Looked At Land, Not Landowners Equalization Work Sparks Controversy By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Kappnhannock Staff U rilcr “This county has had the distinction of having the lowest assessments in the state of Virginia...It was done with premeditation—you knew it. I knew it. everybody knew it,” Fred Forberg. director of the property tax division of the State Department of Taxation, recently told Rappahannock’s supervisors and Board Equalization. According to Forberg, the county’s practice of assessing land at far below its worth is the center of the storm of controversy which has raged ' around implementation of fair market value appraisals, a controversy that triggered last month's special meeting of the Board of Supervisors and Board of Equalization. “You’re going from one world to another world," said Forberg of the switch from old fractionalized assessments to fair market value. “Nobody else has had to go through that spectrum from alpha to omega...The real problem is that (the new assessments) are so much higher than they were before." "So mucher higher” is an understated description of the 1.600 percent rise in total property values assess which soared from $12,700 in 1981 u $207,813,670 (minus land use loss) in 1982. The 1981 figure reflects an assessment on what is estimated at 60 percent of fair market worth further discounted to 15 percent of that total. The 1982 figure is based on what is supposed to be 100 percent of market value, although Forberg said the actual numbers are closer to 78 percent, according to preliminary sales comparisons. Rappahannock's reassessment at fair market value was done by Jerry Hall, an appraiser with the State Department of Taxation who spent from April, 1980, to February, 1981, here putting new dollar values on land and buildings and then returned periodically to update his work before signing out on the land book last November. Marked By Controversy Since the start of this year, the local Board of Equalization, appointed by the circuit court, has been meeting to review and and equalize Hall's figures. From the outset, the efforts of the members — Herbert Barksdale, Thomas Williams, Eileen Day, Ed Bailey and Raymond Johnson—have provoked complaints, threats of legal action, challenges to the board's authority and charges of impropriety. But according to the State Department of Taxation and judging by the results in the tax book, the Equalization Board has played by the rules. Forberg agreed that some of the rules may need amending. “But if you’re dissatisfied, the place to change them is in Richmond," he advised. In addition, he acknowledged that at least one rule has been bent. He emphasized, however, that the mistake was both inadvertant and correctable. The error came on the day that the equalization process officially began and was the primary motivation behind the Equalization Board's request for a meeting with the supervisors. “We were informed last Friday that we were acting illegally, that our appointments were illegal and rather than continue our illegal activities in broad daylight...we quit right there," announced chairman Herbert Barksdale. "If you want us to dissolve, we will. But if you want us to continue, we want to work in peace." The question of legality centers on the timing of the appointments made by Judge Shore Robertson. The Virginia Code specifies that terms of Equalization Board members expire on December 31 of the year in which the appoints are made. Rappahannock’s Board of Equalization was scheduled to start work after January 1, 1982, with appointments to run until December 31st of that year. But members of the board were named by Judge Robertson and sworn into office in December, 1981, so under the law, their terms expired at the end of that same month although they didn't even begin meeting until January, 1982. "The question is intent," Forberg maintained,” The intent was to have the work done in 1982,” he said, adding that the issue of whether or not the Equalization Board has authority must be answered by the court. Robertson addressed that issue April 28th, entering a nunc pro tunc order which reaffirms the appointments of the Equalization Board members and validates the work they have done to date. Preferential Treatment? "There's another question that should be cleared up," Barksdale noted at the special meeting. “This has broken loose and gotten all over the county...There have been a lot of accusations that members of the Board of Equalization lowered the value of their own property and raised everybody elses. Well, we lowered a whole lot more property than we raised...If you hear any complaints, tell them to come in and look at the records to see what we've done,” the Equalization Board chairman suggested to the supervisors. The Rappahannock News did just that last week, pulling assessment records both at random and for members of the Equalization Board, other government officials and some of the larger landowners. Of a total of 36 pieces of property reviewed by the board on May 6, assessments were lowered on 20 and raised on 16. The same ratio applied to handfulls of alphabetized cards examined in a random sampling. “We lowered more than we raised.” said Barksdale in an interview last week. "It was about a 60-40 split," he said, meeting agreement from his fellow board members. In general, open land throughout the county is valued it $1,000 to $1,200 an acre and forest land between $600 and $800 an acre, according to the Equalization Board. They noted that per acre worth is set slightly lower for land in large tracts, a practice that Forberg said is proper. “If you look at sales, you'll see that a small piece of land will bring more per acre than a large tract." he noted. The assessed value is determined on the basis of the plat on record for a particular piece of property, Forberg added. "A large tract is evaluated as a large tract, not what its worth would be if it is divided into smaller parcels.” Supervisor chairman Dick Latham asked how appraisals are handled for separate but contiguous parcels under the same ownership. Consolidation Possible “They're valued separately but if you want them considered as one 1,000 acre parcel instead of ten 100 acre parcels, you can petition the Commissioner of Revenue to consolidate them.” He noted, however, that the Commissioner of Revenue has authority only to consolidate, not to change the values on the land. “She shouldn’t even consider changing the value...She has no authority to change the value at all." Once several small parcels are consolidated into a large tract, the action can be brought to the attention of the Board of Equalization with a request for reevaluation of the assessment on the property, he said. “If you find an injustice (in assessments) after the Board of Equalization has disbanded, you can petition (Continued on Page 3) —Rappahannock New* Photo/D.

