Subject To Sewage Approval Kramer Wins Variance At a public nearing neid Tuesday, March 21, the Washington Town Council { voted unanimously to grant two variances on lot size to Joyce and Peter Kramer. The variances will allow the Kramers to cut off lots —both under the ordinance's one-half acre minimum—from the John Carter property at the north end of town and from the Clopton property adjacent to the Rush River Store. Before hearing from the Kramers, Mayor Newbill Miller advised the Council members on the criteria for evaluating a variance request under the town’s 1970 zoning and subdivision ordinance. A permit may be granted if the applicant can show that strict application of the ordinance would result in undue hardship not generally shared by other property in the same zoning district and if granting the variance will not cause substantial detriment to adjoining properties or change the character of the neighborhood, said Miller. With the Carter property, Kramer told the council that he wanted to divide the tract, following natural boundaries of shrubbery and fence lines, and cut off a small lot with an existing structure. Kramer noted that he lived in the other, larger house that also sits on the Carter property. Both houses have town water service with separate meters and both have septic systems approved by the Health Department, Kramer said. He added that the prospective buyer for the house and land has no objection to the lot design. He acknowledged that septic approval was given in 1973 but added that he’d talked with Sanitarian Jack Lockhart and had been told Rappahannock Races Rescheduled L/ue to me oaa weamer me Rappahannock Point-toPoint Races had to be postponed a second time, and are now scheduled for Saturday, May 20. This was the first available date which would not be in conflict with other racing events in the area. “The Rappahannock Races will be the last of the spring races, and may well determine the winners of the tropnies awarded at the end of the season based on accumulated points. There should be a good turnout, and we’re expecting a beautiful day to match the view from the Rappahannock Race course,” said Bill Henry who is coordinating publicity with Avery Faulkner. "A list of entries and more information will be given as the race date draws nearer,” said Henry. that permit criteria haa not changed since that date. Jack Miller interjected from the audience that it would work a hardship on Kramer to deny him the variance he needs in ortfer to sell a lot off the Carter property. He added that the new owners would probably restore the old house. “I think it would be a great asset to the town. I’m 100 per cent for it,” said Miller. Second Request In presenting his second request for a variance to divide a log cabin with a small lot from the remainder of the Clopton property's three-quarter acres, Kramer said Lockhart had approved laying out a septic field behind the cabin. He added that Lockhart questioned the advisability of putting a septic field in there since a number of trees would first have to be removed and since the ground didn't perk well. As an alternative, Kramer said he proposed to put in a dosing system with two drain fields to handle sewage from the cabin. Rush River Store and a summer kitchen. With this disposal method, waste is held in a pumping reservoir. When the reservoir reaches capacity, it is sprayed into the first drainfield. When the reservoir fills again, the waste is dispersed over the second field. Advantages to the dosing method, Kramer explained, include using the entire drainfield area so as to avoid detergent clogging. He added that holding waste in the reservoir resulted in losing a lot of sediment normally floating in the water. Kramer told the Council that financial difficulties had prevented installing a complete dosing system yet but added that the Health Department had approved one field—half the planned dosing system—for conventional waste disposal. The three structures using the field include seven bedrooms on a system designed to handle eight, said Kramer. (Health Department evaluation of adequate sewage capacity is based on the number of bedrooms, not bathrooms, in a dwelling.) Kramer emphasized that the Health Department had approved the drainfield for the Clopton property cabin. “They’ve approved the aspect that has to do with the land,” he said, noting that he hadn’t submitted plans for the pumping system to date. Land used in the drainfield “perks quite well,” Kramer continued. "An inch in 30 minutes, and that’s pretty good for this town.” Should the system ever malfunction, Kramer noted that a new drainfield could be laid between the lines of the existing field in practice currently accepted by the health Department. Whether the variance for the lot division was approved, and the log cabin sold or whether the entire property stayed under one ownership, the same sewage disposal system would be used, Kramer added.

