Rappahannock News, September 12, 1974

Volume XXV, Number 45 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1974 Ski area in trouble Rappahannock won't be open this winter BARRING AN unlikely economic miracle, Rappahannock Ski Area will not open this winter. Last winter’s mild weather brought the operation to the brink of bankruptcy — although James Moore, president of the operating firm, was careful to skirt the fateful word in a meeting with creditors last Friday. On all other matters involving the Ski Area, however, he was unreservedly candid. The Ski Area is carrying debts in excess of S600.000. some §112,000 of that "unsecured." and the rest in investments forwarded by its companion firm. Camelback of Pennsylvania, and in first, second and third mortgages. Moore said Rappahannock Ski Area's financial condition is by no means unique among ski areas. Last winter’s mild weather led to 15 ski operation bankruptcies in the New England states, and Camelback itself "had difficulties." "My hope last April,” said Moore last Friday, at a meeting held at the vacant and electricityless main ski lodge near Washington. "was that we would be able to find some corporation— whether another ski area or some industry—who would be willing to lease the area this year.” But it hasn’t happened, and arranging a lease for someone else to operate the Rappahannock area is the only way it could be opened this year, Moore said. It would take from $50,000 to $75,000 in "working capital” just to open this Annual house tour planned THE ANNUAL House Tour and Sale of dried flower arrangements sponsored by the Episcopal Women of Bromfield Parish is scheduled for the weekend of October 19 and 20. Tour hours are Saturday from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. and Sunday 1 p.m. until 5. A flower sales room will be located in the parish hall of Trinity Episcopal Church, Washington. Homes open for the tour will be Clifton, owned by Dr. and Mrs. Robert J. Rodgers, and located on Route 729 from Flint Hill; Bessie Belle Farm belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Rowland Evans Jr., located near Castleton and Laurel Hill, home of Mr. and Mrs. C.W. Fannon Jr. on Route 618 at Laurel Mills.Lj winter, “and we have no way to raise it,” he told the creditors’ meeting. JIM MOORE, IN talking about the area’s difficulties, could almost recount last winter’s weather day - by-day, weekend-by-weekend. “We had a great February last year,” he said. “We got the weather, we got good publicity.” For a few days there, things were looking up. Then it thawed. Again. “With all ski areas in a precarious financial state, because they had the same weather, it was impossible to get them interested in leasing or joint-venturing Rappahannock for this winter,” he concluded. “We have also had no luck in attracting individual investors. The whole country is in trouble, and the record of losses in the ski industry made our effort absolutely useless.” While still optimistic about Rappahannock, Moore had few hopes for the immediate future. “I still feel, and so does Camelback, that there is a long-term potential here, if we can keep it out of total bankruptcy.” Hence, the meeting—the latest in a series—with the creditors. Moore also told of a meeting of “community leaders” whereby several possible methods of “keeping the area operating” were explored, in eluding year-round camping, hiking and picnicking operations. “WHILE THE SKI area won’t be operated this winter,” said Jim Moore, “it might be operated in various recreational ways in the coming summer season. Then, if ski operations improve, there would be a chance of someone leasing the area the following winter.” He warned the creditors, however: “Even if these things occur, I cannot see any substantial income over the next two years. Even to hang on, to pay real estate taxes and interest on the first mortgage, we’ve had to make deals for second and third mortgages. It’s a very black situation, that’s all.” Moore did have an offer to make the creditors, which he said his lawyers had told him would require 100 per cent consent, in writing, by all 70-odd creditors within 30 days—or by October 7. Under his proposal, Rappahannock Ski Area would pay the unsecured creditors ten percent by December 31 of this year, another ten per cent by June 1, 1976, and over the next three years, ten per cent a year, until 50 per cent of the indebtedness had been paid. The remaining 50 per cent would be paid the following June 1. “Your only assurance is the first payment, and to raise that we will sell some of the loose equipment we have, such as rental skis See Page 14 Kramer succeeds Mayor Davis Mrs. Dorothy Davis tendered her resignation from the office of Mayor of the Town of Washington at the September meeting Tuesday night of the Town Council. Mr. and Mrs. David have moved out of the town limits and she will no longer be eligible for this seat. Stepping up to Mayor will be Peter Kramer, who was elected in May to the council for a first term. At the first meeting follow ing the election he was unanimously elected vice mayor by his associates, and automatically assumes the role of mayor at this time. Primary business on the agenda at the Tuesday meeting were questions of play-ground improvements and street signs. Swings on the playground have been restored and a large sandpile will soon become a reality.□ Harvesting corn and filling the silo, whether trench or standing, is keeping the farmers occupied in Rappahannock right now. This corn harvesting was taking place Tuesday on the Eastham’s farm at Huntly. Cutting, chopping and hauling is all done in one operation.

