Saaff * ritrr According to aft opinion from Virginia attorney general Marshall Coleman, the residential subdivision district of Rappahannock’s zoning ordinance is invalid under provisions of state law. “The RS-1 district provided for in Article 6 of the Rappahannock County ordinance may serve some valid zoning purpose, but I do not see what that purpose may be. Absent some valid zoning purpose, ‘ the kS-1 district serves only as a device for conferring legislative discretion on the county governing body where no such discretion is authorized by statute.” Coleman maintained in a written opinion to commonwealth's attorney Douglas Baumgardner dated June 4. 1981. Baumgardner cited the attorney general's opinion in a December 3 memorandum to local government officials. The memorandum dealt with a question from the county's board of zoning appeals as to whether a variance should be granted to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Neal of Castleton. The Neals applied in September for a variance to subdivide a 37-acre parcel zoned residential subdivision into one seven-acre and one 30-acre lot. The county ordinance prohibits division of any lot zoned residential subdivision (RS-1), thus the need for a variance. Following a public hearing on the Neals' request, the BZA tabled their application, pending legal advice, In a letter to zoning administrator Evan McNear and all members of the board of supervisors, planning commission and board of zoning appeals. Baumgardner noted that the evidence presented at the public hearing on the Neals’ variance request does not appear to justify a zoning variance. Generally Shared "AH land zoned RS-1, including that of Mr. and Mrs. Neal, cannot, as our ordinance is currently drafted, be divided. Therefore, the hardship suffered by Mr. and Mrs. Neal (an inquiry in this regard should focus on the property and not on the personal characteristics of the applicant) is ‘shared generally by other properties in the same zoning district (Continued on Page 8) For Sperryville Sewer Library Party Rappahannock youngsters, ages two through seven, are invited to the Rappahannock County Library’s annual Christmas party to be held’ Thursday, December 17, at 3:30 p.m. in the library.

The dogs must have been in there all night long," county dog warden Jack Bruce told the Rappahannock supervisors at Monday's meeting, describing the slaughter of Netus Dodson’s sheep. Dodson reported that he shot two dogs last month after he’d seen them comer and attack one of his sheep when he was preparing to feed the flock. He found 18 or 19 dead sheep the first night and two or three more the following day. The sheep were scattered all through his orchard, fields and pasture, Dodson said. "There are still some missing that we never did find,” he added. According to Dodson, the two dogs—one a large sized mixed breed and the other a medium sized black mongrel—had “ripped the sheep all to pieces...They killed more fat lambs than anything else. The lambs were so fat they couldn’t get away.” Dodson told the supervisors that the owner of the large dog claimed the animal but maintained his dog wasn’t involved in the killing. Dodson noted that he’d seen only the smaller black dog actually attack a sheep. He recalled that he'd loaded the black dog down with shot a year ago when he'd caught it chasing calves. ”1 didn’t think she’d come back. I should have killed her then.” Dodson said he’d taken the dead dog to the house where the dog reportedly belonged but the residents wouldn’t acknowledge ownership. Discontinued Earlier? When the supervisors voted last year to remove personal property taxes on livestock, they also agreed to discontinue paying livestock claims resulting from kills by stray dogs. Since then, warden Bruce noted, he’s had no obligation to investigate suspected dog kills. He added that he’d visited the Dodson farm and checked both the dead sheep and the two dead dogs after being requested to do so by the owner of the larger dog. The dog was both vaccinated and tagged, Bruce said, and the owner is willing to pay his part of the damages. As for the smaller black dog, Bruce said a neighbor who doesn’t want to be involved has agreed to testify in court that the animal has been “in the area mostly around the house where Dodson went.” The warden added that the residents of that house had initially claimed the dog until they were told that it had been shot. “There’s no question in anybody’s mind that the sheep were killed by dogs,” remarked supervisor H. B. Wood. "The question is how Mr. Dodson is going to get paid for his sheep.” ‘ •=■•»** >>'•’ , *'Vi i* , Block Grant Endorsed By Board “A block grant is the only way that a sewer system is going to be realized." remarked supervisor Charles Estes as the Rappahannock board agreed Monday to support an application for community development block grant funds to build Sperryville's long delayed sewer project. Bob Dennis, secretarytreasurer of the county’s Water and Sewer Authority, reported that Sperryville is slated to get SI.4 million in Environmental Protection Agency funds channeled through the State Water Control Board in fiscal year 1983. Total cost for the STEP (septic tank effluent pumping) system, collection lines and package treatment plant proposed for the village is SI.8 million. Dennis said. That leaves $400,000 for the local share, money which if borrowed from Farmers Home Administration at the current 12 percent interest rate will drive monthly user fees well beyond the maximum S20 per month that Sperryville’s residents can afford. In addition. Dennis acknowledged, the $1.4 million from EPA is the most the county can hope for through the SWCB’s construction grants program. That figure is based on 85 percent funding for the “innovative and alternative" STEP collection system and 75 percent funding for the conventional package treatment plant to be built on land the WSA already owns. But federal participation could drop to a low of 55 percent, depending on action by Congress, he warned. Dennis also noted that if Congress fails to appropriate any EPA funds in the current year, SperryvUle's sewer could be pushed back to FY 1984. Hearing Slated Even with all the unan swered questions on funding, the WSA is planning to go ahead with the required local public hearing on the project early in 1982. While the EPA funds may turn out to be less than the SI.4 million projected by the SWCB, Sperryville is almost sure to receive some money since the community retains its ranking as the state's number five health hazard based on “a known and measurable water supply problem” from wells contaminated by raw sewage, according to Dennis. Under the new community block grant program, it appears that Sperryville’s sewer project will be eligible for as much as $750,000. “Yoji can use the block grant money to fit in with the EPA money and reduce user costs substantially,” reported John Capelle, executive director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission and a member of a —RappakaaiBock Nsws PHoto/S. Latham FESTIVE DECORATIONS FOR CHRISTMAS have been made and hm« by students in the first grade at Rappahannock County Elementary School under the direction of Nancy Davis. committee appointed by the Governor to develop guidelines for handling block grant funds. Nothing that the county must apply for the grant on behalf of the Water and Sewer Authority, Capelle emphasized that the program involves outright grants and not loans. A block grant can be used to make up the local share required for the EPA grant. Dennis said. “Theoretically, if we’re really lucky we could get 100 percent of the local share paid for,” he added, •'acknowledging that with government regulations, it is not likely this will happen, however. At the current level of federal participation and with the $1.4 million projected from EPA, monthly user fees for the proposed Sperryville system will run $35.08 per month; $264,675 from the block grant program will bring monthly bills down to $20. “We really need to get outside help from somewhere... (The block grant) money came out of our pockets in the first place,” Dennis noted. No Palatable Options If the county isn’t awarded block grant funds for the Sperryville project, there are a couple of other options, none very palatable, according to Dennis. The Water and Sewer Authority has several methods it can use to raise funds, apparently special taxes or bond sales, on which the WSA secretary-treasurer did not elaborate. The county also can subsidize directly the village’s sewer system by contributing general ftind rewnue. “Or we could not do anything. We don't know what the results of that would be,” Dennis said. "State and federal laws say that we must clean up the water,” he said. (Continued on Page 4) Bruce repeated that the owner of the big dog was willing to pay his part, adding that he hadn't yet contacted the alleged owners of the other dog. “Was he aware that his part will probably be in excess of $700?'' asked supervisors Charles Estes, referring to average market prices quoted on the 22 dead sheep. Bruce replied that he’d never discussed cost figures with the owner of the dead dog. Supervisors Wood and J. R. Latham both suggested discussing the matter in executive session with commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner. Upon return to open meeting two hours and ten minutes later, the board voted unanimously to pay the $1,400 claim for the sheep. The supervisors took a second unanimous vote to advertise an ordinance amendment that would discontinue payment of claims for livestock killed by stray dogs. Public hearing on the regulation change is set for Wednesday, January 6. Wood explained that the decision made last year by the supervisors to stop paying dog claims was not valid since it was not advertised or considered at a public hearing. Zoning Administrator During the executive session, the supervisors interviewed four candidates for the combined position of zoning administrator and building official. They announced that a decision on filling the twoday-per-week. $6,000 salary job will be made at a special meeting scheduled for Monday, December 14. at 7 p.m. in the court house. Also in executive session, the board heard a report from commonwealth's attorney Baumgardner on a meeting he had last Thursday with attorneys representing the Massanova Pentacostal Church but no action was taken. In a legal opinion rendering in October, Baumgardner held that a special use permit was required for operation of the church affiliated school in the basement of the red brick building on Route 622. But in earlier correspondence. Rev. L. D. Savage, pastor of Massanova, maintained that his church was operating a school ministry and would not apply for a special use permit. Application for the permit would constitute admission that education is not a church function but rather a separate business that the church has chosen to engage in, according to Savage. To date, the church has made no application for the permits required by the county's zoning ordinance for operation of a school on land zoned agricultural. —Rappahannock News Photo/ W.

