Planners Deny Construction Yard By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Nnn Staff Writer "When a man owns something, pays for it and pays taxes on it and then a committee tells you whether you can sell it or what you can put on it...we’re getting in a very, very critical condition,” Boyd Brown told the Rappahannock planning commissioners at their reconvened meeting on April 21. Brown’s remarks came as the commissioners were considering his son’s application to rezone the family’s property, three acres on Route 211 near Amissville, from agricultural to commercial for the purpose of operating a construction yard. The rezoning request was tabled after the commission’s March 18 public hearing for clarification on a legal question as to whether approval would constitute “spot zoning.” This Tuesday, commonwealth attorney Douglas Baumgardner pointed out (—NOTICE—I The deadline for news and advertising copy is 6:00 T uesday evening.

"My priorities (in education) will be basically those of the community- I think public schools are just that—they belong to the public ... It's vital for parents to indicate what they want done." said Robert Estabrook. Rappahannock's new superintendent of schools, in an interview last week. Estabrook will take over the top slot in the local public school system on July I. To date, he’s made two trips to the county from Wytheville where he’s currently assistant superintendent of schools. On Monday and Tuesday of last week, he met the Rappahannock supervisors at their public hearing on the proposed 1981-82 school budget and spent a half day at the elementary school. “I’m not in a position to say a peat deal." he emphasized^ Mtbre answering question's on what will be his approach to education in Rappahannock County. “My first time down, all but an hour was spent looking for a home.” A native of Oneonta.

Instructors Defend Shop Safety Precautions By DAPHNE HU fCHINSON Rappahannock INcwa Staff Writer "We don’t want people to think we run a butcher shop here,” stated Tom Von Fange. industrial arts teacher at Rappahannock County High School. Concerned over community response to an article that appeared in the April 16 edition of the Rappahannock News, Von Fange and building trades instructor Jim Dennis called the paper for an interview on Monday. At issue are charges made by Louise Ellis of Amissville that an accident in shop class which seriously injured her daughter's hand was completely avoidable. According to Mrs. Ellis, her daughter’s hand would not have been cut while she was operating the shop's radial arm saw if the machinery had a lower guard now required by the state on new pieces of similar equipment. In reaction to the accident, she filed a formal complaint with the state's OSHA division, alleging safety hazards. At the same April 16 meeting, superintendent of schools William Bloomer, when questioned by the school board members, said the damage to Renee Ellis' hand would have been much less severe if the lower guard has been in place. Neither statement is correct, according to the shop teachers. “She never could have cut herself like that (across the middle finger and along the ring finger of her left hand) if she had been looking at the saw,” maintained Von Fange. “If she’d been paying attention to what she was doing,” Dennis added. He said he'd questioned other students in the class immediately following the accident and those working near Renee said she was talking and not watching the saw. “She kept repeating Tm sorry Mr. Von Fange. I’m sorry Mr. Von Fange.’ for at least a half an hour after the accident happened,” the industrial arts teacher noted. The shop instructors pointed out that the all(Continued on Page S) ministration from the University of Virginia!.''

This is the full length musical version that recently played on Broadway filled with all the singing and dancing that delight the hearts of children and former children. It is the magical story of Neverland, with its pirates, fairies, Indians, and the boy who wouldn’t grow up. The Rappahannock Players have gone to great lengths to recreate all the magic of Neverland, from the aerial escape out the Darling’s Nursery window, to the underground home of the Lost Boys, to the deck of dastardly Capt. Hook’s Pirate Ship. Each moment is filled with the kind of magic that only fantasy and fairy dust impart. Peter Pan is expected to be a sell-out, so get your tickets early. Tickets are less expensive in advance (S3.50 adult, $2.00 twelve and under) and then at the door. Tickets are on sale at Rappahannock Library, Nature’s Foods in Washington, Faith Mountain Antiques in Sperryville, and daily at the Mountain Magic Box Office.

He added, however, that where the two conflict, the zoning ordinance, as a regulatory document, takes precedence. “As long as your resolution of conflicting provisions is reasonable, the courts ought to uphold your decision," Baumgardner said, noting that other factors besides the spot zoning question and proximity to major transportation routes should be considered in evaluating Brown's rezoning request. If the property’s current use is deemed reasonable considering its location, then that is grounds for not granting the rezoning, according to Baumgardner. Residential Use “That property has always been single family residential in an agricultural zone,” E. P. Luke responded. He maintained that approval would constute spot zoning designed to serve a single individual rather than to comply with the county’s overall land use plan. Commissioner Dave Fannon maintained that a commercial rezoning of Brown’s three acres would conflict with the character of the surrounding area and would not be in compliance with the intent of Rappahannock’s comprehensive plan. "I'm certainly not against business but it doesn’t qualify in that particular location.” Fannon said. If approval is granted, “we might as well not have a zoning ordinance,” he added. Newbill Miller asked what effect approval of Brown's rezoning would have on development along Routes 211 and 522, should the commissioners decide that his request complied with both the zoning ordinance and the comprehensive plan's specification for locating businesses near major transportation routes. "Any rezoning sets a precedent,” Baumgardner replied. Noting that Brown Senior had asked at the public hearing whether a third McNear To Draft Revised Zoning Laws Dick McNear left the Rappahannock planning commission's work session on Monday night with ideas to be worked into a rough draft of the county’s revised zoning ordinance. The document that Fauquier's professional planner expects to bring back to the commissioners in two to three months will give the county’s governing bodies “something to start from...We’re not setting anything in concrete,” McNear emphasized. Going over his list of ^questions. the commissioners "igreeed on changes to propose for Rappahannock's zoning ordinance. But even though they okayed inclusions of McNear’s suggestions in the draft, they emphasized that approval wasn't anywhere near final. “You’ve convinced us to take a look at them—that’s all," said Newbill Miller, chairman of the planning commission’s zoning ordinance revision committee. The draft that will come back to the planners and then to the board of supervisors for public hearing and adoption will include changes in the county's zoning districts. Steeply sloped hillsides with grades over 16 or 17 per cent will be delineated in a separate zone. “I strongly believe that your mountains have a different use suitability.” said McNear. He indicated that density and lot size could be the same as in flatter agricultural zones—one dwelling unit per 25 acres—but for different 100% Pass Comp Tests Rappahannock County is one of 30 school divisions from a total of 140 reporting 100 per cent success on competency testing, a requirement for graduation beginning with the class of 1981. At the end of the first semester of 1981, all of Rappahannock’s 74 diplomabound regular students with the required 18 credit units passed both reading and mathematics competency tests. Statewide, only 1,026 regular seniors (1.5 per cent) who appeared to be successfully completing the 18 required units of credit have not passed the reading and mathematics competency test. Results of tests taken in March, 1981, are not reflected in that figure. Determination of success on reading and mathematics competency tests includes results from tests administered through October, 1980. Handicapped students were not included since they’re no longer required to pass the tests to qualify for an Individualized Education Program (IEP) diploma. reasons. That lot size is desirable for farm land because it's about the smallest unit that can be feasibly used for agricultural production, according to McNear. For steep areas, large lots are necessary to prevent environmental damage. Development’s potential for causing public harm on steep slopes through erosion, sedimentation, water and air pollution gives local government grounds to control uses with zoning, he maintained. Even if lot size is the same for both agriculture and mountainous zone*, there are uses permissable in one district that may not be suitable for the other. McNear continued. Clear cutting property to turn it into a dairy farm may be all right on flatter land, he said, but not on steep slopes. In addition, recreational uses fine for agricultural zones might not be suitable for more environmentally sensitive grades over 16 per cent. McNear added. Village Commercial All the county’s unincorporated villages, with the exception of Amissville. are now zoned entirely residential business (RB-1). In the rough draft of the zoning ordinance. McNear suggested that the commissioners zone existing commercial uses in and around villages as “village commercial and leave the rest residential. In the village residential zone. McNear said, home occupations could be allowed with a special use permit, giving local government more control. He proposed a “commercial business” zone for' the Flatwoods area, the only part of the county specified for commercial development in Rappahannock's comprehensive plan. In this district. “larger. freestanding kinds of businesses" like the Farmers Cooperative, chain grocery stores, drug stores, building and supply enterprises and furniture stores as well as typical highway businesses could be allowed by special permits. McNear said. He suggested a limited industrial zone where “industry of the size and nature to be beneficial to the (Continued on Page 6) rental dwelling could be built on the three acres. Miller said he knew of no restrictions that would prevent such action, as long as the parcel wasn't subdivided. Despite the language in the comprehensive plan, Miller continued, the intent of the supervisors and planning commissioners was to direct commercial development around existing villages and to the area along Route 211 between the town of Washington and Rappahannock County High School. Approval of Brown's rezoning could set a precedent, however, for strip development on Routes 211 and 522 from one end of the county to the other. Miller said. "If every piece of property less than five acres along Route 22 can be rezoned, we have no protection for agricultural land," Fannon said. “Then what purpose is a zoning ordinance?" he asked in response to Brown's contention that the three acre tract shouldn't qualify as agricultural since there was “no land there to farm." Only One Other Rezoning Since adoption of the county’s zoning ordinance, the only property rezoned commercial in the Amissville area has been Elmer Jenkins' garage. Miller noted. A. Y. Stokes added that approval was granted Jenkins on the grounds of hardship after the highway department acquired the original site of his business through condemnation for expansion of Route 211. “1 don’t want to create a situation where anyone wanting to rezone property along the highway could get it," Donald Brown responded. He told the commissioners that he "woulnd’t feel bad" if they denied his rezoning application. "That's the way it is." “If that's the way it is, I want it to stay that way," his father agreed. The elder Brown, however, went on to describe the situation in Rappahannock County as regards an individual's personal property rights as (Continued on Page 4) — Rappahannock News Photo/S.