School Budget Passes Over Objections By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH Rappahannock New* Staff Writer After listening to citizen concerns for over two hours, the Rappahannock School Board voted to approve the 1978-1979 budget exactly as it was submitted at Tuesday’s Board meeting. The proposed $1,318,379 budget reflects a 9 per cent increase over last year’s total. County funds required by the proposed budget rose from $704,101 to $88,371—an approximate 14 per cent increase. The audience at the special budget session filled the elementary school library and overflowed into the hall. The Chairman of the Supervisors, teachers and parents crowded .around library tables and sat in rows of metal folding chairs, most of them reading the proposed school budget for the first time. After school Board Chairman Beverly Massie laid down ground rules for question and comment from the audience, Superintendent William Bloomer began a line by line review of proposals. First, he read a notation printed at the top of the eight page budget that stated “all salaries projected at 6.8 per cent cost of living increase.” No one commented on administrative expenditures but questions on the 6.8 per cent "cost of living increase” came up as soon as Bloomer moved to the category of instruction at regular day school (which includes teachers’ salaries). “The proposed scale shows a $9,000 starting salary with a $500 increase at each step (in the salary scale) for a 6.8 per cent increase over all,” said Bloomer. In addition, he noted that supplements for Masters Degrees had been increased and two and a half additional teaching positions projected. Coat Of Living? Rappahannock Educational Association president Don Bomberger objected to the cost of living increase label stuck on the teachers’ 6.8 per cent raise. Teachers have a salary scale approved by the School Board that rewards experience with regular step increases in pay and these increments should not be considered as part of a cost of living increase, maintained Bomberger. “It really is a 4.3 per per cent increase over last year’s salary,” he said. “The 4.3 per cent takes into account the $500 (increase at each step in the pay scale). The step increase is earned by being here.” Jennings Hobson seconded Bomberger’s argument, stating that the automatic step increase needed to be divided from the cost of living increase in order to be fair. The administration gets a straight 6.8 cost of living increase, noted math teacher Susan Hrbek, while teachers get only 4.3 per cent for cost of living plus an earned step increase. Ron Whiley Wiley asked if the School Board members (Continued on Page 10) BZA Requests Counsel At a special 8 a.m. meeting in the courthouse on Tuesday, the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals members voted to hire an attorney to represent them in the ski corporation suit. The Fairfax law firm of Fitzgerald and Smith will answer the petition filed by the Rappahannock Ski Corporation on March 7 in which the ski area sought to overturn the BZA denial of the ski area’s special use permit. The BZA members also passed a resolution formally asking the Board of Supervisors to appropriate $3,000 to cover counsel fees and to authorize disbursement no later than April 7. “The Zoning Appeals Board is now in session,” announced Chairman Josef Gardiner after referring to the section of the county zoning ordinance that allows for BZA meetings to be held “at the call of its chairman.” BZA member Hal Forward read a resolution calling for a defense to the ski area suit. Noting that Rappahannock Commonwealth Attorney George Davis had advised the BZA that he would not represent them, Forward stated that the BZA was unanimous in its opinion that the denial of the ski area’s special use permit “protected the rights and best interests of the citizens of Rappahannock” and therefore ought to be defended. Defense against the ski area suit, he continued, was also “absolutely essential to the integrity of the Rappahannock Zoning Ordinance.” Board member James Massie seconded Forward's resolution and Admiral Gardiner called for discussion. There was none. “I think it’s a good resolution,” commented BZA member George Muth before Gardiner called for a vote. Forward’s resolution carried unanimously. Muth then informed the BZA members that Supervisor Chairman E. P. Luke had requested a budget for the coming year from the BZA before the Supervisor’s April 6 meeting. Muth proposed that the BZA submit a request for $10,240—$1,440 for payment to the BZA members, $2,000 for secretarial help and $6,800 for legal counsel. His suggestion was unanimously approved. rorward emphasized that the BZA’s proposed budget reflected a maximum expenditure with any money left at the end of the year returned to the general fund. “We always do that—We always turn money back." responded Gardiner. Muth added that BZA budgets for the last several years had included S2.000 for legal fees. None of this money had ever been expended, he noted. “I sure appreciate your course of action,” interjected Dr. Werner Krebser, who with Peter Kramer and Col. Nets Parson made up the audience for the BZA special meeting. “I’d be happy to spearhead a drive if you don’t get funds (from the Supervisors for legal (Continued on Page 2) Welfare Budget Approved By DAPHNE MeCULLOLGH Rappahannock New* Staff Writer At a meeting on March 17, the Rappahannock Welfare Board approved a $179,138 budget for the coming year, an increase of $13,399 over this year’s funding. Local money required by the proposed budget totals $37,629 — a jump of $5,968 from the current year. , Elizabeth Buntin, county Welfare Director, requested at Friday’s meeting that Board members Aline Johnson and Carter White present the proposed welfare budget to the Rappahannock Supervisors. In the past, Mrs. Buntin has made the presentation alone. (Welfare Board Chairman J.R. Latham sits on the Board of Supervisors and so is unable to participate with Mrs. Johnson and White.) Mrs. Buntin also reported that she planned to ask the Supervisors for a special session to consider the welfare budget. Later, Food Stamp Administrator Nancy Reeve suggested that acArtisans Craft Show A spring artisans event is .. scheduled for Saturday, April 1 in Historic Washington and is sponsored by the Business Council of the town. A showcase of area talent covering many fields will include potters, sculptors, weavers, pewtersmiths, painters, quitters, basket weavers and more. Demonstrations of these crafts can be seen and all will have their wares for exhibit and on sale. Hours for the event are from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. countant Walter Cox, who works with the Supervisors on the budget, also attend the special session. In the beginning explanations to her Board members, Mrs. Buntin noted that proposed salary increases for the Welfare Department staff are in accordance with plans approved in January by the Board. The 1978-1979 budget calls for salary increases of $4,445 over the past year for a total administrative increase of $5,854. Operating expenses — except the light bill for the Food Stamp office — are based on costs for the past year, she said. Coats Rising “One factor driving up local costs is auxiliary, supplemental grants,” said Mrs. Buntin. These grants, funded with state and local money, are used to cover costs of domicilliary care for the elderly. Last year’s budget allocation for domicilliary care for the aged was $1,000. This year’s request is $9,274 with a local share of $3,478. Mrs. Buntin reported that the Welfare Department has had to place three individuals in licensed domicilliary care institutions. “Admittedly, the two elderly people placed in the Fredericksburg home are better off but it’s costing more," she expfained. She added that she expected to have to place at least two more persons in licensed homes during the coming year. A third individual, a disabled person, was placed in a licensed care facility in Winchester, said Mrs. Buntin. Last year’s allocation in this category was $746. This year’s proposed budget calls for $1,956 with a local contribution of $734. In foster care, the proposed budget is $24,660 — an increase of $4,440. ‘‘We had 12 in foster care in December and allowed for 13 in the coming year,” said Mrs. Buntin. “We’re cutting it close...It’s unrealistic to expect no increase in our caseload.” She noted that the state advised a 15 per cent increase in foster care appropriations to cover the same caseload. The total amount for assistances — $53,257 — is down $2,427 from last year’s total. Offsetting the increases in supplemental grants for domicilliary care and other assistance categories is a decrease in federal state matching payments for aid to dependent children from $24,568 to $9,540. However, there are no local funds involved in this category. The total local funds fot assistances in the proposed welfare budget show ar increase of $5,174 over Iasi year. Mrs. Buntin emphasized that the people who receive supplemental grants for domicilliary care and other assistances have no money and no family to help shoulder the financial burden. She noted that the Rappahannock Welfare Department was pacing the full bill for one individual in the Fredericksburg home but said that she was working on obtaining Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments administered by Social Security for this individual. The amount budgeted for supplemental grants to cover domicilliary care is based on all the recipients getting regular SSI payments to help defray costs to the county, Mrs. Buntin added. Domicilliary care costs for the aged average $193.20 per month for the four recipients anticipated in the proposed budget, she continued. Domicilliary care for the one (Continued on Page 2) Toll-Free Calls Survey An ettort to allow toil-tree calls between 937 and 675 telephone subscribers has progressed to the stage of a survey conducted by the Central Telephone Co. and C&P Telephone Co. Local. 937 and 675 exchange subscribers have received post cards to be returned with a yes or no vote. The extra monthly charge would be 15 cents per month for 937 subscribers and in excess of $2 for 675 subscribers—considered to be small in view of the enlargement of the toll free area. The drive was sponsored jointly Dy the KappanannocK Women’s Club and the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP) and started many months ago with a petition, signed by hundreds, to the State Corporation Com mission in Richmond. Roger Batchelder, coordinator for RLEP, earnestly urges all 937 and 675 subscribers to vote “YES” on the cards to be returned. If there are any questions by local subscribers they may be directed to Roger Batchelder, 937-4388, or to officers of the Rappahannock Women’s Club.

Quilt Exhibit April 1 At Rush River f — An exhibition of the quilts of Jinny Beyer will launch the spring season at The Rush River ‘•^ompiin^ in Washingtonian Saturday, April 1st from 10-5. Mrs. Beyer, nationallyknown quilting teacher and lecturer, joined the artisans' cooperative on Gay Street in November of 1975. The focus of the exhibition will be her medallion quilt “Ray of Light,” first-prize winner over 10,000 entries in the Good Housekeeping Magazine's national "quilt competition. Jinny made the quilt with the competition in mind, and began work on it January 1, 1977. The preliminary competition was based on photographs which had to be submitted by August 31, 1977. “I realized I wasn’t going to be finished, so 1 took the quilt off the frame, photographed it as it was and sent the picture. In the middle of October, Good Housekeeping notified me I was one of the finalists and that I had to send them the finished quilt within the next two weeks. To meet the deadline, I sat and quilted for 12 hours a day until it was finished.” Jinny credits her family—husband John, sons Sean 14 and Darren 11, and daughter Kiran, 7—with patience and help during that trying period. The 52,500 prize money she received “will probably be used for some project benefitting the entire family, because they were so supportive,” she added. A “Traditionalist” in her quilting art, Jinny does all her work by hand and uses only 100 per cent cotton fabrics. She was originally inspired to learn the craft while living in India, where she became fascinated with the dark Indian calico prints (originally calicos were exported to England from the Indian port of Calicut). "Although I come from a family of artists, I had never really found my own medium, but when I looked at the scraps of Indian cotton I had left from sewing, I decided not to waste them but to try quilting,” she said. Her First effort, “Flower Rush River Features Crafts The Rush River Company on Gay Street in Washington, Va., announces some major changes. Beginning April 1, the store will feature the work of eight area craftsmen of regional and national reputation: Jinny Beyer, quilter; Nol Putnam, blacksmith; Kathy Emigh, potter and weaver; June Jordan, potter; Dill Parsons, woodworker and jeweler; Ann Friend Clark, potter; Barbara Bockman, painter; and Peter Kramer, furniture maker. The shop will also offer Joyce Kramer's wide selection of books and Wayne Jenkin’s ample inventory of old tools. Antiques and an extensive line of quilting supplies will continue to be sold. To kick off the new look, the Rush River Company is having a special day in cooperation with the Washington Business Council Craft Day on April 1. In addition to the first major showing of Jinny Beyer’s Best of 10,000 quilt, the shop will be displaying some of the newest and best work of the member artists as well as sponsoring a blacksmith demonstration from 1-4 p.m. The future looks bright for those area residents interested in the crafts and arts for plans are underway for Rush River Company to host a series of seminars and workshops in quilting, painting, drawing, pottery, weaving, blacksmithing and woodworking. liappaliamutck 5seui»? ■ - r Rappahannock & AdjoiningtTounties per year $5.00 Elsewhere in the U.S. per year $6.50 Outside the U S per year $5 00 plus postage SUBSCRIPTION RATESBY MAIL ALL PAYABLE IN ADVANCE Mtv, Iffentwai iCftc* Indosrd NAME____ ADDRESS ______ CITY _STATE _ZIP Entered as second class rr\ai) at the Post Office m Washington Va The Ran pahannoc* News -s published every Thursday at 39 Cuipepei Street Warrantor Va by The Warrenton Printing and Publishing Co P 0 Bo* 631 Warrenton Va 22186 SATURDAY SPECIAL April 1, 1978 MEXICALI CHICKEN Pieces of chicken pleasingly blended with an American version of a South-ofthe-Border favorite sauce to achieve the "just right" balance of flavor Served over boiled rice and accompanied by our special dessert Even our South of the Border friends say there is something unique about our Mexicali Chicken $2.95 REGULAR SCHEDULE Lunch: 11 a.m. ■ 2:30 p.m. (Lunch special changes daily) Dinner: 4:30 p.m.-9 p.m. Raataurant ot Spafryvllta 967-8188 Garden Quilt," won a blue ribbon at the 1974 Woodlawn Plantation Needlework Show. Past Inspires Her designs are original. However, Jinny draws inspiration from the past. Using the dark browns, maroons and blues preferred by Colonial quiltmakers, she reinterprets 18th and 19th century patterns, showing the same attention to detail and quality workmanship so admired in fine antique quilts. She feels an animosity toward the so-called modern “puffy” quilts. Old quilting required close stitiching to keep the cotton batting from tearing apart. "In the process, a thing of beauty was created,” she said. Today, with polyester batting, large portions of a quilt can be left unstitched and puffy and it will still hold together. "But you lose the beauty of the quilt,” she emphasizes. When Jinny is not working on her latest quilt design (she has made 9), she can be found teaching classes at her home in Fairfax, at craft workshops at Cedar Lake, W. Va., in Sun River, Ore., or at The Rush River Company. In demand on the lecture Circuit, she has spoken before various quilt groups throughout the country. She is scheduled to appear at the First Continental Quilt Congress this July 13, 14, 15 at the Sheraton National Hotel in Arlington. Jinny has expanded her interest in patchwork to include designing and making clothing in the patchwork idiom. Her spectacular blouses, skirts, vests and caftans can be seen at The Rush River Co. along with unusual wallhangings Rappahannock New* Staff Photo/Sarah Latham MRS.

