) ^IRGtNJA VA. STATE LIBRARY RXCSMOHe 19, VA. APR jg Volume XXVII, Number 20 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, APRIL 1, 1976 FIFTEEN CENTS Space committee hears complaints By DAPHNE MCCULLOUGH TALES of cramped and crowded office conditions dominated Monday night’s meeting of the new Rappahannock Ad Hoc Space Study Committee. The committee was appointed by the Board of Supervisors to study solutions to the space problems in the Rappahannock Court House, recently brought to a head by the request of the Court for two additional rooms. Other county offices are also under study as to their space requirements and the necessity of having the offices in the Court House or in Washington. Under Virginia law, a county Board of Supervisors is responsible for providing sufficient space for the conduct of the courts. “Hie Court Houses in Virginia were built for the "court system. It’s the judge’s domain, so to speak,” said Supervisor Pete Luke. The situation at the Health Department received the most attention from the committee. Fanning Baumgardner described the 415-square-foot, two-room office as “completely inadequate; there’s no dressing room, no place to go (to undress for an examination) but in the kitchen.” “There’s no privacy between agencies,” said Committee Chairman T. Granville Eastham. County Sanitarian Jack Lockhardt and a clerk have offices in the same room as Health Department nurse Frances Thornton and District Health officer Dr. R. S. LeGarde. Baumgardner added that the existing situation could result in seeing a “V.D. case” and an applicant for a septic tank permit in the same room at the same time. According to Pete Luke, Dr. LeGarde is unable to give the service that he’s capable of giving because the office is too public. “People don’t confide. There’s no privacy,” said Luke. LUKE went on to describe the situation in Commissioner of the Revenue Virginia Smith’s office. “If you want to talk to Virginia privately about tax problems you’d have to lock the door behind you. Real estate people are always coming:in to look at tax records.” Also, real estate people checking Planners visit proposed subdivision THE Rappahannock Planning Commissioners made an on-site inspection Friday, March 26, of the Lindgren Subdivision in Hampton district to see if the new soil erosion and sedimentation control ordinance will apply to this seven^ loy development. At a short Planning Commission meeting held Wednesday evening, March 24, Walter Master son reported that zoning administrator Col. Evan McNear had recommended that the Planning Commission visit the site on Route 622, and told Master son that the Commission would receive additional information on the proposed road and slope of the land from the surveyor before the on-site inspection. “Will we be severely handicapped if we don’t have those surveyor’s figures before we go down there?” asked Chairman Herbert Barksdale. Masterson replied that the Commission members could consider the figures when they returned. “We can judge for ourselves if the slope is over 14% and then check the surveyor’s figures.” Erosion control laws disallow construction if the slope of the land is 14% or more. No_action was taken by the Planning Commission following Friday’s on-site inspection. Barksdale reported that the commission members had not had the time to discuss the subdivision after their visit. A decision will be made at the next meeting which is scheduled for Thursday evening (April 1), said Barksdale. FANNING BAUMGARDNER submitted a report to the Planning Commission on a proposed solid See Page 4 out deeds in the Clerk’s office added to the space problem there, according to Luke. The deed records are kept in large books and one opened deed book will take up most of the available room he said adding that there are often several deed searches going on simultaneously. ’‘When court is in session,’’continued Luke, “clients must meet outside, in cars, in the bathroom of the Clerk’s office to talk to their lawyers. In bad weather, the hallway downstairs is just chock full of people.” Walter Masterson replied to a question from Luke, regarding School Board office space, that while office space is satisfactory, more room is required for records that date back to 1918. The records are now stored in Warren County at a cost to Rappahannock of $50 a month. Luke suggested that the committee members visit all county offices to ascertain exactly the space needs of each. When difficulties were encountered in scheduling a date agreeable to all ten committee members, Chairman Eastham suggested that a questionnaire be sent to the offices instead. Baumgardner agreed. “The information would be there on record if a new building is decided upon,” he said. “These people are public officials and what they want should be on record,” commented Masterson. See Pace 2 Trout season starts Saturday NOON SATURDAY, APRIL 3, marks the beginning of trout season in Rappahannock and Madison Counties. The season in both counties will remain open, through May 9, and reopen one hour before sunrise, Saturday, May 15. The streams have all been stocked with Rappahannock and Madison having a combined total over 13,000 fish scattered about the Piney, Garth Run, Hughes, Robinson and Rose rivers.Sportsmen should be thoroughly acquainted with the fishing regulations to avoid a possible violation of the law. Spring Gobbler season opens Saturday April 17 and extends through May 15. The legal hunting hours are from one half hour before sunrise to 11 a.m. each day. The bag limit is (me bearded bird per day with a season limit of two birds. The overlapping of trout and spring gobbler seasons could present a problem for the outdoorsmen, but why not compromise and spend mornings hunting and evenings fishing. There can’t be a more delightful way to spend a spring day.—Jim Bankston The refuse collection service in Rappahannock County is sorely abused by many and in turn results in costly maintenance and operation of the service. Last Thursday's examination of the site revealed rotten potatoes and apples in paper sacks on the ground, lumber and plywood, a door from a dwelling, paper of every iHnri and description blowing everywhere. It is hard to believe that residents in an area as rural as Rappahannock cannot find a place at home to dispose of decaying fruit and vegetables and many of the other items, including paper, which are continually seen at the dumpsters.