Sperryville Corner Store Under New Ownership By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The Corner Store in Sperryville is under new ownership. But hamburger fanatics, steak connoisseurs and prime rib fanciers—don’t despair! The meat quality that has tickled the appetites of beef lovers for two decades will remain unchanged. “The meat will stay the same—underline, underline.” joked Bud Werner, the new owner. He plans few changes in the little country store at the Sperryville crossroads. "I'm going to paint it. fix it up but basically it will stay the same." Werner said. “1 want to make a statement to the residents of the community. Anything they want, we will try to get. That’s what Wilson and Randolph did for years. I’m going to carry out the tradition that's really a country store." he said. Wilson Burke and Randolph Clater have owned the Corner Store for the past 16 years. Burke started working there when he got out of school in 1953 while Myrtle and Jimmy Falls were proprietors. When he left for a two-year stint in the army in 1958, Clater. then in his last year at Rappahannock County High School, hired on as clerk. stock boy. “whatever needed to be done at the time " Burke, who was out of the army and working as a meat cutter for a Northern Virginia Safeway when the Falls decided to sell, joined forces in a partnership with Clater to buy the business in 1%5. “When 1 first came here, they were selling a round ot beef a week." Clater recalled. (Continued on Page 3)

Delevitt Adds Professional Touch To Country Theater By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON RappaluuuMcfti Nm Staff Writer “People have no idea of how professional a production Peter Pan is going to be. They’d have to pay $25 a ticket in Washington. D. C.. for the same level of singing, dancing and acting.” said Pali Delevitt. producer, actor and director for the show that opens this Thursday. Friday and Saturday at Mountain Magic Theater in Washington. She has the credentials to back up her judgements. She's not a thwarted broadway star who climbed only as far as the lead in the high school play and then spent the rest of her life trying to recapture that moment of glory in community theater. ran s experience ana talent has turned a stageful of enthusiastic amateurs into polished professionals. For the past eight weeks at nightly rehearsals, she's coaxed, encouraged and coached her pirates. Indians and lost boys to perfection. As Peter Pan. that ardent supporter of the “let’s-staykids-forever” philosophy, she'll lead her troupe on their maiden flight to Never-Never Land on Thursday evening. For many in the cast, it will be their first effort at creating theater magic, their first try at suspending disbelief when the curtains are raised. For Pali, it will be another milestone in a career in performing arts that began when she was ten. “My family called me Sarah Heartburn from the day I could walk." Pali joked in an interview this week. “1 was always acting and singing and dancing—showing off basically." she chuckled. Imaginative Fantasy Her first big break came in fifth grade when she was chosen to write and direct the school musical. The original "My Fair Lady's Digestive System." a teaching fantasy featuring a chorus of teeth, a quartet of salivary glands and a duet between the liver and gall , bladder, was Pali's artistic premier. She's still. proud of that early effort. “It was wonderfull I believe kids are the most creative because they haven't been stiffled yet. They're so much better than adults at imagination and make-believe." But Pali didn't leave her imagination behind with childhood. At Illinois* New Trier High School, known throughout theater circles for its fine arts department, she explored the full range of her dramatic talents. “The school put oti two regular plays, two musicals and one full-length original student production every year. 1 was always involved in all of them." she recalled. From New Trier. Pali went on to her first professional challenge at the University of Michigan where she won the competition to write and direct the University's sesquicentennial show. “I was paid for it.

Pali's catholic tastes are reflected in her theater involvement. Of the original productions she penned as a college student, one was a musical and the others dramas. At the same time, she acted, designed costumes and sets, choreographed, produced and directed from Gilbert and Sullivan to Arthur Miller’s The Crucible—“everything from fun and games music and dancing to serious dramatic acting.” she pointed out. Also while a student at University of Michigan, she wrote an original film for a Detroit television station, "music and lyrics as well as the script.” Pali noted. Peace Corp Service After graduation, she started work for an educational television station in Boston only to interrupt her career in the performing arts for a tour as a Peace Corps worker in Malaysia. But as Pali explains it. the career was never really sidetracked. Pali taught English and worked in a maternity-child health clinic in a very, very poor section of Malaysia, providing mothers with information on nutrition. She traveled to the jungles of Borneo and stayed with tribes of head hunters who were making their first few tentative steps into the 20th century. “They don’t take heads anymore." she added reassuringly. “I learned so much more than I gave...The most interesting thing is that children are the same everywhere." Pali said. She could speak a little of the head hunters' language but her primary means of communication with the children of the tribe was through song and dance. Wearing the traditional Malaysian sari, she romped and splashed with the kids in jungle rivers and pools, everyone in the gang laughing and shrieking in deligh) over new found friends, according to Pali. “1 taught them songs and they showed me their songs and dances and how to play their drums. We really couldn't understand each other's words but we communicated through the language of music and dance. It was one of the most profound experiences in my life. I learned that human beings can connect to each other in a place beyond the intellect—in the heart." Pali explained. It wasn't only in the jungle that Pali put her imagination to work. Back in the captial city, she taught English to Malaysian youngsters by acting out ideas and definitions in skits and having them do the same. “So my theater background came in handy." she noted, breaking into the wide smile she habitually wears. Graduate Studies After her Peace Corps stint. Pali won a double scholarship to Tufts University as a graduate student. While attending classes herself, she also gave courses in theater and film and wrote. produced, directed and acted in plays. Then, on the little bit of side that was left over, she taught a theater workshop at Brookline High School. "1 wrote an original version of Thurber's Fables and we had a small company of high school students that toured with the production.” she said, laughing at what appears to have been an overwhelming workload. It’s obvious that for Pali, the theater is never work. From Tufts. she went on to form the Public Theater of Boston. a professional company that did Shakespeare’s The Tempest and Oscar Wilde's Salome during a year under her direction. \ “Since then. I haven’t been very actively involved in theater.” she said. Switching disciplines, she began a business as a professional photographer, an enterprise that attracted clients from across the nation. She met her husband Freeman Allen in New York through mutual friends and saw the on again-off again Rappahannock resident intermittently over three years before the two realized they were in love, according to Pali. Freeman agreed to be "off-again” in Rappahannock and relocate in Boston where Pali based her photography business. ”1 came down to visit here with him when* he* toenf to piek; up * his stove, his dog and his truck and I teil absolutely in love with Rappahannock County in 24 hours.” she recalled. She’s still not sure il the trip was part of a scheme Freeman hatched to convince her that Rappahannock was where the couple should settle but it doesn't really matter. They went back tc Boston long enough to move Pali’s studio lock stock and barrel to the town ot Washington where they rented an apartment until ASCS News By TOM TAYLOR For many years, trends in U S. agriculture have been toward greater technological advances, declining margins, declining numbers of farms, and increasingly larger farms. —2.0(X) farms pier week have gone out of business since 1950. —9.000 farm residents per week relocated between I960 and I97h. —Average farm size increased from 175 acres in 1940 to 450 acres in 1979. —2 percent of all farms control over 37 percent of the sales. —Nonfarmers may own as much as 50 percent of the farmland. —Of the people who own farm and ranchiand. only 25 percent are classified by the Department of Agriculture as farmers.

