Virginia 22747 Phone 675-3349 25 cents Four-lane Rt. 211 is ‘top priority’ By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer “The need for (widening of) Rt. 211 to four lanes is top priority,” said Del. Raymond R. “Andy” Guest, Rappahannock’s representative in Virginia’s House of Delegates, during an interview Saturday. In addition to the stretch between Washington and Sperryville, Del. Guest suggested that additional widening and passing lanes be provided on the section of Rt. 211 west of Sperryville going up to Thornton Gap. Don Askew, Resident Highway Engineer for the Culpeper District, said last week that $200,000 for preliminary engineering and right-ofway acquisition for Rt. 211 between Washington and Sperryville has been included in the Department of Highways Critical Highway Improvement Program (CHIP) for fiscal year 1986-87. That outlay will be followed by an additional $650,000 in FY 1987-88. Those appropriations do not include any money for actual construction. The $63.5 million to be spent state-wide for CHIP projects is a result of an increase in the gasoline tax effective on July 1. “We’re in limbo as far as reopening Rt. 17 (to truck traffic)...’’ — Don Askew Asked about additional funding for construction, as well as a time schedule for completion of the Rt. 211 project, Mr. Askew said that “we won’t know about that until after the Governor’s Commission (on Transportation Into the 21st Century) submits its recommendations ... (but) being in the CHIP program I would think that funding will come soon. We are anxiously awaiting what the panel and the legislature will do.” Mr. Askew also said that he is “well aware of the problem” of increased truck traffic in Rappahannock due to the closing of Rt. 17 in Fauquier County. He explained that the Commissioner of Highways and Continued on page 16 Pethtel denies request for ban By Lou Hatter Rappahannock News Staff Writer Del. Raymond R. (Andy) Guest last week released a letter which he received from State Highway Commissioner Ray D. Pethtel in reply to a request which Mr. Guest made for a truck ban on Rt. 522 from Front Royal to Rt. 211. Mr. Guest’s letter, dated June 11, followed by nine days a fatal accident involving two tractor-trailers, a car and a farm tractor on Rt. 522 just south of Chester Gap in Rappahannock County. Mr. Pethtel’s reply stated that “Although traffic conditions along this two-lane facility are not improving to any extent, we feel that a truck ban is not appropriate at the present time due to the low number of truck related accidents. .. “A review of the accident data and traffic volumes on Route 522 before and after November 19, 1984, .. we feel that a truck ban is not appropriate at this time due to the low number of truck related accidents.” - Ray D. Pethtel when the restriction was placed on Route 17 between Warrenton and Marshall, indicates the following. The average daily volume of tractortrailer traffic has steadily increased from 30 in 1983. . .(to) 105 in 1986.. .

Two killed, five hurt in Rt. 211 cr ash TWO VICTIMS WERE AIRLIFTED to the U.Va. Medical Center in Charlottesville in the Pegasus medical helicopter. By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer A pleasant vacation drive through Rappahannock County to the Blue Ridge Mountains came to a sudden tragic end Monday afternoon for two families from Schenectady, N. Y. According to Trooper R. A. Baines, a 1986 Pontiac station wagon driven by Nitin M. Sevak, 44, was westbound on Rt. 211 at the Rappahannock Farmers Cooperative when it was struck head-on by an eastbound 1979 Freightliner tractor operated by Johnny Lester Wimer, of Broadway, Va., and owned by Perdue Farms, Inc., Salisbury, Md. The driver apparently applied his brakes and skidded into the station wagon, Trooper Baines said. After the collision both vehicles slid off the shoulder of the westbound lane and came to a halt in a deep drainage ditch *1) front of the Co-op. The station wagon rested on its roof, pinned underneath the cab of the tractor. As rescue personnel worked feverishly in the blazing sun to extricate the car’s occupants, the smell of diesel fuel from the truck's punctured fuel tank filled the air around the scene. Three children in the car managed to climb out of the wrecked vehicle and were being comforted by passing motorists when rescue workers arrived. They suffered minor injuries and were taken to area hospitals. Ricky Sevak, 11, and Tini Sevak, 6, were taken to Warren Memorial Hospital in Front Royal, where they were treated and released in the care of relatives. Zubin Gautan was transported to Fauquier Continued on page 16 BZA sees permit challenge ahead In an otherwise routine meeting of the county’s Board of Zoning Appeals last Wednesday, zoning administrator John McCarthy alerted the BZA to a probable challenge of a special use permit. At issue is a permit issued to Sally Sharp in 1984 for temporary housing of agricultural workers. “The neighbors (Mr. and Mrs. Henry Gorfein) allege that there have been violations,” Mr. McCarthy told the BZA last week. According to the zoning administrator, the permit initially approved by the BZA specifies that “workers housed in the facility be not more than 10 in number, and may not include their families, on a 225-acre farm,” and that “these workers be employed on land owned or rented by the Sharps, only.” Mountain Green, the Sharps’ orchard outside the town of Washington in Harris Hollow, is “no longer a 225-acre farm,” said Mr. McCarthy, noting that at least two family subdivisions have reduced the acreage set out in the special use permit. In addition, in a letter to the Sharps’ attorney, Douglas Baumgardner, the zoning administrator noted that the sewage disposal system construction permit issed by the Health Department “clearly shows that the approval is for three months only.” He acknowledged, however, that there is no 90-day limit on occupancy by migrant farm workers in the temporary housing delineated “explicitly or implicitly” by the permit or in the minutes of the BZA’s July 25 meeting. “I am awaiting a transcription of the full record. . .and will review same to determine whether or not the time condition of 90 day occupancy was stated, as has been alleged by the Gorfeins. . .” Mr. McCarthy wrote. In his letter to Mr. Baumgardner, the zoning administrator disagreed with the Sharps’ position that no special use permit is required since the housing for migrant farm workers falls under the category of accessory uses and is thus allowed by right. Mr. McCarthy pointed out that the ordinance specifically states “no such accessory building shall be used for housekeeping purposes.” “What’s this got to do with us?” asked BZA member Gregory Monahan after the zoning administrator’s report, noting that enforcement of conditions attached to a special use permit is not the BZA’s responsibility. “I’ve been in contact with attorneys for both sides, and there will probably be an appeal of any decision I make,” Mr. McCarthy said. He added that an appeal of the zoning administrator’s action goes to the BZA. “At the very least, you will receive a new (special use) permit request on this matter.” In action at last Wednesday’s session, the BZA gave unanimous approval to: — Monica K. Rifaat for a second dwelling on a 282-acre farm off Route 211 near Washington. The two-bedroom, one-bath residence is to be used as housing for a farm worker. — A 4x5-foot double sided sign for a bed and breakfast business on property owned by John and Helen Dixon near Amissville, specifying that the spotlight illuminating the sign must be turned off by midnight. — A special use permit from Ashby Jenldns, member of the board Continued on page 15 Turnover leaves half veterans after five years By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer At its July meeting, the Rappahannock County School Board accepted the resignations of 13year veterans Don and Judy Bomberger, bringing the number of vacancies from the 1985-86 school year to 12 and the turnover rate to 17 percent. The figure is a significant drop from last year’s 37 percent, yet classrooms will still be directed by relative newcomers at the blackboards. Of the 70 men and women who will teach in the county’s elementary and high schools in 1986-87, only 33—or 47 percent—were with the system five years ago, according to Superintendent Robert Estabrook. Mr. Estabrook pointed out, however, that teachers’ salaries have climbed right along with the teacher turnover rates. “If you look at the last two years, salaries have gone up by 24 percent, and if you look at the last three, they’ve gone up by 34 percent,” he reported. “I doubt if many other school divisions have done as well,” the superintendent said, describing the increases as “spectacular and very supportive of our instructional staff.” Yet he acknowledged that low pay is the reason for leaving given most often by departing teachers. “While our pay increases in Rappahannock have been substantial in the last three years, we started out so low. That’s the problem. We’re still not competitive with the sur rounding counties." Despite the 34 percent pay hike over the past three years, Rappahannock ranked 127th out of 136 Virginia school divisions in starting salary last year and 128th in top salary paid to veteran teachers. Although salary is cited most often by teachers who choose not to stay in Rappahannock schools, there are other factors that lead them to return contracts unsigned, according to the superintendent. Social activities in the county are limited. “Especially our younger teachers want more of an opportunity to meet people,” he said. Lack of housing— both to rent and to buy—is another obstacle to keeping teachers, Mr. Estabrook added. “Salary, social opportunities, housing—those are the main things we hear.” This year, vacancies have not come in the harder-to-fill special education and vocational education slots. After interviewing more than 60 applicants, the administration and School Board have found replacements for kindergarten, fifth grade and high school English. Gary Leake, former star of the RCHS basketball court and baseball diamond, will return to the gym to teach,physical education and coach both boys’ and girls’ varsity basketball. Assignments have been shifted: teachers already on staff Continued on page 16 ‘Couldn’t wait any longer,’ says departing veteran “I hope there’s someone at the school who will take the torch and continue to work to have salaries improved,” said high school teacher Don Bomberger, who resigned last month, along with his wife Judy, after 13 years in the Rappahannock school system. “We’re leaving because we feel we weren’t financially supported for the wrork we were doing in the schools,” explained Mr. Bomberger, adding that he had decided two years ago he couldn’t wait any longer for that support. An activist in the Rappahannock County Education Association who worked ceaselessly to upgrade school facilities, programs and pay scales, Mr. Bomberger taught advanced mathematics and art, directed two high school plays every year and introduced computers and computer classes at RCHS. Judy Bomberger taught music at both schools, directed the Rappahannock High School Chorus and various musical programs at the elementary school and worked with her husband on the high school’s spring musical. Selected by The Rappahannock News as its Citizens of the Year in 1983, the Bombergers gave as generously of their time and talents to the community at large, in the Rappahannock Players, the Rappahannock Singers and the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community. “I don’t like to think I’m giving up,” said Mr. Bomberger in an interview Tuesday. “It’s my family I’m looking out for,” he'explained, adding that he wanted his wife to be able to take off work a few years to raise a family. “That was financially impossible in Rappahannock County —or if not impossible, then extremely difficult. The opportunity I have now allows that to happen." He’s working for a computer firm in Harrisonburg. “I’ll still be teaching,” said the 13-year classroom veteran. “Just the ages will change. I’ll be teaching the staffs at colleges and universities who will be using computer systems for bookkeeping, financial aid, admissions.” Part of the job is work as a system’s analyst— “I’ll be analyzing their specific situation and how the software can be changed to meet their needs”—and part is work as a programmer, making those actual changes in the software. “I’ll still be in education, using the experience I’ve gained in computers,” Mr. Bomberger explained. And he’s spending the summer exactly as he did as a teacher at Rappahannock County High School. “I’m reading books, studying manuals, trying to figure out new software so I can teach it in the coming year—only I’m getting paid!” Since coming to Rappahannock in 1973 as first year teachers, graduates of Eastern M( nnonite College, the Bombergers realized that salaries here presented a problem. “And that problem still exists,” Mr. Bomberger emphasized. “In 1973, there wasn’t the support in the community for teachers’ salaries to improve. And I still don’t really see that support.” . He acknowledged that the county has a small tax base to draw on. “Yet there are a lot of people here who can afford higher taxes,” Mr. Bomberger maintained. “In Rappahannock, you have the very rich and the very poor and very few Continued on pajfe 15

