County orchardists heard predictions on just how much that loss will be at a meeting in Capt. George Sharp’s orchards last Wednesday. The meeting was part of a special weekly series of gettogethers organized by Extension Agent Rap Owings and held at various locations in Rappahannock and Madison during the critical *pple growing months of April and May. George Williams, VPI fruit specialist, reported that he’d received harvest estimates of between four and five million bushels at a recent State Horticulture Society meeting. “But I think that’s pessimistic,” said Williams, adding that he thought the figure would turn out to be a million or two bushels higher. .. A He maintained that Virginia orchards now have the potential of producing 12 to 13 million bushels of apples, although official harvest estimates for a good year are given as ten million bushels. Last year’s crop suffered considerably more freeze damage and resulted in a harvest of only four million, said Williams. “I hope we get moisture to size the fruit up that we have on the trees, he added. Extension agent Rap Owings estimated that the apple harvest in the Rap* pahannock would run between 30 and 70 per cent of the normal crop. He noted that crop predictions were difficult to make since estimates were based on a few representative trees in several orchards. "Some varieties will have a normal crop,” Owings said, while other trees in a different location won’t be worth the grower’s time to harvest. Peach Crop Halved Williams predicted that the state’s peach harvest would be only half of normal. He reported that states further to the south expected a crop 23 per cent over last year’s. According to Owings, peaches will be affected much more than apples by the current drought in Rappahannock and through out the south since peach trees have a shallow root system. Figures on peach harvest estimates will change week to week, depending on rainfall, said Owings. A good rain could alter conditions considerably, he added. Williams, Owings and two other VPl specialists, Ed Phillips and Bob Horsbough, fielded questions from a dozen or more apple growers while on a walking tour of Capt. Sharp’s orchards. During the walk, the experts pointed out various examples of difficulties that growers may encounter. This season’s dry weather conditions have added considerably to the list. Williams said he'd seen a lot of cold damage, particularly on specimens sent in by home gardeners who couldn’t diagnose the problem and were concerned about fungus disease or pest infestation. The past winter’s deep freeze was severe enough to possibly kill young trees, said Williams. Cold damage is not immediately evident and the resulting terminal leaf and root damage may be attributed to other causes, he said. Separation of bark layers caused by severe cold will be aggravated by current drought conditions, Williams added. Several trees in Capt.

Delegate Candidates Face Issues BY daphne McCullough Three political hopefuls vying for French Slaughter’s seat in the Virginia House of Delegates attended last Friday’s meeting of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection and answered questions on topics ranging from the future of farming to revamping the State Corporation Commission. Unlike the usual “tweedledee-tweedledum” options presented to voters, the three candidates—Democrat Butch Davies, Republican George Beard and Independent Bob Murphy—appear to offer choices. Preceeding the question and answer period, each candidate made a personal state and emphasis in the individual presentations varied sharply. Beard limited his remarks to environmental RLEP, Davies addressed specific issues that pertained to the county and Murphy railed against state government interference into local matters. Beard began with a history of the agriculture districts bill passed during the last session of the legislature. He characterized the bill as a response to suburban sprawl spilling out from urban areas into prime agricultural crop land. "Agriculture is still the mainstay of Virginia’s economy and urban sprawl caused concern at both local and state levels." said Beard. In an attempt to encourage ; agriculture without using the f police powers of the state, officials investigated agricultural districts in New York state and modeled the Virginia plan after efforts in use there. Under state enabling legislation, formation of agricultural districts and implementation of land use taxes are left up to local option, said Beard. Adoption of either is governed by local budget constraints and service demand, he added. Some Protection Protection of fish and wildlife and insurance against water and air pollution are already covered by state regulations and agencies, Beard continued. He noted that state officials are no longer interested in central sewage and instead flavor clustered septic systems as being more economical, easier to install and maintain with the problems of sludge disposal and less likely to create unplanned development. Conservation becomes more important as energy rates increase, said Beard. He cited a letter written by Governor Mills Godwin to federal Energy Commissioner James Schlesinger advocating the removal of price controls on natural gas. “That’s something I fairly well believe in,” said Beard. He maintained that allowing supply and demand to set the price of fuel was preferable to putting on government controls and would effectively encourage energy conservation. Beard also favored expansion of coal use, calling it “a good idea in Virginia. I think we need to do both exploration and conservation,” he added. In conclusion, he stated that he was for land use planning.

