Rappahannock News, September 9, 1976

S!32l<) Volume XXVII, Number 16 SEP 13 137S WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER ,9, 1976 FIFTEEN CENTS Landfill problem solved By daphne McCullough IT APPEARS that Rappahannock County may finally get a landfill but it will be privately owned rather than on county property. Supervisor Chairman Pete Luke won approval from the rest of the members of the Board of Supervisors at their meeting Thursday, September 2, to continue his negotiations with Community Trash, low bidders on the 1977 Rappahannock trash contract. Mr. and Mrs. E.B. Updike’s Community Trash was awarded a contract at the August Board meeting. At that time, Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis pointed out that the collected trash was the Updikes’ property and the responsibility for its disposal was also theirs. Ruth Updike agreed and told Davis that she expected Community Trash to also be given the Orange County trash contract, the bids on which were to be opened the following day, and that Community Trash would continue to use the Orange County landfill. When the Orange bids were opened on August 9, however, a Richmond firm had underbid the Updikes by $1,600. The Orange County Board of Supervisors then voted to close their landfill to Rappahannock within 90 days. In an effort to find a solution to the trash disposal problem and not default on their Rappahannock contract, the Updikes have been searching for property to use as a landfill in the county. Chairman Luke reported that a landowner with a suitable parcel who was willing to sell had been found. LOCATED on Route 522 between Culpeper and Sperryville, thepro_ posed 36.92-acre site has been r given tentative approval by District Solid Waste Management Director R.H. Foreman. Foreman said the site looks “fairly good” but added that his approval was subject to soil studies and State Water Control Board concurrence. As the parcel is located in an Agricultural Zone, Luke explained that the Updikes will have to obtain a special use permit from the Zoning Appeals Board before operating the site as a landfill. Supervisor Butch Eastham asked if the public would have access to the facility. Luke said that he thought the public would be able to use the landfill, subject to adherence to certain rules and regulations. On the matter of trash disposal, said Luke, “we’ve had a good working relationship with this contractor (Community Trash)...We’ve had a poor working relationship with the public. The public hasn’t helped us worth a damn.” Foreman suggested that the Supervisors consider buying property for a landfill that would be long to the county. He cited the mounting problem of trash disposal. A problem that he thought will continue to grow in the future as there are more and more contin gencies to meet and more regulations imposed on how trash is disposed of. “I would much rather work through the county government on a problem than with a private company,” maintained Foreman. He advised the Supervisors to “ consider the possibility of protecting yourself.” George Davis asked Foreman for an estimate on the expected life of the landfill. WITH an excavation depth of 15 to 20 feet, Foreman thought the landfill would last the county for 30 to 40 years, “if the soil is as good as it looks on the map” and if the landfill isn’t used by areas outside of the county. “Do the Updikes plan to use it just for the county?” asked Supervisor Butch Eastham. “I’m not going to say we won’t ever do it (bring trash from elsewhere), but we don’t plan to,” answered Mrs. Updike. Commonwealth’s Attorney Da Park offers program for local teachers An advanced Environmental Education workshop for elementary teachers from the surrounding eight-county area will be held in Shenandoah National Park in September. According to Superintendent Robert R. Jacobsen, the workshop is part of the continuing program whereby the natural, cultural, and environmental resources in Shenandoah National Park may be used by teachers and students in their study of all subjects taught in the school system. The workshop will be held September 18 at the Harry F. Byrd, Sr. Visitor Center at Big Meadows. The workshop will begin at 10 a.m. Letters of invitation are being sent to all elementary principals in the two school districts. Interested teachers may contact their principals or call the Assistant Chief Park Naturalist at Shenandoah National Park, 999-2241, extension 22 or 39, from 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. vis advised the Board that he didn’t think the County could put any restrictions as to who would have use of the facility on a landfill that was privately owned. Chairman Pete Luke requested advice on another legal question. Could the county renegotiate its three-year contract with Community Trash, once it was in operation, for a longer period of time without going to bids again? Nobody answered his question, but Luke said he thought this was a legally acceptable procedure to follow and one that would not leave the county open to litigation on the part of other contractors. WHEN asked by Luke if they wanted him to continue negotiations on the present course of action, moving towards a privately owned landfill, the rest of the Supervisors all nodded in agreement. “Let’s go on with this and see how it goes,” said Luke, “We might get burned but I’ll take my chances.” Luke added that if the initial 90-day time period with Orange elapsed and the Updikes did not have a working landfill, that it might be possible to obtain a time extension for an additional 90 days.

MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Alarming trend PEOPLE who don’t think “development” will make any difference to Virginia’s Piedmont should take a look at the five-year Census of Agriculture figures releasedby the U. S. Department of Commerce. The figures are revealing, and alarming—some 13.000 acres of farmland in Rappahannock County, lost; almost 18,000 acres in Fauquier County, lost; almost 18.000 in Culpeper, lost; and so on throughout the area. Farmland lost to development is not land that can be readily returned to agriculture. Indeed, when it’s covered by highways, shopping centers and housing tracts, the chances are—at least within a historic sense that can be readily grasped—that it can never be returned to the production of food. And this trend is going on at a time when the population is continuing to increase. Past momentums will insure that the population will continue to increase for decades, despite a heartening reduction in birth rates. Consider the population trend, and the disappearance of farmland, on a national and global scale, and the result is short-sightedness of truly distressing proportions. “PEOPLE have to live somewhere,” say the proponents of development, sitting back and smiling smugly in their assurance of having uttered a profound truth. People have also got to eat, and those who would pocket shortterm profits at the expense of long-term sanity in land use do so at an ultimate cost which future generations will be forced to pay. Those who claim a “right” to pave over and uglify the landscape have got to be put in a proper perspective, lest we all suffer from the folly of their actions. Let’s stop quibbling about those myopic, socalled “rights,” which are extracted at the expense of the present and future well-being of our entire society, and put a stop to trends which can only lead to disaster and misery. □ Robinson aide to visit county Rep. J. Kenneth Robinson is sending an assistant, Jim Hobgood, to the Rappahannock County area on Wednesday September 15. He will be at the Courthouse in Washington from 10 a.m. to noon. Robinson recommends that if any area citizens have a problem with which they need assistance, dealing with the federal agencies. that they pay a visit to one of these locations and talk with their representative. The District Office in Fredericksburg is located in the basement of the Post Office Bldg, on Princess Anne Street and is open Monday thru Friday from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 3 p.m. Phone: (703) 373-0536. Address: P. 0. Box 336, Fredericksburg, 22401. □ problem From Page 1 ,, . Also, he said, Foreman had another fall-back position in a 90 day use agreement with Fauquier County for their landfill. Foreman noted that this agreement was contingent upon Rappahannock making progress in obtaining their own landfill. In a separate trash matter, Chairman Luke read a letter from Jennings Hobson of the Washington Fire Department, listing the stipulations that the Board would have to agree to before the Department would allow the dumpsters to be placed on their property. Hobson proposed that the Department be paid $10 per month for each of the ten dumpsters, that a snow fence be erected, the bank graded and shaped, the entrance way graveled with a gate installed so the site could be closed at night and regulations posted pertaining to the use of the dumpsters. At the end of a 90 day trial penoa, ne saia uie iwpdumem members would vote on whether they wanted the dumpsters there permanently. If they agreed to keep the dumpsters, Hobson said further stipulations would have to be met. An evergreen screen will have to be planted around the site, a permanent closure installed and the sign listing the regulations will have to be maintained. Luke questioned the feasability of the County investing the money to meet the Fire Departments requirements for only a trial period. “Do you want to spend this much money for 90 days?” he asked. SUPERVISOR H.B. Woods said he thought that the Fire Department should be willing to work with the Supervisors on an experiment “without all this cost.” “This will set a precedent,” added Supervisor Butch Eastham. “A good one,” interjected Davis. “Good, but maybe a little high,” maintained Eastham. Davis suggested that Luke negotiate with Hobson and set a limit on expenditures for the 90 day trial period. Luke agreed to contact Hobson and see what could be worked out. He commented that when he was trying to find a location for the dumpsters he had been plagued by complaints from citizens in the area of every site considered. “Washington Fire Department voted to put them down there (on the Department property) and I don’t think they asked citizen one,” concluded Luke. EARLIER in the meeting, the Supervisors voted unanimously to adopt the automobile and utility tax change that they had agreed if>on in their budget considerations, in order to hold the property tax rate down. License tags will now cost $15 and the utility tax will jump from 5 to 15 percent on the first ten dollars of the meter bill. Following a request from a Potomac Electric Power Company representative, the Supervisors agreed to delay implementation of the utility tax change for 30 days, until Oct-, ober 1, in order to facilitate Pep^ co’s billing and bookkeeping procedures. Chairman Luke reported on a letter he received from the state Department of Taxation advising the Supervisors on a scheduled property reassessment in Rappahannock. The letter stated that there is a possibility that the county will not be required to conduct another reassessment until 1981, rather than 1978. Luke said the Supervisors will look into this development at their October meeting, after Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis has had time to examine more closely the Virginia Code and pertinent amendments. □ Scout meeting A Girl Scout Service Unit meeting was held Saturday at the home of Mrs. D.L. Jones near Amissville with leaders of the various local groups attending. Plans were formulated for a Parents Evening Program to be given and the reorganization of Scout Troops was discussed.

