Rappahannock News, June 23, 1977

28th Year, No. 32 vir.ai::iA stats library RtCSaOHD 1)11 2j3'l$ The County Family Newspaper Founded 1877 8 Pages THURSDAY, JUNE 23,1977 Washington, Virginia / Pilot Lands Safely Lady Luck was riding with Zane Donalson last week when the navigational instruments in his Piper Cub went out while he was flying over Rappahannock’s mountains. The fog that shrouded the county on June' 14 lifted just long enough for him to spot an open field on the Bridges’ property near Gid Brown Hollow and he managed to set his plane down safely. Donalson, a law enforcement officer from Pittsburg, was returning from Richmond when his instrument panel malfunctioned. He said that he flew blind for about a half an hour, following Route 211, until he saw a break in the clouds. The first field that he checked out for an emergency landing strip was spotted with rocks but a second on the opposite side of Route 622 looked suitable and he landed with no damage to his aircraft. Donalson had left the plane and was walking out to the road when Jack Bruce found him. “He was just as calm as could be,” said Bruce. “He looked more like he was rabbit hunting” than coming away from a close brush with disaster. Bruce said he and his brother-in-law Thurman Hawkins, who was visiting from Miami, heard the plane circling. When they noticed that the engines went off, they decided to investigate. 4V Hawkins’ wife is a pilot, Said Mrs, Bruce, “so they were a little more aware of what was going on than we were. They knew a plane was landing.” Donalson was “rescued” and brought back to the Bruce’s home. He expected to fly his plane out the following day when help arrived from Pittsburg. However, the other pilot didn’t show up until Friday. Donalson’s plane was started but unexpected difficulties were encountered and the Piper Cub was moved to James W. Fletcher's hangar in the F. T. Valley where it stayed before finally making the return flight to Pittsburg on Monday. During his enforced stay in the county, Mrs. Bruce said that Donalson visited Washington and “was quite impressed with the little village.” She added that he was equally impressed with Rappahannock residents and found people from the county friendly and helpful.

Comprehensive Plan Discussed By daphne McCullough Rappahannock News Staff Writer “The Planning Commission is right to be suspicious about what a Comprehensive Plan has done in other counties,” Washington resident Jim Marshall told the Rappahannock Planners at last Wednesday’s meeting. Plans adopted in other localities have been “shot full of holes in court mostly because they were arbitrary,” he said., . _ _ Marshall maintained that if the county arrived at goals and conclusions in a logical manner, “then the courts would listen to you . . . Your responsibility is not to do a plan but to do a good one. Then that’s the tool, the only tool, that has a prayer of enabling you all to keep this county the way you want it.” A check list for subdivision action was the only item on the Planning Commission’s short agenda last week. A report from Planner Walter Masterson on new selfcontained sewer systems sparked discussion on a comprehensive plan for the county and during discussions on the checklist, the Planners found a loophole in the ordinances. Masterson said that a recent issue of the Wall Street Journal carried an article on experimental sewer systems that are being developed by companies including Virginia Fiber Glass Product, Inc., in Roanoke. “The point is,” said Masterson, “if this is approved by the Health Department, every one of the county’s 1,078 lots becomes a viable parcel that someone can build on.’’ He suggested that the information on sewer systems be brought to the attention of the county Supervisors. Newbill Miller agreed that approval by the Health Department afid- other agencies of the self-contained systems would have a definite impact on Rappahannock. County ordinances that control growth are “based on an economic factor and it’s rapidly disappearing,” he said. However, Miller expressed doubt that a comprehensive plan would improve the county’s chances of dealing with development. “I want to see a comprehensive plan that isn’t designed to encourage growth,” he state. Miller agreed that one acre subdivisions plunked down in the middle of the county could be avoided with adoption of a plan, but he asked if a plan wouldn’t ensure rezoning for areas designated for growth. No Pat Answers Jim Marshall answered that he didn’t have any pat answers to criticisms leveled against comprehensive plans and agreed that a locality could get into trouble by Rappahannock New* Staff Photo/Daphne McCullough SAFE AND SOUND.

