Road Work Added To Six-Year Plan By IMPHINE HITCHIINSON Rappahannock Nchk Staff W riter At a special Monday morning meeting, the Rappahanno9k supervisors agreed to add improvements to three county roads to the six-year secondary road plan with formal approval for the changes^et for the November 1 board meeting. After reviewing all requests made at the October public hearing on the plan with resident engineer Don Askew, the supervisors supported surface treatment for one and a half miles of Route 621 east of Route 522 at Woodville. According to Askew, the lower portion of Route 621 has been graded to a condition where it can be surface treated with little extra work. Askew noted that a stretch in the middle of 621 has had no improvement and pointed out that H. L. Manwaring has threatened to withdraw the right-of-way he donated for the lower portiotf of the road unless the entire road is paved. “1 think Mr. Manwaring will reconsider,” interjected supervisor Butch Eastham. Chairman E. P. Luke stated he had no objections to surface treating Route 621. “If what we’ve got there is going to wash away, let’s stabilize it,” he suggested. “I think it should be done,” agreed supervisor H. B. Wood, noting that the road had been improved for the purpose of surface treatment. Askew estimated that paving the ofte-and-a-half “Kiile stretch will post -a®* „ proximately $15,000. ?<‘We could add that on in the budget,” he said. The resident engineer reported that the current road budget contained no funds for major improvements to Route 680 back from Dennis’ Store but noted that some work could Candidates Speak By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock %«*hh Staff Writer Trash, drugs and overcrowding in the public schools were the main areas of concern covered in questions addressed to the candidates at last Wednesday’s forum sponsored by the Rappahannock Women’s Club. Over 150 persons packed the folding chairs and overflowed onto tables in the back of the Flint Hill fire hall to hear the political hopefuls address the issues. Bill Monroe, nationally known moderator of “Meet the Press,” was emcee for the evening, interjecting quips that brought chuckles from mm*'7} ■ U: ■ the audience in between candidate introductions. Both men running for commonwealth attorney, Peter Luke and Douglas Baumgardner, were on the podium along with commissioner of revenue candidates Merle Scoggin, Marilyn Bailey and Ruth Grimsley. Of the contenders for sheriff, only incumbent W. A. Buntin attended the forum. Frances Foster, unopposed for the office of treasurer, also participated. Most of the “ins” in the contests for supervisors stayed home. Missing were current office holders H. B. Wood, Garence Baldwin and Edwin “Butch” Eastham. Piedmont District opponents Cecil Baldwin and E. P. Luke, present supervisor chainnan, both attended as did challengers in Wakefield, Hampton and StonewallHawthorne Districts: Hubie.. Gilkey, Ellen Manson and Sean Kilpatrick. Supervisor Dick Latham, running unopposed in Jackson, was also on the fire hall stage to answer questions from constituents. “Unopposed and he’s here anyway,” remarked moderator Monroe. “I recommend everyone vote for him twice.” (Continued on Page 4) be done to correct dangerous spots on three hills. “We definitely should put some money in for that road,” Wood responded, particularly for laying gravel and installing a culvert to relieve flooding. “It needs gravel, widening, ditches—it 'needs everything,” said Anne Ellis, resident on Route 680. “If we had that $15,000 for 680, it’d be great...Culverts have been there for 50 years but they’re all stuck up with mud,” she told the supervisors. Askew agreed to put major improvements for 680 into the six-year road plan and to install culverts this fiscal year. "Let’s get the pipe in and we’ll go from there,” he said. For Route 637 in Jackson and Wakefield Districts, Askew suggested adding spot work to improve sight distances on hills to the sixyear plan if the necessary right-of-way can be obtained. He added that surface treatment for certain sections included in the current .Jejtr’s budget and will be started in the spring. Askew reported that the truss bridge on Route 637 is also scheduled for improvements in the six-year plan. "If there is a danger, we’ll have to take emergency action,” he said, promising to send the board a copy of the latest engineer’s report on the bridge. Askew reported on progress in addressing other MEET THE CANDIDATES a forum ^ by the Rappahannock County'wZrtSSZZZT* standing-room-only crowd at the Flmt Htfl Fire Hall last Wednesday. “This is better than television,” commented Bill Monroe (far left), commentator on TV’s award winning “Meet the Press” and moderator for the local candidates forum.

THE GORDON THORNHILL FAMILY has been recognized as the outstanding farm famiU in Rappahannock this year by the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District. At the annual dinner meeting Thursday of the conservation district, H. S. Barksdale, center, presented the family, Mr. and Mrs. Thornhill, left, and David, right, with a framed certificate. Farm Family Recognized The Gordon Thornhill family of Boston was recognized last week as the outstanding farm family in Rappahannock County. A certificate was presented the Thornhills at the dinner meeting Thursday of the Culpeper Water and Soil Conservation District held at Graves Lodge, Syria. Gordon Thornhill took over the farm family in 1949 after returning to the county from military service. He immediately introduced programs to produce more income then the subsistence agriculture previously practiced. Purchases of milk cows helped to fortify the farm income but it became necessary to produce more nutrients for these animals. He intensified the operation by clearing more fields for pasture and by using better fertilization programs to increase forage output. To increase corn yields, a drainage plan was put into use and these programs dramatically increased i Anti-smoking Programs Set As part of the “Great American Smokeout” on November 17, the Rappahannock Unit of the American Cancer Society will sponsor smoking , prevention programs for school children at the Rappahannock Elementary School, Rappahannock County High School and Wakefield Country Day School. Jim McGarvey from the county Mental Health Clinic will conduct the programs that are expected to reach 1,400 young people. “Free materials, including iron-on transfers for t-shirts and frog buttons carrying the slogan “Kiss me, I don’t smoke” wjll be provided by the Cancer Society for distribution. Programs are planned for November 13 at 1:15 and 2 p.m. at the elementary school and for November 15 at 9:45 a.m. at the high school. production, increased the income, and improved the land by reducing the top soil erosion. When the dairy business became too costly because of labor, beef cattle and swine were added and the labor was done by family participation. The two Thornhill sons, C. G. and David had been active in 4-H and had many champion swine in area shows. The use of pastures was intensified and a program of stockpiling fescue in late summer and early fall was initiated. One cutting of hay is produced from a pasture then the animals are turned into the pasture in late October and remain until late April. Usually only small amounts of hay are needed for these cows. Since the younger son, David, has returned to the farm, the Thornhills have expanded their operation and leased a 900 acre farm. The cow herd will be tripled in the next five years and the production of swine increased to 2000 per year. Gordon has always maintained other employment to help fortify his income. He served with the Virginia Artificial Breeding Association for ten years and has been employed at the Sperryville branch of the Culpeper Farmers’ Cooperative since 1%1. He is presently manager of that store so he has an opportunity to advise others on good soil conservation and management techniques. Gordon is a deacon and Sunday School superintendent of Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church and is president of the Rappahannock Farm Bureau. He is a member of Fairfax Lodge, No. 5, Knights Temple, Royal Arch No. 13 Chapter No. 25 in Culpeper, and Past Master of Washington Lodge No. 78. Mrs. Thornhill is the former Sally Frances Coates of Madison and in addition to their two sons, they have a daughter, Melanie.

