"A line not carved in stone" was nonetheless fleshed out Monday night as county, South Boston and Halifax officials learned some of the specifics in the urban planning area's 55.89 square miles.
The urban planning area (UPA) includes both towns and spills into the county with a total 55.89 square mile area out of the county's total 811.5 sq. miles of land area, assistant county administrator Jerry Lovelace advised officials.
Forty-one percent of the population lives in the urban area, according to Lovelace.
No action was taken during the Monday night session, but officials were given maps showing sewer systems, water information and hydrology in the urban planning area.
Officials also learned there are 5,694 households in the UPA area, according to 1990 data.
Soil types, "important in determining land use and suitability characteristics" also were discussed.
Topography plays an important role in development, Lovelace noted, by helping avoid the cost of expensive pump stations through gravity flow.
Still, Lovelace said the current UPA line was "not a line carved in stone," rather very general.
Lovelace said the urban planning area represented the general area that the staff of the three governments "felt reasonable to assume to be the primary growth area for the next five to 20 years."
Commercial, industrial, dense residential, is expected in the sprawling Halifax - South Boston area included in the urban planning area.
Town and county officials concluded the session with an agreement to meet again next month at Mary Bethune Complex.
Supervisors
Following the joint session, supervisors continued county business in the scheduled session by approving a request by Superintendent of Schools Dennis Witt to appropriate one half the $935,575 state lottery funds the county will receive for FY 1999 to the Capital Improvement School Fund and the other half, $467,787.50 to be appropriated to the School Operating Fund.
In other business, supervisors addressed these following issues:
...On Consumer Utility Taxes, the county administrator said legal counsel's opinion was the county could collect utility taxes locally, asking the consumer to advise the county of its usage. Deregulation is a major factor in the collection problem since some utilities (example, natural gas to industries) now originate in states other than Virginia. The county will now investigate a method to collect.
...Decided not to participate in the Virginia Retirement System, House Bill 133, Purchase of Prior Service Credit on a Tax-Deferred Basis.
...Recommended no action on the Va. Retirement System Resolution on Age 50/30 years of service, which means after July 1 of this year county employees with 30 years of service and 50 years of age may qualify for retirement, but not full retirement. County administrator Dan Sleeper estimated 2-5 employees in the county system might qualify.
...Voted to approve a contract not to exceed $5,000 to Dewberry & Davis for a groundwater monitoring plan at the landfill and negotiations with DEQ.
...Voted to request a VDOT study for Route 693 for 45 miles per hour and also to ask that the roadway be considered for improvement with hazard elimination and safety funds.
...Supervisors approved $1,500 for a brochure - if the other involved counties all participate - to be produced on Lee's Retreat and appointed Doug Powell to a Board addressing the topic.
...Passed a Fair Housing Resolutions which also prohibits discrimination in the financing of housing.
...Worth Hudson was appoint to DCC's board by supervisors and Julian Harrison Jr. was appointed to SVCC's Board. Supervisors re-appointed Jeffrey Pittman to the Southside Community Services Board, fulfilling a state statute specifying certain membership requirements on the SCS Board, which occasioned the removal of Ruth Neal, appointed at the previous Board session. Supervisors also appointed R.E. Huff to the Community Corrections Board.

County officials estimate only 16,000 gallons per day of the 24,650 gallon capacity contracted with the Town of Halifax will be initially used at the new Grubby Road project system, Public Service Authority members learned Monday night.
It is anticipated the Grubby Road project system will be operational in July or August.
County administrator Dan Sleeper, noting Sydnor Jennings School's sparse water use, indicated it is now anticipated the school's sewer use will be less than previously anticipated.
The county administrator also said there had been a request to extend lines from the Grubby Road project to serve land between Post 99 and the Ward's Equipment, and he asked about contacting the Town of Halifax to see if it could be added.
Although Garland Ricketts said he considered it" premature to make the request until the system was turned on and the flow actually measured," the Authority ultimately approved discussing the addition of the proposed six to eight lots with Town of Halifax officials.
