Rappahannock News, May 1, 1975

c VA. C-T.VfE 1.12.R ARY RICHMOND 19, VA. 23219 Town of Washington is ‘designated’ THE TOWN of Washington, the county seat of Rappahannock County, has been designated as a historic district by the Virginia Historic Landmarks Commission. Washington, at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains, is officially described as “a well-preserved nineteenth century courthouse town with a fine collection of public, commercial and domestic architecture typical of the region.” Its significance stretches beyond the founding of Rappahannock County, in 1833, to the town’s platting by the young surveyor, George Washington, in 1749._ _ Washington’s original plat, lay Rappahannock girl dies A 14 year old girl from Rappahannock County cued and another was seriously injured from burns suffered during a house fire Saturday night at Lincoln, in Loudoun County. Annette Elizabeth Hutchinson of Washington died of burns and her classmate, Lois Ann Grigsby of Sperryville, and step - mother Laura Hutchinson are in critical condition in the Washington, D.C. Burn Center. According to a member of the Hutchinson family, Mrs. Hutchinson and Lois Ann Grigsby have second and third degree burns over 25 to 30 per cent of their bodies. George L. Hutchinson, Annette’s father, is hospitalized with severe burns in Loudoun Memorial Hos pital, but may be released by tne weekend. Two of Hutchinson’s children, Dianne, 12, and Paul, 4, were *released from the hospital in Leesburg on Tuesday, after treatment for minor burns and smoke inhalation. Fifteen year old Robert Hutchinson was visiting his grandparents in Vermont during the weekend and escaped the tragedy. The Hutchinson family was spending the night in Lincoln with Mr. and Mrs. James 0. Powell. Their daughter, Annette Powell, also died in the fire, which apparantly resulted from pouring gasoline in an oil stove. Mrs. Powell and several of her children were also critically injured. The Hutchinsons moved to Virginia in 1972 when George Hutchinson became employed with the Metro construction in Washington, D.C. Powell also worked there. The Hutchinsons lived near Amissville prior to moving to Harris Hollow near Washington. Lois Ann Grigsby is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Grigsby of Sperryville. She will be hospitalized for a long time ing the town off in a grid pattern with 51 half-acre lots, survives. “To a remarkable extent, the present layout of the town conforms to that of the original surveyor’s scheme.” In 1796, the town was organized by the General Assembly and its name was changed to Washington. When Rappahannock County was set off from Culpeper, Washington was made the county seat. The first session of court, in October 1833, was held at the present Washington House, then known as Coxes Hotel. At that meeting, it was ordered that a clerk’s office, courthouse and jail and friends have initiated a Lois Ann Grigsby hospital fund. Anyone wishing to make a contribution may send checks payable to Charlie Grigsby, Rt. 1, Box 293, Sperryville, Va.D be built, “constructed of brick instead of stone.” The bell installed in the courthouse in 1834 is still in use. THE COURTHOUSE, along with Trinity Episcopal Church and the Presbyterian Church, are among the architecturally significant nineteenth century buildings in the town, and were built by James Leake Powers, reputed to have been one of Jefferson’s workmen at the University of Virginia. Plays scheduled THE SENIOR Class of Rappahannock County High School will present three one-act plays on Thursday, May 8 and Friday, May 9. Curtain time is 7:30 p.m. at the high school auditorium.

