Currently, strays are kept five days in pens provided by the warden, then shot and disposed of in the Covington River. Warden Jack Bruce said he’d investigated dog pounds in Culpeper, Warrenton and Front Royal. Culpeper will County Man Faces Tax Charges Ronald M. Boshette, 41, of Amissville was charged in federal district court in Alexandria on Monday with two counts of failing to file personal federal income tax returns. Boshette pleaded not guilty to the charges brought before the court at the time of arraignment in a criminal information proceeding. Judge Albert V. Bryan released Boshette on a $5,000 personal bond and set trial for March 25. According to the U. S. Attorney’s Office, Boshette is alleged to have failed to file personal returns in 1976 and 1977, years daring which he was involved in two small fast food restaurants, one in Alexandria and a second in Fairfax County. Information in the charges set his personal income for 1976 at approximately $63,000 and for 1977 at approximately $66,000. Failure to file personal tax returns carries a maximum penalty of one year in jail and a $10,000 fine for each charge. take Rappahannock’s dogs, he said, but must call a veterinarian to put down the animals. The vet charges $45 per trip whether he has one, five or 20 dogs to kill, Bruce said. In addition, there is a charge of $9 for transportation to the landfill for disposal, he said. An employee of the animal shelter puts dogs down with vaccinations at the Warrenton animal shelter, the dog warden continued. He added that the head of the shelter is out of town and so no figures, are available on what it would cost Rappahannock to share services there. In Front Royal, the pound employee likewise administers the fatal vaccinations and estimated fees for Rappahannock at between $1.50 and $2 per dog, according to Bruce. The bodies could be either incinerated or stored in a deep freeze for pick-up by a rendering company from Page County for $1.50-$2 per animal, he said. Chairman E. P. Luke noted that expenses will also include a S10 transportation fee each time Bruce must drive to Front Royal to deliver strays. He suggested that the warden keep animals until he has a truck load even if it means impounding dogs longer than the five day minimum set by local ordinances. Bruce countered that the delay may create problems with cleaning the dog pens and will create added expense through higher feed bills. Luke volunteered to visit the Front Royal pound with the warden and discuss further arrangements for holding dog delivery trips to the town to a couple per month.

Story and Pictures Page 5 and 6 In Revised Ordinance Slope Can Continue To Determine Zoning By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer “Not organized very well”; “terminology’s not consistent”; “vague”; “no way to enforce"; “exclusionary" were a few of the conclusions drawn by professional planner Dick McNear after a review of Rappahannock's zoning and subdivision ordinances. ~ That was the bad news the county planning commissioners heard February 3 as they finally got down to the nuts and bolts of a long awaited ordinance revision at a special meeting. But the news wasn't all bad. According to McNear, the central concept in Rappahannock's land use law. the use of slope as the determining factor for zoning, is basically sound. In addition, he told the commissioners that the county’s requirement for rezoning as a prerequisite for residential development is “legally supportable.” The planner noted, however, that refinement of even the legally supportable sections of the ordinances is necessary. "The »onjng process is ybor best roof ' against premature development but not the way it's written now." he said. McbJear also singled out a unique feature of the county’s zoning law—the right of an owner of record as of 1%2 to subdivide up to live lots for transfer to his children?” he asked. “Then they can’t subdivide,’’ commissioner Newbill Miller answered. “That’s a bummer,” the planner replied, shaking his head. He advised the commissioners that first of all, the right to subdivide must be given on lots of record, not to owners of record, and secondly, transfer of ownership of a specified number of parcels can't be restricted to the owner's children. * . I£ 'rtnc aovaty allow subdivision of lots of record as of 1962, it must allow it for transfer or sale to anyone. "~s The planning commissioners tentatively agreed to eliminate the questionable transfer to children provision from the revised ordinance.

At issue is $1,610,718—excluding .real estate—left by Virginia Wood and $153,116 left by Robert Eugene Wood. In addition, Mrs. Wood owned 10.49 acres at Fletcher’s Mill with a large main house, guest cottage, garage and five smaller outbuildings. The couple died on August 28, 1979, when flood waters swept them from a bridge 3 few hundred yards from their home. In a hand written will dated December 1, 1948, Mrs. Wood divided the bulk of her estate between the _ 1-Tir:l Irt . I Virginia Division of the American Cancer Society and "the State of Virginia organization or foundation engaged in research concerning ailments of the heart and heart trouble." The Medical College of Virginia, the University of Virginia and the Virginia affiliate of the American Heart Association are all fighting for a share of the money that Mrs. Wood intended to go to heart research. I 1 .1 In addition, heirs have challenged the heart bequest on the grounds that it is ambiguous and indefinite. Winchester attorney J. Sloan Kuykendahl argued Monday that since the identity of the intended recipients can’t be ascertained, that half of the estate should go to Virginia Wood's only heirs, first cousin James William Fletcher of Sperryville, four second cousins and two third cousins.

In his will dated February 20, 1948, Robert Eugene Wood divided the bulk of his estate between the "cancer and heart funds of Virginia.” His heirs-at-law, three nephews and a niece, have likewise challenged the bequest on the grounds that it is indefinite and vague and that the failure of the will to specify whether the estate is to be divided equally makes it impossible to administer. In setting up the procedures to be followed in Monday's hearing, Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson announced he would allow wide latitude on evidence. He noted that attorneys for all the parties involved could state objections which would be noted in the record and rules on at a later date prior to the court’s decision on the case. Cancer Fund Common Name Mary Botts Quaintance of Sperryville testified that she knew both Virginia and Gene Wood in 1947 and 1948 when their wills were drawn. As a native of the county and a volunteer worker over the years with the local unit of the American Cancer Society, she told the court that organization is commonly referred to in relation to money raising activities and donations as the ‘‘cancer fund” by Rappahannock residents.

