Rappahannock News, June 13, 1974

RICHMOND 19, VA. Tax rate set Last year’s $4.10 rate retained by Board BY PEKAY PETTUS RAPPAHANNOCK’S Supervisors adopted a county budget of $1,328,061.72 for the 1975 fiscal year and set the tax rate at $4.10 per hundred, the same as last year’s, after a public hear r ing at their meeting last Thursday. The major portion of the budget goes for schools, $962,562. This amount includes a “special appropriation” of $15,210, which is a partial restoration of $48,200 the Supervisors had cut earlier from the school board’s budget request. Of the “special appropriation,” only $5,900 comes from Rappahannock County funds, Supervisor Chairman Pete Luke said. “The rest comes from the state.” Luke noted that $12,200 of the special appropriation is earmarked for “instruction,” or teacher salaries. The remainder will go toward furniture and supplies. “The school board has flexibility on how they spend the special appropriation,” Luke said. “Presumably they will use it for a ‘phys-ed’ teacher in the elementary school and increases in the tea chers’ pay scale. But that is their decision. We only adjusted the overall figure. THE BUDGET hearing dominated the Rappahannock Supervisors’ meeting and the teachers held the spotlight during the budget hearing. The teachers had come to protest the cut recommended by the Supervisors in the budget request made by the school board. Pete Luke, chairman of the Supervisors, started the hearing by explaining the “budget process.” “First we get forms for the elected officials; these forms have to be into the state by the first of April. The state will pay half of their salaries, except in the case of the sheriff. Then, the state pays two-thirds,” Luke said. “Then we take the school budget. We go over it item by item and dollar by dollar. All we can do is adjust the bottom figure and make suggestions as to how it could be shifted around,” Luke explained. “So the Board reviewed the salary scale. We decided not to cut the pay for non-degree teachers. We did cut out the study hall teacher and the speech therapist and the phys-ed teacher at the elementary school,” Luke said. “And we adjusted the pay scale.” “We have to remember that we’ll only get about $430,330 this year in property taxes. And that’s the big support for the school system. Then we have to look ahead,” Luke continued. “We’ve got to keep some set aside because next year we’ll probably have to implement the kindergarten program. Then we have more students taking part in the vocational education program. The means we have to add anSee Page 12 Pat Biggs is a furniture craftsman Pat planes a board in the basement workshop of las Flint Hill home. BY PEKAY PETTUS WHEN PAT and Ginger Biggs move into the new “Dutch colonial” house they’re building atop a knoll near Flint Hill, they’ll have no trouble furnishing it. Pat Biggs makes furniture when he’s not busy with his duties as a science and physics teacher at the Intermediate School in Front Royal. But now, he’s also working on the new house, so he’s not making desks, sideborads, tables, lamps, decon’s beaches or dressers at the rate he usually does. Pat has been working with wood since he was a teenager, and he prefers to work in the Queen Anne and Chippendale style. The house he and Ginger live in now is furnished with handsome pieces from those periods. “I don’t pretend that I work as the Colonial craftsmen did,” Pat said. “I have a lot of mechanized equipment to help me.” But the furniture he turns out in his basement workshop reflects the same attention to proportion and detail that characterize authentic pieces from those periods. “I LIKE the way this kind of furniture looks and I know I could never afford the antiques or quality reproductions,” Pat said. “Besides, I just like to work with my hands. And when I do something myself, I know where to place the blame if it doesn’t turn out to suit me. Pat orders catalogs of English and American antiques and reproductions, such as those published by Craft House of Williamsburg, Biggs (no relation), Sueters and Ethan Allan. He works from no patterns or diagrams showing him “how to.” He simply studies the picture and copies the design. “Often I add special features of my own liking.” He pointed to a Chippendale “Butler’s table” that they use as a coffee table. Pat added a decorative edging on the outside corner of each leg. He also varied the inlay design for the table top. Pat does most of his work for himself, especially the larger pieces. Things like a Queen Anne desk, butler’s See Page 3 Flea Market planned THE RAPPAHANNOCK RECREATION Association will sponsor the traditional 4th of July Flea Market on the streets of Washington, Va., this year.

