L. Goode fought the county for approval of a fiveacre subdivision to be developed on a 77-acre tract located just outside Flint Hill. After repeated denials on the application for rezoning the property to residential subdivision, the issue was settle in January, 1980, when Judge Carlton Penn okayed an agreement between Goode’s attorney and counsel for the county. Details of the agreement remain secret as a result of Penn’s order to seal the records. The outcome, however, is that the property is now zoned residential subdivision rather than agricultural. But at the present, despite the long legal hassle for authorization to subdivide into five-acre lots, owners of the property plan to use the land for grapes instead of houses. At the March 6 meeting of the Rappahannock supervisors, attorney Peter Luke asked the board for an indefinite extension on the time limit for recording the subdivision plat that allows the property to be parceled into 13 lots. Luke represents the new owners of the 77-acre tract, Richard and Page Johanson of Nokesville. According to Luke, the Johansons plan to establish a commercial vineyard on the land. By law, the subdivision plat must be recorded within six months of approval or the approval becomes void. Luke explained that his clients do not want to record the plat because this will entail dedicating for public use the portion of the property set aside for streets. The Johansons, however, do not want to give up rights to subdivide. If the commercial vineyard project fails, “they want to be able to market the property as a residential subdivision,” Luke explained. Records Remain Sealed “When is the six months up?” asked supervisor Dick Latham. “I’m not sure,” Luke answered, noting that the court order remains sealed. He guessed that the time limit for recording the plat will expire six months from the date—January 24, 1980,—that the court ordered the subdivision approved. Latham objected to an indefinite extension, maintaining that the county already has too many platted and approved lots that haven’t been built on. Commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner noted that the supervisors could allow for a one year extension in the time limit with an automatic renewal at the end of that year unless the county or the landowners decided differently. Considering the amount, of money invested—$144,000 to purchase the property—and the high return possible if the land is subdivided, supervisor chairman (Continued on Page 2) RETIRING CASTLETON POSTMASTER Ray T. Cannon sorts mall for about the last time and relinquishes the position to, can you believe, a woman. This brings women postmasters to 100% in Rappahannock County. His retirement was effective the last day of February and his wife, Ruby, assistant for the past 30 years will be officer in charge for the present time. Cannon has held the position for 39 years. Cannon Retires From Castleton Post Office After 38 years of service to the public as postmaster of Castleton, Ray T. Cannon has retired effective Feburary 29. “When I read in the Rappahannock News that I was the only male postmaster in Rappahannock County, I decided I couldn’t be the Lone Ranger and was convinced I should quit.” In a more serious vein, Cannon explained that he had been in the office long enough, since November 1940 and would have more than Supervisors Approve Building Inspector In a split vote at last Thursday’s meeting of the board of supervisors, Rappahannock County finally bowed to state law and gave up the dubious distinction of being the only jurisdiction in Virginia without a building inspector. With H. B. Wood opposed, the supervisors voted to set up a department of building inspection and hire a building official to work two days per week at $9 per hour. The cost of the department, including the official’s salary, secretarial help, travel, training, office expenses and supplies, is expected to be offset by inspection fees. Supervisor chairman E. P. Luke noted that proposals to establish an inspection program had been voted down in the past by the board. He warned, however, that the state attorney general’s office was threatening to take action if the county failed to comply with the state requirement for an inspector. “What are they going to do if we don’t?” asked supervisor Wood. “We’ll try to have the fees pay for the program,” Luke continued, adding that it will also be necessary to appoint a local board to hear appeals on the building inspector’s actions. Contractor Gregory Monahan asked if the town of Washington is required to pass a similar ordinance. Luke replied that the town generally uses regulations adopted by the county. County engineer Fanning Baumgardner, who worked with Jack .Proctor from the state Uniform Building Code office in setting up the proposed fee schedule, noted that the county^ already has the space for a building inspector’s office in the court house complex. (Later, in response to a remark from the audience, Baumgardner emphasized that he was not a candidate for the inspector position.) Sloppy Work “More and more often in the county, contractors are doing sloppy work,” said Luke. He said that several cases- involving dangerous violations of the state building code have been (Continued on Page 7) enough to keep him busy with his approximate 500 acres of farm land and some more which he rents, and his real estate firm, too. Castleton Post office was established in May 1878 with James Wright as the first postmaster, and was located in a small building across the road from Cannon’s Store. The population of Castleton at that time was 40. “Wright was followed by several others and from 191$^ to 1940 my father, James ft Cannon, held the postmaster’s position,’’ said Cannon. “Then my mother, Nena B. Cannon, was in charge for a few months until I was named and assumed my duties in November 1940. Guess it’s a family tradition, and back then politics had a lot to do with it,” he continued. In 1953 the post office was moved into the Cannon’s home where it remains. “A number of small offices have been closed over the years, including Rock Mills, Laurel Mills, Estes and Scrabble and those areas serviced from Castleton. Now much of Castleton is served from the Boston office and eventually more of the small installations will close,’’ Cannon surmised. "Castleton is a fourth class office.” “My starting salary was between $300 and $400 per year and of course everything else was priced accordingly,” said Cannon. “When I' established my real estate business in 1951, land was selling for $6 to $10 an acre and there were only about three agencies in the county. —Rappahannock N«n Photo/S.

