The goal of the campaign is to emphasize that saeistance Is available for college expenaea and to encourage s greater number of students to apply for those funds. The campaign is sponsored by the VhgbiiaAaaodation of Student Financial Aid Administrators. Funds are available to help students pay for a four-year institution, community college, or vocational school of their choice. Students may qualify for scholarship, grant, loan, and/or employment money. Family income is only one factor in determining if a student is eligible for assistance. The cost of the education (tuition, etc.), the numbet of family members, and the number in college all affect eligibility for assistance. To initiate the process, students must complete appropriate financial aid forms for the school of their choice. To assist students and their parents in obtaining information about * financial aid, a toll-free telephone line is being provided by United Virginia Bank. This service will be available on the evenings of January 8-10 from 7 to 10 p.m. The toll-free number is 1-800-662-9006. In addition, a number of high school workshops will bo held during the month of January and televirion and radio programs will devote time to the ieeue of student financial aid. • Humane Society Meeting The Rappahannock Humane Society has been certified as a corporatise by the state, and will be holding a» organisations! masting on Monday, January 1st 7:80 p.m. in the courthouse. 4,1 The meeting will be Dor the election of officers, and the organisation of the group. Anyone interested in being an officer or in nominating aomaana tor an office should call Vince Hannon at 967-4061. The society will be electiong a president, vice prerident, secretary and treasurer. Anyone with ideas on committees which should be formed should call Hannon. O Fire Department Meeting The Flint'Hill Fire Department will hold a regular meeting on Wednesday, January 2 at 7:80 p.m. at the Flint Hill fire hall. • Bloodmobile In Warrenton flaafctna; to counteract the usual slowdown in blood collections during the holiday season, the Fauquier Chapter of the American Red Cross wul sponsor two Bloodmobties in the next week. The Bloodmobile will be at Vint HiD Farms Station on Friday, December 28, between the hours 9 A.M. and 12 noon, and three days later, on Monday, December 81, at Fauquier Hospital from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The public is welcome at both BloodmobOes. People from off the base should ask the guard at the entrance to Vint ICO the location of the Bloodmobile. At the hospital, the vehicle will be perked in the main parking lot at the entrance to the hospital. Anyone wishing to donate blood at the hospital is requested to telephone the hospital (347-2660, ext. 204) to arrange a suitable time, as space will be limited. Although the holiday season, with its potential for accidents, can be expected to require many blood transfusions, its also is a period when, because colds are so prevalent, fewer donors are available. That is why the Fauquier Chapter hbpes that people who have not given blood in the past two months, will volunteer at Vint Hill or the hospital. More and new blood donors are sorely needed, chapter officials assert. They report that in the twelve months that ended Nov. SO, Fauquier Hospital used 1686 units of blood while in the same period residents of Fauquier and Rappahannock counties contributed only 1026 units. Red Cross experience indicates that a population the size of Fauquier and Rappahannock (approximately 41,600) should be able to contribute a Mt more than 2000 units of blood in a twelve-month period. One of the problems is that in Fauquier/Rappahannock a relatively few people donate blood, something more than 600. Because many of them give blood more than once in a year, they manage to puah the Fauquier Chapter's annual blood collection to a little more than 1000 units. If only a fe w more people gave blood a few more times a year, chapter official* say, the annual goal of 1460 units could be achieved. Because the body replaces blood rapidly a donor can give blood aa many as six times a year, or once every two months. • Older Drivers May Earn Discount Virginia driven age 66 and older will be eligible for reduced auto insurance rates after January 1,1986 when they complete a safe driving course approved by the Division of Motor Vehicles, according to a new state kw. DMV Commissioner Donald E. Williams said each insurance company will be allowed to set the discount amount. Companies must provide reduced rates when approved courses are completed after January 1, but they have the option of offering lower rates to individuals who complete approved courses before that date. “Older driven have special needs,” Mr. Williams said, "and this insurance discount should be an incentive to help meet some of those needs. By linking the price break to highway safety instruction, there’s a good chance these driven may learn something that will save their After completing a course, drivers are eligible for a discount for three yean and may renew their eligibility by repeating the course. DMV has approved “66 Alive,” a course sponsored by the American Association of Retired Persons. The course is offered at 26 Virginia locations, at a cost of |7 per person.

