Rappahannock News, January 14, 1982

Arctic Cold Blows Across County Record lows were set in the Washington. D. C., area this weekend for the coldest January 10 in almost a century The thermometer in the other Washington registered 15 degrees on Sunday, the lowest high for that date since 1845 when the temperature climbed only to lb degrees. Here in Rappahannock County it was even colder. Farly Sunday morning, the temperature in the town of W ashington edged up to zero just about the time that people were rolling out of warm beds. In the iv.. that wind back up into the Blue Ridge foothills, temperatures hung at minus five degrees. The extreme weather set a new record for power demand in the Allegheny Power System, according to C. Irvin father, southern division manager for Potomac Hdison. The new record of 5.720 megawatts eame at 11 am. Monday, breaking the old record of 5.504 set on January 12. 1 Wl. father said. Potomac Kdison ex perienced scattered power outages during the cold snap that began Saturday but the power losses were due” to equipment failure or isolated * situations of overloads rather than from increased demand, father said "People were just plugging in electric heaters where they never were plugged before." the division manager explained. Francis Updike of Rappahannock F.lectric Cooperative, the second utility that supplies Rappahannock customers, reported no power outages. He noted, however, the REC activated its load management system at 7:30 a m. Monday. Through radio controls, the system puts 1.100 hot water heaters on 12 Vi;n; nu te rot at ion cycles, thereby reducing peak demand charges from Vepco, ,he said "Thank goodness the nuclear power plants are back in operation or we could have had a repeat of the problems we experienced four years ago when the James River iced over and Vepco couldn't get enough water to cool its oil and coal fired plants." Updike said. Even with nuclear power available. Vepco, the utility that supplies REC with electricity, had outages, including a power loss in the town of Culpeper. Updike noted.

Equalization Board Ready To Begin Assessment Hearings Rappahannock's board of equalization will begin hearing com va;nts in the next few weeks on the new UK) percent fair market value assessments, according to chairman Herbert Barksdale. Barksdale came before the supervisors at last Wednesday's meeting to request authorization for expenditures on behalf of the board of equalization. The supervisors approved $5 an hour plus mileage as payment to the board members. I hey took no action on approving funds for a secretary <to keep records of the complaints voiced at the hearings), postage, ad vertising. printed notices or stationery The commissioner of revenue's . office w ill set appointments for landowners to meet with the equalization board and will handle putting all assessment changes effected by the board onto computerized tax records. according to Barksdale. He reported that he'll call the equalization board members — Hd Bailey. Fileen Day Dwyer. TV. Williams and Raymond Johnson — together in the next few days to set a meeting schedule which must be advertised for at least ten days before sessions get underway "When are you going to get finished.’" asked supervisor chairman Dick Latham. "it may be two years!" joked Barksdale, chuckling. In a more serious vein, he noted that m; ny property owners have co. lplaints on the new appraisals (which raised the countywide value of taxable property from SI 1.582.821 to S241.I40.400). I think we'll have to make many more visits than we originally anticipated " As an example of the problems that have arisen with the 100 percent fair market value assessment. Barksdalereported that the first assessment notice he received on a piece of mountain land he owns set per acre value at S5(X) an acre. Then a second notice lowered the appraisal for the partially cleared I7?acre parcel to S.f(K) an acre while a final notice valued it at $1,005 an acre, he said. Supervisor H.B. Wood asked if the equalization board will review just the assessments of landowners who have complained or if it will look at 'the whole picture" "Our responsibility is to equalize." Barksdale replied. "I said in the beginning that if we were going to be restricted to the ones that complain. I'm not serving on it1' He added, however, that the itate office of taxation personnel who trained the equalization board members said it is proper for them to review the value set on any and all county property. l onger Advertising County accountant Wally C ox told the supervisors that budget work must begin earlier this year in order to provide additional time for advertising which will probably be required by the new assessment. He said that if the supervisors set a tax rate that will yield a levy of more than one percent over the previous year, they must advertise the rate for four weeks rather than the standard two weeks. He suggested that the board ask all agencies to have budget requests for ldH2 tSf in bv April 1. He (Continued on Page 2) Study Shows County Taxes, Sales Ratios Among Lowest In Virginia By DAPH1NK HUTCHINSON Ha|>|>ahannm'k Staff U ritrr In 1979. only one of Virginia's 136 cities and counties had a lower true effective tax rate than Rappahannock, according to Real Estate Taxes and True Values in Virginia 1979 released last week by the Virginia Education Association's, research service. The VEA publication gives Cumberland County's 1979 effective tax rate as 17 cents follov ju by Rappahannock and Buchanan, both with 23 cents per $100. For that same year. Rappahannock's nominal tax rate was $4.20. "Nominal tax rate" and "effective true tax rate” are confusing terms. In explanation, Rappahannock County had a nominal tax rate of $4.20 in 1979, producing a tax that year of only $184 on an $80,000 home due to a 5.4 percent assessment ratio, one of the lowest in the state. By comparison, the assessment ratio in Rich mond City for 1479 was 81.8 percent. With that ratio and a nominal tax rate of SI.66, the Richmond City taxpayer would pay $1,088 for the same $80,000 home. For 1979, Rappahannock's median assessment sales ratio of 5.4 percent was higher than only four other localities. The counties with lower assessment ratios were Buchanan <2.6 percent). Dickenson (2.9 percent). Smith (5.0 percent) and Washington (5.3 percent). The assessment sales ratio is reached by dividing assessed value by selling price. According to the VEA publication, the ratios for each locality were listed by numerical value and the median ratio was selected as the best indication of the locality's existing assessmentsales ratio. Basic sales data for each locality were taken from the recordation tax receipts that the law requires the clerk of the court in each locality to Tile with the Virginia Department of Taxation. Only fair market sales were used to calculate the assessment sales ratios. (Fair market sales are defined as arms length transactions where there is a willing buyer and a willing Seller neither of which is under pressure to buy or sell. This definition excludes transfers that are not completely arms length sales such as sales within a family, foreclosures.' sales to a governmental unit, etc.) Lowest In Area For 1979. Rappahannock's true effective tax rate of 23 cents per $100 was approximately half that of the other counties in the area. By comparison. both Orange's and Fauquier's true effective rate for 1979 was 40 cents. Warren’s 43 cents, Madison's 39 cents and Culpeper's 51 cents. Rappahannock's median assessment rq,tio. of 5.4 percent likewise ranked far below the assessment ratios of its neighbors. For 1979. the median assessment ratio in Culpeper was 82.9 percent; in Fauquier 83.8 percent; in Madison 70.8 percent; in Orange 88.9 percent and in Warren 8b.8 percent. Under those tax rates and assessment ratios. the estimated real estate tax charged on an $80,000 (market value) home in 1979 was $408 in Culpeper. $444 in Warren. $320 in Fauquier and Orange and $312 in Madison. Those figures compare to $184 charged for an $80,000 home in Rap(Continued on Page 4) NOTICE The Rappahannock County Welfare Department is currently developing the Title XX Plan of services to be offer' ' the community in fiscal year 1982-83.

