Total value on land and buildings is set at $245,418,360, a staggering 2115 percent increase over the current discounted assessment of $11,582,821. While total values increased by 21 times, a breakdown shows that the increase in value of land outstripped the hike in value of buildings. Under the old discounted values, the county's total taxable land area was assessed at $5,430,390. At 100 percent fair market assessment, taxable land is appraised at $146,839,160, an increase of 2718 percent. Assessed values of buildings in the county increased by just 16 times compared to the 27 times increase in land values. Under the old appraisal the total value of buildings was set at $6,152,431. With the new 100 percent fair market assessment, buildings are valued at $98,579,200—an increase of 1614 percent. The new assessment figures will undoubtably mean a sharp reduction in the tax rate. With 100 percent fair market values, a tax rate of approximately 21 cents per $100 will generate the same amount of revenue as this year’s $4.40 rate per $100 applied to the old appraisals on buildings and land. Normal Reaction According to Jerry Hall, the appraiser from the state department of taxation who did the county's reassessment, the phone in the commissioner of revenue’s office practically rang off the wall last week with requets from property owners who wanted appointments to discuss the values set on their buildings and land. “There are still people calling but we’re not as rushed now,” he said. He described the reaction here as normal, particularly to a 100 percent fair market value assessment, compared with other counties where he’s worked. “Some thought their assessments were too high. Some thought they were about right. Some complained that we had the buildings wrong," Hall said. He reported that he has made adjustments in individual reassessments both up and down, as the result of consultations with property owners. “Many just wanted an explanation of how I arrived at the figures. Others wanted to know what their taxes would be,” said Hall, noting that authority to set the tax rate rests entirely with the board of supervisors, not the appraiser. According to Hall, he used median sales figures whenever possible to establish land values, disregarding sales at the high and low end of the spectrum. He said, however, that in some areas of the county, sales were too few in number to be able to accurately determine a median value per acre for land. Hall noted that he took into account the difference in value of acreage with road frontage in determining per acre worth of large tracts. “If the ow'ner could tell me exactly how many acres he had in each category (road frontage and land at a distance from a road), I broke it down on the card that way. Otherwise, I broke it down in my head and came up with a average figure (to record on the assessment cards) that took that into account.” Same Throughout For new homes. Hall said he used construction costs to determine worth, using the same square foot value throughout the county. As an example, he figured one story brick homes at $30 per square foot and frame houses at $26 to $28 per square foot. “Exceptionally well built houses” were appraised at a slightly higher square foot rate, he said. Unfinished basements were appraised at $6 per square foot. “Most of the basements are carried as unfinished unless the owner BZA Okays New Approach To Problems Of Old Age Care By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Nrw» Staff Writer An innovative approach to the problems of care in old age won unanimous approval from the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals at last Thursday’s meeting. Two families applied to the BZA for a special use permit to build a three-family residence on a SO acre parcel off Route 615 near Boston. “We have seen the "probleirris of nursing homes and retirement homes and living with your children. We want to avoid that for as long as possible." said Robert Gowell. Sidney Gottlieb explained that the house will be constructed to meet the ends of older people. The three families involved will help care for each other, he said, "so we won’t have to go to nursing homes or live with our children...We plan to live the rest of our lives in this residence." According to the topographical map submitted with site and house plans, slope on the half of the property in pasture land averages eight per cent with the balance of the 50 acres in wooded hillsides over 14 percent grade. Gottlieb noted that he has contacted the county extension agents. Soil Conservation Service and Virginia Division of Fdrestry to determine how best to care for the pasture and forest land. The house will be built on a site 650 feet from Route 615. barely visible from the road, according to Gottlieb. The one-level structure will include 1.000 square feet of living space for each family with private bedroom, study, bathroom and kitchendining-living area and 2,400 square feet of common space with guest rooms, baths, laundry. storage and recreation rooms. Future plans also call for a swimming pool and sauna. Designers Ken Ritvo and Sam Clifton have checked the energy reliability of their construction plans with computers following the Los Alamos scientific analysis method, according to Ritvo. He said that the hybrid system maximizes passive and active solar energy concepts to the point where only two cords of wood per year will be required for supplemental wood stoves to heat the entire 3.400 square feet of space. In addition. electric baseboard heat will also be installed aa-w third hackairp system. To date, the two families applying for the special use permit — Sidney and Margaret Gottlieb and Robert and Sylvia Gowell—haven’t found a third partner to join them but are discussing the —Rappahannock News Photo*/S.

The fire possibly started from an electrical malfunction. possibility with another family. Gottlieb noted that three retired families will put a minimum strain on county facilities such as schools. In addition, he said, “the open space beauty” of the 50 acre parcel will best be preserved by holding development to a small area as indicated in the permit application. A letter from Ray Cannon, landowner with property to the south and west, wrote the BZA that he favored issuance of the permit and described the project as “interesting" and "an asset to the community." “Did he sell you the land?” asked BZA chairman Josef Gardiner. “No," Gowell replied, adding that the individuals from whom they’d purchased the property still owned tracts to the north and south. He said they'd been sent a letter, detailing plans tor the three-family residence. “We haven’t received an answer so I assume they don't oppose it." Included with maps and plans provided the BZA was a copy of the driveway entry permit issued by the State Highway Department. Gowell reported that former county engineer Fanning Baumgardner was still conducting tests to Find the best possible drainfield site so the septic location was not yet fixed. “He felt there was no question of finding an adequate site." Gowell noted. “Do you have any plans for passing this on to your heirs?" asked Gardiner, raising the possibility that the multi-family residence could be used in the future for housing for families with children. “We know we’re not going (Continued on Page 8) Beauty Pageant Planned A Beauty Pageant sponsored by the Sperryville Rescue Squad is planned for Friday.

