Valley are not yet showing effects of the recent lack of rainfall. Farmers hope for more rain By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer The current dry spell concerns almost everyone living in Rappahannock County, although it has hit some people much harder than others. Local weather-watcher Dennis Wingfield, of Sperryville, reported that prior to Tuesday’s gentle rain, “the first 12 days of May we got seven one-hundredths of an inch of precipitation, compared to an average of 2'A inches for the same period of May. It’s like saying we needed two dollars and a quarter and we got seven cents.” That .07 inches fell in Sperry ville on May 6, but other areas of the county didn’t get even that sprinkle. Manfred Call — who in addition to raising hay on his farm in Amissville has apple and peach trees, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and com — called the situation “critical. My orchardgrass, which should be waist-high at this point in the season is only kneedeep. “We’ve had no rain since planting to drive the fertilizer down to the roots. Also, the clover which was heavy in the fields last year — which helps to fix nitrogen — meaning that we need to use less fertilizer, is gone. It’s not even any use to put on any of the herbicide ‘used for weed control.’ It too needs to be rained on to be effective on the buried weed seeds.” Mr. Call said that the “last three dry years have had a drastic effect” on his farm. Of 1,300 blueberry bushes, he lost more than half to last year’s dry summer. From two fields of strawberries planted last year, totalling 8,000 plants, one plot was “totalled” and the other, with about 2,000 plants left, “will probably have to be plowed under and started over again next year.” A raspberry patch with more than 700 plants was “wiped out ... I lost all but five plants.” Mr. Call’s corn crop, slated for sale at his roadside stand, “looks fairly good. The early planting is up five to six inches, the second planting two weeks later looks good, but the third planting, which has had no rain on the seeds at all, isn’t doing anything.” He added: “There’s no Continued on page 18 J School Board makes minor budget concessions By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Democrat Staff Writer Meeting the supervisors more than halfway, the Rappahannock School Board voted Tuesday to absorb the bulk of cuts to the 1986-87 budget in pay raises for administrators. Last week, in adopting a $3 million school budget for the coming year, the supervisors trimmed just $13,222 in appropriations sought by the School Board. By majority decision, supervisors indicated they wanted salary increases for the superintendent, assistant superintendent, special services coordinator r and principals and assistant principals at the elementary and high schools held to $1,000 each. The School Board had asked for $2,537 — an amount equal to the dollar increase proposed for veteran teachers at the top of the salary scale. (Subsequently, a $1,000 bonus , was added to that top step, bringing the percentage increase to 16 percent, well above the average 12 percent pay raise afforded teachers in the 1986-87 budget.) Although the supervisors suggested that $9,222 come out of administrative salaries, they couldn’t order that the suggestion be folr lowed. The supervisors can only control educational expenditures by category; they can’t dictate spending by line item. “It is this board’s decision over what to do with the monies in those categories,” noted School Board Chairman Beverly Massie. But she added that the board had “very little choice” in where to absorb the cuts. “Each of those line items was gone over with a fine tooth comb before we took it to the supervisors.” The category with salaries for the superintendent and assistant superintendent includes an appropriation for legal counsel. “I’d like to take $1,000 from that line item and divide it between the two administrators,” said board member Nancy Reeve. “I think we can manage that.” Her proposal touched off a battle in generosity and accommodation. “Who knows what legal counsel might be needed a year from now?” responded Superintendent Robert Estabrook. “In my case, a $1,000 raise is acceptable but I urge you to do all you can for our other administrators.” He pointed out that'teachers at the top two steps in the salary scale will get raises in the 14 to 16 percent range next year, while administrators will get 3 to 5 percent, if the supervisors’ directive is followed. “I think Tom (assistant superintendent Tom Campbell) deserves the $2,537 originally proposed.” Mr. Estabrook noted that “there’s very little difference” between the pay of the assistant superintendent and high school principal while the assistant superintendent’s position entails a higher level of responsibility. “Tom’s carrying a particularly heavy load,” the superintendent added. “I can only ask that you be as generous as you feel you can be.” Mr. Campbell countered by de scribing the superintendent as “the chairman of the board in this organization ... I carry a big load. His is bigger. I would appreciate it if the board would not consider any more for me than for the superintendent. . . I don’t know of any position in Rappahannock County that’s tougher (than school superintendent). I’m not trying to form a mutual admiration society, but that’s a fact.” “Instead of getting generous on the front end, why don’t we see how they stick to their budget in the comContinued on page 18 RACC fete set Movie fans and friends of the Rappahannock Association For the Arts and the Community will gather on Saturday, May 17, to celebrate the third anniversary of the RAAC film series at the Gay Street Theatre.

County history preserved on film, one page at a time By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer The documents contained in the clerk’s office at the courthouse are being preserved on microfilm by the Archives Division of the Virginia State Library. The project, under way in Rappahannock County since February, is part of a statewide effort to commit to microfilm “all records which the state feels are of long-term, historic value,” according to Lisa Shenk, who is doing the microfilming at the courthouse. The project was mandated by the Virginia State Assembly in 1972, which directed the State Library to “execute a program to .. . microfilm offical records of counties and cities . . , (to provide) safe storage for microfilm copies of such records . . . (and) to assist local officials in a program of creating, preserving, filing and making available copies of public records in their custody.” A fire which destroyed the Botetourt County Courthouse in December 1970 made state officials aware of the need to create a duplicate set of public records, catalogued and stored in a safe, central location, in case the original documents kept by the local governments were destroyed. The preservation effort is nearly completed, Ms. Shenk said. She explained that the project has been proceeding, county by county, with priority given to those jurisdictions which had no duplicates of important records and which state officials believed would be in the most danger of losing those documents in case of a catastrophe, such as the one which destroyed the Botetourt courthouse and the county records. Rappahannock was not a high-priority county, Ms. Shenk explained, because the county had some Continued on page 3 Group seeks funds for the courthouse By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock ^Jews Staff Writer “It’s beautiful, just beautiful!” pronounced Circuit Court Judge William Shore Robertson, assessing the changes in the courtroom on the second floor of Rappahannock’s handsome red brick courthouse. The coat of fresh white paint, the woodwork trimmed in Williamsburg green, the new ceiling and recessed lighting fixtures have left the room looking bigger and brighter. Wallto-wall carpeting has made it quieter, so jurors can listen to testimony undisturbed by footsteps across a bare floor. The raised bench and greater distance between the judge’s seat and the witness box have improved security for the men who must preside at the trials of accused criminals. Soundproofing in the jury room has decreased the likelihood that sequestered jurors will overhear attorneys arguing a contested point before the judge rules on its admissability. The alterations requested by the circuit, general district and juvenile and domestic court iuderes are in tended to ensure that justice is administered fairly and properly. And work is being carried through without changing the character of the courthouse, thanks to the intervention of a loosely organized group, dubbed the Courthouse Renovation Committee. Now that committee is turning to the county at large for help in meeting its commitment to pay for the extras that preserve an illusion of historical accuracy. Working within tight budgetary constraints, the supervisors had opted for acoustical ceiling tile and surface-mounted florescent lighting fixtures in the renovated court room. But those thoroughly modem touches would have spoiled the atmosphere of this county show piece, according to committee members. Alarmed by the planned changes to what they viewed as the symbol of Rappahannock County, they asked “The people of Rappahannock should remember that the courthouse projects an image of the county.” that aesthetics be given a higher priority. In addition, recognizing the fiscal demands faced by the board of supervisors, they offered to pay the difference between the utilitarian and what would preserve “an illusion of historical accuracy.” Interior decorator. Evelyn Willis emphasized that the Renovation Committee never proposed a return to the 1850s when the courthouse was built — minus its second floor and minus electric lights. “We certainly didn’t want to knock out the upstairs courtroom or go back to the kind of lighting fixtures that were installed in the 1930s,” she said. “We wanted a tasteful renovation, but we didn’t want to eo overboard.” However, good taste can be expensive. The difference between what the board of supervisors initially approved and alterations proposed by the Restoration Committee amounts to roughly $8,000. That will cover thetadded cost of a sheet rock ceiling with a fresh coat of paint, recessed lighting fixtures and the four chandeliers and six wall sconces custom designed by Charles Eldred’s Washington House of Reproductions. In addition, the committee hopes to arrange for the stripping and refinishing of the courtroom benches with the work to be done by prisoners at the county jail. Members of the Restoration Committee will be writing and teleContinued on page 18

