Dognappers Suspected Here Bv DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Nwi Staff Writer Dognappers appear to be at work in Rappahannock and neighboring counties. Over the past month, a rash of disappearances have occurred here, primarily in the hollows around Washington and Sperryville and in the vicinity of Flint Hill. Most of the pets have vanished over the weekends. Families have Awakened Sunday morning or returned from church to find dogs missing. Strange trucks and cars have been spotted cruising the area where dogs have disappeared. In some inSchool Bus Shop Robbed The Rappahannock County school bus shop was entered and burglarized late Sunday night or early Monday morning. According to Trooper R. A. Baines, entry was gained by prying open a side door to the building. The officer said among articles taken were assorted vehicle parts, drinks, snacks, a battery charger and gasoline which was removed from several school busses. Gasoline was taken a couple weeks ago from some of the busses, said Baines. Sheriff W. A. Buntin also reported the theft of gasoline from Rappahannock Coop in recent weeks. Their investigations continue. stances, drivers of trucks and vans have been seen trying to lure dogs into their vehicles. Reports have placed a blue panel truck with “Dog and Cat Research Laboratory” in white letters heading south toward Charlottesville on Route 29 around Christmas. The blue truck was also seen in Gordonsville and Brightwood at the same time that pets began disappearing there. A second truck from Hilltop Dog Laboratories in Scottsdale, Pennsylvania, was seen in Orange County and Unionville at the same time that a number of animals were reported missing. Several Rappahannock residents who’ve had pets vanish noticed either a red pick-up truck or a blue van near their homes about the time that their dogs disappeared. Phyllis Irwin lost a black labrador retriever on December 9 and a smaller black and white spotted mixed breed on December 16. Neither animal was a wanderer and both disappeared on a Sunday. Irwin is one of the pet owners who saw a red pickup truck near her home. She said there were several unfamiliar vehicles in the vicinity at the same time that belonged to hunters. She recalled that she became suspicious of the red pick-up because “it never went out into the field like the rest of the hunters did.” Dot Estes is sure that her black and white collie-husky cross was picked up by dognappers in Old Hollow just before Christmas. According to Mrs. Estes, the dog was very hostile towards men. She suspects a tranquilizer dart was used to subdue the animal^and noted that her small, rust-colored collie mixed acted frightened and disturbed foj^about a - week after the First dog disappeared. “Rusty” alsovanished just after the holidays. Also in Old Hollow, Judy Harrison lost a miniature schanuzer at the same time that Mrs. Estes’ first dog disappeared. Harrison noted that her other dog, a large, unfriendly German Shepherd, displayed unusual behavior, for several days, also acting nervous and frightened. The Atkins family in Old Hollow had their beagle vanish shortly before Christmas and last week, another family reported a beagle missing in the same hollow. Nappers A Possibility “There’s a possibility that a lot of dogs have been picked up by ’nappers,” said county dog warden Jack Bruce. Bruce is not convinced, however, that dognappers are behind the majority of disappearances. “I’ve been in this business for 21 years and it’s been going on ever since I started,” Bruce said. “A lot of people pay no more attention to their dogs than they do to an airplane going over until the dog’s missing. Then the first shot out of the box is ‘Someone has stolen my dog.’ “Nothing would make me happier than to catch a dognapper," Bruce said, but (Continued on Page 4) , Film Night Scheduled The Cub Scouts of Washington’s Pack 123 vdjf sponsor a movie night this Friday.

Trustees Seek Advice In October, Virginia Attorney General Marshall Coleman released an opinion that found school board appointments made in June by the Rappahannock electoral trustees invalid under the state's Freedom of Information Act. At the request of an electoral trustee, commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner has recently reviewed Coleman’s opinion and will soon meet with the trustees to advise them on what course of action to take. Baumgardner declined to say what his advice will be. "That’s privileged information between attorney and client," he maintained. The trustees met last June to consider nominations for school board appointments from Wakefield (Flint Hill, Huntly and Chester Gap) and Hampton (town of Washington and vicinity) Districts. The trustees adjourned the June 21 meeting without taking any action and reconvened publicly on June 25. At that time, acknowledging that the group had gathered in an earlier, private meeting, chairman C. E. Johnson, Jr. announced that Robert East ham and Charles Bdred had been appointed. The trustees, however, failed to repeat the vote taken on the two candidates. Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act requires that all votes cast in executive or closed sessions must be repeated publicly in order to be valid. According to legal sources, the trustees can bring their earlier actions into compliance with state law merely by meeting again and voting in open session to fill the two school board vacancies. In his opinion, Coleman also held that participation of electoral trustee Granville Eastham in the selection of his brother, Robert Eastham, as a school hoard member did not constitute a conflict of interest under state statutes.

