ttti ■ BZA approves landfill permit IN THE face of sharp objections from a state Health Department official over a two-and-ahalf year time limitation, the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals approved last Thursday a permit to operate a landfill on eight acres owned by Clifton Clark on Rudasill’s Mill Road. Members of the BZA were equally sharp in their comments in rejecting the arguments of the Health Department spokesman, Robert Foreman, the regional supervisor of landfill operations. They told him to prepare his engineering specifications for the time limitation of Clark’s contract with Mr. and Mrs. E.B. Updike of Community Trash Inc., and that if he was unhappy with that, it was just too bad. BZA members were impressed by expressions from adjoining property owners, including a letter from national columnist James J. Kilpatrick, which said they would be willing to accept a landfill near them if it were only for the 30 months stipulated in the Updike’s contract with Clark. “That stipulation will probably kill our permit,” said Foreman, when a motion to approve the landfill for a 30-month operation was made by BZA member M. H. Forward. “That’s up to you, and the State would have to come back with a valid reason for turning it down,” Forward replied. “We’re got to give our people an opportunity to review this operation when the contract runs out.” “WE MAY have to organize our own militia,” grinned BZA chairman Josef Gardner, a retired admiral whose salty comments on landfills, the county government and bureaucrats in general enlivened the hearing process. Foreman was adamant, although he softened his stand somewhat as the exchanges continued. “You’re taking the determination of the final product away from our control,” he complained. “Why can’t you plan for that period of time?” M.L. Manwaring wanted to know. “We can plan...but we can’t go off half-cocked,” protested Foreman. “Make it short term...We could issue a permit for only one year, if we wanted to,” Manwaring insisted. “We’re an unusual county,” Gardner told Foreman. “Your only difference from any other county is that you want to be treated differently,” said Foreman, whose willingness to debate with the BZA members stamped him as not the usual run of State bureaucrat. Gardner lectured Foreman on Rappahannock’s differentness: “This county bucked the railroads when they were going through all the other counties, and now they’re all bankrupt. If Rappahannock had permitted the railroads to come through, we would now have eyesores all over the county. Besides, all the landfill thinking may be changed or improved within the next ten years...We’d rather thave small dumps located in different places; there are little dumps all over the world that are not causing any trouble.” GARDNER added that he’d give a site for a landfill himself, “if I could be sure 1 wouldn’t be accused of profiteering, of having a landfill operation to improve my property.” See Pace 4 Sean and Heather lfarsh of Woodville try the Thornton Hill race course in preparation for the March Point-to-Point which will be held there on the 5th. Davis threatens to sue Board THE controversy in Rappahannock County over law enforcement practices and mileage charges escalated a step on Monday. Following a special meeting of the Board 'of Supervisors, Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis passed out mimeographed sheets to all the Board members, formally notifying them of his intentions to sue the county if current policing practices aren’t abandoned. For the past two months, Davis has temporarily held up mileage reimbursements to Sheriff William Buntin’s deputies. Davis objected to the policing procedures followed by the Department in checking county businesses. In view of Davis’s contention that reimbursement for mileage accumulated in this manner wouldn’t be allowed by the State Compensation Board, he accompanied Buntin and Supervisors J. R. Latham and Butch Eastham to the Compensation offices in Richmond. As a result of the visit, a secretary shared by both the Sheriff’s and Commonwealth Attorney’s offices was authorized to work full-time for Da vis, and Buntin was allowed part-time secretariat help. According to Sheriff Buntin, the Compensation Board decided not to “get involved” in the mileage dispute, leaving the Dispute over deputies' mileage continues to simmer determination of what would and wouldn’t be reimbursable up to the Supervisors. AT THEIR January Board meeting, Supervisor Chairman Pete Luke stated that Buntin’s signature on the mileage report sheet attesting to the accuracy of the figures included was sufficient verification. He noted that the Sheriff was a duly elected constitutional officer and questioned what he saw as infringement into the sheriff’s conduct of his duties. At that time, it was also brought out that Buntin’s department, with five deputies, logged 15,000 miles less than the previous sheriff’s office did with three and a half deputies, and in the process, wrote substantially more tickets for county tag violations. In the sheets handed out on Monday, Davis charged that “each month the sheriff and his deputies have claimed and received mileage payments to which they are not entitled.” He maintained that patrolling or policing highway traffic and “patrolling or policing businesses or certain residences, unless a complaint has been received that a crime has been committed or is about to be committed at such location,” were not reimbursable procedures. DAVIS maintains that the Super,visors had been informed at their December, January and February Board meetings that “payment of such mileage with public funds is improper, and according to the legislative mandate imposed upon the Commonwealth’s Attorney, he must resist such improper payment and recover any and all funds illegally or improperly paid by the Board of Supervisors within the past two years.” Davis wrote in conclusion that he intends to “carry out his oath of office and perform his responsibility to protect the taxpayers of Rappahannock County,” according to the code of Virginia. On a separate sheet, Davis included a, copy of the code section on which he based his actions. Section 15.1-550, dealing with procedure for allowance of claims, states that the Commonwealth’s Attorney “shall resist the allowance of any claim which is unjust or not before the Board in proper form.” When any claim considered unjust or improper by the Commonwealth’s Attorney is allowed by the Board, then the attorney is authorized to appeal the Board’s decision to the circuit court. THE mimeographed sheets contained a notice, printed in bold face type and capital letters, informing the Supervisors “that when any claim by the Sheriff’s Department has been allowed by the Board against the County, which in the opinion of the Commonwealth’s Attorney for the Commonwealth, is improper or unjust, he will institute proper proceedings in the Circuit Court against the Sheriff and the individual supervisor voting in favor of such improper claim for recovery thereof.. Davis’s notice concludes by stating that his office “will assist the Board of Supervisors with respect to auditing the sheriff’s accounts and will cooperate with the Sheriff with respect to proper filing of his mileage claims.” Sec Pace 18

MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-5349 Save farmland AT TWO gatherings in the past week—one in Fauquier, one in Loudoun—similar statements were made about the necessity of preserving financially-pressured farmland in this part of Piedmont Virginia. In both Loudoun and Fauquier, it was stated that if public officials are truly concerned about saving agriculture as a viable, valuable, “industry,” then they are going to have to do something about it, other than merely talking about it. They are going to have to be bold, forthright, innovative and willing to blaze new trails. They are going to have to do something, rather than just hold more “work sessions,” commission more studies, or gather for more seminars. Some possibiliies have been proposed. Some of them seem promising—agricultural districts, purchase of development rights, true agricultural zoning (as opposed to existing rural - residential zoning). None of these are all that revolutionary, either; some states have adopted agricultural district legislation, and in some other places public funds are actually being set aside for purchasing development rights, so that farmers can continue to farm without the financial -squeeze created by development and the soaring land values, and taxation, this means in a once rural area. Frankly, we would have ex pected two counties such as Fauquier, whose planning documents are full of rhetoric about preserving ajgriculture and a rural way of life, to have played a more forceful role in efforts to get agricultural district legislation adopted in Virginia. It’s certainly worth a try, but local elective officials and local delegates to the state legislature often sound as if they’d never even heard about this possible avenue of farmer relief, much less be prepared to vigorously press for it. THE same thing can be said for purchase of development rights, as well. Loudoun County has been particularly full of talk about this suggestion, but aside from commissioning a study, little has been done to push the idea toward some actual applications. Saving valuable farmland from being swallowed up by non productive uses is surely an “idea whose time has come” in the United States, a country once blessed (or cursed, it might be said) by seemingly limitless land to exploit and abuse. Single croppers at one time could drain their acres dry, and then move off the exhausted soil to start all over somewhere else. No more; the land prices “somewhere else” are as likely to be too high for economical farming as the ones he fled. There is no place to run to; we’ve got to start using, and preserving, what we have.O Heart Fund drive Heart disease is still the number one killer in the United States. Alone, in the state of Virginia, 48% of all deaths last year were caused by cardiovascular diseases. The Heart Association is investing millions of dollars each year in research to find the causes of heart disease and to save lives through advances in diagnosis, treatment, surgery and pre vention. “We’re carrying out a campaign in our county now to help with this research,” said Mrs. C. J. Raney, chairman of the fund drive in Rappahannock. “Please be generous and send your contribution to either Mrs. Paul Miller or Mrs. Charles Raney, both of Flint Hill. We’re fighting for your life,” she said. □ Fire department aided by recycling The Recycling Center in Washington is now being operated for the benefit of the Washington Fire Department. It is located behind Merrill Motor Company and is presently open every day. Take old newspapers, cardboard boxes, clean aluminum foil, aluminum cans, clean glass and clean flattened tin cans. Do not bring general trash and garbage or dirty <**nn and glass, as there are no facilities to deal with these. Place items in the appropriate containers and help keep the area clean and straight. Drive cautiously when approaching the recycling trailer, as there are both pets and children in the vicinity. This effort is designed to be beneficial to both the Fire Department and to the environment. Recycling is an important way to conserve our natural resources. □ Letters to the editor He was glad deputy was out on patrol Editor: I was glad a Deputy from the Sheriff’s Department was policing, patrolling, travelling, or what ever you wish to call it, near my property one day. A suspicious character was apprehended and a serious situation averted. Thanks to the vigilance of this department, Rappahannock has been a better place to reside. Castleton Resident Buntin praised Editor: On Sunday in early Spring 1976, Sheriff Buntin (accompanied by one of his deputies) promptly responded to our call for help, heard the complaint and took immediate action which solved the problem. We were highly impressed with the professional competence of this man and feel Rappahannock County is fortunate to have a law enforcement officer of his caliber. Mr. and Mrs. Oren D. Bruton Keep patrolling Editor: I am sure that other absentee property owners in Rappahannock County will join me in urging the continuation of the Sheriff’s Department methods of policing the county. Though I would like to spend all of my time there, at present, it is impossible, so I am glad to have responsible surveilance taking place. Part-time Resident Davis criticized Editor: Apparently Messiah Davis is going to save Rappahannock County. His remarks over the past few months indicate that the State Leg islature is a horde tents, our Board of are a bunch of half-wits, the Board of Zoning Appeals a group of morons, the Game Warden is a goon and the Sheriffs Department a bunch of rogues. Is everyone wrong, inept and incompetent except the Messiah?

