Sperry ville sewage project Supervisors tour completed plant With the $2.1 million dollar project “substantially completed,” the Sperryville Water and Sewer Authority held an open house on Tuesday at its treatment plant, located on Rt. 1003 in Sperryville. Four members of the Board of Supervisors and their assistant John McCarthy joined William Strider, executive director of Planning District 9, and the members of the WSA in a tour of the plant. “We wanted you to come and see what you got for the money, said WSA Chairman Martin Woodard. The treatment system was funded entirely by grants from the state and federal government, with assistance coming to the Authority from the supervisors and also from Mr. Strider’s office. The federal government pitched in $1,531,000, while the state’s share totalled $520,110, funded by the Department of Housing and Community Development. “It (the treatment plant) was a heckuva gift,” commented Mr. Strider. “It will never happen again -- those days are gone forever.” The grant funding for the Sperryville system was approved before the present fiscal restraints imposed at the federal level became so pervasive.“At a cost of about $100,000 a head for the people in Sperryville, it certainly was,” agreed Mr. Woodard. “I want to thank the board of supervisors for its support,” Mr. Woodard added. “It couldn’t have been done without you.” Plant operator Hudson Yowell, who along with apprentice operator Tim Falls explained the technical operation of the plant, reported to the visitors that the plant is not yet operating at its full capacity, 55,000 gallons of treated water per day. “It’s going to take awhile to get it up to full capacity.” Mr. Yowell also told the group that the facility had passed its first Health Department inspection late in October. Mr. Yowell, who is one of the operators at the Orange treatment plant, is overseeing the operation of the Sperryville facility until Mr. Falls receives his state certification, which is pending. At this time, some of the statemandated testing is being sent to a laboratory in Charlottesville, but Mr. Yowell and Mr. Falls said that once the certification process is completed the lab at the treatment plant will be capable of handling all the tests required by the state. “It’s a very well-equipped lab,” Mr. Yowell remarked. He added that in addition to testing the processes at the plant, the laboratory might, in the future, have the capacity to contract to do testing for other systems. Despite a persistent drizzle, the group toured the entire facility, getting an explanation of each phase of its operation. “It’s a unique system,” Mr. Yowell said. “It’s the only one like it in the state.” WSAfinds' hauler for byproducts It looks like Rappahannock County will be able to continue its moratorium on land application of septage and sludge or even turn the temporary ban into a prohibition without worrying over a final resting place for the byproducts of Sperryville’s sewage treatment plant. According to James Swindler Jr., secretary for the Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority, the WSA has a tentative contract with Rosebud Waste Hauling Company from Culpeper to dispose of the septage pumped from the individual tanks that are part of the Sperryville system. The company has also found a disposal site for the sludge generated by the Sperryville treatment plant, Mr. Swindler said. “They’ve told us that they’ve found a place to take it, but they haven’t given us a price on that yet.” To get a certificate from the state for the new facility, the WSA was required to submit a plan to dispose of the sludge left over from the purification process at the treatment plant. In essence, the plan was only a promise to find a disposal site. Fulfillment of that promise was complicated first by Culpeper’s backing out of an earlier agreement to accept the treatment byproduct and the septage which must be routinely pumped from the individual septic tanks. The WSA turned to the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors which balked at lifting its moratorium on land application but conceded that sludge from the Sperryville plan could be desposited in the county landfill. However, Robert Forman, the regional director for Solid Waste Management, said, “No sludge” at that near capacity, privately owned and operated dump. An initial soliciation of septage haulers brought no bidders on the Sperryville job; a second round found Rosebud and an apparent solution to both the septage and sludge disposal dilemma. Another problem was also resolved at the November WSA meeting, as the Authority reached a compromise with Perry Engineering on the dispute over contractual obligations regarding the completion date of work on the sewage treatment plant. The WSA had withheld $25,500 in “liquidated damages,” alleging that the engineering company had failed to meet the Jan. 5, 1986, completion date for work at the plant. With the threat of going to arbitration if the money wasn’t released and the contention that (1) the plant was ready to receive effluent well before the final inspection for “substantial compliance” and (2) the Authority had incurred no damage due to the delay, the WSA settled on an eight-day overrun and paid Perry Engineering all but $7,600. On hunting questions: Agreement on the problem but no consensus on solutions By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer At Tuesday night’s public hearing, there was general agreement that Rappahannock has problems: too many deer and too many “slob hunters.” But the polite and orderly crowd that filled the upstairs courtroom disagreed on the solutions for the supervisors to propose to the Virginia Game Commission this January. To control “slob hunters” who trespass and shoot from the road, A some asked for cased gun legislation. But others vehemently opposed even the local option laws which would make it illegal to carry a loaded rifle or a shotgun in a motor vehicle or on a public right-of-way without permission to hunt from landowners on both sides of the road. To control the county’s deer herd, suggestions included splitting the season, increasing the bag limit, dropping the limitation on one deer a day, allowing does to be taken at the start of the season and allowing does to be taken every day of the season. Hunters called upon their compatriots to police their own ranks against slob hunters and asked hunters and non-hunters alike to report infractions of hunting laws and to testify in court against offenders. “Landowners see somebody in camouflage and they immediately think he’s a slob hunter,” said Bobby Whorton. He suggested landowners take the time to check a person’s background and reputation rather than rejecting out of hand a request for permission to hunt. If the results of that check are positive, Mr. Whorton added, landowners should grant permission and enlist the hunter’s help in controlling the slobs and hoodlums who are giving the sport a bad name. “You be the eyes for the deputy. You be the eyes for the game war den,” Mr. Whorton told his fellow hunters. “The slob hunters are taking away my privilege and your privilege to hunt legally. We’re considered one of them. . .1 find no problem in turning in my own brother, or whoever, if I see him breaking the law. If we can find enough people who’ll do this, we’ll solve the problem of slob hunters. They’re not going to be sitting in their pick-ups looking for their dogs to drive a deer onto the road. They’re going to be looking in their rear view mirrors to see if anybody’s taking down their tag number. ” “It’s gonna take all of us working together,” Mr. Whorton continued. “We can’t just put the load off on the deputies or Officer Bankston (Rappahannock game warden Jim Bankston).” But Mr. Whorton sees no help in the local option law intended to give counties a way to curtail the carrying of loaded weapons on roads and thereby curb road hunting itself. “It may stop the driver,” but it’s not going to stop the other guy on the front seat of the pick-up or in the back seat of a jeep, Mr. Whorton said. “I know because I’ve seen it in Fauquier County.” “We already have laws against road hunting and those laws are being broken,” said Nelson Atkins. “It’s illegal to hunt from the road now and that’s not being enforced. No offense to Mr. Bankston and Sheriff Woodard’s deputies - they can’t be everywhere,” Mr. Atkins said, nodding his head in the direction of the game warden and the sheriff. “Local people who see these things going on must be willing to report them, swear out a warrant and go to court.” If the local option controls on carrying loaded weapons are enacted, Mr. Atkins warned, it will put more pressure on the state legislature to (Continued on Paqe 18) Supervisors enact new zoning ordinance By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer It was two years in the making - or eight years if the review and revision begun by former Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis is counted. But however long it took to arrive, Rappahannock County’s new zoning ordinance is now officially here. In action that was almost anticlimactic after the furor of earlier public hearings, the four supervisors at Monday’s meeting voted unanimously to adopt the rewritten land use regulations. And the work by the Board of Supervisors, Planning Commission and professional planner Richard McNear that has continued steadily for the past two years went on right up to that vote. At the request of the Water and Sewer Authority, the supervisors added a provision to require a permit from the WSA as a prerequisite to a building permit for any construction in the Sperryville service district which involves plumbing or sewage disposal. WSA member Carson Johnson noted that a mandatory hook-up applies to buildings with sanitary facilities which are located in the town or within 300 feet of the sewer lines. In addition, the supervisors revised the provision for migrant farm labor camps. Rappahannock’s orchardists were present in force to add their arguments to those of Supervisor J. Newbill Miller. Asking that the nine month limitation on occupancy of a migrant labor camp be dropped, Mr. Miller suggested that use be restricted only to seasonal, adult workers. “It takes people in the orchard 12 months of the year ... I don’t think we should create an environment where horticulture can’t exist.” Calling the issue of migrant housing a “county-wide problem,” Supervisor J. R. Latham proposed allowing the camps in agriculture and conservation districts by special exception, rather than by special use permit. “Then they’d come before the Board of Supervisors rather than the Board of Zoning Appeals.” i<T>_ _111*_„ 1_4-1___1 ^ A 111 »» llllllg VW 11V1^ bliv growers all I can but we’ve got to draw the line somewhere,” insisted Charles Estes, who led the push at the board’s last work session for eliminating the by-right provision for five-month migrant camps as an accessory agricultural use and persuaded his fellow board members to limit occupancy to nine months even with a permit. “We can’t help the orchardists at the expense of the rest of Rappahannock County.” He stressed that he saw no problems with those orchardists now in the county but posed the “what if’ a big fruit operation came in five or 10 years from now, leased 500 acres and worked the land with migrant laborers. “We have to think about the rights of other people; that’s basically what zoning is all about.” Raising apples in Rappahannock County has not been a money making business for the past several years, countered Mr. Miller. If fruit production again becomes profitable and land is kept in orchards, “it will be open space. It won’t be developed and won’t cost the county in services,” no matter who’s running the orchards, he maintained. “I’m only opposed to giving mi grant laborers full residential status,” Mr. Estes replied. “A good migrant laborer is going to work tobacco in Southside. He’s going to move along as the fruit and vegetables ripen ... If he has a family in Mexico, he’ll have to go home sometime.” While orchardists need a labor supply year round, that supply is made up of rotating workers who come and go; the same individuals don’t live in the camp all year, Mr. Miller interjected. “But we can’t guarantee the rotation!” countered Mr. Estes. Douglas Baumgardner, attorney for orchardists who have been embroiled in a zoning dispute over permit conditions attached to a migrant labor camp, reported that in Frederick County, migrant camps are allowed as an accessory agricultural use. But that locality has an “administrative procedure” requiring landowners to file regular affidavits attesting that the employees housed there are seasonal, he added, suggesting a similar approach for Rappahannock. “Seasonal should relate to the workers, not to the use of the housing,” he said. Mr. Baumgardner acknowledged that his clients, the Sharps, keep on a few migrant workers after the harvest season for pruning. “But just because you hold a migrant worker over for the winter months doesn’t mean he’s become a permanent resident.” Mr. Baumgardner also called for stronger language in the new zoning ordinance to recognize agriculture as the preferred land use in conservation and agricultural zones. This would echo the comprehensive plan’s policy for encouraging and protecting agriculture, he maintained, asking in particular that agriculture be accorded priority over residential and commercial uses in those two zoning districts. “The comprehensive plan (which is now under review by the Planning Commission) will have language like that in it, we hope,” replied Mr. Miller, the board’s representative on the Planning Commission. Zoning administrator John McCarthy pointed out that the new or dinance already specifies that a new land use may not be detrimental to adjacent farming, horticultural or forestal operations. But Mr. Baumgardner asked the board to go even further in recognizing agriculture’s importance “by holding agricultural uses to a lesser standard as to their impact on adjacent property,” particularly when that adjacent property is in residential or commercial use in an agriculture or conservation zone. Then an agricultural use should be “deemed to have no adverse effect” on the adjoining property, he said. Taking a “worst case” scenario, Supervisor Estes asked what would happen with a permit for a hog farm next to a residential development. “That hog farm would get preferential treatment under your amendment.” Mr. Baumgardner pointed out that hog farms are allowed by right in agriculturally zoned land, under both the old and new ordinance. If a landowner chooses to build a residence in an agricultural zone, “he’s got to take the risk that people are going to be farming,” he added.

Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter RESCUE PERSONNEL EXTRICATE a young woman from the wreckage of her 1980 Datsun 280 ZX on Rt. 642 near Amissville Saturday night. According to Trooper R. A. Baines, the vehicle was northbound when the driver apparently lost control. The car left the roadway and slammed into a utility pole, splitting it and pinning the driver in the wreckage. Firefighters and rescue workers used the “Jaws of Life” to get the woman out, as power lines dangled above the scene. The woman was transported to Fauquier Hospital by Flint Hill Co. 4 medic unit. Trooper Baines said that she possibly sustained head and internal injuries, but that the extent of her injuries is still unknown. Because she is a juvenile her name was not released. Units from Amissville, Washington, Flint Hill and Sperryville responded to the scene. Trooper Baines said that no charges have been filed at this time, and that he did not know if she was wearing a seat belt. Rescue workers commended Roger Cordani, a career firefighter who lives across Rt. 642 from the scene, with a large measure of assistance in extricating the woman as speedily as they did. “He deserves a lot of the credit,” said Scott Chamberlain of Amissville’s Co. 3.

Protecting trees The old custom of painting the first three or four feet of a tree trunk. white was thought by many to be for decorative purposes. Not so. The coating is to protect the tree’s southern exposure during winter from sun scald which allows subsequent freezing and rupture of the cells in the cambium layer beneath the bark, resulting in the bark’s splitting and admitting disease organisms which can attack the tree.

The best inn in Virginia Besides being recognized as among the finest in the world, The Inn at Little Washington was recently named as the best inn and restaurant in the State of Virginia. In his recently published VIRGINIA: A History and Guide, a comprehensive tour of the Commonwealth, author Tim Mulligan selected The Inn as “the most beautiful inn in Virginia - and the best restaurant, too." “Each room in the inn is furnished in the style of a grand Victorian English country house. Cookies, fruit and a bucket of ice greet each guest; in the morning The Washington Post is outside your door; marble bathrooms have heated towel racks . . . and on and on, for no detail has been overlooked . . . “It’s expensive, but beg, borrow or steal to stay in this small country inn with eight guest rooms and two penthouse suites ... If you’re staying here, hope that at breakfast they will have their superb panbroiled local trout along with the freshly squeezed juices and delicious rolls... “This is an innovative American restaurant with roots deeply entrenched in the French countryside . . . Patrick O’Connell is the brilliant chef . . . The menu notes that the food pays homage ‘to the lawmakers of Classical French Cuisine,’ and indeed it does, but innovation is also a part of Mr. O’Connell’s style ... Local produce is used extensively and all ingredients are of the highest quality...” Along with The Inn, Mr. Mulligan selected The Homestead at Hot Springs as the best resort in the Commonwealth. inspector’s stay (food, service, accommodation, ambience, locale) was filed with Relais et Chateaux in Paris. Only after The Inn passed the tests of the association’s inspectors were Mr. O’Connell and Mr. Lynch informed that they were eligible for membership - if they were interested. “They are extremely cautious about maintaining their standards,” Mr. O’Connell said. Formal application is not considered until after the J association has determined that the establishment not only meets its standards, but that the proprietors share its goals. Induction ceremonies for the 30 members appointed this year were held at the association’s yearly meeting in Paris last month. “It’s an inspirational endeavor,” Mr. O’Connell said. “The unifying factor of the organization is quality — always, above all.” He added that most of France’s 20 three-star restaurants Have Yourself A Levy’s Christmas!

