V IRGINIA Phone 075-3349 SAMPLE 25' One-third of Rappahannock teachers new By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock N*w« Staff Writer More than one-third of the teaching force in the Rappahannock County public school system — 24 among a staff of 69 — will be teaching in the county for the first time when doors open for students on Monday. This year’s Rappahannock teacher turnover rate is higher than in the surrounding counties of Culpeper, Warren and Page. Culpeper will have 32 new teachers out of 275, Warren will have 38 out of 256 and Page will have 29 out of 216. The teachers coming to Rappahannock have varying degrees of experience, but teachers who are just beginning their careers raise the most concern when a turnover rate is discussed. Of 20 new teachers surveyed, six have no prior teaching experience, four have only substituting experience and 10 have taught before. In an effort to assist beginning teachers and address some of the concerns, the state changed its teaching certificate requirements on July 1. Prior to July 1, students graduat ing with a teaching degree automatically received a five-year teaching certificate. Now, graduates whose schools did not send the necessary information to Richmond in time or those Profiles, page 10 who graduated or will graduate after the July 1 deadline received a two-year probationary certificate. James Madison University will be coordinating the Beginning Teacher Assistance Program in this area. During the two-year period, groups from the university will make periodic visits to schools with teachers who have the probationary certificate. The assessment team will make classroom observations to determine how well beginning teachers demonstrate their competency in certain areas. Teachers who fail to demonstrate their competency will be given assistance and will receive three chances to pass the assessment. When a teacher passes the assess ment, he or she receives the regular five-year renewable Virginia Collegiate Professional Teaching Certificate. The program defines a competent teacher “as one who possesses certain knowledge and has the ability to translate this knowledge into appropriate classroom teaching behaviors.” The program does not equate a competent teacher with an effective teacher. The committee will assess 14 areas of competency for each teacher, including: the time students spend in planned learning activities; how students are held responsible for completing assignments; how clearly the lesson is presented; how the teacher compensates for individual students’ needs; and howconsistent the teacher’s rules are. “It’s time that beginning teachers get help early on to develop into proficient teachers,” said Margaret Piper, principal at Rappahannock County Elementary School. “This program will help the teachers while it assures the community that it has competent teachers, and it will let the university staff know w-here they need to work harder in a teacher’s education.” Principals ready for new year and new teachers By JANE BANGLEY 4 Rappahannock News Staff Writer Administration staff at the high school and elementary school are looking forward to a good, if busier than usual, school year. Since there are 24 new teachers among the system’s 69, elementary school Principal Margaret Piper and high school Principal Robert Chappel expect to spend more time on new teacher orientation. “They come in good teachers,” said Piper. “Their biggest hurdle is learning little details like their way around the building and the way we do things here.” The elementary school will have 11 new teachers and a new library aide. The new school psychologist’s office will be at the elementary school, too. Piper said that the number of new teachers means that she and the other administrators will have to be available to give guidance and answer questions. Both schools also use a teacher buddy system that pairs experienced teachers with new Rappahannock teachers. Despite the extra time involved in getting new teachers acquainted with their jobs, Piper does not think that a high number of teachers entering the system harms the quality of education in any way. “It didn’t in 1980-81 when we had 17 neu teachers here, and some of our finest teachers came out of that group.” She said that teacher turnover rates seem to go in cycles. “The reasons I heard from leaving teachers this year were that they needed more money or more fringe benefits, they wanted to get closer to their homes, they were going back to school or changing to a different field in the teaching profession, and one was expecting a child,” Piper said. “Three things would attract teachers to the system — higher salaries and more fringe benefits, improved housing opportunities and more opportunities for young, single teachers to meet people and have a social life without driving 30 minutes.” The starting salary for teachers in Rappahannock County was $12,540 last year, ranking it 125th lowest of the state’s 135 school divisions, according to statistics supplied by the Virginia Education Association. Local teachers were given a 12% pay raise for the coming year. At the top of the scale, the maximum salary offered by the county was $18,308, 126th lowest of the 135 divisions in Virginia. When Piper talks to prospective teachers, she said that she emphasizes the county’s friendly people, the supportive parents and the well-behaved children. “I also point out the beauty of the county and the opportunities for sportsmen and people who enjoy outdoor activities,” Piper said. “I tell them about our strong, supportive school board and administration that wants the best for our students.” She said that the elementary school’s veteran teachers are “outstanding” and the staff has always enjoyed good working relationships. “We have a sound educational program here with a warm and nurturing environment and teachers who really do care,” Piper said. Piper believes that the good staff rapport at the elementary school is a result of good communication. “We have an open door policy here,” Piper said. “Teachers know that they can walk into the office and talk about anything — good or bad.” Communication will also be relied on at the high school where 13 new teachers will begin the year. “I expect to have questions and to spend more of my (Continued on Page 17) Satellite dish network proposed by REC The Rappahannock Electric Cooperative is surveying its customers to determine the need for an elaborate — but expensive — system to install satellite dishes which will be capable of receiving more than 100 channels. REC mailed letters to its customers in Rappahannock County describing the proposed system and asking that interested persons return an attached survey form. An analysis of those returns will be made at a later date and the results could be out as early as mid-September, according to Francis Updike of the REC. Should the program be started, the proposal suggests that a “separately operated but wholly owned subsidiary of REC” would be formed to provide the service. REC has not set a level of acceptance that would determine whether the company would undertake the proposal. In a telephone interview this week, Updike said that a “commitment (to provide such a service) has not been made, I’d like to make that clear from the start.” Some 15,000 surveys will be mailed to other customers later this week, in addition to some 15,000 already sent to customers throughout the service area. REC sells its service to 47,000 customers in 17 counties, Updike said. And, of those surveys received, 900 of the 2,430 returned — 37 percent — favored installing the system imme diately. Another 17 percent expressed a favorable response but wanted more information or said they would be in favor of a system at a later date, according to Updike. The system would be available to every resident in the service area, including those not subscribing to REC service. There is no such service available from any other co-op in Virginia. Updike said one such satellite dish system is available in Darlington, S. C. Under consideration is a plan to install a 10- or 12-foot satellite dish at each home for a $300 to $400 initial investment. In addition, a $40 monthly fee would be charged. In exchange, the operator would install the system completely, maintain it and provide the assurance that the company would “be there when needed,” according to the letter. Currently, there are about 600 REC customers in Rappahannock County located in the service area in the northeast comer of the county, according to Updike. According to the letter, the service is being considered as an alternative to individual rural home-owners buying their own satellite dish. Cable television is not available in Rappahannock County. REC is comparing the proposal to the mid-1980s when co-ops provided electrical service to rural customers. However, ordering a new satellite dish “is a little premature at the moment.” Rappahannock News Photo/Greg Turner CONSTRUCTION CREWS lay asphalt on U.S. 522/211 during the hot and humid weather last week. Crews are resurfacing the two-lane sections of the road. Water ordinance proposed By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer Discussion of an ordinance designed to keep sewage from seeping into the Washington public water supply will be continued at the September meeting of the town council. A public hearing on the proposed ordinance was recessed until next month’s meeting because Brad Fisher, director of the town water works, was not present at the August 14 council meeting. “We’ve got lots of questions and no answers since Brad’s not here,” said Mayor Peter Kramer. The State Water Control Board is requiring localities to pass what it calls cross-control ordinances in an effort to prevent any drawback of waste or chemicals from residences or businesses into water supplies. (Continued on Page 18) Council adopts historic district By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer A historic district ordinance designed to protect the style and general character of Washington was passed by the town council at its regular monthly meeting August 14. The ordinance establishes an Architectural Review Board that will review plans for changes to existing buildings requiring a building permit and for new buildings in town. The ARB will compare the exterior style, design, texture, material and color of buildings predominate in the town during two time periods with plans for changes or new construction. The town was divided into two sections. Area B comprises “those properties abutting Mt. Salem Avenue in its entirety and ail parcels on the south side of Business Rt. 211 and east of the lots designated as 119 and 115 on the Rappahannock County tax map for the town of Washington,” according to the ordinance. Properties 119 and 115 are now occupied by the Black Kettle Restaurant and Motel and Avon Hall. Buildings in Area B will be compared to architectural stvles from the town’s settlement to 1945. Continued on page 17 RAAC director stepping down to raise family By PAUL McFARLANE Kapphannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community, will take on a new look this fall. Laurie Marshall, who for the last two years served as executive director — the only paid director ever in the three years since RAAC was incorporated in July of 1982— has told the board of directors that she is leaving to have another child. By November, that very board will elect a replacement for the part-time job. She is leaving to “spend more time with my family,” one which is “expecting to grow” in January, as she puts it. At that time, she expects to have her second child. Devoting the time to RAAC — a local organization of nearly 300 people dedicated to promoting the arts — where only in the job description is the position defined as “part-time,” and raising a second child would simply be too much of a load, she says. Instead, she attempts to return to “a less intense life for awhile.” But she leaves behind an organization 'Laurie’s been a massive contributor to RAAC... a fantastic plus to the organization* —Sid Gottlieb that will surely miss her work and, certainly, her efforts and leadership. How much has Laurie Marshall meant to the development of RAAC? “Oh, Lord,” says Frank Reynolds, current president of the board. “She’s been there since the beginning. She’s just been great.” Sid Gottlieb, founding president of the group, thinks for a moment: “I think she’s been a pivotal person.” Gottlieb says Marshall has the “most difficult job” in RAAC because she is responsible for doling out job assignments but must answer for the successes and failures of other people. There have been only a few failures. “Laurie’s been a massive contributor to RAAC” and a “fantastic plus to the organization,” Gottlieb says. For someone who was one of 15 people who took on the challenge of organizing Rappahannock County’s artistic ranks, who saw that organization congeal into a 275-member group spanning five surrounding rural counties, Washington, D. C., and its suburbs, Laurie Marshall is very business-like about her decision to leave. “RAAC is much bigger than the executive director,” she says with the detachment of a corporate executive, downplaying her role. “There are dozens of other people who volunteer” to produce events, adds Marshall. She also says she hopes “the organization continues to do well, but I’m also ready for a break.” But what will happen next to the group that became synonymous with the work of local artists, writers, craftsmen and actors and just about anybody else who produced something that was once only a vision? “A mystery,” she says. “What will happen next?" she says, repeating the question. “No one ever knows what will happen next. But the board will find a very qualified, exciting person.” “Hopefully,” says Gottlieb, “they’ll get somebody with a slightly different outlook, quite frankly,” to attract a more diverse membership to a group Gottlieb describes as “upper-middle clas , new-immigrant.” Says Marshall, "We’re still wrestling with how to meet cultural needs in a wider variety of groups within the community.” “We’re going to try to fill her shoes,” says Reynolds. He adds: “We may change direction slightly — I’m not predicting that — but part of that may be determined by the type of person we get.” The efforts and energies of RAAC will continue. The group is “pretty much in line” with its five-year strategic audit, according Laurie Marshall to Gottlieb. After all, says Marshall, “RAAC is a long-term, positive institution” which has benefitted from a “community energy (Continued on Page 18)

