w - 7 Dog fee retained Proposed increase is voted down AN ANTICIPATED big showdown over Rappahannock’s temporarily bankrupt dog fund didn’t work out that way at last Thursday’s monthly meeting of the Board of Supervisors. The big crowd that had been predicted failed to materialize (it might have been because of the heavy rains, which could be heard on the Court House’s tin roof throughout the meeting); what oratory there was was restrained; everybody finally agreed to think about the problem and consider it again next summer, at the start of a new fiscal year. Chairman Newbill Miller admitted later that “when I walked out of the meeting last month, I fully intended to vote fbr doubling the fees.” But in the interim, “I can’t think of a time when I had more phone calls, and all have been negative as far as raising the dog tax is concerned,” Miller said at last Thursday’s hearing. So Rappahannock’s dog fees will remain at $1 for males, $1 for unsexed females, and $3 for females, and kennel charges of $15 for up to 20 dogs, $25 for up to 50. The former charge of $10 for German Shepherd females is illegal, the Board has been told by Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis. SOME DOZEN persons were present when the hearing on a proposal to double the dog fees opened, but only one spoke. Bill Keim of Amissville commended the Supervisors for their “frugality and conservatism,” but had some questions * about the (Turn to page 15) New stove for the jail “WE’VE GOT TO HAVE a stove at the jail,” Sheriff John Walker Jenkins informed the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors at their October meeting last Thursday. “The one we’ve got pops and carries on and puts out little heat.” “Oh my goodness!” exclaimed Supervisor Herbert Foster, who has earned a reputation as the Board’s chief guardian of the pursestrings. “Money, money, money!” “The stove’s no count, and it really doesn’t even belong to the county,” Sheriff Jenkins insisted. “The County borrowed it 12 to 15 years ago to finish out a winter, and it was never taken back.” Jenkins thought a new one could be acquired from the Co-op for around $240, “Cheap.” Chairman Newbill Miller asked: “Mr. Foster, will you make a motion?” “The jets and things, can’t you...?” Foster began, and then Mrs. Betty Coates went ahead and made a motion to approve the purchase of a new stove; her motion was seconded by H. B. Wood Jr. The appro* ving vote was unanimous. □ The frost is on the pumpkins and the fodder’s in the shock is very appropriate just now with the nippy mornings this week. Also appropriate is the fodder shock which Burnam Atkins has set up on his property on Fodderstack Road near Washington. He has gathered his pumpkins and the combination is eye catching to motorists on that road. Supervisors grapple with variety of problems A POSSIBLE solution to Rappahannock’s approaching solid waste disposal deadline was kicked around at last Thursday’s meeting of the Board of Supervisors. Chairman Newbill Miller read a letter from state officials offering to help Rappahannock in its search for a sanitary landfill site, to meet an impending state legal deadline on all counties to acquire such solid waste disposal methods, and invited a discussion of the possibilities. Miller said he had talked to authorities in Warren County, who are working with Front Royal on the possibility of a joint land- v fill operation. “They said they would be interested in Rappahannock going in with them,” Miller said. Mrs. Betty Coates, however, reported that Madison County was not so interested. As a matter of fact, a formal letter from Madison’s board to this effect was read into the record later in the meet“ifig: “This thing is'going to be '.extremely expensive, and if there’s some other way of doing it, I think we ought to try to work it out,” said Miller. CLERK E. M. Jones said he’d received an indication from the superintendent of Shenandoah National Park that the park might also be interested in some sort of joint operation. “Maybe we could carry it up there and let the bears eat it,” grinned H.B. Wood Jr. Subsequent discussion brought out that the park has to handle some 800 tons of refuse a year, and suitable park areas for disposing of this volume are becoming scarce. “If we have to open our own dump, it might not be a bad idea to work out (Turn to page 3),

SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Warning examples SOME OF OUR NEIGHBORS in Fauquier County are all worked up over a problem that hasn’t really reached crisis proportions in Rappahannock. And in going through the agony of trying the resolve way of relieving land tax pressures on farmers, Fauquier countians seem headed for enactment of a land use tax relief measure that has already been approved in Loudoun and Prince William. According to one Rappahannock official, there hasn’t been a great deal of interest expressed here in Virginia’s land use tax legislation, simply because “the problem hasn’t really hit us yet.” Let’s hope it doesn’t. The problem that has Fauquier in such throes is constantly rising land taxes and the squeeze this puts on farmers and other large landowners. A tremendous amount of residential construction, and the deficit tax situation this creates where schools and other services are concerned, has brought many farmers to the point of having to decide whether to go broke or sell out. It isn’t much of a choice, and taxing land on the basis of its use rather than its potential — which is what “fair market value” amounts to — may give such farmers a better chance of continuing to earn a living by working on the land. ' BUT WHILE RAPPAHANNOCK has been spared the agonies of Prince William, Loudoun and now Fauquier, we should not think that this fortunate condition will necessarily go on forever — or automatically, either. The powerline threats, the “secondhome” schemes, the increasing number of inquiries by wouldby subdividers are evidence that without constant vigilance, the Rappahannock we all love could be transformed into something we might no longer recognize, and which we might not be able to afford. □ LIBRARY LINES ANNOUNCEMENT: There will be a meeting of the Library Boards of Trustees and Directors at the Library on November 1st at 8 p.m. Members, please mark this date on your calendars and plan to be present. Saint Francis by Nikos Kazantazkis recreates the story of Francis of Assisi in an historical novel of medieval Italy. In it Kazantzakis “has tried to show Saint Francis as a person, tempted by the life that is offered to him and the comforts of his home, but driven by his own restless spirit to rise above the level of his fellow men and to assert his belief in goodness and submission. Kazantzakis’ Francis is not the calm and Undisturbed saint of legend, preaching to the animals. He is a man, tempted, weary, but searching for spiritual peace in a world of evil and war.” □ Barns The barn pictured last week was that on Sunny Slope Farm, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Brue Wood on Route 522 near Flint Hill. Mrs. Roland Welch will receive a free subscription to the Rappahannock News for a year for her correct entry in the contest.

The SC A will receive a percentage of the sales which will be used for school activities during the year. Any suggested school needs for which the funds can be used may be voiced by the student body to class representatives and decisions will be made by the SC A council. The high salesman is Cheryl Poling who brought in $186.24 alone. The Ju niors were high class with Cheryl’s help and received $15 to add to the treasury. The Seniors received only 2 cents for being the lowest performing class. Since we missed school Friday because of the rain, the magazine campaign was extended from Monday until Wednesday as the final day. The Cross Country Ruriners made a great showing Tuesday when they met Warren County in Rappahannock. The Panthers lost by one point.

F 0 X Varied agenda keeps Board busy (From page 1) something with the park,” said Miller. And he warned: “They’ll get a condemnation procedure if they can’t find some agreement^&Qmewhere.” Tabled for one month was a proposal to adopt for Rappahannock the National Electrical Code. TALK ABOUT the code — from Board members and Charles Gasch, an electrical contractors —was generally favorable, but several questions were raised and it was felt postponing action until the next meeting would be the best course. Newbill Miller said an electrical contractor for the County of Fairfax, who lives in Rappahannock, had offered to conduct inspections for the county and split the fees. A firm of insurance underwriters has also proposed doing the fees, with no dividing up with the county. Copies of the proposed, code will be made available to all interested persons, with action scheduled for the November meeting. A NOTICE from the State Water Control Board, setting a deadline of December 1976 for a sewage treatment plant at Sperryville, was received as .information. “That’s a real mess down there in Sperryville,” commented Mrs. Eileen Day from the audience. “We can’t get anything agreeable among the whose sewers would ^ that’s r^people be plugged up,” said Miller. “The people downstream are the ones who suffer from the pollution,” countered Mrs. Day. “It is not our responsibility,” Miller