Bring a family picnic if you would like. The program begins at 7 p.m. A scene from the event last year shows area residents gathering on the hillside. Twister Lashes Amissville Heavy rains, winds, hail and a twister assaulted the Amisavitla area Monday afternoon resulting in damage to buildings and trees and cutting off electric service for al long as five hours in some places. The first storm occurred about 2:30 or 3 p.m. with heavy rain and winds. Shortly after 4 o'clock a severe electrical storm began followed by rain, hail and a howling twister. A portion of the roof of the Amissville Methodist Church was ripped off, tossed over the building and wrapped around a tree. A barn on the Lewie Smith property lost its roof to the twister which also devastated trees in the yard of the E. G. Hackley home, that of Capt. L. B. Stuart and many others including the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Paul where a large three fell on the roof of the screened porch crushing it. A trailer housing the office of the construction company which is building the new highway was swept from the cinderblock supports and overturned about fifteen feet away. No one was in the trailer at the time. New construction at the Amissville Baptist Church was damaged and parts of the church water-soaked, and to the west of the village a sign at Bel Air Restaurant was splintered. The small trailers used for living quarters by employees of McSp*dd«» Amusement Company which was setting up for the opening Wednesday night of Amissville’s annual carnival were shaken and one was moved slightly though no damage resulted. Amissville residents all agreed that it was a harrowing experience, and they would not like a second performance. A TRAILER USED AS AN OFFICE for the highway construction company working in the Amissville area was lifted from the cinderblock supports in the foreground, by a twister which struck Amissville Monday and was turned over on its top. The intense storm struck and in a matter of minutes, trees were felled, roofs ripped off and electric service eliminated. No personal injury resulted, however. Teacher Recruiting Attracts Only Few By daphne McCullough Rappakwiaurk Vw» Huff Writer “The recruitment scene is not as glorious as some people would like you to believe,'' commented Superintendent William Bloomer in announcing at last Tuesday’s School Board meeting that he had yet to have a single applicant for one of the positions open in the Rappahannock school system next year. The School Board approved hiring four new teachers to fill slots in high school social studies, seventh grade, speech therapy and special education. Only 4be speech therapist has experience outside of student teaching. Bloomer added that he had two more individuals—one with three years experience and one a beginning teacher—that he was prepared to recommend for employment after necessary paperwork was completed. Six additional teaching vacancies exist. For high school math, Bloomer reported that he’d interviewed two candidates who’d declined to accept a job here and an additional candidate who didn’t meet the established criteria. He said he had two applicants for the guidance counselorteacher combination at the high school; two candidates for businets teacher; one applicant for child development specialist and no applicants for a learning disabilities resource person. For the opening at fifth grade level. Bloomer said he'd interviewed an applicant who indicated she would accept a position at the Rappahannock elementary school but he later discovered she'd also agreed to accept a job in a neighboring county. Because of this inconsistency, Bloomer recommended that the not be offered a position here. Low Salaries The Cause? Elizabeth Streagle asked if the lack of response was due to the low salaries offered in the Rappahannock system. Bloomer indicated that he didn't think this was the case—at least with the vacancies ' in special education. He noted that he’d contacted siz different schools looking for candidates for LO resource teacher and had been told that none of the schools had graduates with certification in that field who were looking for jobs. In filling the vacancies, the administration tried to in* terview three or four individuals for each position, according to Bloomer. He said that a job opening in primary grades (kindergarten through third) usually drew SO to 60 applications while openings in grades four through seven were not as sought after. He noted that only two candidates for the upper elementary grades had been discarded before the applicants had been screened during interviews. The job in high school social studies also drew a larger number of (Continued on Page 2) July 4th Celebration Planned A mammouth July Fourth Celebration is planned in the Town of Washington with a craft fair and sale, food and drinks on sale, games, fun and amusements for everyone and all are invited to attend.

