County Administrator John McCarthy said he. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke and Sheriff John Henry Woodward had attended a meeting in Loudoun County about entering into an agreement with that county to build a juvenile detention facility but came away empty handed. Mr. McCarthy said Loudoun proposed to build a 16-bed facility, but would expand it to 21 beds if other counties want to participate. He said it would cost Rappahannock $61,200 per bed in up front costs plus $14,200 per year in operating costs. The agreement would only be for seven years, he said, and after that Loudoun would take con trol ot the bed and the county would get nothing back. He said that would work out to $63.10 per day, compared to $102.50 per day the county is paying now when it has to transport a juvenile to another jurisdiction. If Rappahannock does not need the bed, it could be rented to another jurisdiction for $106, he said. Mr. McCarthy said the county currently budgets $15,000 per year for juvenile detention. Some years the couty spends that much and more; some years it spends significantly less, he said. He said he could not recommend that the county get involved in the deal. “It’s too much to pay for too little guarantee," he said. Sheriff Woodward and Mr. Luke agreed, but Mr. Luke suggested the county try to change the deal to 20 years with Loudoun allowed to buv out the county’s interest in the bed at the end of seven years. Currently the county has to search throughout the state for a bed that is available whenever it is necessary to lock a juvenile up, Mr. Luke said. Often there is no place available. He said once additional beds are available, judges will be more likely to sentence juveniles to detention. "Kids are not sentenced to detention because the judge knows there is no where to send them,” he said. “I agree 1 don’t think we would be getting enough out of our money," Sheriff Woodward said. “The problem is we don't have a kappahanniH.k Stall Photo Sharon Kilpatrick Peter Luke, Robert Anderson, Diane Bruce and Ellis Bingham leave the magistrate's office project following a tour. place. The last three. I just turned them out the door. They’re just laughing in our face. They know we don’t have any place to put them.” ~ Piedmont District representative* Charles K. “Pete” Estes asked about treating older juveniles like adults. He said he could remember when children as young as 10 were put in jail. Sheriff Woodward said to charge a juvenile as an adult, it is necessary first to get a judge to agree. "We’re not going to get the crimes we’re having transferred to circuit court,” he said. Mr. Estes said he felt the mood in Richmond may lead to lowering the age for juvenile detention to 1(5 from 18. In an unrelated matter Mr. McCarthy said the county is waiting for Culpeper County to decide if it is interested in joining Rappahannock and rauquier counties in trying to advertise a request for proposals for hauling trash to a private landfill. He said in the meantime the consultant is proceeding with the Part B application for the new cell at the county’s landfill. He also reported that agriculture agent Scott Cunningham happened to see that six bags of potentially hazardous chemicals were put in the Huntlv dumpster. He said Mr. Cunningham contacted him, and he contacted the sheriffs department. The bags were moved to the covered shed at the landfill, and Mr. Cunningham found farmers who were interested in taking the chemicals, Mr. McCarthy said. Hampton District representative Mike Massie said that an incident like that “is one of my biggest fears. The county could be liable.” Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham agreed saying that is why most counties are going to manned sites. He said that the “convenience sites” in Fauquier are manned and open 36 hours a week. He said that in Rappahannock even fewer hours would probably be possible, “but then people just throw stuff over the fence.” The supervisors agreed to postpone consideration of abandoning a section of Route 707 until the February meeting. Mr. McCarthy said he had talked with Sandy Rives, of the Shenandoah National Park, who said the park generally is opposed to closing off access to trails in the See Crime, Page A-6

Ramey Guilty of Drug Charges Attorney Seeks To Suppress Evidence By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Randall Linden Ramey, 22, of Rixeyville pleaded guilty to two felonies and one misdemeanor in Circuit Court on Dec. 2. The felonies he is charged with are distribution of a controlled substance to a minor under the age of 18 and possession of PCP, a Schedule II drug. The misdemeanor charge is for carrying a concealed weapon, a 9mm handgun. Mr. Ramey is free on bond until March 14, at which time he will be in Circuit Court for sentencing. Manuel A. Johnson, 33, of Culpeper, was in Circuit Court on Dec. 2 for a suppression hearing. According to testimony by State Trooper Sean Knick and Deputy Connie Compton, Mr. Johnson and some friends were sitting in his truck near the intersection of Rts. 211 and 642 in Amissville