The County Family Newspaper Founded 1877 Shotgun blast kills Sperryville man Suspect questioned; no charges filed By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Police and prosecutors Wednesday morning continued to investigate Saturday night’s fatal shooting of a Sperryville man. J Aurelious Worth Timmons, 54, apparently was hit in the neck and head with a shotgun blast as he stood on the front porch of his home on Route 231, 2.2 miles north of the Madison County line in Rappahannock. Authorities are questioning Harold Voyd Brown, 38, of Box 118, Syria, in connection with the shooting. But Brown had not been charged with the shooting as of Wednesday morning, officials said. He remains in the Page County Jail at Luray on two warrants from the Madison County Sheriffs Department. Those warrants allege a misdemeanor assault and a felony attempted malicious wounding, according to Madison County Commonwealth Attorney Caroline Watts. Lt. W. R. Jenkins, an investigator with the Madison County Sheriffs Department, said that the complainant in both those warrants is Brown’s wife, Deborah. Madison General District Court Clerk Cindy Woodard explained that because the matter is before the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court, records relating to those charges are sealed. Rappahannock County Commonwealth Attorney Peter Luke said Tuesday no charges relating to Saturday’s shooting have been filed. Mr. Luke hopes to convene a grand jury June 20 to consider evidence which may lead to an indictment in the case, he explained. Brown has been charged with brandishing a firearm in an unrelated Rappahannock incident June 1, which involved Mr. Timmons’ son, Gary Worth Timmons. In a warrant sworn before Magistrate F. W. Eldred on June 2, Gary Timmons alleged that Brown fired a weapon at him as both men drove their vehicles along Route 231 the day before. Brown was arrested June 2 by Lt. Jenkins. He was released on his own recognizance the same day. A hearing on that charge is scheduled June 17 in Rappahannock County General District Court. The shooting Saturday occurred at about 9:55 p.m., according to a statement released Monday by Sgt. G. H. Gregory of the State Police in Warrenton. Trooper H. A. Newlin was the first officer on the scene. Rappahannock County Sheriffs Deputies Ray Jackson and Jeff Brown arrived just after Trooper Newlin.

County personal property tax assessments to increase By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer The supervisors worked magic with arithmetic at their budget work session last Wednesday and lopped six cents off the proposed real estate tax rate without making substantial budget cuts. Also, the personal property tax rate will drop from $5.60 to $2.10. But that personal property rate for 1986 will be assessed on 100 perNeighbor helps stop trailer fire Quick action by a neighbor and a fast response by the Amissville Volunteer Fire Department saved Robert Croston’s trailer from burning to the ground Monday morning. Mr. Croston had already left for work when a neighbor in the Amissville Trailer Park noticed smoke seeping from the windows as he drove past on his way to work. Amy Wilson turned in the alarm at 7:24 a.m. and the Amissville volunteers were on the scene within minutes. “The kitchen was partially involved when we arrived,” said James Stringfellow, who was one of the first firemen on the scene. Firefighters Carl Grohs and Adrian Butler entered the trailer and found it full of smoke. “There was no visibility,” Mr. Butler said. “We kissed the floor and crawled. . .you could barely see the glow of the fire.” “There was more smoke than fire,” Mr. Grohs added. The fire, which apparently started in or behind a toaster-oven, was quickly extinguished. Fire damage was limited to the kitchen, although the entire trailer sustained extensive smoke and water damage. Mr. Stringfellow expressed satisfaction with the job the Amissville company did in saving the trailer. Continued on page 16 cent of the assessed value of licensed motor vehicles, bringing higher tax bills to Rappahannock citizens and $90,000 extra to the county’s general fund. In the past, the personal property rate has been applied only to 25 percent of the value of motor vehicles. Initially, the supervisors had proposed to raise that assessment ratio to 37'/2 percent to generate the $90,000 they needed to keep the real estate tax rate steady at 58 cents per $100 of assessed value, this year’s levy. But at Wednesday’s session, Commissioner of Revenue Beverly Atkins protested the move. Personal property bills would jump 50 percent, and surprised taxpayers would direct their ire at the commissioner of revenue, blaming that office for the extra drain on pocketbooks and wallets, she said. Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter THE FIRE in Robert Croston’s trailer started up against this wall. It was possibly caused by a faulty toaster-oven. If the assessment ratio is to be upped, Ms. Atkins said, the board must go on record with a resolution requesting the increase. Supervisor Charles Estes asked why Rappahannock is still taxing personal property at 25 percent of value when real estate is taxed at fair market value. “I think it’s ancient history here. It’s been that way for a long time,” replied accountant Wally Cox. “I can’t remember why it started.” He noted that assessment ratios on personal property vary throughout the state with many counties now going with 100 percent of value. Taking into account the discount, Rappahannock’s current true effective rate on licensed vehicles — the only personal property taxed here — is $1.40, the accountant said. If the board wants to assess at full value, “you’ll have to raise the rate to $2.10 to generate the $90,000 you want,” he advised. That action will not require readvertisement, even though its effect is to raise personal property taxes over what was advertised for last week’s budget hearing. The rate must be readvertised only if it is raised; in this case, the rate is being lowered from $5.60 to $2.10. Continued on page 16 Pinching pennies County school officials expect 0.5 percent surplus By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock News Special Writer “Please don’t tell me that we present the supervisors with an inflated budget,” said School Board Chairman Beverly Massie after hearing that county schools expect to close out the 1985-86 school year with less than a 0.5-percent surplus. Mrs. Massie’s remarks were prompted by Superintendent Robert Estabrook’s projection that, after final pay-out in two weeks, an estimated $15,000 would remain of the almost $3 million allocated for the county’s schools in 1985-86. “Believe, me, it’s a day-to-day struggle to administer a budget this close,” said Mr. Estabrook. “Tor wards the end of the year, Tom (Campbell, assistant superintendent), Bonnie Hahn (school bookkeeper) "and I sweat bullets.” “It’s scary,” commented Mrs. Massie. “My name is on those checks, too.” Mrs. Massie added that the situation of a very tight budget is complicated by the sometimes confusing way in which state and federal increments are received. Mr. Estabrook mentioned a case nearby, where Madison County was sent the vocational education money intended for Orange and vice versa. “This turned into a problem almost impossible for the counties to solve,” said Mr. Estabrook. He ex plained that the administrators don’t always know exactly when to expect which funds. “And, of course, it’s adjusted by discrepancies in enrollment and attendance,” said Mrs. Massie. “With a budget this close, it could be devastating to base our budget on one set of numbers, and then have a lower enrollment.” Mr. Estabrook was effusive in his praise for Mrs. Hahn and for elementary and high school secretaries, Martha Kidwell and Linda Gray.

The carnival is the first of the season in Rappahannock County, and the members of the fire and rescue squad are anticipating a fun-filled week of entertainment for the entire family. Thursday is a special ride night, with “all you can ride” for $5. In addition there will be live music by Tammie Jo’s Gospel-ets. Friday’s festivities will feature the firemen’s parade, which begins at 1 p.m. The parade will feature floats by many organizations around the county, among them the Amissville Ruritan float, which will celebrate the 25th anniversary of that organization’s service to the community. On Saturday the carnival will begin at 1 p.m., with a special matinee until 5 p.m. The evening will feature another “all you can ride” for $5. The culmination of the evening will be the coronation of the carnival queen. In addition prizes will be given away. All proceeds from the carnival will go to the Amissville Volunteer Fire Department’s general fund. Everyone is encouraged to come and enjoy the festivities.

