Rappahannock News, January 18, 1973

District 9 organized THE counties of Fauquier, Rappahannock and Orange and the Town of Warrentoh moved Tuesday night to form the Ninth Regional Planning District. Rejecting the plan were Madison and Culpeper counties and the Town of Culpeper. Officials from each of the areas were present for the meeting in Culpeper. Madison County took a “wait and see” position. Madison Board Chairman Willie Carpenter said he was there to find out more about the planning district so he could report back to the Board, which is composed of two other members. The town and county of Culpeper made no decision when a review of governments ratifying the planning district was made. RAPPAHAN NOCK County’s Board of Supervisors approved joining the planning district at its January meeting on the 4th, after previously adopting the charter in the late 70’s. Rappahannock was represented by Board Chairman J. Newbill Miller at the meeting Tuesday night. According to Stanley S. Kid well, associate director of the State Division of Planning, this region will qualify for a minimum of $10,000 for aid in establishing and staffing the planning district. The new commission a• greed to meet again on February 22 at 7:30 p.m. in the Culpeper Municipal Building. □ Runners treated MEMBERS OF RAPPAHANNOCK’S State Champion Cross Country Team receivecha reward from their coach John Toth for their fine efforts of the past season. Four of the young men, Morris Donaldson, Bill Taylor, Tom Taylor and Charles Thomas, accompanied by Coach Toth, attended -the Sixth Annual Invitational Indoor Track Meet Friday at the University of Maryland. They had the opportunity to watch and meet top track jjttd field men from all over the U. S. including Olympic medalists and national stars Jiike Mel Pender, Martin Liquori and Dr. Frank Merriweather. □ Steve Leake makes a valiant effort to prevent a Page forward from sinking one. The effort paid off though the Panthers bowed to them. ^ Photo by Charles Swaim Panthers t^ste sweet revenge THE Panther varsity got sweet revenge on William Monroe High School Friday night, with a 54-50 win. The W. M. Dragons had surprised the Panthers in a slowed-down game, winning 16-15, when the two teams met previously. » This time, the Panthers came through behind good performances by Harry Jordan, high scorer with 21 points, and senior guard Bobby Smoot, with a season high of 19. Frye had 8, Leake 2 and Russelll 4. Jordan and Smoot combined for several full court passes and layups and Smoot got nine points at the foul line. The score was tied 50-50 in the last minute when Jordan drove the length of the lane and banked one in to make it 52-50. THE defense held and Bobby Smoot held on to the ball until the buzzer when he was fouled. He iced the cake with two foul shots and the Rappahannock team had their third victory of the season. The JV team didn’t fare so well losing 25-11. They were very cold shooting and didn’t start scoring well until the last quarter when it was too late. The next game is January 19 against the Madison Mountaineers on the Rappahannock court. □ Neighbors worry about airstrip FOUR CASTLETON LANDOWNERS, who had joined in constructing an air strip on their property, planned to form an Air Rescue Society. They made application to the Rappahannock County Board of Zoning Appeals for a special use permit, which created concern among neighbors. A meeting of adjoining land owners and interested parties was held Saturday afternoon prior to a hearing yesterday at the Zoning Appeals Board meeting. At .V, ■ ■yr this time opposition was voiced primarily over the possibility of the air strip becoming commercial and expanding facilities beyond a private venture. Complete results of yesterday’s zoning meeting - were not available. However, a two-year permit was issued with stipulations on expansion set forth. The owners of the strip are Wiley Barrington, Henry Ozarko* Mrs. John Bishop and P.K. Platt. □

