Rappahannock News, August 4, 1977

VIRGINIA STATE LIBRARY Study In Orange Proposed The Rappahannock* Rapidan Planning District Commission’s in-depth study of the area’s criminal justice system will apparently focus on Orange County and be conducted jointly with the Orange Commonwealth’s Attorney’s office. At last Thursday’s PD 9 meeting, Criminal Justice . * 'Planner John Jones reported that the District Criminal Justice Advisory Council had endorsed the concept of a comprehensive judicial system study. “We hope it would indicate where the bottlenecks are and if deficiencies exist,’’ he stud. “Data gathering should include information on incidence of crime, arrests, bonding, incarceration, preliminary hearing, grand jury action, trial, disposition (jail, penitentiary, fine cost), probation, parole and release,” Jones recommended. His report to the Commissioners noted that “a major concern in all elements would be to determine the total cost of the local criminal justice system.’’ Joint Effort Proposed Jones suggested that the project be undertaken in conjunction with the Orange County Commonwealth Attorney since that office had already won approval for a grant from the Division of Justice and Crime Prevention (DJCP) for a similar study. ^ “He’s (the Orange Commonwealth Attorney) quite willing to tie his program into ours and might possibly amend his 'grant to Include the Planning District Commission effort,” said Jones. He added that he had also talked to a juvenile judge who was willing to release limited date for use in PD 9*s study. Jones commented that each representative on the Criminal Justice Advisory Council had volunteered his own county for the study and all agreed that a comprehensive study should be done in a different locality every year until all the Planning District jurisdictions were covered. “Touchy Areas” Fauquier representative (Continued on Page 4) Served In Office 14 Years County Clerk Retires * j— mtwm E. M. JONES OF WASHINGTON RETIRED from the office of Clerk of Rappahannock County, effective July 31. A Emergency Feed Program Approved The Emergency Feed Program has been approved for Rappahannock County, and applications are now being taken by the Rappahannock County ASCS Office. The program will provide financial assistance for livestock feed to those producers who have eligible • livestock and an short on feed. Prior to making an application a producer should make an inventory of his current operation. It is necessary that the number of cattle one year old or more, the number of sows and hogs on full grain ration and all other livestock, be known and accurately reported when making an application. Also, the amount of grains, prepared feeds and hay on hand must be reported. If this information is readily available, it will be very helpful in preparing the application. Producers who feel that they will be short of feed for the winter feeding period are encouraged to come by the ASCS Office and make an application at their earliest convenience. The number of days of eligibility is determined by the date the application is made. Woodworking Class A woodworking class sponsored by the V.P.I. Extension office will be taught by Emmit White on Wednesday, August 9 and Thursday, August 10, from 9 a.m. to 11 at the Community Center in Washington. Plans are to have the beginning woodworkers make a threelegged stool. The class is open to boys and girls, eight years of age and over. Costs are S3 per child and parents are asked to register their children as soon as possible at the Extension office. ' . BELLRINGERS, THE OLDEST AND YOUNGEST active members at Wood; r ville Baptist were selected to ring the bell for the first time since 1929. They are v r. : Raymond Johnson and Kristie Johnson. The courthouse crowd lost * long-time Rappahannock native this week with the retirement of County Clerk Ned Jones. For the last 14 years, Jones has been in charge of all deeds and wills filed in the county and has kept records for marriages, court sessions and Board of Supervisor meetings, among other duties. Ned Jones is not simply a Rappahannock native—he’s a native of a native of a native, going back three generations. His greatgrandfather, James Brereton Jones, came from neighboring Fauquier County to settle in Washington. His grandfather Edward and father Jesse Frank all stayed and made their homes in the county. Jones attended elementary school and high school in Washington long before the county school system was consolidated and went on to earn a bachelor of science degree from V.P.I. He is married to the former Byrd Moncure Gravatt and they have two daughters, a son and six grandchildren. Jones was appointed clerk on February 1, 1963, following the retirement of James Settle. Settle’s deputy was to have been named to fill the' position but died before formal appointment was made, said Jones. Eva Smith agreed to take the job temporarily and served as clerk during January, 1963 before becoming Jones’s deputy upon his appointment. Since then, Jones said he had run for the office and been elected twice for eight year terms. In addition to service in county government, Jones has a farm on which he raises beef cattle and apples. He said he expected to have more time to devote to his farm following his retirement. 