While these phrases may sound like routine safety messages, State Police serving the 12-county area including Rappahannock and Culpeper recently issued a special appeal to motorists and residents in the area to follow the messages to the letter. Captain C.C. Moss, Jr., commander of the Department’s Second Division, reported there were 23 fatal crashes involving 24 deaths in eight of the 12 counties from January 1 through March 21. This compares to 12 fatal crashes and 12 deaths for a similar period in 1984. County by county statistics for the period indicated show the following fatalities: Frederick, six; Culpeper, four; Fauquier, four; Shenandoah, three; Stafford, two; Warren, two; Page, one; Spotsylvania, one; and Rappahannock, one. • Free Legal Assistance Rappahannock Legal Services, Inc.

The Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation spent $2,469,919 in the 1983-84 fiscal year to keep the state’s roadsides neat and clean, some $300,000 more than the cost in the previous fiscal period. The cost translates to 305,253 total manhours throughout the state or 38,156 eight-hour days, according to C. O. Leigh, state maintenance engineer. About half the cost, $1.3 million, was for picking up litter along the 8,000 miles of the state’s primary system, with $861,000 spent on the interstate system. In Rappahannock alone department workers spent 1,240 manhours picking up litter on the primary system during the 1983-84 fiscal year. That was at a cost of $4,515. Big Trucks Boom In County Fauquier Truck Ban Faulted By JON KLAVERKAMP Rappahannock News Staff Writer A big truck ban on Route 17 between Warrenton and Marshall is causing an unwelcome spillover into Rappahannock County. Residents and supervisors alike have noted with alarm the unprecedented number of big trucks roaring through the county’s typically serene countryside. “The truck traffic has tripled,” said Henry W. Reager, owner and operator of the Blue Ridge Grocery located on Route 522 near Chester Gap. “These roads can’t take it.” Peggy Clark, owner of The Corner Post Restaurant on Route 522 in Flint Hill, voiced similar regrets. She estimated the recent increase in truck traffic to be around 50 to 60 percent! “It’s scary, I almost encountered some of those trucks around the corners in Chester Gap.” Not only are the trucks dangerous, said Clark, they’re a nuisance. ‘‘They go all night.” “It’s like someone opened up the gate,” said Supervisor Charles "Pete" Estes, who presented a resolution stating Rappahannock’s concerns at the primary road allocation hearing April north _/ Rappahannock News Photo. Jon Klaverkamp The increase in big truck traffic in Rappahannock is causing concern among citizens. 15. The resolution, drafted by Clerk Diane Bruce, notes the increase of “through truck-traffic on Route 522 in Rappahannock County.” After citing the length of Route 522, most of which is “narrow and uneven two-laned highway..." and the “...potential danger to the life and limb of the residents and small children of the rural communities.” the resolution concludes: “Be it resolved that the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors finds Route 522 not to be suitable for the enormous increase of heavy truck traffic.” The resolution asks the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation to rescind its ban on trucks and to reopen Routes 15 and 17 in Fauquier County. State Highway Commissioner Harold C. King ordered the ban, which took effect November 19, in response to a tractor trailer wreck that killed four women north of Warrenton on Route 17, a narrow, two-lane stretch of highway. The ban, encouraged by public outcry over the high frequency of accidents on Route 17, was to end February 17, after highway officials had studied traffic patterns and accident statistics to determine whether the ban should be permanent. Citing the need for further study, Commissioner King extended the ban in January to April 3. He has since made the ban permanent, at least until the 10.35 mile section of Route 17 is converted into a four-lane, divided highway, which is tentatively scheduled for completion in 1989. The ban applies to vehicles with two or more axles or six or more wheels. Denied access to Route 17, truckers were expected to use Route 29/211, (Continued on Page 18) Council Recommends Planners, Sets Clean-Up Week — By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock Nt*i Staff Writer Washington’s Town Council adopted a list of five names as recommendations for the town's planning commission during the council’s meeting on Wednesday, April 10. Those recommended were Frank Reynolds, Byrd Jones, Randolph Clater, Dan Lewis and Bill Wickens as the joint member from the council. “This is a good balance of new and old, male and female, business and residential, legal and non-legal, and from my point of view it’s as good a list as any and I don’t think it would be enhanced by any more names at this point,” Mayor Peter Kramer said. The five will be contacted for their responses. The five members of the town’s board of zoning appeals will be appointed by the Circuit Court judge. The council had planned to make recommendations to the judge. “My feeling on the part of the BZA is that rather than for the council to try to generate a list of specific recommendations that we ask the court to make the appointments,” Kramer said. “My experience with him has been that, re Fodderstack Fever The big day is almost here. Starting time for the annual Fodderstack 10KM Classic will be 10:00 a.m. this Saturday, April 20. About 150 runners have pre-registered. “That’s as many as we’ve ever had by this time,” said former race chairman Diane Bruce. Most runners, however, register on the day of the race. Bruce said over 350 people registered last year and, of those, about 300 actually ran. Much is planned for Fodderstack day, and night. The Appalachian jazz string band, Trapezoid, will perform Saturday night at 8:00 p.m. in the Gay Street Theater. The band has recently moved its base to Rappahannock and Saturday night’s performance will be Trapezoid’s first in the county. The concert is sponsored by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC). Washington Baptist Church will (Continued on Page 18) gardless of the governing body’s suggestions, he will probably place some kind of announcement in the newspaper and call for suggestions that each of the members of council are free to forward to him at that point.” Council member Newbill Miller said that the only reason that he would want to make BZA recommendations at this time would be the limited number of people in the town who can serve. “We have a total of 13, possibly 15, people that we’ve got to have to work in addition to the council on the various boards,” Miller said. “The only reason I looked at the list is I tried to decide where each candidate of the town residents could best serve.” Mayor Kramer said that that concern could be addressed by having council members include reasons for their recommendations. The council set the annual town clean-up for the week of April 21 to 27 with a special pick-up on April 27. Mayor Kramer advised the council of the w'ater company’s need to borrow $1,000 to pay a bill. “In conjunction with that,. I think that the council ought to be aware of the fact that we have a considerable amount of overdue accounts,” Mayor Kramer said. There was some question about whether the accounts are “overdue” or are accounts receivable due to the towm’s policy of billing forVater every month, but allowing residents to pay every three months if they wish. "We have $1,167 that has been owed (to the w’ater company) for over 30 days," Kramer said. When the accounts that have been due over three months were singled out, the amount fell to $687. Brad Fisher, the town treasurer, said that he has sent registered letters to those people to advise them that their water will be turned off if the bills are not paid. “I have a hard time with us having to go and borrow money when three quarters or two thirds of what we’re going to borrow is owed to us,” Kramer said. “I feel that there should be an interest charge and that some action needs to be taken.” The council voted to have a one and a half percent a month interest charge assessed on accounts over a month old. ‘‘If there’s nothing else we need to do on that, then it will start tonight, but if there is something else we have to do to make it legal, we’ll do it,” Kramer said. For the accounts that are currently due, Fisher was authorized to develop appropriate payment plans with the understanding that settling the matter in court will be a last recourse.

Endurance Distance riding grows in popularity Endurance, or long distance, riding is becoming a very popular sport with horse owners in this country and abroad and the sport is even being considered for a future Olympic event. “So many people are not aware of the extent that this sport has gripped the country,” explains Carmen Sutton, a member of the Old Dominion Ride that sponsors several endurance rides in the Blue Ridge and Massanutten mountains. “This is one of the most extensive and inexpensive ways to use a horse,” continues Mrs. Sutton. “It is a natural extension of the everyday use of a horse. The idea of the sport is to bring a horse up. to perform over a long distance and* time and any horse owner can do it.” The Dominion Ride organization has been holding endurance rides each year for the past four years and the quantity and level of competition in the events has grown considerably. The group works with the Park and Forest Services to build and maintain a network of distance riding trails in the George Washington National Forest and the Shenandoah National Park near Front Royal. This network of trails is used for the group’s 50 and 100-mile competitive endurance rides and a 100-mile run held in conjunction with the endurance rides. The concept of endurance riding, according to Mrs. Sutton, is to be able to complete the ride and have the horse come through in sound condition. “The idea is to finish and still have some horse left,” says Mrs. Sutton. “It is different from competitive trail riding though. Fatigue is to be expected.

For more information, call or visit the Gold Cup office in Warrenton, 347-2612, or the Course office at Great Meadow, 253-5001. GOLD CUP TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE AT THESE LOCATIONS: Warren Ion, Horse Country Saddlery, Stable Door; The Plains, Rail Stop, Plains Pharmacy; Marshall, Charles Ebbetts Ford; Delaplane, The Delaplane Store; Middleburg, Dominion Saddlery, The Tack Box; Upperville, Upperville Country Store; Opal, Clark Bros. Sporting Goods; Midland, Elk Run General Store; Old Tavern, The Comer Store. It’s a strategic race that requires optimum use of the horse.” To ensure that the horse is not overly stressed or fatigued, several veterinarian stops are set up along the route to monitor the horse’s condition and determine if it is capable of continuing to the next station. “The vet control is largely a sort of risk management,” says Mrs. Sutton. “The vets look for signs of fatigue appropriate to the amount of the ride left to go. The examination at the finish awards completion of the ride to horses that are uninjured.” Besides preventing injury to the horse, many veterinarians use the data they collect from these rides for re- ’ search on the stresses and strains of long distance riding on the horse. Four months after the ride has ended contestants are sent a questionnaire about the condition of their horses as part of the scientific data. Frizes are given to riders completing the course within a certain time, as long as their horses are healthy at the end of the ride. A prize is given to the first finisher, the best-conditioned horse, the top 10 riders and also to the first horses of different breeds to finish Riders completing the 55-mile ride within 11 hours and passing the veterinary inspection one hour after finishing are awarded a coveted Old Dominion belt buckle. For the 100-mile competitors the time limit is 24 hours. There is also a 100-mile run over the same trails as the endurance ride. Runners have 24 hours to complete the route if they want to earn a buckle. This gruelling event draws a large number of runners from across the country. Last year 36 runners entered and a runner finished ahead of the first horse in the event. It was also the first time a woman finished the ultramarathon route. Competitors in the Old Dominion Endurance Ride, which is sanctioned by several national endurance ride conference groups, receive points on a national basis which go toward year-end championships. This year’s ride will be held the weekend of June 8. The course starts at the 4-H Center outside Front Royal, crosses the Shenandoah River at Limeton, makes a 75-mile loop south to Luray and the George Washington National Forest Visitors Center, and then returns to the start. Only about 12 miles of trails at the beginning and end are repeated on the return ride. The route includes 35 miles of backwoods trail, 55 miles of old stagecoach roads and about 10 miles of lightly traveled roads. Many of these trails have been discovered and cleared by members of the Old Dominion Ride Association and the group is always looking for volunteers to help clear trails. Members of the group are given maps of the many trails that are open to riders yearround. The Old Dominion Endurance Ride also sponsors'a competitive ride, the Sherman Gap 35, to be held Sept. 29, and the Fort Valley 50-mile and 100 miles on Oct. 26 and 27. The group will have a spring pleasure ride on Saturday, April 27, at White Post on approximately 10 miles of scenic trails to be ridden at a lei surely pace. This ride is open to anyone and costs $12 which includes a chicken/ beef dinner to be served after the ride.

