SAMPLE PAID CIRCULATION NOW 2,568 RAPPAHANNOCK HOUSEHOLDS 2,101 The County F&ntily Newspaper Founded 1877 32nd YEAR, No. 13 USPS 45558C 8 Pages THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1981 Washington, Virginia Phone 20' At Planning Commission Questions On Ordinance Validity Impede Land Trust’s Rezoning By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Nov* Staff Writer In response to questions raised over the validity of Rappahannock’s zoning ordinance, the county planning commissioners at last Wednesday’s public hearing postponed action on Carson Johnson’s rezoning request, pending legal advice. On behalf of Piedmont Land Trust, Johnson is seeking to have 143 acres near the village of Sperryville rezoned from agriculture, conservation and residential business to residential subdivision for division into eight lots. Washington attorney David Konick reminded the planners that the county has asked the circuit court to determine whether the zoning ordinance’s section on residential subdivisions is valid since it fails to list either uses allowed by right or with a special use permit. “Indications are that it will be ruled invalid,’’ Konick said. The argument is being made, he continued, that if the residential subdivision section is thrown out by the court, “all that land (zoned residential subdivision) is going to become unzoned land. That means it’s not going to be subject to any provisions of the zoning ordinance except Section 13.” (Article 1-3 is a general. Catch-all provision, designed to protect the integrity of the ordinance should any portion of it be struck down by the courts.) More Challenge* “Once Article 6 (residential subdivision) falls by the wayside, then Article 1-3 is going to be challenged,” Konick said, on the grounds that it is “ambiguous, unconstitutional, overbroad and vague.” In the continuing litigation over the validity of the zoning ordinance involving the county, the Nationwide Pentecostal Evangelistic Association and the landowners represented by Konick, the Washington attorney is arguing that if the residential subdivision section is ruled invalid, all the land in that category will revert back to its original zone. “But the case law I’ve read indicates that's not a sure thing,” Konick cautioned. He pointed out that in a controlling case from Greene County, land was put into an “interrum” zoning count. When that category was struck down, the court ruled the land unzoned. Konick noted that the planning commission had unanimously recommended changes to the residential subidivision section (Article' 6) in July but that the supervisors failed to act on the proposed amendments which would have added uses by right and with a special permit. The supervisors are saying that “they’re not doing anything now because there’s pending litigation —which they also filed!” Konick said. The attorney maintained that no additional land should be placed in the residential subdivision category. “I think we’ve got a problem because when residential subdivision gets thrown out, that land is going to be wide open for anybody to do just about anything they want.” Approving the Piedmont Land Trust’s rezoning application will be “making a bad situation worse,” he said. Adequate Right-Of-Way? Konick, who represents adjoining landowner Susan Eaton, raised several other questions relating to the rezoning request. Elliott DeJamette, attorney for the land trust, told the planning commissioners that most of the access road leading to the proposed subdivision from Route 211 has a 50 foot right of way. He said that the developers will dedicate additional land within the subdivision to widen the short 40 foot section to 50 feet. According to documents supplied by resident highway engineer Don Askew,^ the Planners Table Rezoning For Building Supplier By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Ka|»|»ahann<»rk Mrvy* Staff V ritrr The Rappahannock planning commissioners took no action at last Wednesday’s public hearing on a rezoning application to allow retail sales of building materials. Donald Brown is asking to have approximately three acres on Route 211 west of Amissville rezoned from agriculture to businesscommercial. He told the commissioners at the March 18 hearing that he plans to use an existing residential building on the property for an office. Brown said he will fence the area and provide parking for nine vehicles. Nearby landowner John Gaines described Brown’s proposal as a ‘‘very, very good improvement...“Here in Rappahannock County, if you want a two-by-four, cinder block or brick, you’ve got to drive 20 miles to get it," he said, noting that the trips to out-of-county building suppliers were expensive. In opposition to the Crash Injures Two Men Two young men from Amissville were injured, one seriously, in a single vehicle crash Saturday night on Route 211 east of the village. Wilbur Glascock and Floyd Allen Miller, both 24, were traveling east on the dual lane highway when the crash occurred. According to Trooper J. K. Pearson, the ’74 Chevrolet van in which they were riding went out of control and ran off the right of the highway. It veered back across the two traffic lanes, struck the bank in the median and overturned on the road, the officer said. The crash is still under investigation and Pearson declined to report further. Glascoek was taken to Fairfax Hospital and was released Monday. Miller remains a patient in the Washington Shock Trauma Center where he underwent head surgery. rezoning, Werner Krebser, representing the local Izaak Walton League, described the application as "a real transgression against the county of Rappahannock...spot zoning at its worst,” citing a recent Virginia Supreme Court definition of the term. He maintained that there’s no reason why a building supply operation can't open in the county’s existing villages or other area designated in the comprehensive plan as suitable for commercial development. “This is the wrong place,” he concluded. Speaking for the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, Phil Irwin described the location of the proposed building supply business as coming just before “the scenic vista, the gateway to the magnificent ecology we have here.” He also noted that the site isn't designated for commercial development in the county’s comprehensive plan. Questioning whether a small operation like that proposed by Brown could be competitive with larger businesses, Irwin maintained that in considering the rezoning request the commissioners shouldn’t let convenience outweigh the “total inappropriateness” of Brown’s application. John Mears, owner of property across the street ABC Profits Rappahannock County will receive $8,656.45 as its share of $8,036,995 in profits generated by the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control for the second quarter of the 1980-81 fiscal year. Department profits are distributed on a per capita basis to Virginia’s counties, cities and towns at the current rate of $1.73. The town of Washington will receive $326.56 for the second quarter. Rappahannock County will also get $844.57 for its share of the $755,629 in liter tax generated by the sale of wine. from Brown’s lot, called for more information on parking and access, “more concrete plans...It s just a little tenant house on the side of the road! I don’t see how it can be used as a commercial establishment,” Mears concluded. Mrs. Margaret Tylek, another neighboring landowner, opposed the rezoning request both on esthetic grounds and on the precedent approval would set for further commercial spot zoning. Commissioner Newbill Miller suggested that action on Brown’s application be tabled until the com-# missioners get clarification on the definition of spot zoning from commonwealth attorney Douglas Baumgardner. Brown’s rezoning request will be taken up again at the same time the commissioners meet to further discuss Carson Johnson’s residential rezoning application, he added. Retail Sales Increase Slightly Figures on taxable retail sales released by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission for 1980 show a slight increase for Rappahannock County. Measured by ‘‘taxable sales of retail goods and services” Rappahannock County increased from $6,450,553 in 1979 to $6,871,620 in 1980, an increase of $421,067 or 6.5 percent. This compares to an increase of $368,903 or 6.1 percent in 1979 when compared to 1978 figures. The retail groups showing the largest dollar ($) increase in 1980 were General Merchandise ($212,827) and Food ($100,429). The biggest losers were Automotive down 11.7 percent and FurnitiireHome Furnishings down 4.1 percent. Overall, the number of businesses remained the same at 150 establishments. access road leading to the subdivision from 211 appear.' to have only a 40 foot right of-way in its entirety, said Konick. Rappahannock's ordinance doesn’t allow ' developers to “dump out of a subdivision” onto a lower category road, he emphasized. The access road leading to the subdivision as well as the road extension into the subdivision must have a 50 foot right-of-way, Konick said. Werner Krebser asked DeJarnette if he had any information from Askew on what it would cost to upgrade the portion of the road in the subdivision itself to a 50 foot right-of-way. In addition, he noted that the county has no assurances that the state will accept the donated land to provide the wider right-ofway. DeJarnette answered that (Continued on Page 4) Rappahannock Newa photo/S.

