A 24-year old woman lost her life in the collision. Traffic Crash Victim Dies A tragic traffic collision in Amissville Thursday night took the life of one person and injured two others. The victims were pinned in their car for an hour and a quarter before they could be removed. Vivian Bernice Allen, 24, of Amissville died of massive head injuries following the crash, which occurred in front of Hackley’s Store. According to Trooper R. A. Baines, Mrs. Allen was a passenger in a 1971 Oldsmobile driven by her husband, Robert Allen. The vehicle was traveling east on Rt. 211 when Allen lost control of the car and ran under the rear of a 1976 month old baby was later discovered under the dashboard unharmed. Amissville Rescue Squad responded to the accident, assisted by a Warrenton unit, transported the victims to the Fauquier Hospital. Mrs. Allen was being transferred to the University of Virginia Hospital, Charlottesville when she died cnroute. , The car wos totally ' demolished and the truck had undetermined damage to the rear bumper and left rear axle. The pickup, owned and operated by Louis Jenkins, of Amissville had a damaged left rear fender. Jenkins was not injured. White flat-bed truck parked in front of the store. The impact pushed the truck into a 1974 Chevrolet pickup that had just entered the parking lot. The car was wedged under the rear of the truck. Before the victims could be extricated, a fork lift from Judd’s sawmill had to be secured to lift the truck from the car. '"“Mr. Allen sustained lacerations of the head, face and arms, according to Trooper Baines. A foul year old boy was found on the back seat of the car with the windshield wrapped around him. He suffered face, head and arm lacerations. A four School Budget Hearing The Rappahannock School Board will hold a public hearing on the proposed school budget for the coming year on Tuesday, March 28, at 7:30 p.m. in the elementary school library. Copies of the proposed budget will be available for public examination at Tuesday’s hearing. Superintendent of Schools Dr. William Bloomer emphasized that budget information will not be released before that time. Crafts Group The Arts and Crafts group will meet on Tuesday, March 28 at Cab-Inn at 10 a.m. Public Hearing Scheduled For Davis Rezoning At a special meeting held Wednesday, March 15, the 'Rappahannock Supervisors agreed in executive session to hold a public hearing on April 6—the next regular meeting date of the board —to consider a rezoning application from Dorothy C. Davis. Mrs. Davis’s request involves 3.55 acres located at the eastern end of Route 683 and junction with Route 211, about one-half mile east of Washington. The property is currently zoned agriculture. Mrs. Davis is asking that it be rezoned to business and proposes to use the existing buildings for Antiques—repair, refinishing, retail and wholesale; Arts and Crafts—retail and wholesale; Farmers Market; Single family residence; and other uses related to or compatible with above listed [ uses. Patrolling Allowed The year-old controversy over mileage reimbursement between the Rappahannock Sheriffs Department and Commonwealth Attorney George Davis appears to have jumped from the back burner all the way off the stove. The Virginia General Asssembly voted in the last session to allow mileage payment from the State Compensation Board for patrolling "performed at the direction of the sheriff." In February, 1977, Davis warned the county Supervisors against approving mileage claims submitted by Sheriff W. A. Buntin to the Compensation Board. Davis contended that state policy disallowed payment unless the mileage was accumulated in patrolling or policing ‘'residences and businesses in response to a specific complaint. Rappahannock’s Commonwealth Attorney argued that patrolling was the province of the Virginia State Police. If the county wanted to assume this job, he contended that the county Ordinance Review Continues Protect Slopes Or Prime Farm Land? By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The Rappahannock Planning Commission, in an ongoing review of the county’s zoning and subdivision ordinances, heard more suggestions on controlling the county’s future growth from Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis. At last Wednesday’s session, Davis put forward the possibility of forbidding development on prime agricultural land while also restricting subdivisons to land with less tban seven per cent slope. Davis again proposed that a second look be given at the classification of farm land. In Rappahannock, said Davis, there are “only 10,000 acres of prime farm land, “according to the definition from so-called farm experts.” Some property included in agricultural designations is really intermediate land, primarily good for pasture and orchards, he contended. Davis also suggested that an attempt be made to distinguish between the developer "who acquires land for the sole purpose of developing it into small lot subdivisions” and the developer who wants to sell off a building lot from a parcel not purchased solely for development purposes. “That’s the part 1 don’t see will stand up” from a legal basis, responded Planner Newbill Miller. "We’ll have to see that it will,” Davis answered, adding that there were several ways this could be done. Davis emphasized that he was not making a recommendation, just presenting alternative suggestions to the Planners. Smaller Lot Size “You might want to cut down on lot size to save some farm land,” Davis continued. "Prime farm land is also prime development land—there are no two ways about it.” He also suggested that the Planners consider permitting uses on agricultural land "that will not jeopardize its return to agricultural use.” “Are you saying that a man with 200 acres of prime ag land can only farm it?” asked Planner Walter Masterson. "Not necessarily,” Davis answered. He contended, however, that the county could decide “for the good of the county” to prohibit subdivision development on prime agricultural property. Planning Commission Chairman Herbert Barksdale asked Davis if he thought this approach would hold up, if tested in the courts. As justification, Davis pointed to the State’s adoption of the Agriculture and Forestal District Act. He contended that this set state policy for the preservation of ALL OF THE ELECTRIC LINES IN RAPPAHANNOCK are being checked by the power company using a small helicopter to fly the corridors. Damage from fallen trees and deterioration are being checked on all lines, even those leading to residences. It is »miring how much can happen to the lines, and according to a company spokesman, many irregularities have been discovered during the inspection. The helicopter landed at the Sperryville Emporium lot Tuesday to check maps and copter before resuming flight. agricultural and forestal land as such. He also maintained that the Water Control Act aimed at protecting surface and underground water from pollution and the Ecology Act both would support efforts to preserve agricultural land. Rappahannock’s entire land area is approximately 177,000 acres, Davis noted. "When you take out park land, highway land and public property, we have approximately 135,000 acres for tax purposes and a lot of that has already been subdivided,” he said. There are only about 21,000 acres in the county under 14 per cent slope, Davis continued, adding that "a substantial portion of this was in isolated parcels set on plateaus and on the tops of mountains. Rappahannock County just doesn't have much land adaptable for subdivision into small lots," he main lainca. "How can we allow one man to cut off a lot and not another?” asked Planner Dave Fannon. Approval of land division depends on the “suitability of the property,” Davis countered, at the same time acknowledging that the county couldn’t pass an ordinance prohibiting the construction of any new houses in Rappahannock. Allowing smaller lot sizes will create a tax situation that will drive Rappahannock’s farmers into bankruptcy, argued Fannon N* Development Oa Slopes Davis agreed that there would have to be a "cut off point’’ and suggested it be related to topography. “You could say no development on land over seven per cent slope,” he proposed. "Then you get into prime farm land...I think we could say that you can't have a sub division on prime farm land.” But if this occured, Davis continued, all the land surrounding the prime farm land would be developed. ‘‘Then, who’s going to farm?” the Commonwealth’s Attorney asked. ‘‘We have difficult problems,” Davis acknowledged. “Just because they’re difficult doesn’t mean they can’t be overcome legally.” "Working our ordinance based on prime farm land would be futile—We have such a limited amount left,” argued Miller. The ordiances could be based on slope requirements (Continued on Page 9) would also have to assume responsibility for the total mileage bill instead of just one-third. After the Supervisors continued to approve Sheriff Buntin’s mileage reimbursement requests, Davis threatened to sue both the Sheriffs Department and individual Supervisors. In March, 1977, he ordered an investigation of Rappahannock’s law enforcement office by the State Police and an audit of the Department by the Compensation Board. The State Police investigation brought no results. However, in September, local law enforcement agencies throughout the state received notification that “mileage accumulated in routine checking of private (Continued on Page -9) The county Planning Commission members approved another public hearing on Mrs. Davis’ application and set their meeting date for April 5 at 3 p.m. in the courthouse. Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis, whose wife is requesting the rezoning, explained to the Planners that April 5 was the only date they could schedule the public hearing in order to meet county regulations. (Article 17 of the Rappahannock Zoning Ordinance requires that all applications far change of zoning district boundaries be heard at a legally advertised public hearing before the Planning Commission. The Planners are also required to submit a recommendation to the Supervisors who must hold another legally advertised public hearing on the rezoning. The Code of Virginia states that legal advertisement is advertising far two successive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation within the county and further requires that the advertised public hearing be held not less than six days or more than 21 days after the second advertisement.) At the Planning Commission meeting, Davis asked if the Planners had any objections to the April 5 meeting date. “That doesn’t give us much time—if any—to mak< a recommendation to the Supervisors,” Dave Fannon responded. He also commented on the wide latitude of the rezoning request. “You could put in anything related to food sales or antiques,” Fannon said, specifically mentioning a chain food store as a possible permitted use ifvthe rezoning was approved. After the Planners agreed to the special public hearing date—two weeks in advance of their regularly scheduled meeting on the third Wednesday in the month —Fannon warned Davis that he should expect some complaints. “I’d be disappointed if I didn’t,” responded the Commonwealth Attorney. Drug Program A Community Drug Awareness Program has been scheduled for Monday evening, April 3, in the Rappahannock Elementary School auditorium beginning at 7:30.

