Rappahannock News, March 17, 1977

School budget draft presented by Norton THE Rappahannock School Board began work on next year’s school budget at Tuesday night’s meeting., Superintendent O. A. Norton handed out a “preliminary and tentative draft of figures” to the Board members. “This is not for public dissemination at this point,” he said, since several categories are subject to change.. “The General Assembly has gone home but I’ve received no information from the State Education Department’ ’ on revenues. He emphasized that the Board must consider how far the state was out of line on estimates of sales tax revenues last year. “The state estimated we’d get $20,000 more than what we finally came up with,’’ Norton said. He added that additional funds may still come in that will put the estimate only $17,000 off. Norton said he had worked up several tentative teacher salary scales, with special consideration to starting salaries. Rappahannock, when compared to neighboring counties, is now falling behind faster in minimum salary. “We were falling back at thetop^ of the scale but we gave some Attention there.” Out of four scales presented by Norton, he said one starting at $8,500 with increment increases of $250 appeared to be the most competitive with surrounding counties. The scale awards higher percentage increases at the bottom than at the top, he noted. “We still won’t be up with everybody,” Norton said. ACCORDING to his preliminary figures, the tentative budget will require an increase of $50,000, or approximately ten per cent, in county funds for school operations. “If we get 60 students enrolled in kindergarten, that’s a four percent increase in students,” said Norton. Kindergarten will account for a large part, roughly 35 percent, of the total budget increase, he noted. In the area of administration, a new full-time superintendent and census costs accounted for the major increases, said Norton. In Talent show An amateur talent program will be held March 18 at 8 p.m. under the sponsorship of the Amissville Ruritan Club. This will be the second annual talent program undertaken by this club. The program will be held at the Rappahannock County Elementary School. Entries will be judged in two categories, music and drama and also in two groups, elementary and high school age. Total prize money to be awarded is $100. Tickets will be sold in advance at 75 cents lor students and $1.25 for adults. The price at the door will be higher, $1 for students and $1.50 for adults. For information call H.B. Settle at 9374691 or Scott Jenkins at 9374368.u creases in instructional costs were primarily the result of a tentative 5.9 per cent salary scale raise and the hiring of additional kindergarten teachers and aides, according to Norton. He estimated that the total cost of the state mandated kindergarten program would be $36,050. TO OFFSET the increase, Norton said he anticipated state funds would go up $30,000 but that Federal funds would remain the same. According to state estimates, Rappahannock will receive $178,000 in sales tax revenues but Norton said he included only $170,000 in formulating the budget. “We should finalize the budget by April 1,” said Norton, asking that Board members study the information he had provided. A special budget session is scheduled for Friday, March 18 at 7:30 in the Elementary School library. 5' > sure sign of Spring—field and brush fires are a hazard of the dry windy weather early Spring so extreme caution must be exercised and burning laws obeyed. This scene recently at Five Forks required the services of Sperryville and Washington Fire Companies. Between eight and ten acres were burned over. Virginia’s fire laws Although winter may not be over, signs of spring are apparent. The onset of such activities as gardening, “spring cleaning,” land clearing, camping, and hiking have worsened an already hazardous fire situation. Virginia has several laws which are intended to protect the timber resources, wildlife and rural homes and farmlands from the destruction caused by wildfires. The 4 o’clock burning law is now in effect and occasionally causes some confusion. This law states that no open burning can be done within 300 feet of woodlands (or any material capable of spreading a fire to woodlands) except bet ween the hours of 4 p.m. and midnight. The law applies to burning from March 1 through May 15, which generally is the most fire-prone period due to the dead, dry fuel which has accumulated over the winter. State Forest Wardens and other officials do not have the authority to issue permits allowing burning which takes exception to the law. Some of the other important fire laws are listed below. These are in effect the year round. 1. Any time that a fire is built in the open air within 150 feet of woodlands (or any other material capauie 01 spreading a fire), the fire must be totally extinguished before it is left unattended. 2. All reasonable care and precaution must be taken prior to any open burning. 3. Any time a fire escapes into woodlands or brushlands as a result of carelessness, negligence, or intention, the person responsible for the fire will be liable for the expenses of suppressing the fire. While these state laws may seem complicated, they are purposeful: The vast majority of forest fires are caused by" man. Direct any questions to the County Forester or Chief Forest Wank

