Rappahannock News, February 12, 1976

FEB 13 I97i Courts press for extra space THE judges who sit at Rappahannock Court House need more space, and the Board of Supervisors has been urged to take steps to make the space available/ As Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis put it at thje February meeting of the Supervisors: “The Courts would like to make this a request, but under the statutes, it could be an order with a writ of mandamus.” Under Virginia law, it is the responsibility of a county Board of Supervisors to provide sufficient space for the conduct of the courts, including record:keeping. In rapidly growing Prince William County, two extra court rooms had to be constructed when the judges told the county that the old court space was no longer adequate. In Fauquier County, a request for more courtroom space was parlayed by the Supervisors into an elaborate county court and office building project^ a costly matter that still stirs political sparks. Rappahannock’s situation was brought to the fore at the Thursday, February 5, meeting of the Supervisors by the appearance of Judge Moffett of the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court. He came with a letter from Judge William Carson of the General District Court informing the Supervisors that extra space is needed, and that he wanted the two rooms on the ground floor of the courthouse now used by the voting registrar and the zoning office. Right now, the court has been using a corner of Clerk Ned Jones’s office, but Jones says he’s running out of room, too, and mentioned the possibility of adding a wing to the clerk’s building, to house the growing number of county records entrusted to his care. COMMONWEALTH’S Attorney George Davis told the Supervisors that a meeting had been held that very morning about the court house space problem. Supervisor Butch Eastham asked immediately whether it might not be possible to move the sheriff’s office to the old county jail building. “That’s not feasible,” said Davis. “What we need in the court house is more room for courtconnected operations.. .The county is going to have to consider an office building.” Supervisor H. B. Wood shook his head. “We had ?,000 people living in the county 20 years ago, and now we’ve only got 5,000— but we need more space!” Clerk Jones read a report on the “office space meeting,” which he said was attended by Judge Rayner Snead, Judge Moffett, Commonwealth’s Attorney Davis, Sheriff W. A. Bun tin, himself and “a member of the bar.” The report concluded that extra space is needed for the sheriff and the commonwealth’s clerk, and a room of witnesses. Jones said the clerk’s office needs “double” the space it now has. Added Jones, “You might have to move all offices out of the court house that are not court-related.” “YOU CAN rent some rooms over the bank,” said George Davis. “I have long thought that we should have office space of our own, and save all the money we’re See Page 4 Illegal dump use charged to man A Fauquier County man has been charged with illegal use of a trash dumping site in Rappahannock County. Sheriff William A. Buntin reported to the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors that Ronnie Burnette of Hume was caught emptying the contents of a truck at the county’s trash site at Huntly, on Route 522. Burnette’s case is scheduled to be heard in court in Rappahannock on March 5.D Maryland barn finds a new home BY DAPHNE UCCULLOUGH THE old bam on the Birdfamily farm in Jefferson, Md., had not aged gracefully. After 150 years, the shingled roof w^s rotted through and the foundation sat in four feet of manure. With the passing of a few more years nothing would be left. The barn might have fallen into complete ruin if the Birds had not also had a farm outside Flint Hill, in Rappahannock County. On Horse Shoe Hollow Farm, Chris Bird needed a structure for hay storage and shelter for his herd of Angus-Hereford cattle. The old “Pennsylvania bank'barn” 75 miles away would fill the need perfectly. Here was an opportunity to preserve an example of antique craftsmanship while serving a practical purpose. The Birds decided to move the barn and restore it, while preserving its pre-Civil War character. (The “Pennsylvania bank barn” was a classic early 1800’s farm structure. The barn was built into the side of a sloping bank of earth, with the lower level used for livestock shelter and the upper level used for hay storage. By building in this fashion, both sections could be entered easily at ground level.) Chris Bird lacked experience dismantling barns, particularly ones put together with wooden pegs, and floor joists taken from an older log cabin. The siding was of boards fashioned by old up-and-down water-powered saws. He hired Gary Spencer, a Flint Hill carpenter skilled in the use of httiiu iuui6 rather than power saws, to direct thte operation. Chris and Gary, with Bob Coles and Sheree Osborne, also of Flint Hill, began the job a year ago. THE shingle roof on the 30 feet by 60 feet structure could not be salvaged. It was left behind with the buried foundation. Twenty tons of 14 and 16 foot timbers were moved by dump truck and tractor trailor. About 100 pegs used in the mortised and tenoned building were saved to be re-used See Page 18