She maintained that the board has followed an orderly, logical process to date, establishing school population projections and setting curriculum before tackling capital outlay specifics. (Earlier in Tuesday’s meeting, the board voted to require three years of mathematics for graduation beginning with the class of 1984, the present eighth graders. Currently, only two math units are required for a diploma. Dual English with general and academic classes at each grade level will be offered, beginning next year. The board also approved a requirement for each student to take a minimum of five courses per year beginning in 1981-tl: In addition, the cBifCnr' sociology program will be reorganized into one semester of economics and one semester of sociology by next year and each of four consecutive years of home economics will be made a prerequisite for the following year. The curriculum changes were approved by a four to one margin, contingent upon available space, with Newbill Miller casting the opposing vote. The rest of the curriculum expansion approved earlier in the year—clerk typist block program, extra section of typing 1 and remedial math lab - will be addressed at next Tuesday’s special school board meeting.> Newbill Miller noted that he had originally favored getting outside expert advice on space use and capital outlay but “got the idea we’d have to do it ourselves” after difficulties in finding the sought after expert. Delay For Expert “I'm not being stubborn but at least I’m being consistent,” said Robert Eastham, maintaining that the board members must find somebody "without any axes to grind” to advise them on capital outlay. “It’s a matter of professional expertise that's not within the capabilities of anyone in this county,” he said, adding that scheduling, programming and building are inexorably intertwined. He accused the board of “putting the cart before the horse’’ in approving curriculum changes that make it absolutely necessary to add more space at the high school and charged that the board had adopted its projections on a stable school enrollment “against all reason... Enrollment is going down," he insisted, punctuating his remarks by banging his fist on the table. M.iller countered that curriculum wasn’t expanded to justify a building program but rather to meet the educational needs of Rappahannock's youngsters. “I think this board with its superintendent must decide basically what it wants and then find somebody to put the square footage in proper perspective...I’m ready to proceed,” he said. Nancy Reeve and Nelson Lane concurred with Miller, Mrs. Reeve noting that the board must only determine that it needs “spaces for X, Y and Z and then turn it over to an architect.” “We have proceeded in an orderly manner and there's been no foot dragging.” Miller continued. He added, however, that he wanted superintendent William Bloomer to prepare square footage recommendations for the five classrooms he earlier advised the board to build—a math lab, science lab. biology lab, business room and music room. Bloomer was asked to present rough square footage estimates on the five academic classrooms plus his recommendations on space requirements for support services—library. cafeteria, rest rooms, storage, etc.—at next Tuesday's special school board meeting. Miller indicated that after the board has this information, he for one would (Continued on Page 9) Reassessment Appointments The Reassessment Office located in the Commissioner of the Revenue building at Washington will be open from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Saturday.

Virginia Lindstrom Retires From Library Board It growed like lopsy. That was Virginia Miller Lindstrom's description of how the Rappahannock County Public Library came into being at the dedication of the lovely old brick building 18 years ago. Mrs. Miller was one of a small group of women who planted the seed of an idea for a library more than two decades ago and she’s been involved ever since in tending the “garden” of books as treasurer for the library's board of trustees. Last Tuesday, a special celebration at the library paid tribute to her years of dedicated service as she announced her retirement from the board. As a member of the trustee board, Virginia Lindstrom helped usher the red brick building through its transformation into one of Rappahannock's showcases. Few communities with a population as small and scattered as Rappahannock's can boast ot a public library at all. much less one housed in so impressive a structure. "It was an idea that was impossible but it just took off and succeeded," explained current librarian Penny Keesey. Dorothy Davis, then mayor of Washington, Quita Parrish, Veronica Keating, Elizabeth Johnson and Virginia Lindstrom were the "founding mothers." With an original donation of $360.93 from the committee that managed the celebration of the Jamestown Settlement’s 350th anniversary and a determination to open the door to the world of books, they began. Auctioned Off The owner’s deteriorating health sent the old Presbyterian Church on Gay Street to the auction block in 1960. F. C. Baggarly had purchased the building in 1927 for use as Washington's town hall but his plans to turn it into a municipal facility never saw success. Of Doric architecture, the church was originally constructed on town lot number 22 entirely under the direction of James Leake Powers (1799-188^), a contemporary of Thomas Jefferson's who also worked on the University of Virginia under the supervision of the third U.S. presideni. In addition, Leake was respondible for the woodwork on the county court house and built Trinity Kpiscopal Church as well as a number of Washington's more prominent homes. By 1927, membership in the Presbyterian Church had dropped to just two—Miss Lucy Stuart and Mrs. Pauline Slaughter—with Reverands Robert S. Bell and William Jacob Warden contributing their services for Sunday sermons. Church hierarchy petitioned the court to allow sale of the property ar.d it (Continued on Page 8)

This year is YFU’s 30th year of providing exchanges with 24 countries. “We want as many students to be aware of these scholarships as soon as possible,” said Bernard Dworkin, Executive Vice President of one of the largest teenage exchange programs. “We have families, particularly in Europe and Scandinavia, who are anxious to host American students for a year program. Now we have scholarships based on merit and financial need to help young people take advantage of this educational experience.” YFU has special scholarships available for year programs in Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. Scholarships are also available for summer programs in Japan, Finland and Germany. Program registration deadlines are March 1, 1981 for the summer program and March 15, 1981 for the year program. Susan Greene, Director of U. S. Programs, further amplified the impact of exchange: “We hear quite often that the approximately Seniors Get Valentines The generation gap narrowed just a bit on Monday when youngsters from Sursum Corda School and Day Care Center handdelivered valentines to senior citizens at the Hampton Inn. Fifteen preschoolers ages 2-4 presented the valentines they had made to the luncheon meeting that is sponsored by the Area Agency on Aging. The older people were clearly delighted by the event, especially when the children performed a few songs they had learned in school. 700 students on YFU year programs are surpassing their peers academically. More students are telling us( about the significance of an exchange experience on college admissions and the educational advancement with their course work, not to mention their careers. The returns are fairly immediate for c 'liege bound youth.” Students aged 14 to 18 with good academic backgrounds are sought as the awardees of these grants.

According to State Forester W. F. Custard, $53,600 in grants made available last year permitted the purchase of necessary equipment for 186 rural fire departments. Since the Act went into effect in 1975, a total of $338,077 in matching grant money has been disbursed in 941 matching grants to 241 fire departments. This year the same amount of grant money ($53,600) is available for allocation to qualifying rural departments. The Virginia Division of Forestry is charged with the administration of the Virginia grant and will absorb the administrative costs to allow the full $53,600 to be available to the rural fire departments. The grant money is to be used to assist rural fire departments which service communities with populations of less than 10,000. Emphasis will be •»««*** placed on assistance with training and the purchase of small equipment items. The funds are available on a matching basis. The Act provides the following guidelines for use in setting priorities for the funds: 1. Preference must be given to those fire departments that have applied for or have received loans from the Farmers Home Administration under Title II. 2. Preference should be given to the newer fire companies. In order to be eligible for a grant consideration, a fire department must be able to answer “yes” to the following questions: 1. Does the department service a community with a population of 10,000 or less? 2. Is the request for assistance in organizing, training or equipment? (Large equipment, such as a truck, cannot be considered.) 3. Is the department able to match half or more of the grant requested?

