Rappahannock News, August 9, 1973

A Wli i : 4 U / f V .. • 23219 AUG 10 !973 FOR SPERRYVILLE ‘Realistic’pollution soliitionasought A “REALISTIC SOLUTION” to the problem of abating pollution of the ' Thornton River from discharge 6f raw sewage at Sperryville has been urged by Dr. R. S. LeGarde, regional health officer for the District which includes Rappahannock County. Dr. LeGarde’s preference for providing an inexpensive solution which would not include the cost of growth met with the Rappahannock Supervisors’ approval at their meeting last Thursday. Presently, sewer lines from a number of houses and commercial establishments discharge raw sewage directly into the river. LeGarde told the supervisors he is now conducting a survey of the violators, then deferred to C. F. Johnson Jr. of the County’s Sanitation Authority. “I called the engineers down at Stafford (Clifford MarthvAssociates) and told them Dr. LeGarde will conduct a sanitary survey of Sperryville. Sorry I missed what the highway man said,” began Johnson. “He didn’t say anything,” said Chairman Newbill Miller. Earlier in the meeting Resident Highway Engineer D. R. Askew had mumbled through the final secondary road budget, an inaudible formality. Supervisor Pete Luke managed to persuade Askew to return with a presentation on the Highway Department’s plans for Route 211 by Sperryville, since location of the highway would relate to the problem of where to provide a sewage system for the flood plain town. “I WOULD PERSONALLY LIKE an answer on what the Highway Depart Angus wins DONNA CANNON of Castleton has spent a busy summer sowing her prize Angus stock. She showed the champion Angus heifer last week at the Culpeper Area Farm Show, competing with others from Culpeper, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock Counties. . , The animal was born and raised on El Rancho Grande Farm, owned by her parents Mr. and Mrs. Ray T. Cannon. In other competition, her heifer was champion at the Glenwood Park Show where eleven northern Virginia counties were represented. She had the first place winner in her class at the Virginia Junior Breeders Show last week and placed fifth at the Eastern Division Junior Heifer Show in a field of 240 heifers, some from as far away as Oklahoma. □ ment is going to do,” said Newbill Miller, “so we don’t spend a tremendous amount of money only to see the Highway Department remove one third of the houses.” “Today’s philosophy is to miss as many houses as possible,” said Askew quietly. Ned Johnson then asked the supervisors for funds to update Sperryville engineering studies done three years ago. “We are convinced we cannot pursue the elaborate system conceived three years ago,” saif* Johnson. “Dr. LeGarde asked them point blank what it would cost to bring engineering studies up to date. They said not more than $2,000.” Newbill Miller mentioned that the engineering firm of Hayes, Seay, Mattern & Mattern is conducting a State Water Control Board regional study which includes Sperryville. He didn’t think the Supervisors would not have to pay for duplicate information provided by Clifford & Martin. In discussion of the sewage problem and Dr. LeGarde’s' approach—“This is what we want. How simple can you make it”—the supervisors asked about various solutions which included lagoon treatment. Dr. LeGarde warned that maintenance problems had disenchanted the State Water Control Board about lagoons. A RAPPAHANNOCK SUPERVISORS meeting is incomplete without a dog claim. Dog Warden Jack Bruce came before the Board last Thursday. “I was called up last Sunday. I can’t think a dog did it; no signs of the lamb See Page 11 ■ftsa® Many fascinating entries appeared in the Flint Hill parade Thursday before the rains came, including this equestrian representing the Trail Riders of Rappahannock.

Andrew Miller thinks that if a public body brings in , one other person who is not a member of that body, and dissolves itself into a “study commission,” it can then hold closed door sessions. We don’t agree with his interpretation of the language of Virginia’s Freedom of Information Law, but if the “loophole” does indeed exist then it should be closed, and Miller himself says he will recommend that this be done ~i at the next session of the General Assembly. We’d be even more dismayed if any public body in this part of the state took advantage of a “loophole” which so clearly violates the t intent of the FOI law, and that intent is to have the public’s business conducted in public, with rare exceptions spelled out for special purposes. □ An herb punch recipe Editor: Many visitors to the Super Flea Market made their way to the Garden Center in the back corner of Mrs. Mattie Ball Fletcher’s large yard, and everyone declared it to be the coolest spot in town on that hot Fourth of July. This was a great advantage, for none of the hundreds of plants showed any signs of wilting. » The Herb Punch, prepared by Mrs. Williamson and Mrs. George Muth proved very popular. Perhaps sthe recipe would be of interest to those who didn’t find our shady corner. Mrs. Lester A.

