Extra Bus Fees Illegal Charging student athletes a minimal fee to defray transportation costs to sporting events is illegal, according to legal advice given the Rappahannock School board by its attorney. Superintendent William Bloomer reported to the county supervisors at last Thursday’s meeting that the school board had taken action to charge a 50 cent maximum transportation fee when it became evident that the appropriate line item in the current budget was not sufficient to cover increased costs of gas and oil. “Since that meeting, we’ve done a cost analysis,” Bloomer said, indicating that the decision to charge a fee would be reconsidered at the October school board meeting. “Our attorney has given us added advice. In his opinion, the school board can charge for field trips but not for extra-curricular activities.” Bloomer said. “If fuel costs continue to rise, we may be in serious trouble,” the superintendent continued. He noted that the fuel supplier for the school system's transportation fleet was currently receiving 100 percent of last year’s allocation. “So getting the gasoline is not a problem at this point,” he said. “Paying for it might be,” concluded supervisor (Continued on Page 6) WATER OFF The water in the Town of Washington will be turned off Saturday, October 13 from 10 a.m. until 11 a.m. Please make note of this. Conference Day Oct. 15 There will be no classes at Rappahannock public schools on Monday, October 15.

Inspector Coming? After several years of ignoring requirements of the Code of Virginia, Rappahannock County appears headed toward hiring a building inspector. Following, an executive'’ session at last Thursday’s board meeting the supervisors agreed to ask county engineer Fanning Baumgardner to serve as building inspector. Further action was tabled until the supervisor meeting on November 1. The move came in apparent response to a letter from the state Department of Housing and Community Development dated September 26. The letter from O. Gene Dishner noted that his department had received a number of complaints regarding the lack of building inspection here. According to Dishner, there’s been “virtually no enforcement of the code in the county.” The Code of Virginia stipulates that enforcement of the Uniform Statewide Building Code (USBC) is the responsibility of the local building department and that a local board of building code appeals must be established. According to Dishner's letter, the code also allows a (Continued on Page 2) Road Hearing Long And Stormy By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock !N«*wk Staff Writer The court house benches overflowed last Thursday as approximately 50 county residents turned out for the board of supervisors’ hearing on Rappahannock’s six-year secondary road plan. One after another, for over two hours they marched up to the supervisors’ table to air their complaints. Some were agreeable — even apologetic—as they requested improvements. Others were a little unfriendly and a few were downright hostile. While assuring citizens that as much as possible would be done, resident highway engineer Don Askew repeatedly emphasized that money was a key factor. “When improvements can be completed depends on the funding,” he stated again and again. Askew noted that money for secondary road maintenance and improvements comes from gasoline taxes. As higher prices and shortages at the tanks have reduced consumption, gasoline tax revenue has dropped, he explained. “I rather suspect funding will be limited,” Askew stated. He estimated that Rappahannock will receive approximately $400,000 in secondary road funds next year. During 1979-80, the county got $432,000 for 231 miles of secondary roads. The decline in revenue comes at a time when highway dollars are already stretched by inflation. Askew reported at the May, 1979, county road hearing that the per ton cost of asphalt, for example, had tripled since 1972. “You all just bum some gas and give us more gas taxes so we’ll have the funds,” he said, half seriously and half injest. "That's going to be a problem next year." Residents from StonewallHawthorne district were the most vocal at Thursday’s hearing. Seven persons showed up to complain about Route 621, both north and south of Woodville. Clifton Clark asked then Route 621 north off Route 522 would be black-topped, noting that right-of-way had been donated and funds included in earlier highway budgets for the project. During the first gas shortage four or five years ago, the road was rebuilt, Askew recalled. He added, however, that reduced gas tax revenues forced the department to postpone surface treatment. “We have not gone back to pick that up...It’s not in the six-year plan but if the community wants it (paved), I think we have an obligation to do it.” Donation Withdrawn H. L. Manwaring asked if the highway department had made any progress in securing the additional rights-of-way required to pave Route 621 all the way over to Route 620. Manwaring noted that about four individuals had previously refused to donate. He said he had given additional land to cover right-of-way needs for both sides of the road in front of his property but would withdraw his offer if landowners further down the road refused to cooperate. “I believe I'm opposed to hard surfacing it unless we can do it all the way through,” he concluded, adding that paving only part of the road would be a waste of taxes. Askew replied that the highway department had dropped plans for hard surfacing due to opposition from several property* owners on the road. “If everybody gets together down there, we’ll get with it,” he