With Absentees, Legal Questions Mills Rezoning Tabled For Special Meeting By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahanmx-k torn Staff Whirr With two supervisors _ ittfadog, and questions raised regarding procedural legalities, the Rappahannock supervisors at Monday’s December board meeting tabled a rezoning application from James Mills. Mills is seeking rezoning of approximately one acre from agricultural to commercial for the stated purpose of operating a garage and inspection station. The property located on Route 729 near the Culpeper line at E&tes is adjacent to Mills Store, a country grocery and gas station, and is bordered by agricultural and residential land. At the opening of Monday’s public hearing on the rezoning application, commonwealth's attorney Douglas Baumgardner suggested that a vote be deferred until December 15. He explained that supervisor chairman E. P. Luke couldn’t attend the monthly meeting because of illness. In addition, Baumgardner said, he and supervisor Clarence Baldwin had to be in Culpeper at 11 a.m. and. so the hearing. The commonwealth attorney also noted that legal issues raised by Culpeper lawyer Stephen Will, representing adjoining landowners, should be addressed before action is taken on the rezoning. In a letter to Baumgardler. Will questioned wnether the planning )commissioners at their earlier public hearing ever formally voted on approval of the rezoning recommendation for Mills’ property they forwarded to the supervisors. The lawyer also challenged the description of Mills’ request as an extension of existing spot-zoning. Will maintained that the store at Estes is not spotzoned commercial but rather was given that zoning designation when the ordinance was adopted under the "grandfather clause" that allows existing uses to continue as non-conforming uses. Approving the rezonitig without conditions would result in a permanent change •i* the elmraetw of property, according to Will. Although the board members agreed to postpone their vote, they went ahead with the scheduled public hearing. Already Used As Garage Jerry Mills, the landowner’s son, said he wanted the one acre commercial rezoning of property which included “the building I use to work on people’s cars.” He noted that his father owns the adjacent grocery and gas station “already zoned commercial.” Dorothy Whorton, another adjacent property owner, described Mills’ proposal for a garage and inspection station as “a service to the community.” W. P. Weaver, who owns adjoining land, agreed that the area needed a garage. He reported news he’s heard that morning on anticipated gas price increases of two cents per month for the next several months. In favor of Mills’ application. Weaver said people in the area “can’t afford to drive 10 to IS miles 'to got gas...Or waste a day having their car inspected or getting their car worked on.” Chris Parrish, a nearby landowner, described Mills as “a pretty good mechanic” who answers road calls to break-downs, and also emphasized need for an inspection station in the community. Likewise. David Konick stressed benefits to the community in his support of Mills' rezoning. "I’m very concerned about the property being rezoned without conditions.” stated William Carrigan, landowner with property across the road from Mills. He proposed that screening be required between the shop area and the highway. “Practically all ordinances require screening between commercial and residential." he said, suggesting three rows of heavily planted evergreens in a 25 foot area. “I think the county would be improved if we considered the screening (Continued on Page 4) No Vote Taken On Tax Changes By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannmk \n,. Suff Vrilrr AAt the request of absent members Clarence Baldwin and chairman E. P. Luke, the Rappahannock supervisors at their December 1 meeting deferred a decision on changes in the county’s property tax system until a special session set for December 15. The public hearing on proposals to drop personal property taxes on household furnishings, livestock and farm machinery went on as scheduled, however, with speakers from an audience of more than 50 trading arguments for two hours. Judging from the supervisors’ remarks, both H. B. Wood and J. R. Latham support revisions in the tax system while Hubert Gilkey is opposed. Reportedly, Baldwin and Luke are also against dropping the three classes of personal property from the county’s tax rolls. Sharon Kilpatrick led off proponents by describing the levy on household goods as an “honesty tax...The more honest you are, the higher the taxes you have to pay...It's put me in a bit of a quandary. If I really wrote down what everything is worth, I was a sucker and if 1 didn’t. I was dishonest.” When commissioner of revenue Merle Scoggin asked the supervisor* to review personal property taxes two months ago, she pointed out her office’s difficulty in administering the tax on household belongings. She has maintained repeatedly that individual tax bills—particularly for household goods but also for farm machinery and livestock—depend entirely on honesty in reporting what is owned and the true value of holdings. Scoggin has emphasized that the commissioner of revenue’s office doesn’t have the time or the expertise to go from house to house, bam to bam and field to field, estimating value on household goods, livestock and farm machinery. In her proposal to the supervisors, Scoggin suggested that taxing all licensed vehicles based on their fihance value would be a more equitable method—along with taxes on real property—of providing money for local government. Jesse Pond Remembers Pearl Harbor By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer December 7, 1941. A day that will live in infamy. Far more than most people. Jesse Pond has reason to remember the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. He was a crewman on the Chew, a Navy destroyer anchored next to Battleship Row that fateful morning. He remembers the hail of machine gun Fire from strafing planes, he remembers the stench of cordite and burning oil, the deafening boom of ex-, plosions, the gut-tightening fear that he would be one of the dead when the battle ended. Because he remembers. Pond gives a big part of his life to the Pearl Harbor Survivors' Association, a fraternal and social organization made up of men and women from all branches or the service who lived through those two hours 35 years ago. At his home in Sperryville, Pond, who is treasurer of the nationwide association, keeps records of the 8,000 current and 2,000 past members. The filing cabinets of his basement office hold material enough for * dozes hooks about the Pearl Habor attack. On most of the 10,000 applications for association membership, survivors have written accounts of where they were and what they were doing between 0755 hours and 0945 hours on December 7, 1941. Jesse Pond’s story of how a beautiful morning in the tropics exploded into hell is typical. When Roosevelt declared a national emergency in 1940, calling Naval Reserves up for duty, Jesse Pond was a new reserve member. He was assigned to the U.S.S. Chew, an over-aged destroyer on neutrality patrol, based in Pearl Harbor. “We ran around and made sure there were no submarines in the area,” Pond explained. “We were part of a division of destroyers assigned to that job.” ' The Chew was old. “She was launched in 1917—So was I," Pond joked. Initially, the destroyer was part of a package deal with the British under the U.S. traded ships for lend-lease agreements. “But the British wouldn’t take