Town water levels are down and residents are asked to refrain from washing cars or watering lawns and gardens until further notice. the 25th district, began Butch Davies. Rappahannock has the lower per capita density in the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District and faces problems that are not common to the other counties, he said. The 25th district’s delegate to the General Assembly will have to recognize “the different needs for each county we represent,” Davies added. The Shenandoah National Park’s study on possible expansion will have enormous consequences in Rappahannock and Madison, particularly on the tax base, and will be of little consequence in Culpeper, said Davies. Park Service personnel should seek “citizen input” in addition to responsese from local Planning Commissions, he maintained. In Rappahannock County, 58 per cent of the land is owned by non-residents, said Davies. “That really sur(Continued on Page 4) Howell Addresses Farm Issues At stops in rural areas of central and western Virginia last week, gubernatorial candidate Henry Howell addressed issues of interest to the Rappahannock fanning community. As Governor, Howell said that a major thrust of his agricultural policies would be to increase credit available to farmers. He said that he favored investing more state funds in rural banks to provide more capital for farmers who wish to enter agriculture or expand their capacities. Meeting the credit needs of farmers, Howell said, should also be accomplished through the preservation and protection of small independent banks which are sensitive to the special needs of farmers. "If the state were to permit Vhuge urban banks to place branches throughout rural Virginia, it would threaten the stability of small, hometown banks who are much more sensitive to the needs and problems of Virginia’s farmers. When necessary, I will act as Governor to protect restrictions on branching by major urban banks who are not oriented toward rural needs and agricultural problems.” Howell said he thought facilities at VPI should be computerized for soil sampling and pesticide testing so that farmers could have informed recommendations and cost estimates within 48 hours. He also said he would favor encouraging more processing plants, especially beef, to locate in Virginia so that products could be processed nearer to farmers who produce them. Country Road* Howell said he will fight for an adjustment in the allocation formula for state highway funds to provide more adequate funding for secondary farm to market roads. He pledged that he will “see to it” that a farmer is appointed Commissioner of Agriculture and promised that farmers will be fully represented on the Board of Agriculture and Commerce, as well as other state boards and agencies with agricultural influence. Howell noted that gross income from Virginia farms has exceeded one billion dollars for the past three years and that cash receipts from farm marketings have increased nearly 80 per cent during the same time period. “It is time to give family farmers in Virginia a fair shake and a full say in matters which affect their lives,” Howell declared. Subdivision Action Postponed BY daphne McCullough After spending an hour on whether Charles Good’s proposed Mountain Slopes subdivision met county ordinance requirements, the Rappahannock Planners were told by Commonwealth Attorney George Davis that “the question is not if the subdivision plans will ultimately comply with the ordinance but whether you see fit to recommend to the Supervisors that the land be rezoned from agricultural to residential.” Davis arrived at last Wednesday’s Commission meeting in time to set procedural matters straight for the Planners. “You’ve got the cart before the horse in either approving or rejecting a subdivision that, at the present time, is illegal for that district,” he maintained. The Planners agreed and took no action on the application except to advertise a public hearing on rezoning the property. Before Davis’s arrival, the Planner’s consideration of the subdivision in light of requirements in the subdivision ordinance sparked a heated exchange with developer representative Jim Harris. The Planners themselves appeared to disagree on the intent of ordinance slop requirements. Planner Walter Masterson reported that Bill Adams, Soil Conservationist for the county, had inspected the Flint Hill site and was concerned about problems that may arise when dwelling construction begins. “Drainage or planning problems?” asked Planner Pete Luke. “Both,’’ answered Masterson. “I suspect a major problem is the proposed dike on the Jordan River.” He added that other Commission members had not had time to review the recently received report from the Soil Conservationist on the project’s erosion and sedimentation control plan. According to Masterson, the erosion control plan as submitted meets the ordinance requirements but additional steps may have to be taken by the developer to protect the environment once house construction actually begins. “We thought we’d meet one step at a time,” Harris responded. He said plans called for first building the subdivision’s road and then getting grass to grow on disturbed areas. Only periodic building will be done on the lots, “staggered over a five year period, maybe longer,” said Harris. He maintained that straw bales, plus the natural vegetation and foliage, would be sufficient to control erosion from the building sites and prevent sediment from entering the downhill Jordon River. (Continued on Page 2) ’ Planners To Adopt Check List Confusion at last Wednesday’s meeting of the Rappahannock