School position under study By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH RUMORS and petitions brought out a crowd for Tuesday night’s Rappahannock School Board meeting. Some 200 persons packed the Elementary School auditorium to find out how the Board intended to fill the position that will be vacated by retiring Superintendent O.A. Norton. During the last couple of weeks, a rumor circulated around the county that School Board members intended to combine the positions of Superintendent and High School principal. Petitions in opposition to such a move were begun by a citizens group in Sperry ville, the Rappahannock Women’s Club and the county teachers. Then another rumor followed that Board members had changed their minds. Tuesday’s audience included those for and those against consolidation of the jobs, and speakers for both positions won applause. “I’m a little perturbed that all this information could get around, petitions circulated with nothing in the newspapers,” said H.L. Man waring. He expressed concern that the county taxpayers did not have more time to prepare for Book reviewers party scheduled A party for Elementary School students who participated in the Book Review Contest will take place at 7:30 p.m. Friday, November 19, at the Rappahannock County Library, in Washington. The party is for fifth, sixth, and seventh grade contestants, their parents, their teachers, ana the judges who will announce the winners, and present awards and certificates of merit. A total of 145 students completed two book reviews each. Contestants are invited to stay for refreshments. □ a discussion on the consolidation issue and only found out that such an issue existed by catching innuendos. (The possibility of combining school administrative positions was discussed at the September and October meetings of the Sch ool Board but only in executive session. When the Board retired to a late private session at the October meeting, Chairman E.N. Montague was asked if any action was anticipated and he answered, “no.” According, to the School Board members, the vote to ad vertise for an individual to serve as part-time Superintendent and part-time High School principal was taken after the Board returned to open session following the executive discussion.) MANWARING favored the conSee Page 4 Rappahannock Homemaker Clubs held the annual achievement night program Monjday evening at the Flint Hill fire hall. Awards were made for the best club of the year.

Most county budgets being met $xm RAPPAHANNOCK County government is operating within its current budget in most areas, according to information supplied by department heads to Supervisor Chairman Pete Luke. “Everybody is under their budget allocation,” Luke reported at last Thursday’s meeting of the Rappahannock Supervisors, except die Sheriffs Department and possibly the welfare office. Luke wrote to all the department heads requesting the budget information after last month’s accounts showed the Sheriff’s department mileage figures running $75 to $100 over allocations. Sheriff Buntin appeared last Thursday to explain why he anticipated that his office would stay within it budget despite the mileage overrun. As of October 1, said Buntin, he and his deputies are writing traffic violations on county warrants instead of state. “I don’t know why this wasn’t done in the past,” said Buntin. “It will bring in a good bit of revenue—$400 in October.” He noted that previously, this money went to the state when state warrants were used. Buntin added that his department had already written 100 violations for not having county tags. All the offenders weren’t convicted but enough were to make this also a source of considerable revenue, according to Buntin. The warrants and tags will more than balance out the additional mileage and telephone costs, he maintained. BUNTIN noted that work done on updating the county traffic or- 1 (finance by himself and Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis had made the switch to county warrants possible. “I don’t think the Board should consider criminal law as primarily a revenue source,” commented Davis. “That’s right,” quickly agreed Supervisor H.B. Wood. “I wanted to say that too.” Welfare Supervisor Elizabeth Bun tin was at the meeting to explain her office’s budget problems. The total budget figure, said Mrs. Buntin, “doesn’t amount to a hill of beans” because each category is matched differently with Federal, State and local funds. Her deter initiations of whether she could remain in her office’s local fund budget were complicated by not knowing whether she would be able to transfer funds from one specific area to another, she maintained. Mrs. Bun tin said she was only certain of being able to move funds between Food Stamp and Administration. “Foster care is overspent. That’s going to be critical.” ‘ ‘I agree in principle that we have to support the children but where’s the money coming from?” asked Col. Luke. The state approved budget calls for more local funds than approved by Rappahannock, explained Mrs. Buntin. She maintained that she had not had all the necessary informaSee Pace 11

MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Historic preservation DEL. Raymond R. (Andy) Guest Jr. made a telling point at the conference on historic preservation held last week in Culpeper, but it is one which is often overlooked by the persons who are most interested in saving something of our heritage for future generations. The point: Unless ordinary citizens are convinced of the necessity of historic preservation, and good community planning in general, then the effort is not going to receive the public and political support that is necessary for its success. As Andy Guest described them, the people who must be convinced are the ones with car payment and tax problems, the ones so involved in the necessities of day to day living that they have little time for other considerations. Unless you can convince these people that handsome architecture from the past is of value to him, his children and his grandchildren — and valuable in rather direct ways, at that, as opposed to purely esthetic considerations—then the destructionof beautiful and .P historic structures and landscapes will continue. There won’t be enough political clout to save them. GUEST also stressed that citizen activists can accomplish a great deal without help from government, at any level, but his point about the need to do “a P-R job” for the cause of historic preservation and good planning practices in general, is one that should be heeded. Indeed, it illustrates the difference between a community like Leesburg, which has initiated some preservation efforts, and Warrerjfon, which has not, with the exception of private projects. In Leesburg, citizens and businessmen are convinced of the value of historic preservation, and they’ve had some experience that bears out the premise. In Warrenton, most businessmen and citizens seem to be unconvinced, to the point where efforts for historic zoning have been resisted, and esthetic appeals against further inroads on the still gracious and historic center of the town fall on deaf political ears. Let’s hope the ‘‘P-R job” called for by Guest is forthcoming, and that it is successful. Too much of this area’s legacy has already been sacrificed to that false goddess “Progress. ”□ Sign-up deadline Saturday, November 13, from 8 a.m. until noon, is the deadline for signing up for needed conservation work under the 1977 Agricultural Conservation Program (ACP). Make applications now for any conservation work that it is intended to perform in the spring or fall of 1977. Soil samples are required for any project requiring lime or fertilizer. □ Letters to the editor The will of the people Editor, The good citizens who showed up at the School Board meeting last night will show up again when the budget hearing comes up next May to say “no more taxes . . . cut spending,” still not realizing that by their actions last night, taxes and expenditures will surely be higher. Again a county supervisory board has let the emotion of the public rule, rather than brainsheer numbers of people knock the props from under a determination of a board appointed to take action which is best for the students, administration, teachers and county. I thought idealistically. . .that the Board, Administration and Teachers were all interested in the best education for the least cost. I find that untrue and realized it when I heard a teacher ask, “Have we successfully stopped the Board?” Congratulations to Mr. Wingfield. He has retained his job— without saying a word. Maybe he will get a listed phone number now to accept congratulatory calls. I am not against Mr. Wingfield; I am for the most efficient and least costly administration possible. Now when taxes go up we will know it was the will of the people. Who knows but what we might have gotten one person, dilligent and efficient enough to handle the combined superintendent and principal position and still have retained Mr. Wingfield in the system. Who knows...guess we won’t. A parent RCES Menu Monday, November 15. Spaghetti Green peas, Pineapple/grapefruit cookie, Bread/butter, Milk. Tuesday, November 16.

No hunting in park area Superintendent Robert R. Jacobsen has announced that approximately 500 acres of land lying one mile southeast from Front Royal in Harmony Hollow were recently included within the boundaries of Shenandoah National Park. This land was formerly administered by the old Beef Cattle Research Station. Although the exact new boundary will be established by a survey, Park Rangers have marked its approximate location with official metal Park boundary markers. This new land addition is located south of Route 522 from immediately east of the Rappawan Lumber Company to the junction of Route 522 and west of State Route 604 from that junction to the south side of the Treasury Department’s Detector Dog Training Center. This land is now under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service and all Park rules and regulations apply. Sportsmen should take special note that this area is closed to all hunting and trapping or other molesting of wildlife. Customary Park uses, such as hiking, camping, fishing, etc., are permitted according to current regulations. □ CHURCH MEETING The Administrative Board of the Flint Hill Methodist Church will meet at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Miller in Flint Hill November 15 at 7:30 p.m. □ Who are the Ruritans? THE HISTORY of the Amissville Ruritan Club has never registered the birth of a senator or ' president or noted dignitary, but it has produced men, men who have had a vital concern for their neighbors and community. The record of their contribution stands as a proud testimonial to their years of service. The club is a member of the 1200 Unit Ruritan National, committed to the purpose of spreading good will and community assistance primarily in rural areas. While the Amissville Ruritans were organized in 1961 the activities of 1976 illustrate the type of contribution offered during this 15 year history. In April an amateur talent show offered a real break through for the young folks of this