Town Moves Ahead On Plans For New Well By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock New* Staff Writer In a very short meeting April 8, the Washington Town Council agreed to continue plans to drill a new well at the site considered most likely to provide sufficient water by the state geologist in his study last winter. This site is located on part of the Updike farm adjoining the Rush River just outside town. Mayor Newbill Miller, who was authorized by the Council to negotiate for the purchase of the land, explained to the others present that under the terms he was arranging, the town would have no obligation to buy the land unless the well provided the water needed by the town. His reason for approaching the Council once more on the matter was that he wanted authorization to spend whatever was reasonable and necessary to purchase th« well site if it did indeed yield water. He said" that this amount would be more than the $5,000 previously authorized. “I need to know your feelings on this,” Miller said. "We could possibly get the third-rated site more cheaply, but the expense of reaching the town water lines would certainly make up the dif ference. The site rated third by the geological survey was on property outside of town belonging to Judge Rayner Snead. Council agreed unanimously to go ahead with the agreement to purchase the Updike land after the well was dug. “I "have this authority from a previous vote,” Miller said. “I just wanted to get a sense of what you thought was best here.” Miller said that besides the purchase of the land, the town would have the expense of fencing a 50’ x 50’ area and of constructing a well house on the property. (Continued on Pace 3) THE THIRD ANNUAL FODDERSTACK CLASSIC will be held Saturday beginning at 10 a.m. in Flint Hill and finishing in front of the courthouse in Washington. Last year’s race brought out 250 runners and walkers ranging in age from 3 to 67 years. The winning time was 35 minutes 8 seconds and the longest time was two hours. Karen Bear and Frances Foster, both of Washington, have been training for Saturday’s race and their best time was 77 minutes for the 6.2 miles. Registration Saturday will take place at Lakewood Stoves in Flint Hill and must be completed by 9 a.m. The entry fee is $6. Call 675-3621 for information. Aileen Plant Cuts Operations Rappahannock County’s largest single employer, the Aileen Plant at Flint Hill, has gone to a four-day work week as seasonal slow-downs forced the company to lay off employees and close its cutting room here. According to plant manager Wayne Walker, actions taken last week are the result of the clothing manufacturing plant’s annual switch from production of summer to fall fashions. “We do more summer business than fall. We get the same amount dollar wise but piece-wise, we produce fewer units for the fall season,” he explained. “We’re in a normal slack period for this time of year.” Of the plant’s 350 employees, 34 have been laid off with the closing of the cutting room. Until the cutting room reopens this fall, sometime in October or November, cutting for the Flint Hill operation will be done in Woodstock, according to Walker. The manager said he also anticipates having to lay off some sewing machine operators for a week to a month until business picks up this summer, probably by June. Walker explained that the four-day work week was instituted last Friday as a means of keeping on as many employees as possible until then. He emphasized that the cut-back in plant operations is no cause for alarm. “There have been a few years when we were really in a growth position that we didn’t have seasonal lay-offs but they go back as far as I can remember and I’ve been with the company for 20 years now,” Walker concluded. V Hearing On School Budget The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors will hold a special public hearing on the proposed school budget for 1981-82 at the courthouse on Monday, April 20, at 10 a.m. Neighboring Counties Find Land Use Of Limited Value In Slowing Farm Land Conservation By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer After periods ranging from two to eight years in a land use taxation program, tax rates in neighboring counties have not approached anywhere near the $2 or $3 per $100 predicted by opponents to adoption of use value taxation here. But neither do county officials in many of the localities with land use think that the preferential tax treatment has slowed the conversion of agricultural, forestal, horticultural and open space land to more intensive uses. Land use taxation is under consideration by the Rappahannock supervisors as a means of equalizing the shift in tax burden from houses to land that is expected to come with implementation next year of the county’s new 100 per cent fair market value assessment. Under the recent appraisals, house values doubled while worth of land increased by five times. With land use taxation as proposed by the Rappahannock planning cominission, qualifying agricultural, horticultural, forestal and open space property will be taxed at its use value rather than its fair market value. The difference in the two rates is deferred as long as the property stays in a qualifying use. The deferred taxes plus interest for a five year roll-back period become due if the property is changed to a nonqualifying use. The debate over land use which began at the April meeting of the Rappahannock supervisors centered, in part, on concerns over how many of the county’s eligible acres will end up included in a use value taxation program. Experience in surrounding counties varies. Half In Fauquier Fauquier County, which has a separate phone number listed for its land use program operating since 1973, has 225,142 acres of its total 422,400 acres receiving land use. That’s approximately half the county. According to Alice Payne, deputy commissioner of revenue in charge of land use, deferred taxes add up to $1,000,237. Fair market value worth of property in land use is $2,250,000, she reported. With land use, Fauquier's tax rate for 1981 is 68 cents per $100 of assessed value. Comparison with the tax rate prior to adoption of land use For Educati oi>,. County Ranked 5th In Ability To Pay By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Mt*w« Staff ritcr Only four Virginia counties—Arlington, Highland, Louisa and Surry —are ranked higher than Rappahannock in ability to pay for education, according to “Facing Up” for 1979-80, statistical data on the state’s public schools compiled by the department of education. Rappahannock's composite index of local ability to pay for education