Rappahannock News, May 29, 1980

A PAID CIRCULATION NOW 2,568 RAPPAHANNOCK HOUSEHOLDS 2,101 The County Family Newspaper Founded 1877 31st YEAR, No. 22 USPS 455580 10 Pages THURSDAY, MAY 29,1980 Washington, Virginia Phone 675-3349 20' Boy Dies From Fall Big Devil's Stairs in Harris Hallow claimed a victim last weekend when a Maryland teenager sustained head injuries in a fall that resulted in his death. According to John Ritenour, Shenandoah’s assistant chief park ranger, 17-year-old Christopher McCollough was hiking with family and friends on Saturday, May 24, along the trail that runs from the Bluff trail to the park’s boundary. Reaching the canyon at the head of the hollow, Ritenour said, the youth left the group and fell while “rock scrambling.” Another youngster hiked out of the park to make the emergency call, Ritenour said, but was unable to give the exact location of the accident. Washington volunteer rescue squad personnel, starting from the bottom of the trail, reached the scene before park rangers arrived after leaving from the top. The boy was taken to Fauquier Hospital where he died from head injuries, according to Ritenour. Hiti Charged With Murder Glenn Hitt of Castleton has been charged with murder in the shooting death of a Fredericksburg man two weeks ago. Jimmy Franklin Hitt, 40, died late Saturday night, May 17, at Culpeper Memorial Hospital of injuries resulting from a wound in the leg caused by a single shot from a 12-gauge shotgun. Glen Hitt was arrested Tuesday night. May 20, and charged with murder. He was released on $5,000 bond the same evening, pending a hearir on June 10. According to the Rappahannock sheriff’s department, the dead man was the adopted son of Glenn Hitt’s uncle. Reportedly, the two grew up together and Saturday’s tragedy was the result of an old feud that has simmered for more than 20 years.

HufFs letter noted the “cursory treatment” given fire and rescue in the comprehensive plan and maintained that it left the impression that no improvement is needed. Huff described fire and rescue services as “adequate at best” and in need of development, adding that the association is currently involved in a study of services provided. Newbill Miller, chairman of the planning commission’s comprehensive plan committee, stated he had no objections to dropping "excellent” but objected to substituting “marginal” or By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock INewa Staff Writrr With one major revision regarding four laning of Route 211 through Flatwocd, the Rappahannock planning commission on Wednesday forwarded the county’s first comprehensive plan to the board of supervisors with a unanimous recommendation for approval. For all practical purposes, the court house was deserted during the required public hearing. Only Phil Irwin was present and. on behalf of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, voiced “unqualified support” for the plan the single comment from the public at Wednesday night’s session. The planners went over suggestions made at community meetings held last month in Sperryville, Washington, Amissville, Flint Hill, Chester Gap and Woodville which drew a total combined attendance of 50. In response to remarks BZA Okays Variance For Campground By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock >#*w* Staff Writer At a special meeting on Thursday, May 22, Rappahannock’s board of zoning appeals approved a temporary variance to allow the Nationwide Pentacostal Evangelistic Association a single camper hook-up at the organization’s nine-acre site near Castleton. Along with permission for one connection to water and electricity for the ten days of NPEA’s 1980 camp meeting, the BZA attempted to impose controls on excessive noise. As conditions of the variance, amplifiers at the campgrounds must be turned off at 10 p.m. with organized preaching to cease at 11 p.m. Worshipers do not have to disperse at that time, however, and may continue singing and prayer. In addition, an unlimited number of campers will be permitted to park on the property as long as the units are not hooked in to water, electricity or sewer. For waste disposal, the campers will use the planned dumping station, yet to be installed and approved by the health department. The BZA also stipulated that noise controls listed in Article 13 of the zoning ordinance will apply to the campground. They included, however, only the criteria for decible levels covered in Table I rather than the more stringent controls in Table II. (Rappahannock’s zoning ordinance, including controls on maximum allowed decible levels, was adopted in September, 1973. How these regulations are to be enforced is open to question since the county does not now have and has never had any equipment for measuring decibles.) No Removal Order Although they approved the use of only one camper connection, the BZA members issued no orders for dismantling the 12 additional hook-ups to sewer, water and electricity at the site. The 13 connections were installed last year without approval from either county zoning authorities or the health department. Under the property’s residential subdivision zoning, neither campgrounds nor churches are allowed as a matter of right. In fact, nothing—not even a single family dwelling unit—is allowed by right in an RS-1 zone. Reportedly, this is due to an oversight on the part of the planning commission and board of supervisors when the ordinance was adopted in 1973. In light of the omission, strict interpretation of the ordinance requires property owners to apply for a variance to the board of zoning appeals before building a home on their RS1 zoned land. Although the stated intent of the RS-1 district is “to provide low density residential areas...to create a harmonious residential community and promote a suitable environment for family life,” the ordinance makes no provision for residential uses by right or even with a special use permit. In practice, zoning administrator Evan McNear applies the provisions of the ordinance’s residential district (R-l) to the residential subdivision district (RS-1). In R-l, churches are allowed by right and accordingly, McNear issued a building permit last year to NPEA for its tabernacle, bath house and pavilion on the nine-acre lot. NPEA also has health department approval for sewage disposal for their church. In a permit issued March 24, 1978, local sanitarian Jack Lockhart authorized a septic system to handle 500 gallons of waste per day. 600 For Residence According to sanitary superintendent William Burke from the health department’s Culpeper office, the permit signed by Lockhart is typical of the type issued to country churches with a congregation of between 35 and 50 persons and once or twice a week services. This system, however, would not be adequate for the 400 some persons who attended NPEA camp meetings for all-day and evening services last year, according to Burke. (Continued on Page 2) 255 Petitioners Ignored Trustees Return Eastham, Dump Eldred For Miller By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Unmoved by statements of support and petitions in favor of Guy Foster with signatures from 255 Wakefield District residents, electoral trustees C. E. Johnson Jr. and ^Granville Eastham last Friday night appointed Eastham’s brother Robert to the Rappahannock school board for three years and one month remaining in a fouryear term. Eastham and Johnson also joined forces to remove Charles Eldred from the board, despite endorsements—in person and by petition—for the incumbent from Hampton District, and replaced him with Washington mayor and Rappahannock county planning commissioner J. Newbill Miller, likewise for an unexpired term of three years and one month. Friday’s session came as a result of illegal actions taken by the trustees one year ago. Last June, following a secret executive session, the electoral trustees named Eastham to a two-year term from Wakefield and Eldred to a four-year term from Hampton. They took no vote on either position, instead merely announcing their decisions. The appointments were immediately challenged under provisions of Virginia's Freedom of Information Act and the challenges were supported by two opinions from the state Attorney General’s office, one dated October, 1979, and the second in March, 1980. The trustees, however, refused to acknowledge that the appointments were in valid until after circuit court Judge Shore Robertson in April ordered a special referendum set for June 17 on changing the method of appointing school board members. If the trustees had not acted on the invalid appointments prior to that date, assuming voters in the referendum favored switching to appointment by the board of supervisors, the two challenged positions from Wakefield and Hampton would have been acted on by the supervisors. At the same time that the trustees acknowledged their earlier violation of the Freedom of Information Act, they also raised the possibility that they may have acted illegally in naming Eastham to just a two-year term. Asked by the trustees to research the question. Commonwealth’s Attorney Douglas Baumgardner noted that, in order to stagger expiration of appointments, the trustees may fill a vacancy for one year or three years but not. under Virginia law, for two years. At Friday’s meeting in the elementary school auditorium, Johnson admitted the earlier errors by the trustees, blaming the mistake of the two-year appointment on ‘‘bad legal advice.” He maintained that Eastham and Eldred have served as “de facto members” of the board since last July and. therefore all actions they took as members remain valid. Dr. Werner Krebser from Huntly presented the trustees with petitions carrying signatures of 255 Wakefield District residents in support of Guy Foster. Krebser pointed out the animosity and controversy that has marked school board meetings since the appointment last year of Wakefield representative Robert Eastham. “The school sysrem, particularly the school children, is suffering,’' he maintained, adding that children are the county's biggest asset. ‘‘They won't amount to anything if they're not taught well and in the right atmosphere," he said. Foster, age 38. was born and raised in Rappahannock and has three children in the county’s public school system, Krebser continued. He pointed out that Foster, president of the Rappahannock Athletic Association, has demonstrated his interest and involvement with youngsters by his volunteer efforts in * organizing sports programs, specifically Rappahannock's only county-wide summer baseball program for youngsters. From his position in management in the building industry with Boise Cascade. Krebser said, Foster is uniquely qualified to serve on the school board at a time when a capital outlay program of school expansion is being considered. “I plead with you to listen to the voices of 255 voters of (Continued on Page 6) Left System Undamaged By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock >cw* Staff Writer At the request of the Rappahannock school board, a fire safety inspection was conducted by state fire marshals at the high school on May 15. According to the motion from school board member Robert Eastham, the inspection was to determine if boiler mishaps on May 7 and 8 that resulted in the evacuation of RCHS were the result of mechanical failure or human error and negligence. The fire marshal’s report, dated May 19, cites mechanical problems with automatic controls as a cause of the boiler troubles. The letter from K.R. Frese, state fire marshal, notes that the inspection request was “reportedly triggered by an overpressuring of the hot water heating system safety relief valve and an overfiring of the furnace which had occured a few days before." Frese cited a check of the boiler system by L.M. Moten on May 12. “He is considered to be a certified boiler inspector by the State of Virginia and this office considers his report as a valid and competent inspection," Fese wrote. R AA Needs Volunteers The Rappahannock Athletic Association is attempting to conduct a summer youth baseball program. On Saturday, May 24 an organizational meeting was held and a grand total of three persons attended. A second meeting has been set for tonight, Thursday, May 29 at seven o’clock in Sperryville fire hall. This meeting will decide whether or not there will be a baseball program. “Time is running out. We must have volunteers show up Thursday or we’ll have to forget the program,” said association membqf Guy Foster. Moten found “no evident sign of burning, bulging or distortion of the boiler" following the pressure buildup on May 7 and 8. According to the fire marshal, "one reason the boiler overheated was that an automatic control for the heating system had been bypassed because of a malfunction in the control.” In order to prevent repeat occurences of the same type of situation, Frese suggested that a staff policy be established "to require immediate replacement of control mechanisms when the heating system is in use until the control mechanism could be repaired or replaced.” The fire marshal’s report emphasizes that maintenance recommendations from Moten should be implemented as soon as practicable. Moten, an employee of the insurance company which carries the policy on the Rappahannock schools, suggested that (1) fire surfaces of the boiler be kept thoroughly cleaned of soot and ashes to reduce deterioration from external corrosion when the boiler is idle and to reduce fuel consumption when it is in use, (2) the system be dosed, examined and checked in operation to find the exact location of leaks which were observed around the flanges, (3) the waterside of the boiler be completely flushed, (4) the low-water control be dismantled and cleaned thoroughly, (5) all leaky flanges to replaced, (6) all leaking seals repaired and (7) all unusable material stored in the boiler room be removed and stored elsewhere. Neither the report from Moten nor from fire marshal Frese contained any further recommendations regarding maintenance operations or safely procedures regarding boiler operation. Frese noted in his letter, however, that the fire safety inspection at RCHS and at the elementary school uncovered several deficiencies apparently unrelated to heating systems. Reports on the deficiencies will be mailed under separate cover, according to Frese. As of Tuesday, superintendent William Bloomer said he had not received the separate reports. Planners Support First Ag District After delays due to errors in meeting state mandated time limits on processing. C.E. Johnson's agricultural and forestal district won a unanimous recommendation for approval from the Rappahannock Planning Commision on Wednesday. At the planners' required public hearing on the 750acre Sperryville ag district, the public was represented by Phil Irwin and Henry Hudson, the only two individuals who attended the meeting. Neither had any comments—for or against —Johnson's application. The county’s agricultural and forestal district advisory committee, chaired by Gen. Hugh Exton, recommended approval in a written report. The committee found Johnson’s land to be “agriculturally significant,” based on personal inspection, soil analysis and past production history. The property, owned and farmed by the Johnson family since 1840, consists of 112 acres in orchards. 90 acres in hay. 320 acres in pasture. 210 acres in timber and 11 acres of waste.” According to the county forester, the timber is commercially valuable. The advisory committee's report also notes that Johnson's orchards, first planted in 1870, yield more than 65,000 bushels of apples per year which makes him the third or fourth largest producer in the county. In addition, the Sperryville farmer maintains a herd of approximately 100 black Angus cattle, according to the report. “I'm hoping we'll start (Continued on Page 2) fl fT'rr *5||- w: AMISSVILLE FIRE HOUSE is undergoing restoration following a fire earlier this spring with damage estimated at $92,000.

