Council enacts 2 ¥2% meals, room tax . 11 ' . , . i *jy. J By LOU HATTER ,,,5 * Ranafcaanecfc N«w» Staff Writer '—«? By a unanimous vote, the Washington Town Council last Wednesday passed a 2 1/2 percent restaurant and transient lodging tax, providing the town with a long-sought source of revenue for a major overhaul of the town’s aging water system. Although a question had been raised about the legality of the town taxing transient room rentals, Councilman William Wickens suggested that because of the severability clause written into the ordinance, it be passed “as is.” The rest of council agreed. (Severability clauses, 'Which are written into most ordinances, provide that if any part or parts of the ordinance are judged to be invalid, that finding shall not affect the validity of the remainder of the ordinance.) “I still think it is a mistake to do it this way,” Mr. Wickens said, continuing to lobby for his original proposal, which contained a four percent restaurant tax and no levy on lodging. “But,” he continued, “I move we adopt the ordinance, effective April 1.” All seven members of council voted in favor of the ordinance. Another proposal to produce additional funds to refurbish the water system wnich is under consideration by council is a hike in the water rates. “The rate system as is is sufficient to maintain the system,” Treasurer Brad Fisher conceded, “but not to improve it.” “The useful life of the system is 10 years over,” Mayor Dean Morehouse agreed. “Further s. repairs are throwing money down a rathole.” posed ofwhich inicreaseihe'' ' base rate-for 3,000 gallons use (per month) from the present $6 to $10. The first proposed schedule calls for charges of 15 cents per 100 gallons for 3,000 to 10,000 gallons per month; 35 cents per 100 gallons for 10.000 to 20,000 gallons; and 55 cents per 100 gallons for usage over 20,000 gpm. The average water bill with that schedule Mr. Fisher projected at $13.52; the yearly income he estimated at $24,370. The second schedule which Mr. Fisher presented for consideration would generate an estimated $27,500 per year, resulting in an average monthly bill of $15.86. Tlie base rate increases to $10, while usage of 3,000 to 10,000 gallons is charged at 25 cents per 100 gallons. From 10,000 to 15,000 gpm, the fee is 30 cents per 100 gallons, usage over 15,000 gpm is charged at 50 cents per 100 gallons. The water authority’s present rate schedule, which generates about $12,000 per year, has a base rate of $6 for the first 3,000 gallons. From 3.000 to 10,000 gallons, the rate is 20 cents per 100 gallons; usage of more than 10,000 gallons is charged at a rate of 30 Cents per 100 gallons. The monthly bills presently average just over $8, according to Mr. Fisher. He added that almost half of the town’s 120 taps never exceed the base usage, and that therefore revenue cannot be increased unless rates are raised. “It’s the most regressive way to raise money,” Mr. Widens replied, “to raise the rates of peojTt who use much water... families ’ on fixetHncoJiieCw9&# to conserve . W rit’s' unconscionable. “Why people who come to a restaurant shouldn’t pay a four percent restaurant tax,” Mr. Wickens continued, “I don’t know. ” He added that once the water system is fixed, the present rate structure will maintain it. “It must be fixed, but this is not the way to do it.” Mayor Morehouse replied that his opinion is that rates need to be raised. “When the problem is resolved,” he proposed, “then we can reduce rates - if the system will sustain at the lower rates. “People don’t understand the magnitude of the problem,” he added, “the only way to get this moving is to raise the rates.” “I don’t want to sound like a prairie populist,” Mr. Wickens said, continuing his argument against a rate increase, “but people shouldn’t have to choose between flushing the toilet and eating lunch ... From $4.45 (the base rate before 1985’s increase) to $10 in two years - that is, I think, too much.” Mayor Morehouse defended the increase, explaining that with only $2,000 in the bank, “if we let this go, by the end of the year we will be bankrupt.” Mr. Wickens replied, “We’ve just enacted taxes which will bring $50,000 to the town.” “How long,” Mayor Morehouse insisted, (Continued on Page 16) Rappahannock Round-up Inside Panther baseball preview. p. 10 Government at a glance • Architectural Review Board: Thursday, March 19, 8 p.m., Courthouse; Regular monthly meeting. i • RALLY: Thursday, March 19, 7 p.m., County Library; Organizational meeting for county clean-up day (Saturday, March 28). • School Board: Friday, March 20, 7:30 p.m., School Board office; Meeting with architects to discuss RCHS expansion project. • School Board: Tuesday, March 24, 7:30 p.m., School Board office; Budget meeting.

Opposition by neighbors grows to Stover landfill proposal By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The not-in-my-backyard (NIMBY) syndrome that meets every landfill proposal is showing up again, this time in the Amissville area. Property owners there have collected 100 signatures opposing a solid waste disposal facility now under consideration for the Stover tract on Route 639. The county has applied for a state permit for a landfill on both the 100-acre Stover tract and a 400-acre' farm off Route 211 between Massie’s Comer and Ben Venue. A public hearing on the two applications is set for Monday, April 6. The petitioners maintain that a landfill in “the furthermost northeast comer of Rappahannock County” will require expensive hauling and continued reliance on dumpsters as trash depositories. “The operation of hauling numerous truckloads per week of GARBAGE, ANIMAL CARCASSES, REFUSE, TRASH and other unsavory matter from ALL OTHER SECTIONS of the county would add to the overload the entire county is experiencing from existing large-sized truck traffic congestion on all major and minor roads and add to the con gested, excessive large truck traffic all along Route 211,” the petitioners say. In addition, they charge that hauling trash from the dumpsters “could expose all residents to this unhealthful situation of spreading germ-laden disease-provoking microbes throughout the county.” The petitioners also state that a landfill in the Amissville area, particularly at the Stover tract, will: • Create noxious odors and infestations of rodents, birds and other animal pests. • Contaminate groundwater. • Require the construction of a “strong-foundationed super two-lane roadway” for access. • Downgrade property values and intensify all health and traffic hazards. In an personal reaction to the proposed dump, Robert Duxbury, absentee owner of land adjoining the Stover tract, is threatening to sue the county and its officials, “individually as well as collectively,” for any illnesses which may result from locating a landfill there. In a letter dated March 5, Mr. Duxbury, who now lives in California, notes that he had planned to build a home on his land in the county. But if the landfill is put next door, that decision may change and he may opt to sell instead. However, he maintains that the proximity to the landfill could make his property “un-sellable” or at least drop its value “from top dollar per acre to below bottom dollar . . . Therefore, I will expect the County of Rappahannock to make good the loss of value to my property, as well as the financial expenditures I have to incur. My attorney will take care of the legal aspects of this,” he warns in his letter. Like the 100 petitioners, Mr. Duxbury charges that a landfill on the Stover tract will contaminate streams and groundwater, breed undesirable animals and generate air pollution and offensive odors. In addition, he says that machinery and trucks will make “a remarkable amount of noise, that is continual,” and “enough to drive a person ‘nuts’.” Mr. Duxbury insists that the Stover tract is too far to the east, “not central and therefore not utilizing money and time to its best capabilities, especially with the rising costs and the future always so bleak when it comes to fuel consumption and its cost.” Budget means 28% jump in local dollars By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Grim faces met the grim news at Tuesday night’s work session: the 1987-88 school budget as presented two weeks ago by Superintendent Robert Estabrook will take a 28 percent increase in local money. Subtracting anticipated federal and state receipts from the $3,432,210 in school expenditures contemplated by the superintendent leaves $436,267. “What’s left becomes the county’s share,” Mr. Estabrook said. With one cent on the local tax rate generating approximately $22,000 in revenue this year, funding that difference would jump the rate by 20 cents. “We’ve got our work cut out for us,” said Chairman Beverly Massie. “I don’t see how the county is going to pick up $436,267!” “Realistically, it’s going to be a hard one to swallow,” agreed Nancy Reeve. The squeeze on local dollars comes from two mqjor factors, according to the superintendent. Rappahannock’s schools saw a drop in enrollment this year, with 39 fewer students than anticipated. The state expects that trend to continue next year. “They’re pegging our enrollment at 881, an additional loss of 41,” Mr. Estabrook reported. The decline will bring a concurrent decrease in “enrollment driven” state aid, he noted. Accordingly, based on information received from Richmond last week, Rappahannock can expect $1,101,187 from the state, an increase of only two percent over this year’s level of support. The other squeeze factor is a sharp reduction in federal assistance, coming primarily in Vocation nal and special education, the superintendent said. The two percent from the state is not enough to offset the lessened federal support, which leaves the county to absorb the biggest chunk of the proposed 13 percent overall increase in school spending, Mr. Estabrook explained. “I certainly wish I could paint you a rosier income picture, but I can’t.” For the next five hours, going line by line over the proposed bud get, the School Board trimmed around $96,000 - or about 4 1/2 cents of the called-for 20 cent leap in local taxes. ' Major reductions included: • $10,716 for sabbatical leave for teachers seeking to Anther their education. • $34,100 in tuition paid at a private institution for a special education student expected to return to Rappahannock’s school system next year. • $3,000 from psychological services to come from increased counseling time. • $3,000 from insurance for school vehicles. • $5,000 from the allotment for gas and oil and other transportation costs. • $5,000 from subsidies to the school lunch program. • $1,500 from telephone service. • $2,000 from buildings and grounds for improvements to the driveways around the elementary school. • $4,000 from heating fuel for the two schools. • $2,000 for building materials. • $15,000 from capital outlay for furniture and equipment for the high • $2,375 from capital outlay for attachments to the copying machine in the central office. The School Board members tied reductions in insurance, workers compensation, telephone service and transportation to the current level of expenditure in the same categories. They agreed to seek assistance from the highway department for the road work at RCES and projected that repairs to the heating systems at both schools will bring a reduction in fuel costs. *unanimous vote, they proposed pay raises for teachers which will range from 9.7 percent at the bottom of the scale to 16.65 percent for 25 years experience, incorporating last year’s bonuses into the index itself at pay steps 15-25 and providing a $300 “relocation allowance” to defray moving expenses for teachers new to the county. The revised pay scale shows an 11 percent increase over the instructional salary total for (Continued on Page 16) Miller only holdout to re-election bids By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rapfialiannock New* Staff Writer All the hats but one are in the ring for this November’s local elections. Supervisor J. Newbill Miller is the lone holdout among members of the Board of Supervisors and constitutional officers whose terms expire in December. “I don’t know. I’m undecided now,” said the Hampton District representative last week. Asked when he would make a decision on whether to seek another fouryear term, Mr. Miller repeated “I don’t know,” adding “I’m not on any time table.” The rest of Rappahannock’s elected officials have already made up their minds. “I’ve decided to run again,” replied Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke. “I hope I receive the same support I’ve eiyoyed these past four years as Commonwealth’s Attorney. I look forward to serving another four.” “This is tax season. It’s a bad time to be asking if I like the job,” joked Commissioner of Revenue Beverly Atkins. Ms. Atkins was appointed two years ago after her predecessor, Meryl Scroggins, resigned. She then won the post with 70 percent of the vote in a special election last November against two challengers. “We’ve been working hard and we plan to continue doing that,” Ms. Atkins said, in a more serious vein, adding that she enjoyed meeting and serving the people who come through her office. “I will be a candidate in November,” Ms. Atkins affirmed. The same theme was echoed by Frances Foster, who will mark a quarter century as Rappahannock’s treasurer this April. “I’ve enjoyed working here and serving the people and I would like to continue if they’ll support me again,” Mrs. Foster said, in announcing her candidacy. “Of course, I’m going to run!” confirmed Sheriff John Henry Woodward, who was the victor in a hotly contested four-man race for the job in 1983. “Why? Because I love it!” Sheriff Woodward pointed to the advances in local law enforcement during his term: • the jail reopened and operated “at no expense to the county.” • dispatch center established for the sheriff’s department, improving radio communications for fire and rescue as well as for police. • expanded coverage, with patrolling that formerly ended at midnight now continued through 4 a.m. • an excellent fleet which now includes only police vehicles. • the addition of a full-time investigator to the department’s personnel complement. “Law enforcement is my life’s work,” the sheriff concluded. “I plan on staying on as long as the people of Rappahannock County will have me.” Hubert Gilkey, Chairman of the county’s Board of Supervisors, confirmed that he intends to seek re-election to another term, representing Wakefield District. “I would like to see some of the things through which we have started, and I hope to continue to serve the people of my district and of the county in a beneficial way,” Mr. Gilkey said. With five years on the board, the second longest tenure of the (Continued on Page 16)

