The $3 million in proposed expenditures, up 12 percent over the current year, calls for $1,548,689 in local hinds, an increase of 10 percent from 1985-86. The biggest chunk — $1,301,957 — would be in teachers’ salaries. The salary component makes up almost 78 percent of Rappahannock’s school budget, according to Mr. Estabrook. He noted teachers would get 12 percent pay hikes, classified employees (bus drivers, aides, custodians, cafeteria workers and secretaries) seven percent and administrators a set figure of $2,537. Highlighting expenditures, the superintendent pointed out that major increases are also proposed for: • Insurance premiums which have skyrocketed 30 percent for auto coverage and 35 percent for liability and property. • Building maintenance to pay for a new coal stoker for the high school furnace. • Rappahannock’s share of Piedmont Vocational Technical Center’s costs to correspond with local enrollment which has gone from 11 percent of the total five years ago to 17 percent this year. On the revenue side, the biggest disappointment comes in a $73,000 drop in federal revenue, according to Mr. Estabrook. But he noted that state contributions are up by more than $130,000. Of that figure, $53,000 comes in transitional funds to pay for teacher salary increases of at least 10 percent urged upon localities by the governor and the General Assembly. If the county doesn’t meet that mark, Mr. Estabrook warned, it will lose $51,000 in those same transitional funds next year. He pointed out that Rappahannock ranks 127th out of Virginia’s 136 school divisions in starting salaries paid to teachers. Still, he said, the county provides quality education. “But we can do better; we need the dollars to do better.” Pointing to 12 levels of math instruction, advanced calculus and chemistry, an excellent computer program and a long list of clubs, athletics and other extracurricular activities, high school math teacher Helen LaCava maintained that the county’s system is doing well by its students and well by the taxpayers. “Better than you have any right to expect,” she told the supervisors. She repeated Mr. Estabrook’s announcement that Rappahannock ranks 127th in starting salary among Virginia school divisions. “Five years ago, we were 47th. That’s the hard part,” she said, adding that the county has likewise plummeted from 85th to 128th in top salary paid to ex perienced teachers. “You're worried about trash, sludge, zoning and the future of Rappahannock County,” she told the supervisors. “The future of Rappahannock County sits in front of me every day. The future of Rappahannock County says ‘hi’ to Principal Maggie Piper and Principal Bob Chappel every morning. That’s where the future is.” She asked the board to give Mr. Estabrook not only the money he’s asking for but more. “A better eduContinued on page 18 — Democrat Staff PhottVClive Carafe Jolly Jake (Stewart Marr) jumps alongside race winner Marat (William Russell) at Rappahannock Fauquier may be asked to take county’s sludge By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer “This is one time when if you act slowly, you’re not going to make anybody mad,” said John Clark, advising the supervisors to hold another hearing before they act to rescind the county’s moratorium against land application of sludge from outside Rappahannock. In apparent agreement, the four board members at Wednesday’s public hearing listened but took no action. Opponents of sludge spreading are few but loud and adamant in their arguments. Citing health and environmental threats, they questioned the State Water Control Board’s ability to enforce sludge handling regulations. “You’ve got to do something with it,” said Robert Eastham. He acknowledged that Sperryville’s long delayed sewage treatment plant can’t get an operating permit from the state until the county comes up with a plan for how to dispose of sludge produced there. “But if you wish, you can spread Sperryville sludge on land here, beginning tomorrow morning,” he said, pointing out that the county’s moratorium only bans land application of sludge produced outside the county. But if sludge even Sperryville sludge is spread, “I’m convinced that some of us are going to get sick and some of us are going to die,” he added. As an alternative, Mr. Eastham suggested contracting with a neighboring county to take the dry solids left after wastewater is processed in the Sperryville plant. He announced that he had it from a “good authority” in Fauquier that the supervisors there “might well consider on some reasonable terms” taking the limited volume of sludge generated here — sludge that will require no more than one acre per year for land application. “Fauquier County has chosen to let it pour in over there . . . It’s only one acre more.” If Fauquier’s board turns down Rappahannock sludge, Mr. Eastham urged the supervisors to enact special permitting requirements on top of those already set by the health de partment and State Water Control Board before allowing land application here. “Adopt every reasonable safeguard you can think of. . . and work out with the commonwealth’s attorney a plan on exactly how to assure that our citizens will be protected. Do it loud and clear so these people won’t be worried sick.” Earlier in Wednesday’s meeting, Colleen Sellins from the SWCB’s northern Virginia regional office explained regulations governing land application of sludge. Only class A sludge which has undergone treatment processing and stabilization to reduce pathogens can be spread in Virginia, she said. To be eligible for land application, sludge may not contain heavy metals or other potentially toxic substances in quantities deemed harmful to humans, animals, crops or groundwater, she said. She maintained that land application should be viewed as utilization of a resource. It recycles nutrients, Continued on page 3 Hatter, Hutchinson join newspaper staff Louis M. Hatter Jr. joined The Rappahannock News this week as managing editor and former Editor Daphne Hutchinson rejoined the newspaper as a staff writer. Mr. Hatter, 30, fills a vacancy which has existed six weeks, since the resignation of William Talbott. At that time, Fauquier Democrat Lawrence Emerson took responsibility for The Rappahannock News editorial content. Both newspapers are part of Arundel Communications. /. Mr. Emerson will remain as executive editor of The News, responsible for editorial personnel and policy. But, Mr. Hatter will be responsible for daily news operations. He will handle requests for coverage and readers’ questions, suggestions, complaints, etc. A Rappahannock County resident for two years, Mr. Hatter has been an assistant chef at The Inn at Little Washington. He previously worked as a reporter and photographer for two weekly newspapers, The Citizen-Standard in Valley View, Pa., and at The Centre-Democrat in Bellefonte, Pa. A Towson, Md., native, he studied English at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pa. “I wanted to become more involved with the community, to get to know the area and the people better,” Mr. Hatter said. “I felt this job gave me the perfect opportunity to do that... I also missed writing and was interested in getting back into journalism.” He added: “There are several large issues in the county that need to be addressed, as well as many small things . . . The community newspaper is the perfect vehicle to make people aware of those issues.” In addition to his management . duties, Mr. Hatter will cover police, courts, sports and features. LOUIS M.

She returns as a part-time reporter to cover county government. DAPHNE HUTCHINSON ... rejoins news staff “Daphne knows the issues and the people. Nobody could cover this county’s government any better,” Mr. Hatter said. “She’s invaluable in our efforts to make this the best community paper in the state.” Surplus may help avoid tax increase In an abbreviated work session lasting only a few minutes after Monday’s public hearing on the proposed 1986-87 school budget, accountant Wally Cox informed the supervisors that the county’s general fund surplus will be unusually high at the end of the current fiscal year. He estimated that the balance would be around $400,000, well above the generally accepted reserve of 5 percent of the total. In Rappahannock’s case, that works out to about $200,000. According to Mr. Cox, the excess equals the imbalance in proposed expenditures for next year. As submitted, requests from the School Board and other departments outstrip revenue projections by $200,000 under the present tax rate of 58 cents per $100 of asessed value, according to Mr, Cox. “You could draw a couple of hundred thousand (from the general fund surplus) to balance the budget,” he told the supervisors. The surplus is “a couple of hundred thousand higher than it was a year ago. Unless you need the money for something I don’t know about — a landfill or sludge disposal — you could draw it down.” Of the $200,000 imbalance, the school budget as submitted to the supervisors accounts for $140,000, said Mr. Cox. With a penny on the rate generating $22,000, to meet requested expenditures without ftirther budget cuts would take a tax increase of nine cents, he noted. The supervisors will get copies of the preliminary county budget and hold a full blown work session with Mr. Cox on Wednesday, April 30, at 7:30 p.m. in the basement of the clerk’s office. Miller succeeds Baldwin as Hamilton supervisor J. Newbill Miller, Rappahannock fanner and real estate agent, returned to the Board of Supervisors last Wednesday to fill the vacancy left by the death of Clarence Baldwin. In a letter announcing his resignation — read at the April board meeting the day after he died, Mr. Baldwin suggested Mr. Miller as his successor. After his unanimous election last Wednesday by supervisors J. R. atham, Hubert Gilkey and Charles Estes, Mr. Miller was immediately sworn in and seated at the board ta- ■ ble on the stage of the Gay Street Theater. “We’ll put you to work right away!” noted Mr. Latham. Mr. Miller previously served as both a member and chairman of the Board of Supervisors. He was defeated by a one vote, 231 to 232, by Mr. Baldwin in 1971. Since then, Mr. Miller has been council member and mayor for the Town of Washington, a member of the county School Board and a member of the county Planning Commission. He will continue on the planning commission as the supervisors’ representative. In a J. NEWBILL MILLER ... again a supervisor second unanimous vote at Wednesday’s meeting, his fellow board members confirmed that appointment following Supervisor Charles Estes’ resignation from the post. Town voters to elect council on Tuesday By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock News Special Writer The Town of Washington will elect its governing body next Tuesday, choosing a Town Council, a treasurer and a mayor for the 46th time since the town was incorporated by the General Assembly in 1894. There are eight contenders for the six-member council, including the treasurer’s position. Former councilman Newbill Miller was sworn in last week as a member of the Board of Supervisors, representing the Hampton District after the resignation and death of former supervisor Clarence Baldwin. (Although his name is on the ballot as a candidate, Mr. Miller no longer is a candidate for councilman as he cannot serve on both boards.) The registrar’s office reports 151 registered voters in the town, slightly more than there were in 1984 when 90 out of a possible 129 registered town voters showed up at the polls. The first Washington’s population has fluctuated mildly but has had no dramatic changes since the original town fathers and Mayor John Clark met shortly before the turn of the century to grapple with such problems as horses standing on the sidewalk (50-cent fine) and hog pens too near the street. The town has little revenue, but on the other hand has few expenses. The greatest expense — upkeep and repair of the antiContinued on page 18

