Rappahannock News, October 12, 1978

‘Rosewood” Open For House Tour 1 he House Tour and Dried Flower Sale scheduled this year for Saturday and Sunday, October 21 and 22. is the twenty-second annual such event sponsored by the Episcopal Churchwomen of Bromfteld Parish. The tour headquarters and flower salesroom will be at the Trinity Church parish hall in Washington, Va. Hours for the tour and flower sale are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and from 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Three homes, three churches, the Rappahannock Library and Rappahannock Historical Society building will all be open to the public for the two days. An unusual feature of the event is an exhibit of paintings from The Phelps Collection, including at least ten paintings by the famous American artist, Andrew Wyeth, and members of his family. One of the eight homes and buildings featured will be “Rosewood” on the Old Hollow road near Sperryville, supposedly the oldest building in Rappahannock. It was built in 1735 when this area of the country was a vast mountain wilderness, and the home of the Mannahoack Indian Nation, whose trails were the only roads. An English interpretation of this Indian name would be "they were very merry”; however, they were said, by historians, to have been cohtinuously at war with the Massawomec Nation to the west of the Shenandoah Valley. “Rosewood” was built by what must have been a courageous family named Thomson, who erected what is now the three-story west wing of the house. In 1776, a family named Bragg purchased the property and added the east wing of the structure. They resided there until 1951 when it was purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Estes, who made extensive restoration and added the tall white columns on the front porch, enhancing the 18th Century charm of the dignified, old home. The present owners of A LARGE KITCHEN AND DINING AREA have been added to Rosewood, home of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Labovitz of Sperryville which will be open for the House Tour and Flower Sale on Saturday and Sunday, October 21 and 22. Mrs. Labovitz is pictured in the new addition, a large kitchen and casual dining area. “Rosewood”, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Labovitz, bought the property in 1972 and have continued the careful restoration process with a genuine respect for the character and design of the original house. A two-story addition was completed in 1977 containing a gem of a country kitchen 13 by 26 feet, featuring a large, open fireplace complete with handmade iron cooking spit, hangers and pots, and of course, a rocking chair. The floor is an old brick design, and at one end of the room is a “talkin' corner”, now used for casual dining. All modem cooking conveniences have been tastefully blended into the Early American design. The working end of the kitchen includes a long and unusual curved counter which was once used in a small country store in Washington. The remainder of the first floor, in the old section of the house, contains a parlor with the original fireplace and mantel, a music room that does service as a family sitting room, and large formal dining room, all furnished with antiques. Mrs. Labovitz's studio in the house and Mr. Labovitz's office in a separate building may also be seen. Tea will be served both days at "Rosewood." Other homes open are "Hopperland". the bachelor quarters of A. K. Davis located in Harris Hollow, and "Stoneledge", home of Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Mank in Tiger Valley, both near Washington. The F. T. Valley Baptist Church, celebrating the bicentennial of the congregation, will be open, as well as the Mt. Salem Baptist Church which is undergoing restoration. Trinity Church at Washington, sponsoring the tour, will be open, also, along with the Historical Society building and county library where the art exhibit may be viewed. Included in the art exhibit will be works in various mediums of oil. charcoal, pen and ink. and water color.

At last Thursday's Board nceting. Chairman E. P. Luke informed the rest of the Supervisors that the State Fire Marshal wanted a plan for a second exit from the upstairs courtroom within 60 days. In a November 1977 letter to the Board, the Fire Marshal offered several fire safety improvement suggestions but cited only the court house for an actual fire code violation. Drug Policy Changed By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON KappaKonnorii Vw» Siaff I rilrr Apparently in response to recent drug problems at the high school and the elementary school, the Rappahannock School Board adopted revisions at Tuesday’s meeting for policy dealing with the possession, sale and distribution of illegal drugs. By unanimous vote, the Board members granted school principals and their “designated representatives” the authority to search persons, lockers and classrooms should they suspect students of illegal drug possession. The policy change came just a night after the Board dealt with two student discipline matters involving drugs. Superintendent William Bloomer confirmed that the Board voted in a special executive meeting held Monday night to suspend two elementary students and two students at the high school for the remainder of the year as a result of two separate drugrelated incidents. “The Board feels that to ensure the safety of all the students, we need to make our policy a little clearer,” stated Board Chairman Beverly Massie. The School Board declined to have the policy read in its entirety at Tuesday’s meeting. Dr. Bloomer, however, said that the former policy left investigation, questioning, search and confiscation to law enforcement personnel. The major revision in the new policy, he explained, gives principals the prerogative to search lockers and students before they call in law enforcement officials. “This will strengthen the school’s position,” Bloomer maintained. He noted that policy had prevented school officials from making drug searches previously although such searches are and have All Star Revue Saturday The Annual Rappahannock All Star Revue will be presented on Saturday, October 14, in the elementary school auditorium beginning at 7 p.m. The show features local talent ranging from a violin performance to a comedy dance routine. Performers include high school students DeeDee Grant. Sharon Settle, Steve Dennis and Judy Bloomer in a vocal number; Bob Coles accompanied by Michael Krueger on autoharp; Steve Righter on guitar and Vincent Day on guitar with bass back-up. Also scheduled are a dramatic dance routine, children’s act and a rock 'n' roll revival number featuring the Rappahannock Women’s Chorus with the new Motown sound of the “Extremes.” Sweet treats, cider and other apple goodies will be available during intermission in the four-hour performance. All proceeds benefit the Sursum Corda School and Day Care Center. “Last year's show was an outstanding success.” said Sursum Corda director Camille Harris. "We hope this year’s effort will even surpass it." Grant