^ewsof Record CDI provides judges with a sentencing alternative Middle Virginia Community Diversion Incentive Program provides close supervision for individuals who have been convicted of nonviolent crimes and are required to perform community service in lieu of incarceration. Judges know that prison is not always the best place for offenders. On occasion, nonviolent persons have learned violent behavior in prison or a local jail. They lose their jobs, stop paying taxes, and stop supporting their families while in jail or prison. Most significant is the fact that it costs taxpayers about $15,000 per year to keep one prisoner in a state penitentiary - prisons that are already desperately overcrowded and cost millions to build. (Source: Department of Corrections.) Since January of this year, area judges have had another alternative to sentencing. Middle Virginia CDI provides intensive supervision of nonviolent offenders, with the added benefits of service to the community, payment of all court costs and restitution, and training and treatment programs - all without prisons. Clients of CDI - both misdemeanants and felons - are required to perform the number of community service hours ordered by a judge and pay all obligations. They must find and keep a job, refrain from drug or serious alcohol use, and obey other regulations. CDI case managers monitor clients closely through regular home and office visits, and refer clients to area agencies for job training, educational and vocational alternatives, and a variety of counseling services. A number of area non-profit organizations benefit from the community service work of CDI clients. Local recreation centers, hospitals, nursing homes, animal shelters, police departments, social service agencies, and even a handicapped private citizen all have benefited from more than 1,300 hours of work by the Middle Virginia CDI clients since January. Offenders may be eligible for CDI if they commit crimes such as forgery, breaking and entering, unlawful use of an auto or credit card, larceny, drug possession, embezzlement, shoplifting, or other nonviolent offenses. A client is referred to CDI by a judge, who has the final word on admission to the program. Felons also must be approved by the Community Corrections Resource Board, made up of two representatives from each participating locality and one from the Virginia Department of Corrections. All CDI Programs operate under contract with the Department of Corrections. If a client does not live up to his obligations while in the CDI Program, the referring court may impose the suspended sentence. Under a state law adopted in 1980, Virginia localities have the option of initiating a CDI Program. Twenty-eight programs are operating today across the Commonwealth. Since it opened its doors in January 1986, Middle Virginia CDI - serving the counties of Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock - has diverted more than 60 offenders from serving in excess of 46 years of costly prison and jail time. The staff and board have reached a success rate of more than 90 percent of all closed cases. CDI also makes sense dollarwise. Statewide, the cost to CDI for the average state felon is less than $7,000 — less than half the cost of penitentiary time. The average misdemeanant costs only $200, while the cost to a local jail to hold a prisoner for the same period is more than $3,000. (Source: Virginia Department of Corrections.)

Red Cross begins ’87 fund drive Hie Fauquier Chapter of the American Red Cross this week launched its annual drive to raise funds to continue its operations and to eliminate a $2,000 deficit. This year the chapter, which serves Fauquier and Rappahannock counties, is asking for $23,869, $2,000 more than last year. But that, explains H. T. A. Nevill, chapter president, is to make up for a shortfall in contributions last year. The area’s residents were very generous last year, Mr. Nevill says, but much of what they gave went to national headquarters for disaster relief. Apparently, people were unable to support both the national campaign and the local efforts. The Fauquier chapter has to forward to national headquarters nearly one-quarter of the funds it collects in its regular annual fund campaign. That leaves less than $18,000 to cover its normal operations with a paid staff of two and an office in Warrenton. Those operations also include disaster relief, service to military families and veterans, blood services, and training volunteers in life-saving techniques. Additional life-saving training equipment recently cost nearly $2,000. In a letter being mailed this week to about 1,300 people, the fund chairmen, Col. James A. White, Jeanne D. Parris and Frances M. Christiansen, report that “the demands on our resources continue to grow and we are in danger of not having the funds to meet them.” Anyone wishing to contribute may mail a check to Fauquier Chapter, American Red Cross, 63 Sputh Thud Street, Warrentqnj V221».

