Town Is Water Rich With 150 GPM Flow By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Nn»* Staff Writer "They’ll never have to worry about water again!” announced a jubilant Larry LeHew as the well he drilled for the town of Washington last week continued to gush ISO gallons per minute after 53 hours of continuous pumping. LeHew held a stop watch on the well pipe Thursday morning, ready to measure the time it took to fill a five gallon bucket. In two seconds, water was spilling over the top. According to the Front Royal driller, flow has been at least that strong since 7 a.m. Wednesday. Drought that parched Virginia last year left Washington with dry faucets in January as the town’s water supply gave out completely—first the main source springs on Jenkins Mountain in June, 1980, then the old 66 foot well seven months later. Truckloads of water were hauled into the empty reservoir while a dowser combed the woods with divining rods in a last ditch attempt to locate another well site after assistance from the health department failed to materialize. LeHew dug last winter at a location indicated by the water witch, drilling down to 410 feet. The well produced only a disappointing four to six gallons per minute, however, enough to eliminate trips by the water-hauling tanker truck but far below the IS gallon per minute output sought by Washington Mayor Newbill Miller. Water Rich Miller was wearing a grin as wide as LeHew’s last week at the prospect of a 216,000 gallon per day water supply. Samples have already been shipped off to the health department for tests on mineral and bacteria count. Once results are back, work will begin on laying 2,500 to 2,600 feet of pipe to connect the new well into the town system, according to Miller. Unconcerned over possible impurities, LeHew gave the well a taste test on Thursday, stretching out to drink from a pool formed by the water as it flowed down the hill to Rush River. “It tastes great!” was the verdict. The area around the new well site was pinpointed by (Continued on Page 8) THE SCHOLARSHIP GIVEN ANNUALLY by the Rappahannock County Garden Club to a graduate of the local high school who will continue their education went this year to Paula Butler, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul F. Butler of Boston. This is the Francis J. and Margaret W. Leonard scholarship of $1000, six hundred to be used this year and the remaining $400 the following year if they continue in school. Judith Bloomer received a $100 gift from the club as valedictorian. She is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. William Bloomer of Sperry ville. New Ass % School Superintendent Hired The Rappahannock school board voted unanimously at a special meeting Monday night to hire Gerald Stanley Lysik as assistant superintendent for the county’s public schools. Currently director of middle schools for the Syracuse, New York, city system, Dr. Lysik, 39 years old, is married and the father of four children. A native of Dewitt, New York, he earned his bachelor degree from St. Lawrence University with a major in physical education and minors in biology and psychology. He has a masters and doctoral degree from Syracuse University in the fields of educational administration and community education. His studies also included politics of education and secondary education. Lysik’s starting salary was set at $27,000. The vote to hire the assistant superintendent came after a two hour executive session. In addition to his hiring, the vacancy in the bookkeepers position and other unspecified appointments were considered, according to chairman Beverly Massie. Judging by Robert Eastham’s shouts that could be heard through two closed doors and above the hum of an air conditioner, the discussion was often heated. Audit Proposal Tabled A report from the Culpeper accounting firm of Young, Nicholas and Mills on procedures for an unqualified audit was also discussed briefly at Monday’s meeting. In a cover letter, CPA Vincent Beasley acknowledged that the system was designed “with the purpose of establishing early internal control over and safeguarding cash receipts for activity and cafeteria funds.” According to the CPA, the proposed system, “with proper staffing and enforcement, has the capability of detecting and-or preventing most errors and omissions through the normal duties of the participants." Beasley pointed out, however, that “a system cannot be designed which can absolutely prevent errors and-or omissions if challenged by reasonably intelligent individuals with an intent to perpetrate fraud or theft.” In addition, he noted that “there is a point where enforcement of the system becomes cost inefficient. While the system has the capability of accounting for each drink or pack of snacks, etc., to determine this would be extremely expensive in terms of time and personnel. It is up to the board to set the limit of enforcement and to provide adequate staff within those limits. We would request consultation prior to setting of limits to ensure that