Kennel awaits approval By EAP„HNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock soon may find a home for its stray dogs. The county is one of two jurisdictions in Virginia without a state approved kennel. Because of that Rapphannock faces a suit by the Virginia Federation of Humane Societies. But the county is attempting to hnd acceptable quarters for unclaimed animals. Next week a state veterinarian is expected to inspect a commercial kennel just across the Fauquier County line. . County officials hope the kennel will meet state standards for board ing Rappahannock’s stray dogs. If all goes according to plan, the county probably will sign a one-year contract with the kennel, with an option to renew for a second year. The kennel would charge the county $5 a day per dog. During the Board of Supervisors’ June 4 budget work session, Supervisor Hubert Gilkey said he again met with kennel owner John Klein. Mr. Klein suggested the construction of fenced dog runs and a cinder block wall to separate his dogs from the pound strays, said the chairman. The stravs would be housed in existing kennel building and runs, which have electricity, heat, water and an approved septic system. Dog warden Jack Bruce would haul dogs to the kennel and pick up unclaimed animals after five days to return them to the gas chamber on his farm for disposal. Mr. Gilkey will work up a cost estimate for the kennel modifications and include it in the 1986-87 budget. The board will delay action on the contract with Mr. Klein pending approval from the state veterinarian. “It’s really all just talk right now until someone comes to inspect (the commercial kennel),” said Mr. Gilkey. WSA fields complaints, faces order By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Faced with a “stop work” order from the county building inspector, Rappahannock’s Water and Sewer Authority agreed to buy 250 locks for electrical control panels of the gravity flow collection system at homes and businesses served by Sperryville’s sewage treatment plant. Rappahannock Building Inspector Emil Smet said the locks must be installed to meet requirements of the Uniform State Building Code, according to WSA Chairman Martin Woodard. Without locks, electrical wiring in the control panels is vulnerable to tampering by children who might be electrocuted, the inspector added. Mr. Woodard said that until the locks are installed, lids on the panels must be secured with wire twists. After the building inspector determines that the locks are in place, the “stop work” order will be lifted, he rsaid. Mr. Smet also notified WSA that “each pump disconnect needs to be inspected before it can be electrically connected.” Rather than scheduling the seven or eight individual inspections per day that would require, the WSA members proposed to discuss with Mr. Smet the possibility of inspection after connection. That would prevent delays in work on the sewer system and enable the building inspector to check several connections per visit, the WSA members pointed out. Tom Junk of Sperryville castigated WSA members at length about placement of the lighted electrical control panel that must be installed with each septic tank and pump chamber. “We get that homeowner physically out in the yard and let him or her pick out the best possible, workable place to put these things. We explain what it consists of — the tank, the pump chamber and the switch box — and then the contractor comes along and does his very best to put it all exactly where the homeowner has asked that it go,” said WSA member Carson Johnson. Mr. Junk acknowledged that “the engineering people have bent over backwards” to return the tank sites to acceptable condition. “The main thing is the light sticking up there,” he complained. He charged WSA had made a mistake in not clearly explaining the light placement to property owners who already have had the units installed. “No one on the Authority knew about these lights,” Chairman Woodard replied. WSA approved advertising for local electricians to bid on relocating the lighted control panels already installed without specific property owner approval of the location. WSA members also directed attorney Douglas Baumgardner to draft a document that attests the installation site of the lighted control panel is acceptable. Landowners who have not yet had the septic tank and chamber pumps installed at their homes and businesses will be asked to sign the agreement before installation. When the county’s insurance expired at midnight June 4, WSA’s “piggyback” policy also ended. Bob Strider, acting director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission, said he had contacted four insurance companies and asked them to send a representative to Thursday’s WSA meeting to outline coverage proposals. “None was willing to provide coverage for the WSA, much less by the deadline of June 5,” he said. The county has agreed to include the WSA on its policy for property damage insurance, said Mr. Strider. But, he noted, that leaves the Authority — like the county — without general liability or government officials liability until at least July 1, when coverage administered by the Virginia Municipal League (VML) begins. “That kind of leaves us hanging in the wind!” said WSA member Del Price. He pointed out that without liability insurance, personal assets of government officials are at risk. “I wonder what would happen if all our local government officials resigned until July 1?” asked Bob Dennis. WSA unanimously agreed to give Authority officers the power to take necessary action to get full insurance coverage as soon as possible. That enables the officers to join VML’s insurance pool program when it’s available. In other action, the WSA: • Hired Timothy Falls as apprentice operator of the sewage treatment plant, effective June 16. • Approved an accounting system developed by Dennis Baily, who estimated the “pathetically simple” system would require only four days of bookkeeping work for each quarterly billing. • Agreed to charge inte1 st on unpaid bills. During last week’s public hearing on user fees, business owners complained about what they considered excessively high charges. Maurice O’Bannon estimated then that Country Manor, Parkway and the Emporium would be paying 15 percent of total operational costs, based on the number of EDUs (equivalent dwelling units) each was assigned. WSA decided last Thursday to set the per EDU monthly charge at $12.85. But the Authority agreed to change its EDU assignment formula. Initially, each business with more than three employees was to be given one EDU per each 20 feet of road frontage; the increment was dropped to one EDU per each 30 feet. That will reduce the EDUs assigned to Parkway from eight to six, the Country Manor from 12 to 10 and the Emporium from 12 to nine. Minority Leader of the Virginia House of Delegates, Raymond R. “Andy” Guest (R-Front Royal), today criticized the Baliles Administration’s proposal to give state agency heads the authority to place state employees on extended leave without pay for reasons of “agency convenience.” “This proposal represents another attempt by the Democrats to politicize the state government and to subject our state employees to more partisan political pressures,” said Guest. The proposed change in personnel policy follows on the heels of last year’s controversial “Patronage Bill” which took approximately 500 top and intermediate level state employees out from under the statutory grievance procedure and made them political appointees. “Not only is this new proposal unfair to the dedicated state employees who may be put on leave without pay for up to 13 weeks as punishment for not toeing the Democratic party line,” said Guest, “but it is unfair to you and me, as Virginians, because it discourages efficiency and integrity in our state government.” Guest called upon Virginians to oppose the personnel policy and cited the recent and unprecedented purges of “personnel-related” documents from public record, by officials of the Baliles Adminstration, as further evidence of increased politicizing of the state government. “We do not want a political spoils system in Virginia,” he said.

Cheri and Martin Woodard, proprietors of Faith Mountain, graciously offered the homeless market their shady side veranda, and the market will occupy that space every Saturday from 10 to 6. Now in its third season, the market opens with a good selection of fresh local produce: lettuce, peas, snow peas, spinach, radishes and broccoli. Later in the summer other seasonal vegetables, fruits and berries will appear. Several new members have joined the market, which is a cooperative effort, adding greater variety to the vegetables and greater volume of baked goods. The bakers will produce the old Farmers’ Market favorites, now packaged under the Farmers’ Market label, but baked at home with the same care and fresh ingredients as before. There will be freshlybaked French, whole wheat, English muffin and Italian peasant bread. New this year are whole grain seed rolls, for sale individually or by the bag. Cakes, pies and cookies will vary according to whims of the bak-. ers and the ingredients of the season. Pure apple cider will be for sale in the fall and Lyt Wood’s local honey will be available through summer and fall. The small farmers are willing to consider suggestions and special orders. Talk to any of them at the stand during working hours, or call Joyce Abell, market manager, at 987-8408. Defense drill set Sunday Members of the Warrenton and Winchester units of the Virginia Defense Force — including participants from Rappahannock County — will meet Sunday in Winchester for their first regular drill, according to Lt. Hoi. Boyd G. Headley, 3rd Battalion commander. The drill will be conducted at the Winchester War Memorial Building, in the City Park, rather than at the National Guard Armory as earlier announced. Drill activities will start promptly at 1 p.m. and conclude at 5 p.m. Current members of the Virginia Defense Force are expected to attend, and those interested in joining may also come by during the drill. Gen. Herbert L. Turner, 3rd Brigade commander, said plans are being made to start new Virginia Defense Force companies in Leesburg, Lexington and Alexandria. In addition, 17-year-olds may now join the VDF with parental consent. I £r £^J II Woodsy Owl says Stash Your Trash Give a hoot. Don’t pollute. Forest Service, U.S.D.A. County’s insurance coverage expires By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer “After 12 o’clock, Mr. Chairman, I have nothing to say!” announced Supervisor Charles Estes, after learning at last Wednesday’s budget work session that the county’s government officials’ liability coverage would expire at midnight. When insurance bids were opened last Wednesday afternoon, there were no takers for general liability, public officials’ liability or the sheriff s department’s automobile policy. “You have no liability (insurance) until July 1,” Clerk Diane Bruce told the board members. “It cannot be gotten at any price.” On July 1, Rappahannock and the rest of Virginia’s localities will be provided liability coverage through a pool authorized by the General Assembly and administered by the Virginia Municipal League. “You’ll probably see a 50 percent increase in our premiums for the coming year,” Ms. Bruce advised the board. “Everyone will be assessed approximately 40 percent (of their standard premium) to get the pool started,” she explained. According to the county’s insurance consultant, Rappahannock is one of two counties without general liability and public officials’ liability for the next month until the new pool coverage begins. Rappahannock was the first Virginia municipality to have its liability insurance cancelled last year. Every other municipality has had the same problem since. “But they all had coverage through July 1,” Ms. Bruce said. “So when the General Assembly approved the insurance pool, they made it effective July 1 — before that date, they would have had only two counties in the pool,” she said explaining Rappahannock’s predicament. While the county and its officials will hold their collective breath, cross fingers and go through June ^ without liability coverage, the sheriffs department will not. The firm of Alexander and Alexander has agreed to provide assigned risk automobile coverage until the Municipal League’s pool begins in July. At Wednesday’s work session, the supervisors approved payment of the $8,784 annual premium which includes comprehensive, collision and. liability for the sheriffs newer cars and liability only on the older cars. “We have to pay the entire premium tomorrow,” Ms. Bruce told the board. “Then we’ll get the unused portion refunded when the policy is terminated on July 1, minus a penalty of around $300.” She noted that Alexander and Alexander is the county’s former insurance carrier and will be coordinating the Virginia Municipal League’s pool. Ms. Bruce said that the automobile coverage may not start until the insurance company’s representative gets back to Richmond with the county’s check. “We’ve asked the sheriff not to put any more cars on the road than he has to from midnight tonight until the coverage becomes effective tomorrow.” ^OM' COOKOUT FAVORITES Price* Effective Thru June 14, 1986 Quantity Rights Reserved Mrs Filbert's Mayonnaise Rainbow (In Water) 6 07. $129 qt A 2/99° Check Out Our Thick Cut Bar-B-Q Section Charcoal > b $189 1GA < 4 29 Lighter Fluid < « * 1 CESSED Super 8 Franks it> Hatfield Slab Bacon ib Ready To Serve Pork BBQ ib roii 99* $129 $229 Hatfield Country Style > Sausage ib Hatfield Chub QA£ Liverwnrst ib 09 Pink Beauty Salmon All Returnable Sodas 8 Pk ^ IGA Assorted Flavors Sodas 3 liter •Cot Green Beans •Whole Kernal Corn •Sweet Peas ^ 303 size 3/99c IGA Apple Juice Rainbow Toilet Tissue QA{ Field Trial JPgQ W Chunk Dog Food 40 ib bag v 69{ R.C Soda y California Ripe Cantaloupe V Chiquita Golden Ripe Banana 4 ibs./* 100 Vine Ripened Tomatoes »>39* Flowers • Potted Plants • Arrangements • Roses FROZEN SPECIALS Breyers Ice Cream gai Large Selection Of Cones!

