Board Finds “Excess”Space Half-Day Kindergarten, P artitions Considered By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer According to a space study report submitted to the school board last Wednesday, Rappahannock County High School has 43 per cent excess space over and above the guidelines from the state on minimum square footage per pupil. Based on the figures presented by Allen Stokes and Robert Eastham working in conjunction with Walter Masterson, the elementary school is even more underutilized with 69 per cent excess room compared to state guidelines. Zoning Board Delays Action On Campground Request By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Faced with knotty legal issues and a packed court house last Thursday, the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeal* delayed action until May 22 on the variance request from Nationwide Pentacostal Evangelical Association for a church campground. Supporters of the ■N.P.E.A:’4 application for “camper hook-ups for those who come to worship” at the organization’s annual 10 day camp meeting in June outnumbered opponents, judging by a show of hands requested by BZA chairman Josef Gardiner. Led by Pentacostal pastors from local, out-of-county and outof-state churches, proponents with infants and toddlers in tow faced neighbors angered by the shouting and singing that went on until after midnight at last year’s camp meeting. Beginning at 9 a.m., speaker after speaker testified with the preachers all adding short sermons, dragging the meeting out past a two hour lunch recess until late afternoon. Rev. L. D. Savage, chief spokesman for the N.P.E.A., told the board members that the application covered only camping at the annual meeting that begins on June 20 of every year. He noted that the health department gave approval last year for a dumping station and SO camper hook-ups, the site currently has 13 installed, he said. "So you already have a trailer park now,” remarked BZA member Pete Estes. Savage explained that he was unaware last year that Tennis Plans Underway The Rappahannock Recreation Association will sponsor a mixed doubles tennis tournament on Saturday and Sunday, May 24 and 25. The tournament is open to all county residents and landowners. All participants must be available for play on May 24 *and 25 (as well as Monday, May 26, in case of rain). Entry fees are $3 per person and deadline for registration and payment is Tuesday, May 20. To register, contact Diane Bruce on weekdays at 675-3621 or Jean Lillard on weekends and evenings at 675-3661. Each doubles team must supply one can of new tennis balls. Watch next week’s Rappahannock News for information on the Recreation Association’s men and women’s doubles tournament. X the N.P.E.A.’s plans required a special use permit. He said he’d applied for and been granted a building permit for a church last year by zoning administrator Evan McNear. Then later, Savage said, "Col. McNear came by and told us that the best thing to do was apply for a special use permit." Estes asked if the N.P.E.A. proposed to install more camper hook-ups than the 13 already in place. "We’re not asking for any more,” Savage replied. “I’d say we’re asking for 50,” he added when questioned further. According to Savage, he explained to Col. McNear that the building permit was for camp meeting facilities where there would be “people coming and staying for the duration of the meeting, some leaving the next day.” He acknowledged that the building permit made no mention of a campground—just the three buildings planned for construction (tabernacle, bath house and pavillion). He said the property had been purchased from Oscar Lindgren with title now held by the N.P.E.A. Admiral Gardiner noted that there is some question regarding the zoning on the property, whether it is residential subdivision or agicultural. A check of the supervisor records during the lunch recess showed the property was rezoned to residential subdivision on June 3, 1976. Commonwealth attorney Douglas Baumgardener explained that a residential subdivision zone doesn’t allow for special uses and so the campground application must be considered as a request for a variance to the county’s zoning ordinance. “With a variance, you have to meet the burden of proof to show undue hardship,” he reported. Before hearing testimony, Admiral Gardiner asked for a show of hands on the issue before the BZA. About 60 persons—37 of them Woman’s Club To Meet The Rappihannock Woman’s Club will hold its monthly meeting Tuesday, May 27 at 8 p.m. at the home of Karen Bear in Washington. Phyllis Irwin will be guest speaker and will present a program on antique dolls. Recently elected officers are: Vicki Eastham, president; Mary Schumaker, vice-president; Linda McDaniel, recording secretary; Dawn Fisher, corresponding secretary and Virginia Cloud, treasurer. residents or property owners in Rappahannock—indicated they were in favor of the variance. Approximately 25 individuals—al residents or property owners—raised their hands against the variance. County’s Heritage Leading off the speakers in favor, Rev. L. D. Savage described camp meetings as “part of the heritage of our country “that were begun by the Methodists in the 1800’s. N.P.E.A.’s gathering is held ten days every years beginning on June 20 with a one-day meeting on the second Saturday in September. In addition, he said, the local Pentacostal Church holds a Labor Day picnic on the grounds. The campground is not open to the public but is restricted to church use with no charge to campers, according to Savage. "You don’t take up a collection?” asked Gardiner. Savage replied that a collection was taken as part of the services. Estes asked if the group was a nationally recognized organization. "If ^n individual came in here and did this, before you know it, we’d have another Jim Jones situation,” Estes said, emphasizing that he wanted to hear from Savage himself that N.P.E.A. was a legitimate religious group. Savage told the BZA that the Pentacostal movement began in the 1900’s and now numbered three million followers. “Much of our techings is from the old-time Methodists," he said. “It s not an individual dictatorship. We’re not a Jim Jones cult,” Savage said, noting that the county has five Pentacostal churches. Participants in the camp meeting come together from churches in Virginia and other states once a year for fellowship and worship, he added. Contributions at the camp meeting go “to pay the night’s speaker and other incidental expenses of the camp meeting itself,” Savage reported, adding that the camp site and buildings were paid for with local contributions. Although acknowledging that the campmeeting was open to Pentacostal followers from anywhere in the country. Savage said the “bulk of support and attendance comes from a radius of 100 miles." “What is this ‘Association’?” asked Herbert Barksdale. Savage explained that the National Pentacostal Evangelical Association included ministers and congregation joined together, particulary for the camp meeting. Sevan States “How many states does it cover,” asked Jem Massie. Savage answered that participants included congregations and ministers from Maryland, Virginia, Arkansas, South Carolina, North Carolina, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. “Is your pl%n eventually to go nationwide?’’ Gardiner inquired. “We’re open to all with precious faith,” Savage replied. He added that the N.P.E.A. may stay its current , size or may grow, depending on whether additional ministers wanted to join the group. He acknowledged that the N.P.E.A. had no other campgrounds similar to the Route 622 site. “There’s something lacking in this—a lot of background information that I haven’t seen,” remarked Kermit Weakly. “How did we get this far?” he asked. Gardiner explained that a building permit was issued to N.P.E.A. last year for three structures but with no mention of any campground. “The camping facilities are completely illegal at this moment,” he stated. Following numerous protests from neighbors during last year’s camp meeting about loud speakers that blared well into midnight, Gardiner said, the N.P.E.A. was now before the board to ask for permission in retrospect. With only 13 camper hookups, how is a decision reached on who gets to use them? Weakley asked. "We have certain rules. Those camping, must attend the services,” Savage ex plained. In addition, there s no smoking or drinking and everyone must remain orderly, he said. Attendance is open to all persons who agree to abide by the rules, not just to Pentacostal church members, according to Savage. “If you should have a riot down there, you’d expect the local sheriffs department or the state police to handle it,” Gardiner commented. Noting that as many as 400 persons attended on a single night last year, Savage stressed that his group had never in the past encountered a problem with anyone being (Continued on Page 2) Day Camp Volunteers Volunteers are still needed for this summer’s day camp at the Hazel River campground in Boston sponsored by the Extension Office.

