Latham KAREN BEAR SUSAN COLLINS New Faces In County Posts Personnel changes in county offices include a new Deputy Clerk and a new Deputy Treasurer. Karen L. Bear of Washington has accepted a position in the Rappahannock County Clerk’s dwke as Deputy to Clerk Diane Bruce. She fills the position recently vacated by the retirement of Eva L. Smith of Flint Hill. Karen, a native of Hershey, Pa., whose family moved to Washington, D.C. and then to Fairfax County when she was about two years old, attended and graduated from Fairfax County High School. She was employed in a secretarial position with the U.S. Government and also in private industry before coming to Rappahannock County in 1968 with her husband William, and children Chad 9 and Eric 13. They lived near Amissville for a while, left briefly, then returned and purchased a home on the Fodderstack Road at Washington. Both Mr. and Mrs. Bear Supervisors Plan Office Renovation By u Ararat, hutch irasora Rappahannock Vw» Staff Writer The Rappahannock supervisors voted unanimously at last Thursday’s board meeting to hire architect Avery Faulkner for preliminary sketches and “ball park” cost estimates on remodeling the old clerk's office in the court house complex. Chairman E. P. Luke recommended finishing plans and estimates for redoing the old building into offices for the Commissioner of Revenue, Zoning Administrator and Voting Registrar before worH begins on the 1979-1980 county budget. In addition, Luke suggested that money from the general fund instead of revenue sharing be used to finance the project. “We can do some financial ^finagling around to put money into different pockets so we don’t get involved with the DavisBacon Act (federal legislation that sets salary, payroll procedures, etc. for construction projects in which federal funds are used.)" Luke recalled that the public space study committee, meeting three years ago, had proposed that all non-legal offices be moved out of the court house. If the Commissioner of Revenue, Zoning Administrator and Voting Registrar are relocated, the move will free office space to be used for witness rooms, the chairman noted. The supervisors also requested Faulkner to submit a formal proposal for installing an underground (Continued on Page 4) are active in Scouting, she a cub leader and he an assistant Scoutmaster and Unit Commissioner in Rappahannck. “With sons that age, who has a choice,” she asked, “but I wouldn’t trade it for anything." Karen is a member and past president of the Rappahannock Women’s Club and in her spare time (what spare time?) enjoys baking and sewing at home and loves to travel, though now it will be limited with a fulltime job. The Bear family has done much of this since Mr. Bear “Yogi” to his friends, is a flight dispatcher with United Airlines. He is frpm Freeport, 111. and they met through friends, she said. Susan Curtis Collins of Washington fills the position of Deputy in the office of Frances Foster, Treasurer of_ Rappahannock. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Curtis and grand-* daughter of Hugh Jack Racer, all of Washington. Mrs. Julia Curtis of Amissville is her paternal grandmother. This job was created by the resignation of Judy Black Armentrout of Woodville who plans to continue her education. ' Susan is a native of Washington, D.C., attended Surfattsville High School in Clinton, Md. and the University of Maryland in College Park. She has formerly been employed with Mutual of New York as an administrative assistant. She has two children, Michelle and Bill, and her hobbies include needlepoint, knitting and crocheting. Fashion Show Underway Members of the Rappahannock Women’s Club are busy with plans for their annual spring fashion show. This year’s show, Fashion Fantasy, will be held Sunday, March 25 at 2 p.m. at Rappahannock Elementary School. Benefits will go to the Rappahannock County Library. Lynne Baines and Beth DeBergh, show chairperson and co-chairperson, announce that fashions will again be furnished by Peebles Department Store of Warrenton.

Anyone intersted in public education in the county is invited to attend. Walking Through Williamsburg By DAPHNE HITCH IN SON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer While the early bird catches the worm, the early chaperone manages to grab a few extra minutes for a morning shower—an absolute necessity when you’ve had less than four hours of sleep and are facing a day of non-stop walking back 1 through time into colonial Williamsburg. The super-charged seventh graders who tried to set endurance records for staying up all night on Friday were dragging their tails behind when teachers marched through the motel halls at our 6:45 a.m. wake-up time. The chaperones, too, looked a little worse for wear as Rappahannock's entourage walked—not ran—to the cafeteria for breakfast. After a short bus ride into town, we divided into groups with three chaperones and 24 kids, met our guides and started down Williamsburg’s sidewalks. The brisk morning air on that perfect day for a walking tour helped pop eyelids open when I was sure we’d all need toothpicks to look alert. First stop was the musician's shop where a gentleman in colonial garb treated us to a mini-concert on a harpsichord. As in each business and building that we visited, we heard a little talk on colonial life before the kids were invited to ask questions. In between stops, our tour guide kept us entertained with educational commentary on what it was like to live in the Virignia colony in the 1970’s. After the musician’s shop, it was off to hear how wealthy Virginia gentlemen kept up with the latest in hair fashions. At the wlggery. a colonial dame demonstrated how wigs were painstakingly made, a layer at a time, from human hair (expensive!) or goat's hair (slightly cheaper). The finest quality hair came straight from the heads of young women who grew tresses waist length or longer. White hair, for formal wigs, was the most prized—understandably so since few teenaged girls turned gray while their hair was still in prime condition. Brown or auburn hair was also fine for wigs but flaming red was socially unacceptable. It certainly must have been tough on carrot tops in those days. Style-conscious dandies, concerned with their outfits matching just so, powdered their white wigs blue or green to go with their formal attire on really big occasipns. We could almost see the wheels turning in little heads as the boys assessed how this old time fad would go over at home. According to our colonial dame, men were forced to shave their heads for a perfect wig fit and wore little bonnets at home—even to sleep in—so as to protect the sensibilities of family and friends who might be offended by the sight of shiny domes. Gentlemen who couldn't afford to spend the average three months' salary for a wig did the next best thing and had their hair styled so it looked like a wig. Ladies also settled for second best with a once-in-a-while trip to the wiggery as beauty parlor for a fancy “do.” A Bird In The Hair Our wig shop proprietor related tales of some particularly elegant styles, done up around a scene or even a bird cage built right into the halt. Of course, die ladies had to sleep sitting up to protect these fashions. And (Continued on Page 2) Goode Subdivision Loses By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The Rappahannock supervisors sent developer C. L. Goode back to the drawing board last Thursday with the