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Plan carefully ONCE AGAIN, and on the basis of the evolving evidence, we would like to state our skepticism about wedding the county’s future too closely to some set of colored maps labeled, collectively, “Master Plan.’’ All of the arguments about Master Plans being “necessary,” for “growth control” and for qualifying for federal and state grants—we know all about that. We know all about the faith some bureaucratic types have in the abstract notion of “planning”; we certainly subscribe to the broadest concept of the need for, say, controlling development to where it is most desirable and manageable. Call it planning or zoning or site control, or subdivision regulation, it is obvious that things can’t be allowed to just pop up, like Topsy, and hope for the best. But these formal, structured “Master Plans,” complete with stated “goals” and elaborate “criteria” formulas, complicated maps (which seem to have legal standing in one instance and none in another), extravagant “growth” projections, grandiose freeway and utility schemes—no sir, count us as being definitely unenthusiastic about that sort of “Master Plan.” THE PIEDMONT Environmental Council planner who appeared before the Board of Supervisors last week summed up, unintentionally, one sort of planning pitfall we’d rather see Rappahannock County avoid. “We want to help Rappahannock answer three questions,” asa serted the PEC’s W.P. Dinsmoor White. “Should the county grow? How much should it grow? And where to channel that growth?” That’s not three questions— its one answer. And we’re not sure it’s the answer Rappahannock citizens or officials are interested in. The survey conducted by the Rappahannock County Extension Office back in early summer was a lot more forthright in addressing this point. That survey found that a substantial majority of ordinary citizens and “community leaders” alike want Rappahannock to stay “like it is,” and by that they meant “natural beauty, rural character, open space and agriculture.” That’s something apart from White’s “answer,” and—in our opinion—a whole lot more accurate in describing the framework under which Rappahannock should plan for its future. WHETHER A rigid, formal, elaborately structured “Master Plan” would fit Rappahannock’s needs is something that demands a lot more study before the county’s fate is committed to a set of planners’documents. The recent experience in Fauquier, where a vaunted “Master Plan” purportedly designed to “control growth” was revealed as actually something which was intended, all along, to foster development, only underscores the point. Be careful, Rappahannock. Those gaily-colored Master Plans can be mighty tricky things.□ Amissville homecoming * Homecoming will be observed -Sunday, September 15 at the Skmissville United Methodist Xhurch.

JUDKINS Virginia Tech Extension Horticulturist A SHOCKING BOOK is “Famine 1975” by William and Paul Paddock. This book is concerned with the tremendous problem of feeding the exploding population of the world, and especially in the underdeveloped nations. In fact, the authors say it cannot be done, and that within the next ten years, disastrous famines will occur in many countries. This book is not intended as a scare campaign. It is sad realism. The authors emphasize that we are approaching a turning point in human affairs which is so immense we cannot appreciate its true significance. The exploding population seems, to be related more to a rapidly decreasing death rate, than to an increase in the birth rate. The effectiveness of modern medicine has been eagerly accepted by people all over the world. Asa result, the life span in many countries has nearly doubled during recent decades. On the other hand, efforts to reduce the birth rate have met with very little success except in a few isolated situations. In terms of the agricultural part of this problem, most people are inclined to think something will turn up to avert the famines. The authors of this book believe this is not the case. They have talked with experts in many fields and no easy solutions were suggested. SYNTHETIC FOODS might help, but they are produced primarily from other agricultural products, or do not please the taste. Most of us accept new types of food quite reluctantly. Food from the oceans would seem to have promise, but here again, the experts say a big increase from this source is not likely. Looking directly to agriculture, the opportunities for large increases in food production are remote. Most farmers in the more developed countries are already using relatively good production methods. The introduction of such practices into undeveloped countries. and the breeding of new crops which are better adapted to their soil and climatic conditions, would be much too slow to provide the huge amount of additional food needed. The authors say that new and unique developments in research, fertilizers, or irrigation are not likely to have an important beneficial effect on the situation. Also, most of the best agricultural land is already in use. To bring unused land into production would be quite expensive, and low, unprofitable yields would be secured. THE AUTHORS review the important role that U.S. agriculture has played in the past in providing food for other nations. They include some interesting philosophical and political observations on the effects of our distribution of surplus food. They point 'out however that we now have relatively small surpluses and cannot possibly provide the food that will be needed to prevent famine in future years. So. the home vegetable and fruit garden may become increasingly more important in the future. Food production from such hobbies may be very helpful in improving the nutritional level of our diet. Such activities will not only provide beneficial exercise, but could provide essential f°od in many parts of the world.— OETTINGER RETURNS Dr. Katherine B. Oettinger recently returned to her home in Canterbury from Bucharest, Roumania, where she attended the United Nations World Population Conference held August 19 through 30.

