Land Use Advocates Outnumber Opponents At Public Hearing By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON lUppahawocfc Newi Staff Writer Advocates of county-wide use value taxation outMumbared oppcnsnU at the board of supervisors’ public hearing on land use held last Thursday in the elementary school auditorium. Supervisor chairman E. P. Luke was the only speaker clearly against enactment of the proposed use value ordinance. "I'm not saying anyone’s going to be taxed out of their house but we’re moving in that direction,” he said, maintaining that adoption of land use will shift the tax burden unfairly onto house and lot owners. “The basis of a tax on land is demand for services," argued Sperryville attorney Bill Fletcher, noting that farm land creates no service demand. “Land use taxation isn’t the ultimate goal for stopping growth but it deters it...Try it,” he suggested to the supervisors. “See what happens and how it affects the people," Fletcher recommended, adding that the supervisors can always revoke land use if it impacts too heavily on small lot and house owners. VPI specialist Paxton Marshall led off the speakers on Thursday night explaining that with use value taxation, land is valued in accordance with its earnings as opposed to market price for speculative purposes. Enabling legislation for land use was passed by Virginia’s General Assembly in 1971 in response to the situation around urban areas where fair market value climbed much higher than earning power of land, according to Marshall. “Fair market value went up so high that a very high proportion of the net earnings of the land went into taxes, often in Cancer Goal $800 Away April 30, the official end of the Cancer Crusade’s annual fund drive, has passed with the Rappahannock unit $800 short of its fair share goal. To date, $2,500 has been received. The county is expected to contribute $3,300. Those who want to participate but haven’t been contacted by door-to-door volunteers may send tax deductible contributions to the chairman of this year's local Crusade, Mrs. Pat Giles, at Box 96, Washington, Va. 22747. excess ot 1UU percent ot the land’s annual earnings. There were cases where taxes were several times 100 poewta* «* the annual nr» ings,” Marshall noted. Land use is an attempt to make “taxes relative in proportion to the earnings of the land,” he said. Little Open Space As of 1980, 47 of the 50 states provided for some type of preferential tax treatment for agricultural land, according to Marshall. Under Virginia’s enabling legislation, local government may allow land use on any or all of four categories of property—agricultural, horticultural, fbrestal and open space, Marshall pointed out that very little property in Virginia has qualified for use value taxation as open space. For land to qualify as open space, “it must meet a public purpose, be accessible to public use," generally under contract to a local agency, Marshall said. After enactment of a local use value ordinance, landowners may voluntarily apply for the program with the commissioner of revenue. Criteria require a minimum of five acres for horticultural and agricultural categories and five year history of bonafide agricultural use. Land values for eight different soil types are recommended annually by a state land evaluation advisory committee working in conjunction with VPI and the state forestry division, Marshall said. He noted, however, that the commissioner of revenue does not have to follow the committee’s suggestions but may retain the values he or she deems appropriate. Taxes Deferred The difference between fair market tax and tax due under land use is deferred as long as the property remains in a qualifying use. For instance, Mr. Smith’s cattle farm is worth SI,000 an acre at fair market value. At a rate of $1 per $100 of assessed value, he would pay $10 per acre in tax. But based on its productive value, the worth of that same acre is $500 so that in a use value program, Mr. Smith's tax would be $5 at a rate of $1 per $100. The $5 difference between the two assessments is deferred as long as Mr. Smith keeps on farming. If he develops his farm into a subdivision, however, he would have to pay a rollback tax equal to the sum of the deferred taxes plus interest. The rollback period extends for the previous five years. If Mr. Smith has been in a use 'Vttlwr Matafimr program -4br six years, the deferred taxes from the first year are “forgiven,” that is striken from the tax books. Marshall emphasized that use value taxation applies only to land, not to any structures or buildings. A farm’s main dwelling, the lot the main dwelling sits on, tenant houses, bams and any other structures are assessed at fair market value. The extension specialist noted that there are no restraints on selling property in a use value program. “The land use tax runs with the land, not with the owner,” he said. He also noted that the use of property in the program may be changed “any day the owner chooses. Not Effective “Research study after research study after research study has shown that use value taxation taken alone in an effort to retain agricultural or forest land has not been a successful policy,” Marshall stated. Asked if a county interested in preserving farm land should adopt land use, he suggested a careful examination first for agricultural districts which require the landowner to make a commitment in return for preferential tax treatment. (While property owners in a use value program may pull out at any time, property owners in an agricultural and forestal district must contract with the county for a (specified period—between jfour and six years—in order to be eligible for land use assessments. All other criteria, including minimum parcel size, history in agricultural production and forestal significance also apply in ag districts. In addition, rollback taxes become due for the same five year period if property in an ag district is changed to a non-qualifying use.) According to Marshall, land use taxation was originally intended as a tool to preserve agricultural, forestal and open space land in urbanizing areas. It spread to rural counties as the result of tax shifts arising from the state’s requirement for 100 percent fair market value assessments. Many rural counties were underassessed but with houses and lots valued nearer the 100 percent mark than land, Marshall said. New 100 percent assessments in those localities increased land values by a much higher percentagethar “values fof houslw' tf explained, thereby providing impetus for land use taxation. Asked for the arguments in favor of a county-wide use value taxation ordinance over (Continued on Page 4) In Adjusted Budget School Board Leaves Raises, Hospitalization Benefits Intact By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock >«*** Staff ritcr The adjusted 1981-82 school budget leaves raises at 12.4 percent for the the first time, provides for partial payment of hospitalization premiums for all school employees. At Tuesday night's meeting, the board adopted a package adjustment proposed by Newbill Miller and Nancy Reeve to absorb the S89.100 cut from the school budget last week by the supervisors. Rather than reducing categories, the supervisors trimmed the bottom line from $2,278,586 to $2,189,486. suggesting that raises be kept at 10 percent in line with other county employees. "Buildings don't educate—teachers do! We must retain as good a teaching staff in this county as we can,” Miller said, in defense of the 12.4 percent salary increase. He added that if the supervisors had felt strongly about holding raises to 10 percent, they ' could have reduced the category which includes salaries for instructional personnel. Under the Miller-Reeve plan, the $89,100 cut by the supervisors will come from the following budget items: —$19,800 from gasoline. price at $1.50 for regular and $1.80 for unleaded instead of $1.80 and $2. Since the school board doesn't pay gas tax, the equivalent at-thepump price for the revised estimates is $1.63 for regular and $1.93 for unleaded. Youth Job Program To Gel $100,000 The Virginia Employment Commission’s CETAsponsored Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) will put 5,500 Virginia youth to work this summer, including 66 youngsters from Rappahannock and Fauquier counties. Federal Comprehensive Employment and Training Act funds will provide $8.15 million for VEC’s CETA summer work and training projects. Fauquier Community Action, Inc., will administer the $100,000 local program in Rappahannock and Fauquier. According to VEC’s Youth Programs Manager Harold Kretzer, SYEP is one of the few CETA programs that will be untouched by current budget cuts due to the Reagan administrations emphasis on youth employment. In fact, VEC will get approximately $600,000 more than had been allocated initially with CETA prime sponsors also receiving additional SYEP funds. The 14-to-21-year-old SYEP trainees will earn minimum wage ($3.35 per hour) and most will work a 40-hour week. Employers will include public and private non-profit organizations, such as local governments, schools, hospitals, libraries, museums, YMCAs and state and federal parks and recreation sites. According to Kretzer, SYEP emphasizes developing good work habits and gaining work experience. He stressed that SYEP supervisors are carefully chosen and that each supervisor is responsible for a small group of trainees. Participants also receive classroom training, mamy at community colleges where they can receive academic credit. In addition, the young people do some “job sampling,” visiting factories, private businesses and job sites in their areas. Other employment and training activities include counseling (both job and personal if needed), labor market information, job placement and job development. According to Kretzer, the majority of SYEP trainees will return to school in the fall. "Their summer employment provides them with the opportunity to explore different jobs, earn money on their own and to learn to manage money," Kretzer said. For further information on the Summer Youth Employment Program, contact the Virginia Employment Commission in Front Royal or any local VEC office. —$21,300 for one school bus. Superintendent William Bloomer indicated that there may be sufficient funds left in the current budget to buy a new replacement vehicle with this year’s money. —$6,000 for expansion of speech therapy services, eliminating the additional half-time position. —$2,248 from additional psychological services. —$7,000 from architects fees anticipated for the high school building program. —$20,340 from adjustments to Social Security contributions. As explained by the superintendent, the employers share for Title I employees, included for the first time this year with the regular budget, was counted twice by error. (The Title I program for disadvantaged students is paid for with federal flow through funds.) In addition. Social Security for cafeteria workers was also subtracted since the cafeteria is a totally self-supporting program, according to the superintendent. — $1,250 for the unqualified audit of cafeteria and activity funds. —$4,658 from employers contrubtion for mandatory life insurance and retirement. As with Social Security, life insurance premiums for cafeteria workers were subtracted along with double payment for Title I personnel. — $4,429 from hos pitalization premiums fot school employees, figured at three percent of annual salary. Again, the reduction comes from elimination of cafeteria and double Title I payments. —$2,075 from teacher salaries, projecting that the established pattern of replacing experienced teachers leaving the system with less experienced personnel at the bottom of the salary scale will continue. “I hope everyone understands that when we recruit, we'll be recruiting inexperienced teachers in order to stay within this budget,” Miller emphasized. Next year, the supervisors should be asked what per Highway Funds Drop According to final allocations for construction and improvements to the secondary system announced Transportation, Rappahannock will receive even less than the reduction anticipated by resident engineer Don Askew. At the Rappahannock supervisors’ April road hearing. Askew projected that the county would get $207,000 in secondary funds, down $138,062 or 40 percent from 1980’s allocation. The highway department's announcement this week sets the final figure at $194,152, a 44 percent cut. Along with the rest of Virginia, the county will get less money for construction and improvement projects and substantially more money for maintenance in the next fiscal year. State law requires the department to give first attention to road and bridge maintenance in distribution of funds. The amount of funds set aside for maintenance is based on past experience and on standards set in the department’s maintenance management program. Maintenance costs are increasing because of inflation and the gradually growing size and age of the highway system, and as a *1 I result the funds available for construction and improvements are declining, according to the department. systems, is provided by taxes paid by highway users. Of next year’s total for statewide secondary construction and improvements. about $13,501,000 is expected from the motor fuel tax and other state levies, while about $28,211,000 will come from the federal Highway Trust Fund. Under state law, the money is apportioned among the counties through procedures which take into account land area, population, total and unsurfaced road mileage, vehicle registration, vehicle miles traveled, and secondary system construction funds each county received in fiscal year 1976-77, when the General Assembly revised the distribution process. According to statistics supplied by the highway department, Rappahannock's area is 267 square miles and its population is 6,028. The county’s adjusted road mileage is 276.13 and its vehicle registration 4,484 with vehicle miles traveled set at 28.884. As of December 31, 1980, the county had 51.4. miles of nonhardsurfaced road, .928 of its total, serving 50 or more vehicles per day. ! * V I centage salary increase they'll approve before work is begun on the sehool budget, lie added. C h a i r m a n M a s s i e described the Miller Rems plan as "well and good lot this year” blit noted that Title I funds have not been finalized by the federal government. As in the past, school could start before the board is given "a clear go ahead" on the Title I budget, she said. Acknowledging that his suggestion wouldn't be popular. Miller proposed eliminating the position of assistant superintendent should Title I money be cut. "That’s where the MillerReeve plan varies!" Reeve responded. Massic also disagreed with the proposal. From the basis of her 20 year association with the school system, she maintained that Miller's idea was not a viable suggestion. After hearing from Bloomer that the superintendent believed the current budget contained enough money to buy a replacement school bus and that he ex '* pected the school could "slip by" with $1.50 (untaxedI for gas. Nelson Lane asked what would happen to plans for the high school building program is architectural fees are scratched from the ldhl82 budget. Bloomer explained that most architects do not submit their first bill until alter construction contracts have been awarded. At that time the school board will have secured literary loan tunds to finance the capital improvements and could use that money to cover the fees. Problems will arise only if the architects submit plans and (Continued on Page 4) RAA Tennis Tournament Tennis buffs are reminded that Friday.

