Rappahannock News, February 10, 1977

Proposed legislation opposed EDUCATIONAL bills currently under consideration by the General Assembly aroused the ire of the Rappahannock School Board at last Tuesday’s meeting. After Superintendent O. A. Norton gave his legislative report, he was authorized to relay the Board’s opinions on the bills to the appropriate Richmond representatives and, for the most part, those opinions were overwhelmingly negative. Just another example of “large, urban areas infringing on rural localities” was Board member Be L.1I. Cuter ID Principal is named L. M. “Buddy” Carter, HI, was appointed principal of the Rappahannock Elementary School by the School Board on Tuesday. Carter is currently assistant principal and will succeed retiring principal Quaintance as of July 1. Originally from Alleghany County, Carter taught there for six years before coming to Rappahannock in 1972. Carter and his wife Elisabeth live in Ben Venue. Mrs. Carter teaches in the Warren County school system and the oldest of the couple’s two daughters attends third grade at Rappahannock Elementary. Carter bias a bachelor of science degree in biology from Concord College in West Virginia, and a Masters in Education from the University of Virginia. □ verly Massie’s description of House Bill 1871. According to Norton, this bill would require all public schools to be closed on election day. He noted that the county had made provisions for the few 18year-olds in school to be excused from classes to vote and that they had even been taken to register. Children learn more in school about the election process and the proposed election holiday would only be another day to put in the calendar to make up, maintained Norton. Mrs. Massie contended that the bill would benefit only urban areas that use public schools as polling places. ““I’ve been besieged with requests for a holiday on the first day of hunting season,” Norton commented. “We have enough hunters in the woods without sending elementary students out.” Board member Alan Stokes suggested, only partiaUy in jest, that Rappahannock counter the urban pressures by proposing a holiday for the first day of the corn planting season. NORTON reported that another bill before the Legislature would establish an ombudsman’s office with a state official authorized to mediate disagreements between parents and schools over tuition and placement of special education and learning disabled children. “This would completely bypass the School Boards,” said Norton. Regulations already exist governing both areas, he maintained and added that he didn’t understand the need to establish additional ones. “A bunch of bureaucrats,” muttered Board member Arthlinda Quaintance. “It upsets me,” said Norton, “to have laws considered for areas that are already covered,” charging that time and money is wasted in this duplication of effort. House Bill 1783, another piece of legislation, would change current law governing dismissal, suspension and probation of contract teachers. At present, a teacher notified of such action can appeal to the School Board for a hearing, said Norton. The proposed bill would alter the hearing procedures. According to Norton, the bill requires a hearing, if requested, to be held before a special panel. THE panel would be composed of three members—one selected by the teacher, one by the Superintendent of the school system and the third by the other two members of the panel. If the teacher’s choice and the superintendent’s choice cannot agree on the third member, then the American Arbitration Association is to be called in, said Norton, with the School Board to bear the expense. “I could name F. Lee Bailey as my representative,” Norton commented, and the School Board would have to pay for it. “Then we’d have a hearing on you,” joked Chairman E. M. Montague. “This is another bypassing,” StePipl Mileage question discussed By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH A CONFLICT between the sheriff’s department and the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s office over law enforcement practices continued at last Thursday’s Rappahannock Supervisors’ meeting. Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis advised the Board not to pay mileage charges again this month on the general grounds that Sheriff William Buntin’s deputies were engaged in policing procedures that the Virginia Compensation Board wouldn’t cover in the standard reimbursement of mileage fees. Davis asked the Board to delay approval of the mileage reports until he had time to check with the Compensation Board. (Following last month’s controversy over whetherBuntin’s policy-'-described as “patrolling” by Davis and “policing” by Supervisor Chairman Pete Luke— was reimbursable by the state, Luke and Davis scheduled the trip to Richmond for a conference.) “Have you examined the First grade registration Children who will enter the first grade in the Rappahannock County Public Schools for 1977-78 will be registered at the Rappahannock Elementary School on Tuesday and Wednesday, February IS and 16, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Every child in the county who will he 6 on or before December 31, 1977 is to be registered to enter file first grade. In order that adequate educational planning be done it is important that all entering first graders be registered. Parents were reminded that they must present an official copy of their child’s hirth certificate at time of registration. Parents who do not have an official hirth certificate should bring $2 to cover the cost of securing this record. Mrs. Frances Thornton, Public Health Nurse for Rappahannock County, will be present at the registration session to explain to parents the procedures required for health examination and immunization of children entering school for the first time.Q reports?” asked Supervisor Dick Latham, serving as chairman in the ailing Luke’s absence. Davis replied that he had. “Did you find anything irregular?” continued Latham. “Some claims cannot be legally allowed,” Davis responded. He said he needed to check on the matter with the state agency and volunteered to explain his specific objections in executive session. “I have no objections to discussing it in open session,” interjected Sheriff Buntin. Holding up the checks until Friday would delay their issuance until at least Monday, he maintained, and would create a hardship on the deputies who have? charged gas bills that fell due on February 1. PAYING the mileage charges could result in an imposition on the taxpayers, countered Davis. Jf the Supervisors wanted to accept the liability for payment, they should do so knowing that reimbursement from the state might not be approved, he maintained. Each member of the Board should have a copy of the mileage sheets for examination, said Davis. He contended that it was the Supervisors’ responsibility to “make a determination in respect to policy. We have an unusual situation,” he continued. The Board needed to decide if “patrolling major highways” and issuing traffic violation tickets are a “proper function of the sheriff’s office.” Davis contended that these are the prime responsibility of the State Police. If the Rappahannock Sheriff’s Department continues to trespass on the State’s area of responsibility, then the Supervisors must accept that “the major portion of the mileage fund claims are to be paid out of the county’s general fund,” maintained Davis. “I hate to see it come to the point where the State Police and the Sheriff’s Department are not cooperating,” commented Supervisor Latham. Davis explained that his objections were not concerned with cooperation but with “overlapping” responsibilities. He advised that the Supervisors pass a resolution for the “welfare and benefit of the public,” acknowledging that if the State wc.»t pay, then the county will “pick up the ticket.” IN VIEW of Davis’s objections to the current patrolling practices, Latham asked him for an explanation of the differences between the mileage figures from Buntin’s department and those of his predecessor, Sheriff John Walker Jenkins. According to figures from previously submitted and approved mileage reports, Jenkins’s department, with three and a half deputies, logged 15,000 miles more than Buntin’s, with five deputies and an increased work load. Supervisor Butch Eastham agreed with Latham’s request. “Why wasn’t this brought up before?” added Eastham. Davis claimed that it had been. Just because the patrolling procedures had been “improperly permitted in the past doesn’t mean you continue doing it, ” he commented. Supervisor H. B. Wood asked that the arguing stop. He thought that the Supervisors would have an answer from the Compensation See Pace 9

SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Stop the waste A STATEMENT released to a ‘‘special to weeklies” from Lt. Gov. John Dalton of Virginia starts off in ringing tones: “The U. S. should seek new sources of energy rather than accept a lower standard of living caused by scarce or expensive fuel. . .” Dalton, who wants to step up to be Governor of Virginia, went on to warn that “a perpetual shortage of energy would reduce our standard of living and impede further economic growth.” Just to make certain that this message wasn’t lost, Dalton went on to use a favorite whipping boy in the supposed conflict between economic growth advocators and “conservationists”; said he, “Some people like Ralph Nader may want to live in a world poor in