Charges Dismissed Against Gardiner In Circuit Court on Tuesday, Judge Shore Robertson dismissed charges against Admiral Josef Gardiner, chairman of the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals, for failure to file real estate disclosure forms by the December 31 deadline. The dismissal came at the recommendation of commonwealth attorney Douglas Baumgardner who maintained that charges were improperly presented. According to Baumgardner, the Virginia Code gives sole power to enforce the disclosure requirement to the state Attorney General and local commonwealth attorneys. The complaint against Gardiner was lodged by Washington attorney David Konick. Under state law, members of boards of supervisors, planning commissions. board of zoning appeals and town councils and assessors must file disclosures of all real estate interests and holdings in the county in which they serve with the clerk of the court by December 31 for that year. As of Wednesday. March 25, only planning commissioner A. Y. Stokes from Piedmont District had failed to file the necessary listing of real estate for 1980, required for all family members who reside with the local officials as well as the office holders themselves. In the past week, planning commissioner Newbill Miller, commissioner of revenue and assessor Merle Scoggin and board of zoning appeals members George Muth and James Massie turned in disclosure forms. In addition, Mrs. Muth filed disclosure of her real estate interests and holdings. Douglas Not Prosecuted Charges ot malicious shooting against Ernest Lee Douglas, 34, of Richmond, have been nolle prosequi by Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson acting on the recommendation of Commonwealth attorney Douglas Baumgardner. Douglas was accused of the malicious shooting of Peter Marx of Washington in an incident that occurred November 18, 1979, near town. Marx, the complaining witness in the case, failed to appear in court for the hearing on February 7. 1981. Other cases coming before the court included: Larry Wayne Dodson of Fauquier County was convicted of giving false information to a police officer, a lesser offense than the original charge of perjury. Judge Shore Robertson sentenced Dodson to 12 months in jail, with only ten days to serve and fined him S100 plus $67.50 court costs. Dodson is serving his jail sentence on weekends. At this time the judge also found Lonnie Gene Clatterbuck of Sperryville an habitual offender and revoked his operator's license for ten years. John Walter Hart of Washington was also convicted as an haibutal offender and received the same license revocation. Bond was set for Robert Clarence Martin at $5000 cash, a thousand on each of four counts of arson in the bam burnings Halloween eve at the farm of C. E. Johnson, Jr. at Sperryville. Martin is also from Sperryville. A hearing is set for April 16 on these charges. James Franklin Williams, Jr. of Amissville, on probation for attempted arson was cited for violation of probation after failing to pay restitution of $519 and $68 costs. This is to be paid $50 monthly. In Proposed School Budget New Pay Scale, Benefits Supported F or 1981-82 By UAPH1NK HUTCHINSON Kappnhunnork News Staff VI rit«*r Higher pay and fringe benefits for teachers and new positions for special education coordinator and maintenance supervisor won support from individuals speaking at last Tuesday’s special school board meeting to gauge public reaction to the superintendent’s 1981-82 budget. Dr. William Bloomer's proposed $2,245,792 budget tor the coming year includes a 12.4 percent salary increase and hospitalization coverage for all 120 school employees. The across-the-board 12.4 percent cost-of-living increase does not take into account the raise that teachers should get for added experience, according to Rappahannock County Education Association representative Don Bomberger. In explaining why “more dollars are important in regard to experienced teachers,” Bomberger said that teachers must take recertification courses every five years. Tuition fees are sometimes paid by the school board, he said, but reimbursement doesn't include transportation, babysitters or other related costs. Experienced teachers, said Bomberger, are better classroom managers. They spend less time on discipline so more learning takes place. They are more familiar with curriculum, text books, subject matter, state testing procedures and record keeping. They require less time from administrators since they don’t need the training (Continued on Page 4) Community Concert Memberships Open Don't wait to be asked—join the Culpeper Community Concert Association now—renew your membership or subscribe as a new member.