earlier this year. The truck was parked in the right lane of the road. Mr. Johnson would not get out of the truck when asked to, so Mr. Knick and Ms. Compton assisted him out of the truck, they said. They then arrested him for being drunk in public. They found a foil packet in Mr. Johnson’s shirt during the pat-down as the result of the arrest. After testing, the foil packet was found to contain cocaine. Mr. Johnson’s attorney, Mark Williams, asked that the evidence seized as a result of this arrest be suppressed. Judge W. Shore Robertson directed Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke and Mr. Wil, liams to see if they could find any cases already decided which would deal with this particular type of situation. The case has been continued to March 14James Franklin Butler, 33, of Culpeper, pleaded quilty to a misdemeanor, receiving stolen goods, which belonged to David and Helen Smith. He will be spending 30 days in Boxwood beginning on Dec. 26, and will be in court again on March 14 for receipt of a presentence report and imposition of sentencing. Donnie Donnell Carter, 35, of Fairfax, was sentenced to six years on charges of breaking and entering. He was also sentenced to 12 months in the county jail. He will serve 60 days, and will be under supervised probation for three years. Gary E. James, 26, of Flint Hill appeared in court with no counsel. Judge W. Shore Robertson noted that Mr. James had been convicted of three DWI’s. An order was entered to declare Mr. James an habitual offender. Judge Robertson told Mr. James that he is not allowed to operate a motor vehicle for ten years. Gary Wayne Phelps, 36, of Front Royal was charged with having operated a motor vehicle on a public highway after having been declared an habitual offender. The court found Mr. Phelps guilty. Mr. Phelps’s attorney, Frank Reynolds, informed Judge W. Shore Robertson that his client has been found guilty in two other jurisdictions, Stafford County and Warren County, for this same charge. Mr. Reynolds asked the court to order a mental evaluation of his client. According to Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, John Wesley Leake, 19, of Chester Gap, will be accepted into boot camp if certain documents are provided to the Department of Corrections. The documents required are medical and psychological evaluations. Mr. Leake will be on two years of supervised probation once he is released from boot camp. Mr. Leake had been charged with stealing two speakers, one amplifier, a speaker box and approximately 20 CDs from a Camaro belonging to Wanda Ennis.

No Action In County Suit George Gilliam, who was assigned the job of defending the county in the suit brought by four landowners because of the sludge ban, says he has not filed a response on behalf of the county because he expects the landowners’ lawyer to file amendments to the original suit. Werner Krebser, John Powers, Dale Welch and Patricia Saltonstall filed suit against the county in October. Mr. Gilliam said that John Foote, the chief counsel for the plaintiffs, let him know he wants to file amendments to the original suit brought in state court and to also file a suit in federal court. Mr. Gilliam said he expects the amendments and federal suit to be filed this week. Once the plaintiffs have refiled, Mr. Gilliam expects to have a response within a few weeks.

Flint Hill Ladies Write Town's History In the Process, They Discover a Love for Research By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer When Arland Welch and Esther Kidwell began doing research on their houses in the mid 1980s, they did not quite know what they were getting into. One bit of research led to another, and eventually they found themselves writing a history of Flint Hill. It is available as a book now, published by Bowling Green Press. Mrs. Kidwell explains that she is Bowling Green Press. They assembled all the material they wanted to print, letters, maps, pictures, and their own text and took it to the Print House Express in Warrenton to have copies made and bound. The book sells for $22.50 plus $2.50 for shipping. They had 200 copies made as a first printing and say they have sold most of them and now have to get more printed. Mrs. Welch comes from Madison County. She lives at Mountain View near downtown Flint Hill. For 32 years she worked as the office manager at the Avtex plant in Front Royal and retired when it shut down. Occasionally she goes back in to work with the records to determine if someone is eligible for retire ment. She said Mrs. Kidwell got her interested in doing historical research. Mrs. Kidwell lives at Bowling Green. She worked for the maintenance manager of United Airlines first at National Airport and then at Dulles. She said she was working at Dulles before the airport actually opened when she heard that President John Kennedy had been shot. She retired in 1984 and she and her husband took a trip around the world. “I just loved Singapore,” she said. She says she is a southern girl, originally from southern Minnesota. She was doing geneological research and trying