Bicentennial activities keep going IF anyone imagines that after our Fabulous Fourth became history with the final firework at Avon Hall, the Bicentennial Bugler folded his bugle and silently retired to the hill on which he perches merely to lay the instrument in some dark corner where its role in these tense times would be just to invest itself in tarnish—that one, to get to the main clause of this sentence, is wrong. Quite wrong. Hear, therefore, again the horn of plenty in the way of Country Carryings-on in the near future, after a brief pause to lament two casualties in the year-long program: the August anniversary of Washington Town’s historic and unique beginning, and the souvenir issue of the Rappahannock News due to an anemic infusion of historical plasma. But the Program is alive and about to do well. For example: Later this month, probably the 25th, Capt. Howard Holschuh’s interesting and well received Slide Show will be repeated at a place and hour to be announced next week. Again it is necessary to defray expenses by charging a modest admission—75 cents for adults and 25 cents for children. Those who missed the previous showing should be happy to know they have Another Chance. Next, rounding off, as it customarily does, the third weekend of October (the 16th and 17th) is the annual House Tour and sale of dried Flower Arrangements, a perennial favorite. A few (four) weeks later comes one of the Galas of the Bicentennial Year—The Ball, the evening of November 12th, a. Friday. Much more will be said about this, but you can start preparations as of this overture. However, a glissando of grace notes might appropriately accompany these relevant facts: heading the team of those committed to seeing that The Ball is a Standout Success are Mary Quaintance and Carroll Quaintance, with Ned Jones in charge of the music and Virginia Miller directing the sale of tickets. It promises, therefore, with your attendance (in colonial costume if at all possible) to uphold Rappahannock’s reputation for Resplendent Recreation. SHORTLY thereafter, Sunday, November 21st, to be specific (and that frequently has its advantages) there will be a movie shown in the Episcopal Parish Hall following a covered-dish supper. Russell and Marion Kuhn have procured the film setting forth Religious Beginnings in America (Thanksgiving is only four days off). The time of showing will be heralded anon. Later buglings also will be required for the next tidbit on the Bicentennial Buffet—a hike to the historic Indian Copper Mine,guid Rappahannock candidate won't be on the ballot SHARON Kilpatrick, a Rappahannock county housewife and farm partner, will not have her name on the Virginia presidential ballot as Eugene McCarthy’s running mate. Hie McCarthy-Kilpatrick campaign failed to get off the ground last Friday when they did not have the required number of petition signatures by the 12 o’clock deadline. According to reports, the McCarthy-Kilpatrick drive fell 3,018 short of 9,007 signatures needed. Sharon thought the total would have been much closer if the officials had counted several more pages of names brought in by volunteers minutes after the noon deadline. She said she had been told by people in the McCarthy campaign that they were going to talk to their lawyers to see if the results should be contested. “But I haven’t heard anything. I intend to write in my name and McCarthy’s,” Sharon said. In a prepared statement released over the weekend, Sharon stated that “since we have fallen 3000 short (in the petition drive) I can 'only conclude that the petition effort was not started soon enough. I cannot claim that we could have made up the difference but we asked for and were not given petitions. We could have gotten five to six hundred names locally.” SHARON was asked by McCarthy three weeks ago to run as his vice-presidential candidate in Virginia. She agreed but took no action to publicize her campaign, thinking that she would hear something from headquarters. “I waited but nothing happened,” she said. Weekend before last, she said that she and her husband told a few friends of her involvement in politics but still did nothing official. The first real publicity came with her formal introduction as McCarthy’s vice-presidential running mate in Virginia at a National Press Club Luncheon in Washington, D. C., last Wednesday. (McCarthy has approximately 40 running mates so far in his campaign to get on the ballot in all 50 states as a presidential candidate.) SHARON is the daughter-in-law of Washington columnist James J. Kilpatrick. She and her husband, Sean Kilpatrick, live on Hawthorne Farm in Rappahannock County. Sharon does not rule out die possibility of trying to make the ballot with McCarthy again in 1980, but she would see to it at that time that the petition drive was started sooner and handled better, if she had to do it herself. In the meantime, she hopes that a write-in campaign will be organized, at least in her district, for the McCarthy-Kilpatrick ticket. □ SEPTEMBER 18 IS AN OPEN DATE If you need the services of an auctioneer on that date, contact John Walker Jenkins Auctioneering Service 987-8211 or 675-3325 ed “in a Colonial Manner.” That cryptic description will receive further illumination plus desirable details as promised above.