Citizens Qf The Year A Husband-WifmTearn From SperryviUe Earns The ’84 Honor By JON HEDDLE8TON Mr. and Mrs. James P. Jamieson are the kind of people who Just never atop working. According to mends and associates, the Jamiesons are people who pick up on a project and roll with it to fruition. Fortunately for Rappahannock County, their labor often begins here. For 1964, Mary and James Jamieson are the Rappahannock Afoot Citizens of the Year, selected by the news staff for their role in the betterment of Rappahannock County. It’s a role that’s not limited to events that have taken {dace in 1964, although, had that been the only criteria, they both still would have been selected. This year, while Mrs. Jamieson continued volunteer work that has helped the Rappahannock County Library continue to grow, Mr. Jamieson also volunteered, helping the Water and Sewer Authority (WSA) secure bond financing that has ensured construction of a waste water treatment plant for SperryviDe. Mrs. Jamieson’s work at the Rap* pahaimock County Library has touched every resident who’s ever walked through the door. Daring the 12 yean she served as chairman of the library’s board of trustees, from AprB 22,1970 to April 12, 1962, the library was transformed from a less than part* time operation to a more than fcH-tbne one, offering educational and recreational programs well beyond normal operating hours. Virtually everything the library offered leaped to new levels during her tenure inducting the number of books owned by the library, the circulation of books and non-book materials, the* number of registered and active borrowers using the library ahd'hbrary sponsored lecture ind programs. Pos* her work, Mrs. Jsmieaon in 1961 was; named "Virginia Library Trustee of the Year" and “Rappahannock Trustee of the Decade." St Having turned over the onship nearly three yean ago, Jamieson "hasn't quit working op untQ now," said Librarian Sms. “Like A Locomotive" • According to Mrs. Sima, Mn. Jamtaeon has continued to expand and dnMop more new programs at the library. This year as program chairman, Mm. Jamieson worked to bring to the Unary lectures on Japanese Floral Arranging, Oriental rugs and another .Ibft; a bos trip to see the play “Amadeus.” Truman Keeaey, also a member at the program committee who helped to aarange the “Amadeus” trip, said Mrs. Jamieson “never quit” in her quest to fat more people to participate in this Maiden voyage. Mr. Keeaey recalled that Mrs. Jamieson sold tickets nearly to; the final hour—even on horseback While riding with friends. : “Mary is real energetic. She’s pam*; she’s a pusher,” offered E.P. Ldke, who succeeded Mrs. Jamieson aa chairman of the library’s trustees. “She has a seriousness of purpose to get tho job done. She's like a locomotive. When aha gets going, she’s hard to stop.” Col. Luke said that Mr. and Mrs. Jijninson both have worked hard to mike the Rappahannock County Library a better place. “They’ve been gneat for the county. They’ve always had the interests of this county at habrt.” Established “Friencb” Mr. Jamieson was instrumental in .astabliwhing Friends of the Rappahannock County library, Inc., organised in 1974 “exclusively tor the purposes of minting the Rappahannock County Library in any manner whatsoever in the management, functioning, acquiritfooef holdings provision of staff and atriitinks, phunwng and execution of programs, and any other means of providing library services to the dtisens of Rappahannock County...," its charter reads. Mr. and Mrs. James P. Jamieson (2nd row) were behind Byrd Jones on July 30, when Mrs. Jones passed the deed for 13,111.36 square feet of land to “Friends” Chairman Charles Russell. The land gift was a first for the library. Primarily, “Friends'’ provides financial assistance to the library, picking up the tab when Ainds coming to the library from the federal, state and county governments are depleted. This ■upport the__„ „_ “Friend*" also sponsors some of the library’s special programs. According to Mrs. Sms, Mr. Ja(Continued on Page 3) Commission Recommends Abandoning Discussion Of Site By JANE BANGLEY NfdMMdillmMrWito Rappahannock’s Planning Commiaaion voted to recommend to the Bond of Supervisors that they abandon any further consideration of the proposed landfill site on Route 621. The commission meeting on Wednesday, December 19 was attended by approximately 45 members of the Concerned Citizens of Rappahannock County (CCRC), and members of the organization and their legal couned, Frank Reynolds, presented information to the commissioners in support of their position that the proposed site is in conflict with the county’s comprehensive plan. Before the public hearing on the landfill began, planning commissioner Newbill Miller advised the commission that he would be abstaining from any discussion or vote on the matter. Miller told the commission that his name had appeared on a list of property owners in the area of the proposed site whose land could sustain a 10-20 percent depredation in value if the landfill is approved. Commissioner Miller also told the commission that the Washington Toon Council had received information on a. series of faults from Flint Hfll to SperryviQe. The information was received from Jerry Sanford, regional geologist with the State Water Control Board. “I would like to see the Planning Commission recommend to the Board of Supervisors to see if we couldn’t get a geologist to see if he couldn’t identity the location of these faults on this line so that any landfill that’s put in certainly won’t contaminate our groundwater,” Miller said. Reynolds spoke to the commission on behalf at the CCRC, and he asked the commissioners not to consider the question of could a landfill be placed at the proposed site but should a landfill be placed there. "We feel that if you look at the comprehensive plan, if you lode at the zoning ordinance, if you look at the state regulations on landfills, if you look at federal regulations that have changed just last month then we fed that all of that points you to a position that it is not in the county’s interest to put a landfill at this Bite, and that in fact a landfill at any site in Rappahannock County is going to. be quite difficult to do in a way that you are sure or reasonably sure that you aren’t going to do what Mr. Miller was just about and that is pollute the groundwater,” Reynolds said. Reynolds used information summarized from reports by professionals from state agencies and other counties to compare the proposed site with the guidelines of the comprehensive plan. "The geologist’s report that we have and all of the information that we can find shows us that the soils of this particular site...are the types of soils that are rather porous, loose and there is a tremendous problem with seepage,” Reynolds said. Due to the problems with seepage, Reynolds said that several professionals had stated that a landfill at the site would not be a good idea. Information from a professional geologist indicated that one of the fruits mentioned by commissioner Miller is located on the proposed site. “I don’t think that the Board of Supervisors was aware of that at the time, and I don’t thinft that they did it in reckless disregard of that I think that they did it without the knowledge of that,” said Reynolds. “I’m sure when they have learned as much as we already know about this particular situation they will realize what that problem will be.” The presence of the fruit was found by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service when a pond on property adjacent to the proposed site would not hold water. Water from the pond was running into the Rush River by way of the fault. "When I discussed this matter with him (the geologist) without telling him that there was a landfill proposed to be here he was telling me about this, and when we finally mentioned the fact that they were proposing a landfill his first comment was That’s bad,m said Reynolds. Reynolds told the commission that the geologist said that the fault would act as a drainpipe from the landfill in any direction that gravity would make the pollution run. The effects of a proposal on the transportation network is a consideration listed in the comprehensive plan. The property is located on Route 621 which is a secondary road. Reynolds told the commission that the narrowness, curves and hills on Route 626 that would be used by the public to get to the site from one direction would make a trip to the landfill dangerous. Reynolds said that now Route 621 coming in from the other direction is unpaved with steep hills and is even narrower than Route 626.

But, the significance of the following 10 news Hems practically begs front-page status, we believe, rightfully so. To get this piece more out of the subjective and into the objective realm, the Rappahannock Naum staff didn’t pick and choose in a vacuum.

Number lit: Public schools; ■' Adult home. Wo MMnd with which news kern was mors significant, and first has been left up to readers. The Board of Supervisors last spring voted to increase by more than ' threefold the county’s financial support of Rappahannock’s Public Schools. County binding of public education leaped from $100,000 for fiscal year ’83*84 to $880,000 for fiscal’84-’86. Some nine months after that decision, School Superintendent Robert Estabreok still is elated. Most rewarding: *Tbe potential that it holds,” be saya. Mudi at the increased county support baa bean gobbled up in capital outlay for renovation planned at the high school. Evan so, the decision by the Board ct Supervisors is a commitment to the “future," according to Estabrook. The future should begin to take shape at the high school soon; Estabrook says ha expects to aeaprelimiwfll look tike around the first of the yMr* Estabrook believes a supportive public and improved communication among the supervisors, the School Board and school administrators fostered a better understanding of educational needs this year. He dted a special public meeting last March during which the supervisors, the School Board and school administrators discussed each line item in the proposed budget. The interaction and dialogue were helpful,” Estabrook recalls, noting that in past years the School Board simply gave the supervisors a copy of the proposed budget and expected them to vote. “We appreciate the support (of the supervisors)...It’s very much in keeping with the trend of the times. Kids are being an ever-morecompetitive world.” An adult home proposed to be built in Harris Hollow became an environmental issue of nutfar importance in the comity during 1964, an issue that sot the stage for more participation in county affairs on the part of citizens this year. At the source of the dispute among people who wanted to build the home for adults and people who lived in Harris Hollow: Could the waste water treatment facility proposed for the project malfunction and cause pollution of the Rush River and eventual seepage into the Town of Washington’s water supply? The Board of Supervisors decision not to endorse industrial-development bonds needed for financing dealt a critical and final blow to the project late in June. John Clark, a resident of Harris Hollow, says the episode “was the story of the year Cm- us.” The signifi“It was the first time have really eome out (to fight possible) pollution st the top of the watershed.” According to Clark, people with *wy Httle experience” organised and (Cqutinued on PageS)

New Year’s History The celebration of New Year’s Day on January 1 began in the English colonies In 1762. Until that time, New Year’s had been celebrated on March 26, and in some colonies that practice continued because the Puritans were concerned about the seeming reverence for the pagan god Janus if celebrations occurred on January 1. The Dutch settlers in the New World observed New Year’s Day as a nuyor holiday when they would visit each other and give gifts. The British settlers adopted the Dutch customs, but added a turkey shoot to the day’s festivities. An ancient practice in Scotland on New Year’s Day had been for boys to go from house to house singing and taking for food or money. The song they would sing was: I wish you a Merry Christmas/And a Happy New Year/A pocketful of money/And a cellar fell of beer,/And a fat good pig/To serve you all the year./Ladies and gentlemen Officers Elected The Amiasville Ruritan Club held its monthly meeting on Wednesday, December 19 at the Amiasville Baptist Church. Along with final arrangements for distribution of food, fruit baskets, flowers and a recap of last yean achievement, the new officers were installed for 1965. Paul Mercer, past Rappahannock Zone Governor officiated the ceremonies. Officers installed were: Louis Jenkins, President; Gilbert Lawrence, Vice-President; Charlie Priest, Secretary, Charlie Mills, Treasurer, one year director George Kidwell and two year director Nelson Burner. The Ruritans would like to thank the community for their summit throughout the past year and are looking forward to an exciting New Year.