Richmond police to enforce city’s ban on nudity RICHMOND — Police said last week they would enforce a new ordinance aimed at people who sunbathe and swim in the nude at the James River, but the law doesn’t mean officers will wade into the water in their uniforms to seize offenders. “I think, for the most part, common sense would dictate what the officers did,” said Maj. Joseph Higgins, who commands patrol operations for police here. “We would enforce the law as it occurs, whenever it’s possible.” Henry W. Richardson was the only member of the seven-person City Council to oppose the ordinance. Mr. Richardson asked Public Safety Director Jack M. Fulton if he realistically expected city police to wade out into the river to arrest nude sunbathers, especially with Richmond’s high homicide rate. Mr. Fulton replied that, while police officers must enforce all the laws on the books, he would not expect officers to go after violators of the nudity law to the neglect of other crimes. “I don’t think it will be a high priority, compared to crimes of violence and things of that nature,” Mr. Higgins said. The new ordinance makes public nudity a misdemeanor publishable by a fine of up to $1,000 and up to a year in jail. Want to buy some rocks? MANAKIN — Not since the pet rock craze of the mid1970s has one of nature’s most abundant resources enjoyed such consumer success as the stones, rocks, slates and boulders hauled away daily from four Luck Stone Corp. retail stores in Virginia. “They’ve been an unqualified success and have helped diversify our business tremendously,” said Joseph Newton, manager of the company’s flagship stone store here, a few miles west of Richmond in Goochland County. The other retail stores are at Newport News, Charr Virginia Roundup lottesville and Sterling in Loudoun County. Joseph Andrews, Luck’s vice president for corporate development, said the family-owned crushed stone business that began in 1923 was little known except by contractors and builders until it decided in 1977 to establish its first retail stone supermarket. “A lot of folks come in and say they want to use some stone around their home but don’t quite know how. They get their ideas from our examples,” Mr. Newton said. Outside the store, 30 bins contain everything from river gravel at $19 a ton to white calcite aggregate at $80 a ton. Shovels and heavy plastic bags are handy customer conveniences. Siamese twins born ROANOKE — A Roanoke woman gave birth last Wednesday to 4Vi-pound twin girls joined at the chest and abdomen. The twins were flown to Philadelphia for treatment later in the day, a hospital spokesman said. Doctors said the twins were in critical condition and that their chance for survival was low because they were born at 29 weeks — 11 weeks premature. The twins were put aboard a charter aircraft with a neonatal transport team at 7:30 p.m. and flown to the Philadelphia Children’s Hospital, said Vance Whitfield, spokesman for Roanoke Memorial Hospital. Inmate convicted again RICHMOND — A State Penitientiary inmate has been convicted of criminal involvement in last month’s uprisings at the Richmond facility and has been sentenced to four more years in prison. Circuit Judge Thomas N. Nance on Monday sentenced Timothy L. Reed, 26, to three years for felony property damage and 12 months for misdemeanor property damage. Reed, who did not testify, has served 2.V2 years of a 29year Albemarle County sentence on robbery, murder, assault and weapon convictions. Twenty-two other inmates face indictments on a variety of felony and misdemeanor charges in connection with the two-day uprisings in the prison’s C Cellblock. Group considers Va. LEXINGTON, Ky. — A decision on whether to move its headquarters from Lexington will be made by the Council of State Governments in December, after trips by a selection panel to four proposed sites, a spokeswoman said today. The group’s executive committee approved visits by the site-selection panel to Lexington, Chicago, Indianapolis and Northern Virginia during a meeting Tuesday in Honolulu, said Susan Mohler, the council’s public relations and marketing coordinator. Representatives of each area made a pitch to the selection committee Monday. Gov. Martha Layne Collins urged the panel to recommend that Lexington, home to the council for the past 16 years, be retained as the group’s headquarters. The selection committee will visit the proposed sites in September and October. It then will provide a report that will be reviewed at the council’s annual meeting Dec. 5-6 at Lake Tahoe, Nev., Ms. Mohler said. 'V Prosecutor gets off VIRGINIA BEACH — City Attorney J. Dale Bimson committed a technical violation of the state’s conflict-of-interest act but will not be prosecuted because of the statute of limitations, says Commonwealth’s Attorney Paul A. Sciortino. Mr. Sciortino called the violation minor and said he was satisfied that Mr. Bimson committed no other conflict violations while working as a hearing officer for the state. “I don’t think he had any intention to break the law,” Mr. Sciortino said Tuesday. “He didn’t do it knowingly.” Mr. Sciortino ordered an investigation in late June after a Chesapeake resident filed complaints about the city attorney working as a state hearing officer arbitrating disputes between government agencies and citizens. Records show that Mr. Bimson earned more than $7,000 since 1978 on hearings for the Education Department and more than $1,000 in 1982 and 1983 on sessions for the Commerce Department. Mr. Sciortino said all the complaints were unfounded except for Mr. Bimson’s having held one hearing in 1979 with the local School Board. Although Mr. Bimson was allowed by state law to conduct the session, he was required to disclose his involvement in writing to the City Council and the School Board. “Although it appears that the parties to the hearing were aware of Mr. Bimson’s relationship to the city, it appears that the written disclosure as a matter of record was not made, thus constituting a technical violation of the statute,” Mr. Sciortino said. The prosecutor said the misdemeanor violation is covered by a statute of limitations of two years, and six years have elapsed since Bimson had the hearing. « • Library aide, bus drivers appointed The Rappahannock School Board made several appointments after its closed session August 13. Kim Braader was named the new library aide for the elementary school. The board appointed Christine Timbers and Charles Jenkins to bus driver positions and Connie Huff will be a substitute driver. The board also accepted the resignation of Monica Toman, a teacher, contingent upon the hiring of a suitable replacement. • Joins VPI staff Dr. Ann Baumgardner, a 1974 graduate of Rappahannock County High School, has joined the staff at Virginia Tech as a professor of psychology. Ann received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1978 from Emory and Henry College and began work on her doctorate at the University of Missouri in 1981. She completed that work and was awarded a doctorate in Social Psychology with high honors. Ann is the daughter of Ruth and Fanning Baumgardner of Washington. * • LFCC registration set „ R?*Stt^?tion for'tsJ1 quarter courses aCfcord Fairfax Community College m Middletown will begin today.

Warrenton police chief out a month ,Warrf1nton Police Chief Dale L. Koglin will be off work for at least a month recovering from gall bladder surgery. The chief had complained of abdominal pains for several weeks. He was being tested for ulcers when the gall bladder stones were discovered, said Lt. Morton Robson who is acting chief until Mr. Koglin returns. Chief Koglin, 36, had his gall bladder removed last Tuesday at Fauquier Hospital. He probably will be hospitalized for another week, and won’t return to work for four to six weeks, Lt. Robson said. Landfill injunction granted A Fauquier Circuit Court judge last week temporarily barred the county from buying a 207-acre proposed landfill site until the matter receives a full hearing sometime this autumn. Last Wednesday, Taxpayers Against Waste asked Judge W. Shore Robertson to prevent the county from closing the $352,000 contract with Dell Ennis because the citizens group claims the zoning laws require the county to first obtain a special exception permit for landfill use before buying the site for a “public purpose”. Judge Robertson didn’t rule on the merits of that claim, but by granting a hearing, he acknowledged TAW’s right to appeal County Attorney James P. Regional Roundup Downey’s opinion that the county can take title on the proposed landfill site without first getting the required special exception permit, which would stipulate the precise use for the land. If the judge had not granted the hearing, the county would have closed the controversial land purchase Aug. 15 as planned. 1,600 students expected Clarke County’s schools expect to greet 1,600 pupils when doors open Aug. 26. The five-school system will begin a year of self-study on its goals and objectives in preparation for an outside evaluation in 1986-87. Assistant Superintendent William Overbey says faculty and staff will “look in the mirror at themselves” as they evaluate the schools’ programs and personnel and the outside community to see if the school system’s philosophy and goals are in keeping with the needs of the county. The outside team will use the final report from the self study in the same type of evaluation the following year. The evaluation is necessary for accreditation by the Southern Sctfbols Association as well as by the state. Clarke avoids lawsuit Clarke County was successful in its move to get out from under a suit brought by a former inmate at the Clarke County jail, but several other defendants, including a Winchester police officer, the state department of corrections and the Clarke sheriff and jail personnel, remain in the litigation. Anna Bell Bowen has charged that her arm was seriously injured by Officer D. L. Nixon when he arrested her in Winchester June 30, 1984, and that her plea for medical attention went unmet by corrections officers at the Clarke jail, where she was incarcerated. Under a regional program, women prisoners from Winchester, Frederick Shenandoah and Warren counties, as well as Clarke, are housed in Clarke County’s jail. Males and juveniles, segregated according to whether they have been convicted or are awaiting trial, are housed in jails in other counties. Clarke County was listed as a defendant because it is responsible for management of the jail, as well as some funding. Most of the money to operate the jail comes from the state, through the Department of Corrections. Rain came too late Fauquier residents welcomed an all-day soaker Sunday but the inch of rain did little to help parched crops, lawns and gardens. Fauquier Agricultural Extension Agent W. C. Brown said damage to Rollison charged with embezzling A former Ross Industry employee allegedly embezzled at least $4,129.77 from the Midland company which manufactures food processing equipment. David Jake Rollison, 37, of Route 637, Huntly, has been charged with two counts of embezzling, and more charges may result from a continuing investigation, authorities said. Commonwealth’s Attorney Charles Foley said the amount could reach $500,000. Rollison, former Ross comptroller, allegedly embezzled $1,202.31 on June 27. He issued and cashed a false payroll check to Ronald Bruce Rise, according to court records. l He also received and cashed checks worth $2,927.46 from Rise and Waymon E. Boone on July 11, the records state. Neither Rollison nor defense attorney Jonathan Lynn could be reached for comment this week. Henry (Bud) Ross, the company’s president, said Friday, “We noticed a great deal of irregularities” in the accounting. But on the advice of his at tomeys, Mr. Ross refused to comment further. The firm’s attorneys, Costello, Dickinson, Johnston, Greenless, Coleman and McLoughlin in Winchester, could not be reached for comment. Rollison’s preliminary hearing was scheduled for Aug. 12 in General District Court, but the case was continued to Sept. 9 because defense attorney Lynn is on vacation. Mr. Foley said he probably would drop the two charges on Sept. 9 because the investigation won’t be complete. The prosecutor said he will send the two original and any additional charges straight to the grand jury which meets Sept. 23. State Police are handling the case because investigators are specially trained in accounting. Special Agent Lindsey Jett has completed “intensive” training and knows how to interpret pay accounts and billing records, Mr. Foley said. The investigation spans about two years — the time Rollison worked at DAVID J. ROLLISON ... former Ross comptroller the firm, Mr. Foley said. Mr. Jett refused to comment because the case still is under investigation. Rollison, well-known in local foxhunting and social circles, recently moved to Rappahannock County from Fauquier.

The second significant drought in three years has taken its toll but many water users said this week it could have been worse. “So far, I can’t really say we’ve been hurt by the drought,” said Fauquier Water and Sanitation Authority General Manager Steve Gordon. “Our well production hasn’t really dropped.” Blood stains may match missing woman’s type Traces of blood found along the Washington and Old Dominion Trail in Loudoun County match a mixture of blood of the parents of Judith Lynne DeMaria, a 27-year-old woman who has been missing since Aug. 2, according to spokesman for the Loudoun Sheriffs Department. The sheriffs spokesman said the blood analysis does not “confirm” that the blood found belongs to DeMaria, but “the chances that it does not are remote.” She said the investigation is continuing. DeMaria, a tennis instructor from Capitol Courts in Sterling, was last seen on the trail Aug.2, and is described as 5’6”, weighing 140 pounds, having black hair and brown eyes.

