Rappahannock News, December 13, 1984

T • Board Gels Report On Land Use The Board of Supervisors on December 3 were advised in a memo from Commissioner of Revenue Merle Scoggins that taxable real estate value declined by nearly $2.5 million due to eligible land-use applications. Since 1982, landowners in Rappahannock who meet certain criteria , can have their land assessed for taxes on the basis of use rather than fair market value. Taxes can be reduced if the land’s use is designated as agricultural, forestal or horticultural. ‘This is the lowest loss we’ve had in land use (since the program began),” Mrs. Scoggins said. Decreased taxable value leads to less revenue coming into county coffers, which could make an increase necessary in the real estate tax levy, now set at $0.50 per $100 of assessed value. “Agricultural land actually requires less money for upkeep than anything else,” Mrs. Scoggins said, adding that she believes land use is “good if it’s not abused.” Land-use taxation helps property owners keep huge parcels of land for the uses specified: land that otherwise might be broken up and sold off in smaller parcels. The people who receive a land-use classification have to continue to use the bind in the way it qualified or a roll-back tax will have to be paid,” Mrs. Scoggin said. “We shouldn’t have too many more applications coming in now since most of the owners who are eligible have already filed.” • Where Example Is Best Teacher Parents who read to, with and in front of their children promote lasting reading habits and skills, according to Lynn Hilleary-Myrtle, a fourth- grade teacher and certified reading specialist at Rappahannock Elementary School. Mrs. Myrtle says the example set by parents is fundamental to the priority children place on reading while they’re children and later in life. December has been designated by Governor Charles S. Robb as “reading month” throughout the Commonwealth. This year’s theme is, “Virginians are reading...for literacy, leisure and lifelong learning.” A series of articles related to reading in Rappahannock public schools appears on this page and page 3. Lynn Hilkary-Myrtle ii i could encourage parents u» reaa more onen to uieir cnuaren, then I’ve accomplished my task,” Bln. Myrtle says. Among the items parents read in front of their children to set a good example: newpapers < magaainae and the Bible,Hr». Myrtle says. • Donkeys May Bray The Answer Donkeys may provide an answer to the longstanding question of how to protect Virginia’s 190,000 sheep from dog attacks, reports Birgitt Thornhill, Rappahannock County extension agent. According to Mrs. Thornhill, animal specialists at VPI are using donkeys to patrol two animal-research stations in the state, and the results are encouraging. The reason: Donkeys simply don’t like dogs. "They chase them. They bray. They do just about anything they can to get rid of them,” says VPI Sheep Specialist Steve Umberger. • Community Caroling Dec. 23 The community youth group, which is sponsored by the Washington Baptist and Trinity Episcopal Churches, have set Sunday, December 23 at 7 p.m. as the date and time to go caroling in the Town of Washington. Individuals and families are encouraged to join the singing, which will begin at the Washington Baptist and culminate with refreshments at Trinity Episcopal. "All you need to bring is a flashlight and a warm voice," Reverend Steve Seoggin says. This annual event is for all ages. For more information, call Reverend Seoggin at 675-3336. • Miller, Slaughter To Visit State Senator Kevin Miller (R) and congressman-elect French Slaughter both have scheduled stops in Rappahannock this Friday, December 14. Senator Miller will be at the courthouse in Washington from 2 to 3 p.m. The purpose of his visit is to speak with constituents who have any concerns relative to state government and the 1986 General Assembly, which convenes January 9. Congressman Slaughter is scheduled to arrive at the courthouse at 3 p.m. on Friday, and plans to stay until 8:30. Mr. Slaughter publicly will thank Rappahannock residents far their support November 6. He also hopes to discuss any concerns constituents may have in preparation for activities of the 99th Congress. Mr. Slaughter carried Rappahannock County in his Seventh District race with Democrat Lewis M. Costello andlt.E. Fraser. • PEC Wants Moratorium Continued The Piedmont Environmental Council (PEC) recommended on December 7 by unanimous vote of its Board of Supervisors that the current moratorium on uranium mining and milling in Virginia be continued indefinately. In a press release issued the same day, PEC board members concluded “that despite more than three years of public inquiry at great expense to the taxpayers of the Commonwealth, there is no convincing evidence that uranium mining and milling can be conducted in Virginia in a manner that ensures the present and future safety of Virginia’s residents and environment • Highway Safety ’Tis Seasonal, Too The Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department has joined forces with state and federal law enforcement agencies to encourage motorists not to drink and drive this holiday season. In a press release issued Decemhar 10, Sheriff John Henry Woodward said special precautions against drunk driviiw must be taken “while we all attend holiday celebrations and parties.7 Among the safety tips offered by the Sheriffs Department: Accept drunk driving as “everyone’s problem.” Let family members, friends and others know who can be called or counted on to drive for people who’ve had a few. The department also suggests anyone driving accept the feet that the other guy might not do the right thing. Wear a seat belt and be prepared to avoid an accident situation as it develops. Last year alone, drunk drivers lolled 19,500 people, injured another 660,000 and cost society an estimated 324 bilbon. Read On ‘Every Month Is Reading Month’ For Reading Teachers By JANE BANGLEY December has been designated Virginia Reading Month by Governor Charles S. Robb for the third year, and the Rappahannock schools have special plans for the month to encourage students to read. However, Layne Schaeffer, a remedial reading teacher at the elementary school said, "To me every month is reading month.” A reading competition is being held at the elementary school, and the student in each room who reads the most books from the school or classroom library will receive a new paperback book on December 18. The winning students will select their books from paperback collections. Schaeffer teaches remedial classes in reading from grade one to three, and her 37 students are referred by classroom teachers or test into the program. Schaeffer said that she tries to make learning skills like phonics Am by putting them into games or puzzles, and the students have free reading during four out of five days when they can pick their own magazine or book to read. “Every six weeks we have a reading contest for second and third graders,” Shaeffer said. HI plot their progress on charts, and they can win books or a record and book as prizes.” Schaeffer said that she has seen a lot of progress in her students, and especially the first graders. She graduated in May from Radford, and she said that she is “eryoying teaching because I can concentrate on reading and I can help the students quickly with problems.” Reading is receiving special attention at the high school, too. Several high school groups are planning activities for Reading Month. Social studies classes will be reading books, newspapers and magazine articles on social issues and problems, current events and historical topics. The students wjU then make reports and critiques J# share with their classes. The school library will sponsor a RapfMiaaaoct New* PfcotcVloa Heddtartoa Reading Lab teacher Bobbie Brochu listens to reader, sixth-grader Kassie Earley. book exchange for students to bring a book from home to trade for any book on a specific shelf. Volunteer students have made bookmarks that will be given to each person checking out a book, and the volunteer students also made bumper stickers with reading themes for display throughout the building. The Future Homemakers of America at the high school will be holding “Christmas Storytime” for kindergarten classes beginning on December 19. Club members will read Christmas stories to the kindergartner^' several times during the month- Students in English, social studies and reading classes will have time for reading en richment, and will give reports on books read. Deborah Mills is the remedial reading teacher at the high school, and she and her aide, Liz Eastham, work to make reading easier and more ergoyable for their students. They use the High Intensity Learning System that allows students to work at an individual pace on reading comprehension, word skills, grammar and oral reading. Students are also to read three books every six weeks, and they give an oral report and written report to Mills on each book. “We try to encourage students to read, and they don't have to readacertain book,”said Mills. ~ “We try to add things that are different that will make them think.” One of the different programs Mills began last year with much success is a letter-writing campaign to entertainers. The students pick the people they want to write to, and they ask the entertainers for personal items to auction off at the end of the year. The students earn money, or points, through the year by reading books and making reports so that they can bid on items they want at the auction. Mills said that so far this year entertainers like Loretta Lynn, Tom Selleck, Alabama, the Statler Broth*, era, and Journey have sent boeks, boms, a necklace sf Mt buckle, (Continued on Page 16) School Board Discusses Roof. Budget By JANE BANGLEY KawahaniMcfc Nm Staff Writer The Rappahannock County School Board expressed its concern over the delay in repairs to the elementary school roof at its meeting on Tuesday. The Board had expected to have the r roof repairs completed at the end of the session’s first month, but Superintendent Robert Estabrook told the Board that only 40 percent has been finished to date. The Board authorized Estabrook to contact Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke about the legal implications surrounding the contract with the roofing firm. The time limit set forth in that contract has been exceeded, and the Board will withold payment on some roofing bills until the matter has been resolved. The Board heard some requests from teachers during the time for pub ["‘Sure, I’ve Been Good’ lUppdMaaocfc Newi nmo/Jaa Baaglqr Sonya Lee Anderson gazes intently at Santa Claus as if to convince him that she has indeed been a good girl this year. Santa visited with 18-20 children Saturday at the Washington Cash Store. Skippy Giles, owner of the store, said that Santa’s visit has been an annual event for the last three to five years, but that he is not sure if the store will continue to offer a visit with Santa due to the low number of participating children. lie input into the 1985-86 budget. Susan Bloss represented the Rappahannock County Education Association, and told the Board that some of the RCEA members had sent in their requests by her. Bloss told the Board that a new backdrop curtain is needed for the stage at the high school, and that the estimated cost of the curtain would be 12,000. Bloss also said that another video tape machine is needed at the high school along with a television and stand to present taped programs. Lynn Baines, an elementary school teacher, told the Board that cuts in last year’s projected instructional funds had caused problems for the teachers. “I would like for that item to be full fledged this time and not half way,” said Baines. Estabrook explained that the instructional funds had been cut in order to fund the gifted and talented program that came into being after last year’s budget was adopted. The Board also heard an update on special education regulations in the state. Estabrook told the Board that a number of changes have been made in the regulations, but that the most pressing is a change in the review process for children referred to the program. By January 1, all schools must have sociological surveys made of the children by a visiting teacher or a licensed social worker. “I am very bothered that the Gen(Continued on Page 16) Q s & A’s Highlight Of Final Meeting By JON HEDDLESTON Eappahi—ocfc N— 8Uff Writer The fifth and final "community” meeting December 11 on the proposed zoning ordinance became a questionand-answer session which at one point led to attendees’ dropping discussion for 10 minutes to review proposed zoning maps. About 50 residents attended the meeting, which was held in Piedmont District at the SperryviUe Fire Hall. In opening the meeting, planning consultant Richard McNear alluded to floodplains passing through the middle of SperryviUe, making it what McNear called, "a unique town in a unique county.” McNear said the Planning Commission worked to draft an ordinance that would help SperryviUe to grow as a town. He said a “highway commercial” zone had been created on both sides of Route 211 from the SperryviUe Emporium to the park. "The zone is designed spedficaUy for those kinds of things catering to the traveling public,” he said. McNear discussed the Village Commercial area proposed for SperryviUe, an area proposed to run from the "old Johnston Store” past the Corner Stare by "four or five” properties on both sides of Route 522. He said the Village Commercial designation also would include a short section of Route 1008, proposed to begin at its intersection near the old blacksmith’s shop and end approximately paraUel to the four or five properties on Route 522. C.B. Johnson, Jr. said the Village Commercial designation did not include his “commercial” holding on Route 1003, which he requested be included. Mary Edna Schaefer, who resides on Route 1003, said she wanted her home to be classified Residential Village, which it was on the proposed coning map. Arthur Smith, owner of the Sperryville Antique Market, which is located near the other end of Route 1003, was concerned about proposed downzoning from Industrial to Agricultural of his antique and storage business. Planning Commissioner Charles “Pete” Estes, who represents Piedmont District, said, “We’re not going to arbitrarily take zoning away.” Elates said existing commercial zoning would remain commercial. Planner McNear asked Smith what zoning he preferred, industrial or commercial, and suggested Smith make sure the zoning he wanted fit the use under the proposed zoning ordinance. McNear added that “legally established” businesses would continue indefinitely as a non-conforming use under the proposed zoning ordinance until the use of the property for the purpose established ceased for more than two years. The non-conforming use would continue should Smith sell the property, McNear said, provided the new owner establish use within the two-year period. “The ownership doesn’t matter; It’s the use,” McNear said. McNear also defined the Village Residential zoning area proposed for (Continued on Page 12)