Natalie Thebaud Lewis: Finding Life in Stone By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock Newa Staff Wilier Working in the most difficult and demanding of mediums, Natalie Thebaud Lewis has filled her house north of Hint Hill with wild cats and house cats caught in moments of graceful rest, baboons frozen in a tender second at the end of a jungle day, porpoises swimming forever with their sweet, goofy grins. There are others: an owl petrified with a blank, wise stare; a limestone woman cradling a baby rabbit in her arms; a frog that captures in his slick green soapstone squat everything there is to say about frog-ness. Natalie Lewis is a sculptor, and to her the transition from dead stone to living form seems natural. Most of her Figures appear at rest, but its not as though they’re Expert Watch & Jewelry Repair Appraisals 825-6033 itaersen Jeweler's South Gate Shopping Center Culpeper, Va. frozen or even sleeping. Under the graceful shapes is a tension that reminds you that the cats might spring or the frog might jump off his lily pad and back into the pond. Mrs. Lewis came to Rappahannock County fourteen years ago after living in different parts of this country and others. Her formal art training began, and has continued at times over the years, in New York, at the Parsons School of Design and at the Whitney Art Students League. In New York, New England, Europe and South America, Mrs. Lewis has continued working first as an industrial designer and then as a freelance sculptor for' over forty years. She also quilts, cooks and gardens extensively. “Everything you see or do, everything you draw - even as a commercial designer, everything you experience: it’s all grist for the mill.” she said. Mrs. Lewis said that she’d been a commercial artist for several years before trying her hand as a sculptor. “I was back in New York and I went downstairs at the art school and saw the sculpture students working. Right away I knew that’s where I should be.” Sculpture is a demanding art, sometimes dirty and grueling.

Sometimes you see contours in it that tell you what to make," Mrs. Lewis said. This was the case with her Fat Lady. A chunky piece of “poor man's jade” - green soapstone - reminded her of an aging, overweight artist's model who had once been a real beauty. The finished figure is a sitting woman, with rough-cut stone for her wild hair and highly-polished stone for her impossible curves. More often, according to Mrs. Lewis, an artist will have an idea for a sculpture and find a stone that fits. She the finished sculpture will be. The next step is to make a scale model in plasticene - a kind of modeling clay. Then, the sculptor carves out the general outline of the piece and makes her first cuts. After the outline, the details are worked out. The process takes months, sometimes years. Does she ever make a bad cut that ruins the whole piece? Mrs. Lewis laughed. “That’s why we work with very small, precise cuts and markings,” she said. The process is different for a poured metal sculpture such as bronze. Then the molds are carved out and sent away to be poured. “1 like direct carving better," Mrs. Lewis said. "To do your own pouring you have to have a sand pit and a firing furnace.” Douglas To Continue Out-Patient Treatment In a special session of Circuit Court on Saturday morning. Judge Shore Robertson ordered Ernest Lee Douglas to continue receiving psychiatric treatment on an out-patient basis from both the Chesterfield Mental Health Clinic and Central State Hospital in Petersburg. Douglas, 34, of Richmond, is charged with malicious shooting in an incident that occurred near Washington on November 18, 1979. In an attempt to determine his capability to stand trial, Douglas was psychiatrically evaluated at Central State Hospital and the University of Virginia Hospital last year and under a plea agreement reached in November, 1980, was given a year’s trial probation under a $1,000 personal recognizance bond. Probation conditions required that he continue receiving psychiatric treatment on an outpatient basis until his capability to stand trial was established. Charged with failure to meet that condition at a probation revocation hearing on January 28, Douglas was held in Fauquier jail until his release on Saturday. In addition to the requirements for bond and psychiatric treatment.

In the sculpture Consolation - her favorite - she’s carved two figures of rough limestone clutching each other in subtle curves, their positions rather than their faces showing despair as mute as the stone. A few years after coming to Rappahannock, Mrs. Lewis added a new dimension to her art. She has taught sculpture at Woodberry Forest School for eleven years and she also has an adult class that meets every said. “There's something really special about seeing someone discover what they can do. And everyone has some kind of artistic talent.” Mrs. Lewis said that sculpture is a popular class with the boys at Woodberry Forest. “Sometimes young boys have a notion that artists are ‘sissies’. But in my class they work with mallets, chisels, saws, and threepound hammers." Since most of the work she does for sale is .commissioned.

There’s a great way of life; rental income possibility; outstanding tax benefits; and all the joys of ownership in that the equity builds up as the mortgage is reduced and the value of the property goes up because of growth and inflation. And now there is a new wrinkle in the selling of condominiums. It's called the "turn-key” operation and it is particularly popular in resort areas. When you purchase a brand new condominium, it comes completely furnished and ready to move into. Many potential buyers can afford the down payment but simply do not have the ready cash to bear the cost of furnishing it. In some cases, the buyer simply does not have either the time or the inclination to furnish a second home. As the expression implies, all you need to do is turn the key in the door and move right in.

FEBRUARY 12,1981 Be There It’s time for parents and friends of education in Rappahannock County to stand up and be counted. Next week’s special school board meeting is scheduled as a budget input session for the 1981-82 school year. If the long delayed capital outlay program for expansion of the county’s public schools is ever to get off the ground, it should begin with funds included in that budget. Teachers will be there to present requests they feel will provide the quality education our children deserve. As in the past, they’ll voice unqualified support for a building program that will help achieve that goal. But teachers aren’t enough. The school board needs to know that it has the support of taxpayers who will bear the cost of providing quality education. If the support isn’t there in the elementary school library at 7:30 on Tuesday, February 17, the school board can’t count on it being there to help them sell a capital outlay package to the supervisors in April. At Tuesday’s session, superintendent William Bloomer will present his recommendations on square footage for the five classrooms he feels, as a professional in the field of education, need to be added to Rappahannock County High School. The board will also address curriculum expansion that requires classroom space. With every room at RCHS used every period of every day, any new courses will practically mandate added class space. In addition, the superintendent will also give the board his ideas on the long overdue expansion of the high school library, bath rooms, offices, cafeteria, storage space and other support facilities. This will be a rare' opportunity for the public to state its views on the 198182 school budget before it is adopted by the board, a chance to speak out in favor of inclusion of capital outlay funds to fill space needs at the high school originally pointed out in a 1976 joint school board, supervisor report. We’ve wasted six years. Don’t let another slip by. Be there on Tuesday. Wood Estate Legal Battle (Continued from Page 1) in Culpeper where Mr. Wood was a member of the board of directors, testified that he had discussed with Mr. Wood provisions of his will. According tQ Deacon who is a member of the Culpeper Memorial Hospital Board, he asked the Woods to consider leaving the bulk of their estate to the hospital for a FletcherWood Memorial wing. “They made most of their money in Culpeper, l thoudtft fe be nice ir 'they left it that way,” he said. Deacon testified that he had discussed beneficiaries with the Woods approximately a year prior to their deaths. He said they told him that they’d left half their money to the heart fund and half to the cancer fund although both indicated they weren’t completely satisfied with the arrangements. Both were concerned, he said, that their bequests would be "squandered” at heart and cancer fund headquarters in New York. Under cross examination, Deacon said Mr. Wood had no close relatives and had told him that he didn’t want his relatives to have any of his estate. John Kessler. vicepresident of the American Heart Association, told the court that the Association launched a massive informational campaign through radio and newspapers on the nationwide attack against heart disease at about the same time as the Woods’ wills were written. He acknowledged, however, that the Virginia affiliate of the Heart Association wasn’t organized until 1949, a year or more after the wills are dated. According to Kessler, "heart fund” is the patented name of the Heart Association’s fund raising activities. As to the other specifications set out by Virginia Woods’ will, he told the court that the Virginia affiliate of the heart association supports research at various hospitals and other medical facilities throughout the state and funds both research fellowships and "research at three medical schools in Virginia. In addition. Kessler maintained that the Virginia affiliate also conducts its own epidemiological and needs assessment research. No Scientist* Or Labs Under cross examination, Kessler acknowledged that the heart Association has no research scientists on its staff and maintains no research laboratories. He agreed that most of the Association's resources support research under grants and fellowships aw ardcd.ot* the basis <pf the project. According to Kessler, 25 per cent of all funds collected by the 20 units, six divisions and three chapters of the Rappahannock New* photo/Daphne Hutchinson H. L.

