* ... '■■'?'■■& ««*v. i#«S^ ^ A «?“ CENTURY OF SERVICE—Raymond M. Johnson of Wood^ (oente^ASc'oommittee member for 25 years, received a certificate of service last Wednesday from Louis Moore, Jr. and James Massie (right), chairman and vice-chairman of the Rappahannock’s Agricultural Stabilization Committee. Board Approves 12% Raise For Teachers ' -iS• X* ■ -? he / ■ • ^ > ;kf * By DAPHNE HVJTCHINSON Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer At Monday’s special meeting, the Rappahannock school board members took an axe to the proposed budget for 1980-81 recommended by superintendent William Bloomer. Adopting Robert Eastham’s ”12 “cent solution’'. they cut proposed salary increases for teachers to 12 per cent but approved their first fringe benefit in payment of the mandatory life insurance premiums for the school’s professional employees. Principals, administrators and non-professional employees of the schools will receive salary increases of nine per cent in the proposed budget. Of the new positions requested, only two were approved— learning disabilities teacher and- art teacher, both for the elementary school. Cut were special services coordinator, maintenance supervisors, elementary art teacher and aides for special education and the librarian-guidance counselor at the high school and for kindergarten and lunch room monitor at the elementary school. , " Although the board^ap* proved an LD position at the elementary school to handle the youngsters currently being served at Piedmont regional school, they balked at providng the teacher with a room in which to hold the required self-contained LD class. Sperryville attorney James W. Fletcher, the school board’s official tie-breaker, will decide if the modular unit intended to house two LD classess wil be purchased. Walter Masterson’s abstention ended the vote on Monday night in a draw with Appointments Still Illegal A clarification issued March 13 on an earlier opinion from Attorney General Marshall Coleman reaffirms that appointments last June of Robert Eastham and Charles Eldred to the Rappahannock school board are invalid under Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act (FOI). The clarification came upon written request of Commonwealth’s Attorney Douglas Baumgardner, acting on behalf of the electoral trustees. The appointments of both men were announced by C. E. Johnson, chairman of the electoral trustees, at a special meeting held June 25, 1979. According to Johnson’s statement at the time, the names were voted on by the chairman and members Granville Eastham and Christine Johnston in an earlier executive session.^ Records show no recorded vote to enter executive session. Neither was there a vote taken in public during the June 25 meeting. The clarification signed by assistant attorney General Pamela Sargent states that law provides that "prior to entering executive setsioitv the members must affirmatively vote to do so. In addition, the motion must state the specific subsection of the Virginia Freedom of ^Information Act which < permits the closed meeting and must further ktate the purpose for which the closed session is being held.” . Sargent notes that FOI “requires a public vote, when back in public session, on the matter voted on in closed session. To answer your specific question, mere informal nods of the head to indicate acquiescence in the chairman’s announcement do not conform to the Act’s requirements. A formal recorded vote is manadatory," she wrote Baumgardner. Official actions of improperly appointed school board members are invalid once notification is received of the defective appointment Sargent cites several sections of the code as to what constitutes notice. The first states that “Notice, generally, is any knowledge, however acquired, which is sufficient to put a party on inquiry.*’ She also cites case law and a prior opinion of the Attorney General’s office that held legal action through a quo warranto proceeding is the only way to remove an improperly appointed officer. Sargent notes that any interested party can file a petition for quo wananto sod mandamus as the first step towards removing an individual appointed improperly. Law “specifically permits your office to file,” she wrote in the letter to Baumgardner Indicating But the Commonwealth Attorney can initiate action to rectify the FOI violation. Charles Eldred and Beverly Massie voting for purchase. Services of the school psychologist were slashed from the current 120 hours spent in testing at the elementary school to 60 some by reducing the salary appropriation to current budget and S9.500 less than superintendent William Bloomer recommended. The action came in a split decision with Charles Eldred and chairman Beverly Massie opposed. . The cut was made despite assistant superintendent Rob McDaniel’s reminder that the elementary school has just been found in noncompliance with state Standards of Quality regulations on testing for special education.. In its visit last month, the state’s administrative review team cited Rappahannock elementary for failure to meet the 45 day time limit for psychological testing after a child is referred for special education classes. Policy Set Although Monday’s meeting was set up as a budget work session and no public comment was allowed, the board spent literally hours before it adjourned at 3 a.m. in setting new policy for the schools. Despite objectidns from former board member Paul Nichols last year, the school board failed, to allow for. anticipated increases in gat * (Continued on Page 2) Meetings Set For Comprehensive Plan By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock Planning Commissioners gave a final once-over lightly to the county’s first comprehensive plan at their meeting last Wednesday in preparation for sending the draft document to meetings throughout the community scheduled for the second week in April. Sessions are set for April 7 in the Chester Gap fire hall, April 8 in the court house in Washington, April 9 in the Flint Hill fire hall, April 10 in the Sperryville fire hall and April 11 at Woodville in the Mount Lebanon Baptist Church. All meetings will begin at 7:30 p.m. Planner Newbill Miller reported that there is no meeting place available in Amissville as a result of the fire which destroyed that community’s fire hall. He emphasized that residents of the Amissville area can attend any of the other county meetings, particularly the sessions in Flint Hill and Washington. Community meetings are intended as a means of generating public response to the comprehensive plan, developed * by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission staff under the direction of the county planning com(Continued on Page 4) 4 MODELS WHO PARTICIPATED IN LAST SUNDAY'S FASHION SHOW indnded, te bout.