In doing so, they restated their position that large lot zoning is the best tool for preserving open space and agricultural land under Virginia’s current enabling legislation. Two of three general development goals included in the draft comprehensive plan where rewritten at the January 17 meeting. Instead of calling for a cluster pattern in significant new land use developments, the goal reads that new developments “should be planned and designed so as to reflect a large lot pattern.” Newbill Miller, chairman of the planning commission’s comprehensive plan committee and mayor of Washington, argued that clustering encourages the development of land that’s easiest to develop—the same land most suitable for agriculture that the planners want to protect. "What bothers me is where are you going to have a place in the county to develop,” said Dick Latham, questioning the deletion of the cluster provision. "They can develop most anywhere they want to,” Miller replied. If a developer meets the requirements set .down in Rappahannock’s zoning and subdivision ordinance, said Miller, 'hen the county has no option but to approve a development proposal. He 'noted that subdivisions on one acre lots are currently allowed if the developer puts in public water and sewer. Should clustering be permitted, that same developer could reduce lot size te a quarter acre in exchange for keeping a percentage of the land in open space, according to Miller. “Invariably, they use flood plain for the open space. Or in Rappahannock's case, they’ll develop all the flat land and leave the open space on the ridges,” he maintained. By consensus, the planners agreed to substitute a reference to large lot zoning in place of the clustering provision in the general development goals. Public Services The final objective of the three goals listed under general development called for the county’s unincorporated villages to be a focal point for development and provide “at least a basic range of public services.” Concerned that the wording on public services would commit the county to supporting sewer systems for its villages, the planners rewrote the objective to state that the county will provide only ‘‘some community services.” “I doubt if our villages can take much more development without complete water and sewer systems,” said Miller. He noted that population projections in the draft comprehensive plan estimate the county’s population to grow by just 3,000 in the next 20 years. “That’s not enough people to pay (for sewer and water systems),” Miller added. Providing public water and sewer systems in the villages doesn’t suit the taxpayers of Rappahannock County or its people, he said. Under goals for residential development, the planenrs struck an objective calling for (1) significant housing developments to occur in village areas and (2) clustering to be encouraged. The planners agreed that land use developments in Rappahannock County should instead be designed and planned to maintain the county’s low density. Planner Walter Masteron noted that approval by the health department of a new type of aerobic sewer system will allow development of hundreds of lots across the county that are platted but not yet built on. Miller remarked that the planning commission will reconsider including a cluster provision in the comprehensive plan if the supervisors support the concept. In the section on goals for public facilities, the planners agreed to omit fire and rescue organizations from the list of groups that will be included in capital improvements planning. They left a second objective—“to encourage that programs for extending public utilities in the county be in concert with the economic, natural resource, residential and public facility policies set (Continued on Page 3) Back To Class For Eastham Robert Eastham is going back to school. At last Tuesday's school board meeting, he announced his intentions of catching the bus in Flint Hill each morning. following the regular student schedule and taking the bus back home when the afternoon bell rings. "We’ve had continual requests and suggestions from teachers, administrators and students to find out what really goes on in the schools. For 12 days, 1 plan to spend the day exactly as a student would spend it,” Eastham explained. "I will watch, look and. at appropriate times, I’ll ask questions.” “This will also give me the opportunity to rap with teachers,” Eastham continued. “I’m going %>aefe to school because some people accuse me of being stupid.” he added jokingly. Superintendent William Bloomer said the administration had no objections to school board members attending classes at both schools. “I’d just like to suggest that you participate fully in student activities. If a test’s being given, you take it!" he said, grinning at Eastham. “Would the invitation be open to those who can’t meet the bus schedule?” asked board member Alan Stokes,^ indicating that he. too, might attend classes. “I have no objections?’ Bloomer answered. “Our students are fairly accustomed to visitors," added assistant superinient Rob‘'McDaniel. “I “tfilflt' you*ll disrupt anything.” — Rapftahannnrfc N«**» l*hnt«»/l)M|>hn<‘ H utrhiiwnn SCHOOL DAYS AGAIN—Rappahannock school board member Robert Eastham, the big kid in the middle, has followed through on his plans to attend classes at the elementary and high school. According to Eastham. he’s back studying the three “R!s” in an effort to learn more about what goes on in the county’s school and to have an opportunity to talk with teachers. Additional new lines of communication were opened recently between the school board and faculty as board members Beverly Massie, Alan Stokes and Walter Masterson met with teachers in a series of informal discussions held after school. First Ag District Gets Council’s Okay Rappahannock’s agricultural advisory committee recommended to the planning commission last week that the county's first agricultural and forestral district be aproved. The application filed by C. E. “Ned” Johnson covers 750 acres of land in the Sperryville area. The property, owned and farmed by the Johnsons since 1940, includes 112 acres of apple orchards, 90 acres of hay fields, 320 acres of pasture, 210 acres of timber and 11 acres of “waste” land. Johnson has requested that the ag district be approved for eight years. '“There are lots of ramifications In the creation of agricultural and forestal districts," said Gen. Hugh Exton, chairman of the ag district advisory council. He suggested th4t the supervisors consider whether districts will be "tax havens for big landowners” and if the district "discriminate against the small farmers who don’t have 500 acres but are trying to work their own land.” Exton added, however, that his committee saw no problem in approving Johnson’s application for a district. The key to approval, Exton said, is whether the land is agriculturally significant. The planners emphasized that landowners within one mile of the boundary of Johnson's proposed ag district may join in the application through February 3—30 days after notice of the application was first published. Any additional land will have to be evaluated by the advisory council before public hearings are held by the planners on the original application plus modifications. Agricultural districts. designed as a tool to protect and preserve agricultural and forestal land, confer somebenefits upon member properties.