recommendation that he redesign the layout of his 14-lot subdivision so that each lot contains five acres under 14 percent slope. After an hour-and-a-half executive session at the February 1 board meeting, chairman E. P. Luke informed Goode that the supervisors would write him a letter, asking the developer “to go over the plat and make adjustments so each lot is totally under 14 percent slope. That would put you in compliance with the minimum lot size (for subdivisions without public sewer and water on land zoned agricultural)." said Luke. In addition. Luke told the developer that he must amend the subdivision's erosion and sedimentation control plan to include recommendations from the Soil and Water Conservation District before approval foi the development would be granted. At the public hearing on approval of the rezoning and final plat for Mountain Slopes, Goode's attorney Claude Compton was the lone spokesman in favor of the subdivision. Noting that drainfield. road, and erosion and sedimentation control plans had already received approval Compton maintained that the development met all county subdivision Vregi ulations. He added that engineers Jim Harris and Rosser Payne of Fauquier County had both cheeked Goode's plans for compliance. Compton reported that the proposed development is located on a state maintained road and that all roads in the subdivision will be built to state specifications. "The highest and best use of this property is a subdivision of five acres or more." said Compton. (Continued on Page 4) supervisors To Consider Capital Improvements Program a recent Virginia Supreme Court decision involving the carry-over of surplus funds may require the Rappahannock supervisors to adopt a capital improvements program for the county, according to a report from accountant Walter Cox. At last Thursday's meeting of the board of supervisors. Cox announced that the state’s high court had held a tax levy set by Isle of Wight supervisors to be excessive because it provided a budget surplus. The court ordered the Isle of Wight board to reset the levy and refund the difference to county tax payers, according to Cox. “I don’t know how this will apply to counties,” said Cox. He added that a bill providing for balanced local budgets had been reinKramer Ranks High The town of Washington's Peter Kramer is listed as one of the city of Washington’s best furniture makers in a feature article carried in the January 28 edition of HomeLife. the Washington Star newspaper’s Sunday magazine. Profiled with seven other area craftsmen, Kramer is the only furniture maker to rate a full page, color photo. His work is described as "the kind of simple, functional furniture that might have been crafted by a skilled workman” of the 18th century. The article notes that Kramer produces “reincarnated 18th century furniture," not reproductions. In addition to Peter himself, the photographs included in the article show a Windsor with a “comparatively inexpensive" price tag of $350 and a chair', both of primitive, Early American design. The cover of HomeLife carries a shot of Kramer’s tools, complete with wood shavings. troduced to the General Assembly in the current session. The bill, if passed, would require local governments to spend all funds carried over from the previous fiscal year and then set a tax levy that would meet revenue needs with no surplus. Cox explained. This would mean, Cox said, that local budgets would have to “zero out every June 30. There would be no (Continued on Page 5) Power Line Investigation Continues By IMPHNK HITCHI!\SON Rappahannock V-ws Staff ^ ritor Frank Carmack, safety director for RichardsonWayland Electrical Corporation, reported on Friday that investigators have a suspect for the incidents of vandalism that have plagued work on the Vepco power line being built across Rappahannock County. “We think we know who did it,” said Carmack, referring to the “malicious damage" that caused the fall of a power line tower three weeks ago. Investigators believe that the same individual may also be responsible for damage done to “dozens of pieces of equipment" belonging to J. Kenyon Perrin Corporation, according to Carmack. In the latest incident of crippled equipment, vandals broke out a windshield and cut hoses on a proclain, a piece of machinery used to dig foundations for the power line towers. “It will probably take four days to repair it," Carmack reported. Carmack said that charges involved in the tower fall will be placed soon. He declined to describe the suspect beyond indicating that he was an adult male with no connection to either Richardson-Wayland or to the organized opposition that fought approval of the Vepco line. Carmack discounted allegations made by Ken Welk that the fallen tower was not properly secured to its base with nuts and washers. Welk. who owns property where the fallen tower was standing, told the Rappahannock News that he and his wife frequently visit their land to walk the acreage and discuss site and design of the home they plan to build there. According to Welk. they make the trip from Fauquier to their lot on Route 647 once or twice a week. No Nuts Or Washers Welk said on Friday that he has often noticed and commented on the failure of construction crews to anchor towers. He said that the last time he'd seen the fallen tower erect, washers and nuts were screwed onto only one of the four legs. In addition, he reported that nuts, bolts, and washers were scattered throughout the weeds around each of the towers. Welk discounted Carmack's claim that washers and nuts found 20 to 25 feet from the fallen tower had been tossed there by vandals and were the same washers and nuts that had held one-and-a-quarter inch bolts six feet into the concrete bases. “The two towers close to the road have never been bolted down since I've seen them.'' maintained Welk, adding that he'd been to the site once or twice a week during the entire construction period. He added that the legs of the tower closest to the road had a few nuts on its bolts but that these nuts “weren't even screwed down" beyond a few twists by hand. Welk added that all the towers had been secured since the one fell. “It's a totally different situation now." he said. (A visit on Friday to the tower line with the Welks saw tower legs anchored with double sets of bolts screwed all the way down to the washers. Nuts, bolts and (Continued on Page 2) Robber Convicted James Stewart Simpson of Culpeper was convicted of armed robbery in Rappahannock County Circuit Court on January 8. Simpson, tried without a jury, was found guilty by presiding Judge R. V. Snead. The Judge requested a presentence report to be heard March 12 prior to sentencing. Simpson, along with David Payton Thompson, also of Culpeper, was charged by Trooper R.A. Baines for the armed robbery of Mr. Jefferson's Store in Sperryville on April 25. 1978. At that time Ronald Reynolds, proprietor of the store, was robbed at gunpoint of approximately $250. Simpson and Thompson are also charged with murder and robbery in Culpeper and Orange counties. Thompson is in Chicago where he faces federal charges of kidnapping. according to Baines. ' i J —Rappahannock Nam Photo/Mary Schuniakrr ACTING OUT ROLES of colonial lawbreakers, Rappahannock’s seventh graders took turns locking each other up in the stocks in front of the Williamsburg jail. A few misbehavers, guilty of a little more than youthful high spirits, were prime candidates for a longer stay.