New Members on County Library Board Two new mem ben have been added to the board of directors of Rappahannock County Library. Maurice G. Herndon pnd Dr. Carroll* Quaintance, both of Sperryville, have agreed to aerve as directors. S' Mr. Herndon is a native Virginian and has been a Rappahannock property owner since 1952. He is now l permanent resident of Rappahannock, living at “Greenock” near Sperryville. He spent much of his life Involved with newspapers in Washington, D. C., and has been an executive assistant of some members of Congress from Virginia. For 30 years Mr. Herndon has been a government relations representative for elements of the insurance business. Dr. Quaintance, a Rappahannock native and member of a family which has contributed markedly to the county, is a patent attorney. The office of his firm is located in Arlington at Crystal City, which also houses the headquarters of the U. S. Patent Office. Dr. Quaintance received his Master’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania; his LLD from Columbia University and his LLB from Rutgers. He practiced patent law for 30 years in New York City and has found a special interest in chemical engineering patent law. Mrs. Mary Jamieson, a library officer, said, “The Library is fortunate to have the interest of these fine people centered on the Library. Many benefits will be derived from the memberships of both of these men on the board of directors.” attempting to be too specific with a plan. "Could you draw up a comprehensive plan and say you want to keep this county rural?” asked Miller. “Would that be legal?” Marshall replied that he wasn’t sure if the county could legally prohibit all growth but added that “you can go a long, long way in that direction and it’s legal.” He disagreed with assertions made on previous occasions by, Rappahannock Commonwealth Attorney George Davis that the county’s ordinances and maps meet state requirements for a comprehensive plan. Marshall maintained that county ordinances neither meet the letter of requirements as stated in the law nor do they encompass major long range issues. Designating specific areas for growth and others as permanently agricultural in a comprehensive plan will cause problems in a county as small as Rappahannock, said Miller. Telling one landowner that he has to maintain his property in farm use while allowing another to subdivide "becomes a personal thing, becomes an economic thing,” he added. “You can’t write down on paper and tell a man what he’s got to do and what he can’t do with his land in this county,” commented Chairman Herbert Barksdale. Marshall interjected that a designation of future residential subdivision wouldn’t force a landowner to develop, only allow him to. County Has Plan Newbill Miller stated that he agreed with Rappahannock’s Commonwealth Attorney that the county currently has the information and material required for a comprehensive plan and all that’s necessary is to organize it and put a label on it. Marshall disagreed and volunteered to send each of the Planners a copy of the Virginia Code section that applies to comprehensive plans. Masterson commented that he thought the Planning Commission had shown good judgment in not rushing into adoption of the required plan. “As we learn more, we’ll make a better comprehensive plan,’’ he said. “I’m not going to discuss this further until I get a copy of the Code,” said Miller and the rest of the Planners agreed to follow his lead. Planner Alan Stokes asked Marshall if he would also study the county ordinances in reference to requirements for a comprehensive plan. “Maybe you can convince us it’s worthwhile,” Barksdale told Jim Marshall, in reference to adoption of acomprehensive plan. “I’m not sure.” “I’m convinced it’s worthwhile if we’re smart enough to not make mistakes,” added Miller. Subdivision Check List Earlier in the meeting, the Planners went over a sub(Continued on Page 4) Sheriff Wants Entire Report Released Commonwealth’s Attorney George H. Davis Jr. in a memorandum dated June 17 to the board of supervisors again voiced the opinion that Sheriff William A. Buntin and his deputies have submitted mileage vouchers which Davis deems “improper.” Included in the memorandum are excerpts from an investigation of the sheriffs vouchers completed lune 13 by Sgt. R. A. Fleshman and Investigator T. J. Dever of the Virginia State Police. The State Police report, ivhich covers the months of May and November 1976 and ranuary 1977, indicates that ‘9408 proper miles, 12,480 mproper miles and 1286 inknown miles” may have been logged in the threemonth period. The memorandum does not state what criteria were used in determining which miles logged were “proper” or “improper.” Davis maintains that it is improper for members of the Sheriff s Department to “patrol the highways” when not responding to specific complaints of a crime in progress or having been committed. Sheriff W. A. Buntin says he has reason to believe that the investigators did not determine which mileage was improper or proper, but rather that this was Mr. Davis’ interpretation of the mileage check. According to Sheriff Buntin, at the beginning of Policing Requests Increase The Rappahannock Sheriffs Department is receiving an increasing number of requests to “police” locations in the county. In response to vandalism that left 11 broken windshields on county school buses, the Rappahannock School Board passed a formal resolution at last week’s meeting, asking the Sheriffs Department to check the elementary school and high school during evenings and weekends. Superintendent O. A. Norton also told the Board that unauthorized groups were using school grounds, particularly on weekends. “I don’t know what to do unless we ask the Sheriff to enforce the no trespassing law," said Norton. He agreed to provide Sheriff W. A. Buntin with a list of those authorized by the Board to use the grounds. Washington Post Master Mrs. J. Newbill Miller has asked that the Sheriffs Department check the Washington post office nightly in light of new postal regulations. Merchants in Flint Hill have also asked that their establishments be “policed" regularly in an attempt to prevent possible criminal activity. the investigation he was advised by the investigators that Davis had listed at least four other types of violations which had occurred, and wanted them investigated also. “In order to be fair to me and to my department and to the taxpayers of Rappahannock County, Davis should release the results of the investigation in its entirety, not his interpretation,” said Buntin. “Mr. Davis’ interpretation of what mileage is improper, as he has related to me several times, is the policing of towns in