Baumgardner resignation accepted BY PEKAY PETTUS RAPPAHANNOCK’S Supervisors have accepted Fanning Baumgardner’s resignation as assistant county zoning administrator, but have asked that he continue to serve as county engineer, building inspector, secretary to the Planning Commission and assistant to the Water and Sanitation Authority. The Supervisors directed Pete Luke to work out “an arrangement” that would make Baumgardner’s technical expertise available to the zoning administrator even though he has resigned as his assistant. Baumgardner’s resignation was effective June 12, but last Thursday was the first time the Supervisors had met since then, and the first time they’d had a chance to take formal action. In his letter of resignation, Baumgardner had said he would remain in the other posts if the Supervisors, the chairman of the Planning Commission, and the Chairman of the Water and Sanitation Authority wanted him to do so. The Supervisors discussed the resignation in an hour-long executive session, also attended by Zoning Administrator Evan McNear and Planning Commission Chairman Herbert Barksdale. One reason for Baumgardner’s resignation was an alleged conflict with McNear over administrative procedures within the zoning office. This dispute came to a climax over discussion of the proposed sale and development of the Rappahannock Ski Area. BAUMGARNDER felt use permits and a public hearing were required if future owners wanted to develop the ski area into an all-year recreational resort which would include parking areas for camper trailers. McNear, initial ly, didn’t think the use permits were necessary, it was reported. McNear is one of the owners of the Rappahannock Ski Area Inc., which is now bankrupt. Owners of the ski area have petitioned the court to sell the property in two parcels. Potential owners of the larger tract want assurance that they can include a camper trailer park in their development plans for the ski area before they sign the purchase contract. A public hearing on the use permit was held by the county board of zoning appeals. The owners of the ski area were directed to reapply under a different provision of the zoning ordinance. Thursday’s executive session was the first time several of the Supervisors had become aware of the friction within the zoning office. Part of the problem, they were told, is the administrative difficulty of running an office which is open only two days a week and staffed by Baumgardner one day and McNear the other. Baumgardner’s letter of resignation referred to a McNear memo. “Recent restrictions on the function of the assistant zoning administrator” and a “somewhat reduced workload” led Baumgardner to question whether the position was “justified or effective,” he said. So the Supervisors accepted Baumgardner’s resignation. Rappahannock will have only one zoning administrator, Evan McNear, and he will have no assistants. DOWNSTAIRS in the zoning office, after the executive session upstairs in the courtroom, McNear said his dispute with Baumgardner had been “minimal” and “friendly.” McNear said he had stayed out of the matter concerning the ski area all along. He has a financial interest in the ski area and thus a conflict of inter Bicentenniel plates , The Patriotism and Citizenship Committee of Amissville Ruritan Club through the club is showing an attractive historical commemorative plate in American porcelain. Pictured in the center of the plate is the Rappahannock County courthouse with the inscription, “Rappahannock Court House, Washington, Va. United States Bicentennial 1776-1976, “all done in blue on the white plate. The plates have a raised rose point border and the back surface carries the complete history of Washington, Va. as inscribed on the monument in the court house square. The Allan Studio of Culpeper captured the clear contour and beauty of the court house, which in turn was outlined in an etching by Memory Plates of Augusta, Ga. A limited number of plates are available for immediate delivery but orders can be placed for the near future with Chairman George Lawrence or committee members Elwood Dean and H.R. Terhune. It has been suggested that these fine mementoes may well be collectors items in a few years, since the Ruritans have an exclusive arrangement with the Memory Plates Company. □ est, he said. The executive session followed a short morning of regular business for the Supervisors. Before the meeting got under way, Elwood Dean and H.R. Terhune from the Amissville Ruritan Club did a brisk business selling Bicentennial plates which have a picture of the Rappahannock Courthouse. Each of the Supervisors got out their money and bought a plate. The plates were $4.95 each, but just about everybody who bought one tipped them a nickel. Dog Warden Jack Bruce said he had one dog claim. Clarence Dearing found a dog killing a chicken. Dearing had killed the dog and wanted to be reimbursed for the dead chicken. “I say pay him fifty cents for the chicken and a dollar-fifty for the dog,” George Davis said, jokingly. The Supervisors decided See Page 6 Montague heads School Board E. N.

