Kilpatrick's farm waiting for the Presidential helicopter to lift off at 3:30. The Reagans were dinner guests of the Kilpatricks. By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock M#*w» Staff Writer The hillsides near Red Oak Mountain bristled with Secret Service agents on Sunday as President Ronald Reagan flew in from the White House to have lunch with conservative columnist James J. Kilpatrick and his wife', Marie Petri. As part of extraordinary security arrangements, a decoy helicopter complete with presidential seal landed first, followed a few. minutes later by a second helicopter carrying the President’s party. As Reagan and the first lady alighted, a limousine kept pace with the couple while they walked from the helicopter to the Kilpatricks’ house just over the hill. The vehicle effectively blocked Reagan from view by the Washington press, including camera crews from network news, much to the chagrin of media representatives who had made the long Sunday drive out from D. C. Photographers and reporters were allowed only as far as the rail fence which separates the Kilpatricks’ carefully manicured lawn from the state right-of-way. Secret Service men tromped from the house to White Walnut Hill’s entrance, their eyes constantly scanning hillsides and road. “Have you guys seen any unfamiliar faces down here?” asked one agent, speaking from his side of the fence to the knot of reporters and cameramen waiting in the roadside ditch. “Nobody but you!’’ came the reply. ‘‘Where’s your identification?” The President’s special protectors were easy to spot In addition to Secret Service lapel pins and wires running from underneath jackets to radio earplugs, they all appeared to share the same hair stylist and tailor. Several were asked for estimates on the count of agents in the Red Oak area but all refused to speculate. Sheriff W. A. Buntin guessed, based on his observations, that the contingent may have numbered as high as 40. Security arrangements also included road blocks by state police and the Rappahannock sheriff’s department at Five Forks intersection and Woodville, both ends of the only access road to Kilpatrick’s White Walnut Hill. Motorists were stopped for identification checks and only residents along Rudacille’s Mill Road were allowed through during Reagan’s two hour visit. While the President and his wife were inside dining with the Kilpatricks and other guests, marines in full dress uniform marched guard duty around the helicopter. The Sperryville fire department and rescue squad were also on hand in case of emergency. The rescue ambulance and first fire truck with four white shirted firemen squeezed in the front seat and four hanging on the rear arrived well before the helicopter landed, followed some time later by a brush truck bringing cold drinks to the parched firemen. The guest list for the social occasion was short. Local people included the Kilpatricks’ son and daughter-in-law, Sean and Sharon Kilpatrick of Woodville and their children, Heather and Douglas, Charles and Ginny Swaim of Flint Hill, Dr. Alfred Cramer of Culpeper, state Republican chairman, and Mrs. Lewis L. Straus of Brandy Station. Visiting dignitaries included Ambassador Peter Towe of Canada. Ambassador Hugo Margain of Mexico and Senator Orrin Hatch. All but one of the chauffer driven limousines that rolled into the Kilpatricks’ got lost on the drive out from the city, according to Sean Kilpatrick. One was even sent out on Saturday to make sure the driver could find Rappahannock. "He missed the turnoff at Gainesville and drove all the way to Front Royal!” Sean reported. Sen. Hatch hitched a ride with press representatives who recognized him after he was stranded when his vehicle died on the two-hour trip, a victim of country roads. According to Sean, his mother thought she’d have to feed 24 but ended up cooking for “50 or 60.” The press corps almost went without when a tray of food sent down for their tent was left on the hood of a police car. Hungry sheriffs deputies commandeered the cold cuts and cheese and were just ab%«t ready to send down to Burke’s Store in Woodville for bread when the booty was recovered from the backseat of their cruiser. Local supervisor H. B. Wood was apparently able to convince police on duty at each end of the road that he didn’t pose a threat to the President’s safety and was allowed through the blockade in his pick-up truck with his wife, Betty, their son Henry B., Mrs. H. B. Wood Sr., Mrs. Mary Botts Quaintance and Teresa McLawhorn, physical education teacher at the elementary school. Wood was pressed into duty with his truck to pull a cable news crew’s station wagon from the ditch. The driver, a native of Chicago, apparently forgot where he was parking and pulled too far over, looking for the curb.

J L Adopted For One Year Supervisors Endorse Use Value Taxation By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Hours of sometimes impassioned testimony on the endangered status of farming here ended with the adoption of county-wide use value taxation by the Rappahannock supervisors on Monday. In a split decision with E. P. Luke and Hubert Gilkey opposed, the supervisors voted to give preferential tax treatment to agricultural, fbrestal, horticultural and open space land which meets criteria set by the General Assembly in enabling legislation. Under a use value program, qualifying land is taxed on the basis of its productive value for farming or forestry rather than its fair market value for development. Local farmer Robert B. Settle was a rallying point for proponents of county-wide land use. Prior to the board’s action on Monday, only property in approved Agricultural and Forestal Districts which must be a minimum of 500 contiguous acres was eligible for land use. “How are we going to tell B. Settle who only has 150 acres that he can’t have land use because he can’t get into a 500 acre agricultural district?” asked Newbill Miller. Settle reported that he'd surveyed his neighbors and found none interested in joining together to reach the 500 acre minimum. One neighbor with 90 acres said he’d “rather pay the taxes than be involved” while another adjoining landowner with 130 acres said he was in poor health “and didn’t want to leave everything messed up for his wife,” according to Settle. Sole Income “I make every nickle I earn in the dirt, from farming,” he continued. Under the new 100 percent fair market value assessment. Settle said, some (Continued on Page 11) RGHS Commencement Scheduled Friday Commencement at Rappahannock County High School for the 77 candidates for graduation is scheduled for this Friday night at eight o’clock in the school auditorium.

