Buntin as sheriff of Rappahannock County and sent Douglas Baumgardner and Merle Scoggin to the court house as commonwealth attorney and commissioner of revenue. Buntin won a landslide victory, defeating John Walker Jenkins by an almost three-to-one majority and Marshall Corbin by more than 27-to-one. County totals were Buntin 1,381, Jenkins 524 and Corbin 50. Baumgardner carried all precincts in the contest for commonwealth attorney, just edging out Peter Luke in Flint Hill and Amissville but winning by a two-to-one margin in Washington. Totals were Baumgardner 1,186 and Luke 769. Commissiner of revenue race was the closest countywide contest. Merle Scoggin, deputy commissioner for the past eight years, won 862 votes to 611 for Marilyn Bailey and 398 for Ruth Grimsley. Treasurer Frances Foster ran unopposed. There will be one new face on the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors as challenger Hubert Gilkey beat out incumbent Edwin “Butch” Eastham for the seat from Wakefield District. Gilkey won by a substantial margin in Chester Gap, then squeaked by Eastham in Flint Hill. Current supervisor chairman E. P. Luke won by the slimmest margin in the four supervisor contests, defeating Cecil Baldwin in Piedmont by only 47 votes. Incumbent H. B. Wood Unofficial election results on page 4 — mmm m W. A.

Rappahannock went for incumbent Republican State C KI K *111 _ Democratic/ challenger "Ernie” Schlabach and supported George Beard for delegate by a landslide margin over Robert Wilson Murphy. Unofficial results for the four county area of Culpeper, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock give Miller 14,834 votes to 11,718 for Schlabach. In the contest for delegate from the 25th District, Beard overwhelmed Murphy with 9,787 total votes to 1,585. Approximately 70 per cent of the county’s 2,785 registered voters went to the polls in Tuesday's election. State Pushes Bldg. Inspector With marked lack of enthusiasm, the Rappahannock supervisors took a step toward hiring a county building inspector at last Thursday’s monthly meeting of the board. “I brought up the subject of a building inspector four years ago and you all turned it down,” chairman E. P. Luke reminded the rest of the supervisors. The state, while aware that the county has ignored requirements for four years, took no action until recently to force compliance with provisions of the Uniform Statewide Building Code. According to Col. Luke, the attitude of the Attorney General’s office under former head Andrew Miller was to let Rappahannock “suffer the consequences” of a citizen suit. Now, however, the director of the state Department of Housing and Community Development has served notice on Rappahannock “at the insistence of the attorney general,” Luke reported. He read a letter from director O. Gene Dishner stating that the county must appoint a building inspector to issue certificates of occupancy and create a building code board to hear appeals from the inspector’s decisions. Luke suggested that the supervisors rework and revise local ordinances and begin enforcement of the statewide code. “One of our problems is that we don’t require registered contractors in this county {although contractors) are charging master carpenters’ rates,” said Luke. When buildings are inspected by state officials or (Continued on Page 5) Student Commended The headmaster, William E. Lynn, Jr., announced today that one senior at Wakefield School has been named a Commended student in the twenty-fifth annual National Merit Scholarship Program.

The pleasant weather encouraged voters to mill around and catch up on the news. Residents Demand Bridge Opening By DAPHNE HITCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff W riter “To set the record straight again, I did not close the bridge,” announced supervisor chairman E. P. Luke in opening last Thursday’s special meeting on the fate of the Sperryville bridge. “Here’s the man who closed the bridge—resident engineer Don Askew.” Approximately 100 people turned out for the informal meeting called by Col. Luke to determine if area residents wanted the bridge on Route 1001 permanently closed or rebuilt to the legal road limit of 20 tons and opened to traffic that will include heavy trucks. Formerly, the bridge was restricted to an eight ton weight limit. The overwhelming consensus in the fire hall on Thursday was to keep the bridge open. Luke ticked off several arguments in support of retaining the bridge: the access is needed to get people in and out in case of emergency or if anything should block the road at the Exxon station, businesses may suffer without the road traffic, closing will increase the time necessary to get to the post office and to get the rescue squad in action for emergency calls. If the bridge is closed, it will reduce traffic through town, lessen noise and make Sperryville a safer place to live and shop, according to Luke. He added that the street could even be turned into a little shopping mall where customers could walk to the various stores. Before turning the meeting over to Askew, Luke asked for a petition on the bridge from Cecil Baldwin. The signatures on the petition call for immediate temporary repairs to re-open the bridge and completion of permanent repairs as soon as possible. It ftttther asks that the brida«4 be posted to keep out through truck traffic and claims the structure was closed without due process. The petition states that, except in cases of emergency, a resolution from the board of supervisors is required before a road or bridge can be closed. Public Safety “The bridge has been deteriorating for many years,” Askew began. ‘‘The deterioration accellarated this summer. We had complaints about flat tires, boards flying up.” He reported that, prior to the August flood, the highway department had preliminary plans to replace the deck and bring the bridge up to the legal load limit of 20 tons. After the storm, with six bridges out in two counties and roads devastated by floods, work on the Sperryville bridge dropped in priority. “In the interests of public safety, we closed the bridge,” Askew stated. If the bridge is reopened, it will have to be upgraded to a 20 ton legal limit and Sperryville residents will “have to accept the fact that trucks will use it...We CANNOT post signs prohibiting tractor trailer and truck traffic,” Askew emphasized. “They’re tax payers just like the rest of us.” The resident engineer explained that only towns which maintain their own street system have the option of closing roads to through truck traffic. Askew noted that the 20 ton limit for the rebuilt bridge is the approximate carrying load weight of a concrete truck. “Why does it have to be upgraded to 20 tons?” asked Julian Brown, the first of several people to voice the same question. The department has an obligation to bring it up to legal limit,” Askew replied. He added that the substructure would be left as is with additional steel beams added underneath to strengthen the bridge and a new deck installed. “Why was the bridge closed so quietly?” asked a member of the audience, adding that highway department employees in the county knew nothing of plans beforehand. “A Culpeper crew closed it up. Why were they sent in?" “It was my decision to close the bridge. It was done to protect the public.” Askew replied. “The Culpeper signing c-rew is the crew that I requested," he said. First Ag District Proposed By D\I*H\K HITCHINSON Rappahannock Vh» Staff W filer C. E. "Ned” Johnson of Sperryville presented the Rappahannock supervisors with the county’s first application for an Agricultural and Forestal District (AFD) at Thursday’s board meeting. The proposed district includes 750 acres that “have been in agricultural production for more than 100 years,” according to Johnson. “I hope it (the district) will be of some benefit to me. I want to try it .anyway." Johnson said. He reported that he's heard of many farmers who have had to give up farming and sell out because of rising property taxes. Agricultural districts with land use tax assessment offer help to the “honest-to-gosh farmer.” Johnson maintained. He noted that the state judged Rappahannock to be a wealthy county and well able to fund education mandates handed down from Richmond on the basis of the high value of land here. "They say we have high priced land but we can’t grow any more on it just because it’s worth more,” Johnson said. Establishing an ag district "is of serious concern in that we have to go through these steps according to law.” responded supervisor chairman E. P. Luke. The AFD Act, passed by the Virginia General Assembly in 1977, establishes Wood Heat Repeat The Rappahannock Extension Service’s program on Wood Heat which was held two weeks ago and was missed by many due to rescheduling because of the snow Storm will be repeated Thursday, November 15, 7:30 p.m. at the Court House in Washington.