Clerk’s office expansion considered At a special meeting on Monday, the Rappahannock Supervisors authorized Chairman Pete Luke to work with local architect Avery Faulkner on alternative designs for the expansion of the clerk’s office. The meeting was scheduled in response to Judge Raynor Snead’s request that something be done immediately to alleviate the overcrowding there. Under Virginia law, the county Board of Supervisors is responsible for providing adequate facilities for Water-Sewer meeting Friday The Rappahannock County Sewer and Water Authority announces a public meeting in the fire hall in Sperryville at 7:30 p.m. Friday, February 18 for the purpose of obtaining citizens’ comments on the proposed Sperryville sewer project. □ DANCING CLASS The English and Scottish Country Dance Class will be held as usual Monday, February 14 at 7:15 at the Episcopal parish hall.D EPISCOPAL SERVICE There will be a special service held at Trinity Episcopal Church, Washington at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, February 23. This Ash Wednesday service will mark the beginning of Lenten preparations for the celebration of our Lord’s act of salvation and redemption at Easter. All are invited to come. □ Farm loans available Loans are available through the Rappahannock County ASCS Office for farm storage bins and drying equipment. There are many advantages of having a storage bin and drying equipment. Prices paid for crops are lower at the peak of the harvesting season. If crops are stored they dan be sold when the prices are at their peaks, because they won’t have to be sold as soon as the crop is harvested. Loans can be made to eligible producers on 70% of the cost of applicable components of the storage bins and drying equipment. The current interest rate is 7-1/2%. Loans at this 7-1/2% interest rate can be made on farm stored wheat, corn and other eligible grains using the grain as collateral. For information on this program and die storage bins and dryer equipment loans, contact theRappahannock County ASCS Office. □ the conduct of the court’s business. Luke reported that there were funds available from the revenue sharing account to finance the limited construction work involved in the expansion of only the clerk’s office. He said the county has $56,304 in school construction money, initially programmed for kindergarten construction, that won’t be needed because of a decrease in enrollment. The amount included in the current budget to cover the costs of reassessment, $18,000, won’t be needed for that purpose either, according to information Luke received from state tax office representatives. He said he was told that the change in state law initially interpreted to require a reassessment in Rappahannock earlier than scheduled, did notapply to the county. In addition, said Luke, only $600 has been spent out of the $12,000 set aside for a landfill. According to a survey from the county auditor, unspent funds available as of February 9 total $151,191, reported Luke. “Can we use 100 per cent revenue sharing funds on this project?” asked Supervisor Dick Latham. “Yes,” answered Luke, and suggested that the Supervisors get an architect to come up with several ideas on “how to give us the most for the least.” He added thatFaulk ner had expressed interest in the job. Luke indicated that he thought construction plans should be kept on a modest scale. “I agree we need additional storage space and some work space. Maybe we could design something with movable partitions,” in order to provide privacy for land transactions. He noted that the additional load on the court house heating system would have to be considered in any expansion. “We can only add so much more to it.” “The first thing we need to do is get an architect,” commented Supervisor H. B. Wood. Fanning Baumgardner told the Board that Faulkner had volunteered to come in and give free advice and ideas on design “and if you wanted to hire him as an architect, fine. If not, it wouldn’t hurt his feelings.” Supervisor Clarence Baldwin favored hiring Faulkner, a Wood ville resident. “I’m in favor of leaving any work in the county that we can if it’s all the same fee,” he commented. “His credentials are right good too,” noted Supervisor Butch Eastham. Luke explained that architectural fees for jobs like the clerk’s office expansion were all basically the same since the fees were based on a percentage of construction costs. Commonwealth Attorney George Davis suggested that Faulkner come to the next regular Supervisor meeting to present an interim report. He questioned Luke’s assertion that all architects set their fees according to the same percentage of construction costs but he didn’t press the point and the Board unanimously approved Luke’s work with Faulkner. □ Jenkinses honored on 27th anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Charles P. Alexander of Huntly hosted a party Sunday, February 6, in Union Hall in Front Royal, honoring the 27th wedding anniversary of the latter’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles H.