4-H’ers Corn A Success The Wshington 4-H Garden Club made approximately S20 on their door-to-door corn sale last weekend, according to Gub leaders Kathy DeLuise and Kathy Blough. “The kids were real eager,’’ said the leaders, in describing the sales efforts in Washington. They reported that the 4-Her’s expect to be back in the corn vending business in ten days or so when the second crop comes in. The 4-H’ers planted com, marigolds and sunflowers last spring on property donated for their use by Joyce and Peter Kramer. mmm TAKING THE OATH OF OFFICE AS CLERK of Rappahannock County is Diane Bruce, recently appointed and sworn in by Judge R. V. Snead, right. Looking on are retiring Clerk, E. M. Jones and Deputy Clerk Eva L. Smith. None Eligible For Drought Aid Although the county has been officially declared a disaster area after the worst drought in almost half a century, none of Rappahannock’s farmers have yet been certified as eligible for disaster relief programs, according to ASCS director Tom Eddins. The only program authorized in Rappahannock is the emergency feed program under which farmers who qualify are reimbursed for 50 per cent of their feed costs, not to exceed two cents a pound or $40 a ton. Determination of eligibility is complicated, said Eddins. To date, only pasture loss is considered, Eddins said. The dates for corn harvest and second cutting of hay have not passed so those two crops are not included in the program that terminates September 1. Eddins said he expected that the program would be extended and then it would be of more benefit to county farmers hit by the drought since corn and hay crop loss would be covered. Applications for the emergency feed program are being taken at the ASCS office. After the forms are filled out, the County Committee makes a determination on eligibility according to federal guidelines that accompany the program. If the farmer is determined to be eligible, then any feed bought after July 23 is covered for reimbursement, said Eddins. New Clerk Takes Office From Menefee to Jones, all ten Gerks who have served in Rappahannock have come from old county families. Diane Bruce, the new County Clerk, doesn’t break this precedent. “On both sides of my family, we’ve always lived in Rappahannock,” she commented. A graduate of Longwood College with a degree in business administration, Ms. Bruce attended elementary school in Sperryville and high school in Warrenton, where her mother was a teacher. She said she’s lived all around the county—from Leesburg to California—for the last ten years. “I came back permanently to Rappahanncock last fall,” she added. Ms. Bruce was appointed County Clerk by Circuit Court Judge Raynor V. Snead to fill the unexpired term of Ned Jones until November 1978. Then, she’ll have to stand for re-election. “I’d like to keep it,” she said of her job as Clerk, "if the people let me.” The oath of office was administered to Ms. Bruce early Monday morning by Judge Snead. School Board Rescinds Action On Transportation Honorary Dinner Worship services will be held at the Washington Baptist Church on August 7 at 11 a.m. All members of the Washington and Flint Hill Baptist Churches are asked to bring a covered dish for a fellowship dinner which will follow the service in honor of E. M. Jones, who has taught the Adult Bible Class for 25 years and to meet the Rev. David Moore, the new minister. With the aid of Roberts Rules, the Rappahannock School Board rescinded action taken at its regular meeting on July 12 concerning personnel transportation and the purchase of additional vehicles. Board member Walter Masterson, who at the regular meeting had seen no other solution but to get two more cars, had reversed his thinking and stated he feared a mushrooming effect on providing vehicles for school personnel. ‘‘We have to be realistic, and are we going to Woodville Church Bell Rings Again The church bell, damaged during a tornado in 1929, pealed once more Sunday after its restoration and relocation in a new steeple atop the Woodville Baptist Church. Bellringers were the oldest active member, Raymond Johnson, and the youngest active member, Kristie Johnson. The storm struck May 2, 1929 at 3:10 p.m.