We had a great deal in common.” “This opens up new avenues for The Inn,” Mr. O’Connell continued. “New patrons from other places, inspiration from others in the same business in other countries, the possibility of staff exchanges...” Membership in the association also enables each establishment to assist in arranging accommodations for its patrons during their travels. “It’s quite wondrous to be sharing that kind of clientele,” Mr. O’Connell said, adding that the other members “were quite pleased to have (an inn) which they could recommend to their countrymen when they are visiting D. C.” “We do expect people to come from faraway places, just to experience the restaurant,” Mr. Lynch said. It’s already happening. “People flying in from California to Dulles to eat - it’s been happening since the article in the San Francisco Chronicle.” (Last spring The Inn was chosen by the winner of a Chronicle recipe contest as the restaurant, of any in the country, at which she wished to have dinner and spend the night - all expenses paid, including travel.) “The Relais et Chateaux is the tourist’s Bible for French travelers,” Mr. O’Connell said. “If you stay in (member establishments) you will have a flawless, unique experience. It’s fascinating - to combine that certain standard of quality, yet keep intact the spirit of adventure, the uniqueness of experience, at each one. They’re all different.” Mr. Lynch stressed that The Inn’s latest honor “will not make a difference in what we do . . . Every time we visit an internationallyknown restaurant, there are many people from the surrounding area.” International reputation, he said, “means only that the restaurant offers an individual, personal experience which can’t be repeated anywhere else in the world. Part of the charm is the restaurant’s integration into its locale - its sense of place.” “Our European patrons,” Mr. O’Connell added, “have been delighted with The Inn’s setting in Le Petite Washington.” V«V.Y«Y John Michael’s Hairstyling Specializing in perms.

Open Evenings Till 9 635-4435 Harmony Hollow 7 minute* from Gateway Shopping Center Board sets hearing on RCHS expansion for Dec. 18 Over the objections of Newbill Miller, the Rappahannock supervisors have set Dec. 18 for a public hearing on the high school expansion program AND the acceptance of a $1.5 million literary loan to build the design which was approved last year by the State Department of Education. The long delayed expansion has been under consideration since 1976 when a joint School Board/Board of Supervisors committee ackowledged the overcrowded conditions at Rappahannock County High School. Since then, mandates for new classes, particularly in the area of special education, have continued to shrink the available classroom space, a development only partially offset by the addition of four trailers (which are showing signs of age and termite infestation). In the past decade, several expansion proposals stopped at the drawing board stage, failing to gain the support of the full School Board, much less the Board of Supervisors. The plan currently under consideration centers on a combination of new and remodeled space and will provide a gymnasium, locker rooms, four classrooms (includ mg science laDoratones equipped to meet state standards), bigger cafeteria, library, administration and guidance offices, clinic, barrier-free bathrooms for the handicapped and additional storage. This capital outlay program initially featured a “prefab” gymnasium but brick-and-mortar construction was substituted at the request of the supervisors who subsequently approved an application for a $1.5 million state literary loan to fund the expansion project. The money is expected to be released next week. Then the School Board has 60 days to put the work out for bids; if the project isn’t underway within that time limit, Rappahannock goes back to • the bottom of the literary loan funding list, with a wait of another two years until money again becomes available. But before the bids can be let, the Board of Supervisors must vote to accept the loan and then amend the county budget to show the revenue and the expenditure. In early October, the School Board asked the supervisors for their intentions regarding the capital outlay project but the supervisors have remained silent on the issue. At Monday’s board meeting, J. R. Latham announced that he’d received several phone calls from constituents, asking for a public hearing on the high school building program. “I’d like to see the academic portions (of the high school capital outlay project) built, but I have reservations about the gymnasium,” said Newbill Miller. “The people in my district have reservations about the gymnasium.” In addition, he questioned the need for remodeling the old gym into an auditorium. “We have a 58-cent tax rate right now . . . And coming up, we have a landfill, which is extremely costly, we have the handicapped access (to the county courthouse), we have the dog pound. They’re all paid for with local money,” Mr. Miller continued. “Ask the School Board to devise an academic plan (for capital outlay), and I’ll support it.” He criticized the architect’s presentation of the expansion program as an “all or nothing” project. “I don’t think that’s very fair or very wise and I don’t think it’s serving the educational interests of Rappahannock’s young people.” On previous occasions, school superintendent Robert Estabrook has told the supervisors that the time limit in which the School Board must act to get the project underway eliminates any possibility of changing or scaling down the building program. “I don’t buy the argument that the architects can’t revise the design and have it ready in time,” Mr. Miller said on Monday. Representing a citizens’ group supporting the RCHS expansion, Helen May asked for a hearing, saying that a capital expenditure of this magnitude deserves “a timely, full and open public forum ... so the public can decide the merits of the building program and make the supervisors aware of their position.” CHOOSE & CUT CHRISTMAS TREE FARM U.S. 211 BETWEEN WASHINGTON, VA. & SPERRYVILLE, VA.