insisted, “unless we adopt a sewer ordinance. We’ve made any number of efforts to get an agreement. I think it’s a mistake on the part of the people of Sperryville, too. But it’s a responsibility of the State Water Control Board’s.” A letter of complaint about Route 619 was read, calling the road “narrow and rough and steep.” Highway Department efforts to scrape the road, said the letter from Roger Leestma of Laurel Mills, had only succeeded in “putting the beer cans and rocks in the middle of the road.” Resident Highway Engineer James Skeens promised to look info the situation, agreeing that Route 619 “is a bad old road.” A. Y. STOKES, admitting to “embarrassment” about having to reappear before the board, asked that $1,209.80 be appropriated as the county’s share for operation of Lord Fairfax Community College. “The college chairman has assured me that future allocations will be on a per-student basis, per county, rather than on the present population formula,” he told the board Stokes is Rappahannock’s representative on the Community College board. Miller recalled that the Pover in all sizes COME SEE THE DEUTZ A TRACTOR FOR EVERY SIZE FARM Horsepower range from 23 hp to 105 hp Parts and Service also Available CHARLES ErSUTPHIN, INC Washington, Va. Phone 675-3566 county’s original commitment toward the college had been for capital outlay only. Stokes said he understood that situation, but that the funds being requested were needed for buying learning aids and providing for a student assistance fund. Herbert Foster also mentioned the original capital outlay agreement. “That’s the way it was presented to us and all the counties,” agreed Miller. “This request is a foot in the door to ask us to help pay for running the school At the same time, Miller also thought “that the potential of the community college is so great I don’t think we should stand in the way, and that we should pay the $1,200 now.” Mrs. Betty Coates made a motto n to that effect. Vice chairman J. R. Latham was asked to preside momentarily so Miller could second the motion. All voted “aye,” with Foster grumbling about “this could get out of hand.” Said Miller: “It bothers me, too.” “I don’t mind the $1,200 now,” added Foster, “but it could get up to four or five in a few years.” MRS. ELIZABETH BUNTIN, superintendent of welfare, did not fare quite so well as Stokes. Accompanied by the Rev. William Hargett, she asked the Board to agree to participation in “the Chapter Ten Board for Community Health and Mental Retardation Services.” Mrs. Buntin described the benefits of regional membership, and thought it might help in dealing with alcoholism, which she described as “our primary mental health problem.” Graham film to be shown The latest Billy Graham film, “Lost Generation,” probing documentary which takes a close look at the attitudes and morals of the nation, will be shown Sunday, October 15, at the Amissville Baptist Church. There will be no admission charge for the 7:30 showing. The Rev. Joe Stirman, pastor of the church, extended a cordial invitation to the public. □ Through membership in the district, Rappahannock could buy the services it needs at such places as the Culpeper Clinic, Mrs. Buntin explained. Mr. Hargett emphasized that the District Committee was merely advisory, and that the Supervisors would have to approve any expenditures. Appointment of three persons from Rappahannock was suggested. “Are any additional funds required?” asked Newbill Miller. “They won’t even talk about funds for at least another year,” said Mrs. Bun tin, going into an explanation of matching fund formulas, &c. Miller wasn’t convinced. “We’d be joining something not knowing how much it will cost.” “You don’t know what anything will cost in the future,” said Mrs. Buntin. MILLER WASN’T inclined to be so philosophic, agreeing with Mrs. Buntin that the whole thing seemed to be a good idea, “but I can’t see joining for two years without knowing what we were obligating ourselves to. I would want to limit it to the level of our current expenditure.” Mrs. Betty Coates added an expression of her concern about “the legal aspects of what the county would be required to pay.” After more discussion, Foster moved that the request be tabled for further study. “I’m all for mental health,” said Mrs. Coates, “but it seems to me there are too many questions involved.” Miller agreed, citing the case of counties “to the north that are sweating now trying to live with agreements — blank check agreements — they entered into years ago. Foster’s motion was seconded by J. R. Latham and the approving vote was unanimous. □ VILLAGE SHOP Main St. - Flint Hill Things in Wood Tues. Wed. Fri.

