VIRGINIA Phone 67 .-3349 25* Heat wave September weather surpasses monthly average, 1983 hot spell If it feels hotter this September than normal, that’s because ft is hotter than normal for this time of the year. In fact, local weather observer Dennis Wingfield says temperatures for the first eight days of this month are running 12 degrees higher than the same period last year. When the temperature reached the 90-degree mark Tuesday, it represented the sixth consecutive day of such temperatures. Rappahannock County Schools twice closed early because of the heat, on Friday and on Tuesday. Classes were dismissed both days at 1 p.m. Some streams are at a trickle. The dog days of summer are apparently still with us. Additionally, this area has not seen rain since Aug. 25th, more than two weeks ago, according to the Wingfield Report. “I keep looking skyward for rain clouds and all I see is that big red ball of fire,” Wingfield reports. September of 1983 was also considered a warm month when six times the temperature scorched the 90-degree mark. September 1985 has already equalled that dubious occurrence. It is not unusual to see a hot spell broken by thunder, lightning and heavy rain, reports Wingfield. The ground is hot, the air warm. When a cool or cold front approaches, storm activity usually follows, bringing with it heavy, potentially-damaging rainfall. Elsewhere in our area, the heat is being felt. Culpeper County Schools closed early because of the heat for the first time in 35 years. Other area school divisions have followed suit. Washington, D.C. weather observers report that temperatures there exceeded 90 degrees for eight consecutive days, a record set in 1884. Highs Wednesday were also expected to reach 90 degrees in the nation’s capital. Area hospitals are warning those people susceptible to the heat, particularly the elderly, the very young and those who are ill, to avoid the heat as much as possible, to limit physical activity and to drink plenty of fluids to replace those lost through perspiring. If physical activity cannot be avoided, limit the work hours to the morning and evening when the air is cooler. Doctors advise using a common sense approach to the heat. Dizziness or light-headedness are warning signals of the dangers of the heat and should be treated with rest in a cool spot. Locally, the 1985 September weather is a far cry from that of a year ago. Wingfield reports that last year, low temperatures for four consecutive nights fell below 50 degrees. “It’s hard to believe that in northwestern Montana, more than a foot of snow fell just two days ago,” Wingfield reports. But, warns Wingfield, those people who rely on woodstoves in the winter should “keep your wood dry. Cooler temperatures are coming. It’s just a matter of time.” And, for now, a matter of endurance. And common sense. Rappahannock News Photo/PaulMcFarlane SUMMER’S DOG DAYS, indeed, as Snipper knows firsthand, taking a break from the heat — and trying to find a spot in the shade — underneath Nancy Reeve’s truck at the Democratic Picnic held in Sperryville on Sunday. Snipper made it to the picnic, but Gerald Baliles, the party’s candidate for Governor, had a binding obligation and cancelled Sunday morning. Local temperatures reached the 90s for the sixth time in the first nine days of September. Schools have twice been closed because of the heat. Shelter moved to Scrabble An animal shelter originally proposed to be constructed on land owned by dog warden Jack Bruce will be constructed on countyowned land at the Scrabble School in southern Rappahannock County. Following a “consensus” Continued on page 16 Rappahannock News Photo/Jane Bangley THOMAS BERGMANN has enjoyed his first month in the U.S. even though he recently broke his arm. Members of his American family for the year are: 1-r; Lynne Baines, Thomas, Lee Baines and Rufus. Bergmann’s first month in U.S. filled with laughter and pain By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News staff writer Thomas Bergmann was in search of new' experiences. He came to the United States as a “Youth for Understanding” program participant to find those experiences. Since his arrival from Skanderborg, Denmark, on Aug. 6, Thomas has experienced the peeling aftereffects of a sunburn acquired in Nags Head, N. C., and a broken arm acquired in a fall from a three-wheeler. Stories of his misadventures were told with smiles and jokes by Thomas and his American “family,” Rufus, Lynne and Lee Baines. The Baineses’ oldest son, Bobby, is away at college. “He really has a good sense of humor,” said Lynne. “It’s the only sense he has,” laughed Rufus. The four laugh as they recall Thomas’ first month in Rappahannock County. He will spend the next year with Lee as a junior at Rappahannock County High School. Thomas is an only child whose mother, a teacher, encouraged him to consider the exchange program. “She had students who did this, they had good experiences and she thought it would be good for me. She didn’t know what kind of family I would end up with, though,” said Thomas, with a glance at the three Baineses. Thomas’ mother had sent a tape recording to the family including a warning about the ironic Danish sense of humor. “She told them to expect it when my English becomes Continued on Page 10 State approves expansion plan By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer The final architectural plans for a $1.2 million expansion project at Rappahannock High School has been approved by the State Board of Education, nearly 10 years since talk first surfaced publicly about expansion. The Rappahannock School Board received notification of the approval at its regular monthly meeting Tuesday night. The local school system now is put on a waiting list for state Literary Loans, low-interest money available for building construction. “This is great news,” said board member Nancy Reeve. “They advise us that now we can submit our request to be placed on the literary loan fund waiting list,” said Superintendent Robert Estabrook. “There are 34 projects on the list now, and priority will be given to asbestos control projects and projects for science facilities.” The board authorized Estabrook to submit the request for literary loan funds as soon as possible. The plans call for 21,000 square feet of new construction on the present building. A new gymnasium will be added, more cafeteria space added and the gymnasium will be renovated into a 214-seat auditorium, the library will be expanded to accommodate 70 people and a part of the present library will become a combination science lab and lecture room. Four additional classrooms will be gained from the project. Estabrooks also presented the enrollment report for the two schools prepared on Sept. 9. The elementary school’s enrollment figure was 572 and the high school’s was 3% for a total of 968. Continued on Page 10 High school students bored, parents rip building, grounds This is the second in a three-part series examining a Virginia Department of Education survey of the Rappahannock County Public Schools. This installment details the response of some 45 parents, 19 teachers and 144 students at Rappahannock County High School who offered their opinions about their school and the quality of education available there. The final part planned for this series to appear next week will solicit response from members of the administration in light of the results of the survey. By PAUL McFARLANE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock High School students are bored: bored in the classroom and bored by a lack of extracurricular activities. More than half of the students interviewed for a Virginia Department of Education survey say teachers do not present their material in an “interesting manner” and they complain about a lack of in-school social life — too few clubs and activities available to them. Also, slightly more than half of the students polled slid that the variety of class selection is insufficient. At least those are the opinions expressed by some 144 students who last year were sophomores and seniors at the county’s only high school. The survey, taken as part of an administrative review conducted in November 1984, asked opinions of 339 persons directly involved in the education of the county’s youth: parents, teachers and a select group of stu dents themselves. In addition to the opinions of students, the survey revealed that 40 percent of parents of secondary school students responding believe the job preparation offered by the local school system is inadequate and nearly onethird of that group said their children do not learn to appreciate beauty and the arts. Parents also are virtually divided on their opinion as to whether there is adequate equipment for learning, Parents: HS teaches basics well While an overwhelming percentage of parents said they believe their children are getting a good basic education at Rappahannock County High School, they complain that students get little more. More than 80 percent of parents responding to a Virginia Department of Education survey said high school teachers are doing a good job of offering basic mathematics and English, but a large percentage of parents said their children are not learning to appreciate “beauty and the arts” and are not prepared for the world awaiting them beyond Continued on page 16 Bats in the belfry get a break from county The bats that have made Rappahannock County their home got a temporary reprieve Monday. The county’s supervisors, who appear ready to evict the bats living in the attics of county government buildings in Washington, tabled action on a contract with Paramount Pest Control which could have meant the end to the bats’ happy homes. Supervisors decided to wait until a project to renovate the county courthouse was begun before dealing with the host of bats that are making a mess of the sidewalk and other areas around the county government offices. However, bats, the only free-flying mammal on Earth, are protected against extermination by state law; they cannot be killed legally unless there has been documented proof that a human was attacked by a bat. Bats eat insects, particularly mosquitos and “do more good for man than bad,” according to Ron PierLeonardi of Paramount Pest who was on hand to deliver his contract proposal and gave a dissertation on the habits of bats. All a pest control service could do, Pier Leonard i said, is to chase the bats from the building attic, decontaminate their wastes and seal the building against further infestation. But that, too, creates a problem. Bats apparently need only a quarterinch gap between moulding or sections of paneling to squeeze their way into a building, and a structure as old as the courthouse offers a wide variety of such openings. The courthouse is the site of heavy infestation, supervisors were told. The bats themselves pose but a slight threat of harm. Rather, it is the bat droppings and other waste products that carry disease and are considered dangerous. Work crews that remove the waste do so with heavy protection to reduce the chance of external exposure to the wastes. After chasing the bats from the attic, the pest control company would seal the building with a series of screens. The work of Paramount, at least, is warranted for up to one year against return of the pests, PierLeonardi said. “We’re not here to kill bats, just Continued on Page 10 Our schools Second of three parts Rapahannock High School but 70 percent of those parents said the school building and grounds are “inadequate.” However, more than 80 percent of responding parents said the school system is doing a good job of teaching basic English and mathematics. Teachers who work in the high school complain that they have little input to establish or evaluate their curriculum, have a narrow path of communication with the school board and are in strict agreement that gifted and talented students are not getting the instruction they need. Still, teachers say the basics are being taught in an ‘‘atmosphere of mutual respect and courtesy in the learning environment.” Also, a vast majority of teachers said they “demonstrate a high expectation of learning” for their students. The local school board, at its August meeting, adopted an official “topics for action” to improve those areas deemed deficient by the results of the 268-question survey. The survey is the latest — and most extensive —attempt by professional educators to determine local attitudes held by teachers, students and parents regarding the local public school system. An adminstrative review is conducted in every public school division in Virginia by a team of educators from across the state who look primarily into the recordkeeping process of the schools In each part of the survey, parents were asked to strongly agree, agree, disagree or strongly disagree with those questions posed to them. A column for no response or those who answered “don’t know” is also included. l Parents, secondary school Issues % Strongly Strongly agree Agree Disagree disagree Our school does a good job of teaching basic English and math- 9.8 ematics:___ Students are adequately prepared for further education or em- 10.5 ployment: 73.2 50.0 12.2 39.5 4.9 0.0 Students learn to appreciate beauty and the arts: 8.0 60.0 32.0 Students leam to understand the free enterprise system: 0.0 3.2 71.0 25.8 0.0 The school encourages creativity and helps students with special talents: 2.5 72.5 22.5 2.5 The school provides appropriate instruction for gifted and talented students: 0.0 55.9 35.3 8.8 The school offers alternative educational programs for students whose needs are not met by the traditional school program: 0.0 33.3 50.0 16.7 Individual differences in students are taken into account: There is a favorable climate for learning: 5.4 51.4 43.2 0.0 7.9 55.3 34.2 2.6 Students are encouraged to pursue special areas of interest: 0.0 78.8 21,2 There is adequate equipment for learning 0.0 54.1 32.4 Buildings and grounds are adequate for the school program: 0.0 31.7 43.9 0.0 13.5 24.4 The cafeteria provides an orderly and attractive setting for lunch: 0.0 18.9 45.9 35.1 Source: Virginia Department of Education Note 45 parents were interviewed for this survey