My wife came from there and I still take the News. Rappahannock is a beautiful county with nice people, and I always thought that if I was ever run out of Loudoun I would stop Amissville VFD carnival begins AMISSVILLE FIREMEN’S CARNIVAL is scheduled for Wednesday through Saturday, August 15-18 at the grounds located on Route 211 west. This four-night event will conclude the carnival season in Rappahannock County.

Highlights of the event will be a grand parade Thursday evening beginning at 6:30 p.m. and a box supper will be available at the food stand following it. Good food, drinks and desserts will also be on sale that night and each night. A queen will be selected and a coronation ceremony will be staged Friday night.

Funds realized from the carnival are used for the operation and purchase of equipment. The support of all will be needed.□ ® right there. In your article about Round Hill, in the Piedmont Virginian, you were misinformed as to the reason Purcellville outgrew Round Hill. The railroad came to Round Hill in 1873 and it was the end of the track until 1900 when the track extended to Bluemont. This did Round Hill no good. Now if you will look at the map, you will see that roads extend out of Purcellville like spokes out of a wheel. Route 7 east and west, 287 northeast to Lovettsville, 690 to Hillsboro, 690 southwest to Silcott Springs and Philomont and 722 to Lincoln. Between 1912 and 1920 some 14 miles of these roads had been Macadami- t zed. This was done by the citizens paying one-fourth, the county one-fourth and the state one-half. The road from Purcell- - ville to Hillsboro has been where it is for over a hundred years and part of it follows a patent line that was cut through the woods before there was a house in Purcellville. Keep up the good work. Terry Hirst Purcellville P.S.— I do not know that they drove a golden spike when the railroad reached Round Hill, but when the first train came in the celebration was so general that when they got around to turning the engine around, it was rocked off the track and a man was killed. _a _ a__ a. lAfTQ