SI.25 Million Total RCHS Plan Meets Minimum Standards By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer E. P. Luke, chairman of the joint school boardsupervisor capital outlay l committee, presented a $1.25 million proposal for expansion at the high school to his committee members at a meeting on Tuesday afternoon. The proposal calls for 14,188 square feet of new space at approximately $50 per square foot in construction costs. Additional classrooms include three science rooms with laboratory facilities, two business rooms, art room and music room. Cost is estimated at $372,600 for the five classrooms. Support facilities covered in the plan include additions to library and cafeteria, two restrooms for regular students and two for handicapped, a clinic, teacher workroom, guidance counselor office and locker room for a cost of $295,400. The proposal allocates $361,950 for energy conservation projects designed to cut fuel consumption and $106,350 for equipment. Also included are estimates on three different approaches to solving the high school’s sewage disposal problems —subsurface sand filter with distributing tile lines, sand filter with rotaty distributor or sand filter with intermediate flooding. In presenting the package, Luke emphasized repeatedly that the expansion proposal is designed to meet the minimum required by the state Standards of Quality (SOQ) and accreditation standards. These standards can be met, he noted, only if the four modular units at the high school continue to be used—even with the capital outlay project approved in its entirety. Luke reported that he and committee staff members William Bloomer, superintendent of schools, and Fanning Baumgardner, county engineer, had met with state department of education specialists in Richmond on curriculum and construction. In working with state education officials on developing the expansion program, Luke said, he stressed that the county wanted to meet the Standards of Quality “but we didn’t want any gold plating.” He acknowledged that the expansion package meets only the minimum requirements under existing Standards of Quality. Asked what would result if the expansion program isn’t implemented, Luke answered that the high school could lose both accreditation and state funding. In arriving at the building program, Luke said, he, the committee staff and state department of education personnel used population projection data from the Rappahannock-Rapid an Planning District Commission and the State Department of Planning and Budget. Graphs that are part of Luke’s presentation project enrollment growth of only 9.25 per cent between 1978 and 2000. Luke noted that this figure translates to two students per year. He explained that variables on growth rate, the state of the economy and energy supplies make it difficult to come up (Continued on Page 3) VFDs, Rescue Units Face Money Crisis Based on revenue reports given at last Friday’s meeting of the Rappahannock Fire and Rescue Association, several of the county’s volunteer fire and rescue departments are in danger of bankruptcy. Funds on hand as of March 21 totaled less than $20 for Washington, $412 for Castleton and $350 for Chester Gap. Reportedly, Chester Gap has had issufficient funds- to paying heating bills for tkr)uut several months so die heat has been turned off in the fire hall, leaving the fire trucks without water in their tanks since the water would freeze. Flint Hill has $3,800 on hand but the fire and rescue squad there must pay monthly gas bills of $200. Sperryville's rescue squad reported $3,000 in funds while the community’s fire department has $1,000. Representatives from Amtssvillc mid its fire and jUtue squad has bbtwemT V 10,000 and $12,000. Insurance coverage will take $2,500, however, and the squad must provide a roundthe-clock guard for the building to get even that coverage as a result of the fire that destroyed the fire house last month. In an effort to head off a crisis, the fire and rescue association’s executive committee met last week and arrived at a list of proposals aimed at resolving problems in membership and funding. The committee suggested a special tax to raise revenue for emergency services, a unified insurance policy to cover all companies, installation of q central communication system to replace the current fragmented dispatch service through various police departments and individuals, paid personnel for key positions, appointment of a county fire marshall and mutual agreements between the county’s different fire and rescue companies. E P. Luke, chairman of the board of supervisors, attended last Friday’s association meeting and requested that the fire and rescue executive committee meet with the board of supervisors to explain the scrionmeii of the problems - fwtde I mu tiiiiLi VuliiiL providers. Luke also stressed the need to notify the general public of fire and rescue needs, particularly financial. “Everyone expects the companies to respond to an emergency call whether they contributed to the fund drive or not,’’ he said, noting that the county allocates no tax money for fire and rescue (Continued on Page 2) Hello Dolly In Production Rehearsals for the spring production of “Hello Dolly" are in progress nightly at' Rappahannock County High School.

Charlottesville, announced Superintendent Robert R. Jacobsen. The two men, Gifton Ellis and Louis Turner, were charged and found guilty of illegal trapping along Pass Run in Shenandoah National Park. Appearing on March 5, 1980, before Glen Conrad, U. S. Magistrate, the two men were fined $300 each and sentenced to six months in prison with all but five days of the prison sentence suspended. "I would again like to remind all Park visitors that trapping and hunting wildlife are prohibited in Shenandoah National Park,” said Jacobsen. -j i v

