Rollins of Springfield, both for special use permits. Ruth Bowers asked the board to grant her request for a mobile home. She and her husband lost their home as well as their business, Blue Ridge Guns, in a January fire. While re-building their business, the Bowers’ have lived in a mobile home at the site, and Ruth Bowers asked the board to allow her to continue to do so while they rebuild their home. "This is the kind of business where our presence at night is necessary to protect it," Bowers said. “We must be right there at the site.” Blue Ridge Guns is located on Route 211 in Amissville and the Bowers trailer is presently to its rear. “We would consider it an abuse of our intent if that trailer is still there next year,” Peter Kramer said. “When will you begin construction of your home?” “We’ll begin right away,” Bowers responded. “As I said, we must live right there.” Jimmy Swindler asked Bowers if she presently had a temporary permit for the mobile home. “I’m not sure—we’ve gone through so much paper work,” Bowers said. Zoning Administrator David Konick responded for Bowers. “Under the new or(Continued on Page 3) Cattle Truck Overturned A cattle truck overturned in an accident Sunday on 211 near Beech Spring west of Sperry ville. Trooper R. A. Baines reported that Kazuharu Nogani of Bethesda, Maryland, driving a 1980 four-door Oldsmobile, was traveling westbound wnen ne tailed to negotiate a curve on Luray Mountain. Nogani’s vehicle went into the eastbound lane and struck a 1976 Chevrolet farm truck driven by Dwight Thomas Griffith of Luray, overturning the truck. Nogani was taken to the Luray Hospital by the Sperryville Rescue Squad. Suffering from head injuries, he was transferred to University of Virginia Hospital at Sperrvville where he remains a patient, according to Baines. Neither Griffith nor the livestock he was carrying in his truck—a bull, cow and calf—was injured. Baines reported damage to the truck as $500; the Oldsmobile driven by Nogani was totally destroyed. According to the trooper, his investigation into the accident is continuing. Charges are also pending in an earlier accident which occurred the previous Sunday, May 15, at the intersection of Routes 522 and 231 near Sperry ville, Baines noted. Timothy R. Jenkins of Sperryville was southbound on Route 522, driving a 1974 Chevrolet four-door sedan, when Robert W. Fletcher of Orange pulled from the stopsign into his path and was struck, according to Baines.

The morning prayer service, offered in honor of the county’s forebears and those from Rappahannock who gave their lives for this country, will be led by Rev. Jennings Hobson. In addition to honoring the patriotic dead, the ceremony will call attention to local efforts to raise funds for the continuing care of the cemetery. This peaceful plot of land was the burial site for Woodville Episcopalians and later, was to all citizens. In front of the cemetery in earlier days was an Epis copal Church - St. Paul’s — with a small but active congregation. Dr. Brown’s family worshipped here, and the Masons, the Yanceys, the Stevensons and the Henrys. St. Pauls has an interesting history. Harold Brown, son of Dr. James Brown of Woodville, said that the land had been set aside for a public • 'rk for Woodville residei However, the rumor got t. ound that the Baptists were about to erect a church on this plot. Captain Walden, an influential local landowner and an Episcopalian, brought a wagonload of lumber to the site and unloaded it. This lumber was used to build St. Paul’s in 1840.

The answer will be revealed on May 27 and May 28 in the Rappahannock County High School auditorium. Production has been underway from the beginning of March to prepare for “Lady Audley’s Secret”, a musical based on the 1860 novel by Mary Elizabeth Braddon. “Lady Audley’s Secret” is an authentic example of ninetheenth century melodrama. The novel that was its inspiration was considered daring for its discussion of such matters as class prejudice, marital infidelity and madness a disease which in 1862 was considered at the very least hereditary and quite contagious.