NOV. 6 generation facilities being off line mean that each consumer’s bill will be from three-fourths of a penny to one full penny per kilowatt hour higher than if naclear power supplied part <Mthe electricity that consumers use, according to NPEC. Rural electric cooperatives in Virginia have adopted a three-mopths averaging to pass on fuel adjustment costs. “While this greatly benfits the consumer by eliminating the wild fluctuation of electric bills that were experienced two winters ago, it does mean that the higher bills will be assessed over more months. That means that higher bills will be with the consumer through most of the winter heating season and possibly into the spring,” according to NPEC. Using tne cooperative s figures, an electric bill that normally would be $100 could easily be $120. NPEC recommends that consumers plan for the additional expense and employ all conservation measures to keep bills under control. Advice on conservation is available from Northern Piedmont Electric Cooperative by calling 8258373.

Good weather added to the enjoyment of the field of more than 50. -Local Election (Continued from Page 1) stockholders from serving on commissions studying the utility. Incumbent State Senator Nathan Miller is seeking reelection to the seat he has held since 1975. Prior to his term as State Senator, the Republican candidate served two terms in the Virginia House of Delegates as a representative from the 16th District. Miller, a native of Rockingham County, earned a law degree in 1969 from the T. C. Williams School of Law of the University of Richmond. He is currently a partner in the Harrisonburg law firm of Conrad, Litten, Sipe and Miller. Miller supports limited government, a sound fiscal policy for Virginia and a balanced budget. He is an opponent of the Equal Rights Amendment and collective bargaining by public employees. Miller has said that he is favorably inclined towards removing the present sales tax from food and nonprescription drugs if an alternative means of securing revenue can be found. W. E. “Ernie” Schlabach, Democratic challenger for Miller’s Senate seat, sees himself as representing the “regular, average person out there trying to make a living.” Schlabach’s work experience includes a stint as janitor in a hospital when he was only 14 years old. He’s also been a painter, school teacher, relief driver for Frito-Lay, farm worker and employee in a laundry. “I know how the average working man exists,” said Schlabach. A graduate of Eastern Mennonite College, he attended the Southern College of Optometry in Memphis, Tennessee, and has maintained an optometry practice in Harrisonburg since 1969. Schlabach became a candidate for Senate because “in order to have good How to bum up your debris without burning down the forest. Clear area 10 feet around fire. llFDoiftbum j on a windy U3JI Dont leave • fire unattended PS. Don’t forget to check with local fire officials for a permit.1 government, you have to have two people running. When nobody else stepped up, I decided I would do it as my service to the community.” Schlabach supports 100 per cent funding of per pupil expenditures by the State Board of Education and is opposed to state mandates for education without funds to provide the required services. He has also pledged to work for enabling legislation that will allow localities the option of direct election of school board members. In a speech made in Rappahannock on July 4th, Schlabach promised to meet with all local boards of supervisors and as many town councils as possible before election day. “I kept that promise in three months time and, if elected, I will continue to meet regularly with local governments. This is my commitment to the people. That’s what representation is all about. I'll also bring information back to the local supervisors from Richmond,” Schlabach pledged. In contests for seats on the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors, only J. R. Latham from Jackson District is running unopposed. In Hampton, Clarence Baldwin, proprietor of Baldwin’s Grocery in Washington, will face Ellen Manson, a registered nurse with a master’s degree in nursing who is currently employed by the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville. Baldwin has served on the board for six years. Mrs. Manson, a resident of Washington, is treasurer of both the Washington Business Council and the Washington Volunteer Fire Department and Rerscue Squad. Piedmont District supervisor E. P.

When the time comes to sell, put yourself in the buyer’s shoes. He’s in the same financial boat and will want the most house he can get for the money. Frankly, the stakes are too high to play to do-it-yourself game in this monetary arena. The best advise is - let an expert sell it. “But why a Realtor, when I can sell it myself and save the commission?" you may ask. “Right?".... WRONG! The average buyer is far from naive. Before you even start serious negotiations, he’ll expect you to deduct the Broker's commission for HIS benefit.