H E L I T T L E F 0 X County’s jail is now a ‘lock-up’ RAPPAHANNOCK’S Sheriff John Walker Jenkins told the Supervisors he had two things to discuss with them at their meeting last Thursday—his “present situation,” and a regional jail. The “present situation” needed immediate attention, the sheriff said. Jenkins told the Supervisors that the Rappahannock County jail is currently operating contrary to state standards. Mr. Gibbs, state superintendent for jails, was present to answer Supervisors’ questions about new state standards. “We are operating now as a jail, but the rules have gotten so strict that we can’t operate as a jail any more,” Sheriff Jenkins began. “But the rules are more lenient if you operate as a lockup instead of a jail. It we try to operate as a jail, with the new state standards, we’d need four or five more correctional officers. And you know as well as I do, we don’t have enough prisoners in the Rappahannock County jail to hire that many people.” John Walker Jenkins said. ‘‘If we become a lock-up we’d only need one more deputy.” In a ‘‘lock-up,” the prisoners are only held for a maximum of 24 hours before being transferred to a jail—probably, in Rappahannock’s case, to Fauquier County. Sheriff Jenkins said an extra deputy would be necessary under the lock-up program in order for someone to remain on duty at the Rappahannock jail and refer calls while the other deputy transferred a prisoner to Warrenton. During the time a prisoner is detained in the lock-up, he must have constant supervision, with cell checks every 30 minutes, Jenkins added. WHOEVER IS ON duty at the jail must remain there, not go out on calls or to transfer prisoners. “There is no way in the world, with one full-time deputy, that we can operate under these new requirements,” John Walker Jenkins told the Supervisors,” even as a lock-up.” The Supervisors wanted to know how many prisoners the Rappahannock jail had during a year. “We’ve had 109 prisoners for a total of 654 prisoner days since January,” Jenkins said. “Why do they have to have such constant supervision? We’ve never had any breakouts at the Rappahannock jail,” Supervisor Herbert Foster said. “And where does this deputy that's doing the supervision have to be? Can he be downstairs asleep?” Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis asked. “I’d rather let Mr. Gibbs explain it all to you,” John Walker Jenkins said, motioning to the state official to come take a chair at the Supervisors’ table. “THE NEW STATE regulations require that any time there is a prisoner in jail, or in a lock-up until he’s transferred to a jail, he must have constant supervision and should be checked every half hour,” Gibbs said. ‘‘Of course, we are reasonable. If it’s 2 or 3 o’clock in the morning and a man is normal, we realize you can allow more than a half hour between checks. Now if he’s brought in late, and he’s drunk, you must check him every half hour to make sure he’s sobering up and not trying to commit suicide.” ‘‘Do you want the dollars and cents?” John Walker Jenkins asked Chairman Pete Luke. “If we’ve got to talk about money, I guess we do,” Luke said. John Walker said that the state would pay two-thirds of the costs of salaries for four additional people, if the county opted for a jail. The state would pay one third of a new deputy’s salary if the county decided to operate as a lock-up. ‘‘flow’d this all come about?” Herbert Barksdale asked of Gibbs. ‘‘Were people dying in the jails?” Gibbs explained that the American Civil Liberties Union had brought suit against the Virginia Department of Corrections and the suit is still pending. ‘‘So, when we go back into court, we want to show (federal) Judge Merhige that we have taken steps to upgrade.” Gibbs said that new standards had come into effect some months ago, but it was the pending litigation that had prompted state prison officials to ‘‘get out and make the push” to see that the requirements are actually being implemented. “WE NEED stricter laws or something. This whole thing is a breakdown,” Herbert Barksdale said, shaking his head. “About the new deputy: Do you tend to have more breakouts during transfers from lock-ups?” “Escape is a small problem within the prison system,” Gibbs said. “And security is probably even tighter at a small jail like this than at larger ones, like in Richmond.” “We have been recommending twice-a-day transfer,” Gibbs said. But he noted that a lock-up had to be stocked with bedding supples, in case some prisoners did remain in for 24 hours before transfer, or were arrested after the afternoon transfer had been made. “Why have we got to have all that?” Supervisor Herbert Foster asked. “Well, you or I could wind in a lock-up for the night if we were arrested on something and couldn't produce the bond, and you wouldn’t appreciate it if you had to sleep on that cold metal,” Gibbs said. “Why not? 1 don’t care if he sleeps on the cement floor,” Pete Luke said, adding another comment to the effect that conditions inside a jail shouldn’t be made to look more attractive than “outside.” “I WOULDN’T appreciate being locked up if they gave me satin bedding,” Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis said. * H.B. Wood wondered how soon the 109 prisoners that had been in the Rappahannock jail this year had gotten out on bond. “Well, there’s 109 prisoners and 600some prisoner days. I suppose it’d average out to something like five days a prisoner,” John Walker Jenkins said. Jenkins renewed his plea for another deputy. “It’s not for pleasure that we have to run over to Warrenton. We wouldn’t make a special trip for everyone. We try now to get two or three together before going. But you don’t realize—some of these prisoners will have to be brought back here for court three or four times.” “I’m happy with the way it is,” Jenkins said. “But all this is what the state law says.” PETE LUKE NOTED that Sheriff Jenkins, Judge Rayner Snead and Fauquier Sheriff Luther Cox had gotten together and worked out the current arrangement, in which any long-term Rappahannock prisoners are taken to Fauquier. “So even though they got together and worked all that out, it’s not acceptable to the state?” Pete Luke asked of Gibbs and Jenkins. John Walker Jenkins shook his head. “What I need from you is a letter saying that we have gone to the lock-up, and one more deputy.” H.B. Wood said, “Now you don’t have to have an extra deputy. The state doesn’t say that. You just need a letter saying we’ve gone See Page 13 Young men between the ages of 18 and 36 who would like to belong to the finest young men's organization in Virginia . . .