By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer “We’ll have a new jail for Christmas,” announced Supervisors H. B. Wood after Rappahannock’s board voted unanimously at Tuesday’s special meeting to issue a contract to Baughan Construction Company of Luray for renovation of the countv jail. At $122,475, Baughan was the low bidder on the project. Work can begin as soon as the contract is signed, said architect Hunter Spencer, noting that signing must be within 30 days of the May 19 bid opening. “That’s as long as the prices are good for.” He estimated five months construction time, dependant upon receipt of special security items such as locks and doors. Since those materials are expected to take the longest time for delivery, the contractor will have to show proof immediately after contracts are signed that the security items have been ordered, Spencer said. Also by unanimous vote, the supervisors agreed to ask Baughan for a price on paving the prisoner exercise yard and access road (now graveled), painting the roof of the jail building and repairing the sidewalks. “There’s one more thing—the kitchen,” Supervisor Charles Estes interjected, deferring to the county sheriff. “I can see where we’re going to have a big problem,” W. A. Buntin reported. Last spring, when Department of Corrections’ representative Tony Bottley toured the old lock-up and gave initial recommendations and cost estimates for bringing the building up to jail standards, "he convinced us that catering was the way to go," the sheriff told the supervisors. "Hut Rappahannock County doesn’t have any restaurant that’s open seven days a week that could cater (meals for jail prisoners)." In order to provide meals for inmates, the sheriff suggested adding a kitchen to the jail renovation plans. "If we use the kitchen here, we'll have to hire a cook,” Bunt in added. “My only question is, what will it cost to bring the kitchen up to Health Department standards?” Estes asked. Renovation plans, which started out throuirh the beaurocratic approval process last spring and have been reviewed repeatedly by the supervisors. Department of Correct ions' personnel and the sheriff, call for the basement of the building to be used for mechanical rooms, Spencer noted. The basement is also where the existing jail kitchen is located. “You cannot have mechanical rooms and a kitchen in the same room,” the architect said. In addition, meeting Health Department requirements would mean a “drastic change" in existing facilities, added Spencer. "We're going to void the whole project," cautioned chairman.).

"I think you answered (Continued on Page;{) Budget Cuts Missed By $20,368 An auditor’s error has left the Rappahannock supervisors $20,368 short of the $116,830 they thought they had cut from the proposed 1983-84 school budget earlier this month. Superintendent Robert Estabrook explained at Tuesday’s special meeting that the final draft of the proposed county budget shows the total deleted by the supervisors from the amount requested by the school board at $96,462. Rased on computations accountant Wally Cox made at the May 2 budget session, the supervisors thought they had reduced the bottom line of the school budget by $116,830. Estabrook guessed that the error came in the line items for salaries where Cox made quick calculations on how much savings would accrue by reducing requested pay hikes from seven to four percent. He asked the supervisors for direction on how to proceed. “I don’t want to offer contracts to teachers based on $20,000 more than you appropriated. I’m certainly not asking you to cut $20,000 more but we need to know your intentions.” The superintendent emphasized that he won’t know how many teachers will be returning next year until contracts are actually offered for 1983-84. After contracts are presented, teachers then have seveh days to accept or reject positions. “The longer we wait, the harder it will be to recrute,” Estabrook said. “It’s dear we went with four percent raises.” chairman J. K. Latham replied, adding that whatever that percentage gave as the amount for salaries in the different line items in the budget is the amount intended by the supervisors. “If in fact, you only cut $%,()(>(), you’re still saying we can go ahead and issue contracts (with four percent salary increases over the current year)?" Estabrook said. “Personally, 1 think you should,” Supervisor Charles Estes answered. “We were dealing with percentages, not with dollar amounts ...we gave the teachers a percentage increase based on a reasonable raise in a hard times situation.” But in reaffirming approval for school expenditures, he emphasized that it applied only to salaries. Supervisors H. It. Wood and Hubert (Jilke.v likewise reiterated support for the four percent pay hikes. "Hut I want to know from Mr. Cox where the $20,:M>N different lies,” Wood added. Cox will he requested to bring that information on to the board's June <> meeting which will include a public hearing on the entire county budget for litKJ-H I.

