The County Family Newspaper Founded 1877 28th Year, No. 49 12 Pages THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27,1977 Washington, Virginia .!*£.Jt!0 *Phone 675-3349 /5 Planners Begin Ordinance Study By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH Arundel Newspaper Writer The Rappahannock Planners began a state mandated review of the county’s zoning and subdivision ordinance; at Tuesday’s Commission meeting. Sections on family graveyards and seasonal roadside stands received the most attention, each evoking about a half, hour of discussion. Planner Newbill Miller defended the Commission’s attention to seemingly minor issues. “These are the things we’d better be clear on because these are the things that are going to be controversial,” he maintained. Before the Commission |began the paragraph by paragraph review of the zoning ordinance, Planner Pete Luke suggested that consideration of parts of the ordinance be delayed until after work progresses on the county’s Comprehensive Plan, required by 1980. "There are certain things that can be revised whether we have or don’t have a Plan...Some things need a Plan as a framework...Otherwise, we’re going to be out of step,” Luke said. Chairman Herbert Barksdale noted that he’d appointed Miller to head a committee of Luke and Planners George Muth and Walter Masterson charged with studying Comprehensive Plans prepared by other localities and bringing recommendations back to the Commission. This committee, interjected Miller, wouldn’t be able to devote full attention to the job until after January. There are questions that can’t be answered without a Plan, said Luke, “Are we dividing too much of the county into 25 acre lots?” he asked, as an example. “We’ll make the Plan as we go along” In the review of the county ordinances, Barksdale responded. Public Input Necessary “That’s where I think we’re going to come a cropper,” countered Luke. He maintained that Rap“1Fall Behind” Reminder Standard Time returns Sunday at 2 ajn., and all who wish to avoid bring an hour ahead of everyone else should turn clocks and watches back an hour, say late Saturday night. pahannock should follow procedures adherred to in other localities with alter* natives on the county’s future brought before audiences in villages and communities. “We need some framework, some feeling from the public on which direction we want to go in,’’ Luke said. Miller reminded the Commissioners that they had to complete work within a tight time span with the ordinance review required by 1979. “Suppose we don’t have it (the review) done by January?” asked Luke. “As H. B. Wood tells me at Supervisor meetings, who’s going to do anything about it?” Miller suggested that, in their review, the Planners pass over sections of the zoning and subdivision ordinances that obviously apply to Comprehensive Plans and come back to those sections later after work on the county’s Plan is underway. The Commission agreed to go along with his proposal. Barksdale noted that the ordinance review had been scheduled to begin at the previous Commission meeting. “If we don’t get started on it, we’re never going to get anywhere with it,” he commented. The Planners moved quickly through the zoning ordinance’s statement of (Continued on Page 11) —Rappahannock News Photo/Sarah Latham IN TYPICAL COUNTY FASHION, the Farm Bureau members of Rappahannock have always said that “our children are our most important crop”. Following this up when they heard the local youngsters were in need of a track, they came forward in their customary, generous way and contributed a thousand dollars to the track fund. Farm Bureau president Ian Pryde presented track, fund PAL treasurer C. E. Johnson, Jr. with a check for S1000 Monday morning. Citizens’ Group Concerned About School Electors Concerned about the membership on the School Trustee Elector Board, Rappahannock Citizens for Better Education decided at a meeting Monday night to talk to Judge Raynor V. Snead before the School Electors’ terms expire in June. Snead will then either reappoint the same three men—George Muth, C. E. Johnson Jr. and John S. Browning—or new individuals who will have the authority of appointing members to the Rappahannock School Board. There may be “problems if we continue with the same make-up,’’ said Rev. Ron Wiley, president of the Rappahannock Citizens for Better Education. “Maybe it would be well if they were replaced.” Wiley suggested that now was the time for members of the educational group and other concerned citizens to talk to Judge Snead, not with the aim of putting pressure on the Judge but rather to inform him of how people in the county felt. Wiley informed the group that in the 1979 elections it would be possible to change the method of appointing School Board members through a local referendum. By referendum, county citizens could opt to have the School Board appointed by the Board of Supervisors rather than the Electoral Trustees. “There is a feeling that the Supervisors would be more responsive to the people,” he said. “There is no way anyone can bring to bear influence on the Electors...if they do not want to be responsible to the people,” maintained Wiley. However, he noted that allowing the Supervisors the authority to appoint the School Board “places a great deal of authority in the hands of five people.” Wiley added that a lot of citizens felt that the Supervisors also were not “really responsible to the people” and voted “pretty much the way they want to.” Returning to the appointment of School Trustee Electors, he said that the educational group had two options. Either the group could suggest two or three people to Snead as possible candidates or members of the group could speak with the Judge as individuals. Wiley added that he favored the second alternative.

Rippdwnock N«n SuTHKlI^J Rappahannock Welfare Board members, faced with a $3,400 budget shortage, ducked a decision on possible solutions to their financial dilemma at last Friday’s meeting, forwarding the problem directly to the Board of Supervisors. At issue is an optional companion and chore services program involving $2,000 in local revenue. Of the Welfare budget shortfall, $1,400 involves mandatory assistance programs and administration costs. As these programs are required by state law, the Board of Supervisors appear to have no choice but to fiind them through an additional appropriation to cover Rappahannock’s local share of costs. However, companion services is not mandatory. The Welfare Board could elect to discontinue the program or the Supervisors could refuse to appropriate the necessary $2,000 local matching funds. Before asking the Welfare Board members for a decision on whether they wanted to continue offering compahion services as an optional program, Public Assistance director Elizabeth Buntin presented information on the funding status of all the components in the welfare budget. She concluded that it wasn’t feasible to transfer funds from another category to cover the existing shortages—at least not this early in the fiscal year. Judging from expenditures in the first quarter of fiscal year 1977, Mrs. Buntin noted that allocations for the blind, aged and disabled “might not stretch” through the year. She said that resolution of two pending cases may use up the local match in the aged category but added that money could be transferred within the three categories since all had the same ratio WAVA Is Sold Arthur W. Arundel, owner and publisher of The Fauquier Democrat, has decided to sell Arlington radio station WAVA to “move on to a change of scenery in journalism and public affairs.” Starting in 1961, Arundel and WAVA pioneered the development of the all-news radio format and on-the-air editorials. The independent news station has served as a launching pad for many network and wire service correspondents. A former CBS news and UPI correspondent, Arundel bought the station in 1961 as a country music operation, then called WARL, and launched the All News idea. WAVA-FM is now the only FM station here or anywhere else in the United States broadcasting all news all the time. Two other Washington stations, WRC-AM and WTOP-AM, now carry fulltime news, as do AM stations in most of the country’s other major cities. The two corporate groups which have separately bought the two WAVA stations plan soon to change the format of WAVA-FM to contemporary music and WAVA-AM to a religious format, according to papers they have filed with the Federal Communications Commission. Mr. Arundel also owns The Reston Times, The Rappahannock News and the Loudoun Times-Mirror. of federal, state and local match. ADC Estimate Low In the category of Aid to Dependent Children (ADC), Mrs. Buntin acknowledged that she had “really goofed” on her estimate of expenditures. Already, $2,491.76 has been spent out of the $3,000 federal and state appropriation that was intended to cover the entire year. No local funds are involved in ADC, she noted. “I will ask the state for more,” she said. “I assume they have to give it to us...I don’t think we have to worry about ADC. If a family is eligible, the state simply has to come up with the money.” She reported that ADC foster care had an ample allocation with only $3,467 spent from $24,568. But there is no local money involved in ADC foster care “so that won’t help us,” said Mrs. Buntin, since the extra funds cannot be transferred. The only budget category with a possible excess of transferable funds is the foster care program operated separately from ADC foster care according to Mrs. Buntin. “It’s hard to know if we’re going to have a surplus in this fund or not because we never know when the court will order us to place a child in foster care,” she said. The Welfare Department is currently working on a foster care case, she continued. There are several options open that would require a major portion of the $20,220 fiscal year 1977 appropriation. “That’s why we can’t be tied down to a tight allocation because there are so many ways to go,” she commented. "There may be money that can be transferred out of foster care but we won’t know until later in the year.” Mrs. Buntin reported that the county’s general relief program was also “under expended” to date but advised against taking money from there “at this point.” “It’s not winter yet,” agreed social work Ellen Mustoe. Local Share “In The Red” The local share of man datory purchased services programs that include work incentive and Title XX day care and foster care services are “in the red,” according to Mrs. Buntin. The programs have been in operation for three months but “we don’t have it (Rappahannock’s local match of $826) in the budget... We’re spending money that we don’t have,” she said. In the optional companion services program for the first three months of fiscal year 1977, the Welfare Department has spent $1,905.60 with $381.12 in local funds, according to Mrs. Buntin's figures. “Again, that’s money we don’t have,” she said. “Even if the Welfare Board decided to abandon companion services,” continued Mrs. Buntin, “the Supervisors would still have to appropriate $381.12 plus the costs of operating the program through for October.” Welfare Board Chairman Dick Latham asked how much local money was cut from the original public (Continued on Page 3) Rappahannock Lady Cagers Racking Up Victories Rappahannock High’s lady cagers have gained momentum and are pressing opponents for repeated victories.

