Snead granted a request from Commonwealth Attorney George Davis to withdraw as counset for the county in the case of C. L. Goode versus the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors. Goode has two suits currently before the court in an attempt to gain approval for a 14-lot, five acre subdivision near Flint Hill. Rezoning for the development was denied by the supervisors in August, 1977. More recently, at their March, 1979, board meeting, the supervisors reaffirmed their position that Goode’s subdivision doesn’t comply substantially with zoning ordinance provisions on slope. In the request to withdraw as counsel, Davis cited his “irreconcilable conflict’’ with the supervisors over “substantive law and procedural law” pertaining to the Goode case. He also stated that he couldn’t “in good conscience carry out the directions of the board of supervisors.” Board Has 3 Hr. Closed Session Afer a delay waiting for a quorum, the Rappahannock School Board zipped through a short open meeting on Tuesday night, disposing of all business in little over a half hour. Then, at 8:30, the board retired to executive session for over three hours to discuss the old Scrabble school, personnel and discipline cases. Only board members Beverly Massie, Arthlinda Quaintance and Allan Stokes attended the meeting. Chairman Massie announced that Walter Masterson was out of town and Paul Nichols absent due to illness. During the open session, the board approved purchase of two new school buses at $15,513 a piece as part of the regular bus replacement cycle. Superintendent William Bloomer informed the board that purchase now would ensure delivery by mid-June. He added that the Resurfacing Contract Let A $1,837,995 contract has been awarded by the State Highway and Transportation Commission to Whitehurst Paving Co., Inc., Richmond, for resurfacing about 661 miles of highway in the Culpeper District. About 2.2 million gallons of bituminous material and 76,740 tons of cover stone will be used. Six resurfacing projects totalling 18.54 miles are planned for Rappahannock County. Projects include: —Route 622 from Route 628 to Route 625 (2.7 miles) —Route 622 from Route 211 to Route 614 (2 miles) —Route 626 from Route 618 to Route 522 (4.5 miles) —Route 626 from Route 211 to Route 627 (2.99 miles) —Route 647 from Route 522 to the Fauquier County line (4.15 miles) —Route 729 from the Culpeper County line (2.2 miles) The resurfacing is a part of the annual statewide program that includes resurfacing more than 5,300 miles of highway at a cost of almost $15 million. current price on buses is approximately $1,000 over last year’s cost. The board also approved use of school buses by the Rappahannock Recreational Authority to transport runners for the six-mile Fodderstack Run, scheduled for April 21. The board first expressed reservations on granting the Rec Authority's request on grounds that it would set a precedent for other community groups to use school buses. Dr. Bloomer reported that regular use of buses by nonschool groups would raise insurance premiums. He added, however, that spasmodic use of buses by community groups would have, no effect on insurance premiums, according to the insurance company. “The difficulty I have is wanting to assist community organizations. At the same time, I don’t want to jeopardize our insurance rates,” Bloomer said, adding that the insurance company wouldn’t state before hand what consituted more than spasmodic use. Attorney Douglas Baumgardner, chairman of the Rec Authority, assured the board that allowing the Authority to use school buses wouldn’t set a precedent for other community groups since the Rec Authority, created by the board of supervisors by ordinance, was an arm of the county. “We’re one arm of the county requesting another arm of the county, the school board, (Continued on Page 2) Cancer Film The Rappahannock Unit of the American Cancer will present a film on uterine cancer Saturday, March 17, at 2 p.m. in Trinity Episcopal Church parish hall.

Kits for cancer fund drive volunteers will be distributed on Saturday following the film. (In a February 1, 1979, memorandum to the board, Davis maintained that Goode’s proposed subdivision substantially complied with Rappahannock’s “Comprehensive Land Use Plan” as embodied in both the zoning ordinance and soil, erosion and sedimentation ordinance. With the memorandum, Davis included (1) a resolution granting approval for Goode’s development and (2) a zoning ordinance amendment rezoning the property involved from agriculture and conservation to residential subdivision. The supervisors, however, declined to adopt either the resolution or amendment.) At Monday’s hearing, Claude Compton, attorney for Goode, said he had no objection to Davis’s withdrawal. He added that he hoped the action wouldn't substantially delay the case. “It’s been going on for over two years,” he noted. “It can’t help but delay the decision,” Judge Snead responded. He pointed out that Compton had supported a motion to continue the case when it was last before the court. After hearing from supervisor chairman E. P. Luke that he had no authority to employ counsel to replace Davis without approval from the rest of the board, Snead gave the supervisors until April 5 to hire a new lawyer. He set, a pretrial conference on the Goode case for Wednesday, May 2, at 9 a.m. "What is the situation as it stands now?” Snead asked Compton.

