25' >75-334*) BZA Tackles Question Of Permitted Signs Inconsistency is there certainly and it may not make sense but we have to do the very best we can with what we have before us,” concluded chairman Lee Bird as the Rappahannock board of zoning appeals struggled to interpret sign regulations in the county’s zoning ordinance. Arthur Smith was before the BZA last Friday with a special use permit application for a sign advertising the new Sperryville indoor antique and flea market. “It’s important for me to have a sign out on the road (Route 211). Otherwise I’d have to dose my doors. No one would ever find me!” Smith told the BZA. The four foot by eight foot sign on the highway directs potential customers to the flea market located in the old apple cold storage building that formerly housed the Rappahannock Farmers’ Cooperative. A.Y. Stokes, C.E. Johnson and Clifton Miller, previous owners of the property, held a permit for a sign the same size and in the same location advertising the cold storage, ® according to Smith. The three men gave permission to use the sign on Route 211 “so I substituted my sign,” Smith added. “It’s the same size as the one that was there. Actually, it looks better,” interjected BZA member James Swindler, the board’s representative from the Sperryville area. “The other one was peeling. It was not kept up too well.” Zoning administrator David Konick pointed out that zoning ordinance regulations on signs must be met if use is transferred. “This sign has been there since 1936 or ’38,” Swindler noted. Maximum Size Konick continued that Article 11 of the ordinance prohibits any sign not specifically permitted. The ordinance allows by right signs of not more than 20 square feet of aggregate area advertising local business, he said. In addition, he noted, the ordinance lists 12 types of permitted signs. “Is that in addition to the signs of 20 feet in aggregate area? Or is it 20 feet aggregate area AND only those 12 types?” he asked. “That’s a good question,” BZA member Sharon Luke replied. The Washington attorney and former substitute zoning administrator recalled that when George Davis was Rappahannock’s commonwealth’s attorney, he interpreted the ordinance as allowing signs less than 20 square feet by right. Konick said that the county planning commissioners, currently at work on revision and review of local zoning ordinances, have interpreted sign regulations as prohibiting signs larger than 20 square feet. The Commission has considered existing signs with larger areas as non-conforming uses, he said. Chairman Bird disagreed, with that interpretation of the ordinance maintaining that signs less than 20 feet in area are allowed by right and larger signs by special use permit as long as they advertise a business located in Rappahannock County. “But I’m not final on that interpretation,” Bird said, adding that the sign ordinance “wasn’t drafted with great skill.” “There are inconsistencies in the drafting,” Luke agreed. “It does leave some question as to what it means... I would be delighted, personally, if we could limit all signs in the county to under 20 square feet,” but, Luke said, the past regulations have been previously applied to allow signs under 20 feet by right and over 20 feet by special use permit. “We must be consistent with what’s been done in the past.” “The planning commission and the board of supervisors have the right to appeal your decision,” Konick noted of the BZA’s interpretation that signs over 20 square feet advertising local businesses are allowed by special use permit. “I would just like to have some clarification.” “That’s what we’re doing,” Bird noted. By unanimous vote, the BZA granted the permit for the flea market sign with the conditions that (1) the authorization expires with the close of Smith’s business or earlier if the sign is not properly maintained and (2) the sign be in compliance with Virginia laws governing outdoor advertising. In other action, the board: —approved a special use permit to Alfred J. Wooten for a second dwelling on 18 acres under the condition that records show' the lot was subdivided prior to adoption of the zoning ordinance in 1973. —granted a variance on setback regulations to Earl and Betty Jewell for construction of a garage on their 2.95 acre lot near Bessie Bell Mountain, —issued a special use permit to james Swindler to remodel a tenant house on a 135 acre tract outside Sperryville.

