Lane, Latham And Baldwin Win Luke Elected Commonwealth’s Attorney, Woodward Takes Sheriffs Race By UAt’HNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer John Henry Woodward took 46 percent of the vote to win the post of sheriff of Rappahannock County and Peter H. Luke coasted to victory in the commonwealth’s attorney race by a two-to-one margin, according to unofficial returns for Tuesday’s elections. In supervisor contests, Clarence Baldwin in Hampton and Nelson Lane in Stonewall-Hawthome won handily while incumbent board chairman J.R. Latham appears to have pulled off a five-vote squeeker in Jackson District. In the battle for the 26th district seat in the Virginia Senate, Rappahannock voters chose Republican Kevin Miller over Democrat Ernest Schlabach, 1,362 to 873. In the commonwealth’s attorney’s race, Luke topped David L. Konick in all of Rappahannock’s six precincts, the margin ranging from 15 votes in Chester Gap to a three-to-one edge John Henry Woodward Sheriff in Wakefield and Amissville. Unofficial totals give Luke 1,561 votes (65 percent) and Konick 825 votes (35 percent). In the four-man contest for sheriff. Woodward carried all precincts except Chester Gap where Martin Orfila, former deputy and Virginia State trooper, topped him by three votes. Totals were 1,124 for Woodward (46 percent), 625 for Orfila (25 percent), 513 for John Walker Jenkins (21 Peter Luke Commonwealth’s Attorney percept) and 175 for Mark Wittl (eight percent). Amissville was the final precinct reporting with its unofficial tallies coming in near midnight. Reportedly, the delay was due to several recounts of ballots in the contest for supervisor from Jackson District. Apparently, incumbent J.R. Latham has survived, a Nelson Lane Stonewall-Hawthorne challenge from “Butch” Zindel by just a slim five vote edge. Unofficial results show Latham with 226 and Zindel with 221. Hampton District incumbent Clarence Baldwin held off writ^-in candidate Diane Wood, a former school teacher, 365 to 131. In Stonewall-Hawthorne where incumbent H.B. Wood was not running for J. R. Latham Jackson re-election, Nelson Lane, the district’s current representative on the county school board, defeated Sean Kilpatrick, former journalist who now* runs a professional photography business and Christmas tree farm, by a three-to two margin, 301 to 191. Miller Unofficial Winner For the 26th district seat in the Virginia Senate, Re tlarence Baldwin Hampton publican Kevin Miller outballoted Democrat Ernest Schlabach, 17,841 to 12,091, according to unofficial results from all 29th district precincts. Based on those voting in the sheriffs race, voter turn-out in Rappahannock County for Tuesday’s election ran at 70 percent of those registered. Compared to the unofficial returns, a Rappahannock News poll conducted a week before the election called the winners in all but one race. The survey of two percent of the county’s registered voters found Luke with support from tit) percent of those* polled in his bid for commonwealth’s attorney; unofficial results give Luke 05 percent. The News poll showed John Henry Woodward, a current deputy with the Rappahannock sheriff’s department, ahead with 28 percent followed by Orfila with 21 percent, Jenkins with seven percent, Wittl with three percent and 20 percent undecided. According to unofficial returns, the four candidates finished in that order. The lion’s share of the undecideds apparently went for Woodward, upping his percent of the total vote to 40. The News poll gave Kilpatrick a slight edge over Nelson Lane for StonewallHawthorne’s board seat — 50 percent to 10 percent with 10 percent undecided. Unofficial returns show Lane with tit) percent, Kilpatrick with 119 percent and write-in candidates H.B. Wood (three votes), Kim Bruce (one vote) and Mary Botts Quaintance (one vote) together accounting for one percent. Sot* page 12 for complete unofficial returns. The survey indicated Latham could rest easy about his odds for re-election as the incumbent board chairman led Xindel by a threet<»-one margin. The poll found Latham up tit) percent to 20 percent with another 20 percent undecided just a week before the election. According to the unofficial results, Latham’s apparent margin dwindled to just over one percent on Tuesday.

The curtain rises on the bard’s classic comedy directed by Don Bomberger at 8 p.m. This is the first Shakespearean play to .be presented by the RCHS troupers. A Midsummer Night’s Dream is the tale of four Anthenian lovers. Their romances complicated by conflicting attachments, they meet in the woods at night. When Puck, a devilish spnte, lends a hand to smooth the tangled affections, a merry chase ensues. Complicating events in the woods is another lovers’ quarrel between King Oberon ant^ Queen Titania of the (Continued on Page 9) Veterans Day Closings In observance of Veterans Day, Friday, November 11, state and county offices, post offices and banks will be closed. Rappahannock’s public schools and most businesses, including the Rappahannock News, will remain open. Black Out! Potomac Edison spokesman Jim Poffenberger says the two incidents that left residents of Washington, Woodville and Boston without lights Monday night and Tuesday afternoon were not related. The separate problems simply affected the same circuit. A fuse disconnected due to overheating Monday evening at the Sperryville substation, according to Poffenberger. Utility com1 pany workers had the fuse repaired within approximately half an hour leaving local homes and businesses in the dark from 5:48 until 6:32 p.m. Poffenberger said 1,432 customers were affected. Tuesday aiternoon s outage affected fewer consumers because it didn’t hit all of Washington, Poffenberger said, adding that Woodville and Boston were without power both times. Tuesday’s black-out resulted from a traffic accident on Route 211 near Sperryville. Poffenberger said a tractor-trailer carrying apples had collided with a power pole causing electricity to be disrupted from 2:06 until 2:47 p.m. Rappahannock News Photo/D Hutchinson ‘THE PLAY’S THE THING”—And A Midsummer Night’s Dream is the play this weekend at RCHS.