Diana Bird, president of Sursum Corda's board of directors, requested the county contribute $300 per month for the remainder of this fiscal year and to enter the same amount in the county budget for 1982-83. The day care center which is open weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. currently has 38 children in its infanttoddler and nursery school programs. According to Bird, its operation has been severely hampered by federal budget cuts to (1) CETA which paid salaries of staff members through job training, work experience and after-school employment for high school students programs (2) Title XX which paid child care expenses for mothers on welfare who had gone back to work (3) USDA’s Child Care Food Program which reimbursed Sursum Corda for costs of nutritional lunches, between meal snacks and breakfasts. The $54,000 lost to federal budget cuts amounts to over half of the school's $93,500 budget for last year, Bird pointed out. In anticipation of the crippling cuts, Sursum Corda began early efforts to reduce the shock by soliciting volunteer help and donations from county residents and landowners, reducing staff, increasing enrollment, reducing food costs through donations of fruit and vegetables, increasing after hours use of the school for extra-curricular activities which brought in extra income, sought donated services for repairs and materials such as firewood and increasing service charges to parents as of January 1. But despite these measures. “We have come nearly to the end of what can be done and we need your help,’’ Bird told the supervisors. Need For Services She maintained that Sursum Corda has demonstrated a need for its services. "There is no other facility to take our school’s place if we should have to close,’’ she emphasized. Bird also noted that the school has broad community support as evidenced by the more than 100 residents and land-owners who have contributed a total of $5,000 to the school in the past year; by the eight individuals who donate $387 per month in scholarship funds and by the 11 persons who donate time equal to $690 in payroll expenses each month. She pointed out that the county had first questioned but then accepted the need for kindergarten, special education and county support for library services. “We believe it is time for our citizens to recognize that there is some public responsibility for infant day care and nursery school programs." Bird asked the supervisors to visit Sursum Corda. "When you do that, 1 believe you will agree that we warrant county support,” she concluded, presenting the supervisors detailed statements of the school’s assets, liabilities, income and (Continued on Page 10)