Dog m»*m WHY VALUE INCREASES Very few people have lost money in real estate ownership. The reason is simple. More often than not, real estate values increase as time goes on. There are many reasons why property value will increase such as: bettering the property, changes in zoning, etc., but one which happens all by itself, with little help from the property-owner, is inflation. Why does this happen? To begin with, real estate is typically heavily reliant on borrowed money. Borrowers benefit from inflation because they are able to repay their loans with cheaper dollars. Inflation can also benefit a real estate investment by generally allowing owners to increase rents by amounts greater than the expenses increase. This disproportionately increases the cash flow. The reason: Rents start out higher than expenses, and the loan payments normally remain fixed. Remember, the value of investment property is always a function of its income. A dramatic increase in income should result in an equally dramatic increase in value. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M.

Boys in rural New York adopted the first four lines of the song as a holiday greeting. The Scottish, English and Dutch customs have blended in America. Hie Presidents of the United States started holding an open house on January 1 with George Washington that ended in 1934 with Franklin Roosevelt. The custom of visiting on New Year’s Day has generally declined in the U.S. during the 20th century. New Year’s Day at one time was the day when men would visit their women friends, and the practice reached its height in the latter part of the 19th century. In the U.S. today, parties usually are held on New Year’s Eve with New Year’s being a relatively quiet day. Hie most widespread tradition for modern Americans is to watch televised parades and football games on January 1. Other Americans like the Indians and Eskimos hold traditional Hsnnes and games on New Year’s. New Mexican Indians have corn, turtle, buffalo and deer dances, and the Crow Indians in Montana perform their versions of New Year’s dances. Eskimos in Sitka, Alaska hold games on the day. Information for thit ttory hoi taken from The American Book of Day• by Jane M. Hatch, and the Book of Festival* by Dorothy Gladye Spicer. Mary Jamieson especially is active on July 4. “She’ll do anything for the library,” says Librarian Grace Sims. Citizens Of The Year (Continued from Page 1) mieson still writes the annual fund raising letter for “Friends,” a letter that always manages to coax smiles from its readers. His commitment to the county this year went beyond the needs of the library. A Financial “Wizard” Considered a financial wizard by newspaper columnists in New York, Chicago, Anchorage and elsewhere, Mr. Jamieson has spent 62 years in the securities business. This experience, according to a Chicago Tribune report of October 1972, “has earned Jamieson an almost legendary reputation among Ms peers.” It’s this financial experience Mr. Jamieson has shared for years with the library and the Rappahannock Hunt Club. This year, on a voluntary basis, he also shared it with the county’s Water and Sewer Authority (WSA). Some time ago, Carson Johnson, WSA member from Sperryville, attended a financial discussion directed by Mr. Jamieson at the Rappahannock County Library. Mr. Johnson had not forgotten Mr. Jamieson’s presentation when a report some two inches thick on the financial needs of the Authority came before WSA members earlier this year. “I saw Jamie Jamieson at the Sperryville Post Office six or eight months ago, and asked him for a little of his advice,” Mr. Johnson recalled. “He told me he’d look the proposals over and see if he could be of any he4>. As it turned out, he was a tremendous help.” Mr. Jamieson worked for months to secure bonds that were required for up-front money, a million dollars for the Sperryville sewer project that- will be reimbursed via EPA and HUD fluids. As WSA uses hinds derived from the sale to private investors of these bonds, the bonds also will earn interest that will go toward payment of the project. “A million dollars is beyond my comprehension to begin with,” Mr. Johnson offered. Mr. Jamieson jumped hurdles I think me and most of the members would not have been able to overcome.” With financial hurdles jumped along with numerous other challenges WSA members overcame during 1984, Mr. Johnson proudly announced during a community meeting on the proposed coning ordinance held in Sperryville December 11: “As of 11 o’clock today, money for the Sperryville sewer project is in the bank.” Having the Jamiesons behind Rappahannock is like having a dollar that’s backed by gold. Said J.W. Fletcher, longtime friend of the Jamiesons: ’They never slack up in the least: for the community, friends and neighborhood.” A Most Memorable Year In Rappahannock County (Continued from Page I) were effective. "You can do something if you set your head to it and have the right attitude.. .It was a common cause; anyone would sympathize with us.” Clark adds that residents view protection of Rush River and the town’s water supply as unfinished business. He says the Rush River Defense Group, which formed (hiring debate over the proposed adult home, has two of three “priortites” still outstanding; to get the commercial property in Harris Hollow downzoned; to have Rush River classified again as a trout stream. Number 3: Spenyville Sewei System. The top story of 1983 again is among the newsmakers for ’84. Last year at this time, the Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority (WSA) knew the county would receive Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funding; this year, WSA had to secure that funding. This task, in addition to stacks of paperwork, selection of contractors and numerous loose ends to tie, became a major success story for WSA members this year. Carson Johnson, WSA member from SperryviUe, recalls the enormity of the project during 1984. "It’s very frustrating to say the least. I guess in one sense I can appreciate what seems to be the complexity of it; on the other hand, the money that you spend in red tape (is overwhelming),” Johnson offers. Johnson explains that virtually all the actual legwork to secure engineers, contractors and guaranteed financing of the project was completed this year. "It all had to be checked out, and was contingent not on one agency, but many,” he notes. Even though EPA and HUD ftinds initially had been promised for reimbusement of the sewer project, WSA had to secure up-front money to pay for services while awaiting EPA and HUD reimbursement. Johnson says this was accomplished via the financial wizardry and hard work of James P. Jamieson, semiretired financial expert and resident of SperryviUe, who volunteered to help WSA. "As it turned out, he was a tremendous help...Once (Mr. Jamieson) got into it, it became a challenge for him, I think. He overcame hurdles I think me and most of the members would not have been able to overcome,” Johnson recalls. WSA secured bond financing for the project in Richmond on December 11, money that will be reimbursed by EPA and HUD. Among other WSA accomplishments this year. Approval of final plans for the project at county, state and federal levels; recommendation of firms for contract to complete the work (one DENTURES WORTH SMIUNG ABOUT!