her. They said she was too beat up,” Pond chuckled. The destroyer's identification number was 106. "That should tell something about how old she was. In World War II, the numbers got up into the 800s,” he added. Pond was on watch in the engine room on the morning of December 7. “I came off at 7:45. It was watch standard. courtesy to relieve 15 minutes early.” He went topside. A Beautiful Day “I was 23 years old. It was a beautiful day. I felt pretty good—I was a member of all the ship’s athletic teams so I was in pretty good shape. I was stretching and yawning,” enjoying the morning—didn’t even have a shirt on. The mess cook came by and made some remark about ,hurrying if Pond wanted breakfast. The Chew’s standard topside exit was a slide in the torpedo shack, a favorite with the crew because the crash on hitting the bottom was more than loud enough to wake bunk mates grabbing a few extra minutes of sleep on Sunday morning. Just before hitting the slide. Pond caught a glimpse of an airplane diving down through the clouds. “I thought it was one of our planes—just another one of the crazy zoomies (U.S. flyers) buzzing the harbor. But when I got to the bottom of the slide, there was this tremendous explosion instead of a crash.” Still, Pond wasn't alarmed, dismissing the explosion as just a one of the crazier zoomies dropping a bomb in the harbor. It was the bomb being dropped on the Arizona. The same mess cook who had warned Pond to hurry for breakfast stuck his head through the hatch and yelled “That’s the Japs bombing us and that’s no-—.” Pond rushed to his station at the forward anti-aircraft gun to find he was the only member of the gun crew on board. Awnings were up over all the guns to keep the metal decks from frying under the tropic sun. Ammunition was locked away. Pond appointed volunteers to take the positions of the absent gun crew. “Guys grabbed knives from the galley to cut the awnings down and just threw them over the sides. With the awnings gone, there was still a pipe in front of the gun muzzle. I bent that over the deck. We used bolt cutters to (Continued on Page 4) — Rappahannock Naw, Phoao'Daphn. H->a;_ JESSE POND, national treasurer of the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association. I Kilpatrick wasn’t as outspoken in her support for eliminating taxes on farm machinery and livestock. As long as merchants are taxed on their inventory, she questioned whether this wouldn't be favoring one type of business over another. If changes are approved, she cautioned the supervisors against setting a higher rate on cars than on land. According to Kilpatrick, counties that have followed this route have ended up charging more in taxes on automobiles than house and lot. According to Scoggin, a rate of $2.80 on 100 per cent of the finance value of vehicles will generate approximately $175,000—the same revenue raised by the discounted rate on vehicles, household goods, farm machinery and livestock. She noted that her proposals don't address merchants' capital tax. currently levied on 57 merchant accounts on one-quarter of their total inventory, the same quarter discount applied to all' personal property. Briefly, the commissioner of revenue reviewed tax systems in surrounding counties, noting that Fauquier taxes only licensed vehicles as personal property and merchants capital at the rate of one cent per $100. that Culpeper assesses farm machinery at 20 per cent of value and animals at $50 apiece (compared to $350 to $400 for cows and $500 for registered bulls here) under a tax rate of $5 and that Page and Madison have no livestock tax and set the levy on farm machinery at a lower rate than on cars. $45 Average Per Vehicle According to Scoggin, Rappahannock has more than 4,000 licensed vehicles. If the supervisors adopt the (Continued on Page 2) Burke Proposed ForBZA Vacancy Appointments to vacancies on county boards were postponed along with tax and zoning questions by the Rappahannock supervisors at Motfdiy’i meeting as the board convened with barely a quorum. Before leaving the December 1 session, commonwealth attorney Douglas Baumgardner noted that circuit court judge Shore Robertson had requested Hampton supervisor Clarence Baldwin to recommend a resident from his district to replace resigning Board of Zoning Appeals member Kermit Weakley. Baumgardner explained that Robertson would follow this procedure with all BZA appointments, asking the supervisor from the district involved to submit a name and background information. Baldwin’s recommendation for the vacancy is John Burke preacher for the Grid Brown Bible Church. Background information was not included with his name. Under Robertson’s directive. Supervisor chairman E. P. Luke# representative from Piedmont District, will have to make a recommendation on a second BZA vacancy created by the expiration of Charles K. Estes’ term on October 7. 1980. In addition, a check of county records show that George Muth’s BZA term expired on October 7, 1979. There is no indication that (Continued on Page 4) NicholsonRecaptured In Slate Mills Jimmy W ayne Nicholson of Slate Mills was arrested by Rappahannock deputies on November 24, ending a two week chase around the county. Nicholson, 21, was serving a sentence for forgery and grand larceny on a work release program at road camp six near Fredericksburg. According to the Rappahannock sheriffs department, he was allowed to come home to the county at intervals on weekend passes and had been in Rappahannock the weekend before his escape from the road camp. On November 14, Nicholson didn’t return to camp at the end of the work day. Late that night, he was a passenger in a car that was stopped by the police in Culpeper and the driver arrested for driving under the influence. According to Rappahannock sheriff W. A. Buntin. Nicholson was told not to drive the vehicle by •officers who suspected that he was likewise under the influence. Nicholson entered the station but while waiting for his companion to take a breath test, walked out and left in the car. Buntin said he received a call from the state police at 4 a.m. on the morning of the 15th. advising him of Nicholson’s escape and requesting that he immediately check homes of the escapee’s friends and relatives in Slate Mills. With trooper R. A. Baines, the sheriff drove to the area but didn’t find Nicholson. "We kept getting tips that he was in Slate Mills and We made several efforts that week to find him. All the deputies went down there at various times,” Buntin reported. On November 23, in answer to yet another tip on Nicholson's whereabouts, deputies Ray Jackson and Steve Crossman drove to his brother's home at Slate Mills. “They were permitted to look around, went into a closet and there he was—he and his girlfriend sitting in the closet,” Buntin said. But while being searched by Crossman, Nicholson slipped loose and ran again. “His brother Mack blocked the door and gave him an opportunity to get away," Buntin added. The deputies searched for the now double escapee but with no luck. They came back the next day, this time with a search warrant. Checking a closet, the deputies noticed a trap door that led into the basement. “They found him in the crawl space behind the chimney," Buntin reported. Jimmy Nicholson is currently in the Fauquier County jail, awaiting a preliminary hearing on December 9. His brother Maclt Nicholson, 29, and Jimmy’s girlfriend Susan Sisson, 23, of Greenbriar, have both been charged with aiding and abetting a fugitive and are out on bond. Ironically, Nicholson was due for parole in early January and had only two more months to serve.