AR T CRITICS CORNER By GEORGIA WALSWORTH Hundreds of delighted Rappahannockers took a trio down the familiar yellow brick road last -weekend as guests of the senior class of Rappahannock High School. Under the direction of Don Bomberger, ‘‘The Wizard of Oz" came to life and seemed as fresh and wonderful as it must have been eighty years ago when L. Frank Baum’s novel was first put on stage. The work and cooperation which went into this production was obvious from the first scene to the final curtain. Interesting sets with imaginative art work executed by students under the direction of Laurie Marshall provided the proper ambience for each scene. Judy Bomberger and Janet DeRoo made creative use of easily available materials and ciotmng to come up with costumes to delight even the jaded Star Wars children of the 1980’s. Local artist Jeanne Drevas contributed an intriguing mask and another '•'basket-phantasm for two of ""the manifestations of the Wizard. Mr. Bomberger’s casting was right on the mark and seemed especially remarkable in a school of this size. Dee Dee Grant was a wide-eyed, guileless Dorothy, attended faithfully by Toto (Laura • Tupper with a perfect little black nose and a great bark). Chris Hitt as the Scarecrow was an audience favorite, and from the beginning of the first scene when he is still lifeless in the cornfield, his constanct and wonderfully doltish star alerted the audience to the performance which was to follow. He slid i and tripped and slaptsticked his way through the next three acts. Hitt’s range of skill was particularly apparent during the Scarecrow’s narrative of his creation which became a very funny stand-up routine in his hands. The Tinman (Jimmy Tomko) was suitably swest and shy and had the pleasure of delivering the line, “I would bear all unhappiness without a murmur if you will only give me a heart.” Jona McKay as the Lion gave the children who crept up to the foot of the stage a delicious scare with her roars. Jennifer Raney gave Glinda the Good a lovely and benevolent presence.

Angela^ Facchina was wildly wicked and moved with wonderful grace through a well-blocked scene, which culminated in her melting through a curtain. Her performance was confident and engrossing, and only wanted for some real water (half a cup even?) to make the most of the melting moment. As the Wizard of Oz, Erik Niskanen brought a nice selfdeprecating attitude to the role, and, of course, the audience (and Dorothy et al) forgave him his elaborate charade. Two instances of gum chewing in the cast were either a director’s nightmare or a bit of inspired whimsy—whatever the case, they were amusing. (Perhaps those actors aspired to juicier parts?) Theatregoers in the County can look forward to more good entertainment when RCHS stages “Oklahoma” in May. By MIDGE REYNOLDS “Refugee,” a one-act play performed by Warren County High School students under the direction of Margo Figgins of Sperryville, played to a nearly full house at Mountain Magic Cinema on March 15. The third in a trilogy of one act plays written and performed by the high school troup that calls itself “Maroon Masque," “Refugee” recently earned the Distinguished Performance Award from the Virginia Forensic Leage. On Sunday, “Refugee’ presented a vision of alienated youth that focused on the tension youngsters feel between trying to be themselves and the attempt to be what everyone else expects them to be. The performance at Mountain Magic was refreshingly heartfelt and stirring. The young ensemble, trained by Ms. Figgins, had stage presence, dramatic projection, spontaneity of movement and disciplined theatrics rarely found in a high school group. Harsh lights and spots on darkened sets and shattering sound effects reinforced the play’s ethic. The evening's entertainment also included Charlie Chaplin’s endearing film classic. “Vagabond," and a dramatic workshop conducted by Figgins and her troup of youngsters that sparked enthusiastic audience participation. Said Ms. Figgins at the close of this benefit performance for the Rappahannock Players: “We are here because we feel the arts are important.” Thrift Shop To Open Soon The Washington Ladies Auxiliary plans to reopen the Thrift Shop soon. They will accept any donations of clothing, household articles and furniture which are no longer needed. Articles may be left at the Town Hall or pickup can be arranged by calling 675-3608.

RLEP Barn Dance April 11 The Ralph Case Square Dancers will provide entertainment and music for dancing at the RLEP spring barn dance on Saturday, April 11, at 8 p.m. in the Wakefield School auditorium. Program chairman Mitzie Young says tickets are now on sale for $5 single, or $8 per couple. All proceeds will support the programs of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP). Ralph Case and his celebrated group of young people last performed in Rappahannock County at the RLEP barn dance in November 1978, when they won plaudits for their intricate and colorful dance routines. In addition to giving several demonstrations of clogging, the dancers will mingle with the crowd on the floor, teaching everyone with two left feet how to square dance, and do the Paul Jones, Patti-cake Polka, Mexican waltz, and other routines. The Ralph Case dancers have appeared on TV’s Hee Haw program with country superstar Roy Clark. They are the only square dancers to have given a performance in the U. S. Capitol, at the White House, and at several Presidential inaugural balls. They have also thrilled various church, business and military groups. The several RLEP program groups are busily putting the finishing touches on plans and decorations for the big event. A capacity crowd is expected. |-Notice-1 1 If you undertake a large' controlled burning on your property, the fire department in your community should be notified, as well as the fire dispatcher. Any big fires are often reported by passersby or neighbors who do not know the circumstances and this causes unnecessary responses by fire personnel and equipment. If the fire companies are aware of the burning they will also be more alert should the fire get out of control.

Communities and even empires can rise and fall on the basis of their roads. Roads carry the lifeblood of humanity, and have human qualities such as arteries and lifelines ascribed to them. Even when civilizations die, their roads may endure. This is certainly true of Roman and Inca roads. What has this dissertation to do with real estate? lust this - roads (especially highways) increase the value of land in its path. Just as population pressure can create the need for roads, new roads can pave the way for population increases. This, in turn. increases the demand (and the price) of property. When buying raw land as an investment, take a hard look at available roads and planned highways. It has often been said that if investors just followed the route of proposed freeways in this country, and bought properly-priced future freeway frontage close to population centers, they could make a great deal of money.