Tempers Flare At BZA Meeting Angry accusations and charges were tossed back and forth at last Thursday’s meeting of the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals as tempers exploded over recent action by the Supervisors to intervene in two suits against the BZA. Col. E. P. Luke, chairman of the Supervisors, came into the meeting at the close of the short agenda. He was immediately confronted by the BZA members with questions on the Supervisors intervention in a suit brought by P. E. Steve DeMent against the Board. DeMent is fighting revocation of his special use permit by the BZA. Court records show that a petition to intervene, signed by Commonwealth Attorney George Davis, was granted to the Supervisors by judge Rayner V. Snead on October 6, 1977. Snead entered the order on March 13 and set a hearing date for May. Luke indicated that he knew nothing about the intervention in the DeMent case. He had attended Thursday’s BZA meeting to discuss another intervention—this time by the Supervisors in the ski area suit against the BZA. However, Luke wanted to talk in executive session. BZA member George Muth reminded the group that the law is very specific about closed sessions and said if the Commonwealth’s Attorney would show them where they could legally go into executive session they would do so. (The Freedom of Information Act, Code of Virginia, section 2.1-344 states that executive or closed meetings may be held for "‘consultation with legal counsel and briefings by stnfl ■•■ban, consultants oi attorneys, pertaining tc actual potential litigation, 01 other legal matters within the jurisdiction of the public body.”—emphasis added). To every question thrown out about the DeMent suit by BZA members, Luke stated that he would talk only with his counsel present and that Commonwealth’s Attorney Davis should come upstairs to the meeting only if the BZA went into executive session. Again Muth said if Davis could show them how they could legally do so, they would. Davis refused to come upstairs to the meeting, after word was sent down to him. "Why don’t you go home and stay there if Davis is going to run the county?” inquired Hal Forward of Luke. “Are we both working for the same county? Why would you permit this?” asked George Muth. "I am here to discuss the ski area and 1 do not think it is advantageous to let the other side Know wnat we re doing," said Luke. Questions about a secret meeting Wednesday with Luke, Davis and some of the members of the Board of Supervisors present went unanswered by Luke, except he did say that what he wanted to do was preclude a great big argument with George (Davis). The BZA acting chairman James Massie, sent down to the Rappahannock News office for copies of the paper containing news concerning action between the county attorney and attorney for the ski area, stating that this was how they found out what was going on. They had not been informed by any court order. The next conversation centered around funds for legal counsel for the BZA since the county attorney had already said he could not represent them. It was noted that the two thousand dollars (Continued on Page 9)

