Rappahannock Adds Two New Races The Rappahannock Hunt Race Committee is hard at work preparing for this year’s Point-to-Point races to take place on Saturday, March 4th. In spite of snow and winter chill, the beautiful course will be ready for the 29th running of this colorful event. The races will be run over the picturesque land of James W. Fletcher’s Thornton Hill Farm, 2 miles south of Sperryville on Route 522. Under the direction of Witold Kuncewicz, Race Committee Chairman, this year’s program will include two new races; a pony race for riders under 16 years of age and “The New Mount Marshall,’’ a 2 Vi mile race for foxhunters. The Chairman says ’’Our spectators will see the finest and the fastest speeplechasers race over some of Virginia’s most beautiful countryside. We have made many improvements for the spectators and for the riders. This year’s races promise to be the best we have ever had.” In addition to timber and hurdle races, Rappahannock will offer a pairs race for hunters to be run against the clock. These races, coupled with the two new races, guarantee an action-packed race card. The unique feature of the Rappahannock Hunt Races is the traditional "Hound Race” which pits the best foxhounds in the area against each other. This last race of the day brings SO hounds together in spirited competition. Their cries, echoing from the wooded hills surrounding the course, help create a truly special event. The Race Committee has made special preparations for an improved public address system to be manned by Ron David, a well known T.V. personality. This year’s event will feature a broad choice of food and beverages and an enlarged hospitality room and eating area available to riders, grooms, and drivers. Tickets will be available at fhe gates. The public is cordially Invited to attend one of Virginia’s finest sports events. Mrs. Chester W. Fannon, Jr. of Castleton, is Secretary for this year's races. THE REAR VIEW of the new Sperryville rescue vehicle is inspected by Julian Brown and Cecil Baldwin. Squad members spent Sunday afternoon becoming familiar with the operation of the new ambulance and equipment. No Alpine Slide For Rappahannock BZA Denies Ski Permit By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH Rappahannock New* Staff Writer With little fanfare and no discussion, the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals voted unanimously last Thursday to deny the Harris Hollow Ski Area’s special use permit application to reopen as a year round recreational facility. At the same time, Board members authorized a memorandum to the county Planning Commission, requesting the Planners to review the ski area property’s commercial zoning “for the purpose df presenting an appropriate recommendation to the Board of Supervisors.” The ski area application was not on the BZA agenda for last Thursday so the courtroom was a far cry from the standing-room-only packed house of the January 12 public hearing on the request. Only a handful of spectators were there to hear BZA member George Muth read a prepared motion to “deny the application of the Rappahannock Ski Corporation for a special use permit as submitted on December 27, 1977.” In that application, Corporation president James Moore asked for a permit to use the property as a commercial ski area. The request included rights to operate a snowless Alpine slide, to rent areas for the sale of arts and crafts, to run a farmers’ market and miniature golf course and to provide tennis, swimming, hiking and facilities for dancing and musical entertainment. With a unanimous vote, the BZA members denied ALL the uses requested on the grounds that approval would be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the public. They found the requested use in conflict with the county zoning ordinance “for reasons including but not limited to the following: 1. Will be hazardous to and in conflict with the predominant character of the neighborhood considering the nature and intensity of the operation involved. 2. Will adversely affect the peace, tranquility, health and safety of persons residing or working in the neighborhood. 3. Will be injurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood. 4. Will adversely affect the taxable land and property values. 5. Cause congestion in public areas and streets. 6. Adversely affect police, fire and rescue protection. 7. Contribute to over crowding of land, undue density of population in relation to the community facilities existing or planned and congestion in travel. 8. Conflict with the natural environment of Rappahannock County and its ecology. 9. Contribute to the destructive forces of nature and man. 10. Will not be in accordance with provisions of the Rappahannock County Zoning Ordinance, 1973, and the plan of use and development embodied therein." Memo To Planners Aside from the motion read by Muth, the BZA members did not elaborate further on their reasons for denying the application. In related action, they approved (Continued on Page 4) Plans Made To Upgrade Rec Center Now that spring is inevitable, thought* turn toward planning spring and summer activities. The Rappahannock Recreation Association is also beginning to take new life again. The group meeting February 9 found the financial situation fairly grim for the Rec Center is mildly in the red. All Rappahannock residents are urged to muster their arms and proceed to the battlefront to meet the challenge .