Fire Science Students Go Through Trial By Fire AtAmissville Training School B> THERESA RE^ ISOLDS Rappahannock >«•*% Staff ^ ritcr There was a time, not even a century ago. when the fire bell would ring and a horsedrawn water cart would respond. j* If it took too long to find a horse in town, men would drag the cart, joining the line of men forming between the burning house and the nearest pond, creek or well to pass along pails of water in the old-fashioned “bucket brigade." The portable pump was a big breakthrough in fire fighting. So were lightweight, durable ladders and hoses. Even more important, research into the nature and causes of fires has lifted fire fighting out of the realm of blind defense into a science taking years to master. Paul Poling. Amissville Fire Chief, is an instructor in Fauquier High School’s Fire Science Program, a year-long curriculum requiring two hours a day of specific study. Poling's classes are composed of juniors and seniors with one postgraduate student. “These kids either want to become paid fire fighters after graduation or go on for a degree.” he told me. A degree in fire fighting? “Yes. there are several," Poling went on. “Local students can wofk for either an associate degree or a fouryear degree in Fire Prevention or Fire Engineering." In school each day Poling teaches subjects that demonstrate how sophisticated and complicated this field has become: Fire Behavior. Extinguishers, Ropes and Knots. Ladders, Fire Hoses, Fire Streams, Forcible Entry, Small Tools, Search and Rescue, Ventilation, Protective Breathing Apparatus. Salvage and Overhaul. Fire Prevention, Ground Cover Fire, Communications. Water Supplies and Sprinkler Systems. The theory surrounding these subjects can be learned from a textbook.

Built in 1%5, the Amissville facility serves as a region-wide fire school once a year as well as a learning site for the high school fire science students. Its purpose is to imitate real-life fire and rescue emergencies. The students rescue each other from a' burning building, learn how to transport and handle the heavy fire hoses, give first aid and use their protective breathing equipment. This training is rigorous and serious: smoke inhalation is just as dangerous from a staged fire as from a careless one. Poling said that the instructors try to use different types of fires so that the students will be familiar with different situations. Last week’s “burning building” was set with wood. “Sometimes we use tires, too,” Poling said. “We want to create a lot of thick black smoke."

To Smoke a Ham After hams have completed time in salt cure and have been washed and allowed to dry, they should be hung from two to four days in a thin gauze of smoke at 90 degrees. Put your hand in the smoke; it should feel just warm. When a rich brown glaze covers the meat, hams may be taken from the smoker, hung to cool for several days and wrapped in two layers of paper, a cloth sack, and lastly, secured in brown paper bags. Age as desired. For most recipes, Mrs. Firth suggests menus that would be a handy guide to meal planning such as this one for Sweet Potato Biscuits: Serve with chicken in wine sauce, asparagus tip salad, rice, buttered corn and chocolate cupcakes.