The foot is a complex part of the body that functions in a complex manner. A study performed at a California university for the Department of the Army has proven that the foot functions in the following basic way. It flattens out to adapt to uneven terrain for a short period of time and also allows for the hips to rotate over the legs.

The National Honor Society and the honors English classes visited the Hayloft Dinner Theater, Wednesday, May 6. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the play “On Golden Pond” that starred Pat O’Brian. O’Brian’s portrayal of Norman, a sarsastic old gentleman, made the performance hilarious. Aside from the play, we were also served a delicious buffet of which everyone gladly participated. We would like to thank Miss Nelson and Mrs. Wayland who arranged the trip and our chaperone, Mrs. Wiley, for helping out. The F.H.A. (Future Homemakers of America) met Thursday, May 7 to enduct officers for the 198182 school year.51 The new officers are: Margie Menefee, President; Cindy Williams, Vice-President; Beverly Settle, Secretary; Cathy Atkins, Treasurer and Lou Racer, Historian. The ceremony consisted of the outgoing officers informing the new offiers of their duties. Candles, representing the qualities of being a member of the FHS, were then lighted. The annual picnic to South Wales is planned for May 30th. On Friday, May 8, both varsity track teams travelled 'to Brentsville where they participated in the Region B Track Meet. The girls’ team placed 5th overall out of 14 schools, and results are as follows: Discus: Tammy Atkins, Marie Davis, Donna Gore - 3rd, 4th, 5th, respectively: Shot Put: Mary Jordan 5th; High Jump: Johanna Day placed 2nd in a three way tie; 100 meter hurdles: Kim Williams placed 5th; 100 meter dash: Allison Best was 4th; 800 meter relay: our team consisting of: Laura Tupper, Crystol Porter, Raynetta Gheen placed 4th; Long Jump and 200 meter-dash • Crystol Porter, 4th and 5th respectively; 2 mile run: Sharon Scott, 5th; 400 Meter Relay: our team consisting of Best, Porter, Gheen, and Williams again broke the school record with the time of 53.7.

Those who placed were: Shot Put; Tim Williams, 5th with 43 yds. 2V* inches; 100 Meter Dash; Eugene Grisby, 6th; High Jump; Chris Foster and Doyle Dunn, 3rd and 4th respectively. Those individuals will be attending and participating in the State A Track Meet in Crozet at West Albemarle High School Saturday, May 16. On Friday, May 8, the senior class went to Kings Dominion to attend Graduate “nite” 81. Fiftythree seniors spent six hours in the park enjoying rides, browsing through shops, and attending concerts. Although the weather turned extremely cold before the night was over, everyone enjoyed themselves. The senior class would like to thank the chaperones, Mr. Patterson, Mrs. Bristol and Mr. and Mrs. Mills for all their help in making the trip a success. The 7th graders visited Rappahannock Countv High School on Tuesday, May 5 for an Orientation Program. The purpose of the program is to introduce the students to the layout of the school and to familiarize them with school policies and activities. The up-coming 8th graders heard a talk by Mr. Wingfield, Principal, and were given a tour of the school. Guides for the program included seniors, Jimmy Tomko, Paula Butler, Chris Foster, Judith Bloomer and Sharon Settle. Social Security The social security tax deducted from workers’ paychecks will be higher in 1981 than it was in 1980, Bruce Hundley, social security manager in Culpeper, said recently. This is due, first of all, Hundley said, to the fact that the tax rate increases from 6.13 percent for 1980 to 6.65 percent for 1981. In addition, the wage base, the maximum amount of annual earnings on which social security taxes are paid, increases to $29,700 for 1981 from $25,900 the. 1980 figure. These increases are the result of legislation enacted in 1977 intended to restore the social security system to financial stability. The increases will not be substantial, for most workers, Hundley said. For example, a worker earning about $10,000 in both 1980 and 1981 will pay about $1 more a week in social security taxes. Workers whose earnings amount to about $25,900 for both years will pay about $2.59 more a week in 1981 than in 1980, a total of, $134.68 more in social security taxes. ++++ Liars when they speak the truth are not believed. —Aristotle iiiursuny, may i4*, iyoi From The Home Agent’s Pen By BIRGITT THORNHILL Extmuion Afrnt In China, a housewife doesn’t look at a cookbook to make her grocery list; she buys what she can afford and gets the rest from the garden. Soy and seasonings are added to make a superb meal. The subtle flavor of Chinese cooking is characterized by the generous use of rice, bean sprouts, bean curd instead of milk, fresh ginger root and many dried foods. Spices and herbs are rarely added, but gaflic and onion are used for strong flavorings. Several dishes, often in multiples of eight, are accompanied by fluffy white rice. All food can be eaten with chopsticks or a spoon and fork. A knife never appears at the table, since the food is cut up during preparation. Soups are light and delicate in flavor. Fish is a favorite food, as is pork, chicken, and duck, but beef, lamb and mutton are also eaten. The meat is often dipped in batter and shallow fried in peanut or soybean oil before being added to the sauce. Rice and noodles are staple foods and maize and millet are also used. Large quantities of vegetables are eaten. They are cooked quickly in a small amount of liquid and crisp vegetables are garnished with slivers of meat to form many main dishes. Mushrooms, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, and bean sprouts are typical vegetables. Monosodium gluatamate is frequently added to savory dishes. This and soybean sauce, which replaces salt, are also common flavorings. There are a few rules that you must keep in mind when stir frying: 1) Cut meat in cubes, thin or wide strips; cut the meat Rappahannock New* Photo/Daphne Hutchinson AT CAREER DAY HELD AT RCHS recently, Trooper Stockton of the Virginia Department of State Police demonstrated his cruiser and other equipment used by Virginia policemen and explained the qualifications needed for employment with the department.

