RICHMOND 1.9, VA. 23219 0 SAMPLE r Woodwards Home Burns The home of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Woodward near Ben Venue was destroyed by fire Monday and all of their furniture, clothing, linens and a large assortment of priceless antiques were lost. High winds fanned the flames making it impossible to save any of the furnishings and very difficult for firemen to control the blaze. The house contained a large collection of antiques collected over the years. "You just can’t believe what it is like to lose everything, not to even have a bed to lie down in,” said Mrs. Woodward, who added that they would take any and everything offered them. They have only the clothes which they wore. Mrs. Woodward wears a size 12 dress and her husband wears a size 17 shirt and 48 trousers. “We will probably rebuild, as soon as we can arrange it," said Mr. Woodward. "Right now we’ve got to get over the shock and get reestablished.” Small items Tor the Woodwards may be brought to the Rappahannock News office in Washington. If you have large items to donate, call first at 675-3349. I _ Rappahannock New* Photo/S. Latham DESTROYED BY FIRE.MONDAY—The home of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Woodward on Route 729 near Ben Venue was razed by fire totally demolishing all of their household possessions, clothing and even Mrs. Woodward s pocketbook. The Woodwards had spent almost fifty years collecting antiques and the priceless collection was reduced to a pile of ashes. High winds Monday fanned the flames which consumed the 25year old frame dwelling which had in recent years had aluminum siding applied. Malfunction electrical system was presumed to be the cause of the fire. J No Answer Yet To Dispatch Question By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON RappahaMMrli !W Staff Wrllrr According to a report given to the Rappahannock supervisors at their April 6 meeting by Flint Hill fire chief Frankie Huff, the Culpeper fire department is willing to listen to alternatives to dropping the free dispatch service provided four Rappahannock fire and rescue units “but their position is still that they wish us to get off.” Huff said the only action taken at a recent meeting between emergency services personnel and local government representatives from the two counties was to set a 120 day deadline for development of proposals for upgrading Culpeper’s dispatch service. He emphasized that no assurance was given as to whether Culpeper firemen would go along with any alternatives, only that they’d listen. Gary Rosson, head of emergency services for the planning district, told the supervisors that Culpeper’s fire department owns the low band radio equipment housed in the Culpeper sheriffs office. “Because they RLEP Spring Bam Dance All is ready for the RLEP Spring Barn Dance. The committee, headed by Mitzie Young will be decorating the auditorium at Wakefield School this Friday in preparation for the big event. Square dancers, The Ralph Case dancers, will provide the music, calls, and lots of help. Local talent in the form of the Sperryville Spuds will play at intermission. In addition, the committee has been hard at work getting local merchants to donate door prizes. Items that will be given out have come from B and B Garage, House of Dried Flowers, Country Manor Gifts, Parkway Gifts, Teepee Restaurant, Sperryville Emporium, Sperryville Exxon, Faith Mountain Herbs, and Nature’s Foods. Tickets for the dance can be obtained at Peggy Clarks’ Rappahannock Realty in Flint Hill; Eileen Day Realty in Washington; Roger Batchelder, Washington; Sperryville Realty in Sperryville and at Country Store Properties in Washington. Tickets are $5 single or $8 a couple. All proceeds will go to the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection. own it, they essentially control it,” he said. According to Rosson, the Culpeper FD feels that the overload of the dispatch service is causing inefficiency, a position with which the emergency services planner said he agreed. As a result of the overload, Rappahannock has been asked to start its own dispatch service by July 1, a project that will require 4.5 dispatch positions and cost over $60,000 in equipment and salaries. Overloaded And Overcrowded Rosson told the supervisors that the dispatch center handles approximately 2,590 fire and rescue calls per year for ten companies as well as dispatch service to the Culpeper and Rappahannock sheriff s departments. The center serves a population of 27,000, he added. The dispatcher must operate a teletype as well as answering six wall telephones and two desk phones, according to Rosson. He showed slides of the crowded office, so crammed with what he described as "somewhat outdated equipment” that there’s “no room for organization.” Supervisor chairman E. P. Luke recalled that, originally, it appeared that dispatch service to the Rappahannock sheriff s department would be dropped along with service to fire and rescue units in Amissville, Flint Hill, Washington and Castleton but as yet, no word on a cutoff has been received from Culpeper’s sheriff Robert Peters. Luke acknowledged that the state compensation board is technically liable to pay dispatchers for the sheriffs department. The compensation board, however, has no responsibility for salaries of fire and rescue dispatchers, he said. He added that the board did indicate that it would pick up Rappahannock’s share of any contractual arrangement for shared dispatch service for police and fire and rescue worked out with