Sometimes the solution is buying low-cost income property, a duplex for example. The down payment requirement is usually comparable to a single-family residence, but half the property is supplying income from rental, which helps in making the payments. Upkeeping is generally higher, and there are some added responsibilities of ownership. In a few years, however, it may be possible to use both sides of the duplex for income and buy a single-family house. The income will probably pay for the duplex with some left over to apply against the house payments. At the same time, you will be building an estate fbr your family with no strain on the budget. Before making your first housing decision, why not consult with a Realtor and have him show you some possibilities?

Sperryville By-Pass “The only road pattern not decided on is Sperryville. Will it be by-passed or not,” said Miller as the planners briefly scanned the draft chapter on transportation goals. “If you approve this agricultural district, it won’t be by-passed,” planner Pete Estes maintained, referring to a highway department optjon for improvements to Route 211 that called for a new, double lane road to bypass the town by going through property belonging to C. E. Johnson Jr. of Sperryville. I he by-pass and plans tor double laning Route 211 through the town were discussed at public hearings several years ago. No decision was reached by the highway department at that time and currently, Johnson has an application before the planners for formation of an agricultural and forestal district on his property. Estes’ claim that approval of the district will block any possibility of a Sperryville bypass met with almost a minute of silence from the rest of the planning commission. “Umph,” grunted several planners in unison. “That sure is a can of worms," planner Alan Stokes remarked. By-Pass Still Possible Actually, approval of Johnson’s ag district application WILL NOT automatically prevent the highway department from acquiring the necessary land for construction of a Sperryville by-pass. The agricultural and forestal districts act restrains but does not prohibit powers of eminent domain. Rather, it sets new procedures for the exercise of that power which apply if more than 100 acres are to be taken from the district. If a decision is made to procede with the by-pass through an ag district, the new rules will require the highway department to file a “notice of intent” with the Cumins Named To JMU Dean’s List D.ouglas Cumins ha,s qualified for the Dean’s List at James Madison University, Harrisonburg for the fall semester. He had a 3.4 average with a 15 hour course lpad. He is a junior in the university’s school of business. Cuptins is the grandson of Mrs. Ruth Perkins of Sperryvjlle. He is a graduate of Rappahannock County High School. Traffic Mishaps Two traffic incidents were reported this week, one on Route 707 west on January 21. Involved in the collision were Daniel Stuart Wright of Culpeper operating a 73 Ford pickup and Lys Gylys of Sperryville in a 79 Mercury. According to Trooper R. A. Baines, the vehicles met on a sharp curve and collided. Damage was estimated at S3S0 to the truck and at $500 to the car.« The following day near Laurel Mills on Route 618 Lawrence Zirn of Castleton operating a 74 Ford station wagon struck a deer. Trooper Baines reported damage to the car at $450. supervisors. The notice must include both a report justifying the taking of land from the district and an evaluation of all the alternatives that would not require action within the ag district. After receiving the notice, the supervisors, in consultation with the planning commission and ag district advisory council, must review the condemnation proposal for the purpose of determining its effect on the district and the necessity “to provide service to the public in the most economical and practical manner.” If the supervisors decide that taking land for a Sperryville by-pass may have an “unreasonably adverse effect” on the ag district, • they must issue an order prohibiting the action for a 60-day period. This step must be taken within 30 days from the date the notice of intent was filed. During the 60-day period, the supervisors must hold a public hearing and render a 1 decision. If they decide to prohibit the taking of land from the district, the highway department may appeal to the local circuit court. This change in rules makes expenditures by any nonlocal public agency, a local governing body or a public service corporation for the purpose of providing services for non-farm uses subject to public scrutiny. By evaluating alternatives to any proposed action within an ag district, the supervisors can ertsure that ONLY the proposed action, and not any alternative that wouldn't