Mixed Drinks Make Ballot Liquor by the drink will be on Rappahannock ballots in the November election, thanks to a last minute drive by friends of The Inn at Little Washington. On Tuesday evening, Patrick O'Connell and Reinhardt Lynch, proprietors of The Inn, lacked more than 150 names toward^ the goal of 298 signatures necessary to have the question put to a referendum. (The required number of names is equal to 15 per cent of the registered voters who voted in the last presidential election.) During the next 48 hours, friends managed to bring in more than 300 additional signatures and by 3 p.m. Friday afternoon. General Registrar Mary Cleverly had authenticated 328 names—well over the necessary 298. As a result. Rappahannock citizens will be able to vote yes or no in November on allowing county restaurants to serve mixed beverages. On the basis of the support that the petitions received. Lynch is cautiously optimistic about the chances for approval. “We’re pleased that people are adamantly supporting the petition drive.” he remarked. Should the referendum be approved, restaurants will still have to meet Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Board requirements before obtaining a license to serve liquor by the drink. Primarily, licensing criteria involve seating capacity and volume of food sales. In order to qualify, an establishment must have a minimum seating capacity of 50 and must show at least $3,000 per month in food sales of which 50 per cent has to be in the form of meals. Currently, the ABC Board is wrestling with the definition of what constitutes a "meal." In neighboring Fauquier County, Nabil K. Sharikas from the Cardinal Restaurant in Warrenton, has applied for a license to sell wine. His application will probably be denied on the grounds that the Cardinal does not qualify as a restaurant since its food sales—mainly pizza—are not considered "meals.” In June, the Cardinal had on-premises food sales totalling more than $5,000 but under ABC Board standards, only 25 per cent of those sales were for "meals." The rest of the Cardinal's business—sandwich and pizza sales—was classified by the ABC Board as snacks. The Cardinal’s menu lists 18 different dinners, 15 varieties of pizza and 33 kinds of submarines plus light and dark draft beer and 15 domestic and imported bottled brands. If pizzas counted as meals, the Cardinal would have between 45 and 50 per cent of its food sales as meals and could meet ABC Board licensing requirements. A public hearing on the Cardinal's application for a wine license was held Thurday, September 7. ABC personnel will announce their decision on the application 10 days after the hearing date.

According to Sheriff W. A. Buntin. a large window glass on a construction vehicle parked on Route 637 was broken out. The value of the glass was estimated at S550. he said. At the trailer office of the Henderson Construction Company situated behind Amissville fire house, six panes of glass were discovered broken out Monday morning, also. Stones had been hurled through the windows and at the side of the trailer, inflicting damage, according to Sgt. R. D. Hawkins. The estimate of damage there was $500. Approximately 200 feet of telephone cable was stolen from a spool on Route 637 last Thursday night. This was valued at $600. At a private home on Route 637 two tanks of propane gas were vandalized. One tank was discovered nearby empty and the second tank has not been found. This occurred at the home of James Petty and damage was estimated at $125, according to Hawkins. —Rappahannock New* Photo/S. Latham WIT KUNCEWICZ demonstrates the air system which is used in his greenhouses to grow hydroponic tomatoes. Grow T omatoes ‘Nature’s Way’ Without Soils By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New-. Staff Writer Mow’d you like to extern! your expected life span three times beyond the normal and on top of that, spend your days in cir conditioned elegance witVi ‘servants' to attend to your every need? If it sounds appealing, find a way to turn yourself into a tomato and hitch a ride to Wit and Dorothy Kuncewicz’s hydroponic greenhouse outside of Flint Hill. The Kuncewicz’s have freed their agricultural enterprise from dependency on the whims of weather and the fragile few inches of top soil. Behind their barns, paddocks and hay fields, they have constructed two enormous green houses where they are raising row upon row of hydroponic tomatoes. "It’s a logical extension of a natural process," Wit explained. "It's nothing new. The tomatoes are sun ripened on the vine and grown exactly the way Mother Nature demands for the best results." The greenhouses are constructed of clear plastic material that allows the sun's rays through. Two large fans at one end of the building keep air circulating and the temperature constant, while a uJeARaD^n? ‘T*1* “ f11"* Hfll wil1** remodelSSTT i£S£“U °* APP**U P*™i« lor Uh- u« .. the BZA pump supplies nutrients to the tomato beds in ten minute intervals interspersed between five minute breaks for air. Everything is tied together—kind of like the old song about the hip bone connected to the thigh bone connected to the knee bone on down to the ankle and so on. In the Kuncewicz's greenhouses, the connections are all electrical. A thermostat control activates the two fans, one at a time, as the temperature reaches certain levels. The second fan activates a pump that turns on a sprinkler system at the other end of the building. The sprinkler system creates a curtain of moisture that helps keep the temperature down in the building. That's the summer set up. For colder weather, the greenhouses have two heating systems with tubes that run between the tomato plants. And in