Beginning this month. * customers can subscribe to Tele-Plan, an optional calling plan that offers up to 30 minutes of long distance calling to Front Royal or Culpeper (or both) for a flat monthly charge. For each minute over 30 minutes per month, customers pay an overtime rate. •Under Tele-Plan. Washington subscribers pay a monthly charge of $2.35 for 30 minutes or less of long distance calls to Front Royal. Customers are charged eight cents for each minute over 30 per month. For 30 minutes or less of long distance calling to Culpeper, the Tele-Plan charge is $2.85 per month, and 9.5 cents for overtime minutes. “Both optional calling plans (Tele-Plan and Circle Calling) offer a form of discounted toll service to communities of interest,” said Larry Houck. Centel's regulatory manager. “Our usage studies indicate these plans will benefit many Washington customers." The areas offered TelePlan and Circle Calling are determined by company studies on the frequency of calls to nearby exchanges. Both plans are completely optional and customers who do not choose either plan will pay standard toll rates. Customers can subscribe to Tele-Plan or Circle Calling, but not both at one time. Business customers will be charged the same rate as residential customers for Tele-Plan and Circle Calling. A one-time service order fee to cover administrative costs will be charged to subscribers to either plan. Washington customers can subscribe to Tele-Plan to either Front Royal or Culpeper, or both at one time. Tele-Plan rates apply only to calls from Washington to Front Royal and Culpeper, respectively. Circle Calling, the other new optional calling plan, will be available in April. The new service involves long distance calling to 18 exchanges within a 23-mile "circle" of Washington. Circle Calling works like this: for a monthly fee of $1.75. Washington subscribers can make long distance calls to any of the 18 exchanges (listed below) and get an average 30 per cent discount off regular toll rates. Circle Calling discounts vary according to the time and day of each call, but average 30 per cent lower than regular long distance calls. Board Holds 5 Hr. Executive Session tty UAKfimL MU 1UMINMJN Rappahannock Nrwn Staff Writer The Rappahannock school board set a record for executive sessions last Tuesday, holding a closed meeting from 9:20 p.m. until 2:30 a.m. At the board’s return to public session, chairman Beverly Massie announced decisions reached after closeting for five and one half hours: —to handle a student admission administratively. —to expel one student. —to allow a student to return to school after a 14 day suspension but with conditions that he attend alcohol abuse counseling with one parent and be barred from all extra-curricular activities for the remainder of the term, —to allow another student to return to school after a 12 day suspension with the conditions that he attend drug abuse counseling with one parent and be barred from all extra-curricular activities for the remainder of the term, —to give the custodian at the high school “extra renumeration.” Mrs. Massie announced after the executive session that the school board’s bus shop committee will make a recommendation at the March meeting. She also reported that a decision on school fire alarms, discussed in executive session, will be made after installation bids are opened at the budget input meeting set for February 19. The board opened the bids on school buses at 2:30 a.m. following a discussion of the buses in executive session. Much earlier, in the public portion of the meeting, the board agreed to buy two buses this year rather than one bus and a vehicle for transporting handicapped students. Assistant superintendent Rob McDaniel told the board members that the only child who would need special equipment is still small enough to be picked up bodily by either of the two female special education drivers. This child currently attends pre-school classes several days a week and will not be enrolled full-time until 1981-82 school year. “Somewhere in the immediate future, in the next year or so. it will be necessary to have a vehicle to transport the handicapped,” superintendent William Bloomer said. Dr. McDaniel noted that all special education students—not just the one child who will eventually be in a wheel chair—will be carried in the special ed vehicle. In addition, he said, the vehicle can be used to transport regular students involved in extra-curricular activities. According to McDaniel, a special education vehicle with a hydraulic wheel chair lift is required to meet state and federal mandates for providing the same transportation services to handicapped and nonhandicapped students alike. Budget Shortfall Following the bus bid opening after the executive session, the school board voted to purchase two Bluebird buses at a total of S35.365.66. The Bluebird bid was the highest received, running from S300 to $600 per bus over the other two prices quoted. Dr. Bloomer noted, however. that Rappahannock's experience showed that the Bluebird buses have better gas mileage. In addition, most of the buses in the school's transportation fleet are Bluebirds, allowing parts to be interchanged from one bus to another. The vote to buy the buses came despite a S3.000 shortage in the amount budgeted for replacement of vehicles. The 1979-80 school budget includes only S32.400 for the purchase of two replacement buses while the Bluebirds approved by the (ContinuedJpn Page 2) Exchanges Washington customers can call under Circle Calling: Front Royal.