Approved The Rappahannock Sheriffs Department has received approval from the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration for a grant of $2,925 for police communications and investigation equipment. The county Supervisors authorized the grant application that will cover the cost of two radios—one on the new frequency used by the Virginia State Police and the second on the frequency used by Sheriffs Departments. been legal under state and federal statutes. In conducting a search, said Bloomer, the principal must have reasonable cause to suspect drug possession. He emphasized that the policy change would not allow school authorities to conduct random searches. In addition, he said, the principal must inform the student who is the object of the search that anything found can and will be used against the student. Law enforcement officials, said Bloomer, will have to secure the data to go to court on a drug violation charge with the principal probably subpeonaed as a witness. In assuring the audience that searches by school personnel are within the law. Bloomer (Continued on Page 2) Luke asked the Board members if they wanted to "deface the building" by putting in a door and an outside fire escape or instead consult an architect to see if it's feasible to cut through a front jury room for an inside front stairway and exit. ‘‘Tell them we’ve got a bunch of ropes," interjected Supervisor H. B. Wood, only partly in jest. Luke explained that a stairway and exit couldn't be located in the back of the court house since the furnace w as situated in the rear of the building. The fire escape, said Luke, has to be opposite the heat site in order to meet state fire code regulations. At the suggestion of Supervisor Butch Eastham, Luke agreed to first check with county engineer Fanning Baumgardner on design alternatives before contacting architect Averv Faulkner. Supervisor Wood asked if a fire escape that could be lowered when needed would be an alternative acceptable under the fire code. "How about a rope ladder?" he suggested again. Luke replied that there are people required to be in the upstairs courtroom who aren't capable of easily going up or down a rope ladder. "If it's on tire, they sure could," countered Wood. The Board agreed that the second exit required to correct the court house fire code violation should not deface the front of the building and authorized Luke to investigate other measures. No mention was made of the safety suggestions in the Fire Marshal’s November 1977 letter. At that time, the Fire Marshal cited the need for: — Installation of an automatic fire protection sprinkler system in the furnace room directly under the interior stairway. — adjustments in the furnace system for the lock(Continued on Page 8) Highway Work Progressing A portion of the Virginia Department of Highway's construction project for double-laning Route 211 will be completed soon. According to the Department’s recently released report on arterial construction, 3.1 miles of parallel roadway in the Amissville area will be usable by spring, 1979. Supervisors Defend Amendments By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Happahannork VnsSufMlritrr Rejecting protests from the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, the county Board of Supervisors agreed at a meeting last Thursday to make no changes in recently adopted amendments to the Rappahannock Zoning Ordinance. Jim Marshall, vicepresident of RLEP, presented the Supervisors with a letter from Allen H. Olson, a Warrenton Environmental attorney retained by the League. Olson expressed RLEP's concern over amendments adopted September 7 that change the county’s former conservation zoning district to a conservation-recreation district with ‘'outdoor recreation, including but not limited to skiing, swimming pools, tennis courts and gravity slides” permitted as uses by right. A new section was also added to the zoning or pr*rp 'PUE' Dr 4 m\ir< tl -nainwwnoci iifw. rnou>/uapniM nMcttBMfl Obi 1HL ntADlNG HABIT!

We want to encourage reading and owning books,” she said. dinance which provides that regulations for conservationrecreation districts shall "apply in any other district to lands in excess of 14 per cent slope located therein." In addition. amendments adopted on September 7 allow the same outdoor recreation uses by right in business districts as well as in conservation-recreation areas. (The amendments were proposed in August by Rappahannock Ski Corporation attorney Douglas Baumgardner and Commonwealth Attorney George Davis as a means of resolving litigation between the Ski Area. Board of Supervisors and Board of Zoning Appeals. The suit began when the BZA denied a special use permit application from the Ski Area for year-round recreational operations including skiing, swimming, tennis and installation of a snowless gravity slide.) According to Olson, the effect of the September 7 amendments will "allow the development as a matter of right of commercial outdoor recreational facilities virtually anywhere in the county where slopes are greater than 14 per cent...Consequently, steep slope areas of the county could also be used as a matter of right for many other types of commercial outdoor recreational facilities such as amusement parks, theme parks and automobile racing tracks." Contradictory Amendments In the letter, Olson maintained that the zoning ordinance amendments passed by the Board are "in direct contradiction to other sections of the ordinance," specifically objectives listed in the general statement of purpose and intent: (6) to protect against overcrowding of land, undue density of population in relation to the community facilities existing or planned, obstruction of light and air, danger of congestion in travel and transportation or loss of life, health or property from fire, flood, panic or other danger; (7) to ensure protection of the natural environment of Rappahannock County and its ecology through the control and abatement of pollution in the water, air and soil of the County: (9) to protect against encroachment and destruction of the unique scenic vistas of Rap pahannock County for the benefit of the general public; (10) to conserve properties and their values and to encourage the most ap propriate use of land throughout the county; and (11) to protect the land against the destructive forces of nature and man. Further, contended Olson, the new ordinance amendments conflict with Article 1-3 that stipulates no land use shall be permitted in any district that... (8) conflicts with the natural environment ot Rappahannock County and its ecology: (9) exceeds the land capability or soil suitability; (10) contributes to the destructive forces of nature and man; (11) would be detrimental to the public welfare; and (12) would not be in accord with the provisions of this ordinance and the plan of use and development embodied herein... Olson noted that the statement of intent lor conservation districts in force before the amendments were adopted also clearly indicates (Continued on Page 2) Bicentennial The F.T.