For Secondary Roads Askew Warns Revenue, Manpower Decreasing By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Resident engineer Don Askew prepared the audience at Monday’s hearing on the county’s six year secondary road plan for “no” answers to requests for improvements. “Three or four years ago, Rappahannock County had a half million dollar budget (for secondary road maintenance and construction). Last year, it was $306,000. For the first year of this six year plan, it’s $270,000 and we’re allocated $210,000 for the last year of the plan. . . Even with the recent gas tax increase, the revenue for road improvements is ever decreasing,” The resident engineer for Rappahannock and Fauquier also noted that the State Highway Department is under a mandate from the General Assembly to reduce its forces. “So construction has been definitely curtailed,” Askew said, adding that he will attempt to spread available funds around the county, “trying to do the most good for the least amount of money.” With that gloomy introduction, supervisor chairman J.R. Latham called the roll for complaints and requests from Rappahannock’s five magisterial districts. From Hampton District, Doris Donald asked that Route 622 beyond the Nationwide Pentacostal Evangelistic Association’s campground be widened and paved, that right-angled curves be eliminated and that improvements be made to “two miserable bridges.” She added that cars have run off the road on a narrow section near the top of Aaron Mountain. The Worst Road “It’s the worst road I’ve been over during 6‘/2 years in Rappahannock. . . People speed on it just as much as if it were blacktopped,” she said, of the narrow, winding gravel road. In response to requests to the Highway Department for improvements, “all we get is bandaids,” Donald said. “Our time has about come.” After reviewing a list of improvement projects recently completed elsewhere in the county and complimenting the Highway Department’s efforts, William F. Donald repeated his wife’s request for blacktopping Route 622. He recalled a near accident in which he thought his van would over(Continued on Page 2) Ag Districts And Land Use: County’s Salvation or Ruin? Opponent Say AFDs Destroy Solvency The Rappahannock supervisors heard impassioned pleas for and against use value taxation and agricultural districts as they considered an application for the over 2,500 acre Red Oak district at Monday’s public hearing. . . „ .. . < Ag districts are “contrary to the general public interest...and in particular, destructive to the fiscal solvency (of Rappahannock County),” charged Robert Eastham. He described the applicants for the Red Oak district as “all honorable men...They just want to save a little money.. .and that’s okay if it doesn’t hurt others and if it doesn’t hurt Rappahannock County.” (Agricultural and forestal districts may be created by the local governing body upon application by landowners who agree to restrict development on their land for the life of the district, set for four to eight years by decision of that governing body. In return for that commitment, qualifying property within a district becomes eligible for use value taxation. Virginia’s General Assembly passed enabling legislation for ag districts in 1976 as a tool for local governments to use to preserve, protect and encourage agricultural industry.) Eastham maintained that approval of ag districts has set the county on a “dangerous course.” Land use taxation afforded in the districts will have a negative impact on Rappahannock’s revenue raising ability just when demands for services and improvements to the schools “threaten to explode under our feet,” he said. Perpetuates Deferrals The county’s general land use taxation ordinance grants tax deferrals, Eastham continued, while ag districts perpetuate those tax deferrals “a long, long time into the future, no matter what the board of supervisors may choose to do.” He said that the local governing body may repeal general use value taxation (whereby qualifying property is taxed at its use value for agricultural, horticultural and forestal production as opposed to worth at fair market value for development). But, Eastham emphasized, if general land use taxation is discontinued, the preferential assessment program will continue in ag districts for the life of those districts. Last year, he recalled, the preliminary county budget called for a tax rate of 58 cents per $100 of assessed value. “The supervisors worked frantically and managed to bring that down to 42 cents.. .still a 82 percent increase and they managed it by practically freezing the county’s budget,” Eastham said, asking the board members if they will be able to continue to hold spending at that level. “You cannot eat your cake and have it too,” he said, arguing that approval of ag districts will erode the county’s tax base. He charged that the applicants are seeking appro(Continued on Page 12) Supporters Say Aid In Keeping Taxes Low “I challange anybody—and I’ve boon doing this for throe years with no takers—to find mo one county that has given up on agriculture and sought industrial, commercial or residential development and lowered its tax burden. There isn’t one!” Frank Reynolds, Rappahannock resident and staff attorney for the Piedmont Environmental Council, told Rappahannock’s supervisors at Monday’s public hearing on the proposed Red Oak agricultural and forestal district. “Long term commitment is the key (to preserving Rappahannock’s farming industry),” Reynolds said. “That’s the reason why you want ag districts. He told the board that farming is the top industry in Rappahannock and most surrounding counties. “No one suggests taxing other industries out of existence or out of their profit range.” Addressing the issue of fairness in taxing policies, Reynolds cited a study in nearby Loudoun County done in 1980 that showed income versus service demands from different segments of the tax base. Local taxes on residential, property amounted to $:« million; on industrial/commercial property, $6 million and on farm land (with 45 percent of'assessed worth deferred through use value) $5 million. On the other side of the equation, residential property demanded $47 million worth of services (schools, water and sewer facilities, police, etc.) “That’s 1!) percent more than residential properties brought in in revenue,” Reynolds pointed out. Industrial/commercial properties used $1.8 million in services, a favorable balance for the county, he noted. Farm properties required $541,000 in services—“ten percent of what farm land brought in so that’s a 90 percent surplus.” According to Reynolds, the financial picture is roughly the same in Rappahannock and other rural Virginia counties. “Residential properties are not paying for themselves and the cost has to be born by somebody else...The contribution of the farming community is practically equal to all the rest of the industrial/commercial complex combined. Talk about fairness—you can see where the fairness lies.” Services Not For (lows And Trees Reynold told the supervisors that the reason for the county’s high property values is the rural, agricultural character of Rappahannock, its farm land, forests and open spaces. “What do we need taxes for? Schools. Cows and trees don’t need schools. Cows and trees don’t need jails or fire and rescue or police service. It’s the people in the houses who need those things. Water and sewer? It’s the same thing. It’s people who need those services, not cows and trees.” Using figures from Loudoun County again, he presented statistics that showed tax bills on farms soared 600 percent between 19611 and 1972 while taxes (Continued on Rage 12) Trip To Luray Schools A Success By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock New« Staff Writer School superintendent Robert Estabrook says the trip to Page County last Thursday “went very nicely.” Estabrook and four school board members visited Stanley Elementary School and Luray High School to see renovations to the old buildings: The board was looking for ideas of ways to make better use of existing Rappahannock school buildings. Estabrook says the tour was conducted by Page County School Superinten dent James Campbell and the project director Bob Crewes. Randall Updike, who is recovering from recent back surgery, was not able to accompany the group. School board chairman Beverly Massie says the group saw “very interesting innovations.” Both schools are about 50 years old, according to Massie. The renovations had modernized them for more efficient use of existing space. Massie particularly commented on how the old gym at Stanley had been converted into a multi-level library with the former stage now used as an audiovisual center and reading lab. Estabrook says the old gym was snlit and decked into two stories with the bottom for the library and classrooms and four more classrooms on the top. “It was very nicely done,” he said. The other aspect that met with praise from both Estabrook and Massie was the high school cafeteria. Now a three purpose area, it houses the basketball court, stage and cafeteria. Massie was also impressed with the easy-care flooring in the room. Estabrook pointed out that the Page County plan of redesigning existing space could help solve the same problem . Rappahannock presently faces — restricted cooking and eating space in the cafeteria. Estabrook added that the gym in Rappahannock needs improvement because of its “restricted seating capacity” and the need for more space on the playing court. When the present gym was built in 1959, he says, it was designed for dif(Continued on Page 2)

