Rappahannock News, December 23, 1976

Volume XXVHI, Number 7 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, DECEMBER 23, 19?6- . POTEEN CENTS Landfill problem is discussed By Planning Commission By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH “I THINK we know where we stand on the landfill unless the Board changes its mind at the next meeting,” commented Rappahannock Planning Commission member and Supervisor Chairman Pete Luke at last Wednesday’s Planning Commission meeting. “I’m sticking with a private operation. There’s no money for the county to buy any land.’’ Long-range planning for solid waste management was on the agenda for the meeting, the first since July, and the Commissioners didn’t appear to be too sure of what was expected from them. The decision of the Board of Zoning Appeals to deny Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Updike a special use permit to operate a privately-owned landfill outside of Sperryville was a main topic of discussion. fanning oaumgaraner presented a synopsis of the BZA action for the Commission. The overwhelming part of the evidence presented at the hearing was against having a landfill at the Sperryville location, said Baumgardner, and no one other than the applicant appeared in favor of the request. The BZA ruling “put the problem back in the hands of the Supervisors for resolution.” “The trash is the Updike’s property,” said Planning Commission Chairman H.S. Barksdale.“It’s up to them to get busy and find a place to put it.” Luke replied that the Updikes were already looking and that he had given them the names of two or three people suggested by Supervisor Clarence Baldwin, who might have suitable property available for lease. But, said Luke, a special use permit would still be necessary, even for leased property. He maintained that the same objections raised by neighboring property owners at the BZA hearing, of possible water contamination, would be given, the same petitions against the request would be presented, and the BZA would again deny the special use permit request. “I DIDN’T get the impression... that if a place was suitable, the BZA wouldn’t take it under consideration pretty seriously,” said Chairman Herbert Barksdale. He insisted that if a satisfactory place for a landfill could be found, ‘‘not down in a creek”, the applicant could get a permit. Luke charged that the opinion of the VPI soil scientist cited at the meeting was not really valid since the man was an agricultural soil expert, not a heavy construction specialist. ‘‘He went down 54 inches. He didn’t know what’s there three feet down.” The special use permit was, in actuality, only a request for the opportunity to make a final determination on the tract’s suitability for a landfill, Luke claimed. The Division of Solid Waste Management and Vector Control required that the permit be issued before conducting further soil tests on the land which would have included excavations with a backhoe to determine soil conditions three and four feet down. On the basis of the information obtained in this manner, the Division would then have ruled oir the parcel’s suitability for a landfill. By refusing to issue the special use permit, the BZA took the decision away from the authorized body, Luke said.

