Action Tabled On New RCHS Courses Curriculum changes approved for Rappahannock County High School last October hang by the thread of available space and juding from information given the school board at last Tuesday's meeting, the thread won't stretch enough for the course expansions to be implemented in 1981-82. The board earlier approved requiring three units of math instead of the current two for graduation, adding a clerktypist block program, an additional section of typing and a remedial math lab and offering students in grades eight through 12 the option of either general or academic English. The board members repeatedly emphasized, however, that implementation was dependent upon classroom space. At Tuesday’s meeting, superintendent William Bloomer offered preliminary estimates on additional staff, space and equipment the expanded curriculum may require. He stressed that exact information depended upon the number of students signing up for specific courses as well as scheduling options. The additional math requirement for graduation will entail securing a classroom for one period pier day. Currently, only the typing room, reading lab and gymnasium are generally vacant for one period. Bloomer said. To begin the clerk-typist block, he said, a classroom and approximately $40,000 worth of equipment will be required. The additional section of typing can be handled during the one period per day that the typing room is empty, the superintendent said. He noted that five new typewriters for $3,280 already projected for next year in the five-year vocational plan will also have to be purchased on schedule. In addition. Bloomer said that the current typing teacher must give up one consumer math class to another instructor in order to teach the extra typing section. He acknowledged that RCHS does not now have a teacher on staff who can teach consumer math. Whether or not the number of sections of English will increase with the academic English offering will depend on how students split between the two options, according to Bloomer. If half the students choose academic English, the number of class sections will not increase but the split could conceivably require three additional sections, he said."b Classroom, teacher, equipment and supplies are all needed for the remedial math lab. the superintendent continued. All costs except for the classroom itself can be paid for with Title I federal funds, he said. Dependent upon student choices and scheduling, the curriculum expansion approved by the board could require two additional math sections and three additional (Continued on Page 3) Horses Go Off Mar. 7 In Rapp k Races Rappahannock Hunt’s annual point-to-point races, not the arrival of robins, is the county's traditional sign that spring is finally on its way. Scheduled this year for Saturday. March 7. the races offer a full day of steeplechasing and picnics at Thornton Hill Farm. I Vi miles south of Sperryville on Route 522. Virginia's finest steeplechasers are entered in nine exciting timber and hurdle races that get underway at 11 am. Point-to-point races derive from fox hunting and today are organized and run by local hunt clubs. As the name implies, they began as cross country racing from church steeple to steeple and originated as a means of settling arguments between hunt club members over whose horse was the best. These sometimes hurly burly affairs gradually evolved into today's Jockey Club sanctioned race meets. It is not quite like the old days but spectators now have an unimpeded view and enjoy it more. A fox hunt was first organized in Rappahannock with a private pack of hounds in about 1920 and became a recognized hunt by the Masters of Foxhounds Association in 1950. With recognition came pointto point racing. Today, race chairman David Carter shares the responsibility for running the races with Bernard Dahlgren and Larry LeHew. Joint Masters of Foxhounds. Point-to-point races over distances ranging from 1% to 3 miles, over timber fences, brush hurdles or flat ground. Owners, horses and riders frequently travel the race meet circuit, competing for trophies and ribbons. Some spend considerable sums for their mounts. But steeplechase races can also be won by a local farmer or rider with just a single horse. While all point-to-point racing is considered amateur, some races are for the amateur’s amateur or especially for the enjoyment of the local crowd. Rappahannock features three such races. In the ‘‘Pair Races,” a team of two riders on hunting horses traverse three miles crossing streams and ditches, jumping coops, stone walls, and rail fences. * Teachers Want New Pay Scale, Cost Of Living Raise By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer “Please help us keep these teachers!” Mrs. Gene Fisher implored the Rappahannock County School Board in support of salary and benefits requested by the Rappahannock County Education Association at last Tuesday’s special budget input session. The RCEA, representing the overwhelming majority of teachers here, asked for a new indexed pay scale, payment of full individual health insurance and a raise equal to the cost of livine Suicide Squad Vs. Oneders The WMAL Radio Oneders basketball team will be in Rappahannock on Wednesday. March 4 for an exciting contest with the WVFD Suicide Squad which will benefit the Washington Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad. The game will begin at 8 p.m. in the Rappahannock County High School gym. Among the WVFD Superstars in the opening lineup will be Merry Martin, Levi Corbin. Mike Connify and Buck Carter. The Oneders consist of Mark Mosely, Monte Coleman. Rick Milot arid Dallas Hickman of the Washington Redskins: Bob Windsor. former New England Patriot: Donnie Harris from the New York Giants and former St. Louis Cardinal Terry Metcalf. Also on the roster for the Oneders are WMAL's Jim Gallant and Johnny Holiday, team organizer, whose efforts have helped to raise funds for many non-profit organizations, Phil Armstrong. an attorney and policeman Larry Pagley. Admission is $4 for adults and S.J.50 for children. Tickets purchased in advance will be discounted SO cents, and may be purchased at Washington Cash Store. Washington House of Reproductions, Baldwin's Grocery. Nature’s Food. Rappahannock Farmers' Cooperative or Rappahannock County High School. They race either to match a predetermined unannounced optimum time; or it more stout hearted, to have the fastest elapsed time. The Rappahannock. Old Dominion, and Casanova Hunt Clubs offer individual trophies to the winners in both categories and special trophies for the best times in all three point-to-point pair races combined. Race participants are of both sexes and ad