summer and winter, fresh air is brought into the plants 24 hours a day with an extra heavy dose at night. The tomatoes are grown in five beds 130 feet long with two rows to each bed and kept erect by a system of adjustable plastic lines and clamps. The plants themselves are nothing fancy or exotic. In fact. Wit has used the same variety that is recommended by VPI for growing outdoors in Virginia in cages. Between the complicated equipment and the growing plants. Wit and Dorothy don’t have a minute of free time. "I spent the night here last week,” Wit confessed. “I came down to check at II and just as I was turning off the light. I saw a leak." He couldn't find the hole where the nutrient-water mix was escaping from the tomato beds so he curled up and went to sleep in the greenhouse, awakening every hour to make sure the water levels were high enough. "It stopped the next day." he said. “But 1 never did find the hole. I still don't know where it came from." Besides attending to these little emergencies. Dorothy and Wit spend seven days a week working in the greenhouses. "The two of us put in from eight to 16 hours a day,” Wit reported, adding that they also employed two women on a part-time basis. "Don’t forget Alexander." interjected Dorothy, explaining that their son also (Continued on Page 8) Alpine Slide Gets Go Ahead Supervisors Approve Ordinance Changes By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Despite opposition—and no support—at the Supervisors’ public hearing last Thursday, the Rappahannock Board adopted zoning ordinance amendments that transform previously designated conservation areas with slopes over 14 per cent into a new district labeled conservationrecreation (CV-1). In the new district and in the existing business district as well, outdoor recreation uses will not require a special use permit. The amendments specifically list gravity slides, skiing, swimming pools and tennis courts as outdoor recreation allowed by right. However, outdoor recreation allowed by right is “not limited to” those four specific activities. In opening the public hearing, chairman E. P. Luke listed a few ground rules: speakers were allowed five minutes and were to come to the front of the courtroom and take a chair at the Board table. Luke emphasized that he didn’t want people "to come up here and talk about the ski lodge..The rule is down clear," he stated, adding that comments were to be addressed only tow ards the amendments under consideration by the Supervisors. The amendments to Rappahannock’s Zoning Ordinance however, appear directly related to the ski area question since the amendments were proposed by the ski area lawyer Douglas Baumgardner and Commonwealth Attorney George Davis as a way out of the expensive litigation involving both parties and the county Board of Zoning Appeals. Past History Last November, the Ski Corporation applied for a special use permit to reopen the twice bankrupt ski area with a snowless Alpine gravity slide and other summer support activities. According to testimony from corporation president Jim Moore, his company needed Mrs. Miller Named Heart Chairman Mrs. Paul Miller of Flint Hill has been reappointed as the American Heart Association's Memorial Gift Chairman for Rappahannock County. The reappointment marks the 26th year that Mrs. Miller has served as Memorial Gift Chairman. Last year, $128.24 was received in the county from memorial contributions. This year the Heart Association's memorial program will have a new theme. "A Time To Remember." The program encourages gifts for any occasion—get well, birthday, anniversary or death. For the first time, scrolls listing all contributors will be sent to the honored person when more than one individual makes a contribution. The scrolls can be used on special occasions like birthdays, weddings and graduations as well as for the traditional memorializing of the deceased. The American Heart Association uses the money received from the contributions to support the programs of research. education and community service. During 1978-79 over S20 million will be awarded by the Heart Association to support research of the heart and blood vessels, making AHA the largest independent supporter of cardiovascular research in the world. As a result of the continuing work in heart research and public education, dramatic declines over the last decade have been detected in several areas of cardiovascular deaths are down 21.3 per cent; stroke deaths. -27.9 per cent and hypertensive deaths. -47.9 per cent. To make a memorial gift, send your contribution with the name of the person to be honored, your name and address as well as that of the person to be notified. Checks should be made out to the American Heart Association and sent to Mrs. Paul Miller. Box 188. Flint Hill. Virginia 22627. The gift is tax deductible and will be acknowledged to the family, with the amount being held confidential. For more details. Mrs. Miller can be reached at 675-3375. —lUppiliUBok Nm PVo«o/S.

The Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals held two packed public hearings on the permit application. (Both the ski area and the BZA refused to accept Commonwealth Attorney Davis's contention that Moore could have all the uses listed in the permit request as a matter of right.) Subsequently, the BZA voted unanimously to dens the permit application in its entirety, including denial of the right to continue skiing. Although there was some initial confusion over what the BZA's decision had been — to turn down the Alpine slide or turn down everything listed in the application—chairman Josel Gardiner and other BZA members later emphasized that the vote had been to deny the total application.