OFFICE: Rappahannock News Bldg.. Washington, Va. 22747 HOURS: 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 pm.. Mon.-Fri. Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation V THURSDAY, MAY 14,1981 Adopt Land Use Rappahannock’s farmers need to know they’re appreciated. They need to know that we realize they help maintain this county’s unique character. For this reason, we urge the Rappahannock supervisors to adopt a countywide use value taxation ordinance. We have rolling Reids of alfalfa and corn instead of subdivision lots because of fanners. We have pastures dotted with black Angus and red Herefords instead of ticky-tacky tract houses because of farmers. We have hillsides of apple blossoms instead of weekend and summer recreation homes because of farmers. Without farmers to keep the land open, Rappahannock would go the way of Prince William County: dairy farms replaced by shopping centers, beef cattle farms by garden apartments, horse farms by small lot developments. With this transformation would come sky high taxes required to meet service demands. Today, farmers are caught in a pricecost squeeze that has seen little increase in dollars brought in by a bushel of apples, a ton of hay or a market heifer. At the same time, production costs—machinery, labor, fertilizer, pesticides—have doubled, tripled, even quadrupled. Hie farmer’s return on his investment is at its lowest point in almost 50 years, spurring the annual conversion of hundreds of thousands of acres of agricultural land to more intensive uses. We don’t know enough about economics to assess the impact that disappearing farm land will have on this country’s balance of payments, a balance that appears to depend largely on our continaeiA'«[p)Aut&B .<i'| tfw, Muffs. Americamayneuiebreadbasket for the world but it’s easy to see that the breadbasket will turn up empty one of these days if we continue to lose more and more of our farms. Here at the local level, we can’t do much to change the fanner’s profit-loss picture. We can’t put the bottom back into the pork market, cut the middleman’s share of the beef industry or weaken the strangle grip that the big canneries have on apple prices. The one thing we can do is give the farmer a break on local taxes. We realise that there’s not a farmer in Rappahannock who’s had to sell land in order to pay local levies. With real estate taxes among the lowest in the state, any farmer who can’t pay the county’s bill should get out of the business because no matter what happens with the markets, he’s not going to be able to make a profit. If that’s the case, then why land use? Because it’s a message loud and clear that Rappahannock appreciates and wants to keep its farmers. The overwhelming majority of farmers aren’t in the business for the money. If they were, they’d have sold out long ago to land-hungry developers and put their cash into some type of tax shelter. With property in Rappahannock going at $3,000 an acre, they could be living off the interest and never have to slog through knee deep snow to break ice on a frozen pond or swelter under a blistering sun as they race their tractors to beat the rain to the hay crop. Everyone needs a little appreciation. Farmers are no exception. Their contributions in preserving the treasure that is Rappahannock County should be recognized. Land use taxation isn’t an iron clad guarantee that acres of precious farmland, orchards and open space won’t, b* turned ****** wMiii***--* ba it s a signal that the county is doing all it ‘can until state law allows wider options for seeking an answer. With a little appreciation, maybe our fanners will bold on until we find that answer. School Board Leaves Raises, Benefits Intact (Continued from Page 1) the building project is terminated. Then the board will be liable for fees without a literary loan to pay the bill, he added. No Point Miller stated that he didn’t see the point in proceeding with plans for capital expansion until the economy and the mood of the country changes. “1 would rather pay the people we have,” he said, maintaining that salaries will be substantially lower if the board has to stretch its budget to cover additional staff that will be required by expanded facilities at the high school. "The time has come to consolidate and pay the people we have,” he argued. If the RCHS building program proceeds now, he warned, Rappahannock may And itself in the “keep the best and cull the rest’” situation with teachers now faced by other school divisions. “I don’t want to see that happen here.” "I know the mood of the country and I know the mood of the county,” Massie countered. “But we’ve come this far. I think we should proceed and at least talk to the architects (in order to) come up with some figures on cost.” Once the board has a price tag for the high school expansion, it can take the figures to the public. Then if the building has to be postponed, the public will be more receptive, she maintained. Miller predicted that county citizens will support capital improvements right up to the time that the supervisors have to set a higher tax rate to support an expanded educational program. Then opposition will surface, he warned, and teachers will find themselves getting only four percent raises in order for the school I board to stay within its appropriation. “I don’t think we’re talking about that big of a building program,” Reeve responded, adding that during consideration of budget cuts was not the proper time to discuss capital improvements. Chinese Arithmetic ‘‘What we’re doing is playing Chinese arithmetic,” maintained Robert Eastham, criticizing budget cuts that revolve around shifting Title I and cafctria benefits from the regular budget. "It's wrong because we have a combined budget. Now we’re trying to unravel it and say that Title I and cafeteria workers are not school employees. . . We’ve actually made no cuts at all. To say that it’s ‘flow through’ and off this budget is patently not acceptable. It is not kosher!” Miller emphasized that the supervisors gave the school board an appropriation of $2,189,486 rather than demand that $89,100 be cut from the 1981*82 budget. “If we work within that appropriation, it should be acceptable.” Bloomer explained again that the reductions in social security, life insurance, retirement and hospitalization are primarily the result of benefits for Title I employees mistakenly counted twice. Going back to the MillerReeve plan, Eastham said that its cuts come from everywhere but personnel related items. He said he wished there was a way to absorb the supervisors’ reduction without antagonizing teachers but insisted that once payment of hospitalization premiums is approved, "it’s there forever. . . It causes a totally unacceptable percentage increase. . . We can turn and we can twist but we can't do it without cutting salaries and benefits,” he argued. "As long as we leave hospitalization in there and a 12.4 across the board salary increase for all school employees. I don’t want to be in the court house "when the school board explains its budget adjustments to the supervisors," Eastham said. "Each cut is taking something away from the children and nothing away from the employees.” “We’re paying the teachers for the children. We're not paying the teachers for themselves," Reeve countered. Miller added that he wasn’t supporting the plan because it would please the most people or because it was the easy way out. “1 felt it was the best for education in Rappahannock County." “This is legal but it’s not right.” maintained Eastham after the motion to approve the Miller-Reeve plan was made and seconded. “We’re voting cuts that are for the employees only and nothing for these children!" “It allows us to operate within the appropriation approved by the supervisors,” Miller emphasized. "There’s nothing unethical or immoral about it. It’s in the best interests of education in Rappahannock County.” The vote on the MillerReeve package was approved 3-1 with Lane abstaining and Eastham opposed. .. ■ ■ , Letters To The Editor > ' > > Appreciation I To the editor: ^ I wish to thank the hundreds of citizens of 1 Rappahannock County whose i wonderful and enthusiastic i audience support made all i five performances of Peter Pan such a sellout hit. On behalf of the Rappahannock Players, I also want to offer a special thank you to Michelen Hostetter, without whose hundreds of hours of labor as technical director the play simply would not have been possible. Her excellent stage crew, Stuart Eiland, Peter Luke, and David Konick, made difficult set changes seem easy. Their contribution and that of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Eidson who provided backdrop material, were invaluable. Joyce and Laurie Adams, Robbie Space, and the other talented members of Linda Heimstra’s Scenic Art Crew worked wonders. Willie Abernathy and Terry Lee Waggoner deserve special mention for their construction assistance, and Jeannie Drevas for her superb role as the Neverland Ostrich. Special thanks to Doug Baumgardner and Darlene Moore, who kindly opened their offices for use by the cast. Nan Smith and Corinne DelGrosso for their invaluable assistance with costumes, to Wakefield School for use of their school bus, and to Fairlawn Antiques for use of properties and quilts. And lastly we are grateful to the Rappahannock News ! for their enthusiastic coverage of the performances. Finally, heartfelt thanks to all the cast and crew of Peter Pan. Your weeks of hard work and your wonderful positive energy turned Rappahannock County into Never Neverland and provided a never to be forgotten experience for us all. PALI DELEVITT, Director, Peter Pan Bouquets Dear Editor: Such was the excitement Saturday night on stage at the conclusion of the last performance of Peter Pan (for the present, anyway) that a heart-warming fact got lost in the course of explaining the first of many bouquets given and received in the Darling’s nursery. This first bouquet was designed, because it consisted of a flower for each member iof the cast as well as other indispensable contributors to the overall production, to express the enjoyment of an appreciative couple in the county who had seen Peter Pan and wanted to applaud the effort of every individual of the team, in the traditional way, with flowers. It was a very thoughtful gesture and I am happy to report it. I would like also to thank here several friends in the community who responded generously to my wife or to me with properties which aided the production immensely. Waldron O’Connor -Advocates Outnumber Opponents Av\m D» use value taxation afforded in an ag district, Marshall replied that "many more landowners are able to participate in use value taxation.” (Ag districts require a minimum of 500 contiguous acres. The property, however, may be held by several different owners.) “But it must be taMaalmd > with, u* value taxation, there is a bigger shift (in the tax burden) than with ag districts,” the extension specialist cautioned. Beaurocracy Attacked The creation of an agricultural and forestal district is "an awfully bureaucratic process,” said Newbill Miller, adding that this was the best argument for county-wide use value taxation. Public hearings must be held by the special ag district advisory committee, planning commission and board of supervisors prior to approval of an ag district. Advertisements for the public hearings are costly and the whole process is very time consuming, Miller maintained, “whereas land use taxation is an administrative procedure.” He agreed that taken by itself,' land use taxation won't save farmland. “But it is a tool, part of a total approach, that will aid in stopping conversion of farmland,” Miller said. Jim Bankston interjected that application fees required for agricultural districts should help off-set the cost of legal advertisements for public hearings. Supervisor chairman E. P. Luke explained that soil maps will be used with overlays to determine the soil classification which sets the value of property in land use. Property with a particular type of soil will be valued at the same level throughout the county, he emphasized. According to Luke, Rappahannock’s soil maps are accurate up to 200 feet. The 1981-82 budget includes funds for the overlays which are needed for ag districts whether or not a county-wide use value taxation ordinance is approved. Supporting Documents The supervisor chairman stressed that landowners applying for use value taxation will need supporting records to prove that their property has been in bona fide agricultural production for five years previous and meets all other standards for preferential tax treatment. Without county-wide use value taxation, supervisor Dick Latham asked, what happens to the farmer with anywhere from five to 499 acres who can’t persuade adjoining property owners to JVIII Mil Ug VJIJll IV l • "There are inequities on both sides," Paxton Marshall agreed. He added that all property in an ag district doesn't have to be farm land, that property which won’t qualify for use value taxation can be included in order to meet the 500 acre minimum. With land use taxation, "where are the deferred taxes' ■Mftedt'* asked Mary Edna Schaefer. "If s shifted' ‘to the land that's not approved for land use taxation, to other real property that doesn't qualify for use value taxation," Marshall answered. Supervisor H. B. Wood agreed that adoption of county-wide land use will shift a portion of the tax burden from land to houses. He pointed out, however, that under the county’s new 100 percent fair market value assessment which takes effect next year, the tax burden will shift dramatically from houses to land WITHOUT use value taxation. As owner of a house and small lot in the town of Washington, Frank Reynolds noted that he will benefit from land use taxation if it encourages the preservation of farm and forest land. “Fairfax County is not going to pop up around me overnight...If land use taxation works to preserve farmland. Rappahannock will maintain its unique character,” he said. “Some of us are willing to pay extra taxes to get that," Reynolds added. Land use taxation “might be a dam to hold the horde away but it’s no guarantee," Luke countered. He agreed that house and lot owners like Reynolds might be willing to absorb some of the tax burden shifted with use value taxation but maintained there’s a limit to how much additional tax burden people will accept in order to preserve Rappahannock’s character. “When that point comes, what’s a governing body supposed to do?” he asked, adding that the county was moving in the direction of taxing people out of their houses. Farmers are also being taxed off their land, Miriam Harris reminded the supervisor chairman. Bankston asked how long the average landowner stays in a use value taxation program. “We don’t know,” Luke replied, maintaining that lack of specific data created problems in reaching an informed decision of the pros and cons of use value taxation. Newbill Miller reported on a study he conducted, comparing taxes on ten houses selected at random, two from each magisterial district, with farm taxes. The avcid^c vaiuc ui me used in the comparison was $59,500 and the total personal property and real estate paid last year by each homeowner averaged $205.63, according to Miller. Using the new 100 percent fair market value assessments and a rate of 28 cents per $100 necessary to derive the $700,000 from real estate in thl* y«Ar’s budget, tt* WH tbr the ten homeowners would average $169.59—$40 less than the previous year’s levy. Miller pointed out. With land use and 20 percent of the county’s total land value deferred (close to 40 percent of Rappahannock's actual acreage), the tax rate required to raise that same $700,000 from real estate would be 32 cents per $100, giving the ten homeowners bills averaging $192.78. If 40 percent of the land value is deferred (with 60 to 65 percent of the county’s total acreage receiving use value), tax bills for those ten homeowners will climb to an average of $223.13, Miller reported. By comparison, he said, taxes on personal property and land paid by five working farmers whose holdings ran from 73 to 441 acres averaged $1,118 last year under the old assessments. Homeowners here benefit from undeveloped farm, forest and open space land through higher property values, said Miller, who in addition to running a beef cattle operation also has a real estate business. “Houses are selling here for good and excellent prices because of the area where they're located,” he said, adding that homes in Rappahannock bring higher prices than similiar structures in Warren and Culpeper Counties. Continue Land Use Miller acknowledged that Rappahannock property has traditionally been underassessed, a condition that will cease with implementation of 100 percent fair market values next year. “It’s not a question of whether we’re going to have land use taxation but whether we’re going to continue,” he said. Health, police, school, fire and other service demands are created by houses and the people who live in houses, according to Lee Bird. “Open land, land in crops, places no demand on the county for services...To tax that land at a high rate is self-defeating. It’s an encouragement to the farmer to sell off his land” for development which will add to the service-demand spiral, he said. The demand for more services can be avoided only if farm land stays in land use, according to Luke. He i maintained mat me tarmer isn’t hit with a penalty for withdrawing from the program and selling out to developers since it is the developer, as the individual who changes the use of the property, who is responsible for paying the rollback taxes. “The farmer will pay the rollback tax in the value of Mfc land-^-it Vvill belowfer'rfit ■ hfos a rollback tax on it,” countered Miller. He'agreed that land use taxation has drawbacks but maintained that it does help keep the farmer in farming. “It’s a beginning, just a beginning,” Miller said. “For the past 20 years, Rappahannock County has had de facto land use taxation because of the way the county was assessed," said Sean Kilpatrick. “Without an ordinance (for county-wide use value taxation), we’ll lose what we have enjoyed,” he said. Growing Population Kilpatrick added that the latest census shows the county's populations increased 20 percent between 1970 and 1980, reversing an 80 year trend of a steadily declining population. This reversal will increase development pressures, he warned. “Land use taxation says ‘Fellow, if you want to live out here among the apple trees, you’re going to have to help foot the bill!’ ” Noting that the demand for services is the basis for a land tax. Bill Fletcher said Rappahannock has been very fortunate in being able to restrict development while its neighbors have grown at a tremendous rate. This came about in part because Rappahannock had an unofficial land use tax that didn't force farmers out of business, he said, suggesting that the supervisors at least give use value taxation a try. If a farmer in a land use program dies, Helen Kilby asked, and his family wants to continue farming, do roll back taxes become due with change in ownership? Paxton Marshall answered that change in ownership requires that a new application be filed and the application fee be paid (proposed at SS0 plus IS cents per acre in Rappahannock). If there's no change in use, however, the rollback taxes do not fall due, he said. Population growth that will result from development of farms will cause a “tremendous increase” in taxes for all county residents, said Mitzie Young, pointing to Warren and Loudoun Counties as examples. “Increase the tax base and increase the population and you increase all the costs of government,” she said. Luke countered that any tax incentives aimed at preserving agricultural land must be coupled with tight zoning. “There’s no way we're going to be able to buy our way out of this problem!” he maintained. “Nothing's going to be perfect but if it (land use) helps half way, it will be worth it,” H. B. Wood interjected. Using figures front the U: S. Department df Agriculture’s farm census report, Luke noted that land use taxation—as well as the supervisors’ earlier move to eliminate levies on livestock and farm machinery—will benefit 266 county farmers. Diana Bird countered that the definition used by the Department of Agriculture to count Rappahannock’s farmers is intended to encourage agribusiness. “A farmer shouldn’t be disqualified because his wife works as a school teacher or a real estate agent!" she insisted. Asked if he thought allowing land use only to qualifying farmers in agricultural districts would create a “bureaucratic morass,” Luke answered that he didn’t think so. The planning commission and board of supervisors will only have to meet more often, he said. Luke added that no one complained about bureaucracy when the agricultural advisory committee was set up to consider the first ag district application last year. In answer to another question. Luke said he thought the supervisors would have to reconsider earlier action to drop taxes on farm machinery and livestock if land use is adopted in order to assess the entire tax picture. Repeatedly, he maintained that neighboring Madison County is feeling the effects of the tax shift from land use adopted three years ago and is now considering abandoning the program because of opposition from property owners. (According to the commissioner of revenue in Madison, that county went to land use taxation the same year that a 100 percent fair market value assessment was implemented with a tax rate of 50 cents per $100. In 1979, the rate went up to 55 cents and has remained at that level since, a ten percent increase.) With half the audience getting up to leave and the other half engaging in private debates and conversations, as the meeting dragged past 10 p.m., Luke declared the public hearing over. The supervisors plan to vote on the proposed use value taxation ordinance at their June 1 meeting.

