SAVrUb The County Family Newspaper Since 1877 33rd YEAR, NO. 14 USPS 455580 10 Pages WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA Phone 675-3349 Supervisors Reaffirm Land Use, Enact 5th Ag District By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Raiipahannock News Staff Writer “It’s not that significant,” concluded E. P. Luke, of the financial impact use value taxation has had on the county’s tax base. Luke, former chairman of the Rappahannock board and a vocal opponent of land use when the preferential assessment program was adopted two years ago, reported to the supervisors on the results of a study he had conducted in the past month on land use. The survey presented at Monday’s board meeting covered properties in Rappahannock’s four existing Agricultural and Forestal Districts which qualify for assessment at use value as opposed to fair market value. At fair market value, taxes on land in approved districts would have amounted to $22,011 this year. At use value, tax bills totalted $6,994, a 68 percent reduction, Luke noted. “That’s about a penny on the tax rate.” In Rappahannock’s ag districts, 38 percent of the land falls in the category of forest land, 60 percent is classified as pasture land and two percent as orchards, Luke said. Land use taxation is currently available to qualifying properties in an ag district (which must be comprised of a minimum of 500 acres) and through the county’s general use value taxation program (which sets minimum parcel size of ten acres for agricultural, horticultural and open space land and 25 acres for forest land). General use value taxation is a local option and the supervisors can elect to eliminate forest land as an eligible category, he noted. But forest land in all Agricultural and Forestal Districts will still qualify for the preferential assessment, Luke said, even if that category is dropped from the general use value program. A special state committee sets the per acre use values for the different types of land based on soil classifications, he continued. At present, those values are $620 for cropland II, $470 for cropland III, $380 for pasture IV, $280 for pasture V, $200 for forest. Those state recommended assessment figures can be changed by the supervisors but only in the year that the county is scheduled for a re-assessment, the former supervisor chairman emphasized. Financial Problem While describing the $15,000 in taxes deferred this year through the use value program in ag districts as insignificant, Luke still maintained that the county has a “financial problem.” Currently, Rappahannock has on file land use applications for property with a total fair market value of $2.9 million, he reported. In 1980, the supervisors dropped the local levy from farm machinery and livestock, removing a total value of $5,530,260 from the tax rolls, Luke said. That coupled with land use will result in a tax burden shift of $152,288 onto houses and property not eligible for preferential assessment, he computed. Supervisor H. B. Wood pointed out that in 1980, the board had also discontinued local taxes on personal property and merchants capital which contributed to that shift. “That might not amount to much money but it’s important in showing what’s fair and what’s unfair,” Supervisor Clarence Baldwin added. “Nobody turned in livestock or personal property fiarly,” Wood said, in explanation of the discontinuance of local taxes in those two categories. Is It Affordable? Asked if he was for or against land use taxation, Luke replied “all of this is fine as long as it’s affordable.” He pointed to upcoming expenses for jail renovation, school improvements, acquisition of a landfill site and a re-assessment. “Personally, I’m for land use and personally, I’m for Agricultural and Forestal Districts but the people of this county are going to have to foot the bill.” According to Luke, Rappahannock taxpayers total 3,185. Three hundred and ten of that number are currently receiving use value taxation on 821 separate tracts of land while 4,177 tracts are not getting a preferential assessment, either through an ag district or the general use value program. He gave the number of farmers in the county as 266, (Continued on Page 3) Bids Authorized For Jail “It’s costing money everytime we delay,” said Supervisor Chairman J.R. Latham as the Rappahannock board agreed on Monday to put jail renovations out for bid. The sheriff’s department has been forced to beg jail space from Shenandoah to Charlottesville since March, 1982, when Fauquier announced that Rappahannock prisoners could no longer be housed there due to overcrowding. Plans were finally approved last month by the State Department of Corrections for upgrading the county’s current 24-hour lock-up facility to full jail status. Reimbursement for half the estimated $163,000 cost was initially included in the state budget but later eliminated in accordance with spending cuts ordered by Governor Charles Robb. The $82,500 for the Rappahannock project was again added, this February following approval by the General Assembly of Delegate Raymond R. “Andy” Guest’s supplemental appropriations request. “Is the state money nailed down?” asked Robert Eastham at Monday’s board meeting. “It’s nailed down unless the governor’s going to veto the apprpriations bill,” Com monwealth’s Attorney Douglas Baumgardner replied, offering to check on the status of the money. Baumgardner also assured the supervisors that they have the authority to use funds in the current county budget to cover the local half of the renovation expenses. “I’d like to see it go out to bid. It’s been almost a year,” said Supervisor Hubert Gilkey, adding that the county is obligated to improve its jail facilities whether state reimbursement is forthcoming or not. “Besides, we don’t have to accept any of the bids. We can always say, ‘Gee, we don’t have the money.’” The board voted unanimously to advertise the renovation for bids. Baumgardner reported on Tuesday that, according to the staff counsel to the Senate Finance Committee, Governor Robb has sent back 37 appropriations items with comments or vetos. “But none pertain to the Rappahannock County jail. . . Technically, the governor won’t sign the appropriations bill for two weeks but (the county’s $82,500 reimbursement for half the renovation cost) “is as good as being set in concrete,” he said. Still at issue is whether the jail will have a sprinkler system in the cell blocks. The Department of Corrections has approved the elimination but only with authorization from the local building inspector. Under an agreement with Fauquier County, its building official does the actual inspecting here while local Zoning Administrator David Konick administers Rappahannock’s building inspection program. Konick told the supervisors that Fauquier’s inspector wrote him that he wouldn’t approve the sprinkler elimination, overruling the move that could cut $40,000 from renovation costs. But Konick added that, according to architect Hunter Spencer, Fauquier’s inspector didn’t tell him no; just that he “would rather have the sprinklers.” Gilkey volunteered to meet with the architect, Konick and the Fauquier inspector to explain that there’s nothing in the cell block that can catfch fire except the prisoners and matresses and that the town of Washington’s water system is inadequate to supply the sprinklers. As an alternative to the sprinkler system, a requirement of the state building code, the board is proposing installation of hoses and smoke detectors. WITHOUT A SINGLE MISSTEP, Justin Seale crosses the one-board ‘ ‘ bridge ’ ’ and stretched across the Rose River.