—the Baptist and Episcopal churches along with Woodville schoolhouse were among the buildings demolished. The church bell was broken but saved, and now maintains its lofty perch in the steeple which is still under construction. For the day's events Sunday, former members, friends and families came from far and near to hear former pastor George Bowman HI deliver the morning service, partake of the bountiful "dinner on the grounds” and hear George Beard of Culpeper present the dedication litany. B. L. Price, a Woodville resident, was Master of Ceremonies and introduced the speaker. The Rev. and Mrs. B. G. Titchenell were presented a silver tea service in recognition of their 17 years service to the community and church. Mr. Price was given a tray from the deacons and trustees in appreciation of his devoted service in preparation of the celebration. Former State Senator M. M. Long of St. Paul, Va., the oldest known person to have been baptized at Rudasill’s Mill into the church was present to unveil a memorial plate on a stained glass window in memory of his * parents and sister. After the to'rnado, reconstruction of the church was begun under the direction of the minister P. H. Chelf, and completed fifteen months later. This was a great day, according to church minutes, and the price of the building exceeded $5,000. New carpet has been installed in the church and a revival is being held this week with the Rev. Ronald Wiley of Sperryville as speaker. Abuse Counselor Here Tuesdays Bob Treanor, Substance Abuse counselor, will be working at the Mental Health Clinic in the Episcopal Church building in W^shipgton on Tuesday mornings. He will be available to deal with alcohol and drug problems. His phone number at the church is 675-3416. During the rest of the week, he can be reached at the Culpeper Mental Health Clinic at 8255656. perpetuate it?,” he asked. “Who will be the next to request an assigned vehicle? Where will it all stop? ” The situation originally arose when one of the automobiles previously used to transport bus drivers from home to starting point and back was given the new elementary school principal Buddy Carter. The outgoing principal had used her own car and was provided gas. The second vehicle was beyond repair for continued daily use, according to Superintendent Dr. William Bloomer. Board member Paul Nichols maintained the two vehicles were needed, that no reverse action should be taken, and that the purchase of the two vehicles be left to Dr. Bloomer. The State required that the superintendent be provided a vehicle. The rest is up to the localities. The school system is the only county agency which is supplied vehicles. Most Board members felt the Director of Instruction should also have a car since he services both schools, and the Supervisor of Transportation, Mr. Huff, certainly had to have one. “We should consider a car pool with priorities,” said Masterson, who felt that Dr. Bloomer could delegate use of the vehicles as he deemed necessary. Uses of the vehicles include hauling trash, supplies and commodities, transporting truant or sick students, obtaining parent signatures, according to Carter, who did not know if they could work from a pool when querried by Board member Alan Stokes. So the motion to purchase two vehicles was rescinded and a motion made by Stokes and passed unanimously called for upgrading the present fleet with multiple purpose vehicles not to exceed a thousand dollars plus revenue from the sale of vehicles going out of use, not to exceed the present number, 7. Another motion passed specified that Dr. Bloomer would assign the use of such vehicles as was deemed necessary. Comprehensive Plan? Another opinion on whether Rappahannock County does or does not have a comprehensive plan was added to the record at last Thursday’s meeting of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission. In a brief ordinance update for the five counties that make up the Planning District, PD 9 staffer David Marshall reported that all member jurisdictions met requirements passed by the Virginia General Assembly on planning commissions, zoning ordinances and comprehensive plans. All, that is, except for Rappahannock. “Rappahannock County does not have a comprehensive plan,” stated Marshall. "How was the decision made on whether Rappahannock has a comprehensive plan?” asked Commissioner Bob Anderson. “No comment,” was Marshall’s initial reply. “That’s a touchy subject.” However, he added tfiat the staff had been “keeping in touch through the newspapers.”

% . f Assailed: i i§ By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH Rappahannock Newa Staff Writer Bureaucracy got a few hard knocks at last Thursday’s meeting of PD-9, the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission. The commissioners voted down one project that would have added another layer of government inspection on local water systems and approved, but with reser uirector Howard Lieberman to explain to them at a future meeting exactly how the many facets of his Chapter Ten operation fit together. Identifying himself as a citizen from Orange County, Dr. R. S. LeGarde, regional health officer, swept up to the speaker’s podium to rail against bureaucratic inefficiency. “Duplication of effort, another layer of bureaucracy 7 mr% —Oranfe County Review Photo DR. R. S. LeGARDE Protects “Layering” Of Jobs That “Can Be Done At Home” vations, a new position for a PD-9 “litter staffer.” They endorsed an operations grant for a comprehensive mental health program from the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Board. However, the commissioners asked Services that will compound confusion...and will not help your health department.” That was his description of a grant proposal for a state public water system supervision program.