In 1982-83 School Budget Pay Raises Cut To 7.5% , By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer With little discussion and no debate, the Rappahannock school board moved quickly at Tuesday's meeting to absorb $72,000 cut from the proposed 198283 school budget last week by the county s 7 rvisors, voting unanimously to accept recommendations on reductions made by superintendent Robert Estabrook. “I think you did a fine job in finding what you could without doing a great deal of damage,” said board member Nancy Reeves in reaction to Estabrook’s proposal. The bulk of the money—$34,051—was found in salaries for teachers and other school employees and the accompanying fixed charges for life insurance, social security and hospitalization. The supervisors recommended cutting pay raises from 8.5 percent to six percent but the school board accepted Estabrook’s compromise figure of 7.5 percent salary increases for the 1982-83 year. The second biggest chunk came in dropping one school bus replacement for a savings of $21,500. Transportation Tennis Time Approaches It’s that time of year again when Rappahannock tennis buffs start perfecting their serves, lobs and backhands in preparation for the annual county tennis tournament sponsored by the Rappahannock Recreation Association. This year’s categories include men and women’s singles (A and B division in women’s singles), men and women’s doubles, mixed doubles and junior singles. The tournament is open to all residents and landowners in Rappahannock, people who work in the county and students who attend school here. Entry fee is $3 per entry per person plus a new can of tennis balls for each entry. All entries and fees must be submitted by May 21 to Diane Bruce at the clerk’s office or Jean Lillard at the Flint Hill Store. Finals will be held June 25, 26 and 27. Play will be best two out of three -sets; in the event of a 6-6 set, a nine point tie breaker will determine the outcome. coordinator Jerry Lysik reported that the new bus will replace the oldest vehicle on line, bus number 14 which is a 1970 model. With the addition of the one vehicle in the 1982-83 budget, the oldest busses in the school fleet will be two 1972 models. Chairman Beverly Massie noted that the elimination of a second replacement bus from next year’s allocation will not jeopardize either the transportation service or the safety of students. New Position Kept In cutting $72,000 from the bottom line of the proposed budget, the supervisors also recommended elimination of the new position for director of special services. The school board instead dropped the salary for the slot from $20,000 to $18,000. Other categories where the $72,000 reduction was absorbed include: —$3,540 for summer janitorial help which will be obtained from the summer CETA program which the board had expected to be eliminated by federal budget cuts. Estabrook reported that CETA money for 30 positions in Rappahannock will be available. —$450 for July and August rent of the present school board offices. Until the new comination bus shop-office building is ready in August, central office personnel will be housed in the elementary school. —$1,800 from ordering a different model of photocopier than originally planned. —$1,344 from the salary of the high school principal, the reduction possible as the result of the recent demotion of 16-year veteran Dennis Wingfield to classroom teacher. —$3,500 from gasoline. —$1,000 from custodial supplies. — $ 1.400 through elimination of a vehicle for the new director of special services.

Clean-Up Days Set For Cemetery Washington’s Masons are planning a work day at the Masonic Cemetery just outside the town on May 20 and 21 and are looking for help from community residents in cleaning up plastic flowers and vases scatted over the grounds and in clearing brush and weeds. Several truck loads of artificial flowers have been dumped to one side of the cemetery that has now grown up in briar bushes and shrubs and must be removed, according to the Masons. Prices for family plots in the cemetery have been kept very low, too low to pay for hired help, so the effort depends on volunteer labor. The clean-up project will begin at 10 a.m. on Thursday, May 20. Local people interested in helping are asked to wear work clothes, bring pruning shears and saws and chain saws if possible. Families with relatives buried in the cemetery are also asked to cooperate in keeping the grounds orderly by refraining from using artificial flowers between May and October. The wire in these plastic flowers plays havoc with mowers, making it more difficult to maintain an appearance of loving care, according to Gibson Whorton, chairman of the Masonic Cemetery Committee. urt Grants Restraining Order On Thursday, May 6, Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson granted a temporary restraining order enjoining Carson Johnson from proceeding renovation work for an auto shop and storage business authorized last year by the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals. In May, 1981, immediately following the BZA’s issuance of a variance and special use permit for renovating the old bumed-out co-op building in Sperryville neighboring landowners filed suit to have the court review the BZA’s action. But the suit remained in the “pending” category and no steps towards resolving the issue were taken until Johnson obtained a building permit last week. Zoning administrator David Konick reported tha(t he issued the building permit even though legal action was pending, basing his decision on section 16-7-2 of the county’s zoning ordinance. The section provides for review of BZA decisions with the filing of a writ of certiorari with the circuit court. But Konick noted that the section also specifies that “allowance of the writ shalj not stay proceedings upon the decision appealed from, but the court may, on application, on notice to the board and on due cause shown, grant a restraining order." Request for review was filed May 22, 1981, by attorney George Davis on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schaefer. Louise Varner, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Alther and Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Dodson. Davis, one of the architects of Rappahannock’s zoning laws, maintains that the BZA’s granting of Johnson's variance and special use permit violates provisions of the flood plain district and provisions for nonconforming uses as well as standards set by the State Water Control Board. The suit alleges that the auto shop and storage business will work a substantial detriment on adjacent properties and will change and severely damage the character of the flood plain and adjacent residential business districts. The suit further charges that the BZA’s action to grant the variance and special use permit was (a) arbitrary and capricious, (b) vague and ambiguous, (c) without reasons or purpose for such determination and (d) an illegal exercise of legislative authority. Papers Filed by Davis maintain that the zoning board's decision “violates the integrity, purpose and intent of the ordinance and is shocking to the conscience of a reasonable person." In addition, Davis asks that the permit and variance be declared null and void and the BZA be required by the court to pay the cost of the legal proceedings instituted by his clients. The case is set for May 17 for the purpose of scheduling a trial date. — Rapfkahanrtork New* Phol»/T.

