With' the exception of local law enforcement representatives and a delegation from the school board, the supervisors heard only three speakers, all addressing a single issue and all in favor of county-owned cars for the sheriff's department. The allocation of $20,000 to provide three vehicles however, has already been dropped from the proposed budget and there appears little likelihood it will be restored since further cuts are necessary in order to balance outlay with revenue. As it currently stands, the preliminary budget calls for expenditures ot $2.783.160—an increase of approximately 18 per cent over the current year. Using an estimated $121,817 from the county’s accumulated surplus, the tax rate required to support the preliminary budget works out to $4.60 per $100 of assessed value, a jump of 40 cents from the existing rate of $4.20. £ put the supervisors advertised a tax rate of just $4.50 per $100 for Monday’s public hearing. Therefore, as explained by chairman E. P. Luke, the supervisors have two options. They can either cut the budget by $16,000—the amount of revenue generated by ten cents on the levy—or they can readvertise the rate at $4.60, the amount required to support the proposed budget. They failed to follow either course on Monday, delaying action until after another budget meeting, this time an executive session on personnel, set for Thursday morning. The supervisors also scheduled a joint meeting with the school board for Thursday. Sheriff W. A. Buntin put Washington Celebrates ' Old Fashioned July 4th A real old fashioned country Fourth of July affair is in tlie making in the historic town of Washington, Virginia. Tucked snugly into the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the town was originally laid out in 1749 by George Washington. It was the first town named after Washington and still retains the flavor of its early American roots. It is an entirely appropriate setting for a Fourth of July celebration. The streets of the town will come alive at 10 a.m., Friday, the Fourth, when sidewalk shops, craft demonstrations and area stores ring their open-for-business bells. Family fun and marvelous musical entertainment are being planned for the day’s celebrations for residents and visitors alike, while games, buggy rides and a bicycle decoration contest are planned for the youngsters. A program of music will be staged throughout the day at various locations with a charge of SI.00 per person for an all-day ticket. The ladies of the local churches will again have available delicious food and baked goods while the Washington Volunteer Fire Department’s hamburgers, lemonade and pop will be hawked during the dayTo be enjoyed in the shade of the trees. All the village shops will be open to display their wares. Bill Cook will demonstrate the art of weaving split oak baskets. Nol Putnam will be blacksmithing while his wife. Ann Friend Clark, paints her lovely hand thrown pottery. Weaving, canning and spinning are a few of the other fascinating demonstrations planned for the celebration. This country style Fourth of July is planned by the Washington Business Council for the enjoyment of the community and its visitors. All are welcome to join the fun. Washington is located 23 miles west of Warrenton on Route 211 about an hour and 25 minutes drive from “Big Washington”. The festival will open at 10 a.m. and continue until 4 p.m. at which time the fire department will have a marvelous barbeque of chicken and pig roast. The grand finale to the fun-filled day will be the annual fireworks demonstration held at Avon Hall, just down the street. in a final plea for restoring an allocation for county cars but his request-elicited little sympathy from the supervisors. “It’s gotten to the point where county cars are absolutely necessary to keep our personnel...and do an effective job of policing the county,” Buntin stated. Deputies need cars they can depend on and the public deserves the visible presence of law enforcement, Buntin said. According to the sheriff, his department now logs about 10,000 miles per month. “The general public doesn't know we’re out there because they don’t recognize our cars,” he said. Gas prices have doubled in the past two years while mileage reimbursement to the deputies for driving their own vehicles has risen only from 15 cents per mile to 17 cents this year, Buntin continued. “It’s impossible for the deputies to make ends meet on 17 cents per mile.” he said. Buntin noted that the compensation board will lower its milage reim(Continued on Page 2) BZ A Challenged On Camp Variance By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer As anticipated by board of zoning appeals chairman Josef Gardiner, the BZA’s recent decision to grant a temporary campground variance to the Nationwide Pentatostal Evangelistic Association didn't make everybody happy. On Wednesday, adjacent landowners filed a writ of certiorari, requesting the circuit court to review the BZA's decision and asking for a stay to prevent the camp meeting scheduled for June 20-28 from being held. “It's clear from the evidence that the board of Zoning appeals did not properly apply the standards set by the Rappahannock zoning ordinace for granting a variance,” said David Knock, Washington attorney representing the landowners in the suit. “Rather than applying the law as written, the BZA attempted to arrive at a compromise to placate the interested parties and pass the buck to the board of supervisors and zoning administrator. "In granting the variance. Admiral Gardiner stated at a public meeting that he believed this case would not be resolved without litigation. It’s very unfortunate that the board decided to put the burden of litigation on neighboring property owners who bought their land in good faith, relying on the officials of Rappahannock County to enforce the zoning ordinance," Konick said. In the suit, Konick cites the zoning ordinance’s statement of intent for residential subdivision, the zoning designation of the NPEA property, as confirmation that its purpose is to provide low density residential areas for family homes. He notes that in a residential subdivision zone, campgrounds are not permitted by right or with a special use permit. He also points out that the campground was constructed and operated last summer without a variance, special use permit or any other authorization from the zoning administrator. Complaints Sparked Action The application for the campground variance wasn’t filed until after the zoning administrator received numerous complaints from adjoining landowners and subsequently informed NPEA representatives that they were in violation of the county’s ordinances, according to the suit. Following a public hearing on May 8 and a second meeting on May 22. the BZA granted NPEA a temporary variance with conditions for the campground. Konick notes in his suit that the BZA members didn’t vote at either of the public hearings to allow the variance. Instead, he contends, chairman Josef Gardiner announced that a temporary variance with conditions would be granted and then the BZA proceeded to discuss certain condtions, “some, but not all. of which were voted upon at the hearing.” The BZA order granting the variance was subsequently drafted and later endorsed by the members of the board, “one of whom, George M. Muth. was not even present at either of the said meetings,” according to the suit. On the basis of procedural irregularities alone, Konick contends, the BZA’s order granting the variance is null and void since the question of granting the variance was never voted on in public. No Hardship Proved In addition, Konick maintains, neither of the conditions set forth in the Rappahannock zoning ordinance for granting a variance were met. NPEA representatives did not demonstrate a hardship and failed to show that granting the variance wouldn’t be detrimental to adjacent property owners or that the character of the neighborhood wouldn’t be changed, the suit contends.