energy, but I don’t.” Come now, Mr. Lieutenant GovernoraD. of us, not only Americans but everyone everywhere on the face of this finite globe, are going to live “in a world poor in energy” in the coming years whether they want to or not. A “world poor in energy,” that is, in relation to the manner in which people, especially Americans, have been squandering it. Oil fields have definite capacities; the prospects for new wells is not limitless; coal, despite some patriotic protes - tations to the contrary, will not last forever; all fossil fuels are threatened by the current rate of consumption; there are only so many streams to dam up; there is only so much the sun’s heat can be made to do, given the present state of our technology. We are going to have to make adjustments—have to. BUT these facts of life don’t necessarily mean that Americans will be forced to adopt “a lower standard of living.” A different standard, yes, one not so wasteful and careless of precious inheritances. According to Denis Hayes of the Worldwatch Institute, a nonprofit research organization with headquarters in Washington, D. C., wasted energy may account for 30, or even 50 per cent of all the energy consumed in the United States. Hayes says that in 1975, Americans wasted more fossil fuel than was used by two-thirds of the world’s population. Wasted. A Federal Energy Administration official has noted that West Germans, who have a “standard of living” similar to that of Americans, use only half as much energy per person. Says the FEA’s John G. Muller, “We could cut waste tremendously without changing the way we live. . .” What changes? Stop driving enormous, gas-guzzling cars. Stop building houses without proper insulation. Use industrially-generated steam more efficiently. Stop overpackaging food (production of packaging gimmicks has increased faster than the consumption of food, using up enormous amounts of energy for superfluous wrappings, boxes and containers). Stop installing pilot lights on stoves. Stop producing so much aluminium from raw material and employ more recycling. THERE are many, many things Americans could do— must do—to stop the prodigious waste of energy this nation is guilty of, and there’s hardly a one of these steps that could be properly classified as contributing to “a lower standard of living.” Mr. Dalton’s approach to the problem is a familiar one among politicians. They look out at the great, spoiled, wasteful electorates which put them in office, and are loath to do or say anything that might suggest these people, should be less profligate, less greedy, less self-indulgent. So they say things like “(we) should seek new sources of energy,” so, presumably, we could go on being just as wasteful and thoughtless as we are now. _ - CONCERT POSTPONED The Culpeper Community Concert for February 18 has been postponed due to the restrictions on heat at the Culpeper County High School. It will be held at a later date.D Letters to the editor Buntin is praised Editor: When reading the January 20 edition of your paper, I was shocked and appalled at the “Buntin, Davis Clash.” Mr. Buntin during his tenure as a State Trooper and as our recently elected Sheriff has given full time and honest dedication to his work. I for one, and I’m sure there are numerous others who feel far more comfortable now in leaving our homes and business to attend various functions and personal engagements both day and night. The excellent policing and arresting of offenders that we the taxpayers are receiving is the finest in many years. It would be far more pleasant to read in the news that the numerous arrests made by Mr. Buntin and his extremely competent deputies were prosecuted or even fined, than to read that there are those who would attempt to deprive the department of the necessary reimbursements for doing their assigned public duties. We the public would like to Know that the appointed judge and other public officials would endeavor to fulfill their responsibilities as competently. Verner D. Jeffers Buntin’s service to county lauded Editor: It’s true I am family. It’s true I may be partial. It’s also true that I recognize truth and honesty in people. I have worked with and dealt with many people through the years and few, if any, come up to the high standards of honesty and integrity as does your Sheriff W.A. Bun tin. I have known him for more than a half century and must say if there were more people like him, who have so much love and concern for his fellow man, there would be little use for policing or patrolling. If he says his reports are as correct as is possible then you can believe that they are. You people of Rappahannock County are indeed fortunate to have a man of his character to serve You. Mrs. J. L.