Over salaries and such Rappahannock Supervisors debate By HARRISON O’CONNOR DISCUSSION of a continuing personnel problem — whether to accept Zoning Administrator Col. E. A. McNear’s latest offer to handle duties expanded by growth pressures — and then an argument over budgetary procedures and salary raises for county employes — sparked a confrontation between Rappahannock Supervisors H. B. Wood and Chairman Newbill Miller at last Thursday’s August meeting of the Board. When Clerk E. M. Jones notified the Board that Col. McNear requested an assitant to work three days a week, H. B. Wood said: “That’s what we voted not to do. . .Advertise for a Zoning Administrator then. We better find a man.” A similar discussion about how to handle McNear’s latest job description at last month’s Supervisors’ meeting had led to a shouting match, and last Thursday H. B. Wood was ready to continue, the argument. Even as Col. Pete Luke, the newest supervisor, tried to get background on McNear’s growth-pressured job, Wood prodded to “advertise for another man.” Eventually, the Board decided to defer the matter a second time, but Wood’s handling of what had been phrased as “McNear’s offer to our offer,” seemed to irritate Newbill Miller. MILLER’S back visibly hunched as he told Wood: “You’re not polite.” And Wood responded, “I am polite,” followed cby Miller’s constrained, “You’re not.” By that time, the Supervisors had skipped from discussing how to handle Col. McNear’s offer, to an angry discussion of increased salaries for some County employes, dictated by the State Compensation Board. The argument even led to a half-hearted considHORSE SALE Satvrday, Avgvst 1 FAUQUIER LIVESTOCK EXCHANGE MARSHALL, VA 703 3M-4M1 eration at one time of whether to revise the County tax rate, and an angry resolution offered by H. B. Wood to freeze the salaries of County employes not under the jurisdiction of the State Compensation Board. Finally, the Supervisors who had listened silently— Herbert A. Foster and J. R. Latham—said respectively, “Since this thing has gone this far, let it ride another year,” and “I’m gonna wait until next April. I’m a little wiser.” THIS Spring, the supervisors met “in committee” to discuss the budget and agreed to a 5.5% raise for constitutional employes. On June 6, the supervisors met publically to pass a resolution giving County employes the raise, but the decision was soon reversed by the State Compensation Board— which declared the June 6 resolution illegal, and allowed that certain constitutional salaries must go higher than 5%. Salaries were raised. Even some “non-constitutional” employes got comparable raises, notably the Clerk of the Court and the Deputy Clerk, and this irritated H. B. Wood. Wood recalled the committee meeting when a 5.5% raise was decided upon, and turned on the Clerk of the Court E. M. Jones to ask why the Board’s resolution had not been passed on to the State Compensation Board in time for appeal. (Since the supervisors had not petitioned the State Board at its regular hearing date, State officials wrote Jones that constitutional employes in Rappahannock must be paid according to the State Compensation Board’s pay scale.) Chairman Newbill Miller defended Jones. “THERE HAS never been an appearance before the State Compensation Board that has ever accomplished a thing. There is no flow of information between the two boards.” The news surprised Col. Pete Luke, who thought “automatic budget procedures” dictated that Jones inform the State Board of the Supervisors’ salary raise. Wood turned to Jones: “You do everything else on your own. All five of us passed a resolution that night. Why didn’t you send the letter?” “We did not ask Mr. Jones to write the State Compensation Board a letter,” said Newbill Miller. “I think it is the Board’s prerogative if we want to appear before the State Compensation Board.” THOUGH there were no minutes taken at the committee meeting, H. B. Wood recalled that the 5.5% salary increase did not apply to employes who had not asked for raises during spring budget review. “I didn’t raise Mr. Jones’ salary,” declared Wood. Col. Luke remembered that the supervisors had decided to give a fixed percentage raise to all employes, whether or not they were statutory. He thought this was advisable, “in order not to have dissention in the ranks.” “I make a motion right now not to raise any salaries where we have jurisdiction,” H. B. Wood de dared. J. R. Latham said quietly, “I’m gonna wait until next April. . .” Col. Luke begged off: “I’ll have to plead ignorance of the budget cycle.” NEWBILL MILLER recognized the motion on the floor; it received no second, and the Board voted against H. B. Wood’s motion. “Since the thing has gone this far, let it ride another year,” said Herbert A. Foster. “I see right now,” said Newbill Miller, “that in the future we are going to have to be very specific in our understandings.” Suddenly Wood said: . .They’re gonna get their 5.5%. That’s just what you just said. Is that what Mr. Jones is gonna get? Mr. Bruce. . .? “What do you mean by that?” asked the chairman. “You’re not polite.” “I am polite!” “You’re not!” “I am certainly not trying to be impolite to nobody.” “When anyone starts to say something, H. B., you just say ugh! and throw your hands up,” said Newbill Miller slowly. “I’m sorry I insulted you,” said Wood. “I accept your apology,” said Miller. □ Big Savings Thru The 18th!

Non-motorist ID cards FOR ONLY the second time, the Division of Motor Vehicles will soon reach beyond the motoring public to serve Virginia citOn July 1, all Virginia residents 18 or older, and who do not possess a valid driver’s license, will be eligible to apply for a special identification card, which DMV will issue at branch offices and license examining stations. The Division has been offering ID cards to the blind for almost two years. Commissioner Vern L. Hill says that the new DMVID cards are designed to “fill an urgent need for identification among adults who do not have a driver’s license.” The cards will display the owner’s name and address, date of birth, * sex, signature, and will include a color photo. Complete with plastic case, the cards will be valid for five years and will cost $5. APPLICATIONS (available at any DMV office) must be supported by proof of the applicant’s identity and date of birth. DMV will accept as proof a birth certificate, school records, baptismal certificate, military records, or other acceptable documents. Commissioner Hill noted that the DMV-ID cards will be useful in establishing identification and as proof of age. “Our senior citizens,” Hill adds, “will also find the cards helpful in qualifying for the discounts to -which they are entitled in many places of business. We believe that these DMV -ID cards will fill a real need in these days of everincreasing calls for identity certification.” □ POLO CLUB Rappahannock P6lo Club will have two games at Fannon Field, Laurel Mills on Friday at 8 p.m. One game is with Reston and the other with Woodlawn.