Planning Commission over action on proposed subdivisions spurred the Planners to push efforts towards establishing procedural regulations. “There’s no point in blaming any particular person — either the Administrator or the Planning Commission,” said Commonwealth Attorney George Davis. “We need to establish a procedural form, drawn up by the Planning Commission.” Misunderstandings by developer Charles Good highlighted the need for set procedures. Good and his Historical Society Meets The Rappahannock Historical Society will hold its annual meeting Monday, June o at 8 p.m. in the courthouse at Washington. At this time officers for the coming year will be elected. All interested persons are urged to attend. attorney appeared unaware that a rezoning was required before action on his proposed Mountain Slopes subdivision could proceed. After the Commonwealth’s Attorney pointed out the rezoning requirement in the county subdivision ordinance, the Planners voted to hold a public hearing on the proposal. Planner Pete Luke suggested that a procedural list for developers to follow be sent to the Board of Supervisors for endorsement. “Then we’ll send it on to our employee,” said Luke, in apparent reference to County Zoning Administrator Evan McNear. “Your employee is the first person who should have to check off the list,” commented Commission Chairman Herbert Barksdale. Davis advised the Planners to establish regulations requiring a certified surveyor to lay off the outer boundaries of a proposed subdivision. “Then if the developer wants to take a pencil and do some turkey scratches on where the lots will be, that’s all we would need” for preliminary work. Luke asked Davis if the Planning Commission was liable for information in the zoning maps that show topography and deliniation of agricultural and conservation districts. Developer Responsible A developer buys land as a speculative investment and it’s up to him to know what he’s buying, said Davis. “It’s up to him to make a determination if his proposals comply with the simple terms of the subdivision ordinance,” he added. Davis suggested that copies of county ordinances be made available to developers. “Sell him the ordinances. If If he can’t understand them, let him employ a lawyer who can.” (Continued on Page 2) Crop Reports Required In anticipation of future legislation, the Secretary of Agriculture is requiring farm operators or their designees to report all acreages planted to a program crop. Program crops in Rappahannock County are wheat, com, grain sorghum, and barley. All spring seeded corps should be reported as soon as possible after planting. Fall seeded crops should be reported before harvest begins on the farm. If the 1976 fall seeded crop has already been harvested, the farm operator should still report the acreage planted. If in the event of a crop set-aside program on 1978 crops, the acreage set-aside may be based on a percentage of the acreage planted for harvest in 1977. Failure to report planted acreage of all 1977 program crops may render a producer ineligible for program benefits during 1978. Producers should make their crop acreage reports at the Rappahannock County ASCS Office. For further information contact the Rappahannock County ASCS Office at 675-3616.

Check List (Continued from Page 1) County maps that show ' soil and slope are the basis for zoning districts, said Planner Newbill Miller. "As far as agricultural and conservation areas are concerned, our maps are totally correct,” Miller maintained. County Engineer Fanning Baumgardner noted that an on-site check can override information contained in the . maps. Chairman Barksdale reported that Baumgardner was working closely with the Commonwealth Attorney, developing a list to follow in subdivision approval. When completed, the list will be forwarded to the Supervisors for endorsement, said Barksdale. "Then I want it used.” he added. When a developer goes to see the Zoning Administrator and talks to him, information should be put down on paper so that the Planning Commission will know what has transpired, Barksdale concluded. Subdivision requests need to be put in writing, agreed Davis, with one copy for the Zoning Administrator, one for the Planners and one for the 'applicant. “If you do that, everyone is aware of what’s going on and has the the opportunity to see if procedures are being properly followed. Davis advised the Planners to adopt a regulation stating that no application will be considered if required forms are not filled out and dated. “We’ve shown applicants too much consideration in the past,’’ he said. “We ought to stop washing linen here and just draw the form up,” said Miller and the topic was dropped.

The special series has been going on during April and May and was organized by Rappahannock Extension Agent Rap Owings as an information medium on problems faced in fruit growing operations. Subdivision Action Postponed (Continued from Page 1) The county’s erosion and sedimentation control ordinance does not apply to agricultural operations, noted Pete Luke. “From walking the site, it seems to me that there’d be more sediment from plowing than what would result from putting in a basement and drainfield...If agricultural operations are going to cause as much or more damage than the developer’s plan, then we have to take that into consideration.” Luke maintained that the controls required by the Planning Commission would be an improvement over the existing state of the site. “We have to be careful on the conditions placed on the developer to prevent damage when there’s damage already there,” he concluded. “Suppose he (the' developer) built