Rappahannock News, September 26, 1974

r FIFTEEN CENTS Rappahannock plan Supervisors scuttle some preliminary work BY PEKAY PETTUS “PLANNING” and "master plans” inspired some harsh words last Wednesday night when Rappahannock’s Supervisors rejected all work done so far by the Planning Commission toward drafting the county’s first comprehensive plan. Specifically, the Supervisors rejected a document called “Development of Rappahannock County Master Plan” prepared by the staff of Planning District Nine, at the request of Rappahannock’s Planning Commission. The Supervisors also made it clear they didn’t want any part of another request made by the Planning Commission — an appropriation for a series of maps reflecting an “environmental inventory and analysis” by the Piedmont Environmental Council of Warrenton. Wednesday was the scheduled September meeting of the Planning Commission and it was supposed to have been a joint session with the Supervisors. But none of the Planners showed up, except for Fanning Baum gardner — who as zoning administrator serves as secretary to the Commission — and Pete Luke, chairman of the Supervisors, who also serves as the Supervisors’ representative to the Planning Commission. Herbert Barksdale, the planners chairman, had called Luke earlier to say he was ill and wouldn’t be able to come. Jim White, representing Planning District Nine, outlined what he saw as the steps in the development of a master plan for Rappahanock. First, he said, there is “pre-planning” during which “the people willing to assist and participate in the plan development are identified.” These participants would probably include the district and county planning staffs, outside consultants such as PEC and groups within the community, White said. The next step would be ‘ ‘program scheduling,” determining at what rate development of the plan should take place, whether it should be accomplished in months or years. Then “background studies” could begin, White said, noting “this is what the PEC addressed itself to.” PEC would be able to project specifically what should be declared as conservation, historic or scenic areas, White said. But he added, “since I don’t work for PEC, I hate to be speaking for them.” Other background studies, besides those done by PEC, need to be made, White said, “such as sociological and demorgraphic” material, “finding out about the people of the county, how many, how old they are, how much money they have, that kind of thing — because planning is not for trees, but for people.” FINALLY, THE development of the plan itself would begin. It would be based on existing land use and projected land use for the future. This would reflect what the people of Rappahannock wanted as well as information gleaned from the earlier steps in developing the plan, White said. “The implementation of the plan is through the zoning map and the zoning ordinance and the subdivision ordinance. The function of the plan is to justify the zoning,” White said. Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, Pete Luke, apologized to visitors. “I’m sorry the members of the Planning Commission aren’t here. I know Mr. Barksdale would be here if he could. But the Planning Commission has started off with preparing a master plan, and I think there is some reticence on the part of the board to pursue this.” Luke said he had hoped that the meeting would provide an opportunity for the Supervisors to hear first - hand what the planners wanted to accomplish, and the Planning Commission would be able to “read” the feelings of the Supervisors. “As I see it, we’re now down to two questions,” Luke said. ‘‘The board wants the Planning Commission to continue in what role, if at all, and how much do we want them to spend?” THE IMMEDIATE request before the Supervisors from the Planning Commission was to provide $1,000 to hire the Piedmont Environmental Council to make an ‘‘environmental inventory and analysis.” The Planning Commission already has $500 previously appropriated by the Supervisors. The $1,500 spent by Rappahannock for the See Page 8 House tour and sale set for Oct 19-20 A FULL SCHEDULE of events is slated to take place in Rappahannock on Saturday and Sunday, October 19 and 20.