Jinny isn’t happy unless she has a “quilt in the frame” and she is currently finishing a mariner’s compass quilt for her husband’s mother. Again she is using the dark Indian cottons, but this time the complex designs are set against a field of plain muslin within a grid of the Indian printed fabric. An even newer effort is an original pattern, “Inner City"—a fascinating optical design she is piecing for her son Darren. School Policy Changes Proposed At the March 14 meeting of the Rappahannock School Board, members heard proposals from the Education Association on revisions for the teacher's policy manual. “In the past, the policy manual has been adhered to and interpreted lightly,” said Lynn Baines, chairman of the Rappahannock Education Association’s manual committee. In addition, she noted that there were very few volumes of the manual available for teachers. “Most of them have never read it and don’t even know it exists," she said. Although several sections of the manual are reprinted in the teachers’ handbooks, the reprinted portions do not include all of the duties and policy pertaining to teachers, Mrs. Baines said. She suggested that a copy of the entire policy manual be given to each employee of the school system rather than leaving it to the teachers to find time to read the one volume in the high school office and a second volume in the elementary office. Contract law is not clear whether School Boards can decide not to renew a nontenured teacher’s contract after April 15, said Mrs. Baines. Recent court decisions have not settled the issue and it’s currently up to localities to decide their own policy, she added. She suggested that the School Board stipulate in the policy manual that non-tenured teachers must be notified if their contract is not being renewed on or before April 15. Acknowledging the difficulty that the School Board faces in confirming salaries by April 15, Mrs. Baines asked that teacher assignments at least be made by that date with salary confirmation to come as soon as the Supervisors approve the school budget. Mrs. Baines reported that Christian Book Store You’re welcome to come in and browse BIBLES BOOKS JEWELRY i STATIONERY RECORD ALBUMS CHILDREN’S BOOKS 53 South 3rd St. Warrenton (next to Depot Rett.) 347-2949 Mon.-Fri. 9:30-5 Saturday 9:30-1 the Educational Association also asked that teacher reassignment “for professional reasons” be made by the Superintendent with the approval of the School Board. If the teacher doesn’t like the reassignment even after discussion with the administration, the teacher will be required to take the new position for one year and then will have priority for the assignment of his or her choice in the coming year. Mrs. Baines also proposed that pay for unused sick leave upon retirement after ten year’s service be increased and work days alloted for illness or death in the family be increased from three to five days. The REA also requested that teacher evaluation schedules be moved up to allow teachers time to make up for mistakes during the current year. Mrs. Baines asked that all new and reassigned teachers be observed during the first advisory period and all teachers observed during the first semester with formal administration-teacher conferences scheduled by the end of the third advisory. She also suggested that evaluation forms be included in the policy manual. School Board Chairman Beverly Massie said the Board would postpone adoption of the handbook revisions until members had time to study the Educational Association's suggestions. She added that she would check into having more copies of the policy manual printed. In response to complaints of overcrowded school buses Heart Fund Campaign Results The Heart Fund campaign recently completed in Rappahannock netted S2160.51 according to the drive chairman Mary R Miller of Flint Hill. This far exceeded the original goal of about $600. Mrs. Miller stated that she appreciated the excellent cooperation of the county captains and their co-workers and the generosity of the public. District captains were Wakefield, which includes Chester Gap and Flint Hill, Maybelle Gilkey and Barbara Gentry, respectively; Jackson, Nancy Nicholas; Hampton, Nancy Reeve; Piedmont, Aline Johnson; Stonewall, Myrtle Falls. made at last month’s Board meeting. Superintendent William Bloomer gave the School Board a transportation report. According to Dr. Bloomer, buses were checked in the mornings and afternoons for five days. Using average figures, said Bloomer, only one bus—number three—was overloaded, carrying 59 passengers instead of 54. Using the maximum number of students that any of the buses carried during the five day check, six buses were overloaded. Bloomer said he will work on transfering some of the students off the more crowded buses without altering the routes too much. In another transportation matter. Board member Paul Nichols questioned the necessity of getting children to school at 8:05. “1 can’t quite understand why the bus drivers have to get them here so early,” he said. Bus drivers are more sun oriented than clock oriented. Bloomer responded. “When the sun starts coming up earlier in the spring, the bus drivers start rolling earlier.” “Are you saying they should kill the rooster?” joked Board member Alan Stokes. ‘‘The clock is more dependable time wise than the rooster,” Bloomer replied, adding that he would talke with the drivers about starting their routes a little later so children would eet to school at the regular time. no. 1 garden helper Largest Lawn & Garden Equipment Dealer In This Area.