To the editor: On behalf of the faculty t and administrative staff at Rappahannock County Elementary School and Rappahannock County High School I want to thank all the members of the P.T.A. who prepared and served us such a delicious dinner on January 29 when our Parent-Teacher conferences were held. We are very much aware of the support we receive from our P.T.A., and this was just another evidence of their willingness to help whenever there is a need. GRAHAM F. SPENCER Principal Unfounded To the editor: A county dispatching center is a need that has been long overlooked. I’m glad that this problem is finally being addressed, but some of the comments reported from the last Board of Supervisor’s meeting strike me as unfounded. Red Oak Mountain would, no doubt, be a desirable location for a communications tower. But I don’t think we should hastily push for condemnation of the area, or imply that its owner has responded with “hostility and a lack of cooperation.” I would be interested to see more information in the News concerning the “survey” that has shown Red Oak to be “the prime location for the tower.” What we need is a study, not a survey. There are' alternate sites and the appropriate one should be chosen only after careful study. Locally, Red Oak Mountain is valuable for its agricultural, aesthetic, and recreational benefits. The mountaintop has become a sort of landmark in Rappahannock. The old fire tower—an asset to the Virginia Division of Forestry from 1934 till 1980—is historically interesting, as is the land-grant tract itself and its past ownership by the Johnson family. I happen to know that Mr. Greer, the present owner, is exceptionally ' public-spirited. His contributions to the community have included consummate cooperation with county officials in maintaining operation of the fire tower, and efforts in other areas which may never be publicly acknowledged. 1 don’t mean to belittle the need for a dispatching center, nor even to rule out Red Oak as a possible site. But let's not be so quick to condemn the land, or its owner. LYTTELTON W. WOOD Woodville Walking to work this morning I looked up at a bank time and temperature sign (they have one in Richmond too) and the temperature was in the low teens. Turning the corner I ran into one of these “Joggernauts”. Would you believe he was jogging in a pair of short shorts in this cold weather? Had to get out of his way cause the hairs on his legs were sticking out like pine needles. It may be cold outside, but there sure is a lot of hot air on the inside. We have heard about eight hours of debate on the Floor between defense lawyers and plaintiff lawyers who want to stiffen laws for criminals and in every case the crimihals always come out better off. No wonder our jails are so crowded. This same travesty has happened every year I have been down here. The defense lawyers outnumber the plaintiff lawyers. We had a big debate on lowering the sales tax on food to 2 percent. It was a very confusing bill. In addition to the 2 percent reduction, there would also be a tax refund for people who make under $20,000. The total loss of revenue for the next budget would be in excess of $350 million. Besides how would a store handle the 2 percent on food and 4 percent on everything else when all food stores handle everything under the sun. In addition a bill was passed which took the tax off non-prescription drugs. The only way to handle this mixup is to remove the tax from Heart Association in Virginia goes to the national organization. But, he added, for every one dollar sent to national headquarters last year, $1.37 was returned to the state. The dean of the University of Virginia Medical School told the court that the University currently has over 40 heart related research programs funded primarily with. million from —wgwite snurrea. was going on, he said, prior to the date the Woods’ wills were written. According to the UVa dean, the activities of the Heart Association described by Kessler classify as information gathering, not research. Dr. Robert Scott, associate dean from the Medical College of Virginia, testified that MCV has also been conducting heart research since prior to 1948. He likewise described the Heart Association’s activities as supporting research through fund raising work rather than conducting research through the scientific approach of gathering data to support a hypothosis. Giles Miller, the executor of Mrs. Wood’s estate, told the court that local people generally refer to the cancer fund as the organization that conducts Cancer Society fund drives and to the heart fund as the organization conducting Heart Association fund drives. Called as the final witness, B. W. Woodahl, former vicepresident of the Virginia unit of the American Cancer Society, reported that cancer fund drives in Rappahannock date as early as the 1930s. In addition, he said he knew of no other organizations which have collected money in the county for cancer research. Attorneys for the Heart Association and the Cancer Society read into the court record answers to interrogatories in which the University of Virginia and the Medical College of Virginia both acknowledged the cancer fund as the American Cancer Society and the heart fund as the Heart Association. The attorney for Virginia (Continued on Page 10) The Little Fox everything and put it on something else. What else would make up a loss of over $350 million in the next budget year? The answer has not been found yet. The Appropriations Committee had requests of $900 million for the projected $200 million expected excess revenue between now and June 30, 1981. Right now with funds on hand or projected, education is going to get more( state employees will get an increase and Medicare is going to get a shot in the arm. These things could not be accomplished with a $350 million loss in revenue. Word coming down from the Appropriations Committee indicates that our schools funding for kindergarten will be on the following basis: Under 30 students, 85 percent funding for half-day and 100 percent funding for over 30 students for half-day. Of course, full day kindergarten will get 100 percent funding. A bill passed the House today on its way to the Senate which eliminates the tie breaker law. No one remembers who put in the bill that mandated it. If this bill goes all the way and becomes law it will be local option only. The bill allowing comingling of sports between Miller Opposed To Gun Control Gun control is one of the many issues which the General Assembly is dealing with this year. Already, several bills which would strengthen gun control laws have been introduced. I plan to vote against these bills because I do not think that my constituents favor Churchwomen Donate The Episcopal Churchwomen of Bromfield Parish announced recently that they have made a donation of $100 to each of the following fire companies in Rappahannock County: Amissville, Chester Gap, Cast let on. Sperryville and Washington. This was one of the benefits that accrued to the county as the result of the highly successful annual house tour and flower sale sponsored by the church last October. Other donations were made to the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of Rappahannock and to the Rappahannock County Welfare Department, in appreciation of the thanks for the cooperation and support of Rappahannock residents with the house tour project. CHAMPION’S GET—Newbill Miller looks over the yearling sons of Linebacker of Wye, winner of this year’s Virginia Beef Cattle Improvement Association’s Get of Sire Award. Miller retains a share of Linebacker of Wye, purchased recently by a syndicate of 22 breeders. The registered Angus bull is currently leased to the American Breeders Service in Wisconsin as an AI (artificial insemination) stud. private and public schools was killed in committee. A new grievance bill is going to have a tough time too. There was an interesting bill to raise credit card interest from 18 percent to 24 percent which we just learned was killed in Committee. We have a bill in Agriculture that is called the right-to-farm bill. It plainly states that an established farming operation can not be subjected to nuisance ordinances from localities if a subdivision is built near the farm at a later period of time. I was asked to be a copatron of the bill. To be voted on tomorrow, I hope, is a bill from last year to stop bureaucracy from making regulations that cost us money until they have been discussed by an appropriate legislative committee. This bill was vetoed last year by the Governor resulting from pressure by the bureaucrats. This bill is a must. A bill to allow the Governor to appoint students to the Board of Visitors of all colleges except VMI was killed in Committee primarily because the Governor already puts a student on the Board after he has been out for at least one to three years. Because of the volume of bills in a short session, quite a few bills are not being them. Though we cannot underestimate the severity of our increasing crime rate, we must not enact gun control laws which interfere with the constitutional rights of citizens to bear arms. The answer to our crime problem is not to deprive the people of protection, but to get tough with the criminals. The Senate will soon consider a bill which would ease the tax burden on sellers of liquor-by-the-drink. The bill passed by only one vote in the Finance committee. My constituents have clearly told me that they want the General Assembly to take the sales tax off of food and put it on liquor. I cannot support bills which conflict with the sentiments of the citizens of my district. I will oppose the bill in the Senate and plan to support the removal of the sales tax on food and non-prescription drugs. This week 1 voted in favor of a Constitutional amendment which would limit the types of legislation which could be considered in short sessions of the General Assembly. The message I hear repeatedly from my constituents is that they want less government in their lives. I feel that placing limits on leard by a full committee because many are meeting simultaneously and many members are on several :ommittees. With a short:ned deadline it has been a ■at race.