Board Okays 12% For Teachers (Continued from Page 1) costs in the 1979-80 budget. After wrestling with deficits in fuel allocations this year, they took precautions to avoid the same situation happening again. The board voted on Monday to increase the amount for leaded gasoline from $85,500 in the recommended budget to $95,000, figuring on a $2 cost per gallon. At the same time, they voted to limit usage to 45,000, a reduction of 10 per cent. They included a proviso that unexpended fuel funds will be turned over to the supervisors at the end of the year. Moving over from budget to policy. Masterson proposed that no vehicle in the transportation fleet leave school property without a trip ticket being filled out, including information on date, destination, mileage and any defects noticed in the vehicle. Besides the 20 buses, the school transportation fleet includes cars assigned to the superintendent, assistant superintendent and high school principal, a station wagon for the elementary school to use in transporting special education students, three cars for the bus drivers to use to get home in between bus runs, a p»ok-uo truck, van used for food services and assigned otherwise to transportation supervisor Allie Huff, a stake body IP truck for snow removal and hauling large articles and a leased driver education car. Eastham took Masterson's proposal one step further, suggesting that all vehicles except the superintendent’s car be put into a motor pool. Vehicles could be taken from the pool to use for school business filling out a ticket each time, Eastham said, but must be returned at the end of the day. “That runs counter to what I was told when I was employed.” assistant superintendent Robert McDaniel interjected. He said he’d been told that he would have a car assigned to him for use on school business only but that he would be authorized to drive the vehicle to and from work, quartering it at his home, as long as he was living in Rappahannock. This same agreement. Dr. Bloomer noted, was made with both principals. He added that elementary principal Graham Spencer no longer used a school owned car for transportation to and from work since he now lives in Warren County. McDaniel added that the agreement on car use had been the one of the primary factors in his decision to purchase an “over-priced" home in Rappahannock County. “Do you have a contract Rappatjannncb £fetua Rappahannock & Adjoining Counties per year $6.00 Elsewhere in the U S per year $7.50 Outside the U S per year $6.00 plus postage SUBSCRIPTION RATES BY MAIL ALL PAYABLE IN ADVANCE ( )New ( Renewal ( )Check Enclosed NAME _ .

Designated Pamper After receiving confirmation that the car offer had been made during employment negotiations, Eastham offered another proposal for a “designated gas pumper.” In order for conservation measures to be effective, he maintained, gas must be added to both buses and cars by someone other than the driver of the vehicle. "That gas must be controlled at the pump.” he insisted. Eastham’s motion to have the superintendent name a gas dispenser passed four to one with Masterson opposed. The board also voted to allow $2 per gallon for unleaded gas. Bloomer noted that his estimate of 4,000 gallons was a reduction over current usage of 6,000 gallons allowed in this year’s budget. Questioned about the need for 20 gallons of unleaded gas per day, described by Masterson as “excessive,” Bloomer said that the driver ed car often used an entire tank in one day while this line item also covered gas used by administrators for recruiting trips and to attend conferences. In one ot the tew areas ot the budget besides fuel where the board increased the proposed budget over the basic as opposed to the recommended amount, the board upped the allocation for an audit of the school finances from $950 to $2,000. Eastham maintained that the amount is required in Order to conduct a “full audit” of financial records. In the line item for school board attorney fees, the board increased the proposed allocation to $5,00(>—$1,000 over the amount in the basic budget. “Is that enough?” asked Eastham. Mrs. Massie explained that the board intends to use the services of the Commonwealth’s Attorney on routine legal matters, saving Harrisonburg lawyer Phillip Stone for more complicated legal issues. Phone Bills “I’d like to see a ten per cent reduction over the current year (in telephone bills from the school board office)," said Masterson, noting that over $500 was spent last month. The board unanimously endorsed an $800 cut in the amount for telephone and postage recommended by Bloomer. Initially, the board’s consensus was to approve $33,282 for instructional supplies, cutting $5,000 from Bloomer’s recommended allocation. The superintendent explained that the $5,000 was included so that “questionable fees” currently being charged students can be dropped. “Do you want me to eliminate those questionable fees (despite the cut)?” Bloomer asked. “That’s your problem,” Masterson replied. Noting that the recommended amount for instructional supplies showed an increase of $1,900 over the budgeted amount for this year. Bloomer said the hike refelected changes in school board philosophy. In the past, he said, funds have been transferred to this category as needed from money unspent in teachers’ salaries. Since the board no longer wants this approach followed.