Cub Scout Olympics set The Shenrapawa District of the Shenandoah Area Council, Boy Scouts of America, will hold a Cub Scout Olympics on Saturday, August 2, rain or shine. This year’s Olympics will be held at the Northern Virginia 4-H Educational Center, Front Royal. Registration will begin at 8:30 a.m. and the closing ceremony will end at 3:30 p.m. Cub Scouts may register the day of the event. This year marks the 14th year for this annual Shenrapawa event. The Cub Scouts will be divided into age groups and compete in six Olympic events. The events are standing long jump, situps, pushups, 50 yard dash, basketball shoot and softball throw. Place ribbons will be presented for each event and medals will be awarded for each age group. The Shenrapawa District, one of the three districts of the Shenandoah Area Council, provides a Scouting experience for youth in Shenandoah, Page, Rappahannock and Warren counties. The Cub Scout program is for boys ages 7 through 10. The Shenandoah Area Council, Boy Scouts of America, is a participating agency of the Winchester-, Frederick and Clarke Counties United Fund, the Front Royal-Warren County United Way, the United Way of Berkeley County, W.

Students attend Young Writers Workshop Doretha Butler and Heather Kilpatrick were among 80 students selected from applicants across the country to attend the second session of the Young Writers Workshop at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville. During the two-week workshop, the young writers selected an intensive program from among four offerings in fiction, poetry, scriptwriting or songwriting. The instructors at the Workshop are published authors in their respective fields. In addition to the workshop the students chose from electives including improvisational drama, philosophy, personal mythology, photography and word processing. The counselors for the electives were skilled writers, musicians, artists and dancers. They designed and taught the afternoon electives using methods which integrated all of the arts with the writing workshop. The students also attended evening activities including a performance of Dracula, a social, a writers’ cafe and staff readings. County shares in ABC profits Profits generated by the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control for the third quarter (January through March) of the 1985-86 fiscal year have resulted in distribution of $2,917,130.27 to Virginia’s counties, cities and towns, including $3,189 to Rappahannock County. The figure represents two-thirds of the Department’s profits for the period, after statutory adjustments, and a one-third distribution to the General Fund of the Commonwealth. Profits came largely from the sale of distilled spirits, cordials and wines at state operated ABC stores. ABC profits are distributed on a per capita basis at the rate of 55 cents for the period. Counties and cities will also share on a per capita basis $829,198.35 that was generated from the sale of wine. Under the liter tax, 22 percent of the total tax collected from the sale of wine is earmarked for distribution to counties and cities, and 66 percent of the tax goes to the State General Fund. The remainder is retained by the ABC Department as operating revenue. Slaughter’s rep at courthouse Representative D.

Almost heaven’ at Camp Vesuvius Rappahannock News photo/Daphne Hutchinson NATURE CAMP PARTICIPANTS Leslie Nichols (left), and April Adams. By LESLIE NICHOLS Rappahannock News contributing writer I bet you don’t know that birds might be the descendants of reptiles. Bet you haven’t considered the fact that “death must precede life” or that there’s no “free lunch.” And did you know that cockroaches will one day be the dominant life form on this earth? It’s things like this that one discovers at Nature Camp. The camp, sponsored by the Federation of Virginia Garden Clubs and nestled in the mountains of Vesuvius (Virginia, that is), meets the dictionary definition: “a place in the country for vacationers, especially children, with outdoor recreation, often organized and supervised.” It is all that—and much more. Over 11 days, we had 11 courses, ; choosing from a list that included the likes of mammalogy, archeology, botany and limnology. We selected a major, ohe'class to take twice a day for five days. The rest were left as minors, to be taken only (only?) once, two at a time for five days. Major days were alternated with minor days, with neither scheduled on Sundays. Each course centered on a different aspect of the environment, its purpose and how it can be preserved and protected. Every camper was required to keep a notebook. We had to take notes in each class and write reports for each. Don’t get the wrong idea—camp wasn’t all work. We had periods for both rest and recreation. During recreation time, we could hike, run, swim or play volleyball and tetherball. Or we could spend seemingly endless hours in the camp THYMES Natural Foods for a full selection of groceries, cheeses, vitamins, herbs & spices, books, produce, and body care products.