they are sufficient for our examination purposes.” Nelson Lane voiced his support for proceeding with steps to implement an unqualified audit of the cafeteria and activity funds “in a fashion that doesn’t (Continued on Page 2) Eastham Threatens To Request Audit By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer “You did not order the school board to go back and correct the superintendent’s arithmetic. You ordered us to cut the budget by $89,100!” Robert Eastham told the Rappahannock supervisors at Monday’s special budget adoption session. In a final swipe at 1981-82 expenditures, Eastham repeated charges that the school board has misled the public with “Chinese arithmetic” in acting on an $89,100 reduction in requested appropriations for next year. In a prepared statement read to the supervisors, he threatened to ask for an examination of schoolfinancial records by the state auditor if the board did not restore $1,250 for an unqualified audit of the cafeteria and activity funds to the 1981-82 budget. He also demanded that the supervisors order the school board to have procedures for the unqualified audit in place by July 1, 1981. In addition, Eastham accused the school board members of lying to each other and using students as pawns to achieve individual objectives. Nelson Lane, the only other school board member present at Monday’s meeting, told the supervisors he wanted to discuss the proposed 1981-82 school budget, “mentioning names,” in executive session. In answer to chairman E. P. Luke, he said he was acting as both a school board member and a private citizen. Eastham added that he likewise wanted to speak in that same dual capacity. Luke asked where were the remaining three school board members and if they knew of Eastham’s and Lane’s intentions. “I don’t know where the majority of the school board is. They weren’t at commencement Friday night and they’re not here today,” Eastham replied. In response to Luke’s question on the legality of appearing as school board members, both Eastham and Lane changed their status to tax paying, property owning citizens. Repeat Of Chargee Eastham’s concerns, stated previously to both the supervisors and his fellow school board members, relate to $89,100 chopped by the supervsiors from the 1981-82 budget approved by the school board. The supervisors suggested the cut be balanced in part by lowering raises for school employees from 12.4 percent to 10 percent and by eliminating partial payment of hospitalization premiums, a benefit approved for the first time this year. The supervisors did not exercise their authority to control the school budget by cate jories, however, authority that could have ensured compliance with suggestions on salaries and benefits. Instead, chairman E. P. Luke emphasized that the decision on where to take the cuts was up to the school board. By majority vote, the board absorbed the S89.100 loss by lowering projections on gasoline prices and by eliminating (1) appropriations for one school bus, (2) expansion of psychological and speech therapy services, (3) architectural fees for the high school’s long delayed capital improvements program and (4) an unqualified audit of cafeteria and activity funds. The board projected that (Continued on Page 4) Tax Rate Cut 30 Cents After Executive Session By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Itappahannock New* Staff Writer Without a single word of explanation or debate, the Rappahannock supervisors voted unanimously at Monday’s special budget meeting to set a tax rate of $5.30 per $100 of assessed value on real estate for 198182. The vote lopped 40 cents off the levy advertised for public hearing one week ago. At that hearing, no action was taken on proposed expenditures nor was there any discussion of possible cuts. Monday’s vote came after a long executive session in which budget reductions and additions were agreed upon by the supervisors. Chairman E. P. Luke justified the private meeting on the grounds that several adjustments related to personnel and therefore qualified as executive session material under Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act. Judging from Luke’s later report, however, many of the items acted upon had nothing to do with personnel or any other category listed in the Freedom of Information Act as legal for discussion in private, away from public scrutiny. According to Luke, reductions came in the following places: —$2,000 from salary for the chairman of the board of supervisors, leaving pay for that position at $1,000 with the vice-chairman receiving $800 and the rest of the , board members $500 each. (The chairman’s salary was to be increased as a result of Luke’s agreement to staff an office in the court house on a part-.ime basis. With his decision to resign announced last week, this arrangement has been cancelled. As with Monday’s budget cuts, there was never any public discussion of Luke’s proposal to serve as de facto county administrator.) —$8,560 from fire and rescue dispatch service (initially included