LeGarde maintained that the proposal for state supervised water testing “projects the employment of engineers who come at the same rate as doctors for a job that can be done by a sanitarian who is paid less than a teacher.” ,/ He added that the same' work could be done by the addition of four technicians to the combined health department staff of the five counties in the Planning District. Fauquier representative Richard McNear said that local inspection of water systems would result in better and faster compliance with state regulations. “A fraction of that (grant) money could be used to equip your local health department to do the same job more efficiently,” agreed LeGarde. The commissioners voted unanimously to forward their objections of the program to Richmond on the grounds that the proposal for state inspection would be a duplication of effort, inefficient, and could be better implemented under local control. Planning District Director John Cappelle asked the commissioners for authorization of a new, fulltime staff person to work with localities on litter control and the development of a solid waste management program. He added that the position would be funded entirely through the Litter Control Act passed last year. Fauquier representative Stevenson Mcllvaine doubted if litter control in the planning district’s five counties would be improved by the addition of another PD 9 staff position. “What we need is legislation to combat our serious litter problem. We need to be able to hit people who violate litter law,” he maintained. ' Commission Chairman E., P. Luke agreed. “Unless the fine is big enough to hurt, people are not going to pay any attention.” He noted that in Rappahannock County, government had tried to educate citizens with articles in the paper on how much it cost to pick up trash tossed around empty containers at the dumpster sites. “We tried to tell them this was one way they could keep 'their taxes down,” he said. But Luke added that the educational efforts achieved no results. Cappelle countered that a litter staffer could offer localities technical assistance in how to update litter control ordinances. Don’t Have Manpower “I believe the counties know what to do. They just don’t have the manpower,” Rappahannock Commissioner Robert Anderson responded. Mcllvaine agreed.

"Litter control is the first step towards solid waste management. I think we can help with this grant.” “I don’t see how it’s going to save one beer can from getting on the side of the road,” argued Anderson. “I share your skepticism but I will support this proposal because it will bring more attention to the problem of litter control and solid waste,” Mcllvaine said. With Anderson in opposition, the commissioners authorized the addition of a litter control specialist to the PD 9 staff. Multitude From Chapter Ten “Every month, someone is here from Chapter Ten—either Nutrition Services, Mental Health, or Aging,” said Chairman Luke in opening the discussion 6n the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Board’s grant application for a comprehensive mental health program. “Where do all these pieces fit?” he asked. “I think your point is well taken” answered Services Director Howard Lieberman. He maintained that the increase in grant applications was due to the expansion of Chapter Ten services—expansion that came “because the vehicle is working.” “I don’t know where this fits,” Luke repeated, in reference to the grant before the commission for action as part of the A-95 Review process. “I would vote no from the information I have here.” “The grant, if approved, will double the size of existing mental health facilities,’’ explained Lieberman. “The funds will be used basically to supplement the staff in existing clinics “so that we can do the kinds of things that should be done,” he said. Lieberman added that fhe, grant wUJ pcpyide the “intent of a .mental health center” with minicenters located in each of the District’s five counties. Limit Reached “If the grant is funded, it will mean a plateau in requests from Chapter Ten for money,” continued Lieberman. “There has to be a limit and that limit is what we put in here,” he stated. “Funding requests to localities in the future will be based on maintaining the existing level of services and not expansion,” he said.

According to Lieberman, 80 per cent of the Chapter Ten budget is comprised of salaries with the major part of budget in* creases due to employee cost of living and merit raises. ; “Chapter Ten’s salary policies could become a problem in the future if the counties’ share of the Chapter Ten budget grows to cover raises that are higher than what the counties feel they can give their own employees,” watned Mcllvaine. Lieberman assured the commissioners that all Chapter Ten salary policy is ultimately controlled by the funds made available from the member jurisdictions. The commissioners voted unanimously to endorse the grant application for the comprehensive mental health program.