NOVEMBER 1. 1979 Performance Tested when you fing a product that gives 100 percent satisfaction, you don't switch brands. The same applies to office holders. In next Tuesday s elections, the Rappahannock News endorses George Beard for delegate and William A. Buntin for sheriff because we’re satisified with their performances. W illiam A. Buntin There a few county sheriffs throughout the state more qualified for the job than Buntin. He served with distinction in the V irginia State Police for 20 years, his entire tour of duty spent in Rappahannock. He knows the law enforcement problems faced by the countv and he has the training to deal with the problems. His record over the past three and a half years as sheriff demonstrates his competence in law enforcement. According to the 1978 edition of '"Crime in Virginia.” compiled by the Uniform Crime Reporting Section of the Department of State Police. Rappahannock has one of the lowest crime rates in the area with 1 7.60 “part one or serious offenses committed per 1.000 population. By comparison. Orange County has 25.13 offenses per 1.000 population. Culpeper 21.81 and W arren 44.70. Buntin has acknowledged that follow-up investigations on breaking and enterings need attention. W ith the hiring of an additional deputy in July. Buntin now has more staff to devote more time to investigations. It's too early to tell if the new man has made a difference in improving the rate of offenses solved and cleared from the books. The state crime report print-out is done on a six months basis with the figures for July through December not scheduled to be released until after the first of the year. Buntin. predicts the cleared rate will improve and we trust his judgement. The hiring of the new deputy brought the staff of the sheriff’s department up to the number approved by the State Board of Compensation for salary reimbursement. Even with an understaffed department, however. Buntin made gains in the investigation of breaking and entertainings. From January to June. 1077 SI 0.0,2 worth of .property was stolen with $1,756 worth recovered, a recovery rate of little over 10 per cent. From January to June of 1979, $9,000 worth of property was stolen and $5,423 recovered, a recovery rate of over 60 per cent. In addition to the performance of his department on paper, Buntin has show n himself to be compassionate and understanding with the problems youngsters face, with the special problems of the elderly, with emergencies in the life of each average citizen. He is available to county residents day and night, seven days a week and devotes full-time to the duties of sheriff. For all these reasons, we urge voters to return Sheriff William A. Buntin to office on Tuesday. George Beard Let us also send George Beard back to Richmond. Reports from the capital indicate he enjoys non-partisan support from Democrats and Republicans alike. In his first term as delegate from the 25th district, he gained respect and deference awarded to few freshman legislators. Beard, a Republican, is facing no challenge from Democrats for reelection. This lack of opposition from the other party appears to indicate that the Culpeper banker and former school board member is doing a good job representing ALL the voters. What higher accolade can a politician earn? We know he’s been responsive to constituents here in Rappahannock. George Beard is never further away than a phone call and has been available to help citizens with a wide variety of problems. He has also managed to find the right balance between listening and being led around by the nose bv special interest groups. Once they’ve tasted power, there are many office holders who can’t live without it. They’d rather starve than return to the bland diet of the average fellow. Not George Beard. After two years in Richmond with the folks who call the shots in state government, he's come back to the 25th district free of selfimpotance. He’s still unassuming, friendly and approachable and we think he’ll stay that wav for two years and longer. The re-election of George Beard on November 6 will keep a friend for Rappahannock in Richmond. Women Can Help Women A woman is —somebody’s daughter, somebody’s sister, somebody’s wife (or ex-wife), somebody’s mother or somebody’s widow. Daughters deal with adult responsibilities and parents who are growing older. Sisters work to develop an adult relationship with siblings while attempting to put to rest the sibling rivalry of the growing up years. Wives face a multitude of decisions - such as, should I work, must I work, should my contribution to our ntarriage be homemaker or career person or possibly both? Wives also face questions of how to be a helpmate without giving up personal identity. Mother is an umbrella word for maid, nurse, chauffeur, social worker, and teacher, among others. No woman who is now raising, or has already raised, children has to be told that this role of woman is both fulfilling and frustrating. Divorce and remarriage in today’s society have thrust additional roles on women. Different and sometimes non-traditional roles are imposed when marriages end and mothers gain sole custody of their children or inherit through remarriage the title of stepmother and the responsibility of stepchildren. When a mother’s children are grown, how does she adapt to a now “empty nest”? When a wife becomes a widow, more changes occur and again adjustments must be made. Who would know best the problems that women face? Who can best give support and advice to women having 1 problems? (Men, of course.) Women who are dealing with or have resolved “women’s problem”, really. The Rappahannock Mental Health Clinic would like to provide a meeting place and resource information for a group of women who are interested in meeting to discuss women’s problems or today’s issues from a woman’s point of view, or to share ideas or give support to other women experiencing problems. Please call the Clinic at 675-3329 to let us know if you would be interested in forming such a group. Employment Rate Shows 6.1% Rise Unemployment in the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District (PD-9) continues to be below the national average and the employment rate in Fauquier County has risen significantly. The Virginia Employment Commission says that in September the unemployment rate in PD-9 stood at 3.6 per cent of the civilian labor force, contrasted with rates of 4.5 per cent for Virginia and 5.6 per cent for the nation. Fauquier, Culpeper, Orange, Madison and Rappahannock Counties are included in PD-9. In September, there were 1500 more persons employed in PD-9 than in the same month last year. Fauquier and Orange counties showed the greatest increases in employment rates—6.1 per cent and 7.5 per cent respectively—over last year. Employment in Culpeper County increased by 1.2 per cent over last year while there was no change in Madison County. Rappahannock County experienced a 7.3 per cent decrease in employment. Of the 17,556 persons in the labor force here, only 509 were jobless in September, giving Fauquier County a 2.9 per cent unemployment rate, the lowest in PD-9.

All candidates were given the opportunity to respond to every question. Commonwealth Attorney In opening remarks, Peter Luke focused on experience, describing it as the single most important issue delineating him from his opponent, Douglas Baumgardner. “I was a police officer in Virginia Beach for six months,” Luke said, explaining that he worked two summers in a special program run by the University of Virginia law school. As part of duties both while walking a beat and driving a police cruiser, Luke continued, he wrote tickets, made arrests and testified in court. “I came to understand the problems police have in day-to-day enforcement,” he said, adding that this experience would aid him in establishing a good working relationship with the sheriffs department. Luke noted that he was also the only candidate with actual experience as a prosecutor in criminal cases. “Prosecution is different from any othe area of the law (because) the burden of proof is always on the commonwealth...The defense has no burden of proof. Defense primarily consists of attacking the prosecution’s case, of picking holes in it.” As commonwealth attorney, a prosecutor must “start with the facts and build a solid case on top of it,” Luke continued. Equally as important, he said the commonwealth attorney must be able to “effectively and convincingly present a case to the judge and jury.” Luke concluded by promising to apply the law “equally and evenly to every person in the county” if elected. Commonwealth attorney candidate Douglas Baumgardner promised to work for a more efficient and effective criminal justice system in the county. To do this, he said he would eliminate the current contested day, one day in every month on which all contested cases are tried. In its place, Baumgardner said he would like to see cases tried on a weekly basis. “That way, I could devote more time to each individual case,” he explained. Baumgardner also said he would work closely with law enforcement agencies, particularly the sheriff’s department, to improve the criminal justice system. “I would make myself available on a regular basis...to give advice on any subject.” In the area of the commonwealth attorney’s responsibility to act as legal advisor to the county, Baumgardner said he would base his opinions “exclusively on the law and the facts.” Drug Law Enforcement Robert Eastham, member of the Rappahannock School Board, asked the candidates, if they would use the full resources of the commonwealth attorney’s office to enforce drug laws. He maintained that the use of illegal drugs has increased dramatically, especially in the last three years. Noting that the county spends 75 percent of its tax dollars on schools, Eastham claimed that “a large part of that money will be going down a rat hole” if the drug traffic into the schools isn’t stopped. "I pledge myself unequivically to enforcing not only the drug laws but all the laws of the state,” Luke responded. He added, however, that he didn’t think there was “a drug epidemic” sweeping Rappahannock's public schools. “When we use the term ‘drugs’ I would include alcohol as a drug,” Luke continued. “I think it might be a bigger problem.” If sufficient evidence exists, Luke promised to follow through on all drug cases to the best of his ability to see a conviction. “That goes without saying. Laws are to be enforced as written,” he said. Baumgardner also pledged “vigorous enforcement and prosecution” of drug laws, adding that he believed drug use had increased dramatically in recent years. Eastham also asked Luke to explain what duties his wife, attorney Sharon Genebach Luke, would have if Luke was elected commonwealth attorney. “Would you appoint your wife acting commonwealth attorney? Why is that a proper position for someone who wasn’t elected?” Eastham asked. "I don’t intend to abrogate any responsibilities to my wife,” Luke responded. “If elected, I will prosecute each case myself.” He added that (Continued on Page 6) Control Growth To the editor: At the recent forum sponsored by the Rappahannock Women’s Gub, all the political candidates declared themselves for “controlled” growth. “I asked, “What are the legal obstacles to a no-growth policy?”, a question which inspired the lady next to me to whisper loudly, “Naive!” Only Col. Pete Luke volunteered an answer. He said that a no-growth policy is unconstitutional. He stated that we MUST have growth. To the best of my knowlege, there is no article in either the State or Federal constitution which says that any city, town, county or state must grow. By ‘unconstitutional’, did Mr. Luke mean a tradition of Court decisions? What are the legal issues raised in these decisions? To suggest a no-growth policy does not mean that we “lock the gates to newcomers." It would mean that newcomers wait till there’s a vacancy. First come, first serve—just as an apartment building keeps a waiting list when its facilities are full. Isn’t it just as reasonable to determine the desired population capacity of a geographical area as it is of a building? This immediately raises the question of the size of our own families. Is there any legal obstacle to declaring, by referendum, a citizen desire to stabilize population and therefore a publicly stated recommendation on family size? Mr. Luke pointed out there are two sides to this question: Club Lauded To the editor: I feel the Rappahannock Garden Gub members need to be praised for placing the beautiful geraniums at the door of our lovely old Courthouse. They have been admired not only by the citizens of our town and county but by visitors to our county seat. It is remarkable how they have survived the snow and frost this fall and are still bright and beautiful. , I hope that other organization and buisnesses in Rappahannock will follow by placing flowers in front of the county buildings and businesses another year to make Rappahannock County even more beautiful. RUBY JENKINS People and property. Perhaps the more important front to control is new property. Is there any legal obstacle to a policy which limits new buildings to the number of buildings torn down? Is there: any legal obstacle to making; an exception for our own children? 1 In raising these questions I am not advocating these policies, not without understanding more of their implications. But I am trying to understand the legal constraints within which the growth issue must be considered. If anything is “naiye”, isn’t it to assume that we cajt have uncontrolled growth year after year without, sooner or later, transforming Rappahannock County into something resembling Arlington, Fairfax or Prince Georges? CARLA EUGSTER Woodville Food Labeling Dear Consumer: Would you like to voice your opinion about food labeling, generic drugs, food additives and other consumer issues? You have the opportunity to do this by attending the Food and Drug Administration’s local Consumer Exchange Meeting which will be held in April 1980 in Culpeper. At this meeting you will be able to be heard by the District Director of FDA, Investigators from the District Office and Director of the District Laboratory. This is your opportunity to express yourself to those who have the authority to make changes. To receive further information, contact me at the Rappahannock Extension Office. NANCY B. SECRIST Extension Agent On The Market To the editor: I learn with sorrow, but no surprise, that the ski area real estate has been placed on the market. Though there is still a remote hope that the area might be reopened for skiing, this appears to be quite unlikely. As so often happens, we could not get the various parts of the act together at one time. When Camelback and Pico Peak had an agreement for a joint venture the zoning was in a tangle. By the time the Board of Supervisors cleared up the zoning, Pico Peak had lost interest. Roundtop then got interested, but their interest was subject to a much larger plan which, though excellent in concept, is terribly expensive. The various adverse events in the interest and energy areas this year appear to be too difficult to overcome. Whether this is a good or bad result for Camelback from a financial standpoint will never be known. From an emotional standpoint, I am certainly unhappy at the result. I truly believe this area could be one of the nicest in the East, and it would have been an interesting combination of fun and headaches to reopen it. I also cpntinue to think it would have been a gieat benefit to the citizens of Rappahannock County. I want to thank the many fine people of the County who supported the project and devoted a lot of time and effort in trying to help us get it going again. No effort can be wholly written off as a loss when you have made as many good friends as I have in the last few years. JAMES A. MOORE President Camelback Ski Corporation Tannersville, Pa.