Published by the Rappahannock News, a division of Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. v____ THURSDAY, JUNE 12,1986 The higher good By EUGENE J. McCARTHY Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The noted historian Bruce Catton wrote in 1977 that baseball is a game that cannot be ruined by forces either internal or external. The strength and resiliency of the game in the face of both internal and external change during recent years seemed to prove Catton right. Some of the changes were absorbed into the game, others were rejected. The integrity of the game remained. Night games, artificial turf, covered parks, the use of designated hitters, although they raised some questions about the validity of statistics and some accidental aspects of the game, left the basic game intact. There have been innovations generally associated with the terms of Bowie Kuhn as commissioner, such as the abolition of the reserve clause, the adoption of the free agent rule, three tier compensation rules, the player draft, etc. These were all designed to make teams more competitive, to even out their strength, and did not destroy the basic inequality of baseball. Although some of these changes are questionable, they were offered under the protective standard for “the good of the game,” proclaimed by the most noted baseball commissioner, Judge Kenesaw Landis, and followed faithfully by his successors. Under this standard, baseball was judged in itself like classical theatre, with its own unities of time, space and action. No higher purpose for the game was recognized, and no objective beyond the good of the game. Thus, “Shoeless” Joe Jackson and others involved in the “Black Sox” scandal were banned for “the good of the game,” not to give a good example to the youth of America, or for some other “good of society.” Higher and outside purposes have been accepted for the national football and basketball organizations, but neither game, in any case, could be conceived as self-contained, or good in itself. National football and basketball games are inter Commentary rupted so that public messages can be given in the name of the leagues. Players are presented as supporters of “Big Brothers,” or “Boy Scouts” and a host of other good causes. Now, the “higher purpose” is being laid on baseball by new Commissioner Peter Uberroth. Uberroth comes to baseball from what has been judged successful service with the United States Olympics. Recently, he announced that new “charity elements” have been introduced to baseball through corporate sponsorships of programs. Big Brothers and Big Sisters programs and the Boys’ Clubs of America will, under the new commissioner, become beneficiaries of organized baseball’s attention. Supplementing the Uberroth effort, some have expressed hope that baseball players may provide the initiative and leadership control to eliminate drug abuse not only among baseball players (for the good of the game), but in the whole of our society. Editors, columnists and some sports writers are calling on baseball players to be role models to be looked up to, thus supplanting the traditional disposition to look up to some baseball players, to look down on others, and to be indifferent to most of them. Uberroth’s interest in higher purposes is understandable. Promoting such purposes as international understanding, world peace, good sportsmanship and the like are accepted as proper goals for the Olympics. Nothing relative to the Olympics is done simply for the “good of the Olympics.” Baseball is different. The application of the higher purpose is likely to affect baseball in a manner comparable to that noted by the poet William Stafford, when he wrote the warning line: “If you purify the pond, the water lilies die.” A poetic hollow By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Among the wild life that populates Horseshoe Hollow, our farm, are two Blue Jays whose territory is just outside the sunroom where we’ breakfast. Their size, sky-blue and white feathers make them conspicuous. Their industry, on the grass, darting from perch to perch among tree and shrub, suggests to me that they are nesting nearby. Listening to them and watching them, I recall John Crowe Ransom’s Blue Girls, a poem about high school pupils he sees on the lawn in front of their boarding school. He likens them to blue birds and thinks of the brevity of their fresh, irrepressible years. The girls remind him of his own youth when he was apparently enamored of a beauty like themselves. Now, he says, the person he knew then is a shrew and far from attractive. His telling lines about her hint at tragedy and aching regret. Reading the poem, I am mindful of the not-so-old South that Tennessee Williams evokes in A Streetcar Named Desire and The Glass Menagerie, when women seem sometimes to have destroyed themselves playing roles society urged upon them. Blue Girls Twirling your blue skirts, traveling the sward Under the towers of your seminary, Go listen to your teachers old and contrary Without believing a word. Tie the white fillets then about your lustrous hair Guest column And think no more of what mil come to pass Than bluebirds that go walking on the grass And chattering on the air. Practice your beauty, blue girls, before it fail; And I will cry with my loud lips and publish Beauty which all our power shall never establish It is so frail. For I could tell you a story which is true; I know a lady with a terrible tongue, Blear eyes fallen from blue, All her perfections tarnished — yet it is not long Since she was lovelier than any of you. As have other poets, Ransom captures fleeting beauty in his lament over its flower-like nature. During most of the first half of this century, John Crowe Ransom (1888-1974) was a beloved and inspiring poet, critic, editor and teacher at Vanderbilt University and Kenyon College. His leadership on the Southern literary scene, in company with his friends John Peale Bishop, Randall Jarrell, Allen Tate and Robert Penn Warren, made literary history. How remarkable that from among these poets, Robert Penn Warren (b. 1905) survives and has recently been made our nation’s first Poet Laureate!

Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter Rappahannock Heritage FARMERS ALL AROUND Rappahannock are busy cutting and baling hay. This field on Clifford Miller’s farm near Sperry ville was full of rolls last weekend. Letters to the editor Tax, spend philosophy? To the editor: I suggest that you consider renaming the local newspaper The Rappahannock Democrat because only Democrats (at least on the national scene) appear to favor balancing public budgets by increasing revenues through increased taxation and never by decreasing or holding down public expenditures. Certainly the Rappahannock News has recently adopted the national Democratic budgeting posture for our county. I would like to support Supervisor Lane’s public repudiation on June 2 of the so-called “survey” by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning Commission which your paper headlined on May 29 “Tax hikes not great concern according to planners’ survey.” This sleazy attempt by the Planning District staff to interfere with this County’s budgeting process was suspect because of: a) the method by which the “poll” was conducted b) the miniscule number of people surveyed c) the selective manner in which respondents were chosen and d) the suspect timing of the “survey,” in the midst of the Supervisors’ budget hearings, and of your rushing into headline print to report this “non-event/’ all transparent attempts to influence the Supervisors. Why can’t you people confine your personal opinions on public affairs to the Editorial Page while we, the public, confine ours to Letters to the Editors? Now comes this week your front page headline, “$5.3 million budget draws no comment,” with a bad sentence informing us that “not a single taxpayer spoke against the proposed $5.3 million in expenditures which require a real estate levy of 64 cents per $100 of assessed value, double the rate of 4 years ago and up 6 cents for this year.” How could they? Were the taxpayers supposed to come and wait until midnight to speak their minds? At the Supervisors’ meeting on June 2, at which it had been announced that a public hearing on the County Budget would be held, I arrived at 10 a.m., as usual. There were only a few people in attendance and almost all of them were people attending to plead with the Supervisors to approve their particular budget requests. I sat there all morning listening to these people make their pitch for more public hinds. Immediately after each individual or group had made its presentation, these people left the courthouse, their particular interest in the county’s public affairs and the rest of the budget proposal being taken care of for the day. 12 noon arrived and only the county’s public servants had spoken; no one else, up to that time, had been invited or permitted to speak. Certainly no taxpayer who was going to pay for all of it. At noon I got disgusted and came home to get some work done. What happened afterward at the meeting I only know through the Rappahannock News. As a taxpayer, I came prepared with some input to offer the Supervisors and I assure you that it was not supportive of your current “tax and spend” philosophy. When the public is invited to present its views at a budget hearing, the Supervisors should give their constituents priority at that meeting; most of us have other things to do at home, even when we are retired, and value our time also. The Supervisors should hold a separate session for the County agencies and departments to require them to justify their spending proposals. The taxpayers already know what they are asking for and will probably be content to read about the spenders’ session in your newspaper. One of the Supervisors is quoted by your paper as saying during the afternoon of June 2, “I’m not one to believe a whole lot in petitions...” I should like to remind that Supervisor, and all others, that the constitution of the U.S. does believe a whole lot in petitions and suggest that all of them take a moment to re-read Article I, the First of our National Bill of Rights, to clear away any confusion which might exist in their minds regarding petitions and public input by taxpayers and citizens of this County and this Country. ROBERT W. EASTHAM Flint Hill Molten lava gives up its heat so slowly that the bottom layer of a lava pond 300 feet deep may .take 300 years to cool completely, says National Geographic. Explaining the ratio To the editor: Much has been made of the relatively low pupil-teacher ratio in Rappahannock schools by the County Supervisors, and it has been “suggested” to the Superintendent that he would be wise to “find a way” to schedule larger classes — that is, get by with fewer teachers. The pupil-teacher ratio mentioned — derived be dividing the total number of pupils by the number of instructional personnel — is not a very meaningful figure. Still, the fact is that Rappahannock youngsters do enjoy relatively small classes. At the high school, the averages range from 20 pupils per teacher in Social Studies and Art to 12 in Home Ec and 11 in Industrial Arts. The ratio averages 17 to 1 in English, French, Business and Science, and 16 to 1 in Math and Music. These low ratios — meaning as they do a relatively generous helping of individual attention to each student — could go a long way toward explaining how Rappahannock students have done as well as they have in standard tests with one of the very lowest-paid teaching staffs in a state not known for overspending. However, it needs to be understood that these low ratios are not the consequence of local choice. They are the result of student credit requirements and State mandates imposed on a relative-small rural school district. Flexibility in class scheduling in small districts is limited at best. But superimpose state standards on top of that and then upgrade those standards year after year, and see what you get! Example: For the HS class of ’86, a “regular” diploma required 2 years of Lab Science and 2 of Math, along with 5 years of English, 3 of Social Studies and PhysEd, and 7 years of electives. But for Classes of ’88 and beyond, the requirement will be all of that plus a third year of Science and, in addition an extra year of Science or Math or an approved sequence of Vocational-Ed courses. For the “advanced studies” diploma designed for the collegebound, students must be given 5 years of English, 4 each of Lab Science and Math, and 3 each of Social Studies, Foreign Languages and Phys-Ed — plus 5 electives. Other inflexibilities: In a small district, the limited demand for some electives that must be offered means small classes in a number of courses — Home Ec, for example. The use of hazardous equipment keeps Industrial Arts classes small. And some — but only a few — of the college-bound will want a fourth year of French. Then there are the special situations. Many youngsters — 75 to 85 — go half days to the Piemdont Technical Education Center in Culpeper — some in the morning, some in the afternoon. But they must still earn their diploma credits. Some end up in advanced-studies English classes competing with the collegebound. (That scheduling problem was referred to the computers at Piedmont Tech, but with no solution.) Finally there is the difficult scheduling problem of the specialeducation classes for the handicapped. Examples: the mentally retarded (some educatable, some merely trainable); the “severely and profoundly handicapped,” with a state maximum of six pupils per class; the physically handicapped and hearing impaired with eight per class; the emotionally disturbed and the speech impaired. None of this is to argue that Rappahannock schools are staffed with an absolute minimum of teachers. Rather, it is an effort to help the community understand an issue raised in criticism of the school budget. Two observations seem worth making. First, much of the course work mandated by the state — particularly in the small Special-Ed classes for the handicapped — is geared to state funding. So scrapping some courses offerings, even if permitted, would mean less-thancommensurate savings for local taxpayers. Second, the school budget approved by the Supervisors, with its 12 percent pay raise for teachers, seems about the best that could reasonably be expected this year. But it will bring no real improvement in Rappahannock’s rockbottom standing among Virginia communities in teacher pay scales in a year in which teachers in all Virginia districts get at least the state-mandated pay raise of 10 percent. Thus, Rappahannock has only begun to compete with other communities in attracting experienced teachers. But it has begun! CHARLES & HELEN PLATT Rock Mills ‘Breathtaking performance’ To the editor: The R.A.A.C. outing of 45 members on June 4 to Wolf Trap to see the legendary Kirov Ballet from Russia was a resounding success. We have President Reagan and Premier Gorbachev to thank for in their summit meeting a cultural interchange was agreed to — an effort for peace through the arts. We must also thank Diana Bird and Ann Stevens and those members of the committee who stood in line for hours to get tickets for this performance — the first of the Kirov to this country since 1964. Those of us who have been following Russian Ballet since the days of Diaghilev’s Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, more recently' the Bolshoi, and who had a preview of the Kirov in the documentary movie Backstage at the Kirov (shown recently at the Gay Street Theatre) were prepared for a night of superb dancing but nothing as rapturous and scintillat ing as the dancing of Altinay Asylmuratova. In the “Shades,” the third act of the ballet Le Bayadere, she showed impeccable technical precision, physical exhiliration allied to classical sensibility. Slender yet sculptured in physique, legs flashed into highest extension, flawless arabesques, thrilling pirouettes, but also fine delicacy in the smallest steps — a truly “Prima ballerina assoluta.” The audience reacted with an ovation which lasted ten minutes. A breathtaking performance not soon to be forgotten. The rest of the program showed the disciplined training and cohesion of the corps de ballet and the brilli ance of the other principal dancers. The male dancers were not Nureyevs or Baryshnikovs but showed physical vigor and virtuosity. The Russians did not invent the ballet but have developed it to its present zenith after 150 years of discipline, dedication, and hard work. Balleto started during the Renaissance in Italy as entertainment in the festivals, pageants and tournaments of the aristocracy. The Florentine Princess Catherine de Medici8 introduced it to France when she married King Henry II. It became the dance of the court. Louis Continued on page 5