Lions have free tests Lions of Virginia, District 24-A, Sight and Hearing Mobile Screening Unit will visit Rappahannock County on Tuesday, March 24, Wednesday, March 25 and Thursday, March 26. The Rappahannock Lions Club is sponsoring this project as one of its community service activities. Screening will be done by Lions Club members. Adults are invited to come for the free testing on Tuesday, March 24 from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. at Wakefield School in Huntly and Wednesday, March 25 from 1:30 to 3 p.m. at the Rappahannock County High SchooL Glaucoma and diabetes tests will be available to adults in addition to the sight and hearing tests. Those adults desiring diabetes test must fast for at least six hours before the test. Ingest nothing by mouth except water. No adults will be tested on Thursday. Students will be scheduled through each school’s principal. Wakefield School students will be scheduled Tuesday, March 24 between 9 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Rappahannock County High School students will be scheduled on Wednesday, March 25 between 9 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. and Rappahannock County Elementary School students will be scheduled on Thursday, March 26 between 9 a.m. and ft n m A “Medical History Survey” form will be sent home from school for each student prior to the date of the testing in order that a parent or guardian may sign and return the form to the school before this sight and hearing screening is performed. It is important that the form be signed and returned to the school immediately. Students who wear glasses must have their glasses with them on the van for the vision test. The Sight and Hearing Mobile Screening Unit is one of the many projects supported by the Rappahannock Lions Club. The first commitment of Lions is to fulfill the needs of the local community. This project, involving several hundred Rappahannock County school students and adults, is one example of helping our community. These projects are possible, a Lions Club spokesman said, thanks to the generosity of those who support the Rappahannock Lions Club in their fund-raising activities.

Church Street 325 lautau Place ‘Artists and Friends’ from the world over By LOU HATTER Rappahannock Neva SUIT Writer Visitors to the Middle Street Artist’s Cooperative have become familiar with the names of many of Rappahannock’s large community of artists, but visitors to the Gallery’s current exhibition will become familiar with the work of artists from Chile to Moscow. “Gallery Artists and Friends,” showing through the end of March, features the work of not only more than 30 of the gallery’s member artists, but also a number of their friends. Some of the names will be familiar to long-time Rappahannock residents, such as Susan Marie Dopp (designer of Sursum Corda’s “Lift Up Your Hearts” sign) and Lauren Mundy, a sculptor who has used media as diverse as welded steel and saplings for her creations. Both have left Rappahannock, but examples of their work have returned for the show. Russian photographer Edik Gladkov was the official photographer for Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn before the famous writer fell from Soviet favor and was exiled to the Gulag. His series of photographs, on exhibit at Middle Street, were taken in Moscow and in his wife’s native village. All the printing was done in Moscow with materials donated by Western contacts. They depict a stark and materially poor existence, but the humanity of the ordinary people he photographed is the most striking feature of the photographs. They were not censored by Soviet authorities. Mr. Gladkov’s latest work was done for Ruth Daniloff, wife of journalist Nicholas Daniloff, who was detained by Moscow late last year and then traded for an accused Soviet spy captured in this country. Robin Purnell, a gallery artist and participant in this exhibit, met Mr. Gladkov while in Russia and provided the contact which resulted in his work being exhibited here. Her drawing of another Rapphannock artist, Sally Nash, a preliminary study of an oil painting in progress, is included in the exhibit. Other photographers included in the exhibit are Bob Burgess, a gallery artist who was White House photographer during the Carter presidency; Cynthia Mahan, a Rappahannock resident and gallery artist r whose credits include photos in The Washington Post, NOVAscope, Rural Living, Farm and Country and the Rappahannock News; and Jeanne Petry, a former Virginia resident and friend of Ms. Mahan who now lives in California. Several of Rappahannock's fiber artists are represented in the exhibit, including work by Janet Kerig, Jeanne Drevas, Nina Moore and Catherine Kiley. Joel Hoyer has several of his ritual fetish creations on exhibit, including those which will be used as part of a collaborative project in conjunction with a dance choreographed by Sally Nash, with music by Tom Espinola. Sculptures include works by Rappahannock artists Sam Cliffton and Rex Slack, as well as fine cabinetry by furniture maker Rick Fifield, a friend of gallery artist Lynette Nicholas, who also has one of her watercolors on exhibit. Laurie Marshall, Linda Hiemstra, Walter Day, Lorraine Duisit (also known for her outstanding music with Trapezoid), Dan Lewis, Eva Jonasson-Wine and Agustino (Lucho) Pozo are a few of the painters with works showing as part of this exhibit. Some names are familiar to the county, others have come from as far as Chile to participate in the show. Works included in the show are too diverse to be described, and there are many other gallery artists and their friends included in the show who have not been mentioned. The pieces on exhibit include many styles, representing the cultural influences of the diverse backgrounds of the artists. They range from the real to the abstract, in vivid color and stark black and white, and illustrate the range of art being created today. The show is a rare opportunity for residents of Rappahannock County to view a cross-section of the creations of not only the artists who live here, but also those who live in places as different as California, Maine, Moscow, Chile and the Middle East. It is an extraordinary exhibit. The Middle Street Gallery is open from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. “Gallery Artists and Friends” will be showing through the end of March. For more information, call the gallery at 6753440. Board takes no action After an hour and 15 minutes in a closed door meeting last Thursday afternoon on landfill matters, the Board of Supervisors returned to open session to vote 3-1, with Jackson District representative A1 Henry opposed, to authorize spending $300 for testing on the Stover site. The property - approximately 100 acres on Route 639 near Amissville - has been offered for sale and the county has made preliminary application to the state for its use as a sanitary landfill. While negotiations over a sales contract continue, a public hearing on the landfill application and a second preliminary proposal for a landfill on 400 acres owned by AWOW Partnership, of Nokesville, off Route 211 between Massie’s Corner and Ben Venue, has been set for April 8, WHICH EYES HAVE GLAUCOMA?

THURSDAY, MARCH 19,1987 Editorial A winning attitude Recently, news coverage has spread outrageous stories about Southern Methodist University’s football program, including payoffs to supposedly amateur college athletes. Earlier this season, local sports fans were treated to the spectacle of a Courtland basketball coach berating an official as he lay prone on the court. These are only the latest incidents in a series of college and high school sports scandals. This kind of conduct by supposedly principled individuals makes the attitude of the coaches at Rappahannock County High School particularly deserving of commendation. Frank Clemson, who coached the Panther junior varsity to the Bull Run district championship (unbeaten for the first time ever in district competition), said in an interview following the championship game, “I didn’t stress winning. I concentrated on the fundamentals, and playing hard and putting out. If you do those things, winning will come.” Gary Leake, whose varsity basketball team handed second-ranked Manassas Park its only loss in district play this year, then lost a hard-fought semi-final game in the Bull Run playoffs, expressed similar feelings. “They gave 110 percent. That’s all we asked for. I was very proud of the way they played... I’d rather get beaten that way.” This attitude blows like a fresh spring breeze through the “Win at all costs - it’s the only thing” attitude so prevalent in sports at all levels in our society. We are geared to loving winners, and finishing second, no matter how hard you try, doesn’t usually count for much. For professionals, who are highly paid for what they do, • that attitude is fine. But for student-athletes, especially at the high school level, the enjoyment of participation should be the important thing. Apparently, the coaches at RCHS agree. That doesn’t mean that winning isn’t important, and the records compiled by Panther teams prove that. Certainly, Rappahannock fans enjoy cheering a winning game as much as anyone else, and are just as disappointed when the Panthers lose. But, the youngsters who are participating in the sports program are being taught a more important lesson: that taking part, and always giving your best, is what makes a really outstanding person, whether on the playing field or elsewhere. Coaches Clemson and Leake, with the assistance of several other dedicated coaches, are preparing to lead the Panthers into the spring track and baseball season. We wish them and their teams continued success, and hope they will always teach their players those really important lessons. Rappahannock Heritage THE ROLLING HILLS outside Spenyville are just beginning to show the first signs of spring.