area. Over 30 children and teenagers carried out a program of some 15 different acts to the.delight of a full house in the Rappahannock Elementary School. Prize money of $75 was awarded giving both performers and audience a keen sense of satisfaction. The annual pit-cooked barbecue, held on July 3rd again offered the community a time of good fellowship, a chance to eat as much as one wished and an opportunity to enjoy a country auction. The homemade desserts were highlighted by distribution of champion pie recipes. One hundred dollars was given to a high ranking graduateof this year’s Rappahannock High School toward her college expense. Committed to a strong expression of die Christian principles, the Ruritans attended services in three local churches during their special services. Other contributions were $10 each given to the daily vacation Bible schools of the Amissville Baptist and Methodist churches. FUNDS were also offered to the pastors of these two churches for a week’s expense at the conference of Rural Virginia Pastors. The club has had a long standing interest in the Little League baseball activity and contributed $100 toward team insurance. Later in the year Christmas baskets will be distributed and prizes will be given for the best decorated homes. The club has contributed $10 to the Rappahannock Womans Club Fashion Slow and it secured a film on cancer which was shown in the community. H.R. Terhune SPECIAL SERVICE A special dedication service will be held at Washington United Methodist Church at 11:15 a.m. Sunday, November 14 in honor of Mrs. Grace Reid, Clarence E. Giles, Mrs. Jessie H. Rowzie and Mrs. Bertha H. Compton. The public is invited to attend. □

Baldwin added that he didn’t think the Supervisors had received enough “input” at the time the decision was made two months ago to proceed with work towards a privately owned landfill in the county. The landfill issue wasn’t on the agenda for the November meeting but the subject came up after the conclusion of the regular business. Chairman Pete Luke suggested an executive session to discuss disposal of the Madison Extension Building and also included the landfill site for discussion in the private session. “Why an executive session?” asked Patricia Helmer, a citizen who was present. She wanted to know why the landfill couldn’t be discussed in public. Luke replied that the issue involved private parties involved in negotiations. He added that the Board members had already voted unanimously at a prior meeting to pursue a privately owned landfill rather than acquire land for a county owned operation. Mrs. Helmer still objected to the executive session. “I’d like for there to be a record on how each Supervisor feels.” She argued that all the discussions on the landfill should be kept public so that the public knows what is going on. LUKE responded that the issue had been aired in public on a number of previous occasions. He said he had written articles for the local paper on the trash problem and that a county landfill had been discussed at several meetings of the Rappahannock Planning Commission before the Supervisors had voted to go with a private concern. He added that neither Mrs. Helmer nor anyone else had been at those meetings to protest. “There’s a strong propensity on this Board and in this County not to ask for Federal funds,” said Luke in regard to costs to the county with a public landfill. “We’d have to raise funds to buy land. We’d have to pay a supervisor... to inspect it. The county would then be in the trash business.” Luke said that the county had advertised in four papers for four weeks for the trash contract bids. Three companies submitted bids. None of the three were able to find a landowner willing to sell property for a landfill site at that time. (The current contractor, Mr. and Mrs. E.B. Updike’s Community Trash Service submitted the low bid and was awarded a three year contract at the August Supervisor meeting. At that time, Mrs. Updike assured the Board that Community Trash would also retain the Orange County Trash contract and accompanying use of the landfill there, but when the Orange bids were opened the following week, the Updikes were substantially underbid by a Richmond firm. The Orange County Supervisors subsequently voted to close their landfill to Rappahannock County within 90 days. The Updikes later located a landowner willing to sell them property for a landfill and reported this to the Supervisors, who authorized Luke to work with the Updikes towards establishing a privately owned landfill.) IF A decision is made to go with a public landfill and a suitable piece of land is found, then “we’re gonna condemn it,” warned Luke. There will be no hearings, no arguments over whether the neighboring land owners object to the location. “I’d like to see you do just that and I think you’re ten or 12 years late in doing it,’’interjected Carson John ^CULPEPER RRrCO^ ANTIQUES REPRODUCTIONS GIFTS FURNITURE CHINA FRAMING PRINTS ^ ART GRUERy ' 501 N.MRINl ST I CULPEPER, VA. 22701 PHONE 7Q3-82S-W10 Parking in the rear. PETIE* CHARLIE STRINGFELLOW son, another citizen in the audience. Patricia Helmer repeated her objections to an executive session on the subject, maintaining that it would only serve to “rubber stamp” Luke’s opinions presented at the October 21 hearing of the Zoning Appeals Board. Luke claimed that this was prejudgement on Mrs. Helmer’s part. She disagreed. “I was at that meeting and I saw how upset you were,” Mrs. Helmer told Luke. (The BZA hearing was adjourned without reaching a decision on the special use permit after Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis and Pete Luke asked that the Rappahannock Supervisors be made a party to the application with the Updikes. Members of the BZA wanted advice from counsel as to whether the application could be amended without readvertising. At this time, the BZA hearing on the landfill has not been rescheduled.) Luke returned to the executive session question. He maintained that the landfill issue involved a “private person and their money,” and therefore justified an executive session. Mrs. Helmer wasn’t finished arguing for a public landfill. Choose the location solely on the basis of the merits of the property as a landfill site and not on its availability for use, she urged. Luke asked real estate agents Carson Johnson and Roger Batcheldor if they knew of any land presently on the market that would be suitable for a landfill. Batcheldor replied that he knew of none although he charged the county with “shucking responsibility” in opting for a privately owned landfill. “There’s a strong propensity for taking the easy way out,” he said. Batcheldor advised the Supervisors to take a couple of months and arrange for studies by soil scientists to find the best county land for the landfill site. COMMONWEALTH’S Attorney George Davis supported Luke in his request for an executive session, claiming that a private discussion of the problem was more conducive to a calm, unemotional climate. “I think I would feel safer having a landfill next to my property if the county owned it,” commented Patricia Helmer. Davis pointed out that regulaSee Page 14 $149#o CULPEPER BOOK STORE 210 N. Main St. Culpeper

School position under study r rum rage * solidated position. He maintained that combining the position of principal and Superintendent would result in a savings that could be used “to obtain accreditation or adequately pay teachers.” He felt the proposal was not “a slap at any person” but would make the Rappahannock schools a more efficient system. School Board Chairman E. N. Montague said he originally supported the proposal to combine the positions because he thought it would result in a savings of $6,000. Upon re-examination of the figures, he changed his mind and requested a reconsideration of the question. Under parliamentary procedure, an “aye” voter on a position can call for reconsideration, according to Montague. He presented figures to support his conclusion that consolidation wouldn’t result in savings. Currently, according to Montague, Rappahannock pays $12,000 for part-time Superintendent Norton, $18,375 for the adhiinistrative assistant to the* Superintendent, $18,226 for the High School principal, and $11,915 to the assistant High School principal who also teaches two classes for a total of $60,516. Montague esumaieu a ^u,uuu salary for the combined position of principal and Superintendent, but added that “some of my colleagues tell me we would be lucky to get someone for $22,000.” He estimated salary for the Administrative Assistant in charge of Federal Programs at $18,375, $6000 of which would probably be reimbursed with Federal funds. Salary for the assistant principal of the High School remained at $11,915 in Montague’s computations but he included an $8,500 salary item under the consolidation plan for an extra teacher to replace the assistant principal as instructor in the two classes that he currently holds. The total for administrative salaries, according to Montague’s figures, was $58,790 ($52,790 minus the $6,000 Federal reimbursement). MONTAGUE gave the salary for a full-time Superintendent as $20, 000. Without consolidating positions, salaries for assistant Sup erintendent, High School principal and assistant High School principal would be $18,375, $18,226 and $11,915, according to Montague. The total for administrative costs with a full-time Superintendent, according to Montague’s figures, is $68,516 ($62,516 minus the $6, 000 Federal reimbursement). It would be cheaper to have a full-time Superintendent than a combined position, maintained Montague. Manwaring disagreed. He suggested that in addition to combining the positions of Superintendent and High School principal, there was the possibility of combining the jobs of the elementary principal, who is also retiring, and the assistant Superintendent. With the work put in by Norton in organizing the school system, Manwaring maintained that “we could find a good man who could run the two school systems with one hand tied behind his back.’’ A chorus of “nos” and head shakings in disagreement ran through the audience. Mrs. Gordon Thornhill stood up and asked for a round of applause in recognition of Montague’s decision to re-evaluate his figures on the cost ration of the two alternatives. The response from the audience appeared to be practically unanimous. WES CHAPEL, a teacher at the High School, asked if either Superintendent Norton or assistant Superintendent Fleetwood felt they could effectively fill the combined position. Fleetwood answered that he had a difficult time now accomplishing all he wanted to do. “It would be physically and mentally impossible for me to function as both.’’ Norton said he would hate to see the county get into any legal difficulties from problems caused by having one person devote too much time to. too many positions. “I cannot visualize doing both (Superintendent and Principal) at the same time,” he concluded. “I am for quality education,” said Newbill Miller, but in relation to what a child learns, not administration. Miller advocated “efficiency in government” and described the School Board as an arm of local government.