Comparable worth studied by Va. administration From Staff and Wire Reports RICHMOND — A 1984 administrative study of the issue of comparable worth in Virginia concluded that it “remains a debatable means of reducing the pay gap between men and women.” A federal appeals court ruling last Wednesday in San Francisco said there is no legal obligation to impose the comparable worth concept on a free labor market. Comparable worth means paying men and women similar wages for different jobs judged to be of equal value. The issue surfaced in Virginia in 1983 when the Virginia Commission on the Status of Women recommended that steps be taken to implement comparable worth compensation in state employment. The 1984 assembly directed that the secretaries of administration and finance, Department of Planning and Budget and Department of Personnel and Training examine what changes would be needed to shift to such a program and what the price tag would be. The study concluded a comparable worth approach would require abandoning the state’s equal pay for equal work concept, which pays men and women the same wage for doing identical jobs. Replacing it would be a system in which dissimilar jobs would have to be given the same wage value. “This would require significant time and resources,” the study said. Death sentence upheld RICHMOND — The state had no obligation to pay for a psychiatrist to assist Lem Davis Tuggle Jr. in his capital murder trial, the Virginia Supreme Court said Friday in upholding his death sentence a second time. Tuggle’s case gave the court its first major opportunity to review a death sentence under a Feb. 26 U.S. Su Virginia Roundup preme Court ruling that some poor defendants are entitled to an independent psychiatrist at state expense, said Deputy Attorney General Donald Gehring. Jeffrey Gleason, Tuggle’s lawyer, said he will take the case back to the U.S. Supreme Court. Tuggle was convicted and sentenced to die for the 1983 rape and murder of Jessie Geneva Havens in Smyth County. He was one of six death row inmates who escaped May 31, 1984, from the Mecklenburg Correctional Center. He was recaptured a week later in Maine. The state court first upheld Tuggle’s conviction and sentence in November 1984. But the U.S. Supreme Court sent the case back for review, citing its decision in Ake v. Oklahoma, which said states must provide independent psychiatrists to assist poor defendants if their sanity is likely to be a factor in their defense. Rape test developing CHARLOTTESVILLE — A University of Virginia scientist said Friday he may be close to discovering a process by which rape suspects can be identified through their semen. “That’s the direction we’re pushing our research,” said Dr. John C. Herr, director of U. Va.’s Lymphocyte Culture Center and a member of the medical school staff. Dr. Herr and fellow researchers at U.Va., working under a Federal Bureau of Investigation grant, already have cloned an antibody that identifies semen. He said that finding could be vital in proving that a rape has occurred in cases where semen but no sperm was left behind, such as when a man is infertile or has had a vasectomy. Forensics experts with the FBI and Scotland Yard in England have begun working with Dr. Herr’s discovery and should be using it in acutal cases within a short time, the scientist said. Dr. Herr believes his work eventually will become the standard for police departments. He said his test “is very specific and very accurate.” The theory behind Dr. Herr’s test is based on genetic research. Every human body produces antibodies, substances that identify foreign matter. Thousands of different anybodies are produced for various foreign matter that enters the body. Dr. Herr has isolated the anitbody that identifies semen. He then developed a two-hour test that can be performed in police laboratories or hospital emergency rooms to detect the presence of semen. Walker case delayed NORFOLK — A judge has postponed the sentencing of convicted spy Arthur J. Walker until after the Oct. 28 trial of Walker’s brother, the alleged leader of an espionage ring made up of retired and active duty Navy men. U.S. District Judge J. Calvitt Clarke Jr. tried Walker without a jury and on Aug. 9 found him guilty of seven counts of espionage. Walker faces maximum penalties of three life terms plus 40 years in prison and $40,000 in fines. Judge Clarke approved an order Wednesday changing the sentencing date from Oct. 15 to Nov. 12. Assistant U.S. Attorney Tommy E. Miller, who prosecuted the case, agreed to the continuance. “It was just too close to John’s trial, and we would like to postpone it as long as possible to let things settle down,” said J. Brian Donnelly, one of Arthur Walker’s two court-appointed lawyers. Walker’s brother, John A. Walker Jr., 48, a Norfolk private detective and a retired chief warrant officer, will be tried in federal court in Baltimore. Arthur Walker, 50, was the first of four men—including John Walker’s son, Michael, and Jerry A. Whitworth of Davis, Calif.—to be tried on charges of selling Navy secrets to the Soviet Union. Marital rape law urged NORFOLK — Virginia should pass a law to protect wives against rape by their husbands, regardless of whether the couple is living together, women’s rights advocates and lawyers urged a General Assembly task force. Most of the 12 people who testified Thursday urged the committee to devise a strong marital rape law. The hearing was the second of four planned by the 12-member panel before it compiles its recommendations for the 1986 General Assembly. Among those testifying were two women who id that they hao been raped by their husbands. Both used pseudonyms. One said she had been separated from her husband about a month when he came back and raped he’. “I t It so dirty, so cheap,” she said. “I felt like committing suicide.” Marriage does not give husbands unlimited sexual rights to their wives, said Laura Everhart, an assistant commonwealth’s attorney in Chesapeake. “A married woman should be afforded the same protection as any other woman,” she said. ‘Clarence Darrow’ to perform at Gay Street Theatre Photo Courtesy of RAAC CLARENCE DARROW, as portrayed by stage veteran Ted Eiland, will be presented as a one-man shcnv Sept. 21 at the Gay Street Theatre at 8 p.m. County emergency r ire and rescue The following calls were routed through the dispatch center in the past week: Sept. 4: 5:43 p.m., illness, Rt. 611 Culpeper County, Amissville Fire Department; 6:31 p.m., insulin shock, Rt. 211, Washington Fire Department; 11:28 p.m., difficulty breathing, Rt. 522 Flint Hill, Flint Hill Fire Department.

One-man shows are rare, requiring the combination of a monumental historic figure whose appeal lies not only in his works but in his personality, and a performer with the perception to portray that personality and the ability to interest the audience for two hours without props, without.other actors, without action or scene changes. According to critics, that combination has been found in Eiland’s portrayal of Clarence Darrow. The critics saTd: —“Ted Eiland plays the part of Darrow, submerging himself so in the character that it seems as though this is what Darrow must have looke< .ike and sounded like. Eiland, in a rumpled suit (“I sleep in it,” says L -ow), suspenders with just a touen of red, white and blue Corrections Wrong player Benita Atkins, a player on the Rappahannock County High School girls’ basketball team was incorrectly identified in the cutline of the team photo.

