Virginia I’lionf f». 20c Planners Oppose Trailers By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer At the February 21 meeting of the Rappahannock Planning Commission, the planners turned down a request from Capt. George Sharp to amend the county’s zoning ordinance to allow permanent mobile homes (outside of trailer parks). Appearing at the recommendation of Commonwealth Attorney George Davis, Sharp proposed the amendment to allow for migrant worker housing during harvest season. Adequate housing, he said, is “absolutely essential” to “attract and hold experienced harvest labor.” This labor is not available locally, he added. For a small operation such as his Washington orchard, conventional housing that meets all federal requirements is too expensive, Sharp maintained. He noted that he must provide lodging with hot and cold running water, health department approved septic field, cooking and refrigeration equipment, electricity and heat. To incorporate all federal requirements in housing tftiflt “from the ground up” would cost about $10,000 for quarters for two or three laborers, according to Capt. Sharp. He assured the planners that he would locate any mobile home unobtrusively and well away from property boundaries. “The planning commission doesn’t pass the laws of the county. That’s done by the Board of Supervisors,” responded Newbill Miller. He recalled that trailers had been debated in detail in the past. "The overwhelming majority of the people were in favor of the law as it currently exists,” Miller said. (The Rappahannock Zoning Ordinance provides for the Board of Zoning Appeals to issue a temporary special' use permit for a mobile home during construction of a dwelling. In addition, Article 12A allows temporary mobile or travel trailer courts for six months for “seasonal agricultural employment” with a special use permit from the BZA. Currently, the only provision for permanent mobile homes in the zoning ordinance is through a use permit issued by the BZA for a trailer1 park or court on agriculturally zoned land.) Speaking for the entire commission, Miller stated that the planners would consider amending the zoning ordinance to allow permanent trailers only if directed to do so by the supervisors. "I don’t think there’s any sentiment on this planning commission to recommend to the supervisors that they change the law,” Miller said. Sharp responded that agricultural enterprises, particularly small operations, were caught in a “cost squeeze” and needed an alternative to costly conventional construction to provide housing for migrant workers. He charged that the administrators of the county ordinances had adopted Slope Excessive In Goode Subdivision An inspection, ot L. Goode’s proposed Flint Hill subdivision appears to support the majority opinion from the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission that Goode’s development doesit’t substantially comply with provisions of the county's subdivision ordinance. At last Wednesday’s Planning Commission meeting, chairman H. S. Barksdale reported on the results of a meeting between county engineer Fanning Baumgardner and Goode’s engineer. The two met to resolve the issue of whether a substantial portion of Goode’s 14-lot development exceeds ordinance requirements on slope. Rappahannock’s subdivision ordinance states that parcels in a five-acre subdivision without public water or sewer must be under 14 per cent slope. At the February meeting, the supervisors, acting on recommendation from the planning commission, ruled that Goode’s proposed development failed to comply with county ordinances because portions of several lots exceeded 14 per cent slope. According to the memorandum from Baumgardner, he met with Goode and Jim Harris of Ross and France LTD. Engineering firm on Monday, February 12. In the memorandum, Baumgardner noted that Harris’s measurements of slopes exceeding 14 per cent “corresponded substantially” with his own data. He added that any differences were due to Harris basing his measurements on slopes over 15 per cent. According to Baumgardner, Goode discussed several proposed com* promises Including: —elemination of one lot, —providing each lot with a nominal area of five acres or more under 14 per cent, —providing a total area under 14 per cent slope equal to the number of lots multiplied by five acres. Baumgardner reported Tree Orders Extended Due to weather conditions the past weeks, the Rappahannock Extension Office will take orders for trees until March 9th. Pink dogwoods, 24-30 inches are $4.00. White dogwoods, 24-30 inches are $2.50. Redbud, 12-18 inches, are $1.00. Ail orders must be accompanied with a check made payable to Rappahannock 4-H and sent to the Rappahannock Extension Office, P.O. Box 98, Washington, Virginia 22747 on or before March 9th. Proceeds from the sale support the Rappahannock 4-H program. For further information, please call the Rappahannock Extension Office 675-3619. that Hams s data shows six lots in strict compliance, five lots in near compliance and three lots with area from a half acre to 2.7 acres out of compliance. “Mr. Goode did not commit himself to any course of action until he contacts hts attorney,’* Baumgardner concluded in his memorandum. "I suppose they’re going to try to comply with everything we suggested,” remarked Barksdale in reference to changes in the development’s erosion and sedimentation control plan suggested by Bill Adams of the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District. The