OFFICE: Rappahannock News Bldg. Washington, Va 22747 HOURS: 8 30 a m to 5:30 pm. Mon.-Fri Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc Member. Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10,1981 All The News We’ve received a number of complaints lately from people calling, visiting the office and writing letters to the editor. Our critics are disturbed by the type of news we print in the paper. They’re distressed by reports of court proceedings, board of roning appeals sessions, even by feature stories. In the face of this barrage of complaints, we’ve decided it’s time to outline what we see as the purpose of a good county newspaper. That is to report county news as fairly and completely as possible. Not just the pleasant news but all the important news. Not just the news that’s flattering, that places someone in a good light but all the news that’s pertinent. We don’t pick and choose which court cases to include in the list of decisions from Judge John Alexander’s General District Court. We print all the cases. Our only regret is that staff limitations prevent us from having a reporter present to cover General District Court in more depth. We try our best to monitor Circuit Court and generally, we manage to have a reporter at the court house when Judge Shore Robertson takes his seat on the bench. Again, if we miss an occasional hearing it’s because we didn’t have a person free to go. We feel an obligation to report on the grindings of the wheels of justice. We believe that publicity on the punishment meted out to lawbreakers will serve as a deterent to others who might otherwise commit the same crime. Our purpose has never been to publicly humiliate or embarass anyone. Our coverage of the county school board, planning commission, board of zoning appeals, board of supervisors, welfare board, water and sewer authority and other local government units is aimed at informing the public. Without an educated populace, democracy doesn’t work. Government is supposed to function in the spotlight of public scrutiny. A watchful eye help9 keep government honest. We try to provide that eye. Again, our aim is never to humiliate or embarass. If that was our goal, we’d have a field day with the little side remarks and wisecracks that relaxed government officials toss around a meeting table from time to time. We’d print the slips made every now and then when a school board member or water and sewer authority representative brings up a subject properly discussed in executive session. In feature material, we try to pick topics and people that will interest all the residents of the county and then we try to develop stories from all over Rappahannock — not just Washington or Sperryville but Castleton, Slate Mills, Chester Gap and Woodville as well. In public service and community announcements, we attempt to give publicity to all organizations, groups and events. If a fire department is holding a fund raiser, we try to spread the word. If the Cancer Society falls short of its fair share goal in the annual crusade, we try to persuade people to give just a little bit more. If a church is having a special Christmas program, we try to tell our readers where, what and when. It’s true that our front page isn’t always filled with good news. While we do have stories about choral groups, secrets of gardening and canning, funds for Rappahannock’s first county park, resumption of a much needed dental program and the newest member of the county's police force, we also carry front page i stories about wrecks, robberies, probation revocation, welfare fraud, murder and illegal or improper actions by local government. Maybe our critics are right. Maybe this county would be a better place if we only printed good news in the paper. But we have one question for our good news pushers. How can we ever work to change the bad that exists in Rappahannock County if we don’t know it’s there? This Was The News In Bygone Rappahannock Times... RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS 10YEARS AGO ON THE FRONT PAGE of the Thursday, December 9 Rappahannock News, the lead story was the highway engineer’s warning to the County Board of Supervisors of the County’s need to strengthen its subdivision ordinances. The engineer, James K. Skeens, presented the operational and fiscal summary to the supervisors who at that time were Newbill Miller, Herbert Foster, L.H. Luttrell, Norman Wilbur and Betty Coates. The 1970-71 budget presented by Skeens was exceeded by expenses by about six thousand dollars. The budget of SI 16,000 was exceeded due to approaches to the new bridge on Route 620. Mr. Skeens said that with luck and a 2-cent additional gas tax the arterial highway system would be finished by 1982. Skeens’ warning to the supervisors on the subdivision ordinance focused primarily on the sections pertaining to streets. Deborah Lynn Barron was chosen as the DAR Good Citizen of Rappahannock County High School for 1972. Miss Barron was a senior at the High School and won the award for her participation in school and community activities. December 4,1971 was the date of the marriage of Vicky Jo Calhoun of Riverton to William Guerrant Eastham of Amissville. The bride wore an emerald velvet dress and carried gardenias. RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS 20 YEARS AGO THERE WAS a column written in the December 14, 1961 edition of the News which was a combination of local gossip and commentary. One of the items concerned a new dance gaining popularity locally. “I understand that a couple of the teachers at RCHS are competing with students learning the latest dance, the Twist. How are you making out Mrs. Burford and Mrs, Palmer? Perhaps I can give you a tip. A local lawyer was explaining in the restaurant one day that you can perfect it by taking a bath towel by each end and pretend you’re drying your back.” Easton’s Elite Men’s Shop in Warren ton offered December specials for those interested in buying a complete wardrobe at a reduced price. The items in the special deal were Suit, $55.00; Topcoat, $49.50; Shirt $5.00; Tie $2.50; Hat $8.95. All of the items could be purchased as a special deal for $100.00. Gifts Needed For Foster Children Rappahannock’s welfare department is looking for Christmas spirited county residents willing to make the holidays a little brighter for the county’s 11 foster children. Each year, the welfare department seeks cash donations to give foster parents to use for Christmas presents for their charges. In every case but one. the children in foster care here have no other family, no aunts, uncles or grandparents who will leave a few little gifts for them under the Christmas tree. Donations for Christmas presents for the children. ages ten through 17, in fostei care are tax deductible Checks should be made ou< to the Rappahannock Welfare Department and either mailed to P. 0. Bo> 87, Washington, Va. 2274" or delivered to the welfare office on Main Street. The department will provide contributors with a receipt. —Rappahaamk N«w» Phoio/S.