Putting ladino and/or red clover to work is one of the most practical ways of improving the quality of our forages and reducing the cost of purchased nitrogen. When clovers make up 30-50 per cent of the pasture or hay mixture, livestock gain or milk better than when only grass is present. Well established clover also fixes nitrogen from the air which becomes available to stimulate grass growth. There is no need to spend your time and money reseeding clover if the pH, phosphate or potash is too low for clover to grow and be productive. Also, you can expect poor results if the established grass stand is thick and is carrying over several inches of duff or top growth. Grasses should be grazed close so the clover seed can come in contact with the soil, germinate, and then develop without being shaded out. There are a number of ways to successfully seed clover. The easiest, cheapest, and most risky method is to simply broadcast the seed with a cyclone seeder. Many of the old timers overseeded clover with a hand seeder when a soft snow was covering the ground. By their tracks they could see where they had been and it was easy to see the area the seed covered. When the snow melted, the seed was carried down into contact with the soil. Mr. Manwaring and Robin Dickey would say that in order for this method to be successful the grass should be grazed short, the clover seeded early, and it |ielps to have cattle feeding in the field to tramp the seed in. 1 Seeding with a grain drill can help improve your chances of getting a good stand of clover. If the grass sod. is very dense ?nd has some old top growth, then disking, broadcasting and cultipacking may be necessary. When overseeding fields that are primarily for hay production, seed 5 or 6 pounds of red clover per acre. If the field is to be used for combination hay and pasture or just for pasture, use a mixture of 3 or 4 pounds red clover and one to two pounds of ladino clover. LIME NOW—If your fields need liming, you had better get the lime on now. Once the weather breaks and farmers start hollwering for fertilizer you can just forget about getting lime spread until next June. HAY FOR SALE? ARE YOU RUNNING SHORT OF HAY? Call Miss Ruby 675-3619. From now until the end of March, with your cooperation, we will try to bring buyers and sellers together. □

THE DELEGATE’S REPORT By Del. D. FRENCH SLAUGHTER, Jr. THE General Assembly committees continued to work through the large volume of bills introduced this year and some of the more complex and controversial bills are beginning to reach the floor of the House of Delegates and the Senate. On the question of educational mandates imposed by the state upon the localities I have introduced two bills on kindergartens— one bill which would give the localities the option as to whether or not kindergarten is provided and another bill to allow summer school kindergartens to be sufficient to satisfy the state requirement. For the past three sessions I have introduced amendments to the state standards to accomplish one of these objectives but the amendments have been defeated. The prospects for the passage of one of my bills is not too favorable although I will make every effort to see that one of these bills is passed. Kindergarten is the most expensive of all state standards imposed on the localities in the last few years. The state provides its proportionate share of the funding as it does for the other twelve grades but still the local share necessary to provide kindergarten, including capital and transportation costs, requires a substantial expenditure from local school funds. I support state appropriations to provide the proportionate state support for kindergartens on the Scouting , demonstrations There will be a Scout “Showand-Do” on Saturday, February 12, from 9 a.m. until noon in Rappahannock County. As part of the Scout Week program, the Boy Scout Troops of the county will put on various Scouting skills and demonstrations. Troop 50 of Amissville will hold its demonstration at Hackley’s Store under the leadership of Clarence Dodson, scoutmaster. Troop 36 and its scoutmaster, Paul Nichols, will show Scouting Skills at the carnival grounds of the Flint Hill Fire Company. Troop 123 under the direction of Buddy Bywaters will show skills at the parking grounds of the Episcopal Church of Washington. Troop 65 has Say Aylor as scoutmaster and will use the old fire house at Sperry ville for a demonstration. The public is invited to visit the exhibits and see Scouting in action. February 13 is Scout Sunday and all Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts should attend church services in uniform. Members of church-spon sored troops should attend their sponsoring church. □ same basis as for the other grades, but I do believe that the localities should have the option of whether or not to offer kindergarten because of the expense and particularly the greater expense in rural counties. The present law provides that kindergartens are optional with the parents of the children but each county must provide the facilities. In the rural counties there are a number of difficulties including separate transportation unless the kindergarten children are to be kept in school for the entire regular school day. IN my opinion it is questionable whether a long school day including long bus rides in many rural communities would be beneficial to the children and the expense for these rural localities could be out of proportion to the benefits received by the number of children whose parents choose to send them to kindergarten. Another educational standard imposed by the state law enacted in 1976 is the requirement for a maximum class size in the first, second, and third grades and kindergarten. The law provides for a maximum class size in these grades only of 28 students in the 1977-78 school year and going down to 24 in 1981-82. I believe that there should be some flexibility in this requirement and I am in favor of a change to provide that the class sizes be based on an average of those particular classes in a particular elementary school or perhaps for the school division in the case of the smallest localities. I