Luke, Clarence Baldwin and Hubert Gilkey joined forces at last Thursday’s board meeting to vote down proposed ordinances aimed at controlling illegal road hunting in the county. The two laws would have prohibited carrying a loaded rifle or shotgun in a motor vehicle on a public right-ofway or carrying a loaded rifle or shotgun while walking on a public right-of-way without permission to hunt from landowners on both sides of the road. The vote came after a public hearing held the night before, March 5, and consultations in executive session with commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner, sheriff W. A. Buntin and game warden Jim Bankston. Neither the supervisors opposed to the ordinances nor supporters Dick Latham and H. B. Wood explained their positions at either Wednesday’s public hearing or Thursday’s board meeting. At the public hearing. proponents argued that adoption of the ordinances would improve safety on public roads. Lee Bird, Washington landowner and patron of the ordinances, maintained that a passage of the new regulations would help to enforce existing laws that make it illegal to shoot from the highway. “Houses have been hit. Animals have been hit. Both dogs and cattle have been shot. It’s just a matter of time before a person is shot,” Bird said. "I think the general public has the right to feel safe from hunting on public roads.” Citing the dangers posed by hunters who shot from the road, often onto property that is posted. Bird noted that a rifle bullet has a killing distance of at least two miles, maybe more. He acknowledged that the two ordinances proposed for Rappahannock were not the ideal solution to the problem of illegal road hunting. “But it’s a good start,” Bird said. ‘‘And it is all that the General Assembly has allowed us to adopt.” Bird added that similar ordinances passed in Loudoun, Culpeper and Fauquier Counties have proved effective in reducing road hunting and maintained that pressures here will increase if Rappahannock remains the only county in this area east of the Blue (Continued on Page 3) Comm. Revenue Closed Monday The office of the Commissioner of the Revenue at Washington will be closed Monday, March 17 for moving. This office will be moved from the courthouse to the building next door which formerly housed the Clerk's office. Moving will take place over the weekend and Monday and the office will be open Tuesday to resume business regularly. The former clerk’s office has been completely renovated and painted and in addition to the office of the Commissioner of the Revenue, will house the General Registrar's office and the Zoning Administrator’s. — Rappahannock News Photo/S.

Tax Expert Suggests Use Value With New Assessment Assessment of property at 100 per cent fair market value is coming and when it does, the shock will be felt throughout Rappahannock County, according to Fred Forberg, representative from the property tax division of the State Department of Taxation. "It’s going to rock the boat to a fare-thee-well,” Forberg told the Rappahannock supervisors at last Thursday’s board meeting. “It’s going to put the tax burden where it hasn't been before.” On Thursday, Forberg repeated information he gave the supervisors at an earlier work session on reassessment and added some new data. According to Forberg, the state requires that all localities move to 100 per cent fair market value assessment by 1981. Jurisdictions that fail to appraise at least 80 per cent market value will forfeit Alcohol Beverage Control Board funds, Forberg said. Average assessments in Rappahannock will increase by about 12 times under 100 per cent appraisal, he predicted. In the first year after the reassessment, property tax yield can’t be more than 101 per cent of what it was the previous year without going through budget advertisement procedure mandated by the state, Forberg noted. He again told the supervisors that they can wait to reassess in 1981 with the new appraisals reflected on the 1982 tax bills or they can reassess this year and use the services of trained appraisers from the State Department of Taxation. State appraisers won't be available after this year and if the county waits, it will have to hire more expensive appraisers from a private firm, Forberg said. He added that his department plans to maintain a directory of competent personnel to recommend to counties. Most rural counties like Rappahannock which have made the switch to 100 per cent assessment have also adopted land use taxation at the same time, said Forberg, noting that Madison, Culpeper, Clarke, Warren, Page and Fauquier have all followed this route. “If we go to 100 per cent, don’t we almost have to go to land use if we want to keep things on an even keel?” asked supervisor H. B. Wood. Status Quo “If you want to maintain the status quo,” Forberg replied. He acknowledged that Rappahannock’s current "conservative” appraisals appear to generate sufficient revenue to fund the county’s operating budget. “If it’s working the way things are, why do we have to change?” Wood asked. He requested commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner to write for an attorney general’s opinion as to whether the state can legally withhold ABC revenue from counties that fail to comply with the requirement for 100 per cent assessment. Commissioner of Revenue Merle Scoggin, at the suggestion of the supervisors, checked recently with Madison County on the cost of administering use value assessment. “The program is more or less self-supporting for the first couple of years,” she reported, with administrative costs paid for by filing fees of $20 per parcel charged for properties in land use. * Madison’s biggest administrative expense was for soil maps needed to evaluate property applying for use value taxation, Scoggin reported, noting that Rappahannock already has soil maps. In addition, Madison purchased a desk, typewriter and adding machine and pays a parttime employee to work 10 days per month. Scoggin added that Madison adopted a very simple use value taxation ordinance and now has approximately 780 active parcels in the program. In response to a question from supervisor chairman Pete Luke, she reproted that Madison’s commissioner of revenue estimated the county “lost $189,000 tax dollars” through the land use program. “That’s got to be replaced on houses,” stated Luke. Forberg disagreed with the SI89,000 figure. (Continued on Page 2)

That way. he said, the land owners won’t be reminded of the profits they could make if they subdivide when they reapply for the extension every year. Supervisor H. B. Wood's motion to grant the indefinite extension died for lack of a second. Latham substituted a motion to grant a five year estensiorr in the time limit for plat recordation. Bonding Also Required Baumgardner repeated that all roads shown on the plat must be dedicated to the state upon plat recordation. (Resident highway engineer Don Askew explained later that the right-of-way for the subdivision streets must be dedicated to the public for road use by separate deed when the plat is recorded. “If the plat is recorded, the county will have to bond those people for completion of the roads," he added. The bond should cover the cost of the public facilities plus a little extra, according to Cannon Retires (Continued from Page 1) added. “Now land sells from as low as S800 per acre to $5000 or more, depending on the size parcel but you don’t double the price anymore." “At a recent meeting of all postmasters of the Culpeper Section Center I was the one with the longest tenure, 39 years,” said Cannon. “That /should be long enough. And guess what! I’ll be replaced by a woman, my wife, who has been the assistant for some 30 years. She will be the officer in charge for the present,” he concluded “That makes the ladies 100 per cent!” Ray Cannon is married to the former Ruby Stringfellow of Culpeper and they have three children, Ann Powell of New Hampshire, James Cannon of Castleton and Donna Cannon; a student at James Madison University, Harrisonburg.

He is a participant with his El Rancho Grande herd in the BC1A Performance testing and had the first four get-ofsires at the bull testing station. “I’m cutting down some on the farm activities,” says Cannon. “I’m not as young as I once was and dependable farm help is difficult to come by.