SARAH C LATHAM, Manafinf Editor Telephone Washinfton 675-3349 Who’s for growth? THE reaction of Aldie citizens to subdivision plans that would double or triple their community; the reaction of New Baltimore area citizens to proposed master planning of their neighborhood; the reaction of the vast majority of citizens who turned out for a planning meeting concerning The Plains and Marshall—all these things lead to an interesting question. In continuing to plan for growth, even scaled-down, ^affordable” growth, who are county officials in this part of Piedmont Virginia representing? With the exception of a sturdy group in Marshall, the message that has come through most clearly at all of these sessions in that the current residents of the area do not want growth—not orderly growth, not planned growth, not affordable growth, not phased growth, not growth of any kind. They want Aldie, New Baltimore, The Plains, Upper Fauquier, Western Loudoun, to stay as it is, rural and open. They don’t want high density development, whether it’s ^ channelled into existing towns and villages or “clustered” tastefully amid the hills and dales, or bunched around high ways, are strung out along rural roads. They don’t want growth. They want the area to stay rural and open, clean and unpolluted, uncluttered and beautiful. IT’S A plea fraught with political and legal problems, to be sure. But the original question remains: In planning for growth, just who are the Supervisors, planning commissioners and zoning board members really representing? Certainly not the people whose interests are supposed to be represented by these public officials, both the appointed ones as well as the elected ones. Otherwise, why have representative government at all? If people are being elected to office or named to public positions who have no interest in what the public desires once they achieve office, then what’s the point of having elections, public hearings, community meetings, “input” sessions—as some of the planners insist on saying? Maybe if this basic question could be answered, a lot of planning grief could be avoided. □ / Cancer clinic is described Editor: As president of the Rappahannock Unit of the American Cancer Society, and as a most interested participant in the Skin Cancer Clinic that is being held on Saturday, March 20, I would like to stress a few facts. Statistics show that skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in North America, and accounts for 20% of all cancer. There wiH be 300,000 new skin cancer"cases this year, and 5,000 people will die from skin cancer alone. This will be the Rappahannock Unit’s first opportunity to share with the County one of the services sponsored by A.^,S. C. Through the years the County has given time and-mdfiey during the Crusade drives to help others fight cancer. Now it seems a good time to help ourselves fight cancer. * The Clinic will cost nothing in money and about five minutes of time. Can you spend less and get more? \ Our officers, the Board and the members sincerely hope this service will be used by everyone in the County. Mrs. Robert J.

Letters to the editor Kindergarten would pose hardships Editor: No one will deny children need all the learning experiences which were pointed out in a letter to the Editor in February 5 issue of Rappahannock News. However, there are some VERY important factors which were not mentioned in that letter, i.e.;—entrance date for first grade pupils; long bus rides and long days. With the entrance date for first grade pupils being changed to January first, many kindergarten age children will be in first grade and four and a half year olds in kindergarten. It would be interesting to know how Bereiter, Engleman and many other educators would react to putting 41/2 - 5 year olds on a school bus on anyone of the following schedules: Leave Slate Mills Viewtown Castleton Culpeper Line 7:22 a.m. 7:35 a.m. 7:25 a.m 7:30 a.m. Return 4:10 p.m. 4:30 p.m. 4:15 p.m. 4:15 p.m. At no other stage does a child learn more ireeiy tnan a live year old. Physical and emotion are closely interwoven in the learning process. Consider the physical and emotional condition of a pre-^*k school age child who has spent more than two hours of a long day on a school bus plus the long hours in a classroom. He learns freely— will he be developing a healthy attitude towards school or will his emotional and physical exhaustion turn him against what he needs most? Family relationships contribute much to a child’s readiness for learning. What relationship will a child have with his family when he is exhausted? Good general living builds readiness for learningage, ma&rity, family relationships, life experiences and attitude, each playing a large part of the total readiness. A well planned HALF DAY kindergarten program can be a most worthwhile experience for any child—EXTEND the preschool summer program for six weeks. A kindergarten program in Rappahannock at this time would be too high in cost—FIRST to the child, second to the county. I urge the avid supporters of kindergarten to board one of the buses on the schedule—experience the long ride and day in school —be sure to ride back on the bus too. This will give more insight to the total situation—We have to think of ALL children when planning takes place for changes in our school system. . _ Frances Lyne Kindergartens opposed Editor: The kindergarten issue appears to have inspired people to emotion and action. I had decided not to enter the controversy as I felt kindergarten was educational. 1 now feel it is not. Mrs. Frances Lyne’s letter “Think of the Children” started me thinking about kindergarten. Mrs. Lyne questioned the value of kindergarten and felt it might be harmful to the children. As you know Mrs. Lyne is a most respected retired elementary school teacher. She taught first grade for years. Mrs. Lyne’s letter inspired me to investigate the issue. Christopher Jencks, (Associate Professor at Harvard) in his book “Inequality” summarizedthe SeePage 3

