Smet has been named to the position while the Supervisors make a decision about whether or not to hire a county administrator who would handle the zoning matters as well as other duties. • Scrabble Dumpster Site After its executive session, the Board of Supervisors announced on Monday, March 4 that Rappahannock County has the winning bid for the Scrabble dumpster site. The Supervisors authorized 10 percent of the bid price to be paid. The purchase is subject to the approval of the circuit court, but the Supervisors anticipate that the court will accept Rappahannock’s bid. • Groups Back County Administrator Two citizen groups have recommended that the Board of Supervisors “take the steps necessary to obtain the services of a qualified county administrator.” ( During the Board’s March 4 meeting, Phil Irwin, president of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP), distributed a memo that cite ', among other things, county growth and the “increasing complexity” of issues faced by the county as reasons for the recommendation. Both Irwin and Nels Parson, president of Rappahannock’s chapter of the Izaak Walton League of America, signed the memo, part of which read: “...we think that the Board of Supervisors should retain the services of a county administrator, or an assistant to the Board of Supervisors, to aid it in planning for the future, resolving issues as they arise, and in general, conducting its business in an efficient, and forwardlooking, and responsive manner. It is clear to us that a county administrator could assume the duties of zoning administrator... ” Irwin said that the county would benefit financially from the appointment of a county administrator. • More Money For Rapp’k Schools Local public school systems in Virginia will be among the biggest beneficiaries of the 1985 General Assembly’s adjustments to the 19841986 state budget. The assembly, which adjourned February 23, increased state basic aid to $1,901 per pupil for the 1985-86 fiscal year, the second in the state’s two-year budget cycle. Local school systems get $1,605 per pupil in the current 1984-85 fiscal year and the budget the assembly passed last year would have given them $1,776 per pupil for 1985-86. But the legislature and Gov. Charles S. Robb were able to increase that amount to $1,901, because of a state budget surplus of more than $90 million. Robb and the Assembly also increased the ratio of teachers to pupils that it uses to fund education locally. The ratio increased from 54 to 57 teachers per 1000 students; the actual state average is about 65 teachers per 1,000. What it .means is that in 1985-86, Rappahannock County will get $94,575 more than it gets in 1984-85, according to figures from the House Appropriations Committee staff in Richmond. It also means that the state is giving 91 percent of its share of the amount needed to fully fund the Standards of Quality that it mandates for Virginia’s public schools, compared to 84 percent before. Full funding would be $2,089 per pupa, according to the State Department of Education. • Lions9 Sight/Hearing Tests The Lions District 24-A Sight and Hearing Mobile Screening Unit will visit Rappahannock County on Tuesday, March 12, Wednesday, March 13 and Thursday, March 14.