Culpeper. Luke maintained that a cooperative agreement which includes new equipment and better training could improve dispatching for both Rappahannock and Culpeper. No Extension Huff told the supervisors that Rappahannock’s fire and rescue association had asked for an extension of the July 1 deadline to January 1, 1982, detailing the efforts made by Rappahannock to solve the dispatch problem. But, he said, what Culpeper came back with was 120 days for developing alternatives, action that will extend the old deadline only to the end of July. "Now we must work with the supervisors to see what you’re willing to do,” Huff continued. He reported that the county’s fire and rescue association had unanimously passed a resolution “to pursue every effort possible to maintain a dispatch center of our own.” A county dispatch center will cost at least $66,000 and that doesn’t include the land, according to Luke. “The whole chain of emergency services is only as strong as its weakest link,” Rosson responded, maintaining that the current shared arrangement between Culpeper and Rappahannock has “several weak links.” Should fires occur simultaneously in Rappahannock and Culpeper with police calls at the same time, radio transmissions wout'j be too much to keep up with, he said. Supervisor H. B. Wood proposed finding a dispatcher with the training to handle the volume in calls and instituting radio discipline to cut down on unnecessary talking over the wires. Luke added that ticklish communications between planes in a bomber squadron is handled without any problem. "Right. But you pay those people. You don’t pay volunteers,” Rosson countered. “We’re not really in a position to criticize how Culpeper runs their dispatch service,” said Huff. “We ought to be quiet and hope they continue to handle our calls,” he said, adding that the free service could be discontinued a lot sooner than the July 1 deadline. In response to Luke’s assertion that a fire company was recently called three times with no answer. Huff acknowledged difficulties in finding volunteers to serve in rescue and fire departments. “That’s something else that’s not talked about in Rappahannock County,” the supervisor chairman agreed, noting that fire and rescue units are supported by community donations, not tax dollars. To answer a call, he pointed out, fire and rescue personnel must leave their jobs, inconvencing both themselves and their employers. Sheriff W. A. Buntin maintained that the solution to the dispatch question is for Rappahannock to contribute to upgrading Culpeper’s center as part of a contractual arrangement, even if it means funding two additional dispatch positions. - ~ Short Term Answer Any cooperative solution will be ‘‘short term,” countered fireman Carl James. He warned that Rappahannock may be wasting money to contribute SI 5,000 or $20,000 to Culpeper’s dispatch center “when what they really want is to get Rappahannock County out.” Rappahannock and Culpeper counties are going to grow, David Konick interjected. Upgrading Culpeper’s dispatch center “is only putting off the inevitable. In the long run, they're going to throw us out anyway.” In addition, he said, a local dispatch service manned by local people familiar with Rappahannock will provide better service. Luke informed the rest of the board that state law gives the supervisors authority to establish fire and rescue zones and to levy special taxes reserved solely for support of emergency services. The news brought no response from the other board members. “There’s no way the six or seven (fire and rescue) departments we have now are going to survive (without local government support),” maintained Amissville fire chief Jack Atkins. He pointed to the $5,500 insurance bill Amissville just received. “We’re going to be lucky if we survive 12 months from now,” he said, suggesting that government funds go towards support of the companies themselves rather ' than to improve dispatching services. Huff acknowledged that the shared service with Culpeper will give that county’s fire and rescue units and sheriffs department priority over Rappahannock. “Why should it always be the people of Rappahannock who have to sacrifice.” he asked. Frank Zinn, co-chairman with Rosson of a special committee formed to study the dispatch question, read portions of the committee’s report to the Rappahannock supervisors. The report notes indiscriminant radio usage by volunteer personnel, lack of space in the dispatch center, outdated equipment and insufficient training of dispatchers. It calls for either relocation of the center or construction of a sound-proof work area, assistance from local government in both training dispatch personnel and provision of geographic aides and replacement of the radio owned by the Culpeper Fire Department with a county-owned console as short range objectives. For long range solutions, the report suggests implementation of a “911” emergency number for the area as well as combined dispatch services. 