I Ten years ago, Gertie’s 'aunt gave her a decorated cut-out egg and that started iter \''disease.” She call# it “eoaitis." Symptoms include an almost overwhelming urge to decorate egg shells. “It’s fascinating just making them,” she said. “The' more you do, the more ideas just keep coming.” Gertie declares that she’s never had any lessons in egg art but with her talent, she could give classes herself.

The tradition oi giving eggs began in ancient times and varies from country to country. In China, parents distributed red f colored eggs as birth announcements in much the $ame way as a proud American poppa passes out cigars. Peter Carl Faberge, a Russian jeweler, is the most renowned egg decorator. His eighteenth century jeweled eggs were collected by three tsars and examples of his work are included in the permanent collection of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond. Gertrude Poling’s eggs evoke the Faberge feeling. In her hands, costume jewelry, colored glass and paper cutouts end up looking like precious stones. “It’s not hard,” she said. “Just time consuming.” The Artist’* Secrets First, either puncture the egg on both ends and blow out the contents or cut an opening and empty the egg. (Gertrude prefers working with goose eggs because she likes their size and texture. She scrambles the insides and feeds them to the crows.) To cut any openings in the egg shell, Gertrude uses a Dremel tool with a point and emory wheel and a pair of sharp pointed scissors. She advises using a face mask when working with the Dremel tool to avoid inhaling egg dust. If she wants a hinged opening, she cuts out a square piece of the egg and glues it into place. "For decorating, I use almost anything I can get my hands on,” said Gertie. In her kitchen-workroom, there are drawers upon drawers of miniature objects and tiny jewels that she has collected over the years. She also uses paper. “Choose any card, magazine or whatever appeals to you,” she said. Apply six coats of Decal, according to directions, and let dry overnight.

Then, continued Gertrude, put Decal on the shell and lay the design on it. Smooth out the design with a cloth, wipe off excess Decal and then let dry completely. Next, Gertie said to coat the egg with six applications of Egg Sheen at 15 minute intervals and dry overnight. The next day, sand the egg with wet sand paper until it is smooth, add three more coats of Egg Sheen and then sand again with wet paper. Finally, spray with two coats of oriental lacquer. The finished product looks like the finest porcelain egg. Gertie then adds jewels or other trimmings and has a work of art fit for a king. Her pride and joy is a wedding egg that she made for her youngest daughter. It’s a large goose egg with three openings and a bride and groom in the center. It’s trimmed with seed pearls, on rhinestones and jewels, toppied with a gold cross. Eggs Everywhere Gertie’s latest project is designing an egg for each month of the year. As an example, the egg for October is dyed orange and has a Halloween scene inside.

Gertie loves making her special eggs for church bazaars and for friends. At Christmas, she presented Rappahannock Sheriff W. A. Buntin with a law enforcement egg. This contained the picture of a badge and the picture of the Sheriff and each of his deputies. Sheriff Buntin was so thrilled with the gift that he had her make a copy for everyone on his staff.

Davis further contends that the sign is within the town limits of Washington and therefore, subject to regulations of the town, rather than county, zoning ordinance. The town ordinance, adopted in July, 1970, stipulates that signs advertising businesses located in Washington are permitted by right. The town ordinance does not include any setback requirements. Washington’s zoning ordinance also authorizes the County Administrator to serve as Zoning Administrator for the town. Under the Rappahannock Zoning Ordinance, sigps advertizing local businesses are permitted by right provided the sign has less than 20 square feet in area. The county ordinance also requires a 55 foot setback from the right of way of any highway or street having a right of way greater than 50 feet. The Lake Motel sign is well within 55 feet of Route 211. When contacted on Tuesday, Col. McNear denied that his signature on the Highway Department permit constituted authorization for the motel sign. He noted that the Highway Department would not allow any sign within at least 1,000 feet of Route 211 because of Federal regulations.