His timing and delivery is so shrewd, studied and varied — and the play moves so well from personal to historical incident, time and again — that the evening just flies by.” — Matt Roush, Today. “Clarence Harrow” was written specifically for Henry Fonda, who commented at the show’s closing that he considered it the apex of his career. It was chosen by Eiland after the faculty of Western Carolina University, where he was teaching theatre arts, asked him to do a oneman play. Acting is Eiland’s second career. For 35 years he was a radio and television executive and acted in community theatres as he found the time. He has appeared in lead and major roles in 40 plays. After his re tirement from his first career, he has performed leading roles in Inherit the Wind, The Sunshine Boys, The Heiress, A Man for All Seasons, On Golden Pond, The Lion in Winter, On Borrowed Time and Plaza Suite. Eilond first performed as Clarence Darrow in 1977, then again in 1979 and again in 1983, each time memorizing 69 pages of script, much of it verbatim courtroom testimony. Eiland is the father of Stuart Eiland, president of the Rappahannock Players and program director and fiscal vice president of RAAC. “Clarence Darrow” opens at 8 p.m. Sept. 21 at the Gay Street Theatre.

POLITICS AND RAPPAHANNOCK just have not met face-to-face for the Democrats so far during this campaign. State Sen. Virgil Goode (inset at far left) addresses small gathering at the shelter on the Sperryville Carnival Grounds Sunday after Gerald Baliles, the party’s candidate for governor and honoree, cancelled that morning. L. Douglas Wilder (top photo), Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor stopped in Rappahannock County last week during one his two projected swings through this part of the state before the election. Wilder found a sympathetic ear in Margaret Barron and her dog at their Viewtown home General District Court Carl Edward Frye was found guilty in General District Court on Tuesday of reckless driving (92/55), but Judge John Alexander was lenient due to Frye’s attitude. Frye had pled not guilty to the charge. Trooper R.A. Baines testified that he was operating radar on Route 522 on May 26 when he saw Frye’s vehicle come around a curve at a high speed. The vehicle’s speed was registered at 92 on Trooper Baines’ radar. Trooper Baines said that he turned to stop Frye, but could not find him. Rappahannock Deputy Gary Settle advised Trooper Baines that he had seen Frye’s car stopped on Route 662. Trooper Baines found Frye and charged him with reckless driving. Frye agreed with Trooper Baines’ testimony. “I was overeager, and I punched it,” Frye said. “I never knew what my license meant until now when I could lose it, and I need it for work.” He said that he works in Arlington. He said that his speedometer was not working properly. “Whether it was working or not, you knew you were speeding,” said Judge Alexander. Judge Alexander fined Frye $100 in addition to $20 costs. “I’m going to hang a sword over your head,” Judge Alexander said. “Within 12 months, if you’re convicted of speeding or reckless driving in this court, I will ground you for at least 90 days, and it’s a long walk to Arlington. By your attitude, I think you are impressed with the seriousness of this matter.” Other cases decided Tuesday included: Leroy Sisk, assault and battery, dismissed. James William Hackley, possession of marijuana, dismissed. Tina Leigh Sophia, possession of marijuana, dismissed. Jarald Wayne Brown, forgery, giving false information to officer, 66/55, continued to Oct. 8 to get counsel. Earl Williamson Douglas, Jr., no registration, $25/$25; no trailer registration, $25; driving on suspended license, continued to Oct. 10. Howard Snyder Link, Jr., 65/55, $20/$25.

