Others at the table include, from left, Cecil King, Beverly Massie and Pinson Neal. Hunter Controls Proposed Rappahannock Game Warden Jim Bankston presented two proposed "hunter control" ordinances prepared by Commonwealth Attorney George Davis to the Supervisors at last Thursday's Board meeting. The ordinances, aimed at controlling illegal hunting on posted property, would (1) make it illegal to transport a loaded rifle or shotgun in a motor vehicle and (2) make it illegal to carry a loaded fire arm on a public right-of-way unless the individual has written permission to hunt from property owners on both sides of the road. Supervisor Dick Latham asked Bankston how the ordinances proposed for adoption in Rappahannock compared with those in other counties where law enforcement officials have been successful in prosecuting violations. Bankston replied that the ordinances proposed here were exactly the same as those adopted two years ago in Culpeper County. (According to Culpeper Game Warden Lee Haupt, Culpeper achieved convictions on 30 of 31 citations during the first year “hunter control” ordinances were in force. Bankston reported earlier that this year’s conviction rate was running at about the same level.) The Supervisors agreed to advertise the ordinances for adoption at the regular May 4 Board meeting. Davis noted that the state Director of Game and Inland Fisheries has to be notified of adoption by May 1 in order for the ordinances to be enforceable by Game Wardens. By holding the hearing on May 4, the ordinances—if adopted—could not be enforced by Game Department personnel during the coming hunting season since the new Rappahannock laws would not appear in the Game Commission handbook supplied every hunter who purchases a license. The ordinances, however, would still be enforceable by the Rappahannock Sheriffs Department. The Supervisors face a series of special budget meetings in addition to their regular monthly session and so agreed to wait until May 4 to hold their public hearing on the hunting regulations. Town Clean-Up Week Set Clean-up Week for the Town of Washington has been scheduled for April 1722. On Saturday, April 22, there will be a special pickup for all types of trash. School Board Meeting The Rappahannock School Board will hold a special session on Thursday, April 13, at 7:30 in the elementary school library to approve next year’s budget for the federally funded Title I programs. Title I programs include the reading labs at the elementary and high schools and the mathematics lab at the elementary school. Intervention Suit Filed By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH Rappahannock Nrw* Staff Writer At last Thursday’s Board meeting, the Rappahannock Supervisors voted to petition the court for the right to intervene in action brought against the Board of Zoning Appeals by the Rappahannock Ski Corporation. The Supervisors also requested that Commonwealth Attorney George Davis meet with BZA lawyer Robert Fitzgerald. Although funds to pay the BZA’s legal counsel were not formally authorized on Thursday, Chairman E. P. Luke indicated that the Supervisors were responsible for attorney’s fees and would transfer money from the general fund to the BZA account at a future date. “There’s a constant harangue going on in this county regarding the decision of the Board of Zoning Appeals (to deny the ski area's special use permit),” stated Luke. “What happened was a total breakdown of communications,” he said, adding that there was enough blame for everybody to take his fair share. According to Col. Luke, the Supervisors disagreed with the portion of the BZA’s decision that denied the ski area’s request to resume skiing operations at the Harris Hollow property. Luke reported that the Board had consulted with George Davis and had been told that “a way out for the county” would be to flic an intervention suit. At a special executive meeting two weeks ago, the Supervisors expressed a strong view against transferring fends to the BZA for legal counsel, Luke said. “I think that was an unfortunate situation,” he said, adding that he felt the Supervisors had an obligation to pay the BZA’s legal fees. However, he noted that the BZA’s action in making a decision to fight the writ filed by the ski area and afterwards applying for funds to pay an attorney was a "sore sticking point” with the Supervisors. Luke added that he’d heard private groups in the county were willing to raise money to cover the BZA’s legal costs and cautioned citizens that such action was illegal. “No, it’s not illegal,” interjected Davis. Luke qualified his remark by explaining that all dispersals of money by the'' BZA required approval from the Supervisors. Private citizens could organize a fund drive but the records would have to be audited by the Supervisors’ accountant and all money would first have to be deposited in the general fund before transfer to the BZA account, according to the Supervisor Chairman. Joint Meeting Proposed Luke reported that he’d talked to BZA Chairman Josef Gardiner before Thursday’s Supervisor meeting and on the basis of their communication, suggested that the Supervisors "favorably consider” a joint meeting with the BZA to “calm the waters” and restore communications between the two groups. Admiral Gardiner interjected that he hadn’t agreed to an actual meeting, only that such a meeting might be wise. "Anytime you calm the waters, it’s a good thing,” said Gardiner but added that he would have to consult with BZA attorney Fitzgerald before any meeting took place. The BZA’s decision to deny the ski area application in its entirety was "reached in good faith and in accordance with the law,” Oardja^r continued. Defense of the BZA's action is imperative, he maintained. To do otherwise "would destroy the integrity of zoning in Rappahannock County,” Gardiner added. In a previous resolution to the Supervisors, the BZA asked for $3,000 to cover attorney's fees. Luke noted that the BZA account currently held $1,897. Davis asked what would be the total cost of legal defense for the BZA. Luke said that $3,000 was an estimate from legal counsel on how much it would cost the BZA to defend itself against the ski area’s current suit. “I have no idea Budget Hearings Col. E. P. Luke, Chairmen of the Rappahannock Supervisor!, announced a new procedure for considering the county budget at last Thursday’s meeting. Luke said he’d requested all department heads to submit their requests for the coming year to Clerk Diane Bruce by April 15. In addition to the regular budget hearing he said he planned to hold two special sessions —one on the Welfare Department budget and one on the school budget. No date was set for either. Luke reported that copies of the proposed school budget were on file at the School Board offices in Sperryvillc and urged interested individuals to inspect the budget before the special Supervisors’ meeting so they could make informed comments. how far it might go,” said Luke, adding that zoning laws were of no value if not defended and defended properly. $14,000 Unspent Gardiner recalled that the BZA had turned back approximately $14,000 in unused funds to the county over the last ten years. Considering this, "the county would be very remiss if it did not support us," he maintained. Supervisor Clarence Baldwin asked if the Supervisors would be liable for the balance if they authorized $3,000 for BZA attorney fees and the final costs were $10,000. Since the BZA is “a creature of the county,” the Supervisors would be responsible for attorney’s costs whether the initial $3,000 was authorized or not, Luke answered. “Are we obligated to appropriate money for their counsel?” Baldwin asked George Davis. If the Supervisors approve the appointment of counsel for the BZA, then they are also obligated for the legal fees, Davis replied. Gardiner interjected that Davis had advised it was legal for the Supervisors to pay attorney’s fees for the BZA when that Board had previously requested an "outside” lawyer. Supervisor Butch East ham asked who was the attorney hired by the BZA. Gardiner answered that Robert Fitzgerald was a highly recommended and respected zoning lawyer who previously had served as a state Senator and Commonwealth Attorney for Fairfax County. “Edwin Bcnnet Williams is good too but we have to (Continued on Page 2) Supervisors Postpone Action Planners Recommend Denial On Rezoninsr By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH Arundel Newspaper Writer At the close of a public hearing last Wednesday that was marred by personal attacks and insults, the Rappahannock Planners voted unanimously to recommend denial of a rezoning request from Dorothy Davis. The Supervisors' public hearing on Thursday for the same rezoning was quieter and Chairman E. P. Luke announced that the Board would delay its decision until April 20th’s special budget meeting. About 20 citizens attended the Planners’ hearing on Mrs. Davis’ request to rezone three and a half acres outside Washington from agriculture to commercial. In the application, she proposed to use the existing buildings on the property for sale, repair and refinishing of antiques, sale of arts and crafts, farmer’s market and other related or compatible uses. mrs. uavis, me ursi speaker, volunteered to be sworn in before making her presentation. “I’d like for the opposition to be sworn in also,” she suggested but Commission Chairman Herbert Barksdale replied that it wasn’t necessary. Barksdale also told Mrs. Pavis to refrain from criticizing anything printed in The Rappahannock News regarding the rezoning request after Mrs. Davis asked if she should address the “abuse” that had appeared in the paper. Relating the history of why she had asked for a rezoning, Mrs. Davis reported that construction of a limited access road had divided their farm in two when the Washington by-pass was built. She said she’d received only half as much in damages , as other properties down the road because the Highway Department considered that the Davis land had appreciated in value as a business location. She said she’d been told by Highway Department personnel that her farm was valuable as commercial and not agricultural land due to its new cross-over on a limited access road. She also stated that she had used the red bam on the farm in her remodeling and building businesses. However, due to a physical disability suffered in the last year, she said she could no longer pursue either of these enterprises and wanted a commercial rezoning so she could derive income from the property. Rezontng Asked Mrs. Davis explained that she had applied for the rezoning in her name because the property was hers by survivorship and dower right and because she had a personal investment in the farm house and barn. She maintained that nothing she proposed for the property was in conflict with the zoning ordinance and that the land's most appropriate use was in the county ordinance’s B-2 district. "You must understand that what we're proposing isn’t going to change the exterior of the buildings in the least,” she told the Planners, adding that the planned usages wouldn’t pollute the air, water or soil, wouldn’t create noise or require any additional road construction. "Once the property is zoned commercial, there’s nothing the county or anyone else can do to restrict any use listed by right in a commercial zone," Planner Dave Fannon noted. (Uses allowed by right in a B-2 district include any activity being pursued in the villages of Sperryville, Flint Hill and Woodville; restaurants, inns, motels, and hotels; wholesale bakeries; pressing and dry cleaning plants; printing plant; auto service stations; veterinary hospitals and kennels and commercial dairies.) Fannon asked Mrs. Davis why she didn’t apply for a special use permit in an agricultural zone instead of commercial rezoning if all she wanted to do on the property were the uses listed in her rezoning application. “If Mary Selles, who currently rents the Davis property and plans to operate the antique business there, is pleased and I am pleased,” said Mrs. Davis, “then we will enter into a long term lease." However, if both parties aren't satisfied, “then I want to be able to do other things with that property...1 don’t want to have to come back everytime I have a new tenant,” she concluded. Mary Selles told the Planners that she wanted to continue in the antique business in the Rappahannock area and considered the Davis’ farm an ideal location for her purposes. As manager of the proposed enterprise, she said she had no desire to operate anything but "a tasteful and controlled antique business” on the property in question. C. J. Miller Jr. was the third and final speaker in favor of the rezoning application. Miller said he'd been born and raised in Washington and had lived in the town for 81'/i years. “Nobody’s more proud of the town and county than I am," he maintained. ”1 can’t see why that barn can't be turned into an antique shop...You’re not taking property out of agricultural production because they can’t grow anything there...What's the use of (Continued on Page 8) Special Ed School Program Approved At the April 4 meeting of the Rappahannock School Board, Assistant Superintendent Ray Hogan asked for and received authorization to enter into a regional special education program with Fauquier County. Under the agreement, Rappahannock will share the services of a full-time specialist in educational evaluation with Fauquier. Hogan reported that Rappahannock failed to meet the $7,500 minimum level for federal funding of its special education program. Nineteen students were identified as handicapped as of October 1, 1977. This number grew to 61 by February, 1978. Hogan explained that federal regulations call for taking an average of the two numbers and multiplying that figure by $115. If the result is over $7,500, the county could qualify for federal funds. However, Rappahannock’s total fell almost $3,000 short of the minimum. Under the agreement he worked up with Fauquier County, Hogan said the county could use $4,600 in federal funds for handicapped education to get half-time services from an additional staffer that Fauquier would hire. Evaluation Bottleneck He noted that four components—a psychological test, educational evaluation, medical examination and sociological report—are required before a child can be placed in a handicapped program. Rappahannock has a bottleneck with the educational evaluation, he said. The county has no qualified person to handle this job and must depend on the volunteer efforts of the Piedmont Vocation School staff to work Rappahannock students in there for educational evaluation. “Would it help us to go over to Fauquier and do some observing of their overall program?” asked School Board member Alan Stokes. "Aren't they mainstreaming those kids?” St0 :s added, in reference to the educational practice of including handicapped children in normal classes to the greatest extent possible rather than keeping the special education students segregated in self-contained groups. Hogan answered that, in Fauquier, some handicaooed students were mainstreamed, some kept in special education or learning disabled classes and some sent through a combination of both. Regulations require that handicapped children be educated in the "least restrictive environment," Hogan said, adding that there was no "hard and fast rule" requiring that all handicapped children be included in regular classes. Opportunity To Update “A cooperative program with Fauquier would give us the opportunity to update some of the special education needs in Rappahannock,” the Assistant Superintendent continued. He noted that it might also be possible for Rappahannock teachers to share in Fauquier's in-service training program. "Any wav you look at it. Rappahannock's getting the best end of the bargain,” Hogan maintained. He reported that plans were already in the offing to send Rappahannock staff to a Fauquier workshop in April on the identification of special education students (Continued on Page 2) Flower Show Set The Rappahannock County Garden Club will present an inter-club (lower show in the auditorium of the old Washington Elementary School on Saturday, June 3.

