Rappahannock News, May 22, 1975

Volume XXVI, Number 28 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, MAY 22, 1975 FIFTEEN CENTS $3.90 tax rate to be advertised RAPPAHANNOCK’S Supervisors have recommended a tax rate of $3.90 per $100 of assessed value to fund the 1975-76 county budget. The proposed tax rate was lowered from the current $4.10 per $100 because the assesed value of county real estate has increased from $7,926,170 to$10,035,000, confronting most county landowners with a major tax increase, if the rate stays the same, chairman Pete Luke said. The Supervisors’ action came during a special meeting last Thursday night which was a continuation of the board’s regular meeting from May 1. Proposed budget expenditures were $57,842. 77 in excess of proposed revenue, based on the current $4.10 tax rate. The Supervisors made it clear from the start of the meeting that they hoped to reduce the tax rate, but accountant Walter Cox, whom the county hired to prepare the budget, told them a 10 cent reduction in the tax rate would mean a $13,000 increase in the deficit. “So to reduce the tax rate, some severe cuts are needed,’’ Pete Luke said. “And any significant cuts will be in personnel or the school board budget,’’ Luke said. Then the Supervisors turned their attention to what could be cut and by how much. Much of the budget had already been cut to the limit, Luke said. After all, the Supervisors don’t have a say over the salaries of the county’s constitutional offi cers. The state compensation board recommends an increase, and the county has to pay its share, he said. The Supervisors are assuming that increase will be 5 per cent, but they won’t know for sure until June, Luke said. He noted neither the sheriff nor the commonwealth’s attorney will get any increase. THE SUPERVISORS, Planning Commissioners, zoning appeals See Page 15 SCC okays aLL corridors proposed by Vepco THE VIRGINIA State Corporation Commission last Thursday finally approved Vepco’s proposed powerline route through Fauquier and Rappahannock Counties, much to the dismay and professed surprise of local officials and citizens who have fought the powerlines for the last five years. The Fauquier Supervisors, the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection and any other interested groups have until June 14 to appeal the SCC ruling to the State Supreme Court. But the officials and citizens who have fought against the powerlines seemed largely resigned that an appeal Trooper honored A DINNER honoring retiring Trooper, W. A. Buntin of Washington, was held Saturday evening at the Coach and Caverns in Luray given by fellow members oT Area 14 of the Second Division of the Virginia Department of State Police. Approximately 180 people were present to extend best wishes to him. Trooper Buntin has served with the V.S.P. for over 29 years, all of which has been in Rappahannock He is a native of Halifax County. In addition to his wife and daughter, local citizens and fellow workers, Trooper Buntin was joined by his family for the event, a brother and two sisters. The dinner reservations provided also for gifts from those attending which had been selected by co-workers and included a jigsaw, a bench vise, a sander and wood rasp. Mrs. Buntin was given a framed color photograph of her husband in full uniform, also. TROOPER R. A. Baines, on behalf of Johnny Beaver and Trooper R. D. Irvine of Luray, and himself, presented Mr. Buntin a Smith and Wesson .38 calbre pistol which was engraved with his name and dates of service. Captain Corvello and Sgt. Brown of the Virginia Department of State Police and Trooper J. B. Willis who formerly served in Rappahannock each made comments. Trooper D. I. Peer was Master of Ceremonies for the dinner. Details of the dinner party were arranged by Trooper G. F. Gregory and Investigator K. L. Miller and their wives.L. Trooper W.A. Buntin, center, will retire June 1 after serving over 29 years with the Virginia Department of State Police. He was feted with a retirement dinner in Luray Saturday and was joined for the event by his family which included his daughter Nancy, wife Betty, at left; sisters, Nancy Jennings of Danville and Fannie Kamminga of Falls Church and Lowell Jennings, right.

The three SCC judges, who are appointed by the state legislature, authorized the construction of a 500 kilovolt (kv) powerline from Vepco’s Mt. Storm, W. Va. generating station through Frederick, Warren, Rappahannock and Fauquier Counties to a proosed substation near Morrisville. As part of this “interdependent” powerline construction program, the SCC also proposed the construction of powerlines from the proposed Morrisville substation through Culpeper County to the Vepco North Anna Nuclear Generating Station in Louisa County; from Morrisville to an existing substation in Remington; from Morrisville to a proposed substation near “Bristers Junction” (Bristersburg) in Fauquier County; and from the Remington substation to a proposed substation at Warrenton. FAUQUIER Circuit Court Judge Rayner V. Snead is expected to approve the location of Vepco’s powerlines in Fauquier now that the SCC has made its ruling. Judge Snead delayed action on Vepco’s suit against the Board of Supervisors in 1973 until the SCC had made its ruling. Vepco See Page 19