School Board Meeting The Rappahannock School Board will hold a special year-end meeting on Wednesday, June 28, in the elementary school library at 8 p.m. The purpose of the meeting is to allocate all remaining funds in the 19771978 school budget since money not spent by June 30, the end of the fiscal year, can not be carried over for use in the following year. In Spite Of Pleas For More Money Budget Will Stay At $2 Million By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH Rappthaaaock New* Staff Writer The Rappahannock Supervisors listened to repeated requests for more school funds and an additional Sheriffs deputy at Monday’s special budget hearing but they gave no indication that they would make any significant revisions to the proposed county budget. Missing from the session were the farmers who usually turn out in droves to protest steadily rising property taxes. In their place sat other citizens concerned with what they saw as inadequacies in the school system, an overworked and understaffed police force and unfair utility levies. “Are there stars awarded for running an unnecessarily tight budget?” asked Pearl Clarke after it became increasingly obvious that the Supervisors weren’t going to grant any funding requests made at the budget hearing. In opening remarks. Supervisor chairman E. P. Luke reported that the county’s budget for fiscal year 1978-1979 was based on a 20 cent increase in property taxes to $4.20 per $100 of assessed value and an amendment to the utility tax ordinance applying a county tax of 20 percent on the first $15 of telephone and electrical bills. Dr. R. S. LeGarde, first to speak before the Board, asked for and received approval of the Health Department’s $19,875 proposed expenditure—an increase of $3,865 over the current year. Noting that the Rappahnnock Health Department is now operated as “the most public public health facility in the state,” LeGarde attributed part of the budget increase in the Health Department’s planned move to larger quarters. New offices will be located in half the downstairs of a building owned by real estate agent Eileen Day. “We should be able to see twice as many people during the same clinic hours without additional personnel," said LeGarde, adding that the new offices would also offer more opportunity for clinical work. Col. Luke indicated that the Health Department’s budget would be funded in its entirety. Donald Bomberger, president of the Rappahannock County Education Association, followed LeGarde to the Supervisors’ table. His rgquest didn't meet with the same success. Bomberger asked the (Continued on Page 3) Masterson Reappointed To School Board At a meeting on Tuesday, the Rappahannock County School Trustee Electoral Board unanimously reappointed Walter Masterson to a four-year term on the School Board. About 100 persons attended the meeting in the elementary school auditorium with support divided between Masterson, Irvin Kenyon and Sharon Kilpatrick. Before the Trustees opened the floor to statements from the audience, chairman C. E. “Ned” Johnson invited School Board chairman Beverly Massie to address the group. Prefacing her remarks by noting that she wasn’t soliciting support for any particular candidate, Mrs. Massie asked the community to stand behind Rappahannock's school system. Acknowledging that the schools had problems, she said the relationship between the schools and the community was similar to the relationship between two people in marriage—“you need your partner in good times as well as in bad.” Mrs. Massie invited the audience to attend School Board meetings or contact members of the Board to convey thoughts and concerns. “I hope the interest shown this evening will carry over to school programs," she concluded. Just prior to recognizing speakers, Johnson asked if there were any petitions to be submitted. Jerry Jenkins presented one supporting the reappointment of Masterson with 306 signatures from people in the Stonewall Hawthorne District. Johnson quickly noted that the district has only about 450 registered voters. H. S. Barksdale was the first speaker to Masteron’s behalf. He said he’d worked closely with the incumbent school Board member for five years, serving with Masterson on the Planning Commission and the Board of Assessors. Barksdale credited Masterson with having sound judgement, honesty and integrity and said he’d been impressed by Masterson’s fairness and justice. “He’s definitely very much concerned with the welfare of the people of Rappahannock,” said Barksdale, adding that Masterson was particularly involved with the county’s school children. Dean Hahn, noting that Masterson had helped him coach the high school baseball team, reported that Masterson spent a great deal of time visiting the schools—“more than most School Board members...The kids respected him. They liked him. He got across well to the kids," Hahn reported. Newbill Miller described Masterson as “a person who knows what it takes to be successful.” Accordine to Miller, Masterson had succeeded in two very competitive fields —professional baseball and the sale of flour to wholesale bakeries. He added that Masterson had been the number two broker in volume of flour sales east of the Mississippi. “You wonder what motivates a person like that to take the harassment dealt out to public officials," Miller commented. Miller attributed Masterson's interest in public service to his desire to help kids get the same break he got growing op rfnriwg the Depression in Philadelphia. In regard to the poor reading test scores of Rappahannock students. Miller reported that Masterson had spoken of reading problems at the elementary school over a year ago. Masterson, said Miller, had demanded that attention to the reading program be stressed during interviews with candidates for the Superintendent of School’s position. “He’s a person who insists on a dollar return for a dollar investment,” Miller continued. In reply to criticism leveled against Masterson's candidacy because he doesn't have any children in the county school system, Miller noted that the educational system was public—“The public pays for it, the publicruns it,” he remarked. Masterson also doesn't believe that problems can be solved by spending more money, according to Miller.

Teacher Recruitment (Continued from Page 1) applications, he said, adding that six candidates had been invited for interviews. Positions in special education and other new programs recently mandated by the state are more difficult to fill, according to School Board Chairman Beverly Massie. Elementary teacher Sandra Potts suggested that the administration try looking out-of-state for special education teachers. She noted that the University of Virginia doesn’t even offer an undergraduate program in learning disabilities.