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675*3349 Another viewpoint Billboard proposal From The Free-Lance Star Fredericksburg CITY COUNCIL may finally act tonight on a much-delayed proposal for a huge billboard near the 1-95 bridge over the Rappahannock River. We hope the decision is a firm “no.” Developer Carl D. Silver wants to erect the billboard to advertise a motel and a restaurant. It would be quite an advertisement for Mr. Silver’s business interests — 150 feet long, half the length of a football field. Southbound motorists on 1-95 could hardly miss it. Those motorists now see the wooded hills overlooking the waters of the Rappahannock. Their view is marred only by an old quarry. If Mr. Silver has his way, though, another eye-jolter will assault the vision of the motorist—half a football field worth of billboard. Mr. Silver argues that this is “the best possible use you could make of this land.” We disagree. Sometimes—and this is one of those times—the public interest is best served by leaving land just as it is. Virginia prides itself on its natural beauty, an asset stressed in urging travelers to come here. Do we want those visitors to see and enjoy our natural beauty or do we want them to encounter monstrous commercial billboards? W,e’d opt for the unspoiled countryside and we suspect our visitors would, too. The motorist, if he needs to, can learn about the motel and restaurant from the food and lodging signs erected by the state at the Va. 3 interchange. City Council is involved in the matter because the land in question is owned by the city. Silver has asked the city to rent him the land, without competitive bidding, for a mere $600 a yearless than $2 a day. The city attorney says bids are necessary. Whether the rent is $600 or $6,000, though, we think the billboard proposal is unwise. It should be laid to rest tonight. Editor’s note — the next day’s edition of the paper told of how the developer had withdrawn his request. □ Letters to the editor Godwin criticized for Vepco stand Editor: I was appalled, as must have been tens of thousands of other Virginians opposed to Vepco’s newest application for a tremendous rate hike, to see Gov. Mills E. Godwin in a news conference throw his considerable weight on Vepco’s side well in advance of a decision by the State Corporation Commission. The purpose of the SCC’s hearing on the giant utility’s rate proposal, which would give it an additional $123.7 million a year, was to hear expert testimony on both sides and subsequently make it» finding based on the evidence and the public interest, insofar as it-could determine the public interest by witnesses and the thousands of letters, telegrams, phone calls and signatures on petitions filed with the agency. ^Fhe hearings were jammed with concerned opponents who would be most adversely affected in their electric bills if the latest hike is approved. But the Governor, who has no direct control over SCC members since they are selected by the General Assembly, could not wait for the SCC to make up its own mind. Surely as an experienced politician and as the Chief Executive of the state he knew that his virtual endorsement of the Vepco request might well have a strong bearing on the final decision. It is to maintain the integrity and the independence of this regulatory body that its members are not subject to gubernatorial appointment. For the Governor to intervene in advance of a judicial decision was, in my opinion, highly improper, contrary to the interests of Virginia consumers and voters whom he is supposed to represent, and totally inexcusable. As Governor, unlike an ordinary “Close-ups” A five-cent Lincoln postage stamp was the photo featured last week There were many correct replies.

Please contact us and let us know. citizen, Mr. Godwin should have maintained a golden silence on the subject so that nothing could be said to the effect that he sought to influence the SCC. Instead, in his news conference at Virginia Beach September 18, he declared the utilities such as Vepco must have adequate revenue to meet rising demands. What he did not mention, conveniently, is the fact that electric power demand has fallen sharply this year as a result of conservation measures, rising rates and construction controls in many sectors, as well as the deepening recession. Vepco has consistently shuffled over this crucial fact in its continuing cries for more and more money, to be spent in maintenance of high dividends to stockholders (currently 16 per cent on the common stock) and for vast construction programs. It may be worth noting, possibly for the first time in print, that Gov. Godwin’s feelings about Vepco and its stature in his eyes may be reflected in the fact that one of his first acts as Governor following the 1972 election was to hire Vepco’s top press relations man as his own. It would be interesting to know to what extent, if any, Vepco’s former public relations expert assisted the governor in his comments at the news conference. In referring to the big utility’s revenue “needs,” the Governor made no mention whatsoever of the plight of small consumers faced with staggering increases in their electric bills. He was not asked about their need to survive the inflationary crunch. However, the Governor did express his opinion that an investigation by the SCC into Vepco’s management and construction pro gram would show that the utility is operated efficiently. Just how he knows this so far in advance of such an independent study is a mystery, but in any case one would expect the Governor of all the people to avoid pre-judging such a vital undertaking. Gov. Godwin’s remarks appear to me to be so out-of-line with the integrity of his hig;h office and so prejudicial to the interests of hundreds of thousands of Vepco consumers,' as well as an infringement on the independence of the SCC itself, that I believe the proper legislative committee ought to launch an inquiry into his conduct in this matter. I believe the interests of the public also would be well served if every public official, every judge, were required to submit to the Legislature a complete list of their stock and bond holdings and any other financial interests that might conceivably be construed as having any influence upon their opinions or decisions. It is unthinkable that a state judge, for example, might sit on an important utility case hearing or appeal while owning, without public knowledge, a large hunk of stock in the same utility. It is unthinkable, but it could easily happen under present lax statutes. No one believes that, in favoring Vepco in the present rate hike case, Gov. Godwin is so doing for any reason other than his own personal views. But if his views are far too industry-minded and far too weak on consumer-protection, and if he speaks out injudiciously on pending rate cases, then it is high time that strong protests are voiced in the electorate.