‘Environmental inventory’ is considered RAPPAHANNOCK’S Supervisors will be present at the County Planning Commission’s meeting September 18 to talk about hiring the Piedmont Environmental Council to undertake “an environmental inventory and analysis.” The Planning Commissioners think that such a study would be a good first step towards drafting the county’s first comprehensive plan. The Planning Commission has $500 on hand to pay for the study, which would cost the county $1,500, so they have requested that the Supervisors appropriate the rest of the money. W.P. Dinsmoor White, executive director of PEC, attended the Supervisors’ meeting last Thursday to explain the purpose of an “environmental inventory and analysis.” White had talked to the Supervisors at their August meeting, but they’d asked him to come back this month and bring some more materials, to “make a presentation.” “We want to help Rappahannock answer three questions,” White said. “Should the county grow? How much should it grow? And where to channel that growth?” He laid out a number of maps on the table before the Supervisors. “These maps show the type of thing we want to do. First we evaluate the capability of the soils in different areas for development. We project scenic areas, decide which have the highest value and which we ought to try to protect. We also take into consideration watersheds and wildlife habitat. These are all shown on the maps.” “From this we decide where the growth should go, which soils are most suitable for farming or development—that kind of thing,’ White continued. “It’s on this point that we have to decide what our priorities are, because the land that’s most suitable for agriculture is often most suitable for development.” “AREN’T WE fortunate here, in that a complete soil survey of Rappahannock was done several years ago?” Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis asked. “It was done,” Pete Luke said. “But it hasn’t really been interpreted.” Dinsmoor White agreed. “There’s no interpretation except for agricultural purposes. We would be taking that and providing an interpretation for other kinds of land use.” White noted that characteristics other than soil types would also be considered. He said the existing soil survey is a bit awkward to use. “You have to re fer back to the index for each separate thing. We’d provide all that information out where you could see it at one time.” Pete Luke wasn’t sure, but he seemed to be in favor of the study, ‘‘We need to get our comprehensive plan structured so it will stand up. Madison just had to go out and spend $17,000 and Fauquier spent a million and a half, to improve their comprehensive plans.” Luke suggested that the Supervisors might want to meet with the Planning Commission at the Planners’ next meeting. “Then we can get a better feel as to what they think they need.” “Also, the Planning Commission can read the attitude of the governing body,” George Davis said, adding, “We’re not in as bad a situation as Madison and some of-the others.” “DO I TAKE IT you’d rather not have us present at that meeting?” White asked. “Yes; I’d rather you not be present,” Luke said. “I’m sure you understand. There are some things we need to talk over between the two boards. But we appreciate your coming up here today.” In other planning matters, Luke told the Supervisors that Keith Curry at Peola Mills had some property that was designated as “flood plain” on the county zoning map.” He’d like to have it rezoned for agriculture.” George Davis said that past flooding had deposited nearly 25 feet of gravel over that land. “There’s enough rock on it to have a quarry. The Supervisors agreed. They decided not to grant the rezoning. Don Askew, resident engineer for the Highway Department, told the Supervisors that he’d received confirmation on the secondary road fund allocation. “We will have $502,096, an increase of $11,011 over last year.” “That doesn’t keep up with inflation,” one of the Supervisors commented. “Hardly,” Askew agreed, shaking his head. The engineer said $256,016 would be spent for construction improvements and the rest would be used for maintenance, such as mowing. PETE LUKE had the first question. “What about that road out here where the school bus keeps running into the ditch?” Askew assured him that the road, which had been discussed at an earlier road hearing, was taken care of. Sean Kilpatrick, who lives on Route 618, noted that the school WANTED SCRAP CAST IRON W# an now paying *2.50 pm cm up 1000 lb*.

Every time the school bus starts . to turn around, that right front tire catches the ditch. My driveway’s in great shape, but the road needs some help,” he said. He suggested that several additional feet of culvert could take care of it. “If something’s not done, by the end of winter there’ll be less road there than there is now,” he said. Kilpatrick also wanted to know when the last traffic count was made on Route 621, the road by his parents’ place. “The last count tnat we nave results from was 1972,” Askew said. “Another was done this spring, but we don’t have the results yet. The count in 1972 was 37 vehicles a day.” “H.B., you’re familiar with that road,” Kilpatrick continued, and H.B. Wood nodded. “Theycutdown the trees, and dragged the ditches, but then the said ditches didn’t get pulled. The road is a disaster area. It looks like a tank trap. The banks have eroded and the said erosion filled in...” “We were told that the people who lived on that road were going to work with us on that,” Askew said. ®What’s the cost going to be?” Kilpatrick asked; $55,000 he was told. “And when’s it going to be finished?” “We hope to finish it as soon as possible,” Askew said. “What happened to the fencing?” Kilpatrick wanted to know. “You got started on that, but then you stopped.” Askew said the road crews worked on it when they could, but had to be taken off that job and used for other projects, too. But it would get finished, he said. “I wonder if it’s worth spending $55,000 on a 37 vehicle a day road?” Kilpatrick said. “Okay, you’ve made your point. You two get together and discuss it,” Pete Luke told Kilpatrick and Askew. “NOW, ON THIS Sperryville project. The Highway wrote me that the project has been deferred, that part of the road through and west of Sperryville, that is,” Luke said. “The article in the paper said that it had been postponed ‘until there is a dire need,’ but the official correspondence I got just says it’s been deferred. It doesn’t mention dire need.” Luke wanted the Supervisors to go on record saying that whenever the project comes up again, they wanted a public hearing first. “We want them to get the voice of the people before anything’s done.” COMPLETE ONE-STOP * Building Supply Hardware Paint Millwork Lumber WARRENTON BUILDING MATERIAL CO., INC.