believe that the legislature will pass some sort of modification to make this requirement more flexible and to reduce the cost that the stricter requirement would cause. The concept of some sort of limit on the class sizes through the third grade is based upon the belief that the fundamentals—reading, writing, and simple arithmetic—are the most important and that our educational priorities must be on the basics which are essential for all further edu cation that the child may receive. I agree with this concept. The other educational mandates imposed by state law are funded by the state but they are funded proportionately as they always have been because we have a public school system based upon state and local funding and a mixture of state and local control. I would be opposed to the state providing all of these funds for public education because it is likely that this would prove to be detrimental to the poorer localities and would result in complete state control. Next week I will continue to report on educational mandates and school funding. □ J Mr. Tick [The Fish \7S BACK In Warrentorr Large Selection Fresh Seafood Fresh Oysters Friday 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. Saturday 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. Satisfaction Guaranteed Old Chevrolet Lot Lee St. Warrenton Final ( __N CLEARANCE All GOOSEDOWN-30%off All LEATHER CLOTHING —40 % off All WINTER HORSE_30 % off BLANKETS /0 HACKING JACKETS-on/r*8©00 Reg. $110 - $130 30%off BLACK MELTON’S Sale ends February 17 "NEW COLD WEATHER HOURS MONDAY 12.00-5.00 TUESDAY - SATURDAY 1000-500 CASH ONLY - ALL SALES FINAL ' 347-3141 254 Lee Highway Warrenton - HORSE COUNTRY SADDLERY

Race committee is optimistic DESPITE the i.v sts andfrozen fields of Virginia’s coldest winter in recent memory, plans are going forward for the Rappahannock Point-to-Point Races to take place as scheduled on Saturday, March 5. This will be the 28th running of the event, which will be held on James W. Fletcher’s picturesque Thornton Hill Fariii, tv.„ miles south of Sperryville on Route 522. Witold Kuncewicz, Race Committee Chairman, said "We’re not going to let old man winter chill our enthusiasm, or our determination to make this year’s pointto-point races the most enjoyable ever. We expect racing fans to be able to see top steeplechasers, Witold Kuacewicz, nice committee chairmen for the Rappahannock Hunt Point-to-point scheduled for March 5, is optimistic about the prospects, despite the recent weather. He’s been getting Royal Know ready at his farm near Flint Hill. (Peter Winants photo) and to enjoy some of Virginia’s prettiest countryside in much warmer weather.” Kuncewicz made a special point for horse owners. ‘‘Last year we fertilized die ground heavily, and it’s paid off. The race , course is covered with a thick mat of fescue grass, and is in good shape..” In addition to the timber and hurdle races that are the mainstay of the annual affair, the Rappahannock point-to-point features a pair race for hunters, against the clock. This year’s pair race will add a new challenge trophy, and additional prize categories. A unique feature of the Rappahannock races — and surefire crowd pleaser—is the traditional hound race. This event brings over 50 fox hounds together in spirited competition to be first across the .finish line. The hounds’ special music, ringing in die wooded hills surrounding the course, helps create a memorable event. THE Rappahannock Race Committee plans several new features this year for the enjoyment of spectators and participants. An improved public address system is being installed; a greater variety of food and beverages will be offered. An enlarged hospitality room and dining area will be available for riders, grooms, drivers Johnsongrass taking over your corn? a&adfeane.

Spending Sunday with Mrs. Gladys Schlosser and Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hensley were Mr. and Proposed legislation From Page 1 maintained Norton, serious again. “The law makes it pretty clear who’s legally responsible” in actions against contract teachers. There would eventually be no need for a School Board if the continual eroding of authority, as proposed by this bill and others, continued, he thought. One percent out of the state’s, four percent sales tax is returned to localities for education. The amount available to each jurisdiction is determined by the number of school-aged children in the county. House bill 1837 would substitute average daily membership for the census figure as the determining factor, according to Norton. “If that’s done, there’s going to be a loss of funds, statewide,” he pointed out. Currently, Rappahannock gets credit for all children between seven and 19 who reside in the county, whether they attend private school, college or school at all, said Norton. If payments were based on average daily membership as of September 30, as the bill proposes, only students in public school at that time would be considered. The county received $106 per child last year based on the census figures, according to Norton, and if credit for only a few were lost due to the proposed switch to a determination based on average daily membership, the county could lose a substantial amount of state aid. JOINT bill 283 was the only piece of legislation discussed by the Board that received any appro val. This bill calls for a study of the formula used to determine state aid in education to localities, and it won the Board’s complete support. Norton reported that he’d received no final word from the state on possible budget cuts. He said that finance and appropriations committee recommendations were not final yet and all that he had heard pertained to the possibility of borrowing funds from the State Highway Department and allowing for an extra month of sales tax revenues. “A Band-aid for the cancer,” remarked Board member Walter Masterson. State authorities “have not outlined any definite reductions in state funding to localities,” concluded Norton, Daphne McCullough □ Garrison injured Arthur Garrison of Amissville sustained injuries in a single vehicle crash Saturday morning on Route 645 near Amissville.