is set at .6637 with Arlington (1.0000), Louisa (.7186), Highland (.6800) and Surry (1.0000) the only counties considered better able to afford the cost of the General Assembly’s Standards of Quality for education. By comparison, neighboring counties in the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District have composite index figures ranging from .6446 in Fauquier to .4296 in Madison. The composite index figure partially determines the amount of revenue a locality receives from the state for education. It is arrived at through a complicated formula that compares local property values, personal income and taxable retail sales with state averages. ‘‘True value” of Rappahannock property is set at $156,275,000 in Facing Up. By comparison, preliminary figures on the county’s recent 100 per cent fair market value assessment set total worth of taxable property at $245,418,360. In 1979-80, local funds made up 44.4 per cent of Rappahannock’s total $1,593,347 operational expenditures for schools. State retail sales and use tax contributed 16 per cent of operational expenditures, other state funds 27.8 per cent and federal funds 11.8 per cent. In Fauquier’s operational budget, 54.5 per cent was local money, in Culpeper’s 45 per cent, in Madison 40.4 per cent and in Orange 38.3 per cent. Rappahannock dropped well below the state average and neighboring counties in total per pupil expenditures for operations in 1979-80. For its 1,152 average daily membership, Rappahannock spent $1,383 per pupil. The average throughout the state’s city and county school divisions was $1,753. By comparison, Culpeper spent $1,540 per pupil; Fauquier $1,654; Madison $1,598; Orange $1,544. Of the 140 school systems listed in Facing Up for 1979-80, 20 spent less per pupil than Rappahannock. In Facing Up's table on capital outlay, Rappahannock’s debt service payment for 1979-80 is given as $64,603. Only 17 school divisions spent less in debt service. By comparison, expenditures in neighboring counties were $953,235 in Culpeper; $1,561,546 in Fauquier; $139,235 in Madison and S506.637 in Orange. In average salaries paid classroom teachers, Rappahannock also lagged behind the state average and the other four counties in the planning district, both in the amount paid and the per cent of increase over the previous year’s pay. The average salary paid a classroom teacher in Rappahannock was $10,866 in 1979-80. up two per cent from the 1978-79’s average salary of $10,648. The average salary in Culpeper rose 4.2 per cent to $12,111; in Fauquier 7.7 per cent to $13,368 and in Orange two per cent to $11,539. The average salary paid in Madison County in 1979-80 dropped by 3.7 per cent to $11,097. Statewide, the average salary for classroom teachers (Continued on Page 2) is difficult since that county underwent a reassessment at 100 per cent fair market value after adoption. The rate in 1973 before land use was $3.75 on 20 per cent of assessed value, according to Payne. A staff of two administers Fauquier’s land use program, taking approximately one hour to process an application for use value taxation. The county levies an application fee of $30 plus 15 cents per acre with no annual revalidation charge. Commissioner of Revenue Alice Jane Childs emphasized, however, that it is necessary to reapply for land use if there’s a change in ownership or acreage for a participating parcel. Using a 100 acre parcel as an example, she explained that should one acre be sold, the land owner must reapply—and pay the application fee—on the balance of 99 acres. With this approach, she said, administration costs, estimated at ap proximately 510,000 annually, are covered by the fees. Childs added that personnel handling land use applications cover other responsibilities in the commissioner of revenue’s office as well, including administration of tax relief for the elderly and collection of regular local property taxes. Fauquier planner Dick McNear maintained that it’s hard to assess the impact of land use on farm land conversion in his county. “The relief in the tax burden—which includes taking taxes off livestock and farm machinery—has created a more positive psyche for the farmers, a better attitude. They feel more secure. They do more planning, rent land, invest in equipment. There are farmers in the business in Fauquier who wouldn’t be without land use. I happen to think it’s done some good but 1 don’t'know how to measure it.” (Continued on Page 10) Roadside Cleanup Tops $6,500 Here The Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation spent 1,328 manhours and $6,550 picking up trash off Rappahannock's primary roads in fiscal year 1979-80. For the state as a whole, litterbugs cost Virginia motorists some $1.5 million last year, an increase of $206,268 over the previous year. The announcement came this week from the Highway Department as crews around the state began cleanup preparations for Virginia's 48th annual Historic Garden Week, April 18-26. While the roadside cleanup is costly and trash mars much of the countryside, it also adds a potential safety hazard for the motorist. Blowing paper and other trash can distract a motorist or impair his vision. Discarded cans and bottles are sometimes tossed in the paths of oncoming cars. Trash discarded alongside the highways can become a special hazard in the mowing season when it can be thrown onto the highway by blades of large power mowers or can severely damage equipment. Culpeper District, of which Rappahannock is a member, had the second highest expenditure—$255,949—for litter cleanup of the state’s eight highway districts. Fairfax County, part of Culpeper District, topped the list of cleanup costs for counties with S>iiS,38t! while Greene County, another Culpeper District locality, can boast of having the state’s most litter conscious motorists with cleanup costs of only $40. According to C. O. Leigh, the highway department's maintenance engineer, motorists can do the following to help cut cleanup costs: — Keep litter bags or containers in their vehicles and use them until trash can be disposed of in a proper manner. —Use litter barrels placed at rest areas and other sites along the state highways. Some 1,400 such containers are provided by the department for litter disposal. —Encourage officials to establish local refuse disposal facilities to help stop the use of roadside containers for household trash. In addition to litter cleanup, which continues year-round, the department’s spring cleaning chores include re-painting trash barrels and cleaning and repairing picnic tables and other facilities at rest areas, waysides, and picnic areas.