No Vote Taken At Packed Hearing On Tax Changes (Continued from Page 1) proposed changes and tax vehicles at their finance value, the lowest of the three standardized scales, a car with a finance value of $5,000 will bring in $140 under the new system as opposed to $55 under the county’s current tax program. She explained that the finance value of a vehicle is the worth set by a bank or other lending institution. Mrs. Scoggin noted that other counties use retail or wholesale (trade-in), much higher values than finance, in assessing taxes on a vehicle. ‘‘We’ve got 4,000 vehicles to get $175,000." remarked H. B. Wood. “That might not seem too much to pick up if you drop off farm machinery and household goods now...but once you eliminate farm related vehicles (from the tax rolls) right many of those 4.300 licensed vehicles are going to become farm related." maintained Carson Johnson. He claimed that at least 2,000 vehicles will g6 unlicensed as farm vehicles if the tax changes are approved, leaving 2,000 cars and trucks to pick up the $175,000 in revenue that must be replaced. In addition, he said, the substantial number of weekend residents who buy county stickers here because vehicle taxes are much lower in Rappahannock than in more urbanized localities will switch back if taxes are raised. ‘‘We could easily come up with 1,500 vehicles (instead of 4.000) to pick up the whole tax burden,” Johnson claimed.

VIRGINIA 22630 licensed vehicles included a dump truck, cattle truck and pick-up truck. “I use them all on farm business but if I drive them on the road. I thought I must pay license fees on them.” Scoggin agreed that vehicles traveling public roads for any distance must be licensed whether used on farm business or not. In response to a question from John Dwyer, she explained that under the proposals for changes in the county’s tax system whether or not taxes on a specific vehicle would increase or decrease would depend on the make and age of the vehicle. Bill Fletcher described the 50 per cent reduction in licensed vehicles anticipated by Johnson as “unrealistic”' and maintained that even a 20 per cent drop would be "excessive." He noted that the county sheriffs department has made arrests a number of times for drivers exceeding the scope allowed for use of an unlicensed farm vehicle. Fletcher advocated an “across the board change” in Rappahannock’s tax system that would include revisions in merchants capital tax as well as elimination of taxes on household goods, farm machinery and livestock. He maintained that taxes should correspond to "use of county services.” “For years, farmers in Rappahannock County have paid more than their fair share”, said Mike Basset. ‘‘Farmers are in the minority now. They are more real estate agents here than farmers." If the county wants to keep its farmers, he said, it must do something to help them. Farmers shouldn't have to subsidize the rest of the county, he added. “They’re not the ones making all the money." Encourages Cheating Steve Bullock supported elimination of the personal property taxes on farm machinery and livestock as a means of encouraging agriculture, the base of tlje county's economy. He also .advocated dropping the levy pn _ .household.. goods, maintaining that the county's current tax system “en couraged citizens to beat the government” by cheating on their returns. Chris Parrish, identifying himself as a cattle fanner, “one of the few feeding the many", said he resented being penalized through the county's tax on livestock for increasing his herd. Beverty Massie. who helps operate a family farm near Amissville, noted that farmers next year will have to shoulder the added burden ot the county's first 100 per cent assessment on real estate. Currently, she said, many farmers in Rappahannock pay as much personal property tax on livestock and machinery as they do on land. “You defeat your purpose if you tax farmers out of the production business.” she said, adding that people are attracted to Rappahannock because of the open spaces provided by the county’s agriculturally based economy. Personal property taxes are "the most inequitable and unfair taxes we pay.” said Newbill Miller, Washington cattle farmer and real estate agent. Supporting elimination of the personal property levies on farm machinery and livestock as well as on household goods, he noted that Virginia’s legislature has "seen the need to establish an environment where agriculture can survive...Agriculture maintains this county’s land values.” he said. Miller said he knew ot 12 Rappahannock youngsters who’ve started fanning in the past couple of years and derive 80 to 90 per cent of their incomes from farming. This local phenomenon bucks state and nationwide trends which show farmers as an average getting older and older because no young faces are joining the agricultural ranks. "There are not even many in my age group in the county." Miller said, adding that the 12 youngsters think agriculture has a viable future here. Under the county's current tax system. John Dwyer noted, he has one tenant farmer who lives in the county and pays personal property tax on his cattle and another who resides in Warren and pays nq taxes on the livestock he keeps nere. "If you're honest, you get taxed. If you’re dishonest, you get off,” he concluded. Unstable Price* With most products, a businessman sets a price that will cover expenses and production costs and allow a profit, according to H. L Manwaring. A farmer can’t do that, he said. “What he gets is what the man will give him...With apples, you sell at what the man will give you or you let them rot on the ground.’’ With a calf, if the price offered isn’t high enough to cover costs, the farmer can hold the animal over for another year, hoping the market will improve and, in the meantime, “pay for the privilege ot his company (in livestock taxes),” Manwaring said. Once farmers could just turn cattle out in the fields, Manwaring continued. Now stock must be sprayed for grubs and lice and vaccinated against a long list of diseases. “By the time, we get through, they look a little like a pir cushion." he joked. In addition, he said. Rappahannock farmers face new hazards from barn burnings and attacks on livestock by dogs. “It will become increasingly difficult to keep agriculture going in Rappahannock County if these hazards continue to increase," he said. According to Manwaring, income from agriculture rose 7.6 per cent last year while production costs climbed 13 per cent. “So we’re still in a squeeze.” he said, adding that farmers have at the same time improved their efficiency to the point where eaeh farmer produces enough food and fiber for 65 people. "If things are so bad, why’d I get into farming in the first place?” Manwaring asked. “I guess I’m just stupid," he joked. "In addition to being stupid. I like it. It’s like the fellow who drinks a little too much or eats too much candy. I like it. "So why don't I get out? I have the bear by the tail—I hale to hang on but I’m scared to let go,” Manvyaring^ smiled, sending a ripple oi chuckles through the farmers in the audience as they sat nodding their heads in ffijTOOl — Rappahannock New* Photo/S.