F 0 X ?t~Aey Kindergartens opposed From Page 2 results of three years of educational research at the Harvard Center for Educational Policy Research. His Co-Authors had all been Research Associates at the center. Mr. Jencks was the author of numerous articles appearing in the “New Republic. The New York Times Magazine,” “Atlantic Monthly” and the “Harvard Educational Review.” Mr. Jencks found: 1. There is negligible difference in mean sixth grade achieve ment between schools with high proportions of kindergarten alumni and schools with low proportions. 2. Pre-schools (kindergartens) have little permanent effect on cognitive (knowledge) development. 3. Head Start children’s advantage over non-Head Start children did not persist beyond the first grade. 4. Preschool cannot be expected to narrow the gap between the rich and poor or between whites and blacks. Universal preschooling might even widen the gap. Item no. 4 could be especially damaging to many of our children. If we believe the results of the study at Harvard, kindergarten as an educational aid is questionable at best and detrimental at worst. I sincerly hope that Rappahannock County will not unwittingly damage our children in the name of Education. Newbill Miller Kindergartens urged for Rappahannock Editor: We feel that there are somefacts regarding kindergarten for Rappahannock County which need to be emphasized. (1) The Virginia State Department of Education requires all districts to provide kindergarten although attendance is not mandatory. (2) If the Rappahannock School Board does not submit an acceptable kindergarten program by the end of February, the Virginia State Department of Education can demand to be paid what amounts to a $33,000 fine. This is a disgraceful waste of county taxes. (3) A child does not have a fixed intelligence, or a predetermined rate of intellectual growth, contrary to such widespread opinion in the past. His level of intelligence can be changed, for better or worse, by the environment and especially during the earliest years of his life (J. McV. Hunt Intelligence and Experience) in Rappahannock County where many children don’t have the advantages of close neighbors, libraries, recreation centers, zoos and art museums. Kindergarten is almost too late. A child should have the experiences a kindergarten can offer.

Concerned persons should show their support for a kindergarten by writing or calling the Rappahannock County School Board office in Sperryville, Va. 22740 (phone 987-8773). Of course the most meaningful gesture is to attend the School Board meeting every second Tuesday of the month at 7:30 p.m. at the Rappahannock Elementary School Library and voice your opinion.

■ ' _ _ Courts press for extra space From Page 1 paying out in rent now,” said Supervisor J. R. Latham, who presided at the meeting in the absence of Chairman Pete Luke, who was ill. ‘‘1 don’t know if that would be best or not.” said H. B. Wood. ‘‘A lot of the rentals are paid by the state. Would it pay us to be our own landlord?” “The state would pay the county,” said Davis. “I think it would be more efficient,” said Latham. “I just don’t know, except for the court business,” said Wood. “If we move the present occupants out of the court house, we’ve got to find space for them,” said George Davis. And most, if not necessarily all, of these offices should be located in Washington, he thought. • Judge Moffett listend to all of this talk, and then reminded the Supervisors that he and Judge Carson were serious about needing the two rooms in the court house. Fanning Baumgardner, whose zoning office would be affected, said he thought he’d solved his own particular space problem, but he didn’t elaborate. REFERRING to Judge Carson’s letter, Judge Moffett said the clerk’s office also needs a typewriter, a desk, an adding machine, a file cabinet and three chairs. “Give the judge the space he needs,” said Supervisor Clarence Baldwin, “and let the county look for space for Col. McNear, (the zoning administrator). I understand he operates out of his house, anyway.” As the Supervisors looked perplexed, George Davis said: “You can’t move on everything right now, but you’ve got to make a start.” H. B. Wood agreed. “This is part of the whole building program that we’ve been studying, but we can’t do anything about it right away.” “But it is urgent that a serious beginning be made,” said Davis. “But you can’t study it forever,” said Judge Moffett. “We need the space. We need the room. . .I’m not trying to be difficult, but we do need the space.” WHEN Davis suggested that the Board appoint a space study committee, Wood thought it would be better to wait to do that until the chairman was present. He made a motion to that effect. Baldwin seconded it and the vote carried, 1 with Eastham voting no. “You mean you’re not even going to name them until the next time?” asked Judge Moffett. “I don’t see wasting 30 days just to name a committee,” agreed George Davis. —-NOTICETo the Voting Residents of the Town of Washington, Virginia Perspective candidates for the Town Offices of Washington, Virginia, must file with the County Clerk by March 2, 1976, for the Town Election which will bfc held May 4, 1976. Pressed, Vice Chairman Latham named Wood, Eastham and Luke to be members of a study committee. Then he was reminded of the board’s previous vote not to name a committee until next month’s meeting. “I’ll have to back up on that.” he grinned. He added: “We’ve had the problem for sometime. It shouldn’t be that difficult to live with it for a little longer.” Judge Moffett was unhappy. “We can work it out if you don’t get too impatient on it,” Latham assured him. But Moffett, and Ned Jones both insisted that the clerk’s office had to have the requested equipment items. There was a long silence. Latham finally suggested that money be approved to buy a typewriter and adding machine—“and file cabinet,” said Jones. After some more delay, they all voted approval. No dollar amount was mentioned in the motion. EARLIER in the meeting, Dr. R. S. LeGarde, district Health Officer, had appeared to ask the Supervisors to consider building a health office that would “pro-, vide for more efficiency and privacy.” He estimated that such a building might cost around $25,000, of which the state would amortize half the cost over a period of 20 years—plus payinjg 30-cents a square foot for maintenance. Such an improved facility would make it possible for his department to improve its output by 30 per cent, with no increase in manpower, Dr. LeGarde said. Finally, Clerk Jones informed the Board that an appraisal of county buildings is needed for insurance purposes. He had a list with him of all county buildings and their contents, which came to a total of $185,000. All Supervisors agreed that the figures were too low, especially the $78,000 value placed on the court house building itself. Two real estate people in the audience—Carson Johnson and Roger Batchelder—were named to form a committee to get a new appraisal.—Ray Dilley Thieves take trees, lambs MOST recent acquisitions of thieves in Rappahannock are white pine trees and lambs. This week, eight white pine trees were taken from the property of E.T. Addi near The Kennels, according to Sheriff W. A. Bun tin. Mr. Addi has grown and cared for the trees at his home in Fairfax and then transplated the five-foot trees to his Rappahannock acreage recently. This week they are gone, and it looked as if they had just been pulled up rather than dug, said the Sheriff. Between seven and ten lambs, each worth about $40, were taken from the farm of Judge and Mrs. John Rothrock near Amissville last week. The animals, weighing between 40 and 50 pounds, were from a flock which is normally disposed of on a special market, namely restaurants, said Mrs. Rothrock, and bring a good price. A single pet lamb is missing from the property of W.B. Senkewitz at Woodville which was reported to the Sheriff’s Department also. Mr. Senkewitz said people should be alerted to the fact that these things are happening and have been happening for a long time. He said people should take note of any strange vehicles or suspicious incidents. □ SUNDAY PROGRAM Past Master Richard C.

