RICr.!!0:iD 19, VA. 23219 Tornado Strikes Rappahannock County BZA Okays PE Voltage Jump On Thursday, the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) gave unqualified approval to quadrupling the voltage in Potomac Edison’s power line across Rappahannock from 34.5 KV (thousand volts}, to 138 KV, providing the company rebuilds its line on existing right-of-way. The improvements will double the utility's capacity to provide power to the county. The BZA members indicated that they will approve a shift in the line’s location to avoid homes near Routes 671 and 651 if PE can purchase additional right-of-way from affected land owners. After the extra land is purchased, then a second public hearing will be scheduled, according to the BZA’s stipulation. “This is undoubtably going to reduce the cost of electricity for the citizens of Rappahannock,” facetiously" remarked chairman Josef Gardiner in operning the discussion on Potomac Edison’s application for a special use permit. “I wish it was that supple,” PE representative Kenny Nichols answered. He maintained that the rebuilt line with higher voltage will improve PE’s “service reliability” but also acknowledged that the improvements may ultimately result in increased costs to consumers. Nichols noted that PE’s F odderstack Classic To Go Off Saturday Runners in the second annual Fodderstack Classic Road Race will leave the starting line at 10 a.tn. this coming Saturday, April 19, in Flint Hill. Contestants will follow the six mile course to Washington, crossing the finish in front of the court house. Highlight of this year’s running will be the awarding of the Eva L. Smith Memorial Trophy to the first Rappahannock County resident who finishes. The trophy is given in honor of the former deputy clerk of the court who was instrumental in originating the Fodderstack Classic. In* addition to the memorial, trophies will be presented to the first three finishfccs in separate men and women's divisions for runners 12 years and younger, 13 to 18, 19 to 29, 30 to 39, 40 to 49, 50 to 59, and 60 and over. Original trophies have been made again this year by Sperryville potter Jeanne Drevas and donated by local businesses. Pre-registration at $5 per runner will continue through Friday afternoon. To register, call 675-3621 or 675-3417. Registration on the day of the race will be $6 with entries taken up to 9 a.m. at the start of the course in Flint Hill. Tee-shirts will be given to the first 300 runners to register. Water stops will be set-up at intervals along the six-mile course. In addition, the Washington Baptist Church on the corner across the street from the court house will have hot lunches for sale to hungry runners and spectators at the race. The church’s Spring Event will also include plants, odds and ends and baked goods for sale. The second annual running of the Fodderstack Classic is sponsored by Nature’* Foods in Washington. Proceeds from the race will benefit the Rappahannock Recreation Center. first transmission lines in the county were built in 1930 and supplied all of the electrical needs at that time. Then, as demand grew and reliability became more important, a second line from Front Royal through Flint Hill to the Sperryville substation was “overbuilt” on top of the existing line. In 1967, Nichols continued, Potomac Edison tied in with Virginia Electric and Power Company in Madison County. According to Nichols, the maximum demand here in 1970 was 3,300 kilowatts. In 1979, he said, the maximum demand reached 6,300 kilowatts. He acknowledged that the 1979 level showed a reduction of 900 kilowatts over the previous two years, the result of conservation efforts on the part of consumers. Firm Power Available firm power from PE for Rappahannock on one line is 9,000 kilowatts, Nichols reported. He added, however, that service quality begins to deteriorate at that level. “Firm power means that in the event you lose one of two lines, the other is capable of carrying the full load,” Nichols explained. Total capacity on two lines is 20.000 kilowatts, he said. “However, we have reason to assume that we will lose one line from time to time," Nichols said, noting that this has happened already three times this year. “Based on firm power and growth estimates, what we have will carry the county for another five years until the demand reaches 9,000 kilowatts,” he stated. But, Nichols said, recent inspections have shown that many of the utilities 50-yearold power line poles in the county are unsatisfactory, requiring that improvements be made. “With the 138,000 kilowatt source available in Luray, it seemed appropriate to rebuild at 138 KV (Continued on Page 3) k Budget Shortfall Still Exists Action by the Rappahannock school board last week to add $44,070 to the proposed 1980-81 school budget will not bring per pupil expenditures up to the minimum set by the state, according to superintendent William Bloomer. At an April 8 meeting, board members Robert Eastham, Allen Stokes and Walter Masterson approved an allocation of $44,070 for a double modular unit to house two learning disabled and two mentally retarded classes at the elementary school. Charles Eldred and chairman Beverly Massie '* voted against the double trailer, instead, they advocated that $38,590 in local Hello, Dolly Opens Friday Tomorrow night at Rappahannock County High School, Don Bomberger will present the musical, “Hello, Dolly!” This Broadway classic has endeared audiences everywhere and is sure to do the same here as it runs for two consecutive nights, April 18 and 19, at the local high school auditorium.