"It’s certainly been one of the highlights (of the year). It has seemed to all come together for us,” Johnson says. Number 4: Proposed zoning ordinance. Rappahannock’s Planning Commission during 1984 brought a proposed zoning ordinance to public hearing in August, then worked the remainder of the year to solicit more public comment on the proposed document and zoning maps. The 220-page proposed zoning ordinance, up from a 60-page 1973 Zoning Ordinance, was criticised for being too long and complex. Rappahannock Public Action Committee (RPAC), a citizens’ group, formed and called for tabling of the proposed zoning ordinance. RPAC garnered more than 1,000 signatures of citizens in two petitions presented to the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors. Other residents supported the proposed document when “community” meetings, conducted by district between October and mid-December, took place. Proponents called the length and legalese of the proposed zoning ordinance justifiable, and told the Planning Commission they wanted a zoning ordinance that would protect the county from uncontrolled development. The Planning Commission is scheduled to continue revisions of the proposed zoning ordinance in 1985, when the planning commissioners will consider suggestions made by residents during the five community meetings. The Planning Commission then will forward the proposed zoning ordinance and proposed zoning maps to the Board of Supervisors, which can make other changes and must conduct a public hearing on the document and maps, once finalized. No one has placed a firm date on completion of the zoning-ordinance project; the supervisors became increasingly involved in the proceedings this year, with many board members attending and participating in the community meetings. Number 5: County landfill. After appointing a Landfill/Animal Shelter subcommittee in August, the Board of Supervisors continued a longstanding search for a place to locate a county landfill. The search culminated in November, when the supervisors announced plans to condemn of 138-acre tract located on Route 621 near Peyton Farm Estates. Opposition to the proposed location was immediate and well-organized; the Concerned Citizens of Rappahannock County (CCRC) formed to convince the supervisors better site locations were available at a more reasonable cost to taxpayers. CCRC also claimed environmental damage would be eminent at the proposed site, and brought documentation before the Board to support its claims. Hie Board of Supervisors on December 12 interviewed six engineering experts in its search for one to help the Board determine whether or not the proposed site would be suitable. Following that meeting, Board members said they would delay plans to condemn the 138-acre tract in order to pursue fiirther the possiblility of transporting trash outside of Rappahannock County. Number 6: Animal shelter. Closely related, the Board of Supervisors in 1964 also searched for a solution to longstanding inlmal-ahelter woes. The search began again in earnest when a June 25 inspection of county animal shelter facilities found the county out of compliance in nine of 11 areas. . The county was petitioned October 1 by the Virginia Federation of Humane Societies, which claimed only five percent of Virginia’s counties continue not to conform to mandated animalwelfare laws. The petition, which is a first step to have the situation resolved in court, still is pending. The supervisors announced in December plans to upgrade facilities on the property of Animal Warden Jack Bruce as a temporary measure until an animal-shelter site, possibly combined with a landfill site, can be secured. Number 7: Jail completion. Completed remodeling of the county jail, which became totally operational in March, made for improvements in law enforcement capabilities, says Rappahannock Sheriff John Henry Woodward, who was sworn in the first of the year. Although final cost reports for 1984 were not completed at the time of this report, Sheriff Woodward believes the county will save money in some areas such as reduction of transportation costs among counties, which was necessary prior to holding prisoners in the county. Prisoners also have been able to complete work in the courtyard and on county facilities, an option the county previously did not have. A fully operational dispatch center enables the Sheriffs Department to dispatch all department and emergency calls, which also has improved service, the sheriff says. The sheriff notes that everyone was “surprised” by the number and frequency of emergency and department calls, many of which previously were routed through the state police and Culpeper. "They (state and Culpeper) did a great deed for the number of years they did it,” Sheriff Woodward notes. With dispatching from the Sheriff’s Department now in fiill operation, Sheriff Woodward looks to smoothing the operation out in 1965, and does not see the need for many changes in dispatching or the jail “The supervisors have been excellent...The jail’s a new operation. I was able to budget enough and we’ve been able to do what we needed to.* Number 8: Rappahannock Humane Society. Formation of the Rappahannock Humane Society (RHS) was a significant development in the county this year for two reasons: the obvious, which is animal welfare, and the notso-obvious, cooperation between RHS and the Bond of Supervisors.

AnM* JtaWW&annockiidMi V THURSDAY. DECEMBER27,1964 Thanks, And Be Positive The coming of m new year, like a turning point, is a time for reflection and a time for looking ahead. As editor of the Rappahannock News for eight months, I’ve taken some time to think about the past and future. I’m thankfhl for having had the opportunity to serve Rappahannock County as the editor of this weekly newspaper. I’ve learned firsthand the awesome responsibility a newspaper has to the public. I’ve also learned about the cooperative, as well as the driving, force a newspaper can be in a community. Especially here, a newspaper needs participation by citizens. No AP or UPI wires tie the Rappahannock News in with the rest of the world, nor would we want it that way. People who live here are the new links that are most important. And Pm thankful so many people help to keep this newspaper abreast of the news by taking time to call, write or talk to us when they see us. The people of Rappahannock are special. They love their county with a fierceness often only associated with love of country. I believe this newspaper ought to be counted in that love for Rappahannock, too. Another editor will assume in January the responsibility of keeping people informed. No doubt this person will have much to learn about this wpnderful place and the special people who again will help a newcomer to learn. I leave this position with only one hope for people who bring their love, aspirations— and anxieties—here: to be positive. There’s some brightness in everything. Like the mechanic who brings an engine back to life, fixing things just takes people willing to search for the spark—then build upon it once found. In this column, on a page set aside for opinions, anyone can preach. My preach is this: Be positive. It’s the basis of the best philosophy whether at work, school, home or leisure. And there are more positive things in Rappahannock than anywhere else I know. This Was The News In Bygone Rappahannock Times... 34 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS According to a bulletin from Hollins College, Miss Louise Miller has been chosen as one of eight seniors for representation in “Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges.” Among those expected home from the various schools for the Christmas holidays are Jack Brown, James Thornton, Dave Miller, and Bob Thompson of VPI; Joan Kelly Aylor, Rena Mae Green, Jean Brown, Mary Karland Fineham, Jo Ellen Worth, and Gladys Reid of Madison College; Jim Maasie of the University of Virginia; Louise Miller of Hollins College; Mary Massie Lea of Stuart Hall; Brooke Moffett and Jimmie Johnson of the Medical College of Virginia,- John Peyton Snead, III of Woodberry Forest; Nancy Yowefl of William and Mary and Amos Hawkins of the University of Richmond. 24 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS The annual Christmas luncheon of the ^ppshannock Garden Chib was held at Cab Inn, Sperryville, Saturday, December 10th at 1 p.m. Thirteen members and two guests attended.