impact the ag district, provides the services in the most economical and practical manner. As this relates to the Sperryville by-pass, the highway department would have to show that a by-pass through an ag district is the most economical and practical approach to improving Route 211. Not In CP John Capelle, executive director for the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission, explained that he hadn’t included any mention of a Sperryville by-pass in the comprehensive plan because the highway department currently has no plan on how to proceed with improvements to Route 211. Noting that federal regulations are involved with completion of the arterial system, including improvements to Route 211 through Sperryville, Estes said the highway department may soon have no choice but begin work on the longdelayed project. Lewis Zindel called upon William Weaver to introduce the evening’s speaker. Tom Clowning, Supervisor of U.S. Customs Narcotic Training Center near Front Royal, revealed in his talk and film the magnitude of this noxious problem and the efficiency of the detector dogs. In a given period a single dog sniffed out a million dollars worth of drugs. An estimated five percent, a minor fraction of the amount smuggled into the country during the same period. Even more revealing was the record of a hundred dogs that brought about the arrest of seven thousand one hundred offenders. Gowning, who has had twenty-five years experience handling and training search dogs both in the army and customs, explained how the dogs are selected. They are chosen based on psychological fitness and keeness of smell. Scientific tests have shown their remarkable ability in this latter area, which is a hundred million times more sensitive than humans. The selections are made from various breeds of dogs, German Shepherds, retrievers and others that pass the test. Examination of travelers luggage at ports of entry, or cars crossing the border in only a matter of one to three minutes, a delay less inconvenient than a search by an official. The twenty-five minute film of true life searches was a graphic demonstration proving the almost impossible chance of escaping the detection of the dogs and the prompt arrest of the individual. ^^3 Complete X * One-Step Jk 3 BUILDING^ SUPPLY ^ • Paint • Lumber' • Millwork • Hardware Warrenton Building Material Co., Inc. on the By-Pass Warrenton 347-1400 POSITIVELY NO LOAFING - NO PARKING after store business hours ✓ on the SPERRYVILLE CORNER STORE PREMISES fffiecylrt * of ^lome cDecor~' Early's Carpet Sales & Service —Two Locations— Route 211, Amissville, Va.

J ANUARY 24. 1980 Save WEEK As an older rock 'n’ roller. I’m ready to put on sack cloth and rub ashes in my hair as a sign of mourning. I’m preparing for the worst, getting ready to join thousands of listeners in Piedmont Virginia in their search for a new spot on the dial if Warrenton radio station WEER follows through on tentative plans to change its format to "Top 40". Statistics show that buyers of single 45’s. that portion of the public that primarily determines which releases hit the top of the chart, are early and subteens from 12 to 15 years old. Their tastes tends to run toward disco and "bubblegum music," songs with a simple, catchy beat and repetitive lyrics. There’s nothing wrong with this kind of music. Millions of teeny boppers turn in to it every day, snapping their fingers and tapping their toes. Hundreds of radio stations across the country pump it out around the clock. But "Top 40” doesn’t appeal to everyone. It certainly doesn’t appeal to me. There was a time when I snapped and popped with the best of them but those years are long gone. I haven't outgrown rock ‘n’ roll and probably never will but the sound broadcast by "Top 40” stations lost its appeal years ago. There are lots of folks just like me out there in radio land. For years, WEER hs filled the void for us. Our tastes run a little more low brow than classical, a little more high brow than “Top 40” and somewhere parallel to country and blue grass. PEER’S deejays have worked hard to satisfy our wants. They play a variety of sounds designed to appeal to long-in-the-tooth rockers. Selections are taken primarily from albums, some new and some not so new, recorded by the best musicians and vocalists rock *n’ roll has to offer. And sometimes, if we feel a little cultured. WEER has classical music on Sunday morning. If we feel religious, WEER has gospel. On Thursday evening, the station broadcasts jazz. On Saturday morning, swing enthusists can hear the big band sound and on Saturday afternoon, country pickers can tune in to blue grass. WEER’s owners are considering a change in format because they think nobody out there’s listening. We can prove otherwise by writing to WEER, Box 817. Warrenton and showing our support for the kind of music the station currently features. It’s time to fight if we don’t want to switch. D. Hutchinson Delegate’s Report ByGEORGE BEARD Well, we are off and running, committee meetings have started, and bills are beinning to roll. Most bills so far have been* of a local nature so nothing has happened that would affect us back home. Speaking of off and running, it reminds me of the story the lady at the lunch counter told last Friday. Everyone knows her by the name of “Chicken' and for many years she has made sandwiches at the Capitol for hundreds of Delegates, Senators and many Governors. 