Rappahannock News, July 8, 1976

RICHMOND 19, VA. ^amraljattnn ck 9 1976 Volume XXVII, Number 34 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1976 FIFTEEN CENTS No loaded guns allowed in vehicles By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH THE Rappahannock Board of Supervisors took a step towards controlling a hunting abuse problem at the Board’s July meeting, held last Thursday, July 1. County game warden Jim Bankston asked the Supervisors to authorize enforcement of an amendment to the Virginia code making it illegal to carry a loaded rifle or shotgun in a motor vehicle. Bankston said that 90 percent of his time was taken up lasf year trying to control people shooting from roadside rights-ofway, people who were without hunting permission from any of the surrounding landowners. “I see two people... driving around with a loaded shotgun and I can’t do a thing. I know they’re looking for a deer and are going to shoot the first one that they see, but I can’t do anything until I actually see them pull the trigger,” said Bankston. l m au iur u, saiu oupei visux Chairman Pete Luke. “I remember last year...people riding around shooting anything that moves. We need a resolution to enforce this section of the code in Rappahannock.” Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis wasn’t so sure. “Like so many laws passed by the General Assembly, this was a good law—then someone amended it and took the teeth out.” Davis read more of the ordinance to the Board. It stated that the restriction against loaded weapons did not apply to law enforcement officials “nor to any person who reasonably believes that a loaded rifle or shotgun is necessary to his personal safety.” Davis wanted to know who was going to determine “reasonable belief.” BANKSTON suggested that the Supervisors authorize enforcement of the ordinance and then let the courts decide the definition of “reasonable belief” after a violator was cited by Bankston or the Sheriff’s department. “We got enough useless acts on the statute books now. I can’t see adding any more,” responded Davis. “You can keep adding cases to the docket until we need more judges.” Luke read from the ordinance where Davis left off. It continued, “...necessary to his personal safety in the course of his employment or business.” Luke asked rhetorically when a loadedgunwas necessary in a motor vehicle as part of someone’s business. No one answered. Sean Kilpatrick, who was in the audience, told the Board that using guns on public roads and rightsof-way is a problem that has gotten out of hand in rural counties throughout the state. “The warden is powerless unless he actually sees someone pull the trigger. What we need is a law that says no one can carry a loaded firearm on a right-of-way.” Kilpatrick said he wasn’t sure that the state wouldn’t prevent a county from passing a stronger ordinance than the state’s own, but “there comes a time when we must protect the citizens of this county from damn fools.’’ He characterized the General Assembly as “a bunch of lawyers more interested in protecting their busi ness than in protecting citizens.” THE Supervisors voted unanimously to grant Bankston’s request, despite the advice of the Commonwealth’s Attorney, and authorized enforcement of the ordinance in Rappahannock. County. The Supervisors also voted to make the FHA Emergency Loan program available to eligible farmers in Rappahannock. M. L. True told the Board that under this program farmers who suffered substantial apple losses due to the late freeze would be able to borrow money at five to eightand-a-half percent if they are unable to obtain funds from any other See Page 2 A reenactment of the signing of the Declaration of Independence took place during the Bicentennial program Sunday in Washington.

MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 The best hope LAND planning is something like managing a baseball team or editing a newspaper— everybody thinks he knows how to do it better than the person actually doing it. At least, the noise generated at public hearings for this or that development, re-zoning or planning guide indicate that this is a strongly held belief, shared by many people. A good example is currently being provided by our neighbor, Fauquier County (and it is always good for us to keep our eyes on what’s going on with our neighbors; many of the problems they’re grappling with today could be our problems of tomorrow, and how they deal with these problems could provide us with valuable clues for avoiding damaging mistakes). Fauquier’i planning staff has presented some innovative proposals for revising their county’s master plan, a document whose reputation has, frankly, exceded its content but which, nevertheless, has served as something of a rallying point for many efforts to save this beautiful rural area from the more blatant excesses of urban expansion which have ruined so many acres just to the East of Fauquier. Actually, the battle for rural Fauquier may already be lost. The number of building permits being issued, the number of lots being recorded, the number of subdivisions being proposed add up to an immediate future promising a rather radically altered Fauquier landscape. And that prime enemy of rural preservation efforts—a commuter-oriented 1-66, studded with growth-provoking interchanges—continues to march toward the inevitable day when the floodgates will be opened, and that particular superhighway will be the sluice which channels in the quick-buckartists who will quickly if not efficiently alter Fauquier’s pleasant countenance for all time. FAUQUIER’S planning staff has concocted some elaborate proposals which they say could help arrest, channel or direct the coming floodtide of development. They propose such things as “clustering,” to help preserve open space; a trading off of “development rights,” and encouraging growth by building sewer systems in specific locations. None of these things have worked very well in other locations which have tried them, and, the expectations of success in Fauquier aren’t all that sanguine, either. Which leads us to our point; No plan, no matter how elaborate or up-to-date, is a substitute for the best approach to preserving the rural Piedmont Virginia so many of us love—and that is to elect good, solid conservative conservationists to office, and then support them in their brave efforts to prevent destruction. That’s been the case in Loudoun; it’s the case in Clarke; for a short time it was even the case in Fairfax, which has precious little left to save. And, so far, it’s been the case in Rappahannock. The Piedmont’s best hope continues to lie in the wisdom of the men elected to guide the area’s destiny, enact its rules and regulations, and demonstrate a deep appreciation of this beautiful Piedmont’s true values and resources. FIRE, RESCUE SQUAD NOTES July 3 Washington Rescue Squad responded to an accident on Route 647 but service was not needed. The second of July this unit was called to a traffic collision on Route 211 west of Amissville and Everett Smith and Rufus Baines were taken to Fauquier Hospital, Warrenton. Amissville Fire Company responded to a structural fire at the E.C. Estes residence on Route 729 June 30. The 2nd of July this unit responded to a traffic collision on Route 211 and the following day it was called to a structural fire on Route 643. July 4, this fire equipment went to an auto accident at Routes 639 and 211. Amissville Rescue Squad responded to a sick call at the home of Norvel James on June 29 and to an auto accident July 2 on Route 211 west.D No loaded guns From Page 1 source. True said the purpose of the program, is to help the farmer who is put in a marginal situation by a natural disaster and might otherwise be forced out of business. Garbage and dumpsters are still a county problem. Recreation Association president Granville Eastham informed the Board that the Association had decided it wanted the dumpsters moved off the Recreation Center’s property. Luke said that finding another location for the dumpster in Washington was a problem. “It should be up to the community, rather than Luke, to find a place for the dumpster in town, ” said Supervisor H.B. Wood. “This is a community service and we can’t even find a place to put it.” “IT REALLY is disgusting the way the public abuses the dumpsters. There’s absolutely no rhyme or reason to it, commented George Davis. Wood added that last month it had cost the county $220 to have trash picked up off the ground around the dumpsters and last month’s bill, according to Wood, was considerably less than usual. LiUKe saia mai ne is worKing with the volunteer fire departments in Washington and elsewhere in locating the dumpsters on their property. Davis suggested that the firemen be paid to supervise and police the sites. Wood added that one dumpster is already located at the Castleton Fire Department and that the county has never had to pay clean-up charges at that location. “The Fire Company keeps it neat as a pin.” Luke agreed to draw up