Sheriff W. A. Buntin repeatedly has asked for another deputy, but the county supervisors consistently have declined to provide the necessary funding. Now the deputy’s salary may be financed through the Virginia Alchohol Safety Program (ASAP) instead of with money from local taxes and from the State Compensation Board. At last Thursday’s meeting of the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors, chairman E. P. Luke read a letter from Planning District 9's VASAP director. Dean Irvine. In the letter, Irvine volunteered to work with the county Sheriffs Department in applying for a Selective Enforcement Grant that would fund a deputy, vehicle, vehicle maintenance and mileage for one year. According to Irvine, *the alcohol-related death rati on Rappahannock's highways was 75 percent in 1976 and 100 percent in 1977 (this means that out of 28 alcohol related traffic crashes in 1977 one person was killed in a crash involving alcohol.) The national average for the same peru>d was approximately 50 percent. According to Irvine, the Selective Enforcement Grant will improve Rappahannock’s statistics by strengthening the county's police department and enabling deputies to spend more time patrolling. “This results in more arrests for all traffic offenses with special attention given to drunk drivers, thereby reducing the loses on our highways," Irvine maintained. (Continued on Page 8) Defense Dropped In Goode Case At the Rappahannock Supervisors' meeting on Thursday, chairman E. P. Luke announced that the board, "as it stands now, will make no effort to have anyone appear for the county as an expert witness” to defend the denial of C. L. Goode’s Flint Hill subdivision. Goode had applied for a rezoning from agriculture to residential subdivision on 77 acres proposed for division into 14 five-acre lots. Following the recommendation of the county Planning Commission, the Supervisors turned down the request by majority vote after a public hearing in Aug. 1977. At the hearing, attorney Claude Compton indicated that his client would bring suit against the county if the rezoning was denied. Goode initially Tiled his request for a declaratory judgement under the Rappahannock zoning ordinance. Commonwealth Attorney George Davis planned to defend the county’s denial until Goode switched his position and filed under the subdivision ordinance. This move, Davis advised a joint executive session of the Planning Commission and Supervisors, destroyed any chance that the 3 Hurt In Rt. 211 Crash Three persons were injured in a three vehicle collision Sunday on Route 211 in front of the Teepee west of Sperryville. Waldon Harmon of Mt. Solon, Richard McGrath of Alexandria and Denise Cameron of Florida were all taken to Culpeper Memorial Hospital by Sperryville and Washington rescue squads. According to Trooper R. A. Bines, Harmon, operating a Dodge sedan, struck a 69 Chevrolet van operated by McGrath, head-on. The van struck a 78 Ford pickup parked in front of the Teepee < restaurant, which was owned by James F. Leake of Leon. Miss Cameron was a passenger in the McGrath vehicle. The officer said that the van and sedan were totaled and several hundred dollars in damage was done to the pickup. Harmon was charged with driving while intoxicated. He is an habitual offender, said Baines. r, county had to successfully defend its action. Experts Consulted Since Davis relayed his opinion to the Supervisors and Planners, other planning experts—from Fauquier's Rosser Payne to Robert Plavnick. planning engineer who worked on comprehensive plans in Orange and Clarke counties—have agreed with Rappahannock's Commonwealth Attorney. “We haven't found anyone in opposition to what George (Davis) and Rosser Payne have been saying." announced Luke last Thursday. He explained that the zoning ordinance, as a legislative document, allows subdivisions. The subdivision ordinance, he continued, simply sets the standards for the development allowed by the zoning ordinance. According to Luke, case law holds that “if a man complies with the ordinance, there are no grounds for disapproval." Comprehensive Plan Luke’s report met with no discussion from the other Supervisors and he immediately moved on to a second announcement—this one regarding the comprehensive plan that Rap(Continued on Page 4 RKiJF!

Alpine Slide Gets Building Permit Punch of Law Revisions Considered By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH Rappahannock New* Huff Writrr In a move apparently decided upon in an earlier executive session, the Rappahannock Supervisors voted at Thursday’s Board meeting to issue a building permit to the Ski Corporation for construction of a snowless Alpine slide. At the same time, the Supervisors sent ‘‘clarifying amendments to the Rappahannock Zoning Ordinance,” proposed by Commonwealth Attorney George Davis and the Ski Corporation, along to the Planning Commission for action. The amendments would change the designation of the county’s current conservation district to “conservationrecreation district” and would allow “outdoor recreation, including, but not limited to skiing, swimming pools, tennis courts and gravity slides” as uses allowed by right under the new designation. The amendments would allow those same uses by right in a business district. Special Uae Permits In his list of proposals, Davis also included changes in the ordinance section pertaining to the issuance of special use permits. The revisions stipulate that the Board of Zoning Appeals must hold an on-site inspection and hearing prior to granting a permit application. School Seeks Primary Reading Lab Rappahannock elementary school will have a reading lab program that extends down to first grade if federal representatives approve the concept. At Tuesday’s School Board meeting, the Board members authorized Superintendent William Bloomer to continue negotiations with Alpha Smith, regional director for federally funded Title I programs, on purchasing a mobile unit to house a new primary reading lab. In reporting to the School Board, Dr. Bloomer recalled that he's been directed last spring to put extra emphasis on the elementary reading program, particularly at the primary level with grades one through three. Subsequently, he said, he requested an extension of the reading lab into the primary grades and was told this would be approved if the school provided the space. Bloomer added that federal regulations prohibited the use of Title I money to buy a mobile classroom unit at that time. However, guidelines have now changed. According to Bloomer, a new interpretation allows federal Title I funds to be used to lease a mobile unit. Equipment for the facility can also be purchased with Title funds, he said. School Board member Walter Masterson asked how many children would be served by the new lab program. Elementary principal Graham Spencer reported that approximately 60 students were taught in the lab for fourth through seventh graders. “It will be something in that neighborhood (for the primary lab)," he said, adding that there would be more class groups with fewer pupils in each. Masterson noted that this special program would only 9HFT FANN°N AND Steve Dennis take a five-minute break {ram preparations for th# polTmrtdh to'bwirfh soLth^^TT* H'®t0rical Society scheduled for Sunday, August 13, at Fannon Field in Castleton.

