Rappahannock News, March 27, 1975

Volume XXVI, Number 20 RICHMOND 19, VA. 23219 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 1976 FIFTEEN CBNTS i (Part Two) Who owns Rapp BY PEKAY PETTUS ULTIMATELY, it is the decision of the individual land owner, not a planning commission or governing body, that determines land use. Public legislation, such as zoning or preferential taxation, affect land use more as a guide for individual decisions than as a direct regulatory force. So concludes “Land Along the Blue Ridge,” a study of land use and ownership in Rappahannock County, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to find out what is happening to the pattern of land use and ownership in rural counties impacted by a metropolitan area. Gene Wunderlich, senior agricultural economist, said the draft report of “Land Along the Blue Ridge'* represents a pilot study, the first of its kind in the fiation. In making the survey, the Department of Agriculture surveyed both landowners and parcels of land. An article in last week’s Rappahannock News reported on the conclusions of the survey concerning changing patterns of land use. This article deals with the survey’s conclusions about the land owners, who will ultimately make the decisions of land use. THERE ARE an estimated 3,032 owners of 4,756 land parcels in the county. Most of these owners are husband-wife (59%) or single (25%) persons, and a smaller proportion of owners are partnerships other than husband wife (9%) and other owners such as estates, corpora tions and government. The percentage of land held by these types of owners is about the same, husband-wife, 55%, single 23%, partners 11%, and others about 11%. The survey was based on a sample of parcels. All 139,117 acres of land outside the Shenandoah National Park were included in the survey and every parcel, regardless of size had an equal chance off being in the sample. Less than half of the owners of land in Rappahannock are residents, but they own more than half the land. About half the owners are non-residents who own much less than half the land. A few owners are not classified by residency; they are corporations, institutions or estates. These “residence unclassified” represent 7% of the owners and 8% of the land. Fifty-three per cent of the owners of Rappahannock County parcels live outside the county, but they own only 42% of the land. The difference between the portion of owners and the proportion of land held by non-residents would be even greater were it not for the fact that one non-resident owner holds over 8,500 acres, nearly 5% of the non-park land and almost 10 per cent of the acres the Census would define as land in farms. Some perspective on the absentee owners is obtained if freJtnow that two-thirds of the non-residents live in northern Virginia. These “near-by” residents own nearly four-fifths of non-resident held land. IS THERE a trend in proportion Luke says he won’t seek re-election COLONEL E.P. LUKE of Sperryville, Supervisor for Piedmont District and chairman of Rappahannock’s Board of Supervisors, has announced he will not be a candidate for re-election. Luke said he does not have any kind of public statement to make on the reasons for his resignation. Luke currently serves as the Supervisors’ representative on the county Planning Commission and the Rappahannock-Rapidan District Planning Commission and as chairman of the county’s Trash Committee. He said he plans to ask the Supervisors at their next meeting to appoint someone else to these posts. Luke said he will continue to serve as chairman of the Board of Supervisors during deliberations over the county budget but once the budget is adopted he will resign the chairmanship and serve only as Supervisor from Piedmont District, until the end of his term. Luke was appointed as a Supervisor in the summer of 1973 to fill the unexpired term of Mrs. Betty Coates. He was unopposed in the general election following his appointment. □ of land owned by non-residents? Because there are no earlier surveys of ownership with which the current resident and non-resident owners can be compared, that question can only be answered indirectly. The survey included a question on year of acquisition. Fifty-four per cent of the land and parcels owned by residents have been acquired since 1965, while 65% of the parcels and land held by non-residents has been acquired since 1965. This may indicate a trend toward non-resident holding. Perhaps, non residents holdings just change hands more rapidly. The ownership of land in Rappahannock County is highly concentrated. Much of the land is held by a few owners and a great number of holders own very little land. Sixty-five percent of the owners, those having 25 acres or less, own only seven per cent of the land. Sixteen per cent of the owners, those having more than 100 acres, hold 77 per cent of the land. The high degree of concentration is due in part to the different purSee Page 3 Springtime is circus time and Rappahannock is no different from other places.

