Rappahannock News, February 15, 1973

PUBLIC hearings on the environmental impact of the proposed Vepco powerlines have been set for March 28 in Warrenton, and March 29 in Washington' Rappahannock County. A REQUEST that Fauquier’s Board of Supervisors allocate “up to $25, 000” for an expert planning engineer, “to counter the Vepco experts,” was “not acted upon” by the Board last Thursday. The Supervisors held an executive session to discuss “legal matters” in connection with the Vepco suit — involving projected new poweriine corridors — but it was announced following the session that “no action was taken.” Nothings was said about the details. But copies Bf a letter from L. Lee Bean, an Arlington attorney who was hired to work with Commonwealth’s Attorney John Alexander in opposing the Vepco proposals, were included in press information folders. CHAIRMAN James Austin thought that the .information should not have been released, but verified the $25,000 request, and the information that the Supervisors had, in effect, declined to assure the fund. No decision was made at all about hiring an expert, Austin added. Bean’s letter to Alexander follows: “John Kay (representing the Rappahannock Environmental League) and I met January -17 in Richmond with Richard Rogers, Commission’s Counsel, and Evans Brasfield and an associate, representing Vep$o. “We agreed on the following schedule which is to be incorporated in an order of the Commission, within the next two weeks, should , jthe Commission agree with our necessarily tentative arrangements: “(1) Public hearing at Fauquier County Courthouse on March 28, 1973 (2 p. m. until ?) after view of proposed routes of lines by the Commissioners in the a.m. “(2) Public hearing at Rappahannock County Courthouse on March 29, 1973 (2 p.m. until ?) after view of proposed roufe of line by the Commissioners in Students journey By JIMMY SWINDLER, Seventh Grade, RCES THE WEEKEND of February 10-11, the seventh grade of Rappahannock CoFox hunters to meet The Northern Virginia Fox Hunters will hold their quarterly meeting in the community room of the ' Second Bank Building, Culpeper, at 7:30 Friday evening, February 16.

We started off by getting out to the school by 7:15 a. m. to leave. I had had to get up at 5:45 a.m. so that I could just barely get there in time. Both buses left at 7:30 a.m., and we started our long trip (four hours). We arrived in Williamsburg at about 11:30 a.m. and since we were all famished, the first thing we .did was eat at The Motor House Cafeteria. After this we immediately divided into our chaperoned groups of about four kids per adult. We separated in town and the groups went wherever they wanted until later in the afternoon.

SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Land controls APPREHENSION about future sewage problems, school enrollment, and pollution has prompted the Madison County Board of Supervisors to call an indefinite halt to subdivision development.*The same thing has occurred in Culpeper County, where a moratorium on development has also been declared. How fortunate we are that Rappahannock County officials have had the foresight to provide, up to this point, adequate zoning and subdivision legislation — rules and regulations which have been responsible for orderly development, thus far. It is not too soon, however, to re-study and reevaluate Rappahannock’s zoning and subdivision ordinances. These are presently being studied, re-worked and updated, article by article, with a large committee of local residents headed by Rosser Payne, a development consultant. Often we hear a complaining public moan about restrictions and decry the very rules which are protecting them. Would we not moan louder and longer if we are asked to finance the subdivider, if he were allowed to carelessly and haphazardly develop land, then move on and leave the problems for us? □ Hughes praised Editor: Congratulations! Dr. Mort Hughes. I was pleased to read the article carried in a recent edition of your fine paper, announcing the retirement from the medical profession of Dr. John M. (Mort) Hughes. Dr. Hughes most surely has realized a great degree of satisfaction in the long and useful span of service he has given to the art of dentistry. This'news item was of particular interest to me, because previous to his entering the field of medicine, Mr. Mort —the name we best like to remember him by — taught school in a small one room schoolhouse near the Forest Grove Church in the Viewtown area. And my very first experience in a public school, was to meet Mr. Mort Hughes, The Teacher. I, perhaps like most youngsters .entering school for the first time, did so with a great degree of apprehension. But this fear was soon to be overcome by the kind and understanding teacher, Mr. Mort. To me, he was as much a parent as that of a teacher. We need more teachers like Mr. Mort Hughes. May he be blessed with many years in which to enjoy his garden and retirement. Congratulations! Dr. Hughes. Marion J. Jacobs 1028 Phillips Ave. Dayton, Ohio 45410 An appreciation Editor: We thoroughly enjoy reading your news. It is refreshing, compared with the daily papers.