From 6% To 100% In <80 or 981 ? Reassessment Options Face Supervisors By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Staff Writer By state law, Rappahannock County must soon base its assessments for local property taxes on 100 per cent of fair market value. But the date of implementation and the procedures to be followed in the reassessment have to be decided by the county supervisors, according to Fred Forberg, director of the property tax division from the state office of taxation. Forberg explained the options open to the supervisors at a work session last Thursday attended by E. P. Luke, Dick Latham, Hubert Gilkey and H. B. Wood along with clerk Diane Bruce, commissioner of revenue Merle Scoggin and deputy commissioner Becky Burke. According to Forberg, 1981 is the year that the county MUST reassess at 100 per cent of fair market value with the new figures reflected in tax bills that go out in 1982. But, he told the supervisor, if they wait until the deadline. the reassessment will have to be done by a more expensive private firm instead of by the state tax office. Should the supervisors opt for reassessment by the state office, then they have to complete the process in 1980. the last year that the General Assembly will allow state appraisers to offer this type of service. In order to schedule Rappahannock's reassessment, Forberg suggested that the supervisors make their decision at their March 6 board meeting. If the reassessment is completed in 1980. tax bills in 1981 will reflect the new figures. Local Assessors? Then, after the supervisors decide who to hire, they must make a further choice. They can elect to appoint a local board of assessors with one representative from each magisterial district who will work along with the Fire Damage Extensive Amissville Volunteer Fire Department president Jack Atkins estimates that damage from the fire that broke out at the department building last Thursday, February 14, will amount to between $75,000 and $100,000. ’ “But that’s just my figure,” he added, noting that the official appraisal will come from the insurance company representative who inspected the firehall on Wednesday. According to Atkins, the insurance company has officially classified the fire as of “undertermined origin” although i the blaze is BZA Approves Camp Permit By DAPH1NK HITCHINSOM Rappahannock Staff I ritrr After consulting with commonwealth's attorney Douglas Baumgardner, present by request at last Thursday's meeting, the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals unsnarled legal questions and voted to renew James B. Russell's special use permit for a campsite in Sperryville. The BZA took no action, however, on Russell’s request for approval of new construction at the Horseshoe Hills Family Recreation Inc.'s property behind the burnt out building that formerly housed a bar-be-cue stand. According to Russell, the property will be improved to meet guidelines set by the national organization of campsites and will include a comfort station with four bathrooms and showers and dousing site to dispose, of wastes. Russell also said he plans to improve recreational facilities there and build a small concession store for campers, and a restaurant. All campsites will be at least 3,000 feet from Route 211 and will have hook-ups for sewer and electricity, he told the BZA. adding that he intended to install his own sewage disposal system which m>!«11 Wa Antri/la tKa property's floodplain boundary. Access from Route 211 will be over a 30-foot right-of-way with 20 feet bearing surface. BZA member George Muth asked if Russell had any objections to requirements for screening the campground from view on Route 211. "None at all," Russell replied. “1 want to keep this as attractive and beautiful as possible," he added. “Will the restaurant be just for campers?” asked BZA chairman Josef Gardiner. “I would have to pen it to tourists also.” Russell answered. Construction costs are too high, he said, to build eating facilities for campers alone. Restaurant In Floodplain The bar-b-cue stand that was destroyed by fire will be torn down completely, according to Russell. “That is an eye sore." he said. If approvals are granted, he indicated that he will rebuild a restaurant at a different location further back from Route 211 but within the floodplain area cff the (Continued on Page 2) suspected to have been sparked by an “electrical problem.” Companies from Flint Hill, Sperryville, Castleton, Culpeper and Salem responded to the Thursday morning alarm but despite their efforts, the damage was extensive throughout the building. “There’s smoke damage everywhere," said Atkins, noting that most of the company’s protective fire fighting equipment was lost. In addition, the department's bingo machine was destroyed and the electrical circuitry in the fire hall was completely burned out. Intense heat also warped some of the supports in the metal building as well as damaging kitchen equipment. Last Friday, the electrical company restored partial temporary service to provide power to the engine room and office. “But we can’t even blow the siren—we've got practically nothing,” Atkins said. The firemen must rely solely on plectrons in their homes for fire reports. “That’s the only alarm system we’ve got right now," Atkins said. Until normal operations are restored, another company in addition to Amissville automatically responds to all fires in the area. Either Culpeper or Flint Hill is sent out, along with the crippled Amissville department depending on which is closest, Atkins said. The fire was discovered by Mrs. Russell Pullen, wife of the assistant fire chief. She found the building full of smoke and turned in the alarm and summoned her husband and Paul Poling. The company’s vehicles were gotten out of the building and by the time other fire departments arrived to help the Amissville units, the power room door was too hot to touch. According to Atkins, the building is insured', "’'But 1 don’t know how much it will cover.” he concluded. . The fire company is holding open house at the building this Sunday, February 24 from 1 to 4 p.m. so residents of the community and area may assess the damage for themselves and realize the effort which will be needed to restore service completely. professional appraisers to recheck figures. If the county chooses not to appoint this local board, Forberg explained, then it must provide an equalization board to review appraisals after the processis completed. The danger in relying on figures arrived at jointly by a local board of assessors working with professionals is that "assessments are so low right now. it's going to be difficult to find poeple who are willing to go even close to 100 per cent," Forberg warned. As of July, 1981, counties that are not assessing local taxes based on at least 80 per cent of fair market value will not receive Alcohol Beverage Control Board revenue from the state, according to Forberg. In the fiscal year that ended July, 1971, Rappahannock's share of ABC profits amounted to S20.575.56. Forberg predicted that appraisals here at 100 per cent fair market value will run “15. 