Founded 1877 35TH YEAR, NO. 22 ISPS 4.Y'>.">80 16 PAGES THURSDAY, JUNE 6,1985 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA Phone 675-3349 25' Residents Concerned About Tax Increase By JON KLAVERKAMP Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors, during a public hearing on the 1985-86 county budget, listened as many residents raised concerns about predictable and significant increases in taxes each year. Discussion focused on the perceived excesses of the proposed budget as well as the harmful effects of continually rising taxes on both the character of the county and the welfare of its citizens. The budget as advertised in the Rappahannock News calls for a tax levy of 63 cents per $100 of assessed value. That’s up 13 cents from the pre vious fiscal year. James Williams of Wakefield District voiced a typical concern: “Taxes have doubled over the past three years; I’m concerned about it. Will they (taxes) double again or will we get some relief?” Williams said he couldn’t afford another tax hike, adding that the increases hurt small landowners Rappahannock News Photo/Jon Klaverkamp THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS held a public hearing on the 1985-86 budget at its regular meeting on June 3. Standing in the foreground is Robert Eastham of Flint Hill addressing the supervisors. the most. Arguing that real estate taxes alone can not pay for public services, Williams urged the supervisors to consider alternative means of taxation. He said the county might consider attracting some small industry as a way of increasing revenues. Citing the fact that residents here all shop outside the county for groceries, Williams also suggested the possibility of luring a supermarket to the county. Williams told the Board he thought the county was stagnating, and that he favored the hiring of a county administrator as an aid in planning for the county’s future. Addressing the concerns of those who fought hardest for increases in the school budget, Williams said he was not against education, “but you can’t make up in one year what you’ve lacked for ten.” Newbill Miller of Washington urged the supervisors to “get control of real estate taxes,” adding that if they do not, the character of the county will change for the worse. Miller listed three things that contribute heavily to the county’s present character which will be adversely affected by ever increasing real estate taxes: 1) retired people, 2) tourism, and 3) farming. “We have to spend our money wisely,” Miller warned. Opposing the notion that more money will necessarily improve the school system, Miller said that if a child wants an education he will get it, if he does not he won’t. Still, Miller was not opposed to raising teachers’ salaries. Claiming that it is a mistake to spend about $1.2 million on additions, to the high school, he thought instead that some of that money should be used to increase teachers’ salaries. The money allocated for the building additions could be better spent elsewhere, Miller said. James W. Fletcher, III, of Sperryville, lamenting three tax raises in five years, said the county needs to be “tighter” with its money. He told the Board that tax revenues should be spent as if they were an individual’s personal income. While citing the need to stop spiraling taxes, Fletcher said he feared for farmers: “We get no more for cattle now than we did three years ago, but the cost (of maintaining them) has in- • creased three-fold.” He also argued (Continued on Page 16) Eastham Announces Formation Of Taxpayers Political Party Reading from a prepared statement during a public hearing at the supervisors’ regular meeting on June 3, Robert Eastham of Flint Hill announced the formation of a new political party in Rappahannock County. “It will probably be called The Rappahannock County Taxpayers Party,” Eastham’s statement reads. The purpose of the party will be to protect the interests of the taxpayers of Rappahannock County, who fund “the cost of both the basic and essential public services in this county as well as the irresponsible schemes of those to whom money seems to mean nothing as long as it is someone else’s money,” according to Eastham’s statement. During the public hearing, Eastham said the new party will promote a “second revolution” in the county similar to the one President Reagan recently called for on tax reform. Eastham stated: “And why does this year’s budget bring us to the point of starting a ‘Second Revolution’ in Rappahannock County? Why is it, in truth, the ‘last straw’ for Rappahannock County taxpayers? Basically because it is the culmination of a long, gradual series of abuses and rip-offs done with a smiling, neighbor’s face, with sweet talk of the familiar county sort....” With the proposed 1985-86 budget, however, Eastham claimed that the “sweettalkers” had gone too far. He then cited numerous reasons why the budget as advertised should be rejected. He faulted the proposed budget for three main reasons: 1) it is inaccurate and misleading, 2) increases in it are unreasonable and have not been justified to the taxpayers, and 3) it does not include “up-coming new demands for fresh money to be raised from the taxpayers... which the supervisors have been discussing recently.” From his list of arguments against (Continued on Page 16) Reassessment Committee Discourages Regional Approach In PD9 Area Wayne Cilimberg, executive director of thie Planning District Nine Commission (PD9), reported the findings of a reassessment feasibility study to the Board of Supervisors during its regular meeting June 3. Two people from Rappahannock County were on the committee that conducted the study: Supervisor Richard Latham and Merle Scroggin. The purpose of the study was to determine the potential for a regional approach to reassessment in PD9, which includes Rappahannock, Fauquier, Culpeper, Madison and Orange Counties. After four private assessment firms responded to a questionnaire sent out by the committee, it was determined that a regional approach would not provide “significant cost savings.” It turned out that Rappahannock County probably would have realized some saving by the regional approach, but since the other PD9 counties probably would not have, the committee declared the approach unfeasible. The committee, however, encouraged any subgroup of counties in PD9 that feels it could realize a saving by the regional approach to go ahead and adopt that approach. Cilimberg said that PD9 would assist any such subgroup. The committee also recommended that counties move to a 4-year reassessment cycle rather than continue with a 5 or 6-year cycle. The purpose would be to keep assessments as close to fair market value as possible. Sludge Bill Strider of the PD9 commission reported the findings of an informal study on the potential land capacity for the application of septage and sludge in Rappahannock County. In conducting the study, Strider consulted both with the Water Control Board and the Health Department. Strider said the purpose of the study was to 1) determine the volume of septage in Rappahannock County, and to 2) determine the amount of available land in the (Continued on Page 12) Durrette Says He’s ‘The Underdog’ NORFOLK — Wyatt B. Durrette began his official tenure as the Republican nominee for governor Saturday with an acknowledgement he starts out trailing. “I’d have to consider myself the underdog,” Mr. Durrette said after he ''"’accepted the nomination by acclamation at the GOP state convention here with a Democrat-bashing, union-baiting speech. Gerald L. Baliles, who beat Mr. Durrette four years ago in the attorney general’s race, has no challengers for the Democratic nomination for governor, which will be conferred at his party’s state meeting Saturday. “He’s the sitting attorney general ... and he has won that race,” said Mr. Durrette, a Chesterfield County lawyer who represented Fairfax County for three terms in the House of Delegates. Mr. Durrette was able to enter the convention triumphant. His only GOP opponent, 8th District Rep. Stan Parris, withdrew May 1. His plea for equal unity for the entire ticket came hours before the start and far more hours before the end of a tight five-way race for lieutenant governor. “As Stan and I have had a series of contests and have come together in friendship of unity, so must this party come together after the rest of our business here is concluded,” he said. “Let none of us forget that, though we may have our differences of opinion about the other races, when you examine the philosophy embodied in the ticket we will face in November, and the party we oppose, the differences in this room do not matter at all. ” Mr. Durrette struck out agressively and personally againt Mr. Babies as the head of that ticket in as close to a revival style as a soft-spoken, gentlemanly Republican could get. And he he used his acceptance speech to out the conservative comer (Continued on Page 11) wmmmmmmmyw wmw riKwnwmmi nimniw^rr ■ r,» Rappahannock News Photo/Jane Baagky THE TOP THREE graduating seniors at RCHS are: 1-r; Cindy Dodson, valedictorian; Kelly Bristol and lulie Burke, salutatorians.