Falls Church, Va. 23044 • S33-3003 teachers already in the Rappahannock system to pursue certification in special education and learning disabilities, Mrs. Potts noted that she was doing so. Bloomer maintained that it was difficult to know which out-of-state colleges offered degree programs in fields like learning disabilities. Efforts to find new teachers are further hampered by the limited time the administration is able to devote to recruitment, according to the Superintendent. Record Storage In addition to the lack of applicants for vacant teaching positions, Dr. Bloomer had other bad news to relay to the Board. He announced that the Superintendent of Schools in Warren County had requested that all of Rappahannock's files and records—left from the time when Rappahannock and Warren were a combined system—be removed by July 1. "It finally caught up with us,” Mrs. Massie remarked, adding that the Rappahannock Board was "duty bound" to comply with the request. “Where are we going to put them?” asked Board member Arthlinda Quaintance. Bloomer replied that storage space was available for July and August. “I don’t know where they'll go after that.” he said. He maintained that storage in the county jail, as suggested previously, was not feasible. “It’s about time we did something positive" to construct a permanent, protected storage facility since the records have to be kept forever, Board member Paul Nichols responded. Mrs. Massie agreed that a permanent storage site may be an item for the school’s capital improvement program. In other action, the School Board members voted unanimously to include cafeteria personnel under the category of full-time employees so they would become eligible for inclusion in the school's group life insurance, retirement and pension plans. Instead of adjourning, the School Board members voted to recess Tuesday’s meeting until a special session scheduled for June 28. ++++ Before and after the nesting season, swifts swarm to roost; hundreds may form a tightly-circling funnel above the chosen chimney.

No Significant Budget Revisions Indicated Supervisors to increase the school budget by $39,000 over the $1,360,879 proposed by the School Board. Maintaining that serious deficiencies existed, Bomberger requested (1) $12,000 to adjust teacher salaries so that instructional personnel would get the 6.8 percent cost of living raise awarded other county employees while retaining the regular step increase promised teachers in their contracts (2) $5,000 to adjust the extra-duty pay scale upwards for the first time since 1972 (3) $12,000 to provide $200 per person towards fringe benefits afforded to 95 percent of all other Virginia teachers (4) $10,000 to cover the minimal requests by department heads for basic school supplies. Bomberger stated that he was making his plea to the Supervisors because “the School Board members had based their budget proposals on what they felt the Supervisors would approve. He charged that this "faulty rationale” resulted in an inadequate budget that didn’t even contain “sufficient funds for badly needed books and supplies.” Recalling that the School Board had previously held two hearings on the school budget, Luke asked Bomberger if he’d made the same requests to that Board. Bomberger answered that the proposals made to the Supervisors had been included in the original RCEA request presented to the School Board. He continued that the School Board, instead of allowing the RCEA requests, had decided instead to go with the budget presented to them by Superintendent Dr. William Bloomer. Bloomer’s figures resulted in a budget funded on the minimum per pupil cxpcuauure allowed by the state under the Standards of Quality. Bomberger maintained that the School Board believed that the maximum allowed by the Supervisors would be no more than the minimum permitted by the state. Authority Over Bottom Line Only Luke responded that the Supervisors’ only involvement with the school budget lay in approving the total appropriation. “We haven’t gotten into the details of operation...The School Board runs the schools. The only authority we have over them is on the bottom line,” said Luke. He added that the supervisors worked to strike a balance between landowners who couldn’t afford higher property taxes and the demand for county services. “$39,000 is a small amount” when compared to the entire school or county budget, Bomberger argued. He noted that the RCEA’s request could be funded without raising the tax rate above $4.20, as proposed by the Supervisors. Luke countered that $39,000 wasn’t a small amount—not when the Supervisors argued over budget allocations of less than $500. He reported that Rappahannock’s tax rate over the last five years averaged $4.05 per $100. “There are only four other counties in the state that run on ' less money that we do...We have a very efficient, tight-reined government. That’s what the majority of the people want,” he maintained. “I leave it up to you to show the School Board that they can come to you with what is needed rather than what is expected,” Bomberger replied.

KING Midland, Va. by Ron Wiley, Baptist minister from Sperryville, and Dave Moore, Methodist minister from Washington. Wiley said he’d asked the School Board chairman why a “more challenging budget” hadn’t been submitted and had been told to come and lobby before the Supervisors. Moore contended that the Rappahannock County Education Association’s requests were reasonable and should be considered. Asked for her opinion, School Board chairman Beverly Massie said from the audience that her Board preferred that the Supervisors approve the budget as submitted—a budget she described as “realistic” instead of tailored to fit what the Supervisors would authorize. In defense of a school budget funded only to the minimum level set by the state, Luke noted that the Supervisors had to "look down the road on money business in light of capital improvements that will be required.” Utility Tax William Bolt from Chester Gap and Tom Faust of Amissville criticized the proposed amendment to the utility tax ordinance, charging that it would hit hardest on people with fixed incomes who used less electricity. “I’ll have to pay as much as a man with a big bill,” said Bolt, adding that the increase to his electrical bill would total S3 per month. “Utility and property taxes are the only places we have flexibility” to raise revenue for county services, said Luke. Without the revenue from the utility tax amendment, property taxes would have to be higher, according to the Supervisor chairman. “We could make the property tax $4.46,” he noted. Luke pointed out that the proposed utility amendment would raise that tax to the limit allowed by the state. "So next year, it’s all on property tax unless the General Assembly allows other revenue sources,” he warned. The increase in utility tax, said Tom Faust, will hit people who are only using $15 worth of electricity. He asked why the tax couldn’t be applied to consumers who use $50 or $75 worth of electricity instead of to the poor. Luke explained that the Code empowered localities to tax only the basic rate and not the total amount of electricity used. If the same percentage was applied to the first $50 of a customer’s bill instead of the first $15, the tax wouldn’t generate sufficient revenue, according to accountant Walter Cox. Francis Updike, representing Northern Piedmont Electrical Cooperative serving 419 members in Rappahannock, also protested against the utility tax amendment. He reported that 80 Piedmont customers would be taxed twice because of meters in barns and other outbuildings. Updike noted that large users of electricity will pay a smaller percentage on their total bill in tax. "You'll be hitting hardest those who can afford it the least,” he told the Supervisors. He also warned that the Cooperative would have to begin charging localities for the extra administrative work entailed by the adoption of a utility tax.

