students who are looking for a challenging part time job that will not interfere with their schooling. Basic training fits conveniently into this year’s summer break, and Advanced training into the following summer. “With our $2,000 cash enlistment bonus, or $4,000 or more in educational assistance, plus the $1,200 they will earn during basic training, this is one of the best-paying part time jobs any student can possibly expect to find,” LTC Scott said. “And, it’s a real adventure for most of these young men,” he continued, “the Army does a great job of building them up gradually through physical training and tough soldiering, until they’re in better shape physically and mentally than they ever realized was possible.” To join the 1985 Virginia Buddy Flatodn, men between the ages of 17 and 34 must enlist in their local Virginia Army National Guard infantry unit before May 1, and be prepared to leave for Basic Training on June 12.

Eugene McCarthy Views The World (Continued from Page 1) “You have to be careful about memoirs. Anyone who’s retired from the Senate and defeated and has written his memoirs shouldn’t be consulted on any subject.’’ In other writing projects, McCarthy was asked by a Los Angeles newspaper to review the advance text of Nixon’s upcoming book No More Vietnams. Was the book any good? “It’s pretty miserable stuff.” Busy with a heavy writing schedule and some lecturing, McCarthy does not consider himself retired. Infact “I do all the things I used to do as a Senator except vote and eat a big lunch everyday.” Viewing The World As the discussion turned to U.S. r/i CAMPAIGN MARCH 1 - Apr 7, 1985 LAND & DWELLINGS NEW VA.

A passage from his essay Fourth of July—Rappahannock Reflections reveals more: “The goals set for this new political society (America) were uniquely different from those set in most documents asserting revolutionary goals. They were ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,’ not as separable goals, but as a trinity, interdependent and mutually sustaining and continuing.” Further more, “There was no promise or projection of completeness and absolute fulfillment, but rather a challenge to continuing effort and struggle. Life was promised, but within the context of liberty, a word which encompasses freedom and restraint.” Does Mr. McCarthy believe the present administration is enhancing the public’s ability to pursue happiness? Specifically, does he attribute the recent successes of the U.S. economy to the policies of President Reagan? Not really. Theres a lot of strength and force in this economy—in this system—which no administration can hurt very much. However,“...the lack of policy under Reagan has been somewhat better than the polices of Carter.” McCarthy prefers the type of “passive ineptitude” practiced by Reagan over the type formerly practiced by Carter. “He was kind of positively inept.” When asked about the prospects of Democratic presidential hopefuls, Mr. McCarthy became visibly bored. Which Democrat would he like to see as president?