But we are not thinking of “spilt milk” in a literal sense, we are thinking of autumn and summer gone. Summer, what is a “summer bonus,” a summer romance? If you’ll tell me that I’ll tell you what summon bonum means. I’ll tell you anyway, it is Latin for the highest good. OK? Autumn: a time of the year, and a time of life. Good? Yes! A few days ago I heard a gentleman telling us of the expense of operating kindergartens; it costs millions. But here is the rub: a pupil in the third grade and beyond does not benefit, scholastically, over the pupil who did not attend kindergarten. Why kindergarten? Why not let a child be a child as long as it can. I read a psychological report some time ago that accused parents of trying to force maturity on their children before they are ready, that mothers are having their daughters wear training garments before they have anything to train. Headline: Slower speeds have saved lives, but have robbed patients of kidney transplants. Anyone for increased speed limit? Attrition: Wearing away. ‘Fraid I’m being worn away faster than some of the unfavorable aspects of life. A running mate used to say that “attrition will take care of it” referring to some irritations we had to endure. Do you think that we will have beer drinkers, like the poor, with us always? I’m not a chemist, but I’m trying to think of a formula that will make beer cans disintegrate. But the formula works this way—the first can and the second disappear, the third makes the drinker disappear. I may try one where the first can is effective, that is if thrown from a car. If you see any driverless cars on the" road you will know I have realized my ambition.□ PAID POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT Worried About High Prices? Want To Do Something About If? REGISTER and VOTE!

Comprehensive plan work scuttled r rviu r a^c x study would be matched by a federal grant to PEC.. Also, the Supervisors needed to comment on the work Planning District Nine had done, which Jim White had presented earlier, and indicate if they wanted District Nine to continue this work. “Rappahannock doesn’t have any immediate problems, but we’ve got a fire burning around the periphery. The other counties* have their problems. I think we ought to start doing our homework and being prepared.” So Luke thought the question before the board was “what expense and detail do we want to go to in order to be prepared?” “Do we want to hire PEC or do we want to see how much we can get done using Fanning(Baumgardner), Planning District Nine and some volunteers? I know some members of the Board feel the data (such as soil and topography studies) is already here.” Luke asked Baumgardner, as zoning administrator and secretary to the Planning Commission, what he thought was best. “Naturally, I’m in favor of the Cadillac — hiring PEC. You can always do your job better when there is more information available to you,” Baumgardner said. “But maybe we should rapidly come up with a comprehensive plan that is all narrative and then in time work at fleshing that out. Maybe there’s some ground in-between.” Pete Luke thought that might be true. “Maybe we don’t want to spend $1,500 with PEC. Maybe we should see what they could do for us with a $250 bill. Maybe we can get them to do some of the maps and sell them to us, but not take the whole proposal they offered us.” Luke noted that $250 from the county for PEC would actually represent $500 worth of work, since the county’s payment would be matched dollar for dollar by a federal grant to PEC. JIM WHITE added that his office. Planning District Nine, r~AUTO PARTS—i Russell Automotive Company 732 E. Main St. Luray, Virginia Phone: 743-4551 could provide help in a variety of ways. “Our assistance can be broad, but it will have to be slow,” he said, noting that the district planning commission is already helping other jusisdictions with planning matters. “We couldn’t get this done in 90 days.” Fanning Baumgardner emphasized that he felt work on the. master plan should begin. “We have the zoning and the subdivision ordinances, but we need to look beyond this, to think in terms of historic and scenic preservation.” Pete Luke said he wanted to be sure the Planning Commission had the support of the community as they went about preparing the plan. “That’s my philosophy of government,” he said. Georee Davis. Commonwealth’s Attorney, had not yet spoken. “Maybe it’s my fault that I haven’t communicated...Either I haven’t been putting across my thoughts or we’re not on the same wavelength, but