Plus Hundreds off Othor Itomsl hui»— Health and Mental Retar* dation Community Services Board, informed the Supervisors that their cut of SI,000 from Chapter Ten’s requested appropriation represented a $4,000 decrease in total budget. This comes at a time, he said, when Chapter Ten is anticipating a 90 percent increase in services for Rappahannock. To make up for the loss, he suggested transferring $300 alloted to the Lunacy Commission to Chapter Ten’s budget since both involved mental health. Hobson reported that the Commissin’s function would be taken over by the state as of July 1. Luke agreed to the transfer, provided that a lunacy commission is no longer required. Sheriff’s Deputy “A lot of people feel as I do, whether this room is filled or not,” announced Pat Saltonstall in supporting Sheriff W. A. Buntin’s request for a third full-time deputy. "Realistically, I think we’re getting more than we pay for (from Sheriff Buntin and his deputies)," she said. Having public officials work 70 hours per week is both unfair and “bad personnel practice” and will result in a continual turn-over of discontented deputies, according to Mrs. Saltonstall. ‘‘I’ve watched Sheriff Buntin for eight years,” as a State Police trooper and as Rappahannock’s sheriff, she continued. “If he says he needs another deputy, that’s good enough for me—and a lot of people feel as I do.” Mrs. Saltonstall concluded that denying Buntin’s request for the third consecutive time would be “false and foolish economy” instead of a savings in local tax dollars. reari name aaaea tnat she supported Mrs. Saltonstall's statement on the need for another deputy "500 percent.” Referring to the lack of additional funds for county schools when test results show Rappahannock students have serious reading deficiencies, Mrs. Clarke asked if the Supervisors won stars for operating under a tight budget. “In a few years, at the rate we’re going, no one is going to be able to read your budget,” she warned the Board. Dave Konick, Washington attorney, questioned the point of holding a public hearing on the county budget when the Supervisors couldn’t answer inquiries on specific appropriations. He suggested that they adjourn until they could respond to queations—specifically on the school budget. He compared the situation in the schools to spending a quarter of a million dollars on a new clerk’s office while stopping short of putting on a new roof. “Without a roof, it doesn’t matter how much has been spent because it’s all wasted,” said Konick. “If what you’re spending doesn't get us anywhere,” he told the Supervisors, “then you should spend whatever necessary to reach your goal”—whether it’s a good school system or adequate police services. Luke replied that he was willing to work towards getting the law changed to allow rural counties funding for deputies on the basis one per 1,000 population. He added that he had no information on the schools other than what he'd read in the paper. Supervisor H. B. Wood interjected that the SchoolBoard members had sent the Supervisors a realistic budget based on what they felt was needed for county schools. "Nobody in the school system came to this Board and asked us what we would approve,” Luke added. Whatever problems are in the school system are for the School Board to resolve,” he claimed. Criticism Misplaced “It’s time for us to stop jumping on Mrs. Massie and the School Board,” said Newbill Miller. “The state’s not funding us in an equitable manner based on their formula (for allocating money to localities for education). It doesn’t do what it says it does,” he insisted. The formula, Miller continued, is alledgedly based 50 percent on market value of land sales, 40 percent on individual incomes and 10 percent on retail sales. These factors should all even out for Rappahannock since the county’s land values are high while incomes and retail sales are low but this is not the case, according to Miller. Based on revenue returned to localities under the state formula. Miller noted that Rappahannock is deemed better able to pay for education than Culpeper, Madison or Page counties. If the county’s chief problem in providing quality education is lack of funds, then complaints and pressure should be directed towards the General Assembly in Richmond rather than at the Rappahannock School Board, according to Miller. Moving on to the Sheriff’s request for a third deputy, Jennings Hobson noted that Col. Luke had left an impression that the State Compensation Board wouldn’t fund its two-thirds share of an additional deputy’s salary. “The responsibility’s not with the state yet because they didn't have an opportunity to answer,” said Hobson, adding that the Supervisors denied Buntin’s rquest before the State Compensation