Probation office in new quarters PROBATION District Office 25 on the east end of the Warrenton By-pass opened its doors to clients on August 1, but didn’t get around to having an open house until last Thursday, September 2. At the open house that afternoon, staff members explained to private citizens and public officials die reasons for opening the new office and the goals of the program. Probation officer Mike Fling explained that District 25 used to be a part of District 11 in Front Royal, but was made a separate entity because of limited office space in Front Royal and because if was too far away for Loudoun and Fauquier clients. Now, instead of being part of District 11, which included almost all of Northern Virginia, District 25 handles clients from only Fauquier, Loudoun and Rappahannock counties. Jack DeBergh is the District Supervisor and handles clients from Rappahannock County. Probation officer Paul Warner is responsible for all the Loudoun County probationers and parolees. Mike Fling handles all the clients from Fauquier and Louise Ellis works with all the drug and alcohol offenders and all female clients from the three District 25 counties. FLING explained that each officer has about 50 to 60 clients at a time, aiid that the clients’offences range from petty theft to murder. He said that most of his clients never return to jail, which he says is much better than urban areas where the return rate is sometimes over 60 percent. Fling said that he believes his work is very important because it helps prevent overcrowding in penal institutions, and helps save taxpayers money. He said that it is also better for first offenders if they are put on probation instead of being sent to jail. He added that probation services save “literally millions of dollars in Fauquier County alone.” □ Officers and staff members of the Probation District Office 25 held an office party Thursday, September 2, at their new office on the Warrenton By-pass. In the back are (left to right) Jack DeBergh, office supervisor; Louise Ellis, Mike Fling and Paul Warner. In front are Carrol Beukelman, Janet Davies and Mary Williams. WOODVILLE NEWS By MRS.

Rappahannock apple crops are down RAPPAHANNOCK apple growers disagree with the revised estimates released by the Virginia Crop reporting service, that predict 4,405,000 bushels of apples will be harvested in Virginia this year. The revised estimate is an increase of 1,191,000 bushels from the July estimate. “They’re all wet,” said Lucio Kilby of Rappahannock Cold Storage in Sperryville. “A short crop is a short crop,” he maintained, and no amount of estimate revisions could change that. Rappahannock’s apple crop was severely damaged by a late freeze, with temperatures dipping into the twenties the weekend of April 10. At that time, some estimates went as high as 90 percent crop loss. Red Delicious apples, the “money crop,” sustained the most damage. H. B. Wood of Woodville said he had seen nothing to make him revise his estimates on his crop loss. Ned Johnson from Sperryville agreed. Both men predicted a harvest only 25 percent of normal. “NOW they’re two million off,” commented Charles Foster, in reference to the revised estimates. Foster maintains that the initial estimate by the Crop Reporting Service was one million bushels over the number that Virginia orchardists will actually harvest. Foster said that the yield from CARD OF THANKS I would like to express my sincere thanks to all of those who helped me become the honorary fire chief of Washington, Virginia for 1977. Thank you, Frances Gray Thanks to the damage sustained during a late spring freeze, there weren’t any Red Delicious apples for fancy packing at the Rappahannock Cold Storage plant in Sperryville last week. the Foster Brother orchards in Flint Hill is proving his estimates to be correct. INSTEAD of the regular harvest of 50,000 bushels of Yorks, Foster expects only 5,000. He estimates that he will get 100 bushels of Red Delicious, not the 10 to ^thousand bushels he anticipated before the freeze. A representative from National Fruit Product of Winchester, the company that processes a large share of Rappahannock apples, told Foster that they are planning on receiving 50,000 bushels. The figure falls far short of the 400,000 bushels that National Fruit normally handles. The crop failure is having a major impact on apple prices. Last year, Foster Brothers charged $3.50 a bushel for Yorks and Golden Delicious, two and fiveeighth inches and up. This year, the same varieties, measuring two and a half inches and up, will sell for $6.50 a bushel. Apples under two and a half inches will cost $3 per hundred. Last year, they were $1.25.