However, recent data have suggested that, if the trends continue. the secondary impacts may well be a loss of farm sector adaptability, a cutback in efforts to conserve our fertile soil, and less competition. ASCS is doing what it says, helping to stabilize prices and conserve soil not only for the benefit of farmers but for consumers and everyone. they could finish a home or land in Flint Hill. "And then hasn't been a day pass when I haven’t fallen more in lovt with this place! We’re sc blessed to be here.” Pali said her conviction shining through every word. Last year Freeman reopened Washington’s long defunct movie theater and after a year of concentrated effort, is turning Mountain Magic Cinema into a fine arts center. In cooperation with the newly formed little theater group, the Rappahannock Players. Freeman and Pali have enlarged and improved the stage. The expanded facility convinced Pali to tackle Peter Pan. Barre’s play, “one of the most beautiful and wonderful stories of all time," lends itself perfectly to production at Mountain Magic, according to Pali. The superlatives roll off her tongue one after the other as she talks about Peter Pan. “Every single member of the cast is outstanding! We have nine kids who move, act and sing like professionals. They're electrifying! They’re going to ma\e the audiences roll over in their seats! You won’t believe it—they sing harmoney on key. they dance all together, they’ve turned into a real chorus line. They're dynamite! Absolutely dynamite!" ~~ "We have all kinds of special effects, lighting, choreography by Sally Nash, beautiful sets that Micheline Hostetter. Waldron O'Connor and their valient crew built.’” Pali continued. “And we have flying—the kids are really going to fly!" The entire auditorium at Mountain Magic will be transformed into Never-Never Land as actors bring the action right down to the aisles of the theater. The audience will be swept along even further at the wine, cheese, cookie and punch party to be held across the street at the new town hall during intermission, sponsored by the county's Historical Society. “This is no ordinary amateur production.” Pali stressed. "How often do people out here get a chance to see legitimate theater? This is a rare opportunity that shouldn't be missed.” Pali's aim in directing Peter Pan. she said, was to provide a showcase for the talents of each and every individual, particularly the children involved. “Every time I've turned around, one of the kids has surprised me and how terrific they've become. Their talent is latent in almost all kids. They just need a vehicle for it to come out" Peter Pan provides that vehicle. “F.ach one of the kids will stand out in their own...Peter Pan is just another character in the play. He's important but not overwhelming." said the director. “Our goal was to make every moment and every actor something very special." Pali concluded. “And I think we have." “Time For Spring Cleaning” Victiom Clunar Repair/Salas All work guaranteed • Expert Repair Bags/Belts/Accessories for all vacuums Naw/Rebullt Vacuums Compact Distributor, Fro# Homo Demonstrations by appointment Msttr Sweep* 507 E.

Front Royal Business News N Hoosc of Fabrics To Offer Unique Cushions When the space shuttle Columbia completed its first successful mission, workers at the Avtex plant in Front Royal cheered with the rest of the country. But besides their normal interest in the manned flight. Avtex employees had contributed materials used by the shuttle. They make a rayon yarn which in turn is made into heat shields that are used in the shuttle’s booster rockets. This tough material is a carbonizable continuous nonfilament yam. the same as was used on Apollo 10. Mr. Weimer of the House of Fabrics in Front Royal said that his store had purchased the special rayon yam from Avtex and plans to use the heavy duty material in cushions. "We think that these cushions will have a special appeal to local space buffs as well as Avtex employees.” Mr. Weimer said. He plans to first market the cushions locally and then try for a broader market as people collect souvenirs to commemorate the first space shuttle. Avtex is the only plant in the United States to manufacture the special yarn.

If the purchase is made, the money is applied to the sales price. A variation of the standard land option is the "escalator option" which is most often used to naildown relatively large tracts of land for long periods of time...especially when the land's value will probably increase over the next few years. Example: The total option contract on the seller’s property runs for five years and specifies a SI00.000 purchase price. The S7.500 Mr. Buyer initially pays to Seller gives the right to buy the property at the specified price within three years. To keep the option alive another two years. Buyer will have to pay Seller another S2.500. An alternative would be for the option price to remain the same while the purchase price would escalate if Buyer waited for over three years to exercise the option.

Corner Store (Continued from ftige I) Burke taught meat cutting skills to his partner and soon the duo upped sales to the three or four hinds a week they currently handle. For those unfamiliar with beet carcasses, that's five or six times as much business. And it's come at a time when higher prices have influenced Americans to eat less—not more—beef. Their experience proves that a superior product will sell, no matter what the economic conditions. While increasing sales at the meat counter, the partners reduced the Corner Store's dry goods inventory, filling that half of the building with antiques which along with apples, have proved to be the mainstay of Sperryville’s economy over the past decade or so. The desire to spend more time with their families persuaded the partners to sell. "Running a country store is very time consuming." Clater said. “After we open up Thursday morning, we generally work K2 hours before we get a break." Looking For Print Shop A native of South Dakota. Bud Werner arrived in Virginia via California. Visiting his brother in Manassas, he stopped by the town's Chamber of Commerce to get the names of any real estate brokers who belonged to that organization. There was only one—Bob Bridges of Washington. Virginia. "I told him I was looking for a print shop to buy. He gave me a lead and I went out to see it. Then he called back two days later and asked. ‘How about a country store?' " Werner's response was. "What's a country store?" but he agreed to check it anyway. "And although I didn't let Randolph and Wilson know. I fell in love immediately." he added. Six weeks later, "it was a reality—I was the new owner." said Werner, who plans to move to the county soon with his son who will help with the store operation. Burke has already left for a job at the Rappahannock Cooperative and Clater was scheduled to depart in July, but he's changed his mind and will stay on behind the cash register and meat counter indefinitely. Peggy Wayland and Jimmy Jenkins will also continue working for Werner. "Well have many old faces and a few new ones." the new owner concluded.

Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, APRIL 30,1981 Planners Deny Rezoning (Continued from Page 1) ‘‘a very close thing.” He acknowledged that people must abide by laws but criticized ordinances which interfere with the use and sale of private property bought, paid for and taxed. Brown maintained that it's getting to the point where government control here is differentiated from government control in the U.S.S.R. only in that people are told "straight out” in Russia what they can and can't do while in the U.S., government "beats around the bush.” "It bothers me. It ought to bother you all." he told the commissioners. “I don’t blame the board for what's going on but you all should see what it’s leading up to...The same thing that’s happening with zoning in Rappahannock County is going to bring about more trouble than we've ever seen." Tax Revolt He warned that individuals are going to get tired of owning land, playing taxes on it and then being told that they can't do anything with it.” Brown predicted that if this situation continues, the next 30 or 40 years will see people refusing to pay taxes. He also maintained that sooner or later, some other land owner along Route 211 is going to apply for a commercial rezoning and if turned down, will sue the county. He added that he wasn't bothered by a denial of the rezoning application, that the construction yard was his son’s venture. "They’re making the right decision not to start it,” Donald Brown told his father. Noting that he too was alarmed by this country's ever growing bureaucracy. Fannon cautioned that without zoning laws, "you will see taxes in Rappahannock County that you wouldn't believe you would ever see in your lifetime." Miller acknowledged that a fine line exists between personal property rights and the rights of government to regulate development for the good of the community as a whole. “1 wish everyone who came before this board was as reasonable as you folks," he told the Browns. The vote w as unanimous to recommend that the supervisors deny the rezoning application. "Mr. Brown, you've given us something to think about." chairman Herbert Barksdale concluded. Down Zoning Approved In other action, the commissioners gave unanimous approval to RappSki Limited's request to down zone approximately 225 acres in Harris Hollow from commercial to residential subdivision. The application was tabled following a public hearing last week in order to answer legal questions raised on the advisibility of rezoning property to a category that is currently being challenged in a pending court case. On Tuesday. Washington attorney and acting zoning administrator Sharon Genebach Luke noted that the county has asked the court to rule on the validity of the zoning ordinance's residential subdivision (RS-1) section as it relates to the Nationwide Pentacostal Evangelistic Association's property. According to Luke, the NPEA’s position is that the RS-I category is invalid because it lists no uses allowed either by right or with a special permit. If the court agrees with that argument, she said, the decision will apply, in effect, to all residential subdivision property in the county. This would clear the way for landowners to carry out any type of use on parcels zoned RS-I. Luke said. If the zoning administrator orsupervisors attempted to enforce ordinance controls, they would probably be blocked by the court’s decision if the residential subdivision section is ruled invalid, she said. If the residential subdivision zone is thrown out. Luke said she hclieved property in that category will become unzoned. Miller recalled that the planning commission had recommended adoption of an ordinance amendment last year adding uses listed by right and with a special permit for residential subdivision zones. The proposal was tabled by the supervisors, however, pending resolution of the NPEA litigation. Supervisor chairman E. P. Luke, also a member of the planning commission, emphasized that the supervisors will not act on the proposed amendment until the court case is resolved. Miller maintained that it would be safer to rezone the ski area property and have the supervisors enact the RSI amendment as soon as the court rules. He added that he w as only in favor of rezoning to RS-I while the category was "in flux" because the action on the ski area property will constitute down zoning. Since it's down zoning, he maintained, approval of RappSki's request will not set a precedent that other landowners can cite to have their property put in RS-I. "I see the risk involved." he said, but if someone should apply for a rezoning from agriculture, for instance, to RS-I, the commissioners could ask the supervisors to Virginia Gold Cup Race Saturday The Virginia steeplechase circuit will end it's 1481 spring season with the 56th running of the Virginia Cold Cup Saturday. May 2 at Broadview Farm near Warrenton. The program will include the feature, a four mile 22 fence timber race considered the ultimate endurance test in Virginia. This event will draw the leading steeplechasers from across the country to run for the coveted Gold Cup which will be presented by Mrs. Tyler Wilson. The final leg of the H.B.L. Porsche-Audi hurdle series will also be run with the winner receiving $20,000 in prize money donated by Washington area PorscheAudi dealers. This final event of a three race series will bring top hurdle horses to the start in the two mile brush race. These competitors will have already accumulated points at Middleburg and Foxfield and the horse earning the most points over the series will be determined the winner. In addition to the God Cup timber race and the PorscheAudi hurdle series, the card includes the First Colony Life Insurance Company Plate, the final event of the season series, the Stratford-UponAvon maiden hurdle race, the Captain. J.L.B. Bentley Memorial race, which is a one mile, seven furlong hurdle race and the Virginia Thoroughbred Association flat race. Post time for the first race is 1:30 p.m. but spectators are urged to arrive early due to the usual traffic delays caused by this well attended event. The gates will he opened as early as 10 a.m. for picnics and general admission tickets may be purchased at the gate. immediately adopt the amendment with uses by right and special uses for residential subdivision. Ag District Okayed In a third unanimous vote, the planning commissioners on Tuesday recommended that the supervisors approve an agricultural and forestal district located between Washington and Sperryville with the bulk of the land in Gid Brown Hollow. The district includes approximately 3,500 acres owned by 26 individuals and one partnership. In their recommendation, the commissioners upped the time for which the district will be set up from four years suggested by the Agricultural and Forestal District Advisory Committee to the eight year maximum allowed by enabling legislation. In addition, they added a provision borrowed from Fauquier County's - ag districts prohibiting subdivisions as defined by Rappahannock's zoning and subdivision ordinances. Property owners in an ag district are eligible for land use taxation whether or not the county has adopted a use value taxation ordinance. Col. Luke pointed out. however, that membership in an ag district isn’t all that's necessary to qualify for preferential tax treatment. Property owners must still meet land use criteria on parcel size, productivity and history of agricultural use. Historical .