Rappahannock County, the business places, the schools and the dumps," Buntin continued. “He has further said that no mileage is proper for policing except when a call has been received by the Sheriffs Department that an offense has been committed or is about to be committed.” “If this is the type of policing that the citizens of the county want, they should contact their supervisors and make their feelings known so ffieir board members might be governed by the wishes of their constituents,” the sheriff said. The final report of the State Police investigation and their findings has been sent to the Attorney General’s office in Richmond for evaluation and determination as to what is proper and improper mileage claimed by the Sheriffs Department. "I’ll be more than happy to have the results of the Attorney General’s findings made available to the public regardless of what the findings are,” said Buntin. THE CANDIDACY OF GEORGE P. BEARD, JR. for the House of Delegates in the November election has been endorsed by retiring Delegate D. French Slaughter, Jr. Both are of Culpeper. If elected, the candidate would represent the counties of Rappahannock, Culpeper, Madison and Orange. Mandated Programs Upset School Board By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH Rappahannock News Staff Writer Discussions on federal and state mandates took up a considerable portion of time at the Rappahannock School Board’s four hour meeting on June 14. Once again, School Board members expressed dismay, consternation and disagreement with requirements forced upon localities by higher jurisdictions, jurisdictions. Superintendent O. A. Norton asked the Board for authority to sign assurances of compliance on behalf of the county school system with the federal Rehabilitation Act. “This merely assures that we will comply with the handicapped law,’’ he said, adding that agreement was a prerequisite for any federal funding. The Rehabilitation Act requires no immediate action from the county except signing the assurance form, said Norton. However, he added that there are "things down the road that we will be required to do two or three years hence that this law speaks to.” The law requires that all parts of school buildings must be accessible to handicapped children and as an example of future county responsibility in meeting this regulation, Norton said all bathrooms must have a stall with a door wide enough to accommodate wheel chair entrance. Dr. William Bloomer, who will assume the position of Superintendent upon Norton’s retirement, explained that requirements in the Rehabilitation Act will be implemented in four time frames. The county must sign assurances within 30 days, have all programs accessible to handicapped children in 60 days, conduct a selfevaluation study to determine areas of deficiency in meeting the law within a year and within three years, all school facilities must be adapted to meet Rehabilitation Act guidelines. “Even if we have no handicapped children enrolled in the schools?" asked Board member Arthlinda Quaintance. Bloomer agreed that this was the case. Norton interjected that Rappahannock Schools were much better off financially in having to meet the law’s requirements than many other localities in that both educational plants are one-story structures that won’t need elevators installed. “Appropriate” Education Bloomer stated that he shared the Board members’ concern about federal regulations that require every handicapped child be provided with an ‘‘appropriate, free education.” The meaning of appropriate has never beep defined, said Bloomer. “That’s the crux of it.” ,“Do we need a legal opinion?” asked Board member Walter Masterson. Bloomer suggested that the School Board wait until the year the county is required to do the self-evaluatioa before looking into the ‘‘legal ramifications.” The mandate for an “appropriate, free education” is giving all public school officials a fit right now, he continued, t because “no one has ruled on what appropriate means.” Bloomer noted that other localities had tried to avoid signing the assurances by agreeing to forfeit federal funds only to find this move wouldn’t work. According to the new Superintendent, the government can take legal action to force localities to provide a free and appropriate education for the handicapped despite receiving no Federal hinds and without having signed the Rehabilitation Act assurances. No Choice “Since we have no choice, I move we sign the assurances,” motioned Board member Beverly Massie. “Since we have no choice, I second the motion,” added Mrs. Quaintance. Chairman E. N. Montague noted that the motion was made, seconded and passed with reluctance. During a short break in the meeting, Mrs. Massie reported on an expensive new state mandate that may be adopted. According to Mrs. Massie, groundwork on the Standards of Quality for 1978-80, begun at a recent state School Board meeting, includes a provision that “gave me considerable cause for worry because it will cost the county between $54,000 and $60,000.” The proposal calls for increasing the ratio between professionals and students from 48 to 54 per 1000, based on average daily membership, she said. “If that’s adopted, it will mean hiring six additional professionals for Rappahannock,” Mrs. Massie continued. If the state is going to put added requirements in the Standards of Quality, it should be up to the state to provide funds for implementation, she maintained. “The Board needs to be heard on this,” she advised. Following her suggestion, the Board members voted unanimously to register protest with the county Supervisors and the State Board of Education on the state’s mandate of programs without consideration of a (Continued on Page 8)

By daphne McCullough Rappahannock News Staff Writer Judging from remarks made at last Tuesday’s meeting of the Rappahannock School Board, several Board members feel that applicants for teaching and administrative positions in the county school system should be evaluated, at least partially, on the basis of political leanings. They also indicated that determination of whether an applicant was conservative or liberal could be made through knowledge of his or her interests, hobbies and organization membership. The discussion began when Superintendent O. A. Norton presented Edwin Potts’ name as the administration’s choice for assistant principal at the elementary school. Norton reported that both he and principal Buddy Carter were “very impressed” with Potts and his wife. Board member Beverly Masie asked if any attempt was made, either during the personal interview or on the application form, to determine an applicant’s interests, hobbies and MOYERS MOTOR CO., INC.