on all 14 lots and nothing was planted,” countered Masterson, adding report. Luke answered that a homeowner with a large financial investment in his house and lot was not going to live surrounded by bare earth. “What they’re planning to do is an improvement over what we have now,” he claimed. “I don’t think we can do much about the past. We’re thinking about the future,” commented Commission chairman Herbert Barksdale. Steep Slope Problem “There’s one thing that bothers me—the amount of land in each lot with slopes greater than 14 per cent,” interjected Planner Newbill Miller. He said the developer had indicated in past conversations that only three acres out of the 70-acre parcel contained slopes greater than 14 per cent. “We went out to inspect and it’s quite a bit steeper than the developer realized,” said Miller. According to measurements taken by county engineer Fanning Baumgardner, the parcel contains nine acres in conservation type slopes “rather than the three acres I was led to believe,” Miller said. There’s a great deal of agricultural land with over 14 per cent slope being farmed and grazed in the county, noted Luke. “Then it’s being taken care of properly,” Barksdale responded. County ordinances require five-acre lot size for agriculture land, said Miller. “If the slopes are greater than 14 per cent it’s conservation, no matter where it exists. If slopes are less than 14 per cent, it’s agriculture, no matter where it exists,” he stated. “When Good first went into the zoning office with his application, was he told that 14 per cent slopes required 25 to 50-acre lots and under 14 per cent, only five% acres?,” asked Luke/ Harris interrupted with a contention that inquiries by the Planners on slope had been directed towards specific lots only, and not to the entire parcel. “No sir. Miller shot back. “What was the developer told by the Zoning Administrator?” Barksdale inquired. "I don’t know. I wasn’t there,” answered Luke. “He’s your man. He told me he wasn’t working for me,” countered Barksdale. Luke said the developer had apparently been told one thing by the Zoning Administrator and had gone to some expense to comply. “Now we’re telling him something different.” “It’s the Zoning Administrator’s responsibility to inform people. What went wrong, we don’t know,” Barksdale said. “We were told it was agricultural land and we’d need five acres for a lot. . .This is what we have complied with,” Harris reported. Interpretations Planner Dave Fannon said he interpreted the ordinance as requiring five-acres lots with less than 14 per cent slope in an agricultural district. "That’s the way the ordinance was drawn up,” Barksdale agreed. “We interpret the ordinance to say that the house and drainfield site must be less than 14 per cent so it won’t endanger the. en;^onm^afe Ha^ ^ “I don’t think that was the intent of the ordinance,” Fannon maintained. “Seventy-some acres and 14 lots are not going to create an ecology tilt,” claimed -Harris. Luke noted that the ordinance allows a single family dwelling and accessory buildings in a conservation zone. “With 25 acre lot size,” added Masterson. “A building site on 25acres with steep slopes over 14 per cent impacts the environment,” Luke argued.

Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis, coming into the meeting in the middle of the conversation, asked for the question involved in the argument. “Do we stand by the ordinance or change horses in the middle of the stream. That’s what Pete’s advocating,” answered Barksdale. Luke explained that his question was on the intent of the ordinance in regard to the slope requirement. Rezone First “The only way subdivision development can be permitted in an agricultural district is for the land to be rezoned from agriculture to residential subdivision,” stated Davis. “Planning Commission recommendation either for or against the subdivision at this point is absolutely premature. .The $§an n }^1t5ffi|^psf6n>^^ole purpose at this point in (time is to recommend oH not recommend rezoning.” (Continued on Page 11) OUR NEW CAR LOAN WON'T DEFtATE YOUR BUDGET.

One grower asked why the fungus occured in dry land. None Immune “I wish we knew,” answered Williams. He told the orchardists that no varieties of root stock were immune but some were more susceptible to the fungus than others. Incidence of infection increases if growth df young trees is pushed by heavy additions of nitrogen to the soil, he warned. It is possible to save trees that are struck by the fungus but Williams advised cutting down and replanting if the collar rot is far advanced. He said that the only way to accurately diagnose the condition is through laboratory analysis. “It looks alot like winter damage,” he added. The increasing number of chemicals on restricted lists came up several times during the meeting. Williams predicted that orchardists were going to see more and more chemical reviews done by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Williams and others stressed the importance of membership and participation by growers in the Apple Commission, Hor_ ticuiture Society and Marketing Division of the Farm Bureau. These three organizations are the only groups that represent fruit grower interests, he emphasized. Spokesmen for the organizations carry more weight at EPA hearings on pesticides and other chemicals if they can say they represent 1,500 orchardfets rather than just 500, said Williams. ,V Chemical Bans? ' Madison Cdtinty Extension Agent Jim Grove reported' that new restricted chemicals will be announced in October. “It looks like some in common use will be affected,” he told the group.