Panther Tales By ROBIN COOPER and RUSTY SETTLE Sharon Settle has held many offices in her years at RCHS, which reflect the respect people have for her leadership and authority. She has done an excellent job this year as SCA President and last year as secretarytreasurer of the junior class. Her sophomore year she was class president and secretarytreasurer of the SCA. As ? junior, Sharon was a finalist in the U. S. Senate Youth Program. She has been a member of the chorus for three years and of the NHS for the last two years. She has an interest in drama and was in last year’s school play “Hello Dolly”' and this year’s senior play, “The Wizard of Oz”. Sharon is an A-B student in an academic program, and finds chorus to be the most fun. One thing Sharon dislikes about school is homework. “I would rather do anything than homework and always procrastinate. 1 do it between classes and at lunch. So my worst subject is the one I have to study the most in, usually French III,” said Sharon. This fall she will attend Bridgewater College and plans to major in physics or math, hopefully, having voice as her minor. She would like to teach first and be a pilot in later years by acquiring flight hours while teaching. Sharon turns to her faith when asked about the most important influence in her life. She says that God is always there to listen and help her through difficult times. She says, "Everyone needs a rock to cling to.” Next to God, she says that her parents' love and guidance has helped to shape her life. Like most young people, she may not always SHARON SETTLE show her appreciation, but she’d like to thank them now for all they’ve done for her. When you ask Sharon about the school system, her reply is, “As far as the school itself is concerned, I think it would be the worst place on the face of the earth if it were not for the superior bunch of teachers who hold it together. We really should appreciate their dedication, especially since the School Board does nothing to encourage such a quality faculty.” As she looks back over her years at RCHS, Sharon finds that the years haven’t been all that bad, in fact, some pretty good ones, which she credits to all of her very dear friends. They seem to make life bearable. Nothing can equal the happiness a friend can give. It’s a special kind of love. Sharon dedicates this spotlight in loving memory of Miss Garland Riley, her third grade teacher and a very dear lady, who passed away this past Christmas Eve. + + + + Wonders are many, and none is more wonderful than man.

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, MARCH 26,1981 Cancer Crusade Beginning next week, volunteers for the Rappahannock Unit of the American Cancer Society will be going door-to-door, collecting for the county’s fair share goal of this year’s Cancer Crusade. Before we decide whether to dig down into our inflation riddled pockets for a donation, maybe we should listen to the answer given by Dr. Arthur Holleb when the Senior Vice President for Medical Affairs in the Cancer Society’s national office was asked “Are we making any progress in the fight against cancer? ” “There’s been great progress against cancer in only one medical lifetime. Let me count some of our blessings as 1981 begins: “The death rate from cancer of the cervix has been reduced by 60 percent. “Mammography can find breast cancer too small to be discovered by the most experienced examiner and in-situ (non-invasivel breast cancer has a cure rate approaching 100 percent. Forty years ago the average breast cancer, when first seen, approached the size of a golf ball. “Choriocarcinoma—a malignant tumor in the womb occurring after pregnancy—was uniformly fatal and now is virtually 100 percent curable by chemotherapy even when the disease is widespread. “Acute lymphocytic leukemia of childhood, once uniformly fatal, now shows at least a 50 percent five year survivial rate and many of these youngsters are doing nicely well into the future. “Hodgkins Disease is now more than 75 percent curable in its early stages using surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. — “About SO percent ttf^childnen with osteogenic sarcoma, a cancer of the bone, were dead within two years of treatment which was most often amputation. Now SO percent are alive and a goodly number do not require loss of limb. “I have seen too many young men die of cancer of the testicle as I stood by helplessly. Now, not all, but many testicular cancers are curable even when the tumor has spread. “Even certain types of lung cancer are showing dramatic responses to selected chemotherapy while lung cancer remains one of the few preventable cancers known to mankind. “Interferon has come upon the scene, not as a cure-all but rather a totally new class of compounds, a natural occurring body substance which shows anti-tumor activity and may well serve as the forerunner of even more effective treatments in the future. “Innumerable other things have happened in that short medical lifetime. We have learned how to better identify those people who are at a higher risk for cancer. Years ago we had no knowledge of cancer families and genetic predisposition. We had no estrogen or progesterone receptors to tell us how best to treat a woman with breast cancer. We had no CEA (carcion-embryonic antigen) to tell us that a colon cancer was recurring. We had no cobalt machines, electron beam therapy or Pi-Mesons. We had no C-T scan to find hidden metastases. “We had no simple hemoccult test to search out the blood we couldn’t see with our experienced eye. We had no team concept in the treatment of cancer—the surgeon, radiation therapist and medical oncologist jointly offering their special knowledge in the best interests of the patient’s welfare and outcome. We had no opportunity to say to a woman with very early breast cancer that she may not lose her breast or that if it was necessary to do so, she could be reconstructed afterward. We had no real cancer specialists in pediatrics, gynecology, radiology, surgery, chemotherapy and other disciplines. Today these fields are burgeoning. “We had no low-dose mannography, ultrasound, thermography, biologic markers and modifiers and we didn’t have hundreds of chemotherapeutic compounds to choose from for our cancer patients. Also we didn’t know very much about cancer in black Americans of other minority groups. We were babes in the woods about the psychosocial impact of cancer and the world of rehabilitation was quite unknown because so many of our patients died. The progress made has been enormous, indeed.” Credit for strides made over the last 40 years goes to the research scientist, the medical profession and every day people who have given generously to Cancer Crusade volunteers. Volunteers working hand in hand with citizens in their communities are the key to cancer control. Help make the Cancer Society’s slogan “We Want to Wipe Out Cancer in Your Lifetime” a reality by contributing to this year’s Crusade. Budget Proposals Win Support (Continued from Page 1) that new teachers must have and do not have to be observed as often as nontenured teachers according to school board policy, he said. RCEA spokesman Lynne Baines note£ the association’s support for maintenance supervisor, special education coordinator, public address system at the high school, guidance and library aide, computer terminal and printer for the school board office and hospitalization for all school employees, items covered in Bloomer’s budget proposal. She also- added tire RCEA’s endorsement of a new indexed salary scale plus 12.4 percent increase for