said. Clyde Johnson suggested treating Route 621 with a dust inhibitor, if the road couldn’t be paved, to cut (Continued on Page 10) Bridge Closed The Route 1001 bridge across the Thornton River in Sperryville was closed by the highway department October 3, and will remain closed at least through November and perhaps permanently. “It was closed because of surface conditions,” explained resident highway engineer Don Askew, adding that the bridge had deteriorated for many years. Askew’s remarks came at the public hearing on the update of the county’s sixyear secondary road plan held by the Rappahannock supervisors last Thursday. He reported that the bridge had been scheduled for repair before August and September floods devastated the county’s road system. “Now we can’t get to it” because of the highway department’s increased work load resulting from flood damage, Askew said. “I’m going to propose a public hearing for November,” he continued. “We have to resolve whether the community of Sperryville wants to keep that bridge.” According to the resident engineer, rebuilding the structure will cost between S30.000 and $40,000. He noted that the weight limit for the bridge will have to be increased from eight to 22 tons if it is rebuilt. “That means it will become a shortcut for all the tractortrailers,” he maintained. If a decision is made to rebuild the bridge, “I don’t know when we’ll get to it,” Askew concluded. “We have other higher priority bridges that need work.” Elections 1979: Commissioner of the Revenue Scoggins Experienced By DAPHNE HUTCHENSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Commissioner of revenue candidate Merle Scoggin has been a resident of Virginia for 24 years and moved to Rappahannock County from Alexandria in 1964. She is married .to harold Dr. Scoggin, an employee of Stone and Webster Engineering Companyat the North Anna power plkant. The couple has one son. Bill, a student at VP1. Questions —What are the duties of commissioner of revenue? Scoggin: “Actually, they’re set out in the code.They’re the tax assesser for the county and the state. They handle the state income taxes and the estimated taxes. So all duties connected with making assessments fall on the commissioner of revenue.” —Do you have the authority, as commissioner of Merle Scoggin revenue, to go out to someone’s home and assess their property? Scoggin: “Yes, to a degree. We do have an appraisal here. In the past, it’s been every six years. In the future, it’s going to be every four years. We have a board of appraisers and we hire an appraiser. Usually, he comes up from the state. They appraise the property and then they have a public hearing and they mail out notices. “The people in the county have an opportunity to protest or ask questions and then they type up a land assessment book. They turn that book over to us and then they disband. At that time, when they disband, we are tied to their assessments. It would have to be a very unusual case and it would have to be brought before the court to change their assessments. “But there is that period between the assessments, if someone builds a new building in that four years between assessments, the commissione of revenue does have the authority to go out and appraise ' that new building. —Do you also have the authority to appraise personal property? Scoggin: “Right. But the only land we can appraise is a piece that is sold off of a larger piece—a smaller piece of land is more valuable per acre than a large piece. We (Continued on Page 12) 1 Bailey Raised With Taxes By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Marilyn Bailey, candidate for commissioner of revenue, is a native of Rappahannock County. She attended Washington High School and Anderson College. She and her husband Leon Bailey have four children and live in Washington. Questions Q—What are your qualifications for commissioner of revenue? —Bailey:“I'll tell you how I got started other than doing my own taxes. Daddy (L. V. Merrill, owner and manger of Merrill’s Motors, the Ford dealership in Washington) always had one of the local lawyers to do them so I’d stay up there until midnight, giving them all the facts and figures on the form and then after they'd penciled it up, they’d give it to me to type it and copy it. After a year or two. I started paying at Marilyn Bailey tent ion to what was put down. “They may have known law but they didn't know our accounting system as related to taxes. I went over to Winchester to the Internal Revenue and I got Daddy a three year back refund— about $1,300 which back in the 50's was a glob of money. “My only real experience in taxes had been that I’ve just done them off and on for my family and friends and neighbors for nothing. “I sort of grew up with the idea of taxes because my mother audited income tax returns for the Internal Revenue for six years. All my life there’s been a lot of discussion about taxes because that had been her job. It’s just been something that’s been an interest with me. I also took accounting from Ohio University.” 0—What are the duties of the commissioner of revenue? — Bailey: “The Code is rather explicit—obtain the necessary information from the tax payer for both local and state taxes. “But there are powers involved in that job that are frightening. You have the power to go out and knock on' people’s doors and say’Well, just let me see what you have here.’ Nobody’s going to do those things, 1 don’t think, but the power is there, according to the Code of Virginia.” 0—So you keep records (Continued on Page 2) Grimsley Abreast Of Tax Change By DAPHNE HITCH IN SON Rappahannock Vw«.