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-9949 For sale ? WITHOUT BELABORING the point, there’s a final word or two to be said about the question of Rappahannock joining the regional planning districts. One oF the most compelling arguments made for joining the district was that unless we do, we won’t be eligible for federal grants. Indeed, the state government has made this one of the leading arguments for pressing planning districts all over Virginia: Sign up or lose out on Uncle Sam’s dollars. Have we really come to the point where everything, even local government, has a price tag? Is everything the length and breadth of the land, nailed down or loose, really for sale? Seems so. TAKE THE MATTER of “revenue-sharing.” Reporters for the Rappahannock News and the Piedmont Virginian cover quite a lot of local governments — five Boards of Supervisors, and more than that number of municipalities — and we haven’t noticed one yet that really knows what to do with its “share.” Imagine! Money flowing magically from Washington and nobody knows what to do with it. In some instances, it has even been stated that it’s not needed. %Have we really reached the point where everyone is so numb from paying taxes that they don’t even care how those tax-funds are spent? Just spread it around, and who cares? WELL, FOR ONE THING, we feel sure that more and more strings will start becoming apparent on all that lovely, “free” money from Uncle Sam. And we wouldn’t be surprised that a. lot of those lovely “regional grants,” which governments have been encouraged to get in line for, have already been used up in “sharing” money. The next step, as a letter-to-the-editor suggests, will probably be for us to start paying regional taxes on top of town, county, state and federal taxes. □ Adult Education classes are listed £ 9 THE ADULT EDUCATION PROGRAM this year offers classes in wood carving, chair caning, art, furniture refinishing, small engine repair, welding, upholstering, typing and knitting. Classes will be held each Thursday night at the high school from 7 to 9 p.m. Persons interested in any of these classes may enroll when the school convenes tonight, Thursday, January 18. All classes are still open and entries will be accepted through the next meeting January 25. The school faculty includes Mrs. Dot Estes, wood carving; Mrs. Ruth Kilby, chair caning; Mrs. Sharon Donahey, in the art department; Pat Biggs, furniture refinishing; Richard Helmer, small engine workshop; instructing in welding is Sonnie Porter; Mrs. Pat Helmer, typing; while Hubert Gilkey instructs in upholstering and Mrs. Mary Cleverley holds the knitting classes. A fee of $5 is required for enrollment and the cost of materials used must ue paid. The classes ‘ extend through March 22. □ Barns Mrs. S. W. Riley correctly identified the barn last week as that on the estate property of the late Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Latham at Amissville. Her name was drawn from the entries which included George Kidwell Jr. and Gilbert Dennis. Try this familiar one. Letter to the Editor ‘Region' distrusted Editor: I thoroughly agree with your editorial, “Timely suspicion,” in the January 11th edition of your excellent newspaper. It seems to me that in matters such as joining a regional planning district or the creation of any new government bureaucracy, the board should “make haste slowly.” Parkinson’s law expounds the theory that in government bureaucracies the number of employees has no relation to the work to be done. They grow like topsy. As a former member of the board of directors of several quasi-governmenta 1 bodies in the Washington metropolitan area, I had the opportunity to observe Parkinson’s law at work, and it “ain’t” in the best interests of the taxpayer. In your coverage of the Board of Supervisors’ meeting at which the decision to join the planning district was made, one would gather by the statements made by some members that this was a minor decision. It was probably the most far - reaching decision the Board will make for some time to come. I assume the members of the Board have researched the following, and if they haven’t, they certainly should: 1. Before signing to be a member, the Board shpuld know what the formula is for determining representation and the yearly contribution to the planning board. It is based on population, appraised value of . real property in the county, mean income or residents, ability to pay, or a combination of these, or other considerations? II. Will the towns of Warrenton and Culpeper have the same representation as Rappahannock County? HI. If it costs $1,100 for the county’s share the first year, what will it cost in the following years, when they hire an administrator, professional planners, consultants, department heads, and staff for each department (and there will be many), not to mention office space and equipment, travel and convention expenses for these bureaucrats, and the high cost of many studies that in many cases are substitutes for action. I am not condemning planning bodies per se; they are necessary. I know that communication between adjoining political subdivisions is most desirable, however, informal planning discussions between these governing bodies would have suffered until such time as the board members could familiarize themselves of the many ramifications of these planning districts, more especially the service districts which absolutely erode the local . government’s right of selfdetermination. The board is certainly aware of the Hahn report and that the service district follows the planning district. The service district is a regional government between the state and the local government with taxing powers over the jurisdictions represented on the planning district to finance their bureaucracy. We don’t need this sword of Damocles over our heads. As for the state and federal grants I question if we can afford them. The state has learned from the feds to use the carrot and stick approach on these grants to gain more control! over local government. The more of these so called give away programs we receive, the more control the state and federal governments have over our local government. - I once read that a federal judge had ruled in an urban renewal dispute between the federal government and a city that the government had contributed more than 50 percent of the total cost of the project and therefore would have the final say on all matters concerning this project. Apply this decision to our school system, and it would > mean that whenever the state or federal government contributed over fifty percent of the cost of local education that they could determine the curriculum, and thereby control the minds of the children. What would we have left? Let it be clearly understood that I am in no way condemning the board' members for their action in joining the planning district. I am confident they are honest and dedicated people. My letter is just a request that they be ever mindful of the Latin phrase, “caveat emptor” (let the buyer beware).