Continued from page 1 .- P™vides the farmers with fertilizer and disposes of waste, all at the same time, Ms. Sellins explained. Before a permit is granted to either a private contractor or a municipality to apply sludge to land, soil scientists and geologists evaluate the proposed site. They look at • slope, acidity of the soil, depth to the p*oundwater table, distance from homes, wells, streams, ponds and • property lines, the use to which the property will be put after sludge ap■ plication and other factors. Sludge samples are tested to make sure it falls within safety parameters, she noted. After a permit is granted, both . the health department and State Water Control Board make periodic •. inspections to ensure that regulations on application rates, buffer distances and other standards are being followed, according to Ms. Sellins. Monthly reports must be submitted to the agencies on the quan.. tity of sludge received and how much is applied to the land, she noted. “If a problem arises, we will be out there, usually within the same day” said Ed Miller, also of the SWCB’s regional office. The health department treats sludge application just as it does a sewage plant and inspects two or three times a year, Mr. Miller said. Mr. Eastham reported that people in Fauquier County have accused the health department and State Water Control Board “of not being able to do what the law requires and what you say you do.” He asked the SWCB representatives to promise in writing that they “will protect Rappahannock County” and monitor sludge application here. “We have to rely on cdunty citi- zens to let us know of any problems,” Ms. Sellins replied. “We don’t have enough people in our office to have someone on every site everytime sludge is applied. ” “We can’t guarantee anything,” Mr. Miller acknowledged. “We can’t guarantee that pesticides will be used properly, according to the law.” He acknowledged that contract haulers of sludge are responsible for monitoring themselves. “ The state has a self-monitoring system,’ he said, with procedures for sludge application identical to the self-monitoring program set for sewage treatment plants like Sperryville’s. “I’m not looking forward to hav| |f&g 'Sperryville’s or anybody else’s Nftllwgie%Jwhd here-,* said Ron Frazier, , charging that Wednesday’s hearing seemed to'Be geared toward accepting sludge and asking if raw sludge has been spread in Fauquier County. Raw sludge that has not been stabilized and treated to destroy pathogens cannot be legally applied to land anywhere in Virginia, Mr. Miller replied. Mr. Frazier maintained that monitoring land application using just the reports that the appliers submit provides no control. ‘We do have spot checks,” said Mr. Miller, at the same time admitting that these checks occur infrequently. “We knew we’d have to make a - decision eventually when we put the moratorium on,” said supervisor chairman Hubert Gilkey, explaining ; that the ban on land application was ; never intended to be permanent. “We wanted to find out the capabil• ity of the land . . . We knew we had ! to put Sperryville’s sludge some! where. We have to revoke the morai torium.” ; Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter ; Luke acknowledged that the coun■ ty’s moratorium applies only to fs> Real Estate sws„sss; Eileen M. Day realtor PERSONAL USE OF VACATION HOME Under today’s tax laws, if you are claiming your vacation home as an investment property, you are restricted to personal use of no more than 14 days or 10% of the annual number of days the property is rented. If you exceed this number of “personal use days”, you’ll lose many of the important investment deductions, such as depreciation and utility and maintenance costs. This 14 day limit of personal use can be extended if the visits are for the purpose of maintenance and upkeep. If this is your case, be sure you can document the fact that you actually did the maintenance work during that extra time period. In the past, if you brought a relative or friend along, it was automatically considered personal. Now you can bring the whole family, as long as you can prove that you did maintenance work during the visit. Since the IRS is always looking for their share of taxes, you must be prudent about the number of visits and timing. It is doubtful that they’ll buy visits every weekend during the rental season.

We’re here to help. sludge generated outside the county but said that differentiation is of “doubtful legality.” (In an opinion given in May 1984, former Virginia Attorney General Gerald L. Baliles held that discriminating between people proposing to apply “resident” versus “nonresident” sludge to county land would be of “doubtful validity” without a set of facts which reasonably could support classifying sludge by its source.) “If the county has regulations more stringent than the state’s, would you honor those?” asked Supervisor Charles Estes. The SWCB has issued permits in Caroline County which has an absolute moratorium against land application of sludge, according to Mr. Miller. “So if you look at that, you’d have to say no.” He agreed that a locality can adopt its own permit system. “But there’s a question as to how strict you all can be . . . That will probably have to be decided in the courts,” he said. “If the county doesn’t want it doesn’t mean we won’t issue a permit,” Mr. Miller added. “There’s a lot of gray area . . . The test case is waiting in Caroline County,” said Mr. Luke. He noted that Rappahannock can be more restrictive in its permit than the state but must provide reasons for its more stringent regulations. “The threat of Blue Plains sludge is a very real and present one,” maintained Mr. Frazier, referring to waste from Washington, D.C.’s, sewage treatment plant. “You don’t seem to have control over contract haulers,” he said, asking for the health department’s and SWCB’s fines and penalties for violating sludge application regulations. “Enforcement ranges from saying ‘Stop doing that!’ to going to the AG’s (attorney general’s) office,” Mr. Miller answered. As an example of a strong response, he cited a case in Essex where a consent order was issued, warning a contract hauler that automatic fines would ensue if sludge was again spread on an unapproved site. Noting her opposition to land application, Beverly Massie found it “inconceivable” that the health department and SWCB have spent so much time on establishing regulations for land application of sludge without specifying penalties for violation of those regulations. Asked if there has been an instance of disease transmission or ground water contamination arising in the decades of sludge application r to land in the mid-western U.S., Ms. Sellins answered: “Nothing recorded, no documented cases.” “They have 30 inches of topsoil in the mid-West. We have six inches in Rappahannock. You can’t compare the two,” maintained Supervisor Newbill Miller. Dr. Werner Krebser, planning commissioner and doctor at the Rappahannock Medical Center, reported that surveys show sewage treatment plant workers have no higher instance of hepatitis and other diseases than does the general public. In response to a question regarding the quality of Blue Plains sludge, Ms. Sellins noted that it’s “one of the cleanest sludges in this country . . . It’s not a high industrial sludge.” “We have pure sewage going down the creek in Amissville,” interjected Helen Dixon. “I’m much more worried about that than about sludge.” “Blue Plains is run carelessly overloaded. I don’t want to have anything to do with Blue Plains sludge, period,” said a man in the rear of the darkened Gay Street theater (where meetings are being held while the courthouse is under renovation.) In proposing that Fauquier be asked to take Rappahannock’s sludge, Mr. Eastham charged that the State Water Control Board’s position on monitoring is “Let the citizens do it. If they complain, we’ll check into it. If they don’t, fine we’ll let it go.” “We’ve asked other counties to take care of our trash and our stray dogs ... We ought to start taking care of our own problems,” said Mrs. Dixon. “Why object so much to spreading fertilizer on grass?” asked Eugene Esecherich. A voice from the back of the theater maintained that the crux of the land application issue lies in monitoring and sludge quality. “Every truckload brought in here must be inspected,” the man maintained. “Who’s going to do the monitoring at 5 a.m.?” asked Mr. Frazier, saying he opposed land application of sludge anywhere in Rappahannock County. “I can understand the opposition to Blue Plains sludge to some extent,” said Dr. Krebser. “But I’m amazed at the audacity of asking someone else to accept OUR sludge. . . I think we ought to take care of our own affairs,” said the planning commission member from Wakefield District.

Then, if a taker can’t be found, allow only locally produced sludge to be spread on the county’s land, he proposed. “I don’t find it hard to say yes to Sperryville and no to Blue Plains... Sperryville’s OUR problem. But until somebody twists you by the arm, don’t give up (the moratorium on outside sludge) ,” Mr. Clark advised the supervisors. “Don’t give it up until you have to,” he repeated, adding that 20 years from now, the county may be hard pressed to find enough land for application of the sludge produced within its boundaries alone. “I’m here to support your decision to do what you have to do with Sperryville,” Mr. Clark continued. But he asked for another public hearing to be scheduled before a decision is made to accept outside sludge. “Certainly there’s fear in everything. You can be afraid of driving down the road,” interjected farmer Randall Updike. There’s danger in orchard chemicals if they’re used improperly, just as there’s danger in sludge if it isn’t handled properly, he said. But the dangers posed by land application of sludge in Rapppahannock County are being blown out of proportion, Mr. Updike concluded. County loses lawsuit on trailer location In a letter opinion dated April 21, Judge William Shore Robertson found sections of Rappahannock’s zoning ordinance “arbitrary and unreasonable” and denied the county’s request for an injunction against the \ owner of a mobile home in the Amissville trailer park. Zoning Administrator Emiel Smet sought the injunction after Robert Croston replaced his old mobile home with a newer, larger model. According to papers filed in the suit, Mr. Croston’s electrical service had to be upgraded from 50 to 200 amps, requiring a building permit. Mr. Smet inspected the trailer site and issued the building permit on March 14, 1985, without questioning the trailer’s location, according to the affidavits. Then in a letter dated March 26, Mr. Smet informed Mr. Croston that the new trailer violated the county’s requirement for a 10-foot setback from a boundary line and applied for an injunction ordering its removal. Mr. Croston and trailer court owner Marjorie Moore, who was allowed to intervene in the suit, argued that the trailer court, established in 1964 prior to the adoption of the 1973 zoning ordinance, is a non-conforming use and thus exempt from the setback regulation. The character of the trailer court Antique Market to Reopen This weekend will mark the beginning of a new year for the Sperryville Antique Market. The market, which is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends and holidays, will hold a re-opening celebration this Saturday and Sunday. New dealers and craftsmen from the area include Tom Van Fange of Woodville, who will be displaying a -variety of handcrafted fiimiture, Tom and Danielle Junk of Sperryville, Ruby Beck and Ethel Gore, both from Culpeper, Nadine Barret of Warrenton, a dealer in country furniture, and Betty and Jerry Wilson, also of Warrenton, who trade in antiques and collectibles. The market also features a snack bar stocked with homemade subs, breads, and desserts for weary treasure hunters. This year Mazie Clark will be in charge of the snacks and refreshments. Also available at the market are a variety of flowers, bedding plants, and hanging baskets. Saturday’s opening will begin the fourth season for the Market, which is located on Rt. 1003 in Sperryville. “We’re looking forward to an exciting season,” said owner Peggy Smith. Another upcoming event for the Antique Market will be a craft show the weekend of May 24 and 25. It will be held in conjunction with the annual Sperryville Spring Festival. ATTENTION!