Welfare Budget OKed Continued from Page 1) disabled person served by the Welfare Department averages SI63 per month. “We’ll be lucky if we get by with no more than that.” Mrs. Buntin commented. “That’s an increase of $1,100 to SI,200 (per person),” remarked Welfare Board Chairman J.R. Latham. "Yes, and it will show up in local participation,” Mrs. Buntin responded. Moving on to the Title 20 purchased services portion of the proposed budget, Mrs. Buntin said she d estimated $8,800 for the day care program. “We’re shooting in the dark on this one. I don’t know how many WIN mothers we’ll have ... We allowed for five children at S100 (per child per month) and four children at $60 (to cover after school care),” she reported. WIN Explained Mrs. Buntin later explained that WIN provides for day care for working mothers or mothers who are getting job training and who also receive aid to dependent children (ADC) payments. WIN is primarily federally funded with no state money and only S200 in local money. However, mothers may use WIN day care for only three months. After that time elapses, day care costs are paid for through the Title 20 day care program. For foster care services in child caring institutions, Mrs. Buntin said she’d based her request for $4,700 on having two cases and noted that she'd also allowed for a 10 per cent increase in cost, as advised by the state. ‘‘We have a lot of trouble with foster care, particularly with teenagers (because) there are no resources for troubled children,” she added. Mrs. Buntin reported that there was $18,201 in federal money available to the county for buying services from Chapter 10 Rappahannock - Rapidan Community Services Board. She explained that the federal govemmenf gives the state funds for Title 20 purchases. This money is allocated to localities by the state Welfare Department on the basis of population and the amount of Title 20 money used by the locality during the previous year. (For th# 1978-1979 budget, the county will get $57,590 in federal Title 20 funds. The amount allocated for direct services — $21,629 — is subtracted from the total, leaving a federal portion on hand for purchased services (other than WIN day care), of $35,961. Mrs. Buntin explained that she then subtracts the federal share of companion services, day care, foster care and transportation. This leaves $18,201 for the federal share of other services that can be purchased from Chapter 10.) Chapter 10 Services “If the $18,201 is not used by the Rappahannock Welfare Department to buy services from Chapter 10, then this federal money will be reallocated to another locality,” Mrs. Buntin told the Welfare Board. ‘‘I’d rather see my taxes come back here to Rappahannock,” she commented. “I want to be sure that the Supervisors understand that if we don’t purchase Chapter 10 services, we won’t get federal or donated^ ijianpy,” .(Donated jfundi JKe. used to Jxjyer the local share of Chapter 10 services tnclndtng- nutrition programs for the elderly, counseling and treatment services and costs for the two persons who currently get services to specific disabled individuals at Goldsboro House, the group home for retarded women in Culpeper.) Mrs. Buntin added that Title 20 money is allocated partially on the basis of what was spent in that category during the previous year. Therefore, she noted, future appropriation will be less if the S18,201 available to the county this year is not spent. Companion Services One of two purchased services not mandated by the state but offered by the Rappahannock Welfare Department is the companion services program. “I think this is very important but it’s still optional,” Mrs. Buntin noted. “If worse comes to worse, we may have to abandon it” should the Supervisors refuse to appropriate the S2.000 local share of the program’s $10,000 total budget, she said. (Companion services is aimed at keeping the elderly poor out of nursing homes by providing companion and housekeeping help.) The total amount of local funds required for purchased services in the proposed budget is $4,053 — a decrease of $376. “I think it’s as close as 1 can shave it,” said Mrs. Buntin, commenting on the total welfare budget. “Too close,” she addaC BZA (Continued from Page 1) counsel),” Krebser volunteered. “It’s nice to know we have some support,” answered Admiral Gardiner. Parson asked if the Supervisors could legally « deny the BZA’s request for $3,000. “Don’t they have an obligation to support you?” he asked. Forward responded that the Supervisors were only obligated to consider the request at an open public meeting. “If there’s no one at the April 6 Board meeting to dispute a denial of the funding request, the Supervisors could turn us down and leave us out on a limb,” concluded Gardiner. Spring Revival The Five Forks Regular Baptist Church at Woodville is having a Spring revival from April 3 through April 8 with services beginning at 7:30 p.m. each evening.

Giles, Kramer explained that his proposed dosing system used no more water than conventional drainfield sewage disposal. Kramer continued that his properties were the only lots in town with two structures besides the tract shared by the Country Store and Eileen Day Realty. This placed him in the category of "hardship not generally shared by other property in the same zoning district,” maintained Kramer. Jack Miller interjected that the variance for the Clopton property should be approved if the sewage disposal system for the cabin was adequate. “You’re talking about increasing the number of residents in the town” when already, Washington “drainfields are draining into the water table,” said Charlie Manson. The town water system is “perhaps on its last legs,” he continued, and if it should cease to function, residents would have to switch over to individual wells. As a home owner across the street and downhill from the Clopton property, Manson maintained that his well, along with others, would be “susceptible to contamination” from a malfunctioning or overloaded drainfield. “This is a potential problem that will specifically affect me,” said Manson, while at the same time stressing that he wasn’t necessarily opposed 'to granting Kramer’s variance. “I don’t object at all if the town will give me assurances that the water system will always work,” he said. Kramer responded that granting his application would not add to the population of Washington since people had lived in the houses involved long before a variance was requested. "Whether the town grants a variance or not, there will be people in those buildings," he said. Manson commented that maybe his questions “weren’t to the point at all. Maybe they’re just a reminder that the town water needs to be looked at.” Sewage Worries Jennings Hobson said he’d talked to a lot of people about the variance request and said he’d found concern centered around sewage disposal, water connections and the "principles of zoning.” These concerns will not be affected by granting the requested variances, maintained Hobson. Granting the application will not change the population density or the use of the properties involved, he said. “So many issues stay the National Winner of Good Housekeeping Quilt Competition JINNY BEYER Quilt Exhibition Saturday, April 1st 10-5 The Rush River Company Washington, Virginia same whether the property lines are redrawn or not...With five owners instead of one, we’ll have five times the resources to get in and fix things up and improve the looks of our town,” added Hobson in urging the Council to approve the variance request. Acting on suggestions from Mayor Newbill Miller, the Council members voted unanimously to approve a lot size variance on the Carter property subject to a current Health Department permit for a sewage system. The Clopton property variance was also approved, subject to a current Health Department sewage permit and deed covenants restricting the Rush River Store to two bedrooms should it be converted to a residence. "The Town Council gets only one chance to do it right, and if we don’t do it right, we have to live with it,” remarked Mayor Miller. He noted that he’d checked with Charlie Jenkins to make sure the town water system could handle the additional demand that may result from granting Kramer’s variance. “I hope we’ve covered everything because if we haven’t, we’ve made a terrible mistake,” Miller concluded. Accident Ricky Savage of Rixeyville was cited for reckless driving following a traffic accident which occurred on Route 522 north of Flint Hill Saturday morning, according to investigating officer R.A. Baines. Savage was driving a 1977 Capri which went out of control, ran into the yard of A. O. Smoot and struck a 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass and then flipped over in the middle of the highway, said Baines. The car drives by Savage was totaled and extensive damage was done to the Cutlass belonging to Bobby Smoot which was parked in the yard. Savage was not injured. Craig S. Swann of Martinsburg, W. Va. was charged with reckless driving when he was involved in a two-vehicle collision March 22 in Rappahannock. The 74 Ford pickup driven by Swann struck a 77 Ford sedan operated by Mrs. Mary Edna Schaffer of Sperryville, according to a report by Trooper C. A. Moore. Swann sustained minor injuries, said Moore. The collision occurred at the intersection of Routes 211 and 636 which leads to the local elementary school. Moore’s report said Mrs. Schaffer was slowing to make a left turn from the highway to Route 636 when the pickup struck her car in the rear and then overturned. In another recent collision parties involved included two drivers, Deborah Hill of Springfield and Roger Simon of Staten Island, N.Y. and a deer, according to Trooper Moore. The deer was killed and Deborah Hill and Nancy Jean West were treated at Fauquier Hospital, Warrenton for minor injuries. Simon was driving a 77 Volkswagen westbound on Route 211 and struck the deer. He lost control of the VW and struck the Hill car, a 77 Toyota, eastbound.

One of the mistakes a househunter can make is to buy the frill instead of the house. All too often a family will fall in love with an eye-catching feature and buy the wrong house. This mistake happens frequently and in all price ranges. Families skip over careful consideration of the major factors because something minor has really grabbed them. The lure may be a charming fireplace, a glamourous lighting fixture, a garage door opener, or even a unique tree or shrub in bloom. Yielding to superficial attractions like these can result in your family winding up with a thoroughly unsuitable house. Bear in mind that these same alluring features can usually be added to another house at a relatively small cost, considering the amount of the overall purchase.