Angry Landowners Want Illegal Hunting Stopped Bv datum; hitchinson Rappahannock Ncu* Staff VI rilct A courtroom full of aroused citizens faced the Rappahannock supervisors last Wednesday- demanding that they take action to control the illegal hunting that has plagued the county this deer season. Concerned by tales of terrorism and deliberate disregard of the law relayed by speaker after speaker, the supervisors agreed to appoint a special citizens committee to work with the board, lawenforcement personnel and game officials on a solution to the problem of slob hunters. In addition, they indicated they would seek help from Rappahannock's delegate to the General Assembly. Raymond R. "Andy'- Guest, in fighting for changes in Game Commission regulations. nomer rienry stopped short of characterizing the law breakers that have harassed the lastleton area for the past four to six weeks as hunters — even slob hunters "We've been bothered by deer killers. They're not hunters!” Henrymaintained. tie reported that he's counted as many as 17 vehicles at a time parked at an intersection, two to three men to a car. guns loaded and .ready, waiting for their dogs to drive deer off posted land onto the road. Henry said he's called the sheriff and the game warden with complaints but'that both have repeatedly insisted their hands are tied in trying to deal with illegal road hunting. "What they're really saying is that it's up to the landowner to catch someone in the act of illegally shooting a deer. get the license number, swear out a warrant and then spend a couple of days pursuing it in court.” He told the supervisors that, according to the game warden, a landowner can't stop dogs from coming on his property and neither can he prevent hunters, if they’re unarmed, from following as long as they maintain they’re going after the dogs. "W'e need to get the laws changed.” Henry insisted "We need to give the game warden, the state police and the sheriff the authority to do something about this. he said, volunteering to ac ompanv a representative from the board to Richmond to seek regulation changes from the game commission. Citi/en Support "I'm concerned about law and order.'' said Fril Forrester, another Castleton landowner "We re being intimidated by armed men in baulks, as many as 20 to 20 vclficies in one day. he said, adding that they cruised back roads with guns loaded, waiting for dogs previously loosed in ft he area to Hush their prey I his takes place on land that is all private property and posted against hunting. Forrester said. "We need action, legislation — whatever it takes. The citizens will hack you up." he assured the supervisors. "We've encountered as many as 20 different vehicles in one day." reported Jimmy Cannon. "It's one heck of a problem." he said, noting that most of those hunting illegally in the C’astlfeton area were from outside the county. Cannon said his wile had been delayed in going to work when road hunters blocked the drive to the C astleton post office where she is postmaster. "Those peonle just won't move. I hey pull on your land. They shoot from their trucks." On a recent evening, he said he hearef six gun shots alter dark comun> tnnn a pick-up truck that w as cruising down the road. "I don't know il they were shooting at deer or cattle or what Something needs to he done. All the problem doesn't he with road hunters, according to Flint Hill landowners. Patricia Saltonstall and Jack Dwyer. Rather than just pointing a linger at outsiders. Saltonstall suggested. "l ook carefully at Rappahannock County citizens who hunt and p e r m i t hunting.'' She described her farm as an island, bounded bv neighboring farms rather than highway frontage. Instead of shooting from vehicles parked on the road, illegal hunters walk onto her tarm from adjoining land where they have permission to hunt, according to Saltonstall. Attracted by a mountain teeming with wildlife, the trespassers - each and even one—claim ignorance of the boundaries between her property and that of theit host, she said. They may behave like overgrown bov' but these lawbreakers arc armed with the weapons ol men. Saltonstall added Restrict l sc By Owner* Over the years, she said trespassers have destroyed property and wildlife. assaulted her and created Midi an atmosphere of tear that all activities--horseback riding. hiking, bird watching and am other outdoor uses of her land - come to a halt during hunting season. Saltonstall reported that she d taken two men to court who were caught trespassing and illegally hunting on her property. I he\ d been told In the manager ol a neighboring farm where they had per mission to hunt that her mountain belonged to their host, she added. Salt oust all said that she's now had the mountain top cleared for pasture and the entire area reteneed "so there's no question where the boundary is.” Yet just last week, hunters trespassing on her land shot a deer and dragged it underneath a new tetice and across a field to where their truck was parked. ”1 t< ontinued on Page 2) Holiday Closing On Monday.