Entered as Second Class Mail at the Post Office in Washington, Virginia. Subscriptions (in advance) $4 in Rappahannock and adjacent counties; $S in Postal Zones 5 thru S. MRS. SARAH C LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 676-3349 Public participation ACTIVITIES in neighboring counties—on both sides of Rappahannock—have inspired some thoughts about how the public’s business should be conducted. In Madison, the entire membership of the School Board resigned, and one reported reason was their objection to a proposed change in the method of selecting School Board members. According to printed reports, they did not like the idea of elected Supervisors selecting School Board members. In Fauquier, the planning commission is currently undertaking a revision of that county’s master plan. In the process, the commissioners have invited participation by the public, setting up a series of preliminary and secondary meetings to go over possible plan changes, with ample opportunity given for hearing from individuals. NOW, AS TO the Madison situation. Why shouldn’t School Board members be close to the public? Why, indeed, shouldn’t they be elected, instead of appointed? After all, they are responsible for spending the greatest number of taxpayers’ dollars. Virginia, it has been said, is the only state remaining in the Union which does not allow direct election of school boards, even as a local option. To our mind, this is deplorable. And as to arguments that school affairs should be “kept out of politics,” we would reply that it is far better to keep the politicking out in the open instead of pretending - it doesn’t exist. BUT WE’LL ADMIT that the argument about promoting morel public participation in public affairs suffers when the situation with Fauquier’s master plan is examined. Despite the planning commissioners commendable concern for public “input,” not many members of the public are taking them up on the offer. At the latest session, there were more public officials present than there were citizens. This is deplorable, but we still maintain that the correct conclusion is not to call off these public meetings because not many people are showing up. The correct response is to continue to do everything possible to inspire more interest on the part of voters and taxpayers in the affairs of their government. It is the “father knows best” attitude of far too many officials in Virginia—including some insulated School Board members—that “turns off” many citizens, we suspect. If they really believe that they can have a meaningful participation in public decisions, then a lot of so-called public apathy would disappear.□ Campgrounds open Effective April 2, the Matthews Arm and Loft Mountain Campgrounds in Shenandoah National Park will reopen for the summer season. The Big Meadows Campground, part of which is open year round, will be in full operation. Dundo Organized Youth Campground will also open April 2. Except at Dundo Organized Youth Campground, reservations will not be accepted. Camping will be on a first-come, first-served basis. The camping fee will be $3 per site per night. Reservations are accepted for Dundo Organized Youth Campground by writing to the Superintendent, Shenandoah National Park, Luray, 22835. The fee at Dundo is $5 per site per night. Springtime camping can be more relaxed as crowds are still sparse. Temperatures can still be cool for the next month or so, but spring flowers and the greening of the forest help make it an enjoyable time to visit. □ Close-Up The stapler pictured last week proved a bit more difficult for readers who enjoy the closeups.

