Rappahannock News, June 26, 1975

v ww" 27 /97«j Volume XXVI, Number 33 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, JUNE 26, 1975 FIFTEEN CENTS Washington plans a gala July 4th INDEPENDENCE DAY at Avon Hall, Washington, Va. will be celebrated for the fifteenth time this year around Avon Lake. Mr. and Mrs. William Carrigan have made possible throught the years a program and fireworks display. “This year, special references will be made to commemorate the painful struggle the 13 colonies had in 1775 to try to bring the mother country to understand that her loyal subjects could no longer bear the burdens placed upon them by the King,” said Mr. Carrigan. “A cordial invitation is extended to the people of Rap pahannock County to celebrate with us and our guests this great day— the most honored in American History.” The program will begin about 6 p.m. at Avon Lake. It will involve youngsters in competitive games, foot races, tug-o-war, and other contests with cash prizes given. The fire and rescue units will have a long distance pin-point fire fighting demonstration with a moving target. Several skits and readings appropriate to the Bicentennial will be given in addition to patriotic music, all of which will be carried through loudspeakers around the grounds. ANNE HQWE, singer in residence at Williamsburg, will be guest vocalist and Cynthia Warner will bring her famous Arabian stallion to perform. There will be a full evening of entertainment with “luminari” decorating the lake and hills. The special fireworks display will be at 9 p.m., supervised by Paul Miller of Flint Hill, and this year’s ending will hark back 200 years, when the first Fourth of July was celebrated with a bonfire. A large bonfire will be lighted by the lake. “Do you know that it was just 200 years ago today, June 26, that the Continental Congress appointed George Washington Com mander of the Militia of the 13 colonies?” said Mr. Carrigan. The courthouse hills and grounds along old Route 211 are reserved for area residents and guests for the program amd fireworks. The public is invited to come with families and bring their picnic supper, eat on the hillside, and enjoy the program. The Washington Fire Company and Rescue Squad will also have a food and drink booth near the courthouse. The Carrigans request everyone’s cooperation in keeping the grounds clean by putting trash in cans which will be placed around the area. ‘‘Last year,” Mr. Carrigan said, ‘‘it took two days to clean up the trash.”D gathering By PEKAY PETTUS “NOW., I don’t know if I ought to say it for the paper or not, but they tell me that if a man chews ginseng he can take care of his wife, his mistress and another woman, too!” Rappahannock ginseng hunter * Burnam Atkins looked a bit sheepish. He’d just disclosed that information to fellow ginseng hunter T. R. Baldwin. Baldwin looked almost embarrassed too, wondering if that was a proper subject for public knowledge. But then he grinned. He wasn’t surprised. “I’ve heard that all my life. My daddy said that it really perks you up.” Burnam Atkins said he’d never known about that special power of genseng until Rappahannock county extension agent Rapley Owings came back from the Korean War. “Rap was the first one to tell me that,” Atkins said. “He said that in Korea ginseng is so special they wouldn’t let just anybody have it. Just the higherups, the big shots. Rap said he saw it growing under bamboo.” T.R. Baldwin made it clear that ginseng has other uses, too. “It’s real good for a sore throat. Just chew on a little bit. They grind it up now and make it into pills and teas,” he said. While Koreans may have once been careful about who had access to the tuberous, fleshy ginseng root, ginseng is now mass marketed. That’s why Rappahannock ginseng hunters now receive $68 for each dried pound of ginseng. Most Rappahannock ginseng collectors, if they don’t keep the roots for themselves, sell them through T. R. Baldwin. Baldwin makes arrangements with his “broker” in New York who comes down to pick up the ginseng, once Baldwin has accumulated as much as $2,000 worth. The broker’s