He estimated the cost of a mile of road at approximately $125,000. “If there’s no bond, a developer can go ahead and sell lots without building an adequate road." said Askew. If the road doesn’t meet state specifications, it can’t be taken into the state system for maintenance and thus remains the responsibility of the lot owners in the subdivision. A bond ensures that the roads will be built to specifications, whether by the developer or by the county.) "Are you for subdivisions or against them?" asked supervisor Luke. "Here’s a chance to keep this land in agriculture indefinitely...Here’s a chance for the county to encourage agricultural use on land that can be subdivided into five acre lots.” “1 still think we’re putting too much land in limbo,” countered Latham. He asked if an extension on the time limit for recording the subdivision plat placed any restrictions on the property owners. “For land use planning, I , think the county has to consider it as a residential subdivision in agricultural use,” Baumgardner replied. With an extension, the owners may still elect to j record the subdivision plat at | any time and have the option j of selling off lots, said | Baumgardner. j Attorney Peter Luke stressed that his clients weren’t millionaires, th^ i they’d expended their jj available capital to purchase | the land and that it was ! going to take time for them | to come up with the money to | begin the vineyard operation. f Noting that it takes four j years after planting before I grape vines produce fruit, H. j B.

Expert Suggests New Assessment (Continued from Page l) “Okay, let’s take $50,000,” Luke suggested. Paper Loss Only "1 don't think the loss is anything at all when you come right down to it,” Forberg maintained. "There really isn't any lost revenue at all. It's a paper loss only.” He reported that he’d done some research on Augusta County when that jurisdiction adopted land use with 100 per cent fair market value assessment and found that taxes there on land actually increased by about one-third while taxes on buildings increased about one-sixth. , Wood asked again why the state was requiring counties to assess at 100 per cent fair market value. Forberg explained that the state allotted funds to localities for education based on a formula that included land values as one of the prime factors. The state also uses land values and tax rate to determine a localities ability to pay for education in comparison with local effort to pay for schools. Rappahannock currently assesses at a percentage of market value (approximately 60 per cent) and then applies a tax rate to a percentage (15 per cent) of the assessment. “What kind of mathematical gyrations do you expect people to go through?” Forberg asked. The General Assembly, in requiring 100 per cent fair market value assessment “is trying to do things so people can understand,” he said. Land Use Qualifications Under the state’s enabling legislation, a county can adopt use value taxation for property in any or all of four categories: agricultural, horticultural, forestal or open space, Forberg explained. Under the agricultural category, parcels must be at least five acres exclusive of house site and must have been in agricultural use for five consecutive years before getting into a use value assessment program, Forberg said. In addition, the yield from the parcels must be at least one-half of the county’s average farm yield. Pasture land, he said, must have supported at least one animal unit per five acres for six months out of the previous year. For horticultural land to qualify, crops must be planted in rows, Forberg reported. For the eight soil categories recognized by the Soil Conservation Service, a state advisory committee sets a range of values for taxation based on the land’s net productive earnings, according to Forberg. If the use value of class three land is X number of dollars, then the use value of class two land will be 35 per cent more than that figure and the use value of class one land 50 per cent more, he explained. Forberg emphasized that the range set by the state advisory committee is suggested only and that the county can set its own range based on the productive capacity of land in Rappahannock. “In my opinion, land use taxation ought to be adopted concurrently with 100 per cent assessment,” Forberg stated. $1,800 Per Month Should the county opt to begin the reassessment this year using the services of an appraiser from the State -Department of Taxation, Forberg estimated cost at $1,800 per month—$1,200 for the appraiser’s salary and $600 for expenses. “It will take about a year,” he added. If the county chooses to have a local board of assessors, one from each magisterial district, work with the appraiser, then three members of the board have to be there with the appraiser at all times, including one member from the district the appraiser’s working in. “It looks to me like they all ought to go out every time,” interjected Jack Miller. Forberg agreed that the local board members should be on the spot so the professional appraiser can explain what he’s done and why. "They can outvote him,” Miller responded. “That’s when the politics come in. They should just pay the man and let him do the job and then if someone has an argument, they can appeal to the judge,” Miller proposed. Forberg acknowledged that the county can choose to eliminate the local board of assessors, have a professional assessor work alone in appraising property and then have an equalization board Order Y our Girl Scout Cookies Now Restaurant Sperryvllle, Va. OPEN DAILY BEGINNING MARCH 10 Sunday • Thursday 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. review the assessments before the figures become final. Switch To Computers Jerry Campbell, representative from a computer company, presented the supervisors with several proposals for computerizing the county’s tax records and the new records from the reassessment. Campbell told the board that processing all the land parcels and personal property onto a computer will cost $2,757.81 with half the expense reimbursed by the Compensation Board. Computerizing the tax tickets will run $465, again with half paid by the Compensation Board. Cost of printing the reassessment notices that must go out to all landowners, making any changes in the 'figures following the required public hearing, printing an update for the supervisors and then printing the final assessment book will cost $2,577, according to Campbell. He noted that his compny is currently working on reassessment for eight Virginia counties. Campbell added that he can have the notices back to the supervisors five days after his company gets all the information. Actual printing of the reassessment book takes only a half day, he said, as compared to the three months of typing time now required under the county's current system. Scoggin added that a switch to computer will eliminate the need for extra secretarial help during the reassessment. The supervisors voted unanimously to order the I cards needed for the appraiser to fill out on each parcel of land under the reassessment at a cost of $400. They delayed a decision on whether or not to use the state department of taxation appraisers and whether or not to change to a computer system for the commissioner of revenue and treasurer’s records. They set another work session for March 12 at 10 a.m. in the clerk’s office. ■“"How do you spell relief...-*" from the tax blues?