Box 59, Washington, Va. 22747, or delivered to the news office President Madison’s forgotten birthday By DAVID T. HARDY Happahannoek New. Contributinf Writer The name of our capital, a monument, and Mount Vernon all commemorate George Washington, the Father of His Country. Jefferson’s monument, and his home at Monticello, are memorials to his genius. To find the monument dedicated to James Madison, the Father of the Constitution, author of many Federalist Papers, and Drafter of our Bill of Rights, you'll have to find his cemetery in Orange, Virginia. In the District of Columbia, Madison (who hated traveling and died nearly bankrupt) has a hotel, a bank, and part of the Library of Congress to his name, but no memorial. We celebrate Labor Day (by not working), the birthday of Columbus (wno discovered a distant island for a foreign monarch) and sundry other holidays; we recognize Mother’s Day, Arbor Day, Flag Day and (by Congressional resolution) Colostomy Awareness Day. March 16, the birthday of James Madison, the “Father of the American Constitution,” passes unnoticed. In part, this is to be expected. It is hard to picture the diminutive Virginian as a towering bronze figure. Always a hesitant and nervous speaker, his carefully-chosen words lacked Jefferson’s clarion tones. Madison’s impact was measured in his deeds, not his speeches. And what an impact it was! David Hardy is an attorney with the law firm Beneson, Kates and Hardy. He is currently on leave to work in the federal goverment. At 23, Madison committed himself irretrievably to the revolutionary cause by becoming a member of the local Committee of Safety, he soon found himself commanding a regiment of militia. A month after his 26th birthday, he was elected to the Virginia Constitutional Convention. Religious liberty had always been a deep concern of Madison, and in the convention the future author of our First Amendment quietly persuaded the delegates to broaden Virginia’s guarantees of religious freedoms. The convention’s first draft had proposed that “all men should eryoy the fullest toleration in the exercise of religion;” Madison succeeded in changing this government “toleration” into a statement of individual right: “All men are equally entitled to the free exercise of religion.” To so influence the first American state Bill of Rights would be an accomplishment of which anyone might boast. For Madison, it was but a beginning. The following year the legislature appointed him to the Council of State. Soon thereafter his influence extended beyond VirginiaAt 29, he became the youngest man ever to sit in the Continental Congress. In 1786 he undertook extensive historical studies of various republics. Few ages have been as history-conscious as the late 18th Century, and Madison’s ability to discuss the failings and strengths of political units over the centuries was a powerful asset in later life. John Quincy Adams would later -speak of the “inexhaustible resources of his gigantic mind” — hardly an exaggeration, for between shaping the course of a nation and researching the fete of European confederations, Madison won a reputation as a biologist, a seat in the American Philosophical Society, and renown as a translator of Greek and Latin classics. Selected as one of the Virginia representatives to what became the Constitutional Convention, Madison demonstrated his skills at drafting and negotiation: no delegate had a greater impact on the final result than the diminutive Virginian, now all of 36 years of age. A few months later, he collaborated with Alexander Hamilton and John Jay to produce a newspaper series that became known as “The Federalist Papers.” Written under almost incredible time pressures (at one point Madison alone was writing four essays a week, and later recalled having barely enough time to give each a proofreading), the series still ranks, two centuries later, among the foremost American political works. Madison completed his 29 essays and immediately discarded the role of theorist for that of practical statesman. He had been elected to the Virginia ratifying convention, and spent his 37th birthday on the road. In the convention, the reticent speaker (the official reporter at points complains that his delivery was too faint to be taken down) took the lead for the Federalists, against such considerable foes as Patrick Henry, Richard Henry Lee and George Mason. Madison’s explana tions may have been hard to hear, but they carried the day against the impetuous orations of the famed Henry. Henry did not forget; a year later he blocked Madison’s nomination to the first Senate. The move merely added more laurels to the Virginian’s wreath. He ran for the House and won, largely upon his promises to add a bill of rights to the Constitution. The new Congressman speedily distilled the hundred-plus proposals for a bill of rights into a convenient package of amendments, introduced it, and forced a largely reluctant House to vote on it. Madison went on to serve two terms in the House, playing a vital role in the formation of the Democratic-Republican party that swept his friend Jefferson into power. He then served eight years as Secretary of State, and in 1809 was elected the fourth President of the United States. For most Americans, service as the Chief Executive would be the apogee of a lifetime; for Madison, it was almost an anticlimax. Two decades later, approaching 80, the still vigorous Madison was taking part in a second state Constitutional Convention, and writing rebuttals to the nullification movement! Perhaps our failure to recognize March 16 is characteristic of Madison’s own temperament; he accomplished much, but without flamboyance or spectacle. All the same, the Republic could do far worse than to recognize the day the Father of our Constitution entered the world.

BRYAN W.REBER BSA District Executive PACE Time To the editor: Although House Bill 1302, the Pharmaceutical Assistance Program for the Elderly, or PACE Program, failed to pass the 1987 session of the General Assembly, Delegate J. W. “Billy” O’Brien Jr. will strive to make the public aware of the increasing need for this program. In addition to medication, this program also offers a prescription drug education program which would inform elderly citizens of the hazards of prescription faugs, encourage the elderly to question physicians and pharmacists concerning the effects of taking prescription drugs. J. W. “BILLY” O’BRIEN JR. 83rd District, Virginia Beach State continues economic lull ' There was a “distinct lull” in business activity in the Commonwealth during January, according to the latest figures released by the Virginia Business Report, which is published by the Bureau of Business Research at the College of William and Mary. “Much of the lull was due to the snows and year-end tax maneuvering, but some of it also reflects the continuing deceleration of the state’s economic growth,” said Roy L. Pearson, director of the bureau and editor of its monthly business report. Three important economic indicators showed declines relative to January 1986 during the first month of 1987. Building permits were down 33.8 percent overall in 10 of the state’s 16 urban areas. The comparison of permits with the same month’s statistics for previous years eliminates the spurious fluctuation of figures which can plague the tracking of seasonal industries. The bureau noted, however, that the heavy snows which blanketed the state during the last part of the month undoubtedly affected permit applications during that period. New car registrations, after soaring more than 35 percent in December, plummeted 16.8 percent in January compared to last year. The rise in December, due largely to consumers making purchases to beat the Jan. 1 tax reform measures, were responsible in part for the size of the decrease in January. That December blip may continue to affect new car sides as figures for February become available, experts have forecast. Retail sales also experienced a decline, albeit a modest 0.9 percent compared to last year, in 10 of the 15 areas reporting. Taxable sales data for November and December 1986 showed a statewide gain of more than 10 percent, and more than half of the 17 urban reporting areas showed gains of nine percent or more. Harrisonburg led the field with an 18.8 percent gain over November 1985, with Lynchburg second (16.7 percent) and Northern Virginia third with a 13.5 percent gain. December taxable sales figures produced “surprising and partially misleading data,” Mr. Pearson said. The reported taxable sales for the month showed a 17.5 percent decline compared to December 1985. “The key word in that figure is reported,” Mr. Pearson stressed. The January snows which brought much of the Commonwealth to a standstill caused an unusually large number of businesses to be late in filing reports for December, he explained. Therefore, the figures for December are understated. “How much they are understated,” the bureau’s director continued, “we won’t know for some time.” When the currently available December figures are added to obtain a complete-year taxable sales figure, the increase compared to 1985 is only 5.4 percent. “Our best guess,” Mr. Pearson said, “is that the actual increase for the year is in the seven to eight percent range.” Payroll employment figures state-wide showed a 3.1 percent increase over December 1985, “a continuation of the pattern of decelerating job increases,” Mr. Pearson noted. Total nonagricultural employment gain during 1986 was 3.8 percent, down more than one full percentage point from 1985’s gain of 4.9 percent. Four of Virginia’s eight metropolitan statistical areas reported job growth figures below 1985; Northern Virginia, Hampton Roads, Richmond-Petersburg and Roanoke all had smaller increases than last year. Of the four experiencing gains, Bristol (4.4 percent) and Charlottesville (4 percent) led the field. Danville moved from a 1.8 percent decline in 1985 to a slight (0.2 percent) gain in 1986. Mr. Pearson theorized that one reason for the difference in decline and growth between the eight metro regions is the diversity of makeup of the job market in different areas of the Commonwealth, which results in different responses to changes in the state and national economic climate. The Business Report continues to forecast an overall slowdown in Virginia’s economy during 1987. Just how severe that slowdown actually is will become evident now that the seasonal slowdown following the holidays is over. Spring is traditionally a time when the economy heats UP