SARAH C LATHAM, Managing Editor TtTir-— Washington 475-1349 Save the country WE GOT mildly chastised the other day for having suggested that mountains aren't a proper place to build subdivisions—and not from the bull Run Mountains, the object of the original observation, but from the opposite direction, along the Blue Ridge near Front Royal. Every man's home is his castle—perhaps even every man's second home is his second castle—and we meant no personal insults for choice of home site, but the original observation still hoids. Mountain slopes are definitely not proper building sites, no more than flood plains are. and development in these areas should be discouraged at every opportunity- ityIt strikes us that being in favor of the countryside impels a number of straightforward observations of this sort, and another one that comes to mind concerns commuters. It has been argued that 1-66 out here should be finished to make things easy for long-distance commuters, as if making things simple for commuters were the intent of interstate highways in a time of growing fuel costs and grow ing questions about the wisdom of even short-distance, large-scale commuting. It is certainly not a time when such practices should be encouraged. A BRITISH planning expert made an unfortunate statement at one of the numerous conferences held hereabouts in recent years about how to save the countryside from urban sprawl. The gist of what he said was that in order to save the countryside, we must build up the cities—build them up both physically and esthetically, was - the way we understood his remarks, to make cities more desirable as places to live. Predictably, his remarks have been seized upon by developertypes as providing a rationale for building additional •‘cities,” for developing “new towns” or “service districts” out in the country. This would be nothing more than a more effective way of destroying the countryside, not saving it, and creating more commuters to boot. So. let us truly save our beautiful, and agriculturally valuable, countryside—not subject it to erosion from unwise mountain or flood plain subdivisions, not pave it over for the convenience of commuters, not dot it with “new towns” and teeming "service districts” for the advantage of developers. Z Town meeting report Speeding motorists in the town was one of the primary topics at the Washington Town Council meeting Tuesday night A letter requesting the reduction of the speed limit on business Route 211 from 35 mpto to 25 mph will be sent to the Virginia Department of Highways. Law enforcement agencies are cooperating with the effort to slow traffic in the area and several speeding tickets have been issued according to town Mayor Peter Kramer. A motion was passed, also, instituting “Bank Customer Only Parking’’ in front of the Rappahannock National Bank. Reports were given on the sum mer work projects including the completing of new street signs, playground improvements, painting the fire house and clearing the roadsides of weeds, etc. An ordinance will be drawn and discussed at the next council meeting regarding the trimming and removal of trees which stand on the etkjes of the streets.

John T. Hanna, director, Highway Safety Division of Virginia said major highway safety legislation of statewide interest included: • The legal definition of bicycles now includes those with “helper” motors rated less than one brake horsepower, which produce only ordinary pedaling speeds up to a maximum of 20 miles per hour, provided such bicycles so equipped shall not be operated upon any highway or public vehicular area in Virginia by any person under the age of 16 years. • Dependent children, at least 16 years old, of military personnel can operate a motor vehicle in Virginia using their home state operator license. • It is unlawful to sell any device or mechanism in Virginia which would detect radar on the highways. • The Department of Highways and Transportation has statutory authority to designate specific traffic lanes for use by traffic moving in a particular direction regardless of the roadway’s center. Motorists are required to obey these signs. OTHER legislation affecting highway safety which went into effect before June 1 included: The Virginia Alcohol Safety Action Program (VASAP), which became an official section of the Highway Safety Division on March 24, allows judges to refer drunk driving defendants, by request, to an alcohol rehabilitation program. When the program is completed, the judge may accept satisfactory completion in lieu of a conviction. A report of the resultsof a study of right-turn-on-red intersections in Virginia, jointly conducted by the Department of Highways and Transportation and the Highway Safety Division, is due to the General Assembly and the Governor by Oct. 1, 1975. The study will evaluate Virginia’s present law, which permits a right turn after a full stop at intersections where a sign permits the turn, and an alternate method used in some other states which allows right turns at red signs unless prohibited by a sign.D Marshall Feed & Supply, Inc.