Rappahannock teachers, listed by Bloomer in his budget infori ation as costing $893,279 compared to $847,103 for the existing scale with the same raise. Beard For Higher Salaries Mrs. Baines reported that she’d discussed educational issues prior to the. General Assembly session with Rappahannock's delegate, George Beard. She said he expressed concern regarding teacher pay and fovored using unanticipated surplus funds to raise teacher salaries throughout the state. According to Baines, the General Assembly’s action to use part of the surplus to up per pupil payments to localities by $86 will result in the county receiving an additional $84,700 (not including funds for duty free lunch) over what was originally anticipated. This money from the state’s surplus will more than cover costs of hospitalization insurance for teachers ($30,600) and the difference ($46,176) between the index salary scale with 12.4 percent proposed by the teachers and the 12.4 percent increase applied to the current sale as suggested by the superintendent. Pointing out that Rappahannock presently ranks 114 out of 135 school divisions in total maximum salary plus fringe benefits, Mary Denson Moore stressed the RCEA’s support for providing life insurance and hospitalization coverage. Approval of the fringe benefits, she said, will make the county more competitive with surrounding localities and improve teacher morale. She also stated the association’s support for instituting duty free lunches for teachers with the special $7 per pupil payment from the state earmarked for this purpose and available for the first time this year. Asked why funds for unencumbered planning time for all teachers and insurance coverage for property damaged on school grounds weren't included in his Questions On Ordinance - (Continued from Page 1) he had no cost estimates from the resident engineer or information on availability of road improvement funds for the project. According to the land trust’s lawyer, the eight lots in the proposed subdivision range in size from one fiveacre parcel to three 25-acre parcels. Although two additional five-acre lots zoned residential business are shown on the subdivision plat, DeJamette said they would be retained as a tenacre parcel. He added that an additional 15 feet next to the road right-of-way has been reserved for utility lines and other improvements. Krebser questioned whether the land in the smaller lots might be over 14 per cent slope. (Minimum lot size for property over 14 per cent slope is 25 acres under the county's zoning regulations.) “There’s no doubt that the three 25-acre lots are over 14 per cent slope,” DeJamette answered. He added, however, that according to the engineer who did the survey, none of the other lots are over 14 per cent grade. No Copy Of Contract Johnson’s rezoning application does not include a copy of the purchase contract, a requirement in other rezoning requests where the applicant was a contract buyer, Konick pointed out. In addition, he maintained that the legal advertisement for Wednesday’s public hearing was deficient in that it did not adequately describe what was being sought. The advertisement states that the application is for rezoning from agricultural and conservation to residential subdivision. No mention is made in the advertisement that part of the property is currently zoned residential business, Konik said. (In June 1979, the planning commission required that a public hearing for Peter Kramer’s proposed rezoning be readvertised because the first advertisement described the rezoning sought as from flood plain to commercial rather than from agriculture to commercial.) Konick told the commissioners that his client, whose property borders the proposed subdivision on all sides, is opposed to the development on general as well as specific grounds; that it will cause additional traffic and noise and increase the county’s tax burden. Sub. Ordinance Controls? Commissioner Newbill Miller maintained that even if the Article 6 and 1-3 of the county’s zoning ordinance are ruled invalid, subdivision regulations will still apply to the proposed development. Konick countered that the subdivision ordinance controls only lot size, not land use. With just subdivision ordinance regulations in force, "they might only be able to have ten lots but they could have business or industrial uses on those lots,” he said. "I see your point,” Miller agreed. Asked how long he expected the litigation with the county and the Nationwide Pentecostal Evangelistic Association to continue, Konick said he didn’t expect a decision on the validity of the zoning ordinance's residential subdivision section until May with other related questions taking longer to resolve. “We’re pressing for a decision because the other side (The NPEA) plans to have their annual event (a two-week camp meeting) in June,” he said. No Legal Advisor "Our problem is that our legal advisor has disqualified himself from this case,” said Miller, in reference to commonwealth attorney Douglas Baumgardner. Baumgardner withdrew as legal advisor to both the planning commission and the board of supervisors during deliberations on the rezoning request on the grounds that he has a “material financial interest” in Piedmont Land Trust. In addition, he withdrew as legal advisor on another pending application for rezoning from Rappski Limited in which he also has a “material financial interest.” Noting that “the only evidence we have before us calls it 40 foot (right-ofway),” Miller said the issue of road width could be resolved by the highway department. If the right-of-way isn’t 50 feet on the access road from Route 211, then minimum lot size in the subdivision will be 25 acres, he said. Legal questions raised by Konick on the repercussions of litigation over the zoning ordinance’s residential subdivision section, however, require legal advice, according to Miller. “Who can we get and when can we get it?” Commissioner David Fannon said he would like to see documentation proving that the subdivision’s access road has a 50 foot right-ofway. In addition, Fannon said he wanted certification that each lot smaller than 25 acres in the proposed subdivision contains a minimum of five acres under 14 per cent slope. He also asked for certification that the developers would indeed dedicate additional land to bring the right-of-way on the road inside the subdivision to 50 feet. DeJarnette also volunteered to provide the commissioners with a copy of the sales contract. After chairman Herbert Barksdale secures legal counsel, the planning commission will act on the Piedmont Land Trust’s rezoning application. No date was set for the reconvened meeting. In related action, the commissioners declined to advertise for public hearing a rezoning request from Rappski Limited to rezone 226 acres in Harris Hollow from commercial to residential subdivision until after legal questions are proposed budget, Bloomer replied that the unencumbered planning time, while desirable, didn't have the high priority of other, more pressing needs. As to insurance for damaged property, the superintendent said questions exist on the legality of using school funds to compensate individuals directly. He added that he did not have time prior to preparing the 198182 budget to look into possible insurance options. Diane Wood, third grade teacher, urged the board to adopt the indexed salary scale as a means of keeping experienced teachers. A second year teacher herself, Wood said she was amazed at the knowledge she’d gained in just one year. Becky Hawkins, seventh grade teacher who