RICHMOND • 9A VOLUME XXVII, NUMBER 30 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, JUNE 10, 1976_ FIFTEEN CENTS Amid grumbling, tax rate set 50-cent increase brings rate to $4.40 per $100^ By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH “WE SHOULD think about other ways to raise taxes than property and real estate,” said Supervisor H. B. Wood. The rest of the Rappahannock Supervisors agreed with Wood’s suggestion, but no one came up with any answers at last Thursday’s Board meeting. The draft budget advertised for fiscal 1977 will require a 50 cent tax increase, bringing the tax rate up to $4.40, levied on $100 of assessed value. County accountant Walter Cox said final budget revision would wait for work from the State Compensation Board on salaries for county constitutional offices. “Some cuts in departmental requests were made even before the first draft,” said Cox. The budget was further cut by the Supervisors from Original appropriations requests that would have required a $4.70 tax rate. The Supervisors looked everywhere for another solution to increased money needs besides a property tax increase. If adopted, following the June 24 public hearing in the Courthouse, this year’s budget will require $101,702 more than last year’s. Cox explained that the most feasible sources of revenue outside of real estate taxes were motor vehicle tags and utility taxes. “Five dollars on motor vehicle tags will trade off ten cents on property,” claimed Cox. He stated that each ten cents on the tax rate yields $1300 in revenue for the county. COMMONWEALTH’S Attorney ^ ,George Davis mentioned the possibility of licensing certain businesses. Supervisor Chairman Pete Luke suggested contractors. Supervisor Butch Eastham wanted to know if the cost of building permits could be raised. Cox 'Hr replied that this fee was only intended to cover costs of the zoning office, not serve as a revenue source. “You could triple it and still not cover the costs of the zoning office,” interjected Davis. “Can you put a tax with a different rate on vacation property?” asked Eastham. Luke was interested in the possibility of a land sales tax. “We need to have some additional source of revenue,” said Luke, who told the other Board members that failure of the Revenue Sharing Bill to pass Congress would mean a tax hike to $5 if Rappahannock continued to provide the same services. LUKE also reminded the Supervisors that Rappahannock was due to start the land value reassesment that must be done by the tax year 1978. Counties with populations under 15,000 must conduct a reassesment every four years now, instead of every six years. Luke estimated it would cost $18,000 to get that done. These were all factors beyond the control of individuals, but “The public can damn well do something about trash collection,” said Luke. He said last month’s dumpster bill was $3,031.25. “Some people seem to feel to hell with it—we’ll put anything in it,” said Luke, criticizing the disposal of burnables, particularly large, empty cardboard boxes in the dumpsters. DAVIS reminded Luke of existing laws prohibiting open fire burning. “Without putting burnables in dumpsters, we’d have litter all over the county,” said Davis. “We need to change the laws on home burning, then, or this thing’s gonna go out of sight!” responded Luke. Supervisor J. R. Latham maintained that the only way to stop people from dumping trash along side of the dumpsters and on the ground—a major reason for increased collection costs—would be to increase tnepenajiuggxurauu&e.

The underdog Panthers hit the ball well but, unfortunately, to opposing players. Ground balls missed the holes by inches and line drives missed the alleys by the same margin. “We were beaten by a fine, well coached team,” said Rappahannock coach Preston Douglas. “Stuarts Draft lost in the semifinals last year. This year they returned most of the same team. ITiey had tournament experience and it showed.” In the semifinal game against Rappahannock of Warsaw, the Panthers played errorless ball. In Friday night’s final game, two back to back throwing errors in the second inning with two outs allowed the first run to score for Stuarts Draft. Stuarts Draft loaded the bases on two singles and a walk in the fourth with no outs when starting pitcher Mike Smoot was relieved by Mike Tupper. Tupper struck out the first two batters but Dale Burford hit the game-winning single up the middle—for the Cougars. IN THE bottom of the fourth, Mike Smoot scored Rappahannock’s only run when he blasted a homer, his seventh of the season, over the left field fence. Down 3-1, the Panthers staged a rally in the bottom of the seventh but it fell short. Smoot led off with a hard grounder that went right to the shortstop for the first out. Steve Payne, the next batter, found the hole between shortstop and third base with another hard grounder. Cecil Smoot advanced to second when his single up the middle was bobbled by the one centerfielder while pinchrunner William Carter took third. Cougar pitcher Dale Burford struck out Mike Tupper. With two outs and the tying run on second, catcher Perry Breeden approached the plate. Breeden saved a game for the Panthers earlier in the season with a dramatic last inning home run but not this time. Breeden hit a line drive to third baseman Chris Cohron who hung onto the ball and won the game for Stuarts Draft. If the ball had been hit a few inches to either the left or the right, the game would have been tied. If Breeden had been able to get under the ball a little more, he would have slammed a homer and Rappahannock would have been state champion. MIKE SMOOT was charged with the loss for Rappahannock.

MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Tax pressures EVERYONE agrees with the sentiment expressed by Supervisor H. B. Wood: Some way has to be found to finance local government, without placing the entire burden on real estate and property. Especially is this important in a county like Rappahannock, where agriculture is still a viable activity. When the entire tax burden is on real estate and property, it is pressing down on a major source of the people’s livelihood, and something has got to give. Unfortunately, what gives all too often is farming, agriculture. The farmer, the orchardist, the herdsman simply can’t meet the pressures any more, and he sells out to someone who is not interested in farming, apples and peaches or sheep and cattle. If we’re lucky, the new owner wants to preserve the open space and take care of his land. If we’re not, it’s chopped up into small parcels and another corner of Rappahannock is transformed into something that is not Rappahannock. If the process is repeated often enough, then we’ll wind up with a mountainous Prince William, a hilly Fairfax. A LOT of the trouble stems from Richmond, which won’t give localities sufficient flexibility in raising taxes, and which continues to mandate expensive programs and then not provide funds to implement these programs. Kindergartens, vocational schools, expanded welfare programs all cost money, and if the state won’t give financial help, it should at least grant the counties and towns more latitude in raising needed funds. Rappahannock hasn’t exhausted all of the options, yet. An automobile tag tax is probably inevitable, and so is a utility tax. And the Supervisors must also be encouraged to continue their frugal ways. Some people grumble about the board’s tight-fisted grip on the county purse strings, but frankly, we like their attitude. Anything that slows down the tendency toward ever larger bureaucracy at local, regional, state and federal levels will help ease the tax pressure in the most meaningful way possible.□ i _ 302P0 _= Now at substantial price savings, the 302PD has rapidly become a popular favorite with buyers who want the best of the desktop calculator world— clearly visible display and a The Silver Medalist 305 is a sure winner for high sales volume and profits too.

(2) The operator of the farm must expect to obtain more than 50% of his current year income from farming. A wheat allotment does not res tnct the number of acres that may be planted to wheat.