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington €75-3349 ‘Spruce up’ Virginia “WE ARE blessed with one of America’s most beautiful landscapes, and I would like us to make a special effort to celebrate the nation’s birthday by renewing the inherited natural beauty of our Commonwealth.” Governor Mills Godwin made this statement in launching a statewide program to “spruce up Virginia” as a Bicentennial effort. It’ll embrace a number of projects, apparently mostly of the anti- littering variety, and as far as it goes it’s a lau dable effort. But it doesn’t go far enough. Doesn’t Governor Godwin realize that some of the things most closely associated with his two administrations are calculated to do far more to sully Virginia’s beautiful landscape than any amount of discarded beer cans and hamburger wrappings? We’re talking mainly about all that industry Governor Godwin has said he wants dotted over the Virginia landscape, and all those highways he wants built. Doesn’t he see that industry, no matter how “R&D clean” (the only kind of industry anyone wants anymore) is not always compatible with a historically beautiful landscape of tidewater flats, rolling Piedmont, lofting mountains and lush valleys? And high speed highways and all of the sub divisions and shopping centers they bring can devastate a landscape more quickly than a legion of littering motorists or careless campers. IN ENDORSING and pledging support to the Governor’s program, the executive director of the Keep Virginia Beautiful organization took the occasion to wax enthusiastic about “recycling and resource recovery for waste materials, an effort which he describes as one “which has enormous potential in this era when we all must share a mutual concern for conservation and environmental enhancement.” And so it does. But once again, a state government which wants to dam up beautiful rivers—for industrial expansion— and which seems determined to do everything it can to promote offshore oil exploration, even at the expense of a historically strong fishing industry (which leaves the environment alone, by and large), makes us wonder about what sort of conservation effort is really being talked about. “Spruce up” Virginia’s beautiful landscape, by all means. And at the same time, don’t pollute it with excessive “development” and highways.D Summer job reminder STUDENTS and other people who plan to get a summer job should apply now for a social security number if they don’t have one, according to Philip E. Bettendorf, social security district manager in Winchester. “You should apply for your number several weeks before you need it for a job covered by social security,” Bettendorf said. “Applications must be screened against central files in Baltimore to make sure that a second number isn’t issued to that same person. Screening generally takes several weeks.” More than nine out of ten jobs are covered by social security. People applying for a social security number for the first time may be asked to prove their age, identity, and citizenship. “Your social security number is yours alone and remains the same for life,” Bettendorf said. “A worker builds retirement, disability, survivors, and Medicare protection by work and earnings credited to his social security number. So when you get a job covered by social security, be sure your employer copies your name and number correctly from your social security to his records.” PEOPLE. can get information about applying for a social security number by calling, writing, or visiting any social security office. The Winchester social security office is at 20 South Cameron Street. The phone number is 6671511.□ “Close-ups’* An aspirin tablet pictured was correctly identified by a number of readers including Mrs. Edward Clark of Washington, Va. who will receive a free year’s subscription to the Rappahannock News.

Rec Center report is given THE EXECUTIVE Committee of the Rappahannock County Recreation Center Association met Friday, April 25, to hear a report by President T. Granville Eastham of progress to date on the Rec Center. Eastham stated that a local firm has been engaged to draw plans and specifications for an outdoor pavillion with sanitary facilities and a storage room to be constructed on the Rec Center site on U.S. 211 near Washington, Va. Bids for construction of the pavillion and a septic drainfield will be advertised in May. Bids for constructing a play court and horseshoe pits will be advertised in June. A preliminary agreement has already been signed to provide electric service to the site and a 30 foot service road will be graded and gravelled in the near future. Eastham also reported that the two new wells on the property will provide sufficient water to meet expected needs for drinking and sanitary purposes, and also for future use when a swimming pool is built. Ten picnic tables have been purchased and will be installed as soon as sites are prepared. Meanwhile, work is under way toward clearing walking trails which have been laid out throughout the site. THE treasurer’s report revealed that more than $9,000 has been collected locally from donations, youth membership fees, and profits from the July 4th Flea Market, two plays sponsored by the Rappahannock Education Association, and the Sperryville supper. Expenses to date have totalled nearly $4,300, including costs of drilling two wells, insurance, play scripts, flea market advertising, fund drive envelopes, and a stereo set purchased for the youth organization. Cash on hand as of April 25, 1975, was $4,782.10. Also available for Rec Center construction purposes is a drawing fund totallling $15,000, being made available in a grant from State Urban Assistance funds. The Executive Committee voted to establish a “Thousand Dollar Club” permitting donors of $1,000 or more to dedicate a piece of equipment or erect a plaque in their name on the Rec Center grounds. There are already two such donors, and a third large donation is expected from a county service club shortly. □ SPRING THING The Amissville United Methodist Church will feature a “Spring Thing” at the church on Sunday, May 4 at 7:30 p.m. This will consist of different groups and choirs. Turkey, trout seasons open Saturday April 12, marked the opening of Spring turkey season. Ten turkeys have already been checked in the county. With two gobblers to his credit, Elwood Welch of Flint Hill has been the most successful hunter to date. The season closes on May 10. High water after stocking has made trout fishing more challenging this year. Several fishermen checked had good catches despite the adverse conditions. The season will be closed May 12-16 for restocking and will reopen on May 17. Spring gobblers, trout, and apple blossoms are harbingers of warmer days. Unfortunately, the number of litterbugs and the damage done by their carelessness seem to rise with the temperature. Remember, littering is a violation of the law. Enjoy the outdoors but leave the area cleaner than you found it.D