Baumgardner * a From Page 1 to pay him $1.50 for the chicken, and nothing, of course, for the dog. Dog warden Bruce t^old the Supervisors he didn’t want a vacation or a raise, but he would like to become eligible for retirement pay, once he retires. Bruce said he has been told ho is not eligible for retirement because his position as dog warden is considered “part time.” He has been dog warden for 16 years. “I never have been able to understand what was part time and what was full time. I get called every hour of the day and night,” Bruce said. Bruce said he did drive a school bus twice a day until 1969, but in his mind there was no question that the job had been full time since then. The Supervisors agreed. They directed clerk Ned Jones to write the state compensation board, explaining that Bruce is a full time county employe and should be eligible for retirement pay. THE Supervisors accepted the resignation of Evan McNear as civil defense co-ordinator and appointed the Rev. Jennings Hobson to replace him. They agreed to pay for two weeks of secretarial help for Common wealth’s Attorney George Davis while Davis’s regular secretary is on vacation. Davis noted he himself had paid for the extra help last summer. Herbert Foster was not convinced this was an expense the county had to bear. “Well, what are they going to be doing?” he asked. Pete Luke defended Davis’s request. “They have a lot more to do than answer the phone,” he said. “I should have known, when George didn’t ask for a raise he’d be back with something,” H. B. Wood said. Pete Luke read a letter he had received from the Virginia Department of Highway's. The Supervisors had written the Department of Highways several months ago, asking that they complete the improvements to 211 through Amissville as soon as possible. The Highway Department spokesman responded that “substantial allocations are still required” in order to finish the project and reminded the Supervisors of “severe financial difficulties” facing the Highway Department due to the decrease in^ revenues from the gasoline tax.D -NOTICE The General Registrar's Office in Washington, Vo. will be open Saturday, July 12 from 8 a.m. until 12 noon and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. to register those who are unable to come in during regular Thursday hours.

New deputy named SHERIFF John Walker Jenkins introduced his new deputy Martin Luis Orfila to the Supervisors at their meeting last Thursday. Jenkins said Orfila is originally from Culpeper but later lived in Fairfax where he graduated from high school. Orfila attended Northern Virginia Community College and the Northern Virginia Police Academy. He is now living in Rappahannock with his mother and stepfather, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Scroggins, Jf. John Walker Jenkins also told the Supervisors that jailer Roger Luis Orfila Rutherford has resigned, due to his wife’s serious illness. The sheriff’s department has taken this opportunity to make some changes in the administration of the county lock-up, Jenkins said. There will be no more families living in the jail building. Instead, one of the deputies on duty will serve as jailer. The jail will be open 24 hours a day and will be operated in^ conjunction with the sheriff’s office. Since space for the sheriff’s office, which will be moved to the jail building from the courthouse, and the deputy on duty overnight will take up less room than living quarters for the jailer and his family, there will be extra space in the jail building. This could be used as storage or office space by other county departments, Jenkins suggested. □ THRIFT SHOP The Thrift Shop is in the basement of the post office building. It is open Wednesdays and Fridays. “Bring us your saleable articles of clothing, furniture, brie-brae or what have you, that you no longer need. If you can not bring them call 675-3608 for pick up. We have a lot of bargains for everyone, so come in and browse around,” said a spokesman for the Ladies Auxiliary of Washington Volunteer Fire Department.□ AUCTION SALE Saturday, July 12 Rain or Shine 10:00 A.M.