P. Luke, chairman of the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors; Frank Dunstan, Audubon Society representative, and Mr fioowe McGhee. Windrush Wildlife Sanctuary: ‘Tremendous In Implications’ By FR ANK NORRIS Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer A new venture in wildlife preservation which involves an ardent conservationist couple, the expertise of the Audubon Society and the administrative help of the Piedmont Environmental Council has turned 850 acres of rolling land in Rappahannock County, into the Windrush Wildlife Sanctuary. The implications for preservation of wildlife are tremendous. The Windrush Sanctuary is a pilot element in the Audubon-PEC program to establish a series of wildlife sanctuaries along the eastern slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The area encompassed is one of the last relatively unspoiled rural areas in this section of the country. An excellent balance of land use attracts a strong natural population of birds and small game. Much of the land in this area is held in large parcels by civic-minded and conservation-oriented individuals. It is hoped that this pilot program will demonstrate a way for land owners on an informal basis, to put their land to use for the protection of the existing natural balance of land and wildlife. Such sanctuaries can provide an ideal counterpart to the well-established state and federal programs, and can offer excellent opportunities for citizens to study and observe wildlife in a natural setting. Owners will retain full control of the land and pay all of the expenses in connection with its upkeep. Gift From McGhees Windrush Sanctuary is the idea and the contribution of former Ambassador and Mrs. George McGhee who first proposed the concept to the Piedmont Environmental Council. They then helped perfect the idea in joint meetings between PF.C and the Audubon Society and the effort benefitted greatly from the professional advice of Prof. Ben Howland, of the University of Virginia, formerly a key planner with the U.S. Park Service. Jcin The Hcve Te BARRON’S TIRE SERVICE f ® 301 MAIN ST. • CULPEPER• 825-2471 Gen. Norris is president of 'he Piedmont Environmental Council. Their farm, called Windrush, is on Rt. 673 near Flint Hill and is a scenic and attractive piece of land with a two and a half mile frontage along the Jordan River. There are some tremendous trees on the property including an enclave of Eastern Hemlock that somehow missed the axe during the period of lumbering in the area and now tower in real majesty. The open fields and the hardwood forests of Windrush harbor an excellent selection of wildflowers. At this time of year the pale blue of the Virginia day lilies contrasts nicely with the redorange of the butterfly bush along the trails. Perhaps one way to give a better look at Windrush would be to quote from a report turned in by the first two amateur, but avid birdwatchers who asked for permission to use the property: “We didn't pick the best time for our visit, but Dave had to leave Tuesday for Ohio, so regardless of the fact that it had rained all night, we started early in the mornint? as that seems to be the best time for bird watching. ''Ground fog remained fairly heavy, and the wet underbrush as we got into the forest had us soaked to the waist in short order but we had a wonderful time. A Sighting Of Hawks "We hadn’t gone a quarter of a mile until Dave exclaimed: Look at that—I've never before seen five hawks in the same tree." A delegation of crows soon arrived to drive off the hawks, but not until we had seen enough of size and color to determine that they were sparrow hawks. "Within the next 10 minutes we had identified a yellow breasted chat, an indigo bunting and two scarlet tanagers. My partner then quoted an in house joke about a little old lady in their Audubon Society in Cleveland who said. "Well, we've seen one pretty blue bird, one brilliant yellow bird, and one bright red bird: we might as well go home now!" "The morning was full of pleasant surprises; and we identified about 30 different species without effort and spent some time trying to run down a small bird with a loud, plaintive cry, but could never get close enough to see it. Dave, with all of his years of bird watching, was able to add two new species to his life list of birds identified in the field." Well, that's Windrush for you. It has everything to attract a wide variety of birds and wildlife. About half the area is in open fields, perfect spots for the prairie-type birds such as the grasshopper sparrow. The balance is eastern hardwood forest, with the beginnings of some evergreen forest also. Stream Over Ledges The land is rolling and drops sharply to the Jordan, a beautiful stream that rolls and tumbles over rocky ledges and splashes off from clitTlike rock walls. A small pond on the property attracts another variety of birds. including at least one family of great blue herons. In the operation of the sanctuary, the Audubon Society will provide sponsorship and occasional monitoring of the program, including visits by technically trained field representatives to assure that all opportunities for professional management and improvement are seized upon. The role of PEC will be to publicize and support the program, acting as the administrative center to arrange for the use of the sanctuary by interested visitors and groups, and it is hoped that many will want to use it. A number of trail walks averaging about five easy miles each are being established, and rules for the use of the property are simple and straightforward. Copies may be obtained at the Piedmont Environmental Council. Further information and permission to use Windrush may be obtained by calling the PEC office at 703-3472334. or by writing them at 28C Main St., Warrenton. Va. 2218b. PEC would, of course, be happy to work with any land owners who may be interested in establishing a comparable sanctuary; we believe this is a program which deserves wide support and increasing participation.

REALTOR I ITEMIZE HOUSE TAX DEDUCTIONS I One of the great financial benefits of home ownership versus rental is that you are immediately eligible to deduct a goodsized amount of money from your income tax. As a homeowner, you will generally find it to your advantage to itemize deductions rather than taking the standard deduction. This is especially true during the earlier years of home ownership. The mortgage interest and real property taxes on your personal residence, when added to other deductible items will usually be well in excess of any standard deduction you could claim. Your home pavment may consist of several parts; an amount placed in escrow to pay real estate taxes and fire insurance. FHA mortgage insurance premiums, and an amount applied to reduce the principal ot the mortgage. Of these parts, onlv the interest and taxes are deductible - but that will prove to be a very sizable figure.