Switching its initial position, the board vo^ed unanimously to approve the recommended amount for instructional supplies. Court Order First Charles Eld red proposed that the board purchase only one replacement bus for 1980-81 and use the balance in the basic category to buy a specially equipped vehicle for special education transportation, mandated by law. Masterson countered that there weren’t enough handicapped students to justify the expense and maintained that the board should wait to purchase a special vehicle until ordered to do so by the court. Despite the opposition, Eldred moved that the bus and handicapped vehicle be purchased with the allocated $41,000 included in the basic budget. When there was no second, Mrs. Massie yielded the chair to vice-chairman Walter Masterson and seconded the motion herself. The motion was defeated with Eastham, Masterson and Allen Stokes opposed. A second motion to allocate only $20,500 for replacement of one bus passed with Eldred opposed and Massie abstaining from the vote. The board also voted to eliminate a proposed breakfast program pushed and paid for by the federal government. Under maintenance costs, they agreed to include $32,650 for buildings and grounds, including $16,926 for repairs to the elementary school roof. Eastham maintained that it's “insane” to spend between $16,000 and $20,000 every year for roof repairs, the cost over the past several years for replacing the elementary school roof a section at a time. The board agreed to investigate a “permanent solution” to the problem of the school’s leaky roof. Moving to the section on capital outlay, the boaid voted unanimous approval for the recommended allocation of $16,565 for furniture and equipment, including $800 for underground gas tanks at the school bus garage, an item that has appeared in the budget for the last four years. Also covered in the amount is $4,465 for musical instruments and S2.195 for gifted and talented programs. Before the tie vote on purchasing the modular unit for the elementary school, the board eliminated $6,000 for site preparation of the new bus shop garage where the $8,000 gas storage tanks are intended to be installed. Also cut from other capital outlay was 51,400 for a higher chainlink fence in front of the high school bleachers requested for safety reasons to protect spectators from injury by flying baseballs. In support of the modular unit, McDaniel noted that it would relieve over-crowding in other elementary classes. The LD resource teacher is projected to use half the trailer, moving from her current quarters in the old clinic where she has room to handle only four students at a time. This will allow the psychologist to use the clinic for testing and the child development specialist to move her pre-schoolers from their current spot in the front hall to the psychologist’s room (formerly the library’s audio-visual room), McDaniel explained. "I see no way of implementing the (LD) program within the guidelines set by the state without the modular unit,” added Bloomer. Order First “I want to see a law—I mean an order—before I vote for this,” Eastham maintained. He added that basic education is “going down the drain because of all this nonsense,” referring to state mandates for special education programs. Earlier, he railed against having to staff additional special education positions, describing teachers for the mentally retarded as “baby sitters” and suggesting that room dividers be erected to better utilize classroom space now taken up by smaller special education classes. He also proposed repeatedly that youngsters in trainable mentally retarded classes be combined with students classified as educable mentally retarded. Eastham suggested this approach over and over again despite McDaniel’s attempts to explain that this would violate both state criteria on maximum class size and regulations prohibiting placing five-year-olds in the same class with 13-year-old special education students. As with other speakers including the chairman,and his fellow board members throughout the seven-and-ahalf hour meeting, Eastham continually interrupted McDaniel in his attempts to explain regulations on state mandates and guidelines on special education programs. Finally, after the school board finished with its lineitem by line-item approval of the proposed 1980-81 budget, Eastham proposed that Bloomer forward a “preambulatory (sic)” statement to the supervisors, noting that the school board realized revenue projections from state and federal sources aren’t firm commitments. Earlier in the meeting, Eastham predicted that the VFDs Faces Bankruptcy (Continued from Page 1) services except to fund the annual fire school. By comparison, the board of supervisors in neighboring Fauquier County pays for all vehicle and personnel insurance, the base station tower for radio communications, all emergency services equipment and telephone bills. Luke pointed out that the same handful of people here are involved year after year in providing Are and rescue services. The majority of county residents, he said, have become complacent, expecting fire and rescue volunteers to drop everything to rush to help them, sometimes at great personal risk. None of the companies have shirked from responsibility but the general response to their annual requests for financial support has been poor, Luke added. He noted that Rap pahannock has a greater than normal need for fire protection. Of the county’s 2,600 housing units, approximately 60 per cent were constructed before 1939. The statewide average of houses built before ’39 is 31 per cent. This gives the county a majority of older frame homes that present a greater fire hazard, Luke noted. In addition, high fuel prices and •easily accessible wood supplies have encouraged local people to switch to wood stoves, increasing even further the dangef from fire. If a person likes to work, And has learned the simple joy of doing something well, if he feels pleased at producing something of value to society, he will be generating pleasant emotions, for himself all the time he is working, as well as for the chap who hires him. r k rw PUBLIC NOTICE RED OAK MOUNTAIN Rappahannock County Meadow around Are tower is permanently dosed to vehicles because of damage to turf.

He noted that teacher^ here could at least be assured of receiving pay checks on schedule as the county has never failed to meet its payroll. Eastham also maintained that the salary scale for school personnel already rewards experience, pointing to the differences in pay between teachers and administrators. He questioned whether teachers willing to remain in the same job year after year deserve to be rewarded, maintaining that they can <*mprove their salaries by improving themselves. They can take additional educational training to enable them to move into the ranks of administrators, Eastham said, challenging the worth of experience to an educational program. Are you implying that experience is not of value to us in our system?” asked Charles Eldred. At the outset of the meeting, Eldred proposed his own detailed salary scale for teachers, including merit bonuses, as a means of making the county’s pay levels competitive with surrounding jurisdictions and reducing the turnover rate here, highest by far in the area. “Experience and continuity are of great value,” Eldred insisted. “I’ll give you the continuity, Charles,” Eastham remarked. Bloomer said on Tuesday that he had not yet computed the budget totals in light of the cuts made Monday night and was unsure if the reduced expenditures will bring Rappahannock’s per pupil expenses below $1,075, the minimum set by the General Assembly. Should Rappahannock’s per pupil expenditures fail to reach that minimum level, the school system can lose state funding.

The Sheriff and Deputies provide their own cars and gas, but now it can be purchased in quantity and be a bit more economical for the department. Failure To Reassess Ruled Unconstitutional After a special work session held Monday morning, the Rappahannock supervisors appeared no closer to a decision on when and how to conduct the mandated reappraisal that set property assessments here at 100 per cent of fair market value. State law requires the county to conduct a reassessment at 100 per cent market value by 1981. If this requirement is not met, the state has the option of withholding Alcohol Beverage Control Board funds that would normally return to the county. At the March meeting of the supervisors, H. B. Wood asked Commonwealth’s Attorney Douglas Baumgardner for an Attorney General’s ruling on whether withholding ABC funds was unconstitutional.

