County System Considered Emergency Services To Lose Culpeper’s Free Dispatcher By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Dispatching service from the Culpeper Sheriffs Department for local fire departments and rescue squads in Amissville, Castleton, Flint Hill and Washington will soon be discontinued, the Rappahannock supervisors learned at Monday's board meeting. According to Paul Poling, the county’s representative on the planning district's Emergency Services (EMS) Council, an increase in number of emergency calls led to the decision to terminate as of July 1 the dispatch service currently supplied free to Rappahannock. Gary Rosson, director of the EMS Council, said the increased workload on the dispatcher has interfered with efficiency. “I don’t think they’re going to be nasty,” he said, adding he expected the July 1 deadline would be extended “as long as the county is working on getting a dispatch system of its own.’’ He described the situation at both Culpeper and Fauquier’s overloaded centers as “a zoo” and maintained it would be in the county’s best interests to have its own dispatcher. If Culpeper received two emergency calls on cardiac arrests—one from Rappahannock and one from Culpeper, “you know which one is going to be handled first,” he said. Poling estimated it will cost approximately $65,9% to set up a dispatch service here, including salary and benefits for four full-time and one part-time position, power connections, telephone line rental and radio equipment for both emergency services and police department. Under Law Enforcement Poling reported that SerifT W. A. Buntin has agreed to support the county dispatch operation ‘‘but not at the expense of things his department needs” Under Poling’s proposal, salaries of the dispatchers, as law enforcement personnel, would be picked up by the State Compensation Board. “I’m not going to oppose this but my primary concern is with the sheriff's department,” Buntin said on Monday. He expressed concern that a request for police dispatchers funded through the state might jeopardize his plans for asking for two additional deputies and two more police cars next year. In addition, Buntin said he’s satisfied with the dispatch service his department currently received at no cost from the Culpeper sheriff s department, assistance that won’t be affected by the decision to eliminate dispatch service to Rappahannock’s emergency services. “Sheriff Peters told us last year that he has no intentions of cutting us off,” Buntin said. “But that could change...The Culpeper Sheriffs Department might get overloaded next year,” he acknowledged. In addition to personnel, space will be required to house the dispatch center, Poling said. The State Compensation Board will probably pay salaries and benefits, approximately $42,700. In addition, he said, it may be possible to secure federal funding with a 50 percent or 25 percent local match to cover the cost of radio equipment for rescue services ($8,387), radio equipment for law enforcement ($9,449) and communications tower ($4,100). Also money is available ‘from the state through the Rescue Squad Assistance Fund Act but, said Poling, the application must be in Richmond by March 15 to be eligible this year. Red Oak Best Site According to a recent county survey, Poling continued, Red Oak Mountain is the prime location for the tower. He added that a tower there could also handle communications between hospitals and ambulances planned for the future when advanced life support systems are included in rescue equipment. The owner of the Woodville mountain top, however, has refused to either sell or lease the site, according to Poling. ‘‘We have been turned down (with) a flat no," he said. Alternative sites on Bessie Bell, Jenkins and Hickerson Mountains would require taller, more expensive towers plus the added cost of running power and telephone lines to the location, Poling reported. ‘‘There’s a possibility of making the site (on Red Oak Mountain) available if you went through the right process of eminent domain," Poling told the supervisors. He added that the property owner is opposed to allowing the tower on esthetic grounds. According to Poling, the abandoned fire tower already on the site is 25 feet high, approximately the same heigth needed for the communications tower. As the rescue services spokesman, he said, he’d offered to paint the tower so that it blends into the surroundings but the land owner “wasn’t interested.” Condemnation? “I hate to sound tough,” responded supervisor E. P. Luke, “but we have to solve these problems and we’re getting waylaid by the public at every dam turn...One way to keep taxes down is with a strong volunteer effort and strong public cooperation.” In trying to deal with the issues facing Rappahannock, he said, the supervisors have been increasingly met by "hostility and a lack of cooperation.” If this attitude continues, the supervisor chairman maintained, local government will "have to bite the bullet and go to condemnation" in order to protect the health, safety and welfare of the county’s citizens. "If the public wants to do away with fire and rescue, all they have to do is come up here and tell us," Luke said. He noted that emergency services receive "peanuts" in the way of tax dollars—just (Continued on Page 4) Bond Revoked, Hearing Set For Douglas New Assessment Notices To Go Out Next Week By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Nem Staff Writer Small tracts of land, including lots on steeply sloped hillsides, are Rappahannock’s most valuable pieces of property, according to Jerry Hall, appraiser from the State Department of Taxation who is conducting the county’s 100 percent fair market value assessment. Hall was at Monday's meeting of the supervisors to answer question apparently sparked by constituents upset over values placed On their land. Supervisor chairman E. P. Luke wanted to know how a wooded tract could be valued at SI,500 an acre and adjacent pasture at only S800 an acre. Arson Suspected In Fire Michael O’Connor, special arson investigator with the Virginia State Police, has been asked to look into Monday's fire at Blue Rock Farm that left Foxfire Ltd. Partnership’s barn in ashes. Getus Garke called in the report of the fire from Rappahannock County High School at approximately 4:30 p.m. By the time the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Company arrived at the scene »» am» plater, the building was already engulfed in flames, according to eye witnesses. O'Connor said on Tuesday that the smoldering debris was still much too hot to checkv/fte listed the fire as of unknown origin. "I can’t tell anything until I get into the barn," he said. According to O'Connor, the large barn on Route 211 across the highway from the high school had hay stored in the loft and a tractor and generator on the Possibly the wooded land was a small parcel and the pasture part of a large tract. Hall replied. “Small acreage is worth more,” he said. In addition, sales indicate that some of the steep land “with the views" is the most valuable, particularly in smaller lots, of all Rappahannock property, he reported. Up to about 50 acres, it doesn’t seem to make much difference what type of land it is. Hall continued, because buyers are purchasing homesites, not farms. He acknowledged, however, that in large parcels of 400 to 500 acres, steep land is still the county's cheapest. With adjoining pieces of property, ownership doesn’t affect the value placed on the land. Hall continued. For example, a five acre parcel of farm land adjacent to a 500 acre piece, both under the same ownership, are valued separately, not as one 505 acre tract. “I assume they’re separate tracts if they can be sold separately," Hall said. In appraising houses, he said he uses a combination of construction costs, the primary factor for new homes, and sales, the primary factor for older houses. He acknowledged that not all sale prices accurately reflect market values. “In using sales figures, I try to temper them with my judgement. You find some that just don’t make sense.” Hall said. Supervisor H. B. Wood said he thought Hall should strive for equalization of house and land values throughout the county. The appraiser replied that buildings "will run a lot closer” in equal values from one end of the county to the other than land does. He cited Hampton District as having the highest land values of any area of Rappahannock. Hall reported that assessment notices with the new 100 percent fair market values will be mailed out within the next 10 days. Then, he said, he will hold public hearings with landowners who call the commissioner of revenue’s office for appointments. After