A -p.j >-.n ■ - AF District Act May Save F armlands By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock N«*ws Staff U ritcr Rural counties faced with development pressures are seeing increased interest in farm land preservation programs as 1980 creeps closer—the year when all Virginia localities will go to 100 per cent fair market value assessment for real estate taxes. At last Friday's seminar in Culpeper on Agricultural and Forestal Districts, about 150 farmers, local government representatives and interested citizens listened to authorities explain the workings of one tool designed to protect farm land. In explaining the purpose of the AF Districts Act, assistant commissioner of agriculture Graham Copeland noted that 200.000 acres of agricultural and forestal land are lost annually in Virginia. Approximately 80,000 of thos.e acres qualify as “good productive land." he said. “We have two tools to deal with the preservation of agriculture—we use value taxation and the Agricultural and Forestal Districts Act.” Copeland said. Both can help combat the “dangerous new trends (of) large lot zoning and leap frog development,” he contended. The general public has a lack of understanding as to the “strong importance" of agriculture to state and local economies, Copeland continued. He called for "more positive action" towards preserving agriculture at the state, local and individual levels, re-emphasizing that creation of AF Districts is “a (Continued on Page2) Hdme Robbers Sent To Pen For 20 Years iverry i-ee Morgan, Kenneth Lee Armstrong and William Franklin Chandler Jr., were each sentenced to 20 years in the penitentiary on charges of grand larceny by Circuit Court Judge Rayner V. Snead last Monday. The three pleaded guilty to breaking and entering the Amissville residences of, Brenda and Charles Hilt and« Nancy and Farrell Nicholas last April. Guns and a stereo worth approximately $1,774 were taken from the Nicholas home. No exact figure has been attached to property, including a reloading press for ammunition and two cameras, taken from the Hitts. According to presentence reports submitted on Monday, 18-year-old Kerry Lee Morgan has a lengthy prior record as a juvenjle, including convictions for petty larceny, vandalism, breaking and entering and grand larceny. Recently convicted of a series of burglaries in Stafford, Morgan is already under sentence of 70 years in prison. Commonwealth Attorney George Davis asked for the maximum sentence on Morgan, stating that he “operated in a predatory pack preying on the public” with no respect for property or constitutional rights. Morgan’s attorney Maurice Biddle requested that Judge Snead set any sentence to run concurrently with the time his client already must serve. Noting that Morgan had pleaded guilty and saved the county the expense of a jury trial, Biddle stated that his client had already received the equivalent of a life sentence for statutory Sight, Hearing Screening The Rappahanock Lions Club is sponsoring a preliminary screening for sight and hearing problems including glaucoma. This is open to the public and schools and is free. They also plan to offer blood pressure checks. The sight and hearing van will be at Rappahannock Elementary School from Monday until Thursday, March 19-22 ahd on Friday, March 23 at the local high school. Saturday the unit will be at the parking lot of Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington from 10 a.m. until S p.m. After school hours on Tuesday and Wednesday, the 20th and 21st beginning at 3:30 at the elementary school the sight and hearing van will be open to the public. burglary. “That strikes me as pretty hard. He should have some hope,” said Biddle on asking for concurrent sentencing. The presentence report on Kenneth Lee Armstrong, 21, showed only a minor conviction as a juvenile for operating a motor vehicle without a license. As an , adult, however, Armstrong has been sentenced to 54 years for a series of robberies in Stafford and Spotsylvania and awaits sentencing for similar offenses in King George County. Attorney Douglas Baumgardner noted that Armstrong had no prior record except for traffic violations until the defendant became involved in the string of burglaries that included the offenses in Amissville. He maintained that domestic turbulence in Armstrong’s home environment had a bearing on his criminal actions. In asking for two sentences to run concurrently with sentences in other jurisdictions. Commonwealth Attorney Davis said he could see no justification for leniency on the basis of Armstrong’s record. The presentence report on William Franklin Chandler, 23, showed convictions for the same string of burglaries committed by the other two defendants. Under a sentence of 64 years total in the penitentiary, Chandler had been found guilty of breaking and entering and grand larceny in Madison, breaking and entering and grand larceny in King George, Simpson Convicted; Goes To State Prison James siewart Mmpson was sentenced to 20 years in the penitentiary by Rappahannock Circuit Court Judge Rayner V. Snead on Monday for his part in a robbery of Mr. Jefferson’s Store in Sperryville last April. Simpson, 47 years old from Boston, Virginia, was convicted of robbing the store of $250 with a firearm. The Sperryville robbery preceeded robberies and murders at Mitchells in Culpeper County and True Blue in Orange County the following day. Simpson and David P. Thompson have been charged in all three incidents. On Monday, probation officer Dean Hahn recommended against probation for Simpson, citing a lengthy prior record including numerous traffic convictions and convictions on assault and battery arising from domestic altercations. In addition, Hahn noted that Simpson is awaiting sentencing in Culpeper for firstdegree murder and robbery. Judge Vance M. Fry found Simpson guilty of murdering T. E. “Buck” McMullan at a trial held in January. * Commonwealth Attorney George Davis described Simpson's record as “one of a life of crime” with serious charges and convictions. “1 have great hesitancy in recommending less than the maximum punishment,” said Davis. „ ■ Robert A. Niles, attorney for Simpson, argued that there was no evidence his client ever used a firearm in the Sperryville robbery. He maintained that the string of robberies Simson is charged with were actions “out of character” for a man who had “never before evinced conduct of this type.” Noting that Simpson was yet to be sentenced for the first-degree murder charge in Culpeper, Niles said his client still had the right of appeal. “The conviction can be overturned,” he added in arguing that Judge Snead shouldn’t consider the Culpeper case in arriving at a sentence for the Rappahannock robbery. “Technically," said Niles, the robbery of the Sperryville store “is his first conviction." With little comment, Snead sentenced Simpson to 20 years. Vehicle Stolen A vehicle belonging to the Rappahannock County School System was stolen from the school bus garage parking lot located on Route 211 west of Washington last Wednesday night, March 7. The keys were also taken from several of the school busses parked there and from a bus parked at Sperryville Barber Shop. A vehicle belonging to Miss Ruth Blackwell in Jenkins Hollow was tampered with, according to investigating officer Trooper R. A. Baines. The vehicle, a 1972 Ford station wagon, was discovered the following day in Jenkins Hollow, near ISperryville, with serious damage to the under carriage and is presumed to be a total loss. Evidence indicates that the vandalism was done by a school student or students, said Baines. conspiracy to commit murder, grand larceny, statutory burglary and burglary in Stafford. Chandler's presentence report showed no convictions as either an adult or a juvenile except for minor traffic violations. In addition, Chandler had also received an excellent report from his former employers. Answering a question from Chandler's attorney Lee Albrecht, probation officer Dean Hahn explained that he had recommended against JOSEPH J. SCHERSCHEL, Co-Director of Photography for National Geographic since 1072. will give the first showing of his new Australia Slide Program, free for all Rappahannock residents, at the Library in Washington on Thursday.

Use Of Restricted Pesticides Requires Certification Regulations governing restricted use pesticides became effective in late fall at retail outlets. “Such regulations, made by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mean that the materials are for retail sale to and application by only certified applicators or persons under their direct supervision,” Norman E. Lau, Virginia Tech Extension specialist in chemicals, drugs and pesticides, said. The EPA action applies to formulations of 23 active ingredients of pesticides. However, hundreds of pesticide products are in • V.W.