Prior to this the Varsity downed Montevideo , hfTn,d.the JV’s topped Elkton. In Tuesday’s game the Varsity came out pressing man-to-man, shaking up the opponents in the beginning. Final score stood at 52-36 in favor of Rappahannock. The team took an early lead with seven players scoring smoothly and continued their drive to the finish. Excellent rebounding contributed to the victory. Pantherettes scoring included Jamelle Prudhum, Chris Nicholson, Rhonda Estes, Jackie Myers, Sandy Hudson, Eleanor Phillips and Janice Aylor. In the JV game the score zigzagged back and forth with Rappahannock leading 2 points at the quarter and a tied 9 to 9 score at the half. Rappahannock gained a six point lead at the end of the third quarter and concluded the contest with a 2 point win; a 19-17 final score. The final score for the Montevideo game was 54-48 favoring the locals, and Jamelle Prudhum was high scofer with 21 followed by Eleanor Phillips and Rhonda Estes with 16 and 9. respectively. In the pressing defensive action by Rappahannock, the opponents turned the ball over 21 times crediting the local team with 10 steals. Rebounding advantage for Rappahannock was 45-26. However, Montevideo took the lead at the end of the first quarter only to lose it to Rappahannock at the half. Montevideo went ahead by two points in the third but Rappahannock regained control for a final 64-48 score. In an aggressive contest last week the local JV’s topped Elkton for a 34-21 victory. Judy Lynn was high scorer with 17 points followed by Rhonda Brown with 8. The Rappahannock girls had a 6-4 opening quarter and pulled ahead at the half. Each team scored nine points in the third quarter and Rappahannock completely outscored Elkton in the last quarter for the final 34-21 score. Others on the JV team playing were Denise Wingfield.

Wolf’s Reputation Unearned little Red Riding Hood had nothing to worry about The big, bad wolfs storied reputation as a ferocious people eater is completely undeserved. Not one case of healthy wolves attacking people has been recorded in North America. Old accounts of marauding “beasts” in Europe—probably embellished by legend—are now interpreted as attacks by rabid wolves or wolf-dog hybrids. Deserves Positive Image “The wolf as scientists know it is quite different from the public’s image of the creature as a heinous super killer,” says Dr. L. David Mech. A biologist with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service and one of the world’s leading authorities on wolves, Dr. Mech reveals his latest findings on the animals in the October National Geographic. A wolf is probably best known for its howling. “It is this eerie howling that has probably inspired the tales that have arisen about the wolf,” writes Dr. Mech. “The animal is thought capable of choosing any prey and running it down with impunity. “Its weight, usually 60 to 120 pounds, is often grossly exaggerated, and so is the size of its packs, rarely more than twenty members and usually fewer than ten.” In a natural population of wolves, where man has not interfered, all the available space is taken up by packs. Each occupies a territory of its own, overlapping little with neighboring packs, except possibly on the tundra. There, during much of the year, the need for migration seems to result in greater tolerance among groups. “Exclusive spacing of pack territories may be maintained by howling and by scent marking—a ritualistic Itappaliamuick 5Ccuu?

I li )M COMPANY tfMMGTOH, VUMMA 22724 “ MONK 439-3S4I practice,” reports Dr. Mech. ‘‘Whatever the means of marking territories, lone wolves are left with no real areas of their own, and most are doomed to a nomadic life of trying to avoid packs.” Strict Nipping Order In a simple pack with a pair of adults and their pups, the social hierarchy is a linear one. But some packs may contain as many as 36 members, including several adults. In such cases both a male and a female social ladder develops. The malp leader, however, guides thl initiates attacks against1 trespassers. Peripheral animals or social outcasts occupy the lowest rung of wolf society. Most large packs have at least one poor “scapewolf” on whom the others take out their frustrations. The unlucky creature is subject to sudden attacks and may have to depend on leftovers to survive. In the author’s opinion, such an arrangement is beneficial to the survival of the pack. Instead of all members suffering malnutrition during a shortage of prey such as caribou or moose, or because of over-population in the pack, the bottom members go on short rations, leaving the dominant individuals in good health. Lone wolves may be the losers from the bottom of the pack driven to solitude when the food supply gets low and life becomes so grim there really is no alternative. Another factor in the making of loners might be aggressiveness. When offspring mature at the age of two or three years, they may not be able to endure the discipline of the dominant animals. Instead of lingering in the shadow of their parents and being subordinated, they may just strike out on their own. Loners do worst when wolves are least molested by man and the packs grow large. Then they are allowed no area of their own to hunt, thus weakening the loners and making them easy victims when they trespass on a pack’s territory. The loners are extras in a saturated population and are expendable. Man Elevates Loners But where wolves are exploited by man, or perhaps where some natural disaster such as rabies or distemper wipes out part of the population, lone wolves suddenly play an important role. By wandering endlessly, they eventually locate any unoccupied area, and if they find a loner of the opposite sex there, they may mate, settle, and form their own pack. There’s less and less opportunity to form packs these days. Once ranging over most of North America, the gray wolf, Canis lupus, has been almost eliminated in the contiguous United States. There are perhaps 30 on Isle Royale in Michigan, but the 1,200 in Minnesota remain the only sizeable group. Estimates for Canada range from 17,000 to 28,000; Alaska may harbor as many as 15,000. activities of the pack It's Not Too Early to Think about CHRISTMAS Apply your Christmas Savings Club Check to your 3?

TRUE OR FALSE? 1. Bicyclists are subject to the same traffic laws as motorists. 2. In most accidents involving a bicyclist and a motorist, the bicyclist is at falut. 3. It is unlawful for any Virginian over the age of 15 to ride a bicycle on a sidewalk. 4. No Virginia bicyclists are required to have licenses displayed on their bicycles. 5. The majority of fatalities resulting from bicycle accidents are children between the ages of five and 14. ANSWERS 1. True. In Virginia, bicyclists must obey all traffic signs and signals, yield the right of way to pedestrians, signal their intention to turn and, generally, follow all the other traffic laws that are applicable to the drivers of automobiles and other motor vehicles. Like motorists, bicyclists are required to use the right side of the roadway, riding with traffic, rather than against it. Between sunset and sunrise, bicyclists must use headlights that are visible in clear weather for at least 500 feet and a red reflector or tail light that is visible for at least 300 feet. 2. True. Statistics prepared by the National Safety Council indicate that in seven out of 10 cases where there are accidents involving a bicyclist and a motorist, the bicyclist is at fault. It’s probably safe to say that one of the primary reasons for this fact is that many bicyclists fail to obey the very same rules of the road that they would obey if driving a car. X^True. The Code of Virgurfa makes it a misdemeanor (with a fine of $5 to $25) for any bicyclist or motorcyclist to ride on the sidewalk of any town or city if he is 15 years old or over. Children under 15 years of age are permitted to ride on the sidewalk only in cities where the governing body has Building? •Paint •Lumber J •MiHwork i •Hardware' Complete One-Step BUILDING SUPPLY Warrenton Bulding Material Co, Inc. on the By-Pass Warrenton 347-1400 specifically authorized it. By law, only cities having a population of more than 300,000 have the option of allowing youngsters to ride on the sidewalk. 4. False. Some Virginia communities do require bicycle owners to purchase and display a license on their bikes. To make sure of the regulations in your community, you should check with the local police department. 5. True. The National Safety Council reports that there were 850 fatalities in 1971 resulting from bicycle accidents. Of those, 500 were children between the ages of five and 14. The next greatest fatality rate was for the 15-to24 year age group. It is also significant to note that nearly half of all bicycle accidents occur during the school vacation months of June, July and August.