Power Line (Continued from Page 1) washers were found scattered around the towers. However, all pieces of the discarded hardware were much smaller than the type used to fasten the tower legs to their concrete bases.) Convinced Of Vandalism When informed of Welk’s statements, Carmack said that both Vepco and Wayland-Richardson were convinced that vandalism had caused the tower to fall. He reported that threads of bolts attached to the tower had been examined under a microscope and matched with threads of the nuts found near the fallen tower. "We can tell exactly which nut came off each bolt." hesaid. adding that nuts had been found still attached to two tower legs after the fall. In addition, he said, examination showed "dig marks" from washers on each of the steel plates astened to the legs of the lallen tower. Carmack reported that, according to weather bureau records. Rappahannock had seen four nights of w inds that would have taken an unanchored tower over between the fallen tower's date of erection on December 14 and the date it toppled, presumably January 18. He guessed that Welk had iewed the tower during the lew days before the nuts were screwed to the bolts. According to Carmack, one ol the four nuts at the base of each leg is screwed down tight when the tower is erected. To have all the nuts screwed tight before a second tower is put up would require holding a crane idle for twoand-a-half-hours, he said. So, instead, the crane moves on to erect another tower while the rest of the nuts wait for a shake-down crew. In regard to the washers and nuts scattered around the tower locations, Carmack said the pieces of hardware were probably discards left over from putting the tower together. The larger nuts and bolts used to anchor the power line towers to concrete bases are specifically assigned to each tower and are kept at construction headquarters until needed, according to the safety director. “They aren't scattered around. They're too expensive." he concluded. Dedicate A Dogwood Four-H’ers of Rappahannock County, who are selling white and pink dogwoods and redbuds to beautify the county, would like to urge citizens, businesses and organizations of the county to plant a tree in memory of someone or dedicate it to someone. Special orders for this purpose. 4-5 foot pink dogwoods at $16 each and 45 foot white dogwoods at $13 each, can be placed with the Extension Office at Washington. Delivery will be made on April 5.

The fire burned six acres before it was controlled. History Comes Alive (Continued from Page 1) we thought it was hard to keep a "bee hive" together. The kids left the wiggery with ammunition against parental edicts for weekly shampoos when our guide announced that colonial ladies usually washed their hair only two or three times a year. Involuntarily, hands flew up to scratch as the girls imagined what heads felt like between bouts with soap and water. We also learned the origin of the red pole with the ball on top that advertises a modern barber shop. Back in the good old days, the wig shop owner or barber conducted a little side business as a surgeon. In the 17th century, when blood letting was considered the cure-all for just about every ailment, barbers wrapped the bloody bandages from their work around a pole in front of the shop and set the copper bowl used to collect blood on top so folks would know where to find a good surgeon. Sanitary regulations, thank goodness, forced the switch from bloody bandagesjotp symbolic red stripes. -1 - In the apothecary-shop.Jthe smell of dried herbs used to combat diseases hung in the air as a jolly colonial druggist explained how his prototype amputated limbs with a saw, but without anesthetic or antibiotics. No wonder one-legged colonists were rare. Few survived the shock of those old fashioned operations. Our druggist explained that patients were sometimes given a shot of whiskey to prepare them for surgery but more often than not, the booze only made the patients easier to hold down instead of leaving them unconscious. He invited the kids to come back to see him if they took sick during their Williamsburg tour. Later, we had a few complaints about upset stomachs or headaches but no one suggested we make a return visit to the apothecary. Straw Beds For Criminals Rappahannock’s seventh graders got a lesson on comparative criminal justice /when they visited the old Williamsburg jail. Debtors were imprisoned in relative comfort with a fireplace, indoor privy and bunk but those thrown in the clink for more serious crimes had to make do with the privy, a pile of straw and a little window with no pane—and no heat. This graphic illustration of the kind of punishment handed out in colonial Williamsburg made it easy to understand why the crime rate was lower back then. The stocks in front of the jail were a real hit. Kids took turns locking their buddies in for a few minutes for just a taste of what happened if you missed church services in the 17th century before the separation of church and state. There are probably a few ministers around today who'd like to be able to bring that kind of motivation to bear. Churches would be fuller on Sunday mornings and golf courses a lot emptier if it meant a few hours bent over and cramped in the stocks. With our tour guide, we stopped in briefly at an upper-middle class home. The furnishings weren't too different from the Early American style furniture in vogue today but there was no kitchen in the main house. Instead, as a concession to the ever present danger of fire, it was outside in a separate little building—one of several “necessaries" that were clustered to the rear of the big house. At the candlemaker’s, we watched a demonstration of how candles were dipped. In colonial times, families collected their own bay berries and honey combs and then took the supplies to the candlemakers to be cooked down and turned into wax. Indoor lighting was a luxury rather than a necessity in colonial times. Children weren’t allowed a nieht light when the household could afford only two or three dozen candles a year. Basket Weaving No Snap “A course in basket weaving’’ today descries educational classes that require little or no effort to pass, the kind that the dumb seven foot center on the basketball team takes to keep his eligibility. In colonial Williamsburg, basket weaving wasn’t a snap, it took, like most of the other professions in town, a five-to-seven year apprenticeship before the craft was mastered. In the basket weaver's shop, we watched nimble fingers send splints back and forth in an intricate pattern that produced basket masterpieces a world away from the plastic, made in Hong Kong, variety found in most modern stores. Shoes, like baskets, were works of art in colonial times and like wigs, they were expensive. Cost was so high that leather shoes and boots weren’t made for right and left feet but were fashioned so they could be worn interchangeably on either foot to get the most in wearing time. Without cars and buses, people either traveled by horseback, in a buggy or on foot. To a chorus of moans and groans from the kids, our shoemaker explained that a colonist could have walked from Rappahannock to Williamsburg in about three days. The news made our long bus ride seem much more bearable. At the blacksmith’s shop, our host explained that he didn't shoe horses but instead, made tools and other implements for home and CASH PAID FOR SCRAP CAST IRON Such as Stripped Automotive Blocks, etc. Prices Determined 3 By Quantities j > and Qualities. ’ Delivered to Our Yard In Culpeper BINGHAM A TAYLOR FOUNDRY Ndi Mac* 825-8334 business. In one of the few reminders that we weren't really back in colonial America, the bellows for the blacksmith’s forge was run by a machine instead of an apprentice standing and pumping for hours at a time