In ruling against the county, he found arbitrary and unreasonable (as they apply to Mr. Croston and Mrs. Moore) the ordinance provision cited above and a section which requires nonconforming structures extended, enlarged or relocated to conform with the ordinance. Mrs. Moore expressed satisfaction with the outcome but dissatisfaction that she had to go to court in the first place. “It cost me to defend myself against this county,” she complained. “They wouldn’t listen to me that my trailer park is a nonconforming use,” said Mrs. Moore, who is the widow of one Fairfax attorney and now employed as secretary by another. — Daphne Hutchinson r l American Heart Association WE'RE FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE JOHN MICHAEL’S BEAUTYSALON Announces their “Top of the Line” Permanents Are Always $30.00 includes cut & styling Open 6 days til 9 p.m. And never... any waiting Call for appointment 703-635-4435 ANYTIME Nexxus Products In Stock Harmony Hollow (Near4-HCenter) ^ ^ iko' r t t) c°me on in._— The Food Savings-’** Are Fine!

Published by the Rappahannock News, a division of Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. s-_ THURSDAY, MAY 1,1986 Editorials Important Tuesday Eight Rappahannock County residents have put their time, integrity and intelligence on the line. They are candidates for Town Council seats in Tuesday’s election in Washington. The winners will make vital decisions which will affect the town and adjacent unincorporated areas. With increased development here, services provided by the town are becoming more important — even for those who do not live or work in town. Questions about growth, utility services and increased regulation are of concern both inside and outside the corporate limits. So the 151 voters eligible to cast ballots Tuesday have a lot to think about and the county’s other residents should keep an eye on the results. The town’s registered voters should exercise their rights and responsibilities at the polling places Tuesday. The number of candidates is encouraging; voter participation should be equally impressive. The sludge debate Spreading sewage sludge as fertilizer nutures controversy as well as crops. After quieting for a couple years, the debate is heating up again in Rappahannock, because the county soon must decide how to handle sludge from the Sperryville wastewater treatment plant. The county may have to lift its moratorium on sludge spreading, although some contend that wouldn’t be necessary to accomodate ; local needs. Trucking sludge to Fauquier, where its use has become commonplace, could be a solution — at least temporarily, while local Officials sort things out, or permanently. But, if the county decides to accept sludge, it also should follow gFauquier’s lead by establishing a “tipping fee,” paid by haulers who Dring the sewage treatment byproduct to the country for disposal. The revenues allow Fauquier to pay for supervision of the ; application. For, as our neighbors to the east discovered, the state simply is not equipped to adequately monitor sludge spreading. It’s up to the county to safeguard the local envirnoment and health of its citizens. Bits and pieces Chickens came home to roost at B&B Service Center recently. A rooster and a hen, dubbed Chicken Little and Henny Penny by customers, moved in after hopping off a passing truck that stopped at the station. Before nesting activities and egg production could begin in the garage bay, Mike and Judy Brown managed to find the owners, who reclaimed the errant fowl... A local wag has come up with a solution to Rappahannock’s trash crisis. He proposes that commuters to the Big Washington bag the refuse and drop it off at dumpsters in Culpeper, Fauquier and Fairfax while in transit. “If they get ticketed for dumping out of county garbage, our supervisors could pay the fines. It would be much cheaper than running a landfill!” the wag proclaimed. ---- -- -----——RapfHtannoct New* Stiff Fhoto/Oieg Ttaner Rappahannock Heritage RIDERS AND MOUNTS go full-tilt in Sunday’s Rappahannock Hunt Races near Sperryville Letters to the editor Remembering Flossie To the editor: It is difficult to describe the emptiness I feel inside at the passing of one of Woodville’s most outstanding citizens, Mrs. Florence Williamson. “Flossie” first made my acquaintance about six years ago. My husband, Tom, was the new “shop” teacher at Rappahannock High School and she had heard he was good with small engine repairs. So she called upon him to solve some difficulty she was having with her roter tiller. (It was an antique machine and almost the same size as she!) How she managed to operate it all by herself, which she assured us she did, remains a mystery to me! At any rate, Tom was able to fix it to her delight, but while he was there she had one more small favor to ask of him. She wanted him to “just stand by the pond and watch” while she waded out to the drainage pipe, dived under the water, and unclogged it. An amazing woman, to say the least! From that time on, we were great friends and I came to eagerly look forward to “tea and sandwiches” with Flossie. She would brew her delicious Rosemary tea and serve me those delectable chive sandwiches on her own homemade bread and with her special dressing. She always made me feel like I was a most special person, someone famous perhaps, the way she flitted about to serve me. Later we would go to the garden and a wealth of information flowed from her lips about her beloved herbs. I always felt it would have benefitted me to carry a tape recorder at those times. She was so excited to instruct me and spoke so quickly, it was difficult to retain it all. After each visit with Flossie, life seemed a whole lot brighter, and living it to the fullest seemed so much more possible. When questioned about her health, Flossie glossed over this topic with a wide grin, a twinkle in her eye, and “Oh, just a little heart trouble. Nothing serious! How are you and those precious children?” She showed a true concern for others with heart ^conditions, and that they were made aware of the marvelous benefits to their health cooking with herbs could give them. Her desire was to write a book about this from all the data she had gathered from her vast experience with herbs. Flossie shared so much more with me than just her herbs. She gave of her time and her talents. She gave me comfort and love. The herbs in my garden testify to me of the trade for which she became famous. They are a living memorial of a grand lady’s deep faith in God, one who had a zest for living, and who left me a wonderful pattern for living it. In loving memory of Flossie. KAREN VON FANGE Woodville In the majority of cases the best fruit of a man’s toil is reaped after his death, and oftentimes when he has died hungering for it. — Irene Safford Time for a change To the editor: Let’s face it, Rappahannock County, it is time for a new Zoning Ordinance. We live in a legal world and we need an ordinance that can be interpreted consistently so that people know what they can or cannot do. A new ordinance has been on the drawing board for quite a while and should by now have the kinks worked out of it so in fairness to citizens of Rappahannock, I implore the Board of Su* w pervisors to go ahead and pass the new ordinance. CHRIS PARRISH Viewtown Yes, but with dignity To the editor: Our zoning ordinances and the process by which they are applied are of the greatest importance; they are our primary hope for protecting the values and beauty of this area — a dream that most of us share whatever our point of view on other subjects. However, this importance does not excuse the putdowns and belittlings to which people are subjected when they bring their dreams into the process for consideration. This “attack” attitude diminishes the value of the process and offends many who are committed to its importance. As well, it is beneath the mature and intelligent persons on the boards involved and does not reflect the ambiance of which we are so proud here in Rappahannock. Please, folks, let us pay careful attention to the decisions at hand, but let us also inject the process of review with the dignity and good spirit of which it is worthy. JENNINGS W. HOBSON III Washington Robb’s files restricted RICHMOND — David K. McCloud, chief of staff for Gov. Gerald L. Baliles and former Gov. Charles S. Robb, has placed the papers left by Robb on restriction pending a review for sensitive or privileged information. The Richmond Times-Dispatch sought access to the Robb files in mid-March. But the request was denied by the governor’s office, the newspaper reported Friday. The reason given for the denial was that some files may be protected by lawyer-client privilege or may contain material that is exempt from Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act. Gov. Baliles, both in person and through a news release issued last Thursday, said a special review will be conducted to index the files. Eventually the papers will be sent to the Virginia State Library, he said. State law requires each former governor to deliver 10 the state library “all correspondence of his office during his term — provided that this shall not apply to correspondence of a personal or private nature, the decision thereon to be made by the governor. ” Gov. Robb said he kept some files that were “of strictly personal interest.” Mr. McCloud said the former governor left files concerning legal, personnel and some policy matters. “There will be no attempt to remove material not related to personnel or legal matters,” he said. ’Freedom of choice? ; WILLIAMSBURG — The state medical society’s •practice of forcing its members to join the American •Medial Association has drawn the wrath of Del. George ;w. Grayson. K .. Across Virginia s “One shouldn’t have to join an organization that is known for its political role,” the Williamsburg Democrat said. “The principle of freedom of choice is well established in Virginia and this flies in the face of it.” Del. Grayson said he may introduce a bill in the 1987 General Assembly to bar the practice. He said he would draft a bill after consulting with doctors. Terry completes goals RICHMOND — Attorney General Mary Sue Terry, after SV2 sometimes controversial months in office, says she has done what she said she would do during her campaign last fall. “If you look at the covenant I made with the people in November, what was it?” asked Ms. Terry, a 38-yearold Patrick County lawyer. “I emphasized over and over that the attorney general’s primary role was to lead and manage the law and, secondarily, was public policy.” Since taking office in January, Ms. Terry has seen all nine of her bills or studies approved by the General Assembly. "That’s 100 percent approval,” she said. « Efficiency panel to meet RICHMOND — Members of the new Governor’s Commission on Efficiency in Government will hear a Grace Commission member tell how that panel investigated waste in government. George Goldberger, president of Citizens Against Government Waste and a project director for the Grace Commission, was to speak Wednesday during the first meeting of the new commission. Gov. Gerald L. Baliles named Henrico County Del. Ralph L. Axselle Jr. last Wednesday to head the 26member commission that will recommend ways to cut waste and inefficiency in state government. Joining Mr. Axselle, a Democrat, on the panel are Richmond management consultant James A. Remington, as vice chairman, and 24 committee members. Mr. Axselle was chairman of the Regulatory Reform Advisory Board created in 1982 by former Gov. Charles S. Robb. The Governor’s Commission on Efficiency in Government replaces that panel. The new commission is charged with telling Gov. Baliles how to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of state government, reduce governmental regulations on business and individuals and eliminate unnecessary competition between state government and the private sector. Commission members also are to recommend how to reduce the amount of state government paperwork by 25 percent by 1990. Other responsibilities include reviewing which state agencies and institutions could be replaced by private enterprise. It also will try to determine which of those agencies place the state in a position of unfair competition with the private sector. ‘Think tank9 gets look CHARLOTTESVILLE — A research center in Charlottesville, although little known in Virginia, is gaining national attention for its study of the U.S. presidency. The White Burkett Miller Center of Public Affairs has attracted presidents, Cabinet members, ambassadors and presidential advisors since it opened its doors 10 years ago. v “It’s becoming one of the leading centers in the country,” former Secretary of State Dean Rusk, said in a telephone interview. Now a law professor at the University of Virginia, Rusk has also contributed his insights about the presidency at Miller Center forums. Wilder offers advice HAMPTON — Adults owe it to young people to tell them that life is hard, says Lt. Gov. L. Douglas Wilder. “They are not going to be excused for not measuring up,” Lt. Gov. Wilder said at a dinner last Thursday night sponsored by Citizens Boys’ Club of Hampton. Mr. Wilder, the first black to hold state office in Virginia, spoke of his college days and how he had to borrow money to pay for his education at Virginia Union University. But he always got what he needed because his backers believed the money was well spent. “That’s what investment is all about, and that’s what our young people need,” he said.