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Plan carefully A LETTER writer this week exhorts the county to get ready to battle development pressures , and one of the things that is recommended for the county’s arsenal is a Master Plan. We realize that master plans are required to be adopted by all Virginia Counties by 1980, but in the process of complying with state law, it would be our advice that Rappahannock consider very carefully the plan it adopts. Often, a master plan can be a blueprint for development— not for blocking development. In Virginia, the courts have held that once an area is planned for development, then a developer must be given permission to do so. The pitfall to avoid, then, is not to over-plan for development. Fauquier was one of the first Virginia counties to adopt a master plan. Once it was adopted, many of that county’s citizens—the ones who like the quiet, clean, rural lifestyle that was handed down to them from past centuries—leaned back and relaxed. “We’re safe now,” some said. “We’ve got a Master Plan.” THEY were “safe” for awhile only because their county was beyond the outer fringes of comfortable commuting to the metropolitan Washington area. Now that those limits are being extended by the completion of 1-66, Fauquier County is no longer “safe” from the same development pressures which have transformed so much of Virginia to the east and north. And they are especially vulnerable in many respects because that vaunted Master Plan called for so much development, that if fulfilled, Fauquier’s population would practically equal the present day population of Fairfax! Fauquier officials are currently in the process of revising that Master Plan, but in many respects, it has already been too late. Hundreds of lots have already been built on, and thousands more are plotted— and no matter whether or not the Master Plan is revised downward in its population projections, those platted lots have a “vested interest” and can be developed. RAPPAHANNOCK has no choice but to conform to state law and draw up a Master Plan, but it should be especially careful about how it plans for its future. Unlike England, American counties cannot plan “no growth” zones—greenbelts, or whatever you call them. They cannot bar excessive population by planning fiat. They must accommodate growth. It is up to far-seeing citizens and public officials to make as absolutely certain as possible that the growth that is projected is as reasonable and as manageable as the limits of the law will allow. Otherwise, there will go Rappahannock—in the company of Fairfax, Prince William, and large parts of Loudoun and Fauquier. □ SPECIAL SERVICE The Five Forks Regular Baptist Church of Woodville will have a special service Monday, March 28 at 7:30 p.m. The speaker will be the Rev. Tom Kelly, a prison minister, who will speak on his work in these institutions. MEMBERSHIP DRIVE The annual membership drive of the Auxiliary of the Culpeper Memorial Hospital will be held Thursday and Friday, March 24 and 25. Pink Ladies will be at the downtown offices of the New Bank of Culpeper, Second National Bank and the Fidelity American during banking hours. Dues may also be paid at the hospital or call Mrs. Wister Weaver at 825-0153. □ Park visitation Visitation to Shenandoah National Park increased slightly in February this year as compared to 1976 but for the two-month period this year the visits decreased. In 1976 there were 160, 400 during January and February as compared to 140,000 this year, or a decrease of 12.7%. Weather statistics at Big Meadows showed the maximum temperature as 65 degrees and the minimum as 5 below. Snowfall measured an inch and precipitation was .86 inch.D Letters to the editor Board is urged to heed Buntin Editor: I read with interest the Board of Supervisors discussion on the need for more assistance for the Sheriff. As a week-ender, I’d like to exercise my limited right to an opinion. The idea of measuring the Sheriff’s justification by the complaints about his performance, as advanced by one Supervisor, seems asinine to me. Sheriff Buntin is a man of considerable judgement and integrity and I believe his recom mendations are entitled to careful consideration. Although it may be possible to maintain Rappahannock in pristine purity forever, it is certain that our neighboring cities and counties will see to it that the Sheriff’s business keeps expanding. I hope the Supervisors will judge the question objectively on its merits. If the answer is more law enforcement resources, I will be happy to pay my share. Oliver W. Bagby Capt. USN (Ret.) Protect the county Editor: Let us resort again to the not uncomely practice, of 200 years age, of rising pen names to debate an issue. By this technique personalities, personal abuse, and other petty trivialities are set aside; only the issue at hand is addressed and addressed frankly. The issue in this series of epistles, and I hope it will be a series, expressing all viewpoints, is how to maintain and improve the special rural quality of Rappahannock county while accommodating to growth pressures. Farming is still Rappahannock’s principal business and its continuing existence is essential to our healthy and pleasant way of life. This nation must retain family farms, open space, grassland and forests to survive. But land butchers and speculators are constantly eroding our beautiful land, denying its use to the farmer or forester, its production of needed food and fiber, and its contribution to a healthy environment. Perhaps the worst of these vultures are those who buy open space or forested land and subdivide it into five-acre atrocities, too small to farm and too big to mow. Their argument that their “intent is to provide healthy homesites to those people who cannot afford to buy farms” is laughable. Their intent is to make money. They either have little regard for or are unaware of the conseQUences Of such dfivplnnmpnts What are the consequences? Look at the counties between Rappahannock and the Big City. They once looked like Rappahannock too but are being paved over with random developments which have little regard (except when forced on them) for location of schools, drainage systems, road networks of anything other than profit. Then what follows the subdivision? The shacks, the ramblers, the pre-fabs polka-dot the hillsides and line up along the roadsides. Services to their occupants necessitate higher taxes. Inflated value of the land pushes the property taxes even higher forcing farmers to give up; denying them even the right to pass the farm on to their children. Congestion and pollution, crime, cost of police and fire protection, noise, trash, construction eye sores, ugly signs, traffic lights all increase too. And everyone’s taxes rise to attempt to cope with these problems. The only things that diminish are wild life, fresh air, natural beauty, and healthy