Correction Board of Supervisors A report last week on the De cember 3 meeting of the Board of Supervisors had some misplaced paragraphs. Those paragraphs, unscrambled, are reprinted here: • Amend motor vehicle ordinance. The Board will advertise for two weeks then hold a public hearing on amending the motor vehicle licensing ordinance. The Board must bring the county’s fee schedule into compliance with state law. This will result in a reduction in fees paid in some areas. Fees scheduled to be advertised for public hearing are: Farm vehicles, $15; motorcycles, $15; two-wheel trailers, $6.50; other trailers, $15; Antique vehicles, $5 (one time per owner); drilling machineiy, specialised mobile equipment, $16. o Multi-family dwelling*. The Board tabled until its January meeting a complaint in'regard to multifamily dwellings. The complaint, received before the Board’s November meeting lists “five or six” residences that are single-family reportedly being used as multi-family homes. “That person is legally entitled to an opinion, some action on her complaint,” Commonwealth’s Attorney Luke told the Board. Luke added the Board should “face up to the fact (that) we have these all over the county right now.” Complicating matters are several things: The question of multifamily dwellings currently has litigation pending between Patricia Saltonstall of Flint Hill and the Board of Zoning Appeals; the request comes at a time when the county is revising its. zoning ordinance (or would have to revise the 73 Zoning Ordinance to reflect any decision); enforcement probably will be difficult. • Church request. The supervisors agreed unanimously to pay Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church $100 for use of the church on election day. The Board confirmed that the mim amount is paid to county fire companies for use of their facilities. In addition, the county will pay ML Lebanon and fire companies hosting meetings on the proposed zoning ordinance $25 each for use of their facilities. Fire companies include Flint Hill, Amiaaville and SpenyviUe. • Coalition of rural counties. The Board reviewed a letter from Patrick County (pop. 15,282) asking Rappahannock to join other rural counties concerned about distribution of therstxte's highway hinds. “Rural counties in a lot of cases get the short end of the stick,” Chairman Latham said. Supervisor Estes said the competition with cities for funds could get worse, alluding to a city in Prince William county that voted to contribute fluids to a highway project, fluids that come from taxpayer dollars. Supervisor Estes said decisions such ss this in urban areas made it difficult far the state not to allocate the fluids requested. , — .. The supervisors decided the Patrick County letter was worth further consideration. The Board will respond in support of the organizational efforts and ask for more information. Correction F« Hunting Limited A section of a report on hunting in last week’s edition was incorrect. Fox hunting in Rappahannock County is hmited to hunting with dogs only. Hunting with dogs only is permitted year-round in Rappahannock. Hunting of fox with gun and trapping of fox both are illegal in Rappahannock, although seasons do exist in some other Virginia counties as specified in the Summary of Virginia Game Laws, published annually by the state. —spennwiLLe wa<m>n A r»K7Mtkxi of the newsboy's dottvery wagon of ttw ’20's.

Mrs. Kilby has been a ftiU-time librarian at the elementary school since it opened in 1968. She emphasizes ftilltime because for years she spent one half of her day as a librarian and the second half as a seventh-grade teacher. She has been employed by the Rappahannock School System since 1960, although she worked at home raisihg her two children between 1968 and 1962, and only substitute taught between those years. She believes teaching provides an excellent background for becoming a librarian. She adds that she enjoys being a librarian more than being a teacher, too. Typical Is Atypical Mrs. Kilby's typical day would seem atypical to most teachers: As a librarian, she works with children grades kindergarten through seven every school day.

No Sweaters by: Slacks by: Shoes by: 10% Senior E r convenient Li DOWNTOWN FRONT ROYAL Working with elementary children of all ages is what Mr*. Kilby says she enjoys most Heightening each child’s interest in reading is her goal. "That’s a good one,” Mrs. Kilby will say to a’ student who’s checking out a book she knows well. "I haven’t read it; let me know what you think," she’ll say to other*. "You’d be surprised. They'D come back and tell me whether they liked (the book) or not,” she beams. Mrs. Kilby knows the interests of elementary students, who she can read like a book. Second-graders: "Ihoy look for eolorflil’ books with pictures and a good story, not too long,” Mrs. Kilby says. Fifth-grade, girt "Adventure books, mysteries, horse books,” she affirms. Seventh-graders: “(They’re) very much into romance. Some of them are reading poetry and I like that.” Rewarding Career At the elementary school, going to the library is mandatory. Occasionally, Mrs. Kilby encounters a student who doesn’t want to read, however. She generally notices this among third- or fourth-graders. "I’m not too interested in reading,” she recalls students saying. When they do, Mrs. Kilby sets out immediately to dungs their minds. First, she asks the student what he or she likes to do. Then she matches that interest with a book on the subject written on a reading level the student feels comfortable with. "(They) don’t like to read if they can’t do it,” she says. It works, whether the interest is Redskins football, Raggedy Ann or rattlesnakes. "Usually, they’ll want (to read about) a similar subject when they come back,” she adds. It’s a rewarding part of the job, she admits, but not the only rewarding part. Teaching, Too Hie position of librarian includes quite a bit of teaching, too. It’s another aspect of the job Mrs. Kilby says she enjoys. On an informal level, Mrs. Kilby begins teaching students library research skills in the third grade, when they learn to use the card catalogue. She teaches them the “whys” of the library system, too: Why the DeweyDecimal System is used and why it's important for beginners to understand this system of classifying books, j i The best teaching device, however, is example, Mrs. Kilby notes. She believes it’s imperative that children see their parents, their teachers- and their librarian - read. She sets the example at the end of : every library period when reading time is set aside for each student. They're reading and I read also. I try not to be busy doing something else. I try to read with them,” Mrs. Kilby says. Her job as librarian includes a host of other responsibilities, among them: selection of books, classification of print and non-print materials, budgeting, working with administration and faculty. The school is very supportive of almost everything we try to do,” Mrs. Kilby offers. And so are the students, who all establish a personal rapport with Mrs. Kilby. When they’re in the library, they’re her children. "My children all come to me during the course of the week. Everyone in the school comes in . here,” she notes. It’s unbearable not to read. i Library Awarded Second Series The National Endowment far the Humanities has recently accepted the Rappahannock County Library's application to present the lecture series, "Growing Up in the South” in the Spring of 1985.