Upon receiving the first application. the supervisors must appoint a nine-member committee composed of four active farmers, four other free holders and a representative from the supervisors. During the first 30-day period following submission of the application, the planning commission must publish a notice stating that an ag district proposal has been filed; that the application is open to inspection in the clerk's office and that modification proposals must be sub uitted within 30 days of the original filing date. At the close of the first 30day period, the planning commission refers the application and any proposed modifications to the advisory committee. The committee then determines if the land in the proposed district is agriculturally significant and looks at the nature of land uses in and adjacent to the proposed district, local development patterns and needs and any other relevant matters before submitting a report back to the planning commission within 30 days. The planning commission has another 30 days to hold its own public hearing and submit recommendations on the proposed ag district to the supervisors. Finally, the supervisors must conduct a public hearing and either reject the proposed district, adopt an ordinance authorizing the district as proposed or adopt an ordinance authorizing the district with modifications. All the steps from submission of the application to final action by the supervisors must be finished jn 180 days. The district may be set up for no less than four years (Continued on Page 6) “Don't state statutes make it illegal to close a throueh thoroughfare?” asked someone else. Askew responded that the highwaydepartment had the power to close any road in an emergency. "It was temporarily closed until we could go through the public hearing process to determine what the public wants,’’ he said, acknowledging that a resolution from the board of supervisors was required if the bridge was to be permanently closed. Askew said il would be winter or even spring before repairs could be completed should the decision be made to reopen the bridge. The resident engineer was asked why no public hearings were held last summer when the decision was first reached (Continued on Page 6) I minimm fr- hi Joseph Lipomi Lions Gov. To Visit Lion Joseph S.

SOUTHERN STATES Front Royal Cooperative PHONE 635-3118 FRONT ROYAL Opera Coming Sunday The Catholic University of America School of Music Opera Workshop will give an encore performance, another “Evening of Opera Scenes,” at the old Washington school auditorium on Sunday, November 11, 7:30 p.m. Many of the same students, who sang at the school in April will again be performing joined by new faces. Sunday’s program will include the love duets from La Forza del Destino, La Traviata, Rigoletto and Lucia, plus scenes from Cosa fan Tutti, Don Giovanni and Madama Butterfly. The program will also include familiar areas from Don Carlo, Tosca, Turandot and Madama Butterfly. Dr. Donald Wiggins, reknowned as a trainer of opera stars, will again direct the Catholic University students. The talent he has collected for this performance exceeds the thrills he provided Rappahannock music lovers last April. Tenor Young Ree Kang from Korea, who shook the house last year will again fill the hall with his powerful voice. Another Korean tenor, Choung Yuel Yol, and Jody Armi, a beautinil soprano from California, will join this year’s cast. Few communities, especially in rural areas, ever have the opportunity to hear and see highly trained opera performers on their way to stardom. Many of the voices in the old school auditorium on Sunday should be familiar at the Metropolitan Opera within the next few years. Tickets are $3 for adults and $1.50 for students with Children under 12 admitted free. Proceeds from the performance will benefit the Rappahannock Chorus, Wakefield Country Day School and the Washington Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad from whom tickets are available.

By-pass Still Planned Plans for a Sperryville bypass have been “put on the back burner”, not abandoned, according to resident : highway engineer Don Askew. At the end of the stormy meeting last Thursday on the Route 1101 bridge closing, Askew briefly addressed the by-pass question. He recalled that public hearings were held in the community in 1973 to consider the environmental aspects of three different bypass alignments: one through town, one north of town and a third crossing Ned Johnson’s property. Askew noted that the Virginia General Assembly had designated 211 as an arterial highway intended for four-laning. To date, plans have been improved for construction up to the north fork of the Thornton River, according to the resident engineer. He estimated completion date of the project would be between 1983 and 1985. “The Sperryville by-pass is not a dead issue,” Askew continued. “Sometime in the( future, we have to hold a ' public hearing to determine what the public, wants ...We’re no further or closer (to construction) than we were in 1973.” Askew added that the highway department had no plans to four-lane the existing three-lane section of , Route 211 over the mountain. He took exception to a story printed in the September 27 of the Rappahannock News, reporting on remarks made / to the county planning commission by John Capelle, executive director of the Rappahannock-Rapid an Planning District Commission. Capelle told the planners • that the highway department currently has no plans for a Sperryville bypass. According to Askew, Capelle’s information was the result of a misunderstanding between the planning district director and Askew. “The Sperryville by-pass is not a dead issue,’’ Askew repeated. “So it’s still possible that we’ll have our sidewalks through Sperryville,” Phyliss Swindler concluded.

