Rappahannock News, August 28, 1975

Williams compromise is still sought BY PEKAY PETTUS RAPPAHANNOCK’S planners are still trying to work out a compromise between the request of the J.L. Williams’s heirs and the requirements of the county subdivision and zoning ordinances. The Supervisors have asked that the planners meet with the attorney for the Williams heirs and the Commonwealth’s Attorney to work out a compromise. But much to the planners consternation, Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis wasn’t at the Planning Commission meeting Wednesday night, August 20, and the Planning Commissioners didn’t want to draft and approve a compromise without the advice of their attorney. Nevertheless, the planners listened as T.C. Lea, attorney for the Williams heirs, and the Williamses themselves repeated much of what had been said six days before at a public hearing before the Supervisors. The Williams heirs want to divide their 37 acre home - place in the “Tiger Valley” into eight lots. That would be one lot for each child plus a separate parcel for the homeplace itself. The Williams homeplace is in an agricultural zone in which the minimum lot size is 25 acres. However, the county ordinances allow a parent to give a two acre lot to as many as five children. T.C. Lea maintained that the ordinance is disciminatory, “not against color, sex or religion,” but against parents who have more than five children. Furthermore, Lea said, the Williams’ proposed division of land would comply with the spirit of the ordinance. There would be two six-acre tracts, two five-acre tracts, two four-acre tracts and two two-acre tracts. “My clients would be giving three times what is required by the ordinance in several instances,’’ Lea said, reminding the planners the law would allow five two-acre lots. ALTHOUGH the Williams had requested a rezoning and an exception to the subdivision ordinance at the hearing before the Supervisors last week, all they want now is an exception. Most people who spoke during the hearing before the Supervisors favored granting an exception, but not a rezoning. A rezoning would affect the entire ordinance by establishing a precedent, a number of people said. So the Williams heirs had revised their request accordingly, attorney Lea said. “MY CLIENTS respect the zoning and subdivision ordinances, but they want their birthright,” Lea told the Planning Commissioners. The ancestors of the Williams heirs “were here as slaves and have helped to bring this county forward,” he continued, listing the contributions and accomplishments of the present generation of Williamses. Granting an exception Free lunch policy RAPPAHANNOCK has announced its policy for free and reduced price meals, free milk for children unable to pay the full price of meals and milk served under the National School Lunch, and Special Milk Programs. An income scale, established under the school lunch act, will be used to determine eligibility. Children from families whose income is at or below the levels adopted are eligible for free or reduced-price meals or free milk. In addition, families not meeting these criteria but with other unusual expenses due to unusually high medical expenses, shelter costs in excess of 30 percent of income, special education expenses due to the mental or physical; condition of a child, and disaster or casualty losses are urged to apply. . Application forms are being sent to all homes in a letter to parents. Additional copies are available at the principal’s office in each, school. The information provided on the application is confidential and will be used only for the purpose of determin ing eligibility. Applications may be submitted at any time during the year. IN CERTAIN cases, foster children are also eligible for benefits. If a family has foster children living with them and wishes to apply for such meals and milk for them, it should contact the school. In the operation of child feeding programs, no child will be discriminated against because of race, sex, color, or national origin. Under the provisions of the policy the School Principal will review applications and determine eligibility. If a parent is dissatisfied with the ruling of the official, he may make a request either orally or in writing to’ T. A. Fleetwood, Sperryville, 22740, or call:987-8773, for a hearing to appeal the decision. The policy contains an outline of the hearing procedure. Each school and the office of the Division Superintendent has a copy of the complete policy which may be reviewed by any interested person.□ for the Williams family wouldn’t affect future developers, but only allow the Williams to inherit their birthrights, Lea said. Phil Irwin said Lea had made a persuasive case, “sopersuasive that I was led astray the first time I heard it.” At the Supervisors hearing, Irwin was one of See rage 10 Mrs. Bessie Woodward of Sperryville shows the huge tomato plant which she has grown in her yard. The plant is over eight feet tall and has produced some very large tomatoes which Mrs. Woodward has shared with friends.

Mrs. Woodward is 80 years old and does her own canning and preserving.