Virginia apple producers are expected to begin harvesting one of their best crops in years. After a season of unusually good weather, apple trees in Rappahannock and throughout the state are heavy with fruit. The United States Department of Agriculture Crop Reporting Service predicts a harvest in the Commonwealth of 10.7 million bushels, a significant increase over last year's crop of around seven million bushels. In I975. a season which produced the largest Virginia crop in recent years, apple growers sent some 1.4 million bushels to market. According to the September edition of Farm Bureau News, there have been indications that the national apple crop is projected to be larger than normal, which may make selling of Virginia apples a bit more difficult. While supplies and quality are up. prices have dropped from last vear. In the September b bulletin from National Fruit, producers of apple products that carry the White House label, prices for canners were given at $3.75 to $5.50 per hundred weight, depending on fruit size, while straight loads of juice apples sold at S4 per hundred weight. Both quotations were for fruit delivered to Winchester. Last year, canners ran from $5 to $7.75—approximately $2 more per hundred weight. Producers here are afraid that the plunge in the canner market sill be reflected in prices that apples intended for fresh fruit sales will bring later in the season. They are also concerned that President Carter may slap on price controls as a last ditch effort to halt inflation, thus setting apple prices at a level lower than the fruit has brought in years. At Sharp’* Farm At Capt. and Mrs. George Sharp's farm outside Washington, the only county orchard listed in VPI's pickyour-own bulletin, a bushel of apples with container sells for $5—the same price that the Sharps charged last year. Although pick-your-own operations aren't burdened with paying wages for harvesting, upkeep expenses on the orchard itself are higher. In addition to keeping the orchard carefully mowed, the Sharps must continue maintenance work on the picnic area and hiking trails that they open to customers. Although this year's heavy crop has lowered the per bushel price that apples will bring, the producer’s other expenditures haven’t gone down. Pickers are paid at least 35 cents per bushel to harvest processing and juicing apples. Shipping costs from Rappahannock to Winchester run approximately 25 cents per bushel. At $4 per hundred weight, a bushel of juice apples brings less than $2 BEFORE picking, shipping and other production costs are figured in. With only harvest expenses taken into account, juicers will bring a return of less than $1.25 per bushel. This figure doesn’t include the grower’s costs for spraying, pruning, thinning or other related activities. For apples destined for fresh fruit sales, picking costs are higher with workers paid as much as 50 cents per bushel to handle delicate Golden Delicious apples. In addition, the grower must pay for having his produce graded, washed, brushed and packed. This banner year for apples begins to look like a mixed blessing for growers. While inflation has sent prices sky rocketing for just about everything else on the market, the price of apples remains governed by supply and demand and in a year like this one. that means low! Farm Bureau Urges Gas Price Deregulation Now The board of directors of the American Farm Bureau Federation has urged rejection of the proposed "phased-in deregulation" of natural gas prices, as offered in a congressional committee report on President Carter's energy bill. Robert B. Delano, president of the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation, said immediate deregulation of natural gas pricing rather than a step-by-step phase-in "is in the best interests of farmers and the national economy." Delano serves as vice president of the American Farm Bureau Federation and a member of the national board of directors. The seven-year " phased - in" decontrol of natural gas pricing is the center of the compromise natural gas legislation drawn up by a joint House-Senate conference committee report. President Carter says he supports the conference compromise. Farm Bureau has sent letters to members of the U. S. Senate, calling for immediate deregulation of the pricing on natural gas. saying. "There are vast reserves of natural gas that have not been tapped because the price of natural gas is held artificially low. These reserves will not be developed under the lengthy system of phased-in deregulation." Farm Bureau emphasizes that agriculture cannot make up for production lost as a result of a natural gas shortage. Without an agricultural priority for natural gas. Farm Bureau said, it would be difficult to meet this nation's requirements for food and fiber. -Rappahannock N^w* Staff Photo/Andy Kayr Our Rappahannock Heritage Scenic Rivers And Roads For Rappahannock? The state Commission of Outdoor Recreation will hold a series of public forums around the state during September to give interested citizens an opportunity to comment on the final 1979 Virginia Outdoors Plan. The meeting for this area is set for Thursday, September 28, at Warren County High School in Front Royal from noon to 3 p.m. A second night session is scheduled for the same location beginning at 7 p.m. The draft Outdoors Plan singles out Route 729 in Rappahannock County from Route 211 to Route 522 as having "potential for consideration and possible designation as components in the Virginia Byway system." If designated as a scenic byway by the state Highway Commission, road markers indicating the designation will be put up along Route 729. In addition, future road improvements will be restricted unless the Highway Department acts to change the designation. Inclusion in the Virginia Byway system carries no restrictions on land use on either side of the road. The Rappahannock River in Rappahannock. Fauquier and Culpeper Counties, from its headwaters to the Town of Remington, and the Thornton and Hazel Rivers in Rappahannock and Culpeper Counties, from Sperryville to the Rappahannock River, are under consideration for "study and possible inclusion into the Virginia Scenic Rivers System." according to the draft Plan. SM AMONG THOSE ATTENDING Recreation Center at Washington Owings, and many others. —lUppahuinock News Phuto/h. Utham THE BENEFIT country music festival Sunday at the Rappahannock were Diane Bruce, Aubrey North, Jack Bruce, Pauline Bruce, Linda There are currently four scenic rivers in the state: two in Loudoun County, one in Albemarle and the Staunton River in southside Virginia that won approval last year. Scenic river designation is made by the General Assembly with the approval of the Governor. The status applies bank-tobank ot^y. Once a river receives scenic designation, there can be no obstruction or impoundment to the natural flow of water without specific approval of the General Assembly. An advisory committee recommended by local government and appointed by the Outdoors Commission oversees the protection and management of a scenic river. It is important to note that scenic river status doesn't allow public access to private property along the river. According to the draft Outdoors Plan, the Northern Piedmont section of Virginia has an abundance of federal recreation land but has an inadequate supply of local, park and recreation facilities. The Northern Piedmont section. Region 7, includes the City of Charlottesville and the Counties of Rappahannock. Albemarle. Culpeper. Madison. Orange, Fauquier. Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa. Nelson. Amelia, Buckingham. Charlotte. Cumberland. Lunenburg, Nottoway and Prince Edward. The draft says that only 13 of the 17 localities in the region provide any recreational facilities whatsoever, and only two of those localities—Albemarle and the City of Charlottesville—have substantial systems. The Virginia Outdoors Plan draft says that a 1977 inventory shows the region to have a 9.395 acre shortage of local public recreation areas and open spaces. There is an acute shortage of water-based recreation facilities in the region, according to the draft. Based on population figures. Rappahannock Robinson Aide Visits Jim Hobgood. assistant to Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson, will be at the courthouse in Washington from 10 a.m. to noon on Wednesday. September 20. Any Rappahannock citizen with a problem of a federal nature, or who wants to relay opinions on national legislative issues or simply discuss matters of concern may meet with Hobgood at the courthouse. should have 270 acres in local and regional parks. Currently, the county has only six acres. The draft makes a number of recommendations for increasing recreational opportunities in the region, liie draft says that a portion of the need for water-based recreational activities can be satisfied by providing more access to the rivers in Region 7 and surrounding regions, and by giving priority to the acquisition and development of water-oriented parks within the region. The intent of the Virginia Outdoors Plan is to direct the efforts of federal, state and local agencies, and the private sector, in the acquisition and development of the state's outdoor recreation resources. In effect, it sets the broad policy of the Commonwealth for outdoor recreation. The Plan also qualifies the state for participation in the Federal Land and Water Conservation Fund program, which provides matching grants for the state and local jurisdictions. for the acquisition and development of outdoor recreation facilities. The draft of the 1979 Virginia Outdoors Plan can be reviewed at Rappahannock-Rapidan Planing District 9 offices in Culpeper. Regional summaries are available from the PD9 Commission or from the Commission of Outdoor Recreation. Persons unable to attend the forum in Front Royal on September 28 may send written comments by October 15 to the Commission of Outdoor Recreation. 803 East Broad Street. Richmond, Va. 23219.

Coleman Hits VEPCO Efficiency Virginia Attorney General Marshall Coleman proposed a new policy that would cut VEPCO’s allowed rate of return until the utility improves its levels of efficiency. In his statement before the State Corporation Commission. Coleman said today that a productivity incentive is needed to encourage more effective use of existing resources and improved performance by VEPCO. Coleman cited testimony by the SCC staff which noted that VEPCO's operating costs were in the top 25 percent of the nation's 225 electricity utility companies. In addition. the testimony noted that since 1973. VEPCO rates have risen faster than the consumer price index. Coleman told the Commission that once VEPCO has demonstrated improved efficiency. 9.66 percent would be a fair rate of return, based on expert witness' testimony. However. Coleman said that until this improved efficiency is demonstrated. 9.4 percent, a lower rate of return suggested by other expert testimony. would be adequate. In testimony filed with the SCC earlier, the Atorney General said that more than $100 million of VEPCO's requested $246 million rate increase is not needed. Some major revenue reductions indicated in the testimony of the Attorney General include: —a $30 million savings in accounting methods used to project revenues derived from the North Anna plant: — A $25 million savings that would be derived if the SCC turned down VEPCO's request allowing the company to pass on to consumers the financing costs of construction while work ^is in progress. (Currently VEPCO and other public utilities are required to wait to pass financing costs of construction on to consumers until after construction is completed); —an approximate $32 million savings using the Attorney General's 9.(>(> percent estimate for the rate of return rather than VEPCO’s requested 10. It) rate of return; —an $11 million savings if VF.PCO continues to reprocess spent nuclear fuel rather than treating spent nuclear fuel as a one time expense among others. SS Still A Good Buy Social security is still a bargain for the average person in spite of recent legislation increasing future tax revenue. Bruce A. Hundley, social security manager in Culpeper, said recently. "Contrary to the impression given by recent news stories, most people can expect to get their money back from social security. And those that suffer the worst risks that their social security contributions protect against—loss of income because of death at an early age or disability—will, of course, receive many times their tax contributions." Hundley stated. He noted that because news accounts have given the impression that social security taxes would triple in 10 years there appeared to be some concern that social security was no longer a good buy. Actually, taxes will triple over the amount paid in 1979. for only the highest earners—those earning more than $30,000 a year. For most people, the increase in taxes will be modest over the next 10 years. Hundley said that these conclusions were also reported in a recent social security study of the impact of future taxes on the value of a person's social security protection. The study concluded that steady workers either married or unmarried can generally expect to gain additional benefits that are worth more than their own future social security taxes. Hundley noted that the study stated that the main exception to the rule is the highly paid worker who remains unmarried—the future benefits are worth slightly less than the future taxes. He cautioned that the social security study used hypothetical situations, and should be considered reasonable estimates rather than guaranteed predictions. "Of course, you can t predict the future earnings or life span of any one person, so how much you get from social security will ultimately reflect your own participation and work experience." he said. He noted that a number of factors affected the amount of a family's social security benefits, including the worker's average annual earnings over the years and the number of dependents.