THURSDAY, MARCH 30,1978 The School Board Express RAPP* April Fools ’ Is Coming Various myths about the origins of April Fools’ Day have circulated around the world, but Dr. Helen Rountree, assistant professor of sociology at Old Dominion University, says the most popular is that AH Fools’ Day originated in France in 1564 after the adoption of the Gregorian calendar. "Prior to 1564, Europe used the Julian calendar, which was not too accurate and did not correspond exactly to the rotation of the earth,” she says. “Before the calendar changed, New Year’s Day was on March 25—close to Lent—and people would wait until the holy days were over before celebrating the new year. Usually they celebrated h close to April 1.” Once the calendar changed, Rountree explains, New Year’s Day moved to Jan. 1. "Those who forgot the new date continued to celebrate h around the first of April. When they did this, they were mocked and called April fools for forgetting,” she adds. E. King Reid, another assistant professor of sociology at ODU, says the nickname also played a part in an old Jewish tradition of “smartening up the dummies’’ who didn't know that Noah sent the dove out of the ark too soon to find land. "Since then, anybody who was not aware of this was called an April fool,” Reid says. Rountree adds that since the dove was sent out early because Noah was anxiously waiting for the flood to subside—and since April is known in many areas as the rainy month—it became natural for that month to be used as part of the nickname. Many of today’s April Fools’ Day pranks have been modernized from the old days. According to R. Biasch’s “The Every-Day Book,’’ 30 years ago, when most shoes had buckles, a child would greet a man on the street with, "Sir, if you please, your shoe’s unbuckled.’’ The moment the accosted looked towards his feet, the prankster would cry, "Ah! you April fool!” Many men enjoyed bowing to a lady and gravely addressing her with, “Ma’am, I beg your pardon, but you’ve something on your facet “Indeed, my manl What is it?” she’d ask. "Your nose, ma'am. Ah! you April fool.” And April Fools’ Day has its share of rhymes, too. Before its approach, there’s, “April Fools’ is coming and you’re the biggest fool a running,” Once it’s over, the saying changes to, “April Fools’ is past and you’re the biggest fool at last.” Calendar Of Events Monday, April 3: Rappahannock Citizens for Better Education program on drug awareness, 7:30 p.m., elementary school auditorium.

To The Editor Shocked at Sign To the editor: As a frequent visitor to Washington, Virginia, my eye is shocked each time I pass the ugly “MOTEL” sign which desecrates the scene at. the entrance to town. Why in Heaven’s name, if there must be a sign, could it not be in keeping with the historic character of the town? Now a request is pending for commercial zoning of a nearby parcel along U.S. 211 of scarce agricultural land. If this zoning change is approved, Rappahannock will be another step closer to the cheap honky-tonk atmosphere and neon-lighted blight which despoils the landscape of so many other counties. Commercial zoned property belongs in town, not strung-out along our highways. Does not anyone care about the scenic beauty of Rappahannock? HERBERT C. MADISON Washington, D.C. The Real Motive To the editor: What is the real motive behind the rezoning request made by Dorothy Davis for their 3.55 acres situated near the entrance to the Town of Washington? Surely it can’t be solely for the reasons stated in the request—according to the Zoning Ordinance it is not necessary to rezone agricultural land to commercial land in order to operate an antique shop—the zoning ordinance states that application for a special use permit and its approval is all that is needed. Once property is zoned commercial the zoning office has very limited control over the size and abundance of signs on the property, the lovely barn on this property could be turned into another Emporium which would definitely take away from the businesses located in the town. This rezoning issue frightens me not only for whit can haftUTttrfN* DfcVis’ property bWif thk i» approved what about the other several miles of agricultural land along Route 211 that also could be rezoned—we could end up with commercial strip zoning all along Route 211 and this would detract greatly from / the appeal of Rappahannock County. I am also curious why this application is only in the name of Mrs. Davis when this property is owned jointly by George and Dorothy Davis. During the past several weeks Mr. Davis has repeatedly spoken against rezoning agricultural land and here the Davis’ are trying to rezone theirs—what is this—“Do as I say-not as I do?” If the Davis’ are truly only after having an antique shop then let’s have them apply for a special use permit! We have a beautiful county and the appeal is our farm land and a lack of commercialism and industry. Let’s not ruin that appeal—call your supervisor today and tell him not to destroy this county. CANDY & ALLAN COOMBS Thanks And Goodbye To the editor: I’d like to thank the members of the Rappahannock Sheriff's Department, Virginia State Troopers assigned here, people in Rappahannock’s administrative offices and citizens of the county for their cooperation and friendship during my two and a half years as a Deputy Sheriff. I’d also like to give special thanks to all the members of my family for standing by me and helping me over the years. I’ve enjoyed serving in Rappahannock and hope that one day I may be able to come back to the county. DEPUTY MARTIN LUIS ORFILA Rappahannock Sheriffs Department RLEP Meeting The Rappahannock • League for Environmental Protection will host a panel discussion on insecticides,. herbicides and fungicides as they apply to orchards and to home vegetable gardens. The meeting will be held Friday, April 7, at 7:30 in the courthouse. Twentieth Century Chestnut By LYT WOOD County Forrstor Members of older generations remember the American chestnut forests. Evidence of the chestnut forests of the past can still be seen in the woods: lifeless, weathered-gray tree-trunks stand like monuments in the midst of the oaks, maples, and hickories that took their place. There are many thousands of American chestnut trees that are still living today in Rappahannock County. But nearly all of these are small sprouts that repeatedly spring up and die back again, originating from stumps and roots of trees that were killed over 50 years ago. So the microscopic fungus that causes the condition known as the "chestnut blight" continues to suppress the mighty American chestnut. The Chestnut Tree Bark Disease, as it was called, was brought over from Asia on Chinese or Japanese trees that were imported for ornamental and orchard plantings. Asian chestnut trees provide a niche (or living-place) for the fungus, but are not harmed by it. These trees and fungi have co-existed for eons in a state of mutual well-being. It is interesting to note that the chestnut blight fungus T has many other hosts. Post oaks, red maples, and sumacs all provide livingplaces for the fungus. Therefore, by planting Chinese chestnut trees, you will not be spreading the chestnut blight. That damage has already been done. After the blight fungus became established on ornamental trees at New York City, it quickly spread to the wild American chestnuts. As we know, it was highly pathogenic to the American species. A merciless "urban blight,” it spread from New York City into the wooded countryside, causing drastic changes to the landscape and the people’s lives and livelihoods. CONTROL ATTEMPTS Timber owners, and many federal and local government organizations, initiated some desperate operations in an effort to stop the spread of the blight. Swaths of timber (sometimes a mile widel) were cut around infected areas. In Pennsylvania, sanitation cuttings on private land were enforceable by state law. By 1912, the disease had become established throughout the eastern third of Pennsylvania. The advance of the disease was an ecological catastrophe that surely was the equivalent of an extremely intense wildfire, or a complete widespread 1 clearcutting. There were, however, two important differences: 1. The forests were unable to recover—or even to approach—their former condition, because the predominant tree lost its competitive ability. In other words, the alien disease suddenly reduced the American chestnut to an insignificant position in the forest. It has not regenerated. 2. This catastrophe ex tended throughout a vast area. The chestnut’s natural range included most of the acreage in Virginia, and extended south and west beyond Tennessee, north through Ohio, and into southern Maine. PRESENT-DAY FORESTS In the years following the massive die-off of timber (the I930’s in Virginia), the forest lands seeded in to tree species that normally grow in full sunlight, such as yellow poplar and pines. Presently, such shade-tolerant trees as oaks and maples are gradually assuming the “dominant” role in the forests. This is the usual course of events following any catastrophe such as fire or flood, but—as was mentioned earlier—the chestnut could not recover its dominion. And so, while our forests were not destroyed by the blight, they did experience a radical, upheaving change, along with the lives of the people of Appalachia, Could this upheaval have been foreseen and prevented ? Probably not. And yet it was not without precedent. The starling and the house sparrow are two examples of alien organisms that have disrupted the American ecology. (They were both brought over from Europe.) Here in Rappahannock, the honeysuckle vine and the tree-of-heaven are persistent, prolific, troublesome weeds. These plants were deliberately (and capriciously) imported from Asia, as was the Chinese chestnut. All of these destructive events have provided a lesson that, for the most part, is already forgotten. In the words of one wildlife expert, George Laycock: “Release of wildlife into territory foreign to it involves, not a calculated risk, but a risk too great to | calculate.” Nevertheless, man continues his drastic alterations and rearrangements of the world and its creatures. *i have given you lands to hunt in, I have given you streams to fish in, I have given you bear and bison, I have given you roe and reindeer, I have given you brant and beaver, Filled the marshes full of wild-fowl, Filled the rivers full of fishes; Why then are you not contented?" (Longfellow’s The Song of Hiawatha)