SARAH C LATHAM, Manafinf Editor Telephone Washinfton 675-3349 Difficult decision RAPPAHANNOCK OFFICIALS are currently agonizing over the sort of problem that makes strong politicians weep—a largely worthy zoning exception request which, nevertheless, could set a dangerous precedent. f That the request contains a measure of merit is what makes the decision so difficult. It isn’t difficult to turn aside blatantly bad requests. The hard part is weighing the borderline cases against the general welfare of the county as a whole. Certainly no one envies the position of those who must make a decision which could be unpopular, no matter which way it goes. But here’s hoping that the decision is to not deviate from the county’s zoning controls, which were established after a great deal of work and study and after hearing from a great many Rappahannock County citizens. It is impossible to devise public laws which take into account the special peculiarities of every individual case. The aim is to draw up a body of public regulation which is as fair and equitable for everyone as is humanly possible. It is when public officials start making exceptions that inequities develop. □ Letters to the editor Debater's addendum Editor: It was disappointing to read Mr. Helmke’s article in the July 31 issue of the “Rappahannock News” since he chose to level an attack against my personal style rather than to concentrate on the event —citizens immediately subject to a nuclear reactor expressing their fears and asking questions to the men who were supposed to know the answers. Clearly, I am not as professional an opponent of nuclear technology as Mr. Reynolds is a proponent and have not yet become hardened to the dangers nor accustomed to the distortions forwarded by the nuclear establishment. At this point, I hope I can be forgiven for being “emotional” when advocates assert that nuclear generation of electricity is cheaper, that nuclear materials do not pose a large public menace, or that yet unsolved problems inherent to this technology—human and technical malfunctioning, nuclear waste disposal—are all technologically soluble. Let me start with the issue of cost. The Final Environmental Impact Statements for commercial plants all claim that cost/benefit assumes that a reactor operates at its licensed capacity, i.e. 80%. The present record of the industry for 1973-1974 (weighted by MWE capacity) is only 54.6%. Fossil-fueled capacity 1964-1973 was 63.2% (just including those larger than 390 MWE.) Vepco’s operating nuclear power plants, Surry 1 and 2, have cumulative capacity factors of 50.6% and 54.6% respectively (as of May 1975). Only reactors operating above 55% capacity are cheaper to the customer than coal generated electricity. Also, it has been discovered that nuclear power plants throughout the nation show a record of decreasing performance overtime after three to four years of operation. The “Wall Street Journal” has reported that many utilities are rethinking plans to construct nuclear reactors on the basis of escalating cost of construction, unreliability and astronomical repair bills. The breeder program alone is estimated at $10 billion. As for the danger of nuclear material, it is not a matter of debate. All radiation is harmful (even X-rays as doctors have begun to discover.) Thus to say, “we have standards” or that this or that leakage into the environment was not dangerous is misleading and irresponsible. Radiation effects are cumulative as well and thus the fact that no one was killed instantly does not mean that genetic damage was not done or that it will not occur at some later date. One case that is indicative of the dangers is what happened to Edward Gleason Jr. who was exposed briefly to plutonium while moving a leaking package from one truck to another. He developed a rare form of cancer and died. His wife sued and collected from the AEC. In addition to these “ordinary” dangers, Mr, Reynolds himself admitted that citizens need to be concerned about what happens to nuclear reactors after they have lived out their 30-40 year lives. This expert on nuclear safety claimed that the site of old nuclear reactors would forever be off limits to the public and a constant source of dangerous radiation. Finally, to say that the answer to malfunctioning technology is simply more technology may make sense in some framework, but the question remains why go forward without the solution in hand. Two men were killed by steam from “Close-ups” The closeup last week was called many kinds of pins, needles, nails, etc., but was actually a hypodermic needle, and was correctly identified by several readers. The name drawn from the entries for a free subscription was Marjorie Willis of Culpeper (wouldn’t you know, a nurse). Others to correctly name the object were Robert Harrell, Ray T. Cannon, Virginia Facchina, Tom Massie, Mrs. Bessie Brown, Lewis Turner, and Ricky Jenkins. Try this. Bring or mail replies to the Rappahannock News, Box 38, Washington, Va. 22747. One entry per person, per household. Please do not enter for others. one of VEPCO’s nuclear plants because