Rappahannock News, September 11, 1975

V i- t School funding criticized State formula penalizes rural counties RAPPAHANNOCK and perhaps other rural counties near metropolitan areas are “discriminated against” by the State Board of Education formula which determines how much a locality must spend on public education. That’s what Rappahannock school board member Walter Masterson told Rappahannock’s Supervisors on Thursday, September 4. The state formula considers school age population (average daily attendance), total population, personal income, retail sales and “true market value” of real estate to determine how much each locality is required to pay. Fifty per cent of the funding formula is based on true market value, 40% on personal income and 10% on retail sales. That’s how it works in theory. But in practice, true market value is considered as a 75% factor in determ ining how much Rappahannock will pay. Urban areas which have a high true market value of real estate also generate higher personal incomes and retail sales. Most That’s when the state formula doesn’t work out in practice the way it purports to in theory. By comparison, figures for Nelson County, also a small rural county, are approximately twice Inflated Rappahannock land ‘market values’ are blamed rural areas, where income and retail sales are less, have a corresponding lower true market value. Presumably the 50-40-10 ratio holds up. But for Rappahannock, a scenic agricultural county within a long commuting distance of Washington, D.C., the value of land is out of proportion to the amount of retail sales and personal income. Owl and hawk attend RLEP meeting A GREAT Horned Owl and a Red Tailed Hawk were star attractions at the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection meeting Friday night September 5. Wildlife exhibitor Buck Bradley had hoped to bring a wolf along too, but the State of Virginia refused to give him a permit to bring the wolf into the state. So Bradley gave a bit of a talk on birds of prey and then talked about “the wolves” anyway. As Bradley talked, his Great Horned owl, Gypsy, would swivel her head completely around, wink one of her big yellow eyes or blink both big eyes simultaneously and look terribly bored, much to the amusement of children and adults in the RLEP audience. Bradley acquired his birds from the Fairfax County Park Authority. People often turn over injured birds to the Park Authority which keeps in touch with people like Bradley who might be able to rehabilitate them. The Red Tailed Hawk, often inappropriately called a chicken hawk even though its prey is mice had been mistreated by an owner and kept in a chicken wire cage for several years. The bird had crushed the front part of its skull as it constantly banged its head against the cage trying to get out. Bradley had thought the skull damage might mean brain damage. But recently he watched the bird sight and fly down to kill a cottonmouth snake. The bird handled that so well, Bradley said he’s concluded “those instincts are still there.” The Great Horned Owl was found injured along a roadside by a woman motorist. She put the bird in her car and almost lost a leg, Bradley said. There is as much as 400 pounds of “crushing power” behind an attacking owl and when that power was concentrated in one talon, the woman’s leg was “shredded,” Bradley said. The Red Tailed Hawk is one of the buteos, the family characterized by long rounded wings and a long tail. The buteo soar and ride along air thermals; once the sight prey and start to attack, they achieve speeds of up to 150 miles per hour, then pull up within a few feet of the ground. Some hawks are said to be able to see a mouse moving in the grass three hundred feet below and three miles away. The owl, in contrast to the hawk, has a bulkier body and flies closer to the ground. Owls rely more on hearing than sight in finding and catching their prey. The feathers in the “fascial discs,” the large circles of feathers which See Page 9 those tor Rappahannock—in population, personal income and retail sales. But Rappahannock is required to spend twice the amount of money per pupil that Nelson is required to spend. It’s all because Nelson County’s true market value figure is not inflated like Rappahannock’s, due to Rappahannock’s location as an extension of the Washington, D.C. market. PERHAPS adding insult to injury, the state formula even increases the inflated “true market value” of Rappahannock real estate. Instead of using the value of all county real estate as estim ated by the county tax assesors, the state school formula bases “true market value” on the average price per acre of land sold duing the past year. Rappahannock’s land assesment, wlrich was completed just this past spring, places the value of all county real estate at $60 million; the state formula, using the average price per acre of land sold, increases that figure to $90 million. That further weights the formula toward true market value. “So in a county like this, where the true market value of real estate is so high and personal income and retail sales are so low, it means you have to sell the land to pay the real estate tax in order to pay for the education the state requires,” George Davis, Commonwealth’s Attorney, said. And that doesn’t make good sense, Masterson added. When you put a farm out of business,'you put the farm workers on relief, which adds to the county taxes, you subdivide the land, which brings a need for more schools and more roads, which means more taxes again.

