Buntin, Davis clash Dispute erupts over mileage compensation By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH A CONFLICT between the Rappahannock Sheriff’s office and the Commonwealth’s Attorney over law enforcement practices and allegedly excessive mileage charges came out in the open at last Friday’s special meeting of the Board of Supervisors, after discussion in a previous executive session. Under state law, it is the responsibility of the Commonwealth’s Attorney to advise the Board of Supervisors on any payments from the county that he deems unjust or improper. George Davis exercised this obligation and advised the Supervisors against paying a specific mileage charge from one of the Rappahannock Sheriff’s deputies, and then held up the December mileage checks for all four of the county deputies. After an earlier executive session, the Supervisors voted to disallow a mileage reimbursement to Martin Orfila for an approximately 500-mile trip to investigate the rustling of a bull from the Flint Hill area in November. Sheriff William Buntin had instructed the deputy to go to Pennsylvania, believing that the bull had been taken there. Davis told Orfila not to go, maintaining that the deputy would find no evidence that Davis could use in prosecuting tbe case. Orfila went but found nothing, and subsequently, Davis advised the Board against paying the 15-cents per mile charges for the 500-mile drive. The SupdVvisors followed his advice, but discovered later that Davis had never discussed the matter with Buntin. At Friday’s meeting in open session, Davis criticized the sheriff’s department’s alleged “patrolling practices.’’ Patrolling the county is the responsibility of the state police and mileage fees for such practices will not be reimbursed by the state compensation board, maintained Davis. He questioned mileage figures listed on the required state forms, for “checking county businesses.’’ SUPERVISOR Chairman Pete Luke maintained that Buntin had received requests in writing from local businesses for this service. Davis argued that the sheriff’s deputies were patrolling areas where no businesses existed. Going only to places of busi ness would mean that large areas of the county wouldn’t be checked unless there was a warrant to be served or a complaint answered, explained Bun tin. Luke added that policing the county was a proper and allowable function of the sheriff’s department, and he maintained that policing was what Buntin and his deputies were engaged in, not patrolling. Davis insisted that policing wasn’t a service if the businessses weren’t aware of the practice. “We can’t stop and put a note under the door of every business we check,” countered Buntin, noting in particular the large number roadside shops and stands in Sperry ville. Davis said he had received complaints from Jimmy Falls, a busiSee Pace 7 Landfill sent back to BZA THE Rappahannock Board of Supervisors scheduled last Friday’s special meeting for the purpose of formulating an amendment to the subdivision ordinance. They announced at the regular meeting in January that they intended to move towards rezoning suitable property for landfill purposes, and Friday’s work session was called to develop an amendment that would allow the Supervisors to issue a conditional special use permit to control landfill activities. Instead, the Board reversed itself and voted to send the special use permit application from E. B. and Ruth Updike back to the Board of Zoning Appeals. They decided to ask the BZA to re consider the request for the landfill on Route 522 outside Sperryville, in light of new soil information received since the application first came before the Board and was denied. Soil studies done by the District Director of Solid Waste Management R. H . Foreman with a back hoe on December 22 indicate that the property may be much better than originally anticipated, it was reported. In addition, Supervisor Chairman Pete Luke noted that the State Water Control Board was scheduled to run drainage tests on the tract sometime this week. All of the tests are being conducted at the Updikes’ expense. The Board of Supervisors sho It’s been cold! LINES from a couple of old Hit Parade tunes might well be adopted as the theme song for the winter of 1976-77. “Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” or “Button Up Your Overcoat.” Either i# applicable. The weather station at Washington reported a low of minus 4 degrees, and snowfall measured six inches—four one time and two the next. Last Friday night’s sleet storm played havoc with traffic and Sunday night’s high winds felled a powerline in Flint Hill. The wind, combined with the near zero temperature, made living mighty uncomfortable. The