T H E L I T T L E F 0 X Who controls the new bureaucracies? THERE used to be only state and federal bureaucratic “red tape” for local officials to complain about. So the state and federal governments have “decentralized,” breeding even more bureaucrats under the guise of “regionalism.” Local officials on the Rappahannock- Rapidan Planning District Commission—which includes Fauquier, Rappahannock, Culpeper, Orange and Madison Counties— are supposed to govern one of the new regional bureaucracies. But they are finding that they really have no control. The Planning District Commissioners ran into such an issue at their April 24 meeting in Culpeper. The Commissioners were asked to give their backing to a proposed regional Agency on Aging. This agency would hire a full-time director to help obtain and “funnel” state and federal grants for senior citizen services. The agency would cover the same five counties as the Planning District. The agency would have to be established by each one of the county Boards'of Supervisors. The agency would be a private non-profit corporation, but its Board of Directors would be appointed by county governments. It would be funded by minimal dues from each county in addition to a three-year federal grant. THIS IS what bothered the Planning District Commissioners, especially Fauquier Supervisor John B. Adams. The agency scheme sounded like another one of those “seed money” plans where the federal government would give the funds to set it up, while local governments get “stuck” with the funding for years to come. Tom Helsel, the Planning District’s Human Resource Planner, doubted that local governments would get “stuck” with much financial support in the future. The federal government would fund the project “forever,” said Helsel, but the current proposed grant would only be for three years. Helsel said it was not likely for Congress to end “aging funding” in the future. But if the Planning District Commissioners had any ideas of not supporting the Aging Agency plan, Helsel wanted to change that. First, Helsel was hired by the Planning District Commission last year as part of a: , grant to make an “aging plan” for the region. When the HUNTLY NEWS Mr. and Mrs. Robert Rutherford and Lori have purchased and moved into the old Scott William’s property on Route 522 and the former occupants, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Mahoney and family, have moved to the Roland Welch place. Mrs. Laura Fidler, Frances Andrews, Mrs. Kate Scott and George Partlowe were in Warrenton Sunday visiting Mr. and Mrs. George Elkins. Mrs. Lawrence Chadwellis conBIRTHDAY PARTY Mr. and Mrs. Reid Payne of Washington entertained at a birthday party Friday for their daughter, Tammy Fritts. Guests included Timmy Brunk of Manassas, Vickie and Patsy Smoot of Sperryville, Pam Clater, Patty Payne, Liz Grigsby, Pam, Cheryl and Richie Woodward, Jackie Estes, Sheila and Wayne Fritts, Mrs. Luther Payne and Mrs. Randolph Clater, all of Washington.C BAKE SALE The Washington United Methodist Church will hold a bake sale at the Country Store, Washington, Saturday, May 3 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.D valescing at home following surgery and five days in Warren Memorial Hospital. . Miss Lelia North continues in the Winchester Memorial Hospital where she is reported doing satisfactorily^ Emmett Starks works with a recorder and earphones in one of the learning centers on display at the open house Monday at RCES. Planning District Commission received the grant they were required to accept the aging plan when it was completed. The proposed Aging Agency is the culmination of the plan, explained Helsel. So the Planning District Commissioners have to support the agency plan. THERE WAS another catch. A number of projects in the district are already receiving federal aging funds. The Fauquier Community Action Program Senior Citizen Transporation Program and lunch program receive such federal funding. Helsel said that if the Aging Agency is not established the federal government will cut off funding to these popular programs. If that happens the County Supervisors will probably be asked to fund these programs themselves, argued Helsel. Helsel also wanted to discount any possible feelings among the Planning District Commissioners that he was pushing for the Aging Agency because he wanted the job as director. Helsel said he has plans of going back to college, and hoped the agency directorship! could go to some retired person, not a young man. AFTER Helsel’s explanation of the facts of federal funding, the Planning District Commissioners unanimously supported the creation of the Aging Agency. Now each of the five Boards of Supervisors and the Town Council of Warrenton (the town of Culpeper has declined to join the Planning District) will be asked to establish the Aging Agency. When three jurisdictions do so, the agency will be set up. Helsel’s arguments for the establishment of the Aging Agency were similar to the points made when local governments were asked to join the Planning Districts. Local governments were told that if they did not join the regional bureaucracy, federal and state funding would be cut off. However, this has not always been true.— Mark Helmke PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE OF FILING PETITIONS AND DATE OF ELECTION OF SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT DIRECTORS An election of Directors for the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District will be held in the general election on November 4, 1975.