JJ Costly ‘State Mandates’ Since January and before, Virginians, including residents of Rappahannock, have been exposed to a major element in the political process—an election campaign. Candidates for the top state offices have been roaming the state seeking votes. Meanwhile, as the long days of the campaign unwind without apparent end, the candidates have been talking to people. And people have been talking to the candidates. Denying either fatigue or boredom, the candidates say they enjoy it. Governor candidate Andrew Miller in an interview with newspaper reporters a couple weeks ago underscored his further conviction that the process is useful, saying, “The personal contact is important...It means (if you’re elected) when you go into office you have a vast reservoir of information which really you can’t attain any other way.” The people learn, too, that often the candidates’ answers aren’t widely different. Both Miller and his Democratic contender Henry Howell, for instance, want the state highway commission to be more responsive to the people. With varying degrees of vehemence, one without reference to the other, they have said in separate interviews that the commission needs to be enlarged and so, it’s hoped, become more representative. And both have said, for instance, that it’s ridiculous to have a highway office in Culpeper administering road construction and problems in the metropolitan area next to Washington. And in another candidate-press exchange, Miller responded to a question about what can be done about localities wiio are having trouble raising school funds td pay for staterequired programs by saying “It’s something the state government must get a handle on.” Noting that the state "doesn’t even have a list" of the costly instructional programs it requires of the localities, he said the "localities are being turned into revenue agents for the state." Rappahannock is facing that very problem again during this budgetadopting season. The average pupil cost has risen from about $500 to more than $1,000, and it’s not an increase that can be blamed wholly on inflation. The state requires special education classes for "each handicapped child in the least restrictive environment.” Classes of 8 or 10 "exceptional children” taught by specially trained teachers compare with classes of 25 to 30 pupils taking traditional “unexceptional" courses. Local schools must pay for "health therapy" for handicapped children. System-wide public school kindergartens are required now. And the state also now requires that vocational training be made available to each child so that he will have "marketable skills’’ when he is graduated. How are these worthwhile programs to be paid, and by whom? The General Assembly in its wisdom didn’t say. It would be unthinkable for our own Board of Supervisors to approve such a program without providing the means to pay for it. But Miller says our state legislators do just that. And he termed it “a basic weakness in our legislative process.” "It should be required,’’ said Candidate Miller, “that every member of the Assembly’’ who adopts a program because it’s “a good idea" first learn how much a program is going to cost the homefolks, and how the money will be raised. Before he votes on it. Amen.

KATHERINE JOAN ST. CLAIR Chairman, Rappahannock County Howell for Governor Contract Awarded The Virginia Highway Department has approved a bid on 2.S miles of con* stroction on Route 211 east of Amissville which will parallel the present highway making the dual lane arterial road. Henderson Construction Company of Fredericksburg was awarded the job on a bid of $1,021,332 for construction from the end of the present dual lane in Culpeper County to the east limits of Amissville in Rappahannock County. The work consists of grading, draining and paving the 24-foot-wide roadway. ' * ' *<?•••• *' •. ** -* 'i Dear Editor, Please tell our friend Charlie Smith the latest ridiculous news. Not only have our learned supervisors not acted to censure our friend of many names, they have. voted to give her an increase in salary while refusing to authorize a full time secretary for the Sheriffs Department. When you have a problem and need to get in touch with the sheriff you may have a long wait, not because the sheriff is not willing .to act —he can only stretch so far. The news that preventive measures in policing are supposed to be in effect has not reached our courthouse. We are operating under thirty year old directives—and even those straddle the fence, allowing almost any interpretation. No official any longer has the courage of his convictions; no one says this is it—added on are these and those and them and that and therefore... Sign me: Uh, well now, let me see The Little Fox Our Rappahannock Heritage Delegate Candidates Face Issues (Continued from Page 1) prised me,” he commented, noting that non-resident ownership had increased from 53 per cent in 1973. These figures raise serious questions as to just what kind of an agricultural community exists in the county, said Davies. “What is the future of farming in Rappahannock County? What should the citizens be doing to stop the deterioration of farm land in Rappahannock?” he asked. Residents must recognize that "people coming into the community are removing land from cultivation,” he stated. According to Davies, there are many young people in Rappahannock who’d like to farm but can’t afford to buy land, which currently sells at between $1,000 and $1,200 an acre with smaller tracts bringing $2,000 an acre. “They can’t afford to buy but they can afford to lease,” he said. Davies suggested that an inventory of parcels not unger production and available for lease be made as a local conservation effort. in toe rtui “I may as well jump into the frying pan,” commented Davies. He described the three-member SCC as "honest and dedicated men in a difficult position. . .It (the Commission) is the hot seat in the state right now as power costs