SARAH C LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 A sensible project RAPPAHANNOCK is still in a position to show other Virginia jurisdictions the proper way to deal with one of the recurring headaches of life in a rural area. The headache is called “health hazard,” and it’s the way the State Health Department and the State Water Control Board refer to bad situations which have developed because of toodense development, modern plumbing’s impact on villages which were founded in another century, or from unwise development on unsuitable soil. Take any one of these ingredients, or combine a couple, and you wind up with a “health hazard.” i\uw, neaun nazaras are not as unpopular as you might think. Developers and speculators, especially, are downright fond of “health hazards.” When such a situation is declared, these growth and progress types start agitating for elaborate and expensive sewer systems. These sewers are so elaborate and expensive, in fact, that it requires a great deal of new development to justify them on economic grounds. Examples of the “health hazard” tactic, as a method of promoting growth, can be found all over Northern Virginia. (Never mind that few of these “hazards” are actually substantiated by scientific fact; it is enough for someone to merely designate this or that area as a “health hazard” to start the developers in motion— but that’s another story.) WHAT we like about Rappahannock’s response—in the case of the community of Sperryville—was to begin working toward a solution that does not call for a growth-promoting, expensive sewer system. State authorities seem agreeable to a far more modest solution, involving what amounts to a huge community septic field. It would solve existing health situations, would not provide for any unwanted growth, and Sperryville’s status as a rural community would be preserved— all without growth, development, traffic, crowded schools, and all the rest of the mess that goes with this sort of situation. EVEN with such a relatively modest project, however, there are bound to be some difficulties, and some indication of trouble in locating proper drainfield locations has already surfaced. But the entire project is so sensible— especially in contrast to what Fauquier is proposing, extending a giant sewer system for 11 miles along what is now' a country road—that every effort should be made to solve Sperryville’s problem along the lines that have been proposed. It’s either that, or some sewer project will surface, and then Sperry ville and all of Rappahannock are likely to wind up with more trouble than they can handle. □ Fair tour An Educational Tour to the Virginia State Fair on Tuesday, September 23 is being arranged and a minimum of 30 people will be necessary for the trip. The total cost of the trip is $10 which includes bus fare, ticket to the fair and a cold drink. Each person must provide his own bag lunch and a snack for the return trip. Some of the special events for that day are features commemorating Governor’s Day, third annual marching band competition, plus fair exhibits.

He is a fine musician and deserves more recognition than he has so far gotten. However, I would like to correct one item that was mentioned in the article. The report that the National Folk Festival was terminated in 1943 was a bit premature. The Festival has been held every year since its beginning in 1934, with the exception of 1945, 1956, 1958, 1962, and 1970. For the past five years the Festival has been held in Vienna, Va. at Wolf Trap Farm Park. .And we will have a festival in 1976. Though we sometimes find ourselves ailing—we are still alive and kicking. Charles L. Perude, Jr., President National Folk Festival Association Feed, grain, wheat programs explained THE Department of Agriculture has announced some details of the 1976 Feed Grain and Wheat Programs. These details will provide farmers with the information needed to make their 1976 crop planting decisions. There will be no acreage setaside requirement for the 1976 feed grain and wheat programs. Producers are not being encouraged to take cropland out of production next year because, even though this year’s corn and wheat crops are expected to be at record levels, export demand is strong. There will be no conserving base requirement through the 1977 crop year. For 1976, producers may substitute any non-conserving crop (except marketing quota crops) Or any conserving crop used for hay or for grazing in order to preserve their feed grain and wheat allotments. No early notice of wheat allotments will be issued by the County ASCS office for 1976. Notice of allotments and yields for feed grains and wheat will be issued jointly at a later date after they have been established for all commodities. The National wheat allotment for 1976 is 15 percent above the 1975 allotment. FARMERS who plan to plant wheat this fall can closely estimate their own 1976 wheat allotment by increasing their 1975 allotment by 15 percent. Wheat allotments in no way limit the number of acres of wheat that may be planted, but are used in cases where producers may be eligible for program payments. Eligibility for participation in all programs administered by ASCS is established under law without regard to race, color, creed, sex or national origin. Robinson praised Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson has been congratulated by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) for his voting record in support of small business. Robinson voted 100 percent in favor of the legislative positions taken by the organization of independent business people in 1974 during the second session of the 93rd Congress. Wilson S. Johnson, President of Nr IB, praised Robinson for his “outstanding effort on behalf of small business.”

T H e L i T T L E F 0 X School enrollment is down 37 pupils ENROLLMENT in Rappahannock County schools is down 37 from last year, Superintendent 0. A. Norton told the School Board Tuesday night. That may not seem like much, but for a small county with a total of 1184 students in the school system it’s a lot, Norton said. And it’s less than Rappahannock’s School Board members predicted when they drew up this year’s budget. The money which will come to the county from the state of Virginia is partially determined by “average daily attendance,” or enrollment. Norton said enrollment at the high school has increased, but enrollment at the elementary school has decreased. “We have the largest senior class ever-91 studentsand perhaps the smallest first graae ever, ne said. School Board members asked Norton if he was “worried” about the enrollment figures yet. Norton grinned ajid scratched his head. Yes, he was worried a little bit. Enrollment may pick up toward the end of the month, “but it can’t pick up to what we projected,” he said. “This reduces the money we’ll receive from the state, but we can’t cut our budget. We’ve hired the teachers,” Board chairman E. N. Montague said. So then School Board members murmured among themselves about“belt tightening” for a bit, before talking about overcrowding problems in the high school. THERE are 43 students in the Algebra One class at the high school. Assistant Superintendent T. A. Fleetwood said he had talked We Can Supply AH Your BUILDING NEEDS CULPEPER BUILDING & SUPPLY CORP. Phone VA5-8383 Culpeper over the problem with instructor James Adkins and they couldn’t find an alternative. The students are well qualified, as shown by their scores on standardized tests, past grades and recommendations from teachers. “We couldn’t justifiably cut anybody,” Fleetwood said. “Maybe after six weeks some of the students will figure they, can’t cut it and drop out, but we didn’t feel we could tell any to drop out,” Fleetwood said. The size of the Algebra One classroom means that “physical closeness” is not bad. Adkins handles the students well, Fleetwood said, noting again that the class includes a “large number of capable students.” “If the students are good, you can manage,” Arthlinda Quaintance said. Beverly Massie said she felt the overcrowding reflected “poor management” on the part of the high school. Too many students had signed up for this class last spring and they knew it, she said. Norton disagreed, he didn’t think the high school had any indication back in the spring that the class could be this crowded. “I asked last spring and was told that there would be 58 students in Algebra One,” Mrs. Massie said. Fleetwood nodded. The class enrollment has dropped from what the registration figures last spring had indicated. “But what alternatives do we have?” Fleetwood asked. “We can’t split the class because we don’t have another classroom. And if we had another classroom we’d need another teacher.” E. N. MONTAGUE suggested that the matter be brought to the attention of the Supervisors, “that we have a problem and we can’t cope.” The School Board has told the Supervisors about overcrowding problems for two years, Montague said. The high school was designed for 350 students and has 425, he said. Expansion is the only answer, several school board members concluded, either through an addition or modular classroom units.