French Slaughter, Jr., was unanimously nominated as the GOP candidate for Congress at the district Republican convention Saturday in Stafford. In his acceptance speech, Slaughter said, "I will continue to represent the people of the Seventh District to the best of my ability and to stay in touch with them as to their views on issues before the Com gress.” “In the last five years, we have enjoyed a significant decline in inflation and the interest rates, and tremendous growth in our economy, both in Virginia and across the nation. Most Americans have had an increase in income and in purchasing power. People are again realizing the American dream of purchasing and owning a home.” “This growth in our economy has been a result of the policy emphasis and individual initiative of Americans. And this, of course, has been a result of the constructive and energetic leadership which we have been fortunate to have from President Reagan.” “The Federal deficit is the chief remaining obstacle to a sound economy and I pledge to continue to work towards its reduction. Unfortunately, the leadership in the House of Representatives does not seem to have received the message of the 1984 election.” Slaughter noted that the budget recently reported to the floor by the House leadership would increase taxes and reduce spending on defense in order to cut the deficit — “contrary to the winning message of President Reagan in 1984.” Slaughter’s name was placed in nomination by Delegate George E. Allen (R-Albemarle), and seconded by Delegate Harry J. Parrish (RManassas) and Mrs. Betty Burkholder of Winchester. Mrs. Burkholder, Allen and Parrish are three of Slaughter’s cochairmen of his re-election campaign. A fourth co-chairman, Delegate Frank D. Hargrove (RHanover), served as permanent chairman of the convention which was held at Stafford High School.

I he two kinds of joint ownership dilter in some respects, and many states don't recognize tenancies by the entirety. You may want to have your lawyer's advice before vou take title. He will probably point out some restrictions, such as one spouse not being able to dispose of the property held as tenants by the entirety without the other's consent.

Microfilm Continued from page 1 records which had already been microfilmed by a private company. She added that the records in the clerk’s office, which date back to the establishment of Rappahannock County in 1833, are well-preserved. “I was very impressed by the condition of the records. Some restoration has been done on the old records . . . (and) the old bound volumes have been taken apart and put in pull-out bindings,” which will reduce the wear and tear. The microfilming service, provided by the state at no charge to the counties, includes deeds, wills, land plats, records of the chancery and common law courts, marriage records and minutes of the meetings of the School Board, Board of Supervisors and Town Council. The microfilm copies are processed and sent to Richmond where they are examined, frame by frame, to insure that every page is included and properly exposed. After the film is inspected, each reel is catalogued and placed in a temperature and humidity controlled storage vault for safekeeping. Ms. Shenk said that once the film has been exposed, it is “never again touched by human hands. All through the processing and inspection procedure, the film gets whiteglove treatment, since the acid found on human skin will destroy the film.” In addition to the records r. . tained in the courthouse, the slut: project also will preserve on film re cords kept by local churches, at no charge to the churches. Ms. Shenk said that church records, “especially back in time, provide better records than those found anywhere else — not so much the legal records, but those of children born, marriages, family histories, ministers’ diaries, cemetery plats, bits and pieces not recorded anywhere else. Often people don’t realize how valuable those records are. The clerk’s records only go back to 1833, when the county was established, and we know there were churches here before then.” “Many of the old church records may be in private hands, stored in attics or in barns. In those conditions it doesn’t take long for them to deteriorate. If the roof leaks mould will rot the paper, or a hot, dry attic will remove the moisture and the paper will just crumble away.” She urged that anyone who has any old records which they think might be valuable should contact her through the clerk’s office. Ms. Shenk will inventory the documents and send that list to the archives in Richmond, where experts will determine whether the records should be included in the preservation project. Ms. Shenk said that she has seen some interesting records during the time she has spent working on the project. The oldest records she has copied dated from “the late 1700s, in Shenandoah County. Because paper was so expensive back then, some of the old record-books were used for more than one purpose. If you open the book from the front, there is one set of records. If you turn it around and open it from the back, there is a different set of records — sometimes in a different language.” Ms. Shenk stressed that the copies produced by the microfilming project are intended only as a backup to the original documents contained in the county courthouses and are not available to the public in Richmond. “If nothing ever happens to the original documents on file at the courthouse, the microfilm will probably never be used. The wear and tear on the record books caused by years of use — or an accident —can’t be eliminated, and this is just one way of providing a backup.” Copies of the records will only be made available for research purposes to properly authorized people with the permission of the clerk of the court. Ms. Shenk estimated that her work at the courthouse will take about six more weeks. So far the documents in the clerk’s office have filled 87 reels of microfilm, with “about 1,000 images on each reel.” She estimated that by the time she is finished the records from Rappahannock County will have filled “over 100 reels.” Although that may sound like a lot of pages, she said that in more than a year of work in Shenandoah County, she filled more than 400 reels of film, and the project in Page County involved enough documents to produce 300 reels of microfilm. “That’s a lot of page-turning,” she said. Humane society elects officers The Rappahannock County Humane Society met on May 5 and elected a slate of officers. Vincent Hannon was elected president, Patricia Saltonstall was named to the office of vice-president, and Ann Sakalaucks was elected secretary/treasurer of the organization. The local chapter of the Humane Society was established two years ago to investigate several allegations of cruelty to animals in the area, according to Mrs. Saltonstall. Those allegations were investigated and no instances of cruelty were found, she said.

Recent discussions have included the feasibility of locating the proposed pound at Scrabble, and a public hearing on the matter has been scheduled for Wednesday, May 21, at 7:30 p.m. at the courthouse.

Alarm saves Slate Mills home “They were real lucky that a neighbor happened to pass by and noticed smoke seeping out from around the windows,” said Greg Wayland, Chief of Engine Co. 2, Sperryville, the first unit on the scene. Fire had broken out in the bedroom of a home rented by Warren Kampin, on Rt. 707 in Slate Mills, at about 12:40 p.m. Tuesday. The alarm was turned in by Joan Taylor, who noticed the smoke as she drove past the house. Her quick phone call, plus the fact that Mr. Kampin had left the doors and windows in the bedroom shut, “probably saved the house,” said Chief Way land, When we got there the whole house was full of smoke, but the fire was confined to the vicinity of the bed in the front bedroom. The fact that the doors and windows were shut had robbed the fire of enough oxygen that it was just smoldering. When I opened the door it flared up, but we put the hose right on it.” The fire caused considerable smoke damage to the house and the front bedroom was blackened and water-soaked. Several windows were broken out and a hole was punched in the roof to allow the heat and gases from the fire to vent out, but the house was left structurally undamaged by the fire. Responding to the alarm, in addition to Sperryville Co. 2, were Sperryville Rescue Co. 7, Washington Fire Co. 1, Salem Fire Co. 8, a tanker truck from Madison Fire ( o., and Sheriff J. H. Woodward and three of his deputies. Sheriff Woodward said that the probable cause of the blaze was an electric blanket. m M W W M M M William C. Powell & Co., Inc.

V) THURSDAY, MAY 15,1986 Editorials Take another look Recent developments seem to beg the Board of Supervisors to reconsider its decision to dispose of the sludge generated by the Sperryville water treatment plant in the county’s landfill. Informed of the supervisors’ decision last week, Robert Forman of the state Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste Management declared, “No way .... they can’t do it.” Noting that he has ordered a closure plan be submitted for the present landfill, Mr. Forman declared that Rappahannock “doesn’t even have a landfill.” Meanwhile, the Sperryville plant will not be allowed to begin operation until it has submitted and received approval of a sludge-disposal plan from the state. Apparently approval will not be forthcoming for the supervisors’ proposal for sludge disposal at the present landfill. Testimony from a recent public hearing indicates that sludge applied to the land in compliance with state and federal regulations does not present a threat to public health. Suggestions have also been advanced that neighboring counties may be willing to dispose of Rappahannock’s sludge. The question begs to be asked: “If Rappahannock citizens don’t want their own wastes disposed of here, why should someone else be willing to dispose of it for us?” Perhaps the t i me has come for the supervisors to reconsider their decision. Courthouse help According to the most recent estimate, it will cost $8,000 more than county government is willing to spend to preserve the courthouse’s historical integrity. A group of citizens has formed the Courthouse Restoration Committee to fund those extra appointments in the renovation project under way. With the involvement of the Rappahannock County Historical Society, donors are assured that their contributions will be tax deductible. Years from now, the county will greatly appreciate the extra effort to preserve the courthouse in an appropriate manner. You can help by sending a contribution to: The Rappahannock County Historical Society, Courthouse Renovation Fund, Washington, Va. 22747.