Feasible Solution To the editor: I wm glad to aee the headline about trash diapoaal in the December 20 edition of the Rappahannock Newt. In my opinion, hauling to an energy produdngfadlity such as the one in Hanriaonburg is the only fbaaibie longterni aohition for traeh disposal by the was brought out at the hearing held by the Planning Conniaaion on Dawnihar 19, no landfill can be node eompletly safe for those living in the vicinity of where it ia located. Thtn, it would be a hazard to their health, or create much anxiety even if safe. In addition, a landfill would absolutely ruin the value of cloee by property. I urge the dtisena of Rappahannock County to assist our Supervisors in seeking a solution to trash disposal through hauling. There is no site for a b®dfill in the county that wouldn’t adversely and traumatically affect those living in its vidnfty.- * 4 ALBERT DOUB AmissviDe -Our Rappahannock Heritage Letters To The Editor Appeal To Regional Approach To the editor The Planning Commission’s unanimous decision that the proposed landfill site on the Margohs tract is not in compliance with seven (7) objectives of the county’s Comprehensive Plan deserves the commendation and the wholehearted thanks of every landholder and resident of the county. The Concerned Citizens of Rappahannock County congratulates the Planning Commission on its decisive action. The Commission’s emphatic votes against the site raise this question: Why, with exactly the same information from all the same experts, has the Board of Supervisors refused to drop its proposal to locate a sanitary landfill on this wholly unacceptable site? Why does it persist, so needlessly, in holding this threat over scores of residents all around that tract, particularly with the knowledge of an underground fissure running directly through the site and the new awareness that any landfill is likely to be prohibitively expensive for a county with a population and trash volume as small as ours? And why has the Board failed to take advantage of the offer from BFI— one of the largest waste-management firms in the world—to make a free analysis of the county’s trash problem, with the real possibility that BFI itself might make the county a contract offer it could not turn down? The Planning Commission’s forceful action surely removes the lastexcuse the Supervisors might have had for clinging to the Margolis tract. We urge the Board to drop that discredited site and to shift its focus to alternative solutions of this problem, particularly the exporting of our trash to energy producing disposal facilities that are already established or could be set up on a regional basis. The optimal final solution to the trash problem of Rappahannock and other counties must provide for recycling of all materials that can in any way be re-used and the conversionof the remainder into forms of needed energy. This suggests that a regional approach should be used so that two or more counties of low population can combine into Regional Energy Production Authorities. Waste-to-energy con version plants can sell that electricity to the public utility companies, which are now—by federal law—required to buy it at reasonable rates. The actual hauling of trash to thin type of central facility could be done by private enterprise, thus relieving county governments of the haulage expense. In addition, Section 4001 of the Federal Solid-Waste Disposal Act provides for technical and financial assistance for the development of Regional Solid Waste Management Services. This section specifically deals with waste materials of the sort that normally goes into sanitary landfills. Other Federal authority deals with toxic and hazardous waste materials. Even in the short run, during the years needed to finalize an optimal solution, a sanitary landfill is not a good buy and makes no economic sense. We have learned recently that Clarke County, Va., with a population of 9,966 in 1980, spends only $20,000 per year for solid-waste management. (Rappahannock County, with 6,000 residents, currently spends $60,000 a year.) Clarice County, along with the city of Winchester, has an agreement with Frederick County to use their landfill. According to the Clarke County Administrator, “We pay more per ton to use the landfill than does Winchester, but it is worth it to us. It would cost us about $100,000 a year to run a landfill. So it’s a good deal for both Frederick County and Clarke County.” And Clarice County has reduced the public costs by allowing local private hauling businesses to contract with residents to haul their trash. The Concerned Citizens of Rappahannock County wish to assure the Board of Supervisors that we pledge ourselves to help in whatever manner requested in order to find a proper final solution for the entire county. We join hands with the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, the Isaak Walton League, the Harris Hollow Group and any others who will work with the Board of Supervision in advisory capacities. THE CONCERNED CITIZENS OF RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY Delbert Price Chairman Thanks To Volunteers To the editor The Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year with safety and happiness for 1985. Our Rescue Squad began being dispatched in 1984 by the Rappahax. nock Sheriffs Department. This service has allowed more members to respond quicker on calls for our community. We would like to thank all the dispatchers for their well done services. Our Rescue Squad has responded on approximately 100 calls in 1984. From these calls, 3 individuals stand out, James Burke, Curtis Crawford and Jody Wingfield. These individuals ran over GO percent of all our «•»!!■ These people are all volunteers. When a call comes in, they stop what they are doing (chores, working or re bring) to go to the aide of another human being. It is something which takes special, dedicated people to do, and I would like to thank all our members for their dedication. Our remaining members who ran calls in 1984 were: Cecil Baldwin, Julian Brown, Kim Burke, Opie Crawford, Donald Gore, Joan Jenkins, Walter Jenkins, Carson Johnson, Sherry Johnson, Mike Lamm, Nancy Leake, Steve Leake, Martha ODannon, Ann Spieker, Dennis Wingfield and Denise Wingfield. Please support your local fire and rescue service and their volunteers. We need your support to survive, so that we may help you and your families. Thank you again for your support and God bless you in 1966.

The Hunting Of The Mandate By EUGENE J. MCCARTHY Hie weeks immediately following a {residential election, that ia, every four yean, mandate hunting season arrives. Sometimes the hunting of the mandate, and the finding of it, is easy, as expert observers noted after the victory of Richard Nixon in 1972. He was given a mandate, it waa said, by the voters, but it escaped in the disorder of Watergate. Following the election of Jimmy Carter, by a narrow majority in 1976 experts questioned whether or not he had a mandate. There was some affirmative speculation that he did have one, but that it was not in evidence, but waa possibly being kept on the third floor of the White House, or by Rosalyn or even Amy on the second floor. However, last summer, the former Vice President Walter Mondate, who as a candidate argued that he deserved the Democratic nomination in part because he knew his way around the White House, said that one of President Carter’s problems was that he never did have a mandate in the White House. As quoted in 7Yme Mr. Mondale said, “Let me tell you, being in the White House without a mandate is pure hell.” Earlier in the Carter Administration, Marquis Childs, a long time sura observer, had announced that President Carter no longer had an “aura” of leadership. President Carter was also trying to carry mi—according to some observers—without a consensus, and as the former vice president said at the same time, that he revealed the absence of the mandate in the White House; President Carter didn’t even have an “agenda" to lean on. President Carter, one must say in retrospect, did very well considering that he had no consensus, no aura, no agenda, and especially, no mandate. The early commentators on President Reagan’s landslide victory this year said that he had won, or had been given, a mandate. Not ao, according to the New York Timet of Sunday, November 11. A new method of determining whether a newly elected president has a mandate, or does not have one, has been introduced: It is more objective, more quantitative, possibly mote democratic than those need in the past Poft, author, former U. S. Senator from Minnesota and candidate for the presidency, Eugene McCarthy now lives intheF.T. Valley near Slate Mills. It is the New York Times/CBS National Poll. That poll found, according to the Times, and, I assume, according to CBS, that President Reagan failed to obtain a mandate in that election. If Presidents do need a mandate, as the former vice president said, possibly as medieval kings needed a falcon or two, (and evidently Saudi Arabian princes do, if the reports of their being willing to pay as much as $100,000 for a female gyrfalcon are true) to sustain their royal egos, and the ldng of Ethiopia, a brace of lions on golden chains, as evidence of regal power, than President Reagan may be in trouble. He may be in the position of the tenderfoot, holding the bag in the snipe hunt, waiting for the beaten, who have in fact gone off to bed or to a tavern, to drive the snipe into hia waiting bag. Although TIME/CB8 have not reported the results of polling on the matters of aura, consensus, and agenda, the less scientific experts generally agree that the president has a ■lightly warm aura, a vague consensus—barely intact, like a high cloud— and a "residual agenda.”