Remove Leaves The quality" " <$F' homeowner’s lawn next summer will have a direct relationship to how well leaves are removed this fall. John Hall, Virginia Tech Extension turf specialist, warned that Kentucky bluegrass and tall fescue need all the light they can get in October, November and December to efficiently make carbohydrates which will be used to grow roots this fall and next spring. “Leaves shade the turfgrass plant and tremendously reduce its ability to make food for storage and leaf and root growth. “The quick removal of leaves from lawns this fall will improve significantly the lawn next summer.” he said. Hall said homeowners should develop good leafraking practices in conjunction with their fall fertilization programs as recommended by Extension publication.

All regulations in the code comply with the General Assembly’s mandate that the USBC “protect the health, safety and welfare of the residents of this state and therefore of those of Rappahannock County," Dishner’s letter continued. His letter noted that Rappahannock has ignored required procedure for some time: “Our files indicate that the problem of enforcement in Rappahannock County has been in existence since 1975. The problem is a serious one which represents a threat to the health and safety of the residents of your county.” Dishner ottered the assistance of his office in helping the county provide “alternate enforcement mechanisms" but warned that “if the county continues on its present course, we will have no other alternative but to take the appropriate legal action.” Unpaid Legal Bills Unpaid legal bills were the apparent topic of discussion in th^xecutive session called by the^HjJpervisors. Burke Hertz and K&bettJitzgerald attended the closed session with the board members. Hertz is a local attorney with offices in Washington. Fitzgerald is the former legal counsel for the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals with a bill of $4,423.55 still unpaid for his services. Fitzgerald was retained by the BZA as attorney in cases involving the Rappahannock Ski Corporation and Sperryville antique dealer P. E. Steve DeMent. In April, 1978, the board of supervisors voted to limit payment on Fitzgerald’s fees to $1,800 in the BZA account at that time. The supervisors subsequently voted on three separate occasions to deny payment of the balance owed to Fitzgerald. Following Thursday’s executive session with Fitzgerald and Hertz, vicechairman, J. R. Latham reported that no action had been taken. In other business at the October board meeting, the supervisors opened bids on renovation of the old clerk’s office into new quarters for the commissioner of revenue, zoning administrator and voting registrar. The contract was awarded to the low bidder, S. C. Ellis and Co. of \missville with a bid of ■ 13,248. The supervisors also ipproved authorization for the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court probation officer to send offenders 14 years old and younger to facilities in Manassas and Fredericksburg. Bailey Raised With Taxes (Continued from Page 1) there in the commissioner of revenue’s office? —Bailey:“You keep four' sets of books. There’s one book that kept there permanently on personal property. There’s one that goes to the clerk of the court. 1 have that underlined in there (Bailey’s copy of the Code of Virginia, Title 58, Taxation). There’s one copy that goes to Richmond and one that goes to the treasurer. “You’re supposed to check on any people who have any licenses that are required to be bought through there. 1 don’t know exactly at this point in time because I haven’t looked. You used to have to have tobacco licenses and all this sort of thing. I don’t know which ones are required anymore.” 0—If elected, do you have any ideas on improving or changing office operations? —Bailey:“There’s one thing in the book that I used last time that I thought should be done because it does say'shalf. It’s in there and that is. I intend to be present at a convenient public place in each district of the county one or more days before May 1 each year for the purpose of receiving state and local tax returns and rendering such assistance as may be necessary." 0—That would mean that you would go to each magisterial district? —Bailey: “Each voting precinct. That is required by Grimsley Abreast Of Changes (Continued from Page 1) think anyone could know too well unless they actually had worked in the office. But I have sent for a copy of the Code of Virginia and my intention is to follow the Code of Virginia and do everything that is required." —It appears that there are certain duties of the commissioner of revenue that aren’t being fulfilled, for example the requirement that the commissioner attend supervisor meetings and the opening of the circuit court, that the commissioner or deputy make themselves available at the voting places in each magisterial district one day out of the year to help with tax forms. Do you intend to fulfill all of these duties? Grimsley: “Oh yes. 1 intend to do those. 1 certainly do.” — What are your qualifications for commissioner of revenue? Grimsley: “I graduated from Anderson College Preparatory Department as valedictorian. Then 1 went to the University of New York and I transferred to Madison College in Harrisonburg. But I left there and got married. “While 1 was married, I had my own little tax business—RBG Business Services which was a play on RE-ELECT NATHAN Miller NATHAN H.

Grimsley: “I don’t really think I would make too many changes other than I would make a point of following the code and doing everything that was required. But 1 think Mrs. Smith is doing her job fairly decently and 1 would try to do pretty much the same. "Besides the two people in the office, no- one knows exactly what's done now. You would have to be there to think of ways to improve the office." —Are the records in the commissioner of revenue’s office open to the public? Grimsley; “I don't really know and 1 think the only persons who could answer that would be Mrs. Scoggin or Mrs. Smith. 1 have never asked to look at any of the records and I don’t really know if I could. ‘‘There’s one item that I forgot to mention that I think would help clarify my qualifications. Since my husband died, I have been attending the tax conferences put on jointly by VP1 and the Internal Revenue Service and the State Department of Taxation. I think this has been very helpful because the tax laws do change every year and unless you keep up with it you don’t know. They pass out papers giving all the changes plus they have a question and answer period. I’ve learned a lot during these three day sessions.

It s also required by law that they attend all the board of supervisors meetings—I don’t know why—and also sit in on the first day or two of the circuit court. “Course I don’t want to alienate anybody by making it sound like things are inefficient but some of these things are required by law. I went to Richmond and got all this stuff before because I didn’t know and I didn’t think many people did. “Now why or what purpose that it serves, I have no idea. 1 just know that it says that it’s supposed to be done. 1 don’t think that it gives them an option. “This is another of the duties: to ascertain and assess at fair market value all the personal property not exempt from taxation.” 0—Are there guidelines that help you do that or is it just common sense? —bailey: it states in here that the state commissioner will instruct by letter, printed circular or otherwise give instructions. They’ll send someone from Richmond who will totally instruct a new person. Just simply start out from scratch. Of course, that will really be the most efficient way because you would get it straight from the state. It would be totally efficient—what you were learning—and not any methods that someone else has handed down. ‘‘There are four generations of us in this county. My parents came here in the 20’s. My two older children own property and 1 have three grandchildren. So my roots are really here and will be. 1 have an interest in the past and an interest in the present and I’m concerned about the future of the county. There are many people in the county who are around, they’re here, they own land but their children aren’t going to be here or their grandchildren. I don’t know whether that means anything in particular to the tax payers or not but we have been here and for generations to come, some of us will surely be here. “I do really feel very strongly about this going around the county thing. I see so many older people up there in Chester Gap and I know it's a chore for them to come down to attend to anything. Normally with working people, it’s just not practical. "If people have voted for you and put you in office, you're a public servant. You're there to serve the people. To me, I can’t see why any body wouldn't want to do it because I think it would be a great change of pace from just sitting up there. It’s got to be boring. It would be sort of like a day off to get out and see people and be somewhere else. “It would be a public service and public officials are there to render service. I think too that the qualifications for commissioner of revenue are not necessarily all academic because it isn t all accounting, all taxes. It s dealing with people. And I have a feeling that the offices should be a comfortable place for anyone to come in and discuss their problems and seek assistance."

Even the tranquil beauty of the Rappahannock environment does not make a person immune to thoughts of suicide. The tragedy of this irreversible act of self inflicted violence comes to all age groups. For young people, anticipated school failure and broken love affairs are sometimes the precipitating factor. For some young adults, the pressures of getting ahead and adjustments to parenthood have become too much to cope CENTRAL TRACTOR FARM& FAMILY CENTER WEEKLY SALE: October 12th thru October 20th V A / on il I ■ m Merchandise Sales ■ / O Under MOO ■| £% / OFF on All I I _ Merchandise Sales M / A Over MOO CALE'S SALES & SERVICE NO. 2 Routes 15 & 29 North of Culpeper Phone 825-3885 with. Persons in their middle years often feel that they have reached the top of their ladder of accomplishments but have fallen far short of their goals; they see no need to continue what has become for them a losing battle.