consensus of Woody Tharp of Castleton was that the world must be upside-down. “It’s 40 " degrees in Alaska and zero here.” One farmer reported that he had to thaw out his water pump one morning and in the afternoon his pumphouse burned down. “Whether it was a spark or an electrical malfunction, I don’t know”, said Henry Hudson, “but that’s what happened at my place. In addition, before I could get some hay or straw to cover the pump to prevent further freezing, the pump froze again, and when the plumber came to work on it, he slipped, fell, broke some ribs and ended up in the hospital. A CALL to the Potomac Edison office in Luray Wednesday brought the assurance that there presently is no electrical energy problem. “We are asking our customers on a voluntary basis to curtail nonessential usage. The demand has been heavy but the situation has eased somewhat. We are taking precautionary measures to avert any serious trouble,” said a company spokesman. Meanwhile, the temperatures still dip and drop; the ice skating is good, as well as the sledding; the children had a short midwinter vacation from school due to the snows, but, it could be worse. The past few mild winters spoiled everybody. □ uld have the power of granting of permits and control over those things that affect the health and welfare of the public, began Luke, opening the landfill discussion. He specifically mentioned hospitals, schools and landfills as properly belonging under the control of the Supervisors rather than “an appointed body,” apparently referring to the BZA. COMMONWEALTH’S Attorney George Davis said he was bothered by the specific reference to health and safety, maintaining that the entire body of regulations making up the county’s ordinances were required to relate to these two items. “You can retain for yourself the right to grant all special use permits and not even have a Board of Zoning Appeals he advised. This was not the Supervisors’ intention or desire, Luke responded. He went on to read a letter from Davis to the Board, formally notifying the Supervisors of their responsibility, under state See Pace 2 ~ m - niiir.t This wintery scene is at Rudasill’s Mill between Five Forks and Woodville.

MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Frozen technology EVERYBODY went around last fall predicting it would be a hard winter, and they were certainly right. Hard isn’t the word for it! There just isn’t any proper word for it. It is interesting to observe, nevertheless, about how our technological society is scrambled by cold weather. Pipes burst, furnaces stop working, the electricity goes off, roads are blocked, pumps freeze up, cars won’t start. The people who manage best are those with wood stoves or fireplaces, draw wells, kerosene lamps and privies—and the “progressives” can say what they want, Rappahannock is fortunate, not unfortunate, in the number of households it has which are equipped with these rural amenities. There are some bureaucrats who go around and label homes like this “substandard.” Households with a more realistic grasp of the facts of life, we’d call them. There are other progressive types who are undismayed by all calamities because they are confident of “technological breakthroughs.” The world is running out of oil, but they’re sure that everybody can keep on being just as wasteful as they are now because technology will find a solution. The world is approaching a crisis in elec trical power, but these people are certain that technology will solve everything—even though nobody has figured out yet what to do with radiological wastes with a dangerous “half life” of hundreds of years but which are stored in containers that won’t last more than about 25. THESE are the same people who don’t worry about polluted streams and ground water, because they are absolutely dead certain that some sanitary technician somewhere, somehow, in some undefined future, will discover a “technological breakthrough” that will solve this most basic requirement of a human habitation. They can believe these things if they want to, but thus far the “breakthroughs” have been awful slow in coming. Indeed, it begins to appear that in many fields, technology has been pushed farther than it should have been, and that the solution lies in taking some sensible steps backward, rather than seeking more “progress.” Ask those warm, watered, comfortable people in those “substandard” houses out there in the country. They may not have television, but watching a crackling log can be a lot more entertaining, as well as educational. □ RAPP CHATS By RAP OWINGS Extension Agent, Agriculture CORN PRODUCERS are invited to the Area No-Till Corn School Friday, January 28, Graves Mountain Lodge, Syria.