Poetry Workshop A five-week poetry writing workshop will begin Saturday, April 8, and will meet for Five Saturday mornings from 10 a.m. until noon. The workshop is for people who have never written a word of poetry, as well as for more experienced poets. "My aim,” says Carla Eugster, facilitator of the workshop, “is to help each person feel his or her way into that pool of creativity from which poetry and all other art comes. We might approach the poetic process through games, group discussion, role playing, movement, music—whatever works. Of course, we will also spend time sharing and discussing the poetry written by the participants.” According to Ms. Eugster, members of earlier workshops have discovered that the poetic process offers an exciting opportunity to see the world and themselves through fresh eyes, as well as the possibility of going on to sustained and serious poetry writing. Ms. Eugster is a published poet who gave a reading at the Rappahannock County Library last November. Her most recently published poems appear in AS IS, a poetry journal of the Washington, D. C., area. The workshop will meet in the main house of Nethers Center on Rt. 621. The cost of the five week series is SI 7.50. For more information, or to reserve space, phone 987-8913.

By RAPOWINGS Rappahannock County will observe Arbor Day next Thursday, April 6. Miss Ruby Jenkins has been busy, working behind the scenes as usual, to insure it’s success. On this day at 10:00 a.m. in memory of Mr. Robert L. (Jock) Brown, a pink dogwood tree will be planted on the Court House Lawn. A short service will be led by Mr. James W. Fletcher. The poem, “Trees” by Joyce Kilmer, will be read by Mrs. Eva Smith. One .hundred and twentyfive people have ordered 420 dogwood trees and 200 Chinese Chestnut seedlings. These trees may be picked up at the Extension Office in Washington, Virginia on Thursday, April 6th-8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Planting steps: 1. Select site and dig holes prior to picking up trees. 2. Trees are bare-root nursery stock. Keep roots moist and wrapped until planting. Do n6t let roots dry out. 3. Plant as soon as possible. 4. Make hole deeper and wider than root system. Refill with top soil so that the plant will set about the same level as when growing in the nursery. Firm soil and make a ridge to hold the water then water thoroughly. 5. Prune back about onethird of the top portion to compensate for root damage. 6. Stake to prevent future lawn mower damage. 7. Do not use fertilizer or manure at time of planting because there is danger of burning root hairs. 8. If the soil becomes dry...water once a week...really soak it until plants become established.

One such resident is Mrs. Anne Keyser, Washington, Virginia, who over the years has collected a book full of household tips. Mrs. Keyser was kind enough to share them with me, some of which follow: When arranging flowers in a vase cut up an old sponge and cram the pieces around the neck of the vase to hold the flowers in place. Glue small magnets to unused wall space in medicine cabinet to hold nail file, tweezers, etc. To remove ink stains from hands, wet the tip of the head of a match and apply it to the stain. Spray with oil of sarsafras if you are trying to get rid of red ants. Wash window screens with nylon net to get them clean without streaks. Hot vinegar will remove paint from windows. Moisten stove polish with vinegar instead of water. It will produce a maximum amount of polish with a minimum amount of work. Put a strong rubber band lengthwise around your open paint can so the band will made a “bridge” across the top. Use the band to wipe excess paint off the brush as you work. Sides and top of can will stay clean. r Save your first coffee can with a plastic fid. Cut a small hole in the center of the lid and place a ball of twine in it pulling the end through the opening. Place some rubber bands and scissors inside the can and your first home wrapping center is started. Freeze water for ice in juice cans. Thus one or two large cubes can be used to cool pitcher of cold drinks, saving the small cubes for the glasses. Mrs. W. M. Fletcher gave me this recipe for bread by Mrs. Futrell.

The purpose of this meeting is to select 4 (four) delegates and 2 (two) alternates to the State Convention convening at 8 p.m., June 9, 1978, in Williamsburg.

All interested Democrats are invited to attend. By Authority of Rappahannock County Democratic Committee, _ A H Key ear Chairman Grain Program Benefits There has been much discussion lately on the benefits versus the costs of participating in the 1978 Wheat and Feed Grain SetAside Program. As the SetAside Program is a voluntary program only you can make this decision. Probably the best way to look at this program is as an insurance program, with the set-aside acres representing the premium. Consider these benefits that have been earned in 1977: 1. Over 12 million dollars were paid to eligible Virginia farmers under the Low Yield Disaster Program in 1977. 2. Wheat deficiency payments in the amount of 2.9 million were paid to eligible Virginia farmers. 3. Barley deficiency payments will be made on the 1977 crop. Can you afford to miss out on these benefits? The decision is yours. Since there is no penalty for revising intentions or withdrawing from the program, every producer should sign up for the program even if your planting intentions are not definite at this time. For mg^p information on the Set-Aside Program contact the ASCS office. Bake Sale The Washington Ladies Auxiliary, as pan of the first annual town craft fair, will hold a bake sale on Saturday, April 1, in the Trinity Episcopal Church parking lot. Hotdogs, coffee and soft drinks will be on sale in addition to cakes, pies and cookies. Residents of Hampton District who haven’t been asked yet to contribute are urged to bring their baked goods to the booth early Saturday morning. r 1 Saturday, March 18, was a new experience for many students. Instead of sleeping late or watching favorite cartoons, school was in session. But I believe most would rather come now, instead of during the hot summer months! The day was an unusual one, though; we went only to our first three classes with everyone eating on one lunch shift. Afterwards, we had a special treat—a basketball game with the Seniors against the Juniors. RCHS basketball team members were not permitted to play, but the Seniors had the advantage since the majority of them had played before. It's also not such an easy job to stop a 6’4” guy such as Scott Jenkins or Pete Aylor! The final boys score was 44-14, with the Seniors on top. A highlight of the game occurred when a Junior player took the ball and began going the wrong way; even worse, he continued after the whistle blew! The girls’ game was better matched, but again the Seniors came out on top. Well, at least for the Juniprs, there will be another year. On the preceding Friday, we were visited by a high school band from Nelson County. They played songs from the past and present and a female vocalist sang, too. The majority of the school seemed to enjoy the drummer the most; he’ll always have himself a fan club at this school. The baseball team has been practicing for the past few weeks. Most everyone has been staying inside, waiting for the snow to melt; even though it’s been warm enough to practice outside, it gets rather “sloshy” and muddy in the outfield. You definitely don’t want to wear those new white spikes, not just yet! The team this year consists of Seniors Roger Jenkins, Chip Frye, Robert Payne, Donny Compton, "Weasel” Carter and Brooke Miller; Juniors Gary Settle, Eddie Carroll, Rick Johnson, Nils Aylor, Mitch Wilson and Kenny Norman; and Sophomores Gary Leake, Jeff Jenkins, Tony Wayland, Tony Armentrout, Larry Settle and James Hackley. The guys are coached by David Hrbek. On Monday, March 21, the team played its first scrimmage. The Panthers traveled to Manassas to play Manassas Park. It was a good showing, but we came up on the short end by a score of 6-3. The girls' and boys’ track teams had their first big track meet on Wednesday, March 29, competing against Strasburg, Page and William Monroe. Coaching for Rappahannock are Ann Spieker for the girls’ team and Carl Studt for the boys. Competing in each event for the girls’ team are Eleanor Phillips, Rhonda Estes and Donna North in the shot; Jennet Beebe, Eleanor Phillips and Joyce Foster, discus; Jamell Prudham, Johanna Day, Eleanor Phillips and Dawn Keithley in the high jump; and Wendy Jenkins and Liz Freeman in the long jump. Johanna Day, Lynnelle Prudham, Natalie Swindler and Rhonda Wiley will compete in the hurdles; Jamelle Prudham, Jackie Myers, Eleanor Phillips and Rhonda Brown in the 100 yard dash; Ann Thomas, Jennifer Raney, Marion Eastham and Sharon Settle in the mile run. Janice Aylor, Natalie Swindler, Lynnelle Prudham and Rhonda Estes are the 880 relay team; Jamelle Prudham, Johanna Day, Beth Fannon and Rhonda Wiley will run the 440; Jackie Myers, Eleanor Phillips, Rhonda Brown and Laura Tupper are members of the 440 relay team; and Dawn DRY CLEAN WHEN YOU CARE ... ui/i/unqbon sJcr.L. cFabkicm Fine Fashions and Draperies Our Specialty Professional Tailoring Suede Cleaning 117 E.