V___/ THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4,1986 Editorial Tying loose ends The Board of Supervisors adopted a new set of zoring regulations for the county at its meeting Monday, decisively ending a period of uncertainty about the direction of the county’s development which has lasted far too long. We applaud the Supervisors for their action. The decision to enact the ordinances will please some, and infuriate others. But, at least, there is now in place a foundation on which future plans and actions can be based. The Board also approved a plan for barrier-free access to the Courthouse, which will assure equal access to local government and the judicial system for all the citizens of Rappahannock County. A consultant has been hired to explore the alternatives to the Lee site as the new county landfill. He was asked by the supervisors to once again look into the possibility of disposing of the county’s trash outside of Rappahannock. A public hearing has also been set for consideration of the capital improvement project at Rappahannock County High School. And, on Tuesday night, the Supervisors held another public hearing to solicit comment on the county’s hunting problems. While the Game Commission may or may not see fit to act on the Board’s recommendations, at least the county is doing its part to address the twin problems of deer damage to the orchards and the hoodlum hunters who cause so much anxiety for county landowners. The Supervisors’ actions merit recognition. The questions facing the Board, and the county, are difficult, and the answers have been a long time coming. While some will say that they’re "due, the steps taken this week still ? deserve commendation. By their actions, the Supervisors have demonstrated that they do indeed hear the voices of comment and concern raised by the county’s residents. ‘Blatant racism” charged To the editor: I feel a civic responsibility to share my reactions to the page 1 article on migrant housing in Nov. 20 Rappahannock News. It is incredible to me that 20 years after the civil rights movement of the 1960s, such blatant racism is publicly displayed, debated and reported in our community. Mr. Estes, for example, was reported as saying, “We’ll be saying, move in, bring your children, we’re going to educate your kids, you’re a permanent resident. . . I don’t agree with that...” And Mr. Gorfein complains, “We see the potential for having every migrant laborer in Rappahannock County next door to us . . . We don’t think that’s fair.” And then there’s his comment about “25 people across from a nice family.” If anyone in the reported discussion were really concerned about “too much growth,” rather than the race or nationality of the people under discussion, one would expect to see some data being discussed. How many migrant workers do county farmers need and use annually? What proportion are likely to stay on as year-round residents if this is allowed? How much population growth annually would that cause? How does this compare to our standards of acceptable growth rates? What are the economics of this? If they do become regular residents, by what mechanism will they pay their fair share of local taxes to support the schools? What do profitable farms and orchards contribute to our local tax base? What do we lose by losing our farms and orchards? But" the discussion did not proceed to this rational level of analysis, and my interpretation is that the reason is based purely on stereotyped, racist images of the kinds of people under discussion (in contrast to “nice” families like Mr. Gorfein’s). It’s about time we looked for ways to sponsor immigrant residents to our county. We need the willingness to work and contribute to the productivity of our enterprises. More importantly, we need an infusion of different ideas, energies and perspectives, as your article attests. BEVERLY HUNTER Amiss ville Rappahannock Heritage SKIES LIKE THIS are a sure sign of the approach of winter in Rappahannock. Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan 2 Letters to the editor Observations on hunting 1 o the editor: A copy of the following letter was sent to each member of the Board of Supervisors for their consideration prior to Tuesday’s hearing about hunting. Board of Supervisors Rappahannock County Gentlemen: The issues you propose to consider in the advertised 12/2/86 hearing cannot be covered by a genius in three minutes. I submit the following observations: 1) Extension of the deer season can only increase your hoodlum hunter problem and, in addition, penalize landowners with an unnecessarily prolonged season. 2) Increase the limit if you will but if you want to decrease the herd (one-half plus which is in the Park and out of your control), shorten the season and allow both sexes to be taken during the season . . . say a 14 day season, either sex for first 10 days. 3) Pay no attention to newcomers who purchased land adjacent to the Park (did not investigate before they invested) and now want to plant apple orchards. 4) Help those older orchardists adjacent to the Park (where government condemned land adjacent as a Park) only if they have helped themselves :— i.e. tried to lease hunting rights, or do not post their land, or who advertise hunting by invitation or permit and who have kept land adjacent to the Park in brush to reduce horn damage as well as grazing damage to orchards by planting diversionary food plots. 5) Recognize the Park policy of “letting nature take its course” — i.e. no hunting, no mercy on adjacent landowners who will be hurt by starving deer as land progresses from brush to a crown forest (which will support primarily turkeys and squirrels). Recognize also that such deer will be slowly dwarfed by starvation to the point where a six point buck will curl up in a wash tub. I’ve seen it in Pennsylvania and you can see it now in the Great Swamp area of New Jersey. Further, that the Park will control-burn only the Great Meadows area to maintain wildlife habitat. 6) Petition the Park or higher authority for relief like limited hunting within a few hundred yards of the Park’s border or to create a 300-foot brush strip on their land along the borders. 7) You each received copies of my proposal to the Game Commission in March 1986 regarding hoodlum hunting. This covers item two of your advertised hearing. Remember, too, that outside qualified, unprejudiced consultants are available and that deer, too, are God’s creatures and deserve your compassion. WILLIAM J. KEIM Amissville Call ifje ftappafyannocb flttai at 675-3349 with your suggestions for stories or photos. A teacher’s welcome To the editor: I would like to apologize to the migrant workers of Rappahannock County for the remarks made by Mr. Estes, our supervisor from Sperryville, in the Nov. 20 edition of the Rappahannock News. As a teacher, I would welcome your children into our school system as I would any child. As a resident of this county, I would welcome you and your families into our community. MARY JANE CAPPELLO Washington A student asks for capital outlay To the editor: I am a student at Rappahannock County High School and like so many others, feel that there is a need for so many improvements in our school, one of them being a large cafeteria. The one we have now is so small it won’t seat the students having lunch and our lunches are divided into two shifts. I have gone through the lunch line a number of times to find that if I wanted to eat lunch, it would have to be out of a sandwich bag, out in the hall, because there weren’t any seats left in the cafeteria and you aren’t allowed to carry a tray out in the hall. This is not a fun way to have lunch. It’s especially true on a day when spaghetti is on the menu and you are asked if you would like it in a sandwich bag, to take out in the hall and eat. How would some of you who are against enlarging our school feel if you were to come visit the school and stay for lunch, to find yourself sitting on the floor in the hall and having lunch out of a Glad sandwich bag, rather than a nice hot meal on a tray, sitting in a nice cafeteria? Don’t you think we deserve a bigger cafeteria? PLEASE, help with the capital outlay at our school. TAMMY L. DWYER RCHS student Sperryville Organ donors save lives To the editor: I am currently a student at Piedmont Technical Education Center in Culpeper. I am in the second year of the Practical Nursing program and a member of the Health Occupations Students of America Club. Each year our club chooses a project which can help the public and we work together to make the community aware of certain issues. Our project this year is Organ Donation. Countless lives could be saved each year by organ transplants. Many people are on waiting lists but there are not enough donors to go around. The waiting list grows daily. Anyone over the age of 18 can be an organ donor by completing a Uniform Donor Card. This card is a legal statement and is issued by the Division of Motor Vehicles with each driver’s license. Our club urges the public to consider filling out a donor card. It’s easy and it saves lives. JANE KIDWELL Castleton Car Wars: A fairy tale By JESSE POND Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer ONCE upon a time, there lived an old curmudgeon in Sperryville who traveled around the countryside in an old pick-up truck. But, as such things happen, the truck became enfeebled and the man sold it. After the passage of some time, during which the man sorely missed his faithful old truck, he was watching TV and a commercial came on that caught his fancy — a new midsized pick-up truck made by the maker of the famous four-wheeldrive vehicle. The answer to the man’s prayer', if ever there was one on TV. So our hero (we’ll call him that for lack of a better name) looked in the Yellow Pages and, lo and behold, the closest dealer for that brand vehicle also advertised in the Rappahannock News! The next morning our hero phoned the dealer and spoke to a salesman who told him that they had three of those new mid-sized pick-ups right there in Ma nassas, and he would be glad to talk business with our hero, and even give him a fantastic allowance on his old car! The very next day our man drove to Manassas and, sure enough, there were three of those little beauties in a row outside of the showroom, just waiting there for him. The salesman took a walk around the old car our man had just driven up in, consulted his notebook, scribbled some numbers on it, and, with a serious mien, announced that for the paltry sum of $7,950 they would turn over one of those trucks to our hero, provided he would let them have his old car. Now, any sum over a thousand dollars is a lot of mazuma (as they say in Chicago) to our hero, so he allowed that he would have to go home and sleep on this generous offer, and he departed for Sperryville. After a good night’s sleep, and permission from his wife, our hero phoned the dealership in Manassas to talk to the salesman, and to make him a counter-offer. However, the salesman was away that day, and the call was taken by a man who identified himself as the “Business Manager” of the whole dealership (a person Who drew a lot of water in those circles). “May I help you?” inquired the Business Manager in a tone of voice that our hero visualized as belonging to a person wearing a cutaway coat with a white carnation in the lapel. “Ah ha,” thought our hero, “I’ve gotten to someone who can deal!” and told this Voice all about his visit the day before, the price quoted (“All the facts, Ma’am”). After a short pause the Voice asked our man to wait while he got out the salesman’s notes and went over the deal. Now, this was on Ma Bell’s best daytime rates, so our hero was listening hard, but the Voice took his time, and finally came back on the line. “Yaas, I’ve located the notes, now just what was it you wanted?” “I like your truck,” our hero replied, “but I can’t quite make that $7,950 so I am offering you $7,700 and my old car for that certain truck.” “Hmmm,” the Voice intoned. “Let me go over this, so hang on.” So, for some few more of Ma Bell’s precious minutes he held on. Then, finally came the welcome words, “We are within a hundred dollars of a deal,” and “It will be well worth your while to come down here.” “OK,” replied our hero, now almost a buyer. “I’ll be there about 4 p.m., as this is a Friday and traf-fic gets heavy there in Manassas that time of the day and that day of the week.” So, off he sped to Manassas in the old car, checkbook in his pocket, hope in his heart, to arrive there just as about 30 percent of the cars registered in Virginia managed to be on the same roads at the same time. But, still undaunted, our hero finally arrived at his destination, parked his car, went inside and asked for the Business Manager. After a goodly wait, during which time he looked at every car and vehicle in the showroom at least twice, a callow youth came forth and announced that the Sales Manager (himself) would take care of him. Within minutes another individual appeared, clad in shirtsleeves (this guy does Business) and ushered our hero into his private office. How they ever got two doors hung in one phone booth will always be a mystery, but the office did also have a glass door out into the lot.. . and a small desk . . . and two cnairs (one with a padded seat). “Have a seat, and I’ll look at your car,” the Sales Manager said. He took the keys, went out the door to our hero’s faithful chariot, drove it around the building once and parked it right outside the glass door to his office. Less than five minutes have passed, but the Sales Manager does not come in through the door. He has disappeared. Now time passes, but slowly, slowly, and the seat gets harder, harder. A half-hour passes, during which time our hero amuses himself by watching the traffic gridlock outside get tangleder and tangleder. Finally, the Sales Manager (himself) comes in the door, looks at our hero with the same look that the hangman has for the man standing on the 13th step (“Is he too heavy for the trapdoor?”), put the car keys on his desk, looked in a small notebook, punched a small hand-held calculator for a few minutes, wiggled his eyebrows, scratched himself vigorously in several places, picked up a small pad of paper, scribbled on it, tore off the page and threw it away, and then (with a look of finally attaining success in a very difficult mathematical equation), wrote a number on the page and handed it to our man. “Eight Thousand, Three Hundred and Fifty Dollars,” the note read. Then our hero thanked the Sales Manager profusely for bringing him down to Manassas late on a Friday afternoon to drive a hundred miles in traffic, wherein 99 percent of the drivers were trying to get home for dinner - and the best way out of that town at that time was by helicopter. Oh, how our hero did appreciate that drive in the country! The moral of this modern day fairy tale? Send your wife to buy the car.

