RICHMOND 19, VA. 232L9 : How to help farmers x County’s planners discuss an old problem By PEKAY PETTUS SINCE they didn’t have any rezonings or anything like that to consider,, members of Rappahannock County’s planning commission devoted their last meeting to a discussioi) of the “Master plan” being concocted for the County. And their talk kept returning to a familiar theme: How can planning help county farmers stay in business? The commissioners wanted to know about the “timetable” for the new comprehensive plan. Stephen Lessels of the Piedmont Environmental Council staff said that PEC will begin work on an “environmental inventory” around the first of February. Maps reflecting this exercise will probably be completed in early April, he added. “We have much of the basic data compiled already,” Lessels said. ‘‘And we expect no problems.” Pete Luke wanted to make sure that whatever is designated‘‘flood plain” on the maps will meet requirements for flood plain designation set up by HUD. ‘‘We want to make sure we’re eligible for that insurance,” Luke said. Planning Commission Chairman Herbert Barksdale noted that an engineering firm, Clifford and Martin, made a study of future water and sewage projects for Rappahannock County some years ago. Barksdale thought this should be considered when the comprehensive plan is drawn up. “It would be well to give that a lot of thought. The problems are going to grow and now is the time to get it in the plan.” PETE LUKE asked Lessels how Flint Hill Fire Department has purchased a new rescue squad motor unit which was put into operation January 25. The 1974 Dodge van was purchased and equipped in Markleysburg, Pa. Emory Russell, Frankie Huff and Douglas Bywaters brought it “home.” The unit is well equipped, has more room which provides better working conditions for the squadsmen and better service for the patients. Cost of the new unit was in the neighborhood of $18,000 as it stands equipped. Last year the Flint Hill Rescue Squad answered 110 calls and traveled a total of 5,256 miles which consumed 980 manhours. Anyone wishing to make a contribution on the new unit may contact any company member. Donations will be appreciated. If you wish to inspect the new unit, call Frank Huff, Captain, who said, “Do not forget, we are always ready to serve you.” Phone numbers for the squad are 6753389, 675-3252 or call 675-3611. many “man hours’’ will be involved in the PEC study. Lessels said he couldn’t make an estimate, but half the time will be spent doing “field work” and the other half on “graphic work” back in the office. Luke suggested that before PEC “gets too far down the road” on the environmental inventory study, that PEC, the Planning Commissioners and representatives from the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection should get together.for “a meeting of the minds.” They will meet at the PEC office in Wabrenton. Gene Wunderlich, who has been compiling a study on the ownership of land in Rappahannock for the Department of Agriculture, said his study reached several conclusions. There should be “improved tenure arrangements,” including more provision for the renting of farmland; the breakup of large parcels of farmland should be restricted; purchasers of lots for new houses should be attracted to land surrounding existing villages. Fete Luke agreed that those suggestions might be good ones, but he thought they might require state enabling legislation before they could be accomplished. WUNDERLICH noted that the private market, on its own accord, is not providing incentives to help farming. He emphasized that renting arrangements could have an extremely favorable effect on agriculture. “As long as land is idle, regardless of who owns it, it has agricultural potential.” Pete Luke noted that agricul ture has been dropped from the curriculum of high school vocational programs throughout the Piedmont area. Some vocational subjects, such as shop, couldlater be used in farm work, but there are no classes taught specifically from an “agricultural point of view.” Walter Masterson said that protecting larger farming tracts would mean that housing development would be clustered in towns. “At least, that’s the way I understand what you’re saying,” Masterson said, nodding towards Wunderlich. But if development is clustered in towns, that makes public sewer just about inevitable, Masterson said. “And you’re talking about a heck of a lot of money when you talk about water and sewage.” A.Y. Stokes said the idea of expanding the villages and preserving the farmland “is fine, in theory.” But, Stokes said, terrain around several villages in Kappahannock, and the pattern of ownership, may make that theory unworkable. Some of the land around the villages is just not for sale, he said. Walter Masterson noted that Wunderlich’s study found that 16% of the population owned 77% of the land. DAVID FANNON thought that development around Flint Hill and Woodville wouldn’t necessarily stop development up and down country roads. Fanning Baumgardner agreed, unless there is some restriction on the break-up of agricultural land. Baumgardner said there is See Page 11 School administration realignment approved WARREN AND RAPPAHANNOCK Counties will operate as separate school divisions in ftie employment of personnel after July 1, 1975. The decision was reached by the Warren Board following a joint meeting of the two school boards after 0. A. Norton, present superintendent, informed both boards he will retire at the end of the current school year. In announcing the decision, Ben Lacy, chairman of the Warren Board, stated that growing enrollments, administrative demands of State and Federal agencies, and the increasing work load in the administration of a present day school system prompted the action by the Warren Board. Warren and Rappahannock now comprise one of only two remaining county school systems that share the same superintendent.□