School Budget Adds $50,157 to County Share By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock Newt Stall Writer The 1983-84 Rappahannock County School operating budget as presented to the county board of supervisors Monday requests $50,157 more from county funds than was appropriated last year. Superintendent Robert Estrabrook pointed out in his written submission to the board that $03,000 of that amount - for completion of the bus shop/school board office - will not be appropriated as new money but rather as savings in the present budget to be transferred to the new budget. The net effect of that projected savings and transfer, explained the superintendent, would be a county share for next year of $12,843 less than its share for the current school year. If approved as it stands with no other adjustments in the county budget, the proposal would add almost two and one-half cents to the county tax rate. One cent on the rate generates approximately $21,000. But with the superintendent’s projected savings of $12,843, the county’s share would drop almost one-half cent. The total budget figure of $2,5(14,862 includes a seven-percent increase for all teachers, administrators and maintenance employees. For the teachers, the adoption of the index salary scale means that the increase will be distributed unevenly throughout the instructional staff: the principals, the superintendent, his assistant and other school employees will get a seven-percent increase. This increase, reduced by the board from the eleven percent originally requested, proposes a $35,325 salary for the superintendent, $31,057 for the assistant superintendent; $26,(507 (Continued on Page 3) Commonwealth’s Attorney Endorses Victim-Witness Commonwealth’s Attorney Douglas Baumgardner was spokesman for two causes at Monday’s Board meeting as he presented the supervisors with petitions signed by 363 county residents asking for more dumpsters and then requested that $4,000 be included in the 1983-84 budget as Rappahannock’s share of a joint Victim-Witness program with Fauquier County. “I know new expenditures and new programs are always controversial,” Baumgardner acknowledged of the Victim-Witness request. But he maintained that Victim-Witness is vital to correcting the public’s perception that the criminal justice system is oriented in favor of the criminal. “I’m confident that once the program is initiated, there will be one person on the [)ayroll and it will remain with one person on the payroll.” he said, volunteering space, telephones and secretarial services of his office for Victim-Witness. Baumgardner noted that Kappahannock’s judges and probation -officers support establishment of a VictimWitness Program to jointly serve this county and neighboring Fauquier (where the board of supervisors is being asked to allocate $12,000). In a letter to the Rappahannock Board, Circuit Court Judge Thomas Horne 1 described Victim-Witness as “most helpful to persons in need of help as a result of their being victims of crime or being called upon to testify in criminal proceedings.” Horne also offered his assistance in describing how such a program could be set up in Fauquier and Rappahannock counties. General District Judge John Alexander added his ''warm endorsement” in a letter dated March 30. He noted that during a recent trial moved here from Loudoun County, Rappahannock’s constitutional officers were “impressed by the tremendous assistance of the program to the Court, the Prosecution, the Defense. the Witnesses and the Victim.” Without the assistance of the program, victim and witnesses “often find themselves frightened, bewildered, and, to use an old baseball expression, as ‘lost balls in the high weeds,’ ” Alexander said. “Such reactions do not lend themselves to respect for the Judicial system or to the orderly administration of justice by the Court as well as to the prompt and efficient prosecution and ajudication of criminal charges.” He suggested that VictimWitness might be effectively and economically put into operation in conjunction with the Court Services Fro gram” already in place. Probation officer Dean Hahn, in his letter to the Rappahannock supervisors* noted that Victim-Witness can be especially helpful in cases involving restitution to victims of crimes committed by his clients. He added that Irene Wodell, director and the only paid staff person for Loudoun County’s model program, “always has the needed information” for restitution proceedings. Victim-Witness provides comfort and help in alleviating mental suffering and meeting the medical needs of crime’s victims, Hahn said. The program also provides supervision for per(Continued on Page 4) —Rappahannock News Pholo/T Reynolds BOUND FOR THE GOVERNORS SCHOOL for the gifted this summer are Dawn Watson (1) and Peggy Stephenson. The girls were nominated by the high school for the special course at Longwood starting in mid-June. Based on high school enrollment, the selection of two students from a school this size is an honor for Rappahannock. County Budget To Start With 5% Pay Raises Work that will finally determine the county’s 1983-84 tax rate began at Monday’s board meeting as the supervisors agreed on five percent raises as a starting point in general salary policy. Clerk Diane Bruce reported that Wally Cox, Rappahannock’s accountant, had requested a figure to use in drafting a preliminary budget. According to Cox, “statewide, it looks like it’s going to be five percent,” Bruce said. By consensus, the supervisors agreed to use the same amount. “But it doesn’t necessarily mean we’re going to stick with five percent,” Chairman J.R. Latham added. Sylvia Kreitler, director of Rappahannock’s Social Services Department, passed the 1983-84 request for welfare programs on to the board. She noted that the department’s proposed budget carries a bottom line total of $222,000, an increase of approximately $9,000 or K’i-i eat i four percent over the current year. The county’s share of the proposed expenditures amounts to $51,052, a six percent climb from the 1982-83 request of $-48,221. “That’s below the inflation rate,” Kreitler noted. She explained that the major increases come in foster care and auxiliary grants to pay for nursing home care and other alternative living arrangements for elderly and handicapped clients who meet income eligibility and other criteria. In addition, Kreitler said, the budget includes a state-mandated salary increase for Social Service Department staffers. She noted that she’d asked for an additional part-time person and had given up $1,000 of her own raise to fund the position. In addition, she pointed out on the budget sheets that most of the new block grant funds coming to Rappahannock have been directed to companion services, a program aimed at providing assistance so that