BZA Approves Saltsonstall Applications By JANE BANGLEY »■»>!> ml W«w. Staff WrtUr The Board of Zoning Appeals approved two special use permits applied for by Patricia Saltonstall of Flint Hill during its meeting on Thursday, December 20. The decision was made after approximately three hours of public hearing and deliberation on the applications. The special use permit applications involved two lots that Saltonstall owns in the Lindgren “Whaley Tract” located off of Route 729. The application for Lot F of the tract asked for the maintenance of a house built on the lot that the BZA found on September 26 to be in violation of the zoning ordinance. The BZA found that the house is a duplex built in a conservation district, and the board had denied a special use permit application for the house in October of 1983. The application for Lot G was for the construction of a dwelling similar in design to the house on Lot F. The board considered the applications during its meeting on November 28, but did not make a decision at that time because all of the members had not made a required on-site inspection, Roger Kidwell spoke in opposition to the applications. He told the board that he did not understand why Saltonstall needed a special use permit application for the house on Lot F since the house was to be maintained as a single family dwelling. Kidwell was referring to the September 26 decision which the Board of Supervisors had acted on by requiring the house on Lot F to be used for single family purposes. Kidwell also stated that granting the applications would set a precedence that would allow the building of multifamily dwellings in the county, and that the duplex nature of the buildings would adversely affect the property values of the area. In response to these concerns, Doug Baumgardner, legal counsel for Saltonstall, called on Walter A. Robinson. Robinson, a real estate appraiser and land use consultant from Fauquier County, gave testimony on the applications at the November 28 meeting, also. He began his testimony on Thursday with information on the effect duplexes have had on land value. Robinson told the BZA members that he had information on four properties along Route 622 in Castleton that have recently been sold. One of the houses has an apartment in the house. Hie other three houses are near the house with the apartment, and all of the houses have recently been sold at increased values. “From every property that I’ve looked at, and there were six of i these that I studied, none of them had gone down in value,” said Robinson. Baumgardner told Robinson that one of the findings the board would have to make would be whether or not the proposed use of the land for duplexes would be detrimental to the public welfare. Baumgardner then asked Robinson about rental costs in the county. “For the subject property, one bedroom would be $175 to $200, and this is without utilities with a typical lease for residential property...for the two bedroom the typical rent would be $225 to $275...for a typical house the rental would be $325 to $375,” said Robinson. Robinson told the board that to be able to afford to rent a typical house with 900 to 1000 square feet of living space in Rappahannock, a person would have to make at least $15,000 to $18,000 a year. To pay rent on a one bedroom property, Robinson said that a person would have to make $8,400 to $9,600 a year. An income of $10,800 to $13,200 would be required to pay rent on a two bedroom house or apartment in Rappahannock according to Robinson. “Would it be fair to say that a policy decision that would require the construction of conventional single family dwellings would be tantamount to saying that only people with incomes x number of dollars or higher could locate and live in the area,” asked Baumgardner. Robinson replied that “If they can’t pay the rent I’m sure the landlord won’t let them live there.” Baumgardner then asked Robinson about data on the average income in Rappahannock County. Using the 1979-BO census data, Robinson said that the median income in Rappahannock was $14,583. Robinson said that the distribution of income in Rappahannock is “skewed in both directions towards both extremes.” By this he meant that there is a low income population and a high income population with a very small number of people in a middle income range. From this data, Robinson drew the conclusion that half of Rappahannock’s population can afford to pay rent and the other half can not Baumgardner then asked Robinson about the availability of housing in Rappahannock. “There is a tremendous demand for Bousing, both owner occupied and tenant occupied, in this county most especially with rental occupancy where we’ve got as many as six people living in a dwelling,” said Robinson. Robinson also said that there is a special need for farm worker housing because the median income for farm workers in 1979 was $6,226. Robinson gave information on building permits issued in Rappahannock from 1976 to 1983 which demonstrated tha&ihe majority of permits issued were fa* single fondhr dwellings. Baumgardner argued that the data that Rohfoeasi had gathered demonstrated the need for housing such as ' the dwellings on Lots F and G would provide, and that therefore the proposed uses for the lots would be in the best interest of the public. He also maintained that there would be no adverse impact on the environment or the health and safety of area residents. Baumgardner said that a denial of the applications would be in private rather than the public interest. BZA Chairman Lee Bird told the other members that the special use permit application for the house on Lot F was a new application that forced the board to reconsider the view of the zoning ordinance and the comprehensive plan taken before that a 25 acre lot in a conservation district should have a single family house on it. Board member Peter Kramer voiced his concerns over the possibility of the properties being sold by Sal tons tall at some time, and over the precedent that the board would be setting that would have implications for the future. “I think that there is a difference in how land is affected by multi-family dwellings by a number of factors,” said Kramer. “The type of ownership is significant.” Kramer said that from his experience it is better if the owner occupies the dwelling, and that there are problems with absentee owners. “I am concerned about this prop *erty became they rit on 26 acre tracts which would make them eligible to be sold separately, and the economica as indicated by Mr. Robinson would indicate that these are much more attractive than a single family house on the same lot,” Kramer said. “If these lots were to be merged with the main tract then I would feel comfortable that the property maintenance, and therefore the impact on the conservation district which is much more fragile than the agricultural district, would be much more assured;” Saltonstall resides at Points of View Farm off of Route 729. “I think that if we were to decide in favor of using conservation land for multi-family houses on this size tract of land, because of the economics that have been expressed, we are going to see a major change in the type of housing that’s going to occur in conservation districts throughout the county,” Kramer said. "So addle this is an isolated case that we’re considering, I think that it’s important that we recognize that we are setting a precedent here for applications in the future.” Kramer also said that if the applications were to be passed that he would want some limitations on the size of the structures included. Baumgardner replied that the limitations had already been made a part of the ap plications at the November meeting. Hie conditions prohibit the expansion of the house on Lot F, and the house on Lot G will not exceed 1,400 square feet of living space. Monahan said that the small size of the structures was an important factor to consider in the applications. The BZA then examined the four findings that would have to be made in order to grant the applications. The firet finding is that the proposed use will not be hazardous or injurious to or conflict with the predominant character of the neighborhood. That finding was made by a vote of four to one with Kramer casting the negative vote. The second finding is that the proposed use will not adversely affect the health and safety of persons residing in or working in the neighborhood. That finding was made unanimously. Finding number three is that the proposed use will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or interests in the neighborhood. The vote was four to one with Kramer casting the negative vote. The fourth finding is that the proposed use will be in accord with the ordinance and the comprehensive plan. The finding passed by a vote of four to one. Motions for the approval of the applications passed by votes of four to one. Monahan asked that the plans for the house on Lot G be submitted to the board when the plans are finalized. Permits In other business, the BZA decided two separate special use permit applications. An application was submitted by Florence Cover for permission to build a second house on her eight acre lot. Cover has a three bedroom house on her property, and she requested the permit for a one bedroom guest cottage. The board decided to continue the application so that the members can make an on-site inspection. The board denied a special use permit for Mr. and Mrs. William B. Pierce to operate a bed and breakfast in Slate Mills. The Planning Commission had recommended that the application for four bedrooms be approved, but that any additions would have to have separate applications. Pierce told the board that he would want approval of the permit for nine bedrooms or a denial. The board heard two citizens of the area who were concerned about the affect the bed a breakfast could have on traffic and well water. The board denied the application unanimously. Hunt Club An qipeil of a decision by Zoning Administrator Konick concerning whether or not a special use permit is required for the leasing of i«t>H to a hunt club was the source of some eonftision during the BZA meeting. Konick had decided that a special use permit is not required. Frank Reynolds, legal counsel for Richard H. Suib and others, asked the board for a continuation of the case until the January meeting since the appeal could be dropped due to an agreement that was in the process of being finalized between the parties. Gordon E. Smith, the founder of the Trophy Hunt Club and the »»«» leasing the property, told the board that he would rather see the matter resolved on Thursday. Reynolds said that Smith had told him earlier in the day that the agreement was being worked out, and that his clients were not present and did not want to go through litigation if it could be avoided. There were approximately six people in the audience who wanted to speak on the subject, so the board decided to hear their arguments. The board heard arguments that leasing (Continued on Page 10) Rappahannock Business & Service Directory Call 675-3349 to Place Your Ad! Only *2.65 per week for a 1 Inch space!