Landowners Seek Controls (Continued from Page 1) knew the vehicle and 1 knew who it belonged to,” Saltonstall said, but since she didn't actually see the men shoot the deer, there was nothing she could do. On Saturday, she continued. a baby buck was killed on the back of the mountain by hunters who entered her land from a neighboring farm. According to Saltonstall, the trespassers ran like scared rabbits back on to their host’s property as soon as they realized they’d been seen. “These are men? That’s not my idea of a man!" In 1979. Saltonstall recalled, she met up with “true blue slob hunters” two days before the season even opened. A writer by profession. Saltonstall was walking through the woods on her property dictating into a tape recorder. The slob hunters took her tape recorder, roughing her up in the process, and insisted they had permission to hunt on the land from the owner. She emphasized repeatedly that her problems arise not from road hunters but from trespassers who have been given permission to hunt on adjoining land and are either uninformed by their hosts or deliberately ignore where the host’s property ends. "I’m appalled at the attitude of my neighbors." Saltonstall said, asking the supervisors to adopt measures that place shared responsibility on landowners for the behavior of guests hunting with permission on their property. I No Enforcement Attorney Jack Dwyer charged that part of the problem with illegal hunting lies in the failure of local law officers to enforce existing regulations. The opening speaker at Wednesday's meeting. Dwyer told the supervisors how he apprehended a trespasser dragging a dead deer across his property the previous weekend. This incident gives "visible proof that there isn't any law enforcement * in Rappahannock County," Dwyer insisted in a later interview. According to Dwyer, his farm hand. Junior Eastham. reported an armed man in the field with a dead deer. Having just read the editorial in the previous week's Rappahannock News detailing Castleton's crisis with illegal hunting. Dwyer said he fifst got a weapon before riding out to the field with Eastham and upon approaching the intruder, ordered him to place his rifle against the fence and step back. “He did so. 1 asked him what he was doing on my property and he said he was hunting. 1 told him it was private, posted property. He said there were no signs." Dwyer noted that directly across from his field, a 24 inch by 24 inch brightly painted sign warns "Posted—Trespassers will be prostecuted—J. J. Dwyer.” The intruder next claimed he wasn't hunting on Dwyer’s property. Dwyer noted, however, that the man was a half mile into his land with iRappahantuick £mua Rappahannock & Adioinmg Counties per yea' $/ 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 i )New i iRenewal i tChock f nclosed NAME _ .

According to the hunter, he'd shot the deer on Roland Welch's farm—where he had permission to hunt—and then dragged the carcass under the fence line, crossing Dwyer's field to reach his car. No One On Duty According to Dwyer. F 'am tried calling the « !• iifs office, reached the jailor and was informed that neither a deputy nor a state trooper was on duty in the county that Saturday morning but that assistance would be sought from another jurisdiction. Dwyer also called magistrate Mary Schumaker and commonwealth's attorney Douglas Baumgardner before a state trooper from Fauquier arrived with Rappahannock game warden Jim BaTikston. The trooper ordered Dwyer to give him the gun for return to the owner, according to the Flint Hill landowner. When he refused, Dwyer said, the trooper threatened to charge him with grand larceny. The trooper also volunteered to get the intruder’s name and address. "1 could have done that myself! 1 didn't need the police for that." Dwyer said. At that point, he said, a federal land bank official who had been hunting with the intruder arrived on the scene and warned he would charge Dwyer with brandishing a weapon. "1 told him that was fine with me and gave him directions to the magistrate's." Seeking help from the game warden. Dwyer reported Bankston as saying that he couldn't do anything because he didn't see the deer shot. Next. Dwyer said, he asked Bankston to stay with the hunter while he went to the magistrate’s to swear out a trespass warrant, adding that by then he’d also contacted deputy John Henry Woodward who was to meet (Continued on Page 8) Miss Messina Bride Of Mr. Matthews Mr. and Mrs. Gaetano Messino of Rome.

Assessment Hearings To Begin (Continued from Page 1) also proposed that the supervisors make a decision on salary increases for county employees by that date and take a position as well on increase for constitutional officers so they can relay that opinion to the state compensation board (which sets salaries for constitutional officers throughout the state). Supervisor Hubert Gilkey asked what impact the equalization board will have on the budget time frame. “When you open up an equalization, board, you don't know where it’s goine to end." Cox replied. He expressed hope that the equalization board will be far enough along by May 1 to give the supervisors some idea of what the tax base will be so they can set a rate to produce revenue required by the 1982-83 budget. He noted that the budget picture will remain out of focus for some time yet since the school board won't know what to expect from the state in the way of revenue until April. In addition, he said, welfare departments, mental health and mental retardation services, the health department and other agencies don’t know yet the total effect federal cuts and the new block grant programs will have on their budgets. Dog Fund Ended After a short public hearing, the supervisors voted unanimously to abolish the dog fund, revenue from dog license tags that was used to pay claims from farmers for livestock killed by strays. Donald Fridenstine was the only speaker opposed to the move. He said he'd lost two calves to dogs and so had put out bear traps, catching five strays. "There are so many strays in this county, you couldn't count them! There are hardly any sheep raised here anymore because vou can't raise sheep and stray dogs at the same time... "They run calves at night, kill them and eat them because they're hungry.'' Variance On Lot Size Can Be Authorized » in an opinion released January 6. Virginia attorney general Marshall Coleman ruled that Rappahannock’s board of zoning appeals may grant a variance on minimum lot size set by the county's Ordinances. The question arose from a recent BZA decision in which that board granted a variance permitting a landowner near Hint Hill to divide a two-acre lot — the minimum si/e permitted by the zoning ordinance — into two oneacre lots. The action to grant that variance was challenged as to its legality and was subsequently reversed by circuit court judge Shore Robertson at the request of the BZA. But the court's decision aia not settle tne controversy over whether or not the BZA is empowered to grant a variance on minimum lot size, provided the criteria for considering a variance are satisfied. Accordingly, commonwealth's attorney Douglas Baumgardner, who serves also as county attorney. asked for the opinion from C oleman.

