The CCLC recently qualified for tax credits under the Neighborhood Assistance Act, a program that offers businesses the opportunity to declare credits for donations. The CCLC is the only licensed day-care facility in the county. In 1983, with the help of a foundation challenge grant, a building campaign was begun to move the school from its rented farmhouse. Construction on a new building has begun on U.S. 211 south of Washington. Since the program was started, some $219,000 has been raised for the construction of a new facility. The state-supported program expires at the end of 1985. More information about the program or to make donations may be obtained by calling the school at 675-3237. Nevili elected H.T.A.

In September, the WSA granted a completion date extension for plant construction to Perry Engineering. The completion date was extended from Oct. 12 to Dec. 16. The line construction’s interim dead line for Buckley-Lages, Inc. is also Dec. 16. Gerhart said he was concerned about both contractors, but Perry Engineering’s problems were more crucial. “The problem is with Perry’s sub-contractors that are responsible for the various jobs,” Gerhart said. “Perry is, of course, still responsible for the sub-contractors.” Gerhart said the WSA could assess liquidated damages against Perry Engineering if the company does not meet the Dec. 16 deadline or termination proceedings could be initiated. “I would not recommend terminating the contract at this point because that would push the schedule back even further,” Gerhart said. “The most important thing now is to get the job done.” ‘The most important thing now is to get the job done. ’ - Gerhart The WSA will invite officials from Perry Engineering and its bonding company to a special meeting on Nov. 26 to discuss the schedule problems. The WSA also decided to invite representatives from Buckley-Lages to a separate meeting on the same day. In other business, the WSA: — Discussed the quantity and type of septic tanks to order. Gerhart had advised the WSA in its Oct. 3 meeting that he could not wait past Nov. 1 to tell BuckleyLages how many tanks to order. Thursday night, Gerhart said he needed to have a number in a week to two weeks. The WSA could not decide on a number due to questions about shared tanks.

Rappahannock News photo/Greg Turner County ‘lucky,’ suffers $162,000 damage Heavy rains which soaked Rappahannock County last week are being blamed in the destruction of more than $162,000 of the county’s roads and personal property. A team from the Federal Emergency Management Agency inspected Rappahannock County last week to survey road and private property damage after the flooding brought about by six days of heavy rain. Col. Dieter Knuepfer, of the Rappahannock Emergency Services, reported that flooding caused an estimated $155,000 worth of damage to Rappahannock roads. An additional $7,700 worth of private property damage, including vehicles, fences and pastures, was also attributed to the flooding. “I doubt that we will receive any federal assistance because we didn’t have any real emergency and the extent of the damage is nothing when compared to the hardest hit counties,” said Knuepfer. “How aid will be decided hasn’t been determined yet, but we’ll probably be low on the totem pole because we were lucky.” Knuepfer said the $155,(XX) road damage estimate includes plans to blacktop Route 644 and parts of Routes 601, 603, 604 and 707. “They’re planning to blacktop those roads to prevent any more total wash outs like we had this time,” he said. Roads sustaining the most damage were the ones in the hollows like Routes 625 and 612. “Route 629 will practically have to be re-built,” Knuepfer said. “When you compare our damage to other places, though, we were very lucky,” he said. “We didn’t have any big gully washers because we had a nice, gradual build-up due to a steady rain. ” If the county does not meet standards for federal assistance, the state will be responsible for all road repairs. $38,000 bid accepted for RGHS repairs By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News staff writer A $38,000 bid by Shen Valley Roofing, Inc., of Bridgewater, for repairs to Rappahannock County High School’s roof was accepted by the School Board during its meeting Tuesday. The $38,000 total will be for repairs to the entire school roof, including the front, butterfly roof portion of the building where leaks caused concern during the recent rains. The board had budgeted $28,000 for roof repairs since a consultant had advised that the roof on the newer part of the building, or right side, would need repairs first. “We have that $28,000 to work with,” said Superintendent Robert Estabrook. “I don’t think we need to ask the Supervisors for more money at this point to make up the difference. We can wait and see how the budget is at the end of the year to de termine if we’ll need supplemental funding.” The roofing company had advised Estabrook that its workers could be on the high school job in two weeks. “I favor having all of the roof done at one time because we don’t know what kind of winter we’ll have, and we don’t want any chance of structural damage,” said Board Chairman Beverly Massie. “We started with a tight budget, but we’ll hope that we’ll find enough to cover the extra $10,000 needed. If not, we’ll ask for addition funds.” Massie had earlier read a letter to the board from Rappahannock Building Inspector Emiel Smet. Smet, who visited the high school on Nov. 6 after receiving a citizen's complaint about conditions at the school, wrote that he had not observed safety hazards due to the leaks. Smet specifically wrote that he could not “visually” detect any electrical wire in Please turn to page 18 . Neighbors challenge shelter site By PAUL McFARLANE Rappahannock New* staff writer A Scrabble landowner filed an appeal Tuesday of the issuance of the building permit to construct an animal shelter on county-owned land near the abandoned Scrabble School. The building permit was issued to the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors, which last week learned of the intent of neighboring landowners to protest the selection of that site. Mr. and Mrs. Clyde E. Dellinger, absentee landowners of property on Va. 626, decided to fight the board’s Sept. 9 decision to place a shelter at the school. The matter is expected to be considered by the county’s board of zoning appeals. The Dellingers, represented by Washington attorney David Konick, complained that surrounding property values will decrease a,s a result of the dog pound, that a shelter does not conform to applicable zoning restrictions, that an increase in traffic will reduce their enjoyment of their property and “the fact that the board Ynade this decision without any advance notice, public hearings or any other solicitation of, or opportunity for, input from the general public or adjacent landowners,” according to papers distributed to Supervisors. In addition, Konick argued that a precendent had been ignored by Supervisors. A public hearing was scheduled to discuss the proposed location of a landfill An animal shelter, Konick argued was similar in nature to a landfill and should be subject to the same procedures Please turn to page 18

Flood damage along James River less than anticipated By Staff and Wire Reports RICHMOND — After the James River receded rapidly into its banks, work crews Sunday removed debris and mud left by last week’s flood, and damage assessment teams fanning the flood plain found less devastation than anticipated. “The damage doesn’t appear to be as extensive as we feared,” said Ken Jones, city director of risk management. The State Office of Emergency Services has estimated the cost at $100 million. The James returned to normal Saturday, with water levels below flood stage. The water receded faster than anticipated. A damage assessment team was comprised of 57 members, who split up into seven areas to evaluate damage to buildings, equipment, public property and roads, as well as the estimated cleanup costs. Janet Clements, a spokeswoman for the emergency agency, has said she expects the damage to irival past floods and top $100 million in cost. Nearly $4 million worth of damage was caused in Gloucester and Middlesex counties by the storm, and officials in Mathews County were assessing damage to determine whether they will seek disaster status. Floods Hurt farms Most of Virginia’s crops had been harvested by the time heavy rains and flood waters ravaged the countryside last week, but agricultural officials said Friday that farms still incurred millions of dollars in damage. The officials were grateful, however, that the destructive rains came when they did. “Six weeks ago, we would have sustained astronomical agricultural damages in the state of Virginia due to this type of flooding,” said Lowell Gobble, Roanoke County extension agent. The hardest-hit commodity appeared to be com, which was still in the fields in several counties when high winds and pounding rain battered what wasn’t annihilated by swollen streams. Virginia Roundup Ned Conklin, Shenandoah County’s extension agent, said 735 acres of com in the county were destroyed by floods. The crop got hit harder in neighboring Rockingham County, where estimates show 1,000 acres of com ruined and nearly 2,000 acres with mtyor damage. GOP director ousted RICHMOND — The forced resignation of Sandy Scholte as political director of Virginia’s Republican Party does not stem from the party’s losses in Tuesday’s election, state GOP Chairman Donald W. Huffman said Saturday. “It’s a personnel matter, and I don’t think it should be discussed in the newspapers,” Mr. Huffman said. From his home in Roanoke, Mr.cHuffman said Mrs. Scholte’s resignation Friday came at his direction, but he declined any further comment. He also declined comment when asked whether anyone else in the state GOP’s hierarchy would resign. Mrs. Scholte could not be reached for comment. Don Edmonds, who replaced her as executive director last summer, simply said the resignation was an internal party matter. As political director, Mrs. Scholte headed the party’s efforts on behalf of Republican candidates for the House of Delegates in last week’s election. She had no role in the GOP campaigns for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general. College costs high CHARLOTTESVILLE — The chancellor of the state community college system says he’s more certain than ever that community college tuition, now about $900 a year for full-time students, is driving pupils away. The state Board for Community Colleges has indicated it will lobby for additional money to cut the tuition by as much as a third. “We are now close to pricing Mr. Jefferson’s ‘common people’ out of this system,” Chancellor Johnas F. Hockday told a meeting of community college officials Friday. “We have forced many of them to take fewer hours, thus cheating them of the opportunity of a complete education.” Literacy also was a major subject of the meeting, where community college leaders said a major threat to state prosperity may be that a third of Virginia’s adults are functional illiterates. Military secrets on line RICHMOND — A federal appeals court Friday upheld the dismissal of a libel suit against Penthouse Magazine, ruling that the alleged victim could not press his case without revealing military secrets. “Because there was simply no way this particular case could be tried without compromising sensitive military secrets, we conclude that the district court did not err in ruling that the case must be dismissed,” the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said. The suit involved a 1977 article in Penthouse that described the use of animals by the U.S. Navy and Central Intelligence Agency. Part of the article described scientist James W. Fitzgerald’s work with dolphins, and it alleged he tried to sell his classified research to other countries. Fitzgerald sued the magazine, claiming it had libelously charged him with espionage. Baliles starts command RICHMOND — Governor-elect Gerald L. Baliles on Friday began the process of taking over the government, a $52,000 project that includes cabinet appointments and moving into the governor’s mansion. Mr. Baliles announced that Sandra Bowen, the campaign’s director of operations, would head his transition team. Gov. Charles S. Robb said David K. McCloud, his chief of staff who handled the 1981 transition, would oversee the change of command for the outgoing administration. Gov. Robb gave his successor the transition notebooks, which include information on decisions that have to be made in the next two months, issues for the 1986 General Assembly and the governor’s budget. New governors enter office in even-numbered years, when the legislature handles the next two-year budget. PTAs oppose punishment VIRGINIA BEACH — Delegates to the annual convention of parent-teacher associations have taken a stand against corporal punishment in the state’s public schools. The Virginia Congress of Parents and Teachers, the state PTA umbrella group representing about 250,000 members, approved a resolution urging PTAs to lobby school systems to remove physical punishment from discipline policies. The resolution stopped short of seeking a change in state law, which now permits corporal punishment provided that school officials act in good faith and the punishment is not excessive. “Physical punishment can demoralize and humiliate children, causing then to develop low self-esteem, and possibly promote aggressive behavior . . .,” the resolution stated. Rappahannock News Photo/Jane Bangley LOCAL RESIDENT, Truman Keesey (r) met with Delegate Raymond “Andy” Guest in Brambles Cafe last week to lobby for the Rappahannock-Rapidan Advisory Council. Keesey said he discussed an $8.2 1/10 million need for senior services in the state. “The money would be used principally to support in-home services like respite care and community services like meals and transportation,” Keesey said. “We’re trying to get across the importance of caring for the elderly at home rather than waiting until a nursing home is the only alternative.” ASCS news By TOM TAYLOR ASCS The ASCS County Committee will hold the 1986 agricultural conservation program sign up from Nov. 13 to Dec. 13.