•f providing some recreational activities in the \ " The Rec Center to daite has been widely used. It is located on six acres near Washington on Route 211 and fronts on the Rush River. The property was donated by Col. Earl Holmes in 1974 and now contains a pavillion with restroom facilities, electricity and picnic tables. Playground equipment has been made available by the local Womans Club and the Garden Qub has enhanced the area with plantings of trees and shrubs. Many individuals assisted in maintenance. Use of the facility is open to groups, clubs or individuals. It has been used by many and others are encouraged to take advantage of the area. The problem at hand is not a new one; funds for operation and improvement are needed. Last year SS65 was required to operate the Rec •Center, and thanks to Thomas Granville Eastham all bills were paid. A total of $28 remains in the bank and the deficit (owing to Mr. Eastham) is $172.55. Now some action is necessary. The first anticipated new project is the construction of an all-purpose court which Pre-Schoolers Registration All children eligible to enter kindergarten or the first grade this fall are required to register. Parents will be getting letters from the school announcing the registrations days which are Thursday, February 23 and Friday, February 24 by appointment at the elementary school. Those entering kindergarten must be 5 years old on or before December 31, 1978 and first graders must be 6 years old by that date. State law requires all children be registered and a parent or guardian who does not wish the child to enter kindergarten must make a written request not to enroll the child. On registrations day parents must bring the child’s birth certificate and immunization records. If you do not have a birth certificate for your child, bring $2 and the school will make application for one. Mrs. Frances Thornton, Rappahannock County Health Department Nurse, will be present during the registration to discuss health matters including immunizations. rill include volleyball, •asketball and shufDeboard, ilus an area set aside for ladminton. A court meeting equirements for these games trill cost S3500, and two >rojects to raise funds are in hf planning, one for anicipated operating expenses ind another for construction iunds. A telephone campaign is underway asking residents to donate anything they can. A spokesman for the center said if you have not been called, please contact some of them; the committee is not large. The center is in the process of becoming incorporated and all donations will be tax deductible. Contributions may be sent to Jean Lillard, Box 124, Flint Hill. The second project will be giving away prizes which will include cash. Prizes have been donated by local business firms and will be listed in subsequent issues of this newspaper. —RippthMnnft News Photo/S.

From Alert To Emergency To Crisis Fuel Adjustment Revisions Approved The continuing strike by United Mine Workers is going to mean bigger electric bills for Rappahannock customers of Potomac Edison (PEPCO). In Richmond on Friday, the State Corporation Commission (SCO approved fuel adjustment clause revisions that will allow the company to automatically pass on increased costs it has incurred through buying expensive electricity from "power pools.” Potomac Edison told the SCC last week that it was in a "critical financial condition because it had been forced by the miner’s strike to buy power at high prices from other utilities. Potomas Edison’s power output is 95 per cent coni generated. Under normal conditions, stockpiles are kept at a 45 day supply, according to C. Irvin Cather, manager of Potomac Edison’s Southern Division offices in Win* father on Monday that the company’s coal stocks had now sunk to below a'30 day rsssrvt. He added that additional coal supplies were brought in over last summer to boost stockpiles to a 90 day supply in anticipation of the current strike. “We would have liked to have had more but wildcat strikes in the summer months prohibited deliveries,” he said. Cather explained that oil and nuclear generated power purchased from Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland “pools” is approximately four times more expensive than that produced by the utility’s coal generated plants. He added that the pools were becoming “more and more reluctant” to sell res tvs power. “There is no certainty that reserves from the power pool will continue to be available,” he said. Jim Poffenberger Southern Division assist an manager from the Lara: office, noted that Potomai Edison ti currently buying X per cent of its power frost other companies ant predicted that the utility1 coal reserves would drop to i 25 day supply by the. weekend. Cither reported that Potomac Edison had appealed to Virginia Governor John Dalton at the first of the month and again last Friday, asking Dalton to implement mandatory energy conservation measures in step two of the company’s emergency plan. Step two measures include: —Elimination of all outdoor flood and advertising lighting except for the minimal level required to protect life and property and a single illuminated sign to identify commercial establishments that are open alter dark. —Keeping building temperatures at no more than 68 degrees. —Curtailment of nighttime sports, entertainment and recreational activities. —Closing all public I museums, art galleries and i historic buildings that 1 require lighting or heating. i( —Operation of all retail : establishments on a schedule not exceeding six days a week. Dalton refused to implement mandatory conservation measures and instead advised the power company to continue to encourage its customers to voluntarily curtail their electrical usage. If the miners stay out on strike and coal supplies continue to dwindle, Cather said that Potomac Edison may be forced to interrupt electric service to groups of customers on a rotating basis. Circuits selected for interruption will be divided into three approximately equal groups and customers will be given advance warning of probable two hour power cut oft that will occur at six hour intervals, according to Cather. Service interruption, step five in Potomac Edison's emergency plan, will not require approval hj the Governor if coal supplies decrease to the point where they Just isn't enough fuel for the generators, Cather added. The effective date for the fuel clause revisions was Friday so Potomac Edison will be unable to recover any extra expenses incurred before then, under the SCC ruling. According to Potomac Edison counsel John Riely, unrecovered cost to the utility for buying power in January was $818,000 with anticipated unrecovered costs for February of $1.56 million. Poffenberger was unable to predict on Tuesday what the SCC ruling would mean to the average Rappahannocker’s electric bill. The utility’s legal department had received only a "blanket statement” from the SCC —not enough information to apply the foel adjustment clause revisions to individual rates for a "field interpretation,” according