And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the citj of Nazareth into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; ...... To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. . And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. AND THERE WERE in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid. ...... And the angel said unto them, Fear not; for, behold, bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. . _ .. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. AND SUDDENLY there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth; peace, good will toward men.—The Gospel According to St. Luke. Youivsters enjoyed the Rappahannock Library Christmas party. Davis says he did advise the Board COMMONWEALTH’S Attorney George Davis dropped by the office this week to register a complaint about the echtonal in last week’s issue of the News, cnticizing his actions in the Board of Supervisors’ unsuccessful attempt (thus far) to adopt an ordinance banning loaded guns in vehicles. The ordinance that was adopted was ruled invalid when the first case under its provisions was brought, on grounds that it was improperly worded and enacted without being duly advertised or without a proper public hearing. The News editorial suggested that if the ordinance had not been adopted legally, then the Supervisors had been the victim of bad legal advice from the Commonwealth’s Attorney. . . . . Davis says he did, indeed, advise the Supervisors, “both at their meetings and in between meetir«s,” of proper legal procedures. He said that when the Game Warden appeared before the Supervisors asking them to follow the state code on loaded guns in vehicles, “I advised that it wasn’t a state law, merely an enabling act for local option. I advised that that was not the way to enact an ordinance, but the Game Warden insisted that he wanted the state ordinance published and acted on. After the meeting, I told the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors that proper procedures weren’t followed, and I asked for a conference to go over the details. According to Davis, his repeated efforts to have such a conference, with the Game Warden present, were unsuccessful. “THEY have not been to my office, even after the state enabling act was published—as a legal notice of the Supervisors’ intention to adopt an ordinance. I said to the chairman, ‘You published a state law, that’s not a local ordinance,’ The chairman said that’s the way the Warden wanted it.” When the matter came up for action at the Supervisors’ August meeting, George Davis continued, “I specifically told them, ‘You do not have a proper ordinance that can be legally enacted, and furthermore, the Warden is not getting what the Warden thinks he’s gett ing, l saia it vYuuiu uc in4/uaou/it for me to prosecute anyone on the ordinance they were adopting. I told them, ‘You haven’t followed my advice; it’s not a legal ordinancc.’ n Davis said he then urged again ! that the Game Warden come to his office. “I told him it was AuI gust and we had plenty of time to 1 get the thing right before hunting season. The Warden insisted he had what he wanted.” Davis stated again that he had warned the Supervisors he couldn’t prosecute anyone under the ordinance as it was enacted—“I told the Game Warden and the Chairman (of the Board).” THE Commonwealth’s Attorney 1 noted that the ordinance published | as a legal advertisement in the I Rappahannock News had even inI eluded the preamble, “Be it enI acted by the General Assembly...” I What was published was merely 1 the enabling act, he said, “and anyway, the Siq>ervisors can’t enact a state ordinance—they can only act on local laws.” “I even questioned why this language was published. I specifically advised it was not in proper form, was not properly published. And I still can’t get a conference with the Game Warden,” said Davis. The Commonwealth’s Attorney went on to comment on game laws and hunting in general: “Personally, and in spite of the pop ular wishes of hunters, I’ve said before I think we should limit hunting to the bow and arrow, and I still think so. As it is, they|re using high-powered ammunition which can kill at two miles.” Davis thinks the best way to accomplish what the Board of Supervisors want, and what the Game Warden wants, is to adopt state enabling legislation already on the books that prohibits hunting within 100 yards from a public highway. “I still want an intelligent local ordinance.. .that would be legally enforceable,” Davis asserted. “I’ve told the Board that there are other acts involved, other than the ones mentioned by the Game Warden, that should be considered.” AS THINGS now stand, Davis said, “I assure you that an ordinance conforming to the state statutes will be put before the Board at its next meeting.” At the same time, however, George Davis says the two ordinances—not one—that the Game Warden wants adopted are contradictory, “and when this happens, the courts always find in favor of the accused according to the ordinance which is most favorable to him.” t or wnaiever reasons, uic ibling legislation passed by the General Assembly is contradictory, Davis insisted, and he had two sample ordinances drawn up to illustrate his contention. One states that “It is unlawful for any person to transport, possess or carry a loaded shotgun or loaded rifle in any vehicle on any public street, road or highway.” But the wording on the other ordinance says, “It is unlawful for any person to carry or have in his possession while on any part of a public highway within Rappahannock County, Virginia, a loaded rifle or loaded shotgun when such person is not authorized to hunt on the private property on both sides of the highway along which he is standing or walking. The ordinance then goes on to add, “This ordinance shall not apply to persons carrying loaded rifles or loaded shotguns in mov ing verucies. # . Davis thinks an old existing enabling act would do better (Section 29-144.5, under General Game and Fish Laws), which prohibits hunting “or attempting to hunt within 100 yards of a road. “I HAVE recommended this in particular, and I even tried to explain this to a previous Game Warden,” George Davis said. As to the part of the News editorial which questioned why Davis didn’t advise the Supervisors of their right to adopt an emergency ordinance which would have applied to the current hunting season, Davis insisted that he could not “legally advise then that there was a legal emergency, calling for special action.” “An emergency has to be stated in the body of the act,” he said, “and it has to be exactly what it says—an emergency. I would feel I would have been subjected to ridicule by other members of the bar and the court if I had tried to prosecute such an ordinance as an emergency.”—Ray Dilley □ Editor’s Note We appreciate the interest and response from the public endorsing last week’s editorial.

Hill, Commissioner of the Division of Motor Vehicles. This means that about ten per cent of thethree-and a-half million vehicles registered in Virginia have been issued bicentennial tags. “We are currently selling over 5.000 plates each month,” Hill said. “When the tags were introduced in 1975, we hoped to sell 100.000 of them. Needless to say, we are delighted with public response.” Designed to commemorate the Independence Bicentennial in Virginia, the reflectorized tags are valid for five years, or until December 31, 1981. They feature a profile of George Washington surrounded by 13 stars and carry a $5 fee in addition to the usual annual registration fees. Sales of the commemorative license plates have already netted nearly a million and a half dollars in additional revenue for the State’s highway maintenance and construction fund. □ FIRE, RESCUE The Washington Rescue Squad carried Janies Bowen of Warrenton from the Rappahannock Jail to Warren Memorial Hospital December 15.