If it had turned over, it would have been goodbye old man Donald.” He noted that as a driver in the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), he transports elderly people to doctor and dentist offices and travels over many of the county’s back roads. “You’re doing a nice job,” Donald told the resident engineer. “But you could put a little blacktop there (on Route 622).” Askew noted that rightof-way has been donated and work is already underway to widen portions of the road. But the Highway Department has specific policies that govern hardtopping, he added. “It does take a traffic count of 50 vehicles per day under state law. . . And all (blacktopped roads) must have a 50 foot donated right-of-way. . . At last count, you had 35 vehicles per day on your road,” he told the Donalds. “So it’s not possible now to blacktop it.” Slate Mills Road Sean Kilpatrick from Stonewall-Hawthome presented a list of suggested improvements to Route 707 at Slate Mills with signatures on petitions supporting the requests. He acknowledged that revenue shortages probably preclude replacement of the one-lane concrete bridge, “a local terror.” But to decrease the safety hazard there, he asked that the road at the long, uphill “S” curve '/. mile west of the bridge be widened and the curves softened. “There’s a steep dropoff and no shoulder, no guard rail," Kilpatrick said, adding that the landowner who holds the property on both sides is reportedly willing to donate the necessary right-of-way. He also requested erection of a sign warning of the “S” curve and relocation of the one-lane bridge sign to give adequate warning. Halfway down the “S” curve, Kilpatrick continued, the Highway Department has built a concrete boxed culvert. He asked that a grate to added across the top and a warning reflector installed. Julia Gordon noted that the Highway Department had improved Route 681 with a culvert and raised road as requested but without a safety guardrail there, motorists face a danger on icy roads of sliding into the river. In addition, she requested removal of the tree in the middle of Route 681 at Church Hill. The tree creates a blind spot for drivers in the summer and when roads are icy, presents a danger to cars that may slide into it, she said. Mrs. Frank Neal from .Jackson District asked whether the Highway Department realized a savings on spot work as opposed to improving an entire section of road. “And you’re still not doing the job,” she added. “We do spot improvements because we don’t have the money to do the entire job,” Askew replied. “A little bit here and a little bit there. Hopefully, one of these days we can tie them all together. . . But frankly, I don’t ever see us getting back to the good road building days of the early 70s.” Clear Ditches Frank Neal suggested that the Highway Department hire a full-time employee to travel the rightof-way and keep roadside ditches cleared. When the ditches fill and water spills over onto the roadbed and then freezes, the surface is damaged, according to Neal. "Keep the ditches open and you won’t have so much trouble,” he advised. Askew' agreed that cleared ditches are the secret to maintaining good Trip To Luray Continued from Page 1 ferent rules. Now that “fast break basketball" is played, there is not enough space between the in-line and the outside wall. “It’s not really a legal size gym,” Estabrook says, adding that more outof-bounds space is needed. Besides seeing such innovations, Massie says the board learned some of the pitfalls possible in letting bids, especially the importance of “careful planning to avoid change orders” which can increase the cost of a project. Massie felt the money had been spent wisely and that the Page County solutions to space problems are “something well worth thinking about, rather than going to complete new build ings. We were very pleased with the work we had seen done,” she .said. The projects were done under the same architect with two different contractors, according to Massie. During the 13 month construction period from September of one school year until October of the next, class schedules were never disrupted, Page County officials told Massie. The construction workers were conscious of safety factors, doing any possibly dangerous tasks — such as using torches — wThen students were a\yay from the affected portion of the building. Both administration and students “took a great deal of pride in the project,” according to Massie. roads. “We’re doing more ditch work now but as far as adding a new man. . .” The resident engineer reported that the maitnenance force for the Fauquier-Rappahannock residency stood at 130 three years ago. “Today I’ve got 87,” he said, explaining that the reduction is due to the General Assembly’s mandate. “And along with that (reduction), we’ve had 22 miles of interstate highway added for maintenance. But even with the 33 percent drop in manpower, ditch clearing efforts will improve, according to Askew. “We’re getting machinery that will make ditch clearing easier than the prison method.” Carson Johnson was the only speaker from Piedmont District and he had only compliments for the road crews. “I think our highway people have done an excellent job. In Piedmont District, they’ve just completed another badly needed bridge.” Johnson said he’d noticed more attention to ditch clearing “which has kept our roads in much better condition over the last couple of years. ” With no addition comments from the audience, chairman Latham closed the public hearing on the sixyear secondary road plan. “We’ll look at the requests. . . and analyze what we can do,” Askew said. “But the six-year plan really boils down to a wish list.” I WANT TO THANK ALL THE PEOPLE WHO INVITED ME INTO THEIR HOMES, WHO HELPED IN MY CAMPAIGN, AND ESPECIALLY THOSE FAITHFUL FRIENDS WHO STOOD BY ME DURING A VERY DIFFICULT TIME-1 WILL NEVER FORGET YOUR KINDNESS AND SUPPORT WHEN I REALLY NEEDED IT.

He may, for example, have to leave the city for important business. He can then, if he wants to, appoint an agent to handle things for him. This agent is called an “attorney-in-fact” and acts under what is legally known as a “power of attorney.” This individual could be Realtor or attorney. He acts for the seller. Under the power of attorney, the agent can convey property. He can execute a mortgage and its assignment, extension, or satisfactibn. With a power of attorney to make a sale, he can sign the deed on behalf of the owner. When a person appoints an agent to act under a power of attorney regarding real estate matters, this fact must be recorded in the county where the property is located. The reason for this is so that the purchaser may know the agent is duly authorized to act for the principal (seller). The agent cannot delegate HIS authority unless he is expressly authorized to do so. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M.

General District Court Charges Dismissed in Accident By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock News Staff Writer GLzed eyes at three in the morning is not “probable cause” to arrest for driving while intoxicated. That was the decision of Judge John Alexander during the November 1 session of general district court when he dismissed DWI and reckless driving charges that state police brought against Kimberly Jean Gibbs of Washington following a September 25 single car accident. When police arrived on the scene, Gibbs was waiting on the passenger side of the car and said she had swerved to avoid a deer which had darted in front of her as she was driving south on Route 522, according to trooper Harry Newlin. Gibbs told him the accident had occurred half an hour before and that she had gone home to call the police. Gibbs admitted to having a glass of wine three hours before at a class reunion and submitted to a blood test which showed just .10 percent alcohol level, which is the dividing point to determine legal intoxication.

Choreographer Sally Nash says the title of her new piece of “dance/theater" is taken from a poem by Steve Orlen. Nash says she was inspired “to create a piece which explored the many possible uses of my personal movement vocabulary. It is a departure from my usual way of working in that the movement was not drawn from the dancers, nor is there any attempt to tell a story. I think that it is best seen as a tapestry—a dense interweaving of texture, form, shadow, rhythm and feeling.” Park Visits Down Latest figures released by assistant superintendent Bill Loftis shows a continuing trend in decreasing visits to the Shenandoah National Park. Exactly 32,200 fewer people visited the park last month than during October, 1982. The visits were down 10,000 in September. The latest monthly travel report from the park’s information service shows 365,100 total visits during October, 1983, compared to 397,300 during the same period last year. This is a decrease of 8.1 percent. Overnight stays also were down with 52,374 reported for last month, compared to 55,482 in October, 1982. To date, the calendar year visits are closer.