Clear streams Cooperation from everyone is essential This is the third in a series of articles suggesting ways of improving the quality of our rivers, lakes and streams, prepared by Captain H.W Holschuh, USN (Retired), acting chairman of the Water Quality committee of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP). Reader’s comments are solicited. SUMMER1 time is the time for swimming, fishing, boating and other water sports. But can the outdoor water enthusiast really enjoy himself in Rappahannock County? How many times have you driven down one of our lovely lanes, and seen a family enjoying a relaxing picnic beside one of our" idylic swimming holes? Grandma is sitting on a rock cooling her feet in the running water. The youngsters are splashing and twirling in their inner tubes. Mom is keeping a watchful eye from midstream, while dad and the boys take off for an endurance swim down around the bend. What a perfect way to relax on a hot summer afternoon in the country. But then you drive around the next curve in the road and discover someone else washing his car or cattle truck in the same river a few yards upstrearn from the bathers. Mud, grease. gasoline, winter road chemicals, and livestock manure wash downstream to the frolickers. A CLOSER look at the picnic site would have revealed decaying food, beer cans and broken bottles from last weekend’s picnic or fishing party littering the shore and shallow water where the children are playing. Driving on a little farther, you encounter a heavy thunder shower which washes down mud and construction debris from the new home being built on the knoll, and garbage and trash carelessly placed outside an older home in the hollow. Farm chemicals, detergents, and deadly pesticides flow in some of our streams, and 1 14th Annual Leeds Ruritan TOURNAMENT Prizes & Ribbons Awarded in Senior &Junior Divisions BARBECUE and GAMES Tournament 3 p.m. — Barbeeue 5 p.m. SATURDAY AUGUST 11 Hume, Virginia Ruritan Grounds Ruritan Grounds Children $1.

No Entry fee. the raw sewage from Sperryville threatens the Thornton River. What can we do to make life happier and healthier for our water sportsmen? Here are a few suggestions. EVERY picnicker and fisherman should carry his own trash bag. Take home your own trash, and fill up the bag with some of that left behind by the people who were there last. Even the pull tabs from beer and soft drink cans can kill fish; the fish swallow them, and then cannot digest or eliminate the metal rings. Merchants and industrialists should follow the same rule of thumb as outlined in the last article for farmers, namely, manage your establishment so that nothing washes away when the rains come or the snows melt. Pollution control is built into many new plants; it can be “engineered into” many older businesses, especially those discharging oils or greases, chemicals, detergents, or any substance which could be potentially damaging to fish and wildlife. Persons without adequate septic or sewage disposal systems should investigate the use of the new chemical or incinerator toilets, or the Swedish developed “Multrum” unit for composting human wastes into useful humus. BUILDERS, developers, contractors—everyone involved in disturbing the natural surface of the earth—can also help avoid water polution by preventing silt and debris from washing into lakes, rivers and streams after the natural cover is stripped from the ground. A sad example of this is included in the National Geographic Society’s environmental book “As we Live and Breathe.” In Fulton County, Ga., one developer included a twoacre lake in his subdivision, and nestled attractive homes in the surrounding woods. Then another developer began clearing land on the streap which fed the lake, sawing down trees, and cutting streets through the area. Soon erosion started; the stream silted in, and the lake is nearly dead. The state of Maryland has adopted regulations requiring builders to prevent erosion during construction. Rappahannock County could expect the same of its builders, large or small. Pollution control is just another building cost, along with labor and materials. IRONICALLY, pleasure boat owners, who should be most conscious of preSee Page 16 Conservation topics studied Mrs. Lynn Baines of Washington has completed summer classes at Madison College, Harrisonburg, where she took a Natural Resource Conservation Course.

Whole side of wool pulled off, but the skin wasn’t broken. Whole side of wool stripped completely off. “Sheep did look like it might have choked to death. You know how they foam at the nose,” said Burke. “To me, if dogs had done it there’d have to be wool pulled out in some other places,” said Bruce. “How much did the lamb weigh?” asked Col. Luke. “I picked it up in one hand. I’d say 40 to 45 pounds,” said Jack Bruce. HERBERT A. FOSTER HAD HEARD enough; he made a motion to pay 42 cents a pound for a 45-pound lamb.