John N. Dalton’s veto of the latest House of Delegates redistricting plan. Legislators said this week that while the 100-member House could most likely muster the two-thirds majority needed to override Dalton’s veto, it is less likely that two-thirds of the 40member Senate would support such a motion. If the Democraticcontrolled assembly decides not to risk the embarrassment of failing to override the Republican governor’s veto, it will have to make changes in the plan, or develop a new plan altogether. The legislature approved the latest plan Nov. 24, working under a Richmond federal court’s order to approve a redistricting plan by Feb. 1 that will meet population guidelines and other redistricting criteria. But the governor vetoed the plan last Monday, indicating that the plan had not adequately met compactness and community of interest criteria. He strongly suggested that he would look more favorably upon a plan calling for 100 single-member House districts. Although the House has so far rejected single-member district plans, legislators said that if the latest plan is rejected, the House may come up with a plan that would create single-member districts, many of which would split local jurisdictional boundaries. The latest plan puts Rappahannock in a singlemember district with Shenandoah and Warren counties. In a plan approved in April but declared unconstitutional by the federal court in August, Rappahannock was put in a single-member district with Garke, Page and Warren counties. Del. George P. Beard, a Republican elected this year in a district including Fauquier and Culpeper counties, said this week that he doubted the Senate would override Dalton’s veto of the latest plan, primarily because the Senate approved the plan by a narrow 19-15 margin. Because the two-member district plan keeps Culpeper and Fauquie^ intact, Beard said, he will support the plan and would support a motion to override the veto. Beard added that if the latest plan is defeated, new plans that may be offered would split local boundaries. He said one such plan, developed by Del. J. Samuel Glascock (D-Suffolk), would split Fauquier into two single-member districts. Del. Raymond R. "Andy” Guest, a Republican who will represent Clarke, Rappahannock, Page and Warren counties in 1982, reiterated this week that he would oppose a motion to override the veto. “I think the veto ought to be sustained,” he said. Under the latest plan. Guest would be placed in the same district with fellow Republican Del. Clinton Miller of Woodstock. For that reason, and because of population deviations in the plan and other considerations, Guest said there is “very little that is good” about the plan. Senate Minority Leader William A. Truban (RWoodstock) said this week that jthe Senate will probably sustain Dalton’s veto, but that “of course, you never can tell." Truban is opposed to the House plan, and will continue to oppose it despite a longstanding assembly tradition that neither the House nor the Senate tampers with each other’s redistricting plans. Despite that tradition, Truban said of the plan, “Well, if something’s wrong, it’s wrong.” Truban said he supports single-member districts in the House, since both the governor and the federal court have indicated that such a plan would be acceptable. The court ruled that although the April House plan is unconstitutional, it could be used for interim House elections this year. But the court also said that delegates would be elected this year for a one-year term, and would have to run next year in new districts that must be approved by the Feb. 1 deadline. Letters To The Editor FORE To Hold Jumble Sale < To the editor Citizens of Planning District 9, do we want our FORE workshop for the handicapped to remain open? FORE, near Remington, is suffering severe funding cuts. We no longer have the money to provide transportation for the clients, or to meet the payroll last month. The staff has been cut from 12 to six, the bare minimum to keep the shop operating, and doubling their duties. But for our dedicated and inspired director Robert Hundley and staff, we would be closed as many workshops in Virginia have been. I feel you, our "91,795 residents of PD 9, should know this now so you can have the opportunity to rally round with your money and talents if you want to keep open the workshop for our handicapped. Financial help is needed now to enable the 30 clients currently at FORE to remain self-supporting, many living independently, off welfare, in their own apartments with their own possessions and the hope of procuring jobs out in the community. The workshop has placed 20 in outside employment in the past year. What better way to celebrate Christmas than to assure our handicapped that we care enough to keep the workshop open and transportation available to and from for their present and future. As a stop-gap, a benefit jumble sale of useful things and gifts to buy is being held Thursday through Saturday, Dec. 17, 18 and 19, at the old ABC store on the corner of Culpeper arid Lee Streets. Donations of salable articles are welcome and their value is tax deductible. Help is urgently needed to set up before and during the sale. Please come and help make it festive and a great success. For information phone 347-2608 or 439-3505, in Culpeper 825-8207 and in Rappahannock 675-3880. The address is FORE Workshop, Box 528, Remington 22734. DOROTHY V. RUST FORE Board Member Warrenton Block Grant (Continued from Page 1) adding that the health department and State Water Control Board have authority to institute legal action. What would most likely happen in this instance, however, is that the health department will start refusing to allow Sperryville’s businesses to operate, according to Dennis. He maintained that an application for block grant funds which must be made between February and March, 1982, is the best way to proceed rather than trying to find some other way of raising the money. In response to a question from fellow supervisor H. B. Wood, Sperryville representative Charles Estes explained that all residences within the area served by the proposed sewer system will have to hook on even if the houses have properly functioning septic systems. Dennis emphasized, however, that the 195 dwelling units and businesses to be served by the sewer system lie primarily in the Thornton River’s flood plain. WSA chairman Carson Johnson, a resident of Sperryville as are all authority members with the exception of Dennis, added that the boundaries of the area to be served by the proposed sewer system extend 200 to 300 yards from the road or the river in most places. As the - board voted unanimously to support the future block grant application, supervisor Wood had one final word of warning: “You all ought to be very careful out there so you don’t wind up with S50 or $60 monthly bills.” How Do Courts Impact Zoning? A General Assembly subcommittee studying the impact of recent court decisions on zoning powers of local governments will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, December 16, in Fairfax. The hearing will start at 7:30 p.m. and will be held in the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Room, Massey Building, 4100 Chain Bridge Road. The study was initiated as a result of complaints voiced by local governments that Virginia courts have hampered their ability to deal effectively with growth. School Board— (Continued from Page 1) teacher Dean Hahn, effective January 1, 1982. Unemployment On the “continuing puzzle” of unemployment claims from former school employees. Estabrook reported that he’d written to Richmond requesting clarification and complete data on all claims filed by school personnel. The matter came up last month when the board of supervisors agreed that the school board should begin to reimburse the state for unemployment claims from its former employees. The supervisors postponed implementation of the change until next year, however, in order to give the school board an opportunity to include money in its budget for that purpose. The school board members in return expressed concern over their lack of information on the unemployment claims that have been reimbursed in the past by the supervisors, maintaining that some may be unwarranted. Writing to Richmond is the best place to begin to get an accurate, total picture, Estabrook maintained Tuesday. Mrs. Massie said she’d received a letter from supervisor clerk Diane Bruce in response to an account in the Rappahannock News last month that related the school board's concern over its failure to receive any data on unemployment claims filed by former employees. According to Bruce, all claims paid in the past by the supervisors were sent first to the school board office and then forwarded to the supervisors for payment. "This is the first knowledge I’ve had that any have been sent (to school board offices),’’ Mrs. Massie reported. She added tha* she’d never received am information on unemployment claims from the administration and that since reimbursement came from the supervisors, payment never showed up on school board warrants. "There was a little communication channel going along on the side that we knew nothing about," remarked board member Robert Eastham. But the channel of communication between the supervisors and the school board is now open, the chairman stressed. She noted that the school board will need to compile information on past unemployment claims in order to determine how much to include for state reimbursement in next year's budget. Estabrook added he’d met that day with Raymond R. "Andy” Guest, Rappahannock’s representative to the Virginia House of Delegates, and other superintendents from the 18th legislative district and found that other localities are having similar problems with communication on unemployment claims. Garage Payment The superintendent reported that he’d received Final payment from the Virginia Department of Highways for the school bus garage building and lot condemned for the widening of Route 211. The first check sent by the Highway Department in June was for $22,642 and the second was to be for $32,358. Instead, the final payment was $34,678.91, which included interest for the period beyond the 30 days in which the Highway Department was to pay the school board, Estabrook reported. The board agreed to send Janies W. Fletcher, the Sperryville attorney who handled the condemnation case, a letter expressing thanks and asking him to render a bill. “I’m sure he expects both parts of the letter!” joked Eastham. In other action, Mrs. Massie reported that the state fire marshal reinspected the elementary school on November 18 and found that violations cited last May had been corrected. The earlier violations involved improper storage of cleaning materials, according to the superintendent. Representing the new Student-Parent-Teacher Association, Mary Beth Martin asked for board permission to remove the bottom section of the climbing dome, a piece of playground equipment at the elementary school. Youngsters are not now allowed to play on the dome because several have fallen from its 9 foot height and been injured, she said. Unbolting the bottom section will bring the dome down to six feet, Martin said, adding that the SPTA was also seeking permission for the project from the Rappahannock’s Women’s Gub which donated the dome to the school. At some point in the future, she said, the SPTA also plans to put a soft substance underneath the dome to further protect children from injury. The board agreed to the lowering of the dome provided approval from the Women’s Club can be secured. Assistant superintendent Jerry Lysik told the board that he has secured a car to replace his school assigned vehicle that was totaled in an accident last month. The replacement is a 1977 Dodge Morocco with 83,000 miles, purchase price $1,250. The car was bought with funds from the $1,739 insurance settlement on the 1975 Hornet previously assigned to Lysik. The assistant superintendent added that his'accident has had no effect on the school’s vehicle insurance rates. +*l++ The Pacific Ocean encloses an area larger than all the land surfaces of the earth put together.