OFFICE: Rappahannock News Bldg Washington Va 22747 HOURS 8 30 a m to 5 30 p m Mon Fri Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company inc Member Audit Bureau of Circulation Thursday, November 10,1983 New Hampshire Waits By EUGENE McCARTHY Rappahannock Special News Writer Presidential straw votes are being taken. Polsters, both amateur and professional, are polling. Political experts, real and pseudo (the differences are hard to define) are commenting, predicting, and second guessing, impartially, both other experts and themselves. Endorsements are being sought and given. But all of these are but preliminaries to the New Hampshire primary which is scheduled to be held early in 1984. Just how early is still subject to dispute, possibly to settlement in a controversy between the Democratic National Committee and the state of New Hampshire. The party wants to push the date farther back into 1984. New Hampshire insists on not only being early, but in having a decent distance between its primary and the next one, and has gone so far as to defy the National party by saying at one point that no matter what date is set for primaries, New Hampshire will hold its primary earlier, possibly even in late 1983. Most of the Democratic candidates are siding w:ith New7 Hampshire against the National Committee, saying that what New Hampshire wants is what they want. « This respect for the New Hampshire primary and concern over it is a little puzzling. The nation on the record does not go as goes the New Hampshire primary. The New Hampshire primary is a high risk venture. More candidates lose in it than win. This year, if all the Democratic candidates nowin the field go to New Hampshire for the primary test, six out of seven will certainly not win! ' Winning is not all, however, in the N. H. primary. A candidate can win the primary and be declared the loser. Or he can lose or run behind another candidate and be declared the winner. A candidate can go into the winter of the N. H. pri 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. marv as well known politician and he lost forever, as in the case of George Romney in 19(>b. He can go in relatively unknown and emerge as a political force. The important thing in N. H. primaries is not heating your opponents but beating the odds or the point spread of the political experts. Thus in the contest between Senator Muskie and Senator McGovern in 1972, the experts said that Muskie, principally because he came from neighboring Maine, had to defeat McGovern decisively. As I recall, they said he had to get HO percent or more to have a meaningful victory. Muskie did run ahead of McGovern, but he did not beat the point spread and was called a loser by the press. Actually, he should have been given say a ten point handicap because he was from Maine. Robert Frost, in writing in one of his poems of relationships among neighbors in New England, said, "good fences make good neighbors." The fences between Maine and New Hampshire are not all good. Disagreements are significant, even in some seemingly unimportant things as the treatment of porcupines. In Maine they are protected. In New Hampshire there is a bounty on them. There are other uncertainties about the N. H. primary which are not fully understood by candidates who enter it. Some of the issues that might go well in other states or in other seasons of the year do not ride well in the cold of February in New Hampshire. New Hampshire is a modest state, not known for exorbitant or tall stories. It is suspicious of promises. It does admit to having the highest mountain, Mt. Washington, but only as highest in the lowest mountain chain in the country. The state tree is a simple, with any adjective, birch. New Hampshire is always on guard, especially in the winter time. It does not trust anyone with much power. One of the smallest states in the union, it has the largest number of members in its state legislature of all the states. It is hard to find a single issue resident. Most persons in New Hampshire can do at least two things and therefore have dual interests. Signs along the road indicate such combined talents as digging and cabinet making — one job for summer and one for winter — and in the case of women, alterations and preserves. Although New Hampshire is a careful state, law and order is not a serious problem. Its government finances itself largely with revenue from taxes on the vices or near vices of visitors from other states. It taxes beer and hard liquor, tobacco, betting on horses. It taxes hotel rooms and restaurant meals, and runs a state administered lottery twice a year. A candidate in New Hampshire has greater need for a driver skilled in driving in snow and on ice than for a good press man or political advisor. Except for its prolonged cold and its effect on New Hampshire residents, the Rappahannock environment is not very different from that of New Hampshire, nor is the spirit of the people. Possibly we should develop a Rappahannock primary as the first in the nation or as the most significant. This Was The News In Bygone Rappahannock Times... 20 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS A Rappahannock native son came through a close political race for the state senate a winner, when Senator Curry Carter edged his opponent Winston B. Wine by a narrow 212 votes for the seat in the Staunton area. Senator Curry w’as brought up on Gay Street in Washington. Carson B. Johnson was elected as justice of the peace in the Piedmont District with 135 votes polled and Margaret Compton was reelected justice in Hampton with 149. It was the 14th anniversary of the Rappahannock New s, but the editors said they w'ere so busy w ith election coverage, they “forgot all about it and did not have time to celebrate” until the following week. The first issue of this paper, they recalled, was published on November 3, 1949. It was the fifth paper to be published in the county. Another Rappahannock News was first printed in 1877. Then came the “Blue Ridge Echo” in 1878, followed by “The Call” and then “The Blue Ridge Guide” (1886-1936). 10 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS D. French Slaughter, Jr., incumbent for the House of Delegate’s seat in the 25th district, held a very wide margin over his opponent for reelection. Slaughter received 835 votes in Rappahannock, to 177 for Maddox. In the county election, Mrs. Frances Foster had no opposition for the position of treasurer and polled a total of 1,092 votes. A proposal to raise dog license fees was before Rappahannock supervisors. The schedule would raise fees from $1 to $3 for male dogs and from $3 to $5 for females. The money would go towards making the county “dog fund” a break-even proposition and to pay the dog warden who said he hadn’t received any money since March. The controversial measure was scheduled for a December public hearing. "The Little Fox,” a popular cartoon character who appeared in the News in those days, celebrated his third birthday. Our Rappahannock Heritage l J Letters To The Editor Kids, No Peanuts To the editor: It was a beautiful day for the yearly house tour and dried flower sale in Washington. Everyone had their finest wares displayed and, for the most, their finest manners polished up. But, there's always some rotten apples in the barrel that spoil everything. Such was the case that Saturday when the seventh grade students from Rappahannock Elementary School were out trying to sell peanuts to make money for their annual Williamsburg trip. The attitudes of the so-called adults were rude, abusive and anything but polite. One group of children was even cursed. There was even a sign displayed on a door: “Kids, no peanuts!” Come on, people. What happened to all that support we, as adults, are supposed to give our children? After all, they look to us for support and guidance. JUDY M. HITT Castleton Extraordinary Service To the editor: As a new resident in the country and a person who has been concerned with the health of children for most of my professional career I have been delighted to serve on the Board of Directors of the Sursum Corda Day Care Program. In a recent issue of the Rappahannock News, the Board of Directors published the annual statement of income and expenditure for the Day Care Center for the community to review. Sursum Corda provides an extraordinary service to Rappahannock County for young children. It is the only Day Care Center in the county offering a wide range of services for a rural area such as this. It allows parents to return to work and feel secure about the care of their young children. The program is one not only of day care but education, an environment where children can learn and grow with confidence. I have been struck by the cost effectiveness of the program. In similar settings, although in more urban areas, the cost for similar care is substantially greater. For children under two, a typical fee is .$21 per day whereas at Sursum Corda it is $11.43 per day; for children ages three to five a typical cost is $r> per day whereas at Sursum Corda it is $8.SI per day. The Center runs on a shoestring budget and is very dependent upon income from fund raising and community support. I know this at times may feel like a burden to some and we are forf ever looking for more ’ creative ways to finance the program. Unfortunately, massive cuts in federal budgets that formerly provided support to programs such as Sursum Corda have made it imperative that we reach out to private foundations and others. This is an ongoing struggle but for a worthy goal. Sursum Corda has obviously come a long way since its beginning in 1976 in the basement of the old Washington Post Office Building and is almost halfway towards the goal of raising enough funds to provide a new facility insuring a licensed program and better and expanded services for the community. I feel proud to be a part of the Child Care and Learning Center - Sursum Corda team. I have worked in the field of Child Development as a Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at Georgetown University for almost two decades and have a strong interest in the emotional well-being of young children. Sursum Corda stands as an important landmark in the growth of our county. The operation of a day care center is a major effort for any community and requires all of our support. I am glad to be a part of this effort. PHYLLIS R. MAGRAB, Ph.D. Flint Hill Boosters Appreciate Boost To the editor: The RCHS Booster Club would like to express out utmost appreciation to the following people who helped the “Friendship Follies” become an overwhelming success: Dawn Fisher, chairperson whose remarkable energy and organization made this fundraiser possible: Bernice Pearson, the talented and sensational lady who can put a musical production together in 24 hours with the help of the terrific Young Dominion group; all the wonderful parents and citizens who labored in the kitchen, worked during the 24 hour production, donated delicious food and/or performed their marvelous talents on stage; Mrs. Piper, principal, and her staff for their graciousness in the use of the elementary school; patrons for their generosity; and all other persons who supported the Booster Club, the “Follies”, and most of all, our children.

