Rappahannock News, October 23, 1975

Volume XXVI, Number 50 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1975 FIFTEEN CENTS Historic tour Rapidan-Rappahannock sites are visited IN AN effort to familiarize business and government officials from Orange, Fauquier, Culpeper, Madison and Rappahannock counties with the history and landmarks of those counties, the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission sponsored a bus tour of the Planning District. According to the Commission’s executive director, Arthur Warren, the tour was intended to “get the officials thinking” about the history of the area and possibly give them some idea as to how historical landmarks in the area can be preserved. The trip, which began early in the Baptist Church parking lot in Culpeper on Wednesday, October 15, proceeded through the town of Culpeper. The first speaker on the tour, Claude Guinn, a history Professor at Germanna College, gave a brief history of the town and county of Culpeper, and a detailed account of the Cedar Mountain Battle in which Southern General S tonewall” Jackson attempted to retake the town of Culpeper on August 9, 1862. Historians, he said, are split as to who won the battle. Although Jackson forced Union troops to retreat, Jackson was unable to capture Culpeper, he said. Guinn’s lecture also included background data and a history of a number of houses in Culpeper "-County including the Burgandine House, the oldest house in the county and the boyhood home of A. P. Nill, the famous Southern general who was killed in a counter charge during the defense of Petersburg. THE TOUR proceeded to Orange and Orange County where local author and representative from the Virginia Landmarks Commission, William Thomas, gave the 30 people on the bus a lecture on the formation and history of the County and town. The bus made a short stop at the pre-Revolutionary estate of Bloomsberry. The house, built by James Taylor sometime in the early 1700s, is beautifully kept and furnished, but unoccupied. , The tour continued to Gordonsville, where Thomas commented that the town was one of the first planned communities in the country and was one of the most strategic Lost child report proves premature State Police were alerted Tuesday to search for a 4-year-old child, Robert Lewis Wynkott, whose mother feared he had wandered into the woods near their home south of Woodville. The alert was cancelled when he was found to be riding with his father who had gone to northern Virginia in their pickup. ASC nominating petitions mailed NOMINATING petitions for the 1976 community committee election have been mailed to all Known eligible farm voters in Rappahannock County. Farmers should use this opportunity to nominate the people they wish to have on the election ballot. 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 in the community; and a certification that the nominee is willing to serve if elected. Petitions must contain this information; without it, they will not be accepted. v Completeed petitions must be returned to the county ASCS office by October 28, 1975. Shortly after October 28, all petitions will be reviewed. If six or more valid petitions have been received for an ASC community, the county ASCS office will prepare a slate containing the names of all eligible nominees. If less than six valid petitions are received for any ASC community, the job of slate completion will be turned over to the incumbent community committee, which will add nominees needed to complete the slate. THE ASC community committee election will be conducted by mail from November 21 thru December 1, 1975. The first duty of the newly elected community committee members will be to serve as delegates to elect new members to the county ASC committee. The opportunity to nominate, vote, and be elected to office in the incoming ASC committee election is guaranteed to all farmers regardless of race, religion, sex, color, or national origin. railheads during the Civil War. The Gordonsville portion of the tour also included the Exchange Hotel, which was used as a Confederate hospital. According to Thomas, more than 23,000 men were treated during the war. MADISON County was the next stop on the trip. Local historian Lou Banks told the riders with great pride that Madison has been isolated over the years and was spared the ravages of the Civil War. Madison, the county seat, she said, has been fortunate enough to suffer from “benign neglect” over the years. She noted that the railroad never came to Madison See Paee 3 Powerlines and Vepco figure prominently in the decorating theme for the “barn dance” at Dawson’s Barn, Huntly, on Saturday, November 1, at 8 p.m. Proceeds from the dance will go to the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection to finance the fight against Vepco’s plans to string powerlines across Rappahannock County.