He listed his options if he decides to giving jip farming. “I could subdivide and make a killing and contribute to the killing of the beauty of Rappahannock County. I could try to rent the land to some other damn fool. I could plant trees but I should live so long to get anything from trees or I could just let it grow up into scrub and brush. "How do farmers continue farming if things are so bad? Many can stay in because their land values have increased to the point where a banker is willing to lend them the money with the land as collateral. But that will catch up to them eventually,” Manwaring concluded. Tourist Business Hurt Jimmy Swindler, a selfdescribed former farmer who went broke in agriculture, acknowledged that farming is the state’s number one industry but pointed out that tourism is second. His Country Manor Gift Shop returns substantial revenue to the state and the county, he said, through dollars tourists leave on their way through Rappahannock. He maintained .that merchants deserve a tax break as much as farmers do and will be hurt by increased taxes on licensed vehicles they need to transport stocks. “You ought to think of the merchants capital tax when you consider a change,’’ Swindler told the supervisors, noting that surrounding counties have an option Rappahannock doesn’t of shifting the farmers’ tax burden onto industry. “Are small contractors going to get a break on the vehicles they need to conduct their business?” asked Ed Foster. The commissioner of revenue replied that all licensed vehicles whether used by a farmer or contractor would be taxed.

Foster continued that he had eight licensed vehicles he used in his contracting business “to make money and employ people.” Balers and mowers, although they don’t burn fuel, are also used to make money he said, asking if lifting the taxes on non-mechanized machinery would be equitable. GQkey Say* Unfair "If you take taxes oil someplace, they have to go on someplace else,” said supervisor Hubert Gilkey. He maintained that the tax changes before the board would shift the tax burden to lot owners with two or three vehicles "who have to go down country to make their living...I don’t think there’s anything fair about (the proposals for personal property tax changes) theNvay they’re presented now,” he stated. In counties like Fauquier that have replaced personal property taxes with auto license fees, it’s possible to earn $100 a day, according to Billy Smoot. “Here we work for S2.65 an hour,” he said. Youngsters just out of high school who have to drive to Maryland and Washington, D.C., to find jobs will be particularly hurt by an increase in auto license fees, according to Smoot.

They carry enough anyway.” With more than 4,000 licensed vehicles in the county and $175,000 in revenue to make up, supervisor J. R. Latham noted, the average licensed vehicle tax will amount of $45. "Have you ever seen a tax bill from Fairfax or Arlington?” he asked. "But look at the services they provide.” countered Jim Bankston. Unlike Rappahannock, those urban localities also have land assessed at full value, Jack Miller added.

Flint Hill orchardist Herbert Foster agreed that fanners need relief. “But this tax (on licensed vehicles) is just not fair.” The proposal before the board would help the big farmers, not the small fanners, he maintained. “Mr. Lane (Nelson Lane of Woodville) has 500 cattle. We’ve got 65. (If the levy on livestock is dropped), somebody’s got to pay Mr. Lane’s tax and who’s it going to be?” he asked. According to Foster, the lost revenue will have to be picked up by his children and others who need cars to drive to their jobs. “That’s just not a fair way to go about it.” Jim Bankston expressed support for eliminating taxes on household goods but maintained that it should remain on farm machinery and livestock, pointing out that farmers are already eligible for other local and federal tax breaks and can write off personal property taxes on their federal returns. Henry Sutherland advocated changes in the tax system but argued that the Fruit For Sale Boy Scout Troop 36 of Flint Hill once again will offer county residents the opportunity to buy fresh citrus fruits for the holiday season. Oranges, tangelos, tangerines and grapefruits will be on sale. Advance orders may be placed by calling R. A. Baines, 675-3253; Paul Nichols at 675-3500, or by contacting any member of Troop 36.

He agreed with Parrish’s suggestion that fuel burning vehicles and machinery should be taxed. “That would put some of the burden back on farmers,” he maintained. “It would encourage conservation,’! Parrish added. “Little Fellow” Hart Ed Bailey described the proposed tax changes as “a very unfair thing for the little fellow,” pointing out that small land holdings are already assessed at a much higher rate than large parcels in Rappahannock. With his small contracting business which includes three licensed vehicles, Bailey said he’s “barely making a living now—pass this tax and you’re going to have to put me on welfare,” he told the board. David Konick maintained that the proposed tax changes would put an unfair burden on families with two cars where both mother and father work. He noted that farmers are already going to get a "big break" with land use and questioned if eliminating the tax on farm machinery would result in any savings if farmers have as many licensed vehicles as the speakers at Monday’s hearing. “This is the fairest proposal we can come up with in my mind,” supervisor Wood responded. The commissioner of revenue added that she'd only requested the supervisors to examine the county’s personal property tax system and had not proposed changes, just suggested alternatives. “If someone could come up with something better, that would be wonderful,” Scoggin said. To illustrate the current tax burden placed on those who file accurate returns, Wood noted that a nonresident land owner with a weekend cabin and no Choir Concert The First Baptist Church youth choir will be in concert at the church in Washington on Sunday, Etocepi^ J. at 3:30 p.ur.

