Rappahannock News, October 9, 1975

c YA* STATE LIBSART Volume XXVI, Number 48 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1975 FIFTEEN CENTS Building inspections not authorized RAPPAHANNOCK’S Supervisors stood firm at their meeting October 2 in opposition to chairman Pete Luke’s suggestion that the county building inspector be authorized to do his job. “I think we’re telling the people of Rappahannock enough already,” Clarence Baldwin said. “If someone’s willing to tie up $50,000 with a contractor that won’t do the job right, it’s their own fault. They should have checked up on him before,” Baldwin said. Pete Luke said he wasn’t as worried about local people as the “people from away from here” who build in Rappahannock. Some have really been “taken” by contractors who did “shoddy” work, he said. H. B. Wood didn’t think it was up to the county to protect them. “If they know we haven’t got it (building inspection) they can select some other place that does,” he thought. ‘‘I don’t see how a person gets a loin or insurance, without inspection,” Luke said. “That’s their problem, not ours,” Herbert Barksdale said. The whole issue is just a matter of giving the building inspector the power to do his job, Luke said. The inspector, Fanning Baumgardner, who also serves as county engineer, was appointed nearly a year ago. H. B. Wood said something tibout resenting the state’s requirement that Rappahannock had to appoint a building inspector. “We’ve already got one,” Luke said. “But he hasn’t got any powers,” H. B. Wood said, and added that he wanted to leave it that way. Captain’s Den is the name of the log cabin owned by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Johnson and located near Sperryville. It will be open for the historic house tour on Saturday and Sunday, October 18 and 19. In contrast is the Mill Cabin on the property of Capt. and Mrs. George Sharp. “We don’t want to be protected from ourselves.” GEORGE DAVIS, Commonwealth’s Attorney, mused that soon “they’ll be telling you to hire an inspector before you can buy an automobile.” H. B. Wood was anxious to get the matter settled. He made a motion that the building inspector not be authorized to inspect buildings. “You don’t need any motion at all if you don’t want him to do anything,” George Davis said. Then Pete Luke made a motion authorizing the building inspector to inspect, and for his time and services to be covered by a small fee. Luke voted yes. But Herbert Foster, Dick Latham, Clarence Baldwin and H. B. Wood all voted no. Luke feared t)iis would mean the Attorney General’s office would see Rappahannock as circumventing the requirements of the state law. Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis said the state statute requires that a building inspector be appointed, “but there is no provision for recourse if you don’t.” LUKE, a bit disgruntled by the opposition, thought the Supervisors’ action would reduce the chances of Rappahannock’s eligibility for the federal flood insurance program, but Keith Martin, a representative from the Department of Housing and Urban De velopment, who was on hand to explain the flood insurance program, said he thought not. Rappahannock’s zoning ordinance was specific enough concerning flood plains and prohibiting construction in those areas. That would serve the requirements of the program as well as a building inspector, who would be enforcing a building code which prohibited construction in the flood plain. Martin said the flood insurance program would cost the county nothing. But by adopting it, they would make flood insurance available through local agents for people who chose to buy it. The program is subsidized by the federal government, although it’s sold through local insurance agents. “Every two or three years after floods, houses are rebuilt that See Page 9 Photo exhibit A photography exhibit of special interest to local people will be a showing of photographs of Tim Kilby at Washington Country Store from October 11 through October 19. Kilby of Sperryville, now a teacher in Alexandria, has taken pictures in many foreign countries as well as the United States but he says he still believes Rappahannock scenery is his favorite place. The showing will include a variety of subjects. Space has been provided by the Store as a public service. □ Houses feature old building materials TWO OF THE HOUSES open for tour October 18 and 19 frature building materials that were available and inexpensive for the early Rappahannock settlers and have proved durable through the years. The “Mill House,” located on Mountain Green Farm near Washington, has a basement kitchen and massive chimney made of native fieldstone and a first floor level made from hand-hewn chestnut logs. Present occupants Steve and Margie Righter are restoring the 150-year-old house. They have retained the exposed beams, wide broom-buffed floor boards and wood stoves for heat. As always, the loft provides sleeping quarters for the children. “Captains Den” in Old Hollow near Sperryville is owned by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Johnson. Although built in the early twentieth century, this house is also made of native materials. The exterior is made of hawn-hewn chestnut logs from the “ghost forest” of the Shenandoah National Park. The houses will be open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, October 18, and 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday, October 19. A special feature on Sunday will be basket making, demonstrated by Mrs. Cody Cook of Luray, using only an ax and a knife. The house tour is sponsored by the Rappahannock Historical Society in conjunction with the annual dried flower show of the Trinity Episcoal Church.