Private Gary Wins Eustis Cup By CLIVE CARNIE OATLANDS, Apr. 14 — The Eustis Cup was a bit of an experiment for Private Gary, and one which almost cost him the race. Donna (Truslow, Private Gary’s trainer) wanted him to learn how to rate,” jockey D. M. “Speedy” Smithwick Jr. explained after the race. “He’s run on the front end the whole time and she wanted to see how he would do behind other horses.” But, having to run behind other horses for perhaps the first time in his life, Private Gary grew bored with the race. “You can rate him, but he’s gotta be nearer the other horses,” Mr. Smithwick told Ms. Truslow after the race. “He started to lose interest being so far back.” At the last fence Private Gary was eight lengths behind Classic Line, ridden by Don Yovanovich. But coming round the corner at the bottom of Oatlands’ long uphill stretch the 11-yearold Researching gelding suddenly seemed to take interest in the race. With a tremendous surge of power In loving memory of Golden Sealock who passed away one year ago April 20, 1984 The midnight stars are shining on a lonely and silent grave, Beneath there sleeps the one we love but could not save. He gave no one that last farewell, He couldn’t say good-bye. He was gone before we realized, God only knows why. So Dear God, please give this message to the one we love above, Tell him how much we miss him and give him all our love. Sadly missed, Thelma and Family he took the lead and pulled away to win by a commanding eight lengths, giving the crowd of close to 10,000 an exciting finish. “Speedy’s got to stop scaring us like that,” Private Gary’s owner, Dr. Joseph M. Rogers, said after the race. “I had no idea he (Private Gary) would come on like that.” Juliet Graham set the early pace for the 4-mile race on Randy Waterman’s Vulgan’s Heir followed by Charlie Conaway on Toasted Lightly and Private Gary. Classic Line took the lead just after the end of the first lap and led to the last fence with Private Gary following behind by as much as 12 lengths at times. It was Private Gary’s second start, and second win, of the season. He won the Howard County Cup two weeks before the Oatlands meet. Private Gary last raced, and won, the Eustis Cup in 1983. Three weeks later he won the Virginia Gold Cup. In 1984 Dr. Rogers’ Constantine won the Eustis Cup and then went on to win the Gold Cup. Maybe Private Gary will make it three years in a row for Dr. Rogers at Great Meadow on May 4? After two second places this season and being disqualified from a first place for missing a flag, Robert L. Banner Jr. felt very relieved to win the Times-Mirror owner-rider timber race at Oatlands. In the Middleburg Hunt point-topoint two weeks ago Mr. Banner was first under the wire on his Gala Golightly but was disqualified for missing a fence. There was a question about whether he and other riders had missed a flag at Oatlands, but the stewards decided no foul had been committed and let the results stand unaltered. “It always scares me when I go round Mr. Banner admitted with a laugh later. “I made a number of in(Continued on Page 9) CLOCKS ‘R'BTEfl'RS - ‘RESKOK^TIOKS Offering the complete line of ‘Rl'DffEWSrr CLOCKS Made in Virginia, these docks earn' a 5 year unconditional warranty. ‘Prices include delivery and set-up. grandfather - ‘Wall - Mantel - Desk ‘EUfj'EM'E 'TUCKER 7°3-675-34Si -—\ £0j'&tTtrP r» petite ft?** Professional Secretaries Week begins April 22.

County Plans Weather Alert System By DENNIS WINGFIELD For The Department Of Emergency Services The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Rappahannock County Department of Emergency Services (DES) are keenly interested in protecting the population from severe weather such as hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, severe thunder and lightening storms and extreme temperatures. Rappahannock County has certainly experienced some unique weather. Because extreme conditions are infrequent, we have a tendency to play the percentages and gamble that such conditions will not find their way to our locality. When the do arrive, we are unprepared. There’s a price to pay. Property damage, crop loss, injuries and death can result from these conditions. Obviously, we cannot control the weather, but there are many things we can do to protect ourselves from it. One of the vital areas spoken to, and urged by NOAA and the DES, is an effective system which would allow the population to be warned of conditions requiring protective measures. The DES is requesting volunteers who would be willing to report observations of significant weather that could necessitate a local warning. Such observations would include heavy rain, strong winds, funnel clouds, extreme snowfall, severe thunderstorms and other vital information. These reports would be reported to a central location in the county, assessed, and warnings issued. In addtion to public notification through local radio stations, these volunteers would be provided with loud speakers (“bull-horns”), and would travel pre-determined routes, alerting residents of impending hazardous conditions, (in the manner of Paul Revere!). It is hoped that two people from each of our districts would be willing to become part of this important system. Interested volunteers should write the Rappahannock County, Department of Emergency Services, P.O. Box 338 Washington, VA 22747, or phone Col.’ Dieter Knuepfer, DES Coordinator, at 675-3744 or Roberty Mahlbacher, DES Deputy Coordinator, at 675-3144.’ We know that extreme weather is not an every day occurrence. It does not have to be to bring devastation and grief. An appropriate warning system can reach all parts of our county. It could save your life. DAYLIGHT SAVINGS Tin/ir bi(,ins I line APRII ’’H Nancy Woods Wins By CLIVE CARNIE Nancy Elgin Woods and her horse Shah were a conspicuous pair in the Orange County Hunt’s old fashioned point-to-point Saturday at Harry Darlington’s Chilly Bleak Farm. Spectators standing on top of a hill near the finish line had no problem spotting Ms. Woods’ small gray horse as it sped across the approximately 4mile cross-country route. And as Ms. Woods came charging up the hill to the finish line the big smile that lit up her face singled her out from all the other competitors who forlornly battled for the finish line behind her. Shah, a 19-year-old LippizanThoroughbred gelding, finished the race 10 lengths ahead of the rest of the 15-horse field with a time of 11:16^ minutes for the distance. It was the gallant little horse’s fourth old-fashioned victory. The pair’s first old-fashioned win was in 1975, also at the Orange County Hunt race, when Ms. Woods won the junior race. In 1981 Ms. Woods won the senior division of the race and in 1982 she and Shah were first across the line at the Piedmont Fox Hounds’ oldfashioned. “Since I won that first one on him .. . He really likes it,” Ms. Woods said of her mount’s aptitude for tearing across country. Part of the pair’s key to success was Ms. Woods’ strong familiarity with the course. “I studied the course a hell of a long time,” said Ms. Woods. “I went out here about every day since the course opened to walk over it.” Though she had a good route figured out for the race, not everything went according to plan for Ms. Woods and Shah. Halfway through the course Ms. Woods discovered she could not jump a stone Wall where she had originally planned and had to quickly choose an alternate route. Then, on his way back to the finish line after rounding the second course marker, Shah refused twice at a fence, losing valuable time. But Ms. Woods, manager of Greenwood Farm at The Plains, was still able to win the race, much to the joy of the many Orange County Hunt fans rooting her on at the finish. Finishing in second place was Lannie Simmons on George with third going to Frank Zurich on Sailor and fourth to Dawn Dugan on Copyright. Miss Dugan was awarded a trophy for first-placed junior, an honor she has won every year for the last four years. Last year the young Catharpin rider won the Ruhsam Challenge Plate for old-fashioned point-to-points. For much of this season Miss Dugan has used Copyright for pairs racing with her partner Amy Krenytzky and the pair currently lead the junior hunter pairs division. Prior to the Orange County race Miss Dugan had ridden her Sharp Start in the old-fashioned races. Unfortunately Sharp Start badly injured himself when he overreached on a landing at the Middleburg Hunt’s old-fashioned point-to-point two weeks ago. Miss Dugan was surprised by Copyright’s performance in the oldfashioned race. “He can’t run a lick,” she explained. “That’s the first time I’ve ever asked him to run and he took off. He did great.” With the old-fashioned races all over, this year’s winner of the Ruhsam Challenge Plate is Lannie Simmons of Amissville. Ms. Simmons won the first race of the season, the Warrenton Hunt old-fashioned, and finished fourth at Rappahannock and second at Middleburg for a season total of 12 points. This will be the second time the Old Dominion Hunt member has won the trophy. She also won it in 1981 on NashveFs Legacy. To: Mommie and Daddy Happy 43rd Wedding Anniversary!!!