This will be the thirty-first annual commencement of the consolidated Rappahannock County High School. Comments Few At Hearing On $3 Million Budget By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock ^rw« Staff tHlrr Supporters of a capital outlay program at the county high school and a school board member sharply critical of raises and employee benefits in the school budget were among the handful of speakers at the supervisors’ public hearing Monday on the proposed 1981-82 county budget. Final vote on the S3,158,801 budget is set for next Monday, June 8, at a special 9 a.m. session in the court house. The tax rate required to support proposed expenditures for the coming fiscal year is $5.70 per $100 on real estate and $1.40 on licensed vehicles (personal property). Although no changes in the advertised budget were made on Monday, it’s still too early to rule out the possibility, judging by statements from supervisor H. B. Wood. "My opinion is that we could cut it down to a SS.25 rate if we were really serious about it,” said Wood. In actuality, his suggestion would mean maintaining the county’s current level of taxation since all but 45 cents of the proposed tax hike over this year’s S4.40 rate is directly attributable to the tax shift resulting from the supervisors’ decision earlier this year to drop the levy on farm machinery, livestock, household goods and merchants capital. Luke Resigns As Supervisor In the finale to a five and a half hour meeting of the board of supervisors on Monday, chairman E. P. Luke announced his resignation, effective June 30. The Piedmont District representative’s announcement came at the close of a two hour executive session on “personnel, contracts and litigation.” Luke said his resignation was for personal reasons —“partly for health and partly because it’s gotten to be too much of a hassle.” In addition, he said, his continued service on the board of supervisors and the planning commission interferes with the legal practice of his son and daughter-in-law, local attorneys Peter Luke and Sharon Geneback-Luke. He acknowledged that their representative of clients before either body of which he is a member doesn’t constitute a conflict of in terest under Virginia law. “But it certainly gives the appearance of a conflict,” he added. According to commonwealth's attorney Douglas Baumgardner, the Virginia Code gives the remaining members of the board of supervisors authority to fill the vacancy created by Luke’s resignation. If the supervisors cannot agree or do not act within 30 days of July 1, the appointment will be made by Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson. Whether named by the supervisors or the Judge, the appointee, who must be a qualified voter in Piedmont District, will serve until the general election in November, 1981. At that time, the voters in Piedmont District will choose someone to finish out the remaining two years of Luke’s unexpired term. Bid On County Funds Dr. Werner Krebser led off speakers at the public hearing with a proposal that the supervisors solicit bids from banks interested in handling county funds. He noted that between MOO,000 and $500,000 is currently deposited in Rappahannock National Bank, earning interest of approximately 14 to 15 per cent. At present, treasury bills earn between 16 and 17 per cent, according to Krebser. “I think when we’re short of money, especially when $6,000 for architectural fees is cut from the school budget...the county should change the procedure of how its money is given to the bank to use. We should get the best return possible and we can’t do that without competitive bidding,” he maintained. Both Robert Eastham, school board member, and Herbert Foster, former chairman of the county supervisors, agreed with Krebser’s suggestion. Addressing himself to the budget, Krebser criticized cuts which he maintained will result in further delays on the capital improvements program for the county high school. “The longer we dalay, the more it will cost,” he said, pointing out that construction costs are climbing by 15-20 per cent (Continued on Page 4) Meeting Change The June meeting of the Rappahannock County School Board will be held on Tuesday, June 16, instead of the second Tuesday of the month, as regularly scheduled. In addition, the board will continue to begin meetings at 7:30 p.m. despite the change to daylight savings time.

Wakefield Horse Show Results Ribbons and trophies were awarded scores of young equestriennes at Saturday’s horse and pony show sponsored by Wakefield School and held at the Marshall 4-H grounds. A perpetual trophy, donated by McDaniel Jewelers of Front Royal was given the Wakefield student accumulating the most points during the show.

It was standing room only on Friday *and Saturday nights at Rappahannock County High School for Rodger and Hammerstein’s “Oklahoma!” And at the end of this rousing production, most of those lucky enough to have a seat decided to stand up too. With a minimum of encouragement, the audience would have burst forth with its own performance of “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’.” “Oklahoma!” is often considered an old workhorse—it is probably performed dozens of times a year in high schools and community theatres across the country; yet, it never fails to entertain and even surprise new audiences. With the help of some very talented students, director Don Bomberger brought this trusty workhorse to Rappahannock County and made it look like Pleasant Colony at Churchilll Downs. The plot of “Oklahoma!” is simple: boy woos girl; girl plays hard to get. A few subplots add interest and comedy. Curly is the cowboy who is trying to win the farmer’s daughter, Laurey; he is also the character who carries the play. Bomberger made a wonderful choice when he cast Bob Baines, a ninth grader, in this key role. Baines has a strong, clear voice with an endearing nasal quality—perfectly suited to musical comedy and mature beyond his years. His physical presence also belies his age, permitting him to be cast opposite a senior girl without ending up looking like her kid brother instead of her suitor. Baines ambled about the stage, oozing confidence and appearing to enjoy himself immensely His funny lines were funny, and he made the love scenes tender and believable—and that in the face of the hoots and whistles of his peers in the audience. Fine performance. And he has three years to go—stay tuned. Sharon Settle gave a lovely, natural performance as the coy Laurey. Her fine soprano voice worked,.well with, Curly’s voice. (It was a great relief to discover early on that Panther Tales By ROBIN COOPER and RUSTY SETTLE Mr. Don Bomberger was chosen as “Teacher of the Month" for May. He teaches several subjects at the high school, including Trigonometry, Calculus, Algebra and Art He also chooses and directs the plays put on each year by the students. Mr. Bomberger is very dedicated to his students and is always ready to lend a helping hand. This devotion and excellent teaching ability earns him a place of honor in the hearts of RCHS students.

Settle contributed as much as Baines to the illusion of the love scenes and both of them were particularly believable as newlyweds in the last scene. The part of Aunt Eller was played by Judith Bloomer, who capably managed to look the part of a crusty old farm woman, dispensing advice, admonishment and—in the case of Ali Hakim, some wax from her dasher. Bloomer drew some of the best laughs of the evening with her snappy timing in the auction scene. Another very young (8th grade) student gave a memorable and spirited portrayal of the simpleminded and promiscuous Ado Annie. Julie Burke was delightful in the role and worked it skillfully for every laugh she could grab. As with Bob Baines, she is another one we can look forward to seeing in future productions. The slippery peddler, Ali Hakim (Jim McCullough), was an audience favorite, and McCullough obviously relished his role. A minor character, Ike Skidmore (who?), was made noteworthy by Bobby Ludwick’s easygoing stage presence and his crisp dancing that stood out in the ensemble numbers. Ingenious set designs were constructed by James Dennis and his shop classes with quick set changes carried out by the actors in view of the audience. The smokehouse was especially well done, lending an effectively somber backdrop for the villain, Jud Fry, played with understated malevolence by David Bywaters. A small orchestra, under the direction of Judy Bomberger, provided the accompaniment and added an extra dimension and professionalism, to the production.