the engineers had “underestimated” the pressure. This kind of technical error is evident continuously throughout the whole program. If steam valves, pipe welds, control switches, relays and even emergency systems cannot be designed to be fail-safe, then at this point it seems presumptuous to smugly assume that the problems with the radioactive material itself will simply solve themselves with the application of more research money. This is quite a gamble. Further, it may be asked why, if these problems are so easily solved, the nuclear industry has protected itself from any liability in the case of an accident. The Price Anderson Act sets a $560 million insurance limit on recovery in case of nuclear accident and most of that is paid by the tax payer. The company which built the reactor has no liability. The AEC’s own studies indicate a major nuclear accident could cost from $7 billion to 280 billion in losses. I commend people who want to learn more about the nuclear gamble to contact either the National Intervenors at 153 E. St., S.E., Washington, D.C.20003(202543-1642) or the North Anna Environmental Coalition, Box 3951, Charlottesville, Va. 22903. Dennis Gregg Another view Washington on TV The commentary on NBC Channel 4 Tuesday evening by William (Bill) Monroe was about the Town of Washington, Va. Mr. Monroe is a Rappahannock landowner and subscriber of the Rappahannock News. THIS is Bill Monroe on the NBC Radio Network with comment on the news. The federal Government, facing a 70-billion-dollar deficit, and New York City, on the edge of bankruptcy, could both learn a thing or two from a place called Little Washington. Officially it’s the Town of Washington in the Virginia countryside about 60 miles west of the nation’s capital, a hamlet of 190 souls in the shadow of the Blue Ridge Mountains. According to the latest edition of the weekly Rappahannock News, the Town of Washington is highly solvent. The town council has set a tentative budget for next year of nine thousand, 157 dollars —about the same as last year. The spending items range from a high of 13-hundred and fifty dollars for trash and street cleaning to a low of 25 dollars for phone calls on official business. Salaries, as in New York, take a big whack out of the budget: 11-hundred dollars altogether. Mayor Peter Kramer, a cabinet maker by trade, gets paid 10 dollars a month, and members of the town council get five dollars. But they have to reckon with a Catch 22 that often saves the town a few bucks. If the city fathers—and mothers—don’t attend the monthly council meetings, they don’t get paid that month at all. THE only controversy in the Town of Washington budget is hidden in the $300 item for repairing the stone wall near the library. The lady who lives next door to the library thought the town should also repair the stretch of wall that runs by her place. But the town said no, and the lady finally decided she would just have to do it herself. Not that Washington, Virginia, doesn’t have some serious problems. It does not, for example, have a sewer system. The town is getting around to doing something about that, but slowly, while it thinks about two problems: one, where’s the money coming from? And two, if the town gets a firstrate, central sewer system, wouldn’t too many outsiders want to move in? Little Washington doesn’t want any refugees from New York City—or, for that matter, from Washington, D. C.— coming in and threatening the town with heavy traffic or fiscal idiocy. □

E L I T T L E F 0 X Whistle Cup Tennis Tournament AT LEAST 24 teams will compete in this year’s running of the 25th Annual Invitational Handicap Mixed Doubles Whistle Cup Rappahannock County Tennis Tournament, according to Mrs. N.K.G. Tholand, chairman of the event. Round-robin elimination matches will begin at 10 a.m., or thereabouts, on Sunday, August 31, at the tennis courts of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Parrish, Judge and Mrs. Rayner V. Snead, Dr. and Mrs. Werner Krebser, and Mr. and Mrs. James J. Kilpatrick. Finals will begin at 10 a.m. the following day at the Kilpatrick court on Route 621, two miles west of Woodville. As a part of the handicapping system, last year’s winning team of Mary Tompkins and Robert O’Bannon has been broken up. Miss Tompkins has been assigned to a young neophyte with a weak bacldiand, and Mr. O’ Bannon to a genteel lady who tends to double-fault. Mrs. Tholand said every effort will be made to keep first-rate players off the same team. “Let them all suffer alike,” she said. The Labor Day picnic that follows the final match will again be in the charge of Mrs. Fanning Baumgardner. Players are expected to provide for their own families and guests, but because everybody “sort of eats around,” some degree of coordination is sought. “UP TO a point,” Mrs. Baumgardner said, “beans will be welcome this year. Last year I dropped a remark that in 1973 we had had entirely too many beans. A reporter for the Rappahannock News picked up the remark, and magnified it, with the unfortunate result that nobody brought beans. I have nothing against beans, and will