to keep the fire hot. In the powder magazine, where muskets and ammunition were stored, the boys admired the collection of old guns and sabers that hung from the walls while the girls snapped pictures of a blonde-haired cutie who gave us a talk on weaponry. The kids had asked so many questions that we were running a little behind schedule for the last part of the tour. Track shoes would have helped as we raced through Bruton Parish Church where colonists attended services of the Church of England. Our group practically tiptoed after they learned that socially prominent citizens of old Williamsburg were buried under their feet beneath the church floor. Rockefeller Honored Next was a mad dash to the old capital. We reached the building in time to see the colonial flag come down and our American banner run up to half mast to mark the death of Nelson Rockefeller, benefactor, like his father, of the restoration of colonial Williamsburg. In the capital, our youngsters tried to find the exact seats where, in a movie the night before, they’d seen George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry sit as members of Virginia's House of Burgesses. In the kitchen of the governor's palace, we listened as colonial cooks explained nuw mean wtit piepaieu in huge stone ovens and over open fires minus controls to lower or raise the flame. Our last stop was the palace itself—a grand, imposing building equally as fit for a prince as for the vernor of an uncivilized, new world colony. But as impressive as the palace was, it didn’t stand a chance against the governor's formal gardens as far as the kids were concerned. For months, they’d been hearing stories about the boxwood maze and all day, instructions on how to navigate that maze were passed back and forth. "Take a left and then all rights or is it a right and then all lefts?” It didn’t matter—they all found the center. Like a horde of penny conscious shoppers ad a Gimbel’s or Macy’s sale, the kids raced. Around corners, down to dead ends and back around again, they ran full speed ahead till they all poured into the center square—much to the distress of the sweethearts who had been murmuring endearments to each other on a stone bench before the Rappahannock horde hit the scene. As frantic as it might have been, the race around the maze was nothing compared to our reenactment of the battle of Yorktown. After being quiet and well behaved during the Williamsburg walking tourr—at least most of the time—after a subdued shopping expedition in Regency Square where they were warned that they’d have to buy anything they broke, after the 45-minute bus ride to Yorktown, the kids were a powder keg. They exploded all over the hills and open fields of the battleground. Luckily, we suffered ho casualties. My mother's heart flew repeatedly up my mother's throat as I watched bodies hurdling past. Instead of Red Coats and patriots, we sawwild Indians from Rappahannock as the kids worked off two days of pent up energies. Once again, I was sure that our charges would collapse when they hit the beds back in the hotel room. Once again, I was proved wrong but not until hours later into the night. Williamsburg By Candlelight After we rounded up the tribes, it was back to the cafeteria for dinner and then off on a magical tour of old Williamsburg by lantern light. The spirits of our colonial ancestors seemed to hover around each corner as we followed our guide in his flowing cape past buildings lit only by Candles. In the printer’s shop, we were treated to a demonstration of how the weekly paper was produced. Several of the kids had the chance to try their hand a turning out’a sheet and each group took j copies of their work back to frame for the classroom walls. In the book bindery, our guide explained how books, more expensive than wigs and dearer than leather boots, were enjoyed by just a privileged few — the aristocracy ot wealth and education. Unfortunately, the Raleigh Tavern Bakery was fresh out of cookies so we couldn’t sample the sweets that were popular in colonial Williamsburg. It was probably just as well as the kids seemed to have an inexhaust able supply of modern candy bars and junk foods that they stuffed their little faces with for the entire three-day trip. At the millinery shop, the girls in particular, seemed fascinated by our guide’s explanation of the language of fans that colonial ladies used to send messages to their gentlemen friends. There were flutters that said "I'm interested,” flutters that said ‘‘Drop dead,” and flutters that meant “Meet me later.” It all seemed so much more civilized than the punches and shoves young ladies use to convey their intentions in these modern times. Back in the motel after our lantern tour, disco dancing was barely in evidence. Again, the girls were most cooperative about climbing into bed but again, the chaperones sat another vigil until the last whisper died away. Most of us grownups fell asleep full of dark forebodings at the trip to Jamestown and the long ride home in face of a weather forecast that promised snow. (Next week: Life in Jamestown’s mud and wattle huts.) Fire Fighters Needed It's fire weather again. Although Old Man Winter is still holding court with his glaze of frozen snow and ice. high winds and a recent dry spell have combined to create dangerous fire conditions. Companies across the county responded to a rash of fires on Sunday. Flint Hill Company answered a call to Dr. Robert Rodgers’ property at 2:40 p.m. when fire spread from a trash barrel and burned approximately 300 yards of a field before controlled. Earlier in the day, Castleton and Sperryville departments sped to a field and woodland fire at Charles Hitt’s residence that burned six acres before it was extinguished. Chester Gap and Flint Hill had a call Sunday night to a house fire on Jay Dawson's farm near Huntly on Route 662. The blaze destroyed the entire inside of the house. No one was hurt in the fire. According to the Rappahannock Fire and Rescue Association, all fire departments in the county are suffering from a lack of manpower that hampers each company’s ability to answer fire calls. Volunteers are needed if the present level of preparedness is to be maintained.

Don Keithley was in the market for a small business here in Rappahannock when he noticed the “for sale” sign on Atkins’ service station and frrfit stand. “He'd been looking for quite a few years, not necessarily for a grocery store but for any small shop," said Arlene Keithley. The Keithleys purchased the business and went to work on the main building. They added a shelf island in the middle, shelves in the back, dairy cases, soda coolers and an ice cream case Hawkins Honored Ronnie Hawkins, who recently resigned from the Rappahannock Sheriff’s Department, was honored with a dinner party by Sheriff and Mrs. W.

"Real Estate REALTOR ON OLDER HOMES Every year, twice as many American families buy older (or previouslyoccupied homes) than they do new houses. Depending upon the age of the home, naturally, there may be some unknown risks in the area of construction, plumbing, or wiring. However, these can be obviated by a professional inspection. But there are also some major advantages to buying an older home. It normally contains far more space than a new home in the same price range, and there are a great many more older homes than new homes for sale which gives you a wider opportunity to make a good buy. Also, many older homes have a charm, location, and graciousness that can't be found in a new home. True, a new home will give you fewer maintenance problems and more modern built-in appliances, however, there is much to be said for the older home too. The best approach is to look at bpth and weigh the merits. We’ll be happy to show you a fine selection of both older and new homes to choose from.