Since that day he became know as the “Sun King.” “Modem” ballet in Russia was given its greatest impetus in 1847 when Marius Petipa, a Frenchman, was hired as a principal dancer by the Imperial Ballet in St. Petersburg. However, it was not as a dancer that he was to make his mark, but as a choreographer of consummate precision and relentless training. He was a ballet master for 56 years but never learned the Russian language. With grunts and gestures he commanded the respect and admiration of all the dancers. There is hardly a classical ballet today that does not bear his imprint. The toy of the aristocracy has now become the novelty of the masses. Choreographers today are trying to make ballet an integral part of our society and culture. Getting away from classical gestures and attitudes they exploit eccenticity and mirror our drug and alcoholridden ambiance, violence and sadistic sexuality. This cultural absuridty will never replace the classical ballet _the stuff that dreams are made of.

Flower artwork on display By ANN BROWN Rappahannock News Contributing: Writer Flower lovers will enjoy the current show at Middle Street Gallery. Though somewhat uneven, there are many interesting works in the Spring Flower Show. The exhibition encompasses a wide variety of expressions on the theme of flowers, using both traditional and experimental approaches. A few of the highlights are Jeanne Drevas’ beautifully crafted ceramic morning glories climbing on a lattice around a mirror, Elsa Rosenthal’s graceful and exquisite poppy photograph, Nol Putnam’s small forged flowers, Cindy Mahan’s handcoloted “Rappahannock Wisteria” photograph, Joel Hoyer’s mystical golden flower combined with his characteristic heirographs, and Eva Wine’s bold mayflower pole in the V shape of a cross and covered with tiny fabric flowers, leaves, shells, entitled “Good God, He’s Dying.” The exhibit also includes Laurie Marshall’s magnified Iris and Amaryllis I and IJ, Lynette Nicolas’ honeysuckle flowers which spill over the picture onto the matte, Doug Ball’s masculine and solid oil of Queen Anne’s Lace, Maggie Morris’ delicate watercolor of peach blooms with a dark background, Millie Palmer’s pink against black oil, and Phyllis McCreery’s fire red flower. Nina Moore has a delicate, tiny iris pin and Jeanne Drevas’ stoneware ritual pots with vine handles and beads and lovely colors are also a wonderful addition to the show. Middle Street Gallery, now an artists’ cooperative, is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 1 until 7. The show will run through the end of June. Choral music fest set for July 4 celebration The theme for the Fourth of July celebration at Avon Hall in Washington will be “For God and Country.” William Carrigan said that the festivities will be “in the spirit of celebration for the peace and freedom we are privileged to have in our time.” For the 25th consecutive year, Mr. and Mrs. Carrigan are “extending a cordial welcome to all the people of Rappahannock to join them in a grand celebration of music and fireworks on the hills of Avon Hall.” This year a special invitation is being issued to all the churches in Rappahannock, Mr. Carrigan said. All choirs and singing groups—formal or informal—are being invited to join in a songfest of sacred and patriotic music before the fireworks. The musical program will begin at 7:30 p.m. on the shore of Avon Lake. It will include music by the children’s choirs, which will march and sing among the audience. The procession will be led by a fife and drum corps in traditional dress. The music will conclude with an invitation for the assembled crowd to join the choirs in singing The Star-Spangled Banner as the fireworks begin. All musical directors and pastors of Rappahannock churches are urged to contact William Carrigan as soon as possible. He may be reached on weekends at Avon Hall (675-3527) or in the evening during the week at (301) 949-0024. Microphones, a sound system and musical accompaniment will be provided during the concert. Choir members are encouraged to bring their families and picnic baskets and enjoy an old-fashioned picnic on the lawn of Avon Hall before the concert. RAAC members attend Kirov ballet at Wolf Trap By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock News Contributing Writer On Wednesday, June 4, the 35 RAAC subscribers, some from as far as Culpeper and Hume, gathered at the Gay Street Theater for the trip to Wolf Trap. At the Wolf Trap Pavilion, a cool breeze made us comfortable in our good seats as the gala concert program opened with Chopin’s Mazurka and Waltz No. 7. The two subsequent dance interludes featured the music of Ludwig Minkus and the choreography of Maurice Petipa. The first group of dancers, called Chopiniana, featured women in beautiful dress-length filmy skirts. The subsequent dances were performed in traditional tutus, one again all white, and the last with bodices of rose, red, green, purple and sparkling sequins. The scenery of the final dance set, called Paquita, produced gasps when the curtain rose. At the back was an elaborately decorated salmon colored curtain, framed with three advancing folds of curtains on each side, also decorated with brocade. From the ceiling hung similar material cut into deep scallops, some of which carried fringed tassels. Four brass candelabra 12 feet tall, each with 12 candles, burned against the back curtain. Arranged there too were several bronze classical figures and one figure worked into the curtain as well. The result was a stage richly and elegantly aglow. The first dancers in Paquita ap peared in costumes with bodices of the same salmon color as the draperies. This set featured five solo performances by both men and women. The most thrilling set was the “Shades” from the third act of the ballet La Bayadere, which John Shipman had discussed with us as we waited to buy our tickets. He thinks this dance the ultimate in ballet drama. The program backs him up by stating, “In the history of ballet theater, there is no equal to the ‘Shades,’ conceivably in the degree of poetic pervasiveness.” The “Shades” opens with the corps de ballet, 32 in number, appearing Individually in stark white costumes with filmy arm scarfs attached from the back of the dancers’ wrists. They enter at center stage from behind a black curtain onto a raised platform that slopes on the viewer’s right to the stage floor. For a moment, one sees each beautiful ballerina pose and then dance down the incline, to circle forward in a moth-like brilliance and grace. We arrived home after 1 a.m. The excitement of this shared occasion filled us with gratitude that we were privileged to be a part of an historic Kirov tour and that Anne Stephens, RAAC director, had arranged all the details of the trip, complete with fine local Virginia white wine to accompany our jolly picnic before the performance on the lawn at Wolf Trap.

His dad was a good dad A professional man, a busy man, schedule always stuffed full, but he loved his son and his son loved him. Vet something was missing, the son, now grown and a businessman in his own right, told me. With tears in his eyes he said, "You know, I played baseball and football almost from the time I could walk. I was the high school quarterback and baseball catcher In college (at a major university) I had a baseball scholarship as catcher." Then he paused as the tears came freely. "But my dad never saw me play one game in either sport! I used to search the stands hoping to see him, but I never did Much of the glory I received on the athletic field had an emptiness about it because I could never share it with my dad. a man I love and respect deeply." By the time the 30 year-old man had finished, I was in tears, but tears that moved me 'o see every game my children played in. I had to shuffle schedules many times, but I m glad I did. My son died at 17. and our two daughters are now gone from home But, I still have great, comforting memories of catching their eyes from the stands as they look up to see where their mom and I were sitting.

Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter MIKE BROWN (left), owner of B and B Servicecenter, and Donald Logan, NAPA market development representative, are manning the counter at B and B’s new parts department. B & B opens NAPA parts department Mike Brown, owner of B and B Servicecenter on Rt. 21-1 just west of Washington, has opened a parts department in his station. Mr. Brown, well-known to Rappahannock residents for more than nine years, has become part of the National Automotive Parts Association dealer network. The parts department will stock a full selection of replacement parts for farm equipment, as well as parts for domestic and foreign cars and trucks. Mr. Brown explained that “NAPA has always been big in parts for agricultural equipment, and we’re looking forward to meeting the needs of Rappahannock’s farmers.” Donald Logan, market development representative from NAPA, is assisting Mr. Brown in getting the operation started. “We’re fortunate in finding Mike,” Mr. Logan said. “There's no business (stocking re placement parts for farm machinery) between Culpeper and Front Royal, and he’s in an ideal location to serve Rappahannock County.” He added that B and B’s NAPA affiliation “will give his customers access to over 110,000 different part numbers, ranging from heavy duty truck parts to small engine and marine replacement items.” If the part is not in stock at B and B, it is available by overnight delivery from the company’s warehouse in Richmond, Mr. Logan said. In addition to the wide variety of NAPA brand replacement parts, original equipment parts are also available through the manufacturers’ wholesale distribution network. “That’s just part of our service to our customers,” Mr. Logan said. Mr. Logan pointed out that the overnight delivery service is a big advantage in a rural area, particularly to farmers who cannot afford COPY SERVICE AVAILABLE Copies while you wait < < < < < * ®b e Eappafjannocfe Jftetos Main Street ; Washington 703 675-3338 Everything you've always wanted in a hatchback.