BZA Okays Variance (Continued from Page 1) A permit for the sort of allday services held by NPEA should be judged more on the lines of residential usage which is figured at 100 gallons per person per day, according to Burke. By comparison with the 500 gallon per day sewage capacity of the NPEA facility, septic systems for the average three bedroom home are constructed with a 600gallon-per-day capacity, Burke said. In addition, NPEA’s well which provides water to those attending the camp meeting has not yet been tested. Both the March, 1978. health department permit from Lockhart and a campground inspection form dated March 28. 1980. state that the water supply hasn’t been sampled. At last Thursday’s BZA meeting, Rev. L. D. Savage, pastor of a local Pentacostal COUNTRY STITCHERS SEWING SERVICES ALL TYPES SEWING CLOTHING DRAPERIES CRAFTS ALTERATIONS & REP AIRS SEWING LESSONS AVAILABLE TAILORING FOR: WOMEN-MEN CHILDREN 01R SPEOALTH 937-4134 7 a.m.-9 p.m. MON.-FRI. church and applicant for the variance on behalf of NPEA, presented petitions with over 500 signatures in support of the campground. The signatures were from both Rappahannock residents and people of adjoining counties, as well as members of churches, some out-of-state, affiliated with NPEA. He acknowledged that he’d received a letter from the state health department the previous day which outlined other requirements NPEA must meet in order to obtain septic system and well approval from that agency. Savage promised that NPEA "will do whatever necessary" to gain the health department's authorization for campers. Improvements Made He gave the BZA a list of what NPEA has done in regard to the campgrounds since the meeting two weeks ago and what the group is willing to do in the future to satisfy complaints of neighbors. According to Savage. NPEA has unstopped the culvert on the property, attacked erosion problems by reseeding grass and fertilizing. conducted a massive clean-up of the grounds and painted the gable at the end of the bath house. In the list, NPEA volunteered in the future to reduce the volume of amplification and coat the beams of the open-air pavilion where services are held with a sound absorbing material, plant trees to screen the property, either install a blind or redirect light beams fiappatjannock Neuia Rappahannock & Adjoining Counties p>er year $7.00 Elsewhere in the*U.