Blinmier interjected that federal guidelines have to be met before a child can be included in a Title program. He reminded Masterson that adoption of the primary Title 1 reading program would help the regular classroom teacher by decreasing class size. Board chairman Beverly Massie added that the administration hoped to be able to include students performing a half year below grade level in the new reading lab so remedial work could begin before the student dropped too far behind. However, Bloomer said, if (Continued on Page l) Robinson Aide Visits Rep. J. Kenneth Robinson is sending an assistant. Jim Hobgood to the Rappahannock County area on Wed., Aug. 16. He will be at the Courthouse in Washington from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. Robinson recommends that if any area citizens have a problem of a federal nature with which they need assistance, or if they wish to relay their opinions on national legislative issues, or simply discuss matters of concern, that they pay a visit to this location and talk with this representative. Little Change There will be little change in the current weather trend as cloudy} Warm and humid days are expected Through Saturday. There is a chance of thundershowers each day for the rest of the week. Highs should range from the mid 80s to low 90s with lows in the upper 60s to low 70s. ) Before the BZA can approve or deny a permit, the revisions state that the BZA shall consider, find and report on— —Land capability. —Soil suitability. —Topography of the land according to its proposed use. —Impact on the environment, including but not limited to historic values, scenic vistas, water sheds and wildlife. —Health and safety of persons residing or working on neighboring properties. —Effect on taxable land values in Rappahannock. Davis also proposed that the provisions of Article 3—Conservation-Recreation District—shall apply in any other district to lands in excess of 14 percent slope located therein. In a mimeographed sheet attached to the ordinance amendments, Davis maintained that Supervisors' favorable consideration of the proposals would clarify the Board’s “original purpose and intent and bring a quick end to the troublesome and expensive litigation now pending." There was little discussion of either the building permit or the ordinance amend ments on Thursday. Supervisor H. B. Wood, who cast the single vote in opposition to granting the permit, voiced the only opposition. Executive Session The day before, the Board went into a two-hour executive session with (Continued on Page 4) Only Temporarily Ski Area Drops Ordinance Attack Attorney Douglas Baumgardner, representing the Rappahannock Ski Corporation, has requested Judge Carlton Penn to delay his ruling on the validity of sections of the Rappahannock zoning ordinance until after the Supervisors act on ordinance amendments proposed by Commonwealth Attorney George Davis. In a letter addressed to Penn dated Aug. 8, Baumgardner noted that Penn gave the Ski Corporation 21 days from July 24 in which to submit memorandum of authorities in support of the ski corporation's allegation that the zoning ordinance standards for the Board of Zoning Appeals to issue special use permits are “conclusory, indefinite and therefore, null and void.” Baumgardner also noted that Penn allowed the Ski Corporation to amend its pleadings to allege that the zoning ordinance is confiscatory as applied to the ski area property. Since the July 24 pre-trial conference in Leesburg. Baumgardner reported, the attorney for the Rap pahan nock supervisors proposed several "clarifying amendments" to the zoning ordinance for adoption. "It is likely that, if these amendments are adopted, the issues joined will be moot," Baumgardner maintained in his letter. As a result of these recent developments. Baumgardner proposed that the court “hold in abeyance its ruling regarding the validity ot sections of the zoning ordinance being challenged" until after the Supervisors hold a public hearing and act on the amendments. Baumgardner also stated that his proposal was endorsed bv George Davis, acting as attorney for the Rap pahannock Board ot Supervisors. Trash Problems: Will They Go On Forever? The Rappahannock Supervisors may decide to go with a three-times-a-week trash pick-up for a month’s trial at Hunt ly and Amissville. The Supervisors discussed increasing pick-up frequency at Thursday's Board meeting but postponed action until at least their September meeting. The trash issue came up as Supervisor chairman Pete Luke read a letter from Mrs. Lorraine Early on behalf of Early’s Carpet in Amissville. In the letter, Mrs. Early reported that highway construction was moving closer to the trash collectors and urged the Board to find another site so this "desperately needed service" could continue. Mrs. Early noted that trash service used to be available in Amissville for $5 per month until closing of the county dump forced discontinuance. Early’s Carpet doesn’t use the county’s dumpsters for trash disposal because of the problems this would create with people scavanging for carpet scraps, according to Mrs. Early. Instead, she wrote, she and her husband pay $816 for trash removal under a private contract with Community Trash, the company that holds Ihe contract with the county. "What do they want?" Commonwealth Attorney George Davis asked alter Luke finished the Fails letter. "To put trash into the dumpsters." the Supervisor chairman answered. "They can do that now." stated Supervisor H. B Wovtd. “Xhere's nothing to stop them," agreed Davis. "If we have to put in more (dumpsters to handle the extra trash load), then we'll put in more," added Wood. “Or empty 0thent more often.” Davis interjected. Dumpster Sites According to Wood, the county's biggest trash problem is where to put dumpsters. ‘‘Around Washington and Sperryville, nobody wants them," he said. Luke agreed. "We're getting down to the point where there’s no private land,” he said, adding that the county may soon be forced to locate the big, green refuse containers on publicproperty. He reported that a third pick-up would cost the county around $800 pet (Continued on Page 3) f

S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the American Sheep Producers Council, Inc., (ASPC). The agreement provides for USDA to withhold part of any wool incentive payments that might be made to producers on 1978-81 marketings to finance ASPC's activities. Deductions would be used by ASPC to finance advertising and sales promotion programs for w»>ol at>d lamb, and programs to develop and disseminate information on product quality, production management, and marketing improvement for wool and sheep. The new agreement is similar to one approved in 1974, except that it would authorize larger deductions front producer incentive payments. By approving it. producers would authorize deductions of up to 2'/; cents per pound on shorn wool and l2‘/i cents per hundred-weight on unshorn lambs marketed. Deduction rates front 1966 through 1977 were l‘/i cents and 7Vi cents respectively. Copies of the proposed agreement are available at the Rappahannock County ASCS Office.