Welfare (Continued from Page 1) assistance budget presented to the Supervisors. Almost $20,000 Cut Mrs. Buntin answered that her department’s original request of $39,971 for purchased services was reduced by the Supervisors to $20,000 comprised of state, federal and local money. She explained that it would be “terribly complicated” to determine the exact amount of local funds cut since local rates of participation in the different purchased service categories varied from five per cent to 25 per cent. She added that the matter was further clouded by the inclusion of donated funds on the revenue side of the county budget. “The welfare budget is different from others because there is no way of accurately forecasting expenditures,” Mrs. Buntin commented. “You just have to have it (the money) there.” She told the Board members that they faced a difficult decision. Continuing the optional companion services program would mean asking the Supervisors for $2,000 over the amount necessary to cover shortages in mandatory programs, she noted. Companion Services More Cost Efficient Board members Carter White and Aline Johnson pointed out that the purpose of the companion services program, aimed at keeping people in their homes and communities instead of institutions, was to save taxpayers’ money. Mrs. Buntin agreed that money was saved by keeping elderly people with low incomes out of nursing homes. She noted that institutional care was funded through Medicaid, not local tax dollars. Mrs. Johnson suggested that funds be transferred from foster care and “then see how things go.” This was a possible solution, commented Food Stamp worker Nancy Reeve but added that foster care could run short as a result. She said that foster care may appear now to be over funded but maintained that it was an expensive program with costs that could sky rocket overnight. “What do you think is going to happen if we ask the Supervisors for it?—the additional funds to cover all shortages including money for companion services,” asked Aline Johnson. Latham advised presenting the whole problem to the Board. “There’s not much sense in our making a decision. It’s not going to amount to anything unless the money’s forthcoming.” Welfare Eligibility worker Juanita Miko stated that she was more in favor of retaining companion services than several other programs offered by the Welfare Department. The only problem is that the other programs are mandated by the state while companion services is not, she noted. “It would be a shame to give it up,” Mrs. Miko concluded. Citizens (Continued from Page 1) Better Education would like to see appointed as a School Elector is “an objective person who will be fair and honest in appointing School Board members without the idea of obtaining a certain amount of influence for one or a few people in our county,” said Wiley. “We’re not trying to gain political power,” he continued. “Our primary interest is the good of the schools.” Liz Scherschell, vicepresident of the group, added that Rappahannock Citizens for Better Education did not want to be considered a "political clique” and members had to be extremely careful not to create that impression. Mrs. Mary Botts Quaintance asked if there would be time to prepare for a referendum on the method of appointing School Board members should Judge Snead’s appointments to the Electoral Board prove unsatisfactory. Wiley replied that the Judge had until the end of June to act on electoral appointments while the referendum wouldn’t be held until November. Rev. Jennings Hobson maintained that changing the method of School Board selection to appointment by the Supervisors would be “asking for trouble” since the Supervisors’ prime responsibility is county finances. Mrs. Sherschell noted that there may be a third alternative—that of direct election of School Board members. However, this method would only be available as a local option if the General Assembly changes state law. She also said that the law provides for as many as two ‘‘at large” School Board members. The decision of School Board size rests with the Electoral Trustees, according to Mrs. Quaintance. She told the group that the Supervisors could recommend that membership be enlarged and authorize the action but it was not binding on the Electoral Trustees. The Supervisors have already set School Board membership at five and passed a motion to that effect at the last meeting, said Hobson. “1 think public input could very readily change their minds,” responded Mrs. Sherschell. “It would have to be a lot of public input, I believe,” Hobson countered. “If we still have the same Electoral Board appointing School Board members, we might be in worse shape than we are now” should School Board membership be expanded to include one or more “at large” members, commented Wiley. The School Board was operating satisfactorily now and “if things are functioning well, I don’t want to be a pest,” he said. Wiley informed the group that School Board member Walter Masterson’s term expired in June. “I do not like to deal in personalities,” said Wiley, "but I’ve gained considerable feeling..hhat the people in his area do not appreciate him as their School Board member...It might be well to work at finding out how the people feel...expressed by petition or something,” he suggested. Returning to the issue of Electoral Board appointments, Mrs. Sherschell maintained it was necessary to let Snead know that “there really are a lot of us with strong feelings” on the make-up of the Electoral Board. She added that it was going to be important to counter balance pressure that the Judge would receive from other factions. Mrs. Quaintance advised people from each area of the county to approach the Judge with candidates. She told the group that she had recently talked with Snead and suggested a name for his consideration as an Electoral Board appointment.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27,1977 Howell Over the years, Henry Howell has often seemed a lonely man struggling against conventional ways for what he felt best for Virginia. Strangely enough, history has proven that he was generally foresighted and right. And today he is the right man at the right time to be elected Virginia’s Governor. The essential reason for Henry Howell’s election is the need for a specific shakeup in the established order of Virginia’s politics. We are and will remain highly fortunate to have in the existing Virginia balance of power both Senator Harry F. Byrd, Jr., in Washington and a strong conservative legislature in Richmond. But a healthy system of checks and balances in this triangle calls for change now to an “outsider” such as Mr. Howell in the Governorship. Republican John Dalton is a first rate person. His time for Governor is not now. Long before it became fashionable, Mr. Howell was talking about human rights. He fought a lonely battle in the General Assembly to insure that all of Virginia’s children, black and white, received an equal education. He has fought to assure that every citizen of the state had the opportunity to vote. He has fought excessive electric and phone rate increases in the interests of Virginia consumers. But his commitment to a major shift of government authority from the state to local jurisdictions is Mr. Howell’s most important position in this .election, and most distinguishes him from his Republican opponent, John H. Dalton. This shift is something that Rappahannock county needs. Our Board of Supervisors should be relieved of many of the restrictions that our state laws place against them. Mr. Howell correctly points out that Virginia state government demands that localities accept responsibility for many programs, but has given them no authority over them. Localities must now go to Richmond begging for authority to enact legislation that will only affect their area. Mr. Dalton, on the other hand, said in a recent interview with this newspaper that he is against home rule for localities, opposed to granting us the authority to enact certain local taxes which would take the burden of running local government off the backs of the property owners. Asked how he would solve the financial problems of local government, Mr. Dalton said local elected officials should cut back on government. What he fails to understand, and what Mr. Howell seems quite aware of, is that much of the growth of local government has been created because of mandated programs handed down from the federal and state levels forcing local officials to raise already high property taxes. Mr. Howell believes that the best government is the government closest to the people. Sadly Mr. Dalton like Gov. Godwin believes otherwise, which is one reason the established order now needs change. Virginians can rightly be concerned about Mr. Howell on only one issue, his ties with the “big boys” of big labor and the potential for his changing his specific present opposition to authorizing unions for state employees and to repeal of Virginia’s right to work law. Mr. Howell has fought “big business” in Virginia. We should correctly expect him as well not to be the captive of “big labor.” Regardless, we can be confident that the General Assembly during the next four years will hold any such initiative in check. Because of his sensitivity to working people and local government, we feel that Henry Howell should be elected Governor on Nov. 8. He is unconventional, but it is time for unconventional leadership in the Governor’s office. Robb Charles S. Robb is a fresh new face to Old Dominion voters, but he has shown in a long hard campaign for Lieutenant Governor that he’ possesses the essential qualities of conviction and leadership to serve, if necessary, as Governor. He would bring to the office of the Lieutenant Governor a certain vitality and energy which will be needed regardless of whether Mr. Howell or Mr. Dalton becomes Governor for the next four years. Mr. Robb is committed to, and would be an outstanding representative in seeking new industrial development for areas of the state for which it is planned. He has pledged to become an “ombudsman” toward bringing better and closer relations between state and county government, a very badly needed thing just now. While die office Mr. Robb seeks is largely ceremonial, this former officer will give the top level of Virginia government vigor and stability in relations between the legislature, local government and the Governor. Chuck Robb should be elected our Lieutenant Governor. He is destined to become not only a familiar face in Richmond, but his star will rise far beyond that in years to come. It has been a long time since Virginia, the “Mother of Presidents”, has produced a man bearing the qualities for that office. One step at a time, but Mr. Robb is marked for it. Coleman Open Letter Tc Supervisors We have recently been informed by the Planning Commission that the Board of Supervisors requested them to outline the limits of the village of Amissville and to rezone the area within those limits from A-l (Agricultural) to RB-1 (Residential-Business) as are the villages of Woodville, Flint Hill, and Sperryville. WHY?? May we bring to your attention that those villages now zoned RB-1 have been for many years, and before any zoning ordinance, platted and laid off in rather small, compact groups of lots, easily defined and containing little or no agricultural land within those limits. Amissville has 13 businesses all along approximately l‘/a miles of Hwy. 211 and if an RB-1 district is to be laid out and called the village of Amissville, then all of these, in our opinion should be included. The present proposal, as we understand it, includes only 5 homes and a service garage on the north side of Hwy. 211 and all are west of the intersection with Rte. 642. On the south side of Hwy. 211 and on Rte. 642 it includes the P. O., Grocery store, 11 homes, and 2 churches with their cemeteries. That, to us, does not in any way represent the village of Amissville, nor does it constitute a proper RB-1 zone. Respectfully, Interested Citizens Luther B. Stuart E. G. Hackley Elmer T.