THE SUPERVISORS discussed two bids they’d received for the job of covering over the Amissville dump with one foot of soil. One bid was $5,700 and the other $5,800. Supervisors Herbert Foster and H.B. Wood thought the bids seemed a bit high, and suggested they be re-advertised. “They won’t seem high when we get a lawsuit from the adjoining property owners who want it cleaned up right away,” J.R. Latham said. George Davis and clerk Ned Jones doubted that the Supervisors could get the job done for less than the bids already offered. But the Supervisors, all except Latham, voted to re-advertise. The two who already applied for the job are invited to submit new bids. Luke said that a member of the state legislature was proposing a study to see if school buses could be used for transportation in rural areas during the hours they weren’t used for transporting school children. “To transport who?” Herbert Foster asked. “The people of this county,” Luke said, “elderly people who need to get places, things like that.” “They seem to get around pretty good,” H.B. Wood said. Luke added that the study would cost the county nothing, the boards of supervisors throughout the state were just being polled for their opinion. The Rappahannock Supervisors voted against the study. “They’re using somebody’s money to make it, our taxes,” Foster said. “We seem to be paying more for studies than anything else.”D (oiwence ] Place Your Trust In Experience Our reputation is built on understanding and integrity.

Present were Mr. and Mrs. George Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Ashby Thornhill, Mary Jane and Linda, Mr. and Mrs. Lee Payne and Jean of Woodville; Mr. and Mrs. Pete Boyd of Madison; Mr. and Mrs. Ronnie Carpenter of Brightwood and Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Payne and Tommy, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Karnes, Steve and Jeff of Culpeper. Mr. and Mrs. Warren Dennis and family of Amissville were Sunday guests of the Rev. Wr. B. Dennis. Mr. and Mrs. George Butler Sr. and Mr. and Mrs. Paul F.

Miss Jean Butler and her brother George Butler, Jr. of Culpeper were Sunday guests of Mr. and Mrs. George Butler, Sr. Sunday dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Cary Thornhill were the Rev. John McKay of Culpeper, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Giles of Slate Mills, and Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Thorn Si Sez “I HAD NO SHOES and complained, till I saw a man who had no feet.” I had a sore heel and complained till I saw a woman who had lost the use of both legs because of multiple sclerosis. She was not complaining; I don’t think I have ever seen a person with a brighter outlook on life. ‘‘Dear God, forgive me when I whine, I can walk and the world is mine.” There is an Indian, Sioux I think, prayer that goes like this: O. Great Spirit, grant that I not criticize my brother till I have walked one moon in his moccasins.” I once thought it was one mile, but a moon seems more appropriate. I don’t suppose Indians knew about miles in their culture, but they did know about time. A moon is from the new moon till the next new moon; twenty-eight days. How many of us can refrain from criticizing someone for four weeks? We seem to be thinking of the art of being ambulatory. Art? Can you imagine what it would be like to be confined to a chair or bed, not being able to walk, run and play? Let us be thankful for our blessings, for physical as well as spiritual, and especially for the Son who WALKED beside blue Galilee.□ 6S ' EARLY'S CARPET SALES & SERVICE LASGf tWLA^My NATIONALLY KNOWN IIANW imported orientals ALSO REMNANTS ffU*f»*f ALEXANDER SMITH RATCRAFT mohawk iarwick MASLAND I RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL BUDGET ■'ERMt » VISIT OUR SHOWROOM OR CALI.

