As of June 30, 1979, the county has been without a dump—either private or public—where trash can be disposed of legally. Rappahannock’s dilemma over what to do with its garbage came to a head in late 197b when the Orange County dump was closed to out-of-county contractors. The action left Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Updike of Community Trash, the holders of the county's trash disposal contract, without a waste disposal site. After first rejecting property near Boston as unsuitable, the board of zoning appeals granted a special use permit to Clifton and June Clark in February, 1977. to have a landfill on eight acres located on Rudasill’s Mill Hoad near Woodville. Conditions set by the BZA limited use to a 30-month period “subject to redetermination prior to June 30, 1979." According to zoning administrator Evan McNear, no application for renewal of the permit has been received to date by the zoning office. In addition to the time limit, other conditions set by the BZA restricted the landfill to private use for disposal of Rappahannock trash only. It was also stipulated that waste disposal operations were to meet state approval. In issuing the special use permit for only 30 months, the BZA members were apparently influenced by adjoining landowners, including national columnist James J. Kilpatrick. In a letter endorsed by all but one of the landowners contingent to the Clark property, Kilpatrick wrote that he would not object if landfill operations were restricted, carefully monitored and allowed for only a 30-month period. ‘‘Rappahannock trash must be disposed of somewhere and if we put up with the nuisance now perhaps others may be agreeable toward sharing the obligation in the future,” Kilpatrick wrote. John Schafer, the one contiguous landowner who did not sign the petition favoring use of the site, requested that the BZA issue the special use permit for the limited term proposed. “I think you’ll have some real opposition the next time this permit comes up. We’re upset and so we can’t endorse it but we don’t oppose it either on a limited basis,” Schafer stated at the February, 1977, BZA meeting. Since approval of the now expired special use permit, both the planning commissioners and the supervisors have discussed and inspected prospective locations for a county-owned dump. No action has been initiated, however, to purchase land for waste disposal. Almost Anything Goes Shannon Streagle of Amissville left Tuesday from National Airport for New Haven. Conn, where she will spend three weeks par ticipating in ‘‘Almost Anything Goes", a Girl Scout International Camping Event. Shannon will visit two host families, spending a week with each and the third week will be spent at Camp Seeley with Girl Scouts and Girl Guides from all fifty states and several foreign countries. Americans enjoyed for over 200 years are deteriorating, according to Mr. Carrigan. It is the hope on this 204th anniversary of the Declaration made by the Continental Congress, that in Washington, Virginia the spark of patriotism will keep the flame of freedom lit in our hearts, he said. This is the hope of Mr. and Mrs. Carrigan as they cordially invite the people of Rappahannock to celebrate the Fourth of July in Washington on the hills surrounding Avon Lake; to bring their families and their picnic baskets and enjoy the evening. Parking space is available on Main and Gay streets and entrance to the grounds at Avon Hall is by the town monument. Bring a blanket or folding chairs and make yourself comfortable, urged the Carrigans. Please use the trash containers conveniently located for leftovers and trash. Mr. Carrigan requests that no fireworks be set off prior to the program, nor anywhere in the crowd. This can be dangerous and annoying to other attending. Health Permit Revised Camp Meeting Goes On As Scheduled By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Mew* Staff Writer The Nationwide Pentacostal Evangelistic Association's camp meeting got under way as scheduled last Friday, despite the restraining order issued :arlier in the week by Judge Shore Robertson and upheld by the Virginia Supreme Court. Robertson’s restraining order of June 17 specifically enjoined the NPEA from conducting its annual holiness camp meeting from June 20-29 at the Association's property on Route 622 near Castleton. Appealed to the Supreme Court of Virginia by the NPEA on June 18, the decision handed down by Robertson was affirmed by Justices Poff and Compton. Then Thursday afternoon in his chambers in Warrenton, Judge Robertson granted, as he explained it, a request from NPEA attorney Jonathan Lynn “to amend the restraining order to provide more specific language as to what activities are being restrained." According to Lynn, he did not have an opportunity on June 17 to review the order drafted by David Konick. lawyer for the landowners opposing the NPEA camp meeting. "In the rush, certain things were overlooked," he told Robertson. Lynn asked that the terminology of Robertson's injunction be clarified as to "scope," maintaining that rights not granted by the board of zoning appeals' order were not before the court. He requested that the restraining order be revised to enjoin only the proceedings covered under the terms of the BZA order. Arguing against the change, Konick maintained that it is an error for the court to amend or dissolve an injunction prior to an answer from the opposing party. He noted that the Virginia Code allows any party the right to petition the Supreme Court for review of a restraining order, stating the grounds on which they feel they are aggrieved. Konick pointed out that Lynn challenged only the granting of the restraining order on the basis of denial of due process—not the scope of the order itself. Already Amended He also recalled that Lynn made numerous changes in the order when it was first drafted and presented to Robertson on Tuesday. After the deletions insisted