Five separate questions will be on the ballot with space for a “yes” or “no” answer for each question. Each question seeks funding for construction or renovation of certain state facilities. Before the state may borrow money for such capital projects, the Virginia Constitution requires that the debt be approved by a majority of those voting on the questions. A majority vote on each question Nov. 8 determines whether or not the state may borrow $86,475,000 for educational institutions; $21,525,000 for correctional facilities; $4,000,000 for mental health facilities; $5,000,000 for park and recreational facilities; and $8,000,000 for port facilities. TTie five bond issues were approved by the 1977 session of the Virginia General Assembly. The VirginiaConstitutionlimits the state’s total debt, as well as the amount that can be borrowed at any one time, by a formula based on income and retail sales taxes. The state could currently borrow a maximum of $294 million. Virginia’s present debt is about $41 million, which is the amount still due on the $81 million bond issue approved in 1968 to construct institutions for mental health services and higher education. Voters have not considered a statewide bond issue since 1968. Interest on general obligation bonds sold by a state is exempt at present from income taxes of both the federal government and the issuing state. The issuing government guarantees a general obligation bond, with money for interest and eventual repayment coming from general fond revenues. The 20 educational institutions which would receive funds for construction, renovation and conversion of facilities are Virginia Tech, The College of new site on the outskirts of the city if the bond issue on mental health facilities is approved. Also, money would finance two regional centers for the mentally retarded, particularly children, in the Winchester-Harrisonburg area and in the Fredericksburg area. State park and recreational facilities to be further developed if that bond issue passes gre located in 26 counties and one city throughout the state, including Sky Meadows State Park in Fauquier and Clarke counties. If the bond issue for port facilities receives a “yes” majority vote, Norfolk International Terminal, Portsmouth Marine Terminal, and Newport News Marine Terminal would be expanded. For further information about the 1977 bond issues, the League of Women Voters of Virginia has prepared nonpartisan materials.

We are now able to add a $200 contribution to the Panther Athletic League to go with the $300 initially pledged by our club to help with the construction of a running track at the high school. Also we have funded a $400 scholarship for the representative of Rappahannock County to participate in the Lions International Youth Exchange program and spend a month in Europe next summer with a Lions family. The remaining amount of $164.15 from total profits of $1064.15 has been reserved by our Board of Directors exclusively to support activities for the youth of our county. As always, we are most grateful to the Rappahannock News and the members of your outstanding resident staff, Sarah Latham, Daphne McCullough and Mauri Payne, for your willing cooperation and sterling support. Your assistance, as again demonstrated in this Auction, is vital to our continuing program of community service. The Rappahannock Lions desire to publicly acknowledge their gratitude to John Walker Jenkins and his employees for the donation of their expert services in arranging and conducting the auction. The use of John Walker’s facility and all services were donated to our club without recompense or commission of any kind and have enabled us to make the total proceeds available to help the youth of Rappahannock. It is impossible to single out the many citizens who also made significant contributions by donating their property or participating in the sale. To each of you, our profound thanks for your support. You have helped us to realize some of the objectives of Lionism for community involvement and to give meaning to our slogan for this Lions year — “LIONS — PEOPLE CARING FOR PEOPLE”. PHILIP W. BUTTEN President Washington Richmond Sinfonia Community Concert Appearing at the Culpeper ' County High School at 8 p.m. on the night of November 3 will be the Richmond Sinfonia, as the first offering of the 1977-78 Culpeper Community Concert Association. The Sinfonia, under the musical direction of French conductor Jacques Houtm&nn, is the only folly professional full-time orchestra in Virginia. Comprised of outstanding musicians from conservatories and orchestras across the country, the Sinfonia is a “tightly knit, well disciplined ensemble, flexible in techniques and musicianship, and responsive ' to the interpretative aims of its conductor" (Richmond News-Leader). Performing as an ensemble since 1973, the Sinfonia is one of less than ten such groups of this type in the United States and has been hailed as a bold new development in the music world. The ensemble forms the nucleus of the Richmond Symphony, one of the country’s regional orchestras. The Sinfonia has presented concerts in all geographical areas of Virginia. Annually they perform for over 16,000 school children and thousands of additional Virginians at concerts sponsored by colleges, music clubs and other organizations throughout the state. It also specializes in "inschool” concerts structured at various age levels to give students a broader understanding of "classical” musk. Teenage Drinking Increases Teenage drinking has been around a long time, but today it is on the increase. A great many teens do drink—and many of them drink too much, according to Dr. A. Mort Casson, assistant commissioner for substance abuse, Virginia Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation. Virginia is observing October as Teen Alcohol Awareness Month, in recognition of the many problems of teenage drinking. Governor Mills E. Godwin, Jr., in calling the attention of Virginians to this observance, expressed his own concern for the situation. A recent survey by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism found that among seventh graders, 63 percent of boys and 54 percent of girls had tried alcohol. By twelfth grade level, the number had increased to 93 percent of boys and 87 percent of girls. Although marijuana is still very much a part of the scene for young people, alcohol outranks marijuana as the number one Virginia high school drug problem, according to the State Department of Education. The U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, in a youth survey, found that almost one out of four teens reported having been drunk four or more times during the previous year. This figure was three to four times that for drinkers of all ages. Dr. Casson feels that many persons, both adult and teen, have a number of mistaken ideas about alcohol. "If we identify a certain whiskey with the 'good life’ ”, he says, "these types of values enhance the desirability of social drinking. "We are kidding ourselves,” he adds, "if we think we can separate values for young people and adults. As long as there is social prestige associated with drinking, we will have people with drinking problems," Dr. Casson said. Many teens and adults alike have mistaken ideas about alcohol, Dr. Casson said. Alcohol is sometimes thought of as a stimulant while it actually is a depressant. Often a person drinking becomes talkative and outgoing. This “high” however, is the result of alcohol reducing the brain’s control over the person’s behavior. If enough is taken, Dr. Casson added, drowsiness, sleep, or even death can result. Teenagers drink for a number of reasons. Some take a drink at a social gathering to feel comfortable among others. Others yield to pressure from friends so as not to appear “sissy.” And still another factor is that people grow up as they are taught, and sometimes the example is not of the best, Dr. Casson said. People today have not learned to experience and cope with stress, and instead retreat from it in one way or another, he said. Dr. Casson noted that the Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation has Local Alcoholism Services offices throughout Virginia to help people of all ages with drinking problems. Church Trip Hopewell Baptist Church of Sperryville will sponsor a bus trip to St. Luke Baptist Church in Washington, D. C. on Nov. 13 where the Rev. Harvey Lewis is pastor. The bus will leave Hopewell at 12:30 p.m. and the cost per person will be $5.00. For further information, call Rachel Aylor, 987-8118 after 4:30 p.m., David Brown, 987-8317, or C. C.

It has been said that one of the biggest problems of the Republican Party has been a lack of good candidates for office. It seems to us that in one instance, the GOP may have a good candidate. We refer to the Republican for Attorney General, J. Marshall Coleman, whose election we endorse over that of his Democratic opponent, Edward Lane. Whatever you may think of Mr. Coleman’s views on the issues, at least it is clear where he stands on many of them. Take the Equal Rights Amendment. Mr. Coleman says openly that he supports it. Mr. Lane’s views are unclear. Both are good men but we feel Coleman may be the most reliable candidate.