School Budget Adopted Over Objections (Continued from Page 1) considered the teachers’ cost of living increase as 6.8 per cent or 4.3 per cent. “In our minds, it’s 6.8 per cent,” answered Chairman Beverly Massie. "You can break it down but the total increase is 6.8 per cent,” agreed Bloomer. Teachers as a group are the only employees of the school system with an experience scale, he noted. “In order to be fair and equitable, we figured the overall total increase and applied that percentage to all employees,” Bloomer said. Experience Penalized “I’d like to plead the case for experienced teachers,” said Mrs. Lucio Kilby. “Our projected increase is never as much as the beginning teachers,” she maintained. “I kind of resent the fact that beginning teachers are given a larger percentage increase.” Sharon Kilpatrick noted that the S500 increase in each step of the salary scale gave beginning teachers at the bottom of the scale a much larger percentage increase than experienced teachers at the top of the scale. By including the regular scale increase as a cost of living raise, “you’re telling us that the experience increment scale you showed us when we were hired doesn’t mean anything." argued Bomberger.

Qubain, (703) 261 2138 9a6 WANTED TO RENT small house OR COT TAGE WANTED in exchange for caretaking or minimal rent by Rappahannock resident needing to relocate due to highway construction AREA REFERENCES H Schiff, Box 73E, Amissville 27tfn Reliable person would like to rent small house (three rooms) with woodburning stove in Sperryville or Washington Call Baldwin's Grocery, 675 3383 27a6pd Logan, a coach at the high school, asked if the School Board had included an increase in the extra curricular activity pay scale in the proposed budget. Bloomer answered that extra curricular pay hadn’t been increased, adding that, instead, the salary scale had been raised $500 to make Rappahannock teachers’ pay competitive with other counties. "I don’t understand how you feel that being on the bottom is competitive,” countered seventh grade teacher Lynn Baines. “You’re also telling teachers who’ve been here for a length of time that their loyalty is not worth much,’’ she added. Seventh grade history teacher Susan Henry asked why the extra-curricular pay scale hadn’t been increased. Mrs. Massie answered that, considering the amount of money the School Board members had to work with, they felt a 6.8 per cent increase across the Board was the most equitable allocation of funds. Jennings Hobson noted the School Board was paying teachers less for the same amount of work, in terms of spending power due to inflation. “You’ve given them a 4.3 per cent cost of living increase when the cost of living has gone up by almost seven per cent.” Paid One-Third “You're talking about being competitive in teachers’ salaries,” interjected Logan. “We get less than one-third tne amount paid for extracurricular duties in surrounding school systems. We work as hard,” he added. Bloomer responded that the School Board had “hit” salaries and degree supplements in this year’s proposed budget. An increase for extra-curricular duties “did not receive a favorable reaction,” he said. Wiley asked the Board members if the comments made at the meeting would be considered before they acted on the proposed budget. Mrs. Massie answered that she would ask the School Board to either adopt or rework the proposed budget after the line-by-line review was completed. She noted that the Board was required by law to present the proposed budget to the Supervisors by April 1. “Are you going to vote on it tonight?” asked Mrs. Baines. In response, Mrs. Massie repeated that she would ask the Board to consider adoption at the close of the line-by-line review. Then she closed discussion on teacher salaries. The next category, other instructional costs, included compensation for teacher aides. Susan Henry asked if the 6.8 per cent pay increase for aides included an increment for experience. “They get a 6.8 per cent increase from their current salary just the same as teachers,” Bloomer replied. ‘“Then the increments don’t mean much.” countered Mrs. Henry. "It pays to be a nonprofessional,” interjected Mrs. Baines.

Jennings Hobson noted that the amount alloted for instructional materials in the proposed budget was the same as in the current year if the $2,000 set aside for a new mandated gifted children’s program wasn’t included. With inflation, said Hobson, this means that the School Board will be able to buy less. “Is that consistent with good educational goals?” he asked. Bloomer replied that the School Board members had to work realistically with available funds and therefore were unable to increase the amount budgeted for instructional materials. In the category of attendance and health services, School Board member Paul Nichols asked if it wouldn't be advisable to allow enough money for a full-time psychologist in the event that it was impossible to continue sharing the services of a parttime psychologist with Fauquier County. None of the other Board members responded to his suggestion. Only Four Tested Lynn Baines stated that the Rappahannock School system was already far behind in the area of psychological testing to identify handicapped and learning disabled children. “I put in 13 requests for testing in October. Only four have been tested so far,” she said. “There is a dire need for psychological testing. We need a full-time psychologist now!” Under transportation services, one of the high school teachers informed the Board that funds for the activity bus would run out by next Thursday, thereby endangering the spring extracurricular program. Sharon Kilpatrick suggested that the Board include enough funds in the proposed budget to pay an activity bus driver for the whole year so that kids involved in sports, the yearbook, drama and other extracurricular programs could get home. Logan noted that many extra-curricular sponsors drive hundreds of miles transporting students. "I’ve got a figure of 1,700 miles that I drove this season,” he said. “Is there any response to that?" “I’m not surprised,’’ Bloomer replied, adding that many sponsors spend far more out-of-pocket money in supporting their programs than they receive in supplemental pay for the added responsibility. Moving on to operation of school plants. Bloomer reported that custodians paid below the new minimum wage would be moved up to meet new pay standards while employees at minimum wage would receive the 6.8 per cent cost of living wage increase. It takes more time and money for teachers to prepare for their careers than it takes a bus driver, custodian or teachers aide, remarked Mrs. Baines. “Why do they all receive the same percentage increase?” she asked. The cost of living has gone up for everybody, Mrs. Massie answered. Certified Janitor* "Are janitors required to be certified and retrained every five years to retain their certification?” asked Sean Kilpatrick. His question sparked applause from the teachers in the audience. “To be very succinct, no sir,” Bloomer responded. In the category of fixed charges, Bomberger informed the Board that 95.5 per cent of Virginia teachers receive some partial payment towards insurance costs yet in Rappahannock, the Education Association’s request for this was denied. "Why?” he asked. “It’s been the policy of the Board to put money into salaries and not into fringe benefits,” Mrs. Massie answered. The majority of county tax payers do not have any benefits built into their income, she said, and so would resent teachers receiving benefits paid for with local tax dollars. Wiley countered that he felt the majority of Rappahannock's tax payers wouldn’t be opposed to fringe benefits for teachers. ‘‘Thank you for your comment,” Mrs. Massie replied. “You're the School Board and you should be concerned with the teachers, not other taxpayers,” remarked Susan Hrbek. ‘‘Thank you for your comment,” Mrs. Massie repeated. Kon Wiley suggested adding $200 per teacher to the fixed charges to cover partial insurance payment but his proposal drew no response from the Board. Lynn Baines criticized the allotment of only $250 for Rappahannock's summer school program. “This is another area where we’ve been seriously lacking,” she maintained, charging that children who’ve fallen behind during the year have no opportunity to catch up without a good summer school, particularly at the elementary level in reading and math. Instead of paying parents for transporting their children to classes in other counties, “It’s time Rappahannock County stood on its own two feet and provided a decent summer school program,” Mrs. Baines insisted. No Relief For Overcrowding Bomberger asked why there were was nothing included in capital outlay to provide additional space at the high school and elementary school. Bloomer said that the School Board and Board of Supervisors planned to reach a mutual decision on what type of capital outlay was needed to relieve overcrowding and how a building program would be funded. “It hasn’t been done yet,” he added. “The schools are already drastically overcrowded. When are you going to start thinking about expansion,” asked Sean Kilpatrick? Mrs. Massie recalled that a special committee was formed two years ago to study space needs but had made no recommendation on expenditure of funds. She said that plans for expansion had already been drawn up but no final decision had been reached and so nothing was included in this year’s budget. When will there be a public discussion on the proposed expansion? asked Kilpatrick. "When will the plans be made public?” School Board members and members of the Board of Supervisors have already talked about expansion plans and something for building — "a projection of what we need and when we'd like to see our goals reached” — will be included in next year’s budget, Mrs. Massie announced. "Your job as the School Board is to decide what we need and then sell it to the Supervisors,” maintained Hobson, adding that a budget item was needed now . to begin moving forward on a capital improvements program. Mrs. Lynn Baines asked if the School Board didn’t already have a six year plan that dealt with capital im WASHINGTON (Va.; La) WHITE HOUSE Large charming Victorian on 2 nice acres, walk to medical center, restaurant shops, courthouse. $75,000.