Wondering if what she saw land in a tall pine tree at her farm was a very large yellow bird, Mrs. Charles A. Wood went to investigate for she had never seen such a large yellow bird. It was, however, a large yellow balloon too high in the tree for retrieving, which had landed at “Dun-Lookin” farm at Boston. When her grandson Stephen Filyo Jr. of Gaithersburg who is in the Air Force and a friend, a policeman from Montgomery County, came visiting, they climbed the tree and brought the balloon down. A note attached revealed this balloon was one of 600 released by the third grade students of Whitmore Lake Public School in Whitmore, Mich. This was project Young Authors Lift-Off and anyone finding a balloon was asked to return the tag and send a note saying where the balloon was found. Mrs. Wood complied and in return received a note from the school in this farming community informing her that Gary Kurth was the student who released the balloon. There had been 20 returns and this was the one which had traveled the longest distance. They also asked that any information published concerning the balloons be sent them. i—AmeriGas-i SHENGAS DIVISION 327 No Royal Ave Front Royal.

t nureaay, June 4, ivol O Horses Are Business Partners At Atkins9 Rainbow Trails »y UAFHNE HUTCHINSON R{PI>«)unw>cli New. Staff Writer If home is where the heart is, then Alson Atkin’s Sperryville home isn’t the white frame house on the banks of the Thornton River. If home is where the heart is, Alson belongs next door at Rainbow Trails Stable with his IS horses. Rainbow Trails doesn’t cater to hotdogs on horse* back or urban cowboys out for a fast gallop. Alson’s string of gentle, well-trained mounts are almost members of the family, loved far too much to trust to the hands of strange city slickers without proper supervision. When his horses leave the barn, either Alson or his assistant Esther Schmidt leave with them, eyes and ears open to any hint of equine abuse. “I care for my horses. I don’t want anybody mistreating them or getting into a horse race and hurting themselves,*’ Alson explained. Many a greenhorn has taken to the saddle for the first time at Rainbow Trails, following Esther or Alson through the meadows and forests of the Blue Ridge foothills. Most come back a second, third and fourth time, turning into steady customers, each with a favorite mount. “It’s a family thing. Kids learn to ride here. They grow up, get married and then come back with their wives and kids,” Esther said. One set of regulars recently ended their marriage but the relationship with Rainbow Trails survived the divorce. They’ve remarried now and come regularly with their new spouses. “We only hope they don’t all show up at the same time one day!” Esther added. Rappahannock Newt Photo/Daphne Hntchmton SADDLES COME WITH SEAT BELTS for tiny tots at Alson Atkins’ Rainbow Trails Stable in Sperryville. Two year old Joey Chambers of Fredericksburg took his first horseback ride after Alson strapped him onto Danny, a 25-year-old unflappable, child-proof pony. Alson and Esther enfold their regular customers with the warmth and attention they shower on the horses. Children, in particular, return their affections. Youngsters who’ve spent summers at Rainbow Trails’ informal riding camps have to be torn away in tears by their parents when the time comes to go home. They write regularly, checking on the health and happiness of a favorite horse. Esther shared a letter that arrived a couple weeks ago, a poignant plea from a little girl in New Jersey who just has to get back to Sperryville this summer to see her beloved Danny, a faded 25 year old pinto pony, one of the old time troopers in Alson’s stables. “If we put our heads fyfeal ^ Estate REALTY WORLD* &l—n *41.

This season, Alson plans to organize the impromptu summer riding camps of past years into a more formal program with out-of-county youngsters boarding in his home during the week and local kids coming for the day. More than just riding lessons are involved although young horse lovers will still spend most of their time in the saddle, either riding in the new ring or following miles of trails up into the hills from Sperryville to Shenandoah National Park. “We want to totally familiarize the kids with horses. We want to make them comfortable and we want them to have fun,” said Esther. They’ll learn how to pick a hoof and pull a mane, how to put on a saddle and bridle, how to brush their mounts and clean tack after a hard day’s ride, and how to muck out a stall. ruus learn 10 nae ana then they want a horse but they don’t know the first thing about taking care of an animal. We want to teach them how to care for a horse—and how to feed one. You can ruin a horse just as easily by feeding him too much as you can by not feeding him enough,” Alson emphasized. In addition to the new summer program, Alson and Esther will continue to lead trail rides, taking customers out for one hour, two hours, all day, overnight—just about any kind of arrangement that will fit under a saddle. “It’s getting a little big for me now,” said Alson, who at 68 has the vitality and energy of a rider forty years his junior. He jokingly refers to himself as an old man but if his bones creak a bit, it’s not evident when he vaults into the saddle and canters across a field. In addition to the escort riding, stable chores, carpentry and fencing labor that Downtown Culpeper FAMOUS BRAND GIFTS FOR w THEGRAD OR FOR DAD We have the best in a complete selection of clothing, shoes, luggage, leather goods, china, glass and other gift items. Shop both levels and give the very best. he share with Esther, Alson does all of his own vet work and most of the shoeing. Along with his wide smilejl, he dispenses little gems of equine lore and expertise that he’s picked up over a lifetime’s association with horses. Secret Formula As an example, there’s not a rider today who doesn’t wonder while surrounded by a cloud of nasty bloodsucking flies how modern technology can put a man on the moon but fail to come up with a fly wipe that works much longer than 30 minutes. Alson is one step ahead of science. He mixes a few drops of fly repellant with bacon grease or lard that’s turn too strong and then brushes on the foul smelling glop underneath the horse’s chin, in the ears, on the face—anywhere flies congregate. He swears it works and judging by the absence of pests during a hot and sweaty ride last week, he’s stumbled onto the secret formula. Alson grew up on a farm when four-footed equine power still ranked ahead of tractors. Without agriculture’s mechanical revolution, he might have stayed in the fields but when the horses left, so did Alson. For a while, he tried carpentry and then switched to stonemasonry, learning from Charlie Sisk, one of the county’s masters, according to Alson. “When Charlies was ready to retire, I knew enough to go into the stone trade on my own. I had horses and cattle the whole time, though. We bought them, bred them, broke them.” He managed the livestock with help from his youngest son, the only one of his children to share a love for norses. "When he left for a job in the city, it knocked the wind out of me. I sold every horse . and pony I had, must have been 25 head. But then I had nothing to go to the barn to feed in the winter when the weather got bad!” he chuckled. Just about the time that Alson started missing those treks through knee-deep snow, his health brought horses back into his life. "Stone work commenced to cause me problems.