The tract is located across the Thornton River' from the Rappahannock Farmers’ Coop outside Sperryville, and was once a part of Mt. Vernon Farms. Miller has announced that he intends to donate the payment for his property to a charitable foundation. Funds for the sewer project have been obtained through grants from the Environmental Protection Agency, HUD and Farmers Home Administration. No county money was involved in the land purchase. County Engineer Fanning Baumgardner said funding for the final design work was expected any day. He estimated that construction would be under way within a year, adding that reviews by state and federal agencies would be a determining factor in the time frame. Sewage will be treated in an aerated lagoon using pipes laid along the bottom to bubble oxygen up through the effluent. The system will be virtually odor free. Baumgardner explained that it is anaroebic treatment—digestion without oxygen similar to that in a septic tank—that creates odors. Aerobic treatment—digestion with oxygen that occurs in aerated lagoons—does not. Special sensors will determine when oxygen levels within the lagoon are down and will then automatically activate the air bubble release pipes. After aeration, the effluent will be further treated with chlorine before discharge into the Thornton River. Baumgardner noted that, theoretically, the final effluent will be pure enough to drink. As the five acre plant site is in a floodplain, the sewage treatment lagoon will not be excavated. Instead, it will be built up with a dike to protect the system from flooding. The five foot deep lagoon will be enclosed in a woven wire fence topped with strands of barbed wire. The cI^eal Estate $t/een dl. ^a/f mwmmmmmm REALTOR WHAT GOES WITH HOUSE? Real estate is usually defined as the land and everything attached to it, such as: buildings, trees, shrubs, etc. The buyer normally gets all of the real estate, but none of the owner’s personal property. The problem arises when personal property has become a part of the real estate. This is called a fixture and does pass with the real estate. There are three usual test which must be satisfied. Has the personal property been per* manently annexed to the real estate? Is it intended to become part of the real estate? And finally, what is the local custom? Usual fixtures might include: shades, heaters, ranges, screens, storm windows, lighting fixtures, etc. It is important that the seller spell out specifically in his sales agreement exactly what he intends to give to the buyer as part of real estate. This will save misunderstanding at the closing, and sometimes save a sale. ■*' If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M. DAY.

An evergreen windbreak will surround the entire perimeter. Baumgardner noted that operation of the sewage treatment plant will enhance the recreational value o'f the Thornton River, now dangerously polluted with raw sewage from malfunctioning septic field discharge. After this raw sewage discharge stops, it will be safe for people to enter the stream and pick out the accumulated garbage, metal and bottles that now litter the river course. Once the Thornton River is clean again, trout may return to Sperryville. Carson Johnson, one of the county’s premier trout fishermen, remembers the Thornton as a stocked trout stream ten or 15 years ago. “The headwaters are still good trout fishing,” he reports, adding that he hadn’t seen any trout around the town for eight to ten years. After operation of the sewage treatment plant removes the danger of pollution, “there’s no reason why the Thornton couldn’t be a good trout stream all the way through town,” Johnson maintains.