The county administrator is continuing to work with South Boston officials concerning the Riverdale sewer system. Sleeper said South Boston officials said the county could use one of their meters as the county attempts to closely monitor the sewer service there, which has been controversial. County officials have felt the meter reading is not a true sewer flow reading but also included infiltration into the system.
Sleeper also is to discuss transfer of ownership of the Riverdale system from the Board of Supervisors to the PSA.
PSA also voted to allow approval of eight taps for residential use for water along River Road in the AXA area. Three residents have requested use and PSA members were advised there are eight or nine homes in that area.
During a water/sewer issues discussion, PSA member and supervisor Garland Ricketts suggested supervisors appropriate $250,000 to $300,000 annually to the PSA fund over a number of years to fund water/sewer land extension or infrastructure, whatever is needed.
"That brings the county to the table with money," said Ricketts. "We need to go in a positive way. I believe that would show resolve of supervisors and they would not feel they are putting up the systems and the county is putting up nothing."
However, supervisor Earl Watts, countered, "It would take 20 years to rebuild what the county previously gave South Boston."

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Pork industry leaders say the hog market has recovered from its worst crisis in decades, but farmers aren't so sure. After months of losing an average of $25 on each hog sent to market, they have seen prices increase a bit, but they're still not making money.
''We're close to break even,'' said Karl Johnson, a hog farmer from Mankato, Minn. ''But we're going to have to have some relatively decent markets for a while to make up for the money we lost the last nine months or so.''
Johnson and thousands of other producers traveled to Des Moines this month to attend the World Pork Expo, the industry's annual trade show.
While industry leaders discussed ways to restore hog prices - from reducing the number of pigs going to market to opening more slaughtering plants - many farmers wondered if they would be able to hang on.
''Talk to my banker,'' said Johnson, who sells about 30,000 hogs a year but doesn't know how much longer he'll be in business. ''We'll see how long the banking industry wants to hang with us here.''
Years of expansion in the pork industry, with more huge hog confinement units being built, increased the number of hogs going to market in 1998 by about 10 percent. That, combined with plant closings that cut the nation's slaughter capacity by about 8 percent, sent hog prices plummeting to lows not seen in decades.
Hog prices fell from 55 cents a pound, or about $165 for a 300-pound hog, to as low as 8 cents a pound, or $24 for the same hog. They've rebounded some, with the same 300-pound hog today bringing $90 to $120.
Chuck Levitt, a livestock analyst for Alaron Trading Group in Chicago, said the glut of hogs going to market during the past year has built up ''a mountain'' of processed pork in cold storage. And, he said, depressed foreign markets continue to hold back exports, leaving a reduced domestic supply of fresh pork as the only way to clear out the meat in storage.
Earlier this year, farmers cut back the number of sows they keep for breeding. An Agriculture Department report said the number of sows farrowed from March through August should be down 7 percent from 1998 levels, cutting into the number of hogs going to market this year.
But Darrell Axtell, a commodity broker at Cedar Rapids-based Securities Corp. of Iowa, said the number of hogs going to market today is more than USDA had predicted in March, a troubling indication that hog production may not have been cut back as much as predicted.
''American agriculture does the best job anywhere in the world in producing grain, livestock, whatever it is,'' Axtell said. ''But somewhere along the line, I think we've gotten so busy with production that we've not been very good marketers. ... We have to match production to demand.''
Leo and Millie Huseman of Lafayette, Ind., said their ability to sell purebred pigs for show at livestock competitions has helped them weather the bad times. ''But if I had just a commercial herd, I would quit,'' said Huseman, who attended the Pork Expo.
The Husemans' life work is raising hogs and they can't afford to get out of the business. ''I've been doing this since I was a kid in 4-H,'' Leo Huseman said. ''It's what I've done all my life and I enjoy doing it. But you can't keep losing money and keep doing it.''

While the cool wet weather has been a welcome change from the blistering weeks earlier this month, it also create the perfect conditions for blue mold.