Juvenile detention center considered By SEAN ADAMS Arundel Nenpapen Staff Writer The State Department of Corrections has agreed to study the need in Fauquier, Loudoun and Rappahannock counties for a detention center for juveniles who run afoul of the law. The need for the facility was brought to the attention of the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors in February by Judge John P. Ryan, of the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court, and by Sheriff John R. Isom. They noted that federal legislation scheduled to take effect in December will limit the extent to which juveniles can be held in local jails while awaiting court hearings. It is part of a national push to keep juveniles oat of jails, Judge Ryan said in a recent interview. But that will put additional burdens on the sheriffs department, which must transport the juveniles to distant detention centers at great time and cost, he said. He believes the solution is a regional detention center, which could be used not only by all three counties in the 20th Judicial District. Without such a facility, he said, “I’m afraid that we’re going to be caught where we have absolutely no place to put these children.” Now, Judge Ryan said, some juveniles who, for example, are charged with offenses such as drunk in public, curse and abuse, resisting arrest or destruction of public property, can be held temporarily in the local jail while they await a court hearing. In some cases, however, they have to be transported to detention centers Our Rappahannock Heritage Social Security/Medic are Cuts Opposed To the editor: Some members of Congress have proposed that Social Security benefits be cut and that older persons pay more for Medicare coverage in order to reducethe federal budget deficit. Older Americans support fair mea-' sures reduce the deficit. But older persons have already been subject to severe benefit cutbacks, with Social Security cuts of more than $100 billion over the decade and cuts of more than $22 billion in Medicare/Medicaid in the last three years. These new proposals would impose an unfairly heavy burden on those over 65. The proposed one-year freeze in Social Security benefits alone could cost each of us $1,000 or more over the next three years. It would push more than a million older persons into poverty in that same period. Cutting Social Security and Medicare won’t really help the budget deficit - the Trust Funds cannot by law be,t used for any other purpose. Instead, ve’ve got to look at the real causes of the deficit - huge tax loopholes for corporations and excessive waste in defense spending. PHILLIP T. MESSINGER Assistant State Director of Virginia American Association of Retired Persons Volunteers Appreciated To the editor: April 22-28 has been designated National Volunteer Week for 1985. We at Volunteer Services of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Center would like to acknowledge the valuable service our RSVP and CSVP volunteers are providing to our own programs and many others in their community. We have a lot to be proud of, and so do our volunteers. Without their support, many services which benefit citizens of Planning District 9 would be greatly limited. In 1984, RSVP volunteers gave 64,401 hours of service, and Community Service Volunteers gave 5,805 hours. In Rappahannock County, our volunteers helped to develop and carry out the World Hunger Project, transported isolated seniors and mental health/mental retardation clients to appointments and offered many hours of skill and help at the Rappahannock Library. Giving of one’s time and talents is a gracious gift indeed. During National Volunteer Week, and the rest of the year as well, these wonderful volunteers deserve a great deal of credit. CAROLYN M. SZABAD Director, Volunteer Services Teachers Thanked lome editor: Each year, the Seventh Grade students at Rappahannock County Elementary School are given the chance to spend four days and three nights in historic Williamsburg. Every student is treated equally, regardless of grade average or financial status. Classmates participate throughout the year, selling everything from pizza to flower bulbs, as well as being coordinators of the annual Fun Fair. With the profits made by fund raising, there is only the price of $55 for each student’s trip. By learning how to sell products to the community and reaping the benefits of their efforts, these students learn the invaluable experience of having a goal and working towards that goal as a group. This trip has been made a tradition that has enhanced the lives of so many students. Hopefully, this trip will be used as a building block for the enrichment of future Rappahannock citizens. Credit and appreciation should be given to the Seventh Grade teachers who have made this dream a reality. MARGIE RI .HTER in neighboring jurisdictions such as Prince William County, Alexandria or Fredericksburg. Sheriffs deputies have to transport them and the county must pay the cost of the detention. In 1984, 48 juveniles in Loudoun were in detention, either awaiting a court hearing or after the case is decided. The county paid for 987 days of detention, at a cost of $26,893 during the 1984 calendar year, according to Charles Ratcliff, director of juvenile court services. And that doesn’t include the cost to the sheriffs department of transporting the juveniles to other detention facilities, he said. He agrees with Judge Ryan that the area needs a regional detention center. dp March of Dimes ■■■BIRTH DEFECTS FOUNDATION ■■■ From Both Barrels - Vying ForjThe Gold Ring By GEORGE BOWLES Next to the nomination for the governorship itself, the most sought-after prize within the gift of the Republican party this year is its nomination for lieutenant governor. The battle to grab that gold ring of Republican politics is rapidly becoming the most heated contest in either party as the state’s Democrats and Republicans prepare for their nominating conventions. The Republicans will hold their conclave in Norfolk’s Scope on May 31 and June 1. The Democrats will convene a week later, on June 7-8, in the Richmond Coliseum. Vying for the GOP lieutenant governor’s nod are former Attorney General Marshall Coleman of McLean, state Sen. John Chichester of Stafford, direct mail impresario Richard Viguerie of Falls Church, Del. A. R. (Pete) Giesen of Waynesboro and the Rev. Maurice Dawkins of Arlington. Dawkins says he ifrin the race primarily to promote black participation in Republican politics and is making no real effort to win the nomination. The other four candidates, however, are deadly serious about their efforts. Rightly or wrongly, they regard winning the lieutenant governor’s nod this year as a virtual guarantee of being the front-runner in the race for the GOP gubernatorial nomination four years hence. The reason is it is now all but certain that black state Sen. Douglas Wilder of Richmond will be the Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor. In spite of Wilder’s undeniable talents, Republican strategists regard the GOP nomination to oppose him as tantamount to election. Oddly, the contest for the Republicans’ number two spot has been vastly complicated by recent events in the Democratic Party. Until the Democratic caucuses two weeks ago, it had been widely assumed that Lt. Gov. Dick Davis would win his party’s gubernatorial nomination with relative ease. It was also assumed that, since the GOp image makers had been able to paint Davis as a liberal in his unsuccessful 1982 senate race against Paul Trible, they would be able to do so again in this year’s contest for governor. Not to worry, so the word went, any Republican candidate could whip Davis. Attorney General Gerald Baliles, davis’ riyal for the nomination, was regarded as hopelessly behind in the Democratic competition for delegates. But in the wake of the Democratic caucuses, this rosy GOP scenario has undergone a stunning change. The emergence of Baliles, not Davis, as the Democrats’ front-runner sent shock waves through the GOP. On the Republican side of the hill, former Fairfax Del. Wyatt Durrette, now of Chesterfield, and 8th District Congressman Stanford Parris of Fairfax have been engaged in a seemingly onesided contest for the GOP’s nomination for governor. Durrette claims he has captured the lion’s share of delegates at party mass meetings held thus far and, indeed, says he has the nomination wrapped up. Unlike the Democrats, however, GOP delegates, unless instructed by their mass meetings, are not committed to support any specific candidate at the nominating convention, so exact delegate strengths are impossible to determine. Both camps, however, acknowledge that Durrette is well ahead. In spite of that, Parris has recounted his delegates and, with an obvious eye on Democratic developments, says he will stay in the contest. Thus it appears at least possible that the 1985 race for governor will be a rematch between Baliles and Durrette, who faced each other in the 1981 contest for attorney general. In that election Baliles defeated Durrette by 26,000, or 51 percent, of the votes cast. Baliles carried seven of the state’s 10 congressional districts. The possibility of such a rematch has sent Republican strategists back to their drawing boards. It is probably inaccurate to say, as some have, that the Durrette camp is “spooked” by the idea of another run against Baliles, but it is obvious that every item of political data is now being factored into his gubernatorial campaign. One of these items, obviously, is the matter of who will be Durrette’s ticketmate for lieutenant governor. The GOP attorney general’s nod will likely, go to Del. W. R. “Buster” O’Brien of Virginia Beach, who has only token opposition for the nomination. The critical question becomes which of the candidates for lieutenant governor would be of the most help to Durrette if a neckand-neck race with Baliles become a reality. The answer most GOP insiders now give, although in a low whisper, is Chichester. Although he is a former Democrat, he has remained a pristine conservative, unsullied by any past association with the liberals of his old nart v. Those who favor a DurretteChiehester-O’Brien ticket have a problem, however. The fronts runner for the lieutenant governor’s nod is believed by many to be Coleman, who has a broad following within the party, but whose moderate past has alienated him from the state’s famed independent conservative coalition, the fabled “Main Street r-Money Bovs." The coalition’s suppoft is seen as an essential inl gredieW of any GOP victory in a vstatevyide race. It is therefore oejieyed that while Coleman might defeat Wilder, he would be an ineffective gubernatorial candidate in 19X9 as well as a drag on the candidate for governor in 1985. A prominent coalitionist was asked what the independent conservatives would do in the lieutenant governor’s race if Coleman was the Republican nominee and Wilder was nominated by the Democrats. “Well, I'll tell you this,” he replied grimly, “you will be able to hear the wallets being zipped shut all up and down Richmond’s Main Street.” .Thus Coleman’s opponents will be confronted with the task of stopping him on the first ballot at the party’s convention. If they can do this, and Chichester can work out some sort of accommodation with Giesen and Viguerie, the Stafford senator will be in an excellent position to grab the gold ring. In the view of many party conservatives, his doing so has suddenly become a vital factor in Durrette's chances of becoming governor of the Commonwealth. But these battles are far from over, and in a convention in which most delegates are not firmly committed to anybody, anything can happen — and very likely will.

Beaver Lodges Under Construction— By BOB McMEANS Arundel Newspaper* Special Writer Between now and the middle of May, you may notice a big change in activity around your local beaver ponds. Female beavers are preparing their nurseries in expectation of the arrival of the kits. Beaver kits (or babies) are bom in the beaver houses or lodges around the middle of May. But, for several weeks before arrival of the litter, there is a flurry of activity. Readying the lodge and preparing the nursery area is the responsibility of the female. As she gathers all the rough twigs and cleans the lodge she looks for anything that could possibly harm her offspring and removes it from the lodge. She makes each trip count. As she carries litter and sharp twigs out of the lodge, she returns with soft bedding material, such as cedar bark and grass to line the nursery area. The entrance to the beaver lodge is below water level and the responsibility of maintaining the water level and repairs and strengthening the lodge is in the hands of the chief engineer of the family — the male beaver. He meticulously maintains the outside of the lodge to keep any predator from gaining access. The lodge consists of tons of material, mainly sticks and mud. Packed into place with human-like front paws of the beaver, it becomes matted and tangled and is nearly impenetrable by anything short of a hungry grizzly bear or a bulldozer. 8.8% A.P.R.

Nothing like it on earth. -SPEFRY^IVEW HOLLAISD New Holland — Culpeper 790 James Madison Highway 825-0188 The water level in the lodge is maintained by the constant monitoring and repairing of the dam. The dam has a way of growing beyond desirable limits. Here is where the feud between man and beavers occurs. Beaver ponds that develop along remote streams affect few humans, but beaver are making quite a comeback here in Virginia, and are no longer satisfied with remote stretches of stream. They love to block off culverts — seemingly overnight — inundating the roadway with water. They love to cut down trees along water courses — also overnight — so they are across the driveway in the morning, often floating in the water across the driveway, as the beaver has cut most of the limbs from the tree and stuffed them tightly together with mud into the culvert under the driveway. Certainly, the log across the drive and the limbs and mud in the culvert can be removed, but every morning before work can become a chore! Sometimes we wonder about whether the neighbors’ kids didn’t have a hand or even a chainsaw in this! On the otherside of the coin, the beaver provides a tremendous service to the landowner, the hunter and the fisherman, the wildlife biologist and the wildlife itself. He helps to control flood waters, erosion and provides lifegiving water to livestock and wildlife in the time of droughts. Most of us have seen the results of droughts throughout the state in the last few years. Imagine how the wildlife would have endured these droughts without help from the beaver ponds. I know of no finer fun than to stalk the tiny trout that live in beaver ponds along the western parts of Clarke and Rappahannock counties. Have you ever spent an early morning in mid-winter hiding in a duck blind over the only open water in the area? Probably over a beaver pond, as the decaying vegetation on the bottom of a beaver pond creates just enough heat to prevent water from freezing quite as soon as other open ponds. In this world of lagging incentive, diminished productivity, and loss of pride in one’s workmanship, let’s give a hand to one of nature’s real workers, a skilled engineer, a producer — the beaver! Fishing Update Lake Anna is really jumping — or should I say, the fish are. Guides for stripers are reporting good catches of three to 24 pounds this week. Largemouth and crappie are really good, even ith the snow squalls Mid wind earlier in the week. Lake Chesdin has good crappie and hybrid striper action. Calvin Hunter and Roger Mayberry caught more than 130 crappie on minnows while Gus Sphor caught 12 hybrid stripers of more than three pounds each. Tom Hagen of Fiahtracker magazine fished Lake Chesdin this week and caught 87 crappie up to a lVi pounds. Buggs Island produced a threepound, five-ounce crappie and a number of citation size stripers — up to a 24-pounder. The Potomac River is producing some good white perch between Alexandria and Chain Bridge. Smallmouth picking up in the upper Potomac. Let’s hear from the Loudoun County fishermen. Rappahannock News Photo/Jon Klaverkamp Surrounded by trash, Eric Kvames still can manage a smile. Smith Mountain Lake fishing is excellent! James Weaver of West Virginia has six citation fish this month from Smith Mountain. Other reports include 20-30 pound stripers, 20-21 pound muskies and eight-to-9V2-pound largemouth. The Shenandoah River is slow, but improving. Largemouth are reported up to three pounds, and crappie are picking up.

S&L’s Federally Insured What happened in Ohio cannot happen in Virginia, says the Virginia League of Savings Institutions. Unlike the ailing Ohio savings and loan institutions, Virginia thrift institution depositors are insured up to $100,000 by the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corp. (FSLIC), an agency of the federal government. Additionally, depositors are further protected by a congressional resolution that places the Treasury of the United States behind the FSLIC. The problem in Ohio resulted from the failure of a private insurance fund, the Ohio Deposit Guarantee Fund, which insured 70 state associations in Ohio. The banks were not insured by the FSLIC. Virginia law requires all state chartered associations to insure their deposits with the FSLIC or with other insurers approved by the State Corporation Commission. Thus far the SCC has not see fit to authorize any insurer in the state other than FSLIC. BEST FRIEND KNOWS...

We Want To Announce Your Wedding An announcement of a wedding is the kind of good news we like to publish on the social pages of the Rappahannock News. But we have a few rules that we ask the bride and groom to follow in submitting their announcements. All wedding stories should be typed. They should include the marriage date and be received by the Rappahannock News no later than two months after the wedding. Black and white photographs are preferred. We suggest that the bride advise her photographer of this. We can print a picture from a color shot but it usually becomes too dark. We want your wedding picture to reproduce as clearly as possible; we’re sure you do, too. Forms for your announcement are available at the Rappahannock News office. If you have any questions, .please contact Barbara Burke at the Rappahannock News, P.O. Box 59, Washington, Va. 22747, telephone 703-675-3338. Remember, there is no charge for this service.

Day mutm INFLATION IS INFLATION During our generation, the inflation rate has bounced between 4% and 20%. That’s a lot of bouncing and the bottom figure always seems to be higher than the last bottom. Let’s not kid ourselves. Whether it’s 4% or 20%, inflation is inflation and unless you do something to protect your hard-earned money from losing its value, you lose. If you hide $1,000 in your mattress, while you sleep on it for ten years at a 5% inflation rate, the $1,000 will be worth only half of its buying power when you remove it from the mattress. On the other hand, if you purchase your home for $100,000 when you bought your mattress, the value of your home would have appreciated 50% to $150,000 while you incubated your cash wad in the mattress. Even better news. Your house probably went up MORE than the inflation rate because home values always rise faster than the cost of living. Last year, values rose from 2 to 3.5% more than inflation. You don’t have to be a genious to make money owning your own home. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M.