Toyland Adventure At Culpeper Jr. High Theater IV on Tour will present “Santa’s Toyland Adventure" at the Culpeper Junior High School on Saturday. December 12, at 2 p.m. The new holiday mystery is the third and final play of a Santa trilogy written by Virginia playwright Richard Giersch for the non-profit children’s theater. The first two plays of the series. “Santa’s Erichanted Workshop” and “Santa's Christmas Miracle," delighted young audiences the past two Christmases. In the third play of the trilogy, Santa works undercover as a pirate to apprehend a slippery mail thief. The action takes place in Toyland. a seaside town whose major industry is making toys. Even its citizens resemble toys. At Christmas time Toyland is the clearing house for children's letters to Santa. Star Lighting Ceremony Set The annual Star Lighting Ceremony at RandolphMacon Academy will be held Thursday. December 10, at 6 p.m. The Academy Band will perform several Christmas selections, followed by a reading of the Christmas story and the lighting of the star on the dome of Sonner Hall. The public is invited to participate with the cadets, faculty, and staff in this observance. The following Thursday, the public is invited to attend the annual Christmas concert presented by the Academy Band and the Handbell Choir. The program will begin at 8 p.m. in Melton Memorial Gymnasium. and this particular year things have gone awry. Someone has stolen the letters, and Santa himself has come to discover the culprit. He arrives on the wharf in Toyland disguised as a pirate only to have his anonymity jeopardized by a trio of meddlesome elves who have trailed him from the Nortlj Pole, hoping,to help. One elf. Barnaby. a sixfooter who has never quite fit in with the rest of the elves, ignores Santa's command to return to the Pole and joins forces with Jennifer, a little Toyland girl, to catch the hard-hearted mail burglar. In their search for the letters the two run into another pirate, who. although bungling, is indeed a “real” pirate. In fact, he offhandedly admits to perpetrating the Christmas letter caper. What follows this confession is an amusing series of events that leads to a happy Christmas conclusion. “ ‘Santa's Toyland Adventure’. conveys not only the magic and gaiety of Christmas, but also a variety of important values to its young viewers." explains artistic director Bruce Miller. "They learn that people are not always as they seem and that being different from others can often be a plus." Theater IV* on Tour is supported in part by a grant from the Virginia Commission for the Arts. Its local performance is co-sponsored by the Culpeper Chapter of the Virginia Museum and the Culpeper Optimistic Club.

The Rappahannock Historic Society building on Gay Street in Washington will be open allday, Thursday, December 17, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. People who ordered books can pick them up at this time. Anyone who wishes an autographed copy should plan to come between the hours of 1 and 3 p.m. The Johnsons will be at the building during this time and will be happy to autograph and answer questions. The Society regrets that it can not promise everyone an autographed book. Mr. Johnson is still recovering from a long hospital stay and the Society does not wish to tire him unnecessarilv. It is possible that county residents who want their copy autographed could have it done at'a later date when the initial rush is over.

For those who are weekenders in the county, the Society will be open for book pickup on Saturday, December 19, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. but there will be no autographing at that time. -Tips For Hassle-Free Holiday Chrisjtmas is upon us and the Director of Office of Consumer Affairs. Roy L. Farmer, of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) offers a few suggestions to keep the holidays hassle-free. First of all. when purchasing items for gifts, ask about the store’s policy if the gift must be returned. Some stores will not accept a returned item unless it is brought back under certain conditions and there is no law that requires a business to accept returned merchandise. It is a gpod idea to keep receipts for all items purchased so that if there is a problem and the item must be returned, there is no question about how much was paid for the item or where it was purchased. During this time of year, there are many close-out and end-of-the-year sales. These are usually final sales and merchandise can not be returned under these circumstances. Consumers are advised to be aware of this and shop wisely. Lay-away policies also differ from store to store and consumers are advised to ask about additional charges for lay-away items and the length of time merchandise can be held by the store. Many stores will not offer a refund IMPORTED •r s\ nt«*UMDM MM* WfetU* A $0M UMT mi of "Cmmmmm Cu/r' 1 if a customer decides he doesn't want the item that has been left in lay-away. When purchasing an appliance, check to see if it comes with a warranty and if so, what type of warranty. Some warranties will replace the item if it fails to operate properly and other warranties offer only a partial refund for defective merchandise. During the holiday season, many consumers are asked to contribute to local charities. The VDACS Office of Consumer Affairs administers the Virginia Solicitation of Contributions Law and offers some advice on making your charity dollar count. Never give to a charity that you know nothing about. Ask plenty of questions because honest charities don’t mind giving out information. Consumers should also ask where their money is going. Insist on a written breakdown detailing the amount of your contribution that will be applied to fund raising, administration and com merciat purposes as well as the percent that will actually go to the charity. Demand identification from persons collecting for charity. Be suspicious of anyone who will not volunteer identification. Refuse to commit yourself over the telephone to solicitors. Ask the person to mail you the information before you commit yourself to a donation and before you give, find out if the charity is registered with either the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Office of Consumer Affairs or your local licensing office. Virginia law requires most all organizations which solicit funds to have an application on file with one or the other. If you have any questions about return policies, warranties, or contributing to a charity, please contact the VDACS Office of Consumer Affairs, P. O. Box 1163, Richmond, Virginia 23219 or phone (804) 786-2042 or call toll free 1 -800-552-9963. —Boston Notes By MRS.