Harmful channelization is described THE HARMFUL effects of stream channelization were explained to members of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection at their meeting last Friday night. A film illustrating the impact downriver on the James from channelization upstream on the Tye and Rockfish Rivers was shown by Newton Ancarrow, who narrated the film and produced it at his own expense. “We’ve gone too far in our cleanup,” he said, “We’ve imposed our sense of neatness and order on nature and it hasn’t worked.” After the floods of Hurricane Camille, long stretches of the Rockfish, Tye and smaller tributaries to the James were channelized to remove debris and to widen and straighten the streambed so that future flood waters could pass through quickly. Initially, this seemed to be a help to landowners along the flood plain in the areas channelized. But bulldozing of the streambed and banks creates a biological desert, Ancarrow said. Suspended sediment is released and the oxygen levels that have supported small aquatic organisms are changed. Nesting habits of larger aquatic life are disturbed. The sediment materials can’t restabilize without the woody rooted plants that the bulldozers removed. “Perhaps the strongest effects are downstream,” Ancarrow said. “The tremendous amount of silt released by channelization of the tributaries increases the cost of purifying the water for the city of Richmond and other downstream population centers and it means that Richmond is confronted with more frequent flooding and higher flood crests.” SINCE THE streambeds are straightened and widened during channelization, flood waters flow through with greater velocity and strength. Thus it takes less rain to cause a flood downstream.” Ancarrow asserted that water supply for the city of Richmond, contained in reservoirs behind several small dams along the James, has been significantly decreased by the sediment from upstream. Thus the reservoirs need to be dredged, as do the harbors downstream. ‘‘Thus,after spending $7 million to channelize the smaller rivers upstream, we’ve spent $7 million to dredge out the silt that the channelization brought about.” He noted another example of bureaucratic contradictions and waste; $5.4 million was spent to develop a park along the James above Richmond and subsequently $1.2 million more was spent to channelize part of that park to remove debris from the flood. The express purpose for building the park was to give visitors a chance to enjoy the natural riverbanks, he added. ‘‘Now there’s a proposal to build floodwalls to protect Richmond from floodwaters. Again, more millions spent without a proper understanding of the reasons upstream for that flooding,” he said. “We’ve got to learn to live with the problem,” he said. •‘Let's not dam and channelize every stream. A natural stream has pools and ripples, rapid and calm stretches due to different size rocks, and the woody plants. It Time to go. . . BACK TO SCHOOL Call now for your STUDENT SCHOOL SUBSCRIPTION #2^0 for the School Term. Mall anywhere in the UJS.A. IName-- NameSchool Address - State-ZipDate to begin subscription can support a variety of fish and other aquatic life. And nature can best prevent floods or heal their damage. The remnants of trees and debris shouldn’t have been removed. Nature can repair a lot faster than our puny efforts.” The film compared portions of the James above Richmond that had been channelized to remove debris after the flood with other portions that had not. Those that were left in the natural state reflect little damage from flood four years ago, while those that man “repaired” are still scarred. Ancarrow said the Army Corps of Engineers is now proposing some 20 dams upstream on the James which will inundate the land they tried to protect from flooding. “We’ve got to remember they have to build dams to stay in business,” Ancarrow said. “And we have to remember that Camille was not an ordinary occurance. Thirty-five inches of rain fell in five hours. That's a world record.” ANCARROW was asked if the farmers along the stream sections that were channelized felt the project helped them. "At first. But at some places where rock berms and walls were built, the first flood to come knocked out the walls and spread them across the fields. They’re not happy now.” Stream channelization is a legitimate tool in limited application, Ancarrow said. "There are laws that forbid this kind of thing that was done after Camille, but the very agencies established to watch and see that these laws aren’t violated are the ones who were responsible for channelizing the stream last time. ALSO APPEARING on the program at RLEP’s meeting was Gerald McCarthy, chairman of the Virginia Council on the Environment. He said that Virginia was one of the “top two or three states” in the country in terms of •‘environmental law on the books.” His agency acts as a co-ordinating body between those state agencies that have an effect on the environment, the Highway Department, the State Water Control Board, the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, the Health Department and others. “We hope to make sure that they implement these laws,” he said. “Until our council was formed, these groups never even talked to one another.” McCarthy also talked about the importance of •'individual participation” in government. “It's amazing how few people actualh take part, and it’s amazing hovs effective those few are,” McCarthy said. RLEP members re-elected Phil Irwin as president and voted to appeal their case against \ epco in the event that the State Corporation Commission finds in favor of the power* company. They agreed to support the study and analysis done by the State Corporation Commission on Vepco's request for a rate increase.— AMISSVILLE NEWS Cherly Poling, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul A.