upon by Lynn, “the court preferred the order back to both counsels for final approval." Konick said. “Mr. Lynn stated on Tuesday that he had ‘no problem’ with the wording...It would be an absolute miscarriage of justice for the court to go ahead and change it at this time," he argued. “The Association now wants to make a distinction between religious services and a campground that they've never made before." Holding the camp meeting will mean that approximately 400 people will be congregating for daytime and evening services, spiflitfg 4,000 gallons of sewage on the ground from a septic system overloaded 28 times past capacity according to expert testimony. Konick stated. "If they have religious services, they think they can get away with that.” he added. Konick noted that the wording on the restraining order—Nationwide Holiness Campground Camp Meeting—was taken directly from flyers sent out by the NPEA publicizing the tenday event. The specific wording also reflects the testimony of Rev. L. D. Savage, president of the NPEA, on what the association was attempting to do on its Castleton property, he added. As for the scope of the challenged variance granted by the BZA. Konick argued that the board's order was “at best, ambiguous...It never says what the variance was granted for.” In addition. he pointed out that the BZA's records of the two meetings on the NPEA variance request were not before the court at the insistence of Lynn and Rappahannock commonwealth's attorney Douglas Baumgardner. Therefore. Konick maintained, there's no evidence on what specifically the Association was asking for from the BZA. "A campground and seasonal campers.*’ interjected second NPEA attorney Ben Jones, taking his information from the application for a variance or special use permit submitted initially by the Association. Konick informed Robertson that the application mentioned both variance and special use permit because the NPEA wasn't sure when applying as to the exact zoning of its nine acres. He asked that Robertson take “judicial notice" that the property had been rezoned to residential subdivision, according to minutes of the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors. Litigation On RS-1 Jones requested that Robertson also take judicial notice of the omission of both uses allowed by right and special permitted uses from the residential subdivision district. “There will be (Continued on Page 10) Amendments Proposed To Plug Loopholes “Shocked" by the discovery of a serious omission in the county's zoning ordinance, the Rappahannock planning commissioners at their June 18 meeting hammered out a proposed amendment to the section covering residential subdivisions. Commissioner Newbill Miller noted that the zoning ordinance's residential subdivision district (RS-1) doesn’t list uses permitted by right or uses permitted by special permit, regulations which are included for the rest of the county's zoning districts. According to Miller, he first became aware of the handling of a variance request from the Nationwide Pentecostal Evangelistic Association. "I've reviewed this thing and it's the first time I've picked this up." he maintained. Pete Estes. BZA representative on the planning commission, said it was "quite a shock" when his board discovered the omission. “Yes. it was quite a shcok to me, too." Miller agreed, adding that the discovery supported his oft repeated contention that laws are too complicated for laymen to write. Estes noted that under the current regulations in RS-1, anything constructed in the uy cmui iamcr aisinci. liiiiuumg a than intent” with the board requires a variance from the of zoning appeals' (BZA) BZA. i ti a .1 WAKEFIELD’S 1980 GRADUATING CLASS presented with faculty and Mr. Raymond Guest, Jr., commencement speaker, are as follows, from left, first row; Mrs. Mary Jane Reynolds, Director of Public Relations, Mr. Guest, Dr. William E. Lynn, Headmaster; Ivan Borrello, Anne Hawkins,,Tiffany Clouser, Mary Noel Connors, Denis Dierig, Susan Courtney, Williajp Talley. See Story, Page 3. / Basing his position on the RS-1 statement of intent. Miller maintained that it could be interpreted to allow single family residences without a variance. Regarding the omission of a specific listing of uses allowed by right and with a special permit. Miller stated that “someone made the implication that it was planned that way." He emphasized again that the omission occurred through oversight, not by design. Review'ftatire Ordinance "We ought to plug that hole right away and then look at the ordinance in detail and not feel rushed about it." Miller continued, suggesting a comprehensive review of Rappahannock's zoning and subdivision laws. As for uses allowed by right and with a special permit in RS-1. “we can put things in that are obviously safe and amend it later if we need to," he said. As a start. Miller proposed allowing single family residences and accessory buildings by right. "Maybe certain types of agricultural practices should be allowed,” he said, noting that lot size in RS-1 varies from five acres to 80 acres, large enough to conduct farming operations. He added, however, that more intensiye agricultural enterprises/specifically hog lots, aren't compatible with residential uses and therefore shouldn't be permitted. "Hogs ought not to be allowed anywhere,” joked Dick Latham, setting off a round of chuckles from the rest of the planning commissioners. Although some agricultural uses operations clash with residential uses. Miller, said, all agriculture shouldn't be banned from RS-1 without a special permit. “Hog pens or no hog pens," Walter Masterson added with a laugh. He agreed, however, that other (Continued on I^ge 2)

County Gets ABC Shares Rappahannock County will receive $2,527 as its share of profits generated by Virginia's Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control for the third quarter (January-March. 1980) of the 1979-80 fiscal year.