He noted that the value added to the property sometimes worked out to lower than the. actual construction costs. Hall said he went to every house in the county during the reassessment. “1 didn't necessarily go in...not unless the owner was there." he added. “A very small percentage were even home when I was by." Property values in the town of Washington were set by a second individual called in from the department of taxation in Richmond to assist Hall. “He used sales figures entirely.” Hall said. According to Hall, there is very little difference in property values between the county's five magisterial districts. Differences came instead “in pockets.” with values in the town of Washington and the Amissville area slightly higher than the rest of the county, he noted. Those two areas in Hampton and Jackson Districts also recorded the highest number of land transactions. Hall added. Values per acre ranged from a low of $400 for land in large tracts to a high of $5,000 for commercial lots in the town of Washington. Using county, officials as examples, the following are representative assessments. —Supervisor chairman E. P. Luke (Piedmont) 18.7 acres $31,000, building $66,100. — Supervisor J. R.

School Expansion Estimate $1.3 Million By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Vh» Staff Writer At Tuesday night's school board meeting. Superintendent William Bloomer attached dpllar and cent estimates to his earlier recommendations for expansion at the county high school and arrived at a rough cost projection of SI.3 million for construction of five classrooms and support facilities. Asked to come up with square footage estimates on space, he gave 1.224 square feet for a chemistry-physics lab. 320 square feet for lab preparation room, 1,024 square feet for biology lab. 1.280 square feet for clerktypist room, 384 square feet for prep room. 1,024 square feet for typing room, 900 square feet for music room with the present typing room remodeled into a remedial math lab. For expansion of support facilities, he recommended 1,121 square feet of additional space for the library, 864 square feet for guidance offices, 2.880 square feet for cafeteria and kitchen, 336 square feet for custodial supplies and storage, 256 square feet for text books, 544 square feet for rest rooms. 720 square feet for faculty room and work area with the present teachers' lounge converted to a clinic. Bloomer noted that an additional 40 to 50 per cent of the 12,677 square foot total must be figured in for halls and mechanical needs, bringing the square footage covered in his proposal to roughly 18,700 square feet. According to the superintendent, he based the size of classrooms and support facilities on recommendations from the state department of education, using the high school’s present enrollment as the population to be served. Bloomer said he also consulted with architects who prepared earlier schematic drawings lor RCHS expansion. Initially, Bloomer set construction costs at between $50 and $55 per square foot but acknowledged that the Figure could easily go as high as $60, particularly if the start of an expansion program is delayed. After a few calculations, board member Robert Eastham estimated that the addition of 18,700 square feet would cost approximately $1..100.000. Chairman Beverly Massie noted that the cost projection didn't take into account upgrading of the septic system required with the expansion. The septic system at the high school will have to be expanded with or without the expansion, according to Bloomer. "The State Water Control Board has been breathing on our collar now (Continued on Page 2) Furnace Repair Alarms Board “Something has got to be done or we're going to bleed ourselves to death." remarked Robert Eastham at the February 10 meeting of the Rappahannock school board in reaction to a $1,300 bill for furnace repairs in January. “It goes on and on. We have furnace repairs every single month." said Eastham. suggesting that "something is wrong" with the continual breakdowns that have plagued the school heating systems, particularly at RCHS. "Could this be avoided with the maintenance position that was eliminated from last year's budget?" asked Nancy Reeve. Superintendent William Bloomer replied that filling the position of maintenance supervisor as he had recommended could possibly have avoided the need for expensive furnace repairs. The individual hired as maintenance supervisor could have received special training on how to repair the heating system from a factory representative, according to the superintendent. Eastham asked Bloomer to total the cost of furnace repair bills for the current year and bring the figures to the February 17 special school board budget session along with a recommendation on how- to reduce or eliminate this continuing expense in the future. Noting that SI5.000 worth of fuel oil has been used so far this year at the elementary school, Newbill Miller raised the possibility of proceeding immediately with energy conservation measures at both schools rather than postponing the "buttoning up" projects for inclusion with any capital outlay needs as the board had decided earlier in the evening. Miller pointed out that the $15,000 doesn’t include cost of coal for the high school. In its preceding discussion, the board took no action on a proposal from Engineered Systems to complete an analysts and evaluation of the two public schools to determine what can be done to conserve energy. Engineered Systems’ fee of approximately $1.700 would also include estimates on the (Continued on Pape 8) i