Frances J. W. Carney, Chairman Isaac Parrish Treasurer Baumgardner reported on Monday that the Attorney General claims the state has authority to divest the county of ABC revenue. Also, said Baumgardner, the Attorney General ruled that “failure to reassess property on schedule would, in and of itself, be an unconstitutional act of the board.” After rechecking the Virginia code, Baumgardner confirmed that the county can wait until 1981 to begin its reassessment instead of starting the process this year. If reassessment gets under way in 1980, the county can use appraisers from the state tax office at a cost of approximately $21,600 for 12 months of work. After this year, the state service won’t be available and the county will have to employ a private Commissioner ot KevenueMerle Scoggin told the supervisors on Monday that .. she’d ^»e<?ured. One estimate from,® commercial fir"1 which conducted I7auquier County’s latest reassessment. The company projected $60,000 plus cost of clerical help, office space and payment to a local board of assessors to do the same job for Rappahannock, according to Mrs. Scoggin. She noted that this company won’t appraise here unless the county also makes the switch to computerized tax and reassessment records at the same time. Supervisor Dick Latham asked if the county should use a local board of accessors to work with the professional appraiser or have an equalization board review assessments before new figures become final. If the county chooses to go with a 1 local board of assessors, said Luke, the supervisors should reconsider the position they’ve adopted in the past to exclude real estate business persons from serving as members. Hubert Gilkey added that all five members of an assessor board should be required to work with the appraiser in all areas of the county. (Law calls for at least three members of a five member local board of assessor to accompany the professional appraiser, including the board representative from the district that the appraiser is working in.) “If we have / an equalization board, they should be people who know a little something about what’s going on,’* Gilkey added. Only Big Landowner* Since the county’s reassessment in 1950, Rappahannock has never had a house and lot owner as a member of its local board of assessors, Jack Miller told the supervisors. “They’re always big landowners,’’ Miller maintained, noting that the majority of Rappahannock’ tax dollars come from levies on houses and lots. After the lasl^nreassessment, Miller saioj he questioned the local boayd on the differences in -appraised value for similar properties. “I was told they assessed some at two-thirds and some at three-fourths,” he said, maintaining that appraisals should have been set at an equal percentage of fair market value for all property owners. Gilkey agreed that the local board of appraisers shouldn’t include members who will value property based on who the owner of the land is. If 100 per cent assessment results in a higher true tax rate, Rappahannock may receive side benefits of increased state aid for education, said Luke. Currently, the county is rated near the top in ability to pay for education and near the bottom in effort. If effort is improved, Luke said, the county should receive more money. Last year, Rappahannock received $220,000 more in total revenue from the state than the county sent to Richmond in taxes, according to the supervisor chairman. This type of imbalance makes if difficult to convince legislators that the formula used to determine state aid for education needs altering in favor of rural counties, he said. “I’m not saying we shouldn’t get state funds —just that it’s hard to argue for a change in the formula." REALTY WORLD - ^Real cEstatel &/—n *41. Qmy I" kbaiiur mmm EQUITY GROWS WITH AGE I What is equity? Quite simply, it’s the portion of your home you own • the part that isn’t mortgaged. To start with, it’s your down payment. Then it grows each month by the amount of principal you repay on your mortgage. For example, let’s assume you’re in the first year of paying off a $25,000 mortgage you got at 9 per cent for 25 years. Your monthly payments for principal and interest are $210.00, of which about $24 is principal, the rest interest. At the end of the year you own about $280 more of your home than when you started * sort of a forced savings “.VjL • : account. (And you’ve got a hefty $2,256 in interest charges to deduct from your taxable income.)' The further along you get in your mortgage payments, the faster your equity grows. In the tenth year, your $210 buys equity at $53 per month rate and in your 20th year it’s up to about $130 per month.

Capital Outlay Plan For $1.25 Million (Continued from Page 1) with a valid enrollment estimate. Luke added that currect educational criteria set by the state call for the expansion program just to serve the students now enrolled at the high school. He noted that he could .supply back-up data for the population projections used in the capital outlay package. “If the school board wants to change the figures, they’ll have to justify the changes to the public with their own data,” he said. Coat Analysis In May, 1979, the school board forwarded a capital outlay proposal to the supervisors with no endorsement except a listing of priorities on building needs with the high school first, elementary school second, bus shop third and school board office last. Architectural plans for the high school included 16,000 square feet of space with an estimated cost of $750,000. In June, the supervisors sent the capital outlay package back to the school board with a demand for a more detailed cost analysis and a suggestion that a joint capital outlay committee be formed to work with Fanning Baumgardner on the project. This time around, each component of the capital expansion proposal carries a dollar value. Three science rooms are figured at $172,800; music room at $51,000; art room $60,000; two business rooms $88,800; cafeteria expansion $109,750; library $56,000; two restrooms $48,000; two handicapped restrooms $6,400; clinic $8,400; teacher workroom $6,000; guidance office $12,200 and locker rooms $48,600. The report notes that the high school’s sewer system was built to serve 285 students (as were all the support facilities in the building—library, cafeteria, bathrooms, offices, storage, etc.). While the cost of upgrading the sewer system will vary, depending on the alternative chosen, all three options bring capacity up to serve 600 students figuring on 16 gallons per day per person. On energy conservation measures intended to “button up” the high school, Luke noted federal funds are available on a 50-50 match with local money for the project. As to any requirements that might accompany the federal grant, “we have to use the money for what we say we’re going to use it for—that's the only string,” Luke said. Three Per Cent Loan Money for the rest of the expansion project can be obtained through Literary Fund loans, the same source the county used to finance construction of the elementary school. Currently, this money is available—up to $1 million per project—at a maximum three per cent interest. As of July 1, 1980, the maximum on amount borrowed will increase to $5 million while the maximum interest rate will jump to six per cent. Luke estimated construction time for the expansion program at approximately 18 months. He, noted, however, that the option exists for replacing some or all of the new classrooms with modular units. Other options that can be considered as architectural tradeoffs, according to Luke’s proposal, include converting the present cafeteria to art or musftic rooms and building a new cafeteria; converting the gymnasium to one or more classrooms or a cafeteria with construction of an improved gym; designing a horticultural laboratory; either expanding the school’s existing heating facility or effecting energy conservation measures and considering the cost effectiveness of the three options for upgrading the. sewer system and the cost effectiveness of upgrading or replacing mechanical and electrical components. In addition, the report notes that increased maintenance costs, estimated at approximately 28 per cent, of keeping up the additional space at the expanded high school also should be considered.