Letters to the editor School views criticized Editor: I would like to voice serious protest regarding the way in which the Rappahannock News reported the reactions of the Board of Supervisors to the proposed quality education standards as set forth by the State Board of Education. It seems to me that the article totally biased and without substantial factual support. I feel that the editors have shirked their responsibility to the citizens of the county by: (1) failing to present both sides of the case involving the proposed plan, and (2)failing to give any specifics of the proposed plan so that the citizens of the area can form their own opinions intelligently. My wife is a high school teacher in Augusta County and I have made a point to keep abreast of the developments and conditions in Virginia education. Several points should be raised with regards to Board’s position on the tax situation of the county in relation to the schools. According to figures published in the November 1972 issue of the VEA (Virginia Education Association) Journal, Rappahannock’s true tax rate is a mere 43 cents on the hundred; only four counties in the entire state have lower rates. Even with the proposed tax increase, the 63 cents rate is only about the average for the state, certainly compatable with, a rural area. As to the remarks made by certain members of the Board of Supervisors, I .b *■. iULt ^ kl-lLC ' would like to ask what gives these particular supervisors the qualifications to condemn the standards set forth by the State Board of Education as “far out,” and to say that their program is “foolish?” A certainly do not wish it to seem that I advocate blind endorsement of all actions by state agencies, but I do expect those charged with the government of Rappahannock County to refrain from making rash and irresponsible public statements which are unsupported by either fact or expertise. To reject or accept any program and to make public pronouncements about it without a thorough study of the details and feasibility is “foolish” and indeed “far out”! This is certainly not what I want to see in the county where I grew up and the place I consider home. Edward E. Clark Jr. Director of Residence Bridgewater College Editor’s note — The News accurately reported the Supervisors’ action, hnd their comments. How Mr. Clark concluded that this report was “totally biased and without substantial factual support” is interesting, since he was not present at the meeting in question. Furthermore, we are inclined to agree with the Supervisors’ position, which was duly stated in the editorial column of the newspaper, a prerogative which is this newspaper’s just as surely as it is the prerogative of readers to write letters for publication. □ Squad’s responsibility Editor: There has been a question as to what is the extent and territory of a rescue squad, and where does each unit’s territory begin and end. I have been connected with a rescue squad as an active member; have been Captain of the Washington Rescue Squad; taught First Aid to many members of our own squad and other squads in this county. There have been many times in our area and town that vye did not have a driver available or the ambulance was already out and we had to call on neighboring units for help. We have been called to other areas when their ambulances were not available. After 32 years’ experience and active duty with first aid and rescue squad work, I feel it is our duty and responsibility as rescue squadsmen to go where ever we are called. I personally feel we have no designated area. What are we supposed to do? Let the injured or ill person lie there and die because it is not our territory? No - I say go - and go at once. Do unto otherk as you would have them do unto you. >. Bertha M. Armel

The most recent proposal on the blue law would repeal the provision which allows unlimited sales on Sunday if the proceeds from Sundays sales are donated to charity. There will probably be a number of other amendments, offered and debated before the legisla ture completes action on this bill. On the bill allowing bingo and raffles, the question is whether it should be restricted to fire companies, rescue squads and churches or whether these activities should be allowed to be conducted by any charitable or non-profit organization. The pari-mutuel bill has passed the Senate and at this time it is not certain whether it will be reported School holiday this Friday CLASSES at both public ‘ schools in Rappahannock County will be suspended for one day Friday, February 16, to allow teachers to participate in one of a series of in-service programs scheduled throughout the year.