Levick Weaves High Fashion Silk By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Newa Staff Writer Susan Levick has solved the dilepnffia* thaTlSa^s most young- people who want to live ih the country. Often it’s a case of trading “luxuries” like a meal on the table, gas in the fuel tank and a few dollars in the wallet for clean air, open spaces and a backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains. For women in particular, jobs that offer more than a bare subsistance, especially when measured against urban salaries, are hard to find in Rappahannock. After struggling along on a minimum wage that doesn’t even pretend to keep up with inflation, many decide they can put up with traffic, high crime rates, pollution and the noise of city streets after all. Susan thinks she’s one of the lucky ones. She’s turned a “just for fun” weaving course that she took at a Colorado Community College into a profession. In her apartment over Natures Foods on Washington’s square, she sends a shuttle flying back and forth across the threads of a loom, creating masterpieces of fabric that will be transformed into designer fashions. Along with the fabric, she’s created a career that lets her be her own boss, working in her country apartment-studio at a craft she's been obsessed with since she took that first weaving class. When Susan began weaving five years ago, she realized that the market for woven fabric offered the key to comfortable living out in the boondocks without the hassles and expense of commuting. At the start, she stayed off and on in the county, leaving Rappahannock for positions where she could earn enough for support while she labored to master the craft. “Having the money to take off the time to learn was the biggest frustration,” she recalled. She worked two jobs, scrimped and saved. Impressed with Susan’s dedication, her parents offered their help. The combination was enough to allow her the indulgence of a three-month apprenticeship with expert weaver Jeff Lefkowitz and then another three months of intensive study on her own. The half-year devoted entirely to weaving launched a career. Her hard-won skills established a market with a Connecticut fashion designer who now buys all the piecework Susan can produce. Touch Of Luxury Soft, rich fabric with the expensive feel of ermine and sable comes off Susan's loom. She works primarily with raw silk, weaving threads into material that brings the touch of luxury to bare skin. The high fashions turned out by the Connecticut designer with Susan’s fabrics are expensive, running to $160 for a simple, one-piece sheath. “At that price, they have to be classic enough to always CUSTOM UPHOLSTERY and DRAPERIES Decorator Fabrics, Wall Papers and Carpets Experienced Decorator Service »♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦< Free Estimates—Pick Up X and Delivery X Discounts for New Homes vj Vee Tull, Madison, V/a. 948-6406 Happoijannock Neuib Rappahannock & Adjoining Counties per year $7.00 Elsewhere in the U.

She begins at the warping mill in her living room, a contraption that looks most like the collapsible wooden clothes hangers hauled out of basements for drying the basic necessities on a rainy day. After attaching the end of a skein of thread, Susan pushes the warping mill back and forth, like an uncertain youngster spinning the magazine rack to decide which comic book to buy. As it turns, she plays out more and more thread, tieing off every 12 stretched from pegs across the warping mill. “It’s a way of counting and measuring each thread,” she reported. For instance, Susan explained, if she needs 20 yards of a Finished product and there are 12 threads to the inch, she’ll have to turn the warping mill back and forth 720 times to play out enough thread, tieing off each group of 12.

Earlier during the portion of the school board meeting set aside for public input on the 1981-82 school budget, discuss-comment was limited to the operational budget only. excluding capital outlay. In response to complaints from the 20 or so people left in the audience at midnight, , repeat*419^ did not intend to deprive anyone of the right to speak on capital outlay. Asked when the public would have this opportunity, she set March 3 for aq input hearing. Public comment on capital outlay will preceed the superintendent’s presentation of his proposed budget for 1981-82. Prior to the special session, the school board will make a second visit to RCHS on Wednesday. February 25.

Business of importance is on the agenda, and all members should be present. Then the strands of raw silk are woven loosely together by hand into a big chain for the trip either down the hall to the loom in Susan’s bedroom or to the Connecticut ( designer’s dye pots. La at Step b Easiest “Then comes the hardest part—beaming on,” Susan continued. The threads are cleaned, raked and pulled from the loose chain, one person holding while a second winds each onto the back beam of the loom, all threads spread equally and all under equal tension. "It takes two hours to make tne warp, two noun to beam on and two hours to thread the heddles and reed. Then all you do is weave. That's the easy and fun part,” Susan said. After a year of full-time weaving, she can now produce two yards an hour at her loom. Recently, she's expanded her career to include weaving lessons. “1 started because I had some friends who really wanted to learn to weave. I know the frustrations I went through in trying to learn with no teacher so I decided to do it. Before, I’ve given lessons to kids and to senior citizens. This is the first time I've taught my peers," she Panther Tales By ROBIN COOPER and RUSTY SETTLE Mr. Janies Wood has been teaching biology at Rappahannock County High School for five years. He chose Rappahannock because his wife’s parents moved out here the same year that he did and it made visiting more convenient. He says he actually enjoys teaching the wild students of today and selected teaching as a profession because he thought he could do as good a job of teaching as the teachers he had heard of. I think it is safe to say that most students consider Mr. Wood to be a good teacher. .i«k»ddiii<HL tOv biology, he is mmlifted* tn, f erh.jrhwinry and pre-algebra. We also discovered that Mr. Wood has some musical talent and played the organ at a church for four years before he began teaching school. He felt that playing the church organ was not what he wanted to make his living doing. He can also play the French horn. His present interest is the computer that we have at the high school, which he says is a big help in printing tests. He would like to program the computer to do population studies and feels it would be helpful in studying evolution, the formation of mountains and how different species evolved. He would also like to use it as a simulated organ ism to see how it would react to a given environment. Mr. Wood said that a class in computer science would be nice, but these things take time and money. He presently uses his spare time working on his house, a passive solar house. Though it will not be completed for five years, it will be livable this summer. Many of the windows face southeast for solar heating.