changes, including a dike to be constructed on the development's Jordan River frontage, were endorsed by Barksdale and Bob Anderson, county Soil and Water Conservation District directors. Barksdale reported that he and Anderson had approved the erosion and sedimentation control plan for Sperryville’s sewer system. He added that they’d looked over the erosion plan for the Rappahannock Ski Area’s alpine slide and proposed a couple of changes. Barksdale complimented Baumgardner on the outstanding job he’d done in drawing up erosion plans for county construction projects. “All the engineering work I’ve seen Fanning do has been competent. He’s shown very good judgement,” in(Continued on Page 8) "iron clad" positions on ’ interpretation of the law. Rappahannock’s administrators have neither shown initiative nor made any move to accommodate the needs of agriculture, according to Sharp. Allowing permanent mobile homes throughout the county would flood Rappahannock’s schools, Miller countered. The increased demand for services from the influx of new residents would require a tax hike, he noted. - “TTiat would far offset any' savings to the farmers,” said Miller. He added that hei didn’t think the county could legally restrict the use of mobile homes to just seasonal agricultural workers. "This seems a very inflexible approach, Mr, Miller,” replied Sharp. "But he has the ordinances to support him,” interjected chairman H. S. Barksdale. Miller recalled that the trailer provisions in the Rappahannock Zoning Ordinance had been a "very emotional issue” five years ago. “It still is,” Sharp insisted, reporting that a substantial segment of the county’s population was in favor of allowing permanent mobile homes. ‘‘What’s your objection to mobile homes?” he asked. “Is it the esthetics?” “The strain on the county’s tax structure,” Miller answered. Permitting trailers “would allow a large influx of people who currently don’t live here into the county.. :They’d be paying $125 to $150 in taxes (a year) and they’d put three children iic school. **}•?» .-v ■ * -t Apparently displeased with the reaction of the planning commission to his request, Sharp left the meeting without further comment. Culpeper Ordinance Culpeper County’s zoning ordinance provides for trailers as housing for farm labor. According to Mary Lou Mullins from the county planning and zoning office, the ordinance was amended in 1976 to permit trailers for bona fide farm tenants who make their living off the farm where the mobile home is located. Applications for farm trailers are referred to the planning commission for recommendation and then forwarded to the supervisors for approval. Special use permits are issued for a specified time period, generally five years. The applicant must sign a bond, usually $500, to cover removal of the trailer when it is no longer needed or when the special use permit expires, whichever comes first. The trailers are checked each year to be sure they are being used according to permit stipulations. In addition, the Culpeper ordinance requires inspection (Continued on Page2) —IhfpdMMMk Nm PW>/S.

A. Buntin announced his candidacy for re-election as sheriff on Monday. “I would like to continue to serve the people of the county. Besides that, I’ve been in this line of work for so long. It has been my life work beginning with my military service when I was an MP with the U. S. Army,” said Buntin in explaining his decision to run. He has been Sheriff of Rappahannock since defeating then incumbent John Walker Jenkins in 1975. Prior to that Buntin served in the Virginia State Police for 29 years. He said his decision to seek re-election had been influenced by the many county residents who, over the last couple of weeks, urged him to run. “I won’t be able to visit all the people in Rappahannock County as I did in the last election,” Buntin said. “I don't have the time. If I did a lot of campaigning door-todoor, it would be at the expense of my job and on the public's time." Buntin added that he would be glad to visit with any individual or group upon request to discuss county law enforcement policies and problems. Flooding Closes Roads, Schools When it rains, it pours. Rappahannock County, along with the rest of Virginia, traded snowfall for wetter precipitation last weekend as rain began on Friday night and continued on to Monday morning. The steady downfall, turning heavy at times, sent creeks climbing out of their banks, and closed county roads. Rappahannock public schools cancelled classes on Monday for the eleventh day this winter. High water flooded onto roadbeds Saturday night, subsided and then reflooded Sunday evening, according to assistant resident engineer Doug Bywaters. Route 626 at Rock Mills, Route 644 at Slate Mills, Routes 637 and 628 near Flint Hill and Route - 618 at Laurel Mills were all impassable, due to flooding, Bywaters reported. He said that erosion from run-off had caused serious damage, including a pipe washed out on Route 622 in Gid Brown Hollow and half the road undermined on Route 626 at Scrabble. "The bottoms have fallen out from 80 per cent of the dirt roads,” Bywaters said, adding that heavy highway department trucks were causing more harm than good in repair efforts. In addition to the havoc caused by blizzards and torrential rains, highway department crews are beginning to grapple with the annual road break-up caused by spring thaws. “It's still too cool to begin patching. We re just doing temporary work with a coal mix," Bywaters