General District Court Leslie Christopher Smith was found guilty during Tuesday’s Gen, eral District Court of reckless driving after testimony by State Trooper H.A. Newlin. Trooper Newlin testified that he was driving towards Front Royal on Route 522 on Oct. 16 in an unmarked “enforcement” vehicle when he observed a motorcycle traveling at a high rate of speed in the opposite direction. “I turned around and caught sight of the vehicle again at the top of the mountain,” Trooper Newlin said. “My vehicle was up to 100 miles per hour, but he was still pulling away from me.” He said the motorcycle turned on to Route 665, and the driver attempted to go around a curve. “There was some gravel on the curve, and he hit it going too fast,” said Trooper Newlin. “He lost control and went off the road, through a grassy area and came back out on Route 522 where he stopped.” He said he did not think Smith ever saw the red, flashing lights in the grill of his vehicle until he had stopped. When Smith asked Trooper Newlin about the 100 mph speed, Trooper Newlin said there was no speeding charge because there was not time for a pace. “The reckless driving charge is not for speeding but for failing to negotiate a curve and running off the road,” Trooper Newlin said. Judge John Alexander found Smith guilty and fined him $50 in addition to $20 costs. Other cases decided Tuesday were: Norma F. Williams, brandishing a firearm, continued to Dec. 17.

Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation V___J THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14,1985 Editorials Time tinkerers Excerpted from the Richmond Times-Dispatch The national debt may be approaching $2 trillion, but never fear, Congress is again flexing its muscles by tinkering with the hands of time. A House-passed bill once again would change daylight savings time, this time giving the nation four additional weeks of it per year. How powerful Congressmen must feel when they decree “let there be light” for the surburban backyard chef, and, conversely, “let there be dark” for the farmers and ranchers who grow the fixings for the charcoal grill. It’s a wonder our august lawmakers don’t turn the clock back to, oh, 1948 when the nation ran a healthy $12 billion surplus. That would be a plainless way to balance the budget, a feat the tinkerers for all their clout seem unable or unwilling to accomplish. To show you Capitol Hill’s sense Of reality on DST, a Senate committee scheduled a hearing on the House bill Oct. 31 to demonstrate how an extra hour of light would benefit the trick-or-treaters. Really now, have these senators ever gone forth in search of Halloween treats, or have they been too busy pulling their own political tricks? ^ Every vampire and wicked witch knows that one does not begin haunting the Joneses’ doorstep until darkness casts its spell over the neighborhood. All DST would do is keep the little goblins out an hour later and make heads nod at school the next morning. The House bill would impose DST from the first Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October. The extra four weeks of “fast time” would, according to Rep. Edward J. Markey, D-Mass., the bill’s sponsor, save 100,000 barrels of oil per day, reduce traffic fatalities in evening rush hours, cut down violent crimes and help 400,000 Americans who suffer from night blindness. Sure. And it’d probably cure acne, bring peace on Earth, and win a Super Bowl for the New England Patriots. To be sure, there’s nothing sacrosanct about the current DST setup, particularly since Congress has so often fiddled with it. But there is a certain symmetry in an even six months of DST and six months of standard time. If the tinkerers succeed in grabbing four more weeks of the Morning People’s light, they can’t be trusted to stop there. Only two years ago, the House narrowly defeated a bill that would have begun DST the first Sunday of...not April, but March, when it would be mighty dark and chilly for children waiting for their morning school buses. The clock ain’t broke. Why fix it? —Rappahannock heritage Sheep graze peacefully in a field along Fodderstack Road. Rappahannock News photo/Greg Turner Letters to the editor Society for the Preservation of Me To the editor: Allow me, please, to introduce the formation of The Society for the Preservation of the Me, open to all who have reverence for our language and a respect for its proper useage. The accelerating slaughter of the Me has become so widespread that the (Population of this useful species has been decimated. Even now, one rarely sees or hears the once-common Me. In just a few short years, the Me population has dwindled to the point that the species no longer is able to propagate and perpetuate itself without outside aid. It is a monstrous irony that the principal perpetrators of this unconscionable deed are among the most visible and respected members of our society. These people never learned, or have forgotten, that the object of a preposition, as the grammar books put it when there were such books, must be in the accusative — as in “like me,” “to John and me” and “for Mary and me.” Unfamiliarity with the proper place of the Me in our langauge has led more and more people to fear and, thus, to kill the Me. Then, faced with a troublesome gap of their own making, they seek replacements. Some of the offenders fall back on the I — as in “to John and I,” and “for Mary and I” — forgetting that the I thrives only in the nominative environment, as it was known — as the subject of a verb or the complement of a form of the verb “to be.” Others resort to the Myself — as in “people like myself’ — forgetting that the myself is of the one reflexive family and can function only when it refers back to the subject of the verb — as in “I do it for myself’ and “he shot himself.” Thus, the fear of Me is making not only that irreplaceable creature an endangered species, but the I and the Myself as well. Many who love our language would impose penalities geared to the circumstances of each case. A politician who aspires to represent us in office should be expected to know and protect the langauge. He, thus, does inestimable damage to t hat language when he kills a Me in public. So does a talk-show moderator or a news show anchorman — or woman. These offenders would pay the heaviest penalities. Sportscasters, not being expected to know the language, would pay the lightest penalty. This approach ignores the cause of the problem and, therefore, would not save the Me from extinction. The cause of the wanton slaughter of the Me is a common disorder, ignorance. It can be treated only with education, a process in which the press could take a major role. The virus of ignorance, it should be remembered, attacks everyone, including myself. CHARLES M. PLATT Rock Mills Bus safety assailed To the editor: There are a lot of things in Rappahannock County that need improving, like the fact that the safety on school buses isn't too good.. I think the safety of the children is very important. It is one thing to be late for school because your bus would not start, but another, and I might add frustrating, that when you do get on the bus, it is freezing cold. Why? For one, some of the windows won’t go up because they get stuck, another is the heater only puts out enough heat for the first two seats. So do you think you would like to get up in the morning to do this? There is another thing to consider, the fact that every bus driver and child should wear a seat belt. Why? Because you would avoid more accidents that way, not the school bus itself, but the children riding it. What’s the first thing you are going to hit if the driver slams on his or her brakes? Answer, the metal bar that is on the seat in front of you. Not too good. What do you think? I know it would cost a lot of money, but when it comes to the safety of our children, I think it is worth it. KERRIE PEDERSON Castleton The no-grass World Series By EUGENE J. McCARTHY Rappahannock News contributing writer The World Series, just finished, was played not on grass, nor on turf — real or artificial — but on a real rug, made of real synthetic fibers. Turf, in any case, is not a word to be associated with baseball. Turf is more for horse racing, especially in England, and for football. The most “real” thing in the series was the rug. What was played upon it was and should have been called “artificial baseball,” a combination of three-cushion billiards, jai-a-lai and pinball. In the artificial game, bunts — or attempted bunts — turned into hard grounders and even into line drives. Ground balls that on grass would Please turn to page 10 Eugene J. McCarthy, author, poet and former U.S. Senator from Minnesota and former presidential candidate, now lives in the F.T. Valley near Slate Mills. off the cuff Paul McFarlane Lucas was bitter. And for no reason other than he felt like being bitter. But Lucas was like that, you know. He never needed a reason fc»* what he did. Whatever he did, he hated it. He hated his downtown apartment, his life, his looks and, most of all, Lucas hated me. The feeling was mutual. But we needed one another on this occasion. He had information and I had to know it. I’m a cop. I was assigned to case No. 5786 “dash” B: local break-ins. Seems there has been a rash of such burglaries when the weather threatened to lose its warmth. Lucas hated when the seasons changed. Well, for that matter, Lucas hated it when it got cold or when it got hot. Made no difference. Lucas simply hated weather. But from the window of his Main Street apartment, Lucas could see the entire scheme of nighttime street life. His street, as he liked to call it, saw life only after dark. He saw the neighborhood boys trolling for girls; the girls playing deaf and hard-to-get. Trenchcoat The young boys playing stickball one last time before the winter settled in also kept Lucas up nights; even the neighorhood cop wouldn’t silence the boys. I., fact, one night, gumshoe Barney O’Flaherty joined the boys for an inning or two. Whatever went on, Lucas saw it —he hated everything he saw, mind you, but he recorded it all. Nonetheless, Lucas had the view of the street and I had to know what Lucas saw. I was working on case No. 5786-B. I’m a cop. I tapped lightly on the front door of his apartment. I seemed like the exact moment my skinned knuckle hit the wooden door, I heard a thud, then a crash inside the apartment. The door unlocke 1, I walked in, gun drawn. Lucas was standing maybe 10 yards from the kitchen sink throwing a heavy meat cleaver against the unspackled wall. Broken dishes were strewn in the sink and about the floor, knocked from their perch by the impact of the heavy blade against the wall. The broken dishes might have been the tidiest feature of the dingy apartment. Scattered about the floor and on battered old tables were old radios, books, glass statuettes, concrete lawn decorations, one male mannequin (nude), one Negro jockey lantern-holder (dressed), toasters and an ' assortment of table lamps. Lucas had his attention devoted to a spider making its way up the wall. Lucas was relentless. “I hate spiders,” Lucas screamed as if the spider was walking up the wall for spite. “This lousy weather. Brings out these suckers, you know. I hate 'em. Look at ’em. They’re so ugly. I could kill them all.” Lucas often spoke in choppy sentences. Just then he heaved another blade at the creature, cutting it in two at a 45degree angle. “Ah,” I thought, “I’m dealing with a weather-hating, cleaver-heaver who miters spiders.” I made a mental note. I do that sometimes. I’m a cop. “Lucas,” I said, stuffing my service revolver in my shoulder holster. “What do you know about these rash of break-ins?” “You mean case No. 5786 dash B? Don’t know nothin’,” he snapped, walking across the room, tripping over the Negro jockey, knocking it to the floor in pieces. “Stupid thing,” Lucas whined. The lantern was destroyed. I got a strange sensation. It wasn’t the jockey’s broken arm in my sock but, rather, my observation that Lucas failed to recognize any of the clutter around him that had become a part of his life. And his apartment, too. I knew Lucas was a slob and that he hated that part of his life as well. I made a second mental note, I do that. I am — well, you know by now. Frustrated by the lack of cooperation offered by Lucas, I hit the street, seeking a second contact. I knew the one person who could help me on this case, the one person who could help me uncover the information I needed to solve this case. LuLu Lubowski. LuLu knew the street the way everyone knew LuLu: from the center line out. If there was something to be found on the street, LuLu would have heard about it by now. I met her under a street light, the fog rolling in with the early breeze. “Hello, LuLu,” I said, turning up the collar of my trenchcoat against the fog and mist. I lit two cigarettes simultaneously and offered one to LuLu. “Have a smoke, baby doll.” “Hello, cop,” she answered in a sexy, almost inviting voice. “I don’t smoke no more.” She was student of the street, all right. I smoked both cigarettes. I was also in a hurry to get to the bottom of the case. It was getting boring and I needed to make points with my captain. Besides, the night air was cold under this awful, dim street light. And my throat was getting dry from smoking two cigarettes. “Hey, toots, I need to know...” She knew immediately was I was after. “I know immediately what you’re after,” she said, pasting a sneering smile across her face, weather-beaten by the long nights on the street. I told her I just came from seeing Lucas and that he refused to talk. I saw a pattern developing in this case. “Things could go rough on Lucas,” I said. “Lucas hates you, you know,” she said, turning her face to the fog. “And I can’t help you, either.” “You mean you can’t, or you won’t? ” I suggested. , “Have it either way, keystone. I made a promise not to squeal,” she cooed. “And I intend to keep it. “Bisides,” she added, “I have to live on these streets.” That was true. She did live on the streets. “You’re asking for nothing but trouble,” I warned, choking on one of the cigarettes. “Hey, trouble is my middle name (that was true, too). But I’ll tell you what 111 do. I still owe you one. I can give you a clue to solve this case, and that will settle the score.” “Fair enough,” I said, getting over my cough. Just as I turned to get the clue, she was gone, vanished into the fog. She also vanished into the dark because the street light just went dark. “Clever dame,” I said in a muffled, smoke-covered voice, knowing full well that she had already given me the clue I needed. I arrested Lucas (who again told me he hated me) on three counts of B&E and larceny. I explained that LuLu intentionally knocked out the street light to remind me of my second mental note. I had already forgotten the first one. The broken street light symbolized the jockey who fell and smashed into pieces in the apartment the other day. I knew then Lucas was the guilty party. Just as I concluded that long and boring and not-terribly-rational explanation, a sponge rubber ball crashed through the apartment window to my left overlooking the street. ’ Barney O’Flaherty just blasted a shot off one of the neighborhood kids for a homer. But Barney missed second base and was called out on the appeal