There ought to ?e a limit on the number of ?ills a fellow is allowed to put n. the legislature will help to cut down on both the size and the cost of government in Virginia. I am also pleased to see a bill introduced which creates the Telephone Privacy Act. This bill stipulates that telephone solicitation calls cannot be made before 9 a.m. or after 9 p.m. There are several additional rules including one that would require the telephone solicitor to retain the names of persons who indicate that they do not wish to be contacted again. Also prohibitions woulfl be placed on calls which attempt to harass or intimidate citizens. Telephone solicitation has become a popular selling technique and I believe it has become necessary to place certain restrictions on these calls. I plan to support the bill. As always, I encourage my constituents to keep in contact with my office on matters of concern to them.

I know her. Worst of all, my children know her. At least they tell me about her all the time. She is the “other mother.” I heard about her the first time when Paul was in kindergarten. He was only allowed to watch “Sesame Street” and “The Electric Company” on television. The other mother’s children watched all day. By the time the other mother was doubled and squared and taken to the third power I capitulated. Paul was allowed to watch cartoons. Was he happy? Not at all. The other mother’s children were watching Dr. Shock and Frankenstein. The other mother is cool. She never yells about silly things like the wet springer spaniel lolling on the bed. The other mother’s children do not have to pick up their rooms, make their beds, or dean the bathroom. On top of everything else, the other mother has a maid. Spaghetti at the other mother’s house is special. At mine it is “do we have to have this again?” Life at die other mother’s house is a continuous whirl of activity for kids, I am told. She (dans' picnics and ball games and hosts a season of slumber parties. So how can I possibly complain about Bullet Katz and his BB gun spending the night? The other mother is said to be immaculate, so it really doesn’t figure that her children are slobs. They are allowed to wear the same blue jeans for a month and sleep in their shirts, and although they were bom with ears, nobody could tell it today, since haircuts are not required. And they can chew gum whenever they choose. Bedtime doesn’t exist at the “other mother’s” house. Her children stay up until they are tired, because they know what is best for them. My children do not think they get tired. They unicycle down the hall at 10 p.m. and pin each other with half nelsons at 11. Only I get tired. The other mother is groovy. I am square. The other mother is also elusive. I thought the other mother was Billy’s mother. When I met Billy’s mother, I realized that the other mother must be Johnny’s mother, but after meeting her I knew it must be Frank’s mother. Then I got the biggest surprise of all - they thought the other mother was me.