has worked three years in the county,-said she would like to stay in Rappahannock but was “forced to look elsewhere for a teaching job” due to financial considerations. The cost of commuting from her home in Front Royal makes it imperative that she belong to a carpool, an arrangement that prevents her from participating in extra-curricular activities after school, Hawkins said. “I’d like for my raise to keep up with inflation...I’d like for Rappahannock not to be known as a training ground,” she said, adding that experienced teachers, even those like herself with only three years time, “are a minority group here.” Endangered Species “If Mrs. Hawkins belongs to a minority group, then I’m an endangered species!” said elementary librarian Lucia Kilby who has been with the school system for 20 years. “The turn-over in the elementary school was 38 percent last year and if you count new faces (personnel filling new positions), it was 42 percent," she said. Supporting the proposed indexed pay scale with a 12.4 percent cost of living increase as a means of keeping experienced teachers, Mrs. Kilby maintained that “the children will suffer” if the turnover trend isn’t stopped. Describing herself as “new to teaching, new to special education and new to the county,” Dorie Brown, first year teacher for the elementary school’s combination learning disabled and emotionally disturbed class, added her support for the proposed position of coordinator of special education. Brown said that at the beginning of the year, she found her job “quite overwhelming” and so sought help from the administration. She said she found the administrators very willing but lacking expertise in her field and maintained that a special education coordinator could provide help that answered. "How can we rezone anything to RS-1 as long as this cloud’s hanging over the RS-1 District?” asked Miller. "We’re in limbo right now.” commissioner A. Y. Stokes agreed. ++++ America’s first known women colonists were Mistress Forrest and her maid Anne Burras, who arrived in Virginia in 1608. inexperienced teachers need. Prefacing her remarks with appreciation for the school board’s “time and thoughtfulness’’ shown duming the “overwhelming task’’ of preparing a budget, Lauria Marshall, teacher for the gifted and talented program, stressed the importance of working together to create more wealth for the schools, particularly through the use of community resources. She proposed using the school computer to compile a list of volunteers with their skills and tools available to help expand horizons and teach students about the real world. sne added ner support tor funding requests from the high school dramatics department. Drama teaches youngsters how to express themselves in public, a skill necessary for democracy to survive, Marshall maintained. She noted that the handbook provided teachers when they are first hired in Rappahannock gives a teacher’s job as helping children to live in a democracy. “I take that directive very seriously,” Marshall said, adding that without problem solving, research and communication skills, democracy has little chance for survival. The board was asked to include funds for an inschool suspension program in the budget for 1981-82. Students are now suspended either for punishment or to protect other students. Inschool suspension could accomplish both without sacrificing educational progress, the board was told. Sharon Kilpatrick supported the index salary scale proposed by the RCEA. She maintained that instituting the index scale with a 12.4 percent cost of living raise will require only about SI 1,814 more than the superintendent’s recommendation for using the current scale with the same cost of living raie, assuming that both start with the same base salary and that salary steps in the index scale climb by three percent up to 15 years. Kilpatrick suggested adding an extra five percent step for 20 years experience in recognition of the contribution made by those teachers to the children of Rappahannock. Rather than buying a computer terminal and printer to hook into Piedmont’s computer for $12,789, Kent Reeve proposed purchasing a micro-computer for between $5,000 and $11,000. The micro-computer would reduce cost of toll calls over the terminal, he stressed. With a micro-computer, the school board could store data locally and use the computer for local accounting functions and for word processing which would save secretarial time, according to Reeve. In addition, he said, cost could be defrayed by sharing use of the computer with other county agencies. In support of Bloomer’s recommendation for a special education coordinator. Corrine Stein, elementary teacher for learning disabled, noted that the assistant superintendent now oversees Title I, gifted and talented and special education programs as well as numerous other administrative jobs. The county’s growing special education program consisted of seven classes this year, she said, with three first year teachers and three teachers new to Rappahannock. With this high turn-over, there’s no cohesiveness, she said, a situation that could be reversed by having a special education coordinator. Bomberger asked the board to include $2,556 for stage curtains, spotlights and lamps, equipment that is used regularly for other school activities besides drama As dramatics sponsor and director of the senior class and school plays, he invited the school board to the March 20 and 21 performances of “The Wizard of Oz,” a play “for children of all ages." speaking as a parent and taxpayer, Lynne Baines noted that the mood in the nation is to cut back on government expenditures. But, she added, Rappahannock did not keep in step with the rest of the country in earlier emphasis on services and education. “We simply cannot cut back on something we never received,” she concluded. Following public comment on the proposed school budget, the board retired to executive session at 8:30 to discuss “personal matters not relating to public business.” During the two and a half hour private session, the board was joined first by high school principal Dennis Wingfield and then by Billy Wayland and other bus drivers as well as a contingent of parents and students who reside in Gid Brown Hollow. When the board returned to open meeting at 11 p.m., chairman Beverly Massie announced that no action had been taken and that the board would receive further information. In regard to capital outlay /or the high school, the board agreed to send copies of its building proposal to various architectural firms that have contacted the school over the years. Responses will be screened and then four or five firms will be asked to meet with the board for interviews.

Ruritans Consider Horse Show On the agenda for the April 15 meeting of the Amissville Ruritans is discussion of plans to resume the annual horse show the group has sponsored in past years. At their meeting held March 18 in the Amissville Methodist Church, the Ruritans appointed a committee to begin investigating possibilities for resuming the annual show. Participation in the local show can qualify Rappahannock 4-H’ers to continue on in district horse and pony club competition, according to 4-H leader Jane Narramore. Pete Davies, commissioner of revenue for Culpeper County, was the guest speaker at the March Ruritan meeting. Also at the March session, the Ruritans agreed to donate one cord of wood for the Amissville Fire Department’s benefit auction on April 11. In addition, Ruritans brought in old eyeglasses for contribution to the Rappahannock Lions Club.