Main Front Royal 636-2020 J library working on our reports. It was impossible to do nothing during recreation periods. Rest periods were the direct opposite. Anything we wanted to do had to be quiet and had to be accomplished on our bunk beds. It wasn’t just the daylight hours that were full. Ne’er an evening passed without a special program. Each began with a rousing bit of singing. Then sometimes our counselors would share their experiences in such far away places as the Philippines, Galapagos Islands and Ecuador through slide shows. We had camper and counselor talent night, movies, a bonfire complete with Civil War ghost stories and a visit from a bluegrass band—which was actually much more fun than it sounds. On the Sunday midway through our stay at Vesuvius, we were offered a choice of five hikes; everyone had to choose one. The average hike began around 9 a.m. and ended at 6 p.m., and the longest covered about 10 miles. Afterwards, a service was held in the camp chapel. Nature Camp is unique. There’s no electricity, except on Friday and Sunday, and no radios are permitted. But the camp has a library, a museum, a lab and even a canteen. We slept in cabins, on bunk beds. We followed a winding path from the bunk house to the latrine. Showers were not allowed in the morning or at night, so we had to squeeze one*in during some other time of the day. Inevitably, when we found the time, we didn’t find any hot water. So we did what we could, starting off by standing in the shower and finishing with a sponge in the sink. (Someone told me that the hot water ran through the boys’ latrine before it reached us. I KNOW that was a camp joke, but every time I reached for the spigot, I remembered the story.) Each day, we campers were assigned chores: bunk house clean-up, latrine clean-up, table setting. And every day, every bunk house wing was inspected. Everything had to be immaculate. It was the people who made this camp special. We had more than 80 campers, both boys and girls, and 20 counselors. There was no peer pressure, no drugs, no anything—just a gang of high school kids who accepted each other for what they were. We published a camp newspaper, and most of the news told of our love for the place. Closing ceremonies were particularly stirring. Awards were presented. Then candles were lighted. Everyone circled the mess hall, candles held high in tjie dark. We walked to the pool, each of us made a wish and we set our candles afloat. The counselors recited poetry to the accompaniment of sobs and sniffles. You could FEEL how wonderful the place was. We were sworn under the Benedictine Silence—no one could utter a syllable. But words were unnecessary. Hands firmly grasped in friendship said everything. This has got to be the closest thing to heaven. The Rappahannock County Garden Club has sent 1*9 youngsters to the Vesuvius Nature Camp since beginning its scholarship program in 1950. In the past, some of the participants were children of club members. In more recent years, the children of those children have journeyed to Vesuvius. The Garden Club’s objective in providing the full tuition scholarships is to give Rappahannock students an experience in camping and to stimulate an interest in nature study and conservation among the county’s young people. The majority of the money to support the Nature Camp Scholarship Program comes from the annual sale of Christmas greens and decorations made by the Rappahannock County Garden Club members.

FRENCH SLAUGHTER, Jr., addresses a receptive audience at a fundraiser Saturday at Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Lane’s Hawthorn Farm. Also on hand to salute the Congressman, running unopposed for a second term, were (1. to r.) State Senator Kevin Miller, Delegate Raymond R. (Andy) Guest and Delegate George Beard. Former Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson (not pictured) also attended. Slaughter asks freer SSA Congressman D. French Slaughter, Jr. has supported legislation to establish the Social Security Administration as an independent agency. It would also prohibit the U.S. Treasury from disinvesting the Social Security trust funds to circumvent the debt limit. This legislation, H.R. 5050, creates a bipartisan, three-member Social Security Board to govern the agency. The board would have broad legislative, regulatory, and administrative authority and would generally serve as the policy-making arm of the agency. H.R. 5050 would also specifically prohibit the Treasury from tapping into the long-term assets of the Social Security trust funds to keep the government running when the debt limit has been reached. This bill will provide that the disinvestment of the trust funds that took place last year will not be repeated. The Congressman voted against the Appropriations Bill for the Department of Energy, Corps of Engineers and Bureau of Reclamation because he said Congress must reduce spending for the next budget year in order to meet the GrammRudman deficit reduction levels. This appropriations bill provides $15.5 billion in Budget Authority for next year, which is a 5 percent increase over this year. He voted in favor of an amendment offered by Representative Frenzel that would have held spending in this bill to last year’s level. This would have saved $792 million. “Obviously we must limit federal spending and many government activities in order to make progress on reducing the deficit,” Rep. Slaughter stated. Water to be off in town The water system in the Town of Washington will be shut off from Midnight, Monday, August 4 until 6 a.m. Tuesday, August 5, according to Ray Pullen, town water superintendent. Budget law continues The Supreme Court recently ruled that a portion of the GrammRudman law was unconstitutional. Senator Paul Trible explained that it is important to understand that the Supreme Court decision does not invalidate the Gramm-Rudman process. Rather, the decision only eliminates one provision—the automatic enforcement provision— that would have taken effect if the Congress failed to act responsibly. Gramm-Rudman was enacted with bipartisan support because the American people recognize that $2 billion deficits threaten our future as a nation and it is time to rein in spending, he said. “I belive the Congress will continue to honor that requirement.” Last March, the Congress voted to reduce overall spending by $12 billion in order to meet the mandate of Gramm-Rudman. In June, the Congress approved a budget for the next year that achieved savings of $40 billion, again meeting the mandate of Gramm-Rudman. In August, the Congressional Budget Office and the Office of Management and Budget will take a survey of the economy and report whether spending is on target or not. “If it is not, I hope, and believe that the Congress will take appropriate action,” Sen. Trible said. “The important thing is for the American people to continue to stand up and speak out and demand that the Congress make those tough and politically unpopular decisions that are essential in reining in government and to providing the kind of healthy, vibrant economy that we all want,” he concluded.