The Rappahannock Supervisors, in agreement with Davis that no special use permit was required, petitioned the court as an “aggrieved party" for the right to intervene in the writ of certiorari proceedings and their request was granted. Although Moore volunteered in the interum to abide by the wishes of a majority of county voters if a referendum could be held on the ski area issue, nothing further came of his offer. On Monday, July 24, in Leesburg. Judge Carleton Penn ruled at a pre-trial conference that the BZA had authority to issue or deny the ski area's special use permit application. Penn also found that the ski area could attack the constitutionality of the county's zoning ordinance—specifically on the issue of whether the criteria under which the BZA considers use permits are too general and vague for a nonlegislative body. At the July conference, all attorneys involved indicated that they wished to give additional evidence and Penn continued the case for 24 days to allow the lawyers to submit memorandum of authorities. There the matter rested, in the hands of the court, until Davis and Baumgardner proposed the ordinance amendments at the August meeting of the Rappahannock Board. The county Supervisors forwarded the amendments to the Planning Commission with a request that the tw'o bodies jointly advertize for the required public hearings. But. at the same time, the Supervisors voted four to one to issue a building permit to the ski area. The building permit allowed all the uses requested in the earlier special use application. The Board granted this BEFORE adoption of the amendments that would legally allow those same uses in the ski area's conservation and business zoned property without a special use permit. However. Baumgardner indicated that the ski area would not attempt to use its building permit until the Mission Circle The Susan Wood Circle of Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church will hold its monthly meeting on Thursday, Sept. 21, at the church at I o'clock. State missionary Mary Miller will be the guest speaker and everyone is invited to hear her message. Surprise Parly Edward H. Bailey. Sr., of Washington was honored by his children with a surprise birthday party Sunday, Sept. 10, at Breeze Hill, home of Mr. and Mrs. David Davis. Ninety-two friends and relatives from Pennsylvania. Maryland. Washington, D.C., and Virginia attended and five generations of the Bailey family were present. ordinance amendments were approved. Citizen Opposition Several persons at the public hearing last Thursday spoke against adoption of the proposed ordinances, repeating concerns expressed at the Planners’ meeting. No one but attorney Baumgardner and Ski Corporation Jinf* Moore spoke for approval. Howard Holschuh protested against lumping conservation with recreation. He asked if forestry, a use allowed by right in a conservation-recreation zone, included the right to clear cut timber, adding that this use would not preserve and protect the environmentally sensitive slopes over 14 per cent. “They’ve been clear cutting around here for years," interjected Supervisor Butch Eastham. “I haven’t seen any," countered Supervisor H. B. Wood. He added that the time for changing the county's ordinances was during considerations on the Rappahannock’s comprehensive plan, required for adoption by July, 1980. Nets Karson objected to the "piecemeal approach" to a "very large problem." He charged that the amendments before the Supervisors were “designed to cope with the Alpine slide case. Any other explanation is a smokescreen,” he insisted. Parson questioned the advisability of combining conservation and recreation into a single district that allowed outdoor recreation as a use by right. “We can certainly allow recreation with controls, even profit making recreation, but it should be on a case-by-case basis, considered by the public, considered by you," he said to the Supervisors. Approval of the amendments will allow “commercial exploitation of a conservation district by right." Parsons continued. "A property owner can do anything as long as it's called outdoor recreation." he said. "That aspect will be just devastating to the county,” Parson concluded. ; « r* » « Werner Kreoser stated that he too felt there was "no real emergency" to change the zoning ordinance and that action on any amendments should be postponed until work on the county's Application For National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit To Discharge To State Waters And Application For State Certificate Under Section 62.1-44.2 Et. Seq. Of The Code Of Virginia (1950), As Amended Public Notice Number: VA-NRO-M-0144 Public Notice Issue Date (First day of publication - to be supplied by the publisher) The following discharger has applied for a NPDES Permit and State Certificate to discharge treated wastewaters into the waters of the Commonwealth of Virginia: Name: Rappahannock High School Address: P.O.