Letters to the editor Ed Harris praised Editor: In last week’s News was a letter from Phil Irwin making the valuable point that RLEP was neither defunct nor beaten. And it mentions the devotion of Ed Harris to his work and the weal of the county. To that letter I should like to add a strongly felt observation. Ed Harris, most unfortunately, is no longer with us in body, but to think that a man is finished, who, dying painfully, could, a few days before his death, reaffirm for the last time his dedication to the struggle to protect Rappahannock County by donating a paid advertisement in the recent Hunt Pointto-point program, would be sad and dangerous for this county. Ed was a nationally recognized master craftsman in journalism, a iifework to which he gave body and soul. But more than skilled he was deeply concerned and valiant, and when he saw the threats that were massing against Rappahannock’s rare offerings, he entered the lists immediately. He has learned that good things have continuously to be defended against the spoilers. So, knowing his pen would no longer serve the county he loved and admired, he bought the advertisement on page 78. With the humor and the highly developed sense of capturing situations in words which characterized him, Ed paid for space to say one word, “Tallyho!” What vision andcourage leap from that word. He had seen the fox and he hoped others would. To forget or ignore that act of unconquerable heroism could be a disaster for Rappahannock.— Waldron O’Connor Space committee , From Pace 1 COMMITTEE members agreed that the following questions, to be put in final form by Fanning Baumgardner, would be included in the questionnaire. 1. What are your current space requirements? 2. What are your estimated space requirements in ten years? 3. What are your current and future record keeping plans? 4. Could you work better if you were combined with another office with a common function? 5. Where is your preferred location? Is it important that you be in Washington? 6. Do you consider your current rent excessive? 7. Do you foresee any increases in your operating costs? 8. What is the status of your current lease? Do you consider your location relatively permanent? 9. What percentage of your rent is paid by the county and what percentage is from other sources? 10. What is the number of occupants of your office, average number of visitors? How much equipment is in your office? 11. Do you know of any available office space that will fit your requirements? 12. What are your parking needs? 13. What is your condition regarding water and sewer? Baumgardner said he would have the questionnaires completed and in the mail by Thursday. The committee decided to give the offices a deadline of a week to respond with the answers due on April 8. A tentative date of April 12 was set for April 12 at which time the committee will discuss the replies.□ REVIVAL SERVICES The Rev. and Mrs. Paul Stanley of Martinsburg, W. Va. will be conducting evangelistic services nightly, except Monday, at 7:30 p.m. April 4 through 11 at the Sperryville Assembly of God Church. An invitation is extended to the public.□

New race course to open Saturday By JUNE RUHSAM OLD Dominion Hunt’s point-topoint races Saturday over its beautiful new Ben Venue course promise plenty of excitement, with 72 good entries and with competition for the five annual awards being particularly keen in this second to last race meeting of the circuit. Only one point separates the leaders, Mike duPont and Randy Rouse, in the owner-rider timber series for the Seven Corners trophy. However, a win on Saturday for Roy Graham or David Semmes could put one of them close to the top. Arch Kingsley, presently leading the race for gentleman riderof-the-year, has horses entered in both owner-rider races. Padtty Neilson, three points behind, is named on two horses, and Mike duPont, next in line, is also expected to ride two. Joan Liebel and Manco Capac n (left) and, Patricia Cassell on Never Delay were close for most of the distance in the ladies timber race at the Piedmont Point-to-Point. Manco Capac n came in first. Never Delay was third, despite a fall at the last fence; Pat remounted to cross the finish line. (Ray Dilley photo) Post time for the first of six races, the maiden hurdle, is 1:30 Twenty horses are entered, including the hunt meet placed Mede Cahaba Stables’s Completed, and Augustin Stables’s Satiric. Offering them competition are the good local hurdlers, Bill Walsh’s Task Order and Jim Magee’s Dorocco Kid. The open timber race has drawn 14 entries, with three of them having won races this spring—George Ohrstrom’s Manco Capac II, Charles OVvens’s Jay’S Trouble, and Mrs. Helen Polinger’s Idol Traffic arrests show big increase State Police arrests for speeding during 1975 numbered 220,284, to far exceed the 159,642 of 1974 and the 101,595 of 1973, says Colonel H.W. Burgess, Superintendent of the Department. Colonel Burgess noted that the arrests were for all types of speed violations but that about 96 percent of them were for violations of the 55 mile per hour limit. Speeding arrests of drivers of commercial vehicles numbered 32,094 for the year. The new mobile radar which, mounted on a police car, can give the speed of an oncoming car, was a large factor in the overall detection of speeders, he said, and added that the stationary types are also in use. Virginia traffic deaths for 1975 numbered 1,030, or 20 less than those of 1974 to give the State its third consecutive annual reduction. Traffic volumes for 1975 were 1.4 percent above those of 1974.□ Fellow. Other local entries include Mike duPont’s Estremadura and Robert Green’s Charlie-BeGood. IN THE owner-rider hurdle race which follows, Charles Owens’s High Peak and Arch Kingsley’s Bull Run Draft, only a point ajiart in the First Colony competition, have a chance to catch up with Kevin Palmer’s Kool Kake. Adding spice to the rape will be George Strawbridge on his good War Path II. Ten have entered the open hurdle race with three recent winners among them—Mrs. Robert V. Clark, Jr.’s Fool’s Taxes, Mrs. Helen Polinger’s Champerty, and Brandywine Stables’ Conserje. Fifth on the card, the ownerrider timber race, should be a close one with the four leading contenders for the annual award entered, as well as Arch Kingsley on his Artist’s Haven.