Published by the Rappahannock News, a division of Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. THURSDAY, JULY 31,1986 Editorial Those who serve The recent rash of accidents in Rappahannock County in the past week should have brought the efforts of a dedicated group of the county’s citizens into the spotlight. Too often, however, the volunteer fire fighters and rescue squad members who serve without pay, giving their own time to protect the lives and property of their neighbors, go unnoticed except in cases where someone finds fault — deserved or not — with their actions or procedures. Some of those volunteers responded to all three accidents: 3 a.m. Saturday morning, noon Monday, and again about 2 p.m. Monday. They don’t go to the scene of automobile accidents, or fires, or illness because they get any pleasure from their often grisly jobs. They go because they feel a sense of responsibility toward their neighbors — to offer their assistance to people in trouble. Two people died at the scene of the accident on Rt. 211 Monday afternoon. Two more may very well live because the first volunteers on the scene -— even before any equipment arrived — had the training to recognize that specialized assistance was needed and put in a call for Pegasus, the University of Virginia’s medical evacuation helicopter. These volunteers give their own time: 120 hours of training are required just to be allowed aboard a rescue squad vehicle, and fire fighters put in a comparable amount of training. They also work with equipment often literally scavenged from the throwaway pile of the departments in more affluent communities. Hoses, air packs, running gear— much is second hand and sometimes not a perfect fit. Like the equipment they work with, the volunteers are not perfect. They are not performing for the movies. There’s no director to yell “cut,” no doubles to step blithely from the twisted wreckage. They work in real-life, emotionally wrenching situations. They do their best. These dedicated people who also happen to be our neighbors deserve our thanks and support. They deserve our donations when their fundraisers call or stop by. No one should have a moment’s hesitation. When the tones sound on a Saturday morning at 3 a.m., the volunteers don’t hesitate. ..r Letters to the editor Letters to the editor on issues of public concern are welcome. The best letters are concise and should be typed and doubled-spaced if possible. To be considered for publication, a letter must bear the writer’s signature, address and daytime telephone number. w Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter Rappahannock Heritage EARLY MORNING FOG adds an ethereal presence to a pasture on Homer Henry’s farm at Castleton. Warner supports Gramm-Rudman II Observing that “it is the stick that will keep Congress focused on the need to continue its work to reduce, and eventually eliminate, the federal deficit,” Sen. John Warner (R-VA) said recently he is strongly supporting legislation introduced Wednesday by the same authors of last year’s sweeping deficit control effort. The measure—“Gramm-Rudman-Hollings II”—named for Senators Phil Gramm (R-Texas), Warren Rudman (R-NH) and Ernest Hollings (D-SC), seeks to satisfy objections to legislation introduced last year. “Last year Congress took an historic step in approving legislation designed to eliminate the federal budget deficit by 1991. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that part of this landmark legislation was unconstitutional. Gramm-Rudman-Hollings II seeks to satisfy the constitutional objections, so that we can keep our promise to the American people that the Congress is not going to go back and renege on its promise to slash the federal deficit,” said Warner. Two weeks ago, the Supreme Court ruled that the selection of the Comptroller General to perform certain budget reporting functions in the original Gramm-Rudman-Hollings measure was unconstitutional. The new legislation designated the Office of Management and Budget, rather than the Comptroller General, to implement across-the-board spending cuts that are required when Congress fails to meet deficitreduction targets specified in the law. “Members of both Houses of Congress voted overwhelmingly to approve the original Gramm-Rudman-Hollings process and it is my hope that the Congress will reaffirm its commitment to eliminating the federal deficit,” said Warner. “To not act at this time to renew our pledge to the American people to work for a balanced budget is simply wrong. At a time when the federal government must borrow 25 cents for every dollar it spends, the Congress cannot walk away from the problem. “I agree with Senator Hollings’ assessment of our current situation that: ‘On the way to the Supreme Court we got a flat tire.’ In my judgment, we should repair the tire and not build a new car.” Letter to the editor Not a meaningful figure i o me ecuior: George Sharp’s letter in the July 24 issue reports that last May he was “told by the school board office that $3.2 million has been budgeted-for the schools for a student body of about 940” in the school year that starts next September. And, says Mr. Sharp, “this comes to $3,400 per student.” And that, he says, is “substantially higher” than the $2,625.59 that we had noted earlier for perpupil spending in Rappahannock. Note first, please, that our ob servation that Rappahannock’s perpupil outlay of $2,625.59 per pupil was $274 less than the average of all Virginia counties was taken from the State Superintendent’s recent report of actual spending in the 198485 school year—two years earlier than the school year for which estimates were given Mr. Sharp. In any case, it would be wonderful, indeed, if the Rappahannock school board really had $3.2 million to spend on 940 students in the up coming year. Unfortunately, that $3.2 million figure includes a great deal of expense that has nothing to do with per-pupil costs during the regular school year—such as outlays for summer school, adult education, capital spending and the like. The $3,400 per-pupil figure simply is not meaningful.

Placement tests will now be required for entrance into English and math classes. If a student has not taken placement tests prior to registration, they may be taken the day a student registers on campus. Students already enrolled and/or having completed the required English and math courses are exempt from taking placement tests. It is requested that students interested in taking the tests call the Student Services Office at 399-1333, ext. 214, and make an,appointment. Pre-registration and advising for new students will be held on campus August 11-19. Day hours are from *9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and evening hours will be held on Mondays from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Students who declare a major will be assigned a faculty advisor. Registration for all students will be held two days this fall. Those days will be Wednesday, September 3, and Thursday, September 4. This registration will be held on campus with day hours from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and evening hours from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Registration for new students begins at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, September 3. Classes begin Monday, September 8. To avoid filled classes, students are encouraged to register September 3 and 4. Late registration will be held at numerous locations throughout Germanna’s service region during the first week of classes. The schedule of classes will be mailed to area homes on approximately August 5. For further information, contact the Admissions Office at Germanna at 399-1333, extension 213. Unemployment up RICHMOND — Despite record employment, students looking for summer work pushed the state’s jobless rate up two-tenths of a percent in a record 2.8 million, a gain of 53,600 from May. But the labor force swelled by 61,700 to a record 2.95 million. The VEC said the increase in the labor force caused the number of unemployed to rise by 8,100 last month. Virginia’s unemployment rate for May was 4.9 percent, which was a 19-month low. The national jobless rate last month was 7.2 percent. The state’s metropolitan areas saw a mixed unemployment picture last month. The jobless rate in the Lynchburg area dropped from 6.9 percent in May to 6.8 percent in June. In northern Virginia, the lowest unemployment area of the state, the rate was unchanged from May to June at 2.5 percent. The influx of students increased joblessness in Tidewater, Richmond and Roanoke. In Norfolk-Virginia Beach-Newport News, the rate jumped from 4.6 percent to 5 percent; Richmond-Petersburg, from 4.4 percent to 4.6 percent; and Roanoke, from 4.5 percent to five percent. Stafford County near Fredericksburg had the lowest rate among all localities in the state at 2.1 percent. Dickenson County in the southwest coalfields had the highest with 17.3 percent unemployment. The number of Virginians drawing jobless benefits was 45,000 last month. It was unchanged from May and slightly above the 44,000 level of June 1985. Because of an increase in prefilings for July vacation closings, new claims for jobless benefits rose to 5,200 per week in June from 4,200 per week in May, the VEC said. The state’s unemployment rate was down from June one year ago when it was 5.7 percent. Of the major metropolitan areas, only the Lynchburg area saw an increase from June 1985. Virginia's business Group pushes for roads RICHMOND — A group of Virginia business leaders has formed an association to help push Gov. Gerald L. Baliles’ transportation initiatives. The 12-member group, known as the Better Transportation Association, plans to mount a public relations campaign to win support for the governor’s multi-billion dollar transportation plans. William G. Thomas Jr., an Alexandria lawyer who is serving as coordinator of the group, said the members strongly support Gov. Baliles’ plans and hope to help educate the public, the media and members of the General Assembly about the state’s transportation needs. Papers better now WILLIAMSBURG — Competition from radio and television has forced newspapers to serve their readers better than they did 30 years ago, the chairman of The Associated Press told Texas newspaper publishers. Frank Batten, also chairman of Landmark Communications Inc. in Norfolk, said Saturday that editors once could afford to ignore readers’ wishes because the newspaper was the only significant source of news in town. “Now readers are more sophisticated, better educated, less accepting and literally saturated with information,” Mr. Batten told the Texas Daily Newspaper Association. Assessment charged WASHINGTON — Flue-cured tobacco farmers and buyers each will have to pay an assessment of 11/2 cents per pound on the 1986 crop to help pay for government price supports, Agriculture Secretary Richard E. Lyng has announced. Pentran bans ads HAMPTON — The Peninsula Transportation District Commission is banning tobacco advertising on its buses. Contracts with tobacco advertisers will be allowed to expire and Pentran will ask the advertising agency handling the bus advertisements to reject any more ads promoting those products, the commission decided Julv 24. J Tobacco companies have traditionally been large advertisers on buses, said Pentran Executive Director James L. O’Sullivan. The commission’s vote also included alcoholic beverages, but state law already prohibits such advertising. Board policy Jso prohibits political advertisements. Five plead guilty ir. WASHINGTON — Five people from Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia pleaded guilty Wednesday to involvement in a scheme that obtained $10 million in government-backed mortgages on homes in the district by defrauding the Department of Housing and Urban Development. One person, Ritchie Gaylen, a 51-year-old real estate broker who headed United Properties in northwest Washington but now makes his home in Jacksonville, Fla., also pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to brib^ ery of an appraiser of Washington, D.C. houses for the Federal Housing Administration and the Veterans Ad ministration. U.S. District Judge Harold H. Greene did not set a date for sentencing. Rates expected to fall RICHMOND — Most financial experts expect mortgage interest rates to fall, but are unsure of the size of the decrease, saying that international pressures will have a lot to do with the drop. Rates fell sharply in the spring, then blipping up a full percentage point in June, and recently have begun easing, said bankers. Applicants for 30-year loans can get fixed rate of about 10.125 percent instead of 10.5 or 11 percent. Dairy co-op for sale LAUREL, Md.— High’s Dairy Products Inc. has put its 352 convenience stores, an ice cream plant in Laurel, Md., and a milk plant in Frederick, Md., up for sale, but not without added safeguards for employees. The company, which is a division of Capitol Milk Products Cooperative Inc., is requiring bidders to make assurances that current employees will be retained. “Negotiations will take into account the interest of our people,” William R. Kiser, chief executive officer of Capitol Milk Products, the parent company, said Friday. “Whoever buys us will buy us intact, including management.” Mr. Kiser told the Northern Virginia Daily of Strasburg, Va., he will not consider bids under $50 million. In addition, bidders must guarantee to continue buying milk from member farmers for 10 years. High’s, which is privately held, is now owned by 154 member farmers who supply dairy products for the company to process and sell. When membership was at its height, 267 farmers belonged to the cooperative Mr Kiser said.