Move To Use Value Tax Begun By Supervisors At the urging of supervisor H. B. Wood, Rappahannock's board agreed Monday to direct the county planning commission to begin work on a county-wide use value taxation ordinance. After the supervisors voted to set public hearings for July 7 on Rappahannock's first comprehensive plan and C. E. Johnson's agricultural district application. Wood proposed considering land use taxation at the same time. Commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner noted that the possibility of adopting a use value taxation ordinance would first have to be studied by the planning commission before the supervisors could act. "Let’s get it into the works now.” Wood responded. His interest in use value taxation was apparently sparked by Johnson’s application for an agricultural and forcstal district. Under enabling legislation passed by the General Assembly, qualifying land in an approved agricultural district is automatically eligible for use value taxation whether or not the locality has adopted a use. value taxation ordinance. * With use value taxation, land that qualifies is taxed on the basis of its value in agricultural production rather than its speculative value or potential worth in subdivision lots. Whether in an ag district or under a county-wide use value assessment ordinance, land must meet certain criteria. including specifications on length of time in agricultural use and productivity, to be eligible for use value benefits. The major difference between the two is that an ag Coffey Is Special Teacher For Special Youngsters By DAPHNE HITCHI1NSON Rappahannock Nchu Staff ^ ritcr Betsy Coffey’s elementary classroom is a special version of the little red school house. She spans the same range with her individualized in Rappahannock New. Photo/ Daphne Hutchlnaon YOUNGSTERS IN BETSY COFFEY’S special education class practiced every day for the track and field events in Special Olympic games. In addition to morning activities outside with Coffey, they had extra afternoon training sessions with physical education teacher Cathy Lowe. AU the work payed off as each contestant won a chest full of ribbons in the Special Olympics. struction as did the old fashioned school marms in generations past who taught eight or ten grades in a single room. The only difference is that in her special education group, progress is measured by developmental level and skill mastery rather than by grade. But no matter how it’s gauged, the difference between Betsy Coffey’s students in ability, in maturity and in educational attainment is staggering. Some will learn to read, balance a checkbook, drive a car and other skills necessary to get along in a complicated world. Others will learn only the arts of survival—how to dress, comb their hair and tie their shoes. She has students classified as educable mentally retarded with near normal IQs and youngsters who are trainable with IQs of below 55. And this year, she has two students who aren’t retarded at all although they were labeled as such. Both have problems—one a severe learning disability and the other a serious emotional disturbance—that showed up as mental retardation following testing three years ago. Then during the required tri-annual reevaluation completed recently, the diagnosis was reversed. Next year, neither will be in a class for the mentally retarded. Betsy Coffey works with Tony, a five-year-old who has yet to master verbal communication. His developmental level is around three years, the time at which children naturally build up motor skills by running, skipping. leaping and hopping. As every mother remembers, youngsters at that age can get completely absorbed in turning arms into windmills and chubby little legs into the wheels of a locomotive. In that respect, Tony is no different from the normal child at the same developmental level. He’s constant motion, exploring his own muscles and the art of movement. At the other end of the spectrum. Coffey has students who are only mildly retarded. To an observer untrained in special education, they’re like every other child. These youngsters follow basically the same educational program in elementary school as do regular students. They just take things slower. A typical day for Coffey's class starts with a social studies program broadcast on educational television. The current series began by focusing on neighborhoods and expanded to include broader concepts. Coffey noted. During a visit two weeks ago, the kids were watching a show that stressed the importance of rules and how regulations work for everyone’s protection. The message made an ) district must be comprised of 500 acres, although the properties included may be owned by different people, while five-acre parcels qualify for use value under a countywide ordinance. Supervisor Wood noted that not all farmers have 500 acres or are located within mite? of <n*- agricultural district that they may join. No Benefit Now With Rappahannock's current assessments, property owners would derive no benefits from land use. As an example, compare Rappahannock to neighboring Orange County. According to Joseph Samuels, commissioner of revenue in Orange, land values there for property not receiving land use run from $400 to $1,500 per acre with the average at about $800 under 100 per cent fair market value assessment. Applying that county’s current tax rate of 50 cents per $100. taxes on an acre work out to an average of $40. According to Samuels. Orange follows state recommendations, based on soil types, to determine the value of property receiving use value taxation. The state impact on at least one youngster who spotted his neighbor busy with a pencil. "Oh. you wrote on my desk!" John exclaimed. “That's against the rules.” Language Studies Coffey has a morning block devoted to language. Her older students work independently in their English books, the grade level of the assignment dictated by their educational attainment, not by age. One may be at the second grade tContinued on Page 4) recognizes eight classifications of farm land valued from $50 to $520 per acre, Samuels said, adding that Orange County includes only seven of the eight classes with an average worth of $400 per acre. For horticultural land, values run from $160 to $730 per acre. Samuels noted that Orange allows use value taxation on agricultural and horticultural land only—not on forestal and open space, the other two categories permitted by the state. (Continued on Page 6) Supervisors Approve Fire School Grant At a special meeting last Thursday morning, the Rappahannock supervisors approved a grant of $4,835 from the state Office of Fire Services Training for improvements to the Amissville fire school facility. The county will front the money for roof repairs and new lintels over the doors and windows in the building used for fire fighter training. The Office of Fire Services Training will then reimburse the county for all verified contractual expenses, not to exceed $4,835. The project must be completed by June 15 in order to meet the grant deadline. Paul Poling, president of the county’s Fire and Rescue Association, assured the supervisors that Smith Cattleguard and other contractors involved will have all work finished by that time. "This is a project to help us in the county upgrade our fire fighting facilities," said supervisor chairman E. P. Luke. "What we’re doing is standing behind the $4,835, he explained. According to Poling, fire fighters from the city ot Falls Church and the counties ot Fairfax. Fauquier. Rappahannock. Culpeper, Orange. Warren and (Continued on Page 2) *