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 4,1977 On The Fence At the August 4 meeting of the Rappahannock Supervisors, C. L. Goode’s rezoning for a proposed Flint Hill subdivision will come up for action. We’d like to be able to speak out unequivocably on the issue but we have problems seeing the proper course for the Supervisors to follow. Accusations of fence straddling have been tossed ohr way and we’re probably guilty. We’d like to see legal grounds for denying the rezoning application. Were just not sure that they exist. We want farm land preserved and we’re committed to the safeguarding of Rappahannock’s rural character. We realize subdivision development invariably means greater demands placed on schools, fire and police protection, roads and trash disposal—demands that just as invariably result in higher taxes. And higher taxes mean the disappearance of more land from agricultural use tolling the death knell of Rappahannock County as we know it. Proponents of Goode’s development point to the need for additional housing to stop the exodus of young people from the county. It’s a valid argument until one realizes that Goode’s houses will fall near the $80,000 bracket, well out of the reach of most young families. The buyers of Mountain Slopes homes will not be Rappahannock natives. Instead, they will be part of the influx from suburbia. But, the man has followed all the rules and regulations for five-acre lot subdivisions allowed by Rappahannock’s zoning and subdivision ordinances and it appears that he’s been given the runaround by county government. It may be true that it’s not the county’s responsibility to lead developers by the hand but when the Planhtng Commissioners themselves aren’t sure of the sequence of procedure in subdivision approval, then it’s unreasonable to expect the subdivider to be an expert. After all, the Planners wrote the ordinances. Goode’s subdivision also may exceed slope requirements on part of his 70acre tract, depending on how county ordinances are interpreted. However, this would only mean that he will possibly have to settle for 10 lots instead of the 14 he now plans. Our big problem with supporting a vote to deny the rezoning lies with the precedent established last year in action to rezone four times as much acreage for the Lindgren-Massie subdivision. If saving farm land and preserving the agricultural industry is the issue in Goode’s rezoning, then the job should have begun then. We don’t buy the argument that the Massie-Lindgren subdivision was different because the tracts were 25 acres instead of five. The land—and more of it—was just as effectively removed from farming. It may be possible to farm 25 acres, but we’ve yet to see it done. If the impact on services is the issue with Goode’s development, that fight, too, should have begun with the Massie-Lindgren subdivision. Approximately the same number of lots were involved, as with Goode’s proposal. On the other hand, granting Goode’s rezoning would reinforce the precedent of approving development and make it harder to turn down the next one. Someone, somewhere, has to discover just how far the Virginia courts will go in allowing a community to determine its future: how it wants to grow and when it can call a halt to development in order to protect the quality of life from being irreparably damaged. We can’t believe that the courts would hold the individual Rappahannock Supervisors liable if they voted on the rezoning according to what they felt was best for the county rather than according to the hard and fast regulations set down in county ordinances. We’ve heard legal advise—both here and in Fauquier County—that holds the Supervisors are personally liable for suit on any vote not in compliance with county ordinances. But no one has ever been able to give us an instance of such personal liability actually being incurred. And until they do, we’ll go on believing that Virginia’s judges are smart enough to realize that this kind of, action would turn local government upside down. If the Supervisors voted to deny Goode’s rezoning, we think the decision would be overturned in the courts should the developer choose to appeal. However, the county could gain valuable—though expensive— information on what does constitute legal grounds for denial that would benefit future rezoning decisions. If it soulds like we’re still fence straddling, it’s because we are. We’re no closer to making up our minds on Goode’s proposal than we were two months ago. We’re glad that it is the Supervisors decision and not ours. They are in an unenviable position. Black Caucus/HEW Meeting Set By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Ernie King from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare will be in Charlottesville on August 9 to meet with school administrators and Black Caucus representatives from the Seventh Congressional District. Black Caucus vicechairman Sherman White said the meeting was requested by the caucus for the purpose of determining whether HEW guidelines on hiring and recruitment of teachers were being met. White said that Caucus members weren’t sure exactly what federal guidelines covered and so had consulted HEW officials. “They wrote them. They should know what they say...We want to know what the rules are and we want to make sure everybody is playing by the rules,” said White. The Caucus has been critical in the past of the small percentage of black professionals employed in the Rappahannock school system. At previous School Board meetings, Caucus representatives have asked for increased efforts to hire , qualified black professionals in order to provide black students with a more qualified self-image. White added that the Caucus would :like to see the percentage of minority professionals in. a 'school system reflect thepercentage of minority students enrolled in the same system. School Board members and administrators have repeatedly maintained that Rappahannock’s lack of black professionals in the county school system is directly attributable to the lack of black applicants. They have ascribed the situation in part to the scarcity of adequate housing—for blacks and whites alike—in the county. If it is determined after the August 9 meeting that HEW guidelines on minority hiring practices aren’t being met, White said his group will request school administrators in the non-complying counties to take voluntary action to correct the situation in a specified number of days. “We’re not out here to be disruptive. We’re'not grandstanding. We’re not doing this to see our names in the paper...We want