DOUBLE-HEADER The Castleton Kings softball team will play a double-header against the Costa Rebels atKing Memorial Park, Castleton, Saturday afternoon starting at 3 o’clock. □ Si Sez WE WOULD LIKE TO CONSIDER the word OVER and some of the ways it can be used. Yesterday a party called from the Metropolitan area, informing me that she was coming out to dinner, bringing a party of either four or six. I asked if she could be more specific, I wanted to prepare enough food but not “overdo” it. As it happened, there were five, whereas I had prepared for six. Well, leftovers are not so bad if it doesn’t happen too often. Is over-evaluate a good word? Do we some times put more value on some certain object than it is really worth? I’ve heard friends praise a person that I knew was not worthy of such praise. Even I have had things said to me that I did not feel worthy of. Once I told this friend who was overevaluating something I had done (over-enthusing?): “Lady, don’t idolize me, I’ve got clay footsies.” Then I’ve done something that I thought was pretty good and have the boss say: “That does not come up to accepted standards, do it over.” Some can overdo cirticism. Can one over-speed, or is speeding the accepted term? If one is going at, say, five miles over the specified speed limit, he is actually speeding. If he goes to 30 or 40 miles over the limit is he over-speeding? See, I made a new word. Oh my way home from Culpeper the afternoon of August 2 last, just beyond Boston a truck passed me at excessive speed. It was near the top of the hill; when I reached the crest he was not in sight. I assumed that he had turned off. As I neared Scrabble he was parked beside the road, leisurely conversing with a man. Then, to cap the climax, just before reaching Fletcher’s Mill (the dip before the incline leading down to^Jhe mill) he roared past me again, making about 90 per, going uphill near the crest and over a double caution line. He was driving a blue Dodge pickup truck, but a truck just the same. I tried to get his license number but he was going too fast. Now, is that over-speeding? Of one thing I am sure, .HE WAS OVER-STUPID. □