Extra Rappahannock deputy asked NEW Rappahannock County sheriff William Buntin told the Board of Supervisors at their February meeting that he’ll need an' other full-time deputy if his department is to be expected to keep up with the crime rate in the county. “I know Mr. (John Walker) Jenkins got a lot of criticism for not answering calls,” said the new Sheriff, speaking of the predecessor in his office, “but I can very readily see why, if January is an example of what is expected.” Buntin, a retired State Trooper, indicated he was surprised by the amount of business which falls to the Sheriff’s office. In January, for example, the sheriff, two-full time deputies and one part-time deputy were called upon to: Serve 88 papers, ‘‘civil and criminal, all kinds of paper, and that takes time”; contact 16 people to make up one full jury and summon seven people for service on a Grand Jury; serve papers for another jury which was “called off” before the trial; investigate “14 or 15 reported break-ins and larcenies or complaints, an average of one every other day—for a minimum figure of $8,000 worth of property stolen.” Said Buntin: “With one deputy in school, you can see that with that type of load it’s impossible for me to make a proper investigation of the cases called in... We’re behind right now.” THE Sheriff told the Supervisors, “If the county wants my department to function as it should— and I feel by the vote the county citizens gave me in the last election, and from people I contacted during the campaign, that they do want better law enforcement—then I feel die county must be willing to do something extra for better enforcement.”’ He added: “But as it is set up now, it is impossible to give the service the people want and deserve.” Adding to the work load on his department, Sheriff Buntin said, is the judges’ requirement that deputies be present at the court house on court days. In January, this meant one period of five straight days of court, and it means at least two days a week all the time. Adding to the problem is the requirement of Judge William Carson of the General District Court for two deputies while tihe is presiding in court. “Since they had a judge shot in Orange County, they’re all on edge,” said Buntin. “I feel that at a minimum we’re going to need one more full-time deputy,” the Sheriff concluded, “and I’d like to have one that was qualified to be on investigations. I can handle the paper and the administration, but I need someone to help on the investigation of breakins.” BUNTIN said he didn’t know if the State Compensation Board would approve the addition of another deputy to the department or not, but he said he planned to investigate the possibilities. If the Board approves, then the state would pay two-thirds of the salary of the deputy. While the Supervisors pondered this information, the Sheriff went on to describe further complications. One is that the jail in Rappahannock is only qualified as a “lock-up,” to keep prisoners for 24 hours at a maximum. Anything longer than that means prisoners must be transported to the Fauquier County jail, and that takes up more manpower time than could be spent on investigations. SUPERVISOR Clarence Baldwin was not impressed. “How do you account for the fact that the population of this county has been decreasing over the past 20 years but the crime rate has been going up? Are we getting a sorrier class of people coming in, or what?” Supervisor H.B. Wood said the same point impressed him, too. “I don’t understand it,” admitted Baldwin. “The truth is, the job wasn’t done properly,” replied Sheriff Buntin, “plus the fact that times have changed. People used to be willing to work (for the department) seven days a week, 10-12 hours, and they won’t do that anymore. We just can’t keep up...” Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis agreed with Buntin that “there’s been a lot of big changes in the past 20 years.” He also thought that “a large percentage of the criminals in this county are from other counties. With roads and cars it’s easy for them to come in, and they come in from other counties because they figure we’ll be less able to apprehend them here.” Commenting on Buntin’s report on break-ins and larcenies, Davis said such crimes occurring at the rate of one-a-day “is about 28 too many.” “But we can go down the road without getting mugged,” said H.B. Wood. “Larceny is the biggest crime here,” said the Sheriff. “Almost every weekend place in the county has been broken into two or three times.