But the poets, philosophers, and experiences haunt us with the lostness of opportunity." That is, her hair is on her forehead and we must grab opportunity from the front because once passed, she has no hair behind to grasp And we miss the opportunity offered. A 10th century proverb haunts even more: “He that will not when he may, When he will shall have nay." But Francis Bacon takes the “luck" out of opportunity. Said he, A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds " There's the key! Opportunity does not so much knock on our doors as we must knock on her door. A wiser Man than all the rest put it this way: “Ask, and It will be given you; Seek and you will find; Knock, and It will be opened to you."

Buying a house now’s the time By SANDRA R. RICHARDSON Extension Agent If you’ve been considering buying a house, now may be the time. Home mortgage rates are at their lowest level in six years. Lower interest rates along with large numbers of houses for sale across the state have worked together to create a buyer’s market at the present time. Before signing a mortgage, however, you should check around for the best deal. A small difference in the interest rate can make a significant difference in the amount of money repaid over the life of the loan. Recent surveys indicate that in some locations, the interest rate may vary even more than one percentage point among lending institutions. When comparing interest rates, you will probably be quoted “note rate” rather than the annual percentage, usually called the APR. In addition to the note rate, you will be charged “points.” One point equals one percent of the mortgage amount. You also may be charged loan origination fees and mortgage insurance premiums. A federal law, the Truth in Lending Act, requires all lenders to follow the same rules when computing the APR. The APR takes these additional charges into consideration. Be sure that all costs are taken into account when shopping for a mortgage. Be sure to check that there is no penalty for early repayment of the loan. One of the decisions you will have to make will be whether to get a fixed rate mortgage, called FRM, or an adjustable rate mortgage, called ARM. Fixed rate mortgages carry a slightly higher interest rate, but the payments don’t change over the life of the loan. With adjustable rate mortgages, the initial rate of the loan is lower, but the rate may go up or down, depending on prevailing rates. If you get an ARM, be sure to get one that has a cap on the amount that the loan can go up in any one year. There is usually a two percent cap on any increases or decreases. Wih ARMs, the borrower shares some of the risk of the fluctuating interest rates with the lender. So, the interest rates are lower. When deciding between an ARM or FRM, individuals should assess their expected degree of financial security in the future. If you choose a fixed rate mortgage and the rates drop itiore than two percent, then it may pay to refinance. Therefore, even those opting for fixed rate mortgages are not stuck with a high mortgage rate when rates drop substantially. ► ADVERTISING DEADLINES • LOCAL DISPLAY ADVERTISING ] Rappahannock News Ads, Tuesday, 12 noon < Combo Ads < (one or more papers) , Monday, 3 p.m. < Real Estate Combo Ads < Friday, 4 p.m. ' CLASSIFIED < ADVERTISING < , Rappahannock News < Tuesday, 12 noon < Horse & Farm < Monday, 12 noon , < Combo Classified DisplayMonday, 3 p.m. - < Combo Word Ads - Monday, 5 p.m. " ■ *» * ^ * a a i ^ ^ ^ ^

MADISON RD., ORANGE * DLR #1644 * 672-3700 4-H competition is serious business Bu GREG TURNER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Perched on a fence, a rooster sounds off his own rendition of barnyard reveille. At 6 a.m. Bill Starks and his youngest son Tyrone head out to the pig pen to ready the hogs for loading. This morning is the beginning of a long day for the Starks and their hogs. Today is the showing of the swine at the Culpeper-Madison-Rappahannock Farm Show in Culpeper. Mr. Starks, a 4-H adult leader and his daughter Joyce, a 4-H junior leader, have been participating in the 4-H sponsored Farm Show for seven years. The truck is backed up to the loading ramp and the hogs are herded into the truck with unexpected ease. “It’s easier if you run them up there (the ramp) now and then to get the hogs used to it,” Mr. Starks said. With the hogs loaded, the Starks head out to the car wash in Culpeper. Bill Starks’ oldest son Irvin deposits the quarters and Mr. Starks sprays down the hogs. Ironically, they seem to enjoy it. Mr. Starks takes this opportunity to insert the nose rings—a metal ring pierced into the nose to keep the hogs from rooting. The squeals are ear-piercing and a small crowd gathers outside the stall. “You don’t see pigs at the car wash very often,” a bystander is overheard saying. After the wash (no wax) the hogs are taken to the Culpeper Agricultural Enterprise Center and loaded into a holding pen. Here the animals are weighed and prepared for the evening showing. In order to be eligible to compete, the hogs must weigh under 100 pounds on a previous weigh-in on April 22 and weigh between 190 and 250 pounds when weighed on the day of the competition. When show time arrives at 7 p.m. the anxieties are high and so is the temperature in the show ring. The judge takes his place in the center of the ring and the hogs, with their exhibitor, are released into the ring. The exhibitor, in this case Joyce Starks, leads the hog (or sometimes tries to—with six or seven hogs in the ring it’s confusing who is leading whom) around the ring using a cane. After several minutes of observation the judge takes the microphone and announces the winners, explaining to each exhibitor how he placed each hog. This gives the kids the opportunity to learn and improve their techniques for the next showing, explained Judge Frank Fesser. Joyce Starks, entered in the senior fitting and showing class, did well and placed third. She also placed second and fourth in the market hog class. Tyrone, Joyce’s younger brother, had a good showing also, placing fifth in the market hog class. “The 4-H provides an excellent opportunity for families and friends to work together in a productive and constructive atmosphere in a way that seems to becoming less common, especially in rural communities,” observed Mr. Fesser, a hog breeder from Maryland who volunteers his expertise to judge the pigs at the Farm Show.

Day realtor BEFORE YOU REJECT OFFER Suppose you receive an excellent offer to buy your home just one week after it has been placed on the market. Because you know an underpriced house sells quickly, you may be skeptical of a good offer which comes in promptly . It is human nature to argue that “if I received such a good offer after only one week, what would I get by waiting a while longer?” Maybe never an offer as good. A true bargain, however, is usually snapped up within a day or two. After a week, you can assume that the market is operating normally. Experience has shown that the first offer is often the best one. This is because a new home on the market is exposed to a large group of potential buyers. Your best offer is likely to come from that group. Be cautious, then, about rejecting a first offer out of hand. Agents find little comfort in saying, “I told you so” if you are waiting vainly three months later to equal that first proposal. Excellent, non-conditional offers come from serious buyers.