Putting in a 1 foundation for the trailer must go out on bids, Bloomer said, with Title money up to $2,000 available for the project. Masterson stated that he ‘ wanted to know how the reading curriculum would be changed before voting on a , new building. j The curriculum is determined by federal ‘ guidelines, said Bloomer. Masterson asked if the same curriculum, the same teachers and the same kids are involved, what was going to change the lack of progress shown by Rappahannock students last year in reading. He emphasized again that only half the students who need extra help will be enrolled in the Title I reading lab. Bloomer repeated his contention that the students not in the labs would benefit indirectly because regular class size would be smaller through lab participation. "Is there some document I can look at to get some sense out of what a Title I program is?" asked Joan St. Clair. She said she wanted to know what was expected from Title I. what a child would accomplish with this extra instruction. "So far, my child has accomplished nothing in two years," she maintained. Mrs. St. Clair said she'd asked questions of school personnel and in return, heard "only platitudes (hat things are going to be better." Mrs. Massie replied that a School Board meeting was not the ideal time to answer Mrs. St. Clair’s questions and suggested that she meet personally with Dr. Bloomer for a better understanding of the Title I program. With no more discussion the School Board voted unanimously to authorize Bloomer to continue negotiations with Title 1 director Alpha Smith on instituting a federally funded reading lab for grades one to three.

Property Tax Study Planned Inc Virginia Revenue Resources and Economic Commission, in accord with a request from the Governor, is conducting a study of the real property tax. While real property tax is the mainstay of local taxation, it is also the most unpopular of all taxes, according to Commission Chairman Joe Leafe of Norfolk. In an effort to ‘‘accumulate all available input,” the Commission has scheduled four public hearings. The two closest to Rappahannock are set for 7 p.m. Sept. 6 at James Madison University in Harrisonburg and for 7 p.m. Sept. 7 at Thomas Jefferson Junior High School in Arlington. Chairman Leafe expects to hear testimony regarding exemptions such as those given to farmers, the elderly and handicapped persons. The Commission hopes that i he hearings will indicate public opinion concerning what exemptions should be maintained, expanded or eliminated, and if expanded, how they should be financed. Lowering of real property taxes to one per cent of market value (Proposition 13 in California) is expected to be a popular topic, A similar move in Virginia in 1976 would have affected 22 localities, which contain 45.2 per cent of the population of the state. Its effects would be heavily concentrated in the cities of Alexandria, Hampton, Newport News, Norfolk and Prince William. The commission staff has compiled data on the real property tax from 1950 through 1976 for eastu locality, allowing a Comprehensive look at a specific locality over time as well as the state as a whole. The information indicates that from 1964 to 1976, the burden of the real property tax relative to income increased in only 39 localities, Downtown, Culpeper school supplies SUBJECT BOOKS 691 Flexible 5-hole spiral bound cover.

You’ve nursed, tended and coddled that avocado seed, only to have it remain a seed—a sputnik-like creature perched upon a halfevaporated glass of water on the kitchen shelf. • Don’t give up hope. There’s an alternate route to plantdom if you’ve had no success with the toothpick and glass of water routine. If your first attempt with an avocado seed has not produced a sprout within six to eight weeks, chances are it’s not going to. So, begin again with a new seed. Wash the seed in tepid water to remove all the pulp. Then, shave a small amount of the seed off from the top and the bottom end of the seed and plant it in a small tray or bowl of vermiculite or wood shavings. Water this every two days. In this medium, the seed should sprout in two to four weeks. Since the roots aren’t visible under the sprouting material, poke around in the tray once a week and pull out the seed briefly to check on the progress of the baby plant. Once the seed has established a hearty root, pot it directly, -root end down, into a four to six inch red clay pot filled with soil that is suitable for indoor houseplants. Once potted, the pourous soil should be watered two to three times a week for maximum growth. When the stem reaches a height of six to seven inches, if it’s not bushy enough, cut it back midway between top and bottom. That’s an almost surefire guarantee that the plant will branch out and not produce just one straight spindly stalk. ++ + + Man must cease attributing his problems to his environment, and learn again to exercise his will—his personal responsibility in the realm of faith and morals. —Albert Schweitzer Trash Problems Persist (Continued from Page 1) month but didn’t elaborate on whether this was for all or only some of the dumpster sites. “We’re paying over SI,000 a month now to clean up trash off the ground,” he noted. Supervisor Dick Latham questioned whether paying $800 for an extra pick-up would eliminate the problem—and charges—for trash tossed on the ground. “We can’t control that,” remarked Wood, adding that he didn't mind paying for an extra pick-up if one was needed. -He said that in Scrabble, for instance, there were usually empty dumpsters left the night before pick-up, with the mess on the ground. Luke also read a letter from the Chester Gap Ruritans stating that community’s wish to relocate dumpsters to the southeast entrance on Rt. 610. He added that the Ruritans had told him that trash at Chester Gap was currently being removed only once a week instead of the two times called for in the county’s contract with Community Trash. The Supervisors concurred that Chester Gap residents could move their dumpsters anywhere they could find a suitable spot. Luke agreed to inform the Earlys that they could use the Amissville dumpsters and also to check on the additional cost for trash pick-up on a third day at Amissville and Huntly. In a final comment. Supervisor Butch Eastham suggested that the county clean up a little around the Huntly dumpster sight, spread additional gravel there and repaint the dumpsters. "It looks so bad now...I think if we kept it clean, they (trash dumpers) might keep it clean too,” he concluded.