Rappahannock News photo/Greg Turner Rappahannock Heritage EARLY MORNING FOG above Kyser Run in Shenandoah National Forest Letters to the editor We must fight sludge To the editor: I am writing this week in an attempt to correct the insufficiencies of my last letter, for somehow the letter must have reached the Rappahannock News in an incomplete form. 1 ask the readers for forgiveness. I feel though that the letter conveyed much of what I intended to say, but through its incompleteness I have made a few angry. I wish now to balance the scale. In a desire to do something in a positive direction, 1 met with an official of Fauquier County and discussed many possibilities for the disposal of residential refuse and sludge. He informed me that they have their problems and are trying to cope with them internally and they feel we should also. I questioned the possibility of building a joint waste disposal system for a several county area, but he cited a recent study of Fauquier, Loudon, Prince William and the City of Alexandria where this was discussed and the conclusion was it was not cost-effective. Since there seems to be a price tag on life, this leaves only a landfill for Rappahannock County to use for solid waste disposal, which we do not have at this time. We must listen to our Commonwealth Attorney and not allow the land application of our own sludge or septage as it will force us to accept the sludge from outside the county. If sludge disposal in a landfill is to much of a hazard in an already hazardous situation then possibly we could erect a small incinerator for this purpose? It may be possible to temporarily transport our sludge out of the county until we can establish our own landfill, which we all know that we need, yet no one wants it near them, and it’s the same attitude in every county. The supervisors are being pursued into establishing an animal shelter, and while the idea of housing it on the same lot with a landfill is a good one it should not stand in the way of clearing up the lawsuit that is standing. Our landfill should be located in the least populated area of the county, with the proper testing to insure minimal ground water contamination, but we must have a site first! We may yet find ourselves in litigation with the sludge haulers and on the outs with the State Water Control Board for issuing permits, but fight we must at that time. And I wonder if all of those who have used legal pressure’s against the board of supervisors will then support them in their decision to protect our quality of life in Rappahannock County. RONALD FRAZIER Amissville I Grateful for support To the editor: I would like to publicly express my sincere appreciation to the person who supported me in the recent mayoral election. As you know, my other obligations prevented me from spending as much time as I would have liked on the campaign trail. As a result, many people were unaware of my candidacy until after the election was over, nor were they able to focus on my position on the issues. As a matter of fact, neither was I. Nevertheless, I am encouraged by the results! The last time I was a candidate for public office, I lost by around 800 votes. This time I only lost by 51 votes. Clearly, these election results demonstrate that my unpopularity is decreasing. Thanks again for your support . DAVID L. KONICK Castleton A generous response To the editor: The response on the part of local businesses and patrons to the RCES Playground Improvement Project has been wonderful. Thirty-one businesses and patrons have contributed $1,56C( as of this week, with contributions ranging from $25.00 to $200.00. We will be acknowledging these generous contributors next week in a block ad in the Rappahannock News. If you have not yet given and want to be part of this worthwhile project for our county’s elementary school children, please give us a call at 987-8271 or 675-3757 during this final week of our fund drive. Thank you. MARY O’MEARA & CAMILLE HARRIS Playground Business Campaign Chairpersons .» i, e . r Department budget clarified To the editor: At this time I consider it appropriate to submit a copy of the letter sent to the Board of Supervisors that was attached to the 1986-87 budget for the Department of Social Services. Any or all of us would feel comfortable discussing our budget or answering any questions anyone might have about it. To: Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors Dear Sirs: I am attaching my budget for the year 1986-87 for your approval. As always, I have kept not only our client’s interests but the taxpayers interest in mind at all times. For your understanding, the Commonwealth of Virginia has mandated certain items and programs in this budget. (1) I have now included the cost of our fuel program — this item has not been included previously. (2) A new salary scale is now in effect upgrading certain positions. (3) On line 50 of the budget you will also note that there is a state addendum budget request. This request for monies would include an increase in General Relief and Auxiliary Grants. The bulk of this money is for Aid to Dependent Children with a two parent household. The increase of the local share of the budget in 1986-87 is 1.7 percent or a raise from $62,780 to $63,922 — this includes a 3 percent cost of living raise for the department’s employees. I shall be happy to answer any questions or clarify any concerns you might have. SYLVIA N. KREITLER Director Department of Social Services Wreck response questioned To the editor: I am stunned at the way the Flint Hill, Warren and Chester Gap Rescue Squad members conducted themselves at an auto accident in the morning of April 6. I cannot see you letting a man lie under a car for four hours when he is asking “please get the car off of me.” And there was a state trooper there also to give permission to do it. You had a tow truck hooked up to it and enough men standing around to hold it. It seems to me that you would want to get the car off as soon as • possible instead of letting it lie on I him and letting his odds of survival ’ lessen. ; I have heard quite a few things | about that accident from people who ; were there. I could not believe it. If • this is the kind of rescue squad we * have I feel very sorry for the people - who will have an accident and call on ^ you. DEBBIE RACER ? Sperryville ; Fauquier tax hike likely By Arundel Newspapers Fauquier residents could face a 19 cent real estate tax increase if the Board of Supervisors decides to fully fund School Board and county government budget requests for 1986-87. But, County Administrator Steve Crosby said any tax rate increase probably won’t exceed five cents. The current rate is 63 cents per $100 of assessed value. Taxes will increase only to fund School Board needs, according to Mr. Crosby. Wednesday night the supervisors were to have held a public hearing on spending requests totalling $39.1 million for the coming fiscal year. Mr. Crosby soon will make his final budget cut recommendations to the supervisors, who will adopt the document at their June meeting. Of the total request, $28.2 million would go to funding education needs The remainder — $9 4 million -- would be spent on general government. Mr. Crosby is recommending a 10 percent salary increase for all county employees, excluding school personnel. The School Board wants a 13 percent salary increase for its employees. Piedmont neighbors Downzoning decision due The Fauquier supervisors expect to decide whether to approve several zoning changes designed to slow development of farmland at their meeting May 20. Last Wednesday, they held the last of two public hearings on the proposed changes, one of w hich would change the building density for farmland from a maximum of one home lot per five acres to a maximum of one home lot per 10 acres. Supervisors Samuel Butler (Lee District) and James Rankin (Center District), who say they will vote against the proposals, believe the five-member board wd;1 adopt the changes by a 3-2 vote. Ship bears county name Hanging in the hallway of the historic, old Clarke County Courthouse is a tinted photo of the USS Clarke County, an WWII LST. The vessel, a Landing Ship Tank, according to naval terminology, was named after five counties which carry the name Clarke; one each in Virginia, Alabama, Georgia, Iowa and Mississippi. The Clarke began her life without a name, only a number. She was LST 601 when she was commissioned in March 1944. She served in European waters, taking part in landings in the south of France in August and September, 1944, according to John Reily of the Ships Histories Section of the Navy Historical Center in Washington, D. C. In 1979, the USS Clarke was decommissioned, but she is still afloat, in active service, making her unique in her class. Instead of scrapping the Clarke, the Navy sold the vessel to the Indonesia. The Clarke now has a new name. She is the K.R.I. (Ship of Indonesia) Teluk Saleh, or Saleh Bay, in English, and carries the number 501. According to a spokeswoman for the Indonesian Embassy in Washington, the old Clarke is an active member of the amphibious forces of the Indonesian Navy. Moth spraying starts Despite shifting winds and mechanical problems with aircraft, the aerial spraying of gypsy moths is under way in Clarke County. K&K Aircraft of Bridgewater began spraying the chemical dimilin Monday over a 3,000 acre area on the western slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains between Paris and Bluemont. The county and the state are sharing the cost of the spraying. On Wednesday, K&K is expected to begin work on 4,000 more acres of Clarke County woodland. That acreage belongs to landowners who did not qualify for the state-paid program and who decided to pool their resources and pay for their own spray program. The gypsy moths, which number in the millions, wreak their havoc during their caterpillar stage. In a matter of hours, the caterpillars can strip a tree of its foliage. Successive defoliations can kill a tree. The chemical dimilin does not poison the caterpillars, which are now about one-half inch long. The caterpillars die because the dimilin inhibits them from developing their exoskeleton. Several volunteers joined state officials on the ground to mark with helium balloons the boundaries of properties where landowners decided against the spray.