to work within the system to change the system,’’ said White. “The Black Caucus plans to provide volunteer help to those counties, like Rappahannock, that have a problem in recruiting black professionals,” White continued. He stressed that the Caucus was concerned in filling only existing vacancies and with only fully qualified personnel. He added, however, “If school administrations don’t act to meet HEW'guidelines within the specified time limit, then the Black Caucus will take whatever steps are necessary to have federal funds cut off to the school system.” White said that the Caucus was attempting to hold the August 9 meeting with school administrators in a “friendly, hospitable atmosphere” and had invited Ernie King to attend in order to get expert advice. “We want the people there who made the rules to determine if the rules are being met,” he said. As to purpose, White commented, “The bottom line is results—positive results in regard to hiring black professionals.” Rappahannock Superintendent of Schools Dr. William Bloomer reported on Tuesday afternoon that he had received no notice of invitation to the August 9 meeting from the Black Caucus. “Therefore, I have no comment to make on the situation,” he added. HE LOOKS A BIT WEATHER WORN but he has done his duty this year. A scarecrow sporting a motorbike helmet has watched over the garden of Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Atkins on Route 211 west of Sperryville. Letters To The Editor What’s Wrong With Rappahannock To the editor: This will be a day late, hot t would like to answer a letter from IMA FARMER. To start with, housing is so scarce in Rappahannock County that it's almost impossible to find a place to rent or buy that one can afford. This Is due to a stupid 5 or 25 acre tract to benefit the farmers only who own large tracts that are not taxed according to the prices some of them are trying to sell for. Example: July 7 ad of 292 acres for $500,000. Is this land taxed at this rate? Same ad: 28 acres at $110,000. Is this taxed at this rate? I already know the answer is no, for most can't afford it If a few subdivisions were allowed, it seems to me the tax burden could be lightened for all. The average young person can’t afford to buy 5 or 25 acres and then build a house on the salary of this county. If a survey was taken, I would estimate that approximately 75 per cent of the young people leave the county for this very purpose. If more controlled subdivisions were allowed in the medium income class, it would increase taxes for this county, increase the help of state and federal funds for schools and improve crime protection if Mr. Davis would leave Sheriff Buntin alone so he can conduct his job for which I feel he is one of the best qualified men in this field that this county has ever had. IMA FARMER speaks of pollution and turning our streams into sewer plants. This has been happening for years in this county and would have continued had the state not put a stop to it in Sperryville, for example. Many more conditions of the same can be shown in the county that are now in existence. This is due to the poor management over building codes, septic fields, etc., of this county. Increases in population would not run the average businessman out of buisness. Good competition should help all, so that no one or two people can hold a monopoly. Most people in the county would probably welcome a McDonald’s or some type of restaurant suited for a family eating place. The lifetime people have no voice in this county for most are in the minority of the large landowners (namely several families) as to what is happening in their county. Take for instance the family Money Available For Fuel Bills Do you know someone who borrowed money to stay warm last winter? Or someone who went without food so he could heat his home? The Virginia Energy Payment Program has money available to help pay last year’s fuel bills. The Area Agency on Aging, which is administering the project in Planning District Nine, is trying to reach low-income persons of all ages in Fauquier, Orange, Culpeper, Madison and Rappahannock counties who may be eligible for these funds. To be eligible, a household must have a limited income and must have suffered financial hardships due to last winter’s cold weather. This includes families who still have unpaid bills as well as families who have financial need now as a result of having paid off their fuel bills. In all cases, however, eligibility for the program is based on having had fuel bills during last winter’s harsh weather. For those persons who are eligible, the Virginia Energy Payment Program can pay a maximum of $250 per family. The funds will be paid directly to fuel suppliers and can go toward back bills or toward future bills. Applications for the Virginia Energy Payment Program will be accepted from now until the end of August. All applications must be processed by August 31, and eligibility will be determined after that date. Persons who are determined to be eligible will be notified in September and informed about what, if any, payment arrangements have been made. The staff of the Area Agency on Aging will be available in each county at given times and places during the first three weeks of August to help people fill out applications. (See attached schedule.) Please bring the following items, if possible: 1. Any unpaid fuel bills 2. Sufficient proof of family income (wage stubs, tax return, etc.) 3. Documentation of your last winter’s bills (cancelled checks, paid bills, receipts, etc.) Applications are also available at local health and welfare departments. If you have questions, please contact one of those agencies or call the Area Agency on Aging at 825-6494. Remember, all applications must be completed before the end of August.