First duty of the newly elected community committee members will be to serve as delegates to elect members of the county ASC committee. This is an important occasion for the responsible farmer-chosen team of ASC community committee members who will help administer government programs. The ASC community committee election will He conducted by mail from Nov. 23 to Dec. 3. By turning in a total of six or more petitions, farmers in each ASC community have the opportunity to prepare the slate of nominees themselves. It is hoped that farmers will submit enough valid petitions to fill the slate. Shortly after Oct. 29, all petitions will be reviewed. If six or more valid petitions have been received for an ASC community, the county ASCS office will prepare a slate containing the names .. all eligible nominees. If less than six valid petitions are received for any ASC community, the incumbent community committee will add nominees needed to complete the slate. In order to submit a valid petition, three or more ASC farm voters must sign a statement endorsing an eligible candidate. The statement must include certification that the nominee will serve if elected. Petitions must be dated and mailed or hand-delivered to the county ASC office no later than October 29. The opportunity to nominate, vote, and be elected to office in the upcoming ASC committee election is guaranteed to all farmers regardless of race, religion, sex, color, or national origin. Tax Change May Prevent Farm Loss Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson said last week that congressional hearings scheduled for next month “give hope that Congress may be moving toward correction of an unwise estate tax action which could threaten the continuity of family farm ownership”. ‘Carryover basis’ is a term little understood outside tax lawyer and accountant circles, but this principle, written into the so-called Tax Reform Act of 1976, could defeat the efforts of farm families to keep their agricultural homesteads in the hands of children and grandchildren when the elders die,” the 7th District Representative warned in speaking at the annual meeting of the Shenandoah County Farm Bureau at the W. W. Robinson Elementary School in Woodstock on Saturday. “It is heartening that Chairman A1 Ullman of the House Ways and Means Committee finally has recognized the breadth of conern about his tax law change and has set hearings to start November 13,” he said, adding: “Although I am not a member of the committee, I am one of the sponsors of a bill to repeal the carryover basis, and I intend to file a statement at the hearing. “The 1976 provision is due to go into effect with respect to estates of persons dying after December 31 of this year. It would mean that heirs of peoperty, including forms, would be required, when selling all or part, to pay capital gains fax based on the difference between the value when first acquired by the deceased party—probably many years back—and the price received at sale. “The old law, to which I believe we should return, would determine the gain to be the difference between the value when the property was inherited and when it was sold. That was regarded as a ‘tax loophole’ for the wealthy by those who pushed through the change in 1976. But, with farmland prices at present levels, a family does not need great wealth, in real terms, to get caught in the ‘carryover basis’ trap, particularly when transactions between heirs are necessary if someone in the family is to be able to continue farming the home place.” In addition to House committee hearings, Robinson noted that the Senate had tacked a repealer of the "carryover basis” provision to its version of the oil windfall profits legislation. “This reflects a favorable position of the Senate on the matter, but I doubt that the House would be willing to deal with the problem without hearings by its own tax committee,” he said. carrying case or FREE oil and file ♦15995 Saws and Wood Splitters available to rent • Wraparound Chain Brake/Hand Guard • Vibration isolated handies • 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 -/W— Chain Saws from McCulloch.