Horsemen interested in competitive trail riding are invited to participate in the North American Trail Riders Conference next Saturday, January 22, Graves Mountain Lodge, Syria, Virginia. Topics will include veterinary judging, horsemanship judging, horse and rider conditioning, ride management, and trail riding. Instructors will include Bill Throgmorton and Fred Kirlaham, noted trail ride authorities from California and Carl White, Equine Specialist, Cornell University. □ Landfill sent back From Pace 1 law, for the disposal of the county’s solid waste. No such plan for solid waste disposal has been devised for Rappahannock County, the letter concluded. “We’ve stood on the principle of private ownership (of a landfill) for the last year,” said Luke. A number of alternatives have been considered but so far, the only possible solution to the county’s trash problem has been the property on Route 522, he maintained. This tract is the only land that has been found with an owner willing to sell for landfill purposes. “There’s no easy way out of the dilemma,” concluded Luke, “We’ll get complaints whether we lease, go private or go public.” The Updikes’ trash business is a small operation and would require only two to four trips by a trash truck per week into the landfill, said Luke, discounting charges that the operation would cause heavy traffic loads on the access road. LUKE said he had met informally the night before with Planning Commission Chairman Herbert Barksdale, Zoning Administrator Evan McNear and BZA Chairman J. M. Gardner. They had discussed the landfill issue and decided that the possibility of drawn out litigation on the part of adjoining property owners may nullify the use of the Route 522 site, even if it was approved. “Could it be used while under litigation?” Luke asked Davis. Davis replied that it couldn’t. Supervisor J. R. Latham commented that the same restraints would apply whether landfill property was leased or bought outright, private operation or public. Davis suggested that the Board continue with the initial plan and begin the rezoning process to establish the landfill. When asked again by Luke as to the law regarding the possible use of the Route 522 property if neighbors brought suit to block the landfill’s establishment, Davis said that anyone can litigate any action the county takes. “I’m not going to give you a shotgun answer without the facts. You’ve got to ask a sensible question before I can give you a legal answer,” Davis continued, adding that he would need to know under what law the injunction was requested. The Supervisors can act to rezone, creating a new district for a sanitary landfill and then, in an amendment to the county ordinance, provide for a special use permit to be issued by either the Supervisors or the BZA, advised Davis. Under current regulations, only the BZA can issue a permit in an agricultural zone for a landfill without first rezoning. HOW does the Board get around the problem of going on a man’s land and making tests for soil suitability to determine exactly where the rezoning should occur, asked Luke. He noted that a property owner opposed to a landfill was certainly not going to give permission for the county to test. Davis wasn’t sure but said that * he assumed the county would have certain rights of eminent domain if the decision was made to go into the trash business. “I’m willing to let the whole matter drop and when the citizens want to, they can petition the Board for action,” stated Luke. “I’m getting out of this.” Planning Commission Chairman Herbert Barksdale agreed that the landfill problem had gotten to be “a pretty hot issue; I don’t loiow if we can solve it right away or not.” He suggested that the Supervisors appoint a committee, with one man from each of the county’s five districts, to work “quietly” towards finding a site to lease. Luke responded that he didn’t think that suggestion would work, that such action would only be postponing the problem. Nothing else is working, countered Barksdale. SUPERVISOR H.B. Woods added that he thought someone could be found willing to rent property to be used as a landfill for three years,' temporarily, while the county sought funds to buy a site. “I think it would be a long time before the Updikes would ever get to dump a load of trash on that particular property,” maintained Barksdale, in reference to court appeals process action that may be taken by adjoining land owners to block the use of the Route 522 site. “Isn’t it up to the Updikes to dispose of the trash whether we have a landfill or not?” asked Supervisor Clarence Baldwin. Davis answered that he had insisted on the inclusion in the trash contract of a clause stating that the refuse was the Updikes’ responsibility after it was placed in the dumpsters. Are the BZA members refusing to reconsider the case? asked Latham. Luke said he had received the impression from Admiral Josef Gardner that the BZA’s decision was final. There’s not much possibility that the BZA would consider, added Barksdale. “I wouldn’t bet on that too much.” He noted that the denial only applied to the specific site on Route 522. “Was it turned down the first time because the site was unsuitable or was the courthouse full of people?” asked Supervisor Butch Eastham. Davis explained that the present case was no precedent as far as the BZA was concerned, that each case stood on its own. “I think if they had the depths of that land...they would have approved,” maintained Barksdale. LUKE criticized the denial of the permit, charging that the BZA decision was made on the basis of a 54-inch boring with a hand auger. By denying the permit, the BZA See Pace 3 Letters to the editor Words of praise Editor: I tell myself this is a $6.50 I can save, having no involvement with Washington, Va. or the county. BUT—I like the paper. I do a public information job for the Federal Government, usually subscribe to one or two county papers, changing from section to section of the country, to maintain awareness of local concerns, local interests, especially in social services matters. Should add that another reason for renewing is that I frequently send The Little Fox off to a grandson in Fairport, New York. He has enough snow to appreciate this week’s snowman. So, here’s my renewal for another year. K. D. Editor’s note—Notes like this from subscribers., sure do help our morale.