=Gun Laws Defeated By Split Vote= (Continued from Page 1) Ridge without a ban or loaded rifles and shotguns in motor vehicles. Signs Ignored Jim White from Wakefield District reported that hunters had ignored posted signs on his property and fired across the back of his house into a grove of trees where his grandchildren normally played. Not only were the hunters standing in the road when they shot, he said, they were leaning on the sign that said “posted.” White supported passage of the ordinances as a tool to help the game warden enforce existing laws against road hunting. Jean Morris, who lives on Route 612 in Old Hollow, told the supervisors that she went to school with her 13year-old daughter during hunting season rather than let the youngster walk a half mile alone to the bus stop. Mrs. Morris said she feared for her daughter’s safety because of the hunters who cruise up and down Route 612 with rifles poking out the windows of their pick-ups. She called for passage of the proposed ordinances in the interests of safety and common sense. Not only is it dangerous to transport a loaded rifle or shotgun in a motor vehicle, it is also unsafe to leave a loaded firearm unattended in a vehicle, according to Stan Thompson, landowner in Piedmont District. "There’s no telling who will have access to it,” he said, calling for adoption of the proposed ordinances. Aubrey Keyser said that game shot illegally from highways in the county is being sold to Washington, D.C. restaurants. He reported that he’d discovered this from inquiries he’d made among “responsible citizens” in Stanley, the Shenandoah Valley community where most of Rappahannock’s problem hunters are alleged to come from. “I can see cars creeping up and down my road at five or ten miles per hour,” said Keyser. He maintained that most people hurt in gun accidents are wounded or killed when removing a loaded firearm from a vehicle. Supporting passage of the two proposed laws, he Attend Freezeout Boy Scouts and leaders in troops from the four counties in Shenrapawa District of the Shenandoah Area Boy Scout Council braved the winter elements and camped out Saturday and Sunday, February 23 and 24 at Fort Valley. A total of 130 scouts and ten troops experienced surprisingly mild weather during the annual winter camporee which was directed by Eddie Thompson, Scoutmaster of Troop 4, sponsored by Front Royal Rotary Club. Saturday’s program consisted of six skill stations which tested the scouts ability to start and maintain a fire from flint and steel, in overland orienteering with compass, lashing skills with rope and twine, in log sawing, dead weight log pulling, and ice rescuing and safety. A light rainfall didn’t dampen spirits at the campfire with skits and songs Saturday night, according to Kyle Morrison, District Executive of Woodstock. All troops were awarded proficient ribbons during 'closing ceremonies Sunday. Rappahannock troops and leaders attending included Amissville Troop 50 with Scott Ziemer; Washington Troop 123 with James Bywaters, Russell Aylor with Sperryville Troop 65 and Gene Fisher and Troop 143, Boston.

These boys were cooking lunch. noted that he’d recently had a dog killed while neighbors had a colt shot. Property Rights Violated “I know a lot of people think these ordinances would restrict the right to bear arms,” said Bob Dennis, landowner on Route 637 in Wakefield District. "I look at it differently,” he said, adding that the National Rifle Association and other hunting organizations shared his view point. This past season, he said, hunters had fired from the road at a deer standing directly in front of a house on his posted property. If the hunters had missed the deer, the bullet would have hit the house or possibly one of its occupants, Dennis said. “Shooting from the road imposes on our rights to use our property safely,” he concluded, presenting Wakefield supervisor Hubert Gilkey with a stack of letters in support of the proposed ordinances. Howard Holschuh also spoke in favor of the ordinances, proposing passage for safety factors. "No sportsman would want the maiming or killing of an innocent human being on his conscience.” he said. Diana Bird maintained that opponent’s have no basis for believing that passage of the ordinances will lead to harassment by the glime warden, that they are aimed at the Flint Hill Gun Club or that the laws are a first step in gun control. Adoption of the ordinances will curtail road hunting, she said, and may result in farmers being stopped while they’re riding slowly up and down a road, checking on their cattle, with a loaded rifle or shotgun on the seat beside them. Balancing tne imagined fears of hunters” against concerns of county residents who fear for the safety of their families selves and livestock, Mrs. Bird supported passage of the proposed laws. “I’m for it,” said Jerrel Dwyer of Woodville. Adoption of the ordinances “will get a lot. of slob hunters out of the way,” he said, adding that not all of the illegal road hunters come from outside the county. Sean Kilpatrick maintained that passage of the new laws would protect sportsmen as well as the nonhunting public by helping game wardens control the slob hunters who give all hunters a bad name. Kilpatrick noted that antihunting sentiment is growing throughout the country because of a few who ignore the laws. "I’m terribly afraid that if something isn’t done to control this element. I’ll wake up one morning and find I can’t hunt,” said Kilpatrick. Accordingly, he supported adoption of the ordinances “to protect my privileges as a hunter” as well as for safety factors. “The game warden feels these ordinances are tools he can use to his advantage (in enforcing existing laws) and I STARTSTODAY BIG SAVINGS J* REDUCTIONS IN ALL DEPARTMENTS Shop Both Levels for Great Bargains LEGGETT IN % DOWNTOWN CULPEPER completely trust the game warden,” stated Ross Hales of Wakefield District. Van dab, Not Hunters Noting that he has, lived and hunted in Piedmont District for approximately 25 years, Carson Johnson maintained that he’s never seen so-called slob hunters in Old Hollow or Gid Brown Hollow where 90 per cent of the hunting in that area is done. “I don’t know what slob hunting is anyway,” Johnson continued. Referring to damage to mailboxes, fences, traffic signs, livestock and other property by shooting, Carson said this qualified as vandalism. “I don’t think it’s related to hunting at all...I’m against this county adopting these ordinances and calling them hunting laws.” Johnson said ne didn t carry loaded firearms in a motor vehicle and wouldn’t hunt with anyone who did but maintained that laws prohibiting this should come from the General Assembly as statewide law rather than enabling legislation. “Supposing each county adopted its own ordinance and they were all different,” Johnson said, arguing that this would be confusing to hunters and game warden alike. Robert Eastham, who identified himself as a nonhunter speaking for himself and unnamed neighbors in Wakefield District, opposed the ordinances on constitutional grounds. He described the proposed laws as “not only a can of worms but a bucketful of rattlesnakes” and charged game warden Jim Bankston with attempting to “rewrite the constitution” by infringing upon the right to bear arms. Eastham also critized an editorial that appeared in the February 22 Rappahannock News. The editorial stated that some supporters of the ordinances were reluctant to speak out publicly for fear of possible retaliation — r etaliation that could include burning barns or shooting livestock. Eastham insisted that there are no landowners in Rappahannock who #re so afraid of their neighbors that they won’t voice their opinions. Although opposed to the two ordinances, Eastham said he was as much against "liquored-up, doped-up bandits” who shot from the road as were supporters of the new laws. To control illegal road hunting, Eastham called for better enforcement of existing laws by the game warden, sheriff and Rappahannock’s five "well paid” deputies. Put Bull Back Nelson Atkins accused the Rappahannock News of trying to turn landowners against hunters, apparently basing his charges on editorials that appeared in the News on February 22 and 29. He added that the paper was substituting opinion for fact and suggested that it “stick to what’s happening.” Atkins recalled that years ago, the mast head of the Rappahannock News carried a picture of a bull on one side and a picture of an apple on the other. “They should put the bull back on,” Atkins suggested, sparking laughter from the audience. "The game warden says he needs a tool (to enforce existing hunting laws),” Atkins continued. “The tool he needs is the respect of the local hunters.” Atkins charged that the warden should spend more time on enforcing laws that are currently on the books instead of spending “half his time trying to get these gun laws passed and the other half helping old ladies across the street.” George Davis, Washington lawyer and former com monwealth’s attorney for the county, opposed adoption of the ordinances but disagreed with Eastham’s assertion that they are unconstitutional. “I don’t think they infringe on the right to bear arms,” he said. Davis maintained that adoption of the ordinances would encourage a false sense of security by leading people to believe rifles and shotguns were unloaded. “Most people are killed (in gun accidents) because they assumed a gun was unloaded,” he said. Davis agreed that rifle bullets carry a long distance but added that danger comes more from shooting toward a road while standing in a field than from shooting while actually on a road. Elwood Welch, Rodney Vest, Charlie Mills and E. C. Jenkins also stated opposition to the proposed ordinances. Carson Johnson defended hunters from the Shenandoah Valley area who, he said, have been unfairly characterized as slob hunters in Rappahannock. Johnson said these sportsmen pay $40 to $50 apiece to lease hunting rights on land here and then set up their own organizations with rigidly enforced rules of conduct. Referring in particular to an individual often seen driving a red convertible slowly up and down back roads, Johnson said this person, known to him personally, is not an illegal road hunter, as many suspect. Instead, the driver of the red convertible is looking for deer antlers, according to Johnson. “A lot of people riding up and down the back roads are doing it for entertainment.