In addition, she plans to work with a friend Nan Smith, also an accomplished seamstress. Susan will use her own designs, colors and fabrics and Nan will turn them into high fashions with needle and thread. But for this project, Levick will mix cotton threads with the silk to keep prices down in the Rappahannock range. Over half the space in Susan's big sunny living room is given to tools of her trade. In the center squats an enormous 150-year-old New Hampshire loom that she’s overhauling to increase ef nciency and improving so she can weave 45 rather than 36 inch fabric. The warping mill takes up another big chunk of floor space. Against the wall rest a spinning wheel' and a treadle sewing machine. Susan Levick loves the career she’s woven for herself. But there are other considerations besides pride of workmanship, the chance to earn a good living and the opportunity for country living that keep her at the loom. “If I ever quit weaving.” she joked, “I’ll have to spend a fortune on furniture." — Rappahannock New* Photo/Th*rc*« Reynold* TURNING THE WARPING MILL, Weaver Susan Levick counts out raw silk threads to go on the loom.

In such cases, there are several steps you can take to help us restore your electricity as quickly as possible: Step 1 • Sep lf Neighbors Have Power Check your neighbors to see if they have power. If they do, the disruption of electric service may be in your own home. Check for blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers which may require the services of an electrician. Step 2 - Call Your Power Company If your neighbors are also without service, call your electric company. (Potomac Edison local telephone numbers are listed on the reverse side of your electric bill or in your phone book.) Give your name, address, phone number ai. \ any other pertinent information. During major storms, you may receive a busy signal on your first attempt. Please keep dialing until you reach us. Stay clear of any fallen wires and caution others to also keep away. Step 3 - When Your Power Is Off When your power is off, leave one light switch in the “on position so that you’ll know when your electric service is restored. Turn off any major appliances which you may have been using when power was interrupted. Do not open refrigerator or freezer doors while power is off.

Since its beginning four years ago, RAA has recognized the problems in providing opportunities to play summer baseball for 13 to 15-yearolds. There haven’t been enough players to form an in-county youth league as RAA has done for younger children. Arranging pick-up games has proved difficult since most other teams belong to a league.

But according to Kenyon and Foster, the ages of the youngsters interested in the program will determine if this is feasible. The structure of the two county teams will be set up to provide an opportunity for the greatest number of players, they emphasized. Being part of official Babe Ruth League Baseball will bring not only team competition but also the opportunity to, participate in two league tournaments on an age basis. Also there will be post season play for those outstanding players who PTA Meeting The Rappahannock Elementary School’s PTA will meet Thursday. February 26, at 7:30 p.m. at the school.

RAA has had four good years with its youth league program, providing scores of youngsters with a chance to have fun playing ball at the same time they learn the importance of team work, cooperation and sportsmanship. Foster, who is also president of the RAA, points with justifiable pride to the organization's success and to its sound financial condition, thanks to the support of individuals and local civic groups and businesses. Sound does not mean rich, however, and with the additional Babe Ruth program, added support in terms of money and service will be required. Foster emphasized. So as not to jeopardize present RAA programs, contributions earmarked for the Babe Ruth League are being sought. Needed right now are donations to pay initial league fees and insurance. Also needed will be additional equipment before try-outs and practice get started, and uniforms by opening day in early May. A player registration fee will offset some of the operating costs but this will be depleted quickly. Registration fees assure, however, that each player will carry at least some of the load, Foster noted.