F 0 X Delegate reports from Richmond By DEL. D. F. SLAUGHTER, JR. THE General Assembly opened its 1977 session last week with an address by Governor Godwin and many proposals on the financial situation of the state, which is facing a possible deficit of approximately $100 million by the end of the current budget year on June 30, 1977 It is my hope that the legislature will find ways to avoid the possible deficit without increasing state income or sales tax and still be able to maintain essential governmental services. As the session progresses I will discuss in some detail the various proposals and the state’s financial outlook. The financial questions will undoubtedly dominate the 1977 session. The question of crime, law enforcement, prison facilities and the administration of criminal justice is at least an equally important issue. Crime, especially the commission of serious, violent crimes continues to be the most immediate and critical domestic problem af fecting the people in Virginia as well and the rest of the nation. I have introduced a bill to provide that persons sentenced to the penitentiary in the future for murder, rape, robbery, arson and kidnapping would not be eligible for parole until one-half of the sentence has been served, instead of one-fourth of the sentence as under present law. I introduced this bill in 1976 and at that time it was defeated in committee. I have also introduced a bill providing that persons sentenced to life imprisonment shall be eligible for parole after serving 25 years, instead of 15 years as provided under present law. GOVERNOR Godwin has recommended a mandatory sentence of ten years without suspension, probation or parole for the manufacturer, importer or wholesale distributor of the more dangerous drugs as well as additional mandatory sentences for escaped felons and repeated crimes of violence. Bland music contest The Rappahannock Lions Club has announced that the annual Bland Music Scholarship contest will be held at the Rappahannock Elementary School on Sunday, February 20, at 3:30 p.m. Any boy or girl attending elementary, junior high or high school may be a contestant. Separate contests will be held for vocal and instrumental entries with identical awards for each division. The contest is held in honor of James A. Bland, composer and singer, who wrote the song which became the Virginia State Anthem, “Carry Me Back To Ole Virginny.” Winners of the Rappahannock contest will receive $50 savings bonds and the right to compete for State awards. First place State winners, both vocal and instrumental, will win a $1000 scholarship to further their music education. Second place winners receive $500 scholarships, third $250, and fourth, fifth and sixth places win $100 cash awards. Additional information may be obtained from Mrs. Bomberger at Rappahannock High School or Colonel Nels Parson, Washington. □ Landfill sent back From Pace 2 took the duty of evaluating the site properly out of the hands of the Bureau of Solid Waste management. “It’s the same old story of the state legislature adopting laws with ill-advised provisions,” said Davis , pointing out that the state won’t inspect a site without a use permit from the local governing body while die BZA won’t issue a permit without a site evaluation by the state. Eastham maintained that no problem existed, that the Board had found a site it deemed suitable, and he moved that the Updike’s special use permit application be returned to the BZA for reconsideration at the earliest possible convenience. The motion was supported^ unanimously, with Supervisor H.'B. Wood abstaining. In conclusion, Luke repeated his appeal to anyone in the county willing to lease property for landfill use to contact him at 987-8386. “The Board’s got to bite the bullet, hot or cold,” he commented. —Daphne McCullough I support this legislation. Such legislation in itself will not solve the crime problem but it will be a deterrent in a number of cases if a person knows that he will be given a long sentence without parole or suspension if he should be convicted of these serious crimes. The General Assembly will probably pass revised laws on Virginia’s statutes allowing the death penalty to be imposed for murder committed in the course of kidnapping, robbery with a deadly weapon, in the commission of rape and murder of a prison guard so as to make these laws consistent with the latest U.S. Supreme Court decision in 1976 on the death penalty. Legislation will also be introduced to provide full-time Commonwealth Attorneys in counties and cities with a certain population. In recent years the state has provided for additional full-time judges and all of this should contribute to a more effective system for the administration of criminal justice. ALSO, in the past few years r the state has provided much-needed improvement and expansion of the prison system to provide for additional facilities, which are unfortunately needed, and to provide for more secure prisons. This continues to be a pressing need and the additional funds needed to continue this progress will have to be found. Next week I will have another legislative report. □ Dance lessons Last week, the possibility of forming a group which would enjoy learning colonial and country dances was mentioned in the News. Mrs. Fred Welty, who coached the minuet and two other dances performed in last June’s Bicentennial Pageant, will be in the Trinity Church parish hall Monday evening, January 24, at 7:15 to meet anybody interested in such a project. This is a public service of Mrs. Welty’s, who hopes that there will be a good attendance. □ 1 'ffirtuzm % etoekrs EXCELLENT SELECTION DIAMONDS. WATCHES AND JEWELRY. Specializing in Watch Repair.