A company that offers micro-wave long distance telephone service is making preliminary inquiries concerning the erection of a 250 foot communication tower on Bessie Bell Mountain near Woodville. At the board of supervisors meeting last Wednesday, June 6, zoning administrator David Konick reported that he has been contacted by M. C. Telecommunications Corporation for information on procedures for securing necessary zoning approval. He distributed copies of his answering letter dated June 17 to Robert McGinnis of MCTC. The letter noted that Rappahannock’s new zoning ordinance will be in effect by August or September and if the revised version is adopted as proposed at present by the planning commission, then communications towers such as that sought on Bessie Bell will be allowed by special exception permit (Continued on Page 2) _ -- School Board Approves Curriculum Changes By THERESA REYNOLDS KappahunmH k Ne^sSliifTWritrr Rappahannock High School Principal Robert Chappell appeared before the school board Tuesday night to request its permission to initiate changes that would add to the high §chool mathematics and elective course offerings. “We can’t offer the choice we’d like to, since our request for an additional math teacher was cut (by the supervisors)” said Chappell. “But by having a math teacher teach five sections of math instead of four of math and one of social studies, we can do the best with what we’ve got.” Chappell’s proposal was to add a tenth grade applied math program for belowgrade-level students, a ninth grade applied math course for grade level students and a pre-algebra course for those eighth graders following a college preparatory curriculum. Those eighth graders ready to tackle algebra would be able to do so, Chappell continued, and applied math and eighth grade math graduates would also be able to go on to the algebra course. Chappell said that the applied math course would increase computational skills and the pre-algebra course would provide an entry level alternative to algebra I for the college-bound student. Chappell said that these changes would allow Rappahannock schools to require three years of math in grades 8-12 for all graduates, effective with the close of 1987. “This is the result of a surface review of possibilities,” Chappell said. “Obviously, to make extensive curriculum changes, we would need a complete review of math progress from kindergarten through grade 12.” In addition, Chappell asked the board for permission to offer accounting, advanced woodworking, computer concepts, personal typing and Psychology. Accounting Chappell said that the record-keeping course repeated knowledge taught in general business and in consumer math. He said that Rappahannock graduates taking this course will be qualified for an entry-level bookkeeping position. Advanced Woodworking Students taking this course, primarily seniors, must have completed basic woodworking and will learn and use new processes in planning and finishing aspects of fine woodworking. Chappell said that the addition of this course to a curriculum of other vocational courses offered at the high school might fulfill a vocational education graduate requirement in addition to offering this skill to college bound seniors. Computer Concepts The course as outlined by Chappell would be a halfyear, single-period course. It will introduce data processing and provide some degree of computer literacy to students. Chappell said that while initially the enrollment will be limited to seniors, the course might be used as an exploratory course for freshmen and sophomores considering further training at Piedmont in data processing. Chappell said that the course might not be offered, however, if more students don’t show an interest. Board member Nancy Reeve suggested that some students may be intimidated by computers and that the addition of the course would allow students to get used to the idea of working with computers. Chappell noted that all students, not just those interested in a career in data processing, will need to be familiar with and able to use computers. Personal Typing Chappell also explained that there was a need for a typing course for students not interested in the subject its part of their career plans, but for college and daily use. He proposed an 18-week course for 12th graders, focusing on term paper format as well as keyboard technique. This is another course, said Chappell, that may be eliminated for lack of student interest. Psychology An 18-week course in Psychology was proposed, replacing Economics which would in turn be included for all students within the U.S. Government curriculum. Chappell said that this course will be a more attractive academic gifted-talented course offering and serve as an introduction for students desiring to go on in the social science's. The school board ap(Conlinued on Page :{) zoning Board flashes Red Light To Utilities By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON 4*mH>tth!innofKN«*»Stafr Writer 1 Rappahannock’s board of zoning appeals proved at last Friday’s meeting that corporate giants receive no special favors when it comes to compliance with local zoning regulations. Both Potomac Edison Power Company and Centel Telephone failed—at least for the time being—to win permits and variances necessary to continue projects here because the utilities had not met requirements set out in the county’s zoning ordinance. The board denied the special use permit and variance requested by CenTel for telephone equipment already installed on Route 729 near Flint Hill just a few feet from the road’s intersection with Route 522. The equipment—two metal cabinets seven feet high and two feet wide—is situated on an eight foot by ten foot concrete pad on property owned by Robert Metcalfe for which the utility holds an easement. Built at a cost of over $100,000, the new facility allows the utility to improve service while avoiding the greater expense of installing individual cables to customers’ homes, according to Royce Donavan. The new equipment will also enable CenTel to increase its serv ice capacity in the Flint HillHuntly area from the current 120-140 customers to 250, he said. The application considered at Friday’s public hearing involved a special use permit necessary for a public utility in an agricultural zone and a variance to the requirement for road 55 setback distance. Neighbor Opposed At the outset of the hearing, BZA chairman Lee Bird read a letter from Juanda Rodgers opposing the utility’s project “based on the possible commercialization of what is now entirely an agricultural area.” Rodgers, a neighboring landowner, noted in her letter that CenTel had poured the foundation for a building without first securing a permit for construction. The concrete pad constitutes all the construction that will take place at the site, Dona van assured the BZA. He acknowledged that the concrete had been poured without CenTel first obtaining a building permit but pleaded ignorance rather than disregard for the law. “It’s not a requirement in other counties,” he noted, adding that CenTel would “of course” remove the pad if the special use permit is denied. Donavan added that the utility has al ready spent $1,100 for shrubbery to screen the equipment from the road. Zoning administrator David Konick questioned whether CenTel qualifies for a variance to setback requirements since Metcalfe— not the utility—is the property owner. “This case arises under some very peculiar circumstances,” he continued. According to Konick, the contractor called the zoning ordinance on a Thursday and was told he needed a building permit before proceeding. “He came in the following week but in the meantime, he had already poured the concrete pad.” As part of building permit application process, it became apparent that a special use permit and variance were also necessary to meet zoning regulations, Konick said. In order to qualify for a variance, the property owner must show that strict application of the ordinance will work a hardship approaching confiscation, the zoning administrator noted. “This is not the property owner coming in. This is CenTel.” In addition, the applicant “must come in with clean hands... They must show there’s no other way to do this,” Konick said, adding that CenTel is essentially seeking a special privilege and convenience rather than alleviation of a hardship in its variance application. “I have a problem... 1 don’t think we would approve this if it wasn’t already constructed,” said BZA member Sharon Luke. “This is a self-imposed hardship.” Donavan agreed that with a larger easement, the setback distance from the road specified in the zoning ordinance could be met. He acknowledged, however, that CenTel had not discussed getting additional land with metcalf. Bad Faith? “CenTel is bootstrapping itself into a variance situation when (the utility) hasn’t shown good faith,” Konick maintained. “And to make matters worse, they constructed the facility before they got a building permit.” “Maybe 1 jumped the gun,” replied John K. Brown, contractor for the project. “But is this considered a building?” After lengthy discussion and with Chairman Bird opixjsed BZA members Luke, George Muth and James Swindler held that the concrete pad fell into the category of structure and thus required a variance since it sat 11 feet from Route 522 rather than the 55 feet specified by the ordinance and 22 (('ontinued on Page 2) Drowning Victim Saved A Busy Day For Washington Crew Besides serving com, barbecuing a pig and assisting in the many activities in town on July 4, the Washington Fire and Rescue Crew participated in five rescue efforts on that busy day. ‘This is the most calls we’ve ever had in one day,” said Washington Fire Chief Roger Roach. “It couldn’t have happened at a busier time.” The most dramatic rescue performed by the crew was on a near-drowning victim, Joyce Smoot, 24, of Washington. Smoot had been swimming at Rock Mills when she was pushed in and went under. Her brother brought her to the com stand in Washington. According to Roach, she had stopped breathing when Jackie Estes, a member of the rescue squad, ran to the car and began resuscitation. “She started breathing again immediately,” said Roach. “Jackie pulled her from the car and, in the next few minutes, revived her twice more as her breathing stopped.” Roach called the Flint Hill ambulance, a full medic unit, to transport her to the hospital. Hearing the call on their monitors, Flint Hill cardiac technicians Frankie Huff and Sherry Hamill, who were already in town, ran to the site to assist in the resuscitation effort. Smoot was brought to the hospital by the Flint Hill unit when it arrived and she (Continued on Page 2) -Rappahannock News Photo/John Toler WEARING HER FANCIEST EARS this goat chats with passers by on July 4 in Washington.