Moo. - W. THURSDAY, MARCH 23,1978 Behind Closed Doors The Rappahannock Supervisors met in executive session on Wednesdays, March 15, and voted to have Commonwealth's Attorney George Davis intervene in the ski corporation’s suite against the county Board of Zoning Appeals. The next morning, at their regular meeting, the BZA members sent for six copies of the Rappahannock News to learn the details of the consent order apparently supported by the Supervisors. In the preliminary document drawn up by ski area attomies, the Rappahannock Ski Corporation agreed to drop its action against the BZA in exchange for favorable consideration by the Supervisors of building permits and occupancy permits for ALL the uses in the permit application submitted by the ski area. ii seems must uiiusual uioi uic members would learn of action to reverse their decision from the pastpublished local newspaper. The Rappahannock News has been taken to task recently for expressing an opinion on the legality of the BZA action turning down the ski area’s request in its entirety. While we are not lawyers, we try to confine our comments to matters of courtesy—and responsibility, too. All legal questions aside, the BZA members deserved the right to hear what the Supervisors were contemplating before it was an accomplished fact. These are men who in essence donate their time for the public’s benefit. We may sometimes quarrel with their deicisons but we realize that they’re performing a valuable public service—frequently with small thanks and little appreciation. We are certain that they believed that they were acting for the good of the county—and within their legal jurisdiction—when they turned down the ski area application for a snowless summer slide and other recreational support activities. Rappahannock’s Commonwealth Attorney sees the application denial in another light. That is “in his legal opinion.” He told this to the BZA members before they voted on the ski area application and they decided that his advice was incorrect. SUPERVISORS AGREE Obviously, the county Supervisors agree with Davis or they wouldn t have voted to intervene. But they’re not lawyers either. We thought that the Supervisors should get a second, outside opinion on whether the consent order was the very best the county could hope for with the ski area suit. Instead, the Supervisors decided not to authorize money to the BZA for another legal ruling. As a result, they have hung the BZA out on a line to dry. Rather than embarassing the BZA members by reversing the ski area application denial, the Supervisors should have scheduled a joint public hearing to inform the BZA of their reservations. They should also have solicited a second legal opinion. If another opinion supported Davis contention that the BZA’s action was indefen sable, then it was time to arrange a consent order. That’s not even close to the chain of events that actually occured. Since Davis had the consent order on his desk before the Supervisor’s executive session, it appears that he acted unilaterally to negotiate with the ski area before getting approval from the entire Board of Supervisors. On Wednesday, several concerned citizens were at the courthouse after learning of the planned meeting between the Supervisors and the Commonwealth’s Attorney. They were told by the Supervisor Chairman that they couldn't attend the executive session. If the meeting was closed from the outset, what happend to Virginia Freedom of Information Act requirements that call for a vote in open session before a governing body retires to private deliberations? If there was a vote taken in open session, why wasn’t the public allowed in for that portion of the meeting? COMMUNICATION FAILURE The Chairman of the Supervisors put in a better-Iate-than-never appearance at the BZA meeting on Hmrsday to explain his Board’s action. Col. E. P. Luke wanted to talk in executive session but the BZA members refused to go into a closed meeting without hearing from the Commonwealth’s Attorney on what constituted legal grounds for the executive session. George Davis refused to “come upstairs” to the courtroom, and so after a few angry words, Luke departed with discussing the consent order. This is no way to run county government. We must insist that laws relating to proper procedure and complete openness be observed. Rezoning Railroad Job At last week’s meeting of the Rappahannock Planners, Commonwealth s Attorney George Davis said he would be disappointed if there weren’t complaints about his wife’s application to rezone three and a half acres from agriculture to business. We’d certainly hate to disappoint Mr. Davis and so we’re going to be among the first to register disapproval over the way our county government is handling the rezoning application. Davis has spoken out time and again at public meetings against accomodation of developers. This time, however, it appears that Davis has found himself in the role of the developer seeking accomodation. And not only does it look like accomodation but also as an attempt to violate at least the intent of the county zoning ordinance—the same ordinance that Mr. Davis holds in such high regard. First, the Supervisors met in executive session last Wednesday and among other actions, authorized advertising for a public hearing on the Davis rezoning at the next Supervisors meeting. Since when have rezoning applications become a matter for the executive session? Unless Virginia freedom of information laws have changed in the last few davs. thev aren t. As a follow up, the Planners approved a special meeting date for their public hearing on the rezoning, setting the public hearing for the afternoon before the Supervisor meeting on April 6. The Rappahannock Zoning Ordinance states that the Planners SHALL submit a recommendation on all proposed rezonings to the governing body. As one of the Planners noted, “how can the Commission make any kind of recommendation to the Supervisors in less than 24 hours? ” To call this matter a “rush job” is an understatement. The county Planners have loaded the Davis rezoning application onto an “express train” and it has all the earmarks of a railroad job. Somebody ought to pull the emergency brake before Rappahannock citizens become firmly convinced that their government is one of men, not laws. The Little Fox Our Rappahannock Heritage =Letters To The Editor1 Justice Prevails To the editor: I would like to congratulate our Board of Supervisors on their stand on behalf of the people of Rappahannock County. Finally, justice has prevailed. It doesn’t take much to see that the BZA’s decision was contrary to the wishes of the great majority of Rappahannock citizens. Petitions containing over 530 signatures, almost 10 per cent of the county's population, were submitted for the ski area at the January 13 hearing. Also, a majority of those attending the hearing (a total attendance of over 120) indicated that they were in favor of the ski area proposal. The opposition appeared to consist primarily of those who attended and spoke out at the hearing. Although most of the opponents were property owners in Rappahannock, many of them were not even qualified to vote here because of the fact that they are domiciled elsewhere. Now the ELECTED representatives of the people have spoken. Democracy has prevailed. DIANE R. DeBERGH (Editor's note: As we remember the second public hearing conducted on the ski area application by the BZA, the audience appeared almost exactly divided between pros and cons, as indicated by a show of hands.) Controversy Unfortunate To the editor: It is unfortunate that the ski area controversy has degenerated into a clash of personalities rather than a calm consideration of facts. I feel that the BZA has made a decision that they feel is right for Rappahannock. I cannot criticize them for doing what they think is best. They and everyone else should remember, though, that nobody can be correct all of the time. The legal aspects of the ski area matter have to be considered, and it doesn’t take a lawyer to know that you can’t take a man’s property without paying for it. Let’s face it. The alpine slide is not going to destroy our way of life in Rappahannock. As a matter of tact, a good argument can be made that it will help us out by bringing in tax revenues, recreation and jobs. Most of the opponents of this proposal seem to be worried about what will come next. Well, even if something else does come, that’s another issue. The County will have to pass on it and the people will have their right to speak. There is no way that allowing someone the right to run a ski area and alpine slide (recreation) is going to make it easier to obtain the right to build condominums (high density residential). I think it’s time to stop being frightened of what might happen. We have to start looking at growth realistically, and in my mind that means growing along recreational, rather than high density residential, lines. Why run the risk of losing everything by being too zealous in opposing the type of progress that costs the least and helps the most in terms of our tax dollars and way of life? When we consider all of these factors, there can be no question but that the Supervisors, if they accept Mr. Baumgardner’s consent order, are proceeding in the best interests of the County. CARSON B. JOHNSON Day Care Center Attention working mothers of Rappahannock—particularly those who travel to jobs in Culpeper.

