Snead set August 31 as the date he would issue rulings on legal questions involved in the confused tangle of cases between the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals, P. E. Steve DeMent, the Board of Supervisors and Lynne and Anne Stuckey. At that time, Snead will decide whether to allow a constitutional challenge to the county Zoning Ordinance to be included with the review of the BZA’s action to first approve and then revoke a special use permit applied for by DeMent last year. Briefly, DeMent filed for a special use permit on March 1 to build a garage-storage area addition to his antiaue business in Sperryville. After an advertized public hearing at which no opposition was raised, the BZA approved the permit on April 14 for an addition to an existing building, erected 50 feet from the adjoining property line. On May 3, Zoning Administrator Evan McNear issued a building permit to DeMent that stipulated the new building was to be located only 20 feet from the property line and joined to the existing structure by a breezeway. Next, on May 4, Lynne and Anne Stuckey, adjoining Deputy Promoted R. D. Hawkins, who is a deputy with the Rappahannock Sheriff’s Department, has been promoted to the rank of Sergeant effective July 1, according to Sheriff W. A. Buntin. Hawkins has been employed with the Sheriffs Department since April 1, 1973, at which time he was the jailer. After serving in this capacity for a year, he was promoted to deputy. property owners to DeMent, petitioned the circuit court to review the BZA’s decision to grant the special use permit, alledging that ordinance restrictions against building in a flood plain had been violated. On May 12, the BZA found DeMent in violation of the 50 foot setback from the Stuckey property line and on May 17, Zoning Administrator Evan McNear advised DeMent of the violation. Construction of the building continued and on June 9, Josef Gardiner, chairman of the BZA, notified DeMent that the special use permit had been revoked. This time, it was DeMent’s turn to file a petition for review of the BZA’s decision in circuit court. Rappahannock's Supervisors requested status as parties to the case in September. Their request was granted by Judge Snead on October 10 and the suit filed by the Stuckeys was consolidated in October with the suit filed by DeMent. According to papers on file in the clerk’s office, the Supervisors are alligned with the Stuckeys against DeMent and the BZA in one case and (Continued on Page 2) Appointment Forthcoming Circuit Court Judge Rayner V.

V ' Trades Still Under Consideration In Other Counties Legality Of Park Land Swap Defended By daphne McCullough Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The proposal to trade 405 acres of Shenandoah National Park land in Rappahannock County for 442 acres of private property in Greene County has been scrapped because of citizen opposition—not because of any questions as to the legality of the trade, according to Park Superintendent Robert Jacobsen. “I feel very strongly that the lawyers will conolude there was nothing wrong with the proposal,” said Jacobsen in an interview at Park headquarters on July 5. He repeated statements included in last week's press release announcing the withdrawal of the land exchanged proposal that attributed the decision to opposition from adjoining land owners and other Park neighbors. Jacobsen noted that ob F. T. Baptist Bicentennial Homecoming Sunday The homecoming celebration of the 200th birthday of the F. T. Valley Baptist Church is scheduled for Sunday, July 16.

In the past month those opposed to the land trade between the Park and Saddleback Associates uncovered federal and state law that appeared to prohibit exchanges of Park land. However, Jacobsen insisted on Wednesday that the proposed land swap was legal. Opponents of the transaction have cited section 7.122 of the Virginia Code as amended by Chapter 211 of the 1976 Acts of the General Assembly. This section requires that property acquired by the Commonwealth for conveyance to the Park system must revert to State ownership should the property ceased to be used for Park purposes. Retroactive Law “Can a law be retroactive for 31 years?” asked Jacobsen in response to questions of legality based on the Virginia Code. He noted that land for Shenandoah National Park was given by the state to the federal government “with no strings attached”, adding that the deeds didn’t contain revisionary clauses. ‘‘The whole section of the Code (relating to Park land exchanges) was not processed until 31 years later,” he said. Although land would have left the Park system without reverting to state ownership if the exchange proposal had been finally approved, the property would have still been used for “National Park purposes,” according to Jacobsen. “Can the state come in and tell us what to do with Park land as long as it’s used for National Park purposes?” he asked. Opponents of th$ land exchange have also cited federal law as prohibiting the Rappahannock-Greene swap. They point to the 1977 amendments to the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965. In part, the amendments read that the Secretary of the Interior “may not alienate property administered as part of the national park system in order to acquire lands by exchange.” This restriction is included under the subsection “Boundary Changes: Donations” which also stipulates that the Secretary may make minor boundary revisions for ten years after the establishment of a National Park following “timely notice in writing to the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs of the House of Representatives and to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate...and by publication of a revised boundary map or other description in the Federal Register.” Federal Law Doesn't Apply In answer to assertions that amendments to the Soil and Water Conservation Fund Act prohibit exchanges of Park land for private property, Jacobsen maintained that the 1977 amendment “doesn't apply to us at all." The Burton amendment was written, he said, to authorize boundary changes in new parks for ten years and to allow