The new' sign across the Iront of the store captures the spirit of the county with a painting of Rappahannock's mountains. The art work wasn't really planned. Mrs. Keithley said something was needed to cover up the cocacola emblems at each end of the sign. “We thought it might he nice to do mountain scenes," she explained. Old Hollow Grocery is a three generation family operation. Arlene mans the cash register during the day while Don takes over at night and on weekends, doing double duty with his job at Ideas, Inc., in McLean. Dawn Keithley. a senior at Rappahannock County High School, alternates afternoons with her brother Paul, a junior at RCHS. Scott, a seventh grader at the elementary school, helps his father out on weekends. Having the store and selfservice gas pumps open everyday from 8:30 a.m. until >7 in the evening requires the cooperation of the entire Keithley family. Don's mother, Mrs. Mildred Keithley of Culpeper, makes the craft items that are currently displayed in the front window of the grocery. With knitting and sewing needles flying, she turns out stuffed animals, pillows, afghans—a whole array of colorful, handmade gift ideas. Mildred Keithley’s work will be moved to the little building next to the grocery during the spring and summer. Arlene doesn't expect to have any trouble filling up space in the gift shop: “My mother-in-law puts things out like she was on a production line." In addition to crafts, the gift shop will offer produce and apple products for sale. "We prefer buying from local people” who have extras V I m MARLON BRANDO GENE HACKMAN CHRISTOPHER REEVE ! from their gardens and orchards. Arlene said, adding that she'd already arranged with Betty Settle to handle her strawberries. Arlene also plans to sell her own homebaked bread as soon as the operation gets rolling.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1979 Enroll Now For Medicare Insurance People eligible for, but who do not have. Medicare medical insurance protection can enroll for it now through April 2. Bruce A. Hundley, social security manager in Culpeper, said recently. Those eligible to sign up during the 1979 general enrollment period include people 65 and over and disabled people who have Medicare hospital insurance but failed to sign up when they were first eligible, or who once had this protection but cancelled it. Protection will start July 1, 1979, for those who sign up during this time, Hundley said. The basic, monthly premium is $8.70 for the 12month period starting July 1. People who sign up during the general enrollment period may pay a higher premium if there was a period of 12 months or more during which they were eligible for medical insurance but did not have it. Even so, Hundley said, medical insurance represents a real bargain because the Federal Government pays over two-thirds of the total medical insurance premium out of general revenues. Medical insurance helps pay the cost of doctor bills and for other services and supplies not covered by Medicare hospital insurance. Full information about Medicare can be obtained at the Culpeper social security office.

The office is located at 522 Culpeper Shopping Center and the telephone number is 8253500. -Renovation Planned— plastic pipe adjacent to the new clerk’s office to carry off storm water drainage. Faulkner reported that Lantz Construction Company, contractors for the new clerk’s office, had estimated the cost of pipe and installation to be approximately $100. Faulkner complimented the builders of the new clerk's office, describing Lantz Construction as an “unusually good company" that provides “high quality craftsmanship” at reasonable prices. Storm Windows The architect explained that storm windows had been purposely left off the new clerk’s building because he didn’t want final construction costs to come in over the approved budget. He noted that storm windows could be installed after construction at a lower cost without figuring in the contractor’s overhead and profit. Faulkner questioned the cost benefit of adding storm windows at the new office building when window area comprises only 43/« per cent of the building’s surface. Storm windows, at approximately $50 a piece, provide a marginal cost benefit in a well-insulated building like the new clerk’s office, according to Faulkner. "And the cost benefit will be almost wiped out everytime anyone opens the front or back door,” he said, adding that a night setback thermostat prevented excessive heat loss at night. “Storm windows will give much greater benefit in the court house, the old clerk’s office ancTthe treasurer’s office,” Faulkner concluded. County engineer Fanning Baumgardner reported that he’d bring estimates on taking energy conservation measures, including blowing in ceiling insulation, to the court house and other county buildings, at the next board meeting. Fire Escape After Baumgardner informed the board that the state fire marshal had declared a rear fire escape from the upstairs court room to be unacceptable, the supervisors authorized the county engineer to investigate cost and design of a fire exit to be located at the front of the court house on the same side with the new clerk's office. Baumgardner said French doors could be used to provide access to the fire escape through front windows without changing the design of the window opening. The fire escape itself could consist of one flight of steps to a platform at the bottom. Cost would run from $1,800 to $2,500, depending on how ornate the supervisors wanted to make the wrought iron structure, said Baumgardner. In regard to another fire protection matter, the supervisors agreed to consider bids from four companies for fire insurance coverage on the court house as soon as they are received. Luke volunteered to relay information by telephone to the rest of the board members as the bids come in so a decision on a new policy can be reached before February 28, expiration date on the current policy. The supervisors unanimously approved a resolution proposed by resident highway engineer Don Askew to add new sections of Route 231 at Chester Gap to the county’s primary and secondary road systems while discontinuing old sections no longer needed with the new construction. Askew emphasized that the road sections were to be discontinued, not abandoned. With a discontinued road, right-of-way reverts back to the county, not to the private landowner, he noted. Askew also informed the board that discontinuance of maintenance on Route 609 for .5 mile (from Route 621 to the deadend) would be advertised for public hearing. He reported that no one lives on the section of road proposed to be discontinued. Askew announced that right-of-way plans for Route 610 had been recently approved. “We’ll be contacting property owners for a donation of right-of-way soon. If we’re successful, I anticipate an early advertisement (for public hearings on the project.) If we’re not successful, there could be some problems,” he said. Luke informed Askew that he’d received a letter of complaint from a property owner on the Old Hollow Road, charging that funds approved for paving that road had been spent elsewhere even though rightsof-way for widening the road had been donated. According to Luke, the author of the letter maintained he’d been told by Ask^w that improvements to the Old Hollow Road were to begin last fall. "It’s the next project we’ll start on once we finish our other obligations..in the next month or so,” Askew assured the supervisors. “We’ll try to get 18 feet of pavement (on the Old Hollow Road) but it’s going