RICHMOND 19, VA. 23219 C 28th Year, No.-27 8 Pages The County Family Newspaper Founded 1877 Washington, Virginia MAY 20 1977 <=-|-ATF I IARARV Phone 675-3349 THURSDAY, MAY 19,1977 Sewage Problems Continue Superintendent of Schools O. A. Norton predicted at last week’s meeting of the Rappahannock School Board that effluent from the elementary school’s sewage disposal system will not meet new standards set by the State Water Control Board (SWCB), even if conditions at the lagoon improve. Effective July 1, the allowable level of suspended solids will be 30 milligrams per liter, lowered from current standards of 48 milligrams, said Norton. Recent tests at the school show levell'of 60 milligrams. Readings taken last fall at the elementary school’s sewage lagoon were good, said Norton. The system was shut down from Christmas until February 26 with the pond frozen practically all the way through, according to the Superintendent. Then warm weather brought a massive spring turnover, pulling leaves and sediment material to the top of the lagoon, he said. "It was supposed to settle but ours weren’t settling out,” Norton told the Board. Tests taken in March indicated suspended solid levels had shot up to 76 milligrams oer liter. . ' Norton reported that he ’ contacted SWCB officials who checked the site and decided conditions were normal, considering the severe winter. SWCB personnel advised him to wait a couple of months in anticipation of the mess finally settling to the bottom. “Last Friday, it was still not settled out. . .1 became concerned,” Norton continued. Upon the suggestion of School Board member Walter Masterson, Norton contacted Soil Conservationist Bill Adams. According to Norton, Adams said two factors were influencing delayed settling action—low oxygen levels because algae growth had been killed by the freeze and lack of wind storms, which encourage sediment turnover. Norton said Adams suggested the possibility of using an aerator and Norton discussed this solution with SWCB officials. He added that he’d been warned by SWCB people not to use any chemicals to speed up the process. ‘‘Then we had a storm . .and there’s been wind ever since. Yesterday, there was no sediment on top of the lagoon but it’s still muddy,” continued Norton. “I think our next test should be better.” “It’s still going to be difficult for us to meet the new standards of 30 milligrams per liter set by the SWCB. I doubt seriously if we can,” Norton warned. He noted that the lagoon system . had been constructed to meet Melinda Ubben Patsy Robinson Carol Skowronsld Donna Cannon Cheryl Brown HONOR GRADUATES of the class of 1977 at Rappahannock County High School have been announced. They are Melinda Ubben, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Edward Ubben of Chester Gap; Patsy Robinson of Castleton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John A. Jenkins; Carol Skowronski whose parents are Mr. and Mrs. Frank Skowronski of Washington, first, second and third, respectively. Tying for fourth place are Donna Cannon of Castle ton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ray T. Cannon and Cheryl Brown, of Sperryville, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George R. Hagerty of Sperryville. current SWCB specifications on 48 milligrams per liter. He also mentioned the possibility of using a sand filter system to lower the levels of suspended solids in the effluent. School Board member Paul Nichols suggested that Norton ask Washington resident Brad Fisher, a professional sanitation engineer involved in work in Montgomery County and the Potomac River, for advice. The rest of the School Board appeared to agree with Nichols’ proposal. Norton assured the Board that no health hazard currently existed because of the effluent from the elementary school’s sewage disposal system. The lagoon has not been opened in May and there’s nothing entering the stream, he said. According to Norton, there is a possibility that this practice can continue until the end of school. “I’m letting the level in the lagoon rise,’’ he said, adding that he hoped “no flow” conditions would aid settling residue. "There’s no health hazard but we have 60 parts per million, not 48,” Norton concluded. “The problem is regulatory, not real,” commented Board Chairman E. N. Montague. “I just wanted you to be informed,” Norton responded. Richmond Attorney Mildred B. Slater, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James W. Fletcher of Sperryville, has been appointed to a new judicial appointments advisory commission. Named To Commission Mildred B. Slater, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James W. Fletcher of Sperryville, has been named by Virginia Senator Harry F. Byrd, Jr. to serve on an advisory commission on judicial appointments in the Eastern District of Virginia. The nine member commission will recommend candidates for federal district judgeships. Byrd said a bill pending in the Senate would create four new federal district judgeships in the state, two in the east and two in the west. Byrd will ask his eastern district advisory group to recommend four or five persons for two positions. He said he would forward some or all of the names to President Carter. Byrd called the commission an “experiment, a departure from tradition” and said the idea was being tried at the suggestion of the President.