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washii«ton 675-3349 1 Countryside-wreckers EXPRESSIONS of dismay greeted the news that the Virginia State Corporation Commission has given its stamp of approval to some giant, hideous powerline projects which will slash through some of the most beautiful countryside in Virginia, or anywhere. And rightly so. Never, in our opinion, did the power companies demonstrate convincingly that they couldn’t just as well use existing pcwerline corridors, a concept that has received support among environmental agencies throughout the nation. Furthermore, the bulldozing of new powerline corridors at a time when actual electric use has been declining, and growth expectations subjected to drastic revision, seems even more questionable. But in Virginia, what public utility firms want, they get, whether it’s higher rates (direct or disguised), or preferential treatment, or pollution variances. It happens all the time, and there is no great expectation that it will stop happening. Powerline corridors and power rates, as several Fauquier officials noted with a shrug, are just something Vir ginians will have to learn to live with. WELL, maybe so, but that still doesn’t mean that Virginians shouldn’t stop fighting to preserve their beautiful heritage. And if the powerline fight made some people stop and think a little bit about what all this “progress” and upto-date living really means, then it will have accomplished a lot. Electricity just isn’t a trouble-free magic genie, after all. Flipping a light switch or turning on an electric razor puts into effect a far-flung sequence of events that means not only “labor-saving” conveniences, but the ravages of strip-mining, the tyranny of ever-increasing rates, and the ugliness ofeverlarger powerline installations. “Ecologists,” nature-lovers, conservationists, “bug and bunny people,” the citizens who have pointed out that technological development is not an unmixed blessing, to say the very least, have been widely castigated and reviled. It’s time everyone started paying closer attention to what they’ve been saying. □ SOC decision ED HARRIS of Huntly, a retired newspaperman who now dabbles in real estate and champions the charms of Rappahannock County, owns property which will be directly impacted by Vepco’s powerline proposals. He has been in the forefront of efforts to thwart these designs, and when we asked him for a statement he said he’d call back later—he was that upset. He brought in a statement a few hours later, which he admits he wrote while he was still upset, angry, and “feeling like a squashed tomato.” The statement follows: I BELIEVE that the decision of the State Corporation Commission is dramatic and outrageous proof that the people of Virginia cannot expect a fair shake from state regulatory bodies that are appointed to protect the people. The SCC in particular has now shown - itself to be so utility-oriented, so willing to be the lapdogs of the rich and powerful power industry, that it ought to be removed forthwith by the State Legislature and members selected who will truly protect consumers against in creasing rates and property owners against ugly, dangerous and totally unnecessary new powerlines. In their place we should and one day will have commissioners who, as already charged by law, will represent the interest of all consumers and property owners instead of the power interests. The decision is particularly reprehensible because there is absolutely no way—repeat, no way— that the construction of this vast new wound across our scenic countryside can be justified in terms of need. There is actually a surplus of energy now, as reported by the powerlines themselves, and Vepco’s predictions of future demand have been scaled down from a growth figure of ten per cent a year to six and a half percent; yet the facts show that present growth is near zero. Thus we have authorization of a tremendously expensive new transmission facility that not only is not needed now or in the foreseeable future but will cost so much that consumers already heavily burdened with skyrocketing rates will have to pay “Close-ups’* ™ 4 i No replies were received to last week’s photo which was a shingle roof so here is another to try.

Letters to the editor Gun control law needed Dear Editor & citizens of Rapp: I never thought I would be one to be writing to make a complaint. Sunday night an innocent young man (21 years old) was gunned down. My understanding was he didn’t have a chance. This is happening too much in Rappahannock. Can’t we have better gun control laws in Rappahannock? We have meetings about everything else. Citizens, let’s see what we can do about the gun control law now before this happens to one of our loved ones. I’m the mother of five teenagers (three boys and two girls.) Thanks for printing this letter. Annie Clanagan still more. We are in a recession. Usage of electricity is down, not up, and down substantially because of higher rates, because of the economic slowdown and because consumers are practicing conservation. It may be years before we know which way the economy is going, and what our future needs will be, yet instead of postponing a decision to determine future needs more accurately, which would have been both prudent and wise, this commission has seen fit to act now to give Vepco and Potomac Edison everything they asked for—in spite of the totally different picture in electric usage. EVEN Charles B. Finch, president of the Allegheny Power System, Inc., parent company of Potomac Edison, said in New York on May 12 that “we must turn our methods of planning upside down” and fit construction plans to available funds when necessary. But the SCC wasn’t listening; it has now conveniently made it unnecessary for PE and Vepco to turn anything upside down to fit their pocketbooks. Thanks to the SCC, here it comes again, more high-tension, powerlines to scar the landscape and endanger our health, and even higher electric rates to pay for this folly. When will the people do something about this kind of ripoff, this local Watergate scandal? When will we learn, too, not to support candidates for the governorship who, when elected, first hire Vepco’s director of public relations—as Mills Godwin did—and then defend and support Vepco’s requests for higher and higher rates, until due to public outcry he is finally induced to name a commission of inquiry, which of course can do nothing? I AM also sorely disappointed with the effectiveness of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, whose leadership insisted, contrary to common sense, to base its case on the contention that existing corridors must be used for environmental reasons—with no other alternative route to fall back on. RLEP also refused to hit hard at Vepco’s most obvious weakness—the startling fact electric demand is down so dramatically; and finally, I cannot understand the position taken by RLEP’s president, Phil Irwin, that House Bill 664, which was adopted a year or so ago, is a good bill—a measure that takes away from Rappahannock and other counties their right to act on applications of utilities for construction transmission lines within their territories. Were it not for the quick passage and signing of this bill last year, we could now take steps to block the line locally could understand Vepco’s strong support of this very bad bill, but I cannot comprehend Mr. Irwin’s view that it is a good thing. Of course we can appeal the decision to the State Supreme Court, and on my motion some months ago, the RLEP approved such an appeal. But as Irwin has often pointed out, such appeals are virtually useless. Our RLEP lawyers already have been paid over $50,000, and such an appeal, which I still favor, would cost a few thousand more. What we will have for all this money, when the case is lost and closed, is the faded remnants of all those rosy, empty predictions that we will win—and the start of the erection of those massive, vulturish steel towers to forever remind us of the greed and the folly and the shortsightedness of little men.D