-Candidates Speak (Continued from Page 4) his wife Sharon would be available to assist with routine legal matters in an emergency situation or should Luke be out of the county. “As for precedent, look to any other county in Virginia,” Luke said, noting that non-elected assistants inthe commonwealth attorney’s office do much of the legal work in other counties. "She’s not hired for it,” East ham countered. “But she’s not getting paid for it either,” Luke answered. If Luke is elected, his wife will be barred from taking criminal cases in Rappahannock under Virginia Bar Association regulations, she may become the only lawyer in the county not handling criminal cases here and possibly the only lawyer available to take over any duties of the commonwealth attorney’s office without a potential conflict of interest. “Or the county could hire someone from outside,” Luke added. He stipulated, however, that he would remain in Rappahannock the majority of the time if elected commonwealth attorney so the possibilites of his wife assuming any duties would be remote. Gun Laws Rappahannock game warden Jim Bankston asked the two candidates for commonwealth attorney if they would favor a local ordinance requiring rifles and shotguns to be either dismantled or eased in motor vehicles on public roads. “That goes to the heart of the commonwealth attorney’s role as legal advisor to the board of supervisors,” answered Baumgardner. He declined to give his opinion on a cased gun ordinance, adding that it wasn’t proper tfor him to state policy. “If the super visors want to enact such a Iw, it would be my job to cooperate in seeing the ordinance was properly drafted,’’ Baumgardner added. Luke stated that he and Baumgardner both agreed the commonwealth attorney should keep a “lower profile,” adding that the commonwealth attorney did not have a vote on the board of supervisors. Should the supervisors want a sheathed gun ordinance, Luke said he would draft the law and prosecute violations. In response to a question on litter law enforcement and the county’s trash problems, Luke noted that he had been one of the only Virginia Beach police officers to consistently make arrests for littering. When they see a litter violation, individuals have a tendency to cry “Where are the police?” Where are the police?” Luke continued. Law officers “can’t be everywhere...It’s the duty of a good citizen, if you see a crime committed, you have the right to swear out a warrant. If I’m commonwealth attorney, I’ll go as far with that case as I can. I’ll back you up (with prosecution of litter violations)” he pledged. Sheriff’s Race Incumbent W. A. Buntin, running against John Walker Jenkins and Marshall Corbin was the only sheriff candidate to participate in the forum. “My qualifications for the job are the main reason I’m running,” said Buntin, noting that he’d been a state V o T E F 0 R E X P E R 1 E N C E It has been a pleasure serving the County as Deputy Commissioner of the Revenue for the past eight years. It would be a greater privilege to serve the people as COMMISSIONER in the future. I would be most grateful for your vote. MERLE SCOGGIN By authority of the Candidate PAID POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT trooper stationed in Rappahannock for 29 years and sheriff of the county for the past three and a half years. Buntin reported that the mileage traveled by the sheriffs department had been reduced by 20,000 during his administration while at the same time, the number of legal papers served increased from 500 in his first year in office to 1,000 currently. In addition, Buntin noted that his department had stayed within its budget during his term, pointing out that $3,800 in sheriff department funds had been left over in the 1978-79 budget. "I’ve heard a little criticism from some people about my staying in the office too much of the time,” Buntin said. “We only have a part-time secretary so I have to stay there to fill in when she’s not available,” he explained. “Will you make a public commitment that if reelected, you’ll use the full resources of the office of sheriff of Rappahannock County to enforce the drug laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia?” asked Robert Eastham, noting that he was speaking as a member of the Rappahannock school board. “I’ve always had a good working relationship with the schools,” Buntin responded. “I have talked to both principals and the superintendent and they have assured me that they’ve reported every (drug) case to us and have gotten good results. It’s true that we have an increased drug problem in Rappahannock. There’s an increased drug problem in Virginia, in probably the whole United States. I don’t think it’s nearly as bad here as it is in other places.” "If re-elected, I will continue to bring every case to the proper conclusion,” Buntin pledged, noting that some cases are handled entirely by the schools. “We usually do what the principals request,” he added. Asked by Keaton Barnes what could be done about litter problems, Buntin answered that his department has recently given more time to trash ordinance enforcement. He noted that three warrants have been issued in the past few weeks, with two of the cases still pending and one dismissed. In the instance of the dismissal, Buntin continued, the complaining witness failed to appear in court. "You do have to have a witness, someone to come to court and back you up,” he said. The sheriff added that enforcement of trash laws would be aided by posting the county’s litter ordinance at the dumpster sites so citizens would know what Buy the most efficient heat pump on the market and ... ylv Coleman We’ll give you the indoor section...