20 Percent From Rapp Asked for the volume of (Continued on Page 3) Beard Lost To Redistricting RICHMOND — Rappahannock will lose the services of Del. George P. Beard Jr. (RCulpeper) under a redistricting plan approved last week by the House Privileges and Elections Committee. By an 18-1 vote, the committee adopted a plan that switches Beard into a single-member district of Culpeper and Fauquier counties, leaving Rappahannock to go into a new single-member district with Garke, Page and Warren counties. Del. Raymond R. (Andy) Guest (R-Warren), who now represents Garke, Fauquier, Frederick and Warren counties and the city of Winchester in the House, would move over to represent Rappahannock if re-elected in House elections this fall. On the Senate side. Sen. Nathan H. Miller seems likely to retain the county in his district, although the Senate’s redistricting plans have yet to take definite shape. Miller is currently embroiled in a dispute with Sen. Thomas J. Michie (DCharlottesville) over the configuration of their districts in Culpeper, Greene, Madison and Rockingham counties, but all versions of the Senate plan thus far leave Rappahannock in Miller’s district and in the 7th Congressional District of Rep. Kenneth Robinson (RWinchester) as well. Land Use Taxation Gets Strong Support By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Nno Staff VI ritcr Supporters of land use taxation at Monday’s meeting of the board of supervisors maintained that preferential tax treatment for farmers will mean the difference between the survival of Rappahannock County as an agriculturally oriented community and its transformation into a suburb of Warrenton and Fairfax. On the other side of the question, opponents predicted that adoption of land use may send tax bills for house and lot owners and small farmers skyrocketing from $200 to $2,000. Monday’s discussion came as the result of a recommendation from the county planning commission that use value taxation be adopted for agricultural, forestal, horticultural and open Space land. As explained by commonwealth attorney Douglas Baumgardner, use value taxation involves the “preferential assessment of real estate.” With adoption of a use value ordinance, qualifying property will be assessed on its worth for agricultural production rather than on fair market value. according to Baumgardner. The State Land Evaluation Advisory Committee determines a range of suggested use values for each soil type derived from average farm income. The values are suggested only. Responsibility for determining the actual use values that are applicable in any county, city or town rests with the local assessing officer. Taxes Deferred For land that qualifies, the difference between use value assessment and fair market value is deferred. This deferred tax becomes due if all or part of a tract of land in a qualifying use is changed to a non-qualifying use or when the acreage of a qualifying tract is changed. The roll-back tax, plus ten per cent interest, applies in the tax year in which the change in use occurs and for the five tax-years immediately preceding. A locality may elect to allow land use for all or any combination of four categories—agricultural, forestal, horticultural and open space. For agricultural and horticultural land, the tract must be at least five acres that have been devoted for at least five consecutive previous years to bona fide agricultural or horticultural use. The land must be in a planned program of soil management and conservation practices. Field crop production must be primarily for commercial uses with crop yields averaging at least */j the county average during the three years previous. Land used primarily for commercial livestock production must have had a minimum of 12 animal-unit months of commercial livestock or poultry per five acres of open land in the previous year. Horticultural land may be used for production of nursery, greenhouse, cutflower or plant material or for orchard, vineyard and small fruit production. To qualify for forest use, the tract must be a minimum of 20 acres which has on it well distributed, commercially valuable trees ol any size sufficient to compose at least 40 per cent stocking of normal forest trees or formerly having such tree cover and not currently developed for non-forest use. Standards for open space require a minimum of five acres in a use consistent with the land use plan of the locality. The land must be deliberately provided and maintained for park or recreational type lands, golf club, forest preserve, bird sanctuary or similar use. Flood plains preserved for passage or containment of flood waters and land under scenic or historic easement also qualify. Not For Speculators According' to supervisor chairman E. P. Luke, the Virginia General Assembly passed enabling legislation for land use taxation in 1973 to provide a tool to protect farming and agriculture in the state, “not to provide a loophole for land speculators...It’s for bona fide farmers.” With land use. “will the taxes be less than what they’re paying now on farms?” asked Douglas Fairfax. “Yes and no,” replied Luke. “It’s true this type of ordinance shifts the tax burden from land to houses but I’ve had people tell me that they wouldn’t be better off...In simple terms, it’s a transfer tax. The tax is transferred from the land to houses," Luke said. With land use. the farmer will still carry a fair market value assessment on his house and lot. To offset the amount of revenue lost in deferred land use taxes, the county’s tax rate will logically have to increase. It would depend on the number of acres a farmer owns plus the value of his house and lot as to whether his total tax bill will be less under land use,' according to Luke. Asked for the range of assessments on property qualifying for land use, Luke said values will probably run from $600 an acre for the best agricultural land to $25 an acre for flood plain. Adoption of land use “will destroy our tax base." he predicted. “The lack must be picked up someplace...on houses in this county."