ART CRITICS CORNER An enthusiastic audience of singing, clapping and laughing Community Concert members joined Keith and Rusty McNeil for the final program of the 1980-81 concert series Monday night in Culpeper. A review of American history was seen through music as the McNeils carried us from the colonial days of the fiddle and bagpipes to the trombones, clarinets, and jug bands of the jazz and blues period. With more than 30 folk instruments and an exotic collection of rhythm instruments from around the world, the McNeils have been bringing this American cultural heritage to audiences in Canada and the United States for IS years. The McNeils are competent musicians with great sensitivity to style and voice. The audience participated by singing the choruses and rounds, and providing the rhythm accompaniment through clapping and the use of the McNeils’ rhythm instruments. Thus well known and not so well known songs of the American people were enthusiastically enjoyed by all. Favorites among the songs and ballads were Scarborough Fair (a Neil Simon arrangement) from the colonial period, Cielito Undo from the Spanish Southwest area, Shenandoah (a fur traders’ song, but better known as a sea chanty) and Strawberry Roan from the westward movement, Goober Peas from the period of the War between the States, songs of circuit riders and camp meetings, songs from the feminist, suffrage and temperance movements, Bill Bailey Won’t You Please Come Home: from the jazz period, and finally I’m My Own Grandpa from the new folk heroes. To close their program, the McNeils sang the Hebrew song Hava Nagila. —J. T.

Town Moves Ahead (Continued from Page 1) The land chosen by the geological survey was also deemed by the health department to be the most desirable from a sanitary point of view. Miller said that he. also wanted to make sure that ,high quality pipe was used for the hook-up. “That’s been such a problem for us,” he said. The cast-iron pipe that’s been in the ground for thirty years is fine. It’s the newer, cheaper pipe that’s given us so much trouble with leaks.” Miller concluded the discussion of the new well by saying that a surveyor would come April 22 to pinpoint the exact location as noted on the geologist’s chart. “Well, we need to do something soon,” Charlie Jenkins said. “I’m pumping water every day now again.” Council discussed a couple of possible leaks that had been reported and Jenkins' agreed to check them out. They also agreed that if a town resident wants the water meter on his property moved, the resident, not the town, should bear the expense. fl". . ■. After voting to pay the monthly bills, the council adjourned. Present were Miller, Jenkins, Taylor Updike, C. E. Giles, Dorothy Hawkins and Dorothy Clater. Council member Brad Fisher was absent.

If the question is how to best use your improvement dollar, keep in mind the eventual resale of your home. The national average length of home ownership is seven years. It’s what a buyer sees, not what you tell him, that makes the difference. Which do you think would add more to the visual value of a home - new insulation or a new kitchen? Unless the insulation is really on its last legs, a new kitchen is a better investment. A buyer can see a new kitchen or r remodeled bathroom, an exterior paint job, but will he see the insulation behind the walls and in the attic? Of course, it’s always nice to do both, but if you have a choice, spend your money where it will be seen the most. It will make your house more attractive and more salable when the time comes.

Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, APRIL 16,1981 Congratulations After four years of community effort and the final push of a $100 donation from coach Ann Spieker, the Rappahannock track is ready for runners, at last. On April 20 at 3:45 p.m., the RCHS Panthers will host Page High School in the county’s first track meet. With Panther Athletic League stickers and volunteer construction help, at car washes, benefit polo games, bake sales, booths at Washington's fourth of July festivities and a host of other fund raising projects, with cash donations large and small, Rappahannock residents have joined together to make the high school track a reality. There’s been no help from any county agency. Not a penny in local tax money went to support construction. The Rappahannock Board of Supervisors in fact, cut funds for track equipment from last year’s budget. This has been a people’s track from the beginning and now it’s time to celebrate. Rappahannock folks need to turn out in mass for next week’s inaugural meet. It’s a day for congratulating each other on a job well done. Neighborhood Watch Window breaking vandalism, the curse of city and suburb has struck Rappahannock County. Recently, several windows in the auditorium of the old Washington school were shattered by green glass marbles, probably fired from a sling shot. A kids’ prank? Not when replacement costs are estimated at S135. That takes the misdeed out of prank category and into the class of vandalism. We hope the broken windows at the old school will turn out to be an isolated incidence. To ensure that the vandalism doesn’t spread, there are a few steps that we, as community oriented citizens, can take. Following the example of suburban areas where this type of problem has reached epidemic proportions, we can maintain informal neighborhood watches. In Rappahannock, this doesn’t have to be anything more than keeping an eye out on the house or farm next door when we know the residents aren’t home and reporting anything suspicious to Sheriff W. A. Bun tin. We’re not suggesting that folks form vigilante groups or spend their evenings peeping out between the curtains, just show a little neighborly concern for the other fellow’s property. There’s a brighter side to the vandalism story as well. Recognizing the principles of respect for persons and property, local Boy Scouts have undertaken to repair the damage to the school as a community service project. With their efforts, they are setting a fine example for their peers, one that we hope makes a deep impression. : ****-.. Rappahannock Newt photo/S. Latham THE TEMPTATION to break window panes in unattended buildings seems to overwhelm youngsters and the former Washington school house was no exception. Apparently large green marbles launched from sling shots crashed through the panes in one section of the building recently. During the weekend William Carrigan, owner of the school house, had the damage repaired. Boy Scouts of the area helped to clean up the debris and pledged their support in keeping an eye out for potential intruders. This was The News... in Bygone Rappahannock Times. 