The foot is a complex part of the body that functions in a complex manner. A study performed at a California university for the Department of the Army has proven that the foot functions in the following basic way. It flattens out to adapt to uneven terrain for a short period of time and also allows for the hips to rotate over the legs. It then moves into a relatively high arched position and locks to propel the body forward. If it remains flat (and loose) it causes problems but remaining stiff and high arched can also cause problems. A public service with the aim of promoting a better foot health environment.

Virginia’s Roads Costly To Drivers RICHMOND—Bumpy and broken pavement causes the average Virginia driver to waste $172 worth of gas each year, says a study recently released. Due to the deteriorated condition of nearly threefourths of Virginia’s most heavily traveled roads, the state’s 3.3 million drivers waste more than 417 million gallons of fuel per year worth some $575 million, according to The Road Information Program (TRIP) of Washington, D.C. Cracked and broken pavement causes cars to bounce and shudder, resulting in increased fuel consumption because of a loss of traction and inefficient power flow, the study indicates. Resubdivision Prohibition ^onunuea irom rage I) and the same vicinity.' and does not meet the requirement of Virginia Code Section 15.1-495 and our ordinance that such hardship should 'not be shared generally by other properties in the same zoning district’..." Baumgardner maintained. The commonwealth's attorney also stated that, in his opinion, both the zoning ordinance and subdivision ordinance prohibitions against resubdivision of land zoned RS-1 are “invalid and unenforcable” as applied to the Neals’ property “and to the property of many other landowners in this county. “Simply stated. I am of the opinion that a prohibition in a zoning ordinance as to the re-subdivision of a 37-acre parcel that has the slope, location and other attributes of the Neal property is in defensible," he wrote. He stopped short, however, of stating that all of Rappahannock's prohibitions on re-subdivision are “facially invalid." But Baumgardner held that Article 6 of the zoning ordinance (the RS-1 zoning category) is invalid on its face. He noted that Article 6 requires a proposed subdivision be rezoned RS-1 before it can be approved by the governing body. This provision "intertwines and confuses” the administrative function of subdivision plat approval with the legislative function of rezoning. Baumgardner said, citing the attorney general’s opinion. Refer To Supervisors Baumgardner concluded that the Neals are asking for a zoning variance from an invalid law and maintained that a variance is not the Thomas R.

JOHN WALKER JENKINS AUCTIONEERING SERVICE Washington, Virginia 675-3325 or 987-8211 appropriate means to remedy the problem confronting Mr. and Mrs. Neal. He recommended that the BZA dismiss the Neal application on the grounds that (1) there exists no hardship peculiar to the subject property and (2) the BZA lacks jurisdiction to grant a zoning variance in this case. Baumgardner suggested that the matter be referred to the supervisors for action “included but not limited to amendment or repeal of the above-cited sections of the ordinance, as they deem appropriate.” (Following a public hearing in July, 1980, the Rappahannock planning commission unanimously recommended amendments to the RS-1 section of the zoning ordinance which added uses allowed by right, special permit uses and minimum lot size and reworded the statement of intent to encourage large-lot, low density residential areas compatible with agricultural and conservation uses. The supervisors, however, never acted on the proposed amendments.) (In addition, at last month’s planning commission meeting at which he presented the rough draft pf the first few chapter* of the county’s revised zoning ordinance, professional planner Dick McNear maintained that blanket prohibition against resubdivision of property zoned RS-1 is “a bit arbitrary" and warned that it would be legally indefensible if challenged in court. He met with opposition from planning commissioners, however, who emphasized repeatedly that they wanted the prohibition against resubdivision of RS-1 parcels to be retained in the revised ordinance.)