Local attorney J. W. Fletcher, Jr., presented a moving tribute to the former county treasurer and deputy clerk Eva Smith recited Joyce Kilmer’s poem, “Trees." Afterwards, everyone took a turn dropping a shovel of dirt on tlu* dogwood tree planted in Jock Brown’s memory.

Subdivision Proposed Another large lot subdivision is in the works, this one for 16 lots on 480 acres near Huntly. James B. Dawson filed an application on April 4 for either approval by the Zoning Administrator or rezoning and approval by the Supervisors for Sommarbeth Estates Subdivision in Wakefield Magisterial District. According to the application, 16 lots ranging from 25 to 50 acres are proposed. Two lots front on Route 522, six front on Route 662 and the remaining eight lots will be served by approximately 9,000 feet of gravel roadway with grades from a minimum of zero per cent to a maximum of 10 per cent. The application states that the only significant land disturbing activity will be the construction of an access road which will expose approximately 180,000 square feet to potential erosion or flooding during and after construction. It also states that adequate safeguards will be taken in accordance with Rappahannock’s erosion and sedimentation control ordinance and that soil and drainage on the property is suitable for individual septic tanks. In a request for approval of rezoning from conservation-agriculture to residential subdivision, the application carries the notation “if needed.” The preliminary plat, by requesting approval from either the Zoning Administrator or governing body, also raises the question of whether a rezoning is required. However, section 6-8-1 of the Rappahannock Subdivision Ordinance states that “no final plat of any subdivision containing more than five (5) lots shall be recorded unless or until it shall have been rezoned and approved by the governing body.” According to Planning Commission Chairman Herbert Barksdale, the Planners have not discussed Dawson’s application and no date has been set as yet for a public hearing on rezoning the 480 acres involved. School Program (Continued from Page 1) with a follow-up session scheduled during the summer. “If we don’t participate with Fauquier (in the regional program), there's approximately $4,600 that we won’t be able to take advantage of,” Hogan told the School Board. He repeated that these federal ‘‘flow through” funds would help to eliminate the bottleneck in administering educational evaluation of handicapped children. School Board Chairman Beverly Massie’s request for a motion to approve the regional program met with silence from the other Board members. “As soon as we identify these children, we can begin to place them in programs to help them,” Mrs. Massie explained.