As expected, Wyatt Durrette won the Republican gubernatorial nomination by acclamation. Mr. Durrette, a 47-year-old attorney and former legislator from Fairfax County, was opposed for his nomination until 8th District Rep. Stanford Parris withdrew from the race May 1. Virginia Republicans rounded out the statewide ticket that they hope will comer the market in conservative voters. “I will suggest to you in all candor that John Chichester will bring to this ticket a response from that great army of conservative independents and conservative Democrats ... those who have voted with us in past elections,” former Gov. Mills Godwin said Sunday at a “unity breakfast.” Mr. Chichester, state senator from Fredericksburg, won the fiveway race for lieutenant governor at the state convention here Saturday after five hours and four ballots that saw a slow and steady attrition of his opponents. Mr. Chichester, 47, is an insurance executive who touts his business success and legislative career as vital ingredients of “electability.” He was first elected to the Senate in 1977 to succeed the late Democratic Sen. Paul Manns of Bowling Green and was re-elected in 1979 and 1983. A Virginia Tech graduate with a ready smile and amiable manner, he espouses a philosophy “based upon a firm belief in individual worth, self reliance, discipline and hard work.” Mr. Chichester had the support of the Coalition, the old guard conservative establishment of lapsed Democrats led by Mr Godwin. Mr. Godwin also had given an early endorsement to Mr. Durrette, who swept into his political comeback as the nominee for governor by acclamation. Del. W.R. “Buster” O’Brien of Virginia Beach became the attorney general nominee after a surprisingly strong showing by Winston Mathews, a Charles City County lawyer. Expected to offer token opposition, he garnered more than a quarter of the vote. “We have a splendid ticket for November. We have three individuals who are compatible with each other in every way, Mr. Godwin said. In the past two statewide election yeas, the Coation-backed candidate for lieutenant governor has lost the nomination race. “We have not been holding back in trying to put this group together,” Mr. Godwin said. Despite pressure and pleas from the campaigns, Me. Durrette made no endorsement in the lieutenant governor’s race among Mr. Chichester, former Attorney General Marshall Coleman, Del. Pete Giesen of Waynesboro, conservative fund-raiser Richard (Continued on Page 3) W.R. “BUSTER” O’BRIEN ...surprising opposition JOHN CHICHESTER ...4th ballot victory

The program will serve a minimum of 106 economically disadvantaged youths between the ages of 14 and 21. Priority will be given to inschool youths between 16 and 19, but out-of-school youths are encouraged to apply. Youths may work 30-40 hours per week at $3.35 per hour during the enrollment period. Worksites for the five county program will include public and private non-profit organizations such as area public schools, public libraries, town and county offices and other non-profit facilities. Counsellors visit participants at the worksites to monitor their progress in performing duties on the job, to make sure they are supervised at all times and to make sure that the participants are not doing any work in violation of child labor laws. The counsellors also work with the participants to help them set goals, and to help them understand what is expected at the worksite. “Most of the youths have usually had no prior work experience, so part of their training deals with goal setting, how to interview for a job, understanding the application procedure and getting along with co-workers apd supervisors,” said Norma Gibbs, 70(K>i regional manager. Participants receive three days of training before they are sent to a site. The responsibilities of the worksite include providing the youths meaningful work and supervising the youths. The worksite is not responsible for any portion of the wages or fringe benefits earned by the SYEP participants.

The program will be designed to meet the needs ef economically disadvantaged youths by providing meaningful, structured and well supervised work to improve the work habits and skills of the youths. The youths will be provided vocational counseling and occupational information while earning income. Youths will receive services which will induce and aid potential drop-outs to return to school. Other goals of the program are to provide some income to the youths during the summer, to provide work experience to enhance their chances of getting a job on their own later, to provide training in job seeking and to inform participants on opportu nities and services that are open to them. All interested youths 14-21 years of age should contact the guidance office at the local high school (at RCHS contact James Futtrell or Maryanne Biggs at 987-8575), the Virginia Employment Commission in Culpeper, or the 70001 office at 825-3988 or 3491411. Eligibility to participate in this program is based on family income and family size. All eligible youths’ applications will be reviewed. Applicants will be referred to potential job sites to be interviewed by the personnel at the work Victory After Defeat By DENNIS WINGFIELD Rappahannock News Special Writer Weather which occurred during April and May reminds me of that saying, “The thrill of victory, and the agony of defeat.” May was the thrill of victory, following April’s agony of defeat. Toward the end of April, many people in the county were engaged in conversations that spoke of wells possibly going dry and potential crop loss. The reason? In April, only 1.06 inches of rain fell. That isn’t much folks especially when you recall that April of 1983 produced 9.39 inches of rain followed by 5.17 inches in April of 1984. In addition, temperatures this April were considerably warmer (6.3 degrees per day) thap last April. Warm temperatures and little rain do find a way of offering concern. We watched April and we waited. We waited and waited and waited. Skies were clear, temperatures were warm and rainfall was little. And finally April moved on. So much for April showers...that came only to the tune of 1.06 inches. ENTER MAY. Dare we hope? Probably not, with May 1 hitting us with 83 degrees and another day without rain. And then it happened...on May 2nd and 3rd it rained. In fact those two days produced half as much rain (.58) as did the entire month of April. And although there was another 12 days of little rainfall, the merry month of May got its act together. On 13 of its 31 days, it rained. On May 31. in less than five hours (3 a.m.-7:45 a.m.) it rained more (1.09 inches) than it did during the entire month of April. Total rainfall on the last day of May was 1.52 inches. This gave us 4.89 inches for the month. April and May...what a contrast. As we approach summer, it would be well for all of us (even those not particularly interested in weather) to realize that severe weather conditions can strike anywhere. Recording weather data (rainfall, snowfall, temperatures, etc.) can be fun and interesting. But there’s another side to weather that people often ignore and that is weather of the severe type. Floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, hail and strong winds that are not of hurricane force are included. Most recently, people in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and Canada experienced first hand death and destruction brought on by severe (tornadoes) weather. Too often we feel that really bad weather happens somewhere else. Undoubtedly, that’s what some of those in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and Canada thought. There are many precautions which can be taken to reduce or even avoid disaster during severe weather. The most important thing is to have an awareness of weather conditions in and around your area. Weather that necessitates watch alerts or warnings will have meteorologists or other announcers on radio and television broadcasting these warnings. When they are given, take them seriously. sites. Efforts will be made to refer more than one applicant for each position so the applicant must successfully complete the interview to be hired and enrolled in the program. The work experience will be made as close to the real world of work as possible. June 19 will be the first day of training and recruitment for the program has started. Gibbs said that from 15 to 20 youths from Rappahannock should be participating. The program will last for nine to 10 weeks. “We still need worksites in the area, so any organization interested in participating should call the 70001 office, too,” Gibbs said. RAAC Receives Grant The Rappahannock Association >i the Arts and the Community (RAA )) recently received a $4,000 grant fr< m the Virginia Commission for the Ar s. RAAC was one of 72 arts organizations, 04 local governments, 10 colleges and 20 school districts to receive a grant. The grants will support performances, art exhibitions, artist residencies and administrative salaries for arts organizations throughout the state. RAAC will use its grant to pay a part of the director’s salary. The grants were awarded on the basis of artistic quality, management ability and need. This is the. third year that RAAC has received a grant from the commission in the Support for New and Emerging Arts Organizations category. RAAC will be eligible to apply for grants in that category for the next two years, and after that RAAC will have to apply in a different area. RAAC applied for the grant on April 1, and representatives of the organization appeared before a commission panel to answer any questions about the application. “We were a little scared because the panel was pretty hard on the groups before us, but they didn’t ask us very many questions and they told us we were doing a good job,” said Laurie Marshall, RAAC executive director. The commission is the state agency charged with promoting the arts throughout the Commonwealth. Its funds come from the General Assembly of Virginia and the National Endowment for the Arts.