Variance Opposed (Continued from Page 1) In fact, Konick notes, opponents to the campground presented evidence that the NPEA’s proposed use would interfere with the adjoining landowners' use of their property, would have a detrimental effect on property values and would change the character of the district. At the BZA’s public hearing the NPEA representatives mentioned hardship only once. They maintained that a denial of the campground variance would work a hardship in that visiting preachers and others attending the ten-day camp meeting would have to stay outside of the community since Rappahannock has few public overnight facilities. According to Konick. hardship must relate to the physical characteristics of the property involved in the variance. Since NPEA representatives knew there were few motels in Rappahannock when they purchased their Castleton property, any hardship arising out of lack of overnight facilities in the community is strictly self imposed and has no bearing on the variance request, he maintains. Addressing the conditions imposed as part of the temporary variance, Konick notes that the noise restrictions in Article 13 of the zoning ordinance apply to commercial, industrial, com mercial - re creational, institutional, multi-family housing, condominiums and trailer park uses and are therefore "inappropriate and insufficient to protect the interests of neighboring property owners" in a residential subdivision district. Allowing sound amplification until 10 p.m. “will make peaceful, quiet or ordinary conversation... impossible" and will prevent families from enjoying rest, quiet or sleep, he contends. Noting that the county has no equipment for monitoring the noise limits applied in the campground variance. Konick maintains the restrictions are therefore unenforceable. The variance sets a limit of 400 on the number of persons to be allowed on the NPEA property "for the purpose of attending religious services." Konick argues that 400 Supervisors Approve Grant (Continued from Page 1) Madison participate in the annual fire school held each year in October. All major upkeep on the building since it was constructed in 1%3 has been through donations, either of time or money, Poling noted. The project financed by the grant will allow for additional training on how to ventilate a burning building, a critical part of fire fighting. Poling said. In the first year of operations, the fire school had 28 persons enrolled. “Now, we’re able to run as many as 208 through at one Tennis Anyone? The Rappahannock Recreation is sponsoring a Men and Women's singles tennis tournament which has a deadline for entries Monday. June 9. To qualify for playing, you must be a resident or landowner in Rappahannock County; entry fee of $2 must be paid by June 9 along with registration; each player must furnish one can of new tennis balls. Two out of three sets will be played and in the event of a 6-6 set, a 9-point tie-breaker will be used. The schedule of draw will be posted at Bradford’s Store in Flint Hill on Tuesday, June 10.

The finals are scheduled for Saturday. June 28 at the Krebser’s court at Huntly. Women’s finals will be held at 2 p.m., followed by the men’s finals. time." Poling reported. According to the fire and rescue representative, there have been no complaints from the community regarding the annual fire school since objections to storage of flamable liquids were resolved when the school facility first opened. Supervisor Hubie Gilkey. active in Chester Gap’s volunteer fire and rescue department and a participant in the annual fire school, emphasized that the project does not involve enlarging the building or changing its dimensions. “The only thing that's changing is the roof," he said. , The board voted ^Unanimous authorization for Luke to sign the grant contract on behalf of the supervisors.—D. H. persons will constitute a nuisance to neighboring property owners and maintains that this condition is also unenforceable since there’s no way to determine who is on the nine-acre premises for the purpose of attending services and who is there for other reasons. As the conditions impose no limits on the number of campers, mobile homes or recreational vehicles that may be on the NPEA property, there is no way to make a determination on compliance with health department regulations as required in the variance, according to the suit. Currently, the NPEA has a health department permit for a sewer system with a 960 gallon septic tank listed as serving a church. According to a health department official. this system is adequate for a congregation of approximately 40 persons, meeting for hour-long services once or twice a week. Under the latest available health department regulations, sewage must be held in a septic tank for a minimum of 30 hours before dispersal through a drain field. This means that N PEA’s 960 gallon tank has a capacity of 32 gallons per hour, an average of four toilet flushes. (The standard toilet uses eight gallons of water for each flush.) Using the health department's institutional rate of 50 gallons per day per person and figuring on 400 people, the number that attended last year's NPEA camp meeting, the facility should be served by a septic tank with a capacity of approximately 24.000 gallons. The cost of that size tank will run approximately $50,000. based on standard estimates of $1 per gallon of capacity and $1 per gallon for installation. With the best soil, a drainfield needs 52 square feet for every 100 gallons of flow, requiring a drainfield for the NPEA facility of approximately one-half acre. A hearing date on the request for a review and stay of the BZA’s action in granting the campground variance has been set for Friday. June 13. at 10 a.m. in Rappahannock Circuit Court.