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Caveat emptor THE Rappahannock Supervisors have touched on an interesting question in regard to their reluctance to give a state-mandated building inspector actual power to inspect, and charge fees. The question: Just how far should government, at any level, go in protecting individuals. Not protecting individual legal rights or prerogatives, mind you; no one is arguing that— government doesn’t have that responsibility. But how far should government go in protecting individuals in the marketplace. We’ve all heard of unscrupulous business practices, and a lot of us have even had unhappy experiences with shoddy materials, trickily worded contracts and guarantees, or dishonest workmen. To the extent that criminal fraud is involved, there seems to be little question that government has a role toplayinpro■» tecting citizens. But does that responsibility extend so far as trying to see to it that a person who buys a house, costing many thousands of dollars, is not left with something that has a flooding basement, a leaky roof, insufficient insulation or dangerous wiring. Where does the responsibility for protecting the public’s health, safety and general welfare stop, and where does the old marketplace slogan caveat emptor—or buyer beware—begin? THE ANSWERS are not always as clear as some people pretend, either on the level of local government, or at the plane of federal consumer protection legislation. No wonder there is equal doubt in a rural county such as Rappahannock. Maybe the way to answer the question—at least out here in the country—is the way that a majority of the Supervisors chose. When in doubt about adding to the bureaucracy, either numerically or in delegated authority—then don’t! Leaves nearing peak PARK Rangers patrolling all sections of the Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park indicate that many of the fall leaves will reach their peak of color by this weekend. Only the elms have just begun their change. The greatest advance in hues may be noticed in the north section of the Park between Front Royal and Thornton Gap (U. S.211), with the most colorful area being near Uickey Ridge (Mile 4.6). A 35-40% change in color is noticeable now at Big Meadows and bv this weekend, it is estimated that the color will have changed as much as 80%. In the south section of the Park, it is felt that a 70% change will have taken place by this weekend. ALL VISTAS are showing color and provide beautiful contrasts with the remaining green foliage.

