Suit Challenges 1 Acre-Lot Variance Granted Bv BZA By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Nrw* Staff Writer In a suit filed last Friday, the circuit court has been asked to review a variance granted by the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals to Luther and Dorothy Atkins of Flint Hill. In papers filed October 9 by Washington attorney David Konick, petitioners Werner Krebser and Lee Bird allege that the BZA acted in bad faith in granting the variance, a decision that violates the county’s zoning ordinance. The Atkins sought a special use permit and variance in order to build a second dwelling unit on their two acre parcel and subsequently subdivide the property into two one acre lots. In testimony before the BZA on September 10, Mrs. Atkins explained that her current home is unsuited to the care of her seriously ill husband and that the two acres is more land than she can maintain properly. She told the board members that she plans to build a second house designed for home care of an invalid and to sell the existing structure with one acre of land. The BZA’s unanimous decision to grant the variance was improper because the board failed to make any findings of fact in accord with requirements in the zoning ordinance and the Virginia code for issuance of a special use permit and variance, according to the suit. “Not one scintilla of evidence was produced by the applicants to show that their property was acquired in good faith, and by reason of its exceptional narrowness, shallowness, size or shape, topographic conditions or other extraordinary situation or condition ... the strict application of the Ordinance would effectively prohibit or unreasonably restrict the use of the property,” the suit alleges. “Instead, the applicants produced only evidence of their personal infirmities, poor health, and financial difficulties.” According to the suit, the BZA also failed to make findings of fact that: —strict application of the ordinance to the Atkins’ property would produce undue hardship and that granting the variance would alleviate a clearly demonstrable hardship approaching confiscation as distinguished from a special privilege or convenience sought by the applicants, —the hardship was unique to the Atkins’ property and was not shared generally by other properties in the same zoning district and the same vicinity, —approval of the variance would not change the character of the district or be (Continued on Page 4) ParentTeacher Conference There will be no classes in Rappahannock County Public Schools on Friday, October 16.

A long time county resident and real estate agent, Mrs. Clark has felt for years that Rappahannock needed a restaurant that offered good food and a nice atmosphere at a reasonable price. “Rappahannock County has gotten very sophisticated but the people sum nave to travel some distance to find a place like that...By the time our young people pay a babysitter and drive to Loudoun or Fauquier, they can’t afford to dine out.” When no one else appeared to fill the breach, Peggy decided to try it herself. The upstairs of her real estate office at the corner of Route 647 has been remodeled into a dining room and kitchen, the downstairs into a conference room and neighborhood pub. Right-Of- Way Fight Adds To Centel Service Problems By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Ku|»|uihann<M'k Nrw» Staff Writer The announcement last month of a rate increase application by Central Telephone Company of Virginia sparked objections from local government officials who feel that any increase in rates should be tied to an improvement in the utility’s service record. The Rappahannock Board of Supervisors unanimously passed a resolution to join commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner in fighting Centel’s application to the State Corporation Commission unless problems with noise on the lines, difficulty in making long distance connections, interruptions in long distance calls and delays in getting phones installed and repaired are resolved. The Rappahannock supervisors also agreed to add their request to that of the Warren County board’s for a local hearing to give customers who can’t make the trip to SCC offices in Richmond an opportunity to express their concerns in person. According to Baumgardner, no word has been received yet on holding the hearing on the rate application in Centel’s service area. Instead, the commonwealth’s attorney reported, a hearing has been set tentatively for early December in Richmond. Written comments will be accepted, however, and since he plans to attend the hearing, Baumgardner suggested that interested parties send their letters to him at P. O. Box 235, Washington, for presentation to the SCC. Line In Hirer The phone company’s cable in Harris Hollow follows a route that takes it along the road on top of the ground, over tree branches and bushes and into the Rush River for stretches of 50 and 100 yards. According to several eentel customers served by that cable, they have registered repeated complaints over the past few weeks, particularly regarding noise on the line. This reporter contacted Centel area manager Bill Flippo for an explanation of the underwater line and his response gives another side to the service story, a side that deserves publicity in light of (Continued on Page 12) — Rappahannock New* Photo/S. Latham THE CORNER POST, a new restaurant, will be opened this weekend in Flint Hill by Peggy Clark. The two story building has a dining room upstairs and the “go down” on the lower level with a conference room there also. The rooms are pleasantly appointed and promise pleasurable dining. With a breakfast-lunch counter of old barn wood as the focus, the atmosphere in the wall papered upstairs dining room is classy but comfortable. Open at 7:30 a.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, The corner Post will offer one menu for breakfast. The line up for lunch includes a daily special plus sandwich and salad platters. "We’re doing this basically for the working people who are on the move,” Peggy noted. Dinner will be a more relaxed affair. “We want to do the basic things well with good American food plus international cuisine,” she noted. “We want our customers to feel unhurried and relaxed...The food will be affordable but with a gourmet side to it.” Initially, The Corner Post will serve only wine and beer, domestic and imported, with selections to fit every wallet. “I feel that this is a very sophisticated time. We’re beyond the point where one doesn’t enjoy these things with good food,” Clark maintained. She plans later to apply for a mixed beverage license. “I hope that’s not going to frighten anyone. We are not going to turn this into a bar, per se,” she said. (Continued on Page 4) EES THE CORNER POST RESTAURANT Federal Budget Cuts Felt In County Welfare Services As of October 1, eight of Rappahannock’s “needy poor” began to feel the pinch of the Reagan administration’s welfare belt tightening. All eight receive companion services, one of the programs formerly under Title XX categorical grants Holiday Closings Yorktown Day, Monday, October 19, will be celebrated as a general holiday with all county offices, the Rappahannock National Bank and Farmers and Merchants Bank closed. Most business establishments and the Post Offices in the County will be open as usual. . which will now be funded through block grants awarded to the state. Acting welfare director Nancy Reeve described companion services as one of the most humane and cost effective programs administered by the welfare department. “It improves the quality of life for older people just tremendously.” The block grant approach will leave companion services with a smaller slice of the federal pie, however, and as a result, the state welfare department ordered a 33 percent cut in the program, effective October 1. Companion services gives elderly or disabled persons an alternative to nursing home care. For those who qualify, the welfare department provides a paid companion at $2.40 an hour—in many cases, someone on the welfare rolls—who can do the jobs and chores that enable the client to remain in his or her home. To be eligible, the client must be either disabled or over age 65 with a maximum income of $284 per month and only $1,500 in resources, excluding house and lot. In practically all cases, the client would be placed in a nursing home or similar institution at public expense if the services of the companion were discontinued. Critical Services It is the amount of time the client is allowed to have someone in the home to help with jobs that has been cut by a third. “We’re talking about a reduction in critical services in most cases,” Reeve noted. Of the eight local recipients of companion services, all are natives of Rappahannock County, “all have been producing members of society in the past,” said Reeve. “Most of them will struggle to stay at home as long as they continue to get some companion services, as long as there aren’t further drastic cuts in the program or as long as they don’t become more incapacitated.” Not only will the current recipients have the hours they receive help cut by 33 percent: the reduction in funding has made it impossible for the welfare department to take any new clients unless they lose or drop a client they already have, according to Reeve. She noted that companion services is an optional program, the single program provided by Rappahannock County that is not mandated by federal and state government, and therefore one that has always been restricted to some degree.