Exhibit Opens In Warrenton Tompkins Snaps A Shutter On Art By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON ff.ppdwjinock New. Staff Writer Charles Tompkins proves that photography is an art form with the exhibit that opens this Sunday at Liz Dubenetz’s Fifth Street Gallery and Frame Shoppe in Warrenton. From images of Warrenton and Casanova in the mid1%0’s to shots of bluegrass greats and California junk dealers, Tompkins has captured slices of time and bits of the American character. His photographs illustrate the natural beauty of Fauquier County, his childhood home, and Rappahannock County where he now lives. Forest glades and streams cascading down a mountain hollow make silent appeals for preservation of Piedmont Virginia’s natural resources. “I guess I’m a conservationist. I want to preserve the beauty that probably won’t be there or certainly will be very altered in the generations to come,’’ he explained. “One of the things about photography that’s always got me is its ability to capture time.’’ Started As A Kid Tompkins started fooling around with photography as a kid, working on the school newspaper and yearbook at St. Paul’s in Maryland and Hun School in Princeton^ N.J. But his parents, Lalla Rook and Charles H. Tompkins, Jr. of Spring Hill Farm in Casanova, expected their son to be an engineer or a lawyer, not a shutter bug. “And I wanted to be an artist. It just took me a long time to figure out how to do it,’* Charlie explained. At first, it was music that fascinated him. “Photography interested me, but it was more of a hobby. It didn’t occur to me to think of it as a serious career until years later. I wanted to be on t the Grand Ol’ Opry—Hank Williams was my idol. He was so different from all the rest. I remember hearing him on the radio. My mother was trying to talk, trying to get my attention, and all I could think of was ‘What sis that?’—It blew me right away!” he said. Tompkins was just a listener until college but at the University of Miami, both cameras and music tightened their holds on him. A philosophy major, he picked up a few courses in photography and journalism to widen his free-lancing-forspending-money options. On the musical side, a, friend convinced Charlie he could play the guitar. Tompkins kept trying until "one day, my hand was moving and I was stuck.” A radio and shower singer from way back, he accompanied himself from the beginning. “It’s still how I learn a song—singing with a record. I’ve had six or eight lessons but I’ve never learned to read music,” Charlie admitted. Serious About Photography Fiddling with bluegrass music and growing serious about photography, Tompkins; dropped out of school and headed back to Washington, where he jumped into the commercial photography business. He worked for several years with the City News Bureau, a small UPI type outfit that sold photographs to out-oftown newspapers. At that time, the East Coast school of photography focused primarily . on news shots of important events, using 35 millimeter film. The West Coast approach with its big negatives of still lifes—more art form than journalistic appendant—had just begun to reach the nation’s capital. Tompkins was one of the first D.C. professionals to feel its impact. In 1969, he opened the Icon Gallery in partnership with Mark Power. "It was the only one in the city devoted to the exhibition of photography as a serious art form,” Tompkins said. “The whole idea was to promote good photography.” In addition to exhibiting photographic works of art, Tompkins and Power put together a consortium of photographic talent to handle commercial jobs. “But it was too bureaucratic. I ended up taking care of the business end when I wanted to be a photographer. The art was much moth interesting than the commercial aspects,” Tompkins said. The gallery folded in 1971. Charlie kept on with commercial photography in order —™"" "tf" .. ™i«——■ • 4 — Rom Ckapple/for The Rappahannock Newi CHARLES TOMPKINS’ talents with a camera will be on exhibit from May 1729 at the Fifth Street Gallery and Warren ton Frame Shoppe. to pay the bills, but the work grew less and less appealing. “I’d do one job for a client and it would be kind of fun because it was new but when I'd get a return call, it wasn’t fun any more—it was boring.” A workshop at Yosemite National Park with Ansel Adams, recognized nationally and internationally as one of the Michelangelos of the photographic art form, turned Tompkins around. “I’d always had a conflict with commercialism versus art. Everyone at the workshop was into art, taking pictures without worrying about what a client would pay them. Their attitudes clarified my ideas," he recalled. Tompkins kept on with commercial photography for a few years because he needed the money. “It’s where my reputation was,” he added. Freed By Inheritance Then an inheritance freed him from bill-paying constraints. “I canned the commercial stuff and concentrated on art. In the beginning, it was a problem of production. I’d shot millions of negatives but needed to spend time in the darkrootn getting together a cohesive set of prints. After that, it was and is a question of getting my name around to the people who buy that kind of stuff.” For all your printing needs...