At this point in time blue mold have been documented in several south-central and western North Carolina counties, according to Halifax County Extension Director Larry McPeters.
"There hasn't been any blue mold here in Virginia, but this past week with the high humidity and cool, windy weather has been perfect for blue mold spore development," McPeters said. "That kind of environment is really good for the spread of blue mold, as the spores either come in on the wind or through transplants."
McPeters urges farmers to keep a close eye on their crops right now, not only for blue mold, but for horn worms and bud worms.
"Here in Virginia, we need to keep an eye out, particularly on fields nearing layby stage and on fields near woods where the air drainage is poor," he said. "If North Carolina has it, there is a good chance we'll get spots of it. I recommend that you monitor your fields about every other day for blue mold infestations."
If an outbreak is detected, McPeters said Acrobat has an 18-C emergency use label, which clears it for emergency use in Virginia. Ridomil, he stated, is no longer effective.
"But I don't suggest using Acrobat until you actually see evidence of blue mold," he said. "I don't want everyone to get excited and start spraying. Rather, wait until you see a problem starting and then knock it back."
But currently the biggest threat to the potentially excellent tobacco crop in Halifax County comes from horn worms and bud worms, which can do tremendous damage to a crop in just a few days, McPeters advised.
"If you see a few, you better spray. Don't wait for them to eat your crop up, because they're not just going to go away," McPeters cautioned.
While there are a number of products available to eradicate the horn worm, McPeters said a product called Tracer can take care of both pests, and is far less labor intensive than some other methods.
"Last year and before, about the only way to control bud worms was to take corn meal laced with Dipel and drop it in the bud when it was wet with dew and wait for the worm to eat the bud, and as you can imagine, that was very labor intensive," he explained. "Then last year they approved Tracer, which is a fungus from South America soil. It is a natural fungus of caterpillars and extremely safe. It's the safest thing we have besides Dipel. But this material will actually give very good control of bud worms as a spray and eliminates the high labor costs associated with Dipel and controls horn worms."
While the past weeks of dry, hot weather hurt some crops like corn and soybeans a little, it also caused the corn and tobacco to develop deep, strong root systems, McPeters said.
"The rest will be determined by how much rain get from here on out," he said.

BOSTON (AP) - Not a drop of rain has fallen this month on farmer Bob Connors' corn, forcing him to pour 5 million gallons of water a week on his fields in a 24-hour irrigation effort.
But the crop still shows withering as it enters a critical, late-June growing stage. The weather reports have refused to bring good news, so Connors has stopped watching them.
''It's kind of scary,'' he said Monday. ''We're talking about losing hundreds of thousands of dollars.''
The lack of rain promises problems for everyone, from Danver farmers like Connors to homeowners hoping for green lawns.
Some communities have already enacted mandatory or voluntary water bans. But meteorologists say it's too early to label the dry spell a drought - the summer's end could bring enough rain to counter the dryness.
This month Boston has had less than one-hundredth of an inch of rainfall, compared to normal precipitation of 2.10 inches from the beginning of the month through June 20. Among other New England cities, Portland, Maine, has had 0.17 inches, compared to a normal 2.32 inches; Providence, R.I., has seen a scant 0.015 inches, when it's used to getting 2.25 inches.
The lack of June rain follows an unusually arid April, tempered slightly by moderate May precipitation.
Bill Simpson, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Taunton, calls the recent weather pattern ''drought-like conditions,'' but said the dry weather would have to continue through the summer to be considered an actual drought.
Simpson said the region is caught in a transitional phase as temperatures in the Pacific raise to normal levels after the La Nina pattern. Storm systems are being directed around New England, and preventing the low pressure systems off the coast that bring rain.
But predictions call for a 30 to 40 percent increase in the number of tropical storm systems large enough to be named this year in the Atlantic, Simpson said. That doesn't necessarily mean more major storms in New England, but it could bring regional summer rainfall levels up, though they'll probably finish below normal.

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) - Cars washed into lakes by torrential rain waters. Stranded motorists perched atop their vehicles waiting for rescue. In West Texas?