After more than half a century of minding the store. Boo and Frances Bradford have turned over the front .. door keys to what has become a village landmark.

Va 22186 we’ll always very fondly say ’Bradford’s,” Lillard promised. The business first opened in the 1920s as Carey’s Store House. "Boo’s dad had a place on the comer. He took over here in 1930 and changed the name to Bradford’s,” Frances recalled. "Boo’s had it since the '40s when his father died.” “I’ve been working here close to 60 years. I helped my father when I was a boy,” her husband added. Back in the old days, Bradford’s was a country store with a dash of something special. From 1946 to 1966, upstairs was ^transformed into toyland for. Christmas shoppers, much to the delight of local youngsters. “We had over 1,000 people here every year on Thanksgiving to see Santa,” said Frances. “I remember that!’’ chimed in Jean’s sister Judy Smith, back home from Arizona for a visit. “I’d never seen so many toys in all my life. That’s when I sat on Santa’s lap.” Santa quit coming when the Bradfords’ kids stopped believing and the magical toyland was remodeled into upstairs apartments. But Bradford’s kept its dash of something special. Frances had been making sandwiches in the warehouse rooms next door. Business was so brisk that she and Boo decided to open a snack barrestaurant in the space. That was in 1975, a banner year for Flint Hill. “We had three businesses open— Bradford’s Restaurant.

Village life focuses there; old timers ga'ther around pot-bellied stoves for a game of checkers and tall tales of the good old days; newcomers learn survival skills of country living—who to call to fix a broken water pump or plow a snow clogged driveway, what kind of snake that was they killed next to the wood pile, where to buy farm fresh efts and just-pressed cider. , J Boo ami Frances Bradford took that general store heritage and with the addition of their restaurant business, spiced it up with a bit of sophistication. Bradford's Superette became "the club.” Every morning, a contingent of Flint Hill ladies gathered around the tables for coffee, sweet rolls and conversation. At lunch time, local farmers and the staff of Farmers and Merchants Bank were joined by the court house crowd and business people from Washington. Villagers and nearby residents trooped in again for country cookin’ at dinner time. And in the midst of it all was Frances Bradford, skipping from table to table, gathering all the news fit to print—and then some. If there was gossip that Frances hadn’t heard, it wasn't worth knowing. She was THE source, Rappahannock’s version of Watergate’s “Deep Throat”. For the six years the restaurant was open, real estate agent Roger Batchelder was a lunch counter fixture, the most regular of Bradford’s legion of regulars. “I used to call her ‘Ma Bradford’,” Batchelder noted. "Her menu varied from hamburgers to salsify sandwiches. You probably don't even know what salsify is. Most people don’t. Mrs. Bradford used to get it from Herb Foster. She’d peel it and fix it into sandwiches for me because I don’t eat meat. It’s just an example of how far she’d go to satisfy everybody from vegetarians to meat eaters. “She was the first one there in the morning and the last to leave at night. She was very much loved and respected. Mrs. Bradford always had a happy word and a smile for everybody—well, almost everybody,” Batchelder added, chuckling. “She was a friend to everyone, old timers and newcomers alike. She didn’t show any partiality. She treated everyone equally." The store’s popularity was a mixed blessing, however. Business was great but the work kept increasing. As failing health forced Boo to transfer more responsibilities to Frances, the load eventually became too much to carry. First the restaurant closed and then the couple decided to put the store up for sale. we appreciate so muen not only the Rappahannock people who have supported us over the years but also our customers from Culpeper, Warren and Fauquier counties, both for the store and the restaurant. We especially want to thank the people from Flint Hill and in particular, Jim Bill Fletcher,” Frances said. The Sperryville lawyer "always stood by me. He was never too busy—he could always find the time for Boo and me,” she added. The property was listed with Roy Wheeler in Warrenton, the real estate office where Jean Lillard works. But with interest rates almost as high as the Blue Ridge Mountains, homes, businesses; land—anything that must carry a mortgage—move slowly. “If I can’t sell my properties, I buy them. See what I got this time!” Lillard joked. “No, seriously, Bob and 1 had talked about buying the store but we’d decided there was no way one person could Introducing * 1J COUNTRY PLUS you are invited to Country Plus featuring a unique experience in Country Gifts and Furnishings Peggy and Roger Kube Helen and Chuck Ryan Phyllis and Bob Ryan Join us for refreshments 302 S.

Gwen Parker, cashier and clerk with the Bradfords’ for four years, is staying on under the new management. "That’s a big help,” Jean noted.