The decision by the majority of the board members to increase the proposed budget by $44,070 for the double modular unit came after--Dr,- Bloomer confirmed that the budget for 1980-81 already forwarded (Continued on Page 3) Trustees To Meet On School Board The Rappahannock County School Trustee Electoral Board has agreed to advertise a meeting for May 5 at 7 p.m. in the elementary school to confirm the appointments to the school board of Robert Eastham and Charles Eldred made last summer. At the same time, the trustees will consider candidates for upcoming vacancies in Piedmont and Jackson Districts, positions now filled by Allen Stokes and Beverly Massie. Notice of the May meeting states that the trustees will confirm the appointments that became effective July 1, 1979 as well as “all other actions taken at the last meeting.” According to the notice, the trustees will “affirmatively vote in open session on all actions taken at its last meeting.” At their June 25, 1979. meeting, the trustees announced the appointments of Eldred from Hampton District and Eastham from Wakefield, a decision reached in an earlier executive session. At that time, chairman C. E. 'Ned” Johnson insisted that the trustees were not required to repeat any vote in an open meeting. Late Monday afternoon, a tornado touched down in the Castleton*Woodville area of Rappahannock. Progress of the freak storm ums captured by Dr. Bill Young who snapped a series of photographs over a three minute span from his home near Castleton. The tornado’s funnel lifted the roof off Harry Clarkson’s barn and reportedly toppled a utility pole and power lines onto a passing truck but no one was injured. Other pictures of the storm are on page 7, Judge Orders Referendum By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Last Thursday afternoon, April 10, circuit court judge Shore Robertson signed an order calling for a referendum on the method of appointing members to the Rappahannock County School Board. The referendum will consist of a yes or no vote on whether school board members should be elected by the board of supervisors. Rather than placing the question on the ballot in the November general elections, Robertson stipulated that the referendum is to be held Tuesday, June 17, two weeks before appointments of two school board members expire. If the referendum passes, vacancies in Piedmont and Jackson Districts will be filled by the board of supervisors. Current representatives from the two Since then, two opinions from the Virginia Attorney General’s office have held that the trustees acted improperly and violated provisions of the state's Freedom of Information Act (FOI) that requires members to: 1. vote affirmatively in open session to enter executive session, stating in the motion the specific section of FOI which permits the closed meeting, 2. state the purpose for which the closed session is being held, 3. repeat in public any vote taken in executive session. Despite the rulings from the Attorney General, the trustees refused until Monday to validate actions taken at their June, 1979. meeting. Also at tnat meeting, tne trustees—Johnson, Christine Johnston and Granville Eastham—announced that they will limit school board members to three terms or 12 years on the board. Suggested Criteria In addition, the trustees at their earlier meeting handed out mimeographed sheets listing suggested criteria for selection of school board members. Qualifications 1 included being a tax paying voter, being genuinely interested in the public schools, showing an interest in quality education, demonstrating expertise in business and having children in the public schools. The first Attorney General’s ruling, dated October 4. noted that statutory requirements in the Virginia Code on eligibility stipulate only that a candidate “shall be a bona fide resident of the magisterial district or town from which he is elected...” A second opinion handed down on March 13 further clarified eligibility criteria. "Obviously a school trustee electoral board must employ some benchmarks to assist in assaying the relative merits of the candidates. Thus, if the school trustee electoral board wishes to publish suggested guidelines to inform the public of the qualities they seek in school board members, but at the same time acknowledges that candidates may lack some or possess other unlisted qualities, this would be within the discretion of the board," the second opinion stated. The trustees reached their (Continued on Page 3) districts are Allen Stokes and Beverly Massie. Attorney Sharon Genebach Luke presented Robertson on Thursday with petitions in favor of the referendum signed by 341 registered voters. Law requires that the petitions be signed by 15 per cent or more of the number of registered voters who cast ballots in the last presidential election. According to registrar Ruth Kilby, 2,040 people here voted in the 1976 presidential race. Currently, school board members are appointed by a three member board of electoral trustees. Of the three trustees, chairman C. E. “Ned” Johnson of Sperryville has served for almost a quarter of a century, Johnson, Christine Johnston, also of Sperryville, and Granville Eastham of Flint Hill were appointed last year to three year terms as trustees by Judge Rayner V. Snead, since retired. Virginia law allows for only two methods of naming local school boards: either appointment by an appointed board of electoral trustees or by an elected board of supervisors. as explained oy supervisor chairman E. P. Luke, the manner in which appointments are generally handled by supervisors is to have the representative from the district where the vacancy occurs place a name in nomination to be voted on by the rest of the board. Luke indicated he favored appointments made by the board of supervisors as this method establishes direct lines of responsibility between the people and the school board members. The school board is responsible to the supervisors who are in turn responsible to the voters, he explained. In order for the referendum to pass, it must be supported by a majority of the voters who cast their ballots on June 17.

Drivers Ask For 12% Increase Angry bus drivers and an angry teacher confronted the Rappahannock School board at last week’s meeting during the portion of the session set aside for public presentations. Speaking on behalf of all Rappahannock bps drivers, Peggy Sutphin told the board that they are dissatisfied with the nine percent salary increase included in the proposed 1980-81 school budget. “We want 12 per cent or equal to what the teachers are getting,” Sutphin said, prompting nods of agreement from the rest of the drivers at the meeting. In addition, she proposed no. I garden elper that the board adopt a resolution declaring the drivers to be full-time employees so they will be eligible for retirement benfits. She further requested that the board pay the employer’s share of retirement, going back as many years as each individual driver has been employed. Sutphin also asked that the drivers be given one day per month sick leave for a total of ten per year. “We’re the only county in the area with no benefits for bus drivers at all,” she said. Sutphin maintained that the drivers need a 12 per cent cost of living raise just as much as teachers do. “The cost of living is going up 18 per cent this year," she said, noting that 12 per cent won’t keep school employees even with the increase. “With nine per cent, we're even further away." She noted that superintendent William Bloomer has proposed retirement for drivers in the past but that his recommendation was turned down by the school board. Acknowledging that employees must work 30 hours per week to be eligible, Sutphin maintained that drivers qualify because they must remain on call during the entire school day. She reported that Page, Shenandoah and Prince William counties all offer retirement benefits while most bus drivers in surrounding jurisdictions also receive five days sick leave and two days personal leave per year. Other counties, she said, pay a portion of medical insurance premiums for drivers. “Every county I called has a salary step for their drivers; Sutphin continued. “We feel like we have nothing right now. We feel we deserve a little bit of something,” she said. Sutphin also asked for RAPPAHANNOCK KARATE CLUB Eack Tuesday 7 to 9 p.m. SpejrryxiHe Fire Hall' $I2“Per Mbntk Dues' ~ J. W.