"Should any forms of agriculture be permitted by right?" asked Miller. “Or what else should be permitted by right?” Second Loophole With no suggestions from the other commissioners. Miller proposed closing a second "loophole" in RS-1 at the same time that uses allowed by right and with a special permit are added. "We should put a minimum lot size in RS-1." he said, noting that while the intent is to keep minimum size at five acres, if a developer puts in public water and sewer, lot size can theoretically come down to one or two acres. (Miller pointed out this same RS-1 “loophole" almost three years ago at the planning commission's July 20. 1977. meeting. Then, in May. 1978. the planners recommended adoption of a minimum lot size for the district after a public hearing on that issue and on rezoning of James S. Dawson's Huntly subdivision. The supervisors, however, only advertised for and acted on Dawson's subdivision rezoiiing and not on mimimum RS-1 lot size at their July 13. 1978. meeting.) Gardena By Right After further discussion on possible conflict between residential uses and intensive agricultural operations, the commissioners agreed to allow forestry, gardens (home vegetable), small grains and hay by right in RS-1 while limiting special permitted uses to agriculture (except hogs), home occupations conducted by the occupant and public utilities —distribution poles, lines, pipes, transformers, meters and other related facilities necessary for local service—for the provision and maintenance of local area public utilities including water and sewer distribution facilities (underground where possible). "I think what we’ve done is let (the landowner in RS-1) have three or four cows, a vineyard or a horse with a special use permit." Miller said. Scheduling a public hearing on the amendments for July 16. the planners agreed that the four weeks’ time would give them an opportunity to come up with more ideas on how to word the uses allowed by right so as to include non-intensive agricultural practices that are compatible with residential uses. Masterson emphasized that residential uses, in a residential subdivision district, should receive more emphasis and protection than farming operations. "The residential should come first and the agricultural second." he said. He maintained that both uses allowed by right and with a special permit should be kept as general as possible until the commissioners consult with the commonwealth's attorney on wording. "Keep in mind that the BZA doesn't legislate (in issuing special use permits and variances to the zoning ordinance). We can only interpret what you mean." Estes added. Addressing the proposed amendments to the zoning ordinance's RS-1 district. Allen Stokes facetiously warned that "when you have your public hearing, you're going to have hogs by the tail." "Someone will say we wouldn't be against hogs if they weren't selling for 13 cents per pound!" Miller joked. Administrator’s Authority Commissioner chairman • V.W.

Barksdale suggested that a third amendment be considered to change the zoning ordinance paragraph "that the zoning administrator hangs just anything on ...The paragraph he harps on all the time that gives him the authority to do most anything." Barksdale thumbed through the ordinance. looking for the section he was referring to but couldn't find the specific paragraph. In beginning their detailed review of the county ordinances set to start after the RS-1 “loophole" is plugged, the planning commissioners agreed to ask the commonwealth's attorney, zoning administrator and board of zoning appeals to submit recommendations for changes. To speed along the “detailed, laborious task” of review. Miller indicated that the planning commissioners might split into groups with several commissioners working in the court room while the rest go over the ordinance in the jury room.

As much as you can afford IF you are doing it for your own enjoyment and don’t plan to move for a long time. However, if you plan to make major improvements in order to get a better price when you sell. it often is economically unwise. Seldom do such improvements bring more than fifty cents on the dollar spent to make them. And all bets are off if you overvalue your house in relation to other houses in the neighborhood. An old real estate axiom says, in effect, that few people will spend $80,000 for a house in a $60,000 neighborhood. That's virtually irue regardless oi now large or good a house it may be. The addition of an extra bedroom, in-ground swimming pool or central air conditioning, will increase the value of your home- But usually at a fraction of the cost. About the only money you should spend on a house to sell it at a higher price is for repairs and decorating that are obviously needed to put your best foot forward.

While there they were joined for a day by some of the Garden Club members. Nature Camp, skirted by Big Mary's Creek and located in a lovely, little valley between Mine and McClunt mountains in the George Washington National Forest, is midway between Lexington and Staunton. The camp was established in 1941 by the Virginia Federation of Garden Clubs, Inc. "This camp is a place where young Americans can learn the intricate interrelationship between living things and their environment. Its purpose is to create a corps of interested and knowledgeable young citizens who will continue the fight to make our world a better place in which to live," said club spokeswoman, Peggy Pryde. Campers choose a major field of interest to pursue and Jennifer and Courtney chose limnology, the study of fresh water streams. They also participated in other activities, as bird watching, music and singing, hiking and mountain climbing, swimming and games. Nature Camp has a well equipped library, laboratory and museum. Rappahannock County Garden Club earns the funds necessary to sponsor campers from the annual Christmas wreath and greens sale. The News From Boston By MRS.