to the assistant manager. He continued that it was hard to calculate the success of Potomac Edison’s plea for voluntary conservation from its customers because of weather fluctuations. Poffenberger said he knew of several industries and retailers that had taken steps to reduce usage out how much had been saved was difficult to measure. Voluntary curtailment has been ‘‘definitely effective because we’re still cranking it out,” he said, adding that supplies were not disappearing as fast as they normally would. One of the county’s biggest consumers of electrical power is Aileen, Inc. located outside Flint Hill. Plant manager Wayne Walker reported that the company was taking steps to control energy usage by reducing lighting levels in cutting rooms, sewing rooms, cafeteria and offices. With operating hours from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., lights and machinery are generally turned on from 6:15 a.m. to 4 p.m., said Walker. However, due to the coal shortage, Walker said full power at the Aileen plant wasn’t turned on until 7 a.m. and was turned off again as soon as employees left at 3:30. “We’re cutting back to just what we need to operate,” said Walker. "Whatever is required, we’ll comply with.” According to Rappahannock Superintendent of Schools Dr. William Bloomer, the county school system is also adopting measures to lower electrical usage. Bloomer said night lighting and heat had been cut back and teachers and administrators encouraged to turn off lights in well lit rooms during the day. Extra-curricular activities have not been eliminated. Bloomer continued. However, he added that adult education classes have not begun as scheduled due to the energy shortage. Coal stocks at the high school reached the critical level last week with only a half day's supply on hand. The high school gets its coal from a non-union mine in Tennessee but the distributor had transport problems and wasn’t able to deliver on schedule, according to Bloomer. Currently, the high school has enough coal to probably last through the week, he said. It will take striking mine workers at least a week to ratify any agreement proposed by union bargainers, noted Potomac Edison’s assistant manager Jim Poffenberger. Then, an additional five to 15 days will elapse before coal flows from the idle mines resume normal schedules, he said. “We’re going from alert to emergency to a crisis situation,’’ Poffenberger concluded. Foul Weather Postpones Fairfax Races The Fairfax Hunt Point-toPoint Races, originally scheduled for Saturday, have been postponed until April 22 because of the poor condition of the snow and ice covered race course. Race chairman Mario diFrank said that no other changes have been made in the race program. The Fairfax meet will now be the last point-to-point on the Virginia circuit this year.

The unit will be stationed at Trinity Episcopal Church parking lot in Washington on Saturday, March 4, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, March 5, from 1 to 5 p.m. On Monday and Tuesday, March 6 and 7, the mobile unit will be at the elementary school from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. John Schultz, Rappahannock Lions Club Sight Chairman, estimated that between 180 and 200 students could be screened each day the unit is at the school. Parental permission slips will be sent home this week and must be signed and returned before testing. Schultz said that older children will be given priority since time limitations prevent screening the entire student body for sight and hearing problems. However, he noted that parents could bring younger children to Washington on Saturday or Sunday for testing. The screening procedure for both sight and hearing problems takes no more than 15 minutes. Schultz noted that the testing was not diagnostic. Participants either pass or fail the screening. It is then up to individuals to pursue treatment with an ophthalmologist or hearing specialist.

Warning On Generator Use As rotating electric power blackouts become a real possibility because of the prolonged coal strike, some local residents may be considering the use of inhome emergency generators. In recognition of this, Potomac Edison officials today warned that “possible loss of life and property damage’’ can result from improper use of such emergency generating equipment. According to G. E. Hoak, the utility’s safety administrator, "Unless an emergency generator meets all electrical codes, it is a very dangerous piece of machinery. Damage to homes and recreational vehicles can be caused by improperly installed home generating equipment,” he said, “and it is quite conceivable that people working on lines could be injured or killed should power from an emergency generator flow back into our lines. Similar dangers exist,” he said, "for farms and BULLOCK’S Quality Cloanars Complete Dry Cleaning and Laundry Service Rugs & Drapes 19 E.

Notify the electric company that you plan to install the generator. 2. Employ a competent electrical contractor and ask him to coordinate his work with Potomac Edison. 3. Insist that the installation pass electrical inspection. 4. Notify Potomac Edison when the installation is complete. 5. Have your contractor go over with you the generator's operation and get from him a manufacturer’s manual for future reference. 6. Set up an inspection and maintenance schedule and follow it. You’ll want the generator to work in an emergency. Hoak has a special warning for those owning recreational vehicles containing electric generators. “When the power goes off,” he warned, “it is a great temptation to use this generator by running a line from the recreational vehicle to the nearest household outlet. Don’t do it unless proper precautions are taken. Unless properly installed, your generator could become overloaded beyond its capacity which could result in extensive damage to the generator. Without adequate protection,” Hoak said, "your generator can be ruined when our power comes back on, and fire is a definite possibility.” +++ The kh fox, already almost wiped out by traps set for wolves and coyotes, is slowly being pushed out of its homeland by people crowding into the southwestern United States, Defenders of Wildlife reports.