Sport _ Rappahannock News photos/Lou Hatter PHILLIP STAPLES (playing #4 for Rappahannock) attempts a short shot on goal after Garrick Steele (#3, Middleburg)overshoots the ball. Mr. Staples scored on the play in the fifth chukker. THE MIDDLEBURG POLO CLUB (left) emerged victorious, 5-3. (I. to r.) Roger Steele, Earl Betts, Garrick Steele, Vincent Rizzo, Lauren Van Wambeck, Bill Fannon, Juan Salinas, Daniel Fernandez, Phillip Staples, Pat Bankhead (President, Hospice of the Rapidan). Rappahannock rallies but loses 5-3 By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer In a benefit match played on a sweltering Rappahannock Sunday, the Rappahannock Polo Club rallied from a 4-0 deficit at half-time to pull within one goal at the end of the fifth chukker. The home team, led by C. W. (Bill) Fannon, Jr., was unable to tie the game and the visitors from the Middleburg Polo Club added an insurance tally in the sixth chukker to clinch the match, 5-3. The match was held in conjunction with a barbecue to benefit the Hospice of the Rapidan, a volunteer organization dedicated to assisting terminally ill patients and their families. About 200 people turned out for the $25 per person fundraiser. The Middleburg Polo Club jumped out to a commanding lead early in the match. Earl Betts, a zero-goaler playing No. 1 for the visitors, scored two quick points in the first chukker. The second chukker was scoreless as Rappahannock sprang to the defense and neither team was able to set up a goal-scoring situation. Garrick Steele (one goal), playing No. 3, contributed a third goal to the Middleburg effort during the third chukker. Teammate Vincent Rizzo, a two-goaler playing No. 4, also scored one point for the visitors before the half-time break. Juan Salinas (minus one-goal), a last-minute write-in at No. 2 for the Rappahannock squad, scored one goal in the fourth chukker and another in the fifth. Mr. Salinas joined the team when German Noguera was unable to make the match. Teammate Phillip Staples, a threegoaler playing No. 4 for Rappahannock, brought the home team to within one goal of a tie with a point late in the fifth chukker. All the comeback efforts of the Rappahannock squad went for naught, however, when Roger Steele (three goal), playing No. 3 position for Middleburg, added a fifth point for the visitors early in the Parks and Rec sets 5K race The Fauquier County Parks and Recreation Department will host a women’s 5K race August 23.

The Middleburg team concentrated on defense and was able to frustrate the Rappahannock club’s efforts at pulling out a win in the final period. “It was an excellent, fast-flowing game,” said Bill Fannon, who hosted the match at his Laurel Hill Farm at Castleton. “Middleburg has a wellbalanced team.” Asked if he felt the heat (90 degrees-plus with humidity hovering in the 80 to 90 percent range), Mr. Fannon replied, “We’re used to playing in the hot weather . . .it’s hard on the horses and the players, but everyone is playing with the same handicap as far as the weather is concerned. ” Mr. Fannon added that he and his wife, Mary Frances, were pleased with the turnout and happy to host the match for the Hospice, “a worthy cause for a fine organization.

Rappahannock J ournal ***** • Farm • Business • Garden • Rural life Farmers to caucus Farmers from six area counties will have an opportunity to let their voices be heard and to select delegates to attend the United Farmer & Rancher Congress sponsored by Farm Aid. A caucus has been scheduled for Saturday, August 9, beginning at 10 a.m. in the Community Room of the Second National Bank at Main and Davis Streets in Culpeper. One of 500 being held nationwide, the caucus will drawparticipants from Madison, Greene, Rappahannock, Orange, Fauquier and Culpeper counties. Caucus organizers are encouraging farmers and rural residents from the six-county area to be a part of this historic effort. Approximately 1,500 delegates will gather in St. Louis September 11-13 to formulate solutions to the growing farm crisis. Although each caucus is allowed to select one of its delegates from among non-farmers who participate, all of the remaining delegates chosen will be farmers. A delegate will be elected for each 10 persons who at tend the caucus. An important feature of the delegate selection process is that half of all the delegates selected will be women. The stated objective of the congress is to build unity for effective solutions to the farm crisis. A great deal of effort is being made to encourage farmers and other rural people from varying points of view and from a variety of farm and rural organizations to be a part of the process. Local contacts for the Culpeper caucus include David Ingram. Culpeper Co., Jim Henshaw, Greene Co.. Earl Frazier, Fauquier Co., Albert Yowell, Madison Co., and Ron and Susie Burleson, Orange Co. Other caucuses are being scheduled throughout the region to drawfarmers from Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and Delaware. Rural Virginia, Inc., a non-profit organization based in Richmond, has contracted with Farm Aid to develop these caucuses. For more information contact Rick Cagan at 804-782-9438.

According to ASCS officials farmers may volunteer highly erodible cropland for entry into the Conservation Resene Program, under the provision of the Food Security Act of 1985. Producers wishing to put land into the program are eligible for cost-share payments of up to 50 percent of the eligible costs to establish a cover crop. The annual rental payments are for 10 years, beginning October 1, 1987. The total amount of rental payments for any fiscal year may not exceed $50,000, or its equivalent if inkind payments are made. Producers will be allowed to harvest their 1986 crop before the contract becomes effective, if necessary. Land that is designed for a 1987 contract may not be grazed after October 1, 1986. Interested farmers should submit their bid for the per-acre rental rate they are willing to accept. Bids must be placed with their local ASCS office between August 5 and August 15.