Flint Hill Businessmen Feature Hot Tub, Stoves By MIDGE REYNOLDS Rappahannock New* Special Writer The old packing house on Rt. 522 at Flint Hill has become a regular beehive of activity these days. The Blue Ridge Cooperage; and Lakewood Atlantic are operated by dynamic, young entrepreneurs who view their establishments as a center for solar design promoting futuristic life-styles and energy conservation in the Shenandoah Valley and the Piedmont regions. Contrary to popular belief, the hot tubs built at the Blue Ridge Cooperage have many more uses than hydrotherapy or relaxation. Manufacturers Ken Ritvo and Sam Cliffton say hot tubs can be used for a variety of purposes in the home—from fish ponds to cisterns. They are especially effective, however, as passive solar devices. Blue Ridge Cooperage tubs have been purchased for heat dumps, or heat-storage tanks in solar designed homes. This has become economically feasible laterly with the tax credit for utilizing solar-domestic hot water. One construction company, Solar Design Incoii porated, presently is build'!fig a solar home in Winchester, featuring one of the tubs from the Blue Ridge Cooperage. The Blue Ridge Cooperage was founded by Sperryville resident Ritvo, a stonemason who has marketed widely to craft shops and galleries in the Washington, D. C. area, and Cliffton, a house builderdesigner who attended the Pratt School of Industrial Design in New York. The unique combination of their talents has led to a coopering (barrel-making) operation which utilizes similar techniques of early history. High Volume, Standards Make no mistake about it, Ritvo and Cliffton are craftsmen interested in Rappahannock < Voters Thank you for your vote and your support in the November 6 election.

HfcALIY WORLD cReal CRs fate. $Ueen dl. mmmmmmmmm REALTOR an THAT BEAUTIFUL LEVERAGE One of the great advantages in real estate investment is that wonderful word called leverage. In its simplest terms, it means using someone else’s money to vastly increase your profit potential. Real estate has traditionally been very good security for loans. This means that real estate can be acquired with a smaller percentage of cash outlay than most other investments. Leverage arises because ALL of the income and ALL of the appreciation in property value belongs to the property holder regardless of the amount of the loan. To illustrate, assume a $100,000 property was purchased for only $10,000 cash and a $90,000 mortgage loan. Five years later, the same property is sold for $150,000 (a 50 per cent gain in value). After paying off the $90,000 mortgage, the investor would realize, not a 50 per cent gain, but rather a 500 per cent gain on his actual cash investment because he only invested $10,000 not $100,000 for the property.

BLUE RIDGE COOPER AGE worker Terry Pagano carefulU bends at the business in Flint Hill. - ri».i..r...in. -> ..r m,,,. Hi.ta.-c.. metal bands for hot tubs manufactured maintainjngTii^h volume, but mostly quality standards. Ritvo likes to remind customers that coopering is an old art. In the old days the staves were bent with heat and pressure, frequently a hazardous undertaking. Modern manufacturers, however, no longer bend the staves. Making the tubs atUJtue Ridge Cooperage is strictly a milling operation. Ritvo and Cliffton work from charts and graphs to make the milling precise. Precision is required to handle the machinery, to select wood grade and to produce the tub bands which are steel-coated zinc dichromate bent to precision with a three-pulley system. They use clear heart, vertical redwood shipped from California with no caulking of any kind. The tubs are sealed by a special cutting technique to achieve a purely vertical grain in the wood which promotes swelling and water-tightness. The redwood tubs range from four feet high to nine feet in diameter. Experiment With Woods Since redwood is a diminishing resource and somewhat dear, Ritvo and Cliffton are experimenting with various South American cedars with similar properties which could lower the cost of the tubs for consumers. Much has been said in recent months about the “hot-tubbing" experience. Hot tubs have swept from California and the “less crazed” states of Oregon and Washington through America faster than skateboards. But it was Californians who started making the tubs out of redwood, teak and other precious woods and manning them with Jacuzzilike jet streams. They are now advertized in all sorts of magazines and marketed all over the United States. Hot tubs, however, are not for everyone, Ritvo cautions. As a hydro-therapy spa with temperatures ranging grom 103 degrees to 105 degrees, they must be used in moderation, and preferably not by those with a heart condition or high blood pressure. C.U.