The committee did, however, call for a moratorium on the application and storage of sludge brought in from outside the county. These recommendations were announced by committee member Bob Point-To-Point Social Scene... From A Horse’s Mouth Bv JON KLAVERKAMP Rappahannock News Staff Writer What follows is an excerpt from a letter written by a horse who participated in Saturday’s races. Addressed to a cousin in the city, the letter was en route when confiscated by human authorities, who have since detained the guilty horse and have broken a notorious ring of literate horses. The names of horses have been changed out of consideration to their owners. ...No question about it, Sam, human beings are a peculiar breed. Last Saturday at the Rappahannock Hunt Point-To-Point Races, I did what you told me to do — I kept one eye on the finish line (knowing the race was mine) and one eye on 6000 or so spectators. To their credit, they showed up in bunches on a day of exceptional beauty. Picture such a day: sunny, warm, and clear, with majestic blue, green, and brown mountains in the background. Ever see that in the city, Sam? Don’t bother answering. I’m telling you, if you’d just come out to see it once, you’d wave goodbye to the city from here. But I’ll coax you to the country in another letter. That’s not why I’m writing this time. About the hoopla of humans on race day, you’re right; it’s puzzling. I mean why all the colors? The crowd is a kaleidoscope. I saw more colors on one person at one time than I’ve ever seen on 10 horses at different times. You make sense of that, Sam. A key difference between horses and people is that, unlike horses, people don’t seem to need a good reason for the things they do. Amusement is reason enough for outlandish and perfectly impractical behavior. (Continued on Page 2) Dennis at the Board of Supervisor’s meeting on March 4. Others on the committee were Supervisors Charles ‘Pete’ Estes and Richard Latham, Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, and Planning District Nine (PD9) Director Wayne Cilimberg. Dennis said that while members expressed differing viewpoints on the issue, the committee’s final position to oppose the ordinance was reached by consensus. Among the reasons for its opposi tion to a ban on sludge, the committee cited 1) the need to be sure that Rappahannock has room for its own septic waste 2) the fact that the Sperryville sewage plant, when completed, will require space for the disposal of the sludge it produces. In this regard Dennis referred to the informal arrangement between Rappahannock’s Water and Sewer Authority (WSA) and the Town of Culpeper. Dennis said that that arrangement, which would allow future sludge from the Sperryville sew age plant to be treated by the Town of Culpeper, carried no assurance with it, and therefore it should not be relied upon. A third reason given for opposing the ban was the question of whether the county had the authority to institute such a ban; After speaking against ti. ban, Dennis, still representing the committee, recommended 1) that the Board formally request the services of PD9 to (Continued on Page 3) D. M. “Speedy” Smithwick rode Chilling wire to wire to win the Rappahannock hurdle race Cookin ’N Loo kin, Wins Again By CLIVE CARNIE Democrat Staff Writer Paul Cramer Jr. is used to flying off the edges of mountains. In the 1950s the Marshall resident used to fly Corsairs off aircraft carriers that rose like mountains over the cold dark ocean. On Saturday Mr. Cramer once again flew off the edge of a mountain as he guided his Cookin ’N Lookin to victory over the steep timber course in the owner-rider race at the Rappahannock Hunt point-to-point before a crowd of about 6,000. It was Mr. Cramer’s second victory of the season in the Seven Comers owner-rider timber series and firmly established the 59-year-old rider atop the division. Rappahannock Hunt whipper-in Mike Brown led the early part of the 21/2-mile race on Spreader with Cookin ’N Lookin following about five lengths behind. But as the field charged up the mountain for a second time Cookin ’N Lookin took the lead and stayed there, leaping over the fence at the foot of the awesome slope several lengths ahead of the field. From then on there was no doubt about who would win. Behind Cookin ’N Lookin Spreader began to tire and was overtaken by Peter Jay of Churchville, Md., on Tonnere and Jimmy Robinson on Wee Pet. Tonnere made a last minute strike at Cookin ’N Lookin who was being eased in the stretch, but Mr. Cramer still had plenty of horse left and kept his mount in front to win by an easy two lengths. Wee Pet carried his Warrenton farrier owner to third place. “He’s really good, loose and easy,” Mr. Cramer said of his mount after the race. “He’s in better shape than he was last week.” The mountainous course had proved to be no problem to the pair either. “An up and down course like this is good for a horse,” said Mr. Cramer. “It gives an average horse a better chance to run well.” Patti Cassel and Splashy Lea also repeated their Casanova victory on the Rappahannock course, coming from behind in the ladies’ timber race for a spectacular win that cements the Waterford resident at the top of the Lady Rider division. Mrs T. W. Bullitt’s Handy Hill ■% (Continued on Page 4) Estabrook Presents Budget Proposal By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock School Superintendent Robert Estabrook began his presentation of his proposal for the 198586 school budget with the humorous remark that the night would be the highlight of his year since he would get the chance to please everyone. It became clear by the end of the Tuesday night meeting that not all of the approximately 30 people present had been pleased with the Superintendent’s budget recommendations. Estabrook outlined his thoughts on his responsibilities when preparing his budget proposal before he outlined the proposal. “I’m certain that as parents, teachers and simply those interested in education you would look to me to spell out as clearly as I can our needs,” Estabrook said. “I accept that responsibility, and I also believe that there is another kind of responsibility that comes to me and that is in view of those needs I do have to have some sense of what fiscal reality is.” The first section of the proposed budget to be explained, by Estabrook was the capital outlay section. This includes the projected costs of the professional services of the architectural firm, the new buildings, additions and alterations to existing buildings involved in the expansion project at the high school, and another line item for furniture and equipment. Estabrook pointed out that the proposed budget would call for a 54 percent increase from last year’s budget with the capital outlay section in eluded. Without that section, the budget would be a 7.4 percent increase over last year’s. If just the items dealing with the expansion project were taken out, there would be an increase of 6.7 percent. Estabrook explained that for the school system to apply to the State Department of Education for approval so that literary fund loan money can begin to flow to cover the capital outlay expenses, finshed drawings have to be presented. He said that the expansion project’s finished drawings should be ready within the next month and a half. If the drawings were ready by June 1, Estabrook said, the state would then either approve or disapprove them in two to six weeks, and if approved the system would be placed on the literary loan list. “That is simply one option for a school board and board of supervisors by way of how you would pay the architect’s fees during that next year or how you would pay the contractor,” Estabrook said. “There are other options with varying percentages of interest being charged, with varying timelines as to when money is available and many sides to that.” Estabrook recommended that the School Board meet with the Board of Supervisors to discuss the options available for funding a c. pital outlay project and “to seek .a cooperative effort in how best to go about it.” Estabrook said that the figures presented were determined based on the architectural firm’s projection that 80 percent of their work would be com pleted within the next fiscal year. The next section discussed by Estabrook was instruction which included the salaries of the administrators and teachers at the schools. Estabrook started with teacher’s salaries because he said that that was what he based all other salary proposals on. An indexed salary schedule for teachers was included to show what impact Estabrook’s recommendations would have. Estabrook said that the A. proposal was an attempt to move towards what the teachers had requested, but that he had not met the teachers’ salary increase requests. “What I’ve done here is to seek a 13 percent average increase for our teachers,” Estabrook said. The percentage of increases range from 11 percent for beginning teachers to 13 and (Continued on Page 3) dM JDisapproves Permit Request By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock Newt SUIT Writer A special use permit application submitted by Robert and Ruth Bowers was disapproved by the Board of Zoning Appeals during its regular meeting on Wednesday, February 27. The Bowers own and operate Blue Ridge Guns on Route 211 west of Amissville, and they and their daughter have been living in an apartment above the business for the past two months. Zoning Administrator David Konick advised the Bowers in a letter dated January 22 that to maintain a residence in a commercial building would require a special use permit. Ruth Bowers was present at the BZA meeting, and she told the board that she and her husband did not know that a permit would be required. She said that the building was rebuilt after a fire in 1982 with the space for the apartment that could be used if needed. “We had hoped not to have to do that since we wanted to build our own house, but the loss from the fire made it financially impossible, for us to build,” Bowers said. She said that the only changes necessary for the apartment were temporary walls placed between the two bedrooms. Konick said that any alteration of the building was not the issue, and that the BZA had to consider whether or not a zoning ordinance provision that allows quarters for caretakers or watchmen in commercial property with a special use permit would apply to the Bowers’ case.