Prevent Phone Cable Cuts Nearly 7,870 customers of Central Telephone Company of Virginia had their telephone service interrupted in 1977 by cable cuts that were preventable. “The problem is accidental buried telephone cable cuts,” explained Baxter F. Smith, Centel division plant manager in Charlottesville. Smith reported there were 439 separate incidents in 1977 in which underground telephone lines were damaged by construction activity in its Virginia service area. “The cost of repairing these cuts was more than $35,900,” said Smith.

From all indications, 1977 will break all records in single home construction and existing (resale) home sales. Current statistics point to a record 3.4 million existing home sales for 1977 topping the old record (1972) of 3 million. New housing starts will reach the 1.4 million mark, passing 1972’s record of 1.3 million starts. However, there is still not an abundance of properties available as demand continues to more than keep up with supply. One of the major reasons for the tremendous growth in the housing market has been the availability of mortgage money at a favorable interest rate. Although loan money is still available, indications are very clear that interest rates will be easing upward during the next six months. It also appears that shortages in raw materials (especially insulation) and a shorter supply of skilled workers could drive home prices up.

That’s the challenge goal for this year's Rappahannock Heart Fund drive. During the month of February, volunteers will be canvassing door-todoor throughout the county. They’ll be soliciting contributions to fight America’s Number One Killer—heart disease. It killed over a million .Americans last year and affected 29 million more in one way or another. Here in Rappahannock, an alarming 57.6 percent of deaths in 1975 were classified as cardiovascular deaths. As they distribute informational material on heart disease, volunteers in Rappahannock will collect for the Heart Association’s research, education and community service programs. Since 1949, over $268,000,000 in Heart Fund dollars have gone into research. By policy, the Heart Association allocates 57 percent of its national budget to research. Approximately 23 percent of the income from Rappahannock’s fund drive will go into this category. Partially due to Heart Association research, in-hospital heart attack deaths have gone down by 30% since the 1960’s. But the fight has just begun. We urge all Rappahannock residents to be generous with their life-saving money when a volunteer calls. Only broadly-based public financial support can give the Heart Association the help it needs in the fight to save the lives of the two persons who will die every moment this year from heart disease. There are also other ways that the average Rappahannocker can cut down on the chances of becoming a cardiovascular statistic. According to the Heart Association, everyone can benefit by: —not smoking cigarettes —controlling high blood pressure —eating food low in cholesterol and saturated fats —exercising regularly and moderately —maintaining a normal weight The American Heart Association volunteers are fighting for your life. By following their advice and by giving generously during the February fund drive, you can help. Protect Cows Against Grass Tetanv Grass tetany could be a greater problem than normal in beef cow herds in the late winter and spring of 1978 suggests Virginia Tech Extension specialist John Gerken. He said there have been a number of reports of grass tetany cases in fall-calving herds late in 1977 due in part, perhaps, to the lush fall pasture growth that occurred once Virginia cattle producing areas received rain that relieved summer-long drought conditions. Drought conditions were widespread in Virginia in 1977 and consequently hay supplies are very short. Many cows are being wintered on less than normal amounts of hay with the difference being made up by feeding concentrates, crop residues, broiler litter or a variety of other feeds. “This situation could lead to a greater than normal incidence of grass tetany,” said Gerken “particularly if forage quality is poor and no magnesium supplementation is provided.” Most grains are good sources of magnesium but farmers wanting to cut costs may be tempted to reduce feeding rates too quickly at the on set of the grazing season in April. This could lead to increased numbers of cases of grass tetany in late winter and early spring unless magnesium supplementation is adequate. Supplemental magnesium can be provided to cows during periods of increased requirements by several methods. Such measures should begin at least two weeks before calving. Daily consumption of ‘/a to 1 ounce of magnesium oxide (MgO) should provide complete protection. When feeding grain to beef cows during stress periods, mix 3 pounds of MgO to 97 pounds of grain and feed 2 pounds pier day to provide 1 ounce of MgO. When feeding a protein supplement to cows consuming low protein rations, mix 12 parts of MgO to 88 parts of supplement and feed at least ‘/a pound daily. MgO can be spinkled evenly over silage at feeding time with good results. High magnesium blocks also offer protection but may be more expensive than othei methods of supplementation. No matter what method is used, it is essential that cows get the recommended amount of MgO on a daily and continuous basis as cows can store only limited amounts of magnesium in their bodies. Gerken reports that numerous cases of tetany have been reported in the past in situations where magnesium supplementation was not continued on a regular basis past the spring danger period. Many beef producers depend on free-choice mineral mixtures to provide supplemental magnesium. A 1:1 mixture of trace mineralized salt and MgO has been effective in many herds, but regular consumption of this mixture may be variable. Consumption can be improved by mixing in a palatable feed such as cottonseed meal, dried molasses, ground corn, steamed