The driver, Joan Kaye Hall of Huntly, and her daughter were injured in the accident. They were alone on the bus. Hall was beginning her morning pick-up route when she attempted to stop at an intersection. State Trooper Rufus A. Baines said that Hall stated that she could not stop due to brake failure. No charges were placed. The bus, a 1976 International, was totalled in the accident. It is being examined at the county’s garage to determine the cause of any mechanical failure. • School Board Executive Session The school board met in an executive session to discuss personnel and legal matters on Thursday, May 30. During the session, the board approved Ann Marie Burke as a second grade teacher for the 1985-86 school year and accepted the resignations of Rebecca Roberts-Show and Sally Bristol as high school English teachers. The board received an update from the staff on legal matters and adjourned at 8:51 p.m. • Convention Report Seven Rappahannock Republican delegates attended the state convention last weekend in Norfolk. The Rappahannock delegation voted unanimously for Buster O’Brien in his bid for the state attorney general nomination. Deciding who would be the party’s nominee for lieutenant governor caused more of a split in the Rappahannock delegation and caused much of the convention’s excitement. “Some of the speeches were the standard political yawners, but then Maurice Dawkins, a candidate for the lieutenant governor nomination, spoke,” said Jesse Pond, Rappahannock Republican chairman. “There were about 9,000 people there so the Scope was filled, and he had us all on our feet yelling during his speech.” Pond said that all of the lights were off except for spotlights during Richard Viguerie’s speech asking for support in his bid for the nomination. “They released balloons and swung the spotlights around when he finished,” Pond said. Five votes were split between the seven Rappahannock delegates. On the first lieutenant governor ballot, one of the Rappahannock delegates voted for Dawkins, four for John Chichester and two voted for Viguerie. The vote changed to five for Chichester and two for Viguerie on the second ballot. The 5-‘ vote remained unchanged through the next two ballots until Chichester won the nomination. The convention ended around 11:30 p.m. on Saturday night. “Dawkins and Viguerie both said that they will extol the virtues of the Republican ticket all over the state until the election,” Pond said. “It looks good for us, but it won’t be easy.” YOUR CHRYSLER-PLYMOUTH DEALERS ANNOUNCE A Super 'Spring Sellout WE'VE GOT TO CLEAR EVERYTHING OUT NOWI GOOD SELECTION!

He always knew what the late Harry F. Byrd Sr. — former governor, U.S. senator and founding father of the Byrd Machine — wanted and he knew what Mr. Durrette wanted, Mr. Godwin said. Mr. Chichester’s closest rival was Mr. Coleman, who lost the governor’s race four years ago to Charles S. Robb. “We have aboard . . . W. Roy Smith, who is active leader of this great coalition of Virginians who think like we do,” Mr. Godwin noted. “His presence with us this time will be very meaningful and he’s going to bring with him...many, many members of his very select committee that was Virginians for Robb four years ago.” The Democrats will gather for their convention Saturday in Richmond, but none of the nominations is contested. Attorney General Gerald L. Babies, who beat Mr. Durrette in 1981, will head the ticket. Del. Mary Sue Terry of Patrick County will run for attorney general.

He was the onh one of the three who didn’t have a good idea of who his Republican opponent would be. “I’ve always said my campaign was David vs. Goliath, and Goliath takes on different forms,” he said Sunday. Mr. Wilder said he wasn’t surprised at Mr. Chichester’s win. “I knew there was a strong ‘anybody but Coleman’ effort’.” Mr. Coleman blamed his defeat partly on the campaigns of Mr. Viguerie and Mr. Dawkins. Mr. Viguerie cut into his base, Mr. Coleman said, and Mr. Dawkins* respectable early showing denied him the first ballot lead and resulting momentum. Mr. Dawkins aimed his campaign not at winning the nomination but at attracting blacks to the GOP. A speech to the convention helped earn him 325 votes. “Once you’re not the leader, you’ve lost the momentum, and you have to show movement in the psychology of these conventions,” Mr. Coleman said. Mr. Chichester, who was expected to trail on the the first round even by his own staff, came out with a 10-vote lead. “With the Dawkins vote, a lot of people were going to any safe port in a storm and see how it shook out,” said Dennis Peterson, Mr. Chichester’s campaign manager.

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation V THURSDAY, JUNE 6,1985 , Mind Over Mortar t vV Regarding education in Rappahannock County, two things have become clear: 1) in order to attract and retain quality teachers, the county will have to increase teachers’ salaries, and 2) real estate taxes alone should not be depended upon to fund that increase. • Since the county’s revenue, however, derives almost totally $ from real estate taxes, it is hard l to imagine where else money - for teachers’ raises would come from. Obviously the supervisors • would either have to 1) levy a > new tax, or 2) divert existing • funds from a proposed item in • the budget. The Board eventually may have to resort to both tactics. f During the public hearing June 3, at least two residents ; and one supervisor questioned the need for the proposed additions to the high school. They argued that, although the additions may be needed, there are greater needs that should be addressed first, such as the, quality and morale of our teachers. The argument was made that, ;£ince teachers are crucial in the # r educational experience of our children, the funds that would be required to finance and maintain the proposed additions would be more wisely spent on ' teachers. The supervisors should give this some serious thought. There is no question that good teachers with high morale are more important to education than good facilities. We regret being in the position of having to argue for one over the other - higher teachers’ pay over new facilities - when both are needed. But it seems realistic to assume that the county will not have, anytime soon, both attractive salaries for teachers and adequate facilities. In the meantime, then, we must choose between them. Many good teachers have become so discouraged here that they have begun looking elsewhere for jobs. The county should be alarmed. New facilities, more supplies, a modem gymnasium — these are all secondary to teachers. Put the money where it is needed the most. t *-'*■***»; 1 This Was The News 1 In Bygone Rappahannock Tiroes... :r 35 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS George H.