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington €75-3349 ‘Nice Clean Industry’ THE temptation to turn to seemingly simple answers to complicated questions is, apparently, irresistible to most local politicians. At one time, the simple answer was “growth”; the more growth you have the better, it was argued, because from growth flows “progress” for everyone. When that so-called answer failed, a slight refinement was put in its place. “Broadening the tax base” was the catchword of this period. By encouraging more taxpayers to settle in a county, the tax burden would be spread out among more people and, magically, taxes would go down and more services would be provided. It didn’t happen. More people meant a geometrically increasing demand for services which was supposed to be supplied by a tax rate that was expanding only by simple arithmetic. The imbalance can get frightening rather quickly, as Prince William is finding out, and which Loudoun and Fauquier have tasted. Now the magic panacea is Industry. Everybody wants Industry, “Clean, Responsible Industry,” of the type which will pay high taxes; provide oodles of jobs, import only a minimum number of people (and those so wellheeled that they can take care of themselves, sending their children to private schools and amusing themselves at private recreational clubs), while demanding no county services to speak of, imposing no traffic problems that can’t be solved by an interstate highway or two, and bringing Progress and Prosperity and an elevated Quality of Life to one and all. Amen. IT’S an interesting theory. Wonder why it hasn’t lowered the tax rate in, say, New York City or New Jersey, or solved the problems of Fairfax County, Va., or Detroit, Mich.? If industrialization, whether heavy or “light and clean,” is the answer, then why have industrialized areas led all others recently in unemployment and misery? Why have such nearby industrialized areas as Winchester, Front Royal and Culpeper surpassed such agricultural areas as Rappahannock in unemployment and welfare payments? Furthermore, if Nice Clean Industry is such a bonanza to a community, why doesn’t it stay put, instead of constantly moving from community to community? Just recently, three firms which once provided, supposedly, a broadened tax base and employment opportunities in Orange have closed up and moved away. Culpeper has experienced several such decisions recently. Can it really be that these Nice Clean Industries are merely floating around looking for the most generous host community, and once having exhausted all possible benefits that can be extracted, moving onto another willing host? Is there more to the Nice Clean Industry theory than meets the eye? A United States Department of Agriculture study conducted in recent years in the MidSouth concluded that except for special cases, bringing in an industrial operation to a rural, agricultural setting can often wind up with more costs than benefits. Unless the pure creation of jobs is the overriding consideration, the study concluded, a farming community might be far better off sticking to farming. These are things that should receive a lot more careful thought than they’ve gotten so far. Merely to parrot a catchword phrase—Nice Clean Industry—is not the same thing as analyzing local needs against realistic, possible local solutions. The solution, or at least part of the solution, might well be Nice Clean Industry, but then again, strengthening the Nice Clean Industry we already have—Agriculture, in all its phases— might be an even better solution. We think it is. □ ..I— “Close-up” One correct reply was all that we received in the closeup contest and that was from Scott Jenkins of Remington who will receive a free subscription to the Rappahannock News.

Letters to the editor Another ‘meanest thieves' nomination Editor: We would like to second the Thackere^s’ nomination (in a letter to the editor two weeks ago) for meanest thieves of the year. These thieves also stripped our property of azaleas and rhododendrons in September. Incidentally, in our case, they showed an amazing audacity: They didn’t take all our plants the first time but returned to the scene of the crime-at least once to get more plants! Our property has been burglarized many times in the last few years but until now the thefts have always involved things that could be quickly replaced, like garden hose and tools (a complete set has been taken on several different occasions). However, this most recent theft involves more—we’ve had to abandon a long-range dream. Since 1964, when we bought our land on the Hazel River, we’ve been gradually landscaping it with the hope that by the time we were able to settle permanently in Rappahannock County we would have a woodland garden with banks of mature azaleas and rhododendrons. Now we know that hope cannot be realized. There seems to be nothing that can be done to prevent these thieves from coming back time after time. Although we have always reported burglaries as soon as we’ve discovered them, no one has even been apprehended, no stolen property has ever been recovered. Although several kind neighbors have offered to check our property regularly, we’ve abandoned the plan for an azalea woods. We’ve concluded that it is impossible—at least as long as such vandals continue to roam through Rappahannock County. The Robert D. Learys BENEFIT PROGRAM The Willing Five of South Hill,_ Va. will sing at the Shiloh Baptist" Church of Woodville Sunday, October 26 at 7:30 p.m. This is to benefit the church.