Coleman also noted a recent Supreme Court of Virginia case where the court stated that a challenged lot size restriction could be remedied by variance. The court emphasized in its ruling that one element which a board of zoning appeals may consider as the basis for a variance is the "size" of a specific piece of property. Coleman pointed out. Fridenstine said, arguing for retaining the dog fund. Supervisor H.B. Wood said he too had cows and knew the dangers to livestock posed by stray dogs. But a single claim for an expensive horse could wipe out the total dog fund and more, he added. ''I've lost as many sheep and calves as anyone on this board.” said supervisor Latham, noting that stray dogs are "a real nuisance." He agreed, however, that maintaining the dog fund could place the county in financial jeopardy. Other counties have laws controlling dogs, countered Fridenstine. and as a result, those jurisdictions have few problems with strays killing livestock. Supervisor Clarence Baldwin asked if the dog license fees are used to pay livestock claims. The fees go to pay the dog warden as well, answered Latham. "For what?" asked Helen Dixon. Ciilkey replied. "Oh really? He didn't pick up eight German shepherds on my place that killed a calf last month. . . or the nine puppies they had.” Dixon maintained, adding that the animals weren't licensed. ”1 think we should eliminate the dog warden's job. It's not necessary." With nri further discussion, the supervisors voted unanimously to abolish the dog fund. By another unanimous vote, they accepted the $5.1% low bid from Lloyd Simms of Boston for renovation of the court house In a two hour executive session for personnel and litigation, the supervisors met with new zoning » ad rhinistrator David Konick.

For this reason, it's desirable that house-hunting be done by husband and wife wherever possible. However, in the case where a move over a considerable distance is involved, the best arrangement is for either the husband or the wife to look separately and then for both to get together to make the final decisionmaking inspection. But there are some limitations when it comes to making the job of finding a new home such a large family undertaking that the group becomes a burden. Children will have a voice in the family's new home, but it is not a good idea to involve very young children in the initial house visits. Older children - such as high school or college age are a different story. They possess a certain maturity of judgment that can contribute to a homebuying decision. Children's needs are important in making the choice ot a family home, but those needs are best determined by the parents. It generally works out that children are happy with a house that makes their parents happy.

Inc Member Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, JANUARY 14, 1982 Hunting Problems On January 6, the upstairs room of the Rappahannock court house was filled with angry citizens, up in arms over illegal hunting which mushroomed to serious proportions this year. Their complaints fell on sympathetic ears, evidenced by the willingness of the county supervisors to form a special committee comprised of the board, landowners, law enforcement personnel and game officials to address the problem of illegal hunting on posted property, whether from the road or by hunters who have permission to hunt on adjoining lands. A session has already been scheduled for January 27 when the committee will meet with Rappahannock’s delegate to the General Assembly at the court house in Washington. But citizens who have been plagued by slob hunters have an earlier opportunity to air their concerns. The Virginia Forestry Association is sponsoring a workshop on “Helping Landowners Deal with (Problem) Sportsmen” to be held January 25 in Richmond. We urge local people to take advantage of that forum. Not only will it present a chance to publicize the problems we’re facing here in Rappahannock; it may also be a source of possible solutions to those problems. The county’s special committee on illegal hunting should also consider sending a delegation to the capitol in April for the Virginia Game Commission’s annual public hearing on hunting regulations. As we understand it, the authority to control hunting deer with dogs rests primarily with the Game Commission and that type of hunting is a major factor contributing to the abuses landowners have suffered here throughout the past season. It’s not just landowners who should avail themselves of every opportunity to attack the dilemma posed by slob hunters. The good sportsmen who abide by rules and regulations, the majority who respect the rights of property owners should lend their expertise to the effort. After all, they are the ones who will suffer as more,and more posted signs go up on farm fences. We hope that the good hunters will join in the fight to curb hunting abuses, both at meetings here in Rappahannock and at the Game Commission and Forestry Association sessions in Richmond. Zoning Compliance The county scored a victory for the integrity of its zoning and subdivision ordinances last week with the application for a special use permit from Massanova Pentecostal Church for its Christian day school. Initially, the pastor of the church refused to apply for the permit on the grounds that the school was an integral part of the church ministry permitted as a non-conforming use since Massanova existed prior to the adoption of the zoning ordinance in 1073. But new zoning administrator David konick persevered, relying on both his knowledge of the law and an opinion from commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner that a special use permit was legally required for the school’s operation. Their persistence is in sharp contrast to past policy which—for a variety of reasons—let zoning violations go unpursued. Now it’s up to the board of zoning appeals to judge the special use permit application under the terms set out in Article’10-13 of the zoning ordinance. I poll rev iew of those terms, we feel that Massanova’s request merits approval. If healih department requirements for sanitary facilities are met, operation of a school with limited enrollment in the church building will not affect adversely the character of the neighborhood. Neither will it affect adversely the health and safety of persons residing or working in the area or the property values of homes in the neighborhood. Unfortunately, Massanova is the focus of considerable bad feelings engendered by its association with a church campground located nearby. We hope opponents of the campground won t be influenced by that earlier battle. What happened in the past is over and done with. The campground was an incompatible use but it was eventually approved as the result of a series of errors on the part of local government officials. The church school doesn't fall into that category. We hope it will be welcomed by the citizens living on Aaron Mountain now that zoning , requirements have been met. Lower Temps Pose Health Hazard (Continued from Page 1) while packing the wood stove full, the recent Arctic weather presents other health dangers. Many of Rappahannock's older homes are poorly insulated and healed bv wood alone, an nergy source that is often inadequate when high winds blow frigid air through cracks and crevices. As the temperatures decrease, the danger of hypothermia increases, according to Dr. Jerry Martin from the Rappahannock Medical Center. Hypothermia occurs when the core temperature of the body—normally between 97.6 and degrees—drops. "It's much more of a danger to older people who don't tolerate temperature extremes as well as do middle aged or young persons." Martin said. Farly symptoms are shivering, muscle weakness and loss of coordination, followed by mental confusion and irregularities in heart beat, the doctor said. "If the body's core temperature drops too low. lethargy changes first to stupor and then to outright coma." Martin added. Anyone suspected of suffering from the onset of hypothermia should be dressed in warm, dry clothes, moved close to a heat source and encouraged to drink hot liquids. Martin advised. If symptoms persist. they should seek medical attention. In frigid weather like Rappahannock has experienced over the past several days. persons spending time out-of-doors face an added threat of frost bite, particularly when the wind chill factor is high, according to Martin. He described symptoms as numbness in the extremities followed by burning pain and a complete loss of sensation. Often, he said, there's an accompanying pallor or whiteness of the extremities. To treat minor frost bite cases, the victim should immerse the affected extremity in warm — not hot—water and wiggle the toes or fingers to restore circulation. Martin said. A doctor should be seen if either pain or pallor persists, he suggested. Tax Study (Continued from Page 1) pahannock and to $656 as the average tax statewide on an $80,000 home. All of the surrounding counties recently have gone trom discounted appraisals to 100 percent fair market value assessments. Rappahannock County underwent its 100 percent fair market value assessment last year but the supervisors voted to delay implementation of the new values until the 1982-83 tax year. The VEA publication gives estimated true value of locally taxed property in Rappahannock for 19?*) as $21 7,377,000. That represents a decrease of 0.49' i percent over the VEAs estimate of $218,446,000 for I true value of locally taxed * property in 1978. i By contrast. Rappahannock County budgets for those years set "assessed va'ues of property subject to local taxation" as $14,470,440 in 1978 and $15,370,431 in 1979. an increase of approximately six percent.