in the budget in response to the announcement from Culpeper fire and rescue that the free dispatch service provided the county would be discontinued in July). —$5,000 from animal control. (Added to the budget to meet requirements on killing stray dogs. State law provides for two methods of euthanasia: injection with sodium phenobarbital or gassing in a chamber with five percent carbon monoxide cylinder. Currently, Rappahannock’s stray dogs are shot.) —$5,000 from improvements to landfill sites, included to provide for disposal of the bodies of stray dogs. —$41,000 from alterations of buildings. The cuts reported by Luke total $56,560. In addition, he noted that several items were added to the 1981-82 budget, including $5,000 to the salary of clerk for the board of supervisors, $2,500 for a county-owned police car for sheriff W. A. Buntin, and $8,000 to public works, amounting to a total of $15,500. With ten cents on the tax rate generating $12,500 in revenue, Luke figured that the budget adjustments brought the levy required to support expenditures for 1981-82 down to $5.30. While the decision to set the tax rate at $5.30 for real estate was unanimous, the supervisors split 3-1 on a related vote to approve appropriations for 1981-82. H. B. Wood was the single dissenter, his opposition directed at inclusion of the sheriffs car, according to Luke. (Supervisor Clarence Baldwin did not attend Monday’s meeting.) In other related action, the board voted unanimously to appropriate funds as agreed for dispatch service. Luke later explained that the cut of S8.560 from the budget for dispatch of fire and rescue did not mean that the county will not provide financial support for this service. When an agreement is worked out with Culpeper on how to find a shared dispatch service for the two counties, Rappahannock’s share will (Continued on Page 2) Amissville Fire Engine Overturns Returning From False Alarm Returning from what turned out to be a false alarm during the early morning electrical and rain storm Wednesday, one of Amissville Fire Department’s trucks over turned, slightly injuring several of the accompanying personnel. According to Trooper W. L. Lyle, Jr., the crash occurred about 3:30 on Route 621 at Meades Comer near Jeffersonton. The 1967 Ford fire engine was operated by Jack Atkins, 33, the officer said. Lyle said his investigation is continuing, but there seemed to be a combination of factors contributing to the crash; the slippery road, the hard rain, the sharp curv and possible mechanical failure. The truck was declared a total loss. Others on the truck were Sheila Scott, 17; Bobby Carter, 47; Scott Chamberlain 17; and Robert Croston 18; and Andrian Butler, 17, who were treated at Fauquier Hospital and released and Paul Poling, 58, who was hospitalized over night and released Wednesday morning. Adrian Butler 17 and J. B. Carter, 17, were not injured. Culpeper and Brandy Station fire units were also dispatched to the supposed fire, apparently reported after someone saw a ‘‘big orange ball of fire” and thought lightning had struck nearby. Paul Poling said it was fortunate they were returning from the fire call and traveling slowly. On June 1 Arlene Roemer of Washington, struck a deer on the Washington bypass with her 1980 Ford station wagon, according to Trooper R. A. Baines. Only the deer was injured. John Singleton of Castleton driving a 1980 Dodge ran off the right of Route 729 to avoid another vehicle on June 7. The same day, Robert Champ of Amissville in a Buick struck a bridge abutment on Route 522 north of Flint Hill. The car was totaled and Champ sustained minor injuries, according to Baines. Tuesday on Route 522, Mary Brooke Massie of Washington was cited for improper passing when she collided with a farm vehicle which was turning into Aubrey North’s mill. The Massie vehicle, a ’72 Chevrolet, was totalled and the truck received minor damage, said Trooper Baines. Operator of the truck, a ’64 Chevrolet, was Ronald Eugene Walter of Linden. Wednesday morning on Route 522 in Flint Hill, Joseph W. Peregory of Front Royal operating a ’74 Caprice apparently fell asleep and ran through a fence on the property of Peggy Clark, according to Trooper Baines. Damage to the car was estimated at $300 and the driver was charged with reckless driving. - The Barber Is A Lady — The new barber at John Eubank’s Sperryville barbershop is a lady. Tammy Jenkins cuts and trims with a smile, her friendly manner and fresh blond good looks a definite asset to the business. Tammy, a 1981 graduate of Rappahannock County High School, completed Piedmont Vociational Center's three-year program in cosmotology. “Every since I was little, I’ve lov**d working with hair,” she s? d, adding that her family encouraged her to enroll when they heard about Piedmont. Before beginning her fulltime job with Eubank this week, she spent six months at Darlene Moore’s Beauty Box in Washington. “I like working on men and women's hair about the same,” Tammy said, agreeing that women are generally a little pickier