16 times as high as they are now.” He estimated that the county’s current assessment is based on approximately six per cent of fair market value. "This business of assessing at six per cent is gone forever,” he said, adding that Rappahanock has “always made a conservative assessment and applied a conservative ratio to that.” In 1974; Rappahannock’s local board of assessors set appraisals at what they believed to be 60 per cent of fair market value. The tax rate each year since 1974 has been applied to 15 per cent of those assessment figures. (Continued on Page 2) Three Charged In Burglaries Through the cooperation and joint efforts of the Sheriffs departments in the courties of Fauquier. Stafford and Culpeper. Rappahannock Sheriff s Department was able to make the arrest of three subjects who had broken, entered and burglarized a reside^e near Amissville recenty. According to Sheriff W. A. Buntin. personal property valued in excess of $1600 was recovered. Charged with breaking and entering and grand larceny were James Alfred Penn of Catlett. Sugar Ray Webster and Richard Bundy, both of Goldvein. Additional arrests were made in Fauquier but these subjects were not connected in Rappahannock thefts. With the arrest of this trio, officers were able to clear 8 cases in Culpeper County, one in Fauquier and a dozen in Stafford in addition to the one in Rappahannock, said Buntin. CIRCUIT COURT JUDGES Carlton Penn and retiring Rayner V. Snead welcome three new faces to the bench Friday afternoon: Circuit Court Judge W. Shore Robertson. Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court Judge A. Burke Hertz and General District Court Judge John Alexander. Circuit, District, J&D Court Judges Take Oaths For the first time ever here, three new judges have been sworn in simultaneously. In somber ceremonies Friday at the Fauquier Court and Office Building, 40 Culpeper St., oaths of office were taken by new Circuit Court Judge W. Shore Robertson of Warrenton. General District Court Judge John Alexander of Warrenton and Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court Judge A. Burke Hertz of Flint Hill. Robertson succeeds retired 20th Judicial Circuit Court Judge Rayner V. Snead who served on the bench for 27 years in Loudoun, Fauquier and Rappahannock counties. He was named with ease Jan. 28 by the General Assembly to fill Snead's position. Alexander, a former Senator to the Assembly, succeeds outgoing 20th Judicial District Court Judge William W. Carson Jr. who retired in December. Carson plans toVresume his law practice with the firm of Bain, Trundle and Gulick of Warrenton. Alexander's appointment by the Assembly also was ungpntested. 4put a heated caucus battle. drawn along party lines, developed in Richmond before the Assembly named Hertz to succeed ailing J and D Court Judge William F. Moffett. Judge Carlton Penn who generally sits on the Loudoun bench led the solemn induction ceremony, introducing each judge-elect with thumbnail biography. Retired judge Snead administered the oath of investiture which each man recited over a Bible held by his wife. Flint Hill resident Hertz, 59, said he felt that the J & D jidgeship offered ‘‘an opportunity to have a profound impact on the lives of young people.” Snead . litiated a brief dissertation welcoming the three to the bench, on the duties and obligations of jurists by wryly cautioning, “I want to warn each of you new judges not to trip on your robe." The Reverend Joseph E. Penn of the First Baptist Church, 39 Alexandria Pike, delivered the invocation and benediction.

Board Session (Continued from Page 1) school board will cost $35,365.66. “Where in the budget can we find $2,900?” asked Mrs. Massie. “At this time. I can't project a category or line item (with a $2,900 surplus)." answered Dr. Bloomer, suggesting that the board consider asking the supervisors for an additional appropriation. A motion to buy the buses was approved unanimously. “And we will find the money in the budget." Mrs. Massie added. Public Session In the public portion of last Tuesday's meeting, the school board approved a senior class trip to New York City, scheduled for late May. Doug Nichols told the board that the seniors plan to take a bus tour of New York, see Broadway plays and tour the United Nations. The group will stay at the Sheraton City Squire, arriving late Friday afternoon. May 23. and leaving early Sunday. Ratio of chaperones to students will be one to eight and students will be accompanied by chaperones at all times during the trip, according to Nichols. Also in the open portion of the meeting, the board denied two requests for use of the schools, tabled action on a proposal for an energy audit to be funded partially by federal grant and discussed gasoline supply problems caused by a lack of adequate storage facilities. The board recessed at approximately 3 a.m.. agreeing to take up the rest of the items on the agenda for the regular February meeting at the special budget input session on February 19.

In reality, said Forberg, with the procedure that the county follows, the “average effective rate" is 26 cents per $100 of fair market value. With the switch to 100 per cent of fair market value assessment, Forberg acknowledged that the value of farm land will go up higher than the value of houses. To illustrate the impact of a new 100 per cent assessment, he estimated that taxes currently average about $2 an acre on most farm land. Assuming that appraisal figures will run close to the current sale price average of $2,000 an acre, property owners will end up paying $5 an acre if the tax rate is set at 25 cents per $100. In order to keep the tax burden split between houses and land in the same manner that it is currently divided, Forberg suggested that the supervisors consider adopting a use value tax ordinance to become effective at the same time as the new assessment. ‘‘The best avenue to maintain the status quo that you have now is through the land use vehicle,” he stated. He added, however, that the supervisors should “take a real hard look at land use taxation. You might only need it on agricultural and horticultural land” rather than on those two categories plus forestal and open space land as allowed in state enabling legislation. When land use taxation enabling legislation was first passed, Forberg said, no one thought that there’d be much interest in it. “But with fair market value assessment coming, almost all counties have taken a look at it and 72 (localities) in Virginia have adopted use value,” he added. Tax Equalizer “Use value is designed to ensure that the man farming in the urban corridor pays the same tax as the man farming in the rural corridor,” he explained. Land taxed at use value is divided into classifications according to soil type, figures on ^ the worth of property in each classification are then determined from data gathered in the county on the revenue generated per acre by farming or horticulture, Forberg said. If the supervisors decide to go with a 1980 reassessment conducted by state appraisers, then a use value taxation ordinance must be adopted by June in order to Have Daughter Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Jenkins Jr. of Amissville are the parents of a daughter, Julie Michelle, bom February 15. 1980 in Warren Memorial Hospital.

PUBLIC NOTICE In accordance with Section 15.1-431 of the 1950 Code of Virginia, as amended, the Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing in the Courthouse!