I don’t remember a thing in the world about the movie - it was shown from up there and we sat back here. "Anyway. 1 do remember that it caught on fire and smoke was pouring out of the machine and everyone was hollering “fire!” “I was not of school age at the time and 1 think I was the first one out of the door. I ran all the way up to what is now Skippy’s store. Everyone else put the fire out and mother began looking around for me and she couldn’t firid me and she asked around and somebody said, ‘Yes, I saw her going home and she had just passed Stuart’s store.’ “Well, mother left and brought me back and we watched the end of the movie but 1 got a real whipping when 1 got home because 1 wasn’t supposed to ever leave in a case like this. But 1 wasn’t going to be burned up in any fire. “Now, let’s see - the first TV 1 ever saw was in the old school building that’s closed now and a man brought that up from Rock Mills and charged 25 cents and we came all the way from home - drove five miles in a buggy to see the TV. “Well, it wasn’t much of a television. We couldn’t get any reception. I remember that when we turned it on a man in the audience yelled, “wild geese, wild geese!” It sounded exactly like wild geese going overhead. And we didn't see anything at all. “The next time 1 saw one it was in a private home. Old Professor Mitchell had one - everyone who taught school was called professor - and 1 well remember listening. Of course, it wasn’t good - the •eception was terrible. But I veil remember the first thing I heard: “Ulysses S. Grant vas a wonderful man-(click!) He put his hand in his bosom ind pulled out a ham bone (click!)” You see, they got two stations mixed up.” Mountain Time “People in the mountains and elsewhere marked time on the floor and they used a room where the sun came in at a certain time arid they could almost tell to the very dot what time it was.” Old Churches “More people came to church than do now and one of the real reasons was to visit. It was a great place to visit and hear a good sermon. During the revivals there were all-day dinners on the grounds in the summertime, and there were picnics. Food was brought from homes in ox-carts. “All churches seemed to be well-filled. In this town this was the Presbyterian church (the library) and it wasn’t open very often. Then we had the Episcopal church, the Baptist church, the Methodist church, and the free church on the edge of town. “We always had big Christmas entertainment. There were huge trees lit by candles—why we didn’t burn the place up I don’t know, but we always had somebody watch in case a candle fell over. They were just clipped on with a clip and if anyone saw one tip over there was someone to go with a long pole and put it out. "Everyone got an orange and a bag of candy. After a while we found out that so many people would just go to every church to get something to eat at each so we stopped having Christmas parties at each church and had one big party at one church. "People in Washington attended all churches. The churches were open morning and night so if you were in a town you went to whichever Pay Raises, Bus Cut (Continued from Page 1) —$1,451 from contracted services for buildings and grounds. At the start of Tuesday’s meeting, Rappahannock County Education Association representative Richard Smith asked the school board to return the 1982-83 budget to the supervisors without making adjustments to absorb the $72,000 cut from the bottom line. He described the projected spending for next year as "a minimal operating budget” with “no fat.” If the supervisors “choose to cut corners on our children’s future,” he said, then that board should have to bear responsibility for its actions. As the school board members later addressed the issue, chairman Massie described the job of accommodating budget cuts as a “distasteful task.” She sfud she understood the feelings ■ that, prompted the remarks by: the . RCEA “but t’s ! fruitless to return th» budget to the board of supervisors. ...They’ve already adopted the school budget as required by law.” Therefore, she maintained, the school board had no option but to make the necessary adjustments. +-+•++ ‘‘A free press can of course be good or bad, but most certainly without freedom it will never be anything but bad...Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better, whereas enslavement is a certainity of the worse.” —Albert Camus r :hurch was open at the time. I was educated in religion in ill of the churches.” Early Education "It’s remarkable - the old schools, the original schools ivhere our grandfathers and fathers went to school. They had teachers who were graduates of William and Mary or the University of Virginia and they’d come to these small towns to teach. We couldn't pay them any money. They stayed at somebody's house year-round and taught during the winter months. The school term was shorter: October to March. They were well-versed in Greek and Latin and math of all descriptions. It really was wonderful - the education people got in those days. And they had to walk miles - five miles, some as much as ten miles - to school and they thought nothinjg of it. “‘They had 50-60 children. One thing they had - they had helpers (children in upper grades) who would teach the younger children while they taught the older ones. “Education here ranged from full illiteracy to real learning. In 1933 the survey showed 132 females were illiterate: 3,970 were literate. Forty-nine percent could read and write at 5th grade level or below and thirteen percent could read above that level. “By Virginia law, an illiterate person who had less than $250.00 in property did not have to pay tax. Some of the mountain people were so illiterate that when they were moved off Skyline Drive some were coming for the first time to Sperryville schools. 1 got most of the new children in the fourth grade. There was a boy much taller than 1 was - 1 was 20 and he 15 - in my class.” Revenoors! “One day someone knocked on my door and when I came back from the door the children were all huddled in the corner like a flock of quail when the hawk has gone over. I asked them what was the matter and they said, ‘Revenoors, Revenoors!’ “So 1 told them they were safe from revenoors in school and I had someone knock on my door every day and a different child would go tc the door until they lost theii fear.” i—AmeriGas-i SHENGAS DIVISION 327 No Royal Ave. Front Royal, Va. 635-3556 L.

One, If over 30-35 a physical exam with an EKG is a good idea. Secondly, start out very gradually. Walk, for a distance then jog for a distance, making sure you walk or “cool down” before stopping. After these rules are followed then turn to thinking about your shoe wear. The running shoes of today are expensive but mostly they are worth the expense, Some have extremely excellent shock absorbtion qualities which will save much wear and tear on your feet and legs. Also they probably will last longer and be of more value in that sense. There are some shoes specifically designed for people with specific foot problems. Remember - Your feet must last a lifetime.