as customers. “But it really depends on the person,” she added. At Piedmont, Tammy took “everything from business management to bones in the body.” After some time with Eubank "to get the hang of it a little better,” she plans to work for a shop in Culpeper that specializes in unisex haircuts. Tammy has given John Eubank his first opportunity to judge the skills Piedmont teaches prospective cosmotologists. “They’ve done a fine job with Tammy,” he said. Working for Eubank will give her experience using clippers, “old time barbering,” as he described it. “I’m very impressed with the way she cuts hair. She does as good a job as anybody I’ve seen in a long time,” he concluded. v — Rappahannock News Photo/Daphne Hutchinson HAIRCUTS are never too much fun for kids, no matter who’s doing the cutting but Kenny Jenkins sat still long enough for a trim from John Eubank’s new assistant, Tammy Jenkins. _J

Rabies Outbreak An outbreak of rabies in animals in an area of seven mile radius west of Warrenton indicates that rabies is prevalent in the animal population east of the Blue Ridge Mountains, according to the Fauquier County Health Department. Rabies is almost always a fatal infection in both animals and humans. Since the incubation period may be several months long, cats exposed to the infection during the month of May could come down with the disease in the fall or early winter months when cats are more frequently indoors. Animal wardens in Fauquier and Rappahannock are on an alert to watch for any reports of unexplained deaths in domestic animals in the area. A rabid fox fought with a dog in the eastern section of Rappahannock County. In this case the exposed dog was protected by previous rabies immunization, but had to be quarantined for a 3 month period. No human exposure occurred in this incidence. Rabies immunization clinics conducted by Warrenton veterinarians are scheduled to take place during the evening hours of June 18th for cats and June 19th for dogs. Further announcements will be made concerning these clinics. fiappapannoch Sfruia Rappahannock & Adjoining Counties per year $7 00 Elsewhere in the U S per year $8 50 Outside the U S. per year $7.00 plus postage SUBSCRIPTION RATES BY MAIL ALL PAYABLE IN ADVANCE ( (New ( (Renewal ( (Check Enclosed NAME_ ADDRESS_ CITY _1_ STATE__ ZIP__ tnteied as second class mail at the Post Office in Warrenton Va The Rappahannock News is published every Thursdav at 39 Culpeper Street.

Responding to Lane’s statement about accounting for every pencil, if the school board loosens some of the proposed controls, “at what point does it become an unqualified audit?” Miller inquired. Eastham asked if Miller would accept a legal opinion from school board attorney Phillip Stone in place of a ruling from the attorney general. “No,” said Miller, Tm not going to delay my vote on this to wait for the attorney general’s opinion but I’ve thought for a long time that we needed one (on what type of audit is required to fulfill the school board’s obligations regarding the cafeteria and activity funds),” he added. Eastham reported that, according to county accountant Wally Cox, the audit decision is entirely up to the school board, that if the board chooses, it doesn’t have to have internal ac Tax Rate Cut To $5.30 (Continued from Page 1) be appropriated from surplus funds, he said. At the conclusion of Monday’s meeting, supervisor J. R. Latham made a final remark on school expenditures, directed at the school board’s interpretation of the supervisors’ budget cuts as a signal to stop progress on capital outlay plans for the high school. "I don’t see any reason to forget, about capital outlay because of the cut in the budget for this year’s school operations,” he stated. In addition, said Latham, “this internal bickering on the school board is certainly not going to help their credibility. A minority opinion is okay but they should keep it at that and ultimately go along with the majority.” Along with the $5.30 rate on real estate, the supervisors set the levy on personal property at $1.40 per $100 of assessed value. This year, personal property taxes will be applied on licensed vehicles only as a result of the supervisors’ decision to drop farm machinery, livestock, household goods and merchants capital from the tax roles. That earlier action required the rate to go up 85 cents over last year’s $4.40 in order to replace lost revenue. So in actuality, this year’s r levy of S5.30 represents only a five cent increase. The rest of the hike—85 cents—is a tax shift, the direct result of dropping the levy on farm machinery, livestock, household goods and merchants capital. The S5.30 rate for 1981-82 will be applied on the county’s old discounted assessments. (Under the same , assessments, last year’s $4.40 •rr rate worked out to a true effective tax of 26 cents per $100 of fair market value, according to the state department of taxation.) Rappahannock’s recently completed 100 percent fair market value assessments will be implemented in the 198283 tax year.