A special goat show will be the highlight of Saturday morning, July 23, at Error Led To Fraud Charges “This is a very unfortunate case,” stated attorney David Konick as he moved for dismissal of welfare fraud charges lodged against his client, Elma Jane Cofield of Woodville. In circuit court on Monday, Konick explained to Judge Shore Robertson that a mix up in social security numbers led to an indictment accusing Cofield of receiving food stamp benefits for which she was ineligible due to increased household income. That alleged increase, Konick said, was determined on the basis of income ascribed to the social security number of an individual who is not part of his client’s household. “It turns out that these charges are without basis.” “I am not able to corroborate that,” responded Commonwealth’s Attorney Douglas Baumgardner, asking Judge Robertson to nolle prosequi rather than dismiss charges against Cofield. (In a nolle prosequi, a case is removed from the docket without prejudice to the commonwealth and the commonwealth retains the right to later reinstitute the same charges. A dismissal is final and precludes the commonwealth from reinstituting the case.) According to Baumgardner, welfare personnel have not been able to exclude “beyond a reasonable doubt that there is confusion arising from an error in social security numbers.” Konick said his client was prepared for trial on Monday. “We have our evidence,” he said, adding that he’d discussed Cofield’s side of the case with Baumgardner. Apparently Konick said, the commonwealth is not in a position to prove that fraud was involved in the receipt of the contested food stamp benefits. “The defendant ih entitled to have these charges removed from her record,” he said, adding that his client’s reputation has been damaged through reports in the Rappahannock News of the indictment returned by the grand jury against Cofield. Judire Robertson replied that he would reset the case for trial and if the commonwealth isn’t able to go forward at that time, he would dismiss the charges. Baumgardner repeated his request for a nolle prosequi. The judge noted that, in his three years on the bench, this was the first time he’d heard objections from the commonwealth to a dismissal after the state’s attorney had moved for nol pros. “It is entirely possible that we would be prepared to go forward with this case (after the different agencies (Continued on Page 2)

No Green Light ForUtilities From BZA (Continued from Pape 1) feet from Route 729 instead of the necessary 75 feet. As to granting the variance, Swindler maintained that the utility had not acted in good faith by its failure to apply for the necessary permits before going ahead with construction. “As long as the telephone company has been in business in this county, they should know what the ordinance requires,” he said, adding that Metcalfe, a citizen of the county and owner of the property in question, should likewise have been aware of zoning regulations. Luke agreed that if the utility couldn’t meet setback distances given the size of the parcel on which they held the easement, then the hardship was self-imposed and therefore did not qualify as grounds for award of a variance. Donavan pointed out that CenTel in 1979 built two cabinets in Chester Gap and Huntly identical to the facility constructed at Flint Hill without needing a vari ance. Both, he said, were closer to the road than 55 feet. Returning from the zoning ordinance with records, Konick reported that the BZA granted two special use permits to Centel for those earlier installations. “So obviously they did know they had to comply with the zoning ordinance.” “They did know or they should have known,” countered Bird, arguing that the earlier permit applications had no bearing on the question of good faith at issue in the current application. “They knew it was regulated by the ordinance,” Konick repeated. He also pointed out that after getting the earlier special use permits, CenTel failed to file the required development plan or apply for a building permit. The board split 2-2 with Luke and Swindler finding that CenTel had not acted in good faith.

Tom Reese and if that permit had been applied for before construction, then CenTel would also have known that a setback variance was required. “So that effectively ends the application,” noted Bird. “There will be no variance granted in this case. And we can’t grant the special use permit either because the use must be in accord with the provisions of the ordinance.” Safety An Issue Earlier in the meeting in reviewing findings which must be made before a special use permit may be issued, the board members questioned whether the new facility adversely affects safety. Luke asked if the utility had secured a permit from the highway department for the entrance to the new facility. Donavan replied that the entrance already existed when he became involved in the project. “There was no existing entrance before CenTel acquired the easement,” reported Peggy Rolfe, a neighboring land owner. She pointed to possible traffic safety hazards posed by the sharp angle that the road takes just before the driveway into the utility site and asked how CenTel trucks would get in and out. Service vehicles will either pull in or back into the site, according to Donavan. He acknowledged that the lot does not provide enough room to turn around and therefore, trucks that go in front first will have to back out onto Route 729. Luke and Swindler agreed that backing either in or out posed a safety hazard. “The solution is to acquire more land from Metcalfe, Swindler added. Donavan replied that CenTel will contact the landowner regarding an additional easement for expanding the lot to allow for sufficient off street parking and turnaround space. (As the result of the variance denial, Konick reported this Tuesday that he has written to CenTel directing the telephone company to remove the structure immediately or enforcement action will be taken.) Conflict Everywhere Left without a quorum due to conflict of interest, the BZA tabled a request from Potomac Edison Power Company for extension of a building permit. At the same time, the members left hanging a question of whether the permit would have been extended with a quorum since it appeared that the utility had failed to satisfy zoning ordinance requirements for a development plan. At issue was the permit for rebuilding the power company’s line from Luray to the Sperryville substation, upgrading it from 32.5 to 138 kilovolts. “I am involved in litigation and will disqualify myself,” said zoning admin istrator David Konick at the outset of the hearing. Konick represents Bill and Susan Cameron in their challenge to the utility’s right to rebuild the bigger, higher voltage line across their property relying on an old right-of-way. Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson issued an injunction against the power company on May 10, directing the utility to restore the Cameron’s property to its condition before the line was rebuilt or initiate condemnation proceedings. Lawyers for PotEd have subsequently filed notice of appeal on that ruling with the Virginia Supreme Court. Konick reported last Friday that he’d checked with Commonwealth’s Attorney Douglas Baumgardner on the possible conflict posed by his handling the Cameron’s case. “He said I probably did not have one because my position (as zoning administrator) is just administrative.” But Konick added that Baumgardner also represents a property owner involved in an adversary position with Potomac Edison so he might have a conflict of interest as well. As a property owner whose land is crossed by the rebuilt PotEd line, James Swindler said he too would abstain from considering the utility’s request on conflict of interest grounds. “My wife is the acting president of a group of homeowners opposing Potomac Edison so I feel I can’t participate in this,” chairman Lee Bird added. “I am privy to all her thoughts which go on at great length,” he remarked, eliciting chuckles from his fellow board members. Kenneth Nichols, the PotEd representative, explained that he was seeking only an extension of the oneyear building permit since the BZA had not specified an expiration date for the special use permit granted for construction of the new line in 1980. He questioned whether an extension was even needed for the building $ permit, maintaining that the waiver of a time limit on the special use permit carried over to the building permit as well. After checking the records of the 1980 action, the board concluded that in the absence of a specific directive, the one-year time limit on the building permit applied. Sharon Luke expressed doubt as to whether the permit could be reissued since PotEd had not filed a development plan for the original as specified by the zoning ordinance. Konick maintained that the requirement for a development plan does not apply to the type of construction involved in rebuilding the Luray-to-Sperryville line. Only the board of supervisors can waive that requirement, Luke countered. “I think the vicinity map submitted by Potomac Edison satisfies the requirement for a development plan,” Konick argued. “I don’t think there’s anything else for them to comply with.” Bird noted that with two of the four BZA members present abstaining on conflict of interest, the question was moot. “I would only object (on conflict grounds) if you voted negative,” Nichols joked. “What do you think my wife would do if I voted positive?” Bird responded in the same humorous vein. On a more serious note, he added that if the requirement for a development plan is found to be unreasonable in this instance, it should be waived by the board of supervisors. Pot Ed’s building permit expires July 13, the chairman continued. Since the project is tied up in litigation, the utility is not now working on the line so if the permit extension is tabled, it won’t affect construction schedules, Bird added. At present, work has been discontinued, Nichols acknowledged. “BuULdqrft know that we nlight not want to begin. There’s a legal question as to whether we have the right to begin,” he concluded.