New Baptist Minister Is Pastoral Care Specialist Steven Scoggin is in the vanguard of a fresh approach to parish ministry. The new pastor of Washington Baptist Church, a native of Oklahoma City and graduate of the University of Oklahoma, received a master’s of divinity from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky. where he focused his studies on pastoral care. Pastoral care is a specialized field that reflects the increased demands placed on ministers for counseling help. “It’s an integration of the psychological and spiritual disciplines; a more holistic approach to caring foi- people in the church,” Scocsin explained. In work towards a master’s degree, Scoggin addressed the general field of pastoral care, dealing with all age groups—childhood to senior adults. For a year, he served an internship at a hospital in Winston-Salem N. C., rotating between the intensive care and psychiatric units. He responded to all deaths, counseling families in an effort to assist them in dealing with the loss of a loved one. Scoggin also helped needy individuals find housing and food and was involved with counseling couples, families and adolescents through a E±±±±±±±±±±g±£±±±±fo i •» t THE RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE Invites you to its annual Fall Cocktail Party and Buffet Saturday, October 24, 5:00-7:00 P.M.

WHO ARE THE BUYERS? oasicauy, tnere are three classes of people who look at homes. The first kind is in a hurry to move. They may have been transferred or already sold their present home or just want to make a quick decision. The second kind has no sense of urgency. They are looking for a real bargain. They think that by buying directly from an owner they can save the commission, or worse, they want to find someone who is desperate to sell and buy the home for thousands of dollars under fair market vajue. The third kind will never buy. They can’t afford to or just don’t want to - but they enjoy looking at homes for a pastime. Studies show that 86 percent of classified home sale ads are run by REALTORS. This means that the second and third groups of non-buyers will be compressed into viewing only 14 percent of the ads. If you’re serious about selling your home instead of just showing it, doesn't it make sense to list it with a REALTOR?

At the same time, Scoggin began studies for a master’s degree in pastoral counseling at Wake Forest University. Currently, he’s in the process of doing research for a doctoral thesis. “I haven’t narrowed the topic yet but it will have something to do with the family and the church’s response to the family.” After spending most of his ministry that first year in the hospital and counseling center, Scoggin “felt the need to get out into a local church...Then in the interviewing process, we—my wife and I—felt led to come here,” he explained. His wife, Nancy, also a graduate of the University of Oklahoma with a bachelor’s degree in history, is planning to teach as a substitute this year in the county’s public schools. Next fall, she intends to reenter college in order to gain certification as a teacher and wants to attend law school at some point in the future. “We also want to begin a family,” Steven added. On his list of hobbies and interests, the 26-year-old minister puts reading in the top slot. “I’m a compulsive reader,” he admitted. Next comes anything athletic, particularly tennis, racketball and softball. “And I love antiques," he said, noting that his mother is a dealer. The Scoggins are impressed with what they’ve found in Rappahannock REV. STEVEN SCOGGIN County. "Geographically, it's one of the most beautiful places we’ve lived. All the people we’ve met so far have been very warm, very caring,” he said. Steven also likes the ecumenical spirit that flourishes in the area. “Generally, there seems to be a lot of cooperation between the different churches, a coming together, particularly on a seasonal basis at Thanksgiving and Lent.” As a beginning to his ministry in Rappahannock, Scoggin plans a general pastoral visitation program to determine church and community needs. "I want to let people know who I am and find out from them how the church can play a bigger part in their lives.” Library Rare Exhibits i I wo medieval arts will be [ exhibited and demonstrated l in the Rappahannock County t Library October 17 and 18, during the Fall House Tour weekend.

During World War II, I was appointed to the first class of WAVE officer candidates in Washington. “While working the swing shift in the Office of Communications Intelligence, I was fortunate to be able to sandwich in instruction in bookbinding from a distinguished English illuminator and bookbinder who was then working for the National Cathedral; therefore my training in this medieval art of handbinding and tooling is based on the English tradition. “I do full leather tightback bindings using English goat or American buffalo. iMMNMkiMMMMHMUUUMUUMUUUUUl4UU| Rappahannock County HOUSETOUR AND DRIED FLOWER SALE Saturday and Sunday October 17 and 18 \ 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday: 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday I 3 HOMESOPEN \ 5 Block Ticket $5.00 J Single House $2.00 • i Tour Headquarters and Flower Salesroom at Trinity Church Parish Hall, Washington, Va.

After filling their baskets with Red and Golden Delicious, Stayman and Winesaps, the apple pickers enjoyed a tour of the farm on a hay ride. Later, they helped prepare a “chuck wagon” supper by the pond. The outing was part of the social recreation program instituted last April by parents and concerned citizens who saw a need for increasing experiences and improving social skills for mentally retarded teenagers and adults.