Mrs. Lois Sevareid of Flint Hill had returned from a safari to Kenya, Africa and gave a travelogue in the newspaper for several weeks. After several hours of practice and drilling, several county fire , departments stood by while an old i* bouse on the Homer Henry farm was burned to make way for a new structure. 15 YEARS AGO Ellen gore of Castleton was commissioned a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Nursing Corps. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Gore. Arts and Crafts and Knitting group planned a meeting with certificates to be given for achievement and projects will be on exhibit.

Copies of the draft plan are available for review at the clerk’s office in Washington and will be handed out at each of the community meetings. Following the final session in Woodville on Friday night, the planning commissioners will vote to advertise the document for public hearing unless response at the meetings indicates that extensive revision is desired. Following the planning, commission’s public hearing, the comprehensive plan will be forwarded to the board of supervisors which must also hold its own hearing before adopting the plan in time to meet the state’s July 1 deadline. In going over the plan on Wednesday, planning district, executive director John Capelle noted that, of all the maps included in the document, the subdivision map is the "most marginal.’’ Capelle said the information was taken from tax maps that haven’t been updated in 15 years. "The tax maps, as you well know, need some work,’’ he added. In reviewing the subdivision data, Capelle remarked that information should include the total number of lots on record in the county. “That’s what people don’t realize,’’ Miller responded. “We have a tremendous number of lots, smah' parcels, already in existence.” “l.G&O,” Capelle answered. “That’s since 1962,” planning commissioner E. P. Luke added. Capelle noted that the figure he cited included lots in major subdivisions only. i i Not Official Boundaries Reviewing sections on the county’s villages, Capelle said he’d emphasized that the areas shown as' Sperryville, Woodville, Washington, Flint HiU, Amissville and Chester Gap include study area only and do not indicate official boundaries. "Do you feel comfortable in going to public meetings with this, gentlemen?” Miller asked, holding the draft plan. “I think you’ve done an excellent job,” he added, complimenting Capelle. A few of the commissioners expressed some concern about fielding negative reactions from the public at the community meetings. “We’ve made some mistakes—no question about that—we just don’t know where they are,” Miller said, adding that the planners will correct any mistakes that are pointed out to them. “We’re acting like the bride and groom with premarital jitters,” he said. The planners. Miller reminded his fellow commission members, have produced the best job that they are capable of doing in developing Rappahannock’s first comprehensive plan. Capelle told the ptanners that he will tape record all comments made at the community meetings to ensure all proposals will be reviewed. He added that he will also have sign up sheets for individuals who want more information. Program At Wakefield Spenser Brand of the community ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ addressed Wakefield Country Day School students March 21 and presented a film clip of the new movie, Jesus, which will soon be premiering in area theatres. The film is considered to be the most carefully documented movie ever made on the life of Christ with the dialogue taken directly from the Gospel of Luke and the filming done entirely on location. Brand emphasized the importance of having a vital relationship with the creator through Jesus Christ. With an M.A. in Public Affairs from the University of Minnesota, Brand has seen government service in the Department of Interior. He emphasized that government alone cannot solve all of our problems and that faith and spiritual life is vital. Brand is one of several speakers at Wakefield as part of its Religious Awareness Program. The lectuve series is designed to reinforce religious faith in all denominations. Wakefield is a non-sectarian school which has made an effort to provide a moral and religious atmosphere for students. Other speakers in the awareness program have included the Rev. David Moore of Washington Baptist Church, the Rev. Jennings Hobson III, rector of Trinity Episcopal Church and Father duCastillon, also of Washington. The final lecture will be presented by Mrs. Laura Robb, president of the Bethel Synagogue in Winchester who will speak on the principles and practice of Judaism. —Rippikmiock NtwiPhoto/Daplm Hutcfcinaon ELEMENTARY ALL-STARS—Last Wednesday, the sixth and seventh grade all-stars faced the teachers a hard fought game that was close right down to the final seconds.