Virginia Walter Masterson wondered about renovating the cafeteria for classrooms and feeding the high school students from the elementary school kitchen, since the elementary school is only a few hundred yards down the road. “Feed ‘em airline style in the classrooms,” Masterson said. That might work in the elementary school rooms, where the students stay in one room all day, but it wouldn’t work in the high school, Norton said. There the students move from room to room. “We’d still need to have the serving and eating area,” even it the kitchen was eliminated, he said. “What’s so different about the high school?” Masterson asked. “They’re still in the classrooms when lunch comes.” You could employ the techniques of the Marriott “in-flight” service, he said. Moving food, quickly and making it palatable, is the Marriott Corporation’s business, Masterson said. He works for the Marriott Corporation. But the elementary school doesn’t have the equipment or personnel to undertake such a proposal, several other school board members said. The cafeteria workers are already overworked, Arthlinda Quaintance .said. And this would be expensive, Beverly Massie said, be expensive, Beverly Massie said. “We’d have to buy those steam trays to keep the food hot,” she said. It’s not expensive at all, Masterson said. “They’re just aluminum insulated trays on dollies.” DID MASTERSON mean for the school board to hire Marriott to cater the meals? Norton asked. “No, I just think we could get some professional help, and expediting food service is their business. They might evaluate the kitchen we’ve got at the elementary school now and tell us how we could facilitate the food service we’ve got now.” E. N. Montague said the “labor See Page 15 FREE FUEL PLUS $$ VALUE CERTIFICATES With your new Choose any new Deutz air-cooled diesel tractor and Deutz will send a check for a half year's fuel supplyplus Value Certificates, as shown below, good for equipment, parts, or service at your Deutz dealer.

The application was accompanied by the proposed tariffs which if allowed to become effective would produce, according to the Company, additional annual revenues of 13,372,767. 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 11,227,091. In its order of August 11, 1975, the Commission authorized the Company to put in effect a surcharge tariff designed to produce 11,051,907 rather than the 11,227,091 requested by the Company. This increase in rates has been allowed, subject to refund of any revenues collected in excess of the rates and charges finally found just and reasonable after a complete and full investigation and public hearing. The reasonableness of the revenues collected under the surcharge and the reasonableness of the Company’s proposed schedule of tariffs will be the subject of a public bearing scheduled to begin on FRESH SEAFOOD Fish Truck back, Friday, September 12, 1975, Lee Street, Warrenton, Va. tOld Herndon Chevrolot Lot) ♦ FRESH FISH FILLETS ♦ ♦ STEAM CRABS CLEANED FISH ♦ ♦ SCALLOPS *CLAMS * SHRIM^ ♦ Large selection of fish not cleaned Catfish, Eels, Crabmeat 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. Friday TICKS SEAFOOD We welcome all our many friends & customers! 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. Saturday iiiiiiimnmiilillllllllllllll November 18, 1975. If after hearings and due consideration, the surcharge revenues are determined to be excessive, the excess amount which has been collected will be refunded with 8 percent interest. If the Commission determines a rate increase is needed, the Commission will then order the surcharge terminated and authorize the Company to increase its rates in the amount found just and reasonable. A copy of the Company’s application, proposed schedules of rates, and the Commission’s order setting this application for investigation and bearing may be reviewed at the office of the State Corporation Commission, Blanton Building, Richmond, Virginia, or at any office of the Company where bills are paid.