Fluoride Added To School Drinking Water By DAI’HNK. HITCH INSON Ha|>|»ahanno«-k Vv*» Staff ^ filer The Rappahannock School Board gave unanimous approval at Tuesday’s meeting to institute a pilot program financed by the National Institute of Health that will add floride to the drinking water at the elementary and high schools.

The aim of the project, said Elmore, is to evaluate the effectiveness of floride added to school drinking water for students in grades kindergarten through twelfth as compared to the effectiveness of floride-treated water for grades kindergarten through sixth and kindergarten through eighth. The project involving Rappahannock students in grades kindergarten through twelfth has been funded for 12 years, and includes a design study, floridation equipment, three dental examiners ail'd an investigator, he said. According to Elmore, the school system's only responsibility will be to take water samples twice a week for checks on floride levels—one sample to be checked at the school and the second sent to Richmond. Dr. Joseph Doherty, also from the National Institute of Health, told the Board members that similar programs have been operating in other localities—125 in North Carolina and 150 in Kentucky—with virtually no parental objections. "It's not a new system at all." he said, noting that floride has been added to drinking water supplies since 1946. He assured the Board that there was absolutely no danger of any side effects From the floride. The only care that needs to be taken in conjunction with the program is to advise parents to discontinue giving supplemental floride to their children during the school year. However, Doherty noted, topical applications of floride directly to the teeth by dentists could continue. “This project is one way of reducing tooth decay by 40 per cent through only drinking water,” said Doherty. He added that the grant would also pay for any added project instituted to encourage children to drink water at school once the floridation equipment is installed. After the project is under way, he continued, dental examiners will check the children’s teeth every three years. He noted that the floride added to school water would not protect baby teeth and wasn't as effective in combating tooth decay as floride added to the community water supply. However, he did note that floride tooth paste could only be expected to reduce cavities by 10 to 20 per cent while the pilot project for the county’s public schools would reduce the incidence of decay in Rappahannock school children by 40 per cent. + + + + The loud-speaker public address system was first used in 191.3 bv the governor of Oklahoma. Supervisors Say Ordinance Changes Will Stay (Continued from Page 1) that “a major objective of the Rappahannock County Zoning Ordinance has been and remains the protection and preservation of the natural environment of the county, and particularly its mountainous areas." Olson also maintained that the Supervisors acted hastily in approving the amendments without giving the Planning Commission adequate time to review and make a recommendation. State law, he noted, allows the Commission a 90 day study period in which to advise the Supervisors. In action on the amendments in question, the Planners—at the direction of the Board—held a public hearing August 31 on the proposed amendments. The Supervisors voted on the amendments on September 7 without a Planning Commission recommendation despite a request from the Planners for more study time. In conclusion, Olson stated that the failure of the Supervisors to repeal the amendments “will make Rappahannock County vulnerable to unplanned recreational development with severe environmental consequences;; and, on behalf of RLEP, he urged the Board to reconsider the amendments as early as possible. He asked for the Board's decision by its November meeting “so that, if necessary, RLEP can consider alternative action." Recreation Always Allowed By Right “The only comment I have to make is I don’t agree with it.” Commonwealth Attorney George Davis announced after Supervisor Chairman E. P. Luke finished reading Olson's letter. “I don’t agree with it either.” Luke remarked. “Recreation in all its aspects was a use by right" in conservation districts prior to the September 7 ordinance amendments, said Luke. No one from RLEP came before the Board previously to warn the Supervisors that they had “opened Pandora's box," he added. "It looks to me like this is an attempt to drag this thing out for another three months," said Supervisor Butch Eastham. When the Board of Zoning Appeals denied the Rap Drug Policy Changed (C'« Mil inued from Pane I) noted that law enforcement officials are required to have a warrant before conducting a search while school officials are not. "This will give us more impetus in the schools to prevent drugs from coming in.” Bloomer concluded.

Mrs. Baines asked if a teacher designated by the principal to conduct a search could refuse should the teacher have doubts about the legality of the proceeding. Bloomer answered that any individual who has qualms about participating could just tell the principal that he or she didn't want to be involved. Although Mrs. Massie had indicated that the new policy would be read after its adoption, the Board immediately moved on to other business after the unanimous vote to approve the drug policy changes. Later in the meeting, Mrs. Baines criticized the School Board’s adoption of the new drug policy without input trom teacher. I eachers, she said, should have been asked for suggestion and comment since teachers are concerned with the drug problem in the schools and have a more direct relationship with students than any other school personnel.