FIREMEN FROM RAPPAHANNOCK were joined by others from the surrounding area for the annual state certified fire training school held earlier this month at Amissville. The 30-hour course was completed in two weekends and covered such subjects as breathing and protective apparatus, structural fires, search and rescue, pre-fire plan —Rappahannock News photo/Sarah Latham ning and fire ground tactics, ventilation and ladders. Of the 167 registered, 133 completed the entire program. The school is sponsored by the Rappahannock County Fire and Rescue Association and is approved by the Fire Service Training and State Board of Education. School Cutouts Recall An Ancient Art Form Those preschool tots laboring to create cutout masterpieces for proud parents are following a craft almost as old as paper itself. The ancient art of paper cutting originated in North China after the invention of paper there about 100 A.D. Traditionally called “window flowers” and fashioned from red paper, some of the first cutouts were used to decorate thin paper windows coated with tung oil to make them partially transparent. The cheerful designs were pasted on the windows year round to give otherwise bleak rooms a touch of brightness and color, the National Geographic Society says. Learned By Girls Eventually some families used the cutouts to decorate presents, candy containers, tea sets, and table services. The practice caught on and became so important that girls were required to learn the art in childhood. From fairly simple designs, subject matter branched out into dragon^, grotesque gods, ferocious animals, and almost anything else that struck the imagination. Wars and changing dynasties pushed the art of paper cutting southward and finally to the West, where it took on a character of its own and has remained popular even to this day. The great modern artist Henri Matisse loved to work with paper cutouts. “The cutout paper allows me to draw in color,” he said. “It is a simplification. Instead of drawing an outline and filling in the color—in which case one modifies the other—I am drawing directly in color.” Cutouts In Galleries An exhibition of the French master’s paper cutouts can be seen at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C., until October 23; the Detroit Institute of Arts, November 23-January 8, 1978; and the St. Louis Art Museum, January 29-March 12, 1978. Matisse’s free-wheeling use of color and designs contrasts with the painstaking detail that marked some earlier European efforts. Resourceful 17th-century Venetian cabinetmakers cut corners by applying lavish paper cutouts to their creations, then coating them with varnish. The final Democrats Rally In a strong display of party unity, 150 Democrats and friends rallied Saturday night in support of the Democratic Party’s Rainbow Ticket at the National Guard Armory. Gubernatorial candidate Henry Howell was represented by his wife, Mrs. Henry Howell. Attorney General candidate Edward Lane and Charles Robb, seeking the Lt. governorship, were represented by an array of speakers. A1 Smith of Winchester, unopposed for reelection to the House of Delegates, was also present. Congressman Herbert Harris, State Senators Abe Brault and Charles Waddell, and White House aide Hugh “Skip” Holcombe shared the platform with Mrs. Howell. Mrs. Howell, calling her husband “a man for the people”, urged voters to send the “most experienced” man to Richmond. Citing Howell’s long-time record in state and local government, she also said the former Lt Governor has a strong commitment of support from President Jimmy Carter. She predicted a Howell victory, saying she has the “same feeling today” she had when her husband upset Andrew Miller in the Democratic primary. Congressman Harris called on Republican governor candidate John Dalton to “reject totally” campaign contributions raised by a controversial letter sent out by Rep. J. Kenneth Robinson. A conservative group had attempted to raise $95,000 to run a media campaign to "expose” the Howell record. The rally was sponsored by the Fauquier County Democratic Executive Committee and featured a barbecue and country music. It was one of the largest Democratic turnouts in recent years, according to the sponsors. SPEAKING FOR HENRY.

Safety Tips For Hunters Jim Kerrick, Safety Officer for the state Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries, offers the following tips for hunters who will be utilizing small boats as floating ‘blinds’ and for passage to shore to a stationary ‘blind’ during the 1977 waterfowl hunting season: If the boat is propelled by any type of machinery, it must be registered with the Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries, Richmond, Virginia. There must be a U.S. Coast Guard approved life saving device on board for each person, and it is recommended that all hunters wear a life saving device. Winter weather and heavy clothing make a fall overboard much more dangerous than it would be in warmer months. For the duck hunter who goes to his duck ‘blind’ prior to daylight hours or returns after dark, running lights must be displayed. Don't overload your boat. It is better to make two trips to the"‘blind’ than to risk an accident. Keep a ‘weather eye’ peeled at all times and definitely check the weather forecast the night before for any type of storm warnings or high winds. If your boat should capsize, remain with it. Try to keep your legs moving so circulation will not slow down in your body, but don’t leave your boat and attempt to swim for shore. Keep heavy clothing on, as it will help warm foe water next to your body. line thin coupon to order your nuhscription.

_ —Rappahannock News Staff Photo AFTER SCHOOL SPORTS ACTIVITIES have begun at the Elementary School for sixth and seventh graders two afternoons a week.

The program was made possible through the volunteer efforts of Roberta Powers, Edwin Potts and Janet DeRoo, all new teachers at Rappahannock Elementary School. COUNTR Y JOURNAL By NANCY SECRIST Extension Agent I want you to get up right now and write the following numbers by your telephone: 804-924-2231 (to be used from 11 p.m. to 8:30 a.m.) and 804-924-5322 or 804-9245321 (to be used from 8:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.) These are the numbers for the Poison Control Center in Charlottesville. With our - children spending more time inside these cool days, the chances of them accidentally swallowing medicine, cleansers, etc. are greater and we should all be prepared for this tvoe of emereency. Besides having these telephone numbers handy, you should also have a bottle of Syrup of Ipecac, which you can buy without prescription. A safe first aid procedure is to give one or two glasses of water to dilute the poison. Then call the poison control center or a physician. Be prepared to tell as much as you can about what was J swallowed. You may then be instructed to induce vomiting using the Syrup of Ipecac. Not only children can have an accident with a poison. With all the pesticides used in our county it is wise for every farmer to have this number handy also.

Main St. 635-7056 Front Ro yal —Photo courtesy Loudoun-Times Mirror W. “JACK” BROWN, an Extension Agent in Loudoun County has been honored nationally for his work. He is one of four county agents in Virginia who received the Distinguished Service Award. Brown is from Rappahannock; was reared on a farm and educated at VPI. Jack Brown Receives National Award W. “Jack” Brown, an Extension Agent in Loudoun County, has been given a Distinguished Service Award for his work. He received recognition at the annual meeting of the National Association of County Agents held earlier this month in Hartford, Conn. Brown, a native of Rappahannock, has been an agent in Loudoun for 24 years, and according to many county residents there, this award is long overdue. He was educated at Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, receiving a degree in animal science. In Loudoun he works primarily with the agronomy and beef aspects of the extension service. He was instrumental in the development of the Loudoun County 4-H Fairgrounds and works with the Northern Virginia Livestock, Inc. Sales in Winchester during its seasonal sales. Brown has seen the county of Loudoun change from an agricultural community to an urban area, bringing with it more demands in home horticulture, including shrubbery, home gardens, house plants. The aspects of farming have also changed, said Brown, with emphasis placed on management and record keeping. Brown is the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. J. Rodes Brown, and sister, Mrs. Frances Thornton, is County Health Nurse in Rappahannock. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Annie Whorton Clatterbuck and others to Eunice L.

Rappahannock Library Program Features Local Artists Thursday, November 3 at 7:45 p.m. the Rappahannock County Library will present an evening of Poetry and an interval of instrumental and vocal music. In this experimental program, the Library hopes to give exposure to local artists for the entertainment and edification of county residents. "In a word,” says Librarian Grace Sims, “we hope the Library can be a showcase for the talents and creative abilities of our Rappahannock residents.” Carla Eugster, who has her Masters Degree in Economics from the University of Michigan, is the poet. She lives near Woodville where she is endeavoring to devote full time to poetry. As the organizer of the November 3 program, she will read a selection of her strong and sensitive poetry and then guide a discussion on the subject of poetry and writing it. Mrs. Eugster hopes her audience will bring their views and questions to this informal symposium. A musical interlude in the evening of poetry under the direction of Michael Krueger will offer three shape note hymns sung by Judy Bomberger, Bradford Fisher and Michael Krueger. Then there will be a clarinet-viola duet composed by Mr. Krueger and played by him and Carla Eugster. Michael Kruger, 26 years of age, moved to the county three years ago. He is Chicago-born, the son of a government research statistician. He lives music and works carpentry. Last spring his original music was heard during a dance production given in the county and in a trio composition for autoharp, viola and recorder performed by the Rappahannock Choral Society. “Come at or before 7:45 on that November 3 night,” suggests Librarian Sims, “as we are anticipating a good turn out and seating will be scarce. Herb tea and after dinner coffee will be served for your pleasure.” CARLA EUGSTER WILL PRESENT her poetry at the Rappahannock County Library’s local artists evening program which will take place November 3 at 7:45 at the Library in Washington. Everyone is welcome.