Bloomer replied that the school’s insurance covers the drivers as well as the students. “I’m not sure about legal fees,” he said, offering to check the policy and report back to the drivers. The board also authorized Bloomer to investigate sick leave policy for all classes of school employees as well as the other requests from the drivers. Chairman Beverly Massie added that it would be helpful for the drivers to present their requests in the future at the start of the annual budget process. Experience Important? Elementary school librarian Lucia Kilby prefaced her comments by noting that she has taught for many years in the Rappahannock school system. She expressed dismay over remarks made at an erarlier budget meeting by Robert Eastham who suggested that experienced teachers go back to school to become administrators in order to gain financial benefits for their years of experience. “We need good, experienced teachers in the classroom,” she maintained. “If this is the viewpoint of the board, we can expect an even more drastic turnover (in teachers),” Kilby maintained, referring to the 40 per cent turnover in faculty this term. “And who will suffer? The children of Rappahannock County,” she concluded. In his remarks at the special school board budget meeting, Eastham replied, he hadn’t tried to imply that teachers have no value if they .choose to remain good teachers, “What I meant to say is that this board must address itself to upgrading our staff from within the staff. We have to find leaders in the staff and encourage them to develop...That is what I meant—not that a teacher who is a good teacher shouldn’t remain in the classroom,” Eastham ex. plained. “I was here and I heard ' it,” Kilby'' responded, repeating that the board needs to encourage teachers who are not natives or married to natives to stay in the county. Eastham reiterated that the board needs to promote teachers already on the staff into the ranks of administration. “We need to encourage teachers to stay in Rappahannock, and one way is by paying them better,” insisted Kilby, getting the last word in the exchange. Chairman Beverly Massie noted that each board member has the right to state his or her own opinion and that this opinion does not necessarily reflect the position of the board. “It is only the board as a whole that sets policy,” she stressed. At an earlier meeting, the For Farm, Home, or Professional... We have everything needed to help keep you organized ...

Main St. Culpeper, Va. 825-4707 school board was questioned on whether it is equal treatment for the board to require students found guilty of violations in drug and alcohol policy to attend Mental Health clinic counseling sessions with their parents when the clinic charges different families different fees based on income. Jo Gorman, director of the mental health clinics in the Five-county Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District, explained that sliding fee scales are assessed on the ability of clients to pay for services. She said that mental health clinics must make up in fees the difference between the expenses and federal, state and local funding. Gorman noted that federal funds are supplied through an eight year declining grant, with fewer dollars received each year. Counseling fees run between S2S and SI per hour, she reported, with charges averaging between S4 and $8. "We must charge fees so we can keep our doors open when the federal funds decline,” Gorman said. She agreed that it is not likely for counseling fees to be a burden on any family. Gorman added that clinic personnel also believe clients are receiving help in exchange for the cost of counseling. The board agreed to have Dr. Bloomer investigate a contract for counseling with the mental health clinic. Mrs. Massie noted that Dr. Bloomer had checked with the state Department of Education and verified that the board is within its rights to direct students to counseling services and at the same time, expect the student to pay for the required services. Soccer Considered Board member Allen Stokes pointed out that the board “overlooked” including an appropriation for a high school soccer program in the proposed 1980-81 budget. “I’m very much in favor of this.” added Stokes. The board authorized Bloomer to ask for a waiver from the state Department of Education to allow Bob Haase to coach a soccer team. Normally, regulations require that a coach also be a full-time faculty member which Haase is not. The board members indicated they will make a decision on beginning a soccer program at RCHS after the waiver is acted upon. At the request of assistant principal John Toth, the board approved an appropriation of $500 for a higher fence in front of the bleachers at the RCHS baseball field. Board member Walter Masterson suggested that a sign be erected warning spectators that they attended at their own risk. “We can put up a sign but will that relieve us of responsibility?” asked Charles Eldred, suggesting that liability in the case of an accident caused by a flying ball be reviewed. The board also agreed to “express an interest in writing” in action initiated by Bath County to challenge “arbitrary and discriminatory funding” of education by the state. Bath's potential suit also maintains that the state has failed to address educational problems in sparsely populated jurisdictions.