BZA approves landfill permit Fran Pace 1 Board of Supervisors Chairman Pete Luke, who attended the meeting and testified, suggested that Foreman make his engineering plan for something less than the total of eight acres mentioned in the Clark-Updike contract. “You should engineer for a time limit,” added Forward. “If we gave approval to a three-acre plot, would that help you?” asked Manwaring, noting that he'd been told that one acre would be needed for a year’s operation in a county with Rappahannock's population. “I think that can be done,” Foreman admitted, somewhat reluctantly. “You’re making a specious argument,” Manwaring continued. “If we set a time limit,-then engineer for it.” “You’ve got eight acres to play with up to the date set,” added Pete Luke. “How can you justify the use of that land that way for only 30 months?” Foreman persisted. “It is very difficult to put in a time limit; they’re too many variables.” IT WAS BZA member George . Muth’s turn to lecture Foreman: “You’re telling Mr. Clark he can’t stand by his contract. You’re restricting his rights.” “We heard this same kind of junk when the gasolines and powerlines came through,” Admiral Gardner commented, “when Frankie the Great pushed through these things as a wartime emergency measure. But these things do not have to be in perpetuity.” “You could wind up with a little dump, and that’s what we don’t want,” said Foreman, returning momentarily to his original po 30-month time limit set over state's objections sition. “You may want it, but we’ve got to do good planning, good engineering, and consider what’s good for the community.” “My feeling is that we give the permit for 30 months, and you can develop the number of acres needed, and if it works out all right... then we’ll hear about that at the time. Maybe by that time we’ll have a whole new Board of Supervisors and they’ll solve the problem.” “Supposing the county doesn’t come up with a landfill, or supposing Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate?” Foreman posed as a final argument. “We could plan it (for a time limit) thusly, but we couldn’t have that stipulation mi the contract.” The vote for the permit with a time stipulation of 30 months, however, wap approved unanimously by me Board of Zoning Appeals. Attorney Doug Baumgardner, who read Kilpatrick’s letter at the outset of the meeting, stated: “My client is happy, and I hope the State is happy, too.” KILPATRICK’S letter, which was endorsed by all but one of the landowners contingent to the Clark property, said that he would not object if landfill operations are restricted and carefully monitor-: ed, and if only allowed for a 30month period. “My feeling,” he wrote, “is that while a sanitary landfill surely will not improve property values along the Rudasill’s Mill Road, it will probably not depress them either. Rappa These are The Sale Days Feb. 17, 18, 19 & 21 All mens & ladies shoes that were on sale are now reduced to 1/2 the original price hannock’s trash must be disposed of somewhere, and if we put up with the nuisance now, perhaps others may be agreeable toward sharing the obligation in the future.” At the beginning of the meeting, Gardner expressed doubts that the BZA could stipulate a 30month limit on the operation. “We can’t say that forever no further use of the site will be made. But we could probably zone it for the duration of the contract. If the Supervisors haven’t done a better job in two-and-a-half years than they’ve done in the past, we’ll have the same hassle all over again.” Baumgardner agreed that the State is requiring 20-year landfill plans from all counties. Pete Luke reported to the BZA that at their January meeting, Rappahannock’s Supervisors had gone on record as being unanimously in support of a private landfill operation, as opposed to a county-owned and operated site. “The Board’s point of view is that we need an executive work session on the processes involved in getting permits for something like a landfill. If this is going to be exercised in public every time, we’ll have problems. If we find four or five pieces of property, all of those will have people for and against, too.” Said Gardner: “We have persistently asked that the zoning ordinances be carried out and that we be permitted to attend your meetings, and you have persistently refused to have us sit in.” Luke said he didn’t know about that. “We wrote you a letter two years ago,” said Gardner. ! _ LUKE said that was before his time, adding: “Be my guest the first Thursday of every month at 10 o’clock it the court house.” “My opinion,” said Gardner, “ is that the bureaucrats who wrote this (landfill) law were thinking of big cities.. .and not small counties like Rappahannock.

I don't think the state can enforce their directive, anyway, without calling out the National Guard.” When Luke complained about the difficulty in finding parcels which are both available and suitable for a landfill, Gardner suggested: “Maybe some of those real estate dealers down in the county offices can find something.” “My personal opinion is that this is a private matter between Mr. Clark and Community Trash,” said Luke, “and if he decides to extend the contract, that’s his business.” “We’re here to protect the county,” said Gardner. “We have to decide at the time (of the contract’s determination),” added Forward. “Maybe the neighbors will object later. To a question’ from Muth, Pete Luke said the Supervisors “have not addressed the Clark property; all we say is we would support any place suitable for a private operation.” And to another question from Manwaring, Luke said the county “has not discarded the idea” of owning its own landfill. “The problem,” Luke went on, “is finding sufficient money and land without causing a big public hassle.” “Take it away from some of that money you’re wasting on the schools,” suggested Admiral Gardner. Foreman was then asked to testify, and he described some of the problems he’d encountered in the 17 counties and nine cities under his jurisdiction. He also said he uses a backhoe to determine the depth of soil on a proposed site: “If we can dig easily, this is what we want.” Water tables can be protected by proper engineering, he said.