All persons affected by or interested in the aforesaid amendment may appear at this hearing to present their views. BY: Planning Commission of Rappahannock County H.S. Barksdale, Chairman Panther Tales By ROBIN COWER and RUSTY SETTLE In the spotlightSandy Wines of Chester Gap, a 17 year old senior at RCHS has attended the SANDY WINES school for the past five years. We know she is an outstanding basketball player, but our curiosity about other possible achievements prompted us to find out more about her life and other interests. Sandy has played basketball from the 9th to 12th grades, two years as a JV and two on the Varsity team. In 8th grade she also ran JV track. She’s been a member of the F.H.A. and Varsity Club for the past two years. She says she enjoys getting together with friends for softball or basketball and likes to take walks by herself to have some time to think. Sandy is an A and B student and believes that record keeping is her best subject, and she does fairly well in all of them. After graduation she plans to wait a year before deciding what direction to head in the future. She wants to be sure that she will devote herself to the career which she chooses. She is interested in going to a modeling school but has not decided on one yet and .so is considering taking a course in accounting at a college. She hopes to follow up her basketball if time permits. When asked who has had the most influence on her life and basketball career, Sandy replied, “When I first started out in basketball I was doing it for fun. As I became more involved, it became a big part of my life. My friends and my family supported me during the seasons, but one person helped me more than others. At times, it seemed he had more confidence in me than I did, and he gave me strength to push myself to play the best I could. He understood me and the goals I had set and they were all accomplished. I would like to thank Greg Bright for all he has done for me and he will never be forgotten.” Sandy would like to see a girls softball team added to the athletic program at RCHS; that the school cafeteria should be enlarged for it’s not nearly big enough and that a larger selection of academic programs would be beneficial. She also feels that the public should have the right to vote on members of the school board. Sandy says her years at RCHS have been happy and memorable, though the first year of high school was scary and her junior year probably the most difficult because of all the decisions that had to be made. “I would like to thank all the teachers and my friends who have given me support and encouragement to make it through these 12 long years." Sandy concluded. Thursday, February 5, all the RCHS ninth graders went to Piedmont Technical Education Center near Culpeper where they visited classes and heard a few remarks from the instructors. The students were impressed with the equipment at Piedmont and the lucrative job opportunities available for graduates from the school. The tour was timely for students are now registering for classes next year and FHONT ROYAL STORE $ S Marvin Santmyara <10 Ruby Ruaar $18 Ellaabatli Riggs THIS WEEK'S WINNERS: NEW MARKET STORE $ S Loranxa Slhrlous $10 Oonnla Rood S28 Monro* Uovd ’ Hyde Park ; tomato soup.10OZ.4/99C Dromedary Pitted DAT18.8oz. 1/2 Price Campbell's Vegetable Beef «OUP.10 oz. 39c Generic Non-Dairy COFFEE CREAMS.22 oz. $129 Generic MAYONNAISE S.. . . .32 oz. $1»‘ Coffee^mafrNorV-Dairy CREAMER .'.22 oz. $1«» Van Camp PORK A BEANS .....l6oz. 3/99C 211/2 oz. 69c Kellogg's RAISIN BR MAN.2SOZ. 1179 Pillsbury Self-Rising FLOUR.....5 ib. $109 Quaker Instant OATMEAL.. to oz. 99C Trix ► CEREAL..12 oz. $129 Kaboom cmeal. 10OZ.99C ' Instant Cream Of Wheat ' CEREAL.28 oz. $109 * Bush Chopped ; kale.211/2 oz. 2/89c i6 oz. 3/99c > Stokley’s Sliced - PICKLEBEETS .16oz. 2/99C ► Showboat Cut > SWEET POTATOES.16oz. 2/89C ' Luck’s ; QIANTLMAS..16oz. 2/89C ; «JCl6 BEETS.16 oz. 3/99C t $5Sfb#,,,#Cre*,n0,.Ch,ckTooz. 3/99C Campbell's Chicken y Campbell s Chicken _ I BROTH W/RICE .101/2oz. 4/99C ► Ragu _ ► SPAGHETTI SAUCE .151/2oz. 79C 161/2oz. 99c (Mushroom.

Snead Brings Malaysia Libby Snead of Washington will present a program on her experiences as a Peace Corps worker in Malaysia on Wednesday, February 18, at the Rappahannock Library. Her audience will be treated not dnly to the slides Libby uses to illustrate her talk but also to artifacts she brought back from Malaysia—batiks and tailormade clothing of fine cotton and silk that are important to that nation’s economy. Snead is now a substitute teacher in first and second grade for Rappahannock and Warren county schools. The work isn’t as exciting as her adventures in the exotic East but she enjoys it and plans to resume ner education toward that end. She feels, however, that her experience in the Peace Corps was invaluable since it, broadened her prospectives and provided new insights into other cultures. Although Malaysia is regarded as a part of the Moslem world since that is its dominant religion, because of its mixed ethnic origins it has many citizens who are Hindu, Taoist, Buddhists and Christian. ++++ For the man who makes everything that leads to happiness, or near to it, to depend upon himself, and not upon other men, such a one . . . has adopted the very best plan for living happily.

Lindstrom Retires — (Continued from Page 1) was transferred to Baggarly in February. By the time he decided to auction off the building, the years had taken their toll. The roof leaked and the floor at the front had caved in. With the disrepair, the old church brought only $2,600, going to high bidders Virginia Lindstrom and Dorothy Davis. To that first $360 contribution, they had added by auction day a substantial donation from a local organization, the Public Welfare Foundation. Only The Fint Step Buying the structure to house the library was just the first step. The building needed a new floor, electrical wiring, plumbing, a heating plant, front steps and a new coat of paint.

On the date of the building’s dedication as the Rappahannock County Public Library, the renovation fund had grown to $9,760.93. Total cost for the building and its restoration amounted to between $12,000 and $13,000, according to librarian Penny Keesey. “People gave their services free or at minimum cost,” she noted. At the 1963 dedication ceremonies, William Carrigan, first chairman of the Board of Trustees, spoke of the library’s future. He foresaw it becoming a center for community cultural events, offering lectures, discussions and films for children, young people and adults. The trustees have carried through with those original plans. The library has hosted poetry readings for former Presidential candidate and Senator Eugene McCarthy. It has offered everything from National Geographic films to presentations on silver appraising and tornado chasing. Local people have spoken on visits to China, India and Malaysia, bringing the four comers of the world closer to rural Rappahannock. From the start when Judge Rayner V. Snead handed the keys to the big front door to the first librarians, Josephine and Anna May Stambaugh,, the library has required only minimal support from county tax dollars. Most of its operating costs are covered by the Friends of the Library with interest from wisely invested bequests. , The balance comes from state, federal, county and town contributions. But at twice the price, r Rappahannock’s public library would still be a bargain. As Virginia Attorney General Robert Button said at the dedication ceremonies: “Free public libraries are one of the bulwarks of liberty. As long as the people have free and complete access to uncensored news, periodicals and books, the torch of liberty will continue to burn.” ++++ Man is born not to solve the problems of the universe, but to find out where the problem begins, and then to restrain himself within the limits of the comprehensible. ©bitmxxzB ] Harrell Funeral services for Mrs. Betsey Johnson Harrell of Wheaton.