East St., Culpeper 825-1755 Luke Proposes R CHS Trailers By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Newi Staff Writer In a report to the school board last week, supervisor chairman E. P. Luke recommended buying trailers to solve the classroom space needs at Rappahannock County High School. By opting for modular units over “brick and mortar” . construction, Luke said, the cost of a capital outlay program can be made “politically acceptable.” He estimated price of temporary classrooms at $13,000 to $14,000 apiece with science lab units at $20,325. Improvements to the support facilities, including cafeteria, library, restrooms and sewage disposal system and “buttoning up” the building to make it more energy efficient will run about $329,004, according to Luke. “That puts things down within the talking range” so an expansion program could begin immediately “within the next school year,” Luke said. The supervisor chairman, also chairman of the joint supervisor-school board capital outlay committee, presented two alternatives. The first called for 14,188 square feet of new space in seven classrooms plus expansion of support facilities including additions to library and cafeteria, two restrooms for handicapped and two for regular students, a clinic, teacher workroom, guidance counselor’s office and locker room. Also figuring in expense of energy conservation measures and upgrading the sewer system, the price on the first alternative is $1.25 million, Luke reported. Politically Acceptable According to Luke, a capital improvements program must satisfy three criteria: it must meet mandates set by the state, it must be affordable and it must be politically acceptable. “TTie last two are probably more important than the first,” he added. The $1.25 million proposal for an expansion with seven permanent classrooms meets immediate needs "in areas where the state department of education has said we’ve got to provide sonte instruction,” said Luke. Classrooms called for in this plan are three science rooms with laboratory facilities, two business rooms, art room and music room. “It may be affordable but it is sure not politically acceptable,” he maintained. Miss Reid Engaged Mr. and Mrs. Murphy J. Reid' of Castleton proudly announce the engagement of their daughter, Kimberly Maureen to Paul Michael Novak. Miss Reid is a 1978 graduate of Rappahannock County High School and is presently employed as a legal secretary. Mr. Novak is originally from Loughborough England. A September wedding is planned. If the $1.25 million expansion is paid for with a school construction loan from the state Literary Fund, then the local tax rate will have to go up 65 cents or 15 per cent to make the higher loan payments, according to Luke. The $1.25 million construction program will take 2'/j to three years to complete, he continued. Temporary structures, on the other hand, can be ready for classes in 1980-81 school year, said Luke. In recommending modular units, Luke also proposed revisions in scheduling to bring about better utilization of school buildings. He asked the school board to consider year-round classes, Saturday classes and extending Christmas vacation for one month with a corresponding extension to the length of the term in order to save on heating costs. Penonal Analysis In presenting his report, Luke emphasized that it wasn’t the effort of the joint capital outlay committee but rather his own “personal analysis” arrived at after working with county engineer Fanning Baumgardner, superintendent of schools William Bloomer and representatives from the state Department of Education. "The committee never operated as a committee,” he said. “The other committee members were either not interested or did not formulate anything.” In considering space needs at the high school, "we’re not talking about anything new,” Luke said, noting that both alternatives cover just the minimum required for RCHS to meet state standards. According to Luke, the high school was built in 1960 to serve 285 students. In 1966, space was added to increase classroom capacity by 100 but base facilities—library, office, storage, restrooms, cafeteria, etc.—were unchanged. In 1976, an earlier capital outlay committee recommended improvements to the school but no action was taken because members felt too many variables were involved, according to Luke. “That’s not a good reason for not making a decision,” he maintained. Again in 1979, the same needs were identified and although three modular classrooms have since been added, the same needs exist in 1980, Luke stated, noting that every classroom is currently used every period of the day. Enrollment at the school built originally for 285 now stands at 487, the supervisor chairman pointed out. Just moving current elementary classes up, this enrollment will increase to 520, he reported. Additionally, Luke said, population experts from University of Virginia’s Tayloe-Murphy Institute predict that the relatively high growth rate of counties bordering major urban areas will continue despite the high cost of gasoline as long as fuel supplies are adequate. According to Luke, the experts believe the higher costs of commuting will be balanced by more fuel efficient automobiles plus cheaper housing costs and lower tax rates in rural jurisdictions. In pushing for purchase of modular units, Luke described this alternative as “the fastest and most economical way of solving space problems.” If current trends reverse and Rappahannock’s school population declines, then the modular units can be sold when no longer needed at no great financial loss to the county, he maintained. “As an elected official sworn to uphold the Code of Virginia, I see too many requirements (set by the state on education) that are not being met,” Luke cautioned the school board. By opting for trailers with some remodeling of base facilities, RCHS's expansion program could be completed by fall, he concluded. There were no questions from the school board members following Luke’s presentation. The board’s only response was to thank the supervisor chairman and county engineer Fanning Baumgardner for the work they put into the capital outlay proposals.

This concert features Bob Greene’s "World of Jelly Roll Morton”, and recreates the fabulous jazz of the 20’s. Shortfall (Continued from Page 1) to the supervisors fell short of the minimum $1,075 per pupil expenditure. Bloomer warned the board that federal and state funds could be withheld if the minimum wasn’t reached. During the ensuing discussion, it was pointed out several times that capital outlay costs and debt service, as well as “categorical funds” for special education, vocational education and food services cannot be counted towards per pupil expenditure.' Despite this, Masterson, Eastham and Stokes voted the appropriation for the double modular unit, an item that is listed under capital outlay in the school budget. “The double modular unit did nothing to erase the need that existed prior to that motion,” Bloomer stated when questioned on Tuesday regarding the supplemental budget item. Even with this additional expenditure of local revenue, the proposed 1980-81 budget falls $38,590 short of the $1,075 minimum, according to the superintendent. He reported that he’d sent the school board a memo, advising the members of this continued shortfall.-D.H.