these hearings, “1 will make whatever decisions 1 think justified,” said Hall. Then the figures will go back to the computer for compilation into the land book. Hall next signs the book and 30 days later, dissatisfied landowners can begin making applications to the Board of Equalization which may sit until the end of the year. The only avenue of appeal from the Board’s decisions is to the circuit court. “The Equalization Board's job is not so much to set values but' to look at equality,” Hall said. Board members are recommended by the supervisors and appointed by the circuit court judge. In answer to an inquiry from Wood, Hall said he WWlglu \H« CvUHlj OTHMr approval to use current assessment figures on the tax bills which will go out this November but maintained that there’s "plenty of time” to have the new 100 percent assessment figures finalized by that time. "Fair market value is giving me problems,” Luke commented. Hall defined “fair market value” as the price agreed upon by a reasonable buyer and a reasonable seller who both have general knowledge of the property involved. He agreed with Luke that “sales are the only indication of what property is going for." Hall added that he has enough sales figures for small and medium sized parcels to judge value but acknowledged that sales figures for large tracts are almost non-existent. He maintained large parcels are worth less for the very fact that buyers are fewer. According to Hall, he determines a property’s worth on the basis of its condition on the day of his inspection. In setting value on a 100 acre parcel, he said, he must view it as just that and not presuppose its worth should the supervisors approve its rezoning and subdivision into four 25-acre lots. “I have no problem with changing an assessment figure if people show me I’ve made a mistake." Hall said. “But I have no problem with raising as well as lowering the figures. I don't want people to assume they can complain and wMauaMb fcava IVm assessment lowered." t or IN PE. A Campground Ordinance Validity Is Threshhold Question ground floor. He noted that Monday’s blaze was the second fire at Blue Rock Farm in three days. On Friday. January 30, a smaller barn located further back on the property burned. "I don’t have any details yet on Friday’s fire," O'Connor added. The arson investigator said he doesn’t suspect there’s any connection between the fires at Blue Rock Farm and the fire that destroyed four bams in Sperryville last Halloween. The individual charged with arson in connection with the Sperryville barn burning has been in police custody since December 24. By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Nrw» Staff Writer The validity of sections of Rappahannock’s zoning ordinance will be determined by Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson as the first step in resolving the continuing controversy over the Nationwide Pentacostal Evangelistic Association's campground near Rock Mills. At a pretrial conference held in chambers last week, attorneys for adjoining landowers, the county and the NPEA agreed that Robertson should decide as a matter of law whether Article In Rappahannock circuit court on Wednesday, Judge Shore Robertson revoked bond for Ernest Lee Douglas, 34, of Richmond, remanding him to custody in the Fauquier County jail until a commitment hearing set for February 7. Douglas was originally charged with the malicious shooting of Peter Marx of Washington. The incident occurred on November 18, 1979, near the town of Washington. His capability to stand trial was questioned, however, and so Douglas received psychiatric evaluation, first locally and then at Central State Hospital and the University of Virginia. Under a plea agreement reached last November, Douglas was given a year's trial probation under a $1,000 personal recognizance bond and, among other conditions of good behavior, was required to continue psychiatric treatment on an outpatient basis. He also waived his right to a speedy trial. At Wednesday s hearing, commonwealth's attorney Douglas Baumgardner asked for revocation of Douglas' bond and his commitment to Central State, charging that he failed to meet the probation condition for psychiatric treatment. According to testimony from the director of outpatient services at the Chesterfield Mental Health Clinic, Douglas was told he could receive services from the clinic on a walk-in basis on weekdays between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. Vickie Griffin testified that office records show Douglas called once on December 4, 1980, was told the in-take worker was with a client and said he would call back. With no further contact from Douglas by January 7, she said, the clinic contacted Baumgardner and Douglas’ court appointed attorney to report that he hadn’t come in for psychiatric treatment as stipulated in the court order, a copy of which was sent to the clinic. On January 13, according to Griffin, Douglas called again, concerned that the clinic had contacted Rappahannock authorities and reported him in noncompliance with the court order. He came in a half hour later on that same day, Griffin said. She added that the police were notified of his arrival since a warrant had been issued for Douglas' arrest. The building was evacuated of staff and clients and the director, head of the clinic’s crisis control team, met with Douglas, she said. Under cross examination by Douglas who served as his own attorney, Griffin said that a clinic staff member logs every call related to requests for services, including inquiries from individuals not accepted as clients. Asked if services are ever refused due to funding shortfalls, Griffin answered that the clinic turns down only those people who are able to get help elsewhere. She acknowledged that the (Continued on Page 2) 6 on residential subdivision zones is valid. Unlike other sections of the zoning ordinance. Article 6 lists neither uses allowed by right nor special permitted uses for a residential subdivision district. According to request for declaratory judgement filed by the county on January 5, zoning administrator Evan McNear, acting in accordance with advice from former commonwealth's attorney George Davis, has allowed in a residential subdivision zone any use permitted in a residential zone. On this basis, McNear issued permits two years ago to the NPEA to construct three buildings on its 9.05 acres zoned residential subdivision. Without approvals from the county, the NPEA also installed trailer hookups to serve campers and recreational vehicles expected during its annual two-week camp meeting. Despite complaints from neighboring landowners, the camp meeting—with trailers and trailer hook-ups—went on as scheduled in 1979. After initiation of legal action on behalf of the landowners by Washington attorney David Konick, use of the property as a campground was prohibited during the 1980 campmeeting. In addition, Rappahannock’s board of zoning appeals attached conditions to a temporary special use permit, including limits on hours and attendance at the camp meeting's outdoor revival services held every evening and restrictions on use of outdoor lights and loudspeakers. In a suit filed last December, Konick asked the court to find current usage of the NPEA’s property in violation of the county’s zoning laws and to compel the supervisors and zoning administrator to enforce provisions of that law allegedly violated by the NPEA. In response from the county, commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner petitioned the (Continued on Page 2) Water Shortage Over Conservation, the new well and long awaited rains have put an end to Washington's water problems, at least for the time being. Mayor Newbill Miller reported on Tuesday evening that the town's reservoir tank was full to its 100,000 gallon capacity. He attributed the increase in water reserves to decreased consumption by town residents, heavier volume than the original four gallon per minute flow expected from the new town well and the downpour Sunday night and Monday morning that brought the springs on Jenkins Mountain, primary source for Washington’s water system, back to life. Miller said he will ask the town council at next Wednesday’s meeting to rescind emergency water rates enacted to off-set the high cost of hauling in water to the reservoir but emphasized that the emergency rates could be put back into effect if water supplies again decreased. "We still don’t want anyone wasting water,” tne mayor stressed. According to Miller, he is continuing negotiations to purchase land designated by a gelologist with the State Division of Minerals and Natural Resources as the best site for another town well.