Mon -Fri Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation v____J THURSDAY, AUGUST 22,1985 The turnover When the doors to our public schools are opened for students on Monday morning, nearly one-third of the faces behind the teacher’s desk in each classroom will be new to the Rappahannock County educational system. That is a disturbing statistic. The tremendous turnover rate is a serious indictment of our education system as a whole — from the county supervisor passing the budget to the small landowner paying his taxes. Good teachers are hard to find. We have been told that for years. Keeping good ones here, apparently, is even more difficult. If we are to provide our children with the best education we possibly can, we must do everything in our power to keep the best teachers in their classrooms. The principals at both schools say the quality of education will not suffer despite the battalion of replacements. We rope they are right; we fear they are not. Any operation which turns over more than 33 percent of its work force is sure to suffer, at least initially. With hard work and patience, the new teachers will, we trust, do a commendable job. But energy is wasted on training new teachers when it could be better spent refining the art and skills of experienced teachers. Thanks, Laurie Laurie Marshall will be somewhat embarrassed by all of the attention heaped upon her in the pages of this week’s publication. Nonetheless, it is her due. Laurie announced publicly that she is resigning her position as paid executive director of RAAC, the Rappahannock Assocation for the Arts and the Community. That resignation, will become final in November, roughly two months before she expects to give birth to her second child. She will be missed. As the first — and only — paid executive director of RAAC, Laurie was responsible for many of the programs sponsored by RAAC. Her hard work, her management abilities and her artistic abilities were all put to a test. She passed each one. The job description called for the position to be on a “parttime” basis. Those who know her work will attest to the fact that Laurie’s effort was far from part time. Although she has tried to deflect much of the praise and congratulations — and thanks — coming her way, she was no less a major force behind the establishment and growth of a valuable and worthy project in our community. R A AC started as a seed in the minds of three men * who sought to save the fledgling Mountain Magic Theatre. From those original three, others — including one Laurie Marshall — joined the movement until 15 or so key members formed the group that today boasts nearly 300 members and operates on an annual budget of some $34,000. There were plenty of volunteers, to be sure, but Laurie was charged with putting together all the pieces. For that, Laurie, we’d like to stand and applaud and shout Bravo for a job truly done well. PRappahannock Heritag< The D. Lyle Miller farm in Gid Brown Hollow On ’doing a lot for’ ailments By EUGENE McCARTHY Rappahannock News Guest Columnist A number of pundits have been declaring that the President, through his making public and available to the media details of the condition of his colon, has “done a lot for” cancer. I don’t know whather these writers had firm evidence of what the President had done, or were assuming good results, or rather, were merely justifying their excessive and detailed press coverage. The theme was picked up and extended to credit Rock Hudson with having “done a lot for” AIDS by making public his condition. Others in the media went back to credit Mrs. (former First Lady) Betty Ford for “having done a lot for” breast cancer and alcoholism. This disposition in public figures, including presidents and their wives, to go public with their physical disabilities is a relatively new development. President Roosevelt’s disability was publicly known but was treated with decent respect. Pictures 6f him in his wheelchair were rare, and the . public was spared pictures of his f struggling to assume a standing position behind a rostrum. Harry Truman, if he had any serious physical ailments, kept quiet about them. He may have done some good for bourbon, and for cussing, but none for pain-killers or anti-acid potions or tablets. His wife, Bess, was similarly reserved about her health. The public did hear a lot about ileitis during President Eisenhower’s bout with that affliction. Some persons may be more ready now than before to admit having ileitis, although there was never any stigma attached to the disease, which seems to have no social significance. Commentators were not moved to say that the president had “done a lot for” ileitis. So, too, his heart attack eugene McCarthy, poet, author, former U.S. Senator from Minnesota and candidate for the presidency, now lives in the F.T. Valley near Slate Mills. seemed to be accepted as more or less standard. President Kennedy did not make public reports on the state of his health, or on the medicines and physical therapy he was taking. He did publicly relate the use of his rocking chair to his bad back, and, possibly, by doing do, “did something for” rocking chairs. Reporters with medical interests during the Kennedy Administration seemed to be satisfied with obstetrics and pediatrics. President Johnson was restrained. He seemed quite pleased with his gall bladder operation, arid willingly showed his scar. No one claimed then or since that his exposure did much for gall stones or for the treatment of diseases of the gall bladder. By contrast. President Nixon played down his phebitis, missing a chance, possibly, of “doing a lot for” the disorder which seems to attract little attention. Jimmy Carter, as the Democratic nominee, asked for medical reports from all of his vice-presidential applicants, and made public his own problem of hemorrhoids, but there is some evidence accumulating which suggests that he did have some impact on public attitudes towards this ailment: Hemorrhoids are not yet talked about in social situations, but the most noticeable change in attitude toward the problem is in television advertising. Until relatively recently, hemorrhoid ads were restricted to commercials during the afternoon soap operas and for late-night television viewing. But ads offering relief if not cure of hemorrhoids are now appearing more frequently during prime time television, especially, I have noted, during the CBS evening news. In the reign of Walter Cronkite as anchorman, it was common to include at or near the end of his news broadcast, an advertisement for Exlax, after which Walter would say, in his reassuring tone, “That’s the way it is,” but never a word for hemorrhoid treatment. With the coming of Dan Rather, the Ex-lax ads seem to have all but disappeared during the evening news, to be replaced by advertisements for hemorrhoid relief. The three most popularly advertised brands of relief are Preparation H, Anusol and a new entry called Tucks. In a recent newscast Rather yielded to the advertisers for a Tucks commercial about halfway through his program, and again at the end of his program for the old stand-by, Preparation H, following which, Rather signed off with “That’s it from CBS.” President Carter may well deserve belated credit for “having done a lot for” this annoyipg affliction, as the evening news will attest. Letters Coverage criticized To the editor: It is quite obvious that the new editor did not know the seriousness of the solid waste problem in Rappahannock County when he wrote the article on “Trash” that appeared on the August 8 issue of the Rappahannock News. The Solid Waste Advisory Board was appointed by the Board of Supervisors, and has worked long and hard in an endeavor to find the best solution to the problem, from the standpoint of ecology and economics. The report was serious and it was in poor judgment to make light of it. Thanks to Daphne Hutchinson, Theresa Reynolds and Jane Bangley, there was a paper published that week. The dismissal of the former editor without any notice was an unethical act on the part of the paper’s owner. 0. R. LINDSTROM Washington Land grant a gift To the editor: I represent the Macedonia Baptist Church of Flint Hill, who were recent recipients of a gift deed from Rev. and Mrs. John Pendleton. This list of real estate conveyances reported in your newspaper of recent date indicated that the Rev. and Mrs. Pendleton had sold this property to the church for the sum of $500. This was in fact an error, and the only reason for listing this consideration is the fact that the Macedonia Baptist Church shouldered some of the expense relative to clearing the title to this property. In fact, the Rev. and Mrs. Pendleton gave this land to the church and I would appreciate it very much if your newspaper would run a brief correction indicating that this was the case. DOUGLAS BAUMBARDNER Attorney Washington off the cuff Paul McFarlane When I was in the fifth grade, I reluctantly took home my report card at the conclusion of the second term. As usual, my grades dropped in nearly every subject from those achievements recorded in the first term, the way every report card noted my acquired laziness. Yet, in the comments section of the card, my teacher wrote, “Paul has worked diligiently this term.” Now, I didn’t even know what diligently meant, let alone how to pronounce it. When I opened the dictionary later that day — much of which was spent hiding in my room trying to escape the wrath of parents who never appreciated the humor in my rollercoaster scholastic career the way I did — I learned that I had worked hard during that last term. So how, then, could my grades had fallen off so severely? I couldn’t answer the question then, I Teachers can’t answer it now\ But I think I have a clue. In the 10th grade, I was guaranteed a “B” in English, even if I never opened the book, which happened on more than one occasion. The teacher, who was also the adviser to the school’s newspapers and one of the great raunchy joke tellers of all time, became a friend. I learned a lot from that teacher. Very little of that knowledge was of significant worth inside the classroom, however. My ninth grade teacher broke down and cried in front of the class the day he told us he was leaving the honorable profession go to New York City and try to make a career of acting. That same year, my science teacher tried to have me expelled and nearly became the first teacher to flunk me. He was the teacher who once said to me, “wise guys end up sidewise.” Or in the newspaper business, I think. A year later, my band instructor threatened to throw me out of marching band because I didn’t raise my knees high enough during marching practice. I almost begged him to do me the favor and throw me out. The thing is, you just can’t tell about teachers, much the same way you can’t tell about students. The public school system in this country is so difficult to evaluate. I alike a business which turns profits, schools are asked to turn empty spaces into ideas. Profits you can enumerate; ideas cannot be summarily listed and counted. Standardized test scores count for only so much. What about making friends? What about dealing logically with small, everyday headaches and conflicts? How can you teach the emotion of joy derived from creating music? How do you create the mind set of a 13-year-old standing on the free throw line with the outcome of the basketball game resting in the balance of that youngster’s success ratio? Geometric equations and historical facts are one thing, getting to appreciate and accurately assess one’s own worth and place on this Earth quite another. My senior government teacher enlightened us to the fact that this country’s forefathers were probably just as attuned to the needs of big business and making money as politicians of the current era. Our forefathers just received more favorable press coverage. It was information offered in no division-approved textbook. That same man was later named New York State’s Teacher of the Year. I won’t even mention my four Spanish teachers who failed miserably in their efforts to make me memorize even the shortest of sentences. To this day, after five years of barely passing the subject, I have no desire to learn — or be reminded of — a foreign langauge. Today, the joke is that English is the language most foreign to me. Supposedly, grading students is fairly easy. There are tests and quizzes and papers and homework assignements and classroom participation grades. All those factors are assessed a value and are considered important. Only if you are on the border line of two grades does throwing erasers and snapping the bra of the girl in front of you count for anything recorded on the report card. Remember, if you will, the motivation teachers inflicted on malingerers: If you don’t do well on your 8th-grade algebra test, you may flunk the class, never go to college, never get a good job and be the laughing stock of the entire town: “Oh, there’s goes McFarlane,” one townsperson might say to another years after failing that test. “He failed a math exam 14 years ago, flunked the course, never went to college and has been a bum ever since. Plus, I think he has dandruff. I know he can’t speak Spanish.” So, instead of studying math the night before, some students worried the entire night about turning out like a bum. Teachers held all the cards: It was their game, their rules, their deck. But for students to grade their teachers, a far more subjective scale is needed. It is the same scale parents must use to grade their school system. There are simply not enough tests, not enough factors on which to assign a value and come up with a concrete appraisal of schools or those who work in them. “He who can does," George Bernard Shaw wrote in 1903. “He who can’t teaches." Woody Allen added, “He who can’t teach teaches gym." That thrilled my gym-teaching father to no end. “Soap and education are not as sudden as a massacre, but they are more deadly in the long run, ” a cynical Mark Twain wrote in 1867. “How do you thank someone who took you from crayons to perfume.’’— LuLu, in To Sir, With Love. Now, before this turns into a soap-box sermon or editorial on teacher pay - destinations for which we are currently not charted — let me say that when I sat down to write this column I set out to write about teachers and the effects they have on their students. Opening day is at hand, you know. Anybody worth the weight of their composition notebook knows the value of a good teacher. And teachers — committed teachers — know they will never earn the salary of a hustling saleman. Both facts are understood. Still, good teachers, and we’ve all had at least one even for a brief moment, will offer each of us something we will keep forever. A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops,” Henry Adams Brooks wrote in The Education of Henry Brooks. That’s true, more so than we allow ourselves to sometimes admit. And not every pleasant memory of our school days was the direct result of something the teacher did. Just looking away was often enough. Some of the greatest memories of my youth are based near the classroom: -Water bottle fights in chemistry. -Dennis, in ninth grade English, using a spelling word in an example sentence, reciting, “deduct jumped over the defense ” and getting an “A” for his efforts. -When my third grade teacher directed “the love birds to please fly apart,” a certain violation of my constitutional rights, had I known the first thing about the Constitution in the third grade. -When Frank jumped from a secondstory ledge into the classroom dressed as SuperHero. Frank got into big trouble for providing that memory. There are scores of others and none of them can be graded. There is no space available for such things on a report card. But they were great.