Salem VFD places rescue unit in service By MARIE F. ATKINS Rappahannock News Special Writer The latest emergency medical unit in Culpeper County has been put in service by the Salem Volunteer Fire Department. The unit is staffed by the company’s emergency service complement of 13, headed by Capt. Gary Lunceford and Sgt. Liz Shifflett. Operation of the unit was certified in late February. The first call was to “The Hill,” farm of Mr. Oliver Durant. Donations last fall in response to a department appeal paid for equipping the ambulance. Hie 1982 Ford chassis on which is mounted a Swab ambulance body, was donated by Fairfax County late last year. Until the fully equipped rescue unit went into service, the Salem department’s emergency personnel offered a First Responder service. On these first responder calls, personnel could render emergency medical service, but could not provide transportation to a hospital. Now company personnel can provide emergency transportation and establish a communication link with area hospitals in the Basic Life Support (BLS) ambulance. Last year the Salem company’s First Responder unit answered about 200 calls. The company’s firstdue area stretches west from a point east of Route 745 off Route 522, to the Rappahannock and Madison county lines. Salem Company 8 emergency medical personnel include Meg and Micky Crosby, Frank and Joyce Short, Dickie Atkins, Briant Atkins, Randy Shifflett, Carolyn Bailey, Strafford Settle, Kim Atkins and Junior Perrymand. Four other company members Kenny Mills, Erich Edens, Mike Bailey and Sara Crosby have completed training and await state certification before joining the emergency crew. Most of the emergency medical contingent also are trained firefighters. “We are grateful to the many people from both outside and inside our first-due response area who contributed money to enable us to equip the ambulance,” said Capt. Lunceford. “One thing,” he added, “we need additional volunteers interested in either the emergency medical or firefighter side or both.” Chief Dickie Atkins said, “We particularly need volunteer members who can respond to calls during daylight hours. This would provide a community-service opportunity for those who are retired; or who work in the evenings. ” he said. “All necessary training is provided at no cost to the individual volunteer,” said Chief Atkins and “it is paid for by the Salem Volunteer Fire Department.” Chief Atkins stressed the fact that anyone living within a five mile radius (which includes 522 west on through Boston, on to Route 604) lying within the company’s first-due area; are eligible to join. A person 16 years old can join as a junior member, while those 18 years old or older can join as senior members. Anyone interested in membership should contact Chief Atkins at 825-4522 or write the department at P.O. Box 47, Boston, Va. 22713. This writer has high praise for the Salem VFD and especially those first-responders who were so efficient during the illness and passing of my late father, F. R. Frazier. Again may I say thank you and wish the Salem Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad much success.

A substantial portion of the proposed increase in school spending will be balanced by adding state revenues. According to the latest figures Estabrook has received from Richmond, Rappahannock can expect $103,352 more in state aid, a jump of 15.4 percent. Combined with sales and wine tax money and federal funds, the total for other funds, anticipated for 1982-83 is $1,158,910, a 12 percent increase. 1 Photos courtesy Loring Andenoa Out of the Attic THE BROTHER AND SISTER team of Loring Anderson (photo taken 1922) of Washington, Va., and Martha Anderson (photo taken 1929) who now resides in Front Royal.

V__ J Spring arrives on Mar. 20 Spring, which has flirted with Virginians during the past week, arrives on Friday, March 20, at 10:52 p.m. The vernal equinox occurs at the moment when the sun moves directly above the earth’s equator and marks the beginning of spring in the northern hemisphere. “On the day of the vernal equinox, the sun will rise due east and set due west,” reports Dr. Paul H. Knappenberger Jr., director of the Science Museum of Virginia. This equinox got its name from the Latin word, “vernal,” meaning spring and “equinox,” which means equal night. The autumnal equinox occurs in September, marking the beginning of fall. For the next six months, the sun will rise in the northeast and set in the northwest, producing longer hours of daylight, which bring welcomed relief from winter’s darkness. Spring at the Science Musuem of Virginia means dinosaurs. A major exhibition, DINOSAURS!, opened on March 13 and features five robotic dinosaurs that move and roar. DINOSAURS! will remain at the Museum through May 31. The Science Musuem is at 2500 West Broad Street in Richmond. The exhibit areas are open daily between 11:30 a.m. and 8 p.m. Admission to the exhibit areas only is $2.50 for adults and $2 for all others.

After I had made great effort to hit the ball as far as I could— and it went less distance than I could have thrown it—he shook his head and said, "You surely waste a lot of money." "What's money got to do with my bad golf shot?” I asked. "Well," he said. "You spend all that money on golf clubs, then won't lei them do their work for you. You're trying to guide the ball. That's the club's job." I pondered the pro s words. It suddenly occurred to me that what I do with a golf club, I often do with life, especially with God’s Word—the Bible. The Bible is filled with truth and guidance; with great life-principles. Rather than accepting by faith God s Word, I often try to “make the shot" all by myself, rather than allowing His truth to guide the "shots" of my life.

Progress, the growth of power, is the end and boon of liberty. — W.E. Charming Calciii] 11 : Kids need a lot By SANDRA R. RICHARDSON Calcium is one of the nutrients essential for growth and development of bones and teeth. A calcium deficiency is a rare diagnosis for a child because the body has some protective mechanisms to keep this from happening. It makes better use of the calcium which is ingested. Normally infants and childreii absorb only about 60 percent of ingested calcium; adults absorb about 50 percent. There is also a movement of calcium from the bone to blood stream in periods of deficiency. Children who do not drink milk or eat other dairy products fail to get enough calcium in their diets. Since most other foods contain only trace amounts of this nutrient, it’s difficult to get enough calcium without dairy products. Children under nine need two to three glasses (600-900 milligrams) of milk each day. Young people nine to 12 need three glasses (900 milligrams) and teenagers need four glasses (1,200 milligrams). Not all children have a taste for milk and Rappahannock Business & Service Directory Next Deadline March 20 Call 675-3338 to place your ad! Only $3.25 per week for a 1 inch space!

Parents need to serve foods which contain milk that family members find enjoyable and will help calcium needs to be met. Eating habits established during early years may make the difference between good health and possibly being faced with diseases linked completely or in part to dietary habits. Milk provides protein, phosphorous, several B vitamins, vitamins A and D, as well as calories. Protein in milk contains all the essential amino adds for building and repairing body cells. Phosphorous assists calrium in its work, and the B vitamins aid digestion and the nervous system. Calories furnish energy. Whole milk contains vitamin A, a necessary nutrient for eyes and skin. Two percent and skim milk have vitamin A added to make it equally nutritious, minus the calories. Another nutrient added to milk is vitamin D. Vitamin D aids calcium in building bones and teeth. Macaroni and cheese is an excellent source of calcium. One cup of homemade macaroni and cheese contains 362 milligrams of calcium. Cheeseburger quiche is another good source of calcium. One-sixth of a pie contains 206 milligrams of calcium. A slice (1/6 of pie) of custard pie contains 146 milligrams of calcium. Encourage your children to drink milk or eat foods high in calcium. « Following are some recipes that will help: Custard pie 2 c. milk, scalded 3-4eggs 4T. sugar 1/41. nutmeg 1/21. vanilla 1/81. almond extract (optional) 19-inch unbaked pie shell Beat eggs slightly, add sugar, nutmeg, and vanilla; then add scalded milk.

A complete list of Virginia’s State Parks and the activities available at each is detailed in the 24page booklet “Discover a New World.” The free publication is available from any Virginia State Park or by contacting the Virginia Division of Parks and Recreation, 1201 Washington Building, Capitol Square, Richmond, Va. 23219; (804) 7861712. Trout season opens early Trout anglers should eryoy better fishing this year because of a change in the opening date of the annual season. Opening day for the 1987 trout fishing season will be Saturday, March 21 at 9 a.m. Jack Hoffman, chief of the Fish Division of the Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries, said that the change will mean the season starts two weeks earlier than usual, and predicted an increase in the productive fishing time as a result. He reminded anglers to note the change in both the date and starting time. Also, Mr. Hoffman added, under the listing of special regulation areas, the Little River section in Floyd County WILL NOT be open to public fishing. The land has been posted and trespassing is not permitted. Fishing regulations in the Shenandoah National Park remain the same as in previous years. The season opens at the same time as the rest of the state. Daily creel limit is five trout, and all must be at least eight inches in length. Any trout under eight inches must be immediately released, Only single-hook flies, spinners and other artificial lures are allowed. No bait of any kind may be used. The Rapidan and Staunton Rivers have been designated as Fish-for-Fun areas. Fishing in those streams is restricted to artificial flies or lures with one barbless hook. All fish caught must be immediately returned to the stream. Fish-for-Fun streams are open to anglers year-round. Park Superintendent Ronald Wrye has announced that, due to low population levels, several streams in the park will be closed to fishing this year. Naturalists hope that, by protecting the few remaining fish, the populations will recover. Streams closed for the 1987 season include: Lands Run, Overall Run, Fultz Run, South Fork Dry Run, North Fork Dry Run and Doyles River. Anyone fishing in the Park must have in their possession a valid Virginia fishing license. Licenses, including a non-resident license good for five days, may be purchased at the Big Meadows Wayside or from local sporting goods stores. • Personal, local service and in-house appraisals mean no delays.