"I wish we could say that we could do away with all noise but that's impossible,” he added. According to Savage, there was no amplification of the singing at last year’s services. “But 200 to 300 singing—that in itself is noise," he said. “That depends if they’re on or off key,” Gardiner quipped. Savage maintained that denial of camper hook-ups will work “an exceeding hardship” on those attending the camp meetings. He noted lack of hotel and motel facilities in the area, the expense of driving back and forth to overnight accomodations in other communities and the cost of the accomodations themselves. If visiting preachers have to commute to the campgrounds, they might not make it there in time for the meeting and services would have to go on without them. Savage said, noting that most of the camper users are Pentacostal ministers. No Permit Issued Speaking on behalf of those opposed to the variance. Mrs. Doris Donald handed out copies of a letter from the state health department dated May 20. The letter reported that Savage had contacted the health department to request an inspection on March 22, 1980, and then met David Alexander from the Culpeper office at the site on March 28. According to the letter, the campground’s water supply was off at that time so no samples were taken. In addition, Alexander found there was no sanitary dump station as required by law for camp facilities. “A health permit was not issued during Mr. Alexander's visit nor has one been issued to date," the letter stated. In order to meet health department requirements for operating either a temporary or permanent camp, according to the letter, the following requirements must be met: 1. Water supply and sewage disposal system serving the comfort station and campsites must be approved by the Rappahannock County Health Department. “The number of fixtures (24 in the comfort station) and sewer connections provided would satisfy the requirements...for 70 campsites, provided the facilities were for the exclusive use of the campsite occupants.” 2. An approved dumping station must be provided to serve any non-sewered sites. 3. Operation of the camp must comply with local ordinances. 4. Other routine regulations, for instance on garbage and refuse collection and disposal, must be complied with. Mrs. Donald produced additional letters and signatures from residents in the Castleton area opposing the campground variance. She also read a statement from Charles Gilbert Lawrence citing problems at the NPEA’s former campground on Waterloo Road near Amissville. According to Lawrence, the Pentacostal group constructed their building too close to the road, their septic system was installed too close to the adjoining property, all facilities were built without permits on a one-half acre site, trash disposal was inadequate and noise from services was excessive. Well Approved Questioned regarding health department approval, Savage said he had a sewage permit but had left the papers to prove it at home. He also maintained that ownership of the property by the church group was no legal under Virginia law since title had been changed to a board of trustees and was no longer held by the association. Savage added that the well on the Castleton property had health department approval. "The well has been tested and approved and you have the papers to prove it?” Gardiner asked. “Yes, sir,” Savage replied. Gardiner maintained that if the well had been tested once and approved, that was all that was legally required. “Then it’s their responsibility to keep the ground water from contaminating it. If they get cholera, that’s their hard luck," he said, adding that it’s not the perogative of the county to re-test a well unless the property is a rental property. William Donald noted that Savage had received the same letter from the health department that his wife handed out to the BZA members. "So why didn’t he bring the permits with him if he has them?” Donald asked, maintaining that Savage should have known the lack of permits cited in the letter would be an issue. Gardiner reminded the audience that all testimony was under oath. “Perjury in this board meeting is the same as perjury in a court of law...If your testimony is not in accord with the truth, you could be prosecuted in a court of law," he warned. Savage explained that the statement from Lawrence regarding lack of permits referred to the old camp meeting property on Waterloo Road in Culpeper County. He insisted that his group had approval for both the septic system and well on that land from Culpeper’s health department. In addition he said. NPEA has a permit for the original septic system at the Castleton site. Savage maintained that the only question lay in whether the Castleton system was capable of handling the additional load from camper hook-ups. He again volunteered that the system would be upgraded if it wasn’t satisfactory. Gardiner asked why the NPEA delayed until April in applying for a special use permit after being told by the zoning administrator last year that one was required' for the campground. Savage explained that McNear had advised them they could apply anytime between last year’s camp meeting and this year’s session. Misunderstanding Only McNear, called to the BZA table and sworn in, said he visited the campgrounds after receiving numerous calls of complaints from neighbors last year. He attributed NPEA’s failure to apply for the necessary zoning permits to “misunderstanding” and ‘ said he didn't suggest that they immediately apply to the BZA because “there were only one or two days left in the meeting.” McNear said he explained the regulations last June, Savage agreed to apply for a permit and he advised them they needed authorization before they used the property again. Then, approximately 10 months later, NPEA applied for a special use permit or (Continued on Page 10) are ripe at JORDAN RIVER FARM, Huntly. Pick your own or picked to order.

Planners Approve AFD (Continued from Page 1) looking out for our farmlands more than we have been,” said Johnson, in explaining his application. America has spent the last few decades worshipping ribbons of highway and cloverleafs, he continued. “When they finish the day’s travel, I believe they’ll want to eat," Johnson said. He told the planners that he’d notified his neighbors of his application and found them all in favor although none of the nearby landowners had expressed any interest in joining the district. By letter, since he was unable to attend Wednesday’s meeting, planning commissioner E. P. Luke stated his support .for the district “with no reservations.” The rest of the commissioners voted unanimously to recommend approval to the supervisors who must now hold their own public hearing and act on the application. Preservation Tool The Virginia General Assembly adopted enabling legislation for agricultural and forestal districts as a means of preserving and protecting agricultural land and encouraging its continued use for food and fiber production. Qualifying land within an approved ag district is eligible for use value taxation whether or not the locality has adopted a county-wide use value taxation ordinance. If the land receiving use value taxation is changed to a use which doesn’t qualify for an ag district, however, rollback taxes at eight percent for a five year period—the difference between normal taxes and use value rates plus an interest penalty—become due immediately. Powers of eminent domain by local, state or federal government are limited but not blocked. Expenditures of public funds within a district, except for farm-related purposes, is prohibited UNLESS the expenditure is authorized by local government following a public hearing. In addition, local government may not enact nuisance ordinances within a district that adversely affect farming and forestry practices unless the ordinances are necessary for the protection of public Bridge Club Mrs. C.E.

Title to property is passed in very specific ways - ordinarily by a deed signed by all the owners. Also, ownership should be a matter of record in either the Registry of Deeds, Registry of Probate (if the land is acquired by will) or in the Land Court in the case of registered land. The point is this. If you are paying taxes on land you do not own, or in which you have only a partial interest; you are merely preserving the status quo - not improving the title. If this is your case, don’t wait until you decide to sell to perfect the title. Do it now! If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at FILEEN M.

The play will be the seventh annual dramatic production under the direction of Mrs. Pamela Lynn and will be performed in the school auditorium May 30 and 31 with an 8 p.m. curtain time. The public is invited to attend and admission is S2.50. The play is a classical tragedy which dramatizes the struggle for power between the Old Gods (Furies), who claim to be the judges of all murderers of blood relatives, and the New Gods (Zeus, Athena, etc.), who are bound to protect sworn covenants. The central conflict of the play involves Orestes, son of Agamemnon, who killed his mother, Clytemnestra, to avenge the murder of his father by his mother. The curtain opens to display the case in which the demonic Furies pursue Orestes to the temple of Athena where he is to be, judged. Suspense mounts as we ponder the fate of the' hero. With the outcome of the trial, the New Gods are able to establish their authority and to impose their new theology upon the Furies who must abandon their older, false religion. r l* Culpeper Art Co. 204 N.