Rappahannock J&uis Washington, Va. 875-3349 a While still running Icon, Tompkins was part of a twoman exhibition at the Smithsonian Institute with a photo essay on The Making of Pottery at Jugtown. In 1972, he took second place at the Washington Art Directors show and during the next four years went on to a juried exhibition at Friends of Fine Photography in Carmel, Calif., the Virginia Museum’s Virginia Photographers’ show, a group art show at the Art Barn in D.C. and 21 Critics in Search of Photographs Show at Intuitiveye Gallery in Arlington. During the same period, he attended another Ansel Adams workshop and was an assistant instructor at a third. Long Process Gaining a reputation as an artist in the world of photography is a long process. “Actually, it’s just beginning,” Tompkins said, explaining that the last few years, he’s concentrated primarily on renovating his home in Washington, Virginia, and printing an extensive collection of the thousands of photographs he’s taken. The two-week exhibition at the Dubenetz gallery is the culmination of months of work in the darkroom, featuring photographs that show his progress as an artist. “Being a photographer is a lot like being a musician. A banjd>jthas a repertoire that they regularly play. You go to see them five years later and they’re still playing a few of the old songs but in addition, they have a whole different repertoire. A photographer also has an ongoing body of material,” he explained. Musical analogies come naturally to Charlie Tompkins. Although he gave up his dream of performing in Nashville for a career behind the camera lens, he never lost his love for bluegrass. Photography has been his vocation, music his avocation. After picking up the guitar at the University of Miami, he "just fiddled with it for a lot of years. Then I met these guys at a party. They said they had a band but none of them knew any words to the songs they played. So I started picking with them. It was the beginning of being a little professional or whatever," Tompkins joked. From free-for-all pickin’ parties with 11 guitars and one banjo, the group narrowed down to three serious musicians —Tompkins, Joe Brady and Dick Woodard. The trio added a fiddle and bass player and for several years entertained audiences at Old Towne Inn at Annapolis. In between sessions, Charlie played with his childhood friend Fred Kines of UHMiiy nr int S-W-MFartitar. .*•**/!• I. Pan.71•/». Tap Craa tan .. *P/». Practars Svaat Nna FaaP...

