Mason .Carbaugh of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Commerce. Day Care Program Opens What to do with the kids once school is out is a problem faced every summer by both working and nonworking parents. A new day cate program in Washington offers an alternative to jfjjyking the little ones in smont of the television set when the long, hot days begin tofirag.’“"“ ‘ *: - l; ~ Located in the basement of v' die Washington Post Office building, the program known \ asSorsum Cord a School,, is ran by Camille Harris, Susan Uann and Mary Kaye All three are elementary "school teachers with years of experience working with young children. The center will be “a dropin kind of thing,” where parents can leave their youngsters for an hour, an afternoon or all day, said Ms. Harris. The activity schedule will include arts and crafts, games, music, woodworking and outdoor play. Also planned are local field trips to the library and recreation center. "Our program is geared towards four through seven year olds,” said Ms. Harris. Sorsum Corda School uses the same building for classes from September until early June and Susan Lann emphasized that children in the day care program would be able to use the school’s equipment and materials. . The day care center will accept toddlers for two hours every morning during the three-day, Monday through Wednesday, operation beginning June 13. Toddlers will be supervised by both a full-time teacher and a parent volunteer. To date, Ms. Harris said she’s had no trouble finding volunteers. “A lot of parents want to stay and watch their children.” Children over toddler age can be brought in anytime between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. during the three days the center operates. There’s no upper age limit for the day care program but Ms. Harris said die didn’t expect to have many children oyer ten yens of age. Ms. Harris feels that the day care center will fill a need in the community. "1 think there’s a demand for this kind of service. A lot of kids must have to go to the babysitters for the entire ;*“* - summer ; and not . .have any other children iround to relate to.” , / v ■y: Polo Begins Hie Rappahannock Fblp Club’s opening game will be' held this Friday, June 3, at 8 at Fannon Field, Laurel The amendments to the Standards for Classification of Real Estate Devoted to Agricultural and Horticultural Use would require that the real estate have or normally have; an annual gross sales of one thousand dollars and over of agricultural or horticultural products. Further, when the real estate is used primarily for commercial production of livestock, livestock products, poultry or poultry products, the amendments would require a minimum of twelve animal unit months of commercial livestock or poultry per five acres of open land for the previous year. In 1971, the Virginia General Assembly enacted a law permitting totalities to adopt a program of special assessments for agricultural, horticultural, forest and open space lands. The law was amended in 1973 requiring the Commissioner of Agriculture and Commerce to prescribe uniform standards for bona fide agriculture and horticultural use. The land use assessment program is in effect in 34 Virginia localities; 27 counties and 7 cities. The proposed amendments, if approved by the Commissioner following the public hearing, would then be a part of the agricultural and horticultural standards in these localities as well as all other localities that subsequently adopt the program for these uses. All interested persons will be given an opportunity to be heard and to submit objections, amendments and arguments in accordance with the Administrative Process Act. Any interested party may submit data, views and argument to the Department in advance of the hearing. Copies of the proposals can be obtained in person or by writing the Commissioner, Virginia Department of Agriculture and Commerce, 203 North Governor Street, Room 403, Richmond, Virginia 23219. All data or argument to be submitted should be sent to the same address. WAKEFIELD COUNTRY Day School’s Latin classes Friday beside the school’s swimming pool.