Hogan said they felt adequate information of this type was brought out during considerations for employment. Board member Walter Masterson responded that he thought the Board had decided at the April meeting to require that Norton provide members with copies of resumes and application forms for all prospective employees a week in advance of decisions on hiring. If this procedure is followed, inteijected Mrs. Massie, Board members would have the opportunity to contact persons that they might know from the applicant’s community for additional background information not included in the Application. Norton explained that the time element involved fn hiring new people would make it difficult for him to provide the Board members with resume and application copies. “I offered one position to three people and they all turned it down. I don’t know how I would do it if I had to wait a week between each...Are you employing a Superintendent to hire people or not?” he asked.

However, he noted that School Board members might be privy to information from sources other than the Superintendent’s through personal cohtacts outside the county. “Would the School Board be liable if they turned down an application on the basis of such personal information and the applicant found out about it,?” asked Carter. “How would the Board members distinguish between fact and hearsay?” he questioned. The School Board members would be “derelict”' in their responsibility to protect community interests if they didn’t seek information on prospective employees from every source available to them, claimed Masterson. ;'f Several Board members suggested the possibility of circulating resumes and applications for comment without calling the School Board into session. “It’s the purpose of the administration to consider applications for employment and then present recommended choices to the Board for approval,” said Hogan. Involving the Board in preliminary work would be a duplication of service, he added. Norton stated that he u thought he had been authorized by the Board to ySend out letters of intent to employ while awaiting Supervisor action on next year’s proposed salary scale for teachers and school administrators. He noted that without this authority, it would be necessary to call the Board into session for consideration of each new person to be hired. “I recall that you were given the authority, to go ahead and hire,” said Board member Paul Nichols. Board member Alan Stokes maintained that he remembered Norton agreeing to give the Board members an opportunity to consider and comment on applications if the time involved didn’t exceed a week. Norton acknowledged that he may have agreed to the procedure, provided it could be accomplished in a week’s time, but had decided later that the practice t was unworkable. .. Masterson repeated that the suggestion was not his and that he could see points on both sides of the argument. He added that he had only brought the matter up “to clarify the record.” Mrs. Massie interjected that she had asked the question on hobbies and participation in community activities because she thought by finding out “some of the things they’re interested in; you find out how liberal a person is.” “What is a prospective teacher is only interested in education and the welfare of Chester Gap Carnival Opens Wednesday The Chester Gap Volunteer Fire Department will hold their annual carnival starting Wednesday, June 29 and continuing through Saturday.

Hogan noted that the kind of information requested by Mrs. Massie was already available to the Board. “Many times, you can look at the application and determine by participation in campus activities if an applicant is liberal or conservative,” he said. Stokes immediately moved that the conversation be continued in executive session. The Board members voted unanimously to do so. When asked, Chairman E. N.