The bill now carries a requirement for a state-wide referendum and approval by the people in that referendum before the legislation can become law. BOTH the House and Senate have passed a number of bills on a wide variety of subjects in these closing days of the session. The bill that I introduced requiring an environmental review by an appropriate state agency before the state itself constructs major facilities has passed the House and is now in the Senate. My bill which prohibits the State Water Control Board from giving extra credit to a locality for joining a planning district commission in' distributing state grants to abate pollution has passed the House and a similar bill has passed the Senate, so one of these bills is certain to be enacted. Next week I will have a final report on the 1973 General Assembly. □ Be Alert For WASHINGTONS BIRTHDAY Two Days Only ($ February 16,17 £ SHOP IN CULPEPER AND SAVE CULPEPER RETAIL MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION

Grain sign-up under way SIGN-UP forms, helpful assistance, and a pleasant atmosphere are all on. tap at the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS) office, ready for the farm program signup period which began Monday, February 5, and will continue through March 16. So reports ASCS County Executive Director, J. W. Coates, who anticipates that approximately 130 farmers in Rappahannock County will sign-up for participation in the 1973 feed grain and wheat programs. If sign-up is in line with previous years, approxim Supper Saturday A Pancake Supper is scheduled for Saturday night, February 17 at Amissville fire hall from 5 to 9 p.m. The supper is sponsored by the Amissville Ruritan Club and will feature pancakes and sausage, all you can eat. Suppers will be $1.50 for adults and $1 for children and a door 'prize will be . given away. □ ately 60 percent of the eligible farms in the county will be signed up in one or more of these programs. He said that there has been some revising of program provisions since initial announcements were made, and he suggested that farmers should keep a close eye on mail and news announcements from the ASCS county office to be sure they are up-to-date on all program details. ONCE A producer is sure of his program choices, then it’s a wise idea for him to come in and sign up at the ASCS office as soon as possible. It will save the farmer’s time if' he comes in early — before there is a line-up. Even a short line can mean a considerable wait, since it sometimes takes half an hour, or more to complete one sign-up. Farmers also were reminded that measurement services — which are provided at cost— may be requested at any time from the ASCS county office. A farmer doesn’t have to wait till he signs up to put in for measurement service.DURING the six-week SPECIAL COMMISSIONER’S SALE > of VALUABLE TRACTS OR PARCELS OF LAND IN HAMPTON MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT* ;; 5 *■ RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY, VIRGINIA on the premises back of Pine Knot Inn and,on the east of U.

Oliver Durant, chairman of the March 3, Rappahannock races, is not going in the Christmas Tree business. He is transporting 2,500 cedars from Culpeper County to the Sperryville Pike Race Course to make the brush jumps over which the hurdle horses will soar. Race brush ‘imported’ “THE ‘73 RAPPAHANNOCK Hurdle course will be as well brushed as the best and biggest in the Virginia Point - to-Point Circuit,” says Oliver Durant, popular chairman of the Rappahannock Races. “Dear 0,” as Durant is called by his committee, knows his stuff and his brush when it comes to racing. “The reason Pin so happy to get so many — yes, two thousand five-hundred — cedars is historically interesting. Years ago when 95 percent of Rappahannock County’s economy was tied to apples, it was discovered that the ubiquitous cedar caused rust in apples.