GEORGE BOWLES i Byrd word For well over half a century, one of the things which has made Virginia politics interesting has been the question, asked in almost any given election, ‘What’s Harry Byrd going to do this time around?” This year is no exception. The world is waiting for the “word from Byrd” in the race for governor between Repubican Wyatt Durrette and Democrat Gerald Baliles as well as, perhaps, an arcane chirp signaling a choice in the other statewide races. During the four decades in which Sen. Harry F. Byrd Sr. presided over the political affairs of the commonwealth, the question was asked with something approaching a Presbyterian fatalism. That was because what Harry Byrd did was very likely to be what most of the rest of the state would do on Election Day. Since the elder Byrd’s passing in 1966, the same question has been asked in each major election season of his son and successor, Sen. Harry F. Byrd Jr. The piquancy of the query has been preserved mainly because Byrd Jr. left the Democratic Party to become an independent in 1970. To be sure, the younger Byrd’s responses have not packed the definite wallop of those of his father. They have, however, had their influence, and waiting for the “word” has always contributed an added spark of interest to the Old Dominion’s electoral process. This is so even though “Little Harry” retired from the Senate in 1983. That spark, however, was not usually generated by any particular mystery about who would get the Byrd nod. His choices were generally well known. What provided the interest were the exquisite nuances which surrounded the way in which they were communicated to the faithful. Who was first to be informed? Who was not informed first who expected to be? What determined the timing, which the Byrds considered all important? What trade-offs had been made to placate any disappointed Byrd lieutenants? Questions by reporters before the word was passed were brushed aside with rosy-cheeked good humor by both father and son. “It’s a little too early to answer that,” was the stock reply, “but we may have something to say about it later on.” This familiar scenario was played out again earlier this month when Vice President George Bush came to Richmond to participate in a star-studded fund-raising luncheon for Durrette. Attending the event, along with some 300 party faithful, were former Gov. Mills E. Godwin Jr., Sen. John W. Warner, Sen. Paul S. Trible, 7th District Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr. and Byrd. Reporters asked the former senator if his presence meant he was endorsing Durrette’s candidacy. The affable Byrd gave a typically affable Byrd reply. “At some later day we may have something to say,” he replied cheerily. Now this, dear reader, is so much Byrd seed. Of course Byrd will endorse Durrette. At least he will unless the GOP candidates commits some kind of horrendous faux pas or suffers a recurrence of the political moderation which marked his service as a member of the House of Delegates a decade ago. The question now is one of timing, and that could be determined by whether or not President Reagan’s health permits him to come to Virginia for a campaign appearance in Durrett’e behalf. In any event, GOP strategists will be checking their tea leaves in search of the optimum time to formally “play the Byrd card.” With Byrd, Godwin and many other members of the so-called “Old Guard” out of office and advancing in years, the question naturally arises as to how much political clout they still wield in the politics of the 1980s. At least for this year in conservative Virginia, the view here is that they still wield a great deal, especially among older voters. But it is also probable that their influence in declining and that 1985, or perhaps 1989, will be their last hurrah in gubernatorial politics. €>ut-dDMEf)e-&tttc CHARLES CLETUS BURKE takes time to pose for a photo in 1944 during WW II. He had also written a poem to his mother, Mrs. Charles Burke of Sperryville, that was printed in the 1944 Blue Ridge Guide. The following are a few lines from the poem. “Well, here I am overseas, so far away from you, And I’ve discovered many things that before I never knew. I miss so many things you did through all my life for me, I was too selfish, Mom of mine, and never stopped to see. . .And if from war I should return, Oh Mom of mine, I pray — Teach me again those little things, you taught me yesterday.” This Was The News In Bygone Rappahannock Times. .. 25 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS A much needed new Rappahannock County High School — no longer a dream but a brick, steel and concrete reality — will open September 1. Reposing on a 20-acre lot three miles west of Washington on Rts. 522-211, the school was built at a total cost of $284,487.55. It is a beautiful structure of which Rappahannock can well be proud. Seven classrooms, painted pastel shades, well-lighted and ventilated, with blackboards and bulletin boards in each, will welome the approximately 275 students when schools open September 1 In addition, some of the elementary schools have been closed and others consolidated. 20 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS A siege of robbery and vandalism has gripped Rappahan nock County in the past week. In addition to the safe-cracking late last Tuesday at the Washington Apple Growers Co-op., a garage was robbed and a school broken into during the weekend. Rappahannock County High School, located near Washington, was broken into during the weekend by vandals who apparently had only destruction in mind. 15 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS Rappahannock County proved to be a stronger market than most during the past year, according to a national survey of business. The survey cited rising personal and family incomes and increased consumer spending in locai retail stores. It averaged out, per household, to $5,947, compared to the year before average of $5,783. Rappahannock County retail stores were able to chalk up gross sales of $3,954 million. i —i ARE YOU QUALIFIED TO VOTE NOVEMBER 5?

The advisory committee recommends that customers not be allowed to possess more than two drinks at any one time and no retail licensee be allowed to sponsor “all-you-can-drink” specials at one price. The proposed changes will be the topic of discussion at a public hearing October 22 at the ABC Departmental Central Office Building Complex on Hermitage Road in Richmond. Proposals made last week by the advisory committee other than those dealing with happy hour regulations were “generally housekeeping and deregulation of the alcoholic beverage industry,” according to ABC Board Chairman Robert J. Grey Jr. Those other changes include proposing to allow restaurants to stock and sell miniatures — those bottles containing 50ml of liquor — in hotel rooms and recommending that the words “liquor” and “spirits” be allowed to appear in media and exterior advertising of a mixed beverage licensee. Proposed changes in the happy hour regulations are similar to those recommended by a citizens’ ad hoc committee that was formed to study happy hours. Following its October 22 meeting, the ABC Board will finalize the proposed changes and send them to the governor for final approval. Should they be approved, the regulations would go into effect in December. A package of the proposed regulation changes is available by writing the ABC Board at P.O. Box 27491, Richmond, Va. 23261.

Sure, once it was comforting to think that your home was your castle. Castles don't provide the security they once did. Better to view our homes as moral and spiritual fortresses. Here we can live our beliefs and principles, and provide example to our children. Here we shelter those we love from ideas and influences that would harm them. Except that today only a fraction of life is lived at home. The individual must gain a strength and integrity to carry to the street! It is gained—and shared with those we love—as families worship God. At home and at church we build our castle! Scnplives selected by the Andean B.bte Society Copyright 1985.

Rappahannock News Photo/Greg Turner A team of State Highway Department workers rolled out new pavement on Washington’s streets and on Route 211 last week. Paving work continues on 211. Social news in and around Castleton Reverend Edward Wines is home after 12 days in Fauquier Hospital. We wish him a speedy recovery! Summer vacations are sadly coming to a close with school starting next week for many students. We love vacations, so please call your correspondent with the highlights of your time away from home this summer. This week’s vacation recalls the lovely lazy beach days at Ocean City, Md. . .riding the waves, feeling the warmth of the sand, watching the sea gulls swooping for food at the end of the day, walking on that never ending boardwalk and smelling the mixture of Thrasher’s french fries and Fisher’s caramel popcorn. This was the memory lane for Richard and Nancy Schoppet who have spent many a good time at the shore. The Schoppets stayed at 49th on the beach, a short distance from where daughter, Pamela Tribino, was living and working this summer. Tommy, their 13-year-old son, and his friend, David Mosher, of Battle Mountain enjoyed “women watching” and spending all their money. Well, of course! Sixteen-year-old Richard Tribino and 18-year-old Jim Racer of Washington are recovering from a rough sun scorched week in Nags Head, N. C. They had hard times with Jim losing his glasses in the water, Richard getting stung by jellyfish and both getting broiled by the sun. So after returning home to Castleton, Richard and Jim decided to throw a “Happy We’re Back” party and invited many notables in the area. Mike “Ole Blue Eyes” DeLuise of Washington, Lucky (yep, the real one) McCoy of Washington and Brian “The Great” Kritz of Amissville. They had a special guest, John Fannon, a famous wrestler who was outside in the pouring rain under the lamp post challenging everyone to a toss on the ground. It was quite a lively evening with music, dancing, billiards, etc. James “All Star” Dennis of Flint Hill was the last to leave. . .and all was quiet at Blue Knoll. David Fridenstine goes back to Crusade set at Culpeper The Hoppers and Connie, a southern gospel singing group, will perform at a crusade set for August 30 at 7 p.m. at the Culpeper County High School. Also scheduled is Evangelist Steve Messick. There is no admission charge and the public is invited. The Hoppers and Connie were named Top Mixed Group by the Southern Gospel Music Association. Connie Hopper was named “Queen of Gospel Music” for the second consecutive year at the National Quartet Convention in Nashville last October. Band Boosters to meet The Rappahannock Band Boosters will hold their first meeting of the school year on September 4 at the elementary school. Parents of high school or elementary school band students are invited. The 7:30 p.m. meeting will concern raising money, the prime subject of every meeting. More information may be obtained by calling Chris Salmon at 675-3137. Beahm reunion set September 1 The second annual reunion of descendants of George Washington Beahm is scheduled for September 1 at the Rappahannock County Park shelter. Friends and relatives are invited to attend the reunion which begins at 9 a.m. and are asked to bring a covered dish. A program is scheduled for noon. Dinner will be at 1 p.m. and music performed at 2 p.m. More information may be obtained by calling Mary Ellen Lurke at 6753535. By NANCY SCHOPPET Phone 937-5234 Randolph Macon Academy in Front Royal a week early because he is an officer. David will be a senior and his sister, Lynn, will be a sophomore. Don and Helen Fridenstine are their grandparents and will be anxious to have them visit on the weekends during the coming year. The Fridenstine children are looking forward to an interesting and challenging year at RMA. “If we would have new knowledge, we must get a whole world of new questions”. . .Susan K. Langer, Philosophy in a New Key Accountant explains how to keep money sate By Q. EARL YANCEY Rappahannock News Special Writer In the past three years, more than 300 banks and savings institutions have failed. In 1984, 79 banks failed, more than in any year since the depression of the ‘30s. Fifty-five banks have failed so far in 1985, and the total is expected to hit 100. More than 900 banks and hundreds of savings and loans are on a “problem list” of institutions considered to be in difficulty. With such alarming statistics, do you know whether your various accounts are safe? Savings institutions fail for a number of reasons — risky investments that don’t work out, mismanagement or irregularities that may approach womg-doing, and fraud. The majority of banks, savings and loan associations and credit unions are federally insured. Some, however, are not. Federal insurance on deposits carries the full backing of the United States Federal Government. Though you might get higher interest rates at non-federally insured institutions, you risk losing everything. Look for the emblems that indicate your deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for banks, the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance (FSLIC) for savings and loan associations, and the National Credit Union Share In Mobil OIL HEAT & BURNER SERVICE, INC. now serving Rappahannock County Exxon & Mobil Petroleum Products for the home, farm and business Oil Heat & Burner Service, Inc. 2nd Street & Commerce Avenue P.O. Box 1300 Telephone 703-635-4155 & 636-6156 Front Royal, Virginia 22630 surance Fund for credit unions. Deposits are insured up to $100,000. If you have more than $100,000 in any one federally insured account, you could lose the excess if the bank failed. Certain combinations of accounts in the same institution are covered. For example, IRA and Keogh funds are insured separately from other accounts, up to $100,000 per account. Check on each account you have to be absolutely sure. For unlimited cov erage, you should place your money in as many different federally insured institutions as needed to make sure you don’t exceed the insured limit in any one institution.