The hot tub, he says, accommodates the new, more self-contained lifestyle when persons are having to travel less and look to the home for major sources of entertainment and heatlh. The Blue Ridge Cooperage is a growing firm. It is strictly an East Coast operation, marketing competively with companies out west that conduct high-volume, automated operations. Even though it began operations only last spring, it boasts key distributerships in New England. Rhode Island, New Jersey, Georgia, and < Indiana, and as far west as the Mississippi. The Blue Ridge Cooperage is now providing retailers with hot tubs in Annapolis, Baltimore, Montgomery County, Maryland and Great Falls, w'ith one retailer, “The Fat Cat" close to home in Middleburg. Seen On T. V. As more and more persons see “hot tubbing” as a way of life or look to different modes of energy conservation, the prospects of the Blue Ridge Cooperage look good. Its spa facility was recently demostrated on the "P.M. Magazine” television show and will be one of the featured exhibits at the “Washington Design for Living Show” Nov. 8-12 in Washington, D. C. A grand opening of the Blue Ridge Cooperage is projected for the first week of November. A showroom with its hot tub-spa facility is now What you should know a {Jeters en dletuelers The Diamond Store 323 Southga4* Shopping Contor • Cutpop* Phont 825 6033 under construction and will be available for use by all potential customers. It consists of a six-foot hot tub, a four-foot cold tub, a solar heated shower and a barrel sauna. The complete kit for both indoor and outdoor use retails for around $2000 and includes a tub, seats, cover, and insulating polyurethane blanket, as well as plumbing and support equipment. Innovative Stoves A couple of doors down from the Blue Ridge Cooperage is the headquarters for Lakewood Stoves, a distribution center in the United States, and a subsidiary of Lakewood Products. Inc.. Nemo, Texas which has been manufacturing its unique wood stove in Canada for the past four years. The Flint Hill facility is the only Lakewood distributor presently operating in the United States. It is owned by John Lee, a graduate of the University of Texas and manufacturer of the Lakewood stove for a time in Canada. Plans Dealerships Jon can be found at any hour ol the day moving the pins around on a massive board, a projection of dealerships from New York to Florida. Twenty dealerships have already been established with a projected 200 by next heating season. Jon says local area sales also are booming. More than a dozen Lakewood stoves have been sold on the premises in the past two months. Jon plans, however, to get out of sales, and to start manufacturing the Lakewood stove on the Flint Hill premises. He projects employing 30 persons, including welders, warehouse workers, shipping clerks, sales representatives and a secretary. The Lakewood Stove is a relatively new name in the competitive market for woodburning stoves, yet it is well established in Canada, one of the coldest regions on the continent, where it has been tested with superior rating. One of the models, the “Lakewood Cottager’’ received the highest consumer report rating in Canada for the third heating season. Jon will tell you that in addition to utilizing all of the most common techniques of most woodburning stoves on the US market, the Lakewood was one of the first to combine all of the current manufacturing techniques: the baffeling, the pre-heated, secondary air, the heat exchanger. as well as the airtightness. He explains that, unlike most stoves, the Lakewood utilizes a one-piece construction process for the stove front and sides instead of the usual individual pieces of angle-irons and welded plates, and that it is completely air-tight due to its straight-lined, welding process which assures greater longevity and durability. Each day the average American will use the energy from 13.6 pounds of coal, 3.3 gallons of oil, 297 cubic feet of natural gas and 3.7 kilowatt hours of electric power. Multiplied by an average lifespan, a baby born today will, during his or her lifetime, use 175 tons of coal, 2,000 barrels of oil, and 7.5 million cubic feet of natural gas.

NOVEMBER 8. 1979 Standards Upheld Armed with zoning and subdivision ordinance restrictions on development, the county won a major victory last week in the fight to control growth. There were no trumpets sounded at Thursday’s supervisor meeting. Surrender came in executive session between the board and Claude Compton, attorney for developer C. L. Goode. Goode’s proposed Flint Hill subdivision, a development of 13 fiveacre lots just outside the village, has been before the county for approval tor almost three years. His plans have been turned down again and again, primarily on the grounds that the subdivision doesn’t comply with ordinance requirements on slope. Rappahannock’s ordinances state that each of Goode’s lots must contain five acres under 14 per cent slope. The developer dropped lots and redesigned boundary lines several times with no success. The planners and the supervisors were adamant—4.75 acres, 4.82 acres, 4.95 acres were not enough. It had to be a full five acres in each lot. While Goode made trips back to the drawing board, he also consulted with legal counsel and launched a court suit, challenging the county’s denial of Mountain Slopes subdivision. Goode’s suit, now scheduled for hearing on December 10, involves more than just a 13-lot subdivision. It includes an attack on the constitutionality and legality of both the zoning and subdivision ordinance. It raises the issues of whether (1) slope is a valid and precise criteria for determining lot size, (2) large lot zoning is exclusionary and (3) the ordinance was properly adopted in accordance with all technical aspects of the law. Most important, it is a suit that attorneys and planning experts alike think the county has little hope of winning. Losing would be expensive, both in terms of money and in terms of loss of growth controls. But now the fight can be called without landing a blow. Goode has conceded. He has redrawn boundary lines again, this time making sure that each and every lot in the proposed subdivision contains five acres below 14 per cent slope. Compton presented the new lay-out to the supervisors in executive session on Thursday. Street plans already authorized by the highway department are unchanged so approvals there remain current. According to Compton, the health department has also okayed drainfield locations required by the new design. All that remains is for the supervisors to vote authorization. They took no action on Thursday, tabling the issue until they can consult their attorney, Waugh Crigler. Barring a special session, the next opportunity the board will have to approve the subdivision is December 6—just four days before the case is scheduled to be heard in court. It’s taken the supervisors three years and almost $10,000 to squeeze agreement out of Goode but they’ve got it. Now it’s up to the supervisors to recognize their victory. They’ve succeeded in holding the developer to strict compliance, setting a precedent for all future subdivision proposals. County ordinances are intact and the supervisors have bought some time to investigate the points raised by Goode in his suit. Mr. Goode has waited three years for the go-ahead on his Mountain Slopes subdivision. It’s time he got it. No Manners Resident highway engineer Don Askew and Rappahannock supervisor chairman E. P. Luke sat through two hours of rudeness and antagonism from an openly hostile audience at last Thursday’s hearing on the Sperryville bridge. Feelings in the community regarding the bridge closing ran high but that’s no excuse for throwi»g common courtesy out the fire hall window. Askew and Luke were beaten to death with the same question. Over and over again, they were asked who made the decision to close the bridge and over and over again, Askew replied that the decision was made by his office. Repeatedly, he explained that safety of motorists using the rapidly deteriorating bridge was the only factor in closing the structure. But the question kept coming back again and again and again. Each time Askew answered, his response met with mutterings of disbelief from throughout the room. In essence, the audience by its actions was calling Askew a liar. Even then, the com planters took the coward’s way out. No one had the guts to stand up and say “I don’t believe you.’.’ Instead, there were half-audible mutterings of “I bet,” “That’s not what I heard,” or “He’s full of it.” The general consensus in Sperryville seems to be that public servants, employees of the state, federal or local government whose salaries are paid with tax dollars, are exempt from the rules of common courtesy. We don’t remember ever reading in an ettiquette book that you don’t have to be polite to public employees but maybe the folks in Sperryville have their own book. Is it just supervisors and resident engineers from the highway department who are fair game or is it also socially acceptable to be rude to school teachers and principals, judges, state police and sheriff’s deputies, U.S. Senators and Congressmen? And if it’s all right for adults to be rude to these public servants, do kids have the same rights to lack of common courtesy? If we had to judge Sperryville solely by the conduct of the folks at Thursday’s meeting, we’d say it’s a town of arrogant unmannered boors. Is that the reputation the community wants? If not, folks had better do a little brushing up on the elementary social graces. Clark Named Ex. Director Ed Clark of Flint Hill has been named executive director of the Conservation Council of Virginia Foundation. The Richmond based organization offers services to both government and private citizens interested in conservation, with a focus on education and information. According to Clark, the foundation will advise individuals with conservation related problems on where to go to get access to the public process and will provide connections with other conservation groups throughout the state. Gark said the foundation will also monitor state agencies involved with conservation issues. He reported that a conservation radio program to be broadcast statewide is also in the planning process. The foundation will give citizens coming to Richmond to lobby general assembly members on conservation issues a place from which to coordinate activities. In addition, Clark will be doing some lobbying on behalf of the Conservation Council itself. ED CLARK “We hope to establish a presence in the state,” said Clark, who is also a member of the board of directors for the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection. Clark said the foundation is currently compiling an “inventory of experts,” persons available to answer questions or speak at meetings for conservation groups. He invited anyone interested in this service to contact him at the foundation, telephone (804) 7801387. While with the Conservation Council of Virginia Foundation, Gark will be working closely with former Rappahannock News reporter Pekay Pettus who currently serves as executive director of the Conservation Council. Our Rappahannock Heritage Conservation Forum Planned The 1979 forum of the Garden Club of Virginia will be held Nov. 16 at the Farmington Country Club, Charlottesville. National and state conservation legislation will be discussed by Sen. Mark O. Hatfield (R.-Ore.) and Russell C.