Mon.-Fri. Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company. Inc Member. Audit Bureau ot Circulation THURSDAY, MARCH 13,1980 No Bull The fight is over. We lost. On Thursday, the supervisors once again voted down ordinances that would have made it illegal to carry loaded rifles and shotguns around on public roads. The laws were proposed for safety reasons, to protect citizens and their property from dangers posed by illegal road hunters. We know it’s after the fact but there were several points raised at the public hearing Wednesday night that we feel obligated to address. First, to Mr. Nelson Atkins: Obviously, Mr. Atkins, you’re not familiar with newspapers. Referring to two editorials that appeared in the Rappahannock News, you charged us with substituting our opinions for news and suggested we put the bull back on the masthead to reflect our biased stance. The dictionary defines editorial as an article in a newspaper or magazine giving the editor’s views or those of the person or persons in control of the paper. An editorial is a statement of opinion and doesn’t pretend to be straight news. We adamantly defend our right to state our opinions. In the future, Mr. Atkins, remember that pieces appearing to the left of “Our Rappahannock Heritage” photographs, the articlesJwith the slightly liuger type, wider-fhargins and usually two word headlines are editorials. They are not straight news. If you don’t want to read our opinions, please skip this section of the paper. Secondly to Mr. Robert Eastham: We were told personally by a native farmer that he was afraid—yes, afraid—to speak out publicly in support of the ordinances because he feared that his barn might be burned or his cattle shot. We were told by another family from your community, Wakefield District, that they were also afraid of retaliation should they publicly voice support for the gun ordinances. We suggest you check with your supervisor, Hubert Gilkey, and ask him if he was contacted by individuals who favored passage of the ordinances but were concerned about public identification. There has already been harassment since the meeting. As for your contention that the proposed ordinances violate the constitutional right to bear arms, do you think laws prohibiting the carrying concealed weapons also violate this cherished right? And, Mr. Eastham, if the game warden is guilty of unreasonable search and seizure should he stop a pick-up truck with rifles and shotguns poking out the windows, how do you justify checking vehicles for drugs and alcohol without a search warrant, a practice authorized by the school board of which you are a member? If constitutional guarantees can be suspended by the school board because a vehicle is parked on school property, can the sheriff’s department suspend those same rights if a car is parked in the court house parking lot? We were blasted after the public hearing by citizens who objected to the suggestion we made in a cutline appearing under a photograph of a stop sign riddled by bullet holes. We acknowledge that we can’t prove the bullet holes came from guns of disgruntled hunters but can they prove that the vandalism wasn’t the work of hunters? Also, to Mr. El wood Welch: If your threat about the loss of readers from your community was supposed to frighten us into dropping support of the gun ordinances, it didn’t. This newspaper isn’t going to be destroyed financially if 144) members of the Flint Hill Gun Club never read another word we print, as you promised. When the gun ordinances come up again—and they will—we intend to support adoption just as strongly as we have in the past. Finally, we feel that many of the speakers at Wednesday’s public hearing owe an apology to game warden Jim Bankston. Rappahannock Cpunty is lucky to have a man of his caliber. He doesn’t need the respect of the hunters—he already hasii that respect, at least from an overwhelming majority. Bankston is dedicated to enforcing the game laws of the Commonwealth, equal enforcement with the laws applying equally to everyone. That makes a few folks mad. It upsets the people who think we should have two sets of rules, one for the natives and another for outsiders. Those individuals probably won’t ever respect Jim Bankston but you can tell as much about a man from his enemies as you can by judging his friends. Bankston does more with his time than push for passage of laws and help little old ladies across the street. He supported the proposed ordinances, that’s true but he didn’t propose them—not this year or last. As for helping old ladies, we’re sure that he would offer his assistance to anyone who needed it. He’s that kind of person. We’re not so sure that the little old ladies of Flint Hill can look to Bankston’s detractors for help. — Rappahannock Newt Photo/Sarah Litham Our Rappahannock Heritage We Fear For Their Safety To the editor: We live on a dirt road surrounded by hundreds of acres of woodland. The road is thoroughly posted on both sides. During hunting season a road that is normally traveled by half a dozen vehicles a day, becomes a freeway of pick-up trucks, cruising, tossing beer cans and peppering “NO HUNTING” signs with bullets, driving away any deer within miles. As the parents of two boys who must walk down the dirt road to their bus stop, we fear for their safety. The boys are scared coming and going and resent being restricted to the shadow of our home, unfortunately necessary as long as people feel it is their right to send lethal projectiles across our property. It’s like living in a war zone.! Our nightmare is that some day, some half-drunk fool sees a motion in the bushes just off the road, shoots at the movement and kills our child playing hide and seek on his own land. People, who are honest hunters^ should have no fear of regulations preventing behavior that is poor hunting practice. There is no need to cruise to find deer. There are plenty of landowners, if asked, who will allow hunters to roam through their woods if they show they are responsible citizens. Although, we can appreciate Mr. Luke’s concern for individual liberty, it seems to us that the transgression against landowners and dwellers by the road is of far greater concern. We hope we can all work together to solve this problem before a tragedy occurs. MR. AND MRS. STEPHEN L. HOSTETTER Delegate’s Report By GEORGE BEARD The sands of time are slowly sifting down to close another 60-day Session of the General Assembly. If the sands had moved as fast as the sands that came