the elderly can stay in the community instead of entering nursing homes. To the greatest extent possible, welfare recipients are hired to provide the companion services. “This community needs to create jobs. . . If we don’t support this effort and hire someone ourselves, why should anybody else?” the social services director asked. Superintendent Robert Kstabrook, assistant superintendent (Jerald Lysik and board chairman Beverly Massie presented the proposed school board budget to the su|x*rvisors at Monday’s meeting. (See separate story on final school proposal. ) There was no discussion of the appropriations request as a joint work session between the supervisors and the school board was tentatively set for the morning of April 2f> with a public hearing on 19K3-K4 expenditures (Continued on Page 3) Landowners Shocked j By Utility Work I By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer The weathered 20 foot poles that once blended into the forests, their parallel lines invisible against the tree line on Susan and Bill Cameron’s hilltop farm are no longer along. They’ve been joined by the behemoths of utility poles, 75 foot giants three feet in diameter that tower above the trees, dangling wires that glow in the sunshine and festooned with bell insulators the size of dinner platters. The Camerons have gone to court to try to block the utility company’s marcl across their 82 acres, of Route 211 contending that the operable 1928 easemem across the land gives Poto mac Edison the right t< maintain the lines but not tt build a new line. And that is what tht Camerons believe the powei company is doing in upgrad ing the existing line front 34.5 kilovolts to 138 kilovolts. By carrying that jump in voltage on a single rather than a double row ol poles, PotEd has had to increase the number of poles as well, going from five tc i seven, for example, across p the Cameron property. At an earlier court hearing on the case, the utility’s area engineering supervisor i Kenneth Nichols reported i that the upgraded line extending from Luray to Sperryville will have a production capacity of 90,000 kilowatts, ten times the old line’s capacity. The old line is half of a matched set, its twin running from Front Royal to the Sperryville substation.

Race Debuts Despite Rain Sunday, March 27, brought discouraging weather for all who worked hard to set the course for Rappahannock’s debut as host for one leg of the Old Fashioned Foint-to-Point series. As rain, sleet and snow showed no signs of abating, the event came close to being cancelled. But joint masters J. A. B. Dahlgren and L. L. LeHew decided to persevere—a good decision as 11 contestants representing five hunts showed up with their attendant supporters. The course was laid out I over 8.9 miles of Col. John Lyle's farm on Route 729 with a dip onto the farms of Mrs. M. Kuhn, Dick Latham and Red Payne. It encompassed three check points and a starting line with a finish that could be crossed from either direction. At the start, it was still raining heavily.

M Panthers I 0-2 In District Play By joe McCullough Rappahannock Newi Sporta Writer When it rains it pours, and it certainly poured down on the Rappahannock Panthers last F riday as they were routed 20-1 by the George Mason Mustangs. “The way Mason played, getting 15 hits, they could have beat anyone. We, on the other hand, couldn’t beat anyone with only three lousy hits”, said coach Doyle Dawson. The Panthers didn’t waste any time losing this one. Mike Atkins started the game off with an error and was tagged with two more before the inning ended in route to an 8-0 Mustangs lead. The Panthers pitcher Jim Williams a good first inning, throwing two strike outs and forcing the Mustangs to settle for weak grounders that would have been outs for other teams. Rappahannock’s turn at bat elapsed quickly when Robert Myers hit into a double play, sending Rapp back into the field. An error on Craier Williams and long balls by Mason upped the Mustangs’ to 12-0 in the second inning. The Panthers offensive hopes were again extinguished when Jack Jenkins hit into a double play. Myers and Thomas Sisk turned what should have been a routine single in the third inning into another score for the Mustangs. Rappahannock players then began to call to mind the film Bad News Bears except, as one player put it, these were the worst bears of them all. Mason continued, their scoring blitz in the fourth inning and built a 20-0 advantage. Rapp’s lone run came in the final inning off an error on the catcher and Jeff Porter crossed the plate. The Panthers finished the contest with 13 errors and they succeeded in walking eight Mustang batters. “It’s pitiful, isn’t it” was all Rappahannock coach Doyle Dawson could say as he watched his Panthers slip to 0-2 in the district after losing 4-0 to the Strasburg Rams on Tuesday. This was the first game for the Rams, who used mental mistakes to beat RCHS. Jeff Porter had a great day on the mound despite the loss. He sat down the first three Ram batters right in a row and then sparked Rapp’s offense with a single. But he was picked off going to second, the result of a mental error by Robert Myers who missed the signal from Coach Dawson. It was the first of a rash of missed signals by the Panthers. Coacn Uawson expressed surprise that kids in high school couldn’t pick up signals. He said he tried to make it as simple as possible, using only four signs: (1) if he touched his skin after the indicator (his hat), the runner was to steal, (2) if he touched his belt, that meant he wanted a bunt, (3) if he touched his legs it was sign to hit and run, and (4) if he wanted the batter to take the pitch, he held up one finger. Porter continued to throw the ball well into the third inning, but errors by Jim Williams at third and Tim Williams on first allowed two runners to crdss the plate and put the Rams on top, 2-0. The game brightened momentarily when Rapp had Myers on third, Aylor on second, and Leake on first but the Panthers failed to swing their bats with power and went into the final inning trailing, 2-0. A triple, double and a single by the Rams set the mark at 4-0 and that is where it stayed at the end of the game. Panthers2 Strasbur# Sp/tt Rappahannock’s track squads split the 1983 season’s opening meet at Strasburg with the Panther girls downing the Rams, 66 to 46, while the Panther boys were edged out, 65 to 71. The fast four contingent of Crystol Porter, Kathryn Davis, Raynetta Gheen and Kim Williams raced off to last year’s form from the start, winning the 880 and 440 relays. In individual competition, the foursome piled on additional points with Porter, Davis and Gheen finishing one-two-three in the long jump, Gheen and Davis finishing one-two in the 100 and Porter taking first in the high jump and third in the 220.