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Best Industry “THE INDUSTRY of agriculture, including forestry, provides a solid base for the current way of life in Virginia. This industry, employing workers in producing, processing and marketing of quality food and fiber, constitutes a major sector of Virginia’s economy. Its continued viability is dependent upon adequate land resources.” That’s the opening paragraph of a land use position paper adopted last week by the State Board of Agriculture and Commerce, and it sums up as forcefully as anything seen is quite sometime the attitude the Rappahannock News also has. We agree with the state board that preservation, protection and enhancement of this valuable asset is vital to all Virginians. And yet, there are many Virginians who not only do not share this view, but are devoting all their waking hours—plus a few apparently spent buring the midnight oil—to devise more ways to transform Virginia farmland into something else, to sacrifice “a major sector of Virginia’s economy” into something else—something alien to Virginia and not all that promising. EVEN THE Governor of Virginia is a nevertiring champion of “progress”—read “development”—and of more and more “industry.” Virginia already has one of the best industries imaginable, in its agri-business economy, but that isn’t good enough for a sometime corporation lawyer who has sat in the highest councils of commerce and industry. There are people right in this area, which is one of the historically strongest agricultural sections in Virginia, who want to see us dump this for the uncertainties of widespread development, and “industry.” Nothing dirty or messy— oh no! The only kind of industry they want is “nice and clean,” providing a strong tax base but causing no problems! What about the industry we have—farming? “THE EXPERIENCES of overdeveloped states in the North provide guidance to Virginians in the necessity for developing well-conceived State land use policies,” says the policy paper adopted by the Virginia Agriculture and Commerce Board. If anything, it’s a bland understatement. Instead of trying to transform Rappahannock and other rural counties into something they aren’t, it strikes us that all of these busy “task forces” would do better if they tried to help strengthen what these counties already have, in green abundance. After all, agriculture is “a major sector of Virginia’s economy.” Let’s help strengthen it, right here at home.D “Close-ups” Many people recognized the ice cube picture last week in the contest.

Letters to the Editor Population problems Editor: Thank you for your editorial, “Elusive breakthroughs.” However, for some reason you have avoided naming the real culprit in the whole problem. "The planners, politicians and editorial writers constantly refer to “growth.” What we are really talking about is human beings. Let us face it—this is where the problem lies. We must in the very near future bring about a nationwide population control policy. The longer we delay, the less likely we will be able to solve the air, water and food problem. Werner Krebser, M. D. Huntly, Editor’s note—A news release received this week from the U.S. Census Bureau indicated that the U. S. birth rate may have reached a rate of 1.9—or less than “zero” growth—and that the rate of increase in the population in 1973 was one-third that of 1970. Perhaps basic progress is, indeed, being made.D SUNDAY SERVICE The Rev. William A.

Pat Briggs is furniture craftsman rrom Page 1 table or sideboard,- just don’t sell fast enough to justify the time and expense of making them, Pat said. “For awhile I did make the larger pieces to sell. But there’s not really that much market for them.” “At one time, we had three grandmother’s clock’s in this house,” Ginger added. “They were beautiful, with the moving moon dial and triple chimes. They didn’t sell for a good while, but now they’re all gone, even the one I would like to have kept.” However, Pat will do “custom work” for large pieces of furniture. “Sometimes people bring me a picture of something they’d like for me to copy. Or they describe to me what they want, often to fit a special place, and I work with them, designing it, until we get what they want,” he said. “ONE TIME a lady wanted a bedside table that was high enough for a certain bed and had enough surface area on top to hold a whole list of things, beginning with her clock radio,” Ginger said. “So Pat made it, and it was just what she wanted. He also made a “dry sink” lined with copper to go in the wide entrance hall at the Rappahannock Elementary School. “An aunt of mine had a wide picture window, and she wanted something low enough and long enough, nearly seven feet, to go under it,” Ginger said. “Pat was able to make something to fit.” Although he