off the street and flew in our windows during the recent winds, we would have been home long ago. We plug up the windows with drapes and then force several stacks of regulations against them to stop the wind and sand. They make ideal crack stuffers cause they just don’t bend. (Pun intended.) We passed a Senate resolution today calling for a referendum by the voters at the next election to limit local governments from getting too far in debt. The old limit was 18 percent of the real estate assessment. The resolution reduced it to 10 percent, primarily because all counties now assess at 100 percent of market value. None of our counties is anywhere near that figure and I doubt if they ever will be. Anyway it will be up to the voters at the next election. Three important bills were held until the last minute by committees. Two were killed in committee and one passed. Those killed were one that strengthened the rape law and the other that allowed a jury that finds a criminal guilty to receive the past records before sentencing. Both of these have been before the House Courts of Justice Committee for several years and each time they get killed. They make it through the Senate each time, only to die in this House Committee. The third important bill was a tax indexing bill which would have saved the taxpayers hundreds of dollars, especially in the lower income brackets. The higher the income the less tax relief. It came before the House Finance Committee and was passed IS to S with my support. I am afraid it was amended out of shape because the original bill was geared to inflation. The more inflation the less taxes for those in the lower bracket., The amendment removed this feature by tying it to the Fed’s income exemptions. I just don’t know how it will fare in the House. It would have cost the State $89 million in 1981-82 and twice that in 1982-83. The bill to eliminate sales tax on nonprescription drugs was carried over until 1981 by the Senate. However, the oneon heating oil, etc., passed and is on the way to the Governor. A bill to give the elderly a real estate break by raising the income provision to $15,000 and the assets to $55,000 also passed and is on the way to the Governor. This is strictly a local option bill so it is up to the locality to pass an ordinance before it can be enacted. The retirement bill for State employees is now in the Senate. I supported this one because it did not affect those in it now, but those coming in on March 31, 1980, will be under a new plan. Plus it decreases and took out the expense account of members of the General Assembly. This provision was put ip several years ago and shouldn’t have been there in the first place. It has been an interesting Session with more work and time spent than I can remember. Two projects the good folks back home charged me with were almost accomplished. One was to restore the four positions at Germanna. I asked for four from the House and got two. Then I tried the Senate with the help of Senators Michael and Miller and got one, making a total of three. There just weren’t enough places to go to get the remaining one. The other was to extend Dr. LeGarde’s term. After talking to the Governor I had to go to two different departments and working my way up finally found and got the right answers. Once you know where to start you just keep on digging until you come up out of the right hole. Now I know how a groundhog works. 1 was also asked to put in five bills. Two were killed, one carried over and two passed. I answered all of the mail which was pretty steady, and if I missed any please let me know. I returned all phone calls and furnished answers as quickly as I could get them. Did the best 1 knew how to keep things on a steady course for all four counties as well as trying to keep everyone informed. 1 sincerely appreciate this fine newspaper for all their help and will be home on Monday to stay and will visit all the counties until January 1981. See you then and thanks for your confidence. Active Support Sought Dear Parents and Friends of Rappahannock, We, the teachers of the Rappahannock County, are distressed about the budget recently submitted to the Rappahannock School Board. First of all, there is no mention of capital outlay expansion to deal with the pressing problem of overcrowding at the High School) and Elementary School. Another modular unit has been proposed for the Elementary School to house the Piedmont LD program. Modular units have proven to be not only costly, but temporary solutions due to their short life span. Second, the basic budget proposal for instructional supplies is inadequate to meet present requirements. Because of this inadequacy, individual student material fees will need to be increased to meet instructional needs. A serious problem has been the teacher turnover rate. The two major reasons for this problem have been the low salary scale and low teacher morale. Of 135 school systems in Virginia, 82 pay their starting teachers more than Rappahannock, and 123 pay their most experienced teachers more than Rappahannock County. The table included with this letter provides the actual figures for the current salary of teachers in Rappahannock. The number of teachers at each level of the pay scale is also included. Proposed salary figures for budget Plan A and Plan B are given. Plan C is a scale being suggested by the teachers. Dr. Bloomer has submitted Plan A in his basic budget and Plan B in his recommended budget. The teachers have submitted an alternative Plan C in order to encourage good teachers to stay in Rappahannock. Plan C could influence experienced teachers (who are considering leaving,) to stay and would show good faith on the part of the School Board. Experienced teachers are more effective in the classroom! At the present time, 44 percent of our teachers have three years or less experience. Something must be done or this percentage level will iincrease! The educational level of your child will suffer! Funding of the proposed budget request would not require a tax increase for county residents because the accumulated surplus in the county budget has been running in excess of $300,000 for the past three years, and is estimated to be in excess of $200,000 at the end of this year. We seek your active support of our requests . Contact your School Board member and Supervisor. Please attend the public response meeting on Thursday, March 13, at 7:30 in the Elementary School. Let your opinion be heard. Your children are depending on you.