We want to explore the issue, disseminate information and hear what people have on their minds.” The public is invited-men and women. Other members of the committee are Diana Bird, Delores Dalton, Miriam Harris and Joan St. Clair. Speaking for the committee, Mary Beth Martin said, “The Virginia State Legislature in its 1978 session will probably have an opportunity to vote ERA up or down. Whoever is elected to represent our legislative district should have the benefit of informed opinion on the part of voting citizens. We believe that there is a need for education and information on ERA. 1 have found in speaking to people about it that they are unsure of the amendment’s Meeting Set The 1977 spring meeting of the Blue Ridge Mountain Estates Civic and Development Corporation will be held at 2:30 p.m., Saturday, May 21, in the Chester Gap Fire Hall. Dinner will be served following the meeting by the ladies in charge. Welfare Budget Confuses Supervisors Total Down While County’s Share Increases Public Assistance Director Elizabeth Buntin appeared before the Rappahannock Supervisors at the May Board meeting to present her department’s budget for the coming year. After Mrs. Buntin went through a brief explanation of some of the programs involved, the Supervisors still didn’t appear to understand the welfare budget, but they took no action to lower county funding levels. Mrs. Buntin’s proposed budget totals $166,708—a decrease of $77,059 over the current year. The county’s , share comprises 19 per cent of the total and amounts to $31,976, an increase of $2,180. “The whole welfare operation has become very complex,” Mrs. Buntin told the Board before beginning her presentation. County accountant Walter Cox interjected that the state required a special form to be used in preparing public assistance budgets. With this form, expenditures are grouped rather than listed as line items, he said. State required forms used in preparing the county’s budget give line items only, he continued. Difficulties arise in transferring information from the public assistance form to the county’s budget form, Cox said. The result is a slightly distorted picture of the total welfare budget. The Beat Fit Supervisor Chairman Pete Luke described the process of transferring Mrs. Buntin’s figures to the form used for the county budget as “finding the best possible fit.” Mrs. Buntin maintained that the Supervisors couldn’t possibly understand the total public assistance budget without going into each program separately. “That would take too much time,” countered Luke. “Then I don’t see how you can decide on funding,” replied Mrs. Buntin. Luke asked if the Supervisors had any control over the salary increases listed in the budget. Mrs. Buntin answered that two persons in her department were scheduled to receive raises in accordance with the salary scale adopted by the Rappahannock Welfare Board. Both classify as merit increases, rather than cost of living raises, and are not under control of the Supervisors, she said. Luke asked Mrs. Buntin for an explanation of the $22,000 increase listed in the county budget for purchased services. “What has happened between last year and this year to cause it to go up that much?” “More programs,” Mrs. Buntin replied. Purchased services include all Title 20 programs and day care, she explained. Companion services included under Title 20 have been expanded with the program’s thrust now towards keeping people in their homes and communities rather than institutional nursing facilities, she noted. (Figures given in the Public assistance budget document rather than in the public assistance category of the county budget show an increase of only $9,108 under purchased services. Apparently, the $22,000 figure cited by Luke is based on the difference between this year’s request and what the Supervisors approved for (Continued on Page 5) RLEP To Host Candidates Candidates for the House of Delegates from this area who are competing for the seat to be vacated by French Slaughter have agreed to state their views on environmental issues at the quarterly meeting of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection on Friday, May 20, at the Court House in Washington. The candidates are George Beard, Republican; John J. "Butch” Davies, Democrat and Robert Murphy, Independent. The RLEP forum is designed to provide voters with an opportunity to learn about each candidate’s position on environmental issues. A question and answer period will follow brief statements from each speaker. RLEP urges everyone who has opinions on matters such as land-use taxes, solar energy subsidies, regional planning, air and water pollution, wildlife preservation, a bottle law requiring re-usable containers for beverages, solid waste disposal or any other subject to attend the meeting and ask the candidates to take a position on these topics. The public from the entire area is invited. Woodville Baptist Church members are making preparations for the 125th anniversary of the establishment of the church, and among other things to be accomplished is the replacement of the steeple and bell which was blown off during the tornado in 1929. The trustees and minister are shown with the bell which will be returned to its place in a new steeple. They are Raymond Johnson, Maurice O’Bannon, James Sykes, James Falls and the minister, the Rev.