But after his move to “Little" Washington, Tompkins picked up his guitar again. People started asking about gigs so he reorganized partners from an earlier bluegrass band, banjo player Mark Maggiolo of Hume and Alexandria attorney Alan Cohen, now on mandolin with None of the Above. They were joined by Joe Brady on bass with Judy Chappie of Hume adding her voice to Charlie’s on vocals. As the Casanova Cut-Ups, ♦hey’ve plucked and strummed foot-stompin’ bluegrass in Fauquier and Rappahannock for the past several years. Music Reflected In Photography Tompkins’ involvement with music is reflected in his photography. Among the still lifes and woodland scenes on exhibit at the Dubenetz gallery are shots of Flat and Scruggs, Bill Monroe, John Duffy, the Country Gentlemen and other big name bluegrass performers captvttd oii film at festivals and shows. Music is important to Tompkins IniL. it's photography thfat absorbs most of his energL. He borrowed lyricls frum a musical1 classic/to explain: “Life ijlik^/a mountain railway wltKan engineer so brave. We must make each run successful from the cradle to the grave.’ Those words from a favorite country hymn say a lot about the way the world appears to me, that is, something of a mystery. Photography to me is a means of recording some of the mysteries that appear." Bloodmobile Needs 125 Units ine Kea cross Biooatnobile will be at the National Guard Armory on Waterloo Road, Warrenton, May 20, from noon to 5:45 p.m. The goal for this blood drive is 125 units (pints). Attainment of that goal would put the Fauquier Chapter within reach of its fiscal year quota of 800 units. This is the final appearance of the bloodmobile at the Armory in this fiscal year, which ends June 30, although the unit will make two more visits to Fauquier Scholarship Program Open A special scholarship program for high school juniors is being offered again this year by Lynchburg College in Lynchburg, Va. The program is based upon participation in a one-week summer college short course to be given July 26-31. On the basis of the student’s work in the summer course and high school records. Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test scores and recommendations, he or she may be awarded a four-year Hopwood Scholarship in the amount of $1750 a year toward tuition at Lynchburg College, effective upon completion of the student’s senior year in high school. Up to 20 per cent of the participants will be chosen for the Hopwood Scholarships by a special committee appointed by Dr. Carey Brewer, president of Lynchburg College. High school students who will be seniors in 1981-82 and are currently in the upper 20 percent of their classes are eligible to apply for the summer short course. If a student is selected, he or she will be given free tuition for the course chosen by the student from the 18 courses offered, and upon successful completion of the course, will receive one semester hour of college credit. The high school student's only fee is $40, an amount which covers the cost of regfotratioa and a portion of . the cost of room and board. Tuition and the remainder of the room and board costs will be paid for through the T. Brady Saunders Scholarship Fund. The deadline for application for the summer college short course is May 29. and students will be notified of acceptance or non-acceptance by June 15. Requests for further information about the program or applications to the program should be addressed to: Dean of Lynchburg College, Lynchburg, Va. 24501.

Red Cross offficials emphasize, however, that the Fauquier chapter’s quota is much lower than the area’s demand requires. Historically, Fauquier Hospital uses more blood than is supplied by residents of Fauquier and Rappahannock, last year more than twice as much. In the past three months alone, the hospital has used 230 units, about equivalent to one-third of the blood collected by the Fauquier chapter since last July. several factors combine to increase blood demand in the area. The growing population of Fauquier and Rappahannock, which now stands at more than 41,000, means a heavier demand on blood resources. And hospital technologists say that any rise in population brings an increase in the number of chronic bleeders, people who need more blood transfusions than the normal person. Some patients of the Warrenton Dialysis Facility on Waterloo Road, opened last August, also need more frequent blood transfusions than normal persons. pppp***"'" UseO C* % —SR' WQW. paces'. -ovjtwiMUUTC i igpau o •24-Hour Wrecker Service •Tires, Batteries •Gas and Oil •Groceries and Sundries •certified Virginia Inspection Station •Body and Fender Work • Painting and Applying Vinyl Tops betties Garage Flint Hill, Va. 675-3252 Used Dealer #3824 SAVE NOW!!!

By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock Newa Staff Writer For forty years, Haywood Pullen has been keeping bees in back of his home at Rose Hill farm. Before that, he lived just down the road at the old toll gate house where his grandfather, Rob Brady, collected tolls for wagons and horses traveling on the old road. His reason for keeping bees is simple: Haywood Pullen likes honey. He gets about twenty-five dozen quarts a year from his eighty hives and sells them from his home starting in late summer. "I don’t know that much about bees,” Pullen said, “just what I’ve picked up over the years.” Whatever information Pullen hasn’t picked up in his years of beekeeping doesn’t seem worth knowing. He’s also invented a couple of gadgets that make his bee operation simpler. Pullen keeps his hives in several long rows a few feet apart in a small fenced yard, so the air is thick with buzzing honey bees. Pullen seldom gets stung: “Don’t stay still for too long • keep moving. And don’t swat at a bee. Once you hit at him, he’ll keep after you til you have to kill him.” How does the bee know which of the eighty identical hives is his? Pullen laughed. “I’ve always wondered how city folks know which apartment is theirs. Guess it’s the same for bees. They just know.” This week the bees are gathering honey from locust blooms, cress blossoms, dandelions, and wild strawberry flowers. "I don’t feed mine this time of year,” Pullen said. “As long as the sun is shining they can get food. If I have a new hive that hasn’t had time to store food. I’ll feed it on a cold day—I just set out some old honey jars and they clean them up for me. “Once a honeybee freezes, that’s it. That’s why they don’t go out in the cold. They stay inside in a knot—keep each other warm. In weak swarm some will die from cold—the ones on the outside, qf. the knot, l ean tell when K happens because the other bees push them out.” Pullen said that he checks them from time to time in the winter. “You poke a stick in and hear him roar—you know he’s in there.” To prepare his hives, Pullen fixes racks for honey storage with a honeycomb base. “The trick is to have him build his comb the way I want him to, not the way he wants to,” Pullen either extends the wax base across each rectangular frame or just part way down. “These honeycombs are so expensive, I usually just give the bees enough to start off right.” To prevent the bees from working on first one rack and then another, Pullen separates his honeycombs with plywood boards. For honey he wants to sell in the comb, Pullen uses a different kind of rack with small square sections. Each section will be a perfect little honeycomb. The racks can be pulled out from the top of the hive. Pullen has some frames he's bought and also many that he made himself from pine or poplar. “A lot of these things I’ve never read about. I've just sort of made up things as I go along.” Pullen puts “caps” (supers) on his hives around this time of year when the bees are doing well. The cap is another box full of racks that the bees work on after they fill the hive. “If the bees have filled up their gum, (hive) and one cap The Green Machine" OAS-POWERED TOUOM •SoSd Stall* Ignition •CanMtugal clulch •2-Un* Cutting Hoad •Comlor Trim *dtu*t*W* mld-hoodW lor tdglng or trimming _ at* 28 cc i Optional Blada Capability RANDOLPH’S APPUAMCCS AKQMPMMT, Rout* 29 North of Culpapar (acroM from Ortva-ln Thaatra) Randolph Klnaay—Ownar Phona 82S-9S20 Optional Mada Capability for them and one cap for you, then it’s a good hive." Pullen said that he makes sure his hives have a cap for themselves. “Many folks just use one cap and that’s honey for them. But I leave one cap for the bees to make sure they have enough for the winter.” Pullen has so many hives going and so many supers prepared that he has to watch out for worms and mice eating the wax base and bees robbing honey from a partially-filled hive whose bees have weakened or died. So he hit upon the idea of having a strong hive “babysit”—he puts the supers or the hives on top of a strong hive to protect until he’s ready to use them. Right now Pullen is checking his hives every day when he comes in from his farm work for dinner and again when he’s through for the day. He’s looking for swarms of bees to put in his new hives. “Bees are like chickens,’’ Pullen said. “You just have some queens who lay a lot of eggs. When the gum gets crowded, the workers make a special cell for the new queen and cap it with royal jelly. That will make any egg into a queen.” “Now, when the new queen hatches the old queen leaves the gum and the worker bees swarm around her. That’s how I start my new hives.” To collect swarms and put them in a hive, Pullen has invented a special box that he can carry anywhere. It’s a simple matter to transfer the new swarm from his box to the hive. His swarm box has mesh “windows” for ven tilation and a metal roof.” Since his hives are so close together, Pullen has hit upon an ingenious way to gather honey. “It was hard for me to get the honey,” he said. “You don’t want to use much smoke or the honey will taste smoky. So, there’s always some bees still following the cap and in a matter of seconds the cap is black with bees trying to rob the honey. “I use a sheet and a tin hive top. I set the supers over the tin to catch the drips then wrap them in a sheet to keep off the robber bees. When I’m through I give the few trapped bees a little smoke and then carry the honey out.” Pullen has rigged lip a way to filter and extract his honey at the same time. He has a large tin can with a fine mesh screen that fits into a lard tin. He mashes the comb and sets it to drip on_a hot day. “These cans can’t be used for anything but honey,” he said. “1 can’t even use soap on them—the honey will pick up the taste.” So Pullen set his tins out for the bees to clean and then scalds them with hot water. Pullen said that there are a lot of things he could do to increase his profits from honey, but he’s not that concerned about it. “I’ve lived here all my life and worked here on the same farm for Mr. Tom Massie just like my daddy did. I got into keeping bees because I like honey and I like to fool with them. I make a little money at it but really, I’m just doing what I like."