If Ordinance Invalid, What’s Next? (Continued from Page 1) court invJanuary to rule whether the zoning ordinance’s section on residential subdivisions is valid and enforceable. The validity of Article 6, the “threshold question” in the ongoing litigation, will be decided by Robertson as a matter of law within the next two months without testimony from either side. The attorneys at Wednesday’s pre-trial conference—Konick for James Grigsby and other adjoining landowners, Jonathon Lyne and Ben Jones for the NPEA and Baumgardner for the count—agreed to stipulate that the zoning ordinance had been enacted and that the NPEA porperty was zoned residential subdivision. If Invalid, Then What? The second question Robertson will have to answer is what happens to the NPEA property if the section on residential subdivisions is declared invalid, Jones noted. Konick maintained that the validity of Article I must also be determined. Article I lists the different zoning categories and stipulates that no building shall be erected or altered for any purpose other than the uses listed as permitted in the district in which the building is located. It further states, among other conditions, that no land use will be permitted which is hazardous to or in conflict with the predominant character of the neighborhood, adversely affects the perfce. tranquility, health and safety of persons living or working in the neighborhood or will adversely affect property values. “Ninety per cent of this ordinance, quite frankly, is going to get thrown out," Jones responded. (Pleadings filed by the NPEA’s attorneys as well as by Konick and Baumgardner deal solely with the ordinance as applied to the NPEA property. Therefore, the legal proceedings involved in the camp ground controversy challenge only the validity of specific sections of the ordinance, not the county’s entire body of zoning law.) Konick maintained that Robertson will have to decide which prevails—the “catchall” conditions in Article I or the more specific regulations included in other sections of the zoning ordinance. He also agreed with Jones that a, determination has to be made on what the NPEA property is zoned if the residential subdivision section is declared invalid. If that happens, Konick maintained, it will nullify the supervisors’ action in 1976 to rezone the property, then known as the Lindgren-Noce tract, from agriculture to residential subdivision, leaving the NPEA’s' 9.05 acres with its original agricultural zoning. When, said Konick, the court must rule if the zoning ordinance’s section on agricultural districts. Article 2, is valid. In that district, campgrounds,i seasonal camps and public buildings of all kinds are allowed with a special permit. The ordinance, however, does not define “public buildings of all kinds.’’ In addition churches are not specifically included as either a use by right or a special permitted use in an agricultural district. - Unzoned Jones maintained that the NPEA property will revert back to being "unzoned” if the residential subdivision district is declared invalid. “You can do anything you want with no zoning,” he NEW!