ages. Juniors, riders under eighteen may enter the pair race or the fifth race, just for them. There are three divisions in this event over flat ground with trophies for the winners in the horse, large pony, and small pony categories. The hound race, the last, is a wonderful finale to a day ai the races. A cross-country drag course is laid out with a game scent and over one hundred hounds are turned loose to follow it. going in every direction with some hounds taking days to come home. General admission for a day at the Rappahannock Races if $2.50 with children under 12 admitted free Parking is $2. Food and beverages will be sold on the grounds. increase reported by the U. S. Department of Labor as of March 1. Under the indexed scale, first year teachers will receive'' a base salary. Then for each year of experience, teachers will get a cummulative increase equal to a set percentage of that base: three per cent for the first and second year's experience, four per cent for the third year, three per cent for the fourth, fifth and sixth years, four per cent for the seventh and eighth and then three per cent for each year after that up to 51 per cent over the base salary for lb years in the system. Using a base salary of S8.(XK) for beginning teachers as an example, a teacher with lb years experience would get 151 per cent of that base or SI 2,080. With ten years experience, a teacher would earn 133 per cent of the base or $10,b40 and for four years experience. 113 per cent or $9,040. Any cost of living increases approved by the school board would also be applied to the base pay. according to the RCFA proposal. RCEA spokesman Don Bontberger noted that the four per cent step increases in the indexed salary scale correspond to the points at which teachers generally make career decisions. The jump from three to four per cent raises at those points r will '■provide additional incentive to slay in this system." he said. Training Ground "Presently, we have a training ground atSki Area Applies For Subdivision RappSki Ltd., owner of the out-of-business ski area in Harris Hollow, filed a rezoning application Monday to allow for residential development of 226 acres. According to a plat on file in the zoning office, the limited partnership is seeking to have eight parcels rezoned from commercial to residential subdivision. The lots range in size from 25 to 29.98 acres. The partnership intends to keep the current commercial zoning on a 75-acre parcel which contains the ski slopes and lodge. According to a letter in the rezoning application file from RappSki partner Eric Adamson to former county engineer Fanning Baumgardner dated February 12. the partnership's Failure to market the property as a 300-acre tract makes it "imperative to commence in seriousness the subdivision of the property." Tax Charge Guilty Plea Ronald M. Boshette of Amissville plead guilty in Federal court in Alexandria on Friday to charges that he failed to file personal income tax returns in 1076. As part of a plea bargaining agreement. Judge Albert V. Bryan. Jr. dismissed charges against Boshette for failure to file 1077 returns. Sentencing has been set for March 20 Maximum penalty that Boshette faces is one year in jail and a $10,000 fine. In addition, he will be required to pay $1,800 plus penalty and interest for taxes due in 1076 as well as back taxes for 1077. Currently. Boshette is free on $5,000 personal bond. mosphere. Bomberger said, maintaining that only the base salary for countyteachers is competitive with pay offered in surrounding systems. With the teachers leaving as they gain experience. it’s possible for a Rappahannock student to get a t'rst year teacher every year in school, according to Bomberger. "Teachers now have to really reach out to find a reason to stay here." He reported that 92 per cent of the teachers in the state get a higher maximum salary than what's paid in Rappahannock. The maximum salary here ranks last compared to neighboring counties which pay from $545 to $2,899 more. Bomberger said. “The teachers who have lost the most are tho^e who've been here the longest." he concluded. On behalf of the RCEA. Mary Dennison Moore asked the board to pay premiums for teachers' health insurance. a benefit that is currently provided by 120 of Virginia's 135 school systems, including Warren. Fauquier. Page. Madison and Culpeper count ies. Even Rappahannock’s base salary is not competitive with surrounding counties when fringe benefits are taken into account. Mrs. Moore noted. In addition, the RCEA asked for the Department of Labor’s March 1 cost of living figure to be applied to all teaching supplements. With increased gas prices, teachers now find themselves losing money by taking on extra duties. Mrs. Moore maintained. "They end up paying to coach or sponsor a club." she said, by the time transportation costs are balanced against supplements for extra duties. The RCEA also requested duty free lunch and unencumbered daily 1 planning periods for all teachers.

(Although the advertisement for the public hearing described the Settles' property as residential, the planning commissioners maintained on Wednesday that the land is zoned agricultural.) Hushel Settle reported that he’s been running a wrecker from the location for the past seven years and operating a garage mere lor me pasi three and a half. He said he needed the commercial re/oning to obtain a license front the state to operate a vehicle inspection station. Settle said later that he's also trying to get a license to sell used cars but has no plans to puntp gas. "A lot that 1 pull in are wrecked.” he explained. adding that he repaired the vehicles and now wanted to sell them. According to Settle, he currently has 15 to 20 cars and has had as many as 45 at one time, waiting to be repaired in his 30 foot by 42 foot garage. He noted that he salvages parts he can use from extensively damaged vehicles and then sells what's left as scrap to a Winchester firm. He told the commissioners that the garage, a family business, will be the sole source of income for his son. Settle added that he plans to work there approximately 35 hours per week himself. Among the 20 some spectators in the courtroom—all in favor of Settle's application—were adjoining landowners Brown Compton and Mrs. Vivian Cook. Noting the ever increasing cost of gasoline. Compton said a garage in the neighborhood would save residents money by reducing driving distance. "We need more businesses like this all over the county." he said. “If you refuse to re/one. it's your all’s hard luck, not his." said Mrs. Cook. "I live right below Mr. Settle and vCont'mit^d pn Page 31 l<U|l|M«llMniMM It Nltt* IMtoln I KiMtoltlSIGN OF SPRING: One of the