Suicide is rarely an impulsive act—it can often be prevented. The tendency to commit suicide is not usually the result of mental illness, but rather a disturbance in emotional balance and the ability to cope with crises. People who talk about suicide do commit suicide. Any threat, however patent or subtle, should be taken seriously. Chronic alcoholism and drug abuse are means of suicide which are often not recognized as such. Some changes which might serve as a forewarning include: mood or behaviorial changes—frequently the person considering suicide will give away prized possessions or stop engaging in activities which previously were very important; depression—often in conjunction with alcohol or drug abuse; a loss of energy and a pre-occupation with one’s • Automatic engine fan clutch is standard on ail models below 8,500 lbs.

When someone you know says they are thinking of suicide or shows signs of contemplating suicide, don’t be a conspirator by inaction. If you see indications that suicide is being considered, ask the person. Just being able to talk about the possibility, getting the subject out in the open, is one deterrent to actually performing the act. If you do not think you can bring up the subject, don’t ignore the fact that the possibility is present—the person intending to commit suicide needs help—pick up the phone and call the Rappahannock Mental Health Clinic, 675-3329.

In the final analysis, every piece of property is different. Basically, there are three methods of arriving at a value estimate. 1. Comparison. A comparison is made as to price, value, and location in relation to other properties in the same neighborhood. 2. Reproduction Cost. How much would it cost to reproduce the structure? Add to this the value of the land and deduct for depreciation. 3. Capitalization. This is used for income property. The value is established by consideration of the present and future income value of the property. Frequently, the appraiser will use all three methods. No single method can always be depended upon to produce reliable estimates by itself. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M. DAY.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11,1979 FROM BOTH BARRELS When Is A Lobbyist ? By GEORGE BOWLES Rappahannock News Special Writer The 1980 session of the General Assembly will convene at noon on the second Wednesday in January, as required by the state Constitution. That will be Jan. 9, and it is a date that is marked and doublechecked in red in countless executive suites, public, private and corporate, around the state. The up-coming legislature will be a “regular," or 60day, session. It will probably deal, favorably or unfavorably, with upwards of 2,000 bills and resolutions which will be dropped in the hopper by the 100 delegates and 40 senators who make up the body. As always, the most important of these, and the most closely watched, will be the budget for the 1980-82 biennium. But (he legislation considered will not only be closely watched by the lawmakers, it will also be tracked carefully by another even larger group whose concern for the proceedings often exceeds that of the members. This group is the ubiquitous band of lobbyists who inhabit the halls of Mr. Jefferson’s Capitol from the opening gavel in January to the adjournment sine die sometime in early March. To the casual visitor to the Capitol during the legislative sessions, this group is very nearly invisible. It is composed of intense men and women, frequently young button-down types, who birddog the legislation in which they have an interest from its introduction to its final disposition. Only those representing commercial and nongovernmental interest groups are legally defined as lobbyists and required to register and disclose how much money they spend in promoting their causes. But there are at least two other categories of pressure groups on the hill who are lobbyists in everything but name. One such category represents the state agencies. Many departments, bureaus and divisions of the Commonwealth dispatch emissaries to the Capitol to protect their bureaucratic turf, and more especially to safeguard their slice of the budget pie. They are required to file their names with the Secretary of the Commonwealth, but no financial disclosure is involved. The other category is within the General Assembly itself. It is smaller, more specialized and more difficult to define. For example it has been a standing joke around the Capitol for years that Del. George E. Allen, Jr. DRichmond, is the ex-officio lobbyist for the Virginia Trial Lawyers' Association. Allen a lawyer whose practice mainly involves automobile liability litigation, has led the charge against no-fault automobile insurance legislation each time it has been introduced. Advocates of such legislation say it would greatly curtail attorneys’ fees, and hence the costs, in settling auto liability suits. Allen hotly denies that this is true, but nevertheless he and the association strongly oppose no-fault and thus far have succeeded in blocking its passage. The registered lobbyists’ interests span just about the entire spectrum of human concerns. They represent tobacco growers, highway users, groups for and against the Equal Rights Amendment. manufacturers, unions, utilities, beer and soft drink bottlers, the insurance industry. Common Cause, and scores of others. They also span the economic spectrum. The wealthiest of the corporate and association groups lavishly wine and dine the lawmakers as they press for or against legislation. The glittering galas they sponsor are the social events of the legislative season. The least wealthy can barely scrape together the money they need to pay their $20 filing fee and their hotel bills in Richmond. During the 1979 session of the General Assembly there were 737 registered lobbyists, or more than five for every eieciea memoer 01 me legislature. When to this number is added the representative of the various state agencies and the special interest blocs within the Assembly itself, it means that a small army of highly mobilized and self-interest oriented pressure groups are bearing down on each individual legislator. That number will undoubtedly be even larger in the 1980 session. The central question is basic. Can the lawmaker effectively serve the genuine best interests of the Commonwealth in such a pressure cooker? It takes a strongwilled individual to do so. The solution to the problem is not simple, but for starters the law should recognize that a lobbyist is a lobbyist, whether he works for a commercial interest or the state. In either case he can bring pressures on the legislators which' directly affect the lives and pocketbooks of the citizens.