to trace her home back when she discovered that in 1728 the original farm of her property joined the farm of Mrs. Welch’s property along the.Fodderstack Road leading to Flint Hill. As they joined together to do the research, they discovered a natural partnership. The partnership is still apparent as they bounce ideas off each other deciding what to tell a visitor. They learned a lot in the process of writing the book and hope others will continue the research. “If someone would just take this up now and do the newer section,” Mrs. Welch said. WARREN QUALITY SHOP 113 East Main Street, Front Royal Virginia 22630 VISA/MASTERCARD (703) 635-3787 EVERYTHING IN THE STORE NOW ON SALE ENDS DECEMBER 24 “We stepped on a few toes by not including the newer section,” Mrs. Kidwell conceded. “We’ve just touched the tip of the iceberg." They explaihed that the newer section of Flint Hill starts with the Four and Twenty Blackbirds building and goes north. They learned that Flint Hill was established as a town by the General Assembly in 1843 with the same rights and responsibilities as Washington, but they did not learn why it is not still an incorporated town. They learned that many residents went to Missouri in 1839 with a wagon train. They learned that the town name was a compromise. Some wanted to call it Pendleton and some wanted to name it Hickerson. Flint Hill once had doctors, tanners, tailers and taverns called ordinaries. In the early 1900s there was the Blue Ridge Institute, a dance and music conservatory, they said. More recently there was the Ricketts Hotel. It was a center of activity in the 1940s when girls from Foxcroft School rode horses into town and stayed overnight at the hotel on their way to visit the Luray Caverns. Mrs. Welch said she can remember those days. “I’d like to go back and interview some of these people,” Mrs. Kidwell said. She mentioned a man whose last name was Shaffner who left $10,000 for a memorial to his mother. She said the money was never forthcoming, although Shaffner was fairly prominent having worked with Samuel Morse on the telegraph. Another interesting character treated himself for cancer, even operating on his own eye, she said. He was considered a black sheep and not hurried in the family cemetery, she added. Mrs. Welch agreed. “I’d like to interview some of these Easthams that built this place,” she said, referring to Mountain Green. They are pleased that people are enjoying the book. Several have said it has saved them hours of research on their own. Many report that they find the stories in the book fascinating and can’t put the book down, they say. Currently they are working with the Rappahannock Historical Society going through old chancery records in the clerk’s office. They are loving every minute of that work, finding all sorts of treasures. “If we’d known about the chancery records, we would never have finished this book,” Mrs. Kidwell concluded.

The Board of Supervisors decided Monday they could not afford to spend $43 a day for the next seven years to reserve one bed in a juvenile detention facility in Loudoun County only to have to give up that bed at the end of those seven years. However, juvenile offenders are being returned to the streets because there is no place to put them. The law requires that they be housed in separate facilities from adult criminals. The facility proposed for Loudoun County will have a large commons room, classrooms and a gymnasium as well as sleeping quarters. The cost on a per-bed basis for construction is over $120,000 to be split between the state and county. When it is necesary to lock up a juvenile, the Rappahannock Sheriffs department engages in an extensive search for an opening. Often deputies spend most of a day transporting the juvenile to a facility, often as far away as Roanoke. Another day is required to bring the juvenile back to Rappahannock County for trial. If a space cannot be located often the juvenile is turned loose. Commonwelth’s Attorney Peter Luke told the supervisors that judges are reluctant to sentence juveniles to detention because they know there is often no space. According to Sheriff John Henry Woodward the juveniles are also quite aware of this situation and know that in most cases they will be let go. The whole juvenile justice system is a failure. The anonymity granted juveniles, erasing any juvenile record when they become 18, generally releasing them into the custody of parents who cannot cope, and expecting the schools to cope when the parents and court system cannot, has led to a total comtempt for authority on the part of many juvenile offenders. Most juveniles make it through adolescence without finding themselves on the wrong side of the law. Many contribute significantly to the life of the community, their churches and schools. A better solution must be found for the minority who do not. Perhaps treating them as adults and eliminating the entire special system of treatment for juveniles is the answer. CHRISTMAS ^ DECORATION Si HEY MISTER/ YOU MAKE A FUNNY LOOKING ANGEL/' _ / Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News