Service programs funded through Title XX are taking the brunt of the budget axe, at least in Rappahannock. Assistance to specified disabled individuals, for instance, has been cut entirely from the local welfare budget. “There wasn’t enough money to finance that and companion services too, and we felt companion services had the most crying need,” Reeve reported. She noted that the welfare department currently has a retarded client in the Lynchburg training center who has been judged ready to be released to a less restrictive environment. “We don’t know what will happen," she said, pointing out that services to the retarded have been cut at the local, regional and state levels. “We have a meeting on that case on Tuesday,” Reeve added. Indirect Effects Welfare cuts that have drawn attention throughout the rest of the country will have more indirect than direct impact in Rappahannock County, according to the acting director. Previously, working mothers receiving ADC benefits were allowed to deduct work-related expenses. including cost of uniforms and cost of travel to and from the job. "Now they’ll get a flat expense allowance whether they drive to the city or just two miles down the road,” Reeve said. She noted, however, that this change will effect few recipients here, at least at present since the overwhelming majority of ADC mothers are only employed part-time at low paying jobs close to home. “In Rappahannock County, most of the mothers who can find a 40 hour per week job with an adequate salary don't stay on assistance. In fact, we don’t have a single one at present. That’s not true in other localities and it’s not always been true here but it’s the way our (ADC) caseload is made up now...Most of the mothers with good jobs don’t want the hassle of welfare, even if they still qualify. They have pride and self-respect and they want their privacy.” New ADC regulations also include changes in the way a stepparent’s income is counted against a child's needs. Reeve said. “But there we don’t have a single affected case now in Rappahannock County either.” Another ADC revision will have a direct effect on welfare staff and a corresponding indirect impact on service recipients. Formerly, the ADC caseworker reviewed each case every six months. In addition, clients were required to report any change in status affecting eligibility for the program within 24 hours. There was a SSO leeway on income: it could go up or down by $50 before affecting the ADC grant. Monthly Review Now. said Reeve. ADC recipients will have to report every month in person to the caseworker for a desk review whether or not there’s been any change which may affect eligibility. Asked for the reason behind this switch in regulations. Reeve said she’s received no official rationale. "I surmise that they felt there were changes we weren’t getting apprised of.” The $50 leeway in income also has been stricken. “Now any change in income will mean a change in the ADC grant...It may save money and it may cost more,” she said, particularly when the extra hours of work by the office assistant and ADC caseworker are considered. The heightened demand on staff time will indirectly affect welfare recipients. Although listed in the welfare budget under administrative costs, salary for the ADC and child services caseworkers would be alloted more properly to services, at least in part. Since the welfare board has official custody of foster children, caseworker Sylvia Krietler must be consulted by foster parents on all major decisions. “She has to be mother to many children,” Reeve noted. In addition, Krietler provides assistance with adoptions, protective services to children and court services. Both Krietler and Reeve, whose regular position is ADC caseworker, handle referrals for housing and employment and provide budget counseling. “That’s not really our responsibility but it's often difficult to separate financial problems from social problems,” Reeve noted. These and other duties aren’t in the job description for either position but “we do them as time allows and need arises,” she said. Also under the new regulations, ADC mothers with children under 6 years of age no longer will be automatically exempt from registering for work. The caseworker will have to deal with each woman on an individual basis. “Now we’ll have to assess things like the number of hours she’s with the child each day in order to determine if she must register,” Reeve said. But most of Rappahannock's welfare mothers who are not working are untrained, according to Reeve. "Not only do they lack job skills, they don’t even have job seeking skills!” No Job Training And at the same time that these untrained women are being required to register for work, the CETA (Comprehensive Employment Training Act) and WIN (Work Incentive) programs that would have provided training have been eliminated. “It will be difficult to find jobs for our ADC mothers who now have to register,” Reeve acknowledged. Formerly, CETA jobs helped women in this situation to establish good work records. Reeve said. "It helped them realize—in a protected situation—what is expected from them in the real world of work...It’s amazing how many of our mothers went off assistance even though they were still eligible under the old rules. That was directly WIN related,” Reeve pointed out. In other localities, drives are being mounted to attract and organize volunteers to fill in the gaps left by the first round of the Reagan administration’s budget cuts. Asked if a similar effort is planned in Rappahannock, Reeve replied “We like the idea but we don’t have the manpower to organize a volunteer program.” Volunteers could be especially neipiui in balancing the reduction in companion services, she noted. “If we could find volunteers who would visit with the elderly a few hours per day, cook a meal, do some light house cleaning or shopping, it will take up a lot of the slack...Maybe we can get a volunteer to actually organize a volunteer program or maybe the churches will step in to help.” _ —Rappahannock New Photo/T. Reynold* Our Rappahannock Heritage BZA Variance Challenged " (Continued from Page 1) detrimental to adjacent property, —the situation in regard to the Atkins’ property was so unique that the formulation of an amendment to the House Tour Begins (Continued from Page 1) Kilpatrick’s long service as a White House correspondent and columnist for the Washington Post. The gracious, old, Colonial home is painted in Williamsburg pastels and contains many Empire and Victorian antiques handed down from their grandparents. Mr. and Mrs. Russell had The Chimneys built in 1978 situated in a grove of trees on Route 522 where wagon trains passed as the pioneers made their way west. It is constructed in the Williamsburg architectural style and grounds ilapd-^ scaped accordingly, with a modern swimming pool nestled into the surroundings. This home boasts a lively, but friendly ghost who would never think of firghtening any one. All of the rooms are furnished with beautiful antiques, many family pieces, and include a walnut banquet table, cherry comer cupboard and cherry hunt board. There is an Empire sofa which was once owned by Chief Justice John Marshall, and an antique cradle used by three generations of the family. Meadowbrook Farm is the home of Dr. and Mrs. Werner Krebser at Huntly and is of Swiss chalet type construction, designed by Dr. Krebser and constructed in 1975. The low roofline, wide eaves, decorated window shutters and flower boxes and carved beams reflect the architecture of Krebser’s homeland. The carved furniture, leaded glass, tapestries and oil paintings, banquet table and chairs are all features of his native Switzerland. The vaulted entrance hall is lighted by a stained glass window. The spacious grounds contain a tennis court, swimming pool, greenhouse and lake. Trinity Episcopal Church was built in 1857 by James Leake Powers who served his apprenticeship under Thomas Jefferson and is of a country Gothic design. The white stucco structure has at tall steeple and is illuminated , by day "with " stained glasi windows.‘"A Rogers organ has recently been installed as a memorial. The church parish house also serves as a meeting place for many civic organizations and community activities. At the Historical Society building on both days of the tour, apple fritters will be sold to hungry patrons. The building also offers the opportunity for genealogical research to county families. Helen McKay, a local artist, will have a display of her paintings in the building, and maps, post cards, books and the new walking tour brochure of the town will be for sale there. At the Library a bookbinding demonstration will be in progress, and in the town near the flower salesroom, the ladies of the First Baptist Church will sell box lunches. zoning ordinance was impractical. The suit also contends that the BZA’s authorization of the variance constituted a rezoning, action that is a prerogative of the board of supervisors, and is therefore in violation of the Virginia Code. According to the documents filed October 9, the BZA members acted in bad faith “by completely ignoring” the Virginia Code requirements “which each and every one of them either knew or should have known prohibited the granting of the variance sought by the applicants and by failing to obtain and follow the advice of the County Attorney, Douglas K. Baumgardner.” The petitioners ask the circuit court to (1) review the BZA’s decision; (2) issue a restraining order enjoining the zoning administrator from issuing any building permit based on the BZA’s decision and enjoining the Atkins from proceeding to build or subdivide and (3) allow costs and reasonable attorney’s fees against the BZA members who took part in tne variance decision. As principal defendants, the suit names BZA chairman Josef Gardiner and BZA members James Massie, George Muth and James Swindler. “We are concerned for the integrity of the zoning ordinance,” said Dr. Krebser in explaining rationale behind the suit against the BZA. “We’re bringing the suit for that reason only,” Bird added. “It’s not directed at any individual. We regret that Mr. and Mrs. Atkins may be affected but there’s no other way for a citizen to protest against the B21A’s action. We realize that any legal action is likely to be taken personally but we want to emphasize that the Corner Post Opened (Continued from Page 1) There will be food service in ‘‘The Go Down,” basement pub that looks more private clubbish than bar. “It will be for diners primarily, not for people to drift in and out from the street just to drink,” she emphasized. It’s not mandatory for customers to order a full soup-to-desert meal just to be served alcoholic beverages, however. “There will always be a place for our professional people to come in the afternoon to discuss business over drinks and light refreshment,” Peggy noted. “We're trying to make the Corner Post a pleasing place. We’re not competing with anyone and we’re aiming primarily at local people,” she continued. As part of that effort, Peggy welcomes women who want to drop by in the morning for an informal coffee klatch. She’ll also close The Go Down lounge for private groups in addition to reserving the 25 seating capacity conference room. Peggy also invited people who plan on dining at The Corner Post on a regular basis to make their special dietary needs known: for instance, a meal that contains no sugar or no salt. The downstairs pub-lounge will be open to midnight on Friday and Saturday, closing the rest of the week at the same time as the upstairs area, around 10 p.m. The restaurant will serve only a buffet-style brunch on Sundays from noon until 5 p.m. and will be closed on Wednesdays. Reservations aren't required for upstairs dining—‘‘It will be first come, first served”—but are suggested for dinner in the downstairs lounge, according to Clark. Peggy’s a newcomer to the restaurant world and her first love is still real estate sales. Renovating and equipping The Corner Post "took a lot more money than I anticipated it would cost but if you’re going to do something. I believe you should do it well," she said. On Friday evening prior to The Corner Post’s grand opening at noon on Saturday, Peggy plans to open the restaurant to her friends and neighbors throughout Rappahannock County for a preview. She will offer very light refreshments at the October 16 open house from 5 to 7 p.m. The public is invited to stop in and see Rappahannock’s newest restaurant. “We don’t have any plastic flowers...It will be a simple but elegant service, I think the people of Rappahannock County are entitled to that, particularly in the evening. I love this area and I love the people here. We want this to be our place.” defendants in this case are the members of the BZA, not the property owners who requested the variance.” Motion To Dtemiaa In response to the request for a review of the BZA’s action by the circuit court, commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner, acting as counsel to the BZA, filed a motion to dismiss on Monday. In his motion, Baumgardner maintained that the petition for review of the BZA’s action is not in proper form since it does not specify the grounds on which Krebser and Bird are aggrieved by the granting of the variance. The Virginia Code “requires that petitioners be aggrieved by the decision appealed from and further requires that the grounds upon which petitioners are aggrieved be specified in the petition,” according to Baumgardner. Papers filed in Bird’s and Krebser’s behalf allege only that they have standing to bring the action by virtue of being taxpayers residing in Rappahannock at the time the BZA's decision was made and at the time their pertition was filed, Baumgardner noted. “Petitioners are in fact not ‘aggrieved’ in that they are not affected in any way by the issuance of the area variance and use permit appealed from,” he concluded. Turner Earns Degree Lawrence Turner of Huntly has completed graduation requirements for an associate of science degree in business administration from Steed College in Johnson City, Tennessee.