earliest.crocuses in town was in full bloom at the News office Tuesday. Warm days and steady rains have pushed Rappahannock County springtime a little ahead of schedule. Subdivision Rezoning Sought Carson Johnson applied last Wednesday to the Rappahannock planning commission for a public hearing in the first step of approvals required for a proposed l()-lot subdivision on land belonging to John Kalas. Johnson as trustee is seeking to have 144 acres on Route 600 near Sperryville re/oned from agriculture to residential subdivision. According to plats filed with the commission, plans call for the property to be divided into ten lots, ranging in size from five to 25 acres. With a reminder to Johnson that at least two of the roads in the proposed development will have to be built to state specifications, the planning commissioners set the public hearing on the rezoning for March lb at 7:30 in the courthouse. At that same time, the commissioners agreed to hold J a second public hearing, this one on Donald Brown's application to rezone his lot on Route 211 three miles south of Amissville from agriculture to commercial for the operation of a building supply yard. The commissioners also forwarded an application for a 3.392 acre agricultural and forestal district on to the special AFD advisory committee. The parcels involved, located primarily in Gid Brown Hollow and along Rt. 211 east of Sperryville. are owned by 19 different individuals. Just as the commissioners were ready to adjourn their February 18 meeting, they were joined bv professional planner Dick McNear, ex officio member who is assisting with review and revision of the county's zoning and subdivision ordinances. After spending the past two weeks working on definable /lining boundaries. McNear told the commissioners that Rappahannock doesn’t have what could be defined as "a pure agricultural (zoning) district." He suggested that the commissioners consider separating out the village and settlement areas, steep slopes and possibly prime agricultural soils and putting the rest of the county into a single rural zone. "You can do that legally." he emphasized. In the one rural zone, land use controls could be achieved by linking slope to density. according to McNear. For example, density in the rural zone would be one house |vr acres unless the landounci could show by topographical survey that slope was below 14 per cent grade Land with (Continued on I’age ''

Anyone will agree that Paula is one busy, hard-working young lady. She’s easily recognized because she’s the one who is always running up and down the halls with a frantic expression on her face. Here's proof of her efforts and accomplishments. Paula has played at guard on the basketball team at RCHS for five years. In tenth grade she was a member of FBLA and the Annual Staff. This same year she was inducted into the Honor Society with continuing membership. Last year, lettering in basketball, Paula became a member of the Varsity Club and is president this year. She's also treasurer of the Senior Gass and the SCA. Paula is almost as active outisde of school as in. She is a member of the Mt. Lebanon Church youth group and choir and puts her 8 years of piano lessons into playing tor the church. Paula has received honors and awards both in and out of school. Last summer she attended the Governor's School for the Gifted for a month and this year she was chosen as DAR Good Citizen from our school. Paula has lettered twice in basketball and has earned certificates and pins for her participation in Piano Auditions held by the National Piano Guild in Washington. D. C. Paula is an A and B student and seems to enjoy her classes. She would like to attend the University of Virginia and major in nursing. Paula attributes her success to the support she's received from her parents. Her mom has always been there when she's needed someone to talk to and lean on. “I 'love and appreciate both of them very much”. We asked Paula if she had any comments about the teachers, educational program, hnd facilities at Rappahannock: She says that she has always had the good fortune to have good teachers, and that she wishes there were more special interest courses such as different languages and courses in the arts. She says it's awkward for the science classes not to have the facilities they need. “We can only hope that someday we'll catch up with the rest of the world”. Paula is glad for the extra stimulation of the advanced courses and the Gifted and Talented Program. She finds that her years at RCHS have gone by quickly and says that Mrs. Wayland’s French class was always the best and her friends and playing basketball will be remembered most. Paula would like to thank all of her teachers and the administration for the patience they’ve had with her and she’s very grateful for everything they’ve done. She sends a special thanks to her very close friends because “1 couldn't have made it this far without them.” On February 17, the Rappahannock Panthers played the Luray Bulldogs. The varsity team fell to defeat with a 40-72 score. The J.V. team was also defeated 21-27. On February 20. the seniors played the faculty at RCHS. In the opening of the ladies game the faculty team pulled to an early lead, with Mrs. Jim Logan, special ed teacher, starring. The seniors, stunned with the consistancy of the faculty, pulled together and defeated the lady faculty with an 18-14 score. The second game was fought between the male seniors and faculty. The faculty jumped to an early lead and showed the seniors just how the game is played. Thfey continued to dominate the remainder of the game and the final score was seniors 16. faculty 42. The FHA (Future Homemakers of America) has scheduled a dance for March 6. Rezoning Sought (Continued from Page 1) less than 14 per cent slope would be' allowed one house per five acres. “There's a world of difference between the environmental impact of development on 14 per cent slopes and 35 per cent slopes." McNear continued. He suggested that steep mountain areas be delineated on the zoning map and put into a separate zoning category. “But you're not really going to have to worry about (development on) the mountains if you require state spec roads,” the planner noted, adding that the expense of building to state standards will act as an economic deterrant.

Questioned how he would define “intermediate slopes." he said 10 to 18 per cent grade. "Intermediate to me is dangerous to mow with a tractor," added commissioner Newbill Miller. "I'm just throwing these things out. You all have to decide." McNear emphasized. “If you want to stick with what you've got. then you should put all the county in one zone and sort it out with regulations."