Staff Photu/Cindy Mahan These artificial fruits and beads decorate a door wreath in Washington. ■i Local Cafe Enjoyed To the Editor: According to recent reports in the Rappahannock News the county seat of Rappahannock County will soon lose its only moderately-priced American cuisine restaurant operated by a native of this area. No amount of professional expertise can replace tasty home-cooked food and deserts. There are still some of us who prefer American food Virginia style. This food served in an informal atomsphere with prompt and friendly service is the hallmark of the Country Cafe. In other areas, when a business is forced to vacate its premises, there are other facilities readily available for relocation. Such is not the case in Washington, Va. This poses a real handicap not only for the proprietor but for his customers. Since the Country Cafe opened it has been a real asset to the town. Many regular customers work in town and can walk to the Cafe for a meal or a cup of coffee during the day. Many who live in the county and travelers know it is a good place for a quick lunch or a leisurely one. It seems redundant to replace a thriving business with another purported to be of the same kind. The Country Cafe surely is not a threat to The inn at Little Washington. This leaves the impression, though it may not be the intention, that one business or group is trying to dominate the business community in Washington. Va. Money may be power but friendliness is more valuable. LIBBY WHETZEL Washington Sludge Supported To the Editor: I am a grain farmer from Southern Fauquier and I was one of the first farmers to use sludge as a fertilizer subsitute. I have seen farms in this area that never produced over 100 bushels of corn per acre in a good season go to 150 bushels with the use of sludge. The benefits to pasture hay and other crops are just as impressive. Of course another benefit is that it is tree, and that is good news for the main industry in your county, agriculture. If we in Fauquier County could have had the use of sludge 5 or 6 years before we did, we could have saved a lot of farmers from going bankrupt. I should know because in the early to mid-eighties I lost at least 10 good size farmers to bankrupcy that were customers of mine in Fauquier Grain Co. that I sold this year. I understand that a group of farmers are suing Rappahannock County, for the right to land apply' sludge and if I may give your supervisors some advice, give in, do not waste tax dollars defending something you cannot win. The landowners have all the eggs in their basket and you do not have a prayer. Resides this is good for you county, you will be getting the cleanest sludge in the U.S. from a non industrial city J and they pay the freight and spread ing charges. It is also good for the environment. My congradulations to the four landowners who have the courage and foresight to stand up for this right. C.L. “BOOTS” RITCHIE Bealeton Some Hunters Unsafe To the Editor: On Nov. 27 at 8 a.m. my family and I were startled by a gunshot extremely close to our house. I ventured outside to investigate. On doing so 1 saw a deer less than 20yards from the house at which an irresponsible hunter had fired. Seeking more information I phoned the game warden who informed me that there is no ordinance in this county about how far from a house a hunter is allowed to discharge a firearm. This is not a letter discussing the moral of hunting, but I find it very distrubing that as long as a hunter has permission to hunt on a property he is able to fire his gun regardless at human safety or property. I have no problem with the majority of safe hunters but maybe the weight of the law is required to reign in the idiotic actions of the few. CHRIS WILSON Washington Thanks For $4,314.49! to the Editor: The families, staff, and Board want to thank our wonderful community for helping us raise $4,314.49 at our fifth annual Christmas Bazaar. A very special thanks goes to the Inn for the donation of a dinner for two for our raffle and the donation of all of the proceeds from the Colonial Christmas’ Bake Sale. We also want to applaud Susan McCarthy’s generosity in donating the beautiful antique quilt for our raffle. In addition, the following local merchants were incredibly generous in donating some of their wares for our bazaar: Acorn Brook, Ben Venue Market, Blue Ridge Cafe, Brookside Gifts, Choose and Cut Tree Farm, Country Elegenee, Country Manor, Fussell Florist, Great Hickory Christmas Tree Farm, Hackley’s Store, Laurel Mills Store, Market Station, Mellen Orchards, Moose Wood Farm, Parkway, Pendleton Seafood, Settle’s Grocery, Sperryville Farm, Sperryville Emporium, Nan Thomasson, and Viewtown Market. These merchants blessed us with gifts, our parents and Board donated volunteer hours, and our staff coordinated all the energy into our most successful bazaar ever. 1 feel very fortunate to live in this community that has been so supportive of the Child Care and Learning Center. Your generosity and your support has enabled us to keep tuition down for all