BZA Okays PE Voltage Jump (Continued from Page 1) (thousand volts),” he maintained. The county will need additional power in five years, Nichols said, adding that it will take about one year to rebuild the line. He reported that PE has already been given permission to rebuild its lines at higher voltage where they cross through Shenandoah National Park, providing the utility acquires no new rightof-way and relocates the route to improve visual impact. Questioned by BZA members Pete Estes and Jim Massie, Nichols said poles for the new line will have to be taller but won’t be of tri-pod design, will be made of western red cedar wood, not steel, and remain about the same distance apart. Estes noted that wires are hanging too low at some places on the line and asked if they would be raised. Nichols replied that there will be “an excess of 20 feet from the ground to the first wire,” as required by safety codes. “I’m sure some are too low now,” he acknowledged. With less reliance on total electric homes and outdoor lighting, Gardner predicted, electrical power demands in the county will decrease rather than grow. Nichols agreed that power consumption has dropped in the past year or so. "Our experts say it won’t continue ... We’ve felt the brunt of the conservation effort.” He noted that PE is connecting over 57 new customers a year now in Rappahannock. Estes remarked that he could understand why landowners close to the power line might object to quadrupling the voltage. “But there’s no landowner here objecting,” he added. Relocation Proposed In the vicinity of Route 671 and 651 near Sperryville, several new homes have been built very close to the power line, according to Nichols. “This concerns me a little bit. I’d like to propose that when our engineers go through there, if the poles have encroached too close to homes, we would like your permission to move the lines.” “We can’t give our permission,” Gardiner replied, noting that the utility will have to secure additional right-of-way first from property owners. Nichols emphasized that the power line was constructed before the houses, that the houses were built later almost directly underneath the existing line. He repeated his request that Potomac Edison be allowed to shift the line to clear the dwellings and lots. “As long as you stay within your existing right-of-way,” George Muth answered. ‘‘Or negotiate with the property owners,” Gardiner added. Nichols explained that the utility wants to move the line a couple thousand feet to the rear of residential development on Routes 671 and 651. “Engineering wise, we can find a much better way to get through there,” he said. ‘‘I think the property owners would appreciate it,” Estes agreed. Possible Litigation Supervisor chairman E. P. Luke, the only audience for the BZA meeting, interjected that moving the power line will give Potomac Edison another set of property owners to deal with. “I can see the possibility of litigation,” he warned. First, PE’s engineers will have to survey to find the best route for the rebuilt line before contacting landowners to see what they will sell the additional right-of-way for, Nichols responded. “I wish there was some way we could give tentative approval,” Estes said. “This thing just hasn’t gelled enough... I like the idea of moving the line. I think it will benefit the community.” After discussion on wording, the BZA voted unanimously to approve Potomac Edison’s special use permit application to rebuild the power line at higher voltage on the utility's existing right-of-way. The board agreed that any deviation from that right-ofway will require acquisition of additional land from the affected property owners. “Then I can bring back a plat of any new location for another public hearing after the additional right-of-way is secured,” Nichols noted. In accordance with the BZA’s decision, commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner will be asked to draw up the special use permit which, at Estes’ suggestion, will also specify the design of the new line. In other action, the BZA voted unanimously to: —issue a special use permit to Eleanor Atkins to operate a beauty shop in her Amissville home, —extend a trailer permit by six months for David and Stephen Poliak who are constructing two houses in Complete IJ. One-Step BUILDINGJ SUPPLY • Paint • Lumber' • Millwork • Hardware Warrantor! Building Material Co., Inc. on tha By-Pats Warrantor 347-1400 Hampton District on Route 622, —extend a trailer permit by six months for John V. Baldwin on Route 637 near Amissville in Jackson District. Mrs. Baldwin assured the BZA members that she, her husband and her mother are the only persons living in the trailer. According to Mrs. Baldwin, no one is living in the 24foot-by-24-foot storage building already completed. This structure will eventually be a part of and attached to their house when it is finished. In approving the six months extension, the BZA overruled the recommendation from zoning administrator Evan McNear that the request be denied. Gospel Singing The Rev. Edward.

Davis St., Culpeper Phone 825-1885 Trustees Act After 9 Months (Continued from P*ge ^ de'~5L« to act again on the appointments of Eastham and Eldred following a meeting on Monday with commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner. Baumgardner had also met earlier with the trustees and at their request, asked for the second opinion from the Attorney General. Not Informed Contacted on Tuesday, Baumgardner said he was unaware that a referendum on the method of selecting school board members had been called for by circuit court judge Shore Robertson. The commonwealth attorney, who was out of the county for several days last week, said he’d received no notice of the order signed last Thursday by Robertson, setting the referendum for June 17. Baumgardner added that, to his knowledge, the electoral trustees were also unaware of the June 17 vote on whether to change the method of appointing school board members to election by the board of supervisors. According to Sharon Geneback Luke, Washington lawyer representing a group of concerned parents and citizens who circulated the required petitions for the referendum, the trustees cannot fill the upcoming school board vacancies unless the referendum fails. She explained that the Virginia Code stipulates that vacancies occuring after the referendum passes will be filled by the board of supervisors. The Code also allows the trustees to meet as early as 60 days prior to the expiration of a school board term in order to act on a vacancy. The opening, however, doesn’t in fact occur until June 30, 1980—13 days after balloting on the referendum. Gj^eal Estate REALTY WORLD. &Uc*n dl. RIALTO* i CONDOMINIUM - COOPERATIVE - 4 THE DIFFERENCE Did you ever wonder about the difference between a condom inum and a cooperative? In a condominium, you get actual title to the space within your unit plus an undivided interest along with other owners to the structure, grounds and common elements (pool, parking area, hallways, recreational area, etc.) In a cooperative, the “co-op” corporation owns everything within the complex including your unit and you get stock in the corporation plus a lease to your unit. In effect, co-ops do not enjoy the same favorable mortgage treatment by banks as you get when you own and have title to your condominium or home. Another difference between having title to your home or apartment, and owning stock in a coop, is that your mortgage taxes and maintenance charges are completely independent from other unit owners and you have no responsibility for your neighbor’s mortgage, taxes or charges if he should default. In a co-op, all the storkholders are responsible if one stockholder defaults on his mortgage, taxes, etc. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M.