I am happy to see that Mr. Harris is supporting Senator Aldhizer for re-election. It appears that my goal, which was to clear up any questions that arose in your readers’ minds as to the propriety of Senator Aldhizer’s representation of Vepco, has been realized, and I therefore see no need to discuss that matter further. Regarding the alleged “flagrant distortions” that Mr. Harris attributes to my first letter, I shall let your readers be the judge of the validity of my comments. I would, however, like to apologize to Mr. Harris for anything in my letter that appeared to question his credentials as a dedicated environmentalist. In turn, I feel confident that Mr. Harris will agree, as have even the most fervent opponents of Virginia’s political leadership over the years, that one of this Commonwealth’s greatest assets is the integrity of its public officials. I look forward to working with Mr. Harris for the re-election of Senator Aldhizer. Douglas K. Baumgardner Washington, Va. A bit of history Editor: In 1959, the women of the Episcopal Church asked me to let them have my house, then called “The Oden House,” for one of the tour houses. The name “Oden House” was so-called because the citizens of the town knew the Odens as the only people who had ever lived in the house. Someone who did the research for the tour told me that at one time a Miss Miller had lived here. I mentioned this to Mr. Ned Jones our Clerk of the Circuit Court, and then I forgot about it. However, one day I was standing in my yard when Mr. Jones came by in his car and stopped. He told me the name of this former resident was not Miss Miller but gave me a name which was not a local name and which meant nothing to me. In fact at that time I was working so hard in Fairfax County to be able to pay my debts to have the place in my name that the incident did not occur to me until recently. In these past number of weeks I have done a great deal of thinking about the old place. Since the first year, 1952, when I bought it, I have wanted to give the place a name other than “The Oden House.” Each time I would think of a name I thought suitable, another place would have the same name. On Tuesday, September 23, 1975 I went to the Clerk’s Office having no knowledge whatsoever about research of court records. I reminded Mr. Jones about what he had told me in 1959. Neither of us could remember the girl’s name. He brought out several books but the name evaded us. However, from one book he brought out a single page sent from Culpeper and dated 1789. On the page were names of persons who had bought land in what is now Rappahannock. (Rappahannock County was not formed until 1833.) The names were in parenthesis. If the buyer of the land did not build a home he was required to resell the land. John Miller was the name of the man who had bought my land. Since he did not have the word “resold” by his name, Mr. Jones and I felt that we could say that he must have built the log house. I felt that I had taken so much of the Clerk’s time that I told him not to worry further, for since I had learned a Miller had been the first to build here I was satisfied. I thanked Mr. Jones for his effort and left the office. The next morning, Wednesday, September 24th, 1975, my phone rang. Mr. Jones said “Good Morning’ I didn’t stay here all night. Would the name ‘Spiller’ mean anything to you?” That was the name—Elizabeth Spiller. He then asked if I would like to come down and do some reading. I soon reached the Clerk’s Office. (Some day I am going to do some re-reading there). Mr. Jones first showed me the land book for tax records in the year 1836. The house was worth $300. He then brought out books and books, more than I could comprehend even if I could read the beautiful fine writing. My reading was rewarding. There were two John Millers—Sr. and Jr. and Benjamin F. Miller. How excited I became for they were my direct line of ancestors, Millers who first owned this place and perhaps more. If it were John Miller, Sr. who built the log house, he was my great, great, greatgrandfather. Benjamin F. Miller was my great, great, grandfather. The place was sold to Miss Elizabeth Spiller, the deed dated April 14, 1835. She must have had more land and built more cabins for the article stated she brought her slaves with her. The article indicated that she borrowed money and had debts too. The following names were “testis” to the deed. Thomas Fletcher, Amos Dear, John Miller, Benjamin F. Miller, Joseph Nichlen, John L. Lane and William A. Lane, James Jett, William Fletcher and Tamner Spiller. All of these names had by them little fancy seals done with their writing pens. William Fletcher held the notes. William A. Lane was the adminitrator. I. Menefee was the County Clerk. Elizabeth Spiller died leaving her place to Tamner Spiller about whom we know nothing except that she made her will to her heirs. This accommodation of Mr. Jones (Cousin Ned—for these are his line of Millers also) is appreciated by his old teacher more than she can express. While he may have been curious when he saw the name“John Miller,” I feel this work was done for my benefit, for which I am most grateful. The reading did not help me to give a name to the place for I don’t want the house called a family name. I am naming_the See Page 3

F 0 X Farmers urged to make nominations FARMERS have been reminded that the county ASCS office is now receiving nominations for ASC community committee election candidates. Thomas R. Taylor, Chairman, Rappahannock County ASC Committee, encouraged farmers to use this opportunity to nominate their farm neighbors as candidates in the ASC committee election. The ASC election will be conducted by mail from November 21 to December 1. Eligible farm voters will be provided with instructions for filling out the secret ballot and returning it to the county ASCS office. Most resident farmers are eligible to hold office as ASCS committeemen. If a farmer would like detailed information concern Traffic deaths down VIRGINIA’S traffic deaths for the first three quarters of 1975 stood at 748, or 24 less than those for the same period of 1974, despite a rise of approximately 4.4 percent in traffic volumes, Colonel Harold W. Burgess, Superintendent of State Police, reported. Pedestrian deaths were down from 137 to 108, motorcycle deaths from 51 to 44 and those servicemen from 33 to 26. Deaths of bicyclist were even at 12. Monthly decreases were noted in March (97-86), June (97-88) and July (124-90) while increases were experienced in January (79-83), February (51-57), April (74-79), May (67-69), August (101107) and September (82-89). “If we can hold deaths below the 1,050 of last year we will see our third consecutive year of reduction, something that has not happened since 1960,” Colonel Burgess observed. For the first seven months of the year Virginia’s meleage death rate (deaths per each 100 million miles of vehicular travel) was 2.4 which compared well with the national average of 3.6. For the period, only two states had lower rates and three had the same. Colonel Burgess noted that all statistics were subject to slight upward revision due to late reports and deaths of persons now carried as injured. SUNDAY SCHOOL Washington United Methodist Church will open a Sunday School at 10 a.m. each Sunday beginning October 12. Everyone, young or old, is invited. Washington history From Page l place “The Wallstones” in honor of these beautiful old stones which have always in some form been the foundation to this aged house. Of course there are many questions I would like answered. But as Mrs. Katherine Miller who is writing a book of this line of Millers says—so many records were burned that much cannot be learned. At this time I would like to publicly thank all persons who gave me assistance in any manner to retain the old wall as it has been for years beyond one’s memory. My special thanks and gratitude go to Mr. John R. Eastham and his workers for making such an excellent and beautiful job of repairing the wall, the lasting foundation to the house I have just named “The Wallstones.” Annie Miller Almond YOURSELF!