Her near drowning has resulted in a bad cold, another common after-effect. Kock Mills was the scene of another July 4 incident - an auto accident in which the Washington crew assisted Castleton.

In addition, Konick noted that if the majority of the tract on which the tower is to be located has less than 25 percent slope, the zoning office would approve subdivision of a 25 acre lot, contingent upon the access road being improved to standards specified in the county’s subdivision ordinance. If a majority of the tract is over 25 percent slope or the road doesn’t meet standards, then the minimum lot size is 50 acres, the zoning administrator informed the communications company. Konick told the supervisors that he’d suggested the company wait until the new ordinance becomes effective before applying for a permit. Charles Estes, the board’s representative on the planning commission, relayed the commissioners’ position that the tower should be located on Chester Gap Mountain, already the site of similar communications equipment. Konick later explained that the tower is part of the MCTC line from Richmond to Winchester. “The service will not be available to anyone in Rappahannock. The only benefit it will provide to the county is additional tax revenue,” he said. In addition to the proposed tower here, MCTC is also seeking approval for a similar relay tower on Cedar Mountain in Culpeper, according to the zoning administrator. Utility Tax Adopted Neither local residents nor utility representatives showed up for the advertised public hearing on a proposed utility tax ordinance. Chairman J. R. Latham opened and closed the hearing all within a minute, before the board voted unanimously to adopt ttje one-half of one percent levy on gross receipts. The new tax, which will apply to telephone, telegraph, heat, light and power companies, is expected to bring the county $20,000 annually, according to accountant Wally Cox. Noise Complaints In what has become almost a regular agenda item, Claybert Smoot was back before the board to complain about noise, trespassers and other disturbances coming from the Community Center across the street from his residence on Fodderstack Road. At Wednesday’s meeting, Commonwealth’s At tomey Douglas Baumgardner again presented the supervisors with the option of dance hall ordinance, a solution to Smoot’s problems that the board has considered— and rejected—previously. Baumgardner explained that restrictions on noise levels and hours of operation would apply to all dance halls in the county, including dances held by the volunteer fire departments, and once again, the supervisors voted unanimously to drop the idea of a dance hall ordinance. The commonwealth’s attorney noted that excessive noise falls within the civil nuisance category and therefore outside the authority of his office, the board of supervisors and (Continued on Page 3) Question On Fraud (Continued from Page 1) involved have finished investigating and researching records),” Baumgardner countered. He added, however, that if the defense accepted the nol pros, that research would be dropped.

Curriculum Changes (Continued from Page 1) proved Chappell’s proposals, pending final word on the personal typing and computer concepts courses. School Board Chairman Beverly Massie complemented Chappell on his presentation and said that his proposal would fill a need she saw for some of Rappahannock’s students. “We do a good job of providing courses for the academically sound student and the below-grade-level student,” she said. “I think that sometimes the borderline student is neglected. These changes would address those needs.” “This is my idea of what a school board meeting should be,” Massie added. “We get so involved in nuts and bolts that we often don’t have time to consider the quality of education. This has been a pleasure.” Massie asked if the new math course offerings would allow movement between below-grade-level courses to the grade-level math courses as math skills improved. Chappell responded that this would be the case. “We need to tax our youngster to the maximum,” Chappell added. A Nation At Risk School Superintendent Robert Estabrook addressed members of the audience, many of whom had come to hear him speak on the report of the Commission on Education A Nation at Risk Saying that reports in the Rappahannock News that he would address the subject at the July school board meeting were the result of a misunderstanding of his intention, he added that he did wish to explain where he stood on the report, but that he would like to schedule a special meeting with parents to do so. “I owe it to this community to meet with an open agenda on this topic,” he said. “In doing this I will also offer myself as a target for any concerns that parents have.” Estabrook called on Booster Club president Nancy Schoppett and SPTA representative Barney O’Meara, both present at the meeting, to help provide a forum for this exchange. Beverly Massie told those present that they should arrive at such a meeting with positive suggestions for Rappahannock schools. “Let’s not throw stones or cast aspersions on past history,” Massie said. “Let’s think about what will benefit the children of Rappahannock.” Later, in response to a request from the audience, a meeting date of August 3 at 7:30 was set for this discussion.