Speaking on behalf of the committee, Eastham acknowledged that there is over-crowding in spots at both schools but claimed space needs could be met by proper scheduling. After a presentation from a Reston architectural firm and lengthy discussion marked by repeated interruptions from Eastham, the board, in a split vote, directed superintendent William Bloomer to develop a plan for dividing elementary classrooms with room dividers and-or changing to three-hour kindergarten classes. Bloomer was ordered to have the plan ready by the May 13 board meeting. In addition, the superintendent was also told to withdraw the supplemental budget request for a double modular unit from the proposed 1980-81 budget school budget currently before the supervisors. Eastham reported that he, Stokes and Masterson had visited both schools last week to determine space needs and maintenance status. Under maintenance, the committee gave roof repairs top priority. For the elementary school, Eastham further recommended an inspection of the electrical system, erection of guard rails on ramps to the modular units, elimination of drafts from windows on the north side of the school and added insulation throughout the building. At the high school, needs cited by Eastham in addition to roof repairs included insulation, window caulking to remove drafts, rails for modular ramps and replacement of floor tiles in the bathrooms. In addition, he recommended that damaged heaters in the trailers be repaired immediately. Eastham also noted that he found the gymnasium fire exit chained Film Showing Cub Scout Pack 123 of Washington is sponsoring a Walt Disney moVie, “The Hound Who Thought He Was A Raccoon”, plus a cartoon on Sunday, May 18 at 2:30 p.m. at Rappahannock Elementary School.

In the committee report, he concluded that custodial duties at RCHS are not being carried out properly and stated that the administration should be held accountable for the shortcomings of the maintenance program at both schools. Extra Space? Dividing the total “interior, usable classroom space” by the high school’s enrollment, Eastham figured that RCHS currently provides 26.35 square feet of space per pupil. This figure is 11.35 square feet per pupil "in excess of the minimum,” he noted, citing state guidelines that recommended just 15 square feet per child. Eastham said he’d been in contact with state officials and had been told that most school divisions try three lunch periods spread over an hour and 15 minutes before even considering cafeteria expansion. RCHS currently has only two shifts, he noted. Eastham acknowledged the library only as needing more floor space. Under state guidelines on feet per pupil, the RCHS library falls short by approximately 300 square feet, he said. Addressing requests for additional storage, he maintained that space needs in this category^ could be satisfied by adding room for audio-visual equipment when the library addition is built. Without referring to any specific data, Eastham maintained that Rappahannock’s public schools have shown a “steadily declining’’ enrollment. “Anyone can make a personal prediction,’’ he said. Eastham insisted that the school board should make decisions on capital outlay based on a stabilized, rather than growing, school population. Primarily, the board should focus on more efficient use of existing space, he said. The elementary school’s need for a modular unit to house students returning from Piedmont regional school next year can be eliminated with more efficient utilization of space, according to EasthamT Hp proposed dividing classMOms currently assigned to special education of the mentally retarded. Contrary to in formation received earlier, he said, the state has no prohibition against dividing classrooms. In fact, Eastham claimed, state department officials encourage the more efficient use of existing space as an alternative to new construction. If room dividers don’t prove feasible, he continued, the elementary school can switch from full-day kindergarten to two three-hour shifts in order to free space. Eastham asked the school board for a resolution directing the superintendent to prepare a plan implementing one or both of the space alternatives presented by the committee and to withdraw the appropriation for a double modular unit. Both Charles Eldred and chairman Beverly Massie, the two school board members not involved in the space study, asked for time to read and study the suggested resolutions before voting. Architect’s Proposal Bruce Drenning, a city planner with KamstraDickerson Associates architectural firm in Reston, presented the board with proposals covering the concerns that Eastham, Stokes and Masterson had relayed to his company. The cost of the total package was released, only to the school , board members, not to the public. Drenning described the capital outlay planning process as beginning with educational philosophy, then progressing to curriculum offerings and finally to space needs. The school board, school staff and the community must all participate in this process, he said, in order to avoid friction and achieve desired goals and objectives. Drenning said that his firm includes planners with expertise in developing population and enrollment projections, architects and educational consultants. The package proposal for Rappahannock covered educational program, facilities planning energy analysis and roofing analysis. The only cost figure cited was $7,000 for the educational component. Drenning said the planning process followed by KDA was designed to present information in a well summarized, concise form. “It’s all geared toward coming up with alternatives for the school board ...reasonable c.hoices and the information to back them up so that you are the decision makers,” Drenning told the board. An analysis of the educational program will take 15 to 20 days of the educational consultant’s time and can be completed by July or August, he continued, noting that this portion should be started before the close of school while the instructional staff is still available. Facilities planning will include analysis of space in existing buildings, proposed modifications with diagramatic plans and cost estimates and an assessment of the county’s fiscal resources, according to Drenning. Energy Analysis and proposals for solving roof problems will be done by (Continued on Page 4) Castleton VFD Fund Drive Members of the Castleton Community Volunteer Fire Company will be visiting homes on Saturday, May 31 -to-fcick off their annual prize contest and fund drive.