He was the Panorama Video has new store Rappahannock County acquired its second video rental store with the opening last weekend of Panorama Video Rentals in Sperryville. Owned and operated by Marty and Brenda Sickles of Luray, the store has a selection of close to 200 movies. According to Mr. Sickles, most of the movies are recent or newly released on videotape, although classics \ikeThe African Queen&ndThe King and /are also included in their selection. A variety of movies is available which cover a range of styles and genres. Horror fans will find the just-releasedThe Alchemist as well as the cult classicTfee Night of the Living Dead. For comedy lovers there is Eddie Murphy’s smash hitBeverly Hills CopsndGoin’ SouMwith John Belushi. For the young, and young at heart, there are cartoons and movies from the theatre and television, including Walt Disney features, She Ra, Care Bearsand others. Science fiction buffs will find George Lucas’sStar Worstrilogy, while a variety of Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee films await the kung-fu fancier. Mrs. Sickles said that the store is “getting a few new releases each week, and the ones we don’t have are back-ordered and will be in soon.” Asked why the store stocks only VHS format tapes, the owners explained that VHS is far more popular than Beta, and they decided that “having only VHS means that we can buy more movies rather than having to buy two copies of every film although we have duplicates of some of the real popular movies.” They added that videotape distributors have a larger selection of titles in the VHS format as well. Panorama Video Rentals will be open seven days a week, from noon to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 1 to 6 p.m. on Sunday. The rental charge for tapes is $2 per night. Club memberships are available at a special grand opening discount of $7.95 for one year through this Saturday, after which they will be $10 per year. The store is located on Rt. 211 next to Baldwin’s West End Shell, and Mr. and Mrs. Sickles will be happy to provide any additional information about the club in person or by phone at 987-3197. Bloodmobile in Marshall The Red Gross bloodmobile will be at the Marshall Baptist Church, on Route 17 south of town, on Tuesday, May 6, from 1 to 6 p.m. This will be the first time since last October that the bloodmobile has been at Marshall, so the 31 people who donated at that time are again eligible, Mrs. Hazel Williams, blood team captain, points out. But she hopes for many more than that number, as the quota is 45 units (pints). And the Fauquier Chapter of the Red Cross needs a substantial number of new donors if it is to meet its quota for the fiscal year that ends next month. A year ago the chapter was given a quota of 1,300 units to be collected during the year. In early March that seemed to be possible. But then the bloodmobile in Warrenton March 27, with only 70 units, fell short of its target of 90. — Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Lou Hatter PANORAMA VIDEO on Route 211 west of Sperryville PRICES CUT NOW 75-10 OFF OF OUR ENTIRE INVENTORY STOKES MART MAIN STREET, FRONT ROYAL •BEDDING PLANTS •FERTILIZERS •YARD & GARDEN SUPPLIES •Beer • Wine • Soda • Tobacco • Cigarettes • Cleaning, Laundry Supplies • Automotive • Housewares • Paper Goods • Pet Foods •Clothing • Shoes • Paint & Accessories • Health & Beauty Aids •Soap • Detergents • Dairy • Eggs • Meats • Coffee • Tea • Spices • Cereals • Produce • Bread • Crackers • Cookies • Canned Goods • Frozen Foods • Snacks • Batteries AND MUCH MORE first man on a town ballot for more than 20 years.

Library Lines By GRACE SIMS Librarian After many years of charging only 15 cents a week for overdue books the Rappahannock County Library will inaugurate a new policy effective May 1, 1986. The fine for overdue books, cassettes, and magazines will be five cents a day, still a bargain. Timely new books at the Library are Malfred Femdock’s Morel Cookbook, a collection of essays and recipes, a gift from Eugene McCarthy, and The Mushroom Trail Guide given by Fannie Boyls. Other new books include Judith Viorst’s Necessary Losses subtitled “the loves, illusions, dependencies and impossible expectations that all of us have to give up in order to grow”; When All You’ve Ever Wanted Isn’t Enough by Rabbi Harold Kushner; Food for Fitness after Fifty, “a menu for good health in the later years” by Dr. Frederick Stare; Carolly Erickson’s Our Tempestuous Day, a history of Regency England; Robert Coles’ The Moral Life of Children, and Harold Leinbaugh’s The Men of Company K, the autobiography of a World War II rifle company. In a lighter vein are: Dr. Seuss, You’re Only Old It’s a boy!! Steve, Mollie and Amber Welch announce the birth of their son and brother, Nathan Lloyd, bom April 20,1986. He weighed nine pounds. Grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. John Dennis of Madison and Mr. and Mrs. Larrie Welch of Flint Hill. Great-grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Willie Woodward of Etlan and Mrs. Ethel Pullen of Flint Hill.

"DCUCIOIK ana MfordaWe" Rt. 55 East Front Royal, Virginia 635-3557 In many newspapers "Church news" seldom makes front page. Some coming-event, a special program, or visiting clergy receives notice somewhere in the printed page but hardly any mention on television. (Unless there is church controversy that rates as hard-core news.) And this is understandable from news media's point of purpose. Yet the church is the "keeper of the springs" of society s great ocean. Jesus called His followers "salt" and "leaven" and "light." One seldom comments on the salt but the steak; not the yeast but the hot rolls; not the lights but the ballgame being played at night. The church, the great "keeper of the springs, has seasoned society by being the first in education. Many of the great universities were birthed by the church as well as hospitals, medical schools, orphanages, and homes for the aging. Jesus followers seasoned the U S. Constitution and outright wrote the Bill of Rights through the efforts of Rev. John Leland and James Madison (whom moved its adoption). While the church is not front page news, it is nonetheless quietly going about its appointed mission in hamlet and city keeping the springs clean and purifying the water that flows into the mainstream of human existence.

Fish can lower fat levels By SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Agent Certain fish oils, called Omega 3 fatty acids, can actually lower cholesterol and fat levels. They may also prevent blood clots, slow dowm the development of atherosclerosis, lower blood pressure, and aid in preventing or treating other diseases. Fish oils are about the most unsaturated oils you can eat. This means they don’t harden at cold temperatures. These oils act as nature’s antifreeze in many cold-water fish. Salmon, mackerel, trout, whitefish, and herring are all excellent sources of these healthy fish oils. The amount of fish oils required to effectively prevent disease is still being studied. Nutritionists suggest eating fish rich in these fatty acids frequently. Baked trout or mackerel Use fillets or split back of fresh fish open to remove backbone. Salt and pepper to taste. Spread fish opened out in greased shallow' pan. Sprinkle with paprika. Combine: 1/3 c. butter, 2 T. lemon juice, and 1 T. onion finely chopped or grated. Pour over fish.

Local herbalist to share knowledge and lore By STELLA RICHARDS Rappahannock Newg Contributing Writer Have you ever wondered how it is that herbs work to help heal the body? How is it that comfrey poultices are good for arthritis, fractures and wounds and red raspberry and golden seal teas for mouth sores and cankers? M<5st animals seem to know instinctively which herbs to chew for a belly ache and which herbs to crush against their wounds. It is mainly the human race that has lost touch with an instinctive and intuitive knowledge of nature’s own powerful medicines. Until the advent of the Petroleum Age nearly all medicines were based on herbs and proper diet. Today, most medicines are petroleum based. Flint Hill’s Kathleen Maier will present “An Introduction to Herbology” on May 13 from 8 to 10 p.m. at the Washington library. In addition to exploring identification of local herbs, their uses and preparation into tinctures, teas, decoctions and creams, Kathleen will offer a brief history of the folklore of herbs. On consecutive Tuesday evenings from June 24 through July 29, Kathleen will also offer a course entitled “Our Bodies as Healers.” The course will be presented under Sursum Corda’s continuing education program, which is directed by Mary Tauss. To register for the course, which costs $60, call Mary Tauss at 675-3237. “My objective is to familiarize people with their bodies — with specific organs, with the major bodily systems and with the interrelatedness of all these,” Kathleen said in a recent interview. “Within each of the body’s systems, I will take the simplest natural remedies — remedies that are already available in people’s spice racks — and discuss their applications.” Kathleen points out that all of the culinary herbs are “wonderful for digestion.” Thyme, for example, is very helpful in bringing down a fever. In addition to herbal remedies, the course will cover nutritional information, the use of dietary supplements such as vitamins and minerals, and relaxation. “It is difficult to begin a healing process if a system is tight or closed,” Kathleen advises. She emphasizes that throughout the course she will discuss ways to nourish the body’s basic systems, prevent illness, and should there be a problem, of helping the body heal itself. The outline for the six-week course follows: 1. Introduction to various healing therapies, such as color, sound, and aroma therapy, massage therapy and acupressure. 2. Nervous system, proper breathing and relaxation. 3. Immune system and infectious diseases, lymphatics and ways of cleansing and strengthening natural defenses. 4. Circulatory, urinary and reproductive systems. 5. Endocrine systems (primarily thyroid, pancreas and such common afflictions as high and low blood sugars). 6. Digestive system. Kathleen is a certified Physician’s Assistant, graduating with honors from the Hahnemann Medical University in Philadelphia. She is now working at La Dama Maya herb farm in Luray, as well as with Dr. Susan Zimmer, D.C., in Marshall. Adrenal glands —- energy source By KATHLEEN MAIER Rappahannock News Contributing Writer A common complaint heard today is a desire for more energy. Fatigue, malaise and depression are symptoms felt by many. Among the causes to which these feelings are attributed is stress. Yet if we examine our lives in relation to those of our ancestors, many arduous tasks and responsibilities have been removed in order to create a less “stressful” environment. Most will also admit to the relaxed, content feeling after a day of physical, mental or emotional “exerdse” where stress was a motivator; an incentive; an ability to deal with a situation effectively. Stress has enabled us not only to adapt but to derive pleasure from accomplishments. The body is equipped with many defenses and supports to carry us through difficult times. Two tiny glands, the adrenals, play an essential role in our “fight or flight” response. These endocrine glands sit above the kidney (ad-above, away from; renal-kidney) and each weigh approximately the same as a nickel. Derived from these sources are aids in maintaining blood pressure, sugar metabolism, mineral regulation, muscle energy resistance to allergens and infection as well as other vital functions. There are two parts to each gland. The medulla, or inner portion, produces epinephrine, also known as adrenaline. This hormone helps to pump the heart faster, increase the amount of oxygen needed and simply stated helps to rev up our systems in order to meet the challenges at hand. The cortex, or outer shell, produces glucocrticoids, the most familiar being our own natural cortisone. When these vital organs are over-burdened by continuous stress or are not properly nourished, adrenal exhaustion is said to occur. Stress comes in many forms. Poor, unnatural dietary habits, chronic use of drugs, insufficient relaxation and epjoyment as well as (thank goodness it’s behind us) April 15. Obviously not all symptoms as stated above derive from tired adrenals. When a car won’t start, it isn’t always the alternator. An awareness of the system as a whole as well as component parts is a beginning of a greater appreciation of our capabilities to adapt, survive and progress.