For extra dash, alternate the cork with mirror tiles for a lighter, brighter effect. Cork and mirror dies are both generally twelve inches square and not very expensive. A cork background also provides a pinup surface for prints. It is possible to carpet walls as well as the floor in noisy areas turning the room into a coxy, peaceful cocoon. A false wall is sometimes in order as well. It is easily created by padding a row of screens with thin layers of foam rubber and stretch fabric.

A few weeks ago. Williams received his diploma in general business, earning the distinction of being one of the oldest graduates in the history of the Middletown community college. John Williams may be 72 years old but he’s still a school boy at heart. Williams was born and reared in Rappahannock, the fourth of seven children of J. L. and Louemma Williams whose home place is in Tiger Valley near Washington. When he began school in the county, the seprate-but-equal doctrine, much less integration, was still decades into the future. For black children, formal education at the secondary level was nonexistent. ‘‘In 1924, I went to Hampton Institute. a boarding school. There was no high school for blacks." Williams recalled. Interested in building trades, he mastered the art of bricklaying and in 1928, left Hampton for a construction job with a Front Royal manufacturing plant. But the depression interrupted and his job. along with millions of others throughout the United States, dissolved into the unemployment lines. “1 realized I just had to get more education in order to get somewhere,” Williams said. With the backing of his family and $5 in his pocket, he entered Virginia State College in 1931 but after two years, his carefully planned future again dissolved, this time with the death of his father. "As the oldest boy. I had to come back to take charge of the farm,", he said. Serving as caretaker for the family property, he also worked as a bricklayer, struggling in the throes of the depression to keep his people together. Back To School With the onset of World War II, defense jobs opened up and Williams was able to gain work as a welder in Philadelphia. Close to so many institutions of higher learning in the City of Brotherly Love, Williams was again snagged by the lure of education. He enrolled in Temple University and finished there in 1948, qualifying for associate membership in the American Society of Heating and Ventilation Engineers. Next, he signed up for additional technical courses at the University of Pennsylvania. But John Williams wasn’t satisfied with knowing the ins and outs of heating systems and air conditioners. He needed more than expertise with bricks and mortar for self-fulfillment. Always a deeply religious person with strong ties to his Baptist heritage, Williams entered Manna Bible Institute, graduating in 1958. The pull towards home brought him to Washington, D.C.. where he spent a decade in the building business, and finally back to Rappahannock in 1969. “My mother was getting feeble ipd as the oldest son, 1 felt er place was in my home,” lie explained. That year. Williams and his wife started their own house. The long years spent mastering the construction trade from masonry to air conditioners were put to good use as Williams was able to do just about everything himself. Back To Studies After putting up a home from foundation to roof, most 67-year-old men would be ready for retirement in the front porch rocker but John Williams still heard school bells ringing, calling him to class at Lord Fairfax Community College over the mountains in Middletown. "Being in charge of the farm acreage, I wanted to be more knowledgeable about real estate and land.” Williams explained. In addition, a legal dispute with the county over dividing the property between the seven Williams heirs steered him towards zoning issues, he added. Going back to school as a senior citizen wasn't easy. Williams recalled his nervousness over competing for grades with youngsters just out of high school. At 67, he weighed his reservations against his thirst for knowledge and the scales tipped in favor of learning. ”1 didn’t take courses indiscriminately just to be taking something,” he said. "AH my courses were related to the business 1 was interested in. .. I started off taking what I wanted to know about and then fit it into a curriculum with required studies." One of the required courses was a class in college reading. “I had some difficulty when it began to get complex. You know, at my The Little Fox i — Rappahannock News Photo*/Daphne Hutchinson JOHN WILLIAMS may see himself as an old country boy, but not too many country boys—or anyone else for that matter—earn college degrees and start brand new careers when they are 72 years old. age, the reflexes aren’t so good,” he smiled. Williams said he talked to his professor and admitted that he just might be too old for college after all. “The instructor pooh-poohed it. He treated me just like one of the kids instead of like an old man and I did all right." John Williams did more than just all right, judging from the framed certificates and diplomas that hang in his Tiger Valley home. In 1978, he earned his certificate in real estate sales and followed that up the next term with certification in supervision and brokerage. Armed with the expertise he gained at Lord Fairfax. Williams attacked the color barrier in real estate, the county’s biggest business. An associate with Peggy Clark's Rappahannock Realty in Flint Hill, John Williams is the first black agent licensed in the county. Although