Campground Legal Issues (Continued from Page 1) disorderly at a church camp meeting. Saved From Hell Edward Jenkins, pastor of the Gid Brown Hollow Pentacostal church complimented “Brother Savage” on the help he provided to others. “He’s trying to save people from going to hell...Our young generation coming up now needs help. They need to know God...People who are damning the young people, trying to stop this, they’re the ones you should keep out,” he told the BZA. “I believe the Lord’s soon coming...Then we ain’t gonna need the campground. We ain’t gonna need nothin’,” Rev. Jenkins concluded. Kathy Whorton of Amissville supported granting the variance on the basis of “our freedom as Americans to worship.” “If there’s a little excessive noise, it’s far outweighed by the work Rev. Savage's endeavoring to do.” said Rev. Ray Campbell, pastor of the Sperryville Assembly of God Church. First quoting the Bible, Campbell maintained that if the camp meeting “will save one soul, it’s worth more than all the world.” “1 believe a man knows when he's saved...If he's not saved, he’s lost. If he’s not saved, he can’t enter the Kingdom of God...I would not want to be a party to a group that’s trying to stop a man from saving souls,” Campbell concluded. “We don’t have time to hear every minister here preach a service in our behalf,” interrupted chairman Gardiner, acknowledging that the BZA members did appreciate the effort. “I counted nine or ten ministers and if each one preaches an hour, we’re going to be here a long time.” "It’s hard for a preacher to testify without preaching,” countered Rev. Campbell with a wide smile. Rev.

He maintained that the First Amendment accords the right to preach the gospel in every hamlet, city and town and insisted that denial of the variance request would be an infringement of religious liberty. Carnival Worldllneas Powers said he was sure most of the people objecting to the noise from the camp meeting also attended the far noisier Amissville volunteer firemen’s carnival with its "drinking parties and worldliness.” He charged that the noise objectors who “find faqlt with worshipping God certainly must be on the other side.” Asking for a show of hands from those people who live within hearing distance of the camp grounds. Powers facetiously stated that he was sure “they don’t have loud music, rock and roll, parties and dancing." "Everyone who doesn’t belong to the Pentacostal Church is not going to hell,” Admiral Gardiner interjected. "It’s not your perogative to judge tne motives (of those opposed to the variance request),” he said. “Why does it annoy them to hear praise for God?” asked Powers, when the same people have no objections to the Amissville carnival? ‘‘They’re saving houses from burning,” Gardiner said. "We’re saving souls from burning," Powers countered, adding that it appeared county government had closed Rappahannock. “I think you’re being over zealous when you impugne the intergrity of this board," Gardiner replied. “You have no right or license to question the dictates of our hearts at this meeting.

Powers, pastor of a Pentacostal church in Maryland, stated that the goal of the N.P.E.A. is to help, not to disturb or hurt anyone. "All of us have the right and should be spreading the Gospel of Christ,” he stated said. "I don’t think Rev. Savage mentioned the 400 signatures of Rappahannock County citizens who are for this," Powers added, noting that petitions had been signed in local churches. Rev. E. Wayne Powers added that N.P.E.A. had tried to direct the sound speakers at the camp meeting out toward open country and woodland in order to temper the music. Earplug* Suggested Rev. Wayne Simmons suggested that those bothered by the noise could “buy earplugs" to use for the nine or ten days that the camp meeting is in progress. Stating that he “got into Christianity after he got out of the service,” a Pentacostal pastor from Hamilton noted that the campground’s septic system already approved by the health department is well able to take care of 50 trailers.