In order to offset gas price increases alone. Buntin said, mileage reimbursement would have to be paid at 21 cents per mile. To stay at the same level of two years ago, "we need a minimum of 25 cents." he added. Buntin noted that his department has experienced a complete turn-over in personnel, largely due to the deputies having to drive their own vehicles. "The deputies want to stay...but they do not feel they can maintain a job they’re going broke on (and continue) paying expenses to do public work." Public Cheated The public is cheated out of quality law enforcement by the high turnover rate. Buntin said. "Every time a new person must be trained, statistics show it takes three years for them to get to know the neighborhood, the people and procedure to become knowledgeable enough to do an efficient job." Buntin acknowledged that people who attend Col. Luke’s special budget meeting in Sperryville last week spoke out against tax increases. The sheriff recalled, however, that the audience wasn’t opposed to supplying county cars and suggested the purchase of used vehicles from a rental agency. Buntin indicated he would investigate the possible savings from buying used cars but insisted that the supervisors have to "look after the people of the county police-wise as well as taxwise.” If the supervisors restore the allocation for county cars, the sheriff said his department will find the best buy available—either new or used. According to accountant Wally Cox, it will take approximately ten cents on the tax rate or $16,000 to set county cars in operation. After the first year, he said, the county should come out even with state reim bursement based on depreciation of the vehicle. Robert Eastham asked if there wasn't money available for cars in the increased support of the sheriffs department by the state. Buntin explained that the state will pick up all salaries and a portion of operational costs for the first time this year but that the additional funds can’t be used to finance buying county cars. He maintained, however, that with the additional money easing the impact of law enforcement costs on the local treasury, this would be a good time to purchase police vehicles. Dave Moore asked for the supervisors’ decision on providing county cars, stating his support for the proposal. “We don’t have any decision,"Luke replied, acknowledging, however, that the supervisors had cut $20,000 for vehicles from the proposed budget and raised the allocation for mileage payments to $24,000. He noted that the tax levy to support the budget without cars must be $4.60 while the advertised rate is only $4.50. Luke added that reimbursement for the deputies was figured at 18.5 cents per mile in the preliminary budget, considerably lower than the 25 cents asked for by the sheriff. In justifying the decision to drop the appropriation for three cars, Luke claimed it would be more cost effective to buy one car this year and two the following year so all wouldn't wear out at once. Countering Buntin’s objection that buying a single car for all the deputies to share would result in the vehicle being driven into the ground. Luke noted that it may be one car or no cars at all. “1 don't think it’s politically acceptable to add ten cents to the tax rate. 1 don’t think it will fly," Luke said, claiming that he personally was for providing vehicles. If revenue is the key problem, suggested deputy Steve Crossman, why don't the supervisors take steps to codify county ordinances so that violations can be written on county tickets and fines returned to the local treasury rather than the state. Luke suggested that the sheriff s department work with commonwealth attorney Douglas Baumgardner to draw up the laws and bring them before the supervisors for approval. He also proposed that Buntin contact rental car agencies to check on the price of used vehicles. Last In Virginia "I was surprised to find out we’re the only county in the state that doesn't furnish the sheriffs department with cars,” said Fred Schaefer of Sperryville. Maintaining that local law enforcement has been neglected in the past, Schaefer affirmed his support for the purchase of countyowned cars. “I don’t think Rappahannock is the wealthiest county in the state but 1 don't think it’s the poorest either.” he concluded. Luke interjected that the tax rate here was averaged out at the same level for about ten years. “So if someone’s taxes have gone up. it's because they’ve acquired more personal wealth.” he said. Nelson Lane of Woodville added his support for county cars. Noting that school administrators were supplied automobiles, he said that "it would make a whole lot more sense for the sheriff to have vehicles than for someone (to have a car) to drive to work.” Luke said that school expenses reflected in the preliminary county budget included all requested allocations forwarded by the school board. The only change, he said, involved Title I programs left out of the school board’s budget and added into the preliminary county budget. (Title I programs are funded entirely with federal money.) The supervisor chairman noted that the increase in the school budget of $58,200 for gas and oil alone works out to a corresponding tax increase of 36.5 cents. "There’s no way around it—that’s what we’re paying the Arabs,” he said. Luke added that the school board’s estimate of $2 per gallon for gaoline "might not be out of line" in view of Saudi Arabia’s recently proposed oil price hikes. In addition, Luke recalled, the school board passed a resolution, agreeing to return all unspent funds for gas and oil to the county treasury rather than transferring any remaining balance at the end of the year to another category for expenditure. School board member Robert Eastham interjected that the board has also taken steps to reduce-the mileage traveled by the school’s transportation fleet. "We've put together as wise a provision as we can," he maintained. Eastham asked if there were any other changes to the budget proposed by the school board other than the addition of Title 1 programs and funds. "Not that I know of,” Luke replied. "If there has been, it’s inadvertent." The supervisor chairman acknowledged that he’d planned earlier to add $10,248 to give all school employees the same 12 per cent salary increase awarded to teachers. Luke said he’d changed his mind, however, after determining that most of the non-instructional staff will receive close to 12 per cent without the addition to the budget. Eastham emphasized that the school board had no intentions of giving all employees a 12 per cent raise. Under the school board’s proposal, he explained, atf personnel will receive nine per cent increases with teachers in addition getting their “habitual” three per cent step increase. Comparing the pay hike here with the increase of seven per cent cost of living and three per cent step offered by the county "across the line," Eastham maintained that Rappahannock’s salary proposal for 1980-81 is ‘‘not only fair—it is generous.” I Ninth Annual ■ J "Relax with us » you an|oy on* of th* most prestigious arts and crafts fasti vah on th* antir* Lnear historic ^HARPERSFERRV Mountain Heritage ARTS & CRAFTS FESTIWL • Hundreds of Craftspaopla and Artists. • Blua Grass Entartainmant. • Food and Drink available. • Fraa Parking. lust off US Route 340 between Harpers Ferry and Charles Town, West Virginia.

REALTY WORLD cReal 6Estate &/—n iJl. Qm . —— RfALTQR mM OPPORTUNITY VS. INCONVENIENCE I Once you list your home with a REALTOR, it’s up to him or her to find a buyer fast. Normally, the REALTOR will arrange appointments to view the home which are convenient to all parties. That’s always nice. Sometimes, however, prospects are on tight schedules, requiring your REALTOR to make lastminute appointmentsDon’t get annoyed. I'd like to have a dollar for every sale consummated on a last-minute appointment. Believe me, these are the best ones. Why? Often, prospects who are transferring into your area are on short househunting visits. They don't have the luxury of time on their side. And they want and need a house now - not in a year. The busy prospect is also more apt to make an immediate purchase than one who has all the time in the world. So, if you really want to sell your house in a hurry, treat the last-minute appointment as an opportunity - not an inconvenience. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M. DAY, REALTOR. Middle Street, Washington. Phone: 675-3400. We’re here to help. Billy falls into the clutches of a “bad ’un”, Jigger Craigin, and dies in a bungled robbery attempt.