In fact, or hestrating a week’s worth of meals v, hich are nutritious, delicious, economical and reasonable in their demands on time and energy can be intimidating. Fortunately, help is closer than you might think. By spending just a half hour each week with paper and pencil in hand, meal planning can become a creative task rather than a chore. It’s easy to determine a starting point for planning menus. We eat to stay healthy, so it’s important to build meal plans around foods which will provide the nutrients we need each day for good health. It’s not enough just to consider which foods supply these nutrients, however. You also need to consider how many servings each family member should consume daily from each of the four basic food groups. For example, everyone should eat two or more servings of meat, or a meat alternate such as eggs, each day. A serving equals two eggs, two tablespoons of peanut butter, or two to three ounces of cooked meat, poultry or fish. For the bread and cereal group, four or more servings per day is the number to remember. You can count one slice of bread, one cup of ready-toeat cereal, or one-half cup of cooked cereal as one serving. The simplest way to incorporate good nutrition into meal planning is to use traditional meal patterns as guides. But with today’s hectic schedules, eating three square meals a day isn’t always possible. So, one of the meal planner’s biggest challenges is to remain flexible. For example, getting teens to drink the four cups of milk they should have each day may be difficult. But milk can be used in cooking, and “milk equivalents” such as cheese, yogurt and ice cream make ideal snack foods. To be sure that the “all day snacker” and the “breakfast skipper” obtain the nutrients they need, you’ll find it easiest to plan menus for an entire day at one time. If you plan meals and snacks for the entire week, you’ll also save time and energy and make fewer trips to the supermarket. When planning menus, you can use the basic plans for breakfast, lunch and dinner as rough guides. You will soon discover that these plans are wonderfully flexible. The breakfast-lover in the family can choose a hearty breakfast and a light lunch. If a luncheon meeting is scheduled, you may opt for a lighter breakfast. On weekends and vacations, many people even prefer to substitute a substantial brunch for two lighter meals, breakfast and lunch. - There’s plenty of room for creativity when choosing foods to fit the basic meal patterns. If traditional breakfast foods such as eggs and toast lack appeal, try substituting a favorite “nonbreakfast food.” A fruit and yogurt shake, peanut butter and jelly sandwich or bowl of vegetable-barley soup Rappahannock Business & Service Directory Call 675-3349 to Place Your Ad!

If time always seems to be a problem, plan a simple breakfast which can be “eaten on the run.” A piece of fruit and homemade com muffin can be eaten on the way to the bus stop. Or, pack a “sack breakfast” to take along to school or work. Lunch choices can be a budgetstretcher’s delight if you plan ahead. On weekends, try to plan one meal around a large roast which is a supermarket special. The “extras” can be used to create nutritious sandwiches, soups, casseroles and salads. If a microwave oven isn’t available at school or the office, pack soups, stews and other hot foods in insulated containers. For a special treat, include a homemade cookie. It doesn’t take any extra time to bake a large pan of butterscotch-oat bars, a nutritious treat which tastes even better the next day. To keep the frosting intact, “sandwich” two bars, frosting sides together, and wrap well. With music lessons, baseball practice and late business meetings, many families find it difficult to sit down together for dinner. Foods which used to be part of the traditional dinner pattern, however, can become “dinnerson-the-go.” All it takes is a little planning and some imagination. The meat, starch and vegetable which used to be served separately can be transformed into wonderful casseroles, skillet suppers and main dish salads. A southern-style tuna casserole made with grits instead of noodles, or a hearty Mediterranean barley salad, are flavorful examples of one dish meals which are as budget-wise as they are time and energy saving. Best of all, they are quick to assemble if someone needs to eat early and they can wait for latecomers. Other creative dinner ideas include “help yourself’ items such as tacos, individual pizzas and multi-layer sandwiches. Snacking has become a way of life since so many of us find it difficult to eat three square meals a day. So, when planning weekly menus, it’s especially important to select snacks with an eye towards good nutrition. Processed cheese, fresh fruit, raw vegetables, fruit juice and wholesome wholegrain cookies all supply important nutrients as well as satisfy hunger. They also require little if any preparation and won’t put a dent in the budget. Company meals don’t have to strain the budget either. Just be sure to include these meals when planning weekley menus. When it comes to economical entertaining, brunch rates high on the list. Why? Brunch choices are endless, including everything from French toast to ratatouille. But if family and friends still enjoy he traditional bacon and eggs, surprise them with Baked Bacon Grits and Eggs. This creative use of two old favorites is sure to win rave reviews. For an especially festive spring brunch, add wedges of fresh pineapple with juicy red strawberries and freshly baked muffins. If time is too short for a leisurely brunch, substitute a quick but hearty breakfast featuring Southern Scramble. After the family tastes this flavorful blend of diced ham, Swiss cheese, onions, eggs and creamy grits, you may never hear another request for plain old scrambled eggs! Baked Bacon Grits And Eggs 1 cup of enriched white hominy grits 4 tablespoons margarine 2 crisply cooked bacon slices, crumbled 6 eggs Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare grits according to package directions. Stir in two tablespoons margarine and the bacon. Pour grits mixture into ungreased 11x7 inch baking dish. Make 6 depressions with back of spoon about 2 inches apart in grits mixture. Break one egg into each depression. Melt remaining margarine; pour over eggs. Sprinkle with pepper, if desired. Bake, uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes, or until eggs are desired .doneness. Serve hot. Makes 6 servings. For One or Two: Prepare two servings of grits according to package directions. Stir in two teaspoons margarine and one crisply cooked and crumbled bacon slice. Divide evenly between two custard cups, making a depression in centers with spoon. Break egg into each depression. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon melted margarine. Bake, uncovered for 10 to 12 minutes or until eggs are desired doneness. Southern Scramble 2/3 cup enriched white hominy quick grits 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 2/3 cups boiling water 6 eggs, slightly beaten 1 cup chopped cooked ham 1 cup (4oz.) shredded Swiss cheese 2 tablespoons green onion slices (1 medium green onion) 1/8 teaspoon pepper Slowly stir grits into salted boiling water in heavy 12-inch skillet. Return to boil; reduce heat. Cook for 2 1/2 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Combine remaining ingredients; add to grits. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring gently until eggs are soft set and cheese is melted. Makes about 6 servings. For One or Two: Divide ingredients in half. Prepare as recipe directs using 8-inch skillet.

Goings On In The 4 cts Trapezoid Concert By LAURIE MARSHALL AND TUTT HARRIS ram: The Appalachian jazz string band known as Trapezoid will perform Saturday, April 20 at 8 p.m. in Washington, Virginia’s Gay St. Theatre. The band, originally of West Virginia, has recently moved their base of operation to Rappahannock County. This will be Trapezoid’s first concert in the county. Having performed throughout Canada and the United States, including at the Kennedy Center, the Smithsonian Institution, Wolf TVap and on National Public Radio, the group is widely recognized as a one-of-a-kind combination of traditional American music and original compositions. They draw upon Irish and American folk tunes, swing, jazz, chamber music, African melodies, gospel music and classical training with an unusual poignancy and sense of mystery. Trapezoid is able to capture the imagination of most any audience, regardless of age, current fashion or musical preference. Four talented musicians make up the band - Paul Reisler, who plays hammer dulcimer and guitar, has built many of the instruments played by the group and has served as traditional music consultant for the state of West Virginia; Ralph Gordon, who studied bass and cello at the Manhatten School of Music and has performed with several symphonies; Lorraine Duisit, who holds a painting degree from the Rhode Island School of Design, writes many of Trapezoid’s original compositions, sings and plays mandolin; and Freyda Epstein, who won the World Twin Fiddling Championship in North Carolina and sings alto to Duisit’s soprano. The name Trapezoid comes from the shape of the hammered dulcimer, a traditional American instrument. According to Carl Kovac of the Cleveland Press, “What welds this diverse George B.

Admission is $6, with a $1 discount to RAAC members. Tickets are available at Brambles Cafe in Washington or reservations may be made by calling the RAAC office at 675-3193. Library Series Harry Crews, the author of the next selection in the Library’s book discussion series, “Growing Up in the South”, writes that Bacon County, Georgia was a place where “being alive was like being awake in a nightmare.” The experience was both horrible and beautifiil. That is a combination that few writers have the skill or the courage to produce. What is the result? The reader of A Childhood: The Biography of a Place is surprised again and again by the pleasure produced by Crews’ description of events that would usually make us cringe or shudder with moral indignation. Perhaps the reader enjoys this horror because Crews so vividly and nostalgically reconstructs a way of life that is far removed from the lives of most 1980s Americans, i As Crews tells it, Bacon County was a place that had been depressed before the depression began: a brutal place where a man might attend a best friend’s funeral in the morning and then steal his family’s smoked pork supply the same night. It was a place of superstition where the possum served for dinner had to have its eyes buried lest it return and seek out those who had dined upon it. Bacon County was a Eustis Cury vuuiiunueu irom rage o) ■“ quiries before the race to make sure I knew what was what.” Jimmy Robinson, who won at Middleburg by being the only rider to stay on course, led the early part of the 3mile race on his Wee Pet. Vincenzo Zuco followed on Fiddler’s Dam with Gala Golightly in third. Gala Golightly took the lead on the backstretch after two miles and managed to stay in front until the finish. Fiddler’s Dam moved up to challenge the leader with two fences to go but banged a fence badly, losing ground and causing his jockey to lose a stirrup.

RAPPAHANNOCK FARMERS CO-OP Sperryville, Va. 987-8555 Trapezoid will perform April 20 at 8:00 p.m. in the Gay St. Theater place so poor that a man with a toothache might have to anaesthetize his mouth with ice cold water and then rip out his own tooth with a pair of pliers. But it was also a place where people could take pride in their ability to talk the pain out of a burned arm, to cure a crawbound rooster, to plow a field straight, or to know a mule’s age just by looking at his teeth. Crews tells all this in a brilliantly matter of fact way that compels us to understand how poverty and the need to survive drive people to behave in ways that seem bizarre to those of us w ho are more fortunate. The discussion will be led by Joel Foreman, an associate professor at George Mason University, where he has been a member of the English Department since 1972. He has a MA from the Writing Seminars at Johns Hopkins University and a Ph.D. in Renaissance Studies from the George Washington University. Foreman is an active scholar as well as an independent television producer. He has lectured widely on popular culture, Shakespeare, television, the modern novel and the current cultural revolution. lengths in front. “Gala’s a very good and experienced horse,” said Mr. Banner who was recording his first win over fences. “He took good care of his rider. ” Mr. Banner bought the 10-yearold Cougar II gelding two years ago from Harry Wight of Leesburg. The 27-year-old rider from Washington, D.C., plans to race his horse in sanctioned meets in Tennessee and Kentucky later this year. The day’s closest timber race was the ladies’ race, fifth on the seven-race card, which saw a new face in the winner’s circle. Patti Cassel took the early lead on her Bush Ruler but was overtaken at the fifth fence by Lauren Smith on her father’s Bibbit. From that point on Bibbit led the six-horse field, surviving a last-minute challenge from Eva Dahlgren and Ahwaz in the stretch to win by a very short nose with a time of 6:20 minutes for the three miles. Only three horses started in the second race, a maiden timber contest. But it was an exciting race with a popular winner. Don Yovanovich took the lead on San Mar Farm’s Svahama stretching the gap to as much as eight lengths at some points in the race. But the other two horses were not out of contention. At the last fence Charlie Fleischmann aboard Buck Bland jumped with Svahama and then pulled ahead up the stretch. Charlie Fenwick also made his challenge in the stretch aboard Arcadia Stable’s Snowmaker, passing Svahama to finish eight lengths behind Buck Bland and about the same ahead of the last horse. Buck Bland, a 5-year-old gelding by Coquito out of Drylad, is owned by Barbara Morris of The Plains. “This horse was named after Buck Bland, a black horseman who groomed and galloped the stallion and the mare,” said Ms. Morris after the race. “We tried (the horse) on the track but he was a rogue. Everyone gave up on him except me and Buck. We took him to Torrance and Charlie (Fleischmann) and they made a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.” An open hurdle race, split into two divisions, followed the owner-rider timber race. Paul B. Cramer Jr.’s Threatening Arch led wire-to-wire in the first division under the guidance of Gary Rose to win by three lengths. Hilary Thompson maneuvered James Treptow’s Arminius under the wire for second and Charlie Fenwick riding Mrs. Harry Duffey’s Investment Plan finished third. In the second division John Fitzgerald led from the wire on Joseph Magner’s Winter Lift but was passed by Juliet Graham aboard Rep on the back Bridge Party Highlights The Sperryville Area News Mrs. W.H.