Goings On In The Arts Music History Brought To Life By TUTT-STAPP HARRIS AND GLORIA HARRIS For RAAC Composer, performer and inst ructor Tom Espinola, a new resident of Rappahannock, made a first move toward realizing his goal of bringing mcreased musical opportunities to the county when he presented an exciting eclectic musical program to Wakefield students on February 28. Prefaced by a brief history of folk songs from the British Isles, the program went the extra step of actually bringing the history to life. Students heard guitar selections ranging from an embellished “Old Joe Clark" to Bob Dylan’s modern folk classics. A history and demonstration of the mandolin was augmented with songs which showed the role this ancient instrument has played in the roots of both folk and jazz tradition. Another ancient instrument was demonstrated--the bodhran, a frame drum played with a stick of by hand. Espinola also showed students a small Mexican/Indian drum made of pottery and told how the sounds of drums can equate to syllables. The program’s reflection on how the music of distant times and distant lands is a vital force in our musical traditions today is typical of the diversity found in Espinola’s work. Hailing from the southeast part of Virginia, where he has perfosmed and taught for over 10 years, his compositions range from chamber and orchestral to jazz and popular. He has worked with other artists to produce multi-media performances, on of which was performed at the New American Festival of Contemporary Music/Theatre held throughout Wash msffir\ rni rar WILKINS' SHOECENTER'S FINAL REDUCTION LADIES' SHOE LAST 12 DAYS SALE ENDS SATURDAY, MARCH 16TH ^ VALUES TO s70 ...

He also composed a piece for performance in a planetarium. Espinola’s works have been performed extensively throughout the state and nationally on radio and television. One of his compositions can currently be heard on the National Public Radio program "All Things Considered." He was featured in the performance “Voices from the Mountains” which aired in 193-1. Espinola has created numerous arrangements for the string band Trapezoid, an enourmously popular and critically acclaimed group of musicians who now make their home base in Rappahannock. Trapezoid’s music is also an eclectic and unique blend of influences, from traditional, British and Appalachian music, jazz, swing and blues to their own original compositions. Trapezoid will perform at the Gay Street Theatre in Washington, Va. on April 20. Rappahannock’s residents and schools are already benefitting from this rich new musical resource in the county: Tom Espinola looks forward to more opportunities to share his talent and love of teaching with our schools and community. From A Horse^s Mouth (Continued from Page 1) Imagine how ridiculous it would Jook, Sam, it one of us horses came? swaggering out of the stable all humanlike, that is all decked out in multi-colors, sporting a hat and pipe of course, and wearing those absurd human knee pads. Ever notice that, Sam? 1 mean those silly knee pads that stretch from ankle to waste. It’s not an occasional thing; a human being is downright religious about the wearing of knee pads that cover the entire lower portion of the body. There’s something else that’s not clear to me, Sam. You touched on it in your last letter. If it’s really us and our racing that attracts the people, then why do they spend so much time fussing over the back ends of their cars? All this talk about the tailgate - what is it anyway? I must tell you’, Sam, I disagree with your explanation as to what is going on in the back ends of those cars. I simply will never believe that miniature horses are racing around on minia7 ture tracks back there. No, Sam, that’s not it. I think, rather, that it has become the height of human fashion to repair a car at the horse races. It’s not easy to fix a car, so these people group together on a nice day , form a half circle around the problem back end of a friend's car, and there they mill about until the repairs are finished. And how they rejoice while the repairs are being made, anticipating, I suppose, a smoothly running car. They become so happy that they drink oil*, oil, and more oil. It’s a funny thing how people mix their own oil. Mixing and tasting, they’re always mixing and tasting, getting the oil just right, as if the car cares..._ MYRTLE BEACH FREE VACATION PLANNER THE HIGHEST STANDARDS OF SERVICE ARE ACHIEVED DAILY AT OUR 4 GREAT HOLIDAY INN HOTELS YOU CAN EXPECT NON STOP FUN AND f xc ITEMENT ON THE WORLD S MOST BE AllTlFlJL BEACHES OVER 35 CHAMPIONSHIP GOlf COURSES TENNIS AND COUNTLESS OTHER ATTRACTIONS CALL TOLL FREE FOR OUR COtORFUl COMPRENHEN SIVE VACATION PLANNER, INC LUDING AREA INFOR MATION AND HOTEL RATES 1-800-845-0313 1-800-847-3707 1-800-845-5300 1-800-845-9700 IK 'll-; )VUM -' 'I M-'i Kill Bl -V II Emergency Log Fire And Rescue The following calls were routed through the dispatch center in the past week: February 28: 9:42 a.m., DOA, Rt. 630 Culpeper County, Amissville Fire Department.

Doy «»ito« AVOID SELLING PROBLEMS Home sellers have legitimate fears. Will the home be sold in time? Will you get the price you are hoping for? Will your lifestyle and time be endangered by hordes of unqualified, curiosity seekers? Will an unqualified prospect make an offer, tie it up for months, only for the transaction to fall through? One way to increase the chances of unpleasant things happening, is to put a For-Sale sign on your lawn and try to sell the house yourself. As a “FSBO” (For Sale By Owner), you can count on your home being an open target for any and all who want to take a peek. You’ll have absolutely no control over the situation. Selling a home should not be traumatic if you do it the professional way. Ally yourself with a professional Realtor who will show your home only to qualified buyers, capable of completing the transaction. You will be transferring the problems to your Realtor’s shoulders.