While spending time in the 7th District during the Easter recess of Congress. I was asked by earnest and sincere citizens how I could support in good conscience substantial proposed reductions in federal spending when some of the effects would be cutbacks in worthwhile social services, postponement of needed public facility improvements and the loss of jobs by some workers whose salaries were being paid, in whole or in part, from federal funds. My basic reply has been that I am convinced of the necessity of moving firmly to cut federal spending now and in the years immediately ahead if we are to have any real chance of curbing inflation. avoiding a general economic calamity and blanking out the hope of an improving way of life for all citizens, which has sustained and motivated Americans through so many generations. How can we avoid facing the disastrous consequences of such trends as these: an increase in federal spending per average household of 4b percent over the past four years: an increase in federal personal taxes on the average family by nearly a quadruple degree in 15 years; a-decrease in average weekly earnings—after taxes and inflation—of more than 14 percent since 1972; a national savings rate, over a three-year period, at the lowest rate in .10 years: a ranking of the U. S. at the bottom of the major industrial democracies as to savings and investment? The President's program of federal budget and tax cuts will not solve all of our Superintendent Wants Educational Priorities (Continued from Rage 1) atmosphere drew him to Rappahannock. “I wanted to be a superintendent and I wanted to start in a small division that would give me an opportunity for first-hand knowledge of the nuts and bolts involved in the job.” Coming from a relatively rural area in New York. Fst■ brook said he "prefers the more personal approach to administration this type of system allows for." After four years in Virginia, he also wanted to stay in the state. "I like what you call ‘the Virginia way.' " he said, citing as an example the state's avoidance of collective bargaining by public employees. He recalled that he'd been an assistant principal in New York when teachers in his school system went on strike. “It was a very strained environment... Here, you don't have that feeling of two armed camps with the teachers at one end of the pole and the administration at the other." Low Percentage Continue According to statistics from the State Department of Education. Rappahannock's school system last year had the second lowest percentage in the state of graduates continuing education, with only 25.7 per cent of the 1980 graduating class attending college. By comparison, neighboring systems sent from .15.6 per cent in Orange to 59.2 per cent in Warren. The school board here has repeatedly expressed concern over the low percentage of RCHS's graduates going on to higher education. Asked how he plans to address this problem. Estabrook replied that “I’m not sure it is a problem." He stressed the importance of youngsters learning what options they have after graduation. Students, particularly those who are more academically oriented, need to explore career opportunities and should be encouraged to utilize their potential. Estabrook indicated. At the same time, they should be informed of the heartaches involved with some of the more prestigious professions, he said, noting the high rate of alcoholism among doctors and lawyers. “We must present students with meaningful choices but I believe they should opt for being happy. It’s perfectly acceptable for an extremely bright person to choose to be a cabdriver if that’s what makes them happy." Estabrook said. Options after graduation should be sorted out with family, guidance staff and various people the student trusts. according to Estabrook. If school per sonnet are not informing students of the choices open lo them and encouraging students with higher intelligence to consider college, "then I'd be concerned." he said. “But if students are being informed and prepared and they're not choosing college, then I'm _ not worried." F.stabrook explained. adding that he is ready to encourage but not to coerce a student into pursuing higher education. Less Time For Basics “There’s a very real timetask problem in public education right now." Fstabrook said, noting the declining scores on standardized achievement and intelligence tests. The amount of time schools are opened hasn't changed— students go to classes six hours a day for nine months out of the year—"and yet the tasks have increased considerably." he said. "We've been asked to continue teaching the basics, even to give them added emphasis." At the same time, teachers are also expected to deal with topics such as drugs, sex and environmental education. death and dying—"it goes on and on....I have no quarrel with these causes." he emphasized. As long as more and more children become involved with drugs, as long as younger and younger girls become pregnant and as long as this society continues to have problems in coming to grips with death. “1 can’t debate the need for any of these things but we're running out of hours in the school day for teaching." Estabrook maintained. Most school divisions haven't taken time "to genuinely set priorities." he said. “We can't do all things well.” Either schools must try to cover everything without going into great depth in any one area, on said Estabrook. “we have to decide if we believe in ‘back to basics' enough to eliminate art. music, physical education, drug and sex education." He maintained that piling on responsibility for teaching more than just the basics "relates in some way to all the problems we're having with reading." Asked where he would place priorities. Estabrool; stressed that the decisior belonged to the community not to him. Responding to increased federal and state mandates in special education. Estabrook said that “it goes without saying that we have an obligation to handicapped students." He objected, however, to standards imposed by legislators, particularly on class size. "I understand the intent of limits on class size but built into the concept is someone’s idea of what kind of instruction will take place...I want children served in the most effective way possible but I'm not sure that numbers should be the deciding factor." "Competency testing is another example. It won't accomplish what the legislators intended. " Fstabrook maintained, in part because the test is designed at a much lower achievement level than the ninth grade skills it purports to measure. The legislators "might better be more concerned with improved ways of evaluating what's happening in the classroom day to day," he suggested. j Fstabrook balked, however, at using merit based pay as a tool to improve education. "Teaching is more art than science. A merit based approach is only fair if teaching is more science than art." he said, adding that there is no measurable basis to evaluate teacher performance. "The whole concept of fairness is very important to me." Fstabrook said, describing merit pay for teachers as "arbitrary at best." On the subject of fairness, he noted he would apply the concept to teachers, administrators. students, parents—and to the school board. “That doesn't mean that you’re indecisive or that you become a 'yes man' but you must make every attempt to be fair minded” and that includes trying to see the viewpoint of school board members and the pressures they must contend with, he addedStudent Responsibility With only a half day spent at the elementary school and no time yet at RCHS. Fstabrook declined to comment specifically on (Continued on Page 10) economic jjlUl/icnn.

During the recent inspection that resulted from Mrs. Ellis’ complaint. OSHA representatives expressed concern about an antikickback device missing from the radial arm saw. If the radial arm saw is adjusted for “ripping.” cutting with instead of across the grain, the anti-kickback device will stop a board from coming back at the operator, according to Von Fange. But the industrial arts saw that Renee Ellis was operating is Building? •Paint ♦Lumber f •MiHwork • •Hardware Complete One-Step BUILDING SUPPLY Warrenton Building Material Co., Inc. on the By-Pass Warrenton 347-1400 never used for ripping, he emphasized, only for cross cutting. And in cross cutting, claws on the anti-kickback attachment get in the way of the blade, creating rather than eliminating a safety hazard. Von Fange maintained. In addition, he said, students have a habit of grabbing hold of the antikickback device to move the radial arm saw instead of using controls intended for that purpose. “We took it off for safety reasons," he emphasized. Dennis added that OSHA inspectors also wanted a spring device installed that will move the radial saw back automatically after cutting. He maintained that this would create an additional safety hazard because it would require that pressure, be maintained at all times to keep the saw in place. “It's great for an assembly line but this shop machinery is used for teaching.” Dennis said. The lower guard that Mrs. Ellis wants to see attached to the radial arm saw will also catch on the backstop against which wood is placed for cutting, as Dennis demonstrated during the interview. Driven by a three horse power motor, the blade turns at approximately 5,000 revolutions per minute, the building trades teacher pointed out. With the lower guard in place, this creates [ivitui *FbrtnUt< in oiUOyasteCs bu 9'JatruiMoort3tnnett~' TutepcUmaCQidury -modestcur Writt the eniit -‘T.OStxyc 415 Trent 'RoypC 22630 PRlCt IMCRtASt-JUNt wui L Roof Repair Service SLATE ASBESTOS SEAMED METAL BUILT-UP ROOF Guttering Roofs Painted All types of Repair Mauck’s Roof Repair Front Royal, Va. 635-3692 or 636-6581 the possibility for a piece of wood being grabbed and thrown back traveling 100 or 200 miles per hour at a student, according to Dennis. The anti-kickback device designed for use in ripping doesn't help prevent this type of accident while cross cutting, he added. "They haven’t yet invented an attachment to prevent kickbacks on a radial arm saw when it's used for cross cutting.'' Dennis continued. Despite the dangers involved with its operation. Von Fange described the radial arm saw as "the most useful machine in this shop.” “The idea of industrial arts is not to remove all dangers but to train the students how to deal with them." Dennis added. With that in mind, both instructors stress safety precautions. Every student in Von Fange's class is required to write and study a list of safety rules at the beginning of the term. The students sign the lists, attesting to their familiarity with the rules, and the instructor keeps the signed sheets on field. “Every test I give includes three or four safety rules for shop so that the students keep thinking about them." Dennis said. “Paying attention is 99 percent of safety." He maintained that shop students know more about safety than the average professional using the same machinery will ever learn. “If we didn't preach safety, we would be negligent. And it's preaching too! We pound it into them at every opportunity.” Dennis said. In the formal complaint that Mrs- Ellis filed with OSHA, she cited lack of venilation in the paint room, protruding electrical outlets in desk areas and many other unsafe conditions. The shop teachers pointed to a large wall fan in the paint room as proof that the room does have venilation. They acknowledged that until recently, the venilating fan would operate only if the heat was on but noted that it has now been adjusted to run independently of the heating system. This action was taken, they stressed, in response to their complaints. Von Fange also noted that he has insulated the protruding electrical outlets in the desk area so that students no longer receive mild shocks. “The outlets are dormant now but to remove them, we need an electrician." he said. As to other safety hazards. Von Fange reported that OSHA inspectors talked about the need for magnetic switches on all machinery. In case of an emergency, newly installed “panic buttons” can be Used to turn off shop equipment- But when power is restored machines that were on when the panic button was hit continue operating. Magnetic switches automatically keep the power off until individual machines are turned back on after power is restored. Only four of the shop's 13 machines have magnetic switches, according to Von Fange. Dennis added that the safety switches will cost approximately S200 per machine. Von Fange said he would like to have an electric brake installed on the radial arm saw. He demonstrated that once the off switch or the panic button is thrown, it takes two minutes and SO seconds for the blade to stop rotating. For at least a minute and a half, the speed is sufficient for cutting through a finger or hand. In addition, the absence of motor sound adds to the chance that a student may carelessly touch the blade, according to Von Fange. An electric brake stops the blade Herb Class Set For May 6 The Virginia Cooperative Extension Service will offer an herb class on May 6 from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Farm Credit Building in Warrenton across from the Northern Virginia Shopping Center—West.