This referendum will determine whether producers favor the Beef Research and Information Order described as follows. The Order that producers will consider in the upcoming referendum would authorize a Research and Information Program administered by a Beef Board of up to 68 producers. Board members would be appointed by the Secretary of Agriculture from nominations submitted by producer organizations. Each State or geographic area would be represented in proportion to its cattle production. The Beef Board could initiate a broad spectrum of projects to improve beef production, distribution, and marketing. Such a program could include consumer education and information, and reserach. During the first three years of operation, the Board could collect assessments of up to three-tenths of one per cent of the value of all cattle sold. After that, the rate of assessment could be changed but could not exceed fivetenths of one per cent —maximum amount permitted under the Beef Research and Information Act. Producers not wishing to participate in the program could have their assessment refunded. Anyone who was a cattle producer during 1976 can register to vote either in person or by mail, at the Rappahannock County ASCS Office between June 6 and June 17. A list of those who register will be posted daily at ASCS offices and a final listing will be posted five days after registration closes. Those registered can vote between July 5 and July IS at the Rappahannock County ASCS Office. For approval of the Beef Research and Information Order, at least SO per cent of those registered must vote, and two-thirds or them must favor it.

Thursdays have gone by since February 10th and what a difference those once a week gatherings at the Hampton Inn for our county’s Senior Citizens has made in my life. v I drive the van, picking up t>eople from the Amissville area and from around Little Washington. Usually about 17 of us in the van are met by 20 others who come on their own to the Inn. Sometimes the van is foil of conversation, about who’s sick and who’s coming home from the hospital; the progress of Spring; how gardens are fairing and what’s coming up; raucous jokes and laughter; limmy Carter’s latest plan; the Anna Woods is obviously pleased with her Thursdays. ivuvmivn vt uvtu^ a wiuuiv woman; where the pain is today; what joints the arthritis has attacked over the week. Without fail someone says “I’m not feeling too well but I thank the Good Lord for what I can do, for what I have” and everyone will agree. Sometimes we sing. Sometimes we’re all quiet, moving through the beauty that is Rappahannock’s and noticing the small changes of time that build and build until a person who is young like myself becomes the age of those I’m transporting. I drive the van for this program because of what I get from doing it: love, appreciation, an important perspective on my life that only those who have lived many years can give me, historical knowledge and, of course, my garden is benefiting. My only living grandmother is far away in New York City and I miss her. I have adopted grandparent-friends close by, as my life is less complete without this contact with older people. Scorned? I have heard scorn for the program because of its being considered "Welfare”. I see it differently. All of our senior citizens have worked hard for many years and as their bodies claim a time of rest, many are not as able to have the fellowship with peers they once enjoyed.