Washington, Va 22747 HOURS: 8 30 a m to 5:30 p m , Mon -Fri Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation L_J THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12,1985 Holding good students This week, the second installment of a series appears in this newspaper detailing results of a Virginia Department of Education survey of our public school system — the most extensive research by an outside, presumably unbiased team of trained professionals conducted on Rappahannock County Schools. One fact stands out like a stick in the mud. Students who are labeled as being either gifted or talented are not getting the education they are capable of handling. As a result, the rest of the county school system — in fact, the remainder of the county itself — is stuck with the short end of that stick. It is the perception of a vast majority of teachers and parents who were polled that the county’s public school system is failing miserably wThen it comes to providing instruction to the gifted and talented — that group of students who demonstrate an extraordinary ability in one or more fields not necessarily offered in basic courses, whether it be in the physical arts, the sciences, languages, music. Consistently, that shortcoming is identified in a survey of all groups: — Incredibly, 22 of the 26 elementary school teachers who responded identified the shortcoming, as did: — More than one-quarter of the elementary school parents, one of the highest negative responses parents offered, and — Nearly half of those parents of high school students who responded, as did: —Fourteen of the 16 secondary school teachers who answered that question. While the reaction from parents appears to be balanced, it should be pointed out that such high percentages of parents voicing negative opinion is inconsistent with the other areas of the survey. Parents were clearly more critical about teaching the gifted and the talented. That 36 of the 42 responding teachers — nearly 86 percent! — admitted that their own school cannot offer those gifted students appropriate instruction is a serious indictment of the overall ability of our school system. It is important to teach the basics. It is important to teach a trade to those graduating seniors who plan to enter the work force. And it is important to offer those whose abilities are lacking the chance to catch up. A school system in 1985 is expected to do that. It should be demanded of our schools. But it is certainly no less important to offer those who can excel the instruction — the simple chance — to do just that. By not offering such courses, we may as well sit those gifted students — bound and gagged — in the parking lot for half the day. The education they receive in the asphalt classroom will be equal to what they receive inside the school building. About the only productivity that will result is their daydreaming. And unless that is encouraged and fostered and directed, that, too, is wasted energy. We live in an area where private schools in surrounding counties are looking to lure these students who possess a special talent away from the public system. The public school systems of this country — fr'im the big-city schools right down to the grass roots level of Rappahannock County — need to keep all this creative energy and these bright ideas where they will do the most good — in their own community. With that energy at home, we all benefit; we can develop a distinct community identity. Without that energy, we will be no better than the mediocrity we set out to achieve. Rappahannock heritage— Stream in the Shenandoah National Forest above Harris Hollow George Bowles For a year in which the voters of the state will elect a governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general, to say nothing of all 100 members of the House of Delegates, the campaigns of 1985 are getting off to what the old-timers would call “a mighty quiet start.” For the uninitiated. Labor Day ‘Quiet start’ to campaign weekend is the time-honored opening gun for the political races in the state. To be sure, many of the candidates have been running for months, and in the case of the statewide hopefuls, for years. But the unofficial kickoff is Labor Day, and its principal events are the parades and speeches in Buena Vista and Covington. There are, of course, scores of similar festivities held across the Commonwealth, notably in Christiansburg, Lexington and Fredericksburg, to name a few. But according to those who attended those events this year, there was something different about them. The crowds appeared smaller in many places. Their reception of the candidates was generally less enthusiastic, and their interest in bands and floats appeared to be notably more compelling than their concern with what Gov. Chuck Robb, the featured speakers and the candidates had to say to them. Now this is not to say that the crowds dozed off. It’s just that the events lacked the zip and zing of the political fireworks of earlier years. But if the kickoff oratory did not exactly have people jumping up and down with enthusiasm, that is nothing new. It has been the general pattern of response to campaign events as this summer of ’85 fades into autumn. Indeed, there is considerable head-scratching in both parties about where the candidates are going and where they are taking the voters. Democratic loyalists, for example, have been quietly asking Continued on Page 5 Letters to the editor No cosmic Rambos To the editor: I’m glad that Pat Bruce listens (letter, Sept. 5) to the source of Wicca (or “witchcraft” as it was wrongly named by the patriarchal priests of the Inquisition. The practice condemned by the New Testament is “pharmakeia” — a word more descriptive of the recently disclosed practices of several giant pharmaceutical manufacturers.) “Wicca” is derived from the word for “wisdom,” whom the Old Testament book of Proverbs presents as a divine, feminine being who says, “I have stretched out my hand and no man regarded.” And since we are dealing with the reality behind woman’s and man’s doctrines, I can say that it is exactly this disregarding of the feminine aspect of God that Pat Bruce condemns — in the company of wisdom — as “patriarchy.” For she says, also, “your destruction cometh as a whirlwind,” and “prosperity. . .shall destroy them.” Nathaniel Tam wrote in Lyrics for the Bride of God, “They said we don’t know about a female aspect of God. It goes against the grain and it has little to do with the tradition....” I was under the impression, however, that the patriarchy ceased to exist in the sixties. But like a chicken I slaughtered the other day, it kept on thinking it was alive. Kinda (sic) like Ronald Reagan and his dopplegangers. My critic on the right, Tom Marshall, votes for an all masculine Trinity. Pat Bruce, on the left, writes about the “Triple Goddess” — an all feminine version. 1 am so pleased to find myself in the middle ground. But perhaps I ought to explain again: I write that I have been shown, and show, by way of validation, what others have seen of the same vision: Lama Anagarika saw the Daystar as a female Maitreya, the coming Buddah; in Hopi Indian prophecy, she is revealed as a Saquashohuh (Blue Star) Kachina; Stevie Wonder sang about her as Black Orchid; and to Black Elk she appeared as the Day-break Star. She appears in the Bible, the URANITA Book, as well as in contemporary Wiccan and feminist literature. How a person who claims to have given up racism and male privilege can dismiss a promised visitation in the likeness of a “Black” teenage “female,” as a “cosmic Rambo in drag” is perhaps linked with the unrependent Marxist-Leninist Wobbly influence I seem to detect lurking not very far beneath the surface of his feminism. In us run two counter, parallel forces — if we give into on God (or Goddess!). Let’s get rid of all anthropomorphic theology. Divinity is beyond human concepts but they must suffice — there are better ones and worse ones. Women anciently took their spiritual understanding and created matriarchal religions. When men took over, they substituted their own versions which became patriarchal religions. Now “God” — the divine “trinity” — will be viewed more as a complete family. And as masculine and feminine begin to assume their righteous positions, sexual harmony will prevail, and out ideas of the meaning of “family” will grow. It will be understood that we are all siblings of divine, cosmic parents. We are entering the aeon where we shall no longer need to count on prophecies, divination, ancient books or the perceptions of others than ourselves for our ideas about religion, for the Daystar will help us all find the “day star” (“phosporus” or divine light) within. . .our personal and individual channel for revelation. And since the Divine Mother, the feminity which has so long been supressed, nearly excluded from the speedily crumbling present world system (called the Kingdom of the Beast in the Bible), represents the world of spiritualized human action — as this action becomes prevalent throughout the planet, new social, political and ecomonic institutions will be formed which will better fit the needs we yearn to have fulfilled. No cosmic Rambos, and we don’t need to fight to win. Just live up to your highest spiritual understanding in the present era, and go forward. It’s time to have some fun. PETER HOLLEY BOSTON Paul McFarlane One of the things about growing older that still amazes me is the resistance one develops to battle life’s little setbacks. Now that I’m 28 years old, for instance, that periodic pimple which surfaces affects me so little that it’s hard to remember how a surprise zit, plunk dab in the middle of the forehead, could ruin your whole teenage day. And now that I’m waging a battle to maintain some remnants of a waistline, skinny jokes no longer bother me the way they did when I slithered through my formative years. In my athletic prime, which I believe can be pinpointed to one Saturday afternoon in April 1973, I never thought I’d see the day when I would worry about a spare tire pulling on my stomach. I was more concerned about somebody asking Baseball me to take off my shirt in public. In fact, as a high school sophomore, my baseball coach once stopped a scrimmage because, he said, he lost sight of his first baseman. That was me. “Where’s McFarlane?” bellowed the coach who didn’t know my first name until the postseason awards ceremony. “Oh, there he is; he just turned sideways.” Nice joke. Like when somebody said I could turn at a certain angle to make the passing wind whistle. Or about having to run around in the shower to get wet. In baseball, when the very nature of the sport permits its participants time to exchange such barbs, the thin-skinned get gutted. When I’d get thrown out trying to steal second — on a pass ball — you know the grief has only begun. Or when it took a double off the wall to score me from second, I knew I that would draw some attention from the bench. I was not particularly fleet of foot. What with the major league pennant drives hitting full stride this month — more games are on television, newspapers chock full of baseball news, like who’s winning the batting races and who’s doing cocaine (when playing the game between the lines takes on a whole new meaning) — it becomes easy to get caught up in the groundswell of baseball fever. I even peruse my weekly copy of The Sporting News more now than in the spring when I ordered my sports bible, as the TV ads so proclaimed. Maybe the thought of September heroicshas kicked me into baseball-mode, but remembering the days when chucking around the pill was the day’s only concern is an appealing memory. Honesty, however, destroys such lofty daydreams. I was never the home-run hitter, nor the graceful outfielder, nor the fireballer. I never won the championship game in the waning moments of the season’s final game, never got the standing ovation movies and television insist exist. Life ain't Roy Hobbs. My sports library is limited: a trophy for being bat boy on my father’s championship softball team, a “Coach of the Year” plaque my girls’ softball team bought for me as a joke, a baseball I got for making the Babe Ruth All-Star team. Those are my only shields of honor. No need to build a showcase here. But, despite being slow and only an average stick man even on my better days, I could, however, bunt with the best of them. Hey, everybody’s got to be good at something. They say home-run hitters drive Cadillacs, singles’ hitters Fords. Those who can only bunt must walk to work. While my teammates — the fireball pitcher who was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles, the deer-like outfielder who went to college on an athletic scholarship, the home-run hitting outfielder who beat up the school’s wimps — were powerful and yet graceful and at ease on that quartercircle known as a baseball field, I was set apart by my ability to bunt without equal Still can. Baseball men today say bunting is a lost art, that “moving runners up a base” is a phase of the game that has all the certainty of hitting the three-run homer. Coaches flash the bunt sign. Maybe the play will work; maybe it won’t. You pays your money, you takes your chances. But the single greatest moment of my high school athletic career was a direct result of my uncanny knack for kissing the ball with the bat, rolling the ball to spot on the infield grass where it stopped as though I had it on a leash. For one, being able to bunt kept me out of the embarrassing double play, something the scorekeeper recorded the instant I hit a ground ball with runners in front of me. With a runner on third and McFarlane at the plate, the suicide squeeze — bunting the ball while the runner dashes for home, sacrificing the batter’s at-bat for the chance to score a run — had a greater rate of success than depending on a lifetime .220 hitter to drive an otitside pitch to right for a twoout ribbie. Although fantasies call for filming the screaming line drive over the second baseman’s head, reality’s script interrupted the dream and rolled the bunt sequence. However, when the game situation demanded a bunt, the opposition unknowingly played right into my strength. So it was, as a skinny, impressionable high school sophomore that I had my most spectacular plate appearance. On a bright, sunny, Saturday morning in mid-April, I squeeze-bunted my way into history. It was a day when the air was warm and ambition unlimited. We were playing a make-up game and our team needed a conference win to stay close to the earlyseason leaders. On that day, the regular firstbaseman was either sick or in jail — whichever —so I got the start. In my second at-bat, with a runner at third, I knew what was coming. The coach flashed the squeeze sign, I got the perfect pitch to bunt and rolled that sucker nine feet up the third base line where it rolled to a dead stop, a three-yard RBI. The coach, who still didn’t know my first name, said “Good job” and patted me on the fanny. I returned to the bench my insides hootin’ and hollerin’ but on my face I carried a feigned look of confi lence that said I knew how to do it all along. For a brief moment one Saturday afternoon in April, even a huge forehead zit could not dim my spirits.