The average buyer is no slouch. He’ll shop a particular neighborhood and home-type. He’ll rarely buy the first one he visits. It's too big an investment to be nonchalant. He will then compare prices against comparative value. He’ll quickly throw out any obviously overpriced homes. If the buyer really likes one of these overpriced homes, he may make a counter offer at a lower price - closer to its true value. But history shows that he’ll probably make his offer for one already realistically valued. A local Realtor can save the home seller much chagrin in the area of comparative pricing. He knows what similar homes are selling for and which homes are not selling due to overpricing. He can help you select the proper selling price - one that will bring the best profit in the shortest time. It makes sense to work with documented facts instead of guesswork. Who knows - you may be planning to sell your home for less than it's worth. Why not drop in and find out. We have the facts!

THURSDAY, AUGUST 10,1978 4^ Anyone But Warner? The tragic death last week of Republican senatorial candidate Richard Obenshain shocked the Commonwealth. Whether or not you agreed with his conservative philosophy, Obenshain was a man to admire. He spent his life building the state Republican Party, pulling it from the depths of obscurity and shaping it into a viable political force that eventually captured a majority of the state's congressional seats, a seat in the U.S. Senate and the Governor’s Mansion for three consecutive terms. At the time of his death last week, many felt that Obenshain was on his way to a seat in the U.S. Senate. We will never know. What was obvious is that he had built and staffed a powerful party machine that was running smoothly and effectively. Obenshain’s death has left the conservative branch of the state party leaderless. These people who had worked closely with the young party organizer over the years are understandably bitter about their loss. Unfortunately, their bitterness appears to be getting in the way of their political senses. Last week, soon after news of Obenshain’s death had spread, political observers around the state pointed to former Secretary of the Navy John Warner of Atoka in Fauquier County as the obvious person to continue the Republican campaign for the Senate seat. Warner had given Obenshain a good, healthy fight for the party nomination at the June convention. He came in second, narrowly losing on the sixth convention ballot Many said last week that after Obenshain, Warner is the people's choice. But there now seem to be powers at work within the state party to deny Warner the nomination for a second time. Hardline conservative Republicans seem to have assumed an air of “Anyone But Warner.” They have even gone as far as approaching former Qov. Mills Godwin and are now talking about asking former U.S. Attorney General Elliot Richardson to curry the party banner. It seems that for some, Warner’s conservative credentials are not enough. We would think that the question Republicans should be asking themselves is: Who is the most likely Republican candidate to win in November? The obvious answer to this is Warner. While we are not saying that he will defeat Democratic candidate Andrew Miller, we do feel that he could run a strong, effective' campaign. Warner has name recognition across the Commonwealth, he has the ability to put together a first-rate campaign organization and he has the money to stage a serious race. And Warner has proven himself in the Republican Party. He was one of the finrt to congratulate Obenshain after the convention was over. He donated $500 to the campaign and offered his support to the ticket Instead of running for cover to lick his battle woonds, Warner led |. the troops in rallying around the patty’s nominee. His actions were tailing party members that he-was in the party to stay. While we are not yet ready to endorse a candidate for election next fall, #e do feel that the Republicans should get behind John Warner. It is the political and the sensible thing to do. Richard Obenshain built a viableparty, but for a party to have real influence, it must win elections. Locust Leafmiuer Actively Chewing By LYT WOOD Covnty Forr—gr Again in summer 1978, we have an unusually high population of locust leafminers. This is the insect that causes the apparent browning of leaves and diseased look of black locust trees. The locust leafminer causes most of its damage when it is in its larval or "grub" stage. Leafminer larvae feed on the foliage of black locusts. Complete defoliation for several successive years will occasionally cause the death of the host trees. I have recently noticed adult leafminers—beautiful tiny orange-and-black beetles—feeding on northern red oak leaves. When the insects are numerous, leaves will be “skeletonized.” the effect being similar to the “mines'' in locust leaves created by the larvae. The ecology and the life histories of all insects are intricate and complex, and much is unknown. Undoubtedly, entomologists can still look forward to the pleasure of discovering many “missing links" in the life of the locust leafminer and its relationships with other animals and plants. We do have enough information to know that the locust trees will not be ex terminated. This will not happen, even on a local level, and the reason is simple: The locust leafminer is a native insect species, which has been a part of our forept ecology for centuries. It is extremely, prolific (most insects are!), but it will never become So numerous or so virulent that it' will destroy the principle food supply of its species. , The “chestnut blight,” by contrast, is an alieh disease (a fungus, not an inseet) which has not developed a stable relationship with the American chestnut tree. Such a relationship would have to evolve over a period of many thousands of years. (Hopefully, human intervention will hasten the process in this case.) A study of the causes and ebologfcal functions of leafminer population eruptions, such as the one we ate now experiencing, would be fascinating. Meanwhijp, until the “musing links’’ are more thoroughly understood, we can remain confident tltet the leafminer’* damage U mainly aesthetic. September For Seniors In Williamsburg The “welcome mat” will be out for seniors in September as Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown, Virginia’s Historic Triangle, extend a special welcome to seniors and retirees. Special concerts, parades, tours, shows, dance contests, kite flying contests and other events are scheduled throughout the month in Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, Yorktown, Busch Gardens, famous 17th and 18th Century plantations And museums and other out* standing attractions. In addition, the attractions, many lodging facilities, restaurants, retail stores and banks will be extending discounts or other special considerations for seniors 55 years or older (with proof of age). A special brochure listing the events for the month and thope businesses which are offering “senior specials” during the month may be obtained by writing to the Williamsburg Area Chamber of . Commerce, P. O. Drawer HQ, Williamsburg, Virginia 23185. Our Rappahannock Heritage Minerals Studied The Division of Mineral Resources, of the Department of Conservation and Economic Development, has published a special collection of articles authored by Division staff, entitled "Contributions to Virginia Geology-III.” Articles describing the history and uses of the Commonwealth’s mineral production; availability and content of topographic maps; sand and gravel resources and uses; and the composition and history of Piedmont geology are included, as well as results of research on the geophysios * data indicating subsurface | mineralization in Rappahannock County, and stream sediment mineralogy in central Piedmont. It can be obtained for $4,68 from the Virginia I Division of Mineral .i Resources, Box 3667, ^ Charlottesville, Va. 22903. Permit Issued For Alpine Slide (Continued from Page 1) Commonwealth Attorney Davis to discuss "pending litigation.” After the closed meeting, Supervisor chairman Pete Luke met with Davis in the Commonwealth Attorney's office and sent Davis’ secretary out to announce that the Supervisors would have no comment until Thursday’s Board meeting or possibly until the litigation involving the Ski Corporation, Supervisors and Board of Zoning Appeals was resolved. Chain Of Events In early December, 1977, the twice-bankrupt ski area filed for a special use permit to have a snowless Alpine slide and other support activities in Harris Hollow. Corporation president James Moore stated that the management felt summer recreation would bring in enough off-season revenue to turn the skiing venture into a money-making business. .' The , Board of Zoning Appeals held widely attended public hearings on Dec. 22 and Jan. 12 before voting unanimously on Feb. 9 to deny the permit in its entirety—including both the Alpine slide and the resumption of skiing in the Hollow, The Ski Corporation then filed a writ of certiorari, asking the judge to review the BZA decision. Included in the writ was an attack on the constitutionality of Rappahannock's ordinances. Represented by Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis, the Supervisors requested status as interveners in the suit, contending that the BZA had acted beyond the scope of its authority in even considering the application. The right of the Rappahannock Board to intervene was granted by Judge Rayner V. Snead and suh• sequently affirmed by Judge Carlton Penn at a recent pretrial conference in Leesburg. In his remarks before the Supervisors on Thursday, Ski Corporation attorney Doug Baumgardner noted that j Judge Penn had ruled that the Ski Corporation could j challenge the validity of Rappahannock’s zoning ordinance in the certiorari proceedings before the court. In addition, according to Baumgardner, Penn held r that the Ski Corporation was not allowed by right the - Alpine slide and other activities included in its special ^use permit, i Davis Disagrees 7 “I don’t agree with that: f J don't think that was the "ruling,” interjected Davis - ■} '“who has argued repeatedly' .