A meal once a week is certainly not going to deal with the problem of hungry people in the county. A meal once a week does provide the only opportunity in the County for people of all walks of life to have a common meeting ground where health, safety and social security information is nresented: where oarticioants make drawings of their neighbors and write poems together and sing sweet harmonies; where common problems of aches and pains, losing loved ones, having difficulty hearing and seeing, handling wills and alternatives to expensive funerals can be discussed informally. As the county pays nothing into the program which is supported by federal funds, we receive for free an organizational center for one of our most precious resources, those irreplaceable people who have seen the county change for the last 60 to 100 years. The program is a way of showing respect... At The Inn Every week the staff of the Hampton Inn is ready for us with -a generous dose of warmth, humor and concern served with the food. They involve themselves to the point that they are carrying hot meals to senior citizens they know and giving os v information about people 'who would like to come or need a meal delivered. What makes my Thursdays so special are the almost indescribable things that make people who they are: the way Lucille King can read my mind. Doris Jennings’ innate grandeur. The Phillips sisters’ delicate toughness. The way Sarah Majors’, who has been blind for 20 years, calls every week to speak to Anna Wood, the oldest and one of the spryest people among us, who comes over and sits close as they engage in such respectful and kind communication. The way Lilly Lillard sets down chickens and rabbits and swans, the creatures she’s crocheted, on everybody’s table. The way Bertie Hackley and Mary Burke are always helping out. The way Stan Weaver sits in his car reading his newspaper until he’s ready to come in, joking and energizing, the room as he enters. The eternal graciousness and intelligence of Mary Cleverley. The t'espect and "care Ethel in; everyone. Edgar Hawkins’ perserverance in slowly walking up the long hill from his house to Merril’s Gas Station where he meets the van in order to save us a little time. The way H.

The way Clarence Derring says the blessing. Raymond Hitt’s willingness to try things he’s never done before and Rosie Hitt’s laugh. The way Rita May Jenkins always knows who came in late and is bringing another meal before anyone asks. The way Gibson always checks out if everything’s allright. The way Faye Crescenti sees to it that our people have enough firewood, and someone to help remodel old homes. And to get to the doctor and out to buy their groceries and their social security payments. And the way Dan Wilson always says when the van’s loaded up to take everyone home, “Good bye now, and don’t be gone too long.” THIS LITTLE BOOK CAN MAKE IT ALL HAPPEN SAVE regularly and fulfill your dreams.

Soil Week Announced aou stewardship Week, a nationwide observance which emphasizes man’s responsibility to protect and conserve soil, water, and other natural resources, will be May 15-22 this year, according to Robert Anderson, Director of the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation ©strict. “This year’s theme, ‘When We Care’, will help each to examine his own motives and actions in the conservation of God's manifold gifts,” said Mr. Anderson. “We hope,” said Mr. Anderson, “that during Soil Stewardship Week millions of Americans will pause for a moment to consider their responsibilities for the protection and proper care of the Lord’s earth.” This is the 23rd consecutive year that the national Association of Conservation District, along with almost 3,000 local Districts throughout the nation, has sponsored Soil Stewardship Week. The custom of setting aside special “Rogation Days” for this purpose began more than 1,500 years ago in France, when French peasants prayed for help after crop failures had brought widespread hunger.

JJ The Rappahannock News Election Endorsements Much of our family, community and state destiny for the next four years may be decided by some of the winners of Virginia’s Democratic Primary elections, coming up fast on Tuesday, June 14. Enough is known for this newspaper now to make its choices of the primary candidates we believe will serve us best should they win the November general elections. ANDREW MILLER Born in Fairfax, 44-year-old Andrew P. Miller goes to the voters in the governor’s race with a seven-year tested record as Virginia’s attorney general. His opponent in the primary, Norfolk’s liberal populist Henry Howell is a spunky hard campaigner best known to Virginians, before, during and since his term as the state’s lieutenant governor, for his running battles against “die big boys.” The choice in this race goes to Miller on the ground that both his personal character and public record show the promise of outstanding leadership for Virginia. With intelligence and hard work, he quietly restructured the office of attorney general to provide the people of this state with a highly talented, hardworking and specialized legal team which has both performed better legal services and saved the state millions of dollars. It is significant that as' attorney general, Andy Miller gained the respect of liberals and conservatives alike and earned a national organization’s acclaim