As with a car when winter approaches, a family must change “treads” when the family emotional climate is stormy. Individual family members have to rise to the challenge of storm elouds by shifting emotional gears and approaching with caution and respect the icy patch on the family’s journey through life. Because the family (like the perceptive car operator) was in tune with the climate, often a potential family crisis can be avoided by using communication skills. For an alert driver, an unusual knocking sound under the hood is a signal that something isn’t working properly. Constant arguing in a family signals the same danger. Arguments can create more heat than light and short circuit the family’s communication system. Just as little grease on ball bearings of a wheel eases friction and saves wear, so the salve of patience and understanding can ease tensions and save wear and tear on the family’s emotional system. A distraught young lady called frantically for a mechanic when her car wouldn’t start one sunny morning. She didn’t know what the problem was - just that turning the key in the ignition wouldn’t get the car going. When the mechanic arrived he lifted the hood, checked the cables to the battery, tightened them, found that the distributor cap had condensation which needed to be dried off and finally, discovered that the young lady didn’t have the key inserted in the ignition in a way which would allow the key to turn properly. Just as this young lady’s car wouldn’t start - much less run - because there were several parts not working properly, so a family isn’t himself, doesn’t have, the right to be in society,”said Hahn. *» ’ ““ Albrecht claimed his client could be distinguished from the other defendants because Chandler had no prior record and an excellent report from his former employers. “He was a contributing member of society,” said Albrecht, requesting Judge Snead to suspend a portion of Chandler's sentence. Davis countered that he didn’t understand the request for leniency since Chandler had been gainfully employed and had chosen to resort to crime when he could support himself within the law. In sentencing all three defendants to 20 years apiece with the time to run concurrently with sentences from other jurisdictions, Snead volved. Active ingredients of 14 additional pesticides currently are being proposed for restricted use. Restricted-use pesticides are available only to certified applicators who have earned their credentials by attending a training school or self-study course, by passing an appropriate examination and for commercial applicators, complying with other requirements. An identification card is issued to each applicator complying with the above. Private applicators —primarily farmers and ranchers—who apply restricted-use pesticides as producers of an agricultural commodity become eligible for certification by attending an eight-hour training class conducted by the local staff of the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service, or hv selfstudy and passing an going to run smoothly if family members are not functioning in a manner acceptable to the family as a whole.

Commercial applicators, who apply pesticides for a fee, and public operators, who apply pesticides for a city, county, state or federal government agency, have been trained or provided selfstudy materials by the Extension Service and have passed appropriate examinations administered by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer services. Lau said about 20,000 private and 4,500 commercial applicators have been certified in Virginia.

AF Districts are essentially “voluntary zoning” set up through agreement between local government and property owners, Copeland said. “It is not a tax law,” he stressed. The AF Districts Act, passed by the 1977 General Assembly, allows one or more landowners with a minimum of 500 contiguous acres to apply to local government for approval of a district. The application is referred to a special advisory committee and to the planning commission for recommendations. Then it is returned to the supervisors for public hearing and approval or denial. Property within an approved AF District is granted Washington to the starting line in Flint Hill, provided school insurance rates weren’t affected. In other action, the board: —denied a request for a variance in payment policy from two teachers, —approved additions to the Title I Advisory Committee, —approved use of the elementary school by the Amissville Ruritans for a talent show and by the VPI extension office for seating and safety classes, —approved a spring activity bus for high school athletes, —approved use of one Rappahannock school bus to transport 25 Piedmont students to Hampton for the state VICA competition.

Districts are created for four to eight years at the option of local government and are reviewed at the conclusion of this period. Participating landowners must prove hardship before being allowed to withdraw prior to review date. Any real estate withdrawn from the district is subject to a rollback tax. Tax Questions While the Agricultural and Forestal Districts Act may not be a tax law, it has raised questions related to taxation. John Purcell, lawyer from the Attorney General's office. During executive session, the board also approved additions to the list of substitutes for the elementary and high schools and acted on discipline cases and a request for placement testing, according to Mrs. Massie. reported on tnree opinions regarding AF Districts handed down by the Attorney General. All involve taxation. Before going into the Attorney General’s opinions, Purcell s»id it was first necessary to understand that use value taxation and AF Districts are exceptions to the general rules of the Virginia Constitution. He noted that the constitution states that “all taxes...shall be uniform upon the same class of subjects.” Traditionally, property has been divided into two classes: public land and private land. Establishment of use value taxation, Purcell explained, added four additional classes: horticultural, agricultural, forestal and open space. He added that recognition of the four types of property as separate classes has yet to be tested in court. Under state law, a locality may allow deferred taxes on horticultural, agricultural, forestal and open space land if it determines that such action is in the public interest and if the locality sets limits and standards for considering property for in(Continued on Page 7) Property (PlfrrtnyB . . .tucked away by the sidb of a hilt this creatively designed cedar home with bright rooms, glass framer'^\ews. private balconies and of entreatin9 space awaits C|^J^gection. 10 private acres, pasture, .oods, and stream further compliment this unusual home. $130,000. >. .. .18 acres with tumbling mountain stream, rock walls, views, park boundary, strong springs, woods and pasture with 5 rooms and bath weekend home in need of your imagination. $55,000.