minor revisions of boundaries in older park areas-both without legislative areas—both without legislative action bv Committees with jurisdiction over national parks in the House and Senate were satisfied. First, said Jacobsen, Shenandoah is not a new park and second, park boundaries would not be altered by the proposed exchange. Jacobsen argued that all land involved in the swap lay within the Park’s authorized and intended boundary so the transaction would only change the ownership of property within that boundary rather than the boundary itself. Therefore, he concluded, the Burton amendment with its restriction against exchanges of property administered as part of the national park system has no bearing on the proposed swap of Rappahannock park land. Jacobsen said he expected the Park’s solicter to rule on the issue within ten days or so from last Wednesday and expressed confidence that (Continued on Page 2) Foster Care Needs Are Critical “How to love a child and yet he able to give him up when the time comes is the key ”—Family and Child Services Worker Ellen Mustoe By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Three months ago, Orange County’s Welfare Director Alan Courtney and Welfare Board Chairman Barbara Sue O’Toole were hauled into court and ordered by Judge W. D. Reams, Jr., to either come up with additional foster homes in 90 days or face contempt of court charges. The period of grace expired recently with the defendants granted a reprieve until late August before they must show cause as to why they haven’t placed more children in foster homes. According to explanations given by the Welfare Department to the Orange Board of Supervisors, the reason why more children aren’t put into foster care is simple—there just aren't enough homes to go around. Anri arrordino to Ran pahannock Welfare Director Elizabeth Buntin, the same problem exists in this county. , “We’ve just about exhausted our resources here,” said Mrs. Buntin in a recent interview. “We have a few good people (but) most foster parents would like to have small children who don't have problems.” This willingness to take only younger children has raised obstacles that the Welfare Department must overcome in order to comply with new Federal law. Family and Child Services Worker Ellen Mustoe explained that House Bill 518, effective July 1, 1977, revised the Juvenile Justice Code to remove incorrigibles and status offenders—children who have not actually violated the law but are beyond parental control—from the court system. These incorrigibles (dubbed Children in Need of Services or CHINS) used to be brought into juvenile court under petitions filed by their parents. Since passage of HB 518, they are referred back to the Welfare Department. Welfare Can’t Handle But the Welfare Department (as in Orange County) is incapable of taking on these cases,” Mrs. Buntin maintained. By removing the possibility of court intervention, the law gives parents “more authority at a time in the history of this nation when they’ve never had less control,” she added. At the same time, “the State Department of Welfare is not exerting much leadership,” Mrs. Buntin continued. "They’ve left it up to localities to find a solution”—to find adequate foster care facilities for troubled youngsters. In counties like Rappahannock, n lit i V uiti t a iiv vtn concern, no group zeroing in on the problem, the Welfare Department is vulnerable,” she maintained. For years. Welfare workers here have had difficulties coming up with foster homes. With an influx of CHINS, the demand can rapidly outpace the supply. Many of the children referred to the Welfare Department under the Juvenile Code revisions are adolescents in trouble—they may have a history of running away, of drug or alcohol use, of sexual promiscuity or may be beyond parental control for a combination of factors. Even foster parents who’ve taken in other children in the past balk at accepting this kind of responsibility. Most of the referrals of CHINS to Rappahannock’s Welfare Department come through the schools. "The courts are reluctant to refer cases to us because they know we don't have the staff,” remarked Miss Mustoe. "People who find us, find us on their own or they’re referred by the schools.” The Welfare Department has 17 approved foster homes, eleven of which are in Rappahannock County. Nine are currently being used. The limited number of slots available makes placement difficult. Sometimes, Miss Mustoe noted, foster parents aren’t compatible with a particular child or can’t cope with the child’s special problem. “In the past, we’ve had kids that went from one foster home to another to another to another. We weren’t unique," she added. “We’ve had a better track record than a lot of agencies.” The very character of foster care makes it hard to locate good homes, Miss Mustoe continued. “We’re asking for a commitment from foster parents and in return, we give them a program that doesn't offer any permanence," she said, adding that natural parents can reclaim their children at any time. Intangible Qualities The qualities that make good foster parents are intangible. "We look for a feeling more than anything concrete. They need to be warm and caring and able to express love,” said Mrs. Buntin. “We used to say that pilots had to fly by the seat of their pants. Well, it’s that kind of thing with finding foster homes.” There are no income requirements. Parents must be healthy and the house clean but with an “emphasis on homemaking rather than housekeeping.” A foster family needs only to have money sufficient to cover its needs since foster parents can't support themselves and their natural children with what they're paid for foster care support. “They don’t have to be rich. They just have to care," said Miss Mustoe. Rates paid by Virginia are relatively low for a purpose. “The state is very reluctant to raise its rates because they don’t want people lured to foster care as a way of making money." Mrs. Buntin explained. In addition to a monthly support check, foster children receive Medicaid (Continued on Page 4) SQUARE BALES, ROUND BALES—Hay comes in different shapes and sizes.