last year as Attorney General of The Year. It is further remarkable that in this year’s campaign he has gained the endorsements of state leaders from right and left political wings, as well as the support of many prominent independents and Republicans. His philosophically and politically diverse supporters are comfortable with Miller’s calm, thoughtful and businesslike approach to state government and the issues. In many ways—in a certain warm Southern openness, in razor sharp mind, in commitment to human equality and in a conservative outlook on spending the taxpayer’s money—Andy Miller and Jimmy Carter are much alike. In the governor’s mansion, Virginia would be gifted with Mr. Miller’s lovely, talented and hardworking wife Doris as First Lady. They are equally outstanding individuals. On the specific grounds of executive experience, capacity to attract and build industry and employment, and in the high calibre of people he has around him, Andrew P. Miller is a clear choice for Virginia. CHARLES ROBB The Virginia lieutenant governor, much .like the U. S. vice president, carries essentially ceremonial duties in the state senate, and backup responsibilities for the governor. Yet he is a heartbeat from becoming governor, and his election should be measured largely on the basis of potential for higher office. Three Democrats came fairly equally into this race, Delegates Richard S. (Major) Reynolds of Richmond, Ira Lechner of Arlington and Fairfax attorney Charles (Chuck) Robb. In a campaign year dominated by the governor’s race, none of them has become very well known although Lechner has been a tireless and strong advocate of a number of neglected^ human issue reforms in the state. However, close analysis of the three shows the 37-year-old Robb, a bright, hardworking former Marine officer, to be easily the candidate with the best capacity to move comfortably into the governor’s office should that become necessary. He also offers Virginia a new face with a promising and long political future. He has our strong endorsement. John Schell first came to public notice in 1974 when the Virginia Consumer Congress organized to fight a $99 million emergency rate hike request of the Virginia Electric and * Power Co. As its general counsel, Schell led the " Congress through a grueling examination of fact, successfully representing the long-overlooked Virginia consumer in a battle before y the State Corporation Commission, lit that fray, Schell demonstrated the kind of traits one should look for in an attorney general. He fought with fact, not hysteria. He was persistent and thorough and was able to translate regulatory bureaucratese into common English so that the consumer, for perhaps the first time ever, understood what was at issue. Straightforward and plainspoken, Schell is sensitive to people’s needs, and under his direction the state attorney general’s office should continue to strengthen its representation of the people. Because of his ability as a lawyer and as a leader, Schell should also continue the trend set by his predecessor Andrew P. Miller in attracting strong creative people to state service. In addition to his work for the consumer, Schell directed Project Astra, a study of law enforcement officers’ training and standards which is largely responsible for improved recruiting techniques for police forces throughout the Commonwealth. There is no doubt that his energy and creativity can maintain Virginia’s office of attorney general as one of the best in the nation.

The public is most cordially invited to attend the afternoon part of the program, beginning at 2 p.m. i. Our Rappahannock Heritage Concern For Elderly? Whether county funds are involved or not, the Rappahannock Supervisors apparently object to the Area Agency on Aging’s senior citizen nutrition program. Following a long executive session at the May Board meeting, Supervisor Chairman E. P. Luke was authorized to write to Chapter 10 officials in protest of the way the nutrition program began in the county. In a classic example of poor timing, the resolution was passed as the rest of. the nation celebrated “Older American’s Month”. he Area Agency on Aging for 'Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Nine was created without county support. At budget time two years ago, the Rappahannock Supervisors turned down a funding request for $414 to help establish the Agency. The Board members expressed concern that the office would grow to involve thousands of dollars in appropriations from local government and would develop into just another welfare .program. Despite the Supervisors objections, the agency got off to a start with other counties in Planning District Nine as participants. In February of this year, a nutrition site was opened at the Hampton Inn on a once-a-week basis. Every Thursday, between 30 and 40 older county residents gather there for lunch, fellowship and information on topics ranging from first aid to drawing up a will. The opportunity to socialize with peers seems to be at least as important as the meals to these senior citizens, many of whom are shut-ins. The nutrition program is the only special service provided in the county for older residents and it is funded entirely through sources other than local money. None of Planning District Nine’s member counties contribute directly to the nutrition program. . The program’s total