now makes larger furniture only on order, or for himself, Pat makes and sells many smaller items, such as shaving stands and coffee grinder style lamps. He markets these through Simeon Petri of Front Royal and Colonial Arts and Crafts in Winchester. The saving stands sell for $100 apiece and the lamps for about $45. That price may seem expensive, Pat admitted, but he makes only a couple of dollars on each piece. “After I’ve bought the wood and hardward, like hinges and pulls—and in the case of the lamps the electrical fixings and shades — I haven’t made much.” “But I enjoy it, and it is a hobby that will pay,” Pat said. “The smaller things are no trouble. I can cut the parts a dozen at a time.” Pat Biggs rests his arm on a tea cart he made. The shaving stand atop it is about the easiest piece of furniture he makes and the one that sells fastest, he said. Business Hours For SPERRYVILLE CORNER STORE Sperryville, Va. are Monday through Friday—7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday—7 a.m. through 8 p.m. Sunday—8:30 a.m. through 2 p.m. YOUR PATRONAGE IS APPRECIATED Pat’s bigger pieces, like quality reproductions anywhere, sell for several hundred dollars. “But handmade furniture is well made, and there are people to whom that’s important. They are willing to pay.” THE BIGGS read area newspapers for sale listings. Pat tries to pick up his lumber at auction or by hearing, word-ofmouth, that someone has a barn full of old lumber that he’d like to get rid of. Pat’s basement workshop is equipped with a joiner, router, a band saw, a radial arm saw, a mitre saw, latches and planes. Some of Pat’s tools belonged to his father, also a craftsman, and who first taught Pat about working with wood. Each of the saws or big tools sits atop its own little cherry table, also made by Pat. The different bits and such are organized neatly in table drawers. Each saw serves a particular function, Pat said, and each bit can change the type of edging or cutting done by the router. Pat’s well-equipped shop has come in handy since the new house was started. Although a carpenter has done much of the construction and brick work, to get the house “under roof,” Pat plans to finish the inside and do the “decorative work” on the outside, such as pilasters on either side of the front door, dentals around the eaves, and wooden vents in the gables of the roof. He also designed and made the basement windows and will do the same for the cupola. Pat said he’s not a brick - mason, but he’s done some fancy work on the porch floor, laying the bricks in a diagonal pattern. “Like the furniture, the house is something I couldn’t have unless I could do most of the work myself. Ginger and I both enjoy craft things, and we can put our hobbies to work on the house.” AS MIGHT be expected, the new house includes well-lighted and spacious workrooms for both Ginger and Pat—a shop for him and a sewing room for her. The Biggs selected the “Dutch colonial” house because the gambrel roof line wastes less space than other types, Pat said. But before he started on the house, Pat made a “trial run,” by building a barn, also in the Dutch colonial, gambrel roof style. “I’ve had a lot of help on the house, but I did more than 99% of the work on that barn,” Pat said. “I even made the windows.”□ Drawing blueprints for the cupola he’ll make for the new house he’s building, Pat Biggs sits at a desk he made.

Stream ‘adoption’plan is described JACK LORENZ, executive director of the Izaak Walton League of America, explained the League’s “Save Our Streams” program to members of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection last Friday night, held at the courthouse in Washington. When an individual or a group “adopts” a stream under the Save Our Stream Banner, they agree to survey the watercourse, monitor its quality and take steps to enhance its scenic and environmental values, on a year-round basis, Lorenz said. One outstanding feature about the SOS project is that people of all ages and all levels of knowledge can get involved, he noted. “Youngsters, or people who have done no previous background in water pollution problems, can start by removing debris, litter and just cleaning up in general, along the stream bed and banks,” Lorenz said. “Older people or those with more sophisticated knowledge about the problem can actually test the water and start taking citizen action against the polluters. This may eventually lead to court, but often just the noise, bringing to public attention what’s being done to the stream and the threat of action, spurs the polluter to correct what he’s doing.” Lorenz explained that an individual or group registers the section of stream they adopt with the Izaak Walton League. “It’s then* plotted on a large map so that the League can make sure no two people or