Thursday, May 15,1980 Campground Raises Legal Issues (Continued from Page 2) vehicles that use the site, that some can pull in and use the dumping station and then park somewhere else on the nine-acre lot. Margaret Whorton, wife of an evangelist, told the BZA that preaching and singing from the old camp meeting grounds on the Waterloo Road near Amissville used to be heard clearly two miles away. Services at the Route 622 location aren't audible at the Pentacostal church less than a mile down the road, she said. “I think that shows our willingness to cooperate with our neighbors." Mrs. Doris Donal, first speaker for the opponets, read from an article appearing in the April 21 Washington Post reporting on a denial of an application from the Unification Church for a campground. She followed it up with a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Oren Bruton who live on Route 622, a mile from the N.P.E.A. camp. The Brutons proposed that the pavillion be enclosed and insulated to remove a “public nuisance from a quiet, residential community” and that trailer hook-ups be disallowed. Without these restrictions, they wrote, land values in the area will deteriorate. Mrs. Donal maintained that people should have been given the right to voice opposition before the initial approval for the campground was given to N.P.E.A. “The project was well underway before we could find out what was being built,” she said. Admiral Gardiner noted that no approval for the structures on the N.P.E.A. property or for camping facilties had been given by the BZA, that the issue had never before been brought before the BZA. “We were in touch with McNear while this was going on,” Mrs. Donal replied in reference to the zoning administrator. “McNear is not a member of this board,” stated Gardiner. Restrictions Proposed Mrs. Donal proposed that permission for the camp meeting be limited to just ten days per year with no loud speakers allowed for the services. In addition, she suggested that (1) the property be fenced to keep vehicles and participants inside (2) the pavillion be enclosed with air conditioning installed for venilation (3) trees be planted to shield the property (4) deflectors be installed on outside lights and (5) the variance for camping facilities be denied. "What I’m opposed to is the terrible noise,” said Charles C. Thompson who lives .2 miles from the property. Noting the N.P.E.A. plans for growth, Thompson asked “what happens when people come here from all over the state?”, citing the detrimental effect the influx will have on local property values. Several times during the testimony from opponents, Rev. James Powers tossed in comments from his seat on a bench near the BZA table. "You’ve had your chance to testify," Admiral Gardiner warned the pastor, requesting silence. “If you can’t comply. I’ll have to ask the sheriff to eject you.” Thompson continued that he was a shift worker and often had to sleep during the day when camp services were being conducted. He concluded that he’d moved to Rappahannock County because he wanted peace and quiet. Representing the local Izaak Walton League, Bob Dennis described the N.P.E.A. permit application as “vague and inexact.” While supporting a properly located, operated and supervised church camp in accord with the county’s zoning ordinance, Dennis questioned the right of the campground to operate in ways that disturb neighboring property owners and requested that the variance be denied. Norma Langbein stated her objections to the camp ground, adding that she sympathized with the members of the church whose leaders didn’t inform them properly regarding what was legal under Rappahannock’s zoning ordinance. “Not one of us want to take away your church,” she stated, adding that she felt better knowing that N.P.E.A. was a legitimate church and not some type of cult. Her offer to play a tape recording of the camp meeting services made at 11 p.m. was accepted by the BZA. “You have a volume control on that,” interjected Rev. Savage. “I wish I could turn it up to full volume. I wish you could hear! You know this isn’t as amplified as it was,” she told Savage. "It sounds like the American-Embassy in Iran," commented Admiral Gardiner after listening for a few minutes. Property Rights James A. Grigsby, landowner across the street from the N.P.E.A. lot, said he is a plumbing foreman who often has to leave for work at 5 a.m. “Many a night (during last year’s camp meeting) I couldn’t sleep. Every body has rights. Where are my rights?” he asked. He cited near accidents from heavy traffic unfamiliar with the road, erosion at the site, lights shining directly at his house, litter blown on his property and trespassers who refused to abide by posted signs as further reasons for denying the variance request. Lloyd Grigsby, property owner who plans on building a home 200 yards from the camp site, expressed concern over the sewer system installed just 100 yards from the springs that feed his recreational pond. "I don’t like the idea of a cess pool draining into the springs that feed my pond...They have religious rights but property owners and taxpayers have rights too.” Grigsby maintained that the camp ground will adversely affect property values in the nieghborhood. "I’m not opposed to saving souls but I'm not sure a soul can be saved in ten days at a camp meeting if it can’t be saved during the balance of the year in church,” he concluded.

HAITpl at OUT-WITTING HUMAN NATURE An escrow account is, normally, money which is held by a third party to pay off a future debt. When you make your monthly mortgage payment, you are probably paying money into an escrow account over and above the loan installment for hazard insurance and property taxes. In one way, the escrow account helps you out-wit human nature. It is said that the first thing that feta cut when the budget has to be balanced is the monthly savings deposit, which normally would be used to pay taxes and insurance. Here's how your escrow t account b set up. At the beginning ’ of each year, your account is reviewed and your costs are estimated for the next year. The total is divided by 12 to get the monthly payment. This payment could increase for one or a combination of three main reasons: 1) Your tax rate or premium rate has increased; 2) Your assessed valuation has increased; 3) Additional funds are needed to make up a deficit in your escrow account.

We're here to help. to his home, a road now used as an entrance to the campground. He asked if the church group plans to pay for maintenance of the private road once it’s used by trucks, campers and vacation homes. “I’m very concerned about the campground,’’ stated Mrs. Nicholas Bischoff, noting that she’d previously been told that she couldn’t operate a tennis camp for underprivileged children in the same area. John Schaefer, who lives a quarter mile away, said he objected to the noise, “to the oral pollution’’ from the camp meeting. He added that he also objected to the visual pollution, describing the site as a big, ugly parking lot development with a bad erosion problem.” James Prudhum, who’s home is located just a tenth of a mile from the site, added his opposition to granting the variance on the grounds that the camp will adversely affect property values and create a disturbance with excessive noise from the camp meetings. “Consider our rights as well as the rights of those who are trying to worship God,” he asked the BZA. Right Not License David Konick explained the privilege conferred by the First Amendment as "the right to worship God in your own way as long as it’s not interfering with other people’s rights,” not “the right to do anything they want in the name of religion.” "If you want to invoke the Constitution, you should invoke the zoning ordinance as well,” he advised supporters of the variance request. Konick, a Washington attorney, noted that the county’s ordinance doesn’t allow campgrounds in a residential zone. To obtain a variance to this prohibition, he said, the applicant must show a clearly demonstrable hardship. ‘‘All the proponents spoke about the great work Rev. Savage is doing, about American youth being in trouble. No one said a hardship exists...They want a special privilege because they’re serving the Lord,” he maintained. Noting that the property was purchased after the county’s zoning ordinance was adopted, Konick argued that N.P.E.A. had a responsibility to check the rules and regulations the ordinance contained. He presented the BZA with a certificate of fact from the State Corporation Commission, noting that the Nationwide Pentacostal Evangelical Association is not the name of any organization duly registered to do business in Virginia. In addition, he noted, N.P.E.A. is not registered with the county clerk’s office. “It’s also not a church,” Konick maintained. He reported that church organizations owning property in Virginia must by law have title held by trustees. “This property is owned in the name of an association,” he said. In order for donations to be counted as charitable contributions, an organization must have a certificate from the Internal Revenue Service, Konick continued. "I haven’t seen onl in evidence here,” he jjira, noting that N.P.E.A.’s Jiame does not appear on any 'list published by the IRS. He proposed that limitations on lights, noise and hours for conducting services be placed on N.P.E.A. so as not to interfere with rights of neighbors to enjoy their property. No Action Following a two-hour lunch recess, the BZA reconvened with Admiral Gardiner’s announcement that no action will be taken on the variance request until May 22. Gardiner said the board wanted to find a solution acceptable to both sides and also must await legal research from the commonwealth’s attorney. He mentioned the possibility of the property owners applying for a rezoning back to agriculture and then seeking a special use permit rather than a variance. He also noted that the BZA may grant a special temporary permit to allow this year’s camp meeting. “We can put as many restrictions on the permit as we deem necessary,” Gardiner added in assurance to those concerned about noise and lights from the services. He also added that the BZA “may order them to tear it down.” Gardiner blamed “officials of the county” for wrongly granting the original permits. “The camp ground is not legal in that it never came before this board...A campground is not permitted in a residential subdivision. The health man was in error for letting them put the camper hook-ups on,” he added. Gardiner concluded that either side would be free to take the issue to court if not satisfied with the BZA’s decision.

Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, MAY 15,1980 Statistics Lie Statistics can be twisted. The Rappahannock School Board’s space analysis committee of Robert Eastham and Allen Stokes with assistance from Walter Masterson gave a classic example of how to misuse figures to prove a point at last Wednesday’s meeting. According to a committee report presented at that time, the county high school has 43 per cent excess space, based on minimum per pupil guidelines from the state. That may come as something of a surprise to students, teachers, parents, administrators and friends familiar with RCHS. If there’s extra space in that building, someone’s done a superb job of keeping the room hidden. It must rank as the county’s best kept secret. 1 he committee used 15 square feet per pupil, what they say is the minimum state guideline, to reach their conclusion. Dividing the usable, interior classroom space by the school’s average daily membership, they determined that RCHS has available 26.35 square feet per pupil. They compared that amount to the supposed state guideline to determine that the high school has more space right now than the state suggests. When questioned about their conclusion, about the data they used, they stuck to their position, defending the statistics as the gospel according to the space committee. This Tuesday, school board chairman Beverly Massie uncovered the twist in the statistics. From the state’s handbook of construction guidelines, she found the figures used by the space committee as justification for their arguments against the need for expanded facilities. . - The handbook cites 630 square feet;: as the recommended size for s regular classroom serving 40 pupils. Divide the 650 by 40 and we get the magic 15 square feet that the committee maintains is the state recommended per pupO space. Why divide by 40 pupils when state mandate clearly state that 30 students is the maximum allowable class size for 1979-00? In top of that, orders from the Virginia General Assembly bold school’s AVERAGE class size to 25. It’s against the law to cram 40 youngsters into a classroom so why even play around with that figure? It’s an exercise in duplicity. In addition, the section in the handbook mentions only regular classrooms. The shop class, home economics room, science lab with its oversized tables for experiments and resource classes for reading and learning disabilities aren’t regular classrooms and shouldn’t be counted as such. Common sense dictates that more space per pupil will be required in those classrooms due to the extra equipment that crowds the floor. But apparently, the committee was undeterred by common sense and figured those rooms as regular classes. In another astounding move, the committee determined that the cafeteria, that tiny little room, is plenty big enough. There’s no space problem there, just a bottleneck in serving meals that can be solved by instituting a third lunch period. According to the committee, the high school cafeteria now serves 209 students and with its existing floor space, should serve 375 in three shifts before an expansion is even considered. It’s a game of words. The cafeteria may serve only 209 lunches but the facility serves the entire high school enrollment, now at 441, and in two shifts, not three. By counting just the meals purchased at the school, the committee has apparently decided that kids bringing their lunches from home, brown bagging it to avoid the line that stretches down the hall each shift, don’t need any place to eat besides the great out-doors or maybe the hall during bad weather. . ^ < , Anyone who’s ever been to Rappahannock County High School knows that the building is overcrowded. By maintaining that the school currently has 43 per cent excess space, the school board members on the committee strain the little bit of credibility that they have left. Who do they think they’re kidding? And more importantly, for what reason? _ _ _ —itapyaiwuuuui nrwiriMU'a. ■ t**‘1*ti THE GARDEN AT WAKEFIELD SCHOOL at Huntly was alive with color last week as the azaleas dominated the scene joined by a few lingering tulips and dogwood blossoms.