While the Rappahannock School Board voted in April to allow the health department to park the trailer on school property, school superintendent Robert Estabrook reported Tuesday night that county ordinances prohibit the permanent parking of trailers and that the health department has asked the zoning board for an amendment excluding medical and dental facilities. Estabrook said, “We’re waiting to hear.” The dental trailer would serve school Tower (Continued from Page 2) the sheriffs department. He advised Smoot to first post his property against trespassers and then swear out a warrent if he is bothered by interlopers from the Community Center dances. Supervisor Estes added that Smoot should also consult an attorney on finding a civil remedy to his problem. Ag District The board forwarded to the planning commission an application for a 2,376 acre Agricultural and Forestal District around Red Oak Mountain. The applicants include H. B. Wood Jr., H. L. Manwaring, mary R. Jamieson,Natalie Emery, Weldon Burke, Maurice O’Bannon, Clifton Clark and Lacy Orange. Dental Trailer A proposal for a zoning ordinance amendment that would permit a dental trailer at the county elementary school was also forwarded to the planning commission for consideration. The amendment suggested by Dr. John Einarson, district health department director, reads: “No portion or provision of this ordinance shall prohibit a governmental agency from parking a trailer on government property for the sole and express purpose of providing medical or dental services.” At present, the ordinance allows trailers only in mobile home parks or by temporary permit from the board of zoning appeals while a residence is being constructed. Einarson told the board that the U.S. Public health Service will use the trailer to provide reduced cost or free dental treatment to adults and children who meet income eligibility criteria. Salvage Rights In response to a claim from Baugh Construction Company, contractors for the renovation of the county jail, Baumgardner advised the supervisors that the county holds title to materials salvaged from the job. Thornhill Endorsed Following an executive session with Bob Tudor from district extension headquarters in Warrenton, the supervisors unanimously endorsed Birgitt Thornhill for the post of agricultural extension agent for the county. Previously Rappahannock’s home demonstration agent, Thornhill has been filling the agricultural slot since the retirement of Rap Owings last April. According to Thornhill, a new home demonstration who will also handle the county’s 4-H programs will be hired.

In other business, Estabrook offered an update on construction of the new bus shop and school board office. What the administration is waiting for now are the windows. Estabrook reported that he has been “assured that the windows are in transit” and added that he hopes they will arrive next week. Estabrook said three offices will be carpeted once the windows are installed. Otherwise, everything is ready for the move from the present offices at the Elementary School. School board member Nelson Lane volunteered to attend the Virginia School Board Association summer conference on July 20. Lane attended last year and says he hopes to bring back an informative report. In the first school board meeting of the 1983-84 year, new board member Paul Nichols was absent, but Massie told the board and the audience that his absence was due to a commitment made prior to his school board appointment. Part of the organizational business was to elect officers of the board. Beverly Massie was voted chairman; Nancy Reeve, vice-chairman; Pam Rowe, acting clerk until an assistant superintendent is found; Robf ert Estabrook, deputy clerk, Beverly Massie, Piedmont Representative; and Paul Nichols, Educational TV representative. Estabrook reported on the final cafeteria balance— figures in the black for both the high school and elementary school operations. “We’re very proud of Judy Burke and her staff,” Estabrook said, prompting a question from Sharon Kilpatrick in the audience as to the cost of school lunches next year. Estabrook replied that that issue needed further study. Another question from the audience came from Bruce Vierling, who requested that students be able to take^iersonal typing before their senior year, since it would benefit them in their academic and personal life. Massie replied that the board as well as the administration would be flexible in their assigning of students to courses. After an executive session, the board voted to hire Yount, Hyde and Barbour to audit the activity fund, appointed Kim Chesson as cheerleader sponsor, Kathy Hewitt as a ftill-time music teacher, and Elizabeth Gehringer as study hall aide. The board also voted to release Shelley Wolfe from her contract pending the availability of a new math teacher.

ASCS NEWS By TOM TAYLOR July 15, 1983 is the final date for reporting all spring seeded crops. This is also the final deadline for reporting Conservation Use Acreage (CUA) for those participating in the Acreage Reduction Program or the Payment-in-Kind Program (PIK). It is very important that you report your crop acreages and CIJA by the July 15th deadline. Failure to report Conservation Use Acreage will result in liquidated damages to those par ticipating in the PIK Program. All farmers are urged to file an acreage report (a “ZERO” report should be filed for farms that have a base crop) whether or not you are participating in a farm program. Reported crops acreages are used for history purposes. Don’t wait until the deadline to report your crops. Stop by the ASCS office and report the acreages as soon as plantings are complete. AIDS No Threat To Donors The Red Cross Bloodmobile will be at the National Guard Armory on Waterloo Road in Warrenton on Thursday, July 21, from noon to 6 p.m. The Fauquier Chapter which serves Fauquier and Rappahannock counties has set a quota of 100 units (pints) for this blood drive. Red Cross officials report that blood donations are down markedly due to a misplaced fear that donors can contract acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) from contaminated needles. Medical authorities emphasize* one fact that should put to rest any donor’s fear of getting a disease by giving blood: needles used by bloodmobiles are one-time use instruments and are discarded after that use. Less than three percent of the population of Fauquier and Rappahannock counties have been giving blood, some donors many times. In the fiscal year that ended June 30, fewer than 1,000 people in this area donated blood. That number will have to be increased by several hundred if the Fauquier Chapter is to meet its quota for the 1983- 1984 fiscal year of more than 1,400 units. 1 use more electricity in your home!

Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, JULY 14,1983 More Important Than Money Two recent articles in the Rappahannock News that at first seem unrelated together tell a story of priorities and community values. Last week our Richmond correspondent, Sean Adams, wrote about a commissioned report on the relative stress of Virginia counties, stress being the taxation borne by a community compared to its ability to pay taxes. When this test was applied to our county, Rappahannock topped the list. Of all counties in the commonwealth, we tax the least compared to our collective income. “A job well done,” we can hear the community saying to the supervisors. By frugal management and common sense, our leaders have made living in Rappahannock a financial blessing. Property owners are free to buy more property, more cars, more stereos, more meals at the Inn or whatever they think is a worthy expenditure of their money. Are they free to pay for a decent education for their children? No—the supervisors won’t let them. And until recently, it appeared that quality education was a ho-hum topic among parents as well. In the last few months, though, we’ve been hearing some rumblings of discontent. Every day, parents stop by the Rappahannock News to ask which supervisory candidates would most strongly support reasonable expenditures to improve education. Of course, it’s not up to us to answer that question. The candidates will have an opportunity to make their stands in public forums. And in the two districts where the race is contested, education is the major issue. This brings us to the second article we mentioned above, published two weeks ago in the Rappahannock News. In response to the school board’s request, we analyzed the report that’s getting so much mileage in the national press. In A Nation At Risk, a national commission concluded that American education is far from good. It didn’t recommend anything remarkable, simply that today’s youngsters be required to get a basic education, very similar to the education most of us got before the days of electives (which now make up 25% of the high school curriculum across the nation) and there be tougher standards for advancement, graduation and college entry. It might help to reflect for a moment on the purpose and meaning of money. Thrift is a virtue inasmuch as people refrain from spending money on useless pursuits and direct their buying power towards expenditures that increase the quality of their lives and the lives of others. A reluctance to spend money in areas of great importance belongs under the heading of greed, the love of money for its own sake. Here in Rappahannock we get along without a lot of government services. Communities usually solve their own logistical problems and cultural, historical and recreational activities are organized by conscientious private citizens. But no matter how conscientious, most parents can’t realistically provide a quality education for their children without help from all of us. Greed, not thrift or frugality, is what makes us begrudge them that help. Our Rappahannock Heritage -If.*.- ■oAtf. —Rappahannock News Photo/T.