Directors $14,646,396 Earmarked For Snow Removal Remembering last winter, the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation has earmarked $14,646,3% for the removal of snow and ice from state roads this winter. C. O. Leigh, state maintenance engineer, says preparations for winter have been completed and the department’s maintenance division is “about as ready as anybody could hope to be” at this time. Practice runs are being made through this month as veteran snow-fighters brush up on their skills and recall the 1976-77 winter, called by many weather-watchers the worst in 100 years. “We certainly have no facts to dispute it,” Leigh said. “We spent upwards to $15 million in our efforts to keep highways clear throughout the state last year. It was difficult, but very few people were stranded for any great period of time.” Calcium chloride and sodium chloride (salt) are the most effective chemicals found for melting snow and ice. This year, the department has ordered 1,284 tons of calcium chloride and 22,417 tons of sodium chloride. In addition, 24,417 tons of abrasives have been ordered, including sand and ground stone. “During unusually bad ice or snow conditions, we will be prepared for shift operations, and some of our maintenance workers will stay at their jobs for several days—or until roads are made passable again,” Leigh said. “All of this costs money—for the gas to operate snow-fighting equipment, maintenance on these vehicles, and the in* crease in wage costs to fight a blizzard,” he added. The department has an armada of snow plows, spreaders for abrasives and chemicals, motor graders and bulldozers. Last year, privately owned trucks also were employed for 31,000 hours at a cost of $509,000. This private equipment will be available on a standby basis again this winter. Leigh said the $14,646,3% earmarked for snow removal this year is broken down this way: $7,247,457 for the primary system (including the arterial network), $4,688,823 for secondary roads, and $2,710,116 for the interstate system. “We’re flexible on this, however,” he said. “If more money is needed on the interstate routes than on the primary roads, we can make adjustments, and since snow removal is our top priority during the winter months, we will manage to find some extra money from some other operations,” Leigh said. +H—(-+ No delay is too long when the life of a man is at stake. yAL FALL Now thru S Saturday, November 5th EARLY'S IS KICKING OFF THE GREATEST CARPET 1UUESOFIHE NEW SEASON.

Wright of Alexandria and Flint Hill was recognized as Wildlife Conservationist Of The Year at the Virginia Conservation Awards Program recently. The Wildlife Conservationist Award is given for out* standing accomplishment which has made a significant contribution to the management and restoration of wildlife. A founder and Board member of the Conservation Council of Virginia, Wright’s efforts helped establish the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection. His work in conservation led him to found the Virginia Wilderness Committee and he is also a charter member of the National Wildlife Refuge Association, formed to advocate and protect America’s great federal wildlife refuges. Arthur Wright worked for the establishment of the Dismal Swamp National Refuge and battled to protect the Back Bay Wildlife Refuge. He helped to make the Mason Neck Refuge a reality and has an impressive record in securing protection for America’s beautiful wilderness areas including wild lands in Shenandoah National Park, Jefferson National Forest and the Monongahela National Forest. “Virginia is lucky, indeed, to have Arthur Wright working so effectively for its wild heritage and we are proud to present him our Wildlife Conservationist of the Year Award,” said Virginia Wildlife Federation President Peter W. Rowe at the Conservation Awards dinner in Alexandria on October 15. ++++ Don’t cross your bridges until you get to them.

-Planners - (Continued from Page 1) intent with a request that county engineer Fanning Baumgardner check the reference to the Virginia Code to make sure it was still correct. . A recreation district was considered by the Planners for inclusion in the zoning ordinance but dismissed alter they agreed that allowing swimming pools, ball fields, golf courses and other sport facilities with a special use permit in agriculture and residential districts allowed for more flexibility. Family Grave Yards Moving on to the uses allowed by right in agricultural districts, Baumgardner noted that permitting family graveyards created the potential for a graveyard within a five-acre subdivision. Miller recalled that the issue of family graveyards had been explosive when work on the county’s zoning ordinance first began. “I about got blown out of the courtroom when I suggested that family graveyards not be allowed by right,” he commented. “If someone wants to be BULLOCK'S Quality Cleaners Complete Dry Cleaning and Laundry Service Rugs & Drapes 19 £ Jackson Front Royal, Va. 635-3055 buried on their property, who the hell are we to say no?” maintained luke, suggesting that family graveyards be kept as a use permitted by right. He agreed that there wouldn't be any great problems with changing family graveyards to a special permitted use. “The only thing that bothers me is, who’s going to give approval?” he added. Luke continued that he thought most special use decisions should be made by the Board of Supervisors rather than the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA). The BZA should only rule on actual appeal cases, he maintained. County ordinances are passed by the Board of Supervisors, the Supervisors set policy and are responsible for seeing that policies are carried out, according to Luke. “The Board of Zoning Appeals is an arm of the court,” he said. “They are not responsible to the supervisors or to the Planning Commission! Irregardless of policy, they can make decisions any way they want.” “Non-Political” Appointed Body The reason behind current procedure with special use permits was to “make decisions non-political,” said Miller. He added that he personally, as a former member of the Board of Supervisors, “liked to have matters of judgement go to a non-political body...It takes a lot of cheap political pressure off the Supervisors.” “People don’t get emotional until you tell them they can’t do something,’’ Miller —Paid Political Advertising— ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ Vote HOWELL For Governor ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ Henry Howell Will Hold The Line On Taxes In Your Interest.

HOWELL has pledged that he will not permit any new program to cause a general tax Increase In the four years of his administration. On Nov. 8th, vote for HOWELL in YOUR interest. „ The Rainbow Ticket will represent YOU in Richmond: HENRY HOWELL CHUCK ROBB ED LANE BUTCH DAVIES GOVERNOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR ATTORNEY GENERAL DELEGATE By authority of the Rappahannock County Democratic Committee, A. H. Keyser, Chairman continued. He told Luke, who is also Chairman of the Rappahannock Supervisors, that he didn’t see why the Board wanted the BZA’s authority to approve or deny special use permits. Miller added that he understood Commonwealth Attorney George Davis agreed with Luke that special use permit control properly lay with the Supervisors. The issue was marked for further attention later in the ordinance review process. Returning to the original discussion, Barksdale asked if it wouldn’t be better to allow grave yards with a special use permit. “I’d leave it just as it is,” Luke responded. “Who’s it going to hurt and if it pleases most of the people...” The rest of the commission agreed. Wayside Stands In considering seasonal wayside stands, another use allowed by right, the Planners agreed that the ordinance needed to include more specific information on the definition of seasonal and clarification of what type of structure would be permitted. “I’m not for closing any of these businesses down...but I’m serious about how much development we allow along highways,” said Luke. Proliferation of road side stands can create traffic hazards, he maintained. Luke asked if the ordinance should allow more than one dwelling per lot in agricultural districts. “What size lot?” questioned Barksdale. “That’s the problem,” chorused Miller and Luke. After discussion, the Planners agreed to limit by special use permit the construction of more than one permanent dwelling on agricultural lots less than ten acres. On lots over ten acres in an agriculture district, a second permanent dwelling would be allowed by right. Set Back Regulations Not Enforced Frontage and set back requirements for uses permitted by right in an agriculture district were discussed but not changed by the Planners although they acknowledged that side set back regulations in particular were currently not enforced. Barksdale suggested that reference to the recently adopted Erosion and Sedimentation Control Ordinance be added to the conservation district section in the ordinance. The rest of the Commissioners concurred that the new erosion ordinance should be made a part of the other county ordinances and agreed to check with Commonwealth Attorney Davis on where it should be inserted. In the uses allowed by right in a conservation zone, the Planners deleted recreation and added a notation that construction of a second permanent dwelling on lots less than ten acres required a special use permit. Specific Or General? Miller asked why the uses permitted by right in an agriculture district were sharply defined with a list of all permitted uses while the ordinance section on uses by BARRON’S TIRE SERVICE Your Size Cost F.E.T.