4-H Animal Projects Mean Lots Of Time And Fun By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock Newi Staff Writcr The annual Farm Show and Sale held in Culpeper is four or five months away, but Rappahannock 4-H’ers planning to participate are going to use every bit of that time to prepare their animals. For many of the 4-H’ers, the animal projects are an annual family affair with all of the children involved and the parents helping. With three children who have had animal projects for the past five years, the Adams’ of Flint Hill illustrate the family concept well. April, Laura and Will Adams will be showing lambs and goats in this year’s show and sale. For Laura, the work with the goats has been continual, but now all three will start working with lambs for the show. The three will be working with two lambs each during the next few months trying to get the lambs to just the right weight to be entered in the show. The lambs have to weigh at least 90 pounds by showtime, but a weight between 110 and 125 pounds means the lamb will be graded as a Blue-0 and will attract a better price at the sale. “You have to pour a lot of feed into them in a short period of time to get them to gain that much weight, and just about all they do is eat,” said Laura. Laura and April will probably buy their two market lambs this year, but Will has picked out two possibilities We Buy and Sell Mortgage Notes Call for a quotation VIRGINIA MORTGAGE EXCHANGE, INC. 5105 Backlick Road Annandale, VA 22003 Unit R Diane Warfield Loan Office Kelly (703) 256-3600 Rappahannock News Photo/Jane Bangley Laura Adams and Pansy will be working towards continuing their winning record at this year’s show. from the flock he and in - mother, Joyce, jointly o\\ n.

Despite her frustrations with the lambs, Laura has had a winning history at the show. Last year, her biggest wins were with her goat, Pansy. Laura and Pansy came away with the Grand Champion Alpine Doe award and first place in the four year milker category. Laura also received the award for the best milking herd. The Adams’ have only two goats now, and all agree that that is enough. “We had so many goats at one time that we were feeding goat’s milk to the dog, the cat, the sheep and even back to the goats, and we still had to pour out buckets of milk,” Joyce said. Milking is the reason April gave up her goats and decided to work only with the lambs. “Goats are a lot of work since you have to milk them every morning and every evening,” Laura said. “They are a continual project, and you’re tied down to a schedule with them.” This year, the members of Laura’s Goat Club decided to start keeping a scrapbook on each goat’s achievements over the years. The Rappahannock News Photo/Jon Klaverkamp Jennifer McNear offers lunch to Curly, the calf she is raising for the 4-H show this summer. goats are not sold after the show as the lambs usually are. Selling the lambs is one of the hardest parts for the Adams’ . “The kids try not to handle the lambs they know they’re going to be using as market lambs so they don’t become so attached,” Joyce said. “The hardest time is when we take a sheep we’ve bottle fed to auction.” Before selling the lambs, though, the Adams’ have the show to think about. “You really have to work with sheep to show them,” April said. About three weeks before the show, the lambs are sheared, and then the washing ritual begins with water hoses and lots of dishwashing detergent. “It takes three baths one right after the other to get them clean, but the real job is keeping them clean,” said Laura. Both Laura and April have a hard time washing dishes during that period “because the smell of the detergent gets to be hard to take.” With all of the work and effort it requires, the Farm Show and Sale is still looked forward to in the Adams household. “The Farm Show is fun for them, and they get to see a lot of their friends from other counties there,” Joyce said. All three have many ribbons to show for the effort they invest during the months before the show. Another family team involved with the 4-H animal projects is Irving and Joyce Starks of Washington. For nine years, the Starks have been raising pigs for the show. Irving and Joyce each buy two pigs around the end of April at an average weight of 50 to 70 pounds. By the time of the show, the pigs have to weigh 190 pounds. “We never know until we buy them whether they’ll be male or fe Good Neighbors Support AmissviUe Ruritans By H.R.

Action was stimulated last fall by the then president, Wayne Kanaby, who called for plans and procedure. Since the club’s funds are for community assistance, responsibility for materials and labor falls upon Ruritan members. Thus, the gift of 1,000 feet of seasoned lumber by one member was followed by several donations of needed posts. With these initial materials in hand, Saturday work crews were organized. However, posing an immediate threat to progress were three large locust trees located on the 20 foot strip of lawn given by Mrs. Stuart to widen the existing right of way. The Amissville Ruritans have many good Rappahannock friends. One, Henry Diggs, heard of the club’s need. With a fine sense of public concern, Mr. Diggs and an employee, David Haught, brought a fork lift and felled the trees, saving days of man labor. Ruritans sawed and split the logs, and before the year’s end, over 300 feet. of glistening white fence were completed. adding a quality look that enhances the attractiveness of neighboring properties. The winter chill of the Blue Ridge and the dearth of materials brought further activity to a halt. As welcome, sweet spring time brought crowds of wayside daffodils and the golden charm of forsythia, the work was slow to blossom due to lack of funds and the needed materials. But somehow the chain of events was linked up once more to the generosity of Diggs and his sawmill. In April, the Ruritans were surprised and delighted to receive the donation of 3,000 feet of seasoned lumber. The club thanks Mr. Diggs for his generous gift and announces, with his help and the work of Saturday crews, the job will be completed in time for the public to see their favorite little league teams in action.

Joyce has won the Reserve Grand Champion award twice besides other ribbons she and Irving have won over the years. To help the pigs gain as much weight as possible, Irving and Joyce start them off with pig pellets and then switch to fattening feed. Feeding records have to be kept for each pig for the project. “It’s hard work and fun, too,” Irving said. “The experience teaches the children a lot of responsibility,” said Irving and Joyce’s mother, Lois.

Veterans To Meet A unique World War II Veterans organization will hold a reunion in the Washington area for the first time in over 30 years. This is the ChinaBurma-India Veterans Association representing approximately a quarter of a million veterans of World War II who served in that theater of war. John Guthrie of Castleton is the co-chairman for the event. Theirs was a low priority theater, ,farthest away from the home base. They had to live mostly off reverse lend lease from the host governments because of limitation of shipping. They were the “Flying Tigers” of the 14th Air Force; the “Merrills Marauders," the “Mars Tank Force” and the 10th Air Force who fought in the hills and jungles of Burma. They were the fliers who flew the “Hump,” the world’s most formidable physical barrier. They built ports, railroads and roads (The Ledo Road); they flew the 8-29*8 for the first time against the enemy; they trained and advised numerous Chinese divisions. All of this in an effort to keep the most populous nation on earth on the side of the Allies in World War II, and to prevent a possible link-up between the Japanese and the German armed forces. This group is meeting on April 2528 at the Sheraton National Hotel in Arlington, Va. Veterans who served in that theater who are interested in attending are asked to contact Billy Lambert at (703) 941-2545 or Joe Shupe at (703) 978-9686. The group will also conduct a memorial service at 4 p.m. at the Arlington National Cemetery on April 26. Senior discount pictures scheduled Senior discount identification pictures will be taken April 18 from 10 to 2 at the Ben Franklin Store in the Northern Virginia Shopping Center. The senior discount program, operated by the Rappahannock Rapidan Community Services Center, is designed to stretch the buying power of persons over 60. Many local merchants and businesses participate by allowing discounts on goods and services.

Recreation And Learning Are Center’s Main Goals By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer Many people in Rappahannock may not be aware of it, but there is a place nearby that offers swimming, horseback riding, tennis courts and other sports facilities. The public is not only allowed to make use of these facilities, but is encouraged to do so. The recreational facilities are a part of the Northern Virginia 4-H Educational Center near Front Royal off of Route 522. The center’s 229 acres were previously a part of the calvary remount station, and the roughly $4 million facility has been built since 1980. The day-to-day organization and fund raising for the center is handled by a private, non-profit group that formed in 1977 although the facility is owned by Virginia Polytechnic Institute. “Private donors and local governments are responsible for the facility,” said John E. Dooley, director of the center. “Few state and federal dollars come into the center.” The center’s funding organization has been a complete success. “The center is unusual because it is entirely selfsustaining operationally using the funds from the participants in our programs,” Dooley said. “100 percent of HANOVER TRANSPORT, INC.

Besides hosting 4-H campers in the summer, the 4-H intermediate congress for 12 to 14 year olds and other special 4-H activities are held at the center for the approximately 45,000 4-H’ers and volunteers in the service area. “Even though the center is young, it has had a significant impact on 4-H camp participation and enrollment in the area,” Dooley said. “The center has been recognized nationally for the introduction of innovative programs.” One of the recognized programs is Camp Fantastic, so called because it is a camp for children with cancer involving 4-H young people as counsellors. Family Fantastic is a weekend camp for children with cancer and their families and will be held at the end of this month. Seniors 4-H Camp is a weekend camp held for senior citizens with 4H’ers as counsellors and instructors. In addition to serving as the headquarters for 4-H activity in the area, the center also sponsors adult education courses. “Using the resources of Virginia Tech and linked to the center’s being a part of the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service, we offer seminars and conferences for adults,” Dooley said. “These will be expanding in the future.” The center’s final mission is to be a general recreational and conference center for whoever would like to use the facilities. ‘We serve as a comprehensive recreational facility or park for the people of Warren and Rappahannock counties, church groups, businesses, schools and other organizations,” Dooley said. The National Hemophilia Foundation holds a camp at the center, and two camps are held for the Juvenile Diabetes Association. On May 11, the center will host the Outstanding Virginian Day, and this year’s recipient of the award will be J. Kenneth Robinson. “That day is a celebration of Virginia and its people, and it will be the third year for the event,” Dooley said. The Legislative Trail Ride will be held at the center on the last weekend in May. “Members of the State Legislature will come that weekend for a retreat as guests of the Virginia Horse Tourism Funds Needed More than 300 Virginia travel and tourism leaders say that the state must increase tourism funding if Virginia is to compete aggressively and effectively with the other East Coast states. That was one of eith recommendations they made at the Virginia Governor’s Conference on Travel and Tourism, held recently at the Richmond Marriott Hotel. Tourism is the second largest industry in the state, and last year travelers spent $4.1 billion, for a 12 percent increase over the number of dollars spent in 1983. As one measure of such growth, travel-related employment in Virginia increased in 19&4 to approximately 91,200, up 7.5 percent over the 84,650 jobs generated in 1983, according to Dr. Douglas Frechtling, director of the U.S. Travel Data Center in Washington, DC. Council, and they all ride,” Dooley said. “We started programs full-time in 1982, and since then we have had over 100,000 people participate in them,” Dooley said. Present facilities at the center include lodging for 210 people, a cafeteria for 120 people, a kitchen, an Olympic sized swimming pool, three tennis courts, two basketball courts, two volleyball courts, a softball field, a soccer field, a two and a half acre lake, a 20 station fitness trail, an archery range, a 48 stall stable with two show rings, a conference center for 600 people and three recreation shelters. “Immediate future plans for the center include construction of an amphitheater that is being built by Front Royal and Warren County,” Dooley said. “There are also plans for a main lodge with a much larger cafeteria and classrooms, and a fund raising campaign is being launched for that.” The swimming pool will be open from May 26 until Labor Day with a daily admission fee of $1.25 for children and $1.75 for adults. Season passes may be purchased for $65 for singles and $115 for a family pass from now until May 1. After May 1, the prices will go up to $70 and $125. Horseback riding will begin in June, and the prices have not been determined yet. The only other cost would be to reserve a recreational shelter. “We are just beginning our busiest season now,” Dooley said. “We stay busy all year, and we like it that way.” Bach B-day Celebration Mrs. Sally Millar will perform the “Sonata for Flute in G Minor” in the “300th Birthday Celebration of J. S. Bach” program to be held at the Front Royal Presbyterian Church on Tuesday, April 23rd, at 7:30 p.m. Other members of the musjc study club participating in the concert are Beverly Clark, Alice Litwin, Helen Smith and Gloria Harris. The public is invited to attend and admission is free. Sally Millar Volunteer Training Training for one-on-one volunteers for the Women’s Abuse Shelter will be held on April 22, 25, 29 and May 2 from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Oneon-one volunteers are trained to provide direct services to battered women and their children. Topics covered will be the social and psychological dynamics of spouse abuse, values clarification: counseling skills for volunteers working with battered women, community resources and shelter operations and le'ial issues related to domestic violence. C .rent W.A.S. volunteers are invited to attend any session as a “refresher” course. The sessions will be held at the W.A.S. office at 102 N. Main Street, Room 23 (second floor above The Comer Shelf and Kezebo) in Culpeper. Please call 825-TURN or 347-1920 for further information or a registration form. Food Bank Open House The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank is celebrating its third anniversary of operation with an Open House on Saturday, April 20 from 11 a. m. until 2 p.m. Open Houses will be held at each of three Food Bank locations: the main office and warehouse at 818 Richmond Road in Staunton; the Lord Fairfax branch at 712 N. Kent Street, Winchester; and the Thomas Jefferson branch on Route 250 Bypass in the Mclntire School Building, Charlottesville. The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank is a non-profit agency serving 18 counties and seven cities in the Shenandoah Valley and surrounding areas. The Food Bank collects surplus, edible food, which would otherwise be wasted, from a variety of sources, and distributes this food to non-profit agencies that serve the needy. The Open House has been planned to honor all those who have given vital support to the Food Bank, and who have donated generous gifts such as food, equipment, time and money. -f§S Southern States PICK-OF-THE-CROP • SEED POTATOES • VEGETABLE PLANTS • ONION SETS PLUS • PEAT MOSS • POTTING SOIL • PINE BARK MULCH • COW MANURE ALL GARDEN & LAWN SEEDS AND FERTILIZERS NOW IN STOCK.