Right turn law effective January 1 THE coining of the new year will mean a dramatic change in the driving habits of Virginia motorists. Beginning January 1, drivers in Virginia can make a right turn on a red light after coming to a complete stop and yielding to all other cars and pedestrians. The right turn on red will be permitted at all intersections in the state unless there is a clearly-marked sign stating “NO TURN ON RED.” The new law was passed by the 1976 session of the Virginia General Assembly to help motorists save time and gasoline (estimated savings in gasoline would exceed three million gallons yearly) and to comply with the Uniform Vehicle Code (most states, including neighboring West Virginia and North Carolina, now allow right turns on red). Extensive studies conducted in Virginia before the passage of the new law indicated no difference in either the frequency or severity of accidents where right turns on red are permitted. In fact, there was a slight decrease in accident potential at the intersections permitting right turn on red. THE Highway Safety Division urges all drivers to take advantage of the savings in time and gasoline by using the new law. And the Division recommends the following steps for making a safe right turn on red: 1. Come to a complete stop at the red light. When you are behind another turning vehicle, never proceed without first coming to a complete stop. 2. Make sure there is not a “NO TURN ON RED” sign posted at the intersection. 3. Check to see that no cars are coming from your left or from across the intersection from you. 4. Make sure there are no pedestrians crossing the intersection. 5. If there are no cars or pedestrians in the roadway, turn right and go on your way. The Highway Safety Division of Virginia says the new law, properly observed, can be safe for pedestrians and motorists. The Division urges pedestrians to be alert to the new law and to be watchful for cars turning the corner. □ LEGAL NOTICE VIRGINIA: IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY CLARA CARPENTER Complainant vs. HEIRS OF REUBEN BAILEY Defendants In Chancery 2825 ORDER OF PUBLICATION The object of this suit is to effect partition of certain real estate situate and fronting on the east and west sides of State Highway Route 645 in Jackson Magisterial District, Rappahannock County, Virginia, containing seventeen acres, more or less, of which Reuben Bailey died, seized and possessed.

Twelfth night end of Yule Season On the twelfth day of Christmas, some celebrants throw firecrackers. Others dive underwater to retrieve a golden crucifix. Twelfth Night, or Epiphany— January 6—marks the end of the Christmas holiday season. It is celebrated with a variety of customs and ceremonies throughout the Christian world. In the United States, Christmas greens are burned on Epiphany, the National Geographic Society says. Swimmers Blessed An unusual Epiphany ritual is the blessing of the Greek sponge Rappahannock cheerleaders boost the home team. Wit mm ' Rejoice! It’s Christmas. During this holiday of heart warming thoughts we wish you peace and happiness. Thanks for your support. i iRappahamuirk Nrom P. O. Box 38 Wa*hinfion, Va. clivers at Tarpon Springs, Florida. The bishop throws his gold crucifix into the water to signify the baptism of Christ. Young men dive after the cross; whoever retrieves it is specially blessed. Latin Americans consider Epiphany both a solemn religious festival and the beginning of the pre-Lenten carnival season. Mexicans salute Twelfth Night with firecrackers, masked revelry feasting, and candlelight processions. In Christian tradition, whatever the form of observance, Epiphany, or “appearance,” commemorates the three proofs of Christ’s divinity which occurred on that date: the visit of the Three Wise Men to the infant Jesus; His baptism; and the first miracle, changing water to wine for wedding guests at Cana. Even early Christians apparently celebrated Epiphany on the twelfth day of Christmas. During the Middle Ages, the occasion prompted plays staged in churches. But solemn observances largely disappeared in the bawdy atmosphere of Elizabethan England. Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” reflects the merry mood. The play probably was first presented in a command performance at Whitehall Palace on January 6, 1601, when Queen Elizabeth entertained a distinguished Italian guest, the Duke of Bracciano. A popular tradition was to bake a Twelfth Night cake. A bean, coin, or china figure was baked inside the rich “cake of kings.” Whoever found the prize was king for the day. Sometimes the king picked a queen and ordered everyone to drink and dance all night. Royal Garbage Fight Few, however, could rival the wild court fetes of France’s King Francis I. In 1521, the high-spirited king learned about a nearby Twelfth Night party where a courtier had been made bean king. King Francis jokingly decided to challenge his royal rival and with his court followers besieged the house. Revelers inside counterattacked by throwing “a prodigious quantity of snowballs, eggs and apples.” In the melee, a burning log thrown out the window hit the king in the face. Though seriously wounded, King Francis refused to punish the offender because he blamed himself for leading the hijinks. One historian reports that the king grew a beard to cover his scar, thus popularizing beards at Court. □ f r Christmas ^Wishes Cheerio j| and away J we go... bringing good cheer to our many triends.