Robertson asked Baumgardner to draft an order setting out the questions to be resolved and the stipulations agreed upon by attorneys for the three factions. In addition, he allowed two weeks after the order is entered for all sides to file briefs on what happens to the 9.06 acres if the residential subdivision is declared invalid plus twn more days to respond to the briefs. After Baumgardner announced he would have to consult with the county’s insurance carrier on how to proceed before drawing up the order, Konick agreed to drop the claim for $20,000 in 1 legal fees from the suit filed against the county on the i landowners’ behalf. 1 Konick's request for an 1 injunction prohibiting the ( NPEA from holding its camp « meeting this year as already ] planned was denied by !

EMS Council Sets Budget The RappahannockRapidan Emergency Medical Services Council agreed on a 1981-82 total budget of $229,290 at their January 27 meeting. Federal funds will be requested for $175,265 of their budget. Matching local funds of $54,025 will be needed from Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock counties. Hospitals and rescue squads primarily contribute these matching funds. Letters of support from the Boards of Supervisors of these five counties will also be requested. EMSC financial plans for 1981 through 1984 are now being presented to local boards by Gary Rosson, Field Coordinator. In addition to purchasing more equipment, the 1981-82 budget will expand communication systems to transmit electrocardiograms to hospital emergency rooms, electric counter-shock defibrillation, and advanced training for personnel to become Emergency Medical Technician-Cardiac (EMT-C) EIGHTH GRADE industri built as a class project. “I’r RCHS shop teacher, Tom V Johnson Traces County History C.

Part of this Fairfax Proprietary, as it was known then, is Rappahannock County and Johnson will trace many of the local deeds on record today back to Lord Fairfax. Born and raised in Rappahannock, Johnson's forebearers formerly held title to Red Oak Mountain in Woodville. His family married into the Wood family who owned the Sperryville farm where Ned and his wife Elisabeth now reside. A graduate of Virginia Military Institute with a degree in civil engineering, Johnson worked for the Pennsylvania railroad as a right-of-way engineer before returning to the county in 1936 to farm. Committed to the future of agriculture in Rappahannock, Johnson founded the Rappahannock Apple Growers Cooperative and helped start both the cold storage cooperative and old Sperryville apple juice plant. In addition to raising apples and serving as a director of the Shenandoah Apple Processing Cooperative in Winchester, Johnson breeds registered black Angus cattle. His 750 acre Sperryville farm comprises the county’s first, and to date only, agricultural and forestal district.

Malaysia is a country which was formed following the disolution of the imperial forms of government after World War II. At first the area was divided into several separate countries but in 1%1 they were united under one banner. The Federation of Malaysia. bringing together North Borneo; Sarawak, Brunie and Malaya and uniting three quite different cultural groups, Indians. Chinese and Malays. Libby was taught the native language when sent to Melaka before actually beginning her service, but since the predominant language is English she did not find communication too difficult. Once in Malaysia, she lived in a city south of the capital and rode her motor bike to the villages where she concentrated on atsimttng with projects which were related to the increase of milk production and raising cattle. ■ For her talk at the library, she will bring with her some of the fashions from that part of the world including Saris, Sarong and the Malay Dress, the Malay Kabaya as well as other artifacts.

Probably not. but I'll tell you anyway. A few centuries ago, an acre was considered to be the amount of land a man could plow in a day with a yoke of oxen. The British Weights and Measures Act of 1878 defined it as containing 4,840 square yards and this “statute" acre was adopted "by Canada and the United States. If you are of the internatipnally-landed inclination, be very careful about offers of parcels of acres in foreign countries. The English. Canadian, and U.S.A. acre doesn't mean a thing in other countries. Here are a few examples: In Argentina, the unit is called a Manzana and it measures 2.47 acres. In Austria. the Joch measures 1.42 acres. A ten-acre Siberian salt mine will actually measure 27 of our acres. And if you decide to buy some waterfront property along the Brazilian Amazon, remember that the Brazilian Hectare measures 2.47 acres. ... -*• sW. -.4 If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M.

Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5,1981 In Richmond Committee Approves Lowering State Sales Tax on Food By BOB BUNNELL Arundel Newspapers Staff By a 10-8 vote, the House of Delegates Finance Committee decided last week in favor of a bill providing an $18 tax credit and a decrease of 2 percent in the state sales tax on food. The approved bill, sponsored by Del. Archibald A. Campbell, D-Wythe, chairman of the committee, incorporated the contents of Campbell’s original proposal to cut the 4 percent tax on food in half and of a bill introduced by Del. C. Richard Cranwell, DRoanoke, that provided tax credits for food for low and moderate income Virginians. Campbell predicted that the bill will pass the House, but it must face a powerful array of opponents in both houses of the General Assembly, including House Speaker A. L. Philpott, DHenry, and Sen. Edward E. Willey, D-Richmond, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. Opponents at last week’s committee meeting seemed most nervous by the projected revenue loss of more than $200 million annually if the bill succeeds. In case the bill fails, Del. James S. Christian Jr., DRichmond, has waiting a bill that contains ty^lajiaccdits, but, food from 4 to 3 percent. The food tax bill drew both praise and criticism at a public hearing last week. Most vocal of the opponents was Alex Hamilton, a lobbyist for the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation, who contended that the sales tax on food was the only form of taxes many citizens pay to help fond the state’s SI 1.7 billion biennial budget. “We think it’s a good vehicle for all people to pay for their government,” Hamilton said. Hamilton’s remarks drew a sharp reply, however, from Del. David G. Brickley, DPrince William, who asked him, “How many times have you come before this committee asking for tax credits and other breaks? We’ve been fairly responsive, I might add,” Brickley said. Brickley cast one of the 10 votes for the bill, as did two Fairfax delegates, Del. Martin H. Ferper, R-Fairfax, and Del. John S. Buckley, RFairfax. Buckley, who votes last of the 20 committee members, held the balance on the bill’s fate when his turn to vote came with the tally 9-8 in favor. Motions fail if they end in tie votes. However, Buckley, who campaigned in favor of total repeal of the tax on food, hesitated before voting for the bill. “I’m not totally happy with it, but I decided compromise.” . Buckley naaMii.n After the vote, Del. Warren G. Stambaugh, DArlington, momentarilv threatened to change his vote, a move which would have resulted in defeat of the bill. Stambaugh’s principal motivation appeared to be to make reference to Campbell’s vote a week earlier against Stambaugh’s bill that would have eliminated the tax on food altogether, leaving only the 1 percent tax on food returned to localities by the state. Under Campbell’s bill, localities will continue receiving the same amount of sales tax money from the state that they receive with the 4 percent tax. Voting against the bill were Del. Raymond R. (Andy) Guest Jr., D-Warren, and Del. George P. Beard Jr., D-Culpeper. After the vote was taken, Del. Guest, who represents the 17th District had the following response: “This Sunday, Governor Dalton issued a statement reflecting a serious concern which I share and 1 believe you will share, too, that being the inevitable effects subsequent to a tax cut in Virginia,’’ said Guest. “Friday afternoon the Finance Committee on which 1 serve, narrowly approved a 2 percent reduction in the sales tax on food.