EVERYBODY LOVES a parade—The H. D. Woodson marching band was a big hit in last Wednesday’s carnival parade at Washington. Majorettes, fire and rescue equipment, bands and floats added their festive bit to the traditional firemen’s parade held in conjunction with the annual fund raising carnival. Two Slain In Post-Party Shooting Frank Junior Carter, 26, of Washington has been charged with first degree murder in the shooting deaths early Sunday morning, May 29, of Anna Rose Gatewood, 25, of Washington and Randolph W. Starks, 27, of Woodville. According to Rappahannock Sheriff’s Department deputy Martin Orfila, Starks and Miss Gatewood were leaving a party at Haywood Turner’s residence just off the Washington by-pass at approximately 2:45 a.m. While sitting in their vehicle, apparently Starks and then Miss Gatewood were shot in the head with a single barrel 12-gauge shotgun. Both died instantly. According to police, there were no witnesses to the shooting but people at the party heard the blasts from the weapon. Deputy Orfila reported that the gun was taken from Carter and brought back in to the house while the accused and others at the scene awaited police arrival. Carter was a former boyfriend of Miss Gatewood, according to police information. Carter is being held without bond at the Fauquier County jail in Warrenton. A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for June 17 in the Rappahannock Court House. Welfare Programs Examined Rappahannock Welfare Board members decided at their meeting on May 20 to continue funding General Relief and Protective Services to the Aged and Infirm despite a change in state regulations making neither program mandatory. Public Assistance Director Elizabeth Buntin asked the Photo by WiD Wonhaooi held a Roman banquet on list completed a study of pared and served the food : are (1. to r.): John Piper, Joy Andrea sen, Lorraine Halimah Holliday, Willie i. Kneeling are Skip Glass Luray Avenue, Front Royal, Virginia. Attendance at both sessions is necessary to complete the entire battery of tests. The tests, administered and supervised by the Adult Education Service of the State Department of Education, are designed to measure the educational development of individuals who left school before graduation. The battery of five tests in English Composition, Social Studies, Natural Science, Literature and Mathematics are designed to measure the major skills that result from four-year high school curriculum. By achieving satisfactory scores on GED tests adults may earn a high school equivalency certificate; qualify for admission to college or advanced educational opportunities; meet educational requirements for employment or promotion; satisfy educational qualifications for induction in the United States Armed Forces. Board “not to yield to the temptation to say let’s not have a General Relief program at all. It’s very much needed...I think it would be a mistake to abandon it totally.” Board member Aline Johnson agreed. “If we didn’t have this in our plan, we wouldn’t be able to help people who are really trying but temporarily need help.” General Relief provides emergency assistance, generally on a one-time basis, to applicants who don’t qualify for aid under other programs. Once strict eligibility requirements are met, applicants may receive services that include food credits, medical assistance and rent and utility payments. Mrs. Buntin reported that Protective Services to the Aged and Infirm had also been transferred by the legislature from the mandatory to optional category. She added that she had received a memo from state Commissioner of Welfare William Lukhard urging localities not to abandon the program but to maintain it for an interim period. "I think he feels that the Legislature will make it mandatory next year,” she said. The program involves a total budget of $797 with $598 in federal money and the rest from state and local sources. Mrs. Buntin said she expected her department would handle 25 cases under this category during the coming year. Mrs. Johnson commented that the case load figure appeared high. “No, it isn’t,” Mrs. Buntin responded. She explained that the program involved other services, including finding nursing homes and petitioning courts . for commitment. “I think we should keep the program...It provides a necessary service,” said Mrs. Johnson. Understanding Welfare The Board discussed at some length the difficulties Sewer System Progresses Ihe KappahannockRapidan Planning District Commissioenrs gave routine approval for a discharge permit to Sperryville’s proposed sewer system at last Thursday’s meeting in Culpeper. The approval is required by the State Water Control Board to ensure that the plant complies with the District’s regional plan. Certificates may be issued to civilian and military personnel who meet the following requirements: An applicant must be at least 19 years of age. Under special circumstances which are considered justifiable by local school authorities, the age limit may be lowered. Applicants must have been a physical resident of Virginia thirty days prior to applying for testing. Persons interested in taking the test may apply at their local office of the Superintendent of Schools in the County in which he resides. Applications will be accepted through June 8, 1977. A fee of S7.50 is charged for the battery of five tests and $1.50 for each retest. Applicants who apply must present their Social Security Card. Residents of Frederick County call 703-667-3371; Winchester City call 6623471; Clarke County call 9552438; Shenandoah County 477-3161; Rappahannock County 987-8773 and Warren County 635-2171. “I judge this to be another step on the long