Volunteers Needed If you have suffered one heart attack within the past 4‘/j years, you may be eligible to participate in a study which lowers cholesterol to unprecedented levels. With heart disease claiming 800,000 lives annually, the National Institutes of Health is funding four research centers across the country to explore the role of lowered cholesterol in the treatment of heart attack victims. The aim of researchers is to find conclusive evidence that maximal reduction of this fatty substance will significantly reduce the risk of heart disease. The East Coast Center is located in Philadelphia. The center covers transportation and lodging costs for all prospective participants and an interested family member to come in for a screening visit. Persons age 30 through 64 who have suffered a heart attack within the last 4‘/i years are urged to contact the Hyperlipidemia Study for more information. Call, tollfree 1-800-362-5244 (Pennsylvania only) and out-ofstate 1-800-345-1057. The study works closely with each participant's personal physician. Assessment Controversy (Continued from Page 1) the court to order you to change the value,” Forberg told Rappahannock's commissioner of the Revenue Merle Scoggins. Reviewed Own Asaeaaments A check of the records shows that the members of the Board of Equalization did indeed lower assessments on properties they own. But they raised assessments as well and the values they set on their land reflect the general worth attached to similar parcels throughout the county. In addition, Scoggins, who sat in on the majority of the board’s meetings, reported that the individual board member whose property was under consideration did not participate in either the discussion or the vote on assessment. The following changes were made tc assessments on property belonging to members of the Equalization Board: —Thomas V. Williams;' 60.76 acres of pasture-forest raised from $800 to $1,000 an acre; 70 acres of which six are in pasture raised from $400 to $1,200 an acre and 64 acres in pastured lowered from $1,600 to $1,200; 22.78 acres of pasture lowered from $2,000 to $1.000 an acre. —Eileen Day; 26 acres of forest and mountain land raised from $400 to $600 an acre; 58.92 acres of forest originally assessed as pasture at $1,500 an acre lowered to $600 while ten acres of pasture in the same tract kept at $1,500 an acre; 176.22 acres of pasture and forest lowered from $1,000 to $700 per acre. —Raymond Johnson; wood frame dwelling lowered from $63,200 to $43,300 to correct error in over-calculation of square footage, 1.42 acre lot kept at $4,500. —Herbert Barksdale; 176 acres of mountain land'icept at $800 an acre but total assessment lowered from $400,000 to $140,800 to correct miscalculation on acreage (originally assessed as a 500 acre tract when Barksdale owns only 176 acres); 17.06 acres of pasture landlocked with no right-ofway reduced from $1,400 to $1,000 an acre, four room wood frame dwelling on the parcel reduced from $16,140 to $10,080; 2.10 acres landlocked with no right-of-way reduced from $1,800 to $1,000 an acre; tenant house to rear of 14 room, two-story dwelling reduced to bring total assessment on one acre lot and improvements down from $71,500 to $66,380; 22.78 acres of pasture and forest with small amount of road frontage reduced from $1,400 to $1,000 an acre; 82.37 acres of pasture kept at $1,200. —Ed Bailey; six-room, wood frame building dropped from $50,900 to $46,900 and two acre lot from $5,000 to $3,000 an acre; 3.44 acre unimproved lot lowered from $2,500 an acre to $2,000. Supervisor* Satisfied "Are we doing our job satisfactorily as far as the supervisors are concerned?” Barksdale asked at last month’s special meeting. “On the basis of what I’ve looked at, I think you're doing a good job,” chairman Latham replied. Judging from the tax records on file in the Commissioner of Revenue's office, assessments on property held by the supervisors parallel adjustments made by the Equalization Board on other properties. Appraisal on 216.48 acres of pasture belonging to Latham was raised from $800 to $1,000 an acre while 45 acres of forest land remained at $600 an acre. Assessments on Clarence Baldwin’s, Hubert Gilkey’s and Charles Estes’ property remain unchanged from fair market value set initially by appraiser Jerry Hall. Value set by Hall on eight parcels belonging to H. B. Joe Williams Chester Gap, Va. GENERAL CONTRACTOR New homes, Remodeling, Restoration, Custom Cabinets, Additions, Etc. “«UAUTY LEAVES MO REGRETS” 703435*6903 Va. Class A Lleanss #17677 Wood were unchanged as well. Assessment on 152 acres and a dwelling belonging to Wood was lowered from $114,200 to $107,100 with the land dropped from $97,400 to $86,100 and the wood frame building raised from $16,800 to $21,000. A 7.24 acre parcel of pasture land was lowered from $2,500 an acre to $1,200 and a 15 acre piece of orchard was raised from $850 to $1,000 an acre. Another 25 acres of pasture and orchard was reduced from $1,600 an acre to $1,200 and the value of 41 acres of forest was lowereed from $700 to $600 an acre. Forberg Satisfied “What about the values as a whole?” asked Williams. “We’ve had complaints that we’re putting too much on the land. Should they be lower?” ‘‘The sales ratio (of assessments to actual fair market value as measured by sales) is now about 78 or 79 percent so you don’t really have much of a margin,” said ^Forberg, pointing out that the sales ratio must be kept at or above 70 percent. “If you don’t come up with a 70 percent sales ratio, we (the State Department of Taxation) are going to sit on your liquor money (funds alloted to localities by the Mate ftDt uoara; ana we re going to charge you interest on it...We’re going to judge you based on the (sales) information sent us by the clerk of the court and we're going to compare that with the land book.” But at the same time, Forberg expressed confidence that the assessment work done by both Hall and the Board of Equalization will pass muster. “I haven’t seen anything in this county that I think is unreasonable...I'm satisfied that what we’ve got now is reasonable.” Eileen Day noted that the Equalization Board has received several complaints from people concerned about the impact fair market value assessments will have on inheritance taxes. “There was nothing in our instructions (during training by State Department of Taxation personnel) that says we could consider that...Inheritance taxes don't have anything to do with market value.” She added that large landowners who farm, the element voicing the most concern over inheritance taxes, qualify for inheritance tax breaks under new federal regulations by maintaining the inherited property in farming for a specified period. “These threats of a suit—if we’ve done the job of equalizing property assessments to the best of our ability, what could be the basis for a suit?” asked Williams. “Only malfeasance or misfeasance,’’ Forberg answered. "What do you mean by that?” countered Williams. “That you’ve been a crook!” Forberg pointed out that the law assumes appraiser Jerry Hall’s figures are accurate. “The burden of proof is on the petitioners to prove that you’ve done wrong (in adjusting those figures),” he told the Equalization Board members. Forberg added that in his 35 years in tax work in Virginia, he knows of no legal action challenging the propriety of an assessor or an Equalization Board. “If you face any litigation. I expect you to have a supeona served on me,” he said, noting that he’s worked closely with both Hall and the board during the entire assessment and equalization process. Notice Questioned Bill Fletcher, who first raised the issue of the legality of the appointments to the Equalization Board, questioned whether requirements for notice to landowners of changes in assessments have been met. The Sperryville attorney maintained that the Board of Equalization is actually reassessing when it adjusts the value on a piece of property and must therefore give the property owner the same 15 days notice required for a standard reassessment to allow individuals an opportunity to protest. “Reassessment is not a function of the Equalization Board...Changes they make are equalizations, not reassessments," Forberg replied. “That piont could be questioned and if the court rules...you could be in trouble,” countered Fletcher. Forberg noted that the Equalization Board has sent our notices of all changes in assessment—either up or down—following procedures set by the State Department of Taxation and using the forms supplied by that office. “There’s nothing to prevent a landowner from protesting and questioning us after we make a change,” added Day. “We have revised our decisions on the basis of some of those appeals.” tsut me notices ot change don’t note that landowners have the right to appeal, Fletcher argued, pointing out that the Equalization Board has reviewed assessments on property and changed appraised value without being requested to do so by the property owner. “I feel we’ve complied with the law," Barksdale responded. While landowners may not have requested review, a neighbor might have, he said. "If we make a change, we send out a notice and the landowner can appeal. If he’s unhappy, we’ll hear from him." “You can hear from him in one or two ways...He can appeal to the circuit court but there are many people who may not want to go to that expense,” Fletcher said. "Why would they think that the circuit court is the only way to go (with an appeal) when they haven’t tried the Board of Equalization?” Day asked. Attorney General’s Opinion Noting that the Equalization Board serves until the end of the year, Forberg suggested asking the Attorney General for clarification on the notice the board must give if it makes changes in assessments. “The Virginia Supreme Court has rules that an opinon from the Attorney General is just an opinion—it’s no more valid than the opinion of anyone sitting around this table.'' Fletcher argued. “I think the Attorney General’s opinion has a little more authority than mine." replied Barksdale. “It’s worth its weight in gold until someone proves it’s wrong in a court of law," Forberg added. At the request of the supervisors, clerk Diane Bruce has written for the opinion suggested by Forberg. To date, no reply has been received. Asked in an interview last week how the Equalization Board decided which assessments to review when there was no request from the landowner, Barksdale noted that adjoining properties are looked at each time an assessment complaint is received. “It’s just like with a grand jury—if you know of anything that’s gone wrong, you’re supposed to report it," Williams added. “It’s our duty to equalize and to do that, we have to look at the values of other properties, whether the owners asked for it or not." Barksdale emphasized. “A fellow who thinks his assessment is to high compared to his neighbor’s and comes in to complain exposes those that are too low,” added Williams.