DIANE BRUCE, Clerk Washington y Rappahannock Heritage Letters To The Editor Student Responds To the editor: I’m a student at Rappahannock County High School, and I’m responding to the interview of May 23 with Nelson Lane. When I read the article I was outraged and disgusted at Mr. Lane’s misrepresentations and his general comments. Mr. Lane said that students looked at him with “blank expressions” when he told them that teachers had received a 12 percent raise. Mr. Lane must have misread their expressions. The students weren’t shocked and surprised at hearing that fact; they already knew it. I know they knew because as spokesman at the demonstration, I told them in a report on the school board’s action of the night before. Our position was that the $120,000 cut from the proposed school budget might as well have been taken directly from salaries. What’s the difference in a paycheck less each month due to a reduced raise and a paycheck that’s smaller because you have to pay for health insurance, an item that would have been covered before the budget was cut? There is no difference. Both will hurt teachers and quality education. That’s why we walked out. If Mr. Lane saw blank expressions, perhaps those expressions came because students didn’t understand Mr. Lane’s answers. Or maybe the blank expressions came in response to Mr. Lane’s foul and abusive language. I ask Mr. Lane if he thinks a proper response to give 12 and 13 year olds, when confronted with facts and figures, is “That’s a bunch of bull_t” I see now why parents could have a reason for not wanting their children to participate in the demonstration. They may not have wanted their children subjected to Supervisor Lane’s choice of vocabulary. Asked why he sends his children to a private school, Mr. Lane said it’s because he wants his children to get the same kind of discipline they receive at home. Does he think that four letter expletives are an aid to better discipline in the public schools? I would also like to express my concern for Mr. Lane’s failure to deal in the truth. He said that the budget which was proposed would have resulted in a “100 percent” tax increase if it hadn’t been cut by the supervisors. We were fortunate that Supervisor Hubert Gilkey arrived to correct Mr. Lane’s misstatement. He assured us that the tax increase would not have been an impossible one to meet, as Mr. Lane had maintained. He also said that not all of the budget needs would have had to have been met by a land tax increase, as Supervisor Lane had led us to believe. Mr. Lane referred to us in newspaper interviews as “a bunch of kids having fun.” If this is the way Mr. Lane views a statement of concern from his constituents, then I wonder what Mr. Lane is doing in a position in which he is expected to listen to the people he represents. If he thinks we were out there just to have fun, then he didn’t listen to us, and I don’t feel he will ever listen to our arguments or to any arguments for things he’s against. While I’m writing, I’d also like to address Robert W. East ham and Becky Burke who wrote letters to the editor in the May 23 paper. You complain about how the situation at the high school was handled by the administration. You ask why the administrators and school board members didn’t do something to stop the demonstration. I ask you to think. Think. What would you have done? Perhaps you would have called the police. Maybe you wanted force used. Perhaps you wanted guns used if the students refused to come back inside. Guns probably would have ended the sit-in but I imagine classes might have been disturbed in the process. Rappahannock isn’t Kent State...or Russia. This is supposed to be the land of free speech and free assembly. Perhaps you should read the Bill of Rights. There’s a strange one included in that list-the right to peaceably assemble. And it doesn’t say everyone but school students. I realize that I’m being a little dra(Continued on Page 10) Roberts-Show Replies To the editor: Although things are “business as usual” at school now, and many would rather just forget the entire student walk-out incident, Nelson Lane’s clearly slanderous remarks about me in the May 23 paper cannot stand as the last word. First let me clarify a few matters. In no way did the teachers or administrators provoke, plan, or encourage the walk-out and each student involved was given parental supik)rt in the form of a note excusing them from classes. Some people would like to underestimate the intelligence and organizational abilities of the students here. Mr. Nelson Lane is one of these people. I’m sure Mr. Lane arrived that day expecting to find gullible students who would be bowled over by his practiced repartee of excuses for why he. and others on the board of supervisors robbed these students of $120,000. Instead, he found a mature, orderly group of well informed pre-adults who were angry that the quality of their education was in jeopardy and several of their most loved teachers were leaving. Mr. Lane also found that these students would not readily accept his hedging answers to direct questions and illogical explanations. I cannot count the number of students who came to me, and other teachers, afterwards to express amazement about Mr. Lane’s inability to answer the questions they asked. I’m afraid it was Mr. Lane who held a “blank expression” most of the morning. My contribution to the day, which Mr. Lane considered unprofessional and disgraceful, consisted of several questions to Mr. Lane. I asked him to explain to the students 1) how the magic figure of $120,000 was calculated, 2) who benefits most from lower taxes, 3) how I can do “more with less” when I teach in a room the size of my livingroom, when I do not have adequate texts or money to buy them, when we all have to ford the stream that pours down the hall every time it rains hard. On a more personal level, I asked him how I could do “more with less” when I brought home less than $10,000 (less than I used to pay for a year of school tuition and supplies in college), when I ride the school bus to school because my husband needs the wrecked, 12-year-old car to get to work. In his interview, Mr. Lane failed to mention his disgraceful and excessive use of profanity in front of the students, which I asked him to cease. His rudeness in shouting, “Listen, girl” af(Continued on Page 10) Thanks To Pastor Parker To the editor: Rev. Steve Parker, pastor of the Methodist Church in Amissville is to be commended for his loving concern for the entire community. He not only feeds and cares for his “flock,” but for others as well. He has visited our sick ana preacned our funerals, as we have no pastor at this time. Many thanks to a wonderful person. MR. AND MRS. GEORGE KIDWELL, SR. Amiss ville —From Both Barrels -- Unity Among The Democrats By GEORGE BOWLES Virginia’s politician watchers are waiting with more than passing interest for the Old Dominion’s other political shoe to drop during thisweekend. With the state Republican convention now history, and its ticket squabbles settled, the state’s Democrats will convene in the Richmond Coliseum Friday and Saturday to ratify their unopposed slate of statewide, candidates and to elect their central committee officers. There’s not much doubt about who those candidates will be. Barring some totally unforeseen circumstances, Attorney General Gerald L. Baliles will be nominated for governor. Sen. L. Douglas Wilder of Richmond for lieutenant governor and Del. Mary Sue Terry of Patrick for attorney general. The prospective Democratic candidates, accompanied by Gov. Charles S. Robb and other party leaders, made a flying trip around the state on the eve of the Republican convention last week. According to its organizers, the purpose of the trip was to demonstrate the unity of the party behind its tradition-shattering array of candidates. For the first time in the history of the Commonwealth a black. Wilder, and a woman, Terry, will be seeking statewide offices. The actual purpose of the campaign swing, however, beside its value as a show of unity, was to unsettle and hector the GOP, which faced a bitter struggle for the party’s lieutenant governor nomination. The Demo. cratic convention, on the other hand, is expected to be a veritable hymn to party harmony, concord and political peace. Of course, it may not work out that wav. but that’s the plan. A part . the euphoria which seems to be enveloping the Democrats as their convention approaches may be the result of a cautious but quietly spreading reassessment of Wilder’s chances in the campaign. Earlier this year those chances were put at near zero by both politicians and political analysts. No political prognosticatewas willing to believe that a black, especially one who was perceived by many as having liberal leanings, would stand a ghost of a chance of winning a statewide election in conservative Virginia. In recent weeks, however, many Democrats, even in the party’s conservative wing, are not quite so certain that Wilder’s effort is foredoomed to defeat. After a few early blunders, such as branding as racists some of those who doubted his viability as a candidate, he t “ns to be settling down. Some 01 his more controversial statements may have been conscious steps taken on the advice of his campaign manager, Paul Goldman, a gentleman who is not exactly renowned for either the restraint or the political soundness of his views. Then too Wilder, who has been accurately described as “flamboyant,” is perfectly capable of shooting from the lip on his own if sufficiently aggravated. The word, however, is that he has received some high level counselling on the subject and warned that his road to success, if there is one, lies in his being a team player in the Democratic effort. According to Capitol sources, Gov. Robb is among those who are convinced that Wilder not only has a chance of winning, but that he will be an asset to the entire ticket . . . provided he remains a team player, keeps his temper and is selective about the advice he takes from his staff. On the tour last week, Wilder was a vocal and highly articulate advocate of the team approach for the trio, while Baliles and Terry urged the audiences to support Wilder and the ticket. As for Terry, she is continuing to marshal her strength, as well as her campaign funds, from all points of the political compass. Yet most of the Capitol observers do not share the Democratic leaders’ optimism about, the growing acceptance of their ticket, and they remain unconvinced that Wilder can win or that he will be a positive help to the ■ other two candidates. It must also be said that some are considerably less certain now that he will be a fatal liability to the ticket than they have been in the past. Of far more importance, in their view, is the obvious willingness of Robb to place his prestige and enormous popularity behind the Democratic effort. Clearly, for a change, the Democrats are unified. Thus as the party’s delegates prepare to meet and formally name their nominees in the statewide races, they will be doing so at a time when there is remarkably little in-house bickering, a rare state of affairs for the usually faction-riddled Democrats. And for the Republicans, the emerging Democratic ticket must suddenly appear to be not quite the pushover it had seemed to be just a few short weeks ago. Bird Replies To the editor: Because of my absence from the county for several weeks in May, I have been unable to make an earlier reply to Mr. Nelson Phelps Lane’s open letter in the May 9 edition of the News. Mr. Lane’s letter either expressed a failure to understand the point at issue between us, or deliberately fuzzed it up to make his case look better. The subject matter of the meeting on April 29, at which the events in question took place, was the school budget. The public spoke - mostly in favor of the budget recommended by the school board-and then Mr. Lane spoke - raising questions about methods of reducing the budget and taking note of the rising cost of what he termed the “total school overhead,” the decline of the school population, and the seeming drop in “productivity.” These questions were indeed relevant to the budget, and no one at the meeting suggested otherwise, despite the clear implication in Mr. Lane’s letter to the contrary. As each of the questions was raised, it was addressed by members of the staff and school board. It was only after that, whey Mr. Lane read the article by a Mr. Patrick Buchanan, that he stepped right out of the ball park. The article purported to compare the school systems of New Hampshire and Washington, D.C. It made the point that N.H. teachers’ salaries were among the lowest in the nation, while the achievement of N.H. students, as measured by SAT scores, were the highest. Since comparable data for D.C. teachers’ salaries and student achievement were at the opposite extremes, Mr. Buchanan concluded, on these facts alone, that to increase the level of teachers’ salaries would have no bearing on student achievement. In a court of law, there is a presiding officer who is empowered to rule on, among other things, the admissibility of evidence That is, for evidence to be considered, it must at least be shown to be relevant to the issue, on the theory that consideration of irrelevant material would be both confusing and a waste of the Court’s time. N.H. is a state that is almost entirely rural, with a significant amount of high tech industry and many public and private schools and colleges. It is very different from D.C., which is and entirely urban jurisdiction with a high percentage of underprivileged stu dents. So different, in fact, as to make Mr. Buchanan’s purported comparison seem either naive, or, as is more likely, a simplistic support for a conclusion already formed. While rural N.H. bears some similarity to Rappahannock County, there are, again, significant differences. I will mention only two. First, N.H. does indeed pay its teachers low salaries, as stated by Mr. Buchanan; but when total compensation is considered, that is, non-contributory, job-related educational benefits, retirement, health and dental care, and other fringe benefits, in addition to salaries, N.H. is seen to be more generous to its teachers than many states, and far more generous than Rappahannock County. Second, the high SAT scores attained by N.H. students were predicated on a N.H. policy to permit only the most able students to sit for the tests. In Rappahannock County, as in Virginia generally, there is no such selective process. Neither Mr. Buchanan nor Mr. Lane mentioned these differences or gave any indication that they were aware of them, yet it was these differences that made Mr. Buchanan’s article irrelevant. In the absence of a presiding officer empowered to rule on the admissibilty of such irrelevant material, it was, in my opinion, irresponsible of Mr. Lane to put it forward to the meeting for consideration. It was in this context that I addressed the meeting and used the terms “irrelevant” and “irresponsible.” I leave it to the public to decide whether the terminology was appropriate. Mr. Lane has repeatedly said, in letters and interviews during the past ^ few weeks, that he favors increased salaries for teachers. In reading Mr. Ruchanan’s article with apparent approval, however, he betrays his real bias - a bias against the school system, against raising teachers’ salaries, and above all else, against raising taxes. If this were not so, why did he not read an irrelevant and misconceived article purporting to show that raising teachers’ salaries would result directly in improved SAT scores? Mr. Lane concluded, in his letter, that “ You all treated me like an ass the other night.” If his psyche was wounded, as I suppose it was, it was a self-inflicted wound. LEE BIRD Washington