Apparently, the rate will have to be raised one cent or (Continued on I'age 11) Baumgardner Will Not Seek Re-Election Douglas K. Baumgardner, incumbent commonwealth’s attorney for Rappahannock County, announced on Tuesday that he will not seek re-election to the office this November. “Instead, I intend to devote more time to my family, private law practice and business interests,” Baumgardner said. Of his four years as commonwealth’s attorney, he added, “I want to thank the people of Rappahannock County for giving me the opportunity to serve them in this capacity.” While he wouldn’t rule out seeking some other elective office at a future point in time, Baumgardner emphasized that such a move would not come in the near future. In Rappahannock, the office of commonwealth's attorney is a part-time position. Salary for the post included in the proposed 19M-S4 budget is $19,750, the same level of compensation paid in the current year. The county will also pay $9,212 for the common wealth’s attorney office assistant and $df»H for parttime office help, under the proposed budget. In addition, the commonwealth’s attorney here serves as county attorney and advisor on lej^al matters to local ('overninf' bodies, including the hoard of supervisors, hoard of zoning appeals, planning commission, water and sewer authority and school hoard. The commonwealth’s attorney does not receive extra compensation for that duty. Judge Asks For Jane Doe “I’d like to get that case ...it’s been around for a while,” said Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson after hearing from Commonwealth Attorney Doug Baumgardner that the drugrelated case, on the docket for May 19, needed to be continued again. “Jane Doe”, an anonymous women indicted for an jnsjjecified drug-related feljny charge, is a resident of another state, Haumgardner explained, and extradition has been delaying her trial. Doe was indicted by a fall grand jury after a largescale state and local drug surveillance effort was completed in Rappahannock and neighboring counties. To date, only one charge, reduced to a misdemeanor, has been heard in court. Often, the “Jane or John Doe” pseudonym is used to pre vent flight by the accused, or by persons suspected of related crimes. The court continued the case until .June 2 at 10:00 a.m. Also continued were the cases of the nine people indicted for welfare fraud May 9, who were advised to engage court-appointed or selfemployed lawyers by that date. Harold Brown:: “All That I Did, I Loved Doing99 Bv THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock New* Staff Writer At 85, Mr. Harold Brown has the good looks and sharp mind of a man twenty years younger. Although blind for the past two years, he’s been active since his retirement from a very successful 43-year banking career. He counsels older people, free of charge, on investment and financial planning, meets with the board of directors each month of thtt^henandoah National Bank irv\Winchester where he serve^ as executive officer for 33 years, and is leading the effort to provide perpetual care for St. Paul’s cemetery in Woodviile. “All that 1 did, I loved doing,” Mr. Brown said about his life as a country banker. This is the story of his career as he told it at the home of his daughter, Frances Russell, in Flint Hill. “1 was bom in Woodviile in October, 1898, the son of Dr. J. G. Brown, and lived for 27 years in the county. I went with my father twice a year to Culpeper to buy farm machinery and do our banking, a three-hour drive then by horse and buggy. I was about thirteen when he began leaving me at the bank with the cashier, and older man who wore two pens behind his ears - a goose quill pen and a regular ink |>en. Of course, all banking then was done with pen and ink.” Young Harold’s interest in banking stemmed from the kind cashier, who let him sit up on a high stool at the adding machine and operate it and then brought him down to the vault to count the silver and gold. Brown graduated from high school, taking extra courses that his father oaid for. He started college but dropped out after two years with a persistent and painful stomach ulcer. (Continued on Page 3)

/ ' Alcoholics Share Friendship and Support As They Recover,* Editor’s note: uunng the month oj May, the Rappahannock Sews will feature a fourfxirt senes on alcoholism, the nature of the disease, individual case studies, co-alcoholics and treatment. Our choice o) alcoholism as a topic during mental health month is intended to call attention to this major mental health problem of our tune and to provide, perhaps, some hope to those who suffer in silence from this disease.

By DAPHNF HUTCHINSON THERESA REYNOLDS “People say the best things in life are free. I never believed that - until 1 found AA.” f or most alcoholics, the key to sobriety lies in Alcoholics Anonymous. In its relatively short life span, AA has grown from 2,000 men and women in 1941 to well over a million today who meet regularly in more than 48,000 groups in the United States and Canada and in 108 other countries.