be glad to see them in modest supply on Monday.” Spectators are requested to Washington carnival September 3-6 The summer carnival season will close next week after the Washington Firemen hold their carnival Wednesday through Saturday, September 3, 4, 5 and 6. Highlights of the fund raising event include the selection of Little Miss Washington on Wednesday evening; the crowning ceremony for an Honorary Fire Chief Thursday; a grand parade. Friday night and the awarding of numerous prizes at the conclusion of festivities Saturday night. Three small girls are competing for the title of Little Miss Washington. They are Lynn Bailey, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Steve Bailey; Tara Fisher, whose parents are Mr. and Mrs. Bradford Fisher and Edna (Edie) Eastham, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John R. Eastham. Votes for these young ladies may be cast at various business establishments in the town. Thursday evening an Honorary Fire Chief will be selected to represent the fire department in parades and other competition for the following year. A grand parade Friday at 7p.m. will feature majorette groups and individuals, fire and rescue equipment, civic and comic entries, political candidates and many others. A box supper containing country ham and chicken will be available at the food stand and other food and drinks will also be sold, including desserts. The grand prize to be awarded Saturday is $1000 cash and a riding lawn mower plus additional prizes will also be given away. Door prizes will be given at 10:30 Wednesday and Thursday evenings, and you must be present to win at the free drawings. The midway will have five rides, plus games and concessions. There will be entertainment for everyone.

Sponsored by the Albemarle County Public Schools and Science Research Associates, the conference on teaching basic skills was attended by the following elementary teachers from Rappahannock County Elementary School in Sperryville: Beatrice B. Austin, Dorothy C. Butler and Sallie Stauffer. The staff of the sixth annual conference on the SRA DISTAR Reading, Language and Arithmetic programs included two co-authors of the DISTAR Instructional System, Jean Osborn and Elaine Bruner from Illinois. DURING the conference, classes were held from 9 a.m. to3:30 p.m. daily in all phases of the highly disciplined phonics-based program which depends heavily on teachers who are trained to inter act skillfully with small groups of students using a high degree of oral drill and praise. Conference coordinators were Frank Drumheller, Director of Federal Programs, Albemarle County Schools; John Cass, SRA senior associate, Fredericksburg; and Richard Harvey, SRA staff associate from Roanoke. Also in attendance at the conference was Joseph Ferguson, Regional Manager for SRA’s southern Atlantic region.□ DRIVING COURSE The Rappahannock Retired Teachers Association is sponsoring a Defensive Driving Course.

. -School drug policy points explained RAPPAHANNOCK County Schools have a clear, firm policy relating to possession, use or distribution of illegal drugs on school property or at school sponsored functions. The policy was adopted by the Board and it is the desire of the Board and school administration that parents of school age children be reminded of the policy. Should school authorities have reason to believe an individual is involved in possession, use or distribution of an illegal drug on school proper!)’ or at a school sponsored function, law enforcement officials are to be notified and ashed to investigate. Parents of the individual and the superintendent of schools will be notified. If investigation by a law enforcement official leads to the tentative or definite conclusion that possession, use or distribution (fid occur and the investigation or prosecution is to be carried further, then the individual or individuals involved are to be suspended from school for appropriate school board action. If an individual, while on school property or attending school functions, exhibits physical behavior or appearance which indicates that he or she may be presently under the influence of drugs, the principal or his representative will notify appropriate law enforcement officials and request them to investigate. The individuals parents and the superintendent of schools shall be notified as quickly as possible. The stone well in Washington which was deteriorating and in need of repair has been restored. John R. Eastham, stonemason and his aide, Ted Barbour, were completing the job Tuesday. The wall was restored to its previous function and style after a controversy was settled pertainiic to iL Some of the council members had wanted the wall style changed while the residents of the area preferred the restoration to preserve it as it was previously. The cost of repair was assumed u«if by the town and half by a resident whose porperty abuts the wall. IF, IN the opinion of the principal, or his representative, the student is in need of medical attention, the individual’s parents are to be informed promptly and arrangements made to transfer the