She notetjl that owners of the property directly across the street are aware of the plans for the trailer and have voiced no objections. Going through the rest of the special use permit criteria. Bird determined that the proposed use will not be ' hazardous to or in conflict with the predominant character of the neighborhood; that it would not affect adversely health or safety; that it would not be | detrimental to public welfare ‘ or to property and improvements in the neighI borhood and that it was in accord with zoning ordinance provisions. Sean Kilpatrick described the area of Rappahannock where the trailer will be located as a sparsely settled, highly agricultural, almost forgotten corner of the county. "There are not going to be any neighbors nearby." he said. “Will you move the trailer off the property when you’re finished?" asked Bird. "Fast—yes," Estes replied, adding that they planned to sell the unit when the tenant house was renovated. The BZA voted unanimously to issue the permit pending title transfer on the five acres and completion of the septic system now being installed. In addition, the board required a $5,(XX) bond to ensure the trailer is removed at the end of the permit period. Car Sales Permit The board also granted Jon B. Morgan a special use permit to buy and sell antique cars as part of a business known as Millwood Antique Car Gallery. Morgan is limited to having five antique or collector cars for sale at a time and all vehicles must be housed. He said that he currently has bays for 22 cars and conceivably will get a building permit at some point in the future to put in another set of garages. Morgan noted that he's been storing cars on his property on Route 522 near Woodville for some time and plans no change in his operation but needs the special use permit in order to acquire dealer's license and tags from the state. "I strongly urge that you grant the special use permit," said Kilpatrick, a resident of the Woodville area. He told the BZA that the garages are not visible from the road at all and described Morgan's home—which was on the 1%0 county house tour—as "a beautiful asset to the community” and Morgan himself as "a marvelous asset to the community."

(The variance was required from the ordinance's prohibition against resubdivision of any lot zoned RS1) At that time, the BZA tabled the variance application pending legal advice. At a special meeting of the BZA on November 26, commonwealth's attorney Douglas Baumgardner advised that the Neals' request could be treated as a boundary adjustment if it •was remanded to the zoning administrator. The property was purchased as two parcels—one 30 acres and one seven acres. The Neals are seeking to have boundary lines redrawn so that the small lot includes their house and then they plan to sell 30 unimproved acres. Last Thursday, Konick reported that there's some question as to whether the Neals' land was rezoned with „ the rest of the Lindgren-Noce tract of which it initially was a part. The Neals purchased their 30-acre lot in 1970. said the zoning administrator, adding that Oscar Lindgren's rezoning to residential subdivision was approved in 1976. "It may be that the only land zoned residential subdivision was the land that Lindgren was holding at that time." he said. If that's the case, then the Neals have a 30-acre parcel zoned agricultural and an adjoining seven acres zoned RS-I which were purchased at a later date from Lindgren after his tract was rezoned to residential subdivision. Konick added. He agreed to research the issue and follow it through with the county planning commission. Legislators Will Face $500 Million Shortfall By SEAN ADAMS \ run Hr I NrMipaprn I riler When the difficult task of redistricting is finally completed, the 1982 General Assembly will be faced with another difficult job: how to compensate for a projected $500 million shortfall in federal revenues over the next two fiscal years. Outgoing Gov. John N. Dalton, in a speech to a joint meeting of the legislature on Wednesday, is expected to present a balanced budget of $13 billion for the 1982-84 biennium that proposes no tax increases. Federal cuts have been incorporated into the budget by cutting back some programs and eliminating others, legislators said this week. Gov.-elect Charles S. Robb, a Democrat who will be sworn in Saturday, will have to work with the Democratic-controlled legislature to make further budget adjustments and to determine whether tax increases will be used to offset federal deficits. However. the 1982 assembly's first order of business will have to work with the Democraticcontrolled legislature to make further budget adjustments and to determine whether tax increases will be used to ofiset federal deficits. However, the 1982 assembly's first order of business will likely be to develop a plan that will be accepted by Mr. Robb, the federal court in Richmond, and the U.S. Justice Department. Loaaea Expected State Sen. Adelard L. Brault (D-Fairfax). a senior member of the Senate Finance Committee, said last week that the state would not only lose as much as 5300 million in federal revenues, but would suffer an additional loss of 5180 million because of the Reagan administration's tax cut.