Inc Member, Audit Bureau ot Circulation THURSDAY, MAY 29,1980 Democracy Ignored Rappahannock's democratic systems will be a long time in recovering from the travesty of a public hearing conducted by the electoral trustees last Friday night. One year ago. the trustees met in secret to put together one of those questionable backroom deals that Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act is designed to prevent. Chairman C. E. Johnson made a major error, however, by merely announcing the trustee’s decision, rather than taking a formal vote after the illegal executive session. The'two appointments made that night were immediately challenged by this newspaper and others in the community interested in the education of Rappahannock's children. An opinion from Attorney General Marshall Coleman in October and a second ruling from his office in March verified that the appointments were invalid. In the meantime, actions by the new Wakefield representative, Robert Eastham, sparked a growing resentment among newcomers and oldtimers alike in the district he was appointed to represent. Appointed, we might add, by the three-member trustee board his brother sits on after a public hearing at which the name of Robert Eastham was never even mentioned. The growing resentment in W akefield District was the catalyst that sparked a successful petition drive to have the question of school board appointments put before the voters. It was only after Judge Shore Robertson signed the order for a referendum on changing the method of naming school board members to appointment by the supervisors that the , trustees finally agreed to reconsider their invalid actions of last June. Could it be that they feared the prerogative of keeping the board stacked with advocates of “low taxes first and education second” would be taken away from them? Did they fear that the referendum would pass? Did they become aware that the supervisors would then have the responsibility of validating the challenged appointments and that the Wakefield District supervisor would not place Eastham’s name in nomination? Reportedly, the trustee chairman vowed to replace the Hampton school board member Charles Eldred and reaffirm Eastham’s appointment from Wakefield if the trustees were forced to admit their mistake. We ignored the repreated warnings, we continued to fight in this newspaper for adherence to the law, believing that we had an obligation to resist coercion. After all the controversy stirred by Eastham, we didn't believe the trustees could justify reappointing him and removing Charles Eldred, a man who has demonstrated a commitment to quality education during his year on the board. We were right. The trustees didn’t justify their actions. Granville Eastham and Ned Johnson pulled it off without giving a single reason. In an unmatched display of arrogance and the abuse of power, they tied a gag over the voice of the people by reappointing Robert Eastham to the school board. They ignored the pleas of 265 Wakefield residents and listened to 29. Then the two delivered another kick in the teeth to democratic principles and fair play by dumping Charles Eldred for Newbill Miller who already wears two local government hats as a planning commissioner and mayor of the town of Washington. At the meeting, sixteen persons spoke in Miller’s behalf compared to 12 for Eldred. The incumbent, however, had petitions in his favor signed by 81 residents of Hampton District, a substantial mandate by any standard. One of the basic functions of public schools is to prepare young people for their role in a democratic society. They must learn the principles of democracy if they are to perpetuate our system of government. The trustees certainly set a poor example for our young people Friday night. What are the trustees holding for us in safe keeping? Certainly not the educational system of Rappahannock County. If we needed a reason for voting yes in the referendum on June 17, Johnson and Eastham gave it to us last Friday. Changing the power of appointment of school board members from the electoral trustees to the board of supervisors can only be a change for the better. Things can’t get any worse. Integrity Defended At a public meeting on Friday, Mr. Arthur Smoot stood up and charged the Rappahannock News with using its pages to distort the facts. Mr. Smoot failed to publicly state any particulars and since the charges are serious, we asked him after the meeting for elaboration. He gave us one example—last week’s editorial where we stated that the school board which refused to allow a cushion for expected gas price hikes in this year’s budget is the same board that overreacted and included $2 per gallon in the proposed budget for 198081. It wasn’t the same board, Mr. Smoot told us, because Paul Nichols was the Wakefield representative in the first instance and Robert Eastham in the second. We well remember Mr. Nichols. He was the only board member to -4 repeatedly suggest that the gas allocation in the 1979-80 budget be increased. But his interpretation of OPEC’s handwriting on the wall fell on deaf ears. Picky, picky Mr. Smoot, if that’s the only example of fact twisting you can come up with. If you want to get technical, we were right in the first place. It is the same board—the Rappahannock County School Board—that reacted to gas price proposals in both instances. One member of that board may have changed but, we repeat, it is the same board. When we make a mistake, we’ll be more than glad to acknowledge our error. No one, not even a newspaper reporter, is infallible but we strive always for accuracy and resent the implication that we deliberately misrepresent the truth. Last Day Thursday, May 29, is the last day Rappahannock residents may register to vote in the June 17 referendum on the method of school board selection. On June 17, voters will decide whether to remain witji the current method of appointment by electoral trustees or change to appointment by the board of supervisors, the only two options currently allowed under Virginia law. To register new voters or those who have not voted in an election in the past four years, the Registrar’s will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Letters To The Editor Vote Yes Dear Editor: Any citizen wanting to vote “yes” for the referendum must be registered to vote by Thursday, May 29, at the Court House. There are unregistered voters who signed the petition for the referendum and many parents of school children who are not registered. More than 50 per cent of the parents of children attending Rappahannock schools are not registered to vote. Those votes are needed. Vote YES on June 17. Mary Beth Martin , Thanks •* To the editor: On behalf of Rappahannock County High School I would like to express our sincere appreciation to the Rappahannock Lions Club for the mobile sight and hearing clinic recently scheduled at our school. The Lions Club and especially those members directly involved in this clinic are to be commended for their fine community service. John P. Toth Assistant Principal H—hT + To be able to look back upon one’s past life with satisfaction is to live twice. Injustice Done To the editor: On May 23, 1980 the County of Rappahannock and all its residents were done a severe injustice by the School Electoral Board with the appointment of Robert Eastham and J. Newbill Miller to the School Board. The travesty of holding a public hearing when the decisions have been made well in advance is a disservice to all people who call themselves citizens living in a democracy. The right to access to a decent, or at least adequate, education is one of the few rights still treasured by most people in this country. The rights of the students and parents of the Rappahannock school system have been trampled and discarded with the appointments made last night. The process of selection used by the Electoral Board demonstrated to those residents of Rappahannock who chose to live here, as opposed to just happening to be born here, that democracy can be made to function for only one small group of people and not for the whole people as it was designed. Our democracy views that all people within the system are citizens, not just those who own land, or farm the land, or pay taxes on property. The writings of great men throughout the ages have provided that one “condition of equality which the status of citizenship demands...is equality of educational opportunity. According to Mill (J.S. Mill), it is ‘almost a self-evident axiom that the State would require and compel the education, up to a certain standard, of every human being who is born its citizen.’ All men may not be endowed with the same native abilities or talents, but all born with enough intelligence to become citizens deserve the sort of education which fits them for the life of political freedom." (The Great Ideas, A Syntopican, p. 306) It is becoming more and more evident that many of the large landholding farmers of Rappahannock County wish to unequivocally deny this life of political freedom to the children of the County. If the children are not well educated in the school system it follows logically that these same children as adults will not be able to demand decent jobs which require skills and knowledge, or decent wages. This profits no one but the land owning farmers who need unskilled or semi-skilled laborers who will work for low pay. Mr. Eastham’s role on the School Board to date has been to avoid the central issues of how to provide adequate education for all the children of the County by raising issue after issue which are peripheral and tangential to this central problem. Mr. Easthams twists statistics and figures to prove his point of view and keeps the School Board and the School System in constant turmoil through use of the ancient Machiavellian technique of “divide and conquer.” There may be no “legal” conflict of interest in Mr. Miller’s appointment (that may yet have to be decided in the courts), but there is an ethical and moral conflict of interest. If Mr. Miller is the honest man of integrity he was touted to be last night he would acknowledge this ethical and moral conflict and not accept this appointment. Rousseau in his Discourse On Political Economy states the following: “There can be no patriotism without liberty, no liberty without virtue, no virtue without citizens; create citizens, and you have everything you need; without them, you will have nothing but debased slaves, from the rulers of the State downwards. To form citizens is not the work of a day; and in order to have men it is necessary to educate them when they are children. Rousseau also wrote the following timely and applicable statement in On Political Economy: Let our country then show itself the common mother of her citizens; let the advantages they enjoy in their county endear it to them; let the government leave them enough share in the public administration to make them feel that they are at home; and let the laws be in their eyes only guarantees of the -Letters To The Editor common liberty. These rights, great as they are, belong to all men: but without seeming to attack them directly, the ill-will of rulers may in fact easily reduce their effect to nothing. The law, which they thus abuse, serves the powerful at once as a weapon of offence, and as a shield against the weak; and the pretext of the public good is always the most dangerous scourge of the people. What is most necessary and perhaps most difficult, in government, is rigid integrity in doing strict justice to all, and above all in protecting the poor against the tyranny of the rich. The greatest evil has already come about when there are poor men to be defended, and rich men to be restrained. It is on the middle classes alone that the whole force of the law is exerted; they are equally powerless against the treasures of the rich and the penury of the poor. The first mocks them, the second escapes them. The one breaks the meshes, the other passes through them.” ELLEN C. MANSON Washington Irresponsible To the editor: Thank you Mr. Johnson, Thank you Mr. Eastham. You have just demonstrated your narrow-mindedness and short-sightedness to the residents of Wakefield District and the rest of Rappahannock County. You have placed Robert Eastham back on the School Board. Here is a man who won’t even educate himself as to proper conduct in a business meeting, who creates dissension and distrust, who would offer our children the least possible and to some, nothing at all. You will not be saving our tax money this way. You probably will cost us all an enormous increase. When Rappahannock children realize that the leaders of the community and their own indifferent parents consider education unimportant they will act accordingly. Since it doesn’t matter whether they learn anything or not as long as the state officials aren’t after us, why should they try? Some will become dropouts. And when our taxes increase to pay for more welfare for young unskilled adults and for more law enforcement to keep disillusioned kids under control, don’t wonder why. It will be because we didn’t care about them to begin with. Quality education in Rappahannock can be had without mortgaging the county if its officials, its parents and its children are willing to work for it and to expect nothing less. We will become expert fund-raisers, we will search for grants and we will offer any personal talent we have. We will take the time to assess how to get the most for our tax dollar and we will send our children into the job market with the best we can offer them. Or we will do nothing and take our chances. To me, the gamble of doing nothing is frightening. We can start by placing officials in office who are truly interested in all the residents of Rappahannock, who are willing to take all interests into consideration and who are fully aware of the responsibility and dignity of their offices. We can attend public meetings to see that our governing body stays balanced and we will remove those officials who for selfish reasons refuse to govern wisely. "> { We can act like adults and unify for our common benefit or we can continue to fractionalize and watch our county become an unhealthy and unhappy place to live. The choice is ours. If we continue along our present route of ignorant indifference I'm afraid that there will soon be no choice. Before this happens it is our duty to ourselves and our children to follow every legal route possible, to overturn the Electoral Board’s appointment of Mr. Robert Eastham and to see that this type of irresponsible action never has a chance to happen again. PHYLLIS IRWIN Flint Hill Washington VFD Commended To the editor: I am writing to commend the Washington, Va., Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department for their performance last Saturday afternoon. When our friend and weekend guest, Scott McCullough, fell in the rocks of Big Devil Stairs and suffered multiple fractures of the head and limbs, the Rescue Squad responded with speed and skill. Under extremely difficult conditions they brought the injured and unconscious young man down the most r dangerous part of Big Devil and out to Rt. 622. During the lower stretch of cross country travel the Washington vehicle blew a tire on the rugged terrain. The Flint Hill ambulance responded quickly to give assistance and Scott was transferred to it without interruption of medical aid. Scott was taken to Warren ton to be stabilized and to be moved by helicopter to the shocktrauma facility at Washington, D.C. But it was not to be. Brain damage was so massive that in spite of all that could be done, he died some twenty minutes after arrival at the Fauquier Hospital. We have spoken with members of the Rescue Squad and we can feel the depth of their concern and in this case, perhaps, frustration. We know and Scott’s parents know that all was done that could be done. All who participated should be proud of their work, now and in the future. With appreciation Gene and Clarissa Leggett Washington Our Rappahannock Heritage —Rappahannock Nwi Photo Courtesy ol Bill Y<i I Real Worth A sage once observed “We are valued either too highly or not high enough; we are never taken at our real worth”. After working for two years in Rappahannock County. I would like to state publicly that the “real worth” of Rappahannock County became apparent to me. Measuring the “real worth” of things is difficult in these days of double digit inflation, . fluctuating gold and oil prices, and the violation of time honored diplomatic immunity. Nonetheless, without sounding too trite, I would like to say that my two years as the Mental Health Clinic Director have taught me the “real worth" of this county and its people. The residents of Rappahannock County have been open and receptive to our services and the various county agencies have readily referred people to us. I want to thank you for giving us a chance to get started in this county. I value your openness to hear about our services and to participate in them when appropriate. For many people. Mental Health Services are - taboo and this reaction is understandable as it is difficult to talk about your problems to another person without embarrassment. In our two years here we have tried to convey Freud’s notion that Mental Health consists in the ability to “love” and to “work”: to love and value ourselves and others and to work productively for our own vested interests and to work productively for the common good. Research Dear Editor, I am currently doing geneological research on the Burke family that lived in Rappahannock County (then a part of Culpeper County) in the early 1800’s. This family includes Silas Brewton Burke, Isaac Burke, and his father Sempson, who was married in 1834 to Elizabeth Weakley. I would appreciate the vtielp of any wf your readers? who .might have information t related to this family. They can call me at 825-3138. or write 3031 Redbud St., Culpeper. VA 22701. Thank you. Jeffrey A.C. Burke Mistaken Identity To the editor: I feel an obligation to inform you of an error in the list of names under the sports award photograph in the May 22 edition of the Rappahannock News. After months of serious training and effort I achieved my goal. Finally, I had something to distinguish me from my twin brother. It was very disappointing to see my picture and a caption that had my brother’s name. Ron M. Dougherty (Editor’s note: Ron, we deeply regret our error and in the future, will make every effort to distinguish between you and your twin.) J any citizen participation was concerned. The right of School Trustee Electoral Board Members to conceal the representations made to them by undisclosed parties whose wishes proved over-riding, and their right to act without explaining and justifying the discharge of their authority may be undisputed. But such exercise of those rights in the face of considerable public -.in volvement seemed arrogant. an4~ -V the powerlessness of citizens to affect school policy was ruthlessly affirmed. We are told that people deser * the government they get. Fortunately, there will be an opportunity for voters to express their wishes on June 17, when the referendum on school board appointments will be held. If you expect to be away on June 17. vote absentee now at the Registrar's office on Thursdays. And if you will be here June 17. be sure to vote yes on the referendum question. Speak to everyone you know who can vote; take responsibility to help the referendum succeed. Let’s have more representative public business because we deserve to be represented. Let's use the experience of May 23 to spur us to good and responsible citizenship rather than to let ourselves give way to despair. Diana Bird Obviously other agencies in the community have similar goals: the Health Depart• ment, the schools, the Sheriffs Department, the lawyers, the physicians, the Welfare Department arid the churches. Each agency has its own approach to teaching the ability to love and to work. Each has its own expertise and methods. We at the Mental Health Ginic hope that ‘‘we are valued neither too highly or not high enough, but we are taken at our real worth”. I would like to give special thanks to our Advisory Board, Governing Board, and Chapter 10 Board members who supported us during these two years. Also the Mental Health Association, the Retired Teachers Association, the Ministerial Association, and various members of Alcoholics Anonymous have helped us and supported us. Finally our thanks go to Sarah Latham and Daphne Hutchinson of the Rappahannock News who have given us excellent coverage in our Public Relations efforts. JAMES M. McGARVEY, MA Outraged To the editor: Those who appeared on Friday night to support Mr. Guy Foster and Mr. Charles Eldred, and who presented petitions indicating broad community support for their elections to the school board must accept with humility the fact that their appeals fell on deaf ears. The outrage and injury felt by many citizens who attended the May 23 meeting of the School Trustee Electoral Board must not be allowed to fester and poison community relations. After some soul-searching, I decided that the shock 1 experienced was owing to a sense of being heartlessly ignored by persons whom unaccountable power has hardened - unknowingly, perhaps, but surely. The afternoon before the meeting, word had gotten around the county that the decision had already been made to reappoint Mr. Robert Eastham and to replace Mr. Charles Eldred. What happened at the meeting seemed to confirm the idea that the action taken had been previously determined and that the meeting itself was a sham insofar as Sad Commentary To the editor: Last Friday night the Electoral Trustee Board reached new heights in arrogance. Despite numerous favorable comments and a petition with over 250 names from Wakefield District in support of Mr. Guy Foster, the board reconfirmed the choice of Mr. Robert Eastham for the School Board. The selection perpetuates the rancor and chaos that have characterized Mr. Eastham’s dealings with the school administration, teachers and public for the past year. It's rather telling that none of those on the Electoral Trustee Board and only a few of those who spoke in favor of Mr. Eastham have children in the public schools. It's a sad commentary on the state of our democratic society when individuals in positions of power put their own narrow self interests above the avowed interests of the majority most directly affected by their decisions. Throughout all segments of society, there is increasing cynicism and disillusionment with government in general. There’s little wonder why. The tail has wagged the dog again. JERRY W. MARTIN, M.D.