As to the increased workload, Miller maintained that “the more work an individual has, the more efficient he becomes.” Montague s assertion that the two hours of classes taught by the assistant principal would have to be replaced by a teacher with an $8,500 a year salary “is not efficiency in government,” said Miller. MILLER claimed that consolidating administrative positions could result in a total savings of between $35,000 and $40, 000 that “could be directed to something that will teach the children.” The School Board voted to advertise for a consolidated position, said Miller, “with no duress or pressure from either side. Have the courage of your convictions, stand on your decision and “act on it,” he advised the Board. Montague listed the High School principal’s areas of responsibility in an attempt to clear up what he saw as a misunderstanding of figures for school overhead. The overhead does not amount to $120, 000, maintained Montague; instead, he thought $50,000 was more accurate. George Davis had two questions. “Are we getting all the discipline at the High School in an efficient manner, and are we getting all the Federal appropriations we’re entitled to?” “You asked two questions that are a matter of opinion,” Montague responded. “Then are we getting all the Federal grants?” amended Davis. “We believe so,” answered Nor“We believe so,” answered Montague. SUPERINTENDENT Norton interjected that Rappahannock was ineligible for the latest grant he was aware of because the unemployment rate in the county was too low. “This is a change from the time I heard people in Rappahannock say let’s leave Federal money alone,” he added. Murphy Reid spoke in opposition to consolidation. “The real issue here is whether we ^an get two people to do the work of four people. The optimists say we only need to find someone who is energetic” in order to successfully fill the consolidated position. If such a person could be found, said Reid, “you couldn’t touch him for under $35,000 a year. If you’re planning to get someone for $18, 000 to $20,000, forget it. You won’t find them.” He asked if the citizens of Rappahannock were willing to “mortgage their children’s future” by continuing with the plans for consolidation. “I can think of no greater disservice to our children,” he concluded. Dean Hahn, a former teacher at the High School, maintained that classroom discipline was the most important factor in getting in good education and said he had always received 100 percent support on discipline matters from High School principal Dennis Wingfield. Norton and Fleetwood said they couldn’t do the job of principal and Superintendent combined, noted Hahn, describing the two men as dedicated. He maintained that the county wouldn’t get quality education if the consolidation proposal was followed. Montague was asked what the vote was on the proposal. He replied that it was three to two in authorizing the recruiting com mittee to proceed with advertising for the combined position. HELEN KILBY also spoke in support of principal Wingfield. “I was a school teacher under Mr. Wingfield for two years and he supported me 100 percent on discipline...We can’t count on the** schools to discipline a child who is not disciplined at home.” She added that her three children had been well prepared academically to continue their education by going through the Rappahannock school system. “I don’t think we should go away from here thinking we have such poor education in Rappahannock. I think it’s pretty good.” “I don’t know what all the hullaballoo is about in the first place,” stated Granville Eastham. He maintained that having a meeting like Tuesday nights only hurt the image of the school system. “Since when do we challenge what the School Board does?” he asked. If a student wants a quality education, Eastham maintained, he can get it in Rappahannock as well as in Fairfax or anywhere else. If he doesn’t want it, nothing is going to give it to him. “I think two people can handle the system as it is now,” said Eastham. Montague was asked for a further clarification on the vote taken at the last meeting. Reading from the minutes, he said that Walter Masterson made a motion to advertise for the combined position, seconded by A.Y. Stokes. Arthlinda Quaintance and Paul Nichols voted nay, Masierson and Stokes voted aye and the chair also voted aye. Montague pointed out that if the county couldn’t find a person approved by the state to fill the combined position, then the state would appoint someone. “IT WOULD be very bad if the state sent us a superintendent,” claimed Board member Beverly Massie. She said it would be damaging to the system. Montague moved that the Board reconsider the action taken by the Board in authorizing advertising for the combined position. “I do this because at the time I voted “aye.” I thought there would be a significant savings.” After