■l-jOL | Plastics and polymers: | two words of wisdom “Plastics.” That word of career advice was whispered to Dustin Hofftnan in the highly popular 1967 film The Graduate. Offered in all seriousness by a drunken middle-aged entrepreneur, the word drew an explosion of laughter from audiences across the country. It was a symbol of the “generation gap.” To the young, “plastic” meant cheap, artificial, false. To the American businessman, it meant profits, the key to an industry that has surpassed the expectations of even the i most sober ot economic forecasters. ! But while the generation gap seems ‘ to have disappeared, plastics are ; still very much with us. ■ Plastics are but one of a host of ! man-made polymers formed by che! mically combining small molecules ! into large, complex chains or stringlike molecules. Molecules are the smallest parti| cles of a chemical substance capable ' of independent existence. To put their size in perspective, there are as many molecules in a teaspoon of water as there are teaspoons of water in the Atlantic Ocean. Polymers are crucial to living things, providing basic structural materials and participating in life processes. They occur naturally in proteins, cellulose, wool, starches, and other organic material. They also occur in inorganic substances such as diamonds, quartz, and feldspar. Rubber is one polymer that is both natural and man-made. Besides the one-liter plastic soft dnnk bottles and rubber gloves you might find about the kitchen, polymers are encountered daily in various forms of nylon, paper, concrete, paint, lacquers, films, styrofoams, and fibers. Polymers package the food you buy, form the dishes you eat from, and wrap the garbage you toss away. They compose familiar household products ranging from carpets to toothbrushes. And if your house is relatively new, you may find that the water pipes are plastic — lighter, stronger and less expensive than the older and heavier cast iron type. But polymers pre not as new as you might think.

Flory, all of whom won Nobel Prizes in chemistry for thencontributions to the intricate and sophisticated processes of polymer science. In 1938 there were nearly a dozen commercial polymers on the market. Most were cheap items such as buttons, beads, and knitting need-les. Since then hundreds of new products have been developed by chemical engineers with properties to fit their customers’ needs - nylon molding powders which, when formed into gears, can outlast steel; indestructible fluorocarbons for lubricants and refrigerators, versatile polyethylenes for packaging and insulation, and durable acrylics for long-lasting paints. Given that kind of potential, today’s graduate should think twice if someone whispers the magic word “polymers.” This was the news In bygone Rappahannock times 25 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS From the Dec. 7, 1961, edition Mr. 0.

Give a gift that says ‘Rappahannock’ this Christmas By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON and THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock New» Special Writera It’s 6:30 on a Saturday morning three weeks before Christmas. You drag yourself out of bed before the sun has reached the morning side of the Blue Ridge, trying to forget the long work week behind you and the even longer work week stretching ahead. You force yourself to hum “Jingle Bells” as you gulp down coffee before taking to the highway and heading “down country.” Only 18 more shopping days until Christmas and the mall calls. But must you answer?

Erik Kvames, Rappahannock glass blower, has his own 1986 ornaments for sale at his shop near Sperryville. “I’ve tried to make them a little different every year,” he said of his Christmas tree decorations. “People collect them and this gives them a variety of hand-blown glass to hang on the tree.” This year’s ornament is a little lighter in weight, something Erik has deliberately tried to achieve. “One year, the glass ornaments were so heavy that people complained they weighed down the tree,” he explained.

Nan, alternating with her partner, quilts every other one.