One has the feeling that to delay the renovation will somehow lengthen the year’s harvest another day or another week. The best time to get your berries ready for good yield next year, however, is to start as soon as this year’s harvest is complete. If your strawberry planting has made vigorous growth and is free of weeds, it is a relatively simple task to rejuvenate it. Remove the mulch and clip the tops of the plants to about one inch above the crowns with a scythe or mower. Be careful not to cut into the crown (the heavy growth point) at ground level. If the crown is damaged, the plant may not recover. If insects and foliage diseases are prevalent, dispose of the leaves and mulch material. Apply a quickly soluble nitrogen fertilizer such as nitrate of soda at the rate of 1/2 to 3/4 pounds per 100 feet of row to encourage vigorous top growth. If nitrate of soda is not readily available, you can substitute three pounds of 5-10-5 or 1.5 pounds of 10-10-10 fertilizer per 100 square feet broadcast over the entire planting. Rototill or dig between the rows to incorporate the fertilizer and mulch into the top few inches of soil. If the matted row is quite thick, the plants may require thinning. After new foliage appears, thin the plants to six to eight inches apart, leaving the strongest, most vigorous plants. Keep the planting cultivated throughout the summer and irrigate when necessary during dry periods to keep plants growing steadily. Fertilize again in the fall and renew mulch after freezing weather begins. Early next spring, it would be a good idea to start a new strawberry patch so that you can turn the one you renovated this year into a fall garden or plant a cover crop in its place. Two really good harvests are about all you can expect from one patch so it’s nice to have another one ready. Some people report maintaining the same patch for many years. Either they have been incredibly fortunate with insects and disease and have the most unbelievable soil in the area, or they have become accustomed to poor quality and low yield, and forgotten that things can be much better. Don’t try to scavenge plants from last year’s beds to start a new patch. Old plants will likely infest the bed with red stele or other diseases and insects. Instead, order disease-free plants and experiment with new varieties. If your strawberry harvest comes from a strawberry jar, crock, raised pyramid or other container, it is equally important to renovate it and insure vigorous growth for next years. Try the “hill” system of cultivation for such containers. Select the most vigorous plants and remove all others that developed oyer the last year. Keep all runners removed so that all of the plant’s energy goes into development of the primary plant. Use hand shears to remove last year’s foliage one inch above the soil level to eliminate insect and diseases that they may harbor. Christmas tree growers meet The heat of summer may be with us, but there is one group in the state associated with the Christmas season that has the cold weather in mind. The Virginia Christmas Tree Growers Association will be sharing information on ways to make the state’s production even better at their annual meeting July 31, August 1-2, in Charlottesville. Christmas trees are a year round effort for growers, but the market comes but once during the year. Interest has been expanding and this past year in the Old Dominion it was listed as a $20 million industry. The membership in the association has increased from 350 to 450 in the past eight years. The three-day meeting at the University Hilton will deal with, among other things, tree seedling selection, planting control, insects and other major problems and how to avoid mistakes in production. Louis Nichols of Hamilton, Association president, will call the meeting to order at 12:45 p.m. on July 31. You or the weevils get the chestnuts By MASON HUTCHESON Virginia Extension Service Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The Chinese chestnuts recently had a heavy bloom. “Every year I say I’m going to start early to control the worms that get in the chestnuts near harvest time” is an often heard comment. “It looks like the garden will fail due to dry weather, but maybe we can have some chestnuts. How can I keep those white worms from getting in them?” has been asked a few times during the past week. Chestnut weevils are 3/16-inch long snout beetles that destroy the eating quality of chestnuts. Females lay their eggs when nut “burrs” are about fully grown. They use their long snouts to make holes for the egss in the small nuts that are forming. Egg laying occurs from August through September. The grub or larval (white worm) stage feeds in the nut for six to eight weeks. Mature grubs left the nuts during harvest time last year and have entered the soil to pupate at a depth of 3 to 6 inches. About 80 percent of the grubs pupate during the late summer, emerge from the soil as adult weevils in August and begin egg laying into the forming nuts inside the burrs. The remaining 20 percent do not emerge until the following August. Control measures must be aimed at the adult weevils before their eggs are laid. They need to be stopped by the insecticide as the hole is being made into the burr for egg laying. The insecticide will not be effective after the egg has been deposited in the nut surrounded by the prickly shell of the burr. Carbaryl (Sevin) 80 percents is registered for chestnut weevil control at the rate of three tablespoons per gallon of water. Four applications at weekly intervals beginning about 45 days before the first nuts fall (around August 1 in Northern Virginia) and end spraying at shuck split. Another practice to help reduce infestation is consistent clean up under the tree of infested nuts during the harvest time. The strong pungent odor of blooming Chinese chestnut blossoms is over for 1986. Unless interrupted, the chestnut weevils will be on schedule for their next move to beat the grower to the goodies.

Mr. McCarthy confirmed that no portion of the one acre lot lies in flood plain, although he noted that the lower portion of the property is subject to water back-up, due to run-off from the Aileen plant’s parking lot. In the absence of the applicants, the BZA tabled a variance request from Kinsey and Deborah Wharton until next month’s meeting. The board also scheduled a site visit, prompted by a letter from a neighboring landowner opposing the Whartons’ request. The Whartons are seeking approval to build a carport attached to their residence which is situated on a lot slightly under two acres. Mr. Monahan noted that the Planning Commission had recommended approval of the variance on the grounds that the shape of the Whartons’ lot constituted a hardship. “We’ve used a pretty strict definition of hardship in past cases,” he said. “I feel like we’ll have to talk to these people.” “In order for us to give them a full and fair hearing, they need to be present,” agreed chairman Lee Bird, tabling the application until August 27 and setting a site visit for 8:30 prior to the BZA’s 10 a.m. meeting on that date. Bomber ger Continued from page 1 in the middle. It’s the very poor who need the schools to help pull them up. . .and that’s not happening,” he said. “I can understand the farmers who don’t want their land overtaxed, but if land is the only source of revenue for tne county, then we must work to change the formula that says this county is really rich,” Mr. Bomberger asserted. “And that hasn’t happened either,” he added, noting that county officials have not worked to change the state’s educational funding formula. (The formula which determines a county’s relative wealth and ability to pay for education gives primary weight to land values and lesser weight to personal income and sales tax revenue.) Mr. Bomberger recalled his first years at the high school as “really rough," remembering in particular a rowdy eighth grade math class. “I was fresh out of college. I didn’t know how to discipline kids. I’m positive I improved greatly over the years,” he said, pointing out that improvement comes with experience for most teachers. And experienced teachers are the ones that Rappahannock all too often loses because salaries here are not competitive, Mr. Bomberger added. While the picture with salaries remains bleak, the veteran teacher sees other hopeful signs in the county’s educational system. Students are staying in school longer than they did 13 years ago. Second graders have improved dramatically in reading skills. Computers have been introduced and their use expanded at both the elementary school and the high school. Attitudes towards the arts have improved. “And there are plans for improvements in the physical plant at the high school. That’s a step in the right direction,” Mr. Bomberger said. “I’m hopeful that it will not get derailed. It’s definitely something that’s really needed.” The departing teacher acknowledged the support he received over the years from the administrators at the high school. “I really appreciate what they did to try to keep me in the classroom,” he said. “But I felt I was not supported by the central office administration in work to improve salaries,” the former RCEA officer added. In his 13 years in the public schools, Mr. Bomberger clashed— very politely—with the School Board on occasion. However, he sees the members now on that board as the best yet for Rappahannock. “I see a big improvement in the School Board itself, but it’s going to take more than just the School Board to upgrade the salary scale so that Rappahannock schools won’t become a training ground for new teachers. It’s going to take the supervisors, and it will take a push from a community that knows the facts,” he concluded. PLEASE keep nr DOWN.

Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter 1980 PLYMOUTH ARROW driven by Clarence Richard Dodson, Jr. Excessive speed and alcohol are suspected as contributing to the crash, said Trooper H. A. Newlin. Dodson killed in wreck An accident early Saturday morning on Rt. 617 in Castleton killed Clarence Richard Dodson, Jr., 19, of Rt. 2, Box 552, Amissville. According to Trooper H. A. Newlin, Mr. Dodson was the driver of a 1980 Plymouth Arrow which was headed south just past the intersection of Rt. 618 and Rt. 617 at approximately 2:30 a.m. Mr. Dodson apparently lost control of the car, which ran off the left side of the road and through a fence on the property of Mrs. A. C. Hinsley. Trooper Newlin said the car continued into the field, flipped over and came to rest on its wheels. Mr. Dodson suffered severe head injuries. He was transported to Fauquier Hospital where he was pronounced dead. A passenger in the car, James Taylor Baumgardner, 24, of the same address, suffered minor injuries. Trooper Newlin added that “at the present time alcohol and excessive speed are suspected as factors which contributed to the crash.” Neither occupant was wearing safety restraints. Units from the Castleton and Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Departments and the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department responded to the accident scene. Busy summer for CCLC The Child Care and Learning Center continues its busy summer schedule. Last week 12 budding young artists gathered around a table in the Learning Center’s community room and tried their hands at drawing and painting. Laurie Marshall kept them challenged with such projects as drawing upside down and painting scenes they could see around the Center. Two groups of swimmers are taking lessons at the Leggett’s pool in Harris Hollow. Vinnie DeLuise will be providing instruction for the beginning swimmers for two weeks. Starting Monday, August 11, there will be a week-long handcraft workshop for boys and girls,.ages 610, mornings from 9:30 to 12:30. Jeanne Drevas will be doing clay projects with the children, including a topographical map of Rappahannock County. There will be block printing, beginning knitting and weaving, mask making and jewelry projects. The emphasis will be on learning crafts and producing a number of small decorative items from such materials as shells, yarn, clay, paper and fabric. Registration is limited to 12. The cost for the five mornings, including materials, is $25. Call the Learning Center at 675-3237 for information and to register by August 7. Letter Continued from page 1 vehicle have also increased from one in 1983. . .to three during the first six months of 1986. It should be noted that each of these accidents involved a different contributing factor. . .the only correlation. . .was that in two of these seven accidents, the brakes failed on the truck and the vehicle ran off the roadway.” The letter also cites statistics indicating that “there has also been an increase in total traffic using this facility from 2,503 (average per day) in 1983. . .to 2,953 in 1986.” Commissioner Pethtel added that he agreed with Mr. Guest’s suggestion for a pamphlet and signs advising trucks of the safest routes between Warrenton and 1-66, saying that “we will implement these proposals as our schedule permits.” He also said that he would “send a copy of your letter to Col. R. L. Suthard, Superintendent of the Department of State Police, and request that he consider increasing police surveillance. . .(and) the use of portable scales on Rt. 522, but, in all honesty, this action probably will not deter trucks operating at legal weights.” The commissioner concluded by saying that “I regret the unfortunate circumstances prompting your letter, and I trust you will share with your constituents the concerns and desires of the Department to enhance and maintain the safety of all motorists.” Turnove r Continued from page 1 will split Don Bomberger’s advanced mathematics classes, and two replacements will take over the lower level math courses. An RCHS special education teacher, who was an art major as an undergraduate, will be asked to assume Mr. Bomberger’s art courses. “We’ve checked, and she can handle it with her special education schedule,” Mr. Estabrook said. “We’re not looking to phase out art at all,” he emphasized. Vacancies remain in kindergarten, third grade, seventh grade math and music at both schools and lower level math at the high school. “I expect to talk to another 40 applicants—at least—before we hire people for those positions,” Mr. Estabrook said, adding that he expected all jobs to be filled before school begins. Del. Guest added during an interview last weekend that he had unsuccessfully lobbied his colleagues in the General Assembly for support of a legislative ban on truck traffic on Rt. 522.