Just the titles of these reports—“A Nation At Risk,” “Action for Excellence” and “Making the Spare Parts: An Unexplored Avenue Of International Policy By EUGENE McCARTHY Rappahannock News (iucst Columnist The power of spare parts as a force in international trade and in the conduct of foreign policy is not fully realized or exploited by our international traders and diplomats. This would not be the case if they were familiar with the ways of Rappahannock County. Philip Booth, a poet, has written in a poem called “Maine,” “When old cars get retired they go to Maine.” He then describes them “thick as cows in back-lots” and grazing “behind frame bams”. Obviously Booth was not familiar with Rappahannock County. Not all old cars get retired to Maine. Many end their days here in the county lined up in salvage yards, waiting for another war, or for an order from the Japanese abandoned in thickets, in gulleys, in the yards of farm buildings; some still up on blocks, a sign that hope died slowly; some still resting, empty husks, under the oak branch that held the block and tackle that lifted out the engine to serve another chassis or dismantled for good spare parts. Old Engines never die a sudden death in Rappahannock, nor do they fade away. They disappear in parts, until only heavy pieces remain, like buffalo bones. Even those who drive cars of a higher order in the county worry about spare parts. One who has just bought a Mercedes Benz, second hand, assures me that he has a guarantee of spare parts from the German manufacturer. In the course of a week’s casual reading with spare parts in the back of my i Poet, author, fanner U. S. Senator from Minnesota and candidate for the presidency, Eugene McCarthy now lives in the F. T. Valley near Slate Mills. mind, I noted two references which underscore the importance of spare parts in international relations. The first was a report out of India, in which the Indian government charged that the United States has been holding up the supply of spare parts for India’s Americanbuilt atomic power plant in order to force India to conform to United States desires on nuclear arms. The Secretary of State has subsequently allowed the spare parts to be shipped, whether for diplomatic reasons or in fulfillment of the original sales contract, the press does not report. A second news story bearing on the significance Of spare parts has come out of Cuba whose economic minister acknowledges, that whereas most of Cuba’s trade today is with socialist countries, Cuba must do at least 100 million dollars worth of trade with the Western nations, including, indirectly, the United States, in order to get the spare parts necessary to keep machinery in working condition. There is something to be said for poor worksmanship and planned obsolescence. The missed opportunities for using the spare parts, new or used, as a force in our international affairs are numerous. For example; in the 1950s, Russia had reached an agreement with the Ford Motor Company for the construction and operation of a Ford plant in Russia and with the Firestone Rubber Company to build a tire factory in Russia. Both proposals were stopped by our State Department when John Foster Dulles was Secretary of State. Had the projects gon through, the Russians by now might be hooked on the automobile as we Americans are. If so, because of the cost of the automobile culture, their military potential would undoubtedly be reduced significantly. They would also need spare parts. And quite possibly, Russians driving Pintos of the original design, especially vulnerable when struck from the rear and riding on highly unstable Firestone 500’s, might well develop a serious sense of uncertainty, possibly even an inferiority complex, and even lose their militant spirit. In the years since the end of World War II, the U. S. has continued to be a major arms supplier to the world but the power of spare parts has not gone unnoted. That power has been used only modestly and relative only to conventional or nonnuclear arms, such as tanks in Pakistan and airplanes in the Middle East. One or two of the heavy nuclear thinkers of our time are coming closer to recognizing the potential of spare parts relative to nuclear weapons. Henry Kissinger, with some support from other thinkers, proposes that in order to break the deadlock on nuclear arms negotiation and reduction, Russia and the United States should agree to do away with multiple war head missiles. The new rule would allow only one bomb per missile. A further extension of this rule might be that there should be one launcher per missile, with an additional agreement that neither country would make spare parts for their own missiles or launchers. To further improve international relations, the two countries might agree to get their spare parts, possibly even their launchers and missiles, from the other country (This would be an act of great trust) or they might agree eventually not to have either missiles or launchers but only spare and replacement parts. Old missiles and old launchers might be sold or given to backward countries who have no bombs. This would set up a condition close to that described in these words by the Russian poet Andrei Voznesensky, in a recent poem about cueing up in Russia. “I am 47th for spare car parts (they signed me up at birth) Number 1000 for a new car (signed up before birth).” Grade”—give some insight into the crisis in education in this country. How does Rappahannock County measure up on this issue? The record is mixed. Our Pop-Quiz team did quite well in competition with other schools and the recent SRA test score results were encouraging. On the other hand, we have recently witnessed drastic cuts in the school budget which have resulted in failure to hire another math instructor, inability to adopt the index pay scale and another delay in solving the critical space needs at the high school. This is particularly ironic in light of your last week’s article, “Rappahannock Tops State In Ability To Tax.” Based on the 1981-82 fiscal year, Rappahannock was ranked first of 136 counties in Virginia in terms of “least fiscal stress,” a measure of the capacity to raise taxes combined with the choice not to do so. A number of Rappahannock citizens have expressed concern and consternation about the supervisors’ cutting of the school budget. In fact, this local action got national exposure in James J. Kilpatrick’s column of May 12, when he wrote: “Our county supervisors... identify with the small farmers (who) abhor higher taxes, and while they care for thenpublic schools, they don’t care for them very much. In point of fact, our taxes are embarassingly low.” Clearly any increase in the school budget will have a direct effect on the tax rate since the school budget comprises the majority of the county’s expenditures. The group of Rappahannock citizens is forming to address this issue and bring it into public focus prior to the November elections. Many of us are willing to have a reasonable tax increase to support specific improvements, such as upgrading curriculum, adoption of an index pay scale and a modest facilities expansion at the high school. An excerpt from the recent “Action for Excellence” report published by the Education Commission of the United States says a great deal: “There are few national efforts that can legitimately be called crucial to our national survival. Improving education in America—improving it sufficiently and improving it now—is such an effort. Our purpose is to reach as many citizens as possible and to persuade them to act. The facts on education and achievement in America have recently been gathered and presented by many different groups. What is needed now is to act on those facts.” I urge anyone who shares these concerns to join us in preparing and supporting a specific list of improvements for our schools. BARNEY O’MEARA, Slate Mills (987-8271) Congratulations To tne editor: Congratulations are in order to the 1983-84 Rappahannock County School Board! At their organizational meeting on July 11, business was conducted in an easy, friendly and yet totally professional manner. And, to the pleasure of both the school board and the audience, new RCHS course offerings for the 1983-84 scnooi year was tne ioremost item on the agenda. I support re-elected chairman Massie’s remarks that we, as tax paying parents, should forget any negativity of the past and move forward in a positive manner to better public school education. CAMILLE HARRIS Washington Hard To Vote to tne eauor: This coming November it’s going to be hard for me to vote for any candidate for any office who persists in slapping up stickers all over the county. These day-glo stickers are ugly, and putting them on Highway Department signs is not only distracting, it is illegal. If this action isn’t stopped now, the county will look like Rt. 1 south of Alexandria by November. ERWIN LESH Washington From Both Barrels Gen. Sherman And Gov. Robb By GEORGE BOWLES On June 5, 1884, Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman, who that year was widely hailed as the popular choice for the Republican presidential nomination, sent a telegram to the GOP Convention in Chicago. The message was to become as closely associated with his name as was the General’s march through Georgia. Wired Sherman to John B. Henderson, the convention chairman, “I will not accept if nomiated, and will not serve if elected.” A few weeks short of exactly a century later, on May 18, 1984, the Virginia Democratic Convention will be gavelled to order in Norfolk. Its main order of business will be to nominate a U.S. Senate candidate to oppose incumbent Republican John Warner. If Gov. Chuck Robb is to avoid receiving his party’s Senate nomination at that convention, he may have to put forth a statement fully as firm and final as Sherman’s. To be sure, Robb has already come close to issuing such a statement. He has told all and sundry that he will not be a candidate, that he has no interest in x mining 1U1 U1C OCIIdlC, and that he simply is not in the race. Among those to whom he has told all this is Warner himself. Still, the readers of tea leaves and animal entrails among Robb’s supporters detect—or think they detect—just enough of an escape hatch in his disclaimers to permit him, given the proper circumstances, to change his mind. One circumstance which they contemplate is a convention draft. The Democrats, of course, are by no means unanimous in their hope that such a draft movement could be engineered. If Robb were to enter the Sentate contest, the move would be laden with implications for the next year’s races for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general. There are presently three apparent candidates for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in 1985. They are Lt. Gov. Dick Davis, Attorney General Gerald Baliles and Del. Richard Bagley of Hampton. If Robb were to defeat Warner and resign the governorship, Davis would become governor and, under the State Constitution, would be eligible to run for re-election. He would be the first governor in modem Virginia history to be in such an enviable position. This would force Baliles and Bagley into the highly disadvantageous position of either trying to take the gubernatorial nomination from a sitting member of their own party or of seeking other avenues for their political ambitions. Bagley would likely run for lieutenant governor, which he is expected to do anyway if either Davis or Baliles ultimately wins the top spot on the ticket. Baliles, however, would be forced to choose between seeking a second term as attorney general or of stepping out of public life for four years and perhaps trying for governor in 1989. It is not considered likely he would be interested in running for lieutenant governor. If he should choose the second term option, it would probably derail, however temporarily, the budding aspirations of Del. Mary Sue Terry of Stuart, who is being mentioned with increasing frequency as a promising candidate for attorney general. All this, of course, raises the interesting, if hardnosed, question of just how hard the Bagley, Baliles and Terry loyalists would be inclined to work for Robb’s election to the Senate, considering the consequences of his early departure from the governorship. The Davis loyalists, on the other hand, could reasonably be expected to work very hard indeed for it. Still, in terms of conventional political logic, powerful arguments can be made for the Robb Senate candidacy. It is generally conceded that the Governor has “national political ambitions.” That, of course, is a euphemism for designs on the presidency of the United States. A Senate seat would be a bulk launching pad for such an undertaking, and his nexn opportunity to acquire one will not come until 1988jvhen Sen. Paul Trible will be up for re-election. A Robb resignation would install a Democrat in the governor’s mansion who, running as an incumbent, would be in the strongest possible position to turn back a determined GOP challenge in 1985. THe challenger, incidentally, could well be former Gov. John Dalton. And finally, whatever the merits of other announced and unannounced candidates, Robb would be far and away the strongest opponent who could be fielded against Warner. This is critically important to the National Democratic Party. With 46 Democrats and 54 Republicans now in the Senate, and with 14 Democratic and 19 Republican seats up for election, a recapture of the Senate by the Democrats is seen as a viable possibility. Without question, the national party will be working to recruit the top candidates in every state where these seats will be up for grabs. Thus Robb will be getting pressure to run from both within and outside the Commonwealth. Given these pressures, it will probably take an undiluted “Sherman Statement” to head off the draft winds which will be blowing through Norfolk next May. Robinson Aide In County Rep. J. Kenneth Robinson will be sending his assistant, William W. Pifer, to Rappahannock on Wednesday, July 20. He would be glad to talk with constituents who have problems of a federal nature (such as difficulties with the Social Security Administration, Department of Labor, Immigration and Naturalization Service, Internal Revenue Service, Office of Personnel Management, etc.) with which they need assistance, or who wish to relay their opinions on national legislative issues, or ■ simply discuss matters of concern. Pifer will be at the courthouse in Washington from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

