Rappahannock News, December 19, 1974

Nobody could have enjoyed the Flint Hill Auxiliary-Firemens Christmas party Sunday evening more than Jonathan Watson, son of Trooper and Mrs. J.A. Watson. He participated in the program saying his as signed part, then brought down the house with his ad libbing, much to the consternation of his mother. Jonathan welcomed Santa wholeheartedly and was pleased with his candy cane. Everyone enjoyed Jonathan.

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Better than ‘planning’ HE MAY get some static for it from citizens of the county who seem to think “planning” is a synonym for “panacea,” but we like the reservations that have been expressed by the Chairman of the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors about what has become one of the by-words of the New Conventional Wisdom. Pete Luke was absolutely right when he raised questions at the last meeting of the Rappahannock - Rapidan Planning Commission about all of these “master plans” that seem to be magically taking shape in our area—county masterplans, regional master plans, state master plans. Said Pete, in his usual direct way: “If I was a speculator I’d be pushing for all these plans, and start buying all the land you said was OK for development.” Chairman Luke is right. Too many master plans are little more than a blueprint for development, and for a compelling— if questionable, philosophically—reason in Virginia. Up to now, Virginia’s courts have been reluctant, to put it mildly, to support any so-called “plan” which purported to do anything but encourage growth. Not “control” growth, or even “limit” it, mind you, which is what a plan might be supposed to aim for; in Virginia courts, if a plan doesn’t pave the way for any speculator or developer to practically do what he pleases, then it’s thrown out. Such plans have been thrown out repeatedly in Northern Vir ginia, with the most visible exception being Loudoun County, which is blessed with a judge who seems to be more enlightened about land use issues and the rights of people already living in an areas (as opposed to those who merely want to come in and have their way) to have something to say about their way of life and the way they want their home county to be for themselves and their children. Rappahannock County remains one of the best examples of where real4‘planning” strength lies. As long as the people want the county to maintain its comfortable rural quality, and as long as they keep electing people who reflect this attitude, then the county will be spared the worst ravages of modernday ‘‘progress.” All we have to do is look around us—to Warren, Culpeper and Page Counties—to see the lesson illustrated (We’ve commertted before' about Fauquier’s questionable status.) Such an approach doesn’t mean “no growth,” or an attempt to turn back time. It means applying common sense, instead of elaborate “control” formulas; it means relying on the good will and good intentions of neighbors rather than the airy generalities of consultants. And if we’ve come to a point where we can’t rely on that, then the whole shebang isn’t worth worrying about anyway. Obviously, this newspaper doesn’t believe that.D Slaughter honored DELEGATE D. French Slaughter, Jr. (Independent-Culpeper) was guest at a dinner last week by members of the Virginia Legislative Service (VLS), a University of Virginia Law School Organization. The Virginia Legislative Service assists individual members of the General Assembly in researching legislation. The Virginia Legislative Service invites three outstanding members of the Virginia General Assembly each year for a dinner meeting at the Law School in Charlottesville. The Board of Directors of the VLS cited Delegate Slaughter’s “conscientious efforts as a delegate as evidenced by the legislation which he has introduced as well as the attention he gives to the drafting of his legislative proposals,” as the criteria for extending an invitation to the December dinner meeting. At the dinner meeting, Delegate Slaughter Reviewed the legislation passed by the 1974 session of the General Assembly. He then turned to the multitude of issues facing the 30 day 1975 session, which will convene in January. Delegate Slaughter then reviewed the process, both legal and political, of how a proposed bill becomes law. “Close-ups” The metal end of a pencil which holds the eraser was the object pictured last week and a free subscription goes to Waymond Bradley of Mitchells, Va. for identifying it.

Letter to the editor Way to save power Editor: In your paper last week, I see where the Allegheny Power System Companies, which includes the Potomac Edison Co., which is one of the companies that serves our area, are appealing to all customers to use restraint in the use of electricity, due to a shortage of coal as a result of the strike in the coal industry. Conserving electricity should begin at home, the power companies’ home. During the fuel crisis last winter and now, some of the outside automatic dust-to-dawn pole lights owned by different power companies and rented to their customers on a monthly rate, burn all day long on a cloudy day and some come on before dark at night and stay on after daylight in the morning. I know of one such light in the Amissville area that has been burning 24 hours a day for over a year. If these lights cannot be adjusted, the necessary part should be replaced or replace the whole light. I think the power companies should take the first move to conserve electricity. To help conserve electricity and conserve $4 or more a month on my electric bill, I have notified my power company to disconnect my outside pole light. Ray T. Cannon Castleton CHESTER GAP NEWS MRS.