George Bowles Post-election menu features crow The bottom-line truth of the matter is supremely uncomplicated. As things worked on Election Day, Lt. Gov.-elect L. Douglas Wilder had infinitely more faith in the good sense, objectivity and fair play of the people of Virginia than all the newspeople, pundits and analysts combined. And because he did, he made history. For more than a year many of these worthies — with this writer in the midst of them — kept assuring everyone who would pay attention that Wilder could not possibly win the election and was mad as a hatter to even try. Further, his candidacy itself was not only doomed, but his presence on the ticket would surely endanger the entire Democratic slate on Election Day. Ha! Then, having convinced ourselves that no black could yet win statewide office in Virginia, we assumed that Wilder, being a savvy politician, shared our erudite knowledge of the commonwealth and also knew that he could not win. Thus the question became one of what the wily Wilder was up to. Was he in the race to negotiate some quid pro quo for getting out of it? Would he settle for a judgeship, perhaps? Was his goal a high cabinet appointment? What was really on his mind? Wilder patiently responded to that question each time it was raised. What was really on his mind, he said, was winning the lieutenant governorship of Virginia. Seriously, fellows. No kidding. Even as Wilder set out upon one of the most innovative and determined campaigns in the history of the state, the doubts persisted. Some, with considerable justification, called his strategy for winning the lieutenant governorship brilliant even before the polls in the closing weeks began to indicate the unthinkable — that he might conceivably win. That possibility seemed unthinkable because, in spite of Wilder’s unquestioned credentials for the office, it appeared beyond belief that conservative Virginia would elect a black person to the second highest post in the commonwealth. Yet on election night, Wilder rolled up an impressive victory of 52 to 48 percent over GOP state Sen. John H. Chichester of Stafford. The victory stunned the already reeling Republican Party which had just seen its candidates for governor and attorney general go down in crushing defeats. Yet Wilder’s victory was only slightly more remarkable than another historic first on that election night. Democratic Del. Mary Sue Terry of Patrick became the first woman to win statewide office in Virginia by scoring a landslide triumph over GOP Del. W. R. “Buster” O’Brien of Virginia Beach. While early on a number of skeptics had questions about her electability, when the count was in she had polled more votes than any other candidate, including Democratic gubernatorial winner Gerald L. Baliles. The victories of Wilder and Terry can only be considered watershed events of the first order in the history of the commonwealth. The reasons for the stunning Democratic sweep must await a later discussion, but some of its results are already fairly clear. Two important precedents have been set. Wilder and Terry have proved that a black or a woman who campaigns within the mainstream of Virginia’s moderate to conservative political thought can be elected. They have proved that the electorate will no longer buy the Hallowe’en antics of the Republicans and independent conservatives who were convinced that if they howled the word “liberal” often enough and chanted the names of McGovern, Mondale, Carter and Howell loud Special committee to meet ' The Special Education Advisory Committee for the Rappahannock County Public Schools will meet on Nov. 26, 1985 at 7 p.m. ; The meeting will be held at the school board office. The purpose of the meeting is to provide input in developing the 1985-86 update of the Special Education Six-Year Plan. The plan includes policies and procedures concerning special education and related services in the school division. Any citizen with questions and/or recommendations about special education and related services in Rappahannock County should contact Pamela M. Rowe at the school board office (987-8773) by Dec. 16. All Special Education Advisory Committee meetings are open to the public. enough, the voters of the Old Dominion, like so many docile sheep, would accept the GOP charge that the Democratic ticket was guilty of liberalism by association and should therefore be cast into outer darkness. Somehow the Democrats never noted the fact that the GOP ticket was similarly connected, by way of party association, with Richard Nixon, Spiro Agnew and an impressive roster of certifiable felons and other malfeasants who have not exactly ornamented Republican administrations over the last 15 years. In any event, the Republicans should have learned, primarily from their Wilder experience, that liberalism has suffered a severe devaluation as a cry of political witchery in the state. And because it has, the influence of the famed Independent Conservative Coalition, or “Main Street Money Boys,” has suffered an equally grievous blow. One is always leery of writing a final obituary for the remnants of the old Byrd Organization. But the influence of former Gov. Mills E. Godwin Jr., Harry F. Byrd Jr., former Del. Roy Smith, Smith Ferebee and other veterans of the Byrd “massive resistance” days can only be considered moribund. Their inability to prevent a black from being elected lieutenant governor of Virginia is a bitter and ironic commentary on the sorry state into which the good old boy network has fallen. This might be the most immediate legacy of the Wilder victory. Already the Republicans are said to be sharpening their longkfiives to rid the party of its ruling ./“Main Street” clique which they see as responsible for last week’s electoral disaster. And for those of us who said — and said —and said — he couldn’t do it, Wilder’s victory has also taught us something very important. It is the fact that eating lean and humble crow, complete with feathers, can be a vastly character building experience if done in the right spirit. And it is in this spirit that this writer says, with feathers on his face', congratulations to Lt. Gov.elect Wilder as well as the rest of the Democratic team. You have made the pages of history turn.

My wife had said, "The keys are on the table," and we both were thinking of the car keys. I have that abominable habit of laying them down wherever I put my gloves — and I’m always losing my gloves. But when I saw the keys, I saw the Bible, too. We always keep it there even though we seldom read it. The keys are on the table." I am just enough of a philosopher to see the chance implication of those words. The keys to a great many things must lie within the covers of that Book. Perhaps the keys to all of the really important things for you, and for me, and for everyone else. We ve been searching far and wide for the keys to peace, and security and fairness, and brotherhood.

Plan to retirement Washington residents who are thinking about retiring at the end of the year should start making some serious plans now, Bruce A. Hundley, Social Security manager in Culpeper, said recently. Those plans should include Social Security, Hundley said. There are a number of things a person should consider. First, a person under age 65 considering retirement should remember that his or her Social Security benefit will be permanently reduced if he takes benefits before age 65. The amount of the reduction depends on the number of months he takes benefits before age 65. The reduction amounts to 20 percent at age 62 and is reduced only for each individual month he takes it prior to age 65. Other factors can influence a person’s decision to retire, Hundley said. Availability of a company pension could be a factor. So could a person’s ability to continue working. At any rate, a person should contact Social Security two or three months before reaching 65 to ar range Medicare health insurance protection even if there are no plans for retirement. A person should have certain information ready when applying, like his or her Social Security number and proof of his or her date df birth. An official record of birth recorded before age five is best, but other records* can be used if this is not in existence. Forms W-2 (wage and tax statement) or self employment tax returns for the last two years should be available. These are needed so that all of a person’s earnings can be considered in figuring benefits. A husband or wife who is also applying should have the same documents. Do not delay applying if all of this evidence is not available. Call the Social Security office. The people there can tell you what other evidence can be used. A free leaflet, “Thinking About Retiring?,” is available at the Culpeper Social Security office located at 806 N. Main Street. The telephone number is 825-3500. When You Want Fast Action...

Thanksgiving turkey talk By BETH STOUT Rappahannock News contributing writer In 14 days, Rappahannock County residents will be celebrating Thanksgiving. Recent Extension publications have included valuable information about one of Thanksgiving’s main entrees — the turkey. Two articles, “Turkey — Anyone?” and “Mr. Turkey for the Holiday Season,” contain particularly useful information regarding the purchasing and care of the tin key. They are reprinted below. For further information on how to buy, store, thaw, stuff or prepare your holiday bird, call the local Extension Office at 675-3619. Look in next week’s edition of the Rappahannock News for creative uses of leftover turkey. Until then, gobble, gobble. Mr. Turkey for the holiday season By Dr. R.L. Wesley Extension Food Scientist Poultry Processing While roast turkey is eaten year round by most Americans, the holiday season still remains the traditional time that we enjoy the most. Turkey is one of the fine foods that originated in America, and remains one of the most economical foods with the very best nutritive value of any of the meats. Like any other fine food, the consumer must handle turkey in a manner that will keep it wholesome until it is consumed. Turkeys come to the supermarket in a most sanitary condition — more hygienically free of contaminants and spoilage organisms than any consumer could possibly make them. Modem processing technology makes it possible for the processor to almost automatically process a live bird practically without the human hand ever touching the carcass. Immediately after the bird is processed, it is water chilled to about 45 degrees, packaged and sold fresh or frozen to be sold later. Consumers should either consume a whole fresh carcass within four to five days after purchase, or freeze it for later use. Frozen turkeys last at least 12 months when stored at 15 degrees or lower. Turkeys that are held in home refrigerators should be kept in their original package for no more than five days, at 38 degrees or less. Fresh carcasses should be cooked while shrouded with aluminum foil at 350 degrees until the internal temperature reaches 170 degrees. Once cooked, leftover turkey can either be kept at 38 degrees or less for about seven to 10 days, or frozen for up to 12 months at 15 degrees or less. Consumers should always be careful that meats, including turkey, do not contaminate other foods that are being prepared at the same time. Food poisoning organisms are usually found on all meats and care should be taken to make sure that counter surfaces, knives and cutting board surfaces are completely cleaned before other foods come into contact with them. Poultry and other meats are packaged in films that are designed to retard spoilage, but the key to keeping meat wholesome, is refrigeration. Bacteria will double their numbers in 15 minutes at room temperature, while regeneration may take four to 24 hours under refrigeration. Frozen meats will not have increases in bacterial populates. Actually some bacteria will be killed during freezing. Please enjoy your holiday season turkey — and remember to keep it refrigerated or frozen. Turkey — Anyone? Thanksgiving is almost here, so do not forget the Virginia flavor when it comes to the turkey you will put on the table. The state produces approximately 11 1/2 million turkeys annually, ranking it sixth in the nation in production. Turkey is a flavorful, convenient and versatile meat gaining popularity every year. In Virginia, production is up since 1984 and this increase may be due to the varied appeal turkey offers consumers, such as: various fresh turkey parts and products come in meal-sized packages for fast preparation; preinserted timers in roasts eliminate cooking errors; most fat is easily removed with skin, delicate natural flavor blends well with spices, seasonings or sauces for a variety of new and traditional recipes and today’s heightened awareness of health. If you will be purchasing a whole fresh or frozen turkey, look for Virginia producers such as Valley Star, Longacre Brand, Marval of Virginia or Golden Acre. Following are a few turkey tips taken from Virginia Turkey to assist you: 1. Buy the right size turkey: When turkeys are under 12 pounds, allow 3/4 to one pound per serving (ready to cook weight). When buying medium or heavy birds, 12 pounds and over, allow 1/2 to 3/4 lb. per serving. 2. Thaw turkey slowly: Leave bird in its original wrap. Place on a tray in the refrigerator. Allow one to three days for thawing. 3. Test for doneness: Turkey is cooked when thickest part of drumstick feels very soft when pressed between protected fingers. When using a meat thermometer, it should register approximately 180-185 degrees F. 4. Care properly for cooked turkey: Cool stuffing, meat and any gravy promptly. Refrigerate, each wrapped separately and tightly, at 35 degrees to 38 degrees F. Use gravy and stuffing within one or two days, and then heat thoroughly before serving. Serve cooked turkey meat within two to three days after roasting. Cooked turkey, properly wrapped, may be stored in the freezer for later use. Never freeze an uncooked, stuffed turkey or a roast stuffed turkey! . If a whole turkey is too much for your family, consider purchasing a turkey breast. They are available whole, halved or quartered. For smaller portions, your butcher may cut fresh or frozen whole breasts into halves, quarters, steaks or cutlets. They can also be cut into cubes for steaks and kabobs. A whole breast usually averages four to seven pounds each. For smaller turkey appetites, two pound turkey pan roasts are available. They are all—white, all— dark, or combination white and dark skinless meat. This seasoned loaf is found only in the frozen meat case 1 A TRUCK THAT RIDES LIKE A CAR I • 5-Speed transmission • Double wall construction • Steel belted radials • Tinted glass • Carpet • Roomier cab • More visibility ALL STANDARD BASE SHORTBED> Coma in toon for a test driva i MM Cl INaUOM FMIOHT A MHT.