Board could respond. Buntin renewed his plea for more help, repeating that his men were over-worked and, as a result, were falling short on follow up investigations. The Com pensation Board allows one deputy per 2,000 population. According to Buntin, county population stands at approximately 5,500, qualifying Rappahnnock for two and three-fourth’s positions. With Ray Jackson working parttime, “We’re one-half deputy short of what is allowed by statute,” said Buntin. "The statue goes on to say that additional deputies will be allowed if the Supervisors can justify the request...If the Supervisors strongly supported this and wrote a letter to the Compensation Board (stating their support), we stand a chance of getting it,” he contended. If the Compensation Board funded two-thirds of the deputy’s salary, total cost would amount to more than 53,000 once mileage was counted, Buntin acknowledged. However, he added that his department had returned 54,500 surplus from what had been allocated by the Supervisors last year. He asked that the Board at least reinstate the additional deputy’s position in the budget to see how the Compensation Board woulH respond. Dave Moore questioned the morality of the Board’s decision in allowing working conditions for the sheriffs deputies to continue as thev are. He criticized the Supervisors’ reliance on “majority opinion’’ as justification for budgetary constraints. On issues where a moral question is involved, said Moore, it’s the Supervisors’ responsibility to decide, regardless of how the majority of voters feel. Supervisors Clarence Baldwin disagreed, stating that he had been elected by the majority and would continue to abide by their wishes. Community Picnic The annual Flint Hill community picnic will be held this Sunday, June 25, at the Flint Hill fire hall at 5 p.m. All are invited to attend and are asked to bring a covered dish. Lemonade will be furnished. Dave Konick pointed out that the country’s system of government was a republic, not a democracy. Under a democracy, he explained, all the voters of Rappahannock would join together at a town meeting to decide issues. In a republic with 80 to 90 percent of the people not informed enough to reach an intelligent decision, then it is the responsibility of elected officials to make decisions, according to Konick. Don Bomberger asked if the Supervisors would approve a budget that was funded at a higher level than the minimum $901 per pupil expenditure mandated by the state. Luke replied that he predicted that the Board would approve such a budget if it was submitted by the School Board following public hearings. He added that despite publicity given to problems in the schools, "a basic education is there if you want to get it.” The drop in reading performances is not totally the school’s fault, he maintained, adding that a large percentage of the responsibility lay with parents. Supervisor Wood added that he wanted to resond to the “scolding” handed out to the Board by the ministers in the audience. He said he’d heard church members say that ‘‘some of the young ones” had the wrong ideas on morality. According to Wood, these same church members would like to see their ministers working in the churches and leaving politics to the politicians. “What does that have to do with the budget?" asked someone in the audience. “Nothing." Wood answered, “but I thought while we were getting lessons 1 might as well try it in reverse.” Th Supervisors took no action on the proposed budget at Monday's meeting session. They will meet again on Monday, June 26, at 8:30 a.m. in the courthouse to approve a budget for fiscal year 1978-1979 and set a tax rate for personal property and real estate. Estate $i/een *J(. Q)t REALTOR Are Damages Tax Deductible? As a homeowner, expenses from damage or improvements may affect your income taxes. For instance: damage to your house from, say, fire or windstorm may be partially deductible as a casualty loss. After subtracting insurance compensation, deduct $100 for each accident and the remainder can be claimed as a tax deduction. Improvements, such as a porch, garage, finished basement, and so-on cannot be deducted. However, they can be added to the cost of the house when figuring profit on the sale. So, keep good records of such expenses. Try to preserve cancelled checks and receipted bills. They will help substantiate the figures if necessary. I'm just scratching the surface here. If this situation applies to you, I suggest you contact your nearest Internal Revenue Office for a copy of their pamphlet No. 530 “Tax Information on Deductions for Homeowners". It may save you some money. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M. DAY, REALTOR, Middle Street, Washington. • 'hone: 675-3400.