Mon -Fri. Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc Member, Audit Bureau ot Circulation THURSDAY, JUNE 5,1980 Arbitrary Enforcement In trying to wiggle out of the controversy raised by the Nationwide Pentecostal Evangelistic Association’s campground, the Rappahannock County Board of Zoning Appeals has focused publicity on a glaring hole in the county’s zoning ordinance. The residential subdivision zone (RS-11 “designed to provide low density residential areas. . . create a harmonious residential community and promote a suitable environment for family life” makes no provision for residences. Article six which includes all RS-1 regulations lists criteria on rezonings tied to lot size and number of lots in a proposed development and notes that provisions in the comity’s subdivision ordinance applv to property zoned RS1. That’s it—that’s all there is to the section on residential subdivision. There are no uses allowed by right, no uses allowed with a special permit. If the ordinance is applied under the letter of the law, a landowner needs a variance from the board of zoning appeals before building a house, much less a church, tabernacle or campground. The planners and the supervisors have had seven years since the ordinance was adopted to correct the alleged oversight that resulted in the omission of special permitted and byright uses in the RS-1 zone. With existing regulations, every single family residence and anything else built since 1973 on land zoned RS1 should have first been approved by the issuance of a variance from the BZA. We hear a lot of talk about precedent in discussions of zoning issues. We’re worried about the precedent set by ignoring for seven years provisions that apply to an entire zoning category. We wonder how the planning commission and board of supervisors can hold some individuals—for instance developer C. L. Goode with his proposal for a 14-lot subdivision—to strict compliance with the ordinance and then toss county laws out the window for others. Requiring a property owner with residentially-zoned land to secure a variance before building a home is not logical. Single family dwelling units should be allowed by right on land designated for residential development. But the integrity of the zoning ordinance shouldn’t be jeopardized by ignoring legal requirements that it contains. The question may be raised, and rightly so, as to whether the county isn't guilty of arbitrary and capricious application of its. own laws by picking and choosing which zoning regulations to enforce. As soon as the error was first noticed, it should have been corrected by an amendment to the ordinance, allowing single family dwellings by right in RS1. The failure of the planners and supervisors to take this action may have serious complications further down the road. We urge the men responsible for Rappahannock's land use ordinances to address this problem immediately. It’s long past time for a review and revision of our zoning and subdivision law. Police Cars It may be politically expedient to cut county-owned cars for the sheriff’s department out of the proposed budget for 1980-81 but the action is not in the best interests of police protection for the citizens of Rappahannock. Neither is it fair to the deputies who must choose between leaving their jobs here or continuing to subsidize law enforcement out of their own pockets. Rappahannocks proposed budget for the coming fiscal year is already $16,000 short due to an error in advertising the tax rate ten cents per $100 less than required. If the supervisors can’t find a category that can be cut by $16,000, they 11 have to readvertise the 1980-81 tax rate at $4.60 and hold a second public hearing. That’s without a provision for countyowned cars. Adding vehicles for the sheriff’s department will require another ten cents on the levy. “Politically unacceptable,” said supervisor chairman E.P. Luke at this week’s budget hearing. Apparently, the rest of the board of supervisors agreed since none of the other four members contradicted the chairman or offered even limited support for county cars. so it looks like Rappahannock will retain the dubious destinction of being the last county in the state of Virginia to rely solely on privately owned vehicles for its law enforcement officers. Dropping county cars from the budget will also help to keep the county’s true effective tax rate the lowest in the state. We don’t want to see taxes raised. We’re all for the lowest practical tax rate but the key word is “practical.” It isn’t practical to have two year turn-over rate of 100 per cent for the sheriff’s deputies. As in the public schools, it seems that we’re a training ground for rookies in law enforcement as well. They work for Rappahannock a year or so till they’ve developed expertise and have become acquainted with the territory and the system and then they leave for places where they’re better paid and better appreciated. According to both sheriff W. A. Buntin and the deputies who’ve moved on, the key factor in the turn-over here in the lack of county cars. Looking at the dollars and cents side of the issue, it’s easy to understand why. This year, a Rappahannock deputy got 17 cents a mile for the travel he logged in his private vehicle on police business. Driving an average of 3,000 miles per month, that amounts to approximately $6,120 per year. Out of that total must come gas. Each deputy a drives a car that gets about 15 miles to the gallon. At $1.20 per gallon—the price of gas with the big underground tank just installed behind the jail—it comes to $2,880 a year. That leaves the deputy about $3,240 to pay for high risk insurance premiums, at least two sets of tires per year, an oil change every three months, tune-ups twice a year and any repairs needed after driving the car up and down back country roads, often at high speeds. Out of what’s left, if any, he can make the car payment on the new vehicle he had to buy in order to have an automobile that will stand up under heavy use. Is it any wonder that our deputies leave in droves? According to county accountant Wally Cox, after the first year, it will cost the county no more to operate its own cars than it does to pay mileage. There is the extra expense, not reimbursable from the state, of purchasing vehicles. But in 1980-81, for the first time, the state is paying all of the salary for sheriff’s department personnel instead of just two-thirds and will also pay a portion of operating costs. Why can’t this unexpected savings be used to iinance cars: And wasn’t there a decrease in the tax rate from that savings? At the supervisor chairman’s request, sheriff W.A. Buntin has secured prices from a rental agency on used cars that carry new car warranties. With the expected police discount, a Chevrolet Impala will cost the county S3,600. Three at the same price will mean about seven cents on the tax rate. Then, for maintenance, an arrangement can be worked out with the school board to share the services of transportation superintendent Allie Huff and his assistant John Henry Woodard, two of the county’s best mechanics. Tires and parts can also be purchased on a cooperative basis with the school board at considerable savings. With the state paying a higher percentage of law enforcement costs this year, now’s the time to buy countyowned cars, now before the state orders us to do so, now before we have another complete turn-over in deputies, now in order to provide the citizens of Rappahannock County with the best possible law enforcement program. Those who support a first-class sheriff’s department should contact their supervisors before a final decision is made. It’s not too late to put the cars back into the 1980-81 budget. —Rappahannock New* Photo/Sarmh Latham WHILE PICKING STRAWBERRIES in her garden, Nancy Wayland found this balloon which had traveled all the way from Canada.