BZA Ruling August 31 (Continued from Page 1) with DeMent against the BZA in the second. In the first, the Supervisors challenge the BZA's authority to issue a special use permit for construction in Sperryville when the county’s Zoning Ordinance prohibits building in a flood plain. Cited as justification are court rulings that hold “a Board of Zoning Appeals has no power to legislate nor to repeal or amend the provisions of a zoning ordinance or statute." In the second case, the Supervisors question the jurisdiction of the BZA in revoking the same permit and ask that the action be declared null and void since the Zoning Administrator is the rightful authority to enforce requirements of a special use permit. Flood Plain Ordinance In answer to questioning from Judge Snead as to whether all the parties in the cases had submitted what they felt was complete evidence, Waugh Grigler, representing P. E. Steve DeMent, answered that it would depend on whether the court would rule on the “threshhold constitutionality” of the county’s flood plain ordinance. The Supervisors, represented by Commonwealth Attorney George Davis, have maintained that <\appabamtnck 'Xruu?

He indicated that he ( wanted to introduce i testimony from a zoning | expert “on the part of Rosser . Payne” should Snead decide ( to rule on the con- | stitutionality of the flood , plain ordinance. I In addition to the flood plain ordinance restrictions, i Crigler has attacked other areas of the county’s Zoning i Ordinance. "Arbitrary and capricious, unreasonable, i unconstitutional” are all used < to describe Article 1-1 that sets forth zoning districts; Article 1-2 that requires adherence to all specifications included in the Zoning Ordinance; Article 5 that sets requirements for residential-business districts, including Sperryville; Article 6 that states the requirement for rezoning to residential subdivision before approval of any subdivision of more than five lots, any one of which contains less than 25acres and Article 10-2 that calls for right-of-way not less than 50 feet wide. More Evidence? While Crigler didn't dispute any of the facts included in a memorandum filed by BZA attorney Robert Fitzgerald, he said he wanted to file additonal evidence for his client explaining “why certain things were or weren’t done.” Maurice Biddle, attorney for the Stuckeys, indicated that he was not in a position to say whether he wanted to file additional evidence until the Judge had ruled on questions already submitted. Commonwealth Attorney George Davis repeated the Supervisors assertion that the BZA had acted contrary to section 9.7 of the Zoning Ordinance which absolutely promoted ouuaing in a nooa plain. "The only question I can see is whether Sperryville is in a flood plain,” said Davis. Since county zoning maps, part of the Zoning Ordinance, show Sperryville as lying within flood plain boundaries, Davis dismissed the need for more evidence on this point. Noting that DeMent had alledged that the BZA acted with malice and bad faith, Fitzgerald told Snead that he’d want to present more evidence if this charge was pursued. "Do you wish to pursue this?” Snead asked Crigler. “Yes sir," the attorney answered. Legal Questions Fitzgerald announced that the BZA would acknowledge that Sperryville was in a flood plain. With this out of the way, he said, seven questions—“all a matter of law, of reading the zoning ordinance”—remain to be answered that require no additional evidence. The questions, plus an additional inquiry as listed in a memorandum filed by Fitzgerald, are: 1. Did the BZA have authority to grant DeMent a special use permit? 2. Did the BZA show an abuse of discretion in granting the permit? 3. Did the BZA have Summer j Clearance SALE At The ' i 4 BIG WEEKS!

The only question out of he eight listed that couldn’t >e answered as a matter of aw is whether the BZA tbused its discretion in (1) ’ranting the special use >ermit and (2) subsequently evoking the same, according o Fitzgerald. In apparent agreement vith Fitzgerald’s assertion, udge Snead stated that he nay not have to rule on the ’threshhold legal issue” of he flood plain ordinance if he seven questions are answered first. He asked the Jther attorneys if they were satisfied with the record as it stood in order for him to decide the legal questions cited by Fitzgerald. Crigler answered that he was willing to have questions 1, 3, 5, 6 and 7 decided with no further evidence. Snead told the lawyers that they had time to file additional memoranda in answer to that filed by Fitzgerald and set August 31 for a ruling. In the Fitzgerald’s memorandum, he asserted that the Supervisors delegated authority to the BZA to issue special use permits, according to the Rappahannock Zoning Ordinance. The injunction against building in a flood plain, he maintained, applied to the issuance of building permits, not special use permits. The BZA did not abuse discretion in granting the permit as the applicant had shown valid and substantial justification for extending his existing building, Fitzgerald argued. He noted that the Rappahannock Zoning Ordinance (section 16-2-3) expressly gives the BZA the power of revocation on its own motion upon failure of compliance with the special use permit. Adequate cause for revocation existed, Fitz* gerald continued, because there was no mention in the application of the separate, detached building actually constructed by DeMent and because the building’s setback was 20 feet instead of the required SO feet from the Stuckey’s property line. The BZA did not grant DeMent a building permit, according to Fitzgerald’s memorandum. Instead, it was granted by the Zoning Administrator, an agent employee of the Board of Supervisors, he claimed. Fitzgerald argued that the constitutionality of the zoning ordinance shound’t be considered in the writ of certiorari proceedings currently before the court. He noted that the Code of Virginia states a court may "reverse or affirm, wholly or partly, or may modify the decision brought up for Swap Legality (Continued from Page 1) :gal opinion would support is position. If what op(onents to the Park swap naintain is true, the Superintendent added, then he entire land exchange irogram of the National Park ervice would be jeopardized. Jacobsen reported that iwyers for the Park Service dll confer with Phillip turton, chairman of the louse Subcommittee on lational Parks and Insular kffairs, to determine the ntent of the 1977 amendnent to the Land and Water 'onservation Fund Act. acobsen, pointing to irevious testimony he’d given he Committee before 1975 egarding Park