Bloomer replied that he’d never seen one although he w&s aware of “goals and objectives” adopted by the Board. He acknowledged that there was a legal requirement to update the general school plan this coming fall, adding that this would be done with the “community involvement” that accompanied adoption of the school system’s six year plans for special and vocational education. Over The Minimum— Barely “How can you update a plan if we don’t have one?” asked Mrs. Baines. Bloomer agreed and amended his language to "develop” a general school plan. At the conclusion of the line-by-line budget review, Bloomer announced that the county was approximately $9,000 over the minimum per pupil funding level established by the Standards of Quality. The General Assembly raised the funding level this year from $815 to $901, he reported. Based on Rappahannock’s average daily school membership, this would require a budget increase of $104,000. The proposed budget increase is $113,069 — $9,000 over the minimum. However, Bloomer noted that Rappahannock schools would be underfunded if an $18,000 expenditure for high school roof repairs was moved from maintenance of school plants (an operational category) to capital outlay. “As I see it, we’re trying to stay as close to the minimum as possible,” said Ron Wiley, pointing to the School Board members’ creed to work towards “the highest educational opportunities that the cqunty can afford.” “That is what we have tried to do,” Mrs. Massie replied. “The whole thing hinges on what the county can afford,” countered Wiley. In final comments. Educational Association President Don Bomberger urged the School Board not to recommend the proposed budget to the Supervisors for adoption. “Tonight has been the first opportunity for anyone to see the budget,” said Bomberger, adding that more time was needed to examine it closely. He described it as "inadequate to meet the needs of teachers (who) are again being asked to give up to inflation their experience increment... The salary increase guarantees that we will remain at the bottom of the heap among the 134 school divisions of the state." He added that adoption of the proposed budget would mean that the maximum salary paid Rappahannock teachers would be S2.000 below the national average teacher salary and at best, the maximum Rappahannock salary would equal the average paid to Virginia teachers as a whole. Money And Cost The School Board must feel very restricted by what they feel the Supervisors will approve, maintained Ron Wiley. Money and cost have been looked at instead of needs, he charged, recommending that the School Board reconsider the proposed budget. Acknowledging that deadline for submitting the budget to the Supervisors was April 1, Jennings Hobson suggested that action be delayed to allow for consideration of the “very serious concerns” expressed at the meeting. Sean Kilpatrick was the last citizen to address the Board. “It’s time to stop being polite and circumspect,” announced Kilpatrick. “This is not a tentative budget. This is not a proposed budget. This is it except for a few fudged bucks here and there. You know it. I know it. Everybody knows it.” He questioned why a tentative budget couldn’t have been presented by the Superintendent, in time to allow for consideration of public comment, as it is done in other counties throughout Virginia. "This hasn’t been done here in Rappahannock," he continued. “Why can’t things be done in the open here? Why wasn’t this meeting held two or three weeks ago?” he asked. There’s no time now for setting priorities on what the School Board is going to approach the Supervisors with, Kilpatrick said, describing the County’s governing body as “Mr. Luke No Fooling! By JIM BANKSTON Game Warden Trout season opens in Virginia on April 1. This year over half a million brook, brown and rainbow trout will be stocked in the designated waters throughout the state. The trout streams in Madison and Rappahannock counties alone will provide at least 12,000 opportunities for success. In these two counties trout have been distributed as follows: Garth Run-2250, Rose River-3000, Robinson River-3100, Hughes River2700, and Piney Branch1500. Traditionally, April 1 has been a day when silly pranks and jokes have bjjcn tolerated and even been encouraged. This type of foolish behavior, however, has no place on the trout streams. Here the individual must always act responsibly, practice common sense, and follow several simple rules of etiquette: 1. Keep trout streams and adjoining areas free of litter. 2. Do not disturb areas of water already occupied by other fishermen. 3. Refrain from drinking alcoholic beverages while fishing. 4. Know and obey the fishing laws. Irresponsible and inconsiderate behavior on the trout streams can have serious repercussions. Since the stocking of designated trout waters in many areas is dependent on the permission of the landowners adjoining the streams,, any abuses by so-called "sportsmen” can jeopardize this goodwill and consequently perpetuate the trend of posting streams and property. If legitimate sportsmen are to continue to have places for their recreation, they must realize the seriousness of the situation and take an active part in cleaning up their sport.

CANNON (703) 937-4900 and his tightwad friends.” Kilpatrick added, however, that at least the Supervisors are "trying to do their job. You’re running away from your responsibilities,” he told the School Board members. Mrs. Massie responded that the School Board had held an earlier budget meeting to receive public input. "But there was no budget,” countered Kilpatrick. Suggestions made at that first meeting were “taken under advisement” by the School Board in formulating the proposed budget. “Taken under advisement? Thank you,” concluded Kilpatrick as he sat down. Before a vote was taken on the proposed budget, School Board member Paul Nichols stated that he thought "this meeting tonight was for public input to give us something to work on ... Many things brought up tonight deserve consideration.” He suggested postponing action on the budget to allow for reexamination of proposals and recommended that the School Board ask Supervisor Chairman E.P. Luke (in the audience at the meeting) to extend the time limit for submitting the budget to the Supervisors. “The School Board will go by law” and present the budget to the Supervisors by r April 1, Mn. Massie responded. Board member Walter Mastenon moved that the proposed budget be adopted, Arthllnda Quaintance seconded. Nichols voted against the motion. It carried three votes to one.