Last but not least, if your Thanksgiving Day will be used for traveling or working, consider purchasing turkey deli products for a nutritious meal on the run. Look for turkey products such as bolgna, salami, ham, pastrami or a turkey roll. Let your imagination help create the menu and have a Virginia Turkey Day. Christmas at Oatlands Oatlands Plantation, the National Trust property located near Leesburg in Virginia, will again present “Christmas At Oatlands” from November 9 through December 15.

Wakefield school to hold elections By HELEN RUISI Rappahannock News contributing writer Wakefield School in Huntly will hold elections this week for the president of the student body as well as > vice-president, secretary, and treasurer. In a special assembly that was held so that the student body could hear campaign speeches from the three groups of candidates, Headmaster William E. Lynne said that the person elected to be president of the student body would be a symbol of the students and as such should be someone responsible and of whom the students were proud. Lynn added that one purpose of student government was to teach the workings of democracy and to teach the students how to make democracy work for them. Three slates of candidates presented themselves to the student body. The first candidate to speak was Sean Dolan of Warrenton who is running for the office of president. Included on his ticket are Ann Waesche, of Gainesville, for vicepresident, Lisa Johnson, of Delaplane, for treasurer, and Lori Paluck of Warrenton as secretary. In his speech Dolan stressed that as president he would help students to understand the workings of the Student Government system at Wakefield and to get involved. He added, “I am going to listen...you will not be kept separate.” Lee Poore, of Washington, was the second to speak. His running mates are Cameron Bishopp, of Warrenton, as vice-president, Vale BflCClI.

In his speech, Poore expressed his appreciation to the school saying, “Much has been given us.” He went on to say that justice and generosity were the most important qualities a student could possess and that he would, “wage a war of strength and trust.” The last speech for president was delivered by Larry Tarr, of Warrenton. John Landis, of Front Royal, is his vice-presidential choice joined by candidates Molly Dunning, of Boyce, and Nancy Massie, of Flint Hill, who are running for the offices of treasurer and secretary respectively. Tarr commented that it was an honor for him to be nominated by his fellow students. He added that he has observed the school’s growth for six years and thus understood the needs of the students. Tarr said that he could relate to the needs of the students at all levels so that all ages would be fairly represented and that he would be able to convey the concerns of the students to the school’s administration. The elections, although modeled after the United State’s system, will be “one man, one vote.” In the past years, the students voted as the Electoral College does, but in recent years changed the school’s constitution as the students felt that the “one man, one vote” system more suited their needs.

Panthers’ first tournament game win The one thing Rappahannock High girls varsity basketball players never have to admit is having been denied a postseason victory. Last week, Rappahannock defeated Brentsville in the preliminary round of the Bull Run District Tournament to break that unenviable streak. It was the first tournament game win ever for this generation of* basketball players. However, the winning streak was short-lived. The Panthers fell to tournament-champion Clarke County, 66-41, in the semifinal round Thursday. Clarke routed George Mason in the tournament finals on Saturday and is the Region B top seed in that tournament which began this week. George Mason, the district tournament’s third seed. also advances to the Region B tournament as district runner-up. George Mason surprised No. 2 seed Strasburg in the semifinals. For Rappahannock, the win over Brentsville was the second in seven days. Rappahannock defeated the Tigers in Sperryville in the final regular season game. That win, coupled with a Page County loss on the final night of the season, placed Rappahannock in fifth place in the final standings. Clarke County won the regular season championship, Strasburg was second, George Mason third and Brentsville fourth. Rappahannock finished the year with a 6-8 regular-season mark and a 9-11 overall record. “I was pleased with the season,” Rapp girls 8th, boys 13 th at state meet The Rappahannock County High School girls’ team finished eighth in the Group A cross country championships Saturday, while the boys placed 13th. The meet was run at the Piedmont Community College near Charlottesville. For the girls, the top three runners stayed in a pack. Karen Ludwick placed 27th, covering the 5,000-meter course in 24:20, some three minutes off the winning pace. Bonnie Grimsley was the second Rappahannock runner to finish, placing 35th in 25:51.5. Kathy Dodson was 41st in 26:17.3. Denise Eidson was 51st in 27:30.7 and Heather Blevins 70th in 28:59.4. Kelly Brown finished 78th in 30:28.3. As a team, the Rappahannock girls placed eighth in the field of 14 with 200 points. Stonewall Jackson and Strasburg, Bull Run District members, took the top two spots with 69 and 82 points respectively. Rappahannock was fourth among Bull Run schools that placed five runners. For the boys, Rappahannock placed 13th in the field of 22 finishers. Marley Hay was the first Panther to cross the finish line, running the course in 19:22.1, good enough for 43rd place. Neil Burke ran a 19:39.1 for 53rd place, Jonathan Watson ran a 19:58.9 for 64th place, i John Dodson ran a 21:01.7 to finish 104th and Tony Clark ran a 21:04.3 to place 107th. Also, Todd Williams ran a 22:09.5 to finish 127th. The team from Wilson Memorial placed first in the standings with 74 points. Stonewall Jackson was second with 83 and Strasburg third with 128. In 13th place, Rappahannock totalled 347 points. said first-year coach Joel Voorhees. The coach said he was pleased that the team won the final game to lift it higher in the standings, then was pleased that it overcame a “very cold” start in the first game of the preliminary round of the tournament. It was the first Panther win over Brentsville in 1985. But Clarke County “was just the better team” in the semifinals, Voorhees said. The Eagles lose just one senior for next season “so they’ll be beating up on us again the next couple years,” Voorhees said. Rappahannock lost to the district’s best team by margins of 22, 19 and 26 points during the course of the 1986 campaign. Rappahannock, meanwhile, loses two key seniors. Karen Jordan, who completed her high school career with a 30point effort against Clarke County, became the most prolific scorer in the school’s history with 1,374 points. She surpassed the school’s only other 1,000-point scorer, Mike Leake. Jordan averaged 23.8 points per night in the team’s 20 games. Jordan was named to the Bull Run District’s first-team. Also completing her eligibility is Natalie Butler who averaged 10.2 points per game this year. Of the remaining players, Voorhees said, “I believe some of the girls need to go to camp. There’s some talent there that needs some spice.” Also, the coach said he plans to work with some of the girls after the boys’ season is completed. Voorhees also coaches the RCHS boys’ team.