Panorama Realty Sperryville, Virginia 987-8640 pahannock Ski Area’s snow skiing privileges during considerations of the Ski Area’s special use permit application, recalled Luke, nobody besides a few individuals and an editorial in the Rappahannock News protested that "property rights were being taken away.” Supervisor Dick Latham interjected that RLEP had made "right much of a switch around” after being neutral on the issue of the Ski Area's proposals for an Alpine slide and other support activities at the Harris Hollow site. Lott Credibility Luke noted that RLEP President Phil Irwin had first appeared before the Planning Commission on behalf of his organization in support of the Ski Area's plans and then came back a few days later opposed to those same plans. “As far as I’m concerned,” said the Supervisor Chairman, “their credibility went right down the tube.” (In December 1977, RLEP’s Board of Directors passed a resolution approving the concept of a year-round recreational facility with a snowless Alpine slide in Harris Hollow. On January 16, the Board passed a second resolution rescinding its original approval and adopting instead a neutral position.) Supervisor Clarence Baldwin interjected that the Planning Commission had been allowed “plenty of time" to discuss any questions pertaining to the Ski Area since corporation president James Moore first applied for a special use permit last December. Speaking from the audience. RLEP member Werner Krebser emphasized that the environmental organization was not opposing the Ski Area but was instead "attacking the amendment that opens the county as a whole." Noting that the letter from Olson made no mention of either the Ski Area or the Alpine slide, Krebser maintained that it was unfair of the Supervisors to view RLEP’s concerns as an attack on the Ski Area “when we're really opposed, not to the Ski Area, but to opening up the county." Krebser pointed out that the Ski Area’s right to continue skiing had lapsed when the activity, considered a non-conforming use under the county zoning ordinance, had been discontinued for more than a year. Once the use was interrupted, the Ski Area had to go before the BZA for a special use permit to resume the winter sport at Harris Hollow, according to Krebser. He recalled that opponents to granting the special use permit for the gravity slide had suggested that Moore apply just for skiing. “Nobody was opposed to that.” he said. Krebser added that it was Moore’s decision to include skiing along with the Alpine slide on the permit application and therefore not the BZA’s fault that skiing was denied with the other requested uses. The BZA can omit or add anything it desires in acting on a special use permit, Luke responded, and so could have granted skiing without including any other rights. “The BZA was confused on what they were voting on anyway,” he added. Luke continued that the new amendments are more restrictive than any former regulations applying to the conservation district. He repeated that recreation had been a use allowed by right in a conservation district before adoption of ordinance amendments on September 7. Krebser protested that the term recreation, still hadn't been defined in the Rappahannock Zoning Ordinance, despite a request from the Circuit Court judge. (Judge Carlton Penn, at a pre-trial conference « in Leesburg on litigation involving the Ski Area, BZA and Board of Supervisors, had asked for "recreation” to be clarified. This request, according to Luke, was part of the reason for adoption of the “clarifying” amendments.) Luke, joined by the rest of the Supervisors, countered that the addition of “outdoor” to recreation both restricted and clarified the term. In addition, he said that all requirements in Article XIII of the zoning ordinance have to be met by any proposed outdoor recreation use, even though outdoor recreation is allowed by right. The Supervisors then voted unanimously to reject RLEP’s request that they reconsider the ordinance amendments, as Luke folded RLEP’s letter and handed the envelope back to Marshall. (Delegate George Beard, Rappahannock's representative in the Virginia General Assembly's House of Delegates, requested an opinion from Attorney General Marshall Coleman on September 13 regarding the legality of the Board of Supervisor's acting on ordinance amendments without a recommendation from the Planning Commission. Beard reported that he’d received a letter from Coleman dated September 28 stating that the Attorney General's staff was currently researching the issue.)

He Crawls For God And Country By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer Hans Mullikin is spending the week touring Rappahannock but much of the county's lovely autumn scenery will be wasted on him. Mullikin spends most of his time on his hands and knees, crawling along Rappahannock’s roads as part of his effort to dramatize what he sees as the need for prayer and greater reliance on God on the part of this country. Mullikin, a logger and lay minister in the Southern Baptist church, began his pilgrimage two years ago in Marshall, Texas. He started crawling in March, 1976, heading for Washington, D.C. He made it to Radford last November before abandoning the trek for the winter and didn’t resume his crawl over the mountains until August. “I hope to make D.C. before the cold weather sets in." said Mullikin. If everything goes according to plan, he'll be met by his Congressional representative at the Capital in about six weeks. Mullikin said he'd also like the opportunity to shake hands with President Carter but added that he knew the President was a busy man and might not have the time. During his crawl across country, Mullikin said he’d been subjected to only a little harassment. He had problems in Rappahannock—not with verbal taunts or sticks and stones but with sight-seeing traffic on the highway. “I’m sure glad to get to this two-lane,” he said as he dropped the shafts to his cart and paused for a moment at the beginning of double-laned Route 211. Mullikin wears shorts and a white tee-shirt with the number one and the letters S.O.N. across the front. S.O.N. stands for “Save Our Nation,” the theme of his crawl campaign. According to Mullikin, the number also signifies that “There’s only one way and that’s God's way." It seems reasonable to expect Hans Mullikin’s knees to be covered with thick, horny calluses. Instead, they’re just a little pink, no worse for the wear than a housewife’s dishpan hands. Mullikin has protected his knees over the long crawl with a layer of sheepskin and about six inches of leatherbacked padding. The padding apparatus and the cart that he tows along the highway are his own original design. After all, it’s hard to walk into a store and expect to find equipment on the shelves for crawling across the country! The shafts of the cart are attached to a rod with wheels at both ends. Mullikin slips between the shafts and, on his padded knees with his hands on the bar, pushes the cart along. It has a little American flag flying at the rear and is decorated with signatures of well wishers *7 9 Chevrolet 4-wheel drive PICKUPS AND Cheyenne Blazers In stock now for immediate delivery Best Selection In The Valley Jack Evans CHEVROLET-CADILLAC.,125 S ROYAL AVE .