M 7-4555 programs for the handicapped will still be in force, whether Rappahannock accepts the regional plan or not, Hogan states. He added that Rappahannock schools may be able to qualify for their own federally funded handicapped program as more children are identified through the services of a specialist in educational evaluation. Board members Arthlinda Quaintance, Walter Masterson and Alan Stokes expressed reservations about committing Rappahannock to a federally funded program when federal funds may be withdrawn at any time, leaving the county responsible for the total costs. However, a motion to approve was offered, seconded and carried unanimously. In the area of extracurricular activities, the School Board approved an extension in funding for the activity bus and payment to an elementary teacher to serve as assistant girls track coach. Mrs. Massie reported that there were sufficient funds in the transportation category of this year’s budget to pay for an extension in the afterschool activity bus. The money was there, she explained. because it had not been necessary to run three extra buses anticipated for half-day kindergarten classes. She requested, however, that the athletic department submit “more realistic” budget figures in the future if a bus was desired for the entire school year. The Board approved payment of S150 to elementary physical education teacher Bobbie Powers to serve as assistant track coach. "The sum is consistent with what is paid for similar extra-curricular activity responsibilities," Superintendent William Bloomer added. In other action, the Board authorized Bloomer to look into rates charged by various exterminator companies and to get some expert advice on control from persons not affiliated with professional exterminators. The authorization came after elementary principal Graham Spencer reported that four classrooms and the halls at the elementary school may be infested with termites.

Intervention Suit Filed (Continued from Page 1) consider the money,' countered Eastham. Reasonable Charge Luke said he’d checked with several other attorney! and had been told that $2,500 to $3,000 was a reasonable charge to defend the BZA against the ski area's petition for a reversal in the decision to deny the special use permit application. Gardiner added that Fitzgerald had agreed to take the case on an hourly basis and was using the least amount of hours possible. “He agreed he will not go over $3,000 for this hearing,” Gardiner said. Supervisor H. B. Wood agreed with Luke and Gardiner th'at a joint meeting with the BZA would "help to calm the waters.” He reported that he had voted against intervening in the ski area suit during the Supervisors' previous executive session in another attempt to calm the situation. “Mr. Davis, you're our counsel,” said Luke. “Do you think a joint meeting would help?” he asked. Davis agreed that a “Death And Dying” Death is a subject that everyone must face, but few care to think about. At some point in life, the prospect of death becomes reality. People undergo conflicting emotions in coping with the reality of death, whether it be facing dying oneself, or facing the loss of a loved one. The Mental Health Association of Culpeper is sponsoring a program for the public on the subject of "Death and Dying”. The program will feature Father William A. Wendt, former Rector of St. Stephen of the Incarnation in Washington, D. C. Father Wendt is now devoting his time exclusively to the research and study of the problems of death and dying. The program will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. April 18, in the Parish Hall of St. Stephen's Church, Culpeper. It will be followed by a discussion period during which questions may be asked of Father Wendt.

Luke suggested that the Supervisors show “good faith” by appropriating the additional $1,200 necessary for the BZA’s attorney’s fees. “You have your attorney give you a ruling,” he told Gardiner. “Then we’ll have a meeting.” “I don’t see how you can have an amicable meeting unless one or the other side backs down," interjected Davis. He announced that it would violate his professional integrity to offer the Supervisors "dishonest legal advice” and so he would counsel the Board against reversing its decision to intervene in the suit. “Unless they (the BZA) are willing to change their position, 1 don’t see any fruitful result” coming from a joint meeting, Davis said. If the Supervisors are unwilling to even try a joint meeting with the BZA, "then we would be more obstinate than I’d like to see us be,” Luke responded. No Fruitful Results Davis said that the judge may require that the counsels for both bodies meet but repeated that he could see "no fruitful results” in a joint session between the members of the BZA and the Board of Supervisors. Wood suggested that no additional funds be appropriated for the BZA until after a meeting between Davis and Fitzgerald. Supervisor Dick Latham supported Wood's proposal. "I think we should agree that if there can be no accommodation. we'll support them (the BZA) with an appropriation of $1,200,” Luke commented. Wood repeated his suggestion to wait until after the two attorneys meet. "If worse comes to worst, we re generally of the consensus that we’ll back them to the tune of $3,000,” Luke said, trying again to get a commitment from the rest of the Board. This time, Eastham reiterated Wood’s proposal to wait until after Davis and Fitzgerald consult before authorizing funds for a BZA attorney. FUe First “There’s nothing to talk about until the intervention is filed and before the court,” Davis interjected. “I thought we’d already decided,” Baldwin remarked, referring to the Supervisors’ vote (taken at a closed meeting two weeks ago) to authorize Davis’s intervention. Admiral Gardiner asked Luke if the Supervisors had "already voted on this and we don’t know anything about it?” “We’re going to vote now,” Luke answered. The motion to file an intervention suit carried four to one with H. B. Wood casting the only dissenting vote. Before reading the intervention petition, Luke noted that Davis had advised the Supervisors that he couldn’t talk with the BZA’s attorney “without filing the suit I’d hoped we wouldn't have to file.” In the intervention petition, the Supervisors allege that the BZA had no expressed power to grant or deny the special use permit application from the ski area. The plaintiff knew or should have known this and therefore acted in bad faith by failing to exhaust the administrative remedy available through appealing to the Board of Supervisors. Due to this bad faith, the ski area should be held responsible for all legal -costs incurred by all parties. In conclusion, the Supervisors request that the BZA’s action be declared null and void by the court. “Sign it and file it with the clerk right now and we’re in business,” said Davis. He told the Board that he would probably ask Judge Carlton Penn to hear the intervention petition on April 27 at noon. If the cost for attorney fees goes over $3,000, “as a creature of the county, I think we’re obligated to support you,” Luke said in a final comment to Admiral Gardiner.

Much of this information you can get from “eyeballing” the area, but there are important factors which the eye cannot see. For example, local property taxes, public services, public transportation, hospitals, churches, community facilities. What are the zoning restrictions? Are there any unusual deed restrictions common to the area on how you might use, alter, or expand your property? What are the future prospects for the neighborhood? A good, local Realtor can be a quarry of such information. He should have a feeling born of the familiarity for the specific neighborhoods in his territory.