Planners to take a historic tour A “HISTORIC bus tour” for members of the RappahannockRapidan Regional Planning Commission will take place some time this fall, the planning commissioners decided Thursday night, August 28. The Virginia Historic Landmarks Commission has listed 566 sites within the five-county area on its register, planning district executive director Art Warren told the Commissioners. It will be impossible to visit each of these sites, Warren said, but by working with the chairman of the Bicentennial campaign in each locality, the planning district staff hopes to select a number of sites which could be toured in one day. There are 251 historic sites in Fauquier County, 44 in Rappahannock, 61 in Culpeper, 76 in Madison, 134 in Orange. Some of these include houses and buildings of architectural or structural significance, old mills and canal sys terns, military torts ana Battlefields. Some of these are on the National Register of Historic Places. Art Warren said the bus tour of the Planning District last year cost $400. Two-thirds of this sum may come from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. If there are no HUD funds, there is money in the Planning District’s contingency fund to cover it, Warren said. The Planning Commissioners all thought the trip was a fine idea. But Stan Haworth told Warren he’d make the tour only to see the historic structures themselves. “I don’t want a tour of historical markers,” he said. ART WARREN told the planners that the district Planning Commission needed to host a public hearing on the scenic rivers proposal for the Rappahannock and Rapidan Rivers. The public meetings which have been held were “information meetings,” Warren said. Warren said that many landowners along the rivers were opposed to the scenic river designation recommended by the Virginia Commission on Outdoor Recrea tion. Most seemed to be afraid that more and more canoeists and fishermen will use the rivers once they are designated as scenic. The landowners feared that greater use would bring about destruction of the natural setting from littering and abuse, Warren said. Bob Blackmore of the Commission on Outdoor Recreation has said that designation as a scenic river only means that “The General Assembly recognizes the value of the river and wants to consider in its planning program protection of the resource.” The Commission on Outdoor Recreation has recommended that primary protection for the river should come in the form of local zoning ordinances, Warren said. He also told the Planning Commissioners that nothing in the scenic river designation will prevent construction of a reservoir above Fredericksburg for flood control. Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania and Stafford don’t want scenic river designation to hinder their eventual use of the river as a water supply, although a study has indicated they would not need to use the Rappahannock as a water supply before the year 2000. Some property owners along the river feel they’ve protected it for 100 years and they’re best able to protect it for another 100 years, Warren said. Navigable rivers like these are owned in common by all people of Virginia, but many of the landowners don’t agree. Some of them think their property line goes out into the middle of the river. Some of the landowners had not understood the purpose of the informational meetings and had tried to use them to make statements rather than ask questions, Warren said. But at the next meeting, a public hearing, they will have their chance to make statements of opposition or support. The hearing will be taped and the transcript will become part of the record studied by the Virginia General Assembly before deciding on the designation.

She was a life long resident of Rappahannock, the daughter of the late Will and Mollie Settle Norman, both Rappahannock natives. She was a merchant, the owner of Burke’s Store, Woodville and a member of the Woodville Baptist Church. Mrs. Burke is survivied by her husband Weldon R. Burke; a daughter, Mrs. James Falls and two grandchildren, all of Woodville. Also surviving are four sisters, Mrs. Kenneth Fortune and Mrs. Roscoe Burke, both of Front Royal, Mrs. Raymond Hawkins and Mrs. Susie Settle, both of Culpeper; two brothers, Milton Norman of Culpeper and W. B. Norman of Front Royal. A funeral service will be held today, Thursday, at 2 p.m. at the Clore Funeral Home Chapel, Culpeper, conducted by the Rev. B. G. Titchenall, the Rev. Allen Estep and the Rev. Kirby Shenk. Burial will be in Woodville Cemetery. Pallbearers are Wilson Burke, Roscoe Burke, Kenneth Fortune, Clifton Clark, George K. Miller, A. F. Cannon, Emory Conners and Marshall Burke. □ ing they’d been told the money’s just not available. The District Planning Commissioners authorized executive director Art Warren to enter into an agreement with Fauquier County to “assure smooth implementation’’ of a grant which will be used to pay for the costs of restudying the service districts and growth areas in Fauquier’s master plan. Planner Ken Ostrick was introduced to the commissioners as “the new Jim White.” Jim White resigned as physical planner for the district to take a job with Culpeper County. “I’m not sure how to take that,” Ostrick grinned. “Just say I’m the new Ken Ostrick.” The district commission’s new physical planner then presented a slide show. He emphasized that the Planning District has some “of the best agricultural land in the world” and should be protected from “sprawl” through “planned growth.”□ REVIVAL A revival will begin September 16 at Massanova Fenecostal Church with the Rev. Lindsey Savage of Mt. Olive as guest speaker. The services start at 7 p.m. each night except Sundays when the hour is 6:30 p.m. An all day meeting is set for Sunday, September 28.