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC Notice was earlier given to the public that Virginia Elec* trie and Power Company and Potomac Edison Company of Virginia had applied to the & State Corporation Commission for authority to construct certain electric transmission lines and related facilities. The transmission lines and facilities proposed are: (1) a 115 KV transmission line located in Fauquier County originating at a proposed substation at Remington, Virginia; (2) a 500 KV transmission line located in Fauquier County originating at a proposed substation at Morrisville, Virginia, and extending northeastwardly to Bristers Junction, Virginia; (3) a 230 KV line located in Fauquier County originating at the proposed substation at Morrisville, Virginia, and extending northwestwardly to the proposed substation at Remington, Virginia; (4) a 500 KV line originating at Virginia Electric and Power Company's generating facilities on the North Anna River in Louisa County and extending northwardly through the counties of Spotsylvania, Orange, Culpeper, to the proposed substation at Morrisville in Fauquier County; (5) a 500 KV line originating at the proposed substation at Morrisville in Fauquier County and extending northwestwardly through the counties of Culpeper, Rappahannock, Warren, and Frederick to the Virginia-West Virginia state line. Public hearings upon the applications have been held in Fauquier County and Rappahannock County and in the Commission’s Courtroom in Richmond, Virginia. The hearing has been continued to October 4, 1973, to allow additional time for the Commission’s Staff to further investigate the proposed routes and to investigate for alternate locations which might have a lesser adverse impact upon the environment and to determine the feasibility of using existing right of ways for the location of transmission lines found to be needed. In its investigation of the 500 KV transmission line proposed to extend from Morrisville to Bristers Junction, the Commission Staff will investigate for al ternate routes within Fauquier County. In its investigation of the 500 KV transmission line proposed to extend from Virginia Electric and Power Company’s generating facilities in Louisa County to Morrisville in Fauquier County, the Commission Staff will investigate for alternate routes in the counties of Louisa, Spotsylvania, Orange, Culpeper, Stafford, and Fauquier. In its. investigation of the 500 KV transmission line proposed to extend from Morrisville in Fauquier County to the Virginia - West Virginia line, the Commission Staff will investigate for alternate routes in the counties of Frederick, Clarke, Loudoun, Shenandoah, Warren, Fauquier, Prince William, Rappahannock, Culpeper, Madison, Page, and Rockingham. In the investigation of a route for the Morrisville - West Virginia transmission line the Commission Staff will investigate the reasonableness of locating the proposed line parallel to an existing 500 KV transmission line which passes east to west through the counties of Loudoun, Clarke, and Frederick and parallel to an existing 500 KV transmission line which extends north from Bristers Junction in Fauquier County and passes northwardly through the counties of Prince William and Loudoun. The Commission Staff will file the results of its investigation of the routes proposed by the Companies, and of any alternates which it may propose, on or before October 1, 1973. Anyone wishing to review the applicants’ proposals and the results of the study of the Commission Staff may do so by visiting any business office of the Virginia Electric and Power Company or Potomac Edison Company of Virginia where bills may be paid with the counties named above as being under investigation, or may visit the office of the State Corporation Commission. The proposals of the Electric Companies are presently so filed. The proposals of the Commission Staff will be so filed on or before October I, 1973. The purpose of the hearing beginning on October 4, 1973, will be to rocoive all evidence pertaining to the need of the proposed facilities and to receive all evidence regarding the routes proposed by the Electric Companies and to receive all evidence regarding the reasonableness of using any alternate routes or existing transmission routes within the counties indicated. Any interested party desiring to intervene in the October 4, 1973 hearing for the purpose of presenting evidence should advise the Commission by September 15, 1973, by letter to William C. Young, Clerk of the Commission, Blanton Building, P. 0. Box 1197, Richmond, Virginia 23209 with a copy of such notice to counsel to the applicants, Evans B. Brasfield, Attorney, 700 E. lfain Street, P. O. Box 1531., Richmond, Virginia 23212. If the interested party desires copies of the applicants’ proposals or that of the Commission Staff then they should so indicate in their notice and itwill be supplied. Any intervenor retaining consultants or experts for the purpose of investigating the need for the proposed facilities and proposed location of such facilities should file with the Commission on or before September 20, 1973, ten (10) copies of the direct testimony and exhibits of such consultants or experts and send a copy thereof to counsel to the Companies and to such other intervenors who may so request. u u i resuu oi ute evidence taken in the October 4, 1973 hearing the Commission finds a need for the facilities and finds that the evidence introduced gives sufficient cause for the Commission to consider any of the proposed alternate routes then the Commission will require public notice of those additional alternate routes that it will consider. On a day certain any parties affected by the alternates under consideration will be given an opportunity to appear in a public bearing and state their objection, if any, to the use of such alternates. Parties, who may have an interest in the need for, and location of the proposed facilities, are encouraged to follow the course of this investigation. c-23 STATE CORPORATION COMMISSION MRS.

Consignment forms for the Madison Yearling Sale to be held September 20 are available from your Extension Office. Calf prices have continued to climb. Haven’t seen anything remotely resembling the current price situation since the early nineteen fifties. One way of hedging your risks could be to market your heavy early calves during September and hold back your lighter calves for the October or early November sales. If you are selling directly from the farm, make a careful check of the current market before agreeing on a price. FESCUE FOR WINTER GRAZING—If you haven’t already done so, now is the time to pull your cattle off your fescue Helds and top dress with 75-100 pounds of Nitrogen per acre. The amount of nitrogen to apply should be determined by the condition of the stand, soil type, and winter feed demand. Good stands on good soils can justify higher rates of nitrogen.

Be sure to check your boat motor for dripping oil or gasoline. A leak from a small outboard can pollute a small stream as dangerously as a leak from a supertanker can pollute the ocean. And if your boat has a head, be sure it is equipped with an acceptible anti-pollution device, such as a holding tank. Don’t forget the slogan: “There are two things we want to make perfectly clear: Our lakes and our rivers.” We owe it to ourselves, our children, our guests, and our friends downstream. If each of us makes * a personal commitment to prevent all forms of pollution, no matter how small, we will make our streams and rivers and lakes pure enough to swim in, this summer. □ English group to be at Luray A TOURING high school band and choir from England will present a special music program for the Sunset Vespers service Sunday, August 12, 7:30 VIEWTOWNCASTLETON Mrs. Beulah Grigsby, Bruce and Kathy and Robbie Grigsby accompanied Mrs. Robert Woodward and daughter to Ocean City, Md. to visit Mr. and Mrs. Wilmer Smith and family for the weekend.