He maintained, however, that there is an “overwhelming necessity” for an unqualified audit and that procedures for one should be instituted by “whatever it takes” with the understanding that the accounting system should be designed yo that duties take teachers “away from instructional duties to the least extent possible.” Lane restated his support for an unqualified audit, maintaining one is necessary in order for the board to fulfill its obligation to the public. “I don’t want to nitpick. I just want to conform to good business ethics,” he said. Eastham recalled that the board’s intention to have an unqualified audit had been emphasized to the accounting nrm mat cnecks the activity and cafeteria funds. "That’s the least I will settle for,” Eastham stated. Coat Efficient? "I see nothing wrong with dual controls up to a point,” said Nancy Reeve. “But some of the things called for (in the accountant’s proposal) seem to be rather expensive. I don’t know if it will be cost efficient in the long run.” The board members agreed to discuss the auditing proposals further at their June 16 meeting with representatives from the Culpeper accounting firm. Also tabled for next week’s meeting was action on funds left over in the budget for the 1980-81 fiscal year which ends June 30. Superintendent William Bloomer listed possible expenditures as: —$2,781 for a new computer and printer to replace the high school’s current model which broke down due to an electrical malfunction, —$1,200 for painting seven rooms at the elementary school, —$900 for a new typewriter for the central office’s bookkeeper, —$825 for a scrubberbuffer for the high school and $822 for a wet-dry vacuum cleaner for the elementary school. Reeve proposed that the board also consider buying another desk for the office practice class to enable next year’s seniors to complete vocational programs and a console for the French language classes.

Bloomer told the board that he will have close to exact figures on the amount left in the current budget after payrolls and warrants are approved at the June 16 meeting. He noted, however, that there will at least be money enough to pay for the items he suggested which come to a total of $6,528. Chairman Beverly Massie reminded the board members that they had agreed to return any unspent funds appropriated for gasoline to the supervisors, minus the cost of safety equipment for the high school shop- class.

And now that more than half of the families own their own homes, many see the wisdom of extending their holdings and realizing a good return from property they own and rent to others. The value of property keeps pace with the economy, and for many years the trend has been up . . . up. . . up. Historically, real estate values have always increased faster than the cost of living during inflation and decreased slower in recessions. It’s an ideal inflation hedge. Judicious investment in income property offers safety, stability, and opportunity for income, profit and tax savings. But buying income property on your own is risky. It pays to ask your REALTOR about property as an investment. You incur no obligation. . . but you will gain information of practical value to you and your family.