A solid case study of this came recently with a conference organized by PEC at which area lawyers, planners, town and county officials and citizens, met with a panel of experienced experts, many from other parts of the nation, to discuss a both timely and provacative topic—“Who Decides Our Future?” The meeting provided a stimulating forum for thought in the matter of planning use of the limited open land assets of this Piedmont countryside. Judging from the reaction of the several hundred people who attended, it was a valuable and constructive session. These counties of the Piedmont are at a critical threshold in planning together and learning together about practical methods of wise planning and developing use of their limited air, land and water resources without taxing people out. We need only to look next door at Prince William, Fairfax or Arlington counties to see how not to do it. The PEC has no authority over anything and costs the taxpayers nothing. But PEC and its professional planning staff are due warm gratitude, and indeed the major credit, for its large role in assisting and bringing fresh and positive new ideas to our own professional town, county and regional planners. Master son Renamed * To School Board (Continued from Page 1) He concluded by maintaining that those people interested in county schools couldn’t have "a better friend” than Masterson. Jennings Hobson stated he wasn't “anti anyone" but supported Irvin Kenyon's candidacy because the "leadership that he represents is the kind we need the most.” Ron Wiley also supported Kenyon, maintaining that he could “bring great character to the School Bward, His character is above reproach in every way,” said Wiley, adding that Kenyon was a long-time resident of the county who knew most Rappahannock citizens. He added that a rumor had gone around with the Masterson petition in the StonewallHawthorne District that held Kenyon wasn't eligible to serve if appointed to the School Board, and asked that this be clarified since the report was untrue. Johnson said that he'd checked and ascertained that Kenyon could serve on the Board. Trustee John S. Browning added that Kenyon was not only eligible but encouraged bv his suoeriors in the Virginia Wildlife Commission to accept appointment. Y at Heimer presented Sharon Kilpatrick's name as a third alternative to fill the vacant School Board seat from Stonewall-Hawthome District. She reported that Mrs. Kilpatrick has a Masters degree in education, had been a teacher for four years and had covered education for a year for a Washington, D. C. daily paper. “Her outstanding feature is that she’s educated in education," said Mrs. Heimer. She added that she'd talked to Masterson many, many times and had been told by him that he was only finishing out someone else's term and had no intention of accepting reappointment for lour years. She asked if his reversal was due to “his competitive nature coming out." Charlie Manson asked the Trustees to consider the candidates for the School Board on their merits —qualifications, ability and know-how—and not on their desire for the position. appears to be a contest "“of personalities and not of qualifications,” he added. Robert Heffern, an elementary principal in Culpeper and resident ot Castleton, said "as an educator and a parent, I suspect my interests would be better served by a person with children in the school system” and urged the trustees to consider Irvin Kenyon for the appointment. "I feel the one thing Rappahannock County has to offer its young people is an educaton," stated former elementary principal Mary 4 Botts Quaintance. She maintained that Irvin Kenyon would be an effective School Board member who would work towards improving the quality of education here. “He’s in a position to make for better communication between the School Board and the teachers, the School Board and the parents and the School Board and concerned citizens. When you have better communication, you have better cooperation.” Nortng' chat ' she had forked in Rappahannock schools for 48 years, Mrs. Quaintance said that she had seen ‘‘an erosion in cooperation" over the last two or three years. “This distresses me very much because unless we work together, we can’t improve the system." While Kenyon’s first priority will be improved schools, he will also be just as careful about spending tax payer’s money as anyone else, according to Mrs. Quaintance. She maintained that Kenyon, who has two children in Rappahannock schools, would be more interested in the education thatn someone without youngsters in school. Jim Prudhum spoke in favor of Masterson’s candidacy. The incumbent School Board member "knows how to organize and how to get a job done," said Prudhum. Prudhum also said that Masterson has the ability to contribute somehting beneficial to Rappahannock's future. “We’re talking in terms of our youth. That's tomorrow,” he concluded. Linda Butler seconded Mrs. Quaintance's support of Irvin Kenyon, maintaining that he was interested, kep up-to-date on school news and would improve communications between the School Board and other segments of the community. Dot Irvine spoke in behalf of Walter Masterson. She contended that having children in school should not be a criteria for judging School Board members. “Walter Masterson has as much interest in children as anyone possibly could,” she added. After listening to all the speakers, chairman Johnson reported that School Board candidates were evaluated by the Trustees on whether they were tax paying voters and had children in school. The Trustees also take education and background and support by petitions into consideration, according to Johnson. Since the School Board spends most of the county’s tax money, the Trustees, also like to get ‘"•'members with - some practical business' --experience,” he added. Johnson noted that most of the Trustees' decisions have been unanimous and expressed pride in the Electoral Board’s ability to keep its actions free from politics and in the best interests of the school children. The Trustees then took a short five minute recess and came back to unanimously reappoint Masterson to a four-year School Board term as the representative from Stonewall-Hawthorne district. THE NEW CLERK’S OFFICE which is being constructed next to the Rappahannock Courthouse begins its upward climb as sections of sidewalks go into place. Drainfields for the septic system are being dug at left. Substitute Teacher Shortage Persists Rappahannock High School is in desperate need of additional substitute teachers. The School Board learned at last Tuesday’s meeting that teachers are reporting for work despite illness because there are just no substitutes available. The problem was brought to the School Board’s attention when high school teacher Roger Flinchum asked if the policy handbook’s section on payment to substitutes could be changed. He noted that it was difficult to find someone to take a class at the high school from a substitute list that fluctuated from three to five persons. Flinchum said he'd heard complaints about the pay system here. A substitute who works at the beginning of one month has to wait until after the School Board meeting the following month to get a check. Under this method, it’s often 45 days or more before a substitute receives payment, according to ftfrichum. "That’s just one of