The standard is quality . . .and we stand behind our quality.” Mr. Brown said that his customers will have the advantage of NAPA’s 6500-dealer network nationwide. The company has a tollfree number (1-800-LET-NAPA) to refer travelers to the nearest NAPA store. In additon, there is a national warranty plan so that parts bought at one store can be serviced by any other NAPA store in the event of a problem while traveling. He added that he is pleased with the response to the new department. “We decided to do this because we put on a lot of parts ourselves, and it was sometimes a hassle getting them. The parts department also means that we can supply do-ityourself mechanics with parts right here in the county, instead of them having to go somewhere else to get them. It will save time for everyone.” The NAPA parts center will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. B and B is closed on Sunday. | American Heart ^Association WE'RE FIGHTING FOR \OUR LIFE ‘Ned’s Tales’ are a tribute to Rappahannock humor ByTHERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock New* Special Writer Elisabeth and Ned Johnson worked for many years on their collection of Rappahannock history, published in 1981 as Rappahannock County, Va. History: Fact, Fiction, Foolishness and Fairfax Story. In all respects this volume was a service to Rappahannock County, published without a plan to bring profit to its authors. Ned and Elisabeth concluded their work on the book while Ned was quite sick. “I’d stay with him in the hospital dining the day and come home and type all night,” remembers Elisa* beth. Before the book reached the manuscript stage, the Johnsons had spent countless hours in libraries, government offices, and interviews with older friends and neighbors. After Ned died in 1984, Elisabeth produced' a shorter book, one devoted entirely to Ned’s remembrance of local tales. She’d had the foresight to get Ned to record some of the stories and practical jokes he knew. For his birthday she bought him a tape recorder, and one snowy Sunday in 1969 she sat him down at the dining room table and told him that the time to record his stories had come. Unfortunately, Elisabeth remembers, the recorder and Ned were not a perfect match: “He could understand all about tractors and sprayers, and could figure out to the last teaspoon the amount of spray material to use in a 500-gallon tank at 10 percent strength to control the parasites that were damaging his apples,” she relates in her prologue to Ned’s Tales, “but he seemed to be terrified of gadgets such as tape recorders.” Ned and Elisabeth stuck with it, however, and she regrets that there were not more stories recorded by Ned. “He just had a wonderful way with words,” she said. “He could make a story seem funnier than anyone.” “This is in gratitude to those people who gave us the gift of making us laugh,” she wrote in the Prologue. “Our laughter is with people, not at them. There is a difference.” Ned’s tales are funny, relying on a clever use of words rather than fast-moving plots. Elisabeth Johnson finds in them several characteristics of good rural humor. “For one thing,” she explained, “rural people love to deflate folks that have gotten ‘above their raisin.’ They love to have a joke at the hypocrite’s expense.” One of Ned’s favorite buddies, who was himself a story-teller, was Josh. Ned’s Tales are full of Josh’s escapades and he’s always more lov SOUTH WALES SWIM CLUBl NOW OPEN I Under the same management.

However, he still kept a fellow feeling for the man who couldn’t resist a drink. That was directly opposite to that attitude of another man in the neighborhood who, when he stopped drinking, lost all patience with those who had not. In fact, he became quite straight-laced. He had a brother who would get wild as \a March hare when he had a few, and would do all kinds of crazy things. One day this man was talking to Josh about the way his brother behaved and he said, ‘I tell you right now, Josh, you can’t say that whiskey made a damned fool of me.’ Josh replied, ‘No, you’re right. The good Lord took care of that when you were born.’ ” Josh had an interesting housekeeping system. He didn’t like work much and tried to reduce his chores to a minimum by careful planning. “As time went on,” Ned remembered, “he picked up a certain efficiency which was really to be marvelled at. For instance, in the latter years of his life he was left a widower and had to do his own cooking. So he developed a system: the stove was about three feet from the table. He drove a nail in the end of the table and hung an old ham on it. He could swing around to the left, take a butcher knife, slice off a nice slice of this old ham, wheel to the right, drop it in the skillet on the stove, and he really had it made. He didn’t even have to get up out of his chair.” Regularly scheduled lor mischiei were the tourists who patronized the Esso Station. Some of them expected the “locals” to be comical bumpkins and sometimes local practical jokers were glad to oblige: “There were quite a few tourists at the Esso Station on Sunday when Jim sauntered in. Nelson, who has a lot of devilment in him, asked him, principally for the benefit of the tourists, how he was getting along with his laying hens. “Well, Nelson,’ drawled Jim, ‘I’m not doing so well. You know, I had these 150 hens, and I was getting 3 dozen eggs a day and selling them at 30 cents a dozen, getting in 90 cents. My feed, I figured, was costing me about $1.20, so I was losing 30 cents a day — about ten cents a dozen. That was bad enough, when I was just getting 3 dozen eggs. But when the hens got up to 6 dozen eggs a day I just couldn t stand the expense. I hauled off and sold the whole lot.’ Nelson sypathized with him and said he had done exactly right. The tourists went off shaking their heads.” “Old-timers really appreciated an honest rascal, and they loved putting something over on someone,” Elisabeth explained. Two rascals were Gray Eye and Travis: “One time Gray Eye and Travis were put in jail over in Luray for some type of infraction which probably wouldn’t have been noticed in Rappahannock. Travis got on a bit of a crying jag and he was weeping away to Gray Eye that he was afraid they weren’t going to be given justice in that court in Luray. Gray Eye finally said, ‘Shut up, Travis, you’d better hope that we don’t get justice.’ ” Although Elisabeth Johnson credits Ned with being the storyteller in the family, she knows a few yams herself. “Ned was such a clever man,” she said. “He was just naturally quick-witted.” “One time we were getting ready to go out and I said, ‘Ned, don’t wear that shirt, the cuffs are frayed.’ “As quick as anything, he replied, ‘What are they afraid of?’ “Another time, Ned picked up his hat and was walking out of church when a man stopped him. ‘I’m sorry, that’s the president’s hat,’ he said.” “Well, sure, you’re right,” Ned said. “Mine is a much better hat.” Elisabeth, like Ned, is ready to laugh at herself as well as at the foibles of others. She came to Rappahannock as a bride in the ’thirties. She’d spent almost a year in China after traveling around the world. “I did have to endure some jokes on myself as I adjusted to rural life,” she said. She remembers one: “We didn’t have a car then and I walked into town, a pretty good distance, to Schwartz Store (where the Corner Store is now). There were a lot of what Ned called ‘loafers’ gathered and they weren’t used to me yet. WeH, you should have seen their faces when I asked for a box of paprika!” As with the earlier book, Elisabeth doesn’t expect to make any money on Ned’s Tales. In fact, she’s selling it for less than each copy cost her. She dedicates Ned’s Tales to “my husband, C. E. “Nedf’Johnson, Jr., who could make people laugh.” Wakefield s commencement scheduled on Sunday By HELEN RUISI Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Wakefield School will hold its seventh commencement exercises on Sunday, June 15, in the garden of the school.

Schools Continued from page 1 mitted for the schools’ petroleum products next year. Acceptance of the bids was deferred until the specially-scheduled pay-out meeting .June 24, so staff members can make inquiries about unfamiliar companies. The board accepted the bid from Bluebird School Bus Co. of Buena Vista at a price of $23,557 each, picked up at their plant. There was only one other bid, from Sonny Merriman of Rustburg, which did not include a chassis, so was unacceptable. Summer gifted programs Mr. Estabrook said a combination of six summer programs would serve more than 100 gifted Rappahannock students, an increase from previous years. The program includes a special course at Piedmont Vo-Tech Center at Culpeper, a selection of summer courses at Lord Fairfax Community ('ollege, a course at Virginia Tech, a music camp and the school’s own program. Mr. Estabrook commented that Rappahannock’s enrollment in the Lord Fairfax program exceeds that of any other school system in the planning district, adding that may be because the county underwrites the tuition expense. Parking lot update Apologizing for the delay in repairing the potholes in the high school parking lot, Mr. Estabrook said the Warrenton contractor for the project had been so difficult to deal with that it was no longer a consideration. By contrast, he said, representatives of the state highway department Doug Bywaters and Don Askew had been extremely helpful and were waiting for a decision to allow them to go ahead with the work for a reasonable fee. Incentive payments The board discussed how best to administer its incentive program for new teachers. “We need to make clear when the $300 incentive fee is available,” said Mr. Estabrook. “Do we want to award it upon the signing of the contract or on the first day that teacher reports to school?” The board voted to award the money, designed to encourage new teachers to come to Rappahannock as well as to make it easier for them to make living arrangements, on the teacher’s first working day. “We need to do something about the breach of contract of both new and established teachers,” said Paul Nichols. “We’ve had teachers asking to be released during the last two weeks of school. What could be more important than the last two weeks of school?” Mr. Nichols suggested that the Rappahannock School Board report teachers in breach of contract to the state Department of Education so it becomes part of their permanent records. The board agreed to make the $300 incentive payment dependent on the teacher serving a full year, with a pro-rated amount to.be paid back if service is not completed. Before the regular School Board meeting, there was an hour-long closed-door session requested by a former school employee. No action was taken. Another hour-long closed-door session followed the open meeting. After reconvening in open session the board voted to accept resignations of Katherine Baader, library aide, Lois Atwood and Ann Burke, fifth grade teachers, Maryann Decker, kindergarten teacher, Valerie Hibbs, fourth grade teacher, Tina Peterson Brazile, third grade teacher, and Terry Spangler, seventh grade teacher. Also accepted were the resignations of Hubert Gilkey, Charles Jenkins and James Nicholson as bus drivers, and the appointment of Eleanor Katz as a seventh grade teacher. Susan Wittl’s application for a sabbatical was approved. A pay-out meeting was scheduled for 8 p.m. June 24 at the School Board office. Before the regular meeting, the board will examine the findings of the administration on the petroleum products bids and make a decision. Activity funds explained Responding to public concern about the administration of the activity funds in both schools, Mr. Estabrook explained the funds come from an assortment of ventures and activities and are not appropriated by the county. No one was present at the meeting to represent the point of view of those concerned about the activity funds, but Mr. Estabrook said that a previous PTA meeting had discussed this concern. “I don’t really know what the questions are,” he said. “I’ve had some inquiries,” said Randall Updike. “I think people feel Rappahannock Business & Service Directory Next Deadline June 26 Call 675-3338to Place Your Ad!