So I went back to the next best thing that I like, fooling with horses,” Alson recalled with a grin as big as a Cheshire cat’s hinting that horses never ranked second at all. He started with three or four and gradually built up his string over the past 12 years to the 15 head he has today. “Most of them are off the farm. You know what happens when kids grow up. They have horse fever for a little while and then they move on to boys and cars,” he joked.

A horse is no better than the eyes and the legs he’s got. If his eyeball’s nice and clear, he’s all right but if it’s cloudy, if you can’t see insides, he’s no good.” In selecting animals off the farm or from under the auctioneer’s gavel, Alson tries to stay away from thoroughbreds. “They’re too high strung for this business.

We are asking the people of the county to join in this effort by making sure there are enough funds to continue this very effective work. Donations may be sent to Mrs. Frances Thornton, Treasurer, Mental Health Association in Rappahannock County, Sperryville, Virginia. Thank you for this opportunity to inform the public. RONALD L. WILEY President Mental Health Association in Rappahannock County Local Men On Nimitz Curtis Nichols, son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Nichols of Flint Fill, escaped injury last week when a jet crashed into the deck of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz. Nichols, a first class midshipman at Virginia Military Academy, joined the Nimitz at Norfolk on May 13 for a summer training cruise to the Caribbean which will last until June 12. The training exercise was halted abruptly just before midnight on Tuesday, May 26, when a Marine EA-6B Prowler landed off center and smashed through rows of parked planes, killing 14 men and injuring 48. “It was an anxious time,” Mrs. Nichols said. "I heart about it on my way to work Wednesday morning.” By Wednesday evening, the Nichols had word from their son Andy, a communications officer in California, that his brother’s name did not appear on any casualty list. “Then Curtis called us Thursday and told us he was all right,” Mrs. Nichols said. Francis L. (Buck) Payne, brother of Mrs. Sandra Brown of Sperryville, was also on board the Nimitz when the crash occurred. LI Payne, assigned to duties tying down aircraft on the carrier, had just gone below decks when the crash occurred. Payne was also assigned to the Nimitz when it took part in the unsuccessful attempt to rescue the American hostages in Iran. Both Payne and Nichols are graduates of Rappahannock County High School. Comments Few At Hearing On $3 Million Budget (Continued from Page 1) per year. Elimination of $6,000 for architectural fees from school expenditures for 1981-82 is “really burying your head in the sand. We’re really going to have to pay through the nose in two or three years. Also, it’s not very good for the children,” he concluded. Bob Dennis maintained that the mood in the county is “to improve the school system,’’ suggesting that money bcjfaund somewhere for a capital improvements program at the high school. He also noted that over the years, new teachers have gained experience in Rappahannock schools and then moved on to other localities which offered better salaries and benefits. “There’s a lot of opinion in the county (in support of school expenditures) that hasn’t been very well voiced to date for whatever the reasons...Our family supports more money for the schools,” he said. Diana Bird also protested 'the $89,100 cut in school expenditures made last month by the supervisors and added her support for higher taxes if the money went to the schools. Uneducated people generally feel that education is unimportant, according to Bird. “There are a lot of people in this county who didn’t graduate from high school and they’re not r putting pressure on for better education,” she said. Double Talk Charged Claiming that the public has been "misled by double talk,” school board member Robert Eastham criticized his board’s majority decision to absorb the supervisors’ $189,100 cut to the school budget without touching proposed salary increases and fringe benefits. He recalled that chairman E. P. Luke informed the school board that the supervisors wanted payment of hospitalization premiums deleted from the school budget. Provision of three per cent annual salary towards hospitalization premiums was included in the budget “on demand of the local NEA,” claimed Eastham. He added that the supervisors also wanted the 12.4 salary raise, likewise "demanded by the NEA,” reduced to 10 per cent. Eastham acknowledged, however, that the supervisors cut $189,100 from the bottom line of the budget rather than specific categories, telling the school board that “it’s up to you to take the cuts where you think best.” Action taken by majority vote of the school board resulted in only $60,000 worth of actual cuts, according to Eastham. The rest came from ‘‘double bookkeeping, double talk and Chinese arithmetic,” from “waving a magic wand” to make salaries and fixed charges (relating to life insurance, retirement, social security and hospitalization) “appear and disappear to meet the purposes of the moment,” he said. He claimed that the alleged reductions made by, the school board in response to the supervisors’ budget cuts are partially the result of excluding the school lunch funds. “There’s no accounting, no auditing and no budgeting of the school lunch funds," he claimed. Further, said Eastham, the salary figure for school employees reported to the state department of education is $1,416,000, according to school records, while the “painless cut” given by the school board in response to the $189,100 budget reduction is based on salaries totalling "one million, two hundred and some thousand.” He requested that approval of the county budget be delayed until Rappahannock accountant Wally Cox has an opportunity to verify figures for school expenditures. Not To Placate Louise Ellis countered that the school board’s action to absorb the budget cuts without reducing the 12.4 per cent raises or eliminating hospitalization benefits was not “something done to placate the teachers,” as Eastham suggested. The school board members had “public input as to what the citizens of the county wanted” and full support of the citizens in their districts for teacher salaries and benefits, she said. Acknowledging that he and Eastham have differed philosophically in the past, Bill Fletcher described the Wakefield representative as “knowledgeable on budgets.” He seconded the suggestion that figures be checked if one set of numbers is being reported to Richmond and another for county budget purposes. “I don’t know much about budgets but I do know about children,” said Mary Beth Martin. “I don’t feel that you’re meeting your obligation to educating the children of this county,” she told the supervisors. In response to Eastham’s criticism, school board member Newbill Miller maintained that the majority decision to absorb budget cuts without affecting proposed salaries and benefits “was not made under duress” and that the board’s action complied with the supervisors’ directive. Accountant Wally Cox agreed that the school budget, sent to both the supervisors and to the state department of education was “in the proper form.” The Water! Drilling began Tuesday on the new town well located on the Updike farm just outside of Washington. According to Mayor Newbill Miller, the drill struck water at about 75 feet. “Everything looks real promising,” Miller said. "But we’re going down to two hundred feet just for insurance.” Miller said that when drilling stopped Tuesday night, the flow was about fifty gallons per minute. The new well site is the one chosen as most likely to produce a good flow of water by the state geologist. The well, plus recent rains, greatly improves the water supply picture for the town after a year-long battle with drought, dry wells, and leaky old pipes. I school board conformed with the supervisors’ direction to reduce school expenditures by the required amount “as far as I can tell,” he added. Nothing Awry Chairman E. P. Luke reported that Cox had gone over the figures that morning with superintendent William Bloomer. “He couldn’t find anything awry. They look all right to him,” the chairman