RLEP meeting From Paee 1 emanate from around the eyes, have nerve endings in them. The “horns of the Great Horned owl are only ornamental feathers,” Bradley said. Owls are exceptionally good hunters. In competition among Falconers, the people who hunt birds of prey, owls have beaten peregrines, goshawks and gyrefalcons. Bradley believes his owl Gypsy to be the largest East Coast Great Horned owl. She’s even larger than East Coast Great Horned owls are supposed to be and is thus more the size of the Great Horned Owls of the West Coast. “So she has to be a female,” he concluded; among birds of prey, the female is the larger. ANYONE who wants to keep a bird of prey can expect to spend two to three hours of daylight time with each bird each day. It’s not an avocation for someone with a nine to five job. Bradley said the divorce rate among falconers is the highest in the world; the only way to stay married is to be married to a falconer. “Then she can go play with her bird while you play with yours,” he said. Bradley noted that a glance at the legs of a bird of prey can give a clue as to how they consume their food. Owls are feathered nearly to the talon. This indicates they con UMAWVr WIVii pH VJ flllV/AVt * tailed hawk is feathered only to what seems to be a knee joint. This indicates they stand on their prey and shred it. The call most people associate with owl is the call of the Great Horned Owl. His own bird has tried to hoot twice and failed miserably at it both times, Bradley said. This suggests that she’s been kept in captivity most of her life, he thinks. BRADLEY was asked if there is some way to make your property more attractive to owls. The way you make your land attractive to any wildlife is to supply them with food, he said. The chief prey of owls is mice and few people want to introduce mice to their property, especially when there’s no guarantee you’d get an owl, he said. Bradley had his owls as props, but he went ahead and talked about the wolves anvwav. He has worked for the E. H. McCleery Lobo Wolf Foundation, which McCleery started in hopes of saving the Buffalo Wolf. The foundation raises wolves in captivity, giving them enclosures of several acres to run in, and hopes to some day release them in their native wild habitat. Release will depend upon when a large enough wild area becomes available and when the public of that area is ready to accept the idea of releasing predators. There are now 130 wolves at the Lobo wolf foundation headquarters in Gardiner, Washington. Their efforts may have saved the buffalo wolf from extinction. The last reported sighting of a buffalo wolf in the wild was in 1938. The buffalo wolf was named for his chief prey; two wolves working as a pair Could bring down a buffalo, so you can imagine the size and power of this kind of wolf, Bradley said. HE BROUGHT along paintings and photographs. One way the Lobo Wolf Foundation makes money is through the sale of wildlife artists’ paintings of the wolves. After Bradley’s talk, RLEP members met his birds at closer range. Children and adults touched both the hawk and owl. One youngster noted that the owl had “bad breath” when it hissed. In other business, co-chairman of RLEP’s emergency action committee, formed after the State Corporation Commission found in favor of Vepco in their bid to run a 500 kv powerline across Rappahannock, reported on further action concerning the powerline case. Ed Harris said RLEP has hired attorney John Schell to represent them before the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, formerly a part of the Atomic Energy Commission.

Kramer asked that RLEP members contact friends throughout Virginia, or give him the names of people in other counties who might help get 661 repealed. Phil Irwin announced that RLEP has received a $3,000 grant from the Public Welfare Foundation of Washington, D.C. That means RLEP still owes its Richmond attorneys $1,500 for arguing the RLEP case against the powerline before the State Corporation Commission. In addition, RLEP will owe the attorneys another $3,500 for the appeal to the Supreme Court. Art Wright, a Rappahannock resident who works for the Wilderness Society in Washington, D.C., told fellow RLEP members that Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson has withdrawn his support for the wilderness area proposal for the Shenandoah National Park. Senator Harry Byrd still supports the proposal, Wright said. Apparently, wilderness opponents in Madison County have persuaded Robinson to not support the bill, Wright said. He had brought more information for RLEP members to take home with them, correcting what he said were misconceptions which are often spread by wilderness opponents. Wilderness area designation will not mean that the Park service will allow forest fires to burn throughout the park or onto private land. It does not mean that roads, trucks or helicopters are prohibited from the park in case of emergency. Under the wilderness legislation, the Park Service may take any action in an emergency which they have done in the past. But Wilderness designation will prevent the construction of new roads, lodges, permanent campsites or sewage disposal areas in the wilderness area. Wright asked that RLEP members write to Robinson and ask that he support the wilderness proposal. RLEP members accepted unanimously the report of the nominating committee.

Area scenic rivers are recommended GOOSE CREEK in Loudoun County and portions of the Rappahannock and Rapidan Rivers have been recommended for State Scenic River designation by the Virginia Commission of Outdoor Recreation. The Commission voted Monday, September 8, in Richmond to recommend to Governor Godwin and the General Assembly that 27.5 miles of Goose Creek, 29 miles of the Rappahannock and 13 miles of the Rapidan be controlled under state scenic river legislation. If the rivers are designated “scenic,” no dams can be built without the permission of the General Assembly, and recreation will be encouraged. The Commission of Outdoor Recreation also approved an expenditure of $1,075,000 in state funds for the purchase of the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority’s Algonkian park. The 240-acre park in juuuuuuh un me ruiumac River was leased from Pepco last year, under an arrangement where the state would buy the park for the park authority. The proposed scenic river designation of the Rappahannock and Rapidan Rivers has run into intense opposition from the officials in the Fredericksburg area who want to build a large Salem Church-type dam on the river so the area can grow faster. Many rural landowners in Orange, Culpeper and Fauquier Counties have also objected to increased recreational use of the rivers under state scenic river control. The State Parks Department would administer the rivers under the COR’s recommendation for the Rappahannock and Rapidan. THE COR has offered a compromise with the Fredericksburg area whereby an existing dam on the Rappahannock can be raised by 20 feet, which would give more water than is needed for Fredericksburg, according to a consultant hired by the city. But Fredericksburg still wants to build a dam the size of the proposed Salem Church Dam, which was dropped as too expensive by the Corps of Engineers last year. Supporters of the State Scenic River designation admit there are things wrong with the program, but argue that if the state does designated and control the use of the Rappahannock and Rapidan, the federal government will. This is considered a very real possibility by many local and state officials. Dam and recreational problems also threaten the proposed scenic river designation of Goose Creek. The scenic designation was proposed by Loudoun citizens and officials in order to stop the Fairfax Water Authority’s plans to build a new dam on the river. But more and more landowners are becoming concerned about the increased recreational use of the river if it is declared “scenic” by the General Assembly. Public hearings on all three rivers will be held throughout the state. Hearings will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Fredericksburg and Fairfax October 6, in Culpeper and Leesburg on October 7, in Richmond and Harrisonburg on October 8, and in Norfolk and Roanoke on October 9.D Community Concert series CULPEPER Community Concert Association is offering subscription memberships for the 197576 season to newcomers to the five - county area for a limited time, Monday-Friday, September 15-19.