Tree planting assistance available LANDOWNERS who might want to plant an abandoned field or idle part of a farm in pine can let the Virginid Division of Forestry do the planting for them, plus paying for 1/2 the cost. ■© The Pine Reforestation Act enacted by the 1971 Virginia General Assembly is designed to assist landowners to turn non-profitable and unproductive land into profitable pine forest. The money to finance this assistance program comes from a self-imposed taxon the pine-using industry and matching public monies from the General Fund. The ^ state supports this program^ because surveys have shown that the cut of pine timber has extended the annual volume of growth by almost 15 percent per year since 1957. DETAILED information on the Pine Reforestation Act is available from the County Forester, Evan L. Sharp, or C. W. Jenkins, Chief Forest Warden at Sperryville. Forester Sharp will, at no charge examine a pros pective planting site to determine the species best suited for the site and the number needed for planting. Labor and equipmen can be arranged to get the job done. Forester Sharp can be contacted by writing the Virginia Division of Forestry, P. O. Box 148, Madison, or telephoning his home in the evening, 9234587. The amount of direct financial assistance to the landowner for preparing land and planting pine trees is determined by the manner in which the work is done, the option selected, and the approval of the State Forester. The three options available are basically summarized below. THE LANDOWNER is eligible to receive 50 percent of the costs incurred up to a total cost of $40 per acre. Linder Option I, the State will complete the project with state-owned equipment, materials and personnel and will bill the landowner for his portion of the cost; over and above the $20 per acre or 50 per cent of actual cost, whichever would be the lesser amount. Under Option II, a landowner would complete the reforestation project utilizing his own labor, materials and equipment; a contractors labor, material and equipment; industry material, labor and equipment; or state-owned labor, materials and equipment, or any combination. He would have to pay all of his expenses and then submit copies of this receipt to the State Forester for determination of his incentive payment. The incentive payment would amount to $20 per acre or 50 percent of the actual cost per acre, whichever would be the lesser figure. THE LANDOWNER is eligible to receive a loan, free of interest, for up to 75 percent of the costs incurred (the loan will not exceed $30 per acre) for preparing the area and planting trees. The loan must be supported by a recorded lien on the reforested area. At the expiration of 30 EXPERT INCOME TAX PREPARATION OFFERED FRIDAY AFTERNOON OR EVENING BY APPOINTMENT...CALL 825-5050 ’Buy and Take Delivery NOW on a New or Used Car. Apply All or Part of your Income Tax Refund, When Your Check Arrives. NO CASH NEEDED NOW * Based on Approved Credit BOB SPROULfilNC LYMQ years, (or earlier, if a crop of timber has commercial sale value and the landowner notifies the State Forester in writing before selling or cutting the timber), the landowner is released from his lien by repaying the $30.00 loan, interest free. If at any time before the expiration of 30 years the landowner should wish to use the land for some other purpose, he can be released from the lien by repaying the $30 together with 5 percent interest compounded annually from the aaie ui the loan. Assistance under the Pine Reforestation of Tim - berlands Act does not apply to any acres on which the provision of the Virginia Pine Seed Tree Act are effective or to any acres receiving Federal assistance for growing timber. The number of eligible acres which can be planted for each private owner will be three acres to 500 acres per year. A stand of pines, a reforestation project on the property of Capt. L.B. Stuart at Amissville, is being thinned to enhance growth of the timber. Every third row is being harvested for pulpwood and the remainder will be left to continue its growth. By thinning the trees improvement will be made in both diameter and height of growth as well as straight lines of timber. 1 SHOOTING MATCH Friday, February 16 and every Friday night until further notice SPERRYVILLE CARNIVAL GROUNDS beginning at 7:30 p.m. Benefit Sperryville Vol. Fire Department Prizes: Beef, Hams, Turkeys, Oysters 12-16-20 gauge guns