Gottlieb “Retired” To Speech Pathology By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappaluaaoek News MIVHW Rappahannock County can now add a speech pathology clinic to the list of unique offerings rarely found in a rural farming community with only 6.000 inhabitants. After a quarter of a century in government service and travels around the world. Sid Gottlieb and his wife Margaret settled on Rappahannock County as their home for what are ordinarily termed the retirement or twilight years of life. But Sid is not an ordinary man. At the close of a career that took him to the Department of Agriculture. Food and Drug Administration. National Research Council. University of Maryland and finally, the Central Intelligence Agency, he went back to school for a II I The I Green | Machine j 1 I I model 3000 X masters degree in speech pathology. Last month, he opened an office in Sursum Corda School in Washington, providing clients with something rarely found in private Enterprise—services with fees based on an individual’s ability to pay. When Sid retired from government in 1972. he and Margaret passed on the typical Florida condominium. To the dismay of friends who saw their decision as foolhardy nonsense, they sold their home and property in McLean, their furniture, household goods—everything they’d accumulated over years of raising a family“We had decided that we didn’t want to be prisoners of what we owned. It wasn’t easy but when we finished, we’d reduced our belongings to two suitcases each. Then we took off on a freighter to Western Australia.” Gottlieb said. From Australia, they went to Africa and India where Sid stayed for six months to manage the administration of a missionary hospital. “The idea was to let things happen to us and in the process, decide what to do with the rest of our lives.” he recalled. “We had a daughter and her family in Santa Cruz. She said ‘One of the things you can do is be grandparents.' So we came back and spent five years there.” People Over Test Tubes It was during this stint in California that Sid decided to return to school. He chose speech therapy for a second career. “Once I was a very severe stutterer,” he explained. **I felt I had a certain empathy with that kind of trouble. And my PhD 'was in chemistry. I wanted to work with people rather than test tubes, one on one in a helping sense." Apprehension gave way to enjoyment from the very outset of his enrollment in San Jose State in 1975. “It was a big school with some 20.000 students and only about a half dozen of them were in my age group. I never met any of the others.” he added with a wide smile. least twice as many years as his fellow students. Gottlieb had no difficulty matching the pace of college life. “It AUCTION 1 MAY 16,1981 10 A.M. Property oM. ft.

My motivation and experience made me more efficient. Keeping up was not a problem.” he said. And there was an unexpected benefit from his return to school. Speech pathology is primarily a woman's field. In the average class of 20 to 30 students, only three or four are men so Sid had an opportunity to study the opposite sex right along with the taxt books. “I had a lot of good chums and I learned a lot about the way females tick.” Sid acknowledged. His performance was outstanding by any standards. Gottlieb earned “pretty much” straight A's in a rigorous course that required 30 units of graduate work, a thesis on an original piece of research, a difficult oral and written comprehensive exam and the National Teachers paX'^Vat rack up at least 300 clinical hours in direct therapy. That way. when you get your first real client, you're not green.” he explained. After graduation. Gottlieb received his necessary Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) from the American Speech. Hearing and Language Association following a year of supervised work. He took a job with the Santa Cruz school system, providing speech therapy at both the elementary and high school levels. At the same time, he served in a stroke activity center, helping to rehabilitate stroke victims whose speech was affected. Cradle To Grave Speech is the key to communication. It's a vital skill with a need that begins at birth and lasts until death. Like the family doctor whose patients range from monthold infants to elderly greatgrandparents. a speech pathologist treats clients from the cradle to the grave. For babies bom with cleft palates, steps can be taken in infancy to correct articulation problems, one of the four areas dealt with by speech specialists. 210-Acre Farm • Farm Machinery & Equipment Approximately 50 Head Commercial Angus Beef Cattle Saturday, May 23—10:00 a.m. ORANGE, VIRGINIA (UNIONVILLE) Directions: from Orange take Rt. 20north, appx. 7miles, to south on Rt. 522 toward Mineral, appx. 1 mile, to farm on right. 210-ACRE BEEF FARM (all clear and open land) including 4-bedroom house, outbuildings and silos.

Other articulation problems can be attacked as early as three although he noted that most disfunctions aren’t addressed until children enter school. Sid explained articulation as problems with making sounds — “lellow” for ‘"yellow.” “wabbit” for "rabbit.” “banilla” for "vanilla.” Emphasis in treatment is on teaching a youngster to coordinate tongue, voice box and lips properly. Language problems fall into a second category. “That’s when they can make the proper speech sounds but their brain was never taught grammar.” Gottlieb said, citing as an example the child who announces “Me go Culpeper." Early intervention is important with this type of speech difficulty. “By four years old. a normal child has learned SO percent of* all the grammar he or she will ever know.” reported Gottlieb. During those first four years, body systems are geared to absorb language. That's why people who learn a second language later in life always carry an accent from their native tongue. And it's why serious grammar and syntax errors are so much more difficult to correct past age four—the body’s language learning apparatus is past its peak. Gottlieb said. Voice problems are in a third category. Kids often abuse their voices by screaming so much that nodules grow on their vocal chords, according to Sid. These nodules alter voice quality. Sometimes corrective surgery is required but in many cases, a speech pathologist can bring down the pitch of a high vocie. reduce volume or eliminate raspiness without medical intervention. Gottlieb was quick to add. however, that a chronically hoarse voice can be a warning sign of cancer and should ALWAYS be checked by a physician. Moat Common la Stuttering The most common speech problem is fluency, specifically stuttering. According to Gottlieb. SO percent of all children go through a stuttering stage before five years of age. “Speech requires complex coordination of breathing, voice box. articulators (teeth, tongue, lips), and messages from the brain. It’s not surprising that a child will sputter a little.” Gottlieb maintained. The vast majority of youngsters—90 percent and more—overcome childhood stuttering spontaneously. When the problem doesn’t go away, it’s often the result of the parents doing something wrong, according to Gottlieb.1 Parents who react to stuttering episodes by demanding “what’s the matter with you?” or “Why can’t you talk straight?” add to the problem. For very young stutterers up to age four. Gottlieb said, he deals only with the parents in efforts to overcome the speech disfunction. In most cases, this involves simply persuading parents to change the family’s “supportdemand ratio.” he said. “While the child is struggling with language, you lower the demands you place on him and increase the support—that’s usually all you have to do.” he noted. If stuttering persists past the time a child enters school, direct intervention is called for. according to Gottlieb. I he therapist tries to replace wrong speech habits that the child has learned and at the same probes into the youngster’s homelife to find the underlying cause of the speech disfunction. “I hope in my practice to hit all types of speech disorders in all ages but my special interest is in stuttering.” Gottlieb said. While correction is easier to achieve in youngsters, therapy can also help adult stutters. “It's difficult and it requires a commitment on their part but adult stutterers can be cured.” he said. Gottlieb is an example of the kind of success that's possible. His stuttering was at its most severe while he was in high school and college. "But I liked to talk a lot. I talked in spite of my stutter—I even told stuttering jokes!” he laughed, adding that with that type of attitude. the progonsis for cure is good. “Two things happened to me. Things began to click and my self image improved. Also, my mother steered me to a speech clinic where they payed a lot of attention to how I breathed and paused. 1 was helped by concentrating on coordination. trying to send the words out on the outbreath." he recalled. i Gottlieb , still besil»t,es slightly in his speech but the pauses occur with much less frequency than the "you knows" that punctuate the speech of so many nonstutterers. Dream Home After traveling, learning to be grandparents, returning to school and starting a new' career. the Gottliebs dedicated two years to finding a spot to play out the rest of their dream. Sid wanted a part-time practice in speech therapy that would allow him to work jointly with Margaret who after 20 some years of teaching, received training as a learning disabilities instructor from the Kingsbury Center in Washington. D.C.. and has tutored LD youngsters for the past 14 years. But equally as important the Gottliebs were looking for a site for the group house they'd decided to build in an innovative sharing arrangement planned with two other families as an alternative in old age to nursing homes or living with grown children. They envisioned an energy efficient structure with private and communal space, built on one floor to provide easy wheel chair access so that the three couples could care for each other. And they didn't see this dream house in California. "California’s a good place to go for a holiday but not to live. How can you appreciate spring when it's eternal spring? You need a rough winter!” Sid maintained. The couple chose to return to the East Coast where they’d left friendships established over a quarter of a century and started looking for a homesite. first in West APPROXIMATELY MAY 18-JUNE 10 Pick your own, or we’ll pick ’em Bring your own containers...