October 12 the Amissville Rescue 'Squad took Willie Hackley from his home to Fauquier Hospital, Warrenton. Sunday this unit was called to a traffic accident at Rediviva but service was not used. The squad answered a call to Cannon’s Trailer Park Wednesday morning but details were not available. Chester Gap Rescue Squad transported Mrs. Julia Pullen from her home Friday morning to Warren Memorial Hospital, Front Royal. Washington Rescue Squad took Charlie Atkins from Sperryville to Warren Memorial on October 10. Mrs. Bertha Armel was taken October 14 from her home to Warren Memorial and on the 18th this unit responded to Gid Brown Hollow to the home of Silas Pullen who was found D. 0. A. On October 19 Gail Stevens of Baltimore, Md. was taken from Devil Stairs in Harris Hollow to the Rappahannock Clinic. Flint Hill Rescue Squad was cal 1 - ed Saturday to Huntly but service was not used. On Sunday this unit was on standby at the Bealeton Air Show.

T H E L I T T L E F 0 X Historic tour is conducted From Page 1 and the major transportation route to the town has been Route 29 to Charlottesville. Rappahannock County was toured next, where the bus stopped briefly at James W. (Jim Bill) Fletcher’s rambling house, Montpelier. The house, which is more than 100 feet lone and one room wide, was built by Hessians during the Revolution, said Rappahannock Supervisor Pete Luke, who narrated the tour through Rappahannock. The house in on the National Historic Register. Luke was also proud that Rappahannock has been relatively isolated over the years. He did say, however, that reporters from the Washington area papers have written too much about the scenic beauty of Rappahannock and now the roads have become clogged with weekend tourists. Luke commented that he is against having any roads in the county being given a scenic road designation because the “state will just sit there and count the traffic and then come in and widen it.” LUKE ALSO commented that the County is more interested in agricultural development than industrial development, although he did admit Rappahannock has its share of applejack manufacturers. The Fauquier tour, led by Warrenton Mayor Willard Lineweaver, included a tour of government buildings in Warrenton and a trip down the Fauquier Springs Road. Lineweaver commented that according to a Federal study, Fauquier County was named one of the five nicest places to live in the nation. He said the study took into account employment opportunities, “quality of life,” and proximity to Washington, D. C. The trip was probably put in perspective best when the bus dri ver, Curtis Amburn, commented how terrible it would be to see the area developed. Although the tour was described as “cosmetic” by Kenneth Oestrich, physical planner for the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission, he did say it could be a first step in the preservation of the area’s open spaces and historical landmarks. He said that the commission’s major concern is to advise local officials chi how to protect these landmarks, and will help them in every way they can to do this.—Tom Hill □ Rash of highway mishaps A RASH of wrecks occurred in Rappahannock during the past two weeks. Sunday, on Route 211 a half mile west of Washington, a rear end collision took place involving Larry Dale Woodard in a 1967 Chevrolet and Lawrence Allen Jenkins of Sperryville. He was driving a 57 Ford. According to Trooper C.A. Moore, Woodard said he was driving when he was struck by the Jenkins vehicle. Charges are pending, said the officer. Clarence B. Johnson of Woodville struck a deer Saturday night. The animal jumped into the road, Route 522 south of Woodville and Mr. Johnson hit it. Monday at the intersection in front of Sperryville Corner Store a laborer from Florida was cited for failing to yield the right of way PRE-HALLOWEEN A Pre-Halloween program will be held at the Rappahannock Community Center, Washington, on Saturday, October 25 at 6 p.m. for children 1-13.

A motorcyclist sustained a broken leg in a collision during the weekend. William Lee Loser III of Hampton failed to negotiate a curve on Route 211 four miles west of Sperryville and veered into the eastbound lane. He was struck by a 73 Chevrolet pickup driven by Frank Baylus Wharton of Centreville. Loser was charged with reckless driving. THE REV. Jennings Hobson III of Washington and Simon R. Finch of Silver Spring, Md. collided at Panorama Sunday. Finch, driving a 70 Dodge, was cited for failing to yield the right of way by Officer Moore, after striking the 66 Volkswagen operated by Hobson. Martin F. Green of Arlington was charged with reckless driving when he lost control of his 70 Hornet on a curve on Route 707 and 601 Thursday night. The vehicle stuck the bank and over turned. THE BRAKES apparently failed on a 65 Ford station wagon driven by Richard Elmer Nave Sunday and he struck a 69 Volkswagen operated by Clarence J. Ewald of Springfield. Nave was cited for defective equipment. The collision occurred on Route 211 three miles west of Sperryville. James C. Johnson of Washington lost control of his pickup on Route 640 near Viewtown October 17 and struck a tree. Damage to the 72 Dodge pickup was estimated at $1500. Johnson was not injured. Like much of the rest of the house, the door on Montpelier is getting weatherbeaten. Toneys Downtown Super Market 2.% B.