Nuclear Test Participants Sought Foi more than a year the Department of Defense has been attempting to identify former military and civilian Defense personnel who participated in the atmospheric nuclear tests conducted from 1945 to 1962. The Defense Nuclear Agency is the Executive Agent for this program. Anyone who participated in these tests, which were held largely in Nevada and at Bikini and Enewetak atolls in the Pacific, is urged to contact the Defense Nuclear Agency by calling toll free 800-572-6845. The Defense Nuclear Agency is attempting to reconstruct a complete history of the atmospheric nuclear test program, including names of participants and any radiation doses they received. One of the purposes of this effort is to enable the National Academy of Sciences and other scientific organizations to determine if there' are health hazards resulting from participation in the tests. Trout Stocked Area streams scheduled for trout stocking by the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries during October are Big Stoney Creek in Shenandoah County on October 9 and South River in Greene County and Hughes River in Madison on October 12.

Letters Heard Rumors To the editor: I have heard rumors that the bridge in Sperryville will be closed. 1 find this very difficult to believe. This bridge has been a link to Sperryville for many years and 1 can not wee where it has been a hindrance. Why close it now? I heard "The people” want the bridge closed because of tractor trailers speeding through the area. This could be corrected by posting signs “no trailers". As far as the speeding is concerned, this is a job for the police. They could use radar more often and post more speed signs. 1 know this would be using more of the tax payers money, but it is used for other things that are not as important as this bridge. If the people allow this bridge to be closed, then the two by the old Co-op will most likely be next. The rescue squad has just moved to the VFW hall. Suppose there was a bad accident, with people in critical condition. Some members of the rescue squad live out Route 211. This means they would have to go around and back through town to reach the accident. In a case where every minute counts, this could mean someone's life. Another thing to think about is the tourist trade. Tourists coming off the mountain cross this bridge t>' visit the store and the antique shop. Without this bridge, they would continue on through. Can we afford to lose this trade? Festival The Front Royal Kiwanis will sponsor a bluegrass music festival as part of the town's annual Festival of the Leaves this weekend, October 13 and 14. The bluegrass festival will be held at Bing Crosby Stadium from 1 to 6 p.m. on Sunday, October 14. In case of rain, the music makers will move indoors to the Warren County High School* auditorium. Groups expected to participate in the festival include Whiskey Creek led by Dr. Craig Zunka of Front Royal, Bluegrass Legacy of Funkstown, Md., Mountain Laurel from Toms Brook, First Class Grass and the Turkey Run Cloggers from Washington, D. C. Tickets at $3 may be obtained from members of the Front Royal Kiwanis Club or at the gate. Children under 12 will be admitted free when accompanied by an adult. The idea of closing this bridge in Sperryville does not make any sense to me, and 1 feel all of the taxpayers should have a say in this matter, instead of just a few people. This letter is not meant to anger anyone, but to state the way 1 feel. CHARLES F. DODSON Sperryville Activity Bus? To the editor: I attended the board of supervisors meeting Oct. 4, 1979 and was surprised to hear more complaints about students driving to school. Where is the activity bus that’s needed to keep those cars at home? Right now the parents are financing the athletic department by buying the gas so the boys and girls can compete on teams for the school. If all of the parents had to drive to and from the school delivering and picking up, it would be twice the cost. Most of the students try to car pool, but have you people had to pay the phone bills for long distance calls to a near neighbor to ride together any given day? If you know a better way to serve our children and give them more than bare minimum in Rappahannock, please call and tell me. VALERIE JONES —Rappahannock News Photo/D.

Help Build Reading Skills The Rappahannock Education Association has some simple ideas for parents on helping their children develop reading skills: Read to your children often. Try short exciting stories that capture their imaginations. Let your children see you reading—books, magazines, the newspaper. They’ll get the idea that reading is enjoyable and opens up a world of useful information. When your children are learning to read, encourage their inclination to read everything they see—signs, posters, food labels. You can make a game out ot it. If at any time your children seem “turned off” by reading, don’t make an issue of it. Just casually leave books around that they won’t be able to resist—books on cars, flowers, snakes, whatever their current interests are. Reading is the basis of •most school work. The more you encourage reading, the better chance your child will have to make this his or her best year in school. Starting A New Business? A special one-day “Workshop for Prospective Business Owners” will be held at the Holiday Inn, Junction 1-66 and Route 234, Manassas, Virginia, Thursday, October 18, starting at 8:30 a.m. The workshop is designed for persons who want to go into business for themselves, and will give participants an understanding of what is required in starting a business. Among the topics to be covered are selecting a location, organization and planning business regulations, record keeping, estimating capital requirements, obtaining financing, sources of aid and information. Ample time'will be available for the individual questions and answers. A registration fee of $8.00 is required and registration will be limited to 40 individuals.