Museum representative working in area In an address on antiques given at the first Williamsburg Antiques Forum in 1949, the curator of the American Wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Joseph Downs, concluded that “little of artistic merit was made north of Baltimore.” Mary Witten Neal, field representative of the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts in Winston Salem, North Carolina, is engaged in a project to disprove Downs’s allegation. Neal has been working in the five counties of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission since October, cataloging examples of Southern decorative arts made before 1820. She will be concentrating her efforts in Rappahannock County for the next few weeks. “I’m not out to buy, only to record,” said Neal. The project is aimed towards a better understanding of the type of work Southern craftsmen were doing in early years, she explained. Tracking down leads like a detective, Neal goes into private homes to find examples of furniture, silver, ceramics, textiles, paintings, metal works—anything used in die home for decorative purposes. She emphasized that all of her work is completely confidential. Many people are hesitant about showing her their family treasures, afraid that unsavory characters may get hold of her records, said Neal. To allay fears, she said that all her notations were entered in code with the only key in the desk of the Museum’s director in North Carolina. Some antiques have been passed down from generation to generation without the present owners even realizing that what they’re eating breakfast on is a valuable example of southern craftsmanship. “They think it’s just a table,” she commented. “I don’t go just to see the best furniture but anything made before 1820. Three "other researchers are operating on the project in the Alexandria, Richmond and Peters - burg areas. The cataloging work was first funded by the Museum of Decorative Arts itself and won a Federal grant three years ago, said Neal. The project is expected to continue for at least three more years. Neal said she works primarily through word of mouth leads. Mrs. Smith tells her that Mrs. Jones has some lovely old pieces so she goes to see Mrs. Jones, telling Mrs. Jones where she heard about the antiques and hoping that Mrs. Jones knows Mrs. Smith. Most of the time, this method works out well but occasionally, the antique owner doesn’t recognize the tipster’s name. People in cities are paticularly People in cities are particularly suspicious, worrying about the possibility of robbers, said Neal. “People even call down there to the Museum to check up on us but it’s understandable. She stressed again that everything is recorded in her books by number and she doesn’t tell anyone what she found in the previous homes she visited. Anyone in the county interested in helping with the project by allowing their family antiques to be catalogued as examples of southern craftsmanship can contact Mary Witten Neal at The Homeplace, Route 1, Box 37, Rixeyville or call 937-5431. □ Mary Witten Neal Race date approaching Warmer weather found Virginia’s horses and riders getting into condition for the Rappahannock Point-to-Point Races to be held on Saturday, March 5.

Fire department grants available RURAL fire departments may once again benefit from the Federal Rural Development Act of 1972. State Forester W.F. Custard, stated that the $53,000 grant made available last year permitted the purchase of necessary equipment for 139 rural fire departments. Since the Act went into effect in 1972, a total of $123,677 in grant money has assisted 253 fire departments. This year the same amount of grant money ($53,000) is available for allocation to qualifying rural departments. The Virginia Division of Forestry is charged with the administration of the Virginia grant and will absorb the administrative costs to allow the full $53,000 to be available to the rural fire departments. The grant money is to be used to assist rural fire departments which service communities having populations of less than 10,000. Emphasis is to be placed on assistance with training and the purBloodmobile visit A Red Cross Bloodmobile will be at the National Guard Armory, Warrenton on Thursday, February 24, from noon to 5:45 p.m. The quota is 125 pints. The need for blood is great. All healthy persons between the ages of 17 and 66 whose last donation was 56 days ago are eligible to donate. A permission form signed by parent or guardian is required for 17-year-old donors. chase of small equipment items. The funds are available in a matching basis, said Custard. THE ACT provides the following guide lines for use in setting priorities for the funds: 1. Preference must be given to those fire departments that have applied for or have received loans from the Federal Housing Administration under Title II. 2. Preference should be given to the newer fire companies. In order to be eligible for a grant consideration, continued Custard, a fire department must be able to answer “yes” to the following questions: 1..Does the department service a community with a population of 10,000 or less? 2. Is the request for assistance in organizing, training or equipment? (Large equipment, such as a truck, cannot be considered) 3. Is the department able to match half or more of the grant requested? IF THE answers to these questions are “yes,” the department may make application for a grant. This is done by executing United States Government of Agriculture Form AD-623, which is available from and must be forwarded to the Virginia Division of Forestry county representative or the nearest District office of the Virginia Division of Forestry.