It’s 8:15 p.m., the students are gone, and now librarian Elizabeth Scott has one more person firing questions at her. This time it’s a reporter. Mrs. Scott handles this situation with ease, though. Like a book paeked with reference information, she draws from eight years experience as a high school librarian (five years in Rappahannock) to field sack qusry.

At a teacher’s request, Mrs. Scott tapes programs right off the air. A recent example: The “short-story" series on WVPT-TV Harrisonburg. Mrs. Scott says ahe welcomes input from teachers, whether it comes during planning meetings prior to the school year start-up, or during the year when students do research far different classes. Often, faculty requests become the basis for materials Mrs. Scott orders during the school year. She submits selections to Principal Robert Chappell for final approval. Learning Experience Being a librarian can be a learning experience, Mrs. Scott says, alluding to a student trim recently needed the name of the philosopher who said, “I think, therefore I am.” Knowing the quote but not its speaker, Mrs. Scott directed the student first to a book of quotations. This chapter in the life of a librarian continues: The bell rang and the student left, bound to resume the search again soon.

Moa-FM. •AM & The Time Has Come We believe the time has come to support the Planning Commission in its quest to propose a new and better zoning ordinance for Rappahannock County. In many respects, the planning commissioners have gone beyond the call of duty. First: The Planning Commission has responded to the outcry of nearly 40 citizens who spoke before some 400 attendees at an August 15 public hearing on the proposed zoning ordinance. The planning commissioners didn’t put blinders on and plow forward like a team of Clydesdales, as some citizens accused them of doing. Rather, they regrouped, recognized the need to solicit more public input and answer more questions, and set out to do just that. Their task was accomplished via a series of community meetings by district, which ran between October 22 and December 11. During these meetings, residents’ suggestions and concerns were recorded and more questions were answered. The community meetings were lively and well-attended, ranging from a low of about 50 people in the Piedmont District to a high of more than 80 in Jackson District. - The information gathered did not fall on deaf ears, but rather will become the basis for more revisions in the proposed zoning document and proposed zoning maps. The public can hear firsthand how the Planning Commission will consider this information, when additional Planning Commission meetings are scheduled and announced after the first of the year. Even after these meetings, which will be open to the public but not public hearings, the proposed zoning ordinance has more review gauntlet to pass through. The Planning Commission will forward the proposed zoning ordinance and maps to the Board of Supervisors, who can change anything they wish before holding another public hearing, giving citizens another opportunity to voice suggestions, support or opposition. Second: The Planning Commission acted quickly on virtually every reasonable request that was made of them. Requests ranged from producing more copies of the proposed document at reduced rates to making themselves available to the public and the press at all hours to answer questions and go on the record to tell the “whys” of the proposed zoning ordinance. The planners remained mute on only one question: Specifically, how can the 73 Zoning Ordinance be beaten? We disagree with their decision not to be specific, but respect their motive: They don't want to reveal how the 73 Ordinance, which could remain in place for some time, can be wrung out in the courts. Third: Support for the proposed zoning ordinance surfaced as more people became interested and involved during the community meetings. True, there are lots of people, possibly the majority, who still don’t know anything about the proposed zoning ordinance. But, we maintain they don’t know much about the zoning ordinance that has been in place for 11 years, either. And, if a referendum were to be held next November for people to plug the ordinance they prefer, the present or the proposed, people wouldn’t know much more than they do now. And what they now know, especially if they attended a community meeting, is a little more about what the proposed zoning ordinance will do and will not do for them. Residents also have offered input, and their needs are more likely to be met in the proposed zoning ordinance than via more piecemeal revisions of the ”73 Ordinance. Fourth: In courtroom battles, outdated artillery loses the war. There’s no question we’d all prefer a zoning document written with the brevity and clarity of the Gettysburg Address. Fact is, a zoning document like that wouldn’t hold legal water any better than cupped hands, especially if challenged by monied interests. A zoning ordinance must be specific and complemented by consistent administration. And we can’t have one without the other. The proposed document is more specific with definitions that spell things out in black and white, rather than leave them grey for a zoning administrator to interpret. Moreover, inconsistencies have been weeded out, which can be credited to the public that constantly picked and pawed at them in the proposed document, especially during the August 15 public hearing. Fifth: There is a time for trusting public servants, and for the planning commissioners, the time has arrived. They’ve worked on this proposed zoning ordinance for years. A few of the members know firsthand the history of Rappahannock zoning ordinances. They deserve some respect for their acquired wisdom and ability to persevere. Planning commissioners have been accused of everything from being too rich to too self-serving. Much of the criticism has been unfair, unfounded and unwarrantable. Believe it or not, these people love Rappahannock and want what’s best for this county, too. On the other hand, the constructive criticism of individuals and groups has begun to show results. The planners listened during the last four months. There’s more ironing out to do, but at least the wrinkles have surfaced that need to be pressed. No doubt, the planners will incorporate much of what they heard. They’ve heard enough; the Board of Supervisors comes next. It’s time we support the Planning Commission. Letters To The Editor Continued On Page 5 '—Our Rappahannock Heritage Letters To The Editor Decision Threatens All Taxpayers To the editor The decision of the supervisors to go ahead with plana to pay for engineering studies of the proposed sanitary-landfill site on Route 621—the Margohs tract—poses a threat to every taxpaying property owner in Rappahannock County. We urge all taxpayers, for the sake of their own pocketbooks, to take a close look at the exorbitant price tag on this plan arid to let their supervisors know whether they are prepared to pay their share. The tax-burden issue that needs to be made clear here is, quite simply, one qf waste, of needless and excessive outlays of tax revenues. As our neighboring counties' have demonstrated, a landfill property located on suitable and carefully prepared land will be a minor sore on the Rappahannock landscape and the county budget. But a landfill hastily dumped in a wholly unsuitable site is certain to be a cancer that will poison the county and inflate its tax burden for decades. Any property owner who doubts the scope of the raid now planned on his pocketbook needs only to look at the facts: 1. Site acquisition. The $185,000 the supervisors have offered for the proposed 138-acre site—while entirely unreasonable when 40 acres at, say, $800 an acre, or $32,000, seems feasible—is not even a start on what this plan would cost. 2. Site preparation. State health official Robert Forman has been quoted by Supervisor Gilkey as saying the Margolis tract is a “very good” site. What Mr. Forman actually has written is that, technically speaking, you can put a landfill almost anywhere, “provided you are prepared to pay for the cost involved in making it environmentally suitable.” And what would the cost be to prepare the Margolis site? That’s incalculable without expensive exploration, including core drilling and other testa. But Mr. Forman agrees that a site between and close to two riven and a seven-acre pond on porous soils over land laced with underlying faults would require a heavy investment in landfill lining, siltation ponds and the like. 3. Access roads. The necessary up grading of the Route 621 approach to the site would cost about $120,000, plus the open-ended expense of condemning the required rights of way. In addition, at least one and probably two bridges would have to be upgraded. Who would foot the bill of several hundred thousand dollars? Again, it's the Rappahannock taxpayer, since district highway engineer Don Askew says flatly the state is not going to pay. 4. Litigation costs. The needless expenditure of revenues on a contested condemnation suit—when far superior sites can be had for far less from willing sellers—is, once again, just a start. There is every reason to anticipate a i flood of damage suits from homeowners whose life savings have been undermined by the location of a sanitary landfill in a residential area when all experience demonstrates that these litigation costs can be avoided simply by locating the landfill in a sparsely populated area. 5. Tax-base erosion. The prospective destruction of land values by threatened pollution around the proposed site and downstream for miles along the Covington, Rush and Thornton rivers would involve a nugor assault on the pocketbooks of property owners all around Rappahannock County. Question: Are Rappahannock County taxpayers prepared to make up the revenue losses that will result from plopping a landfill in a residential area between two rivers—on top of paying their share of the cost involved in any attempt to make the Margolia site environmentally feasible and safe to reach? And all this without so much as a token effort to determine whether the present landfill could be upgraded and expanded at a reasonable cost, or whether other approaches to waste management might be effective at less cost to the taxpayers. We, the members of The Concerned Citizens of Rappahannock County, urge our fellow property owners to face up to this threat of a spectacular increase in the local tax burden. Let your supervisor know how you feel! DELBERT PRICE Chairperson, CCRC Landfill Needs Healthy Dose Of Public Input, Debate To the editor The original decision of the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors to concentrate its attentions on . the Margolis tract for a landfill for the county was seen by many of us as being the result of too little information and too much zeal. We assumed that if the Board were aware of the breadth of opposition in the county, and if they were presented with more information about the sensitive ecology of the site and the environmental and economic drawbacks of their selection, their zeal would naturally be redirected toward the difficult task of identifying a more suitable site. We naively supposed the Board would embrace an opportunity to recant a poor decision and get on with this endeavor with the full and enthusiastic support of the community. Public attendance at the December S Board meeting, a presentation made at that meeting by CCRC, and the dominance of this issue in this newspaper in recent weeks offer more than adequate testimony to the level of concern among citizens of the county. We ill realize that the siting of such a facility in Rappahannock County ia a sensitive nutter and warrants a healthy dose of public input and debate. Also on December 3, the Board was given two reports regarding the ecology and hydrogeology of the site and its environs. Through this newspaper, a wealth of information has appeared concerning the size and nature of the potentially impacted community and the economic implications of selecting this site. The Board has apparently decided to ignore all of this information in favor of continuing on its present course. It would be impossible to convey accurately either our surprise or disappointment at this decision. Too much zeal in a governing body need not cause an embarrassment to the supervisors or the voters who elected them. Failure to consider an abundance of pertinent and available date and the will of the people is worse than an embarrassment to all concerned. ANDREW AND JOAN PLATT Washington “iFrom Both Barrels— Coleman Is Patient By GEORGE BOWLBS It kn been said, with considerable justification, that former Attorney General M»r«h»n Coleman, bone of the most sagacious politicians in Virginia today. His decision, announced last week, to seek the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor in 1966 instead of governor is entirely consistent with that judgment. His move leaves the GOP gubernatorial field apparently dear for a monumental nomination shootout between former Fairfax Del. Wyatt Burette, now of Chesterfield, and 8th District Congressman Stanford Parris of Fairfax. Coleman, of course, still has his political sights set on the Governor^ Mansion. He has by no means abandoned that goal The decisions which he must make now involve choosing the options which are most likely to help in attaining it. To that end, Coleman haa, besides political sagacity, other assets which are vital for a man with his ambitions. At 42 he still has relative youth. Along with it he has patience. Also, he recognizes political realities when he sees them, and the realities he saw for the year ahead did not bode well for his capturing the top spot on the ticket this time mround. While there is no doubt that Coleman, as he claims and as his polls ferity, had the widest name recognition among rank and file Republicans, the party’s leadership and the activists who attend the GOP mass meetings and conventions were not in his corner. Also, there was almost no chance that he could have captured the hearts, minds or money of the state’s conservative independents, whose support is still an indispensable ingredient of any GOP victory in Virginia in which the race is dose, and the 1966 gubernatorial race is expected to be very close, indeed. There is another reality which is only whispered about in Republican as well as in Democratic circles. It is generally believed within the GOP that state Sen. Douglas Wilder of Richmond^ who is Mack, has a virtual lock on the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor. If he wins it, GOP strategists are convinced that the Republican nomination ftnrthe post will tantamount to election. They, as well as many Democrats, do not believe that conservative Virginia’s 80 per cent white electorate is ready to elect a black to statewide office. Thus, in the view of the Republicans, the nomination for the number two spot will be a very hot political property next year. That is so, of course, because the lieutenant governors chair may be the prime launching pad for the nomination for governor in 1989. Indeed, it is possible, if the GOP captures the office, the incumbent may very well head the Republican ticket without opposition four years hence. And so, as events are working out, the struggle for the lieutenant governor nomination may . be every bit as bloody and nearly as costly as that for the gubernatorial nod itself. The candidates and potential candidates see for the winner a clear shot at the governorship down the road, and they are ready to go for it hammer and tongs. Beside Coleman, the lieutenant governor hopeftila are state Sen. John Chichester of Stafford, Del. A. R. “Pete” Giesen of Waynesboro, Dr. Maurice Dawkins of Northern Virginia and Del. Frank Hargrove of Hanover. Others said to be interested are state Sen. Wiley Mitchell of Alexandria and Botetourt businessman John Alderson. Dawkins heads the Virginia Black Republican Council and Alderson was chairman of the Reagan for President campaign in Virginia both in 1980 and this year. Which of the gubernatorial candidates does the Coleman withdrawal benefit? The jury is still out, but the conventional wisdom seems to be that Durrette has gained at least a marginal advantage from the Coleman move. . The picture is not mud) clearer with respect to Coleman’s new situation. He is by no means a shoo-in for the lieutenant governor’s nomination, although he now should probably be considered the front-runner. Many of the negatives which haunted him as a potential candidate for governor, however, haunt him still. But the guess here is that he has made an astute political derision. By his willingness to wait he has probably improved his chances of one day moving into the Executive Mansion, although thatday is a long time in the feture. „ ‘."li—M' But then, as we said, Coleman is a patient man. CCRC Inconsistent About Dumps To the editor The vigorous opposition of the Concerned Citizens of Rappahannock County (CCRC) to the proposed location of the county dump would ring a lot truer if it were not regularly accompanied by a plea that the county's present dump site be upgraded and expanded. This, CCRC claims, would have “far smaller....impact on the character, environment and tax base” of the county. I have no idea where the CCRC gets this notion, and can only conclude that CCRC has no idea where the dump is. The dump is now situated next to our farm, having been placed there, over our protestations, in 1977 pursuant to a two-year permit. Itis in one of the loveliest sections of ithe county. It has been, and remains, a corruption of the surrounding land and its uses. Further, it is on land that drains into our pond and into our water supply. It has undoubtedly affected property values, as CCRC suggests, though it has not, as CCRC also suggests, reduced appraisals for tax purposes. The point, however, is not the personal hazards and losses. The point is that the CCRC is utterly wrong in contending that the dump should remain in its present location, and that that location is more consistent with the character and environment of the county *H»n the location CCRC objects to. In fact, I suspect most would agree that the present location is a good deal less defensible in terms of the criteria CCRC poses than the proposed location is. Consistency requires the CCRC to stop advocating that the county’s dump continue to despoil the area in which it is presently located if CCRC expects its campaign to look like anything other than a cynical effort, garbed in highsurrounding phrases, to push the dump just somewhere else, anywhere else. JOHN H. SCHAFER Woodville CCRC Main Concern: Don’t Put It Here To the editor. In regard to the landfill for Rappahannock County, I do not believe the Woodville people are only more entitled to have a permanent landfill than any other section of the county. To begin with, the landfill was originally placed in Woodville without the knowledge of the residents, and then was promised to be kept here for only two years. After the two years, it was continued as a landfill for approximately three years without a permit. Then a permit was granted for an extension of approximately two more yean which would end June SO, 1966. As a resident of Woodville, I do not believe that anyone suggested the site in question to the Board of Super visors. The CCRC has blatantly recommended Woodville to be made the permanent site for the county landfill I find this very selfish and very undiplomatic, showing their main concern to be that the landfill not be placed near them. If we cannot agree to a countywide site, then we should have dumps by the communities or districts within the county, be sponsored by that individual community and not by the county as a whole. We would want our wells to be as pure, our land as pristine, as yours. Let us live and let live, observing more closely the golden rule. RAYMOND M.