Consideration Of Land Use Stirs Opposing Sides (Continued from Page 1) supervisors to investigate carefully before deciding that Rappahannock will be better off with land use. “As long as I can remember, Rappahannock County has had land use taxation. Different people have paid different amounts in taxes on generally the same land.” he said. With the county’s new 100 per cent fair market value assessment. Johnson predicted that the tax rate will be somewhere around 20 cents per $100. “I can’t see how that’s going to hurt anyone!" If the supervisors adopt the planning commission's recommendation to allow land use for all four categories (agricultural, horticultural, forestal and open space), ‘‘how many acres and how many millions of dollars will it take out of the tax source?” Johnson asked. With land use, the tax rate could go up to $3 per $100, he predicted. “We’re talking about an average person with a house and lot paying a $2,000 tax bill instead of $200.” he said, adding that smaller farmers would also end up paying higher taxes with bills of $2,000 to $3,000 rather than $200. Houses Cost ‘‘For a long time, the county and the state of Virginia has seen the need to preserve agricultural land and open space,” said Newbill Miller, Rappahannock farmer and real estate agent who serves on the planning commission, school board and as mayor of Washington. He noted that Warren, Fauquier. Madison and Page have all adopted land use and have had less than 15 per cent of the property in each county qualify for preferential tax treatment. ‘‘The cost of running county government is not in land. It’s in houses. If the house is the cause of the expense, it should bear its proportionate share,” Miller maintained. The majority of Rappahannock's residents want to protect the beauty of the county and its interrelated agricultural industry, according to the planning commissioner. “So we must have a policy of local Officers Elected The members of the Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad held their monthly meeting Monday.

NOTICE Pursuant to Section 15.1-431 of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, and Article 17-3 of the Rappahannock County Zoning Ordinance, 1973, notice is hereby given that the Planning Commission of Rappahannock County will hold a public hearing as to an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance of Rappahannock County at its regular meeting on 15 April, 1981 at 7:30 p.m. in the Courthouse, Washington, Virginia, which amendment provides that Article 2-1-2 of the Rappahannock County Zoning Ordinance be amended to add “automotive garages, no more than five (5) used vehicles being for sale at any time," as a use permitted by special exception in an Agricultural District (A-1). The aforesaid amendment is available for public examination at the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Rappahannock County, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. All persons affected by or interested in the aforesaid amendment may appear at this hearing to present their views. PLANNING COMMISSION OF RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY BY: H.S. BARKSDALE, CHAIRMAN government that discourages development,” he added, since development — particularly small lot— increases the demand for county services which in turn drives taxes up, and in a continuous cycle, adds to the farmer’s financial burden and pressures to sell out to developers. He acknowledged that the immediate effect of adopting land use will be to increase taxes on houses and lots. “But the long term benefits to the small lot owner will be much greater if that land isn’t subdivided,” he argued, adding that subdivision and zoning regulations along with tax policy are the only tools local government can use to combat unwanted development. Farmers Already Helped Col. Luke countered that the supervisors have already afforded farmers a tax break by removing this year the levies on farm machinery and livestock, a total of S5.5 million which must be made up in property taxes. “We may not be taxing anybody out of their houses but we’re moving in that direction,” he warned. With real estate Rappahannock’s only tax base, “there is going to come the day when somebody at the lower end of the economic scale is not going to be able to pay their taxes," Luke predicted. In addition to the elimination of levies on farm machinery and livestock, the supervisors also removed taxes on household belongings and merchants capital for a total of S10 million that must be shifted to real estate, he continued. If land use taxation is adopted as well, “we might want to put some of that back or we might not want to allow all fouf categories of land use,” Luke said. The supervisor chairman called for more discussion before a decision is made to adopt use value taxation because "either way we go, it’s going to be an important step for this county.” Sharon Kilpatrick charged that Luke was not being very fair in his remarks. “You’re making it as confusing as possible and you’re doing most of the talking,” she said. ‘‘The state of Virginia allows only two ways to preserve agricultural land and this is one of them," Kilpatrick said. She agreed that. in essence Rappahannock had land use taxation before the recent 100 per cent fair market value assessment with appraisals formerly set much higher on houses than on land. “Now with fair market value, the tax burden has been shifted back to the land. All that land use taxation will do is move it back.off the land for those who qualify," she said. Equalizing Assessment Supervisor H. B. Wood supported Kilpatrick's psotion. noting that appraiser Jerry Hall had told him the same thing—that adoption of land use will do nothing more than return the county to the same tax situation that existed before the reassessment. Of the 266 farmers in Rappahannock listed in the census of agriculture released in June, 1980, 135 make a living in something else, Luke pointed out. He maintained that