Coast Guard cutter Taney, homeported in Portsmouth. He attended the University of Richmond, and joined the Navy in July 1975. The Taney rescued three fishermen of the sinking 65 ft. shrimp boat Lady Eva. Taney responded to Lady Eva’s distress call, while on Ocean Weather Station Hotel some 250 miles northeast of the Virginia Capes. Lady Eva was enroute to Solomons Island, Md. from Houma, La. when rough weather and seas pounded her until she started to leak badly. In spite of the poor weather conditions, the three crewmembers of the Lady Eva were rescued safely, although the shrimp boat sank later that night. □ VPI course The first annual short course for horse enthusiasts will be held on the Virginia Tech campus here March 17-19, Virginia Tech’s Extension Division has announced.

Home at last so sweetly sleeping on the Savior gently breast Where there is no pain or sorrow There they find eternal rest. We lost our dear companions And our loss is hard to bear. We miss their touch and gentle voice. Their forms no longer there Beside the window watching where they used to wait. And we pray God they watched now for us at Heaven’s gate.

Landfill problem is discussed From Page 1 Luke also maintained that issuing a special use permit for a rented tract of land intended for landfill use might result in a “very conflict of interest situation” but he didn’t elaborate. Instead, he asked that anyone willing to lease land for a landfill operation contact Pete Luke or Community Trash. “Why ask for a 34-acre use permit when only five acres are suitable (for a landfill)?” asked Commissioner Walter Masterson, in reference to the VPI soil scientist’s opinion that only some five acres of the property proposed for a landfill by the Updikes could possibly serve that purpose. He suggested that if the Updikes found a tract, no matter how large, that contained two acres of suitable soil, that they ask for a permit to cover just those two acres. He also suggested that the Updikes publicize the amount they would be willing to pay to lease appropriate property in order to create a competitive atmosphere. “LEASE or buy, it doesn’t make any difference,” said Luke. The decision of the Supervisors only related to a private operation rather than a public one. It didn’t matter how the ownership of the property was handled. He again returned to the BZA decision. “I’m not sure the BZA would have given the permit even if the property was suitable,” Luke said, adding that the decision was based on citizen complaints. Barksdale disagreed. “I think they would have given the permit if the site was more suitable.” Luke still insisted that the BZA decision was a subjective one, made from an emotional viewpoint rather than an engineering one. Commissioner A. Y. Stokes suggested that the Commission begin pinpointing possible suitable locations for a landfill, in case the decision was made to pursue a public facility, even though Rappahannock County does not have the Comprehensive Plan that Luke maintained is necessary to obtain Federal funding for land acquisition. BAUMGARDNER noted that every jurisdiction is required by the state to have a solid waste management plan, actually a piece of a Comprehensive Plan, that could be Flickering candlelight.. .a scent of Christinas greens.. .the nearness of dear ones holidays bright We hope to continue serving you in the future. make the Martin Furniture Co. Inc. 125 E. Davis St. Phone 825-1885 Culpeper, Va. used to obtain grant money. ' The sites pinpointed by the Commission could also be used for work towards a private operation, said Stokes. The county could make a plan for solid waste management without considering a grant at all, added Barksdale. Rappahannock would not be losing anything with having a plan with the ultimate objective of the county owning the land, said Baumgardner, since grants take three or four years to secure. Luke said that the Commission had all the tools available to them to begin locating possible landfill sites with maps in enough detail that show house sites and landfill criteria from the state. Masterson also suggested that the wording on the special use permit section of the county ordinance could be changed to allow for a type on “contract zoning,” a suggestion offered by Zoning Administrator Evan McNear. But in the final analysis, it may be necessary to go outside of the county to buy or lease land, said Masterson. “The headwaters of several rivers rise in Rappahannock. We may end up contaminating. ..” “Everything,” finished Luke. “I appreciate what you’re saying.” He agreed to work with Baumgardner, taking the soil maps and state landfill criteria, “sticking in pins at possible suitable sites.” But, he cautioned, the ongoing work could not become general public knowledge or “we’ll create all sorts of backfires.” The rest of the members agreed that only the Commission should be informed of Luke’s and Baumgardner’s progress.