30 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS ON THE FRONT page of the Rappahannock News for Thursday, April 20, 1950 was the announcement that the school board agreed to a new salary scale for teachers: ‘"The new salary schedule places certificates and years of experience (up to six years) at S1800 and *2000.” According to the county census report of Saturday April 21, about 3584 people had been counted so far. Estimates were that this was about onehalf of the county population, and it included 981 dwellings and 392 farms. So popular was the Rappahannock News in 1950 that a truck driver of Middletown turned in a false report of robbery in order that he might get his name in the paper. He had claimed that he had been beaten up and robbed Wednesday afternoon, April 12, by two men near Flint Hill. “The county police force, three State police cars and a pack of bloodhounds answered the alarm. His feed truck, which was investigated on the roadside by the police, was found to have two bullet holes in it. A .38 caliber revolver was also discovered on a nearby embankment. After being questioned for two hours, he finally confessed to turning in the false report, because he ‘wanted to get his name in the paper.’ Meanwhile, some of the students at Washington High School were probably less anxious to get their names in the gossip column of the Little Washington Post, especially when it asked questions like this: “Who’s the lucky guy who gets to sit beside Nora G. in the Movies? Could it be Bobbie?” “Hey! Have you noticed Taylor’s new hair cut? Bet all the girls will swoon now.” “Several girls from Amissville visit Mountain View. Could it be because of the new boy working there? ” At the Pitts Theatre in Culpeper was Madame Bovary with Jennifer Jones and James Mason, Family Honeymoon with Claudette Colbert and Fred MacMurray, and In the Good Old Summertime with Van Johnson and J udy Garland. . Rappahannock New* phpto/S. Indiana GEE, ISN’T THIS GREAT? Rappahannock County High School track team members try out the new oval at the school which was recently completed after four years of intensive effort on the part of students, teachers and individual contributors who made the track a reality. Monday will be the first meet at RCHS using the new track. Crusade Donations Come Home To HelD By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer As volunteers go door-todoor during April, the annual Cancer Crusade month, we need to remember that we get back as much and more than we give. This year, Rappahannocak’s "fair share goal” is $3,003. That money will go the American Cancer Society’s headquarters along with donations contributed by millions of other Americans across the country. Part will be funneled into research that will bring closer a cure for this dreaded disease. A small percentage will be alloted to the Society’s administrative costs. But much more than we give comes back home to be used in educational programs which may prevent our children from contracting cancer or teach our loved ones to recognize early warning signs of the disease when there’s still time for control. It comes home to be used for alleviation of suffering that cancer brings. The money buys beds, walkers, commodes, wheel chairs and other equipment made available to cancer patients through the county’s loan closet. Most of the equipment is out in Rappahannock households the majority of the time, indicating through demand the prevelancy of cancer in the county. Families who’ve borrowed from the loan closet are generous with their thanks. “We couldn’t have possibly done without the hospital bed. It came at a very critical time. It was greatly appreciated,’’ said one recipient. “The walker which we borrowed from you really helped us when we needed help,” wrote another. “I deeply appreciate all the kindness extended to me by you and your society at this difficult period in my life,” reads a letter to the loan closet chairman. The Rappahannock Cancer Society is trying now Dial Poison Control The Blue Ridge Poison Control Center provides a 24hour toll free telephone service at (804) 924-5543 that offers both emergency medical advice and information regarding poisons. The center has computer access to detailed information on 195,000 listings of drugs, chemicals, their descriptions, imprint codes,, plants and other poisonous substances. Also computerized are suggested treatment methods written jay physicians for 241 classes of poisons. The computer can recall information about poisons, their physiological effects, and the most appropriate treatment. Who calls the number (804) 924-5543? Physicians, nurses, teenagers, adults of all ages, and child care workers throughout Virginia looking for the most accurate information on poisons and standardized treatments. A poison can be defined as any substance that produces a harmful effect on the body processes. It may act by modifying the normal metabolic functions of cells or by directly destroying them. Poisoning may result from ingestion, inhalation, injection, surface contact, or by absorption through skin and mucuous membranes of substances in toxic amounts. Many household cleaning products are poisons if inhaled or accidentally swallowed. Children are the main victims. Accidental poisoning is the most common medical emergency for children between the ages of two and ten. Colors and shapes of containers usually stored on shelves in kitchen or bathroom cabinets are special treasures for exploration by pre-school children. There is such a wide selection. The pink silver polish could be strawberry-flavored. For sure, the brown bottle of liquid furniture wax polish must be chocolate. One quick swallow becomes an emergency for that child. Eating or nibbling on a leaf, seed, nut, or berry from many plants can produce circulatory collapse within thirty to fifty minutes. Other common plants can