More Letters To The Editor Not Trying To Shunt fiimdfill To the editor. As a concerned citizen of Rappahannock County and a member of the CCRC, it concerns me greatly that some people think of ns as a group attempting to shunt the county’s landfill problems off on another district or area. This is not so. We (the CCRC) are trying to correct a gross mistake in the location of the proposed laixHlll. More specifically, we are working—if possible with the cooperation of the Supervisors—to develop and apply a set of objective criteria for the selection of a suitable landfill site, one that will not endanger the health of residents and livestock alike. In particular,, criteria such as: Easy accessibility; low-density population and low real-eatate-aasessmeht values; the absence of marshes, streams, springs and ponds; rolling hills with some forest for a buffer. In criteria such as these, along with input from the people, had been used in locating the present landfill in Woodville, it probably would not have been put there and we would not be faced with the task of finding a new site now. We in this relatively new community of Peyton Farms Estates may be regarded by some as out-landers, but it may come as a surprise that we dearly love this county and consider this to be one of the most beautifiil spots in the country. It was this scenic beauty that brought us to this area for retirement, that led us to invest our life savings in homes here. It is this same beauty that prompts us to work to preserve this fragile element from contamination, destruction and pollution by a landfill that, by any reasonable standard, would not be located at the proposed Route 621 site—the Margolis tract. The CCRC has been calling—in one-on-one talks with the supervisors, in attendance at Board meetings and in INCORPORATED Regular Sates Every Tuee. HORSE SALE 2nd SaL, 1 pjil, Every Month STATE GRADE FAT CATTLE 1st TVm* 1 pm. Kvwy North 1 MteBoatof NorahoN KLSI 364-1566 individual fetter* to the supervisor* — for the withdrawal of the condemnation proceedings on this site, for the adoption of acceptable site criteria and foil dtisen input in open meetings on these decisions. The CCRC has gone to the expense of engaging a certified hydrogeologist with 80 years experience to provide a professional evaluation of the proposed site. One supervisor said he would not accept that evaluation, that he assumed it was biased. But not aO the supervisor* agreed; several have told us they are open to suggestions. One agrees openly that the hasty choice of the MargoUs site was a serious error and even called on the Board to withdraw condemnation and proceed with more study. To date, it has not even been demonstrated tint a new landfill is required. One established wastemanagement firm with which we have consulted assures us that it would be feasible to haul the waste out of the county from two or three dumpstercompactors to be located in accessible spots in the county. This would eliminate any need for a new sanitary landfill site. To establish a landfill is very costly: $186,000 for the land (not coanting condemnation coats), $200,000 to $300,000 to upgrade nods, $86,000 to upgrade bridges, then the cost of preparing the site in accordance with the EPA regulations, monitoring wells and drainfields, and major outlays on operating equipment. 'Dm expenditures — particularly on the proposed site— would be staggering, and all to be borne by the taxpayers before the first load of trash is laid down. It is apparent that the supervisors did not establish an operating plan before moving forth on this landfill project Neither did they figure the costs of alternative methods of waste management—for example, waste removal versus landfill operations. Some of the supervisors have never been faced with the problems involved in establishing a landfill, though one reports that he has been faced with this problem for 13 years. (He, above all, should be aware of all the factors and problems involved.) Surprisingly, it appears that no Board member bothered to explore the experience of neighboring counties. Failures of this sort inevitably create ui\ju8tand unnecessary burdens on Rappahannock taxpayers, all the needless result of refusal to allow county residents to have a voice in their own destiny with open forums and all cards on the table.