Hampton District “This is my first political speech ever and I hoped it would never have to happen. I prayed for snow last week,” began Ellen Manson, candidate for supervisor from Hampton District. Manson, a nurse and resident of Washington who moved to Rappahannock four and a half years ago, said she’d decided to run for supervisor “because I’m really interested in what happens in this county.” She cited her past experience and education as qualifications for the administrative responsibilities of a county supervisor. “I’m very organized, I’m pretty good at debate and very good at problem solving. I’m familiar with the state bureaucratic system and good at manipulating within its bounds,” said Manson, adding that she was also experienced at formulating budgets. “I would want to know what the voters think.before coming to any decision and I would act in the best interests of the county as a whole,” she pledged. Manson agreed that trash is a big problem in the Rappahannock. “The dumpsters are probably the biggest problem,” she said. “The only way to really contain it would be to fence the dumpsters and post a guard. I don’t know if that’s practical or if we can afford ' it.” As for her position on adoption of a cased gun ordinance, Manson said “Personally, I’m for any law that stops people from hunting from cars but I would have to check with my constituents bfefore voting.” In response to a question on the qualit)\of education in Rappahannock, Manson said she’d found this to be the main area of concern among county residents. “People know their taxes will have to go up to get better schools,” she maintained. If elected, Manson pledged that she would spend tax dollars in education “for the right priorities and the school board has to let us know what they are.” Manson also stated that she was for controlled growth. “But we do have to do what’s legal. We can’t lock the doors,” she concluded. Piedmont District Supervisor candidate Cecil Baldwin, who operates the Shell station in Sperryville and is an active member of the rescue squad there, said she would like to learn more about what goes on in Rappahannock County, particularly in regard to the public school system and county zoning ordinances. If elected, she pledged to represent the wishes of her constituents. Current supervisor chairman E. P. Luke stated that he has tried to represent the best interests of the people in Piedmont District during his six years on the board. Luke, a retired Air Force officer and graduate of VPI with a masters degree from the University of Chicago, noted that he has served on the county planning commission and the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission while a supervisor. In political philosophy, Luke said he is a conservative and endorsed the “tight ship” fiscal policy that has kept the county’s tax rat" stable. “I support our zoning and subdivision ordinances because they give us some control on growth,” he said. “I’m always available to discuss public business,’’ Luke continued. As an example, he pointed to the public hearing he’d scheduled for November 1 in order to “get a consensus on WARM UP TO AN ASHLEY now only s28000 Rt. 1, Box 60, Nether* Sporryville, Vo. 22740 703-987-8005 “In The Shadow of Old Rag” what position I should take” on the closing of the Thorton River bridge. “To set the record straight, it’s been going around that I closed the bridge. It was the highway department’s decision to close that bridge,” Luke noted. “I wish the supervisors had that kind of power,” he added with a laugh. Responding to charges that the supervisors have taken no action to relieve overcrowding in the schools, Luke maintained that the board sent capital outlay proposals back to the school board to solve “practical problems—what we’re going to buy and how much it will cost.” “We’ve got to have facts,” he said, specifically projections on the growth rate of the school-aged population. “I’m for enlarging the schools. I think they need improving but we need figures,” Luke maintained, adding that a committee was now working informally to complete a cost analysis and develop alternatives on school expansion. “The problem is with the school board,” Luke concluded, adding that the supervisors had questioned the school board on capital improvement plans for the past several years. In regard to quality of education, Luke noted that Rappahannock public schools produced both dropouts and Phi Beta Kappas and Rhodes Scholars with the same teachers, books and classrooms. “A lot of it is motivation and a lot of that starts at home,” he said. “The trash problem is something I hear about every day,” Luke said in response to a question on litter control. “We’re getting very little public cooperation. No one wants a dumpster near their property,” he said. Finding highway department right-of-way on which to place dumpsters isn’t that easy since most of the rightof-way located at any distance from a residence has reverted back to private ownership, according to Luke. “If there’s no private land and no public land, it puts the board in the position of having to condemn (land for dumpster sites),” he said. “That’s not an action we want to take.” He noted that the sheriffs department wasn’t getting much cooperation from the courts in pursuing litter violations. Luke reported that a man recently found guilty of dumping a truck load full of trash on the ground was fined only $15. “That’s peanuts.” he remarked. Luke added that the county’s trash ordinance prohibits the disposal of burnables and garbage in the dumpsters. “Ninety percent of the people in this room put those items in,” he maintained. In regard to development in Rappahannock, Luke said he was for controlled growth. “I think we’ve had that. The problem we face is not just growth but...property rights. We have to weight growth versus property rights...I don’t think we can keep people out.” Luke maintained that Rappahannock has growth “under control so far,” adding that the county’s tax rate was reasonable because of growth controls. A policy of “no growth” is unconstitutional, according to Luke. “We can’t stop people from coming into the county...or stop people from selling their property.” He noted that the county’s allowance of only large-lot development tended to control growth. “But it goes against young people being able to afford a place to live,” he added. Asked what the supervisors have done to benefit senior citizens, Luke replied that the tax burden on the elderly had been reduced through the board’s success at keeping the cost of county government down. In the area of gun controls, Luke said that he had voted against a proposed ordinance that would have made it illegal to carry a loaded rifle or shotgun in a motor vehicle or walking on public right-ofway. He did so, he said, because of concern over search and seizure. Luke said he is opposed to “opening up to all police people” the right to “go poking around in somebody’s car.” Farmers who have problems with ground hogs and stray dogs are opposed to both sheathed and unleaded gun laws, according to Luke. “We’ve got personal property rights to consider," he added. Stonewall-Hawthome District Supervisor candidate Sean Kilpatrick, a free lance writer and father of two children in Rappahannock public schools, said he has spent 10 years in the news business covering local government all over the state. “I’m familiar with I don’t know how many zoning and subdivision ordinances. I’m familiar with the problems other counties have faced and we are now facing in this county. This gives me an extra benefit, an extra way of looking at things, an extra way of solving problems.” In addressing the school issue, Kilpatrick noted that the supervisors “can almost do nothing legally” except to either approve or cut the budget presented by the school board. “The flow has to come from the school board to spend more money on the schools,” he stated. According to Kilpatrick, the county high school was “packed to the gills” when it first opened with later additions of classroom space doing nothing to improve the situation. “It’s hopelessly overcrowded,” he maintained. “The high school needed to be expanded four years ago and nothing was done. The elementary school needs to be expanded today.” Kilpatrick noted that state pressure to provide two additional classrooms at the elementary school may result in the purchase of two temporary units there for next year. “That’s two more temporary classrooms plus the three already added at the high school this year,” he said. Spending money for trailers to be used as temporary classrooms is “money poured down the drain (because) four years ago no one had the guts to look forward and say we’ve got to expand these schools,” Kilpatrick said. He asked school board member Robert Eastham for the current status of the school system’s capital improvements program. “Nonsense Talk” Noting that he was not on the board “when the hassle took place last spring,” Eastham said he’d been shown the crowded conditions at the high school that day by superintendent William Bloomer. “It’s not a dead issue,” he stated. Unlike the candidates on the ’ speaker’s platform, Eastham said, “I’m not running for office...I damn well can tell the truth because I don’t need anybody’s vote.” Calling for input from parents, (Continued on Page 14) Paid Political Adverisement VOTE HUBERT GILKEY III for SUPERVISOR from WAKEFIELD DISTRICT “I will bring government back to the people.” HubieGilkey By the Authority of the Candidate Cwas the night before Christ ms And all through the house, Not a creature was stirring, Not even a muse. i/ind as dad was asleep On his face was a look Of peace as he held cbse Mis Christmas Club book. “Che 5'a% interest farmers and Merchants would pay Meant a 5ia% happier St. Nicholas 'Day.

Cross Country Runners Improve The 1979-80 cross country season ended last week for the Rappahannock Panthers with runners showing steady improvement and finishing with an improved record over last year. “The season started in August but the team was late getting organized,” said coach Mike Kimble, new at RCHS this year as both history teacher and cross country coach. “The runners started off slow but they improved steadily. With each meet, I noticed an improvement in each and every runner.” “Ron Doughtery and Jimmy Tomko showed the greatest improvement,” said Kimble. He noted that it was difficult for Ann Thomas, Ronda Wiley and Jennifer Raney to compete against boys but praised the effort that the girls showed. “They Paid Political Advertisement 'X To Jackson District Voters Thank you for your support in the coming election.

Kimble, a former high school cross country runner who competed in college track in the half mile, one mile and two mile events, said the team shows great promise for next year with Sharp Apple A Winner A Mutsie apple entered by Rappahannock orchardist George Sharp won honors for the largest apple in the Farmers and Merchants National Bank’s Annual Big Apple Shw held October 24.

"It’s just a matter of getting to it,” Askew said. Improvements to sections of Route 616 are included as projects for this year and 1980-81 in the six-year plan, Askew continued. “When we revise the plan two years hence, we’ll pick up some more,” he said. The resident engineer reported that work on Route 621 west of Route 522 is progressing. “We put pipe in last weekend and ditched it two months ago. We still have additional work to do,” Askew said. “Do you anticipate getting to it real soon?” asked Wood. “If the weather holds out, yes,” Askew answered. He noted that the six-year plan includes $50,000 worth of work on Route 621 during the current fiscal year.