Blows that might have been doubles or triples on grass were played on the rebound or carom into singles. Batters who could hit a high-bounce ground ball, preferably over the pitcher’s head, prevailed over those who hit what in former days would have been described as a “grasscutter.” Both teams, St. Louis and Kansas City, fielded teams that had been chosen and trained to play the rug game. Batters who could hit ground balls or short line drives were chosen over those who could hit fly balls. Preferred pitchers were those who could get batters to hit fly balls. Outfielders, it appeared, were chosen not because they could hit the long ball, but because they were fast on foot, able to run down balls rolling about the infield. Infielders needed little lateral movement since about the only ground balls they were able to field were those hit straight at them, or that they eould reach with a third baseman-type leap, lunge or grab. Steve Balboni, the Royals’ first baseman, was the one exception. He looked and acted like a first baseman and was expected to hit the long ball. He hit nothing but singles in the Series. If Balboni was excluded, and*the teams had worn each other’s uniforms, it would have been hard to distinquish which team was which. Even Geofge Brett, without the plug of tobacco in his cheek might have passed for the Cardinal’s Tommy Kerr. Batters in the batting order seemed to have been chosen almost at random. The only hitter on either team who was treated by opposing pitchers and managers was George Brett. Others might have been dealt with by the book, played or substituted for, according to the record of how they batted against left- or right-handed pitchers. Even more subtly, since it *eemed that most of the players on either team were switch-hitters, by the marginal difference in batting averages achieved when batting from one side of the plate as against that achieved batting from the other side. Other, more refined, statistical data was presented by the television commentators, such as the batting average with men on the bases, or in late innings, or early innings, etc. About 90 percent of each game looked like 90 percent of every other game in the Series. The greater part of each game looked like a replay of previous games. The most significant hits were singles. The best and worst fielding plays were made on pop fouls — Brett catching one, and Jack Clark, the Cardinal’s first baseman, a converted outfielder, failing to catch one. Interspersed among the repetitious innings and games were special public service bulletins and messages from organized baseball extolling the virtues of family life, and declaring that Major League Baseball was a family. Pete Rose spoke to this point. Tom Seaver also spoke of the rewards of age and perseverance. Willie Wilson, who played on one of the teams in the series, warned against drugs. The virtues of Lite Beer were extolled in commercials, and public display of the popularity of bubble gum among baseball players demonstrated. Losing by a run or two along the way through the Series did not seem to distress players on either team. Only when the margin of defeat in the final game grew towards 11 runs were emotions stirred to the point of overt action. Whitey Herzog, the Cardinals’ manager, was moved to leave the dugout to accost the umpire on behalf of pitcher Joaquin Andujar, who seemed to think he had gotten bad calls on two successive pitches. Whitey should have accosted the umpire on a truly bad call he made on a play at first base, on the previous day, when his team lost by r one run. It was a play so bad that Peter (The Careful) Ueberroth, Commissioner of Baseball, allowed on the Phil Donohue Show a week after the series ended, that the umpire had been wrong. Whitey was thrown out of the game, as was Andqjar, whoplso, by order of Commissioner Ueberroth, will not be allowed to play during the first 10 days of next year’s major league season. There were two reports of emotion-stirred actions, both officially deplored. One was that of John Tudor, the St. Louis pitcher, the losing pitcher of record, was reported to have cut his finger while striking a fan (an electric one) in his distress, injuring his pitching hand. The other incident was a report that someone had broken up a washbowl and toilet seat in the Cardinal locker room after the postgame depression. The cost of the vandalism was declared to be $1,500, IEATHERCOAT Game Festival Mem A Sample Menu From Our Formal Dining Room Featured Nov. 29 - Dec. 1 Appetizers Smoked Seafood Plate wirh Smoked Salmon, Smoked Scallops, Smoked Mussels, and peppered Smoked Mackeral Served with a Dill Dressing and Tomato Basil Salad Rabbit and Game Terrine Served with a Mustard Horseradish Sauce and Olive Relish Second Course Grilled Fresh North Carolina Quail with Champagne, Tarragon and Black Grapes Fresh Handmade Tortellini Stuffed with Preserved Duck and Garlic Served with a Merlot Sauce and Garnished with Asparagus Tips Entrees Sauteed Wild Boar Loin Medallions Served with Red Pepper Sauce and Roasted Mixed Peppers Venison Loin Served with Tangerine Brandy, Green Peppercorns and Roasted Chestnuts Entrees include potato, pasta, or rice.

Duvall will add own touch .to Chipmunk Hollow By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock New* *tatt writer Joyce Duvall has been a regular customer at Chipr k Holloa for years. As an interior .. .orator, she used the Sperryville shop to find special decorative touches for her clients. In August, Joyce took a giant leap from customer to owner when she bought Chipmunk Hollow from Howard Maree and John Norberg. They had owned and operated the shop for five years. Besides buying the shop, Joyce bought all of the inventory, so there will not be any major changes in Chipmunk Hollow’s look. “We will still have the ‘country’ things because I like them and they are popular,” Joyce said. “I will begin adding other things that I like including pictures that aren’t necessarily ‘country’ looking. I will keep most of it as is, though, and we’ll continue the items that are exclusive to Chipmunk Hollow.” Joyce plans to be in the shop most of the time, but she does operate her interior decorating business in Woodbridge on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Her only employee, Jane Allen, keeps the shop open on those days. “I’ll continue the interior decorating for a while, but I’m hoping to incorporate it into the business here and offer interior decorating to the community,” Joyce said. “It has been a lot of work getting things straightened out, and then our well flooded during the recent rains and we had to have a new pump, but I was pleased with the number of customers in the latter part of last week.” She said she has also been surprised by the number of local people who have stopped into the shop to welcome her to the community. “I guess in bigger places people get so busy that they forget to do nice things like that, but I’ve really appreciated the opportunity to meet the people here,” Joyce said. In a further effort to meet as many people as possible, Joyce plans to have an open house at the shop from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Nov. 29. “It’s just going to be a good fellowship time with hot cider and other goodies,” she said. Although arranging the shop while maintaining her decorating business has kept her busy enough, Joyce also has a new home to think about. She and her husband, Dr. William Duvall, a veterinarian in Woodbridge, have decided to build a home near Huntly. The home will be built on a farm that has been in Dr. Duvall’s family since its English charter. “I must admit that I haven’t been able to think about it very much lately, but we’re excited about the move,” Joyce said. “Everything should be completed in the spring.” Until then, Joyce will continue to commute from Woodbridge to the shop on Route 211 where her main occupation now is readying Chipmunk Hollow for Christmas. “I’m one of those people who run out on Christmas Eve to do shopping, so I’ve been surprised by the number of customers in doing their Christmas shopping,” Joyce said. “I’m hoping the open house and all of the decorations will help me get in the Christmas spirit a little earlier.” Joyce Duvall ROAD REPAIRS WERE NEEDED on Va. 643 on the way to o5r£ Weather clears as storm passes This week was quite the opposite story from what Rappahannock County residents endured during the first part of this month. Since 0.27 inches of rain fell on Election Day, no rainfall has been recorded by Sperryville Weather Watcher Dennis Wingfield. That shutdown of Mother Nature’s faucets represent a marked contrast to that since the first day of the month, when 11.11 inches fell. That’s believed to be a record. The rainfall totals are the heaviest for any one stretch “since I’ve been keeping records, and that’s been 20 years,” Wingfield said. The stormy weather of last week also forced the closing of school and is blamed for some $162,000 in dam age created by the subsequent flooding throughout the county. The six-day period of the latest storm, combined with an October rainfall of some 6.7 inches, dumped more rain on this area than had been recorded in the first six months of the year. The rain began Oct. 31 when 0.21 fell. Nov. 1. brought 2.61 inches of rain, but the county was hardest hit by the storm on Sunday when Wingfield recorded 4.04 inches of rain. The storm blew in off the Atlantic Ocean and was pushed by westerly and northwesterly winds, soaking the Mid-Atlantic States during the weekend before Election Day. But since the last drop fell Nov. 5, Wingfield recorded no rainfall, providing clean-up operations the chance to go to work. Although no rain was recorded in Sperryville, there were reports of light rain falling in other parts of the county on Tuesday morning. The storm was a stark contrast to the summer months, and even to the early portion of October. Up until Oct. 19, Wingfield reported a 55-day rainfall of only 0.14 inches. But in the next three days, that total was easily surpassed. Wingfield recorded 2.05 inches of rain Oct. 20, the day of the house tour and Sperryville Apple Harvest Celebration, another 1.08 inches on Oct. 21 and 1.81 inches more on Oct. 22.

Former ambassador practices local diplomacy By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock Ntwi special writer “We spent a great deal more time in shirt sleeves than in dinner jackets,” said Charles Whitehouse, who was recently reelected this month as board chairman of the Piedmont Environmental Council (PEC). Ambassador Whitehouse was referring to his 30 years of foreign service, which included such "shirtsleeve” posts as Guinea, Vietnam, Laos and Thailand. But Whitehouse’s remarks could also describe his service to PEC, the nine-county rural conservation organization. Whitehouse’s first year as board chairman has been a very active one, drawing upon some of the veteran diplomat’s professional skills. Controversy surrounding how best to conserve the beauty and peace of his Piedmont home may seem rather tame after Whitehouse’s assignments in the most troubled and dangerous spots in recent history: Deputy ambassador to Vietnam; ambassador to Laos; ambassador to fessional guidance to communities with questions.” Helping PEC meet this challenge has required Whitehouse’s best diplomatic skills, still sharp after several years of retirement. He has been a convincing spokesman, stressing a practical approach to the problems facing Virginia’s Piedmont. “I think our success is due to a hard-boiled, realistic understanding,” he said. “People don’t expect PEC to embark on frivolous campaigns. And we’ve gained respect locally just because Bob (Bob Dennis, PEC president) and the staff are so dam good.” Whitehouse is not burdened with the romantic image of farming that characterizes some Piedmont retirees. “I’ve managed a farm,” he said. “It’s difficult for people in urban communities to understand how desperately hard farmers work, and how much they risk. We might all want a pastoral landscape on one hand: On the other, we can’t expect *1 think our success is due to a hard-boiled, realistic understanding. ‘People don’t expect PEC to embark on frivolous campaigns. And we’ve gained respect locally. -Whitehouse Thailand and domestic positions specializing in east Asian affairs in the early and mid-70s. Whitehouse won many distinguished and superior honor awards for these difficult posts, obviously spending very little time in a dinner jacket. The ambassador graciously dismisses the courage and ability demanded by his service. “It certainly wasn’t like serving in a European embassy,” he said. Although his retirement position with PEC is much safer, he is once again in the position of trying to get opposing sides of an issue to see each Other’s point of view. “We have tried our hardest to dispel the image of conservationists as wealthy, large landowners,” Whitehouse said. “Our concerns are the concerns of citizens in every income group.” The former ambassador sees the question of rural conservation as a constant balancing act between “the rights of the individual to do what he wants and the rights of the immediate community. “Most of our communities have workable plans, he explained. “What we need to do — what we have done — is to provide intelligent and pro__ 1 ‘We have tried our hardest to dispel the image of conservationists as wealthy, large landowners.