Nominations SofigWi&y VDC The Virginia division»o£ Children is soliciting nominations for the 1980 awards to “Outstanding Young Virginian” and “Outstanding Child : Advocate.” The “Outstanding Young Virginian” award is aimed at young people 13-18 years of age who have provided ■- m eritoxio us.... co mmunity service by contributing time and energy to a variety of causes. Last year, 30 outstanding young recipients were honored at a ceremony in Richmond. This year, two young people from each Of the state’s 22 planning districts will be recognized. The “Outstanding Child Advocate” award focuses on citizens who have promoted children's interests and worked towards meeting their needs through the courts, schools, social service agencies and community. Ten individuals from throughout the state will receive an award in this category. Extra School Space Claimed (Continued from Page 1) engineers and a roofing consultant from Springfield, Drenning said. He added that his company can help the school board with grant applications for federal funds to defraying the cost of the energy analysis and conservation measures. In addition. he said they would attempt to coordinate energy conservation work with roof repairs. While the board was questioning the architect, Eastham reported that two representatives from the Reston firm had visited both schools at the request of the space committee. “There’s been no cost to the county so far,” he assured the chairman. “They weren’t brought up here to make recommendations, just to gather information.” “Would you snare with us some of their comments?” Mrs. Mas sic asked. Stokes reported that the architects had found both school buildings to be in good, sound condition and had remarked that the high school was lucky to be on coal. “They made some comments to me.” Drenning interjected. “They were impressed with the maintenance. They said that both schools were very well maintained. And they were impressed with the recentness of construction.” Mrs. Massie noted that the report from Stokes, Eastham and Masterson had found the high school poorly maintained. “Did you take them to this high school or some other high school?” asked Eastham. “Well, they didn’t see anything major—they didn’t see any cracks in the wall,” Stokes responded in explanation of the inconsistent opinions on RCHS maintenaoc^ Masterson reported on work at a McLean elementary school done by KDA. The school has an entire wing with no walls, large portways instead of doors, recessed ceilings to collect noise and carpeted floors with half the windows closed up, he said. “There were 500 children in one area and there was no sound,” Masterson said, noting that instructors followed team teaching techniques. Learning disabled students are in a separate wing, he added. Masterson reported that moveable walls which take approximately three hours to put up allow flexibility and maximum space utilization. He also noted that students in the McLean schools’ “open concept” wing work around tables in groups rather than in standard desks. At the suggestion of East ham, the board members agreed to visit the school with a representative of the Reston architectural firm. Noting that the high school has the most citical space needs, Charles Eldred asked if the open concept approach was applicable for secondary schools. Drenning acknowledged that his firm- had not done similar renovation work at a high school but said that an employee with KDA had experience in that area. Eldred asked if team teaching was used generally at the high school level. Superintendent William Bloomer responded that team teaching was employed more on the primary level. He added that the trend, even in primary grades, is away from the open classroom concept so popular just a few yean ago and back towards traditional approaches to education. “They’re putting the walls back in.” Asked if his firm had encountered any difficulties in having architectural plans approved by the state Department of Education, Drenning replied that “sometimes buildings have a way of going up before approval comes back from Richmond.” Eldred noted that school regulations call for either a specified number of windows for venilation or installation of air conditioning. The savings from energy conservation by closing up windows is often offset by energy use from air conditioning and artificial lighting, according to Eldred. He emphasized that solving the roof problems at both schools should have top priority, figuring that it currently costs approximately S14 per year per student to maintain. Eastham noted that his committee’s report urged the school board to obtain expert recommendation on roof repairs within the next' month. “I will agree with you,” Mrs. Massie responded. “But that’s the only part of your report that I’m prepared to take immediate action on.” “We don’t ask that the report be accepted or rejected tonight...But we ought to be able to make a decision on the modular unit,” said Eastham, describing the double trailer in the budget now before the supervisors as “very unnecesarry.” Mrs. Massie countered that she wanted time to look over the figures and had questions for... ’’Read it out to her,” Eastham interrupted, handing the report to Walter Masterson. Then, apparently deciding to continue himself, stated that John Hammill, superintendent of school buildings in the state department was the authority supplying all the data in the report. ^ “I’m not questioning the validity (of the information). 1. just want to look it over,” Mrs. Massie answered. She cited a discrepancy in information received from different departments on whether existing classrooms mav be divided. Assistant superintendent Rob McDaniel reported that the regional special education coordinator had indicated that students classified as educable mentally retarded couldn’t be roomed with trainable mentally retarded. “She didn’t speak to space,” McDaniel said. Await Report Mrs. Massie asked why the allocation for a modular unit should be withdrawn from the proposed 1980-81 budget without waiting for the report from Bloomer on the feasibility of dividing classrooms and-or holding three-hour kindergarten sessions. Eastham recalled that the unit had originally been voted into the budget to cover a shortfall in meeting the minimum per pupil expenditure of $1,075. “There is no shortfall (and) if the board accepts the facta in this report, there’s no way we can face the public with a request for more space without better utilization of what we have now.” Mrs. Massie corrected Eastham, noting that a single modular unit had initially been proposed as a means of providing classroom space for students returning next year from Piedmont’s discontinued learning disabilities program. In figuring'the square footage at the elementary school, Mrs. Massie said, the committee ignored an important factor—the , extra space requirements - of special programs such as reading lab, learning disabilities resource, speech, psychological services and other classes with low mandated enrollment. “If you leave out these programs, then and only then do we have any excess space,” she said. “If the state says we can divide classrooms, that’s something else,” Mrs. Massie added. “The program is part of the reason for the puzzle,” Eastham maintained. "We’ve proved to you that we have way in excess of the space we need at both schools, though, in effect, we have crowding here and there. The obvious answer to the puzzle is the misuse of space.” Teaching stations and the number of rooms must be figured into any analysis of school space, Eldred countered. Interrupting again, Eastham argued that misuse of space, particularly in the special education classes was the issue. “Every time we’ve been in there (EMR and TMR classroom), there are only five students.” "Are space requirements different for special education?” Eldred asked. Raatrictlom On Number There are restrictions in the number of students per classroom but none on the size of the room, McDaniel answered, acknowledging that it may be possible to add a partition to divide the room. Mrs. Massie repeated that she wasn’t ready to immediately act on the withdrawal of the modular unit from the proposed budget. / “The board has to decide that,” Eastham interjected. "You’ve stated repeatedly in the past that you won’t vote to do something until you see an order on the t*ble/‘ Mrs. Massie reminded him. "I’d like the administration to present a proposal for the room division to the state department and have them react in writing. Until we get a ruling from the state. I’m not ready to tell the supervisors that we don’t need the modular.” ‘‘Well, when the time comes. I’m ready to put it to a motion. We’ve been down this whole dialogue before,” Eastham stated. Stokes reminded the board that the architect had reported on school con- \ struction that had progressed without the prior approval from Richmond required by law. Mrs. Massie and Eldred both maintained that they would oppose any construction work that didn’t have an okay from the state department as legally specified. “There are two members of the committee who wish to withdraw the modular i nit,” Eastham insisted. “Are you ready for the motion?” ‘‘I would like time for more discussion,” Mrs. Massie answered. How long do you want to have?” Eastham demanded. “Until everyone has the chance to express their opinion,” answered Mrs. Massie. “Well, I’ve expressed mine. I’m finished,” Eastham said, leaving the table to get a cup of coffee. Asked when a ruling on classroom division could be expected from Richmond, Bloomer said be would attempt to secure an answer by May IS. . Reasonable Action In addition, Eldred said,' the bond needs some idea of what the renovation will cost. “Then, possibly, we could act in , a more reasonable manner.” He maintained that half-day kindergarten classes will coat more than a modular unit due to increased gas prices, estimating (Contim^d on Page 8) Robinson Aide Here May 21 Rep.