Malcolm Robson, Master Of A Lost Art By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Newi Staff Writer For centuries, alchemists searched for the philosopher’s stone that would reveal the secret of turning base metals into gold. Malcolm Robson has found the woodworker’s equivalent of that magic stone in his paint brush. With strokes, dabs and swirls, he changes base plywood into gleaming mahogany, maple and rosewood, and transforms ordinary concrete into the finest Italian marble. Off and on for the past month, Malcolm has been one ot the artists in residence at The Inn at Little Washington, remodeling the interior into a masterpiece of the Old World. Watching him at work is like watching a first rate magician wave the magic wand that saws the beautiful lady in half right before your eyes. It works but you don't know how. With Malcolm, you can watch as he rather absentmindedly waves his brush back and forth across pink plywood with less attention than Mandrake the Magnificent gives to pulling a string of multihued scarfs from up his sleeve. You stand inches away during the transformation, never taking your eyes from his brush, and still you can only shake your head in amazement as the plywood suddenly becomes mahogany. Amateur home decorators swept away in the antiqueing craze a decade or so ago painted, rubbed and gilded hundreds upon hundreds of ordinary pieces into what they thought could pass for treasures handed down from great-grandmother’s parlor. Their enorts bear about as much resemblance to the art form perfected by Malcolm Robson as cheap hamburger does to filet mignon. Only the basic materials—wood, brush and paint—are the same. To those materials, Malcolm brings talents perfected over hundreds of years. “It’s been handed down from father to son. I’m the fifth generation in my family to do this,” he said, conducting an interview without a break in the brush strokes that redid an alcove of pink and green plywood into marble and mahogany. The family business operated out of London until 15 months ago when the demand for his talents on this side of the Atlantic prompted Malcolm to emigrate to Fairfax County. “It’s not a hard date to remember. We came over here the same day the hostages were taken,” he recalled. Malcolm makes it sound and look so very easy. “Anything that you paint can be grained and marbled...Our job is to copy any wood, any marble. Some you never get to. Some you do only once in a lifetime. Some you do regularly. "But with all the wood and marble in the world, you can understand why we never finish learning. My father has been doing it for 54 years and he's still learning." The French call it faux marbre and faux bois—false marble and false wood. According to the New Columbia Encyclopedia, it’s an art form that is rarely practiced today except in matching old work. Malcolm agreed that his skills are far from commonplace. “There are only about 10 masters of the art left in the world today so most people don't get to see it. And if they don’t see you doing it, they can’t imagine how it’s done.” And if they didn t actually see it grained, they would never suspect that The Inn’s mahogany woodwork isn’t what it appears to be. The masquerade is perfect. Cherrywood tables nestled in an alcove of false wood suffer by comparison. The cherrywood may ask the question "Is it real or is it formica?” but there’s no doubt with Malcolm's mahogany. His craft isn't art duplicating nature; it’s art going nature one better. Malcolm Robson is one of the handful of those remaining masters of faux marbre and faux bois. He began more than 20 years ago while still in school, working weekends and holidays with his father in the family enterprise, and then tackled the fine points of the art in a 15-year apprentice program. To create false marble and false wood, Malcolm must spend days on scaffolding, lying on his back to reach a ceiling or bent into a pretzel on a staircase to grain a riser. “You have to be physically fit. People expect to see someone ancient. They’re surprised if you’re under 80," he laughed. Tall enough to dunk a basketball. Malcolm resembles an athlete instead of the stereotype of the bent and twisted old master. With his curly black hair, blue eyes and rosy cheeks, he typifies Welsh good looks. He’s full of the health and vitality of country living rather than English pallor associated with London’s foggy city streets. Obviously, his youthful appearance hasn’t interfered with his recognition as an artist. To describe his list of past clients as impressive is a classic understatement. Malcolm has worked his magic with wood and stone at Buckingham Palace. The House of Lords and every other palace in London. He’s painted President Jackson’s home. The Hermitage, in Nashville, Tenn. In preparation for George Washington’s 250th birthday celebration next year, Malcolm just spent a month at Mount Vernon, restoring the central passageway's yellow pine that was turned into mahogany by another craftsman two centuries ago. "It looks exactly the same as in 1797 when George spent his last years there.” Robson said. Last year, he redid the library at Mount Vernon. “George really liked »00W0WW« LERNER’S Downtown Culpeper Rappahannock Prom Special TUX RENTAL Newest Styles • Excellent Fit “After Six” • “Lord Wee*” - “First Nighter” Reg. $47.00 For Rappahannock Prom 39.77 LERNER’S DEPARTMENT STORE Culpeper Phone 825-8481 graining,” Malcolm noted, smiling as he punctuated his conversation with brush strokes that never faltered. It hasn’t been all restorations and royalty. Malcolm has done custom jobs for personalities that appear regularly in the headlines. He’s worked in the homes of film stars like Ava Gardner and Boris Karloff. “I get to see a lot of famous people. I met Jackie Onassis when I was doing work for Mrs. Mellon in Middleburg,” he said, dropping the big name that never fails to stir America’s interest. He feels that his artistic talent translates into a common language he can share with the great and near great. “Whether you’re wealthy, rich or poor, interest in decoration kind of cuts across all classes. Like when I was working for the Duchess of Kent. She lives a totally different life but we found a common theme we could both relate to in decoration. After the first couple of minutes, you forget you’re talking to royalty or to one of the wealthiest people in the world. You become sort of friends for a short while.” Working in the homes of his clients. Malcolm has the opportunity to sit and talk with them, chatting about whether rosewood is the best for this corner or that staircase. “Plumbers and electrician's are just as skilled craftsmen as I am but they don’t sit in the living room and discuss what size pipes or electrical wire to use with the lady of the house. When it comes to decorating, you have to!” When pressed, Malcolm relates the history of his professional life very matter of factly, without either braggadocio or false modesty. He graciously accepts the praise and accolades but his co-workers at The Inn found that he’d rather discuss the accomplishments of his kids on their community soccer team than his accomplishments as an artist. And like the shoemaker’s children who went barefoot, Malcolm’s wife is still waiting for her kitchen cabinets to be turned into rosewood. “Just finding the time is difficult,” he complained, repeating the lament of every husbandhandyman. In addition to historical restorations and custom work in private homes, Robson conducts classes in the art of faux marbre and faux bois. He ran a three-day program for the Smithsonian last year and in February, taught a one-day course in New York for apprentices of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. He's available for $500. That covers a day-long workshop, whether for one student or a group of as many as 20. the limit he feels he can handle at one time. Each participant brings a piece of furniture already painted with a base coat. "In the morning, we practice strokes on boards and in the afternoon, 1 guide them through doing their own piece." The instruction doesn’t turn a beginner into a master but his students learn enough to enjoy woodgraining and marbelizing. The Robson children —eight and 10-year-old sons and a year-old daughter — are still too young to decide whether they want to follow the family heritage for a sixth generation. "It’s dp to them if they want to learn. They won’t be forced but it’s there if they want to do it,” Malcolm said. One hopes that they’ll take advantage of the opportunity, and that Malcolm Robson won't be the last practitioner of what is becoming a lost art. r Foreign & American Car Repairs l Specializing in German & Japanese Made Cars JACK’S Service Center 30 Ashby Street Wairenton 347-37§5 /See You sjhere Rappahannock News Photo/Teresa Reynolds MASTER CRAFTSMAN Malcolm Robson turns cement and plaster into fine marble with the touch of a feather.