Ordinance Revisions (Continued tom Page 1) county” may be allowed by right with all other uses by special permit. To cover flood plain areas, he suggested an “overlay zone” based on soil types. “Nothing should be allowed in flood plain except by special permit within a village.” McNear emphasized. Rural R—id—tfad In agricultural zones with slopes predominantly under 14 per cent grade, minimum lot size should be one dwelling unit per 25 acres unless the property is rezoned to a “rural residential" zone where the maximum density b one unit per five acres. McNear continued. The increased density should not be allowed by right, he cautioned, suggesting that other factors be taken into consideration. For instance, he said, if a landowner with 100 acres seeks a rezoning to rural residential, the planning commission should determine if any portions of the parcel are over 14 per cent slope or contain areas that are particularly sensitive to environmental damage, such as an aquafcr recharge. Those portions should be subtracted from the 100 acres in figuring allowable lots which may end up leaving the landowner with an overall density of one dwelling unit per 10 acres instead of one per five. Streets serving rural residential subdivisions should continue to be built to state highway department specifications, according to McNear. Private streets should be allowed only in zones with a minimum lot size of at least 25 acres, he said, adding that lots on private streets should be covenanted to allow resubdivision only with permission from the governing body. The revised zoning ordinance may also include special zoning districts such as "stream valley protection.” historic and scenic categories. McNear told the commissioners. In another major departure from the county's current zoning regulations, McNear will differentiate in the draft ordinance between uses allowed by special permit and those authorized by special exception. Special permits for uses with a neighborhood impact are proposed to be issued by the board of zoning appeals. Uses with a countywide environmental or socioeconomic impact will be granted by the board of supervisors with a special exception permit. According to McNear. applications for special exception permits will be evaluated on the basb of more definitive criteria and will be required to meet additional standards for each proposed use. For yean, the county has relied on rezoning as its primary tool for land use planning and development control. Miller, an outspoken advocate of this approach, acknowledged that the inflexibility of rezoning has caused many of the county’s development related problems over the past four or five years. Now, he said, he favors regulating development through special use and exception permits instead. McNear pointed out that unlike approval of rezoning, granting a special permit doesn't set a precedent for future development. “With a special excpetion permit (that can be granted for a specified period) you're looking at approval at a given point in time...What’s suitable now may not be suitable five years from now,” he noted. In another departure from current regulations, the draft ordinance will require site plans. possibly both preliminary and final, for aO commercial, industrial and multi-family uses allowed by right and by special use and special exception permits. “A site plan’s purpose is to ensure compliance with your regulations—nothing else,” McNear told the commissioners. Site plans may be required to show existing contours, finished contours, front sight elevation, parking, deacceleration lanes, landscaping—all aspects of the proposed development. “But you don't want to make the applicant spend an exhorbitant amount of money just to be told no!’’ McNear cautioned. He suggested that the commissioners allow some flexibility on which provisions of a site plan may be required and which may be waived. Rappahannock has enough tots on record, filed before zoning and subdivision ordinance regulations were first adopted, to raise the county’s population four, five, even six times over. Many of the lots are unusable because the property won’t pass a percolation taste for septic field sewage disposal. This development control may be lifted, however, should the General Assembly approve new Health Department regulations that allow alternative sewage systems. With this in mind. Miller asked if anything* could be done to control* these existing lots. The county may require that all lots front on a road maintained by the Virginia Department of Highways, according to McNear. In addition, he said, if a boundary line on a nonconforming lot is changed "one iota”, this can constitute a resubdivision with the result that the property owner must comply with all current zoning regulations. McNear said. Repeatedly. McNear emphasized that changes incorporated in the draft ordinance are only suggestions and not final proposals. “It's not what I’m recommending. It's not what you’re recommending.’* he told the planners. “It's an attempt to get things moving in the right direction.” MRS.

Talley Brings Them Back Alive With Taxidermy By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON nannikinork N«w» Staff Writer Rick Talley has brought the outdoors inside to his living room in the little cottage he rents back in Harris Hollow. In a scene from a Walt Disney cartoon, two squirrels scamper up a wall while a crow wearing a bright blue bow around its neck perches on the bookcase it shares with a mallard and another squirrel. On the tall kitchen divider, a second crow spreads its wings, ready to take off. There are no squeaks; quacks, chatters and caws from this array of wildlife. All pause silently, captured lifelike by Rick’s skill as a taxidermist. Nineteen-year-old Talley’s work is an example of the ingenuity many young people have shown in creating career opportunities in the country. He also illustrates the difficulties of trying to fit round pegs into the square holes of a rigidly structured educational system. Originally from Atlanta, Ga., Rick moved here with his parents three years ago and enrolled at Rappahannock County High School. Problems arose when a part-time job that called for late hours began to interfere with school. Suspended for truancy, Rick was told that he had to sign a contract, agreeing to pay S10 for every day he missed without a doctor’s note as a condition for reinstatement. “On top of that, they were SQUIRRELS scampering up the wall give Rick Talley’s living room some of the atmosphere of a Walt Disney cartoon. going to take three points off my grade average for the days I wasn’t there, including the days I missed because they suspended me!” Rick recalled, still indignant more than a year later. “That was like sacrificing everything. I told them to forget it. I never did go back. It was crazy!” Leasons For Work But in Rappahannock County, or anywhere for that matter, professional opportunities for a high school drop-out are limited. Rick took the only avenue open, picking up odd jobs here and there as a handy man. He remembers exactly the conversation that steered him off that dead end road. Tommy Fleming, a weekend county resident from Annapolis, Md., asked Rick if he was interested in hunting and fishing. “Yes, 1 really like it,” Rick recalls answering. “Then he told me I ought to be a taxidermist. So I decided to give it a try.” Fleming was Talley’s teacher. “I exchanged hours working on his fence line for hours of taxidermy lessons. It was a piece of cake,” Rick said, smiling widely. “I picked it up in my spare time.” Judging from the lifelike mounts in his living room, Talley has mastered the art with^ittle practice. Complimented on his work, he protests over and over again, insisting that it’s simple to stuff an animal. Maybe it is for Rick Talley—he certainly makes taxidermy sound easy. “The first thing you do is Flint Hill Area News Notes Lynn Lillard of Alexandria spent from Sunday until Tuesday with Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hickerson.