Help For The Battered Wife By BOBTREANOR Lately we find that more and more is being written about the plight of the 'battered wife”; that is, the woman who is experiencing severe physical and emotional abuse at the hands of her husband. Numerous studies have shown this to be a widespread problem involving families from every social, racial and economic group; yet many women put up with it for years and never seek help to improve the harmful and potentially dangerous situation. There are few things more harmful to a wife or children’s emotional health (to say nothing of physical wellbeing) than an atmosphere in which the father threatens or physically Model 16287 21" SP Whirlwind II 21" self-propelled Toro Side Bagger, the Whirlwind II11 Deluxe.

There are many factors involved in why some husbands threaten or actually beat their wives. Some men find it difficult to cope with job pressures and family responsibilities and resort to taking it out on their wives. Other men who drink heavily tend to abuse their wives only when intoxicated. Still others were raised in families where wife abuse was considered normal behavior and they tend to carry on this harmful tradition. Whatever the reason, wife abuse is not acceptable behavior and a situation where a husband resorts to verbally or physically battering his wife points to a breakdown in family life and to a marriage in serious trouble. For their part many women prolong this distructive behavior by doing nothing about it in the hope that the problem will go away. Like men, some women come from homes where their own mothers were subjected to abuse and therefore view it as a normal occurrence that a wife must endure. Others fear public exposure and go to great lengths to conceal the problem from family and friends. Often the battered wife puts up with the battering because at the time of crisis there is no place she can go with children to get away from the husband. Frequently there is little money with which to move out even overnight, and some women do not wish to be a burden on their parents or other family members. Also, some wives fear their husbands’ retribution when they return home after leaving. As a result of these and similar factors we find confused, frightened women who feel they have no options and nowhere to turn for help. Fortunately there is indeed help for these women in Rappahannock County. One way of seeking aid is to TO REDISCOVER HOW GOOD A STRAWBERRY CAN TASTE!