THURSDAY, JUNE 23,1977 Jobs For Young People For millions of American teenagers, summer means a time of fun and a break from school work. But increasingly today, under heavy family financial pressures, it also means trying to find a summer job or, in the case of those who have left school, any sort of job at all. That has become tough- While we don’t have statistics for this area in Virginia, the national unemployment rate for the labor force as a whole in the first three months in 1977 was 7.4 per cent. But 18.6 per cent of 16 and 19 year olds were jobless, including 37.8 per cent of the blacks in that age group. Summer job programs sponsored by local governments usually are swamped by applicants. New York, for example, plans to hold a lottery to fill 1,100 summer jobs with the parks department. The demand is huge despite the .fact that the jobs involve heavy physical labor apd pay only $27 a day for three days of work a week. Available jobs today go begging because young people regard them as demeaning. There is substantial truth in the feeling that rising expectations in this country are destroying the work ethic. Somewhere along the line, we are losing pride in simply having a working job. Kids no longer feel that whatever job they have, it has some dignity. They hold the trash man in low esteem, but where would town people be without him? The main reason jobless teenagers have trouble finding work is that they lack marketable skills. Recognizing this, President Carter has proposed a $1.5 billion program to provide about 200,000 jobs for young people. The House passed a bill embodying Carter’s proposals in May, and similar legislation is pending in the Senate. But Mr. Carter and Congress are missing a much greater opportunity. The problem is that businessmen simply can’t pay minimum wages which the federal government requires be paid equally to unskilled youngsters and to trained adults. Labor unions, more powerful than the President and Congress in these matters, won’t have it. There is nothing for labor unions in the per centage of dues they could collect from kids. It is bitter medicine to see these tired old moguls of big labor having such a stranglehold on the Congress and Presidency that they cannot legislate honest opportunity for kids, except by government paid jobs. So the minimum- wage law leaves employers’ hands tied, effectively preventing them from giving those jobs to youngsters which would enable them to learn skills, to get their foot in the door and progress to higher pay. We can only do what we can then in this community with the limited jobs small businessmen can afford to give and pay. Toward that, this newspaper will over the next month offer low cost ($1) classified ads to any youngster seeking a summer job. We hope the businessmen and farmers here will give them a leg up. And Planners Find Loophole In Ordinances (Continued from Page 1) division check list drawn up by County Engineer Fanning Baumgardner. He explained that he’d done the project as a flow chart rather than a standard list since many of the items were not required to be done in order but instead occurred simultaneously or depended on previous action. Masterson suggested that Zoning Administrator, Planning Commission and Supervisor activity be colorcoded so responsibility could be easily determined. Masterson and Barksdale both noted the advisability of having a date and signature on an applicant’s first contact with the administrator. On many occasions, county authorities may be dealing with people who do not understand how to develop, noted Miller. He advised that applicants for subdivision approval be given—or sold—copies of Rappahannock’s zoning and subdivision ordinance “and see that they comply with it.” Burden on Subdivides “We need to make sure that the ordinances are studied,” Miller continued. “The burden ought to be on the subdivider to comply with the ordinances rather than on the county to lead them around by the hand.” He suggested that each item, or station, in the flow chart check list be numbered and a record kept of the date on which each was complied with. “If we had something on record, we’d know where to put our finger” if mistakes or confusion occurred, said Barksdale. Baumgardner agreed to include dates for each event in the record form. “Beginning with the first contact with the Administrator,” interjected Barksdale. "And make the record a part of the application,” added Masterson. At the suggestion of the Planners, Baumgardner said he would include a notation on possible need for a rezoning somewhere at the beginning of the flow chart even though this requirement may not be obvious until time of final plat approval and determination of exactly how many lots are involved in the development. “We would have avoided a great deal of criticism if we’d had a flow chart with the rezoning requirement” prior to considerations of C. L Goode’s proposed Flint Hill subdivision, noted Miller. He said that he’d been bothered by questions concerning Goode’s proposed rezoning after the June 8 public hearing on the matter and had gotten up in the middle of the night to check county ordinances for information. Loophole Discovered After checking, Miller continued, he’d found that the ordinances contained no minimum lot size for RS-1 districts, the designation Goode had requested. Miller maintained that a developer, after being granted a rezoning to RS-1, could go to one acre lot size instead of five acres as long as subdivision ordinance requirements were met. For one acre lot size, a developer must put in public water and sewer, interjected Baumgardner. “What’s to stop him from putting it in, once the property is rezoned?” asked Miller. A developer would need a rezoning to R-l, instead of RS-1, for small lots with an approved public water and sewer systems, answered Baumgardner. There’s still no minimum lot size in RS-1 districts, countered Miller. The ordinance says that without water and sewer, minimum lot size is five acres, Baumgardner