visit is overdue. Baldwin has 200 pounds of ginseng roots on drying racks in a tin shed behind his service station in Sperryville. “HE’S hooked up with someone overseas,” Baldwin said of his broker. “They gij-ind it up and put it in 100-pound bags here. Then they ship it overseas to package it, I think. The price jumped up from $55 a pound to $68 a pound just last Thursday,” Baldwin said. He talked to his broker since then. Some of the ginseng Baldwin has drying he collected himself. He hunts for wild ginseng through the mountains and grows some in a patch. But much of the ginseng he’s drying now was brought to him by other ginseng hunters, like Burnam Atkins or the “Cave Brothers” from Madison. Baldwin has been paying $15 a pound for green ginseng. That’s when it hasn’t been pulled up long and the root is still fleshy. Once it dries, it gets brittle and will break with a snap. It also “lightens up” and weighs less, he said. But he will take it green or dry. The broker is only interested in dry “’seng.” That takes about three weeks, Baldwin said. “It’s scattered wild all over these Blue Ridge Mountains,” Burnam Atkins said. “If you can find it, you can make good wages.” “Not as many people are lookSee Page 7 GINSENG PATCH—T.R. Baldwin, left, and Burnam Atkins, Rappahannock ginseng hunters and growers, inspect the growth of plants in Atkin’s ginseng patch. Ginseng roots now bring $68 a pound. (Pekay Pettus photo)

SARAH C LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Equal treatment PUBLIC service is undoubtedly more difficult in a small county than it is in a big teeming city. While the problems may be smaller—relatively— they are no less pressing, and the personal touch that it is possible to bring to almost every rural public decision can be both a blessing and a headache. It’s one thing to sit in lofty, impersonal and detached judgement on this or that problem in, say, administering a big city’s zoning laws, and it’s quite another for a rural planning commission member to have to deal with a similar problem on a face-toface basis, with all of the applicant’s aunts, uncles, cousins and friends looking over his shoulder. But as difficult as the job is, county planning commissions must be staffed, and zoning boards, and boards of supervisors, and all of the other public functions that are essential to an orderly community. And the rules and regulations entrusted to their care must be enforced with impartiality. IT IS undoubtedly extremely tempting to view all rural zoning problems as unique and distinctive and deserving of special consideration. But that approach doesn’t do much for the concept of zoning controls in general, and it is the broad responsibility that must be kept in sight at all times. Start making every case a “precedent,” as they say, and you don’t have a body of rules and regulations, you’ve got a law so riddled with loopholes that it is worthless, and the county is left more helpless than ever before the designs of speculators and get-rich-quick artists who don’t care a fig about Rappahannock’s past and present beauty, its heritage, or its future—except where they stanc to make a killing. Often, an impartial evenhanded treatment of each applicant appears unduly harsh, in the light of the special circumstances that accompany each request. But for the good of the county, this is the way the zoning and subdivision control ordinances must be applied. Handicapped children aid IN ACCORDANCE with State Department of Education regulations, information regarding tuition assistance for certain handicapped children is being made available to parents by the Warren and Rappahannock County Public Schools.

And three cheers for her mother! If there were more mothers with thimbled-finger at home today I believe that many discipline problems would disappear from the classroom. The article on Miss Dodson’s retirement pointed up so many changes in school and community life. Her philosophy of lifesharing knowledge and helpshould be a challenge to all. I thought it was fine reporting on the career of a dedicated teacher and a kind and loving human being.