to be extremely tight,” the resident engineer concluded. In other action, the supervisors approved payment of $190 to Robert Settle for a steer calf killed by dogs on January 14. “I got a bunch of dogs," reported county dog warden Jack Bruce. “But I don't know if I got the dog that did the work.” Noting that thb calf had beeri' killfed oh Saturday, Bruce said he picked up several dogs in the area on Sunday. “Everything’s been quiet since,” he added. Nothing in this world is so powerful as an idea whose time has come. —Rappahannock News Photo/Daphne Hutchinson FORMER DEPUTY CLERK Eva Smith presented Judge Rayner V. Snead with a map of the county in behalf of Ned Jones, who served as Rappahannock’s clerk for 14 years until his retirement in July, 1977. Mrs. Smith made the presentation at the close of dedication ceremonies for the new clerk’s office. In addition to a large turn-out for the ceremonies, on Thursday morning a stream of people flowed through the building all day, admiring the new offices and sampling dozens of cookies baked by Mrs. Smith for the occasion. Delegate Reports Of all things! I went into the; Men’s Room at the General Assembly and they had put up a sign which had these words in red letters, ‘‘Please conserve paper products, your cooperation is needed.” These fellows down here are working on the wrong end. That sign belongs in the regulatory rooms of the state agencies or the bill room where bills are printed. A lijttle less of each and we would all be better off. Speaking of paper, the bills are rolling in by the bushel now—so fast that some committees have not given time for the removal of bugs. We had one tonight that ilasted over an hour with seven amendments while debate was going on. Most of the amendments could have been done in committee and saved time on the floor. It was ; a bill to exempt homebuilders from claims against construction after a year of warranty. 1 asked three different lawyers and got three different answers on the way back to the office. We really won’t know until tomorrow when the bill comes up for vote whether it is like it ought to be. A bill on new changes in the way Judges may handle divorce proceedings was passed after a lengthy debate. All of us husbands had better be real nice to our fine wives if this bill is passed by the Senate and signed by the Governor. Another bill that created quite a bit of discussion called for stiffer parole provision on repeat ottenders. There was no change on first time offenders, but criminals who are paroled and caught second, third, and fourth times will have to serve more time before parole will be granted in each case. Well, I guess you know by now I had a real hassle with the city boys down here over the Bingo Bill. They can’t seem to understand that we rural fellows know how to obey the law and can be trusted to continue doing so. They tried to put in an amendment to ban “instant bingo” and that’s when my “dander” got up. I admit, I may have become a little emotional and the. Media, here did not report If e*acHy the. way.,it was. They try to make ‘‘instant bingo” sound like a dirty word. A & P has been doing it for several years and now Safeway is in the act. Our District does not have the necessary volume of players to make regular George Beard bingo worthwhile after expenses. The amendment was defeated 52 to 37 and the next day the Bill passed 93 to 6. Now it's on the way to the Senate. I have testified three times for Paul of Rappahannock, Willie of Orange and Allen of Culpeper, all of whom have been down here at least once and I reckon I'll have to give it a go again when it appears before the Senate Committee. 1 am sure not going to quit now after clearing the urban hurdles up to this point. 1 can see a tough fight ahead on a bill to repeal the state tax on capital not otherwise taxed and to exempt totally from taxation intangible personal property now taxed. It will be a big help to industry both old and new. It seems that some of our adjoining states already have this. Our Finance Committee Chairman will blow a fuse when it reaches his full Committee. The bill was reported out by the subcommittee of which I happen to be a member and 1 can hardly wait to see the expression on the Chairman’s face. Even the Tax Department stated it was a difficult tax to collect and is costly for those who do the collecting. We have just been informed today by the Chairman of our Finance Committee that we will begin meeting Friday mortify at 9:00 a.m. until 11:00. go into Session, followed by an afternoon meeting till 6:00 p.m. Then we'll be at it again Saturday morning and all day Saturday and if all Finance Committee bills are not out by then, back again Sunday because the deadline is Monday on all House Bills. Next week we are supposed to start on Senate Bills. 1 told you that conserve paper sign was in the wrong place. See you next week. George P. Beard, Jr. —Subdivision Tabled If the subdivision is not approved, he continued, "my plans are to ask for a speedy and immediate trial" on two cases Goode currently has in court, both challenging the county’s denial of rezoning for the subdivision that Goode applied for two years ago. Chairman Luke informed Compton that he had a letter from the Rappahannock Planning Commission, stating that Goode’s subdivision did not substantially comply with ordinance regulations since a significant percentage of seven lots was over 14 percent slope. The slope, coupled with the amount of land in flood plain, leaves the lots substandard, according to the planners. Previously Approved "1 have difficulty in understanding that. The same identical plan was recommended for approval at one time to the Board of Supervisors (by the Planning Commission),” Compton responded. If an engineer would "use the necessary and correct instruments to determine slopes, he'd find that the lots comply (with slope requirements),” Compton added. He informed the supervisors that Goode had initially planned to have 15 lots in the development but had dropped one to meet slope requirements. (At a special meeting held March 3, 1977, the planners granted Goode’s preliminary plat "tentative recommended approval” providing the developer (1) substitute a culde-sac for right-of-way to adjoining property (2) indicate percentage of land over 14 percent slope in three lots (3) show adjacent landowners on the subdivision plat. At the planners’ regular meeting on April 20, 1977, they considered the final plat for Mountain Slopes subdivision but took no action, i noting that the erosion and sedimentation control plan for the development was "incomplete and improperly submitted." At this point, Goode had made the changes called for by the planners at the previous months session. In addition, the developer had deleted the subdivision’s 15th lot. At another special meeting on April 27, 1977, the planners voted to send Goode a letter, stating that his subdivision application was not in effect “until such time as the proposed physical improvements (including the soil erosion and sedimentation control plan) are received.” The following month, at a session on May 18, the planners again postponed action on the final plat, following Commonwealth Attorney George Davis’s advice that rezoning from agriculture and conservation to residential subdivision must precede consideration of a final plat. The planners also received recommendations from soil conservationist Bill Adams that Goode’s erosion and sedimentation control plan be amended to require (1) installation of a pad at the truck entrance (2) reseeding of cornfield (3) erection of a perimeter dike to control runoff into the Iordan River during house construction. At a public hearing on Mountain Slopes subdivision held June 9, 1977, the planners voted five to one to recommend denial of Goode’s rezoning application. After another public hearing in August, the Board of Supervisors turned down the rezoning with a three-to-two vote.) Approval Contingent On Adjustment* Luke, who also serves on the county Planning Commission, recalled that the approval granted Goode’s preliminary plat back in March, 1977, had been “contingent on more detail. All the Planning Commission members thought that some adjustment to the lots would be needed (in order to meet ordinance requirements on slope),” said Luke. Compton responded that he’d asked Goode’s engineers “to double check to make sure everything was in order (before applying for final plat approval) and they told me it was.’’ Erosion Controls Proposed In addition to the planners’ findings that the proposed subdivision doesn’t comply with ordinance regulations on slopes, Luke reported on a second letter—this one from soil conservationist Bill Adams — recommending changes in Goode’s erosion and sedimentation control plan for Mountain Slopes. Adams's suggestions included building an earthen perimeter dike between the Jordan River and subdivision home sites, reseeding bare space on three lots, graveling the sub-base in the road and mulching road banks immediately following grading, and treating gullies on two lots. “Unfortunately, we weren’t told of these suggestions until today,” said Compton. He maintained that there could be no question on approving his client’s rezoning application and added that any questions on slopes in the subdivision lots could be worked out jointly between Goode’s engineers and county engineer Fanning Baumgardner. “The slope question has never come up before," Compton continued. “We though any problems had been solved by dropping that 15th lot.” (At the May 18 meeting of the Planning Commission—two months after the 15th lot had been deleted from Goode’s final plat—the planners discussed excessive slopes with Goode’s engineer Jim Harris. At that time, Harris maintained that the intent of the ordinance was to T require less than 14 percent slope for the house and drainfield site only. Several of the planners disagreed with his interpretation, insisting that each lot must have five acres with no more than 14 percent sloped.) “The ordinance doesn’t really say what happens if a lot is over 14 percent slope,” Compton added. With slopes over 14 percent in an agricultural zone, a developer must go to 25-acre lot size, according to Luke. “That’s the rule,” he said, noting that rezoning to residential subdivision wouldn't override this minimum lot size. Goode interjected that Rosser Payne and other expert engineers had checked the subdivision plats twice “and they couldn’t find more than two acres over 14 percent.” Planning Commission chairman Herbert Barksdale responded that county engineer Fanning Baumgardner had found several lots with as much as 40 percent of their area over 14 percent slope. “According to our ordinances, we can’t approve (the subdivision)," Barksdale maintained. “It’s up to us to disapprove the subdivision if it’s proven to us that it doesn’t comply,” interjected supervisor Butch Eastham. “How many experts do we have to have to approve or disapprove? It looks to me like it would be a simple engineering feat to go in there and determine the slope of the land/' he said. “Are we liable for suit if we approve a subdivision that’s not in compliance with our ordinances?” asked supervisors H. B. Wood. “Paper Study” In response to a question from the board, Baumgardner explained that he used the contour map furnished by Goode’s engineers to measure the amount of land in each lot with slopes over 14 percent. “It was a paper study based on the data submitted by the owner," said Baumgardner, acknowledging that he hadn't made computations on the ground at the subdivision site. “Does the entire five acres (of each lot) or just a portion of it have to be under 14 per cent slope?” asked Dot Irvine. “All five acres has to be under 14 percent,” Luke replied. “I don’t read the ordinance that way,” countered Compton. “It says 14 percent but it doesn’t say how much. Five acres is a lot of land,” he said, adding that the house and drainfield sites are the only areas that need to be under 14 percent slope since they are the only parts of the lot where land will be disturbed. Prior to reaching a decision on Goode’s applications for rezoning and final plat approval, the supervisors—with Commonwealth Attorney George Davis—retired to executive session. "On the basis that there are two active cases before the court, we’ll have our discussion in executive session and announce our Final decision,” Luke explained. Over an hour later, the supervisors came back to an open meeting. Luke reported that Goode would have to revise his development proposal so that each lot in the subdivision contained five acres with slopes under 14 percent. In addition, said Luke, Goode would have to amend his erosion and sedimentation control plan to incorporate Bill Adams’s recommendations and would have to post performance and maintenance bonds as provided for in county ordinances. Legal Advice Ignored? In deciding on their action, the supervisors apparently disregarded advice from Commonwealth Attorney George Davis. In • memorandum handed out to the board members during executive session, Davis concluded that Goode’s proposed subdivision “substantially complies with the Rappahannock County Comprehensive Land Use Plan as embodied in, (a) Rappahannock County Subdivision Ordinance of 1973; (b) Rappahannock County Zoning Ordinance of 1973; and (c) Soil, Erosion and Sedimentation Ordinance of 1975 ... It further appears that the proposed Subdivision will not adversely affect or damage the public health, safety, and general welfare of persons visiting or residing in Rappahannock County.” Davis quotes a letter dated February 27, 1978, from “Rosser H. Payne, Jr., A.l.P. land planning and rezoning expert,” after an on-site inspection, examination of Goode’s rezoning and subdivision application, and "careful review of local ordinances.” In the letter, Payne reports that the 73.9 acre tract has an average slope of less than 10 percent overall with individual lot slope average ranging between 6 percent to 13 percent for an average of between 7 percent and 12 percent overall. Payne also notes that no development was proposed within the confines of the Jordan River floodplain and no proposed house or drainfield location was within 100 feet from the floodplain limits. As part of his memorandum, Davis included a resolution approving the final site plan for Mountin Slopes subdivision and an amendment to the county zoning ordinance, rezoning Goode's property to residential subdivision.) Five Acres Under 14 Percent If a small stream with banks over 14 percent slope goes across one corner, “are you going to throw the whole lot out?" asked Compton. “Each lot roust have five acres under 14 percent slope,” Luke repeated. 1 "That don’t sound right, Goode complained. “Thre’s no way, unless the land is perfectly flat, that we’re going to be able to do that,” Mrs. Goode agreed. “There is a way but you’re probably going to have to adjust the number of lots,” answered Luke. “I made adjustments. 