PAID FOR AND AUTHORIZED BY THE RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE “Oh I don’t know—they’re so pathetic...” His thoughts in regard to the latest presidential election: “Walter had a bad time; he wasn’t really the victim of the party, the party was sort of the victim of Walter—not just Walter alone— but the things he had to defend were things he’d pretty much (always) been for.” So it wasn’t as if “he (Mondale) had inherited the Vietnam war” and had to defend it. “In this case the policies he advocated were the policies most under attack.” Turning his thoughts to U.S./Soviet relations and specifically to the Geneva arms talks, McCarthy pointed out the irony in such meetings between the superpowers. ‘We’re into it again; everytime we get into disarmament negotiations we wind up with some new weapons—they’re always introduced as bargaining chips... ” He complained, though, that whenever we get a weapon as a bargaining chip its production continues indefinitely. “They never stop producing them, they deploy them. Carter was going to disarm us in Salt II, and we wound up with the Cruise missile, the Neutron bomb” and almost the Mobile MX. “He wanted it but didn’t quite get it.” “Those are the three things that came out of the Carter disarmament conference,” McCarthy quipped. “Now Reagan is starting a disarmament conference and Congress has given him 21 MX missiles just to open the talks.” And “The Belgians have now deployed Cruise missiles, so that’s another move toward disarmament.” McCarthy concluded, somewhat satirically, that it might be better if we forsook disarmament talks altogether because then we would deploy far fewer missiles. “I’ve never known a bargaining chip that was thrown away after the conference.” When lecturing at LSU McCarthy responded as follows to a woman who insisted that bargaining chips were needed: “No, the Russians don’t even play poker, they don’t know what a bargaining chip is. We have to talk chess with them.” In his essay Of Arms, Chess and Poker McCarthy elaborates on this theme. “The difficulty in all of these negotiations is one of language, of metaphor. The Russians are not heavy into poker. In fact, I know of no Russian poker players. Their game is chess. Their images in international negotiations must certainly be drawn from their game.” » Two paragraphs later he advises that “Russians and Americans should, before undertaking further disarmament discussions, agree on common imagery. Possibly one meeting could be held in which all figures of speech had to be drawn from poker and another from chess. There would still be room for negotiation and misunderstanding, but some of the difficulties might be overcome. The vulnerable MX, instead of a ‘bargaining chip’ could be considered as a “pawn’ in chess.” McCarthy commented on the absurdity of trying to assess the impact of nuclear bombs. “In the Senate they used to imagine them in terms of Hiroshimas, a given bomb would do, say, 10 times as much as Hiroshima.” Then the kiloton was introduced to gauge the strength of a bomb because the number of Hiroshimas became too large. Soon after, however, “the kiloton number got so big that they switched to the megaton—so you had one megaton instead of 1000 kilotons,” McCarthy said. “You didn’t want to say 1000 kilotons, so you just had one megaton. The first number didn’t have to be so high.” He referred jokingly to the embarrassment of measuring a bomb’s strength to be 10 million Hiroshimas. “You have to switch into the ludicrous just to talk about it.” What about the probability of nuclear war? “You have to accept that it could happen, the potential is there,” McCarthy said. “I think we’ll get through the next century—you might get caught.” The former Senator said he never believed the concept of deterrence was valid. “It’s just something you talked about, nobody knew whether it would work or not.” McCarthy explained: “first they said we could deter the Russians if we could kill 20 percent of them—then that would be enough, we could stop the arms race once we got that capability.” But that soon changed. “In Salt II they said if we could get to where we could destroy each other 60 times over,” then that would be enough, that would constitute deterrence. If McCarthy doesn’t accept the concept of deterrence, then what about Star Wars? “Reagan says now we’ll develop something that will detect and destroy missiles, and if we get it, then we’ll give it to the Russians so that both sides share the technology for stopping nuclear weapons. Theoretically that’s the best way to stop nuclear war. McCarthy likened such a prospect to both sides reverting to their old cavalry—“You can’t get them across the ocean, so who cares, they’re not going anywhere.” The most serious question of Star Wars, he said, was whether or not it could be effective. The only thing Eugene McCarthy really misses about Congress is not being able to ask questions at some of the hearings. There are things he would like Defense Secretary Casper Weinberger to explain, namely his concept of strategic superiority. “What is it, how do you measure it, where did you get the idea- -and when did you begin to distinguish between conventional nuclear weapons and unconventional ones—when did that creep in?” The Defense Secretary not at his disposal, McCarthy continued his questioning in the company of a mere journalist. “We used to have conventional war and nuclear war, now we have conventional nuclear weapons. How old does a nuclear weapon have to be before it becomes conventional, even though you haven’t used it?” At that point the hearing adjourned and the Senators shuffled off to lunch. School Budget (Continued from Page 1 ) budget to make sure that all line items had been approved. Updike said that he wondered about the need to increase the professional improvement category again to cover the funds that will be needed if an employee is granted sabbatical leave. Updike pointed out that an employee from any level could request and be granted a sabbatical and would then be paid half of his or her yearly salary. Funds would also have to be budgeted in to cover the salary for that employee’s replacement, Updike said. “I recommend increasing that figure from $14,000 to $20,000 so that it will be there to draw from,” Updike said. The Board approved the motion. The Board determined that all other items in the budget had been taken care of. The Board then approved the 1986-86 school budget as it had been worked out in the two sessions. Before adjourning, Massie thanked the members of the audience and others who have voiced their opinions on the budget. “We have encouraged input, and we hope that you will support the School Board with the Board of Supervisors,” Massie said. The Board then went into executive session to consider personnel matters. The Board’s next meeting will be on April 9. * PALM SUNDAY MARCH AI DAVID L.

Horse Center Bill LEXINGTON — Six years of studying, planning and lobbying by state government and horse industry officials culminated Friday when Gov. Charles S. Robb signed a bill establishing the Virginia Horse Center. Almost 4,000 people, among them students from Parry McCluer High School in Buena Vista and Lexington High School, crowded into Virginia Military Institute’s Cameron Hall to witness the bill signing. “In my entire service as governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia I don’t think I’ve had this many people witness a bill signing,” Gov. Robb told the crowd. “This is a great day. It’s a great day for the horse industry in Virginia. “This center is important to the horse industry of Virginia. It will also make an important contribution to the tourist and travel industry in the state. “I would predict to you that within four short years when people talk about horses and they talk about Lexington they’re going to be talking about Lexington, Virginia — not that other Lexington” (in Kentucky). Lobbying for a Virginia Horse Center began in 1969, but no real steps were taken until 1979 when the General Assembly established a joint legislative subcommittee headed by Del. Raymond “Andy” Guest Jr; (R-Fauquier/W arren/Clarke/Rappahannock)to study the need for a state horse center.

And, of course, it’s a beautiful site. “If you look at what has been done here to get this center, you know that you can dare to dream. It’s a team effort that shows what can be done.” The Rockbridge County proposal, made with the support of the towns of Lexington and Buena Vis*-*, promised to give the state a 361-a . j tract, valued at $695,000, for the multi-purpose center plus at least $885,000 towards its construction. A private organization, the Committee for the Virginia Horse Center, provided most of the lobbying for the Rockbridge site. Heading this committee was Lexington Realtor, Otis Mead. “We are absolutely ecstatic about how everything went today,” Mr. Mead said after the bill-signing ceremonies. “Everything has worked out very very well.