individual to a doctor or hospital. Such incidents are to be reported to the superintendent of schools. Should investigation reveal that an illegal activity or use of drugs occurred on school property or at a school function, or if the investigation is to be carried further. the individual or individuals are to be suspended from school for appropriate school board action. □ Garwood granted his third patent James Clifton Garwood has been granted his third patent from the United States Patent Office. His inventions have been optical and geometrical instruments for use in correctly determining inverts and grade inclinations in gravity flow hydraulic systems. All of his patents were granted for six claims filed. Garwood, an engineer, was awarded his first patent in 1964. He is a member of The American inventors Association. His inventions have been listed by the Small Business Administration and New Inventions of American Inventors. In 1968 Garwood was commended by President Johnson upon installation of the communication and sprinkler system at the White House. Mr. and Mrs. Garwood are the owners of Stonehaven in Rappahannock.D PUBLIC NOTICE Notice is hereby given to the public that Central Telephone Company of Virginia on August 6, 1975, filed with the State Corporation Commission of Virginia an application for authority to increase and restructure the Company’s present schedules of rates and charges for intrastate telephone service. The application was accompanied by the proposed tariffs which if allowed to become effective would produce, according to the Company, additional annual revenues of $3,372,767. By order dated August 11, 1975, the Commission suspended the effective date of these tariffs pending its investigation, hearing and decision. Earlier the public was given notice that the Company proposed to put in effect a surcharge tariff on rates for local telephone service, excluding intrastate toll service. Wide Area Telephone Service (WATS) and coin telephone services, to produce additional revenues of $1,227,091. In its order of August 11, 1975, the Commission authorized the Company to put in effect a surcharge tariff designed to produce $1,051,907 rather than the $1,227,091 requested by the Company.

Williams compromise is still sought From Page 1 the first people to speak against granting the rezoning or subdivision exception. But after hearing later testimony, he changed his mind and asked the Supervisors to grant the exception. At the planning commission meeting last Wednesday night, Irwin withdrew his previous statement in support of the Williams request. By granting the request, “you would be creating eight lots in an agricultural zone,” Irwin said. It’s time people stopped regarding land as a commodity to be bought, sold and traded, Irwin said. ‘‘We are only the temporary caretakers of the land.” Irwin said he agreed that the Williams family is perhaps ‘‘more deserving than most,” but he thought their request could be granted only by disregarding the ordinance, and he asked the planners not to do that. John H. Williams, the eldest of the heirs, told Irwin that “Patrick Henry couldn’t have made a finer talk” than he had. “But when does a child lose that right to inherit?” Williams asked the planners. “It is inhuman to turn down a request like this.” Some of the heirs are “right at the door of fourscore and ten” which are all the years God has promised you, Williams said To deny them “the right to We Can Supply All Your BUILDING NEEDS CULPEPER BUILDING & SUPPLY CORP. Phone VA5-8383 Culpeper inherit” would be to deny them “the pursuit of happiness,” he said. WILLIAMS said he didn’t think the subdivision of the Williams tract would “obstruct agriculture.” When he was a young man, corn, wheat, barley and rye was raised in the fields near his homeplace, Williams said, but hardly any is raised there now. “What’s the difference in five and seven inheriting this land?” John H. Williams asked. Phil Irwin said he thought the ordinance allowed a parent to deed five twoacre parcels to their children during their lifetime, but it does not guarantee the right of those children to inherit the land after the parents” death. There’s nothing to prevent that ordinance being changed, John Williams said. “No one’s face turns red when we have to amend the constitution,’’ he said. “In what time we have left, don’t deny us the pursuit of happiness.” Fred Wilting asked to whom the provision for deeding small parcels to children applied. “Could I whack up my land for my children?” Yes, Pete Luke told him, provided he had a lot of record prior to 1962. This provision was for the “old families of Rappahannock,” Pete Luke said, “the poor working families, the tenants, not the big rich landowners; we had to have this provision,” or the ordinances would not have been approved, he said. The planners and supervisors had decided on the number five because they thought that would take care of most cases, Herbert Barksdale said. FRED WILTING said the Williamses have already “inherited” their land, all they want now is the right to “whack it up.” Once Time to go. . .