bone meal, or alfalfa meal in equal parts with trace mineralized salt and MgO. Whatever mixture is used, it is important that it be provided in a palatable form so cattle can eat it frequently. It is also very important to make sure that supplementation is continuous. Beef producers in need of additional information on grass tetany can get more information from their local Virginia Tech Extension Office. Blue Ridge Races March 11 The annual Blue Ridge Hunt Point-to-Point Race Meeting will be held on Saturday, March 11th, on beautiful Woodley Farm, near Berryville, on U. S. Route 340. The Blue Ridge course is the only one on the race meeting circuit where the spectators have a view of the entire course from the reserved parking area. This year, with a new flat race added, there will be seven races in the area in front of the reserved parking in addition to the Hunting Pair Race which is run over a three mile flagged cross country course, part of which goes out of sight. Post time for the Hunting Pair Race is 11:00 a.m. The regular races start at 1:00 p.m. with the Open Flat Race for ladies and gen tlemen, riding at 160 pounds over one and one-sixteenth miles. This is followed by the Sandy Baldwin Memorial for Novice Timber horses, about three miles; the Woodley Challenge Trophy, First Colony Series for ownerriders over hurdles, about two miles; and the Blue Ridge Ladies Race, about three miles. The fifth race is the George P. Greenhalgh Memorial for Gentlemen owner-riders, about three miles. This race counts towards the Seven Corners Championship for the Challenge Trophy presented by the Arundel newspapers. Next is the Blue Ridge Hunt Open Hurdle Race at about 1 y* miles over natural hurdles, followed by the last race of the day. The Blue Ridge Hunt Open Timber Race, about three miles. Attention Working Dog Enthusiasts The United States Border Collie Club will hold its third sheep dog training clinic on April 14, 15 and 16 at Sunnybrook Farm, White Post, Virginia. Lewis Pence of Sidney, Ohio, will again be the instructor. Pence instructed the clinic held by the club in September and all the participants were so enthusiastic it was voted to have two clinics a year. Pedce is a highly respected breeder and trainer of Border Collies, and has been a very successful sheep dog trials competitor all over the United States. He won the much coveted Blue Grass Trials with his home bred Border Collies in 1966, 1970 and 1972. A retired sheep shearer and dipper by trade, he conducts clinics throughout the country to help start the training of Border Collies and Australian Shepherds as working stock dogs. The clinic is limited to 22 dogs and 21 have already signed up. Dogs will be coming from Pennsylvania, Long Island, Ohio, North Carolina, and Maryland as well as Virginia.

To the editor Having returned to my native Rappahannock alter many yean, I have, of course, noticed many interesting changes. But the most Intriguing change must surely be, as we learn from your headline of February 9th, tnat Muaents nere rcnorm Above Their Ability" nowl I assure you that, when I attended Flint Hill Elementary School and Washington High School, Rappahannock students didn’t perform above their ability, not even “insignificantly.” We were encouraged by pur teachers to “surpass yourselves," to “lift yourselves by your own bootstraps,” to “strive for the impossible,” etc. but somehow we just never were able to do more than we could do. How refreshing to learn that a break-through on this age old problem has been discovered by our educators in Rappahannock Countyl Remarkably enough, this headline accurately summarizes the headlined news story, as is usual with the Rappahannock News. (You do not get involved in the newspaper “Comedy of Erros” described in your editorial in the same issue, do you?) Could it just be, therefore, that our educators have tricked you into publishing a ludicrous headline by at* tempting to set up "ability levels" for whole masses of students without thinking first that ability is the most personal and most individual characteristic of human beings, not to mention horses and hounds? Why, they might just as well adopt a regulation requiring boys and girls to be the samel To measure the effort put forth by an individual student or to ir« tsure individual IQ’s is ne thing; the “grade” c>b. aned will indicate either or both. But to try to conceal either or both of these things behind group "ability levels” does no one any good and, in fact, is treason to our students. If a student does his very best and gets only a “C”, let us recognize and applaud him. But let us not slip him an "A” under some contrived formula to make him and his parents feel good; when he faces the real “A’s” in life after school he will be a very confused a.nd bitter young person, if sve do. Having the same diploma as the real “A”, he “knows” that his failure to achieve the same advancement in his work is caused by something else that is not his fault, i.e., discrimination of some kind. Ski Permit Gets Thumbs Down (Continued trom rage u a memorandum to the Planners that described the ski area’s rezoning in 1973 from conservation to commercial as inadvertent and accomplished “without full knowledge and specific consideration” of the Supervisors. In the memorandum, the BZA members maintained that commercial development of the property wasn’t feasible due to topography and lack of essential services and facilities. Further, they held the commercial zoning incompatible with the overall conservation district zoning of the area and inconsistent with the zoning ordinance’s purpose and intent. They also noted that taxes at the commercial rate have been levied on only 20 acres of the property although it contains more than 300 acres and concluded “a tremendous potential impact on Rappahannock County is inherent in the present commercial zoning.” In conclusion, the BZA members recommended that the commercial zoning be reevaluated by first the Planners and then the