groups would be working on the same section.” IN MANY states, the Department of Natural Resources, is beginning to work with us, to help co-ordinate the program, Lorenz said. “This is especially true in Maryland where we have registered around 75 stream adoptions.” The program is now moving into Virginia, he noted. “We have an application from a man over near Luray to adopt a small section of the Hawksbill River—small, but it’s just where an industrial plant dumps its refuse into the stream. So he’ll have a still bigger job once he cleans up the debris.” There are indications that a stream in Prince William County will be adopted soon, Lorenz added. “But what can he do?” Eileen Day asked. “The man over near Luray.” “He can start by making noise,” Lorenz said. “And checking what that industry has done to comply with EPA standards.” THE SECTION of stream that’s adopted doesn’t have to be large to be significant, Lorenz emphasized several times. “The important thing is to follow through, keep the stream clean, helping to improve the fish or nearby animal habitat, and, perhaps most important, getting organized. “In this way, it’s a good program just to learn the ropes of activism. The issue this year might be a clean stream, it could be a powerline or a highway next,” he said. “You’re learning to solve the problem by working within the system.” “How do you handle the fact that the stream might run through somebody’s property?” Mrs. Day “This is probably one of the most difficult problems within the program,” Lorenz said. “It’s sometimes touchy. I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to deal with this diplomatically. You can’t just run in and do your thing. That could really set the program back.” “Most landowners are amenable to it, once it’s explained,” Lorenz said. “WOULD A local organization that adopted a stream have to affiliate with the Izaak Walton League?” Phil Irwin asked. “There are no strings attached,” Lorenz said. “We’re not pressing for members, we’re trying to get as many streams as possible cleaned up. “But we’ll help refer you to the right people or agencies, to help you with your work.” “Streams have been viewed too long as discharge pipes,” he said. “By improving one stream that empties into a tributary to the Potomac, we’re improving, just a bit, the quality of the Chesapeake Bay. Streams are the lifelines of many natural cycles,” Lorenz said. “And Virginia has an intricate system of streams and watersheds, endangered by siltation from increasing urbanization and development, industrial pollu tion, and even farm pollution like fertilizer runoff.” Howard Holschuch demonstrated a small kit that RLEP members or anyone interested could order to test streams for the presence of several chemicals. A small amount of water taken from the stream is allowed to sit for several minutes after being treated with a special chemical. The pollution level can be determined by measuring the color of the water against the standard gradient in another small vial. PETE LUKE described the work that has been done by the Sperryville Community Group to revise the recommendations an engineering firm made to the State Water Control Board about a sewage treatment facility for Sperryville. The proposals were planned for an area with more population and greater growth potential, Luke said. “And they failed to note that the urban and regional solutions are not the best answer for a small town in a rural area. Luke noted that the State Water Control Board now acknowledged that a small town deserves a “unique solution,” partly because of the work of the Sperryville Community Group. Captain Holschuch reminded RLEP members and their guests as the meeting adjourned, “We must remember, there are two things we want to make perfectly clear, our rivers and our streams.”—Pekay Pettus SatinTone UVDt HOUH MMT SatinTone IASIX OiOflS HOUSI MM you work less, while they work better LOW SHEEN BEAUTY It brushes easily, dries in minutes while tools wash up in water, and lasts for years and years.

Grosset-Jones wedding THE MARRIAGE of Miss Suzanne Gay Grosset to Edward Moffett Jones Jr. took place June 8, 1974, at the Washington Baptist Church. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Garnet Wolseley Grosset of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. Mr. Jones is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Moffett Jones of Washington, Va. The Rev. John S. Farrar of Culpeper officiated at the double ring ceremony. Kenneth L. Denton of Culpeper was organist. The bride’s father gave her in marriage. She wore a classic gown of white organza. Pearled Peaud’ange outlined the romance neckline with a sheer yoke and trimmed the waist and hemline. A Brussells embroidered lace flounce edged the wrists and skirt which flowed into a chapel train.