The Heart Association also cites added benefits as being “more energy, improved stress management, improved muscle tone, calories burned, and appetite controlled.” Rappahannock Aerobic Dance will begin an eightweek spring session on April 11. There are classes mornings, afternoons, and three nights a week. For $25, one may attend twice a week or, for $35, attendance is unlimited. For more information, call Rose Ann Sharp at 675-3887 or Aileen Barnes at 987-8619. Anyone who is considering this program and has not participated in any regular exercises recently should consult with their physician beforehand.

v I Land Use And Ag Districts (Continued from Pag* 1) based on individuals reporting gross sales of $1,000 or more from an agricultural operation. “I think it’s more in the neighborhood of 60 for those who are making a living at farming,” Luke added. Breaking the arithmetic down further, he told the supervisors that 10 percent of Rappahannock’s taxpayers compared to 86 percent of the county’s farmers are enrolled in land use. Eight percent of the total taxpayers are farmers and 16 percent of the separate land parcels in the county are now receiving land use, he reported. “I wonder what is the total of taxes paid by farmers,” Wood interjected. “I don’t have that figure,” Luke replied, continuing that “down the pike, the county has financial problems it’s got to face up to, one way or another.” “What would you do to broaden the tax base?” asked Supervisor Hubert Gilkey. Luke said he’d make changes in land use evaluation, raising the worth per acre in different soil categories, and “bring in another Aileen knitting plant...We all like the county the way it is. There’s no question about that. But times change...The financial where-with-all has to come from some place.” “I agree we need to keep our eyes on the financial picture,” said Supervisor J. R. Latham, adding that he is particularly concerned with the burden local taxes place on low income families and the elderly. “But I’m also concerned about turning Rappahannock County into another Prince William," he said, noting the tremendous increases in taxes there as subdivisions and commercial development have replaced farms. Luke acknowledged that the greater the population, the greater the demand for services. “Land doesn’t cause the tax rate to escalate — people do, services do,” emphasized supervisor Charles Estes. Is It Effective? H. L. Man waring of Woodville asked the supervisors to assess the effectiveness of land use taxation and ag districts in meeting the Virginia General Assembly’s stated goal of preserving and protecting the state’s agricultural land and farming industry. Is land use keeping land in farming ’‘and if so, is that advantageous? Or is it better to have all the reaches up to Red Oak Mountain covered with houses?” he questioned. The disappearance of agricultural land to roads, developments, parking lots and shopping centers is “becoming something of an epidemic,” Manwaring said. It’s not just a Rappahannock County problem, it’s a state and national problem, he added. Land use is a means to combat “the tremendous pulling power of $2,000 an acre” that a farmer can receive by selling out to development, Manwaring concluded. Recalling statements from Rappahannock’s former delegate, George Beard, Robert Eastham said that Rappahannock has no commercial or industrial base on which to shift the burden of taxes deferred thrugh the use value program. Without that broader base, “you’re only transferring the tax burden from some citizens to others,” Eastham said. He called for the board to stand by its original intention voiced when general use value was adopted in 1981 of studying and reviewing the program after a one-year trial period. With county expenses rising, “no one should be allowed to pay less taxes in 1982 than they did in 1981,” he insisted, adding that use value recipients had seen their tax bills go down in that period by 50, 60 and in some cases, even 70 percent. Are They Farmers? Ninety percent of Rappahannock’s tax payers are assessed at fair market value while 10 percent have a portion of their taxes de 5% Pay Raises (Continued from Page 1) for education to follow in the afternoon. But Estrabrook did ask for authorization to sign a $124,000 contract on the construction of the new school board office and bus shop. Of that amount, the school board included $90,000 in its current budget specifically earmarked for the new building. Estabrook reported that the board believes it will have at least an additional $41,000 remaining in the 1982-83 funds at the close of the fiscal year. “I don’t think we’ll have to ask for any new monies whatsoever,” he stated. Massie explained, howTrooper Continued from Page 1 ryville collided just north of Woodville where Deal was entering Rt. 522 from a private driveway at 3:35 p.m. The 1981 Ford Police cruiser and the 1976 Chevrolet pick-up driven by Deal were declared total losses.