RCEA Request Aimed At Cutting Turn-Over (Continued from Page 1) teachers are on duty each day during lunch while high school teachers take turns on a rotating basis. RCHS teachers have one hour of planning time daily, upper elementary teachers one-half hour per day. lower elementary teachers one-half hour every other day and kindergarten teachers none at all, according to Mrs. Moore. Space Needed Elementary librarian Lucia Kilby, in a presentation on instructional requests, stressed the RCEA’s support for expans.on to fill space needs at both the elementary and high school. For the high school, she specifically cited requirements for additional space for music and business rooms, science labs, guidance office, library, cafeteria and restrooms. Space is fast becoming a problem at the elementary school as well, Mrs. Kilby said, pointing out that gifted and talented classes meet on the auditorium stage at the same time the auditorium is used for physical education while the music teacher must push movable carts for books, records, instruments and record player from class to class. With nojeom available for music, J|te music teacher must alsq-'enlist the help of upper elementary students to move around the piano on wheels, she said. In a final point. Mrs. Kilby noted that Rappahannock should follow the example'of all surrounding counties by providing alternative education for students who are disruptive and cannot function in a regular program but are too young to attend vocational classes or drop out. As Mrs. Kilby finished. Robert Eastham interjected that the February 17 special meeting was for input on the 1981-82 school operational budget only, not the capital outlay budget. (Judging by comments from the 75 to 80 people crammed in the elementary school library and spilling out into the hall, most had attended the budget input meeting with the intentions of addressing capital outlay, a line item in the operating budget. With capital outlay discussion cut off. only 27 were there to greet the board members when they returned to open session at 10:30 after an hour and a half executive meeting.) Teachers Hurt Most Wally Sherertz, director of the district’s educational associations, reminded the school board that according to statistics from the planning district, median family income in Rappahannock has jumped over 80 per cent since 1974. At the same time, base salary for county teachers increased by 25 per cent while the cost of living climbed 50 per cent. "Everyone is suffering from inflation...but not everyone is suffering equally...A substantial number of people in Rappahannock County are managing to stay ahead.” he said. Sherertz also noted that preliminary fair market value assessment figures set the county’s total taxable worth at $245,000,000—an increase of over 2.000 per cent over the old total of $11,582,821. "Going from a 60 per cent assessment to a 100 per cent assessment certainly doesn't account for a 2,115 per cent increase.” he said. “This county has the ability to pay reasonable average salaries and hopefully cut down on the drastic teacher turn-over rate... There isn’t a school district that can survive a 40 per cent turn-over and not experience a reduction in the quality of education,” Sherertz said. Speaking for the bus drivers. Charlotte Turnmeyer asked the board to consider providing retirement benefits, something that all school employees except bus drivers currently receive. She acknowledged that most people do not consider bus drivers as full-time employees but noted that odd hours and having to be available throughout the day in case school lets out early make it difficult to hold another position. She also requested that the school board pay a portion of the health insurance for drivers, some of whom pay in excess of $100 per month for coverage, and allow drivers to accumulate the five days of sick leave they were granted last year. Finally, she asked for a 14 per cent salary increase plus a pay scale for drivers. "The cost of living here goes up just like it does anywhere else. So does the inflation rate." she concluded.

WILLIAM HOARE of Flint Hill, a landscape architect, was guest speaker for the February meeting of the Piedmont Board of Realtors at the Culpeper Country Club. He spoke on the possibilities of preserving or providing natural settings for existing or new structures. He was born in England, studied at Gloucestershire College and has lectured at Cambridge and the University of Virginia. With him is Mrs. Susannah Herndon of Orange.

Thursday, February 26, 1981 3 Planners Table Action On Spot Zoning Request (Continued from Page 1) you couldn’t ask for a better person.” Earlier in the hearing, Settle told the planning commissioners that none of the adjoining landowners—neither Mrs. Cook, Compton nor Chris Parrish — opposed his rezoning request. Commissioner Dave Fannon noted, however, that a letter in opposition to Settle’s application had been received from Mrs. I. L. Parrish. In addition, commissioner David Thornhill reported that her son, Chris Parrish, had called him that evening. "He said he’s not in favor of it," Thornhill stated, adding that he guessed Parrish had changed his mind since talking to Settle. Site Okayed By Parrish Settle told the commissioners that he’d discussed his plans for a garage with I. L. Parrish before he built the structure three and a half years ago. According to Settle, Parrish was initially opposed to the original location on the road but told him that he had “no complaints” if the garage was ‘put back in the mountain...I put it b^ck where he wanted it.” Settle said. Bill Kelly and Steve Bullock, adjoining landowners to property two miles away that was rezoned to a commercial garage last December, both supported Settle's application. Bullock pointed out the inconsistencies of the planning commission's actions in voting unanimously to recommend approval of a commercial garage rezoning for Jerry Mills in December and then turning around two months later and unanimously recommending denial of Thomas Dodson’s application for a commercial garage rezoning at Slate Mills. Bullock noted that the reasons cited by the commission in recommending denial of the Dodson rezoning were the same reasons he and Kelly put forward in opposition to the Mills rezoning, reasons that were ignored by the planning commissioners in the earlier case. According to Bullock. Settle has an excellent reputation as a mechanic. "You’ve set the precedent. You rezoned the Mills property...Let’s not give him (Mills) a monopoly (on car repairs and inspections) *in the area,” he advised. * Bullock maintained tljat it’s irrelevant whether the business involved in the commercial rezoning is new or already existing. "You should be consistent,” he told the planners, adding that “it all comes back to enforcement of the zoning ordinance." “The character of the area has already been changed by the Mills rezoning." said Bill Kelly. He added that approval of the rezoning would ‘‘foster competition” and "reward an entrepreneur (for) virtues that made this country great.” In addition. Kelly said the commissioners' decision will demonstrate whether large landowners like the Parrish family are “able to dominate" and "tell the little guy what he can and can’t do." In Business Illegally E. P. Luke, chairman of the Rappahannock supervisors and the board's representative on the planning commission, questioned why the rezoning was necessary for Settle to inspect cars when he’s been running a garage business for over three years with none of the required land use approvals. "Unless you characterize the garage as a home occupation. he has to have a rezoning just to do what he’s been doing for the last three and a half years, maybe seven years." advised commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner. “Why do we have to rezone just so he can get an inspection license?" asked Luke. "I think the rezoning should have come before he went into business.” According to Settle, the state will issue an inspection license without the com mercial rezoning but without the zoning, the county could take away the license. Commissioner Charles Estes noted that Settle must comply with all county ordinances before he can qualify for a dealers license. (The ordinance allows service stations and garages by right in residential-business, general business or commercial districts and industrial districts. Garages are" not permitted by right or with a special use permit in either residential or agricultural districts.) RCEA Request (Continued from Page 2) benefit of medical coverage if the RCEA proposals are rejected or going to Madison where medical coverage is provided. "I love working ehre...I would like the opportunity to stay." “I took a cut in salary when I moved here," said RCHS teacher Deborah Harris. On top of that, she said, she actually lost $5 from her extra duties in teaching a homebound student. Ms. Harris reported that she cleared $100 for two months while spending $105 in gasoline for transportation to and from the student’s home. “I declined taking two other homebound students...I don't know any high school teacher who will take homebound students because they end up losing money on it." The majority of these attending the budget input session left when the board retired to executive session. Joel Daczewitz appeared to speak for most of the audience when he told that board that he had “nothing to stay” if capital outlay couldn't be addressed.