responded. “I don’t see anything in this ordinance that prevents a developer from putting in an approved water and sewer system in RS-1,” Miller argued. Then the developer could go to smaller, one-acre lots, he maintained. None of the Planners could find anything to disprove Miller’s assertion and they agreed that this was an area that would need to be addressed in later revisions of county ordinances. The same situation exists in regard to residential business districts, commented Alan Stokes. **tt’s not very well defined,” he concluded. Girl Scouts Attend Camp Fifteen Rappahannock Girl Scouts and Brownies have been attending day camp near Boston this week along with girls from Culpeper and Madison Counties. The girls have been ^swimming, taking hikes, | cooking out and making handicrafts during a busy fend exciting week. The older ^ girls1 bad an ovecgigM camp Brownies from Rappahannock participating are Regina Manwaring, Tara Fishet, Mamie Turman, Heather Henry and Heather Kilpatrick. Rappahannock Fly-Ups (girls who have completed Brownies and will be Junior» Girl Scouts next year) are ' Nancy Proctor, Jackie Wayland, Betty Kid well, and Kimberly Helmer. Carolyn Manwaring of Woodville is Leader of the Fly-Ups from the three counties at camp this week. Juniors participating from Rappahannock are Kimberly Way!and, Tammy Adams) Molly McKoy and Raynatta Gheen. Valerie Jones of -Amissville is leader of the Juniors. Sheri Brown and Michelle Jenkins are Rappahannock’s ^contribution to the Cadette Girl Scout group. / i AUSTRALIAN BEEF EXPERTS, Mr. and Mrs. Bob Smith o! Sydney, visited the Bill Lyne family recently and while in the county, made stops at Ned Johnson’s farm at Sperryville and Newbill Miller’s farm near Washington to see Angus cattle studs. The cattle business in Australia is apparently much more wide open than in Rappahannock. According to Mr. Smith, paddocks "Down Under” are 800 acres and larger, and the herds are rounded up with airplanes. “At Large” School Board Member Deleted The Rappahannock School Electoral Trustees have changed the number of members on the Rappahannock School Board from six to five. For the past six years, each of the five districts in the county was represented on the Board and a sixth member was appointed "at large”. A decision on School Board membership became necessary when E. N. Montague of Sperryville, the "at large” representative, announced that he would not be considered for reappointment when his term expired. The Electoral Board met at the Rappahannock Elementary School on Friday before a large delegation of county school patrons. Board members John S. Browning of Flint Hill, Goerge E. Muth, Woodville and chairman C. E. Johnson, Jr., Sperryville, heard everyone wishing to speak on the matter. Chairman Johnson opened the meeting by stating that the Electoral Board members had received numerous calls and letters, both pro and con, for retaining six members. He said that all the Electoral Trustees had felt considerable pressure on the issue and had wanted to keep politics out of the decision. Johnson outlined the qualifications of School Board members and noted that the Electoral Board did not have any jurisdiction over members once they were appointed. Speaking from the floor for a Citizens-Patron group, the Rev. Ronald Wiley said his group felt that better representation, especially for low income people in the county, would be more complete with a six-member School Board and stated that he wanted to recommend an appointee when the time came to accept nominations. Others voicing much the same sentiment included Dean Hahn, Mrs. Mary Quaintance, Mrs. Farrell Nicholas, Mrs. Pauline Bruce, Mrs. Rachel Aylor, Howard Butler, Mrs. Sarah Latham and Mrs. Sean Kilpatrick. After listening to those in favor of a six-man Board, Chairman Johnson asked to hear from those in favor of reducing the membership to five. His request met with utter silence. After getting no response, Johnson asked again for discussion from those favoring five members. Again, the only answer was silence. He then asked Mrs. Newbill Miller if she had anything to say and received a negative head shake. John Browning enumerated reasons for reducing Board membership to five and later made a motion to that effect. The motion was seconded by Mufh, who added reservations about his vote. With Johnson and Browning casting affirmative votes for a five-member Board and Muth against, the lower number was established. Since there was no one visibly promoting a fivemember School Board, those present at the meeting asked who was in favor of the reduced membership. The Electoral Trustees refused to comment or release names. After the meeting, Chairman Johnson encountered Mrs. Newbill Miller in the auditorium and said “I feel just like someone who has had the rug pulled from under him!” Board Supports Athletics Athletic programs in the county got a boost from the Rappahannock School Board at the June meeting. The Board approved use of school grounds for the Rappahannock Athletic Associations baseball program and accepted the Panther Athletic League’s proposal to raise money for a high school track. Chairman E. N. Montague said that plans for the track looked feasible if rock ledges on the property didn’t interfere with construction. Superintendent O. A. Norton told Athletic League spokesman Henry Hudson that he had a contour map for part of the site, if that would be helpful. “A plat would be helpful, too,” Hudson replied, “We Service News Army Private First Gass William L. Sharp, 19, son of Mr. and Mrs. George H. Sharp, Washington, Va., recently was assigned to the 394th Transportation Battalion in Germany. He is an aircraft electrician in the battalion. Pfc. Sharp entered the Army in October 1976. He attended the College of William and Mary, Williamsburg. Army Private John E. Allot Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. John E. Allen Sr., Boston, Va., recently completed training as a cannoneer under the One Station Unit