Wednesday, August 10, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Courthouse, Washington. • ' s ■ ' . 4 i > '■ > - • • . =■ - Rappahannock Forests Part I: Management For Objectives Lyt Wood, Rappahannock’s new forester, is a 1974 graduate from V.P.I. with a bachelor of science degree in forestry and wildlife. Prior to coming to the county, Wood worked for two years in Surry and then was transferred to Halifax on the North Carolina border for six months. He requested his present assignment covering Rappahannock and Madison Counties. “This is where. I’d like to stay,’’ Wood said. A recent survey conducted by the U. S. Forest Service has estimated the total forest area in Rappahannock County as approximately 106,500 acres. This is about 62 per cent of the land area in the county. 75,000 acres is classified as Commercial Forest—woodland which is producing or capable of producing forest products, and not set aside for other land uses (i.e. Shenandoah National Park). * These 75,000 acres are entirely under private ownership and represent a major basis for the economy of Rappahannock. The local economy is influenced by the forest land by: (1) income for the landowner from timber sales, (2) production of raw materials for forest product manufacture (veneer, lumber, posts, paper), and (3) employment of operators connected with the harvesting, transporting, and processing of wood. The economic influences are obvious, but we must also realize that the forest land also forms the basis for many other “land uses.” Aesthetics of mountain land, healthy wildlife populations, air quality, water quality, and many forms of recreation are all dependent on healthy forests. I think that it’s safe to say that most of these land uses represent interests which are common to nearly all residents of the county. Fortunately, all of these—including aesthetics—are usually compatible. In other words, a parcel of land can be successfully managed for several goals simultaneously. This concept is known as "multiple-use” management. Increasing Demand On Forests Careful management of our woodlands has become highly important. Each successive generation places a greater demand on our forests for the land uses enumerated above. Past use of the land has been abusive and degrading. Without exception, all of the forested acreage in Rappahannock has been altered by clearing, cutting, uncontrolled burning, or invasion of alien species imported by man. In most cases these events have resulted in degradation of the land, and natural processes would take several human generations to restore the forest stands to their potential productivity. I should point out here that "management” does not always mean disturbance or manipulation of the forest. My most frequent recommendation for woodlots in this area is "Leave it to grow.” What I mean by management is "Establish clear objectives for the stand, and take whatever steps are necessary to approach these goals.” What I hope to do in subsequent articles is to discuss some specific objectives and some positive means of managing the private woodlands for each objective. The most popular COUNTY FORESTER LYT WOOD measnred the dianetn at a matureyellow poplar in a' 27 inch poplar was large enough to be suitable for veneer. of these objectives in Rappahannock County are timber production, firewood production, wildlife, recreation, and aesthetics (not necessarily in that order). These are the topics that I have chosen to discuss; additional suggestions will certainly be welcomed. LYT WOOD Horse Show Scheduled The second annual Middleburg National Horse Show will be held at the Foxcroft School August 2125. The show is run in cooperation with the Middleburg Volunteer Fire Dept. The first event, in 1976, was an overwhelming success, with close to 700 horses. “We expect this year to have even more entries,” said Bradford Smith, president of the show. “And we hope that spectators and exhibitors will be delighted with some of the additional attractions this year.” For the spectators the added attraction will be the Pet-A-Pet Farm, a lama, a goat, and even an elephant will be brought to the showgrqunds. Luncheon will be available at the show but spectators are welcome to bring a picnic. There is ample space on the plush grounds. A total of $20,000 in prize money and trophies is at stake during the five days. This includes the exciting Preliminary and Intermediate Jumper Divisions every day. In addition, there will be the $1000 Pony Hunter Classic on Tuesday, August 22. On the final afternoon, Thursday, August 25, the $1000 Junior-Amateur Classic and the $1000 Middleburg National Hunter Chunk will take place. Foxcroft School Showgrounds are located on Route 626 just 3.8 miles from the center of town. Admission is $1 for adults and 50 cents for children under 12.. . that was left their homeplace and had to take ft to court to obtain possession due to a 5 acre subdivision law. Look at what is happening to our county. Young people are leaving, only city people are buying most of the land in the county for weekend homes. No industries or sources of employment are allowed to build in the county. These are just a few of the things that I have listed that are at fault in the county. This is the reason 1 moved from this county. Many would be in better shape if “THE BUCK STOPS HERE” were applied in county government and take a new broom to clean out the court house and start anew. CONCERNED, BUT CAN’T AFFORD Rain Statistics Reported To the editor: I though you might want to include figures from the northern end of the county in your final report on July rainfall, since we are so different from the official station at Washington. Here along the Rappahannock River between the Kennels and Huntly, our nun gauge showed 11.06” for the month of July. Of that, 8.75” fell between 12:10 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. on July 11. BOB