plans for land xchanges, maintained that ntent couldn’t have been to dock exchanges, such as the ransaction between ihenandoah National Park ind Saddleback Associates. Other Exchanges Still Considered While plans to trade Park land in Rappahannock have been abandoned, proposals to exchange elsewhere are still under consideration. Minor swaps are continuing between the Virginia Department of Highways and the Park Service to resolve jurisdictional problems and “tidy up messy corners,” Jacobsen said. Two other proposed exchanges are “currently on hold,” he reported. Negotiations with property owners in Madison County for an exchange of 20 acres in Berry Hollow for Park property have progressed only as far as initial contact. Negotiations between the Park Service and Virginia Game Commission over a trade of 3,000 acres from the Park Service for 3,810 from the Game Commission have stalled because of the Game Commission’s reluctance to come up 700 acres short on the transaction. According to Jacobsen, discussion between the Park Service and the Game Commission over the exchange had been going on for ten years before a proposal was formulated that Park officials felt was agreeable to both sides. “Then the Game Commission decided they weren’t interested,” basing the decision on the shortfall of 710 acres, Jacobsen said. He added that he hoped the Game Commission’s rejection of the trade was not final and that it would instead mean delay for only a few months. Jacobsen explained that the exchange with the Game Commission was considered "equal value” by Park personnel because of increased timber values on Park land. The land held by the Game Commission had been cut, he noted, while Park land had not. Asked if timber values had been considered in assessing Saddleback’s property in Greene County for the purposes of land exchange with the Park, Jacobsen indicated it had been but added that he “only looked at the bottom line” of the assessment report. Evaluations of the tracts involved in the proposed exchange had been made by a team of professional Park Service appraisers from Philadelphia, according to the Superintendent. Five Exchanges Approved In the first exchange of Shenandoah National Park land authoritized by a specific act of Congress on September 13, 1960, the Park accepted 37.44 acres along Route 211 for 38.58 acres in Kemp Hollow behind Park headquarters. Both parcels lay in Page County. According to Jacobsen, the Park acquired the property to protect land along the highway between the headquarters building and the Park from commercial strip development. Since adoption of the 1965 Land and Water Conservation Fund Act, Jacobsen noted that trades have been accomplished without passage of specific legislation. Section 5(b) of 82 stat. 354 in the Act states “the Secretary of the Interior is authorized to accept title to any non-Federal property or interest therein within a unit of the National Park System...and in exchange therefore he may convey to the grantor of such property or interest any Federallyowned property or interest therein under his jurisdiction which he determines is suitable for exchange or other disposal and which is located in the same State as the non-Federal property to be acquired...Upon request of a State or a political subdivision thereof, or of a party in interest, prior to such exchange the Secretary or his designee shall hold a public hearing in the area where the lands to be exchanged are located.” Under the 1965 Act, Jacobsen reported that four trades have been finalized. In December, 1970, Park officials approved a threeway exchange in the southern section of the Park near Charlottesville. Jacobsen MONZA 2-dr.

Main St, Phone 828-2161, Culpeper, Va. recalled that a developer had approached Park authorities with a request for right-ofway through the Park in order to develop property above the Charlottesville watershed. Park personnel, concerned over the impact of development on the city’s water supply, contacted Charlottesville government representatives and proposed that the city purchase the property from the developer and then trade it to the Park for a tract donated by Charlottesville to Shenandoah Park in the 1920’s. In the transaction, the Park received 274 acres and the city of Charlottesville 187 acres. In 1969, an exchange of 344 acres in two tracts of privately-owned land for 344 acres of Park property in Madison County was completed. Jacobsen reported that two islands of Park land outside the main Park boundary—“a management nightmare”—were swapped to Judge David Berry for a chunk of land "within spitting distance" of the Skyline Drive. B. K. Haynes, a developer with offices in Front Royal and Madison County, was involved in another Park land trade in Rockingham County. Park officials exchanged 19 acres—some of it along a “jeep track” access road that Haynes needed to improve in order to develop other property he owned—for five parcels totalling 29.15 acres. According to Jacobsen, the land obtained by the Park resolved access problems and reduced maintainence budget by changing boundaries so that the Dry Run Falls fire road lay within the Park instead of running off and onto private property. A final three-way transaction traded several tracts of Park land for a "key tract in the middle of the (Continued on Page 4) review” in an appeal of BZA action. The law, he said, doesn’t allow for review of the ordinance on which the decision was based as part of writ of certiorari petition. He added that there were other legal avenues open for this type of constitutional challenge. Fitzgerald further alledged that the Supervisors weren’t an aggrieved party and so should not be allowed to intervene in the case. If the Supervisors don’t want the BZA to have the authority to cither grant special use permits in a residentialbusiness district or to revoke special use permits, then they should amend the ordinance to disallow both actions, according to Fitzgerald. Also, he maintained, if the Supervisors object to the issuance of the building permit to DeMent, then they can void the permit since it was granted by their agent. There is nothing for the Board of Supervisors to be aggrieved of that is not within its sole power to change, Fitzgerald insisted. The BZA has not shown any evidence of bad faith, he stated. If no special use permit was required for DeMent's expanded operationsi then the antique dealer had been aggrieved by the Zoning Administrator who forwarded the application to the BZA, Fitzgerald concluded in the memorandum. 1 “Our Specialty” GARAGES Total price includes auto and walk in doors.