To the editor Landowners near the proposed landfill site on Route 621 are understandably unhappy about the actions taken so far by the supervisors. While admitting that the site tentatively propoaed by the supervisors has the advantage of being in the geographic center of the county, they claim that everything else makes this particular site the worst choice which could be made. They claim to have identified sites elsewhere in the county which would be mudi better for a landfill but so for have not publicized the exact location of those “better” sties. Understandably so, for the people near these others sites will quickly become as irate as they now are should the residents of Peyton Farm Estates manage to shove the landfill unto someone else. As usual, it depends on whose ox is to be gored. No one wants a landfill near them. So what’s to be done? I sympathize with the people presently upset but I also sympathize with the supervisors in making a decision which must be made and which is bound to be most unpopular with some group of citizens, no matter what choice of site is made. However, we must never forget that our five supervisors asked us for the opportunity to make decisions for the county—both the pleasant and the unpleasant ones. There may be some guidelines for them to use in this case: 1. They must try to get the facts about the landfill site or sites as best they can and be governed by this factual data rather than by emotional outbursts from the present opponents or those of another proposed site, if this comes. In this connection, they should recognize that “expert” consultants usually send opinions favorable to the party, body or group which hires and paysthem. 2. The supervisors must, not be intimidated by threats of lawsuits. The present site opponent* and others who - may take their places elsewhere must cease this intolerable business of publicly threatening lawsuits against the county if they don’t get their way, as was done in the courthouse on Dec. 8 and elsewhere. Don’t they realize that they are threatening to sue themselves as taxpayers along with the rest of us? Are we all to adopt these tactics of legal threats if we disagree with landfill locations, zoning ordinances, land-use taxation rates, Ag/Forestal Districts and everything else? Are we all part of the county body politic ware we aliens apart from it? 8. The elected supervisors must, however, accept the reality of political reaction to this and to every other controversial decision they make. While it is not acceptable to threaten lawsuits against the county for capricious reasons or self-serving interests alone, it is acceptable, even commendable, to hold local government politically accountable for actions which one perceives to be contrary to one’s own interests and/or those of the commonwealth. This is the more civic stance adopted by the Rappahannock Public Action Committee on the zoning issue, which I recommend heartily to the concerned citizens of Peyton Farm Estates. Our supervisors can count noses and they will. The District of one Supervisor has been “tapped” for a landfill; the Districts of four Supervisors have not been, as yet. The governing body is sworn to act in the best interests of the county as a whole; at the same time the voters expect them effectively to represent the District electorate which put them in office. Sometimes it is not an easy job to reconcile these two duties and perhaps a little more appreciation of that fact might be helpful at this point in the landfill controversy. ROBERT W. EASTHAM Flint Hill Appreciates Cast, Crew And More To the editor I would like to take this opportunity to express my deep appreciation to Don Boraberger, the cast and the crew of “Wait Until Dark," on behalf of the Rappahannock Players. Without the wholehearted efforts of the many people who worked on this show The Rappahannock Players would not have been able to have such a success. Many people were called upon to give a great deal of time and expertise, without we would have not had such a quality production. I would like to mentioned some of the folks who did not make it into the program due to oversight and printing deadlines. Sam O’Connor has been an enthusiastic member of the Flayers since its beginnings, and has again given her love, care and advice to this production. Jody Foster and Stu Eiland were a great help with the set cm struction. Waldron O’Connor filled in with the aet painting when an emergency took our scenic artist out of town. Waldron, Pam Russell and Dan Lewis were the heroes in a moment of need. John and Christopher Moyles spent hours, nailing, painting, go-foring for all the department heads. Tom Taylor stepped in when the box office concessions needed relief and cheer. Thanks also due to Howard and Julie Coon for their hospitality towards the cast and crew. Once again my heartfelt thanks to all those who shared in this creation. Even though from time to time things get a little strained when you are aiming as high as we do, in the end there is that feeling of pride and teamwork that brings us back again and again.

Give yourself and a few good friends a break and serve raclette • a melted cheese dish that prepares itself while you trim the tree, catch up with friends, get to know your friends’ children, and, in general, do the things that promote Christmas spirit. Although fast and easy, raclette is not a meal that you'll feel like apologizing for. Its success depends on good cheese, a good wine, fresh French ; bread of excellent quality, a fresh garlicky salad with the bite of raw lode, tiny firm Brussels sprouts, pickled onions and small pickled gherkins, and sweet new potatoes. Pass a bowl of oranges, tangerines and walnuts in the shell for dessert. Raclette is unlike fondue in that nothing is mixed with the cheese. The potatoes, Brussels sprouts and bread are cooked, then wrapped in napkins on a table by the fire. Don’t skimp on these simple ingredients. Choose only the freshest and the best for these and the salad vegetables. For the Swiss, racklette is a meal to eat after skiing. It’s just as suitable as a special homey meal to serve on Christmas Eve in the midst of last-minute gift wrapping and friends dropping by to deliver gifts. Make plenty, and everyone that comes can stay for a moment’s rest in a hectic day, a friendly glass of wine and a warm bite. Raclette On a stool by your hearth or a cast iron pot on top of your woodstove with , a low fire, place a large hunk of Radette from Switzerland, Emmantaler from Germany, or Fontina from Italy. Allow about a pound for every 4 guests, but don’t put more than 5 or 6 pounds to melt at once. No fireplace or woodstove? Try an electric skillet or wok at its lowest setting, or a heavy pan over lowest heat on a gas or electric stove. As the cheese melts, guests take a ■ slice from the soft melted part of the cheese and place it on a warmed plate. Into this they dip chunks of bread, little Brussels sprouts, boiled new potatoes with their jackets on, all kept warm by the fire.

Christmas is Cut approaching and we are all seeking for gifts for that special someone. This week we will look at some practical and yet very useful gifts and ideas. Give A Gift From The Kitchen Some gifts are large. Others are so small you nest them in boxes to give a little drama to their unwrapping. But what’s a gift both great ami small at the same time? It’s the gift that pleases those for whom it’s hard to find something special. In this case it might be a favorite aunt or uncle, a helpful neighbor or even a special niece or nephew. The gill is a mack or spread made in your own kitchen. Snack Mix for giving is a wholesome tidbit for a teenager or adult who can use a snack, from the calorie standpoint, while reading, studying or watching the ball game. It contains almonds, peanuts, rice cereal and raisins, chow mein noodles, sesame seed and coconut in a seasoned melted butter. Cheddar-Blue Cheese Spread is a sophisticated match-up for assorted crackers, which might be paired together as a_ tasty gift. If you want to make the gift more elaborate, present with an attractive crock and matching spreaders. For those who like breakfast or those who make a special occasion of the weekend breakfast, there’s Raspberry Butter, pastel colored and delicious for pancakes, hot breads or waffles. Herbs in all ways are very popular right now. How about blending parsley chives and thyme in butter that can then be served with chicken, steak, fish, baked potatoes or green beans? Snack Mix 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter 1/4 cup soy sauce 1 teaspoon seasoned salt 1 cup blanched whole almonds 3 cups bite-sire crispy rice squares 1 can (1 lb.) salted cocktail peanuts 1 cup golden raisins 1 can (3 oz.) chow mein noodles 1/4 cup sesame seed lean (31/2 oe.) flaked coconut Preheat oven to 360 degrees F. Heat butter, soy sauce and seasoned salt in large skillet over low heat until butter is melted. Stir in almonds. Cook, stirring constantly, 6 minutes. Stir in cereal, peanuts, raisins, noodles and sesame seed. Cook stirring constantly, until noodles begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in coconut. Spread half of the mixture in a 16 x 10inch jelly roll pan. Bake 10 minutes. Cool on paper toweling. Repeat with remaining mixture.