LAURIE MARSHALL Project Coordinator Reagan Responsible For Deaths To the editor: Mr. Reagan wants to determine who is responsible for the maiming and killing of over two-hundred human American lives in Lebanon. Well, Mr. Reagan, you and your administration are responsible. The six marines killed previously in Lebanon should have been enough! First Lebanon, now Grenada, just where does Reagan’s gung-ho attitude end? Reagan didn’t want to sign a bill making a national holi (lay for a fine black leader such as Martin King, yet he sent our troops to be killed to a black-occupied island that over half the world has never even heard of. If Reagan has turned the killing of over 200 young men in the prime of their lives into a political plus, then the plus is supported solely by the military. The Russians are coming, the Russians are coming! I’m beginning to wonder just who is the most dangerous to our America — the Soviet U nion or our own wonderful Republican administration. I think this president should put his brain where his brawn is! Remember, Mr. Reagan, when you wrake up, this is real life, not one of your nickle and dime movies. All those young men aren’t getting up and walking away off camera. THELMA MUNDY Sperryville -From Both BarrelsVirginia Is For Lovers By GEORGE BOWLES It’s not exactly the kind of issue which would be likely to topple nations or empires, but Virginians, durihgAhese balmy autumn days, are sharply divided over a question of considerable moment. That question is whether or not the Commonwealth’s well-known tourism motto, “Virginia is for Lovers,” should be abandoned as a part of the state’s new travel promotion theme, “These Are Exciting Times in Virginia.” The answer, at least in the view of the travel industry, is a matter of no small consequence. Tourism is, after all, the state’s second largest industry (after manufacturing). It generates about $13.3 billion in business per year, or about 1.9 percent of the total amount spent annually on travel in the nation. At a conference in Richmond last week attended by state and business officials concerned with tourism development, Gov. Chuck Robb called for a substantial increase in the size of Virginia’s slice of the travel pie. He said the Old Dominion should be attracting at least 3 percent of the national total. This would hike the industry’s business to $5.2 billion per year and bring in a badly needed $84 million in new tax revenues. Ur. Betty Uiener, the ^ Secretary of Commerce and Resources, declared the governor’s goal “achievable and realistic.” Her secretariat is responsible for travel promotion. Industry spokesmen agreed, provided the state would do its part. They presented a 10-point shopping list of proposals, the main thrust of which was a call for more aggressive support of tourism by the Commonwealth. Some of their ideas were constructive, but some, such as their suggestion that the state push for parimutuel betting and a state lottery, received a cool reception from the governor. He noted that these might be resisted by the legislature. The state is, however, beefing up its tourism promotion program, and that is the genesis of the “Lovers” versus “Exciting Times” debate. The “Virginia is for Lovers" slogan has been around for more than a decade. It was introduced by Gov. Linwood Holton, and was an instant hit, both within the state and across the country. In recent years, however, its official status has become submerged as other mottos and catch-phrases were tried by tourism promoters. These included, “Love is where you find it” in 1979, “Virginia - More America to the mile” and “Virginia is yours to Love” in 1974-78, and more recently, “Yes, Virginia” in 1980. In spite of these efforts, however, the Old Dominion slipped behind as a tourist haven. From 1972 until the present, Virginia’s travel industry grew from just under a billion dollars a year to the present $3.3 billion figure, a more than three-fold increase. But the rest of the nation grew from a total of $14 billion to $56 billion, or nearly five-fold. Also, over the past decade Virginia dropped from number one in the nation in public investment in tourist promotion to number fifteen. All this, Ur. Uiener said, made her mad. In order to correct the situation, a study was commissioned early this year to find where the problem lies and to recommend remedial action. Among the study’s findings was the conclusion that, as appealing as the slogan might seem, "Virginia is for Lovers” does not have drawing power when it comes to bringing in the tourists. “We found,” said Dr. Diener, "that New York’s ‘I love New York’just overwhelmed and surpassed ‘Virginia is for Lovers’.” The consultants recommend that the slogan be phased out and replaced by the new tourism promotion theme, “These are exciting times in Virginia." The new theme is being boosted by $2.4 million in state advertising this year, up one million from the last fiscal year’s figure. In the meantime, a new study has been commissioned to take another look at the “Virginia is for Lovers” slogan. “If we still find it has no value," said Diener. “we will all get together and give it a nice little farewell party.” Dr. Diener says some negatives are already showing up, and some of them are funny. “One person said the ‘lovers’ slogan seemed to suggest that Virginia is a nice place for casual sexual relations, or a nice place to go with people of the opposite sex,” she explained. “At least," she laughed, "the perception is straight from a romantic standpoint." Wellk, knowing Linwood Holton’s slightly irreverent sense of humor, it is not unthinkable that the mildly suggestive tone of the slogan might possibly have occurred to him. In any case, anyone who finds something salacious in the “lovers” slogan would probably find the “exciting times” theme downright kinky! With all due respect to Dr. Diener, who is approaching her job of building tourism in a rational and thoroughly professional way, it would appear that her willingness to banish the slogan is a mite too rational. Surveys, schmurvays! Some things can’t be measured by polls and interviews. The “lovers” slogan is probably far better known than the official state motto, “Sic Semper Tyrannis!" What Virginian travelling in foreign climes has not thrilled at seeing it on a bumper sticker! "Virginia is for Lovers” has a mystical quality. It says it all! Let’s keep it! Dinner A Success To the editor: The Sperryville Ladies Auxiliary would like to report that our pre-Thanksgiving turkey dinner held at the fire hall on November 5 was a huge success. We appreciate everyone who supported us. Without the backing of the community, we wouldn’t get anywhere. We also thank all the candidates who attended. Whether they were winners or losers in this election, we can assure one thing: everyone who attends our benefit dinners is a winner. Diners came from Harri sonburg, Flint Hill, Culpeper, Washington, Slate Mills, Boston, Woodville, Amissville and the Sperryville area. They know we always have something good cooking. Again, we thank everyone. MARIE ATKINS Auxiliary President