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation S THURSDAY, JUNE 11,1981 Irresponsible Charges Before Robert Eastham started making the rounds of the county with his charges of sloppy handling and total lack of accountability in the school lunch program, he should have taken a few minutes to check at the school board’s central office in Sperryville. He would have found a filing cabinet full of folder after folder of detailed reports on cafeteria operations. Total costs of meat, poultry, fresh fruits, vegetables, bread and other food items are figured on a daily basis. Separate worksheets give total costs of purchased and USD A donated foods per month for each shcool. The files contain daily records of income and expenditures broken down into pupil lunches served with milk, pupil lunches served without milk, teacher lunches, ala carte milk sales, free lunches, reduced price lunches and full price lunches. Cafeteria coordinator Mabel Burke fills out meal planning and costing work sheets. Other sheets show each cafeteria recipe costed out per portion. Every month, the coordinator does a complete inventory of food and supplies, down to the last can of small red beans. A cafeteria report is sent to Richmond each month, reflecting all this information. A copy of the report goes to Mary Hutton, the state superintendent for cafeteria programs. Hutton herself checks the files in the school board office on a regular basis. Finally, the cafeteria records are audited each year as they have been since the inception of the school lunch program. “There’s never been any problem,” according to school board bookkeeper Frances Carney. Granted, the audit is a qualified audit. But there’s nothing inherently wrong with a qualified audit. It’s the same type of financial check used by the surrounding school districts for their activity and cafeteria funds. In fact, we know of no school division in the state that has anything else but a qualified audit of cafeteria and activity funds. The difference between the two types of audits can best be explained by using test grades as a comparison. With the teacher sitting in the front of the room during an exam, generally keeping an eye on the class to ensure that no one cheats, the student who answers every question correctly would be awarded a qualified 100 percent. The teacher in this case can’t be absolutely certain that the student didn’t have an answer slipped up a shirt sleeve or written on the back of the hand or that he didn’t sneak a quick peek at his neighbor’s answers. An unqualified 100 percent for answering every answer correctly would be given only if the teacher and the student were alone in the class, if the teacher checked the student carefully to make sure nothing was written on his hands or stuffed up his sleeve, if the teacher watched the student every minute during the test to ensure he didn’t manage to cheat in any other way. it isn t feasible lor teacners to give unqualified grades and we don’t think it's feasible for Rappahannock schools to have an unqualified audit of activity and cafeteria funds. « We’re not against adding dual controls wherever practical. If it can be arranged to have two people conduct the monthly cafeteria inventory, that’s fine. But to insist that an unqualified audit is the least he will settle for, as Robert Eastham did at this week’s school board meeting, is ridiculous. We don’t care if it only costs $1,250. We don’t want to see a penny more than is necessary spent on auditing procedures as long as there's a limit on the number of students allowed to take ninth grade math, office practice, typing, eighth grade history or art. Eastham’s charges are irresponsible. There is accountability of cafeteria funds and there are detailed records kept. Next . time, we hope he investigates first. And if it’s not too much too ask, we also hope that Mr. Eastham will get his priorities straight. With school funds so drastically limited, we’d rather see him fighting for quality education rather than quality accounting. Rappahannock New* Photo/Daphne Hutchinson SMILING GRADUATES Dora Lee Chadwell (left) and Donna Williams were awarded scholarships from Lord Fairfax Community College at the graduation exercises held last Friday at Rappahannock County High School. Rappahannock New* Photo/S. Latham Our Rappahannock Heritage Audit Request— (Continued from Page 1) $2,075 could be recovered from teachers salaries, due to replacement of higher paid, experienced teachers with inexperienced teachers who fall at the bottom of the pay scale. $30,000 From Error According to superintendent William Bloomer, approximately $30,000 of the cut will come from adjustments to fixed charges: the employer’s share of social security, life insurance, retirement and hospitalization. These charges were entered twice for Title I employees who are included in the regular budget for the first time, Bloomer explained. (Previously, federally funded Title I programs for educationally disadvantaged youngsters were covered in a separate budget.) In addition, benefits and fixed charges for workers in the self-supporting cafeteria program were included in the budget, instead of being reported separately as has been the practice in previous years. Correction of the double count for Title 1 employees and removal of cafeteria ' workers amounted to $29,427, bringing the„ total reduction to the $89,100 required to meet the supervisors’ directive, according to Bloomer. Executive Session For Budget? The supervisors postponed the discussion with Eastham and Lane until after an executive session for “personnel and