Park Visits Down Visits to Shenandoah National Park this March amounted to less than half those for March, 1977, according to information from Park Superintendent Robert R. Jacobsen. In March, 1978, 67,700 people visited the Park compared to 158,100 the previous year. For Calendar V^«y/ 1978 compared with Calendar Year 1977, the decrease is 54.6 percent. Jacobsen attributed part of the reported decrease to procedures for counting travel that were adopted on January 1, 1978. A new multiplier (2.8 rather than 3.5) is being used for converting vehicles to visitors and travel on only three secondary roads is being counted. At the Park's weather station in Big Meadows, the maximum temperature recorded in March was 64 degrees and the minimum was -2 degrees. Precipitation totaled 3.51 inches and snowfall totaled 10.5 inches. ARE YOU EQUIPPED FOR BETTER GARDENING? ★ SALES * ★ REPAIRS* ★ RENTAL ★ NOlI TORO WM/tutr SWAN'S low. Jr. ft Cost. I1M17I Sen, McCarthy Library Speaker sen. tugene McCartnys program entitled “Poetry and Politics”, set for Tuesday night, April 25 at the Rappahannock County Library in Washington promises to be a unique county experience, according to Mrs. Norman Sims, Librarian. “Never before has Rappahannock had a onetime presidential candidate, or perhaps any other formidable political personality, engage in an informal discussion with local residents on the subject of congruity of poetry and politics!”, she reports. Sen. McCarthy is a manyfaceted individual whose wit and humor flash through his conversation like summer heat lightning. He is knowledgable in a wide range of subjects, being a teacher of economics, education, politics, literature and history. For ten years he was a congressman from Minnesota in the House of Representatives. In 1958 was elected as senator from that state, serving eight years. During that time he was on the Agriculture, Finance and Foreign Relations Committees. In 1968 McCarthy challenged Lyndon Johnson for the Democratic nomination, and in 1976 he ran as an independent candidate for president. Mrs. Sims added from the Library’s viewpoint, “Sen. McCarthy has not only written some seven books on political philosophy, but he has published a fine volume of poems and written a very good children’s book of convincing animal stories. However the evening with McCarthy develops, it promises to be interesting, amusing and certainly enriching.” At present Eugene McCarthy, now a resident of Rappahannock living in the F.T. Valley, is collaborating with James J. Kilpatrick, the bard of Scrabble, on a book scheduled to come off the press this summer. The evening with McCarthy program will begin at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, April 25. Tea and coffee will be served at 7. "Come early to get a comfortable seat,” invites Mrs. Sims. "The Library will be open to welcome you.” r Receives Thanks Badge Mrs. Helen Holschuh of Castleton was one of seven persons presented the Thanks Badge at the annual meeting of the Virginia Skyline Girl Scout Council at Harrisonburg Saturday. Tlie Thanks Badge is the highest award and greatest honor that Girl Scouts bestow on adult members. The badge symbolizes devotion and dedication to Girl Scouting, above and beyond normal expectations. Mrs. Holschuh started her scouting career as a girl member in Pennsylvania. As an adult she was active in Hawaii, Washington, D.C. and in Germany before settling in Castleton. She has served as association chairman, board member, day camp director, cadette leader, senior adviser, service unit chairman, delegate to the Girl Scout National Convention, trainer, consultant, and member of the Girl Scout Selection Committee. Mrs. Holschuh also is involved in church, garden club and 4-H club work, as well as the League for Environmental Protection. Summer Intern On April 16, Washington Baptist Church will have a covered dish dinner following 11 o’clock worship service. Along with general fellowship, this will provide an opportunity for the congregation to meet Miss Cindy Harris of James Madison University, who will be a summer intern at Washington Baptist Church beginning June 9, 1978.