Mr. Guest added that all questions on transportation funding will be unresolved until the governor’s commission issues its report on Monday (July 28). He said that the panel will “probably recommend a one percent increase in the sales tax, with the revenue to be used for transportation programs.” In addition, he predicted, the panel will recommend a one to three-cent gasoline tax, a one percent increase in the titling tax, and a revenue bond issue for toll roads. “The proposals could provide as much as one billion dollars in the first full year—a $500 million increase over present funding,” he stated. But, the veteran legislator cautioned, nothing will be final until the commission issues its report. The recommendations of the governor’s panel, released Monday in Richmond, were close to Mr. Guest’s predictions: • An increase in the sales tax from 4 to 4.75 percent, which would provide $301.5 million the first year and $3.5 billion over 10 years. • An increase by four cents per gallon in the gasoline tax, which would raise $128.8 million in FY 1988 and $1.28 billion in. 10 years. • A doubling of the titling tax on motor vehicles to four percent of the cost, less trade-in value. Revenues of $119.1 million the first year and $1.33 billion over 10 years will be realized. • Interest on current and future highway fund balances to be reserved for a new construction fund. Estimated revenues will be $22.1 million in FY 1988 and $1.96 billion over 10 years. • A bond issue for transportation projects. Revenue bonds issued for toll roads will be repaid from toll receipts, and pledge bonds which will be repaid from gasoline tax revenues. • Creation of a Virginia Transportation Board with broad authority over highways, airports and maritime facilities in the Commonwealth. • Fifteen percent of all new revenue to be designated for mass transit, airports and ports. • Increased powers to cities and counties to levy taxes for local construction projects. An option suggested by the commission is a flat one percent increase in the sales tax to five percent, with the additional one-quarter percent ($100.5 million per year) earmarked for nontransportation expenditures. Governor Baliles immediately accepted the panel’s recommendations and said that he wrill present it to the General Assembly’s special session on transportation, which will convene in Richmond September 15. Due to the support of the governor and many influential members of the Assembly, the panel’s major findings are expected to win quick approval. Del. Guest said he feels Virginia has been smart in that “maintenance funding comes off the top (of the transportation appropriation).” The decision in 1977 to “protect what we’ve got,” was a good one, he said. Although other states have used general revenue bonds to fund road construction and maintenance, the 31st District representative called that “economic foolishness. It’s ridiculous to issue bonds to build roads which will be worn out before the bonds are paid off.” Senior discount cards Volunteers from the Retired Senior Volunteer Department (RSVP) will be offering residents of this Planning District who are over 60 years old the opportunity to obtain permanent identification cards which can be used at more than 100 local merchants and services to receive discount benefits.

F atalities Continued from page 1 Hospital, where he was treated for a fractured wrist and released. Mr. Sevak and a passenger in the car, Sulaksh R. Gautan, 40, died at the scene. Two other passengers in the car, Lilupi Sevak, 38, and Zarine S. Gautan, 35, were airlifted by the Pegasus medical helicopter to the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville. Mrs. Sevak was listed in stable but guarded condition on Tuesday evening, according to hospital administrator David Huagh. Mrs. Gautan is in critical condition in the intensive care unit, Mr. Huagh said. The driver of the truck, Mr. Wimer, was not injured in the accident. According to Trooper Baines, no charges have been filed in connection with the accident, “but the in vestigation is continuing. ” Fire and rescue units from Washington, Sperryville, Amissville, Flint Hill, Chester Gap and Castleton as well as a passing unit from F and F Ambulance Service in Winchester responded to the scene. State Police troopers and Rappahannock Sheriffs Department deputies provided traffic control. Fire and rescue units from Company 6 in Fauquier County were called into the Amissville area to provide back-up coverage for Rappahannock, since all the county’s companies were on call at the accident scene. Quick action by members of a Highway Department road crew prevented the leaking diesel fuel from seeping into the drainage culvert. The crew blocked the flow of fuel with hay bales, creating a makeshift dam to contain the spill until the truck could be moved. Useful guide for babysitters By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock News Special Writer Just in time for teenagers and others seeking summer work, Barbara Benton has published the Babysitters Handbook, a complete (204page) guide covering every angle, every possibility, every little detail of child care and small business practice. Ms. Benton tells young sitters how to start their own babysitting business, how to set charges, get clients, interview parents and win the confidence of children. She even has sample classified ads to follow and advice on how to handle common babysitting problems such as parents who break appointments, come home late or expect the services of a * maid along with those of a babysitter. I like her solution to the problem of chronically late parents: “If, except for their lateness, you really like the people and want to continue to babysit for them, try this extremely effective approach to the problem. When it is past time for their return, and you can see that, once again, the parents will be late, telephone home and ask one of your own parents (preferably your father because he will have more shock value) to come over. When he arrives, leave; let him be the one to greet the returning parents. He won’t need to do much more on your behalf than to point out the time. They will be so surprised to see your father (or mother) that they probably will never be late again.” There’s a chapter on the household, which acknowledges the fact that a babysitter is also housesitting and must be able to deal with household problems as well as the children’s problems. There’s a guide to minor repairs and dealing with emergencies such as broken pipes. Ms. Benson advises her readers to quietly childproof each room of a house as soon as she and the child enter it. She has good remedies for minor mishaps such as spills and stains. The longest chapter is on child development, and the young reader (even an old one!) could learn a great deal here about what an infant, toddler or older child needs to feel secure and happy in the absence of his parents. Ms. Benson has no patience for parents who expect a babysitter to stay with a very sick child or miserable, colicky infant. “It’s really their job to see their baby through this bad time,” she says. The Babysitter’s Handbook is available at the Rappahannock Library. WASHINGTON, VA. area: Panoramic Mt. and valley views from the chalet and high meadow, Rush River.