added. Luke said the board must wait seven days before taking a final vote on the budget which will provide ample time to satisfy all questions. He emphasized that the supervisors had given bottom line approval to the school budget in cutting the S189.100 and a that the board’s action to absorb the reduction without affecting salary or benefits was "a perfectly legal thing to do.” The school board works regularly with school issues every month, he continued. “If they don’t know what’s needed in those schools, there’s no one in this county who does,” Luke said, stressing tnat ne was referring to general school operations only, not to any capital improvements program. Eastham countered that last year, the supervisors restated their intention to keep control over categorical expenditures in the school budget, requiring the school board to come to them for approval before transferring funds between categories. "Then why didn’t you do it this year?” he demanded. “If you had wanted to cut out hospitalization, you could have done it just like that,” he said, snapping his fingers. “You could have cut fixed charges by $42,000 and knocked the 12.4 per cent to 10 per cent (for salary increases),” he said. Instead, by lowering only the bottom line of the budget, the supervisors allowed the school board to absorb the reduction partially through elimination of one new school bus, cutting “a direct service to my beloved school children,” Eastham charged. This suggestion from the superintendent prevailed, he said, because Dr. Bloomer convinced the other board members that they could get money for the school bus right back from surplus funds left over in the current budget. Beat For Education "I don’t think we were prevailed upon by anyone,” countered school board member Nancy Reeve. “We did what we thought best for the education of the children after hearing a lot of different input.” Chairman Beverly Massie agreed, recalling that the school board held a series of budget meetings to receive citizen input in addition to comment members regularly receive from constituents. School board member Nelson Lane noted that excessive teacher turn-over is a “tremendous problem” in the Rappahannock school system. He acknowledged, however, that the board’s action in. absorbing the budget cuts had ‘‘totally circumvented the directions from the supervisors. He recalled that he hadn’t voted on the budget proposals because of “mixed emotions,” adding that he thought the county “should do the best we can for education.” “I support Mr. Eastham in his concerns but he’s not a diplomat,” Lane continued. The questions involved in school issues are "very deep and involved,” he said, suggesting that concerned citizens “attend all the school board meetings and not just read about them.” Although he abstained from voting on the proposals to absorb the budget cuts, Lane added that he hated to see all the benefits for school employees and appropirations relating to capital outlay “thrown out.” Without commenting on the proposed 1981-82 budget, W. G. Eastham congratulated the supervisors on their work. “You’ve made it possible for us to live here by keeping taxes where we could live with them.” Local Unemployment Statistics Rappahannock County recorded an unemployment rate of 6.8% on April 1, the highest in the seven-county area, according to the Virginia Employment Commission summary. Statistics show that 186 of the labor force of 2,734 were unemployed. The national unemployment rate for April was 7.0%; the state rate was 5.2%. The statistics for the seven counties: COUNTY LABOR FORCE EMPLOYED UNEMPLOYED RATE Culpeper Fauquier Madison Orange Rappahannock Greene Louise 11,227 10,695 17,433 16,809 4,561 4,378 8,023 7,610 2,734 2,548 4,504 4,246 9,586 9,014 4.7% 532 3.6% 624 4.0% 183 j>.l% 413 6.8% 186 5.7% 258 6.1% 572 Responding to the tax proposals in land use aimed at helping farmers, Hugo Sinnott thanked the supervisors for “the tremendous job you’ve done in preserving the county.” He also requested the board to consider tax relief for the elderly, maintaining that persons receiving social security may not be able to meet their property taxes. Rock Bottom Taxes “We’re trying to keep taxes as low as we ean...I think we’re about the lowest county in the state of Virginia,” replied Luke. "We don’t have any extra frills. We’re right on rock bottom.” Running a tax relief for the elderly program would require a clerk for administrative and investigative purposes, he noted. “But it might be something to look into, to cost out.” Sinnott responded that applicants should be able to furnish bank and social security statements, eliminating need for eligibility investigation. "Whenever you give somebody a break, somebody else has to pick up the load,” said supervisor Clarence Baldwin. The tax shift from providing tax relief for the elderly would have to be absorbed by young people, he added. “There are a lot of young ones who don’t want to take care of the old ones now. Later in the meeting, sheriff W. A. Buntin asked the supervisors to consider restoring funds for one additional police cruiser to the budget. The vehicle will pay for itself within two years through elimination of mileage reimbursements, he said. With his private car now used for police business ready to wear out, Buntin noted that he was requesting the additional vehicle for himself. Accountant Cox reported that the state compensation board will fund purchase price, operating expenses and insurance. To run the three deputies’ county-owned cars this year, it cost $10,000 for repairs, gas and liability while the state reimbursement totalled $16,832, leaving the county with $7,000 profit, according to Cox. The $2,400 price for the sheriffs cruiser can be recovered next year, he added. “It gets down to whether Rappahannock County needs four cars or not,” said Wood. "You say we’re going to make a profit on it but the money comes from somewhere! It comes from the state but state taxes are paid by Rappahannock County residents.” Buntin noted that he puts between 10,000 and 11,000 miles per year on his vehicle which would have to be reimbursed at the state approved rate of 20 cents peF mile. “My druthers are we not get the extra car,” Wood announced. With agreement from Cox that adding the car to the budget will not effect the proposed tax rate, Luke maintained that the county “should provide the wherewith-all to get the job done” and not depend on the sheriff to provide his own vehicle for county business. Wood countered that if the sheriff wanted to, he could work out an arrangement for sharing the three cars the department already has. “Is there any place we can find the money in the budget?” asked supervisor Dick Latham. When Luke answered that the money was there without raising the rate any higher, Wood argued that the supervisors should be talking about cutting the proposed budget, not adding to it. “My opinion is that we could cut it down to a $5.25 rate if we were really serious about it.” “There’s no way in the world we’re going to get away without increasing taxes,” the chairman maintained. With Clarence Baldwin already gone from the meeting, Luke suggested postponing the decision on the sheriff’s car until the special budget approval session set for 9 a.m. on June 8. June Trout Stocking Nearby streams to be stocked with trout during the first week in June will be the South River and Swift Run in Greene County; the Hughes River and Garth Run in Madison County; and Cedar Creek, Mill Creek, Passage Creek and Big Stoney Creek in Shenandoah County. The stocking has been made possible by recent ample rains. Two Stores Burglarized The Washington Cash Store in Washington and the Wakefield Service Station in Flint Hill have been broken into recently. According to Rappahannock County Sheriff W. A. Buntin, the Cash Store was burglarized the night of May 28 by thieves who entered by the front windows and apparently left the same way. They took two guns, Buntin said, and possibly some beer and cigarettes. Deputy Steve Crossman is investigating the incident. Early Wednesday morning the sheriffs office received word that Wakefield Service Station in Flint Hill had been broken into. Deputy John Henry Woodward is investigating this incident. The extent of the robbery is not known at this time.