Va. highway deaths down VIRGINIA’S traffic deaths for the first half of 1975 showed a decline of 15 when compared with those for the same period of 1974, says Colonel H. W. Burgess, Superintendent of State Police. There were 450 deaths during the first six months of 1975, as compared to 465 for the first half of 1974. “Although the decline appears slight,” he said, “it was gained in spite of a rise of from four to five percent in traffic volumes and if we can finish the year with a reduction it will be the third consecutive one.” However, he noted that deaths of persons now carried as injured and late reports can add slightly to the 1975 toll. Pedestrian deaths were down from 79 to 64, those of motor cyclists from 28 to 19 and those of servicemen from 20 to 15. Deaths of bicyclists were even at five. Increases were noted in January (79-83), February (51-57) and April (74-77) while decreases were made in March (97-85) and June (97-81). There were 67 deaths in May of each year.D MARKET REPORT MADISON LIVESTOCK MARKET, INC.

Bettendorf, social security district manager in Winchester. The increase will amount to 8 percent for most people getting social security payments. It is the first benefit raise under a cost-of-living provision added to the social security law in 1972. “People getting social security checks don’t have to do anything to get the higher payments,” Bettendorf said. “The increase will be added automatically.” The increase is based on the rise in prices from the April-May-June quarter of 1974 to the JanuaryFebruary-March quarter of 1975. With the cost of living increase, average social security retirement payments to retired workers nationally will go from $184 to $200 a month. Average social security disability payments to disabled workers will go from $207 to $224 a month. Average social security survivors payments to widowed mothers with two children in their care will go from $439 to $474 a month. SOCIAL security pays monthly benefits to almost 31 million people. The payments are funded by social security taxes from employes, employers, and self-employed people. Employes and employers con NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC Notice is hereby given to the public that Central Telephone Company of Virginia on June 30, 1975, filed earnings and financial data for the 12 months ended May 31, 1975, as required by the rules governing Annual Review of the State Corporation Commission of Virginia. The Company simultaneously filed with the Commission a rider to its current tariffs to become effective August 1, 1975. The proposed tariff rider, if allowed to become effective, would result in a 5.65% surcharge on rates for local telephone service, excluding intrastate toll, WATS and coin telephone rates. A copy of the proposed tariff plus the material submitted by the Telephone Company in support of its proposed tariff may be seen during normal working hours at the office of the State Corporation Commission, Blanton Building, Richmond, Virginia, or at any Centel business office where bills are paid. The Commission has suspended the effective date of the proposed surcharge until August 15, 1975, and prior to that date will issue an order giving its decision whether or not to further suspend the proposed surcharge tariff and establishing any further procedures for investigation and hearing on the Company’s need for rate relief. Any written communication regarding the proposed 5.65% surcharge should be addressed to William C. Young, Clerk, State Corporation Commission, P.O. Box 1197, Richmond, Virginia 23209. tribute 5.85 percent each of the first $14,100 of yearly earnings from jobs covered by social security. Self-employed people pay 7.9 percent. “Those figures remain unchanged,” Bettendorf said. Under the law, future automatic cost-of-living increases in social security benefits will be based on consumer prices in January-February-March of one year compared to the same period in the next year. Farm Safety Week “PLANNING Prevents Accidents” is this year’s theme for National Farm Safety Week, July 25-31. The National Safety Council (NSC), and the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), suggest that farmers and ranchers plan in advance for a safe farm environment. “Farm safety week is a good opportunity to emphasize ways of preventing safety hazards by preplanning for safer practices on each farm,” Jack York of the Loudoun-Fairfax ASCS Office said. Many industries have discovered that accidents can be anticipated and thus can be planned against. These same techniques of foresight, advance “spadework”, and just careful planning, can be used in agriculture to cut down an accident rate that for too many years has run higher than safety experts believe it should, York said. According to NSC estimates, agricultural work accidents claimed about 2,100 lives last year, and nearly 200,000 persons suffered disabling injuries. KEY guidelines for accident prevention planning are: • Make accident prevention a major work goal. • Be informed about safety. Read about safety. Study instruction manuals. • Develop and write out a safety plan that suits your operation. • Inspect equipment and buildings; correct faults or hazards.