What began as a good sign for the farming season has turned into a problem for farmers who say too much rain can be as damaging as too little. In many areas, annual rainfall already has doubled that of last year.
To date, Lubbock has received just under 13 inches of rain this year. Last year, during the drought, Lubbock had .94 inches during the same period. Normal rain to this point is 4.21 inches.
''The problem is that your crop has to dry out sometime,'' said Joe Richards, a cotton farmer near Slaton. ''If it didn't rain again for the rest of the year I'd be okay, but the crop needs to dry out or it's ruined.''
Even more troubling for farmers are predictions by forecasters that the rains will continue.
''We expect rain for at least a few more weeks and it's possible the pattern will hold up for a while,'' said Marty Mullen, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Lubbock. ''At the least it will probably rain for the next week.''
Texas Tech soil expert Cary Green said the heavy rains already are taking a toll on crops.
''Anytime the amount of rain you get exceeds what the soil can hold you're going to have problems,'' Green said. ''It begins carrying off top soil and, in extreme cases, it can even wash away plants.''

MIAMI (AP) - An attorney called cigarette makers deceitful and callous in his closing arguments in a landmark $200 billion lawsuit by smokers, leading tobacco company lawyers to demand a mistrial.
Stanley Rosenblatt represents up to half a million sick plaintiffs and their heirs in the first class-action lawsuit by smokers to reach trial.
''This is an industry which basically just has no shame,'' he said in court Monday. ''The only health the tobacco industry has ever been interested in is the health of their bottom line. They don't give a damn about the American people.''
Industry lawyers objected, but Rosenblatt shot back: ''They don't care a hoot about the health of the American people. They care about the health of what goes into their pockets.''
Benjamine Reid, who represents R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., called Rosenblatt's statements ''an attempt to inflame the jurors and have them reach a judgment based on passion.''
''We've had one day of argument, and in that day counsel has  mentioned the Holocaust, Rosa Parks and civil rights, whites-only water fountains in this courthouse, and Martin Luther King on three  occasions,'' complained Ed Moss, an attorney for Brown & Williamson  Tobacco Corp.
Most of the remaining jurors and alternates are black or Hispanic.
The industry lawyers moved for a mistrial; Circuit Judge Robert Kaye deferred ruling on their request.
The tobacco company lawyers were scheduled to begin their two days of closing arguments on Wednesday.
The plaintiffs say they were misled about just how dangerous  smoking really is and are seeking $200 billion in damages.
The defendants contend everybody knows smoking is risky, but there's no scientific proof the habit causes any illness.
The other defendants are Philip Morris Inc., Lorillard Tobacco Co. and Liggett Group Inc., as well as the Council for Tobacco Research and the Tobacco Institute.

PARIS (AP) - A local branch of France's national health insurance program has filed suit against four tobacco companies for $8.1 million, blaming them for smoking-related diseases.
The lawsuit against Philip Morris, Rothmans, Reynolds and the French giant Seita is a first in France, where smoking remains widely tolerated and socially acceptable.
Seita called the lawsuit ''groundless,'' saying in a statement it plans to claim damages for ''improper procedure.''
The suit against the tobacco manufacturers was filed last week in a court in the Atlantic coastal city of Saint-Nazaire by the regional branch of the Caisse Primaire d'Assurance Maladie.
The CPAM said it spends $3.7 million yearly on health care for smoking-related illnesses, including lung cancer.
A spokesman for the CPAM's legal department said the agency would also ask for $3.8 million in damages per year, as long as tobacco products do not offer proper warnings about health risks of smoking.

The South Boston/Halifax County YMCA will celebrate its 25th Anniversary with three days of food, fun and fellowship this weekend.
Softball, volleyball, lots and lots of food, games, a swim meet, community booths, raffles with great prizes, and games for children will be just some of the attractions highlighting the celebration.
The celebration of the local YMCA's 25th Anniversary of its incorporation in the state of Virginia will kick off Friday, June 25, with a 5 p.m. softball game and will continue through Sunday.