Atoka Supper planned Saturday White House Chief of Staff Donald T. Regan will address the more than 3,000 Republicans expected to attend the 1985 Atoka Country Supper, Virginia’s premiere annual political event, on Saturday at Atoka Farm near Middleburg. Atoka is the home of Sen. John Warner. Other Republicans candidates for state-wide offices who are expected to attend include Wyatt Durrette for governor, John Chichester for lieutenant governor and W. R. (Buster) O’Brien for attorney general. The Atoka Country Supper kicks off the fall campaign. Also expected to attend are Sen. Paul S. Trible and Congressmen French Slaughter, Stan Parris and Frank Wolf, as well as former governors John Dalton and A. Linwood Holton. Mary Timmerman of Amissville is a co-chairman of the event. Tickets to the dinner cost $30 per person. The rainout date is Sept. 15. More information may be obtained by calling Helen Neese in New Market at 740-3738. Campaign Continued from page 1 each other what on earth has happened to the gubernatorial campaign of Jerry Baliles. Here it is September and no major issues have emerged to catch the public’s eye which weren’t there when the candidates started sparring more than a year ago. Democrats are somewhat frustrated by Republican Wyatt Durrette’s constant use of popcorn-type issues which boast very little pizzazz, but which keep popping out of his box of debating points. Durrette, by the way, skipped the Labor Day doings downstate to campaign in Northern Virginia. Baliles, Democratic lieutenant governor candidate L. Douglas Wilder and attorney general candidate Mary Sue Terry were on hand in Buena Vista and Covington, as were GOP lieutenant governor candidate John Chichester and attorney general hopeful W. S. “Buster” O’Brien. Because none of them said anything to stir the crowds, the crowds remained unstirred. But as we said, all this was just the opening gun, and matters could heat up considerably in the seven weeks remaining before Election Day. If they are to do so, however, a number of things will have to happen. Baliles will have to accept the fact that Gov. Chuck Rbbb, as popular as he is, can’t pull the election off for him. Baliles must recognize that he, not Robb, may be governor for the next four years and that the people want to hear his solutions to the problems of the last years of the decade of the ’80s, and not to those of the first years. Talk about the future has been more theoretical than practical. Durrette faces much the same problem. Gov. Mills E. Godwin may be able to help, but he can’t elect Durrette. Also the GOP candidate, as well as his running mates, must abandon the comfortable notion that it is impossible to be too conservative in Virginia. Most Virginia voters are looking for the most responsible, not the most reactionary, solutions to their problems. This is true even in modem Virginia when the reactionary solutions are masked in winks and code words. Chichester needs a bit of the same lesson, as does O’Brien. Wilder is the best orator in either camp, and if any candidate has advnaced any new ideas it has been the Democrats’ candidate for lieutenant governor. This does not mean that he is about to win the election, although he is said to be making gains. Most observers put him far behind Chichester at this point, although he is battling mightily to pick up hotly-contested ground. Terry has concentrated mainly on raising money up to this point, and on a stock speech about why she would like to be elected attorney general. So far it has worked well, but in the weeks ahead she and O’Brien will have to first define and then confront each other on the issues involved in the race. The point we are making, however, is that both the Democratic and Republican campaigns are opening on a note which seems intentionally designed to turn the voters off. For some reason it appears that both parties have decided that a boring, low-key and uninteresting campaign fits their strategy this year. That’s the irony of politics in the Old Dominion. While the politicians appear to be trying to make the elections as uninteresting as possible for the voters, the voters could be getting ready to add a new and historic chapter to their chronicle. But if they are, this potentially historic election is getting off, again to quote the old-timers, to “a mighty quiet start” in the precincts of the commonwealth. This Was The News In Bygone Rappahannock Times.. . 25 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS From the Sept. 12, 1960 edition Rappahannock County was burglarized last week and was considered to be related to a crime wave which has been threatening the county in recent weeks. Thieves got away with about $70 in cash by breaking a classroom window on the back of the building to gain entry. Once inside, they tried to force open the door of the principal’s office without success, so proceeded to break the glass window in the adjoining office and ransacked files and desks in both offices. According to school janitor Alvin Atkins, the crime was committeed sometime after 9 p.m., when he left for the night. The same night, Sperryville Elementary School was also broken into but nothing was taken, as far as could be determined. Torrential rains beat down Sunday afternoon in the wake of a hurricane which lashed the southern portion of the country. No damage was reported locally, but streams flooded their banks. 20 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS From the Sept. 16, 1965 edition Walter Latham of Viewtown was recovering in his home this week after being hospitalized last week from bumble bee stings. He got into the bees’ nest Thursday while working at the farm of his sister, Mrs. G.E. Doyle at Amissville. From the numerous stings, he became ill and was rushed to Fauquier Hospital where he stayed overnight. The Sperryville Fire Com pany answered a call to a brush fire Friday at the residence of Miss Fannie Hilton. “The Rounders,” starring Glen Ford and Henry Fonda, played at the Hillsdale Drive-in near Massies Corner Friday and Saturday nights. “The Truth About Spring,” starring Haley Mills and James MacArthur, was scheduled to play Sunday night. Admission was $1 per carload. 15 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS From the Sept. 10 edition School Supt. O.E. Norton told the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors Saturday that the roof at the high school is in extremely bad condition and will have to be repaired at a cost of $3,000 for half the job and $5,800 for a complete job. Much concern was voiced over such extensive repairs to the building which is only 11 years old. Chairman J.N. Miller suggested the county write a letter to the state board of education concerning the roof, which was built to state specifications. Supt. Norton was instructed to get a second bid for the repair work.

This modem classic is Robert Altman at his best.

The realities, hardships and lawlessness are all there, but the atmosphere and rhythm of the story hang in the mind like a dream. Warren Beatty is a cocky, small time gambler and Julie Christie an ambitious madam; the two merge their businesses to take advantage of the need for diversion in this bleak landscape.

Day DURING THE SHOWING What should a homeowner do during the showing of the house to a prospective buyer? Probably the homeowner would be of the greatest help doing nothing. Often, it’s best that the homeowner not be present at all. Prospects feel that they should not criticize a home when the owner is present. However, part of the Realtor’s job is ferreting out their objections, then offsetting them. Many sales have been made immediately after clearing up such doubts. With the owner around, the problem that is blocking the sale may never be known. If the owner is at home when the Realtor arrives with the prospects, it would be best to withdraw after the introductions. It is not necessary to be present to fill in any awkward gaps in the conversation. It’s during such gaps that many prospects make up their mind to buy. If you ARE going to be around during the showing, you can arrange a vase of freshly cut flowers for the dining table; brew a pot of coffee or iced tea and take the pets out for a walk or turn them out in the yard. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M. DAY, Realtor, The Clopton House, Washington, VA 22747. Phone: 675-3400.

School Continued from page 1 "We budgeted for 975, so were down from our estimate right now,” said Estabrook. “The March 31 figure counts financially, and if this number holds, then there'll be no problem." Bergmann Continued from page 1 perfect, but I use irony now and my English is not perfect," Thomas said. Despite his accent, his English is smooth and understandable. He studied English for five years in Denmark. Thomas’ grades have been up and down these first few weeks of school. "It is hard for me sometimes because I have to translate into Danish and then back into English," he said. That goes for taking tests, too. He has to take them orally because of his broken right arm. He does not plan to tell his parents about his arm until doctors remove the cast. i don’t want them to w'orry about it," Thomas said. Skanderborg is a small town, about the size of Warrenton, he said. Thomas has had very little experience with rural life. “After his first night here, he asked us what all of the noise was during the night," said Lynne. “He was talking about the crickets and bugs." Thomas has been further initiated into rural life through chores such as haying, weeding blueberries and cutting grass. “I like cutting grass with the riding mower because I get to sit and ride," Thomas said. When Lynne mentioned that he does not like trimming with the push mower, Thomas agreed. “That is too much like work,” he said. “I told you in my letters that I am lazy.” While Thomas adapts to life in Rappahannock, the Baineses have been adapting to their first exchange student. "Lee was interested in having an exchange student live with us because he was great friends with a student that was here last year,” Lynne said. “Now he has somebody to be smart-alecky with.” The family has adjusted to Thomas’ personality and practical jokes, but they are still working on his eating habits. "He loves cheeseburgers, and when he first got here, that was the only thing he’d eat for a while,” Lynne said. Thomas’ tastes have expanded to include ham sandwiches, com on the cob and pretzels. "He has eaten about 20 bags of pretzels since he’s been here,” Rufus said. Although he is not allowed to come in at 4 or 6 a.m. on the weekends or 11:30 p.m. on school nights as in Denmark, Thomas is allowed to eat when he wants. “He doesn’t eat if he's not hungry, and then he wants to eat at 9 p.m. or after,” Lynne said. "At home, if my mother says we eat at 5:30, we eat at 5:30,” Thomas said. "1 like the way it is here.” He is not as happy about the curfew observed in the Baines household. "1 have to chase, him into bed every night,” Lynne said. Thomas' mother sent a Danish cookbook to the Baineses so that Thomas can have some of his favorite foods here. "One of his favorite foods is oxtail soup. Rufus said. “We’ve been looking for an ox so we can cut its tail off.” Thomas also experienced a new way ol getting food — the drivethrough window. “That was when we talked into a box and then got our food," Thomas said. He likes movies and has been to theaters five, or six times so far besides watching movies on TV, and he went to his first drive-in movie. His other favorite pastime is girl watching. Thomas will be playing soccer as a member of the RCHS team after he gets a fiber cast for his arm. “Soccer here is different from European soccer,” he said. “In Europe, we kick the ball more and don’t run as much.” Since he does not know the rules, he will not play basketball or baseball. He said that he enjoys watching football on TV but does not think he would like to try playing. Thomas is enjoying his stay in the U.S., but to him, Denmark is still number one. “I think that Denmark is the most wonderful country in the world just as Americans think the U.S. is the most wonderful country,” Thomas said. He will return to Denmark in July. Until then, the Baineses have shown their respect for his feelings by flying the Danish flag beside the American flag in the front yard. “On the first day they did it, they told me to come and see,” Thomas said. “It made me happy.” The attendance rate for students enrolled in Rappahannock schools has been % percent in past years. A policy to handle those absences was discussed by the board. A Senate bill requires that schools make a reasonable effort to advise parents by telephone when their child is not present in school. The policy in Rappahannock has been to advise parents or guardians after a child has been absent three days or more. “This bill doesn’t give us the leeway of three days,” said Reeve. "How much of a hardship would it be for the staff handling this now to check the absentee lists every day?” Estabrook replied that it would be difficult for the elementary school secretary and the high school guidance counselors to comply with the guidelines. “We could ask for volunteer help from the PTA,” said board member Paul Nichols. Board Chairman Beverly Massie suggested that the board issue a directive to the two principals that a reasonable effort should be made to notify parents immediately if their child is not in school, and, if needed, that someone should be appointed to check the lists. Estabrook presented school opening highlights to the board including a report on how the new teachers have started the year. He said that Rappahannock still needs a school psychologist. Belfry bats Continued from page 1 to rid the building of them,” said PierLeonardi. Nonetheless, solving a bat problem at one location only creates a problem elsewhere. “They’re going to look for another nesting place,” PierLeonardi said. Rather than accept the $800 contract proposal which might have called for repairs to the building, Supervisors said they preferred to wait until renovations begin, which they said should be sometime in the fall. Bids were advertised in the spring but none was accepted. Supervisors • are hoping that by advertising in the fall, contractors might be more willing to submit a lower bid to get the work.