FIVE YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS THE Rappahannock News of February 5, 1976, announced the plans for a school survey to determine the numbers of children who would be attending school in the next few years. All parents who had children who would be 4, 5, or 6 before January 1 of the following year were to call the school and leave their names and ages. Featured on the front page were pictures of the Jenkins Auction House, which had recently moved from Sperryville to Washington. An open house was scheduled for that Saturday. The Village Beauty Salon advertised permanent specials in Amissville. There was also a frosting special, including shampoo and set, for $18.00. A new postmaster was announced for Amissville. He was David Yokum of Sterling, Mr. Yokum had been acting as postmaster since the death of Mrs. Alma Nethers. The News ran a picture of the dismantling of the old Amissville fire house. Cletus Prints was taking the old budding down for his son, William, after purchasing it from the Virginia Department of Highways. Controversy continued to rage over the proposed Rappahannock Kindergarten, with several letters to the editor on the subject. An article noted that Captain Peter H. Luke, son of retired Air Force Colonel and Mrs. E.P. Luke of Sperryville had been honored for outstanding duty performance in Thailand. TEN YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS IN THE Thursday, February 4 issue of the Rappahannock News, a picture of Jessamine Hill Farm appeared on the front page along with the news that the property had been purchased by nationally known newscaster Frank McGee. - The early February weather of ten years ago was quite similar to this weeks, with thermometers registering one degree that Tuesday and two degrees on Monday. Precipitation recorded for the month was 2.55 inches. In spite of the cold weather, Mrs. Charlie Hackley had a very busy weekend, as reported in the Viewtown and Castleton News. She had as her guests Walter Dodson of Sperryville, Mr. and Mrs. Billy Dodson of Rixeyville, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hackley and daughters of Fairfax, Mrs. Bertie Hackley, Mrs. Gladys Mozingo and Mr. and Mrs. Acrey Dodson. Stokes Clothing Store continued their going-out-of-business sale with ladies dresses at $1.00, Men’s Insulated Underwear at $1.00, and Men’s Corduroy Pants at $3.75. TWENTY YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS Front page news in the Rappahannock News on February 2, 1961 was a garter snake killed by Mr. Rufus Williams of Chester Gap. He found the snake when he went to the spring for water. It measured 30 inches in length by one inch in diameter. In other front-page news, John R. Woodward of Marshall announced his candidacy for the House of Delegates, representing Fauquier and Rappahannock counties. His candidacy was subject to the July Democratic primary. William M. Haun and Thomas C. Haun were disgusted at not being able to get around in the snowy' and icy weather so they got out their old buggy, hitched up Old Dobbin, and got over the snow drifts to town. In Slate Mill News, Friday evening callers of the Conner Jenkins were Mrs. Lucy Jenkins and children, Charles Henry, and Linda of the F.T. Valley. Monday visitors were Mrs. Roy Atkins and Beverly Sue of Sperryville. Glenn Ford and Debbie Reynolds provided some comic relief to the severe weather in The Gazebo playing in Front Royal.

PETER KRAMER Washington Motion To Fly To the editor: In the spring of 1979, another of those senseless, tragic murders you hear about too often occurred in Mexico. Two young people, Bob Coles and a companion, were traveling through the country, and Bob was shot and killed while pursuing theives who had stolen his backpack. Bob happened to have been a very talented young man, a poet and a member of a dance troupe. The Last Minute Wood Company of Rappahannock. A living and very personal tribute was paid to him Saturday night in Warrenton. at Laura Crowne’s Moving Arts Center. His friend and founder of the dance company, Sally Nash, choreographed and had performed a memorial to her friend Bob, MOTIONS TO FLY. Ms. Nash's work was a very free-form and imaginative fusion of interpretative dance. Bob Cole’s own poetry set to music and sung by Don Zuckerman, and occassional guitar segments performed by Phil Zuckerman and Larry Snitzler. The leads in the cast Saturday night were sensitively performed by Laura Crowne, creating the character of Bob Coles himself, and Jeanne Drevas and Susan Ostrenga as his friends on the road and at home. Other members of the troupe are Maureen Day, Carla Eugster, Cathy Kiley, Laurie Marshall and Nan Reddick. We have all had the need to express our feelings of grief and mourning when someone we care about is taken from us. How wonderful it is to have the ability to do so in such a creative, sharing way. EDRIE HARLAN Middleburg, Va. THE BARN AT Blue Rock Farm was a roaring inferno in a matter of minutes after fire was discovered by a motorist passing by. Several fire companies responded and were able to save other buildings nearby. Delegate’s Report By GEORGE P. BEARD I found one thing in Richmond that is cheap and that is plain ole ice. We had a couple of warm days so thirst became a problem. A soft drink ordered from the sandwich shop comes foil of ice and very little flavor. A fellow with a snowball machine down here could make a fortune. Speaking of snow balling, bills are really rolling now. Many are getting killed in committee and some on the Floor. One killed was a bill to allow the Governor to appoint the head of the Game Commission instead of being appointed by the Commission. I received mail and calls against this bill from the hunters and fishermen back home opposing H and unless one comes over from the Senate side, this little jewel is now “deader than a mackeral”. A bill passed the House, now on its way to the Senate, that would allow 18 year olds to drink beer on the premises but only 19 year olds or better can buy it to take out. This bill was pushed by The defense lawyers of the House were successful in killing a Senate passed bill to allow bifurcated trials. Trials that would allow juries to receive the past history of criminals after they had reached a decision of guilty or innocence and a second trial would be held to determine the penalty. I remember campaigning on this kind of trial and each year it gets killed by the House. Another interesting bill that passed was a bill leaving everything to the surviving spouse if there is no will. Any children surviving would be left out. In case of a divorced spouse that remarries and has two sets of children, the second wife only gets one third and both sets of children divide up the twothirds remaining. If this bill passes the Senate and is signed by the Governor, there will be a need for considering a will in some cases. Another bill making it tougher for men getting divorces is in the Senate. A judge will have to take into account, based on the new law, the value of a woman’s worth who keeps house instead of bringing in a pay check. She can be awarded a lump sum settlement based on the Judge’s decision. Here’s one that women didn’t fare so well under. If a husband can prove that his exwife, who is receiving alimony, is living with another man, he is permitted to cease paying alimony. Boy, the Senate is going to have its hands full with these bills. In the future if a person owes for state services such as student loans, state hospital claims, etc., any tax refund check will be held up until the claim is settled in fall. Because of the redistricting , holdup primary elections have moved up from June 9th , to September 8th.