Board of Supervisors, apparently with downzoning in mind. SkHng Denied? Despite the clear wording in the BZA's denial of the use permit as submitted, confusion has arisen. Douglas Baumgardner, attorney for the ski area, immediately asked for clarification of the BZA’s ruling after Thursday’s meeting. He was told by Muth and BZA Chairman Josef Gardiner that the denial covered rights to a ski operation and other uses allowed legally under the grandfather clause prior to the area’s last bankruptcy several years ago. "I asked the same question two or three times to make sure there was no mistake on what the ruling was,” Baumgardner later maintained. In a telephone interview Monday night, Admiral Gardiner reversed his previous position and insisted that ’’the only things we denied were the new things he (Moore) asked for...By the grandfather clause, he has the right to operate a ski area” with all other uses that existed on the property at the time the zoning ordinance was adopted in 1973. "He didn’t need to ask for those in the tirst place, tne bz,a chairman maintained. The denial of the special permit concerned only new requested uses—specifically the snowless Alpine slide, Gardiner said. “That’s what we focused on and that’s what we denied,” he stated. Other BZA members contacted on Tuesday weren’t so sure. Both Hal Forward and George Muth interpreted Thursday’s unanimous vote as a denial of ALL the uses—including skiing— asked for in the application submitted December 27. According to Muth, the other BZA members (including Gardiner) concurred with this position. There is a further question regarding Admiral Gardiner’s contention that the ski area already had the right, under the grandfather clause to resume skiing operations without a use oermit. According to Article 14 of the zoning ordinance, “if any nonconforming use (structure or activity) is discontinued for a period exceeding one year after the enactment of this ordinance, it shall be deemed abandoned and any subsequent use shall conform to the requirements of this ordinance.” Therefore, it appears that Moore does need a special permit before he can reopen the ski area as simply a ski area without an Alpine slide and other summer support activities. When asked if Moore planned to appeal the BZA’s denial to the circuit court, Baumgardner said his client had made “no firm decision with respect to what action, if any, will be taken as a result of the denial by the Board of Zoning Appeals of the application for a special use permit.” Because of the zoning ordinance’s provisions regarding abandoned nonconforming uses, Baumgardner said Moore requested a use permit for skiing and other uses that had been previously allowed under the ordinance’s grandfather clause. “Although there may be some doubt as to whether the ski corporation needed to apply for a use permit for skiing or for any other use sought, including the Alpine slide, it has been Mr. Moore’s position from the outset that he wanted to resolve any doubt in favor of complying wttn provisions oi the zoning ordinance,” said Baumgardner. Moore took this position, he maintained, “with full knowledge that he could have installed the Alpine slide and put the property to all other uses sought without being prosecuted for a violation of the zoning ordinance.” Reasonable Conditions p Baumgardner maintained that Moore had dealt with the county in good faith by amending his original application to reflect what he thought was the thinking of the BZA. “From the outset, he indicated he was willing to accept any reasonable condition set by the Board,” claimed Moore’s attorney. By denying the use permit application in its entirety, Baumgardner continued, the BZA has deprived the ski corporation of its right to use the property for not only an Alpine slide but also for skiing. “The Board has also taken one additional step,” said Baumgardner. “In spite of the fact that the law doesn’t contemplate an ‘inadvertent’ zoning, the Board has made a finding of fact that the present commercial zoning of the ski area was done inadvertently and without the full knowledge of the Board of Supervisors. On the strength of this finding, the Board evidently recommends a downzioning ot the ski area property. This recommendation has been made in spite of the fact that the Board has no power to make such a irecommendation.” Baumgardner maintained that a commercial district is the only logical designation for the ski area property under the county’s existing zoning categories. “To contend that the Supervisors placed this property in a commercial district ’inadvertently’ is tantamount to charging the Board with incompetence or at the very least with not having read the zoning ordinance prior to acting on it,” Baumgardner contended. “At this point, Baumgardner concluded, “M». Moore can only review his limited alternatives.” Should Moore appeal the B2'.A’s denial to the Circuit Court, the presiding judge would not be restricted to either upholding or rejecting the action. According to the county zoning ordinance, “the court may reverse or affirm, wholly or partly, or may modify the decision brought up for review.” Col. E. P. Luke, Chairman of the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors, said last Friday that he intended to place the ski area issue on the Supervisor’s agenda for the meeting scheduled March 2. Drought-Hit Farmers Can Get Tax Relief Virginia farmers whose farms are, located in the areas of the state that were declared state drought disaster areas by the President this past summer may be eligible for some tax relief this year. Commissioner S. Mason Carbaugh of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Commerce noted that the Internal Revenue Service has a special provision available for livestock producers who were forced to sell their cattle because of lack of feed during the summer. The provisions of the law state that if the farmers have records indicating that because of the drought they sold more cattle