‘Sisters’ of different backgrounds share their experiences This is a story about two dogs, Dolly, who was taken by the author from a Rappahannock County sheep farm and raised in the suburbs of Alexandria, and Amanda, who remained on the sheep farm. By MYRNA OLIVER Rappahannock New* Special Contributor This is the story of two sisters who were separated when they were little and meet again many years later. One of them was raised in the country, the other in the suburbs. What can be learned from the exchange about to take place? Is there anything to be learned from their very different lifestyles? Come, let’s listen in on their conversation. Dolly, the sister that was taken away to the suburbs, returns to the countryside and runs into her sister Amanda, nicknamed Panda as a child. “Hello, Panda! How great to see you! I didn’t know of your existence until my family recently revealed how on a visit to this lovely farm they saw me and always wanted someone like me and I was up for adoption and, lucky for them, they were chosen to be my new family. “Naturally, I was too little to grasp the meaning of all that happened that hot August day as I left. All I knew was that the family was warm and loving, but I felt like I was missing something, because they tell me I slept a lot, trying to make the best of the new situation I was in. “You see, I missed you! All the fun we had playing and fighting and napping together. Oh! how we discovered grass, fences, ponds, new sounds, new smells. “The whole world was so pretty and exciting. Tell me, Panda, how did our being separated affect you and when did they tell you about me?” “Oh! darling Dolly. If you only knew the happiness I felt when I heard I had a sister living just past the Beltway in Alexandria. My family only recently revealed the secret. I only vaguely remember that hot August day when you were taken away. Like you, I was too little to understand. “I am told that I was in the arms of the kind lady that has raised me and that my real mother and dad and uncle all stood by very solemnly and saw you being driven away. However, they were powerless and unable to do anything to stop the splitting of the family. They tell me we all looked perplexed and sad and that, like you, I coped with the separation by sleeping a lot. “Oh, Dolly, let’s not talk about sad things. Let’s be happy and talk and Craftsmen, artists invited Craftsmen and artists are invited to submit their work for consideration in the Christmas Consignment Show and Sale at Oatlands Plantation near Leesburg. The sale will run in conjunction » with “Christmas at Oatlands,” an annual event set for November 9 through December 15. The celebration includes candlelight tours of Oatlands, a Greek Revival mansion built by George Carter about 1804. It is now the prpperty of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The show and sale will be held in the carriage house. Interested crafts and arts people are asked to submit an application, including a $5 application fee. Applications can be obtained by calling 7773174 in Leesburg, or by writing to “Christmas at Oatlands,” Oatlands, Inc., Rt. 2, Box 352, Leesburg22075. Applications must be accompanied by slides or a photo of the work or, preferably, an appointment can be made to have the work personally reviewed at Oatlands. In addition to the $5 application fee, a commission is charged on all work sold. The deadline for receipt of application is September 18. Museum seeks resident artist The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts is accepting applications through October 15 for its artist-in-residence program for the 1986-87 season. Each year the museum organizes a team of selected artists and crafts professionals to share their expertise with Virginians across the state. In each locality they visit, artists in residence generally provide an evening lecture or lecture-demonstration and then a one-day workshop to encourage hands-on experience in a specific medium or technique. This season, the museum in Richmond is sponsoring artists in watercolor, landscape painting, wax painting, pieced-quilt design, drawing in color, clay sculpture, charcoal portraiture,' banner art, Japanese painting on silk, three-tone contour drawing, instantimage slide photography, and weaving. Candidates for the program are reviewed by a committee of art professionals including artists, gallery directors, museum education specialists and visual arts instructors. Applications are available by calling (804) 257-0864 or by writing the museum’s education and outreach office located on Grove Avenue, Richmond 23221. find out how life has treated us. Tell me. Did you ever marry? You are so pretty, so well-groomed.” “No, Panda, I never did marry. As a small child my parents said I had to have an operation which meant I could not have children. I don’t know what my ‘problem’ was. However, in my very early years I was introduced to an older gentleman who also never married. We had a very platonic relationship. I think he was intrigued by me at times. We had some lovely times together after a rather rough start for him as he was not used to a vivacious, lively lass that I was. We would sun ourselves or just sit under the shade of an old pear tree. Our quarters were adjacent to each other and on cold evenings he would come over to my place as his place had deteriorated and become drafty. “Sadly, our relationship came to an end rather abruptly as my old friend and companion died. “My family missed him terribly and I was very sad as he had been very wise and very kind to me. I learned a lot from Oliver, or ‘Ollie,’ as I nicknamed him. But oh, dear Panda, enough said about my love life, how about you? Are you married? Any children?” “Darling Dolly, do I have a story to tell you. I have been married a couple of times and had some illicit liaisons with gentlemen that come through the farm on occasion. “My first husband, Spiro, died at an early age right here on the farm under some rather mysterious circumstances. “My second husband, Niro, is still around. He is good-natured and a steady influence, a strong and now confident fellow. I have had some affairs, the details of which it’s best I not go into. “And, oh yes, I have had lots of children by my first husband and by the others. The children are scattered all over the county except Noble, who I was allowed to keep, and Freddy, who was not much to brag about and who lives next door. “Having all those kids has taken its toll, believe me! It seems the old saying, ‘keep them barefoot and pregnant’ was meant for me. Maybe that’s why I don’t look as well-preserved as you, Dolly. “But, dear Dolly, tell me about your life in the city. Is it full of bright lights, lots of people, lots of adventure?” “No, dear Panda, surprisingly, despite the fact that I live in, as you call it, “the city,’ which it would be to you, Orange County holds festival The Town of Orange plans to holds its 11th annual street festival on Main Street September 7 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The festival this year features about 130 booths set up by artisans and Jta people throughout the eastern part of the country. In addition, other activities are planned. The James Madison Museum will be open for visitors and the nearby home of the fourth president, Montpelier, will be open for grounds tours for a fee. Courtesy photo The author holds Dolly, while the author’s son holds sister Panda when the two girls were puppies. it’s the suburbs. “I live a very proper and quiet life. Not much happens to me even though I’m surrounded by so much activity. My family likes a peaceful life. I spend most of my time during the day following my ‘Mother’ around, watching her perform her household duties. “I know I am a comfort to her, I give her my love and my companionship, I try not to cause any trouble. She and my ‘Dad’ love to have me in their room at night while they read or watch television. Television bores me and I was never too much on books. He calls her ‘Gorgeous’ or ‘Blessed’ and she calls him ‘Tito,’ I guess their nicknames for each other. They have two darling boys, I should say young men (my adoptive brothers, really) and, oh boy, when they are home, I leave my parents’ room and run to join the younger generation. Those boys love to play music of all kinds and when I am with them I am allowed to stay up late. KI do have my own bed and every comfort imaginable for someone like me. In the summer they let me sleep out providing a nice house, also small and prone to be beseiged by the vagaries of the elements. During thunderstorms, it’s most frightening! “I had lived a sheltered life, protected, even taken on walks, never allowed to run free. I get the distinct feeling your everyday life is much different. Tell me, Panda, dear, what your average day is like?” “Oh, darling Dolly, I have led a much looser, carefree, running free, fend for myself, sort of life. But there is a price to pay for so much freedom, I guess. “True, I love running free through the meadows, hills and valleys, hunting for meat if I want to, cooling myself BOOKS This summer we commemorate the end of two gruesome United States' wars.

That is when I think about something I know we have both avoided talking about, a very important person in our lives, the lady who brought you and me into this world, our beloved Ruby.” “Yes, Panda, I was hesitant to bring it up, but I was told by my adoptive parents that they met Ruby on their very first visit to the farm. She was pregnant with us then and seemed very busy and flitting from task to task. One moment watching the sheep, then keeping the peace among her companions. But, Panda, you probably know more about her than I do since you stayed here on the farm with her.” “Yes, Dolly, our parents’ roots were in Scotland. The family has always been in the sheep business. Our ancestors have traveled from Scotland and settled all over the world because of our special knowledge of sheep. We are hanl-working, industrious, yet friendly and loving to almost everyone. “We are first in the race for our keen intelligence and are the happiest when we have a job. So, you see Dolly dear, we must be proud of our heritage. “Anyway, getting back to Mother Ruby, she left our farm briefly for consultations on sheep-herding with a neighboring farmer. She returned shortly thereafter only to disappear one day while on her rounds. We think she met with foul play, but she was never found. “Well, Dolly, I have to go now. I have five new children by my latest husband and lots of work to do on the farm. It’s been great seeing you. Who are those two handsome young men waiting for you?” “Yes, Panda, I, too, must take my leave. I am very busy with the two young men this summer. They have important jobs in Washington, D. C., and I help soothe their nerves when they get home each night. “We relax by playing frisbee and ball until it’s dark. The boys will be going back to college in the fall and my parents will need me more than ever. We have two cats, Nicki and Tammy but, as you know, they are independent and don’t give of themselves as we do. “So, Panda, we each were given a different, but joyful, road to travel. We both have made compromises. No one could say who is the more fortunate. We both have been blessed.!” “Yes, Dolly, I hear my master calling. I hope we will meet again whether in the big sheep farm in the sky or in the big back yard of Mount Vernon.” The two sisters wagged their tails goodbye and they parted company.