Game Harvest Figures Released Preliminary totals for the game harvest in Virginia during the recently concluded hunting seasons reveal that the number of turkeys killed increased considerably over the previous year. During the Fall 1980 Turkey Season a total of 10,720 birds were tallied statewide. This represents an increase of 1,604 birds over the same period during the 1979 Fall Turkey Season. High number counties in the turkey harvest were topped by Bath County which recorded 442 birds during the 1980 season as compared to the 431 recorded in 1979. Buckingham County was next with a total of 416. This was 44 less than the previous year’s harvest when 460 birds were tagged. Rockbridge County accounted for 392 birds in the Fall ’80 season, It looks now like the secondary school systems throughout the State will wind up with no less than $1185.00 per pupil for the coming year. The Appropriations Committee is still trying to see if it cannot be raised a little more. It Sure will help our counties in funding for schools and every dollar helps. There will be no reduction in funds for Mental Health and $27 Vi million will be added to Corrections to reimburse our counties for. the already short fund in feeding and caring for prisoners. Another interesting fact revealed by Mr. Walker, is that we have 203 juveniles in confinement and it will cost the taxpayers over $17,000 each during the next 15 months in confinement. Wouldn’t we parents love to have that kind of funding for raising our own. Major problems in corrections are created by Federal Judges and Federal Government edicts. For example, one ch Service 1 Poling explained that Sheriff Buntin must first determine personnel needs for operating a dispatch service for the sheriffs department, request the supervisors to endorse the positions and then forward the application on the State Compensation Board for approval. In the meantime, he said, representatives from fire and rescue departments will be investigating opportunities for federal erants with local matching funds. The supervisor chairman suggested that Buntin note in his request to the Compensation Board that the free dispatch service provided to the Rappahannock Sheriffs 66 more than the 326 birds which were tagged in that county in 1979. Botetourt County ranked fourth in the totals with 371 birds tagged. This was an increase of 79 turkeys from the previous season. The deer harvest, also only preliminary at this time, represents an increase from the previous season of 5,094 animals. In the 1979 season a total of 69,926 deer were killed. During the recently concluded season the total was (as of January 23, 1981) 75,020. Interestingly enough this preliminary figure is again very close to the estimate predicted by Supervising Game Biologist Jack Gwynn. Gwynn estimated (before the season began) that the total harvest would be 75,258. Since all of the tags are not as yet judge is trying to make the states have-individual rooms for prisoners instead of the dormitory system and if this ever becomes law our State will really be in a mess unless funding comes with the edict That’s .all for now, deadline is coming close, we are keeping our fingers crossed on making it. See you next week. roEnd Department by Culpeper may be withdrawn at any time. Supervisor Hubert Gilkey also asked for a check with the Compensation Board on the chances of having four full-time and one-part-time dispatcher positions approved for funding. Luke volunteered to meet with Poling and Culpeper planner Charlie Carter to see if the dispatch service to Rappahannock’s fire and rescue squads could be continued on a fee basis or through some type of cooperative agreement. “If not. I think we should set up our own dispatch system,” he stated. counted his estimate may be even closer than it is at the present time, when the final figures are compiled. The five counties which registered the top harvest figures were: Southampton with 3,330 compared to 3,252 in 1979; Buckingham with 2,319 versus 1,775 in ’79; Rockingham, 2,152 against 2,006; Bath with 1,870, down somewhat from the 1,987 tagged in 1979 and Amelia with 1,854 in 1980 compared to 1,526 in 1979.

Sen. Miller Supports Farmland Preservation This year the General Assembly will consider a package of bills designed to encourage the preservation of Virginia’s farmland. I feel that the passage of these bills would mark a significant step forward for agri-industries in Virginia. The first of these measures expresses the Legislature’s concern over the rapid rate at which much of Virginia’s prime agricultural land is being converted to nonagricultural uses. Agriculture and related industries comprise the largest and most important segment of Virginia’s economy and any threat to it should be taken seriously. This bill requires seven State agencies which influence land use to develop a plan for a farmland preservation policy. In addition, when any State agency’s program or project would result in loss of agricultural land, the proposal must be submitted to the Department of Agriculture who would then review the plan and make recommendations to the Governor. I feel that this legislation is long overdue and will support it wholeheartedly in the Senate. Another important bill will attempt to ensure that the Extension Division at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University focuses mainly on agriculture as was intended at its inception. The services which the Division Sursum Corda Board Named Sursum Cord a School and Day Care Center’s Board of Directors met last month to initiate new officers and discuss school business. The new officers are Diana Bird, President; Susan Levick, Vice-President; and Susan McArdell, SecretaryTreasurer.