DENNIS Flint Springs Farm Amissville Study Proposed (Continued from Page 1) Richard McNear noted that it might be advisable for the commissioners to consider hiring outside help for data analysis. “That’s where we’re going to get into touchy areas,’’ he said. "A data management-systems analyst kind of guy is what we need.” ^ Jones said that at least six months would be required for an adequate study using the services of one PD 9 staffer. He reported that he hadn’t discussed any details of a joint project with the Orange Commonwealth’s Attorney’s office and so didn’t know exactly what Orange would supply. He added that the Commission could possibly obtain an additional grant from DJCP since that organization was most interested in the comprehensive study proposal. “It’s never been done in the state before,” Jones continued. “I think DJCP will supply either money or manpower help for the project.” Jones Resigns Following Jones’ report, Commission Chairman Pete Luke announced the Criminal Justice Planner’s resignation from the PD 9 staff to assume a position with the Virginia Association of Sheriffs. The commissioners unanimously authorized a letter of resolution awarding the highest praise and thanks to Jones for his work in the planning district. "If we have any money, I’d like to see him get a plaque,” Commissioner McNear added to the resolution. "I hope we can get someone half as good to replace him,” McNear concluded. Dove Season Set During a recent public meeting of the ten-member Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries., which was held at the Hotel Roanoke, July 22, 1977, in that city, the body set the hunting season dates for both dove and rail. The 1977 opening date for hunting dove in the Commonwealth is September 10, 1977 with the closing date set for November 5, 1977. The second part of the split dove season opens on December 21, 1977 and concludes on January 2,1978. September 10,1977 was set as the opening date for rail hunting and November 18, 1977 as the closing date. ++++ That old saying about rats leaving a sinking ship is probably based on fact. Not motivated by prophetic powers, the rats leave because their homes in the bilges flood first, driving them to safety.

Fanners are the primary people eligible for relief. The one special provision available to them is in the area of the sale of livestock.

A helpful IRS booklet, Publication 225, “Farmer’s Tax Guide,’’ is available free from IRS offices. Food Stamp Rules Change Food Stamps will soon be free to eligible persons due to Congressional action, but until such time. United States Department of Agriculture regulations mandate that some persons who receive increases in Railroad Retirement, Social Security or Supplemental Security Income benefits will have to pay more for their Food Stamps. Beginning August 1, many Social Security and Supplemental Security Income recipients will experience the higher Food Stamp costs. Railroad Retirement recipients, however, will not have to pay more until the month following the receipt of the increased Railroad Retirement checks. Eligibility for the Food Stamp Program is determined on the basis of resources and total income available to the household. Railroad Retirement, Social Security and Supplemental Security Income benefits are all considered income. As a result, increases in these monthly benefits could result in an increase in the amount some people pay for their food stamps or total ineligibility. For example, a person living alone who has been getting a Social Security check in the amount of $125 has been paying $24 for $52 worth of Food Stamps. Beginning August 1, with his income increased to $135, that person must pay $27 for $52 in coupons. In June, 1977, 227,931 persons participated in Virginia’s Food Stamp Program. Of these, 99,865 were public assistance recipients while the remaining 128,066 were nonpublic assistance, low income persons.

Drought Conference Set The worst dry spell to hit Virginia in decades has prompted the Virginia Bankers Association to cosponsor, with the Virginia Agriculture Credit Committee, a Special Agriculture Conference on Drought, to bring together all agriculture lenders to review the various programs that can be of assistance to their farm and rural customers affected by the drought. The meeting will be held August 4 at the Ingleside Inn just north of Staunton. Lending agencies represented will be banks, the Farmers Home Administration, Small Business Administration, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, and the Production Credit Association. Speakers will include A. Lee Mitchell, Chief of Farmers Programs, FHA; Douglas L. Flory, Rockingham National Bank, Harrisonburg; Cecil G. Lumsden, Chief, Portfolio Management Division, SBA; and Robert K. Reynolds and James M. Moore, Extension Specialists-Farm Management, VPI & SU. Each speaker will discuss drought credit assistance available through his respective agency. Mr. William H. Jefferson, Jr., VBA President, underscoring the need for the conference stated, “The magnitude of this drought impels bankers and agricultural agencies to be prepared to implement the special programs resulting from recognition at the State and Federal level of severe weather-inflicted problems. At present 56 counties and 23 cities are eligible for special financial aid.” Tennis Tournament Set The Fauquier County Tennis Championships to be held at the Chestnut Forks Tennis Club, August 14 through 29, will be open to tennis enthusiasts who live or work in Rappahannock, Culpeper and Fauquier counties. The tournament will feature men and women’s singles and men, women’s mixed doubles. Entry fees are $6 per single and $12 per double team with all proceeds going to the Warrenton Rescue Squad. Entry deadline is August 10. The tournament is co sponsored by the Peoples National Bank of Warrenton and the Warrenton CocaCola Bottling Company.