Chairman Barksdale suggested that “Fanning’s masterpiece” be put on file. “I’m under the impression we’ve gone about as far as we can go,” said Barksdale. “It’s up to the Supervisors now. We don’t know yet that the agreement with Orange can’t be renewed.” If the Orange contract is not renewable, Rappahannock will have to operate its own county landfill. At their February 18 meeting, the Planning Commissioners went into executive session to hear proposals from three companies regarding the establishment of a landfill.

Corn's need for nitrogen is sizeable. Most soils have enough nitrogen to produce about 70 bushels of com per acre. For yields over 70 bushels, you must rely on nitrogen from fertilizer. For example: a Yield goal 70 to 120 bu. 121 to 200 bu. Extra nitrogen required 2.5 lbs. N for each bu. over 70 3.0 lbs. N for each bu. over 70 Subtract carry-over nitrogen, nitrogen in manure or nitrogen from legumes preceding crop. Nitrogen stretches water. Nitrogen helps to produce more bushels of com per inch of rainfal. In university tests com with no nitrogen yielded 4.9 bushels of com per inch of water.

Just a portion of phosphorus can be taken up by the first crop following application ... only 2056 to 3356 in most soils. So, where your soil is low in phosphorus you should apply higher rates than the removal shown above. Application of three times the actual removal may be necessary to reach your desired yield goal. Potash. Potassium, an essential nutrient for efficient com production, imparts vigor and disease tolerance to com plants. It helps produce strong, stiff stalks. Your yield goal and the potassium level of your soil are key factors in determining how much potash to apply. Here’s a guide: good fertilizer practices are most favorable.

Cooper, Field Representative in Rappahannock County. Social security pays monthly benefits to eligible workers and their families if the worker is severely disabled and cannot work for a year or more. Payment begins with the sixth full month of disability,. but. it isn’t necessary, to wait that long to apply. “Back payments can only be made for up to 12 months,” Cooper said. “So disabled workers shouldn’t delay their application, even if they’re not sure they’ll qualify for payments. About one of every 12 workers getting social security disability payments misses out on some payments because he applied too late.” Disabled workers who haven’t applied for benefits should call any social security office as soon as possible, according to Cooper. “Or they can ask a friend or relative to make the call,” he said. SOCIAL security disability benefits are paid to more than 2.3 million disabled workers and over 1.7 million dependents. The average payment is $224 a month. Disabled people who have been entitled to social security disability benefits for 24 consecutive months or more are eligible for Medicare health insurance. The Washington office is open the second Wednesday of each month at 10 in the Court House.

One hundred and twenty - six farms requested cost-share assistance totaling an estimated $120,000. The allocation for Rappahannock County is $20,018, which is only 16% of the total amount requested. With such a small allocation, the County Committee has a very difficult job of determining how the funds will be approved. The soil testing lab at VPI & SU has received a record number of soil samples, therefore analysis reports are slow in returning. The County Committee cannot approve practices that require a soil test until the results of the soil test are known □ HOUNDS WIN Clifton Clark of Woodville attended the West Hanover Foxhunters Association Night Trials Thursday and Friday at Montpelier.