Letters Misplaced Priorities To the editor: I am writing in reference to the letter in last weeks paper from Mr. Eastham. I too urge everyone to register to vote on the school board referendum, but unlike Mr. Eastham, I will vote YES1 Mr. Eastham stood at a public meeting and said, “I don’t have to answer to anyone.” If the referendum passes, then the school board members will have to answer to the supervisors, who in turn have to answer to the people. This is what Mr. Eastham fears. If it takes politics to see that our tax dollars are spent properly, then I’m all for it. I am almost ashamed to say that I live in Wakefield District due to the remarks and attitude of our school board member. He has insulted the teachers and frankly has the entire school system in an uproar. I know of at least one teacher that has decided not to return next year due strictly to his snide remarks. Yes, Mr. Eastham, I am employed by the school. I am a bus driver, though I’m sure you will do your best to ridicule me and remedy that. But if 1 were buying groceries with your tax dollar on my salary, my family would have starved long ago. Being employed by the school system I have had the opportunity to see a great deal that I was unaware of. I am concerned not only for my own children, but for the children I see everyday of the week. I plead with the board to talk to the people in the schools. Talk to the teachers, the principals, the bus drivers, the superintendent and assistant superintendent. Lot’s of them pay taxes, too. You hired them, so at least have the trust to believe what they tell you. There are some school board members that show a genuine concern for our educational system. Mr. Eastham’s letter shows that his first concern is his wallet, and I know there are those who agree. But if people would stop and ask, "What is more imporjant? The education of our children or that one almighty tax dollar.” If you choose the latter, then I suggest you take a closer look at your sense of values. Charlotte F.

Silver Spring, Md. 28]5 Panthers Slump Rappahannock’s varsity baseball team is in an end-ofseason slump, losing five out of their last five games. On last Friday, May 5, the Panthers kept even with the Madison Mountaineers until the final innings before they bowed, 6-4. Madison scored first and then the Panthers had an opportunity to use their bats. Tony Way land started off with a walk and Jeff Jenkins got things rolling when he smashed a triple to score Wayland. Gary Leake hit a sacrifice bunt to bring Jenkins in and put the score at 2-1 in Rappahannock’s favor. Madison came back with two in the second inning. Then in the fourth. Pops Aylor hit a single and stole second. Gary Jenkins sent him home with a single and then Jenkins advanced to third as Tony Armentrout got on base through an error.

Board Considers Half-Day - (Continued from Page 4) it would add around $75,000 to the transportation portion of the budget. Eastham again in-' terrupted, disagreeing with Eldred’s figures but providing none of his own. Masterson recalled that he’d questioned Dr. Bloomer regarding classroom division after the superintendent had relayed approval from the state department for division of the proposed single modular unit into LD resource and self-contained classrooms. "And what did you say?” “That the state department didn't recommend it.” Bloomer replied. "That didn’t sound logical to me,” Masterson continued, noting that he'd checked further and had been told by Hammill that an existing classroom could be partitioned. According to Masterson, the state department not only permits but encourages partitioning jfo allow school divisions to > work with existing facilities. Masterson also claimed that the space problems at the high school arise from programing and scheduling rather than lack of room. He questioned whether the administration has time or expertise to resolve the problems and suggested that the Reston architectural firm or a similar company be hired as consultants. "Are you ready for the motion?” Eastham asked. “One moment,” Mrs. Massie interjected. “I’d like to divide it in two.” “No ma’am. I do not accept your suggestion,” replied Eastham. Committee’s Work? Mrs. Massie asked if the report on space and maintenance was the work of the two member com Lady Panthers 4th In Regionals By joe McCullough Rappahannock New* Sport* Writer After earning the right to advance with strong performances in the Skyline District track meet at James Madison University, RCHS varsity girls finished 4th out of 18 teams competing in last Friday's regional competition at Fluvanna County High School. Some of the girls placed well enough at the earlier Skyline District meet to qualify directly for state competition. But even though they were assured of the chance at statewide contests, they went all out in Fluvanna on May 9. The strongest performer was Johanna Day who placed second at both meets in the high jump, clearing 5’2” at the district and 5’0” at the regionals. She also was fourth in the 880 with a time of 2:32.9 at the district meet and improved her run to 2:29.8 at the regionals, again placing fourth. 1 he weather was unusually cold at Fluvanna last Friday morning, but it had no effect on Rhonda Wiley who seemed to improve under the chilly conditions. She placed sixth in the hurdles at the district, but came alive last Friday sparking Panther fans, when she ran second to almost pull off an upset win. Allison Best, who placed fifth at the May 2 district meet in 12.0 seconds for the 100 yard dash, failed to place in the regionals. Her time in the district, however, was fast enough to qualify for the state meet, despite her slower finish last Friday. Mary Jordan was 3rd in the district with a 32’7” throw in the shot put. She slipped to 4th in the Regionals, throwing 30’11”. Allison Best placed 5th in the long jump at the district with 15’7V«”, not good enough to make the state meet. Tammy Atkins improved her performance in the Discus with a throw of 92’9” for third in the District, bettering her fifth place toss of 92’10% in the Regionals. Ann Thomas, coming off an injury, was fourth in the mile run on Friday with a time of 3:42 and third in the 2-mile with 12:27. According to Coach Ann Spieker, Thomas still hasn’t completely recovered from a sprained achilles tendon. She will, however, have another chance in state contests. Rappahannock’s 880 relay team surprised everyone at the district meet. The Lady Panthers filled the air with excitement, running the course in 1:50.9 to qualify for state. They kept up their streak with a fourth place finish last Friday in 1:53. The relay team consists of Allison Best, Crystal Porter, Debbie Seal, and Kim Williams.