cause severe gastrointestinal disturbance. Several classes of insects can give painful and harmful bites or stings. Death can occur within sixty minutes if a person is hypersensitive or allergic to the venoms of the bee, wasp, or ant. Every minute counts in an accidental poisoning emergency. A call to the Blue Ridge Poison Center will result in prompt medical guidance. If the person can be treated at home, the center staff member will make a follow-up call at one, four, and 24-hour intervals to make sure the victim is recovering as expected. If emergency care is required, the caller is directed to the nearest hospital. In the meantime, the center will transmit a data collection sheet regarding the poison as well as a detailed summary of the recommended treatment via telecopier. By the time the patient arrives at the emergency room, the doctors will know what to expect and what to do. The time saved is very important. The Blue Ridge Poison Center is located at the University of Virginia. It is associated with the Pittsburgh-based National Poison Center Control which includes 35 poison centers and hundreds of member hospitals serving 90 million people. This provides the Blue Ridge Poison Center with extensive up-to-date information quickly available on computers. Keeping the Blue Ridge Poison Center telephone number (804) 924-5543 near the telephone could save a life. Letters To The Editor PayOff To the editor: On Monday, April 20, Rappahannock County High School will hold its first home track meet. The team and community began four years ago to earn money to build a track and their work will finally pay off. The meet is with Page County and is scheduled to begin at 3:45. There will be a fund-raising bake sale and proceeds will go towards an asphalt runway for the high jump and for putting in a pole vault pit. I urge you to come and support your county’s teams. With care from the community, troubles might be surmounted and goals attained. LYNN JONES Sperryville Successful Program To the editor: The recently completed “After School Mini-Courses” at Rappahannock County Elementary School were enthusiastically received by the student body and the community. The tremendous success of this program was made possible by the teachers and volunteers who contributed their free time and talents to the students. Contributing to this program and deserving of special thanks are the following: Nancy Davis, Scarlett Dyer, Jerry Hall, Laurie Marshall, Gizelle Schellenberg, Rose Ann Sharp, and Mark Wittl. SUSAN WITTL Program Organizer Control Guns To the editor: Our President lies wounded, felled by a bullet fired from a "Saturday Night Special.” This favorite weapon of the assassin was easily obtained at a Dallas pawnshop. In all but one of the eleven assassinations and attempted assassinations of Presidents or Presidential candidates, th$ assassin used a handgun. Presidents Lincoln, Garfield, and McKinley were slain. Must we bury another President before the Congress acts to pass an effective national handgun control law? Together we can make the Congress act now to control handguns. Join with us today. N. T. “PETE” SHIELDS Chairman Handgun Control, Inc. Washington, D. C. to get funding to expand the loan closet with more beds, commodes and walkers. The need is so great. Donations made during the annual Crusade can help to meet this need. Contributions also go towards supporting clinics sponsored by the local unit. Twenty percent of the men and women screened in Rappahannock’s detection clinics for skin, oral, breast and uterine cancer have been referred to their personal physicians for further tests or treatment. If just one of these individuals is saved through prompt attention they wouldn’t otherwise receive without the Cancer Society’s free clinics, it makes the return on our contributions immeasurable. How many dollars and cents in donations equals one life? The same applies to other Cancer Society projects funded with the money collected during the annual Crusade. Was there a youngster in your house who vowed never to smoke and brought home lectures on the dangers of cigarettes after seeing "The Feminine Mystique,” the Cancer Society’s film on lung cancer shown at Rappahannock County High and Wakefield schools? If a single teenager turns his or her back on tobacco because of the message hammered across by that film, our donations will have been repaid countless times over. The Rappahannock unit plans to show “The Feminine Mystique” to the local woman’s club and special films on colo-rectal and prostate cancer to senior citizen and men’s groups, widening the Society’s educational program here. Leading Hie Way In one area, the Rappahannock chapter is at the forefront of a national movement. For years, statistics have shown that black Americans have a higher incidence rate of cancer than whites and a significantly lower survival rate with the disease. A penetrating survey of American urban blacks released by the Cancer Society in February attributes the difference to lack of education. But long before there was any special emphasis placed nationally on informing flacks of cancer’s warning signs and emphasizing the importance of detection examinations, the Rappahannock unit's members realized that local programs and clinics weren’t reaching the black community here. Working primarily through the county’s churches with assistance from black women who are leaders in their neighborhoods and with invaluable help from nurse Darlene Jett Green, the local Cancer Society set up a series of on-going educational programs conducted monthly in the black churches. Response has been phenominal. At least here in Rappahannock, blacks are being given information through films and lectures that can protect their lives from this mysterious killer. Using special funds set aside for the truly needy, the Cancer Society has also helped families stricken by cancer with transportation to hospitals for treatment and with the staggering expenses of medication. To support research towards a cure for cancer, we urge Rappahannock residents to give generously when a Crusade volunteer calls. But even more importantly, we urge you to contribute so that the many life saving and helping programs conducted here at home by our local unit can continue.