Hutchinson THE BOOK FAIR AT THE LOCAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL received the attention of this group of first graders Tuesday. Books have been on display all this week for the students to make selections from subject to approval and purchase by parents. Mrs. Lucia Kilby, Librarian, supervises the fair and advises the youngsters. Illegal Bus Fees (Continued from Page 1) chairman E. P. Luke. “When can you let us know whether you'll need an additional appropriation?” (for fuel costs) he asked. Luke informed Bloomer that the county’s accountant Walter Cox had raised questions regarding “the pseudo-taxing authority” wielded by the school board in charging extra for transportation. Cox is also concerned, said Luke, over collection procedures. He noted that all money would have to be first deposited in the school activity fund, then transferred to the school board’s account and finally deposited with the county treasurer. “What about fuel oil?” asked supervisor Butch Eastham, referring to anticipated cost increases there. Bloomer answered that the schools primarily used coal which is expected to increase only $2 and $3 per ton. that’s going to conserve some fuel,” Bloomer maintained. “Let’s hope so and hope for a mild winter,” interjected supervisor H. B. Wood. Bloomer added that some sort of special arrangements may have to be instituted at the elementary school since seventh grade is not covered by the more lenient temperature guidelines but is housed at the elementary school. Student Drivers Criticized Luke noted that he’d visited the high school recently to check on progress on the new track and had found the RCHS parking lot full. “I’ve never seen so many cars in all my life,” the supervisor chairman said. "That’s not energy conservation,” he maintained, noting that transportation to and from school was provided for students on school buses. Other counties, he added, are beginning to address the problem of student drivers using limited fuel supplies and so should Rappahannock. Supervisor Dick Latham maintained that athletes drove family cars to school to save extra trips before and after practice. “I read that the whole energy shortage would be solved if kids didn’t drive to school,” interjected Butch Eastham. Bloomer reported that the number of students driving to school consistently had decreased from the previous year. He added that the school’s position is that driving to school is an area of parental — not school —responsibility. Moving on to the status of the new track, Luke said he understood that the track was on the school property More For Gas And Oil “Back when you were working on the budget, Col. Luke and I both questioned the gasoline part of the budget,” Eastham continued, referring to inquiries as to why the school board hadn’t increased the allocation request for gasoline and oil over the previous year's amount. "That would have been the time to do it,” he stated. Luke recalled that he’d facetiously suggested during the last energy crunch that the schools institute campout day and have the kids wear their winter overclothes to class in order to save fuel expenses. He reported that he’d received a response from an irate parent who told him “if there’s any heat turned off in this county, it’s going to be turned off at the court house.” As a result of major renovations in the high school’s heating controls. Bloomer said, it has been projected that RCHS will realize a 25 percent savings in heating costs. Major renovations have also been completed on the heating system at the elementary school, he said. Both schools will be monitored for compliance with federal guidelines on energy conservation.

According to Luke, the track has drainage problems. “If it’s not graded and seeded properly, we’re going to see a maintenance item in the budget each year (after the track is turned over to the school),” he maintained. He suggested that county engineer Fanning Baumgardner conduct a grade check—“not eyeballing it but getting a measurement." Nothing that he had contributed to the fund raising effort, Luke called PAL’s efforts to build a track “an excellent idea. But before we get ourselves in trouble, we should have a professional look at it," he concluded. Bloomer reported that PAL wanted to finish work on the drainage and put gravel on the track before they turned it over to the school. As the superintendent got up to leave with school board members Robert Eastfiam, Beverly Massie and Charles Eldred, Luke had one final word: “Let us know if you need any more money." Wakefield Wins Match Wakefield Country Day School’s Varsity soccer team defeated St. James School of Hagerstown by a score of 5-0 in a match played at St. James on Oct. 4. i Three of the Wakefield goals were scored by Robert O’Neill, a freshman; one by Patrick Dubenitz, a sophomore, and one by Michael Blake, a junior. The St. James match was the second of the season. An earlier match with St. Elizabeth Ann Seton School of Manassas, ended in a 1-1 tie. Wakefield’s Varsity coach. Peter Quinn, believes that, this year’s Wakefield teams are the best that the school has fielded to its six year history. The twice-a-week summer practice has, he' feels, contributed greatly to the skills which the players are now exhibiting. Wakefield’s next home match will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 17 at 2:30 p.m. when the Junior Varsity meets Powhatan School of Boyce. In an earlier match, the Junior Varsity team defeated Grymes Memorial School of Orange by a score of 3-0.

Askew reported that crews had ditched Route 621 and laid pipe this year in preparation for improving it to an all-weather road. He said plans call for several grading projects. “We don’t have the money yet but we’re proposing it.” Askew said, adding that improvements to Rt. 621 would receive high priority in the updated sixyear plan. Muth pointed out that the narrowness of the road and limited sight distance on hills presented a danger to school buses carrying children over Route 621. “I have a note to tell myself not to come out on (he road at certain times in the morning and afternoon,” he said. Discrimination Charged “Aren’t we getting discriminated against a little bit down here?” asked Jerry Jenkins, recalling that Askew had described Route 621 as the worst road in the county during road hearings in the spring and had promised spot improvements. “I'm I case or FREE H oil and file J • Wraparound Chain Brake/Hand Guard • Vibration isolated handles • Automatic and manual bar and chain oiling • Solid state ignition • Muffler shield • 14" sprocket tip bar and guard link chain Come in for a demonstration today and see the other new 300 Series Chain Saws from McCulloch.