families, and to give scholarships to many many families over the last seventeen years. Bless you all! ROSE ANN SHARP Exec, Dir. CCLC Indecent Exposure To the Editor: Turning off Route 211 into my driveway at dark last week, I stopped in disbelief. Somebody had lit up the top of Jenkins Mountain. It looked like the Washington Capitals were having a home game. While disbelief turned into anger, I realized that one more “Neighbor” had moved in, sending his message loud and clear to the people of Rappahannock, “I am here, do you see me, I am ‘Lighthouse Number 33’ on the Mountaintops of Rappahannock County!” I have been watching this development for some time w'ith disgust. Wherever you look one of these “BIG-EGO” Monster-Houses stares at you from a mutilated Hill or Mountain; yelling again and again, “Do you see me, I insist that you look at me!” It hurts to observe such disrespect for nature and the people who live here. It makes me angry, because our elected, appointed and paid officials (Tax-money) who should protect is from such nonsense don’t see or do not want to see what is going on. The most beautiful land of Rappahannock is being butchered without any mercy and nobody seems to do anything about it. Please, do not tell me you cannot stop it because there ite nothing in the ordinance. If it is not there, then for Rappahannocks’ sake, put it in fast before everything goes to hell and my Airline Pilot-Friends use Rappahannock in their night-approach to Dulles International as an orientation-point, because it is lit up like a Christmas tree. I have not forgetten the words, Ann Lane said in a public hearing some time ago in opposition to the band of asphalt between “Little Washington” and Sperryville: “I have travelled all over the world and seen the most beautiful places. I must tell you Rappahannock County is right up there with the best!” She left us a legacy. We should respect it. ULIMAEYER Sperryville Lofton Responds To the Editor: I blew it. I wrote an article for the Rappahannock News in which I put my conclusions at the end (“Is Growth a Threat?” Nov. 10). I should have realized that those par- • agraphs might get chopped in the . squeeze for newspaper space. In addition to the well-planned villages, I suggested a broad belt of agriculture around each village. I said that Rappahannock can’t shut people out, but it can develop extremely creative ways to preserve its beauty. I’d love to see Rappahannock be a national pathfinder in this, expecially in the face of the threat posed by Disney. To Nancy Forsyth McBride, who responded to my article in a letter published Dec. 1, I didn’t say the desire to limit growth was hypocrisy. I said it’s hypocritical for newcomers to blame other newcomers for Rappahannock’s growth. We newcomers can also be part of the solution-I think you are, and I hope I am too. BONNIE PRICE LOFTON Vienna The time machine From the Rappahannock News back when: 30 YEARS AGO Dec. 5, 1963 The first blasts of winter swept into Rappahannock and surrounding area Friday* Nov. 29 with rain, snow and howling winds which left a path of destruction in its wake.

High School Teams Successful By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The RCHS boys’ basketball teams have two scrimmages behind them, and are ready to begin their regular season games. The first game will be played at Brentsville Friday, and the first home game will be against Central Tuesday. Junior varsity games begin at 6 p.m., followed by the varsity at approximately 7:30 p. m. The varsity won one of their scrimmages, and the junior varsity won both. In the JV scrimmage games Coach Gary Leake said, “Everyone played. The purpose of the junior varsity level is that it gives the guys as much playing time and practice as possible.” The junior varsity is plagued with injuries already this season. “We have a 14-man squad with 11 healthy bodies, and won the first scrimmage without having a full line-up. We were still able to do it all,” said Coach Leake. “This is probably one of the best junior varsity teams that I can remember," he added. “I will be really excited to see how they do in the district. I think they have a good chance to finish in the top three this year,” he added. Coach Leake believes that his varsity players were a little intimidated and nervous in their first scrimmage game against Sherando, a new school near Winchester, but they only lost by eight points. “Our strength was our balanced scoring attack," said Leake. The varsity starting line-up consisted of guards Ray Atkins and Andre Fletcher, forwards Jonathan Fletcher and Jason Settle, and center Derek Daczewitz. Missing from last year’s starting line-up is J.C. Welch. “J.C. tore a ligament in his ankle during the first hour of the first day of tryouts this year.” said Coach Leake. There are seven varsity players scoring in the double digits. “Our offensive play has really changed this year. We are a more of an outside shooting team and feature the three point line. Jason Brown gives us that little spark off the bench that is a knockout punch to an opponent,” said Coach Leake.