Well, Irene S. Cohen, of Manhattan, and Michele £. lay, of Amissville, headed own Route 729 shortly afer the fireworks, but eemed to travel forever, until, instead of arriving at Jen Venue, they crossed the Culpeper County line. The ocial worker from the big ity suggested stopping for lirections, but the country jirl, who suffers from a case >f cussed stubbornness, cept driving into the darkless. Sooner or later, she insisted, Route 729 would iither hit a highway or reum to the Hitt home. Eventually, Miss Cohen was returned to Amissville by way of Rixeyville, Catalpa, and downtown Culpeper’s Main Street. Sleepytime tea sweetened with Gordonsville honey was served before bedtime. tveniuany, juay ana Donna Gail Hitt got Kerrie to the airport to fly to Florida to visit family. (Two days later, she had the flu; but by Friday, she was better. She says she misses Castleton; but she isn’t expected back until the 29th.) Meanwhile, having deposited Kerrie on the plane, Judy and Donna Gail struck up conservation with a man who was forced to change plans to take the same flight. He said he had to play Tuesday night. He turned out to be Gregory, the bass guitar player from “Earth, Wind, and Fire”. This was no novelty for Judy. She says celebrities are always meeting her at National Airport. For instance, there was the time she ran into Bob Hope... Speaking of celebrities, Shirley Frye Hitt makes no secret of the fact that Conway Twitty is her hero. She’s been known to hazard the traffic in the District of Columbia to catch his concerts. So it’s no surprise that she took Barbara Martin to King’s Dominion over the weekend to see Conway Twitty. (As you recall from our previous report, Barbara Martin bakes a chocolate eclair cake so delicious that people drool over it two weeks after it’s gone.) Next week, they’re going to hear Ronnie Milsap and Louise Mandrell, but you just know that won’t be quite the same as Conway Twitty. The horseshoe pitching tournament on which we reported last week has degenerated into a debate, which is the polite way of saying a quarrelsome, cantankerous, contentious, verbal dispute. Naturally, all this arguing is good natured. Anyway, Alan Knighting asserts that he can beat his father-in-law three times out of four and that this correspondent was incorrect in calling Mitch Hitt and Kenny Settle the clear champions of Castleton holiday horseshoe pitching. However, as we go to press, no public rematch is scheduled. Another contest has Castleton residents excited this week. Saturday’s tennis tournament at the home of Carol and Homer Henry attracted about 40 players from places as far as Washington, D. C., Washington, Va., Sperry ville, and Amissville. Host Homer Henry says Judge Snead and Ruth Baumgardner were the team to beat in mixed doubles. They did some pretty fancy racket work. The players drew numbers for partners. How many of the couples got together Sunday for another round, we don’t know. We have the results of another contest.