Mrs. Charlotte Freeman came to the Rappahannock Mental Health Clinic October 1979 as a CETA participant. She had been approved for a fulltime clerical position. Prior to this, she had volunteered her time to the Clinic. As a CETA participant, Charlotte rapidly learned the full range of clerical responsibilities in the clinic and proved herself to be a capable employee. In fact, she carried fall responsibility for the clerical functions for a month when the clinic was without an office manager. Another advance awaits Charlotte; she will be leaving us this month. She has accepted a permanent full-time job outside the CETA program. We are proud of Charlotte’s rapid progress, both as a CETA participant and as our “employee.” We think her story is a good example of how CETA can , work. Congratulations to Charlotte and CETA for a job well done. JENNINGS W. HOBSON III Chairman Advisory Board Rappahannock Mental Health Clinic What’s the best blood type? A regular donor.

June—Mrs. Massie’s and Mr. Stokes’. A referendum is possible before then if the voters want to dissolve the Trustee Electoral Board. The County Board of Supervisors could elect new School Board members if a majority of voters passes a referendum. The supervisors are publicly elected; people know them and they are all going to come up for reelection before long. The supervisors are the way to go for better education. MARY BETH MARTIN Nuclear Power To the editor: May I suggest that before joining Jane Fonda and Dr. Day in anti-nuclear activities, we note what the NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCE has to say regarding nuclear power, by considering the following quotation from Chemical & Engineering News of Feb. 25, 1980. The National Academy of Sciences, after an exhaustive four-year study, has concluded that coal and nuclear power are our nation's only choices to meet elctrical demands of the next 30 years. Furthermore, the academy stated that nucler may be the only choice after 1990 because (1) coal rfill be far more valuable as a source of gas and liquid fuel, and (2) coal may put so much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere that it could trigger a catastrophic change in the climate. The academy also said that the use of breeder reactors would keep the price of electricity low while extending the domestic supply of uranium for thousands of years. They were cautiously optimistic that nuclear fusion could contribute to our energy needs, but not until after 2010. 4 This study by the academy (hardly a pro-nuclear organization) is based on available facts. Commercial nuclear power plants consume no irreplaceable fossil fuels, release no toxic heavy metals or sulfur or carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, release less radioactivity into the atmosphere, than a comparable-sized coalburning plant (Science, 202, 1045, Dec. 8, 1978), and have an unmatched safety record of zero nuclear-related fatalities. Yet, Jane Fonda and a few of your misguided readers seek to implant an irrational hysterical fear of nuclear power in the public mind. A. S. McLean, director of the British National Radiological Protection Board, addressed this issue in a speech on risk assessment. And may I beg the reader to remember that the Academy’s report is not the opinion of an actress (who lives in super luxury by virtue of the American system while being reported as praying for a communist victory), nor of one assistant professor; but of a universally respected scientific body. Also please realize that the Academy is not under the influence of industry (which is pictured as an evil in our country) nor under the government, which in spite of the billions its spends in welfare, is accused of not caring for the people. Furthermore, it would be wise to recall that documentaries are frequently more gossip than Gospel; this one is evidently more directed to spreading fear than established facts, while the Academy’s opinioq is that of FREE scientific minds.

Brady were Mr. and Mrs. Clarence McCulloch of Fairfax. Inspection Fees Adopted (Continued from Page 1) brought to his attention. “Persons buying a house expect first class quality work,” he said. With an average of three building permits issued per week, it’s becoming important that Rappahannock have an inspection program, according to the supervisor chairman. Luke noted that individuals may encounter problems collecting damage claims relating to homes from an insurance company if the dwelling hasn’t been inspected. He added that the county may also require that contractors doing business here must be certified, passing either a state licensing exam or one drawn up by the county. Inspection fees, based on typical statewide figures, include: —one and one-half cents per square foot for residential buildings, —two cents per square foot for commercial buildings, —$15 plus $1.50 for each $1,000 or fraction thereof above $5,000 contract cost for alterations and remodelings, —$7.50 for each electrical, plumbing or mechanical installation or addition and 35 cents for each electrical outlet with an additional $7.50 for a call back visit by the inspector, —$15 for a minimum of two inspections in placement of a mobile home with an additional $7.50 for each call back, —$15 for a demolition permit, —$30 for a power driven elevator, —three-quarters of a cent for each square foot in construction of a swimming pool. Baumgardner estimated the typical permit fee for a 1,000 square foot single story dwelling witha full basement at $97.50.

The vehicle was owned by Henry Atkins Ford in Culpeper, and leased by Susan Baldwin Jenkins of Washington, said the officer. Pullen, travelling toward Flint Hill, topped a hill, went off the right shoulder of the road for 155 feet, struck a culvert and became airborne then struck a locust tree about six feet up the trunk, Thomas said. Pullen was taken to Warren Memorial Hospital by Washington Rescue Sqbad with cuts and lacerations. Washington Fire Company also responded to the fire. Charges are pending said Trooper Thomas.