paperwork road of getting a sewer system,” commented Chairman Pete Luke. “One thing I can say—this is a nogrowth sewer system,” he continued. He noted that the plant included enough capacity for people with dish washers and clothes washers to put in appliances “but that’s about the extent of it.” Luke added that growth predictions for Sperryville called for approximately 100 additional people within the next ten years. “That’s all the growth that’s anticipated,” he added. The new sewer system is expected to be completed by the fall of 1978, said Luke. “That’s with no hitches.” Later in the meeting, the commissioners gave unanimous approval to the Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority’s applications for step II grant funds from the Environmental Protection Agency. They also approved an addendum to the facilities plan for extending sewer lines to take in additional raw sewage discharge points. AUCTIONEER JOHN WALKER JENKINS of Washington with sale clerk Ellen Mustoe of Flint Hill stayed busy all day at the Poston estate sale. Never has there been so much of so many different articles to pass under the gavel of the auctioneer. Everything was sold from a piano tuning kit to sterilized cow manure. (More pictures Page 2.| that the public and local officials encounter in understanding welfare programs and budgets. Mrs. Buntin remarked that she should never have included the Title 20 form in the packet of budget material she forwarded to the Supervisors. “It’s too complicated and too beaurocratic for people to understand. I should just have included a list of programs and a summary with the amount of federal funds that has to be matched by state and local money.” Mrs. Johnson suggested that a special meeting be arranged with the Supervisors prior to next year's budget considerations so Mrs. Buntin can explain fully the public assistance requests. Mrs. Buntin said that she had thought the Supervisors would call her and arrange a meeting this year, since one had been held the previous year. “I think you have to set it up,” Mrs. Johnson responded. Mrs. Buntin commented that she had detected “certain opposition” from the Supervisors when she presented this year’s budget requess. “I think it’s because the public doesn’t understand our services.” People see the Welfare Department as a “beaurocratic mess” that accomplishes nothing, said Mrs. Buntin. This is a false picture, she maintained, citing important work, particularly in the fields of foster care and adoption. She acknowledged that the Wedfare Department did spread itself to thin by trying to do too much. (Continued on Page 4)

Citizen Participation The Rappahannock Planners have scheduled a public hearing on an application for rezoning 70 acres outside Flint Hill from agriculture to residential, the first step in subdivision approval process. The proposed fiveacre, 14 lot development has stirred up county residents concerned with the loss of agricultural land to subdivision uses. An advertisement printed in this week’s News appeals to “all concerned citizens” to show up for the hearing and attempt to “stop subdivisions” and “stop the destruction of farmland.” It will be a welcome change if people do turn out to participate in decisions made by the county’s governing bodies. Perhaps, if enough voices are raised, the steady loss of farmland can be slowed or even stopped. There’s definite cause for worry over the future of agriculture in Rappahannock. Half of the county’s land is now employed in “non-farm uses” and total acreage of cropland is decreasing here at a faster rate than in adjoining jurisdictions. An examination of * county records made last March found 1,078 lots and 49 subdivisions already platted, further evidence of the deterioration of the county’s rural character. But clocking C. L. Goode’s proposed development doesn’t appear to be the best—and safest—starting point in efforts to reverse current trends. Mountain Slopes Subdivision involves approximately 70 acres of marginal agricultural land—land that has not been actively farmed for years. In addition, the tract is located on the outskirts of Flint Hill, close to a village rather than smack in the middle of acreage used for grazing or crops. Interested citizens and members of the Rappahannock 'League for Environmental Protection have monitored Planning meetings since the Flint Hill subdivision first came before the Commission in February. They have voiced primary concern over the loss of farmland that the development will entail. Where was this same concern last June when the Rappahannock Supervisors unanimously approved rezonings—with little or no public comment—for Wade Massie and Oscar Lindgren in action that removed over 200 acres from agricultural use? Both Lindgren’s and Massie’s subdivisions were 25-acre lot developments requiring fewer county services but the land involved was as effectively taken from farming use by 25-acre lots as by five-acre lots. With this background, how can Goode’s rezoning request be denied on the basis of preserving agricultural land without the Supervisors incurring charges of acting in an arbitrary and capricious manner? Disappearance of farm land and the accompanying changes it brings to the character of life in Rappahannock has to be stopped. But it has to be done carefully and correctly, in a way that leaves no room for a court ordered reversal. Preservation of agricultural land is a legitimate concern but appears to be shaky legal grounds for denying a rezoning when the concern does not apply equally in all cases. Examined (Continued from Page 1) “I go along with adoption services but I can’t with a whole lot of other programs,” commented Board member