June, moon — By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Recently on an interview-call in radio program, hosted by Diane Ream and featuring Pulitzer Prize winner poet Henry Taylor of Lincoln, Va., a caller asked, “How can I learn to like poetry? I’ve tried to become interested, but I can’t.” Taylor did not attempt to answer the question in dppth, but recommended the caller attend a poetry reading that evening to hear a poet he named read his work. Longing to call in to give my answer, but realizing that wasn’t in fact called for, I have ever since been haunted by the question because I think it is not an unusual one. Poetic appreciation presupposes agreement on what poetry is and a discussion of that has filled books. Here I want to allude to some of its characteristics. On Friday evening we saw on TV an interview with Armand Hammer about the National Gallery of Art’s current exhibition of Russian art, and Mr. Hammer’s part in arranging for it. As my husband Lee began to get ready for bed, he remarked, “I think that next to Lionel Tiger, my favorite name is Armand Hammer.” His amusement points to the poet’s fun with and interest in words. A poem in one sense is a word game, a use of words in such a way as to suggest more than a simple, direct statement implies: “The door is closed.” But having written that sentence, I realize even this assertion may be made poetic through associations, since it could mean more than it says. It could imply a finality to something, no more possibilities, no more intrusions, no more problems, no more hope, silence. The word game opens the listener or reader to imaginative possibilities that depend for the game’s success on one’s sensibilities. What does a closed door suggest to you? Another feature of poetry is the effect of the invention of a scene or circumstance through the poet’s evocation of it from pure imaginatibn or by figurative description. For instance, what does Walt Whitman tell us when he says, “When lilacs last in the dooryard bloomed”? He is talk Why poetry? ing about Lincoln’s death, remarkable to him perhaps because he was looking at and smelling a lilac when he heard of the assassination. Forever after, lilacs in bloom will suggest to us his grief at learning the news. Or consider W. H. Auden’s beginning of his sonnet “Macao” (the Portuguese colony near Hong Kong). “A weed from Catholic Europe, it took root Between the yellow mountains and the sea, And bore these gay stone houses like a fruit, And grew on China imperceptibly. . I am immediately reminded of a preface in Peterson’s and McKenny’s A Field Guide to Wildflowers: “The majority of flowers that grow in vacant lots and along roads are aliens. . .Some, like the day-lily of Asia, escaped from gardens, but most came unseen, as seeds mixed in with shipments from across the sea. The first known station for a foreign plant is often at a seaport or along a railroad track.” Auden, with his poem, evokes the reverse, a European colony planted in China by the Portuguese in 1557. He notes the relationship between imperialism and religion and the way, bit by bit, European institutions were grafted to an alien shore. How better to express the effect of Macao than to begin to talk about it in these brief, concrete terms: “weed,” “Catholic Europe,” “gay stone houses,” the latter replicas of hillside dwellings in Portugal itself, painted rainbow colors? A poem is not a particular thing. Some are good, some bad, some easy, some difficult. To love poetry is not to love all poems. A poem is not necessarily like one of our current balmy days, bound by its character to appeal to and please everyone. A poem might be compared to an herb garden. It warrants exploration, attention and discriminating sampling. The tastes and odors of some herbs are stronger, more pungent or sweeter than others. Some are more suggestive than assertive. That’s also true of poems. “The GrandBamBI'11” Or $1000.

Quick response a lifesaver A Washington, Virginia, woman is recovering comfortably at home after suffering a stroke in February. Mrs. Edith Baker, a resident of Rappahannock for 20 years, was living alone when her illness struck late on February 6. She reached for her Communi-Call pendant and pressed the button to call for help. In less than half an hour, Mrs. Baker was on her way to Culpeper Memorial Hospital with the Washington Rescue Squad. “Communi-Call saved my life,” says Mrs. Baker. Communi-Call is a two-way voice communication system that allows the client to talk directly to the oper<51 The Final Tribute CLORE FUNERAL HOME “The Home of Thoughtful Service Phone 825-2361 Culpeper .CEMETERY MEMORIALS - «■ ator at the Support Center. The system consists of a main unit similar to a radio and a pendant which clients wear around their necks. The main unit is sensitive enough to receive clients’ voices from rooms away. When the Communi-Call operator answered, Mrs. Baker softly told her she had fallen and needed help. Leaving the line open with Mrs. Baker, the operator called two neighbors Mrs. Baker wished to be called when needed. “Who knows when we would have found her without CommuniCall,” says Barbara Jenkins, a neighbor who responded. The neighbors asked CommuniCall to summon the Washington Rescue Squad and to notify Mrs. Baker’s daughter. When the rescue squad arrived, they quickly decided to transport Mrs. Baker to Culpeper Memorial Hospital. Still on the line, the operator notified the hospital to be ready for Mrs. Baker’s arrival. Knowing that Mrs. Baker was in capable hands at this point, Communi-Call finally disconnected the line to Mrs. Baker’s home. Then, the operator called Mrs. Baker’s daughter again to let her know her mother was on her way to the hospital. Following her hospitalization, Mrs. Baker returned home to her neighbors and her Communi-Call unit. With quiet understatement, she said, “I think Communi-Call is a wonderftil thing.” IN REHEARSAL; The Rappahannock Players’ projection of S, gthXrth”^6 C°Unty ^ ^t0 determine if there is i» Will the theater get encore? By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Has the curtain fallen for the last time? Will the stage stay dark or will the Rappahannock Players be back for an encore? . That’s the question that the county’s troupe of theater aficionados will try to answer next week with a telephone survey. Members of Rappahannock’s little theater company will be calling folks to determine if there’s support for amateur theater here. They hope that among the names selected at random from the telephone directory, they’ll find theater fans who will join and inject the Players with fresh energy, enthusiasm and commitment. The players have lapsed into inactivity since the 1984 production of Wait Until Dark, the last in a series of acclaimed comedies, dramas and musicals. “Nothing has been happening. That’s the problem,” lamented Sam 0 Connor, one of the company’s leading ladies. “We had hoped to do The Mikado this spring, but we couldn’t find a director. Now we have a director, but we no longer have an active group behind us.” “We’ve got to have more of an organization,” noted stage veteran Waldron O’Connor. “We don’t need just actors — although we certainly could use more. We need directors, seamstresses to sew costumes, set designers, carpenters, painters, poster artists, technicians, make-up artists — people for just about everything related to a theatrical production.” “But do we have enough people in this community who are really interested in theater? That’s what we have to find out,” added Mrs. O’Connor. The reorganized Players could do more than stage productions, the two pointed out. “We could organize car pools or hire a bus to take Rappahannock contingents to Washington, D.C. for presentations at the Kennedy Center, the Warner Theater and elsewhere,” Mrs. O’Connor said. “We’d like to get more involved with the drama programs in our county schools, to offer our assistance there. We’d like to bring outside productions to Rappahannock,” she said, adding that the Players could work with the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community on some of these projects. “RAAC has to do it all alone now because the Players don’t have an organization,” Mrs. O’Connor said. In addition to searching for new members, the Players’ telephone surveyors will seek to discover just what it is that Rappahannock audiences would like to see. “We need to do interesting and experimental things. We want to do original dramas written by our playwrights here. But we also must put on what people want to see,” said Mrs. O’Connor. “I heard so many people say, “Why can’t you do a musical? Something happy and gay without so many messages.” If that’s what our audience wants, then we must try to do it,” she added, noting that if the theater group puts on two productions a year, one could be a lighthearted musical. The inspiration for the Rappahannock Players came from the Library’s benefit performance of H.M.S. Pinnafore. The cast and production crew had such a great time and Pinnafore was so well received that those involved organized a little theater group for an encore. First came Peter Pan, then Rhinocerous, Harvey, Next Year, Jerusalem and Wait Until Dark with oneact plays and workshops in between. But the footlights have been dark now for almost two years. “It’s so sad,” maintained Mrs. O’Connor. “We have a big potential audience. Our performances always played to full houses. Does this community want little theater? I hope so. I think it’s just that the folks of Rappahannock don’t realize how much the Players need their help.” “We want to recapture the enthusiasm we once had,” added Mr. O’Connor. “Theater should be magic. We had that magic, especially with Pinnafore and Peter Pan. We must find it again.” The Rappahannock Players will begin their telephone survey next week. Anyone who isn’t contacted but would like to play a part in bringing little theater back to Rappahannock may call any of the following: — Sam and Waldron O’Connor, 675-3283. — Mitch and Steve Hostetter, 937-5675. — Bill Young, 937-5196. — Don Bomberger, 923-1+ 725. — Tut Harris, 987-8561+.