By B1RGITT THORNHILL Exlrn*ion A*t*nl Cut Flower Care: Flowers that are properly cared for when cut will make longer lasting, attractive arrangements. Always use a sharp knife or shears to cut the flower stem. A dull cut will crush the stem and plug up the plant tissue so it can't carry water. Use a clean container for the flowers. Used containers should be cleaned thoroughly with a household bleach solution to get rid of any bacteria. After the flowers have been cut, put them in warm water and make sure several indies of the stem are below water. Remove any leaves that are covered by water. Then cover the flowers with a plastic film to prevent moisture loss and put them in a refrigerator or cool room for four to six hours.

Applications to reserve the special new plates, known as Communi-Plates, will be available at all DMV branch offices and license agencies, beginning May 26. Using a maximum of six and minimum of two characters, plus one optional space, motorists may combine and mix letters and numbers to form CommuniPlates like these: J JONES, LINDA, GEORGE, DOCTOR, LAWYER, GO CAVS, G MASON, NOT BAD, NO WAY, BACK UP, HOWR U, GO 4 IT, GOLFER, SAIL 8J, TENNIS, C SHELL and ITS 4 ME. Anyone who owns a passenger vehicle registered in Virginia may reserve CommuniPlates for an annual fee of S10 in addition to regular registration fees. The fee is calculated from the date the plates are reserved, net the date they are issued. Motorists don’t have to wait until their license plates expire before they apply for the special combinations. The reservation fee will be prorated according to the number of full months left in the registration period. For example, if your registration expires in January, and you reserve a set of CommuniPlates May 26, you would pay $6.67 to reserve that combination from May until the end of January. In. January, you would renew your .vehicle registration and pay an additional $10 fee to keep your Communi-Plates for 12 more months.

Ampersands, dashes and other forms of punctuation may not be used. Then the completed application and appropriate fee should be mailed to the Reserved License Plate Section at DMV headquarters in Richmond. CommuniPlates are unique and initially will be reserved according to the date the applications are postmarked. If two or more people request the same combination, the person whose application is processed first will receive it. If none of the requested combinations is available, DMV will attempt to contact the applicant by telephone during business hours. When the system is automated in July, applicants will be able to check the availability of CommuniPlate combinations when they apply at DMV branch offices. DMV does, however, reserve the right to refuse to issue any combinations that are unacceptable. Using a list -similar to one used in California, DMV has programmed its computer to reject applications for over 15,000 offensive or otherwise unacceptable combinations, including foreign words and phrases. For instance, motorists will not be able to reserve combinations in the regular passenger license plate series, composed of three letters preceded or followed by numbers above 100 (ABC 101 - ABC 999 or 101 ABC - 999ABC). Nor will they be able to request combinations reserved for motorists who meet special requirements such as HP - Handicapped, NR - Naval Reserve and RS - Rescue Squad. Information about restricted combinations will be available at DMV offices. Also, someone who qualifies for special license (nates such as the Rescue Squad plates would not be able to reserve a CommuniPlate combination like 1ST AID for use on those plates. After applications are processed at DMV headquarters, CommuniPlates will be individually manufactured at the Powhatan Correctional Center. Applicants should receive their CommuniPlates by mail within 60 days of the date they applied.

Best Wrsfera Assariates of WWiaarsiarg™ Best West*" Dateline: June 1, 1981 The Coal Strike - Now In Its 67th Day Please Eliminate All Non-Essential Use Of Electricity ... We Must Stretch Our Remaining Coal Supply To Continue Providing Your Electric Service Eliminating non-essential use of electricity is important because Potomac Edison uses coal to generate more than 95 percent of the electricity you use. And should the coal miners’ strike continue, your cooperation will help extend our ability to provide the electricity you need. Coal supplies have gone down considerably since the strike began March 27, and they are getting lower each day. Therefore, it is necessary to ask aU Potomac Edison customers to help conserve coal by using less electricity. Here are some ways you can cut back on your use of electricity at home: • Avoid all unneeded use of indoor lighting and electric appliances. • Turn off outdoor lights not needed for safety. • Reduce use of electrically heated hot water. • Use dishwasher, clothes washer and dryer only for full loads. • Operate air conditioners no lower than 78 degrees and turn off units in mild weather and on cool nights. Business and industry can also conserve by reducing air conditioning, hot water use and lighting, both indoors and out. In addition, we request they: • Turn off all show window and display lighting. • Restrict maintenance, cleaning and restocking activities to normal working hours. • Restrict use of elevators and escalators. If we all take some common-sense steps to reduce the use of electricity, our coal supply will last longer with a minimum of inconvenience. Potomac Edison Part of the Allegheny Power System

They’re good all-around animals, quiet, short coupled, easy to keep. Most of what we’ve got here are mixed breeds.” “They are a motley lot, aren’t they?” Esther added with a chuckle. Her semidisparaging remark was about as serious as the head shakes and clucks from the proud mother who’s trying to spark another round of compliments for her children. She loves them all—from the Roman-nosed, ewe necked paint with the free-flowing stride of a Tennessee Walker to the elderly Palamino mare who steadfastly refuses to act her 25-plus years. City Girl Unlike Alson, Esther .didn’t'grow up on '!sL ftfm. She learqgd everything she knows about horses at Rainbow Trail Stables. “I was raised in New York City. The only horses I rode as a kid were the wooden horses on the carousel," she said with a laugh and smile, standard punctuation marks in Esther’s conversation. She attended a performing arts high school in New York, ger goal a career as an ac tress. After majoring in .■rench in college, she switched her sights from stage and screen and worked several years for various trade magazines, writing and handling public relations. Then she and her husband moved to Washington, D. C., where Esther was director of hospital publications for Georgetown University Hospital for five years. After suffocating in the city all week, the couple would head for the Blue Ridge mountains on weekends. Passing through Sperryville on one of these escapes, Esther’s husband, an experienced horseman suggested that she satisfy one of her life’s ambitions and climb into the saddle at Rainbow Trails. “I was just terrible—an absolutely obnoxious, ride*-” «ahe recalled. “I wouldn't ride unless he held my hand. I cried and screamed every time the pony trotted or even started walking a little faster. I was just terrible.” But her husband wouldn’t let her give up. With his support, she found the courage to keep sticking a boot back into the stirrup, learning by trial and error under Alson’s supervision. —t*fcnt» CiWn) oI A—-Dn«gl«i Adana CHARLIE TOMPKINS and the Casanova Cut*Ups will be the featured artists at a bluegrass jamboree on Saturday, June 13, to benefit the Washington Volunteer Fire Department.