He said that he saw “no controls” on outdoor recreation in the amendments and maintained that, if adopted, the amendments would allow roller coasters by right along with gravity slides. The amendments, if approved, will “really haunt us for a long, long time to come,” Krebser concluded. Recreation districts and conservation districts “don't seem to be the same thing,” said Stan Thompson, adding that combining the two would be disastrous. In a conservation area, he said, a developer should have to prove that an activity won't harm the environment instead of being allowed to proceed by right. "We’re dealing here with the single resource we have to support life—our soil,” stated Waldron O’Connor. Land over 14 per cent grade is “particularly vulnerable,” he added. “To combine the terms recreation and conservation is to negate the word conservation," O’Connell maintained. Dr. William Young noted that the proposed amendments, although clearly aimed at one piece of property, were all in conw elusive and didn’t restrict any kind of outdoor recreation. “It leaves the door wide open," he contended. Miriam Harris, final speaker against adoption of the amendments, called for changes in the zoning ordinance to be made “in much more fair and practical fashion" during consideration of the county's comprehensive plan. In addition, she told the Supervisors of two instances of clearcutting. The first she cited was on an old farm near Huntly that now belongs to Jay Dawson where pine was replanted during a drought. “It was just a mess with soil running down...The pine didn't take hold," she said. The second instance of clearcutting occured on several hundred acres near Rock Mills, according to Mrs. Harris. Puzzled By “Bells Of Alarm” Ski area attorney Douglas Baumgardner stated that he was puzzled by objections to recreation for profit since recreational uses were already allowed by right in a conservation zone. In regard to the lack of public support voiced for the amendments at Thursday’s hearing, he maintained that the ski area's involvement in the push for adoption was “very limited." "We made no effort to have anyone here” because ski area personnel felt that public discussion on the issue had “reached the point of saturation,” said Baumgardner. "We saw no reason to burden the Board of Supervisors or the news media further," he explained, noting that petitions showing support for Moore's proposals had been presented to the BZA during hearings on the permit application. Endorsement of the amendments reflects the legislative intent of the Supervisors, according to Baumgardner. He acknowledged that there might be problems with the wording in the amendments and suggested that the Supervisors approve on Thursday just the portion allowing Alpine slides and other outdoor recreation by right in a buisness zone, leaving the part that affects conservation districts until later. Moore agreed that the conservation district amendment was irrelevant to the ski area. “The B2 amendment is the key for us," he said. “It reflects what the Supervisors intended when they voted to intervene in the law suit." He added that reference to all outdoor recreation except the gravity slide and skiing could be omitted from the amendments. Professional Funeral Service That Is Also Personalized Turner Funeral ome 106 CHESTER STREET FRONT ROYAL, VIRGINIA 22630 The area was originally zoned B2 because it was a ski area, according to Moore. “There’d be no reason for the B2 zoning without skiing," he said, describing the BZA's decision to deny that part of the special use permit application as “illogical.” “This thing has dragged on now for some ten months," Moore continued, noting that the ski area had applied for a special use permit because of the "peculiarity of being zoned B2 in a conservation district. —— The delay has cost us money," he said. "We may have lost some of our partners." Acknowledging that he might have difficulties reassembling his financing, Moore reported that he had three engagements arranged to speak with interested investors. “But I won't be able to get a commitment until you act on the B2 amendment,” he told the Board.

Mrs. Louis Hodges of By RAP OWIJNGS Agriculturr Extennion Agrnt ALFALFA—The timing of the last cutting of Alfalfa can have a definite effect on next year’s yield and the longevity of the stand. Experienced Alfalfa growers try to time the last hay cutting three to four weeks before the first killing frost. What really hurts is when Alfalfa is cut late in the season and weather conditions are favorable for the plants to make 6 or 8 inches of rapid growth and then bang—be knocked back by a hard freeze. This allows the plants to draw heavily on the food reserve in the roots but not time enough to restore them. The weakened plants are more suspectible to winter kill.

Deputy Resigns Dwayne Bentley has resigned from the position of Deputy with the Rappahannock Sheriff's Department to return to South Carolina and join the police force in Jackson which is headed by his father. The resignation was effective Monday. (Continued from Page 1) put in hours as a part-time maintenance man at the greenhouses. According to Wit, the operation will not take up as much of the time once it's established. While the tomato plants are growing, they need to be suckered. "They're most efficient when they're trained to a single stem." he said. "Also, space is at a premium here." he explained, so the tomatoes can't be allowed to grow into bushes. Grown from seed, the plants will produce fruit for at least nine months, according to Wit. "By the time they decline in productivity, they'll be 80 to 90 feet long." he said. As the plants turn into too long, tall giants, they will be lowered until the plant rests on its side. Although suckering chores will abate as the plants near maturity, other work will have to be kept up. The nutrients that are fed the plants in their root water bath must be changed every week. Then the roots need to be rinsed thoroughly with pure w ater to get rid of salts accumulation. As the salts are suspended in the rinse water, it must be thrown out and replaced with a fresh mixture of water and nutrients. The Kuneewicz's were fortunate to find the volume of water required for the greenhouse operation. Wit contracted with Larry LeHew to put in a well, and he found one that produced 150 gallons per minute. "It was purely by luck." remarked Wit. "Larry said they hardly hit one like that per year." Although the chores seem endless. Wit maintained that running their tomato greenhouses was not really hard work. "It's very pleasant inside. In the summer, it's cooler, more airy. You can get a tan in there too." The greenhouse operation is practically organic farming. According to Wit, the plants are fed pure water and the same ingredients found in Special Service The Rev. Aubrey Jackson, pastor of Little Forest Baptist Church, will be the guest speaker at the First Baptist Church at Washington on Sunday.