Letters To The Editor Stops To the editor: I read with a great deal of interest Mr. Northup’s article, “Up the Chimney at the White House.” I would like to ask Mr. Northup one question. He mentioned the articles on President Carter’s desk but he did not indicate whether he saw the plaque, “The Buck Stops Here” which President Carter had brought from former President Truman’s Library in Independence, Missouri to be placed on his desk during his Administration. I would like to know if Mr. Northup saw that plaque anywhere in President Carter’s Office. (MRS.) VIVIAN N. YANCEY Amissville (Editor’s note: Jim Northup reports that the plaque reading “The Buck Stops Here” sits in the President’s oval office on a book case.) Future Megolopolis To the editor: I’m afraid the Rappahannock News destroyed the point of my letter by changing my word ‘controlled’ to ‘uncontrolled’. The last paragraph of my letter should have read: If anything is naive, isn’t it to assume that we can have controlled growth year after year without sooner or later transforming Rappahannock County into something resembling Arlington, Fairfax or Prince Georges? As Bill Monroe, moderator of the forum said, “We have yet to hear from the candidate for reckless growth.” None of our candidates are for uncontrolled growth. But even controlled growth will lead to megopolis.

Dumpster Sites Sought The pressure on the Rappahannock supervisors to take action to resolve the county’s trash problem stepped up at last Thursday’s board meeting. Larry Genebach presented the board with a petition carrying the names of 116 Amissville residents requesting that the dumpster^ site be moved from the center of the village to a more suitable location. In response, supervisor chairman E. P. Luke said he would evaluate possible new locations on highway department right-of-way with resident engineer Don Askew. Luke warned that the supervisors were running out of “viable solutions” to complaints on the dumpsters. “I’ve never received a call from a private person saying ‘You can put them on my land,’ ” said Luke. “If there’s no place; the service will have to be disbanded,” he cautioned. Opposition surfaces to using highway department right-of-way for dumpster sites whenever a location is visible from an adjoining landowners’ property, Luke continued. “In this place we’re | appreciate the support I received in the contest for Commissioner of Revenue for Rappahannock County and would like to thank everyone who voted for me and assisted in my campaign. I pledge that I will fulfill the duties of the office to the best of my ability during the coming four years. Merle S cog gin TT Rappahannock County Thank yon.

The supervisor chairman also agreed to check another potential dumpster location about a mile further from Amissville on highway rightof-way near Manuel Pullen’s property. ‘‘That’s really in the middle of nowhere,” remarked Don Askew, highway department resident engineer for Rappahannock. “If you don’t want to look at it, it’s got to be in the middle of nowhere...We can’t have the best of everything (with dumpsters) within easy range of our houses,” Luke responded. He agreed that moving the green boxes out of Amissville and further away from Culpeper would decrease the use of the dumpsters by residents of the neighboring county. Luke also noted that a dumpster site has been located in Rediviva on highway right-of-way. Luke indicated he would authorize minor grading improvements at the property in the immediate future. six-1 ear nan neviseo The supervisors voted unanimously to adopt revisions to the county’s secondary road plan for 1980-86, incorporating improvements to Routes 621, 680 and 637. With the new projects added, Luke noted that “just about everybody’s request (voiced at the annual road hearing) has been taken care of, one way or another.” Askew described the plan as “a fairly aggressive program based on the best guess we can come up with on anticipated funds.” He added that the key to almost all road improvement projects is availability of right-of-way. Copies of maps showing the road projects included in the six-year-plan are available for inspection at the clerk’s office in Washington and Askew’s office in Warrenton. Carson Johnson asked Askew if the highway department could clear some of the debris from stream beds. “There’s enough debris in a quarter mile to block a water gate or a bridge” if the county gets even the normal autumn rainall, Johnson said. Flooding that will result if the streams aren’t cleared could cause serious road and property damage, particularly in the lower end of the county, he said. “A wall of water could reach homes and property like we've never seen before.” Askew replied that the highway department had done “some channel work” and would do more as soon as higher priority projects are completed. • Weighs just 12 lb for easy handling. • All electric. * Stores anywhere a shovel does.