While the South Boston/Halifax County YMCA incorporated with Virginia back in June, 1974, it has actually been a strong presence in the community for nearly a century.
"Back in the beginning, the YMCA was usually located in a tall building equipped with a beacon to guide newcomers to its doors," said YMCA Executive Director Bill Harris. "Back then the purpose of the YMCA was to provide an area for people new to the community to come and get help finding food, shelter and employment."
Through the years, the YMCA evolved into any number of things, all of which were centered around the community and run by volunteers.
"The goal of our YMCA is to make a difference in human lives by fostering personal growth," said Harris, who is also celebrating his one-year anniversary as the local director of the YMCA. "Our mission is to put Christian principals like honesty, responsibility, and respect into practice through programs that build healthy body, mind and spirit in a safe atmosphere. As the YMCA mottos states, 'We build strong kids, strong families and strong communities.'"
Harris sees the growth of the local facility as a good example of just how the YMCA and the community work together to accomplish that end.
Just recently, Bret and Dorothy Berneche, owners of Cardinal Homes, donated a modular home to the YMCA, and the community banded together to get it in place.
"It's a perfect example of how the YMCA works for the community and the community works for the YMCA," Harris said. "We're going to call it the YMCA Cardinal Community Center. The Cardinal will represent not only Cardinal Homes, who donated it, but the cardinal efforts of the community."
This building will provide the YMCA with space it needs for conducting roll model/mentor instruction, teen programs, child care, educational programs, bridge games, and more.
The building will be open to the public to tour during the celebration this weekend.
Harris said the modular home use will be similar to the Altavista YMCA facility, which houses a day care.
"One of the reasons is they has a state recognized child care program, and this is what I think our community needs," Harris said. "This is a big step for us."
Harris believes the YMCA's growth, not only in facility size but membership, is plays a vital part in its ability to serve the community by providing funding to reach out and do things for the community. He was pleased to note that in just a year the membership has grown from 650 to 1,000.
"Our goal is to double that over the next year," Harris said. "And to do that we need to expand our facilities."
Work on the 5,600 square-foot expansion to the existing facility should begin within the next two weeks and span a four-month period, Harris added.
The added space will be used for aerobic dance classes, cardiovascular exercise classes, and a larger weight training room.
Highlighting the weekend activities will be a softball and volleyball tournament. The softball tournament begins Friday at 5 p.m., and the championship game will be played Sunday at 4 p.m.
A swim meet will begin Saturday at 10 a.m.
The popular cinnamon "Bun Man" will arrive Friday at 4 p.m., and he will be selling his delicious pastries until 10 p.m. that night. He will return the following day at 10 a.m. and stay open until 10 p.m. On Sunday, his stand will be open from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.
In addition to the "Bun Man" and his goodies, hot dogs, hamburgers, barbecue, chicken and softdrinks will also be offered for sale.
Several community organizations will set up booths for the event, and there will be raffle tickets sold for a 1999 Silverado pick-up truck and Greased Lightening Child's Racing Go-Cart. The go-cart drawing will be held Sunday at 5 p.m.
"Proceeds from this event, and the continued growth of our membership, will allow the YMCA to better serve the entire community by offering improved programs and services to our diverse population," Harris said. "We want to continue to focus our efforts on community needs and this event will help fund the start or Teen and Youth Fitness Programs, expand our Adult and Active Older Adult Programs, better support existing programs such as the YMCA Bridge Club. Our future growth will help us to focus on other community needs, such as Before and After School Child Care and programs for positive parenting, teen leadership, oral and written communication, and many other educational efforts needed in our community.
"The YMCA is an organization of volunteers. Here in South Boston and Halifax County, we are fortunate to have many dedicate community volunteers serving in many capacities at the YMCA, and these volunteers are the foundation of our continued success."

A visit to the Staunton River Battlefield State Park this weekend will provide a special pass back in time to the time of the Civil War.
Clover will come alive in another time Saturday when the cannons roar across the battlefields and Confederate encampment, and numerous special events and displays will keep visitors busy and interested all day.