Or Backward The Supervisors made a better-late* than-never first move towards healing the breach with the Board of Zoning Appeals at last Thursday’s meeting. Col. E. P. Luke acted on his own in approaching Chairman Josef Gardiner before the Supervisors’ session and his initiative began a dialogue that may result in a joint meeting of the two bodies. Luke's repeated insistence that the Supervisors are obligated to pay any iegai fees incurred by the BZA in defending their denial of the ski area’s special use permit should also help to reassure the BZA members that their <;oveming body is behind them—or if not entirely supportive, then at least not squarely in the ski area camp. It was also good to hear that the Supervisors were concerned with the BZA’s refusal to allow snow skiing in Harris Hollow. By mentioning only that aspect of the special use permit denial, it can be inferred that the Board was not opposed to the denial of the myriad of other uses requested by the Rappahannock Ski Area, including the snowless Alpine slide. Work towards the end of divisiveness between the Supervisors and the Board of Zoning Appeals began last week. We hope it continues with a joint meeting. But any joint meeting would have been much more meaningful if it had been held BEFORE the Supervisors filed a petition to intervene in the ski area suit against the BZA. As Col. Luke noted, one of the primary purposes for a joint meeting should have been to find a way around filing a suit that would pit one county body against another. We don’t understand the Commonwealth Attorney’s insistence in filing first and then talking. He argued that there was nothing to talk about—even with the BZA’s attorney—until the intervention request was before the courts. Two county lawyers sitting in the front row of the courtroom grinned and shook their heads in amazement at the advice offered the Supervisors by their legal counsel. We’re still shaking ours. Isn’t the purpose of a lawyer’s conference to find a way around expensive and time consuming litigation? Common sense says there’s plenty to talk about before a suit is actually filed. It’s possible, maybe even probable, that neither side would have budged an inch if a meeting had been held before the Supervisors’ vote to file an intervention suit. However, a joint meeting before the fact would at least have indicated a willingness to work together. Our Rappahannock Heritage Burning Law Goes In Effect The weather this past fall and winter has been a record “wet” season. But, as of this writing, we are already back in hazardous fire weather. Virginia has several laws which are intended to protect the timber resources, wildlife, and rural homes and farmlands from the destruction caused by wildfire. The 4 o’clock burning law is now in effect. This law states that no open burning can be done within 300 feet of woodlands (or any material capable of spreading a fire to the woods) except between the hours of 4 p.m. and 12 midnight. The law applies to burning from March 1 through May 15, which generally is the most fireprone period due to the dead, dry fuel which has ac'••mulated over the winter. American Chestnut: 21st Century? By LYT WOOD County Forr*trr Nursery stock quarantines, massive sanitation cuttings, and many other practices all failed to stop the spread of the American Chestnut Tree Bark Disease in the early 1900’s. The blight continued its southward march, reducing the great wild chestnut stands to myriads of gray, lifeless snags poking up above the young forests that sprung up to take their place. In recent years, since the blight has swept across the entire Appalachian countryside, there have been many attempts to restore the American chestnut as a timber tree. The basic modern approaches are: hybridization, radiation, breeding surviving American chestnuts, and manipulating the fungus itself. In considering these attempts—and their likelihood of success—it is important to keep in mind the goal of this research: ‘Re-establish the American chestnut as a tree species that is able to survive and reproduce under natural forst conditions.” Hybridization As we have seen, the Asian species of chestnuts are resistant to the effects of the blight. (They are not immune to it, but neither are they harmed by it.) By crossbreeding American trees with resistant species, we hope to produce a strain of chestnut that is resistant to the blight. This has, in fact, been accomplished many times. Remember, though, that our goal is to re-establish the chestnut in the forest. In order to obtain a tree that will be a viable competitor with other trees growing nearby, our chestnut must have a straight, tall stem, and be able to overtop its competing trees before it is suppressed by them. We have, to date, been unsuccessful in our attempts to come up with a strain that has both characteristics, i.e. ‘‘blight resistance” and “straight stem.” It appears that, genetically, these traits are very closely linked in a manner that is mutually exclusive...a peculiar and unfortunate quirk of nature. Radiation Breeding Evolution is a slow process. Given adequate geologic time, the American chestnut would possibly evolve into a form that would be able to survive and compete in the woods. We can "speed up” evolution, and (hopefully) channel the process in a desired direction, by inducing genetic mutations. These mutations—changes in the organism’s genetic structure—provide the driving force for evolution. Mutations can be induced by subjecting the seeds to radiation. ‘‘Radiation breeding” has produced many desirable agricultural crops. The radiation treatment alters the genetic information within the seeds. This alteration is a haphazard process, and the chance of producing a desirable mutation is very, very small. It probably will never happen. Breeding Surviving Chestnut* Occasionally, a wild American chestnut will survive to be very large. Although these surviving trees have the blight, they have so far been able to withstand its effects. There might be a genetic basis for this natural resistance. Therefore, we might logically expect to be able to breed these known surviving trees, and establish their offspring in the forest. The trick is to obtain viable seeds or cuttings from these trees. No one has been able to perfect a method of rooting the cuttings made from old chestnut trees. Seeds produced by the surviving chestnuts aren’t usually viable, because of the lack of a pollen source from other trees. (Chestnuts are not self-pollinating.) Manipulating The Fungus Because of the tremendous difficulties involved in developing a resistant and competitive chestnut, a more logical approach to the problem is to try to suppress the fungus itself, or at least control its action the host trees. There is at least one exciting new development in this research effort. We now know that a unique strain of the chestnut blight fungus exists. This strain is much less harmful to American chestnuts than the more common pathogenic strain. It is, therefore, known as a “hypovirulent” fungus (meaning that it is "beneath” the normal degree of virulence, or ability to harm its host). The hypovirulent strain has two important characteristics: (1) It is unable to kill American chestnut trees. (2) It is able to suppress the more common “virulent” fungus. When the two fungi are grown together in culture, the "virulent” strain is converted to a “hypovirulent” strainl The result is that there are unprecedented cases of chestnut blight cankers healing over, with no apparent damage to the tree. The big question that remains is, Will the hypovirulent fungus be able to spread from tree to tree and maintain itself in the forest? Current Research Despite the difficulties and unbelievable odds against successful control of the blight, there is a great deal of work being done. The Lesesne State Forest in Nelson County, Virginia is headquarters for research in hybridization and radiation breedings carried out by the Virginia Division of Forestry. The well-known Ross tree, also in Nelson County, is a large American chestnut that provides a source for cuttings used in breeding attempts. —Vo. Div. of Forwtry Photo LARGEST KNOWN surviving American Chestnut tree is located in Nelson County, Virginia. The most promising research on hypovirulence originated in Europe (where the same blight fungus has affected the European chestnut); follow-up work is being done at the Connecticut Agriculture Research Station. The ecology of the American sweet chestnut has always fascinated me. The researchers, as 1 have said, are working against all probability. But what a wonderful service it would be to the American people if this generation lives to see a healthy young stand of American sweet chestnuts! Student Writes To the editor: I am presently finishing my second year of high school in this county and the controversies within the school system are becoming more and more obvious to me. It is a fact that all of our athletic teams are sponsored by hard working, dedicated coaches. Of this I am certain because I know most of these sponsors. These coaches work after school with their teams, come home tired, eat a late dinner, then somehow do the work that is required of every teacher. For all of this they receive less than one-third the amount paid for extracurricular duties in surrounding school systems but work as hard or harder. I feel that there should be a sufficient fund in the school budget to run an activity bus the entire school year. This would enable more students to participate in extra curricular programs. Many of the sponsors spend more out-of-pocket money in supporting their programs than they receive in supplemental pay for the added responsibility. These people deserve better. NORMA WHORTON The Little Fox State Forest Wardens and other officials do not have the authority to issue permits allowing burning which takes exception to the law. No one can give “permission” to bqrn. Some of the other important fire laws are listed below. These are in effect the year round. 1. Any time that a fire is built in the open air within 150 feet of woodlands (or any other material capable of spreading a fire), the fire must be totally extinguished before it is left unattended. 2. All reasonable care and precaution must be taken during any open burning. 3. Any time a fire escapes }nto woodlands or brushlands as a result of carelessness, negligence, or intention, the person responsible for the fire will be liable for the expenses of suppressing the fire. While these state laws may seem complicated, they are purposeful: the vast majority of forest fires are caused by man. In fairness to all, and for the protection of our resources, we must enforce the fire laws. Please direct any questions you may have to the County Forester or Chief Forest Warden before you bum. Non-pros Shorted To the editor: I have read with interest your coverage of recent School Board meetings. The current controversy is somewhat disturbing. While 1 can appreciate the teachers professional status and their disappointment in having their earned salary step increases lumped with a general cost-of-living increase for all school employees, it appears to me that the nonprofessional employees are on the "short end of the stick”. Why can’t nonprofessional (meaning jobs not requiring college) employees also have a scale of guaranteed salary raises based on length of service with the school system and satisfactory job performance? Doesn’t it matter that some of the non-professionals give many years to the system just as many teachers do? Besides, with a scale of guaranteed raises for all employees perhaps the School Board wouldn’t have to give cost-of-living raises at all. Think of the time and frustration this would save. Unless of course the School Board decided to follow the course taken by the Welfare Board in previous years - that of allowing neither a cost-ofliving nor a step increase, thereby holding all employees at the lowest allowable salary as set by the State. The School Board needs to be more concerned with hiring and keeping qualified, interested, and experienced people for all positions in the system • let the Board of Supervisors keep down the tax rate. After all, isn’t that the job of the Supervisors? R. Burke Washington To The Editor Contract Broken To the editor: If our teachers were anything like coal miners they would all be gone; they would have walked off at the first budget meeting, when the School Board broke its contract. There seems to be a misconception that teachers can live on less than other people. They eat just as much, their nutritional needs are the same as others; their transportation costs and utilities are the same, their clothing requirements are as much if not more than most and their continuing educational costs, for recertification and keeping up to date, never end. I agree with Mr. East ham that there is nothing more important in an educational system than good, dedicated teachers. Then, I think it would be a good idea for Rappahannock to strive toward this goal, and I don’t think a 47 percent turn over in personnel indicates that we are heading in that direction. With a flooded teacher market, we should be able to pick the best. Then why are we getting so many of the green first year teachers and rejects? One of my children had five teachers this year, three of whom are unable to keep any class control. Is this advantageous on a cost basis, and to hell with what the children learn? Who is checking on teachers to see if they merit a salary increase? Most ot tne good, dedicated teachers are here because they have a family or other ties in the area. The lack of discipline problems stems mainly from having had some good teachers should be rewarded rather than considered a minus on the pay scale. An effort on the part of the administration to put a square peg in a square hole rather than a square peg in a round hole might also be an incentive to teachers. The school pay scale in Rappahannock as in most counties is set up with step increases. Inflation has made cost of living increases a necessity in all walks of life. The School Board and Administrators have blatantly ignored this as far as the teachers are concerned. Whose word stands for anything these days? Who is setting good examples? Let's consider Rappahannock’s ability to pay. We can afford two cars for every family, each with a CB radio set, two televisions for every household, golf clubs, tennis outfits...maybe our priorities are all wrong...and the city folk find the low tax area a most rewarding place to settle. How much of Mr. Eastham’s salary from the banking business in beautiful Virgin Islands was p*L» in love, and how much in cold, h>’d cash, so he could come t Rappahannock and purchase his present holdings in a low tax area? Communication works two ways. Have you, the School Board, asked teachers for suggestions, inquired about their concerns and needs? How much study and consideration was given the long range plan which was recently adopted? A Concerned Parent P.S. Mr. Konick, I would not mind signing my name at all except that I am sure it would cause repercussions for my children. Something Right To the editor: As a resident of Fairfax County, 1 do not have a direct interest or opinion of the School Board vs. Teachers controversy. However, I did notice from the quotes of the high school students how well-spoken they are. For these young people to be so articulate, the teachers must be doing something right. HELEN C. GIBSON Lorton Possible ! Solution To the editor: After reading your article on the School Board versus teachers situation, my suggestion is for the landowners to sell the land they have had in their families for generations arid hire coal miners to punch clocks and students. (NAME WITHHELD) Interest Appreciated To the editor: We would like to express our appreciation to the citizens of Rappahannock County for their interest in our research project for our “Religion of the South’’ class at the University of Virginia. Our objective was to select homes, churches, and public buildings throughout the county which reflect the southern history, architecture, and culture during the colonial, antebellum and Victorian periods. We would especially like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Irvin R. Kilby, Mrs. Joyce DeBergh,'9 Mrs. J. W. Fletcher, Mrs. T. L. Eastham, Mr. George Miller, and Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Barron who willingly showed us their property and homes, as well as the Reverends Jennings W. Hobson III and Vicki Pittard for their patience in answering many questions. We are also indebted to Mrs. Diane Bruce, Mrs. Virginia Lindstrom, Mr. Jack Miller, Mr. Martin Orfila, Ms. Mary Groves, Dr. Bloomer, Mr. Douglas K. Baumgardner, and Mrs. France Tabler for their contributions in ^furthering our knowledge of Rappahannock County. It was a privilege to study in a county which possesses so great a historical heritage and is so willing to share it. Thank you. Lisa Hawks and Kim Going Charlottesville Teachers Give More To the editor: As a student of the Rappahannock County Public School System, I am very disappointed in the way the School Board is handling the teacher situation. Rappahannock County, especially in the high school, has always had problems gaining new and devoted teachers and we are very lucky to have the ones that we do have. I have seen a lot of teachers leave because of low pay and benefits and I’m afraid we ^ will lose more this year. Why are we letting our teachers slip through our fingers? The purpose for teachers is education, but at Rappahannock our teachers seem to give a little more. Do you realize that practically every teacher in the high school is a sponsor of some club or organization? This takes a lot of time and effort on the teacher’s part, but in any other schools, not half of the teachers would be involved with their students, in or out of school. I believe that we, the students, have very much respect and admiration for our teachers. I think almost any student would stand behind and back our teachers because they are more than just our teachers, they are our friends. As a student, I invite the School Board to come and sit in on some classes—listen to the students and teachers, eiamine the student and teacher relationships. We are taught much more than just history and geography. PENNY L. CHADWELL Thanks For All To the editor: I would like to express my appreciation and thanks to the citizens of Rappahannock County for their cooperation and assistance while I served as Deputy and Corrections Officer in the County. I would like to give special thanks to members of my family who made me aware of the position when it first became available; to fellow law enforcement officers in the county with whom my family has become very close; and to the other county employees who have made my job more pleasant. I would also like to thank the four magistrates with whom I have worked and oyr neighbors for their hospitality and kindness. Further, I would like to thank my supervisor, Sheriff W. A. Bunt in. for giving me the opportunity to serve as a law enforcement officer and for his guidance and encouragement to do my job well. R- H. (DICK) JENKINS ++++ Great souls endure in silence.