The day 6She-Town’ made headlines By PAUL McFARLANE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Judge B. M. Miller probably had no idea what his brainstorm 35 years ago would do for Rappahannock County. It is Judge Miller who is credited — or blamed, depending on your viewpoint — with assembling seven women to campaign for mayor and members of the Washington Town • Council. That all seven women defeated their male opponents as write-in candidates in that June election in 1950 was one thing. But when they were to be sworn into office in a special ceremony on the courthouse steps 35 years ago on Sept. 1, the seven women, including one who qualified for the election just two days before the vote was to be taken, became national news. It was as if “the town became famous overnight,” Dorothy “Dotsy” Davis said at the time. She won the election for mayor by a 51-47 vote, even though Mrs. Davis was afforded just some 24 hours to campaign. At the induction ceremony held on the steps of the county courthouse, members of the media dug out their road maps and explored their way to Rappahannock County. The event — complete with large photographs of the town and its new council — filled the entire front page of the society section of the Sunday Washington Post on Sept. 3,1950. Life magazine published photos and a story of the town’s new mayor in its Sept. 18 edition. Colliers magazine was here and published color photographs — a rarity in 1950 — and other heavyweights in the business on hand included the now-defunct Washington Evening Star. The story of the sweeping change in the temperament of Washington politics and news accounts of the ceremony also made the national news service wires. The story that seven fiesty women unseated seven men on the town’s council was indeed big news in 1950. Only a handful of other American towns were known to be governed completely by women who won a write-in vote, and the fact that Washington, Va., was the first town to b^ named after the first president attracted the interest of some of the big guns in American journalism. Then 28-year-old Mrs. Davis, intelligent, articulate mother of two and wife of an attorney, seemed the Arts, crafts show at JMU Artists and craftspeople from this part of Virginia will have thenwork on display Sept. 14 at the sixth annual Valley Day at James Madison University in Harrisonburg. The festival highlights life in Virginia and a large display of arts and crafts is one of the major events of the day. Persons wishing to show an exhibit may do so by contacting Mike Way or Toni Dull at the JMU Warren Campus Center at 568-6329. There is no fee for exhibitors. Last year, some 60 exhibitors took part in the festival, held alongside the football field and Godwin Hall. Exhibitors may sell their wares during the show, which begins at 2 p.m. and remains open until the game begins. In addition, demonstrations of other skills will be planned, skills including weaving, broom-making, working with old tools, chair-making and blacksmithing. Valley Day is centered on a JMU-Morehead State football game which begins at 7 p.m. There is no admission charge to the event which will also include an antique car show, bluegrass music and folk dance demonstrations.

Life wrote: “. . .Washington’s new first lady is the prettiest mayor this side of Neptune.” Other members of the press corps picked up on the title “Petticoat Regime,” and referred to the new town council in that fashion repeatedly. So when Davis and her six new council members — Achsah Dudley (who tallied the highest vote total with 70), Louise Miller Price, Nellie Elizabeth Racer, Bobbie Critzer, Dorothy Hawkins and Ruby Jenkins (who was out of town when the Post photographed the council that Saturday) — were sworn in on Sept. 1, 1950, to officially take office on Sept. 7, the event attracted some 300 spectators and media-types. The story was newsworthy for other reasons. The local campaign was not over money, or politics, but rather simple issues facing most small towns. The women ran on a platform pledging to replace burned out bulbs in street lights, chase stray dogs from town and trim weeds and keep grass from growing through cracks in the sidewalks and streets. At the time, the town budget barely totalled $1,900. A staggering tax rate was no more of an issue then than it is today. And the women certainly didn’t make the effort for the money. The mayor’s job paid $5 month; council members were paid $2. Politics was not at issue. Life reported on Sept. 18 that Rappahannock County “is so unanimously Democratic that it tried to secede from Virginia when the state went Republican in 1928.” Instead, the women believed the council maintained a “do-nothing” posture. The Post, in what today might be considered a sexist remark, interpreted that posture of the male council as “just inefficient housekeeping, and housekeeping was something they knew all about.” The unresponsive, all-male council that was ousted drew sharp criticism from Judge Miller, who was caused to pronounce that a “bunch of women could run this town as well.” His quip rang a bell inside the judge’s head and he proceeded to recruit women for the campaign. But there was one hitch: The woman slated to run for mayor was discovered to have failed to pay her poll tax and was therefore declared ineligible. That was two days before the election, according to a 1971 recap in the New York Times. Mrs. Davis agreed to run and spent the two days of her campaign knocking on doors. The tactic worked. Ninety-eight ballots were cast for mayor; at the time, the town listed 122 registered voters. “It was sort of a lark, really,” Mrs. Davis said from her home this week. “Everybody was sort of caught up in this joke.” Mrs. Davis served 10 terms. “I was the one that the joke was on,” she said with a laugh. Twenty-two years later, in 1972, the town had the same mayor, who told the Washington Evening Star that she would not seek reelection to Vfhe tmtim Mate Taken (her Wmhwgiwt SaJ r .-fy # ^ „ < i'-HSfi Photo Courtesy of First Washington's Museum THE NEW TOWN COUNCIL in Washington — an all-woman council — was featured on the society page section front of the Sept. 3, 1950 Washington Post.

(Mayor Davis served as mayor for 20 years during that span, taking off one two-year term to have her third child and was “otherwise preoccupied with family matters” during those years, the Times reported. “That’s hard to believe,” she said Tuesday.) “It’s hard to believe that this would have created such a sensation,” the former mayor said this week. “You know this was (considered) the forefront of what would later become the woman’s movement.” But while the press played the story to its saturation point, not everyone was thrilled by the municipal gender change. After all, this was still a rural county in 1950. Some time following the election, a sign was nailed just outside the town limits welcoming visitors to “She-Town.” The June 15 issue of the Rappahannock News which announced the election result, carried comments from a Dr. Snead, who was no less amused by the prospects of an all-woman council. “Why the change?,” he was asneu. The doctor answered: “Snippy Miller sat on the benches in front of the courthouse so much that he collected a splinter. As the splinter festered, so festered the idea of a woman mayor and council.” Snippy apparently confirmed the tale: Dr. Snead served as Snippy’s physician. The lame duck council apparently also took some shots at Judge Miller, who was the ladies’ campaign chairman. Reported the News: “There have been threats to impose an amusement tax on Trial Justice B. M. Miller. . .for the air he has breathed the last 10 days.” The all-woman council was not the only place women ventured into public life in 1950 Washington. “There were other women who held prominent positions” during that time, said Mrs. Davis. “And you certainly would never have expected that in a rural, conservative state.” But by electing Mrs. Davis, the taxpayers ultimately saved themselves some money. Being married to a Justice Department attorney, Mrs. Davis was able to persuade her husband, George, to donate legal advice during the mayor’s tenure. George apparently took the extra duty in stride. He told the Evening Star in its May 7, 1972, edition: “There are two kinds of husbands: Those who are henpecked and those who lie about it.” *a*MW**i wiss* * .»■&*•* $»* * -> l\v*'. *«*'*■« * Wx^. ** fef $*<(►*<# ^ Jjeww; ***** «**«k**ft*v SI»os<* ■#(*>« JR*** -i# Photo Courtesy First Washington’s Museum LII^E MAGAZINE FEATURED Washington’s mayor, “Dotsy” Davis in this full page design from its Sept. 18, 1950 issue.