an appropriate ordinance allowing the sale of wine on Sunday, for action at the next Supervisors’ meeting. The Board also voted unahimously to name Mary Quaintance to the Lord Fairfax Community College Board and to exempt the fire and rescue squads from utility tax payments. □ Cake Contest Mrs. Isobel Hobson of Luray received first prize in the cake decorating contest which was held Sunday in conjunction with the Fourth of July celebration at Washington. Hers was a Betsy Ross doll cake. Second place went to Mrs. Ginny Pierson of Amissville with a 1976 sheet cake decorated in red, white and blue, of course. Wayne Miller of Derby, Conn., a houseguest of Capt. and Mrs. Howard Holschuh of Traffic deaths down slightly Virginia’s traffic deaths for the first six months of the year stood at 456, or ten less than for the same period of 1975, says Colonel H. W. Burgess, Superintendent of State Police. At the same time Colonel Burgess noted that late reports and deaths of persons now carried as injured are certain to make the reduction even slimmer. “There have been five occasions when we have achieved three consecutive years of traffic death reduction and 1973, 1974 and 1975 formed the latest. We have never seen four consecutive ones but in spite of our narrow margin we still have a good chance this year,” he said. Pedestrian deaths were up from 65 to 78, deaths of servicemen from 15 to 16 and deaths of motorcyclists from 20 to 24. Deaths of bicyclists dropped from five to four. Traffic volumes were 9.1 percent above those for the first half of 1975. Castleton, took third place with his bald eagle cake. Two honorable mentions included Mrs. Geraldine Chaffee of Washington with her liberty bell cake and Sharon Miller, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Miller of Derby, who had a log cabin cake.

Pullen and our Father, who departed this life 2 years ago July 12, 1974. No pen can write, no tongue can tell, our sad and bitter loss; But God alone has helped so well, to bear the heavy cross. And though we can not see you from whom we had to part, Your memory is like a melody still lives within our hearts. A precious one from us has gone, a voice we loved is stilled; A place is vacant in our home which never can be filled. God in his wisdom has recalled the bloom his love has given, And though the body slumbers on, the soul is safe is Heaven. God watch you from His Throne up there, He saw the road was getting rough and knew you had your share, He closed your weary eyes and took you in His care. The days are so long since you have been gone, The nights much darker too, I wander around much of the time. Just thinking, dear of you. I think of you in silence, no eyes can see me weep; But many silent tears are shed while others are asleep. To your grave we always wander, Flowers we place with care, No one knows the heartbreak, When we turn and leave you there. Gone but not forgotten. By his wife, children and grandchildren This chorus under the direction of Col. Nets Parson of Washington presented a number of appropriate patriotic selections during the Independence Day celebration in Rappahannock. The performance was excellent and brought tears to the eyes of many of the staunch Virginians present.

Kenneth Robinson said in Warrenton on Saturday, June 19, that it is “most important that Congress move vigorously to cleanse itself of stain, wherever stain appears.” This is necessary, the 7th District Representative said, “in order that anger and cynicism directed toward Washington not result in a disintegration of confidence in the ability of the American representative system of government to serve the people better than any other system.” me aiiuuiu mane a.11 cuui i separate what is important to the integrity and effective functioning of the representative system from private monkey business, however distasteful when exposed to public view, which does not impinge directly on the proper conduct of the public business,” Robinson stated, adding: ‘‘When private peccadillos come blatantly to public notice, however, the institutions with which the offenders are associated become tainted with the smear of the mischief. I don’t mind stating that I resent being placed in a defensive position, as a member of Congress, because a few of the 535 members appear to have abandoned some basic moral values, and even to have abused their public trust in the matter of their custodianship of the public purse.” SPEAKING at a luncheon meeting of the Fauquier County Republican Women’s Club, Robinson commented: “It is not for me to take an oath today that all members of our party are pure. I do think it fair and proper and necessary, however, to point out that the opportunities for misuses of public funds within the Congress have been enhanced by procudures placed into effect by the Democratic majority—and that these procedures have been opposed unsuccessfully by the majority of Republicans serving in Congress.” Robinson explained that he was referring particularly to a system, which he had joined in seeking to overturn, whereby various allowances for House members could be adjusted by the House Administration Committee, headed by Rep. Wayne Hays (D) of Ohio, without their being voted on by the House as a whole.