He proposed that it might be better to also include guidelines, rather than a list of permitted uses, for the agricultural district as well. When work on the zoning ordinance first began, the Planners and Supervisors were more concerned about "protecting the heights," mailed Luke. "I think it’s easier to^ defend our regulations in* conservation districts than in any other district we have,” interjected Miller. Luke agreed and asked the rest of the Planners how they felt on whether uses allowed should be general or specific. “I don’t know,” answered Walter Masterson. He noted that Rappahannock ordinances have stood up well since adoption but added that they had not been challenged in court to any great degree. George Muth replied that he didn’t see any conflict between the generalities governing permitted uses in conservation districts and clearly defined lists of permitted uses in agriculture districts since the county had decided to be more protective of environmentally sensitive conservation zones. Miller added that Commonwealth Attorney Davis had been particularly concerned with “horizonal land” and had paid special attention to the conservation sectiop when the zoning ordinance was first drawn up. Frontage Regulations Deleted After some discussion, the Planners agreed to strike the frontage regulations on lots in conservation districts. By eliminating frontage requirements, the county would, in effect, encourage clustering of houses along state roads and so preserve additional conservation land, maintained Baumgardner. “You’re not requiring that conservation areas be all cut up just to get read frontage...! like it. It eliminates building roads.” He added that the subdivision ordinance’s restriction against oddly shaped lots would prevent developers from using the elimination of frontage requirements to subvert the zoning ordinance. Miller maintained that frontage regulations cause more problems than they solve. “What’s wrong with that?” asked Luke. “If people can’t meet them (frontage regulations), then they won’t build there,” he commented but went along with the majority in recommending that frontage requirements be deleted from conservation districts. Masterson questioned whether the county wouldn’t eventually be faced with a trade-off between allowing clustered development in conservation areas in order to protect agricultural land. This may happen, agreed Miller, but not any time soon.

HOME COUNTRY OCTOBER 27, 1977 e of Rappahan vies, a "home , Madis e | Supplement to: I The Culpeper News, The Culpeper Star Exponent, The f Madison County Eagle, The Orange County Review, and * The Rappahannock News. I Paid political advertising for John J. “Butch” Davies, by I authority of Elolse Weaver, Treasurer, Davies for I Delegate Committee.

HOME COUNTRY Anyplace called “home” is special. But there is something about our home counties here in Virginia’s heartland that is very special. Perhaps it’s the scenery . . . the rolling foothills that stretch to the Blue Ridge, the clear water of rambling streams, the rich red and brown of a farmer’s earth, or our golden forests that reflect the autumn sunlight. Or perhaps it’s the history ... as the birth-place of statesmen and the home-place of Presidents, as the battleground of many of the fierce battles of America’s Civil War. But very probably it’s the people—for as much as anywhere in the United States, there can be found here a respect for tradition, a reverence for a job well done, and a determination to guard our basic liberties. This publication is about one of those people—John J. “Butch” Davies. Now a candidate for the Virginia House of Delegates, he carries with him on the campaign road the dedication that is so vital to preserving the traditions, the responsibilities, and the freedoms of these Virginia counties that we call home.

Walking the roads of home... Over the past months, Butch Davies has walked hundreds of miles—many of them over dusty roads far back into the country. He walked those many miles for the purpose of seeing first-hand the condition of our rural roads, but more than that, he wanted to talk with—and listen to—the people of these Virginia counties. He wanted to hear their thoughts, their problems, their hopes. For if he can win election to the House of Delegates, it will then be his responsibility to provide the type of leadership that responds to both the problems and the hopes of the ’70’s. "Whether People Will Be Heard"Is Key Issue “The real issue is whether the people here will be heard,” Butch Davies observes. He continues: “We have to have leaders who will lead . . . and we have to have representatives who will represent the best interests of the people. So many special interests now have lobbyists that what’s best for the taxpaying public is too often forgotten.” Davies, the Democratic nominee for the House of Delegates, has been meeting many issues head-on in his campaign against George Beard. CRIME CONTROL The issue of crime control was Davies’ topic as he served as a panelist on a special radio program called “Progress Against Crime.” In addition to Davies, the program featured Culpeper Sheriff Robert Peters, Chief of Police Roy Jamison, and Attorney General candidate Ed Lane. Since two-thirds of all serious crimes are committed by repeat offenders, the panel expressed the thoughts of many Virginians in calling for tougher parole standards. Both Davies and Lane expressed interest in the “Crime Watch” program that is credited with lowering burglary rates in may rural communities. SECONDARY ROADS "Some of the roads here need immediate first-aid,” Davies observed after a recent tour of secondary roads in Madison County. Rural road improvements have become a focal point of a Davies campaign effort that includes personal surveys of many of the District’s unpaved roads. Davies maintains that "if mil lions can be spent for mass transit . . . then it’s time rural roads received a greater share of highway revenues. Many of the roads here are deteriorating faster than they’re being repaired . . TAX REFORM Saying that legislators “need to learn to say no” to frequent tax increase proposals, Davies advocates “sunset” legislation that would end costly state programs that have retained funding despite the fact that they are no longer of significant benefits. According to Davies, “Sunset legislation would make a major contribution toward keeping the state’s budget balanced—without continued tax increases.” Davies also plans to work for “a tax credit for older Virginians” that would help ease the burden of sales taxes paid for food and non-prescription medicines. LOCAL TELEPHONE RATES A major problem locally, according to Davies, is “a long distance charge for many area residents when they’re calling within their own county. In fact, some residents here can’t call their next door neighbor without a long-distance rate.” Davies has pledged to “go to all the boards, commissions, and departments necessary to get effective action against long-distance charges for what should be local calls.” STATE MANDATED PROGRAMS “Our localities,” says Davies, “cannot continue to have the burden of state mandated programs on them. If the state is Continued next page . ..

Davies Gaining Ground As Local Citizens Respond To His Campaign “He’s a worker,’’ said Sherman Williams of Chester Gap in Rappahannock County. He was referring to the determined campaign efforts of John J. “Butch’’ Davies. Day after day, from factory gates to country roads to civic forums, Davies has taken his campaign directly to the people of his district— and the people have responded. “I’m impressed with his willingness to go and see people, regardless of where they live. And bad weather doesn’t stop him. He was campaigning in a driving rainstorm in Culpeper other day,” commented Dot Schaeffer of Rixeyville. “If he works half as hard as a Delegate as he’s working now,” said Emmett Dunnavant, “the people of this area will surely be represented well.” Rallies and open-door meetings around the District are drawing more and more area residents to participate in the Davies, campaign effort—and this response has “really encouraged” the candidate: “I’ll always remember the warm response I’ve received . . . whether I win or lose, I’ve learned a lot about his area and I’ve made a lot of friends. If we do win on the 8th, I’ll try to repay the people here by working just as hard as I can for their interests.” "People Key Campaign Issue"— Davies Continued from previous page. going to require new programs . . . then it should be the State’s responsibility to provide enough revenue to hind them. If the state can’t do that. . . then it should quit sending down mandates.” FOR HELP FOR RESCUE SQUADS and FIRE DEPARTMENTS “We have many dedicated people who give of their time and talents to rescue squads and fire departments. Our state and communities should give in return total support. I favor a coordinated program that would involve state help in providing grants and funding for these vital services.” FOR RESEARCH FOR FARMLAND PROTECTION “We have to protect our farmland,” Davies says, “So much of it is being developed for housing. Our state universities should be involved in expanded studies to determine the best way to meet both housing and farming needs.” EDUCATION “A quality educational system,” says Davies, “is one that effectively prepares a student for the responsibilities of later life. The recent ‘back-to-basics’ movement is a step in the right direction. So is vocational training.” “The state, however, should not expect localities to fund a variety of costly educational programs . . .” CITIZEN PARTICIPATION “Virginia could benefit substantially by involving more pri vate citizens in the decision-making process of government. The General Assembly should be reminded that many people are both willing and able to serve on special task-forces; they simply need to be asked.” GUN CONTROL “1 oppose the registration of firearms. Criminals who use guns in their crimes should receive additional penalties. “But we must protect the rights of those who are not criminals—and the right to bear arms is Constitutionally guaranteed.” THE RIGHT TO WORK LAW “Again,” says Davies, “the key element is freedom. The Right to Work Law recognizes that freedom by allowing the worker to make his own choice.” AVAILABILITY “If I’m elected on the 8th,” Davies says, “I’m going to continue to have open-door meetings throughout the district . . . and I’m going to continue to walk the roads and to take the time to listen to what the people here have to say.” For the photographs . . .