Bv NANCY SECRIST \ 1*1 E\tt*n*ion Kfzrni Ground Beef You may be interested in the article in the February edition of Agricultural Research from USDA which states that consumers may be wasting their money buying extra-lean ground beef rather than regular ground beef. “Consumers may pay over 40 cents per pound more for extra-lean ground beef. But there is practially no difference in cooked hamburgers whether made from extra-lean or regular ground beef, except that hamburgers made from regular beef are juicier and a bit tastier," says SEA food technologist H. Russell Cross. He went on to say that there is only a minute difference in the fat levels of cooked hamburgers whether made from extra-lean or regular ground beef. Dr. H. Russell Cross’ address is Room 200, Building 201, BARC-East, Beltsville, Md. 20705. Helpful Hints Beware of the extra gravel • on many roads left over fvm recent snows. Stopping quickly on these areas may;, result in sliding into another car or across an intersection. Spring cleaning? To freshen the house add several cinnamon sticks and a teaspoon or two of whole cloves to a pot of boiling water. It gives the whole house a lovely fragrance. Hiccups? Drink an 8 ounce glass of water while holding your nose and ears closed without taking a breath. This requires an extra person to help you. Ground beef prepared as hamburgers does not go as far as it does in a casserole. This recipe from Southern Living has become a favorite in our household. Sour Cream-Noodle Bake 1 (8-ounce) pckge medium egg noodles 1 cup cottage cheese 1. (8-ounce) carton commercial sour cream '/»cup minced onion 1 pound ground beef 1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce 1 teaspoon salt ‘/j teaspoon garlic salt 3/« cup cubed Cheddar cheese (optional) Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain noodles; fold in cottage cheese, sour cream and onion. Set aside. While noodles are cooking, cook meat until no longer pink; drain. Add tomato sauce and seasonings, simmer 10 minutes. Spoon half of noodle mixture into a lightly greased 2-quart, casserole; top with half the meat mixture. Repeat layers, and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove from oven. If desired, sprinkle with cheese, and bake an additional 5 minutes or until cheese melts. Yield: about 8 servings. Gun Laws Defeated (Continued from Page 3) They're not looking to shoot a deer,” Johnson continued. He recalled that in the past, many individuals ran hot rods on the main highways in drag races. "Now they’re getting their kicks by seeing how slow they can drive around the hollows,” Johnson maintained. He concluded that the county’s problem with road hunting isn’t “as bad as it seems from some articles in the paper.” Johnson also warned that the ordinances, if passed, will prohibit carrying a bow and arrow on public right-of-way or in a motor vehicle since Some deep-sea creatures can live under great pressure because the pressure inside their bodies equals that outside. piarrwttox Point-to-Point Races Saturday, March 15,1980 Post Time 1:30 P.M.

In response to fears from opponents of the ordinances that they might be pulled over by the game warden if he sees a rifle or shotgun in a gun rack, Lee Bird suggested that legitimate hunters could case their guns. By doing so. Bird said, they would remove any suspicion that they might be planning to hunt illegally from the road. His proposal met with laughter. “You’re after my. gun. That’s going to be your next step,’’ said someone from the audience just before the public hearing was closed. Executive Session At the supervisor meeting on Thursday, the board retired to executive session with the game warden, sheriff and commonwealth’s attorney. Following the closed session, chairman E. P. Luke announced that, if the new laws were adopted, it would be the duty of the sheriffs department to enforce the ordinance pertaining to carrying a loaded rifle or shotgun on a public right-ofway.

With no further discussion or comment, Luke callec^ for the question. Two motions from Latham for approval of the ordinances, both seconded by H. B. Wood, were defeated with Luke, Baldwin and Gilkey opposed to adoption. Later, Luke acknowledged that, according to the commonwealth's attorney, the two proposed ordinances were neither unconstitutional nor unreasonable search and seizure. The supervisors chairman said he’d voted against the new laws because the majority of his constituents in Piedmont District were opposed to enactment. This majority sentiment was reportedly expressed at a special meeting held in the Sperryville fire hall on Tuesday, March 4. According to Luke, the notice of the meeting had been posted in stores around the community. Wakefield Sk Wakefield School concluded its six-week ski program with downhill slalom races and a banquet for students, parents and instructors March 3 at Bryce Resort.

Homes^Farms and Country Real Estate SAM D NEAD EALTY Washington, Va. 22747 Phone 987-8709 Helen Snead-Associate - Inspection Fees - (Continued from Page 7) building inspection "just because some lousy contractors are doing sloppy work.” He suggested that contractors—“the ones who are causing the problems” —pay to become certified. With this additional revenue, he said, building inspection fees could be lowered. Again objecting to the state requirement for providing a building inspector, Wood asked "what are they going to do to us if j we don’t do it?” “Take us to court in Richmond,” Luke answered. Fault Of No Inspection “The condition of the Amissville Volunteer Fire Department is a good illustration of why you should have this,” stated Hugh Exton. "We’re without volunteer fire service in Amissville because, in my opinion, someone didn’t inspect that building.” Konick insisted that building inspection is a “big racket” that makes it impossible for someone to build their own home. When the inspector learns that a house is not being constructed by a professional contractor, the inspector takes the position that “we're going to have to go through this house with a fine tooth comb,” Konick maintained.

Konick, meeting with agreement from supervisor Wood, replied that it wasn’t government’s duty to protect an individual from himself. "Whether or not to establish a department of building inspection is not in the range of discussion,*’ Monahan interjected. Referring to Konick’s suggestion on instituting fees for contractors, Everet Estes said “when he builds his own house, he is the contractor.*’ Luke noted that licensing of contractors wasn’t included in the proposed or dinance before the board for action on Thursday. "We can discuss certification at another time if you want to,” he told the audience. The motion to adopt an ordinance setting up a department of building inspection and including the proposed fee schedule passed four-to-one with Wood opposed. Luke said later that the opening for a building inspector will be advertised in the next few weeks. He noted that administrative procedures, including who will issue building permits will also have to be worked out. SCENIC RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY WASHINGTON: HISTORIC large home on lot surveyed by G.