budget , $150,000 for three five-day-a week sites in Fauquier, Culpeper and Gordonsville, a three-day-a-week site in the town of Orange and an expanded twoday-a-week site in Rappahannock. Of this amount, $139,000 is federal money while Chapter 10 contributes $1,697 for the Planning District jurisdictions. The remaining funds come from the state and from donations. At the Rappahannock site, a collection is taken up to cover the local share of funding. The cost of a meal is estimated at 35 cents but more affluent participants contribute a larger amount while those who have nothing, pay nothing. According to census figures, almost 900 Rappahannock residents are over 60 years old. This is almost a third of the county’s population. Surely, the Supervisors want to support the only program in Rappahannock designed to serve the elderly—particularly since it isn’t funded with county tax dollars. daphne McCullough Community Planning Needed To the Editor, Recently I had occasion near sunset to drive over back roads in our community to our home. Despite the disastrous drought, the hills and fields were green, and I thought that if any place today is Eden, it is surely Rappahannock County. How has it happened that Rappahannock has been spared the surfeit of strip developments, monotonous clumps of houses, lines of gasoline stations, billboards, and neon lights that desecrate other landscapes? Can so much beauty and worth survive? As is true here in Rappahannock, all over America the struggle for community planning goes on. But the results are proving equivocal everywhere. I have come to believe, after study and thought, that this is true because we haven’t yet broadly enough appreciatSd the need for a national policy to preserve farm land and the ^ integrity of communities, large and small. Nor are the intrinsic values which cities, towns and farm communities contribute to a wholesome society generally agreed npon. , Some thought open space important when New York City was growing. They managed to carve out Central Park from acres of valuable commercial property. If we had it to do all over again today, would there be Central Park as it survives? In another instance, some people felt we should have National Parks and one by one they were created. Would legislators today dare to set aside those vast national parks? The answer is uncertain. In Rappahannock, there are farmers struggling to make a go of farming land which they could profitably sell to developers. The lures and profits are real. In view of the world-wide need for increased food production, it - is generally believed that farm land will steadily increase in value as farm land. If our farms are otherwise' developed, they will be lost forever to farming. How can we weather the years of transition when the means to implement sound policies are so rudimentary? How can we' convince land owners and public representatives that to keep Rappahannock, a farming community is to preserve our wealth intact? Although our predecessors planned parks, they didn’t address our farm and . ■ k , , . v . b ' • community needs generally. Can we now agree upon policies which would work to enhance the best interests of all citizens in such a way as to persuade decision makers? Is it possible to show that hills covered with trees, lowlands planted in crops and pasture are essential for the survival of a free and functioning society? Can we devise means to satisfy the educational aspirations, transportation needs, employment opportunities and housing needs, to strengthen the life-enhancing qualities of our communities? Every international and national issue is manifest in a local situation, subject to local forces. Our state and national governments assume communities whose citizens seek representation of their interests* Law recognizes the unique quality of each piece of land. How can that unique quality be articulated through constructive state and national policies which husband our resources—land and people? What is wanting are institutional and legal supports for planning. How can a community best go about its business when there are no agreed upon basic assumptions to guide us? Last Spring in England I - ' ■■ . ‘ i i saw that there had been a decision to save the land and the integrity of communities. I don’t know anything specifically about that policy, but as 1 drove over the countryside for more than a thousand miles, I observed the results of such a policy. What can the U.S. learn from Great Britain and perhaps other allies? How can the continuing fact of change, and developing community needs, be guided by a vision of the future expressed through far-sighted and effective laws? We seem to be in only the beginning stages of thought and action in these areas. Perhaps our first step should be broad community discussion among citizens, drawing upon the experience and points of view of the diverse worlds inhabited by each of us. Taking note of the concerns of many sorts of people should facilitate development of a consensus for action to ensure that individually and collectively we shan’t be driven from our Eden. Suggestions on how these discussions can best be organized are needed. DIANA W. BIRD Horseshoe Hollow, ‘ Washington, Va. Letters To The Editor Sheriff’s Request Supported Editor: ' Last week’s NEWS told of | an incredible situation in our county government which i calls for a