RAPPAHANNOCK FARMERS CO-OP ■ Sperry vi I le, Va 703-987-8555 “Paul Brown has improved tremendously too. He has not committed a turnover in scrimmage. Jeff Holder was promoted from J. V. this year. He is our defensive specialist off the bench. He is a smart player who anticipates well,” he said. Jason Settle has been scoring double digits for points and rebounding this season. The leading scorer so far is Andre Fletcher, who averaged 30 points in the two scrimmages. “He has the ability to be in the right place at the right time,” said Leake. “Jonathan Fletcher looked good in the first two scrimmages. He and Andre gave us good court balance. He is a strong physical post player,” Coach Leake said. Ray Atkins is adjusting to a position change this year as a point guard. “He has done extremely well so far and is one of the top three hustling players in the district. He will sacrifice anything to save a loose ball,” he added. At 6’5”, Derek Daczewitz is the tallest player on the team. Coach Leake said, “He pushes himself for maximum performance. He will become an excellent center if he continues to work as hard as he has so far.” Derek scored double digits in both scrimmages. « Volleyball it was a long and arduous battle, but the RCHS varsity volleyball team eked out their first win of the regular season against Clarke County Monday night. “The best thing they did was play under pressure. They hung in there,” said Coach Paul Paratore. “They work really hard in practice and I’m proud of them,” he added. “We have the potential to be a very, very good team, but we have to keep working on it,” said Paratore. Rappahannock scored 18 to Clarke’s 16 in the first game, 10 to 15 in the second game, then 15 to 13 in the final game.

The junior varsity volleyball team was not as successful as the varsity, but put up a good fight after the first game, which they lost 0-15. They won the second game 15 to 9, then fell to Clarke in the third game, 12 to 15. “The improvement from the scrimmage against Warren County is very encouraging,” said Coach Emily Wingate. “I think they were scared in the first game, but I think they will turn out to be a good team,” she added. The volleyball teams will play at Brentsville Wednesday, at Strasburg Monday and return home against Stonewall Jackson next Wednesday. Junior varsity games begin at 7 p.m. followed by the varsity games. Wednesday, December 8, 1993 MO WSA Members Continue Work On Sewer Plant By CINDY MAHAN Rapppahannock New* SUIT Writer The sewage plant had a new flow meter installed, at a total cost of $1400. Member Charles K. “Pete” Estes took care of ordering it and having it installed. “It includes a radar gun to check the flow,” he said. Richard Smith handed out copies of information about Tier designations to all members of the Water and Sewer Authority at their meeting Thursday night. He will be attending a workshop in Harrisonburg about tier designations before the next meeting, and will report on it then. Mr. Smith contacted two more companies to bid on the development of plans and specificiations for a needed redesign at the plant to handle septage from tanks in the system. Culpeper Engineering bid $2,200 for the design. ENSAT, also from Culpeper, bid $1,580 for the design. Their bid of $4,280 would include construction, and an optional pump would cost $2,200. Last month the WSA considered a bid of $4,882 from ESS for the design work. Representatives of both companies visited the site. Mr. Estes said, “I think we will have to talk to engineers in person before we hire a company.” Chairman Gene Leggett replied, “If you have time, you should talk with both of them.” “I was hoping we could execute this plan on our own and have Troy do it," Mr. Estes said, referring to Troy Jenkins who does most of the maintenance work at the plant. Mr. Leggett asked Mr. Estes to meet with both engineering companies to discuss all possibilities. Mr. Smith will join in this. Mr. Estes reported that plant manager Donna Chabot spent the day at the plant during the heavy rainstorm on Nov. 27. Mr. Estes said, “If she had not cut off the blowers we would have had a washout. She is to be commended for this.” With the blowers off, all of the solids settled. Mr. Johnson reported that new seals have been ordered and some have been installed on individual tanks to keep out groundwater.