Easthani And Miller Appointed Members (Continued from Page 1) Wakefield District,” Krebser concluded. Hubert Gilkey, board of supervisor member from Wakefield District, added his support to Foster. “I feel like he will do us a good job,” Gilkey stated. Reporting on a conversation several weeks ago with Robert Eastham, Mrs. Lilo Foster said the incumbent had insisted he would not accept appointment for more than his original four-year term. “He said they could get down on their knees and beg him and he wouldn’t accept.” Charlotte Tummeyer, a life-long resident of Wakefield District, noted Guy Foster’s involvement with the schools and his concern for education. She reported that she personally had collected many of the signatures on petitions in his favor “and I didn’t have to twist anyone's arm.” Speaking out for his own candidacy, Guy Foster noted what a diffucult and controversial job it is to serve on a school board. Citing his qualifications as part of a management team for Boise Cascade, Foster said he's worked “for a livelihood” with operating budgets, organized and unorganized labor (including problems with drugs, alcohol, tardiness and discipline) and federal programs and agencies. Believes In Youth "I’ve been involved with local projects because I believe in the young people of Rappahannock County. We’ve got a pretty good crop of kids here in Rappahannock and we should give them the best possible education that we feasibly can.” Foster said. Describing himself as a resident and a taxpayer, H. S. Barksdale stated that he has demonstrated his interest in education for 50 years even though he has never had children in the school system. Barksdale cited his efforts 50 years ago when he supervised more than 100 4-H members during his employment as county extension agent. More recently, he noted, he’s worked to raise money for the Northern Virginia 4-H Center that ■ is -WifcuTly *i being— constructed in Warren County. “I think we have a man on the board now who’s qualified and doing a good job.” Barksdale said. "I strongly represent the reappointment of Richard Eastham,” he concluded. “That’s Robert Eastham,” corrected trustee Granville - Eastham, brother of the incumbent school board member. “I go along with Mr. Barksdale,” added Nelson Atkins. “Incidentally, Mr. Atkins brought a petition with 25 signatures,” interjected trustee chairman Ned Johnson. Lack Of Pride “Supporting the ap pointment of Guy Foster, Phyllis Irwin noted "a distinct lack of pride in the public school system" on the part of students, teachers and county officials. “We don’t want to offer our children the minimum...We want to offer them the best we can,” she said, calling for local officials, parents and students to work together to find ways of improving public education here. “And I don’t mean mortgage the county to the hilt," she emphasized. Noting that she regularly attended all school board meetings, Olga Fontaine added her support to Guy Foster’s nomination. In the county’s public school system, she said, "we need all we have and more.” Arthur Smoot, who said he has four children who have completed school in Rappahannock and one still enrolled, described Robert Eastham as “one of the most capable men in this county" and called for his reappointment. Recalling the list of requirements for school board members handed out by the trustees at last year’s meeting, Mary Beth Martin noted that Eastham didn’t meet many. "Guy Foster does," she added. What the trustees listed were not requirements but “suggested criteria,” Johnson interjected. Why weren t they handed out at this meeting?” Martin asked. “Could it be because Mr. Eastham didn’t meet the criteria?” Johnson claimed this was not the case. Noting her 30 years in the county, six as a teacher in the public schools. Charlotte Nichols said she couldn't recall teachers in past years ever having a moment’s doubt that they were fully supported by the school board. This confidence has been replaced by dissension and lack of trust, she said. Positive Feelings Mrs. Nichols called for the appointment of Guy Foster as a school board member, adding that he will be supportive of teachers and administrators ^and~pnak?vit. . possible for positive feelings "Shout the” county’s educational system to be revitalized. “We need a school board member with children in the schools because it’s a fact that when your children are involved, you’re involved,” she continued. She agreed that it’s important for school board members to have good business sense but maintained it’s even more important that they demonstrate concern for quality education. •**1 guess I’m just naive,” remarked Lilo Foster, noting that she was born in Germany, not in this country. “But I understand that democracy is supposed to represent the people.” Johnson answered yes. “If that’s so, we have 250 signatures from the people of Wakefield District,” enough to show support from the people for Guy Foster, she countered. "We do live in a democracy," Johnson acknowledged but maintained that the trustees have been given the responsibility of appointing school board members as a means to “leave politics out of this matter.” His remarks about omitting politics sparked derisive laughter from the audience. Nelson Atkins interjected that the trustees aren’t holding an election for school board. "Those petitions may be right or they may not be,” he declared, noting that Eastham is also a taxpayer. Themselves Petitioners In response to the apparent challenge to the petitions for Foster. Krebser pointed out that Atkins and others had been all in favor of petitions when signatures were the deciding factor in a vote by the supervisors against proposed gun ordinances several months ago. "You all went out and collected signatures then,” Krebser stated to a round of supportive applause from the audience. I was against those petitions all the way,” Atkins countered. “Mr. Atkins implied that Robert Eastham is a taxpayer and Guy Foster is not,” noted Charlotte Turnmeyer. “Guy Foster is a taxpayer too,” she stated. "1 pay no real estate property tax,” Foster said, acknowledging that he doesn’t own land in the county. He reported that he did. however, pay $7,000 in federal income tax and $1,600 in state taxes last year. "Somewhere along the line, when I made out those checks, I sure felt like a taxpayer,” he said. Challenging support for Eastham, Peggy Sutphin asked Barksdale if he would like to have one school board member run the entire school system. “I think that would be very appropriate,” replied the chajrman of the Rappahannock * planning commission. . . Herbert Foster asked why a new appointee should be considered when Wakefield District already has a “good man” on the school board. He asked if the opposition to Eastham was based on the incumbent’s opposition to raises for school teachers. Identifying himself as the spokesman for Rappahannock’s farmers, Foster said, “We’ve got to have somebody on the board to fight these taxes.” Mary Beth Martin criticized Eastham’s repeated insistence as a board member that overcrowded Rappahannock County High School has 43 per cent excess space, figured on the basis of IS square feet per student. “Minimum space of IS feet Phosphorus and corn Half the land is hungry. About half the land where corn is grown is low in phosphorus. If you're a corn grower, chances are your corn yields could be improved by adding phosphorus to your soil. Don't leave it to chance. We recommend an expert soil analysis to take the guesswork out of applying phosphorus. Before you make any fertilizer decision, call us. Helping you produce more is what we're here for. \. Lime & Fertilizer Specialists for 35 Years J. C. Digges ft Sous White Poet, Virginia 837-1305 Agricoj® doesn't include enough ttoom to stick your hands out and turn around," she said, citing figures from John Hammill, state department of education, that show the average per pupil space allowance in Virginia high schools is 125 square feet Dr. Krebser also challenged assertions made by Eastham during his year on the board in which the Wakefield representative (1) questioned the need for providing education to the mentally retarded and learning disabled, (2) described special education teachers as babysitters and (3) denigrated the value of experience in teaching. The issue of replacing Eastham with Guy Foster "has nothing to do with taxes. It has to do with the decency with which we educate our children and Mr. Eastham doesn’t have it," Krebser maintained. Nancy Nicholas noted that Guy Foster has been through the county’s public schools, gone on to further his education and so understands the problems children entering college from RCHS will face. actions of the board during the last year,” she stated. Juanita Miko claimed that Newbill Miller has more integrity than any man she’s ever known. “He was born and raised in the county. He understands Rappahannock. It’s different here—God’s country,” she said, sparking applause from Miller’s supporters. “I’d like to see my tax dollars wisely spent,” Miko said, adding that she thought Miller believes in quality education. ”It’s completely necessary for somebody on the school board to have children in school,” said Brad Fisher, in support of Eldred’s reappointment. “Charles Eld red has done a fine job,” he insisted. Tom Lee added his endorsement for Miller. Maintaining that both candidates want quality education George Davis argued that Miller will have more “input and respect, justifiably or otherwise, from the board of supervisors” in getting a capital outlay program underway. Chair Relinquished ‘Til step down from the chair to nominate Robert Eastham,” said Johnson when there ^ere no further speakers on the Wakefield appointment. "That in effect elects Robert Eastham but I guess we should vote,” he added after Granville Eastham seconded the nomination. Trustee Christine Johnston was the only dissenter of the three, voting against Eastham. “If you're not going to listen to the people, would you like us to leave?” asked Raye Rector. There was no response from the trustees and the majority of the audience, most from Wakefield District, left the auditorium, some in tears. “I hope I’m not wasting my time,” began William "Yogi” Bear, leading off the speakers on the Hampton District appointment. Citing the excellent job done in the past year by Charles Eldred, Bear called for his continuance on board and handed the trustees petitions with 81 Hampton' District ! signatures in Eldred’s support. Ellen Manson added her endorsement, describing Eldred as "well-educated and fiscally responsible” and noting that he has three children in the public schools. Conflict Of Interest The trustees were reminded of the actions of circuit court Judge Rayner V. Snead in filling vacancies on the electoral trustee board two years ago. At that time, Snead declined to reappoint George Muth solely on the grounds that - Muth’s membership on other local governing boards raised the possibility of conflict of interest charges. Muth was a member of the Rappahannock board of zoning appeals while Newbill Miller is both a planning commissioner and mayor of the town of Washington, it was pointed out. If the possibility of conflict existed in Muth’s case, it certainly exists even more so in the case of Miller. Therefore, the trustees were asked to follow the example Judge Snead set in attempting to avoid even the appearance of conflict. Turning to Commonwealth’s Attorney Douglas Baumgardner, Johnson verified that Miller’s appointment to the school board would not constitute a legal conflict of interest. 1 The trustees were reminded that George Muth’s continuance on the trustee board while also a member of the board of zoning appeals didn’t constitute a legal conflict either. Likewise Pauline Bruce voiced support for the Hampton District incumbent, adding that she’d been very pleased with Eldred’s performance on the board during the past year. Henry Hundson said he supported Newbill Miller. “I won’t go into his qualifications.... Everybody knows Newbill,” he said. Stating that he’d known Miller all his life, Allen Smoot supported his candidacy also. Steve Critzer said he’d grown up with Miller’s oldest son and had found the candidate always concerned and interested in education. He described Miller as “a real fair man.” VaBdadag Year's Actions Sharon Kilpatrick said that Eldred has been a hardworking, conscientious member of the board since his appointment last year. Noting that the trustees had re-appointed Eastham, she suggested also reconfirming Eldred’s original term. "Then there can be no questions regarding the (Before the meeting began, the three members of the trustee board met privately with Baumgardner in a car parked in front of the ^elementary school, apparently for a conference on legal matters relating to the school board appointments.) Jack Jenkins stated support for Miller, maintaining that “the kids aren’t getting the education that they should get.” Mary Ann Jenkins, George Jenkins Jr. and Barbara Jenkins added their endorsement as did Wallace Critzer, Nelson Lane, Pete Estes, H. S. Barksdale and Jens Tholand. Speaking on his own behalf. Miller said he is distressed to see the divisions in Rappahannock and that he held no animosity towards those who opposed his appointment to the board. “Up until 1975, I believed Rappahannock had quality education," he said. Then, Miller reported, he tried to get his son with scores on scholastic aptitude tests in the top five per cent of his class into college. The ranking that qualified in the top five per cent at RCHS fell (Continued on Page 10) H&J Has A New Hardware Department Yard and Garden Tools, Paint Brushes, Kitchenware, Buckets, Tubs, Hammers and many other items. { W* Ml Groceries, Ice, Beer, Wire sod Shell Gee end Oil.