Wood proved when he got the pass off despite aggressive defensive play by teacher Debby Milbum. The teachers won the annual game against the sixth and seventh grade all-stars but it took some effort as the kids made up in determination and spirit what they lacked in heighth. Comment Sought On Food Stamps The Rappahannock Welfare Department learned this week that it might not be meeting the food stamp needs of this community. New federal regulations require a local assessment and if deficiencies are found, a corrective action plan must be written. Improved delivery of food stamps could involve such changes as Saturday office hours or night hours, greater outreach efforts, a different method of issuance or several issuahce locations. Mrs. Elizabeth Buntin, the superintendent, of the department said that her office is open forty hours a week and that since the food stamp worker begins work at 7:30 a.m., there is someone available to take applications eight and one half hours a day each week day. The agency has had a mail issuance system for stamps since the beginning of the program in this county in July 1974. A few households with special problems or emergency situations are allowed to pick up their stamps at the office. The superintendent explained that mail issuance of stamps saves transportation costs for the recipients. On the matter of outreach efforts, Mrs. Buntin said that although her feeling is that everyone in the county must know about the food stamp program, she would like to hear from anyone who believes that news about availability of the program doesn’t reach everyone. Public comment is solicited on the department’s certification and issuance services by writing the department in Washington, Virginia, 22747, or calling 675-3613. Hearing Set The Virginia Soil and Water Conservation Commission will conduct four regional public hearings in mid-April on the draft 1980 Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook. This new Handbook will replace the original 1974 State Handbook and establish new State minimum criteria, standards 'ahd specifications for the control of erosion and sedimentation from construction related land disturbing activities in Virginia. The regional public hearing closest to Rappahannock will be conducted on Tuesday, April 15, at 7:00 p.m. in Leesburg. 4*. “Dance Hall” Laws Considered By Board Complaints about a dance held last weekend at the Washington Community Center have moved the supervisors to consider enacting a “dance hall ordinance” aimed at controlling disturbances from public gatherings. At Monday’s work session held by the Rappahannock Supervisors, Chairman E. P. Luke reported that Sheriff W. A. Buntin had received a call at home Sunday morning at 2:45 a.m., complaining about noise from a dance at the community center on Fodderstack Road. The person also telephoned Luke at 7 a.m. the same morning and called supervisor Clarence Baldwin, too, Luke said. “No member of the board of supervisors has the authority to send the sheriff anywhere,” Luke emphasized, adding that this wasn’t the first time he’d been called with a request to interfere in law enforcement duties. Under enabling legislation passed by the General Assembly, the county can pass *jdance hall ordinance prohibiting noise that will disturb neighbors, Commonwealth’s Attorney Douglas Baumgardner told the supervisors. With this ordinance, permits are issued allowing the “dance hall’’ to operate. If noise problems continue, then the official designated to administer the ordinance can refuse to reissue a permit once it expires, Baumgardner ex plained. Without a dance h'mll ordinance, the only remedy for noise problems is to charge offenders with disturbing the peace, he continued. Baumgardner noted, however, that it is often difficult to know exactly who is the wrong doer legally responsible for the disturbance. “Maybe we ought to consider passing an ordinance,” Luke remarked. With a dance hall ordinance, "you don’t need to haul a man to jail or charge him with a criminal offense” for creating a disturbance, Baumgardner responded. “You just don’t re-issue the permit,” he added. Luke noted that he, Baldwin and the sheriff had received complaints about noise at the community center from only one landowner in the vicinity of the building. However, he instructed Baumgardner to prepare a draft of a dance hall ordinance for the supervisors to discuss at their April 3 meeting. Supervisor Dick Latham asked if provisions of a dance hall ordinance will also apply to dances sponsored by the county’s volunteer fire and rescue organizations. Luke replied that the supervisors should be able to give fire and rescue groups an exemption from the permit requirement, noting that no complaints have ever been lodged on noise from that type of gathering. The supervisors also agreed to check if a dance hall ordinance can be applied to noise generated at outdoor revival services, specifically the weeklong camping services held by Rev. L. D. Savage at facilities on Route 622 in Castleton. Baumgardner noted that the supervisors could include a curfew in the dance hall ordinance but suggested instead that they establish guidelines so the ordinance administrator can have flexibility to set a curfew based on circumstances in oach case. • “Let’s get some discussion and see what the people want to do,’’ Luke concluded. Census Takers Still Needed Full-time, temporary jobs as census takers in this area are still available, Michael Flanary, Manager of the local 1980 census office, said ioaay. “We’re counting on you if you can work a 40-hour week visiting households and interviewing the residents,” the manager said, adding that some evening and Saturday work will be required. Census takers will begin work soon as part of the 1980 Census of Population and Housing. They will attend a training session for which they will be paid. Most census takers will be paid a piece rate for the number of household interviews completed. In a few instances, pay will be by the hour. For all workers, pay will average $4 an hour or more. Census takers must be able to follow printed instructions, do simple arithmetic, and read maps for which they will be tested before hiring. They should be able to walk a considerable amount, climb stairs, and ought to have good eyesight and hearing. They should have a home telephone and many will need a car, for which mileage will be paid when it is used in census work. The Census Bureau is an equal opportunity employer. Interested persons should come, ready to take the written job related test at any local office of the Virginia Employment Commission. Letters Undemocratic To the editor: Rappahannock County uses a grossly undemocratic means to select its School Board. This results in undemocratic representation. The Trustee Electoral Board appoints the School Board .members for four terms. The Electoral Board consists of only three persons appointed by the Circuit Judge. They serve for three years, but one member cannot even remember when first appointed: it exceeds two decades due to routine reappointments. Despite his good will, this is not good politics. The new Circuit Judge, Shore Robertson, is not even from this area; he must use hearsay for future appointments and the tradeoffs begin. The House of Delegates and Senate in Richmond appoint the Circuit Judges for eigh* years. The average person has no impact on this system. » The only alternative method of School Board selection is far more democratic: the County Board of Supervisors appoints the School Board members. A petition requesting this must be signed by fifteen percent of the number of voters who voted in the last presidential election and presented to the Circuit Judge who schedules an election. We need less than one hundred more signatures to meet this requirement. Will your sign the request for a referendum? Petitions are at the Rappahannock Medical Center and Nature’s Foods, or contact me and I’ll find the petition closest to you. MARY BETH MARTIN 675-3279 Support EMS The rescue squad in Rappahannock work hard to serve the people of the county and it is a continual struggle to do so. The Emergency Medical Services Council of Planning District Nine was formed to assist the rescue squads in the five counties in doing their jobs. This EMS Council is a locally controlled group funded by federal dollars and now President Carter has, recommended that the program be ended as of July 1. While all programs must expect to share in the present budget austerity, the complete removal of a program > that can so directly affect people’s lives should not be expected, especially when it is funded by such a small amount of money in relation to the budget cuts that are being called for. If the people of the county want to support their rescue squads, then they should write their representatives in Congress, J. Kenneth Robinson and Senators John Warner and Harry F. Byrd, requesting that they work to “please save at least part of the Emergency Medical Services Program”, Public Law 96-142. This is important and must be done immediately if it is to help.