Bank Donates Books John R. Conry Jr., Chief Executive Officer of Rappahannock Na-' tional Bank, said the bank had, recently placed copies of a newly' written history book entitled Banking in Virginia in the Rappahannock County Public and Rappahannock County High School libraries. According to Mr. Conry, banking in the Commonwealth traces its roots back at least 200 years. “The state legislature chartered the first bank in Virginia on Nov. 23, 1792, and it was located in Alexandria. The interesting part is that one of its stockholders was George Washington." he said. Mr. Conry explained that other banks followed, but all were closed during the Civil War. “Many banks were quick to reopen after the war,” he said, “because bank owners and officers and frequently hidden the bank's assets before the bank closed.” Today, there are 108 banks in Virginia with total assets of more than $<> billion. Rappahannock National Bank was founded in 1902 by six local residents and remains independent and locally owned to this day. "We hope many people will look through Banking in Virginia and even check it out of the library,” Mr. Conry said.

RCES Addition Construction To Start in Late Winter By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer VMDO Architects of Charlottesville are in the process of drawing up specifications for bidding on the addition to the elementary school. Assistant Superintendent Robert Chappell said the school system hopes that they will be ready to go out to bids by late this month, with bids coming back in late January. If ’ the School Board can award a contract by early February, construction should start by the end of February or early March, he said. Construction would then be expected to continue through the rest of the school year and through the summer. Mr. Chappell said the board has agreed that it will not be possible to move into the addition by the start of school next year. He said the administration is hoping to move during the Thanksgiving vacation next year. If that is not possible, then they hope to make the move during the Christmas break. Much will not be known until bids are received. The board hopes to have a hard surface on the delivery area in back of the building, but that will depend on the cost of the overall project. Also the board hopes to have additional parking added in front, but that will also depend on cost. Superintendent David Gangel told the Board of Supervisors Monday that it will not be possible to serve the elementary school with a septic system and drainfield. He said the school system is now looking into “package" sewage treatment plants. The addition will house the kin dergarten, first and second grade classrooms, freeing up space in the rest of the school for the third through seventh grades, special education and remedial classes. Assistant Principal Kaye Tupper will have an office in the new addition, providing space for guidance in the main office.

Some of the tours and outside activities were cancelled due to rain Saturday and rain and wind Sunday, but indoor activities were even more successful as a result. The Child Care and Learning Center had a good crowd for the bazaar and pictures with Santa Satur aay. name tickets tor the antique quilt and dinner for two at The Inn seemed to be selling well. Photographer Crystal Porter was'kept busy snapping photos of children visiting with Santa. The Christmas Mart at the First Baptist Chruch parish hall attracted good crowds for a first-time activity in a part of town visitors seldom see. The quality of goods offered at the market was amazing. The Lion’s Club Santa with free pictures was hard to find under a tent behind the fire department food stand, and as a result he didn’t do a heavy business, but he promises to be back at the Flint Hill Public House for the next two weekends. The dinner at the Fire Hall Saturday night attracted a large and very appreciative crowd. The hall and approach were gaily decorated, and the department members in red coats won universal approval. All of Ki Theatre’s productions of nativity plays Saturday and Sunday were performed before packed houses. The final performance of “The Shepherds’ Play” Sunday evening attracted a standing room only crowd.

There are two tracks—God’s track and ours. The question is how we might join them into one track without bumps and jolts as we travel through our lives. The answer may be easily, understood. God has a plan for our lives...a destination. We also have plans and goals which yve desire to realize. As we worship God each Sabbath and discover His will for our lives, He will give us direction, that Anally the two tracks might converge smoothly into one. Get on track...God’s track.

Tribute* 57 (In Memory of Sarah “Lizzie" Baldwin who died 30 November 1959) Autumn's hues have all turned brown and wrestling with their destiny, go sailing toward the ground. Hints of winter being whispered all around, While thoughts of you grow more profound. I'm reluciant to call on you for there's nothing to see but a cold engraved stone, But closing my eyes I can envision you once more at home. I know your body’s resting, ah asleep., but your spirit is quickened and in God's keep. And as I set a floral tribute at your marker, tears are warm upon my lashes. Then reality rears its ugly self, and tries me, then dashes. Discerning the difference, I don't dwell there too long. It isn’t that it is a sin of that I think it’s wrong. For I know she’d have me not do that, in order to carry on. But for the soul and for the spirit there is a time to remember, Whether it be in July or bleak November. Our lives touched, her's and mine, but her s had to end. Mine, why, I must continue until then.. So after thirty-four years your memory has sustained me, and has been there when I needed someone. To your life and to your memory, grandma, well done!