Rappahannock ginsing gathering From Page 1 4f$r- ing for it as there used to be. The young people now don’t know what it is,” T. R. Baldwin said. “YOUNG people now are just too lazy to crawl over these rocks for it,” Burnam Atkins said. “In the hardest place to get to, that’s where you’ll find it.” Atkins said he’s never been too lazy. “I’ve foxhunted, deerhunted, coonhunted and ginseng hunted all over these mountains,” he said. “I started collecting ginseng when I was under 16 years old. Mr. Jim Estes used to buy all mine. That was back when it was 20C an ounce.” “It depends on the soil for it to grow. Just won’t grow in some places, but it’ll grow most everywhere in Rappahannock County,” T. R. Baldwin said. ‘‘I’ve never seen it grow in the sun. Always grows in the shade,” Atkins added. The plant grows to be about two feet tall, Baldwin said. It can be picked any time between June and the first frost. The roots are bigger and weigh more, hence are more valuable, later in the season. When ginseng leaves are still green, it can be mistaken for other wild plants. ‘‘Once I ate some poke stalk roots, thinking it was ginseng,” Burnam Atkins remembered. ‘‘Talk about making a man sick!” ‘‘But in the fall, there’s nothing that gets as pretty a yellow,” T. R. Baldwin said. ‘‘The leaves Rappahannock ginseng dealer T. R. Baldwin with some nlant rnnts ginseng get yellow as gold and the berries are red, just as red as can be.” “THE TOPS might die out for two to three years. You can dig up every stalk you see. Then go back next year, you’re liable to go out and find three times as much as you did before,” Burnam Atkins said. Baldwin agreed. Already this year, the Cave Brothers have brought him three loads—one of nine pounds, one of five pounds and one of seven pounds—from a patch where they only found five pounds all last year, he said. Cattle and deer graze the tops down. They just love the tops,” Burnam Atkins said. “Got to be good forage or they wouldn’t eat it,” T. R. Baldwin observed. “Sometimes you’ll find it growing on these flat rocks,” Atkins said. “Then it’s no trouble at all to pull it up. And they’re some good roots growing on the rocks too.” Baldwin said he usually carries a long screwdriver for ginseng hunting. He grabs the plant by the top and pries out the root. “I just take me a stick and sharpen the end,” Atkins said. “I can use that same stick to reach out and get the snakes.” He reached into his pocket and pulled out a rattlesnake rattle. “I was hunting ginseng the other day when I ran into this. I quit for the day, or 1 would have got more.” T. R. BALDWIN said his daddy used to use a file for ginseng hunting. “That’s what they used to use,” he said. His daddy, like a lot of the old timers, used to carry a hunk of ginseng in his pocket to pull out and chew, Baldwin said. Baldwin said his daddy also had a cultivated ginseng patch, “it covered more than an acre.” T. R. Baldwin has his own patch, up on the mountain, “but the weeds are over it so bad it wouldn’t make a good picture.” Burnam Atkins boarded off a small corner of his hog lot, under an apple tree, and planted ginseng three years ago. He’s pleased with how the patch is coming a long. “1 keep the weeds and the grass out. I don’t want them to take it. But I never water it.” He developed his patch with some seeds and some transplants. The biggest plant he’s got now was a transplant. ‘‘I run up on this plant when I was out fishing. I’d had a sack of beer and we’d finished the last beer, so I dug this up and put it in that damp sack [ where I’d had the beer. Carried it on home.” “My mother once found a single ginseng root that weighed more than three quarters of a pound,” Baldwin said. “A wild ginseng root.” He doesn’t know what she got for it, or if she even sold it. They used to not sell it much, used it for themselves. ATKINS regrets that he didn’t start a ginseng patch when he was a young man. “I could be a millionaire,” he said. “If you’re going to try to plant ginseng from seed, you should plant the seeds the same fall you get them. Don’t let them dry out,” Baldwin warned. “If they don’t come up the first year, don’t worry, sometimes they don’t come up until the second year. It’s funny stuff. I’ve been running through these mountains looking for it all my live,” Burnam Atkins said. T. R. Baldwin keeps an old newspaper article on the many uses of ginseng in his West End Shell Station at Sperryville. According to that article, the many benefits of ginseng range from “a performance enhancer,” making you calm but alert, to an antibiotic which “decreases blood pressure, helps ailments of the gall bladder, cures nervous frustration, stops vomiting, combats weakness after childbirth, brings an end to a hangover, and gives strength for tasks.” At least that’s what the article claims, Baldwin said.D AUXILIARY MEET Flint Hill Ladies Auxiliary will meet June 30 at 7:30 p.m. in the fire hall.