The two main ones are: The house must have been used as the taxpayer's principal residence for five of the eight years preceding the sale. The adjusted sales price of the house must be $35,000 or less. If you sold for more than $35,000. you can still avoid tax on the gain attributable to the first $35,000 of the sales proceeds.

So far, his 1,600 mile trip has taken almost 18 months with time out for the winter. As part of his routine, he drives a pickup truck loaded with supplies to his destination for the day and then turns around to hitch-hike back to the point where he begins his crawl. Most of the time, said Mullikin, he spends the night with people he meets along the way, although he occasionally sleeps in a motel. In Rappahannock, he stayed the weekend with the Thomas Taylor family of Sperryville. As passers by stop to stare and talk, Mullikin hands out flyers that ask folks to devote at least one hour daily to “fervent prayer” with the aim of ‘‘lifting up” President Carter, Congress and the nation as a whole so the United States “will truly be a nation under God.” Chitterling Dinner A chicken, chitterling and pig feet dinner to benefit the Promised Land Baptist Church birthday rally will be held at the home of Catherine Carter and Walter Freeman Saturday, Oct. 14, beginning at 4 p.m. TT . , _ _ T _ __ __ — Rappahannock IVtw Photo/Daptint Hutchinann HANS MULLIKIN IS CRAWLING across Rappahannock County this week as part of a crusade that has taken him—on his knees—1,600 miles from Marshall, Texas, towards his goal in Washington, D.

OCTOBER 12, 1978 Still A Hot Subject At this time last year, we were congratulating the Rappahannock Supervisors for their decision to install fire extinguishers at the courthouse just in time for National Fire Prevention week. We appear to have jumped the gun. This year, in time for the two weeks from October 9 to 24 set aside for attention to fire safety, the Supervisors have received a letter from the state Fire Marshal. The Marshal gave the Board 30 days to come up with a plan for a second upstairs exit from the courthouse. Lack of an escape way besides the steps that nm over the furnace room constitutes a violation ot state fire regulations—a fact the Supervisors have been aware of since last November when they were notified by the Fire Marshal. In a letter accompanying notice of the violations, the Marshal also suggested that the Supervisors take other steps to improve fire safety, including the installation of fire extinguishers in all the buildings of the courthouse complex. Are these the same fire extinguishers that the Supervisors resolved to install in October, 1977? The same fire extinguishers that are still not in evidence today ? Good intentions aren’t enough. It can’t be that expensive to buy a couple of fire extinguishers. Even in Rappahannock’s notoriously tight budget, there’s room for this concession to concern for the public safety. The Supervisors would do well to pay more than lip service to the advice of Fire Departments in Rappahannock and around the country—remove hazards, make escape plans and above all, be prepared. At a very minimum, preparation includes fire extinguishers in public buildings. Robinson Cited For Antispending WASHINGTON. D. C. —Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson (Va.-7) las received the “Watchdog if the Treasury" Award from Mational Associated 3usinessmen, Inc.. (NAB). Congressman Robinson qualified to receive NAB's ^old bulldog symbolizing the Watchdog'' Award by voting 100 per cent of the lime to reduce wasteful government spending during the 95th Congress. In special ceremonies honoring Rep. Robinson on Capitol Hill. NAB Chairman Arthur Roth said. “The people of the State of Virginia are extremely fortunate to be represented in Washington by a legislator whose concern with the inflationary impact of excessive government spending is so clearly reflected in his voting record." NAB has been rating Members of the House and Senate on their votes for fiscal responsibility since 1964, Roth said. The “Watchdog of the Treasury" Deer Limit Changes For the tirst time nunters in Virginia will be allowed to bag as many as three deer in certain counties this fall. Another less publicized change in the regulations allows the big game license tabs to be used out of sequence (No. 3 first, etc.) but only in counties where the season bag limit does not exceed the number of the tag. Thus the number one tab is required only for deer taken in counties with a one deer limit. In a three deer area it would oe logical io use me No. 3 tab first and save the others for areas with a more restrictive limit. "We hope confusion will be minimal." said Game Commission Law Enforcement Ch'ef John McLaughlin. "The biggest problem may be that hunters who use them in the traditional 1. 2. 3 fashion will feel cheated at not being able to hunt in many counties as the season progresses." he added. Award is presented each Congressional session to those Members who vote at least two-thirds of the time for economy in government. "We are a nonpartisan organization.” he continued. "We believe the importance of balancing the federal budget and stopping inflation in the United States transcends party affiliation and that eliminating unnecessary federal spending is a crucial step toward achieving these goals."