elimination of taxes on farm machinery and livestock for these 266 farmers, nine per cent of the county’s taxpayers, will cause tax bills of Rappahannock’s 2,764 non-farming taxpayers to increase $80 on the average. According to the supervisor chairman, 50 per cent of the county’s property owners will be eligible for land use if a local ordinance is adopted. The tax shift that will result from adoption of land use is impossible to estimate, he said, because no one can predict how many of those eligible will actually apply. Fred Schaefer asked how deferred, taxes under use value will affect the house and lot owner’s annual tax bill and requested examples of before and after use value tax bills from other counties. Col. James White recommended that the supervisors reconsider their earlier decision to drop taxes on farm machinery, livestock and household goods and evaluate the county’s tax picture as a total package with land use. Why Tax Machinery? Supervisor Dick Latham asked for the rational in levying taxes on farm machinery in the first place when an individual can have $50,000 in bonds in a safe deposit box and not pay any local taxes on those assets. White responded that federal taxes are paid on the bonds. farmers pay that same tax on their farm machinery, Latham countered. Woodville farmer H. L. Man waring also objected to White’s proposal. He advocated the continued elimination of levies on farm machinery and livestock as well as adoption of use value, describing it as a tool to stem the tide of disappearing agricultural land. If taxes get too high, he warned, farmers will either sell their land for development or let it grow up in weeds, spurring the county's drift towards becoming a bedroom community for its more urbanized neighbors. "Since enabling legislation for land use was passed in 1973. Virginia has lost 100,000 acres of farm land per year," Luke countered. "I haven’t talked to anyone who thinks land use taxation has done what it was intended to do," he added. Wood repeated that the county’s assessor had told him the 100 per cent assessment will place the local tax burden squarely on land. He reported that Hall Engaged The engagement of Joyce Jenkins of Culpeper to Michael Wharton, also of Culpeper has been announced. Ms. Jenkins is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Jenkins of Woodville. Mr. Wharton is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Otis Wharton of Culpeper. An October wedding is planned. NOTICE Pursuant to Section 15.1-431 of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, and Article 17-3 of the Rappahannock County Zoning Ordinance, 1973, notice is hereby given that the Planning Commission of Rappahannock County, Virginia, will consider the application of Rappski Limited Partnership, Eric E. Adamson, General Partner, to rezone that certain tract or parcel of land containing 300 acres, more or less, LESS AND EXCEPT that portion to remain commercial, (B-2), lying and being situate in the Hampton Magisterial District of Rappahannock County, Virginia, of which Rappski Limited Partnership is owner of record from the Commercial (B-2) District to the Residential Subdivision (RS-1) District, on 15 April, 1981 at 7:30 p.m. in the Courthouse, Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia. Said land lies in Harris Hollow in Hampton Magisterial District, Rappahannock County, , Virginia. The aforesaid amendment and application are available for public examination at the office of the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County, Virginia between the hours of 8:30 a m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. All persons affected by or interested in said application may appear at this hearing to present their views. PLANNING COMMISSION OF RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY BY: H.S. BARKSDALE, CHAIRMAN said he d doubled appraisals on houses but increased values on land by five times, on an average. “The problem is we’ve already taken off $5 million from the same people that land use will help,” Luke interjected. Citing the gap between parity and market prices for beef, wheat, cotton and milk that already has farmers struggling to survive, Irvin Kilby maintained that agriculture is important to Rappahannock as both an economic base and a beautifying asset. With action on land use, he told the supervisors, “you have to make the decision on what kind of county you want.” Development Equals High Taxes Taxes on a house and one acre lot in Fairfax County went from $358 to approximately $3,000 in ten years, according to Bob Dennis. He attributed the steep rise primarily to an increased demand for services, created by the development of farms into subdivisions. Higher assessments under Baseball Registration Registration for Amissville’s midget baseball team for youngsters ages 1012 will be held Saturday, April II. from II a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Amissville baseball field. For further information, contact coaches Clarence Dodson at 937-5218 or Ronald Dodson at 937-4606. the new 1UU per cem iair market value appraisal will add to the financial burden on Rappahannock farmers, Dennis said, reporting that an individual from New York has just purchased 55 acres with no house and a decrepit barn on Route 637 for $3,000 an acre. “That’s going to be reflected in assessments,” he maintained. Farmer and airline pilot Bob Anderson told the supervisors that before use value was adopted in Prince William, dairy farmers there were forced to sell 20 or 25 acres every year just to pay their tax bills. The houses on those acres could be expected to produce six or eight kids with an increased demand for services and revenue demand that would far outweigh the revenue lost through deferred land use taxes, according to Anderson. Lot Owners Benefit Too Agriculture is more valuable to the small land owner in Rappahannock because it adds to the beauty of the county, thereby increasing the worth of house and lot.