contracts” that lasted until afternoon. Before their retirement to closed meeting and after the arrival of superintendent Bloomer and assistant superintendent Rob McDaniel, Lane told the supervisors he wanted to change his request and now preferred discussing his budget concerns in open meeting. Immediately following their return to open session and with no discussion, the supervisors voted to approve the proposed county budget with a tax rate of $5.30 on real estate, 40 cents below the advertised levy. (See separate story). "You just adopted a tax rate and a budget?” Eastham inquired. “Right,” answered Luke. Rippahinmxi New* Photo/Daphne Hntcihiiao* ON TO COLLEGE—Scholarship awards presented at Rappahannock County High School’s graduation exercises last Friday will help these young women pursue their educational careers. Paula Butler received scholarships presented by the Rappahannock County Garden Club and the Amissville Ruritans; Judith Lynn Bloomer won the Rappahannock Lions Club Scholarship and the Garden Club’s Valedictorian Award; Janet Alther received the Rappahannock County Women's Club scholarship and Desiree Poehler was awarded scholarships by the high school faculty and the Rappahannock County Extension Homemakers (left to right). “Before hearing these two men?” the Wakefield representative added. “Right,” echoed the supervisor chairman. “You just made part of what we’re saying academic—which was probably the intention—but no matter,” Eastham continued, beginning his attack on the validity of the school budget cuts. “I don’t think this is appropriate,” Luke interrupted, agreeing with Eastham that the vote to approve the budget and set a tax rate made many of his points academic. He noted that the majority of the school board members had endorsed the budget cuts Eastham was challenging. “I’ve looked at the numbers and I’m satisfied. Mr. Cox (the county’s accountant) has looked at the numbers and he’s satisfied,” the chairman said. Waiving a proposal for an unqualified audit, Lane asked the supervisors if any of them understood how the student activity fund related to the school budget. Eastham reminded Luke that when he’d voiced questions last week on the validity of the school board’s budget cuts, he’d been told by the supervisor chairman that the budget wouldn’t be acted on for a week, providing ample time for all concerns to be satisfied. The vote to adopt the budget, coming immediately after executive session with no public discussion or explanation, “cut the rug right out from under me," Eastham said, his voice rising. Day In Court Luke noted that Eastham had spent two and a half hours at his house in the last week, accompanied by supervisor H. B. Wood and former school board member A. Y. Stokes, discussing the very same concerns and charges. “You had your day in court,’’ the chairman concluded. “And you still deny to listen to the man!’’ interjected Lane. Eastham said he has been trying since May 12 to get an explanation of the $29,427 “ghost cut”, the amount recovered by adjustments to fixed charges. He questioned the validity of budget revisions made to meet the supervisors’ directive, noting that reports to the state department of education give the total school salaries as $1,416,746 while the final school budget omits cafeteria workers for a total salary of $1,372,665. As for benefits and fixed charges for Title I employees being counted twice, he said this happened “despite the fact that we have two bookkeepers in the central office” who allegedly told him they made “no error in math or arithmetic.” Eastham demanded an explanation, asking county accountant Wally Cox to show him, using the numbers and dollars and cents from the budget, how the $30,000 reduction involving cafeteria workers and Title I employees was reached. "The supervisors took one action,” Cox replied. “They requested that the school budget be cut by $89,100. Today, they appropriated $89,100 less than what was requested by the school board.” Luke added that Eastham’s problem with the difference in salary totals between what was reported to Richmond and what was included in the county budget lay with the state department of education. He pointed out that “all the numbers are plugged in right (on required reports), just like they say.” If Eastham doesn’t like the report forms, he should take up the issue with the General Assembly. “You two, in all due respect, got voted down,” he told Eastham and Lane. Eastham countered that 5130,000 for cafeteria operations was left out of the budget entirely. “That’s sloppy handling...We owe it to the county to strictly account for the money the children pay into the school fund.” Tired of Stonewalling “I regret the necessity for this candor,’’ Eastham continued, telling the supervisors that he has had “a belly full of stonewalling” on his proposal for an unqualified audit of the school’s activity and cafeteria funds. He asked the supervisors to require that all expenses and income for the cafeteria program be shown in the regular budget. Eastham also requested the board to reinstate $1,250 to the school budget to pay for an unqualified audit, accompanied by an order to the school board to commence procedures for the audit by July 1. If his requests aren’t met, Eastham said he will act to have the state auditor examine the school’s financial records “even if 1 have to walk barefoot through the executive mansion in Richmond.” Eastham said he was tired, disappointed and sad after his two years on the school board, service that he had thought would be both pleasant and fulfilling. “We fight each other,” use the children “as