County pressed for court space THE problem with lack of space in the court house complex came up again at last week’s Rappahannock Supervisors’ meeting, and this time it appears that an immediate solution to overcrowding at the clerk’s office will be required “I received a letter and a phone call from the judge (Raynor Snead),” said Supervisor Dick Latham, serving as chairman in Pete Luke’s absence. “He’s very insistent that some additional space be provided for the clerk’s office.” Clerk Ned Jones reminded the Board that a plan dealing with solutions to the space problems had been received from the University of Illinois, a study arranged at no obligation to the county through the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District offices. “The problem with the plan,” maintained Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis, “is that it doesn’t fit immediate needs.” At present, there is no room for deed records, court records in both criminal and civil cases, and working space in the clerk’s office, he maintained. “It appears at least another fireproof vault, the same size as die present vault, is needed,” said Davis, in addition to added space for conference rooms. “The public’s use of the clerk’s RCES Menu Monday, February 14 Hot dogs/buns; Baked beans; Mixed greens; Pears; Milk.

There’s just not enough room.” “THE public certainly has the right to use the clerk’s office. It’s a public record room,” Davis continued. “It’s the responsibility of the Board of Supervisors to provide the space to utilize the purpose of the clerk’s office. There’s no room now to take care of filing essential documents.” “We’re way overdue on this thing,” agreed Supervisor Clarence Baldwin. “Something must be done right away.” Supervisor Butch Eastham agreed, but had questions about exactly how much space is needed. Supervisor H. B. Wood also concurred in the necessity of increasing the record storage space, but questioned whether an imperative need exists for conference rooms, instead suggesting that oth - er county offices be used. “We’ve got to have some figures before we decide,” contended Eastham. At a bare minimum, an extra vault is required, Davis responded. WOOD suggested that any decision be postponed until Chairman Pete Luke recovered from his illness and could take part in the deliberations. He agreed that something needed to be done in regard to the clerk’s office but how and when still had to be determined. Davis asked that a committee be appointed to study the matter and come up with a plan for expansion. He volunteered to serve on such a body. He added that he had made copies of the state law pretaining to the Board’s responsibility to provide space for the conduct of the court’s business for each of the Supervisors. “We know our responsibilities,” answered Latham. “We shouldn’t keep on postponing,” warned Baldwin. “The judge has said he’ll take over and do something and he will.. .The people who use these facilities are up in the air and they’re not going to wait too long.” The Supervisors agreed to recess Friday’s meeting until 10 a.m. on February 14, a date sug REMEMBER YOUR SPECIAL with a lasting gift of Krementz Jewelry and Diamonds... m N. Main Street Culpeper 825-0011 gested by Davis as probably being convenient for judge Raynor V. Snead’s participation. Supervisor Eastham proposed that an additional effort be made to have lawyers and real estate people attend— “the people who use these offices.” CLERK Ned Jones presented an application to the Board for a special use permit from E.B. and Ruth Updike to operate a sanitary landfill on Route 522 outside of Sperryville. “I understand that they’ve given up on this piece of property,” Planning Commission Chairman Herbert Barksdale told the Supervisors. The property in question had previously been denied a permit for a landfill by the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals. Barksdale said he’d been told that the Updikes’ option to buy the property had expired and the price of the land had been raised sunstantially by the current owner. He noted that the Updikes have an application before the BZA for a permit on another piece of property near Woodville. After listending to Barksdale, the Supervisors took no further action on the Route 522 property request. Action on a proposed gun ordinance was tabled since neither Luke nor Game Warden Jim Bankston were at the meeting. Davis commented that the Board has to decide if it wants to make hunting within 100 yards of a public road illegal. THE Board agreed to advertise a proposed Amissville rezoning for adoption at their March meeting. Supervisor Wood asked Barksdale if anyone from Amissville objected to the proposed rezoning from A1 to RBI at the Planning Commission’s public hearing. “No one at all,” replied Barksdale, and added that very few citizens even attended. He noted that the trailer court is excluded from the new boundaries at the present time.—Daphne McCullough Federal & State Income Tax Service John I. Zunka Warren Paint and Supply Co. 415 E.