SS Recipients Report Changes People who receive social security checks have important responsibilities to report events which may affect their monthly benefits. Bruce A. Hundley, social security manager in Culpeper, said recently. Failure to report certain events may mean that a needed check will not arrive on time. Or. failure could mean that person will be overpaid and will have to pay back money that should not have been received Hundley said that every person eligible for benefits receives a copy of the booklet Your social security rights ind responsibilities' which iells what should be reported. It would be a good idea for beneficiaries to review the booklet from time to time. It could prevent a mistake, Hundley said Everyone receiving retirement or survivor benefits should report: Change of mailing address; Earnings of more than S4.000 in 1978 if over age 65; earnings of more than S3,240 if under age 65; If the person goes outside the United States. Dependents and survivors should also report: Divorce or annulment, marriage, adoption of a child, child leaves care of wife, widow or widower, child nearing 18 is full-time student or is disabled, change in school attendance for student age 18-22 Someone should report on behalf of a person who becomes unable to manage funds or should a person die. People getting benefits because of disability should also report: A significant improvement in condition; a return to work; the person leaves the hospital in which he or she was a patient when application was made; the person applies for or there is a change in workers' compensation benefits. More detailed information about reporting responsibilities can be obtained at the Culpeper social security office. located at 522 Culpeper Shopping Center. The telephone number is 825-3500. 911 Emergency Meeting Called A discussion of the establishment and projected cost of the 911 emergency telephone system will be presented Oct 16 at 7 p.m. in the Northern Piedmont Electric Cooperative auditorium on Rt. 29 south of Culpeper. C 6c P Telephone Company representatives Jim Crawford and Robert Eagle will describe the system which can facilitate the dispatching of emergency services such as fire, police or rescue squad to the person in need. Where the system exists a person need only dial 911 to be connected with the emergency agency for the area. The program is jointly sponsored by the Rappahannock Rapidan Emergency Medical Services Council. the Northern Piedmont Electric Cooperative and the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District commission (PD-9) While the 911 system has not yet been implemented in any part of PD-9, this presentation will provide insights into the possibility of its installation in the future. The newly formed Kappahannock-Rapidan Emergency Medical Services Council is dedicated to the exploration of methods and ideas that can contribute to increasing the efficiency of emergency medical services in the five-county area encompassing Fauquier, Rappahannock, Culpeper, Orange and Madison. The council needs ideas from residents in its area to realize thi* goal, and invites all to attend the information meeting. Further details on the proposal may be obtained from Gary Rosson. field coordinator, at 825-6140. k Our Rappahannock Heritage Nominations Open For ASCS Committeemen Farmers are asked to nominate candidates of their choice to be on the ASC community committee ballot, says T. R. Taylor, chairperson of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) committee. The ASC community committee election will be conducted from Nov. 24 to Dec. 4 by mail ballot. The ASC communities in Rappahannock county are South, jj Central and North. | ASC committees are I responsible for managing I government farm programs 5 on the local level. To meet I the needs of in■ dividual producers. ASC | committee members must be * concerned and responsible | individuals, Taylor said. (Rappahannock county farmers have the opportunity to nominate persons they feel * would best serve the farm | community. Farmers have received petition forms by mail and are now submitting them to the county ASCS office. A few basic considerations should be kept in mind when circulating petitions. In order to be valid, petitions must be limited to one nominee each, must include written cerItification that the nominee is willing to serve if elected, must be signed by at least three eligible farm voters in the ASC community, and must be received in the county ASCS office no later than Oct. 30. A fanner may circulate or sign nominating petitions for as many candidates as he chooses. Anyone wishing to nominate a farmer for the ASC committee election may contact the county ASCS office for full details, including eligibility requirements for officeholders. Farmer nominations of candidates for the upcoming ASC committee election are very important. Farmers should petition for and elect those individuals they feel would do a good job as ASC committeemen. The election of concerned farmers to positions on ASC committees is necessary for good administration of farm programs. Taylor further explained that the county ASCS office welcomes all valid petitions. The opportunity to nominate, vote, and be elected to office is guaranteed to all fanners regardless of race, religion, sex, color, or national origin. —Letters To The Editor Share Fundings To the editor: I am writing to you about our Fire Department and Rescue Squad in Washington. Virginia. I was astonished and greatly surprised last week when I was asked to go over the whole program of training, funding, and service involved in maintaining and operating the two most valuable services available to us in our emergencies—namely when fires destroy our property, and-or when we are suddenly in need of ambulance service for sickness or accident. Let me share some of these findings with you. 1. There are only 19 active members manning the Fire and Rescue service for our District. 12 of these have been certified by the Slate Fire School Training Program. 13 carry qualifying First Aid Cards. Seven ot these First aid members have finished Emergency Medical Technician's Program. 2. They reported having spent 700 hours in specialized training in the last year—approximately 2(XK) man-hours last year on Fire and Rescue calls. 