Rappahannock has had planning since 1962. We are one of the first counties in the state to have a complete survey of land use, types of soil, slopes and floodplain. We haven’t been using this.” Davis thought that a comprehensive plan, in effect, meant a plan for development. “The counties to the east of us have comprehensive plans, which say here you have industry and over here you have light industry and here you have residential and here you have density residential,” Davis said. “Butif we want to preserve agriculture and practice conservation we can do nothing better than what we’ve already done. To devise a plan for development will ruin the county.” “George has said what I’d like to say,” H. B. Wood said. “Let’s stop planning for a while and just be quiet.” “THE EXTENSION service conducted a study and found that people in Rappahannock like things as they are,” Dick Latham said. Pete Luke said a lot of people in the county would be surprised to know how much subdivision is occuring in the county. “I want a picture of where things are happening; I want us to be ready,” he said. “We haven’t had many smalllot subdivisions. Our ordinances don’t allow it,” George Davis said “No county in the state has as effective controls as we do. The developers have jumped over us.” Fanning Baumgardner said a plan is needed “to focus on what it is we’re doing. We can have a plan that will help us to explore OVER 90 YEARS OF HELPFUL SERVICE Lumber Hunite are Building Materials □ Building Plans □ Ceiling Tile □ Doers □ Floor Tile □ Flooring D Formica (Laminated) □ Windows □ Garden Supplies □ Insulation □ Lawn Mowers □ Millwork □ Moldings □ Roofing □ Wall Board □ Paneling □ Pegboard □ Plywood □ Power Tools □ Sapolin Paints □ Siding □ Sta-Dri Commonwealth Corporation Free Delivery * 424 Manassas St. Front Royal 635-2176 the means of preserving agriculture, if that’s what we want to do.” “You’ll have to devise a way to make a profit in agriculture. In Virginia it’s traditional that people make their money elsewhere and lose it in agriculture,” Davis said. “Maybe plan is a bad word,” Eileen Day suggested, “Maybe what we want really is a statement of intent. And the PEC maps are not a plan, we don’t have to consider that as part of a plan. That would just be showing us what we have. I think the maps would be invaluable. “The Health Department doesn’t use the flood plain map we’ve got,” George Davis said, adding that a number of maps already exist, reflecting soil, topography and landownership, and all can be viewed by the public. But Eileen Day thought the PEC maps were a good idea. They would be “one, neat little package” that any citizen could refer to. Gladys Havstaad thought the maps should be displayed where people could see them, perhaps at the courthouse. PHIL IRWIN said that currently there is “no consensus (among Rappahannock citizens) on the master plan, no consensus on the zoning and subdivision ordinances, no consensus on anything.” Irwin thought that a “visual display” such as the PEC maps would provide would help the county to “present things to people in a way they can understand.” The maps would show people why it is that certain areas should not be rezoned,” Irwin thought. “Pete, I just don’t know what we’re buying,” Helen Holschuh said. H.B. Wood and George Davis agreed that if “planning” were put to public referendum, they weren’t so sure the ordinances the county already has, much less the master plan, would fare well. “I think the county is 60-40 against planning,” H.B. Wood said. “A comprehensive plan doesn’t have to be a plan for development,” Phil Irwin said. “But we will have to adopt some kind of a plan in order to consider the land use tax.” George Davis didn’t think the land use tax would be a good idea for Rappahannock County since so little property is in commercial use. In order for land use to help a county, “you have to be able to shift the tax bases” and Rappahannock didn’t have much else to shift to, Davis thought. Dick Latham said he was sorry members of the Planning Commission weren’t present. “I want to hear from them what tools they want.” “I WANT to make this clear,” George Davis said. “I don’t mean for it to sound like a threat, but I’m going to vigorously oppose any effort towards a master plan. Do you need a plan to do nothing? No! But you need a plan to develop.” Davis said he’d lived in Rappahannock more than 30 years and planned to live here the rest of his life, and he does not want See Page 15 Qualify Clothes for Men & Women SOUTHGATE SHOPPING CENTER Culpopor, Vo.