Steven Melnikoff told the supervisors at a work session on Monday that his company, PBM Group Incorporated, can do the actual inspecting required by the Virginia Code, The county, however, will still have to have a local building official to schedule appointments Sheep Dog Clinic This Weekend Border Collies from Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, North Carolina and Virginia will converge on Sunnybrook Farm at White Post, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, March 28, 29 and 30, for the United States Border Collie Club’s seventh sheep dog handlers’ training clinic.

VIRGINIA EMPLOYMENT COMMISSION3 UO W. C*m»ron StrMt, Culp«p*r, VA.,22701 and coordinate the new inspection program, he explained. Melnikoff also noted that PBM will initially sign a contract for only six months. Under the terms outlined, the $500 contract fee will ensure a building inspector is available three days per week, cover the cost of inspection forms and provide 'for two evening seminars to explain details of the program to contractors and interested citizens. “That will help to ease a lot of tension,” remarked supervisor Clarence Baldwin. “People in the county don’t understand what an inspection entails but want to be educated,” he said. "We’d be guaranteed a man three days a week?” asked supervisor Dick Latham. “Or as often as you want,” Melnikoff replied. The six months contract gives the county flexibility, he maintained. If economic conditions result in a slowdown of construction, then the contract can be renegotiated to guarantee an inspector one or two days a week. If construction picks up, then an inspector can be supplied five days per week, Melnikoff explained. The local building official will take permit applications and schedule inspection visits, he continued. This local official will be more of an administrator and will coordinate work, Melnikoff said, noting that the person filling the job would not need the same technical experience required to check construction for building code compliance. PBM inspectors will work an eight hour day if the workload demands and will be available first thing in the morning, according to Melnikoff. If the supervisors want to make the building inspectors responsible for seeing that construction meets zoning ordinances, particularly regulations on setback distance, this can also be worked out, Melnikoff said. If a structure violates zoning ordinances, "what you want to do is stop the job before the man spends any money,” he said. Noting that compliance with local ordinances Unusually the responsibility of the zoning administrator, Melnikoff said that “the man who goes to the site could do both jobs,” checking for compliance with state building code regulations and local zoning ordinances. According to Melnikoff, PBM inspectors will also turn in daily reports of their activities. On a typical workday, he said, the inspector will check with the building official first thing in the morning for a schedule of construction sites to visit and then will stop back by in the afternoon to turn in a report, including notice of any building code violations found. He estimated that a typical residential structure would require six inspections at $25 each. The supervisors explained after the work session that Enrollment Period Ends Soon Match is the last month of the 1980 general enrollment period for people who failed to sign up for Medicare medical insurance. There’s a general enrollment period during the first 3 months of each year. Also eligible to enroll at this time are people who once had medical insurance but who dropped this protection. Medical insurance protection will start July 1, 1980, for people who sign up during this period. The basic premium for medical insurance is $9.60 starting July 1. The basic premium is increased by 10 percent for each 12 months a person could have had this protection but did not. The premium paid by those with medical insurance represents less than one-third of the cost. The remaining amount is paid by the Federal Government from general revenues. Medical insurance helps pay for doctors’ services, outpatient hospital services, and other medical items not covered by the hospital insurance part of Medicare. In general, after a person has had $60 in reasonable charges for covered medical expenses in a year—the , Menu RCHS ft RCES March 31-April 4 Monday Cheeseburger, french fries, applesauce, spice cake, milk.

Anyone who has a question about either part of Medicare, hospital insurance or medical insurance, can get the amswer at the Culpeper social security office. The people there have free leaflets which tell about the protection offered by Medicare. The , office is loC&Ved“ it Sii1 Cittpe^iif^ Shopping Center and the telephone number is 8253500. inspection fees would be paid directly by the contractor to PBM. They noted also that a contractor could plan work so that several inspections—for instance, plumbing, electrical and close-in—could be finished during one visit. If this approach is followed, they emphasized, the S25 fee will cover all three inspections. Melnikoff advised the supervisors to have the local building official available five days per week to schedule appointments and answer questions, at least when the program begins. If the official keeps office hours only three days a week, suggested supervisor E. P. Luke, the county could install a telephone recording device to take messages during the other two days. Melnikoff agreed to bring a letter from his company’s board of directors to the April 3 supervisor meeting, formally setting out the details of the inspection service that PBM is offering the county. Luke noted that Rappahannock’s building inspection program is not scheduled to begin until July 1, 1980, giving the board sufficient time to work out administrative details. no.

By NANCY SECRIST VPI EitnikM Agent WHERE TO PLACE THE GARDEN A person planning a new vegetable garden or moving the old one to a better site can follow these suggestions from Virginia Tech Extension specialists in home horticulture. —Avoid placing the garden in low spots at the base of a hill or at the foot of a slope boardered by a solid fence. Such areas are slow to warm up in the spring and frost settles in these places because of. a lack of air drainage. —« *-• —Avoid windy locations. —Locate it near a good supply of water if possible. —Choose a spot near the living quarters so it is. convenient to work in it for short periods of time. —Avoid planting near trees and shrubs. They compete for nutrients and water. —Use contour rows or terraces on slopes or hillsides to avoid erosion. South facing slopes are warmer. —Plan the garden plot so that tall crops are on the north side of the garden. Then they won’t shade the shorter vegetables. —Group the plants by length of growing period. Plant spring crops together so that later crops can be planted in these areas when the early crops mature. —Vegetables grow best in a level area with loose, welldrained soil and at least six hours of sun. A site that has eight to ten hours of sun is ideal. —Do not plant related vegetables in exactly the same location in the garden more often than once in three years. This rotation prevents the buildup of insects and disease. Keep old plans to use as guides for rotating crops.