MOODY AYLOR An all-round Rappahannock horseman Moody Aylor runs a full service horse operation in Rappahannock County. The sign doesn’t even mention riding lessons, horse shoeing or the tack shop. BY PEKAY PETTUS MOODY AYLOR’S dream, when he was a young boy growing up on the Fletcher farm in Rappahannock County, was to run a “full service” horse operation. “I still hope to get things arranged so that anything in the horse line people either want or need, we can provide it,” he says. But according to Moody Aylor’s friends and customers, and there are many, he couldn’t have arranged things much better. At Old Mill Stables, just east of Sperryville, Moody Aylor trains, boards, breaks, shoes and sells hunters and race horses, gives riding lessons and runs a tack shop. All that is on the sign at the gate to Old Mill Stables. What the sign doesn’t say is that this is a family business, so if Moody isn’t there to wait on a customer, a younger Aylor will be. Sixteen-year-old Pete Aylor rode in his first flat race, atTimonium, Md., last fall and won it, aboard Jim Bill Fletcher’s Apriori—trained by Moody Aylor, of course. Pete has ridden Aylortrained horses in the Virginia Point to Point circuit for several years. His younger sister Janice, called “Smokey,” rode in pair races this past season. Both youngsters help their father with all Pete Aylor tends to chores at Old Mill Stables. aspects of work at Old Mill Stables. “Yeah, we try to do a little bit of most everything concerning horses, ” Moody said in his soft, slow voice. And on a Saturday at Old Mill Stables, there was a little bit of everything going on. Pete and Smokey Aylor were schooling the horses they planned to show the next day. Three little girls with long blond braids trailing from under their hunt caps were trotting about on ponies. Four adults, whom Moody calls his “star pupils,” were putting on a hastily arranged jumping show, which none of them wanted to do, but since Moody wanted it (for the “press”) they agreed. A pregnant lady, who admitted that riding Western seat is against “doctor’s orders,” was giving instruction in barrel racing. A couple of teenagers were just riding around, with no particular direction, taking whatever jump happened to be in front of them. A very small boy aboard a tiny paint pony was leaping over low jumps. And the fence was lined with an assortment of spectators, some clad in blue jeans and others attired in what might be New York chic. “OH, THIS is nothing,” Avery Faulkner, one of Moody’s customers said. “You should be here around seven o’clock in the morning during hunting season.” “Yeah, we’re pretty busy during hunting,” Moody agreed. “We usually get about six or seven horses, and riders too, ready to hunt with Rappahannock. And I get Pete to take another five or six horses over to hunt with Warrenton. It’s crazy some mornings; crazy,” Moody said. “But it all gets done without a hitch,” Faulk* ner added. Old Mill Stables is a handsome collection of barns and sheds, including an old mill on the Thornton River, all painted a deep brown and trimmed in white. The whole complex straddles a sharp curve in old Route 522, not far from the Fletcher farm where Moody Aylor grew up. Moody Aylor got his chance to run Old Mill Stables in 1969. “Before that I used to go ‘round and break a few colts, shoe some horses, but I never had any regular business. I was working for Mr. Fletcher. Then Mr. Lane took notice of Mr. Fletcher’s horses. We always had ’em looking pretty nice and had ’em more fit that a lot of other peoples.” “MR. LANE had always Wanted to own a stable, so he asked me if I’d be interested. I jumped at the chance. Then he bought the Old Mill and let me be in charge. It took some time for me to get things built up, I didn’t have the money at first. I’m still working at getting things arranged. “I was born in a house of Mr. Fletcher’s. I learned to ride on work horses being led to the fields —big things, about four or five feet wide across the back,” Moody Aylor grinned and stretched his arms to show how wide. “I did the same thing with Pete. Put him on the back of a horse as lied him from one paddock to the other. Pete was jumping three foot fences when he was four and a half. Hunted with Piedmont when he was five. When Mr. Fletcher was going around to visit a hunt I’d take along a horse for me and a horse for Pete.” MOODY AYLOR always wanted to be a jockey. “At sixteen I was riding in races, won my first race, at the Reva fair. Then I rode that same horse in the Culpeper Fair on July 4 and he bowed a tendon. After that my height and weight caught up with me, like it’s gonna do with Pete. I told him he’s got to get his education, can’t count on riding race horses. “I