Estabrook recommended a 17 percent increase for the assistant principal of the high school in an attempt to recognize the years of experience the present assistant principal has and to move towards an index pay system for administrators as well as teachers. Estabrook recommended more than 13 percent for the assistant superintendent in an effort to differentiate more between that position’s salary and the salary for the principal of the high school. The increase for the special services coordinator was recommended to be 17 percent due to the direct relation of the number of hours the coordinator spends on Chapter I programs to the amount of government funds the system can receive. The administrative secretary would receive an 18 percent raise due to the person’s number of years with the system under Estabrook’s proposal. The total increase in the budget for the administration category would be 14 percent over last year according to Estabrook’s recommendations. There would be an increase of 17 percent in the instruction category, 13 percent in attendance and health service, 14 percent in transportation operational services, 116 percent in the replacement of transportation vehicles, 21 percent in fixed charges, and 1131 That’s us!

There would be a 35 percent decrease from last year’s budget in the operation and maintenance of school plant category, and a 4 percent decrease in debt service. Estabrook also recommended changes in fringe benefits for school sytem employees. He recommended that bus drivers receive eight sick days a year that can accumulate to fit) days, and that one day of that a year be allowed for a personal day. Teachers, would receive duty-free lunches, transfers of accumulated sick days from other school systems, and one teacher with at least five years’ experience would be able to take a sabbatical leave each year and would receive full pay for a half year sabbatical or half pay for a full year. Administrators would receive transfer of accumulated sick days, a membership in one professional organization, three weeks vacation for those with three years of experience and four weeks vacation for those with 10 years experience. Estabrook also recommended increasing the amount that the system would pay of the employees’ insurance premium from three percent to four percent. Don Bomberger, a teacher, disagreed with the way the teacher salary increase percentage had been determined. He said that the 13 percent figure was misleading since the- salaries were really only increasing by 11 percent to the base or starting teacher’s salary. When asked why he did not find it necessary to provide salaries to teachers in the county equal to the average of surrounding counties, Estabrook replied that the teacher request would have meant an 18 percent instead of 11 percent increase to the base. “We can’t make those kinds of strides that quickly,” Estabrook said. “I don't expect to have everyone agree with my judgments, but I also don’t expect to have someone try to sit in my chair with me," Estabrook said. “There’s only room for one.” Estabrook said that the proposed budget was not his, but was for the public's schools. “I would be happy if the public would rise up and insist on a 30 percent increase in salaries for teachers, but 1 don’t think that that will happen,” Estabrook said. Susan Bloss, president of the Rappahannock Education Association, said that the salary proposal would keep teachers in the status quo, and she asked about other requests made by the teachers like 180 days of sick leave being allowed to accumulate. Estabrook said th^t anything he did not mention was not recommended. “Mr. Estabrook’s responsibility is to present the budget proposal, and the Board’s responsibility is to act on it,” School Board Chairman Beverly Massie said. “It is just a starting point, and the Board will go over all of the education association’s requests as well as any other requests during our budget discussions.” Lynne Baines, a teacher and parent, raised a concern over the perception of the 54 percent overall increase figure that is largely due to the capital outlay project. Estabrook said that there was no other way to figure the budget except to include to the capital outlay as a dollar amount. Baines also said that she wondered about the difference between a 17 percent salary increase for the assistant principal at the high school and the 18 percent increase that the teachers had asked for. Estabrook replied that the difference was the numbers since there is one assistant principal’s salary as compared to all of the teachers’ salaries that would have to be increased. Barney O’Meara said that he found it commendable that the proposed budget was an attempt to move towards a salary scale for all employees. “It both(Continued on Page 5) Opposes Sludge Ban (Continued from Page 1) help study the issue of sludge in Rappahannock, and 2) that an ordinance be drafted calling for a moratorium on the application and storage of sludge brought in from outside the county. The purpose of the moratorium would be to preserve the “status quo" while conducting a study on the county's capacity for sludge application. Any such study would attempt to determine three things: 1) How much land technically qualifies for the application of sludge. 2) How much of that land would actually be available, meaning would the owners sell it? and 3) How much land is needed by the county? Commonwealth’s Attorney Petef Luke confirmed that the county could not legally enact a moratorium unless a study was being conducted. He reminded the Board that a moratorium is only a temporary solution. “The county has to be moving forward toward some ultimate resolution of this matter.” Wayne Cilimberg, when asked if PD9 would conduct a study on sludge for Rappahannock, said that PD9 could not do it this fiscal year but that it could offer immediate assistance in other ways. He also told the supervisors that he could refer them to other organizations capable of conducting the study. Then a motion passed to advertise for public hearing the proposed ordinance calling for a moratorium on sludge coming into the county. Included in the motion was a request that both Cilimberg and Dennis help to make the moratorium legitimate by assisting in the required study. Ag/forestal district The supervisors witnessed a lively debate after Chairman Hubert Gilkey III announced a public hearing on Dr. Werner Krebser’s application for an agricultural forestal district. Phil Irwin, president of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, urged the Board to approve the application as well as all future ones. Such applications are an “effective tool in preserving agriculturally productive and open space land,” Irwin said. Bob Dennis, president of the Piedmont Environmental Council, also argued for approval of the application, repeating Irwin’s point that such practice, in general, would protect rural land use. Dennis claimed that approval of agricultural forestal districts was fiscally sound policy. To support this he referred to a study, recently completed by the Piedmont Environmental Council, which indicates that residential land use is primarily subsidized by farm, forest, and open space land. Then Robert Eastham stood up to oppose the application. “I must register a protest against agricultural forestal districts. My concern is over the fiscal situation, and the rank unfairness of the tax system.” Eastham challenged Dennis’ point that approval of the application would constitute fiscally sound policy. The county loses money due to land use value taxation, according to Eastham. “It is wiping out revenues from the county. These applications are granted “to placate and please a particular group of people...” Eastham urged the Board to do two things: 1) “to do the best you can to try to alter the land use value rates,” and 2) to restrict renewal of maturing agricultural forestal districts by renewing them for the minimum of four years. Krebser, speaking in favor of his own application, argued that rural land use contributes more to the tax base than does residential land use. “It is utter nonsense to say that open space land is costing the county money.” This was another reference to the Piedmont Environmental Council’s recent study. Soon after these statements, the Board approved Dr. Krebser’s application. WSA Business Wayne Cilimberg reported that the WSA now has grant anticipation notes, which will secure a cash flow throughout construction of the Sperryville sewage plant. In regard to the plant Cilimberg requested the following: 1) that the WSA and Rappahannock County establish a joint account with the Second National Bank of Culpeper 2) that he be named contract compliance officer, a position that must be filled to meet the requirements of the community block grant. (It is the duty of the officer to insure that; all federal regulations are complied with.) 3) that payment for services be made to the engineering firm of Buchart-Hom Inc. of Williamsburg, to WSA attorney Doug Baumgardner, and to Eileen Day for appraisal work. All these requests were approved by the supervisors In matters unrelated to the Sperryville sewage plant, Cilimberg noted the expiration of Colonel Luke’s fouryear term on the PD9 board of commissioners. Luke has been the commission’s citizen representative from Rappahannock County, and he was recently nominated to be vice chairperson of the commission. The supervisors reappointed Luke to another term as the county’s citizen representative. Also the Board endorsed PD9’s involvement in a project that would conduct regional water quality management planning activities. Cypsy Moth Extension agent Birgitt Thornhill requested $40 from the Board to purchase burlap bands that, when wrrapped around trees, will help to monitor the number of gypsy moths. The measure also will help to eliminate the moths, said Thornhill. Courthouse work Clerk Diane Bruce reported that repairs on the faulty t russ in the courthouse roof had been completed. She asked that the Board authorize a $5,200 payment to the contractor. The Board authorized the payment as well as the return of an additional $5,200 that w’as held in escrow. In regard to courthouse additions for the handicapped, which are mandated by federal law, the Board confirmed that it would seek an estimate of the cost to implement all the proposed additions. However, the supervisors expressed some skepticism about the need for a vertical chairlift, and they agreed to seek a waiver of that requirement if at all possible. Appointments The following appointments were announced: 1) G.N. ‘Joe’ Williams of Wakefield district to the Solid Waste Disposal Committee, which holds its next meeting on Wednesday, March 27 at 7:30 p.m. in the courthouse. 2) Mary Edna Schafer of Sperryville to the Community Services Board.

Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation Thursday, March 7,1985 Looking At Land Use The Piedmont Environmental Council (PEC) recently has completed a study on the fiscal impacts of major land uses in Rappahannock County. Whether or not you agree with PEC’s conclusions, the study is welcome because it is educational. Using figures from the county’s 1983 fiscal year, PEC has estimated total county revenues and expenditures for three major categories of land use: 1) residential, 2) industr.ai/ commercial, and 3) farm/forest/open space (the latter we will call open space for short). County budgets do not usually assign revenues or expenditures to specific land uses. The PEC’s purpose in doing so was to discover the net fiscal contribution or loss for which each major land use, in a sense, could be held responsible. Probably the study’s most important claim is that open space land use subsidizes, to a large degree, residential land use. This is because residential land use generates much less in revenues than it requires in public service expenditures. On the other hand, open space land generates far more in revenues than It requires in public service expenditures. The surplus, then, is used to cover the deficit created by residential land use. Those conclusions are intended to dispel the widespread belief that residential growth will contribute to the overall fiscal health of the community. A portion of the study reads: “Though residential development means ‘improvements’ that raise the assessed value of real estate (and thereby revenues from real estate taxes), it simultaneously increases demand for public service expenditures.” The PEC hopes that its efforts will encourage policies that protect agriclutural and open space land, because such uses “bring net tax benefits to the county...” There is more to the study than was presented here, and so we encourage citizens to read it themselves.