She added that current budget savings are anticipated to come in the categories of gas, oil and other lubricants ($53,000 budgeted and only $25,000 spent as of the end of February) and heating fuel ($45,000 budgeted and only $20,000 spent at the same point). By unanimous vote, the supervisors authorized the transfer of the unspent funds to capital outlay and their carry-over into the next budget year, clearing the way for the school board to sign the construction contract for the new building. Storm (Continued from Page 1) consumers were affected, both in Rappahannock and Culpeper counties. The unseasonable storm added rainwater to alreadyswollen streams and rivers and caused minor electrical problems throughout the county. ferred through use value, according to Eastham. “Who are those ten percent? Fanners?” he asked. The county’s comprehensive plan lists the number of farmers and farm managers as 91, Eastham told the supervisors, estimating that 60 are “real, honest to God, working for their whole living on the farm farmers.” And who are the rest, he asked. “The rest are investors in real estate, speculators in real estate...It is a crime...to subsidize...people who speculate in real estate,” Eastham maintained. He continued that last year, the supervisors took $400,000 from surplus funds to “neatly cover up this operation" of preferential assessments. Without that surplus, the county’s tax rate would have been at least 50 cents instead of 32 cents, Eastham said. Where Is The Surplus? “Where is that surplus now, gentlemen? I can’t find it anywhere,” he noted, predicting that government funding will show a deficit at the end of this fiscal year. “You can steal from the budget—pardon me, transfer from the budget—one time...The dark cloud is going to hit June 30, 1983...You’re going to have to shoot the tax rate up to at least 50 cents unless you cut the school budget, the whole budget, to ribbons,” Eastham said. The present land use taxation program is not only inequitable, it violates the Golden Rule’s admonition to treat a neighbor as you would want to be treated, Eastham charged. He begged the board to make changes in the current assessment structure before June 30, the end of the current fiscal year. “For God’s sake, be reasonable men and try to modify land use taxation so we don’t have our tax base eroded.” He maintained that the county’s large land owners have received a tax break since 1833 and should continue to get that break. But instead of use value taxation, he proposed that the supervisors set “reasonable assessments” on large holdings and then “use the same tax rate for everybody.” Has It Worked? Newbill Miller proposed that the supervisors look at the benefits — as well as the costs — of use value taxation. “The basic policy of this governing body has been to preserve the good life, the rural life, low taxes, the friendly feeling the lack of congestion on roads. What you’ve done works.” “I speak of open space because that’s where our quality of life comes from,” Miller continued. “We have low taxes because our land is in open space and not houses.” He pointed to Planning District reports which show that Rappahannock has the lowest taxes, the lowest crime rate, the lowest rentals in the five county area. “We have less congestion on our roads, less discipline problems in our schools. What’s wrong with that? he asked. He acknowledged that farmers benefit from land School (Continued from Page 1) for the elementary school principal; $28,890 for the high school principal; $21,855 and $23,661 for the elementary and high school assistant principals, respectively. Besides salaries, changes are seen in other items. Transportation replacement costs are up 120% from last year to reflect the superintendent’s and the board’s desire to replace two buses in the next school year. Operation and maintenance costs decrease largely because of anticipated savings in fuel. Decreases in fixed charges reflect insurance savings projected by the insurance audit and revision now in progress. In capital outlay, the $21,000 proposed under professional services is the amount needed for an architect’s preliminary steps on a new high school gym and remodeling.

Just as in other types of businesses, the paper work is necessary for reasons of uniformity and legal requirements. Here again, as in many other instances, we use professional expertise to make sure the right forms are filled out properly at the right time. One stumbling block that could cause the real estate non-professional problems concerns printed clauses. For example, the PRINTED portion of the contract might say the seller has to provide good title within, say, fifteen days of the contract date. However, the TYPEDIN PORTION of the con tract — tne contingency clause — may state that the buyer has thirty-five days to get a loan! The point we’re trying to make is that the two time periods should be the same. The seller should have the same amount of time to deliver a good title as the buyer has to find the money. The two activities are, after all, dependent on each other. They both figure in achieving the mutual goal of the transfer of the property to every one’s satisfaction.

Houses in the town of Washington are selling for $100,000 not because of their magnificant architecture but because they’re located in a beautiful area. Miller said. Tourists still travel Route 211 to reach Skyline Drive even though shorter Interstate 66 has opened — spending their dollars at Rappahannock businesses along the way — because it’s a beautiful drive through this county, he maintained. “We’ve got to look at what land use taxation does for Rappahannock County... The person who owns open space subsidizes everyone else when you look at it fairly.” Is It Fair? Robert Settle said that "to be fair” the county must continue to allow land use both in ag districts and through a county wide program to ensure that all farmers—not just those landowners who can put together the 500 acre minimum — are eligible. If farmers can’t afford to continue farming and are forced to sell their land for development, Rappahannock’s zoning ordinances won’t withstand the pressure, he warned. “Do away with land use and you’re going to have to turn the ordinance loose and let people build on onehalf acre lots and then you’ll need more roads and two or three more schools,” Settle predicted. On behalf of the applicants whose proposal for the East Wakefield ag district sparked the renewed debate over land use, Bob Dennis requested that farm land and open space be taxes “as resources, not as commodities.” He recalled that the head of the State Department of Taxation's property tax division had cautioned the supervisors that without use value, the county’s new assessments would cause a radical shift of the tax burden onto raw land. Experience in other localities has shown that even with use value, farmers subsidize homeowners by generating more revenue than the cost of services they receive from a county, according to Dennis. Miriam Harris told the supervisors that for the past 25 years, she has attempted to make her living at farming. Increased taxes would make it impossible for her to continue or to pass her land on to young people who want to farm, she said. "Mr. Eastham counted the farmers in Rappahannock but not the farm workers," Harris pointed out, noting that the agricultural industry provides employment for many who aren’t land owners. After affirmation that (1) subdivision into parcels smaller than 50 acres is prohibited in ag districts and (2) that review of such districts is required by law every four to eight years, the supervisors voted unanimously to approve the East Wakefield Agricultural and Forestal District. No action was taken to direct any further study on the issue of use value taxation. r odderstack Day Events Planned Local training is reaching a serious level as county runners make last minute efforts to compete for the greatly-coveted Eva B.

Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc. Member. Audit Bureau of Circulation Thursday, April 7, 1983 Rappahannock Weather By EUGENE McCARTHY Rappahannock News Guest Columnist According to a recent announcement, the Reagan Administration is considering selling parts of the nation’s weather service to private companies or possibly even to individuals, such as Gardon Barnes or Willard Scott. The reasons given for the proposed sale are not quite clear. If reducing the national debt were the objective, it would be better to offer for sale all radio and television licenses as new ones are offered or old ones come up for renewal. The offering could be made at auction, in somewhat the same way that the rights to graze cattle and sheep on public lands are offered. The right to graze on the public mind and will could fairly be treated as something the government might also offer to the highest bidder. The Reagan spokesmen have not said that they thought the private sector could give us better weather or more of it, as they generally assert in their support of the private sector in other services. Competition among weather analysis and torecasters, beginning with ownership of the instruments for studying weather, might give better results than we now get through the competitive interpretation of radio and television weather persons. That competition is not now judged on the basis of whether the weather expert is right or wrong, but on the size of his listening or watching followers. Professional competence does not seem to be measure of distinction, Willard Scott does as well or better than other weather persons who are “metereologists”. Willard is not. The early television weather persons were women, like Tippy Stringer. Whereas a few women have held on as weather report Poet, author, former U. S. Senator from Minnesota and candidate for the presidency, Eugene McCarthy now lives in the F. T. Valley near Slate Mills. ers, they are usually weekend or substitute reporters and none that I know of are “metereologists.” There may be an equal rights issue involved here. In the old German and Swiss weather forecasters, men and women were both included, although there was some discrimination. Usually bad weather, eight approaching or continuing, was represented by a scolding women, armed with a broom, emerging or standing outside the weather house, whereas good weather was represented by a jovial, satisfied man. The second phase of the Reagan Administration’s proposal contemplates the transfer to the private sector of weather analysis and forecasting. It has not yet been indicated as to whether these analyists will have to be licensed, somewhat as meat inspectors are, or under the authority of the Consumer Protection Agency or the Environmental Protec tion Agency or subject to suits for “malpractice” or whether they will have to restrict their terms and measures of weather and its effects to accepted government standards or standards already accepted, although ill defined, with a reasonable margin for error. Understanding the weather and interpreting the forecasts may become even more difficult than is now the case. One has to distinguish between temperature measurements in Centigrade and Fahrenheit, with the added factor of wind-chill. One can not get a simple projection of say an inch of rain for tomorrow, but has to give thought to a twenty percent chance, or a fifty per cent chance, that there will be any rain. One must know that “heavy snow” is not necessarily heavy, but likely to be deep, and light snow is not in fact “light", but small in volume. The “discomfort index”, a mathematical combination of temperature and humidity and applicable to government employees in non-air conditioned buildings, triggering at the critical point the release of those employees, may not be recognized in the private sector. Air quality indexes and the absoluteness of the pollen. count, already under chal- * lenge, may be distabilized in the new free market weather reading and interpreting. And a new measure, being talked about by the U.S. Weather Bureau, a measure of the stress factor in the weather, may never be tested.. All of which may argue for a return of the Farmers’ Almanac, as the best source of weather information, at least, or especially for Rappahannock County. Victim-Witness sons convicted oi misdemeanors and ordered to perform community service, he added. Baumgardner informed the supervisors that a new state law which takes effect July 1 requires that pre-sentence reports contain a victim impact statement. A Victim-Witness Program can supply assistance to the courts by providing this impact statement, he said. “It’s a question of righting some perceived wrongs as far as the criminal justice system is concerned,” the commonwealth’s attorney continued. He added that he tries through his office to provide services to victims by distributing a brochure that sets out procedures for obtaining restitution. “But it’s not always read and not always understood.” When he has five to ten cases to try in a given afternoon, Baumgardner said, it’s often difficult to find time to explain the disposition of a case to the victims and witnesses involved. As a result, many leave the courtroom “disallusioned with the way the court system works in this county. . . disallusioned through lack of understanding.” Baumgardner concluded that establishment of a Victim-Witness Program here will go far toward eliminating the lack of understanding and “will end up paying off in dividends for Rappahannock.” Dumpster Request “I couldn’t agree more,” said Supervisor Charles Estes in response to the petitions presented by Baumgardner requesting additional dumpsters, particularly in the Washington and Sperryville areas. “As soon as they (the 363 petition signers) find a location, we’ll be glad to provide the dumpsters,” Chairman J.R. Latham added. The board agreed to name a committee to investigate possible dumpster sites.