Peter Pan Opens On April 30th Legitimate theater is coming to Rappahannock County, but if the second play produced by the newly formed Rappahannock Players is any indication, “illegitimated might be a better word. “Peter Pan,”a musical adapted from the play by Sir James Barrie, is the story of a boy with no parents who refuses to grow up. Barrie wrote the original drama about members of his own family, with Peter Pan being a composite of all his own boys—or at least this is what the author latei claimed. “Peter Pan” will be performed at Mountain Magic Theater in Washington at 8 p.m. on April 30, May 1-2 and May 9-10. Preceeding the play at 7 p.m., a wine and cheese reception for all play goers will be presented on the lawn adjacent to the theater. Tickets are on sale now at $3.50 for adults and $2 for children 12 and under at the Rappahannock Library and Nature’s Foods in Washington, Faith Mountain Antiques in Sperryville or from any member of the Rappahannock Players. For reservations and information, call 675-3462. The play, an imaginative fantasy for children and adults, opens in th^/foper London nursery settmg of the Darling family, whose children Wendy, Michael and John are captivated by the impish pranks and magic of Peter Pan. After the famous scene when Peter teaches the children to fly, the action changes to Never Never Land, an island of enchantment peopled by fierce pirates, a band of lost boys, and wild Indians led by Princess Tiger Lily.

Two actors will be remembered from last fall's presentation of “HMS Pinafore”-Steve Hostetter, who played Sir Joseph, the foppish admiral, has transformed himself into the dastardly Captain Hook. Waldron O’Connor, the Pinafore’s captain, has become the conscientious (he calculated the family budget while holding his new bride’s hand to see if they could afford a child) but ineffectual (he ends up in the dophouse...literally...by the end of the play) Mr. Darling. Libby Snead plays opposite O’Connor as the affectionate and motherly Mrs. Darling. In the role of Tiger Lily is Nan Smith, who charmed the audience at last year’s talent show with her beauty and grace. Another talent show star, Lindalou Heimstra, has been chosen for the small but important role of Wendy Grown-up. While there is something in the play for every adult, “Peter Pan” is a timeless classic especially entertaining for children, and superb group of young people have been cast in the youthful roles. Nancy Proctor, who plays Wendy, is joined by Brad Fisher as brainy brother Michael and the vocally talented Willis Arias as John. Chad Bear, Tara Fisher, Jonah and Noah Waggoner, and Cory Dermitt shine as the Lost Bovs, whose wonderful singing and dancing may just steal the show. Although a central theme of Barrie’s famous play is that of delayed adolesence and the pain and paradox of growing into adulthood, this universal message is softened by episodes of high comedy. The hilarious dance numbers by the fierce pirate band, the fiendish plotting and droll soliloquies by Hook, Micheline Hostetter’s brilliant special effects, set design by O'Connor and Stuart Eiland, and Barbara Sherman’s consumate piano accompaniment, all combine to make “Peter Pan" a dramatic and musical treat not to be missed.

Rappahannock Cook Shares Secrets of Local Chefs in New Cook Book By THERESA REYNOLDS RtppalttBBock News Staff Writer Two years ago Sheila Geoghegan pulled up stakes in the city she'd called home all her life and came to Rappahannock to take a position as assistant to conservative columnist James J. Kilpatrick. Sheila also left Washington, D.C. with a folder full of notes that recorded the first stages of an idea she’d been hatching for a long time: publishing a cookbook with recipes from famous area restaurants. With her friend and coauthor, Bonnie Fitzpatrick, she set out to pry loose the recipes for her favorite Washington restaurant meals from secretive chefs and owners. “It sounds simple, right?” Sheila said. “All we had to do was sample the meals, talk the chefs out of their recipes, put them in logical form and publish them.” But as Sheila and Bonnie 100 j PIECES I FOR SALE !

John's Auction Company Culpeper, Va. 547-2821 found out in the process of publishing Dining Ont and Dining In; Memorable Menua and Recipes from Washington’s Finest Restanrants, their undertaking was far from simple. Their adventures during this two-year process were sometimes frustrating, sometimes hilarious. Like the time they completed negotiations with an owner only to come up emptyhanded when the chef ran away with all his recipes. Or the time that a chef deliberately misled them by leaving ingredients out and giving them in the wrong proportions. In the end Bonnie and Sheila came up with twentyfive recipes for complete dinners, chosen by the chefs i for their elegance and the i ease with which they could be | prepared at home. < Then came the fun: each i course of the twenty-five^ meals had to be tested in the postage-stamp kitchen of the house Sheila rents in Little Washington. The project disrupted Sheila's life only about as much as if she were in serious training for a world heavyweight title. This was in . addition to her full-time job with Kilpatrick (who calls her his “right hand, left hand and glad hand). Worked Around The Clock Bonnie and Sheila worked, sometimes around the clock, boiling, stuffing, baking, rolling and mixing; not to Rappahannock New* Photo/T. Reynold* DINING IN Sunday night, Sheila Geoghan entertains dinner guests with recipes gathered from the best of Washington area chefs.