There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any cause. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.” A tall order but one that AA and its unique program fill. r ar too many people perceive AA meetings as grim sessions where life’s losers crv on each other’s shoulders. That picture couldn’t be further from reality. Certainly, alcoholics are serious about AA. They believe their lives depend on it. But "meeting” is an inadequate word to describe AA groups - “fellowship” is much more appropriate. Sessions begin with a prayer: “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference." Serenity, courage, wisdom - those words are hallmarks of the AA fellowship. There’s serentiy in the smiles and hugs that welcome newcomers and old timers alike to the AA meetings in Washington, Madison and Culpeper. A coffee pot sends its warm aroma throughout the room. “Where ever you find AA, you always find plenty of coffee," joked one non-practicing alcoholic. Friends catch up on gossip and share the latest family news. There’s courage in revealing short-comings and failures, problems and trials as the discussion moves around the table. There’s no pressure to speak. The chairman, a role that rotates through the membership, asks for a topic and then calls on various people in turn. If they don’t want to talk that evening, they announce, "I’m listening to Alcoholisms No One Knows Its Cost Part 4 night.” Hut each before answering introduces himself or herself with “Hi, I’m Mary - or Bob -- or Jim. And I’m an alcoholic.” And the fellowship returns the hello in unison. They smile and their smiles are real. There’s wisdom in the responses to the stories told at the AA sessions. To a tale of small victories over alcohol that a newly sober member relates, a veteran recalls that “You have to get a little better before you can get better, before you realize that you are getting better." There’s support and praise for triumphs. One woman tells how she directed her husband to lock up the bottle he had hidden in his car and was taking trips out for a secret nip. “I said that I didn’t want him to make it easy for me to get to the liquor. My sobriety's too precious. I didn't want to lose it on a whim or impulse. If I wanted to take a drink, I wanted it to be difficult, a conscious decision. It was the first time I’d ever stood up to him like that." The applause from her A A friends was spontaneous. There’s eloquence, even poetry in the stories. “Misery - I know misery. I was comfortable with it when I was drinking. It was like a favorite old bathrobe. I knew how it would feel when I put it on. I knew where the lumps were." There are stories that strike a common chord in everyone — alcoholic and nonalcoholic. "I set a higher standard for myself than for others. When my friends, my family didn’t reach a goal, a standard of conduct that I felt they should attain. I forgave them. But when I wasn’t perfect. I couldn't forgive myself." Or “I was a self-appointed care-taker. I took in the stray eats, the stray dogs, and the stray people. Somehow, I felt it was my responsibility to try to make amends for all the wrongs in the world. Everyone was my responsibility. ” They ponder why it is that alcoholics inflict the most pain on the people they love best, the people they’re closest to. "I guess it’s like that old saying, ‘Home is where they have to take you in.’ I could show my worst to the ones I loved most. They were stuck with me." The alcoholics in the fellowship search their souls, look at their feelings under a microscope, reflect on the changes in their thinking that AA has brought about. And they listen. So often in conversation, listeners listen with only half a mind. With the other half, they think about a snappy comeback, a clever response. At AA, the members of the fellowship listen. They listen with an intensity that is almost palpable, a concentration that is almost overwhelming. And they laugh. Those who have never been to an AA session cannot imagine the fun these recovering al coholics have with each other. They tell funny stories and they share jokes and most of the material centers on their disease. “When we talk about the changes in our lives, how they’ve been improved since AA, I remember what it used to be like to garden. I’d go out after a few belts of Scotch to plant my seeds and every time I’d bend over. I’d fall right on my head. It played havoc with my plate and crowns. Since I quit drinking, my dentist Is much happier to see me!” "And there was this old drunk who died. Two of his boozing buddies were at the funeral and someone asked, ‘What killed Jim?’ His friends replied, ‘The bottle.’ ‘Why didn’t he try AA?’ ‘Heck, he wasn’t that bad!’ ” Laughter is a potent medicine. It’s part of the attraction of the fellowship. “I go to AA meetings five or six times a week. It’s my lifeline. But, to tell the truth, it’s great fun." As a chuckling member explained, “No one's crying in their beer!" One veteran recalled how a long-time AA member had stopped attending. “She said she’d been going for 20 years and didn’t need it anymore. Didn’t need it? Why I wouldn’t miss my meetings for anything. I see all unfriends. We have a wonderful time. I'm 67 years old now and when I’m 87, I still plan to be here. Maybe I’ll be in a wheelchair and maybe I’ll need a white jacketed attendant to push me around, but, God willing. I’ll be here." God. the concept of a higher power, plays a major part in the AA program. But it’s not any particular God; it’s not the God of a specificestablished religion. Rather it’s a very personal supreme being, or as described in AA’s 12 steps to recovery, "a Power greater than ourselves. ’’ Alcoholic or non-alcoholic, you leave AA’s fellowship with a glow, a comfortable feeling of belonging, a renewed belief in yourself and others who share this world. You leave with ideas that everyone could put into practice to better their lives. Susan Not affiliated with Alcoholics Anonymous, but following some of their recovery principles is Primavera, a residential treatment center located near Rappahannock County on Rt. 229 between Warrenton and Culpeper. Fnmavera , the Greek goddess of spring, was chosen as a name because of the strong connection between spring and rebirth. The four-week treatment plan at the center meant rebirth in many ways for Susan: “I had been drinking off and on since 1959. I don’t remember a time when I didn’t want to stop. I tried — on my own, with AA — several times. When I became an alcoholic, my son had been murdered. Later, my husband died in a tragic accident. There were more tragedies, many of them. My efforts to stop just didn’t work. “As I grew older, my health suffered. I couldn’t sleep. I had terrible stomach pains. I knew they were a result of alcohol. I was desperate. In 1982, I learned about Primavera and decided to enter the residential program. “I was scared to death. But I knew that this was my only chance. I was afraid that the experience would be like boarding school - a terrible time for me. But I was determined. “At Primavera, I became acquainted with tough love - the term that AA uses for sympathetic treatment of alcoholics. The staff was won CHICKEN BAR B-Q DINNER Flint Hill Fire Hall Sat., May 28th 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. $3.50 per dinner Have Your Blood Pressure Checked While You Are There. derful, the . grounds beautiful, even thefood was good. “We had classes all day, mijed with group and individual therapy. We went to AA meetings at night - to Culpeper, to Warrenton, to Washington. We went to a meeting each night. Many of us had physical problems, although it is required to be detoxified first. Still, there is a lot of physical suffering. We had a medical exam each morning, first thing. One of the residents shook so badly that he had to be carried up the stairs. I had the stomach pains, but gradually, they disappeared. “I felt safe there. It was like a haven. There were restrictions on visitors and, when I went, limits on contacts with the outside world, even newspapers. That’s been changed. It dawned on me that I was going to make it. I had so much at stake. Without Primavera I would have died or lost my mind. It was as simple as that. With treatment I grew stronger, more sure. “We became so close. It was like a family - a very loving and tolerant family. So many people observe that alcoholics accept each other, without the tension, resentment and subtle competition found in other social groups. IT's true. The stakes are so high that petty concerns pale in comparison. “When our time was up, some didn’t want to leave - to go back outside to the pressures that might lead to drinking - to the real world that doesn’t care. But I was anxious to go - to get back, to try my strength.