Rappahannock Directory The Rappahannock Directory is almost ready for the printing presses, according to organizer Laurie Marshall. Marshall and a few friends began work on the project several months ago as an attempt to help people, old and young, stay in the county and work instead of commuting to the Washington, D.C. suburbs to find employment. Directory forms were placed in local stores and the group embarked upon several fund raising projects. Marshall asked that all comDleted forms be returned to Box 104, Route 1, Sperryville by the end of February. Anyone without a form who is interested in being in the Directory can send in a statement of skills, areas of knowledge, products or tools that he or she wants to make available and at what rate, either cash or barter. Marshall also asked that interested persons send in lists of any services they may require. A fund raising dance has been tentatively scheduled for late February or early March. The exact date will be announced later. □ DEEDS OF RECORD Walter M. Burke and wife to Albert W Ward and others, 3.41 acres; Stonewall District, $1700. William F.

4-H Center planned near Front Royal PLANS are under way for construction of a $6 million 4-H Educational Center near Front Royal to serve the 1,286,000 persons, including 35,000 4-H club members, who live in 18 northern Virginia counties and the city of Alexandria. The center will be owned by a self-sustaining, non-profit corporation—the Northern Virginia 4H Educational Center, Inc,—which has been chartered as a nonprofit organization by the State Corporation Commission. The center will be managed by its board of directors and the Cooperative Extension Division, of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. A campaign to raise capital funds to build the facilities will be launched this spring. The center will be built on 229 acres, formerly a part of the site of the Beef Cattle Research Station, five miles south of Front Royal, in Harmony Hollow, adjacent to Shenandoah National Park. Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson of the Seventh District was instrumental in obtaining the acreage from the General Services Administration. BUILDING plans call for six winterized cabin clusters to accommodate 80 persons each, one winterized cabin cluster for infirmary and staff housing, a main lodge with dining hall, conference facilities and sleeping quarters. In addition, there will be a manager’s residence, an animal center, including a horse stable and riding ring, as well as a swimming pool, playing fields, tennis courts, trails, and rifle and archery ranges. At an organizational meeting in Fredericksburg, the officers were elected from the board of directors. They are President, Samuel Jones of Winchester; first vice president, Giles Miller of Culpeper; second vice president, Mrs. Dorothy Samson of Owens; secretary, Mrs. Mary Helen Loftin of Front Royal; treasurer, Arthur Seippel of Clifton. Dr. Kenneth Dawson of Blacksburg, state 4-H director, Cooperative Extension Service, VPI&SU, will serve as advisor to the board and officers in the management of the center. Although primarily for 4-H Club use, the center will be available to other youth and adult nonprofit groups when not in use by 4-H, according to Jones. More than 260,000 young persons from 9 to 19 live in the northern district, which is the fastest growing area in Virginia, Jones said. When completed the center will be able to accomodate 450 persons at a time. In addition to the cities of Alexandria and Fredericksburg, the center will serve the counties of Arlington, Caroline, Clarke, Culpeper, Fairfax, Fauquier, Frederick, King George, Loudoun, Madison, Orange, Page, Prince William, Rappahannock, Shenandoah, Stafford, Spotsylvania and Warren. The center, Jones said, will be similar to the West Central Center at Wirtz, Va. THE program to build this center was started this spring by a steering committee consisting of H. Robert Edwards, of Winchester, Sam Spangler, of Fredericksburg, Mrs. Joan duPont of Bluemont; Charles Rector of Manasas, Seippel, Miller and Blair. Commenting on the project, Gov. Sales and Service Outlet Culpeper Music Center 200 N. Main St. 825-1329 Mills E> Godwin, Jr., said: “Virginia’s 4-H programs have been of incalculable benefit to rural and urban young people for many years, developing the qualities of leadership, responsibility, and complete citizenship. “The Northern Virginia 4-H Educational Center will enhance those objectives for young people Over a wide area, and I commend those who have undertaken the responsibility for its financing and con- ' struction.” Cattle, calf prices advance again SOUTHEASTERN producers received slightly to sharply higher prices during the week ended February 10 for cotton, vegetables, broilers, hens, grain and cattle, USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service reported.

The event, planned early in the year so that buyers, interior designers and architects can view, buy and commission the work of those represented, will highlight the most extensive collection of fine American crafts to date. Kramer won first prize at the 1976 Virginia Crafts Council Show in Charlottesville.□