those unfortunate things,” responded Superintendent William Bloomer, adding that there was no feasible way the policy could be changed. Accounts aren’t computed until the end of the month and the School Board must then approve payment, usually at its regular meeting on the second Tuesday. In addition. Bloomer noted that payment must be made by check, eliminating the possibility of recompense from a petty cash fund. Then, asked Rappahannock County Education Association president Don Botnberger, how is the School Board going to bring potential substitute teachers “back into the fold?” Botnberger, who is also a math teacher at the high school, told the Board that it was hard to call in sick when an individual knew another co-worker would have to take over the class. “I’ve taught girls phys ed, algebra and French,” interjected Flinchum, agreeing that regular classroom teachers frequently replaced sick co-workers. During his ten years in Rappahannock schools, Flinchum said he’s missed only one day on account of illness. “I know I’ve been sick more than that...but if I’m walking, I come in." Elementary teacher Ed Potts reported that elementary substitutes, on • many occasions, were unable to maintain discipline and ’control in the classroorh. He -asked if qualifications ' couldn’t be made stricter to ensure more qualified candidates with teaching experience.. Mrs. Massie answered that the elementary principal calls substitutes taken from a list of names approved by the administration and School Board. If an individual doesn’t perform satisfactorily, she said, then that person isn’t asked to come in again. While the elementary teachers appeared concerned BRUSH IS PILED HIGH in front of Amissville Methodist Church after a twister ripped off a portion of the roof and twisted the top from a large oak tree. The storm occurred Monday afternoon. about qualified substitutes, the high school teachers worried about substitutes, period. Flinchum reported that he knew of at least two occasions during the current year when tiigh school principal Dennis Wingfield called every name on that school’s substitute list “with no takers.” “How much are they paid,” asked Sharon Kilpatrick. Bloomer answered that the scale ranged from $19.50 to $21.50 per day. “That’s only $3 an hour,” countered Mrs. Kilpatrick. "It’s not suprising that you don’t have more interested.” Bomberger proposed that the substitute teacher pay scale be revised so that the higher pay would lure substitutes from adjoining counties. Mrs. Massie indicated that the School Board would review the substitute teacher salary scale during next year’s Ibudget process. “We appreciate your comments and we’ll see if we can’t add to the list (of substitutes) before fall,” she concluded. (Anyone interested in becoming an approved substitute for either the high school or the elementary school may obtain forms from the School Board offices in Sperryville. The pay for substitutes ranges from $19.50 to $21.50, depending on experience. Pay categories are (1) high school diploma only (with no teaching certificate and no teaching experience), (2) three year’s experience with no certificate, (3) teaching certificate with no experience and (4) certificate with three year’s experience.)

The Little Fox Letters To The Editor Continue Probe To the editor: My husband and I have appreciated the series of articles you have written concerning the proposed swap of Park land involving Rappahannock, Warren and Green counties. Though the amount of land involved is not large, the policy issues and procedures employed by the Park authorities raise serious questions. We would like to encourage you to probe this matter further and report fully your findings. In particular, an article which includes a sketch map of the land involved, a history of recent other land swaps and identification of who initiated this particular land swap would be useful to those who are concerned about this matter. JINNY BEYER Save Parklands To the editor: During these past three weeks since learning of the proposed land exchange between Shenandoah National Park and three private individuals, I have been impressed by the amount of shared concern which has been expressed by citizens who oppose the release of Park lands into private hands. It is obvious that Rappahannock residents care deeply about what happens to the Park. Many people have contributed generously in time, energy, and ideas to this initial movement to Save the Parklands. One of the results has been numerous offers to circulate petitions to get the signatures of neighbors, requesting public hearings and a 90 day extension of time. On the Community Hike last Saturday to Oventop Mountain to see the land which the Park plans to trade, I was struck again by the beauty of that ridge. Photographers among us found numerous vistas to record, particularly as our way led through laurels at the height of their bloom. It seems to me that the Park was designed to provide for many different needs, tastes, and levels of energy, and this special ridge has some unique advantages. It is close at hand for many Rappahannock residents, offering a variety of terrain from woodland to cliffs, and an opportunity to discover unusual plant and animal life. In the Park’s own words in its Environmental Assessment, "This tract, in particular the shady rock outcroppings and mature cove hardwood forest, has the greatest potential of the four tracts examined for containing species which are rare within the Park.” This ridge has been a favorite hiking spot for children in the area for years. As it is away from the main avenues of access to Shenandoah National Park, hikers to the ridge can know they do not add to the congestion on the regular roads or trails of the Park. It has been gratifying that there is so much interest and assistance from many sources, both official and private, on the issue of the proposed eichange of Park lands. Staff members of a number of Federal agencies as well as private agencies have begun examination of points involved. Senator Harry F. Byrd Jr., who, like his father, has a high interest in Shenandoah National Park, has requested clarification from the National Park Service. The help and support of Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson, in arranging for a preliminary 30 day extension of time, is much appreciated. To me his prompt response to the concern of many people in Rappahannock County is a reassuring indication that the democratic process between citizens and their elected representative is working. We have found as we explored this issue that officials and agency staff members are greatly interested in how people in Rappahannock County feel •bout the proposed exdtange. * I should like to urge all of us who are concerned about maintaining the integrity of Shenandoah National Park to let our views be known. Each of us can phone or write to our elected representatives and to the agencies which are responsible for administering and protecting the heritage of our land. I suggest we contact the following: Rep. J. Kenneth Robinson United States Congress Washington, D.C. 20510 Sen. Harry F. Byrd Jr. United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Robert Jacobsen Superintendent Shenandoah National ParK Luray, Virginia 22835 William Whalen Director National Park Service Department of the Interior Washington, D.