In filling out a petition, farmers should be careful to include the name of only one nominee, the signatures of at least three eligible ASC voters who support the nominee, and certification that the nominee is willing to serve if elected. Petitions must contain this information; without it, they will not be accepted. The completed petition should be dated and mailed or handdelivered to the county ASCS office no later than October 28. ASC committee elections are open to all eligible ASC voters without regard to race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Any concerned farmer with an interest in serving fellow producers would be an asset to the ASC committee. For this reason, farmers are urged to petition for the farmers of their choice. “The individual producer will benefit in the long run from a responsible, concerned team of ASC committeemen in the local administration of U. S. Government farm programs,” said Taylor. □ Drucilla Davis earns honors Drucilla Graves Davis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George H.

Keith Miller said a structure could not be rebuilt if it were more than 50% destroyed. Pete Luke said he had a letter signed by 36 people from Sperryville, which is in a flood plain, and they all wanted the county to adopt the flood insurance program so they could apply for it. “IF THIS is like the wheat program, it’s no good,” Herbert Foster said. “I’ve been a member of the wheat program since it was first started. This spring after all the rain sprouted the wheat early one man came by and said I’d be eligible for some insurance money.

In endorsing Delegate Miller, Congressman Robinson said, “The voters of the 26th Senatorial District are fortunate indeed that a candidate of Nathan’s quality is running for the Senate. We need young men with his philosophy who can vigorously and aggressively represent us in the State Senate. “I find that Nathan has proven his ability by the kind of service he has given to the people of his district as a member of the House of Delegates for the past four years. I urge you to vote for Nathan Miller so you can have the benefit of his ability and vigorous leadership in the State Senate in the years to come.” ^Congressman Robinson also announced that he is sponsoring a reception in honor of Delegate Miller on Saturday, October 11, from 4 to 7 p.m. at the home of George Foard in Culpeper. □ PASTOR C.

So I ground it up and even the hogs won’t eat it.” Keith Martin from HUD noted that “all the counties surrounding Rappahannock “have adopted flood insurance. H. B. Wood made a motion to adopt the flood insurance program. IN OTHER business, the Supervisors adopted an erosion and sedimentation control ordinance. This ordinance will require anyone undertaking a “land disturbing activity” to file a plan with the county engineer' showing the steps that will be taken during and after construction to minimize erosion and ^ _ sedimentation. The county engineer will inspect the project at different intervals to make sure the plan is followed. Exempted from the requirements of the erosion and sedimentation control ordinance are home gardens, septic fields, tilling, planting and other agricultural activities, single family residences and any other “land disturbing activity” of less than 10,000 square feet. “The only things that are covered are shopping centers, big developments, the kind of activity we don’t normally have in Rappahannock,” Fanning Baumgardner observed. Those projects, which would come under the ordinance, will have to be bonded, he said. The costs of the ordinance will be borne by inspection fees, he said. Don Askew, resident engineer for the Department of Highways, told the Supervisors the secondary road budget for Rappahannock is down $40,000 from the previous year, due to declining revenues from the gasoline tax. So Askew said the highway department would continue with maintenance, but do virtually no new construction. “What our budget shows is that we’ll only be able to complete those projects we’ve already started.”—Pekay Pettus □ OCTOBER 11-18 with i.