Inc Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, MAY 13,1982 Alcohol Too Concerned parents, youth leaders, law enforcement representatives and other interested county residents met with school superintendent Robert Estabrook last week to brainstorm ways of attacking the problems of drug abuse by Rappahannock's young people. We applaud the superintendent s involvement in the safety and wellbeing of our youngsters. Drugs are a problem here just as they are in every other community across America and to think otherwise would be playing the preverbial ostrich with its head in the sand. But in attacking the dilemma of drug abuse, we hope that the people who plan to make the effort an on-going one don’t lose sight of the most dangerously abused drug of them all — alcohol. Recent national surveys show that for the first time in years, marijuana use among young people is declining. While that may be cause for celebration, the surveys show that alcohol consumption among teenagers is on the rise and alarmingly so. According to an article in the May 5 edition of the Washington Post, both national and local surveys indicate that about 93 percent of all youngsters 12 to 17 years of age use alcohol to some degree. In the article, the coordinator of substance abuse prevention for the Fairfax County School system reports that 41 percent of all high school students admitted to having drunk five or more drinks at one time in the two weeks before a survey, making them intoxicated under the legal definition of the term. The experts blame the increased consumption of alcohol by adolescents on its easy availability and social acceptance. As part of Rappahannock’s drug abuse program, we need to get the message across loud and clear that teenage drinking is not socially acceptable. We need to educate youngsters, beginning at an early age, on the health problems posed by overconsumption of alcohol. We need to educate the parents who react with “Oh, thank God he’s not smoking dope” when they discover that their teenage son is drunk. And we need to educate store owners who are doing a sloppy job of policing sales of alcoholic beverages to minors. In the concern over marijuana, amphetimines, barbituates, cocain and the long list of other substances abused by young people, we hope the very real problem of teenage alcoholism isn’t overlooked. This Was The News In Bygone Rappahannock Times... 32 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS SHERIFF James Marshall Lilia rd died of a sudden heart attack at his home in Washington.