The program will run from December 1 through March 31 and persons may apply for the program on or after November 16. In Rappahannock County the local department of welfare will administer the program with the assistance of the Area Agency on Aging. Applications will be taken by both agencies. Watch for a further announcement as to when and where to apply. Aid to Dependent Children recipients and those persons whose income ,is less than 125 per cent of the poverty level ($4,250 a year for an individual and $8,375 for a family of four) will be eligible for the program, if they have a genuine need. Households not already known to the welfare department will need to bring in proof of income and cash resources such as bank accounts. r Night Closings Forced Wildlife poaching activities have again caused park rangers to close two sections, of Shenandoah National Park to vehicular travel during all hours of darkness from Nov. 12 through Dec. 1, announced Superintendent Robert R. Jacobsen today. The affected portions of the Skyline Drive will be the 31-mile section from Front Royal south to U.S. Highway 211 Thornton Gap, and the 39-mile section from Waynesboro north to U.S. Highway 33 at Swift Run Gap. The park roads in these areas will be closed at dark each day and will not re-open until 8 a.m. on the following mornings. The remaining section of the Skyline Drive, located between U.S,, Highways 211 and 33, and giving access to Big Meadows lodge and campground, will remain open as usual. Jacobsen said, in announcing this closure, that several deer have already been killed on Skyline Drive by poachers and similar actions during the past four years have proven very successful in countering illegal hunting activity in these sections of the park. Rangers will again be patrolling the park’s boundary by helicopter and ground patrols. Park entrance stations will be manned into the night hours and park neighbors are encouraged and requested to report suspicious hunting activities by telephone to the chief park ranger at 9992243. Jacobsen said that these nighttime closures have caused little inconvenience to legitimate park visitors, and have permitted park rangers to intensify their patrols elsewhere in the park. AARP Offers Theater An afternoon at the Eisenhower Theatre is planned for Dec. 13 by the Warrenton chapter AARP. The play is Daisy Mayme, starring Jean Stapleton of TV's All in the Family. After the theatre the group will see the Christmas lights on the Elipse turned on and will have supper on the way home. Reservations must be made by Nov. 17 so tickets can be purchased.

Board Pursues Hiring \^.wiiiiuucu irum rage 1; inspectors from other counties, “we get a list a mile long of what’s wrong,” he added. One suit arising out of the county’s failure to provide a building inspector has already been heard in court, Luke reported, while other homeowners are threatening to sue the county if Rappahannock doesn’t comply with the state code. Supervisor Dick Latham asked if the code covered renovations and additions as well as new dwellings. “It can cover whatever we want it to,” Luke answered, i, noting that the state wanted complete enforcement. “But we may have some leeway on renovations,” he added. Luke suggested the county raise the ceiling cost from renovation work that requires a building permit from $500 to $1,000. His proposal met with approval from the other supervisors but no action was taken. Supervisor H. B. Wood asked if inspections took PARK THEATRE Last Night - 7:30 "Smokey & The Bandit" ipgi r STARTS TOMORROW! A 1 jJKflUUlA18! enougn time to require tne county to have its own personnel rather than work out a shared arrangement with another locality. “It doesn’t take much time,” Luke responded. “It takes a whole lot,” interjected commonwealth attorney George Davis. Contractors shouldn’t have to keep their crews standing around idle while they wait for a building inspector to drive over from Luray to check a stage in construction, Davis maintained. Sean Kilpatrick told the supervisors that Culpeper County, which has an excellent building inspection program, is reportedly at the point of needing another half-time person on its staff and may be willing to share a new employee with Rappahannock. With this approach, Rappahannock’s inspector would have the benefits of working with trained, experienced personnel and could be on call daily, Kilpatrick said. “Do you want me to proceed or not (in seeking a building inspector)?" asked Luke. “It looks like we have to,” Latham responded. In setting up an inspection program. Wood suggested that Luke contact the state Department of Housing ana Community Development for help as well as checking with Culpeper County and with Fanning Baumgardner, Rappahannock's county engineer. RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY VOTERS Your support and confidence, displayed in Tuesday's election is deeply appreciated. I will serve you as best lean. Thank you Douglas Baumgardner To our customers who are moving... An announcement about our new Phone Return Program. It used to work like this. When moving day came, you’d move everything out... except the phones. They stayed behind. Wire changing that. Now when you move or discontinue phone service, we are asking you to return your phones to your local Centel Business Office. You will then get a $4.00 credit for your first phone return. Plus $2.00 for every additional phone. When phones are not returned like this, Centel will have to bill you for the value of the unreturned phones. The idea behind our new Phone Return Program is this: Centel won’t have to send an installer out to pick up the phone. And that means a sizable manpower savings to us. And when we save money, you save money on your rates. It is simply a more efficient system for all of us. If yours is a jack-phone, just unplug it. When it’s a fixed installation phone, snip the cord between the telephone and the wall. We think this new system means many happy returns for all of us. CENTRAL TELEPHONE