Parks Seek Volunteers In the face of a projected budgetary ihortfall which previously had forced state parks to announce reductions in public access to many facilities during this fall and early next spring, Commissioner Ben H. Bolen announced that volunteers are being recruited statewide to help in an effort to reopen hiking trails, picnic areas and some visitor centers. “If individuals and Organizations express enough interest by pledging their support, we can expect to initiate statewide programs similar to the one presently starting up at Seashore State Park in Virginia Beach,” Commissioner Bolen said. The volunteers will be asked to take over many tasks normally needed to properly operate the park’s public offerings.

The building that formerly accommodated the House of Gem and prior to that, the House of Baskets has emerged in its latest transformation as Chipmunk Hollow. Maree and Norberg, recent residents of Luray, are newcomers to the gift shop business as well as to this area. Their reason for opening the Sperryville shop? “Well, it was the proverbial love at first sight,” Maree said. “We drove through Sperryville and just fell in love with it.” Maree’s field is interior design and the arrangement of the shop shows it. Antique toys and furniture (on loan from the Apple Tree Cottage) are arranged among the wrappings and ribbons. Sleighs hang from the ceiling, ornaments, ribbons and novelty gifts are tucked into wooden crates and barrels. Lights twinkle, Christmas carols play, and the scent of evergreens fills the air. The effect is magical and enough to make visitors to Chipmunk Hollow feel Christmas-sy on a warm autumn day. A brief inspection of the shop turned up many gifts under five dollars and a selection for every age group as well as gifts suitable for other occasions besides Christmas. Among the stars of the Christmas collection are Jan Richardson’s ceramic houses—miniature dwellings that have a cozy, ramshackle look. Richardson received public recognition with her rendition of former Vice President Mondale's house and her designs are produced in limited editions. Tucked in among her houses in one display are votive candles with the color and fragrance of maple syrup. Beautifully stencilled wrapping paper is displayed everywhere in the store, and there is paper and ribbon to suit every mood from Victorian to country. Wreaths are everywhere—made of quilted fabric, grapevines and comshucks. i That’s right. Free concrete for the foundation when you buy a Butler farm building.