3. None of these 19 volunteers—who took their training at their own expense, often using their own cars and gas for answering emergency calls—received any financial payments whatsoever. 4. Members purchase their own clothing, shoes and protective gear, as well as their electronic communication equipment. 5. Now let us look at the overall cost of equipment and operating expenses, a. Fire truck - $35,000 to $45,000; b Necessary equipment $10,000 to $12,000; e. Ambulance cost - $22,000 to $25,000; d New fire house - which will provide needed protection and improve fund raising potential - $50,000 - much free labor and material' already have been con tributed; e. Average Fire oi Rescue Call costs - $100.00 f. Replacement costs to damaged equipment in fires and rains not estimated. 6. The next year's expense to operate an efficient service is estimated to be $25,000.00 Where will this monev come from, and how will it be raised? These same 19 dedicated people, in my view, need the full support of every household in the District. They not only provide professional service in fire and rescue work, but also hear the brunt of providing the funds. This volunteer group take the added responsibility of funding the whole operation. The only outside help is $500 from the Town of Washington and $240 from the county for emergency phone service. A few- regular donors contribute a small amount. 1 think all this should tell us something. If we have an accident or serious illness, our ambulance can respond within minutes with at least one first aid volunteer and one emergency medical technician. If w-e have a tire the department can be there in a few minutes with protective equipment. We can ask how much is a life worth? How much does a tire destroy? Do you know that our insurance rates are lower when we have adequate fire protection? 1 ask myself how valuable is the tire and rescue service is to Washington and vicinity, and how valuable to me as a property holder? Shouldn't all of us take a hard look at the values, and make up our minds if we are fair to these 19 wonderful, dedicated people who take our problems in emergency very seriously. How can we take the fund raising burden off them, and free them for better service. Let not the next siren call be for you. Respond to the budget needs as soon as you can as best you can. I expect to do my part. WILLIAM M. CARRIGAN Avon Hall. Washington, Va. Fund Drive To the editor: The Chester Gap Volunteer Fire Department announces a fund drive to raise money for a muchneeded new Fire Hall roof. After many years of usage and deterioration, the present old flat roof was damaged by the ice storm last spring. making a replacement imperative before another winter. A new A-frame or gabletype roof is now planned, for which a goal of $3,500 is set. In addition to donations, which it is hoped will be forthcoming, two community projects are scheduled to assist in this worthy effort: 1) On the weekend of November 4 and 5 the firemen will be having a photographer at the fire hall. For $5 you can have an 8 x 10 family portrait in color. You will need to purchase a coupon in advance for this portrait. You may do so by calling Hubert Gilkey. President of the Fire Department, at 635-5472 or Bradley Williams at Williams' Store at 635-2627. The pictures will be back before Christmas, and will make wonderful gifts. 2) Also planned for this fall is the making of apple butter. Everyone’s help will be needed in preparing the apples. Dates for peeling will be posted at Williams' Store. Your support is urgently needed as these projects develop if we are to reach our goal. HUBERT GILKEY President Chester Gap Volunteer Fire Department Title I To the editor: The letter of complaint written by a parent to HEW concerning the Title 1 program was unfair. As parents of a child in one of the programs, we would like to make a few positive statements. The program that we are affiliated with has been extremely beneficial to our child. We have been in the classroom and have firsthand information on his progress and the files have been volunteered for our inspection. The teacher has been more than generous with her time in explaining the program. The important thing is the child is happy, well-adjusted and has a normal school environment which includes the normal integration with his peers in his other classes. He is also achieving significantly in the program. The writer of the letter is only speaking negatively for herself or himself as we are speaking positively for ourselves. One unhappy experience does not mean that the total program is bad. MARY and BYRON SCHUMAKER Flint Hill Title I Praised To the editor: I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate this newspaper on the thorough and objective reporting of the Title 1 issue. I would also like to commend Dr. Bloomer and Mr. McDaniel for their objectivity in reporting the facts on the progress and lack of progress: progress in the labs offered to grades 4-7, lack of progress in classrooms 1 and 2. " It was my experience that even though I called this fact to the attention of the former Title 1 superintendent, the response was vague indifference. Therefore, 1 think it should be clarified that most of the complaints are in fact regarding the primary "Open Court Classroom Title I program. The reported level of achievement speaks for itself. Most of the parents I am acquainted with who had children in this program had little or no knowledge of what sort of program Title I was expected to render or what to do about the fact that our children were failing. Therefore, like myself, in the beginning I did not know my complaint was one regarding Title I. Most parents did not know they were supposed to be consulted regarding their child's need or lack of need to be placed in or to be a participant in a Title, program. Parents are to be kept informed as to the child's progress. I was told almost two years ago that my child would spend three years accomplishing two. How can anyone premeditate a childs development? How strange that seems now since test scores heretofore concealed revealed him considerably above grade level in January of his first year. Title I regulations stipulate "only for the most needy.” A child should be six months or more behind his peers. I wonder how all the other parents feel about the fact that their child is having to repeat the second grade and so are most of his classmates from last year. A democracy can only be good and function properly when the people are truly represented by their leaders. It follows then that any worthwhile school program should fulfill the needs of the children to be taught and not the children fulfill the needs of the school programs. K. JOAN ST. CLAIR Amissville Centel Rates Increase Central T elephone Company of Virginia has announced an increase in local service rates in Front Royal and Shenandoah .