After only a year of practice, he’s creating mounts like the mallard in his hand that looks alive enough to fly away. wipe off the blood marks. Then you bring it home and put it in your freezer in a plastic bag,” he said, laughing at the squeamish response to the idea of a dead animal lying on top of the frozen broccoli and hamburger. “It will keep up to six months so there’s no hurry to get it to a taxidermist." While the raw material is stored conveniently in the freezer, Rick checks through stacks of catalogs for the eyes he must order. Styrofoam bodies are also available but Talley generally chooses to make his own body forms from woodswool. "It's much cheaper. Woodswool is like wood shavings. You squeeze it all together and shape it kind of like modeling clay," he explained. . , *Tta«n comes the hard pa*V at least for folks ‘vvftb Ti'av? * difficulty in cutting “tfp“ a * store-bought whole chicken. Rick makes an incision up the center of the animal from its tail to the tip of its nose. Out come the insides and in goes calorax, a white powder preservative that must be sprinkled over all surfaces. “Next, I cut off the back of the skull and take out the brain,” Rick continued, grinning again at the involuntary shivers his discription produced in his listeners. “I fill in the brain and the eyes with clay and pull the skin back over.” With a wire pushed through the center of the body mold, Rick guides it into the skin. For a squirrel, a wire goes into each leg right through the bottom of the foot. Instead of using a mold to simulate muscles, pick wraps string around leg bones which have been stripped of flesh and treated with calorax. First the front legs and then the back are slipped into the skin and connected to the body mold. A wire goes through the squirrel’s tail and also connects to the mold. With everything in place, out comes the needle and thread to sew the skin back up. “You position the squirrel on a log. Then the last thing you do is stick in the eyes. And 'they’re nothing! See how easy it is?” Squirrels take five wires, birds only three unless they’re to be stuffed with outstretched wings. For deer, Talley orders the stuffings rather than making a form from woodswool. He takes measurements from nose to eyes, nose to the back of the skull and circumference of the neck, then picks out a style. "The mistake people make with deer is to cut the skin off right behind the ears. That leaves the taxidermist nothing to work with. A taxidermist isn't some kind of magician,” Rick added. JL*..

Cats and dogs? “Yep, they’re in there too. I’ve never done one but I guess 1 could. Mounting a dog would be the same as doing a squirrel. If you know how to do a chipmunk, you can do anything up to an elk or a bear. It’s the same principle. If you can do a chickadee, you can do an ostrich,” he explained.

For the time being, he runs his taxidermy shop from his bedroom. “It really isn’t messy,” he quickly added. Taxidermy shares space on Rick’s desk with school work from a correspondence course he’s taking in conservation. The lessons emphasize forest and game management. An avid hunter and outdoor enthusiast all his life, Rick hopes to tie a career directly to his interests. “I want to have two things going at once. I’d like to be a part-time forest ranger or game warden and a taxidermist both.” With the possibility of employment with the game commission or forestry division, he’s also studying for his high school equivalency exam, a requirement for state jobs. To date, Rick has stuffed animals and birds for himself and for friends but plans to hang out his shingle soon for regular business. “I have to get a taxidermy license first. It costs $25 and the license year runs from June to June. There’s not much sense in getting one now,” he explained with an eye to economy. “By fall, I hope to be ready to do mounts as a business.” In the meantime, he pays the rent and buys groceries with odd and end farm jobs, right now pruning apple trees for his landlord, Capt. George Sharp. By tailoring his lifestyle Jo a limited budget, he^Teaves himself plenty of time to pursue his first loves, hunting and fishing. The friend who taught him taxidermy is also giving him lessons with a bow and arrow. When deer season opens this fall, Rick plans to leave his rifle at home and take to the hills with his 45pound bow. “You’ve got to be like a log in the woods to use a bow and arrow. I'm learning but it offers a lot more challenge than a rifle,” he said. Relaxed, .self-assured and undismayed by the obstacles he confronts, Rick Talley is tackling archery with the same determination he shows ’ in mastering taxidermy or a correspondence course in conservation. He’ll probably bag his limit on opening day. Washington News Mrs. C. N. Eanes and Jennifer of Martinsville spent from Tuesday until Thursday last week with Mr. and Mrs. Rex Lindstrom.

Marshall F eeder Sale Reflects Price Drop The April series of sales sponsored by the Marshall Feeder Cattle Association realized prices generally lower than the 1980 spring vendues, but in view of the current state of the cattle market the return was considered satisfactory. Approximately 100 cattle producers. from Fauquier. Loudoun. Rappahannock and the Shenandoah Valley sold 3,037 graded feeder steers and heifers for a total of $1,216,544. compared with 3.028 sold for SI.276.809 in the 1980 spring offering. Animals averaged S40I this year compared with $422 last year, a decline of 5 percent. John Berna. MFCA. president, commented that the reduction reflects the generally lower cattle prices and a three-pound-peranimal decline in average weight. Steers weighed an average of 646 pounds and returned $447 per head or $69.14 per hundredweight, versus 656 pounds. $460 per head and $70.04 per cwt. in 1980. Heifers had an average weight of 568 pounds, providing consignor-owners with an average of $315 per head or $55.40 per cwt. A year ago heifer averages were ,564 pounds. $347 per head and $61.62 per cwt. The majority of the cattle sold to feedlot operators in Pennsylvania. Buyers also came from the Mid-West, Maryland. Delaware and Virginia. Berna said that despite lower prices he believed the 17 sponsored-sale concept of combining area producers’ cattle into large sale lots according to weight, breed, sex and grade provides consignor-members with improved returns. Other factors contributing to the sales’ success are modern uniform pre-sale vaccination and handling procedures. He commended the association's board for. its constant review and upgrading of sale standards and consignor-members for their management practices and adherence to these principles in providing buyers with quality feedlot cattle 1 <ipspite the econorou: pinch —Rappahannock New* Photo/S.