Farm Tour Scheduled July 15 A wide variety of wellmanaged farms will be on display Saturday, July 15, at the second annual Virginia Farm Management Tour, this year highlighting Culpeper farms. The public is invited to tour Rapidan River Farm, Van Wingerden of Culpeper, Inc., Ashland Farms, Culpeper Agricultural Enterprises, Inc., Zeuswyn Farm, Bel Pre Farm and Quail Haven Farm. At each of the sites on the tour, stop directors will give a presentation on the unique management aspects of that farm, said W. A. Spillman Jr., tour chairman. The tours will be conducted continuously from 9:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. Rapidan River Farm is one of the finest Morgan Horse breeding farms in the nation. There are about 125 horses and over 30 buildings on the 1,000-acre farm. The farm routinely produces national champions and cooperates with all phases of the horse industry to conduct educational, research, developmental and youth programs. Van Wingerden of Culpeper, Inc. is a yearround commercial greenhouse operation with four and a half acres under plastic domes. It supplies vegetable and bedding plants, hanging baskets and foliage plants to retailers. Ashland Farms is a Grade A dairy farm, with 147 Holstein cattle. The herd average production is 16,960 pounds of milk and 610 pounds of fat. The farm also produces corn, alfalfa, and small grains on the 818 acres of land owned and the additional 684 acres rented. Culpeper Agricultural Enterprises, Inc. is a 100 percent community-owned marketing facility. It has a 2,000-head penning capacity located on 87 acres of land. It is the site of the Culpeper^ Feeder Calf and Madisonfy Yearling Association sales and is used by most of the purebred beef organizations for special shows and sales. Zeuswyn Farm is a 1,000 acre purebred Angus operation consisting of 650 head of registered Angus cattle. Each year production sales are held on the farm where cows with calves, heifers, and bulls are offered for sale. Bel Pre Farm is a Grade A dairy operation. The herd of 130 milk cows average 16,000 pounds of milk and 580 pounds of fat. The farm involves 650 acres of land with 250 acres of corn; 35-40 acres of timothy and 50 acres in small grain. Quail Haven, a commercial beef cow-calf operation, has a herd of 525 brood cows. The herd is grazed on fescue pasture all year with very little grain fed. Annually about 420 head of yearlings are fed corn silage and sold to feed lots in Pennsylvania and Iowa. This is the second annual farm management tour in Virginia. Sponsored by the Virginia Tech Extension Division in cooperation with Culpeper County agricultural leaders, it is designed to help farmers do a better job. It aids in exchanging information with successful farm-based business people along with education about farm management for all who attend. Culpeper is one of the state’s leading livestock counties with 73 percent of its farm income received from livestock and livestock products. Dairying is the leading source of farm income in the county currently accounting for 34 percent of the total. Beef cattle production has been growing for several years.

THURSDAY, JULY 13,1978 Supply And Demand Why don't the law9 of supply and demand hold true for RaDDahannock County? If there are more teachers looking for jobs than there are positions available, why aren’t out-of-work teachers applying here? At Tuesday’s meeting of the Rappahannock School Board, the Board members voted to accept the resignation of yet another instructor while Superintendent William Bloomer announced that the system still has eight vacancies—three at the elementary school, four at the high school and one at the central office. According to the School Board Chairman, prospects for filling the openings don’t look very good. Back in April, when the School Board members were considering requests from the Education Associaton for salary increases, fringe benefits and a higher extra-duty pay scale, they were reminded by several cost conscious tax payers that teachers were a dime a dozen, a glut on the market. This may be true elsewhere but in Rappahannock, the law of supply and demand has been suspended. Why? It’s not unexpected that the county should have difficulties finding a learning disabilities teacher or a child development specialist. These are new fields—widened as a result of recent mandates for special education from the state and Federal government. Most Virginia colleges and universities, like institutions of higher learning elsewhere in the country, don’t even offer degrees in these areas. But Rappahannock schools also have vacancies in mathematics, science, kindergarten, guidance and reading, despite extensive recruitment efforts by Dr. Bloomer, both in Virginia and outof-state. The Superintendent and School Board members have interviewed candidates and approved likely looking prospects only to have contracts returned—unsigned. With a shortage of housing and lack of social activities, Rappahannock is at a disadvantage from the start in attracting teachers. It’s logical for job hunters to seek employment in Fauquier, Culpeper, or Warren Counties if they have to live there—especially when all of those counties offer higher salaries and extracurricular duty pay plus fringe benefits. Surrounding counties also provide the same beautiful rural countryside and lack of serious-school discipline problems that Rappahannock has. Rappahannock finances her schools from a small tax base. With little industry or commerce, there’s no alternative method of raising money except through taxes on the land. If school costs escalate dramatically, many county farms would be taxed out of existence, turned into five-acre lot subdivisions that produce more children and call for greater expenditures for education, even higher taxes and so on in a spiral that will destroy the character that makes Rappahannock unique. On the other hand, teachers leave our school system in droves every year and replacements are getting increasingly hard to find. The high turnover rate affects the quality of education