Producers may qualify for disaster payments when failure to plant or produce a normal crop on a feed grain or wheat farm is caused by: abnormal weather conditions such a& drought, flood, excessive rain, hail, unseasonable frost, high winds, etc.; or when excessive crop damage or destruction is due to insect infestation or plant disease, drifting herbicides, or livestock or game animals not under control of the producer on the farm. The disaster provisions of the program require personnel of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS) to inspect and appraise the damage done to a crop prior to the awarding of payments. Disaster payments are made for two major causes: prevented plantings and abnormally low yields. A PRODUCER may qualify for prevented planting payments if, due to a natural disaster, he is prevented from planting an acreage of wheat or feed grains at least equal to the sum of the wheat and feed grain allotments on his farm. A producer may qualify for an abnormally low yield payment if, due to a natural disaster, the total production for a crop is less than the farm acreage allotment for that ' crop times the disaster program yield. Certification of feed grain and wheat acreage will be required only if a claim for a disaster payment is filed. Anyone having questions about this program as it may apply to their particular situation should contact the county ASCS office, said Glenn Ransone, County Executive Director. □ Traffic accidents THREE minor traffic incidents occurred in Rappahannock since last reporting, from Hope Hill to Flint Hill. Last Thursday, Trooper R. A. Baines investigated a two-vehicle accident at Hope Hill on Route 626. Involved were Franklin Grimsley in a ’66 Chevrolet and Shirley Ann Hitt in a Chevrolet also. Both are from Castleton. Grimsley was cited for failing to drive to the right of the road after the vehicles collided. Both drivers sustained minor injuries and both vehicles were totally damaged. Saturday at the intersection of Routes 211 and 522 in Sperryville Ray Middleton of Strasburg in a ’65 Chrysler made a left turn into the path of an approaching vehicle. He collided with Susie Pullen of Sperryville in a ’61 Ford station wagon. Minor damage was sustained by the vehicles but no injuries were reported by Trooper Baines. MIDDLETON was charged with failing to yield the right of way, said Trooper Baines. Cherly Kreitzer of Amissville skidded on Route 729 and went down an embankment last week. She was operating a ’67 Chevrolet traveling north on the road when she met another vehicle on a bridge. When she applied the brakes, the car skidded off the road, said Trooper Watson. Damage was estimated at $100.□ A World of.

From a NYC ‘beat’ to Rappahannock BY PEKAY PETTUS PATROLLING the highways of Rappahannock County is quite a change after patrolling the streets of Bedford-Stuyvesant, New York City, Jonathan Watson of Flint Hill soon learned. A year after leaving the police force of one of the world’s largest cities to become a State Trooper in the Virginia countryside, Jonathan Watson is convinced he made the right decision, personally and professionally. He has been on the job in Rappahannock since last May, and Watson has reached some conclusions about the differences between an urban and a rural way of life and how those differences affect the law enforcement office’s job. Neither he nor his wife Dianne regret leaving New York, the only place either of them had ever lived, to move with their two children to Flint Hill. Jonathan Watson was one of 225 policemen assigned to New York’s 83rd precinct, which covers less than two square miles and contains more than 150,000 people. Now he is one of three Virginia State Troopers assigned to Rappahannock County, which has 264 square miles and less than 6,000 people. As a New York city policeman, Watson was on duty during the student demonstrations at Columbia University and the riots that followed the shooting of Martin Luther King. Working in a precinct with a large population of ethnic and minority groups, he once helped to deliver a baby to a Spanish-speaking woman, who spoke no English. Smiling wryly, Watson says he doubts he’ll repeat any of these experiences as a trooper in Rappahannock. “I GUESS people are the same everywhere,” Watson said, ‘‘but in New York everyone wears a hard shell; you almost have to. You’re one in eight million, where everybody’s a number and not a person. * Nobody’s personality shows through. So you keep your guard up, too.” Almost immediately, Watson recognized the lack of that kind of closed, defensive attitude in Rappahannock County, he said. ‘‘People are more relaxed here. So you can be more relaxed in your job as a police officer.” The public’s attitude toward a police officer’s job is different in the country, Watson said. ‘‘After we moved here, you could sense immediately the respect that people here have for tradition and authority. That filters over into their attitude toward a police officer. Unlike here, everything changes so fast in the city, no one ever puts down roots.” ‘‘But the city is a good place to make money,” he said. As a trooper, Watson makes less than half what he did as a New York city policeman. And despite what many people think, it’s not so expensive to live in New York, Watson said. “I know food was a lot cheaper, and some appliances, like Former New York City policeman and current Rappahannock state trooper Jonathan Watson, his wife Dianne and their son Jonathan, Jr. Daughter Dawn was in school. New and Used Cars and Trucks PIEDMONT Chevrolet-Oldsmobile, Inc. 814 N. Main St. Phone 825*2161 Culpeper. Va. televisions were too.” The job in Rappahannock is quite a contrast to the one in New York for other reasons too, Watson said. Crime in an urban area is more frequent than crime in the country, but it is also of a more violent nature, he said. As a rural area is suburbanized, the volume of crime increases and the types of crime committed change too, becoming more violent, Watson said. He cited Fairfax County as an example. “IT’S FUNNY that I’d make that last statment today,” Watson said, “this afternoon I have to go to the commonwealth’s attorney’s office because we’ve charged three men with armed robbery,” he noted ironically. “But there really is less violence in the country. Most of it here is family feuding, usually t because there’s been too much to drink,” he said. Bedford - Stuyvesant, Watson’s old precinct, is regarded as one of the roughest assignments within the New York City police force— ‘‘more militant than Harlem,” he said. ‘‘A lot of the young policemen get assigned there,” he said, ‘‘maybe because they’ll get broken in sooner. But it’s similar in Virginia; a lot of the new troopers are sent to the metropolitan area of northern Virginia first. In New York, the older officers, once they have some seniority, try to get reassigned to better areas.” Despite the number of people in his old precinct, Watson said he got to know quite a few of them. ‘‘I spent most of my time on a scooter, on patrol. After a few months, you get to know a tremendous amount of the people from See Page 8 1 TWICE AS between pgmp starts new GLASS-LINED “CONSTANT PRESSURE” TANK...