The junior varsity began the night with an impressive winning score of 59-42. The varsity team jumped to the lead early in their game, but in the end Blue Ridge came out on top with a score of 73-60. Junior varsity Coach Greg Waters was pleased with his team’s offensive performance, but said that the team did not do as well defensively as it could have. ‘'The JV’s did the job offensively scoring 59 points, and when we did force bad shots our big men, especially Butch Foster who sewed 23 points, were where they were supposed to be, and they rebounded and sewed,” Waters said. “Defensively, we were not aggressive and failed to help when the opposing players penetrated or got open for a shot in the first half,” said Waters. “In the second half, we used our press suce8sfully and also played a half zone half man to man defense called a triangle and two which prevented most of the penetration and shooting by their best players.” Richard Tribino was the other player for the junior varsity in double figures for the night The next game will be against William Monroe Saturday night, December 15. “In order to beat William Monroe Saturday we cede slaw, choice of milk. Wednesday Choice of clam chowder or vegetable beef soup, grilled cheese sandwich, fresh orange wedge, vegetable sticks, choice of milk. Thursday Roast turkey, dressing, gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans, Christmas jello salad, homemade roll/butter, choice of milk. Friday Cheeseburger on bun, French fries, banana split, choice of milk. must improve our defense 100 percent, and all of our guards must help bring the ball up the floor against their pressure defense,’* Waters said. Despite the final score in the varsity game, Coach Don Dawson was pleased with the way his team played. RCHS led the game at the beginning, but were down by five points at the half. "They had us 56-40 at the end of the third quarter, and the team never gave up,” Dawson said. “We cut the lead to three points at times, but we never were able to get over the hump and take the lead.” Dawson said that the final score may have indicated a loss by 13 points, but that the way the team played “I’d say we only lost by three or four points.” Dawson said that he was pleased since the game was the team’s first, and it was played against a bigger Blue Ridge team that had already played four games. “We had inconsistency on offense like throwing the ball away, and mentally we didn’t play well during the second half,” Dawson said. “Some of the team members hadn’t played together before, so it will all come.” Four Rappahannock players were in double figures for the night. Tommy Jenkins had 21 points, Jeff Porter had 12, Pat Brown had 11 and Mike Atkins had 10. Elves Invade Wakefield The second grade at Wakefield School on December 7 performed a musical drama called “The Elves and the Shoemaker.” Christopher Angell played the part of the shoemaker who is helped out of financial difficulties by elves who work during the night on shoes, and Carrie Naramore was the shoemaker’s wife. Shane Robinson, Ann Mane McCormick and Colleen Harrell were shoppers from the village. The helpful elves were Eben Darling, Christopher Bentley, Geoffrey Duncan, Daniel Guenthner, Frank Horing, Matthew McCurry and Jeremy Thorpe. Kate Quinn was the narrator. The chorus from Grade 1, Level I, Level II and Level IV were directed by Gloria Harris and Bonnie Williams accompanied on the piano. rBoosters Meet R^yhnaock Newt Rmo/Jhk Bangley I me Rappahannock High School Boosters Club met between basketball games Monday night to make plans for the year like holding a talent show in the spring.

WSA Prepares To Close Financial Deal By JANE BANGLEY laaaakiMMkllmSHirVite The Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority (WSA) prepared for a momentous occasion in the history of the proposed Sperryville Sewage System during its meeting on December & The Authority was told that the dosing of the financial arrangements between the WSA and the investment firm of Moseley, Hallgarten, Estabrook and Weeden, Inc. of New York would take place on Tuesday, December 11 in Richmond. At the Authority’s last meeting in November the vice president of the firm, William D. Crow, told the members that the firm would purchase ap-. proximately $965,000 of Grant Anticipation Notes from the Authority if the notes received a MIG-1 rating from Moody’s. Moody’s is a private rating firm, and a MIG-1 rating is the highest level possible and indicates confidence that the notes will be covered. Crow advised the Authority at its meeting on December 6 that the notes had received the rating, and he preeented the construction fond caeh flow ediednle. The echedule begins with thie month and shows the balance, earning! and payments until March of 1967. On the basis of the projected flgarea in the schedule, the Authority will earn approximately 168,974.78 after costa. The WSA unanimously approved the note purchase contract with the New York firm, and the official . statement was adopted. The Authority also approved the resolution for tending. At the dosing, the Authority received a check ter the notea from Crow. The Authority was also advised by its legal oohneal, Doug Baumgardner, that easement agreements ter the collection tinea are ready to be sent out to 88 parties involved. Chairman Bob Dennis suggested that the agreements should be delivered to the people by someone who can answer any queetione, and that the agreements should be delivered as soon as possible, “By the January meeting let’s have a sure report on where we stand on right-ofway acquisition,” said Dennis. Dennis had appointed Carson Johnson, Baumgardner, and Wayne Cilimberg, executive director of the RappahannockRapidan Planning Commission in Culpeper, to a committee to oversee the easement agreements, and Dennis asked that committee to remain in charge. The WSA received a recommendation on the contract bids from Hank Gerhart of the engineering firm of Buchart-Hom, Inc. of Williamsburg. Gerhart recommended that, when the time comes, the Authority accept the bids of Buckley-Lages, Inc. for the collection system and Perry Engineering Company, Inc. for the plant The collection system bid from Buckley-Lages, Inc. was $1,364,499.10, and the plant bid from Perry Engineering Company, Inc. was $290,342. Both firms are based in Winchester. Before the Authority can act on Gerhart’s recommendation, a part B application to the Environmental Protection Agency must be approved. The WSA appointed CQhnberg and Gerhart to work together on that application. The Authority also received an electrical inspection report from Gerhart on the status of electrical service' in SperryviDe homes. “There are 57 percent that appear to be satisfactory, there are 19 percent that we’re not sure of but we think that with minor modification that they'll be OK, and (the) remainder do not meet the national electrical code and will have to have something done to them before we can hook them up," said Gerhart Gerhart told the Authority that a decision will have to be reached during the next two meetings about how to inform homeowners who need electrical work done. A right-of-way agreement with Potomac Edison for electrical lines to the plant site was approved by the WSA. Hie Authority then went into executive session to discuss the acquisition of land for access to the plant site, and the next steps to be taken in the Authority's audit. The WSA’s next meeting wfll be on January 3. Best Host Saves Lives Of Party Aa a party host/hoetess during; the holiday won, yon can plan safe alternatives for both drinking and driving guests without inhibiting the life of the party. Thane safety tqa can help insure that your party docent end in tragedy: • Uae alcohol aa an accompaniment to aodal activities, not the main focus. Avoid pressuring guests to drink. • Have nonalcoholic beverage available. Some people do not drink alcohol. • Serve high protein foods like cheese, meat and egga before and during drinking. They slow down the stomach's alcohol absorption rate. • Use standard measures when mixing drinks: jiggers or one-ounce bottle spouts. • Serve mixed drinks or spiked punches with a noncarbonated base like fruit juice or tea. Alcohol is absorbed foster when carbonated. e If a guest drinks too much, start a conversation to alow down the drinking; offer food or suggest a nonalcoholbc drink. • Stop serving alcohol about an hour before the party is over, allowing guests more time for their bodies to get rid of the alcohol they have consumed. • Remember, neither coffee or cold ■bowers can sober up anyone. Only time can lower a person’s Mood alcohol concentration (BAC). Despite even the beat planned party there may be guests who do drink too much and insist on driving home. “If this happens, take charge and don't give in,” advisee John T. Hanna, deputy commissioner, Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles. “You may lose a friend that night, but you will have a better friend in the morning.” The following are some standard drinking driver intervention procedures, but don’t just limit your actions to these: s Drive your guest home or ask another sober person to provide a ride. • Have your guest stay overnight. This small inconvenience Ynay save someone’s life. • For teenage guests, call their parents for a ride. • If a guest insists on driving, try to take away the car keys. If someone is too drunk to reason with, then it is imperative that you take charge. • Use physical restraint if necessary. It Bounds drastic, but your guest must not be allowed to drive. Zoning Ordinance (Continued from Page 1) Sperryville, an area he said would increase the number of one-acre sites available for residences. The planners learned they may have to take a closer look at expansion of the Village Residential area, however. The reason: The sewer system to be constructed in Sperryville next year will operate at 80 percent capacity from the onset, according to Carson Johnson, Sperryville resident and member of the Water and Sewer Authority (WSA), which is overseeing the project. It may not leave a lot of room for growth. Beyond the Residential Village section proposed for Sperryville is Rural Residential zoning, which would allow for homes on five-acre lots. This zoning is proposed for the “peripheral” area mainly to the east of Sperryville, McNear said. • “Why is the zoning ordinance being revised? If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it,” John Marocchi of Sperryville suggested. Responded Planner McNear “In my opinion, one good court test and this county won’t have a zoning ordinance.” McNear added that the present zoning ordinance did not conform to the comprehensive plan. Planning Commissioner Newbill Miller, who serves as chairman of the committee to revise the zoning ordinance, said the Planning Commission “constantly” encountered legal and administrative problems with the 1973 Zoning Ordinance, which is still in place. “It was the feeling of the Planning Commission that it needed a se Joan Y.