"That’s a political decision that the board of supervisors is going to have to make," countered Miller. Rescue and Fire service is “volunteer and I hope it stays volunteer," he added. Fannon agreed that volunteer fire and rescue squads probably shouldn't be addressed under capital improvements. “But where should it be? It needs to go somewhere. ” “The way it’s going, some of them are going to come under historical preservation,” commented Herbert Barksdale, in apparent reference to financial problems and potential bankruptcy faced by several county fire and rescue organizations. By consensus, the board commissioners agreed to strike "excellent” from the description of coverage but made no other changes relating to fire and rescue. 4-Lane Route 211 Pete Estes proposed that the planning commission send a letter of recommendation to the supervisors along with the comprehensive plan, advocating that the board push for four-laning Route 211 from Washington to Sperryville. Capelle suggested that this recommendation be included within the plan itself. “It’s pretty well on the bottom of the highway department’s priority list...You’re going to have to push the project if you want to see it completed.” Estes noted that the plan identifies the Flatwoods area between Sperryville and Washington as a location for future commercial development. He added that traffic from the new Farmers Co-op already presents a hazard there with just the existing two-lane road. “The commercial value of that land was pretty obvious years ago,” Estes continued, predicting that landowners in the area will eventually request rezonings to more intensive non-residential uses. He questioned how the county will be able to deal with the requests without at least a plan for the future four-laning of Route 211 to Sperryville. The planning commissioners voted to add recommendation and encouragement of four-laning 211 from Washington to Sperryville to the plan’s section on transportation and to ask the supervisors to throw their formal support behind the project. Capelle noted that Miller, as the commission’s representative, can also emphasize the point at the supervisors' public hearing on the plan. After agreeing on a couple of minor changes in the plan, adding or dropping a few words here and there, and after hearing from Capelle that maps for the communities of Chester Gap and Amissville have been revised in response to errors pointed out by citizens, the planning commissioners voted unanimously to recommend approval of the plan to both the supervisors and tne Washington town council. At Miller’s suggestion, the commissioners also approved sending a letter to the Planning District board, expressing their appreciation for the excellent work done by Capelle. ‘‘I don’t think I’ve ever worked with anyone more cooperative who's a public official,” Miller concluded.

The revised WPCAC and Temporary Surcharge Rider are not intended to change the amount of the fuel revenues that the Cooperative would collect, but the revised WPCAC will shorten the lag that presently occurs in the collection of fuel expenses or in the refunding of fuel credits and will affect monthly fuel adjustment factors billed to the consumers. The revision that the Cooperative requests to make in the WPCAC would allow a differential factor to be added to the monthly fuel charges as presently computed to correct on a six month average basis the net difference (whether increase or decrease) between the actual fuel expenses paid by the Cooperative to its wholesale supplier in the preceding six months and the fuel revenues collected by the Cooperative from its consumers in the same six months. The implementation of the Temporary Surcharge Rider Is to recover fuel expenses that have been experienced by the Cooperative, but not yet recovered from the consumers under the present WPCAC. The Temporary Surcharge Rider will be automatically cancelled once the deferred fuel expenses have been recovered. The proposed clause and Temporary Surcharge Rider are on file with and may be seen at the offices of the State Corporation Commission, Blanton Building, Richmond, Virginia or may be seen at the offices of the Cooperative in Fredericksburg, Virginia; Culpeper, Virginia; and Bowling Green, Virginia. Any interested person who objects to the approval of the proposed revision in the Wholesale Power Cost Adjustment Clause and the Temporary Surcharge Rider and wishes to be heard on such objection should so advise the Commission on or before June 25, 1980, by writing to the State Corporation Commission, Document Control Center, P.O.

Chairman 29+ Opening Spirits were high, as were colored balloons which pervaded the atmosphere at the banner opening Saturday of Rappahannock Farmers’ Market on Route 211 west of Washington. There were more vendors than ever before, the broadest spectrum of fresh produce, vegetable and flower plants, canned goods, home made bread and other baked goods, cut flowers, fresh eggs, and a greater variety of craft products, according to a market spokesman. Speaker for the occasion, Mary Beth Martin, who is actively engaged in working for improvements in the educational system and for ERA. complimented those responsible for establishing the market and providing the outlet, thereby improving the economy of the county. She urged vendors and customers alike to spread the word here and in surrounding areas, and urge participation in the venture. Vendors and customers formed a circle and presented testimonials for the maiket, citing what each could do to help the market, each other and the economy of Rappahannock.