Outstanding Educator ivnss raaoei ti. Holmes has travelled a long way since she left her native Rappahannock many years ago, and has just been named the Outstanding Alumna in Education for 1978 in the school system of Elizabeth, N. J. 1 Mabel was born and reared in Smedley Hollow in* Rappahannock, the daughter of the late Richard and Mildred Holmes and granddaughter of the late Robert and Alice Beckwith of Smedley. Helping children to become good, useful and happy men and women has been the credo for Mable throughout her career spanning 42Vi years in the Elizabeth school system. They were years of labor, study and quiet achievement, during which her firm, but gentle discipline, her warmth and kindness influenced the lives of two generations of pupils and teachers alike. According to the citation, Mable is a woman who won the esteem of her superiors, the loyalty of her subordinates, the love of countless children and the respect of the community. She spent 28 years as a teacher in the Continental School 3 and continued her service for 14Va years as principal. During MISS MABEL G. HOLMES her teaching career, she trained 20 student teachers from Newark and Trenton Teachers Colleges. In addition to her educational endeavors, Mabel served the City of Elizabeth as a member of the Housing Committee and the Board of Education. The library at School 1 was dedicated to her and named the Mabel G. Holmes Library. At the dedication, she was described by the city’s mayor as “a fine woman and a distinguished public servant, first as a teacher, next as a principal and finally as a member of the school board.” Miss Holmes is a cousin of Mrs. Alice Porter of Washington and of Charlie C. Lewis, Sperryville. She was graduated from Battin High School, Newark Normal School and New York University where she received her Master’s Degree. Reward Offered To Curb Bear Killing A $1,000 reward is being offered by the Virignia Wildlife Federation for information leading to the arrest and conviction of any person illegally killing a bear in Virginia. This includes bears killed out of season, by use of spotlights or in excess of the bag limit or in any other illegal way. Many sportsmen within the 16,000 members of the Virignia Wildlife Federation who hunt bear felt that such an inducement was necessary to protect the bear from unscrupulous hunters and to assure its survival.

Then your first thought will, no doubt, be advertising it. You may start by planting a “For Sale By Owner” sign in your front lawn. But will this be seen by enough - or any - prospective buyers? Then - newspaper advertising. This can become more costly and less effective than you | think if done improperly. It could even lead to overexposure of the house to the point where, if you should decide later to consult a Realtor, good prospects already will have seen the property and, having failed to buy, will be harder to interest a second time.

Rainchecks Not The Answer To Understocked Specials Today’s skyrocketing prices make shopping specials a must for consumers who want to keep grocery costs down. Understocking of those specials, however, often results in shortages which mean losses for shoppers, said Virginia Tech Extension specialist in consumer education, Glen H. Mitchell. When shortages of advertised sale items occur, most major grocery stores offer “rainchecks” allowing shoppers to purchase the items at sale prices when they are back in stock. “Rainchecks are not required by law but are offered as a courtesy to customers," Mitchell said. They are not a solution to the problem, though, because many consumers shop only once a week and plan their menus around advertised specials. „c. Shoppers may not be going to the store tomorrow, and they may not need the item next week,” he said. “As far as consumers are concerned, rainchecks are not a substitute for adequate stocking of sale items. Consumers often have spent • their time and the cost of running their auto.” Federal Trade Commission (FTC) rules require that stores stock advertised items in quantities sufficient to meet reasonable anticipated demand in each store covered by the ad during the sale period. The items, the rule says, must be conspicuously and readily available for sale at prices at or below those advertised. The FTC has successfully taken legal action against nine food chains for violations of the rule since it was promulgated in 1971. Though .shortages of sale items are widespread, few consumers seem to know what to do about them. If a sale item was unavailable, 32 per cent of these questioned said they would inform the nearest store clerk, 25 per cent that they would ask for a raincheck, and 20 per cent that they would tell the checkout cashier of the problem. Only 4 per cent indicated they would complain to the store manager and none that sal cEstate % ■MMM HAlTAt ^ VERTISING The basic reason for advertising is to attract interested prospects who are ready, willing, and financially able to buy.

Diane Bruci Clerl they would contact a consumer protection agency. When consumers encounter shortages, they should obtain rainchecks and also complain to the store managers, suggested Mitchell. ‘‘Stores may have legitimate explanations for understocking," he says. In cases of unexpected demand or breakdowns in the physical distribution systems, the managers should be able to make the necessary adjustments. If the situation recurs, shoppers should point it out to the manager, and if it seems chronic, file complaints with the FTC and state and local consumer protection agencies.