He told the supervisors that reconstruction of the bridge at Rock Mills is now under way. He added that he didn’t know what could be done to prevent future flooding in that area. “That’s something we have to live with,” Askew maintained. Improvements to the road leading to Peyton Farms ^re in the six-year plan, Askew said, adding that he will soon meet with residents from the area in an attempt to work out right-of-way problems. ‘‘What about Chester Gap?” asked Eastham. “We have a contract, thank the Lord,” Askew replied. He added that he doubted whether Rider Construction Company of Warrenton, low bidders on the road project, would try to do much this winter. With the consensus of the board to add improvements on Routes 621, 680 and 637 to the six-year plan, supervisor Dick Latham asked if Askew would “skim a little off all projects” to raise the necessary funds. Askew replied that it won’t be necessary to take money from other work already approved in the plan. “We've got a little built-in flexibility," he said. In conclusion, Askew told the board members that he would have the revised sixyear plan ready for approval by the supervisors at their November 1 meeting.

j Storm Damages Are Deductible By DAVID L. KOMCK Rappahannock News Special Writer As county residents ponder the machinations of this fall’s unusual weather extremes while rebuilding washed out roads and bridges and clearing tree limbs, it is appropriate to consider the federal income tax consequences of our recent floods and freak snow storm. Taxpayers are entitled to deduct casualty losses provided'the requirements of Section 165 of 'the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 are met. Losses from fire,storm, shipwreck or other casualties are allowable deductions although such losses are not connected with a trade or business. Casualty losses involving property used in trade or business of held in a transaction entered into for profit are deductible to'the extent of the decline in fair market value of the property or" the amount of the adjusted basis (original cost less previous deductions for depreciation, etc.) whichever amount is less. Casualty losses involving non-business personal property must be greater than $100 per casualty and are deductible to'the extent of 'the adjusted basis or the decline in fair market value, whichever is less, minus the $100 exclusion. In order to substantiate a Building? •Paint •Lumber •MiHwork •Hardware * Complete One-Step BUILDING SUPPLY Warrenton Building Material Co., Inc. on the By-Pass Warrenton 347-1400 casualty loss deduction ' the burden of proof is on the taxpayer to show (1) he was the owner of the property at the time of'the loss; (2)'the loss was sustained as a result of a casualty; (3)'the cost or adjusted basis of the property; (4)'the fair market value of ' the property immediately before and after the casualty; (5)'the amount of insurance proceeds or other compensation or reimbursement received or recoverable or'that no claim for reimbursement or compensation can be made. The term “casualty” includes hurricanes, tornados, floods, storms, ' shipwrecks, fires or accidents for purposes of Section 165. The casualty must be the direct cause of actual physical damage to' the property in order to be deductible. For example, no deduction is allowed for "economic damage" to a property’s value following a flood due to prospective buyer’s resistance to purchasing ' the property based upon knowledge' that the property is subject to flood damages. In the event of a partial loss, it must be emphasized that' the measure of damages is not' the repair cost, but rather the difference in fair market value immediately before and after the casualty. This amount must be determined by a competent appraisal. In some cases, the repair cost may be regarded as acceptable evidence of ' the decline in value if 'the following conditions are met: (1) the repairs are necessary to restore the property to its pre-casualty condition; (2) the amount spent on repairs is not “excessive;” (3) the repairs do not cover more than the damage suffered from' the casualty; and (4) the value of' the property after the repairs is not greater than its value before the casualty. Similarly the cost of removal of debris may be considered a measure of damages to'the property for which a casualty loss is allowable. Paid Political Advertisement RE-ELECT FRANCES A.

By authority of the candidate To The Voters of Hampton District I am a candidate for re-election to the office of Supervisor for the Hampton Magisterial District of Rappahannock County. I have served on the Board of Supervisors for the past six years I believe that my experience will be an asset to me in representing the people of Hampton District during the next four years.

Baldwin Supervisor—Hampton District Farming losses are generally non-deductible. The loss of a prospective crop being grown is not deductible on' the theory that such losses are speculative and that the expenses of growing* the crop are deductible expenses. Similarly, losses of livestock bred and raised on the farm are not deductible. Damages to fences, stock pens, barns and other outbuildings, are deductible Damages to'shade trees or ornamental 'shrubbery from snow or ice storms are deductible based upon ’ the decrease of the fair market value of the entire property. In the case of fruit trees, the loss is measured by'the difference between ' the fanmarket value of the trees (not including the fruit) before and immediately after the casualty, or the adjusted basis of'the trees, whichever is less.

With respect to timber, no casualty loss is allowed where the timber’s ability to grow in the future is diminished due to bent or broken limbs or leaning trees caused by an ice or snow storm. Only where the storm actually reduces the present value of the existing timber. is a casualty loss allowed.

In 1979 during September 172,700 persons toured the park compared to 225,300 for the same month in 1978. The drop amounts to a decrease of 23.3 per cent. For Calendar Year 1979, visits total 1,175,000. During the same period in 1978, the park had 1,533,200 visitors.. Again, the decrease is 23 per cent. Overnight stays also show a decline from 69,570 in September, 1978, to 52,125 in September, 1979.

'■ of Section 165. Taxpayer K’s house and acreage originally cost $9,000 in 1950. During the August flood the roadway and small wooden bridge leading to his house from' the state road were washed out, his tool'shed was demolished, and K calculates' that $500 worth of garden tools and equipment was lost. K collected $400 from his insurance company for ' the loss of the tools and equipment, but was not insured for the loss of 'the shed or1 the damage to' the driveway and bridge. K rebuilds the bridge and driveway to its pre-existing condition at a cost of $2,500. Then the October snowstorm breaks all the limbs off the 100-year-old maple trees in K’s yard. A local real estate appraiser determines that the fairmarket value of K’s home before' the flood was $60,000, and after the flood is $57,500 without' the tool' shed.

Quality Antiques Custom Framing .that the value of'the home without' 'the 100-year-old maple trees is $53,000. Since' there are two different casualties, K must compute'the damages from each separately. K’s casualty losf from' the flood is $5,000 calculated as follows: ‘the decrease in‘the fair market value of'the property based on the loss of'the tool shed and the repair cost for'the driveway and'the bridge is $5,000. The loss of'the tools and equipment, after 'the insurance proceeds, resulted in a net loss of S100, making a total loss of $5,100 from which‘the $100 limitation is subtracted, leaving a net casualty loss of $5,000. K’s deductible casualty loss from'the snow storm is $3,900 compute! as follows: although 'the real estate appraisal reflects a decrease iff the value of the property of $4,500, K’s loss is limited to his adjusted basis of $4,000 in 'the property, which is its original cost of $9,000 minus the prior casualty loss of $5,000. K must then subtract the $100 limitation leaving a net cnsulaty loss ot Thus, K would- have total casualty losses for 1979 of $8,900. Casualty losses must be reported on IRS Form 4684. The costs of appraisals, photographs and Other expenses necessary to ascertain' the amount of-the casulaty losses are not reported as part of these losses.