From NYC to Rappahannock From Page 7 the routine work, investigating accidents, breaking and enterings, family disputes and runaway children. Soon a lot of faces are familiar. But you get to know the bad element first,” he said. MUCH OF the violent crime in New York is not committed by drug addicts, a popular misconception shared by many people, Watson said. ‘‘Though drug addicts are the greatest cause of buglaries, trying to get items to ‘fence.’” ‘‘I don’t have the statistics, but I’m almost sure that most violent crimes are committed within families or among friends,” he said. Watson took a minute off to check on that last statement. He returned with a book, ‘‘The Challenge of Crime in a Free Society.” Reading from this, he said 31 per cent of the murders in the United States occur within families and another 48 per cent take place among ac quaintances. “Much of the crime, murders and robberies, things like that, take place with a cheaply made hand gun, the kind usually bought for ‘self-protection,’” Watson said. But New York and most other northern states, from Pennsylvania to Massachusetts, has strict gun control laws regarding handguns, Watson said. Jonathan Watson thinks these laws are good, and he makes it clear he is talking about gun control for handguns, not hunting weapons. “People who have rifles don’t shoot too many people,” Watson said. “Of course, some people legitimately hunt with a pistol,” he adds, “but that’s more out in California and the West, not here.” “But gun control is a more important issue in an urban area. Those laws probably aren’t needed in Lee County (rural southwest V irginia), but when you look at how the crimes commited with hand Culpeper Firemen & Rescue Squad ANNUAL FESTIVAL WEDNESDAY through SATURDAY May 21, 22, 23, 24 • Culpopor Agricultural Enterprises • Parade Thursday Night, * May 22, 1974 • RIDES • GAMES • PRIZES Norman Long and Frank Pynero cordially invites you to our Grand Opening on Friday, Saturday & Sunday 23rd, 24th, 25th of May from nine to six o'clock in the evening at Mam Village Routes 522 & 340 South one mile South of the Double Tollgate light White Post, Virginia 22663 703-869-2900 Antiques- Interiors - Decorations - Jewelry guns have increased in Fairfax, they might help there,” Watson said. JONATHAN WATSON was on duty during many of the “riots” that took place in New York City during the 60s. “The first of the riots was in Harlem in ’64,” he said. “After that, they happened in Watts, Chicago, everywhere.” “When something like that happens, the police department drops its daily schedule so that extra men can be brought into the riot area. Twenty-five policemen in the midst of 1,000 demonstrators can do a world of good. But the policemen need good leadership. You can’t let verbal abuse or getting spattered with pig blood bother you.” “What you do, of course, depends on what takes place in front of you. But generally, you let minor violations go. Things you would normally arrest people for, you just ignore. One way we made some arrests was with the help of rolling cameras. People thought a lot of their actions went unnoticed, but plainclothes policemen had made the movies,” Watson said. Virginia State Troopers are taught to handle “just about everything,” Jonathan Watson said. The training program covers a wider spectrum of topics than the New York city police training program. “But training for New York police work placed more emphasis on classroom study and criminal law. In the Virginia State Police training program, emphasis was shifted to accident investigation and highway related subjects. THE NEW YORK city police HUNTLT MRS.