increase.” SCC members face difficulties balancing dual roles as public advocates and industry protectors, said Davies. He suggested the possibility of dividing the Commission into two units—one to deal with insurance and banking piatters and the other to deal with utilities. Currently, the SCC is overworked and lacks an adequate staff, Davies claimed. “I don’t think that adding extra members will make things any better.” He proposed that responsibilities be divided if two more members are added. In that way, the SCC can develop "specilization needed to deal with specific issues.” Beard said that he thought a three-member Commission was plenty. He relayed advice given to him by his Presbyterian minister on the proper number of members for a committee. “He said you never need more than three and one ought to be sick and the other one dying.” Addressing , Mrs. Harris’ inquiry on home butchering operations, Beard said he understood this area was covered by federal, not state, regulations and guessed that meat packing industry giants, like Smith and Armour, were behind the legislation. Someone in the audience asked how the fuel adjustment clause was passed. The clause is there to prevent erratic price increases, Davies answered, but asked where the incentive was for utilities to find cheaper fossil fuels if increased costs can be automatically passed on to the consumer. Mrs. Harris asked if the legislature was making an effort to investigate possibilities of composing sludge as an alternative to constructing sewage treatment plants. Discussion was interrupted by efforts to open windowsjh the vcbhrttdo'm. Air cot- * ditioning had been turned off earlier so the audience could hear the delegate candidates. Since the windows weri stuck, room temperature had climbed sharply and someone suggested turning the air conditioning on again. “This is really typical, sitting and talkiag about conservation and running the air conditioning,” commented Mrs. Harris. Apparently spurred by her remarks, Roger Batchelder finally managed to get one window opened and the air condition units stayed off. Waste Dbposal Waste disposal is an increasingly important issue, stated Butch Davies. Where to put landfills and how to pay for them stir controversy, he said. “We need alternatives.” But, he added, costs of currently feasible alternatives are so enormous that rural counties will have difficulties affording them unless they cooperate with urban areas. “At some place down the road, I think technology will catch up,” predicted Davis, and make it possible for counties like Rappahannock to afford something other than a landfill. He added that research in this area wasn’t economical in the past. “Now it is.” Young people today have grown up in a consumer, rather than conservation, oriented society, said Diana Bird. She asked if the candidates were in favor of a major attack on environmental problems through the public school system. Murphy answered that environmental education was part of the Litter Bill passed during the last session of the General Assembly and will become effective July 1. One woman in the audience maintained high labor costs had made plastic throw-aways cheaper than recycled containers that needed cleaning to reuse. It depends on the area and the type of labor used, countered Davis. He noted that welfare budgets in most of the Planning District’s five counties had doubled during the last three years. The majority of welfare recipients are unskilled labor “that could be put to work on the issue you raised,” he said. He added that if throwing away products made from petroleum-based plastics may not be economical for very much longer. HowTo San Fanning Col. Nets Parson asked the candidates if they' had any opinions on what could be done to save farmers from having to subdivide their land. Murphy responded that freedom of choice interred into the issue. “Farmers ought to have the right to sell their land.” “But what can we do to make them want to keep it?” asked Parson. “1 don’t think you can bribe a man to farm for very long,” countered Murphy. Parson argued that Murphy was missing the point. “In the Midwest, a farmer gets three cents for a loaf of bread. The price of bread keeps going up but what the farmer gets keeps going down. What can be done to help the fanner in Rappahannock?,’’ Parson asked. “Is an agricultural district going, to help? What else can be don? Can the farmer be allowed to sell his products directly to his community?” “This is a problem to be dealt with locally,” answered Davies. As an example, he said he didn’t think the General Assembly had any business requiring a locality to adopt land use taxation. Land use has been adopted in Culpeper County, Davies continued. But Culpeper had alternatives on where the tax burden should be shifted—to industry or subdivisions, he noted. That’s not true in rural counties, he .said. Davies added that he favored a state revision of inheritance taxes similar to what was adopted recently at the national level. “The state ought to look at how h can protect the family farm,” he maintained. Hobby Farmen \ “How many real farmers i are there in the county?” i asked Peggy Clark. “We have i play farmers in Rap- < pahannock County.” She maintained that quali- i fications for judging i farmers for inclusion into tax benefit programs need to be established. Who’s going to decide j what is taught in schools about environmental controls, asked a member of the 1 audience. Opposition to offshore oil drilling had all driven to the meeting in cars that required oil. Does this mean that it’s all right to pollute the environment in Lousianna but not in < Virginia? he asked. 1 Fanning Baumgardner 1 relayed a story that he’d read 1 about an old trapper’s ' response to * a "drive 1 reformers ft? rb'&fl ltr&ppft^.'