Panther runners, 8th in state last year, need home course By PAUL McFARLANE Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Rappahannock High School cross country coach Ann Spieker has a problem most high school coaches would love to have. She has too many bodies for positions on her team. But she also has a problem nobody wants. The Golden Panthers have no home course. Oh, they can lap the elementary school enough times to stretch the race to its 3.1 miles, and they can practice through the wooded trails of Howard Holschuh’s farm near Rock Mills. Still, the course the team ran a year ago, on the other side of U.S. 522/211, was sold and divided into parcels. The team can no longer run there. Other neighboring farms provide obstacles: namely, livestock which tend to interfere with those running for fast times. So, the Panthers will settle for lapping the elementary school, a course as boring as it is flat. “The course is flat and that presents a problem,” said Spieker, whose 1984 team finished second in the Bull Run District, fifth at the Region B meet and eighth in Group A. “When the team travels to other schools that have steep hills on their courses, we can’t climb them.” Which also marks a very definite change in the makeup of the Rappahannock runners, where the ability to run well on hilly courses has been a trademark for years. Another new look on the team is the absence of three of the team’s top four runners from a year ago. However, as Spieker said, “There is always someone coming along to replace them.” And with 20 runners on the boys’ teams — and eight on a girls’ team that this year competes formally for the first time — the odds of finding GIRLS RUNNING cross country for Rappahannock County High School include (front, left to right) Kelly Brown, Denise Eidson, Karen Ludwick, Heather Blevins, (back row) Kathy Dodson, Leslie Nichols, Anna Hudson and Bonnie Grimsley. RCES plans school night Rappahannock County Elementary' School is holding a “back to school night” tonight at the school from 7:30 to 8:45. Parents will have an opportunity to visit their children’s classroom, look at examples of classroom work and hear about their progress. Students’ grades and performances will not be discussed at this meeting. More information concerning the evening’s schedule may be obtained by calling the school. High school coming events The schedule at Rappahannock County High School *his week includes: Today: School dismissed at 2 p.m., Girls’ basketball home against ’ Manassas Park; senior picture makeups; junior pictures taken. , Tomorrow: Pictures taken for grades 8, 9, 10. Saturday: Cross country travels to Eastern Mennonite Invitational. Tuesday: Girls’ basketball at Page County; home soccer match vs. St. Anne’s Belfield at 4:30, admission $2. Wednesday: Cross country at Stonewall, 5 p.m. Thursday (9-19); Girls’ basketball at Clarke County, 6 p.m. Friday (9-20): Home soccer match vs. Seton Academy. replacements appear to be high. The top three runners heading into yesterday’s scheduled opener with Luray were expected to be juniors Jonathan Watson, Marley Hay and John Dodson, who are also what Spieker is calling her “experienced” group, one of three informal breakdowns of the team. Also on the experienced crew are juniors Neil Burke and Todd Williams and sophomores Mike Dunn, Tom Taylor and Tony Clark. A middle group that has run well but lacks competing experience includes junior Rodney Grimsley, David Bick, the team’s only senior, and Greg Daczewitz, Butch Foster, Adam Clatterbuck, Wesley Jenkins, Dan Herman and John Brown. Also running with the team, although ineligible to compete, are Christopher Moyles, Corey Thompson and Philip Daczewitz. Seventh grader Mathew Eidson is also running with the team. On the girls’ side, the district will be something of a mystery. This is the first year of formal competition for the girls, although some of the talent could have been assessed in a “run” last year, although times and finishes were not recorded. The girls will also run in a state meet for the first time at the Group A level this year. It would appear that Karen Ludwick, a senior, will lead the team. Ludwick finished fourth in the girls’ run last year and lends experience. Denise Eidson (eighth in the run a year ago), Bonnie Grimsby and Heather Blevins are juniors with some running experience, whether that be cross country or on the spring track. The team’s sophomores include Kelly Brown and Leslie Nichols and the freshmen class is represented by Kathy Dodson and Anna Nichols, both of whom ran last year but were ineligible to compete. Said Spieker: “The girls’ competition is wide open.” LEATHERCOAT Cafe Specialties Charcoal Grilled Pizza with Wild Mushrooms, Bufala Mozzarella, Tomato, and Parmesan Cheese Served with House Salad $7.50 Wild Mushroom and Onion Soup 3.75 Shrimp Salad Sandwich with Lettuce Served with Fried New Potatoes 6.50 Rabbit and Game Terrine Served with Mustard, Capers, Olives, and Red Onion 6.25 Grilled Duck Marinated in Lime and Ginger Garnished with a Sesame Plum Sauce 12.50 Dinner: Wednesday-Saturday 5:30 p.m.-10 p.m. Sundays 5 p.m.-9 p.m. Brunch: Saturday and Sunday 11:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Reservations suggested (703) 253-5286 / D.C. metro (703) 471-5327 Loudoun & Stuart Streets, The Plains, Virginia Announcing Enrollments in. . . i j ■■ A computer-based introduction to Writing and Reading Students have fun with pictures and games while they learn letters and sounds with a computer that talks.

Some 340 students — including more than 100 new students — have swelled the school’s enrollment. The school’s two boarding houses were reported full. Wakefield opens for fall term “0 heavenly Father, send down upon this school here assembled Your blessing, grant us Your divine guidance and protection...and make us ever mindful that You are the source of all wisdom.... ” With this traditional invocation, Wakefield School in Huntly opened the 1985-86 session, the 13th in the school’s history. In remarks made during opening ceremonies on Monday, Headmaster William Lynn urged students and faculty to hold steadfastly to the vision of academic excellence that had inspired the school’s founding. “With 12 years of rapid growth and expansion behind us,” Lynn said, “we have come to the end of the beginning, but as we enter a new phase, we must not leave behind the pioneering spirit of our early years. With a continuing renewal of spirit and commitment, Wakefield can become during the next decade one of the great educational institutuions of our land,” Lynn told his young audience. Attending a Wakefield assembly for the first time were over 100 new students from all over Northern Virginia, five other states and four foreign countries. According to school officials, the new bus services this year to Luray, Woodstock and Charles Town, W.Va. have brought in students from more distant points * and helped to swell the school’s enrollment. In addition, the school’s two boarding houses are reported full. At the opening assembly, new Wakefield faculty members were presented to the school: Dr. Philippe Cognon will teach the senior Modem World Literature course and the AP French V class. A native of France, Dr. Cognon holds a MA in literature from Wadham College, Osford University, and a Ph.D. from the University of Paris. For over 20 years, he was lecturer in French literature at Trinity College, Dublin, where he was for a time the tutor of Wakefield’s headmaster. In more recent years, Dr. Cognon has taught literature at Yale University and at Connecticut College. A familiar face at Wakefield, he has served for years as the educational consultant to Wakefield’s Board of Trustees. A writer, artist and concert pianist of distinction, Dr. Cognon lives in Flint Hill. Mrs. Erin Duffy has been appointed to teach several English classes, including senior composition. Mrs. Duffy earned her BA from Geneva College in Pennsylvania, and her MA from Duquesne University where she subsequently taught freshman composition for five years. Mr. Patrick Duffy has joined Wakefield’s expanding classics department where he will teach several courses in Latin and Greek. A native of Pittsburgh, Mr. Duffy was graduated from Duquesne University and earned his MA in classics from the University Of Pittsburgh while employed as a steel worker. For the past several ygg^.he has taught Latin in Pittsburgh parochial schools while completing his Ph.D. dissertation in Homeric Greek. Mr. and Mrs. Duffy and their three young daughters live in Flint Hill. Mrs. Noelle Cummings, a native of France, has been named the new chairman of Wakefield’s French department. Mrs. Cummings grew up in Algeria and received her BA from the University of Algiers. Later, after moving with her American husband to Florida, she taught French for six years at the Palm Beach Day School and headed the Modem Language Department at St. Andrew’s School. For the past 18 years, Mrs. Cummings has taught French at the Powhatan School in Boyce. Mrs. Cummings lives in Berryville. Also joining the Wakefield faculty as a French teacher is Miss Sally Minitree, of Orlean. A BA graduate of Sweet briar College, Miss Minitree sp^ht her junior year abroad studying French at the University of Montpelier in France. Her teaching experience includes two years as French instructor at the Highland School in Warrenton. At Wakefield, Miss Minitree will teach French to children in grades 1-6. Mrs. Bonnie Williams has been appointed Wakefield’s new director of music. Having taught privately for the past 10 years, Mrs. Williams recently received her Bachelor’s Degree in music education from the Shenandoah Conservatory in Winchester. For the past two years, she has been student teaching at Wakefield and in Fauquier County public schools. Mrs. Williams is an active member of the Washington Baptist Church, where she has been the choir director and organist for the past eight years. In welcoming Wakefield’s new faculty members, Dr. Lynn noted their high qualifications, years of teaching experience and dedication to the academic ideals of the school. _ Photo Courtesy of Helen Ruisi WAKEFIELD SCHOOL in Huntly opened its doors for the 1985-86 school year to some 340 new students and six new members to the faculty. The school is now in its 13th year. Perry requests sewage extension By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer A request by Perry Engineering for a two-month extension for completion of the Sperryville Sewage Plant was submitted to the Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority at its meeting Sept. 5. The plant was to be completed on Oct. 12, but the firm asked for a delay until Dec. 17 because of a late construction start. The firm asked that the WSA authorize a change of order form to reflect the new target date. The proposed change would then be sent to the State Water Control Board for approval. WSA Chairman Bob Dennis said that a possible delay had been discussed before. “It was my understanding at that time that the delay would not affect the overall time lines and it won’t cost any more money,” Dennis said. According to the contract with Perry Engineering, the WSA could assess liquidated damages against the firm for not meeting the target date. “If the extension doesn’t affect the time lines, then I don’t see a reason to reject the request,” said WSA member Martin Woodard. Another member, James White, said that he had questions for the system’s engi neer, Hank Gerhart, of BuchartHom, Inc. “I am concerned that we would be setting a precedent if we approve the request, and then we’d have to let the other firm (Buckley-Lages) have an extension if they want one,” White said. Otis Stever, the project’s resident inspector, told the members that Buckley-Lages is close to being on schedule. “Two-fifths of the lines are down and, in eight months, the main line should be in,” said Stever. Wayne Cilimberg, executive director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning Commission in Culpeper, said that the delay has been discussed with both contractors and both understand the reasons for any extension the Authority might grant. “We don’t know whether the contract states that they’re allowed time started at their construction start date or when the contract was issued,” said Authority member Clifford Miller. “Since there’s that question and other questions, I think we should table the request.” The Authority voted to table the request until a special meeting on Sept. 16. The Authority will also hear a schedule report. A team of inspectors from the Environmental Protection Agency and the state will be studying the system to determine if work is on schedule from Sept. 1620. The Authority reviewed a list made by Gerhart ranking 11 properties not on the system’s plans in order of priority to be included on the plans. Points ranging from one to 10 were given in each category and totaled. The properties with the higher totals, ranked from one to seven, would be included on the plans at no cost to the owners or the Authority since seven extra septic tanks were figured into the plans. Gerhart recommended that the next two properties on the list be included on the plans using the Authority’s contingency fund. The last two property owners would not receive any assistance in their efforts to be on the system. Dennis said that the Authority would need to send at least a partial request list for properties to be included to the State Water Control Board as soon as possible. “The sooner we can get something to the State Water Control Board, the better,” Dennis said. The Authority approved the top seven on Gerhart’s recommendation list.