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-8349 Who’s ‘negative’? IT’S amazing what some pe< ople regard as “progress,”and it’s doubly amazing when you realize what their idea of “progress’ ’ would mean for this part of Virginia—the Northern Piedmont, one of the most beautiful portions of the North American continent, one of the most beautiful, places to be found anywhere in the world. This lovely land of rolling hills, cultivated fields, fenced pasture and scattered farms,, connecting a series of wellestablished small towns—some rich in history, some not; some interesting architecturally, some not; almost everyone comfortable and livable—would be transformed into something entirely different by those in favor of “progress.” In one, all those fields and pastures would be criss-crossed by houses and shopping centers, connected by four-lane superhighways, knitted together by high-powered tension lines, sprinkled with sewage treatment plants, and animated by constantly moving vehicles. The more enlightened advocates of “progress” would do all they could to “plan” all this, putting up attractive facades and keeping billboards and neon signs to a minimum, putting power lines underground, wherever possible. Another level of awareness in the “progress’ scale would try to concentrate on building up ex isting towns and establishing “new towns,” in an effort to keep some open countryside, but how they’d do it in freewheeling free-enterprise America, especially Virginia, is not explained very satisfactorily. Besides, what open spaces that might be left are likely to be spray areas for sewage effluent, landfills for sewage sludge or just plain old garbage, or parking lots for commuters. WELL, these are versions of “progress” that have quite a few advocates, not only in Virginia but throughout the United States. From what we read, the lure of this peculiar vision is almost world-wide. No thanks. Because we reject this idea of “progress,” this newspaper has been occasionally criticized for being “negative,” for being reactionary. But who’s being negative about the Northern Piedmont— someone who wants to see its beauty preserved and enhanced, the opportunities offered by small town, rural life widened and improved? Or someone who wants to see it transformed into a landscape of highways and cloverleafs, industrial parks and apartment-house complexes, sewage plants and garbage heaps, the very air transformed into a socio-chemical soup of automobile emissions, dust, and noise? Who’s really being neeative?n Birth data reminder THE State Health Department urges parents to make application now for the birth certificates of their children scheduled to enter school for the first time this fall. Beginning in April, pre-school registration will be held for firsttime students and parents will need to prove their child’s age. Approximately three weeks are required to receive the certificate. If the child was born in Virginia, the certificate may be requested from the State Bureau of Vital Records and Health Statistics, P. 0. Box 1000, Richmond, 23208. Application forms may be obtained from local health departments or a letter may be sent to the Bureau giving the child’s full name, date of birth, place of birth, full name of the father and full maiden name of the mother. In all cases, requests should be accompanied by the fee of $2 for each copy desired. If the child was born in another state, the request should be sent to the Vital Statistics Office in that State’s capital city. “Close-ups” The close up contest photo last week was a rubber band and was correctly identified by several readers.

Letters to the editor Some suggestions for embassy tour Editor: The following letter has been sent to the Rappahannock County Extension Service: I was interested to read in the Rappahannock News of March 20 that you were organizing an Embassy Tour for May 17. I agree with you that it is important for the people of this country to learn about the customs of other countries. But in visiting the Embassies of Chile and Indonesia, I hope that your group will keep in mind the serious and widespread violations of human rights which are occurring in those two countries. In Indonesia there are 55,000 prisoners who have been in prison camps for as long as ten years without being tried, without the right to elementary due process, and without having been charged for any offense. For example, Mrs. Ina Anis has been jailed since 1970 without cause. She has never been tried or even accused of any crime. She has been separated from her children and she is in poor health. Wouldn't it be a good idea if the group from Rappahannock County asked about Mrs. Ina Anis when they visit the Indonesian Embassy? Ever since the coup brought the present Chilean Government to power, there have been horrible, well-documented reports of political executions, torture, and unjustified imprisonment. During the last year a few well-known persons have been released, but 1,500 new arrests have occurred, and brutal torture has continued. When you visit the Embassies of Chile and Indonesia, I hope you will ask about these human rights violations. David Weissbrodt Boston, Va. Citizens: Fight! Editor: To Mr. Ed Harris of Jordon River Farm, the Citizens of Rap panannocti county are indented tor his effort to secure information concerning Potomac Edison and its exorbitant bills with the coy and disconcerting phrase at the bottom, “Due to Fuel Cost Increases.” Apathy is the curse of the American people. Everyone wants to see unfair advantages eradicated; no one takes the time nor makes the effort to do anything about the issues. A Public Utility is a servant of the people, not a haven for high salaried parasites who cry “Expansion” when statistics prove expansion is not needed. We, the people, pay those salaries and we, the people, see our land desecrated by high voltage lines. Therefore, we, the people, must rise up and voice our disapproval by pen, by vote, by petition or by any othdr means possible. The old adage that you can not fight City Hall is no longer true. Our electric bills are too high without reason. If necessary we must write to demand a reduction in those bills even if that reduction means a few thousand per year less for the Boys in the Front Office. , Write to the good Editor of the Rappahannock News. Offer your suggestions for attack. Circulate a petition at your church; your P.T.A.; your Civic Club or any other organization. We must assert ourselves, present a united front and demand an equitable utility charge. This is our battle, no one else will fight it for us. Mrs. Donald G. Fridenstine Castleton