Letters To The Editor Contributions Applauded Democracy? ? 1 o the editor: In lieu of all the recent controversy surrounding the schools, and the thoughtless comments made concerning our special education pupils, I find it a great opportunity to applaud the contributions of some of the county’s finer citizens. Mrs. Ester Settle of Flint Hill has given of her time this year to teach us the triguing art of manual communication, and we have benefitted a thousand times, and in more ways than she could imagine. Mr. George Kidwell of Amissville has a permanent place in our hearts as our favorite Olympic coach and spirit booster. His genuine concern and selfless giving have imbued us with a sense of worth not easily shaken. We deeply appreciate his devotion to a selfless life. A million thanks also to Daphne Hutchinson, who has given us excellent coverage, explained the finer points of photography to us, and expressed an interest in our ultimate welfare as one of Rappahannock's distinct minorities. Additional thanks are due to Mrs. Dearl Cloud, whose artistic talents and patient understanding added a special touch to our class. Lastly, I must thank my mothers, whose generosity and moral support kept my motivation high and gave me the impetus to press onward for the rights of the handicapped. Mrs. Carol Murray and Mrs. Jenny Stringfellow’s familiar faces will remain engraved in my children’s minds. I'm sure. I feel that these people exemplify the kind of values I’ve tried to impart to my class as their teacher. In the face of the harshest adversities (such as being labeled a “babysitter”) these folks were there, feeling the way that I do, encouraging my efforts, and, most importantly, loving the kidsevery single (handicapped) one of them. You are all wonderful people—thanks a million everyone. Elizabeth Coffey-Chaudet EMR I Teacher Special Education (Continued from Page 1) level, another at the fifth grade. With the younger children, she concentrates on concept development, for instance on the ordinal positions of first, second and third. Certain days of the week, the time is devoted to the study of sign language under the guidance of Ester Settle. After language, the more advanced students move on to math and spelling, "just like the rest of the school,” Coffey said. “They do many of the same assignments as other children. It just takes them a little longer." She explained that the progress of her students is measured against their individual educational programs (IEPs) rather than the standard grading scale of A. B, C. D and F. Each IEP, developed in a joint conference between the teacher and parents, sets goal or mastery levels for the child, Coffey said. No child is ever placed in special education without an IEP written first, she, continued. "It’s a year’s plan of what the child needs to work on. It covers goals, short and long term, and the child’s strengths and weaknesses.” Coffey noted that each IEP is reviewed at the end of every term at an up-date meeting with the parents and usually Dr. Rob McDaniel, special education supervisor, attending. Classes for the mentally retarded are not totally ungraded. Coffey tests her students on particular skills but if they fail to do well, it doesn’t mean a failing grade. Instead, she reteaches, retests and. if necessary, reteaches and retests some more until the skill is mastered. Her program is the classic example of “if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” Special Reports “A regular report card is not appropriate for my kids,” she explained. In its place, a special education committee has come up with a proposal for' a nine-weeks narrative report that will tell parents which IEP goals their child has reached, Coffey said. She added that the proposal must still be brought before the school board for approval. After a mid-morning snack break, the kids resumed work at . individual lessons while Coffey wrote a spelling test on the blackboard for her more advanced students. Tony and Josh, both behind in motor skill development, practiced on a “dressing board,” Tony with snaps and Josh with lacing and tying bows. Next the youngsters went outside for morning physical education. With the Special Olympics only a few days away, they concentrated on preparing for the games. Coffey demonstrated the proper stance off the starting blocks and then timed practice runs in the 25 and 50 yard dash, shouting encouragement from the finish line. In addition, Coffey’s students join regular classes for physical education two or three times a week, meeting the state requirement for mainstreaming during lunch period as well. Excess energy burned off, it was back to the classroom. Older students copied sentences off the board and filled in blanks with spelling words. They also practiced writing their names and addresses, a more practical skill, and finished pages in reading workbooks. Kids are in and out of the room at intervals during the day, getting special help from the speech therapist, the learning disabilities specialist or the reading lab instructor. This gives Coffey the flexibility to concentrate on one child at a time while two or three others left in the class work on individual assignments with a minimum of supervision. Generous Praise She showers her students with positive encouragement. “Good Josh. That’s wonderful reading ... I like the way you're putting the endings on your words,” she praised one youngster during a reading lesson. *'"**! like the way you wrote that. That’s very nice,” she complimented another as she looked over a spelling page. The kids also applaud each other in a spirit of cooperation that’s rarely found in the regular classroom. There’s competition and a squabble every now and then but on the whole, the way Coffey’s charges get along is enough to turn a mother faced with "normal” sibling rivalry green with envy. Like all good teachers, Coffey takes advantage of everyday occurances for impromptu lessons in manners and problem solving. “I don’t have any paper,” John announced as he prepared to start his assignment. "Well, what are you going to do?” Coffey asked. “Buy some,” he replied. “No, the school store is closed. What are you going to do right now?” “Borrow some,” John tried again, fidgeting in his desk as he glanced around the room with a wide smile. “Who are you going to borrow it from? You have to ask someone nicely. You can’t just say you need some paper,” Coffey explained. With a grin so wide that it threatened to crack his cheeks, John got up and walked to his neighbor’s desk to ask if he could “please" borrow some paper. Later, after demonstrating to a visitor what a whiz he is at telling time, John moved the hands of the cardboard clock to 4 o'clock. “I wish 1 could get out of school at 4 o’clock instead of 3," he announced. "1 could even stay until 5.” All the youngsters in the class seem to view their education with the same feelings of anticipation and pleasure. Betsy Coffey doesn’t coddle them, she doesn’t give them any breaks on behavior and above all, she doesn’t pity the children she teaches. Instead, she prods them to their full potential, a potential that will enable at least some of her students to live independent, productive lives. With the emphasis from federal and state government on equal educational opportunities for the handicapped. mental retardation has come out of the closet. Unfortunately, there are still too many people who will never understand what mental retardation means. It doesn't have to mean life in an institution. It doesn’t automatically translate into helplessness or a public burden that must be supported by welfare. But without early education and stimulation of the mind, the chances are greater that mentally retarded children will never be able to fend even partially for themselves, according to Coffey. "The word retarded does come up in our class,” Coffey said, “but we don’t dwell on it.” Her children realize they don’t learn as fast as others. “They know they’re slow and they know what slow means. They ask me sometimes what grade they’re in and I tell them they’re not in any grade, that they’re in the special education room." Special is the key. It’s where Coffey and all of the * comity's teachers "who work w ith handicapped students put the emphasis. And with this emphasis, Rappahannock’s mentally retarded youngsters have a future with much better odds on growing into adults who can face the world by themselves. To the editor: Well, Rappahannock, I see you are up to your same old tricks! Democracy???? SALLY E. PALMER Smithfield All Not Well To the editor: Oh, what could the matter be? Obviously, Mr. Johnson and Mr. Eastham. all is not well. When the voices of 255 voters are ignored all is NOT well. Could it be that the trustees of the board are fearful of the good that could occur if even one qualified person is allowed to serve on the board? Could it be we have found a shoe that fits? Why else would an individual as qualified as Mr. Guy Foster be overlooked and not given a reason why? I personally know Mr. Foster and feel confident that he is the right person for the job. He has clearly demonstrated his interest and involvement with young people of the county by his volunteer efforts in organizing the summer baseball program. Mrs. Foster cares about the young people of Rappahannock and feels they should be given the best possible education. As a student in the school system I personally feel the need for a person of Mr. Foster’s dedication and altruism. You see, gentlemen. I have goals for the future, but without the best possible education they might not be obtainable. You have not heard the last from those concerned petitioners, for they realize a mind is a precious thing to waste. NORMA J.