don’t know what I like best about working with horses. I like the racing, the showing, I like to shoe horses and I love the fox hunting.” According to many of Moody’s customers, his real tal ent is teaching. “The hardest thing about teaching riding is getting people to get enough confidence in themselves. As long as you have that tension, you can’t respond. You’ve got to be more relaxed. And you’ve got to ride a lot, but keep it slow and easy. “You got to be sure the person who’s learning is able to do what they’re asked. If something happens, they fall off or something, it might take two or three weeks, maybe a month, before I’ll ask them to do that again. But you’ve got to know the person. Some can fall off, laugh, and get right back. But you got to be careful, and let them develop that confidence.’’ IT HAS taken Moody some time to build up a stable of hunters to rent. “A hunter has got to be good, The old mill on the Thornton River, part of the handsome complex of barns and outbuildings at Moody Aylor’s Old Mill Stables. solid, safe horse, if you can ever say any horse is safe. You got '“no be sure he’ll take care of whoever is on his back. And that kind of horse doesn’t come from just cracking your finger. When I get a new horse, usually I work with them a while, Smokey and Pete help, me, before they’re ready to rent.” Moody wanted ‘‘four of the students we’re most proud of” to be in any pictures taken at Old Mill Stables. The four students—Avery Faulker, Vivian Marsh, Ramona Riddell and Ned Conquest—had only ridden a little bit if at all, and had never jumped, until they started coming to Old Mill Stables for lessons last August. “But we had every one of them out hunting last winter. They’d all thought they wouldn’t hunt for a couple of years, especially not with Rappahannock.” In case a listener isn’t duly impressed with his students’ achievement, Moody makes it clear that they weren’t just “hilltopping.” They were taking every fence everybody else jumped. And Rappahannock terrain is not easy hunting, Moody said. “Sometimes you come galloping down Turkey Mountain or some other mountainside and you got to take a fence at the bottom. “A lot of people come here and try to ride ‘by the book.’ I try to tell ’em but they won’t listen. Soon they find out, you can’t always ride that ‘lean forward’ theory in Rappahannock.” MOODY asked his four star pupils to demonstrate their jumping skills. Vivian Marsh’s horse ran out a couple of times. “Let me have him. I’ll take him over first,” Moody said, as she climbed down. Moody jumped on, circled and headed at a canter into the fence. The horse went forward, Moody went over, the horse jerked back, and Moody, who’d landed on his feet, hopped back over the jump.and caught up with the horse. Moody had never lost the reins, but the bit had left the horse’s mouth. “Oh, that would have to happen on this day. All these people watching and taking pictures!” he Moody Aylor watches while Vivian Marsh, one of his students, takes a jump. Moody Aylor and four of “the students we’re most proud of.” None of them had ridden until they started taking lessons from Moody Aylor last August and they all hunted with Rappahannock last winter, “taking every fence anybody else jumped,” Moody said. said, embarrassed and making a sheepish face as he worked the bit back into the horse’s mouth. Smokey Aylor, left, and her brother Pete help their father with whatever needs to be done at Old Mill Stables. But all those people were ready to believe he’d done it on purpose. “Just like Moody. He’s such a gentleman. He would do something like that, to make the student feel better,” somebody thought out loud. Others nodded in agreement. “See what I mean about Moody’s teaching?” Vivian Marsh said. “He knew that was going to happen, so he told me to get off so it would happen to him.’’Moody said nothing, but he was smiling as he settled his straw cowboy hat back atop his head. MOODY AYLOR says an interest in horses can’t be forced. He doesn’t expect everybody to take to it quite like him and Pete. Smokey joined the girl’s track team at Rappahannock High School this year and her father didn’t try to dissuade her. “We’re real proud of Smokey. She got two seconds, in the mile and in the 440. But she couldn’t spend as much time with the horses and do that running too.” Aylor’s younger doughter Kim, 10, started riding last summer. “She’s doing real well. But I don’t think she’ll ever like it as much as the others. But they all do their share.” Moody Aylor’s real name is William. He doesn’t know how he wound up with the nickname “Moody.” “I don’t know whether I’m like that or not,” he says.D Moody Aylor, the manager of Old Mill Stables in Rappahannock County.