T g L I T T L E F 0 X Who owns Rappahannock? (Two) From Page 1 poses for which land is held. Farming generally requires large blocks, while a recreation or second home site may be just a fraction of an acre. However, there are many small farms and many large holdings used for no obvious reason other than ownership. MOST OF the large landholders are residents. However a few large landholders are non-residents. Of the 39 owners who own more than 500 acres, at least 32 are residents. Most of the owners (43%) placed themselves in the “professional, technical, and managerial’’ capacity. These owners hold 64 per cent of the land. The occupation next in importance is “retired,” who are 25% of the owners and hold 15% of the land. Farmers are only 5% of the owners and hold only 14% of the land. Of course, there are many farmers with occupations other than farming and owners with professional or managerial occupations who also farm tend to have large holdings. In the census of agriculture, anyone who operates a farm was classified a farm operator by definition. In the ownership survey, a person was called a farmer only if he so classified himself. In Rappahannock County, as in much of the rest of rural America, the distinction between farmer and other occupations is becoming less clear. That is substantial ownership of rural land, much of it farmland, by persons and organizations that are not farmers. APPARENTLY, Rappahannock is a more popular place to live than in which to work. Among resident owners in the county, 36 per cent are employed outside the county, 28 per cent are employed inside the county and the remainder are not employed. Rappahannock has no large industrial or commercial enterprises, so it is not surprising to learn that most employment is outside COMPLETE ONE-STOP Building Supply Hardware Paint Millwork Lumber WARRENTON BUILDING MATERIAL CO.. INC. ON THE BY-PASS WARRENTON Phone 347-1400 the county. Occupation and income are not unrelated. Given the predominance of professional or managerial occupations among the landowners, one might expect land ownership to be concentrated in the hands of upper income groups. According to the survey, the group with annual incomes of more than $50,000 or more represented 9 per cent of the owners but they held 41 per cent of the land. The 37 percent of owners with incomes of less than $10,000 annually held only 13 percent of the land. Owners in the upper income group are found among residents and non-residents. However, very few non-residents are in the lowest income category. The dominant income class for non-residents was the bottom of the upper income group, $20,000-$49,000. The most dominant income level for residents were the two middle income groups, from $5,000 to $19,999. High income is associated with large amounts of land. Does land produce high income or does high income purchase land. If what respondents said about the relatively small incidence of income from land is true, then it must be that high income purchases land. As one might expect, land tends to be owned by older persons. Of the owners reporting age, 63 percent are 45 and older, holding 87 per cent of the land. Owners 55 and older, 37 percent, own 69 percent of the land. THE accumulation of an estate, including land, is usually related to income which rises with age. Even the acquisition of land through inheritance or gift tends to increase with age. Age of owner is also useful in predicting one source of land ownership transfers. With the present age structure of owners in Rappahannock, one could expect that two percent of the land in the county would transfer through the death of the current owners each year. Owners of land in Rappahannock reported a generally high level of education. Twenty-two per cent reported 17 or more years of formal schooling. Ownership of land should imply an attachment to and interest in the community in which the land is located. The survey asked owners to rate Rappahannock’s schools, roads, recreation and other services. The purpose of the question was not merely to obtain the ratings, but to discover if the respondents had an opinion at all. The most striking feature of the replies to public service questions is the large proportion of non-resident owners who have “no opinion’’ was lower among residents (never more than 14 percent). Residents were most satisfied with schools and fire protection, least satisfied with recreation facilities and trash pickup. Naturally, non-residents would be less concerned with schools than residents, since they don’t receive the service. Their concern, if any, would be largely for the possible effect that school financing would have on the property tax. The survey did support the hypothesis that residents and non-residents do not see their community services in the same way or with the same level of concern. OVER two thirds Of resident and non-resident owners name schools as the most important public service, followed by roads, police protection and fire protection. Residents indicated they would be willing for a greater percentage See Page 14 mm Political Advertisement ■■■■ I will not be a candidate for Supervisor, Piedmont District in the next general election.