Support Gives Boost To Recovering Alcoholic (Continued from Page 2) sure of myself. “It’s important to know that confidentiality is repsected at Primavera. No-one on the outside has the right to know who is there. Nobody’s business or family interests have to suffer because of their treatment. “Our goal when we left was to go to 90 AA meetings in 90 days. I have kept that goal and now, eight months later, I still go every day. I hope I will always go. It’s hard to explain, but our meetings aren’t grim. And my stay at Primavera wasn’t grim. We joked, we shared things, we had fun. We went fishing and played baseball. “I volunteer there every week. I can’t say how much it has meant to me. It saved my life.” Starting Point In Winchester, there is a center serving alcoholics brought there for appearing drunk in public. Chuck Poe. the director of Starting Point, said that his program, funded publicly, is an alternative to imprisonment for these offenses. “There’s no warrant, no record,” he said. “It ties in with recognition that alcoholism is a disease, not a crime.” For many of Poe’s clients, his four-hour detoxification program is a step in a desperate cycle of drunkeness, and panhandling, intermixed with periods of sobriety where alcoholics take low-level manual jobs and struggle to get the funds to get drunk again. “There’s no question about it,” Poe said. “Many of them have hit bottom.” But the Starting Point program has proved to be an economical w'ay to deal with public drunkenness. “In terms of expense, this costs the public much less than imprisonment,” he said. There is another part to Starting Point. After the four-hour detoxification required by law, about five percent of those in the program choose to stay for a two-week alcoholic treatment program. ‘Those that do stay have a high success rate—about 60%,” he said. “I think they realize that, af ter two weeks, it’s a long way back to zero.” Starting Point’s treatment program also uses recovery techniques of AA, and encourages follow-up in AA. The enormity of the problem is indicated by the number of people brought to Starting Point by law enforcement officers - 3,400 in less than ten months. And these are just alcoholics drunk in public in surrounding areas. For the majority, the program represents a more humane and realistic way of dealing with chronic alcoholic offenders. For those who choose to stay and perhaps recover, the Winchester program is indeed a starting point. Plans Proceeding On Time Capsule “This should be an interesting event,” said William Carrigan, one of the organizers behind Rappahannock’s 100 year time capsule which will be sealed this July 4th for reopening on Independence Day in the year 2083. “Would not it be interesting for us if we had a time capsule planted in 1833 with letters. documents and pictures telling about life in these parts, a message to open on July 4th this year?” On being asked to write a letter to school children of 2083 telling about school activities in 1983, one eighth grade student remarked that the time capsule is a pretty “neat” idea. Mr. Carrigan reported. The child continued, “Maybe I’ll be there for the opening. With all the medical advances to extend life, why not? I may have someone else’s heart or liver. It’s neat!” he added. According to Mr. Carrigan. writing letters to the s third, fourth, fifth, even sixth unborn generation to follow may make today’s Rappahannock citizens ask themselves what’s being done to make the county a better place to live in and what’s being done to preserve the environment for the future. Symbol Of Time The time capsule itself will be built in the shape of a pyramid, a symbol of time. A sealed copper box containing the donated artifacts and messages will be placed in the concrete, water-tight vault in the stone-faced capsule which will be located adjacent to the courthouse grounds in Washington. The fault will be sealed in a special ceremony the afternoon of July 4th. Organizers hope that the capsule’s stone exterior can be made of small stones (six inches or less in diameter), preferably stream-washed stones, collected and donated by students, names of children donating stones used for the pyramid will be placed in the fault. Arrangements for stone collection are being handled through Rappahannock County Elementary School and Wakefield. Youngsters , are asked to write their names on the stones or attach a card with name and address. County people—both full and part-time residents— are encouraged to write articles, letters and reports on life today in Rappahannock County and send the information to Diane Bruce or any member of the time capsule committee: William Carrigan.