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washii«ton C75-334* Guest editorial Library use up AN enthusiastic round of clapping shattered the usual serenity of the Rappahannock County Library when Ruth Blackwell, in her librarian’s report, revealed the 1974 facts to her board of directors Thursday evening, January 23. Miss Blackwell reported: “First, a comparison of total circulation shows that we checked our nearly twice as many books in calendar year 1974 as we did in 1973. To be sure last February’s book review contest contributed to this increase, but there were over 350 books borrowed in both October and November past. This was more than in any month in 1973.” She added: “About 200 new borrowers were issued library cards last year.” - “Another significant fact,” continued Miss Blackwell, “that came to light is that the category which had the highest circulation both years was juvenile fiction, followed closely by adult non-fiction.” A VISITOR to the Library will notice that a great effort has been made to update the juvenile section. Mrs. Jane Forward and Mrs. Grace Sims, both professional librarians who have retired to live in Rappahannock, have been real forces in this rejuvenation. Miss Blackwell also pointed out that the library staff found that many of the books in the adult section were appropriate for the young adults. She said, “Some PR effort must go into educating all of us ‘grey beards’ that ‘young adult’ means from about age 14 to whatever. A number of senior citizens have been pleasantly surprised when they have borrowed a book with the YA sticker on it.” THE REPORT continued: “We have made a start toward a reading corner upstairs where patrons can spend an hour or two in comfortable lounge chairs and relative reading quiet, surrounded by reference books, the Virginia shelves, and the section on history and travel they often wish to brouse through.”□ “Close-ups” The Closeup last week was a slow-bl^|use (spring loaded) not recognized by many readers.

Letters to the editor Clinic is praised Editor: , Twice in less than 18 months I have needed emergency medical assistance. Since Mrs. Hodge and I visit friends in Sperryville rather frequently, I have been wondering if another such need should arise what sort of problem I might encounter. Our home in Connecticut is 15 miles from New Milford where I have been taken to meet our Doctor who lives about ten miles on the other side of the New Milford hospital. Imagine how pleased I was today when my host took me to see the new private medical clinic in Washington, Va. and to learn that two well-trained young doctors had just completed a most attractive building which houses thoroughly modern medical facilities. In addition to general office and waiting room and the M.D.’s private offices, there are an up-to date operating room, an X-ray room with brand new equipment and dark room for immediate development of pictures, a laboratory in which all the necessary regular tests can be performed, and a small pharmacy. Further, a registered nurse is in attendance at all times. Dr. Werner Krebser and Doctor Gerry Martin take turns in staffing their schedule from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. week days and 9-12 office hours on Saturdays. Besides, these two doctors may be reached for emergencies during the night hours in their respective county homes. Let me congratulate the Rappahannock county community for its good fortune in having such ex-' cellent'medical facilities and staff available in a matter of minutes from their home. G.T. Hodge Book review contests to be staged again LAST YEAR more than 200 students entered the Rappahannock Library’s book review contests. It was the first time such contests had ever been offered in the county. This year because of requests on the part of some of last year’s student participants, and because of the stated approval on the part of the principals of both the Rappa Race date is March 1 THE Rappahannock Hunt’s Point-To-Point Races are scheduled to take place at 11:30 a.m. Saturday, March 1, at James W. Fletcher’s Thornton Hill Farm on Sperryville Pike. Entries from north, south, east and west are expected for these strenous, early season competitions. Eight races are scheduled for horses—The Pair Race, The Double Gate Turf for Ladies and Gentlemen, The Mount Salem for Ladies, The Rappahannock Hurdle Race, The Mary D. Slaughter Memorial, The Durant Hill Hurdle— Amateur to ride, The Mount Marshall for gentlemen and the Ben Venue for gentlemen. THE Final race, ninth, is the colorful Hound Race. This unique event features no mere Hunt Pack out on display, but the best hounc^ out of the farmer-owned packs, the moonlight packs, the truck hunting packs and the hunt club packs.