Player Reinstated In executive session with the board were Mr. and Mrs. James Leake, their son Mike, starting center on the RCHS varsity basketball team, attorney Bill Fletcher, and high school principal and v i ce - pr i n ci pa I Dennis Wingfield and John Toth. After an hour and a half in closed meeting, the board voted unanimously to reverse the decision on one student reached the previous Friday by the discipline committee. On February 13. the discipline committee, chairman Beverly Massie and Nelson Lane, agreed to readmit five students who had been suspended for three days for violation of the school's drug and alcohol policy. The students, one junior varsity and four varsity basketball players, were allegedly involved in a drinking incident that took place February 10 on the return bus trip from Page High School. In addition to the suspension from school, the boys were prohibited from participating in basketball for the remainder of the season. The school board’s action on Tuesday reinstated Leake on the team. Kindergarten Registration Registration for kindergarten children will be held at the Rappahannock elementary school on Monday. March 2, from 2.30 to 8:30 p.m. and on Tuesday, March 3, from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. To register, children must be five years old on or before December 31. 1981. Parents should call the school at 9878259 for an appointment and ' bring a birth certificate and immunization record. State law requires registration of all eligible children. Following registration, however, parents can make a written request , that their child not be enrolled. No Difference “There's no substantial difference between this and the rezoning we denied last week, maintained Fannon. At the February 3 hearing on Dodson s rezoning request, no one but the applicant and his son appeared in favor. At Settle’s February 18 hearing, over 20 people raised their hands in support of his rezoning request. "I get the feeling that everyone’s here tonight because no one was at the other meeting," Fannon said. Baumgardner asked if there is any other commercial property in the vicinity of Settle's land and was told Mills’ garage two miles away on the same road is the closest. The commonwealth's attorney^noted that the Mills rezoning approved by the planning commission in December is not an extension of an existing commercial zone as indicated by the commissioners whenever the question of precedent is raised. Mills store which adjoins the garage lot was never colored in commercial on the county's official zoning map and so was not zoned commercial when the ordinance was adopted in 1973. Therefore, according to Baumgardner, the store is a non-conforming commercial use in an agricultural zone, a condition that makes the Mills rezoning "spot zoning" rather than an extension of an already existing commercial zone. In December. Stephen Will, attorney for landowners adjoining Mills' property, raised this same point. Does It Conform? "It’s not who's for or who’s against (the Settle rezoning)." said commissioner Newbill Miller. "The basic question is does it conform to the ordinance." "But what happens to Mr. Settle's business if we say no? Does he have to shut down?" asked Luke. "In order to comply with the ordinances, he must either close his business or get a rezoning." "Another question is what precedent did the board set in rezoning the Mills property.” interjected Baumgardner. Miller responded that the planners also created a precedent in recommending denial of the Dodson rezoning in early February. "We've chosen not to play real hard ball (with enforcement of the county's zoning laws)." added Luke, noting that county regulations allow for a S250 fine per day plus other remedies for violations of the zoning ordinance. According to Miller, the planning commissioners FireRescue Calls Reena Ellis was taken from Rappahannock Clinic on February 18 to Fauquier Hospital by the Sperryville Rescue Squad. On February 20 Edward Beck of Maryland was taken to Culpeper Memorial Hospital from an accident on' 211 west of Sperryville. acted on Jerry Mill's’ rezoning application under the misconception that the adjoining store property was already zoned commercial. White this may have been the case with the planning commission, the supervisors were under no such illusion when they voted to approve the rezoning. Baumgardner noted he advised the board that the adjoining store WAS NOT zoned commercial before the supervisors voted unanimously to grant Mills' rezoning request. The board, he said, was aware that the store was a non-confortning commercial use in an agricultural zone. information that came directly from zoning administrator Evan McNear. If Mills store was not colored commercial on the county zoning map, then technically the property is not zoned commercial, no matter what the intent of local government was at the time, according to Miller. “That puts us in error in the decision on the Slate Mills property," he said. Luke requested a site inspection of the Settle property before the commissioners vote on a recommendation to the supervisors. February 25 at 7:30 p.m. was set for a special meeting to act on the rezoning application. Blanket Rezoning “I don’t object to Mr. Settle fixing cars there but I do object to a blanket (commercial) rezoning in an agricultural district.” said Fannon. He added that the problems facing the county with all the garage requests show the need for a conditional rezoning option to give local government more flexibility in dealing with proposed land uses. “If it weren't fnr the conflicting precedent, I wouldn't have any problem with it." Miller added. Luke claimed that the commercial designation on Mills store was left oft the county map by error when the zoning ordinance was adopted in 197.1. He pointed out that all of Rappahannock's other existing grocery stores were colored commercial at that time. "The cause of the problem is lack of enforcement." countered Estes. "Who's going to enforce (the zoning and subdivision ordinances)? Name me someone." Luke demanded. Fannon suggested that the best line of action on Settle's application would be to deny his rezoning request and then let him continue the garage operation, with the county looking the other way on enforcement as it has done for the past three and a half years. To enforce or not to enforce is the discretion of the zoning administrator, according to Baumgardner. Fannon emphasized that the county’s comprehensive plan, recently adopted after years of work, specifies areas for future commercial growth which don't include the vicinity of either the Mills. Dodson or Settle garages. If the Settles’ request is approved. it will constitute spot zoning, he said. "It is spot zoning but it won't be the first time we've done it," Luke concluded. MR. & MRS.