RAPPAHANNOCK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERS appearing in the special class at the beauty pageant Friday night included Lilo Foster, Robin Dexter, Becky Hawkins, Jerry Hall and LyAne Baines. Aren’t they beauties? (Continued from Page 1) calls from Rappahannock, Rosson said that 20.9 percent of fire and rescue dispatching went to Rappahannock. Then the county should pay 20 percent of the costs, suggested Peter Luke. “There’s more to consider,” Rosson countered. It's more difficult to get emergency services personnel out in Rappahannock, therefore the amount of time spent by the dispatcher is greater. Rappahannock may account for only 20 percent of the calls but as much as 30 percent of the dispatcher’s time, he said. Supervisor Hubert Gilkey, who is also a member of the Chester Gap fire and rescue unit, said he would like to see the county have its own dispatch system. He said he would support a joint arrangement only if the agreement was in writing. “1 don't want to see us pay S20.000 a year and then in Consideration Of Land Use Stirs Opposing Sides Continued from rage 2) mediate effect of land use adoption will be a short term tax increase. “But ten years from now. the house and lot owners will benefit as much Building? •Paint •Lumber , •Millwork •Hardware Complete One-Step BUILDING SUPPLY Warrenton Building Material Co., Inc. on the By-Pass Warrenton 3471400 or more trom land use taxation than the farmer,” he maintained.

Farmers don’t want to shift the tax burden to anyone else, he said. They just want the equalization they had prior to the reassessment. “The power to tax is the power to destroy," Fletcher continued, maintaining that subdivision of farms enhances growth, attracts Calculators VX 1184 SHARP display & printing calculators $119.00 to $129.95 Loaded with features to lighten your calculating load Culpeper Book Store & Modern Office Supply Main St. Culpeper iweigns /ids. boz.)

He noted that farmers are facing three years of possible drought, according to long range weather predictions. With higher assessments, if the supervisors refuse to adopt land use, “they might as well say they want Rappahannock County to be a metropolitan area or a suburb of Warrenton and Fairfax ... a place where people don’t know or care about their neighbors,” Fletcher said. He suggested that the supervisors at least try land use for a couple of years. “If it’s too big a burden, you can always take it out,” he said. As it is now, farmers want to do something to restrict their land but with changes in the scenic easement program recently instituted by the IRS and the complicated, time consuming procedure for approval of an agricultural Rappahannock News Photo/T.

If farmers don’t get some relief, taxes are going to go up anyway as farms are sold off to developers, according to Jack Atkins. The decision before the supervisors, he said, is whether taxes should go up a little now (with adoption of land use) or a lot later as agricultural land is converted to more intensive uses. At the close of discussion, the supervisors announced that they will decide on specifics of a land use ordinance to advertise for public hearing at a special session on April 20. At the request of supervisor Hubert Gilkey, the hearing will be held at night, probably at the elementary school, on May 7. Birth Announced Mr. and Mrs. Stephen W.

Krebser Appointed In other action, Gilkey nominated Dr. Werner Krebser as planning commission member from Wakefield District to replace Herbert Barksdale whose term has expired. The appointment was approved unanimously with supervisors Dick Latham and H. B. Wood abstaining. As reason for his failure to vote, Latham said Krebser has “extensive real estate holdings in the county,” the same grounds Latham cited in abstaining from another earlier vote on Newbill Miller’s nomination to the commission. Wood gave no reasons. Luke reported that Lester Deal, owner of a gift shop in Sperryville, has again requested the supervisors to enact a loitering ordinance. The chairman recalled that the supervisors tabled action on a proposed loitering ordinance last year on the grounds that it would be difficult to enforce. Part of the problem, he said, lies in differentiating between “whittlers” who loiter A Son Mr. and Mrs. William W.

Asked for his opinion. Sheriff W. A. Buntin said a loitering ordinance “might help a little...but we’d have to be careful in enforcing it." He acknowledged that Deal has had difficulties recently with loiterers breaking windows and added that the Sperryville shop owner seems Jo have more problems with loiterers than other businesses in the community. Noting that he had been contacted by Deal, supervisor Clarence Baldwin said he’d asked why Deal didn’t appear before the board himself with a request for a loitering ordinance. “He didn’t come last time we considered this either." Adoption of a loitering ordinance will raise questions of discrimination if one person is allowed to hang around longer than another, Baldwin said. “That might be a lot bigger problem," he added. In other states loitering ordinances have been-at tacked and struck down on constitutional grounds, reported commonwealth attorney Douglas Baumgardner. He told the board that Culpeper has an ordinance similar to what wras proposed last year for Rappahannock but has elected not to enforce its antiloitering laws due to reservations as to their legality. Baumgardner added that it will be impossible to draft a loitering ordinance that’s not vague because of difficulties in defining the term. Sheriff Buntin added that the county's loitering problem involves a very small number of people—six or seven in Sperrvville and five or six in Flint Hill. The consensus of the board was to leave the ordinancetabled. After a half hour executive session on personnel, the board returned to open meeting. The only action taken, according to Luke, was approval of a $2,100 expense for a copier for the commissioner of revenue's office. REALTY WORLD. m Estate $U—n dl. < KA1TOI ■real estate-a good investment! All to often, ownership of a single family house is overlooked as a good financial investment but rather as a necessity. However, published data clearly indicates that real estate values are increasing at twice the rate of common stocks. From 1960 to 1976 the Dow Jones average went up 45 percent, while the average price of a single home increased 100 percent nationally during the same time period. For every investor who makes a killing in the stock market, you’ll find another who has been hurt badly. This rarely happens in real estate. It's a stable and safe investment which doesn’t fluctuate from day to day which is good for ulcerprone investors. Then there’s what we call leverage. Real estate can be purchased by using 1020 percent down, whereas other investments require 50-100 percent cash. The outlQok is still rosy. Increasing land value, rising labor and material costs and the national housing shortage will have a continued upward affect on single home prices.

Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, APRIL 9,1981 This was The News... in Bygone Rappahannock Times. 30 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS IN THE APRIL 13, 1950 edition of the Rappahannock News, the Front Page described springtime activities of many county citizens. The Garden Club held a plant sale of flowering perennials, annuals and shrubs donated by club members. However, the article noted: “there will be 100 or more giant blooming commercial pansies, to be sold by the club on a percentage basis.” Mrs. Earl Edmonds of Huntly was the winner of third place in the “Sunshine Cake” contest held in Front Royal. The cake contest was one of the events of Bing Crosby day there. “Mrs. Edmonds reviewed a silver cake tray as her prize on a cake baked from a recipe she found in McCall’s magazine, named “Sweet Story Cake. ” One of the lead stories had to do with the garden club tour: “Among the homes to be visited are “Meadowbrook Hall,” home of Mrs. W. P. Slaughter, “Windsor Lodge,” home of Mrs. Alexander Gorden near Huntly, and various homes in Front Royal. For several years, Helen Nethers was gossip editor of the Little Washington Post, a school publication that was printed within the Rappahannock News. Perhaps some long-ago students of Washington High School will recognize themselves in her gossip: “Evelyn Mills is sure primping a lot lately. Wonder why? Where was Eloise last Saturday night, around 7:30? Turtle Utz made some interesting additions to the popularity contest. Jeremiah has a GI haircut—Hubba Hubba.” George L.

Secondary Road Funds 40 % Below Last Year By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Ka|>|Mhann«x-k Krm Suff I rilrr Faced with a 40 percent reduction this year in funds for maintenance and improvements, resident highway engineer Don Askew could . breathe a si|g> of feli^aner^ Monday's annual secondary hearing held jointly wftfrNhfc Rappahannock supervisors. For a change, the highway department got more praise than complaints with only a handful of local residents asking for projects that aren’t already included in the county’s six year road plan. In 1981-82, Rappahannock can expect to receive $207,000 in secondary road funds from the state, a decrease of $138,062 from the 1980-81 allocation. In addition to this loss. Askew pointed out. the situation is further complicated by the adoption in 1979-80 of a six year plan based on a projected $432,615 in secondary road revenues. It wasn't until nine months into that year after projects had already been set up. Askew said that the state slashed Rappahannock's allocation to $355,110. Despite this earlier shortfall, all but two goals were accomplished for 198081, the first year of the six year plan, according to the resident engineer. Of the planned projects, preliminary work only was completed on Route 621, the road leading to Peyton Farms, with the remainder scheduled to be done this fiscal year. Improvementss to Route 621 west of Woodville have also been delayed due to difficulties with acquisition of right-of-way. Askew said. Funding Bombshell The problem with meeting this year's schedule for improvement and maintenance projects is money. "Two weeks ago, a bombshell HI) my desk that said we eould eapeet a 4b pereent reduetltm in secondary road tunds/' the resident ehgtneer said. the anttetpated revenue is slightly above Happahannoeh's IW2 albeation hut today's dollars will build only two-thirds or the road that eould he hum with the Same amount mo« years agm he added. Without question* our Rnanees are simply a disaster as hir as road improvements m Kappahannoek County...n win not allow us to aceompliih what we envisioned In the sia year plan," Askew said. Leading oft « handful or speakers canon hmnsoH had nothing but praise (or the highway department, "fcappnhartttock County tan tee! very tortunte in having the highway erew that we have here...I don’t see how they've done the job that they have with the financial situation.” he said, describing the department's accomplishments as “beyond . agy expectation." . Qp^benilf; ofc Susan ■ !%™fefty. Sperryville attorney ■Bill Fletcher requested that the half mile section of private road servicing five or six houses where Brinkley lives be accepted into the state system. If right-of-way can be secured, he said, the stretch will only need to be scraped a couple of times a year in order to meet minimal secondary road standards. At chairman E. P. Luke’s suggestion. Askew agreed to schedule a meeting with the supervisors to view the road and consider accepting it into the secondary system. Mr. and Mrs. Donald Fridenstine of Castleton asked for improvements to Route 615. He said the hill by Turkey Run is as bumpy as ^ washboard; that floods cover the road with two feet of water; that sight distance is poor, particularly since there's room for only one car on the road. Noting that the road serves 25 people on its five mile stretch. Fridenstine requested as a minimum that it be scraped four times a year instead of two and that a larger drain pipe be installed where the stream crosses to reduce flooding. Mrs. Fridenstine added that she hoped it doesn't take an accident and a law suit before something is done. Noting that major improvements to Route 615 aren't included on the county's six year plan. Askew volunteered to meet with landowners on the road to discuss maintenance work. H. L. Manwaring asked what plans the highway department has for improvements to Route 621 east of1 Woodvllle back to Five ror*s. The road was graded froth Flvfe Tdt-ks td ttudacllrs Mill kbveril yeirfc dgd blit the highway department rieVbtcarried through with Its bfigindi phjjfett to hardtop thte Sbttldh, according to Askew.