He advised the supervisors to delay enacting use value until the next reassessment if they can’t meet the June 30 deadline. The problem in Rappahannock, according to supervisor chairman E. P. Luke, is that the county has such a limited tax base that there's no palce to shift the tax burden if use value taxation is instituted. “We don't want to shift it from the land to the houses,” agreed supervisor H. B. Wood. Forberg acknowledged that the property owner with the large tract of land will be the real beneficiary under use value taxation as well as feeling the greatest impact from the reassessment if use value isn’t adopted. “The fellow with a house and land of equal value is not even going to know there’s been a reassessment,” he said. According to the commissioner of revenue, the highest assessment on agricultural land in Rap pahannock is now about $350 an acre. "Some of it is as low as $125," Mrs. Scoggin said, adding that wooded land ran about $100 an acre. She estimated the average assessment on farm land at $200 an acre. Taking that average, Forberg said, property owners will be paying approximately the same taxes after the reassessment as they are now on qualifying land if use value is adopted with a tax rate set at 35 cents per $100. In response to an inquiry on the administrative costs involved in running a use value taxation program, Forberg suggested that Mrs. Scoggin talk to the commissioner of revenue in Madison County where land use has been in effect for three years. He indicated that a representative from his office will attend the March 7 board meeting to discuss the reassessment further with the supervisors. Washington s Birthday A Family Affair Friday, Feburary 22, the American family will again have the privilege of honoring the name of George Washington. Called "Father of Our Country,*’ shouldn't there be something more significant, more dignified than joining the scramble for one day bargain sales? Or the cutrate sellabration specials? Something even beyond the hurrahs and the flutter of the red, white and blue? There is an alternative program, and it’s priceless. A family affair which lifts the admiration and deepens the respect due this hero of our American Revolution. Let us presume that after the family dinner has been served and Motheb duly complimented on her cherry pie, Dad would turn thfe conversation to the early boyhood of our first President. The account relates the story of a young lad brimming with exuberance and the ownership of a new hatchet, chopping down the family cherry tree. Let the family ponder a moment upon the next scene. Young George is in a serious predicament, aware of his guilt and confronted by an angry parent demanding who was responsible for the ruined tree. Significantly this just could have been Washington’s first decisive battle, a testing ground of moral courage. But the boy won a brilliant victory that day when he said, "Father, I cannot tell a lie....’’ This is the time for our present day father to seize the gilt-edged opportunity to drive home to his children a basic factor of character. It may also be the chance to reflect or reassess his own integrity. Even more important is the damage to an individual, to society or our nation when a lie is practiced. If the family is patient Dad may refer to another Washington anecdote in a long ago era before jogging and physical fitness were national obsessions. , The legend recalls his improbable feat of hurling a silver dollar across the Potomac River. But the story does serve a purpose. It underscores the fact that Washington’s six-foot frame was not by accident. Whatever his temptation he did not abuse his body, he built it. He disciplined his habits. He developed his stamina. He trained for hardship. And with this healthy physique, he not only enjoyed life, he also furnished the leadership to a faltering country and provided the glory of our present day independence. Then that final memory. The picture of General Washington on his knees, in the snow, at Valley Forge! It was winter. There was war. In \lfl it had been a long war. There was weariness—a desperate weariness and worry. In prayer he sought reinforcements, vigor to his faltering spirit, vitality to a flagging courage, direction to be born out of confusion. In trusting faith, he sought divine strength when all human resources seemed drained and empty. And George Washington went on to win! So son, dad or grand-dad, stand proud in your integrity, tall in a healthy body and strong in your trust in Almighty God. And the reflected honor which you possess will shine brightly on fellow patriots. America has furnished to the world the character of Washington, and if our American institutions had done nothing less, that alone would have entitled them to the respect of mankind—Daniel Webster Happy George Washington’s Birthday. ++++ The nightingale, famed of song and lore, is found in Europe but is not native to anywhere west of the Atlantic.

Camp Permit (Continued from Page 1) property. “What about insurance?" asked Gardiner. Russell replied that he could obtain insurance on a restaurant constructed within the floodplain boundary but acknowledged that his premiums would be higher than average. Baumgardner explained to the BZA members that Russell’s request involved two separate permits: a special use permit to operate a campground, (a use allowed by permit on the portion of the property zoned agricultural) and a variance for construction of buildings in a floodplain zone. “You have the authority to grant a variance for new construction in a floodplain although the intent of the ordinance is to prohibit it.” Baumgardner advised the BZA. “But the landowner will have to meet the burden of proof by showing a hardship and I think you will have to scrutinize this very, very carefully before you allow it.” (The Rappahannock County Zoning Ordinance states that “no permit shall be issued for any building, structure or sewage disposal system to be located on a floodplain." The ordinance, however, also allows the BZA to grant a variance to any regulation as the applicant can demonstrate that strict application of the ordinance will cause "undue hardship" not shared generally by other properties in the same zoning district. Section 16-2-2 which sets out the conditions to be met before a variance can be granted also states that “all variances shall be in harmony with the intended spirit and purpose of the ordinance.") Inspections Proposed BZA member Pete Estes suggested that the board take the aspects of Russell's application one at a time. “He already had a permit for the campground so there should be no problem with that.” Estes added. He suggested having the new permit stipulate compliance with the zoning or- 1 dinance as well as with ! provisions of Russell’s earlier permit. Estes proposed that the county engineer check the site to make sure the BZA’s conditions are adhered to. “We issue a permit and then we never see the place. We don’t know if the applicant is complying or not. A simple inspection by the county engineer will verify if he's in compliance with the zoning ordinance.” Estes said. If this approach is followed with Russell and all future applicants, Estes said, the county can avoid the kind of problem encountered with P. E. Steve Dement’s addition to his Sperryville antique business, constructed in apparent violation of conditions in the special use permit granted by the BZA. Estes suggested that the inspection by the county engineer be required in the permit with cost borne by the applicant. The BZA voted unanimously to grant Russell a special use permit, stipulating that he must comply with his orginial permit and the county’s zoning ordinance and calling for an inspection by the county engineer. Russell agreed to reapply for a variance on the new ! buildings that he proposes to construct at the campsite. As part of any further applications, Gardiner suggested that Russell include a map, showing location of floodplain on the property and sites for new construction and improvements to recreational facilities. “Also be prepared to discuss how a denial of the permit to put those buildings up will work a hardship on you.” Baumgardner told Russell. In a final remark before adjournment, Muth thanked the new commonwealth’s attorney on the behalf of the BZA members for attending Thursday’s meeting. “I think we’re starting on the right foot." he concluded.