vRock Mills Day Camp will study natural history BvTHERESA REYNOLDS «wl—o* New* Special Writer l"1Wter a year of mathematics, ’'Heading and social studies, Rappakuinock school children will be ofa itertd a chance to study insects, reptiles, birds, plants, trees, wildi-j life, water life and wildflowers this [ j Btonmer. Scheduled for June 16-27, the Rappahannock Natural History Day Camp will use the Shaw House , andits grounds as a base, k- ‘ -But campers will spend most of thefr time climbing the hemlock S bluffs, floating down the river, ' Mkfng up on Red Oak mountain and ..... sloshing through the swamp, accord!. ingtocamp director Lyt Wood, noting" that the camp has enjoyed the * cooperation of Rock Mills landown, ers. Tin Shaw House itself is on the property of Captain and Mrs. Howard ”W. Holschuh and it provides a Shelter for indoor activities in case of rainy weather. Otherwise, said Mr. Wood, the program is active and mainly outdoors. The camp is sponsored by two well-known local institutions: the Child Care and Learning Center and the Piedmont Environmental Council (PEC). Other support comes from the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection and the Izaak Walton League. “PEC has other camps of this kind in Albemarle, Orange and Fauquier,” Mr. Wood said. “So we’ve got that experience to draw’ on. And a lot of what w’e're doing is modeled after the Virginia Federation of Garden Clubs’ Camp Vesuvius which must be 40 years old.” “We won’t be oriented towards environmental problems such as pollution,” he said. “We’re encouraging an appreciation of nature and hoping that some of the campers will be in terested enough to learn more on their own.” Campers will keep an informal journal, supplied by the camp, to record their impressions. Visual impressions will also be recorded in the nature art classes led by local artists. Mr. Wood said he has been surprised by the interest and excitement the camp has generated. “We’ve had people call us, experts in their field, and volunteer their time,” he said. “And the Shaw House is available completely through the Holschuhs’ generosity.” Besides providing the grounds and shelter for the camp, the Shaw House and the rest of the Holschuh property is a turtle sanctuary, and the camp has adopted a turtle as its symbol. In addition to turtles anc terrapins. Rock Mills is home to bea vers, herons, geese, ducks, minks deer, foxes and turkeys, said Mr. Wood, who is a nature writer and editor and a forestry consultant. Voluntary support has kept the costs low. The camp costs only $75 for the two-week period, and there is assistance available for those who need it. Co-directing the camp with Mr. Wood is Hunt Harris, a professional tennis instructor who has managed many day and overnight camps, including the Rappahannock 4-H day camp. The directors recommend that interested children register promptly by calling Rose Ann Sharp at 675-3887. The camp is offered to boys and girls entering grades three through five. The directors say that they will need a healthy, substantial lunch, a hat, a raincoat, a knapsack, a pen or pencil and a sense of wonder and curiosity. Dumpsters removed to prolong dump life in a stop-gap measure aimea at buying time for the county’s privately owned and operated landfill, Rappahannock’s supervisors voted unanimously last Wednesday to remove two dumpsters at Slate Mills and Chester Gap. “That should help our trash situation,” said Chairman Hubert Gilkey. “It should extend the life of the landfill by months,” Supervisor Charles Estes noted. “We should have done this months ago.” On an inspection last week, Robert Forman of the health department’s division of solid and hazardous waste management estimated the remaining life in the landfill on Clifton Clark’s property at 50 to 60 days and directed Mr. Clark to .

According to a letter to Mr. Clark dated April 18, the closure plan consists of final grades, cover, seeding, erosion controls and final slope of no more than 3:1. “This plan should be completed by a registered engineer with expertise in these matters,” Mr. Forman noted. In removing the two dumpsters to buy additional time, the supervisors emphasized that the Slate Mills green box was used primarily by Culpeper residents and the Chester Gap boxes by Warren County residents. Considering that, Supervisor Estes said he didn’t think it was asking too much to request Culpeper County to handle the trash from the Amissville area and Warren County to take Chester Gap’s refuse until Rappahannock’s solid waste disposal crisis is resolved. Mr. Estes and Mr. Gilkey agreed to contact the responsible authorities in both those counties to relay the petition. Mr. Gilkey reported that a plot has been located “to lease or buy” for a landfill site. “We’re looking at one other possibility. Hopefully, we’ll be able to make a decision at our May 5 meeting.” “We’ve investigated every alternative we could think of,” Mr. Estes added. In a related development, Mr. Forman acknowledged in a letter to an attorney for landowners adjoining the current dump site that inquiries have been made by both Community Trash (which handles the county’s refuse disposal) and the board of supervisors “into the possible use of adequate (sic) land to the present landfill.” However, Mr. Forman noted in the letter to David Konick that “official preliminary approval has not been requested.” (Under new regulations whieh took effect after the existing dump site was okayed, final authorization for a new landfill takes from six months to a year, Mr. Forman said last week.) In a reply dated April 22, Mr. Konick asked if the term “adequate” was a typographical error and should have instead read “adjacent land.” He asked to be notified if and when preliminary approval “for this or any other proposed landfill site” is requested by the Board of Supervisors, Clifton Clark or Community Trash. — Daphne Hutchinson Nuclear activists’ conference A conference titled “Nuclear Virginia: The Activists’ Perspective” will be held May 3 at the University of Virginia.

Sport Will Russell wraps up three year-end titles By CLIVE CARNIE Arundfl Newspapers Staff Writer Or. William Russell wrapped up three year-end titles at the Rappahannock Hunt's races Sunday near Sperrvville. Careening down off Thornton Hill Farm's infamous mountainside, the 31-year-old radiologist from Elizabeth City, N. C., went to the lead in the Seven Corners ownerrider timber race to secure that title, plus Rider of the Year and more than likely the Horse of the Year tag for his remarkable mount, Marat. It was an impressive finish to an excellent season in which Dr. Russell rode six winners and two second-placed finishers and Marat won five races and finished second in one other. "Put that down to something that I had nothing to do with,” Dr. Russell said modestly after the race. For his part in the victories, Dr. Russell’s trainer Don Yovanovich of Upperville earned himself the new Trainer of the Year title. Marat faced a field of three others in Rappahannock’s owner-rider timber race. But perhaps the biggest challenge facing the 9-year-old Chilean-bred and his rider was the hilly Rappahannock course which threatened to part horse and rider at several occasions, and forced Dr. Russell to ride a careful and calibrated race. “It’s a tough old course, it chops and changes so much,” said Dr. Russell. “Coming down that hill, anything could happen. You have to set up for that fence several hundred yards ahead of it.” Marat swapped the lead several times with Allen Olson’s Hilliard’s Deal during the early part of the 2Vfe- mile race. But the final time the field came down off Thornton Hill Marat surged to the lead and could not be caught, rounding the final turn with plenty of room. Behind Marat John Beasley was making his move on My Happy Way and came flying up on the inside in the stretch to pass Mr. Olson and Hilliard’s Deal and get within one and a half lengths of Marat at the wire. The owner-rider timber race was the last horse race on the Rappahannock program. Earlier in the day a field of four went to the post for a 2V2-mile open timber race which saw Gary Baker’s Quixotic return to his winning form in his first start of the year over fences. Quixotic led for much of the race after the early leader, Adam’s Mystery, refused at the third fence. Dr. Russell, rider of the renegade horse, managed to get his mount over the fence, but by then Quixotic was in the lead and the field was far in front. Quixotic, under the guidance of Woods Winants, led the rest of the race, fighting off a duel in the stretch from George Greenhalgh’s Buckmarsh, making his first start over timber, who got within a length of the winner at the wire. Quixotic’s Rappahannock win came a year to the day after Mr. Baker claimed the 11-year-old gelded son of Poker-Tendentious from George Strawbridge in a race at Foxfield. That day was a homecoming in a sense for Quixotic as Mr. Baker had owned the horse in 1979 before selling it to Mrs. Ogden Phipps who in turn sold it to Mr. Strawbridge. “I always thought he would make a good timber horse,” Mr. Baker said of Quixotic who won two sanctioned timber races last year. Following his Rappahannock win, Quixotic will be aimed at the sane- I tioned races next, according to his owner. The ladies race, run after the open timber contest, saw a new victor in the winner’s circle. Riding i Henry A. Myers’ Cast Iron Girl, ! Marcella Smith led almost wire to j wire to win her first race after two i years of trying. For Dr. Myers, a I resident of Churchville, the win was i also a first, but his was after 11 j years of running horses on the local i point-to-point circuit. j Cast Iron Girl’s lead was threatened as the five-horse field swept down off the mountain when Amy Breeden streaked by on Jim Gulick’s Word For Word. But Ms. Breeden could not keep her mount on course, giving the lead back to Ms. Smith who kept her mount in front from that point on to win by three lengths. Dawn Dugan was second on Mid City, followed by Sherry Hamill on Reasonable Risk. “Boy does that feel good!” a smiling Ms. Smith said after the race. The attractive blonde jockey admitted that she wasn’t sure she had won until she crossed the finish line. “At the last fence I was still thinking I would fall off,” she said. “And I almost did. My horse stumbled, but we managed to stay up. She takes good care of me.” A pair of flat races opened the card at Rappahannock with four horses going to the post in the first, and five in the second. Nelson Gunnell wired the first race on his Sky Marker, a 7-year-old mare who seems more suited to running four furlongs on the flat than a mile and four furlongs over hurdles, according to her owner.