Icy roads lead to many accidents FRIDAY night’s freezing rain and sleet made roads in the county almost impassable, delaying workers coming home from the metropolitan area and hindering the beginning weekend traffic, all of which was reduced to a crawl. A steady stream of reports of collisions, crashes and motorists in ditches was relayed to State Police and the local Sheriff's office. Trooper R. A. Baines, who had worked the day shift, was called back for a second shift that night, and another Trooper summoned from Page County was unable to cross the mountain at Panorama to help. The most serious traffic mishap Friday night occurred on Route 211 in front of Pine Knot Inn. Brion Patterson of Sperryville driving a 72 Dodge struck a bank, flipped over on its side, slid down the road and struck a 71 Chevro let pickup driven by Nelson Jenkins of Washington. No injuries resulted and damage was estimated at $200 to the pickup and $600 to the other vehicle. Icy roads were the cause of a collision Tuesday night on Route 621 at Peyton Farms. Gilbert Burke in a 71 Ford was struck by Joyce Andrews in a 76 Honda station wagon. Both are of Washington. There were no injuries or charges. Sheriff’s Deputy R. D. Hawkins, who assisted motorists and investigated wrecks, reported that two and three-vehicles were involved in many, as well as numerous single cars sliding and skidding into ditches. Three cars collided east of Amissville, according to Hawkins.

INC. 364-1566 Marshall, Va. 22115 364-1567 REGULAR CATTLE SALE Every Tuesday 2 p.m. ^Located on Route 55 approximately one mile eastof Marshall POINTS OF OPPOSITION TO PROPOSAL TO PROHIBIT LOADED GUNS IN VEHICLES This law, if enacted, would be difficult, if not impossible to enforce. Game wardens in other counties have admitted to this. Thus, we have those whose duty it will be to enforce this law, stating that they will not be able to effectively* do so. Those, who intend to violate, will do so knowing that there is little probability that they will be caught. The law could only prove to be a harassment and an inconvenience to the law abiding sportsman. It is now legal to carry a loaded gun on Virginia’s highways, so long as it is not concealed on the person. How, then, can it legally be legislated that carrying a loaded gun in a vehicle on the same highway be unlawful? If the law were enacted, to circumvent it, all one need do is to stop one’s vehicle and step out onto the road with the loaded gun, thus, being within the law. This readily shows the impossibility of enforcement. It takes but a matter of very few seconds to snap a magazine or cartridge into a gun, and no longer to remove the same. For this reason alone it is felt that this law will not do what is intended of it, and that is to curtail unlawful shooting from vehicles. The violator will not be handicapped to any effective extent. Virginia law already prohibits shooting within 100 yards of a highway, as well as prohibiting shooting from a vehicle. With these two laws in effect, and apparently being violated, as the request for this unloaded gun law would indicate, it isn’t feasible to believe that another law, unenforceable, would deter the violator. As for safety, it is well known that it is often the “empty” gun that kills. A gun known to be loaded is usually handled with more care than one thought to be empty. From a safety standpoint it is believed that this law would aid little or nothing. It is, therefore, recommended that the Board of Supervisors vote against the adoption of this law, which cannot effectively be enforced, and has already been rejected by nearby counties. It will have no effect in curtailing unlawful shooting and can prove to be an inconvenience and a harassment to the law abiding sportsman. An unenforceable law is worse than no law at all.