Tag deadline is March 31 THE Division of Motor Vehicles reminds all Virginia owners of trucks, tractors, trailers, and motorcycles that March 31 is the deadline for buying new 1976 license plates. DMV Commissioner Vern L. Hill urged prompt action by all owners to avoid a last-minute rush as the deadline approaches. “The closer we get to March 31, the more owners risk crowded conditions in our lobbies. Buying now will save time and inconvenience,” he said. Hill pointed out that this is the last mass renewal for these “miscellaneous” vehicles, because they will now join passenger cars under the convenient staggered-month decal system, using permanent license plates. The plates are available by mail, or they may be purchased at any DMV office or vehicle license agency. Late use of the mails, however, could prevent owners from receiving the plates prior to the March 31 deadline.□ BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT Mr. and Mrs. Jack Atkins of Amissville announce the birth of a daughter, Rachael Ann, March 20, 1975 at Prince William County Hospital, Manassas.

The proposals are to increase the local coin rate for paystations from 10<! to 20C and to charge 20C for calls to Directory Assistance Service in excess of three calls a month except for calls from coin telephones, hospitals, hotels, motels, and from handicapped customers who are unable to use a telephone company directory. The proposed charges were first filed by The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company of Virginia, however, because of the interest in the proposals indicated by other telephone companies, and because of the statewide nature of these services, the Commission has expanded its investigation of such proposed charges to include all telephone companies operating in the State. A public hearing on the proposed rate changes has been scheduled for 10:00 a.m., April 10, 1975, in the Commission’s Courtroom, Blanton Building, Richmond, Virginia. Each telephone company has been directed to file with the Commission’s Division of Public Utilities, on or before April 1, 1975, a written statement regarding the proposed rate changes including information regarding, among other things, the need for such changes, the cost of making the changes, and the additional annual revenue from such changes. The Division of Public Utilities will summarize and tabulate the information received from the companies and present a report at the time of hearing on April 10, 1975. The Commission will determine, after review of the Company’s reports, what further investigation, if any, is needed, and schedule any additional procedural and hearing dates that may be required. Any person who expects to submit evidence, cross examine witnesses, and participate in the hearing as a protestant as provided in Rule 4:6 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure shall file a Notice of Protest as provided by Rule 5:16 (c). Any interested person who desires to attend the hearing as an intervener, or general public witness (not as a protestant) need only appear in the Commission’s Courtroom at 9:45 a.m. on April 10, 1975, complete a notice-of-appearance form to be provided by the Commission’s Bailiff, and they will be given an opportunity to speak.