Washington’s Colonial Christmas features variety of events The Town of Washington’s Colonial Christmas celebration this Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 6 and 7, will showcase the “rich tradition and quaint charm of the First Washington of them all,” according to the Washington Business Council, which is sponsoring the event. From candlelight tours, dancing of the minuet as well as the peasant dances of the colonial period, traditional dishes served at several local restaurants, craftsmen demonstrating a variety of crafts techinques, both colonial and modem, and carollers in traditional costume, the activities planned for the two-day celebration offer “something for everyone.” Two types of guided tours will be offered. Starting at noon each day, History, Art and Ar plans to serve chicken and dumplings, country ham and Sally Lunn bread. The service staff will be attired in colonial costumes as well. In addition, there will be live music at the restaurant both evenings. Brambles Cafe, next to the Post Office, will be serving Brunswick stew, another traditional dish from the colonial period. Although the stew was generally made with squirrel, Brambles will substitute chicken in its rendition of this standby, perfect for a frosty winter evening.

The “character” tours will provide a look at the First Washington during the time of its namesake, who laid out its streets and lots as a 17-year-old surveyor in 1749. The guide will assume the personna of one of Mr. Washington’s contemporaries, and will offer insights into the history of the town at the time of its founding. It will be like “stepping back in time,” Mrs. Thomasson said. Mrs. Thomasson added that many of the merchants as well as the residents will be dressed in colonial costumes during the celebration, and she said that the entire event “promises to be very elegant.” The Black Kettle Restaurant will offer several colonial dishes, in addition to its regular menu each day.

There is, of course, a great difference. Tranquilizers arc sometimes prescribed to soothe a troubled mind or body; but tranquility of the mind comes through the calm peace that is realized when one’s life is so attuned to God’s will that there is neither time nor space to allow frustration and eonfusion to invude the inner spirit of the soul. A tranquil mind is not an inactive one, and it is never a closed door, but rather an open door to more abundant blessings with an ever faithful assurance that God has even more blessings in store for us. When we are at peace with our maker, we arc capable of inviting tranquility to enter and live within us; we seek His will quietly with the knowledge dial lie never fails us. Your church or synagogue offers an opportunity for this serenity.

I’ve told the team,” Coach Leake continued, “that I want them to know that we take the season one game at a time ... If we keep that approach I feel we will be successful.” With two scrimmage games under their belts, Mr. Leake said that he was pleased with the team’s performance. Against Luray High School, “the offense was impressive, scoring over 100 points. But the defense needed a lot of work.” In the second scrimmage, against AA ranked Culpeper High, the Panthers also played quite well, the coach said. “They’re probably the best team we’ll face all year.” Getting down to specifics, Coach Leake pointed out that this year’s enure Save now JSSfc onSTIHL THEOUfc* Quality!

With 6’ 6” center Godfrey Freeman, and forwards Butch Foster (6’ 5”) and Devin Moore (6’ 3”, 240 pounds), “we should be very strong inside, rebounding and quick on the fast breaks, as well as controlling the boards.” “We have good quickness in senior guards Gary Jackson and Richard Tribino, as well. They bring a lot of experience from last year.” Coach Leake expects the duo to be the playmakers, to run the offense as they protect the backcourt. Two other seniors will be bringing leadership to the team: Walter Frye and Reggie Williams. Along with Mark Brown, the three will provide the Panthers with depth and offensive punch off the bench. “All three were impressive in the two scrimmages,” Coach Leake said. “I also have quite a core of junior guards,” he said, in Greg Smith, Tony Clark, David Raiford and Michael Dunn. “All are excellent hustlers, and I expect them to get equal playing time in different roles.” Dexter Freeman, already a standout in soccer and track and field, is playing basketball for the Panthers for the first time this year. “He’s an excellent leaper and strong rebounder,” Coach Leake observed. Another hot prospect is Mike Dearing, who moved up from last year’s JV team which placed third in the conference. Dearing is 5’ 10” tall, with a 40-inch vertical leap. Coach Leake expects him to be a strong force inside. His JV teammate, Matthew Settle, scored 16 points in the first scrimmage, hitting eight 25foot jumpers. “He’s an excellent outside shooter,” Mr. Leake said. The coach said that the toughest competition for the Panthers will certainly come from Manassas Park, ranked in the pre-season poll to finish first in the conference. The Cougars were the Bull Run District • champions last year, and are returning all five of their starters this season. Last year the Panthers finished the season 12 and 8, and “we would like to do better than that, to set higher goals,” Coach Leake said. “Barring injuries, if we can stay healthy, keep a positive attitude and not get overconfident, we’ll be successful. It’s important to know that we have the support of the school and the community,” he added. On a personal note, Coach Leake said that having played basketball at Rappahannock, “I’m really looking forward to coaching against the coaches I used to play against.” Tour ch ildren deserve the bestj tursti*n/Sfcd< SUPPORT THE RCHS BUILDING PROJECT!!

After each part is taken the scores and names of the five highest scoring students are submitted. A record is kept of each school’s score and at the end of the year a plaque is given to the two schools that have the highest total score. The contest is a school effort. All the trigonometry and calculus students were given the opportunity to participate. The team participants may vary from contest to contest because the five highest students may change each time. Because of time constraints the students took the test during a half hour of class time. Each test consists of six questions. The total possible team score is 30. Rappahannock scored 27. High school math, algebra, traditional and coordinate geometry are included in every test. “These questions require good mathematical thinkers more than they require a specific mathematical technique,” Mrs. LaCava observed. The second part of the contest was given Dec. 2.

Day realtor sss.'sr; GRANTEE/GRANTOR WHO’S WHO In our columns, we write for the general public. Therefore we always refer to “buyers” and “sellers” because readers understand this and that’s all that counts. However, when you read over legal documents concerned with the purchase or sale of real estate, or if you happen to pick up a book on real estate written from a legal point of view —you’ll often see the words grantor or grantee used in the same transaction. You will also see the shortened word “grant” used often. It deserves an explanation. A grant is the transfer of real estate by a written contract. A private grant is the transfer of real property from one person to another. A public grant is the transfer of property from a government to a person. A grantor is a person who transfers real estate by deed. In other words, the grantor is the seller. A grantee is a person who receives real estate by deed. You guessed it —the grantee is the buyer.

The Artists’ Forum, sponsored by the Rappahannock Association For the Arts and the Community, grew out of a series of discussions last year on providing information and support to local artists. One of the needs expressed by artists was advice on making a living while creating art. By any standards, Mr. Clifton is an expert on this subject. Since his days as a student in New York City, he’s held dozens of conventional jobs, some highly successful and demanding. He’s also tried to make it solely as an artist at least half a dozen times. “My intention is simply to pass along what has worked for me,” said Mr. Clifton, who owns a local design and project management company. “Actually, I never planned my life this way. I just kept struggling with the two goals of making a living and producing the art I was interested in. But my experience may help someone else wrestling with the same problem.” Mr. Clifton was trained as an industrial engineer and worked in this field, providing technical back-up for industrial designers. When he had the opportunity to design furniture he became fascinated by fabric sculpture, and this is one of the art forms he’s pursued over the years. His knowledge of engineering combined with a college job as a handyman led him to his own contracting business in New York City, renovating brownstones. This was a successful business venture — too successful, he said. “Life was so hectic and I was so swamped that I didn’t enjoy the success,” he said. In 1973, he became convinced he needed a quieter life and this conviction led him to Rappahannock County. Since then, he’s alternated periods of art work with periods of renovating and constructing energy efficient homes. “I’ve been a starving artist as ’ well as a businessman,” he said/ “But I have no desire to be a starv-" ing artist again.” " Mr. Clifton believes that artists need to “invest in their own art, by providing the income and time when - needed, to finance further art in the j future.” This works better, he said/ if artists have employment that is I project-oriented rather than a yearround , 9 to 5 routine. His seminar, The Eclectic Artist, will be presented Friday, Dec. 12, starting at 7 p.m. with a potluck sup- - per at Blackwater Homestead, one ‘ of Sam’s completed projects. He has ; slides tracing his development as an ' artist, from handpainted fabrics to ; high-tech tensile structures. His commentary will include his differ-^ ent strategies for supporting him- ■' self, from taxi-driver (another New York City job) to construction pro- * ject manager, and .the effect that these jobs have had on the creative ' process. There will be a discussion of how to live decently and still have time and energy for art, how to avoid" compromise while producing art that' pays, and possible new directions for “ art bom out of conventional employment. Mr. Clifton has enjoyed his business ventures as well as his artistic - life: not all artists are as lucky. He hopes that artists who come to the seminar will provide some advice from their own experience. Like other forum presentations, ■ The Eclectic Artist starts with a pot- • luck supper. The public is welcome * to join the group at any time during, the evening, and the event is free of: charge. All of the Artists’ Forum presen- ■ tations take place at Blackwater Homestead. To reach Blackwater, travel east on Rt. 522, turn left on' Rt. 650, bear right about a. mile further on Rt, 615. Blackwater Home/ stead is about a mile on the left.