response from its i citizens. Our Sheriff has requested a reasonable increase in his staff, to enable him to do the job for which we elected him. But our supervisors have tentatively denied that request, and refused to support his work, i citing financial reasons for doing so. And the facts in this issue need to be pointed out to all the citizens of this county. - 1 First, we must remember ' the manner in which Mr. Buntin came to office. He campaigned on a promise to do the job to the very best of his ability and to the very 1 limits of his fine qualifications. And we, the citizens of this county, elected him on that basis by a landslide majority, a majority that gave him the strongest of mandates to carry out his promise. And that mandate also applies to the supervisors, who supposedly represent those same citizens, as a mandate to support the Sheriff in his job. The figures which Mr. Buntin presented to the supervisors as to the work load over the past year show that he is carrying out the responsibilities which he has been given. The 130 per cent increase in arrests alone shows that, and that figure is but one part of the increased workload of the Sheriffs Department. Yet, when the Sheriff asks for more help to carry this increased load, the supervisors refuse to carry out their responsibility. Second, we must examine the cost of the Sheriffs requests. The excuse given by the supervisors for not supporting the Sheriff is a financial one. But the request for additional secretarial time Gobbler Season Closes James N. Kerrick, Safety Officer for the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries, reminds all sportsmen that the Spring Gobbler season will close at 11 A.M. on Saturday, May 14, 1977. Kerrick also reminds the hunters that “Safety IS NO ACCIDENT,” and that extreme care must be exercised at all times while afield. Kerrick stated that during the Gobbler season, which will close Saturday, one person has been killed as a result of an accident, and two persons have been injured. The season began on April 16, 1977. vould cost the county a jaltry $700. Not exactly * ;ignificant amount in a nillion dollar budget. And he requested additional leputy would cost the county i little less than $2300. tgain, a small amount when me considers the size of our xrnnty budget. This is a total >f only $3000, or about 54 :ents for each county «sident. Yet, the supervisors stui ao lot want to live up to the nandate which they have jeen given. They say that here is no room in the ludget for even these small terns, and they holler “tax ncrease,” and everyone freezes. However, the ninimum tax increase of 10 :ents per hundred would ncrease the county’s income >y $14,000, more than :nough to fund the Sheriffs requests for not one year but jver four years. (This could actually be accomplished by carrying the excess over, and removing the 10 cents increase in the remaining yearsi) Moreover, this 10 cent addition to the tax rate would represent an increase of less than 2‘/a per cent. Certainly this could only represent great responsibility on the part of the supervisors when one considers both the increases in other areas of our lives, and the low level of taxation which we enjoy here. It is plain that the supervisors are crying “wolf’ when there is no wolf if they persist in claiming that we cannot afford to fond the Sheriffs requests. It has been said that we have a very inexpensive government in our county, as counties go, and that appears to be true. But government that is too cheap is simply not adequate. Third, we must face the very reasonable nature of the Sheriffs requests. By the Sheriffs own testimony to the supervisors, the Sheriffs Department is presently carrying almost its foil load without the additional help£ A fact that is underscored by the general lack of complaints which the supervisors spoke of. This does not mean that the additional help is not needed. Quite the contrary. It means that the Sheriff and his Department are doing their very best, above and beyond the call of duty, and are working many hours beyond what we are paying them for. This puts the citizens of this county in the position of being lousy employers, a position that most of us cannot relish nor long tolerate. And it makes me wonder how long it can be held up. How long before they become disheartened at the lack of support and are no longer able to maintain their present level of competence. no lonaer able to meet the increasing level of demands that we citizens place upon them? As individual citizens we do make heavy demands on our Sheriffs Department, and are quite impatient when those demands are not met immediately. Therefore, it is most necessary that collectively as citizens, through our supervisors, we must supply them with the staff and resources to meet those demands adequately. We must remember that the supervisors did the same thing to the Sheriff last year, denying his requests for the same financial reasons. If the job of the Sheriffs Department is to continue to be done properly, the needs of the Sheriffs Department cannot continue to be put off. ■ How long will we allow this incredible situation to go on? What will happen when we need help but can get no response because those on duty or available are already busy beyond all ability to respond? There is only one way for these questions to be answered satisfactorily, and that is for citizens to call upon their supervisors to right that incredible situation immediately! The Sheriffs requests ate reasonable and affordable, and we have already spoken our piece on it once, at the ballot box. But we must all make our voices heard again, and hope that the supervisors are listening. A Deeply Concerned Citizen «