La Runners narrowly lose THE RAPPAHANNOCK County High School cross country team suffered its first defeat of the season at the hands of a fine Warren County squad on Tuesday, October 10. The score was a close 27-28 with Rappahannock taking the first two places by a large margin. Charles Thomas was clearly the class of the field again. His edge was 36 seconds over sophomore Bill Taylor who was in turn 35 seconds in front of highly touted Eric Frye. Frye led the Warren Wildcats to a run away victory over Culpeper earlier this year. The other official runners for Rappahannock finished as follows: Tom Taylor, 7th; John Summers, 8th; Ronnie Nicholson, 10th; BobbyTitchenell, 11th and Andy Nichols, 19th. Rappahannock also fielded an unofficial group of runners who were too young to be official varsity athletes. Young Jerry Thomas showed fine potential by finishing in the top 10. If he had been old enough to be official, he would have won the match for the Panthers, but there is always next year. In fact there is a next time this Saturday at RMA. Tuesday’s match was run over the new course at the local elementary school at a distance of 2.31 miles.

You were taken from US'* one sad fall day. For some reason God chose to take you this way. We all love and miss you. But God has blessed in a way. You left on this earth two wonderful children. When I look at them I see the best part of my husband. And when they look at each other They can see some their father. That is why you are loved in a very special way. And you live in our hearts everyday. I can only hope that your death will be a lesson That no man or woman will let fear and emotion take possession. This has caused so much misery and hurt That we will have to pray to God For this to be a lesson to all. i We love and miss you. Wife and children

Supervisors vote to retain dog fee (From page 1) dog fund. For one thing, -he wondered what percentage of the fund actually went to pay dog claims. Less than a third, was the answer; maybe as little as 20 per cent. “Then I recommend abolishing payment o f dog claims,” Keim said. “After all, you do this only because it is permissable under state law; it is not mandatory.” Keim also though* the dog warden could be put on a part-time basis, with the. county contact SPCA chapters in “towns like Manassas” for once-aweek pickup of strays. “And why not a $1 head tax on cats?” Keim added. “They’re detrimental to wildlife and a lot of them HILLSDALE DRIVE-IN Washington, Va.

I took care of it myself.” “It sounds to me like you’re advocating what Mr. Miller has referred to as a shotgun and shovel policy,” said George Davis. Keim sat down, and New - bill Miller asked: “Are there any more comments from the public?” Everybody waited, and all eyes turned to some eight or ten men in the back of the room, but no one else spoke. (“Some of those boys were some of the ones who got me on the phone,” Miller said later.) Finally, as no one else took up the invitation to speak, Chairman Miller summed up his position, HI VALUE TRUCKS 1967 FORD BRONCO 4 wheel drive, Lockout Hub, full top, 10,000 miles, clean. 1968 SCOUT 4-wheel drive with Full Top, Lockout and Front Mounted Snow Blade, 25,000 miles, clean. 1967 CHEVROLET 1/2 ton Pickup Truck, Low IVleage, Clean. 1964 IHC 1600 - 2 1/2 ton Cab and Chassis, 2-speed, V8 engine. 1965 IHC 3/4 Ton Pickup, Long Bed, 4-speed, 6 cylinder. 1967 IHC 3/4 Ton Pickup, Long Bed. 1964 JEEP 4-wheel drive Pickup. 1963 IHC I Ton Dual Wheel with Cattle Body, Clean. Gill & Graham Implement Co. Brandy Road Culpeper. Va Phone 825-8381 telling of the phone calls and “negative” reaction to the increased dog fee proposal. “ONE SUGGESTION that was made to me was that claims could be processed the same way insurance companies do, with an owner getting two disinterested persons to witness an alleged dog loss. “But mainly, people resentet^ raising a tax when they knew of dogs that were in the county that were not tagged. One man felt that revenues would increase 30 to 40 per cent if all the docs in the county were tagged. “So I’m going to oppose any increase.” Supervisor J. R. Latham said “the people who called me were in favor of keeping the warden to handle the problem.” “The