Ordinance (Continued from Page 1) Seeing no support for his amendment, however, Mr. Baumgardner returned to the nine months restriction on occupancy of migrant housing. “Flexibility,” he said, “is inherent in any zoning ordinance . . . By limiting the use of a structure to nine months of the year, you’re denying the landowner flexibility, you’re denying the county flexibility.” He suggested, instead, that any restrictions be on a case-by-case basis, applied as part of the permitting process. “There’s more and more summer pruning,” with newer fruit varieties, reported George Sharp, owner of Mountain Green Orchard, a pickyour-own operation outside Washington. “It goes with the denser orchards.” “My Mexicans moved out November 1 (after harvesting), and I have more coming in this week (to begin pruning),” said Charles Foster of Flint Hill’s Foster Brothers Orchards. “Due to the weather and all, you’re pruning until spring ... We have to have help any time we can get it - 12 months of the year . . . We can’t get local help to do anything. Welfare takes care of them!” “You’ve got to consider the peach growers, too,” added Washington orchardist Alice Wood. “They thin in the spring and pick through the summer.” “Farmers who deal with a perishable commodity are very, very dependent on a labor supply,” Roseanne Sharp noted. “If somebody in the farming business needs help year round, what are the restrictions on building a house for a laborer to live in all year?” asked Sharon Kilpatrick. Outlay (Continued from Page 1) She pointed out that $75,000 has already been spent on architectural fees and construction plans. “I ask that you delay no longer,” she said, requesting a night meeting the week of Dec. 12-18. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke confirmed that a change in the county budget of more than one percent of the total, or $500,000, requires a public hearing which has been advertised for one week. Mr. Miller argued for holding a general public hearing on the high school expansion and then following that up with a second hearing on whether to accept the literary loan, should the supervisors decide to let the project proceed. “I’m in favor of holding one meeting at a time,” he said. But he was outvoted 3-1 by his fellow supervisors Charles Estes, Hubert Gilkey and J. R. Latham, who opted to combine a hearing on the over-all expansion plan with a hearing on acceptance of the $1.5 million literary loan. The meeting will be held on Thursday, Dec. 18, at 7 p.m. in the RCHS auditorium. I § |NUGGETSOF TRUTH| g“THE LORD’S PRAYER g I (PART 7) | g This week we will continue on g g with our study of "The Lord’s Prayer, # ? found in Matt. 6:9-13. We will look at ? 5the last line, "For thine is the king- 5 at 0 y dom, and the power and the glory for- y g ever. Amen.” As you have gone g 5through praying “The Lord's Prayer" 0 J and the different points we've shared j * with you in Nuggets, the last line calls 9 t for us to return to praise for God once y [ again as we did in the very first line of g "The Lord's Prayer". First, praise the 0 t y | Lord because He has translated you J 9 out of the kindgom of darkness and 9 y into the kingdom of His dear Son y g (Colossions 1:13) If you will walkg 0 according to the teaching of Jesus, 3 0 then you are in the Kingdom of God. ? 9 Next, praise the Lord for giving you 3 y power over the evil one (Luke 10:19) g 2 Please read. 5 0 If you walk according to the teach- i 5 ings of Jesus, then you can walk in jjj 9 the power of God. Next, behold God's | y Glory. Meditate on God’s goodness; g g that same goodness is in you if you ^ 0 are bom again, because God's Spirit | presides in every born again child of| ?God. (I Cor. 3:16). When you give? y praise and honor to God, He will re- 3 2 turn love and strength to you. God is£ 5 so worthy of our praise. If you haveg £ never openly praised the Lord, go in | your room and begin to offer praise to j Him, thank Him for sending Jesus. 9 When you bless God, He will bless y you! He is a giving and good God. g This series on the “Lord's Prayer ”g has been compiled by Bobbi Taylor,? from a teaching by Pastor Bob Dunphy at Family Worship Center. If youy have received a blessing from it.g please write or call us and let us knows* that it has helped you. FAMILY WORSHIP CENTER WASHINGTON, VA. (987-8505) (Mailing address: Rt. 1, Box 266, Sperryville, Va. 22740) “The same as with any other tenant house,” the zoning administrator said. “Density,” explained Mr. Miller, noting that, under the terms of the proposed zoning ordinance, more than one dwelling unit can be built on a lot only if the density of one unit per 25 acres in agricultural zones and one per 50 acres in conservation zones is not exceeded. “I have no problem with a Mexican family or any other family of whatever denomination in a house for 12 months or five years . . . They’re treated like any other individual. It’s when you bring in 40 or 50 and put them all in one unit,” said Mr. Estes. “That’s a very different situation ... I think it’s the duty of this board to think of the rest of the residents of Rappahannock County rather than a special interest group.” “But it’s to the benefit of everybody in Rappahannock County that the agricultural industry and the orchard industry remain a viable force,” Mr. Baumgardner contended. “I’m not opposed to agriculture . . .1 voted for land use,” Mr. Estes said, referring to the preferential assessment system under which qualifying farm land is taxed at its use value rather than its speculative value for development purposes. If use of the housing is limited to nine months, orchardists will have to rely on local labor, Herbert Foster said. “You can’t get local labor. We tried and we almost lost two apple crops.” With the blanket time limit, the supervisors will be further penalizing embattled farmers who are already “having a hard enough time with the deer,” Mr. Foster concluded. By consensus, with Mr. Estes opposed, the supervisors: 1) Dropped the nine months limitation. 2) Added the requirement for filing an affidavit with the zoning administrator every three months, reporting ages, names and citizenship status of migrant workers housed by permit at a labor camp. 3) Changed the consideration process from application to the BZA for a special permit to application to the Board of Supervisors for a special exception permit. Then, with barely a pause for breath, Mr. Miller moved for adoption of the zoning ordinance and map. “It’s like speaking before you go to the guillotine block when you know that the judges have already made up their minds,” said Robert Eastham, protesting the adoption. He charged that enactment itself would be “defective” since the Board of Supervisors had not held the required public hearing on the proposed ordinance. In addition, he said, the ordinance “contains provisions unknown to the people of this county,” provisions included since PLUMBING & HEATING STANDARD SUPPLY & EQUIPMENT CO. 501 E.