Hackley, I ■i secretary; H. M. F. Palmer, Jr., treasurer; Charlie Compton, Chief; Elmer Jenkins, assistant chief; Elmer Lillard, captain and Mitchell Green, lieutenant,” according to Mary Priest who gave a brief history of the establishment of the fire company at the recent annual banquet. The Ladies Auxiliary entertained the firemen and guests on March 31 with the 25th annual dinner since the inception of the fire company and subsequent rescue squad. The Auxiliary was organized in August of 1952 and the first banquet given he following year, making ihis one the silver anniversary. Other charter members tamed included Lloyd tfywaters, Bernard Weaver, leremiah Atkins, Jr. and Braxton James. Deceased harter members are Col. J. N. Caperton, Walter Slavik and A. C. Latham, Jr. The organization of the company was aided by Murphy Hoffman of Culpeper and Frank Stoutamyer of Front Royal, each active in their respective companies. The first Amissville fire engine was a Seagraves, the model of which is disputed, 1923-27. It took 39 gallons of gas to drive it from Washington, D. C. where it was purchased for $50, to Amissville. The gas tank was larger than the water tank, according to some of the firemen.

Parade prizes were $15, $10 and $5 and gross receipts from the twonight carnival totaled $5,756.66. Lumber donated by C.M.M. Green from his sawmill to make carnival stands was auctioned Qffy following the carnival and added to the fire company treasury. Henry C. Corder donated land on which to build a firehouse and a building and grounds committee was appointed: C. M. M. Green, chairman; Charlie Compton and E. G. Hackley. A twostory 32 x 60 foot building Fire- Rescue On April 6, the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire and Rescue Squads were called to an automobile accident on Rt. 522 near Flint Hill; David Calisto was tal:en from the accident to Warren Memorial Hospital by the rescue unit. Also on April 6. Robert Jackson of Berryville was taken to Winchester Memorial Hospital from an r auto accident on Rt. 211 east of Sperryville by the Sperryville Rescue Squad. On April 8, the Flint Hill Rescue Squad was on standby at the Old Dominion Hunt Point-to-Point at Ben Venue while their fire unit fought a brush fire on Rt. 647 outside Flint Hill. The Sperryville Rescue Squad carried Roger Rutherford from the home of Buddy Brown on Rt. 231 to Winchester Memorial Hospital, also on April 8. Amissville Rescue Squad took Sandy Jordan, Nola Jordan and Steve Mills, all of Woodbridge, from a wreck on Route 211 March 25 to Fauquier Hospital, Warrenton.

MFH (703) 338-4265 Lady Panthers Triumph Again The Rappahannock girls continued their winning ways last week as the varsity track team overwhelmed Strasburg, 86 to 28. Highlights of the evening meet were sweeps in the hurdles, 880 yard run, long jump and all the relay events. Varsity coach Ann Spieker noted that most the varsity girls improved their performances over the previous week’s meet. If this trend continues, the lady Panthers may wind up scaring off all their opponents! Event by event, Rappahannock’s winners in the April 5 contest against Strasburg were: Shot put—Rhonda Estes (1st). Discus—Jennette Beebe (1st), Johanna Day (4th). High jump—Jamelle Prudhum (2nd), Johanna Day (4th). Long jump—Liz Freeman (1st), Wendy Jenkins and Janice Aylor (tie for 2nd). Hurdles—Lynnell Prudhum (1st), Natalie Swindler (2nd), Johanna Day (3rd). 100 yard dash—Jamelle Prudhum (1st), Eleanor Phillips (4th). 220—Janice Aylor (2nd), Laura Tupper (3rd). 440—Jamelle Prudhum (1st), Wendy Jenkins (2nd). 800—Dawn Keithley (1st), Liz Freeman (2nd), Judy Lynn (3rd). The Varsity baseball team has gotten off to a slow start this year. Their first district game was at William Monroe, where they went down 8 to 3. Last Friday, they traveled to Rockingham Coanty where they were shut out. It seems the team is lacking strong, experienced pitchers and it is hurting us. The first home game was Tuesday, April 11, when we faced Elkton. There’s also one Friday where Luray will be the opponents. Come on out and see the guys! The Junior Varsity team has yet to go in combat against any team. Members include Lee Anderson, Harvey Gordon, Hugh Grigsby, Andrew Ellis, Mark Hudson, David Atkins, Wayne Atkins, Doug Nichols, Billy Anderson, Steve Mucciarone, Gary Jenkins, Steve Norman, Richie Burke and Matt Wilson. The team is coached by Jim Logan and their first game will be April 13. There will be only two home games this year, April 27 against Page County and May 9 against Luray. Your support would be appreciated. The National Honor Society held a meeting Friday. They discussed putting out another edition of the school paper, so that’s ff something, the students can look forward'to. 1 The girls’ Varsity and J.V. track teams have been on a winning streak. The Varsity team has won two meets at Strasburg with high scores. The J.V. team has also won two meets, one against Strasburg and one against Montevideo and Stonewall at Stonewall. The Varsity girls will compete at Strasburg, Saturday, April IS, against a number of schools. Good luckl The boys are also doing a good job and are putting out a lot of effort to be on top. The Senior class is planting trees around areas of Rappahannock. They have worked on this project for the last two Saturdays. You can expect to see a greener county this year! Bake Sale Successful The Washington Ladies Auxiliary reports a very successful day April 1 with proceeds from their food, drink and baked sales’ stands amounting to S287. According to Ruth F. Clark, president, the Ladies Auxiliary would like to express appreciation to all who donated food, time and money that day. “If you use the short torm, we do it for less.” If you qualify for the short form, we charge a very low price.