If we have tremendous balances in textbook purchases, for instance, then maybe we’re charging too much.” “Why don’t we set a time for anyone concerned to appear before the board and ask questions?” said Mrs. Ma.^ie. “We can have the principals here, too, to explain the administration of these funds.” The board will hear from citizens about the matter at the next regular meeting at 8 p.m. July 8.

Sport Amissville ‘pulls’ for tractors By LUU HATTER Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer What do you get when you combine 2,000 horsepower, four tractor tires, a dirt track, 1,500 spectators and a sunny Saturday afternoon? The second annual Amissville Volunteer Fire Department Truck and Tractor Pull on May 31. It was a great success according to the spectators, participants, sponsors and the Old Dominion Tractor Pullers Association, which sanctioned the event. The pull attracted competitors from all across Virginia and neighboring states. They wheeled into the pit area in heavy-duty trucks hauling large trailers loaded with awesome-looking, brightly-painted machines bearing names like “Virginia General” (Winchester), “Dixie Digger” (Warrenton), “Super Thing” (Newton) and Salty Dog (Culpeper). Tractor pulls have their roots in pre-motorized times when farmers had friendly competitions, often at the county fair, to see whose horses could drag a large, heavy skid the farthest distance. In more modern times, tractors have replaced horses both on the farm and at the fair. The first pull in Virginia was in 1965 in Augusta County. According to Bill Simmons, one of the organizers, both the equipment and the idea were simple. The tractor was hitched to a large metal skid. Down the track, on each side, 20 men stood at measured intervals. As the skid passed, the men stepped onto it. Whoever pulled the skid the farthest was the winner. The same principle of progressive resistance is used in today’s pulls, but the equipment has evolved dramatically. At that first pull the largest tractors put out 50 horsepower, Mr. Simmons said. “Now even the smallest have over 100.” One of the modified tractors which competed at Amissville, “Little Bit” owned and driven by Charles “Nick” Nicholson of Culpeper, broke the dynamometer when he tried to measure its horsepower. Mr. Nicholson’s modified tractor more closely resembles a dragster with tractor tires. The “rail” design sports a chromed, blown fuel-injected 528-cubic-inch engine which bums four gallons of specially formulated alcohol racing fuel to drag the 40,000-pound skid 300 feet in a whirlwind of dust and noise. He estimates the engine develops “around 1,800 to 2,000 horsepower. The dynamometer only went up to 1,200.” Mr. Nicholson, who owns Nick’s Body Shop in Culpeper, has been competing on the National Tractor Pullers Association circuit for five years. “I started going and watching and I had to have one,” he said, explaining what got him hooked. Last year he was the national points champion in all classes — with 13 national championships in the last two years. The road to a national championship is not cheap, however. Mr. Nicholson estimated that “Little Bit” is worth more than $35,000 . . . “$20,000 plus for the engine,’’-which was built by Lee Edwards, of Midland. The rest of Mr. Nicholson’s “tractor” was hand-built by Johnny Shifflett. Rappahannock native Lee Hitt competed in the Modified FourWheel-Drive Class, driving the “Salty Dog.” Mr. Hitt, who lives in Culpeper, has been competing for nine years. His first machine was an old farm truck. Now the “Salty Dog” sports a fuel-injected engine hand-built by Charlie Cary, of Smithfield. The truck body is only a shell, much like a “funny car” at a dragstrip. The real story is underneath. Much of the power train is salvaged from military sales and salvage yards. Mr. Hitt explained that military truck parts are the only ones which will stand up to the awesome torque generated by the powerful engines. “We do the impossible — we take a large displacement engine pushing 1,000 horsepower plus, and make it turn 7,000 to 9,000 rpm.” He added that breakage is not a major problem, since the trucks are built so heavy. “All I have to do is change the 12 quarts of oil every three runs.” Mr. Hitt, who works in systems engineering for the FAA Monday through Friday, spends his week, ends on the road. He is vice-president of ODTPA, and delegate to the national board from Virginia. He has been to school to learn the technical and safety regulations necessary to officiate at sanctioned events. Mr. Hitt and Mr. Nicholson stressed the lengths to which the NTPA has gone to ensure the safety of the sport. “It’s the safest sport in America because of the rules,” Mr. Hitt said. Each machine is inspected prior to competition. All moving parts are protected by some manner of casing to prevent them from flying free in the event of breakage. The drive shaft and clutch housing on “Little Bit,” for example, is surrounded by 3/8-inch thick plate steel. The tractor and sled are also connected by a wire which shuts off the engine if the two should separate. The competition for national championships is similar to drag racing. Points are awarded at each pull, and the winner is determined at the end of each season, which runs from Labor Day to Labor Day. Each machine competes in several different classes, determined by total weight of the vehicle. The weight can be altered for each class by the addition of large metal ingots hung on the front and rear of the trucks. Winners also receive prize money, “although the sport is not for making money,” according to Rob Hancock, who came from Powhatan, Va. to announce the event at Amissville. “The guys are doing it for fun... they’re all heart.” Mr. Hancock kept the crowd revved almost as high as the tachs Events Calendar isplfgjp' ^jjpgjjp^ar' June 12-15 June 12-15 June 14 June 14 June 14 June 14 June 15 June 15 June 15 June 18 June 21 June 21 The Loudoun Pony and Junior Show, Glenwood Park, Middleburg Morris Animal Foundation Annual Meeting, Airlie House, Warrenton Tralee Small Show, Tralee, Nokesville S-BRAA Appaloosa Horse Show, Foxcroft School, Middleburg Great Falls Open Schooling Show, Great Falls Horse Center, Great Falls Showing of Two Year Olds in Training, Middleburg Training Center, Middleburg Open 4-H Horse Show, Casanova Show Grounds, Casanova Equine Health Seminar, Madeira School, Potomac, Md.

Day realtor DEED — VERB OR NOUN? Tide to real estate, today, is transferred by a written legal document — a deed. This wasn’t always so. The word “deed” in common usage, means the doing of an act. At one time the “deed” which transferred land was just that. American real estate* law traces its roots to England, and there, several hundred years ago, title to land was transferred from seller to buyer after the two had walked the “metes and bounds” —or the property lines — of the real estate. Then, in the presence of witnesses, the seller threw a clod of dirt, striking the new owner! This symbolized the transfer. Later, the “deed” which closed the transfer came to be a bit less violent, such as handing a twig from the property to the new owner. Of course, the witnesses were necessary to insure there was proof of the transfer. Transfer of real estate is far more sophisticated and complex now than it was in medieval England. No “deed’ during that ancient time was ever held in escrow! Also, you can’t get hit by a clod of dirt in today’s market.

CHARLES NICH°LS°N of Culpeper piloted Little Bit to a runaway fireplace finisKinAe 9,2(X) pound Modified Tractor class at the Amissville Truck and Tractor pull on May 31. on the trucks as he exhorted from the judges’ stand: “Let’s hear all you Ford fans out there . . . Come’on, give that Chevy a hand . . He agreed, however, with Mr. Hitt that despite the camaraderie among the competitors, “when you hook up to that sled, everybody’s out to win.” Even the sled has become a specialized piece of equipment costing many thousands of dollars. Long gone is that metal skid filled with husky fanners. The first sled designed just for tractor pulls, handcrafted by Mr. Simmons’ agriculture students at North River High School in Augusta County was primitive by today’s standards. The “Shenandoah Sled” used Saturday has a large box which can be filled with varying amounts of lead ingots. Pulled by a chain, it runs on rails from a point over the wheels at the rear of the sled to the front, where it exerts increasing force on a metal pan sliding on the ground. The speed at which the box moves, and thus the increase in resistance, can be controlled by an operator riding in a cabin on the back of the sled. He also can shut off the tractor or brake the sled to a halt with a console full of safety switches. Despite the cost of the sport, Lee Hitt said that “the most expensive machine doesn’t always win. Nobody hits it all the time . . . even the little guys win sometimes.” Saturday was one of those days for Mr. Hitt. After winning first place at Wakefield, Va., his first time out this year, he finished fifth in the 5,800-pound class and seventh in the 6,200 class. Mr. Nicholson also had a mixed day. After trying unsuccessfully to keep “Little Bit’s” front wheels on the track in the 5,800 and 6,200 classes, he Was left with a disappointing third place finish in both classes. After moving all the weight to the front of his tractor he pulled to a “runaway” victory in the 9,200 heavyweight class. At the end of the afternoon, Bill* Simmons seemed to sum up the feeling of everyone involved with the sport. He sat on the side of the Shenandoah Sled,” his clothes and skin covered with a thin layer of dust, his hands greasy from working with the sled all day. He squinted beneath the brim of his baseball cap at the setting sun, and with a grin on his face and a twinkle in his eyes, said, “I really get carried away at tractor pulls.

School Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter THOMAS S, CAMPBELL, Assistant Superintendent of Rappahannock County schools, delivered the keynote address at last Friday’s Awards Assembly at RCES. Students and faculty members were recognized for outstanding achievements. A number of Principal’s Awards were also presented to members of the community who have made significant contributions to the elementary school during the past school year. Sociology class raises egg babies By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Special Writer Mrs. Deb Mills’ sociology class at Rappahannock County High School experienced the responsibilities of parenthood for a week. Each student cared for an egg as a parent would care for its baby. Student Edie Eastham explained the project. “We had to make an egg baby and we had to take it around . for a week and pretend like it was our own baby. We had to pay a babysitter five cents an hour before we went out. We had to see that it was cared for every minute. We also kept a journal on it and wrote when we changed it, fed it, if the baby had a bad night and things like that. ” The students first blew the contents out of the egg. They created a face on the egg to match the personality of their “child.” Some soon discovered that when they washed their “baby’s” face it completely washed off, so clear fingernail polish was used on the egg to act as a sealant. Student Heather Blevins commented, “My jaws were sore from blowing out the egg. I got a small egg because I thought it would be easiest to blow but ii took me ten minutes.” The students encountered some problems in caring for their egg. Student Susan Lesh describes one of them. “I had to take it to SATs with me. I stuck it in a duffle bag because nobody there knew I had to carry it around with me. I didn’t want anybody to think I was crazy so I had to be really careful nobody kicked the bag. I had to carry it into several stores because we went shopping afterwards. It was a real pain!" Susan concluded. Edie Eastham found it necessary to take hers with her to court and it stayed in the church nursery during Sunday School. One student took his “baby” outside with him when he played football. Upon returning to class he had colored the face red because it had gotten a sunburn. Each student introduced their “baby" and told of its personality, characteristics, and habits. Heather Blevins was the only student with a preemie. “Korie Amber is much smaller than most of the babies. She likes to be held,” Heather commented. Elizabeth Jenkins’ “baby” had an untimely accident—she fell out of her crib on the last day of the project and cracked. “She had been a real pain because I had to carry her around everywhere. But I really got upset when it cracked!” Elizabeth stated. Bonnie Grimsley’s “baby” was the only one with a diaper. Buster, Wendy Stringfellow’s “baby”, had a bad night because he Lee named to dean’s list Thomas E. Lee, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas E. Lee of Washington, has been named to the Dean's List of honor students for the spring semester at Shenandoah College and Conservatory. Lee is a junior majoring in respiratory therapy at Shenandoah. In order to be named to the Dean’s List, a student must be enrolled full-time in the college and must carry a minimum of 12 semester hours or more of course work and have a grade point average of 3.25 or above. Located in Winchester, Shenandoah is a private, co-educational college and conservatory of music affiliated with the United Methodist Church. It has four academic schools: the School of Arts and Sciences, the Harry F. Byrd Jr. School of Business, the School of Nursing and Health Professions, and the Conservatory. jVjya jV[f| #va u V/fl; at 11 FOUR BROADWAY HITS HELLO IOU!

Both were model “children.” “Tinky has big eyes like her father. He holds her a lot but he doesn’t change diapers,” lamented “parent” Molly Ubben. Tracy Sutphin’s “little one” rested comfortably in its cradle while Tina Scheidigger’s Candice Christine was growing hair. Several of the students attached cotton to the top of the egg in order to cover the hole made when blowing out the yolk. Susan Lesh was the only student with a toddler on her hands. “I think he was resentful of his baby sister because he couldn’t understand why she was there,” Susan explained. Mrs. Mills described the purpose of the project. “We had been talking about being responsible, the problems mothers have when they go back to work, and how men’s and women’s roles have changed. So I thought it was a good time to do something like this. I hope it gave them an idea of what it’s like to be responsible for somebody else or to somebody else,” concluded Mrs. Mills. Students’ grades were based on how well they took care of their egg and the journal that was kept. Seven of 16 eggs made it through the whole week without an accident. Others were involved in such accidents as falling out of lockers or being dropped. One student solved this problem by devising a safety belt for her “baby” (a rubber band). Most students agreed that being “parents” was nice for a short time but they were glad when the long week was over at last. Be Resourceful. Recycle.

WOOD, Senior Class president and member of the National Honor Society, receives his diploma from RCHS Principal Robert Chappell at commencement Saturday morning. Graduates head to the ‘real world’ The vistas may seem open and free, “but you’re not really free — no one is. You have a background, a heritage and lots of experiences together... The ‘real world’ has more rules and regulations... and Mr. Chappell won’t be looking over your shoulder. You’ll be free -- to fall on your face,” said Ms. Sally Bristol, keynote speaker at the commencement exercises of the Class of 1986, Rappahannock County High School. “That’s when you find out what you’re made up of,” she continued. Ms. Bristol exhorted the graduates to strive to do the best they can, but to “remember when...(the) spitballs on the ceiling; chairs glued to the floor... those ‘friendly’ comments about the Redskins and the Cowboys.” She invoked Thomas Woolfs famous saying “You can’t go home again,” adding that “you have to make life good on your own.” She concluded her remarks about the ‘real world’ by relating a portion of Bill Cosby’s recent commencement address. Mr. Cosby said, “we older people are waiting for you in the ‘real world' - we like fresh meat.” Last Saturday morning 81 seniors became alumni at the high school, receiving their diplomas and best wishes from principal Robert Chappell and vice-principal John Toth. Valedictory and salutatory addresses were given by Natalie Butler and Tara Fisher. Scholarship recipients included Sharon Payne, who was the winner of both the Rappahannock Extension Homemakers’ and the Lord Fairfax Community College scholarships. Karen Jordan received the Masonic Scholarship. Natalie Butler, Lisa Freeman and Deryk Moore shared the Rappahannock Garden Club Scholarship. Lisa Freeman also received the R.C.H.^. Merit Club Award. Deryk Moore was also honored with the Wingfield Scholarship. Kenny Jenkins received three awards: the R.C.H.S. Literary Award, the Ruritan Award and the Rappahannock Farm Bureau Award. The David Semmes Memorial Scholarship was presented this year to Will Oliver. The Baum Scholarship was awarded to Rob Brown. Recognition was also extended to the following members of the National Honor Society: Robert J. Brown, Wendy Lou Burke, Natalie Butler, Tara Fisher, Marilyn Hickerson, Kenneth B. Jenkins, Karen Jordan, Robyn Kent, Charlotte Magee, Deryk Moore, William Oliver and H. B. Wood. Following the presentation of diplomas, Mr. Chappell charged the graduates, adding that “we’ll miss you. Godspeed...Please come back and visit - or write.” Trades students build house modules By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Special Writer The building trades classes at Rappahannock County High School have completed five house modules. Teacher Ron Vickers initiated this idea in order to bring together all the skills his students had learned during the school year. The modules required knowledge in carpentry, plumbing, electricity and interior finishing. However actually incorporating these into a wall section caused a few problems. “They knew how to thread pipe and cut pipe for the plumbing but then when they had to drill the hole in the stud they found out a little extra detail about plumbing. The hole that is drilled through the wall has to be lined up,” explained Mr. Vickers. “By doing these modules they got a lot more experience working with the interior. Until now we had never done a tile floor, worked with interior molding, base molding or shoe molding along the floor,” he continued. Each module had a light and either a three-way or two-way switch and at least one socket. They all had an outside faucet with a pipe running through the dry wall, interior molding and a tile floor. Some groups put up exterior trim to make their module look like a bam. The modules were painted according to the group’s wishes. Mr. Vickers told his classes that he would keep the best module to PUBLIC SALE OF CLARKE COUNTY REAL ESTATE I will sell the following, located 5 miles southwest of Berryville, Va., 1 mile south on Rt. 340, turn west onto Rt. 657, go approx. 3 miles, turn south onto Rt. 652, go 1 /2 mile to bend in road.

The others would be salvaged for materials that could be used for other projects. Each group tried to make their module the best and impress the judges, Mrs. Biggs and Mr. Bomberger. “I thought it was good for them to do this to learn new things but also to repeat things they knew before,” Mr. Vickers commented. “For instance when we built the sheds in the fall I tried to get everybody to nail shingles on but some people got more of it than others. So this time everybody got a chance to help.” Student Tim Stringfellow was leader of his group of workers. Tim was selected by his peers to be leader because of his skills and knowledge. He said, “I had fun doing it and I could tell everybody else enjoyed it, too.” “We laid tile and did interior trim. We had never done that before but I think I could lay a kitchen floor now. You just have to get it at the right angle and the intersecting lines have to line up,” Tim concluded. Student Charles Slaughter thought the hardest thing was hooking the electrical wires together. “Now, I feel sure I could build a shed with electricity and plumbing,” he said proudly. Mr. Vickers w'as pleased with the outcome of the sheds. He said, “The main thing is the students felt good about it. They knew what they were doing and they had plans to go by so I mainly just had to help them make judgments. Completing something like this builds morale and gives them confidence in themselves.” LFCC offers solar course Lord Fairfax Community College will offer a course entitled “Principles of Passive Solar Architecture” during summer session.

Baseball games, track meets, field trips, and weekends of sun each have played a major role in the lives of Rappahannock County High School students. But recently a large number of students got serious and began to give thought to their futures... Career Day was conducted May 7 at RCHS. Twenty-three specialist in fields ranging from veterinary science to commercial photography came to talk with students one onc one. Representatives from the armed forces also were present. The visit gave students a chance to learn more about their opportunities after high school. For those who have already decided upon a specific career, Career Day enabled them to come in contact with professionals in their chosen fields. Ninety-eight juniors and seniors participated in the beneficial event. Commented Senior Alasdair Earley, “I think Career Day was a great opportunity for students to see what life after high school is all about. ” Musical scheduled Uniquely Yours, a new musical drama exploring the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the variety, richness and individuality they give each of our lives, will be presented at Front Royal United Methodist Church on Thursday evening, June 19, at 7:30. Performing will be the Summer Players from Johnson Memorial United Methodist Church in Huntington, W. Va. A talented group of 29 high school and college youth, they have performed throughout the eastern United States and as far, west as El Paso, Texas. Uniquely Yours tells the story of a youth group preparing for their annual “Youth Sunday” service and the growth they experience as they explore the various gifts they have been given and search to find their own special niche in life. The show is liberally spiced with humor, has a tuneful musical score, and is a perfect entertainment for the whole family. This musical drama was written for the Summer Players by Albert Zabel and Trilby Jordan who have previously collaborated on a number of highly successful and much performed musicals. Zabel, who is director of Music Ministries at Johnson Memorial Church, will direct the performance. Accompaniment will be provided by piano and a group of instrumentalists. The public is cordially invited to attend the program. Admission is free, but an offering will be received. Learn about high blood pressure Do you have questions about high blood pressure?