than would be their regular business practice, the farmer can elect to declare the proceeds of the sale in the 1978 year rather than on taxes due in 1977. There are three conditions that must be met to be eligible for the tax aid. One, the livestock producer must use the cash method of accounting. Two, they must be able to establish that under their usual business practices the sale or exchange would not have occurred except for the drought conditions. Three, the drought conditions must have resulted in their area that has been designated as eligible for assistance by the Federal government. Commissioner Carbaugh made the statement today after receiving numerous inquiries from Virginia fanners. He pointed out that if there is any question the fanner should contact his tax consultant or the local IRS office, or by calling the IRS toll-free 1-800-552-9500. FireRescue On Friday, Feb. 10, the Sperryville Rescue Squad took James Dodson from his home in Sperryville to Warren Memorial Hospital. On Feb. 11, this squad carried Lee Foster from his home in Sperryville to Warren Memorial Hospital. The Flint Hill Fire Dept was called to a house fire on Rt. 606 near Flint Hill on Sunday evening, Feb. 12. But, regrettable as it may be, he will not be made President of his firm or Governor of his State becanse the stockholders or voters fed sorry for him or want to make him and his parents fed good. This problem of meaningless diplomas is a real and tragic one already, as we know, and it is a problem caused by our betrayal of our young people in the education system, not by the students themselves. ROBERT WOODFORD EASTHAM Pro ERA To the editor: In a letter to a constituent who had written to him concerning the Equal Rights Amendment, our Senator Nathan Miller indicated his opposition to the Amendment in part because of the “biological differences” between men and women. Does he also advocate limited citizenship for handicapped people or for persons of certain ethnic origins on the basis of "differences"? This allegedly impaired physiology of American women seems to account for the United States’ lowest percentage of women working in law, medicine, engineering and the professions among all the major nations in the world. In spite of laws which should protect women from discrimination, men hold ninety-siz percent of the over$15,000-a-year jobs in the U.S. If you support ratification t of the Equal Rights Amendment, please write to Senator Miller. The United States has for too long shamelessly based its ideology op “life, liberty and the pursuiftof happiness for all,” while uking women as a poorly paid pool of cheap labor limiting them in education, job opportunities, advancement, working and retirement benefits; discriminating against them in insurance rates and ' inheritance laws; maintaining restrictive property and business laws; and paying them lower social security returns. Senator Miller hasn’t lifted a finger to help women working in the home or on the job. The Equal Rights Amendment is in committee for the sixth consecutive year in Virginia. It’s time it’s voted out of committee and, hopefully, passed. A silent voice only supports the opponents of the Equal Rights Amendment. Senator Nathan Miller 218 E.

Dir No 7852 clause in tederal target prices and loan limits on basic agricultural products, and in programs in which the Federal Government undertakes to support perishable farm commodity markets by purchases,” the 7th District Representative said. Robinson said he was joining in sponsorship of a bipartisan bill to establish such an escalator. Chairman Jamie Whitten (D., Miss.) and Rep. Mark Andrews of North Dakota, ranking Republican member of the House Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee on which Robinson serves were the original sponsors. “I want to stress that I am not committed irretrievably to this approach, but I think it is worth exploring, because we cannot permit farmers to lag farther and farther behind those groups in the ’ economy that have at least some cushion against inflation in the form of cost-ofliving adjustments to their incomes,” Robinson said. “Hearings on a wide range of proposals now pending might well establish another plan, or combination of plans, as more effective and fiscally acceptable,” he added. The Robinson-backed bill would tie target and loan prices of the 1977 Agriculture Act for wheat, feed grains, upland cotton, rice, peanuts, soybeans and sugar to costof-living increases in the public and private sectors and increases in the minimum wage. The Secretary of Agriculture also would be given broadened authority to use “Section 32” funds (30 per cent of import duty collections) in an effort to maintain market prices for perishable farm commodities at levels reflecting such costof-living adjustments or i minimum wage boosts. "I still should like to see us move away from heavy federal involvement in management of the agricultural economy, but it is clear that something must be done now to assist the many farmers who find themselves in a desperate financial squeeze,” Robinson said.

S. farmers spent almost S89 billion in 1976 to raise crops, livestock, and poultry, according to an estimate by the U. S. Department of Agriculture and the Virginia Crop and Livestock Reporting Service. Production expenditure information is a major ingredient in determining net farm income and is used as a guide in computing the parity index and other factors about the farmer’s position in the national economy. Hazel Broyles of the Virginia Crop and Livestock Reporting Service will be contacting several farmers in Rappahannock County during February and March in an effort to establish production expenditure levels for 1977. Some producers will be asked a series of questions about their marketing practices for livestock, field crops, fruits and vegetables. Hazel Broyles added that all answers secured during the interviews will be confidential and only State and national summaries will be published.