As the supervisors prepared to recess the public hearing until their special December 15 session, Steve Bullock suggested that the tax proposals be separated into three parts, each dealing with a specific category of personal property. He also requested new figures on the effect of proposed changes on taxes paid by representative farms since, according to the commissioner of revenue, the data supplied to the supervisors by her office doesn’t accurately reflect a true picture of the impact. He also asked for information on impact on farmers if farm machinery is figured for tax purposes as merchants capital. Too Early? “Maybe this is all coining too early,” said Jim White. He suggested putting off any changes to personal property tax until it’s possible to look at the total tax picture under the county’s upcoming assessment of land at 100 per cent of market value. He also proposed that the commissioner of revenue provide information on examples of taxes which individuals—not just farmers—will pay after the reassessment and that this be taken into consideration before changes are made in the personal property tax structure. Newbill Miller maintained that houses, land and motor vehicles are the only three categories of property appriased by a standard and equal method. If the revenue lost from dropping personal property taxes on farm machinery, livestock and household goods is made up by increased taxes on land instead of on licensed vehicles, “it would still be fairer” than the county’s current system, he said. Parrish argued that the county should think in terms of long range plans and adopt a tax structure that Sing Thing “Praising the Lord in Song” will be the theme for a “Sing Thing” at Mount Lebanon Baptist Church on Sunday, December T, beginning at 2:30 in the afternoon.

Thursday Friday “encourages food production and discourages gas consumption.” “The farmer is sitting right on top of his living,” countered contractor Ed Foster. “I’ve got to run up and down the road to make mine,” he said, adding that he spent thousands of dollars on gas and insurance. “Why should the equipment farmers use get a tax break and not contractors’ equipment?” he asked. Fletcher said that the standard Figures used in Rappahannock for estimating the value of household goods—$125 per room — grossly underestimates worth. On the other hand, he claimed, the farmer “puts it all down...It’s all there for everyone to see." Fletcher said that historically, the farmer has carried the tax burden in Rappahannock. Me pointed to the country s rapidly diminishing base of agricultural land with three million acres taken out of production every year. “Any farmer in Rappahannock County can take what he’s got, sell and invest athe money at five per cent and make more than he’s getting from farming...It’s time for people to look at what the farmers have done for Rappahannock County and try to help them out.” James Fletcher Massie, Jr., said that if a person is wealthy enough to afford a brand new automobile, “then they should be wealthy enough to pay the tax on it. I don’t think it's fair to tax the machinery a farmer needs to make a living,” he added. Land Uae Too "If we’re going to give you this and land use, don’t you think somebody’s going to be paying more than they should?” asked supervisor Gilkey. Herbert Foster asked if the county’s public schools will have to be expanded and where the money will come from to pay for new construction. Supervisor Latham answered that the school board’s capital outlay study isn’t completed yet but that it appears more classrooms would be needed. The cost, he said, will have to be added to land taxes. Claybert Smoot asked what effect the proposed tax changes will have on the family with two cars where the mother uses one to take a child to the sitters and herself to work. "What’s she going to do? If she can’t pay the tax and has to sell her car, she’ll have to go on welfare and who’s going to pay for that?” he asked. With no other speakers addressing the personal property tax proposals, acting chairman Latham declared the hearing recessed until December 15. Although the supervisors had another tax related public hearing scheduled, the court room emptied, leaving no one to speak for or against a proposal for charging a late penalty on personal property taxes jrjiea after they May 1 deadline. The board voted to table that proposal for vote along with the personal property tax changes at the December 15 meeting.

After paying monthly mortgage payments for years and finally getting a glimpse of light at the end of the tunnel, it might be tempting to dip into financial reserves and pay off the loan once and for all. But should you? Psychologically, you’d get a lift from it. There’s nothing more secure, especially in later years, than the feeling of knowing that you no longer have to worry about mortgage payments. Financially, though, it would be pointless. The net effect of putting a lump sum into prepaying a mortgage balance is approximately the same as investing that amount at whatever interest rate the mortgage carries. In today’s climate, that would almost certainly mean investing at a lower rate than you could get elsewhere. You would be better off, for instance, putting your extra money into an insured, highreturn time deposit and letting the mortgage run. On top of that, you have the extra advantage of being able to use the interest paid on your mortgage as a tax deduction.