We had to translate these into meals for six. One recipe *e tested eight times - it never turned out.” Needless to say, that recipe was abandoned, along with others that were too difficult to prepare with the resources ;>f a home kitchen or that railed for ingredients nearly impossible to find. Sheila said that towards the end they had to go into seclusion. “People kept dropping by. They didn't realize how serious we were. Finally, I put a ‘DO NOT DTSTURB‘ sign on my door. We didn’t answer the door or phone.” A Lot Of Food What became of the twenty-five gourmet meals cooked one after the other in quantities impossible for the two cooks to consume? “A lot we gave away, some went into the freezer. Neither of us ate regular meals during this period because we were always full from tasting,” Sheila said.' In fact, surrounded by all that rich food, she lost five pounds. Publishing Dining Out and Dining In is the result of a lifelong interest in cooking: “Some kids want to go to college. I wanted to go to the Cordon Bleu,” Sheila said. “I was always in the kitchen, even as a teenager.” Sheila's talents in the kitchen came in handy when she served as co-chairman of the charity ball in Washington,' D.C., an event sponsored yearly to benefit the Easter Seal Society. This position demanded a great deal of entertaining. Bonnie was the other chairman and that’s how the two met and discovered a mutual interest in dining out and dining in. Kilpatrick decribes them as “positive corkers.” Home To Rappahannock Despite her reputation as a “corker”. Sheila enjoys the peace and beauty of Rappahannock County and has come to consider it her home. “When I first came here 1 thought I'd be going back to D.C. every weekend. Now it takes a real occasion to make me leave.” She and Bonnie give a special mention in their book to Rappahannock's fine restaurant. The Inn at Little Washington. “I tried not to compare restaurants in the book," she said. “Each is excellent in its own way. But if I had to choose, I would have to say The Inn is my favorite.” The other twenty-four restaurants are in the immediate metropolitan Washington area. "Dining Out and Dining In doesn’t exactly review the restaurants included. It's intended to be more of a general guide. We do provide a description of the decor, the type of cooking, and the type of meal that would be served there," Sheila said. Recipe* Samples of recipes for full dinners included in the book — Rappahannock News Pholn/T. Reynolds SHEILA GEOGHEGAN AND FRIEND, Stephanie Tholand, share the results of Sheila’s efforts in the kitchen. Even little people appreciate homemade versions of meals served at the area’s finest restaurants. Sheila’s cookbook tells you how. are those provided by the Inn: Watercress Soup Veal Shenandoah Kiwi Fruit Salad and those provided by Chez Andree, another favorite: Pate Breton Bordeaux Civet de Lapin Vinaigrette Sauce with Avocado Creme Caramel Sheila and Bonnie tried to balance the book, using a variety of foods as well as nationalities. They received no payment or incentives from restaurants for inclusion in the book. Sheila thinks that Dining Out and Dining In has builtin market appeal: “The difference in cost in preparing a fine meal at home' and buying it in a restaurant - just one - saves more than the cost of the book." In addition to the synopsis ot restaurants, the recipes, and the introduction by Kilpatrick. Dining Out and Dining In includes testimonials from national notables like Willard Scott: “...One of the reasons I am as large as I am is that I've always followed Sheila Geoghegan’s recommendations as to where to eat and what to order...”; Nancy Dickerson: "...Some of the greatest recipes I’ve seen are in this collection..."; and neighbor Gene McCarthy: “...(These recipes) will sail successfully out of the kitchen, on to the table and on to the ultimate satisfaction of the diners.” Dining Out and Dining In will be available shortly at Rush River Company and at area bookstores.

Monroe Burke Jr., Warren County’s commissioner of revenue, when told that Rappahannock is considering adoption of a use value taxation ordinance. With a $10 recording fee charged for each noncontiguous parcel in land use, Burke maintained that fees “don’t even come close” to covering costs for administration of the program. “Our board went for land use and agricultural districts both—the whole hog. It keeps you busy,” Burke said, estimating that the assessor spent a third of his time on land use. “We can’t get people to understand it. We almost have to hand feed them,” he added. “We have land subdivided on plats that’s still getting land use, that’s what 1 object to,” Burke continued. “They sell and make a profit and the county pays.” He maintained that the five year roll-back period as a penalty for dropping out of the program “isn’t tough enough. The back taxes aren’t much and it’s the little man who buys the lot who will have to pay...It’s a subsidy to the guy who sells the land. It just gives them a tax shelter,” Burke said. In addition, he said there’s been no difference in the change of farm land to more intensive uses since adoption of use value. Taxes in Warren County don’t appear to have gone up much as the result of land use. however. The rate was 50 cents per $100 before use value taxation was adopted in 1979 and this year’s rate is 55 cents, according to Burke. Warren County’s assessor reported the fair market value of property in land use as $28,200,650. The program’s preferential assessment drops that figure down to $9,213,430 for tax purposes. He estimated that 25 per cent of the county’s total area is in land use, falling only in the categories of agricultural and forestal although use value taxation is also afforded to horticultural and open space property. 15 Per Cent In Culpeper In Culpeper County, Audrey Powell, deputy commissioner of revenue for land use, reported that 2,200 to 2,300 of that locality’s 13,000 recorded parcels are receiving use value taxation. Deferred taxes on property in the program, with estimated fair market value of $80,000,000, amounted to $504,000 this year, she said. Since 1976 when the program was adopted, Culpeper has undergone a reassessment at 100 per cent fair market value. Taxes this year are 63 cents per $100. Powell has seen no slow down in the transfer of agricultural land to more intensive uses since adoption of use value taxation. “There might be some exceptions,” she acknowledged, “but the more intensive uses give bigger and better money.” She reported that the $25 application fee charged by Culpeper doesn’t cover the administration costs for land use. This year, the program’s administrative price tag was $15,000, including computer time and salaries for one fulltime and one part-time person. In the proposed budget for 1982, this drops to $12,000 due to elimination of the part-time slot, Powell said. When land use began, Culpeper had 700 applications the first year. Then the county experienced another big spurt in applications when it went through a 100 per cent fair market value assessment, according to Powell. “But I only had about 100 applications this year. That doesn't anywhere near pay for the cost of administration,” she said. Like Fauquier County, Culpeper strictly enforces the requirement for reapplication if there’s been any change in acreage, use or ownership and charges a new application fee. Changes for old participants, however, amount to only 25 or so annually, Powell said. Culpeper allows land use 1 General District Court Cases Pamela J.