1 took out one lot (because of slope). Then you did a reverse on me,” Goode argued. “This is the first time this plat has come under consideration by this board," Luke said, emphasizing that the supervisors’ public hearing in August, 1977, had concerned Goode’s rezoning application only and not a preliminary or final plat. "In the past, there’ve been only one or two people in your favor,” said the supervisor chairman. "If you make these adjustments, 1 think that everyone will go along with you . . . It’s a compromise. If you don't agree, you’ll have to take it through the • court," Luke told Goode. “There are more votes involved than mine,” he continued. “Either you do something to get them or you don’t. It's up to you.” “There’s information in this court house that states that none of these lots are in excess of 14 percent," interjected Mrs. Goode. “Our information came from our county engineer,’’countered Luke, describing Baumgardner as a “registered professional...a very capable guy." Even if Baumgardner’s figures showing one fiVe-acre lot with 40 percent of its area over 14 percent slope are correct, “that still leaves three acres under 14 percent,” argued Compton. “You can put your building site there, your drainfield there, and the rest won't be disturbed." Not Good Sense “This don’t make good sense to me,” said Goode, noting that Baumgardner’s figures for the entire subdivision might show 10 » i .A percent ui me /o an cs uvci 14 percent slope. Mr. (Rosser) Payne calculated it out and he couldn’t find more than three percent," Goode insisted. Mrs. Goode charged that the county had handled its • deliberations on Mountain Slopes subdivision “haphazardly". She said that Baumgardner, when approached in the downstairs hall during the supervisors' executive session, couldn't remember how he’d arrived at his conclusions on the amount of land over 14 percent slope in each lot. Luke repeated that Baumgardner was a qualified, professional engineer with wide experience. The compromise requiring additional protection against erosion and stipulations that each lot to have five acres under 14 per cent slope was “the best course of action to uphold the zoning ordinance and give you your rights," he told Goode. The developer replied that his engineers and Baumgardner "should go out together (to the subdivision site) and work this thing out." “We have no objections to that.” Luke responded, adding that Goode had 30 days in which to bring his revised subdivision proposals back to the board for action. “There’s no way I’m going to keep coming back here," Goode countered. “Shis county as a whole don’t w^jt no subdivisions, don’t want no growth. 1 have a certain number of rights and I’m not getting them from this county," he concluded. Later, Compton guessed that the requirement for each lot to contain five acres under 14 per cent slope would force Goode to delete two more lots, bringing the total in the proposed subdivision to 12. Compton predicted his client would find that the smaller subdivision wasn't economically feasible and would therefore proceed with the court suits, scheduled for hearing on March 12.

Cox reported that Rappahannock County will have $331,000 in leftover funds this year. Subtracting amounts in school construction and multipurpose general funds, Cox said, would leave $150,000 available for appropriation. “That’s a cushion that you may need to be able to justify,” he warned the board. According to Cox, a capital improvements program would provide the necessary justification for carry-over funds. He suggested that the supervisors schedule a discussion on how to proceed on a capital improvements program for the April 5 board meeting. “You need to get some idea of what your capital needs will be in the next five years,” he maintained. “It may not be this year that the state takes away your surplus from you but the time is coming,” he warned. . » Budget Requests Due Cox detailed a budget work schedule that calls for requests from all department heads for fiscal year 1979-80 to be in not later than April 1.

After completing his yearly audit, Cox said he found the county's records in their “usual good condition. In fact, they're improving somewhat," he added. Cox gave the credit for this to county employees in charge of each department's financial records. Supervisor chairman E. P. Luke reported that Rappahannock could expect to get additional revenue this year through “in lieu of taxes” payments from the federal government on federally owned land. According to Luke, Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson will introduce legislation calling for a reinterpretation of the ‘in lieu of taxes” program. Last year, the Interior Department interpreted the program to MERRILL LEFfLER books will be available for purchase at the programs and she will be available for autographs.

As a result, Rappahannock and other neighboring counties with land in Shenandoah National Park weren't compensated for acreage that went from private to state to federal ownership. Luke said Robinson had indicated that Rappahannock was due more money than the countyreceived last year. He added that the Interior Department also recognized the inequity of last year’s interpretation of the “in lieu of taxes" program. scout Week Scout uniforms should be in evidence today, Thursday, as the anniversary of Scouting is celebrated by units in Rappahannock who join Scouts throughout the Nation in the observance of Scout Week.

By NANCY SECRIST VPI Extension Agent Interested in ways to save energy while cooking? Meals prepared in a single appliance can save energy, cut electric bills and reduce preparation time. Making use of oven space, electric skillets, pressure cookers and slow cookers are four ways to save. If planning to use the oven for one dish, why not use it for the whole meal? Beef roast, potatoes, carrots, baked apples and hot rolls can all be prepared with one oven heating. Place roast, quartered potatoes and sliced carrots in a dutch oven or roaster pan. Drop apples into a ten inch skillet, cake or pie pan, depending on the amoung needed. Oven cooking time will depend on roast size and desired doneness. On the average, each pound of beef roast requires about 25 minutes cooking time in a 325 degree oven for medium doneness. Apples take about 45 minutes to bake, so adjust entry time accordingly. When the roast is taken out to slice, put precooked rolls in and turn oven off or turn oven to .375 degrees for uncooked rolls. Next week I'll feature a recipe for an inexpensive skillet dinner. A delicious dessert for your energy-conscious oven meal could be this delicious pound cake. POUND CAKE Mrs. Claudia Putnam Flint Hill.

Feed, accounting for over 14.8 per cent of the total, was the major expenditure, followed by livestock and poultry purchases at 10.4 per cent; rent at 8.3 per cent; wages at 8.1 per cent; and fertilizer, lime, and soil conditioners at 7.0 per cent. During February and March, enumerators from the Virginia Crop and Livestock Reporting Service will interview a cross section of Virginia farmers as part of a nationwide program to determine 1978 production costs. Clarence Dunkerley, Virginia agricultural statistician, notes that along with questions concerning outlays for equipment. services, and other production needs, some fanners will be asked about the kinds of places where they buy feed, fbel, fertilizer, pesticides, feeder animals, and other major production inputs. Dunkerley points out that information about farm production outlays is important in comparing the farmer’s well-being with that of other groups in the nation’s economy. He adds that all responses will be confidential and only state and national summaries will be published.