and is logically one of the factors in the failure of the elementary school’s reading program. Next year, when budget time rolls around, the School Board should think about the problems it’s had in filling school vacancies instead of leaning on that old law of supply and demand. Out of 121 school divisions in the state, only 15 failed to offer teachers some type of fringe benefit during 1977-78. School Boards in 107 divisions paid part or all of hospitalization premiums, 76 paid part or all of state group life insurance costs and others provided benefits ranging from income protection insurance to cancer insurance to local retirement plans. Of the divisions that gave no fringe benefits, starting salaries ranged from $10,094 to $8,250. Only four jurisdictions—Carroll, Charlotte, Halifax and Scott Counties—had starting salaries lower than Rappahannock s. Among counties that pay a flat fee for extra-curricular duties rather than a percentage of regular salary, only seven had a pay scale lower than Rappahannock’s. On the basis of minimum salary, Rappahannock ranked 109 out of 121 divisions in 1977-78. Providing some fringe benefits, raising the extra-curricular pay scale and boosting salaries slightly won’t cause the school budget to skyrocket. These actions won't solve all of Rappahannock’s recruitment problems either but they couldn’t help but improve the outlook for attracting new teachers. Good Neighbors Good neighbors are increasingly hard to find. With the fast pace of life these days, people barely have time for themselves and their families, much less for others. But the town of Washington and the people of Rappahannock are fortunate. ()ne of the best neighbors around lives at Avon Hall on the old Route 211 in town. For eighteen years, William Carrigan has treated the county to a celebration on the fourth of July. Over the years he has organized games, dancing, drum and bugle concerts and patriotic programs that remind his Rappahannock audience of what the day is all about. The fireworks display that he puts on rivals those of surrounding urban areas. Last year, in addition to hosting his Independence Day party for the county, Mr. Carrigan generously offered unlimited water from his pond so gardens in our drought-stricken community wouldn’t be lost. His good neighbor policy deserves the appreciation of all county citizens. Thank you, Mr. Carrigan. Swap Legality (Continued from Page 2) Fredericksburg Battlefield," said Jacobsen. Ralph England received a parcel near Park headquarters in Page County, a parcel of steep, hilly land” on one side of Big Tom Peak in Madison and part lopped off >>f Mathews Arm that extended outside Park boundaries in Warren Countv. Exchange Only Alternative According to Superintendent Jacobsen, the Park’s only feasible methods of obtaining new property are through either donation or equal value exchange. Apparently, the Park plans to rely heavily on exchanges to adjust and expand boundaries. Jacobsen noted that Park officials had "purposely omitted’ Wilderness Area designation on land considered to have trade potential. In these instances. Wilderness designation does not extend to the Park’s 194,000 acre boundary, according to the Superin tendent. Several stretches of Wilderness Area in Rappahannock do not reach all the way to the boundary line, indicating that the Park Service may trade these properties at some future date for privately-owned land. “Shenandoah National Park is an unusual park in that it’s only 60 per cent completed,” Jacobsen said. The Park Service has obtained to date 194,000 acres: 133,000 acres remain in holding outside the congressionally authorized and intended boundary, according to the Superintendent. He indicated that the General Management Plan now being formulated for Shenandoah National Park is likely to propose other acquisition methods as a means of correcting the difference between the actual Park boundary and the authorized and intended boundary adopted by Congress. EMS Council Given Grant The RappahannockRapidan Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Council has received notice that special federal funds will be granted for the development of a plan for a total medical emergencj system in Planning Districl Nine during the coming fiscal year. A total of $19,606 has beer slated for emergency medical services planning ir Culpeper, Fauquier Madison, Orange, and Rappahannock counties. These funds are part of i total grant of S303.0S0 made to the Virginia Federation ol EMS Councils by HEW foi districts 9, 10, and 16. The RappahannockRapidan EMS Council was incorporated in April 1978 tc promote improved service through planning, cooperation and teamwork. Rescue squads, hospitals, medical, and nursing societies as well as citizens make up the council. i Obenshain Supports Tax Cut Senate candidate Richard Obenshain told a meeting of the Mount Vernon Rotary Cub Friday that slashing federal income taxes by an average of 33 per cent over a three*year period would mean a "billion dollar boost” to Virignia’s economy. It would “raise the standard of living for all taxpayers—whatever their income bracket,” he said. "After years of continuous inflation, this kind of strong action is needed to restore the standard of living that is i now slipping from our I grasp.” | ++++ The secret of happiness and prosperity in this world as in the world to come, lies in thinking of the welfare of others first, and not taking | one’s self too seriously. ^ —J. Kindleberger Our Rappahannock Heritage Foster Care (Continued from Page 1) and are eligible under Title 20 Federal programs for various other assistances, according to Miss Mustoe. Once a year, the court reviews each foster care case, including the required Foster Care Services Plan drawn up for every child. The Welfare Department must also review the individual plans every six months. Top priority in the Services Plan is to return the foster child to his or her natural parents, according to Mrs. Buntin. Second priority is to place for adoption, third to keep in permanent foster care and fourth