said. He added that permanent repairs could begin as soon as the roads dried out and temperatures stayed above freezing. Races Changed The Casanova Hunt Pointto-point races have again been rescheduled and will now be run on March 10 at Spring Hill Farm near Casanova. Del. Beard To Sneak At AF Districts Seminar A Northern Virginia region seminar focusing on agricultural and forestal districts will be held in Culpeper at Holiday Inn beginning at 10:00 a.m., March 9. The Agricultural and Forestal Districts Act, passed during the 1977 General Assembly session, is primarily a zoning law which allows landowners to voluntarily seek agricultural and forestal zoning through the creation of agricultural and forestal districts by local governments. The Northern Virginia seminar, one of six to be held in different localities throughout Virginia, was planned by a local committee and is chaired by Joe Keesee of the Fidelity American Bank, Culpeper, representing the Virginia Agribusiness Council. The seminars' statewide purpose is to help develop an understanding and interpretation of the Act while stimulating ideas to improve the Agricultural and Forestal Districts programs. VDACS Commissioner S. Mason Carbaugh will present a synopsis of the Act and its purpose, and a representative of the attorney general's office will give legal opinions of the Act’s interpretations. Delegate George P. Beard, Jr„ 25th District, will discuss the policy, concept and need Total Welfare Increase Held To 4 Percent By daphne hi mi inson Kapimhannork N. v» , S|.,|'| \\ Despite a 20 per cent increase in administrative costs attributable to a new social worker position, the total proposed welfare budget for 1979-80 holds the line against inflation with only a four per cent increase over the current year. At last Friday's meeting, the Rappahannock Welfare Board approved a budget of $181.278—an increase of $7,b22 from the $ I 73,656 total allocated in 1978 ”9. The proposed budget calls for $37,875 on local funds art increase of 5.0 per cent from this year's budget. “I'm not happy with the way this turned out." said social services director Elizabeth Buntin, referring to cuts in purchased services' required to balance the hikein administrative costs. “Direct services took more of our Title 20 money tto pas for the additional social worker) so we had less for purchased services, i had to cut it drastically." The proposed budget allocates $33,125 lor purchased services—a decrease of $16,823 from the current year’s appropriation of $49,948. Purchased services include nutrition programs for the elderly, homemaker and c.o mpanion services, protective services for children, WIN (work incentive) day care for mothers receiving aid to dependent children (ADC) payments and services to specified disabled individuals. For these programs, the Rappahannock Welfare Department contracts with outsicie a gene its ana organizations to provide assistance to welfate clients Mrs. Biintin repotted that homemaker services purchased from the Aren Agency on Aging would be provided to four clients she explained that this new program is very similar to companion services in that it is also aimed at allowing the elderly to remain in their homes and communities instead of being placed in institutions. Homemaker service supplies elderly clients who meet minimum income criteria with daily household assistance, including chores Mrs. Buntin added that homemaker service providers are directly supervised by personnel from the Area Agency on Aging. The proposed purchased services budget is based on six clients for companion services, six clients for WIN day care and 31 clients for foster care for children, according to Mrs. Buntin. lri addition, purchased services include $2,*340 to cover costs of the senior citizen nutrition program for 12 supplemental security income (SSI) recipients. (All are over 65. Mind nr disabled with maximum monthly incomes id less than $209.40. SSI recipients cannot have more than SI,>0i) in assets, excluding house and lot, home furnishings and one automobile.1 Mrs Buntin said she alloted SbOO for protective services lor children, primarily to cover counseling and thcrapv fees at the H a p p a h a n n o c k Mental Health ( i:me Purchased services also include $3,900 under payments to specified disabled individuals for one client in an^partment living program lot retarded persons In iespouse to a question Irom welfare board chairman Dick Latham. Mrs. Buntin explained that companion and nutrition services for adults and services to specified disabled individuals were not state-mandated programs. I his year, she said, the state asked local vveltarc agencies to mandate specified programs. These local mandates v.ill be the basis tot next war's Title 20 allocations, she added. "1 designated companion services, protective services lor adults and services to specified disable individuals as mandated." Mrs. Buntin said "With the percentage of aged in this county. the thrust of adult services should be t >wards the elderly, towards keeping them out of nursing homes and in the community." 20 Per Cent Increase In Assistances While the appropriation (Continued on Page 6) Heart Drive Extended The same weather that kept kids out of school for two weeks has kept participants in the Rappahannock chapter of the American Heart Association’s annual fund drive off the streets. 1 o allow time lor door-todoor collectors to raise the county's $2,000 goal, the drive has been extended until March 19.