Main St. Rappahannock Newt photo/Lon Haller GIVING THE PANTHERS a workout, Coach Gary Leake swings away during a pre-season practice last week. The Panthers home opener is Tuesday at 4 p.m. against Stonewall-Jackson. Leake lauds ‘hard working’ team By LOU HATTER Rappahannock Newt SUIT Writer With the start of the high school baseball season only days away, Coach Gary Leake had high praise for the efforts of the Panther varsity. “Overall, they are a young team - - without a great deal of seasoned varsity experience. But what they lack in experience, they make up in determination and hustle. They are anxious to learn, and I can see the improvement every day.” The Panthers have only two seniors this season, captains Wayne Foster and Reggie Williams. Both will start; Foster at first base and Williams in right field. Rappahannock will field seven juniors on the varsity this year, led by team captain Greg Smith. Four were named to the starting team. Three sophomores will also be on the field for the season opener, to be played at Randolph-Macon Academy in Front Royal, Saturday at 3 p.m. Coach Leake pointed to the depth of his pitching staff - seven, led by 6’3” 190 pound sophomore Doug Smith - as a definite strength. Reggie Williams, a right-handed curveballer, and junior Matthew Settle, “a hard-throwing lefthander,” are also expected to give opposing teams some trouble, Coach Leake said. With the exception of second base, which is “still up for grabs” in a three-way battle for a starting spot between Thomas Jones, Wayne Dodson and Scotty Tummeyer, the lineup is set. Coach Leake expects the starters for Saturday’s opener to be led by pitcher Matthew Settle. Wayne Foster will be on first base, Greg Smith at shortstop, Tony Clark at third, Doug Smith in left field, James Walters in center and Reggie Williams in right. Wesley Jenkins will be behind the plate. “It’s a very flexible team, with a lot of guys who can play different positions. It makes it very easy for a coach.” Coach Leake added that “most of the team played JV ball — that gave them a winning attitude. One of the keys to a successful program is knowing how to win -- and being willing to work as hard as is necessary to win. They don’t take it for granted.” He said “they are a very coachable team - I see the improvement every day. We’ve set our goals high. If the pitching comes through, we should do well.” Other members of the Panthers this spring are Adam Clatterbuck, Dwight Parker, Danny Ellis, Greg Daczewitz, Jay Burke, Mike Payne, John South and Paul Butler. ‘The guys have gained a lot of experience through Rappahannock Athletic Association summer program. They have a lot of knowledge - - but that’s different than the seasoned experience of varsity baseball,” Coach Leake said. “They’re working hard - they want it! The key will be how well we play early. They are anxious to get out on the field and play. I’m looking forward to opening day — the guys are definitely ready!” Coach Leake added that the home opener, as well as the first Bull Run District game, will be against Stonewall Jackson at 4 p.m. next Tuesday. He said that, being a three-year RCHS varsity veteran himself, he is looking forward to coaching the Panthers this spring. “Baseball is still my first love . . . I’ve always been anxious to get back to it. I’m excited about it.” Rec. sign-up deadline Mar. 25 Registration closes Mar. 25 for most Fauquier County Paries and Recreation spring programs.

Wakefield merit finals All four of Wakefield School’s National Merit Semi-Finalists for 1987, Sean Bennett, Stephen Butler, Lisa Larimer, and Hank Sohn, have met the requirements necessary to qualify as finalists in this year’s competition for National Merit Scholarships. The selection of about 6,000 Merit Scholars from among the 13,500 finalists is now in progress, with announcements to be made in March and April of the national scholarship winners. In order to qualify for the finalist category, semi-finalists had to make SAT scores that were equivalent to the PSAT/NMSQT scores that determined semi-finalist standing. In addition, the semi-finalists had to document high academic performance throughout their secondary school years, including their senior year to date. The finalist category is a very select group representing feWei^than one-half of one per cent-of American college-bound seniors. Wakefield, a 14-year-old private school for grades pre-kindergarten through high school, located in rural Rappahannock County, has the highest percentage of National Merit Finalists in its senior class. Spawning season beckons With the erratic weather of March come the robins and the many songbirds of the spring and summer. With the return of the songbirds we know that spring has indeed “sprung.” Soon the herring and then the shad will make their way back to the point of their origin. Where years before these adult fish started out as newly hatched fry, they will now seek to lay down eggs and sperm to WILKINS' SHOECENTEI VIRGINIA'S LARGEST AMILY SHOE STOR w FwnOy-owiMd l optrafe? shic* 1947 UmifOTsnnRS h Stick - Mm'i, Wmm'i t CUUna'i -ty*tWain|l«H«rJ-t*-RtSom - Mm's, Wmm's l ChUm's dvor 100 Brand Norms To Chooso Fro* i rffffvmyj ----.

It never ceases to amaze me that of the millions of fry that hatch, only a few thousand survive to carry on the species. As some species of fish start their annual spawning ritual, this is the very time that they are the most vulnerable to the angler. Crappie, for instance, are very social fish, and can be found in groups or schools virtually the year around. However, as the water warms in springtime, the crappie tend to group into' larger and larger schools as the roe within their bodies matures nearer and nearer to spawning time. When water temperatures reach 50 to 55 degrees, the larger female fish begin to defend small, onesquare-foot territories. These territories will be approximately where their eggs will be dispersed to be fertilized by a nearby male. During these hectic days of urgency, crappie can be caught easily by dropping small minnows or small lures into the brushy areas they have selected for spawning. Even fish biologists differ in opinion as to whether crappie feed on these minnows or lures or attack them as intruders into their territories. nernng ana snaa ao noi ieea alter their spawning run begins and can be caught on lures only as they defend their territories against intrusion. Upon examination of stomach contents, shad will often have small sticks and rocks, yet no food. Apparently, these small intruders were “destroyed” by swallowing. The smaUmouth bass has long been a real challenge in the spring as the larger females are more susceptible to taking lures when on the spawning bed than at any other time of the year. As the female first fins out a small depression in the sand or gravel bottom of the river, she begins to defend this area aginst any intruders, even food objects, or prospective male mates. Once the eggs mature within her body, she seeks the mate for spawning, not by leaving to look for him, but by allowing a male to join her in the spawning bed. Only during the brief period of male companionship Outdoors Bob McMeans 439-8364 is the female smallmouth not receptive to lures. While the male is allowed to stay in the spawning bed, it now is his responsibility to defend against intrusion. When the female’s eggs are ripe for spawning she lays them in the sand or gravel bed. After the male has fertilized them, he is unceremoniously chased out of the area. The male would make a meal of the eggs and the fry when hatched. Largemouth bass are much the same as the smallmouth except that the male’s role sometimes extends past the fertilization of eggs. Neither male nor female actually feed during the spawning period, but are frequently caught on live or artificial baits as they pick up these intruders to crush or carry out of the spawning nest area. Sputter-baits or rattling lures are frequent offenders of the territorial urges of largemouth bass, and account for many super bass in March and April. The landlocked striped bass react similarly to the smallmouth and the largemouth except that the striper is generally found to spawn in reservoirs and lakes near or in areas of moving water — without making any kind of nest or bed. The stripers simply cast their eggs over a large area in hopes that the spawning male’s sperm will find the eggs scattered along the bottom of the stream or riverbed. As a result of this haphazard spawning practice, many millions of eggs are not fertilized and many millions of fertilized eggs are eaten by small fish. Thus, the future of the landlocked striper is assured for many years to come, and the continued supplemental stocking programs of the Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries will guarantee enjoyment of the fabulous fighters in Virginia waters.

Deborah Flinchum far the Rjppahanoock News BILLY DODSON DISPLAYS the card, and what’s left of the balloon which carried it, which landed in a tree in his yard in Amissville. It turned out to be from a young girl in Ohio. Local boy finds Ohio balloon By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock Newi Special Writer Friday the thirteenth was not a bad luck day for second grader Billy Dodson. Billy and his parents Dixie and Clarence Dodson of Viewtown, explained a unanticipated sequence of events which began early Friday morning. Mr. Dodson spotted a balloon floating in the yard as the family was getting ready for school and work. Billy began to watch it bounce across the yard- It floated low *t first but it did nqt get caught-in a fence - that ? t' *■ • ;Y‘ *4*>*•; if would have been too easy. It floated higher but it did not catch m the low trees. It continued to drift higher and higher until it lodged in the tallest trees around the Dodson residence. The family went off to school and work. That afternoon the balloon was the first thing Billy thought of. It had waited for the family to re turn. Mr. Dodson tried to retrieve it by using a 40 foot ladder. Too short. So its fate was to be shot out of the tree. Billy discovered that the balloon has come to rest in his yard after a long journey from Wayne, Ohio. It was launched by an eight year old Girl Scout, Sarah Yambert, of Troop 555. Billy is now busily preparing to write a return letter to Sarah telling #bout his hpmq $»d,fts jvpbbiep in<$uding the fact'that hct is a Boy Scout. Billy was excited about finding the balloon but he was also concerned. He said, “It might not be a good idea to put your name and address on a card like that in case someone that doesn’t like kids might find it.” Billy now looks forward to Friday the thirteenth.