The Certificate of Recognition issued by the Governor reads as follows: “By virtue of the authority vested by the Constitution in the Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia, there is hereby officially recognized Virginia Hunting and Fishing Day 1975. Since colonial times, hunters and fishermen of Virginia have concerned them selves with the conservation of wildlife and their natural habitat. In more recent years, they have asked that their equipment and right to pursue their interest be taxed for the benefit of fish and wildlife management. Calling attention to these activities, the Virginia Chapters of the Izaak Walton League, together with the state’s sportsmen, observe Saturday, September 27, as Virginia Hunting and Fishing Day, and I call its significance to the attention of our people. ”□ r MILLER TOYOTA Well Made - Well Tested Well Equipped - Well Priced A-1 Corolla Corona Land Cruiser Pickup Mark It We don't know which Toyota you'll like best But we do know what you’ll like best about Toyota THE STICKER PRICE MILLER in MANASSAS 8566 Sudley Rd.

State school funding formula criticized From Page 1 and you can’t buy your beef and apples as cheap as you used to because you can’t get them locally, he said. Rappahannock County must spend $1.35 per pupil per day, according to the state formula, Masterson said. If the state had used the $60 million figure for “true market value” instead of $90 million, that $1.35 figure would decrease to $1.05. But that’s still more than other rural counties of comparable size are paying, George Davis pointed out. He read from a list compiled by the State Board of Education. Nelson County, which is also a small, rural mountain county, spends $.77 per pupil per day, nearly half of what Rappahannock pays. But Nelson County has twice Rappahannock’s school age population, total population, personal income and retail sales. RAPPAHANNOCK has 1,163 students in school, a population of 5,200, personal income of $10,294,020, retail sales of $2,823,849 and “true market value” of $90,443,000. Nelson County has 2,»5l school students, a population of 11,300, personal income of $20,911,000, retail sales of $5,772,707 and a true market value of $106,996,000—and spends half the amount per pupil per day of Rappahannock. So the higher your real estate’s worth, the more you pay. It’s that simple, Masterson told the Supervisors. James Adkins, a math teacher from Rappahannock County High School, was at the Supervisors’ meeting too. Adkins and Brian Patterson, also a math teacher, had worked and reworked the state formula to make sure their “discrimination” charge could be substantiated. Masterson admitted the figuring was too much r for him alone. The formula, (using the figures for sales, income, true market value, population, etc.) “says you take .333 of X and add it to .66 of Y to get Z Master son laughed. Unless you had some time, and some knowledge of algebra, you can’t figure it out, he said. But Patterson and Adkins had done the figuring and they’d concluded the state’s own formula doesn’t work in practice the way it purports to in theory, at least not for Rappahannock. Masterson said the discrimination wasn’t intentional. “After all, what formula could take into consideration that we would have an inflation and a recession at the same time?’’ he asked. MASTERSON, George Davis, Herbert Barksdale and Delegate French Slaughter have taken their findings of “discrimination” in the state formula to the State Board of Education and the State Commissioner of Revenue in Richmond. “We were well received,” Masterson told the Supervisors, “but we walked out as short as we walked in.” Dr. Walter Campbell, head of the State Board of Education, apologized that he’s only been in the job five weeks and doesn’t know much about how the formula works. At the State Commissioner of Revenue Office, the Rappahannock delegation was told “We don’t defend this formula, we just work it.’’ Masterson continued to tell the Supervisors that the state formula worked to Rappahannock’s disadvantage. Not that Rappahannock’s Supervisors needed any convincing. They’ve often muttered and sputtered their disgust for state and federal required programs and the lack of state and federal help in paying for those required programs. They would probably have Time to go. . . BACK TO SCHOOL Call now for your STUDENT SCHOOL SUBSCRIPTION $2*75 for the School Term. Mail anywhere in the UJS.A. Name School Address - State---ZipDate to begin subscription agreed with Masterson that the state had shortchanged them without being told on what or how, and at Thursday’s meeting they were glad Masterson had facts to substantiate what they all had long suspected was true. RAPPAHANNOCK is 48th among the 130 school jurisdictions in Virginia in what they actually pay their teachers, while in population, retail sales and other figures, Rappahannock is around 127 or 128. But according to the state formula, Rappahannock is listed as third in the state of Virginia in “ability to pay,” Masterson said. The Virginia Education Association has not helped matters any, Masterson said. In the past they have sent teachers information on the county’s “ability to pay” and have encouraged them to agitate for higher salaries in line with that “ability to pay,” without explaining the artificial and misrepresentative nature of the “ability to pay” figure, Masterson said. The Supervisors nodded their heads in agreement with everything Masterson said and thanked him and Adkins for the work they’d done, once their presentation was through. “We got to convince the legislature to change this,” H. B. Wood said. Masterson said French Slaughter had concluded the same thing. Slaughter hopes the legislature can work out some way to tie the school tax to actual land use. Then the tax would correspond more closely to the personal income figure, and the productive value of the land. Pete Luke said Rappahannock ought to get in touch with other counties affected the same way and ask them to join in a statewide effort to get the formula changed. James Adkins, the math teacher who’d worked with Masterson, predicted that the Board of Education’s defense of the formula would be that “it helps some and it hurts some, so git evens out statewide.” “Well, it sure hurts here, because it’s determining land use,” Masterson said. After the meeting, outside the courthouse, George Davis grinned and said he’d told the officials in Richmond Rappahannock might have to consider seceding from the state of Virginia. They’d tried that before, when Virginia went Republican for Herbert Hoover, Davis said; it hadn’t worked then, but that’s not any reason nnt to trv a pa in Masterson’s list of figures from the State Board of Education shows that Rappahannock County is required to spend more per day per pupil than Fauquier, Clarke, Prince William, the city of Richmond, the affluent Richmond suburb of Henrfco County and Fairfax County JfThe figure “per pupil per day’^jflrepresents the money that musJrcome directly from the locality. For comparison, the state figures show that Clarke County has 1,792 school students, 8,300 population, personal income of $24,954,160, retail sales of $9,084,501, true market value of $108,181,000. Clarke County spends $1.26 per day per student. Fauquier County has 6,652 students, population of 27,100, income of $72,689,500, retail sales of $36,668,540, and true market value of $458,985,000. Fauquier spends $1.34 per day per student. Prince William has 30,768 students, a population of 118,500, per sonal income of $333,972,612, retail sales of $171,100,525 and true market value real estate of $1,245,703,000.