1 was a little late Friday and told her 1 wanted a sandwich and milkshake to eat while on the road. She told me a story about a Senator Carter from the Valley who years ago always bought three hardboiled eggs to eat while driving. He'd rush in, pick up the eggs, put them in his pocket and was on the way. After leaving Richmond, as was his usual custom, he reached into his pocket, took out an egg and cracked it on the steering wheel so he could peel it off while driving. What he did not know was that the egg was raw! Down slushed the egg all over the steering wheel, britches, shoes and floor of tjbe car. “Chicken” said she ^liever saw a man try so foard not to cuss when he returned to her shoo on Monday. Now for the serious business at hand. As you good folks know 1 have already stated I would not support a sales tax on gasoline. So I need to hear from you good people back home. See the questionnaire in this week’s Rappahannock News paper after reading the explanation below. The Governor has stated that the Federal Government ha^ mandated that all cars have to meet the following standards. 19 miles per gallon on the 1979’s, 20 miles per gallon on the 1980's, 22 miles per gallon on the 1981’s and by 1985, 27Vi miles per gallon. So his calculation by 1985 is that we will be traveling about the same number of miles on one-third less gas. Maintenance cost by the Highway Department, which comes off the top of highway funds are as follows: SI30 minion in 1979, S315 million in 1980 and by 1982, $268 million. The cost of asphalt has increased 50 per cent in the last two years. New construction and paving of some secondary roads in the sixyear plan have to be added to the above. So the Governor’s wholesale sales tax plan was proposed to keep up with the annual growth of the cost of maintenance and construction. There has been no official study of the Virginia Department of Highways since 1974. So two study groups will begin in 1980 to see if the cost of operation can be cut in any way. ■■■miKVBt r « -rm / Beard One study by the Executive Committee and one by the legislative committee known as JLARC. 1 know that the district office in Culpeper has been prudent in their hiring practices, but I can’t speak for these two buildings full here in Richmond. After reading the above, please answer question Number 2 of the questionnaire. [Now l ^ommeni on me sales tax on food. It is interesting to note that the sales tax bill was passed in 1966 to become effective in 1968. The primary purpose of the sales tax, then as now, was to fund the cost of operating the Community College system. A new concept in the field of education which has saved our students in*. Orange, Madison, Rappahannock and Culpeper thousands of dollars it would have cost them to attend the major colleges. All 23 community colleges have been asked to cut back on their staffing which is already overworked at Germanna. The total revenue from food alone in 1979 was S178 million and the anticipated revenue in 1980 is $193 million, which is 25 per cent of the total sales tax revenue. Makes a fellow really scratch his head to help find an answer. All I hope and pray is that. the right solutions will appear and that the egg on the steering wheel is not a raw /c(ne. See you next week. Questionnaire DELEGATE GEORGE P. BEARD JR. again welcomes your comments regarding major issues which now appear to be peeping over the horizons of this NEW General Assembly session. Please send your replys to: General Assembly Building, 910 Capitol Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219. 1. Would you favor raising the driving permit age from 15'/i to 18 as a means to conserve energy through gasoline? 2. Would you approve a gas tax by adding 4 per cent Sales Tax? 3. Would you favor increasing the base tax on gasoline from 9 cents to 11 cents per gallon to avoid the 4 per cent sales tax? 4. Would you support ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment? 5. Would you favor repealing the early parole law or either tightening the parole method? 6. Do you favor repeal of sales tax on food and nonprescription drugs? 7.