We are asking for specific reductions by commercial and industrial customers. We have taken this action because our coal supplies have reached dangerously low levels as a result of the miners' strike which began December 6, 1977. And we use coal to produce 95 percent of your supply of electricity. Even if negotiators in the strike reach a settlement, it takes about 10 days for a ratification vote and, if approved, an additional week or more before coal is received in any appreciable amounts. The complete cooperation of each customer will help us stretch our stockpiles so that we can continue supplying power to vital community services and some power to all customers. Our request to commercial and industrial customers is to: • Turn back heating thermostats to 68 degrees — even lower when business is closed * Eliminate all outdoor flood and advertising lighting — except for the bare minimum needed for protection and safety and a single lighted sign to identify the place of business * Turn off show window and display lighting • Reduce general lighting in stores and offices to minimum functional levels • Reduce parking lot lighting to minimum functional levels • Keep to a minimum those activities — building cleaning, maintenance, restocking, etc. — which would require heating and lighting beyond normal working hours • Curtail after-dark sports, entertainment, and recreational activities • Close public museums, art galleries, and historic buildings which require heating and lighting • Operate stores and other places of business for no more than six days a week with a maximum of 54 hours of operation a week. Here's what residential customers can do to continue conserving electricity at home during this emergency: • Lower thermostats to 68 degrees — even lower at night • Use dishwashers, washers, and dryers only when needed and only for full loads • Eliminate use of unneeded indoor lights and outdoor lights not needed for safety • Turn off TV sets and radios not in use. These are just a few ways to conserve electricity. Were certain you'll think of others. Potomac Edison Part of the Allegheny Power System

The easiest to force include witch hazel. Cornelian cherry, red maple, forsythia, honeysuckle, pussy willow and flowering almond. These come into bloom first out* doors, when the weather moderates. It takes longer—about four weeks—to force flowering quince, lilac, redbud, and bridal wreath spirea. Generally, Five weeks are required for forcing flowering dogwood, cherry, crabapple and pear into bloom. Select branches that have the most flower buds. The larger, fatter buds usually are flower buds, and the smaller ones leaf buds. A few branches taken from a medium sized shrub will not be missed. Branches should not be cut when the weather is below freezing outdoors. If the stems are frozen, thaw them gradually before exposing them to warm temperatures. This can be accomplished by running cold water over them immediately. Use sharp pruning shears to remove the branches. Make the cut flush with the trunk or main branch so that no stub is left. A clean, flush cut will heal rapidly. After collecting the branches, bring them indoors and smash, crush or split the lower few inches of the stems to increase the area exposed for water absorption. Then moisten the buds and branches by immersing them in 8 to 10 inches of water (warm) (100 F.) for at least 24 hours. Crushed stems may then be placed in a pail of water at room temperature for the remaining period of forcing. A piece of charcoal placed in the water will aid in keeping it sweet. Change the water every two or three days. The branches should be kept in a relatively cool (60 to 70 degrees) area. Warmer temperatures will cause buds to develop rapidly but at the expense of size, color and keeping quality. At higher temperatures it is more difficult to maintain high humidity and this results in bud drop. During the first few days of forcing, syringing the branches (several times daily) with warm water will aid in best development of the buds. An alternative method of preparing the branches is to spray them with water several times each day after keeping them in pails of warm water for the first two or three days. A piece of damp burlap should be wrapped loosely around the branches to keep the air humid. This method is particularly good if you are preparing a large number of branches. With either method, one-quarter to one half inch of the stem should be cut off and the water changed every two or three days. Good light is important for the branches, but no sunlight. The heat of the sun's rays on a clear, sunny day is too intense for good forcing, and will fade the flowers. When some color is evident, the branches can be removed from the pails and arranged in containers for display. Taking them from the pails will reduce the number of flowers that are bruised or broken. Keep the arrangements fat a cold place in the evening and during the day when you are not home to increase keeping time.

Although it i perfectly legal to right-turn-on-red in Virginia unlew specifically prohibited by appropriate signs, the Department of State Police reports troopers are finding it necessary to issue summonses to apparently surprised motorists. The problem, according to the State Police, is not the proper right turn, but the fact that many motorists are beginning to utilize unpaved shoulders to carry out the maneuver. Approaching one or more vehicles stopped tor a traffic light at an intersection, motorists are palling off the highway onto the unpaved shoulder and advancing to the traffic light to turn right on red. It’s illegal to pass by driving off the pavement or main travelled portion of the roadway and doing so presents quite a few hazards for the motorist making the turn as well as for other motorists at the intersection.

Last year was the first time the credit was offered. “We think there may have been some confusion about who is eligible,” E. a. Dore, director of the income tax division said. “You do not have to be retired to qualify for the credit.” This credit, or reduction in the amount of tax owed, is designed to provide a comparable tax break to all elderly Virginians, regardless of their source of income. In the past, limited earnings, social security benefits and private pension plans were given unequal tax treatment. To a typical 65-year-oldindividual with S2.000 of social security benefits and an adjusted gross income (income subject to tax) of $8,500, this credit could mean almost a $150 reduction in his total state income tax bill. A taxpayer’s age, taxable income, and any retirement benefits are considered in determining his eligibility and in computing the amount of credit due. Since tax relief is aimed at middle to lower income groups, the amount of this credit begins to decrease as taxable income increases over $12,000. Individuals with taxable incomes of $14,500 or more are not eligible for this credit.