Amissville ‘precedent’ is avoided BY PEKAY PETTUS “WE’RE setting a precedent. In Amissville, the exception is becoming the rule,’’ planner Walter Masterson protested at the Rappahannock County Planning Commission’s meeting last Wednesday night. Masterson was against rezoning a tract of land belonging to Irva Poe of Amissville from agriculture to residential. Miss Poe had asked for the property to be designated residential so that she could divide a tract of land into two lots, one 1.7 acres and the other 1.73 acres. The area is now zoned as agricultural, and the minimum lot size is two acres. Pete Luke argued for the rezoning. “It’s surrounded with houses. The area is already more residential than agricultural in character. And this is in keeping with my thoughts to allow development around the existing communities, instead of out in open space,” Luke said. Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis said exceptions to the ordinance could only be made in the case of an “undue hardship,” as stipulated in the ordinance. Davis said this case, “is not any different from 100 other instances throughout the county.” Luke again said that Amissville is already a developed area, so the rezoning would conform to existing land use. He had made that same argument on an earlier Amissville rezoning request, that of Elmer Jenkins. Jenkins received approval in January from the planners and the Supervisors to rezone a tract from agriculture to commercial, so he could operate a service station. Masterson had voted against Jenkins request, making the same arguments he was making against the Poe request. AMISSVILLE Supervisor J. R. Latham agreed with Luke. “It’s not changing the character,” he said. Besides, this is a “family situation. It’s not a son or a daughter but a niece and nephew she wants to give the lots to,” Latham said. “We gotta have some growth, so let’s have it around the towns,” Luke said. “It’s gonna either be ROBINSON VISIT J. Kenneth Robinson, United States Representative from Virginia’s Seventh Congressional District will be at the Holiday Inn in Culpeper, Monday, June 30, from 12 - 2 p.m. The public is invited to come and hear Mr. Robinson speak.□ around the villages or in open space.” “You gotta amend the ordinance if you want to do that,” George Davis said. “You don’t zone by exception.” Pete Luke suggested a compromise. “The Board of Supervisors should write the Planning Commission and ask them to take steps to rezone the Amissville area from agriculture to residential-business,” he said. That didn’t suit the Planning Commissioners. “We’re not to take it upon ourselves to rezone all of Amissville,” Chairman Herbert Barksdale quickly said. “It’s got to come from them, the people of Amissville,” commissioner A.Y. Stokes added. Barksdale said he was sympathetic with George Davis’s earlier point—that it weakens theordinance to constantly be making exceptions. “But you’ve already make exceptions,” Latham said. “Just what I mean,” both Barksdale and Davis answered. LATHAN said he had been one who argued for smaller lot sizes around the villages in the first place. “What you want us to do— go out and bulldoze up farmland?” Walter Masterson again said he thought the rezoning would be a bad precedent. In fact, he added, he leaned more toward a five-acre lot size in agricultural areas than a two-acre lot. “When you have two-acre lots, you’re getting into sewers and roads.” A.Y. Stokes said he was opposed to the rezoning “in the same way Walter is.” He told Luke “I don’t disagree with a thing you said, it is already developed...” But to make an exception here will just make it harder to turn down future requests for exceptions, he thought. Stokes said it would be up to the people of Amissville to initiate an effort 1 « M- 'JTt PASTOR C. R.

Va. to rezone the entire area. “But who down in Amissville is going to take the bull by the horns?” Luke wondered. “Why couldn’t we approve this one with a proviso that we won’t approve any more?” Baumgardner asked. Masterson, Stokes, Barksdale and Davis just shook their heads. A precedent is just that, they said. “How’d you stop from doing the same thing at Massie’s Corner?” Barksdale wanted to know. “Exceptions are the only way we’ll let the little man live, the ordinances are so tight,” J. R. Latham said. “We’ve made exceptions in the past. This is just one case. There’ll be another.” Baumgardner addressed Supervisor Latham. “You don’t want a rezoning of the whole area?” he asked. “I wouldn’t suggest it,” Latham answered. “We make exceptions for people with 25 acres all the time,” he added. George Davis reminded everybody that exceptions can only be made for “undue hardship” and “peculiar topography.” EILEEN DAY asked “what is the width of the road? You’ve used that before to deny requests. Or will the Highway Department be called in on every application?” Pete Luke made a motion to rezone Poe’s tract to residentialbusiness. “What do you think that’s going to do?” Davis asked. “You’d still have a two-acre minimum lot size. You have to amend the ordinance if you want to decrease the lot size. And it’s not appropriate for the Supervisors and the Planning Commissioners to be the chief violators of the ordinance. That’s what this amounts to.” There was no second to Luke’s motion, so the planners didn’t vote. “I suggest we start looking toward steps to rezone Amissville area,” Luke said. “That’s up to Amissville,” A.Y. Stokes said. “But that leaves him (Poe, presumably) at the mercy of the public and not elected officials,” Luke said. “What you do will be illegal unless you amend the whole ordinance, across the county,” Davis said. “Then all these exceptions are illegal,” J.R. Latham said. “I daresay some of them have been,” Davis agreed. “I just don’t want to leave Miss Poe with the impression that nothing can be done,” Luke said. “Nobody voted. She has plenty of recourse,” Masterson said. BAUMGARDNER said he could request two houses on the same lot or a duplex. Both of these requests would have to go before the Board of Zoning Appeals. Looking at another matter, the planners considered Beaufort Edwards’s request to continue to live in his old house while he is building another on the same lot. “You want to comment on this?” Herbert Barksdale said to Latham. “Doesn’t look like I carry much weight,” Latham said. The Planning Commissioners decided the request doesn’t require any action on their part. It could be handled by the zoning administrator. □ Radw/haeK DEALER The World's Largest Electronics Dealer AT Culpeper Music Center 8 2 5-132 9 200 N.