The Blue Ridge Grocer Who Is That Man? the traffic on Route 522. Then he fixes himself breakfast and opens the store by 7:00 a.m. He closes every night a little after 7:00 p.m. When Reager suffered a heart attack seven years ago, he considered closing the store. His doctor, however, advised him to keep it open because it gave him something to do. “It employs my mind,” said Reager. “I’ve been used to it; I just kind of look forward to it somehow.” His second wife died in 1965, his only brother in 1977. So he enjoys the company of his customers. “I stay by myself.” At the store “I meet people.” They can tell you things you’ve never heard of, and you can tell them things too.” Reager’s customers are not always so pleasant. “Mean people stop by sometimes,” such as robbers. One night around closing time in 1967 a thief entered the store. He first beat up Reager, leaving him to bleed on the floor, and then stole $400. Reager was able to phone the rescue squad, which took him to the hospital. He wasn’t seriously hurt. Another time Reager lost $700 to thieves, one of whom phoned Reager (whose phone is in a back room) while the other pocketed the money up front. Reager also has had to change the locks on all his doors after discovering that someone had a skeleton key and was occasionally dipping into the cash box. Reager was bom in 1908, the son of Charles Clement Reager and Ora Reager, formerly Ora Kiens of Amissville. She was a teacher at the old one room schoolhouse near the Methodist Church in Huntly. At that time Charles Clement Reager lived with his aunt in Pickle Hollow, also known as Black Rock and Mine Hollow. Across Route 522 from Chester Gap (a mile or so behind the Blue Ridge Grocery) Pickle Hollow was named after the first family who settled there. After marrying Charles, Ora moved into Pickle Hollow where they lived until Henry (the Blue Ridge Grocer) was 11. Reager recalls many scenes from those early years in Pickle Hollow. According to him, Jeff Pickle, a legendary member of the Hollow’s founding family, could eat 40 roasted ears of com. Also, he was so strong he could lift up and drink out of a 50 gallon barrel of whiskey. Reager will startle an unwary listener by proclaiming “I was killed once.” What? He explained that as an eight-year-old he was once thrown from a horse and left unconscious to the ground where he bl£<f fot a coumd By JON KLAVERKAMP Rawahannock New* 8taff Writer “You can’t make a decent living off a place like this-no way. Years ago you probably could have when people rode horseback. But now people have cars and trucks, they can go to IGA, A & P, or Safeway.” That’s Henry W. Reager, 76, talking about the Blue Ridge Grocery, which he owns and operates. A small, white building with green trim, the store is located on Route 522 just before Chester Gap as one travels toward Front Royal. On the inside the store is reminiscent of a time when mothers stayed at home, fathers worked, and children read about Dick, Jane and Spot at school. Hanging on the back wall is a Winston cigarette ad that features a curvy blonde in hip-huggers and a tank-top. White and wide, her smile is accompanied by the words “I smoke for taste.” A plaque commemorating 10 years of business with the Sinclair Refining Company decorates the same wall. The engraving reads, “In recognition for the years of service rendered to your customers....and in sincere appreciation for the pleasant business relations with - The Sinclair Refining Company” Nailed to each wall and at random heights are calendars from wholesalers. In black and bold print, one reads: MERCHANTS GROCERY CO., INC. A plastic pen holder with the name IRVIN, INC. written across it is tacked to the wall behind the counter. Smaller lettering informs a retailer of the correct address and phone number. Taking inventory at a glance, one discovers a curious assortment of odds and ends, such as: Sta Rite Hi Test Bobby Pins, Zippo Wicks, Vitalis, Elmers Glue-All, Aviator Poker Cards, Quality Pencils, Camphorated Oil, Star Tip Shoe Laces, Com Flakes, Mr. Clean, Plee-zing Tomato Catsup, Gem Nail Clippers, and Fly Swatters. The nail clippers sell for 29 cents, the fly swatters for 19 cents. Aside from these items Mr. Reager stocks the usual fare of a small grocer: milk, bread, butter, soda pop, candy and cigarettes. “Some things have been in here a long time. They (the wholesalers) don’t like to break a case. I need less.” Because he sells too little to justify buying in bulk, Reager can’t get the discount that larger stores get. He pointed out that IGA must buy at least 50 gallons of milk at one time and therefore can sell it for $1.89 retail. “That’s why they’re cheaper." Reager buys only 3 to 4 gallons at a time. “I pay $2.25 wholesale, and I’ve got to mark it up a nickle or dime so I can make some profit.” The same is true for soda pop. “I don’t sell enough to buy a truck load,” so he buys a case or two. Bread sales are no better. “I take about six loaves a week, and sometimes I have some leftover.” Rising at 6:00 a.m. six days a week, Reager opens the store window first thing in the morning so he can see Henry W. Reager stands in front of his Blue Ridge Grocery. Rappahannock News Photo/Jon Klaverkamp ANTIQUE Saturday, April 20th, 10:00 A.M.

Believing him to be dead, foxes licked the blood brom his face until finally his cousins found him. They carried him on a homemade stretcher to a hospital where he received stitches on his head. Reager’s aunt( owned cows, and he told how one of them got into a predicament one day. “The cow got up onto a' bank and got wedged behind a locust tree.” Reager watched as his cousins carried on the rescue operaton. They got a load of lumber and built a platform, less steep than the bank, extending from the road to the tree behind which the cow was stuck. Then they cut the tree down and watched as the cow slid down into the road. Reager remembers how he and his brother used to “gig” eels. “We’d do it with a table fork, then later on we used a board with a nail in it. We’d catch suckers in the spring.” When he and “the boys” weren’t gigging in the river, they were swimming in it, which they would dam up to create a pond. Prior to opening the Blue Ridge Grocery in 1929, Reager’s father farmed and cut bushes for a living. But because on an injury he was forced to give up heavy labor. Asked why his father opened the store, Reager said “someone talked him into it. It was a way to make a half-way living anyway.” The structure was built by Calvin Curl is of Flint Hill, who spent time as a convict in a prison camp in Warren County. Reager believed Curtis was jailed for cutting someone but thought it might have been done in self-defense. All the same, he said his dad trusted the man so he worked out a deal with him. The building cost $150 to build. According to Reager, Curtis died a rather peculiar death. One day in Front Royal at Roy Collins’ butcher shop, Curtis asked the price of beef. “He dropped dead when Roy told him,” said Reager. “He was old anyway.” Ora Reager took over operation of the store in the mid 1930’s when her husband died. She mangaged it for 25 years, “until she got too old.” Then in 1960 she allowed her two sons to divide the property. Henry’s brother, Charles Thomas Reager, “wanted nothing to do with the store,” so he took the house in back of the store. That left the store for Henry. He built an addition onto the back of it and made it his home, where he has been ever since. How much longer will Reager continue the operation? “A person never does know when he’s going to have to give up.” The cardboard display of Sta Rite Hi Test Bobby Pins stands on a shelf just beside Reager. A beautiful brunette is pictured on the display. Her face is dulled by a film of dust. “Anybody my age has seen a lot of things, a lot of changes. I don’t know if they’re for the good or bad.” When he was 20 years old, Reager had his appendix taken out. “It cost $2.50. Now it would cost that many hundred.” “I guess some changes are for the better and some for the worse.” Nothing need be added to that. QUALITY. Not only the Car. The Dealer. Mercedes-Benz [s quality.

The Washington Volunteer Fire Department Rcippahannock’s First Fire Department Is Striving To Provide Modern, Advanced Life Support By JANE BANGLEY Kappahannock New§ Staff Writer Within the next week, Rappahannock will have its second medic unit become operational at the county’s first fire department. Jhe 15 active members of the Washington Volunteer Fire Department, already devoting countless hours to provide emergency care and fire fighting services, will stretch themselves even more to provide advanced life support. The medic unit will be the department s present ambulance with equipment for specialized care added. For a medic unit to operate, at least one trained cardiac technician has to be on duty. That meant that some of the volunteers would have to donate more of their time for the necessary training. Fire Chief Roger Roach and fire department member Teddie Hannon took the training, and are now cardiac techs. A third member is in training. The medic unit will be operated on a part-time basis because both Roach and Hannon work. The medic unit will be equipped with a heart monitor/defibulator with a phone patch and a med radio. The heart monitor/defibulator allows the cardiac tech to take an electrocardiogram (EKG) to trace the heartbeat of a patient in cardiac distress. The EKG can then be transmitted over the phone to the hospital using the phone patch. “To my knowledge, we will be the only department in the county with the capability to transmit the EKG directly over the phone,” Roach said. The med radio and the phone patch will form a direct link between the unit and doctors in the hospital who can instruct the cardiac tech to use certain medications or the defibulator when needed. The defibulator is part of the heart monitoring system, and is used to administer electrical shocks to patients who have gone into cardiac arrest. The doctors could also tell the cardiac tech which drugs and intravenous fluids the patient requires. A shock/trauma trained volunteer can also administer some drugs and begin I Vs. One member of the Washington Department, Jackie Estes, recently completed his shock/trauma training. Medic units began to appear in this country about 10 years ago. “We are lucky in Rappahannock, being a small county, to have two medic units,” Roach said. The other medic unit is operated by the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Department. “We cover the Washington, Sperryville, Castleton areas, but if Flint Hill ever has a problem getting their unit out, we cover the rest of the county as well,” Roach said.

"The emergency room staff can then look at other avenues of treatment if what we’ve done isn’t working.” The medic unit will add to the history of the Washington Department’s service that began in 1938. The department moved into the bottom of its present headquarters in 1977. This year, enough funds have been raised to finish the second floor of the building. Finding enough funds to operate is one of the major problems for the department. The department saw a 70 percent increase in the number of rescue calls last year, and Roach said that the number of calls this year is keeping up with that increase. An increase in fire calls for the department has already been forecasted since the numhpr of paIIr last vpar utqq fKn department has already responded to 50 since the beginning of this year. The increases in the number of calls translates into an increase in operational costs. “It costs $65 to take the ambulance out on a call and at least $100 for one of the fire engines,” Roach said. The department is presently involved in its annual general fund drive when letters asking for support are sent to every property owner in the Hampton district. There are also fund raising activities on the Fourth of July and in the fall when a turkey shoot is held. Besides a lack of funds, Roach said that another problem that is countywide is the emergency calls that come in during the day. “The county has to realize that there is a problem and do something about it,” Roach said. “It’s not unusual for it to take 20 minutes to get an ambulance out during the day.” All of the volunteers present agreed that the county’s dispatch center has improved the response times. “The dispatch center has improved the organization and allowed people from the different departments to work together on calls,” Hannon said. ‘The dispatch system has improved our ability to communicate with one another, and the dispatchers are our life line.” Extension News By B1RGITT THORNHILL Extcnaion Agent It’s no wonder that American consumers will be honored by a special week Monday through Sunday, April 22-28. They only spent two trillion, 215 dollars in 1983. That is two-thirds of the gross national product, and is just cause for this nation to observe National Consumer Week. Six consecutive presidents have thrown the power of this land’s highest office behind the Consumer Bill of Rights. Those rights include the right to safety, the right to be informed, the right to choose and the right to be heard. Virginia Knauer, head of the U.S. Office of Consumer Affairs, points out that “among those rights is the right to consumer education, which is the very cornerstone of consumerism.” It was her office that got the special week to honor the consumer. The U.S. economy is based on a competitive marketplace with working partnerships existing between consumers, business and education. The two main reasons for the success of this partnership are the growing sophistication of the American consumer and the recognition by business that consumer education is good business. Consumers are being asked to learn their rights and use them to become adept buyers and users. Persons have to educate themselves and their families on how to use their incomes effectively, the same as they did in learning to make money. The local Extension staff is ready to help those interested in becoming efficient consumers with programs and publications that are geared toward improving the quality of life. However, it is up to the consumer to seek this information. Rappahannock New Photo/Jon Klaverkamp The Rappahannock Lions Club recently donated $150 to Hospice of the Rapidan.