Apple time Packing will go on all winter at Sperryville “WE’VE GOT a co-op that co-ops,” grinned Lucio Kilby, waving a hand that encompassed a beehive of activities at the apple packing shed at Sperryville. “All the other co-ops in Rappahanock didn’t co-op, and now we’re the only big operation left.” A large packing shed at Flint Hill, and another one on Route 211 near the High School, both have “For Sale” signs on them, but Kilby says the Sperryville operation has enough business to keep up to 20 people busy all through the winter. “We’ll pack about 100,000 bushels this year, which is fair,” says Kilby, “ending up next April or May. Then there’s machinery to tend to, and accounting and bookkeeping, and getting the place straightened out, and then we’ll start all over again about next August 15.” Rappahannock apples leave the Sperryville packing house and travel to a wide market, although not as wide as it once was. At one time, says Lucio Kilby, Finland was one of the biggest customers of Rappahannock apples. :‘But then the Communists took over,” he said. Either Communists don’t eat many apples, or the Finns would rather buy from their Russian comrades. KILBY SAID the Rappahannock co-op doesn’t do any selling abroad at all, right now, and a visit by Fred W. Burrows last week might have been related. Burrows is director of marketing services for the International Apple Institute, and he agreed with Kilby that right now the European apple market is being dominated by French orchardists. ‘‘It’s just too much trouble to sell overseas anymore,” said Kilby, and left it at that. But there’s no trouble in finding a market for Rappahannock apples elsewhere. From Sperryville, apples are shipped to the A & P, Rich Food Stores, Colonial Stores, several buyers in Jacksonville, Fla., Grand Union, Safeway and Giant Stores. This year’s crop suffered a little frost damage last spring, but by and large things worked out pretty good, Kilby added, and the pick was good for all varieties grown in the county — Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Winesap, York, Stamen-Winesap. RAPPAHANNOCK co-op members, who send their apples to the Sperryville packing house are H. B. Wood, Ned Johnson, the Eldon Farm, I. R. Kilbly, L. J. Kilby, Mount Vernon Stock Farm, Ned Jones, N. K. G. Tholan, A. Y. Stokes and Mrs. Alice Wood. The co-operative was first organized in 1936 and, as noted, is the only one still operating in Rappahannock. Herbert Foster and Sons have a small, individual packing operation for their own orchards near Flint Hill. — Ray Dilley Bins of apples waiting outside the packing house at Sperryville. Cartons circle over the production line until they’re needed, and then they’re filled. Apples float up from bins below at one end of the packing house, and a long assembly-line of washing, sorting and boxing begins. Lucio Kilby, general manager of the apple packing co-operative at Sperryville, boxes a few samples for Fred W. Burrows, director of marketing services for the International Apple Institute, who stopped by - last week to see how things were going.

THANK YOU We wish to thank the Warren Memorial Hospital and friends for kindness and attention shown during the hospitalization of Clark Jones. Clark and Flora Jones By RAP OWINGS Extension Agent, Agriculture RAPP CHATS TUESDAY’S EARLY MORNING frost has to be one of the earliest on record. Miss Ruby’s official weather gauge registered a low of 31 degrees in the town of Washington. Probably it was several degrees colder on the bottoms and low lying areas. The early cold snap brings to mind a few of the fall and winter jobs and activities you may want to consider. Wheat should be seeded anytime from now to October 25. Over the years one of the main reasons for poor stands of wheat has been seeding too late, so the sooner you can get this job done the better. Recommended varieties are Arthur, Abe, Coker 68-15 and Blue Boy. Early October is also the time to treat for cattle grub or ox warble. Use either the pour on or spray methods. Any of the recommended materials will do the job provided the directions are followed. There is still time to seed fescue if you get it done within the next two weeks. I have seen successful stands established as late as the first of November. Of course the later you wait the greater the risk of failure. Fall and early winter are also the ideal time to fertilize permanent pastures and lawns.