Allie Payne left a lot of friends BY ED HARRIS THEY BURIED Allie Payne last week in the beautiful Flint Hill Methodist Church Cemetery. Allie Payne was in his eighties and he left behind a wondrous progeny of married daughters and sons, of granddaughters and grandsons and even great great grandchildren. But he left more. He left enduring memories of a weathered, staunch little man who was far more concerned with the condition of the fencing on the Graves Brothers cattle farm, where he lived and worked for nearly half a century, than the latest maneuvers of White House lawyers. He left visions of a brave and conscientious man astride his old dependable white horse checking the cattle in a drenching thunderstorm, sometimes visible only in lightning flashes while we neighbors huddled in the safety of our homes. Sometimes he would ride his faithful white horse to church on Sundays, and sometimes he would walk. When we would offer him a lift on spotting him along the highway he would always softly refuse. “Rather walk, thanks.” It was eight miles to and from Flint Hill. Right up to the end, he would ride his horse or walk there, occasionally to buy groceries at Bradford’s store. The horseback riding and the walking and his farm chores helped keep him healthy, but several months ago he suffered a heart attack and was hospitalized. PRACTICALLY the moment he got out of the hospital and back home, he got back on old friend, the old white horse. The doctors warned him to stay home, to be quiet, not to exert himself, but to no avail. A habit of 50 years is hard to break. Allie was a man of the earth, of the sun and sky, and he was determined to make his rounds as usual. A few days before his death I was whizzing down our Rappahannock road when I saw him plodding along toward me on his horse. He was a little bent over but smiling. I pulled along side. In his hand he clutched a bag of strawberries my wife had picked for him. He said something I could not catch. I leaned closer and this time I heard him. “Found your licehse plate,” he was saying. I had lost it on the road, and a relative of his was holding it for me. THEY BURIED Allie Payne last week, and the good earth lost a friend, but also received a friend. His mourners at the services included not only his family and relatives but longhaired hippies as well as the pillars of the local town. We all loved him, and I can envision Allie forever riding his ancient white horse in the vast Elysian fields, contentedly checking the clouds and the sun’s rays and the moonbeams. His survivors include six daughters, five living sons, 27 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren. □ Si Sez “THE THOUGHTS of boys are long, long thoughts.” Not that I consider myself a boy anymore, just the husk of a man. And that is another thought, a remembered epitaph.— Under the grass and under the trees, Here lies the body of Soloman Pease. Pease is not here, only the pod; Pease shelled out and went home to God. And that is not a bad thought, especially if your name is Pease, or you have friends by that name who have a right relationship with God. The thought I am thinking, that holds me “in its thrall” (Poe ?) is thought about the Law of Karma. We mentioned previously that this is an immutable law of God, “we reap what we sow.” But, does this same law work in reverse, suppose we didn’t sow at the proper time or the proper seed? The song says “sowing seeds ofkindness.” Even kindness sometimes has adverse effects; it will cause some people to take advantage of you. What to do, what to do? Now I want to pose a hypothetical question, I’m using the word hypothetical for want of a better word. Remember, I said HYPOTHETICAL. Question: or maybe hypothesis. A young man is in love with a young girl. Oh, she is beautiful and all that his heart desires is a life partner. But he hasn’t sowed his wild oats or had his fling. Then he realized he is not good enough for her, he hesitates. Maybe she loves him too. She is just waiting for him to settle down. Then two unhappy people marry others for whom they do not have the kind of love that was intended for them to share. Maybe two families have children that are unhappy because the parents are not happy. What kind of karmic debt does that person create? It is too horrendous to contemplate. And how about the lazy lover that just waits for love to fall in his lap. Maybe she was too proud to love one who wouldn’t even speak of the love he felttill too late, he continued to sit, to think, to dream. Dreams of days that have so long been ended. But who was there to whispef, or to see By the rose you tended You leaned, to hide the splendid Smile you kept, and kept in vain for me. Remember now—hypothetical.□.