It s a natural approach. We’re just giving the plant what Mother Nature intended it to have,’’ Wit maintained. Although he uses an iron spray on the plants once a week to keep the leaves healthy. Wit doesn’t have to resort to chemical sprays to control pests. “Every insect that could attack a tomato plant has one phase in life that must take place in dirt. If you eliminate the soil, you cut right through the life cycle. Except for the possible stray customer who wanders in. it’s impossible to breed bugs here." he noted. The Kuncewicz’s plan to offer their tomatoes first to local groceries with the remainder going to wholesalers. They also intend to sell their tomatoes directly to the public from their farm outside Flint Hill. “But I don't know exactly how we will set it up yet." added Wit. They expect the greenhouse venture to be profitable. Their current wholesaler has two greenhouses himself and has been selling produce grown under roof for over a year so the market's already established. Although the Kuncewicz’s tomatoes are more expensive than stan dard produce during summer months, selling for 50 cents a pound while garden grown go for 20 cents, they haven’t had any difficulty selling their product.Their greenhouse tomatoes have one big advantage over garden grown. According to Wit, his fhlit will keep about 12 days without refrigeration after being picked even when fully ripe. The Kuncewicz family embarked on the greenhouse enterprise because Dorothy became disgusted with supermarket tomatoes. According to Wit, his wife is a fresh salad and raw vegetable enthusiast. “She couldn't see the point in spending a lot of money for something that tasted like paper." he explained. Also, the family travelled to Poland for a vacation. “Around each town, there was a belt of greenhouses...all privately owned,” said Wit, noting that these amateur greenhouse operators were all turning a profit. If they could do it there, he decided he could pull it off in Rappahannock. But the key to the story is taste. How does a Kuncewicz greenhouse tomato measure up against the garden grown variety? Ask County Extension Agent Rap Owings. After a bite of one of Wit’s offerings, Rap described it as "better than anything I’ve ever tasted growing in a greenhouse. It's tmm mmmmmmKmmmm delicious! I don t like the hot house tomatoes that you buy in the grocery store in cello packs in the winter. They have no flavor at all. But this is a good tomato,” he stated with fervor. Later, Owings reported that he'd taken several of Wit’s tomatoes home for a more exhaustive test. According to the Extension Agent, he and his wife sliced the greenhouse fruit along mm with some from their garden and tried to tell the difference by taste alone. They couldn’t do it.

What’s In A Name? ror a real stumper in a spelling bee contest, try this name of a lake near the Massachusetts-Connecticut line: Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagogg- gagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg. Don't bother to count the letters—there are 45. According to historical buffs in Webster. Massachusetts where the lake is located, the name was given to the body of water by the Nipmuck Indians before the Pilgrims arrived. Legend comes up with this loose translation: “You fish on your side. I fish on my side. Nobody fishes in the middle." Mercifully, the lake is now known as Webster Lake, although it also has been called Chaug Lake and Gogg Lake.

"We lived across the street from George Mason when it was just starting out as a college, and he had worked there as a sort of volunteer public relations officer. He was interested in its development, so I decided to donate the pictures to the school."

Alpine Slide (Continued from Page 5) hearing is not the Alpine slide," interjected Parson. "It's irrelevant whether it’s in or not." The question before the Board, he said, is whether to adopt the amendments and make “the entire county vulnerable to abuse." If the Supervisors want the Alpine slide, "there must be some other way to do it." he concluded. At the end of the public hearing portion of the meeting. Supervisor Eastham immediately moved that the amendments be adopted in order to "clarify the position of the majority of the Board.” Planners Request More Time Before the motion could be acted on, Luke read a memo from the Planning Commission that stated the Planners were unable to make a recommendation on the ordinances after holding a public hearing and two meetings on the issue. The Planners informed the Supervisors that they still had many questions on the amendments and requested more time for further study. None of the Supervisors commented on the Planning Commission's request. The alternative to a ski area with an Alpine slide is a 25-acre subdivision, according to Supervisor Dick Latham. If the land is put to that use. said Latham, the county would see 15 tennis courts and swimming pools pius 13 driveways instead of one pool and possibly a couple of tennis courts that the ski area would put in. “I question whether we should go with these amendments at this time," remarked Wood. "It's drug out long enough," Eastham interjected. Luke interrupted to report on a court order recently signed by Judge Penn. “I don’t see how that has anything to do with this,” objected commonwealth Attorney Davis. "I do," countered Luke, reading from an order that allowed a stay in any action involved in the current ski area litigation until “such time as the Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County has had an opportunity to hold certain public hearings and take certain actions on proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance.” The order noted that all parties were in agreement with the stay. It was signed by Baumgardner, Davis and Robert Fitzgerald, attorney for the BZA. Clarification Requested According to Luke, Penn had asked for the term “recreation" to be clarified. The Supervisor Chairman insisted that the proposed amendments, by limiting recreation to “outdoor recreation” as a use allowed by right in a conservation Reach nearly everyone in Rappahannock County with your Classified Ad.