The State’s not taking any action to improve the situation.” The Commonwealth’s Attorney said the shortage situation applied to his office, as well. “There is only one typewriter in the Commonwealth Attorney’s office and the sheriff’s office combined. There’s no copier that the county has provided. If people want law enforcement they must know they need the facilities and personnel to do it...Law officers get the blame for it, but it isn’t always their fault.” Supervisor Wood observed: “You’re gonna get blamed, no jnatter what.” Jack Miller spoke up from the audience: “The reason you’re having all these break-ins i§ because the courts aren’t doing a damped thing with them when you bring them in.” Buntin said even this situation merits understanding on the part of the public. When a judge knows a jail is already overcrowded and there aren’t proper facilities for handling prisoners, he’s reluctant to sentence someone to jail, said the sheriff. Wood remained unimpressed. “The theory seems to be that if we spend more money this will cure all ills. But it seems to be getting worse than better.” GEORGE DAVIS said everyone should realize that a large amount of public money is going to pay for providing legal representation for defendants unable to provide for their own lawyers. “Well, we can’t take any action until budget time,” said Supervisor J.R. Latham, who presided at the meeting in his capacity as vice chairman of the board; Chairman Pete Luke was absent because of illness. “We’re going to have to have help,” Sheriff Buntin reiterated. And when Wood continued to express his displeasure over rising county costs, Buntin noted that in neighboring Madison County, the sheriff’s department has “ten or twelve people.” The total salary involved for an extra Rappahannock deputy would be at least $8,040 a year, of which the county would pay one-third— if the Compensation Board approves. “I’m going to have to ask for it,” Buntin said.□ ■I /* NEWS POLICY The Rappahannock News does not accept social news which is more than three weeks old.

Schooley, Statistician in Charge for Virginia, said that during February, Mrs. Charlotte S. Hewitt, a trained interviewer from Winchester will call on several Rappahannock County farmers to take part in the survey by responding to questions about their production expenditures. The survey results will provide a current measure of goods and services used in agricultural production. This information will 9 SALE 4 Big Days ‘ Thur. Fri. Sat. & Mon.

AMISSVILLE NEWS Mrs. Flossie Cloud of Culpeper was a Sunday visitor of Mrs. John Poe. Mrs. Nelson Corbin has been a patient in Fauquier Hospital and was visited Sunday by Irva Poe. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bradley were dinner guests Sunday of Mr. and Mrs. Kitchen in Arlington. Sunday visitors of Mr. and Mrs. Aid for the disabled ALMOST 99,000 blind or severely disabled children of parents with little or no income and limited resources are getting almost $10.5 million a month in Federal supplemental security income payments, according to Philip E. Bettendorf, social security district manager in Winchester. The supplemental security income program makes monthly payments to people in financial need who are blind or disabled or 65 and over. There is no minimum age for payments to people who are blind or disabled. “Depending on the parents’ income and resources, payments can be made to blind or disabled children under 18—or under 21 if they’re in sch ool,” Bettendorf said. The average Federal supplemental security income payment to blind or disabled children is $106 a month. STARTING at 18, or at 21 if they’re in school, blind or disabled people may be eligible for supplemental security income payments regardless of their parents’ income and resources. “People can get information about applying.for supplemental security income payments by calling or writing any social security office,” Bettendorf said. The Winchester social security office is at 20 S. Cameron St. The phone number is 667-1511.□ A reminder of falconry controls FEBRUARY 17, is the date when new regulations become effective requiring Federal permits for falconers and setting new standards for falconry, according to Lynn A. Greenwalt, Director of the Department of The Interior’s Fish and Wildlife Service. Falconry, the ancient sport of taking quarry with trained birds of prey, has been practiced for more than 4,000 years and is increasing in popularity worldwide. An estimated 1,500 Americans engage in ths sport, and the number is growing. The regulations, published in the Federal Register on January 15: (a) require that persons entering the sport have a basic knowledge of raptor indentification, biology, regulations, care and training; (b) establish three classes of falconry permits depending upon the individual's level of competence: apprentice, general , and master classes; (c) set housing and marking requirements for raptors; (d) identify species which can be used for the port and set limits on the number of birds which can be removed from the wild (no endangered species can be used); (e) establish minimum standards to be used by the States for issuing their falconry permits. Federal regulation of falconry is required by a March, 1972, convention between the United States and Mexico, which extends Federal protection to virtually all species of North American birds traditionally used for falconry. None can be possessed without a Federal permit. Some of the more common include the redtailed hawk, prairie falcon, cooper’s hawk, goshawk, kestral, and Harris hawk.