THURSDAY, MARCH 15,1979 foreign Investment In farm Land Here—Some See Threat By JOHN EISENHARD Arundel Newspapers Writer First Of A Series In 1976, in Scott District in Fauquier County, Va., an 858-acre horse and cattle farm which dated from, the 18th Century was sold for $1,950,000. The buyer—a Brazilian. In 1978, a 1374-acre estate and cattle farm near The Plains, Va., was sold for $2,410,000. The buyer—a Belgian. In 1976, a 301-acre estate near Waterford in Loudoun County, Va., was acquired for $770,000 by a Washington, D.C., corporation. The corporation is actually a group of Austrian investors. The investment in U.S. land and businesses by foreign firms and individuals is nothing new.. Forty years ago, in 1939, a Belgian, Count Guy de Biellet-Latour, "acting for an undisclosed principal,” bought 2,140-acre Fairfield, an estate and farm at Hume, Va. (Fairfield is now owned by Willard Stores Inc., a Marriott corporation.) Not much imagination is needed to ascribe a reason for the Belgian count's investment 40 years ago. Europe was on the brink of a devastating war. A sheep and cattle farm in the Blue Ridge foothills of Virginia was a sanctuary. In the 1970 s, the U.S. is again a sanctuary, tor foreign investors' money. While * Americans worry about energy dislocations, inflation, unbalanced budgets, foreign investors nevertheless apparently are convinced the US offers, as Newsweek magazine reported, the “world's safest haven for money.” And while the anxious American motorist watches the prices on the gasoline pump, the European businessman still views the US economy as the strongest in the world. So strong that sometimes unconfirmed reports of extensive foreign investment in American farmland have worried some native farmers and politicians. So strong that Congress last year enacted a law requiring foreign owners of farmland here to report such ownership to the US Department of Agriculture. The federal law requires foreign owners to register their holdings with the agriculture department by Aug. 6. Those who buy farmland from now on must report the transaction within 90 days. All ownersnip snares or five per cent or more must be reported, as well as all ownership of one acre or more on which the annual income gross is at least $1,000. The regulations are not intended to include household garden plots. The law provides civil penalties of up to 25 per cent of the value of the land for failure to disclose foreign ownership. Rep. Thomas S. Foley, the chairman of the House agriculture committee, said the law should not be construed as a form of federal control on who can own land. He said it is jusit a means to help Congress find out whether indeed foreign citizens are “buying up alarming amounts of US farmland.” Foley’s disclaimer and President Jimmy Carter’s assertion when he signed the bill last Oct. 14—that foreign ownership of farmland here is still very small—apparently did not allay widespread fears. The President too emphasized only that the government “needs more information” and that some US farmers are concerned about foreign investors 1 driving up prices. Congressional and Presidential assurances apparently have not quieted the fears of some state legislators. Over objections that there is an adequate federal law, Prince William Del. David Brickley got his colleagues in the House of Delegates three weeks ago to adopt a measure 58-38 to require foreigners to declare their land holdings. The state Senate has since concurred. In urging passage of the Virginia law, Brickley said 25 other states require such registration, and that Kansas had prohibited land purchases by foreign investors outright. Newsweek magazine last November said 29 states had limited foreign farm ownership to some extent. Mississippi and Minnesota, the magazine reported, had banned all foreign buyers, Iowa and Wisconsin hold them to 640 acres. Last year the extension Service at the request of Congress conducted a nationwide search of courthouse records in every rural county in the nation to determine the exact extent of foreigners’ purchase of land. The surveyors looked for land transfers of 100 acres or more over an 18-month period, from Jan. 1, 1977 to June 30, 1978. When the results of the survey were announced in January, politicians—and reporters—interpreted the figures in a wide variety of ways ranging from fear of disaster to welcome of opportunity, to evaluation of the activity in land acquisition as insignificant. And the figures themselves, as quoted, didn’t always match. In Washington, Rep. J. Kenneth Robinson (R-7th District, Va.) noted that a US Senate committee had released a report showing that 17,100 acres of Virginia farmland had been bought by foreign investors during the 18 months. Robinson said that placed “Virginia 17th among the 50 states in the amount of farmlands acquired by aliens.” (Last September, VPI & SU Dean W. R. Van Dresser of the Extension Service had notified US Sen. Herman Talmadge that county agents in the state had identified 15,350 acres in Virginia acquired by 12 “known” foreign purchasers in the same period.) Minimizing the “problem,” Del. Ray Garland of Roanoke said there are an estimated 23 million acres of farm land in Virginia. (The 1974 agriculture census reported that Virginia has 9,600,000 acres in farmland.) The Extension Service 18month survey in 15 Northern Virginia counties, from Caroline to Warren, and including Rappahannock, showed only three transfers, involving foreigners, in a total of 141 transfers of 100 acres or more. No transfers to foreign investors of any of Rappahannock County’s 74,372 acres of land in farms (1974 ag census) were listed in the 15-county district report. Assembling facts from local county court records to establish an accurate assessment nationwide of a trend, or threat, or opportunity in farm sales to foreigners was not simple. Rep. Robinson said that the “Extension Service agents in Virginia were unable to identify the nationality of 75 persons who became new farm owners.” On the other hand, one state agriculturist said that too often the surveyors assumed foreign investment because the investor’s name was Hispanic, German, Spanish or Arabic. His comment, “Names of foreign origin have been assimilated into the American language for years, and (after all some of) the foreign-bom still do become American citizens.” For all the time and effort, “the Extension Service survey on which some folks are reacting is guesstimate at the very best,” the state employee said. Whatever the survey’s worth. Columnist Jack Anderson trumpeted the> results before the survey was published. In 1977, he said, “21 per cent of farm sales” in the US were to “well-heeled foreigners.” A few days later on Jan. 17 the agriculture department reported that “foreign buyers accounted for about 2V« per cent,” or 826,543 acres of the 25 million acres of farmland sold in a year. United Press International characterized that 2% per cent as “enough to fill the state of Rhode Island.” But the Associated Press reported that at the rate of foreigners’ acquisition of land here, “it would take about 19 more years for foreigners to acquire 1 per cent of (all) US farmland.” And the AP cited a “government estimate” of foreigners’ ownership in the US at 1 per cent of the nation’s 1 billion' acres of privately owned farm and ranch lands. The AP also reported that Congressional investigators meanwhile found that for every $1 now invested in US property by foreigners, American interests own almost $5 worth of property abroad. While legislation to require disclosure to the state was pending in the Virginia General Assembly, an Eastern Shore grain farmer warned a senate committee in Maryland that foreign ownership “would lead to critical food shortages, deterioration of farm property, manipulation of food prices, a dropoff of farm jobs and a threat to American freedoms.” Other Maryland land>wners, however, said that adoption there of a state bill, which would forbid nonresident aliens to hold an interest in more than five acres of farmland, as Missouri does, would deny the landowners’ their right to sell to whomever they choose. The Extension Service survey, whatever its worth, showed that Oregon ranked first in acreage sold to foreign interests—129,700; Texas was next, 93,200; Virginia, 17th, with 17,000 (or 15,350) acres. In Fauquier County, the probable total for the reporting period (although it wasn’t listed in the district tabulation) was 1374 acres of the county's 236,569 acres in farmland (1974 ag cenus).