pawns” to serve individual interests, “we tell lies to each other,” he said of the school board. Eastham maintained that the supervisors would be willing to “walk an extra mile” for the students if they took the time to have lunch with children at the elementary school, “listen to their sunny laughter, gaze in their bright faces.” He urged the supervisors to begin a new day for the children of Rappahannock County on July 1 apparently by restoring the $1,250 to the budget for 1981-82 and ordering the school board to put in place procedures for an unqualified audit. School Board Problem “You’ve got a problem with your school board, not with this board,” Luke replied, advising Eastham that he needed approval for an unqualified audit from his fellow board members, not the supervisors. As for the cafeteria, the chairman maintained that the self-supporting lunch program was operated like a concession, according to procedures and directives established by the state department of education. “We’ve asked you to do your duty to safeguard the public funds!” Eastham argued. "You keep telling us that the governing body doesn’t give a damn about county funds!” “If you want an audit, take it up with the school board,” Luke countered.” Lane emphasized that the school board members are responsible for all money spent in support of the schools. Every time Eastham brings up a proposal for an unqualified audit of activity and cafeteria funds. Lane said, “the teachers immediately start carrying banners” in protect of the time audit procedures supposedly will take from the instructional day. He claimed that the school board “has no idea of what happens” to $250,000 that goes through the school each year. Under state regulations, Co* explained, money for the cafeteria program can be deposited with the county treasurer and set up as a separate fund or it can be treated as an internal account in which case the school board has the option to have or not have an audit. “Are you willing to put $1,250 back.in?” Eastham demanded. “We’re not willing to do anything to change this budget,” Luke replied, noting that the supervisors have had public hearings and expert testimony on proposed expenditures for 1981-82. “The budget stands pat.” H. B. Wood added that Cox had just reported that it is the school board’s responsibility “by law” to make a decision on how to audit the cafeteria and activity funds. “If you want to have a complete audit, be my guest,” Luke said. As far as changes in the way cafeteria funds are handled, “you’ll have to take that up with Richmond,” he concluded.

We hope that this will stay in the minds and the hearts of the people all the year. RON WILEY President Warning Letter Tried As Noise Control At Monday’s special meeting, the Rappahannock supervisors agreed to send a letter to the owners of the community center just outside Washington town limits, warning that if excessive noise doesn’t cease, the county will have to take some type of action. The letter comes in response to complaints from adjoining land owner Clabert Smoot. His repeated charges of late night disturbances by community center users led the supervisors to consider a “dance hall” ordinance in 1980. The proposed or dinance was tabled, noted E. P. Luke, because its countywide coverage was too broad. "There’s no problem anywhere else as far as I know,” he told Smoot on Monday. “You have a perfectly legal right to swear out a warrant on nuisance grounds,” he added. Smoot said he’d considered this route but had been told by Sheriff W. A. Buntin there was nothing that could be done about the noise under existing local laws. Buntin explained that he'd checked with both the current and former commonwealth’s attorneys and had been told that without equipment to measure decibel levels, the county’s controls on noise couldn’t be enforced. Supervisor H. B. Wood asked if the local ordinances included regulations on operating hours that applied to dances held at the community center. Several years ago, time limits were set at 2 a.m. for the Flatwood and Pine Knot Inns, Buntin replied. “But I don’t know if they were ever formally put on the books.” He noted that it's difficult to determine at what point an activity becomes a nuisance. Buntin told the supervisors that he has been at the Smoot’s residence on several occasions in response to calls and after listening for as long as a half hour at a time, had never found the noise from the community center “loud enough to be offensive.” In addition, he said he’d checked with other adjoining property owners Junior Hawkins and Ashby Way land and received no complaints. According to Smoot, former commonwealth’s attorney George Davis and state trooper Chuck Moore both listened and found the noise excessive at 1 a.m. Measuring noise is a complicated business, Luke countered. He said that normal levels of background noise drop substantially during the night, marking other noises much more noticeable. In addition, he said, buffers such as trees and shrubs will reconsider a "dance hall” ordinance. Luke reported that the county has also received a warning letter of sorts, correspondence from the state fire marshal inquiring when the fire escape for the second floor of the court house will be erected. Lack of a fire escape was cited as a violation of the state fire code three years ago. “We’ve got the fire escape lying out here in the grass,” Luke said, adding that the supervisors will have to go out of the county to find a welder who can put up the metal structure escape. Clerk Diane Bruce was authorized to contact several area welders for bids on the project.