Rain fails to dampen spirits at Rappahannock Hunt show By CLIVE CARNIE Democrat Staff Writer A little rain has never stopped a horse event in Rappahannock County. If it ever did, there would be few races, shows or hunt meets in the county. Horse people who compete in Rappahannock seem to be used to the rain, because a good number came out for the hunt’s first show Sunday at Bill Fletcher’s Montpelier near Sperryville. “Rain is a fact of life with horse events,” said Laurie Dove, an exhibitor who made the journey to Rappahannock from Potomac, Md. “My horse is only three. This is the sort of show she needs.” Ms. Dove made the long, wet journey from Maryland because — “their —Democrat Staff Pboto/Clive Conic Patty Drummond on Cool Hand Luke won the hunt members division and high point rider. (Rappahannock Hunt’s) point-to-point is so friendly — you know their horse show is going to be friendly.” Almost 30 horses were entered in the soggy show which featured 20 classes with divisions for ponies, hunters and pleasure horses, and a special division for members of a recognized hunt. Joan Jones, master of the Bull Run Hunt of Manassas, judged the wet, muddy event. After several hours of rain, the flat grass ring beside Rt. 231 became a slippy quagmire which proved quite challenging to most horses and riders. Fortunately nobody fell, but there were a few close calls, and everybody had to adapt their riding styles to the conditions. “It’s difficult judging in this sort of weather,” said Mrs. Jones. “You have to make allowances for the conditions. Horses slip on the turns, and a lot of them peck the fences. “But it kind of judges itself. If the horses make an arc over the jump that’s good. I take points off if they hang their legs or kick their heels up. Some of the older hunters appeared to get better the deeper it got. The conditions probably hurt the green horses the most.” The day’s high-point scorer was a seasoned hunter, Patty Drummond’s Cool Hand Luke. Ms. Drummond has owned and hunted this horse for 10 years. The pair, who Ms. Drummond admitted “are both kind of ring sour,” made the journey from Culpeper — “to support the hunt.” The Culpeper rider got a big reward for supporting her hunt. Cool Hand Luke won the hunt members’ di Showing in the pouring rain Sometimes it’s hard to see the attraction of horse shows when you’re standing outside a dusty ring in unbearable heat watching round after round, all of which look the same. It can take a bizarre situation like watching a show with the rain running down your neck, your pants soaked through and your body frozen before you see the attraction in showing. Such was the case last weekend when the Rappahannock Hunt hosted its first show, amid a monsoon. Why would anyone want to show a horse in the rain and mud, when they could be indoors sipping on a beer while watching the Three Stooges and Gary Cooper movies on TV? But no one at Bill Fletcher’s Montpelier was complaining as they waited to go into the muddy ring. In fact, almost everyone had a smile on their faces as they hunched up in the saddle and triecl not to think about the rain dripping off the end of their noses or the big wet patch in the seat of their jodphurs that felt like it might turn into an iceberg at any moment. Paradoxically, everyone appeared to be enjoying themselves, and it’s hard to be miserable when all around you are happy. And why were all these people happy? I can’t tell you for sure why. But I think I can make a pretty good guess. They were eiyoying the unique companionship they share with their horses. The thrill of competing with an animal they knew, or were getting to know, in a new and challenging environment. The pride they felt for their horses. They were eiyoying the hospitality and friendship of the Rappahannock Hunt members who helped put on the show. And they were eiyoying being outside with other people who shared the same enthusiasm and love for horses and competition, and the unity that comes with sharing and experiencing an uncomfortable, trying situation with others. I’m sure everyone had second thoughts about the showM %hey stood in the rain, shivering and soaking. But I don’t think that anyone who competed at Montpelier that clay regretted going there. Though some people might think the rain made the show a failure, I disagree. When an event can make people happy, despite miserable conditions, and help exhibitors rediscover the true meaning of horse shows, it can’t be considered anything but a roaring success. vision and in the pleasure division was reserve behind Warrenton’s Daphrie Laimbeer. Ms. Drummond won the J. A. B. Dahlgren Memorial Trophy, named in honor of the Rappahannock Hunt’s late joint master, for winning the hunt members division. She also won a $100 gift certificate to Horse Country Saddlery in Warrenton for being the high point rider. The day’s first winner was Trinlie Yeaman of Culpeper who rode Buttercup to the pony hunter championship. Mike Brown, son of Rappahannock huntsman Oliver Brown, was reserve with On My Honor. Following the maiden hunter division, won by Stephen Bickels of Crozet on Buckingham, Miss Yeaman was back in the winner’s circle for the schooling hunter division championship. Despite the miserable conditions, which saw many riders soaked and shivering by the end of the day, hunt officials were pleased with the show. “We had more entries than we expected,” said announcer Bob Gault of Manassas. Show chairman Oliver Brown added: “If it hadn’t rained, we would have had a lot more entries. We had a lot of response to this show. People have been calling from Charlottesville, Middleburg and Manassas and even Maryland about it.” The hunt hopes to have another horse show next year, possibly in the spring. If the rain comes down any harder for next year’s show, the hunt might schedule a water polo game instead. SUMMARIES. PONY HUNTER. Ch. Buttercup — Trinlie Yeaman, Res. On My Honor — Mike Brown.

The center is continuing its fund drive to raise money for construction of its new facility. The construction deadline is targeted for February 1986. The total bill for the first phase of the project should not exceed $200,000, excluding land and site clearing costs. An additional $15,000 is needed to meet that goal, and to match a $25,000 grant from the Cabell Foundation in Richmond. Also, if enough money is raised, the community room will be constructed by the February deadline. The CCLC recently was awarded a tax credit under the Neighborhood Tax Assistance Act, allowing businesses and corporations to claim a tax deduction of up to one-half of the contribution. Farmers’ finances program topic The Extension Service is coordinating a newly developed Farm Financial Counseling Program in 18 counties in the Northern District. This program is supported by the district staff along with nine trained volunteers who are well qualified to work with fanners who may be having some financial difficulties. All the assistance is done on a oneon-one basis and is kept strictly confidential. Volunteers will collect financial information at the farm and the Extension Service will analyze the situation and offer alternatives to improve it. Farmers need not be in severe financial distress to take advantage of this program. A producer with a currently strong operation may be able to avoid future problems by using the Farm Financial Counseling Program. This specially funded project is a free service to the farmers of Rappahannock County. Interested farmers can learn more about the program or schedule an appointment with one of the volunteers by calling the Extension office at 675-3619.

The application states that the $9.6 million increase in base rates is necessary because of increased costs for facilities, materials, and services used by the utility as well as for costs associated with.the expected start-up of the Bath County Pumped Storage Project. Forty percent of this 2,100 mw generating facility will be owned by Allegheny Generating Company (“AGC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the operating companies of the Allegheny Power System. Potomac Edison will own approximately 28 percent of the common equity of AGC. , By preliminary order filed July 19, 1985, the Commission assigned Case No. PUE850029 to the application and suspended the tariffs for a period of 150 days to and through November 14,1985. By order filed August 5 the Commission scheduled a public hearing to commence at 10:01 a.m., on November 12,1985, in the Commission’s 13th Floor Courtroom, Jefferson Building, to receive evidence relevant to the proposed increase in base rates. By order filed August 5,1985, the Commission established Case No. PUE850048 to consider revisions to Potomac Edison’s fuel factor and cogeneration tariff and directed Potomac Edison to file evidence in that proceeding on or before October 1, 1985. The Commission has scheduled a public hearing to commence at 10:00 a.m. on November 12, 1985, in the Commission’s 13th Floor Courtroom, Jefferson Building, to receive evidence relevant to Potomac Edison’s fuel factor and cogeneration tariff. Parties who wish to speak at either public hearing and not participate as a Protestant, may be scheduled by writing to the address listed in the last paragraph of this notice. Any person who wishes to comment in writing on either proceeding should send such comment to the same address. Written communications to the Commission should explicitly identify the appropriate case number(s). On or before October 1,1985, Potomac Edison will propose a fuel factor and cogeneration tariff and file supporting testimony and data. These tariffs will become effective for the period commencing with the billing of Potomac Edison for power from the Bath County Pumped Storage Project. The utility anticipates that the effective date of the new tariffs will be in mid-November, 1985. On or before August 15, 1985, Potomac Edison will file its fuel cost data (FH Reports) for the three months ending June 30, 1985. Copies of the applications and the testimony of Potomac Edison’s witnesses in each case may be reviewed at any office of Potomac Edison where bills may be paid and at the SCC Document Control Center, Floor B1, Jefferson Building, Richmond, Virginia. On or before September 10,1985, all persons who expect to submit evidence, cross-examine witnesses, and otherwise participate as Protestants in either case, as provided by Rule 4:6 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure, shall file, with the Clerk of the Commission, an original and twenty (20) copies of a Notice of Protest in each proceeding in which Protestant desires to participate as required by SCC Rule 5:16(a). A copy of the Notice(s) of Protest shall be served on Potomac Edison’s counsel, John W. Riley, Esquire, Hunton & Williams, P.O. Box 1535, Richmond, Virginia 23212. On or before October 25,1985, all persons who have filed a Notice of Protest and who still expect to participate in the hearing as a party Protestant must file an original and twenty (20) copies each of a written Protest in each proceeding in which Protestant desires to participate as required by Commission Rule 5:16(b) and of all prepared testimony and exhibits of the witnesses to be offered at the hearing in each proceeding and shall serve five (5) copies thereof upon counsel for Potomac Edison and three (3) copies upon all other Protestants. On or before October 25,1985, the Commission’s Staff shall file with the Clerk the prepared testimony and exhibits of each witness expected to present direct testimony in each proceeding and shall serve a copy upon counsel for Potomac Edison and each Protestant. On or before November 5, 1985, Potomac Edison shall file with the Clerk and each Protestant the testimony and exhibits il expects to introduce in rebuttal to the direct pre-filed testimony and exhibits of the Commission Staff and the Protestants in each proceeding. Any party participating as a Protestant should review the instructions regarding discovery set forth in the Commission’s order dated August 5,1985, in each proceeding. All written communications to the Commission regarding this case should be directed to George W. Bryant, Jr., Clerk SCC Document Control Center, P.O. Box 2118, Richmond Virginia 23216.

New hunter futurity encourages breeders By CLIVE CARNIF Democrat Staff Writer Breeder incentive pro ,1 ain i have helped many aspects of the horse industry. The multi-million dollar Breeders’ Cup has given thoroughbred breeders the possibility of making thousands of dollars and has boosted the thoroughbred racing and breeding industry tremendously since its inception in 1984. In other breeds such as the Quarter Horse, Saddle Horse and Arabian, futurities offering heavy cash incentives have encouraged breeders to produce young horses and have helped individual breeds greatly. Now hunter breeders will have incentive to produce young horses. Beginning in the fall of 1986 a new program called the International 3Year-Old Hunter Performance Futurity will offer breeders and owners the chance to compete for sizeable cash prizes and prestigious awards. The program is designed to encourage the raising, marketing and showing of young horses. The new program is the brain child of Sallie Wheeler of Keswick, chairman of the American Horse Shows Association’s hunter committee and a director of the Virginia Horse Shows Association (VHSA), and Walter “Jimmy” Lee of Charlottesville, president of the VHSA. “Breeding futurities have been very successful with other breeds,” says Mrs. Wheeler. “The saddle horse and quarter horse breeds have them, there’s the Breeders’ Cup, and the Arabians — it practically made their industry. We felt it was high time we had something for hunters. We took the best of all worlds and included them in this program.” The International 3-Year-Old Hunter Performance Futurity will feature three regional competitions (East, Mid-West and West) and an international competition each year with prize money estimated to exceed well over $150,000, depending on response from stallion and young horse owners. The competitions will be run in a similar form to current 3-year-old hunter divisions found at many larger shows in Virginia with two classes over fences and an under saddle class. “We thought about this for a long time,” said Mr. Lee. “Our Virginia yearling futurity which we've held the last couple of years has worked out very well and the 3-year-old division in r Virginia is very healthy and popular, t But, nationwide it is very difficult to interest people in 3-year-olds. They \ seem to look for a more made horse. ( There are a lot of people raising horses ( and there’s not much to do with them ( except sell them. Futurities have done < well with other breeds, and we wanted ( something that would encourage < hunter breeders.” ] Horses will be eligible for the hunter futurity through owner nominations. Nomination for foals of 1983, ’84 and ’85 will be $300 over a one, two, or three-year period. Thereafter nomi- ' nations will be $300 over a two-year period. But breeders will be able to make one overall nomination of $150 for a foal and not have to make any more payments to maintain eligibility. But before a horse can be nominated to the futurity, its sire must be nominated. Stallion nomination will be equivalent to a breeding season to that stallion. A stallion that stands for $1,000 will cost $1,000 to nominate to the program. Sires of horses suitable to be hunters are eligible and the futurity will not be limited to any one breed. An advisory committee comprised of close to 100 people from across the country and Canada has been formed to get the program under way. There are also course design, regional location and competition committees. The date and place for the first international competition has already been set. The event will take place at the 1986 Washington International Horse Show on the fifth day of the eight-day show that usually begins the last weekend of October. The time and locations for the regional competitions have not been determined yet. “We are leaning toward late summer, early fall,” says Mr. Lee. “Possible locations are Long Island, Missouri and California. ” The courses for the competitions will be similar to those found at any show with a 3-year-old division. Fence height will not exceed three feet and there will be no tricks or hidden challenges. “We are only trying to he^ ,” says Mrs. Wheeler. “We don’t want to put stress on these young horses. There will be nothing tb push the horses beyond their capacity.” Once the course has been designed for each competition, the owners of Severe credit problems for farmers Agriculture Secretary John Block, predicting another round of severe credit problems for farmers in coming months, said recently that the Farmers Home Administration will be unable to accept new borrowers. He said the Agriculture Department farm lending agency instead will try to lend a hand for the 1986 crop by guaranteeing commercial farm loans, an option that has failed to gain acceptance in the past. As a result of the credit crunch earlier this year, Farmers Home made a record $3 billion in operating loans, often to farmers who could no longer get credit from commercial sources. “We’re going to have another round of severe credit problems in agriculture” beginning this fall and extending into next spring, Block said in a news conference telephoned to journalists in farm areas. He said he has briefed President Reagan, the Cabinet, representatives of key government agencies and the Congress to apprise them of the ongoing farm problems, caused by low prices, sagging land values and weak exports. He said Farmers Home is too overburdened to take on new farm bor Park accepting applications The summer of 1985 may be coming to a close, but the National Park Service is already planning its job force for the 1986 season. The service suggests that anyone interested in working in the national park should file an application between September 1 and January 15, 1986. Jobs available include collecting fees at entrance stations, road ana campground patrols and interpretation of area resources. To qualify, a person must be at least 18 years old or a high school graduate, be in good physical condition and meet the educational or work experience requirements of the position desired. Employees in the law enforcement area must at least 18 years old. Applicants should contact either the personnel office at Shenandoah National Park at 999-2243 or the Seasonal Employment Unit. The park also hires temporary laborers to augment its permanent work force. Applications for those positions should be postmarked no later than Jam ry 15, 1986. Interested persons should contact the personnel office of the park at Rt. 4, Box 292, Luray, Va., rowers but will guarantee loans serviced by other lenders. “The circuits are just plain overloaded,” he said. “We cannot accept another deluge of borrowers. ” The Farm Credit System, the cooperative farm lending entity that holds one-third of farm debt, has stepped in to aid its district in Spokane, Washington, and is reviewing a proposal to bolster sagging finances of its Omaha, Nebraska, district. Block said the system has more than $6 billion of its own reserves to deal with the problems, but it is possible the federal government will be asked to aid the system in the future. The system would have to accept regulatory oversight to get government money, he said. ominated horses will be sent copies of he course design, or designs. “The course design committees till come up with two or three ourses,” says Mr. Lee. “These will be lublished with a detailed description so iwners can know exactly what the ourse will be and can practice it and ven set it up at home. It will not be lifficult, and there will be no sur>rises.” Eligible horses do not even have to ompete in the over fences classes to be eligible for the under saddle class if heir owners do not feel they are reidy. Each class will be judged on perormance, manners and way of going, he same as any regular hunter class, rhere will be a little difference in the udging, however, says Mr. Lee. “Here judges will choose the top ,en in each class,” Mr. Lee explains. ‘From these they will pick the first and second which will be called the champion and reserve. The remaining eight will be called the top ten. “From the three classes we will :hen do as we do in any other division ind add up the points and declare a grand champion and reserve. To be eligible for the grand championship a horse must be in the top four over fences.” Besides prize money for winning owners, there will also be cash awards to the trainer, rider and groom of the reserve and grand champions. The stallion nominator of the champions would receive 10 percent of the first place awards, and the foal nominator would receive five percent. Beside 10 percent of the prize money, stallion nominators stand to earn a lot should the progeny of their stallion win any of the competitions. “The competition these horses could win would make their sires very valuable,” says Mr. Lee. “The stallion owner’s real financial reward is hopefully more mares for his stallion.” Hunter breeders and owners across the country who have already heard of this program through the travels of Mr. Lee and Mrs. Wheeler appear excited about it. “I have gotten tremendous interest from every section of the country,” says Mr. Lee. “I was in Colorado judging a show the other week and I spoke to people there from Colorado, Arizona and several other western states about the program. Everyone was very excited about it and couldn’t wait for it to begin. I think wherever hunters are shown and appreciated we have gotten very good feedback.” mnr INCORPORATED Regular Sales Every Tues.