Virginia and then in Virginia. "The minute we saw Rappahannock County, we said this is it!” Sid recalled. It took another year to find the perfect spot for their group home on Blackwater Creek near Boston. Each step that the Gottliebs have considered has been taken slowly and carefully. That same lack of urgency characterizes Sid’s approach to the office he's opened at Sursum Corda School on Monday and Thursday evenings. “I’m prepared to wait. A practice like speech therapy builds slowly. It takes time for people to know who you are and what you do—and to trust you.” he concluded. Medicare Applications People approaching age 65 who have no plans to retire, but who still want the full protection of Medicare, will benefit from a change in the law. Under the old law, a person who wanted Medicare hospital insurance protection had to apply for social security retirement or survivor benefits to get it even though he or she did not plan to retire. Under the new law. people can apply only for Medicare hospital insurance. They still, however, must meet the requirements for retirement or survivor benefits. In addition, a husband or wife can qualify for hospital insurance on his or her spouse's record at 65. even though the spouse does not retire, provided both are eligible for monthly benefits. Another provision of the new law allows a person who applied for retirement or survivor benefits just to get hospital insurance to withdraw his or her application for cash benefits and still keep Medicare protection in effect.

Newman Jr. says. There are several reasons why moped owners may be misinformed about their insurance coverage. One is that personal liability arising from non-motorized vehicles, such as bicycles, is covered under homeowners contracts, and many people consider mopeds to be bicycles. However, the homeowners contract excludes liability coverage for any motorized vehicle, except those not licensed for road use and then only while used on the insured premises. The personal automobile insurance contract covers as owned vehicles only fourwheel private passenger vehicles. Another reason is that many moped dealers advertise as a moped selling feature the fact that insurance is not required for mopeds. This is essentially true, in that mopeds are not covered by the state's financial responsibility laws and do not have to be licensed. However, many buyers misinterpret the statement that “no insurance is required" to mean that there is automatic coverage under either their automobile policy or their homeowners policy. In fact, the mopeds are not covered either for liability coverage or for physical damage coverage (fire, theft, collision, etc.) under either policy. Insurance for mopeds can be purchased separately under a basic automobile policy (as opposed to a personal auto policy) for both liability and physical damage. Also, many companies offer a recreational vehicle policy, which covers snowmobiles, mopeds, allterrain vehicles, and the like. Premiums for moped coverages are relatively low. Commissioner Newman urged all moped operators to check with their insurance agent to make sure they are properly covered. - r I FAUQUIER UVESTOCK EXCHANGE ■ncoh^owatkd REGULAR SALES Evsry Tues.

Blood-Suckers Ticks Present Health Hazard In Virginia * Now that spring has come, Virginians planning to spend time outdoors should be on the lookout for ticks. This word of caution comes from William H. Robinson, extension entomologist, who points out ticks not only arouse feelings of annoyance and revulsion in many people, but also present a distinct health hazard because of their blood-sucking habit. “In the past two decades, we have seen a rise in the occurrence of tick infestations on people in Virginia,” says Robinson. “There has also been an increase in reports of the major disease ticks carry in our area, Rocky Mountain * spotted fever (RMSF).” Although the disease is named after the western mountain range, it is most common in the Southeastern and South Central regions of the United States. Virginia and North Carolina usually have the dubious distinction of leading the nation in the V / American Dog Tick incidence of this desease. “Of about IS kinds of ticks in Virginia, only three are common pests of man,” Robinson explains. “These are the American dog tick, the lone star tick and the brown dog tick. The first two, but especially the American dog tick, transmit RMSF.” The adult of the American dog tick is brown, with many spots or streaks of white on the back. These ticks have been found in over 50 counties and 15 cities in Virginia, from the Atlantic coast to the mountains, but mostly in the Piedmont region. Lone star ticks are dark Pickin ’ Begins With Berries With the ripening of strawberries, the pick-yourown season in Virginia swings into high gear. A pick-your-own berries guide, available free from the state Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, lists several farms in the county or within easy picking distance of Rappahannock. Jordan River Farm in Huntly on Route 637 offers organically grown pick-your own or picked-to-order strawberries expected to be available from June 1-30. Customers are asked to call 636-9388 for daily hours. Hartland Orchard in Markham (364-2316) has pick-your-own Montmorency cherries that will be ready by the middle of June. By the middle of August, late summer raspberries will be ripe for picking at Harmony Hollow Orchard (637-2009) in Front Royal. In neighboring Fauquier County, Manor Lane Farm (347-4883) off Route 211 four miles west of Warrenton, has pick-your-own strawberries, containers furnished, from May 10 through Juen 20. Danny's Market in Luray (778-2772) and Future Farmers Of America at the high school in Madison (9486338 and 948-6350) will have strawberries for picking from the middle of May through the middle of June. Rapidan Berry Gardens' toll free number (800-5722262) will give prospective pickers information on when strawberries, raspberries and boysenberries will be ready. As all ripening dates are approximate, the Virginia Department of Agricluture Sports Camps Offered Radford University's intercollegiate athletics department will offer three sports camps for boys and girls this summer.

These ticks are not widely distributed in Virginia. They have been recorded in about 35 counties. The brown dog tick is uniformly dirty brown and the most uncommon of the three. It is satisfied with dogs as a host. This tick will infest homes and other buildings if dogs are present, but seldom bite people. In Virginia, they are a household problem chiefly in the winter, because they can survive only in heated buildings. The brown dog tick does not transmit RMSF. Ticks are eight-legged creatures, usually brown or black in color. Primarily outdoor pests, in their ill ^ e Lone Star Tick seasons of greatest abudnance they are likely to reinfest any person or animal that goes through grassy, brushy or wooded areas—all of which are good homes for ticks. Most species of ticks can’t survive in cleared areas where they are exposed to excessive sunlight and predators. Keeping areas clear of debris is important in tick control. “Overwintering ticks become active in early spring, but the majority of the activity is in late spring and summer,” says Robinson. “The period of greatest risk is early-to-mid-summer. About 90 percent of the RMSF cases occur in July.” The disease is transmitted by only one to two percent of the total tick population and a tick must feed for at least six to ten hours before it can infect humans.

Symptoms occur from two to 12 days after a tick bite and include sudden chills, severe headache, high fever, joint and muscle aches, tired feeling and always, a measlelike rash. “If you get any of these symptoms during tick season, see your physician,” advises Robinson. “Be sure to tell him if you had a tick on you, or if you remember removing a tick from your pet.” Robinson, a Virginia Tech specialist recommends these steps to aid in tick control: —Proper dressing is very important. Tuck pants legs into socks or boot tops, shirt into pants, and keep sleeves and jacket buttoned. The layering effect will reduce ttye tick’s choice of meal sites as it climbs upward. —Spray shoes and clothes with mosquito or other insect repellent before going into areas where ticks might live. —Examine yourself and your children for ticks several times a day. Look for them in the hair, armpits and groin. Ticks seldom attach in less than three to four hours. —Remove ticks immediately. Pull them out gently by grasping them at the head end and using a slow, steady pull. Be careful not to break off its mouthparts. Apply an antiseptic to the bite site, then wash your hands well with soap and water to reduce the risk of spreading disease. —Pet owners are advised to examine their animals frequently. Light infestations can be controlled by rubbing carbaryl (Serin) dust into the pet’s hair. Also treat the animfcl’s sleeping quarters and replace old bedding with fresh, untreated bedding. Look for attached ticks especially on the neck, in and about the ears, under legs and between toes.