New Market Battle reenactment set The 18th annual reenactment of the 1864 Battle of New Market will be held April 12 at the New Market Battlefield Park. Already more than 1,200 men from some 20 states have registered to participate. The battle is best known for the heroic part played by the cadets of Virginia Military institute, who fought as a unit and suffered 57 casualties out of 247 engaged.The Battlefield Park and its museum are memorials to their courage. The reenactment will begin at 2 p.m. and last for an hour. World peace theme of Baha’i meeting The Baha’is of Fauquier County are sponsoring a youth discussion group Friday evening on the theme of world peace through the elimination of prejudice. The discussion will focus on this sentence from the Baha’i Scriptures: “So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth.” The program will be presented by young people and is especially directed to youth who are concerned about peace. This is one of a series of weekly gatherings held each Friday at 8 p.m. at the Hunsaker home near Marshall and each Sunday at 7 p.m. at the Denlinger home near Opal. Interested persons are invited. For further information or directions call 347-1990 or 347-0634.

It's snowy white flowers are often one of the first signs of spring. And that makes one wonder about the price of gold if it were plentiful. Must a thing be rare to be valuable? Must it be something we can’t afford before w'e want it? If we had a roomful of gold, wouldn't it be just as lovely as if we had only one gold ring ? Wouldn't it/be as malleable and ductile to make beautiful jewelry or ornaments or to use for trade? Maybe we feel the same way about church. It is there and we can go anytime, but we don't. Yet it is in church that we can learn the true value of other people and learn about ourselves.

Boys Track Team Remains Undefeated On Home Track By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The first home track meet of the season for Rappahannock on Wednesday, April 10 ended with the Rappahannock boys continuing their undefeated home record, and with a disappointing loss for the girls. The final scores were: Rappahannock boys, 70, Page County, 65; Rappahannock girls, 50, Page, 68. The Page County boys had held tne lead in the meet until the last two events, but Rappahannock pulled the win out with an exciting finish. “Going into the next to the last event, the boys were seven points behind Page, then Ronnie Atkins and Jonathan Watson placed one and two in the two mile to tie the score up,” Coach Ann Spieker said. “It was up to the mile relay team of Dexter Freeman, Jim Racer, Ricky Shaw and James Dennis to make the deciding finish.” Spieker said that the teams ran evenly throughout the mile until James Dennis pulled ahead at the end to win by seconds. “Fans and teammates of both teams ran from side to side to encourage each runner,” Spieker said. “A deafening roar could be heard coming from the track area as each runner did his part.” The Rappahannock boys finished with nine first places, six second place finishes and seven third places. Seniors placing first in their events were: James Dennis, high jump with 5’8” and the 400 dash with a time of 57.5; Jimmy Freeman, high hurdles with a time of 18.1 and the 300 hurdles with a time of 46.7; Ronnie Atkins, mile run with a time of 5:04.9 and the two mile run with a time of 11:06.8. ftYAN STABLE FOR RENT The Plains, Virginia (NOT RECOMMENDED FOR BROODMARES) Silo apartment attached to 11 stall stable.

The 400 relay team of Dexter Freeman, Jeff Fudd, Terry Jordan and Garri Jackson also placed first with a time of 50.2. The meet ended with disappoint Panthers Fall To George Mason 4-1 By JON KLAVERKAMP Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer The Rappahannock Panthers lost to George Mason’s undefeated baseball team last Friday night for two reasons 1) they committed 7 errors and 2) they left about a hundred men on base. Otherwise the Panthers played well against a team that has either tied for or won the district championship every year since 1981. Going into the game, Rappahannock was 1 - 2 overall and 1 - 1 in the district. George Mason was 3-0 overall with a 2 - 0 record in the district. Panther Coach Don Dawson knew this was a big game. He said beforehand “We’ve got to win this game to have a chance at the district. If we can beat this team, we can beat anybody.” Dawson thought the two starting pitchers-11 Porter for the Panthers, Crawford for Mason-were among the best in the league. The game promised to be a dual between two sharp pitchers. But sloppy fielding by the Panthers prevented the dual from taking place. When reminded before the game of Mason’s undefeated record, Jeff Porter responded with confidence, “So was Georgetown before Villanova got to them.” But the miracle (if it would have been that) didn’t occur this time. Mason scored early and never lost its lead.

Mason’s first batter reached first on a line drive to the outfield. A few pitches later he stole second. Then he was knocked home when a grounder was too hot for a Panther infielder to handle. Mason added another run that inning and they were, so to speak, off and running with the score two zip. In the bottom of the first inning it was three up and three down for Rappahannock. The Panthers first hit came from Porter when he drilled a grounder through the hole between third and short. Chucky Jenkins slammed Porter to third with a shot past the second baseman. The throw to third was late, allowing Jenkins to take second. With no outs and men on second and third, the Panthers were in perfect scoring position. But they couldn’t send a runner home. Two of the next three batters fanned and the other hit a harmless infield bloop. In the bottom of the third the story was much the same. Greg Smith, who had a hot bat for Rappahannock, smacked the first of his two hits to centerfield. When lead-off batter H. B. Wood singled to right field Smith took second. The Panthers got a bad break when Mike Atkins’ grounder hit Wood as he was running to second. That’s an automatic out. So what looked like a possible bases loaded, no out situation, turned into one out with runners on first and second. The Panthers were still in scoring position. But again Rappahannock couldn’t capitalize on its early inning hits. The next two batters struckout, stranding two men on base. In the top of the fourth Mason put its first man on base. Porter whiffed the next batter. On a brilliant play, catcher Chucky Jenkins caught a thief who was trying to steal second. JenLeake Is Ace Pitcher Former Rappahannock County High School standout Gary Leake assumes the reigns as a veteran pitcher on Shepherd College Rams pitching staff. Leake, an integral part of Shepherd’s back-to-back West Virginia Conference championships, will be relied on to carry a young Ram staff this season. The 6-4, 205-pound senior finished last season with an impressive 7-1 ledger and 2.53 ERA. Thus far he leads all Ram hurlers with 13 strikeouts.

Jenkins lead off the next inning and was himself burned when his hard shot to second was stabbed by Mason’s second baseman. The grab was unbelievable. The second baseman was as surprised as anyone that he caught it. The Panthers needed a lift but that catch gave them just the opposite-a broken heart. Mason padded their lead with another run in the top of the fifth. Again sloppy play by the Panthers was responsible.

The Panthers scored their only run in the sixth when Chucky Jenkins knocked in Porter who moments earlier cranked up and sent a bullet over the center fielder’s head. “That would have been a homerun in our field,” Mason’s coach said. Errors allowed Mason to score again in the seventh, putting the final score at 4-1. Overall Porter threw 11 strikeouts to Crawford’s 10. Rappahannock had seven team hits to Mason’s five. The stats were closer than the score except in one category: errors, and that told the story. After the game coach Dawson noted that Mason looked smoother in the field. “We made a lot of mental errors.” Some of his experienced batters, he said, weren’t concentrating. “I think I’ll have to make some lineup changes next game to try something else.” Buildinq? • Paint • Lumber Jj • Millwork " • Hardware une-oiep BUILDING SUPPLY Warrenton Building Material Co., Inc. on the By-Pass, Warrenton __347-1400 r nVQDlSB unsToa BCBUU INCORPORATED Regular Sales Every Tues.