Training (OSUT) Program at Ft. Sill, Okla. OSUT is a 13-week period which combines basic combat training with advanced individual training. Students learned the duties of a howitzer or gun section crewman and received instruction in handling ammunition, setting fuses and preparing charges, communications and maintenance. Pvt. Allen entered the Army in February of this year. He is a 1975 graduate of Bowie (Md.) High School. don’t want to put it on someone else’s property.” The track needs to be on fairly level ground to ensure proper drainage, noted Norton, adding that it may be necessary to have a contour map drawn for the entire tract. Has the League considered incorporating? asked Montague. "It might make things simpler for the Board to deal with a legal entity.” He asked if the League could incorporate and still remain tax free. “Yes, you can,” responded Jim Secrist. But even if the League incorporates, it still couldn’t sign contracts to do work on school ground, he noted. Norton agreed that the Board would have to be the contracting body even if the track project was paid for with outside funds. Montague asked if it was necessary for the League to incorporate before a person making a contribution to the fund raising effort was allowed a tax credit? Secrist explained that contributions were tax deductible if the receiving organization was non-profit or charitable. “I think we could qualify as a charitable organization—easily,” he added. "If it were tax deductible, I think you would get bigger contributions,” Montague commented. Nancy Secrist told the Board that some confusion existed in the community over whether school property included enough land for a track. "I don’t think there’s any question about there being room enough,” responded Hudson. He said a track had already been laid out on plans prepared by the Soil Conservation office and the shop teacher. “So far as the Board JtQows, we have approximately 13 acres availablefor this Enterprise,” said Montague. Board member Paul Nichols added that about eight acnsa of the property was cleared. The Board voted unanimously to accept the League’s offer to raise money to clear and grade part of school property for a track. A second unanimous vote formally approved use of school grounds from June 6 through July 31 for baseball. Irvin Kenyon, president of the Rappahannock Athletic Association, reported that 165 girls and boys, from ages nine through 17, were registered in the program. The School Board is interested in having school property used by the community, said Norton. “Our main concern is that the property be protected and the programs run smoothly with proper supervision.” To avoid outside interference, Norton said that the Athletic Organization would have the authority to enforce the no trespassing regulations on the property. “We can put the field to good use,” Kenyon commented. He said that since the program began three weeks ago, he’d had no reports of unauthorized individuals trying to horn in on activities. Changes To the editor: v I have been reading with interest the editorials in the Rappahannock News on preserving the rural nature oi Rappahannock Co. There is no doubt that Rappahannock County is facing major changes in its population and land uses. The County is fortunate that growing numbers of citizens, fanners, business leaders and the newspaper recognize that increasingly rapid changes are in the wind. Time is on the County’s side to rationally manage the coming change through improved land use planning and management along with complementary County Programs. Managing change is different from rejecting it. The County residents can not retreat into the hollows or post all the borders prohibiting newcomers. Blanket rejections of subdivisions or placing capricious demands on subdivisions over any period of time would probably be found illegal by the Virginia Courts as 1) an unfair denial of a land owner’s right to make fair and economical use of his land or 2) an unfair denial of American citizens right to freely travel and settle throughout the U.S. without discrimination. Managing change requires understanding its sources. The Rappahannock News has contributed to this and can further. One force of change which the News has noted is from within. There is a decline in the interest of the County youth to continue the farming traditions leaving the question, who will keep the County as it was? Also, as important is the fact that many farmers are unable to continue making a living at farming because of rising feed, and material costs. The outside forces for change are persons who you correctly identify as seeking the beauty of the County’s hills, streams, meadows and general peace. These are people like myself who work 5 days in the city but who cherish the land. We too want to protect the county from degradations. We too have a stake in the intelligent and orderly management of the change facing us. There are two reports on rural development maybe of some value to the county. They ought to be brought to the attention of the County Supervisors and planning commission as well as citizens. Both are national studies of the problems of urbanizing rural areas. The report Sub-Dividing Rural America: Impacts of Recreational Lot and Second Home Development is a study of rural recreation developments throughout the country. It tries to Identify the probable impacts of developments. It contains a number of action recommendations which may be of interest to the county although they are of necessity somewhat general to be applicable nationwide. The report Untaxing Open Space: An Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Differential Assessment of Farms and Open space examines whether property tax relief for farmers or owners of forest land truly contribute to the preservation of farms. The study concludes that tax relief programs do not really protect farms. Both reports may be obtained by writing the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C. 20402.