Landfill problem is discussed From Page 20 subdivision action in the county during the last five months. Since July, the only land division was *26 acres divided into two parcels by Oscar Lingren. Masterson added that 45 new dwelling permits had been issued since January, an unusually low 'number, according to the Commissioner of Revenue. Two new subdivisions are under consideration, said Barksdale, but no permits had yet been applied for. One, located near Flint Hill included 80 acres proposed for five-acre lots. “I heard they planned 38 houses,” said Luke. Barksdale said that figure must include plans for some adjoining acreage that the developer was negotiating to buy. Luke and Baumgardner commented on a walking tour of the Rappahannock ski area that they had gone on following an RLEP meeting with the president of the corporation that owns the area. At the meeting, James A. Moore presented plans that included a year-round operation featuring a summer bob-sled type ride, horse back riding, tennis, swimming, farmers market and craft fairs. He also mentioned a possibility of condominium development on the area’s 100 acre mountain top tract. “Have they got trees growing on the ski slopes?” asked A. Y. Stokes. Baumgardner replied that they had and added that if nothing is done, the slopes would probably be beyond repair in another year. “ALL the bad things that you can imagine are happening there,” said Luke, mentioning erosion, gullies, rusting equipment and “buildings going to pot.” In response to a question about the proposed condominiums, Luke said Moore intended that any houses constructed would be built in such a way as to be unsuitable for year-round family living. “Wait a minute,” responded Barksdale. “I’ve seen people living where no self-respecting pig would live.” In addition, Luke said Moore planned to include requirements in the deeds that the property be available for rent for seven months out of the year. Then the company could sell the property to someone else with another way of doing it, warned Baumgardner. He added that Moore’s plan called for requirements on using the 100 acres to be formal - ized after the ski area’s year round operation was running. Then the property would be sold to a developer who would be compelled to follow the plan. Roger Batcheldor appeared before the Commissioners to request they inform Vepco that the company is acting in violation of county ordinances in purchasing rights-of-way through Rappahannock. Some legal question still exists as to whether the power company can construct lines through the county when such action is opposed. The Commission should place Vepco on record as to the illegality of their actions, Batcheldor maintained. Luke agreed to draft a letter but said that no correspondence would be mailed without the advice of Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis. BAUMGARDNER suggested that the county explore the possibility of locating a landfill underneath powerlines, should all efforts to block Vepco’s plans fail. Barksdale agreed and Luke volunteered to look into the matter. Rapp Owings reported to the Commission on the status of the Master Plan for the Youth Recreation Center. Capt. Bill Freeze and Pete Luke are in the process of applying for a HUD grant to finance plans for a junior Olympic sized swimming pool, a shuffle board court, a hard surfaced multi-purpose court, double tennis courts and additional picnic tables. The grant, said Owings, is the only way of completing the facility in the foreseeable future. (At die December 16 meeting of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission, anA-95 Review of Rappahannock’s application for a HUD Community Development grant was approved.) ©asasssaad May we take this time to send you all our brightest greetings for the Yuletide season, and our sincere thanks for your kind support.

IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our father, grandfather and great-grandfather Herbert Leake on his birthday, December 17. It was in the month of June, we stood by his open grave And watched them lower our father whom we would have given our lives to save. We knew we could not awaken him, that silent soul in clay. So we laid our hearts beside him and sadly walked away. When days are dark and lonely and everything goes wrong, We seem to hear him whisper, Cheer up and carry on. To those of you who still have a father, treat him with tender care. For you never know how much you miss him until he’s no longer there. Love his children Hollie, Buster, Vernon and Roy Grandchildren and GreatGrandchildren IN MEMORIAM In memory of Brown Settle at Christmas time. This is the fourth Christmas without you. Another sad one for us when you were not far away but near. The last Christmas we had together was joyful, happy and gay. Since God knew what the future held, He must have planned it that way. We wish you a Merry Christmas. We know there is no more pain. So looking back in tenderness along the path we trod, We cherish the years we had with you and leave the rest to God. From Daughters, Son and Wife IN MEMORIAM To our wonderful and loving father Lloyd Poe, who entered his eternal rest on July 7, 1976 and George Gollaher, who entered his on August 10, 1975. You both been sadly missed since you entered your eternal rest. We both have lost our two best friends Who were always there to lend us that helping hand. Christmas will be lonely without your two smiling faces. But we have peace knowing God has taken you to better places. We know your love will be shining in the stars above For you both gave us everlasting love. We love you love you both Daddy Dears And we hope you will always be near. Your Christmas will be something special With all the angels and extra tinsel. Your three little granddaughters send you a special prayer And lots of love for you both to share. Your loving Randolph, Merilee, Lisa, Melissa and Sherry Successful year The Ladies Auxiliary to the Washington Fire Department and Rescue Squad report another successful year in the Thrift Shop which is operated at the fire house from spring through the fall season.