Our Rappahannock Heritage Letters To The Editor Pro Referenda To the editor: In your Valentine’s Day editorial you took the Rappahannock Public Action Committee to task for sponsoring the advisory zoning referendum bill in the General Assembly through Delegate Andy Guest. For your editorial you castigated referenda in general because you said they are “a form of pure democracy.” You accused RPAC, at least by implication, of wanting to “make a quick switch of governments,” of trying to “Put our elected officials in an awkward position,” of trying to “revoke temporarily their license to govern,” of wanting to “rule directly at our pleasure,” and of committing “A breach of trust—the breaking of a pact,” (presumably the “Pact,” in your view, between the electors and the elected is: “We vote for you to do anything you want to do and we promise to remain silent while you do it”). All of this hyperbole based on a proposal for a strictly advisory referendum on zoning! It was in a sincere desire on Mr. Frazier’s part and mine to avoid any such implications that we asked Andy Guest specifically to submit the bill enabling Rappahannock County to have an advisory, non-binding referendum. We deliberately did not ask for a referendum to be put on the ballot by the district judge on petition of only 15 percent of the electors voting in the previous presidential election (RPAC has collected almost three times that number on petitions already). This is the way it was done here recently in the case of the referendum on the manner of selecting School Board members, thereby short-circuiting the Supervisors on the proposed referendum completely, all in accordance with the Virginia Code. What was and is your editorial position in regard to the School Board referendum? Was this mandatory referendum a sabotage of representative democracy with an insidious form of “pure democracy”? I challenge the editor to find in his back numbers of the Rappahannock News one single word of criticism or complaint about that referendum! If you are opposed to input from the citizenry on controversial and divisive subjects (which I do not for one moment believe), why do you continue your “Letters to the Editor” column and why do you in today's editorial urge citizens to attend the March 5 School Board meeting to bring their input and put pressure on the School Board to recommend a larger school budget and higher teachers’ salaries? We either believe in democracy and inajority rule on principle and all of the time or we believe in it only some of the time--when we perceive that it suits our own interests and personal prejudices to do so. You have reported that Andy Guest said he had a “face-off’ with the House committee over our requested advisory referendum bill-Andy wanting an advisory, non-binding referendum and the committee insisting that the referendum had to be binding or nothing. A simple telephone call from Richmond to Rappahannock County would have settled that impasse for Mr. Guest: a binding referendum it would have to be, as in the School Board case, so that the referendum would “have meaning”, in the committee’s terminology. If the Planning Commission recommends and the Supervisors enact a new zoning ordinance which is substantially the same as the commission’s proposal, I predict that Andy Guest will receive a mass-signed petition, and directly, requesting him to submit in the next session of the General Assembly a bill for a referendum which is not advisory but binding this time. After all. this is the only problem which the committee members claimed they had with the previous bill. Faced with that “input”, the Supervisors will have no alternative but to find out exactly what lcind of zoning ordinance would be acceptable to the county electorate and enact changes accordingly. That, or have no zoning ordinance at all. The Planning Commission and the Supervisors now know with certainty that a majority of our citizenry are opposed to the draft ordinance in its present form. We shall see shortly whether they will continue to ignore the majority will or accede to it gracefully. It is for the latter that the majority elected the Supervisors in the first place, under our system of representative democracy. ROBERT W. EASTHAM Flint Hill. Va. Cookin’N Lookin, ll/Onuiiueu irom rage i ; took the early lead in the 2-mile ladies’ timber race with Splashy Lea, Ahwaz and Sirocco following. As the field went up the side of the mountain for the final time Splashy Lea took the lead and held it approaching the last fence. But then Handy Hill once again moved to the front and as the field came around the final sharp uphill turn into the stretch the race appeared wide open. Ms. Cassel tucked down and dug in on Splashy Lea, urging the little mare to perform her legendary stretch run, and the pair sped along the outside of the stretch past Handy Hill. Only Dave Rollison’s Ahwaz, ridden by Eva Dahlgren, could challenge Splashy Lea but was not able to close the gap, finishing a length behind at the wire. “Running back to back like she did, Splashy did really well,” said Ms. Cassel after the race. “She’s a dynamite little horse. I was really surprised because she doesn’t usually like short races.” Racing began at the Thornton Hill Farm course with a short flat race split into two divisions. Chilly Bleak Farm’s Alfa Wave, ridden by Leigh Louri, led from wire to wire to win by a length over Doc’s Torch, owned and ridden by Helen Richards. In the second division D. M. “Speedy” Smithwick of Middleburg rode Mrs. T. A. Randolph’s Tingles Image to a 2'/2-length victory over Treat’s Son, owned by D. W. Tucker of Orange and ridden by Charles Fleischmann of The Plains. The Rappahannock Hunt had a lot to celebrate in the second race when huntsman Oliver Brown’s ’’.oijian Hunt won the 2‘/2-mile open timber race with a fearless ride by Mark Stickley of Middleburg. “He’s an absolutely awesome horse,” Mr. Stickley said after the race. It was a repeat victory for the 10year-old gelding who also won the race in 1984. “I knew he (Roman Hunt) had a shot on this course,” said Mr. Brown after the race. “It’s made for him with the mountain. I didn’t realize how fit he was though. He’s not as tight this year as we had him last year.” “Speedy” Smithwick, on Mrs. Ogden Phipp’s Chilling, led the day’s first hurdle race from start to finish. The 1%-mile open hurdle race was the first start for the 5-year-old Northern Jove gelding. “The horse went super,” said Mr. Smithwick after the race. “He jumped better than any first time starter I’ve ever ridden.” In second was Cobrador, owned and ridden by Ford Rogers of Gainesville. Barbara Batterton of Berryville finished third on her Duckets For Dad. Following the open hurdle race the juniors came onto the course for a flat race. In the pony division Dawn Dugan of Catharpin, who had won the junior pairs race earlier that day, sped to an easy eight-length victory on her Sharp Start. It was the fourth consecutive year the pair had won the race at Rappahannock. Hill Parker won the second division of the junior race in a two-horse battle between his mother’s Mean And Medium and Arlene Roemer’s Erin’s Delight, ridden by Isabel Ford. A good field went to the post for the owner-rider hurdle race, sixth on the eight-race card. In previous years this division has had a small number of entries so it was encouraging to see a six-hor e field. It 'a ,s mostly a one-horse race though, as'Charlie Fleischmann’s Lum bah Wallah led the l'/j-mile course virtually from start to finish. Mr. Fleischmann won the First Colony owner-rider hurdle race championship in 1984 on Lumbah Wallah. The 6-year-old Frankie’s Nod mare is trained by Mrs. Torrance Fleischmann, a member of the gold medal-winning U.S. combined event team at the Los Angeles Olympics. A four-legged animal of a different kind went to the post for the final race of the day . As the flag dropped the backs of several pickup trucks flew open, discharging their cargoes of foxhounds which lunged out in pursuit of a drag line that had been ridden by huntsman Oliver Brown. Fortunately several of the 59 hounds entered did make it all the way around the course and there was even a neck and neck challenge in the stretch. The eventual winner was Captain, owned by Larry C'oppedge of Brightwood, a former member of the Montpelier Hunt. “I’ve hunted all my life,” Mr. C'oppedge said afterwards. "I love to hear the hounds run." ——From Both BarrelsRobb’s Winning Session iiy georgk lion i.ks The 1!»S5 < it *! i< * 1:11 A.. • ■ 11. i:1 was the last to ho hoM .Itiritu_>' Gov.