□ hannock Elementary and the Rappahannock High school, the Library will again offer its book review contests to all students who are residents of Rappahannock county regardless of which schools they attend. One contest for fifth graders and one contest for sixth and seventh graders will start February, 6; one contest for eighth, ninth, and tenth graders and one cqntest for eleventh and twelfth graders will open February 14. This year the Library will not have to borrow books from other regional libraries in order to meet the book needs of the contests. Ruth Blackwell, Librarian, announced: “The 1,152 new books which we have added to our regular shelf collection since last April make it possible to offer a varied, modern and lively selection from which the contestants may choose.” MISS BLACKWELL added: ‘‘This year the contest will be easier and, we hope, more fun because you may choose any book in the library you wish to review... not just those in certain categories. We’re looking forward with pleasure to seeing even more than the 25% of the country’s eligible students who entered the contests last year, come through our Library doors as contestants this year.” A panel of impartial literary judges, all residents of the county but not connected with the Elementary school or the Library, will evaluate the reviews and award the prizes. Cash prizes, prize books and certificates of merit will be awarded at a Library party to which all contestants and their parents and teachers will be invited.□

The Delegate’s report By DEL. D. FRENCH SLAUGHTER, JR. THE General Assembly is now in the third full/ week of the 1975 session. Over 780 bills have been introduced in the House of Delegates and over 400 bills have been introduced in the Senate. I think it -is clear that the General Assembly cannot consider all of these bills within a 30-day session and the-session will probably be extended to 45.day&.-Under the Constitution there can be no restriction on the type or volume of legislation to be introduced and this makes it all the more difficult to hold the -session to 30 days. I favor a session of the General Assembly every other year in the even-numbered years with a length of 90 days, which I believe will be: more .efficient than a 60day session in one year and a 30day . session in. alternate years and would be just as efficient as a; 60-day session each year. In spite of . alii, efforts to speed up the .work at thfr beginning of the session, it always takes a certain amount of time to schedule committee hearings and committee meetings to review and consider a large volume of legis lation. Once the process is underway, I believe it is more efficient to extend the session to complete as much work as possible. THERE are frequently matters of urgent public concern that arise every year and that may require legislative action, but even when the legislature was meeting every other year (prior to 1970) there was a special session every year which usually lasted one or two weeks to handle emergency legislation. Special sessions can be called by the Governor or by a two-thirds vote of each house of the General Assembly. It is possible that there may be other beneficial effects of a regular legislative session every other year, such as enactment of a smaller number of new laws (hopefully fewer minor revisions of the law) and a greater possibility of the accumulation of surplus funds because with a regular session every year the tendency is to appropriate any surplus that may be on hand. The use of surplus funds for capital outlay certainly keeps the state in a sounder financial condition and causes less demand upon the cur Pre-school registration SUPERINTENDENT of Schools O.A. Norton has announced that children who will enter the first grade in Rappahannock County next year will be registered at the Rappahannock . County Elementary School on Tuesday, February 18, and Wednesday, February 19, from 9 a.m.. to: Noon and from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. All children must be accompanied by a parent or some other adult. Every child in the County who will be six-on.or before December 1, 1975, is to be registered by his parent or guardian. Letters will be sent from the school indicating on which of the two days parents are to bring their children for registration. Parents are reminded that they must present an official copy of their child’s Birth Certificate at the time of registration, a Certificate from a hospital is not acceptable. Parents who do not have an official Birth Certificate should bring $2.00 to cover the cost of securing this record. ^ THE PUBLIC Health Nurse, Mrs. Frances Thornton, will be present at each registration session to explain to parents the required procedure for health examination and immunization of their pre-school children. For information call the Rappahannock County Elementary School. The School's telephone number is 987-8259.U Fried Oysters / Scallops 2 Hot Vegetables — Salad Bar $2»o Children under 12 12:00 Baked Chicken Steamed Shrimp Dessert — Tea or Coffee 7:30 p.m. $395 Adults Hy-Wy Restaurant A 1525 Shenandoah Ave. Front Royal, va. J rent tax revenues. However, due to the