Latham was one of several supervisors who joined the planners during the meeting. Sperryville resident Jesse Pond wondered if the commonwealth’s attorney had offered his legal opinion of the 73 Zoning Ordinance. Commissioner Miller responded, saying the original hope of the Planning Commission waa to update the 73 Zoning Ordinance, which he said also was the opinion of former commonwealth’s attorneys George Davis and Doug Baumgardner. Miller said he thought the opinion was shared by Commonwealth's Attorney Peter Luke, who Miller said had given his recommendations to the Board of Supervisors. Miller said other lawyers around the comity agreed the 73 Zoning Ordinance was not defensible. Robert Raatham of Flint HiU asked Planner McNeer and Commissioner Miller to be “spedfic” about the legally indefensible aspects of the 78 Zoning Ordinance. Both declined to comment on specific sections, but maintained the 73 Ordinance had served its purpose and needed to be replaced. Said McNear "I wont politically give a list of how the 78 Ordinance can be defeated.” Sam Snead of Gid Brawn Hollow said he flavored Teas government, less taxes and,less restrictions." Snead expressed concern that the proposed zoning ordinance would require a foil-time secretary, a foil-time zoning adminis. trator and a staff. He wondered if the Introducing: The Hydroponic Homestead™ An (18x44 inch) complete growing system which allows anyone to effortlessly grow greenhouse quality produce, herbs & flowers; root cuttings of a favorite plant, or get ahead start on an outdoor garden.

Commissioner Miller predicted the proposed zoning ordinance would reduce costa by eliminating lawsuits. Planner McNear added that other counties such as Fauquier, Culpeper and Warren had staffs not because of the length of their zoning ordinances but because of the amount of subdividing and new development each was experiencing, which created the need for more people to do the work. Snead also asked if the planning commissioners now were reconsidering downzoning of the former ski area located in Harris Hollow. “I think it’s a real slap in the face to turn around and downzone that property,” Snead said.

"But, if not, (downzoning) could hurt us,” he added. "Anything is sutyect to change prior to sending (the proposed ordinance) to the Board of Supervisors,” Commissioner Miller responded, adding that no decision regarding the former ski area property had been made. Miller said the property in question had been a major concern of Hampton District residents during the community meeting on the proposed zoning ordinance held there, where residents wanted the commercial tract downzoned. Martin Woodard of Sperryville wondered if the proposed zoning document could be simpler, with less requirements on items such as off-street parking, noise and intensity of street lighting. Woodard thought such requirements would burden prospective business owners with unnecessary costs. "Is this really what Rappahannock County needs?” he asked. Planner McNear responded, saying the zoning ordinance needed to be specific, something the 73 Ordinance was not. McNear said an ordinance that required “adequate” parking for a business might soon end up in court to determine the definition of "adequate.” The proposed zoning ordinance included definitions, McNear said, which could avert lawsuits. "You shouldn’t have to file a suit to see what the zoning ordinance says,” McNear noted. Ron Frazier, Amissville resident and president of the Rappahannock Public Action Committee (RPAC), presented a petition to the planners, and called for a referendum, which he said would allow the people of Rappahannock to decide which ordinance they wanted, the present or the proposed. Frazier said 1,054 people had signed RPAC petitions, liiis petition called for a revision of the 73 Ordinance; an earlier petition had asked planners to table the proposed zoning ordinance, but to no avail, Frazier said. Frazier also wondered if "topical” meetings on the proposed zoning ordinance were planned. Commissioner Miller said a series of Planning Commission meetings would be announced after the first of the year, at which the planners would review all suggestions made during the five community meetings. Miller added that the public would be welcome at these meetings, but that the meetings would not be public hearings. Order Tree Seedlings Now For Spring Planting 1985 William C. Vernam, Area Forester with the Virginia Division of Forestry, reports that now is the time for landowners in Rappahannock County to order tree seedlings for planting in the spring of 1986. "Landowners should look at their properties now with the view to planting trees next spring” says Mr. Vernam. Thirteen species of trees are being raised in Division of Forestry Nurseries for spring planting in 1985. Loblolly pine, white pine, shortleaf pine, Norway spruce, Scotch pine, black locust, bristly locust and black walnut are among the tree species available for Christmas tree, timber production and soil erosion control. Species suitable for wildlife include autumn olive, Virginia-70 shrub lespedeza and sawtooth oak. Prices range from $20 to $200 per thousand trees with approximately 700 to 800 trees needed to plant an acre of open land. Planting site recommendations are available upon request. "Why should I plant tree seedlings?” is a question landowners often ask. Benefits include a future timber crop, increased land value, reduction of soil erosion and stream sedimentation problems, increased wildlife habitat and air pollution reduction. Potential planting sites include cutover land, abandoned fields and steep hilly land are potential planting sites. Information and order forms may be obtained by contacting the Virginia Division of Forestry office at 676 Frost Avenue, Warrenton, Virginia 22186 or by calling 847-7989.

Sunshine House Amissville Couple’s *Dream’ Home Catches Warmth Of The Sun The Barrens ’ solar home is hoisted on a hill overlooking Route 645. Photo Courtesy David BatcMder Rappahannock News Staff Photo The Barrens review Marshall’s original blueprint plan with builder David Batchelder (1). By JON HEDDLESTON B« Whin mck Nrw» fluff Writer For about $3,500 more than the cost of a conventional home, Pearl and Marshall Barron of Amissville had active and passive solar systems built into their dream home. And they’re glad they did. Completed in September 1983, the Barrons’ home looks like a small palace. Situated high on a hill overlooking Route 645, the front of the home faces due south; the rear practically ignores the old north wind by being partially underground. Now about to begin a second winter in their solar home, Marshall beams: “I love it. I think it’s terrific. I’m impressed with the house and the solar-heating system. I certainly would recommend it.” Based Upon Own Design The Barrons’ home is based upon a design Marshall drafted while in college earning a degree in civil engineering. Marshall laughs as he reveals his original blueprints, complete with swimming pool, etcetera, etcetera. “Well, it’s not quite everything I wanted,” he admits. Even though financial realities made quick pragmatists out of the Barrons, they’ve still managed a jump-start on the entire dream package, beginning with a simple, functional and affordable solar design. The couple says this was accomplished primarily through the expertise and cooperation of builder-contractor David Batchelder, who also lives in Amissville. “We told him the type of house; he took it from there,” Marshall recalls. The Barrons lived in Fauquier County in 1980 when they purchased the “almost six-acres” that now hoists their home. ,The couple 'began in 1982 to look for someone who would build what they wanted. Marshall says he saw Mr. ‘Double* Wallis Unique It’d Take Some Wolf To Blow This One Down Big bad wolves and winter winds could huff and puff to no avail on David Batchelder’s first solar home. “Double-wall” construction makes it unique. All exterior walls in the house Rappafaaaock Newt Staff Photo Valux window shows on sunlight and double-wall at windowsill. are two 2X4 walls-with 9 1/4 inches of fiberglass insulation stuffed in between. Insulation in double walls is only part of the house’s thermal qualities: Ten inches of pillowy fiberglass in the attic qualify this solar house for “a super insulated” classification, Batchelder notes. uIt could be the best insulated home in the county,” he adds. Located on one-half acre at Rappahannock Lakes in Amissville, the house was built for resale. Construction began in 1982; the project was completed earlier this year. The house has not sold, however. Batchelder attributes this to declining energy costs which he believes have slowed consumer interest in solar homes. The house is owned and listed on the market by Batchelder’s father, Roger Batchelder, a realtor in the Town of Washington. The house combines active and passive solar systems. It also has electric baseboard heat as a backup, which is “seldom needed,” Batchelder says.

A circulating fan located in the attic pushes heat downward through corregated plastic pipes running through the walls and looping underneath the slab foundation. In addition, an outlet with its own fan propels solar-heated air into the living room. Passive solar heat pours in during winter through three Velux roof windows, one in each bedroom and a third in the bathroom. In summer, these Swedish-design windows can be swung open wide to gulp big breaths of fresh air-and they can be left open during a storm without allowing rain inside. Batchelder now is building a third solar home in Rappahannock at Mt. Shadow Farm in Harris Hollow. The solar house will replace a conventional home on the property that burned down a few months ago.