Doff i—w LET “SPACE” HELP YOU SELL There is nothing that will turn off prospective buyer faster than the look of a crammed house. Closets jammed with clothing, toys and boxes; messy garages or carports, overfumished rooms; spilling-over bookcases, triple-stacked china cupboards; attics and basements with a flea-market look — all clutterturn buyers off. Many buyers don’t mention it, but Realtors can see the chill come over them. Some find it distasteful, others find it oppressive, as though they had to cope with all that. Whatever the reaction — it is always negative. If you want to sell your home, make a good impression on buyers by having it look as spacious as possible. You do this by getting rid of everything extraneous, admitting as much daylight as possible and keeping the place shipshape. Now, not later, is dm time to have your big sorting-out party. Inventory what you are going to sell, give away or throw away when you move. Then take action. Outer space is OK for astronauts. Inner space is -good for homesellers.

News From The Castleton Area Our benefit dinner at the fire hall last Friday evening was a financial success with the most delicious food yet. “The dinners brought in roughly $1,025 and the tickets around $2,000”, says Peggy Woodward, Woman-in-Charge. Plenty of hard work went into the preparation and serving and lots of nice people helped with the chores. Lovely ladies like Mrs. Helen Fridenstine and Mrs. Marguerite Nikolajevic were busy around the hall all evening. The first place prize went to Mr. Carpenter of Madison, second place to Chief Grigsby of our fire department and third place to Ms. Betty Munro of Castleton. To all those citizens who could not roak® —The food was out of this world!!!!!!-Can’t stop thinking about all those luscious, delectable morsels!! The Rappahannock County High School sports awards banquet was held last week at the Amissville fire hall and the “dinner head-honcho” was the one and only, Mrs. Peggy Woodward. It was the first year that the parents prepared the food, usually it’s held in a restaurant such as Panorama. There were approximatley 250 people, mostly parents, relatives, students, coaches (teachers), Mr. Chappell, the Principal and Mr. Toth, Vice Principal. It was a fine affair with enough food to please all.