Day realtor DEDICATED AREAS Did you ever go walking or play golf or tennis in a public park and wonder how the city ever acquired the park? If you look around, you might find a plaque or sign that says the park was given to the city by some individual. This is called, in real estate terms, a dedication. A person may dedicate a portion of his land for various public purposes if he wants to. For example, he might allow a portion of his property for use as a road. When he dedicates this land—this is called a “common law dedication”—the road may be nothing but a wide dirt and gravel path. The city may then accept it, pave it, and use it as a regular public street. In this instance, the person would actually own the land (the road), but the city would get an easement on the property for use as a street. On the other hand, the builder of a subdivision might allocate a part of the tract as a public park. In this instance, it may be to his advantage to give the park to the city complete with a deed. One of the obvious reasons for doing this would be to eliminate the paying of taxes by the subdivider.

Allins told the board that wsJwants to construct a new, passive solar home at the interior of his lot, located on Route (540. “This will be for our family use, Rollins said. “Either one of our sons will eventually occupy it or one of our parents.” Rollins told the board that the lot had not been subdivided before and that he was told prior to purchase by the former zoning administrator that it would be possible to construct a dwelling in addition to the building already there. “I’d hate to have to tear down this older dwelling,” Rollins said. “It’s a source of revenue for you (the county) and me. The board unanimously agreed to grant the permit to Mr. and Mrs. Rollins, after they found that their case met all zoning ordinance criteria. THE STORE FOR WOMEN FRONT ROYAL.

After two years, he was promoted to assistant cashier, a position that included most of the management of the bank. A raise went with the new position - he now got $75 a month and slept in a room over the bank. He was the first person to work at the bank who had gone to college or had taken courses in accounting, bank law or investments.

The decision was made not to rebuild the church, and the Episcopalians journeyed to Sperryville thereafter to worship at Emmanuel Episcopal. Other former leaders of Woodville are buried there: John Jett Reid, Lucy Penn Rodes (Reid’s wife). John H. Turner, Captain Henry Eitzhugh, I)r. W. H. Amiss, Dr. Lyle Millan, and Dr. James G. Brown. Among these deceased notables are the remains of Dovev Collier, a eat belonging to Rev. C. W. and Klla V. Collier, with the following epitaph: “I love you my darling and I miss you and am lonely without you.” Mrs. Collier provided fresh flowers on Uovey's grave every day, even in the deepest snow. Dovev died in 1919 and had been doted on by her masters. Harold Brown said that she ate nothing but the best cuts of beef from fine linen napkins. Her fancy tastes notwithstanding, Dovey’s presence offended the fami lies of some of the human dead buried at St. Paul’s. The body of the cat was moved outside the cemetery fence. Later, though, when the Millan family donated some adjacent land to enlarge the cemetery, the boundaries were changed and the cat’s grave was once again inside the gates. The cemetery today is a shady, pretty place, with many old-fashioned markers weathered w ith age and permanent flowers of peony and iris marking some of the old graves. A monument marks the site of the old church that blew away. — Jail Bid Accepted (L ontinued from rage 1) my question," Estes responded to the architect, agreeing with the supervisor chairman that the kitchen issue should be dropped. “The State Department of Corrections said they’re not going to approve keeping prisoners (in the renovated jail) until arrangements have been made to feed them,” Buntin countered. "I think arrangements can be made," rejoined Wood. "We've talked and talked about it in our office and can't figure out a way," Buntin said, noting that a caterer supplying meals will have to meet Health Department criteria for a commercial kitchen.