J 5.60 Details Of Above Budget May Be Seen At The County Clerk's Office BY ORDER: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY, VIRGINIA 4NE BRUCE, CLERK Artist’s program applauded The superintendent, the special services coordinator and members of the Rappahannock School Board heaped compliments on artist Dan Lewis at Tuesday’s meeting for his work in the artist-in-residence program at the elementary school. And Mr. Lewis returned the praise, describing the youngsters as “just great. . .They’re like sponges. They absorbed everything I had to give out and more.” His stint at the elementary school was funded through a grant from the Virginia Commission for the Arts in an application instigated by Laurie Marshall, former teacher and program designer for the gifted and .talented programs in the Rappahannock schools. As the RCES artist in residence, Mr. Lewis spent three days a week in the school lobby, working on his own art under the interested eyes of students and helping youngsters with individual ventures. Then two days a week, he traveled from class to class, organizing art projects that related to other assignments. For instance, geometry students drew boxes in perspective, kids planning a field trip to the zoo drew animals and kids going on a hike in the mountains drew rocks, Mr. Lewis explained. “The focus was on the classroom curriculum.” Noting that he worked with children in kindergarten through seventh grade, Mr. Lewis told the board:“I didn’t have a single problem with kids acting up or acting disinterested. They stuck with the program and seemed enthusiastic.” He reported that the RCES students are now “drawing a lot,” adding that he hoped he’d helped spark an interest in fine arts. “It was a real positive experience for everyone concerned) including the teachers,” Mr. Lewis said. “I think the interest is there. We could build on that.” Laurie Marshall pledged to seek money for another art program for next year. “The school missed the deadline to apply to the Virginia Commission of the Arts. It’s a shame. They have all this money— matching funds just sitting there— but there may be other money available,” she noted, adding that according to Commission representatives, C&P Telephone and Potomac Edison both support artists in education programs. She said that the artists from the Middle Street Gallery Artists Cooperative are interested in becoming more involved with the schools and will seek to find $8,000 to match a similar School Board contribution to pay for visits by eight different artists. “In the long term, the School Board must set a priority on what portion of its budget will go to the arts,” Ms. Marshall said, at the same time acknowledging that the board is “working with limited funds.” And in the longer term, she continued, the board should consider adding a regular art teacher to the'educational staff. “But it’s still good for artists in the community to participate. We want to augment what’s available.” As the School Board members looked over photos of rapt students watching Dan Lewis work and examples of art created by both students and teachers, Ms. Marshall invited them to visit the Middle Street Gallery to view the exhibit put on by the RCES youngsters. “It’s drawn rave reviews,” she concluded, noting that the display will continue through Labor Day weekend.

Carp assist in weed control Virginia pond owners with water weed problems can now import and stock triploid (sterile) Chinese grass carp (white amur). This fish is reported to be an effective water weed eater, consuming rooted water weeds and filamentous algae. The recommended stocking rate is 12 fish (9 to 12 inches in length) per surface acre. Ponds with very dense water weed growths may require more fish. A permit from the Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries, Fish Division, Box 11104, Richmond, VA 23230-1104 is required to import triploid (sterile) grass carp into Virginia. The application letter for the permit should state the number, size, pond location, and fish supplier. The permit will be issued to the pond owner and a copy will be sent to the supplier selected which authorizes him to ship only certified triploid grass carp into Virginia. Pond owners should first check with either of the approved suppliers listed below (Malone or Hill) to determine if the fish are available and the delivery dates, then apply for the permit. Only triploid (sterile fish with 50 percent more chromosomes than normal) grass carp certified as such from an approved supplier are permitted for import. It is illegal to import diploid (fertile fish with the normal number of chromosomes) into Virginia. This restriction is intended to protect our native sport fish from competition with this exotic species. Suppliers of triploid grass carp approved by the State of Virginia are: J. M.

DATTCn . . Deborah Fliochum for the Rappahannock News rUl 1 bR MAGGIE ROGERS works with second grade students at RCES. Second graders create gifts for Mom By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Special Writer Creativity flowed in Ms. Deb Heflin’s second grade class at Rappahannock County Elementary School last week when parent Maggie Rogers conducted a Mother’s Day project. Ms. Heflin explained that at the beginning of the year Mrs. Rogers told her that she liked to come into her son’s classes and do projects with the students. Ms. Heflin needed a Mother’s Day gift idea so she called on Mrs. Rogers. Mrs. Rogers is a potter. She and her husband, Kenny, work out of their home here in the county. Mrs. Rogers brought clay for the children to work with. “They rolled the clay into a cone shape. Then flattened it into a leaf shape from the cone. They used the rough side of a leaf to make a leaf print on the clay. Then they folded up the edges to make a dish. The clay will be baked and then they’ll paint it,” Mrs. Rogers explained. The students were thrilled with the idea of making something for mom. Mark Jenkins said, “This is the first time I’ve ever done anything with this kind of clay. I like to use it.” Sarah Klotko made a boat with teddy bears in it. She said, “I’ve made teddy bears out of clay PUBLIC AUCTION OF ANTIQUES Located on Route 522, off Route 211 - Town of Flint Hill, Virginia Right on Main Road, former location of B & E Antiques Auction to be held Saturday, May 24th at 10:00 a.m. Rain date-May 31 st at 10:00a.m. 1 Oak High Back Bed, Dresser, 1 Oak Princess Dresser, 1 Oak Dresser (No Mirror), 1 Oak Rocker with Cane Bottom, 1 Oak Walnut Blanket Chest, Walnut Wall Sections with Shelves, Old Oak Server, Oak Table, Wash Stand, Lots of Old Round Split Baskets, 2 Round Glass China Cabinets, 1 Mahogany Book Case, 2 Old Show Cases (5 ft. & 4 ft.), Oak Cane Bottom Chairs, 1 Round Drop Leaf Table, 1 Small Cherry Table, 1 Nice Oak Buffet with beveled glass mirror — Also has a round mirror beveled at top, 1 China Cabinet with 2 drawers, Large Eight Day Wind Up Clock, 1 Roll Top Secretary Desk, 1 Acorn Post Settee, 1 Oak Dresser with all brass pulls, 1 Walnut Victorian Table, Old Mahogany Hutch, Old Oak Servers, 2 Round Marble Tables, Large Oak Dresser with Large Beveled Mirror, Cherry Drop Leaf Table & 4 Chairs, Clark's Walnut Spool Cabinet, Large Clark's Oak Spool Cabinet, Oak Library Table, Brass Hall Tree, Oak Rocker, Formica Top Drop Leaf Table, Daizy Glass Chum, Old Round Baskets, Curio Cabinet with curved glass front, Large Old Oak Rocker with slat back, 1 Set Old Snow Shoes, Old Trunk, Old Oak Arm Chairs, 3 Ice Cream Parlor Chairs, Oak Childs Black Board, Brass Lamps, Copper Pieces, Large Split Bottom Rocker & Split Back, 1 Old Wilson Kitchen Cabinet with Stain Glass over Doors, 1 Large Metal Ice Box, 1 Small Metal Ice Box, 1 Oak Library Table, Small Dresser, Vanity Dresser Table, Oak Table, Walnut Drop Leaf Table & 6 Walnut Chairs, 1 Walnut Pump Organ, Baby Bed, 6 Nice Old Saddles, Old Quilts, Many Old Picture Frames & Pictures in nice condition, Oak Wash Stand, Oak Dresser, 1 Large Oak Ice Box, 1 Small Oak Ice Box, Child’s Oak Desk, 1 Set of Oak Chairs, 1 Rocker & Straight Chair, 1 Set of Peerles Scales, 1 Set Fairbanks Scales, Glass & China includes 4 piece beautiful Noritake China, Rose Pattern, Nice Pieces of Greer Dep., Old Butter Dishes, Stain Glass, Large Brass Candle Holders, Cut Glass Bowls & Cups, Carnival Glass, Amber Wine Decantors, Lots of Lead Crystal, 5 gallon Stone Crocks, 2 gallon Stone Crock, Lots of Fine China Pieces. 1 Colt 2 Moped - low mileage, Horse Collars, LOTS - LOTS MORE TOO NUMEROUS TO MENTION!!!