(May the Castleton correspondent from Amissville be permitted to drop objectively for a moment to cheer both brave fire departments, not only for their efficiency, but also for their good looks?)

Jim Thomasson, who has arranged this benefit event, said that the cost of $3 per item will cover a bonafide appraisal. Thomassen said that this appraisal doesn’t cover historical research and documentation, just the appraiser’s best judgement on what an item is worth. “This is especially helpful to those who are about to put some items at auction or offer them to an antique dealer,” Thomasson said. “It’s meant to give the owner a relative sense of the item’s value.” The professional appraisers on hand are ordinarily paid $50 per item for appraisal. They’re offering the proceeds of their services to the Rappahannock Associa tion For Arts and the Community. The Sperryville Flea Market will also be open as usual during the benefit activity. Applications Accepted The Virginia School for the Deaf and the Blind, a nonprofit, tax supported public school in Staunton, is now accepting applications for prospective students for the 1983-84 school term.

Descendents Of Corder Pioneers Return To Amissville For Reunion . . - m • ■ • • « n i A PaiuJam I? niMirnl llrnn _. in may, me border ram ily gathered at the Amissville fire hall, coming from as far away as Florida, New York and Kansas. The reunion marked a revival of a family relationship that has existed in Rappahannock County for almost a century and a half. In the early to mid 1800’s, John Corder, his wife Hannah (Way), and their 11 children lived in and around the villages of Flint Hill, Amissville, and Washington. Before moving to Rappahannock County, they lived just across the Rappahannock River (then called Hedgeman’s River) in Fauquier County near Fiery Run. In 1840, four of John Corder’s sons (Martin, Nathan, Vincent, John, Jr.) and one daughter (Sarah), moved their families to Missouri in a covered wagon train with other Virginians and became pioneer settlers of the “new” west. This year was the first time since 1840 that descendants of these five children of John and Hannah Corder had united with descendants of the other four brothers and two sisters who remained in Rappahannock County. One of the highlights of the visit for the Corder descendants was the old Corder cemetery near Amissville where John corner was Duneu in His son Elias is also buried there with his wife and some of his children. Another attraction was the monument in Washington which lists the name of Edward Corder as one who helped George Washington survey and plat the town. The Corder descendants also viewed the location of those properties where John Corder and his children once lived. On the tour was the Battle Run Baptist Church where Martin Corder was baptized and later became a deacon before becoming a minister. The John Corder family was respected and active in this area of Virginia. John had volunteer for duty in the Revolutionary War at 15 years of age and later served for three months in the Virginia Militia. He was a tarmer and land owner in his adult years. Two of his sons, Vincent and Nathan, were commissioners of the court in Rappahannock County. His son Martin was a Baptist minister and John, Jr. was a prominent farmer. Elias Corder was a large land owner near Amissville. Three sons, Alexander, Elisha, and Elijah, died early in their adult life. His daughter, Mary (Polly), married Daniel Jackson, a cousin of President Andrew Jackson. The First National ranged by Robert Gibson Corder of Richmond who lived most of his childhood in Amissville and who is descended from Alexander Corder, a son of John Corder. He has been researching the family history since 1975 and is still trying to fill in some gaps in addition to searching for the parents of the Revolutionary War veteran, John Corder. He has written two books on the Corder genealogy which are now housed in the libraries of the DAR and the SAR. Throughout his life, Corder has had a problem with his last name being confused with “Carder.” His research revealed that some things never change. His ancester, John Corder, almost lost his Revolutionary War pention because his name was carried on the Virginia Book of Settlements as John Carder. In various affidavits sworn to on his behalf, it was noted that John Corder’s last name was often spelled incorrectly as “Carder.” The Corder family historian welcomes any information as to the location of houses or property owned by his predecessors in Rappahannock County in the 1800s.