T H E L I T T L E F 0 X Luke questions ‘development’ plans BY MARK HELMKE SINCE the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission acts as the area clearinghouse for federal funds in Fauquier, Rappahannock, Culpeper, Orange and Madison counties, a number of plans are needed so the Commissioners can tell the federal and state bureaucracies in charge of funding which projects “fit in’’ with local and regional planning. So far, a Criminal Justice Plan has been made, although it needs to be updated—it seems Fauquier’s Sheriff’s Department wants a paddy wagon. A Senior Citizen Plan and Manpower Plan are also in the works. These plans haven’t created too much excitement for the Dis tnct Commissioners, but they all agreed the plans were necessary. After all, funding for the plans is available, and special social projects like the police departments in the five county area wouldn’t have been able to get almost $50,000 in radios, cameras,, and fingerprint kits without it. But now comes a Regional Land Use and Transportation Plan. Local Assistance planner for the District, Jim White unveiled it for the Commissioners at a meeting last Wednesday in Culpeper. White is already collecting data on land use characteristics of the region, and the Commissioners will have to decide on “goals and objectives ” for the five counties. A preliminary draft of the plan should be ready by June, said White. WHEN Fauquier decided not to join with Loudoun and Prince William in the Northern Virginia Planning District, and became the charter member of Region 9 five years ago, land use planning was the major reason. Even though Fauquier is more oriented toward Northern Virginia historically and economically, it was more interested in associating with a rural region. While the Northern Virginia Planning District was accumulating a large planning bureacracy, the Rappahannock-Rapidan District didn’t get off the ground until last year, when Madi son and Culpeper joined, like Orange and Rappahannock, under a threat of getting no more federal funds if they didn’t. It wasn’t until last summer that White was hired with a $10,000 grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. White has been providing planning consultation to jurisdictions like Warrentonand.Rappahannock, since he comes as part of the 20£ per capita dues to the District. THE LAND USE plan is part of the District’s contract with HUD, but mention a land use plan to Rappahannock Supervisor Pete Luke and he sees red—or, rather, developers. “It seems to me you’ll just be providing all the information a developer will ever need,’’ said Luke to White at the meeting last Wednesday. “If I was a speculator I’d be pushing for all these plans,’’ argued Luke, “and start buying all the land you said was OK for development.” “But you’re planning for what you want,” replied Warrenton Town Manager Ed Brower—the “citizen” representative on the Commission from the town. “But you’re planning for development,” shot back Luke. “The plan tells the development where to go,” explained Brower. “Well, we don’t want any,” asserted Luke, and the rest of the Commissioners laughed to avert any more discussion of the topic. WHITE just smiled during Luke’s oratory. Luke’s belief is that too many planners and officials view land use plans as panaceas for all growth problems, commented White after the meeting. And White agrees that many land use plans have become little more than development plans. But without a land use plan, a jurisdiction would have no way to stop a developer in court, argues White. He cited Orange County, where the Circuit Court Judge practically ordered the Board of Supervisors to make a Comprehensive Plan to back up it’s zoning controls. THE DISTRICT Commissioners PICTURE FRAMING AND ART SUPPLIES WARREN PAINT AND SUPPLY CO. Main Street And Blue Ridge Avenue 635-9674 FRONT ROYAL, VA. have to make some kind of ruling at every meeting on a highway or sewer project in the five county region, continued White. The decision doesn’t really make much difference, and the Commissioners usually go along with the local jurisdiction. But the “step” at the District Commission should be more than just another piece of “red tape,” asserted White. It’s another forum for citizen discussion, and it’s also the place where important planning points can be raised with federal and state agencies like the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation. “You need the weight of the plan to back you,” said White. White noted a “grant project review” for the construction of a four lane by-pass around the west side of the town of Culpeper that came up at the Wednesday Commission meeting. As part of the Highway Department’s environmental assessment of the project, the Commissioners were consulted. The Highway Department asked: “Has there been any organized opposition?” “Does it disrupt a community or its planned development?” “Is it consistent with community goals, such as proposed land use?” “Is it compatible with your regional planning?” The Commissioners knew there was organized opposition because a number of people had come to the meeting to protest the new bypass. But the Commissioners said they didn’t have sufficient information to answer the other three questions, so they just sent the record of what was said at the meeting to the Highway Department. The town of Culpeper has not yet joined the Commission. What the Highway Department plans to do is build a four-lane limited access highway practically right through the western'section of Culpeper. Culpeper Mayor Carpentar thinks the highway is necessary to move traffic from “one end of town to the other.” The main street in Culpeper is overcrowded, he says, and some residential streets are overburdened with truck traffic. The town would have to cut down trees and widen these streets if the bypass wasn’t built, argued the Mayor. However, State Senator French Slaughter, who said he was representing himself “and some other people,” was opposed to the highway plans. If the bypass .is needed it should be built farther west, outside the town limits, said Slaughter. It might take longer and more money to move the road, he conceded, “but it would be better.” THE HIGHWAY would go right Lee and Wrangler Jeans-Carhartt Overalls and Jackets . . .