Deer harvest Jack V. Gwynn, Game Research Biologist Supervisor for the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries, has compiled the deer harvest totals for the recently completed 1975-76 hunting season. With the exception of a relatively small number of tags yet to be received and counted, the figure represents very nearly the final total for the season. Gwynn stated that preliminary analysis indicated that the decline in the number of deer which were killed east of the Blue Ridge was in those counties having “either sex” deer regulations for the last six days and that the weather, which was rainy and cold during that period, decreased hunte pressure and hunter success. “This resulted in a drop of about 10% in counties east of the Blue Ridge,” Gwynn said. Total deer harvest for the Commonwealth, however, was up over the previous season and a new state record has been reached. During the 1975-76 hunting season, a total of 63,243 deer were harvested. This is in comparison to the 61,989 which were taken by sportsmen in the 1974-75 season and the 60,798 killed in the 1973-74 season. In the 1972-73 season 48,775 deer were taken. The new record high represents a 9.8% increase over the previous season and a 39% increase in comparison to the 197273 season. Success figures for the Archery deer season were also released by Gwynn. These numbers are included in the over-all total listed above. Statewide a total of 709 deer were taken by bow and arrow. This compares with 708 taken during the previous season. East of the Blue Ridge 320 deer were taken this season and west Rappahannock Game Warden Jim Bankston, right and Lee Haupt who holds that position in Culpeper are instructing Hunter Safety classes at Rappahannock County High School. There are about 180 students receiving instructions in gun handling and other hunting practices. Inspecting guns are Nils Aylor, Michael Carter, Gary Settle and Reggie Frye. ' of the Ridge 389 were harvested. The five high counties in the archery season were: Grayson, with 57; Stafford, 54; theHampton-New - port News are, 42; Rockingham, 40; and Wythe with 33.

Washington Weekend observance set THIS fourth fanfare (and forecast for February)sounds an invitation to all Rappahannock to observe the Washington Weekend (this year February 14, 15 and 16) by coming to the Trinity Episcopal Church parish hall on Sunday, February 15 at 3 p.m., to see and hear. (This follows a 2 p.m. meeting of the Historical Society in the parish hall). What you will hear will be Mr. E.M. Jones telling what Rappahannock history can be gleaned from the records since 1833 reposing in his office and a representative from the Culpeper registry relating what can be learned there about this county prior to 1833—before Rappahannock was “erected,” as they once said, by a surveyor’s line and, I suppose it should be added, by an Act of the Virginia legislature. What you will see (besides, it is hoped, more Bicentennial Bustles) is a film engaged for the enjoyment of all-comers. The title is unavailable at this time as two films must be requested so a second may be sent if the first choice is doing duty elsewhere. And an additional spectacular— a demonstration of making a colonial costume from available clothing—showing that it is not a for midable task to rival colonial dames and gentlemen at slight expense. THERE will also be a discussion of plans for the Glorious Fourth and suggestions for giving it a real 1776 flavor on the assumption, not too extreme, that two hundred years ago our forefathers knew a little something about how to put on an enjoyable accompanient to stirring decisions such as breaking political and other bonds which they felt should be severed. A chairman for this cardinal celebration will soon be announced. Before laying the bugle down pro tem, this tooter will shrill another impassioned appeal for more ladies to sew on garments for the June 12 Pageant “Let Freedom Ring.” The costumes must be done before beguiling Spring blows its call to the outdoors, or they won’t be ready in time. A cataclysmic contingency. And any revelation of the whereabouts of a tandem bicycle (for two) as well as the repeatedly mentioned little-big wheel bike will be warmly welcome. Please relay any rumor of the existence of these items to Mrs. O’Connor at 675-3283. That’s it—except—do remember the rapidly nearing 15th at 3 p.m.—in costume if humanly possible.—Waldron O’Connor County must buy a voting machine RAPPAHANNOCK County may have to buy one voting machine in time for use in the upcoming presidential election, for use in Hampton Precinct. John G. Carney, Jr., chairman of the county electoral board, appeared at the February 5 meeting of the Board of Supervisors to remind them that state law dictates that voting machines must be provided for all voting precincts which have 500 or more registered voters. Hampton is the only precinct that qualifies in Rappahannock, he said, with “around” 607 voters. “The precinct will have 558 registered voters after the list is purged to take off all people who have voted, but since this is a Presidential year, some of those are expected to reregister,” said Carney. In reply to questions from the Supervisors, Carney said the law specifically prohibits “gerrymandering’ ’ of voting districts to avoid the voting machine requirement. Therefore, some of the Hampton precinct voters could not be shifted to Sperryville. AndSperryville is close to the requirement already, he noted. 5 “BUT we wouldn’t be shifting it around for that,” grinned Supervisor H. B. Wood. “We’d be doing it for the convenience of the public,” said Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis. Carney said he didn’t know how much the voting machine would cost, but he offered to look into the matter, and also see if it might be possible to lease a machine. He also noted that Del. French Slaughter is pressing for legislation to raise die minimum number of voters for which a voting ma<* CARD OF THANKS I wish to express my appreciation to everyone for their sympathy and many kindnesses extended • during our bereavement at the death of William Wigington.