THE DELEGATE’S REPORT By DF.I.. D. FRENCH SLAUGHTER, Jr. IN THIS report I am continuing to deal with the educational mandates which the state imposes upon the localities. Last week I discussed the kindergarten requirements and the limitations on class in kindergarten through the first three grades. The basic school aid fund in the state budget is the source of most state funds distributed to the localities for public school operations. The formula for the distribution of these funds and certain mandates are in that part of the budget act creating this fund. One of these mandates is a requirement to spend a certain amount per student in operational expenditures ($790 is the amount this year). This requirement is not absolute and if a locality finds that it can finance quality education at a lower cost it can spend less down to a certain minimum ($735 this year) of the required per student expenditures. The state provides a share based on a formula which attempts to provide more aid to the poorer localities. A locality with average wealth will receive 50 percent of the required expenditures from the state. The measures of local wealth are based on a combination of factors - 50 percent real estate value, 40 percent on per capita income, and 10 percent on retail sales. The formula is quite complicated but it is less complicated than the old formula which was repealed several years ago and it has a substantial advantage in that real estate values are 50 percent of the factors measuring local wealth where it was 100 percent in the prior formula. ON THE per student expenditures the average expenditure in the state is considerably above the state requirements and few, if any, localities this year have taken advantage of the provision allowing a basic expenditure below $790. No locality in the state was as low as the sum of all state requirements (including those in the basic school aid fund) for local expenditures for public school operations. In addition the state pays intb Warning for farmers The Virginia Pesticide Association, a non-profit organization promoting the proper and safe use of agricultural chemicals, has learned that some companies are making false claims when selling pesticides to farmers over the telephone. Farmers should avoid these firms because most of the chemical companies involved are using high pressure and exaggerated claims in many instances to sell their pesticides, an Association Statement warns. They claim that the farmer can save money by buying direct from the manufacturer, when in reality the chemical is diluted (weakened) and the farmer pays many times more than for a similar product from his local farm supply dealer. Farmers are encouraged to buy from local reputable dealers and under no circumstances should they buy before checking the label and verifying the contents of the pesticide. If farmers are in doubt about purchasing chemicals over the telephone, they are encouraged to check with their local County Extension Service or the Virginia Department of Agriculture.□ BIRTH ANNOUNCED Mr. and Mrs. Philip Lee Thornton, III of Sperryville announce the birth of a daughter, Felicia Lee Cary, February 11, 1977 at Culpeper Memorial Hospital.

Main Street Culpeper 8&-UU11 | the local school funds am amount equal to 60 percent of the average cost of educating handicapped children and the handicapped children are also contained in the figures for the regular reimbursement on a per student basis. This is to comply with the state mandate on providing education for handicapped children. There is also a Federal Law and Federal court decisions on this case which go further than the state law and cause a financial problem of unknown proportions and with no solution available at the present time. The other financial mandate imposed by state law is the requirement of 48 professional personnel for each 1,000 students. This is lower than the number of professional personnel in all Virginia school divisions except one and the average last year was 58. The state does not contribute to the building of schools and there are certain accrediting standards which are set by the State Board of Education. Also, there are other categories of state aid for public school operations including funds for instruction of gifted children and transportation which involves local funds, too, but the points mentioned do cover most of the funding requirements for operations of public schools as opposed to capital outlay for school buildings. MOST of the requirements mentioned here are imposed in the law setting standards of quality for the public schools in accordance with the Virginia Constitution. A number of other standards are also set out in the law but they do not impose additional financial requirements upon the localities. Further, the legislature has provided that the localities are required to provide the programs mandated by law only to an extent proportionate to the funding provided by the legislature. To sum up, in some respects the legislature has gone too far in educational mandates such as kindergartens and the inflexible class size requirement but it has provided its share of funding in the other standards imposed such as the required per pupil expenditure, education of handicapped children and the number of teachers required. Next week I will have another legislative report. □_ EXCELLENT SELECTION DIAMONDS. WATCHES I Specializing in Watch Repair. 323 SOUTHGATE SHOPPING CENTER PHONE 825-6033 CULPEPER.

BZA approves landfill permit From Fm« “Even a permanent spring is no problem; we can drain those off under the landfill.” Foreman said new engineering testing procedures developed during the past ten years have largely supplanted existing county soil maps. “Those maps don't always tell the story; you’ve got to get in there and dig.” He said he’d helped study Rappahannock soils 30 years ago, and that at that time they considered themselves lucky “if we could go down three feet.” But a soil study conducted on the Updikes’ first proposed site (which the BZA rejected> “completely debunked what we’d found 30 years ago.. .(That site) had a lot of good points to it.” He also assured the BZA members that the State Water Control Board would take special care to make sure no Streams were affected by leachate from the landfill. If any problem was found, holding ponds could be constructed, and if problems persisted, a treatment plant could be built with Federal matching grants. FOREMAN then described his difficulties with a time limitation. “We plan on the basis of the life of the given land that’s in use. If it’s eight acres, then we develop an engineering plan for that site, and we want to put it back as near as good as new as possible. If you put landfills here and there all over the county, you run into problems.” Foreman warned.that since engineers have had only ten years’ experience with landfills, there is a lot they still do not know, and they’d rather have one site than many to deal with. “Exactly what that garbage will do ten years from now, we don’t know. We’re getting compounds that we don’t even know what they are, combinations of garbage, plastics, paints, all combinations.” But he assured Manwaring that great pains would be taken to protect water supplies. “What’s wrong with a small site if ten years from now you find you’ve been doing it all wrong?” asked Gardner. “If we have 100 holding ponds, you have a problem. It would be better to have only one or two,” said Foreman. HE declined to answer questions from several Board members as to what happens if a landfill is not operated to state stand WOODVILLE NEWS By MRS.