The county offices, boards and commissions that affect land use, taxation and planning are elected by and from residents. Non-resident'owners, who are also nonvoters, will affect land use, not through county government, but through individual decisions. If the share of land held by nonresidents continues to grow, some mechanism may be needed to integrate land use decisions of nonresident owners with those of resident owners. Landowners can affect land use by their response to various regulations and incentives. Their awareness of and attitude toward land use measures will affect their decisions. The survey questionnaire asked, “Are you acquainted with Rappahannock’s new zoning and subdivision ordinances?” Thirty-nine percent of the resident owners and 64 percent of the non-resident owners answered “No.” At the time of the survey, the ordinances had been freshly debated and widely publicized. Of the owners who admitted awareness of the two ordinances, 49 percent of the residents and 72 percent of the non-residents said they approved of the new regulations. The new ordinances may be more favored by non-residents who have experience with strong land use regulations in other jurisdictions. Then too, residents may be more concerned about their use options than non-residents who are concerned with preserving current use. The proportion of farmers who favored the ordinances was higher than the proportion of other occupations. Fifty-five per cent of the farmers approved and 33 percent disapproved. The professional managerial occupations who make up a substantial amount of the owners was surprisingly un aware of the ordinances. OWNERS were also asked if they were aware of Virginia “land use relief tax” which allows preferential property tax treatment to land in agriculture and selected open space uses. Only one third of the residents and one fourth of the non-residents admitted knowledge of the tax Jaw. As in the case of the zoning ordinances, farmers seemed the best informed. As land owners, farmers would probably have more to gain under the preferential tax treatment and are more likely to have obtained that information. A higher proportion of professional-managerial and craftsman occupations, who are aware of the law, favor the preferential treatment than do farmer owners. Similarly, the proportion of non-resident landowners favoring the law for preferential treatment of agricultural land was greater than for resident owners. Public measures such as zoning and preferential taxation that are intended to influence land use are most effective when widely understood and supported by land owners. The direct regulatory force of such public laws is only a part— perhaps less important part—of their effectiveness. The existence of land use laws also provides a guide for individual decision. Most land use decisions are individual decisions. The combined effect of these decisions will determine the future of the county. Therefore, if the community does have a plan or objective concerning land use, it is important that it be widely known and approved. □ NEEDLEPOINTERS Ladies who will work on the needlepoint square for the Bicentennial will meet at Mrs. Anthony DelGrosso’s in Flint Hill Friday March 28 at 1 p.m.D iMiimiimiHiiMmiiiiiHiiiimiiiimiiiiwiimmmmiii iJMrmt iw: (mwimnY Big Savings On 1974 ( Close-Out Models 1 The new 75 Quiet Line Cub Cadet lawn and garden tractors are here!

Mrs. Louise Smith, on behalf of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Amissville Volunteer Fire Department, presents a check for $2,000 to Russell Pullen, chief of the Fire Company, at the banquet in the new fire hall last Friday night. The Fire Company’s new headquarters, perhaps the largest of any volunteer fire company in northern Virginia, was the scene of the banquet last Friday night. Officials of area fire and rescue companies as well as Rappahannock County guests toured the new facility and enjoyed a dinner prepared by the Ladies Auxiliary. Guest speaker William Spaulding commended the work of the women’s auxiliary in helping the new building to become a reality. PANTHER Cindy Cumins Signs of restlessness were evident at RCHS with Easter vacation just around the corner. The nearer the holiday comes more obvious are smiling, faces and spring fever. The holiday encompasses Thursday, Friday, the weekend and Monday with classes beginning again Tuesday. We had our first baseball game Wednesday which was at home in competition with Warren County The baseball team is giving away tickets in return for cash donations to the team. Cash appreciation awards will be given at a later date this season. All donations will go to the team and would really be appreciated. It’s a worthy cause. The Seniors are still making plans for their trip...speaking of Seniors, in case you’ve been eagerly awaiting the result of that exciting Junior-Senior baseball game which took place Thursday we had a SDlit victory. The Senior girls did overcome the Junior girls, while the Junior boys made a come back by winning a close and exciting game with the Senior boys. It was a fun game for both players and spectators. Thursday was also slave day and at half time of both games, the Seniors were given away as slaves to those holding a winning ticket which had been purchased for 50 cents each. Slave day is a fund campaign sponsored by the Seniors to help raise money for their trip. Seeing what some of the slaves had to do for their student owners, I wonder if they may be doubting that it was worth the price. The next day Seniors could be found pushing paper down the hall with their noses; walking down the hall on their knees; cleaning out lockers and doing various other chores, depending what their mast ers for a day could conjure up! After all, their wish was your command, right Seniors? Thank goodness it was only for a day. Storage sheds made by the Industrial Arts Department are still on sale for $275, or $300 if delivery is required. The shop department also has picnic tables available for sale now.