A WHOLE STAGEFUL OF PEOPLE was the result when 40 Rappahannock students at the “Friendship Follies.” Rappahannock News Photo/M. May the Young Dominion met more than View From The Wings By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock News Staff Writer Standing stage right to see the Friendship Follies Saturday night gave a different slant of the Boosters Club fundraising extravaganza. It was a backstage show about a show being produced. “Smile!” was the last word each performing Rappahannock student heard before running out under the bright lights to join The Young Dominion in the opening number. Sometimes they forgot to smile or muffed a few words, but for the most part they moved smoothly through the two hour show — from the time Julie Burke belted out “That’s Entertainment” until the full past — 36 participants of The Young Dominion including Julie Burke and Tara Fisher from Rappahannock, 40 more Rappahannock students and 14 local adults — sang “America” on a stage crowded with red, white and blue — and star-spangled smiles. It wasn’t always so smooth in the wings as it seemed out front. “Is ‘Amazing Grace’ before ‘Hobo’? one student kept asking with increasing consternation as he changed his clothes three times to keep up with the conflicting responses. The first time they had done the w'hole show7 in sequence was Saturday night before the big audience. There was only a large list posted on the wall to keep track of the numbers, each song checked off with a magic marker as it ended. But the kids couldn’t have done better had they been on Broadway. The special audience favorite was Marie Davis alone in front of the curtain with that huge, warm gorgeous voice singing “And I’m Telling You Where I’m Going.” She would have hit 100 on the applause-o-meter. She was also popular pushing Peter Pan Peanut Butter during a segment of television commercials. Another great moment was when half a dozen of Rappahannock High School’s biggest and brawniest boys galloped on stage riding stick horses and singing “Long, Tall Texan”. The horses with heads fashioned from stuffed socks were a little hard to handle — they wanted to run away with the show. And of course, everyone was sitting in silent amazement when high school principal Bob Chappell sang “Oh, Shenandoah.” His talent had previously (too seldom) been displayed in school talent assemblies, and it was a treat to hear him again. The other adults acted out a spoof on the old folk song “Frankie and Johnny” narrated by Steve Scoggins, who doubled as the judge. Other stars in this cast were Brad Fisher as Johnny, Pat Davis as Frankie and Nancy Tribino Schoppet as the infamous Nellie Bly. Other outstanding players were Paul Nichols as the bartender with the bad news. Bob Dennis as the somber undertaker who carried away poor Johnnie, and Barb Dennis as a bewildered and bewigged “floozie.” The show was directed by Bernice Pearson, an energetic lady who descended upon Rappahannock with laundry baskets full of sheet music for show tunes. She leads The Young Dominion over the year, taking them to shows in a five state area and to the Virginia State Fair in Richmond each year. The Young Dominion is a 4H performing arts group for students age 9-18. The group started in Fauquier in 1975 with just 14 members, the first of its kind in the country. The experience brings out the best in each, Pearson says — some are super in every way right from the start. Others “can’t carry a tune in a bucket with a top on it” but can dance up a storm. She just doesn’t let them get near a live mike. They learn to be realistic about their abilities and to polish their best assets. Pearson spent Friday night and Saturday polishing the numbers to be presented by Rappahannock performers. They all learned interpretive dance, the lyrics to several country songs, and some basic costume design. By show time they were pretty confident and raring to go. Rappahannock students included in the cast were: Marie Davis, Bob Baines, Gennie Hickman, Kristi Clarke, Dawn Watson, Denise Shorb, Donna Fincham, Debbie Helmer, Jean Chambers, Kristie Johnson, Chris Barnes, Tara Fisher, Chan dra Eldred, Jeff Fudd, Jennifer Shorb, Anita DelGrosso, David Fisher, April Adams, Tony Clark, Heather Kilpatrick, Nikki David, Jon McCullough, Kelli Bristol, Donna Williams, Jim McCullough, Jimmie Freeman, Aney Massie, Julie Burke, Bonnie Grimsley, Denice Eidson, Doretha Butler, Leslie Rinker, Marie Roemer, Dexter Freeman, Jonathan Watson, Kristi Pendleton, Heather Blevins, Leslie Nichols, Jennifer Vierling, Kelly Brown, Roxanne Waterbury, and Pam Hickman. Proceeds from the Friendship Follies go to fund Booster Club contributions to the high school. This year the club is buying computer equipment and software for the math department. Members sold 112 pairs of patron tickets at $10 a shot to local businesses, individuals and civic groups. Boosters club president Nancy Tribino Schoppet says the show took in approximately $1,600 in total ticket sales but that expensed have yet to be subtracted.

Already they are loving school! Up and down the halls they say, “We love homework.” And in the classroom they say, “Oh, dear teacher, when can we have another wonderful test?” Ok, maybe we are just a tiny bit wrong. To cheer everyone up the seniors gave a dance and some weird people showed up on the dance floor. But then again, it was a costume dance. Only we were the only sane persons to show up in a costume. As girls’ basketball and boys’ soccer came to an end we remembered that when they first started out they had goals, both team and individual. They gave us a lot to cheer about. Speaking of goals, though it was a team effort when Rapp beat Wakefield in soccer, the winning goal was knocked in by Doug McCabe, our Panther player of the month of October. He got the pass from teammate Vince Caporuscio who is a nice puy but when we asked him who in their right mind would like the N.Y. Giants, he gave us an answer we couldn’t use. Lady Panther of the month goes to Melissa Turner for a 21 point performance as she reached a new scoring goal. The teacher of the month of October was Mr. Wayne Leavell who did not want an interview. Finally, don’t forget to support the play “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” coming to RCHS Friday and Saturday, put on by the mighty seniors and a great director named Donald Bomberger.

Amateur Rappahannock meteorologists have until Saturday to submit their pronostications to the Rappahannock News office. In other words, the editors are waiting for local residents to guess when it will snow. Each guess must be signed sealed and delivered or mailed to the News office by midnight Saturday. Participants are asked to give their phone numbers so they may be questioned regarding their successful secret techniques for forecasting snow. All entries will be hidden in the office until local weather experts on the lookout for the first flake decide it is time to read through the entrries to determine those weather wizards who should be properly honored in the pages of this publication. were Regents from Louisa C'ourt House, Montpelier Metzinger of Sperryville, Regent of the Chapter was among those present as and Golden Horseshoe Chapter. A guided tour of the museufn rooms began with the Virginia Room, a gracious dining room furnished with antique furniture, draperies and dinnerware. Lunch was served in the Banquet Hall, followed by a tour of Constitution Hall and the DAR Library. Mrs. Walter Hughey King, President General, NSI)AR addressed the group and related her many fond memories of Culpeper and the surrounding area. One of the judges is the Channel four weather watcher for the Sperryville area, Dennis Wingfield. He says he will notify the News staff as soon as the first measurable precipitation hits his yard—by telephone at two in the morning if necessary. For those who want to base guesses on past statistics, Wingfield has a few hints. The first measurable snow fell early in the morning of December 12 last year. It continued snowing through the day until there weas 4inches on the ground. Wingfield called it “a one shot deal." On the 18 there was no snow. On the 12 there had been a “trace"— enough to see, but not enough to measure in the official Sperryville rain gage. For those wishing a less scientific approach, the woolly bears have larger front end stripes this year w hich means the winter will be more wild in the begin ning and one ought to make an early prediction. And according to the “Mother Earth News Almanac” the average date of the first killing frost in the fall in Virginia is typically on November 10.