The other two captains and outstanding players were Thomas “Reggie” Williams and Walter Frye, both of Sperryville. The entire team is to be congratulated on their great ability to play so well together. They glided up and down the court, passing the ball back and forth and slipping it into the net consistently with the gr ;st of ease. The other two first string champion athletes were Devan Moore of Amissville and Butch Foster of Sperryville, both unbeatable guys. The second string on this team was unbelievable talented too. We just couldn’t lose with this kind of teamwork!! The R.C.H.S. annual musical was held last weekend and was it fantastic!! “The Unsinkable Molly Brown” was directed and conducted by Mr. and Mrs. Don Bomberger and Ms. Kathy Hewitt and starred Julie Burke as Molly, the colorful, comical character of the old west. Julie carried her part off really well when at one hilarious point, she started losing her skirt. So well in fact, that the audience thought that it was part of the show. That was an evening of a million laughs. Castleton had some fine actors and actresses in the play. They were Jon McCullough, who played Molly’s uninhibited, happy-go-lucky Father, Jim McCullough played the bartender and Gaby Ringleff, a refined lady of the upper crust. The play was one of Rappahannock’s most entertaining musical comedys ever presented. Mr. and Mrs. J.T. Woodward are being visited by their oldest daughter, Darlene Conover and her husband, Clint for two weeks. They’re on their way to New Jersey from Alaska where Clint has been transferred with the telephone company. The Woodwards are sure happy to see them.

More Letters Roberts»Show (Continued from Page 4) ter I had introduced myself and the fact that I was the teacher who asked the students to come in because Mr. Lane was not going to take out his checkbook and give them back the money he helped take from them. At least 70 students followed me in, but I was personally proud of all of them. I feel both sides learned a valuable lesson. The students learned that those in political positions are not necessarily wiser or more intelligent than the greater public and those in governing positions must be able to answer for their decisions. Mr. Lane learned Rappahannock students are well educated, perceptive and can see through a phony - many students saw Mr. Lane Student Responds (Continued from Page 4) matic in talking about guns to end the sit-in. There were other, less violent ways to handle the situation. The administration could have suspended us. That’s true. But wouldn’t suspending 255 students have disrupted school routine, too? Maybe you think our school has room enough to hold 255 students in either lunch or cafeteria detention. You obviously haven't seen our cafeteria. The administration did all they should have done. In closing, I would like to make an appeal to the citizens of Rappahannock. Education - quality education-is in danger here. The $120,000 budget cut is intolerable. f ir schools simply can’t stand it. It will leave our county at the bottom ol the. list when comparing teachers’ salaries and bene Wc Buy and Sella Mortgage Notes CallJor a quotation <ft3£s> VIRGINIA MORTGAGE EXCHANGE, INC. 5105 Backlick Road Annandale, VA 22003 Unit R Diane Warfield Kelly Loan Office 256-3600 •8 in an expensive suit driving his Mercedes earlier that morning and then saw him appear at the school in an old truck and dirty jeans purporting that he was “just like them." I did make one very pointed accusation of Mr. Lane that day which I will repeat here. I said that he had helped create the feudal society wherein the major landowners here run the countv and run over many of its citizens. Hi's only reply was “That’s not feudalism, girl, that’s socialism.” Clearly, Mr. Lane did not graduate from Rappahannock High School! REBECCA ROBERTS-SHOW Sperryville fits with those of surrounding school systems. To date, seven of our teachers at RCHS have resigned. At least seven more will stay only as a last alternative. They’ll stay to feed their families but only until they find another job. We stand to lose over onethird of the teaching staff at RCHS. Quality education can’t exist without quality teaching. And 99 times out of 100, quality teachers are experienced teachers. I ask you to call your supervisors and tell them you support restoring that $120,000 to the school budget for next year. Petitions in support of that are being circulated. Sign them. We’re talking about your children the future of this county. jim McCullough Amissville Kappahannock News Photo/Jon klaverkamp TWO PUPS FROM PERFECT’S LITTER — The Rappahannock Hunt Club hound “Perfect” recently gave birth to 12 healthy puppies.

Auditions will be Tuesday and Wednesday, June 11 and 12 at 7 p.m. in the Gay St. Theater. The Showcase will be Saturday, June 29 at 8 p.m. in the Theater. Beginning with the All-StarChicken Revue at the Hillsdale DriveIn in the mid-seventies, the Rappahannock Talent Show has been held in different locations (Carrigan’s School House, the public elementary school, the Community Center in Washington, the Gay St. Theater) and to benefit various organizations (Sursum Corda, Mountain Magic Cinema, RAAC) over the years. Each time the audience has been treated to a high quality and funny variety show. The question has been asked, “Why does so much performing talent uwell in this rural area of Virginia?” It is part of the magic and mystery of the foothills of the Blue Ridge. It is also the legacy of what happens when a community encourages and supports creative talent. If you have an original song, j dance, poem, comedy routine or skit, please come to the auditions and share your talent. ‘Barefoot’ Runs Through June 15 Barefoot in the Park will run through June 15 at Wayside Theatre.

Wakefield News By HELEN RUISI Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer Commencement Speaker Wakefield School in Huntly is pleased to announce that former Iranian hostage Colonel Leland J. Holland will be the speaker at the Sixth Annual Commencement Exercises. Holland, a career Army Military Intelligence officer, is currently the post commander at the Vint Hill Farms Station in Warrenton. Holland was the senior embassy official held hostage in Iran from November 4, 1979 until January 20, 1981. He spent a toted of seven and one-half months in solitary confinement, longer than any other military hostage. Holland was awarded the Defense Meritorious Service Medal for the hostage ordeal. He also has been awarded the Humanitarian Service Medal for his role in the successful evacuation of thousands of Americans from Iran during and after the Iranian Revolution in 1979. Holland has also received the Distinguished Service Medal, the Army’s highest peacetime award, which was awarded following the demise of the Shah’s government in early 1979 when Holland played a key role in the defense and subsequent liberation of the U.S. Embassy and its personnel during the attack by the Iranian rebel forces. The commencement exercises will be held in the school’s garden on June 16 at 6 p.m. when 23 seniors will be graduated. Sports Banquet Wakefield held its annual Sports Banquet this week to hondr the school’s athletes and coaches. In his remarks, Athletic Director Hunt Harris commented that the banquet was a fitting end to what had been a banner year in the growth of Wakefield’s sports program. The 1984-85 academic year had seen the completion of the school’s gymnasium as well as an increase in the coaching staff and the number of teams. In addition, during the year the first wins ever were earned by the lacrosse, field hockey and basketball teams. The varsity soccer team participated in and won the first conference championship that the school had ever been invited to attend. Awards were given in three categories to members of the six varsity teams. The player of the year award was voted by team members to the person who, in their opinion, contributed the most to the team. The winners of the most improved and coaches awards were chosen by the coaches of the individual teams. Player of the year awards went to Russell Row of Amissville (basketball and socc. i), Ann Dunning of Boyce (hockey), Lee Poore of Washington (lacrosse), Valerie Steinier of Culpeper (girls tennis), and Larry Tarr of Warrenton (boys tennis). Most improved awards were earned by Paul Lackman of Middleburg (basketball), Townley Mailler of Gainseville (hockey and girls tennis), Jerald McDowell of Gainseville (soccer), Jordan Bentley of Middleburg (lacrosse), and Shawn Hunter of Amissville (boys tennis). The coaches award was given to David Rowzie of Amissville (basketball), Leigh Bentley of Middleburg (hockey), Travis Tisinger of Berryville (soccer and lacrosse), Valerie Steinier of Culpeper (girls tennis), and Larry Tarr of Warrenton (boys tennis). Essay Award Winner Valerie Steinier, a junior at Wakefield, has won the award for non-fiction essay in the Shenandoah Writers’ Guild contest held this spring. Steinier’s essay, entitled “Scott Joplin - The Black Tradition in American Music,” will be published in Showcase, the Writer’s Guild magazine. Steinier is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jean Steinier of Culpeper. Headmaster William E. Lynn commended Steinier as well as her English teacher Mrs. Lee Buratti, for the excellent essay. Lord Fairfax Commencement One hundred and seventy six students graduated and 13 medallions of recognition from the College Board were awarded at the fourteenth commencement exercises at Lord Fairfax Community College. The program was held on Thursday, May 30. Dr. John T. Casteen, III, Secretary of Education, Commonwealth of Virginia, was the guest speaker and Reverend Malcolm A.