MILLER, JR., EXECUTOR NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ACCIDENTS ON PREMISES JOHN WALKER JENKINS AUCTION COMPANY Washington, Virginia 22 74 7 through backing up for anyone”—school bus or farm truck, Jenkins stated. “Promises don’t gfct you anywhere,” he said, adding that he couldn’t get in to pick apples in his orchard on Rt. 621 because of mud holes two feet deep in the road. Askew replied that the highway department must handle improvement and repair projects on 231 miles of secondary roads with a crew of only about 20 men. “It’s humanly impossible” to handle all requests, he stated. Askew noted that $50,000 had already been spent on Route 621 this year. “So you can hardly say we haven't done anything.” Mrs. Martin agreed with Jenkins that Route 621 was “not fit for a horse and buggy to travel over.” James Jenkins reemphasized the danger of school bus accidents. When he meets a school bus while carrying a load of apples, Jenkins said, he backs up around the curve or over the hill. “There’s no law that says I have to but it’s dangerous for a bus to do,” he said, adding that he will be the one to get a ticket should an accident occur while he’s backing. Mail Track Accident Ann Ellis asked that Route 680 leading back from Dennis’ Store be widened. She told the supervisors that her daughter had been involved in a serious accident with a mail truck on the road. All the property owners on Route 680 are willing to donate the land required to widen the road, Mrs. Ellis added, noting that the school bus couldn’t travel the road due to lack of passing room. H. B. Wood, supervisor from Mrs. Ellis’ district, interjected that he’d checked the road and also found sight distance poor. Askew responded that improvements to Route 680 would have to wait for next year. The only immediate project that could be undertaken, he said, would be to install a culvert. He emphasized that all the necesary land required to widen the road would have to be donated. Since the highway department doesn’t exercise its powers of eminent domain as a rule on secondary roads, “donated right-of-way is the key to every secondary road improvement project in the state of Virginia,” Askew said. Relying on donated rightof-way “gives us a sense of what the community wants,” he explained. “If we had to buy all the right-of-way, we would NEVER have enough money to improve roads.” Askew added that the condemnation procedure followed by the department takes considerable time. In regard to hard topping secondary roads, condemnation has been employed only “when there’s a regional type need,” he said. Condemnation requires developing a full set of plans and profiles for the road design. holding public hearings and formulating Environmental impact statements, according to Askew. “If we started the process today, you MIGHT get (the project started) in eight years, if the funding was available,” he said. Mrs. Ellis again asked when improvements on Route 680 could get underway, emphasizing that all required right-of-way would be donated. “I can promise you it won’t be this fall," Askew answered. In other requests from St one wall-Hawthorne District, Sean Kilpatrick asked when the Scrabble Road (Route 616) would get some attention, describing it as “the only road crookeder than 729.” According to Askew, rightof-way has already been donated along Route 616 and money included in a previous budget for the project. “We hope to get it done this year,” he said. In response to an inquiry from Kilpatrick, Askew explained that work planned for 1981-82 on Route 604 had been dropped from the sixyear plan after funds for the project were included in this year’s secondary road budget. Carroll Fox also spoke for improvements to Route 616, specifically on a stretch just south of Castleton. According to Fox, three of his friends have had serious accidents on the road over the last few years. Howard Holschuh asked for continuing flood controls at Rock Mills. He reported that the area has flooded eight times this year with water over the road and bridge. Askew replied that the highway department expected to have a new bridge at Rock Mills started within the next few weeks and completed before winter to replace the structure destroyed in the August flood. Truss Bridge Unsafe A second bridge was the center of concern in Jackson District. Chris Eidson said she can look out and see the old truss bridge on Route 637 vibrate as the drives the school bus over carrying thirty-some kids. Askew responded the the truss bridge on Route 637, one of two left in the county, is inspected by highway department bridge engineers once a year. "Today you’re probably all right but with truss bridges, you never know when they’re going to go,” he stated. Askew noted that the bridge was posted with an eight ton weight limit. He added, however, that the structure could be "overstressed” by heavy farm equipment. Metal fatigue isn’t detectable until after the bridge collapses, interjected commonwealth attorney George Davis. “That’s why we’re trying to replace them,” Askew responded. “They could be overstressed anytime.” According to the resident engineer, the Route 637 truss bridge is scheduled for replacement during the later part of the six-year plan. Mike Eidson, Ellen Jones and Miriam Harris all added to the list of improvements requested for Route 637. Jones asked for drainage work and Eidson for better sight distance on hills. Harris also asked for improvement to sight distance on hills and around blind curves, better drainage and a posted speed limit of IS miles per hour. High Priority For Rt. 621 In Hampton District, most of the complaints centered around roads to Peyton Farm Estates. After the first request for improvements to Route 621 from Roger Andrews, Askew reported that a project would be set up for that road in the first year of the six-year plan. ‘‘If we can get the right-of-way, we’ll do something,” he said, noting that right-of-way problems had blocked at-> tempts seven years ago to improve the road. “The property has now changed hands,” Askew continued. “With community Aptitude Test Offered Juniors James T. Futrell, Jr., guidance director at Rappahannock County High School, has announced that juniors will be able to join over one million other students around the world in taking the Preliminary Foreign Investors A total of 36,554 acres of Virginia agricultural land is now owned by foreign interests, a study recently released by the U. S. Department of Agriculture showed. Nationally, foreign investors hold an interest in about 4 million acres of U. S. agricultural land. This is less than one-half of 1 percent of all private U. S. agricultural land. Figures are based on a preliminary review of 4,500 reports filed as of Sept. 1 by foreign investors under the Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act of 1978. Distribution patterns indicate that foreign ownership is heavily concentrated in the South and West, although foreign agricultural land holdings were reported in all 50 states.

It’s imperative for the people out there to work to help us get the rightof-way...It’s physically impossible for us to go out and Solicit right-of-ways for all the people who’ve requested improvements today.” Askew volunteered to meet with residents of Peyton Farms subdivision to resolve road problems. Roger Andrews agreed to serve as contact person between property owners and the highway department. William F. Donald asked that Route 622 between Rock Mills and Route 729 be ditched and graveled to clear up mud and pot holes. Now, if a driver pulls over to pass another vehicle, he gets stuck on the road side and has to call a wrecker to be pulled out, according to Donald. Askew replied that the department had improved Route 622 with a mile of pavement. “We would like to continue but again, we have a right-of-way bottleneck,” he saia. From Piedmont District, Eileen Day represented a group of citizens with a request for ditches and new culverts to relieve flooding on Route 612. Edmond Offner criticized maintenance work on Route 612, maintaining that a grader had been up the road, hit a few high spots and left. “He didn’t even touch the bad spots,” Offner said. According to Askew, most of the damage on Route 612 is the result of flooding caused by hurricane David. “We have roads today in this county that people can’t travel in and out of at all...You’re at least fortunate that you can get in and out,” he told Offner. v Askew volunteered to meet with residents along Route 612 and look at maintenance problems on the road. Eileen Day agreed to serve as landowner representative and contact person with the highway department. After the meeting, Askew noted that the session in Rappahannock had been better attended, longer and stormief than similar six-year plan sessions in adjoining counties. But along with the complaints and criticism, the highway department did hear a few welcome. words of praise. Miriam Harris complimented the quick response from maintenance crews that showed up the same afternoon on two separate occasions when culverts washed out on Route 637. She also complimented the immediate attention given by the highway department to damage caused by Vepco's power line work. Carson Johnson, former chairman of the county’s Highway Safety Committee, noted that the highway department had just finished improvements to parts of Route 600. “Our county department took a small crew of men, their own equipment Culpeper Art Co. 204 N.