FEBRUARY 19,1981 Easier To Criticize Tragedy struck the Jack Jenkins family last Friday. Fire broke out in the basement of their brick home on Fodderstack Road and before Washington’s volunteer firemen could reach the scene, the entire roof was in flames. Onlookers had harsh words for the fire department. We know it was difficult to stand helplessly by and watch a friend’s home and belongings go up in smoke, knowing that tankers and hose were less than a mile away, i By the time the trucks arrived—first Washington, then Flint Hill, Sperryville and Amissville—almost half an hour had elapsed. It was too late. But even though we can understand the anger of those who watched and could do nothing, we can’t condone the sentiments expressed. Washington’s fire trucks couldn’t roll without a driver behind the wheel. The driver for the hose truck, the driver for the tanker, the other vital personnel who had to be at the station before the engines could start were working. They had to be reached first at their jobs so they could race to the fire house before they could grab equipment and race to the fire. We have a question for the critics who were so free in their condemnation of the first department. They obviously were close enough to the town to hear the siren . There were a dozen or so men in the yard of the burning house within minutes of the alarm sounding. If they’re so available, why haven’t THEY joined the fire company as volunteers? There’s no question about it—Washington and Flint Hill were slow arriving at the fire. But look at the reasons. It took precious minutes for the men who risk their lives as fire fighters to (11 learn of the fire and (21 get from their jobs to the fire house. To avoid this life and property threatening delay, the vocal critics who reached the scene so quickly could volunteer as firemen. We are afraid, however, that they’ll just keep right on doing the same old thing. After all, it’s so much easier to be a critic than a problem solver. Scouts Thank Johnsons Beginning with a godson who used to bring an Oakton Boy Scout friend along for groundhog hunts to their Sperryville farm, Ned and Elisabeth Johnson's involvement with scouting grew to providing a summer campground every year for a troop from the little Fairfax County community. Last week. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson were surprised guests at, an nmrisdiaaKn Oakton where1 they 'were presented a bronzed plaque and framed certificate, thanking them for the friendship they've shown scouting. “They told Momma and Momma got me down there,” Johnson said. With chuckles, he recounted a race between the youngster sitting next to them at Monday's dinner and another hungry scout. The two boys had an eating contest but they went about it in a scientific tasnion. weighing in before they started stuffing and again after they couldn't swallow another bite. Last year's champ retained his crown, much to the chagrin of the Johnsons' dinner partner, Mr. Johnson reported. Before presenting the Johnsons with their award, the master of ceremonies asked for all the scouts who’d been camping at the Sperryville pond to stand up. "Just about every kid in the room got up." Johnson said. Next, he asked everyone who hadn't had a good time there to sit back down. “No ope sat down,” Johnson added Vith a grin. The pond where Ofi&ton Scouts have camped every summer for the past 12 years is surrounded by forest in a corner of the Johnsons' Sperryville farm. A one room cabin with a porch and ah old caboose provide shelter from the rain that never fails to interrupt the outing. Johnson bought the caboose yean ago for $100 from the Norfolk and Western Railroad and had it hauled over the mountain from about 20 miles below Ibmp n v-£?'■ /V ;<'*H f. t. T The Johnsons plan to continue allowing the Scouts to camp at their farm. "They’re the only ones we let in at the pond. Everyone else makes a mess. We’re glad to have the Scouts. They always leave things better than they find them.” Mrs. Johnson said. “They’re the backbone of America in my opinion.” Johnson added. “We’re glad we cwWtb^off hdp.” fV . >* fib » . —RappakaonocA N*w« Phou/D>phiw Hulchinaoci HONORED BY SCOUTS-Mr. and Mrs. C.E, Johnson,- Jr. of Sperryville hold, the “thank you” certificate and plaque they received from an Oakton Boy Scout Troop that has camped at the Johnson’s Sperryville farm for the past dozen or so years. —Spring Fire Season— By LYT WOOD Commty Fmkr The extremely dry • conditions that we have experienced since last fall may foreshadow a hazardous spring fire season. Rainfall, or lack of it, will determine the potential for forest fires this spring. But the actual number of fires that occur will directly depend on precautions and common sense used by all county residents. In past yean, debris burning has corisistcntly been the leading cause of brash and woodland fires in Rappahannock County. Spring is usually the most fire-prone season. This is because plant matter that has died back over the winter has accumulated on the ground. After a few dry, windy spring days, this accumulation of leaves and brush is highly combustible. Following are • few suggestions that will help to minimize the fire trouble this spring: f 1. Please take all reasonable care and precautions prior to any open burning. Don’t burn on dry or windy days. Get extra help or equipment if you need it 2. Be aware of potential fire hazards, such as branches resting on power lines, faulty machinery, careless smoking, campfires, etc. 3. Observe all fire laws. A list of the most important fire laws accompanies this article. You can get more detailed information by contacting the Virginia Division of Forestry, P. O. Box 148, Madison, VA 22727. 4. Support your local Volunteer Fire Department generously. The fire departments are the bases for control of forest fires, as well as house fires, and they need yenr snpport to continue operating. 5. If you plan to do a large controlled burn, notify the fire department in advance. Otherwise, someone may report the smoke and the ire t - * ' trucks may respond needlessly. False alarms are expensive 6. Keep important phone numbers handy, in an obvious place. The Rappahannock County Fire department dispatcher can be reached at 825-2222. ++++ Virginia’s Fire Laws: 1. As of March 1, the 4 o'clock burning law will be in effect. This law states that no open burning can be done within 300 feet of woodlands—or any material capable of spreading a fire to woodlands—except between 4:00 p.m. and 12:00 midnight. This law applies to burning from March 1 through May 15. State Forest Wardens, the County Sheriff, and other officials do not have the authority to issue permits allowing burning which takes exception to the law. These other fire laws are in effect the year round: 2. Any time that a fire is built in the open air within f •. 150 feet of woodlands (or any other material capable of spreading a fire), the fire must be totally extinguished before it is left unattended. 3. Any time a fire escapes into woodlands or brushlands as a result of carelessness, negligence, or intention, the person responsible for the fire will be liable for expenses of suppressing it. 4. All reasonable care and precaution must be taken prior to any open burning. ++++ Self-confidence is that state of being that makes a person feel sure and comfortable so that he is at ease everywhere, under any conditions, and all of the time. —Rhoda Lachar The Little Fox Our Rappahannock Heritage Delegate’s Report By GEORGE P. BEARD Funny thing happened on the way to the church of my choice on Sunday. It was raining to beat the band here in Richmond so I put on my overshoes. As I was walking down the brick sidewalk I noticed my right overshoe was bowed or bent to the right of my shoe. . 