Proposed by the Department of Highways and Transportation, the program would begin next July 1, if sufficient funding is provided. Out of 90 projects listed in urban, primary and interstate construction programs as effected by the six-year critical improvement plan, none are in Rappahannock. The county will receive additional money for its secondary system, however, if the critical improvement plan is funded by the General Assembly. According to summaries supplied by the highway department, Rappahannock can expect to receive $168,737 in 1982-83 and $68,676 in 1983-84 based on current revenues. The summary sheets list no allocations for 1984-88. leaving a total of $237,413 that the county can expect to get for its secondary roacLq system from 1982-88 undlff^ m. $399,947 in 1983-84, ^406,950 in 1984-85, $415,264 in 1985-86, $418,523 in 1986-87 and $423,1 12 in 1987-88 for a total of $115,339.111 over the next six years. Officials said the proposal would meet only some of the state's highest priority needs, and they repeated their warning that the highway program would be in serious jeopardy without increased funding. Spelling out the extent of the jeopardy, they said: —The state's road and bridge construction and reconstruction work, already sharply cut, would be phased out almost entirely in less than three years. —In fiscal year 1983-84, for the first time, Virginia will begin forfeiting federal aid because of an inability to pay its matchirfj; share. The state won’t be able to use an estimated $1.1 billion in federal funds by 1988, under present revenue sources. — Some maintenance operations have been curtailed. and by fiscal 1985-86 funds from existing sources won't pay for all the work required merely to maintain the present 52,600-mile highway system. Caused By Shortfalls Commissioner Harold C. King said the dilemma resulted from shortfalls in revenue from motor fuel and other road-user taxes; inflation, and the fact that increasing maintenance costs leave fewer dollars for Bridge Party Mrs. Roy L. Reeve entertained the Sperryville Bridge Club at her home Friday evening. Guests were Mrs. T. J. Pillar, Mrs. W. H. Cordle, Mrs. R. E. Thompson, Mrs. L. J. Kilby. Mrs. Mary Quaintance. Mrs. I. R. Kilby, Mrs. Brown Miller and Mrs. Dale Metzinger. Prize winners were Mrs. Miller. Mrs. Pillar. Mrs. Metzinger and Mrs. L. J. Kilby. construction and reconstruction projects. He said the department had tightened up on overhead and administrative expenses, but that such action alone would not solve the problem. In the past 41 months, employment in the department statewide has been reduced from 12,865 to 10,962, a decline of 1,903. Under manpower projections based on current revenue sources, the number of employees in the department would fall to approximately 7,600 in fiscal year 1987-88, and most of them would be assigned to maintenance work. Such a continued personnel reduction, if it occurs, would make it “extremely difficult" to re-staff the department later to administer any significant construction or reconstruction program, he said. In developing the proposed six-year program, the department asked local governments to identify their highest priority road and bridge needs, prior to fund allocation public hearings last sprino^and also asked operato^^of local public trMl^f systems for information as to their financial needs. Thus, the department said. the program reflects local as well as state assessments of the situation. (Rappahannock's local officials gave top priority to the four-laning of Route 211 between Washington and Sperryville. This project does not appear on the list supplied by the highway department however.) Funding proposed under the new program would: —Keep intact the state’s ability to match all available federal funds. —Insure enough money to maintain existing highways and bridges. — Develop 52 miles of interstate routes, 12 arterial network bypasses of cities and towns, and 53 miles of rural arterial highway sections. —Reconstruct 250 miles of the primary system. —Finance 144 urban Street improvement projects in 51 cities and large towns. —Continue an improvement program on the secondary system. —Construct 562 new bridges to replace obsolete structures, including 63 on the primary system and 499 on the secondary system. —Strenghten or widen 13 Free Dogwoods For Arbor Day The National Arbor Day Foundation is giving two free White Dogwood trees to all new foundation members joining during January. 1982.

SI .7 Billion Total Needed The proposed highway and bridge construction and reconstruction will cost approximately $3.1 billion over the six years. Of that amount, $597 million is expected from current revenue sources, and $1.1 billion will be available in federal aid if it can be matched, leaving a need for $1.4 billion in additional state funds for highway and bridge construction and reconstruction. During the same period, maintenance of the existing highway system will require approximately $2.6 billion, about $247 million more than anticipated from present sources. The six-year program also proposes a total of $132.5 million in state aid for public transportation. Some $73.8 million is expected from existing sources, leaving $58.7 million required in additional funds. The total cost of the highway improvement and maintenance work and public transit aid would amount to $5.8 billion by Fiscal year 1987-88. Approximately $3 billion is expected from existing revenue sources and the $1.1 billion will be available in federal aid for highways if it can be matched. This means the state would have to raise $1.7 billion in additional funding if objectives of the program are to be obtained Fuel Program Gets Funds An-additional $6.7 million has been made available to Virginia through the Federal Low Income Energy Assistance Block Grant, according to the Virginia Department of Welfare. As a result. Virginia's Fuel Assistance Program is now expected to receive $34.1 million. As of December 31, 1%1, $15.3 million had been committed to assist low income families with their fuel bills. In addition to helping needy families pay their heating bills, funds are also budgeted for repairs to dangerous heating equipment. Eligible households may receive a maximum of $200 to repair or replace inoperable or unsafe heating equipment. To qualify for this assistance, a household must be eligible for a fuel benefit and the household's heating equipment must be inoperable or pose a health hazard. Persons in need of assistance to pay their fuel bills may apply for help at the Rappahannock Department of Welfare in Washington, telephone 6753613.