‘ “Reformers sit down,. find 1 what won’t hurt their lifestyle > and then they start reforming < like the devil.” i The only answer to the problems raised by off-shore oil drilling is an alternative energy program, Murphy responded. “Solar power is our answer. . .Dependency on nuclear power and oil is a foolish thing.” If solar power is explored “then hopefully we won’t have to drill for oil off the coast of Virginia,” he said. Sharon Kilpatrick questioned how clustered sewer systems would benefit Rappahannock County.' "People here live on large lots. There’s no one nearby to cluster with.” She asked what were the possibilities of the legislature changing regulations to permit at least experimentation with compost toilets. “They do exist. They do work. They’re used all over Scandanavia. Why are they illegal in Virginia?” None of the candidates appeared to be familiar with the concept of compost toilets but all agreed that the system’s feasibility deserved investigation. Mrs. Harris made the meeting’s last comment. “We do have play farmers, hobby farmers in Rappahannock,” she said. But this is because it takes alot of money to farm and the money has to be made somewhere else before an individual can indulge his true love of farming, she concluded. Large Landowners A Benefit “You’re fortunate in Rappahannock to have large landowners who are able to keep out road frontage development,” Davies told he audience. Large landiwners help to preserve the sounty’s scenic beauty and >pen spaces, he said. The lrive from Woodville to iperryville is a pleasure, :ontinued Davies, giving :redit for it’s visual beauty to he area’s two major landjwners, I. W. Fletcher and iVilliam Lane. By keeping jroperty in agricultural use tnd open space rather than ;ubdivision development, arge land owners help to naintain a stable population jase, he added. Moving on to more itatewide issues, Davies idvocated a change from lisposable to returnable jottles. "We’ve got to have hat kind of legislation.’’ He :alled disposable bottles a * vaste of resources and lirmful to the environment. .' to suggested imposing a tax*; >n cans for those companieshat do not make the switch rom disposable to retumtble. Tackling utility problems, Davies praised Northern Piedmont Electrical Cooperative officials for lolding meetings with the :ompany’s clients. The Co-op ‘cared enough to go out and Tear what the people are saying,” he said. “That’s not :rue of all Co-ops and it’s :ertainly not true of Vepco.” Arrogant Utilities Utilities must balance the need for energy with conservation of the environment, Davies maintained. Where was the input to Vepco on conservation? he asked. Vepco spokesmen say they must have concern for their stockholders. “It’s arrogance on their part when they totally ignore the people they deal with,” said Davis. “When Vepco shelved plans for the Surry plant, they had the nerve to charge consumers for the planning costs that went into the aborted effort,” Davies continued. “We have to make public utilities accountable to the people they serve,” he maintained. The state legislature is unresponsive to the needs of the people when it’s members don’t address public utility issues and environmental problems raised by off-shore oil refineries, said Davies. “You let your voices be heard in Rappahannock County,” he told RLEP members, “but your community is larger than just Rappahannock and Little Washington.” Independent Candidate Bob Murphy prefaced his remarks by warning the audience that “what I say here may be surprising but I have to tell it the way I fed.” He criticized the multitude of a\ laws that govern practically y every move a citizen makes. "Some laws are required but many should never have seen the light of day,” he stated. ‘‘The law requiring local planning commissions is an example.” , > i (Continued on Page 5) ir>; • ++++ -.'V North Sea oil reserves may prove to be 23 billion bands, ninth largest in the world, National Geographic says.

Issues wvu tivm * a^C ■?/ MIn the past," continued Davis, “the Planners had tried y to take the easy course and both approve and rezone at the same time. The. rezoning has to come first,” he explained. “Once the land is rezoned, then the function of the Planning Commission is purely and simply an administrative procedure—to see that the developer's proposals comply with the subdivision ordinance. If they comply, then there is no alternative but to approve the subdivision.” Both the Planners and the Supervisors may consider the health, safety and welfare of the county in rezoning action, said Davis. He presented details of a case he had argued before the State Supreme Court as the attorney for the Orange County Supervisors in action brought against them by a developer who had been turned down. In that case, the Court upheld the Supervisors in denying the issuance of a conditional use permit that would have taken land from agricultural to residential use. Agriculture More Important? “It’s the exclusive right of the Supervisors to determine if it is more important to have subdivision land or agricultural land in the county,” maintained Davis. If the Supervisors determine that it is more important for the health, safety and general welfare of residents to maintain the agricultural character of the county, then they have the legal right to do so, said Davis. An attorney from Manassas representing Good stated that his client was not applying for rezoning. He argued that single family residences were a permitted use in both agricultural and conservation zones and therefore no rezoning was necessary. The only requirements to be met were those listed in the subdivision ordinance and Uooa had abided by those, the attorney maintained. As to restrictions on slopes greater than 14 per cent, the attorney interpreted the ordinance to mean that only house and drainfield sites were not permitted on the slopes. “There’s no question that the land has to be rezoned from agriculture to residential,” countered Davis. “I will not argue that point.” Planner Newbill Miller read the section from the ordinance in which the requirement for a rezoning is stated.