He described the utility tax as “a tax on people” and said the same amount of revenue could be raised by eliminating the utility tax and raising the property tax to $5.20 on $100 of assessed value. “That’s a policy question,” he said, adding that it was one way of helping elderly people on fixed incomes who own small houses and have just a small parcel of land. Kilpatrick stated that he supported an ordinace making it illegal to carry a loaded rifle or shotgun in a motor vehicle or walking on a public right-of-way. “If you don’t want cars driving down the road with guns poking out windows, you’ve got to put heat on your supervisors,” he told the audience. Addressing the issue of controlled growth, Kilpatrick stated that the more growth the county has, the more services are required and the more taxes dollars are needed. “The more the county is opened up to growth, the higher the tax rate will be,” he maintained, adding that Rappahannock’s zoning and subdivision ordinances this franchise is awarded to any person, company or corporation other than the present owner of the telephone system in the Town, such successful bidder shall, in addition to executing the bond required by Section 9 at the time such bid is accepted, execute and deliver to the Town a bond in the penal sum of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) with security to be approved by the Town's Attorney of the Town of Washington, in favor of the Town of Washington, conditioned upon having in operation a modern dial telephone system of sufficient size to provide for the telephone requirements of the Town, with long-distance toll connections, immediately upon cessation of service by the present operator. .. SECTION 11. Nothing in this franchise shall be construed to mean that this is an exclusive franchise, as the Town Council reserves the right to grant additional telephone franchises to other parties. SECTION 12. All ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict herewith are repealed. SECTION 13f. This ordinance shall be effective upon its passage. Adopted by the Council J. Newbill Miller Copy Teste: Dorothy P. Clater Clerk of the Council 29nl n needed refining in order to withstand challenges in court. Wakefield District Supervisor candidate Hubie Gilkey, building contractor and 20 year resident of Chester Gap, stated that he wanted to bring government back to the people. If elected, he promised to hold meetings frith his constituents when important decisions come before the supervisors. “Rather than reading about it in the Rappahannock News, you’ll know what’s happening beforehand,” he pledged. “If I’m elected. I’ll be your ears. I’ll let the people know how I’m going to vote before I do vote,” he added. In regard to overcrowding in the county schools, Gilkey said, “It’s time we got the facts and figures together so we can give our children what they need...The longer we wait, the more it’s going to cost.” In order to improve the quality of education in Rappahannock, residents are going to have to say “Yes, our taxes will have to go up,” Gilkey maintained. “I think the school board could do a little better job in (budget) requests than they’ve done in the past,” he said. Agreeing that people are the main cause of the county’s trash problems, Gilkey reported that concerned citizens, Scouts and 4H’ers organize community clean-up projects in Chester Gap every spring. He maintained that people will have to report violations of trash ordinances, take the time to get warrants and appear in court. “You’re going to have to speak up if you want something done about it,” he said. Before taking a positoin on any gun control ordinance, Gilkey said he would want to hold a meeting in Wakefield District to determine the opinion of his constituents. Gilkey stated his position on development as in favor of moderate growth. “We have to let our children have a place to live in this county...We can’t become stagnated," he said, adding that he wasn’t for developing Rappahannock into subdivisions and highrises. “Our ordinances are good but they do need some work,” Gilkey continued. He concluded that he would try to direct growth in a way that “our young people don’t suffer from our judgements.” Jackson District Current supervisor Dick Latham, running unopposed, noted that “court records COLORFUL RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY!

Wood were the two supervisors to support a previously proposed ordinance to prohibit loaded rifles and shotguns from being carried in motor vehicles or on foot on public rights-of-ways.) In the area of growth controls, Latham said “I don’t believe in having an ordinance so that young people won’t be able tb stay in the county.” As for trash problems, the Jackson District supervisor stated that he didn’t support vigilantes “but I do agree with citizen participation.” Addressing the issue of overcrowding in the schools, Latham supported Luke’s contention that more information on projected student population is necessary before any decision on capital outlay can be reached. i Comm. Of Revenue There were no questions from the audience directed to any of the candidates for commissioner of revenue. Ruth Grimsley of Flint Hill noted that her educational background and experience in running her own tax business qualified her for the job. ‘Tve invested eight years in the office,” said Merle Scoggin, deputy commissioner of the revenue for the past eight years. “I’ve seen the work grow to where it produces a real challenge.” This challenge will increase, particularly in the next two years, she said, when Rappahannock faces a county-wide reappraisel and when the commissioner of revenue must move the office to a new location in the old clerk’s building. “It’s vital that the new commissioner be familiar with the work and know what the job entails,” Scoggin concluded. Candidate Marilyn Bailey took her seat on the speakers platform to a round of applause, stating only that she had nothing to add that hadn’t already been covered in interviews printed in the Rappahannock News. Help Toward A Normal Life Many Rappahannock citizens may be surprised to learn that a group home serving mentally retarded adults has been in operation since 1974 in Culpeper. The Goldsborough House, although located in Culpeper at 401 East Piedmont Street, is open for residence to mentally retarded adults who live in the counties of Culpeper, Orange, Madison, Rappahannock, and Fauquier. Operated by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services BoardMental Retardation Services, the Goldsborough House offers a home-like setting for individuals who need to acquire additional social and living skills before moving into the community mainstream. As persons reach a certain level of maturity, they may need to “cut loose” from parental ties and become more independent. This same need for independance is common to mentally retarded persons. The Goldsborough House provides them this opportunity while still offering the necessary protection and supervision. Skills that are -taught to the residents include: shopping, banking telling time, cooking, cooperating with others, maintaining good hygiene habits, communicating effectively, etc. The overall goal of the House is to help individuals become as independent and productive as possible. The Goldsborougji House is a transitional facility; most residents live at the group home for six to 18 months depending upon individual needs. During this time, the residents are required to participate in daytime activity such a competitive employment or workshop employment a Goldsborough House residents pay a portion of their income for training, and also agree to abide by the House rules. Three counselors including a house manager and a night counselor comprise the Goldsborough House staff. These professionals provide training, guidance, and supervision to the residents throughout the 24 hour day. Support personnel are also available and the Community Mental Health Clinic provides counseling as needed. The Goldsorough House provides an alternative to institutionalization. It affords retarded adults the opportunity to leave the parental home, but still live wimiM a Miuciureu euvironment. As individuals increase their skills and selfconfidence, they gradually take on more and more responsibilities and privileges. When clients are ready to leave the House, the Services Bard offers continued but less structured, residential programs. In this way, former Goldsborough House clients become increasingly integrated into normal community life. In addition to providing services to those adults already mentioned, Mental Retardation Services also reserves space at the Goldsborough House for those families in need of respite care. With this service, the families of mentally retarded adults who need a temporary rest from caring for their dependent my entrust their care to another person. This rest r period, which can be for one evening or up to 90 days, affords the family time to refresh themselves. Respite referrals must meet specific criteria and follow the same rules as the other residents at Goldsborough House. The staff of Mental Retardation Services welcomes any questions and visits from the community. Visits and further information may be arranged by contacting the Rappahannock Mental Health Clinic in Washington. Lefts save energy now.