The Right To Know The recent activity of the I Board of Supervisors and the Commonwealth Attorney of Rappahannock County concerning the suit filed by the Rappahannock Ski Corporation against the County Board of Zoning Appeals raises both legal and moral issues of great importance to every citizen of the County. The Board of Zoning Appeals, after public hearings in which all Interested parties were given the opportunity to testify and to present evidence to the Board, rendered a unanimous decision to deny the Special Use Permit request presented to it by the Ski Corporation. The 1973 Zoning Ordinance gives the Board of Zoning Appeals the sole right to grant permits for those special uses listed in the zoning ordinance for each zoning district if and only if “the Board finds that the use for which the permit is sought, (1) will not be hazardous or injurious to or in conflict with the predominant character of the neighborhood, considering the sire and location of the use, the nature and intensity of the operation involved...its site layout and its relation to roads giving access to it; (2) will not adversely affect the health and safety of persons residing and working in the neighborhood of the proposed use; and (3) will not be detrimental to the public welfare...” (Section 10-13 of the 1973 Zoning Ordinance). The Board of Zoning Appeals found that the proposed activities for the Ski Area would be in conflict with these standards and therefore unanimously denied the Special Use Permit request. Now, however, the latest turn of events reveals that the County Board of Supervisors, based on the advice of the Commonwealth Attorney, Mr. George Davis, may be attempting to illegally strip the Board of Zoning appeals of its vested authority and to have its legally adopted decision reversed without any court proceedings through the acceptance of a consent order, prepared by the Ski Corporation attorney with the elp of our own Commonwealth Attorney. This attempt to subvert the legal iecision of a legally constituted body of the local government should be condemned. The Board of Supervisors should be reminded that until a court jf law decided otherwise, the County Zoning Ordinance is LAW. Any such attempt by the Board of Supervisors to overturn the BZA’s decision would be clearly illegal. This can only be done by a court of law, as provided in both the Zoning Ordinance and the State law. Aside from the legal questions raised by this turn of events, there is the underlying moral consideration. What was the purpose of the public hearings and what is the purpose of the Zoning Ordinance if a legally adopted decision can be undercut by a small group of men who meet behind closed doors in secret executive sessions without notice to the public? The laws are intended to safeguard the rights of the people, but if the Board of Supervisors and the Commonwealth Attorney feel that they can resolve all issues in total disregard for the law and the public's right to know, what protection is afforded to the citizens of the community? The Board of Supervisors should be reminded of Section 15.1-539 of the Code of Virginia which requires that all meetings of the Board of Supervisors shall be open to the public and Section 15.1-543 which provides that all of the minutes of all meetings shall be open to public inspection at any reasonable time for three years after each meeting. Executive sessions or meetings closed to the public are prohibited by State law except for a limited number of purposes. Nevertheless, Section 2.1-344 (b) states that “no meeting shall become an executive or closed meeting unleu there shall have been recorded in open meeting an affirmative vote to that effect by the public body holding such meeting.” Notwithstanding these laws designed to protect he public by giving them the "ight to know what their Supervisors are doing, the Board of Supervisors met on March 15 in a secret executive session and refused admittance to members of the public who asked to be admitted. There was no open meeting and no vote to go into executive session as required by law. During these meetings, it is rumored that the Board discussed the possibility of refusing to allocate funds for the BZA to obtain legal counsel to represent them in the suit filed by the Ski Corporation due to the fact that the Commonwealth Attorney refuses to defend the action. In addition, on the recommendation of the Commonwealth Attorney, the Board of Supervisors discussed intervening in the suit on the side of the Ski Corporation! However, all we have at this point are questions because Mr. Pete Luke, the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors refused to publicly confirm or deny what went on at the secret meeting of the Supervisors held on March 15th, even when asked by members of the Board of Zoning Appeals the following day. He stated that unless the BZA went into “executive session” neither he nor the Commonwealth Attorney would reveal what was discussed at the Supervisors meeting, notwithstanding the fact that the Zoning Ordinance, in Section 16-3-5, requires that all meeting of the BZA be open to the public. Irrespective of how you feel about the proposed development of the Ski Area, these recent examples of attempts by certain local government officials to sidestep procedures for open hearings and to subvert the legal decision of the BZA should be condemned. Freedom of information is the key to a free and democratic government. WERNER KREBSER AND OTHER CONCERNED CITIZENS