The Little Fox A Winter For The Books Poets rhapsodize over it. Children frolic in it. Most of the rest of us curse it. And there has been plenty to curse about this year. The blankety-blank snow that has blanketed much of the country since the onset of winter has shown little mercy. Even Southern California got a taste Jan. 31 when a major storm piled up drifts four feet high and shut down Los Angeles highways. But that is only the tip of the iceberg. Chicago has almost been snowed off the map. By midFebruary its cumulative snowfall for the season—84 inches—had already surpassed winter totals since record keeping began there in 1871. Timing Wai Nasty Not only has it snowed big in Chicago, but the snow has had a nasty sense of timing, the National Geographic Society says. “Our snows have been in close succession, so there Field Trial Set, To Run On Quail The Northern Virginia Field Trial Club is holding its annual spring bird dog field trial for all pointing breeds March 16, 17 and 18 at the Chester F. Phelps Wildlife Management Area. The trial grounds are at Sumerduck on Rt. 651. To be run on quail, the trial will have seven categories: Open Derby, Open Shooting Dog, Open Puppy, Amateur All-Age, Amateur Derby, Amateur Puppy, and Amateur Shooting Dog. For more information call Keith Severin at 347-9563 or Steve Battista at 754-4469. e Near hasn’t been much recovery time,” said Ray Waldman of the National Weather Service there. “Besides, they’ve all come when it has been very cold. That has made it difficult for the snow removal equipment to operate, not to mention the people.” Chicago started out the New Year with a bang—bearing the brunt of a whopper storm that extended from the Far West to Missouri. The snow stopped as many as 100,000 travelers in their tracks at the city’s O’Hare International Airport. Victims of canceled flights waited two and three days in the coffee-stained, trashstrewn terminal while, in some cases, their baggage flew on to St. Louis or Albuquerque. For those saddled with the task of keeping O’Hare’s roads and runways free of snow and ice, winter ’79 quickly became the one they’d most like to forget. Things got so bad in midJanuary that the airport completely closed down for about 46 hours. 4 "I’m guessing our snow and ice removal costs will add up to nearly $7 million,” said John Carr, acting airport manager. “And that is a record.” United Airlines, headquartered in Chicago, also has put “snow” on the dirty-word list. In the first seven weeks of the year snow forced the airline to cancel a record 7,500 flights nationally. Meals Down the Drain Chicago Restaurateurs have a few naughty words for snow, too.' The Chicago & Illinois Restaurant Association estimates that since the first of the year, snow has cost the city’s restaurant owners at least $5 million in lost business. For much of the Midwest, January was one big snowstorm. Milwaukee had four big snows in a row. The city quickly exhausted its $3million budget for snow removal. “Our big headache was cars—the plows couldn’t get through,” said a tired assistant superintendent ol sanitation and snow removal, Ray Caplan. “In the month of January, if I got three hours’ sleep I was fortunate.” People were not the onlj ones to suffer this winter Thousands of deer, antelope and elk died in Colorado and Wyoming when an unusually deep pack of ice and snow blocked them from their foot supply. Cattle in Nebraska died when the snow got too dee[ for them to reach their food Even some farmers it isolated areas relied or airdrops to eat. As February came to i close, the Midwest was struct again. More than two feet of snow fell in parts of southeast Missouri, and drifts were as high as 10 feet in southern Illinois. A doctor and nurse in Fredericktown, Mo., had to ski to a rural house to deliver a baby. February was cruel to the East Coast as well. A snowy rampage in mid-month paralyzed the Atlantic Seaboard and parts of the South. For a short time, all air travel east of St. Louis came to a halt. More than a foot of snow fell on New York City. In Delaware, the governor declared a state of emergency as snow in Dover reached a depth of 25 inches. Government Snowbound The storm brought Washington, D.C., to its knees. Adding 18 inches to the half-foot already on the ground, it ranked as the most severe snowstorm since 1922. It foiled Washington’s birthday sales and stopped up the mass transit system, violence broke out among people turned away from jobs shoveling snow from exposed subway tracks. The snow made temporary heroes out of farmers who had been in town for weeks protesting farm prices. Tooling around in the snow, their tractor tires towering over cars, the farmers ferried doctors and nurses to hospitals and pulled marooned motorists out of drifts. Meanwhile, the federal government all but shut down. The normally trafficchoked streets turned into a pedestrian paradise as suddenly-carefree Washingtonians celebrated the snowfall. A few dedicated bureaucrats and Capitol Hill workers skied to their jobs. But many others, including some Cabinet members, didn’t make it at all. That innocent looking white stuff had taken on the nation’s capital and won. Clemons To Be Lenten Speaker The guest speaker at the Community Lenten dinner next week, March 21, will be Dr. James T.

Go Fly A Safe Kite New aluminized polyester fabric is causing new hazards in kite flying. Some new kites are made of the metal-containing fabric. Often, kite string has fine wire included in it for extra strength. “Do not use these kites or string near electrical wires or street lights,” warned Virginia Tech Extension specialist Glen H. Hetzel. “If the kite became entangled in electrical wires or anything where electricity is present, the person holding the string could receive a severe electric shock,” he said. “Use string and kites that do not have any metal in them.

Vo. Selecting Small Fruits Small fruits in a home garden can have a lot ol advantages—they are tasty, nutritious, and economically valuable. They also provide personal satisfaction to the gardener. Spring—three to foui weeks before the date of the last killing frost—is the time to plant small fruits, recommended Virginia Tech Extension home horticulturist, L. Diane Relf. So even in the cold days ol winter, it is time to give special attention to the selection of varieties, she said. When selecting varieties, try to select those that are adapted to the soil and climatic conditions of the area. If possible, without sacrificing too much yield or quality, select varieties with the least insect and disease problems. “Always obtain the best nursery stock available,” she recommended. Buy from reputable nurserymen who guarantee the plants. “Beware of ‘basement bargains.’ Good, well-grown plants are not cheap,” she said. When the small fruits arrive, unpack bundles and inspect the plants. Roots should be moist and have a bright, fresh appearance. Shriveled roots indicate that the plants have been allowed to freeze or dry out in storage or transit. Such plants seldom survive. Plant roots must be kept moist and free from freezing temperatures at all times. Select a site that is free from frost pockets, low wet spots, and exposure to strong prevailing winds. Small fruits thrive best in a fertile, sandy, loam soil high in organic matter, but they will give good returns in the average garden soil with adequate fertilization and good cultural practices. Small fruit plantings should be located as close to the house as possible, preferably in or near the vegetable garden, the Virginia Tech College of Agriculture and Life Schiences faculty member suggested. They also may be used in place of ornamental plants of comparable size, she continued. Strawberries may be used as a border for a flower bed. Grapes and raspberries may be planted parallel to the garden on a trellis or a fence along a property line. Blueberries may be planted to form a dense hedge or used in a foundation planting around the home. Avoid overcrowding, she recommended, as it frequently results in weak plants and low yields. It also makes insect and disease control more difficult. Kilby Graduates Staff Sergeant James E. Kilby, whose parents are Mr. and Mrs. Bell W.