reexamining the figures, Montague said he had changed his mind and further felt that consolidation would harm the system. His motion to rescind the Board’s action passed, four to one, with Walter Masterson in opposition. Masterson moved that a search committee be allowed to look for a part-time superintendent and a part-time principal, noting that no one could be hired without action from the Board. His motion was defeated. The crowd left and the meeting moved to the library. At 11:30, when the Board had finished their agenda, Beverly Massie asked for further direction. “What is the Search Committee searching for?” she asked. MONTAGUE replied that the committee was only empowered to look for a full-time Superintendent. Mrs. Massie moved that an additional committee formed to study the possibilities of combining administration positions and asked that the press take note that this was being done for the sole purpose of effecting economies without reducing the quality of education. The motion passed unanimously, and Montague appointed Stokes, Nichols and Arthlinda Quaintance to form the Committee to Find Combinations.□ ly

Most county budgets being met From P**e 1 ** tion when she prepared her budget. For example, she said that the rent on her building went up, travel and payment reimbursements increased, and figures to cover her raise and raises for the rest of her office staff weren’t included. “WE HAVE a problem,” Luke responded. A certain amount had been budgeted out of county funds for the welfare office. “Are you running over? By 20 percent; by 30 percent?” “I don’t know. I can’t answer,” replied Mrs. Buntin. The main problem, she said is whether the state will allow her to make budget amendments. “It’s been the saving grace for many years. I need to reprogram certain elements and then I can stay within the budget. The problem is not with the total amount.” She said she had written state offices requesting answers and should have the information Luke wanted by the December Supervisor meeting. THE Supervisors rejected a request from the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection to study a land use tax system for the county. As an effort to preserve open space and promote agriculture “as a viable industry,” RLEP asked the Supervisors to instruct the Planning Commission to conduct a feasibility study of a differential tax assessment program. Luke said he understood that the county would need a Comprehensive Land Use Plan before such a program could be implemented. “I don’t think we’re quite ready for this,” responded Supervisor Wood. Luke added that the Planners are already facing two big jobs—the Comprehensive Plan review and update and the review of the Zoning and Subdivision ordinance. “WHEN do you think we’ll be ready for differential assessment?” Supervisor Butch Eastham asked Wood. “I can’t answer that question. When the taxes get too great or we’re liable to be run over by development, it might be time for it.” Speaking as a farmer, Wood said he didn’t think the county needed such a tax revision at present. Davis noted that implementing a differential tax would only shift the tax burden. “To a lot of older people on fixed incomes,” interjected Wood. Davis continued that RLEP’s proposed tax revision would only take the tax off the farmer’s land and put it on his house. He asked where the benefit would be in such action. “We ought to keep all our taxes New public hunting areas THE Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries and officials of the Georgia-Pacific Corporation have jointly announced that 17,492 acres of corporation owned land will be open to public access for the 1976 general hunting season. As a direct result of a memorandum of understanding between cooperating organizations, Virginia’s sportsmen will be permitted to hunt a number of designated tracts in four south Piedmont counties. The locations and combined acreages of the tracts are as follows: southeast Dinwiddie Comity, 7,211 acres; northwest Greensville County, 6,890 acres; northeast Brunswick Co., 3,033 acres; and a small tract of 358 acres in the western section of Sussex County. All of the land involved is located in that section of the Commonwealth where the four counties converge. Principal game species present are deer and quail. The tracts of land to be opened will be designated with the traditional Georgia-Pacific blue and white diamond-shaped signs and the Game Commission’s green-onwhite public hunting signs. The boundaries will be painted with international orange paint. As a direct result of this action by Georgia-Pacific, sportsmen may hunt this land without charge and without the usual company permits. Valid Virginia hunting licenses will be required and the Game Commission’s game warden staff will patrol the areas. HUNTERS must observe a corporation policy which prohibits overnight camping. On occasion, in