Baumgardner named building inspector RAPPAHANNOCK Supervisor’s appointed Fanning Baumgardner as building inspector, effective immediately, at their meeting last Thursday. However, they noted that Baumgardner will make no actual inspections until after September 1. Virginia State law requires that each county “shall appoint a building inspector,” Commonwealth’s attorney George Davis noted. ' “Do they specify what will happen if we don’t?” H. B. Wood asked. “No, not exactly,” Davis answered. “Well, I hate another ‘you gotta’ from the state,” Wood said. “I just think we should wait until we get stronger language,” he said. “Not for money reasons, but for freedom.” Pete Luke said he hated for the county to get a reputation of avoiding the code. BAUMGARDNER, who currently serves as assis tant zoning administrator for the county, had looked into what hiring a building inspector would involve, upon an earlier request by the Supervisors. “I’ve checked on what Culpeper and Warren counties do and how the job of building inspector in Rappahannock would compare,’’ Baumgradner said. “Comparing the number of building permits and to the dollar magnitude, I think we would need a building inspector just two days a week, instead of five.” Baumgardner added that he thought the building inspector should be “on call and paid hourly, not work just two set days each week. “That way, the contractors wouldn’t have to hold up construction waiting for an inspection,” he said. “The inspector makes three visits to a house,” Baumgardner explained. “He goes when they’re laying in the footings, mainly to check on how its been sited on the lot, comparing with zoning requirements. He goes again when the framing is up, to look at the wiring, plumbing and machanics. Then he makes a final inspection, to see that everything’s in order. The house can’t be occupied until after that inspection.” H. B. Wood wasn’t so convinced that Rappahannock needed a building inspector. “I can see that it might be a good idea. If I was someone building a house, it would probably be the best thing for me. But I’m not so sure I want it.” “Well, we’ve seen what happens in those large developments.” Pete Luke said. “Yeah, that’s where the building inspector has been on duty,” George Davis said. “Like that building that collapsed in Fairfax. Hie building inspector had said that was okay.” “But I don’t think there are any shysters here yet, ’ ’ H. B. Wood said. Baumgardner said that Rappahannock was one of four counties in Virginia that hadn’t appointed a The explosion ripped the pipe to bits and dug a giant V-shaped hole in the ground. Nearbv houses were evacuated, but no one was injured. building inspector or adopted the state building code. He added that the building inspector would be able to attend courses at state expense. And he emphasized that it was potentially a money-making project for the county. “THE PERMIT fee would be around $2.50 per $1,000 worth of construction, up to $20,000. After $20,000, it would be $2 per $1,000 up to $100,000,” Baumgardner said. H. B. Wood said he still had strong reservations about the whole thing. “What we could do is appoint Fanning, since he is a trained engineer and could be on-call in the zoning office,” George Davis said. “Then you can decide later if you want to adopt the code. “DOES THIS suit you, H. B. ?” Luke saked. “Fanning can help us draw up a worksheet and be ready to go. And he can take ad vantage of the state offered course this summer. But he won’t be making any inspections until after September when we decide for sure.” Wood nodded assent. “Now, does this help ya’ll in answering the mail addressed for the building inspector?” Luke asked. Baumgardner and Davis said it would. □ RED CROSS TOTAL The total funds realized from the recent Red Cross campaign in Rappahannock stands at $879.52, according to a report from cochairman Mrs. Mary Jordan of Flint Hill.D ANNOUNCING OUR VDinnr ac Akicni/'A* dtiiii v/rniTituivn nova.

JOHN WALKER JENKINS AUCTIONEERING SERVICE Sperryville, Virginia 987-8211 Last year’s tax rate retained From Page 1 other bus and driver to get them to the vocational center in Culpeper.” “Another thing, most people probably haven’t taken into account,” Luke said. “Culpeper County has approved 10,500 houses to be built in the next few years. That means they’ll have more of their own kids in that vocational school and they’ll have to expand. Since we participate in the program too, we’ll have to contribute for that capital expansion.” “On top of this, there are some unknowns we have to keep in the back of our minds,” Luke said. “We’ve got a good new zoning ordinance. But the county could always get sued on that. I hope not; I’m not assuming it will happen, but it’s happening in other places.” “SO I’M not ready to dig into our budget surplus,” Luke said. “I’m going over all this with you so that we can be in the same ballpark on our thinking. I know what you want to say about raises for teachers, about the cost of living. I know every arguement you’re going to make and I’m already willing to concede them.” “But let’s think about this thing together a little more. We have some budget income this year from revenue sharing,” Luke said. “But that’s one of those programs the federal government started with no promise that it will continue past next year. Plus our contract with the trash pick-up service