to keep in continued foster care. If the foster home where the child’s been cared for is “the best place for the child to be, the best place to grow up in,” then, said Mrs. Buntin, the Welfare Department can subsidize adoption for those families that can’t support an extra mouth without foster care payment. "We’re striving for permanence with these children,” added Miss Mustoe. She reported that the shortest time kids stay in foster care here is approximately one year. "We had one graduate from Lord Fairfax who's been in foster care since he was eight years old,” she said. Emergency Homes The most critical need in Rappahannock's foster care program is for emergency homes. “We don’t need them very often but when we do, we’re really thrown up a tree,” commented Mrs. Buntin. If a drunken driver has children in the car, when he’s arrested, then the kids have to go somewhere and they certainly can’t spend the night in jail with dad. On occasions like this and in instances of child abuse, Mrs. Buntin has kept children in her home overnight. "I’ve found neighbors (who would agree to take children in an emergency) but they’re taking a great risk,” added Miss Mustoe. "We would be much better off to have a private or group home that would take these kids for 24 or 48 hours.” For emergency and long term care, Mrs. Buntin maintained that group homes are much better suited to teenagers, particularly kids that come under the Welfare Department through the Juvenile Justice Code revisions. With a group home—one that served and was supported by several counties—there would be adequate funds to ensure that the house parents received training to teach them how to cope with disturbed adolescents, according to the Welfare Superintendent. Children in Need of Services are referred to the Welfare Department by the court’s probation officer under the Division of Youth Services. According to Mrs. Buntin, the State Welfare Department insists that the Division of Youth Services has money to fund group homes but the Department lacks the means to force Youth Services to put funds into a project of this type. It appears logical that a group home could be organized to serve the five counties in the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Nine. However, Mrs. Buntin noted that the counties in the District come under different judges, making it harder to come up with a joint solution. PD Will Help With Planning Martha Jones, the Criminal Justice Planner for PD9, agreed that there is a possibility of establishing a family-oriented group home with funding from the Department of Corrections to serve several of PD9’s counties. She acknowledged that placing status offenders and incorrigibles in private homes, as done throughout PD9, presented problems with finding adequate foster care—either ’ emergency or long term. Miss Jones noted that placement of Children in Need of Services had to be voluntary with the child in agreement. “They cannot be held in jail or by the police,” she said, adding that a judge also lacked authority over status offenders. “It’s the responsibility of the Welfare Department or the Probation Office to find a place for the child to stay,” Miss Jones said. “They’re obligated by law (that) says they must provide services for these children.” If counties or Welfare Departments in PD9 requested assistance from the District Commission, Miss Jones said she could help with planning a group home and could do the leg work in arranging funding. She indicated that the Department of Corrections Division of Youth Services, with a Community Residential Care Specialist at regional offices in Falls Church, should be the first option explored. She added that it might also be possible to secure a grant through the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration. Miss Jones also reported that the chances look good for the Planning District Commission to receive a Youth Services Planning Grant. Under the grant, the Commission would “have the opportunity to get someone in here to help localities look at youth problems,” she concluded. The critical need for adequate foster care facilities in Rappahannock, Orange and the other PD9 counties should be high on the list. (Next week: Visit one of Rappahannock’s most effective foster homes). Letter To The Editor We Feel Good To the editor: We feel good. Not just because Park land in Rappahannock County djd not pass into private hands. We feel good mostly because we realize that the exchange of Park lands was prevented largely through a strong and committed community effort in Rappahannock County. Without Daphne McCullough, of the Rappahannock News, we believe our case would have been lost before we knew we had one. We also had some effective and timely help from outside' the County. We’d like particularly to express our appreciation to Representative J. Kenneth Robinson and his staff assistant, John Magill, for arranging an extension of time for public input and for their continuing interest and help toward clarifying the legal situation. Destry Jarvis, of the National Parks and Conservation Association, pointed out to us that the proposed land swap violated Federal law as written in 1977. Cleve Pinnix and Lee McElvain, of the staff of the House Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, explained to us the intent of the Robinson Co-Sponsor A bill that would enable Uncle Sam to keep closer tabs on U.S. farmlands coming into the possession of foreign interests is being cosponsored in the House of Representatives by Seventh District Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson. Signing on as a sponsor of the legislation last week, Robinson pointed out that "no one really knows how much agricultural land is passing into alien hands. According to the Government Accounting Office, there is no reliable data on the amount of U.S. farmland owned by nonresident aliens.” Robinson noted that the Government Accounting Office had recommended the establishment of a national reporting system to gather such information. Hence, the measure he and others have