As expected, our fine and capable Congressman, J. Kenneth Robinson, was renominated and unanimously elected to be our Republican candidate this November to the House of Representatives. What was not expected were some facts and figures we heard that I think should be brought to your attention and may be of interest to your readers. Dinner A Success To the editor: The Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department’s Ladies Auxiliary wishes to thank each and every person who supported our dinners and gave donations of their time. They have made it possible for us to report another successful dinner; this one on May 8th, from which all proceeds will go entirely to the Fire Department. The door prize given away at the dinner went to Steve Wiley of Sperryville. The country ham was awarded to Randolph Clater of Sperryville and Mother’s Day, cake to W. C. Johnson of Woodville. Again, we thank you all and look forward to seeing you when we resume our monthly dinners in the early fall. MARIE ATKINS President Sperryville Ladies Auxiliary During the keynote address by the Hon. Wyatt B. Durrette, I was astonished to hear him quote the following remarks from an interview given to the Richmond News Leader by Secretary Richard S. Schweiker of the Department of Health and Human Resources: Secretary Schweiker had reported that his budget will be increased by 20 Billion (that’s “B” as in "BIG”) Dollars, making it the THIRD largest budget in the WORLD, with only the entire budgets of the Soviet Union and the United States being larger! He, Secretary Schweiker, also said that the amount budgeted for Health and Human Resources is 56 Billion (again the big “B”) Dollars greater than the Department of Defense budget! Why do we never hear these figures on the Washington and National radio and television stations, nor read them in the Washington Post? They report only how badly this administration is treating the poor, aged and disabled, and how these people must bear the cost of building up our defense. Perhaps we should look more carefully at the facts before we blindly accept the veracity of such biased reporting. TINY CARNEY Poetic Protest lo tne editor: I’m compelled to sit and write here on the issues of today, ’cause I’ve found that keeping silent won’t make ’em go away. This letter is directed to all of you out there who are making our decisions and showing that “you care.” The people of this country are shown they hav; a voice, ’cause you always listen gladly before you make a choice. We can see it in the schoolroom (perhaps above the rest) ’cause you’re always out there trying to see we have the best. The teachers are outstanding, and just to see they’ll stay, you reward them for their loyalty and seduce them with their pay. Our children are our future, now there's a happy thought; ’cause years from now we’ll all sit back and see what they’ve been taught. They say you reap just what you sow; if what they say is true, let’s hope you’re here to profit from the harvest that you’re due. It’s time to end my “letter” now, and lay aside my pen.

The program will serve approximately 150 economically disadvantaged youth between the ages of fourteen and twenty-one during the summer months. Youths may work 30-37.5 hours per week during the enrollment period June 21 through August 20, 1982. Worksites for the fivecounty program will include public and private non-profit organizations such as area public elementary and high schools, county health departments, public libraries, town and county office facilities, Vint Hill Farm Station, PD-9 Commission, county maintenance departments and other nonprofit facilities. Worksites which have participated in previous years should have received a letter offering positions through SYEP. All public and private non-profit organizations interested in providing youths a valuable work experience are encouraged to contact the office at (703) 347-7018. The program is designed to serve drop-outs, high school graduates as well as college students. A primary goal of the SYEP is that oarticipants return to school or complete educational requirements.