‘that Ski Corporation president James Mooriecould ido all he proposed without any special use permit. | Baumgardner . responded ’that Penn had ruled the Board of Zoning Appeals had the jurisdiction to grant nr deny the permit. i “That was before he read the ordinance,” claimed Davis. Goode Case Fight May End Soon , (Continued from Page 1) pahannpck must adopt by 1980. ' Luke told the Supervisors that the Planners 4t*d met with planning engineer Robert Plavnick the previous week and discussed hiring him as a consultant. Plavnick has worked in the planning field for 23 years, both for government agencies ^nd in the private sector. He was. the first planning director for the city of Rockville and directed federal projects for the National Capital Planning Commission. For the past 12 years, he has been in practice on his own and with his Washington, D. C. based Arm. Plavnick is associated with the University of Virginia planning department and teaches at American University. He is also chairman of the Washington Chapter of American Student Planners. <! .Plavnick has experience with the problems rural areas encounter with growth. For Prince Georges, Maryland, f Plavnick analyzed costs and i revenues related to ) development. He also worked ; on comprehensive plans in r Orange and Clarke Counties i' and is currently involved in ; revisions of Fauquier I County’s zoning and sub! division ordinances.) | Luke reported to the rest i of the Supervisors at 5 Thursday’s Board meeting 4 that the Planning Com* mission anticipated meeting ; with Planning District Nine £ executive director John f Capelle to see how much of j the total effort for Rap* pahannock’s plan could be f done by PD9 staff. In adf dition, said Luke, the county * needs to determine how ’ much of the planning worit can be completed by local ? people. “Then there's a possibility : we can hire Plavnick’s firm J for the rest of it," he con( eluded. i . The Little Fox Dropping the argument over (low the judge had ruled, Baumgardner reported that he was also submitting a petition to amend the zoning ordinance. “The only thing we can do today is transmit this to the Planning Commission,” chairman Luke responded. Court Battle Costly - Baumgardner explained that his client proposed the ordinance revisions because the. Ski Corporation felt an out-of-court settlement was preferrable to a court battle that would be timeconsuming and expensive for all parties. “The Ski Corporation has no interest in attacking the validity of the zoning ordinance,” Baumgardner claimed. "In fact, we’re interested in preserving the ordinance’s validity." He added that the values and rural character of the county would be significant in, drawing visitors out from the city to try the Alpine slide. ‘. . **WS liavi no interest-innullifying any section of the zoning ordinance.” he repeated. Want Answer Baumgardner added that his client would like an answer on the proposed ordinance changes as soon as possible in view of the pending litigation. As for the building permit, he noted that it was before the Board for action on Thursday if the Supervisors desired or action could be delayed until after consideration of the ordinance amendments. As the amendments proposed by Davis differ in some respects from those submitted by the Ski Corporation, Baumgardner suggested both be submitted to the Planning Commission. Emphasizing that approval of the building permit was strictly an administrative matter, Luke asked for a motion to approve issuance. “Is this appropriate for us to do?” asked Supervisor H. bH Wood. .. ' 'Luke insisted that If wis; noting that the courts had allowed (he Supervisors the right to intervene in the legal action between the BZA and the Ski Corporation. "It will show our intent," interjected Supervisor Clarence Baldwin. “And we have the legislative authority to do it,” Luke added. “It’s still an administrative action,” agreed George Davis. On a motion from Supervisor Butch Eastham, seconded by Baldwin, the Supervisors voted 4-1 to grant the building permit with Wood in opposition. Later, Baumgardner stated that the Ski Corporation wouldn't use the building permit until after action was taken on the proposed ordinance amendments. If the amendments ire approved by the Supervisors, the Rappahannock Zoning ordinance will allow the Alpine slide as a use by right in both the business district* in which most of the ski areaproperty lies and in the "renamed -conservationrecreation district. Letter To The Editor « >■ Proposition 13 To the Editor: In a recent editorial you state that no Proposition 13 is needed in Rappahannock County. I agree with you but for reasons, I suspect, quite different from those you had in mind. To date, no taxpayers’ revolt is justified in Rappahannock for the simple reason that the taxpayers of this County, through their elected representatives, have refused to buy the concept of the welfare state and its nofault society. It would seem that past and present supervisors have displayed intelligence and foresight, instead of being forced, as elsewhere, to uproot an all-consuming bureaucratic monster allowed to entrench itself under the guise of idealistic and “progressive” slogans. In the cited editorial and the one above it you beg taxpayers of this County to “pay a few more dollars” in taxes. You are talking against the wind; talking against the mood of this entire country which, having endured long enough the results of this kind of talk, is now turning on the monster. It seems that some people have to be hit over the head with a 2 by 4 to learn, but apparently the people- 41 Rappahannock do not, You accuse the Supervisors of economizing; you should congratulate them. You accuse the Supervisors of demanding a dollar’s value for a dollar spent; you should applaud them. ‘ You accuse the Supervisors of nit-picking over every addition to the county bureaucracy; you 'should praise them for it. •; i, You accuse the Supervisors if maintaining one of the lowest real property tax rates around, despite the fact that they are "mandated” by outsiders to spend here, there, and everywhere; is not this accomplishment worthy of praise rather than of i condemnation? • Your newspaper is very concerned with the subject of education and rightly so. You may be sure that the Supervisors and the School Board are, at least, equally concerned. Especially so when they learn from your paper that the children whose education the taxpayers are supporting cannot even read in their own language at grade level! (75 per cent of them; 50 per cent of them; or two thirds of whole classes ■ depending on which of your reported figures one wants to accept). The answer we get from your paper and from Dr. Bloomer seems to be that we have only to throw more money at the problem. Has it not been made crystal clear by now with the failure of various national and local educational programs based on the theory that the lavishing of additional funds does not by itself solve the problems? On the contrary, it only feeds the appetite of the monster those of Proposition 13 are sworn to uproot. You must look elsewhere for the cause of an illiterate school population; if you do, you may find that cause and help constructively to correct the most shameful situation in this County. Those who think the Proposition 13 movement sweeping the country is only about taxes are thinking wishfully. Jt is a revolt against oppressive taxation to be sure- But it is also a movement to root out the parasites from the federal, state, and municipal payrolls. ; (The writer knows full well /that some public employees are not parasites bgt until the . ‘‘good bureaucrats” are willing .to speak out against this snow-balling rip-off of the public, we cannot have much sympathy if they are , caught in the crossfire. 1, fin ' one, do not hyar then1 * speaking out), ; - *»■ ■Then who should be uprooted? Those who demand that the taxpaying public give them exactly what they demand, regardless ol ' performance, or else they Drill wreck the joint— Luck up the schools and luiii 11 ic iiiuuicii inn.) me streets; Let houses and businesses burn to the ground while the fire trucks are kept out of action; Let criminals take over the streets while policemen are kept off their beats; Let the garbage pile up to stink and spread disease while preventing its collection; Paralyze all postal communication and transport regardless of the anguish of the damned public; And now, if allowed to get away with it, get the ultimate hammerlock by “organizing” the armed forces of the nation. In short, those who would wage war on society itself. No county, no city, no nation can long operate and continue to exist amidst such chaos. Liberty disappears; dictatorship replaces it. If the reactionaries hoping to stop Proposition 13 will not accept a civilized and bloodless revolt, they will one day have to face a violent revolution and find themselves counterrevolutionaries. This is the explicit lesson of history. Taking one example, there could be no Proposition 13 in pre-Revolutionary France. The French people finally, in a fury of exasperation, plucked up their taxing tormentors, their arrogant parasites, and chopped them to bits - root and branch - beneath the blade of the guillotine. The new movement may help us avoid this grim scenario; I sincerely hope so. Otherwise, you and others who now talk against the wind may' have to face a whirlwind - along with the rest of us. Meanwhile, Rappahannock does not need Proportion 13 because the rest of the country is only now catching -op wjth Rappahannock on this one. ' f ROBERT W. EASTHAM Flint Hill ++++ Three grand essentials to, happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.