Students spending the Easter holidays at home were Louise King, Nancy Moore and Charlotte Coates of Madison College; Louise- Miller of Rollins College; Dave Miller of V.P.I.; Jim Massie, University of Virginia; Carol Settle, University of Maryland; Mary Lea, $tuart Hall, Staunton. LeGarde’s Job Reconfirmed In a telephone interview with Delegate George Beard on Tuesday, Rappahannock's representative in Virginia’s General Assembly said he’d recently been swamped with calls from people concerned about Health Department district director Dr. R. S. LeGarde being forced into retirement. • “Nothing’s happened to Dr. LeGarde,” Beard emphasized. He blamed the confusion on a letter dated April 1 from Herbert Oglesby, assistant commissioner of the state Health Department. “That letter’s been misinterpreted in all five counties (in LeGarde’s district),” said Beard. After statements of support from local governments and citizens in Madison, Orange, Culpeper, Rappahannock and Fauquier counties. Governor John Dalton personally approved an extension in mandatory retirement age for LeGarde who turns 70 in May. LeGarde was to stay on until June 30 at full status and until December 31 in an advisory capacity. If an adequate replacement acceptable to all local governf ments in the district wasn’t found, then LeGarde was to remain with the Health Department indefinitely. According to Beard, this arrangement is still in force. The letter from Oglesby read by Beard notes that documentation for LeGarde to retire on June 30, 1980, has been completed. The letter further states that the Health Department has “no latitude...no option” but to require that the director retire. Oglesby reported that the process to select a replacement has been initiated with screening now going on to find the most suitable candidate for the job. Once LeGarde's replacement is chosen, then the individual will be taken to meet all local governing bodies in the district, Oglesby said in the letter, with the localities to be heard before, any final action is taken on employment. Okay From Localities Therefore, Delegate Beard explained, LeGarde can continue indefinitely if the local boards of supervisors don’t okay his proposed replacement. Oglesby’s letter also notes that LeGarde will continue to assist in providing services from the Health Department on at least a part-time basis for several months after his retirement date. After that time and until a permanent replacement is hired, the department’s regional director will be named interum district director for the five-county area, according to the letter. In addition, Oglesby wrote, LeGarde will be paid at an hourly rate after his official retirement date. On behalf of the counties he represents. Beard said he met with first the Governor and then the state director of personnel during the General Assembly session in attempting to get an extension in retirement age for Dr. LeGarde. “I spent a month on this,” said Beard. He reported that personnel head Ken Yancy had informed him of legislation passed by the General Assembly in 1977 changing the Code of Virginia to allow state employees to stay on past retirement age of 70 with salary paid at an hourly rate. Then, said Beard, he met with Dr. Kenley, state Health Department commissioner. After being reminded of the legislative change. Dr. Kenley immediately agreed to LeGarde's staying on as district director until a replacement acceptable to the five local governments is found. “Nothing has happened to change that,” Beard concluded.

Ski Area For Sale Plans to open the Rappahannock ski area in Harris Hollow as a private club have been abandoned. According to Eric E. Adamson, general partner in Rapp-Ski Limited Partnership, interest from skiers has not been sufficient to justify the expense of improvements to the ski area. "It is with much regret that I must report that our subscriptions for the club concept at Rappahannock no where near fulfilled the numbers that would have been needed to proceed with the investment of close to $1,000,000,” Adamson said. Under the club plan, the ski area would have been open on weekends and holidays to members and guests only and to the general public on weekdays. Adamson reported that the ski area is once again up for sale. Ski lifts are scheduled to be removed in two to three weeks. Plan Review Completed =Letters= Responsible To The People All the members of the Rappahannock planning commission were on hand Monday night along with John Capelle, executive director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission, for the last of the community meetings on the county’s first comprehensive plan. Although scheduled at the last minute, the Antissville meeting drew the largest audience, 13 area residents, of the six sessions. Capelle estimated that approximately 50 total attended the series which was designed to solicit opinions on the draft plan from local citizens. Following a review of the plan by Capelle and suggestions from the audience, the planners voted unanimously to advertise the comprehensive plan for a county-wide public hearing on Thursday. May 1, at 7:30 p.m. in the court house in Washington. Following this hearing by the planners, the document will be forwarded to the board of supervisors for a second hearing and adoption. In comments made at the Amissville meeting, Capt. Luther Stuart asked why the plan made no mention of a water and sewer study on Rappahannock completed about 12 years ago. E. P. Luke answered that the Martin-Clifford study advocated a strip development plan with sewer lines following major roads. In area hearings on the plan, no one from Rappahannock spoke in favor of its proposed county-wide sewer system, according to Luke. Implementation would be difficult today, Luke said, noting that at one time, sewer systems were funded with 90 per cent state and federal money. “Now, the state’s not putting up its share,” said Luke, “and we’re back to 75 per cent federal and 25 per cent local.” He repeated an assertion made at previous meetings that some thought should be / Crusade In cooperation with the area wide Follow Christ Crusade the Forest Grove Baptist Church, Viewtown will be holding revival services April 27-May 1, each evening at 8 p.m. The Rev. Bobby Rooper, pastor of the Woodville Baptist Church, will be the guest speaker. Mrs. Gary F. Bailey, pianist and organist, is planning special music each evening. The public is invited to attend these services. given to a possible location for a sewage plant for the town of Washington. “The same way with Chester Gap,” he added. But a county-wide system running from Chester Gap to Washington to Sperryville would be impractical, Luke maintained. "Rates would be so high that local people couldn’t afford them." In a final remark, Luke criticized the position of Virginia’s Health Department and State Water Control Board on waste disposal. Outhouses, septic fields and standard sewage plants with secondary or tertiary treatment are the only systems permitted here, he said. No new technology on methods of sewage disposal is allowed in the state, Luke complained. Ordinances Unchanged Stuart asked if smaller lot sizes will be permitted in the village areas to accomplish the plan’s goal of steering growth in that direction. Newbill Miller replied that the comprehensive plan will not change the county’s subdivision ordinance. The ordinance currently allows lots below five acres only with public water and sewer. Stuart and Paul Poling offered a few corrections of minor mistakes in the