Planners Recommend Denial (Continued from Page 1) having a nice barn like that and not be able to do anything with it?” Miller asked, noting that it costs “a pile of money” to keep a barn in shape. He added that he had not been asked by the Davis’ to speak in their behalf and urged the Planners to recommend approval of the rezoning. Special Use Permit Frank Skowronski, adjoining landowner to the Davis property, prefaced his remarks by acknowledging that he supported Mrs. Davis' proposal to operate an antique business and small farmer’s market. He added that he reluctantly opposed the rezoning request, however, and described it as a blank ticket...in the hands of someone who might not be quite as gracious and community minded as the Davis’.” He urged the Planners to iccommodate Mrs. Davis’ request if they could do it without a “long term blank heck" for commercial entures allowed by right on he property with B-2 zoning. Candy Coombs maintained that granting the rezoning would set a precedent for highway strip development along Route 211 and noted hat a commercial designation would allow the three and a half acre parcel to be divided into smaller lots. "An antique shop would be nice but it should be put there with a special use permit," Mrs. Coombs said. Miriam Harris repeated statements of confidence in the Davis’ plans for the ' t property. “They may have the best of intentions...but we're talking about the future here...We’ve seen an example of what happens when blanket zoning...a blank check is given,” she said, referring to the commercial zoning alloted to the Rappahannock Ski Area's Harris Hollow property. “I think we ought to take a long and hard look before approving a rezoning from agriculture to commercial, here or anywhere else," Mrs. Harris maintained. Mrs. Donald Kent, Peter Kramer and Dr. Werner Krebser all said they supported the concept of an antique shop and market but with a special use permit from the Board of Zoning Appeals, not a commercial rezoning. Hastily Scheduled Hearing Sean Kilpatrick, final speaker against the rezoning, acknowledged that he, too, was concerned about the latitude that a commercial designation would allow but added that he was more disturbed by “the precipitous haste of this whole process...It’s been rush, rush, rush to get this lined up so the Board of Supervisors can hear it on April 6,” said Kilpatrick, referring to the specially scheduled Planning Commission public hearing on the afternoon prior to the Supervisors’ meeting. “Why the exceptional undue haste?” he asked. “Why the precipitous stampede to get the Davises marched on to the Board of Supervisors?” Planner Newbill Miller took immediate exception to f'ina/ (fj/ibuf/i CLORE FUNERAL HOME "The Home of Thoughtful Service" PHONE 825-2361 CULPEPER CEMETERY MEMORIALS WANTED SCRAP CAST IRON PRICES DETERMINED BY QUANTITIES & QUALITY Delivered to our yard in Culpeper.

The Board of Supervisors wanted to hear the rezoning at their regular April meeting, Miller maintained. He said Wednesday was the only day that the Planners could schedule their public hearing and still meet the state requirements for advertising and the local requirements that mandate a recommendation from the Planners before the Supervisors act on a rezoning. "The haste will in no wav affect our decision,” he continued, adding that Kilpatrick might be able to understand that when he had learned more. "This county has gotten awful sick and it’s gotten sick with hate,” Miller stated, with a response of “amen” from someone in the audience. “If you think you're going to sit here and accuse this Board of improper action and not going to have me jump on you, you’re crazy,” he told Kilpatrick. Applicant Had No Bearing “We didn't even look at the name” on the rezoning application, interjected Barksdale. “I wish you could get this through your head and down to the paper,” he added. Planner E. P. Luke, who is also chairman of the Supervisors. assured Kilpatrick that the Supervisors would not take action on the rezoning at Thursday’s meeting and would instead postpone a decision until another Supervisor session. George Davis, speaking in behalf of his wife’s application, maintained that none of the opponents to the rezoning, except Skowronski, would be affected by approval of the proposal. He charged that the Harrises, unsuccessful bidders on the same property, had planned to cut up the parcel into small lots for development. Miriam Harris, who had spoken previously against the rezoning, immediately objected to her husband being characterized as a developer but Davis ignored her comments. "Those opposed to this are very much interested in cutting up Rappahannock County into small lots,” he claimed. Surmise And Speculation "Most of the controversy that arises in this county (centers around) surmise, and speculation...looking for something that isn't there,” Davis continued. “They (opponents to the Davis rezoning) don’t understand what's going on.” He maintained that his wife’s proposals were not going to be “near as objectionable” as furniture maker Peter Kramer’s business “right in the middle of town...in view of the courthouse.” Davis said the rezoning request for B-2 commercial designation was "limited to what’s in the application” and would involve no new buildings. “1 pay the taxes, upkeep and insurance (on the property in question). Just to what extent do I have to satisfy the objections of these characters?” he asked, indicating the audience with a sweep of his arm. Noting that concern had been expressed over rezoning agriculture land, Davis argued that farm land could be kept open by generating an income out of existing buildings, as his wife proposed to do. "Rezoning is an option that every taxpayei has...in a free enterprisi system. I’m free to decidi what option 1 want to follow," he said, in apparent reterenci BIG at the SILK MILL SALES ROOM April 17 ■ May 13 All Spring Material Reduced Winter Stock 7?