The neat step in the process is a vote by the supervisors to adopt the sixyear plan. Askew said, however, that he wanted to set up another work session with the board on possible revisions to the plan before action is taken, presumably at the November meeting. He noted that most of the requests voiced at the public hearing were already included in the current six-year plan. “But I would like to have some input from the supervisors,” he added.

CLOSING OF THE BRIDGE at Sperryville has caused considerable controversy in the village. The deterioration of the bridge in addition to the severe storm damage prompted the action. A hearing on the eventual fate of the bridge will probably be scheduled in November. Eight Years As Deputy Commissioner (Continued from Page 1) can appraise that in between the four year’s time. Likewise, the new buildings. “We appraise all personal property. However, we do have a guide. On automobiles, we go by the blue book and we take the low figure. On cattle, we usually take the advice of three farmers—that’s the guideline we have for appraising cattle. “For household furniture and this type of thing, we take the owners word for it.” —Are the records in your office open to the public? Scoggin: “Some of them are and some of them aren’t. Anything in the land book or in the personal property book is of course public because they’re available in the clerk’s office as well as our office. Income tax forms and personal property forms are confidential. —What are your qualifications for commissioner of revenue? Scoggin: “This is my eighth year as deputy commissioner of revenue. I’ve had business law, college accounting, business management and secretarial science. I am a high school and business college graduate. Practically all of my education has been in business. “But I personally feel I’ve gained a lot more from the experience that I’ve had in working than I did in school. My eight years as deputy commission of revenue are the most important but prior to that I had many, many years of good experience. I graduated from high school in 1942 and I worked before I graduated in the principal’s office. I’ve been working ever since. There was one job with Ebasco Services a large engineering and management consulting firm that I’m particularly proud of. I worked in their Washington office as executive secretary and assistant to the Washington Business Development Representative. They were a very large company with headquarters in New York. They did a lot of foreign work. They had offices in Chicago, offices on the coast, in San Francisco, in Dallas and then smaller offices throughout the country. During that particular time, I must have worked with 200 management and engineering specialists and these were men that colleges called in as consultants. I feel like that was worth more and that I learned more in that particular job than in any other job I ever had or than I learned in school. In addition, I’ve been a legal secretary and an executive secretary to the vice-president of Hughes Development Companies, a group of corporations that built shopping centers, housing developments and office buildings throughout Texas. Prior to moving to Rappahannock, I was Full Charge Bookkeeper and Administrative Assistant to a Washington law firm. —The code stipulates additional duties of the commissioner of revenue that apparently aren’t being filled here. The code requires the commissioner or his deputy to attend all regular supervisor meetings and the two opening days of each circuit court session. In addition, it appears that the commissioner or deputy must spend at least one day at each voting place in the magisterial districts to help with filling out forms and to receive tax returns. Do you plan to fulfill these additional duties if elected? Scoggin: “I am quite willing to do anything that the code requires me to do. It sounds logical and workable and I can see it would eliminate some further follow-up work that we have to do. “The paper work in the office has increased to where it presents a real challenges for one or even two people to do it. I would say that this could be one of the reasons why some of the things haven’t been done. The money for the county does come from that paper work. That we can’t let go.

My personal feelings are that there is a lot of room for work shift that would improve things.” “—That brings up another question. What would you do to improve the efficiency of the office? This, of course, does not imply that the office is not run efficiently now. Scoggin: “There are a few small things that I can see where there’s room for improvement that I’ve been going over in my mind. “We have a lot of people coming into the office—more and more each year. This takes time from the paper work. It seems that the new people coming into the county are interested in what’s going on and they'll come in and ask questions and they'll look up their property and this type of thing. We have quite a bit of traffic. I think it’s a two person office and I think it’s extremely important to have a very good deputy. I can see openings for work shift —doing certain work at different times and starting at certain times. In other words, instead of waiting until everything is finished before we start on the land book, we could finish Wakefield District and then one of us could start on the book and then we could alternate. “Also there is a monotony factor that has to be dealt with. I’d want to divide the work equally so that one person wouldn’t have to be doing one type of work for too long. There is paper work in there that can become extremely boring if you stay with it—for even one day.” —Are there any duties of the commissioner of revenue that you haven’t handled during your eight years as deputy? Scoggin: “The only thing in the office that I haven’t done is to go out and look at a house and appraise it. However, I’ve had state appraisal courses. My husband’s been in construction; I’m familiar with construction. We do have guidelines to go by and we do have to more or less stay in line with the last appraisal. “We appraise them at a certain value and then we take 60 percent of that. But all that will change with the new assessment when we go to 100 percent of fair market value. —Will the job of commissioner of revenue be easier with assessments made at 100 percent of fair market value? Scoggin: “I don’t think it will be any easier. Of course, it will be up to the board of supervisors to set the tax rate. “In the last assessment, they appraised houses at 60 percent of value. Then, to assess that appraisal, they took 15 percent of the figure they used. Then for every $100 of that 15 percent, the property owner paid $4.20—that’s what it is now. "Of course, we don’t know what the rate will be in 1981.