News From Castleton By MICHELE MAY K.ippahannock News Correspondent 937-4031 Now Wayne Fisher is at •he Fauquier Hospital with he doctors poking him and tying to find out what ails him — a process which juickly becomes boringfor a : 7-year-old. We hope he omes home soon. We were real glad to hear J. T. Woodward anwer the phone Monday night. Says he feels a lot beter, but being in Georgetown was like being iD another country. Still he -avs they took good care of him and he’s trying to do his best to follow doctors’ orders to slow down and take it easy. But that could get boring, too — he’s likely to take to the woods with a chain-saw and start chopping kindling just for the fun of it. They can’t take their eves off him for a minute. Nobody wanted to take t heir eyes off him Saturday night — it was a dinner party to celebrate J. T. and Melzie’s 37th wedding anniversary. All five kids were there and all nine of the grandchildren. Also attending was Nina Nethers of t’astleton. At Sunday dinner the usual brood was joined by Melzie’s sister and brotherin-law, Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Lutz of Orange and her niece Barbara Jean from Manassas. Tuesday was the really big day, though. John Henry had his campaign headquarters at Charlie and Fran Eldred’s in Washington while he was waiting for the returns. Tuesday Mary Tauss attended a going away dinner for Carmen Gortzalez. She is leaving the Rappahannock Mental Health Clinic to go into private practice. The party was at Lee Nettles’ at Banco. And Wednesday it was the Mary and Meg story hour at the library. They offered the first two of the fall series, held for pre-school children every Wednesday morning at ten from now until December 14. Mary and Brian had a quiet candlelight dinner Monday night — it wasn’t their anniversary. It was because the power was out. Maybe it had knocked the phones out, too and that was why so few people in Castleton answered their phones Monday night. Or maybe they had gone away to escape the final calls from the candidates. Or maybe they hadn’t seen the “Friendship Follies” and were afraid to pick up the phone and say so to Aunt Michele. A whole side of people were there, though — and if you didn’t you should have seen Nancy Schoppet as the infamous Nellie Bly. She was beautiful dressed all in gold spangles and like to make you die crying when Frankie shot Johnnie (played with pizzazz by Pat Davis and Brad Fisher). The “Follies” made half again as much money as last year and there were a lot more people wanting to be in it, too — so we guess Nancy will be doing it again next Woodville Area News By JUNE CLARK Rappahannock News Correspondent Phone 987-8827 Major and Mrs. Charles Grizzle of Fredericksburg were dinner guests on Saturday evening of Mr. and Mrs. Emory Conners.

As for Aunt Michele being in the chorus line of “floozies” — well, all we can say is that Sean Kilpatrick was watching her with a stern eye the next morning to make sure she didn’t wiggle her hips in the church choir.

r Jordan Picked ^4s District All-Star At the beginning of the girls’ basketball season, coach Theresa McLawhom described Karen Jordan, the Lady Panthers’ ace at forjyard position, as “awe' some.” Apparently, she made believers out of the rest of the Bull Run coaches as they voted the talented sophomore to first team all-district on Saturday. During the regular season, Jordan scored 192 points for an average of 12.8 per game, grabbed 91 rebounds, shot 65.6 percent from the free throw line, stole the ball 26 times, blocked seven shots and was credited with 30 assists. “She’s got a lot of talent — that’s pretty obvious!” said coach McLawhorn. “And the amazing thing is that she’s just a sophomore. Karen was double teamed, sometimes even triple teamed. She gained the respect of her opponents. They know how strong she is.” On her star forward’s attitude, McLawhom complimented Jordan for being “very conscious of team work.” The coach acknowledged that she’d had a few bad games. “And when she did, she lost her confidence. But she’s so young. That’s going to happen. “One thing for sure — I never held my breath when Karen went to the foul line. And if the game was tight, I could always count on her for a three-point play. When Karen knew she had to make them, the ball went through the net.”. Coach McLawhom also singled out Jordan’s ball handling skills.

She’s optimistic about Jordan’s future in basketball. “I hope — and believe — that she can take her talent somewhere in college,” coach McLawhom said. “She has two more years to grow, two more years to polish her skills, two more years to mature. ” Strasburg Dominates Names from the roster of the Strasburg Rams, tournament victors and winners of the regular season with a perfect 12-0 record, dominated the Bull Run all-star squad. The Rams placed Tammy Spence and Sophie Smith on the first team and Rhonda Gulick on second team. Also on first team with Jordan were Clarke County’s freshman sensation, Carla Holmes, who led the district in scoring with 280 points (20 per game average) and Denise Shuster from George Mason. Rounding out the second team were Karen Smitherman and Julia Wightman (Stonewall Jackson), Pam Hall (Manassas Park) and Jennifer Piercy (Brentsville). PATH Offers Workshop Parents of children in special education play a unique role in planning for their child’s schooling. Federal and state law and local regulations specify how parents can participate, but the actual process often becomes confusing and difficult to manage for the uninitiated. Parents who wish to be active in planning the education of their child must learn to understand their rights and responsibilities in that process. A parent support group, People Assisting the Handicapped (PATH), is providing a Parent Educational Advocacy Training Workshop on November 16 & 17 in Culpeper to teach parents their role in this process. Interested persons should contact Leslie Tharp at 547-2383 or Bruce Hoover at 825-8284 for registration information. The workshop will be held from 6:30 to 10 p.m. on Wednesday, November 16, and Thursday, November 17, at the Precious Blood Catholic Church in Culpeper. A $5 per person ($7.50 per couple) fee covers the training manual and refreshments. 1984 VOLKSWAGEN $1000 DISCOUNT ON SELECTED MODELS GODFREY V. W. 3031 Valley Awe. Winchester, Va.

Rappahannock News Photo (linger Pc its ALL-STAR AND ALL SMILE—Rappahannock’s Karen Jordan, first team Bull Run District. Panthers Downed By Stonewall Riding the emotional wave of their record breaking regular season finale, the Lady Panthers played with “great intensity” in the first round of the Bull Run District’s girls basketball tournament last Tuesday, coach Theresa McLawhorn reported. But that intensity wasn’t enough to defeat the Stonewall Jackson Generals, winners of two earlier battles with RCHS. “A coach couldn’t ask for any better —Theresa McLawliorn “They beat us by 20 points in both regular season games,” McLawhorn noted. “Last Tuesday, we stayed right with them in the quarter finals. It was a real team effort. Donna Atkins was our high scorer with 10 and Natalie Butler, Kim Settle and Karen Jordan each had eight apiece.” The Lady Panthers came up seven short, 40-47. “We even outscored them in the fourth quarter, Basically, we got beat in the second when they scored eight and we only got four,” the coach said. The Generals were seeded fourth in the tournament after finishing the regular season with an 8-6 record, tied with Clarke and George Mason behind Strasburg, 12-0 in district and 191 overall. “But Stonewall should have been the second place team (in regular season district play),” said McLawhorn. “They let George Mason beat them twice. Of course, that’s just my opinion,” the RCHS coach added.

Rap Lacking in Listing “Buying Virginia Products Helps Virginians" is the motto of the Virginia Department of agriculture and consumer services in its first mail-order directory of companies which will ship Virginia food for holiday gifts. VDACS marketing specialist Anna Atkins says the HO companies listed in the directory “all have one thing in common and that is a quality product. Most of them began as small family businesses. Though some may have evolved into large factory operations, they are still family-oriented and dedicated to quality.” The description might fit many Rappahannock County businesses as well, yet local merchants are conspicuous in their absence although the featured products are available here to Christmas shoppers. Apples, hams, smoked turkeys, wines, honey and lamb and wool goods all make super holiday surprises and Rappahannock residents don’t have to travel to Winchester or Richmond to buy them. Yet Rappahannock’s only listing is Flint Hill’s Farfelu Vineyard. Two area novelties listed are available in county gift shops and fruit stands. Those are the* sparkling cider produced by the Linden Beverage (Company and apple candies from Winchester’s Shenandoah (,'andy Company. Area companies which will ship gifts of “good taste” all over the country listed in the brochure are the Hudson Ham House and Rapidan River Vineyards of Culpeper, Harmony Hollow Orchard and (j. C. Hunter Apiaries of Front Royal, and Farfelu Vineyard on Route ♦147 in Flint Hill.