One entire squad has spent years studying art history, Their special training is needed because so much stolen art is brought into New York to sell. And they help with detecting some of the ‘fake’ paintings, he added. For similar reasons, another squad is made up of experts in the field of gems and jewelry. The city also has to have police officers who know the different languages spoken by residents and recent immigrants in New York, Watson noted. In New York, the police department responds to all emergency calls. “And unlike Adam 12, (a television show about urban police) we usually get there before the fire department or the rescue squad,” Watson said. “But that’s how 1 happened to be there to help the Spanish-speaking lady with her baby. Thank God the ambulance got there when it did.” L>oes a policeman ever become afraid while on the job? “Oh sure,” Jonathan Watson said. “Mainly you fear the man who just doesn’t have his senses and has a gun.” Though Watson is all too familiar with funeral services for fellow officers who have been killed in the line of duty, he said, “you may be surprised to know that the greatest number of policemen killed in the line of duty are in the South, in the states with the weakest gun control laws.” In addition to taking a big cut in salary when he left the New York city police force, Watson forfeited other benefits. New York city policement can retire after 20 years, Virginia State Troopers after 30. Watson had been a policeman in New York for more thansixyears, none of that transfers toward his 30 years with the Virginia State Police. But he doesn’t regret his decision. “New York was no place to bring up the kids,” Jonathan Watson said. He and Dianne have a daughter Dawn, 8, and a son, Jonathan Jr., 6. “After I knew I wanted to leave the city, I wrote to state police departments. Finally I narrowed it down to New York State or Virginia. I was accepted by both, but the mail from Richmond was faster than the mail from Albany.”□ HOMECOMING Thornton’s Gap Regular Baptist Church will have their annual homecoming on Sunday, May 25.

Scenic rivers Rappahannock-Rapidan objections voiced BY MARK HELMKE CONSIDERATION of the state study proposing “scenic river’’ designaton of parts of the Rappahannock and Rapidan Rivers has developed into another classic confrontation concerning government attempts to control the use of natural resources. At public informational meetings May 14 in Fredericksburg and May 15, in Culpeper, opponents to the scenic river plans—many of them landowners along the Rapidan River irt Orange County — called the Virginia Commission of Outdoor Recreation’s (COR) study another government ploy to “take over’’ their land and their lives. Proponents of scenic river controls for the two rivers applauded the effort to conserve the country’s diminishing natural resources, but also worried that the rivers might become over-used if the government becomes involved. The City of Fredericksburg is also against scenic river plans. No dams can be built on a scenic river, and Fredericksburg still wants to have a Salem Churchtype dam on the Rappahannock River. Some state studies have said that Fredericksburg’s future water needs could be met with smaller dams on tributaries of the Rappahannock, but the city wants water for lots more growth, in any event. FREDERICKSBURG also has a $450,000 investment to protect in 4,300 acres of riverside property. T^e city bought this land from Vepco in 1969 to facilitiate the now defunct Army Corp of Engineers’ Salem Church Dam plans. Fredericksburg owns 377 acres in Fauquier County along and near the Rappahannock. None of this land is taxed. Fredericksburg City Manager F. Freeman Funk attacked the proposed scenic river designation at the hearing Wednesday, even though there was strong support expressed for the scenic river plan by many Fredericksburg area residents, it was reported. A COR staff member said last Thursday in Culpeper that a compromise might be arranged with Fredericksburg on the scenic river plans. The COR study extends to the city limits, but the staff member indicated that the COR might recommend terminating scenic river designation at the Game and Inland Fisheries Mott’s Run Park, about eight miles up rSalad Bar 2 Hot Vegetables SUNDAY, MAY 25 d Haddock Leg of Lamb Pan Fried Chicken Livers Dessert — Tea or Coffee Adults *4.25 12:00 - 7:30 p.n.