Nancy B. Secrbt Extension Agent The Honey Industry Council of America believes there may be a link between honey and the crib death or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome in children under the age of one. The U. S. Department of Health Education and Welfare Center for Disease Control has released the following statement: “Although ingestion of honey was recorded in only a third of the cases and therefore was not the only risk factor, it appears prudent that honey not be recommended as a food for infants. The safety of honey as a food for older children and adults remains unquestionable.” The digestive systems of certain infants under one year old are ideal for development of the Clostriduim botulinum because most do not contain the millions of bacteria that older children and adults have. Since the Gostriduim botulinum spores which were found in the honey develop quickly in the absence of competing bacteria, infants with such purified systems are extremely susceptible to the dangerous outgrowth of the spores producing toxin. Parents of infants under one year and doctors treating those infants should be aware of symptoms of infant botulism: constipation, sudden onset of generalized weakness, poor feeding or sucking, a weak cry, appearance of “floppy baby” symptoms.

W' Fire-Rescue A Good A When the handsome young man and his blushing bride stood before the minister in the company of relatives and friends those many years ago they repeated vows to each other. Each promised, "I will” or “I do.” Their commitment to each other at that time was perhaps viewed as an end - an end to courtship, an end to single an end to childhood. Possibly in the excitement and rush of planning and preparation for the “big day”, there was little time left for thoughts of the beginning that day actually marked - the beginning of what is supposed to be a permanent relationship, the beginning of life as a couple who are yet individuals, maybe the beginning of a new family, a branching out of the family tree. “I do” means facing reality: if love is blind, some married couples wear blinders which give only a very narrow view of the marriage relationship. Because marriage relationships, like life, are composed of nearly constant changes, the married couple needs to see the full view and in seeing, relate what they see. Facing reality demands hard work; no relationship is without frustrations. When asked after 50 years of marriage if she had ever been tempted to divorce her husband, the white-haired lady replied, “Divorce - never; but murder - many times!” She was only halfjoking. The unique intimacy of the marriage relationship can cause misunderstandings, tension and outright conflict. It is living up to - rather than walking away from - the demands of wedded life that can make it one of the most rewarding forms of human existence. No musician ever achieved greatness without hours and even lonely years of practice.

Verbalizing and sharing ideas, views and feelings is the solid foundation for the building and maintenance of a marriage. Each individual in a “couple” is going to have a different perspective. Husband or wife should never assume because they see the situation one way that their spouse sees the situation the same way. A big part of communication is listening and hearing what reality is to the other partner in a marriage. The marriage game should not be played with cards hidden; open honesty and acceptance of the other’s open honesty are essential ingredients. The “1 do” on the wedding day should be the first, not the last. Each day of a marriage should begin with an “I do I do agree to try this day to understand, to listen, to care, to share and to love this person whom 1 married." Each day will not always be perfect. Even the best professional baseball players don’t bat 1000 every day. The daily marriage “score” is important more for the points it adds to the overall average than for the heights or depths of the marriage. People sometimes get bogged down in the hard work of a marriage and seek help in establishing new avenues of communications to resolve problems that have sent the marriage into a slump. The Rappahannock Mental Health Clinic has trained counselors to help individuals and couples assess and resolve their marital problems. Appointments are available Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and some evenings. To make an appointment, call 675-3329.

Cattle Breeding Recommendations The key to those extra dollars in a (settle operation is to get a calf from each cow every 12 months. However, first-calf heifers sometimes hinder those plans. "First-calf heifers often experience rebreeding problems due to a number of stress factors,” H. John Gerken Jr., Virginia Tech Extension specialist in animal science, said. “For instance, the first-calf heifer is required to perform all the body functions of a mature cow, such as body maintenance, lactation and rebreeding. Even the birth process may place a greater stress on the heifer, expecially if she experiences calving difficulty,” the Tech College of Agriculture and Life Sciences faculty member commented. Since the first-calf heifer is still growing, the problem is compounded by the shedding of incisor teeth which limits her ability to chew feed, the specialist noted. To get first-calf heifers back on their breeding track fast, Gerken suggested two general management practices: —Separate heifers from mature cows the last three PUBLIC AUCTION 10 a.m. April 15, 1979 at Corbin's Shell. 719 N. Main Street Culpeper, Va. 1970 Volkswagon Bus months of gestation and through the breeding season. This will keep heifers from having to compete with matures cows for available feed. —Breed virgin heifers 20 to 30 days earlier than the regular herd to assure early calves. Heifers can be observed more closely and early calving also will give heifers enough time to return to heat during the second breeding season. The heifers breeding cycle would then correspond to that of the regular cow herd. If a producer is short on feed or is faced with thin heifers at calving time, he should wean calves early or alter the suckling pattern, Gerken said. Weaning calves at 30 to 90 days of age removes one of the primary stresses on heifers and makes more nutrients available for other body functions such as growth and rebreeding. An alternative is to limit nursing to one time per day for 30 to 45 minutes until the heifer shows heat. This should not begin before 30 days after calving and can run for about 45 days. Calf weaning weights may be reduced slightly but the loss would be offset by getting more first-calf heifetjs rebred on schedule. " wiving iieneib in a ucei herd a little special treatment can boost their reproductive performance,” the specialist said. “That can mean extra dollars in future years of production due to a larger calf crop as well as increased weaning weights of earlyborn calves.” REVIVAL Revival services will be held at Gid Brown Bible Church March 18 to March 23, at 7:30 p.m. Evangelist Jerry Knighting of Climax, Ga. will be preaching each evening.

Automatic Use Value Taxation Purcell reported that the Attorney General’s rulings held (1) tax deferments are automatic for all qualifying land within an AF District, (2) forestal and open space land in an AF District qualify for use valu«* taxation even if a locality has excluded the two types of property from eligibility under a separate land use taxation program and (3) adoption of an AF District meets the state requirement for passage of an ordinance before tax deferment is allowed. According to Purcell, an AF district qualifies as a separate class of subjects for tax purpose. He explained that this allows use value taxation to be granted to Protect your horses from fire... NOW!