Planning From Page 3' through “Mt. Run bottom,” said Slaughter. ‘‘Most of it is flood plain.” The town already owns the right-of-way, and it should remain open space, argued the State Senator. The Town Council in Culpeper has supported the highway plan a number of times, said Mayor Carpenter, but not since a new council was elected last spring. Two of those Council members told the Commissioners that they were opposed to the bypass plans. Councilman Tom Douty said the new Council might vote differently on the highway project now. It would be wise to wait until more information concerning the proposed bypass is gathered, he said. Council member Alice K. Potter called Mountain Run bottom the last open space in town. More than 50% of the building permits in Culpeper are for multi-family units, she went on, and the town should preserve open space for them. Mrs. Potter added that a street might serve the town’s needs better than a four-lane high way. ORANGE Supervisor Richard Sanford, who was acting as chairman of the District Commission meeting, thought the issue was too complicated “for us to decide.” The rest of the Commissioners agreed to just send the record of what was said at the meeting on to the Highway Department, instead of answering the questions. After the meeting, White said that with a regional plan, the Commissioners could have made some kind of a comment to the Highway Department. White felt strongly that with a regional transportation plan the District Commission could recommend alternatives to the Highway Department’s penchant to always build a four-lane highway or an interstate any time a transportation problem exists. In Culpeper, the problem might be better solved by routing traffic on one-way streets, said White. “But I’d need a plan to make such recommendations. ”□ Christmas Greetings Slay your Christmas star lead you to a richer, happier life: warm with love, bright with joy, secure in peace. We take this opportunity to thank you for being such good friends. We're grateful for your goodwill and loyal patronage. Superintendent Robert R. Jacobsen recently presented James R. (Bob) Johnson, Supervisory Park Ranger of Shenandoah National Park’s North District, a $200 Special Achievement Award under the Incentive Awards > Program of the U.S. Department of the Interior. The recommendation for the award was based on his outstanding service during the period March 31 - May 16, 1974, when the Chief Park Ranger was attending the FBI National Academy, and the Assistant Chief Ranger position was vacant. During that period, Ranger Johnson discharged many of the important functions of their positions, in addition to those of his own as North District Ranger. Bob is a native of Rappahannock County and is married to the former Stella Dennis of Flint Hill. They have two sons, Dennis and Jamie, and live at Park Residential Area. PANTHER j Cindy Cumins “Three more days until vacation, fa, la, la, la, laaaaa, la,la, la,la! Time for fun and relaxation, fa, la, la, la, laaaaaa, la, la, la, la!” That Christmas spirit does it to you every time! Things have been busy during this last week of school before Christmas vacation. The S.C.A. met Tuesday to come up with some more definite ideas on how to use the money they have accumulated this year. It’s been decided that a portion of the money will be distributed among different departments at the school that most need and could best use it. The S.C.A. is also making plans for a Sweetheart dance for after Christmas. The news is that the picnic tables that are being built to be used in a student lunch area have been completed and will soon be put outside for student use. The F.H.A. sponsored a beautiful display of hand-crafted eggs in the trophy case all this week for the students’ enjoyment. The eggs were made by Mrs. Paul Poling of Amissville. Mrs. Linda Toth and some of her senior English students have been working on a play to be presented for the student body Friday during, the Christmas assembly. The choir will alsa be making its contribution to the program Some concerned students have been' working on a campaign to urge R.C.H.S. students to help keep the cafeteria a little neater by pitching their trash in the trash cans instead of leaving it on the table as many have been doing lately. So if you see a friend or fellow student being a little messy, drop a hint A new dimension has been added to our basketball games. At the request of some of the players each game from now on will begin with the singing of our National Anthem and music will be played during the warm up periods before the games. Last Tuesday was the first game that either was done and it was a nice gesture that seemed to add a little more spirit. Don’t forget that school will dismiss at 2 p.m. Friday and have an extra special Christmas vacation. It’s a nice time to give, especially of yourself!□' WE HELP YOU.