That was six years ago and I’ve been here ever since,” Esther said. Mucking out stalls at a Sperryville riding stables is a world away from the administrative offices at Georgetown Hospital but Esther, who now shares a cottage in Woodville with a girlfriend, doesn’t regret stepping down from what most people would consider a ladder to success. "I wouldn’t do anything else in the whole world. I’m totally satisifed.” “It’s a seven day a week responsibility and everywhere we look, we find another job,” said Esther, meeting nods of agreement from Alson. “There’s no place to let up but if you’re not going to stay on top of it, you shouldn’t be in the business.” Viking Sewing Machines Quilting Supplies, Solids end Calicos Lawn Chair and Boat Seat Canvas Handbag Handles, good selection PudtatM WmIs 20% OFF with this ad expires 6-15-81 GERMANNA FABRIC SHOP Charles Gilbert Lawrence III was graduated May 9, 1981 from Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond, Ky. with a BS degree in fire prevention and control.

I need a tax break or I’m going to have to shoot a road down through it and start selling lots,” he said. Settle added that he’d prefer to be in an agriculture and forestal district “but if I can’t, I’m going to need land use...If just four or five farmers are denied relief because they couldn’t get in an ag district, it would be a dirty thing,” he maintained. He repeated his warning that without tax relief, he’ll have to sell his property for development. “And you sure don’t need another school bus full of kids,” he told the supervisors. Settle emphasized that he has no quarrel with the $1,650 value placed on his land. “I could sell it for that much for lots but if you can farm that $1,650 an acre and make your taxes, come down and talk to me. I want to know how you do it!” He pointed out that the majority of the eligible landowners in Rappahannock have outside incomes and will probably not apply for land use. “But I make my living at farming. I have to get into it!” Settle concluded. “I’m not speaking on behalf of my family because we’re going to make it I know we are. We’re lucky,” said Nelson Lane whose family corporation is the county’s largest single landowner. But many of the county’s smaller farmers are not diversified and have no outside income, he added. These farmers need use value taxation in order to keep their land in agriculture, Lane said, pointing out that open farm land demands no county services. “We pay taxes for services,” he said. W. G. East ham, who has an 860 acre farm on Route 729, said he owns 400 acres “that I can make a little money on—the balance I can’t.” The non-productive portion is woodland, trees that will have to grow for at least anothei generation before they produce any income. With the county’s new 100 percent fair market value assessments which take effect next year, “I won’t be able to keep that mountain land if I don’t get a tax break,” Eastham said. Jack Atkins of Amissville gave the supervisors examples of how use value taxation could affect different properties in the A LINE UP WITH LYNE A man's kingdom, a woman's nest, security for children, real estatewise, such is first consideration.

Last year's $134.20 tax bill (on a house in Chester Gap) under the current discounted assessments with a true tax rate of 26 cents will drop to $119 with the new 100 percent fair market value assessments and a tax rate of 30 cents. If the tax shift from land use causes the rate to climb to SO cents, the levy on the Chester Gap house will be $198.50 according to Atkins. As another example, he cited the tax bill for a house and lot in Sperryville as $194.04 last year. With a 30 cent rate and new assessment, the bill on the Sperryville house will be $291.60 and with a SO cent rate, $486. By comparison, Atkins said, taxes on a farm in Amissville were $1,228.04 last year. With the new assessments and a 30 cent rate, that bill will climb to $1,582 and with a SO cent rate, to $2,637. "Without land use, the farmer’s going to continue to pay outrageous taxes," Atkins said, adding his support for Miller’s position that a county-wide use value taxation ordinance is necessary to provide relief to the small farmers who can’t put together the 500 acre minimum for an ag district. LodRmnt “This county needs a certain amount of revenue,” noted Robert Eastham. “Who’s going to take up the slack” and produce the money needed to balance the taxes lost through preferential treatment of farm land? he asked. Revenue lost through a land use program will have to be picked up in higher rates on houses, including farm houses, and land which doesn’t qualify for use value taxation, according to supervisor chairman E. P. Luke, on record as an opponent of county-wide use value taxation. He objected to preferential tax treatment which will enable farmers to stay in business “a while longer—That’s not good enough if they sell out (to development) three or four years down the toad-,’*' Liilte said. Supervisor H. B. Wood, a proponent of use value taxation, countered that implementation of the recent 100 percent fair market value assessment will shift the tax burden from the current sharing between house and land primarily onto the land alone. Enactment of countywide land use will be worth it, he maintained, if the program prevents the development of just one farm into subdivision lots. "Who’s picking up the slack (in lost revenue) on land use in agricultural districts?” asked supervisor Dick Latham. "No one’s protesting about that.” Use value taxation afforded property in an ag district hasn’t stirred opposition because, Luke maintained, the county derives benefits since the land is tied up with development restrictions for eight years, the duration of all districts approved in Rappahannock to date. The fanner gives up nothing for the tax breaks received in a general use value program since participants may withdraw property at any time, the supervisor chairman added. “You can get out of an agricultural district too," countered Wood. "If you don’t believe it, check with Culpeper,” he said referring to a petition for withdrawal from an ag district currently under consideration by the Culpeper supervisors. In Fauquier County also, a landowner is seeking to withdraw from an ag district. Salvation For Small Fame Nancy Reeve pointed out that large land owners, who already can qualify for land use by meeting the 500 acre minimum for an ag district, will actually derive little benefit from preferential tax treatment Their overall tax bills will not decrease significantly with land use since they will be paying a higher rate on their homes, barns, tenant houses and other improvements. On the other hand, the small farmers, who have few improvements, will get more of a tax break because they wilt be paying higher rates on their homes only, she said. “You’ll be saving the small farmers with county-wide land use taxation," Reeve said. “If I could farm with three acres, I would," interjected B. Settle. “But I need 200 to 300 acres to run beef cattle.” He described land as a tool of the trade fop farmers, comparable to the tool box and equipment— untaxed — that a carpenter carries to the city to earn a living. Without land use. Settle added, “I’ll be paying about one-third of what I make (in local real estate taxes)." Dr. Werner Krebser noted that adoption of county-wide iana use win necessitate expanding the staff of the commissioner of revenue’s office in order to process applications. He said he would much rather have a volunteer citizen’s committee interested in the county evaluating applicants for agricultural and forestal districts than a paid employee evaluating applications for general land use. The bureaucracy involved with formation of anag district, criticized repeatedly by Miller and others, is a one-time situation, Krebser said, while paricipants in general land use must reapply every year i in a continuing bureaucratic process. Commitment To Farming The eight year commitment involved with ag districts “will tell uS who’s really intersted in staying in farming,*’ the doctor continued. Adoption of a general use value taxation ordinance, on the other hand, will say “Why commitment yourself because the county’s going to give you land use,” Krebser maintained. While ag districts require 500 contiguous acres, once that minimum is reached, landowners within a mile of the boundaries may join, he pointed out, citing this as an option that already allows small farmers the opportunity for land use. counw noht/ ROBERT METCALFE GENERAL CONTRACTOR New Homes •Cabins •Additions •Remodeling Box 147 Flint Hill, Vs, 703*675*3897 Va.