It explains in detail how to dry | flowers in a microwave oven, j “ Preparation for , microwave drying requires a ’ supportive substance for ( flowers that wilt. This drying 1 agent absorbs moisture so the l flower can dry in its natural form. I have found three drying agents to be most effective. I First is Silica-Gel available in most hobby shops. Second, an equal mixture of borax ^ and corn meal can be used. A third agent which is inexj pensive and easiest to use is "kitty litter.” 1 recommend the Hartz brand. It has great absorbing quality and is made of ground clay. For smoother surfaces, such as an orchid or daisy Silica-Gel is most satisfactory. All of these agents can be used over and over again. Containers for drying can be any size and made of glass or paper. Dessert or cereal size bowls, shoe boxes and cardboard platters work fine. DRYING FLOWERS Here is a step-by-step procedure for drying. 1. Select fresh flowers or leaves you wish to preserve. 2. Select containers deep enough so the drying agent covers the entire bloom. 3. Place a '/2-inch layer of the drying agent in container. Clip stem of flower about Viinch long. Then place flowers in agent, face up. With a spoon sprinkle granules of the agent gently between petals of flowers, making certain every petal is covered and not bent out of shape. 4. After flowers are carefully covered by agent, slip dish into the microwave oven. Also place a cup of water inside the oven to provide moisture. Set timer for about 1-3 minutes, depending upon the particular flower. (Later on 1*11 explain how to estimate proper oven drying time.) 5. After flowers have been “cooked,” remove from oven and leave in agent for at least 36 hours. When removing material from agent, gently tap the flower until all granules are removed. 6. One of the most important problems is storage of these beautiful blooms. I have found that plastic shoe and garment boxes work fine. Place a thin section of styrofoam in the base of the boxes. Then place flower head in position into styrofoam with a long corsage pin. Small bank pins are sufficient for smaller flowers. These transparent boxes can be stacked away until needed. 7. Stem sections can be added to the flowers when needed in design by using a florist wire 18” long gauge No. 20. Floral tape the entire length forming a loop on one end then use a quick drying glue. Spread glue lightly over the circle and place flower in position. Cut the wire according to the length needed in your arrangement. 8. Occasionally, after the flowers dry' they become brittle and may shatter when placed in the design. I have found a practical way to avoid this by using a humidifier. Wave the flower through the steam until it then becomes pliable. After you place the flowers in the arrangement they will again become dry and retain the desired form. Flowers dried in this manner are not as dry and perishable as flowers dried the old way. They feel and look more like fresh flowers. Like everything else worth doing at all, drying flowers must be done properly to get the best results. All flowers should be picked just as they are reaching their peak of bloom. If picked past their prime, when they have already started to turn brown, flowers will continue the browning process. Nothing will successfully prevent this. Correct timing, therefore is the first requisite. When drying roses, use Silica Gel. Carefully cover with the agent. Sprinkle between each petal until completely submerged. Place in oven for 2'/j minutes. Let these stand in the agent overnight. One or several roses can be dried at once using the same timing. When drying miniature roses and small flowers such as pansies, approximately 1 Vi minutes baking time is all that is necessary with about 10 hours set up time. Daisies, small dahlias black-eyed susans, zinnias, marigolds, carnations and small type chrysanthemums again use 2Vi minutes with about 10 hours cooling off period. Large dahlias, peonies, Chinese peonies, large chrysanthemums bake approximately for 3 minutes...and let stand in drying agent for about 26 hours. Orchids should be baked in Silica-Gel for approximately 1 Vi - 2 VS minutes...with set up time of 24 hours. Leaves can be microwaved dry, particularly the beautiful ones of interesting color and texture that are available in the fall. Foliage can form the major part of winter arrangements, with just a few flowers used in the focal area. To dry foliage, place a shallow box lid or platter in the bottom of the oven, next place a section of paper towel over the box, then start layering your leaves with paper towels. Use as many clean leaves "arwill easily go into the oven. Turn the mocrowave oven to IVt minutes. When the bell rings tuVn leaves and towels completely over and repeat the process, giving a total of three minutes exposure. Remove branches when the leaves are dry and beautiful. No set up time is needed...they are ready for placement in your design. Magnolia branches and leaves, ferns of all types, camellia foliage all may be dried by the same method and timing.”—by Grace Rymer 1755 Ocoee St. N.W., Oeveland, Ohio.