Zfeai ^‘'Estate %j41. i RE AITOV i LAND OPTION TECHNIQUE When considering the purchase of a large parcel of land, it would be wise to think about a technique which has some degree of risk but tremendous profit potential. It is called the land option. What is an option? It is siniplv a legal paper that gives you the right to purchase a given parcel of land for a given price during a specified period of time, but not the obligation to buy the land. The cost of the option is generally applied to the purchase price if you exercise the option, if you do not exercise it. the option money is forfeited. Why is it a good technique to use? Because you “reserve" land at today's price for tomorrow's increase in value. When the parcel's value has gone up you can sell the option at a profit or you can buy at the specified price and resell to another buyer. It your hunch doesn't pan out. all you've lost is the price of the option without tying up a lot of money over a period of years. There are many varieties of options, so it's always best to work with a real estate professional in this area.

Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26,1981 Delegate’s Report The old clock on the balcony of the House is slowly winding down as we wade through a sea of Senate Bills and House Bills with Senate amendments in this the last week of the General Assembly. 1 agree with the Speaker, when he forgot his mike was still on and blurted out. "Good Lord, the Senate would amend the Lord's Prayer if the House sent it over." We will have quite a few amended House Bills to iron out which may cause a delay on Saturday. In an effort to increase the use of domestic steel on State projects costing over $50,000.00 a bill was first killed and then brought back and passed by 6 votes. Contractors must use domestic steel unless bids are more than 10 percent higher than the foreign bids. How this is going to be policed is beyond my imagination. A Delegate here swore he had recently seen a Toyota with a bumper sticker which read “Buy American". Bills on both sides of the General Assembly are falling like flies in the winter time. The “Camera in the Court Room” blew a .tube in a Senate Committee and is gone for this Session. All House tax relief bills were killed in Committee. This includes the food tax. prescription drug tax and the "Robin Hood" tax bill. We just learned .today .that * President Reagan's economic plan will cost the State of Virginia some S47 million in federal funds for education. Pretty close to the same figure the General Assembly appropriated this year from part of the surplus. Wonder what will happen by 1982 when we get further cuts on other programs which are expected to be conducted. The Senate did amend last year's fuel oil bill which eliminated the sales tax, to take effect in October 1981 instead of July 1982. I'ts hard for me to believe that besides the fuel oil bill, the only tax reduced was the tax restaurants, hotels and clubs pay on bulk alcohol. This rascal passed the Senate and squeaked by the House on 52 to 43 vote. Would you believe I was the only Delegate to speak out against it on the Floor. I was able to get at least 43 no votes. The A.B.C. people claimed and proved that there will be a tax loss of $1,650.00 which By GEORGE P. BEARD will be a loss of 5 percent o 8 percent to our localities. I mentioned this, along with Delegate Giesen. to the Governor - to see whether or not he would veto it and we got no response. His address is State Capitol. Richmond. Virginia 23219. if you folks care to write. Thank goodness the Senate Finance Committee amended the Mini-Budget to give more funds for Germanna to keep the positions we worked for last year. All the House did was to add a 2 percent increase to the present salaries of teachers at Germanna. The House Appropriations Committee approved a resolution, which everyone supported, requesting local governments to assure that part of the increase in funds for secondary education be used to bring teachers salaries up as close as possible to neighboring States. There was an effort in the Senate to send an extra $10 million for urban schools but this time it failed, (one for the rural boys.) Somehow, and 1 haven’t figured out this one. a bill has passed the House and Senate requiring parolees on work release programs to pay the State $15.00 per month while they are in this category. It is estimated that there are about 10.000 of them, which would bring about $2 million in revenue to help defray the cost of their supervision. Hung up because of technicalities is a Senate Bill to allow farmers to use tax free revenue lands to build bams, acquire land or any other capital improvement he may need in his operation. Machinery and equipment are excluded. We are supposed to vote on it tomorrow. The assumption being if it’s good for sommercial industry. it surely ought to be good for the agriculture industry. Another bill affecting large farm operations is a bill to require farmers to pay unemployment taxes if they have ten or more employees. Parttime workers would not count. A bill on the way to the Governor would make it mandatory for a Judge to levy a fine of $200.00 on anyone caught driving under the intluence the first time. Killed in the House today was a bill to allow certain capital tax credits to in dustries building plants in Virginia that convert coal, garbage or corn into alcohol for auto use. There are no such plants in Virginia yet and this was an inventive bill for that purpose. A local Culpeper man is contemplating building such a plant in Petersburg. All the bills I have in have passed and cleared except the ‘‘cat bill”. My resolution calling for a study of Uranium Mining cleared the House today thanks to Senator Nathan Miller. V.P.l. informed me after the resolution left the House that they could not do the job. so I contacted Chairman Joseph Johnson of the Virginia Commission on Coal and Energy and they agreed to conduct the study. Senator Miller was quick to place an amendment in the Senate Rules Committee making this change for which 1 am most grateful. After his amendment was accepted, it cleared the Committee and the full Senate with no dissenting votes, so we are on our way. This Commission has twenty members composed of Senators. Delegates and well qualified representatives from U. Va.. V.P.I. and William and Mary Colleges. Well folks this is my last bit of news scratching from Richmond for this Session as we are supposed to adjourn Saturday.