Reynolds THE JOINT WAS JUMPIN’ March 22 at the Rappahannock Elementary School when the upper grades participated in the Jump For Heart Contest. Over $3300 was pledged in the competition, based on the minutes jumped. Now, with most of the pledged amount collected, the winning team has been selected: George Dunn, who was also the highest pledged single jumper with $123 in pledges, Vicki Compton, John Keys, James Nicholson, Debbie Nicholson and Sheri Kidwell. Merchants sponsoring the event were The Old Hollow Grocery, Sperryville Comer Store, Washington Cash Store, B & B, Baldwin’s West End Shell, and the Parkway Gift Shop. Letters to the Editor -Great Issue To the editor: Your last issue was great! The artwork by Dan Lewis enlivened superlative reporting of the Kidwell case, but that was only the beginning. Mary Jamieson’s fantastic fox-hunting stories were a unique wake-up with breakfast Friday. Until now I’d always figured my horse and hound neighbors were nuts. Her tales confirmed this. More please! What I mentally refer to as Ole Triple-S (the Sperryville Sewer Saga) scored its obligatory page one mention, as did the Zoo Deer Dilemma. Living near the Park, we happen ta have a deer “problem” ourselves, but I expect a $650,000 fencing project could handle it. Your Out of the Attic and Calendar features continue to be a weekly feast, and the on-going two page surveys of county history deserve highest commendation. Wonder if Docs Martin and Krebser will revive the horse and housecall tradition? The job of a rural paper is to educate as well as entertain, of course, and all the above-mentioned pieces do this effectively; your VictimWitness editorial and Compassionate Friends reportage are examples of the way country-livers can help each other. But Frank Reynold s, whose explanation of the positive and conserving affects of ag/forest tax reductions on all of us, wins my weekly award for best article. His concluding sentence (in fact the whole article) deserves a thorough mulling: There is not a single instance of a county which reduced its tax bills by giving up on farms and seeking development... What he’s saying is that cutting off our nose by pinching a few tax dollars now is without question destined to tragically and irremedially spite the face of our beautiful mountain home. Development is forever. Our supervisors and citizenry must recognize that ag districting benefits us all. So does your fine newspaper. As daffodils and birdsong herald spring, we each can thank our risen Lord that we are blessed to live within what you mirror for us each week as Our Rappahannock Heritage. Heritage is a thoughtprovoking word. FREEMAN ALLAN Flint Hill Please No More Squabbling l o the editor: Why is there so much concern over what kind of benches we sit on in God’s House? If we go to church with Christ in our hearts, we won’t care what kind of benches our bottoms are perched on. There are some who want to replace our old benches with new ones. Why? Our old benches were put in the church by loving hands years ago. They are in perfect condition and were refinished with a love gift left to the Church by Miss Virginia Lutteral at her death. These old benches have been sat on for years by people older than us and with bodies in worst condition than any of ours. Some who want new benches have to ask why! Will they stay in our Church long enough to use them? Or will they cause friction and move on! . I would like to know if there is a padded chair in our Fire House since one of your new members who is handling the new benches at Church was seen there at a dance and stayed long into Sunday morning and had nerve to attend Church and then said the bench was to hard to sit on. Come on, lets take a pillow along if we can’t sit one hour to listen to God’s word. Let’s not upset the church! ACONCERNED MEMBER Best Little Playhouse In Virginia... To the editor: Despite spectacularly undesirable (in fact downright nasty) weather Saturday night, a stalwart band of moviegoers braved the foul storm and witnessed the resusitated Gay Street Theater’s initial film presentation and were treated to a superlative showing of brilliantly beautiful color, lovely scenery, gorgeous costuming and first class sound. These courageous firstnighters beheld Franco Zefferelli’s (probably) favorite .production, “Brother Sun and Sister Moon”, a moving biography of Italy’s renowned tum-of-t he- 13thcentury ascetic, Francis of Assizi. The new projection equipment did full justice to a pictorial masterpiece and promises a very rewarding experience for everyone attending the weekly offerings of RAAC’s film series. (Speaking of which I notice the showing dates of the next film are Friday and Sunday - noon Saturday and Sunday, as is generally the case - though not invariably). I hoDe the countv will support enthusiastically this latest indication of RAAC’s serious intent to live up to its name. Lastly I wish to give deeply felt thanks to those who worked so valiantly to update the Gay Street Theater, one of the best little playhouses in Virginia. When I finally draw up a fully inclusive list of names I’ll happily sing individual accomplishments. But don’t wait for this. Come, two hundred and forty strong, and see what’s going on, on the new screen and in the new lobby. WALDRON O’CONNOR Washington Landowners Shocked By Utility Work -From Both BarrelsAlarm Bells In Roanoke By GEORGE BOWLES The Virginia Education Association has completed its convention in Roanoke, and the message from the delegates assembled is clear. The teachers of the Commonwealth, to paraphrase the President, have had it up to their keisters. The reason for their unhappiness is not complicated. The teachers regard themselves - with considerable justification - as the most overworked and underpaid members of any professional group. Not only that, but with the possible exception of medical professionals, they are convinced - again with considerable justification - that their contribution to society is among the most important. After all, they are charged with the responsibility of educating new generations of citizens. How well or poorly they do their jobs will profoundly affect the quality of our future society. As professionals* the teachers accept this responsibility. Society, which is to say the taxpayers, welcomes their acceptance. But the teachers have this crazy notion that their pay should be more in line with me vaiuc ui uieir cuuliiuutions. This latter, unfortunately, is not so welcome. *'• There still persists the A myth, carried over from n* the last century, that the J profession of teaching ft should be its own reward. V This may have been good enough for the schoolmarms of Mark Twain’s > day, but it was not good enough for the VEA dele gates m Roanoke, nor should it have been. In terms of teachers’ pay, Virginia ranks 31st among the 50 states. The Standards of Quality enacted by the General Assembly several years ago have improved the situation to a degree, but in truth the resulting pay hikes have not even kept pace with inflation. What members of other professional groups would be expected to start their careers at annual salaries as low as $10,745, the entry level wage in Carroll County? The top starting salary of $15,045 in Alexandria is not all that great, either, considering the cost of living in Northern Virginia. So at their Roanoke convention the members of the VEA served notice that something has to be done, and