Nestor Samson was looking for a home in the county when he stumbled on Mrs. MacDonald’s place at Spenyville, up for sale after she decided to retire. Samson hadn't planned on running a restaurant in rural Virginia. Instead, he anticipated living in the country and possibly commuting into Washington, D.C., to work at a dinner establishment there. Luckily for people here, his plans changed. The city’s loss has turned out to be the country’s gain. “1 was planning to retire, looking for a house when I ran into this place,” said Samson. "My heart was still in the hospitality business—I couldn't turn down the opportunity.” Samson's remodeled and expanded Teepee on Route 211 just outside Sperryville caters to the family trade. "We offer more or less country cooking, what the people like to eat," said Samson. Serve* Request* Local patrons of the Teepee suggested many of the menu items. Samson said he's taken requests, look up recipes, then experimented and refined the directions until he had something that could be prepared in the Teepee’s kitchen. "Saturday is my experimental night,” Samson said. This is when he tries out more exotic international food as the daily special. ‘‘People let me know if it goes over and then I fix it again...So far, people are liking it,” he said. “Right now, the demand is for Mexicali chicken. My customers want it on Saturday, they want it on Sunday, they want it all the time!” Nestor Samson is uniquely qualified in international cuisine. His career in the U. S. Army took him all around the world, as manager of military clubs and restaurants from Southeast Asia to Europe. Samson’s choice of occupations, like his restaurant here in Rappahannock, was the result of chance. He was born in the Phillipines and came to the U. S. to study architectural engineering at a California university. Samson explained that he had the option of becoming either a citizen of the United States or a citizen of the Republic of the Philippines. He had always planned on returning to the Philippines after he finished his education and anticipated retaining his citizenship there. "But when I arrived here, I saw more opportunity for people who want to work so I decided to be a U. S. citizen.” At that point, Uncle Sam got into the act and welcomed the new citizen with a draft notice. “The trouble is, they put me in the mess hall,” Samson recalled. “I had no choice. I got involved with food and I kind of liked it so I decided I wanted to be a real good cook. Now I engineer food,” he joked. He began as a specialist in breakfast. As anyone with military experience knows, eating the morning meal in a mess hall is often a very lonely affair. Faced with a menu that’s centered around powdered eggs, cold cereal, limp toast and greasy bacon, most service men choose a few minutes of extra sleep. So when Samson’s cream beef on biscuits began to pack in soldiers first thing in the morning, the brass took notice. Soon The Bom "Then the club people heard about me and wanted me in the club system, even though I only knew how to cook breakfast,” Samson said. He worked in a NonCommissioned Officer’s Club for three months before his boss got into trouble. Samson was then appointed by the Post Commander to fill the vacancy as club manager. For the next 17 years, Samson managed NCO and officers’ clubs at Army installations throughout the world. He supplemented his training at military cook and management schools by taking courses from local colleges and universities whenever one was in the neighborhood of his duty station. Many familiar Rappahannock faces show up at Samson’s restaurant at lunch time. The courthouse crowd fills several tables every day. Retired principal Mary Botts Quaintance is a regular as well as local business people from Sperryville and Washington. In the evenings, families bring their kids for a dinner out that doesn’t decimate the weekly budget. Samson has tried hard to keep his menu restricted to what the average Rappahannocker can afford. His salad bar has achieved county wide renown and gets the vote for best buy around. SI.65 for all you can eat i n v i uucs icuucc, oiuun, croutons, garbanzo beans, marinated bean salad, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, beets and peppers is a bargain by any standard. In addition to the special of the day, the Teepee dinner menu includes fried chicken, steak, seafood, hamburgers—all the standard family fare. In a separate section, Samson offers fast food service with quality that wins hands down over the national franchises. Future Plana The courses in restaurant management that Samson has taken over the years have paid off. He’s well prepared IN THE CARRY-OUT SECTION OF THE TEEPEE Florence Hawkins enjoys a cone of frozen custard while Virginia Jenkins, Donna Coffey, Nester Samson and his wife, Amor Samson, await the arrival of the noon-day crowd in the newly remodeled restaurant. ® — Rappahannock New* photo*/S. Latham ✓ if the opportunity to further expand the Teepee ever presents itself. In a large black notebook, Samson has detailed scale drawings of what he’d like to do with his restaurant—including a piano bar with a raised hearth fireplace—if his clientele continues to grow. So far, the expansion and renovation of his business has been keyed to handling the summer tourist trade while still taking good care of “my local people. “I didn't come here to make a lot of money,” Samson concluded. “More or less, this is my hobby now.” ++++ Let us then be up and doing, with a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still, pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait. —Longfellow •ffihefflburf tribute CLORE FUNERAL HOME "The Home of Thoughtful Service" PHONE 825-2361 CULPEPER CEMETERY MEMORIALS TRUSTEE'S SALE OF VALUABLE REAL ESTATE Consisting of a tract or parcel of land with buildings and improvements thereon, situated in Stonewall Magisterial District, Rappahannock County, Virginia, on SAT., APRIL 15 at 10:00 a.m. (EST) AT THE FRONT DOOR OFTHE COURT HOUSE IN WASHINGTON, VA.