Washington. Va 22747 HOURS: 8:30 a m to 5 30 pm, Mon -Fri Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc Member. Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY. DECEMBER 4,1980 Meaningless Laws Paul St. Clair is the newest name on a long list of folks who’ve made a laughing stock of Rappahannock’s sign ordinances. He’s done the best job yet, effectively tying the county’s hands while he thumbs his nose at local laws. On November 13, the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals denied St. Clair’s request for a special use permit to put up a sign advertising his Black Kettle Restaurant. He wanted to erect the sign on Route 211 just past Washington at Greenfield Farm. The BZA unanimously denied his application. If St. Clair had learned his zoning lessons, he would have gone on ahead, put up his sign and then asked permission. Buildings and an occasional sign appear almost magically like that all the time around here. It’s the Rappahannock way—do first and then ask. But St. Clair asked first and when he was told no, he went on ahead anyway, really rubbing the county’s nose in its own laws. He was smart. First of all, he didn’t build the sign on the location stipulated in his special use permit request because not only would he need county permission, he would need approval from the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation. The county might look the other way at flagrant abuse of its ordinances but the highway department means business with its regulations. Secondly, St. Clair put his sign on the outskirts of a vertible jungle of illegal signs erected by Gibson Wharton as advertising for what passes as a roadside stand. Apparently, he figured that the county couldn’t get him for a violation of its sign ordinance without getting Wharton too. St. Clair was right. The county has ignored its own laws for so long that beginning enforcement now is a monumental effort. It’s not just Wharton and St. Clair—it’s practically every fruit stand and business between Amissville and Sperryville. According to commonwealth attorney Douglas Baumgardner, he advised the zoning administrator this week that if Col. McNear plans to enforce provisions of the sign ordinance, he should first present the issue to the board of supervisors. “Since we’re talking about a major enforcement initiative, the board of supervisors as the legislative body should have the final say in how to proceed,” Baumgardner explained. Well then, let’s get on with it and place enforcement of the county’s laws on the board’s agenda. In the past, individuals who’ve gone ahead and done whatever it was they wanted to do before asking for the permissions required in the zoning and subdivision ordinances could at least try to profess ignorance. Paul St. Clair doesn’t have that option. He’s the first to blatantly proceed in a case where there can be no question. We’re afriad he won’t be the last. It’s past time to make Rappahannock’s laws mean something and in the final analysis, the responsibility rests with the board of supervisors. Jesse Pond Remembers (Continued from Page 1) take the locks off the ammunition. “All these planes were coming down at us. Did you see ‘Tora. Tora Tora’? Tliat was a pretty accurate account except the film couldn’t capture the smell and the noise—the smell of fire, of oil smoke and cordite, the deafening noise of the explosions.” No Time For Roles During the two hour attack. Pond fired 75 rounds with five duds or unexploded shells. According to Navy regulations, he pointed out. the gun was supposed to be shut down a half hour for each dud. If the shell of a major calibre gun explodes backwards, crew members would be killed or injured. ‘‘But we couldn t shut down. I opened the breech, caught the shells in my hands and threw each one over the side. I didn’t see it but I was told that one exploded as it hit the water. Of course, that may be just a story,” Pond said. The Chew wasn’t hit by bombs and torpedos unloaded by the Japanese on the battleships although debris from the Arizona explosion rained down on the deck, according to Pond. “But we knew we’d been strafed. We were next to Battleship Row. The Japanese weren’t going to waste any bombs on us but the tail gunners had to have something to dot” On their trip back to sea, the Japanese gunners fired round after round from machine guns aimed at the Chew’s deck. “We had a big spool of six-inch towing line in front of the torpedo shack. Months later, when we let out the line to tow another ship, thousands and thousands of little 28 calibre bullets came falling out,” Pond recalled. The Chew’s captain was on shore when the attack began. He returned to his ship at 10 a.m. and hekded out in response to orders to clear the harbor, leavirii Pearl in a sea of flames froip sheets of oil that leaked from the newly refueled battleships. According to Pond, puddles of that oil burned steadily for almost a month after the attack. Search For The Enemy >rWe went out and started dropping depth charges on Japanese submarines." Pond continued. The Chew was one of six ships instructed to form up and search for the Japanese force suspected to be in the area, he said. They found nothing. “We were ordered back at dark and told another wave was coming. That’s when I got really scared. Pond remembered. He was still minus his shirt, dressed only in dungarees and a flat steel helmet. “It was bitter cold, we'd had nothing to eat. The fire in the navy yard was so bright you could read by it five miles out at sea.” Heading back toward Pearl, men on the Chew could see anti-aircraft fire. The shots were aimed at American planes mistaken for Japanese but the crew didn’t know that, according to Pond. “The cruisers came out at full tilt at dark. We knew they were our ships but it was still kind of scarey.” The second attack never materialized. Recovery work began the next day. Thousands were wounded and 2.300 were killed on December 7 at Pearl Harbor. “We lost two of our crew on the beach that day...one was found and the other was declared missing and presumed dead,” Pond said. Too old a vessel to take a more active role in the war the Chew was assigned to convoy duty. She took the West Virginia back to the States after the battleship was raised and ran escort duty with invasion forces, according to Pond. At the close of hostilities, he ended his six years in the Navy with a chief petty officer first class rating as a submarine fire control technician. Survivors Organize Memories of the day of infamy stayed sharp in Pond’s memory. When a former shipmate wrote him about a Pearl Harbor Survivors’ Association in 1963, he joined right away and a week later, attended the organization’s semi-annual convention in St. Louis with 400 to 500 other veterans. Founded in 1958, the group had expanded from the original 12 men who had decided that it would be nice if they remembered Pearl Harbor. “We're a non-political veterans’ social and fraternal organization. We don't back candidates or ask for money...We’re the only organization recognized by the Veterans’ Administration that doesn’t have its hand out for pensions or some other benefit.” Pond said. Elected to treasurer in 1974, Pond keeps records on the association's membership—now at 8,000—in his basement office, making Sperryville the business headquarters of the national organization. Last week, he dropped a load at the community's post office, sending 5,000 membership renewal notices out to addresses all across the United States. The Survivors Association is dedicated more to memory than to good works although the group did donate $31,450 to the Arizona Memorial Fund, part of which was used to pay for a 16 foot by 52 foot painting of the battleship for the new Pearl Harbor Visitors Center. The survivors of that day meet every year for a convention and every ten years, they gather in Hawaii for a sunrise service at the Punch Bowl Cemetery and sunset ceremonies at the Battleship Arizona. Next week, Pond and his wife Edith will be in Orlando, Florida, for this year’s gathering. Pearl Harbor takes up a large part of Jesse Pond’s life. The importance of the Survivors’ Association is evidenced by the space it’s allotted in the basement of the Pond’s Sperryville home. Pond is an engineer and inventor who designed a special computer piece and a clamp that holds monitoring equipment in waste water treatment plants. He makes the clamp as well as other items of metal in his downstairs machine shop. The family business, however, takes up about a fourth of the area given over to Pearl Harbor memorabilia, a complete library on that day of infamy and file after file of association records, folders and papers. “I have two husbands simultaneously,’’ joked his wife Edith. “Jesse Pond and the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association." Appointments Rushed To Judge Late Tuesday afternoon, orders drawn up by clerk Diane Bruce naming John Burke. George Muth and Charles Estes to the Board of Zoning