The new ordinance “will be known in local history as the Rappahannock Regimentation Act of 1986,” Mr. Eastham continued, predicting that any supervisor voting for enactment will eventually regret that vote. The new ordinance will bring “continuing and increasing litigation . . . more harassment and litigation among neighbors,” he said. According to Mr. Eastham, fair application of its provisions is an impossibility for “a competent zoning administrator.” The new ordinance will be a “bludgeon in the hands of bickering neighbors and a bludgeon in the hands of imperfect county officials,” Mr. Eastham said, .calling on the supervisors to amend the county’s existing zoning laws and give Rappahannock zoning regulations “suitable for its citizens in length and complexity.” Adoption of the proposed ordinance will be “the most serious single mistake . . . that this governing body will make, in this county, in my lifetime,” the former School Board member concluded. “For the umpteenth time,” Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke explained that the Virginia Code allows for a zoning ordinance to be adopted following a joint public hearing by the Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission. State law doesn’t set a limit on the time which may elapse between the hearing and adoption dates, he added. Repeating Mr. Eastham’s complaint, Hugo Sinnott complained about the lack of public notice on the adoption of the proposed zoning ordinance. “I don’t see how you can take it upon yourselves to pass it here today,” he chided the board, recalling the scores of opponents who had packed the joint public hearing at the high school last year. “There were promises made that there would be more hearings before the ordinance was passed!” “We’ve had public hearings, public meetings constantly since August,” answered Mr. Miller. “I call for the question.” The vote was unanimous and the proposed zoning ordinance became the existing ordinance. The board approved an order of 500 copies of the 150-page document; zoning administrator John McCarthy expects delivery by early next week. Hunting (Continued from Page 1) Three years ago, the supervisors were petitioned to add Rappahannock to the list of counties that prohibit carrying loaded rifles and shotguns in motor vehicles, noted Ross Hales. “It’s the only tool that the game warden can use to control on-the-road hunting,” he maintained. “Local hunters would do well to re-examine their thinking on this.” Slob hunters cruise the county’s back roads “with these big guns hanging out their car windows, ready to shoot anything that moves,” said Clyde Scott of Flint Hill. “I’ve actually had people shoot deer down right in front of me and me in the line of fire!” Mr. Scott said he’d worked for 25 years in the police force covering the jurisdiction with the highest crime rate in the metropolitan area. “I’ve been in back alleys in the black of night and I never suffered from the fear we’ve suffered in this county from slob hunters.” He called for legislation requiring that guns in motor vehicles be cased or in a compartment. “That will stop the slob hunters right there and make sportsmen of them all.” Bob Dennis asked the supervisors to adopt the local options for controlling loaded firearms on the county’s roads. “It’s not the best answer,” but it’s the best of the available alternatives in the absence of a statewide cased gun law, he said. “A case law would be more of a nuisance than anything else. . .but it would help decrease the slob hunters,” agreed Bert Gilkey, calling for statewide legislation. Meredith Gorfein also supported adoption of the local controls on loaded firearms in motor vehicles. The crowd was just as divided on solutions to the other half of the problem - the steadily increasing number of deer in the county. When the deer season ends west of the Blue Ridge, “our real suffering from illegal hunting begins,” said Ross Hales. “People either don’t know or don’t care where houses are. . .There’s a lot of indiscriminate shooting,” he said, asking that the season be shortened to reduce slob hunting but the bag limit upped to control the deer population. Carson Johnson questioned the contention that Rappahannock has an overpopulation of deer. Noting that he’d checked game for 20 years, he told the supervisors that hunters kill 10 deer for every game stamp Eileen M.

It’s big business.” He acknowledged that orchardists face a problem with deer damage to their trees but maintained that the destructive animals come from the protected Shenandoah National Park where no hunting is allowed. Increasing the bag limit here or lengthening the season will only “wave a red flag” to slob hunters in surrounding counties, Mr. Johnson said. Flint Hill orchardist Charles Foster read from a newspaper clipping of apple and peach orchards closing in western Maryland due to deer herd damage and problems with migrant labor. He echoed the recommendation of Washington orchardist George Sharp: give hunters a third deer stamp and require that the third deer taken be a doe. According to one of Virginia’s Game Commissioners, Rappahannock has the highest deer population per square mile in the entire state, Mr. Foster said. “And we’ve got to do something about it. . .There are no apples on any tree for five feet up from the ground. . .We can’t kill enough deer in the seven weeks of hunting season we already have so there’s no way we can shorten the 3eason.” “I’ve seen deer standing on their hind feet walking around plucking the branches as high as seven feet off the ground,” said Clyde Scott, who lives on Route 631 in front of Fosters’ orchards. Increasing the bag limit won’t have much effect on the deer population, maintained Ron Frazier, reporting that in Alabama, where hunters are allowed one deer a day, most still take only one during the entire season. The increase in posted property is the cause of the deer herd’s growth, he said, proposing that landowners open their property to sheriffs’ deputies, volunteer fire departments and civic groups for hunting. If the hunting season or the bag limit is increased, only Rappahannock residents should be allowed to take advantage of the eased regulations, said Meredith Gorfein. Representing 16 members of the L. Huntly Hunt Club, Bert Gilkey asked for the bag limit to be increased to three deer, one a doe, but opposed any shortening of the season. ‘Til be the first to admit that the county has a deer problem,” said John Clark. “We gave up raising apple trees a long time ago (due to deer damage),” reported the Rappahannock farmer. “There are people right now who can’t even raise a garden.” He pointed out that deer are nocturnal animals who feed at night and then return to safety in Shenandoah National Park and “the private parks and preserves scattered all through this county.” “I’m a hunter from the word go. I never thought I’d recommend a shorter hunting season but that’s what I’m doing,” Mr. Clark continued. He proposed that the season begin at the same time it currently starts but with both does and bucks permissible from the outset. Then after two weeks, the season should close, reopen the day after Christmas and continue until Jan. 5, again for both does and bucks, Mr. Clark said. Sean Kilpatrick called Mr. Clark’s suggestion for a split season “a marvelous idea.” He also asked that the permitting system for farmers and orchardists who suffer deer damage be liberalized. Currently, those permits issued by the game warden allow only the landowner or his tenant farmer to kill deer; that should be broadened so “the farmer and the orchardist can farm that hunting out,” Mr. Kilpatrick said. Mr. Foster noted that with a damage permit from the game warden, he can slaughter 10 or 20 deer. “But then what am I going to do with them? Throw them in the woods to rot? That’s good meat going to waste. Somebody would like to have that meat. ” “We’ll make our decision (on what to propose to the Game Commission) at a public meeting,” said Supervisor Chairman Hubert Gilkey. “And we’ll do it in time to have it in Richmond by January.” TAX DEADLINE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5,1986 t is the deadline for paying 1986 Rappahannock County Personal Property & Real Estate Taxes On December 6, a 10% penalty is assessed and on January 1, 1987, a 10% interest charge is added.