The city still owns a considerable amount of land above this point, but would have land to build a sizable dam below. But from the show of opposition expressed at the Thursday hearing in Culpeper, the COR will have to worry about Rapidan River landowners who object to any government intervention. THE TWO! informational hearings were the first of a series of hearings that will be held on the COR’s scenic river study. Virginia Governor Mills Godwin directed the COR to study possible scenic river designation last year after the Army Corps of Engineers announced that the Salem Church Dam was no longer economically feasible. The study covers a 29mile stretch of the Rappahannock from Remington to Fredericksburg and 35 miles of the Rapidan from the village of Rapidan in Orange County to the river’s confluence with the Rappahannock. There is no doubt that both rivers meet the state and national guidelines for scenic rivers, COR director Rob Blackmore and Dave Strunk, from the federal Bureau of Outdoor Recreation told the meeting Thursday in Culpeper. The only question is “should” the rivers be so designated, they said. If the two river sections are named scenic rivers by the state legislature, the rivers can not be dammed or impeded in any way. An agency would also be named, probably the COR, to administer the scenic rivers to make sure the rivers are not over-used, and to encourage limited recreation access points and encourage protective zoning and easements along the river front. The agency would also have the power to condemn or buy riverfront property. THE STATE legislature would not have to approve scenic river designation of the rivers if they became national scenic rivers. Strunk said the Department of the Interior can designate the rivers “scenic” now if so desired. Strunk said there are advantages to state designation, however. There would be more control of any possible over-use of the two rivers if they were state scenic rivers, he said. Both the Fau quier Supervisors and the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission have supported state control of the two rivers if designated as “scenic.” The COR hasn’t made any recommendations yet on how the two proposed scenic rivers would be controlled and administered. The COR staff working on the study has met twice with citizens and elected officials on an advisory committee to work this out. No decisions have been reached. Fauquier Supervisor Chairman James Austin is on the advisory committee. At the Culpeper meeting, a member of the Rappahannock (County) League for Environmental Protection asked why the Rappahannock River isn’t being studied above Remington. Blackmore said the portions under study are taking all the COR’s time. Hopefully, other portions of the river can be studied at a later date. Fauquier County has tentative plans to build a dam on the Rappahannock River on the unstudied portion near Waterloo. WILLIAM MOLLAN, an Orange County landowner on the Rapidan, led the attack against the scenic river study. Mollan said very few landowners on the Rapidan favor the scenic river plans, yet the “government wants to ram it down our throats.” The state is disregarding the feelings of the property owners, “and wasting our tax money with this study,” in order to satisfy a “hunch of do-gooders,” argued Mollan. Blackmore tried to explain that scenic river designation will only prohibit dams, nothing else. This meeting was being held to ascertain how the property owners and others felt about how to administer the scenic rivers, he explained. Culpeper County farmer Russell Inskeep still didn’t like it. Inskeep argued that the scenic river study was “the government’s attempts to get the foot in the door.” “Next thing you know they’ll take your house and your life,”he argued. “The government keeps chipping away at our freedom,” said Inskeep, who advocated dropping the scenic river study now. Blackmore said he couldn’t. The governor and the legislature dirSee Page 13 WARDS Lawn & Garden Center ghanandoah Av«. From Royal. Va.

There is a good chance no new zoning would be encouraged, he continued, if the counties already have conservation-type zoning on the riverfront.

Due notice of any public hearing will be given. more, “we’re not going to take anything.” “It’s just the first step,” warned Mollan. “If you can’t get an easement, you’ll condemn.” WILLIAM PARKINSON from Fauquier argued that “everything ha its trade-offs.” “I’m willing to give away my right to develop in return for the protection of the river,” he said. Parkinson’s only concern was that the scenic river designation might encourage over-use of the rivers. “We could destroy it by loving it too much,” he warned. An Orange landowner said he took no issue with Parkinson. But he was concerned that the river would be “protected” by “bureaucrats.” Charles Seilheimer from Fauquier argued that the property of die riverfront land owners would increase in value if the rivers were made “scenic.” Scott Carter from Fauquier added that the only authority in the scenic river controls is “nodamming.” “Man has an obligation to look after the rivers,” said the son of Randy Carter, who led the fight against the Salem Church Dam. “Man can’t create a river, but he can destroy it.” Another Orange landowner interrupted to remind everybody that the riverfront property is private. “We don’t need the help of the state,” he said. “We’ll keep it up ourselves.” THIS SAME point was made again and again. The landowners wanted Blackmore to move to stop the scenic river process before it goes any further. Blackmore said he could not take such action, but said he got the message that most of the Rapidan River landowners were against the scenic river proposal. He told them that they should notify their legislators about how they feel. “If it’s political, we’ll have no say,” said Bob Shelton of Remington. □ BIRTHDAY PARTY Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Noakes of Flint Hill entertained Saturday at a birthday party for their daughter, Amy, who was three.