Erosion control ordinance considered RAPPAHANNOCK’S Supervisors will host a public hearing on a proposed erosion and sedimentation control ordinance at the October Supervisors’ meeting. The Supervisors aren’t exactly pleased with the proposed ordinance; it wasn’t their idea and several aren’t convinced it’s even necessary. But the State of Virginia requires it, Planning Commissioner Walter Masterson told the Board at its September meeting. “It’s another one of these deals where you’re wrong if you do and you’re wrong if you don’t.” If Rappahannock County doesn’t adopt such an ordinance, the District Soil and Water Conservation District or the state of Virginia will impose one. So it’s better for Rappahannock to draw up its own ordinance, Planning Commission Chairman Herbert Barksdale said. “So we can get some reasonable thinking from the county instead of some unreasonable thinking out of Richmond,” he said. The erosion and sedimentation ordinance will require anyone who undertakes a “land-disturbing activity” involving more than 10,000 square feet to draw up a plan outlining how he will try to prevent erosion and sedimentation resulting from the project. The plan will have to be approved by the county engineer who will make inspections of the construction site to make sure the developer follows his plan. The ordinance also requires that the builder be bonded— Airman Louis H. Cordle, son of Mrs. Eleanor M. Cordle of Route 1, Sperryville, has been selected for technical training in the U. S. Air Force aircraft equipment maintenance Held at Chanute AFB, 111. The airman recently completed basic training at Lackland AFB, Tex. where he studied the Air Force mission, organization and customs and received special instruction in Human relations. Airman Cordle is a 1972 graduate of Rappahannock County High School in Washington, Va., and earned a certificate in auto analysis this year from Lord Fairfax College in Middletown. VIEWTOWN Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Sheetz and Jimmy of Merrifield were Sunday guests of Mrs. Ernest Mozingo. Mrs. Harry 'Woodward of Warrenton was the overnight guest Saturday of Mr. and Mrs. Ellis Smith. Monday guests of the Smiths were Mr. and Mrs. Ellis Smith, Jr. of Warrenton.D $4,800 for the first acre and $2,400 for each acre after that. INSPECTION fees of $12 an hour will be charged to the land disturber. The minimum fee for inspection will be $250, Masterson said. The Supervisors weren’t happy about “another one of those state programs” but they were willing to go along with what Masterson had outlined, especially after he said agricultural activity would be exempted from the ordinance, which was designed to offset erosion damages from big projects, like housing developments and shopping centers. uui uicii ii. jj. h uuu aiiu uci“ bert Foster realized that anyone building a private road of more than 10,000 square feet in area or 300 feet in length would have to comply with the ordinance. “You mean I could plow up half a mountainside and not come under it, but if I built a road up to my house I’d have to pay $250?’’ H.B. Wood asked, and shook his head. The ordinance might be all right if it just covered shopping centers and subdividers, but that’s all it should cover, Wood said. Herbert Foster agreed; that $250 fee was pretty steep for someone who just wanted to put in a road up to his house. Masterson said the planning commissioners had been “batting the ordinance around’’ for six months. They had tried to tie it into the county zoning ordinance, relating the amount of the fee and bonding to the degree of slope. Then they had tried to decide on how long a road and how much fee. Finally they’d decided just to go with what the state model ordinance suggested. MASTERSON thought Rappahannock should get some reimbursement from the state for implementing the ordinance, especially if the county is required to set up an office and hire a secretary to help county engineer Baumgardner implement the ordinance. “We’re getting so many laws on the books. I ask, just what is going to happen,’’Herbert Foster mused. “They ought to do something about the erosion of Constitutional rights,” George Davis said. "They ougnt to do sometnmg about the erosion of mentality down in Richmond, ” H. B. Wood said. “But that’s been going on such a long time,” Herbert Foster said. Pete Luke said he’d get with Walter Masterson and see if some kind of “compromise” could be written into the ordinance concerning the requirements for bonding and fees for private driveways. IN OTHER business, Pete Luke said he was hearing “rumblings” in favor of “some kind of curfew.” There seems to be more late night loitering, people sitting out in front of stores, than ever before, he said. Sheriff John Walker Jenkins agreed loitering is becoming more frequent throughout the county. He suggested mer chants post their property. Herbert Foster said Flint Hill would take a blue ribbon if they were being given for loitering. Something should be done, he agreed, but wondered what could be done. Nobody seemed to know and the matter was left hanging. Earlier in the meeting Pete Luke had said consideration of the J. L. Williams request for an exception to the subdivision ordinance would have to be postponed. Attorney T. C. Lea, who represents the Williames, fell outside the courthouse after the last hearing, breaking some ribs and injuring a kidney. Lea has been in critical condition at Culpeper hospital, Luke said. □ PASTOR C. R.