Luke inquired. “I’m asking the question because there appears to be more money in some of these programs than you can effectively spend,” he added. Mrs. Buntin said she couldn’t give him an exact figure at that moment. She warned the Board members that cutting local funds would result in a corresponding decrease in both federal and state assistance money. She explained later that unspent federal and state funds are returned to their source while unspent county money reverts to the general fund. More Local Funds Mrs. Buntin noted that there were less state funds in the proposed assistance budget but more local funds. She attributed the $77,059 decrease in the total welfare budget to a change in funding procedure. Money for aid to dependent children no longer appears in the county budget because checks are written directly from the state offices in Richmond as part of a new computerized system, she said. ci_it_r»_i xt__x _i_ _ u*iv vv/iu inv inai anvdidn’t anticipate more welfare recipients for the coming year. Rather, she predicted that a work incentive program and mandatory registration for employment would remove people from the rolls. Both Luke and Supervisor H. B. Wood wanted to know what areas of control over the Welfare budget were retained by the county. Mrs. Buntin answered that the Supervisors could not cut funds from any individual state-mandated program, only from the total amount requested. (The only nonmandated program administered by the Rappahannock Welfare office is general relief and the appropriations request in that category is $1,435 lower than the current year’s). “We don’t want to do anything illegal,” Luke said. “If you had to make cuts in this budget, what would you recommend?” he asked Mrs. Buntin... . ,, “I don’t know,” she answered. “You asked me that last year. . .I’m the wrong person to ask because I’m so totally involved in my programs, I can't single one out. I’ve never provided you with a padded budget and I never intend to,” she stated. Asks Work Session Mrs. Buntin suggested a WASHINGTON FIRE DEPARTMENT’S .A ANNUAL O.

She maintained that Rappahannock citizens, in addition to the Supervisors, would benefit from a better understanding of the programs and funding procedures involved in public assistance. Luke doubted that a work session would help. He said he was “still in a fog”, even after Mrs. Buntin’s explanations. “Pass this (the welfare budget) out to the general public and 1 know exactly what they’ll do—They’ll throw it in the trash can.” After answering inquiries from the Board on her welfare requests, Mrs. Buntin had a question for the Supervisors on how they intended to deal with the problem of information covered under the privacy Act. (The welfare department administers a program that covers hospital bills for indigents not eligible for Medicare or Medicaid. Payment has to be approved by the Supervisors but the recipient’s name is to remain confidential, according to state welfare regulations.) "I’m not sure I can come up here in executive session and lay out cases for you if you’re not under the same confidentiality restraints as I am,” Mrs. Buntin told the Supervisors. Matters discussed in executive session are later put into the minutes of the Board meetings and then become public record, interjected clerk Ned Jones. Mrs. Buntin reported that she had written to the state offices in Richmond for guidance. She noted that the county Welfare Board kept two sets of minutes—one for open sessions and another for executive sessions. She suggested that the Supervisors may also want to consider this possibility when discussing confidential welfare cases covered under the Privacy Act.

Other Requests Other budget requests from the Health Department and library evoked little comment from the Supervisors at the May 5 meeting. County librarian Gladys Huffstedler presented a $12,918 budget, an increase of $1,491 over the current year. She told the Board that use of the library had doubled while costs of books, postage and utilities had also gone up. State requirements call for the library to stay open 40 hours per week “but so far, they’ve excluded us,” she added. Dr. R. S. LeGarde reported that the county’s share of public health program costs, $15,234, was the same level as last year’s expense. He said plans called for increased clinical activities in the county but added that efforts were “somewhat limited by the facilities.” According to LeGarde, the state will fund half of the construction costs of a new building, for the health clinic amortized over 20 years in rent payments and will pay 100 per cent of costs for equipment to furnish the building. In addition, he said the state would pay 30 cents per foot in maintenance fees. Luke asked if part of a new building could be used for purposes other than a health • department clinic. LeGarde replied that the office space could be shared. He said he had shown county engineer Fanning Baumgardner a building in Orange that would be adequate for clinic purposes. “It can be finished for $25,000,” he added.