Adults of any age as well as high school juniors or seniors may apply for the program. The applications and information may be received by contacting Piedmont Technical Education Center or by seeing a high school guidance counselor. In addition, applicants will be given a test for basic skills and required to have an interview with members of the nursing staff. A dental examination report must also be filed with the school. All of these steps must be completed by February 28. No applications will be accepted after that date. There is no tuition charge to residents of Orange, Madison, Culpeper or Rappahannock Counties. However, the cost for books, uniforms, and other expenses is approximately $400. Only 24 applicants can be accepted so it is .very important to apply early. A total of 165 candidates has graduated from the program since it was begun in 1968. In the last five years graduates have had 100 per cent passing on State Board of Nursing Exams and have been licensed to practice the art of nursing. 1982 General Assembly (Continued from Page 4) shortfall of approximately $500 million over what had been projected,” he said. The deficit in the Medicaid program alone, he said, will be from $100 million to $125 million over the two years. The highway department will also suffer a revenue shortfall over the biennium, and other programs likewise will be hard hit. Although Mr. Brault said there is an $80 million surplus remaining from the 1980-82 budget, he added that Dalton will use $36 million to eliminate the Medicaid surplus for 198384. Before dealing with financial issues, however, the new legislature, which will be sworn in Wednesday, may have to deal with the redistricting o? the House of Delegates, a task with which the 1981 legislature has struggled since early last year. The 1981 assembly was expected to deal with redistricting Tuesday in an effort to reach a compromise with Gov. Dalton. If no such agreement is reached, however, the 1982 assembly’s first order of business will likely be to develop a plan that will be accepted by Mr. Robb, the federal court in Richmond, and the U.S. Justice Department. Court Deadline The 1981 assembly is working under a courtordered deadline of Feb. 1 to come up with a legal redistricting plan for the House. It appears that Gov. Dalton and the legislature are heading toward a plan for 100 single-member House districts. The latest House plan divides Fauquier into three districts, creates a singlemember district for Reston and splits Loudoun County into two districts. Rappahannock and Clarke counties remain intact in a district including Warren County and portions of Fauquier and Culpeper counties. As many as 2,000 bills are expected to be filed in the 1982 session, which, under the Virginia Constitution, can last no longer than 60 days. The session can be extended, however, for an additional 30 days. In the 1981 session, 1,670 bills were filed. right hxpeeled Aside from financial issues and re a pportionment, ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment, strengthening of the state conflict-of-interest laws, and changes in the organization of the state highway department will be issues of major interest. The ERA, which will be coming before the assembly for the ninth time for ratification, will be hotly debated. The ERA has reached the Senate floor for a vote only twice; it has never gotten out of committee on the House side. Patricia Winton. coordinator of the Virginia National Organization for Women (NOW), said this week that in spite of past difficulties in gaining ratification in Virginia, the chances for passage this year are "very good." But to complicate matters, a federal judge in Idaho ruled late in December that Congress acted illegally in extending the ratification deadline to June 30, 1982, and that states can rescind their ratifications if they choose. So far, 35 of the necessary 38 states have ratified the amendment. “I think the members of the General Assembly probably aren’t giving it that much weight," Ms. Winton said of the judge's ruling. Merger The merger of F & M National Corporation of Winchester and the Suburban Bank of Richmond was approved December 29 by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. Approval by the Bureau of Financial Institutions of Virginia had been granted previously. Suburban shareholders will meet in late January or early February to vote on the merger. Suburban Bank has four offices in the Richmond metropolitan area.

Mr. Ihmkston has no idea at all v. here my property lines are. He doesn’t have the slightest idea where Mr Welch’s piopertv line is Neither did die hunter and the hunter didn’t care where the line was. ' said Dwyer, noting the Welch property involved in die hunting incident consists ■ I a narrow strip of land (rounded on one side by his (arm and on the other by Mis Saltonsfall s.