As for discrimination, the ordinance is discriminatory in the first place, he said. It discriminates against those landowners who didn’t 'have their land prior to 1962. And further subdivision in Rappahannock County will mean more taxes for everybody, Wilting said. James Scherschell told the planners to be prepared for future requests based on the Williams family precedent. “If these people have this right, I want the same,” he said. Roger Sentz told the planners that the Williamses were “as fine a neighbors as you could hope to have.” Sentz said he hoped their request would be granted. Clarence Dearing asked the planners if he had to come before them in order to sell or give away his land. Not to sell it or give it away, only to subdivide, he was told. Roger Sentz told the planners they’d have to go to court if they told him he couldn’t subdivide his land. That kind of law is “just the reason I left Fairfax County,” he said. “Nobody in this world has unlimited rights or unlimited freedon,” Pete Luke said. David Fannon agreed: “All laws are discriminatory in some form.” A. Y. Stokes asked if any of the heirs would be willing to take a cash settlement as their share of their inheritance. Lea said that none of them would. David Fannon asked Lewis Butler, one of the heirs, if he would move from his place at Sperryville over to the homeplace tract, if the request were approved. Butler said he didn’t think so, he’d probably just “hold it” for his son or daughters. Butler said he didn’t want to “bring this up, but it’s hard for a black man to buy land.” And what land black people buy, they buy from among themselves, he said. DAVID FANNON asked if all the heirs understood that if their request for an exception to the subdivision ordinance were granted, there can be no further subdivision of any of the tracts. That means that none of the heirs will ever be able to divide off two acres for their children. T. C. Lea said his clients understood that. Lea noted that his clients could go to court for a partition suit. IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our mother, Mrs. Nellie Fincham, who passed away August 15, 1974. WE LOVED HER SO MUCH: BUT GOD LOVED HER MORE. GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN. by her loving children, Ernest, Mary Virgie, Nina, Bertha, Sadie and Laura. In that event, the judge could decide to divide the land among all seven heirs. But his clients had not chosen that route, “because they want to preserve the ordinance.” So they had tried to work within the ordinance, Lea said. Pete Luke said that most people who spoke at the hearing before the Supervisors favored granting an exception, but not a rezoning. Since the meeting, Luke said, he has received seven phone calls in support of the Williamses. “I think an exception can be worked out,” he said. HERBERT BARKSDALE said he didn’t want the Planning Commissioners to commit themselves to an exception without the advice of their attorney. “But it’s been our experience we can’t always count on the commonwealth’s attorney being here,” he said, obviously a bit irritated by Davis’s absence. “Nobody denies the merits of this case,” David Fannon said. “But everybody is afraid of setting precedents.” Pete Luke didn’t think another hearing on the Williams request was necessary. “We just need to sit down” with the attorneys and “work it out. ’ ’ The planners agreed to have a called meeting with the attorneys prior to the September meeting of the Board of Supervisors. □ HORSE SHOW The 1975 date for the Madison County Horse Show has been announced for October 11 and 12, at the Madison Young Farmers Showgrounds.

Youths helped in summer job project FOR THE second year in a row, a federally funded youth program has provided summer employment for Rappahannock young people who usually cannot find summer jobs because of occupational restrictions created by their age, the overall scarcity of jobs, or because they lack necessary skills. The program, the Neighborhood Youth Corps summer program, is available to boys and girls 14 through 20 years whose parents have a limited income. A total of 21 Rappahannock youths were enrolled in the NYC program this year as compared to 8 last year. This increase is encouraging because it appears that the community support so vital to this type of program is now being encouraged by various government officials and civic leaders within the county, said a Youth Corps spokesman. The program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor and sanctioned by the state and local gov ernments, is designed to give economically disadvantaged youths incentive to stay in school by allowing them to earn money which will meet some of their needs. It also attempts to introduce students and other young people “to the realities of the working world and to the responsibilities which are associated with a job.” THIS YEAR the program started July 1 and will end August 22 in Rappahannock County. The enrollees receive $2.10 per hour and may work a maximum of 40 hours per week. The federally-funded program pays the salaries of youths to work with county, state, or federal organizations or non-profit civic groups; while the “employers” must provide the necessary job training and supervision. In Rappahannock and Culpeper Counties the program has been run by the Virginia Employment Commission while in most other counties in REMEMBER THIS ...