what they propose is enough to scare the wits out of state and local legislators in labor-shy Virginia. They want the right of - perish the words! - collective bargaining with school divisions to negotiate the levels of their salaries. Furthermore, if the General Assembly does not grant them this right, the teachers say they will initiate unspecified “job actions” to bring pressure to get it. A final decision on just what action will be taken will be made at the organizations’ 1984 convention in Norfolk. Job actions can mean anything from “working-tocontract” to sick-outs to strikes. In Virginia the last, of course, would be illegal. Working-to-contract means the teacher would work eight hours a day, and that would be all. There would be no after-hours tutoring, no grading of papers at home, and no lesson preparations outside the contracted-for work day. As any teacher knows, this would be a disaster for the school system if it were applied on a large scale. Teachers participating in any of this sort of activity could, of course, be fired and otherwise punished. Substitutes could be brought in who would be willing to work under the objectionable wage conditions. But their qualifications would likely be so dismally inadequate that it would be an ever greater disaster for the school system. The point is that none of this should be necessary or even threatened. Virginia is not an impoverished state, but even if it could afford to do nothing else, a teachers’ wage set at a level which would attract the best instructional talent available to the school system would be the wisest possible investment of public funds. The alarm bells of militancy clanging at the VEA convention in Roanoke clearly signal that time may be getting short for the legislators and local governing bodies to address this problem in a realistic way. If they do not, there may be big trouble ahead for public education in the Commonwealth. Thank You iu me euaur: I wish to write in order to express my sincerest gratitude for the privilege of having worked with, and for, the people of this community for the past seven and one-half years. Family considerations have led me to move from this area where I have come to feel so “at home”. I wish to commend local governments and human service providers for the deep and abiding concern for, and support of, services for substance abusers and their families. My job here could have been a hopeless dilemma. Instead it has been a wonderful challenge, inspired by the basic goodness of you who will always have the good fortune to call this “home”. I am certain that my successor will benefit from your continued support in dealing with this horrible toll in human suffering generated by alcoholism and other drug addiction. JAMES F.

The new Luray line added to the old Front Royal line (which will remain in use) will increase Potomac Edison’s total production capacity to 110,000 kilowatts, according to Nichols’ court testimony. That is “with all systems operating” and in any time frame—110,000 kilowatts per second, minute or hour, he explained. According to the figures reported at the earlier hearing on the Cameron’s utility challenge, that capacity is more than 15 times over the 1982 demand—7,200 kilwatts from Potomac Edison’s 2,475 Rappahannock customers. It is that tremendous capacity in addition to the visual blight created by the giant poles that has local residents angry and alarmed. Those along the Front Royal line have watched what’s happening in Sperryville and question whether the same 60-70 foot poles will march across their property, Potomac Edison’s denials not withstanding. Those whose property has already been crossed have regrets about the approvals previously given to the utility. “The representatives from the powerline were real nice when they came to see us,” said Maurice Herndon. ‘They said they needed to improve the line to improve service. I like to be cooperative and, after all, the line has to go somewhere so we agreed. Then here comes this monster thing!” Herndon acknowledged that the utility representatives did say that the new poles would be larger. “But they didn’t tell us it would be an 85 foot pole...We didn’t realize how big and unsightly it was going to be...We .had no way of judging what it would be like...That line is as bright and glistening as a mirror when the sun shines on it in the morning.” He stopped short of charging the utility of misrepresentation in securing his approvals for the line improvements, however. “It was more of a misunderstanding. They didn’t explain and we didn’t understand. We underestimated what it would do to our property,” Herndon said, adding that the taller towers with their draped lines had devalued his holding by $5,000 to $10,000. “But it doesn’t bother us as much as it bothers some others. It’s really ruined some properties.” The Camerons are one of those landowners who believe their property has been ruined by the new power line. “It’s raped our farm!” said Susan Cameron, adding that while work on the line was going on across her land,the Rappahannock sheriffs department stationed a deputy on the scene for three days at the utility’s request. She noted that the new line, visible from all but a few windows in her twostory house, has devalued her 82 acres by $30,000 to $70,000, according to estimates from three local realtors. She insists she doesn’t want monetary damages in her suit against. Potomac Edison. In a replay of the David versus Goliath battle, she’s seeking to stop the huge line from crossing her land or at least force the utility to put its high voltage transmission lines underground. Jon Morgan, who owns property in Sperryville that the line will cross on its way to the substation, reported that utility representatives told him there wasn’t1 “enough juice in the community because of growth” and that plans called for “just beefing up the lines.” The utility representative “never said anything about those outrageous arms (cross bars across the poles on,the Cameron property) or the the number of terminals... I looked at what’s happened on the Cameron’s land and asked myself, ‘Is that what’s coming through onto my property?’... They(the utility representatives) never led me for a minute to believe it would be anything like that!” Joseph Brotkowsky’s house lies right under the path of the advancing high voltage line. He’s concerned about the potential health hazards posed by 138 kilovolts hanging over his home as well as its impact on property value of the residence he currently has up for sale. Brotkowsky is currently involved in legal negotiations with Potomac Edison. According to him, the utility contends it has the right to do “anything they want, anytime they want” on the basis of three earlier easements granted across the property in 1928, 1940 and 1944. He reported that utility representatives never mentioned anything about installing larger poles when they approached him. ‘They said they were just going to change the lines," Brotkowsky said. Others whose property is not crossed by the new high voltage line feel that the utility’s latest project affects them as well. “The rebuilt power line detracts from the natural beauty of the county which is a visitor’s attraction,’’ said Esther Schmidt of Rainbow Trails stables in Sperryville. A hearing on the Cameron’s challenge to Potomac Edison is scheduled for this Thursday before Judge Shore Robertson in Rappahannock’s circuit court.