Purcell noted that it is not mandatory to adopt an ordinance setting up an AF District if the local governing body feels the district is not in accord with the locality’s land use plan. Strictly Voluntary Dr. Paxton Marshall, VPI expert on the Agricultural and Forestal District Act, emphasized that application for an AF District is a voluntary action by landowners. No one can be included without consent, he said, adding that each landowner with property in a proposed AF District MUST sign the application for the district. When an application is received, the local governing body must within 30 days appoint a nine-member advisory committee composed of four active farmers, four landowners and one representative of local government. The advisory committee then has 30 days to report on whether the land within the proposed district is “agriculturally significant” and to assess the impact an AF District will have on the locality. The committee’s report is forwarded to the planning commission which has 30 days to conduct a public hearing on the application and make a recommendation to the board of supervisors. Finally, the supervisors have another 30 days to conduct their own public hearing and reject or approve the district. Marshall noted that both the advisory committee and board of supervisors may recommend that property be excluded from or added to the proposed district. Any additional land must have the owner’s approval in writing before it can be added to the district. According to Marshall, six things occur when an AF District is approved: 1. No special assessment or benefit tax levied for nonfarm or non-forest purposes may be imposed on land in the district. 2. Local government may not enact “nuisance ordinances” wrthin a district tlflt '"'ittterfef^ Vith regular farming operations. 3. Zoning and subdivision Make Money Your Servant, Not Your Master!

In addition, land use decisions and ordinances affecting property adjacent to an AF District must take into account the existence of the district and the purposes of the agricultural district law. 4. Powers of eminent domain are restricted to where only 10 acres may be taken from any single farm in a district and only 100 acres from the entire district. 5. No public funds may be expended in a district for non-farm related purposes. 6. All agricultural and forestal land within a district is eligible for use value taxation. Non-Con tiguoui Land Paxton said that each district must include 500 contiguous acres although the land doesn’t have to be a “solid block...It can be Swiss cheese” with holes in the middle representing property owners who chose not to be included in the district. In accordance with General Assembly amendments passed in the last session, additional noncontiguous property can be included on top of the qualifying 500 acres. This may be done, Marshall explained, if the noncontiguous land is within one mile of the boundary of the 500 “core” acres. In a run-down on the drawbacks of the AF district Act, Marshall noted that it set no clear cut standards for evaluating agriculturally significant land. “Basically, it’s been left to the localities to decide what land qualifies,” he saidMarshall added that no one knows the effect a district will have on land values—whether property within a district will become more valuable for development purposes and show a net worth increase or demonstrate value as agricultural land and show a net worth decrease. In conclusion, he said that large lot zoning will present a problem to AF Districts., Marshall suggested that localities negotiate with applicants to remove the allowance for large lot zoning from land within a proposed district. Surrounding Land Use Dennis White, agricultural planner with the Loudoun County Planning Department, maintained that local planning commissions have obligations and responsibilities to ensure that land J uses in areas surrounding AF Districts don’t pose a threat to the districts. Agricultural operations shouldn’t abut subdivisions or shopping centers, he said. If property is withdrawn from an agricultural district, White continued, the planning commission must work to prevent an incompatible land use. To protect the district, he suggested that local government purchase development rights for the property withdrawn. Even though use value taxation applies within agricultural districts, all parcels making up a 500 acre district do not automatically qualify. Dean McDowell, a landowner in Prince William County, reported that 1,400 acres there have been committed to a proposed district. He added, however, that several of the smaller holdings of one and two acre lots will not receive land use benefits. He said the property owners had decided to join in the application for the district because they wanted to remain in an agricultural area. Marvin Hates, supervisor from Culpeper County, reported that his board was now processing its first AF District application. Currently, one district in Warren County and three in Hanover County have been approved. In answer to questions from the audience, Paxton Marshall explained that a district would continue in force until time for the fourto-eight-year review even if withdrawals dropped the acreage below the 500 acre minimum. Use value taxation applies to the land signed up for an agricultural district whether or not the locality has passed a land use taxation ordinance, Marshall said. He added that use value taxation will continue in an agricultural district even if a locality votes to rescind its land use taxation ordinance. Col. E. C. Hooper, supervisor from Orange County, stated that five AF District applications have twice been presented to his board with recommendations for approval from both the special advisory committee and planning commission. “None of these was acceptable to the board of supervisors,” said Hooper, who was the only member of the Orange board to vote for approval. “Our board is a development oriented board.” As far as the AF District Hockman Miss Mamie Eliza Hockman of Rileyville died Friday, Marcfr 9, 1979 at Page Memorial Hospital, Luray. Funeral services were held Monday from Bradley Funeral Home, Luray conducted by the Rev. Kenneth Graff. Burial was in Rileyville Cemetery.

To correct this type o situation, he suggested tha the AF Districts Act b< amended, substituting “shall” for “may” in the section on local government approval of a district application. Then, he said, if the application is in accordance with the locality's land use plan and satisfies the rest of the criteria for establishment of a district, the supervisors would have less leeway to deny the application. Memory Porter, representing the Piedmont Environmental Council, told the audience that PEC had lobbyed for two bills in the past session of the General Assembly—amendments to the Agricultural and Forestal Districts Act and a farm land study resolution. The farm resolution was killed on the House floor after being passed by both House and Senate committees. The move to kill the bill came after delegates were notified that the Agricultural Opportunities Commission also planned to do a farm land study, Porter said. She encouraged farmers to attend upcoming commission meetings in Richmond. The Agricultural Opportunities Commission "has a heavy agenda so they’ll need active encouragement to have the study done in depth,” Porter said. Local Interest From Rappahannock, Col. Pete Luke, chairman of the board of supervisors, Barbara Lane and James W. Fletcher III attended the AF District seminar. To date, there have been no applications for approval of an AF District in Rappahannock but interest in this tool for farm land preservation is growing. “The purpose of the Agricultural and Forestal Districts Act is to protect land from the pressures created by development,” said Paxton Marshall. “Agricultural and Forestal Districts are directed towards the long run.