Stranges Meld Talents In Craft Business By DAPHNE HITCHINSON Rappahannock Mews Staff I Hlcr Merrill and Phillip Strange have a goal. Someday, they hope that everything in their Castleton home will be an original. That aim is the driving force behind their involvement in crafts—Phillip as a carpenter and furniture maker and Merrill as a painter of ceramic tiles. They’ve combined their talents in a business that produces handcrafted tables, knife racks and fireplaces inlaid with decorated tiles featuring fish in all the colors of the rainbow, graceful ferns and flowers and squatty green frogs. examples are scattered throughout their house: a brilliant trout brightens a kitchen counter, more fish dart about on the wood stove’s fireplace and a Philippine mahogany coffee table gleams in the living room. Enthusiastic barterers, the Stranges have traded their extras for original lamps, pillows, quilts and furniture fashioned by other craftspeople. While both had an artistic bent, neither Merrill nor Phillip planned a career in crafts. Phillip started out as an architectural student in the Rhode Island School of Design but quickly decided that he didn't want to spend the rest of his life building horizontal skyscrapers. “I wandered down to the basement of the school and found this wonderful old Danish craftsman teaching woodworking,” Phillip recalled. Inspired by the old man’s magic with wood, he switched majors to furniture design. FAUQUIER LIVESTOCK EXCHANGE INCORPORATED REGULAR SALES Every lues. HORSE SALE 2nd Sal., 1 p.m..

"Starting out, it was very hard to make enough money even to pay the light bill," Phillip chuckled. “You have to build up a stock as well as a name for yourself before you can make a living building furniture.” To supplement his income, he taught five years, first in Connecticut and then at Woodberry Forest in Orange County, where he headed the private school's art department. Practical Artist Merrill also began her career at Rhode Island School of Design’s art department, studying both photography and art. “But you have to be practical,” she noted. “Most people can’t afford to buy paintings or even photographs.” She too turned to education.and still holds two teaching jobs, one at Grymes School in Orange and another at Highland School in Warrenton. But in the meantime, she had lri$d h*r; band at painting ceramic tiles. "I made a couple of tiles and Phillip framed them out. They looked so neat but they weren’t very functional. We put my tiles together with his woodworking and came up with a knife rack.” That first melding of their talents planted the seed for her studio in the upstairs of the house they just finished and for Phillip's shop now under construction in the DISPERSAL EDMinm Saturday, March 28th 10:00 A.M.

Despite the nationwide resurgence of interest in crafts that has seen annual fairs—and sales opportunities—spring up across the country, the Stranges are reluctant to rely solely on the new family business for support. "We haven't cut the cord completely although we’d like to someday,” said Phillip who still teaches one woodworking course at Woodberry while Merrill commutes between classrooms in Orange and Fauquier. “We like that guaranteed income,” he added. “We’ve only been to two craft shows,” Merrill said. The carnival atmosphere and traveling like gypsies from show to show tdkes a little getting used to. “I’m not sure if I like them—it’s another world behind the curtains at the rear of those booths," she said. .According to Phillip, the turning point in his professional life came last year when he decided he either had to stay with teaching “and really dedicate myself or get out.” “Now’s the time when Phillip should be thinking up new ideas and putting them together,” Merrill said. Years of squeezing a few hours a week from preparation for tomorrow’s classes didn’t give those ideas enough time to develop in the woodworking shop. "To think you can teach and work seriously at a craft at the same time is a fantasy. Particularly with woodworking—it has a special cadence that shouldn't be interrupted. One had to go.” said Merrill. For Phillip, the teaching went. Merrill still stretches her hours to the snapping point, teaching art to a hundred or so kids at Grymes in two days, then instructing double periods back-to-back at Highland on another and devoting what’s left of the week to painting. “When spring rolls around. I have to find an opportunity for work in our garden. I’m looking forward to that!” From Ordinary To Art At her upstairs studio, Merrill turns ordinary ceramic tiles from a building supply warehouse into works of art. Most of her subjects are fish and flowers but she's branching off now into farm animals. “They're not as good to paint. Their colors don't fluctuate enough. Fish in the water give me great opportunities to use a wide range of colors.” ane also paints Trogs tnat squat ready to croak in the center of tiles. “You never know what's going to sell,” Merrill bemoaned. “Frogs went like hotcakes at the craft fair in Charlottesville so you make 500 for the show in Richmond. But in Richmond, everybody wanted fish—not a single frog sold." she added ruefully. Merrill is still experimenting with her tiles. She hasn't gotten around yet to making up a before-andafter color chart and so she's never quite sure what the final product will look like. Between the original painting. the firing, glazing and refiring in her tiny kiln, hues brighten and shift dramatically. "I have to get that chart done. It’s risky when you’re making a table top and the customer specifies that she absolutely doesn’t want any orange or red.” Besides the carload of knife racks—“that’s our bread and butter”—and other small items they’ve sold at two craft shows, most of the Stranges’ business comes from special commissions. “Framing Merrill’s work, that’s the story of my life," Phillip laughed. They’ve just finished a fireplace at Eldon Farms, tile tables scattered all over the county and a kitchen in Nantucket. They’ve also had "a nibble” from a New York City gift shop interested in stocking their work on a regular basis. Custom Service Phillip designs more than just fireplaces, tables and other “frames" for Merrill’s painted tiles. Recently, he fashioned a table out of marble from the Mexican Embassy for Hazel Fannon. “Custom work is one of the greatest services that a craftsman can provide. You can't go to Sears and get a frame for a piece of marble and you can’t go to Sears for a tile table top that doesn’t have any red in it,” he added. The Stranges are optimistic that their joint operation will expand. With that in mind, Phillip is building a huge shop to replace his little basement work area. “We don’t know what's going to happen with our business but we just want to build it once.