SAM NEAD EALTY Homes‘Farms and Country Real Estate Washington, Va. 22747 Phone 987-8709 Helen Snead-Associate BtALtoi NPEA Campground (Continued from Page 2) variance, which ever was applicable for the property, according to the zoning administrator. McNear maintained he had no authority to shut the campground down during last year’s meeting. “The main objection was the noise. I had no jurisdiction over that,” he said, adding that he had directed complaints to the sheriff s department. Gardiner emphasized that a permit for a campground has never been issued—only a building permit for “a church, a little parish hall and restrooms.” Asked then how the health department authorized the camper hookups, Gardiner answered that the connections had been installed by Rev. Savage without approvals from any agency. "You did that on your own,” he told the NPEA spokesman. Mitzie Young asked what kind of precedent was set when individuals were allowed to act and then secure permission after the fact. "It’s been done before,” Gardiner replied. “1 don’t think the rioters in Miami asked first.” McNear had been advised that camper hook-ups were going to be put in a week before the connections were actually installed, Mrs. Carl Bischoff reported, noting that the zoning administrator said the hook-ups couldn't be added to NPEA facilities. “We have violations of the zoning ordinance all the time,” replied Gardiner. If the violations aren’t reported, he said, nothing can be done. The camper hook-up violation was reported, Mrs. Bishoff argued. “If you reported it, you should have put it in writing and kept a copy,” Gardiner countered. Administrator Informed Citizens in the area kept the zoning administrator advised of what was going on throughout the construction at the NPEA campground, according to Doris Donald. She said McNear told her that the camper hookups could be installed but not legally used and if campers were connected, they would be moved out. “We told him they were hooked-up but they weren’t moved out,” she stated. She added that she’d also talked with a member of the board of zoning appeals. Questioned as to whether the original building permit for the church was valid, Gardiner described the authorization issued by McNear as ‘‘a very Jex building permit” but added that its issuance was not the perogative of the BZA. When McNear began to explain his actions in granting the permit, Gardiner interrupted. “Let’s cut it off right there. That’s a question for the zoning administrator not the board of zoning appeals,” he stated, suggesting that McNear discuss the issue after the meeting. Nearby land owner David Schaefer suggested that NPEA be restricted to an open air church with no sound amplifiers, no additional trailer hook-ups, compliance with all sanitary requirements, parking only on the nine acres with the property to be screened and outdoor lights directed away from adjacent residences. In addition, he proposed that the site be inspected for compliance with sanitation and erosion regulations once a year. Letter Of Law “I think it’s our right to have a decision made on the letter of the law,” stated Floyd Grigsby in response to Board Appointments (Continued from Page 6) into the bottom 25 per cent of those applying to VP1 that year, according to Miller. When he raised this point to school administrators, he said, he was immediately labeled anti-education. "They circled the wagons and started attacking me," Miller claimed. “Since 1975, things haven’t changed,” he said, reporting that the top scores on SATs by Rappahannock students fall into the bottom 25 per cent of applicants at Randolph Macon, University of Virginia, University of Richmond, William and Mary and other Virginia colleges and universities. “That’s the only reason why I subject myself to what’s going to come," he stated, in explaining his candidacy for the school board. He said that everyone’s for good education. "It’s a matter of method....The only way to solve the problem is to admit you have a problem,” Miller said, charging that school officials "misuse figures, misuse facts" to make it appear that county students are doing better educationally in comparison with students elsewhere. "I think their methods are wrong and I think the results prove their methods are wrong," Miller maintained, adding that he'd be delighted to serve on the board. “And I assure you that I’ll have the time.” Distortion Charged Arthur Smoot charged The Rappahannock News with distorting accounts printed in the paper. “I know how things have been twisted around in that paper," he said, suggesting that school board meetings be recorded and the facts printed in the press. Karen Bear countered that The Rappahannock News reporter attends every school board meeting and “writes every single word exactly as it’s spoken. I support her,” Bear concluded, setting off another round of applause from the audience. Diane Wood, identifying herself as a landowning taxpayer, said she cried for joy last year when she received her contract to teach third grade at the elementary school. “I started out as the most gung ho teacher you’ve ever seen,” she told the trustees. “But I’ve grown almost to despair.” she added, charging that Eastham in particular doesn’t understand the job of teaching. “Charles Eldred is one of the few positive voices on the school board,” she stated, supporting his reappointment. Jennings Hobson noted that the appointments of Hampton and Wakefield Graduate of Texas A&M Lisa Louise Luttrell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Burrell M. Luttrell of Silsbee, Texas, was graduated May 3 from Texas A. & M. University. She will begin her graduate studies at the university in the fall. Miss Luttrell is the granddaughter of L.H. Luttrell and niece of Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Dennis of Amissville. District had to be reconfirmed due to a technicality. Stating tha| the trustees had followed through with their original intentions of last year by reappointing Eastham, he asked that they do the same with Eldred. Claybert Smoot endorsed Miller, maintaining that he “can handle tax dollars wisely.” Ruth Noce added her support for Washington’s mayor, stating that he understands the preparation young people need for college. Kathryn Dougherty, “a taxpayer with children in the schools,” was the final speaker, supporting Eldred’s reappointment. “I’m going to step down from the chair again and nominate Newbill Miller,” said Johnson, again finding a second from Eastham. As with the previous appointment, the vote was twoone with Christine Johnston opposed. Before the meeting could be adjourned, Esther Settle asked the trustees how they could ignore the overwhelming support for Guy Foster and return Eastham to the board and. in the same breath, replace Eldred with Miller. She didn’t get an answer. Drop-In Child Care Drop-In Child Care will be available for infants, toddlers, pre-schoolers, and school-age children at Sursum Corda Day Care Center beginning June 2.

Maurice O'Bannon 987-8713 Eddie Wayland 987-8153 Bud Corder 636-5891 Admiral Gardiner’s assertion that no decision from the BZA would make all parties happy. “If I’m late for work because of this meeting and I'm driving 60 miles an hour and get stopped by a trooper, he’s not going to try to make me happy,” Grigsby said. Rather, the trooper will apply the law—an example Grigsby proposed for the BZA to follow. Gardiner announced that the BZA would issue a permit with restrictions for just this year's camp meeting from June 20-28 and would then send the matter back to the board of supervisors for clarification of all points brought up during the two BZA sessions. Savage maintained that with 150 to 400 people attending the camp meeting services, some amplification of sound was needed. BZA member Pete Estes asked if 400 would be the maximum crowd. “We don’t never know,” Savage replied. In addition, he asked if the amplification is turned off at a specified time "and people in the hall are still praying, how are we going to stop them?...Anyone who’s ever been to a Holy Roller meetin’ knows we pray and we pray with all our hearts," Savage said, adding that it’s "not saintly” to stop people from praying. After a challenge from Washington lawyer David Konick, Commonwealth’s Attorney > Douglas Baumgardner assured the BZA members that they could apply the noise control regulations in Article 13 of the zoning ordinance to the NPEA variance. Gardiner noted that, under Article 13. operations at the campground must cease at 10 p.m. ‘‘As far as people remaining to pray, I don't think any Christian will ask people to stop praying at a certain time." The vote to stop amplification at 10 p.m. and apply noise controls in Article 13 was unanimous. Savage maintained that NPEA couldn’t set a definite time for closing the grounds each night during the camp meeting because the ministers have no way of knowing how long worshipers will pray. ‘‘What time are you suggesting?” asked Estes. Special Services “If you’ve never been to a Pentacostal meeting, you’re not able to fully grasp our kind of service...We don’t sit there with our hands folded.” Savage replied. By 11 p.m., “the noise would definitely be minimized...We would be drawing to a close," he said. He added that the climax of the service comes as the preaching nears an end. somewhere between 10 and 11 p.m. By another unanimous vote, the BZA set 11 p.m. as the time at which organized services will cease. The board also ordered reflectors inI 1 A stalled on all lights that shine onto adjacent property and stipulated that beams must be directed away fron^ residences. Gardiner noted that the 13 camper outlets are illegal. "Whether they remain or not depends on the board of supervisors," he said. The BZA agreed to allow one hook-up to electricity and water, but not to sewer, for this year’s featured visiting minister from Oklahoma. For waste disposal, the dump station is to be used, subject to approval from the health department. Rev. Powers noted that, essentially, NPEA won’t need the hook-ups if allowed to use the dumping station. He maintained, however that not being permitted to connect to electricity will be a ‘‘big inconvenience" to other campers using the site. “It will be like running a home without lights.” he said. Gardiner also objected to the motion from Kermit Weakley, limiting electrical hook-ups to only the single camper. "For ten days only. I’d modify it to allow more," he said. Weakley repeated his motion to allow one camper to connect to water and electricity only with no sewer hookups allowed at all and won unanimous endorsement from the rest of the board. Limits On Camper Numbers Baumgardner advised the BZA that limits could be put on the number of campers allowed on the property but Gardiner balked. "If there were 100 or something like that. we would put limitations but with the numbers they had last year, it's not necessary," the chairman said after Rev. Savage reported 28 campers as the most on the site last year. Charged with compromising. Admiral Gardiner vigorously denied the accusation. “We're not compromising anything." he stated. “We're trying to arrive at a settlement acceptable to as many residents as possible...We have full authority to deny, to put any condtions we care to put on it. If either side disagrees, they can go to a higher authority.” He acknowledged, however, that the zoning ordinance does not allow for campgrounds in a residential subdivision. The BZA also stipulated that the necessary approvals from the health department must be submitted in writing for its inspection and that adequate trash containers must be provided. In addition, attendance at the camp meeting at any one time during the ten day session was limited to 400. “What if 425 come?" Rev. Savage asked. "If 425 come, we certainly won't expect you to turn them away but if 10,000 come, we expect you to go down to RFK stadium.” the chairman concluded. RAYT. CANNON CO.