The Homemaker9 8 Corner By FLORENCE A. VICKERS When I came to Rappahannock County last December, I had no idea I would be leaving in one short year. Rappahannock’s beauty and quietness drew me into a comfortable life among its hills. Individuals around the county opened their hearts to share their knowledge of the county and themselves which made life comfortable, but my family was always pulling me away from Rappahannock. There are so many people in the county who have helped make this year special that it is impossible to thank each of them here, but I do want to say a collective “Thank You” to everyone. Thanks for sharing your communities, your homes, your Kves and your knowledge with me. Thanks for the special memories that bring back a smile or a chuckle.To mention a few: “Clowning Around” at the Elementary school last year in the 4th grade Listening to Marie Davis sing Trying to fix ten different recipes of “wok cooking” in two hours When Midd gave up the basket! Having shoes heaved into the lake (yours not mine). Ask ai-H teen! “Now that we’ve gone to all this trouble, I hope someone shows up!” They did. Helping put the 4-H signs while, Tim, Tom, Dexter and Jim tried to be “King of the bank” slide-slide-plop. Someone catch the sign! THANKS!! Especially to each and every Extension Homemaker, the Rappahannock News Staff, Rappahannock Elementary and High Sdiool staff members and county employees for their help and support. This is good-bye to the position of Extension Agent Home Economics and 4-H Youth in Rappahannock County, but it is not good-bye to friends. You’ll stay with me in thought always and I’ll be back to visit. It is also “Hello” to a new beginning. Happy New Year! I hope your new year is full of joy, love, hope and sharing.

THE CLASSIFIEDS AUTOS • HOMES seuToTbuy CALL 675-3338 Rappahannock News Take A Wok Into! The New Year Tired of welcoming the New Year in a loud and usually tipsy crowd? This December 31st make it a very special celebration by inviting a few friends over for Mongolian Firepot. An elegant and unusual meal cooked by the guests as they sit companionably around a bubbling wok, Mongolian Firepot requires planning and several hours of preparation but it’s worth the effort. Friends who have sampled it once will lobby the next 12 months to make Mongolian Firepot a New Year’s tradition and then fight for a return invitation. Most of the before-dinner work involves cutting and slicing the various meats and seafood which will be threaded on skewers and cooked, fondue-like, in a pot of simmering broth. These Oriental shish kabobs, dipped in a choice of sauces, are wonderfully delicious but the piece de resistance comes when the last skewer has been withdrawn. Chinese cello- , for a final soup course. * Begin preparations the day before by stewing a chicken to make the broth. Save the chicken for sandwiches on New Year’s Day. Strain the stock and then refrigerate for easy removal of the fat that congeals on top. A few hours before dinner, prepare a selection of meats, seafood and vegetables. The exact amounts will depend on the number of people who can fit around the wok. Use all or a selection from the following, depending upon your tastes and your pocketbook. Flank steak, cut across the grain into thin stripe about 2 inches long Chicken breasts, boned, skinned and cut into 2 inch squares Pork tenderloin, trimmed of fat and cubed Chicken livers Shrimp, peeled and deveined Sea scallops, whole, or if large, halved Lobster tail, peeled and cubed (or substitute thawed langostinoe, small South American “lobsters” readily available in the frozen seafood section of most grocery stores) Mushrooms, thinly sliced Scallions, sliced in half lengthwise and cut into pieces 2 inches long Spinach, stems removed, leaves sliced into strips Cellophane noodles (if you can’t find cellophane noodles, substitute the type of Oriental noodles found with the instant and canned soups on the grocery shelves but remember to discard the “flavor packet”). Arrange sliced meats and seafood attractively on a large platter with an eye toward color and texture. Seat guests around the table within easy reach of the electric wok filled with bubbling chicken stock. Let the guests load their own skewers with their choice of meat and seafood and immerse the skewers in the boiling stock to cook to desired degree of doneness. Offer a selection of sauces in small individual bowls for dipping the finished product. Choices could include plain soy sauce or soy sauce mixed with a little sherry, sugar and crashed red pepper, bottled hoisin sauce now found in the Oriental section of most groceries and sweet and sour and hot mustard sauces (recipes follow). When everyone has finished skewering, add spinach, scallions, noodles and mushrooms to broth, boil a few minutes until noodles are done and spinach is limp, then ladle into bowls. There are few truly traditional Chinese desserts but this lemon meringue concoction, a rich Mend of tart and sweet developed by the Benedictine Sisters of Peking, goes well with Oriental food and is an appropriate finale to Mongolian Firepot. Meringue Nests (Tan Ch’ing Pi Wo) Add a few grains of salt to V4 cup egg whites (whites from 8 large eggs) and beat until stiff; add 3/4 09 sugar by tablespoons, beating well between each addition; lastly add 4 drops lemon extract. Drop meringue by spoonsfol on a cookie sheet lined with 2 layers of heavy brown paper, shape in the form of nests and bake at 300 degrees until a delicate golden color (12 to 15 minutes); lower heat to 250 degrees and continue baking until dry and light brown in color (80 to 40 minutes). Remove from paper when slightly cooled. If they stick, put them back in the oven a few minutes longer. Leave the heat on but open the oven door. Cool and fill with the following: Lemon Filling: To 3 egg yolks, slightly beaten, add the grated rind of 1 lemon and Vi cup lemon juice. Stir. Add 2/3 cup sugar. Cook in double boiler until thick. Cool Fold in 2 cups whipped cream. Fill nests at least 2 hours before serving and place uncovered in refrigerator. Top with additional whipped cream before serving if desired. Makes 10 to 12 nests. (These nests may be made ahead of time and frozen before or after filling.) Sweet and Sour Sauce 3 tablespoons cornstarch V4 cup sugar 1/8 cup vinegar 2/3 cup water Vi cup soy sauce Combine ingredients in sauce pan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened mid sauce turns shiny. Hot Mustard Add enough cold water to dry mustard to make a paste the consistency of thick cream. Stir vigorously until smooth. Cover and let sit at least 1 hour, use sparingly. This is guaranteed-to-dear-the-sinuaes hot mustard.