Come early and witness the unveiling of the Randolph, Charlotte County Civil War Trails Marker Dedication and Roanoke Station Depot groundbreaking ceremony at 10 a.m.
The park now features new interpretive signs along the battlefield trail that explain the complete story of the battle. Visitors can stop at the six sites of the battlefield and stand where the combatants stood on that spring afternoon in 1864.
At 11 a.m., drop into the Clover Visitors Center and study a more complete story of the battle and its significance to the Confederacy and to the surrounding communities. At this time the Halifax County Civil War Trails Marker dedication will be held.
Tina Holt of Tailored Images of Midlothian will be on hand in the Visitors Center all day. She specializes in computerized reproduction and restoration of old and/or damaged photographs and will be giving demonstrations of her art. Visitors are invited to bring their own old photos for the demonstrations.
John Blackfeather, Chief of the Occaneechi Saponi Indian Tribe, will give primitive weapons and tool demonstrations after 11 a.m., and visitors are also invited to see the wide selection of homemade crafts.
At 11:30 the cannons will thunder and the muskets blast in the cannon firing earthworks and Confederate Encampment. If you miss this explosion, the cannons will fire again at 3 p.m.
Gather around the Civil War Monument at 3:30 p.m. to take part in a memorial service.
If you like guitar and banjo music, history and colorful storytelling, be sure not to miss Bob Zentz at 7 p.m. Zentz lives in the Norfolk area an has done an enormous amount of work tracing the history of the banjo all the way back to Africa, and through the Civil War. Bring lawn chairs and join in the singing with this talented folklorist, musician, and singer.
Throughout the day children will stay busy with a wide variety of activities, including the several morning races.
The sack, three-legged, hoop and wheelbarrow races begin at 10 a.m. and throughout the day the youngsters can bob for apples, play checkers, watch musket firing demonstrations, enlistment and training in the Confederate Encampment.
At 3 p.m., take time out to build and fly a kite or participate in other craft activities such as making Jacob's ladder corn husk dolls, pinwheels, animal prints, pinecone bird feeders and nature prints.
Refreshments including barbecue and lemonade will be available along with soft drinks and "Pure Country Spring Water" sold by Girls Scouts.
Tickets to this day-long event are $3 per person, $1 for children under 6 years old.

Spencer Hayden, potter, will be demonstrating with his pottery wheel at the Southern Heritage Festival June 26 at The Prizery. Formerly a jewelry artist, Hayden became interested in pottery and the Raku finishing process.
The technique was derived by a Korean/Japanese artist in the 1500's. It is considered a high temperature reaction process which produces a variety of colors and effects. Once the piece of pottery is fired it is then taken from the kiln and placed in a container filled with a material, which burns easily such as hay, sawdust or paper.
Once it is cooled it is then submerged in water and then cleaned. He particularly likes this process because it is quick, intimate and quite surprising at times.
Should a piece turn out as unwanted he is able to give it a new look by reapplying a different glaze or more of the original and send it through the process once again.
While visiting his studio one is quite intrigued by all the pots, vases, bowls, and large pieces of artwork displayed.
His pictorial design depicts a similarity to the work of Picasso and Mattisse by the use of nude figures. The crackle glaze which he uses provides the background and foreground which then allows the drawn figure to float within the boundary of the piece.
Each year since 1979, Hayden has participated in the Virginia Beach Boardwalk Art Show.
The annual event has been held for 44 years and only 350 applicants are selected each year from the usual 5,00-6,000 entries.
Noted as the largest art show of its type on the East Coast, artists from 40 states are represented. Currently,
Hayden is a teacher at the Longwood College Center for the Visual Arts and a member of the adjunct faculty of Longwood College.
The Community Arts Center is fortunate to offer the talent and skill of Spencer Hayden of Farmville, Virginia during the Southern Heritage Festival.
The event will be on June 26 in downtown South Boston at The Prizery and on Constitution Square 10:00-4:00. Ya'll come on down for some fun, food and fiddlin'.