Not this year. “We’re going to have to buy apples from somewhere else,” said Foster. Conveyor belts carry apples to be sorted according to size at the Rappahannock Cold Storage plant in Sperryville. Last week, only yellow apples were being processed. The Red Delicious harvest the orchardists’ main money crop, was almost completely wiped out in a late freeze. Apple sorters weren’t as busy last week as they have been in years past at the Rappahannock Cold Storage Plant in Sperryville. County -apple growers are still predicting only a 25 percent crop at most for this year following the late freeze in April. -•we. PIEDMONT Chevrolet-Oldsmobile, Inc 814 N.

The drop in number of nonproductive farms in Rappahannock County coincides with a national trend. The preliminary report states that for several years there has been a large, but decreasing, number of farms which donotproduce a significant quantity of agricultural products for sale. Nationwide, about 571,000 farms in 1969 reported sales of less than $1,000. TTiese farms comprised 20.9 percent of the total farms but only one half of one percent of the total sales. By 1974 many of these farms had either increased to above $1,000 in sales or dropped out of existence. The average size of a farm in Rappahannock dropped during the five year period from 319 acres in 1969 to 280 acres in 1974. A farm is defined for census purposes as an agricultural operation conducted at any time during the census year under the control of an individual management, with sales amounting to at least $250 for places less than 10 acres or $500 for places of ten acres or more. In 1974, there were six farms under ten acres, 56 farms between ten to 49 acres, 107 farms between 50 and 179 acres, and 61 farms between 180 and 499 acres. There were only 22 farms of between 500 and 999 acres, nine farms of between 1,000 and 1,999 acres and five farms with 2,000 acres or more. THE .value of agricultural products sold increased 40 percent from $2,477,000 in 1969 to $3,473,000 in 1974. Farm production expenses increased 36 percent over the same period from $2,333,000 in ‘69 to $3,183,000 in ‘74. The total value of farms in the county increased 79 percent from $26,735,000 to $47,949,000. A major portion of the increase can be attributed to the increased value of the land used in farming. The average value per acre of farm land jumped from $304 in 1969 to $645 in 1974, an increase of 112 percent. The average age of Rappahan Coates - Nethken Miss Elizabeth Ann Nethken, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Steward Nethken, became the bride of Charlie Robin Coates, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Robin Coates on August 28, 1976 at New Salem Baptist Church.

S. LeGarde, director of the immunization project, National Health authorities believe that this winter could bring an epidemic comparable in severity to that of 1918 when one half million Americans died. The Swine Flu vaccine is 70 to 90 percent effective in preventing the disease and reduces the severity of the illness in those who do become sick, according to Dr. LeGarde. He said that “the side effects of the vaccine are minimal as compared to the threat of an epidemic and that the Health Department is preparing to in noculate that part of the population above the age of 18 years.” The vaccine will be given with a pneumatic vaccine gun rather than the conventional needle. The gun method is less painful and much faster than using a needle, according to Dr. LeGarde. He estimates that his staff will be prepared to administer 500 to 1000 shots per hour with the bulk of the time being taken in record keeping. LeGarde estimates that private physicians will have the vaccine by mid September with Health Department Clinics beginning in early fall. AS TO the vaccine’s possible harmful side effects, LeGarde answered: “I’m going to take it myself. What better recommendation can I give?” FLINT HILL NEWS Mr. and Mrs. Donald Enroughty are spending the week with Mrs. Ethel Pullen.