MAIN ST.—CULPEPER NAMED MAGISTRATE—Mary Schumaker of Flint Hill has been appointed to serve as a magistrate for the twentieth judicial district which includes Rappahannock. A magistrate writes warrants and accepts bonds. Use Gasohol With Care With the current gas shortage resulting in low supplies and high expenses, many Virginia farmers are considering the use of gasohol in their tractors and farm trucks. “Although gasohol works well when used as a substitute for gasoline, it requires some special attention in safety-related areas.” says Glen H. Hetzel, Extension specialist in farm safety at Virginia Tech. Gasohol evaporates rapidly and tends to build up high pressure inside a fuel tank. Senior Citizen Intern Sought The Congressional Senior Citizen Intern Program will be conducted in the nation's capital from May 5-16 this spring, and Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson is again inviting interested residents of the Seventh Congressional District aged 60 or older to make application to his Washington office if they are interested in filling the twoweek job. This will be the fifth year that Robinson has named a senior citizen from the 21county. 4-city district to participate in the program of seminars and briefings on Capitol Hill that focus on issues of interest to older Americans. Officials from both the executive and legislative branches of government customarily address the seminar sessions. Retirees and other eligible constitutents interested in the position should submit a letter of application to Robinson, c-o the U.S. House of Representatives, \ir i_: r\ *\nc 1 c i »» v<< vj March 28. outlining their reasons for desiring to participate. Robinson expects to announce his selection in early April. Senior interns are provided with a small stipend out of their Congressman’s clerkhire allowance to cover living expenses during their stay in Washington, and most are housed in the same downtown hotel.

When the fuel cap is removed, there is a tendency for the gasohol to spurt out of the fuel tank. If the fuel tank is mounted over the engine, as it h in many tractors, the hot engine could cause a fire from this eruption. Gasohol also causes rapid deterioration of gaskets and seals in the carburetors and other fuel system components. This cause leakage problems which are a serious fire hazard, says Hetzel. Missing heat shields, faulty mufflers and leaky manifolds can cause excessive heat to reach the fuel tank. This causes high pressure in the fuel system which adds to the possibility of a bad leak from a blown gasket. Gasohol should be stored in underground tanks to prevent high vaporization losses. No components of the fuel system should contain aluminum parts,. Alcohol picks up aluminum oxide and water to form a milky sludge that can clog fuel systems. Users can expect some vapor lock problems in hot weather as well as hard starting in cold weather with gasohol. Carburetor icing may also occur in cold weather. “Gasohol can be used safely and it is one of the partial answers to our fuel shortages." Hetzel says. “However, it does require careful handling to be safe.” DMV Issues ID ’s For Non-Drivers If you don’t have a driver's license, proving your identity and age might be easier if you apply for a non-driver identification card issued by the Division of Motor Vehicles. Vern L. Hill. DMV commissioner, said the cards should be especially helpful to senior citizens seeking to qualify for discounts to which they are entitled at many places of business. The cards, first issued in July 1973, are available only to Virginia residents who do not have a driver’s license. They include the owner's name and address, date of birth, sex. signature and color photo. Enclosed in a plastic case, the cards cost S5 and are valid for five years. Last year DMV issued over 29,000 cards bringing the total issued in the past six and a half years to 114,484. Applications for the IDs are available at any DMV branch office or license examining station. Individuals seeking the IDs must furnish proof of identity and date of birth.

Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation V Fair Play In the interests of fairness, the Rappahannock school board must institute changes in the procedure followed in discipline cases under the school’s recently adopted drug and alcohol policy. The policy calls for students suspected of violations to be suspended pending School board action. We have no quarrel with the policy. The problems arise in implementation. By resolution, the board has decreed that it will not hold special sessions to deal with discipline cases. All cases are to be handled at the regular monthly board meetings. That’s fine if the suspected violation occurs the week before the regular board meeting. Then the board members can make a timely decision as to the guilt or innocense of the individual involved after a due process hearing. But what about the boy or girl whose suspected violation occurs just a few days after the monthly meeting? Under current procedure, they can be suspended from school for up to four weeks before the board hears the case. What happens if the board then decides that evidence is insufficient to prove that a violation has in fact occurred? Do they turn back the clock? How does the youngster regain the weeks of learning missed due to a suspicion that prov‘ ed false? Just a few months back, a student was suspended after cans of beer were found in his car parked in the school parking lot. The incident occurred just a few days before the regular board meeting. At that meeting, the young man convinced the school board that the beer wasn’t his, that he wasn’t guil ty of a drug and alcohol policy violation. He was immediately reinstated. If he had been caught with a friend’s beer in his car three days after the meeting instead of three days before, he would have missed four weeks of classes for naught. Last week in a marathon executive session, the board dealt with two violations of the drug and alcohol policy. In one instance, a junior, an above average student with no past history of discipline problems, was readmitted after 14 days of suspension. He was found guilty of possession—not use—of four and a half ounces of homemade strawberry wine while in school. When the violation occurred, the regular board meeting was weeks away. The young man’s parents requested a due process hearing at a special session. The board refused, so the parents pressed for an early hearing through the courts. As a result, the attorney for the school board traveled from Harrisonburg to the court house in Washington to plead the case. The school board’s refusal to hold a special meeting was upheld but the attorney’s bill still must be paid. In the second discipline case decided last week the board voted to reinstate a student after 12 days suspension for use—not just possession—of marijuana on a school bus. Should use of marijuana merit a less severe punishment than possession of homemade strawberry wine just because of the timing of the policy violation? We wonder how many teachers will report their suspicions on use or possession of drugs and alcohol if they know that the hearing to determine guilt or innocence may not occur for four weeks. r'i * •»'t NeededLaws ni uie supervisors meeting fast week, chairman E. P. Luke tossed a smoke bomb at the proposed ordinance designed to help control road hunting in Rappahannock. Clouding the issues with questions of constitutionality, he described laws that would prohibit transporting loaded rifles and shotguns in a motor vehicle as illegal search and seizure. u He did this despite the commonwealth’s attorney’s assurances that the ordinances, if adopted, will be SUBJECT TO the laws of search and seizure. The issue raised by the proposed new laws is not constitutional. It’s not whether we’re going to allow unreasonable search and seizure in Rappahannock. The issue is whether we’re going to give our game warden a tool to fight slob hunters who brazenly cruise up and down the back roads at five miles per hour, looking for deer to kill on posted property. What doesn’t the proposed ordinance do? It doesn’t give the game warden the right to arbitrarily stop and search cars. First, he must have reasonable cause to believe that an individual has a loaded rifle or shotgun. Reasonable cause doesn’t cover a pick-up truck traveling down Route 211 with a rifle stowed in the rack. Reasonable cause does include that same pick-up driving five miles per hour back and forth on the Shade Road with a barrel sticking out the window. It covers the pick-up if it’s parked on the shoulder of Route 729 at daybreak with guns propped up on the seats. But even with reasonable cause, the . game warden doesn’t have carte blanche approval to search. His right to search extends primarily to the chamber of the gun. If he’s following a suspicious vehicle and sees the barrel of a shotgun disappear as he pulls the driver over, the game warden then has cause to look under the seats for the loaded firearm. But he has no reason to search a glove compartment or trunk. There have been other smoke screens thrown at the ordinances. Opponents insist that they will take away our right to carry arms and deprive us of much needed protection. First of all, we don’t think there’s an army of hoodlums amassing on Rappahannock’s back roads, just waiting for these laws so they can waylay defenseless old ladies who no longer can carry their loaded rifles and shotguns in their cars. But if they’re out there, a pistol can hold them at bay. The proposed ordinance prohibits ONLY rifles and shotguns—not handguns of any type. If the new law is adopted, we’ll still be able to carry umpteen loaded lugers on we irom seat, u mat s wnai we need 10 feel safe. And what about the fanner who needs his loaded rifle to shoot a ground hog or a stray dog that’s running his cattle? Will this new law work a hardship on him? Only if he’s hunting ground hogs from his car and there aren’t many bagged that way. Besides, shooting from the road is already illegal. He’d have to get out of his truck and climb over the fence into his pasture before he could fire at the dog—all a safety risk with a loaded rifle. Col. Luke suggested that those concerned about the illegal road hunting put pressure on the state game commission to change the six week deer season east of the Blue Ridge so that it coincides with the two week season on the other side of the mountains. We agree that the longer season in Rappahannock adds to the hunting pressures here, including the pressures from slob road hunters. But our longer season isn’t set arbitrarily. It’s decided upon after exacting studies of the animal population by game commission biologists and takes into account the number of hunters in the area, previous number of kills, available food supply and other factors. If our season was shortened, we’d have to see the doe days extended and a lot of currently posted land opened to hunters or else we’d soon be overrun by deer. Finally, there’s the contention that the slob hunters aren’t from Rappahannock, that they descend upon the county from less law-abiding areas, particularly from Stanley. People who cite this point argue that we shouldn’t pass a law that will intarfara with lnanl sportsmen when all the potential violators come from else where. Do they? Is that why supporters of the proposed ordinances—natives of Rappahannock and long-time residents—are afraid to voice their support at public hearings? And they are truly afraid. They’ve told us so. They don’t want to be quoted in the newspaper because they fear retaliation. They worry about someone burning their barn or shooting their cattle. Are they afraid of the boys from Stanley? Not likely. How many Stanley residents read accounts of public hearings in the Rappahannock News? These county farmers and landowners are afraid