falling tax revenues of the state government this year, there would have been little possibility of a surplus regardless of this year’s legislative session. THE Commission on Constitutional Revision which was appointed in 1968 and reported to the General Assembly in 1969 recommended a 90-day session every other year and I voted to support this proposal, but the majority of the General Assembly voted to provide for annual sessions in the new Constitution. A proposed constitutional amendment h^is been introduced in the Senate providing for 90-day sessions every other year and I hope that this proposed amendmend will be passed by the legislature. Constitutional amendments must be passed by two sessions of the legislature and then approved by a vote of the people in a statewide election. A bill has been introduced to more than double salaries of state legislators and I am opposed to this bill, as well as any increase in salaries. Expenses to reimburse for the approximate amount of expenses normally incurred while in Richmond or for additional staff for the legislative committees may be justifiable, but an increase in legislator’s salaries is absolutely contrary to the need to hold state appropriations in line with revenues in order to balance the budget and avoid deficit financing. Such a salary increase would also be a step towards a full-time legislature to which I am opposed. I believe Virginia will be better served by having part-time members of the legislature who spend by far the greater parf; of their time in their home communities and earning their living from some other occupation. This way I think we have fewer unnecessary laws and a better understanding by the legislators of the needs and views of the public. I will have another legislative report next week.D 1/3 to 1/2 OFF All Winter Merchandise To Make Room For New Spring Stock Arriving Daily s Your Happy Shopping Store In Downtown Culpeper

, PANTHER TALES Cindy Cumins - Though the snow may be unpredictable it seems to come at the right times. Students enjoyed an unexpected two-day vacation last week when school was called off Monday and Tuesday because of .snow. The snow days came during the middle of exams which gave some a little extra time for more studying and others a chance to recuperate after their first tftO exams the preceding Friday. In either case it was a welcomed break for everybody. - -The annual staff is still working hard^on this year’s publication with March as the deadline. Several more JLC.H.S. students have been accepted by colleges. They are: Jim Lum who’s been accepted by the University of Georgia; Anne Stokes, Virginia Weslyn and Andy Nichols, Lyn viiwui 5 uuntgc. Report cards were distributed Wednesday. Mr. Douglas reminds all those interested that a basketball clinic for boys grades four through eight will begin February eight and continue into April, then possibly the summer. The hours are from eight, to ten in the morning, and parental permission slips will be necessary to participate. Mr. Douglas, along with many of his players, will coach the boys. It sounds like A..gRO<J Qpportunity for our ydtirig up-coming' basketball players; a good way to give our future Panters an early start. Speaking of basketball, our Junior Varsity Panthers played a really fine game against the Page County Panthers last Friday. The final score was 43 to-42 in favor of our team. It was a close game and the victory was well earned! There will be a P.T.A. meeting coming up in the. near future. I’d like to remind parents that at this time 'there will be a display of projects, done by Mrs. Toth’s English students as part of their exams. The projects were chosen by the students and range from illustrated children’s books to slide presentations and a model log cabin. The projects are well worth a trip to see. Teachers will soon be resuming their Standards of Quality meetings. An S.C.A. meeting was held last week which included S.C.A. officers and representatives and all other organization presidents. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss ways to improve school pride and spirit among R.C.H.S. students. Mr. Wingfield attended the meeting and shared his views with those attending as they did also with him. l hey re hoping to work together to come up with ways to instill feelings of pride and overall caring among R.C.H.S. students for the school itself and each other. It’s a beginning and students are interested and willing. Since the last meeting student concern has been evident especially in the improved lunch room conditions. Another meeting has been scheduled for this Thursday. The most improvement will come with students who are willing to give a little of themselves and of their time to make R.C.H.S. a better place in every way. What’s needed is a little extra caring on the part of us all and that’s what we’re hoping for. Have a nice weekend. Note: Miss Piccard would appreciate any copies of “Othello” that could be made available for her tenth grade English class.□ FLINT HILL MEET Flint Hill Fire Company will hold a meeting Wednesday night at the fire house beginning at 7:30 p.m. All members are urged to be present.□ Lynn Atkins of Flint Hill was awarded the trophy in the big game contest sponsored by the Rappahannock Fish and Game Club.