Teachers blast G/T High school teachers generally gave high ratings to their performances in the classroom and are complimentary of student behavior and attitude, but blasted the level of instruction available to gifted and talented students and more than 50 percent complained that no line of communication existed to the school board. While some 96 percent of responding teachers said the learning environment in their classroom was high, less than 60 percent said they were able to provide for individual Students. * And although two-thirds of the teachers said their students have access to a variety of necessary instructional materials, including nearly 95 percent who said the stu dents have complete access to the school’s library, teachers complained about their professional lives outside of the classroom. Nearly three-quarters of those responding said they have no hand in the planning or evaluating of the school system’s curriculum, and more than one-half said their lines of communication to the school board were blocked. Teachers were almost unanimous about a lack of instruction for gifted and talented students, where 87.5 percent called that available instruction “inappropriate.” —PAUL McFARLANE Next week: The reaction of the school administration.

Belatedly, two-thirds of those parents generally agree that their high school children who need help are not being offered the “non-traditional school programs” and 40 percent of the parents said those students identified as being gifted and talented are not getting “appropriate instruction.” Newly 40 percent of parents also perceive their children as being “inadequately prepared” for the job market or higher education after graduation. However, nearly 83 percent of parents said the school helps students “select and plan for a career.” A similar percentage also said the school offers vocational education “which provides marketable skills for students,” and the school “offers guidance in pursuing a career.” Additionally, a large percentage of parents said they believe secondary education is lacking in courses of worldly knowledge, including understanding the free enterprise system (26 percent) and learning to appreciate beauty and the arts (32 percent). Parents do believe, however, that their children are learning to improve their environment (72 percent) and 82 percent agree that the school develops “responsible citizenship.” ) However, when it comes to evaluating the high school building and Jgrounds, the school gets failing grades. ’ More than two-thirds of responding parents (68 percent) said the School building and grounds are “inadequate for the school program,” Although 84 percent said the school environment is “safe for children.” Parents also blasted the school’s food service. More than 58 percent of parents said their children complained about the food served in the high school, and a whopping 81 percent of par Shelter Continued from page 1 agreement among the county’s supervisors Monday, the site will be moved. Bruce was said to have changed his minH about placing the shelter on his property. Board Chairman Hubert Gilkey said “exactly the same” plans will be used at the new site as had been approved earlier. Students from the Piedmont Technical Education Center will be asked to construct the building, Gilkey said. The county must supply labor and materials to prepare the site for a building, he said. Gilkey added that he thought construction could begin as early as next week. ents said the school’s cafeteria failed to provide an “orderly and attractive setting for lunch.” Other points of parents’ emphasis highlighted by the survey include: — Three-quarters of the parents responding said students “get along well with others.” — Eighty-five percent said the high school teaches students to respect themselves. — Nearly one-third of parents said the school fails to involve the community in “developing and revising plans for school improvement. ” — ’early 80 percent of parents said tne school makes good use of volu' ei services by parents and citizen. — Nearly three-quarters of parents said the school has a suitable library and that students generally make good use of that library. — More than one-third of parents disagreed with the suggestion that the school creates a “favorable climate for learning.” — Nearly 80 percent agreed that students are encouraged to pursue special areas of interest. — Some 83 percent of parents agreed that there are enough books Building? • Paint • Lumber | • Millwork • Hardware Complete One-Step BUILDING SUPPLY Warrenton Building Material Co., Inc. on the By-Pass, Warrenton 347-1400 Rappahannock Realty H 675-3414 MSI Flint Hill 22627 Tired of Look-Alikes?

Call Linda Powles Staffing Co-ordinator 347-4770, ext. 253 Want more activities Rappahannock County senior ° and sophomores complain that their teachers fail to make the subject matter interesting. In fact, of the 71 seniors interviewed last year, slightly more than 60 percent said so. Of the 73 sophomores, just less than two-thirds concurred. However, a majority of the complaints of students seem to center on the school building, their social life and a lack of course variety. More than 60 percent of the seniors said the school lacks clubs and offers few activities, and slightly more than 60 percent said their course selection is too narrow. However, some 66 percent of the seniors complained that the toilet rooms were not “dean and usable throughout the day” in the 26-year-old school building. More than half of the sophomores, on the other hand, complained that too few course alternatives are offered and roughly the same percentage argued that there was a lack of dubs to join and activities in which to partic? >ate. Also, more than three-quarters of those 70 sophomores responding "LITTLE SWITZERLAND' WASHINGTON VA. area: Ml farm of 48 acres with 3 homes; chalet, old log and farmhome. Mt.

Strangely enough, those courses of action have sometimes ended in various degrees of disaster. The problem with this often begins with a failure to understand what faith really is. Last week we discussed the fact that faith must have an object, and that the nature of the object will determine the validity of the faith. For example, in order to obtain salvation a person must have a faith whose object is the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ. The people who embark on mistaken courses of action “by faith” ususally have erred either in mistaking a feeling for faith or in having faith in the wrong thing. A pastor “by faith” leads his people into a building program which they cannot afford. They get a loan, cannot make the payments, and lose even what they did have. What went wrong? Was it God’s fault? No, God does not fail to keep his promises. Therefore, the faith was not in a promise of God, but in some other object. Perhaps it was in a figment of the pastor’s imagination. Perhaps he wanted a new building so badly that he convinced himself that God wanted him to have it. A little godly wisdom would have been far more appropriate than a faith in something that God never promised. A young person becomes convinced that God is calling him or her to be a missionary in Europe (or anywhere else), gets training, goes off to the mission field—and fails. He or she may have gone “by faith”, but the faith was not in a promise from God. God gives his promises in the Bible, not in random thoughts that flash into our minds, nor in feelings that we get when considering various ideas, nor through pressure put on us by other people. ' It is not true that “all the promises in the book are mine.” Some of the promises in the Bible are to specific individuals and to no one else. Others are to certain groups of people and apply to an individual only if he is part of that group. Some promises are conditional (if you do this, then I will do that). If we would really walk by Christian faith, let us be sure that our actions are based on promises of God which are directed to us. And if the promises are conditional, let us be sure that we meet the conditions. Please feel free to contact us. You may write to the Sperryville Anabaptist Fellowship, P. O.