Boy’s Track The boy’s track team sent two competitors to the regionals, each in two events. To qualify, Paul Keithley ran the 120 hurdles in 17.5 and Intermediate hurdles in 43.2 at the District Meet. He failed to place in the regionals. Chris Foster placed in the district meet at the high jump clearing 6’0”, and ran the 440 yard dash in 51.2. Foster also placed in both events at the regionals, reaching 5’10” in the high jump and finishing the 440 in 54.1, both for fourth place finishes. The final standings at the girls district meet were: Stonewall Jackson (132) Central (112) Montevideo (49) Rappahannock (32) Strasburg (28) William Monroe (26) Madison (23) Luray (17) Elkton (6) and Page (4). In the regionals. Stonewall was again first with 103, followed by Fluvanna (66) Central Woodstock (64) and Rappahannock (42). The Lady Panthers finished ahead of 14 other schools.

"We had input from this man," Eastham acknowledged, referring to Masterson. He also acknowledged that Masterson accompanied the two on all visits to the schools. Eastham went on to move that the board direct Bloomer to draw up detailed plans for implementation of half-day day kindergarten and-or room partitioning and to immediately withdraw the appropriation for the modular unit from the budget. Stokes seconded the motion. "Is there any futher discussion?” asked Mrs. Massie. “It’s hasty," Eldred commented. The motion passed threetwo with Massie and Eldred opposed. In clarification, Bloomer asked if the state department of education official referred to in the committee’s report was John Hammill. "That was your understanding?" asked Stokes, looking to Masterson. Masterson nodded in agreement. 1 just want to make sure I’m talking to the same people,” Bloomer replied. Eastham again stated that he wanted a motion to accept the committee’s entire report. “Why the urgency?" asked Mrs. Massie. “Because it was presented at this meeting,” Eastham answered. Mrs. Massie explained that it has been the board’s policy to have proposals and reports submitted for at one meeting for action at the next session, allowing time for reviw. Eastham agreed then to save his motion for acceptance until the board's meeting on May 13. ‘‘There’s varying information in this report from what we’ve received in the past,” Eldred commented. “You’re completely, completely, completely completely right that this board has received varying information,’’ Eastham commented. Supervisors’ Request In a final item, Mrs. Massie reported that supervisor chairman E. P. Luke had asked her to relay to the board a suggestion on retaining the appropriation for underground gasoline tanks in the current budget if buying in bulk meant a savings per gallon of two cents or more. "Is this an official action from the board of supervisors that you’re presenting?” asked Stokes. “Did the supervisors vote on this?” Eastham chimed in. Mrs. Massie also relayed a second request: that the board consider paring down SELLING YOUR HOME??? If so, do you sell psychology? Advertising? Prospect buyers? Competitive market values? Contracts? Financing? Closing? And much more. Save your precious time and list with appahannock — Farm, Land, ResidentiaL Commercial — P- O.

Williams, Sales Assoc. - 675-3221 Equal Housing Opportunity its estimated cost per gallon of gasoline from S2. According to county accountant Wally Cox, other school divisions are using figures betweeen $1.30 and $1.50 per gallon, she reported. “He’s saying to put back the gas tanks when our experts said we didn’t need it,” said Eastham, referring to earlier statements from Masterson that buying gasoline in bulk no longer resulted in any savings. “That adds to the budget...Col. Luke is saying ‘1 want to build the budget,’ Eastham charged. “How does Col. Luke know if there’s any savings? Col. Luke’s an expert on everything!” he added. Regarding the estimate on per gallon cost of gasoline, Eastham maintained that the supervisors, not the school board, should take action to lower the projection by cutting the budget themselves. “If Col. Luke wants to get the vote of the board of supervisors cutting the transportation category and assume responsibility for the guess, I, as one board member, would be most willing to listen.” He acknowledged, however, that the board’s estimate may •have been a little high. Eldred noted that he didn’t feel it necessary for the supervisors to act officially in order for the school board to make budget adjustments. After a lengthy discussion but with no vote, the board reached a majority consensus to ask the supervisors how much they wanted cut from the transportation budget. In a short question period from the audience as the clock neared midnight, high school math teacher P|n Bomberger maintained that per pupil space needed to be worked out on the basis of 15 square feet per student in each classroom—not taking the average for the entire school. (After the meeting was adjourned, Bomberger stayed to explain his reasoning to Eastham.) Noting that she had the dubious distinction of teaching the largest class at the elementary school, fourth grade teacher Aney Massie invited Eastham to visit her classroom and show her the excess 14 feet of space per pupil, as well as any extra space anywhere in the school. "Honey...” Eastham began. "I’m not your honey," Mrs. Massie countered. "All right Mrs. Massie,” Eastham said, acknowledging that her class was crowded. He repeated his assertion that per pupil space at the elementary school was over the minimum required by the state. “Not just a little over the minimum—a great deal over. Somebody better look at the scheduling or I don’t care how many buildings we give you, you’ll still be crowded,” he concluded.