he’d achieved his goal to be ‘‘more knowledgeable about real estate and land,” Williams still wasn’t through. "I took some mechanical courses—I was having trouble with my chainsaw and I wanted to learn how to fix it.” This year, he completed the requirements for another course of study and earned his diploma in general business. An Expert Himself A tour of the Williams’ back yard is enough to convince the beginning gardener that John Williams knows more than enough to teach a course or two himself. “I’m just an old country boy," Williams modestly responded when complimented on his green thumb. With the greenhouse he built as centerpiece, the family vegetable plot extends in row after row out to every side, all neat and weed-free with enough produce to stock two or three farmers markets. Everything is grown from seed, the extra plants parceled out tp neighbors, friends and family. Fruit trees, heavy with peaches and apples, stand off to one side, trellises support grape vines and flowers in beds scattered around the yard and bordering the driveway burst with color. Roses—deep crimson, blood red, blushing pink, creamy ivory and sunshine yellow—are obviously the family favorite. As with his pursuit of education, gardening is more than a free-time hobby for John Williams. He puts the same energy behind the trowel and hoe that he devotes to his books, getting the same first class results with both. But for all the hours he devotes to the earth, gardening takes second place to learning. It was learning that drew Williams to Lord Fairfax at the outset. It's learning plus something more that has kept him at his studies long past the age when the obituary page replaces school books as the top choice in reading material. "In school. I’m always with young people. Folks my age talk ‘old talk'—they’ve got a pain here, got a pain there, got this sickness or that sickness. It makes you feel old just to listen. I'm still learning, still with young people. Learning is fun and it keeps me a little bit young myself.” Menu Sursum Cor da June 30, July 1-4 Monday Fish sticks, cole slaw, hushpuppies, pineapple slices, milk. Tuesday Red, cream cheese sandwich. potato salad, peaches, milk. Wednesday Chicken and Almond Rice, peas with butter, whole wheat muffins, applesauce, milk.

Friday Closed Letters Generous Gifts To the editor: The Washington Volunteer Fire Department recently benefited from two generous gifts, and I would like to express our thanks publicly. The Ladies Auxiliary of the WVFD presented us with a check from the proceeds of the Thrift Shop and their other fund raising efforts. This group, under the leadership of Ruth Clark, works hard all year round and their contribution at this time is particularly helpful. We also received from June Jordan the proceeds of the recycling center, which is now located at the new fire house. June’s generosity is sincerely appreciated. We urge all citizens of Rappahannock County to bring their newspapers and aluminum cans to the recycling center, and we thank those who have done so in the past year. The Washington Volunteer Fire Department is facing a severe ftinds shortage. The donations from June Jordan and the Ladies Auxiliary are a big help, but with today's prices and inflation, that money will be gone all too soon. Like all the county’s departments, we receive no operating funds from the county, and we receive no pay or reimbursement for ourselves. We are ready to respond day or night, whenever and wherever we are needed, and we ask only that the people of Rapahannock support us through their donations. It is only in this way that we can continue to be of service to the county. ALLAN RYAN President, WVFD Water System Ills To the editor: On Thursday night (619-80) the Washington Volunteer Fire Department tested several pieces of fire equipment. In the process they discovered that two lengths of hose were not usable (they failed under water pressure). As a result of the test using a fire hydrant in the Town of Washington, the Town water became muddy. This always happens when a fire hydrant is opened in town. Evidently someone complained about the muddy water to a Town official. It is my understanding that the Fire Department has since been told by this ‘‘official’’ not to use the Town water system in the future unless they absolutely have to do so. It seems to me that this “official" is confused about the complaint lodged last week. The problem is the water system, not the Fire Department. Much discussion has been heard in years past about the deplorable state of the Town water system and the need for repair. It seems idiotic to me to deal with the problem by limiting the one resource we all have to save our homes in the event of fire when what we need is some action taken to update and repair the existing water system. I sincerely hope the members of the Fire Department do not listen to this “official”; that they continue to test their equipment so they will be prepared if there is a fire in town. I also sincerely hope that the Town Council of Washington will look seriously at the problem of a failing water system and move toward solution of the problems involved. Some people may think it admirable that our present Mayor does not want any Federal funding for the water system. 1 wonder how admirable this stand will seem when we are all relying on polluted wells for our water supply. We may not be too far from that point now. 1 would like to urge concerned residents of Washington, Virginia to contact Town Council and ask for some resolution to the problems of the water system.