For Two Centuries A Tradition of Working ... In the year of 1749, a young surveyor began practicing his trade over the land that now forms these “Piedmont” counties of Virginia. The young man showed a particular dedication to both his work and to government service. His name was George Washington and his contributions to his state and nation have never since been equalled. Over two centuries have passed since Washington’s day—two centuries that have seen countless changes across these United States. And certainly this land of ours that Washington surveyed has also changed in those two hundred years. But many people of these counties still reflect the same reverence for daily work and the same respect for community service that were so vital at the birth of a new nation. At the present time, volunteer rescue squads and Are departments in this area are involving both exceptional efforts and exceptional people. Civic and religious work also remain hallmarks of many of our local communities. When House candidate Butch Davies was asked why he chose to be active in community work, and why he became a political candidate, he thought for awhile and then responded: “There is a tradition here in this area of hard work and community service . . . so I guess that I’ve always felt that I have a responsibility to help out. And I believe that an active, working legislator can make a major contribution to the people here.” In recent years, Davies has served as a director of the Culpeper Mental Health Association, as President of the local Historical Society, as a trustee of United Way of Virginia, and a vestryman at St. Stephens Episcopal Church. In 1972, Davies was honored by the United States Army with its Commendation Medal. m Farming at Brandy Station—a 20’s scene. Agriculture Committee is Quillen, Davies Hope Ford C. Quillen, Chairman of the House of Delegates Agriculture Committee, has expressed the hope that this legislative district “will continue to have representation on his committee.” Quillen and Davies recently made a joint campaign tour here, during which they talked with a number of local farmers. Following the tour with Davies, Quillen agreed to return for an open meeting to give area farmers a chance to discuss drought relief and related agricultural issues. That meeting is now set for 7:00 p.m. at the Court House in Orange on Thursday, October 27th. Davies expressed his “deep appreciation that the Chairman of the • House Agriculture Committee is willing to come back here for this important open hearing. Farmers in Orange, and throughout thisC^-ea, pan have their viewpoints heard by Chairman Quillen’s committee.” AND FOR CAMPAIGN WORK... The Davies campaign is a peopleto-people effort. Through your help we can win this election . . . and give our area a working delegate. Please remind your friends and neighbors to vote on November 8th. If you have suggestions or contributions for Butch Davies, he can be reached at P.0. Box 712, Culpeper, Va. 22701. The Davies Family: A Record of Service “Fifty years ago,” Butch Davies was told in Lignum, “John Bowersett would ride a horse throughout Culpeper and Rappahannock as he campaigned for candidates.” Not every candidate has the opportunity to retrace the campaign trail taken by their great-grandfather, but Butch Davies is visiting many of the very same country stores that Papa Bowersett visited a half century ago. Since public service is something of a Davies family tradition, Butch now hears manv campaign stones from local citizens who remember elections of years past. Maiy Bowersett Davies, the candidate’s grandmother, was the first elected woman to hold office m Culpeper County. Like both her father and her husband, she served as the Countv’s Commissioner of Revenue. * The present Commissioner in Culpeper is John A.B. Davies-who is generally called Pete by friends. Pete Davies, who is the candidate’s uncle, has served as Commissioner for Aw^rd yCarS and WaS thC fifSt Cu,peper reciPient °f the Jaycees’ Distinguished Service Butch Davies feels that his uncle’swork here “has been an inspiration and an example for a lot of people. He s always given a 100% effort. . . I’ve learned more from him than from anv college. J Service in education is also a family tradition—Butch’s mother has taught in the oublic schools here for some twenty-eight years, and an aunt has taught for about twenty-five. ve been lucky, says the candidate, “in having both a community environment and a family environment that encourages public service.” “I’m »**> lucky,” Butch Davies says, “that I don’t have to campaign by riding a horse like my great-grandfather. Especially in this age of bumper strips.

Heavy Voter Turnout Predicted Local election officials foresee a “generally heavy—maybe very heavy” turnout as area voters go to the polls on November 8th. In some election years that have followed the presidential campaigns of a previous year, the interest and turnout have been low. But in 1977, Virginia’s campaigns for Governor, Lt. Governor, and Attorney General have received extensive media coverage— including a national spotlight on the top two races. Locally, the House of Delegates contest has generated increasing interest and debate as the November 8th election day approaches. “Both candidates are well known and well liked,” said Culpeper registrar Alta Finks. Rappahannock County’s registrar, Mary Cleverley, noted that more absentee ballots have been cast this year than ever before in the County’s history. She finds interest especially high in Chester Gap precinct where, she says, “people have really been working.” Henry DeJarnette, Orange County’s Clerk of Court and a man long experienced in observing campaigns, sees Orange County’s vote total as being “within ten percent” of last year’s presidential turnout. DeJamette also predicts “a complete media saturation before election day.” New registration in Madison County approached two hundred in the last week alone, indicating significant campaign interest here. With absentee balloting already showing signs of being heavy, Democratic Party Chairman Edward Berry predicts that last year’s record-breaking 87.6% turnout will be matched by the Madison vote on November 8th. Delegate candidate Davies sees the turnout predictions as “very encouraging.” He observed: “In all four counties, there is substantial interest in issues. Voters here are not going to be content with just speeches or campaign year promises—and they’re not going to sit on the sidelines during important campaigns. And I think they realize that the key issue in this House of Delegates race is really effective leadership.” He continued: I sincerely believe that I can go to Richmond and get good com mittee assignments. I think that I can get legislation passed on issues that will help the people here—issues of roads, of programs for the elderly, of tax reform, and of budget management. The state could learn a lesson from some of the business people and housewives in this area— and that’s how to get a dollar’s worth of value for a dollar spent. That’s part of the message that I want to take to the legislature. And I believe that people who are interested in having more effective government will be voting on November 8th.” PRECINCTS... like die four above... will be die netting for our November 8th decisions. Local registrars foresee a heavy turnout that will approach last year’s presidential voting. Pictured are the Rochelle precinct in Madison County; Pearl Sample School in Culpeper; Somerset Precinct’s Blue Ron Baptist Church in Orange County; and the Rappahannock County Court House. Weather A Factor Although a heavy turnout seems probable on November 8th, a factor no politician can control could be decisive. The year of ’77 has been a year of extreme weather—and no one is sure what Election Tuesday will bring. Since snow fell on mountains in mid-October, many are conjecturing about the impact of a snowstorm on the November 8th voting. Rain fell throughout much of the state on June 14th, the date of the most recent Democratic Pri mary. Rural voters stayed home in the downpour—with the total voting statewide some 100,000 less than various polls had predicted. Any substantial snowfall would, of course, adversely affect the turnout here, with many area roads becoming impassable. Then there is the possibility that the various campaigns will be so hot by election day that any snow would be melted immediately. The Blizzard of '99... Winters worse than last year’s are remembered by a few local citizens. Pictured is Culpeper’s Davis Street during a famous storm of seventy-eight years ago. Davies Sees Interest By Retirees “A very positive development,” is how candidate Davies described increasing political interest by retirees and other older Virginians. He commented further: “I see a new determination on the part of many older residents to have a strong voice in how our government operates. The experience they’ve had gives them a perspective on what’s important. Any government can benefit from such perspective when it comes to determining priorities.” Davies has pledged that one of his own legislative priorities will be “an active, working concern” for the retired and older citizens of his district. “I’ll work as hard as I can,” Davies said, “to see that state government is responsive to the needs of older Virginians. I strongly favor a tax credit for food and medicine purchases by the elderly, and I will also seek state support for any locality that provides reduced property taxes for older citizens.” Davies concluded: “1 can’t imagine anything more unfair I than having elderly people forced from their homes because they can’t pay property taxes. This is unacceptable ... and no leader or legislator should stand for it. ” . Older Americans have recently won a major victory with the ending of many mandatory retirement provisions. With increased involvement in politics by retirees, more progress can be expected. And according to Butch Davies: “Progress and programs for older Virginians will be a priority.”