1 went in the bus station, sat down next to a group of people waiting for the bus and took off my overshoe. Lo! and behold an Irish potato rolled out on the floor, sprouts and all. 1 thought the folks there would crack up. Moral to this story is never leave your overshoes next to the potato sack. Speaking of Sunday, the past one made history. It was the first time in more than 203 years a voting calendar was dated on Sunday. There have been sessions that started on Saturday and gone into Sunday but never one scheduled on Sunday. We had Committee meetings early and began at Monday morning with only two 15 minute breaks. The House made the Monday deadline on all the bills, now it's up to the Senate to finish by next Tuesday. We have of course now started on the Senate bills while they are working on three times as many bills from the House. One of the fairest and best tax relief bills, tax indexing, was killed in the House. All 25 Republicans and 14 Democrats supported the bill and it failed on a 55 to 39 note. Essentially what this bill did was to gear the inflation rate to the tax deductions which would have stabilized the amount of State taxes we pay. Sorry to see this one go. it made a lot of sense (punningly dollars and cents). However, another tax bill did pass and that one known as the “Robin Hood” bill took from the rich and gave to the lower salaried people. No loss of revenue for the State but those making over S50.000 would not be allowed to deduct contributions, interest, medical or taxes. The upper income taxpayers would get a larger deduction at the beginning and a lower tax rate. No individual would really know until they applied the formula as to the exact difference. It was determined however that less taxes for the higher ificome people would be paid to the Federal Government, more would be paid to the State, thus no revenue loss to the State. It's doubtful because of individual unknowns that this bill will pass the Senate. .House Bill 1504 which would have eliminated the Gross Receipts taxes for localities was also killed. It simply stated those businesses which suffered losses and made no profit would be exempt from the Gross Receipts tax. Depreciation and salary payouts were not allowed in the computation. It would have been a big help for auto and boat dealers as more of them have gone out of business in our State than any other. A bill to start collective bargaining in Virginia known as a meet -and-copfej tyll died in the Committee on Labor and Commerce by a 16 to 3 vote. It was proposed by Delegate Stambaugh of Arlington. We've got a few actors down here and would you believe a bill to permit television cameras in a courtroom passed the House on a close vote. Imagine televising a divorce or rape case in your locality. Goodby "Guiding Light". Hope the Senate pulls the tubes on this one. There was a bill to raise the speed limit on Interstate Highways iK the Federal Government changed the law. raising it to 65. It fell by the wayside. Junior firemen and rescue squad members 16 years old and older will be allowed to stay in business with so many hours of training. There was an attempt to disband this young organization but we have never found out who was behind it. Anyway the bill sailed through the House and is now on its way to the Senate. Other bills passed were a moratorium on building new nursing homes, those already planned exempted; Penalty on selling drug paraphernalia; Increased the uninsured motorists fee from SI SO to S250 a year (this fund was getting low); Prohibiting the drinking in public of 3.2, the so-called low test beer, which is already against the law for all alcoholic beverages. A long debate was held on restricting the number of bills in a short session and ended in defeat. We heard today one similar is coming over from the Senate. Another debate was held today on increasing salaries for the Governor, Lieutenant Governor and the Attorney General. About 20 of us voted against these increases but it passed after the Committee reduced each one by $5,000. You wouldn’t believe the fringes these offices receive In all fairness, none of the present office holders was involved in requesting or approving the increases. Everyone was made aware of the fact that the Lieutenant Governor and Attorney Genera] officers were used as stepping stones to the Governorship. It was clearly brought out by all however that the last real Attorney General and perhaps the only one in the past 20 years was our own Robert Button of Culpeper. See you next week. More on Town Water fey THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock Newt* Staff Writer A relieved town council heard from councilman Charlies Jenkins last Wednesday that “the reservoir is full and running over.” Jenkins’ welcome report came a month after Washington found itself running out of water from a combination of drought, severe leaks, and unproductive wells. The town struggled through the weeks without water by practicing conservation. drilling a new well, and trucking in water to add to the insufficient output of the wells and springs. “Well, let’s not let it run over." said Mayor Newbill Miller. “Let’s keep it twothirds to three-quarters full and avoid any waste at all from overflow.” Jenkins and other council members agreed. Since the last council meeting and the drilling of one disapointing well, a state geologist has identified five locations where drilling would be most likely to yield a good supply of water. Although all five sites are in the flood plain. Miller and councilman Brad Fisher told the council that proper construction of the well would avoid problems caused by flooding. * The council authorized the mayor to start negotiations for the purchase of one of the parcels of land chosen by the geologist. The council then discussed the emergency water rates that were to be applied during the time of shortage. Fisher said that the total cost to the town of buying water was SI 440. Of this, $1,000 was actually paid for the water. The remaining costs were for labor to dear the site for hettVy track traffic, according to Fisher’s report. The council had planned to use the higher emergency rates to pay the cost, with townspeople paying according to their usage. “I’ve been amazed at the cooperation of the town," Fisher said. “Virtually everybody stayed under the quota we had set." Fisher went on to say that the town had only needed to import 36,000 gallons of water. "Our biggest source of waste was a huge leak,“Fisher said. “We lost 50,000 gallons there.” “Wait a minute,” Skippy Giles said. “If we only needed 36,000 gallons and 50,000 was lost in one leak, then we can’t charge the people for that. They did the best they could. Without the leak we wouldn't have needed the water." All members present agreed that the town should pick up the cost and that only norma] rates for January^ water would be billed. Engaging in informal conversation for several minutes, council members discussed conservation'' practices they had learned and were still using despite the easing of the shortage. There was unanimous praise . for the townspeople and their response to the problem. Fisher reported on the availability of loans from the Farm and Home Administration for a town water system update. He said that the town was in a good position to qualify for one of the loans. Members agreed to apply right away, to ask for a large portion of the money as a grant in addition to the lowinterest loan, and to insist on high quality construction and materials. "We’ve got to remedy this leak problem," Miller said, and council members agreed. After paying the bills, council adjournal. Little Known S.S. Provisions Persons in Culpeper nearing retirement age should know that a decision to postpone retirement could result in increased future social security benefits, the social security manager in Culpeper said recently. “A worker who will be 65 years old before 1982,” Bruce A. Hundley said, "will receive an increase in social security benefits of one percent for each year—or one-twelfth of one percent for each month —from age 65 to 72 that he or she does not get benefits. For workers who will not reach 65 until 1982 or later, the corresponding increase in benefits will be three percent a year or one-fourth of one percent'! month. This credit applies even to workers who received reduced benefits before age 65. Another provision is the special minimum retirement benefit for individuals who have worked under social security for at least 20 years. The special minimum benefit is designed for people who have had low earnings during their working years. The amount depends on the number of years of coverage. For more information about delayed retirement credits, contact the Culpeper social security office, located at 522 Culpeper Shopping Center. The telephone number is (703) 825-3500.