introduced would require that all foreign interests in American farmland be reported to the Secretary of Agriculture, including the holdings, purchases and sales of such lands by domestic corporations substantially controlled from abroad. Non-compliance could result in penalties up to 25 percent of the fair market value of the unreported land. The bill Robinson backs would also authorize regular reports to assess the effects of such foreign acquisitions on family farms, rural communities and food production. Federal law to stop such land exchanges as this one, and Representative Philip Burton, Chairman of the Committee, wrote the letter to the Park Service which halted the exchange until the legal situation could be clarified. State Representative George Beard is continuing to help make the Virginia reversion law effective. We do not believe that we can relax until the intent of the Federal law is accepted by the Park Service, namely that “the Secretary of the Interior may not alienate property administered as part of the national park system in order to acquire lands by exchange.” Land exchanges, unknown to the general public, have become a way of life with the National Park Service. In 1970 the Park Service traded access to the scenic George Washington Memorial Parkway, near National Airport, for 29 acres owned by Charles Fairchild, a developer. This exchange has now led to a suit by a nonprofit group attempting to block a $150 million high-rise development which would greatly change the nature of the Parkway. This deal was apparently concluded in private, with no public hearings and with no significant environmental review. Another proposed swap which is arousing increasing protest involves Acadia National Park, in Maine. Superintendent Jacobsen says that five exchanges involving Shenandoah National Park have already been completed, and two more are contemplated. Mr. Jacobsen considers withdrawal of the exchange of Park land in Rappahannock County “counterproductive to our efforts to acquire a very valuable tract of privately owned land on Saddleback Mountain in Greene County.” We view his intention to continue with exchanges, rather than with alternative ways of acquiring land, a continuing breach of his sacred trust to guard Park lands for future generations. We believe that it is time that the federal bureaucracies were made aware of a general public repugnance to the use of the separation of federal powers to arrogate to themselves changing the intent of the laws written by the United States Congress, in order to further their own narrow interests. We hope that the citizens of Rappahannock County will not completely lose interest in the subject of Park land exchanges now that the problem no longer appears to pose an immediate threat to the County. We suggest letters to Congressmen Robinson and Burton supporting their efforts to have the law clarified and accepted, and to William Whalen, Director of the National Park Service, reminding him of his responsibility to protect lands now administered by the National Park Service for future generations. Representative Beard deserves our support at the State level in protecting the right of the Commonwealth to reversion of title. A. STANLEY THOMPSON BARBARA S. THOMPSON —Rappahannock Nwa Photo/D.

COUNTRY JOURNAL By NANCY SECRIST Extennion Agrnt Don’t throw away the seeds from your fruit after making jelly. Mrs. Fannie Broyl of Washington, D.C. and also of Rappahannock shared the following method for making a fruit drink. “After making jelly from raspberries, blackberries, dewberries, etc. don’t throw away the seeds or wash the vessel out in which the juice has been made. Empty seeds and foam which was skimmed off into the jelly pot with the jelly that is still sticking to the pot. Add some water and simmer for a few minutes. Strain. Juice results. Refrigerate. To serve, add one-third to one-half glass of orange juice to this homemade juice." Try these cookies with your homemade ice cream this summer. Charleston Benne Wafers Mrs. Harald Havstad Sperryville one cup sifted flour 2 eggs beaten three-fourth c. butter or margarine one-half teaspoon salt two cups brown sugar one teaspoon vanilla one-half teaspoon baking powder three-fourth c. benne seed, toasted (toast in skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly) Sift together flour, baking power and salt. Cream butter (or margarine) until soft, add brown sugar, gradually add beaten egg until well blended. Add vanilla and benne seeds. Drop by teaspoons onto greased cookie sheet. Allow 2 inches between cookies (they spread). Bake in slow oven (325 degrees) 8-10 minutes or until light brown. Allow to cool a minute before removing quickly and gently with a spatula. This makes a thin very crisp cookie. HORSE RACING? YOU BETH Sun., July 16 • 2:00 P.M.

Pullen, who departed this life four years ago, July 12, 1974: It was early one morning when God reached out his hands And took you home to stay. Of times our thoughts go wandering To a grave not far away Where lies the sweetest memory that will never fade away. A happy home we once en joyed dui ucom lias icti a luncimna The world can never fill. We cannot bring the old days back When we were all together, But sweet tears and loving thoughts Will keep us near forever. We have only a memory to cherish our whole life through, But the sweetness will live forever as we treasure the memory of you. There is always comfort knowing we will meet again some day when all grief and pain are over and the clouds have rolled away. To see your face, to watch your smile, To sit with you and talk a while. To be together the same old ivay Would be our greatest wish today. Do not ask us if we miss him. there's such a vacant place. Dften we think we hear footsteps and see his smiling face. Days of sadness still come Dver us, Tears in silence often flow. Memory keeps him ever near US Though he left us four years ago. Loved in life, Sadly loved and missed in death by his wife, children and grandchildren. 21 + pd FISH: A Christian service organization. Need help?