I think Mom will like it. It’s going to be from my dad, too.” Billie McKinney wasn’t sure what she would create, but she was having a lot of fun experimenting. Angela Fletcher made a pencil holder while Kelly Hall busily worked on a Mickey Mouse figure. Kelly said, “I’m making Mickey Mouse because my sister likes him so much.” Mrs. Rogers observed many original ideas blossoming from one leaf. “I started out with a leaf dish idea. I thought that would be simple. Actually they spun off making leaf flowers, leaves and acorns, leaf animals, leaf cradles, leaf boats, and leaf cars. Mrs. Rogers continued, “Now some of them are spinning off from the leaf idea and are making hot rods, ash trays, pencil holders, and other creative things.” “I try to start with something simple that leaves them with a lot of flexibility. They go crazy over working with clay,” Mrs. Rogers added. Ms. Heflin exclaimed, “Some of my students have really shocked me today by showing how much creativity they have. But after all — that’s the whole idea of this type of activity.” Drug survey in progress The Rappahannock-Rapidar Community Services Center is sur veying people to learn their awareness, thoughts and beliefs about substance abuse.

Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter ELIZABETH AND MATTHEW LIJCHSINGER of Warrenton were among the visitors to the Rappahannock Elementary School Art Show, which opened last weekend at the Middle Street Gallery. r\ I RCES students exhibit at gallery Artwork done by students at the Rappahannock County Elementary School is on exhibit at the Middle Street Art Gallery. The show, which opened last weekend, is the product of local artist Dan Lewis’ month-long artist-in-residency at the school last month. The works on display include watercolors, oils, pencil drawings, crayon, pastels, oil paint and multimedia creations. In addition to the pieces done by the students there are also several works done by teachers at the elementary school. Mr. Lewis conceived the exercise with the teachers to give them a better feel for the process that the students were experiencing as they worked with him. Mr. Lewis said that the artist-inresidence was a “rewarding experience for me, to interact with the kids. They are so receptive to art— especially drawing. Once I demonstrated how to do it they were eager to try it themselves. Sometimes it was frustrating for them. . .but they kept trying. I also tried to demonstrate the value of art in other subjects—visualizing mental images and communicating them is part of any creative process.” In keeping with that theme of art as a useful tool, Mr. Lewis planned several exercises with different classes in cory unction with their Chevrolet No ONE ELSE CAN OFFER YOU THESE COMFORTING WORDS.

The second grade was studying geology, so Mr. Lewis had the class visualize and draw rocks from an imaginative, rather than a scientific, point of view. Sixth graders working on geometry in their math class learned that geometry is a integral part of the perspective studies which they did with Mr. Lewis. “The whole artist-in-residence concept is one of integrating art into the general curriculum. The principles of problem-solving used in science and math are also involved in art. Art is researched—just like science—to figure out the best way to get from a problem, or idea in your mind, to a solution, or a result on paper. Most education happens when a real product comes irom your own interests and is appreciated by a real audience.” “There is a real need for art at the elementary level. It is an outlet for the children. . .a way for them to express themselves. They are eager to try it, but they need stimulus, feedback, direction. The teachers can help but they are limited in time, knowledge and the supplies available. There’s only one art class in the school system—and that’s at the high school.” Mr. Lewis added that “not all the kids love art, but some children are visually gifted, and the school is not equipped to meet their needs. Art is like any other talent— use it or lose it.” Laurie Marshall added that she “hopes that other artists in the community will become more involved in sharing their skills with the kids. All it takes is an ability and an interest in working with them.” She said that an ability to imagine and create images of how life could be different is “crucial for survival. When children have the experience of making pictures which are unique to them it encourages them to contribute their ideas, as well as helping them to realize the uniqueness of all people.” Mr. Lewis’ wife, Ann Eagan, said that his experience “was neat for me—to watch him go through the experience of teaching. I’m not an artist and it was fascinating to see the creative process. . . I asked him, ‘How do you teach how to draw a bunny?’ ” “The artist-in-residence program, which allows the artist to work in the school as if he is in his studio, is particularly valuable to the children,” Mr. Lewis said. The six watercolors of springtime in Rappahannock County which he did during his stay at the school are also a part of the exhibit. He explained that he sketched the works on the weekends and painted the pictures during the week. “Being able to watch me work—to see the paintings in progress—gave the kids a sense of how an artist works, how the piece develops, how the creative process produces images. I imagine it inspired some—I know they got a kick out of seeing it happen.” Sixth graders tour airport, newspaper By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Special Writer The Rappahannock Elementary School sixth graders departed from the school at 8:45 on May 1. Destination — Charlottesville. The students toured the airport there and the plant where the Charlottesville Daily Progress newspaper is printed. According to sixth grade teacher James Fountain, the idea for this trip was an outgrowth of a science unit on airplanes by teacher Greg Drescher and the school newspaper project under teacher Lucy Ann Maeyer. The students participated in a guided tour at the airport which lasted over an hour after an extensive lecture on airplanes. They were able to get a close look at several planes and observe landing and departure techniques. Most of the planes were privately owned; however, there were some commercial jets. “They showed the students how to get through the x-ray machine,” explained Ms. Maeyer. “They explained that if you try to go through three times and it keeps beeping and they can’t figure out what it is then they have the right to hand search you or you don’t get on. You have your choice — to get on the airplane or not.” At the newspaper office the students observed the printing process of the Daily Progress. The tour guide led them through the plant on an elevated walkway where the students could observe the workings of the paper without disturbing the work in progress.

I American Heart " Association WE'RE FIGHTING FOR MOURLIFE One aspect was fascinating to many: The ceiling of one of the rooms was made of recycled paper. Student Melissa Alther commented, “I thought it was really interesting that they used recycled paper in the ceilings. It’s supposed to be fireproof and soundproof.” Ms. Maeyer’s class took a particular interest in the newspaper publication because they publish the school’s paper. “They put information into a computer. They print it out. Then they cut it out and lay it out and take a photograph of it. They make a copy with ultraviolet rays. This machine will print 31,000 copies an hour,” Ms. Maeyer explained. “The machine cost more than $3, million and they paid for it in a year. In other words, they made at least $3 million profit in a year’s time,” she concluded. After the newspaper office visit they ate lunch in a park and spent the rest of their time socializing and “having a good time.” Student Sandy Dodson said, “I liked to watch all the airplanes come in. I really enjoyed going to the park. I was surprised to see how big the newspaper office was. I learned how they check out our bags before you get on a plane and how they take a picture to see if you have a gun.” “I think these trips are very beneficial. The students can’t get first hand experience out of a textbook. This allows them to talk with people who are experts in their own field,” concluded Mr. Fountain.