Appeals were carried to Warrenton for Judge Shore Robertson's signature. According to commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner, the rush to fill the vacancies was initiated by zoning administrator Evan McNear. Baumgardner said that McNear reported the Rappahannock News was aware of the expiration of both Muth's and Estes’ terms and to ward off adverse publicity, suggested that appointments be made as soon as possible. Baumgardner said McNear asked if voting by members whose terms had eipired could raise questions regarding legality of any action the BZA might take at its special meeting on December 11. At that time, the BZA is scheduled to vote on an application for a special use permit from Steven Parlagreco for his Castleton Farms apartment conversion. (Copies of the project’s site plan, including floor plan for the eight two bedroom units, Legalities Raised In Mills Rezoning (Continued from Page 1) concept in all areas that have unsightly development." Carrigan said. "1 feel like I'm being backdoored into opposing Jerry’s shop.” said Steve Bullock, adjoining landowner whose property is separated from the garage by a private road. “My concern is what will happen in the future.” he said, referring to other uses which will be permitted once the commercial rezoning is approved. “I’m not really opposed to Jerry’s shop. If I was, I would have said something long before now. He’s been doing business there for a while.” Conditional Zoning Bullock expressed concern over what he described as “the beginnings of a junk yard” on Mills’ property, noting that he’s spoken to the mechanic about the accumulation of cars “even though it’s really Col. McNear’s (zoning administrator Evan McNear’s) problem to deal with.” He proposed that action be tabled until the county adopts a conditional zoning ordinance which would permit restriction on use of the property to a garage only. “I’m not opposed to the garage...I'm really opposed to what the ordinance provides for...to opening (the one acre lot) to a dry cleaning plant.” In regard to his alledged junk yard. Mills said he'd recently disposed of eight cars and had eight more waiting for pick up by the salvage man. “I have three or four more that I need to get rid of. The other four or five are operable vehicles,” he said. In addition, Mills noted, the junked cars are not parked on the one acre involved in the rezoning request but rather are stuck back in the woods. Supervisor Hubert Gilkey asked if Mills had any objections to screening the garage. "1 would do it but I really wouldn't like to,” he replied, questioning why he should have to provide screening when it wasn't required of other service stations in the county. Carrigan further suggested that Mills put up a board fence until the trees have grown tall enough to shield the garage area from view. “Without screening, there’s no way the property across the road can be used for residential development,” Carrigan concluded. When Gilkey questioned the expense for both planting evergreen seedlings and building a board fence. Carrigan explained that a fence by itself wouldn’t last long enough and seedlings alone wouldn’t screen the property effectively for several years. “If they want to furnish the materials. I’ll be glad to put it up,” joked Mills, sparking laughs from the audience of about 50 and smiles from the supervisors. With no further discussion, vote on the rezoning application was deferred until a special supervisor’s meeting set for December 15 at 10 a.m. in the court house. building use plan and rear, side and front elevations, are available for public inspection at the clerk’s office.) Baumgardner said he told the zoning administrator he had insufficient time to research the question.. The commonwealth’s attorney indicated that he believed any past action and any action taken at the December 11 BZA meetine would be j legally valid regardless of the expired terms of the BZA members. He said, however, that he called Judge Robertson with the request for immediate action to fill the three vacancies "to preclude any avenue of attack that might be open” regarding the BZA’s anticipated decision on December 11. At the supervisors’ meeting on Monday, Baumgardner Accused To the editor: Accused and convicted without a trial, it seems, is what has happened to the cafeteria employees of the two schools since Mr. Lane and Mr. Eastham neglected to mention (Nov. 27 issue Rappahannock News) which cafeteria the alleged thefts were occurring in. I suppose it would have been too much trouble to investigate the accusations made by the mysterious informers before these people were publicly accused of being thieves, but. what the heck! Who has time to worry about a person’s reputation or respect. Perhaps Mr. Lane and Mr. Eastham wouldn’t mind revealing the names of their informers or maybe they would just come forward and be given the chance to prove their accusations. At least, 1 (hat’s more than was done for the cafeteria employees. Perhaps this is all a plot to get the jobs of some of these overpaid and underworked ladies who earn a whopping salary of about $3600 a year. Maybe some of these jobs will be available soon. So Mr. Lane and Mr. Eastham, bring your aprons and your friends, get in the kitchen and rattle those pots and pans. SUSIE COFFEY Manager RCHS cafeteria and workers reported that Judge Robertson will request nominations from the supervisors representing the district where the vacancy occurs before acting on BZA appointments. In addition, he advised the three board members present at Monday’s meeting to delay action until the supervisors’ special session set for December 15. As a result of his discussion with the zoning administrator on Tuesday, Baumgardner said, clerk Diane Bruce called supervisor -H. B. Wood for his recommendation. He did not know who, if anyone, had officially contacted E. P. Luke for his although he noted that Luke had indicated his intention to nominate Estes in an earlier conversation. He added that he’d written a letter to Robinson, confirming that Muth, Estes and Burke had been nominated for the BZA by their respective supervisors. Burke Proposed (Continued from Page 1) the representative from Stonewall-Hawthorne District was reappointed. For the two remaining BZA members, chairman Josef Gardiner’s term expires in October, 1982, and James F. Massie’s in October, 1981. Planning Vacancy Supervisor vice-chairman J. R. Latham also noted that planning commissioner Newbill Miller’s term runs out on January 6, 1981. Miller, the commission’s representative from Hampton District, also serves on the county school board and holds office as mayor of Washinton. Members of the planning commission are named by the board of supervisors. Dates of expiration for other planning commission members are May, 1981, for chairman Herbert Barksdale of Wakefield District; April, 1981, for Charles Estes, representative from the BZA; May, 1982. for both Dave Fannon from Jackson District and A. Y. Stokes from Piedmont and May, 1983, for David Thornhill from Stonewall-Hawthorne. E. P. Luke represents the supervisors on the planning commission, serving at the pleasure of his board. Also up for action at the supervisors’ December 15 special meeting is Jennings Hobson’s expired term as county representative on the planning district’s community services board. School Expansion In a letter read by clerk Diane Bruce, the Rappahannock school board informed the supervisors that it is addressing curriculum needs at the high school as a prerequisite to capital outlay decisions. The letter noted that superintendent William Bloomer has recommended construction of five additional classrooms, a proposal that does not include space needs of support facilities—rest rooms, storage, cafeteria, library, guidance and central office. According to the letter, a final capital outlay report will be submitted to the supervisors after completion of the assessment on curriculum. In addition, the school board requested that the supervisors provide additional funds to the school account for installation of an underground gasoline storage tank. The supervisors proposed earlier to pay the bill directly themselves. Board chairman Beverly Massie reported that commonwealth attorney Douglas Baumgardner advised “the most prudent approach” would be to pay for the tank with money from the school board account. “Has the school board looked into finding the funds within its budget for the tank?” asked Latham, specifically mentioning a $7,000 item for outside consultant on space evaluation as a possible source. If the $7,000 isn’t spent on an expert’s advice, then the money could be used to offset part of the cost of buying and installing a bulk storage tank, Mrs. Massie replied. She pointed out, however, that the school board reevaluated its earlier decision not to. install the tanks only at the supervisors’ request and approved the tank with the condition that the supervisors would allocate supplemental funds.