Taxes Continued from page 1 “You're reducing the rate and raising the assessment ratio. But you don’t advertise the assessment ratio — just the rate,” the accountant explained. Mr. Cox noted that Rappahannock’s advertised 64-cent levy on real estate is the highest in the area. He added, however, that the county's rate on personal property is among the lowest; at $2.10 assessed on full value, it still will fall at the lower end of the scale. By unanimous vote, the supervisors set the personal property tax rate at $2.10 and requested the commissioner of revenue to apply that rate on 100 percent of the finance value of licensed motor vehicles. Even with that change, they noted, vehicles won’t be taxed at full value, since the finance value, as listed in the “Blue Book," is about 70 percent of actual worth. Line items reviewed Going through the proposed 1986-87 budget line by line, the supervisors added more than they whittled away. They trimmed $2,600 for secre' tarial help from legal fees, $2,000 in salary requests denied by the State Compensation Board for the Treasurer's assistant and part-time help, $1,175 from the judges’ request for furniture and equipment, $400 from equipment for the clerk’s office and $168 from health and welfare, the amount constituting the contribution requested from the county for the women’s abuse shelter. The total $6,638 reduction was more than offset by the inclusion of $12,000 for gas and oil inadvertently omitted from the sheriffs request. The board members also acknowledged that appropriations for animal control may have to be upped to cover shelter costs (see separate story). By consensus, the supervisors left untouched the $59,340 included in the proposed budget for fire and rescue. Of that, $38,230 is for insurance on buildings, equipment and grounds for Rappahannock’s five companies, the first time that bill will be paid by local government. “Insurance is taking a big chunk out of everybody’s budget,” noted Supervisor Hubert Gilkey, a member of Chester Gap’s Volunteer Fire Department. If the five local volunteer fire companies disbanded, the county, by law, would have to provide a fire station, he noted. The cost for salaries, equipment and building would be more than six times as much as the Fire and Rescue Association is requesting, Mr. Gilkey pointed out. “I think the majority of the people in the county support this,” he said. Elaborating on the financial crisis now facing Rappahannock’s emergency service providers, he reported that Chester Gap’s Fire Company is going to have to sell its carnival rides “because we can’t get insurance.” “I think rides are a thing of the past,” said Supervisor Estes, noting the difficulties everyone faces in securing insurance coverage. “I think carnivals are almost a thing of the past,” Mr. Gilkey added. “I can’t speak for the other companies but I can speak for Chester Gap. Last year, our operational budget was $20,000 and we raised $21,000. I think the margin’s just as close in other companies, too.” In addition to meeting operating expenses, emergency service providers must also generate money to replace equipment, Mr. Gilkey continued. “Our newest piece of fire equipment is a 1963 Ford. Our oldest is a 1953.” “I don’t think we’ve got any choice,” said Supervisor Newbill Miller, supporting the $38,230 request from Rappahannock’s Fire and Rescue Association. “I don’t see how the individual companies keep going now.” Still in the budget — at least for the time being — is a $10,000 allocation for the county’s share of health insurance premiums for sheriffs department personnel. Supervisor Gilkey noted that according to Sheriff John Henry Woodward, the amount is sufficient to pay the local half of premiums for constitutional officers, as well. County employees can’t get group health insurance unless local government pays half, Clerk Diane Bruce reminded the supervisors. “It looks like the State Compensation Board (which pays almost all law enforcement expenses) would pay for this,” said Supervisor J. R. Latham. Supervisor Estes reported that Sheriff Woodward has tried that route several times. “Most counties provide health insurance for employees,” Ms. Bruce noted. “I wouldn’t think the Compensation Board would be willing to pick up that cost when the counties are already doing it.” “Look at the wages a deputy makes,” Supervisor Gilkey asked his fellow board members. “That’s not much compensation for going out and putting your life on the line every day.” Providing health insurance as a fringe benefit may help retain employees, Mr. Gilkey said. “Personally, I would like to see this funded.” If health insurance is provided for the sheriffs department, the board must make it available to all county employees, Ms. Bruce noted. “But it’s not necessarily true that everybody will want to be on it,” she said, adding that women are generally covered by their husbands’ policies. She estimated the maximum who would want the benefit at 30 and the county’s cost at $12,000. No final decision was reached on the health insurance. “Let’s take it under advisement,” said Supervisor Estes. As to the six portable radios with repeaters requested by Sheriff Woodward, Supervisor Latham suggested postponing a decision there as well. The radios, a $12,000 expense, will give deputies the capability of communicating with the dispatcher when they are away from their vehicles, according to Sheriff Woodward. “Let’s sleep on it — maybe strike it after a while,” said Mr. Latham. “I’m not sure it’s a desperate need instead of just a convenience.” The board will take final action on the budget at a special meeting set for 9 a.m. on June 23. In the interim, they expect to get estimates on construction costs at the leased pound site and a more detailed projection on fee revenue from the building inspector.

ROBERT DIINPHY ' Pastor \ FAMILY WORSHIP CENTER, * WASHINGTON, VA. 8» l THIS WEEK WE l CELEBRATE FATHERS DAY y if My prayer is that every Father J a would come to THE FATHER and be '■ y born again. Jesus said in John 3:7 I ^ “Ye must be born again." He also ' # said, No man cometh unto the Fa- ; *ther, but by me. (John 14:6) y If all fathers would take charge of J their household and rule it in love and 5 wisdom of the Father God, there y would be no more heart aches, no y young people on alchol or drugs, no # children born out of wedlock, none of Y your children living in sin at all. You if y see, God the Father ordained the ^family and set it up in a way that it # cannot fail; IF we follow his instruction and our perfect example is Je$sus. This is why he said in I Peter jj2:21, to follow in his footsteps. You 5know there are a lot of bull-headed, yrebelous fathers that will not yield to § Jesus, and they are driving their chil#dren away, and thus comes the heart ^ache. II Chronicles 7:14 says, “If my #c y people, which are called by my ^name, shall humble themselves and gpray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear yfrom heaven and forgive their sin and gwill heal their land." a Fathers, the only answer to a 5 happy home is Jesus Christ and following His teachings. We here at # Family Worship Center love you all ^ with the love of God and we pray you yhave the best. Jesus said it this way in John #10:10, "The thief comes only to steal J and kill and destroy, I have come that y they may have life, and have it to the jfullness."

Newly elected officers for the 1986-87 school session are President Kristi Pendleton, Vice President Randy Jenkins, Secretary Leslie Nichols, and Treasurer Jonathan Watson. “This is what we go to school for,” he said. Mr. Butler agreed: “There’s not too many trailer fires you can stop. They go in minutes.” Mr. Croston, who is a lieutenant with the Amissville department, agreed with Mr. Butler. “They put a damn good stop on it,” he said as he surveyed the damage. “If they hadn’t gotten here when they did I’d have lost everything. . .I’ve seen this a thousand times — but it’s sure a lot different when it’s your own house,” he added, shaking his head. In addition to Amissville Company 3, Company 1 from Washington and Flint Hill Company 4 also responded to the alarm.

NEWLIN (left) and crime scene investigator C. R. Wilmore examine the Timmons residence for evidence. Shooting Continued from page 1 Hospital by the Washington Volunteer Fire Department’s Advanced Life Support Unit. According to Roger Roach, chief of the Washington department and one of the cardiac technicians who worked on the victim, Mr. Timmons was in cardiac arrest at the scene. 'Chief Roach and several other medics resuscitated Mr. Timmons on the way to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later. Mr. Roach described Mr. Timmons’ wound as “traumatic injuries to the left side of the neck and head.” Brown, named in a statewide bulletin broadcast by the State Police within hours of the shooting, called Lt. Jenkins in Madison on luuuviaj uivi “He said he wanted me to come and get him,” Lt. Jenkins said. Brown was arrested on Route 670 near Criglersville in Madison County and served with the two Madison County warrants about 10:30 a.m., the lieutenant said. Police Saturday night also were looking for a vehicle described as a maroon 1986 Isuzu pickup. Authorities this week released no information about the vehicle or whether it had been found. Numerous State Police units responded to the shooting scene on Saturday night. In addition to Trooper H. A. Newlin, who arrived first, a five-man tactical squad under the command of Sgt. R. W. O’Roark and a tracking dog handled by Trooper C. M. Berry conducted a thorough, but fruitless, search of the heavily-wooded area surrounding the Timmons house, a well-kept, slate-blue bungalow close to the road.

W. Anderson assisted in the search for a suspect in the shooting of Aurelious W. Timmons last weekend. C. R. Wilmore, working out of Culpeper, led the Evidence Collection Team. Evidence retrieved from the scene included a shotgun and several shotgun shells. Additional units, including an armoured car, were placed on standby alert in the area. On Sunday a State Police helicopter conducted an aerial search of the area, including northern Madison County. Sgt. Gregory said the ongoing investigation is “a team effort. It’s a real good example of different jurisdictions and units working together.” He added that the State Police are being assisted in their investigation by the Rappahannock and Madison County Sheriffs Departments. Aurelious Timmons was described as “a quiet, family sort of a guy,” by his sister-in-law Linda Tim mons. “He was such a good-natured person . . . People enjoyed being around him. He always had something funny to tell.” Mr. Timmons was born in Orange, one of 15 children whose mother is still alive, according to Mrs. Timmons. He worked at Virginia Metal Products (now Industries) in Orange “for over 20 years,” his sister-in-law said. “He was always joking with the guys at work . . . In all the years, I’ve never known him to so much as argue with anyone.” “He lived a quiet life — an average family man. It’s so sad something like this could happen to a man.” Mr. Timmons is survived by his wife Allie Woodward, a son, Gary Worth Timmons, a daughter, Gail T. Weakley of Etlan, and his mother, Mabel Kube Smith of Unionville.