Mileage question discussed From Page 1 Board on the following day. ALSO up for discussion with the state agency was a request from Davis for a full-time secretary. Dot Irvine currently holds a position as joint secretary to both Davis and Buntin. At a previous Supervisors’ meeting, in executive session, Davis asked the Board for authorization to have Irvine work for him alone. The Supervisors at that time informed Davis they were opposed to such an arrangement and wrote to the Compensation Board registering this opposition. Earlier during last Thursday’s meeting, Buntin reported that he had sent a letter to Chairman Pete Luke asking for a secretary for the Sheriff’s Department, “in case the one I have now does in fact leave on the fourth (of February), as has been stated.” Latham asked if Buntin had been in touch with the Compensation Board in regard to the secretarial request from Davis. “We’re scheduled to go tomorrow,” replied Buntin but added that he wasn’t sure if the trip was still on with Pete Luke being ill. In his letter to Luke, Buntin said he’d requested a fulltime secretary to keep the office open, maintain contact with the deputies on the road and answer the phone, in addition to typing and filing duties, if Irvine’s services were terminated. “The secretary should be here to answer questions,” said Supervisor Clarence Baldwin, referring ADULT EDUCATION CLASSES PLANNED Registration for Adult Education Classes at Rappahannock County High School will be held on February 17 at 7:30 p.m. at the school. Based upon interest and enrollment during the past three years classes will be offered in the following areas, provided that ten or more persons enroll to justify a particular course: Personal Typing; Upholstry - Furniture Refinishing; Home Repairs; Welding; Wills, Deeds, and Trusts; and a class in General Education Development. The G.E.D. class will assist in the preparation of non-high school graduates for the high school equivalency exam. Additional classes or substitute classes may be held provided the enrollment for a class is ten or more. Adults planning to enroll are requested to return the reply form below to the Rappahannock County School Board Office, Sperryville, Virginia 22740 prior to February 16 or call 987-8773 and give the information requested.

First Choice- Second Choice to Irvine, who was downstairs in the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s office. “We asked the Compensation Board not to terminate the secretary’s position,” noted Wood with regard to Irvine’s notice of her intention to resign from her responsibilities in the sheriff’s office. “I can’t believe this situation is up in the air. Is she going to terminate tomorrow or not?” asked Eastham. “It’s not up in the air,” countered Davis. “She will terminate.” Buntin nodded in agreement. THE Supervisors had decided that one secretary was sufficient for both offices and had written a letter to that effect to the Compensation Board, Wood pointed out. “We could pass a resolution and call, or tjelegram,” he added, in the event that Luke wasn’t jible to keep the appointment with Buntin in Richmond. Davis said he planned to make the trip, regardless of Luke’s and Buntin’s plans, and would certainly present any resolution from the Supervisors to the Compensation Board or explain the Supervisors’ position. “Just because I don’t agree doesn’t mean I wor^t tell them what you think.” \ Difficulties may arise, contended Eastham, if the secretary’s11 not available for sharing services and has indicated her intention to resign from the half of her job involving the Sheriff’s Department. “If it’s personality clashes and she doesn’t feel she can work for both, maybe it’s time she stepped down and we got somebody else,” suggested Wood. “Certainly the two offices should be compatible,” agreed Latham. “At least the secretary should,” added Wood.

He said that Irvine had officially turned in her resignation as the sheriff’s part-time secretary on February 3, effective the following day. The Compensation Board also authorized a new part-time secretary and telephone operator for Bun tin. According to the Sheriff, Board members said they didn’t want to get involved in the mileage argument, and contended that a determination of what would and wouldn’t be reimbursable was the responsibility of the Rappahannock Supervisors. Bun tin said that Latham and Eastham, who accompanied him to Richmond, indicated that they were satisfied with the Sheriff’s operation and policies and would recomment payment of the mileage charges.