OWNER: Kinsey Atkins TERMS: CASH Sperryville, Virginia JOHN WALKER JENKINS AUCTIONEERING SERVICE Washington, Virginia 675-3325 (Continued from Page 1) McNear told the planning commissioners he’d be glad to help with the ordinance revision. “You set out the policy and the general framework on what you want done and I’ll see if I can do it...I think you have some major problems if you’re looking for a set of ordinances that will stand up in a court of law if push comes to shove.” Miller noted that the seven-year-old zoning ordinance, adopted a decade after the county’s subdivision laws, had been amended and revised. “It wasn’t too bad ten years ago,” he said. “I’m not knocking it," McNear explained, adding that Rappahannock’s land use controls are in better shape than neighboring Fauquier’s, the county he serves as professional planner. Miller reported that all the planning commissioners are agreed on the necessity of major ordinance revisions to carry out the intent of preserving the county’s rural character, a goal supported by Rappahannock residents in opinion poll after opinion poll. The first issue to be addressed, said McNear, is how to allow just about every conceivable land use somewhere in the county, suggesting this be done through special use permits. He agreed that the commissioners can’t foresee each and every land use which may come up and therefore, must set up procedures for consideration of uses not listed in the ordinance. He added that an industrial zone is generally selected as the proper location for most objectionable uses not covered under uses allowed by right or with a special permit. No Zoning Boundaries As a starting point in their revisions, McNear suggested that the commissioners list the zoning categories needed to control adequately land uses that now exist and then fit all the county’s current uses into a category. “You have several problems. One is that your conservation and agricultural zones are defined but they’re hot delineated,” the planner said. Miller countered that the county's soil map does differentiate between agricultural land with less than 14 percent slope and conservation land of over 14 percent slope. "How do I find the zoning boundary line on my property?” asked McNear, inquiring as to who transferred the lines on the soil map to the zoning map or to the land. Miller pointed out that the ordinance allows the planning commission, as a prerequisite to development, to require a topographical survey which will fix zoning district boundaries based on the slope of the land. ‘‘But we can't put red stakes on everyone’s farm in the county,” commissioner Dave Fan non responded. “I agree,” said McNear, adding that information on slope from the soil map should be transferred to the zoning map fixing conservation zones as areas where 75 percent of the land is over 14 percent slope and agricultural zones as areas where 75 percent of the land is under 14 percent slope. Using that criteria, said Fannon, most of the county will be conservation. “That’s the way it cuts,” McNear agreed. If a landowner wants to subdivide 1000 acres that’s predominantly under 14 percent slope and zoned agriculture but has areas in flood plain or with steep slopes, the density can be reduced proportionally to the number of acres that don’t meet the 14 percent slope requirement for five acre lots,' the planner explained. Then, instead of 20 lots on the 100 acres, the developer may get only 12 or 15, once flood plain and steeply sloped areas are eliminated. He describe the delineation of specific boundary lines for conservation and agricultural land on a zoning map as “enforcing the basic concept (of the county’s land use controls) so it’s easier to administer. “If you can’t Find any areas with a significant amount of land under 14 percent slope, you ought to zone the entire county conservation," McNear dded. Not Districts, Just Uses E. P. Luke, chairman of the board of supervisors and the board’s representative to the planning commission, maintained that the county’s industrial and commerical districts are improperly designated because they aren’t districts at all. Using H & J Grocery on Route 231 as an example, he pointed out that it is designated on the zoning map as a commercial district but the district includes only the H & J lot so there’s no way another use can be added. H & J and other local groceries should be commercial uses located in an agricultural zone rather than zoned commercial, Fannon said. That type of use could be allowed with a special use permit rather than through zoning. McNear agreed. Miller maintained that McNear’s approach would make it easier to have commercial uses scattered all over the county once they're no longer controlled through the rezoning process. The supervisors could take over the issuance of special use permits, suggested commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner, noting that their actions would then carry the same "presumption of legislative validity" attached to rezoning actions, presumption that the board of zoning appeals has to a much lessor degree in their current decisions on use permits. (See separate story.) Fannon asked if anything could be done to control the 50 or so subdivisions platted before 1%2 but not yet built on. According to McNear, the county could in its revised ordinance require that all subdivision streets including those recorded before 1962 be built to state specifications so that they can meet standards for state maintenance. He indicated the added expense of con struction state spec roads would help, deter development. But, McNear emphasized, those early subdivided lots would remain valid. Basinets and Flood Plain Luke pointed out that the village of Sperryville is zoned both residential business and flood plain. In a flood plain, no construction is allowed while in a residential business district, any use existing in any of the other villages in 17====== Rappahannock is permitted by right. “How can it be both at the same time,” he asked. “Maybe we need two types of residential business districts,” Miller said. “There are certain minimum standards that have to be enforced in flood plain,” McNear said, if the county wants to continue its membership in the participation in the National Flood Insurance Program.

Zoning Legally Sound (Continued from Page 8) Addressing the requirement for rezoning as a first step in subdivision development, Miller noted that any divisions over five lots or, any divisions of land contiguous to an existing subdivision must go through the rezoning process. "You’re treating two people with the same land in the same district differently,” McNear said. It’s not equal treatment when the first landowner on a road can divide his property into five lots with only administrative approval while his neighbor who tries to subdivide after him has to get a rezoning of his property simply because he came second, the planner said. “If that’s exclusionary, maybe we need to have all property rezoned before it can be subdivided,” Miller responded. “Or cut down on the number of subdivisions that can be approved administratively,” suggested McNear. Restrictions on small lot development in county ordinances now allow for five acre subdivisions only on roads with 50 feet right-ofways that connect to 50-footright-of-ways, Miller noted. This provisions was included to make sure that subdivisions come in only on roads able to bear the added traffic, he said. With the highway department facing reduced revenue and insufficient funds for upgrading roads, said Miller, the requirement for a 50 foot , right-of-way should be retained in the revised ordinance. Address In Zoning In order to have that requirement defensible in court, McNear replied, the road situation must be Vacuum Cleaner Repair/Sales All work guaranteed—Expert Repair Bags/Belts/Accessories for alt vacuums New/Rebuilt Vacuums Compact Distributor, Fra# Home Demonstrations by appointment -15% discount with this adMstor SwMptr 507 E.

STOKES General Store 533 E. Main St. “At The Bridge” Front Royal 635*4437 addressed in the rezoning process. In considering a subdivision rezoning, the supervisors can look at the adequacy of roads, using specific guidelines for evaluation or keeping the guidelines of a more general nature so as to allow flexibility, an option available, McNear said, with the presumption of legislative validity that the supervisors possess. Another area where legislative validity can come into play is with special exception permits as differentiated from special use permits, the planner continued. He explained that in Fauquier County, the supervisors issue special exception permits for uses with a county-wide impact and special use permits for uses with only neighborhood impact. Special exception applications, he said, have to meet much stricter conditions. Miller interjected that he would like to see variances as well issued by the county’s legislative body rather than by the board of zoning appeals. State law mandates that variances be issued by the board of zoning appeals McNear said, but variances can only be granted in accordance with very specific criteria. “I won’t say whether that's been abused or liberally interpreted in this county but what happens here could never happen in Fauquier...The BZA can’t amend the ordinance by variance as done in this county." he said. Need Village Boundaries Luke asked if village boundaries are critical. McNear replied that villages need zoning boundaries to determine what property qualifies for uses allowed in a residential business zone, the zoning category for Flint Hill, Sperryville, Woodville, Amissville and Chester Gap. Miller noted that there appears to be general agreement on the boundaries set out in the comprehensive plan's village study. In setting village boundary lines on a zoning map, “you don’t have to make any spectacular provisions for growth. There are no projections that say the county’s population is going to grow,” McNear noted. “All you want to do is to Find me existing limits," he said, jby defining the minimum amount of land that shares a common character. He Wlded. however, that setting boundaries for Sperryville with the development along Route 211 will present problems. McNear also told the commissioners that they need to include both minimum lot size and setback distances for the residential business districts. From the audience, Werner Krebser recalled that Huntly landowner Jay Dawsoq was able to convert a number of chicken coops on his farm to rental houses with authorization except no septic field approval from the. health department.