Drug Loot Dug Up In Fauquier bold and silver — part of the loot from a $100 million drug trafficking operation based in Loudoun County — were dug up on a Fauquier County farm two weeks ago. U.S. Assistant Attorney Karen Tandy admitted: “Some precious metals were uncovered on the farm.” But she refused to disclose the amount or their value. Robert B. Reckmeyer, 30, of Centreville, one of the ringleaders of the drug ring, used to own Gibraltar, a 166-acre farm near Markham. Reckmeyer and his brother Christopher were two of 26 people indicted Jan. 9 in the drug ring which operated about a decade. The drug operation centered at Shelburne Glebe, a 1,000-acre estate near Leesburg. Both brothers pleaded guilty in March and will serve 10 to 20 years in prison. As part of their plea bargains, the brothers agreed to help officials recover all “drug-related assets,” Ms. Tandy said. Reckmeyer and his wife Patricia owned the farm from Oct. 9, 1980 to Nov. 15,1983. Warrenton Names Police Chief Lt. Dale Koglin was sworn in Tuesday as Warrenton police chief. He had been acting chief since Dec. 21 when H. Gary Heath resigned to spend more time with his family. Town Manager Ed Brower said he appointed the 1969 Fauquier High School graduate because of his “capabilities and knowledge of the town.” The chief, who earns between $27,700 and $37,100, answers to the manager. Chief Koglin joined the department in August 1971 and also is the chief of Warrenton’s volunteer fire department. Loudoun Sheriff’s Department Investigates Death The Loudoun County Sheriffs Department is investigating what a spokesman says is the “suspicious death” of Barbara Evans-Smith, a prominent Loudoun resident in her early 60s. According to initial reports, Evans-Smith’s body was discovered at approximately 11:30 a.m. Monday in the upstairs of her home, Crooked Run Farm, south of Hamilton. Although the official cause of death has not been released pending the county medical examiner’s investigation, initial reports indicate that the victim had been strangled. The victim was the wife of William Evans-Smith, another prominent Loudoun resident who was an unsuccessful candidate for the board of supervisors. Sheriffs investigators have not released the names of any suspects, and they have not determined a motive. Association Avoids Development Fight The Reston Home Owners Association, a member of which said last week “we can’t stick our heads in the sand,” opted this week to bury its head. RHOA was asked by residents living on the Reston border to help them fight against three large commercialoffice developments. The RHOA Board declined to get involved, however, saying any position it took would smack of politics. Herndon Wants Better Roads The Herndon Town Council deferred action on two proposed developments in town because it was not satisfied with transportation improvements proposed. The council also pleaded with the Virginia Highway Department to build another section of the Herndon Parkway, which will carry through traffic away from the downtown area. Reston Dry Cleaner Robbed An armed gunman robbed a dry cleaning establishment on Lake Anne Plaza in Reston, escaping with an undisclosed amount of cash. Police scoured the area for 45 minutes on foot, in car and by helicopter, but they were unable to catch the bandit. SCS Implements Computer Program The Fauquier office of the U,S. Soil Conservation Service is one of 10 in the nation chosen to implement a pilot computer program. Warrenton technicians will take piles of government paperwork dealing with farmers, programs and practices and determine how the information will be stored in a data base. The Fauquier office was chosen to work on the the program that will eventually will be used in the 3,000 SCS offices across the country because the “innovative and creative” staff is involved with a great deal of field Virginia Roundup By ARCOM New* Serrke work, said Soil Conservationist Owen Unangst from Richmond. Tax Refunds Will Be Spent Local residents in western Fairfax County say they’re going to spend their tax refunds this year. They were split on whether they were getting more back this year than last, but the made it clear that the money is definitely needed this year. Loudoun Commissioner Resigns Lee T. Keyes, 66, Loudoun County’s Democratic commissioner of revenue since 1972, resigned Tuesday morning. In a press conference where no questions were allowed, Keyes said his decision was prompted by a recent charge of driving under the influence made after a collision in Leesburg several weeks ago. On Monday, Keyes pleaded nolle contendre to the charge. “If this had happened to one of my staff, that employe would have been asked to resign, and I can set no lower standards for myself,” Keyes said. “I am indeed sorry and remorseful that this happened, but that does not correct the mistake. I do not want any actions of mine to have a negative impact on the operation of this office of which I have been proud for many years.” His retirement will be effective June 30. Board of Supervisors Chairman Frank Raflo (D—Leesburg), who along with County Administrator Philip Bolen attended Keyes’ press conference, said that Loudoun Circuit Court Judge Carleton Penn would have to appoint someone to fill out the commissioner’s term for the remainder of this year. A special election will be placed on the regular General Election ballot this November when the voters of Loudoun will elect another commissioner of revenue. CIT Land Donation Expf cted In 60 Dajs ... - - . The Center for Innovative Technology will be built at the site chosen last year on the Loudoun-Fairfax County line, which the two developers who promise to donate the land will deed to the state within 60 days. The fate of the CIT site apparently was uncertain through Monday, but CIT Director Robert H. Pry announced Tuesday that meetings held with the developers and state officials produced an agreement. Alan I. Kay, who owns the CIT land in Fairfax, offered to deed his portion of the site to Virginia within 60 days, Pry said, and Samir F. Kawar, who owns the Loudoun portion, followed suit. They also agreed to donated rightof-way for the road that would serve the development from Route 28, he said. “That’s a real good development and we’ll be off and running,” Pry said. “I think things are going to move forward.” Pry said the state is about to chose an architect for the CIT building, which he expects to cover 20,00030.000 square feet. The state plans break ground for construction in late summer. Developer Reveals Plan For CIT Area A Jordanian developer proposes to build 17 office buildings, one of them 16 stories high, containing 3.1 million square feet of space on land around the proposed Center for Innovative Technology. Richard R.G. Hobson, attorney for Samir F. Kawar, KJS Partnership and trustee David Noursi, filed a rezoning application and conceptual development plan with Loudoun County last week for 92 acres on Route 28 at Dulles Toll Road. Kawar, acting through trustee A. S. Ray, and Maryland developer Alan I. Kay, who owns adjacent land in Fairfax County, agreed last spring to donate more than 35 acres to the state for the CIT, which Gov. Charles S. Robb announced on May 1 will be on the Loudoun-Fairfax site. All but one building of 200,000 square feet would be in Loudoun. Except for one 16-story building, the buildings range in size from four to eight stories high and 100,000 to 400.000 square feet. CPA Assesses School Possibilities A certified public accountant is looking through Clarke County’s books this week to determine if the county can afford to build a new high school. Acting on the suggestion of a School Board member, the county sun pervisors last week voted to hire the accountant to assess the county’s fiscal health. His report should be finished soon, county officials said. The move is the latest in a tug-ofwar between the supervisors and the School Board over the need for improved school facilities. Members of the School Board say the county needs and can afford a new $6.5 million high school. The supervisors say the county only can afford to spend $4 million and they have proposed to build a new intermediate school and renovate the existing high school. The supervisors also are studying a suggestion to establish a bipartisan panel to assess the school system’s needs and to determine how best to meet those needs within the county’s fiscal guidelines. Lee Bird and Mary Edna Schaefer were elected as the Rappahannock Democratic Party permanent chairman and permanent secretary respectively at the mass meeting on March 30. Four delegates and two alternate delegates from the county pledged to Gerald Baliles were selected to attend the state convention. What if a close friend or relative forgets to pay the electric bill? I Potomac Edison can let you know through their THIRD PARTY NOTIFICATION Unfortunately, there are times when unpaid electric bills can result in disconnection of a customer’s electric service. In such cases. Potomac Edison always sends a “final notice" before service is terminated to give the customer time to contact us to make payment arrangements. Naturally, there could be a reason why a customer may not pay the bill... reasons such as sickness, absence from home, or simply, inability to pay. Because of these and other situations, Potomac Edison is offering a "Third Party Notification" service. This program enables the customer to designate another person whom we can contact before we disconnect electric service for nonpayment of an electric bill. The third party the customer designates could be a friend, relative, doctor, 7 clergyman or even an agency. While the third party is under no obligation to pay the bill, it does provide an opportunity for some action to be taken. Designation of a third party is entirely voluntary on your part. Whether or not ft would serve a useful purpose under your circumstances is a matter which can best be determined by you. If you do wish to designate a third party to receive a duplicate of any possible disconnect notice, please contact the Potomac Edison office serving your location.

Big Trucks Boom (Continued from Page 1) between Warrenton and Gainesville, to and from 1-66. That would be the best route to take, according to Rappahannock’s Highway Engineer Don Askew who did not have any statistics on which routes truckers were actually taking. He thought northbound trucks out of Culpeper would travel 29/15 to 29/211 to 1-66 because those all are multi-lane, divided highways. It appears though that some, if not many, trucks are traveling Routes 522 and 211 between Culpeper and Front Royal, even though those highways are nearly all two-lane. It is this increased truck traffic on the 522/211/522 route, running through the heart of Rappahannock, that has alarmed citizens in the county and prompted the supervisors to action. Asked if complaints from Rappahannock would carry much weight with the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation, Askew said no. “The statistics won’t back up (those complaints).” He cited statistics from the state’s 1983 report on highways, which revealed a huge difference between the volume of traffic on Route 17 in Warrenton and Route 522 in Rappahannock. On average, 10,000 vehicles per day, 1000 of which were trucks, traveled on the now restricted section of Route 17 in 1983. That year, 2000 vehicles per day, 20 of which were trucks, traveled on Route 522 between Mas- . sies Comer and Flint Hill.

A public hearing May 14 in Fauquier will give citizens the opportunity to comment on the specifics of the construction plan for Route 17. Informa- . tion gathered at that meeting will be transmitted to the highway commission’s meeting in June. Then the state will begin purchasing right of ways in July. Askew said if all goes well the four-lane, divided highway on Route 17' will be completed in 1989.

Mayor Kramer proposed having a town dog license with a number that would be easily identifiable so that the dog would not have to be apprehended. There would be a warden who would take the number of any dog roaming the streets and would fine the owner. The fee proposed for the license was $5. “If someone has a house dog that they don’t want to buy a license for, and they want to take the chance of having it picked up, that’s fine because we won’t be in this to make money,” Kramer said. The money collected from the licensing fees and fines would go towards paying for the development of the ordinance. The council voted to have the ordinance developed.

Top Timber Horses Meet By CLIVE CARNIE Double Sparkle and Prince Saran, the 1984 Timber Horses of the Year, are slated to meet for the first time in the $9,000 Middleburg Hunt Cup, feature race at the Middleburg spring steeplechase meet Sunday. Both these horses won four sanctioned timber races last year. Prince Saran, owned by John R. Neal of Columbia, Tenn., recently won a timber race at the Oxmoor meet in Louisville, Ky. Double Sparkle, owned by Thomas L. Ashbridge III, has not started over timber this year. A field of 15 has been entered for the 3Vi-mile timber race, seventh on the eight-race card which begins at 1 p.m. at Glenwood Park. Richmond publisher William T. Reed Ill’s Crocodile Fears is also entered in the race. This 10-year-old gelding won two sanctioned timber races in 1984 and last started in the My Lady’s Manor Point-to-Point at Monkton, Md., last weekend. Also entered in the Middleburg Bowl is Vincenzo Zuco’s Fiddler’s Dam which won a sanctioned timber race at Middleburg last fall and has been racing in the owner-rider series on the Virginia point-to-point circuit. Philip R. Benson’s Arch Revolt, which also won at Middleburg last fall, and Paul B. Cramer Jr.’s Cookin ’N Lookin, leading horse in the Seven Corners owner-rider series, are also entered. Glenwood Park’s turf has a strong appeal to horsemen which is usually echoed by the large number of entries that each race meet at the course receives. Bill Gallo, racing secretary for the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association (NSHA), sanctioning body for steeplechasing in this country, said that 111 horses had been entered for Sunday’s meet. Forty-five horses have been entered in the first race alone, necessitating a split. This race will be a l^-mile maiden hurdle contest. Among the runners in the first division is Charlie Fleischmann’s Lumba Wallah, last year’s First Colony ownerrider hurdles series winner and a winner this year at Rappahannock. D. M. Smithwick’B Fabuleux Chance, Paul B. Cramer Jr.’s Shempora and Ragtime Knight and John D. Archbold’s Savacou are other horses from the point-topoint circuit entered. The day’s third race will be a maiden timber contest over 3 miles, which has drawn 17 entries. Among the entries here is Randy Rouse’s Anxious Talker, a runner in the ladies’ races this season. George Ohrstrom’s Olympic Run, winner of the ladies race at Old Dominion is also entered as is William T. Reed Ill’s Paddy’s Punch, a winner at Warrenton and February Farm’s Honey’s Fuel, a winner at Old Dominion. Fourth race on the card is a 2-mile brush allowance race with 12 entries. Lumba Wallah is cross-entered in this race, as is Fat Chance Farm’s The Cog- ; nescenti which finished third at Strawberry Hill last weekend. Mr. Cramer has entered his Threatening Arch which won last week at Oatlands. A non-sanctioned foxhunters’ timber race follows. Double Wrapped, one of the top ! hurdle horses in the country, is entered in the optional claiming race for a price tag of $50,000. Jerry Fishback, the leading jump jockey in the country, is listed to ride the mare which belongs to Kerry Fitzpatrick, owner of South Lake Stable in New Jersey. Middleburg resident Mrs. Michael Sanger’s 1984 Virginia Steeplechase Horse of the Year, Uncle Edwin, is also entered in this race as is Calvin Ryan’s Publisher, trained by Barbara Me Wade of Middleburg. The day’s final race is a lV2-mile turf contest which has 26 entries. Only 14 of these will be allowed to start as the race will not be split, according to the NSHA. Besides an exciting day of racing spectators will also be able to enjoy a carriage display and a display of foxhounds by Melvin Poe, huntsman for the Orange County Hunt. Tickets are available from the ticket office located behind the BP station in Middleburg. The office will remain open until noon on Sunday. For more information call (703)687-6545. “We expect a big crowd,” said race chairman Chris Dana. “The reserved enclosure is full and from the number of phone calls we have had there are a lot of people interested in coming.” There will be no schooling allowed on the course this year, Mrs. Dana said. The national fences had not arrived Tuesday and officials felt that to save the course, which was last used three weeks ago, no horses should use it until race day. Classifieds CULPEPER MOTOR CORP.

I speak to all young people, as well as Mom's & Dad’s, Grandma's & Grandpa's. ' God sent me to this place to minister to all i of His creation. If you are a church member 1 and you have not openly confessed Jesus ' as your Lord & Saviour, you are not saved. j Going to a church or being a member or ! getting baptized will not save you. Read ' and do Romans 10:9 & 10. Then tell some- i body. Call me, if you would like or if you ! feel you need help in doing this. Now to get ] to the subject of this week. We talked about j love last week. If you want to walk with ! God, you must love me and everyone j else. (Luke 10:27 read this). If you love j someone, you don't talk bad about them. | You don't steal from them or covet their i wife or home, car or anything of theirs. Now ! here is a very important fact. If you love ! someone, you forgive them of any wrong j doing. Jesus said in many places in the Bi- - ble "you must forgive, if you want to be for- j given". Just simply pray for those who do i you wrong. This is Jesus speaking. Matt, j 5:44 "But I say unto you, Love your ene- a mies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you." I have had people tell me “Oh, yes, I love Jesus, I want to do right, but I can't forget." You have not forgiven, so God can't forgive you or bless you. There are three kinds of love. (1) Emotional or sexual love. (2) Brotherly love, or the way you love your Mother. (3) Godly love. The only kind that last or really amounts to anything The only way you can love all people. If you want a free book on How to Love or What Love Is, please write me and I will send it as my gift to you. Nuggetts of Truth Rev.