Farm Trailers Opposed (Continued from Page 1) by the county building inspector to ensure that the trailer is hooked up properly. Ordinances also make it illegal for the power company to provide electrical service to a trailer that does not have a special use permit. According to Mullins, the trailer ordinance is rarely abused. She recalled an instance several years ago in which a landowner with eight acres applied for a trailer permit for his son, claiming that he intended to raise vegetables. Mullins said that the local VPI extension agent ruled the eight acres would qualify as a farm if the owners made SI,000 a year or more from produce sales. The only test of the Culpeper ordinance turned out to be no test at all when the applicant removed the trailer, -from the property, according to Mullins. Fauquier Ordinance Fauquier County also allows farm trailers with a special use permit issued by the Board of Supervisors. Maddox Funeral Home Serving Since 1908 105 W. Main St. Front Royal, Va.

Q)t *T REALTOR THE IMPACT OF EXTERNAL APPEAL The external appearance of your home has an important impact on potential buyers. You will never get a prospect interested unless he stops to look. Don’t rely on the inside of your home “selling" it. Your prospect may be “turned off’ before he reaches the front door. So look at the exterior with a critical eye. Give the house a fresh coat of paint if needed. Replace any broken or cracked windows. Replace loose shingles. Fix the fence. Keep the lawn mowed and the shrubs trimmed to give your house that “well-caredfor” look. Make sure your screen or storm door is in top shape and your wooden door is inviting with a fresh coat of paint or varnish. It is not uncommon to see a hundred dollars worth of improvements and some elbow grease increase the value of a house over a thousand dollars. Put yourself in the buyer’s shoes. He is looking for charm, comfort, location and a bargain. Give him the best show for the money.

Inc. *■'1 -"■» .. 1 1 1 THURSDAY, MARCH 1,1979 Special Education “Many of these kids are going to amount to nothing.” That was the reaction from one of the school board members to provisions for expansion of the county’s special education program contained in the sixyear plan for Rappahannock schools. The board members flew into a harangue against state mandates for special education at the close of Tuesdays budget meeting. Walter Masterson, Arthlinda Quaintance, Beverly Massie and Alan Stokes joined together to bemoan the lack of attention paid to “average” children. The jump in participation in special education programs from 19 students last year to 87 this year prompted the outcry. Mrs. Quaintance was particularly outraged against what she saw as a waste of money on children who would never be contributing members of society. “The plain little average child needs help. With some extra attention, they can achieve above average...They’re the ones who are going to earn their own living and support these others,” she stated, in an apparent representation of the board’s majority view. Is this the truth as the school board sees it ? Do the board members think that most of the 87 Rappahannock children in special education programs will end up as society ’s burdens? The facts are that the overwhelming majority of Rappahannock’s special education students are those same “plain little average” children the board is so concerned about ignoring. Only 17 students in the programs are classified as retarded. Realistically, some of these 17 may need public assistance later in life. But some won’t. Some will be able to support themselves, leading normal lives despite handicaps, thanks to the special education programs, mandated by the state, that seem so distasteful to the school board. The rest of the 87 special education students in the speech and learning disabilities classes have average to slightly above-average intelligence. They go to special programs a few hours a week to enable them to learn how to overcome their handicaps. For the balance of the school week, they at Burning Law in Effect VPIForage By LYT WOOD County Fort*st«*r Most residents of the county are very careful and conscientious about open-air burning. But, the sad truth is that the majority of the wildfires^ in this area are caused by debris burning. Virginia has several laws which are intended to protect the timber resources, wildlife, and rural homes and farmlands from the destruction caused by wildfires. As of March 1, the 4 Richmond Newsline A Special Report on the Virginia General Assembly of Interest to Rappahannock County From the Arundel Newspaper* Richmond Bureau LEGISLATION WHICH Sen. Nathan Miller (R-Harrisonburg) said would have save* localities millions of dollars by freezing state mandated pupil/teacher ratios has died in a House committee. The House Education Committee last week voted 16-3 to kill Miller’s proposal which woulc have halted a state mandate to lower class sizes in grades one through three to 22 by 1963. Miller, who introduced the legislation at the request of Gov. John N. Dalton, wanted to freeze the pupil/teacher ratio at 26 to one as a cost saving measure