This was The News... in Bygone Rappahannock Times. 30 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS IN THE FEBRUARY 23. 1%0 edition of the Rappahannock News the Rappahannock Hunt of that year was described in the lead story: “In one of the most outstanding social and hunting events of the season, the Rappahannock Hunt was host to the Old Dominion Hunt and other distinguished visitors yesterday at Double Gates for the beginning of the hunt and for breakfast at Mt. Prospect." “A field of about 40 turned out at Fletcher’s Double Gates. Among those were Col. Albert Hinckley. M.F.H.. Old Dominion Hunt; Mrs. Robert Winmill, ex-M.F.H. of Warrenton; Col. H.H.C. Richards of Rappahannock Hunt, whip G. Eastham, whip and secretary of the Rappahannock Hunt, whip W. G. Keyser, Jr. and James W. Fletcher. M.F.H. of Rappahannock Hunt, and others.” 20 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS THE RAPPAHANNOCK News of February 23 reported that the Casanova races were postponed because of snow. Six-foot drifts melting on the rolling course forced postponement of the point-to-point. County residents were interested to find out that Shirley MacLaine was a granddaughter of Rappahannock. Her grandmother, the late Ada Partlow Beatty, was born and raised in the county and at one time taught in the little one-room school at Mt. Salem. 5 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS At the supervisors meeting of Feb. 10, 1976, Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis told the supervisors that the judges who sat at the Rappahannock Court House needed more space. Opposition to the proposition came from Supervisor H. B. Wood, who said: “We had 7,000 people living in the county 20 years ago, and now we’ve only got 5,000 and we need more space! ” The new Rappahannock County Sheriff, William Bun tin, asked for an additional deputy to help keep up with the rising Rappahannock County crime rate. He compared Rappahannock’s tiny force with that of nearby Madison, which had at that time ten or twelve people. CUB SCOUT WILLIAM COMPTON of Castleton received the artist’s award from leader Robert Jenkins at the Blue and Gold banquet of Scout Pack 123 Friday. With him are his parents, William and Nancy Compton and Julie and Jim Logan, both local school teachers. Jim Logan, an Eagle Scout, was guest speaker for the dinner meeting. Letters To The Editor Inaccurate To the editor: What did the Rappahannock News expect to gain, or convey to the public, by the sensational headline. “Worth Of Rappahannock Property Jumps 2115 Per Cent"? In the first place the statement is inaccurate. Newspapers must report facts. Is someone trying to be sensational. to stir up or mislead the public, or just what? Is not an apology due the public as well as our county officials? The headline claiming an 2115 percent is wrong. I come up with approximately an 191 percent increase: here is how . Our Commissioner of Revenue advises the SI 1.582.821.00 discounted assessment represents 15 percent of 60 percent market value. Thus by dividing this dollar figure by 15. multiplying by 100. dividing by 60 and again multiplying by 100 we come up with a market value of SI 28,698.010.00. Hense when our current market value is calculated to be S245.4I8.360.00 such is about a 191 percent increase, not 2115 percent increase. A 191 percent increase may be disturbing to some but such does not mean our individual tax bill will be increased by a like percent. Our individual taxes will be based on a TAX RATE established by our Board of Supervisors which will provide sufficient revenue to meet the goods and services the citizens of our county expect. After all the members of our Board pay taxes the same as you and me. What we need to concern ourselves about is whether or not the market value of our individual properties ap proaches the market value of other comparable properties. Sarah, whether you publish this or not is up to you. My main concern is to see your paper, our paper, not do things damaging to the paper itself, to you guys, and to the public. I want to be proud of the Rappahannock News. W. H. LYNE Washington Editors Note: The lipures used lust week vtcre taken directly from the but him line of the county's land hook. We do acknowledge, however, that to avoid possible misunderstandings the headline should have read "Assessed Worth of Ruppuhunnock Property Jumps By 2115 Percent. " Clarification The article on the county's new assessment in the February 19 issue of the Rappahannock News listed 1 he Little r ox TrrrBl properties belonging to local officials and their assessed worth at 100 per cent fair market value. Several individuals own more than one piece of property. The holdings of a few take up several pages in the new land book. In the article, however, only a single piece of property was included for each person as a representative sample. Don’t Play Scrooge To the editor: 1 attended the School Board meeting on February 17 under the mistaken impression that a discussion of capital expenditure was on the agenda. I trust that the School Board will give their constituents an opportunity to express their views on this matter in the near future. The discussion of teachers' salaries was however, interesting and 1 am sure that I represent the feelings ot many residents when 1 say that the value of a child's education must be considered of far greater- importance than a few extra tax dollars. I am equally certain that we shall not achieve the quality of education which our children need if we play Scrooge with our teachers’ salaries. It is particularly important that we place a higher value on experience and dedication so we may keep the good teachers we have and attract talented new staff members to make a career in the County. Whether or not they have a child in the public school system, any person who truly cares for the future of Rappahannock will be willing to make this small but vital investment in the County’s future. WILLIAM J. K. HOARF Flint Hill Not Protected To the editor: The front page of the Washington Post. February 16, 1981. tells of the loss of dairy cattle, fish and poultry, and destruction of milk due to arsenic and chromium from the Culpeper Wood Preservers. This tragic story warns us. again, that we are not protected by the State and Federal bureaucracies that have reassuring titles like "State Health Department". "State Water Control Board." and "Environmental Protection Agency." The State Health Department official whose office is less than a mile from the chemical pond in Culpeper was unaware of the existence of the pond and said, "I'm gald I was out of town," when the cause of the cattle deaths was discovered. The State Water Control Board official says. "We don’t really believe this is going to be a long-term problem.” (Except, of course, to the dairy farmers who stand to lose millions of dollars worth of cattle and milk and the children who have been drinking lethal chemicals in their milk.) We in Rappahannock County must learn from these and simliar events that we have to take responsibility ourselves to ensure the quality of our water, air and earth. We must evaluate every proposed use of our shared natural environment as carefully as we know how. and protect ourselves and our children from unnecessary risks with such tragic consequences as we see in our neighbor’s case. Do these thoughts apply to the proposed animal skins preserving operation in Sperryville? BEVERLY HUNTER Amissville Constructive To the editor: Your lead editorial last week concerning the manning problems of our fire departments and rescue squads was short, blunt, and strong. It was also constructive. If we don't recognize our problems, how the H--- are we going to solve them? Our fire and rescue services must have more than money. We require people. —people who will give the time to perform the duties and take the training: — people who. in the American tradition, will halt their daily activities long enough to help each other in emergencies; —people who. when the siren sounds, will close their shops, leave their offices, stop their tractors, and make the volunteer system work. Will those who are interested please contact me at 675-3395 or Washington Chief Roger Roach at 9878101 or. better yet. come to our next general meeting at the courthouse at 7:45 p.m. on March 9.