The Green Machine is two-cycle, gaspowered, powerful. And completely portable, so it goes wherever the job is. And it features TFCtm Tap-For-Cord. Just a light tap on the ground releases fresh cutting string when you need it, while the head continues to run at full cutting speed. But that’s not all.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture, as a first step, advises everyone to have a will. A will allows an orderly transfer of wealth to heirs with a minimum of confusion and expense. Wills also can perform other duties such as keeping a family business in operation, naming guardians for minor children, or creating trusts for their care until they are old enough to take control of family assets. Wills are a basic tool. Parents should remember that it is important for each spouse to have a will. There’s trouble if the surviving spouse dies without one as only the longer surviving parent usually can name a guardian for the children. It is estimated that over half of the persons dying have no legal will. Before modern pension plans and Social Security, a family's wealth was in the land. Parents passed this along in a ‘‘family annuity” where children supported parents during retirement in exchange for title to family land. These days, family assets are far more diverse and more difficult to transfer. A legal process called probate usually freezes assets while debts are paid and clear title is established for real estate. In addition to legal expenses involved, the delay and uncertainty of the probate process can be disruptive to the family. Another method for providing for dependents is a trust. A trust gives a person (such as a family friend) or a corporation (such as a bank) the power to administer assets on your behalf. Trusts created in a will can support children while retaining control of family assets until they reach maturity. Trusts created during a person's lifetime can distribute portions of the assets should the individual die while the trust is in effect. This procedure is advantageous for several reasons. There's the comfort that assets will be distributed according to the person's wishes and without probate. And. without the lengthy and public probate process, the estate can be handled privately. Good estate planning can minimize many problems and it is something that everyone should do. +++ + Life is thickly sown with thorns, and I know no other remedy than to pass quickly through them. The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us. —Voltaire There’s A Long, Long Trail —Rappahannock New* Photo/S.

"The most astonishing thing I've discovered on the trip is how limited the crossings of the Mississippi River are. Bridges are few and ferries are small and often not running. We crossed at Natchez, then followed the • Natchez Trace north. We went through Tennessee and into North Carolina, up the Blue Ridge Parkway, to Skyline Drive, off at Panorama and into Sperryville." “You meet people, make friends, and they in turn give you travel tips". John continued. "A family in Jackson, Miss, put us up for the night and we spent a night in a dormitory at Jefferson College. There is a lady in Afton. Jane Curry, who provides lodging without charge, serves cookies and lemonade to weary cyclists. She’s just great. Of course we gave her something, though she has no fee. We heard about her from cyclists from two different people on the way. long before we were near Afton," he concluded. Gina said they started out at just the right time, during the strawberry season and they have enjoyed them all along the way. eating them for breakfast and keeping some for supper in their water bottles. Their provisions include a tent, sleeping bags and pads, rain gear, a few tools, spare tire and tube and a small white gas stove for cooking one-pot meals. Stores are usually convenient where fruit and cookies are available and lunch meats can be purchased. We carry about three days supply of oatmeal with us. Bananas and cookies are especially good when traveling, they said. . John is 28. and attended Rice University in Houston. He is between jobs, having just terminated employment with Gulf Oil. “I’m trying to decide what to do next^ perhaps library work,” hi said. 1 Gina, also a Rice graduate; is 26 and is doing graduate work at the University of Houston and must conclude her trip in time to register fot; the fall semester. ) They were accompanied to Sperryville by Gina’s sister, Amy Billington, who left by plane for the return trip home.

Konick maintained that conditions attached by the BZA to the temporary variance—requiring that amplification "for religious services" be turned off after 10 p.m. and limiting attendance at “religious services" to 400—was clear evidence that the BZA understood the campground was to be used for religious services, not just as a campground. "I'd like a ruling from this court on just what is restrained...that they’re restrained from camping AND religious services." Konick charged that the NPEA. with a request for rewording the restraining order. was "trying to maneuver this court into making technical changes to allow these people to do exactly what they intended to do from the beginning... Evidently, it's important to them to have at least the appearance of legality." Agreeing with Lynn that the court can't restrain any activities beyond those authorized in the BZA variance. Robertson asked Konick how a change in the wording of the restraining order would "do violence" to his clients. "It doesn’t say that they can't have the Nationwide Holiness Campground camp meeting." Konick answered. Robertson agreed but added that the order will still enjoin any rights conferred by the BZA’s variance. Services Covered? "In your view, are religious services included in the BZA order?" asked Konick. "They can't have that..." Robertson began. “Now wait a minute your honor." interrupted Jones. He maintained that the variance covered only the right to have a seasonal campground. According to Jones, his clients “went along with the other restrictions—which, quite frankly. 