S. Senate campaign of Del. Owen Pickett of Virginia Beach came crashing down last week. Its final collapse was the result of two major factors. The first was- the unprecedented pressure applied by state Sen. Douglas Wilder of Richmond, who was so infuriated by Del. Pickett's conservatism that he threatened to oppose him as an independent candidate. The second was Del. Pickett’s astonishing ineptness as a campaigner. As he travelled about the state in search of support, he left behind him instead a very nearly unbroken trail jf disappointed and turned ?n auuiences. As the week began, with Del. Pickett’s campaign coffers almost empty and with Sen. Wilder about to declare his candidacy—a move which would wreck the chances of the Democratic nominee—Gov. Charles S. Robb and other party leaders prevailed upon Del. Pickett to throw in the towel and withdraw from the race. The day after he did so, Sen. Wilder abandoned his independent candidacy threat. There were, to be sure, other considerations involved in Sen. Wilder’s decision. A few days before. Gov. Robb had addressed the graduating class of the predominantly black Virginia Union University. In his speech, the governor included an eloquent statement of his and his administration’s commitment to addressing problems of black concern. He also came down hard on those who still harbor segregationist sentiments. The message was clearly not lost on Sen. Wilder, and the Richmond senator reacted as Gov. Robb undoubtedly hoped he would. Package Deal Indeed, some Capitol observers suggested that the speech may have been part of a package deal put forward as part of the effort to persuade Sen. Wilder not to run. Whatever its genesis, the net result was a clear victory for Sen. Wilder, and with both men out of the race, the Democrat’s immediate crisis was over. But another one lies dead ahead. With the party’s state convention less than a month away, the Democrats find themselves back on square one with respect to finding a candidate. At a news conference two weeks ago. Gov. Robb said the party suffered from an embarrassment of riches in its number of potential senatorial nominees. This might be literally true so far as numbers go, but the field of potential winning senatorial nominees would appear to be rather more sparcely populated. For any Democratic candidate to have a chance of defeating First District Congressman Paul Trible, the presumptive GOP standard bearer, a coalition similar to that which elected Gov. Robb last year will have to be reconstructed. This means bringing the black, liberal and labor Democratic constituent groups under the same broad umbrella with party moderates and conservatives along with the members of the famed independent Main Street conservative coalition. The last is vital because of the financial backing the members can provide. Funds Draining The trick is to do all this, and do it quickly, before most of the campaign dollars drain away to Rep. Trible by default, and the draining process is already underway. The key, of course, is the candidate. If a suitable one can be found, in spite of the threatened black and libera! defections when it appeared Sen. Wilder might run, those in the party’s liberal wing will probably come home and support the Democrat. But Gov. Robb's successful effort to contain the Wilder rebellion could backfire dangerously among the conservatives. In his determination to reassure the defecting blacks. he may have positioned himself considerably farther to the left than many of the party's right, as vyell as the independent conservatives, will Find acceptable. Thus, while solving one problem, he may have created another which is potentially as serious. Choice Critical The choice of the candidate, therefore, becomes critically important. It will have to be a person who either already has statewide stature, or has the ability to develop such stature in the short six months remaining before the election. Beyond that, it will have to be a person of sufficient philosophical breadth and flexibility to reassure one wing of the party without frightening the other out of its wits As the week ended, rumors around the Capitol had it that the seareh tor such a candidate was not being limited to the state's political establishment. Dr. William Lavery. president of VP1&SU and Dr. Ronald Carrier, president of James Madison University were two names being mentioned as possible senatorial material. Others will no doubt appear in the days ahead. The hope is to find a man or woman who will receive the enthusiastic blessing of both Sen. Wilder and the Main Street Coalition. If such a living and breathing common denominator really1 exists and can be found—and if he or she kno^s how to perform reasonably well as a political candidate—the Democrats may vet recover from their 1982 version of Pickett’s charge. Caterpillar Watch Spring is the season when Virginians find themselves coping with insects that are intent upon defoliating trees and plants. This spring is no exception, according to John Tate, Biological Control Supervisor for the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. According to Tate, there are three tree defoliating pests to be aware of this time of year. The most common of the three is the Eastern Tent Caterpillar, which is on the verge of hitting its peak for the season. This caterpillar devours foliage of many landscape and forest trees but is particularly fond of the wild cherry trees. Its main characteristic is that it forms a web or tent-like structure in trees, hence the name tent caterpillar. Tate recommends spraying Sevin or any other pesticide registered for that use, on trees infested with Eastern Tent Caterpillar. Another serious plant pest that is making an appearance this season is the Spring Canker Worm. This caterpillar is about l-l'/i inches long, is either green or brown and has white stripes. Sometimes this caterpillar is seen hanging from trees by a slender, web-like thread. The Spring Canker Worm is a serious forest pest that can also be controlled by spraying with Sevin. A serious insect pest that is moving into the northern part of the state is the gypsy moth. This insect, in its caterpillar stage, is not to be contused with the tent caterpillar. To identify this caterpillar, look for the five pairs of blue dots and six pairs of red dots on the insect’s back. This caterpillar has the potential to destroy millions of dollars worth of timberland in our state. Any sightings of a gypsy moth caterpillar should be reported immediately to the nearest VDACS Plant Pest Section regional office, (or to the Richmond office 804-7863515), the county forester, or the County {^tension Agent. If you discover the Eastern Tent Caterpillar or the Spring Canker Worm around your home and you decide to spray, please be sure to read all the directions carefully and store pesticides away from children and pets. If you have any questions about pesticides or their application, contact the VDACS Paint, Pesticide and Hazardous Substances Section, 1100 Bank Street. Richmond, VA 23219 or call (804) 786-3798 or your local Extension Agent.

May Madness For Girl Scouts Girl Scouts and Brownies from troops throughout the county explored the World of Water at their second annual May Madness Camporee over the Mother’s Day weekend, at the Howard Holschuhs’ Shaw House near Castleton. About 60 girls from four Brownie troops, four Junior troops, one Cadette troop and one senior troop participated in the two-night campout. As their gift to the people of the county, the girls picked up trash along part of the Thornton River in Sperryville, along part of the Gid Brown Hollow road, and along part of the Covington River at Rediviva. A large pick-up truck load of trash bags was carried off to the county dumpsters following about an hour and a half's work in the rain Saturday morning. In the afternoon the girls observed the life forms in a small pond, collecting, examining and returning everything from small water bugs and frog and fish eggs to a large bull-frog tadpole. They learned about the role mills played in the settlement and development of the county and located the old mill stone from the washedaway mill at Rock Mills. They also tested their physical fitness on a trail on the Holschuhs’ land that involved knee bends and chin-ups in between scrambling up and down hills and across wooden plank bridges over creeks for about one-and-a-half miles. Best times over the course were recorded for Kyle VanWegen for the Brownies, Teressa Jenkins for the Juniors. Jane Kidwell for the Cadettes, and Debbie Helmer tor the Seniors. Carolyn Man waring and Cindy Pronovitch tied for the leaders best time. The girls also experimented with mixing plaster of Paris and water to create recipe-card holders for their mothers for Mothers’ Day. Wendy Stringfellow, a cadette. was chosen best allaround camper of the weekend. The highlight of the weekend was the bridging and fly-up ceremony around the campfire Saturday night.

Rapp Drops Soccer Game Handicapped by missing players, Rappahannock’s soccer team was edged out by Red Carpet-Sentry, 3-2, in Fauquier’s junior high league competition at Taylor Junior High in Warrenton last Saturday. Eight Rappahannock players took the field against a full contingent of 11 plus substitutes representing Red Carpet but despite that disadvantage, Aaron Schumaker scored the only goal in the first half on a penalty shot to put Rappahannock in front, 1-0. Stymied by aggressive defense by James Dennis, Jim McCullough and Jon McCullough, Red Carpet couldn't manage a score until early in the second half. Then Schumaker came right back with another tally on an assist from Doug McCabe to retake the lead, 2-1. But the strain of playing undermanned slowed down the Rappahannock contingent and Red Carpet booted two goals in the closing minutes, the last coming with only a minute and half left in the game. The lost puts the team, sponsored by Natures Foods and Cafe, 3-1 for the season. The Panthers’ next game will be at Greene County on Thursday night. Their first home contest will be Tuesday, May 19, at 6 p.m. Community support would be greatly appreciated.