Eating At The Black Kettle By JON KLAVERKAMP # Rappahannock New§ ▼ Prime Rib anyone? Just imagine it-thick and juicy, sizzling prime rib-medium rare. Mmmm. You’ve been cheating yourself, haven t you? Or maybe you’ve assumed prime rib wasn’t available in the county. Is that it? Well, assume again. Prime rib is here, and in rare form — medium rare form if you prefer. As a matter of fact, you can probably get it now, as you read, if it’s Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Go ahead then, I won’t be offended. Set down the newspaper and rush over to the Black Kettle. That’s right, the Black Kettle. They’ve got the prime rib, bigger and better than you’ve had in a long time. Those who resisted the urge may want to continue reading. Last Friday night I had the opportunity to dine at the Black Kettle. It will come as no surprise that I ordered prime rib and made a feast bf it. Included in the meal were the following: salad bar, crab soup, baked [potato (with parsley) and wheat rolls.

Board of Supervisors Rappahannock County By: Diane Bruce, Clerk Then Paul’s goal has been reached 0_ because his family has annointed him head chef of the Black Kettle. His wife Joan says he has an artistic interest in cooking, adding that “he hates to compromise; he gets the best quality of everything.” Prior to opening the Black Kettle, Paul had little formal experience as a chef. He owes much of what he knows to a man named Gene Crittenden, formerly the head chef of what used to be the Travelers’ Inn in Calverton, Va. “He was the best chef I ever knew," says Paul. “He told me ‘You’ll never get rich in this business but you’ll never go hungry either.”’ Because Paul had a strong interest in cooking, he volunteered to help Critf. tenden in the kitchen at the Travelers’ r, Inn, where he ended up working parttime for five years. “He gave me the encouragement, incentive and confidence I needed,” remarks Paul. “He tr told me that cooking in a restaurant is r- just like cooking for five or six-you k just add more meat.” In addition to his ir work at the Travelers’ Inn, Paul has i- gained experience by handling the cooking chores in his family. Joan e doesn’t complain about that, k What is the secret to good cookl- ing? Paul says it’s nothing more than wanting to please an audience - the ■ customers. He enjoys seeing people eat J what he cooks, and he wouldn’t want to I disappoint anybodv bv serving mediocre food. That’s where Joan comes in. Whenever Paul’s urge to please becomes too expensive and extravagant, A FAMILY OPERATION — Three of the St. Clair’s taurant. Rappahannock News Photo/Jon Klavertamp pose at the counter in the Black Kettle Res Joan steps in to restrain him. She manages the business side of the restaurant. So if business is not booming, Joan will persuade Paul to make do with less exotic fare. This means no lobster during a recession. According to Joan, she does the Rappahannock News Photo/Jon Klaverkamp THE BUTCHER BLOCK - Paul St. Clair works behind the scenes at the Black Kettle preparing prime rib for the evening’s customers. Durrette (Continued from Page 1 ) of the campaign. He listed a whole host of GOP nightmares a loyal Republican could not support and ended each with the sing-song refrain of, "But Jerry Baliles did.” “If Jerry Baliles is going to be in your congressional district trying to elect a liberal Democrat to Congress — if he’s going to barnstorm three years from now to help elect Ted Kennedy or Gary Hart or whomever else the Democrats happen to nominate for president — let’s make sure he does it as a private citizen and not as the governor of Virginia,” he said. “Jerry Baliles is offering the same old national Democratic message of more government and more spending.” All the conservative litmus test issues were mentioned — abortion, prayer in schools, tuition tax credits and the right-to-w'ork law. He scored Mr. Baliles for not immediately fding suit to get Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority employees, in northern Virginia covered by the state law prohibiting compulsory union membership. “Jerry Baliles will say a thousand times during this campaign that he believes in the right-to-work law. But when he had to choose between politics and principle — w'hen the crunch came — he flinched. I won’t,” Mr. Durrettp said of Virginia’s law prohibiting compulsory union membership. Mr. Durrette already has had a run-in with organized labor, when he rejected bumper stickers that were made by union labor. “Talking about the right-to-work law has nothing to do with talking about unions. What it has to do with is a basic and fundamental freedom,” he insisted at a post-nomination news conference. “I think you’ll be surprised at the number of organized labor who support me.” The one Democrat who didn’t come in for Durrette's criticism was (iov. C harles S. Robb, who helped lead the party to a sweep of the statewide offices in 1981. “It’s never been my philosophy to look back and run against someone,” he said. “Chuck Robb’s not going to be governor for the next four years. It’s the differences between us that matter.” As Mr. Durrette acknowledged, he will have to contend with an opponent who can banner four years as attorney general. But he tried to turn that to his advantage. “Jerry Baliles’ fascination with government undoubtedly reflects his background. He has spent nearly his entire career as a government lawyer,” Mr. Durrette said. “Now there is nothing wrong with that. But there is no escaping a central fact: His perspective is narrow and mine is broad.” Mr. Durrette’s race “is extremely important,” said Frank Fahrenkopf, national Republican chairman, who would like to see a majority of Republican governors by 1991, when the new census will mean redrawn congressional and legislative districts around the country. “Wyatt’s importance for us is that it will make a difference of two,” he said, “one less Democrat and one more Republican.” worrying and Paul does the cooking. Despite the worries, though, Joan says she loves running a restaurant. “It suits my personality.” She has made a hobby of learning how to keep a restaurant solvent in this area. Thus Resourcefulness is the name of her game. “If the money runs out, I have to make something out of nothing - I use my imagination,” she explains. During an interview in the Black Kettle, she pointed to a set of worn curtains and said, “I don’t like those but I can’t afford to do anything about them. Business is tough. The biggest problem is the unpredictability of it, Joan said. According to her, business has fallen off drastically since 1979. She faults the sluggish economy for the decline in tourism, which is what has affected the Black Kettle. Whatever the state of the economy, Joan counts on a spurt in business during April and May, and September and the first part of November. The Black Kettle’s hours are as follows: closed Monday, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m on Tuesday and Wednesday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday through Sunday (reservations after 8 p.m.).