plan's section on Amissville. The community has four churches, not two as stated in the narrative or three as shown on the map of the study area, it has two general stores and is located 12 miles, not seven, west of Warrenton. Poling asked if the county’s fire and rescue association will have an opportunity for additional input into the plan. “Right up to the time it’s adopted by the board of supervisors,” Miller answered. Luke interjected that he will soon schedule a meeting between the supervisors and officers of the fire and rescue association to discuss financial problems facing the county’s fire and rescue companies. The planners were asked if anything is going to be done in preparation for the time when the privately owned landfill in Woodville can no longer be used for disposal of trash from the dumpsters. It is estimated that the property currently leased by Community Trash Service has only two to three years of use left. “Something’s planned to be planned,” replied Dave Fannon. Walter Masterson added that the planning commission has already looked at soil maps to find locations suitable for landfill sites and has talked to two landowners. Masterson noted that a strip of suitable property runs through the county from Wakefield Manor down towards Castleton. “Col. (John) Lyle’s area is one of the areas involved,” he noted. Luke added that another potential landfill site is located on Route 522 towards Culpeper. When there were no further comments from the audience, Newbill Miller proposed advertising the draft plan with the comments made at the six community meetings and then formalizing the document after the planners’ public hearing. Remarks made at other sessions included: —Flint Hill—(1) Change in wording proposed by Phil Irwin for goals on employment-economic development to make it clear that the plan doesn’t suggest a commissioned be founded to recruit industrial development. (2) A second change in wording on. goals in the section on natural resources to clear up any possible confusion on private property rights, also proposed by Irwin (3) Suggestions from Charles Manson to describe fire and rescue coverage as marginal rather than excellent and the addition of fire and rescue to the county's capital improvement planning process. — Sperryville—General objection that the residential development goal on controlling the development and location of recreational home, second home, or retirement home activities discourages senior citizens from locating in the county. — Woodville—(1) Suggestion from Howard Holschuh that the planning commission clarify the role of senior citizens (2) Proposal from Helen Holschuh that recreation and park facilities, specifically the acquisition of preperty on Red Oak Mountain and the use of Scenic Rivers legislation, have a greater role in the plan. Before closing the Amissville meeting, Miller again complimented Capelle for efforts on the comprehensive plan. “His board of directors gave him an out,” said Miller, noting that Capelle had been told he needn’t develop Rappahannock’s plan if his work load was too heavy. “He’s worked over time to get this done. We certainly appreciate it,” Miller concluded. Copies of the plan are available for review at the clerk’s office in Washington.—D.H. To the editor: “Shall the present method of selecting the members of the county school board be changed from appointment by the School Trustee Election Board to appointment by the governing body of the County? Yes No." Thus will the ballot appear for the special election on June 17, 1980, ordered by Judge VV. Shore Robertson on April 10 in Warrenton, concerning the school board of Rappahannock County. This election date, satisfying a 60 day provision in the law, will occur prior to the expiration of the terms of two school board members and if the referendum affirms the question, the change will permit the County Board of Supervisors to fill those vacancies. Everyone interested in seeing the issue voted for on June 17 must take a personal interest in working for it. If the question is not affirmed,, a similar referendum cannot occur for another four years. Many may wonder why this election has been ordered. The answer is a simple one: some parents of school children, some school employees and some citizens at large in the community feel that the policies and actions of the current school board are failing to meet school needs. These individuals circulated petitions, as provided by law, to request a referendum and more than the required number of signatures of voters was very quickly collected. When one examines how school board members are chosen, it is clear that the politics of official selection is not in any way representative of the people and their feelings about the schools. Selection of school board members (5 in number) by a school trustee election board (3 in number) appointed by a judge (1) who is himself an appointee of the state legislature, is a system calculated to remove as far as possible the school board from the people it serves. This theory and practice of government is a remnant of colonial times, and because it, was found wanting in many communities, the state legislature has provided for election of school board members by the county board of supervisors if the citizens so desire. Those supporting this change believe the following: (1) Supervisors, being elected representatives, are likely to listen to public sentiments when they elect members to the school board. They can be held accountable when up for election if they do not. (2) Supervisors, who are responsible for tax levies and appropriations which fund the schools, should have a closer relationship to the school board which oversees school affairs, makes school policies and recommends school budgets. (3) Since more than 50 percent of school funds are state and federal tax monies citizens have contributed, over and above local levies, some accountable elected representatives should be answerable to citizens for the expenditure of these monies. Politics is the exercise of power and the relationship of that exercise among the people - those who act and those who feel the consequences of action. In a society where representative government is a tradition, to make the politics of the schools the business and prerogative of only a few is unacceptable. Once the board of supervisors is responsible for appointing school board members, elections for membership on the board will become more interesting and meaningful than they have' been in the past, and citizen participation in public affairs should increase. A vote for the referendum question on June 17 is a vote to bring the governance of the schools closer to the community the schools serve. DIANA W. BIRD Accurate To the editor: I’d like to compliment your reporter, Daphne Hutchinson, on the accurate and comprehensive report of events at the alcohol seminar which was conducted recently at Graves Mountain Lodge. I wasn’t there, but I have been engaged actively for several years in helping to assist the re-birth of this useful techonology. So I know the story by heart. For the farm community, especially, home produced fuel alcohol will reduce energy costs dramatically — perhaps meaning salvation for many farmers who can no longer cope with the rising cost of petroleum—the source of about 90 percent of farm energy supply. Congratulations, also, to the Rappahannock News for rightly estimating the value of Mrs. Hutchinson’s alcohol story. I trust it will be updated at periodic intern Is. RICHARD F.