On the advice of a paid consultant, Supervisors chose to buy the policy covering the county government and its employees through the VML. That policy was written by Alexander and Alexander, a Richmond firm that insures other towns in Virginia. Many of the coverages written into a policy submitted by the Clements Insurance Agency of Culpeper were cancelled on short notice in early June —just before the coverage was to expire — leaving the county scrambling for a substitute policy. The cancellation was blamed on new regulations within the insurance industry which affected the writing of some policies. After contacting the Virginia Municipal League, a group representing towns throughout the state, Rappahannock was able to secure coverage. Shortly thereafter, however, 1 agents from Clements contacted local officials to offer supplemental coverage. For two months, the county carried and paid premiums on duplicate policies. In an attempt to unravel the problem, the county hired the Industrial Insurance Management Corporation, a Richmond-based consulting firm. Allen Thorton handled the case. Said Thorton: “If I had been your consultant on June 5, I would have recommended buying the policy through the VML." “That’s what I’m suggesting,’’ said Supervisor Charles (Pete) Estes in making his motion to discontinue the county’s coverage with the Culpeper agency. In addition, insurance officials will be asked to meet with selected county employees to discuss coverages and improve the policy in order to, in the words of board chairman Hubert Gilkey, “bring that thing up to snuff. ” Thorton will also meet with county officials to investigate insuring government offices and other property owned by the county. When the county learned that Clement Insurance Agency of Culpeper was unable to write a policy to cover its needs, Supervisors contacted the Virginia Municipal League which in turn directed the county to Alexander and Alexander. Within three days, the agency wrote a policy to cover Rappahannock and Supervisors authorized payment of the premium to buy the policy. In the meantime, the Clement Agency apparently reversed its position and told the county that it can indeed write policies to adequately cover the county’s operations, which include the local public school system. In addition, Thorton charged the county a S3,000 fee, a figure that could go to $5,000 depending on the amount of work involved. That figure did not include the work involved with insuring the buildings. Supervisors were told at their Aug. 5 meeting that the double coverage cost the county roughly $1,500 a month. It is expected that the county will be reimbursed for much of its $15,500 premium paid to Alexander and Alexander, the VML-referred company carrying the county’s policy. Principals ready (Continued from Page 1) time helping the new teachers get started, but I don’t see that as a big problem,” said Chappel. He said that a support system, including the buddy teachers, has been set up to handle the initial questions and confusion. “I have confidence in the caliber of people that are coming in,” Chappel said. “I think that they’ll be able to step in and do what’s required without a tremendous amount of guidance, but the administration will be available.” Chappel and his staff will visit with new teachers during classes and after classes to keep in touch with what teachers are experiencing. “There will be a coordinated system of support with periodic staff meetings,” Chappel said. As at the elementary school, teaihers at the high school left for various reasons. “We lost some good people, and I hated to see them go, but we have some fine people joining us,” Chappel said. “The quality of education may be even higher this year.” He said that he has no nruyor concerns about the coming school year. “I’m excited about the people we were able to attract, and now it’s just a matter of digging in and getting the work done.” Chappel emphasized the high school’s developing strong self-image in academics and athletics when he talked to applicants for teaching positions. “I told them that discipline in this school, comparatively speaking, is not a major problem; and that the students are respectful and hard-working,” Chappel said. “The community is growing in support of the schools with many people who want to see improvements in education, including the school board and the supervisors.” Rappahannock job offers were rejected by teachers due to salary concerns and the lack of adequate housing in the county, Chappel said. “As generous as the supervisors were this year, if they can give more in salaries we’ll be able to attract and keep more teachers.” “There is a lot to sell here, even though there is a tendency to talk about what’s wrong,” Chappel said. “I’m truthful when I say what I say about this school, and I say it with my chin up.” After the new teachers adjust to the school and Rappahannock, Chappel said that the year should be a good one. “We have a fine staff returning and fine youngsters,” Chappel said. “The human factor is our biggest asset. ” ic district Continued from page 1 “Area A is everything else in town except that buildings with less than 25 percent of their first floor area lying within town boundaries are excluded,” the ordinance reads. Architectural styles from the town’s settlement to 1900 will be compared to exterior changes in existing buildings or to new construction in Area A. The council made one change in the ordinance that gives the town the authority to block demolition of buildings thought to be of historical significance, as determined by the ARB. The ordinance’s time frame was changed to begin at the town’s settlement rather than its founding date as originally cited in the proposed ordinance. “Some of the buildings in town pre-date the town’s founding,” said Mayor Peter Kramer, who raised the question before the council. “As I read the ordinance, those buildings could be taken down, and the ARB would have nothing to say about it.” A public hearing on the ordinance was held during the meeting. One town reside: c asked about the constitutionsdity of the ordinance since it legislates the use of private property by private citizens. “Someone might mount a challenge on that basis, but ordinances like :his are constitutional,” Kramer said. “I don’t think any cases have been taken to the Supreme Court, but lower courts have found these ordinances to be constitutional.” A resident told the council that costs are higher for working on an old house than for building a new one. “This ordinance will not require anyone to fix up his or her house, but if we have nice old houses in town that are a part of our heritage, we want to preserve them,” said council member Bill Wickens. “Demolishing our old houses or cabins would be a mistake, and we have the chance to protect them before the process starts. ” Wickens said that reasonable changes or new construction can be made. “This is a minimal ordinance, and the ARB will be made up of longtime residents,” he said. The ARB will probably adopt a list of automatically acceptable colors so that people wishing to use a non-approved color could come before the board, the councilman said. All other colors on that list would be acceptable and the property owner would need no other authority to use that color. “I am concerned about what could happen to a town this small and fragile when developmental pressures begin,” Wickens said. “We have something here worth preserving, and we should preserve it.” Camille Harris, a town resident, asked what effect the ordinance could have on the value of property in town. “In my experience with ordinances like this, if they have an effect they have a positive effect because property owners feel protected from undesirable developments,” Kramer said. Another resident said that the council was imposing its architectural tastes on the town. “I don’t know that these are our tastes and the council will change over the years, but it provides a chance for the public to look at what’s happening in town,” Kramer said. “We’ll be giving up some of our rights, but in the process we’ll protect the town.” Juanita Miko, a county resident, pointed out that the ordinance will not prevent businesses such as supermarkets or food chain stores from opening in town as long as they have a colonial front. “Our zoning ordinance addresses use,” Wickens said. “This ordinance addresses what the town looks like.” Harris suggested that the ARB should be able to review fencing in the town in addition to plans for buildings and structures. Fences were added to the ordinance, but it does not apply to the removal of fences. The ordinance also stipulates that satellite dish TV antennae should be screened if possible. The ordinance was adopted by a 41 vote, Wallace Critzer dissenting, and took effect upon its adoption. Evelyn Willis, Charles Eldred and Carol Miller were appointed to the ARB. Willis will serve for four years, Eldred for three and Miller for two. Prenatal pediatric education introduced By DR. ROBERT SELDEN University of Virginia Hospital Ten or 20 years ago, it was infrequent to find physicians who gave pediatric care involved with a new baby and its parents earlier than at the time of delivery. Gradually times have changed. Today, I want to introduce the term prenatal pediatric education. It refers to the concept that meeting between prospective parents and the baby*s future doctor can be very important to those who meet, as well as in the best interest of the child. The most logical time for such a meeting is two or three months before the expected date of delivery. This allows the physician to assess the needs of the parents and help them in making decisions about their baby’s future care. The parents have the opportunity to become familiar with their child’s future doctor, to learn about the office routines they will deal with and to meet other professional staff in the office such as the nurses, the appointment secretary and the business manager. Such familiarity can make future contacts by phone or in person more satisfying. Parents may also have questions answered that are of particular interest to them. Questions commonly asked include these: How soon will the baby be examined by his or her doctor? How often will the doctor make rounds in the hos ‘Other woman9 testifies at murder trial Frederica Bunge, 59, told a Loudoun County Circuit Court jury this week that retired Army Col. William “Bull” Evans-Smith, who is being tried for his wife Barbara’s murder, never promised to leave his wife for her. The trial, scheduled for two to three weeks began Aug. 13. Mrs. Evans-Smith was found strangled the morning of April 15 at the couple’s home near Hamilton. But Loudoun Commonwealth’s Attorney William T. Burch said he will prove that Bunge’s move last year to end an 11-year love affair with the defendant left Evans-Smith volatile and quick-tempered. Before Bunge left the Washington, D.C. area hut year to work at the University of California at Berkeley, she had worked for Evans-Smith at The American University since 1969, she testified. pital to discuss the baby’s daily progress? Perhaps there will be questions to seek information about circumcision — what are the doctor’s beliefs about the advantages or the disadvantages of the procedures needed if the baby is quite jaundiced? Who will keep the parents informed of laboratory results? Is rooming-in allowed or encouraged for those families who desire it? A relative had a specific birth defect; is it possible for the baby to have the same problem? Is it possible that a house pet may become jealous and harm the baby? No question should be considered unimportant if it deals with a parent’s concern. The list of possible questions may be quite lengthy. If this is the case, the parents should warn the physician’s office in advance so that adequate time can be set aside. Both mother and father are encouraged to attend this meeting and share their thoughts with the doctor. Writing down questions in advance will ascertain that none is forgotten. Physicians who are accustomed to providing sessions of prenatal pediatric education often will budget plenty of time to provide the advice they feel parents should have before the baby’s birth. Dr. Selden is a pediatrician on the staff of the Children's Medical Center, University of Virginia. Host families needed for students Homes are needed to place foreign exchange students. The Youth Exchange Service (YES), a non-profit educational organization, is currently looking for homes for well-screened, 15 to 18-year-old students from different parts of the world. Students are due to arrive in this country in late August for a ninemonth period and will attend local public high schools. Students accepted into the program have their own medical insurance and their own spending money. Families provide room and board and may claim a $50 tax deduction for each month they host a student. More information may be obtained by writing Youth Exchange Service, World Trade Center Bldg, 350 S. Figueroa St., 1257-P, Los Angeles, Cal., 90071, or telephone 1-800-848-2121. State crackdown on truck width A “unified and concerted effort” is being staged to bring trucks within the state into compliance with regulations, the Virginia Highway Department has announced. “The problem was first brought to our attention earlier this year in Southwest Virginia,” said Col. R. L. Suthard of the Virginia State Police. “A number of trucks used for transporting coal were found to be wider than the allowable 96 inches (the limit under state code) for reasons ranging anywhere from overextended mud flaps to oversize tires.” However, Suthard said other trucks were also found to be in violation of the width requirement. The Department of Motor Vehicles will not issue registrations and the highway department will not issue hauling permits to trucks in violation. State police will begin immediately to take “appropriate enforcement action,” according to the state police officials. Retiring? A few tips Anyone planning to retire before age 65 should apply for monthly social security benefits no later than the last day of the month those benefits are to begin. “Benefits payable for months before 65 can begin no earlier than the month the person applies,” said Bruce R. Hundley, manager of the Culpeper Social Security office. “In general, a person who applies for benefits after reaching 66 can get back payments up to six months before the month he or she applied. However, the person can apply up to three months before the month he or she wants to benefits to start.” More information about Social Security is available by calling the Culpeper office at 826-3500. Free publications are also available. LFCC needs local instructors Lord Fairfax Community College is looking for part-time credit and noncredit course instructors. The college will conduct interviews for openings on August 22 in two 90-minute sessions beginning at 2 p.m. and at 7 p.m. Instructors are needed in arts and sciences for on-campus credit courses. Instructors are also needed in all subject fields for off-campus credit courses to be offered in Front Royal and Warrenton, as well as in Woodstock, Luray and Mt. Jackson. Persons who attend the sessions at LFCC in Middletown will receive application materials. More information may be obtained by calling the school at 869-1120, ext. 277.