Once temperatures drop for good to mark the end of warm weather, country people begin sharpening their knives and dragging out the kettles, poles and other tools of the trade. Slaughtering is dirty work but the mess and the labor are overshadowed by the comraderie as friends work together to put up a winter’s worth of meat. Killing is generally the men’s job.

He scrambled over the fence into black mud that squished over his rubber boots, raising the gun to his shoulder as the hog backed away.

Tugging and lifting, the men hoisted the carcass onto a board and with chains, slid it down a ramp from the hog pen to the scalding tub. Waves splashed up with the steam as hundreds of pounds of meat hit the hot water. After a few minutes in the scalding bath, the carcass was raised again with chains onto a plywood table where the men, like so many barbers, went to work scraping the hair from the hide. Once hairless, the hog was carried to a tripod where it was hung by its hind legs, upside down, ready to be opened. “I never did this before,” J. C. Creel acknowledged as he took a slab at gutting the carcass, “I’ve watched though and Acey may not be here next year,” he added. Just as Creel made the first ALL ABOUT SILVER Now—You can protect your silver from theft with a large capacity “Sentry” safe. See today at RANDOLPH’S APPLIANCE ft EQUIPMENT Rt. 29 N, Culpeper, Va. 825-9520 —ii incision, Frye, the group's recognized expert on hog gutting, stepped up in the nick of time to take over. With one smooth stroke, he laid the hog open, intestines and organs spilling out into a tub positioned between the three poles. It may take a lot of heart to eat a gut, as the old saying goes, but nothing in or on the pig is thrown away. After the carcasses have hung overnight to let the body heat dissipate, the women join the men for the slicing and grinding. The meat needs to be gotxl and cold to cut, one reason why hog butchering time waits for chilly nights when the thermometer dips to freezing. Hams and shoulders are removed first and with the side meat and bacon are salted down in boxes to cure. Pork chops, tenderloin, loin roasts or the “awful meat”, so named, but not too awful to use, including the spareribs, backbone and chine, depending on what you want, are cut out, frozen, canned or cixtked. Scraps left from all of this hacking are separated into sausage and lard meat. The sausage meat is seasoned and ground, then frozen, canned, stuffed into cotton sacks or rolled in the membrane from the leaf fats. The leaf fats and lard meat cut in small pieces are tossed into the lard kettle and cooked. ctx>ked and cooked, stirring all the time, until it is rendered into lard. The hot liquid is poured into cans to cool and store. The bits of fat left in the kettle are pressed into cracklins, a special treat to be eaten hot from the pot or used in the world’s best cornbread or cracklin bread. Almost last, but not least, the skin is fried for pork rinds much tastier than the bagged variety found in the junk food racks in grocery stores. The heart, kidneys, brains, sweetbreads are all eaten and the liver and face cooked for liver pudding. The water in which they are simmered is used to make “pawnhause” or something like scrapple, only belter, according to —Rappahannock News Photo/Daphne Hutchinson OUT COME THE INNARDS as Acey Frye lays open the carcass with one sweep of his knife while J.C. Creel, a novice at the art of gutting, watches and learns. long-time Rappahannock hog butcherers. The jowls and head are salted down and cured, intended to long cooking later with a mess of kale, turnip greens or cresses. The feet are pickled or boned and congealed, then fried in batter. The nose and ears at^ transformed into souse, the intestines become chitterlings and the testicles are ‘‘mountain oysters.” The maw or stomach is usually fried. Even the kids get into the act. Traditionally, they get ihe pig’s tail to save as a gift for their teacheT at Christmas. Once upon a time, before chain stores moved close enough to the country to make balls available to everyone, the hog’s bladder was cleaned, blown up and tied and used as a ball, a real pigskin rather than a plastic imitation. After the butchering and culling is through, there’s little left to clean up except for washing hands and clothes, scrubbing the table and emptying the scalding tub. The hog is gone. All that's left is the echo of a squeal. 5tk 1 Q)af | in Delaplane Village !

County Hunting or County Fishing Licenses are issued only for the county in which the purchasing sportsman resides. Agents have been instructed not to sell these licenses to non-residents of the county and sportsmen who might successfully buy such a license in anotfijer county would be subject 'to arrest for hunting with an improper license. Ga^ Commission officials f^ that some sportsmen mistakenly think they purchase such a license any county in which tf hunt. The increase in sales' these licenses seems to reaction to the increase in I fee for a State hunt! license, which increased $5.00 to $7.50 in June. At I same time, the county lie was changed from a $5,jj combination hunting a| fishing license to separi licenses priced at $3.00 ea Again, these licenses are oij legally available to resideH of the county in whi^ purchased. •Property (Offerings J NEARBY Culpeper County - FARM - 2 houses both small but charming on 160 acres of crop and woodland.