Dick Latham. Nutrition, Mental Health Rappahannock is in desperate need of a mental health program and people won’t realize until their own family has a mental health problem, interjected Mrs. Johnson. Mrs. Buntin volunteered that she had really done the nutrition program for the elderly a disservice by including an appropriation for meals for the indigent in the Rappahannock public assistance budget She attributed the supervisors recent protest against the manner in which the program began in the county to this appropriation item. The nutrition program can get by with funding as it is now—“if they have to,” she added. “It’s a good program. Don’t let anyone tell you it isn’t,’’ Mrs. Buntin continued. “And we have a need for this type of program in Rappahannock.” It s nice tor the oia people to get together and have a meal,” agreed Latham, who is also a member of the County Board of Supervisors. “But I’d like to leave government out of those kinds of things.” He suggested that private church groups or other civic organizations should run programs like the elderly nutrition service. “If Rappahannock doesn’t use those funds, some other ,county will,” said Mrs. Johnson, in reference to funding sources for the nutrition program. (There is no direct contribution from Rappahannock involved. Instead, the. money for the Area Agency on Aging’s nutrition service comes primarily from federal sources with a small portion of the budget comprised of state and Chapter 10 appropriations and private donations.) ... f. Welfare worker Becky Burke noted that the need for special services foe the elderly existed before the nutrition program began and no private organization stepped in to fill the void. Money from county citizens is involved whether the Supervisors make a direct appropriation or not, maintained Latham. County government didn’t have a choice on the program—it was brought in anyway, he said. The nutrition service was “made pretty unpopular” when it came in against the wishes of some people, Latham maintained. “I’m opposed to the government doing everything for you. If we keep accepting government services, we will have to pay for them, taxwise,” he warned. Misunderstanding? Public misunderstanding of welfare services came up again later in the meeting. Programs categorized as companion services are “one reason why the public has a bad image of welfare,” said Mrs. Johnson. “People ask why should I pay for someone to sit with somebody?” Companion services are part of the state and federal thrust towards keeping so many elderly from entering nursing facilities, Mrs. Buntin explained. She added that children can’t be forced to care for their parents. The public doesn’t understand Companion Services, said Mrs. Johnson. “They visualize a person sitting, watching T.V. and playing checkers.” She emphasized that the program also involves light housekeeping and is a feasible alternative to custodial care. “In the long run, it’s cheaper than putting someone in a nursing home but the public never looks at it that way.” FIVE GENERATIONS were gathered Saturday for a family celebration. Inchided are Mrs. Josephine 'Umbers, 8; Mrs. Ethel Bailey, Edward Bailey, Jr., all " of Washington; Mrs. Cheryl Gaskins and son Christopher of Jeffersonton, The gathering was held at the home of Edward Bailey, Jr. who was celebrating his »■* 25th wedding anniversary. The picture below is Mr. and Mrs. Bailey, Jr. Our Rappahannock Heritage Turkey Tally Breaks Record C. H. “Kit” Shaffer, Game Management Field Coordinator with the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries has compiled some preliminary data pertaining to the results of the spring gobbler season in the Old Dominion, which indicates that once again hunters have enjoyed a record harvest. Shaffer reports that, “to date* a total of2,863 bearded birds have been recorded, an increase of 72 turkeys over the 1976 harvest of 2,791. “The season, which opened Saturday, April 16, 1977 and closed Saturday, May 14, 1977 offered spring sportsmen a large number of mornings with excellent weather, with the exception of the last week when high winds prevailed. Early morning temperatures were unseasonably high, with only a trace of rainfall recorded over the entire period. Giles County hunters again led the entire state in gobbler harvest with % birds; Bath Co. was second with 80 birds, followed by Nelson and Dinwiddie with 77 each, and Bedford Co. with 71. Rockingham County recorded a total of 69 of the big black game birds. All sections of Virginia contributed to the excellent results, indicating a good population of the bird in all regions. “It appears that the unusually warm weather in March may have triggered an earlier than usual breeding. Some Turkey watchers felt that the peak of the gobbling activities occurred the first week of the season, when between 50 and 60 percent of - the gobblers were harvested. Statewide reports show a simjlaf pattern in the last portion of the season. “There appeared to be a large number of gobblers remaining in the woods, but they were extremely difficult to call within, gun range. These big gobblers should be available during the Fall turkey hunting season and in the spring of 1978. By that time, they should be bigger—and wiser.” Game Bird Hearing Set June 21, 1977 is the date scheduled for a public hearing on proposed migratory game bird regulations, according to information received from the Interior Department’s Fish and Wildlife Service. The hunting regulations for seasons opening prior to October 1, 1977 will be reviewed during the meeting which will convene at 9 A.M. on June 21, 1977 in the auditorium, General Services Building, 18th and F Streets/ N.W.