RAAC Continued from page 1 (which) has always been high.” The “institution” she speaks of did not evolve overnight, or even in a few weeks. Although she says “times were lean” in the early going and that “there have been times when we said, ‘This is not an easy time for RAAC’,” Marshall says talk never surfaced of folding the association, of packing it in for having banged their heads against the wall once too many times. Rather, Marshall says, talk was more to the tune of the show must go on. "That’s a given for RAAC — it’s just that important to the people in RAAC,” she says. The idea of starting a group to support the arts began when the Magic Mountain Cinema, then a commercial operation, looked to close its doors. The small community could not support it. “Three of us sat in Peter Kramer’s living room one night,” says Reynolds, “and talked about how to keep the movie threatre open.” That was nearly four years ago. The effort to start a program expanded to about 15 people and Marshall “has been there ever since,” Reynolds says. “She took over the programs of responsibility as a volunteer,” Gottlieb adds. “There’s a lot of responsibility, many details” which help create “a certain level of anxiety,” says Marshall. But, she says, “It was wonderful to witness the cooperation and intelligence involved with RAAC.” Her “volunteer” status lasted just a short while after that. Marshall, “more than anyone else,” Gottlieb says, was responsible for securing R A AC’s first grant from the Virginia Commission for the Arts. That money was used to pay a parttime director. “There was a lot of response” for that position, Reynolds says. But, Gottlieb says, “Laurie won that pretty much hands down.” Marshall was awarded the “parttime job” of half-time for 10 months each year. “She's certainly put more time into it than that,” Reynolds says. “She puts in many more hours than what she gets paid for,” adds Got tlieb. W ater Continued from page 1 The ordinance will require that each water meter be equipped with one-way valves. “This is a broad ordinance that has the potential to cause a lot of problems and to cost a lot.” Kramer said. The council made a list of questions for Fisher. “I’d like to know whether this ordinance was written by Brad or came straight from the state,” said council member Newbill Miller. “If Brad wrote it, maybe we can make some changes.” The town also plans to ask if small towns are e ‘mpt from the state requirement, if there are state funds available to offset the cost of the meter change, if any of the meters already have the one-way valves, if there is a valve that can be installed in present meters instead of having to buy all new meters and what the costs involved will be. In other business, the council • Passed a resolution to waive policies against the extermination of bats in the town. Diane Bruce, county clerk and town resident, sent the bat resolution to the council because of what she saw as an increasing bat population around the court house and throughout town. Exterminators can only chase bats away unless regulations protecting bats are waived by local governments, according to the state code. Bruce stated in a letter accompanying the resolution that bats are increasing in number and are raising fears of possible rabies infestation. • Council member Dorothy Clater proposed a helicopter ordinance that will ban helicopter landings in town or their flight within 300 feet above the town. Violators will be guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by a $1,000 fine and not more than 30 days in jail. People who allow their land to be used for helicopter landings could also be fined. A public hearing on the ordinance will be held at the council's September meeting. Page Valley Fair closes The Page Valley Fair concludes Saturday with a demolition derby and demonstration of three-wheelers. Today is 4-H day, when all school children will be admitted free and a one-time $5 fee covers tickets to all the rides until they close that night. The demolition derby is set for 7 p.m. and three-wheelers will compete on Saturday, the final night of the fair. More information about the schedule or entering any of the open events may be obtained by calling Sam Griffith, Jr., at 743-3070. Since then, RAAC has evolved to the point where it operates with an annual budget of roughly $34,000 — $4,500 of which comes from grant money from the Commission for the Arts — money raised from selling balloons, popcorn, T-shirts, admissions to movies, shows, plays, exhibits, single memberships which are sold for $10 per year or family memberships for $25 a year. A native of Pittsburgh, a graduate of Antioch College in Ohio and a holder of a master’s degree from Beacon College in Washington, D. C., Marshall has been a counselor for a mental health center, worked with the public schools, is a painter and a writer who hopes to “some day publish” the peri have always thought there was a lot of enthusiasm involved in RAAC. We accomplished more than we set out to’ —Marshall sonal journals she’s been keeping. She’s also a dancer with the Last Minute Wood Company. She and her family live in Slate Mills —“way back in the mountain,” she says. But two qualities of Marshall’s character stand out clearly to those who work with her: Her ability to work with different people and her interest in developing creativity of young people. “She has a great love for young people,” says Lyt Wood, a former board member who “more or less” shares office space in Washington. Before accepting the RAAC position, Marshall coordinated the Gifted and Talented program in Rappahannock County Public Schools. “Without her,” says Gottlieb, “I doubt whether we could have done as much as we did with the schools. It’s a definite feather in her cap.” “I hope that continues,” says Marshall.

GREETINGS TO EVERYONE The Bible says in Romans 3:23, For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God; and in Romans 6:23; it says that the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life. Romans 5:8 says that Christ died for us while we were yet sinners. John 3:16 says; For God so loved the world He gave His only Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life; then Jesus goes on to say in John 6:37, He that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. So we can see through these different verses that we have all sinned, and that we need to make Jesus Christ our savior and Lord, md that God so loved and world that He gave His Son to die on the cross and pay the price for sin for you and I God does love us so very much. Won't you make Him Lord and Savior of your life today? Romans 10:9 says, That if thou shaft confess with they mouth the Lord Jesus or Jesus as Lord, and shall believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. So we can easily see from this verse, that if we will believe in our HEART that God raised Jesus from the dead, and then confess him as our Lord, that the result of believing and confessing is our salvation. That is such great news for us today, how, simple God has made salvation for us. I pray that you will receive Jesus as your savior today Amen This article sponsored by : ROBERT DUNPHY MINISTRIES, INC. Fit. 1, Box 266, Sperryville, Va. 22740 Phone 987-8505 Aiso, says Gottlieb, Marshall demonstrated a knack for solidifying “all the diverse groups in the county. She’s a good listener and doesn’t really belong to any one group in the county” which may bias her work. Wood agrees. “She gets along well with other people,” he says. “That’s why she’s so valuable” to RAAC. But Marshall contributed more. “She’s provided a lot of energy and creativity to the organization,” says Wood. “It will take a very diligent search to find a suitable replacement.” “She has been our artistic conscience,” says Reynolds. “In many ways she almost created many of the programs we put on.” Laurie Marshall, on the other hand, looks at something different as her greatest contribution, as the big OWE MOUNTAIN FARM at end of country road.

ALL OF GRACE by Tom Marshall of the Sperryville Anabaptist Fellowship Satan continuously becomes more clever in pursuing the goal of elevating himself to the position of God. I did not say he has become more wise, only more clever. He is not wise at all, nor are those who follow him, for the Bible tell us that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. He is not ignorant of what the Bible says, but he and his followers choose not to believe it. In his cleverness one of his primary methods of operation is to counterfeit the things of God. God is good, pure and righteous — so Satan tries (quite successfully sometimes) to make himself appear to be the same (2 Cor. 11:1315). Many of us have heard of Satan worship, but relatively few realize the existence of the Luciferian religions (from the name Lucifer). Generally speaking, Satan worship recognizes Satan as evil and joins him in that evil, but the Luciferian religions maintain that God is evil and that Satan is the righteous one. These Luciferian religions are often disguised as fraternal organizations, and the counterfeiting is done so well that even many people in the organizations do not realize what they are really in. When they pay homage to a “supreme being” or a “higher power” or “the God of my understanding” without identifying him as the God of the Bible they may not realize that they are playing directly into the hands of Lucifer. Satan realizes that one of his best lines of attack is to neutralize the churches, and he has made considerable progress in doing this. One of the chief methods of accomplishing this is to divide the brethren with “winds of doctrine” (Ephesians 4:14). In recent years the charismatic movement has worked well for him, as it counterfeits the miracle of speaking in tongues as well as the joy and the thrill of knowing Christ. You churches better wake up before it is too late. Where is your teaching of the milk and the meat of the Word? Where is your growing in grace and in the knowledge of pur Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ? Where is your joy and thrill at knowing Him? Where is your going into all the world (or even your neighborhood) to preach the gospel? No wonder the counterfeits of Satan can divide you! May God grant that you will wake up.