the future, there may be timber cutting operations on several of the tracts. These will then be posted with red work area signs and must be treated by hunters as off-limit wildlife sanctuaries. Individual hunters utilizing the areas are urged to be careful with fires, to avoid littering the environment and to be respectful of gates, access roads, and adjacent landowners. Sportsmen utilizing public hunting areas are reminded that their conduct will largely govern the future of cooperative agreements in Virginia. Maps of the newly established hunting areas will be available at a date to be announced. □ GARDEN CLUB The Rappahannock County Garden Club will meet Wednesday, November 17 at 2 o’clock at Mrs. J.H.Waddell’s home “Hobby Hills” near Boston. Mrs. Frank Helbigis co-hostess. Mrs. Miriam Harris, who has recently returned from a tour of organic farms in Europe, will speak on organic gardening. □ HUNTERS REVIVAL There will be a Hunters’ Revival at the Gid Brown Bible Church Monday, November 15, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Wayne Thompson will be the speaker. Hunters and everyone else are welcome to attend. □ IN MEMORIAM In memory of our father and husband, Nelson F. Jenkins, who departed from this life four years ago, November 14, 1972.

THE Supervisors approved a pre-application by the Rappahannock Recreation Association for a $51,000 HUD grant for improvements to the pavilion site outside Washington. No county funds are involved. Also approved was an application for a Justice Department grant that would include three mobile radios, a 35 millimeter camera, a fingerprint kit and two metal detectors. According to Planning District 9’s criminal justice planner John Jones, the equipment is worth$3,950and would require a five percent cash match from Rappahannock of $198. “At five percent, I think we’re getting an awful lot for our money,” commented Sheriff Buntin. Jones explained that the items under consideration would normally have been included in next year’s budget, but had come in early. The Supervisors wanted to know if all the items were necessary, particularly the metal detectors. Commonwealth’s Attorney Davis noted that the judges are getting ‘‘awfully meticulous.” “They’re all a bit shakey,” said Buntin, and added that two judges had already asked for metal detectors. “It’s all good if the stuff is needed,” said Supervisor Wood. “But if it’s just going to sit here... I think five cents would be too much to pay for it.”—Daphne McCullough EARLY'S CARPET SALES & SERVICE ANNUAL FALL CARPET SALE LAST CHANCE!

Bugle correction The Bugler bungled! (a statement I would enjoy more if this time it wasn’t costly—as it is). He blew too hard and it came out too heavy. First prize for best costumes of ,a couple at the Bicentennial Ball is a $25 bond— not a $50 one. He also left out the work “particular” before the phrase “Sunday evening, November 21st,” when announcing the Film Festival. Adding that word makes the date clearer.

Landfill problems in Rappahannock From Page 3 tions governing a landfill operation were the same, whether the facility was owned privately or publicly. At this point, Luke stopped mentioning an executive session. He maintained that the correct procedure to follow would be to wait for “due process’’ and a decision on granting a special use permit from the Board of Zoning Appeals. “Then I suggest the Supervisors stay neutral and let the landowner back the Updikes in their request for the permit,” said Mrs. Helmer. “We can’t stay neutral,” responded Luke. Without the special use permit, there would be no landfill, no place for trash, the dumpsters would be removed and there would be no trash service at all, he said. The alternative is a public facility, but “we don’t want to get into condemnation,” Luke concluded. Carson Johnson again disagreed. Regardless of the site characteristics, if the land is available, away will be found to approve it, Johnson agrued. If the soil doesn’t have the minimum workable depth, then a trash mountain will be built. “That’s why I think the county should find the best location. If we have to spend $40,000 for trash disposal, let’s get our money’s-worth. In my opinion,” he added, “we’re not getting our money’s worth.” SUPERVISOR E. B. Wood noted that people, not the contractors, were responsible for the mess at the dumpster sites. ‘ ‘This contract is for three years at $32,600.16 per year,” said Luke. “We’re not paying any additional for the landfill. ” “What happens after the three year contract is up?” asked Patricia Helmer. The county can buy a landfill site in the meantime or contract with a company who will dispose of Rappahannock’s trash at a location outside of the county (“If they can find one,” interjected Davis.) or stay with the Updikes, answered Luke. If the price changed by the Updikes goes up drastically in three years, then the county