Askew explained that hearings would have been interrupted by the August flood. “We were just getting into this process of what to do with the bridge,” he said. New Boards Noting that the highway department has been repairing the bridge with ply wood for the past year or so, Carson Johnson maintained that replacing three or four boards will leave the bridge in “as good a shape as it’s been for eight or ten years. Why can’t you do that?” he asked. “What you don’t See from the surface is the deterioration underneath...the wearing down of the steel beams,” Askew answered. He emphasized again that highway department policy mandated the bridge he upgraded to the legal load limit. Johnson countered that the boards could have been replaced “in the time it took seven or eight men to build that barricade” closing the road. Askew explained again that the decision centered around the “ultimate fate of the bridge” not replacing boards on the deck. With the bridge closed, the rescue squad must waste between four and five minutes in answering calls, according to Joe Borkowski. “That’s the difference between life and death for many people,” he claimed. He also asked Askew if the highway department was prepared for the extra traffic load at the blind curve by the Exxon station corner should the bridge remain closed. “There are already accidents there.” he noted. While Askew was responding that he didn’t think the Exxon corner presented a traffic hazard, Thomas Baldwin demanded to know from Luke the names of people opposed to reopening the bridge. Luke said he’d spoken to several people who indicated they favored closing the bridge. “Just name one,” Baldwin called, “Okay. Wilson Burke,” the supervisors chairman ' answered. Quieter Road “It’s been much quieter since the bridge’s been closed,” stated Bill Loomis, commenting on the absence of “three-legged dogs” and “idiots racing their cars around.” “What criteria did the highway department use for closing the bridge? asked Loomis after a shouted exchange with someone in the back of the room. “I’d hate to see the little businesses affected but on the other hand, it’s been much quieter with the bridge closed,” he said. Loomis added that there has been one traffic death on Route 1001 since he moved to town a year and a half ago. Noting that he lives on the bridge street, Wilson Burke said he’d like to see the bridge repaired and the speed limit lowered. “What brought all the attention on this bridge? Why did anyone think we wouldn’t want the bridge repaired?” asked Josephine Borkowski. She noted that the bridge at the Old Mill stable had been repaired immediately after it was damaged in the storm with no public hearings. Askew explained that the Old Mill bridge wasn’t posted, that it met legal load limits before the storm damaged the structure. “If we went in and repaired the Sperryville bridge, it would have affected the traffic patterns of the whole communtiy so significantly that I thought it should go to a public hearing,” Askew said. “Everyone in this room recognizes the importance of the bridge,” stated Julian Brown. As a rescue squad member, Brown said he had timed the length of the trip to the squad building without using the bridge. "There’s 55 seconds difference in answering calls,” he reported, adding that the timing had been done late at night. From a safety aspect, Brown criticised the rerouting of bridge traffic by the Exxon comer. “You’re open prey” coming out on Route 211 at the Exxon station, he maintained. “You have to be quick and you have to be alert...or you’re going to get canned.” Addressing the speeding problem on the bridge road, Brown maintained it’s “up to the people of Sperryville to pursue (offenders) through the courts.” Blacks Favor Opening Charlie Lewis, spokesman for Sperryville’s black community and the Hopewell Baptist Church, expressed support for opening the bridge. “Now we have to go down around town to get to the last resting place of our loved ones,” he said. Martin Woodard described the choices between reopening the bridge with a 20 ton limit or keeping it closed as “an all or nothing proposition. I can’t believe that somewhere in the morass of state regulations you can’t find something to fit this situation,” he told Askew. “It behooves you, as our supervisor, to look into this and see if you can’t find some other alternative between all or nothing,” Woodard said, addressing himself to Luke. “You all are holding all the cards and telling us how it “We’re obligated by department guidelines to build to jthq^ggal load limit. & hfgbw department J rcfpfied. If rebuilt, the structure won’t be a grandiose bridge, he said. It’s appearance will stay the same. The only difference will be four additional steel beams underneath, Askew explained. “I don’t know of any bridges in the state of Virginia being built to less than the legal limit,” Askew continued. In response to more questions from the audience, he acknowledged that the highway department "has many “inadequate” bridges throughout the state that don’t meet the legal load limit. “That’s why it’s highway department policy to bring them up to the legal limit when they’re repaired,” he said. Responding to more shouted questions from the rear of the room, Askew said again that the bridge was closed “because of accelerated deterioration of the bridge deck.” “If the bridge is abandoned, will the route be maintained?” asked someone in the audience. A voice from the back yelled that the road was full of potholes and hadn’t been maintained by the highway department for years. ‘‘I hope you all realize we’re in a major restoration effort trying to get the county’s roads back in shape,” Askew said, before interruption by more complaints on state road maintenance. Luke interjected that the county had already held a road hearing. “We’re not going to discuss complaints here tonight,” he told the crowd. Askew volunteered to meet with the critic and go over the road in question. “Our people in Rappahannock have knocked themselves out,” he said. In addition to local employees working to get the roads opened, county crews had help from Warrenton, Midland, Manassas, Culpeper and Orange, according to Askew. “I’d like to publicly thank our employees,” he stated. Askew added that closing the bridge and creating a 'deadend street there wouldn’t affect snow removal priority for the road. “What about law enforcement in this end of the county?” asked Loomis, reporting that he’d seen trucks violating the bridge’s old eight ton weight limit as well as speeders breaking the 25 mph limit. “Who’s doing something about it?” Luke answered that the supervisors had no authority over law enforcement. He said argument existed over whether it’s the duty of the state police or the sheriffs department to “patrol the roads.” Aileen Johnson asked where a turn-around spot would be located if the road ended at the bridge. "Presumably at Route 600,” Askew answered. “Perhaps the rescue squad will let us use their land,” he said, acknowledging that the department couldn’t condemn property for turnaround space. Highway Decision Pete Estes asked where the idea to close the bridge originated. “The decision was made in my office,” Askew replied, as at least three voices chorused from the back “Who suggested it?” Estes countered that the bridge washed out at Rock Mills was being rebuilt immediately while the Sperryville bridge that carried at least 100 times more traffic remained closed. Mike Wyman maintained that if the highway department had repaired the Sperryville bridge instead of closing it, the structure wouldn’t need to be upgraded to a higher weight limit. “When that deck came off for repairs, we would have had to put in the additional steel beams,” Askew stated. Preliminary steps on upgrading the bridge were taken last summer, he said. (Continued on Page 10) fitnaJ (Jribu//.