Chipmunk Hollow has ornaments of every conceivable kind, all kinds of lights, and a selection of skirts to cover the base of the Christmas tree. Maree and Norberg have decorated a very special tree with calico strawberries, green glass globes and plaid ribbon. It’s worth the trip there to see the careful display even if you haven’t thought about Christmas shopping yet Maree said that he and Norberg encourage browsers as well as children of every age. "We’ve tried to set it up so that people will sing along with the carols, sit on the floor, play with the toys and generally feel at home here,” Maree said. Maree added that response to the shop has been great, both from tourists and local people. “We hope that by carrying only quality things, we’ll provide a year-round service for the area,” he said. Howard Maree also has been elected president of Sperryville’s newly formed business council and has plans for that group to be very active in the coming year. "Our biggest project will be an apple festival next fall,” he said. “We’re starting to work on it now and we hope to involve all groups in the community.” Chipmunk Hollow is open every day from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. As the big day draws closer the owners will try to have it open until 7 every night. Present plans are to keep it open year-round except for major holidays and the first two weeks in January.

Rappahannock Farmer’s Co-op Sparryvill*, Va. 987-8SSS — Rappahannock News Photo^. Latham AT A POLITICAL RALLY SATURDAY in Rappahannock were Mrs. Andy Guest, Gov. John Dalton and Mrs. Dalton, Mrs. George Beard, Delegate Andy Guest and Delegate George Beard. Supporters of Andy Guest in his bid for the 18th Legislative District seat gathered at Montpelier on Route 231 for a barbecue, short speeches, music and drinks. Great Food And Good Music Vie With Politics at Guest Rally By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Vwj» Staff 1 ritrr Virginia Governor John Dalton and his wife Eddy were at Montpelier last weekend for an old fashioned Saturday of country music, picnicking and politicking. Two incumbent delegates, Raymond R. “Andy” Guest and George Beard, were there along with county notables and not-so-notables. But the real star of the day was Lottie Aylor’s lip smacking delicious homemade bar-b-que which drew folks back time and again to the end of the refreshment line on Montpelier’s porch. The outing was billed as a bipartisan Rappahannock Citizens for Andy Guest rally in support of the Republican incumbent’s re-election as delegate from the newly created 18th legislative district of Rappahannock, Clarke, Warren and Page counties. A five-term veteran of the General Assembly, Guest was the representative of Clarke, Warren, Frederick and the City of Winchester prior to re-districting. George Beard, Rappahannock's man in Richmond before he was lost to re-districting, led off the political speeches. In a short talk that drew smiles and chuckles from the audience, Beard gave Guest the credit for keeping him out of trouble during his freshman term in the Assembly. The two sat side by side in the delegates’ chambers that year and every time the novice legislator got up to speak—a real “no-no” for the first trip down to Richmond—Guest would tug on his shirt tail and whisper, “Not now Barbecue Dinner The Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Department will sponsor a chicken barbecue dinner on Saturday, October 17, at the Fire house.

Sit down!” Beard thanked Guest for those timely warnings, praising the Warren County farmer’s political acumen gained over ten years of service in the House of Delegates. Gov. Dalton followed Beard to the microphone to call for the re-election of both Republican incumbents. Beard and Guest share the “less government is better government” philosophy that reflects the traditional views of rural Virginians, the Governor said. Guest was the final speaker, promising to represent the wishes of his constituents in Richmond and to work to preserve a Commonwealth worth living in for their children and grandchildren. The oratory was short —short in length, short in standard political rhetoric and short on the issues raised in the 1981 campaign. Politickin’ at Montpelier on: Saturday was more personal, rather than crowd directed, with all the politicians circulating through the audience, listening to concerns and enjoying friendly conversation—and good food. Aide Here Wednesday Representative J. Kenneth Robinson is sending an assistant, Jim Hobgood to the Rappahannock County area on Wednesday, October 21. He will be at the Courthouse in Washington from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.

The Southern style pork barb-que came accompanied by a side dish of hot sauce for brave souls. Several ladies were noticed scurrying around, trying to find someone who would give them the recipe for Lottie’s perfect cole slaw, and the homemade applesauce was proof positive that Rappahannock grows the best apples in the country. Before and after the speeches, Larry LeHew entertained the audience, belting out country and bluegrass tunes to the accompaniment of Buck Ryan's band. Although the atmosphere was relaxed, the presence of the politicians —especially Virginia’s governor—added a touch ot dignity to the afternoon.