living. This is now beginning to happen to us. The first serious attempts to subdivide since the new zoning laws are upon us. But we are not prepared. We lack a comprehensive land use plan in Rappahannock County despite its obvious utility and the State requirement for its inception by 1980. There is no planning to save farms and open space, to allow residential development in manageable clusters around existing towns, schools and facilities. There are no specific areas, as in England, beyond which the village will not extend or ridges on which no structure can be placed, to preserve skylines. There is only planning by the land vultures to subdivide and only our vulnerable zoning laws (for which we are indeed grateful) to try to control them. We read that non-residents (speculators?) now own more than half of Rappahannock county. A substantial fraction of residents also hold property they intend—or feel forced—to subdivide; they have the impression that, if sufficiently remote from their own homes, the subdivision will not affect their own lives. But it will. They will rue the day they initiated their own selfdestruction. We farmers do not rdhlly want to subdivide, we do not want increasing taxes and decreasing profits to force us off our farms, to make it impossible for our children to inherit and continue to run the farms. We do not want to see our home land destroyed. What can we do?

F 0 X ?iowtley Farming conference held at Syria EVERYTHING from Agricultural Districts to Zero Population Growth was brought into the discussion at the second Farm Conference sponsored by the Piedmont Environmental Council, the V. P. I. Extension Service and the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District, held last Saturday at Graves Mountain Lodge near Syria. Nearly half of those attending were farmers, and half of the farmers attending were full-time farmers. Former Ambassador Murat Williams presided. In his opening remarks he stated that the world population is now over four billion; by 1985 it will be five billion, and by the year 2000 it will be eight billion. Since the United States is now feeding nearly half of the world, the task looming ahead is enormous, particularly in the face of the fact that we are losing valuable farmland to other uses each year. Frank Walker, Madison County dairyman, put it another way. One acre, he said, is “consumed” by each four person increase in the population. With a projected 1.8 million increase in population in the Washington Metropolitan area by the year 2000, this translates to a consumption of 300,000 acres of Virginia land by that time. Walker noted a “jurisdictional hodgepodge” that will take a real landmark decision somewhere along the way to cut across state boundaries to control the use of land. “Nobody,” he said, “wants the Feds to get into the land use business, but let’s face it, they are in and they must be in. Perhaps the same agency ought VICTOR ELECTRONIC PRINTING CALCULATOR 12 Digit - $149®® Sales & Rentals CULPEPER BOOK STORE 210 North Main St. Culpeper to control both energy and land use.” Opening speaker Dallas Miner, author and land use expert, pictured the plight of the farmer with a simple story of three brothers who inherited a million dollars each. The first one used his money to go into the real estate business, the second one used his money to set up a travel bureau, and the third one decided to keep on farming. . .” until the money ran out. . . ” House Delegate Andy Guest echoed the same sentiments when he said that farming will remain a free enterprise only as long as it is practical. Farmers will not remain farmers and keep their land in farming if they cannot make any money and if they are taxed out of existence. But, Guest warned, government can do nothing for you without taking something from you. A PANEL discussion on the future of farming in the Piedmont area included A. J. Boyle, Culpeper County Planning Commission Chairman; Bill Speiden, Orange County dairyman; B. Powell Harrison, Board Chairman of the Piedmont Environmental Council; Frank Walker, Madison County dairyman and former Planning Commission Chairman; and Joe Keesee, Culpeper banker. Murat Williams was moderator. Featured speaker at noon was Congressman Kenneth Robinson, who spoke of impending legislation concerning agriculture, and briefly of the problems in United States Department of Agriculture at the present. “The phone rings,” he said, “but no one answers.” Many of the top jobs in USDA have not yet been filled. Prompt action is necessary, however, as the 1973 farm legislation expires this year. Sen. Herman Talmadge has drawn up a farm omnibus bill which is before the senate. This bill covers everything from price support through pesticide control and includes food stamps. How much of this will become part of the new Agricultural control bill remains to be seen. Agricultural Secretary Bergland favors a grain reserve program and greatly intensified research. The value of research was illustrated in a report by J. Paxton Marshall of a February Farm Policy conference held in Charlottesville. The conference had world-wide representation and one of the new break-throughs report ed was that microbes which produce the nitrogen-releasing modules on the roots of alfalfa have now been induced to perform in the same fashion on the roots of grain. Bruce Little, Culpeper extension agent specializing in farm management, gave a slide presentation on leasing and the transfer of development rights; G. L. Russell. representative of the International Harvester Company, presented the new computerized crop control system developed for eventual use in northern North Carolina and southeastern Virginia. Exchange student plans to travel Rappahannock Lions Club, which is sponsoring Connie DelGrossoof Flint Hill as an Exchange Youth this summer, has announced that she will be going to Switzerland. Box tops due Parents ol' students at Rappahannock County Elementary School and other interested patrons are reminded that they have only until the end of this month, March 30, to send Post cereal box tops to the physical education department of the school.