Comprehensive plan work scuttled From Page 8 to see the county developed, he said. “Well, in a county where you have one fellow with 15,000 acres, you have some serious problem areas. I want to know where things are going,” Pete Luke said. “What are you voting on tonight?” Eileen Day asked. Pete Luke said he wasn’t sure that the Supervisors would vote on anything tonight. “But we’ve got to decide what it is we want the Planning Commission to do.” “I’m about ready to make a motion for them not to do anything,” H.B. Wood said. “I’ll second that,” Clarence Baldwin said. Mels Parsons said he’d attended a PEC planning conference in August and he felt that Rappahannock County was “vulnerable.” Parsons “apologized” for using a military term, “But we need better intelligence. Information, I mean. “I think further work on the master plan is essential. If we’re satisfied we don’t need anything, maybe plan is a bad word,” Parsons said. “But we shouldn’t cease our efforts.” “We’re not stopping and doing nothing,” George Davis interjected. “MAYBE WE should just go one step at a time,” Eileen Day said, suggesting that the Supervisors decide first whether to hire PEC to do the maps, and decide later whether they should follow up with a plan. Phil Irwin asserted that simple ordinances wouldn’t prevent undesirable development. “Someone with enough money to fulfill the requirements of the ordinances could double the population of Rappahannock. Some development is probably popular,” Irwin said, “and it’s important that we all have a say in locating it. Without a plan, the guy with the money will do the planning.” ‘‘Perhaps we need a ‘Rappahannock 2000’ plan?” Howard Holschuh suggested. ‘‘Take the map of Rappahannock County as it is and put the year 2000 across the top.” ‘‘It’d be legal,” Phil Irwin said. ‘‘And we’ve got it now,” George Davis said. ‘‘Well, what’s our suggestion?” Pete Luke said, addressing the Supervisors. ‘‘Do we want them to prepare a minimum cost draft plan within the current budget and then have a joint meeting on that? Or do we want, in effect, to declare the Planning Commission null and void?” “That was my motion,’-’ H. B. Wood said. “What’s your motion?” Fanning Baumgardner said. “To not have PEC prepare the maps or to stop work on a master plan altogether?” GEORGE DAVIS said, “I don’t mean to put words in H.B.’s mouth, but what he’s saying is he doesn’t want the Planning Commission to Runaway tractor causes an injury Wayne Sutphin of Washington broke his broken leg Saturday in an accident which involved a runaway tractor at his father’s farm on Route 729. Wayne sustained a leg fracture in a motorcycle accident some time ago and was in a cast. He was using the tractor Saturday to pull a pickup truck when the tractor ran off down hill with him, throwing him off. The leg which was in the cast was broken again in another place. The farm tractor sustained an estimated two thousand dollars damage. □ TIRE SPECIALS We have a complete stock of Tires All sizes- All Kinds Regular- Mud and Snow Treads FUNT HILL GARAGE 24 HOUR WKCKB SERVICE VIRGINIA MSKCHON Phones 675-3252 Flint Hill, Va ~ Used Deafer 3824. proceed with this plan, this plan presented here by Planning District Nine tonight.” “That doesn’t mean they couldn’t take it up again,” Wood said. “Herbert Foster’s not here,” Pete Luke noted, deliberating on whether it was proper to vote on Wood’s motion. “George, what do you think is advisable?” “I think you’ve got a quorum; vote on it,” Davis said. Before Luke called for the vote, Fanning Baumgardner read from the section of the Virginia code that says counties shall adopt a master plan. Latham wanted to know if Wood’s motion for the Planning Commission to stop work on the master plan drafted by Planning District Nine included the PEC map project. He was told it did. “I’m not against planning,” Latham said. “I’m against the route they’re following.” Latham and Baldwin voted for Wood’s motion. Luke voted against. “Mr. Chairman, I think your action is in violation of the Virginia state code,” Phil Irwin said. “Well, you’ve got two conflicting legal opinions,” Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis said. Irwin grinned. “So now, what are we going to HILLSDALE DRIVE-IN Washington, Va. SHOW STARTS AT_DUSK Fri., Sat., Sun.