$3.90 tax rate to be advertised From Page 1 board, and school board members will not receive any additional compensation over their current rate; the budget requested by the welfare department has already been slashed; their request for an additional staff member had been turned down, Luke said. The budget of the zoning department had also been cut, Luke added; he and Fanning Baumgardner had seen to that. The remaining budget requests, over which the Supervisors could exercise much choice were $414 proposed as Rappahannock’s share of a district agency on aging, $250 as the county share of $5,000 worth of new radio equipment for the sheriff’s department, and an additional $400 for emergency technician training for the fire and ressuc squad crews. Even if all these requested are omitted entirely, savings would amount to a little more than $1,000, Luke said. “So any real cuts are bound to come out of the school budget or personnel, if want to make any impact,” Luke said. The Supervisors decided to cut the school budget from a requested $1,184,205 to $1,116,059. This reduces school board expenditues from a proposed $730 per child to $700 per student. The Supervisors’ budget reduction would give Rappahannock teachers an overall salary increase of 5 per cent, down from the 9 per cent they requested. ACCOUNTANT Walter Cox recommended that the county spend part of their federal revenue sharing allotment for capital outlay for the school system. A total of $116, 000 of the revenue sharing funds must be spent by June of 1976, or future revenue sharing grants to Rappahannock would be cut, Cox said. Cox also suggested that the Supervisors could save the county some money by shifting several expenditures out of the general fund into revenue sharing, which the Supervisors agreed to. But that announcement didn’t come until after a brief “executive session” for the Board of Supervisors. The bookkeeping change wasn’t the announced reason for the closed door session. Chairman Pete Luke suggested that the board meet alone to discuss cuts in the school board budget, specifically salary cuts. It needed to be in closed session because they’d be discussing the salary cuts by name, Luke said. School board members E.N. Manwaring told Luke he thought such a session would be out of order. Several other members of the audience mumured among them selves that they’d heard of executive sessions for salary and personnel discussion, but never for school board budget salaries. Luke said he’d asked the school board to take the responsibility for their budget and hold a public hearing on it, but they’d “thrown the ball back to the Supervisors” who’d sponsored that public meeting. So, since the school board budget was back in the Supervisors hands, they’d handle it, Luke said. Jennings Hobson said “it was your responsibility to have the hearing, it’s not your responsibility to have an executive session.” SO THE 'chool board members and, the rest of the audience left the courtroom, a bit dismayed and growing disgruntled. “Make the headline on this story 'School Board evicted,’ one school board member suggested during the wait. Within seven minutes, Luke came downstairs to invite everybody back up. He announced that the Supervisors hadn’t made any salary cuts after all, but had decided to shift some expenditures to the revenue sharing category. Accountant Cox reminded the Supervisors that they shouldn’t depend too heavily on revenue sharing to take care of what might otherwise be a deficit. This was a federal program that might get cut off at any time, he said. “Then you’d get a jolt.” tvennetn Kooinson is in lavor of extending revenue sharing,” Luke said. “But he wants it to be audited.” “Well, what can we do?” Luke asked his fellow board members. “It appears we can’t do any more to the school budget than we’ve already done. Could we take 10 per cent off everybody’s operating expenses?” He asked clerk Ned Jones if the proposed $1,200 to repair the books was necessary. “If you don’t want the books to fall apart,” Jones said. Luke said he “could live with” cutting the library budget. He still felt the recommendation he’d made to Mary Jamieson, about tapping non-resident county landowners for donations, would bring in some extra money there. The Supervisors left the appropriation for the library at $5,666, the same as last year. “There have to be some additional ways to bring in money, other than the property tax,” Luke said. He wondered aloud if a real estate tax could be placed on property that changes hands. “$7.6 million of real estate was sold in this county last year,” he noted. “I wonder if we could put a WANTED SCRAP CAST IRON W* art now paying $2«00pwcWT up 1000 Ibt. Ow 1000 lbs. $2.50'"'C*T Any Q—mtiw. Dtlivarad to o*ir yard in Culpapar. ft Taylor Foundry Culpapar, Virginia 825*8334 1% tax on that.” CLERK Ned Jones said there is already a .9% tax on real estate sold. ‘‘We could make it an even 1%,” Luke thought. Jones said he thought state law prohibited that. After the supervisors decided on a tax rate of $3.90, Luke noted that this leaves the county with a $40,000 deficit, which will have to come out of the county’s surplus funds which are now about $100, 000. ‘‘This means everyone is going to have to start living within their means,” Luke said. One of the budget requests eliminated entirely by the Supervisors was $414 for a district agency on aging. Ian Pryde, who had served on the aging council that proposed the idea of an agency on aging, thought it ‘‘pretty dam sad” that Rappahannock’s old people weren’t worth a little more than $400. Orange County has agreed to pay its share of the program, he said, and once it gets established, it may even cost Rappahannock less than is requested for this year. Supervisor H.B. Wood said he’d talked to a number of elderly people in his district, and not one of them favored the proposed agency. E.N. Manwaring noted he’d not been at the Supervisors’ regular meeting when a number of people voiced support for the aging agency, but he added that the Supervisors’ action didn’t preclude the people of Rappahannock taking private action to help elderly citizens. Maybe the council on aging is not the answer, he said. “Maybe it would get too bureaucratic,” Manwaring said. That’s exactly what the old people in his district thought, H.B. Wood said. A SUM OF $250 for radio equipment for the sheriff’s department stayed in the budget. An assistance grant obtained through the District Planning Commission will pick up the rest of the tab on the $6,000 of new equipment. The total general operating fund was left at $979,898.33, which the Supervisors cut from $992,121. The entire budget will be advertised in the Rappahannock News prior to the public hearing on the budget June 5, at the regular meeting of the Board of Supervisors.— Pekay Pettus BRIDGE PARTY Mrs. Frank Spalding of Flint Hill entertained at bridge Thursday.

Bettendorf, social security district manager in Winchester. “The cards are mailed about three months before the end of the school year to students getting social security'checks,’’ Bettendorf said. “The information on the attendance report helps us decide if the students can continue to get monthly payments. Delay in returning the report card can mean a delay in future payments.” Full-time students 18 and over who remain unmarried can get social security checks until they’re 22 if a parent gets social security payments or has died after working long enough under social security. ABOUT 700,000 students in colleges, high schools, and trade schools get monthly social security checks. “Students who need help with the attendance report or information about social security benefits can call or write any social security office,” Bettendorf said. The Winchester social security office is at 20 South Cameron Street. The phone number is 667-1511.□ Winning first place in the 50-yard dash were Mike Leake, Glenn Fletcher and Tracy Welch, 9, 10 and 11 years old, respectively.