HOW TO DIE IN AFIRE In order of frequency the five ways that fire kills are 1. Asphyxiation: Just lowering the oxygen content of air from 20% to 16% confuses thinking, at 6% breathing stops. 2. Hot Air: Home fires generate air blasts of 1,000° which can travel far ahead of actual flames and kill in seconds. 3. Smoke: Blocks visibility and contains carbon monoxide, usually with other toxic products. 4. Toxic Products: A dozen are frequently present in smoke. In combination, their power to damage lungs, blind, and confuse is greatly increased. 5. Flames: The above factors usually do their work with little warning. Depending on advancing flames to give enough warning is one way to die in a fire.

Richmond Bureau Having completed the vast majority of its legislative chores for 1981, the Virginia General Assembly adjourned Saturday, ending one of the legislature's shortest and busiest sessions ever with final action on dozens of measures coming on the last day. As work was completed on a 1981 "mini-budget” bill, a last-minute heating fuels tax bill and scores of other items, the legislature agreed to go home for slightly more than a month before returning in special session to consider responses to any measures vetoed or returned with objections by Gov. John N. Dalton. The special session, due to reconvene March 30, will also take up emergency legislation authorizing the state to build a coal loading facility in the Tidewater city of Portsmouth. election of judges ana. probably most importantly. reapportionment of the state's political districts. Major accomplishments of the regular session include the $277 million addition to the state's $11.7 billion budget, drawn up in 1980 for a two-year budgeting cycle. Large chunks of money went to increasing state employees’ pay raises next year from 4.5 percent to 9 percent, while basic school aid to localities was increased from Gov. Dalton's suggested $1,099 per pupil to $1,185, taking some tax burden for education off hard-pressed local governments. Among items of local interest, airport promotion funding, almost all of it for Dulles International Airport, received $100,000 in the approved budget, down from the original request for more than $300,000. George Mason University received money to complete its circumferential road and to extend water and sewer lines to the portion of the campus still undeveloped. Brucellosis Indemnities Efforts to combat brucellosis, a disease that causes infertility in cattle, will get a boost from $75,000 for indemnities to farmers who lose cattle to the disease and $200,000 for a vaccination program. Also approved among the 1,600 pieces considered in the frenzied 38-day session were stricter controls over precious metals dealers, bills aimed at the preservation of agricultural and forestal land, revision of the state's rape laws and a tough antidrug paraphenalia law. Defeated were attempts to bring initiative and referendum into the state's constitution, to raise the maximum annual interest rate on revolving credit plans from 18 to 24 percent, to place restrictions on the sale of handguns and to institute "meet and confer" procedures for local governments and public employees, particularly teachers. The heavy workload, which at times pushed the legislators into marathon sessions, including one that lasted until 1:10 a.m.. helped to defeat some measures which couldn't be studied in sufficient detail, according to some legislators. Too Much Work "We try to cram too much in a too short period of time." complained Del. Vincent F. Callahan (RFairfax).

Maurice 0*Bannon 967-6713 Eddie Wayland Bud Carrier 987-8153 635-5691 made in this session to limit the kinds of legislation that can be introduced during the legislature’s “short” sessions, which take place on oddnumbered years for 30 days with the option to add up to 30 more. The fast pace of the session helped to spell doom for a number of controversial measures among them a bill Callahan and many other legislators favored revamping the state's income tax structure. The bill, sponsored by Del. Johnny Joannou (DPortsmouth). would have given every taxpayer a standard $4,500 personal exemption and taxed all income at a 4.75 percent rate. It passed the House before dying in the conservative Senate, where one of the most frequent arguments against it was the farreaching impact of a bill that had to be so hurriedly handled. The Joannou bill was net alone, however. The Senate also killed every other tax relief measure sent to it by the House, which had voted for a sales tax break on food and twice for a repeal of sales tax on non-prescription drugs. The second House vote on the tax on drugs came on an amendment to a fairly routine airline fuels tax bill sent over from the Senate. However, when the amended bill came back to the Senate, the bill was allowed to die from inaction. Del. David G. Brickley (DPrince William), who proposed the amendment, blamed Sen. Edward E. Willey ( D-Richmond). powerful chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, for pulling the strings in the Senate that prevented the amended bill from passing. "The senior senator from Richmond would not agree on a committee of conference (used to iron out differences between the two houses). It’s a cheap shot." Brickley said. Tax Bilb Squelched Brickley was one of 16 signers in the House of an alternative budget bill drafted in protest of the efforts taken by the House and Senate leadership to squelch their tax bills. They backed down, however, after Del. Richard M. Bagley. chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, met with the objectors to hear their complaints in the final hours before adjournment. The protesters were also at a disadvantage because a Senate bill advancing the effective date of the repeal of sales tax on home heating fuels had already slipped through their fingers without more comprehensive tax measures included as amendments. The home heating fuels repeal was passed last year, but with this year’s revision it will take effect on Oct. 1 instead of July I. 1982, providing $7.6> million in tax relief. Though no other direct forms of tax relief passed, the money spent by the state, especially for education, should make it easier for local governments to hold down taxes, said Del. Dorothy S. McDiarmid (DFairfax). Pressing for tax relief bills is eiection-year ••grandstanding." said McDiarmid. a member of the Appropriations Committee. "We're sending a lot more money back to the localities in basic school aid." she said of the budget bill. “That's a tax relief bill, too."