Miller replied this could be accomplished with restrictions on the number of dwellings allowed by right on a lot or parcel. Another area that needs discussion, McNear continued, is the ordinance's requirement for public water and sewer for lots smaller than five acres. He questioned how public water and sewer could be justified if there was a drain field site adequate for the life of the dwelling and if the water source met health department regulations. And if public water and sewer is required, why won’t the county permit lot sizes smaller than one acre, the planner questioned. Priorties In addition to a list of uses and zoning districts, McNear asked the planning commissioners to establish priorities on land preservation. “If you have to put 100 houses somewhere, where would you put them?” “Around the residential business districts,” answered Fannon. “But those are some of the most fragile areas in the county,” Miller countered, noting Washington’s water' problems and Sperryville’s flood plain. He maintained that large lot development was the county’s best hope for preserving its rural character. “Twenty-five acre lots are probably your least tax deficient,” McNear noted. Twenty-five acre development is not tax deficient at all, countered Miller. On the contrary, he said, large lot subdivisions are ‘‘just subsidizing the devil” out of the rest of the county. Because farming is the base of Fauquier’s economy, McNear said, the priority in that county is farmland protection. But the way Rappahannock's ordinances are worded, the professional planner maintained, they “provide an incentive for developing farm land.” Miller and Fannon disagreed. Miller claimed that requirements for roads whtch meet state specifications, curbs and gutters provided economic deterents to subdividing farmland under 14 percent slope into five acre lots. Fannon added that the incentive in Rappahannock’s land use controls lies in development of 50 acre lots in conservation zones which do not have to meet any of the subdivision requirements for rezoning or state roads. In answer to a final question. McNear said there's probably no difficulty in retaining the ordinance's prohibition against resubdivision of property that's already been subdivided. He agreed. however, that procedures for administration of the ordinance have to be set out clearly. “If you aren't going to enforce the laws, there’s no sense having them,” he stated. To a last comment from the audience, McNear agreed that the county’s sign regulations, both off and onsite, need tightening. The planning commissioners set their next session on the continuing ordinance review for February 18 following their already scheduled rezoning hearing. Capital Outlay (Continued from Page 1) like to go back to the high school foi1 another visit to put everything into perspective. He also said he may want to go back again to RCHS after the architect comes up with more finalized plans. “I’m willing to meet on a regular basis until it (reaching a decision on capital outlay) gets done,” he added.

(Continued from Page 1) pound facilities “will make people in the county happier” and keep state agencies and animal lovers “off our back,” said Luke. (Last fall, the Virginia Board of Agriculture and Consumer Services adopted “guidelines pertaining to a pound or enclosure to be maintained by each county or city.” The regulations set standards for enclosures, waste disposal, sanitation, watering mechanisms, hours of operation and handling of sick animals. According to the department of Agriculture, blueprints are available for a $17,000 impoundment facility that will meet all state specifications.) As for the inconvenience and expense of transporting strays, “the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals can raise more hell, cause us more consternation than taking the dogs to Front Royal.” the supervisor chairman concluded. Tannery Hearing The supervisors set Monday, March 2, for public hearings on a Slate Mills rezoning application and request for an ordinance amendment from Witold Kuncewkz to allow tanning of fish and reptile hides as a use allowed by right in a commercial zone. “The thing that bothers me is the pollution and the discharge permit.” said Luke in reply to Mrs. Kuncewicz's inquiry on whether the supervisors had any questions on the tannery. The chairman said he is also concerned with decisions from the district health department and State Water Control Board relating to the tannery. He questioned whether 15 pounds of chromium, a byproduct of the tanning process, could be disposed of in Community Trash’s dumpsters which are leased by the county or in the company's privately operated landfill. (Although state law requires local governments to provide for solid waste disposal. Rappahannock County does not have a public landfill. The county contracts with Community Trash to dispose of solid waste collected from dumpsters at various locations. The trash' is taken to a landfill on leased property in Woodville which is operated by Community Trash under a special use permit issued by the board of zoning appeals which expired in June, 1979.) Luke said the Kuncewiczs could arrange with Community Trash for a private dumpster to hold solid waste from the tannery. For solid waste con Wood Estate , i (Continued from Page 4) Wood’s heirs also 'entered into the record an answer to an interrogatory which stated that Mrs. Wood had knowledge of the University of Virginia's involvement in heart research prior to the date her will was written. Noting the significant legal Pound Sharing Proposed taminants, a detailed certificate must be filled out before disposal is allowed, the chairman reported. Bill Worrell, the biochemist who will be working with Kuncewicz on the tannery, reported that the 15 pounds of chromium produced weekly as a byproduct will not leach through the soil if disposed of in the landfill. Trivalent chromium, the compound used in tanning, is not harmful. according to Worrell. “EPA took it off their 'hit list’,” he said. Worrell noted that federal and state agencies have powers to regulate the tanning operation to ensure there is no pollution. “Both the Environmental Protection Agency and the State Water Control Board will investigate what we’re doing,” he said. “You have to do your homework to make sure the Thornton River,is protected." Luke emphasized, noting that water will be returned to the river after its use in tanning. Worrell assured the supervisors that an engineer from the SWCB will have to approve that phase of the tanning operation. Luke indicated that the board will have questions at the March public hearing both for the SWCB engineer and for a representative from the Health department. Court House Repairs In other action, the supervisors: —authorized Luke to secure specifications on repairs and painting needed at the court house. —approved a bingo permit for the Sperryville Fire Department, —agreed to act on the appointment of a county representative to the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission at next month's meeting. —approved payment of the registration fee for commonwealth's attorney Douglas Baumgardner to attend a conference on the legal aspects of land use planning and controls. At the close of the open meeting, the supervisors retired to executive session for personnel .matters, according to the chairman. Returning to open meeting over an hour later, Luke announced that the board had discussed “trying to do something about the fire escape and the landfill" but that no action was taken. Asked how the issues of a landfill and a fire escape for the court house fell under the category of personnel matters. Luke replied that both related to the chair questions raised by continuous objections to evidence from attorneys for all parties. Judge Robertson set March 26 as the deadline for filing written briefs addressing the issues. He allowed an additional 30 days after that time for replying to briefs. If oral arguments are deemed necessary, Judge Robertson scheduled July 10 as the date for the next hearing. In a final matter, the Judge authorized the sale of Virginia Wood’s property holdings, contingent upon the agreement of all parties involved.