F 0 X Letter to the editor Supervisors’ decision criticized t Editor: Concerning the Board of Supervisors’ decision to make Rappahannock County a member of Virginia Planning District 9, Mr. H. B. Wood was the only member that acted with any responsibility. It is inconceivable to me that a group of people in authority could act with such complete imbecility. How could sane people pay out money that is not even their own to join something that they know nothing about? This is a hasty and unwise decision. We are burdened with too much government now; wedon’tneed more. We need less. To pay your money to others so that they can decide where it’s most beneficial to spend it does not make sense. It seems to me that my money should be spent where I pay it in — . right here in this county. If the Board of Supervisors doesn’t have enough sense to know where their meager funds should go, then I think we need a new Board. It’s as ridiculous as Revenue-Sharing. Where do people think their money comes from in the first place? It comes from their pockets. Paying money to the Federal Government so that such money can provide innumerable jobs for petty bureaucrats to decide where it goes, and eventually trickling a lit Three accidents reported Three minor traffic incidents occurred in the past few days. One involved a single vehicle and the other was a collision of two. Saturday, on Route 211 west of Sperryville about 6:15 p.m., James Clayton Jenkins in a 1971 Chevrolet skidded on gravel as he attempted to enter the lane at the Sperry ville fire house and struck a tree. According to Trooper W. A. Buntin, Jenkins said another vehicle was very close behind him as he made the turn quickly. Damage to the car was set at $700 to $800. Monday, Beverley Reid in a 1970 Ford attempted to pass a 1963 Ford pickup operated by Harry Settle on Route 622 south of Washington and the two vehicles struck each other. Both drivers are from Castle ton. Trooper R. A. Baines investigated the collision. January 16 on Route 522 south of Flint Hill Eunice Marie Butler of Sperryville in a 1962 Ford topped a hillcrest and observed a school bus stopped. She braked quickly and the vehicle went into a skid, crossed to the left of the road and hit a tree. Trooper S. W. Weatherholtz investigated the crash. □ CHESTER GAP NEWS *»■■««»■■ Mrs. Nora Sealock returned home Friday after a five-day stay in Warren Memorial Hospital in Front Royal.

Why not save everyone some money and not remove it from it’s origin to begin with, but rather let the counties and state collect it aoed use it. I see this banding together of the counties as the same thing. Eventually we will not only be paying Federal, State and County taxes, but also a Virginia Planning Board tax. More taxes to provide more paperwork, red tape and bureaucrats. To conclude, I don’t think we should pay others to do our thinking for us, for in the end you may not have to pay them to do it — they may very well impose their will on you at no charge whatsoever. The Board of Supervis "ors should find out how the people of the County want their money spent before they commit the county* s revenue to such folly.

Hughes retires at 90 Dr. John M. (Mort) Hughes of Richmond retired from his dental practice December 31 after a career which spanned 64 years. He is 90 years old and had maintained a steady pace until his retirement. Dr. Hughes was a native of Rappahannock County and was reared in the Laurel Mills and Amissville areas. He was graduated in 1908 from the University College of Medicine in Richmond, now the Medical College of Virginia and joined the school faculty. He received an honorary Doctor of Law degree from MCV in 1965. He became secretary of the State Board of Dental Examiners and held the position until seven years ago; was president of the State Dental Association in 1951, and of the American Association of Dental Examiners in 1952. Dr. Hughes said he recalled the days of rubber dentures and says that the greatest advance in dentistry over the years was the development and use of anesthesia. He has been a top horseman and avid foxhunter all of his life though he stopped riding when he was in his 80’s. From 1934 to 45 he was Master of Foxhounds of the Deep Run Hunt Club and again from 1948-50.

Report on the Legislature By D. FRENCH SLAUGHTER Delegate THE General Assembly opened its first annual regular session on Wednesday, January 10. By law, the session will last for 30 days, but the legislature may extend the session to as long as 60 days. Due to the volume of legislation, there appears to be a good possibility that the legislature will be in session for 45 days although many members are hopeful of completing the session before that time. Governor Holton addressed the General Assembly on the first day of the session and made a number of recommendations. Most of these were concerned with the appropriation of the state surplus from last year and the revenue sharing grant from the Federal government.