Some points to remember for getting the best paint job with die least amount of work include, first to paint the woodwork. Start by removing door plates and other hard ware. Use a liquid sander on woodwork with a sound surface of semi-gloss paint. If the old woodwork has been stained dark or if uie finish seems thin, use white shellac to seal it. Use a small scraper to remove blistered areas caused by window condensation, and feather edges with , 80-grit sandpaper. Your choice of woodwork paint can be gloss, semi-gloss enamel, or semi-gloss latex. Use both a short-nap roller and brush to expedite the job. Then, mask the windows and use a good sash brush.

Main St, Culpeper, 825-8232 Alcohol Related Traffic Deaths Drop J Twenty-nine persons were killed in traffic crashes during 1977 in Planning District Nine. Alcohol was a contributing factor in 45 percent of these deaths, according to a report just released by the District Nine VASAP in Culpeper. These figures are considerably less than 1976 when 36 persons were killed in traffic crashes in Planning District Nine with alcohol being involved in 76 percent of those deaths. In Rappahannock County during 1977, thfre were 28 a I c oh ol - re I a t ed t raffic crashes. One person was killed in a traffic crash involving alcohol. Dean Irvine, Director of i he District Nine VASAP, stated that there were several possible reasons for this decrease in alcohol related fatalities. Among these reasons are: increased enforcement, accounting for a 20 percent increase in "drunk driving” arrests for 1977 over 1976; increased public awareness of what problems drinking and driving can cause as pointed out by federal, state and local public information programs; the activities of local VASAP programs in the areas of education and treatment. Irvine further stated that it will take several years to show the full impact of the k VASAP program in a given area and we should not conclude that this decrease will become a trend. There have been 82 persons killed in the five-county area in the past five years as a result of alcohol related crashes. It seems that many persons are guilty of concluding that drinking and driving is not a serious highway safety problem. National statistics show r that alcohol is involved in at least 50 percent of all traffic fatalities. It is the most serious highway safety problem ranking first and far ahead of all other traffic violations that contribute to or cause accidents, according to Irvine. + + + + Reasoning is thinking, and the main difference between man and the lower forms of animal is his ability to think.