Trees For Fund Raising The Nation*! Arbor Day Foundation is now making it possible for organizations to sell trees as a fund-raising project. Clubs, churches and other organizations can sell trees in their community to raise money for activities and the Foundation will mail the trees directly to the customers' homes. The local sponsoring organization never has to handle the trees, according to the Foundation. The Arbor Day Foundation, a nonprofit organization, is working to improve the quality of life in communities throughout the country by encouraging tree planting. Red Maple, Sugar Maple, Redbud, Weeping Willow, Tulip Tree and White Flowering Dogwood trees are sold for S3.50, including a profit of $1.25 per tree for the local sponsoring organization. The trees are four to six feet tall and come with complete planting instructions. They are delivered at an appropriate time for planting. The Foundation says that for best results, trees should be sold from August 15 to October 31 for fall delivery. Organizations are encouraged to contact the Foundation now to obtain information in time to lay plans for a tree sale program for the fall. Free sales literature and order forms may be obtained by calling (402) 474-5655 or writing the National Arbor Day Foundation, Arbor Lodge 100, Nebraska City, NE 68410.

The ball in the air above Meyers’ head reached the pitcher’s glove after the Panther star flashed across the plate to score. Panthers Lose In Eighth Inning Last Friday, Rappahannock's varsity Panthers challenged the Luray Bulldogs in a hard fought home game. The Panthers held the Bulldogs even for the regulation seven innings before being edged out in the eighth, 3 to 2. The Panthers managed four hits with Gary Leake and Doug Nichols each connecting for a double while Tony Armentrout and Larry Settle both had a single. Leake had a great day on the pitcher’s mound, allowing only two hits. He was credited with four strikeouts. At the end of seven innings, the score was tied at two all. Luray attempted a squeeze play in the extra inning with the batter bunting while the man on third tried for home. The first try failed but the Bulldogs hung on and squeezed again, scoring a run and ending the game. “I was outcoached by Luray,” Jim Logan acknowledged, shouldering the blame for the loss.

The Panthers drew first blood in the second inning with two runs and then blasted away in the third with nine to lead 11 to 0. The Blue Devils finally scored in the fifth to prevent a runaway and keep the score semi-respectable at 11-4. Mike Leake was credited with the win after pitching the first four innings before Mike Brown was put in as substitute. Then on Friday, the JV capped the home opener with a win on the road, 10 to 6, over the Luray Bulldogs. The Panthers quickly scored two runs in the first inning and broke the game open again in the third, sending eight batters around the bases and across home plate. Rappahannock shut down rallys by the Bulldogs in the second and fourth to protect their lead. Mike Leake got his second win before being replaced on the mound by Mike Brown. Early Dismissal Classes in Rappahannock public schools will be dismissed at 2 p.m. on Friday, April 18. The visiting state evaluation team on high school accreditation will give its final report to the faculty at that time. Girls Topple Records After several cancellations due to rain, the girls junior varsity track team finally got to their first meet last Thursday at Stonewall Jackson for a three-school contest with Central. The Lady Panthers lost but placed well individually. Two school records fell. The first was toppled by Melissa Turner who threw the shot put 31’6”. The second record of the dav went down to Patricia Scott’s smooth run in the 880. She finished in 2:52, lowering the old school mark by two seconds. In the long jump, Patricia Knight came in first, Donna Knight third and Lynn Jones fourth. Marie Davis won the discus throw for Rappahannock’s JV girls. Annie Tupper came in second in the 100 yard dash, trailing the winner by only a fraction of a second. In the 440, Joan Facchina placed third. Tupper ended the day for Rappahannock on a high note, crossing the line first in the 220 yard dash. Final scores were Stonewall 64, Central 46 and Rappahannock 34. Named To Dean’s List Kenneth A.

' Assistant superintendent Rob McDaniel maintained that the certificate will en» courage older retarded students who don’t want td leave school until they earn $ diploma of some type. Thesi students, he said, aren’f eligible for vocational rehabilitation services while still in high school although they can remain enrolled until age 21. “What’s the average IQ of these students?” asked Eastham. “I would guess about 60 but it could range as high as 70,” McDaniel replied. “Wi; have students in regular programs with IQs as low as 75,” he reported. In addition to receiving achievement certificate!) EMR students will be assigned to high school homerooms in the future based on their age level. “All EMR students are now in eighth grade homeroom)* whether they’re 13 or 18'’ McDaniel said. Following the open meeting, the board recessed into executive session. After returning to open session at 12:20, the board voted unanimously to: —approve a parent’s request to allow a student to discontinue high school, —approved the .list of personnel as submitted by the superintendent, —reaffirmed “a previous board decision.” The board also agreed to allow teachers 10 days after the salary scale is approved by the supervisors to accept or reject in writing contracts for the coming year.—D.H.