HOBEN Sperryville 3306 Circle Hill Rd. Alexandria, Va 22305 Democratic Unity Urged To the editor: I want to thank all who participated in the Democratic Primary. The candidates have been chosen by the democratic process—the voice of the people. I am sure that the spectrum is broad enough to include all Democrats in the State. Therefore, I urge all of us to unite to insure that a straight Democratic ticket will be elected in the fall. At the beginning of the contest after serious discussion with the County Committee, I made it very clear to all the candidates and their supporters that I would remain uncommitted until after the people had spoken, at which time we would consolidate our differences of opinion and give our full support to a united Democratic campaign in the Fall. In the words of former Governor John Battle "the strength of the Virginia Democratic Party is that it is broad enough to cover all political opinions under one umbrella." It is important that we have a united party, not only for this November’s election, but also for future years when it is entirely possible that Andy Miller who shows great promise for the future may again seek public office. We would then be able to offer him the united support of all Democrats in the State. A. H. KEYSER, Chairman Fannons Thanked To the editor: The Panther Athletic League would like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Bill Fannon for their generosity in allowing their polo field to be the site of the benefit polo game last Sunday. We would also like to thank the many Rappahannock citizens who supported the first project to raise funds for a RCHS track. The net from the fund raising polo game was approximately SI000.

ams Upset School Board (Continued from Page 1) locality’s ability to finance the same. Speech Therapy Program Rappahannock school children will share the services of a fulltime speech therapist with the regional Piedmont Vocational School next year. According to Superintendent Norton, the therapist will alternate between spending three days in the county one week and two days the next. Assistant Superintendent Raymond Hogan said that federal “flow through’’ funds were available to pay for special education programs not offered by the county in the past. These funds can be used for speech therapy since that program had been provided for Rappahannock students through Piedmont School previously, instead of directly by the county, he explained. Superintendent Norton added that speech therapy services are no longer available from Piedmont since the other area schools involved in the cooperative effort now have their own therapists. A maximum of 35 Rappahannock students will be served by the project and the county will be responsible for half of the salary for the position with 60 per cent of that half funded by the state, he said. No Additional County Funds The proposal will require no additional money over what is currently budgeted for special education, Norton continued. Reduced tuition to Piedmont and $1,600 in “flow through’’ money will cover the expenditure, he noted. “Special education scares me to death,” commented Masterson. Mrs. Massie predicted that total responsibility for the mandated special ed programs will soon be dumped on the localities. “This is a financial responsibility that the county is not prepared to accept and is the reason why the Rappahannock School Board has favored cooperative educational effort,” she noted. In another area related to special education, the School Board agreed to begin work on a laboratory program for students with math difficulties funded with Title One federal money. “We’ve concentrated primarily on reading in the past and we need to do some things in math,” said Norton. (Results of last year’s nationwide testing program indicated that county students were weakest in subject areas related to mathmatics.) A math lab would give additional emphasis and concentrated work for students with problems, ' Norton said, adding that the laboratory approach had been used successfully in the reading program. “The funds are there if you want to do it,” he concluded. Kindergarten Options Suggested The county will begin a state mandated kindergarten program for the first time this fall and Sharon Kilpatrick appeared at the Board meeting to request that consideration be given to allowing parents the option of sending their children to full or half day sessions. In order to eliminate or reduce hours of bus riding for the younger children, Mrs. Kilpatrick suggested that full-day classes be scheduled for kindergarteners who live in outof-the-way areas with halfday classes for children who live in the villages and on major roads or highways. Parents then could be given the option of choosing which schedule they preferred as long as class sizes could accommodate preferences, she said. Mrs. Kilpatrick added that parents from out-of-the-way locations who wanted their kindergarteners to attend half-day sessions could be required to transport their children to a centrally located bus pick-up point. Chairman Montague asked Mrs. Kilpatrick to get in touch with elementary school Principal Buddy Carter and Superintendent Norton to arrive at a concrete proposal on kindergarten scheduling for Board action at the July meeting. ++++ “How many miles per gallon do you get on your new car?” “I get seven.