1 don’t think the board of zoning appeals had the right to impose—"simply to gain authorization for the campground. "They’re restrained only from the use of that property as a campground," he concluded. Robertson repeated that his restraining order covered everything granted in the BZA’s variance. “This issue is getting deeper and deeper." he said, adding that the record of the BZA hearings and evidence of the board's intent were not in evidence. "In issuing the restraining order, the court was not looking at anything but the board of zoning appeals' order. That was my intent. I can't say on the face of it whether it deals with a campground or with religious services." Robertson acknowledged that he lacked the authority to dissolve or modify a restraining order upheld by the Supreme Court but maintained that he could clarify his ruling. "But clarification includes dropping the wording of the restraining order." Konick argued. It is possible, the Judge replied, that he acted beyond the scope of what was actually before the court in the wording of the initial order. A third attorney to speak m the NPEA’s behalf noted that his law professor at Washington and Lee had repeatedly emphasized that an order exceeding the court's scope was void. According to Robertson, if he was in error, then he has the right to go back and make corrections. In upholding the restraining order, the Supreme Court confirmed the thinking of the Horse Clinic More than a dozen adults and children attended a I meeting of the Rap pahannock 4-H Horse Club I Thursday, June 19. The main purpose of the I meeting was to decide on a date for a 4-H clinic and to 1 iron out details of the schedule. July 8-10 were the I dates selected and charges were set at $15.00 per day. ' Children may attend one, two or three days. I Each day will start with a . riding lesson followed by a * lecture-demonstration. After . lunch there will be another I short lecture with more , riding, including jumping, I games or a trail ride finishing off the day. trial court “or at least the authority of the trial court to think in error," the judge continued, noting that the justices had not dealt with the correctness of his reasons in granting the restraining order. After going over the order "with a fine tooth comb" and questioning both counsels in depth, the Supreme Court Justices didn't say either that they disagreed with Robertson’s ruling, Konick countered. "The rules are very clear." he maintained, arguing that Lynn was required to state ALL his objections to the restraining order in his petition to the Supreme Court. “Now, they didn’t get what they want so they're trying to change it so they won't be in contempt." he charged. "You could file a temporary injunction alledgihg nuisance." Robertson replied. “I’ll hear you on it—Saturday. Sunday." He again restated his intent in his restraining order to restrain only what the BZA order granted. “They may well be trying to weasel in and our...Frankly. I think it will be very difficult to have anything (on the NPFA's Castleton property) with this restraining order." the judge stated, approving Lynn’s request for rewording. Contempt Charged Less than 48 hours later. Judge Robertson was back in court, this time in Rappahannock for contempt proceedings initiated by Konick against the NPEA on behalf of adjoining and nearby landowners. At the outset. Robertson noted that if the contempt hearing was conducted that day in a summary proceeding and the NPEA found guilty of violating the restraining order, the stiffest penalty that could be imposed was a $50 fine or ten days in jail. To exceed the limits proscribed in the Code, the matter would have to be set over for a jury to determine punishment, he added. “There are 14 or 15 parties in this room today who want their rights protected and they took their case all the way to the Supreme Court of Virginia and they feel the Supreme Court ruled there was to be no camp meeting on that property this year." said Konick. He maintained that by holding its meeting, the NPEA was in contempt of Robertson's restraining order and asked the Judge "to set out for all parties to hear what is and is not permitted under the restraining order as amended.” Robertson responded that he couldn't see how Konick’s clients would be prejudiced if the contempt hearing was held at a later time. "If they continue in contempt, they will continue to dig more deeply into the trouble that they're in with this court," he warned. Konick stated that he would show evidence of irreparable harm to his clients, should the camp meeting be allowed to continue. Lynn countered that he hadn’t been notified of the petition for contempt until late the previous evening and so wasn't as prepared as he should be to represent his clients. He questioned, in addition, whether the issue of irreparable harm was relevant to a contempt proceeding. Possible Damages If the NPEA continues in violation of the court's restraining order. Robertson noted that damages may be assessed against the Association at a later date. He maintained that "a day of accountability” will come and that “it really doesn’t matter if that day of accountability is today or a day in the future." Konick pointed out the option for summary punishment. "Only up to $50 fine or ten days in jail.” Robertson replied. Konick countered that he didn't care if the fine was $1 or $10.—"I want adjudication today!” Lynn added his request for a hearing date at sometime in the future on the contempt charges. "I object ^ery strenuously.” Konick interjected. reminding Robertson of his offer on Thursday to make himself available to hear charges of contempt on the restraining order. He questioned Lynn's contention that the opposing attorney wasn't prepared for the contempt hearing, claiming that the NPEA's counsel left Robertson’s chambers on Thursday and called his clients to tell them to go ahead with the camp meeting. "Now. they're trying to get out of any punishment...This court has been maneuvered into the position where its own restraining order has been torn up," Konick charged. If that's the case. Robertson replied, then summary punishment is definitedly inadequate and the contempt hearing should be set over so that punishment can be determined by a jury of Rappahannock residents. Konick told the judge that his clients have to contend with the disturbances caused by the camp meeting while Robertson and Lynn lived in Warrenton. far away from the NPEA grounds. “I think my clients are entitled to be heard and entitled to be heard today." he insisted. "I don't see how contempt proceedings today will help your clients...If people are willing to disregard the