of their neighbors right here in Rappahannock We shudder at the possibility that their fears may be founded. The chance that there are people here who will strike if their “right” to carry a loaded rifle or shotgun in a vehicle is challenged is all the more reason why Rappahannock County needs these new laws. 1 Our Rappahannock Heritage Delegate’s Report ByGEORGEBEARD„ It seems there was this staunch Republican who found out he didn’t have very long to live. So he attended the Republican Catfcus in his tdwn and resigned from the party. Thi next week he attended a Democratic mass meeting and officially joined their party. He later told his friends if he was gonna die, it might as well be one of them. Today was Valentine's Day and my thoughts for a moment were of my grandchildren back home opening their Valentines and eating their Grandmother's heartshaped cookies. I’ll bet they had fun and I was missing them. Speaking of hearts, there were some bleeding hearts here today and some bad legislation having a tough time getting through. One which resurfaced today was the tax rebate bill. The Richmond TV and newspapers have consistently mislabeled this bill by calling it the food tax bill. It is a bill in lieu of sales tax removal. I voted to bring this bill out of Committee and on to the Floor thinking that those who filed income taxes would get a $33 credit or refund. This turned out not to be the case. Instead, any 18-year old or older merely signs a small piece of paper with a Social Security number and they will get a check in the mail. It would have cost our State millions of dollars going to many underserving people and only doing a halfway job to those who need it, the elderly. So when the bill came on the Floor I voted against it. It was dubbed by Beard many as a “welfare bill" which is not what our people wanted. Here is one example: a widow who lives off interest amounting to $8,000 a year would get nothing, while another widow who lives off tax exempt securities with an income of $80,000 would get a refund of $33. There are many other examples which show inequities that space will not allow at this time. On the last vote taken today, I voted to send it back to the Finance Committee for another plan. The state is operating on inflated dollars which require inflated cost of services and many now agree that this loss has to be replaced until inflation is over, whenever that is. Today I voted to take the tax off nonprescription drugs, which I know will help the elderly. The law is similar to the one in Pennsylvania. That state claims its system will not put too much hard Nat’l. Horse Symposium To Be Held In Va. Virginians will be given a rare opportunity to take advantage of a storehouse of equine knowledge when the National Youth-Leader Horse Symposium is held on the Virginia Tech campus Thursday through Saturday, March 13-15. Tech’s Donaldson Brown Center for Continuing Education will be the site of the fourth annual event. A total of 50 lectures and demonstrations and 32 exhibits from 25 states will be featured. Exhibits will be included from seven national breed, show and trail organizations. All horsemen and horsewomen, adult and youth, from all states are invited to participate. Special sessions will focus on shows, safety, careers, demonstrations, trail riding, riding for the handicapped and innovative topics related to youth educational programs. Speakers from 25 states will be featured at the symposium that is designed to provide educational support to all youth programs across the nation. A special aspect will be an opportunity for youth and parents to be involved in individual career counseling sessions. Pre-registration, is suggested by March 3. For details contact Dr. Arden N.

It goes into effect in 1982 if it passes the Senate. ’’ Tomorrow a bill comes up to remove a tax on alcohol. Yours truly will be casting a No vote against this rascal. It was discovered that a couple of agencies’ budget requests were in error, so these funds have been shifted to education, corrections and mental health. Some of us have been trying to get more funds for Medicaid and Medicare. I got a call from a dentist in Orange who uses this program to care of the indigent children and the elderly. He requested a $2 increase because of the rapid increase in the cost of silver. So far we have not been successful. There are more than 30 agencies requesting increases in their budgets and more than half of them will not be successful. If we cannot get a replacement on the food tax there has got to be an increase in the Medicaid and Medicare fund for the Senior Citizens. Their number is steadily increasing so the need is there. There is a bill. House Bill 731. which will reduce retirement funds for State employees and I believe we have enough Delegates lined up to kill this legislation. The ( patron has a suspicion of this movement and plans to * amend it before it reaches the House. It will not fly unless it is right, if you pardon the pun I believe you can “bank on it.” That's all for now. I hope all the good folks in the 25th Legislative District had a Happy Valentine’s Day cause some of the comics down here didn't make out so good today. Letters To The Editor Not Funded By School To the editor: As biology teacher at RCHS. I must respond to Mr. Mundy’s critical reference to the hanging plants in the biology room. Some of his criticisms may be justified. But to suggest that these problems are the result of poor spending priorities depicts ignorance at best. From my experience at RCHS. establishing worthwhile priorities isn’t the problem. Finding funds is the problem. During each of my four years at RCHS. school funtU have contributed between $100 and $150. Students themselves have contributed between $200 and $250 in the form of a $2.00 lab fee. The remaining $200 to $300 came out of the teacher’s pocket. This is not to mention the many gratefully accepted material contributions from onnonrnnH norontc fripnH c and community members which have helped widen our biology program. As for those plants being some sort of horticultural frill—1 think that’s nonsense. I wouldn't have bought all those hanging planters, brackets, bags of potting soil, and rope with money out of my own pocket if I’d thought that. These things could have been provided by school funds had they stretched that far. In the same way. school monies could have purchased the long customized watering hose used to water those plants. (The hose needs to be long in order to reach the faucet in the room across the hall since there’s no water supply in the biology room.) Most of the plants themselves were gifts from interested parents and friends. The rest were paid for out of the teacher’s pocket. I think we are all aware that there are problems in our county schools. Money can’t solve all of them. But yes. Mr. Mundy. there’s no reason it shouldn’t be considered once in awhile. JAMES W. WOOD Washington Farmers Market To the editor: Arlington County is opening a farmers’ market on Saturday. May 31. and many of us who live in the county can hardly wait for that day. We hope that amongst the readers of the Rappahannock News are farmers who will be interested in selling some of their produce at our market. The market will be open every Saturday between 7 a.m. and noon until the end of October. It will be located at the corner of 14th Street North and North Court House Road on Court House grounds. The place selected for it should be convenient for both buyers and sellers. It should not be difficult to bring produce to because it is only two blocks from an exit to Route 50. Customers will also find it easy to get to as it is only a block from a Metro station a/nd a major bus line. There is also ample free parking on ^/Saturdays in the nearby 'I county parking lot.