Thomas Baldwin s Business Ventures Run From Annies To Foxes By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New, Staff Writer Furry, cuddly, bright eyed and bushy tailed, the pups housed in cages behind Thomas Baldwin’s Sperryville fruit stand would bring chortles of delight and cries of mom, oh mom, please can we take one home!” from any youngster hungry for a pet. But these puppies are wild things, baby blue foxes that are the newest addition to Baldwin’s fur business. The Sperryville entrepreneur became a blue fox owner in April, starting with two pair purchased for SI ,600. Born in captivity, the gyps and dogs have none of the reticence about mating behind bars that spoils so many experiments in breeding wild animals. One gyp lost her litter but the other presented Baldwin with ten pups. Initially, he had planned to raise the foxes for pelts which sell at $285 a piece in Hong Kong. Limpid brown eyes peeping out from puffs of blue fur weakened his resolve. “I don’t think that I could slaughter them. They’re too pretty. I just like them too much,” he admitted. Soft hearted or not, Baldwin is still a business man. So instead of skinning the pups, he’s selling them as breeding stock, a pair at a time. The first two departed last week, leaving Thomas with $600 extra in his wallet. Multiply that by five and it’s obvious that Baldwin will get a reasonable return on his investment in the first year. And a dollar value can’t be attached to the pleasure that the lovely animals have given him. Life in a cage steals the natural beauty and grace from most wild things. Lions become mangy, overweight objects of pity, giving up all claims on the crown of king of beasts; elephants somehow shrink, losing their majesty and granduer; panthers become psychotic pacers, staring longingly toward freedom as they walk back and forth and back and forth. Adjusted To Captivity But the baby foxes in their wire enclosures have the same sense of playfulness, the same inquisitive slyness as their cousins in the wild. Their coats are full, fluffy and shining, their eyes bright and glistening. The presence of strangers interrupted rough and tumble romping and several pups retreated to the wooden dens at the rear of the cage when they heard voices other than Baldwin’s. But after a few minutes, they ventured forth, sticking their noses up against the wire to lick at and eventually grab a piece of apple presented as a peace offering. After a few tentative sniffs, they even dared to nuzzle and lick the fingers behind the apple, little pink tongues darting out between razor sharp rows of tiny teeth. As Baldwin distributed apples in each cage, he left the doors wide open. The babies came to the very edge and stuck their heads out but none made a stab at escaping. “I love to fool with them,” Thomas said, noting that when he comes by himself to their pens, they stay right at the doors, never even growling at his approach. According to Baldwin, the young foxes would be lost if they did manage to get away. "I couldn't return them to the wild. They wouldn’t know — Rappahannock News Photo/Daphne Hutrhinann “SENG” COLLECTOR Thomas Baldwin checks, over two bushels of the magic herb before setting the roots out for drying. Baldwin buys most of his ginseng from local hunters who comb the Blue Ridge and Bull Run Mountains, searching for the plant's distinctive yellow leaves and bright red berries during a digging season that runs from July 15 through the end of November. —Rappahannock Ncwa Photo/Thcrcaa Rrynotda CHECKING OUT THE WILDS beyond his cage, this blue fox puppy explores with his eyes only. The pups raised by Thomas Baldwin are the result of several generations of breeding in captivity and would perish if given their afreedom, according to the Sperryville businessman. — R*PP*hannock New* Photn/Theresa Reynold* THESE BABY BLUE FOXES will never raise cries of “John, Joh, the gray goose is gone and the fox runs away from the town-o. The pups raised by Thomas Baldwin of Sperryville much prefer fox chow and apples to raw meat or even plucked and cooked goose. what to do. They’d starve to death.” These foxes aren’t the scourge of the farmer’s hen house. They wouldn’t eat a chicken if it was plucked and served to them on a silver platter. According to Thomas, they'll nibble at an occasional chicken liver but that's about it. His foxes thrive on a diet of commercially prepared pellets, a dog chow for foxes, with an occasional apple tossed in for variety. Despite their acclamation to life in a cage, the little foxes never will be -truly domesticated. “You can’t pet them or play with them. They’re not tame. You have to handle them by the tail so they can’t bite you. When you’ve got them by the tail, they can’t turn their heads," Baldwin explained. Good Multiplier! In captivity, foxes breed in February with the gyp whelping a litter of eight to eighteen pups in April. The babies are full grown in about six months, Baldwin reported. “I don’t want to get too big into breeding them. I’ll keep some for my grandkids—maybe five gyps. That would give me about 50 pups per year. They accumulate mighty fast!" Thomas got his stock from a dealer out of New York who has been buying furs from the Sperryville businessman for the past eight years. “He has thirty some hundred silver and blue pups. He has his own tannery and his own coat factory. He’s a right big operator,” Baldwin reported. Thomas plans to buy a pair of silver foxes for $1,200 from his New York connection this winter and breed them as well as the blues on a small scale. Silvers offer a bigger profit margin with pelts selling in Hong Kong for $685, he reported. Besides eating essentially ALASKA KODIAK WOODBURNERS Waiting WONT Save You Money SALE SAVE/ SAVE/ SAVE! APPLIANCE & Randolph s equipment Rl. 29, North 825*9520 Culpeper _ •SALES • PARTS • SERVICE • the same dried food as the family dog, Baldwin’s blue foxes share another trait with their canine cousins—a requirement for veterinary care. Last week, the New York dealer stopped by Sperryville to give the foxes their annual rabies and distemper inoculations. For Dealer Beginning in midNovember, the dealer will be making regular trips to Sperryville, not to check on the foxes but to pick up furs from Baldwin. His long involvement in the fur trading business is what drew Thomas into breeding blue foxes in the first place. "I started fooling around with furs when I was IS years old. I used to buy them from my school mates. I’d pay SI.50 for a skunk hide and then sell it for $1.75 in New York. That was big money then!” In the almost 40 years since, Baldwin’s fur business has expanded a hundred fold. “People bring them into me, mostly from Tapr pahannock and Colonial Beach. 1 buy muskrat, beaver, otter and raccoon mostly. ‘Rats’ are the biggest catch." His New York connection picks up all the skins Thomas can collect and then remarkets the pelts in Hong Kong. Thomas also sells trapping supplies but as with the fur business, his clients are all from outside the county. “There's not a trapper left in Rapphannock," he noted. That's not to say he’s uninvolved in local business deals. The tour of the fox cages was delayed while Baldwin traded money to a young county man in exchange for a bag of copper. "1 buy copper, old batteries, all kinds of junk,” he explained. Orchardiat Too Crates at his fruit stand hold enough apples to put the entire medical profession out of work: winesaps, golden delicious, staymans, red delicious and such old fashioned varieties as maiden’s blush and Arkansas black. Pears just loaded with sugar spill over from baskets and boxes. A table at the rear of the stand holds a fpw lonely .looking tomatoes, the last of the produce from his vegetable garden. From his two orchards. Baldwin expects to harvest 10,000 to 12,000 bushels of apples this year. Most are sold to the canneries but Thomas holds back enough bins to keep his shelves stocked with fresh pressed cider marketed under his own label. The apples he sells at his stand he picks himself to avoid bruising the fruit. The path back to the fox cages passes Baldwin's kennel of coon hounds, some of the best varmint chasers in the state.