All this talk about “The blueness of the Blue Ridge and the greenness of the green pastures is jus’ a red herring,” Eastham claimed. The only green of interest to ag district applicants is “the green of dollar bills,” he said. He suggested that the applicants for ag districts guarantee they won’t apply for the tax deferrals allowed in the districts. “How many more do you plan to approve?” Eastham asked the supervisors, maintaining that over half the land in Rappahannock County is now covered by use value taxation. “If you must approve (the Red Oak application), I urge you to set it up for four years and let the governing body (four years from now when law requires that the district be reviewed) see if they are as wild for agricultural and forestal districts then as you are now...Do not tie your hands and the hands of future supervisors by carving this thing in stone for almost a decade.” “The key to this thing is the value for the different categories of lands in agricultural and forestal districts and land use,” countered Supervisor Charles K. Estes, disputing Eastham’s claim that, once approved for eight years, an ag district is cast in stone. The State Land Evaluation Advisory Committee (SEEAC) recommends assessment values for tjie different categories of property in an ag district. The local commissioner of revenue is not bound by law to apply those “recommended” values but, according to Rappahannock’s commissioner Merle Scoggins, if the values are changed, it’s up to the commissioner of revenue to provide rationale and defense for the new values. The assessed worth for different categories of land here is currently based on SLEAC’s recommended values in effect when Rappahannock’s use value taxation program was adopted. SLEAC raised its recommended values substantially this year. Estes maintained that Rappahannock should follow that example and up the assessed per acre value for the different categories of land in the use value program under agricultural districts. “I’m for that. They don’t need this big tax break. However, the only time it can be done is in the year of a reassessment,” Estes said. Rappahannock is currently due for another reas s Destroy Solvency sessment next year. Later in Monday’s agenda after the public hearing on the feed Oak ag district, the supervisors were scheduled to take up a proposal for requesting a one or two year delay in the scheduled reassessment . But whether the reassessment comes in 1984, 1985 or 1986, the board isn’t bound to the assessment values now in effect for the different categories of land in ag districts, Estes noted. “YOU KNOW we don’t have to live with this for eight years down the road,” he told Eastham. “It’s not as you say it is. These things can be changed.” The supervisor acknowledged that Manwaring’s tax bill and the tax bills of others in ag districts may have dropped this year. “But if we bring these values back in line, their taxes will go up,” he said. Pointing to Eastham’s claim that ag districts approved for eight years are cast in stone for that same period, Estes said: “When facts go astray, you should straighten them out.” Charles K. Estes’ motion to approve the Red Oak district with a second from Hubert Gilkey passed unanimously, 4-0. Supervisor H. B. Wood abstained on grounds of possible conflict of interest since he was one of the applicants for the district. Other property owners include J. Laurence, Edward, James, Bernice and H. Laurence Manwaring, Janice Burton, Mary Jamieson, Natalie Emery, Weldon Burke, J. Maurice O’Bannon, Clifton and June Clark, H. B. and Julia Q. Wood, Lacy and Ruth Orange, William Hancock, Roberts Owen and John Schafer. The board also gave unanimous 5-0 approval to a tag-on to the Jenkins Mountain district. Supporters Say Aids In Keeping Taxes Low (Continued from Page 1) on single family residences went up 20 percent. If farm land is taxed too high, it causes an “impermance syndrome” among farmers, according to Reynolds. They sell off acres to pay their tax bills and that reduces the critical mass necessary for a successful agricultural industry plus that land is developed, creating a demand for more services and higher taxes to build schools and pay for water and sewer systems, he said. Opponents of agricultural and forestal districts and use value taxation who say that tax deferrals and preferential assessments afforded qualifying land owners are unfair and destructive to the county’s tax base are “out of touch with what the real value of RapThank you for your support and the opportunity to continue to serve you as The Clerk of the Rappahannock Circuit Court Diane Bruce l)uk / p< )litic( il <k k 'cnisi 7> irnt AUCTION n Saturday, Nov. 12th 10:00 A.M.

He presented the supervisors with information he collected last Friday from commissioners of revenue offices on current tax bills on an $80,000 house: Rappahannock—$336 Fauquier—$472 Culpeper—$472 Stafford—$968 Prince William—$1,112 Loudoun—$904 Fairfax—$1,176 Manassas Park—$1,520 Reynolds noted that taxes are higher in urbanizing counties trying to attract commercial and industrial development. “They’re moving from agricultural to residential communities. It happens all over the state, all over the country. Taxes go up.” Reynolds acknowledged that the supervisors will face knotty problems at budget time every year. But by protecting and encouraging the county’s farming industry, the problems here won’t be as difficult as those confronting governments in urbanizing counties that have given up on their agricultural base, he concluded. Heads Above Water “I didn’t anticipate an attack on the whole system or accusations that we’re trying to avoid our tax responsibilities in this county," said H. L. Manwaring, one of the major landowners involved in the Red Oak district application. "We’re trying to keep our heads above water...There is a national effort to keep lands in agricultural and forestal production. If it doesn’t succeed, millions of acres will be diverted to development, parking lots and roads, reducing the agricultural base of this country.” If farmers are forced to pay land taxes on the real estate value for speculative development rather than on the land’s value in agricultural production, then farmers will have to look at their property from the stand point of development, Manwaring said. “We could do a lot better if we sell our land...But soon we’d have Rappahannock County as a bedroom community for the towns around us rather than an agricultural county and a place of beauty.” By banding together ti form agricultural districts, farmers are “trying to avoid the necessity of selling their land for real estate development,” he concluded. Sean Kilpatrick noted that the county has a goal of discouraging subdivision development. To achieve that goal, “we have a stick in the form of a zoning ordinance, a carrot in the form of land use taxation and agricultural districts,” he said. With ag districts and land use, “we try to make it possible for farmers to keep on farming and not have to sell their farms for subdivisions.” He acknowledged that as a tool for preserving and protecting agriculture, neither is perfect. “But it’s the best we’ve got and we ought to take advantage of it...If we don’t want to see apple orchards bulldozed into subdivisions, this is a tool we can use.” 15% Of Taxable Value Tamara Vance, representing Piedmont Environmental Council, noted that Rappahannock may well have one-half of its total acres receiving use value taxation, as Robert Eastham reported. “But that (one half of all the acres) is only 12-15 percent of the taxable value of real estate in your county,” she told the supervisors. While open, unimproved land doesn’t generate as much revenue as developed property, its share of the tax burden is increasing at a faster rate because of rising land prices, Vance said. She reported that, according to local realtors, “the value of unimproved land has increased much faster than the value of a house and lot or a house in town.” Therefore, farmers are facing “the greatest relative^ pressure” from rising land prices, she said. To relieve that pressure, localities can afford farmers the benefits of use value taxation in return for a commitment not to develop, Vance told the supervisors. The county likewise gains through that commitment “because development is expensive,” she added. “Rappahannock County is among the ten lowest counties in the state in per capita government cost," Vance reported, attributing that ranking to lack of development here. “Formation of agricultural and forestal districts encourage the preservation and protection of farms, forests and open spaces that underly and determine the rural character of this unique county,” PEC’s representative concluded.