LOUISE CHESNUT Arlington \ Disaster To the editor: This letter comes to you as a plea. Yop all know about the tragic fire which has almost destroyed the fire house. The fire engines and ambulances were saved, but everything else—except the metal outer walls—are devastated. Both the firemen and their rescue squad do everything that is physically possible for them to do. They have no radio equipment nor telephone, but at the present time, neighboring fire companies and rescue squads are accepting their calls. Although they have insurance, it ft not enough to cover the entire destruction. This is a plea for help. They need help, and also need new adult members. Can you help? Please, this is a real plea. Every member has the community welfare in his heart. They reach out both hands in constant helpfulness to their fellow man. „ This comes to you from one who is vitally interested in the community as well as the fire company. May I add, please refer to that which was said about Jesus (Acts 10, verse 38) “He went around doing good.” PHOEBE GREEN Amissville Volunteers Deserve Help I can’t get over the reaction people can have for something as unfortunate as the fire at the Amissville fire house just last Thursday, Feb. 14. In just the past few days I have heard numerous complaints of being inconvenienced and even going so far as to say. “Tough! I’ve contributed my share already.” There will, no doubt, be several of us who will be inconvenienced for a while now as a result of this fire. M.*t us not forget that this loss is not just a problem for the fire department, but it should be of great concern to everyone this organization serves. Now, more than ever before, this department needs people who want to work and give of their time to a very worthy cause. To just drive past the building it doesn't really appear damaged at all. I couldn't believe the sight when I took a tour inside. Walls blackened with soot, floors with patches on holes made by pieces of the ceiling that fell, every wire burned. i_i_u.. fire. Knowing, personally, the energy and genuine enthusiasm that went into building and running this fire house, my heart goes out to every member who took part in all the work. The people who will tour the remains this Sunday will surely feel a great sense of personal loss, as I did. The men and women who now work in this fire department, rescue squad and ladies auxiliary are volunteering their time and contributing their knowledge and training for every man. woman and child whose lives might be threatened by fire, sickness and accidents. And they don’t stop after just a time or two a year. Every day. year in and year out. no matter what the weather they respond to the call of others as though their own lives depended on it. True, there aren't many available to respond ..in Amissville during working hours. Due to the obligations they have to their families and jobs, they have no choice. This is why more people who are in Amissville during the day (working or not) should consider helping if there is any way possible. I wonder if there is anyone who actually believes they will never need help from the fire department and rescue squad. It's so easy to turn our backs and say. “They don’t need me; let someone else do it this time.” Suppose the alarm sounded calling for aid for any one of us and every member of a fire department or rescue squad said, “Oh. they won't need me today, let someone else do it this time." what could we do? The up-to-date equipment and training that is here in the local fire department helps to keep our fire insurance costs down. So. we benefit from this organization even before we actually need personal emergency aid. This is one of the many blessings we take for granted everyday. People caring for people is certainly a blessing. We are all so busy we don't think ofien enough to stop and show some sort of gratitude. Please let's stop criticizing and tearing down the good works in our community. The first step could be to come out this Sunday and see for yourself. Fortunately, there are those who do realize already what is involved in running a fire department and have been very generous with their support. I hope they will go one step further now and encourage their neighbors to do the same. ‘‘So let us not become tired of doing good...so then, as often as we have the chance we should do good for everyone.” Galatians 6:9-10. ELEANOR J. ATKINS P.S. I hope everyone, everywhere will be more willing to support their local fire department, rescue squad and ladies auxiliary. The goodness, given will be returned many times over. ++++ The largest bird in the Western Hemisphere is the Rhea, a South American relative of the ostrich.

Casanova Races Scheduled Saturday Although traces of snow still remain in scattered patches throughout the Virginia countryside, the work that's going on in the little village of Casanova in Fauquier County serves as a reminder that spring can’t be far behind.

Miller’s Poll Shows Opposition To Gas Tax EMPLOYEES’ RIGHTS A reportedly helpful idea, posting notices of employees' rights under Virginia rightto-work laws, was killed in the Senate Commerce and Labor Committee. Rappahannock's Sen. Nathan H. Miller proposed Senate Bill 125 to require the state Department of Labor and Industry to display such notices in “places of employment." “We had testimony from the National Right-to-Work Committee, the Virginia State Chamber of Commerce and a private citizen from my district who was the victim of repeated harassment when she refused to join the union where she worked," said Sen. Miller. “Obviously." he said, “the labor leadership had done their homework." ++++ MILLER’S POLL-Fifty-six percent of the Rappahannock respondents to Sen. Nathan H. Miller’s poll on issues before the 1980 General Assembly favored increasing the state's gasoline tax.

This byproduct of the fruit industry has a feeding value similar to grass silage and is well liked by cattle. However, it should not be fed with urea or liquid and dry supplements that contain urea or other sources of nonprotein nitrogen (NPN). says H. John Gerken Jr.. Extension specialist in animal science at Virginia Tech. "«■» juvn ii iiiai this combination can result in birth defects and stillborn or weak calves when fed to pregnant animals. The reason for this problem is unknown, says Gerken. but producers using apple pomace should be cautioned to use only natural supplements such as soybean, cottonseed or peanut meal as protein sources. Supplementation will be necessary since the protein content of apple pomace is quite low. Another alternative is to feed limited amounts of legume hay along ftith pomace. In fact, feeding some hay or other dry roughage with pomace is recommended since the fiber content of this feedstuff is ow. ++++ The short-eared owl hunts >n cloudy days instead of at light only, like most owls. session, due to adjourn March 8 in Richmond.