Treas. _ Woodville store remains under family management THE WOODVILLE GENERAL STORE, known for the past 30some years as Burke’s Grocery, will continue to be operated in a country store tradition, according to Myrtle and James Falls, the new proprietors. The Falls have been in charge of the store since the death of Mrs. Falls’s mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Burke, in September. Myrtle and Jimmy Falls aren’t lacking experience in the country store business. They ran the Corner Store in Sperryville from 1955 to 1965. But that job became “too confining” for Jimmy Falls and he decided to farm full-time. So Myrtle Falls began to help out in her mother’s store part-time. Running Burke’s Grocery won’t be so hard, they think. “There’s not as much floor space here. It won’t tie up our time as much,” Jimmy Falls said one day last week, after coming in from the farm to join his wife for lunch at the store. “We want to continue the store pretty much as it is,” he said. As country stores go, “as is” is pretty fine. The potbellied stove has been replaced by an oil heater, since Mrs. Burke had asthma and thought the wood stove aggravated her condition, but there are wooden display cases, floors and shelving, all much like they were in the early part of this century. As for “general merchandise,” there’s a wide gamut of country store selections at country store prices, ranging from plaid flanned shirts and “Pointer Brand 100% cotton overalls” stacked on tables, to work boots and denim jackets hanging from a wire, to racks of potato chips and packages of charcoal briquets, as well as grocery staples. Calves bring good prices Rappahannock consignors to the All Star Quality Calf Sale held in Culpeper October 3 received top prices for livestock. Randall Updike of Washington and Crest Hill Farm consigned Miss Skyway 4 which sold for $2500. The second top selling calf was EL Rancho Grande Rito 514, an Angus heifer consigned by Ray T. Cannon of Castleton. Purchase r price of this animal was $1500. Other consignors form Rappahannock included D. D. Miller & Son who sold a calf for $650 and R. P. Anderson’s Bleak Hill Farm hiefer calf brought $325. The Shade sold a heifer for $275. The sale included 75 calves from Virginia and Maryland and was managed by Randall Updike for the Virginia Angus Association.

PANTHER I Cindy Cumins t ..*■ JK As unbelievable as it may seem, the first six weeks of school are over.report cards will be coming out next Tuesday. The hustle and bustle of the first few weeks of school has slowed to a steadier pace, though traveling down the hall between classes can easily bring back that same confusing feeling which many experienced the first few days. Somehow those halls just get smaller and smaller every year. I’m sure Mr. Futtrell, our guidance counselor, is relieved to find that he can step out of his office once more without being faced with an endless line of students waiting for a schedule change. Well, there’s plenty of news to catch up on. First of all, ourS.C.A. has elected its new officers and they are Pat Dodson, president; Connie DelGrosso, vice president; Mary Hudson, secretary; Cindy Cumins, reporter; Lyn Holland, treasurer. The Senior Class has also elected officers. Serving are Dale Frye, president; Raye Rector, vice president; Pat Dodson, secretary; Mike Tupper, treasurer. Holding offices in the National Honor Society are Cindy Cumins, president; Pat Dodson, vice president; Raye Rector, secretary. There were lots of excited seniors last week when Senior rings finally arrived... .now their seniority is official! The annual staff has already begun making plans for this year’s Rappsody. The editor and co-editor are Raye Rector and Carol Skowronski. They, along with the section editors met in Woodstock last Thursday with the publishers to discuss such things as book covers, type selection, etc. We hear the staff is planning something special for this Bi-Centennial year. There’s an old saying which goes, “No news is good news, but in the case of this year’s Cross Country Team, “Some news is the best news”! Of the four meets our C.C. runners have participated in, Rappahannock has consistently placed first. The initial meet September 2 pitted our Panthers against Warren County and Rappahannock won with a perfect score of 15 to their 49. The second meet included Page and Montevideo with Rappahannock and the locals took it with 21 points. The score for Page was 50 and for Montevideo 65 points. The Second Annual Invitational meet lastSaturday at Eastern Menonnite High School 14 schools participated and Rappahannock placed seventh. Competition in the single TALES A division this year appears tough, according to C. C. Coach John Toth and we’ll have to work hard. He says he feels the group has the ability to stay on top. Good, Good Luck Panthers—you can do it. The Varsity cheerleaders held their first practice last week and catching a glimpse of them at work indicates we’ve got a super squad lined up for the sports season. Our super-enthusiastic J. V. cheerleaders wasted no time in getting into action and have already been cheering the girls basketball groups. I’m sure the players have appreciated the encouragement. Mr. Futtrell announced that College Day will be held at James Wood High on October 20 at 7:30 p.m. Students will be able to visit representatives from 4 colleges for 25 minute sessions. Don’t forget College Boards on November 1 and December 6. The deadline for the December testing is October 31 The Industrial Arts Department has three red barns for sale. They measure 6x8 feet and sell for $250 each. If interested call Rappahannock County High School. Have a nice weekend. □ NO SCHOOL There will be NO school Friday October 10 in Rappahannock County. It is a work day for teachers. WHY we Have Funerals When someone you know is in this position, take the time to meet the bereaved family and show that you care.