Ag District (Continued from Page 1) but no more than eight years at the option of the supervisors. Land within a district is eligible for use value taxation and no special assessment or tax for nonfarming purposes may be imposed on land in a district. In addition, local government may not enact laws within an ag district which unreasonably restrict or regulate farm structures or forestry and farming practices. Also powers of eminent domain of local governments, state agencies and public service corporations are limited somewhat in an ag district. In discussing appointments to the ag district advisory committee, Luke said he wanted “responsible people who will come to the meetings and take action so this thing won’t drag on and on.” “What happens (to land in an ag district) when it’s time for reassessment?” asked supervisor Dick Latham. “It’s reassessed on the basis of land use, not fair market value,” Luke replied, adding that the commissioner of revenue would then keep a separate book for property receiving use value taxation so the provisions of the AFD Act requiring roll-back taxes could be applied to property withdrawn from a district. The supervisors took no action at Thursday’s meeting to name members for the advisorv committee. r PRINCIPLES OF REAL ESTATE 2-Week Courses (Days) 5 or 7 Wk. Courses (Eve.

This notice is a summary of an application dated October 31, 1979 submitted to the FERC, the Virginia State Corporation Commission, the West Virginia Public Service Commission, the Maryland Public Service Commission and in which the Company seeks authorization to furnish certain information in a form different from that specified in FERC regulations. The regulations require that certain cost information be furnished, and customer load studies be done, for each of the four regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over the Company's operations. The Company substantially gathers cost information and conducts load studies without regard to regulatory jurisdiction. The Company operates in contiguous areas of western Maryland, northern Virginia and eastern West Virginia and serves wholesale customers at locations within those combined areas. The Company is a part of the integrated Allegheny Power electric system (System). Regardless of regulatory jurisdiction, all customers are provided with power from the same generating stations located in Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia and Pennsylvania through the same high voltage transmission lines. Lower voltage distribution facilities for serving one of its jurisdictions are similar in design and cost as those for servicing its other jurisdictions. Experience has shown that the Company's cost of serving its various customer classes and the energy use patterns of such customers are similar. Accordingly, the Company in its application proposes that it be permitted to furnish certain cost information on a company wide basis and conduct load studies on the basis of its company wide operations or where appropriate, on the basis of System operations, and be relieved of the burdensome, and costly, requirement of gathering certain cost information and conducting load studies for each of its regulatory jurisdictions. The regulations also require that» certain rate base information be provided on the basis of thirteen monthly averages if a state regulatory commission so requires. The Company in its application requeste exemption from this requirement now even though a state regulatory agency may in the future require filing of the information on that basis: This application is being noticed in the Federal Register and has been sent to the appropriate state regulatory commissions for publication in official state publications, if any. Any written information, views, arguments or other comments on the application must be received by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol We Can Supply All Your BUILDING NEEDS Culpeper Building & Supply Corp.

Bridge, No Trucks (Continued from Page 6) “Then the floods came and we never got any further.” He estimated the cost of upgrading the bridge at $40,000 and noted the money had to come from the county’s secondary road budget, not the special storm emergency funds used to finance the ongoing maintenance projects resulting from recent flood damage. Thomas Baldwin questioned at length whether all partially destroyed bridges were subject to the same hearing process before being repaired. Luke explained that he’d planned a community meeting to determine the opinion of his constituents before a possible formal public hearing by the board of supervisors. “I didn’t have to call this meeting,” he noted. “We didn’t have to come,” Baldwin countered. Luke stated that he. would write the district engineer to see if an exception could be made on rebuilding the bridge to a 20 ton limit and said he would support a resolution by the supervisors to keep the bridge opened. raises r or tnorts “Everybody here wants the bridge and I have faith we’ll get it,” said Alson Atkins. “But the state has had grave responsibility. County roads were horribly damaged by the storm...I had damage too and I haven’t repaired all of mine yet. I’m still hammering away and so is the highway department. They’re doing a good job but they had a tremendous amount of work here in Rappahannock County.” As for the speeding problem on the bridge road, Atkins maintained that citizens have the responsibility to notify law enforcement personnel when they see violations. Asked again why repairs to the Sperryville bridge required a public hearing, Askew said “If we hadn’t had the flood, we probably would have had this meeting two months ago.” “Before the bridge was closed?” someone asked. “Probably,” the resident engineer replied. “If there had been no flood, the issue would be resolved and we'd be in the process of either rebuilding or dimantling the bridge,” Askew said. Responding to charges that nothing has been done to eliminate traffic hazards on the bridge road, Luke said state traffic engineers had been requested to evaluate the intersection in front of the Corner Store and had ruled no light. Carson Johnsor\ asked if the speed limit on the road could be lowered. “There’s nothing lower than 25 mph in the state of Virginia,” Julian Brown replied. “I’ve got the feeling that closing the bridge was an answer to the speeding problem,” Johnson said, insisting this was the wrong approach. “It should be turned over to law enforcement.” Luke replied that the state police, with one trooper patrolling the area between Warrenton and New Market, would be hard pressed to Some people can’t do their Christmas shopping early because they don’t know who their friends will be by holiday time. ++++ You can’t judge a country by what its opposing politicians say about each other.

Patrolling and traffic control “is not their function,” Luke explained. Askew hesitated to give an exact date on when repair work could begin on the bridge should the decision be made to keep it open. “I physically cannot get crews in there now to make temporary repairs,” he said. Askew explained that the Sperryville bridge repairs have low priority because there is a “readily available detour structure.” In one final shot, Thomas Baldwin stated he’d heard that Col. Luke recommended the bridge be closed. "You heard wrong. I’ve said that 17 times,” Luke replied. “Well, that’s what I heard,” countered Baldwin. RAYT. CANNON CO. REAL ESTATE SINCE 1961 RayT.