Royal Ave., Front Royal, .2263a'- =/> Editor: Win the Rappahannock Planning Commission take the next step to triple our property taxes when it meets on June 8th? Taxes will surely be doubled if the more than one thousand subdivision lots already in existence are occupied. What will happen if the Commission allows even one more piece of farmland be rezoned residential and subdivided (under the current zoning regulations)? This action will open the flood gates of greed to other land vultures. Nobody will have justification for stopping them; the precedent will be set And our taxes will begin to climb. AH other counties around us have found that increased population brings increased taxes to pay for education, refuse disposal, police services, and so on. Their experience tells us that another thousand families will at least double our taxes and new subdivisions will only worsen the situation. We will see our taxes tripled eventually if we do not act. On June 8th Herbert Barksdale, NewbiH Miller, Pate Lake, George Muth, David Fannon, Walter^ Mastenon, and Allen Stokes, members of the Planning Commission, will hold a public hearing to recommend to the Board of Supervisors whether or not the farm land near Flint Hill, that Mr. Good bought and is now seeking to subdivide, should be zoned residential. If this subdivision is allowed, others will soon appear and the taxes will start to climb, our beautiful hillsides will end their productivity and turn into suburbs and the destruction of the rural environment of Rappahannock County will begin. The few will make money at the expense of the many. This rezoning must be prevented. The will of the Rappahannock people must be made known to the Planning Commission, I urge you to advertise well this next meeting of the Commission so that concerned citizens wap be present. NELS PARSON “Rare Quality” Praised Dear Editor, Laurie Marshall, van driver for Rappahannock’s , senior citizen nutrition program, has a rare quality about her. She is a very talented person who gives of her time but most of all she gives herself. Delegate Candidates Face Issues Cont. From Last Week daphne McCullough Slopes Studied Davis disagreed. “More scientific research was done in this county on slopes, soils and land usage than any other county in the state of Virginia. . .An excellent engineering study was made” and all this was taken into consideration and incorporated in Rappahannock ordinances, he said. “Our ordinances have been tested in court and in every instance, they stood up. I think they will stand up in every future instance,” Davis stated. Luke suggested that the Planning Commission hold a public hearing to get citizen opinion on whether the rezoning for Good’s property should be recommended to the Supervisors. Davis agreed that this was the proper course to follow. He added that developers should first submit a rezoning application before applying for preliminary plat approval on a subdivision. ** {fearing Voted “It’s disappointing to me, sir, that this governing body has been functioning so long without knowing what to do,” interjected real estate agent Peggy Clark. All apeaking at the same time, several Planners immediately defended the Commission, stating that confusion only involved the. proper order of procedural steps. The Planners voted unanimously to hold a public hearing on the rezoning. “We’ve been up here four times. Why is this the first time that rezoning is mentioned?” asked a developer representative. “We thoujght pan knew what you were doing,” Chairman Barksdale responded, adding that the requirement was clearly stated in the ordinance. “Why wasn’t it told us three months ago? countered the developer spokesman. Newbill Miller answered that rezoning had been ; mentioned at previous meetings; whether the developer remembered it or not. f ; (At the February 16 Commission meeting. Miller, Barksdale and Baumgardner discussed rezoning requirements when Good’s application first came before i the Planners for action.) .&>&■{-¥ Easy On Developers . ' Davis commented that. In the past, the Planning Commission'had tried to go easy on developers and save them some money by combining approval and rezoning action. From now on, the Planners should insist that procedural steps be followed in the proper order, he advised. “It’s 25-acre zoning that’s doing the county in,’’ claimed Peggy Clark. She charged that an unidentified member of the Planning Commission had a large lot development with the worst access in Rappahannock and that it didn’t meet ordinance regulations. “I think it’s a good thing to practice zoning for all the people,’’ she said. “Some get zoning through and others don’t.’’ Commonwealth Attorney Davis responded that ordinance requirements applied equally to everyone and suggested that Mrs. Clark petition to have the ordinances changed if she was disatisfied with regulations. Agricultural Character Phil Irwin, president of The Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, asked Davis what the Planners were required to take into consideration in action on the rezoning application. “It’s a much different situation in rezoning that in plat approval for a subdivision,’’ answered Davis. “The Supervisors would not be acting in an arbitrary or capricious manner if they stated they wanted to maintain the-agricultural or conservation character of the county and can’t very well maintain it if they allow random scattering of subdivisions” or other incompatible uses, Davis said, ty Land best suited for farming is also land best suited for development, noted Davis. If the county doesn’t exercise controls, all the good farm land will eventually be built on and paved over, he “I don’t think you’d have any trouble with the Supreme Court upholding the county’s decision that it (the preservation of agricultural character) is In the best Interests of the people in the county and a proper exercise of police powers in denying a subdivision in an agricultural district,” stated Davis. He added that the Supervisors would need to set forth ,feaaons that show the denial is based on the original intent | of the county’s ordinances. Her comments on Special Thursdays, an article that appeared in the May 19 edition of the Rappahannock News, was only a glimpse of Laurie. In less than three months or only 12 days of lunches, she has logged many memories for herself and has gotten to know these people of your county better than many of you who have been around them all your lives. Since our program runs on a shoestring and a thin one at that, she paints houses so she can afford to eat and uses her van driver day to be with our people. My work has been made easier by her.