Plan Review In Fall Asked by Norma Hensley if the highway department intends to hard surface five miles of Route 649 between Routes 618 and 615. Askew replied that the project is not ^included in Rappahannock's six year secondary road plan. He added that the plan is to be reviewed at a - public hearing this fall to give citizens an opportunity to add or delete projects and reevaluate priorities. Acknowledging that the highway department is doing “a real good job under real difficult circumstances." Sam Snead asked for additional grading of Route 614 between Route 622 and Shenandoah National Park. Major improvements to Route 614 are included in the six year road plan for 198283. provided funds and rightof-way are available. Askew replied. As for grading, he explained lack of rainfall has interfered with this routine maintenance project. . It is necessary to have moisture in order to do a good job on grading and scraping, he said. In addition. Askew said, chemicals are put down in front of houses on unpaved roads to control dust. “Then we can’t scrape or we’ll mess up the chemicals...It’s a vicious cycle.” With no additional comments, chairman Luke closed the road hearing. Remarking on the small number of complaints. Askew noted that improved road condition is about the only positive result of Virginia’s continuing drought. “We probably had our easiest winter ever.” he said, explaining that with no snow, there was no moisture present to cause roads to freeze and break up. “It’s good we didn’t have a big. hard winter because we didn't have the f\inds (for traditional spring repairs)/' he eohclUded.

Panther Tales By ROBIN COOPER and RUSTY SETTLE On April 20 Rappahannock will have their first track meet ever to be held at the high school. Track Coaches, Michael Kimble and Ann Spieker both urge as many people as possible to come and see our Rappahannock Track Team in action against Page County. Refreshments will be sold at the meet and again everyone is welcome to come. In the sportight... One of the track members, Ernie Fletcher, is in our spotlight this week. Ernie is a cool-headed, pleasant young man with a mild manner. He’s a very talented basketball player who proves that you can be aggressive without losing your head. You will find that Ernie has devoted most of his time to basketball through the 8th, 9th. 10th and 12th grades and has received a certificate for each year. In eighth grade he was Most Valuable Player and in tenth grade he received the Captain's award. This year, his last at RCHS, he has decided to run track too. Ernie maintains a “C” average in school and says that gym was always his favorite class. He disliked biology because it took him two years to pass it. He has taken two years of electricity at Piedmont with hopes of getting a job in this area after school. Mr. Brian Patterson and Mr. Jim Logan are at the top of Ernie's list for having had the most influence on his life. Ernie would like to thank Mr. Patterson for helping him through hard times and he is grateful for Mr. Logan’s friendship and says that he is the best basketball coach he ever had. Mr. Logan has also contributed a lot to the development of Ernie’s basketball skills. Looking back Ernie says that his years at RCHS weren’t the worst but he finds that they could have been a lot better. Ernie has his memories of basketball to cling to and his friends. The Rappahannock Varsity Baseball team has a 1-3 record in games to date with a win on the home diamond against Randolph Macon Academy on March 15. The opener score was 2013. The Rapps were defeated March 31 by Manassas Park 12-5 on the Manassas diamond and on April 3 they bowed to Madison County High. Warren County were victors in the April 6 home game. Despite this record this team is trying. It is a very young team with two seniors aboard and every game is a new experience. Coach Edmonson told his players that he didn’t care what the score was or how many errors were made, that the important thing is to keep your head up and never give up trying.

OSUT is a 12-week period which combines basic combat training and advanced individual training. This in eludes weapons qualifications, squad tactics, patrolling, landmine warfare, field communications and combat operations. The training qualifies the soldier as a light-weapons infantryman and as an indirect fire crewman. Soldiers are taught to perform any of the duties in a rifle or mortar squad. Cubs Help Clean Up Cub Scouts in Pack 50 of Amissville contributed their time last Saturday morning for the annual clean-up day, working on Route 642 from Amissville to Viewtown.