East St. Culpeper, Virginia 825-1755 Ten Go To State From Rappahannock Ten Panthers will advance to the state track meet at Radford High School in Salem on the basis of qualifying performances turned in at last weekend’s regional competition. Rappahannock’s boys amassed 39 points for a strong fifth place finish out of 14 schools at Fluvanna on Saturday. “We’re so pleased with the boys. They've never done this well before,’’ reported coach Ann Spieker. RCHS took two red ribbons in the boys Group A, Region B finals with Eugene Grigsby's second place in the 220 yard dash in 23 seconds and Doyle Dunn’s leap of 6'1” for second in the high jump. Grigsby added a qualifying fourth place finish of 10.4 seconds in the 100 yard dash. Then, along with Jeff Porter, Carl Frye and Edward Summers, Grigsby helped the 880 relay team to the state finals in 1:37.4 for fourth place. Frye will join contestants in the high jump at the state meet, qualifying with a sixth place leap of 5’10”. Also competing in the field events will be Tim Williams on the basis of his throw of 43’8” for fourth in the shot put at the regionals. Scott Keithley will represent Rappahannock in the distance races, clocked at 4:37.1 for third in the mile and 10:21.2 for fourth in the two mile run.

The speedy contingent from RCHS also qualified in the 440 relay by taking third in 52.3 seconds. Porter soared to second in the high jump with a leap, of 4’8" and then raced to sixth place in the 220 yard dash in 27.3.

A Foxhunter’s Tribute By MARY JAMIESON Rappahannock N«*w» S|>ccial Writer John Newman (Ollie) Dodson, 66 years of age, Huntsman for Rappahannock's Master of Foxhounds James W. Fletcher from 1957-1966, died May 7, 1982, when a tractor turned over with hitn. During the hearty, spontaneous years while Ollie handled hounds, Rappahannock hunted vigorously whenever the spirit moved, and—as those of us knew who followed Ollie Dodson on his courageous old steeplechaser, Benton Boy, and Master Jim Bill Fletcher on his indomitable grey Katie—the spirit could move almost anytime of day or night! In an uncanny way both Master and Huntsman sensed prime times simultaneously. Then when hounds struck, they led us tearing up steep hillsides. plummeting down mountains, often pathless, and over everything or anything in the way of pursuit of the fox. Thosp were heady chases trying to follow the small, fast Bywaters-Walker type hounds, and the two mountain-bred men. Master and Huntsman who had known each other since Jim Bill Fletcher was 4 and Ollie Dodson was 7 years old. They both understood their country as well as they understood their own names, for they had played on, farmed in. and hunted their Blue Ridge mountains over many, many years together. The slim, lithe figure of Huntsman Ollie Dodson on Benton Boy, cheering hounds with his deep-throated cow horn, rides in all of our memories of those zesty Rappahannock foxhunting seasons during the late fifties and sixties. Assessment Review (Continued from Page 3) This was the case with holdings on Route 729, an area that had the largest concentration of upward adjustments, according to the Equalization Board members. Traditionally, the large farms along that raod from Flint Hill to the Castleton vicinity have included some of the most undervalued acres in the county and efforts to equalize assessments there have provoked some of the loudest protests, the board members indicated. Travel Up Vehicles registered out-ofstate led the way as travel on Virginia’s major highways increased by almost two per cent in March over the same month a year ago, according to the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation. 1 ravel on the state’s major highways was up 1.8 per cent over March, 1981, with outof-state vehicles showing a 7.4 per cent increase. Travel by all passenger vehicles on the interstate, primary, and arterial highways showed an increase of 2.4 per cent over the same month of a year ago. Virginia passenger vehicle travel increased by 2 per cent over March, 1981. Bus and truck traffic was up 0.5 per cent, compared to March of the preceding year. It was the first time since November, 1981, that commercial traffic had shown an increase. The statistics for travel were compiled from counts taken at 265 locations on the interstate, primary, and arterial systems, according to A. L. Thomas, Jr., the department’s traffic and safety engineer. “That word 'equal' has caused more trouble!” Williams said. “It’s because people in Rappahannock have never been equal,” Bailey added. “For the first time, I feel like I’ve done something to help Rappahannock County," Williams stated. “This board has treated everybody equally. We haven’t shown any favoritism.” A member on earlier Boards of Assessors, Williams acknowledged that in the past in setting land values, assessors took into consideration whether a landowner was "getting along in years,’’ whether the landowner had children in school, whether he'd had a bad year in farming, whether the landowner was a cousin, aunt or some other distant relation. “This time, none of that made a damn bit of difference,” Williams said, emphasizing that the board had looked only at the land and not at who owned it. “I think we've done a good job,” agreed Raymond Johnson. “I haven’t lost a minute’s sleep over any decisions we’ve made.” “I can sleep at night,” Barksdale concluded.

The new program is part of the Veterans’ Disability Compensation, Housing, and Memorial Benefits Amendments passed by Congress last year. Under the GPM, monthly payments are lower for the first few years than the corresponding monthly payments on a traditional mortgage for the same amount. In a GPM mortgage. a portion of the interest due on the loan each month is deferred and added to the principal balance of the loan. After a set number of years, the payments become a constant amount for the duration of the loan. From that point, each scheduled loan payment includes all of the interest due plus a portion of the principal, as in a traditional mortgage. The VA will guarantee only those GPMs which feature annual payment increases of 7.5 percent, implemented on each annual anniversary date of the loan, for the fust five years. f I counw mo/ic/ ROBERT METCALFE GENERAL CONTRACTOR New Homes Cabins Additions Remodeling Box 147 Flint HHI.Vs. 703*675*3897 Va.