Protect Slopes (Continued from Page 1) too, countered Davis, by prohibiting development on land over seven per cent slope. If seven per cent slopes and above are developed, it creates an erosion problem, Davis said. "Even without development, we have an erosion problem,” obvious from watching the top soil Washed away in the Rappahannock River after a rain, he said.

"I’d like to have a good long look at the maps before we get into any planning...We’re talking about basing the ordinance on the preservation of prime farm land—We don’t have any according to Davis’ statistics on the land that comprises Rappahannock County,” said Miller. “The primary source of pressure from development will be on slopes seven per cent and steeper because that’s where 90 per cent of our land is,” Miller continued. “We’ve got to see maps before we make any plans or we’re just going to be beating our gums.” Davis said he thought County Engineer Fanning Baumgardner would have some inventory maps ready for the Planning Commission’s study within the dext 30 days. The county already has excellent soil survey maps but the information is expressed in technical engineering terms that the average citizen can’t understand, he said. “We’ve got to have it in usable form” with the data divided into separate maps showing 1) rivers and streams 2) roads 3) topography with elevations 4) residential and subdivided land, said Davis. “We can’t prohibit development on over seven per cent slopes because that’s where we are,” argued Miller. “It would be a complete turn around to go from protecting land with under seven per cent slopes to protecting land with over seven per cent slopes,” concluded Dave Fannon. Campgrounds Open Virginia State Parks Commissioner, Ben H. Bolen, announced that State Park campgrounds will open Easter weekend, Friday, March 24, for the summer season. Campsites will be available on a first-come, first-served basis through April 3. Beginning April 3, at 10:00 a.m., reservations for renting campsites and State Park Tempers Flare (Continued from Page 1) regularly included in the budget for BZA counsel was not in there at this time. “Who prepared the budget,” asked Forward. “Are you telling me that Adm. Gardiner never talked to you about legal funding for BZA?” No he didn t, said Luke. “Money may be available out of the general fund.” Luke nodded in the affirmative when asked if this indicated that the Supervisors are not willing to back the BZA. Other interested citizens, after reading the current issue of the Rappahannock News, came one by one, to the BZA meeting, to find out what was going on. Peter Kramer stated that he was appalled at Davis acting without the OK of the Supervisors to negotiate with the ski area attorney. After another attempt of the BZA members to have Davis come upstairs to the meeting in open session (they had nothing to hide) Forward said, “I think you’ve made things really clear on the supervisors part in the suit against the BZA.” Patrolling (Continued from Page 1) residences and commercial establishments is not considered an allowable item for reimbursement unless preceeded by a special request.” Statewide Reaction The Compensation Board’s ruling sparked a statewide reaction as counties faced total responsibility for mileage bills that had previously been paid twothirds by the state. This reaction resulted in passage of Senate Bill 272 without a single dissenting vote in either the House or the Senate. The bill authorizes twothirds reimbursement to localities for mileage accumulated in patrolling. John Jones, Director of the Virginia Association of County Sheriffs, noted in a telephone interview on Monday that mileage could start from anywhere the law enforcement officer happened to be when he began his patrolling duties.

There were no negative votes cast by the full Senate in considering the measure and it was forwarded to the House Committee on Counties, Cities and Towns. The supporting vote there was 18 to 0. The House Committee on Appropriations next considered the legislation, approving it 15 to 0. The final unanimous vote came on the House floor where the bill won passage, % to 0. Jones said he expected Governor John Dalton to sign the bill into law. ‘‘Sheriffs Departments will still have to fill out forms,” said Jones, “but now they can list patrolling as an allowable expense.” —Daphne McCullough Installation of Club Officers The Rappahannock Women’s Club will meet Tuesday, March 28, beginning at 6:30 p.m. at the Randolph House restaurant in Culpeper.

LYNE, REALTOR realtor 987-8291 JOSEPH NORDONE, Associate Realtor 987-8691 Democratic Mass Meeting Scheduled The Rappahannock County Democratic Committee will hold a Mass Meeting at 12:00 noon, Saturday, April IS at the Washington Court House. This meeting, following the Virginia Democratic Party Plan, will select four delegates and two alternates from the county to attend the State Democratic Party Convention in Williamsburg June 9, where the Democratic Party Candidate for the U. S. Senate race this fall will be nominated. The Mass Meeting will select in addition, four delegates and two alternates to attend a Seventh Congressional District Convention set for June 3 in Charlottesville. The purpose of this convention is to nominate a Congressional candidate for the fall elections. The traditional Democratic primary election process for selection of the party’s senatorial candidate was rejected by the State Central Committee and a convention was called. The Committee judged that a convention would save the candidates and the party money, that it would result in less dissention within the party, and that the candidate selection process would preclude Republicans participating in it. More than seven persons ' have announced their candidacies for selection at the convention. Several of these have been to Rappahannock County to seek support from local Democrats. Later in the day (April 15) the Rappahannock County Democratic Committee will have a fund-raising cocktailbuffet party at the Chester Gap fire house, beginning at 6:00 p.m. All interested persons will be welcome. Guests will be asked to make a donation of $5.00 per person. Similar successful parties were held last October and April. Members of the Democratic Committee and friends of the Party will provide refreshments. RAY T CANNON CO.