Baldwin’s hounds are friendly, stocky animals who wag all over at the sight of a visitor. One particularly handsome red tick is the son of a dog that was killed by a car just 11 days after Baldwin turned down an offer of $5,000 for him. But the dogs are part of Baldwin’s recreational life, not his business ventures. “Coon hunting is a lot of fun. It’s good exercise,” he explained. “Seng” la The Secret Even with help from his wife Cecil and their two sons. the orchards, fruit stand, fur business, scftp metal operation, garage and service station would seem to take more energy than a 54-yearold man can be expected to muster. Thomas Baldwin gets added vitality, however, from another of his ventures—cultivating, digging, buying and selling the miracle root, ginseng. Herbal lore has it that ginseng is good for just about whatever ails you. It’s supposed to decrease blood pressure, help ailments of the gall bladder, cure nervous frustration, stop vomiting, combat weakness after childbirth, bring an end to hangovers, banish a sore throat, give added strength, stretch life spans and increase sexual potency. The Chinese, in particular, treasure ginseng and will pay small fortunes for the oddly shaped roots that are supposed to be especially powerful. According to Baldwin, his dried ginseng now fetches $160 a pound, and that’s just for the ordinary stuff. “I chew ginseng every day of my life. It’s not a dope—it’s an herb, the oldest herb on the market. It’s good for the whole body. I eat a piece of it every day of my life and I’m 54 years old and pick all my own apples for my fruit stand—sometimes 150 bushels in two, three days,” Baldwin reported.

Both gentlemen shared similar views on major issues such as abortion and the death penalty. We would like to thank these two outstanding gentlemen for taking time to share their views and political experiences with the future leaders of this state. We would also like to thank Miss Griffin for arranging these talks in an effort to put seniors closer to Virginia’s political liaison. So if you ask a senior about the upcoming elections, don’t be surprised if you receive a thorough, slightly opinionated, well informed answer. The Senior class would like to remind everyone about the Flea-Fair to be held this weekend on the front lawn of the high school. Come by and have your car washed while you enjoy some free coffee and browse through the yard sale. The proceeds from this event will go towards financing an -annual senior trip.

The Lady Panthers hosted the Brentsville Tigers last week. Both the Rappahannock Junior Varsity and Varsity came out on the winning end. Our congratulations to them and hope that they may continue their winning ways.

Social Security Covers Most Farm Workers The earnings of most persons working on farms in Rappahannock are covered by social security it one of two tests is met, Bruce A. Hundley, Social Security manager in Culpeper, said recently. All wages paid are covered by the social security if the worker is paid $150 or more in cash wages during the calendar year for agricultural labor, or performs agricultural labor for an employer 20 or more days during the year for cash wages figured on a time basis—by the hour, day, week, or month.

Centel manager Bill Flipp explained that the temporary route is the result of a local landowner’s refusal to allow the phone company to use the existing power line right-of-way for its cables. Centel Service Problems (Continued from Page 1) the opposition to the utility’s pending application for a rate increase. “Some people just won’t work with you,” Flippo said, noting that difficulties with service in Harris Hollow first began last March. After receiving noise complaints, the utility tested the cable with special radar and found several wet places as well as whole sections with potential trouble spots, the manager reported. The original cable runs underneath Route 622 and since the highway department won’t allow the pavement to be dug up, the phone company looked at an alternative, Flippo said. Boring under the road was rejected because needed repairs were too extensive. “We knew we had to do something,” Flippo said, so a Centel engineer contacted the Dwner of the roadside property and requested a right-of-way to allow the phone company joint use of existing poles that now carry only power lines. “Adding our lines would have required no further disturbance of the land; he emphasized. Joint Uae Refused But the landowner refused to give her approval, the Centel manager said. As a reason, she cited past problems with power company workers who allegedly cut limbs and branches from the line’s path and broke her fences by piling the brush on top of them, according to Flippo. The utility’s head engineer next contacted the landowner and explained difficulties in providing adequate phone service over the existing cable. “She didn’t care if we had problems—she wasn’t going to let us use those poles,” Flippo said. “Finally, I called her last week, more or less pleading for cooperation,” he continued. The landowner would agree only to talk to her lawyer, Flippo said. In the meantime, he said, he’d authorized running first one and then a second cable following whatever route necessary—over branches, along the road, in the river bed—in order to provide phone service to two new customers after several weeks delay. The existing underground cable is at full capacity and “if a cable is in good shape, we can run it through a river without causing service problems,” Flippo noted. “Even though it looks bad, we’d rather for people to have service like that than no service at all.” Line-Up With Lyne ATTRACTIVE old 2-s.tory 7 room farm house, 2 stone chimneys, termite bonded, random width heart pine floors, 9 acres (Vi cleared), stream, old barn, beautiful view. $75,000.

By the end of the month, Flippo expects to have a new underground line running into Harris Hollow on the left side of Route 622 on property owned by George Sharp. When contacted by the phone company, Sharp offered to do “whatever he could to help us give customers better service,” the manager noted. According to Flippo, the landowner on the opposite side couldn’t have been compelled to allow the phone company use of the existing power line right-of-way. The utility “must first exhaust all other alternatives, regardless of cost,” he said. In this case, installing an underground cable on the opposite side of the road cost $5,000 more than joint use of power line poles, he reported. “Regardless of what people think about utilities, we try to provide service at the lowest possible cost. We’re paying $5,000 more to do the job because of the right-of-way problems,” Flippo said. He added, however, that the new cable, whether laid on the right or left side of the road, should give the 20-some customers in Harris Hollow better service than the existing underground line in addition to providing connections for more homes. ^kn—mU ^mh, ($aU4Uon, fa. <&*ca 1851 A splendid colonial...restful privacy on 45 rolling acres...stone fireplaces & exposed beams...beauttfully restored by Jon B.