Sperryville Volunteers Seek Funds A fund drive by the Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad became necessary after removating a new operating base in the VFW hall and operating and maintaining two rescue units to serve Sperryville and portions of adjoining communities. A letter has been sent to residents of the Sperryville area which reads as follows: Dear Concerned Citizens and Friends of our Community: Here it is—a brand New Year—1981! We have a new President and a new Administration to head our Nation. The Hostages have finally been freed. Among the dynamics of our times, you should be aware that your Volunteer Rescue Squad has officially moved into and is functioning from its new home. This latter event also took some doing. Volunteer has been underlined because of a recent study which emphasized how uniquely American is the Volunteer approach in our Society. In the vast Soviet Union, for example, with its closed door’ complex, there is no volunteer operandus whereby vital functions are provided by the citizens to sustain the well-being of the Community. I would urge each of you to reflect on this important aspect of our American way of life. The volunteer approach, however, requires certain essential ingredients in order to function and survive. The individuals who are members of your Rescue Squad are surely most important as they give freely of their time and effort to serve you and the Community. As fine as they are. the organization they represent can not survive without your volunteer support. You are the other vital part of the volunteer equation. It has been some two years since we have written to you formally to ask for vour monetary support. We remain optimistic and confident that you will provide the assistance we urgently require in order to serve you and yours. Please sned your Volunter Contribution to: “SVRS", Sperryville. Va. 22740. Respectfully. DALE J. MF.TZINGER Secretary, SVRS Whether you are contacted by letter, or personally, or through this article, the Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad approach is the same—"We need and will appreciate your ‘volunteer support. Thanks." R.F.R.A. Meeting Rappahannock Fire & Rescue Association will meet Friday. February 20. at 7:30 p.m. at the Amissville fire house. All members are urged to attend.