for localities. The cost to localities for reducing class sizes in the early grades by steps through 1963 has been estimated at $20.9 million statewide. t o’clock burning law will be in effect. This law states that no open burning can be done within 300 feet of woodlands (or any material capable of spreading a fire to woodlands) except between the hours of 4:00 p.m. and 12:00 midnight. The law applies to burning from March 1 through May 15. State Forest Wardens, the County Sheriff, and other officials do not have the authority to issue permits allowing burning which takes exception to the law. March 1 to May 15 is normally the most fire-prone period due to the dead, dry fuel which has accumulated over the winter. Additionally, spring is often characterized by extended dry periods and gusty winds. Please note that the 4 o’clock law applies to all open burning, regardless of weather conditions, conditions. Some of the other important Virginia fire laws are listed below. These are in effect the year round. 1. Any time that a fire is built in the open air within 150 feet of woodlands (or any other material capable of spreading a fire), the fire must be totally extinguished before it is left untended. 2. All reasonable care and precaution must be taken prior to any open burning. 3. Any time a fire escapes into woodlands or brushlands as a result of carelessness, negligence, or intention, the person responsible for the fire will be liable for the expenses of suppressing the fire. While these state laws may seem complicated, they are purposeful. The vast majority of forest fires are caused by man. In fairness to all, and for the protection of our resources, we must enforce the fire laws. Conference March 8 The Northern Virginia Forage Conference will be held Thursday, March 8, beginning at 9 a.m. at the Middleburg Community Center.

The forage conference is sponsored by the VPI extension service in cooperation with the Virginia Forage and Grassland Council. ++++ I fear uniformity. You cannot manufacture great men any more than you can manufacture gold. I tend regular classes with “normal” students. The parents of many of these students see their children going on to college instead of on the welfare roles. Unlike some school board members, they don’t expect their offspring to grow up and require support from their “average” classmates. Certainly, the jump in participation from 19 to 87 in one year looks alarming. But these kids haven’t been dug out of the woodwork to fill the seats in the special programs instituted this year. They’ve been in Rappahannock schools all along—just tucked away neatly into folders. Before full-time learning disabled and speech teachers were hired this year, the schools got away with meeting only the letter of the law on state mandates for special education. “Every child who had been diagnosed as having a problem is in a special program,” was the stock response to any criticism. The key word was “diagnosed.” With a psychologist visiting the schools only two days per month, the backlog of teacher referrals for testing and placement was staggering. Even now, with the services of a half-time diagnostician, the demand for testing continues to outstrip the time available for testing. It s true that the schools are being ordered to shoulder some responsibilities that could be handled better through social services or public health. Providing physical therapy for twoyear-olds, for instance, shouldn’t be the province of the schools. But teaching a child how to cope with a reading impairment is a long way from physical therapy. If the school board’s resistance to special education mandates is directed towards being forced to provide therapy programs for physically handicapped students and pre-schoolers, then that resistance has been misstated. On the other hand, maybe concern for the poor average student is justified. After all, as one school board observer put it, “State and federal mandates take care of the geniuses and the kids at the bottom of the scale. The ones in the middle are left to the mercy of the board.” —Rappahannock New* Photo/Sarah Latham Our Rappahannock Heritage Welfare Buderet (Continued from Page 1) for purchased services is down substantially in the proposed 1979-80 budget, the amount alloted for assistances—$56,312—is up by almost 20 per cent over the $47,403 in the current budget. The biggest increase comes in aid to dependent children-foster care payments with a jump from $7,970 to $18,600. However, no local money is spent in this category. Mrs. Buntin said that the proposed amount also reflects costs of institutional care for one child. She noted that the $80,040 total cost of aid to dependent children is not shown in the proposed budget since all ADC money is either state or federal. Mrs. Buntin allowed $2,400 in state and federal funds and $300 in local funds for manual checks to ADC clients who need money right away or whose regular checks have been lost. She emphasized that all local money spent in this category is reimbursed. The allocation for state and local matching payments to the aged is down from $9,274 in 1978-79 to $6,178 in the