SAMI_wo _ Iowa_pwONt _ provides to suburban residents are important, but they must not overshadow the rural agriculturally oriented citizens who should be the Division’s primary constituents. An additional bill would include agriculture as one of the factors which local governments could consider when developing comprehensive plans. Localities would still retain the option to encourage development if they chose, but areas like ours, where preservation of farmland is important, would be able to make zoning decisions aimed at that goal. I think this bill would be of benefit to the localities in my district and I will support the measure. With these bills in the hopper this year, we must also look to our future needs in the area of farmland preservation. There will be an effort this year to authorize a study of potential preservation laws. Such a study should be complete by next year and the Legislature would then be able to take further steps to ensure that Virginia’s valuable agricultural land will be preserved for generations yet to come. As always, I encourage my constituents to keep in contact with me on matters of concern to them.

Heart Drive Continues Since so many people die of heart disease each year, the American Heart Association has compiled a list of warning signs to watch for, according to Mrs. Q. Earl Yancey of Amissville, chairman of the Rappahannock County fund drive. These symptoms are: uncomfortable pressure, fullness, squeezing or pain in the center of the chest, lasting two minutes or more. Pain may spread to shoulders, neck, or arms. Severe pain, dizziness, fainting, sweating, nausea or shortness of breath may also occur. Mrs. Yancey warns that these signs are not always present, and if there is any doubt, help should be found immediately. What happens during the first two hours after the onset of the attack can mean the difference between life and death. dDbituaries Chrisman Funeral services for Mrs. Mescal Wagner Chrisman of Sperryville were conducted Wednesday at the Sperryville United Methodist Church by the Rev.

Correction In last week’s article on Virginia Dodson’s rezoning application, the Rappahannock News incorrectly reported remarks made by Charles Dodson. Dodson warned that should his wife's request be turned down, he would fight the denial through legal channels if it took $100,000. He did not say that he had a $100,000 investment in the proposed commercial garage for which the commercial rezoning is being sought. The News regrets the error.

She taught a total of 44V? years in schools in Rappahannock and Warren Counties. She graduated from high school in Amissville, Virginia, received her Normal Professional Certificate in 1932 and her B.S. degree in Education from Madison College in 1954. A dedicated and devoted teacher to her pupils and her community, she was (and is) an inspiration to all the members of the Rappahannock Retired Teacher's Association who knew her and treasure her memory. Since February is Heart Month, and Miss Riley was a victim of coronary disease, we thought this an appropriate time to honor her memory.

Diary Of A Trip To Williamsburg Two weeks ago, the seventh grade classes from Rappahannock Elementary School took their annual trip to Richmond, Williamsburg and Jamestown. Teachers assigned five youngsters to keep a diary of their adventures and the following is their report. On Wednesday, January 21, 1981, we left Rappahannock County Elementary School and our destination was Richmond. We arrived at the state Capitol building. There we met our delegate, George Beard of Culpeper. We also toured the rest of the building and learned some of the most important events about Virginia’s history. Next we toured the Science Museum. There unlike many other museums, we were asked to touch and play with everything. There were mirrors, telescopes, and weird fish. We ate lunch there on the buses. Finally we toured the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. It was very interesting. We were able to visit priceless exhibits throughout the museum, such as the Faberge and Dali jewelry collections. (Henry B. Wood) We arrived in Williamsburg at 4:00 in the afternoon. One of the first places we visited was the Information Center where we saw the very enjoyable movie, "The Story of a Patriot". This movie was about a colonial family, which was rather wealthy. The man of this particular movie was John Frye, who worked very hard to be like his father, who had passed away. It was about the triumphs and letdowns of the Frye family as Mr. Frye served in the House of Burgesses. After dinner we went to the Wax Museum. This was very interesting and sort of scary. The people there were made of wax; they moved. -N-O-T-l-C-ERappahannock Landowners with questions concerning riuMiuntnll may make an appointment to be heard by calling the office in Washington on Saturday, February 7,1981 between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. The number to call is 703/675-3513 Prestige Rental Downtown Warrenton, at corner of Culpeper and Lee Streets.

Barksdale, Chairman breathed, and they looked as if they were staring at you. The museum had buttons that you were supposed to push to explain what the scenery was about. They also had signs you read to describe the scene. This is only the first day, but it has been fun. I think that anyone who hasn’t visited Williamsburg will enjoy it. (Christine Lillard) Today, Thursday, January 22, we took a daytime tour of Williamsburg with guides. We learned all about 18th century life in Williamsburg. We toured old buildings and visited the old stores and craft shops. We learned about the way people dressed, and the way they cooked. We talked about the way things were made then. Later on we visited the College of William and Mary. We all found out what it was like to be in college in the 18th century. When we visited the House of Burgesses we saw the courtroom and the Council Chambers. Virginia’s government before the revolution was controlled by the royal governor. We toured the Gunsmith shop where they make guns. We watched ladies making baskets and weaving cloth. All in all, we learned a lot today and it was a lot of fun. (Elaine McCabe) Thursday night after dinner we went to the Raleigh Tavern for a music program. After demonstrating various colonial instruments, we learned a colonial dance. After dancing for a half hour we left for our Lanthorn Tour. The Lanthorn Tour was different from what I expected. We carried lanterns up the street and visited craft shops. The first shop we went to was the Wigmaker. There we were shown how they used to make wigs. The shop was very small and had different 1 kinds of wigs around. The second place we went was a bakery. There we got fresh baked gingerbread cookies. From what our guide said, cooking and baking was a very, very hard and hot job. The next shop was the printers; there we were told and shown how hard it was to print a paper back then.