School Garden Club Visits EMH Classes By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Special Writer "The flower ladies are coming today!” exclaimed the EMH students at Rappahannock County Elementary School. They were referring to volunteers from the Rappahannock County Garden Club who come and work with the students twice a month. Member Mary Stuart Bain explained their function. “This class is \ a Junior Garden Club. We’ve been working with these folks since October. We have thoroughly enjoyed working with them. ” Ms. Ellie Kreamer explained that the volunteers have done a number of projects with the students. They planted bulbs in the fall, traced leaves and colored them, planted seeds, arranged flowers, discussed gardening tools and how to plant a garden, made book marks by using dried pressed flowers between clear contact paper, forcebloomed forsythia, and made centerpieces arid swags for Christmas by using a styrofoam background decorated with boxwoods and greens. Ms. Bain added, “Today they’re having their picture taken and putting it in the center of a card and then decorating the card with cut out flower pictures. ” President Sally Sharp stated the club’s piu-pose for coming. “We hope it will give the students a feeling of conservation. We’re trying to educate the children about their environment.” Volunteer Caroline Doub explained how this project got started. “Three years ago one of the teachers was rooming at Frances Lyne’s house and she thought it would be a nice thing to do. It’s just been a great experience.” “The students are becoming aware of the beauty of the flowers, learning the names of flowers, and identifying vegetables. But more than anything, they’re being made aware of the beauty of nature,” Ms. Bain concluded. The club members designed games for the children to play that help to teach about different flowers and plants. One game that the students play is similar to the game Memory. Cards with sets of two that are alike are laid face down on the table. Then the students choose a card, say the name of the plant and try to find the card that matches it. If they get a pair they take the cards off the board. Another game is called Bouquet. A volunteer holds up a plant card. If the student has the picture on their playing card they cover it up. When they have a row covered they yell out “Bouquet.” This helps with plant identification. Ms. Doub stated, “We have planning sessions to come up with these ideas. I’ve worked with it all three years and I feel the children have really seemed to enjoy it an awful lot and hopefully have learned a great deal. It’s a thrill to see how much they have progressed over the years.” Ms. Kreamer added, “The students give so much love and affection. They love for us to come and we love to do it.” EMH teacher Kim Carroll felt that the children “learned a lot about flowers and how they grow, rooting, seeds, birds and a lot of other things. I think it’s helped them socially too, being with different people and learning how to behave with other aldults. It’s good practice in trying to carry over what we try to teach them socially in class.” The students always look forward to the volunteers coming. Student Michele Jenkins said, “I like for them to come. I like planting flowers. I like roses.” The Junior Garden Club will have one more session this year to talk about butterflies so the students can watch out for them during the summer. The students were busily thinking of a name for their club to be decided upon at the last meeting. “I like it when the flower ladies come because they bring pretty flowers. They took my picture today. They’re nice!” exclaimed student Thomas Brown. Deborah FI inchum for the Rappahannock News MS.

Tyrone’s design received the first place award, while Marilynn placed second in the contest. Fifth graders design tee-shirts By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Special Writer “It gave us a chance to do our own things,” student Alice Reeve commented about her school project. The project was a tee shirt design contest open to all interested Rappahannock County Elementary School fifth grade students. Teacher Lois Atwood described the contest. “I knew that the students were interested in tee shirts and I thought they would enjoy designing their own. I also thought it would be a good way for them to realize that art can be used later in life in designing shirts, cars, etc.,” Ms. Atwood explained. “I had a lot of tee shirts so I decided to use the resources that I had. I displayed the shirts on a bulletin board and then I told the children to draw a design of their own on paper that they would like to have on a shirt.” Ms. Atwood explained that the shirts were judged and a prize given to the two top winners. Laurie Marshall and Artist-inResidence Dan Lewis judged 112 design entries. The drawings varied from pictorial designs to philosophical messages. The judges chose Tyrone Starks as first place winner and Marilynn Scott for second place. Ms. Marshall suggested to Ms. Atwood that she follow through by actually putting the winning designs on shirts. Winner Tyrone Starks said that judge Dan Lewis especially liked the caption on his entry. It said, “I like cultures other than mine.” “It just came to me out of my mind,” Tyrone said. The remaining space was filled with Indian designs that he had seen in his Social Studies book. He added, “We get to wear our tee shirts home on Monday!” He received a stop watch as a prize. Marilynn Scott, second place winner, received an all day twirl lollipop for her alphabet design shirt. “I was just looking at my class paper and I started thinking about the ABC’s so I just started writing them down. 1 wrote them sideways, upside down, and I used different colors,” Marilynn explained. Ms. Atwood concluded, “I was really surprised about how many children participated in the contest and how enthused they were. Many of the students looked forward to coming in the room every day to see the new drawings that had been added to the entries.” MIDDLEBURG HORSE TRIALS AT GREAT MEADOW THIS SATURDAY & SUNDAY Join us ror an exciting two days’ exhibition of the fastest growing horse sport in America. “Eventing” continues the challenge of stadium jumping, the elegance of dressage and the excitement of cross country —all on a wide open spectator course that lets you get right in the middle of the action.

As a member of the Virginia 4-H Shooting Sports Development Committee, I represented Virginia in the archery area. The seven members of the committee, received extensive and comprehensive training in each area of expertise — archery, rifle, pistol, shotgun, muzzleloader, hunting skills, program coordination, and the training of other volunteers. Monday through Friday, 16- to 18-hour days made each of us appreciate the quality and dedication of the training staff and of the donors who made the seminar possible. The seminar was called the Southeast District 4-H Shooting Sports Workshop. However, state training teams came from all over the country — Michigan, Minnesota, Kansas, Texas, Indiana, Illinois, West Virginia, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Kentucky, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Vermont, Massachusetts, Tennessee and Oklahoma. From those state delegations, more than 140 of us represented the growing interest in the shooting sports programs involving 4-H vouth. The donors represented every area of the shooting sports from bullets (Homady) to firearms (Remington) and from arrows (Easton) to bows (Bear). Those donors made possible the entire workshop from soup to nuts, with cash and merchandise donations of more than $140,000.

Poisoning of eagles Pesticide poisoning in the tidal waters of Virginia has been linked to Furadan 15G. The pesticide finds its way into the food chain, through run-off and ingestion by small rodents and ground feeding birds, which are then preyed on by the bald eagles. At least five eagles have been poisoned by the Furadan 15G, as it progressed through the iooa cnam. The U.S.D.A. and Consumer Services suggests that when using Furadan 15G, fanners should carefully follow label directions to avoid excess materials entering the food chain and causing accidental poison mgs.

With hot and cold, alternately, the water temperatures have not changed a great deal in a week. • Chickahominy Lake — Crappie and bluegill are still strong with bass fishing remaining slow due to largemouth spawning activity. Chickahominy River is producing a lot of cats and bream of all kinds. Some bass are starting to show up in the lily pads. • Back Bay — Bluegills are hitting on crickets and crappie on minnows. The east side of the bay is producing some bass on spoons and spinners. • Rappahannock River — The shad and herring are still running, but not very strong. Bass and crappie in the lower river are improving. Smallmouth fishing in the upper river is improving, but the fish are generally small and spotty to locate. • Occoquan River and Reservoir — Crappie and cats aplenty, few bass. • Lake Anna — This week’s hotspot! All fishing described as excellent! Bass are very active — catches over seven pounds on crankbaits and spinners. Crappie jumping in the boat — almost! Many tournaments last week produced some spectacular stringers of bass, crappie, and bluegill. Some huge cats have also been caught. • Potomac River — Largemouths are very active on spinners and rubber worms. Walleye are starting to appear on a regular basis, in the two and a half to three pound range.