These were efforts vitally important for the survival of little war-torn countries. ” The ambassador is convinced that willingness to adapt and to try new solutions will also be necessary for the survival of agriculture in PEC’s area, which includes Loudoun, Albemarle, Orange, Clarke, Greene, Fauquier, Culpeper and Madison counties as well as Rappahannock. “Many of our landowners who have suffered from the governmental, economic and natural disasters that affect farming so brutally have looked toward using their proximity to urban areas to their advantage. There are plenty of city dwellers who love to come out here, use our streams and rivers, climb our beautiful hills and ride on our trails. We have private trout farms, riding stables, bed-and-breakfasts and pickyour-own enterprises, all adding to the dwindling profits our farmers make on their meat, grain and orchard crops. “And then, the city-dwellers go home,” Whitehouse added, “leaving no burden on our roads, schools or utilities. This is in contrast to the large-scale influx of industry that stresses all these systems. If I could make only one point on PEC’s behalf, it would be this: unplanned, thoughtless development is a tax disaster, not a tax benefit.” Whitehouse admits that problems of Piedmont conservation were not foremost in his thoughts before his retirement, although he’s owned a house near Rectortown for 25 years. “I must say we were terribly preoccupied with explosive situations abroad,” he said. “But in those three decades tremendous changes were taking place in the Piedmont and in America, changes perhaps more obvious to one who was coming and going. My God, the Cuyahoga River was actually on fire! People were waking up and realizing that something had to be done. I felt very strongly that I should do something for this area after spending most of my adult life overseas.” Charles S. Whitehouse HAY & EQUIPMENT MONTHLY AUCTION • -11:00 A.M.

You should have business, you should have open space, you should have commercial development, all sharply defined and grouped. Communities, for the most part, have the plans for this goal, but they need to find a solution to the special exception problem.” tions in Loudoun, Fauquier and Albemarle counties. And PEC’s work is made a great deal easier by the type of people who live in this region, Whitehouse speculates. “Of course, not everyone agrees on every issue. But by and large, our population here is made up of people who were born here and have remained in spite of decreasing economic benefits in many cases; and people who have come here because they chose it. Both groups are here because they love it the way it is.” And he can be counted among ‘Unplanned, thoughtless development is a tax disaster, not a tax benefit. -Whitehouse Whitehouse adds that there are problems that are not only aesthetic, but actually life-threatening: “Clean air and water — these are basic issues and ones that PEC was intensely concerned with during the uranium mining controversy.” Whitehouse would like to see a full-time PEC staff person in each community, backed by the professional staff in Warrenton. There are presently full or part-time staff j >osi - those with a great affection for the Virginia Piedmont, Whitehouse said. “It’s a unique area, extending as it does from Charlottesville, where the genius of Jefferson is so very evident, through the rural lands and villages and right up to the edge of the Blue Ridge. There’s nowhere like it anywhere else.

The Rappahannock News Classifieds Owls take soccer title By HELEN RUISI Rappahannock News contributing writer In the closing week of Wakefield’s varsity soccer season, the team has won the annual Delaney Athletic Conference Tournament for the second consecutive year to gain both the season and tournament championships. Wakefield entered the tournament as the top-seed, having collected a 7-0 conference record in the season. In their first game, Wakefield played 5th seeded Emmanuel Christian School. Wakefield quickly jumped to an early lead with several goals en route to a 7-2 halftime lead. In the second half, Wakefield continued its scoring behind three goals from Marc Foerstemann, of Huntly, as they cruised to an 11-2 victory. In the championship game, Wakefield met the second seed Seton School. Contrary to the result of the first game, the first half was a defensive struggle. However, late in the half Foerstemann gave Wakefield a 1-0 lead which they carried into halftime. In the second half, Wakefield’s offense came alive with four straight goals. Despite a late goal from Seton, Wakefield captured the championship with the 5-1 victory. Headmaster William E. Lynn, who was obviously pleased with the team’s outstanding performance during the season, is expected to preside over ceremonies later in the week when the trophy will be presented to the Wakefield team. A post-conference game was played on the 11th against neighboring Rappahannock High School. During the early part of the game there was little scoring until finally David Rowzie, of Amissville, was able to break away and kick in a goal. Minutes later the Rappahannock Panthers scored on a penalty kick and the teams entered halftime tied one-all. During the second half of play, Captain John Landis, of Front Royal, scored, followed almost immediately by another Panther goal. With the score at 2-2, the teams exchanged goals once again, Larry Tarr of Warrenton scored for Wakefield followed by another Rappahannock goal. The teams tie for the third time during the game generated much enthusiasm from the record crowds representing both schools. With only 30 seconds left in the game tension was high as Tarr scored again to win the hard-fought match for Wakefield with the final score of 4-3. School newspaper awarded Wakefield School’s student newspaper The Hoot w as awarded a third place rating by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, CSPA, a division of Columbia University in New York City. 1985 marked the first year that The Hoot has been sumbitted for judging by CSPA. The newspaper, which has been published since 1980, provided CSPA with six issues from J the 1984-1985 school year for entry in the contest. The judges provided an in-depth critique of the newspaper commenting that, “Considering the size and make-up of your school, you manage to treat all levels (kindergarten-12) fairly. You are in a unique situation and handle school news well.” The judges added that the staffs job was more difficult as they did have to deal with such a wide range of grade levels. CSPA judges the entries from school newspapers around the country with respect to others in the contest so that each newspaper is compared to those from schools of a similar nature. The judges attempt to provide positive, constructive criticism for the staffs of the papers. The editor of the 1984-1985 Hoot was Mary Jo Lawrence, of Catlett. The assistant editor of The Hoot for the current school year, was pleased with the third place award. The paper has changed considerably since its firstIssue and he plans to incorporate mahy of the CSPA suggestions inter future editions of the paper. I / 26 seniors top $92,000 Wakefield School reports that 26 of its 1985 seniors won more than $92,000 in scholarships to colleges and universities. Included in that figure are National Merit Corporation Scholarships, Virginia Scholars Awards, Army, Air Force and Navy ROTC scholarships, as well as individual grants and awards. The school, a private school located near Huntly, also reports that its students last year topped state and national avergages in the Scholastic Aptitude Tests (SAT). According to the school, Wakefield seniors last year scored 640 on the verbal portion of the exam and 563 on the math portion. The school’s juniors scored an average 602 on the verbal portion and 550 on the math portion. On the math jportion of the exam taken by those students considering a college career, the national average is 475, state average 473 and the average scored by independent schools is 510. On the verbal portion, the national average is 431, the state average 435 and independent schools averaged 480.

Hundreds were left homeless by the raging Shenandoah which was pushed far beyond its banks by several successive days of hard rains. Local estimates in Clarke and Warren counties show the river was nearly five feet higher at its peak last week than during the flooding brought on in 1972 by Hurricane Agnes. The 1985 flood almost matches in magnitude the great floods of 1942 and 1936. Local officials estimated Warren County suffered by far the worst damage with $8.2 million worth of homes and furnishings damaged or destroyed. Clarke County, which is down river from Warren but has far fewer residences in the river’s flood plain, suffered an estimated $848,000 worth of damage. Several homes were completely covered with water and many pushed from their foundation in the river section of Shenandoah Farms subdivision, which straddles the Clarke-Warren line along the banks of the Shenandoah. Evans-Smith denied trial Convicted murderer William “Bull” Evans-Smith was denied a new trial in Loudoun Circuit Court last Thursday. But the former American University official — who has maintained innocence for his wife Barbara’s murder — will appeal his case until acquitted, a defense lawyer said. “Clearly, we will keep going until we get a new trial or a judgment of acquittal,” defense lawyer David H. Moyes said. “We will go on to appellate court or federal courts as necessary,” he said. Judge Carleton Penn denied all six defense motions — five for a new trial in Loudoun Circuit Court and one for an acquittal (on the grounds of insufficent evidence by law). A jury found the 65-year-old retired Army colonel guilty Aug. 30 of second-degree murder and gave him five years in prison. Judge Penn has scheduled sentencing for Dec. 6. He may suspend any or all of the defendant’s time in prison. Park best in state Rose Hill Park in Berryville was picked as the best gardening project in Virginia by the judging team of Family Circle magazine. The publication is sponsoring a “Make America Beautiful” contest in cooperation with Hyponex and Bedding Plants Inc. The park, on land donated to the town of Berryville by Graham Smithy, has been adopted by almost every community organization in Clarke County as well as garden clubs and individuals. Mall won’t come down The Warrenton Town Council voted 5-2 last Tuesday to grant a local developer’s appeal of a Sept. 13 decision by the Architectural Review Board. If the council had sided with the board, Phillip Green either would have had to tear down or brick up part of his mini-mall under construction at Fifth and Homer streets. Where to turn in bad weather The Rappahannock County public school system has announced its media representatives to be notified in the event bad weather cancels classes. When poor weather places the opening of school that day in doubt, an announcement to cancel school for that day will be made on any one of the radio or television stations listed below.