way I see it,” said Supervisor Herbert Foster, “if we continue to charge a tax on dogs, and sheep are assessed at $20 apiece for taxes, then I think we’re liable to pay claims.” “If you have no dog tax fund you have no liability,” George Davis commented. “And another way to look at it is, the dog fund has brought in a lot of sheep assessments that you wouldn’t have gotten otherwise.” Clerk E. M. Jones noted that “there’s not much sheep in -the county any more.” Keim spoke up again from the audience: “But it’s the principle. My question is why do we do it?” “Can we charge a dog tax and not pay claims?” asked Latham. “I don’t think so,” said Foster. “That’s the purpose of it,” said H. B. Wood Jr. Foster wanted some more details on the procedure mentioned by Miller, about having a claim verified by two “disinterested persons.” MILLER EXPLAINED that the man had lost a cow to lightning, “andthats the way the insurance company wanted it verified.” “What if a man lost a $25,000 bull toadog. Would you pay for it?” asked Keim. “Only to the extent of funds available,” said New - bill Miller. Foster wrestled with the dilemma. “If you do away with the dog tags, then you’ll get more dogs, but . . .I’ve had so many calls. People don’t want the dog tax raised.” Mrs. Eileen Day, also speaking from the audience, ha|!K a question. “We have to have a dog warden, and you 5 have to pay his salary. If you don’t increase the dog fee how are you going to pay his salary? You’re going to have to either raise the tax or eliminate paying claims. But there has to be some policy for control ling wild dogs.” After further invitations to the public to speak, Miller announced that the hearing was closed. Then he turned to the Supervisors. “What is your pleasure?” “I MOVE WE don’t raise the tags,” said Herbert Foster. “I second it,” said Wood. “How are we going to meet the deficit we’ve got if we don’t raise it?” asked Supervisor Latham. “I thought we’d determined at the last meeting we’d have to increase it to meet the deficit we have,” said Supervisor Betty Coa tes. “We’ll start getting money from the tags soon, and that’ll carry us to the First of July,” said Wood. “And then we can re-evaluate the situation.” “I don’t believe all of Rappahannock County has got as many sheep as Fairfield Farm, over in Fauquier,” said Herbert Foster, during a brief lull in the conversation. “They’ve got 600 sheep.” The vote was called. Only Mrs. Coates and Latham voted “no.” The three others approved Foster’s motion to reject the increase. Contacted afterward, Newbill Miller said that while there are no funds available to pay Dog Warden Jack Bruce’s salary at this time, all back pay will be made up when dog fee payments start coming into the county. Payment of the fee can start as early as November 1. TO SORT OF CAP things off, Warden Bruce came in later in last Thursday’s meeting with a dog claim, for three ewes at $25 apiece, and one buck — at an assessment that had to be determined. “I saw them,” reported Bruce. “The first one had been dead several days when I got to the Eastham farm, and had sort of been pushed up in a barn. There was no question at all that dogs did it.” The other two were in the back of a pickup truck when the Dog Warden arrived, but he felt certain they, too, were victims of dogs. “They had been chewed on. and he took them to an old darkey to see if he could get ahy good out of it,” Bruce said. “Must have been an awful big dog,” said Foster. Mrs. Eastham saw the dog and had a gun, but failed to shoot until it was too late, said Bruce, “I’ve still been unable to find it.” CARD OF THANKS I wish to express my sincere thanks to my neighbors, friends and relatives for their cards, flowers, visits and other kindness shown me during my stay in * the hospital and since my return home. They are all greatly appreciated. “There’s a lot of police dogs around there,” said Herbert Foster. “This is a white dog. A big white dog,” said Bruce. Mrs. Eileen Day, who had been critical of Rappahannock’s old policy of charging a premium fee on German Shepherds (or police) dogs, smiled. □ NOW THROUGH TUESDAY Evenings at 7 and 9 p.m. Matinees Sat. & Sun at 2 p.m AN R'C QUALITY THEATRE IN FRONT ROYAL.