Students shine in Special Olympics By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Special Writer Rappahannock Elementary School’s EMH I and II students participated in a Special Olympics track and field meet held May 3 at Woodberry F orest. Teacher Kim Carroll talked about this special day. “We started practicing two months before the event. We had the kids run every day and practice with the softball throw. We put them into heats and timed them. The last week before the Special Olympics we took the kids to the high school and practiced on the track so they would be familiar with running on a track. We also used the starting gun so they wouldn’t be frightened when they got to the games. That really benefitted them because it also gave them practice staying in' their lanes,” Ms. Carroll commented. There were other events going on at the Olympics. A ventriloquist entertained and Smokey the Bear was there. Frisbee, soccer and volleyball clinics were set up. When the participants finished a race and had a long time before their next ra.ce they could attend one of these clinics. The Olympics events were set up according to age groups and sexes. •The categories were ages 8-12, 12-15 and adults. Competitive events included softball throw, long jump, 50 meter run, 100 meter run, shot put and high jump. A relay race also took place with four girls on the team. Results of the Rappahannock County students were: Thomas Brown: first-shot put, second-softball throw and 100 meter, third-50 meter. Tony Brady: second-50 meter and 100 meter and softball throw. Todd Smoot: first-shot put and softball throw, second-50 meter, fifth-100 meter. John Coombs: first-50 meter wheelchair race and softball throw. Peggy Gallihugh: second-50 meter and 400 meter relay, third-standing long jump, fourth-100 meter. Gina Dodson: first-standing long jump, second-100 meter and 400 meter relay and high jump. Kim Stringfellow: second-400 meter relay, third-100 meter and softball throw. Michelle Jenkins: first-long jump, second-200 meter and 400 meter relay, fourth-high jump. According to the students, participating was as much fun as winning. Gina Dodson said, “I got to run with the torch. Nobody else from my school did that.” “I .ran a race!” exclaimed Todd Smoot. Peggy Gallihugh enjoyed going because “I got to see a lot of people.” “I liked throwing the softball,” commented Kim Stringfellow. Teachers Debra Irby, Mary Ann Decker and Lois Atwood accompanied the students to the Olympics. Ms. Irby and Ms. Decker have attended the Olympics for several years and this was Ms. Atwood’s first experience. They agreed that the event was inspiring and they were proud of all of the participants. Ms. Carroll stated, “The kids seemed to have a really good time and enjoyed it a lot. They all participated and they all came back with ribbons in their events. ” “It gave them a chance to shine!” concluded EMH teacher Kim Roy. The state Special Olympics will be held June 6-8. Thomas Brown, Michelle Jenkins, John Coombs and possibly several other students will be attending. RCHS athletic banquet May 28 The annual Rappahannock County High School Athletic Banquet will be held May 28 at 6:30 p.m. at the Rappahannock County Elementary School cafeteria.

These sections of the law require that the name, age, and other pertinent information be collected for each child one through 19 years of age and handicapped children ages 20 and 21 years of age. Statistics from the census will be used by the State in determining the distribution of the one percent State sales tax money and Other monies to the counties, cities, and towns. Therefore, it is important to all residents that an accurate census be made so that the County of Rappahannock receive its fair share of the monies. Statistical summaries from the census will be used by the county of Rappahannock and by the State of Virginia in planning to meet future educational needs and as an aid in formulating future educational policies at the local and state levels, respectively.

But in the review of line items, the idea was dropped. To absorb the categorical reduction made by the supervisors, the School Board took $1,000 from the salaries of the two administrators, $500 from the line item for legal services, $500 from contemplated expenditures for postage and telephone and $74 from the line item for school census. That decision leaves the superintendent and assistant superintendent with pay raises of $1,537, bringing what Mr. Estabrook will get in 1980-87 to $39,898 and Mr. Campbell’s salary to $33,990.

RCES Assistant Principal Betty Settle, with less experience and lacking full certification for her post, was given a $1,200 increase, raising her stipend to $20,877. The School Board tabled a decision on where to cut line items to make up the remaining $2,148 until next month’s meeting at which time word is expected on Piedmont Voca tional Center’s final budget. Mrs. Massie predicted Rappahannock’s share of the regional school’s operating costs — which falls in the same category as teachers’ and administrators’ salaries — could be as much as $3,000 lower than originally anticipated. Action was likewise deferred on the $2,000 for the School Board’s contribution to the seventh grade’s annual Williamsburg trip. “The supervisors thought the money should be spent educationally and not on the Williamsburg trip,” said Mrs. Massie. “But that’s not a decision we have to make at this time,” she said, suggesting that it be postponed until later in the year when the picture of transportation expenditures becomes clearer. W eather Continued from page 1 sense in planting any more corn until we get some rain.” Mr. Call has installed an extensive irrigation system to ensure that his crops will at least get some relief from the drought. “It’s not cheap, but when you’re dealing with crops like berries (some of which require as long as four years before they bear substantial amounts) irrigation is the only way to protect your investment.” As if the dry weather has not been trouble enough, Mr. Call said that two weeks ago he had to use his irrigation system to protect his budding strawberry crop from a severe late chill. He used the same wellknown technique of spraying the fruit with water to prevent it from freezing which is used by citrus growers in Florida during freak cold snaps. In spite of the use of the irrigators, he estimated that he may have lost “as much as 50 percent of the strawberry crop.” In contrast to Mr. Call’s plight, Eddie Jenkins, who manages Clifford Miller’s farm in Sperryville, said that he expects to “about double” the yield from his first cutting of alfalfa compared to last year. He said that despite the recent drought, “we had good rains earlier in the year — after we had fertilized. My orchardgrass and clover is up over the knee.” Mr. Jenkins added, however, that most of the other farmers he has talked with said that they expected to get about half their usual crop. Asked about the outlook if the drought continues, Mr. Jenkins replied, “The season will be short.” Elaborating on Mr. Jenkins’s observations about earlier rains, Mr. Wingfield said that “January, March and May have been on the dry side. In February we had 3.26 inches of rain, and 3.86 in April — both are a bit above normal.” But Mr. Wingfield has recorded only .62 inches of precipitation in the last 27 days. Last year’s rainfall in May totalled 4.89 inches. “Figure an average of three to four inches per month for spring and early summer,” the amateur meteorologist continued. So far for the year he has recorded 10.66 inches of precipitation, “compared to a yearly average of 14 to 15 inches.” He noted also that average tern peratures are running about one degree per day cooler than last year, despite several recent hot spells. The lack of rain is certainly not limited to Rappahannock County. Last week a brush fire started by an overturned cookstove burned 4,475 acres in the Shenandoah National Park just south of Elkton. The fire, which took several hundred firefighters almost a week to control, is still not completely out, according to Chief Park Ranger Larry Hakel. “People are still out walking the fire lines. We still had smoke last night, but the hot spots are contained well within the fire lines.” Mr. Hakel said that for several days last week all open fires, including cookstoves and fires in the campgrounds, were prohibited because high winds and the severe drought. He added that “today’s (Tuesday’s) rain will be a help,” but that the Park Service is still advising campers to be “extremely careful, especially in the backcountry.” The United States Geological Survey, which maintains river-flow monitoring stations at 174 sites across the country, reported 19 record low stream flows in April, all in the Southeast. The Rapidan River station in Culpeper is 46 percent below normal flow for this time of the year, according to Gail Wendt, public affairs specialist for the USGS. “And that station is the closest to normal flow reported from any monitoring stations in Virginia,” she said. “The South Fork of the Shenandoah at Front Royal reported 50 percent below normal, and the James River at Cartersville, which is frequently used as a gauge for this part of the state, is flowing at 62 percent below average. If the current flow continues at that site through the month it would break a record which has stood since 1930.” Despite the grim litany of drought-associated problems, local orchardists are expecting “a bumper crop,” according to Birgitt Thornhill, cooperative extension agent. Manfred Call agreed: “Last year, we had a bad freeze at blossom set, and there were no peaches at all. We got a good (blossom) set on the peaches this year — since the trees didn’t have any load last year.” Mr. Call added that his apple trees also seem to be bearing well, although it is the first year that he will be able to harvest fruit from his trees.

Those who may be missed by the canvass but would like to contribute should send their tax deductible gifts to the Rappahannock County Historical Society (Courthouse Renovation Fund), Washington, Va. 22747. “The Historical Society has gen erously offered to help with this project to ensure that donors will qualify for a tax credit,” explained committee member Werner Krebser. “The people of Rappahannock should remember that the courthouse projects an image of the county,” Dr. Krebser said. “We can all take credit and pride in that image by contributing to the renovation fund.” Be Resourceful.

If the drivers stay healthy, “that by itself might take us most of the way . . . without cutting any trips that have been traditionally approved by this board.” After a two-hour closed-door session that stretched until 11:45 p.m., the board voted unanimously to: • Accept the resignations of RCES physical education aide Joan Welch, cafeteria worker Nellie Graves and high school physical education teacher Joel Vorhees.