Buntin, Davis clash overmileage Prom Pape 1 ness owner in Woodville, who claimed he had never seen a deputy there except in the process of serving a warrant. The only way for policing to do any good, Davis said, is to let the people know such practices are going on. “As of now, they don’t.” Tomakesurveilance worthwhile, he added, the sheriff’s deputies need to do more than just ride by a business. IF DAVIS is going to give the orders on when, where and how to do a job, “then you don’t need me,” Buntin angrily told the Supervisors, suggesting that Davis call in the deputies in the mornings and give them their assignments. The Compensation Board has certain rules and regulations, answered Davis, maintaining that it wouldn’t reimburse the county for mileage charges if Buntin’s policing practices continued. The county will have to bear 100 percent of the costs, he warned, and advised the Supervisors to pass a resolution authorizing Buntin to continue his current policies, if they so desired, knowing that Rappahannock will have to pay the bill. Luke maintained that the public should let Buntin know if they don’t like the way he’s doing his job. “He's an elected official.” Davis responded that he was simply complying with the statutes, that the Compensation Board had told him it wouldn’t pay the mileage figures. LUKE said the Compensation Board’s executive secretary, John Rasnick, told him the Board only required that the Rappahannock sheriff’s department be more specific as to where and why policing was done, when filing out the required forms. The forms are examined and signed by Buntin, said Luke, with the signature attesting to the accuracy of the report. “That’s good enough for me until the evidence is otherwise,” contended Luke.

In addition, Buntin said that he and his men had written 107 tickets for residents without county tags, compared to 45 written the year before under his predecessor. “You have taken the attitude that withholding the December check was my fault,” Davis told Buntin. “I take full responsibility.” Davis claimed that mileage charges submitted for Buntin’s patrol car while Buntin was on vacation in Florida for nine days “brought up in my mind that the report should be examined more carefully.” He added that he also had other reasons for wanting to examine the figures. Luke noted that the mileage charges for Buntin’s automobile had already been explained by one of the deputies, who used the car WOODVILLE The Rev. B. G.

DAVIS warned that his close examinations of the reports would be kept up. “I haven’t done anything in the past that I won’t continue to do in the future,” he insisted. “I think we have to be very careful not to infringe on a constitutional officer’s conduct of his duty,” commented Luke. He ag reed to accompany Buntin to Richmond for a visit to the Compensation Board in order to gain more information on Davis’s contention that the Board wouldn’t reimburse the county for policing mileage fees.

[The law requires license to be securely fastened to a substantial collar and worn by the dog. This law is going to be enforced. Jack W. Bruce—Dog Warden License for any dog which is as much as one-fourth German Shepherd will be $5 for Males and $10 for Females. Prosecutions Begin February 1,1977 Rappahannock County NOTICE All members of Northern Piedmont Electric Cooperative will experience an increase in the Wholesale Power Adjustment Clause on bills rendered February I, 1977 for electricity consumed during December. This charge of $12.40 per 1000 KWHs represents an increase of $5.20 per 1000 KWHs over the amount charged on the January I, 1977 bills for November usage. The sudden increase was caused by both increased usage (severely cold weather), and the absence of nuclear generation by VEPCO's Surry Power Station due to refueling of one unit and repairs to generators of the other unit. Several coal fired units were also out of service for scheduled maintenance. Under those circumstances, it was necessary for VEPCO to increase the use of higher cost oil fired generation. Because of the impact of the high fuel costs already experienced, an increase will be seen on bills for December, January, and February.

Get Eradicane Selective Herbicide aEradicanM Johnsongrass, as strong a weed as you’ll ever see, can put you out of the corn business if left unchecked. An Eradicane herbicide program is the answer. Here’s how to use it. Plow early and disc several times to v chop the johnsongrass rhizomes into pieces about 4 inches long. Then disc in Eradicane thoroughly. * Plant fields infested with johnsongrass last, so the soil is warm. This way, corn grows fast to make a quick ground cover without weed competition. Eradicane also controls many other grass and broadleaf weeds. That’s the Eradicane herbicide program... it works so well performance is guaranteed in the continental United States when used as the label directs, or Stauffer will replace the product. Verify purchase, leave a check strip and notify Stauffer promptly. This season control seedling johnsongrass and thoroughly suppress the rhizomes. Use Eradicane. Always follow label directions carefully. See your Stauffer supplier for Eradicane. Er adicane from 11111 Stauffer Chemical Company Agricultural Chemical Division P.O.