County jail becomes lock-up From Page 3 to a lock-up.” John Walker Jenkins protested. “Now, no one wants to come up the year before election year and ask for more money to be spent. If I could continue with things the way they are, I would. I’m just telling you what it has to be.” “You can’t use one of your part-time men to transfer?” Wood asked. “We have to give the man in the jail some relief,” Jenkins said. “We can’t work one man seven days and seven nights a week.” “What you’re saying is it takes two men to run a two-man office,” Pete Luke said. “I CAN’T SEE for the life of me why it takes more deputies to operate a lock-up than it does to operate the jail we have now,” George Davis said. “I’m not asking you. I’m telling you what it takes to make it legal,” John Walker said. State prison official Gibbs noted, “I can’t go into court as a witness if this county was taken to court over its jails and defend you as operating under state standards. One man cannot give the supervision state law requires.” Gibbs said that the state requirements had not been strictly enforced in Rappahannock. “We’ve never come out here and pushed for a cook, or teachers, or rehabilitation personnel, or an LPN pn duty at all times. It’s been mandatory for some time, but we haven’t pushed for it.” But the State Department of Corrections is “pushing” the requirements now, especially since litigation is still pending in court. “What happened there; why were you sued?” Pete Luke asked. The inmate who brought suit claimed he was not afforded the kind of treatment he should have been, Gibbs said. “What happened? He didn’t get a nurse when he wanted one?” Luke said. Gibbs said the grounds for the suit were broad and complicated and he couldn’t elaborate, but he emphasized again that the Department of Corrections wants to be able to show that improvements have been made in the state system when they go back before Federal Judge Merhige. Several Supervisors wondered out loud if State Troopers couldn’t be used to help transport the prisoners from the proposed lock-up in Rappahannock to the state approved jail in Fauquier. John Walker Jenkins didn’t think that would work at all. “The Troopers that work Rappahannock also work Shenandoah and Page. What happens if we call one up and get him to transfer a prisoner, and while he’s in Warrenton he gets a call to respond immediately to an accident in Mt. Jackson?” JENKINS SAID again: ‘‘I’m only asking to comply with what the state law is.” He told the Supervisors that Madison County has ‘‘five dispatchers that work around the clock.” The Rappahannock Sheriff’s department has no dispatchers, but members communicates among themselves by using the State Troopers’ radio. ‘‘But even if we had the dispatchers, we couldn’t serve as a jail. We’ve got no cook,, no jailers. And I’m only asking for one-third of a deputy’s salary.” By state law, John Walker Jenkins noted, his department could have hired two additional deputies during the past two years, but he asked for none. “You have to remember, the sheriff’s department is on call 24 hours a day, and sometimes we’re running two or three calls behind,” Sheriff Jenkins said. “I’ve toured jails all over, and we don’t have a radio system, we furnish our own cars, and the cooks come free, and I’m just asking for onethird of a deputy’s salary,” he repeated. Pete Luke wondered if expenses incurred by the sheriff’s department under the present operation would go down once the county jail became a lock-up. “Like, would the food bill go down?’’ Luke wanted to know, suggesting that saving on this kind of expenditure might help pay for the county’s share of a new deputy’s salary. “In a lock-up, we recommend two sandwiches and a beverage,’’ Gibbs said. “The state will pay for all who are detained on state charges and you’d pay for feeding those arrested on county charges.” “Suppose a guy in a lock-up got appendicitis. Who’d pay?” Luke asked. Gibbs told him the state would pay the hospital bill as long as the prisoner was arrested on state charges, but the sheriff would have to furnish an armed guard at the hospital. “WHAT BOTHERS me, is that some of these fellows get in jail and have it better than ever before,” Luke said. “All this just makes it obvious; we’re going to have to go to a regional jail,” Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis said. “We need to appoint a committee to do a study.” Gibbs pointed out that a regional jail is at least three years away. “But we can’t continue to operate the Rappahannock jail as we have.” Sheriff Luther Cox of Fauquier was asked if he could continue to keep Rappahannock’s prisoners.

And we regularly keep prisoners from Fairfax, Prince William, the State Penitentiary. We’re all bulging.” “What are we going to do when he (Sheriff Cox) doesn’t have room?” Herbert Foster asked of Gibbs. “We are tight everywhere; he’s right. But as long as the prisoner is on a state charge, the state will take responsibility for finding room,” Giles said. He went on to talk about the rising expenses confronting his department. Jenkins noted that he would have to find a new jailer, to live in the jail, since Ronnie Hawkins is resigning as jailer. And he reminded the Supervisors again that he could have hired two additional deputies earlier, even without the Supervisors’ approval. J “I UNDERSTAND that, John Walker,” Pete Luke said. “You could have done it and charged us for it. But I appreciate your coming before us, since it is one-third our money.” Luke said he supposed hiring an additional deputy and coverting the jail to a lock-up would be the most economical decision the Supervisors could make. ‘‘When do we have to comply with this?” H.B. Wood asked. ‘‘Six months ago,” Jenkins said, and Giles nodded in agreement. The Supervisors approved Jenkins’ request for an additional deputy. JOHN JONES from the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission, asked the Supervisors to appoint two people to serve on a committee to study the possibilities of a regional jail. Representatives from Madison, Culpeper, Greene and Orange counties will also be on the committee, he said. ‘‘At this point, there are no costs involved. The committee will just determine if a jail is needed, where it should be located, how much it should cost and how it should be funded. If there is some cost for making the study, we can probably get a federal grant to cover it,” the spokesman for the district Planning Commission said. The Supervisors appointed Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis and Sheriff John Walker Jenkins to serve on the study committee. □ Park Hanger nabs thieves SHENANDOAH NATIONAL Park Ranger Tony Bonanno was talking to four Bethesda, Md., youths recently in front of the Bid Meadows Wayside, when one of the youths tried to sell him a $400 Konica camera for $50. The youths said that they needed money for gas for their trip back to Washington, D. C. After discussing the wisdom of selling such a fine camera so cheaply, the Ranger declined the offer while making a note of the camera’s serial number. After the youths departed, the ranger called for an NCIC check. About ten minutes later, a reply came back from Park Headquarters that the camera was stolen property. Park Rangers stopped the youths moments before they reached the Park exit and recovered $800 worth of camera equipment from the trunk of their car. The equipment had been stolen in mid-July from a residence in Bethesda. en in mid-july from a residence in Bethesda. The equipment was returned to its legal owner, and the young people were temporarily released to the custody of their parents.□ REAL ESTATE FOR SALE NEAR FLINT HILL - lovely home, cottage style, 2 bedrooms and den (or 3 bedrooms), large living room and country size kitchen, full bathroom, full basement in a parklike setting on 1-1/4 acres back toward the National Park.