PANTHER TALES Cindy Cumins College—Career Night last Tuesday at James Wood High School proved interesting and informative for many Junior and Senior students. College Career Night is held each year at various locations for the purpose of aiding students in gaining added information about colleges they might be interested in attending and career field they could enter. Tuesday the sessions were divided into 25 minute periods in which each student could visit with a representative from four colleges of his choice. There was a list of 75 colleges from which to choose. The sessions were very casual and informative. There were at least six familiar Rappahannock faces a - midst the crowd. It sounds as if Mr. Wingfield is going to have to put up with some “monkeying around” November 7—the Southeast Assembly Co. is putting on a program for the enjoyment of the student body, featuring chimpanzies!

Flint Hill vineyard to celebrate vintage THE FIRST VINTAGE from Farfelu Vineyard near Flint Hill will be celebrated on Saturday, October 25, from 5-7 p.m. with a wine and cheese party, hosted by vineyard owners C. J. and Lou Raney. The Raneys were one of the first Piedmont citizens to believe in the potential for a wine industry in northern Virginia. Raney has set out more than 3,000 vines of French-American hybrids. The Raney’s vineyard is the largest in Rappahannock County. Since Raney planted his grape vines, a Virginia Winegrowers Association has been established. They can rightfully boast of a membership of several hundred, a journal published twice a year and a record turn out of more than 200 people at the second annual meeting held near, Middleburg in August. With winegrowers like Charles Raney taking the initiative, some people believe the northern Virginia Piedmont could well become the “Burgundy of America.” 5 *1.00 J NnlKkf FiMChkhn I good Oct.18-26 [ |j-J 75< offttt-pkcdudBtoi Kentucky Fried CMdm at participating\ ^ this coupon \ Limit one BocHet per coupon good Oct.18-26 50* offoalMmoBoBsof Kentucky Fried CNden i dl pdruciUdl | mg stores j with this j coupon I ■ Dinner Bo*es^*X m ■ ‘ per coupon •" m | Offer i \£00d_ Oct. 1f-26 1 Kentucky fried £kimn.

Roual Plaza Shopping Center Front Poual 635-7 17 I lor, Sean Marsh, Will Warsauer, David Whorton, Kevin Smithgall, Pete Aylor and Jeff Gatewood pitched tents in the woods above Michael Marsh’s pasture pond just in from Route 620, during the steady downpour that swept our county about supertime, and brought 31/2 inches during the night. “That lean-to we made of tarps saved the night,” said Jeff Gatewood, a 10-year-old. Scout Master Aylor observed that every boy worked fast and hard to get the fire started. He said, “They found dry baling strings to light, they took dripping branches and whittled off small chips that they fed to the smoldering little bunch of twine, and they blew and blew until a bright little flame grew; then we were in business.” WHEN next morning dawned clear and bright and warm, ten happy boys crept out of soggy tents to start the day’s scouting chores with a huge, well deserved breakfast that they cooked down by the pond. Not one boy left; they were all game for another night. Tim and Tom Metzinger, both troop leaders, said, “Aftermaking it through that rain, the next night was easy-street. Believe it or not, we even cooked a peach cobbler in a big dutch oven buried in the fire coals for our Saturday night celebration.

More than half of all pedestrian fatalities occur during hours of darkness and 25 per cent of the pedestrians killed are under 15 years of age. “The behavior of youngsters at Halloween is unpredictable and requires extra caution by motorists,” according to John T. Hanna, director, Highway Safety Division of Virginia. “Motorists can help to make this a safe Halloween by avoiding highly populated areas whenever possible. They should turn their headlights on earlier, drive at a lower rate of speed than usual and watch out for children running from between parked cars,” Hanna said.