Most of the illegal hunters around Sperrvville come from out of the county, particularly from Page County, he said. "They hunt on ntv property and try to tell me it s the national forest!" he told the supervisors. Swindler suggested that the supervisors lobby the Virginia Game Commission to have a two week hunting season for both buck and doe established statewide. "That will solve a lot of the problem." "And keep the dogs out!" added several people in the crowded courtroom "If their hands (law en forccment officers and game wardens) are tied, tnaybe we can untie them." said supervisor Wood, adding that he had expected both to attend Wednesday's meeting. William K e i m o I Amissville noted that Rappahannock game warden Jim Bankston couldn't attend the supervisors’ session in’ uniform. He recalled that Bankston had done so for an earlier meeting on the road hunting problem. "Someone reported him and he received a reprimand from Richmond." As a solution to Rap pahannocks problem with illegal hunting. Keim suggested a three pronged approach: prohibit the running ot deer with dogs, establish a two week season statewide and either grant game wardens full law enforcement powers or assign a deputy to ride with the ConiniitlcMiuggcsIed Supervisor chVu-man Dick l.athaijn proposed i^hat citizen representatives be \epointed to work with thiVcommonwgalth's attorney, stmrifl. game I warden and boardVd supervisors on a solution tX hunting problems. Hob Dennis of Flint Hill noted 1 that the supervisors have iln the past considered and (rejected ordinances which other counties have found useful in controlling hunting violations, tin a split vote on two separate occasions. the board defeated ordinances which would have made it illegal to carry a loaded rifle or shotgun in a motor vehicle or on a public right of wav without written permission from landowners on both sides of the road.) Dennis reported that the Virginia Forestry Association will hold a conference in Richmond on January 25 dealing with landownersportsmen problems and suggested the supervisors consider sending a I v 11. ?>1.111u 11vc to uia i meeting. In addition, he said, the Virginia (Janie Commission will hold its annual advertised publie hearing on hunting regulations in April, another meeting the supervisors should consider attending. Dwyer interjected that he liked latham's committee proposal and asked how the group could be established. Homer Henry added a suggestion that the super visors name two citi/en members: one representing landowners with problems with road hunting and the other representing those that have problems with intrusions by trespassers who have permission to hunt on adjoining land. Mrs. Donald Lridenstine. another Castleton resident, proposed that the supervisors immediately enact an or; dinance to prohibit running deer with dogs lit' they are empowered to do so) since training season tor deer dogs—with its concurrent intrusions onto private property—begins in the spring Commonwealth's attorney Douglas Baumgardner explained that the supervisors can only prohibit dogs from running at large, defined as being when the animal is roaming, self hunting or not under the direct control of the owner. Baumgardner also noted that fox. raccoon and deer hunters may go on prohibited land to retrieve their dogs as long as they aren’t armed. "The board is familiar with other options for controlling guns carried in motor vehicles." he added. Keira. who has been in recent contact with the Game Commission, countered that the supervisors can only regulate hunting with dogs outside of the season. The Game Commission has sole authority to allow or not allow running deer with dogs during the deer season, he said. The supervisors can regulate the use of dogs in season if the dogs ate selfhunting or not under the immediate control of the owner. Baumgar d n e r repeated He acknowledged, however, that it would be up to the judge to determine what exactly constitutes "immediate control" and that it would be decided on a case bv case basis. " Dennis noted that in some counties, the game commission has prohibited hunting deer with dogs at the request ot the local government. Sheri f f VV. A. B u n t i n maintained that it would help if Rappahannock and Culpeper counties had the same season; that the problems with illegal road hunters arose in the last week after Culpeper's season had closed. All Season Long At least a dozen people in the audience objected, shaking their heads and insisting that illegal hunting has been a problem since the season opened. "We put up ^with it at first...We tried not \ cause trouble until it got so Abad that we had to do somenung." J. V. Woodward said As to tmt responsibility of landowners tW the behavior of guests to wfmtn they've given permission uVhunt. the question raised by Saltonstall and Dwyer. Baumgardner said he thought that would be a civil, rather than criminal, matter but agreed to research the issue. He acknowledged that it's against the law to trespass on posted property with the exception of unarmed hunters looking for their dogs, for trespass purposes, either oral or written notice must be given or property may be posted with signs. Baumgardner noted He pointed out that the law does not specify what the distance must be between signs. As a partial solution to Castleton's problem. Wood suggested that a deputy be assigned to that area during hunting season, adding that the presence of law en forcement officials would deter illegal hunting. l acks Personnel Generally, there is only one deputy on duty at a time tor the whole county, responded sheriff Buntin. maintaining that his staff si/e didn't allow for a man to be assigned to patrol ( astleion. He added that two extra game wardens transferred to Rappahannock for the last two weeks of the season had failed to control road hunting. In response to a question from supervisor Charles K. Estes. Buntin said his department wrote "very few" citations for hunting violatittos. "Most are for trespass." "Mavbe we could hire an Foreign & American Car Repairs Specializing in German & Japanese Made Cars_ Service Cente 30 \shbv Street Warrenton 347-37851 extra deputy for the game season," suggested supervisor Clarence Baldwin In support of the extra deputy, Henry noted that residents of the Castleton area "pay a big chunk of the county's real estate taxes." Most of that money goes to pay for public schools yet few of the landowners send children to those schools, he said, adding that they wanted "some return for the taxes." Baldwin, who operates a deer checking station at his grocery store, noted that most of the deer checked—at least toward the end of the season—were turned in by hunters from outside the countv. manv from as far away as Maryland. As noted earlier in the meeting by (apt. Keim. the Hampton District supervisor said that he'd also been (old by game officials that "saddle gun " laws prohibiting the carrying of loaded rilies and shotguns in motor vehicles are ineffective in deterring road hunting. "They just use automatic pistols instead. Baldwin said. Deer slain illegally by road hunters probably never pass through the checking stations, commented Wood. Mrs. Albert Hensley of Castleton interjected that three deer slain illegally on her property were just left lying in the field. Washington attorn e y David Konick. also a resident of C'astleton. said that a law prohibiting loaded rifles and shotguns in motor vehicles was "part of the solution" hut that the main thrust must come in changes to regulations that allow deer hunting w ith dogs and permit hunters to follow their animals onto posted property He suggested the supervisors meet with delegate Raymond R. "Andy" Guest. "He's real strong on wanting to work with local hoards on problems like this." Konick maintained that the solution to Rappahannock's hunting problems lies in Richmond. I just don't think it's something that can be handled right here." For the joint committee on hunting, Latham named (apt. keim as the representative from Jackson District Wood appointed Homer Henry and supervisor Hubert Gilkev named Jack Dwyer. Latham noted that a meeting will be scheduled with Guest and law en forcement personnel as soon as Lisles and Baldwin make their appointments. A woman in the audience suggested that this district's representative of the Game Commission. Dr Shepherd in Winchester, be invited as well. "That's a good idea, a fine idea." concluded Wood.