"I’m glad to see this happening—people expressing ideas,” said Bill Fletcher. "We’re all working for the same goal, just trying to reach there by different roads...We all want to maintain the character and integrity of this county as much as we can.” Fletcher acknowledged that both land use taxation and ag districts have "inherent defects” and neither offers a complete solution to farmland preservation. "But land use taxation will allow B. Settle to survive for three or four more years until a new program comes along...It gives small farmers an opportunity for what large land owners can get with ease.” Rollback Taxes Questionable With general land use taxation, participants who withdraw from the program have to pay a rollback tax—the difference between use value taxation and fair market value taxation plus interest—when their land is changed to a non-qualifying use, Fletcher noted. “I think you’re going to have a problem getting that tax money back if land in an ag district is developed after eight years,” the Sperryville attorney warned. In addition to preserving the beauty of Rappahannock, “farmland holds down everybody’s tax rate,” Fletcher maintained. “I think you’d want to preserve it at any cost.” He argued that the only way to retain the county’s agricultural base is through giving “some kind of tax break to the people who are dumb enough...damn stupid, insane to stay in farming in Rappahannock...The land is beautiful but for farming, it’s terriblel It’s patheticl” he said. “I wish somebody had told me that!” interjected Wood, himself a farmer and orchard ist. “You’ll destroy B. Settle if you don’t give him land use,” Fletcher continued. Then in place of Settle’s 150 acre farm, the county will have a subdivision with eight houses on 25 acre lots with 16 additional school children to educate, he predicted, resulting in a net loss for everyone, including the small lot owner. “If you don’t do something to help the farmers, you’ll be destroying this county in the most rapid and effective way,” Fletcher told the supervisors. Louise Ellis said that her family had been driven out of iPrince William County by the high taxes that resulted from development of farm land. "We don’t want to be run out again," she said, supporting countywide land use. Limited Effectiveness Bob Dennis, director of he Piedmont Environmental Council, reported that countie with general land use taxation have found that it doesn’t do much to slow the conversion of farm land to more intensive uses while it does “impact the county treasury.” He added that both Loudoun and Fauquier counties are considering a reversal of county-wide land use taxation. In addition, a general land use ordinance is “quite easy to get around,” said Dennis, indicating that speculators often obtain benefit from the preferential tax treatment intended to help farmers. “If the small farmers don’t have a break, we’re going to have to sell out land to subdivision,” said Flint Hill orchardist Herbert Foster, adding that he and his two sons “work daylight to dusk and we can hardly make it.” False Threat “Who’s going to buy all these subdivision lots? Who’s going to build the houses and where are they all going to work?” asked David Konick. “That’s a false threat—that all the farmers in Rappahannock County are going to sell out at one time,” he said, maintaining that demand for homes here is limited. Konick noted the wide variation in farm and forest land values under the new assessment and questioned whether the 100 percent appraisal didn’t already allow land use for some properties. Luke attributed the difference in assessments to parcel size, sales records for different areas of the county, road access and other factors. According to W^d, land use taxation Will equalize the differences by setting the same land values throughout the county based solely on soil type. “I’ll be honest. If I qualify (for land use). I’m for it," Konick admitted. “I’ve been a farmer myself,” said Alson Atkins, proprietor of Rainbow Trail Stables in Sperryville. “I don’t think I could make a living at it now. Farmers need support but I don’t think it’s a step in the right direction when you’re going to burden the house owners,” he told the supervisors.

Land Use— (Continued from Page 11) B. Settle responded that he expects his taxes will go up, whether land use is available or not. Even with use value taxation, he predicted his county tax bill will increase 30 percent. “I don’t think the house and lot owners’ bills are going to go up that much.” With no further speakers, Wood offered a motion to adopt the proposed countywide land use ordinance, including application fee of $50 plus 15 cents per acre. Baldwin Deciding Vote “I’ve spent more time and effort on this thing,” stated Clarence Baldwin as the board members, split 2-2 with Gilkey and Luke opposed and Wood and Latham in favor, waited for his decision. “One of the things that really hits home with me is that there are a dozen farmers in the same boat with Mr. Settle in my district. Since the large land owners are going to be able to get into agricultural districts anyway (and therefore be eligible for land use), the small fanners deserve some consideration.” Baldwin offered an amendment to Wood’s motion which stipulated that land use will be tried for a year and then studied “to see how many people are in it and what happens to taxes on old people and poor people.” With the amendment accepted by Wood, Baldwin voted in favor of the general ordinance. Passage of the ordinance makes use value taxation available county-wide for the 1982-83 tax year, the same time that the new 100 percent fair market value assessment becomes effective. Information on the program’s eligibility requirements can be obtained from the commissioner of revenue’s office. Question and answer booklets on land use are also available from the VPI Extension Service.