RCHS vs. Brentsville The Panthers hosted Brentsville on Tuesday night in an 8-7 decision that was played down to the wire. Brentsville scored first, posting four runs in the top of the first with a double, a single and three walks off sophomore starter Greg Smith. Rapp came back with one in the bottom of the first. Brentsville loaded the bases again in the second with one out, but Smith settled in, striking out the next two batters. Rappahannock added another in the second; both teams scored in the third, as Brentsville led 5-3. Brentsville added a lone tally in the fifth; the Panthers scored 3 in the bottom of the sixth to tie the game 6-6. A Brentsville home run by Cowne with one runner on boosted Brentsville’s lead to 8-6 going into the bottom of the seventh. Rapp came back, loading the bases with one out after singles by Rob Brown and Chucky Jenkins and Tommy Jenkins (who earlier had tripled and doubled) drew an intentional walk. Brentsville pitcher Rodney Queen walked Rapp’s 7th score in, but secured the win by fielding a grounder by Doug Smith hit to the mound and getting the double play from home to first. Greg Smith went the distance for Rappahannock, with seven strikeouts. He allowed 8 hits. Rappahannock punched out 10 hits, with triples by Doug Smith and Tommy Jenkins, and doubles by Chucky Jenkins and Tommy Jenkins. RCHS vs. George Mason Rappahannock hosted George Mason last Monday, losing 7-4. The Panthers jumped to a 2-0 lead in the second inning and added another in the third. George Mason got hot in the fourth, scoring 5 runs on six hits and a walk. Mason poked three singles, two doubles and a triple that inning; Rappahannock committed no errors. Rappahannock added another run in the bottom of the fifth. George Mason posted two in the seventh, then held off a Rappahannock rally in the bottom of the seventh to garner the win. RCHS vs. Clarke County Rappahannock was leading 9-8 in the bottom of the seventh before *■« Clarke County outfielder Rush came to the plate. Rush, two for three at that point, was in a tough situation. His team trailed 9-8. Runners werp on first and second, and Rappahannock’s ace hurler Tommy Jenkins. had Rush on the ropes with an 0-2;* count. Rush fought back, punching a chest-high fastball on the outside • comer deep into right-center field for a £ame:winning triple. The Panthers jumped to a 5-0 lead in the top of the first. The lead was short-lived, however, as Panther freshman pitcher Doug Smith had trouble getting settled on the mound. Smith pitched through two-rj^ thirds of the third inning. He was re-’i£ lieved by senior Tommy Jenkins*"-; with Rappahannock leading 6-5.-, Rappahannock added one more run in the fourth and two in the fifth, but allowed three runs on four errors in the bottom of the fourth, be- ; fore Clarke’s big finale in the bottom of the seventh.

Metro 478-1141 Senior citizens highlight Appalachian study By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Special Writer “When I was young. . began senior citizens as they told Ms. Kim Roy’s EMH II class at Rappahannock Elementary School about how it was “back then.” Ms. Roy’s students are studying a unit on Virginia’s history and Appalachian heritage. Included in their studies was a sampling of folklore. The children heard many stories written by Elizabeth Proctor Biggs, whose folk tales and ghost stories are set in the Front Royal and Riverton areas. The students have seen films on folk heroes such as Johnny Appleseed and Paul Bunyan. The Shenandoah Story, a television series on channel 51, has also added useful information about this area. Each child will be asking their parents and grandparents many questions during the next week as they begin to research their family tree. Ms. Roy added, ‘We’re also going to find out what the elementary school was like before this school was built and try to get some pictures of it.” The students got a better perspective of what life was like in the past after listening to the senior citizens. Student Gina Dodson thought it was important to know the way things used to be so she will be able to tell her children about it. Ms. Rebecca Jolliffe, senior citizen director, introduced each member as they told of their memories. They explained about transportation, clothing, cooking, washing, ironing, telephones, farming, family life, and many more interesting sub Debonh Fliochum for the Rappahannock News DEMONSTRATING how to use a washboard, Ora Barber participates in a special program at Rappahannock Elementary School. jects. Two examples of demonstrations were given: Ms. Ora Barber demonstrated how a washboard was used and Barbara Gentry showed how people used to repair worn out button shoes. Other members brought an iron, waffle iron, potato masher, chum, clothes, cherry seeder, coffee grinder, and other once common items to show the students. Student Thomas Brown commented, “I liked listening to them because they told good stories!” Senior citizen Barbara Gentry thought that this project was a good idea for both the students and adults. She said, “Old people always like to talk about old times. I think it’s always good to be interrelated. I think it’s good for us as well as the students.” Ms. Roy intends to culminate her unit by making peach leather, a snack that children used to eat, and have the students make a time capsule. State leadership conference held By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Special Writer The 41st annual State Leadership Conference of The Virginia Association of the Future Homemakers of America was held April 11-13 at the Hotel Roanoke, Roanoke. The youth-developed theme, “Link Up. . .You Make the Difference,” captured the spirit of the organization’s emphasis on individual members. In addition, the theme reflected the commitment of Future Homemakers of America to continue offering programs and treating is sues relevant to today’s youth in their preparation for adult life. This year, the delegate from Rappahannock County High School was Dana Cloud. Sponsor Betty Wood accompanied her to the conference. Dana and Mrs. Wood participated in workshops, skill competitions, the election of new state officers, and the awards session. Dana, FHA secretary, felt the workshops were very helpful because she learned what kind of activities other FHA clubs are involved in. “I think I will be a better officer next year because I can make better suggestions about what our club can do now that I know what other schools are doing,” Dana said.