The County of Rappahannock finds that the preservation of real estate devoted to agricultural, horticultural, forest and open space uses within its boundaries is in the public interest and, having heretofore adopted a land-use plan, hereby ordains that such real estate shall be taxed in accordance with the provisions of Article 1.1 of Chapter 15 of Title 58 of the Code of Virginia and this ordinance. SS 2. (a) The owner of any real estate meeting the criteria set forth *n SS SS 58-769.5 and 58-769.7(b) of the Code of Virginia may, at least 60 days preceding the tax year for which such taxation is sought, apply to the Commissioner of the Revenue of Rappahannock County for the classification, assessment and taxation is sought, apply to the Commissioner of the Revenue of Rappahannock County for the classification, assessment and taxation of such property for the next succeeding tax year on the basis of its use, under the procedures set forth in SS 58-769.9 of the Code of Virginia. (In any year in which a general reassessment is being made such application may be submitted until 30 days have elapsed after the notice of increase in assessment is mailed.) Such application shall be on forms provided by the State Department of Taxation and supplied by the Commissioner of the Revenue of Rappahannock County and shall include such additional schedules, photographs, and drawings as may be required by the Commissioner of the Revenue of Rappahannock County. An individual who is the owner of an undivided interest in a parcel may apply on behalf of himself and the other owners of such parcel upon submitting an affidavit that such other owners are minors or cannot be located. An application shall be submitted whenever the use or acreage of such land previously approved changes; provided, however, that such property owner must revalidate annually with the Commissioner of the Revenue of Rappahannock County any applications previously approved. An application fee of fifty dollars ($50.00) plus $0.15 per acre pflartd for which preferential assessment Is sought shall accompany each application. (b) A separate application shall be filed for each parcel on the land book. SS 3. Promptly upon receipt of any application, the Commissioner of the Revenue of Rappahannock County shall determine whether the subject property meets the criteria for taxation hereunder. If the Commissioner of the Revenue of Rappahannock County determines that the subject property does not meet such criteria, she shall determine the value of such property for its qualifying use, as well as its fair market value. In determining whether the subject property meets the criteria for "agricultural use" or "horticultural use" the Commissioner of the Revenue of Rappahannock County may request an opinion from the Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services; in determining whether the subject property meets the criteria for "forest use" she may request an opinion from the Director of the Department of Conservation and Economic Development; and in determining whether the subject property meets the criteria for "open space" she may request an opinion from the Director of the Commission of Outdoor. Recreation. Upon the refusal of the Commissioner of the Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Director of the Department of Conservation and Economic Development or the Director of the Commission of Outdoor Recreation to issue an opinion, or in the event of an unfavorable opinion which does not comport with standards set forth by the respective director, the party aggrieved may seek relief from .any court of record wherein the real estate in question is located. If the court finds in his favor it may issue an order which shall serve in lieu of an opinion for the purposes of this ordinance. The applicant for land use shall provide all information necessary for approval and processing of the application. Said information shall include relevant data from the local Extension Service, Soil Conservation Service and/or Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Services offices. SS 4. The use value and fair market value of any qualifying property shall be placed on the land book before delivery to the treasurer and the tax for the next succeeding tax year shall be extended from the use value. SS 5. There is hereby imposed a roll-back tax, and interest thereon, in such amounts as may be determined under Virginia Code SS 58-769.10, upon any property as to which the use changes to a nonqualifying use. SS 6. (a) The owner of any real estate liable for roll-back taxes shall, within sixty days following a change in use, report such change to the Commissioner of the Revenue or other assessing officer on such forms as may be prescribed. The commissioner shall forthwith determine and assess the roll-back tax, which shall be paid to the treasurer within thirty days of assessment. On failure to report within 60 days following such change in use and/or failure to pay within 30 days of assessment such owner shall be liable for an additional penalty equal to ten per centum of the amount of the roll-back tax and interest, which penalty shall be collected as a part of the tax. In addition to such penalty, there is hereby imposed interest of one-half per centum of the amount of the rollback tax, interest and penalty, for each month or fraction thereof during which the failure continues. (b) Any person making a material misstatement of fact in any application filed pursuant hereto shall be liable for all taxes, in such amounts and at such times as if Such property had been assessed on the basis of fair market value as applied to other real estate in the taxing jurisdiction, together with interest and penalties thereon, and he shall be further assessed with an additional penalty of one hundred per centum of such unpaid taxes. SS 7. The provisions of Title 58 of the Code of Virginia applicable to local levies and real estate assessment and taxation shall be applicable to assessments and taxation hereunder mutatis mutandis including, without limitation, provisions relating to tax liens and the correction of erroneous assessments, and for such purposes the roll-back taxes shall be considered to be deferred real estate taxes.

Newbill Miller Realtor 703-675*3691 School Superintendent (Continued from Page 4) discipline since he’s unfamiliar with the situation here. In general terms, however, he emphasized the necessity of giving students the right to be responsible. "I'm not saying that naything goes, but students, teachers AND administrators need room to be responsible” rather than limiting responsibility with "an exhaustive list of do's and don'ts.” Estabrook said. “I’m firmly convinced that the vast majority of students will respond to reason, fairness and firmness." As regards in-school suspension as a discipline tool. Estabrook said its usefulness would depend on "the philosophy of parents toward education and discipline.” He reported that two of Wythe County’s three high schools have no in-house suspension program. Students attending the high school in the western end of the county are primarily from farm families of GermanLutheran descent, he said. The youngsters get "firm direction at home", and as a result, the high school has very few discipline cases. "There’s no in-house suspension...There's no particular need for any sort of suspension." Estabrook said. Students at the high school in the eastern section come predominantly from families involved with the county's lead mining industry. “They’re no less proud of their children and they don't love them any less but they seem to have a different attitude towards discipline. There's less parental guidance." Estabrook said. The principal, however, is a .W-year veteran who is “very, very strict" and is backed up by an experienced assistant principal who shares his philosophy. "There’s not much of a suspension problem there either. It’s a very tightly run high school." Estabrook reported. He noted that the eastern high school has a 97 per cent attendance rate. “If a youngster isn’t in school, the assistant principal is out on the road to find out why. They take the position that if you’re not in school, you ean't learn...It’s a ‘a» monkey business' attitude." Estabrook said. The largest of the county's three high schools located in the town of Wytheville has a diverse student body with a high percentage the children of professionals, according to Estabrook. This school has an in-house suspension program. I^LdUIUUK UCV1IIICU IU gIVC unqualified support to inschool suspension. To determine whether it would be beneficial, the school board must consider (I) what parents are doing or not doing at home. (2) the style of the administration and teacher attitudes and management and (.1) the students themselves. “You must look at peer influence." F.stabrook explained. "Strong, healthy student leadership can solve many kinds of student misbehavior." The cost of instituting an in-house suspension program should be a minor consideration. according to Fstabrook. ‘‘Education should have top priority...If in-school suspension is what's best (for helping students to learn), then let's do it. But if old fashioned suspension gets the job done, then we should stick with that.'* he maintained. Group Vs. Individual And while in-house suspension may be the answer in one or two particular instances. Estabrook added, an educational program must fit the majority. He acknowledged that education is designed “to serve the individual student" but stressed that this in: dividualized approach is not always possible in public school systems also charged with “the education of the masses." Those responsible must decide “at what point do we stop accommodating the individual and do what is best for the group?" Estabrook said. As an example, he questioned the feasibility of offering advanced science and math classes with enrollments of only four or five students. “In house suspension falls in that category. It's not simple business." he said. Asked how he would attack the alarmingly high turn-over rate in teachers here. Estabrook replied that he would begin with making “sound curriculum decisions ... Teachers need to know what's expected of them in terms of curriculum. In essence it’s the teacher’s job to carry out the curriculum." he said. It should be adopted with input from teachers, parents and administrators and not be left up to text book publishers. Estabrook maintained. A thoroughly planned and well conceived curriculum “gives continuity to your program even if you can't avoid a certain amount of turn-over." he added. He also stressed the need for making a substantial commitment to in-service training to give teachers a thorough understanding of curriculum and its implementation. "It's difficult for any school system to be rated top notch with an excessive turnover." Estabrook said. He declined, however, to define excessive. “I don’t want to tie it to a percentage.” he said, maintaining that's important to look at who’s leaving as well as how many. “Numbers have relevance but a five percent turn-over can be tremendously damaging if you're losing your leaders, the teachers that other teachers look to for help and guidance." Estabrook explained. Aa an example, be recalled a year as basketball coach when he lost four starters off his championship team to graduation. No one thought the team would do well the following season. “But I had my floor leader back." Estabrook said. With just that single starter returning, the team repeated its victories of the previous year. Judging from his experience as a basketball player and a coach, and the ranking of tennis and golf at the top of his list of hobbies, it s obvious that athletics play an important part in r coufiTGr flOAC/ ROBERT METCALFE GENERAL CONTRACTOR New Homes •Cabins •Additions •Remodeling Box 147 Flint Hill, Va. 22627 703*675*3897 LAND & DWELLINGS REMOTE, RUSTIC cabin on 3 wooded acres.

He played under Tony Drago, former assistant coach at Duke University, and then had Drago as an athletic director when he began coaching. Estabrook also spent three summers as coach at summer camps sponsored by Oscar Robertson, one of basketball's all time greats. But Rappahannock's new superintendent has no plans to become involved in basketball or any other sport at RCHS except as an enthusiastic and supportive fan. The temptation to do more may be great but Estabrook is sure he can resist. In his first year as principal in New York, the school's basketball team didn't win a single game all season under a rookie coach. Estabrook was there in the bleachers for every contest and noticed a long list of things he would have done differently. “But I kept my mouth shut." he concluded, with a wide grin.