CLIP OUT I RLEP powerline legal action begins THE STATE Corporation Commission in Richmond has been asked by attorneys for the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection to suspend execution of its order granting the Virginia Electric Power Company and Potomac Edison the right to construct a new 500 k.v. powerline pending RLEP’s appeal to the state Supreme Court. The attorneys, John F. Kay and Angus H. Macaulay, of the firm of Mays, Valentine, Davenport & Moore, at the same time filed their notice of appeal of the SCC decision. In the event the SCC refuses to instruct the two utilities to hold up all action on the proposed powerline pending the outcome of the appeal," the state’s high tribunal was requested to do so by the RLEP counsel. They cited four bi;oad grounds for “assignment of errors’’ in their appeal of the SCC decision favoring the utilities, which will be developed further when the attorneys file their actual appeal. These developments were reported to a .meeting on the RLEP’s new Emergency Action Committee on June 15, at the home of Witold Kuncewicz near Flint Hill. On this past Monday, June 23, counsel for RLEP met with affected landowners and other interested residents of the county at the Flint Hill Fire Hall. The meeting was well attended. THE RLEP is an intervenor in the landmark case, along with the Warren County League and Frederick' County ' League. Fauquier County as litigant seeking to block the powerline also has filed notice of appeal to the Supreme Court. Fauquier’s Supervisors have allocated $10,000 so that the county’s- commonwealth’s attorney and special attorney can appeal the SCC decision.In their notice of appeal to the high court, Kay and Macaulay listed the following alleged errors by the SCC: 1. The finding that the construction of the proposed facilities by the utilities is necessary to serve the public convenience and necessity. . 2. The finding that the routes proposed by the utilities would reasonably minimize adverse impact on the scenic and environmental assets of the areas concerned. 3. The finding that the existing rights-of-way cannot adequately serve the needs of the two utilities. 4. The failure of the SCC to require Technical Associates, Inc., consultants employed by the commission staff, to study the transmission line route from Mt. Storm to Doubs to Loudoun, as proposed by the intervenors. In their motion to the SCC asking for suspension of its order pending appeal, the RLEP attorneys declared that Vepco has refused their request “that it give written assurance to intervenors that no construction of the facilities involved in these cases would occur until the appeals had been concluded.” THEY pointed out that if the utilities should proceed with construction and the Supreme Court reversed or modified the SCC order, it is probable that some or all of the constructed facilities would have to be removed, which, they said further, would be “both extremely expensive and wasteful from the standpoint of both the stockholders and the customers of the applicants.” In addition, they said, such construction and subsequent removal of the new facilities “would result in unnecessary, irreparable and extensive damage to the environment in the vicinity of any such construction.” A fund-raising drive to finance the appeal and pay a back debt to the RLEP was authorized at the meeting of the Emergency Action Committee. So far, RLEP has spent about $48,000 on the case. Approximately $8,500 more is needed to pay the remainder owed the attorneys and to fundanappeal. Contributions should be sent to RLEP president Phil Irwin, Flint Hill. Pat Saltonstall, Wit Kuncewicz and Ed Harris are co-chairman of the new Emergency Action Committee, authorized by an open membership meeting of the RLEP recently. □ FAUQUIER LIVESTOCK EXCHANGE, INC.