orders of this court, what protection do your clients expect to obtain?” the judge asked. “That's a good question,” Konick replied, adding that the court will have to decide "what is the law.” Some people, he said, think of the law as the flashing red light in a rear view window while others see it as "the right to have their property protected against deprivation without due cause." Konick told Robertson that his client. James Grigsby, was born and raised within one mile of his house across the street from the NPEA campground site. According to the attorney, Grigsby worked hard and long to buy ten acres and build a home with help from his family and brothers. He gets up at 4 a.m., drives two hours to work, returns at 5 p.m. after another two hour trip and then goes out on side jobs, Konick said. "Not because he wants to,..He's trying to earn enough to keep what he's got.” According to the attorney, Grigsby lives in a residential subdivision where “any fool knows you can build homes...I’ve argued law in your court three times (on the NPEA issue) and once in the Supreme Court of Virginia,” Konick told Robertson. “It hasn’t gotten me very far so today I’m going to argue the facts.’’ And the facts, he maintained, are that James Grigsby must contend with "91 cars, over 300 people, tamberines. singing, wailing, kids screaming," a septic system overloaded by 28 times the capacity it was designed to handle and people streaming in and out of the campground's toilet facilities. “That’s what James Grigsby has to come home to,” Konick said. The commonwealth attorney and zoning administrator drove by the campground, Konick noted, claiming that the two men don’t care. "They live in Sperryville...Who cares about James Grigsby or Mr. Pj;udhum or Norma Langbein? Apparently no one." he claimed. Supreme Court Upheld "The Supreme Court said there was nothing wrong with the restraining order and the restraining order said ‘No camp mefeting this year'," stated Konick, punctuating each word with a rap on the table. "What are people going to think of the law?" he asked, when on the next day. the counsel for NPEA is "in the judge's chambers and has been discussing the case" without opposing counsel being present. "Now wait a minute," Judge Robertson interjected, noting that Lynn was in chambers to discuss only scheduling of the case, as the judge had with Konick on an earlier occasion. He stated his exception to the inference that the court “had compromised its judicial independence.” Konick backed off from his implied allegation, denying that he was making any charges. He insisted, however, that Lynn’s request to change the restraining order deprived the order of any meaning. He told the court that Lynn had called him on Thursday and told him "you’d better get your little butt down here" if he had any objections to the proposed changes that Robertson later approved. Questioning whether the restraining order was just "a scrap of paper”, Konick stated that he believed the court was going to achieve jurisdiction and reminded Robertson of the speech he made when appointed to the bench on providing justice under the law. Konick moved that the order as amended be vacated and the order approved by the Supreme Court reinstated. Awesome Powers Noting the "awesome" powers of the court to punish contempt, Robertson described the allegation as one of the most serious under Virginia law since the Code proscribes no limit on punishment that can be set by a jury. He stated absolutely that he wouldn't rule on the contempt charges until a hearing at a future date in order to give counsel time to prepare defense and himself an opportunity to study the BZA's records and legal issues involved. Robertson said he understood the frustrations of the opposing landowners but added that he thought they understood that “considerations of fairness and what the law requires” meant the case had to be carried over for hearing at a later date. "I will say in open court that I hope the intervenors (the NPEA) know what they're doing." "They know what they're doing. They know exactly what they're doing," Konick interjected. "I hope they know they're in compliance (with the restraining order),’’ Robertson continued. He maintained that it was necessary for him to examine the BZA records which he'd only received that morning before ruling on contempt. Robertson explained that he’d amended the restraining order because he was seeking to restrain only the rights granted by the BZA's variance. “The amended language amplifies and clarifies the decree entered by the court." he said, adding that without going over the records and the county’s zoning laws, he couldn't know what conduct the BZA could legally restrain under Rappahannock’s ordinances. “What the restraining order means will be decided in the due process hearing," he concluded, setting the hearing date for July 14 at 2 p.m. Konick got in one final word, quoting one of his lawprofessors: “Sometimes these damn rules don't make any damn sense and when they don’t make any sense, then to hell with them because you’ve got to get the right results." With that statement, he stalked from the court room. In a related occurrence, the health department has revised the original septic permit issued to NPEA to allow only chemical toilets. ‘‘Under the conditions they have now. the subsurface drainfteld for flush toilets is inadequate.” said William Burke, sanitary superintendent from the health department's Culpeper office. He noted that the drainfield could accommodate effluent from approximately 100 people for toilets and handwashing only, not from 400 people for toilets, handwashing and showers. The permit revisions made on Monday require that the flush toilets be closed and allow five chemical toilets, according to Burke. He noted that as many more chemical toilets as needed may be installed upon request. Burke reported that several inspections of the property have already been made and that the inspections will continue at intervals during the ten-day period of the camp meeting. Since campers and camping will not be allowed on the sue. there is no requirement under health department regulations that the water supply be approved. according to Burke. "In most counties, there are county requirements on this type of thing. But to my knowledge, there are none (in Rappahannock's ordinances)." he concluded.