Puryear, Jr., will continue to have his principal office in Johnsongrass taking over your corn? Get Eradicane Selective Herbicide 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 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. Stauffer Chemical Company Agricultural Chemical Division P.O.

Paul A. Poling of the Amissville Fire Department uses “Ann,” a lifesized demonstration dummy, to show John Toth of Rappahannock High School the proper techniques of resuscitation. (Photo by Gregory Mansfield Turner) Resuscitation demonstrated Fireman Poling of the Amiss - ville Fire Department recently demonstrated advanced techniques of artificial resuscitation to teachers and students at Rappahannock County High School, with the assistance of a specially made rubberized human model. Paul A. Poling has been president of the Amissville Fire Department for nine years and is presently concentrating on educating the public on new methods of artificial respiration in cases of respiratory paralysis caused by drowning, electric shock, poisoning, choking, gas or smoke inhalation and other instances of cessation of breathing by victims. Poling said, “These techniques are essential in order to get oxygen to the brain cells, which would deteriorate without resuscitation.” “The victim is laid in a prone position with chin pointed upward, ’ ’ he said. “The reviver’s mouth is placed over the victim’s mouth or nose and breath is blown into the respiratory track at the rate of approximately 12 breaths per minute for an adult and 20 breaths for a child. This is continued until the patient resumes natural breathing or professional help arrives.’’ “The information gained by the assembly may prove helpful in the event of some future emergency and the demonstration of these new techniques were made especially interesting with the assistance of ‘Ann,’ a synthesized maniquin,” he added.

Mr. and Mrs. JacK Hamilton of Legal Notice NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF A PROPOSED TEMPORARY INCREASE IN RATES BY THE POTOMAC EDISON COMPANY Notice is hereby given to the public that The Potomac Edison Company, on January 10, 1977, filed with the State Corporation Commission of Virginia an application requesting authority to place in effect for electric service provided on and after March 1, 1977, a temporary surcharge, to remain in effect until such time as a complete investigation can be conducted, and a public hearing held, to determine the need for a permanent rate increase, if any. The temporary surcharge proposed by the Company, if allowed to become effective, would result in a 4.274 percent surcharge on existing rate schedule charges except special schedules for space heating and water heating. The temporary surcharge for space heating and water heating rates, if allowed to become effective, would result in an 8.548 percent surcharge on those existing rates. The surcharge rates would apply to basic rates, excluding any charges resulting from the fuel adjustment clause. Company states that this surcharge would produce additional gross revenues of $1,092,574 . on an annual basis. Such additional revenues would be separately accounted for on Potomac Edison’s books and records in order that Company could refund any amounts, together with interest, found excessive after a full investigation and public hearing to determine its needs for a permanent rate increase. is vmpaujr uiiuciiu* uidi u neeos prompt temporary rate relief because, among other things, (1) its1 earnings are substantially less than were authorized by the Commission in the Company’s last rate case in 1975, and (2) Company is in immediate need of additional revenues in order to maintain its financial health and capacity to render adequate public service to its Virginia customers. Company requests that the proposed surcharge go into effect on March 1, 1977, pursuant to SM-240 of the Code of Virginia, without suspension. However, the Commission, has by Order of February 17, 1977, suspended the effective date until May 1, 1977, pending an investigation by its Staff. A hearing will be held, commencing at 10:00 A.M., March. 28, 1977, in the Commission’s Courtroom, Blanton Building, Richmond, Virginia. The purpose of the hearing will be to receive evidence from the Company and the Commission’s Staff regarding the Company’s need for a temporary rate increase prior to a complete investigation and public hearing.