The complete text of the propoeed revision is available for public inspection at the Clerk's Office of the Circuit Court for Rappahannock County, Virginia in Washington, Virginia, and a copy is posted on the bulletin board inside the Rappahannock County Courthouso. Batchelder’s ad in the Rappahannock News. After contacting Mr. Batchelder, Marshall recalls spending many weekends with him to work out the details. Home ‘Experimental’ Mr. Batchelder calls the Barron home “experimental.” It’s the second house Mr. Batchelder has built that combines active and passive solar systems. “The whole design is basically economical and efficient. We really try to keep it as simple as possible,” Mr. Batchelder says. An “active” solar system means that the system needs an external source of energy for heat distribution. In the Barrons’ home, this is accomplished by an electric fan. A passive solar system doesn’t require any external source of energy to gather and distribute heat. The active solar system in the Barrons home is a closed, hot-air system. Sunlight heats air inside the solar panel, which is located in the middle of the roof. When the heated air reaches a certain temperature, a fan located in the attic automatically turns on, pushing the solar-heated air downward. The air flows through fourinch tubes that originate in the attic, run down through the wall, loop beneath the concrete-slab foundation, then return to the attic through the wall. According to Pearl and Marshall, this inexpensive solar system keeps the entire floor warm. In addition, radiant heat rises from the floor to help warm the entire house. On the evening of this report, when outside temperatures were in the high 30s, the Barrons' home was 70 degrees inside with nothing other than the solar heat collected and distributed by the system. Marshall also points out the passive-solar attributes of the home: two Velux windows of Swedish' design that take advantage of the home’s southern exposure by allowing sunshine to pour into the bedrooms on that side of the house. "The (Velux) windows are at a perfect angle to transmit light as compared to a regular verticle window,” Mr. Batchelder adds. Earth Berm, Too Adding greatly to the economics of the home is an envelope of insulation. "It’s a very well insulated house; that’s a big factor,” Marshall says.

School Board (Continued from Page 1) eral Assembly has seen fit to lay that kind of complication on the school divisions in the middle of a year,1* said Estabrook. “The budgetary implications of the mandate are pretty enormous, and to lay that burden on the schools in the middle of a year is disgusting.” Estabrook further said that he realized that the General Assembly was trying to find a way to avoid having too few people conduct all of the various studies that have to be made when a child is referred to the special program. He said that the problem he had with the change in policy js its timing. The Board approved Estabrook’s suggestion that he be allowed to request a waiver on the regulation from the state for the balance of the school year in an effort to find a solution for the county. The Board received a break down of a survey conducted by the administrative review board during its visit earlier this year. The review board surveyed parents, teachers and students on various aspects of the county’s schools. Estabrook told the Board that the survey results had been averaged, and that it was found that the positive to negative ratio on responses for the school system had been found to be three to one.

Estabrook replied that he would make a report on that question as more information returns from the data of the review board. In other business, the Board was told that $76,000 should pay for this fiscal year’s architectural costs from the firm of Smithey and Boynton for the high school expansion project. The total contract was $95,000. The Board asked Estabrook to keep the Board of Supervisors informed of architectural payments on a monthly basis. The Rappahannock County Women’s Club advised the Board that two pieces of new playground equipment are ready to be put up at the elementary school, and requested permission to set up the new equipment. The club raised funds for the equipment last year, and the Board approved its request to set up a four swing swing set and an horizontal ladder. The Board also expressed its gratitude for the Women’s Club effort. In executive session, the Board appointed Janet Jones to the substitute teacher list, and approved the appointment of Brenda Starr as a driver for the pre-school handicapped program. The Board also appointed Joan Hall as a substitute driver. The Board denied an employee’s request for a one year leave of absence, and appointed William Steven Cameron as science teacher at the high school. A non-resident’s request for admission to the schools was approved by the Board in executive session. Robert Estabrook was re-appointed by acclamation to a four year term as Superintendent of Schools beginning on July 1. By a consensus, the Board asked Estabrook to review the insurance portfolio and re-enter the insurance market to attempt to gain a more competitive price for auto insurance. The Board adjourned at 11:06 p.m. Librarians (Continued from Page 3) tually inclined and interested,” she say 8. She adds that communication among libraries in the county is “very good,” not just between the public schools but with the Rappahannock County Library, too, via its inter-library loan system. This system helps in particular when a teacher requires seven to 10 sources of information, Mrs. Scott says. Rappahannock High’s library budget for the most part is adequate, according to Mrs. Scott. She says the budget could be better; she’s also quick to note the importance of being realistic about costs. She looks forward to the future: to a new library that’s planned as part of the high school expansion; to newer, less tempermental audio-visual equipment; to the time when a librarian’s aide, even a part-time one, can be hired at the high school. For the time being, though, she seems content to work with things as they are. “It’s like juggling. You have to be able to do at least five things at once with a built-in clock so you don’t forget anything,” she admits. The high school library is a warm place, and not just because the sunshine pours in from an impressive row Leatkercoat Mountain to the east of The Plains, in the Bull Run chain was important to I8th century travelers as its exposed bare rock is such an easily recognizable landmark.

The students also write thank-you letters back to the entertainers who reply. “We always have a problem getting addresses, so if anyone knows how to get addresses like that we’d appreciate their help,” Mills said. Mills also uses newspapers to help the students develop comprehension, and the students discuss the parts of the paper, talk about current events and compare newspapers. Once every two months the students have chal lenge games on vocabulary, and the winner for the day receives a book. “They learn and they don't know it, which is the best way,” said Mills. Incorporated into the reading program are life skills like studying classified ads, developing map skills and learning about bills. “We teach them things that they will have to know about to survive," Mills said. The program is worthwhile and the children that have been in it appreciate it afterwards. It’s a service the school provides to try to do what it can.” Rappahannock New* PhouVJane Bangley Three of the volunteer students who made the bumper stickers for Reading Month view their handiwork.

CCRC Says Site Leaks “It now appears that the geologic fault which caused a nearby pond to leak runs directly through the site under consideration for a county landfill, and in fact, it runs from Rappahannock County all the way to Albermarle County,” said Frank Reynolds, attorney for Concerned Citizens of Rappahannock County (CCRC), a group of residents opposed to the proposed site. “We have now spoken with the geologist who studied the pond leakage back in 1968 for the Soil Conservation Service, and his response when told of the landfill plans was That’s bad,’ ” said Reynolds. At the December 3 Board of Supervisors meeting, CCRC presented a copy of a letter from the area conservationist for the Soil Conservation Service to the state conservationist. The letter stated that a thrust fault existed on property immediately to the north of the proposed landfill site. This fault was determined to be the cause of “excessive leakage” around the dam of the pond built on the site, according to the area conservationist. “According to the state geologist at SCS,” said Reynolds, “this fault runs approximately north-south, and therefore if you locate a landfill on the proposed site, you’re going to hit it. When I asked him if the fault could be plugged, I was informed that you could spend a lot of money trying, but you’re not going to stop it all.” Landfills collect leachate, which is the liquid material formed when water leaches through the landfill debris, and dissolves solid wastes or picks up other liquid materials present in the waste. Leachate is generally considered to be noxious, and it is this material that has contaminated ground and surface water in malfunctioning landfills. The CCRC has contended that a landfill located at the proposed site would pose a severe danger to the Rush and Covington Rivers, and to more than 26 private wells, which they say are downslope from the site. “The fault’s north-south direction runs directly from the Covington to the Rush River,” said Reynolds, “and we have been informed that due to the impervious nature of the bedrock below the site and the fault, the leachate will wick right back up to the fault and the fault will act just like a drain pipe.” “We have asked our own consulting hydrogeologist, W. R. Bierschenck, to comment on the presence of the fault, and he has agreed totally with the State Soil Conservation Serv Amissville ‘Dream\ Home (Continued from Page 13) free: Marshall needs only to switch off an attic fan and remove six “plugs” from the heat-transfer tubes in the attic to keep the system from kicking on in summer. So far, the best surprise has been no surprise, according to Marshall. “Nothing has gone wrong. That’s the surprise. I’ve heard interesting stories from others at work who are having homes built.” Earth-berm design is part of thermal envelope. Take Soil Samples *Now | If you haven’t taken soil samples I of your field, garden, or lawn yet, do it now. Don’t wait until spring to bring your samples to the Extension Office. This is the busiest time of year for everyone. Samples were delayed last spring as long as six weeks. Sample now, even if you play , to wait until spring to add the nutrients to your soil. It is not recommended that you add any nutrients to your soil until you i have sampled. Lime takes two to three years to work its way into soil. If you continue to add lime without sampling, especially on garden plots, you can run into a lot of problems. If the pH of the sod is too high or too low, certain nutrients become inaccessible to the plant. Don't delay. Sample now. ice people that this is a very serious problem,” said the attorney for the CCRC. “These statements are not those of a group of homeowners trying to protect their homes, but of several disinterested, experienced and competent professional experts. The county cannot ignore this information. The supervisors are now personally on notice that they are creating a severe danger and needless distress to many Rappahannock citizens if they consider this site any further. To spend one red cent on further consideration of this site would be wasteful and indefensible,” Reynolds concluded. Teachers at the schools encourage the entire community to participate in Reading Month hy stressing the importance and pleasure of reading. Some suggestions for the development of enthusiastic readers at home is for parents to be a role model by reading frequently, have appropriate reading materials available, read with children and have family members take turns reading aloud. With the combined efforts of home and school, interest in reading can be n improved, reading teachers concluded.