Tax Break Given Tree Growers Landmark forestry legislation signed into law in October. 1980 by President Carter has been hailed by Virginia State Forester Wallace F. Custard as “one of the best things that has happened for forestry in many years." Custard said the legislation, passed through Congress as part of H. R. 4310, is now known as Public Law 96-451 (PL 451). The important feature is that it provides tax incentives for reforestation of privately owned timberland. “The law is a real bonanza for tree growers, and it's going to provide a tremendous boost to the forest economy of this state in years to come if landowners will just take ad* vantage of it.” said Custard. He said the law provides landowners a flat ten percent tax credit for an annual expenditure of up to $10,000 for tree planting and related forestry work. In addition it allows the tree growv - to take a tax deduction on his gross income for reforestation costs (up to the annual $10,000 limit) in equal amounts over a seven year period. "We’ve got nearly two million acres of privately owned timberland in Virginia needing some degree of reforestation and related improvement work to make it ideally productive,” said Custard. "The owners of this land are now in a position to recover a good portion of "the earth is but one country; and mankind its citizens."

Dr. Bloomer agreed with board members that in view of the new administration's proposed budget cuts, it is not realistic to expect Rappahannock to be awarded a DOE grant. “As the cost of fuel goes up, it’s going to be more and more important to ‘button up’ the schools but I think we have to do it on our own,’’ said Eastham. “We can’t depend on grant money.” His suggestion to address energy conservation measures and a permanent solution to Wage Kate Attacked their costs for such forestry work. “One of the really great aspects of this legislation." he continued, “is the fact that a landowner can claim $10,000 annually for expenditures made during the year as long as he continues to plant trees.” Any landowner who has incurred expenses in planting trees for commercial purposes on an acre or more of land during the taxable year could be eligible for a tax credit and should contact a tax consultant. The local Division of Forestry representative. County Extension Agent, or a Consulting Forester may also be able to provide assistance,'' Custard concluded. Virginia Attorney General Marshall Coleman announced Feb. 16 that he has written to the President and the Secretary of Labor asking for the withdrawal of new regulations imposing wage rates affecting Virginia's tobacco growers and apple producers. “The implementation of this regulation,” said Coleman, "would drive many small growers and producers out of business and sharply curtail the operations of others.” The “adverse effect wage rate” for temporary foreign farm workers was originally supposed to protect domestic workers from foreign competition. In recent years, farmers have pointed out the fact that American workers are simply not available for certain farm labor.

The program is divided into two age groups: high school students between the ages of 16 and 18, and men or women of college age or older. Positions are currently available on a competitive basis for this summer. The High School Program offers group work and recreational experiences for three to five weeks for students from all parts of the United States in groups of 6, 10 or 12 under skilled leadership. Two to four weeks are devoted to conservation work and one week is devoted to exploring and hiking in wilderness areas. Work tasks include trail maintenance and construction, revegetation of overused areas, boundary nteers Wanted fencing, and construction of bridges and shelters. The groups are usually located in isolated back country areas and operated out of selfcontained tent camps. The students do not receive a salary, but are provided with food, supervision, and group equipment. The Association offers some financial assistance to those who cannot meet the total Those interested should send a postcard requesting a “Program Listing” and an application to the Student Conservation Association Inc., Box 550H, Charleston, New Hampshire 03603.

It is well above the federal minimum wage of S3.35. It will arbitrarily increase the cost of doign business without necessarily providing any increase in protection for U. S. workers.” “This regulation,” said Coleman, “sets an artificially high nationwide rate which does not bear any direct relationship to the availability of local farmworkers or prevailing local wage rates. This rate will be imposed even where no apparent justification exists for attempting to prevent an ‘adverse effect’ on the wages of similarly employed U. S. workers.” “This is particularly true in the northern Shenandoah Valley and in Southside Virginia,” said Coleman, “where local farm labor is difficult to obtain.” In his letter to President Reagan and Secretary of Labor Raymond Donovan. Coleman recommended further study of the federal rate in order for producers and growers to be able to present the Labor Department with economic data which would justify their objections.

Communal Approach To Aging (Continued from Page 1) to live forever,” Gowell acknowledged. “We make the assumption that there will be other families interested in buying out the family that's leaving... Whether it will really happen that way, we don’t know.” Title to the property is held as a partnership, he added, with a third family to join later. "One family could adopt the other two and make it a single family residence,” joked the BZA chairman. Careful Choice ‘‘We're very careful on whom we select,” answered Gowell to a question on how the three families could guarantee getting along together. “Each family has a lot of privacy,” he said, noting as an example that even the decks off each private living area will be invisible from another family’s quarters. “We’ll be helping each other, caring for each other as we get older...If one of us is in a wheel chair, we'll be able to get through every door. There are no steps," Gowell continued. “There are many things we want to do. I want a big garden and I want to travel during the summer. You can't usually do both but with three families, we can take turns...The advantages are worth making compromises to adapt to each other’s needs.” "I think it's a great idea if it works out," commented BZA member Charles K. Estes as he voted with George Muth and Admiral Gardiner to unanimously approve the special use permit for a multi-family residence in an agricultural or conservation zone. “I haven't thought of that solution but it seems like a step in the right direction.” Prestige Rental Downtown Warrenton, at corner of Culpeper and Lee Streets.

Desperate Need Bloomer reported that the* air compressor at the school bus shop is in “desperate need" of replacement, according to transportation supervisor Allie Huff. “It’s been operated on so many times that there’s not enough left to operate on any more," the superintendent added. He explained, however, that the budget line under transportation for repairs, parts and supplies is already over-expanded. He estimated that a new compressor, used at the bus shop for pumping up tires and running the pneumatic anil, would cost between $1,500 and $2,000. The superintendent was authorized to secure a new compressor if he could get one for $1,500 or less. Expenditure over that amount must come back to the board at this Tuesday's special meeting Tor approval. In the time set aside at the opening of the meeting for public presentations, William H. Adams asked the board to consider offering Spanish instead of French if “monetary and human resources” limit language classes at RCHS to a single language. Adams maintained that Spanish is “more fundamentally useful” in that it is now the third most largely used language in the world. r ranking behind Chinese and English. French ranks eleventh and its use, according to Adams, is extremely limited.” Among U. S. high school students, surveys show that Spanish is the first choice for a foreign language followed by French and German, Adams said. He added that French is falling far behind English as the business and diplomatic language, a conclusion he personally verified on the basis of his worldwide travels. In review of applications for employment for the 1981 - 82 school year, he suggested that the board look for a teacher qualified to teach Spanish. Bos Bid Okayed Before retiring to an hourlong executive session, the board voted unanimously to accept a bid of $19,374 for a school bus with Bluebird body and International chassis with a special 60gallon gasoline tank. Dr. Bloomer noted that maintenance costs are lower for the BluebirdInternational combination which the school board has been buying since 1972.