Wayland Tractors Equipment FORD TRACTOR SALES 29-211 BY PASS Worranton Approximately 30 million dollars was recommended by the Governor to provide funds to the localities for public education in line with the standards of quality that the legislature has adopted as an immediate goal for all public school systems. I am in favor of appropriations of approximately this amount, but the Governor has recommended changes in the formula for the distribution of state school funds to the localities which will have to be scrutinized closely by the legislature. THE Governor also adopted the recommendations of the legislative committee for salary increases for most state employes in line with making such salaries competitive with similar positions in private business and industry and I support these objectives. I also support the proposals for approximately 14 million dollars for mental health and hospital programs and approxpital programs and approximately six million dollars for the building of a new penitentiary in Mecklenberg County to replace ARTS AND CRAFTS i The Arts and Crafts group will meet Tuesday, January 23 at Cab Inn, Sperryville at 10 a.m. The project to be pursued is a cathedral window quilt. Those attending are asked to bring cotton scraps of small designs for quilt pieces. CHURCH SERVICES Services will be held at Washington Baptist Church Sunday, January 21 at 11 a. m. conducted by Dr. Gary Gruber of Alexandria. □ Office hours set LOCAL Board 102, Washington, Va. will be closed the afternoon of Thursday, January 18. The regular schedule of this board is: Open two days only: Mondays, Thursdays, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Persons reaching the age of 18 may register 30 days before the eighteenth birthday through 30 days after the eighteenth birthday. These 18-year-olds may register anywhere convenient to them — at any local board office. When giving the information at time of registration, the home address is recorded and the Registration Card is forwarded to the Local Board office which has jurisdiction over the homejtgdaqss. the present penitentiary in Richmond which is obsolete. The Governor did not propose any tax increases and none are expected in this session. With a surplus in hand, there is certainly no need for increased state taxes at this time. I believe the needs of mental health, education and the penal institutions do justify the appropriations from the state surplus and revenue sharing grant. I AM opposed to the suggestion by the Governor that approximately 5 million dollars be appropriated for additional welfare expenditures. The welfare program should certainly have sufficient funds to provide for those people who need and deserve public assistance and this will require substantial funds from year to year. However, costs of the welfare program have been increasing at a very rapid rate in recent years and many questions have been raised at the local, state and national level about the regulations as to eligibility for welfare assistance and the proper expenditure of funds. By a resolution introduced by several other members of the General Assembly and me in the 1972 session, a legislative committee of the Virginia Advisory Legislative Council is studying and reviewing the whole welfare program and I hope that this will be a beginning towards welfare reform. Next week I will report on other legislation that will be before the 1973 General Assembly. n Payne-O’Keefe engagement Mr. and Mrs. R.

Shade.Jr. and RAPP CHATS 2±lts? COW DEATH loss due to grass tetany has already started showing up. There are several reasons to make us think this problem could be more severe this year. 1. Earlier and higher incidences of tetany already reported. 2. Later than normal grazing of blue and orchard grass pastures that have lost much of their nutrients. 3. Average lower quality of hay made this summer. Source of most of the following background information and recommendations were a recent telephone conversation with Dr. John Gerkin, V.P.I. Extension Animal Science Specialist. As a county agent in Clarke County in the early 1960’s, John was instrumental in the discovery and cause of grass tetany. He has since done intensive laboratory research on the subject and is probably one of the most knowledgeable men in the state on the tetany problem. Winer and early spring is the season when grass tetany usually occurs. The only difference between “winter” tetany and grass tetany is the time of year it occurs. Both are caused by a lower than normal or an inbalance of magnesium in the cow’s blood. GRASS TETANY usually strikes cows in the first month or two after calving. However, death losses have been reported in cows in the later stage of pregnancy. - Older cows seem to be more susceptible than first calf heifers. Low levels of magnesium in winter feed and early pasture grass plus relatively high requirements for milk production for the calf seem to be the factor most responsible for bringing on tetany. Characteristic 'symptoms are undue excitement, incoordination, loss of appetite, viciousness, staggering and faUing, twitching, labored heart beat; followed by coma, convulsions and death. The onset of the disturbance is rapid and losses are high so that prevention is most important. Unlike Vitamin A, magnesium is not stored for long periods of time in the cow’s body. Excess amounts are flushed out of the cow’s system through normal excretion. Therefore, regularity of intake by the cow is more important than excessive amounts. FOR PREVENTION Of grass tetany feed 1/2 ounce magnesium oxide daily during the critical tetany season. Feed as the only source of salt a mixture of 1/2 magnesium oxide and 1/2 salt. Put this mixture out several times a week so that it doesn’t become hard or “set-up.” If cattle do not eat enough of the above mixture, try mixing 1/3 magensium oxide, 1/3 salt and 1/3 steamed bone meal. If you have an emergency tetany problem call your veterinarian. He can save a high percentage of your cows, if called in time. Follow through with a mixture of 1/3 magnesium oxide, T/3 salt and 1/3 diied molasses; or spread magnesium oxide at the rate of 1 to 2 ounces per 1 head -over corn silage until tetany danger is past. □ son Kenneth of Falls Church and Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Keyser of Winchester were guests Sunday of Mrs. Ruby Dwyer and family.