Land Use Considered (Continued from Page 1) According to Samuels' figures, the average farmer in Orange County pays $20 in taxes per acre for agricultural property receiving land use*' benefits. $2 Without Land Use By comparison, taxes in Rappahannock WITHOUT land use are far lower. Commissioner of Revenue Merle Scoggin estimated that large farms in Rappahannock are valued at an average of $300 per acre. Rappahannock's current tax rate of $4,20 per $100 is then applied to 15 per cent of that Bald Eagle Count Higher The number of bald eagles counted in Virginia incrased by 60 birds, according to the second annual bald eagle census taken by the National Wildlife Federation. The total bird count for the “lower 48” was 13,127 eagles—nearly 3,500 more birds than were sighted in the 1979 survey. The Virginia count for 1980 was 166 birds. The census was taken between January 2 and January 20. 1980 by more than 2.900 counters from 47 state wildlife agencies, seven federal agencies and 138 private conservation organizations. William S. Clark, director of the National Wildlife Federation’s Raptor Information Center, said that the 35 percent increase in sightings cannot be interpreted as evidence that the bald eagle, an endangered species in 43 of the 48 contiguous states, is making a comeback. Until the annual census has been taken enough times to establish a reliable “base line" from which fluctuations can be measure. Clark said, it will be difficult to say whether the bald eagle population is increasing or declining. "However," Clark added, “this year’s figures do seem to indicate that we are not losing ground in our effort to save our national bird. We are especially encouraged by the number of young and immature birds ^sighted.” Rappahannock New.

Therefore, if the county followed anything close to the land use values recommended by the state, taxes here would go up with use value taxation. This situation will probably change, however, when the county goes to 100 per cent fair market value assessment next year. Fred Forberg. from the State Department of Taxation, recommended to the supervisors two months ago that they consider enacting use value taxation at the same time the county makes the switch to 100 per cent fair market value assessment. He predicted that assessments here will increase by about 12 times under 100 per cent appraisal, climbing higher on land than on buildings. He suggested use value taxation as a means of equalizing the expected shift in tax burden so that it remains equally shared by land and buildings. In acting on the supervisors’ request for a land use taxation ordinance, the planning commission must first draw up the legislation, hold its own public hearings and forward a recommendation to the governing body. Then the supervisors must in turn schedule additional public hearings before use value can become law in Rappahannock. Happuiaiiiiuct newi pnoto/ 9.

- Rappahannock Seniors Live It Up In New York By MARION EASTHAM RCHS Sr*k>r Student It was Friday, May 23. The day of the long awaited senior trip to New York City had finally arrived. Thirty-eight seniors from RCHS and our five chaperons, Mr. and Mrs. Mills, Mr. Logan, Miss Stuart and Miss Jordan boarded the Continental Trailways at 9 a.m. sharp. As the big bus pulled away, we watched the envious eyes of the under classmen left at school. It seemed that all of our work and time on our funding raising activities was now being repaid. The bus was buzzing with activity. Amidst the sounds of tape players and radios, we were all talking out expectations of New York. It was the first trip to the “Big Apple” for most of us. Needless to say we were very excited. Everyone welcomed a rest stop in Maryland to eat lunch. We were running ahead of schedule until our bus broke down right on the outskirts of the city. After a delay of one and a half hours on the bus waiting for help, we entered New York during rush hour. It was quite an experience. I think we were all thankful we weren’t driving. We arrived at our Hotel Sheraton around 5:30. After unpacking, we decided what we wanted to do that evening. We divided into groups and ate dinner. Then we could either go see a movie or go to a disco. I went with the group to the disco and we had a fantastic time. It was thoroughly entertaining to watch some of the polished disco dancers. However, it was even more fun to try it ourselves. The music never stops at a disco. Our feet were tired when we left, but we really enjoyed it. After the disco, a group of us rented a horse and carriage for a ride through the city at night.