Third grade takes field trip By DEBORAH FLINCHUM K«PP«n*nnock N«wi Special Writer The third grade students at Rappahannock County Elementary School visited George Washington’s Birthplace National Monument on April 11. It is located on Popes Creek, off the Potomac River, 38 miles east of Fredericksburg in Westmoreland County. The National Park Service operates a working colonial farm at the site where George Washington was bom. The farm re-creates the sights, sounds, and smells of the . 18th century plantation life. According to third grade chair» man Dawn Welch, upon arrival the * students viewed a 14-minute film at l the Visitors Center entitled A 1 Childhood Place. Following this in* troduction they toured the Memorial : House and Kitchen, the Weaving * Room, the Farm Workshop and the * Colonial Farm. Demonstrations « were given on spinning, weaving, t woodworking, blacksmithing, and £ leather working. » The students also witnessed * weekly farm chores of plowing, hoe* ing, planting, harvesting, and ox * driving. A visit to the gift shop operated * by the Wakefield National Memorial * Association, a non-profit organiza* tion, concluded their trip. The gift * shop sold publications and crafts re* lated to the Washington story. George Washington was bom on his father’s farm, Popes Creek, in 1732. He lived there for three and half years and returned several times while he was a teenager. Today a Memorial House stands near the site of the original home, which burned in 1779. In 1923 the Wakefield National Memorial Association was formed to recover and restore this birthplace. During 1930-31 the memorial house and the kitchen were built and furnished and the colonial garden was established. The park was officially opened in 1932. The colonial living farm was devoted to tobacco, com, and wheat. Other basic neccesities were also produced, such as vegetables, meat, hides, grain, and timber. A kitchen garden supplied cabbage, cauliflower, potatoes, carrots, and other vegetables. The present farm as established in 1968 recreated some of the scenes of Washington’s youth. The livestock, poultry, and crops are of old varieties and breeds, and are raised by colonial farming methods. The plantation’s birthplace site is outlined by oyster shells. It was a large U-shaped building of at least nine rooms before it was destroyed by fire. Eighteenth century herbs and flowers grow in the Colonial Herb and Flower Garden. The herbs were used for cooking, medicines, and scents. The Memorial House was constructed as a memorial to George Washington. It represents a typical home of the upper classes of this period. It has four rooms and a central hallway on each floor. The bricks were handmade from clay from a nearby field. Most of the furnishings are more than 200 years old. The house and furnishings illustrate the setting into which George Washington was born and the manner of life that his father led as a moderately wealthy planter in 18th century Tidewater Virginia. Students Derek Daczewitz and Rachel Coombs enjoyed watching the oxen. Rachel was also impressed with seeing examples of 18th century clothing, especially the veil that George Washington’s mother wore on her wedding day. “They also showed us how to weave and a lot of farm animals. I got to pet the turkeys!” Rachel said. Third grade student Jennifer Walker liked touring the house. “The beds were huge,” she observed. Kathy Jenkins liked the kitchen. She was interested in how they made their soap and food. Kathy said, “It was fun to see how they did things a long time ago.” The students have studied about George Washington by reading books, seeing films, researching information, and through discussions with their teachers. However, stepping back into an 18th century environment made history come alive. Jennifer concluded, “Going there helps you to know what George Washington was probably like back then.” Wakefield School stages ‘The Foreign Company’ By HELEN RUISI Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer The Wakefield School Drama Department presented their annual spring production this week. The play entitled The Foreign Company was an adaptation of a recent Broadway show that was voted the Best New American Play for 1985 by the Outer Critics Circle. The play opened with Allen Grimm of Front Royal as Englishman S/Sgt “Froggy” LeSueur arriving at Betty Meeks’ fishing lodge located in the Georgia backcountry. In tow, Grimm has morbidly depressed and painfully shy •'Chalrue Baker*“ played' by' John Landis, also of Front Royal. Froggy, whose job was to give a demolition demonstration to the U.S. Army, was a strong presence on the stage, particularly during the play’s opening scene. Grimm has taken on widely varying roles in Wakefield productions over the years, yet even with numerous lead roles to his credit one would think it would be difficult for him to affect the mannerisms and accents of an English army officer. But Grimm as Froggy was entirely convincing. Charlie Baker meanwhile has accompanied Froggy on his trip to America as a respite from his problems at home. Landis, as Charlie, also a veteran of several Wakefield productions, came across as the worn-down and worn-out cuckolded husband who was also infinitely boring. At one point, Charlie, a proofreader for a science fiction magazine, wonders how one goes about acquiring a personality. Because Froggy tells the other characters that Charlie is a foreigner who does not speak or understand English, Charlie is privy to all manner of private conversations. With two such strong male leads it would be difficult to imagine another character coming across with equal force, but Tracy Moran of Haymarket as Betty Meeks did exactly that. Betty kept the audience laughing; this bespectacled, greyhaired rube thought that if she shrieked loudly enough, Charlie would better understand her English. As the plot unfolds, Charlie “overhears” a conversation between the Reverend David Lee, played by Jason Walker of Haymarket, and Owen Musser, the local country inspector, played by Sean Dolan of Warrenton. Lee and Musser have devised a sinister plot to have Betty’s lodge condemmed so that Lee can buy it for a pittance. Meanwhile, the simple-minded Ellard, played by Sean Hunter of Amissville, began to teach Charlie the basics of English vocabulary replete with southern drawl. Charlie and Ellard, who is not so dim-witted after all, foil the plans of the evil Lee and Musser who are joined by other members of the Ku Klux Klan. In the end, Lee is run out of town; Charlie, who has received word from home that his wife has left him, finds happiness and ro• mance with* Lee’s wife, and Bettyfs lodge is saved. Several other students deserve to be commended for their performances. Dolan portrayed Inspector Musser as a convincing “good old boy” and Lara Dose of Toms Brook, although on stage only for brief periods, projected herself extremely well. Taken in part or as a whole, The Foreign Company was an excellent presentation. A tale of two countries By JOHN LANDIS Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Once upon a time, seven hours difference to be precise, a group of young adventurers (fourteen to be precise) began a journey to somewhere. Somewhere strange, somewhere different, somewhere interesting (somewhere French to be precise). Now the fourteen, made ten (excluding those who never really wanted to take the risk in the first place) finding it difficult to purchase anything with the currency that others found abnormal, exchanged their clout for that of a more suitable kind. The young adventurers, having no background or experience with their foreign counterparts, made no attempt to mingle, but instead, huddled together for three nights and three days, having fun among themselves. The explorers’ first taste of sightseeing consisted of their idea of wasted stone used to carry water across water. This feat of ingenuity left the intrepid band spellbound, and even left some filmless. Now, being somewhat fearful of the odd nourishment, some poked and pulled and sneered and laughed at the cuisine placed in front of them, while others downed one hundred and fifty slices of bread, in eight days, averaging just under twenty a day. Through the square lenses of a fleet of cameras, the adventurers ahed and oohed at a metropolis of entertaining coliseums, arenas, and theatres left behind by past generations trying to build bigger and better than the last generation. Then the group moved, and with that, a new excitement was aroused. The place was Nice, a valley of orange roofs and narrow streets, surrounded by a growth of mountains and cut off on one edge by water bluer than the explorers had ever seen. Cathedrals, churches, castles (chateaux, if you prefer the odd translation), waterfalls and cemeteries were everywhere. Some members of the intrepid band chose their plots, calling them “my spots” and swearing that this is where they might find a permanent residence. The male contingent (25 percent, again to be precise) of the group found the shore quite attractive, considering that the foreign females chose to leave everything at home, including their modesty. The excursion ended abruptly with an early morning call to leave the foreign country, leaving the adventurers with memories which will last forever.

Program develops youngsters As some of you already know, I have been coaching both 4-H club members and hunter education teams for many months now. I teach both archery and shotgun to these young people. We are not training militarists, we’re training safe, ethical, knowledgeable, and skillful hunters. I would like to tell you what it takes for one of these youngsters to become skilled in the use of the various types of firearm or bow. The first step is the successful completion of a Virginia Hunter Education course. This is a 10-hour course, and is required before the youngster can begin the basic course of marksmanship in either rifle or shotgun. In the case of archery, there is no basic course of study. A student must get out on the range and learn about the equipment on his own before starting to shoot. Learning archery is a slow process since the individual must slowly build up those specialized muscle groups that you use only while shooting a bow. During the basic marksmanship course, the shooter learns how the firearm works and how to clean it properly and safely, and then progresses to the range where the first shots are fired. Remember now, these are youngsters, and attention span sometimes is a problem. Particularly on the range, extreme care is exercised to make sure that a student does not become bored. During long sessions, or when a student is not shooting frequently, horseplay can quickly erupt, destroy concentration, and end an otherwise good range experience. Last November, many of the senior members of the 4-H Shooting Sports Club started asking me when we would start training for the 1986 Virginia Hunter Education Championship. Our first session was held Dec. 22, 1985, and in that session we had 14 shooters competing for 10 slots. Two teams of five members would be selected from this group. Each Sunday, except Easter, has seen 14, then 12, then 11, now 10 youngsters training in rifle, shotgun, and archery. Some of those Sundays were cold, snowy, windy, wet, muddy, or just plain miserable, but we never missed a training session. The studerits have now completed the hunter education course, the basic rifle course, the basic shotgun course and the basics of archery, and have been trained in wildlife identification, outdoor skills, survival techniques, arid the use of a map and compass. At this point in training, the average youngster has fired two thousand rounds of .22 ammo in rifle practice, 450 to 500 rounds in shotgun practice, and has probably shot 1,500 to 2,000 arrows through his bow. This youngster can identify 50 species of waterfowl and upland game birds, male or female, and can navigate a map and compass course well enough to avoid getting lost. His shooting skills have dramatically improved to a point where he is now proud of his shooting, and anyone who witnesses that shooting would be impressed. In short, this kid is no longer an average anything. He’s special. Now we have 10 of these very special youngsters — two teams, a junior team and a senior team. The senior team has two new members since the 1985 championship, and the seniors are beginning to work together like a glove — five individuals sharing a common goal. The junior team is composed of one previous team member from the 1985 championship, and four new members, as yet untested competitors. This team you might compare to a mitten, one veteran competitor and four newcomers to the shooting sports. Only one of these 10 boys carries my name, but they’re all mine! I’m Outdoors Bob McMeans 439-8364 proud of them, and soon the whole ; state of Virginia may also be proud. ; In the next six weeks these boys will take part in several competi- • tions. On May 17 at Front Royal, the • Northern District 4-H Shooting i Sports Festival will occupy the en- I tire day from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with shooting clinics, competitive events, \ and challenge matches. The event * will take place at the 4-H Center off • Route 522 outside Front Royal and • is open to the public. ; May 24 and 25, the 4-H state * championship at Charlottesville will ; see all 10 of these boys compete in * shotgun, smallbore rifle, and air ri- - fle. Some of these boys will put on an - archery demonstration for all the 400-plus shooters and spectators at - the event. - May 30 to June 1 is the culmination of step one, the Virginia Hunter ; Education Championship at ; Blackstone. In this competition, these boys will face 24 five-man - teams from all over the state and - will need all of the aforementioned l skills and experience to win. In July, in Camp Lejeune, N. C., ; is the North American Hunter Edu- * cation Championship, where state • and Canadian provincial winners will - compete for top honors in North America. We want to be there! The price of success is high, but - the rewards are sweet. Besides the ; trophies these guys will win in the ' days, and years, to come, the ~ friendships and the successes and - achievements they have already - shared will be memories to dream I about in their old age. I The impact these boys have had - on our local community is very grat- I ifying. The maturity and confidence Z that have grown in them shows at ; first glance. ; A very dear friend of mine told - me that I, as an instructor in the * shooting sports, had the power to ' mold and inspire in youngsters what * maybe no other force could produce. ’ The responsible and safe shooter ' is a mature and sensible youngster. ' Along with this maturity cpjpp^jfl- • creased disdpline in other areas - such as school work, homework, ' chores, and a tolerant, as well as tol- I erable, youngster. I Disciplined shooting sports can : provide some order among the chaos * in young people’s lives. Give some thought to introducing - your youngsters to a shooting pro- I gram. : As a parent, shotgun coach, ar- ; chery coach, and friend to many - young people, I can say without 3 doubt, it works.

CO I o> ■>1 cn ■ CO CO CO 00 Races Continued from page 11 Lavinia Currier won the second race on her winning timber horse, Coosaw, but then almost ruined the victory when she was thrown to the ground while trying to pull her mount up at the end of the stretch. Fortunately the young jockey was all right and she was able to celebrate her first win with nothing worse than a bruised hip. Also in the second flat race Laurent Goosens found his mount could jump when he went wide coming into the stretch and his horse, Alfred Smith’s Hill Mate, jumped a hurdle fence that had suddenly loomed in front of him. Following the open and ladies timber races, a pair of hurdle races were run. Mrs. T. A. Randolph’s Tingles Image won the first race easily, just as he did last week at Fairfax, beating Randy Waterman’s Kamal and James Treptow’s Arminius. The second race was won by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Bullitt’s Tic-Tac, making only its second start, and recording its second win. Don Yovanovich rode the winner, an act that he somewhat regretted afterwards as the broken left elbow and ribs he had sustained two weeks before at Strawberry Hill began to plague him. Mr. Yovanovich rode Kamal to second place in the previous race. Jill Waterman and Lil Fritz could have just trotted over the finish line in the junior race and they would have won. But the game young rider wanted to race her pony, even though she had no competition, and she galloped the little strawberry gelding around the course as if a pack of raucous kids on ponies were nipping at her heels. Only two horses went to the post for the owner-rider hurdle race at Rappahannock. John Branscome won the race on his Star Billing, a winner at Piedmont, although he had to urge the last burst of energy from his tiring mount to stay in front of Gus Forbush and Asterisk at the wire. A field of foxhunters battled over the timber in the race prior to the owner-rider timber contest. Robin T. Williams led from start to finish on her Mele Kalikimaka, but found her load considerably eased when her weight pad fell off as she galI loped up the mountain. Weighing 15 pounds less at the finish than she did when she saddled up, Mrs. Williams had to relinquish, the win to Mike Brown on Spreader. Mele Kalikimaka has already done a lot for her owner. Mrs. Williams whips for the Deep Run Hunt of Richmond from the 13-year-old mare’s back, and has been showing two foals from Mele Kalikimaka on line this year. One of these foals took a third place at the State Fair earlier in the month. The horse races may have been over after the owner-rider timber feature at Thornton Farm, but there was still one important race to run — the hound race. A field of 43 foxhounds leaped from the back of several pickups parked by the judges’ stand and took off after the scent huntsman Oliver Brown had laid. Surprisingly, most seemed to stay on the scent and come back to the start, rather than take off for interesting-smelling tailgates or rabbits, deer and foxes in the neighboring woods. The eventual winner was Spot, owned by T. E. Olinger of Remington. Mother’s Day \ Happy Ads! Send one to your mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, wife or favorite mom!