‘Tective with November bills. The typical residential customer with one-party service may expect an increase of 66 cents per month. The typical business customer with one-party service may expect an increase of $1.48 per month. The new rates result from growth in the number of telephones customers can call in the Shenandoah and Front Royal areas, according to David A. Bohmer, Centel General Regulatory Manager. Bohmer explained that rate groups are based on the total number of telephones that can be called without long distance charges. "When an exchange exceeds the maximum number of telephones in its rate group by five per cent, it is reclassified to the next higher rate group,” he said. Correction The pound price of the steer sold in Maryland, as reported from the Angus herd of Ray T. Cannon of Castleton should have been $2.00 instead of as published last week. The sum was incorrectly reported to this newspaper. The Little Fox Will I LI SI \ vdfc A \ \W\

Fire Violation Cited Again— (Continued from Page 1) up to allow more air for proper combustion, —installation of a smoke detector system in the lockup. —installation of fire extinguishers in all the buildings in the court house complex. The Supervisors addressed the combustion problem in the jail furnace earlier in the meeting. Luke reported an estimate of $776 from Lantz Construction Company to build a fire wall to correct the incomplete combustion. He also relayed a price from lantz of $1,000 for a new concrete sidewalk to run in Iront of the new clerk's office to the existing walk and between the court house and the new building to connect with the rear parking lot. The vote to authorize both work projects was unanimous. However. Supervisor Wixrd protested against the numerous items that have been added to the contract with Lantz since it a as originally approved. ‘‘Professionals should have taken care of all these details...Walks go along with buildings," ^e said. No Extra Trash Pick-up The Supervisors agreed to abandon plans for a third weekly trash pick-up at dumpster sites in Huntly, Scrabble and Amissville. The added expenditure would be justifiable, said Wood, if it would solve the county’s problems with trash thrown on the ground instead of in the dumpsters. He maintained that full dumpsters weren't causing the litter mess, noting that he’s visited the Scrabble dumpster on Monday and found trash on the ground with the container only an eighth full. Even with an extra pick-up. “we're still going to have to pick-up off the ground." he concluded. Recreational Authority The Board voted unanimously to advertise a public hearing on creation of a countv recreational facilities authority at the November 2 Supervisor meeting. Douglas Baumgardner, representing the Rappahannock County Recreation Association, noted that the 6.5 acre Recreation Center on Route 211 was currently administered by the Recreation Association. He explained that lack of ties to local government blocked opportunities for federal and state grant money for improvements at the Center. If the Authority was created, he said, this new body could apply for federal funding. He emphasized that the Supervisors' only responsibility would be to appoint members to the Authority. "So you will have that amount of control," he told the Board. Baumgardner stressed that the Authority would have its own revenue raising capabilities and wouldn’t require appropriations from the general fund. He said the Authority, if created, would reapply for the grant that had been previously denied the Association, and said that he'd been told the Authority’s chances would be better than the odds on the Recreation Association getting federal money. Rexonlng Delayed The Supervisor’s public hearing on rezoning 165 acres in Ian Pryde's Blue Rock Farm large lot subdivision was unusually quiet with no one speaking either for or against the proposal. Action on the rezoning was postponed until the November 2 Board meeting after Pryde and attorney Douglas Baumgardner couldn't come up with a final plat that showed all five lots involved in the rezoning. In other action, the Board approved payment of $910 for the Rappahannock Sheriffs Department’s liability insurance. Sheriff W. A. Buntin reported that the State Compensation Board had indicated it would reconsider contributing more than $500 towards the total of $1,015. He said he’d sent figures on the Department’s total insurance bill and Luke agreed to also write to the Compensation Board. The Supervisors approved a starting salary of $6,300 for John Mannion, the new corrections officer for the county. Buntin told the Board that the former jailor had started at $6,000 but was making $6,300 when he left so the budget for the current year includes $6,300 for the corrections officer. According to the Sheriff, planks on the jail porch and steps have rotted out and the building needs new gutters and repainting. ‘‘There’s work there that desperately needs to be done,” he said, adding that "someone could fall on the steps and create a problem." Luke told the Sheriff he could contract for repairs up to $500, the amount in the current budget for jail maintenance. The Supervisor Chairman said he would contact County Engineer Fanning Baumgardner and take action on further maintenance projects at the November meeting. Prior to approval of accounts, the Supervisors went into executive session for approximately a half hour to discuss personel matters, litigation and land acquisition. ‘Rosewood’ Highlights House Tour (Continued from Page 1) himself will be on display, as will be one by his son, James, three by his sister, Henriette, and the rest by his brother Fire- Rescue October 3, Gaylord Butler was taken to Culpeper Memorial Hospital from his home in Sperryville by the Sperryville Rescue Squad.