They will begin by decorating the front corridor with ornaments and other decorations donated by the members. Other ideas include a door contest with each home room participating. The members of each room must come up with an original scene, related to Christmas, which can be used to decorate each door. They will be judged by an impartial group of teachers. The SCA also obtained a tree, from Mr. Frank McWhirt to be placed on the stage. Mr. McWhirt is the owner of Chestnut Hills Farm in Amissville. The Student Cooperative would like to thank Mr. McWhirt for the gracious donation. Conscience is the inner voice that warns us somebody may be looking. —Mencken Appeals To Supervisors (Continued from Page 1) operations from 1971 through 1981. “This is another casi where the federal govemmen started something and thei passed it down the line’ chairman J. R. Lathan commented, referring to th< discontinuance of federa programs which contribute* to the support of Sursun Corda. “We have no fund: now in the budget for this You’ll have to make i request next year at budge’ time," he advised Bird anc the school’s director ant founder, Camille Harris. Try Next Year The supervisors gave that same answer to Fanning Baumgardner who requested a contribution from the county to° Lord Fairfax Community College. Baumgardner, Rappahannock's representative to the Lord Fairfax Board of Directors, noted that the county had given a donation some years previous for the community college’s initial building program. “This is a much smaller request for the board’s annual budget (which includes administration of the college),” he explained. The request for financial support is based on the number of students from the county who attend Lord Fairfax (23) and totals $462. That compares to $7,800 for the City of Winchester and $14,197 from Frederick County, Baumgardner said. “The community college provides a local facility for young people interested in improving their skills,” he continued, adding that Lord Fairfax offers high school students an opportunity to receive credit for a wide range of' academic courses “normally taught by other high schools” but not available from RCHS. He noted that representatives from Lord Fairfax have volunteered to visit the county high school to discuss how local students can take advantage of the community * college. Supervisor H. B. Wood : suggested that Baumgardner make his request for county | support at budget time next year. 1 “Hopefully it can be done for this year as well as next ' year,” Baumgardner replied but received no further response from the board. The former county engineer also reported on bids for repairs to the court house. The two low bidders. L. G. Zindle of Amissville and Lloyd L. Sims of Boston, were less than $100 apart with Sims slightly lower at $5,1%.50 but with Zindel offering extra work not included in specifications for his $5,289 bid, according to Baumgardner. Wood said he knew of people who had been very pleased with works Sims had done for them, emphasizing that he was the low bidder. Work that Zindel has done in the past at the clerk's office has been very satisfactory, added clerk Diane Bruce. On the basis of a rating system that alloted 80 percent weight to low bid, ten percent weight to qualifications and 10 percent to responsiveness of bidder, Zindel came out on top, according to Baumgardner. At the .request of the supervisors, he agreed to ask Sims if the contractor is willing to do the same extra work preferred by Zindel and then report back to the board. Later in the meeting, after learning from commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner that installation of the fire escape from the second floor of the court house still hasn't corrected the fire code violations cited three years ago, the supervisors agreed to add construction of a step and swinging door that leads m the escape as part of the court house repair project.

Box 59 Washington, Va. 22747 675-3349 Noise Complaftits At last month’s meeting, the supervisors tabled until their December session discussion of a “dance hall” ordinance. The ordinance was proposed in response to five years of complaints from Claybert Smoot over noise from the community center. On Monday without discussing the tabled "dance hall” ordinance, the supervisors agreed to go into executive session. Before they could take a vote to close the meeting, Rachel Aylor, a spokesperson for a group representing thev Rappahannock Citizens League said she wanted to respond to Smoot's complaints. The League, which owns the community center on Fodderstack Road, is a nonprofit organization, she said. “It is not a dance hall.” In reply to earlier charges from Smoot, she maintained that neither the League nor users of the community center can be held responsible for cars parked in Smoot’s yard or in the nearby cemetery. Owners of the cars are not necessarily involved in activities at the center, Aylor pointed out. She questioned how one complainant can justify adoption of an ordinance, adding that members of the Citizens League have been to talk with both sheriff W. A. Buntin and commonwealth's attorney Baumgardner. “They seem to think it’s not much of a problem,” Ayk>r >aid. In regard to testimony from Jack Miller given at last month’s board meeting that he had sat on Smoot’s porch and heard noise from the center, Aylor said she too could hear noise of the fire siren and even traffic on Route 211 if she sat on her porch in Gid Brown Hollow. She acknowledged that Smoot is free to sit on his porch "to spy on what’s going on at the community center,” but noted that she and other League members have checked the center at night on many occasions and found no disturbance by groups using the building. “Only when the doors open, yes, you get a little noise," Aylor said, questioning why neighbors who live closer to the center than Smoot have never complained about excessive noise. Kathryn Treanor, representing the Rappahannock Contra Dancers, told the supervisors that her group uses the center generally twice a month on weekends from 8-12 p.m. “We have tried to be in compliance with Mr. Smoot’s wishes.” she said, adding that adoption of a “dance hall” ordinance would hurt not only the Contra Dancers but other groups using fire halls and similar facilities throughout the county. Treanor said she’d spoken to other landowners who lived in the vicinity of the community center but hadn't found anyone else bothered by noise from the building. She questioned why Smoot had charged at last month's meeting that other community center neighbors are afraid to voice their complaints about noise. Noise Meter Coining ‘‘There's no reason to consider the (dance hall) ordinance if you don't have a meter for measuring noise and you won’t have one for at least a month," said Ed Foster from the audience. He was referring to a decision by the supervisors earlier in the meeting to purchase a $560 decible meter and calibrating device. (The supervisors were required to buy the noise meter as part of the settlement reached in a legal case involving the county, local landowners and the Nationwide Pentacostal Evangelistic Association.) In apparent agreement with Foster and with no further discussion, the board again tabled consideration of the proposed dance hall ordinance. In a final item taken up after a two hour and ten minute executive session for personnel and litigation, the supervisors authorized planning commissioner Newbill Miller to secure enlargements of county soil maps from the Department of Agriculture’s cartographic office on a scale of one inch equals 660 feet. To be done just for the Sperryville area, the enlargements will be used to transfer lines marking the flood plain boundary of the Thornton River to zoning maps.