Vehicle Specialist • Repairs on Most Foreign and American Cars 30 Ashby St., Warrenton, Va. 347-3785 Service Center To me, New Yprk appears so much different at night than it does during the day. Earlier I had noticed the trash lying around on the streets and the constant hustle-bustle of the crowds. However, on the carriage that night, the city was magical with lights that seemed to stretch out forever. Much too soon, it was time to go to bed. Before 1 went to sleep. 1 looked out the window. 1 got the impression that New York is a 24 hour city! It never sleeps. There is always someone out on the streets. Just as I was dozing off. a man with a saxophone began playing a tune out in the street. We arose early Saturday morning, ate breakfast, then boarded a bus for a six hour tour of Manhatten, the heart of the city. We were fortunate to have an excellent tour guide who made the trip both interesting and informative. If there was one thing I forgot to pack, it was liniment for my neck, sore from constantly bending back to get a look at the Carillon Recitals A schedule of carillon recitals at the Luray Singing Tower has been released for the summer period. May 31 through September 15. During this time recitals may be heard Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays at 8 p.m. In addition to the regular performances, special recitals will be given on September 16 and on October 30 at 2 p.m.; on Sunday, September 2. at 2 and 8 p.m. and on Labor Day at noon. The Luray Singing Tower, officially named the Belle Brown Northcott Memorial, contains a 47 bell carillon which is an old world instrument originating 400 years ago. It is played by means of a clavier of oak pedals and levers. The bells are stationery and the clappers are connected to the levers and pedals. The bells range from 12‘/j pounds to the largest 7,640 pounds with a six-foot diameter. They are made of pure copper and tin and the rigid control of the temperature when the bells are cast plays an important part in the balanced tone and uniform quality. Charles Chapman is carillonneur at the Singing Tower. He studied at the University of Virginia, at Peabody Conservatory of Music, Johns Hopkins University, and Washington, D.C. Musical Institute, and has performed here and abroad. American and foreign composers have created music for Mr. Chapman. buildings. The height of the skyscrapers was incredible. We first drove through “Times Square”, the center of the theater district of the city. There was a tremendous variety of movies and plays. New York definitely offers something for everyone. Next, we passed the famous Empire State Building with is 6,500 windows and 73 elevators. One of the places I found charming was Greenwich Village, the home of artists and writers. It is very fashionable but expensive to live there. Greenwich Village is noted for its sidewalk cafes and art exhibitions. Just past Greenwich village exists a very different atmosphere-Skid Row. The 6,000 homeless in Manhatten generally live in this area. It was a shock for many of us to see people sleeping out on the sidewalk. The guide told us that these street people literally drink themselves to death; most die of malnutrition. However, we did pass by the Booth House, a mission that provides meals for these unfortunates. We then entered the oriental quarter of the city. The bus stopped at Chinatown where we got out and walked around. We visited a Chinese Temple, which is really a relic of the past. Only a few of the very old Chinese worship there; most of the younger Chinese are Christians. Melting Pot There are so many neighborhoods of different nationalities and racesHarlem, Chinatown, Little Italy and Yorkville, just to name a few. I realized that New York is truly a “melting pot.” There are twenty-five main languages spoken in the city. The guide told us that in New York there are more Jews than in Israel, more Italians than in Naples, and more Irish than in Dublin. There are several Spanish newspapers and radio stations. One has to visit to grasp the vastness of the city. We then passed through the business section and saw Wall Street where the land is worth $600 a square foot.

Famous Lady Next on the tour was a ferry ride to see the most famous lady of New York—The Statue of Liberty. Her torch of freedom is the symbol of welcome for people entering America from all over the world. For me, that was the highlight of the tour. Upon arriving back in Manhatten, we drove along the waterfront and viewed the famous Brooklyn Bride. We saw many famous buildings such as the World Trade Center, Radio City Music Hall, the Lincoln Center and the Natural History Museum. We then drove through Harlem, which was the center of Jazz in the 1920’s. Now, however, it was sad to see the many old abandoned buildings. Only five blocks from the abandoned buildings is 5th Avenue, the center of fashion for the elite of the city. This again illustrates the diversity of New York. We passed by many of the old mansions which are now mostly museums. The guide told us some interesting stories about the old millionaires of the city. Another highlight of the tour was visiting the Cathederal Church of St. John the Devine. We were amazed at the beautiful stained-glass windows, and the intricate stone designs. It is the largest Gothic Cathedral in the world. The bus then took us back to the hotel and we all felt we knew the city a little better. Some decided to take a nap. while others elected to go to Macys, the largest department store in the world. To get there, we all eagerly boarded the largest subway system in the world. The New York subway system alone uses more electricity than the entire state of Rhode Island. I could have spent all day looking around Macys but we had to leave to go back and get ready for the evening festivities. After a refreshing dip in the hotel’s pool, we met to regroup. Some decided to go to a disco while others attended a Broadway play. Broadway The Broadway play we saw was “Oklahonva”. It was spectacular and we enjoyed it immensely. I think that was my favorite part of the whole trip. Following the play, we walked around visiting various specialty shops and then it was time to meet back at the hotel. A small group of "die hards” stayed up and watched T.V. and talked. Finally we all fell asleep. Sunday morning we arose, packed and ate breakfast. It was obvious who had seen the play the night before. They were all singing "O-k-l-a-h-om-a.” Before leaving the city, we visited the United Nations, taking an informative tour of the building and received a better understanding of international relations. Around noon, we departed for home. The bus ride was somewhat quieter as we were all very tired. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to go to New York. The city is a fascinating place to visit and we all had a wonderful time. However, I think we were glad to return to Rappahannock. We missed the mountains, clean air and water, and good old southern hospitality. New York is a neat place to visit, but as they say: “You can take the girl out of the cpuntry, but you can’t take the country out the girl.” I CATHY A NETS Main SI.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC BY RAPPAHANNOCK ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE Notice is hereby given that the Rappahannock Electric Cooperative (Cooperative) has filed with the State Corporation Commission of Virginia an application for approval to revise its Wholesale Power Cost Adjustment Clause (WPCAC) and to put into effect a Temporary Surcharge Rider. 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 bebn 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. Box 2118, Richmond, Virginia 23216.

So The Eiimenides by Aeschylus, performed by Wakefield Preparatory School students this past weekend. May 30 and 31. tells us something about the lasting nature of man. No man can elude his fate, Aeschylus seems to say. The fate of a good man, caught in the net of the gods, may be disaster. We must suffer so that we may learn. The Eumenides. a fourth century Greek classic directed by Wakefield administrator Mrs. Pamela Lynn, is the second of a trilogy by Aeschylus, the most deeply religious of the three great Greek tragedians.