SSI Recipients Must Report Changes People who receive supplemental security income (SSI) payments because they are 65 years or over, or blind, or disabled are responsible for reporting any change in their circumstances that could have an effect on their monthly payment, Bruce A. Hundley, social security manager in Culpeper, said recently. It is extremely important that these reports are made on time. Hundley said. If not, incorrect payments might be made that would have to be repaid, or the person might be due more money than he or she received. It is easy to make a required report, Hundley said. Reports can be made in person or by phone. In any report, be sure to include these details: Name of the person, the correct social security claim number under which the payment is being made, the change being reported, the date it occurred, and if the report is in writing, signature and address. The following occurrences must be reported to social security— —Any move or change of address. —Entry to or discharge from an institution. —Leaving U.S. —Separation of husband and wife. —Marriage or the end of marriage. —Any change in income. —Any change in resources—property or materials that are owned. Blind or disabled people should also report any improvement in condition, and if the person takes a job while still disabled. Students under 22 should report if they start or stop attending school. In addition, someone should notify social security on behalf of a person who becomes unable to manage his or her own money and upon the death of a person. To make reports about SSI or to get more information, contact the Social Security Office in Culpeper, located at 522 Culpeper Shopping Center. The telephone number is 825-3500.

Sheriff May Get Third Deputy (Continued from Page 1) The only restrictions on a deputy funded through VASAP’s Selective Enforcement Grant would be that he could not be used for legal service or court duty, according to Irvine. "He could patrol, answer emergency calls, check businesses while he is patrolling and handle all violations of the law that he observes,” the VASAP director wrote. •* Irvine informed the Supervisors that the grant period was for one year, beginning October 1, and urged that application be made as soon as possible. He noted that the vehicle and installed equipment becomes the property of the Rappahannock Sheriff s Department if the grant is not renewed after one year. "I feel strongly that, from past observations, these grants will be ongoing as long as there is increased drunk driving enforcement.” Irvine concluded.

Bridges, two 25 Acre tracts sold, one 15 Acre to be sold, retaining 35 acres The above division requires rezoning from A 1 and CV 1 to RS 1 and this is due notice to whom it may concern that the proposal will be given consideration at a Public Hearing held by the Planning Commission at the next regular meeting on August 16, 1978, 7:30 p m., in the Courthouse Building, Washington, Virginia By: Planning Commission Rappahannock County By Merle Scoggin, Secretary __ 22al0 announced that he was not in favor of trying for the Selective Enforcement Grant because he didn't know enough about the restrictions in the program. "This is the most I’ve heard since it was brought up (at a Supervisors meeting two months ago).” Buntin said. "I assume this person will be working five days a week, eight hours a day...mostly doing patrolling, looking for drunk drivers." the Sheriff said. "The other men in my department will be working 15, 16 hours a day, six days a week." he said, adding that the deputies all drove their own cars—automobiles that aren't as well equipped as the police cruiser available through VASAP. Having a new deputy who worked shorter hours in a car supplied through VASAP would be “demoralizing" to the men already on the force, according to Buntin. He also noted that the VASAP deputy wouldn't be able to take courtroom duty. “That’s one of our greatest needs," Buntin maintained. In addition, he said, more records would have to be kept by a part-time secretary who’s already overburdened. Relieve Pressure George Davis asked if a new VASAP deputy wouldn’t relieve a lot of “patrolling pressure” on the Sheriffs Department. “We don’t patrol as such anyhow,” Buntin responded. “Well. I know they write a lot of traffic tickets,” countered Davis. Buntin explained that his deputies are not out on the road “just to look for traffic violations" but rather wrote tickets when they saw a violation while in the performance of their other duties. "I’ll have to agree with Mr. Buntin,” interjected Supervisor H. B. Wood. “He has to run his department. If he’s against it (applying for a VASAP deputy) then I’m against it.” Supervisor Butch Eastham also added his support to Buntin’s position.

The new deputy will also be able to investigate crimes, according to Irvine. He noted that the only facets of police work that the new deputy couldn’t cover would be court protection and serving legal papers. The Supervisors suggested that Buntin look further into the Selective Service Grant program after the Sheriff remarked that the information from Irvine was new to him. “I discussed it with you six months ago,” claimed Davis. "No, you didn’t,” Buntin answered. Irvine reported that the program has been in existence since 1973 with several cities .and Roanoke County winning grants. The Supervisors took no action on the grant application listed as $22,882.10 in the sample supplied by Irvine. The total breaks down to $8,508 for salary and fringe benefits, $2,038.10 for other job costs including insurance and hospitalization, $6,000 for a police cruiser, $1,435 for car equipment and $5,400 for maintenance on the vehicle. The description of the project as given in the application calls for a police officer and fully-equipped cruiser “to be used primarily on D.U.I. (driving under the influence) selective enforcement.” An additional deputy j funded with federal money through VASAP will enable the Sheriffs Department to "spend more time on D.U.I enforcement” and would “allow the other officers to be more readily available for other law enforcement activities,” according to the project description.