Do you favor a bill to prohibit the sale of ALL types of drug paraphenalia in stores in Virginia. NOTE: Before answering Number 2 and 6, please read my column for explanations. P — Rappahannock Newt Photo/S. Latham OFFICERS INSTALLED TO SERVE THE AMISSVILLE RURITAN CLUB this year include, from left, president. Butch Zindel; vice president, Jerry Curtis; secretary, Fred Naramore and treasurer, Charles Mills. Installation took place in December and they assumed their duties at last Wednesday’s meeting. Other officers named were F. L. Bowey, song leader; Herman Terhune, reporter; Frank McWhirt, sgt. at arms; Frank Donald, chaplain; George Kidwell, Bill Weaver and Gilbert Lawrence, 1,2 and 3 year directors, respectively. Under Protest Special Ed. Plan Okayed The Rappahannock school Doard approved the annual update of the county’s special education plan at their lanuary 8 meeting but only under protest. Board member Robert Eastham abstained from the vote, citing objections to “rubberstamping” the _glan that's required by bofh federal and state governments. According to Rob McDaniel, who serves as special education director as well as assistant superintendent. 97 persons ages two through 21 are involved in the county’s special ed program. Eight youngsters are between two and six years and one is over 18, he noted. Cost of the program totals $79,156 this year with approximately 60 per cent reimbursed by either state or federal sources. ‘‘What would be the Consequences if we didn’t approve this?” asked Eastham in reference to the 22-page update on the special ed plan. “Hypothetically. 97 court cases,” McDaniel answered. He explained that the county is charged by both federal and state law with providing “free appropriate public education" for handicapped children, ages two through 21. He emphasized that the school board didn’t have to approve the plan under consideration at Tuesday's meeting but that it did have to come up with a plan of some sort for providing mandated services. He added that new regulations effective next year .will make the school system responsible for identifying, locating and evaluating handicapped children from birth through age 21 and placing them in an appropriate educational program. Services For Unborn? Eastham demanded to know if the next step by state and federal government will S|8m MSS Beef producers will vote early in 1980 on whether they want a nationally coordinated beef research and information program. The upcoming referendum was announced recently and beef producers will be asked to register between January 28 and February 6. They will vote by secret ballot February 19-22. The order issued by the U. S. Department of Agriculture authorizing the program provides for a beef board of up to 68 producers to administer the program. There would be as many as five non-voting consumer advisors to the board. Each state or geographic area would be represented on the board in proportion to its share of the U. S. cattle industry. The program would be funded by assessments based on the value of cattle sold. During the first two years of the program, assessments could be up to two-tenths of one per cent of the value of* cattle sold (20 cents per $100). After two years, the board could recommend an increase up to five-tenth of one per cent. All sellers in the marketing chain would be assessed. The buyer at the point of slaughter would deduct the total assessment and forward it to the board. Any producer could request and receive a refund of the assessment paid. The Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service will conduct the referendum. The department’s Agricultural Marketing Service would monitor the program. Rules for registering and voting in referendums have changed. The department determined that 10 days (8 working days) would be sufficient for all producers to register and that the four-day voting period would result in a more efficient voting procedure and reduce administrative costs. A similar order, issued in 1977, although favored by 56.4 per cent of voting producers, did not receive the required two-thirds approval. Since that time, the Beef Research and Information Act has been amended by Congress so that a majority of producers will be sufficient for approval of the order. Following the change in legislation, beef industry organizations proposed a new order. A public hearing has been held in five locations. Based on the hearing testimony, the department issued a recommended decision and order in September. Producers, may register and vote at their local ASCS offices or by mail if information and ballots are requested in advance. The order and notice of referendum was scheduled for publication in the Federal Register December 14. Copies of the order can be obtained from the Livestock, Poultry, Grain and Seed Division, AMS, Room 2610S, U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. 20250. Referendum rules can be obtained from local ASCS offices or from the Emergency and Indemnity Programs Division, ASCS, Room 4095-S, U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. 20250. require school systems to provide handicapped services for unborn children “two months into the womb.” He maintained that the board had no option but to approve the six-year plan and described the action as “rubberstamping.” "I find the whole thing absolutely bizaare,” Eastham continued. He agreed that tax dollars should rightfully be spent to help handicapped persons whose families can’t afford to pay for special assistance but maintained that these services should be supplied by welfare and health departments, not school systems. “This type of bizarre mandate is why we can’t properly educate the students in this system,” he said, pointing to the hours McDaniel had to devote to the plan update alone. “Special education programs take up 75 per cent of my time.” the assistant superintendent acknowledged. Chairman Massie suggested that Eastham relay his opinions to the county’s representatives in the Virginia General. Assembly, She agreed wkfi ■ Eastham’s contention that normal students are being shortchanged as a result of the mandates that force schools to provide health programs. “But it’s required by law... We have no alternative but to follow the mandates,” Mrs. Massie concluded. Special Ed Plan In the 1980-81 