Tax Increases Worry Citizens (Continued from Page 1) that increasing taxes will eventually “destroy” the character of the county by forcing farmers off their land. Fletcher’s prescription for the proposed budget was to cut “at least” $250,000 to $300,000 from it. Regarding education, he stressed that everybody wants the best for the county’s children, but “we also want the continuation of the quality of life in Rappahannock County. ” Ron Frazier of Jackson District, arguing that boards in other counties increased teachers’ salaries without raising taxes, urged the supervisors to reduce the proposed budget. “There should be no hurry to adopt the budget,” Frazier said. “All agencies should have what they need, but not a penny more.” lOLY#BIBLE/’JT $ r * 9 0 9 0 l l 9 9 We left off last week saying, God is $ our Father today.

Sperryvtlle, Va. 22740 (phone 987-8505) Referring to the recent demands for pay increases from certain county employees, Frazier told the supervisors “the county should not be controlled by its employees.” He discouraged the board from hiring a county administrator, believing the existing number of county employees to be sufficient. He also Urged the supervisors to take a conservative stance on the budget, suggesting they hold work sessions to rework it. Frank Reynolds of Washington, citing the allocation of $1.2 million in the budget for additions to the high school, argued that the county’s educational priorities were wrong. Reynolds said it would be nice to have the additions but that it was more important to have good teachers. Consequently, he thought that plans for construction should be abandoned in favor of raising teachers’ salaries: “We need to pay teachers in Rappahannock more than teachers in surrounding counties.” Referring to the proposed additions to the building, Reynolds said “the crisis is in whose teaching our kids, not where they are (being taught).” Phil Irwin of Flint Hill disagreed with Reynolds’ point that teachers in DAVID R.BATCHELDER -Class “A” ContractorCUSTOMBUILT TRADITIONAL CONTEMPORARY AND SOLAR HOMES & ADDITIONS EXCELLENT REFERENCES FREE ESTIMATES Rt. 1.

Said Irwin: “The cost of living is lower here and the quality of life is better.” Regarding taxes, Irwin was concerned that landowners must bear the brunt “of all public expense.” He urged the supervisors to do something about the increasing demands of “bureaucrats in Richmond.” Sean Kilpatrick of Woodville, believing the budget to contain excesses, said he could not imagine that the supervisors will pass a 63 cent tax levy. He cited as unjustified expenditures the following allocations in the proposed budget: 1) $22,000 for the zoning administrator and building inspector, 2) $13,000 for an assistant to the commonwealth’s attorney, 3) $90,000 to buy a landfill, and 4) $40,000 for office furniture and equipment. Kilpatrick felt it was unjust that a jailer in the county with one year experience makes more money than a teacher with one year experience. To support his position, he cited both the years of education required of a teacher and the demands of the profession. Kilpatrick estimated that $120,000 to $150,000 should be cut from the proposed budget. Barney O’Meara of Sperryville referred to a letter that he had sent to all the supervisors, which was printed in the May 30 issue of the Rappahannock News. In that letter, O’Meara suggests that the Board consider alternatives to the real estate tax, because certain people are always hurt by taxes on their land. During the hearing, O’Meara suggested that perhaps real estate taxes had been “pushed as far as they can go.” He reiterated his point that the supervisors should seek new ways of raising revenues. Charlie Eldred of Washington, citing needs of the county that must be met, said that additional revenue will have to be generated: “But we can’t solve the problem with a tax on one group of people,” meaning landowners. “We have to attack the problem from many angles.” Regarding education, Eldred said it was “hard to understand how the supervisors could slash so quickly $120,000 from the (school) budget after the school board worked long and hard on it. We need to look deeper into the issue.” He felt that the cut ordered by the supervisors gave the impression that they viewed public education as a “necessary evil.” He urged the supervisors to work hard to solve the problems in the budget, specifically the school budget. “We can’t put education on the back burner.” Sharon Kilpatrick of Woodville claimed that the state was hypocritical in allowing land use taxation while still basing the formula that determines payment per pupil on fair market value taxation. She urged the Board to seek a change in the formula so that “the state can’t penalize us for using land use taxation.” Eugene Leggett of Washington said “He who pays the piper should play the tune.” He noted that this was happening due to the many taxpayers who showed up for the meeting to register complaints against repeated tax increases. Leggett supported further study of the budget, acknowledging a mistrust among many people of numerous line items in the budget. Taxpayers Party (Continued from Page 1) the budget, Eastham concluded that the supervisors should rework the budget during the rest of June. He urged them to remove all waste from the budget. “...every cent that some special or personal interest thinks ‘would be nice to have’ but which the supervisors cannot justify to themselves and to the tax paying public as absolutely necessary for public services” should be deleted. In speaking of the new political party, Eastham said it would fill all elective county offices with people “who are unreservedly dedicated to the idea and to the policy that every citizen’s hard earned dollars are precious....” These citizens, he continued, should not allow any of their own money to be taken from them “by legal force under the name of taxation” other than that amount which they believe is necessary to pay for essential public services. Eastham invited both Democrat and Republican taxpayers to join The Rappahannock County Taxpayers Party. He claimed that many people are already members of the new party in “spirit and conviction....” Eastham will announce the details of the new party soon after June 30, 1986. “What the supervisors do and do not do with this budget prior to June 30 may have a lot to do with the nature of that announcement,” Eastham said. The supervisors must approve the budget by July 1. ■MmmiMirainnrainBiBiBMBwnHnrau When You Want Fast Action...

Luke of Sperryville criticised the supervisors for not having formulated a position on the budget. He said they have not discussed or considered particular line items. He thought there should have been more communication between School Superintendent Robert Estabrook and the supervisors. “The superintendent should go over the budget with the supervisors. Somebody has to go through the budget,” Luke declared. He urged the Board to do its homework and to meet everyday until the job is done. Supervisor Nelson Lane, after all citizens had spoken, said he appreciated all that was said. He admitted that the Board’s situation was a tough one and that he himself had “tremendous problems” with the budget. “The supervisors have not even addressed the budget yet; (now) it is based solely on requests.” He said the hiring of a county administrator could be a good or a bad thing, depending on the quality of the individual hired. He also questioned, as did many, the need for additions to the Now's the time to buy your new glasses for summer We have most RX’s, bifocals, trifocals, photogrey and tinted plastics.

He estimated that taxes will “double again in five years if something is not done.” In an effort to raise funds for the school system, he suggested that the Board establish a fund for donations, “so we can pay teachers more.” He also suggested that pressure be put on the state to take land use taxation into consideration when determining the formula for a county’s ability to payThe Board set times for three work sessions on the budget: 1) Monday, June 10, 2) Wednesday, June 12, and 3) Monday, June 17.