The seventh grade classes of Rappahannock County Elementary School took a weekend field trip to Williamsburg February 10 and 11. These students accompanied by 18 chaperones relived history on the tours and in the buildings of the city which they had just been studying in their Virginia History classes. The weekend was well planned and all activities executed on schedule so the group made the most Of every minute. Students enjoy trip From page i be purchased; the Wren Building of the College of William and Mary (this is the oldest academic structure in the U.S.), several craft shops with such handmade goods as pipes, baskets, clothing, slates, jewelry, etc. WHEN that tour was over, I didn’t think I’d ever walk again, but there was stilf lots to come. At 5 p.m. we all went to our hotel, the Williamsburg Motor House, where our rooms were waiting. We cleaned up or watched TV or slept for one glorious half hour and then went to the cafeteria for dinner. After dinner we went to the Information Center to see a movie, “The Gunsmith of Williamsburg.” It was an hour long and very interesting (it took 300 hours to make a good gun in colonial days!). At 7:30 p.m. I went on a tour of the magazine (gun stockhold) and gaol (jail). There were several cells in the Gaol and the people who had been kept in them long ago must have frozen because the windows were open permanently. Brrrrr! In the magazine there were almost 200 guns. One gun took two people to fire — one to hold it and the other to pull the trigger. After it was fired the one who held it had to pick up the one who shot it, the recoil was so great. When this was over, we met the groups who had chosen to go on a candlelight tour of the craft houses and we all went to the William and Mary Field House. Thanks to the college’s alumni association (one of our Chaperones had gone to W&M) we were invited to a track meet for free. AFTER about an hour we went back , to our hotel and watched some TV and went to bed. At 7:15 a.m. Sunday morning we wearily awoke and got ready for breakfast. We ate at the cafeteria again and the food was really great. After breakfast we went on a tour of several shops, the Governor’s Palace and the Capitol. There were so many fragile things I was afraid to touch anything. At the Palace, there were fantastic English formal gardens, including a holly bush maze. IT WAS easy to get to the center of this maze, but hard to get back out. I forgot to mention that all of these tours were conducted by trained Colonial Williamsburg guides and interpreters, who made the past really come back no life. At 1 p.m. we boarded our buses, went to a hamburger place outside the town for lunch, and then started back to Rappahannock. We got back at the school at 6 p.m., tired and filled with memories. Our chaperones for the trip were: Mr. and Mrs. Robert Witten, George Graham, John Penney, Robert Burgess, Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Baines, Mr. and Mrs. William Sealock, Omar Staltzfus, Mrs. Betty Grigsby, Mrs. Phyllis Swindler, Mrs. R. C. Kuhn, Mrs. Ester Settle, Mrs. Dorothy Settle, Mrs. Thurmond Wharton, Miss Patty Taylor. The buses were driven by John Kendall, and John Henry Woodward. □ CARD OF THANKS I wish to express my thanks to all friends, neighbors and relatives for the concern and kindness extended me during my bereavement.

season THE REGULAR season for the Rappahannock Panthers ended Tuesday night when the fell to the Page County Panthers 68-54. Friday night’s game with Stonewall Jackson was another low, 59-35. The Panthers’ season total was 513, finishing in seventh place in the ten-team district. They move into the district tournament Tuesday, February 20 playing Madison at Harrisonburg. In the Stonewall Jackson game, senior Cliff Frye completed his last home appearance with an excellent performance, leading the Panthers with 19 points and proving equally good in defensive play. Jordan pciked up 10 and Tom Wignington Dale Russell and Bobby Smoot each provided two. In the Page County contest, Harry Jordan accounted for 21 points while Steve Leake tossed in 13 and Bobby Smoot provided eight. Cliff Frye and Dale Russell got four each and Bbb Titchenell and Tom Wigington had two each. THE JV’S LOST their last two games, 44-24 to Stonewall Jackson and 5852 to Page. The scoring against Page finally showed more strength and balance with individuals getting 11, 10, 8, 8, 7, 6, and 2 points. Mike Smoot was high man with 11. In the excitement of sports, it is often easy to forget many people who provide and give much to keep the season activities running smoothly, though their efforts may not be obvious. IN THE COACHING line little is heard of Jerry Campbell and his JV efforts. He is the training ground for the varsity of tomorrow, but he gets little enough credit for it. One coach no one hears of is Julian Brown who singlehandedly organizes and practices an eighth grade team which played a four-game schedule this season and won two. He receives no pay, but deserves a great deal of credit for this work, especially when one considers that he is also president of the Starts Friday, February 16 from 9a.m.-9p.m. • 20 only .'MEN’S SUITS $22.»EA. • Men’s Winter JACKETS $5.” EA. • Big Choice!