The association decided to distribute letters concerning the World Book Encyclopedia to each child. The class which returns the most responses will receive a free set of science encyclopedias given by the World Book Company. The elementary teachers requested that the SPTA write a letter to the school board to suggest a late school arrival plan on inclement days which are questionable. The parents were supportive of this idea. President Cindi Andreoni conveyed a request from Librarian Lucia Kilby for a volunteer to straighten the library’s shelves and card catalogue. Mrs. Kilby said this will accelerate the end of the year inventory. Parents are still concerned that they are not aware of the curriculum or goals of their children’s classes. Therefore, an informational program with Principal Maggie Piper is scheduled for the beginning of the next school year to help answer parents’ questions. Camille Harris suggested that a gifted/talented overview be presented also. Teacher Pud Maeyer emphasized the impor tance of getting the backing of as many parents as possible to make the program a success. A St. Patrick’s Day SPTA Sock Hop was held Friday, March 13. Many little and big leprecauns had a great time. They are all looking forward to the next Sock Hop scheduled for May. The SPTA noted its appreciation to parent Linda Mallory for her leadership in preparing the teacher’s dinner at the February parent teacher conference. Mrs. Mallory made a motion that the next SPTA movie be shown at the school on Friday, April 3. The choice of the movie will be decided on at a later date. The phone tree has been completed. Parents who expressed interest in being informed of unexpected early dismissals will receive the tree soon. There will be one more major work day on the playground in April. Both the ’ower grade playground and the upper grade fitness course need finishing touches. The Spring Fun Fair is scheduled for May 2 (rain or shine) from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Activities will be held in the halls, gym and outside. Committee chairman Mary Jane Swift said there will be games with prizes, cake walks, bake Bales, entertainment and many other fun things. Students will be selling one dollar chances for a prize of $300 to kick off the fair. The three highest salesmen will receive cash awards. Parents are needed to supervise games, bake cakes and lend a helping hand. More details will be discussed at April’s meeting. A nominating committee was appointed by President Andreoni. April Heddleston, Pud Maeyer and Chris Foreman will nominate willing persons for each office and a vote will be taken at the next meeting. Judy Tole made a motion to donate $1000 for a bus communication system. Most of the money for the system will come from the elementary school’s school fund. The base station which will be at the school board bus shop is the most expensive item to be purchased. The motion was carried. The association decided to elect different people to attend National PTA conferences. There are two per year (district and state). On March 28 there is a meeting in Harrisonburg. This Shenandoah District annual meeting will be an overview of district affairs. The meeting concluded with approval and selection of by-laws requested by the National PTA. The April 7 meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. and will focus on the Spring Fun Fair. UlLDlfMGMATERIAL Sphagnum PEAT MOSS •Helps break up heavy clay soil , «4 cu. ft.

Rappahannock J ournal • Farm • Business • Garden • Rural life ; Good news for beef eaters? Veteran newscaster Paul Harvey recently reported on his ABC Radio network program about an “insideout” look at a group of beef eating cattlemen to determine what relationship existed between beef consumption and cholesterol in the blood. The results surprised many of beefs critics. Dr. Harrison Pratt offered Iowa cattlemen attending their annual convention in Des Moines, Iowa, a free medical check-up to determine whether the beef they consumed had caused a higher than normal level of serum cholesterol. Paul Harvey reported that the blood cholesterol of Iowa cattlemen was lower than normal. In fact, 300 beef eaters had unusually low levels of cholesterol. It should be recognized that cattlemen exercised more than most people which may account for the low cholesterol levels. Mr. Harvey concluded: “But as Danny O’Neil would say, ‘obviously, the beef don’t hurt’.” Grain sign-up ends Mar. 30 If you have a wheat or feed grain base on your farm be sure to stop by the ASCS office to check out the 1987 wheat and feed grain acreage reduction programs.

Early spring garden notes By BIRGITT THORNHILL Extension Agent • In a sunny location with poor soil, plant nasturtiums for a colorful show. They require warm soil to sprout and start blooming in about 50 days. Too much water and fertilizer produces excess leaves and few flowers. • A popular gift plant at Easter, the Easter lily needs bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight* Keep , the soil moist. After danger of frost is over it can be planted in a sunny spot in the garden, where it will bloom next year. • For hot weather color, select one of the following: gloriosa daisy, madagascar periwinkle, ornamental peppers, Mexican zinnia, amaranthus "Joseph’s Coat.” Plant after all danger of frost is past and plan for color until winter arrives. • Many herbs are excellent for natural appearing rock gardens or formal plantings with brick pathways. Those herbs that do well in sandy soil and are partial to full sun locations include creeping thyme, sage, santolina and garlic. • Plant clematis in locations which receive at least 6 hours of sunshine a day. Use organic mulch or ground cover to shade roots and keep them cool. Plant in rich, welldrained loam. • When iris leaves appear thin and limp, check for borers. These grub-like insects can ruin an entire planting if not detected and eradicated early. • Fill the bare spots in the sunny flower bed with moss roses (Portulaca) and fertilize regularly to encourage blooms into the summer. • Many popular perennials can be divided now, including phlox, fall asters, shasta daisies, baby’s breath and liriope. Set up a plant exchange with Mends and neighbors to share the excess. • Consider planting flowers which may be dried for winter arrangements. Some of the best are strawflower, statice, Chinese lantern, celosia and globe amaranth. • Cut flower stalks back to the ground on daffodils, hyacinths, and other spring flowering bulbs as the flowers fade. Do not cut the foliage until it dries naturally. The leaves are necessary to produce strong bulbs capable of reflowering. • When chrysanthemums show signs of life, dig up and divide large plants. Discard woody portions and replant divisions 12-15 inches apart. • Aster contraster, a new flower introduction from 1986, is the world’s first aster with stripes. The fully double, incurving three inch blooms come in a wide range of color.

The plant is dwarf, reaching only 9 to 12 inches, with a round compact habit. A contraster looks equally well in a tub on the patio or planted as a group in the garden. • Scatter annual poppy seeds in flower borders. The fine seeds need no covering. The plants grow rapidly and provide colorful flowers in early summer. • Do not mow the lawn until it has grown at least 2 inches. The roots are being renewed in the spring and grass needs vigorous top growth initially. • Lawn grasses do best if mowed at the correct height: Kentucky Bluegrass IV2 to 2Vfe inches; Tall Fescue, IY2 to 3 inches; Creeping Red Fescue, 2 to 3 inches; Perennial Ryegrass, IV2 to 2Vz inches; Bermudagrass, 1/2 to 1 inch; Zoysia Grass, 3/4 to 1 inch. • Prune roses to buds which point outward to encourage open growth with good air circulation and sunlight penetration. Dark-colored canes indicate dead wood. Cut back an inch below these darkened areas. If no live buds are left, remove the entire cane or branch. • Tree seedlings can have a strong start in quart or half-gallon milk cartons. Remove top and bottom and stand on a frame covered with 1/4 inch mesh hardware. Fill with a mixture of peat moss, perlite and vermiculite. As the tap root grows through the bottom of the milk carton tube and mesh, it is “air pruned” forcing the development of fibrous side roots. • The best time to plant shrubs and trees is on a windless, cloudy day.