With the defeat of the bills, which was for the mest part Ainlamented, the prosP s dimmed that either could bo successfully revived next 'ear. fhe governor also steered clear of the bill which was withdoubt the most emotioni hnrgod of the session. That was the measure which, in its original form, would have required young women under age 18 to receive t he consent of either a parent or a judge before obtaining an abortion. 1’he bill was amended to allow the women to be counseled by an independent physician instead of obtaining judicial permission*. Thus, having received a proper “shad treatment,” the measure died a protracted death on the last day of the Assembly. Robb. to be sure, has been roundly criticized by both the proponents and opponents of i he.-1* and other measures for not having gotten involved in the swirling committee and floor batbo-. which they generated. His refusal to do so, however, was entirely consistent with both his concept- of political strategy and what lie likes to call his style. Robb does not believe in squandering political capital on iffy causes when it might be betVr invested in advancing plans and programs to which he and his administration are firmly committed. He fully subscribes to the view of old Otto von Bismarck who held that “politics is 'he art of the possible,” (Bismarck also described it as “the art of the next best.’’) 1 here are those, of course, even m Robb’s own Democratic party, who quarrel bitterly with hi- approach. They would like to have seen him play at the high 'takes t able on more of the issues bemiv the legislators.

Washington To Get New Zoning Ordinance! By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock Newg Staff Writer The Washington Town Council members made suggestions for the town’s new zoning ordinance at a work session with Bill Strider, a planner from planning district nine, on Wednesday, February 27. Council member Newbill Miller expressed his desire to have lot sizes in the town set at half an acre because he said that he did not think that the town would ever have a sewage system. Miller said that he would like it if the ordinance required that each lot have a drain field and an alternate site. “We could have a very serious matter here if we continue to super-saturate our soils,” Miller said. Poor perking soils not suitable for drain fields should be identified in the zoning ordinance, said Miller, and no building except in special cases should be allowed on those soils. “I’d like to see the decisions made on special permits, as many as possible, made by the Town Council,” Miller said. Miller further suggested that the zoning ordinance include a historic dis COUNTYTAGS NOW ON SALE County taxes must be paid and Registration Cards must be stamped by the Commissioner of Revenue.

He said that a few people had already expressed concerns to him about the historic district. “We could wrrite it so that the regulations would be very strict, but we don’t want to do that,” Willis said. “All we want to do is to make things blend together well in the town.” Mayor Peter Kramer asked about the possibility of working on the existing zoning ordinance, but Miller said that the ordinance is too out of date for any work-on it to be plausible. “It’s done its job, now let’s pat it on the back and get another one that will work for the next 10 or 15 years,” Miller said. The existing town zoning ordinance was adopted in 1970. .. ^ & u«P' i i n*jp You can build a fine roof with shingles—but not by putting them end to end. That way you’ll live in the rain. Shingles do a terrific job as long as they overlap—each orte clinging to, but reaching beyond, the other. It’s a combination of cooperation and individual responsibility. The same principle applies with people. Each may be a “solid citizen’’ but the gaps between them cause constant problems. Bring them together for a common purpose, each covering his own area of responsibility but supported by all the rest—then you have a fine community. That’s why c^r chu.ches are so important They bring us together for the supreme purpose in life, instilling reverent responsibility in our relationship with others.

Va on Rt 231 967-8361 “I think that one thing that the people of Washington have got to understand is that they enjoy these excellent property values because of the nature and character of the town, and it’s in their best interests right now to give a little bit so that we can still maintain a nice town and also a prosperous town,” Miller said. Council member Bill Wickens expressed his appreciation for the town’s open spaces and the rural atmosphere of the town. He said that he did not favor having half acre lots since they could be subdivided to create smaller lots for more houses. “I like the idea of being able to look across and see the mountains instead of clutter,” Wickens said. An important function of the ordinance, said Wickens, should be to maintain a proper balance between commercial and residential property. “When you’re talking about the center of town, that’s one thing, but when you’re talking about streets like Mt. Salem Avenue and Gay Street then you want to maintain that residential tone,” Wickens said. A town resident, Charles Eldred, asked about the possibility of adopting a temporary measure that would not allow new subdivision or construction for a period of time while the new zoning ordinance is being worked on. Mayor Kramer said that that possibility will be looked into. Mayor Kramer said that he was not sure he agreed with Wickens’ remarks about keeping open spaces in the town. “I like the openness of the town, but I guess I take a little broader view, though, in that I see in the county that the place for housing the population ought to be in the towns and settlements,” Kramer said. “If we’re going to preserve open space, then it seems to me that it ought to be the true agricultural land that surrounds the town, and that we should provide for some kind of housing land to be available in the town.” The zoning ordinance would have to reflect the number of households the town’s water system could support and how many septic fields are available, though, said Miller. “Our zoning ordinance has got to be designed so that we don’t overtax our water system, and we don’t pollute everything around,” Miller said. Mayor Kramer agreed with Miller, but said that the county master plan provides that residential areas will be in existing towns. “To me that makes sense to the limits of what our systems can support,” Kramer said. Suggestions for the ordinance made by Mayor Kramer were that the town’s craftsmen heritage should be remembered. “I think that when we are considering the zones that we should recognize and differentiate between someone who has a small, homecraft operation and separate that from commei cial,” Kramer said. Miller said that any structure in town that is destroyed, even if it is in non-conformance with the ordinance, should be allowed by the ordinance to be rebuilt as it was. “If a building is non-conforming, and they want to add a room, there should be a percent of the building that could be enlarged just as a matter of convenience,” said Miller. Churches will also have to be addressed in the ordinance, said Miller, and he suggested that the ordinance provide for a percentage of enlargement and for the rebuilding of existing churches in the town. Strider said that he would look into all of the council’s questions, and would consider all of the suggestions made. The Town Council also decided to prepare ordinances that would allow the council to appoint a town planning commission and board of zoning appeals. A public hearing on the ordinances will be held during a special meeting on March 27 at 8 p.m., and the town zoning ordinance will be discussed further during the meeting.