Ricketts of Washington, Va. and Mrs. Dorothy Jenkins of Woodville. □ MENS' & WOMENS' AMERICAN TOURISTER LUGGAGE 1000 Series ards, maintaining that it was a problem he’d not had to face yet. He also said he’d never had to recommend a treatment plant, that holding ponds had been sufficient up to now where there were leachate problems. As to the specific site in question, Foreman said that while he’d done no* borings, “it looks good... I’d be happy with the site if we could go with a general plan, and not regard it as a stopgap.’’ John Schafer, the one contiguous landowner who had not signed a petition favoring use of the site, told the BZA that “I didn’t come to oppose this, on a two-and-a-half year basis, on which it was proposed—all of us should pitch in to help solve a problem. But I’m very disturbed to hear you talking about a much longer period. I hope the Board will condition any approval on the limited term being proposed.’’ Added Schafer: “I think you’ll have some real opposition the next time this permit comes up. We’re upset and so we can’t endorse it, but we don’t oppose it, either, on a limited basis.” Schafer also said he understood there would be no garbage deposited at the site. Both Foreman and Luke told him this was not so, that while county ordinances stated that garbage should not be deposited in trash containers, it often was. “If this is properly done, you won’t know the difference,” Gardner assured Schafer. Foreman also told him that in other landfill operations, there have been no problems with rats. But Foreman could not give assurances that water flowing into Schafer’s property would not be affected. “But the State Water Control Board will sample it for you.. .on a demand basis. If we suspect leachate, we’ll correct it.” LEE PAYNE, a landowner who had signed the petition, said from the audience that his endorsement was strictly related to the 30-month time limitation. “People who signed file petition were led to believe there was a time element,” he said. And as the time limit point was further discussed, Foreman conceded that it might be possible to engineer the site in sections, so that one part could be completed without disturbing the others. But he added: “My director has said there will be no temporary permits.”—Ray Dilley □ BIG STOREWIDEWWW*** FRIDA V - SA TURDA Y - MONDA Y - TUESDA Y Low, Knock Down and Drag Out Prices • SHOES • MENS SUITS • DRESSES * LADIES COATS • BOYS CLOTHING • LADIES SPORTSWEAR • HOUSEWARES LERNER’S DEPT.

Davis threatens From Page 1 WHEN contacted for comment on Davis’s actions, Supervisor Chairman Pete Luke said that he had written to the State Attorney General requesting an opinion on the duties of a county sheriff, and asking for a reply by April 7. “Patrolling is what the State Police do—looking for speeders, setting up road blocks and radar,” explained Luke. The general duties of the sheriff include checking residences, schools and businesses, areas that the State Police don’t cover. Luke said he had checked with John Jones, criminal justice planner, of the Rappahannock-Rapidap Planning District Commis sion, and had been told that the law enforcement procedures followed by Sheriff Buntin and his deputies were the same as those of police departments in all the Planning District’s counties. Luke added that Culpeper County Manager Jim White informed him that Buntin’s policies were the same as those followed by the Culpeper County Sheriff’s Department. “The Board’s position on this is united,’’ said Luke. Unless there is some concrete reason to doubt the accuracy of the mileage figures, the Supervisors will continue to approve the reports as submitted and signed by Buntin, he said...

Senior citizens helped with fuel During the recent extreme winter weather, the RappahannockRapidan Area Agency on Aging received numerous calls from sen►yor citizens who were unable to pay the high costs of heating their homes. The Area Agency on Aging responded by setting up a special emergency fuel program to assist persons over 60 who were in critical need of fuel supplies. Grants of up to $50 were made on a onetime basis to 28 persons in Orange, Culpeper, Madison and Rappahannock counties. After receiving a request for help, the Area Agency on Aging placed an order for the appropriate kind of fuel and sent the payment directly to the gas, electric oil or wood supplier. Staff members from the Nutrition Services program in each county were helpful in identifying emergency situations and in arranging fuel deliveries. In some instances, where people were unable to get out or were short on money because of high fuel bills, Nutrition Services staff members also purchased and delivered a week’s supply of groceries. Contributions for the latter service were accepted where offered. The Area Agency on Aging, which is sponsored by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Mental Health and Mental Retardation Services Board, set up this emergency system because local welfare departments had no funds at that time specifically designated for emer gency fuel. Recently, local welfare departments in Orange, Culpeper, Rappahannock and Madison counties have received small amounts of funds for emergency fuel grants. Grants of up to $50 may be made on a one-time basis to persons in emergency circumstances. The money will be paid directly to the fuel supplier. If older persons need fuel assistance, they should contact their local welfare or social services department. □ HUNTLY Miss Sherry Burke celebrated her third birthday Friday with a party in the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Burke.