Neighbors fight county over shelter site Continued from page 1 Construction on the site has already begun, board Chairman Hubert Gilkey told Supervisors at their October regular meeting. In the letter distributed to Supervisors last week, the Dellingers requested Supervisors to “reconsider its decision not to refer this matter to the Planning Commission for a public hearing, ...to withdraw its building and zoning permit applications and to postpone any construction of the shelter pending the outcome of such a hearing." Following a 90-minute closed session to confer with their attorney Peter Luke, Supervisors voted to continue to build the shelter near the school, but invited nearby residents tp inspect the site and review long-range plans. That attempted compromise apparently did not sway the Dellingers from challenging the location of the shelter. “While this matter can hopefully be resolved to everyone’s satisfaction,” the letter states, “The Dellingers have been advised that an appeal of the zoning administrator’s decision to issue the building permit must be filed by Nov. 15. If the board fails to act on their request...our clients will have no alternative but to pursue other remedies to protect their rights.” Konick referred to public hearings as “test balloons.” In addition, the attorney submitted to the board a petition he said contained 120 signatures of people protesting the site. Supervisors, who are currently en gaged in a lawsuit with local animal rights activists demanding the county to conform to state laws requiring a shelter, originally planned to place the dog pound on private property owned by game warden Jack Bruce. At their Sept. 9 meeting, Supervisors, who were informed by Bruce that he no longer wished to sell property for the site, voted instead to locate the shelter on the county-owned grounds adjacent to the abandoned school building. In his letter to Supervisors, Konick wrote that the couple has owned that land in Scrabble since 1960 and plan to make it their “permanent residence in the very near future.” Konick also said the couple is “deeply concerned...that the board made this decision without any advance notice” which. he said, represents a switch from past practices of conducting a hearing. The county held a hearing to discuss a proposed landfill. “The Dellingers think it is unfair to direct a public hearing on one land use decision involving public facilities and to deprive citizens of the protection the statute was intended to provide in a subsequent land use decision involving substantially similar issues,” according to the letter. Also, Konick pointed out that County Attorney Luke, in a Sept. 21 letter di-’ rected to the board, advised Supervisors the state’s attorney general is of the opinion that no public hearing is necessary “to determine whether or not the location of the proposed facility is substantially in accord with the comprehensive plan.” However, Luke added that the opm ions of the attorney general “are not binding on any court, should the county be sued over the location of the dog pound.” In addition, the Konick letter, dated Oct. 31, suggests that the Supervisors’ actions raise “a number of serious substantive and procedural legal issues.” They include: The proposed animal shelter is not a use permitted by right in the zoning district in which the property is located; it does not appear that the county health department has approved the use of existing septic systems for the purposes shown in the plans attached to the building permit application; no development plans have been submitted in accordance to provisions within the zoning ordinances. “For these reasons,” the document states, “The building permit issued on Oct. 16 may be invalid as a matter of law.” Rappahannock hunting regulations Public hearing set for Program Hunting seasons for various game have opened recently or will open in the next few weeks in Rappahannock. Following is a list of seasons and general regulations for each animal: Deer — Season opens Nov. 18 and ends Jan. 4. Limits are one deer per day and two per license year.

Sewer Continued from page 1 According to the present system plans, 64 homeowners will be sharing a septic tank. Approximately 10 of those homeowners have complained and do not want to share a tank because of the shared electrical bills involved. One homeowner on a shared tank would be charged for electricity used every other time the tank’s pump was activated, regardless of which home activated the pump. Homeowners who live alone but who would share a tank with a neighboring five or six person household, have complained that they would be paying for their neighbor’s electrical pumping needs. During its special meeting, the WSA will discuss whether or not to continue plans for shared tanks or order separate tanks for each household. —Received a letter from the State Water Control Board approving funds for eight of the 11 residents who requested to join the system. The remaining three would have to pay hook-up costs to be included. —Were advised that three of the original five residents requesting to be exempted from the system have signed user agreements. Septic fields for the remaining two residents will be inspected by a State Health Department official. Roof Continued from page 1 close proximity to any leaks. “It’s his responsibility to inspect public buildings whenever he receives even one complaint,” said Assistant Superintendent Tom Campbell. “He didn’t recognize any dangers to students. ” Board member Paul Nichols said he thought more people were more concerned with the possibility of various fungal growths developing in damp school ceilings. “It was good to have the Building Inspector there, but I don’t think he could make any determination on fungal growth,” Nichols said. Massie said she was glad the inspector had visited the school and sent a letter. “Maybe this will help to quieten concerns in the community,” she said.

THE PEACE OF GOD j (Part II) | This week, let's look at scripture j in I Peter 5:7. It says, "Casting all ! your care upon Him for He careth for j you.” This verse very clearly shows i us how much God really loves and ) cares about us, because it is telling S us to cast ALL our cares, troubles, j anxieties and problems on Him. i God doesn’t want his children j weighed or burdened down with s cares or problems. He wants us to be ^ free from these things, and He will j take them from us if we will only, by J faith, give them over to Him. I The way we do this, we saw in j last weeks article. Phil 4:6 says to j pray and petition God with thanksgiv-1 ing. We make our request known to j God. Example: “Father, I come to < you in the name of Jesus. I have this heavy burden and care on me. You said, in your word, to cast them on you because you love and care for j me. Father, I know, by faith, cast this J care on you and I trust you to take« care of it. And I now thank you for j your peace that you give me in place j of my problems and cares. In Jesus! name, I pray, Amen." • After having prayed this prayer in i faith, the peace of God will keep your ■ heart and mind. (Phil 4:7) This kind of s peace surpasses understanding, j Why? Because it is the divine, su-j pematural peace of God. Not the • kind of peace the world offers; which j isn't lasting peace. S In John 14:27, Jesus speaks j these wonderful words of comfort to ! us. "Peace I leave with you, My j peace I give unto you; not as the j world giveth, give I unto you, let not j your heart be troubled, neither let it • be afraid." There are so many won- j derful scriptures on the subject of j peace. | I urge you to search your Bible to < find these great promises God offers j His children. I pray GOD’S PEACE j be with you, in Jesus Name, Amen. ! Nuggets of Truth is sponsored by j Robert Dunphy Ministries, Inc., a i non-profit ministry. Our funds come j from donations only.

I have not been able to pay the cost of this column, and I do not believe in appealing to the public for money the way some religious columnists do. 1 have prayed that the Lord would provide if he wanted it to continue, and now a church has volunteered to help with part of the expenses. I cannot say yet if it will be in the paper every week, or what size it will be. Let’s watch and see. The Fellowship is making available some material on the subject of healing. It will not be published in the paper but will be sent on request for a fee of $3.00. This is less than cost, but close enough. I wish I could make it available free, but I just can’t do it at this time. If you are troubled by any of the false teaching that has recently appeared in the area about healing, you may find this helpful. It is intended to be simple, but thorough. I am sorry to announce that Allen Estep is no longer associated with the Sperryville Anabaptist Fellowship. Any correspondence intended for him should be sent to his home address, Route 2, Box 207-E, Broadway, VA 22815. Any correspondence intended for me or for the Fellowship can still be sent to the Sperryville post office box (see below). Now let’s have a little Bible study. Have you ever noticed the tendency people have to trust their own understanding? If two people disagree about something, it is rare that either one of them will honestly consider the opinion of the other. Each of us seems to have a built-in attitude that our own way of thinking is somehow just naturally more logical, more sensible and more “right” than the thinking of others. We see this in people who tend to dominate others, who just seem to know (so they think) what is best for others, and don’t understand why others don’t recognize the intrinsic brilliance of their thinking. We see it in politics, where equally intelligent and equally honorable people disagree violently and consider each other to be either idiotic or dishonorable. We see it in labor/management, international disarmament conferences, husband/wife and many other relationships. Worst of all, we see it in God/ man relationships. We hear it expressed sometimes with words like “God gave us a mind to use.” It is true that God did give us a mind to use, but he wants us to use it in subjection to him, not to justify rebelling against him. He warns us of this in Proverbs 3:5-6, where he says, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." Did those words register with you? He says, “Trust in the Lord...lean NOT unto thy own understanding.” In other words, he is telling us to do something that is totally contrary to our human nature if we would be successful in his estimation. Trusting ourselves can lead to trouble even in person-toperson relationships, and will definitely lead to disaster in the Godto-person relationship. The marvelous truth is that when we trust him as revealed in the principles and precepts of the Bible-we find him to be totally trustworthy. Please feel free to contact me.