Resurgence of cases can also be expected in this area with the onset of warmer weather. The current epidemic of rabies began in Virginia in 1981. Since that time rabies has been identified in bats, bobcats, cats, cows, dogs, foxes, groundhogs, horses, raccoons, sheep and skunks. One of the most interesting statistics covering this outbreak is that of the 587 confirmed cases of animal rabies in Virginia since 1984, 68 percent of those animals infected were raccoons. In the Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District, which includes, Rappahannock, Fauquier, Culpeper, Madison and Orange counties, 73 v cases of animal rabies have been con--• firmed in the last two years. Many of* these rabid animals had contact with humans, pets and livestock, requir- * ing post exposure treatment and animal quarantine or destruction. Remember that all warmblooded animals are susceptible to rabies and that certain precautions should be taken: Vaccinate your dogs and cats. The number of rabid cats outnumber rabid dogs almost 10 to 1 in the latest outbreak. Admire wild animals from afar. Don’t attempt to capture or pick up a sick or overly friendly animal. Such - animals may very likely be rabid. Call your Animal Control Officer for ' advice. Wild animals should not be kept as pets. If you or your children are bitten, wash off the wound immediately with soap and water and contact • your physician. . . Any dog or cat (vaccinated or unvaccinated) that bites a person must be confined for 10 days’ observation. If symptoms of rabies^ develop, the animal should be humanely euthanized and tested or, if the animal dies, its head should be immediately submitted for testing. Dogs or cats currently immunized against rabies which are exposed to a proven or suspected rabid animal should receive an immediate booster dose of rabies vaccine from a licensed veterinarian and be confined properly for 90 days. Any fox, skunk, raccoon or bat that bites a person must be considered rabid unless proven otherwise by laboratory testing. Since rabies infection has a long incubation period (frequently up to eight weeks for exposure to arms or legs), preventive treatment consists of immunization. Rabies in humans is almost always fatal. Questions concerning rabies and possible exposure to rabid animals should be addressed to the Director, Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District. Offices are open weekdays 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Telephone numbers for the respective offices are as follows: Rappahannock 675-3516; Culpeper 825-1300; Fauquier 3474512; Madison 948-5481; and Orange 672-1291. Real Estate fg> Eileen M. Day realtor jslss LOOKING BUT NOT FINDING? Do you find yourself looking for a home but unable to find the right house with monthly payments that match your pocketbook? Well, here is some advice. If you are really sincere about buying, the chances are that you will have to pay more than you expected for the house that really fits your needs. Don’t expect prices to go lower if you wait. Start looking in a little higher price bracket. Every thousand or two higher means a much larger number of houses opened for your inspection. You may find a lower tax bill may more than offset the higher price in your total monthly payment. If you have been limiting yourself to new houses only, start considering the advantages and savings of a modem house already broken in or a fine older home that has been modernized. Consider new geographic areas and get more REALTORS working for you. Don’t quit, don’t get discouraged. It’s worth the extra time and effort because there is no better time to buy than now. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M. DAY, Realtor, The Clopton House, Washington, Va. 22747. Phone: 675-3400. We’re here to help.

Even discounting the elusive leak which has been siphoning off some 200,000 gallons a month for some time, “average use has gone up,” he told the council. Mr. Wickens suggested establishing a commercial rate, which might be raised without affecting residential rates. “I don’t like taxing low-income people,” he insisted. Taxing by the front foot, another proposal suggested to council, he added, “would kill those people with double lots.” “We have been given a mandate,” Mayor Morehouse replied, “to do something . .. We’ve gone so far in the hole - we need to cut our losses, get the ball rolling and start to fix it.” Councilman Wickens proposed tabling any action on water rate increases until the April meeting. Councilman Peter Skowronski agreed, adding, “I’d like to see The Inn’s meter read more than it has been.” Several members of council questioned his remark, and he explained that the construction work done at The Inn at Little Washington during the past several years had covered up its water meter, and that, according to information given to him, it had not been read in several years. The substance of his allegation was confirmed by Mr. Fisher and by Ray Pullen, who reads the town’s meters for the water authority. The Inn’s water bill has been based on estimated readings since before all 10 of its guest rooms were completed last spring, Mr. Fisher said. According to Mr. Pullen, a crew working for The Inn moved the town’s water meter to its present location inside a concrete manhole, then covered it with an iron plate which he cannot move by himself. The manhole, reportedly located in the parking lot behind The Inn, has now been covered by gravel spread in the lot. “It’s the only meter in town not read regularly,” Mr. Pullen added. “Their construction covered up the meter,” Mayor Morehouse agreed. “It would be a violation in any other jurisdiction . . . it’s definitely wrong - we need to get access. If they won’t cooperate there are ways to get it done.” Following Mr. Skowronski’s revelation about The Inn’s water bill, council decided to table any action on water rates until its April meeting. Mayor Dean Morehouse pointed out, with the agreement of town attorney Frank Reynolds, that the council can still pass a business and professional licensing tax. Mr. Fisher told council that a form had been sent to all businesses registered inside the town limits requesting that they provide confidential information on their gross receipts for the past three years. "The information will give us a rough idea of the revenue we can expect from a business tax.” Council member Evelyn Willis NOTICE REVCO CIRCULATION In today’s Revco Spring CleanUp Clearance insert-Please note the following regarding our $3.00 prescriptions coupon: “Our pharmacist will call your Doctor for any transferred prescription.

Moin Front Royol said that she is concerned that the collection process for a business tax could become “enormously complicated.”' Mayor Morehouse replied that “part of the process is to see if it is viable ... it may be that the collection of the tax will cost more than the revenue we can expect.” Mr. Reynolds added that the state enabling legislation exempts a lot of people from the tax, including wholesalers and utilities. Mr. Wickens observed that the ordinance which had been given to council as a model would need extensive modification to limit its scope if it were to be adopted by the town. Mr. Wickens said that it contained definitions of businesses which would be inappropriate for inclusion in the town’s ordinance. For example, he said, gardens are classified as amusements, and would require a license. The sample ordinance, which was presented to council by attorney David Dickey, who represents The Inn, was written by Mr. Dickey when he was county attorney for Greene County. It was adopted in 1984. Mayor Morehouse stressed that the questionaires which have been distributed to businesses are for informational purposes only, that they will be treated confidentially, and that reply is voluntary. Council took no action on a licensing tax at last Wednesday’s meeting. Acting on a suggestion by coundl member Nan Thomasson, a “sense of the council” resolution was passed unanimously, establishing a timetable for action on the water system. Mayor Morehouse proposed, and council accepted, May 1 as a date for a firm plan on upgrading the water system; that June 1 be the target date for bids to be advertised and plans certified by a registered engineer; and that work begin by July 1. Mayor Morehouse noted that the upgrading will need to include, because of recent state requirements, an expansion of the existing reservoir, the installation of a chlorination system and the installation of improved check valves to eliminate the possibility of backflushing. Mr. Fisher reported that his survey of the water system is progressing, with only two streets left to plot. “But there’s only three streets in town,” Mayor Morehouse observed. “Well,” Mr. Fisher replied with a smile, “my tape is only 10 feet long.” In other business, the council: • Appointed, by unanimous vote, Bill Frizzell to the town’s planning commission to fill the vacancy left by Randolph ClateFs resignation. The commission’s other four seats are held by Mr. Wickens, Gloria Robinson, Wallace Critzer and Dan Lewis. Mr. Wickens also proposed that council advertise its intent to amend the ordinance to expand the planning commission to seven members. That motion was also passed unanimously. • Approved a motion by Mr. Wickens to advertise its intent to repeal a town ordinance enacted March 7, 1946 and never, as far as Mr. Wickens could determine, repealed. It enforces everything from profane swearing, the sale of rotten seafood, begging, the sale or display of obscene materials, to hog pens, he told the council. “I suspect that it was passed and then forgotten,” he said. “It doesn’t have any relevance to our situation.” Council approved his motion unanimously. • Approved a motion to advertise its intent to recodify the zoning ordinance which was enacted, as amended, August 21,1986. Mr. Reynolds informed council that, although the recodification contains no changes to the ordinance adopted last summer, state law requires that council pass an ordinance adopting the recodification of that ordinance. The intention to enact that ordinance, he concluded, must be advertised. Candidates (Continued from Page 1) current supervisors, Charles K. Estes said he has “eryoyed serving the people of Piedmont District” and is "looking forward to another four.” Mr. Estes has lobbied hard for the dtial-laning of Route 211 from Washington to Sperryville to be restored to the state’s six-year road plan; this year, that long-delayed project went back on the books. He indicated that safety improvements to the county’s roads, particularly to sections of Route 522 now heavily used by big trucks, will continue to be a priority. Mr. Estes added that he will elaborate later on other goals and objectives. Nelson Lane, former member of the county School Board who won a seat on the Board of Supervisors four years ago, said he will seek reelection this November. “I will continue to do my best for the county’s best interests if the people will have me,” the Stonewall-Hawthome representative said. Rappahannock’s newest supervisor, AJ Henry, who was named by the rest of the board to fill the vacancy left by the death of J. Richard Latham last November, also confirmed that he will be a candidate. As of this week, there have been no announcements of challenges to the incumbent board members or constitutional ^officers. The deadline for candidates to file with the Clerk’s Office is Tuesday, June 9. School budget (Continued from Page 1) 1986-87. Teacher pay raises will be balanced in part by $49,000 in “transitional” aide from the state. That money is forthcoming only if the county affords its teachers salary increases of at least 10 percent. The board deferred action on administrative pay and compensation for classified personnel until next Tuesday’s work session when the budget is scheduled to be adopted and forwarded to the supervisors.