School budget Continued from page 1 cation means a better livelihood. Show the children that you think their education is important," Mrs. LaCava requested. Tom Junk questioned the correlation between quality education and teachers’ salaries but agreed that Rappahannock “certainly needs to pay teachers better.” The correlation between salaries and quality education is somewhat academic, maintained Lee Bird. “Last year, 37 percent of our teachers left. That’s an erosion no school system can suffer and maintain quality.” He asked that teachers be offered a competitive salary — “not equal with but competitive with the surrounding counties. ” School Board Chairman Beverly Massie noted that the county’s $1,548,689 share of the proposed budget won’t even cover total salaries paid teachers, administrators and classified personnel. “It costs us more each year and we’re still not competitive . . . The rural atmosphere is often not quite enough to attract teachers, especially young teachers.” And salaries must also be more competitive if the county is to retain the experienced veterans who give the educational program stability, she added. “Fiscal times are hard, but fiscal times are going to be harder for the next several years,” Mrs. Massie predicted. She acknowledged that the supervisors must deal with dog pound and landfill problems. “But you cannot put education at the bottom of the list every year.” In answer to a question from Supervisor Charles Estes, the superintendent explained that $48,400 under instructional funds goes to pay the tuition for two special education students in residential programs. He noted that the county had appealed both placements but lost both times. “It really hurts our entire educational program when the court decrees that $48,400 must be spent for two children,” Mrs. Massie interjected. She also noted that the proposed budget carries $5,000 for physical therapy and $2,000 for speech therapy provided to special education students. “It enhances their ability to learn but these are physical problems, not educational problems,” she maintained. Examining audit reports on activity fund accounts, Supervisor Estes was asked what happens to book rental fees charged by the schools. The rental fees are deposited in the activity fund accounts at both ? '^ir^—■ ? ! NUGGETS OF TRUTH By REV. ROBERT DUNPHY Pastor FAMILY WORSHIP CENTER. WASHINGTON, VA.

With some $41,000 collected at RCES and $72,000 at the high school in activity money, “that’s a $120,000 to $130,000 slush fund, as I read it,” charged Supervisor Estes. The principals at both schools manage the text book accounts, with signatures of either the assistant principals or the bookkeeper required on all checks drawn from those accounts, the superintendent said. In addition, the School Board gets a monthly report on funds disbursed from all activity fund accounts, he added. He explained that the text book rental system is selfsupporting; the $18,000 included for text book purchase in this year’s budget came from those rental fees. Checking the same activity fund audit, Sharon Kilpatrick pointed out that the athletic department spent more than it took in in 1984-85, despite complaints relayed to Supervisor Estes that parents and team members must raise money for necessary athletic equipment. “Maybe the equipment is not as well cared for as it should be so we're having to replace things more often, but money is being spent. It’s not sitting around earning interest in a savings account." Calling the teacher turnover argument for higher salaries a “red herring,” Robert Eastham maintained that, most teachers who leave Rappahannock do so for reasons other than dissatisfaction with the pay scale here. Still, he advocated an increase in the school budget, the money to be added as necessary to transportation services to improve the bus fleet. “Twenty-five percent or better of all our school buses have more than 100,000 miles or are over 10 years old ... We have good maintenance but there is a limit.” He related an incident this year in which a driver with three children on the bus lost her brakes as she was driving down a slight incline on the Resettlement Road near Flint Hill. “But by the grace of God, there was no traffic,” Mr. Eastham said, adding that the bus plowed a foot and a half into a bank. “You can’t guarantee maintenance when you let the buses run that long.” Of the county’s 23 school buses, nine will be 10 years or older this year and 11 buses will have more than 100,000 miles as of June 1, confirmed Transportation Superintendent Tom Campbell. The buses are inspected regularly and reports filed, as required by state regulations, he said. “A lot of mileage doesn’t necessarily make a bus unsafe,” Mr. Campbell said. “It does, however, mean higher maintenance costs . . .

That’s not to say accidents don’t occur. They can and will.” Replying to Mr. Eastham’s assertion that teachers leave for other reasons besides salary, Dean Hahn, a five-year veteran, said he felt that the longer he taught, the better educator he became. “I loved the kids and I liked What I was doing,” said the now-probation officer. “I guarantee you I left because I was dissatisfied with the salary.” Julian Brown, representing a committee of concerned parents, said the consensus among the group was that neither a school system nor anything else could operate well with the turnover Rappahannock suffered last year. In focusing on the shortcomings of the county’s schools, Mr. Brown said that the committee’s main initial thrust was directed towards the high school’s athletic programs. “None of us are objecting to a tax increase if that’s what it takes. But we do want to make sure we get what we’re paying for . . . Quality does not exist in the athletic program at the high school,” he charged. Reduction in federal funds represents a shift by the Reagan administration to the position that taxes can be better raised, budgeted, spent and monitored at the local level, Barney O’Meara said. Federal taxes have been cut, he pointed out, with the stated intent that the revenue loss be covered with increased local taxes. Under President Reagan’s influence, federal taxes are to go down and local taxes go up, Mr. O’Meara said. He suggested that the supervisors turn their attention from the school budget to other concerns — the landfill, dog pound, zoning regulations and renovation of the courthouse. “The School Board has already bitten off this budget, chewed it up thoroughly and digested it completely. Save your molars for other things on the platter . . . Take the School Board’s recommendation and approve the school budget,” he advised, maintaining that the School Board has “done a marvelous job.” Arguing that “our children are ultimately our responsibility,” Guy Foster applauded the trend towards local funding and local control of education. Before the federal income tax was adopted in the early 1900s, “people took care of their own. Responsibility is beginning to come home now where it belongs — at the local level,” he said. Stating his willingness to “go for a tax increase,” Mr. Foster maintained that Rappahannock needs a viable working budget that provides both accountability and a good income for the county’s teachers. “I wholeheartedly endorse good teacher salaries. I wholeheartedly endorse a system that can weed out those teachers with and without tenure who aren’t teaching.” Peggy Smith noted that teachers often spend their own money for instructional supplies while community organizations, students and parents raise money for athletic supplies and equipment. If money is left in the current budget at the end of the fiscal year, “could it please be used for a john in the boys’ locker room?” she asked. Questioning both the funding level and allocation of funds, Mrs. Smith said: “We are a small community ... We should have a model school system.” With an enrollment of 956 and 69 teachers, the county has a pupil-teacher ratio of 14:1, noted Supervisor Newbill Miller. Close to that, agreed Mr. Estabrook, pointing out that fewer students in advanced and special education classes throw off the ratio. Mr. Miller also recalled that Rappahannock students have shown significant improvement over the last five years on standardized achievement tests and College Board exams. “And we were publicly cited because 98 percent of our high school students passed their competency tests more than Fairfax!” Mrs. LaCava added. “I’m shocked at how the gravity of our situation has been glossed over,” countered Chris Bird. “One third of our teachers left last year . . . What we’re discussing is whether we’ll even have any teachers here to pay. Things are going to disintegrate until we can’t find teachers to fill positions . . . This year, we may lose a lot more teachers who are waiting to see what you do tonight,” Mr. Bird warned. “The taxpayer in this county has done more and more every year but the rest of the country is outgaining us,” said Supervisor Nelson Lane. “We are a well administered school system. We have very capable administrators,” Mr. Lane said, repeating a request he made last year of those administrators: Find a way to do more with less. “The best thing we’ve got going for us is that we’re small and can exercise control over our destiny although I’m not sure how we’re going to do that,” the former School Board member said.

As an alternative, Mr. Lane called for individuals to institute a school fund, to donate money and keep school costs “off the mandatory tax rolls.” Arthur Smith asked why people are asked to keep donating when money is “lying around” in activity fund accounts. Bathroom facilities have been missing in the boys’ locker room for two years, he charged. “We’re not asking for lots of money just enough to have the holes in the parking lot fixed,” he said, asking again for an accounting of how activity funds are managed. High school Principal Bob Chappel reported that half the money collected from book rentals last year was spent for new books at the beginning of the current year. In addition, money from the general activity fund has gone to cover the shortfall in athletic funds, he said, citing an expenditure of $700 for a new high jump pit. Noting that the financial records are public, he invited individuals or small groups tc his office for a more detailed report. Money from the activity fund should not be used to replace a broken toilet, according to Sharon Kilpatrick. “That should come from maintenance.” Mr. Lane’s request for private contributions as the solution to general school problems “is not a solution at all,” said Joyce Abell. “Not for a public school. A public school should be supported by taxes —public monies, not private monies . . . You cannot do more with less,” she concluded. The supervisors took no action or the proposed school budget at Monday’s meeting but set a work session for Wednesday night with accountant Wally Cox. The school budget is scheduled for adoption at Monday’s regular board meeting. Election Continued from page 1 quated water system — is of concern to most of the present and potential council members.