term, the updated six-year-plan for special ed calls for: —a learning disabilities teacher for a self-contained classroom at the elementary school to handle students previously served at Piedmont. The regional school will offer no learning disabled classes next year. —co-ordinator for special services. —an additional half-time speech therapist to accomodate anticipated increase in caseload of the current full-time therapist, —an additional day for the school psychologist, increasing the time spent serving Rappahannock students from three days to four, —an additional day for the pre-school child development specialist, bringing that position up from four days per week to full-time. The vote to approve the six-year plan for special education was unanimous with Eastham abstaining. In addition Lto the'special ed plan, the school board voted unanimously to approve the updated five-yearplan for vocational education. The vocational plan calls for neither new personnnel nor new programs. AFD Approval Recommended (Continued from Page 1) eligible for use-value taxation, whether or not the locality has adopted a county-wide use-value taxation ordinance. Powers of eminent domain by local, state or federal governments are limited. Expenditures of public funds within a district, except for farm-related purposes, is prohibited unless the . expenditure is specifically authorized by local government following a public hearing. In addition, local government may not enact “nuisance ordinances” within a district that adversely affect farming and forestry practices unless the ordinances are necessary for the protection of public health, safety and welfare. Land within a district may be developed, subject to certain cpnditions. Local zoning and subdivision ordinance requirements must first be met. Non-farm structures or facilities not constructed by a public agency or utility must be financed by private funds. In addition, rollback taxes become due immediately if land receiving use-value taxation is changed to a use which doesn’t qualify for an ag district. A landowner or a group of landowners with a minimum of 500 acres may petition the governing body for approval of an ag district for not less than four, or more than eight, years. The proposed district must have an unbroken outside boundary line. The line, however, may encompass properties not included in the district application for a “swiss cheeses” effect. In addition, property owners within a mile of the district's boundary may tack on to the application as long as the core includes 500 contiguous acres.—D. Hutchinson Recycling Area residents are urged to take advantage of the paper recycling trailer located at the Amissville fire grounds on Route 211. Newspapers and magazines are accepted for recycling and a trailer load must be collected every two months in order to keep the facility in operation. You are asked to put your papers in brown bags, rather than tie them in bundles and stack them in the trailer. No metal or glass is acceptable. Dognappers (Continued from Page 1) added that he thought many of the missing animals had strayed or been struck by cars. He advised pet owners interested in protecting their animals—whether from dognappers or accidents—to make sure they carry identification. . Bruce said the first thing he does upon picking up a stray is check for tags. “I have a record with the owner’s name for every (county dog) tag that’s been sold. If 1 find a tag on the dog, it takes me just a few minutes to find out who it belongs to,” he said. Bruce added that out of 19 dogs picked up so far in January, only one wore a tag. He emphasized that it’s as much against the law to buy a tag and let the dog run without wearing it as it is to never buy the tag in the first place. A current rabies vaccination is the; only prerequisite for purchase of county tags. Bruce reported that a clinic will be held on February 2 at the Old Washington fire house from 10 a.m. to noon with shots at $3 apiece, approximately half the standard vet fee. Tattoos Discourage Thefts To both combat the threat of dognapping and ensure that strayed animals are returned, pet owners can have their dogs tattooed. Personnel associated with the Culpeper Animal Welfare League and the dog pound attribute the decrease in dog disappearnaces there to an increase in tattooed animals. According to Donna Roy from the Animal Welfare League, laboratories will not purchase dogs that have been tattooed. If dognappers pick up animals with a tattoo identification number, they dump the animal. Then when the dog is found, the owner can be traced by checking the number through a registry. “Tattooing has helped in Culpeper,” Roy said. She feels that dognappers will bypass an area if they think they have a 50-50 chance of picking up a toattooed animal which won't be accepted by a laboratory. The Culpeper League will schedule a tattoo clinic if it has 25 or more dog owners committed. Roy noted that the League makes no profit from these clinics and charges only what the tattooers charge. “If we don’t have 25 dogs, we have to make up the difference and we don’t have funds for that," she added. Persons interested in participating in a tattoo clinic should call 825-9599 or 825-9002. Dog owners with a missing pet can contact the Lost and Found Pet Registry at 8258283. Volunteers in that organization keep records of all lost and found pets in the area and attempt to match the two. They’ve been successful at reuniting dogs with their masters after the animals have been missing for as long as one year. The Lost and Found Registry will also supply owners of missing dogs with a list of all animal dealers and research facilities licensed by the United States Department of Agriculture. Citizens can aio in tne fight against dognappers by keeping their pets under close supervision and watching for suspicious looking vehicles, particularly vans and trucks. If a strange vehicle is spotted in an area where dogs have disappeared, an attempt should be made to get a description of the^ automobile and driver, including the license number, before contacting the Rappahannock Sheriff s Department or state police. “Good farm land is precious. It’s what this country is built upon. And once prime land is lost, you don’t go to the supermarket and buy a square foot of it.”—Phillip Alampi.