We know our fanners,” Powell said. “But of course use value includes more than just our farmers. Speculators are' eligible too,” she noted, adding that Culpeper’s proximity to the metropolitan area attracts investors to buy farm land and other property that would qualify for use value. “It’s a controversial program,” she acknowledged. Fanner Supervisors “On our board, we have three farmers. They don’t care what percentage of the county is in land use,” said Madison’s commissioner of revenue Kay Nichol. According to Nichol, well over half of Madison County’s total acreage is receiving use value taxation. In addition, she said, owners of approximately 30 per cent of the land eligible for the program have not applied. Fair market value of Mad isoin property in land use is $29,735,320. Without land use, she said, taxes on that property would bring in $503,221 in revenue. With land use, however, $163,544 is deferred dropping revenue received down to $342,677. “We reduced the levy by about 30 per cent,” Nichol noted. Madison allows preferential tax treatment on all four classes permitted under state enabling legislation—agricultural, forestal, horticultural and open space—although Nichol reported that the county has not yet received an application for open space. She set costs for administering the program at “a lot,” maintaining that administration expenses weren’t covered by the $20 per parcel application fee after the first year or two of the program’s operation. “It would take one person fulltime if we weren’t nice, 1 reckon," Nichol said, adding that she would never advise another commissioner ol revenue to be as accommodating as she was in accepting the added work land use brings. “It really needs a full-time girl,” she maintained. As for impact that use value taxation has on the conversion of farm land to more intensive uses, “I can’t see one bit of difference in the world,” Nichol said. Similar to what Rappahannock proposes to do, Madison began its land use program the same year that the county’s 100 per cent fair market value assessment became effective. That was four years ago in 1978 with a tax rate of 50 cents per $100. The following year Madison’s tax rate went up to 55 cents per $100 and has stayed there since with no raise anticipated for 1982, according to Nichol. No Debate Unlike Rappahannock, land use sparked no public interest in Madison. “Nobody attended the public hearing but a few farmers,” the commissioner of revenue recalled, adding that the program still causes little controversy or debate. Clarke’s commissioner of revenue Mary Rhoden likes the land use program. “It’s a lot of extra work but it's a ■—AmeriGas-i SHENGAS DIVISION 327 No Royal Ave Front Royal Va 635-3556 L P Gas distributor serving a lour county area Propane gas tor lull house use. heating water healing and cooking Hardwick Ranges Ruud Water Heaters Space Heaters L.i TF I counter none/ ROBERT METCALFE GENERAL CONTRACTOR New Homes •Cabins •Additions •Remodeling Box 147 Flint HHI, Va. 22827 703*675*3897 very good assessment for real farmers,” she said. “A11 in all, I think it’s a good program.” Asked if she thought adoption of land use had any impact in Clarke on the conversion of farm land to more intensive uses, Rhoden replied, "not really—not that alone.” She added, however, that coupled with Clarke’s innovative sliding scale zoning, land use may make a difference in preserving agricultural land. A county with a population of approximately 9,000, Clarke’s land use program hasn’t been plagued by abuses from speculators. “We have only a couple of speculators getting land use. In such a small county, you know most of the applicants,” Rhoden added. According to the commissioner of revenue, Clarke has 8,500 parcels in land use with 368 applications approved in 1980. The total amount of taxes deferred through the program was $60,000 this year. The county’s tax rate for 1981 is 60 cents per $100. When land use taxation began, Clarke County charged an application fee of $5 but raised it this year to S2S with an added renewal fee of $5 every six years. “$5 didn’t cover the cost of administration,” Rhoden acknowledged. ‘‘We’re hoping S25 will.” ++++ On Monday, April 20, at 10 p.m., the Rappahannock supervisors will hold a special public hearing on the proposed school budget for 1981-82. Following the hearing, the supervisors will decide on the specifics to include in a land use taxation ordinance which will be advertised for public hearing. Under state enabling legislation, localities may choose any or all of the four categories of land — agricultural, horticultural, fbrestal and open space—as eligible for preferential tax treatment. In addition, local government has the option of deciding how much to charge as an application fee and whether to charge a periodical revalidation fee as well.