County planners discuss problem From Page 1 a county in Wisconsin that doesn’t allow the division of farmland into tracts smaller than 50 acres. Sp, anyone who would buy that land would probably be buying it to farm,. not just to build a house. Such a restriction is possible only if other small lots are available for building houses. “You have to show you’re not exclusive.’’ Baumgardner said he’d made a preliminary study of how to expand the villages, taking into consideration what could be done with the, terrain. Using existing roads— with no new road or street construction — approximately 80-100 new houses could be built within a 1,500-foot^ radius around the existing towns-. It’s important to figure up how many neur"liouse lots could be made available, Baumgardner said, because the legality of an ordinance, drawn up with the restriction of breaking up farmland in mind, would depend on whether or not it excluded people who didn’t want or couldn’t afford farms. Baumgardner agreed with Fannon that encouraging development around the towns wouldn’t accomplish anything, unless restrictions were placed on the break-up of larger parcels. Herbert Barksdale wondered what would happen to the subdivisions “scattered all over,” which are legal lots of record but haven’t been built on. “Would this eliminate them?” he asked. “We’ll just have to live with those,” Baumgardner said. But he added again that there is a potential for 500 new building sites around the existingRB-1 districts. “ALL THIS we’re talking about is’ just a ‘look-see’ proposal,” Pete Luke said. “What I want to do is find out where these existing subdivisions are on the secondary WASHINGTON NEWS Mr. and Mrs. Kermit Weakley had as their guests Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Harry Dwyer and granddaughter, Miss Kim Bell, and Mrs. Fred Chewning, all of Woodbridge.

That might be where the growth will go.” Herbert Barksdale said‘‘enough tracts have been bought up to be divided; we’ve got to consider something in making up these lot sizes besides slope.” Walter Masterson brought up public water and sewer again. Sewers pretty much direct where growth goes, he said. Jim White, from the Planning District Nine staff, acknowledged that certain ‘‘trade-offs” are necessary. ‘‘If you’re going to keep your sewer systems small, it’s more expensive for the users.” Pete Luke noted that the sewer system proposed for Sperryville is a ‘‘no-growth” system. It will only clean up the existing problem, not pave the way for more growth, he said. BUT THERE is a problem with what is permissable for sewage in Virginia, he said. “There’s the outhouse, the septic field and a giant regional system. Not much in between.” A.Y. Stokes and David Fannon said they could see that a restriction on breaking up farmland, such as a minimum lot size of 50 acres, might be the best way to preserve farming, but they both anticipated a lot of public opposition. “We almost got hanged when we asked for five acres,” Fannon recalled., Jim White noted that any developer who is willing to pay for his own sewer plant could, right now, divide up most of the farmland in Rappahannock into one and two acre lots. “And you have a lot of big landowners and a lot of absentee landowners. Somebody might be putting together the capital to do that.” Picking up on Fannon’s comment, where he anticipated opposition to a move to restrict the breaking up of farmland, Luke said, “As the population grows and people move in here, the laws (toriwcc THE FUNERAL HELPS ONE TO FACE THE FUTURE The funeral provides the environment where friends and relatives can give the help needed to face the future.

Fanning Baumgardner told the commissioners that three proposed changes to the subdivision ordinance and five proposed changes to the zoning ordinance will be discussed at the March meeting of the Supervisors. The planners will have a chance to meet and go over the suggestions before then. AN EROSION and sedimentation control ordinance will be considered at the April Supervisors meeting. This ordinance, or a similar one initiated by the county, has to be adopted, under a new state law requirement. Representatives from the Soil and Water Conservation Service will be in Rappahannock to discuss the ordinance at that meeting. Phil Irwin, president of Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, presented a resolution which RLEP wants to be forwarded to the Supervisors. The resolution lists seven areas that RLEP would like to see designated “critical environmental areas.” “This would not affect the ownership, just draw public attention to their significance,” said Irwin. Irwin invited the Planners to feel free to add additional areas to the list before forwarding it to the Supervisors. The planners accepted the resolution, but took no action at their meeting Wednesday night, January 22.□ r A* » C QUALITY THtATUt NOW THRU TUESDAY Eves, at 7 & 9 p.m. Mat.