BLACKSBURG—For the gardener who really wants to be practical, a Virginia Tech Extension specialist in home horticulture suggests planning the ornamental landscaping out of edible products. Many fruits, vegetables and herbs are very attractive and can easily be incorporated into the landscape around a home, said Diane Relf. Blueberries can be used as a tasty shrub. Gooseberries and currants will produce a good harvest in areas where planting is not restricted due to white pine blister rust. ‘‘A grape arbor provides summer shade and winter jellies,’’ she said. Strawberry bushes offer an alternative ground cover. They grow rapidly and are less expensive and provide REAL ESTATE FOR SALE COMMERCIAL j NETHERS MILL—6 acres with rich garden and fruit trees, fenced pasture with stream for cattle, the home has been well cared for and offers 3 bedrooms, a large country kitchen with flu for wood stove, living room and dining room, 1 bath, cozy enclosed porch for family room, several outbuildings. $57,500.

The course foliage of rhubarb adds an interesting texture to a perennial border. Parsley, thyme and lettuce make excellent edging plants in a flower bed. The fruit on ornamental peppers and eggplants are both showy and edible. Many fruit trees, particularly dwarf varieties, lend themselves well to the landscape. “Many traditional ornamental trees, shrubs and flowers produce edible parts,” said the faculty member in Tech’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. "Crab apples, quince and rose hips provide nutrition with good taste. Nasturtium most interesting thing our guide showed us was how to marbelize paper. We had a good time tonight. (Natalie Butler) Today, Friday, January 23, is our last day. But before we left, we went to the Visitors Center at Old Jamestown where we saw a movie about life in old Jamestown. Then we walked along the James River where the original fort once stood. We saw the old church and a statue of John Smith. The old fort is now covered by water. We stopped at the Glass House where we were able to see glass objects being blown. It was warm near the hot furnaces. We came back and boarded the buses and were off for Jamestown Festival Park. First we came to the Long House where the Indians met and some lived. DMV Titles Fewer Vehicles RICHMOND—During 1980, the Division of Motor Vehicles titled 4.6 percent fewer vehicles than in 1979, according to Donald E. Williams, DMV commissioner. New vehicle titles issued declined by 17.4 percent, while used vehicle titles transferred declined by less than one-half of 1 percent. “Apparently many people chose to buy used rather than new cars last year for economic reasons,” Williams said. Although total titling figures for the month of December were up 19 percent, compared to December 1979, Williams said it was too early to predict a tur Small Fruit Plantings A small fruit garden, properly tended, not only personally satisfies the gardener but increases the property value and provides fruit for the family members. Small fruits, such as blueberries, blackberries and grapes, need a minimum of space, said Virginia Tech Extension specialist in home horticulture, Diane Relf. They don’t need a special place and can, in fact, be used as ornamental plants around a residence. They need a site that is free from frost pockets, low wet spots and exposure to strong prevailing winds. They thrive best in a fertile, sandy loam soil, high in organic flowers and leaves add a peppery bit to salads. Planning is very important in having an edible landscape. she said. There are several considerations which should be remembered, including such factors as children walking past the edible fruits, berries and vegetables. Make a plan and use it to select and place plants that will grow best in each location. Plan for complications. Chemical pesticides applied to nearby ornamental plantings during the harvest season may contaminate the edible fruits and vegetables. Birds love the fruit and protective netting may be a necessary but unattractive addition to the landscape for a part of each year. * Plan for convenience too.

We went aboard the Godspeed. They were very small boats. Next we went inside the replica of the fort where we saw the church and the homes the settlers occupied. We left the fort and went to the Pottery, where we saw how to shape and form clay objects. Next we ventured into two exhibits; one with wax figures of Queen Elizabeth and other settlers. The next exhibit featured sculptures of the U. S. Presidents. The time had come when our trip came to an end. We boarded the buses and left for the ride home. We all enjoyed the trip very much. (Debbie Pullen) naround in the downward trend. In December, new vehicle titles issued increased by 2 percent compared to December 1979, and used vehicle titles transferred increased by 23 percent. Williams noted that used vehicles titled for the first time in Virginia, either by newcomers to Virginia, or by Virginia residents and dealers who purchased vehicles out-of-state, increased slightly during 1980 by two-tenths of a percent, but increased by 27 percent in December compared to December 1979. Titling fees are deposited in the state's Highway Maintenance and Construction Fund. matter, but they will give good returns on the average garden soil with adequate fertilization and good care. The specialist cautioned home gardeners not to crowd the plants. Small fruit plants should be set no closer than the minimum recommended with each plant. For example, blueberries need to have six feet between rows and four feet between plants; trailing blackberries need eight feet between rows and six feet between plants. Obtain the best nursery stock available, she said, of plants adapted to Virginia soil and climatic conditions. plants that will insure the producer’s maximum use. Frequently used herbs, as well as popular vegetables, can be planted by door steps for easy harvesting. Reward Shenandoah National Park is offering a $200 reward to anyone providing information leading to the recovery of two stolen portable radios. The two General Electric, black walkie-talkie radios and their rechargers were stolen during the early morning hours of July 2 from the Big Meadows Campground Ranger Station. Several leads have been obtained and are still being investigated. Anyone with information concerning these radios should call (703) 999-2243. -Tax Relief (Continued from Page 1) sequences of this initial $244 million dollar loss to the State? "It must be understood that parallel to such a reduction in the dollars the state collects in the form of taxes, there must be a compensating reduction in the services to which those dollars go," he said. “Inflation has pushed the cost of running our government and providing services to our citizens way up. While we are doing our best to see that the current surplus absorbs this, should such a tax reduction become a reality, community services such as health cafe, education and law enforcement will face serious consequences.” LEGAL NOTICES NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC The Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries has ordered to be published, pursuant to Sections 29-125, 29126 and 29-127 of the Code of Virginia, the following proposed changes in Commission regulations applicable statewide.