The Panthers went ahead in the January 18 game before the contest even started. Center Gay Leake, leading scorer for both the Panthers and the Skyline District, connected on a technical shot. The foul was awarded after a Madison player hung on the rim of the basket when he tried to dunk the ball during warm-ups. Larry Settle sent RCHS up by three with an easy bank shot after the game officially began. But Madison capitalized on three Panther tum-overs and held the lead until Mike Leake's shot at the buzzer climaxed a four comer stall that would have made Dean Smith proud and ended the quarter with the score 10-10. Madison jumped ahead by six at the start of the second quarter. Inspired by blocked shots from the two Leakes, RCHS rallied. With a minute left in the half. Dean Wilson scored, hustled down court to pull in a defensive rebound, then passed to Larry Settle ^-arho tossed the ball back to Wilson for a lay-up. pulling Rappahannock to within three. 19-22. at halftime. Mike Leake produced the first score for RCHS two minutes into the second half but the Panthers had already lost their edge and were down, 21-26. Turnovers kept Rappahannock from pulling back on top. The Panthers looked strong coming into the final quarter. A free throw by Gary Leake and a lay-up by Jimmy Tomko brought RCHS to within one. 34-35. With about six minutes left. Rappahannock again went into a short-lived stall until the Mountaineers were hit with a charging foul. Mike Leake made both ends of his one-and-one foul shot to give the Panthers the lead for the first time since the opening quarter. After regrouping during a time out, Madison answered with two fast baskets. 39-36.

Neither squad managed a score and with three seconds remaining on the clock, the Panthers had their last chance on an inbounds pass under Rappahannock's basket. Larry Settle threw the ball in, everybody went for it and Madison came up with it at the buzzer to hold on to the victory. Gary Leake was high for the Panthers with 15 points and 11 rebounds. „ The Madison Mountaineers slipped by the Junior Varsity Panthers last Friday night, 59-40. The Panthers played sloppy ball early in the game, throwing bad passes and trying poor shots. After Carl Frye made the opening basket Madison took the lead on two careless Panther turnovers. The Panthers, even though they were in the bonus spot early in the quarter, only made one free throw. The score at the end of the first quarter was 14-3. I he Panthers played better in the second quarter, making 50 per cent of their shots. Rappahannock was shooting throughout the period but put Madison at the foul line too often. Carl Frye, the rebounding force for the Panthers, ended the half with three fouls and had to be more cautious, giving up dominance on the boards. The Mountaineers led at the half 19-30, with Glenn Fletcher sinking a shot at the buzzer. In the opening minutes of the second half, the Panthers repeated their first quarter performance. They gave up six jumpballs and turned the ball over seven times. Rappahannock's biggest problem early in the third quarter and throughout the rest of the game was bad passing. Madison led 49-29 going into the final period. Rappahannock started the last quarter on the right foot when Rory Williams forced Madison into four early turnovers. But Rappahannock made only ohe basket on the following fast breaks because of poor ball handling and poor shooting. The Panthers came up 19 short at the end, falling 5940. Carl Frye was high for the Panthers with 14 points and 7 rebounds. Varsity Falls The RCHS Panthers surrendered without much of a fight, 49-63, to the Stonewall Generals at home on Monday, January 21. Gary Leake, Rappahannock’s leading scorer, sunk the opening basket and quickly followed up with six more points but then he went cold for the rest of the game. The Panthers held on to a two point lead for the first four minutes before Stonewall contained the Panthers’ offense. RCHS players rushed shots, lost the ball on turn-overs and began to falter on rebounding. For over four minutes, RCHS couldn't manage a score and trailed at the end of the first quarter, 19-11. The Panthers began the second period with a little more poise and pulled tt within three before they were hit with another attack of the turn-overs, giving the ball away 13 times in the first half. But foul shots kept the Rappahannock squad in the game and they left the court at half time ahead 25-24. The lead changed hands seven times in the third quarter before the Generals took it back for keeps, 37-38, at the close of the period. In the final eight minutes, the Generals outscored RCHS, 25-12, and won going away, 63-49. The Panthers connected on 71 per cent of their free throws but were ice cold from the floor, making only 36 per cent of - their field goal attempts. Turn-overs totalled 25 while the squad pulled in only 24 rebounds. Rappahannock's scoring ace Gary Leake had only eight points and nine rebounds, his lowest output of the year. All of Leake’s baskets came during the first three minute of play. ++■+•+ “A farmer’s decision to sell out, decisions by county supervisors on a sewer ex- * tension, or decisions by investors to buy farm land rather than other securities increases the pressure on agricultural lands.