runs over every year. We’re doing all we can to avoid that. We have Pitch In—recycling, collecting the old cars, everything—but it still runs over.” “The welfare office says they need two more employes in order to handle Unsk. CoOivVr^ Casual,eUj<~T ■hueci. Wk u*p«rwfcJ»4ft*ljf>tkaMl wake cm*~ uiff4Toilwi>»n3fA-. Ofck*i£& Ja STOREof washing^ the new food stamp program. We didn’t agree. We thought the same number of people working more efficiently could handle it. Or the same number of different people. So we cut that request, too.” “THE LIBRARY says they’ve got to have $2,000 more just to operate Chapter 10 mental health says they need more too. But we cut them both to what they were,” Luke said. “But looking back at the schools, it would be better in the future if capital improvements could be laid out with some priority— not just a mobile classroom this year, a roof over the vocational place this month,” Luke said. “Give us an idea of the overall plan.” “We don’t want to get in the business of running the schools. That’s your job and we don’t want to tell you how to do it,” Luke continued. “But we do need the information. Perhaps we should set up some sort of a liason.” School Superintendent O.A. Norton said the school board “appreciated” the Supervisors comments on closer co-ordination. “But we would like to see some restoration of the $48,200 cut. We’d like to get at least $12,200 more for instruction, to hire a ‘physed’ and health teacher for the elementary school and a portion for salary increases. If we get behind our neighbors, we’ll have to play catch up. We had to do that before.” “We’re also crowded. We use the cafeteria during all periods except the lunch hour. We use the gym at the high school for music classes. And physed and music are not the most compatible neighbors,” Norton said. “WE KNOW that the number of students in the high school will increase during the next five years and then stabilize,” he added, noting that “we don’t want to overbuild but will need some capital expansion during the next few years.” School Board member E.N. Montague asked Norton to explain to the Supervisors what happens when they “zero out” a category. “When you omit entirely funds for one category, like capital improvements it means we can’t buy an additional* desk, filing cabinet or typewriter,” the superintendent said. George Graham, president of the Rappahannock Education Association, read a prepared statement, supporting Norton’s request that part of the budget cut be restored. “We, the teachers of Rappahannock County, were much distressed to learn that the school board budget...had been cut to the degree it was. Along with this feeling of distress was the ‘Catch-22’ feeling that the Supervisors probably had to cut from the budget that, they no doubt disliked doing it as much as we disliked it being done.” Graham wanted a restoration of the funds that would “restore the school budget item called capital outlay, which many people seem to think just means new buildings. They are wrong; it also means shades, pencil shapeners, electrical and plumbing repairs, and desks. It is impossible to have any sort of education, let alone top ‘quality education; without some sort of funds of capital outlay. We are not even requesting that money be added to this unit for a modular classroom, though the most naive optimists would have to admit that the Rappahannock High School is grossly overcrowded in many classes.” “CLASS LOADS are good at 25 per pupils per classroom, manageble at 30 and virtually impossible, with present teaching methods, See Page 19 SOUTH WALES SWIM CLUB is now open for business.

Last year’s tax rate retained by Board From rage vl at over 30,” Graham continued. “And many classes at the high school have more than 30.” The Education Association also recommended hiring one “phy-ed” teacher for the 750 students in elementary school, emphasizing that other teachers would then be al lowed to set aside 30 minutes a day for a planning period. “Teaching has changed; no longer does a teacher sit behind a desk and say ‘Do page 44. ’ Quality education demands that each student progress at his own rate...Thus a different daily program is needed for each child, this takes time.. “As the system stands today, no teacher has more than two ten minute bathroom breaks a day. No, gentlemen, the day does not end at 3:30. To do the job that will be most effective for the individual child, teachers must spend several hours per evening planning and evaluating... “The school board requested a 6.5% teacher salary increase which was slashed down to 5.5% by the Supervisors. In light of the 10% increase in the cost of living, we do not think 6.5% is exorbitant.” “THE STATEMENT has been made by one governing member that teachers are overpaid. Gentlemen, my take-home weekly pay after four years of teaching is about $110. I hardly think I’m being overpaid in view of the fact that I have invested approximately $10,000 and four years of study to become a teacher. A street cleaner in Washington, D. C. makes more than I do. For this reason you will find that many teachers, especially male teachers with families, are leaving the Rappahannock system...” Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis said that “five or six years ago there / was a differential of benei fits and pay for Rappahannock teachers, compared with those in other area counties, of more than several hundred dollars. Newbill Miller and myself personally insisted on an increase to meet other counties. Now we’re going back to the same situation. It’s a decreasing return on our investment not to pay enough to get good teachers.” “I agree with what you’re thinking,” Pete Luke told , Graham and Davis. ‘‘But I look at these neighboring counties like Fauquier— which has a $10 million budget compared to our $1.8 million budget. From these state statistics on counties in this area, we rank second or third after Fauquier in teacher benefits. “We’re between a rock and a hard spot,” Luke went on. “We haven’t got much budget but I haven’t heard many people tell me they want a tax increase.” “Well, I’d rather have a tax increase and I no longer have a child in the school system,” George Davis said. “I AGREE with Mr. Davis,” Liz Scherschell said. “I have one child in the school system now. What we pay in taxes by no means cover educating that one child. I think the school board budget should be restored, in toto.” Mrs. Lynne Baines said she is a “teacher, taxpayer and parent. How can you expect to get away with a stable tax rate?” she asked. Bill Harrison suggested that a need for “longer range planning” was probably needed. “But why must Rappahannock always be a follower?” H. L. Manwaring, also a school board member, said that “quality education” is essential to this county. In view of the costof-living increase and other costs, we can’t continually hold the tax rate at $4.10.” Luke said that one problem in trying to increase teacher’s salaries is the general public’s feeling that teachers only work for 10 months. “THAT MAY be what the public thinks, I agree,” Nancy McCoy said. “But you could try to inform them that it’s not that way, so they’d understand an increase.” “They ought to be informed,” Luke agreed.

That’s something the Education Association could do.” “The Supervisors should be able to tell why there’s an increase when they’re asked,” George Graham said. Luke noted that there was only a 4.8% salary increase for state employes this year. “I’m not impressed with the sagacity of people in Richmond who say inflation is 4.8% and then saddle us with programs we can’t afford,” Manwaring said. Luke complimented the teaching staff of Rappahannock County schools. “We can see from the state tests that the students from this high school measure as well as any others.” “That reflects the dedication of the teachers, not that they’re underpaid,” several teachers quickly said. “AND I’M not sure whit that means when I also know that 50% of the students I send to the 8th grade will drop out before they finish high school,” Mrs. Baines said. Catherine Arne told the Supervisors that teaching was a full year profession. “For most teachers the summer is used to go back to school, at your own expense, to study things that will help you improve your classroom work for next year. The Supervisors accepted Superintendent Norton’s request for a $15,200 increase to the budget, noting that $5,900 of this comes from county funds. The remainder is matched by the state. “MRS. JAMIESON, would you like to explain to us the library request?” Pete Luke asked. “It’ll be like opening a pinball sideshow next to the world series, after the school budget,” she laughed. Mrs. Jamieson explained that failure by the county to appropriate more funds for the library might mean that the library would not be able to remain open the minimum hours per week to qualify for membership in the Virginia State .Library Association. This would mean a decrease in state funds, Mrs. Jamieson added. “This could mean that Rappahannock’s library will no longer be a functioning public facility,” Mrs. Jamieson said. “In that case, county residents will have to drive a round trip of at least 50 miles to get a book. The Culpeper library has told us that they have an increasing demand for library materials within Culpeper County. So if our school students need research materials they will have to wait, Culpeper must be served first.” “We have tried to staff the library with volunteer help. I expect’nearly everyone in this room has been asked,”-Mrs. Jamieson said. “But people just don’t have as much time as they used to. It seems every woman has less time after her children grow up than she did when they were young.” Mrs. Jamieson said that the Library Board was asking the county for an increase of approximately $2,000 over last year’s donation. However, the Supervisors agreed to appropriate only the amount they had last year. THE REV. Ronald Wiley spoke on behalf of Chapter 10 of mental health program. The Supervisors had said earlier that they would raise the $1500 donation made by the county to Chapter 10 by only $500. “When we got into this thing, we thought that it would help retarded children,” Luke said. “But now it appears that it’s become an umbrella for alcoholics. I agree that it’s a mental health problem and it’s good to have the program. But I don’t know that the cure rate, as it effects us, is worth the money. We’d like to give more but you realize we have a $1.8 million budget against some of the other member counties that have more. Maybe we’ll sit back and see how it gets moving to see how much it’ll benefit us.” “You’re overlooking sharing,” Mr. Wiley said. “Is it right for us to sit back and watch what happens?