Voter residence rule s MRS. JOAN MAHAN, secretary of the State Board of Elections, has urged all Virginians who move their place of residence before the November 4 election to transfer their voting registration to the election district of their new residence. The last day to do this is October 4. Mrs. Mahan noted that if a voter fails to advise the registrar of his change of residence from one place to another, and the move occurred more than 30 days prior to the election, such voter may not be permitted to vote. Virginia law requires that a person, to be entitled to vote, must be a citizen of the United States, 18 years of age, a resident of the Commonwealth and of the precinct in which he offers to vote 30 days prior to the election and must be duly registered and otherwise qualified under the Constitution. “I encourage all voters of the Commonwealth to make certain that they are registered to vote in the precinct in which they are residing in order that they will be qualified to vote in the November 4 election. If a person is not registered in the election district where he lives, he should immediately appear before the General Registrar of the county or city where he is currently living and change his registration,” she “WE HOPE to be able to train the public to change their voting registration when they move at the same time they change their telephone and other utilities and the address on their driver’s license and credit cards,’’ Mrs. Mahan continued. “It is extremely important that people realize that they cannot go back to the place they used to live to vote unless they have moved within the thirty days immediately prior to the election in which they offer to vote. Voters are very unhappy when they go to the polls and the election official informs them that they cannot vote because they no longer have resi dency in that precinct,” Mrs. Mahan said. “If we can just teach people to change their voting registration at the time they move, everyone otherwise qualified to vote will be able to participate in all elections.” □ Ground beef rules THE VIRGINIA State Board of Agriculture and Commerce held two public hearings in Richmond on August 6. The first was to consider repealing a part of VDAC’s rules and regulations for enforcement of the Virginia Fertilizer Law. The proposed change in the regulation, which was approved by the Board, deletes the requirement of a minimum magnesium content in tobacco fertilizer. The second public hearing was held for the Board to consider the adoption of rules and regulations pertaining to the use of qualifying terms for “ground beef.” The regulations, which were fussed by the Board after making two amendments, will require retailers to either label or display a placard with the statement: “Does Not Exceed (blank) Percent Fat” for their ground beef when such terms as “lean,” “extra lean,” “super lean,” or “premium” are used to modify the term ground beef. THE regulation further requires that if primal cut name is used to modify the term ground beef such as “ground chuck,’’ “ground round,” or “chopped sirloin,” the meat used in this ground beef must be meat exclusively from that part of the animal carcass. The regulation also set a permitted var- , iation of 3 percent above the max imum declared on the label or placard and also prescribed the manner in which inspection samples will be taken. The new regulation will not take effect for at least 30 days. □ Boy arrested for murder An arrest has been made in the murder July 31 of Jennings Stuart Webb, age 9, of Amissville. A 12-year-old Arlington youth, Webb’s cousin, has been charged with the slaying. After a hearing in Culpeper County Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court, the Arlington boy was released to the custody of his parents. The Webb child was missing from his home just past mid-day on the 31st and was found early the following morning strangled with his belt and had sustained a fractured skull according to the Culpeper Sheriff. □ SHELTERS How Do You Want Yours?