Conservation Planning Draws Limited Public Input By DAPHNE MeCULLOUGH RapfMhiMock Nm Staff Writer “Is your tax dollar for conservation and environmental improvement being spent wisely?” This was one of the questions asked by Bill Adams, district conservationist for the Soil Conservation Service, and Tom Eddins, county director of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, in complying with the Soil and Water Resources Conservation Act of 1977. At a meeting two weeks ago, Adams and Eddins came armed with a full page of questions to gather public participation in appraising natural resources and developing conservation programs to protect them. The 1977 Conservation Act calls for local meetings to be held before a comprehensive five-year conservation program is drawn up by the state and submitted to Congress. Concerns expressed at these meetings were to be relayed to Richmond for consideration in developing the conservation program. But the quest fur local participation drew a blank in Rappahannock. The SCS representatives found only Newbill Miller, farmer and real estate broker, and Phil Irwin, broadcasting executive and environmentalist, at the courthouse for the county’s local meeting. After explaining the 1977 Conservation Act and the mechanism involved in adopting the required fiveyear conservation plan, local ASCS director Tom Eddins began with his list of questions. He asked if the loss of acreage from fiber and food production was a problem in Rappahannock. Miller and Irwin agreed that the disappearance of agricultural and forestal land was a problem here as it is throughout the rest of the country but both questioned what SCS could do to reverse this trend. "The farmer has to make a profit or he’ll quit farming,” Irwin said. He noted that reduced production costs and reduced costs of materials through competition among suppliers would help bring a profit to the farmer. Adams interjected that advances in technology made by private industry and government research would also lower the costs of agricultural production. Irwin agreed that research brought the “biggest bang for the buck” with its $28 return for every $1 spent. Miller added that a national policy of allowing a tax credit spread over 20 to 30 years for donation of a scenic easement would aid in preserving agricultural land. (Currently, donation of a scenic easement to the Virginia Outdoors Commission gives the landowners a tax credit that must be used over a six year period. The credit recognizes the difference between the property's value for development and its value without development rights.) Adams suggested that possibly the Farmers Home Administration shouldn’t make loans for houses built on prime agricultural land. The group agreed that soil erosion wasn’t a major problem in Rappahannock. Miller maintained that most farmers did a good job in controlling siltation but added this wasn’t the case with utility construction in the county, particularly with Vepco’s work on the power line. Irwin criticized Vepco’s management practice of spraying rights-of-ways with broadleaf herbicides. “Unless there’s a good grass cover, they have extensive run-off,” he said. As an effort to lower the limited erosion on county croplands, Miller suggested that the U. S. Department of Agriculture encourage sod planting with corn. He acknowledged that this was a whole new technique that ought to be refined through more research. “It’s the cheapest way of growing corn,” he added. “Do we need more emphasis on rotational grazing to keep pastures at the right heighth?” asked Adams. Although most Rappahannock farmers maintain grass at proper levels. Miller agreed that some cattlemen could use advice in this area. He noted that expert help was available from VPI Extension Specialist Dr. Roy Blazer, described by Miller as "the best” in the field. Land disposal of organic waste may become a problem fur Rappahannock’s farmers if regulations are passed that require cattle to be fenced away from streams. “That will be the death blow for agriculture here,” Miller maintained, citing the cost of initial fencing and constant repair work. Although regulations requiring that cattle be fenced from streams hare been proposed, Adams said he didn't think any law would be passed. "But it bears keeping an eye on,” he agreed. Eddins noted that SCS can provide technical assistance in developing recreation areas such as public fish ponds and camp grounds while the Farmers Home Administration can also lend money to build golf courses and other recreational projects. “How does that relate to agriculture?” asked Irwin. Extra income from something like a public fishing pond may “be just enough to keep the farmer going,” Miller replied. In the question category on wildlife management, Eddins noted that Rappahannock’s growing deer population could present some threat to agriculture. “Generally, good farming and good wildlife habitat go hand in hand,” Adams responded. The SCS representatives and the two-man audience all agreed that the Virginia Division of Forestry’s reforestation program was slowly changing the native vegetation by replacing what was once an area of broad leaf deciduous trees with pine seedlings. However, they also acknowledged that land owners prefer planting pines because they require little attention and reach maturity faster than other trees. Adams was mildly critical of pine reforestation on good cropland. Miller defended the practice. “It’s a good use. If agriculture becomes profitable, the land can be returned to cropland.” Rural Development Threat Miller, Irwin and the SCS representatives agreed that rural development was the biggest threat to agriculture in this area but other than encouraging scenic Reach nearly everyone in Rappahannock County with your Classified Ad.