Flint Hill winery is taking orders By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH THE RANEY family has come a long way from ten grape vines in their New York backyard to Farfelu Vineyard in Flint Hill, Va. Some of those first ten vines are still around but they’ve been transplanted around the house—for sentimental reasons, not wine grape production. On the acres surrounding the house, in row after row, are the “working” vines that will supply the raw material for Charles Raney’s estimated 6,000-plus bottles he plans for this season. Contrary to reports printed elsewhere, Farfelu is a first. “As far as we know, we were the first winery to be licensed in Virginia since Thomas Jefferson,” said Charles. Farfelu’s license, number 23, was issued on August 20, 1975. “We planted our first vineyard with the intent of being commercial,” he said, adding that the timing of his operation was coincidental with other local efforts— coincidental but slightly ahead. Farfelu’s beginning as a winery was delayed by the Raney’s relying on experimentation rather than advice from successful vineyardists in other areas. “We had some advice but we basically made all our own decisions,” said Charles. FARFELU is primarily a family operation. Lou Raney and the children have all put in long hours with the vines. “We’ve done almost all the work,” maintained Charles. “We used a little sucker, trellis and picking labor but that’s about it. Our oldest son Mike stayed out a year between high school and college. He did all the pruning last year.” The Raney’s oldest daughter, Mauri Payne studied horticulture with emphasis on grafting techniques at VPI. Although married and no longer living at home, she still spends hours atFarfelu adding her knowledge to her father’s hardearned expertise. “We toured the vineyards in San Fran and Charles got the bug,” said Lou of the start of the Raney interest in a winery. Charles thought it began long before, dur£ m -wii n. Lou Raney is quick to point out that the family vineyard operation in Flint Hill is not named after her. Lou’s French expert, her daughter Mauri, explained that Farfelu means “outlandish” or “bizarre.” Charles and Lou Raney with their daughter Mauri are part of Farfelu vineyard’s family work force. The Raneys have used very little „ outside labor in the planting, picking and spraying work that went into the establishment of Farfelu. They converted an old barn into a winery and package store and, in their spare time, built their home on top of the hill overlooking the vineyards. ing his Navy career when he was stationed in the Mediterranean, “although I did nothing concrete then except taste!’’ The Raneys had an advantage over other beginners in that they didn’t immediately have to earn their livelihood from the vineyard and winery. Since Charles kept his job as an airline pilot, they were able to ease into the money making end of the business. Farfelu now has 12 acres in grapes. Charles estimated that total financial reliance on the operation as a source of income would require approximately 30 acres of grapes. The Raneys plan to move towards this goal gradually without overextending themselves. THE growing of high quality wine grapes in Virginia is still in experimental stages. Due to the climate here, the vines are susceptable to several fungus diseases, noted Raney. The dry spell in May didn’t bother the Raneys at all. “I’d be tickled pink if we had no rain from June to September,” said Charles. He follows a fungus prevention program that requires regular spraying with Sevin. According to Charles, new growth and rain are the determing factors in spraying frequency. “Sometimes you have to be out there spraying while the rain is still coming down.” THE GRAPES are picked in Vinifera grape vines grafted onto native stock stretch out in rows at Flint Hill’s Farfelu Vineyards. A family enterprise, directed by Charles and Lou Raney, Farfelu’s short history has been experimentation by trial and error as Charles has worked to find a fine wine grape that would thrive despite Virginia’s wet summer weather.' early September. “I can always remember the date,” said Lou, ‘‘because Mauri’s wedding was September 7. I made her dress and we had the reception here. After it was all over, I was exhausted and we had to start picking on the 8th!” The winery itself is in a beautiful old barn down the hill from the Raneys’ house. (“We built the house ourselves,” said Lou. The Raneys worked on it for five years. “Something had to go one year,” she continued, “and it was the grapes. But they recovered.”) Next to the winery is tfcepackage store, the outlet for the Raney’s fine red and white wines. Farfelu recently announced its first vintage, a small bottling of Seyval Blanc, a dry white wine. Orders are now being taken for pickup after June 15. Both Charles and Lou emphasized that the work at Farfelu vineyards is still in experimental stages. Growing wine grapes and making fine wines is not an exact science but a trial and error ope ration, particularly with Virginia’s wet and soggy summers. The Raneys feel they have made a good beginning. □ An antique hand wine press sits in front of the newest piece of equipment at Flint Hill’s Farfelu vineyards—a six-at-a-time, nonelectric bottle filler. Lou and Charles Raney’s daughter, Mauri Payne, studied horticulture at VPI. She has put her knowledge of grafting techniques to good use at the family’s vineyard and winery in Flint Hill. Here she prepares vinifera vines, grafted onto native stock to increase disease resistance, for planting. Charles Raney inspects the equipment housed in his winery, an old converted barn with stone walls and newly poured concrete floors. Grapes are sent down a chute through the ceiling into the crusher. From there the juice is pumped into tanks where it is filtered and aged before bottling. Farfelu Vineyards, the first winery to be licensed in Virginia since Thomas Jefferson, is now taking orders for wine to be picked up after June 15. lr Mnine A TViii**C/loV Tuna 1 A 107C

The volunteer service mission of the SVRS is to help you, your loved ones, your friends, and visitors when an emergency arises. The 200th Anniversary of our Nation coincides with the vital need for a new Rescue ambulance. It is our responsibility to insure that our personnel and equipment will safely accomplish our mission. Simply put-in order to help you-we need your help. The financial requirement for a new ambulance is substantial. The 23 members of the SVRS who provide rescue service throughout the year for you and your Community are now asking you to volunteer you financial assistance. Your support will enable us to continue serving you. As a resident of the Community served by the SVRS you expect and deserve the best rescue and ambulance service a volunteer organization can provide. The members of the SVRS are dedicated to providing you with this service. Friends and visitors who become ill or involved in accidents also deserve the best emergency treatment. The State ana tne puDixc are insisting on more lhoi ougiujf trained personnel and more up-to-date-equipment. This l requires funds from the people in our service area-since the [ County does not fund rescue services in Rappahannock. [ Recall for a few moments the familiar view of your Rescue Squad in action. Will you have cause to be con- r cerned??

The Supervisors also unanimously voted to approve the Planning Commission’s request for information from the Zoning Office each month on building permits issued or denied, and land use and land division requests approved or denied. Luke maintained that this was not any kind of watchdog function. “We want an update on how things are going—who’s doing what and where is it happening.” THE Supervisors voted to leave Scrabble School with its clouded title exactly as is, following a request from the pastor of the Five Forks Baptist'Church to use the building for services. The School Board used the property as a school until 1968 but, according to Superintendent Norton, never had a deed for the property. The property is currently used as a site for county dumpsters.□ RLEP speakers The youngest person ever to hike the entire length of the Appalachian Trail in one continuous season will tell of his experiences at 8 p.m. on Friday, June 11 at a meeting sponsored by the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection at the Episcopal Church parish hall in Washington. ^PARK THEATRE Ve.