THERE was much grumbling around the Supervisors’ table about still another state law which requires localities to do such and such. Carney also said an assistant registrar is needed since Mrs. Joseph Scherschel resigned, “for reasons of her own.” Accompanying Carney were electoral board members James F. Massie and Morgan Johnson.

Flood insurance available in county FEDERAL FLOOD INSURANCE became available for citizens of Rappahannock County effective January 7, according to the State water Control Board. This insurance provides limited insurance protection against flooding damage to structures and their contents at a 90% federally subsidized rate. The table below sets forth the limits of subsidized coverage and the applicable premium rates: Limits of Coverage and Subsidized Rates Structure Structure Contents Coverage Rates Coverage Contents Rate (per $1000 coverage) Type of Structure Single family residential $ 35,000 (per $1000 (per unit) coverage) $0.25 $ 10,000 $0.35 All Other residential $100,000 $0.25 $ 10,000 $0.35 All nonresidential* $100,000 $0.40 $100,000 $0.75 ’’‘Includes hotels and motels with normal occupancy of less than . six months. Residents can purchase this coverage from any local property and casualty insurance agent. After the writing of a policy, a 15 day waiting period is required before the insurance becomes effective. The Servicing Company for Virginia is the Insurance Company of North America, 5225 Wisconsin Avenue N. W., Washington D. C. 20007, (202) 244-2000. THE NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE Program, established in 1968 and administered through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), allows citizens in qualified communities to purchase federally subsidized insurance as protection against damages resulting from the general flooding of inland, tidal and coastal waters. On December 31, 1973, President Nixon signed into law the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 which expanded the program and greatly increased the coverage limits available for flood insurance. Now, under the initial, or emergency phase of the program up to $35,000 of insurance coverage may be purchased for single-family residential buildings, and $100,000 for all non-residential structures, including all agricultural, industrial, religious, non-profit and government-owned buildings. The emergency contents coverage limit is $100,000 for businesses and $10,000 for single-family residences and other non-residential structures. Under the Regular Program, these limits are doubled. Included in the new Act is a provision requiring any property owner in a federally-designated flood hazard area to purchase flood insurance in order to receive a loan through any federally affiliated ban, savings and loan institution, or credit union (FDIC, FRS, FSLIC, FHA, VA, etc.). Also, disaster relief will be denied to persons in these areas who have not obtained the insurance. HUD is under a mandate to define all flood hazard areas in the country by the year 1975. To qualify for the emergency phase of the insurance program, each county and incorporated town or city must apply separately. Each community must adopt two resolutions which require minimal flood-proofing and anchoring of new construction in flood hazard areas. Existing structures in these areas are not affected. Once a community’s governing body has passed the resolutions and has provided the Federal Insurance Administrator with administrative data, the community becomes eligible for the sale of flood insurance from their local insurance agents. Rappahannock has taken three steps. The premiums are minimal, due to 90 percent federal subsidization. A COMMUNITY ENTERS THE REGULAR phase of the program after a flood insurance rate study has been carried out by HUD, at which time the coverage limits are all doubled. This usually takes two or three years to complete from the time a community qualifies for the emergency program. When a community enters the regular phase, new residences are required to be constructed so that their first-floor level is above the 100-year flood limits. Industries may still locate in the floodplain, as long as they are flood- proofed up to the 100 year limit. These land use requirements are already required under the existing Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code. Thus, a community does not incur additional restrictions on construction in floodplains by entering the program. Citizens who are interested in obtaining this insurance should express their interest to their local government officials, and to obtain additional information on the program may write to the State Coordinator for Flood Insurance and Flood Plain Studies, State Water Control Board, P. 0. Box 11143, Richmond, 23230. Robinson aide to visit county Rep. J.