proposed budget. Mrs. Buntin said she allowed f^r three clients in this category with an average monthly payment of $171.60 per client. Matching state and local payments to the disabled show an increase of $2,162—from $1,956 to $4,118—in the proposed budget. Mrs. Buntin estimated two clients at $171.60 apiece per month but noted that the per capita charge could vary. She explained that clients for this service are allowed to keep $25 per month of personal income. The rest goes toward the bill from the institution to which they’ve been committed. Any unpaid balance on the institution bill is paid by a supplemental grant to the disabled but only up to the rate ceiling set by the local welfare board. Since the Rappahannock Welfare Department currently has no cliehts for assistance to the blind, Mrs. Buntin reported that she’d included nothing in this category in the proposed budget. She added that funds could be transferred from assistances to the aged or disabled, should the need arise. Mrs. Buntin included $3,024 in general relief, a decrease of $1,103. She said the drop was justified by Church Service The Flint Hill Methodist Church will hold Sunday School at 10 a.m. and church service at 11:15 in the Flint Hill fire hall on Sunday, March 4. The change in location is due to a malfunctioning furnace in the church. The Little Fox JJ* »—■mmmm recent adoption of a new local general relief plan that narrows the program considerably. According to Mrs. Buntin, the amount budgeted for state and local foster care payments — $21,192—is based on ten cases with a 15 per cent increase suggested by the state. Mrs. Buntin noted that, while the total proposed welfare budget is up almost $8,000, the local share has increased by only $2,024 over the current year. ADC Caseload Decreasing “How do the (number of welfare) recipients compare?” asked Latham. “The case load is way down in ADC (aid to dependent children),” Mrs. Buntin answered. “There’s right much turnover (in case load) too,” added food stamp worker Nancy Reeve. “Did they die or did they get dependent on themselves?” Carter White asked. “They got dependent on themselves,” Mrs. Reeve replied, adding that eligibility worker Juanita Miko was “an excellent counselor” and successful in helping clients off public assistance. Mrs. Buntin reported that she’d allowed for 97 persons, including mothers and children, under ADC in the proposed budget. “Last year, 1 allowed for 123 so it’s coming steadily down,” she concluded. Noting that the four per cent increase in total welfare cost was well below the predicted inflation rate for the coming fiscal year, the Welfare board members voted unanimously to approve the proposed budget, forwarding it to the board of supervisors for the required local funding. 1979 DAR GOOD CITIZENS AWARDS have been given, left to right, Steven Dru Corbeille of Fauquier; Karen Murray, Rappahannock; Kathryn Winkler, Culpeper and Robert L.

The first program will start following a covered dish supper at 6:15 Speaker will be Dr. Arie Bestebreurtje, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Charlottesville. Born in Rotterdam Holland, he received his education in a number of European countries, specializing in International Relations and law in which he holds a Doctors Degree from the University of Zurich in Switzerland. After a year of German occupation of his native land, he escaped in 1941 to England. Dr. Bestebreurtje was commissioned by the Royal Military College in Aldershot, England and served consequently with British Infantry and Commando Units. After volunteering in iw to serve with Allied Special Forces, an organization of undercover agents which operated in Europe during the Nazi occupation, he participated in 1944 and 1945 in three parachute missions, one of which was with the 82nd U.S. Airborne Division. He played an instrumental role in the capture of the Nijmegen Bridge in Holland and in the liberation of the concentration camp in which Otto Frank, | father of Anne Frank, famous for her diary, was held. He was wounded on several occasions and has received the highest military decorations from four governments—among which are the Williams Order of the Netherlands, an award held by only two other Americans, Dwight D. Eisenhower and the late Franklin D. Roosevelt; the Order of the British Empire and three other British decorations; the French Croix de Guerre, and the American Legion of Merit, Officer’s Degree; and two Purple Hearts. After the war Dr. Bestebreurtje came to the United States where his parents lived, and practiced law in New York City. In 1952 he felt called to the ministry and graduated from Union Theological Seminary in New York City. He was ordained in the United Presbyterian Church, U.S.A. and served two churches in the New York area before going to Louisville, Kentucky. Under his leadership, a mission church of less than a hundred members, the Calvin Presbyterian Church, grew to be the largest of his denomination in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. For his many accomplishments there in both the eccumenical and social fields, he was awarded two degrees of Doctor of Divinity.