n v • ™ m —-■ — -— . . _ Powerlme corridors approved From Page 1 sued Fauquier after the Supervisors tabled action on Vepco’s powerline location permit. The Supervisors had tabled the powerline issue so that the SCC could study the environmental impact of the proposed powerline routes and possible alternative route. The Fauquier Planning Commission had recommended to the Supervisors that the powerlines be denied. Despite the SCC ruling on the powerlines, Fauquier’s special attorney on the case, L. Lee Bean of Arlington, said that Vepco still has “less than a half loaf.’’ Bean said he expects Judge Snead to grant Vepco the authority to build the powerlines in Fauquier, but “assumes” that some appeal will be made. Judge Snead would probably delay any ruling until after an appeal has run its course, said Bean. Many officials and citizens who have been involved in the Vepco powerline case over the years did not know of the SCC’s ruling until they were asked for comment Monday. A number of Fauquier’s Supervisors expressed displeasure over the SCC action, but worried about the cost and effectiveness of an appeal. The Supervisors next scheduled meeting_ is June 12, two days before an appeal would have to be made. PHIL IRWIN of the Rappahannock (County) League for Environmental Protection said that he has not had time to talk to his Much mower.

SWAN’S FACTORY TRAINED SERVICE PERSONNEL J.A. Swan, Jr. & Co., Inc. v* 201 East St. 825-8371 'A. Culpeper lahgest lawn a garden equipment deale* in thisaaea fellow members concerning an appeal. Irwin had previously said that RLEP will appeal the case if the SCC ruling was unfavorable. Vepco has argued that the powerlines are needed to increase service and lower electricity rates in the growing Northern Virginia area. Opponents claimed that Vepco could use existing utility corridors for the powerlines instead of destroying additional rural land. As part of the SCC study of the powerlines a computer study was made to ascertain the best route. Some route changes were proposed. However, a majority of the SCC judges supported the route originally proposed by Vepco. SCC Judge Junie Bradshaw dissented in part from this ruling. He supported the alternative route using the existing utility corridor around Sumerduck. The alternative would be less costly and have less adverse environmental impact, said Bradshaw. IF THE final decision by the Supreme Court or Judge Snead is also favorable to the powerlines, Vepco will still have to obtain a use permit from the Fauquier Board of Zoning Appeals. William Embrey — chairman of the Fauquier Planning Commission, from Remington, said, “I’m disappointed. This will take hundreds of acres of Fauquier land, and I’m not quite sure, but I think we did some research to show that this will cross and recross roads in southern Fauquier 20 to 30 times.” Embrey said he didn’t know whether Fauquier County would want to appeal the case. “I’d prefer to, /but we haven’t put as much money in this as we should have. This opposition to the powerlines hasn’t had 100 per cent support in Fauquier. The original powerline requests were denied by the Supervisors and the Planning Commission, but in the fight against Vepco, others have carried our end of the load, Embrey said. “People in southern Fauquier are more affected by this, but there’s no big money down here to help fight it. I’d like to think we could appeal it, but I don’t want to recommend appeal if we won’t be putting up much money.” ‘‘The SCC is a political animal,” Embrey added. ‘‘I hate to see it,” Fauquier’s Cedar Run Supervisor David Botts said. “But in view of what’s happened to the electric rates, I guess it had to happen. I’d want to talk it over with my constituents before I say whether or not we ought to appeal it.” Sam Butler, Fauquier Supervisor from I 'e District, said, “Personally I don’t want to see it (the powerline), but we’ll have to live with it. I guess we could appeal it, but I doubt it would do any good.” W. P. Dinsmoor White, executive director of the Piedmont Environmental Council, called the action of the SCC “a monumental decision against our efforts toward preserving the visual order and scenic quality of this Piedmont countryside. This creates a situation in which Vepco can run a line anywhere they wish at any time,” White said. He added,‘‘This means that every landowner in the area who values the beauty of his place has a threat over his head at some time in the future.” Fauquier’s Marshall District Supervisor Jason Paige noted that the proposed powerline will go through ‘‘one of the wildest and prettiest parts of the county, the area around Linden. I am very disappointed. I had hoped that we would be able to stop it.” Paige said he wasn’t ready to make any comments concerning an appeal of the SCC decision. ‘‘We’ll have to discuss this in a board meeting and see what everybody wants to do,” Paige said. PHIL IRWIN, president of Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, said he was ‘‘terribly surprised and disappointed” at the SCC decision. ‘‘We felt we put on a great case,” Irwin said. ‘‘We feel the environmental impact is substantially greater in a new corridor and we thought we presented sufficient evidence to substantiate that,” he said. But Irwin was encouraged by SCC member Bradshaw’s dissent. ‘‘The RLEP membership has approved an appeal. But the question now is the funding of that appeal, Irwin added. ‘‘We don’t REAL ESTATE FOR SALE NEAR CASTLETON: 5 acres with brick home: Excellent construction in this 2 year old brick home consisting of 4 bedrooms, 2-1/2 baths, living room, dining, large modern kitchen with plenty of cabinet space and dishwasher. 2 fireplaces.