Estabrook said that his power was only to recommend, and that he would not go beyond what he perceived to be feasible. “If that’s being cowardly, then so be it,” Estabrook said. Massie adjourned the meeting by thanking all of the participants in the discussion, and by reminding them that more public input into the budget will be welcomed at the next meeting on Tuesday, March 12 at 7:30 p.m.

Permit Disapproved (Continued from Page 1 ) airman Lee Bird asked Bowers about ailer on the property that the county allowed the family to live in for a yea id three months while the store was ng rebuilt after the fire. Bowers sau t the trailer has been disconnected a. iid, and the buyer will move the i her within the next few weeks. BZA member Peter Kramer asked about a second trailer on the property. Bowers said that that trailer belonged to someone else who wanted to sell it, who had asked to be allowed to display it on the Bowers’ property and that the trailer has been sold and should be moved soon. The Planning Commission’s recommendation in the case was delivered by BZA member James Swindler who represents the BZA on the Planning Commission. “The Planning Commission decided that the apartment could be used for a caretaker or watchman, but not for a permanent residence,” Swindler said. “Another question that was expressed was can you have a residence in a place of business that sells explosives.” Bowers said that a minimal amount of fire works is kept in the store and that black powder is stored in a cinder block shed behind the store. The floor (of the store) is completely concrete, the sides are steel, the ceiling is steel and the only wood that is in the building is the paneling that is in the store area,” Bowers said. The family had looked for housing to buy or rent in the Amissville area, but Bowers said that nothing could be found. “We have to live somewhere,” F Buildina? • Paint • Lumber ^ • Millwork " • Hardware ^ Complete One-Step BUILDING SUPPLY Warrenton Building Material Co., Inc. on the By-Pass, Warrenton . 347-1400 Bowers said. “Since we did live in the building before (the fire), the ideal thing for us to do was to live in it again.” Gregory Monahan, member of the BZA, asked for Konick’s opinion of the application. “In the original building application and all the discussions that led up to it not one word was mentioned about the living quarters, and again I am concerned that someone went ahead after they built it and after they got an occupancy permit and built whatever has been represented here...and moved in without applying for a building permit and occupancy permit, Konick said. “The only way that this came to my attention was through the Building Commissioner.” Konick said that his interpretation of the caretaker or watchman phrase in the ordinance was that it was to mean something different from a single family residence. “They (the Board of Supervisors) made a distinction (in the ordinance), and I don't think that it’s one that doesn’t mean anything,” Konick said. He said that he recommended denial of the application because the Bowers’ apartment is a ‘principal residence within a commercial structure" and would not meet the criteria in the ordinance. Kramer asked Bowers how much of an area the family had looked in for housing. Bowers said that she and her husband wanted to live within at least five miles of the business. Jim Grehan, a resident in the area of the business, spoke in opposition to the special use permit. “I don’t think that there should be an apartment in that building because they’ve had one fire and there’s always a possibility of another," Grehan said. Building Commissioner Emiel Smet, when asked by Monahan about the building code’s relation to the case, said that the use would be allowed by the code. Smet said that the fire marshal would have to determine if a fire wall or other safety precautions would be needed in the building. The BZA then began considering the four findings that have to be made in order to grant a special use permit. The first finding, that the proposed use will not be hazardous or injurious to or (Continued on Page 12) USED CAR SPECIALS OF THE WEEK 1982 Chevette 4 Door 4 speed, AM/FM, air conditioning!

The second finding is that the proposed use will not adversely affect the health and safety of persons residing in or working in the area. 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, and was made unanimously. The BZA did not make the fourth finding, that the proposed use would be in accord with the zoning ordinance and the comprehensive plan, by a vote of three to two. BZA members Monahan and Sharon Luke cast the two positive votes. The votes hinged on each member’s interpretation of what a caretaker or watchman would be. “I view that as a caretaker is distinct from someone who simply lives there and has no connection with the business,” Monahan said. “I think certainly that the proprietor of the business is the person who takes care of the business and doesn’t necessarily have to be the guy who washes the windows or paints the walls, and that there is a lot of ambiguity here.” Swindler and R-aiuer said that they could not make the fourth finding. Swindler said that he viewed a caretaker’s or watchman’s quarters as a place “to sit and have coffee or something,” but not a place to live in and sleep in. “I Sperryville Realty SPERRYVILLE EMPORIUM SperryvHto, Virginia 22740 (703) 967*0068 - Office 88.8 acres, hilltop building sits vrtth tremendous view, pond, road frontage. $120,000.

"I don’t think that they should have to say that it’s an absolute necessity for their business to have a caretaker,” Luke said. The tie vote had to be broken by Bird. He cast the deciding negative vote because he said that in his view the apartment was not a dwelling intended for a caretaker.