In regard to Candy Coombs’ contention that commercial zoning would remove controls on the property (included in a letter to the editor printed in the Rappahannock News), Davis asked “what in hell gives her the right to control my land?” "None of them (the rezoning opponents) know what's in the application,” he continued. “None of them knows what’s in the ordinance...Maybe Dr. Krebser should see a psychiatrist to see what’s wrong with his intellect,” the Commonwealth Attorney suggested. Barksdale cautioned Davis against getting too personal in his remarks. All Personal “It’s all personal,” interjected Mrs. Davis, standing in the back of the courtroom. “As long as there’s a free enterprise system in this county, this application should be granted,” George Davis insisted, after noting that he’d withdrawn as legal advisor to both the Planners and the Supervisors on this issue to avoid possible conflict of interest. He added that any development possibilities mentioned by opponents to the rezoning would go on his motel property not on the three and property, not on the three and front gate and "there’s nothing they can do about it,” he remarked. Luke asked if Davis was seeking a rezoning to B-2 limited “in perpetuity.” “I’m not saying that,” Davis answered. He noted that he would always have the right to come back before the Supervisors and request another rezoning. Fannon asked how the Planners could be sure that any future owners of the property wouldn’t put a gas station on the land, a use allowed by right if the rezoning was approved. Davis argued that his wife’s application was for a “conditional” rezoning. Fannon countered that he didn’t believe the Planners had the right to decide what went on a piece of property. “It's our function to decide zoning,” he maintained, and then uses listed for that zone in the county ordinance determine what can be placed on the land. Newbill Miller agreed with Fannon, stating he, too, had problems with a limited business category asked for by Davis. "I don’t think we have that district to rezone to," Miller said. “This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard of,” interjected Mrs. Davis from the back of the courtroom. Her rezoning request met every requirement in the county ordinances, she maintained. Objections to the rezoning were from “people (who) make it a sport to come up here every time and be heard,” according to Mrs. Davis. Although “dump on George year” may have been declared, she stated, “this isn’t dump on Dorothy year.” Russia Or England George Davis announced that the county was getting too socialistic for him and charged that the “newcomers” wanted to take all of Rappahannock and put the land into public ownership. He suggested that these ‘‘newcomers’’ go to England or Russia if they wanted to live under a socialistic government. Following the Davises' remarks, Chairman Barksdale declared the public hearing closed. Mr. and Mrs. Davis left the courtroom along with the majority of the spectators. Col. Luke repeated his ) assurances that the Supervisors would not vote on the application at Thursday's public hearing and it appeared at first that I the Planners would also postpone their decision. However, after questioning whether the Supervisors \ Onion Sets Cabbage Plants Seed Potatoes Grass Seed Lawn & Garden Supplies (all types); Potted Plants 8. Hanging Baskets, Hoi House (in rear ot store) - All types ot Plants & Flowers Scott Hardware Co. 401 E. Main St. Front Royal 035-2538 could legally vote on the rezoning request without a recommendation from the Planners, Dave Fannon moved that the Davis application be denied. George Muth seconded and Barksdale called for discussion. "Agriculture is not the highest and best use for this property,” began Luke. He maintained that individuals opposed to the Davis rezoning were some of the same people who have been against all development proposals in the county—both recreational and residential—and described them as "professional ‘aginners.’ ” The land in question has had residential status since at least 1960, he noted. “Here we have a situation with property that has its highest and best use as residential or commercial,” concluded the Supervisor Chairman. Barksdale interjected that grazing—an agricultural enterprise—could be conducted on the Davis property and challenged the assertion that the land had no value in agricultural use. "We have to pay some attention to property rights,” Luke responded. Kentucky Fried Chicken? "Would you object to Kentucky Fried Chicken there?” Fannon asked Luke. “Yes, I would," the Supervisor Chairman replied. “Well, there’s nothing in this ordinance that would stop one,” once the Davis property is rezoned commercial, Fannon responded. “There’s no B-2 limited,” he added. By approving the rezoning. Miller remarked that the county could find itself in a situation similar to the problems with the ski area where the Supervisors had rezoned the property and then the Board of Zoning Appeals had tried to apply conditions on development. “I think they (Dorothy and George Davis) appealed to the wrong Board,” Miller continued. Once the three and a half acres are rezoned, there are no mechanics in the ordinance to enforce the conditions applied for iij the application, according to Miller. In a roll call vote, the Planners then voted unanimously to recommend that the Supervisors deny the rezoning request. Supervisors’ Hearing At the Supervisors’ meeting on Thursday, opponents to the rezoning repeated their testimony from the Planning Commission public hearing. The Supervisors’ session was much quieter with Commonwealth Attorney George Davis declining to speak at all in support of his wife’s application. Mrs. Davis reiterated her reasons for requesting the rezoning and added one new justification. According to Mrs. Davis, she would have the right to put up an advertising sign on the property only if the land is rezoned. With the rezoning, all that is required for Highway Department sign permission is the signature of the Zoning Administrator, attesting that the sign's location is on commercial property. She later acknowledged that she could get Highway Department permission to erect a sign for a business in an agricultural zone but added that she would then have to go before the BZA twice and, with a special use permit, would have to return to the BZA for additional permits every time a new tenant changed the type of business on the property. When asked by Luke what type of sign advertising was planned, Mary Selles answered “for starters, something that says antiques.” Hand Count After listening to proponents and opponents, Luke took three quick hand counts that indicated 15 persons for the rezoning, 24 against and 34 in favor of granting a use permit. Luke suggested to the rest of the Supervisors that the case be held open until April 20 for public comment. The Supervisors will make thendecision at their regular May meeting. Supervisor H. B. Wood commented that the Supervisors had never been officially informed of the Planners’ action. In response, Luke read a letter from Commission Chairman Herbert Barksdale informing the supervisors that the Planners recommended denial of the rezoning application. “I’d like to know the basis of the Planning Commission’s decision,” commented Mrs. Davis. “I’d like to know why they object,” added Supervisor Garence Baldwin. Luke answered that the Planners — himself included—shared a concern that rezoning to commercial would allow latitude to use the property for all the uses listed by right for a B-2 zone in the Rappahannock Zoning Ordinance. “Nobody doubts the Davis' good faith (but) the Commission saw no way that it could give B-2 zoning and apply limitations that would cover future owners. I don’t think we can grant conditions in perteptuity,” he said. Luke added that several persons who had spoken out against the rezoning had also volunteered to speak in behalf of Mrs. Davis, should she seek a special use permit to carry out her proposals for the property. Luke said he too would "come down here and go to bat” for Mrs. Davis before the BZA.

Retirement Test Changed Recent legislation has changed the social security monthly retirement test so • that it can apply to a person only one time, Bruce Hundley, Social Security Manager in Culpeper, said today. “This change in the retirement test means that we can pay a person for a month in which his earnings, or hours of work from selfemployment, are limited. For any year after this monthly test has been applied, a person will be paid only under the annual retirement test.” The 1978 annual limit is $4,000 for people 65 and over, and $3,240 for people under 65. There is no limit on earnings for persons age 72 and over. For each $2 earned over the annual limit, $1 of social security benefits will be withheld. Until 1978, Social Security always checked both the annual test and the monthly test, then paid based on whichever test allowed the larger social security benefit for the year. This new law means that— where a person has already been paid social security benefits based on the monthly test in a year before 1978, he can be paid based only on the annual test in 1978 and after. Those interested can get more information about the annual earnings test at the Culpeper Social Security Office located at 522 Culpeper Shopping Center. The telephone number is 825-3500.

Injured In Tractor Wreck Raymond Sutphin of Route 729 near Flint Hill sustained a broken leg and is in Fauquier Hospital, Warrenton as a result of a traffic accident on Route 211 Friday afternoon. According to Trooper R. A. Baines, Sutphin on a farm tractor was struck by a Dodge van driven by Charles Fields of Alexandria. The officer's investigation showed Sutphin traveling east on the highway on a 1976 Deutz tractor when the van struck the rear of the tractor and knocked it off the road into an embankment. The tractor overturned and threw Sutphin off. The van continued out of control, striking the guard rail and stopping on the eastbound shoulder. The van was totaled, and Fields suffered face lacerations and a possible chest injury, according to Baines. A two-vehicle collision occurred Saturday on Route 627 near Washington involving a 68 Pontiac driven by Robert Haskell of Martinsville and a 59 Volkswagen operated by Linda Heimstra of Washington, Va. According to Trooper Baines Linda Heimstra sustained a broken leg and lacerations and was taken to Fauquier Hospital, Warrenton. The VW was a total loss and the Haskell car had $500 estimated damage. The same day a hit and run collision occurred at Sperryville involving a 65 Ford parked at Sperryville Exxon and owned by Eugene Atkins of Sperryville. The Ford was struck by , an unidentified .motorist travelling east op. Jjtoute 211, who failed to stop at the scene, according to Trooper Baines. The Rev. B. G.

Get Your Green Thumb Here! Planned a garden yet? For those who haven’t, the Rappahannock VP1 Extension office has arranged for a special garden meeting on Saturday, April 22, with advice and tours of their plots from two local experts. C. C. Zinn and Bill Bailey, both of Amissville, will offer suggestions on how to put in a garden, soil preparation, how and when to plant, what varieties and strains grow well in this area, and how big to make a garden. Both men have green houses. Zinn sells some bedding plants while Bailey in his smaller operation, grows enough in his green house to supply his garden needs with a few plants left over to give to friends. Conventional and organic gardening methods will be discussed at the April 22 meeting. Bailey has been an organic gardener for over 12 years and uses no chemical controls or commercial fertilizer. Adhering to nature’s way, he raises enough vegetables for his family and sells the rest at the farmer's market in Warrenton. Both novice gardeners and those with a proven green thumb are urged to attend the VPI sponsored meeting. “We'd love to have experienced gardeners,” Bailey said, adding that the “old pros” could always learn from each other. Bailey and Zinn have one request for anyone interested in attending the garden meeting—please don’t bring pets. For registration or additional information on the gardening session, call the Rappahannock VPI Extension Office at 675-3619 or Bill Bailey at 937-4760.