Muth heads hospital campaign GEORGE E. MUTH of Woodville is-Rappahannock County Chairman for the Development Fund Drive to raise $1.5 million for Culpeper Memorial Hospital’s expansion building program. The community support effort is keyed by the theme “September is Culpeper Hospital Month” in Culpeper Town. The drive will continue through late December in the Hospital’s four-county service area, Culpeper, Rappahannock, Madison and Orange. Muth, a member of Culpeper Hospital’s Board of Directors, serves on a committee of community leaders, headed by George P. Beard, Jr., president of Second National Bank of Culpeper, as fund drive general chairman. Mrs. Lewis L. Strauss of Brandy Station, and Robert Y. Button, are honorary co-chairmen. Rappahannock County residents make up nearly 8% of the Hospital’s patient admissions, exclusive of Emergency Room cases, HOMECOMING SERVICES The Flint Hill United Methodist Church is having Homecoming on Sunday, September 22, church service and special music at 11 a.m. with dinner following at the fire hall. The guest minister will be the Rev. Lyle Youell of Kinsale^ a former pastor at Flint Hill.D and those cared for by the Family Practice Unit as out-patients. These services are widely used by Rappahannock citizens. During the most recent five-year period 881 Hospital in-patients were registered from Rappahannock County. CONSTRUCTION is well advanced on a new wing for Culpeper Hospital which will add 60 beds, all in private rooms, plus supporting facilities and services. Thirty-two of the added rooms are earmarked for intermediate and extended nursing home care, with full hospital resources available, and at rates substantially below acute care requirements. The new wing is scheduled to begin operation in June 1975, shortly after the target construction completion date. Culpeper Memorial’s expansion program is costing $4.5 million, financed by a $3.6 million construction mortgage with the balance funded by a Hill-Burton federal grant, the last of its kind made in Virginia. The Hospital seeks $1.5 million in five-year pledge commitments from the citizens it serves, to reduce the principal amount, and consequently the debt-service interest outlay. Each dollar pledged now equals $2 to $3 in interest over the 25-year life of the mortgage. THE HOSPITAL, which opened its doors in 1960, was built with a half-million dollar community subscription campaign that got underway in 1957. It is a non-stock, non-profit health care institution, controlled by the citizens it serves. Members of the corporation, which is open to everyone at $3. dues per year, elect the Board of Directors that operates the Hospital, and vote on policy formation. Culpeper Memorial Hospital is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals, and licensed by the Virginia Department of Health. It received national recognition for its Family Practice Unit as an innovative response to a community shortage of family physicians, and is frequently cited as unique in the range of services for hospitals of its size.D Concrete is being poured and steel is going up for a 60-bed wing, with supporting facilities, for Culpeper Memorial Hospital. George E. Muth of Woodville heads the Rappahannock division of a community drive to raise $1.5 million in five-year citizen pledges in support of the $4.5 million expansion. Ski area won’t open this year From Page 1 and boots,” said Moore. Of the 15 or so persons present at the meeting, some 30 to 40 percent of the total indebtedness was represented by the firm which supplied air compressors for the area’s snow-making machines.

Jenkins, Auctioneer bout the offer, Moore elaborated on the Ski Area’s difficulties, and admitted that some moves may have been made too fast—such as installing new snow-makingequipment, refurbishing existing lifts and installing others, putting in extra snow-making capacity, &c., He talked again, almost wistfully, of ‘‘the good days in February” of last year. ••When the weather was going good, the energy crisis hit and there was no gas available for people to get out from the District. Still, we took in $58,000 over a ten-day period, which was one-third of the year's gross of $150,000.” He estimated that “with good weather, the area could gross $300,000 a year, easily.” ‘‘The week before Christmas was good,” he continued, going over again a bitter experience that he must have recalled hundreds of times. ‘‘There was natural snow and cold weather, and we had a good crowd even on Christmas Eve. Then it rained three inches on the 26th of December, and normally December 26 to the Sunday after New Year’s is our best time of the year. We took in $5,000 during that period, instead of the $75,000 that we would have otherwise.” Jim'Moore was philosophic, under the circumstances. ‘‘We made long studies of the weather, and we thought that we could make up for the temperature difference between here and Camelback with twice the snow-making capacity per acre, and that’s what we have here.” BUT INSTEAD OF a mere 8degree average winter temperature difference, as their studies indicated, the differences ranged from 12 to 25 degrees, and Camelback itself was far warmer than usual, as was all of New England. The result was the creditors' meeting. If the creditors agree to the offer outlined by Moore—and those present at Friday's meeting were inclined to go along—then Rappahannock hopes to ‘‘test out the off-season operation by next April, and then try to lease the ski area for the following winter.” In the meantime, it was also agreed that an appraisal of the value of the property, including buildings and all 370 acres, be obtained through a local real estate dealer.□ FIRST AID CLASS An advanced First Aid course is scheduled to begin September 16 for anyone in Rappahannock County wishing to participate.