Delegate’s report from Richmond By DEL. D. FRENCH SLAUGHTER, JR. THR General Assembly has begun to vote on a large number of bills which ar e being reported to the floor of the House and Senate by the various committees. Also, a large number of bills are still in committee, particularly much of the major legislation which may or may not be acted on favorably by the committees or may be considerably amended during the course of passage through both houses. I have introduced a bill to provide that in the future persons sentenced to the penitentiary for certain crimes of violence - kidnapping, murder, voluntary manslaughter, arson, rape and robbery shall not be eligible for parole until one-half of the sentence has been served. This would be a change from the present law which provides for parole eligibility on all penitentiary sentences after serving one-fourth of the sentence. I believe that this change would be some’ deterrent and appropriate in cases of these serious crimes of violence. Crime is one of the most critical problems and perhaps the most critical domestic problem in the state and the nation today. There must be sufficient punishment for the violent crimes which menace so many of our citizens and the legislature must exert every effort, within the term of Federal court decisions which are binding upon the states, to provide for prompt and effective trials in criminal cases. I am concerned that a number of the anticrime proposals for tougher criminal penalties will not be passed by the General Assembly. Inevitably, there is considerable disagreement as to what laws should be passed with respect to trial procedures and criminal penalties, but I think more stringent laws can be passed without jeopardizing^ the rights of defendants in criminal trials. STATE law now requires voting machines in all precincts throughout the state by October 1. 1976. In past sessions, I have suggested amendments to the law to exempt the smaller voting precincts from this requirement. This year I have introduced a bill which would exempt precincts with less than 750 registered voters. The expense of obtaining voting machines is frequently not justifiable for small precincts and I believe that the localities should have the option of whether or not to provide voting machines at these precincts. Another difficulty is that PARKWAY GIFT SHOP SPECIALS ON GASOLINE Gulf No-Nox 57.9 Gulf Crest 56.9 Good Gulf 54.9 Route 211 West Sperryville Open 7 o.m. until 10 p.m. $he ffinal tribute CEMETERY MEMORIALS CLORi FUNERAL HOME “The Home of Thoughtful Serv ice" PHONE 825-2361 CULUPIR 11 Come to Your Southern States Annual Meeting DATE: TIME: PLACE: THURSDAY,FEBRUARY 19 BUSINESS MEETING at 8:00 P.M.

Also, I have introduced a resolution requesting the Privileges and Elections Committees of the House and Senate to study what changes in the law should be considered in the event of tie votes in an election. Present law provides for. the selection of the winner by lot. There have been suggestions for other arrangements such as a run-off although any procedure that is adopted will have its disadvantages. To change the present law would require numerous changes in many sections of the election law code relating to special, primary and general elections. The study could be complete by the 1977 session. The question of providing additional capital outlay for state colleges, universities, prisons and hospitals and proposed taxes on beer, dividends and coal to finance these outlays is still to be determined and these considerations may not be resolved until the final weeks of the session. Next week I will have another legislative report. PANTHER TALES Little signs that spring is not so far away are becoming evident at R. C. H. S. Track and baseball teams are beginning to get organized again. Many students can be seen jogging around the school grounds, getting in shape for spring sports. Knowing that spring is near always seems to add a little life to everyone; especially our student body after a seemingly long winter stretch in school. Seniors are already preparing for graduation—they sent in orders for announcements and caps and gowns this week. Still, I don’t Blink the impact of the fact that graduation is only four months away has sunken in yet. Mrs. Bomberger’s choir has taken a step up in the world with the acquisition of new risers. They were purchased for the choir by the school—a much welcomed and needed addition, I know. Monday R. C. H. S. students were entertained by a ventriloquist from the Southeast Assembly Company. “Sparky” and“Walter” were quite popular with the audience, but not quite as much as Sandy Hudson and Tom Metzinger, who volunteered to trade places with them for a small segment of the show. A “sharking” experience! The impact of “Jaws” has finally hit Rappahannock County—to be exact, Mr. Toth’s Biology classes. They’!! be disecting a couple of small sharks as a class project soon. You must admit it is more exciting than frogs! Our Eighth Grade Panthers had another game last week, Tuesday, after school with Madison. The final score was 56-43 in Madison’s favor.

The barn as it looked before it was moved Maryland Barn From Page 1 and 150 more were made from seasoned locust wood. Gary Spencer replaced the old rotted beams with hand hewn beams fashioned with hand tools. Once the barn was re-assembled in sections on the ground in Flint Hill, it had to be raised. The original barn raising was done with long poles and plenty of manpower. “We lacked the people and the know-how to do it the oldfashioned way. Someone was liable to be hurt, even killed, if we tried it,” said Chris Bird. ‘‘I decided to make a derrick with our front-end loader and after a few tries it went right up. The four sections were secured and fastened and now await a new roof and siding. □ Bluegrass banjo course Lord Fairfax Community College will offer a non-credit Continuing Education entitled “Bluegrass Banjo,” beginning Monday, March 1, from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. and continuing through May 3.