Science Texts Adopted New science texts that will be used for the coming six years were adopted by the Rappahannock School Board at last week’s Board meeting. Approval of the new books went smoothly, with the Board accepting the series recommended by the classroom teachers in each field. Assistant High School principal John Toth noted that Modern Biology, recommended for the standard biology textbook, was not on the state approved list, but added he’d been told by State Department of Education personnel that it should have been. He stated that the omission was inadvertent. Toth also reported that a number of other localities already use the text, including neighboring Oarke County. Toth said he surveyed 40 Rappahannock biology students and found Modern Biology generally given as either first or second choice out of the texts considered. “Does it contain anything that would be offensive to some parents?” asked Board member Arthlinda Quaintance. “No Ma’am,” Toth answered. “It treats reproduction, not sex.” He added that the topic was dealt with “more tactfully” in the proposed text than in the text currently used. Wesley Chappel told the Board that his choice for an earth science text book was Modern Earth Science, published by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston, Inc., also publishers of Modern Biology. Chappel said he’d been given seven books for consideration and only found two suitable. He added that he felt his other choice for a text was beyond the ability of the average student. James Wood recommended that Focus On Physical Science, published by Charles E. Merrill, as the new eighth grade textbook. Finding a book that is interesting is a primary consideration in selection at this level, he said. “It’s important to get students turned on to science.” Wood noted his choice of textbook didn’t use too many of the scientific terms that frighten beginning students away from the subject. “Many children are turned off to science at the eighth grade level by text books that are too technical,” agreed Superintendent of Schools O. A. Norton. He complimented Wood on the job he was doing in motivating his students. Brian Patterson reported that he wasn’t that enthused about the text he was recommending for adoption in chemistry. “I’m not all in favor of the one I chose but I have no other choice.” He said that his students hadn’t been able to give him any help since they’d been unable to reach a consensus on which of the six books under consideration was best. Inquirires In Chemistry, published by Allyn and Bacon, Inc., was given as Patterson’s first choice. “It does a good job on basic concepts. Many books emphasize terms and short change concepts,” he told the Board. Patterson added that it also emphasized career possibilities related to the subject area under study. “What I don’t like about it is that it’s very short on pictures,” he continued, adding that his students had all commented on this lack. Also, the book doesn’t provide well organized material, which might present a problem to a first year chemistry teacher, Patterson said. Despite Patterson’s halfhearted endorsement, the Board unanimously approved his and all other recommended texts. In addition, the Board authorized Dr. William J. Blummer, who will become Superintendent of Schools upon Norton’s retirement, to select an updated text to use in basic business classes. $he ffinal tribute CLORE FUNERAL HOME The Home of Thoughtful Service” PHONE 825-2361 CULPEPER CEMETERY MEMORIALS Howell Campaigners Named uuwcii wr uuvcrnor Campaign Headquarters announces the Rappahannock County committee and workers.

Freedom Of Choice? Murphy maintained that ■ creation of Planning ^ ^Commissions denies freedom of choice by nullifying an “unwritten law that allows people to choose.. .where and how they will live.” As first written, the law stated any governing body may create a local planning commission, said Murphy. When the law was amended to read every governing body shall create a local planning commission by July 1, 1976, “freedom went out the window,” he maintained. “People are no longer free to do what they wish with their land.” All three gubernatorial candidates have gone on record a^ favoring the rights of localities to do their own planning, according to Murphy. However, “Now an appointed commission will decide what you will do with your land,” he added. He criticized enabling legislation that allows local jurisdictions the option of adopting land use assessment. “Farmers and large landowners benefit from land use,” said Murphy, adding that land use shifted the tax burden to small, individual homeowners. “If there are high taxes to be paid, then we must all pay them,” he stated. “It’s the best way to bring about.tax reform.” Murphy expressed opposition to both off-shore drilling and the use of , nuclear power to generate electrical energy. "We do not have the right to pollute air, water and land.. .to cause damage that is irrevetsable.” He noted that the estimated life of a nuclear power plant is 40 years before the parts get “too hot to handle” from absorption of radiation. “Then well have to spend $600,000 a year to guard those parts. That’s in extremely high price to pay for low cost electricity,” concluded Murphy. Sharon Kilpatrick asked Beard and Murphy for their stand on returnable bottle legislation. “I’m all for it,” answered Murphy. Beard said he, too, favored a switch from disposable bottles. “It takes five times as much energy to make throw aways,” he added. Cottage Industries Miriam Harris asked the candidates if they were aware of any pending legislation that would allow small farmers to carry on limited butchering operations or the sale of on-farm milk. Davies answered that legislation had been inHorse Center Stabling, Schooling, and conditioning facilities, by the month, or complete care & training. Come & look. Rt 647 at Old Kennels, 364-1841. troduced in * previous session that would permit small butcher shops but that it had failed because of health concerns and fear of contaminated meat. He agreed that a method was needed to sell urban legislators on the need to reinstate "cottage industries”, particular! y agricultural related operations, in rural areas. “The lady’s question served to reinforce my statements on freedom of choice," said Murphy. “The free malrket, so to speak, has been chopped off,” he maintained. Livestock markets still exist but they are state regulated and maintained, said Murphy. SCC Reorganisation RLEP president Phil Irwin asked the delegate candidates for their opinions on the State Corporation Commission. He described Vepco as a mismanaged and “very, very arrogant public utility” that had been consistenly supported by favorable SCC rulings. PRINTING SERVICES We can provide all kinds of commercial printing at competitive prices. Inquire at the Rappahannock News office in Washington 1675-3349) or at Warrenton Printing (347-4466). Murphy maintained that “people back home’* would have to start making noise before the trend of SCC rulings changed. Replacing the three-man Commission with five members would only mean that you’ll have five to contend with instead of three,” he said. Citizens already have the tools necessary to fight adverse SCC rulings—the Constitution of Virginia, said Murphy.