will have to either pay their rates or have two landfills, one private and one public,'observed Mrs. Helmer. Luke disagreed with the assumption that the rates charged by the Updikes would necessarily increase drastically. He maintained that operating a landfill was a “good deal” for a contractor. The contractors’ initial land investment could be recouped after the life of the landfill was over by covering the site with soil applications, planting grass and then selling the property for grazing or home sites. Mrs. Helmer claimed that vegetation could be grown on a landfill site only after the area was covered with chemically treated sludge, residue from sewage disposal plants. Luke and Davis quickly disagreed, both maintaining that sludge treatment was not the only way, just the quickest. Supervisor Wood said he had told someone who asked him about the landfill that it wouldn’t be discussed at Thursday’s meeting. “I didn’t know it would be,” he said, adding that it hadn’t been on the agenda. MAKING a decision on the landfill is a “tremendous and unpopular task,” maintained Commonwealth’s Attorney Davis. The county has to proceed, he said, or the state will come in with a lawsuit. Davis claimed that if an executive session would help the Supervisors study the issue unimpaired, then “for god’s sake, let them do it.” Supervisor Clarence Baldwin said he talked to a number of “intelligent people” in his district—specifically mentioning attorney Jim Bill Fletcher—and as a result, he felt he had made the wrong decision in opting for a privately owned landfill. “I think I would change my vote on going with a private landfill. I don’t CULPEPERS NEWEST Line of PEWTER i i J i i 5 • Authentic Pewter Reproduction | • Rich in American History • Popular Classic Available Only at 118 N. Main Street Culpeper 825-0011 think we had enough input at the time.” Condemnation proceedings are expensive, noted Davis and suggested that if a decision is made to “go public,” that all negotiations be conducted in the utmost secrecy and privacy. The Supervisors then voted to retire to “private session,” without mentioning the landfill issue. According to Clerk Ned Jones, only the Extension Building in Madison was discussed, and Luke was authorized to negotiate with the other five counties who own < shares of the building with regard to disposal of the property. mmmmi—i — mm him bum — i Interested bidders examine the table of items displayed for the silent auction at the Homemakers Achievement Night program Monday in Flint Hill.

Notice NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF A PROPOSED TEMPORARY INCREASE IN RATES BY CENTRAL TELEPHONE COMPANY OF VIRGINIA Notice is hereby given to the public that Central Telephone Company of Virginia, on October 27, 1976, filed with the State Corporation Commission of Virginia an application requesting authority to place in effect for telephone service provided on and after November 27, 1976, a temporary surcharge, to remain in effect until such time as a complete investigation can be conducted, and a public hearing held, to determine the need for a permanent rate increase, if any. The temporary surcharge proposed by the Company, if allowed to become effective, would result in a 9.60% surcharge on existing rate schedule charges with the exception of intrastate toll, Wide Area Telephone Service, private line and coin telephone. In its application, Company states that this temporary surcharge would produce additional gross revenues, of $2,359806 on an annual basis and that such additional revenues would be separately accounted for on its books and records in order that Company could refund any amounts, together with interest, found excessive after a full investigation and public hearing to determine its need for a permanent rate increase. Company contends that it needs prompt temporary rate.relief because, among other things, it is unable to earn the rate of return authorized by the Commission in its last rate case due to (a) an overall increase in plant investment and an increased investment per telephone, which has led to greater depreciation charges and greater property taxes per revenue producing unit, (b) increases in other costs, not including capital costs, and(c) lower «mn expected intrastate toll revenue. Company requests that die proposed surcharge go into effect on November 27, 1976, without suspension. However, the Commission, has by order of November 1, 1976, suspended the effective date until January 1, 1977, pending an investigation by its Staff. A hearing will be held, commencing at 10:00 A.M., December 3, 1976, in the Commission’s Courtroom, Blanton Building, Richmond, Virginia. The purpose of the bearing will be to receive evidence from the Company and the Commission’s Staff regarding the Company’snee<j for a temporary rate increase prior to a complete investigation and public hearing.