After reeding each goal and objective which would apply to the landfill discussion, Reynolds gave information which would place the proposed landfill in opposition to the comprehensive plan. ‘'These people should not have to defend their homes,” Reynolds said. "These are the people who should be defended by you, by the comprehensive plan, by the supervisors.” Reynolds told the commission that placing a landfill near one of the largest subdivisions in the county would be asking for environmental problems as well as problems with citizens concerned with protecting their property. The Planning Commission heard from some of the concerned citizens of the area of the proposed landfill site, and from citizens of other areas in the county. Phil Irwin erf the Rappahannock League of Environmental Protection (RLEP) told the commissioners that RLEP had voted against the Board of Supervisor’s decision to condemn the 138 acres on Route €21 for the landfill. Irwin urged the commission to vote against the proposed landfill, and he told the commission that the RLEP had voted to offer ftmds for studies on alternate sites and ways to deal with solid waste. Delbert Price, chairman at the CCRC, told the commissioners that a landfill at the proposed site would be in opposition to the interests of the county’s citizens. Price also said that besides having to listen to bulldosers operating every night covering the garbage, the residents of the area would have barking dogs since the county plans to locate an animal shelter on the landfill property. One suggestion from Price on dealing with the county’s solid waste was to ship the trash out to plants that convey waste into energy. Another citizen, John Schultz, said that Orange County had begun a landfill and that within six months all of the surrounding wells had to be condemned. Gene Leggett from Harris Hollow told the commission that if Symbol of the New Year — a bouncing baby boy! Symbol of the Old Year — a gnarled and dejected Father Time! As the New Year begins, we want to wipe the slate clean, we want to erase everything that has happened and start all over again. But stop and think a moment. Naturally, there were things in the past that we wish had never happened. There were things that we are sorry we had said and done. But what of the wonderful hours, the tender moments — the really good things? The best way to start a really "new" New Year is by going to church and taking a quiet personal look at yourself. Take advantage of the experiences given us during the past, and then, with a new perspective, plan your New Year with faith and resolution.

An area realtor, Eileen Day, said that the landfill would make selling land in the entire county harder which would affect everyone. Planning Commission Chairman A.Y. Stokes advised the commission of a letter from Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke which stated that the commission’s only inquiry on the landfill would have to be into whether or not the propoeed site would be in accord with the comprehensive plan. With that in mind, the commissioners voted to recommend that the Board of Supervisors abandon the discussion of the proposed landfill site based on the proposed site’s conflict with the comprehensive plan. The commission listed each goal and objective that it considered contrary to the proposed site, and baaed the findings on evidence from the Soil Conservation Service, geologist Tinsley Mack, regional geologist with the State Water Control Board Jerry Sanford and another professional geologist. 1984 News Stories (Continued from Page 8) Spokesmen for the Board and RHS believe there’s room for growth in this cooperation, which has led to both seeking solutions to the problem at where to take animals until an adequate shelter facility is built in the county. RHS held an initial meeting on September 6, and since has drafted bylaws and incorporated. The non-profit group (dans to begin its membership drive in January, which should help it to move forward quickly to become even more involved in animal-welfare reform. Communication between the Board and RHS could improve in 1986: Each from time to time has accused the other of lacking initiative, yet both maintain that they want to work together for the common cause of animal welfare. Number 9: Rappahannock Jayrees. The Rappahannock Jaycees also are a new group that quickly became a positive force in the county during 1964. Jaycees President Pat Vest rq> ports the chib now has 26 people, up from “four or five” that gathered for an initial organizational meeting. The Jaycees sponsored an ambitious toys for tots campaign this Christmas, working with area grocery stores that served as collection sites. Jaycees worked up to the Christmas deadline to restore and purchase toys for lees fortunate children in Rappahannock. President Vest says the Jaycees will continue to place their first priority on children as they enter the new year, with hopes of working more with other groups as Jaycees membership grows. Already planned for the new year: a “Mr. Yurie” campaign to discourage children from coming into contact with household poisons and a “Dribble and Shoot” competition for elementary and high school students with hopes of sending winners to regional, state and national competitions. President Vest made Jayceee new* in the Commonwealth in 1964 when she was named the first woman president of a local chapter. It’s news she eonaiden secondary to establishing a functional chapter in the county. After becoming president, Vest recalls receiving "(telephone) calls from several chapters congratulating her not just fin* being the first woman, but for starting a chapter in R«ppahawn<w»lr " Number 10: Homemaker of the Year. The selection in November of Prances Semones as Rappahannock Homemaker of the Year made news in the county by reaffirming an individual's commitment to marriage, family and community. Mrs. Semones isn’t unique in this commitment and because of this, her never-ending work is not only special, but newsworthy. Among top concerns shared by this homemaker and her husband of 45 years: the nation’s divorce rate, and what can be done to make couples starting out realise the importance of the marriage commitment. Approved (Continued from Page 1) land for hunting should not be considered a commercial use, that a private hunt club helps to keep hunting organised, that hunting is recreation or a sport and that hunt club fees help landowners to pay for maintenance of roads and to pay taxes on the property. The board decided to continue the matter to its January meeting, and the board ashed that any written —hade - rions should bo given te the asambers on or before January 10. Ocher Business Other matters that the Planning Commission dealt with during its meeting included an meal concerning the organization of a mint dub, and two special use permit applications. The hunt dub appeal was filed in response to a decision by Zoning Administrator David Koniek who found that the leasing of land for hunting was not a basis for finding that the land is being put to commercial use. Landowners around the land being leased contend that the use is commercial, and a special use permit is required. Reynolds, acting aa legal counsel for the surrounding landowners, told the commission that an agreement between the parties was in the process of being signed, tod he asked the commission to continue the case. Reynolds said that the appeal would go before the Board of Zoning Appeals, and that he would ask the board to continue the issue to its next meeting. The commission decided to make no recommendation on the hunt dub appeal with the understanding that if the matter was not continued by the BZA that the commission would want an opportunity to make a recommendation. A special use permit application for the construction of a second house on an eight acre lot received a recommendation foe denial from the commissioners. The commission recommended approval of another special use applies tier with conditions. The application was for a bed and breakfost in Slate Mills that would begin with four bedrooms with plans to increase the operation to nine bedrooms. The pnnwniscion approved the application for four bedrooms, but specified that any additions would have to be applied fin*. The Planning Commission also approved an agricuhural/forestal district in Wakefield District with commissioner Werner Krebeer abstaining because he is one of the owners of the property. The Planning Commission then went into executive session to discuss personnel matters. db.