(The final figure included in the 19811-84 budget is $194,500 of which $81,500half of the estimate on construction—is to come from the state.) Although Supervisor Hubert Gilkey, who is also a contractor, assured the Hoard that the publicity would work to the county’s advantage, his fellow board members expressed doubt and voiced a preference for keeping the estimates an executive session matter.

Brown set out to increase the capitol of the bank by organizing and selling stock—bringing new people into the bank. In this way he hoped to encourage farmers who did their banking out of the county to invest locally instead. He advertised the bank’s services and eventually did build up the county business at the bank, increasing its ability to make loans and earn interest. Here he stayed until 1925. While in Rappahannock. Brown also started the first boy scout troop and was instrumental in bringing the first county agent, Sam Bee Preston, here. "1 was opposed on all side in this effort, even by mv own father," Brown said. “People said that the large landowners already knew how to farm and this was true to some extent. But I was thinking of the smaller farmer, who might want to diversify from apples and cattle and would need some assistance." Brown was eventually successful in his effort, gathering enough signatures on petitions to convince his skeptical board of directors. He interviewed several potential agents, finally supporting Preston, who turned out to be an outstanding asset to the county. Brown said. In 1925, Brown was offered the job of directing the Culpeper National Bank, which has been closed for two months in those troubled financial times. “I knew it was a risk,” he said. "But I was young enough so that if I managed to save the hank, my career would be made. If I failed, I was still young enough to start over.” Brown succeeded, and in a short time the bank was growing. Brown was active in the community in Cul peper as well, in the church and in the chamber of commerce, which he served as president for three years. Brown moved again, to Richmond as executive officer of a bank there, and again, to Winchester where he was nanusl chief executive officer of the Shenandoah National Bank, serving there from ItMl until 1W4, when he retired at <><> years of age. 1 loved hanking, he said. "1 was interested, not only in my banks, blit in anything that would improve Ameriean banking.” "I’m not telling these things to promote myself, or to brag,” Brown said. “But long ago. |H*ople used to know me in Rappahannock and now they don't because I’ve been out of the county so long. If the new people and the young people know something about me. then they might be more willing to help me in this effort." Brown's goal in his retirement is to raise enough money to guarantee perpetual care lor St. I’aid's cemetery. “Sometimes I get trustrated," he said of his blindness. “Sometimes I get depressed, but I want to accomplish this before I die, not just for myself, but for everyone that's gone before."

Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1983 Public Interest We frequently have to fight off the urge to fire a parting shot at letters to the editors that hit us broadside. We refrain—most of the time— from adding a final “editor’s note” because we believe that our critics deserve an uninterrupted say. But this week, we have a letter from Robert Eastham that not only merits a reply but actually asks for an answer. Eastham claims that the county’s current fiscal difficulties are the indirect result of a “no development” policy preached and legislated for years. Thanks to this policy, he maintains, young people have been forced to leave Rappahannock to find jobs because increased private employment has been “deliberately ruled out” here. If the school board member from Wakefield District had attended meetings of the planning commission, board of supervisors and board of zoning appeals over the past five years, he would have seen special use permits granted for garages, beauty salons, inspection stations, antique shops and furniture and cabinet making businesses. He would have seen local governing bodies grant approvals to pave the way for restoring an old mill into a restaurant and shops, remodeling a ski lodge into an adult group home and expanding the Rappahannock Farmers Cooperative. Recently, at the request of a local business and over the opposition of neighboring landowners, the supervisors enacted a zoning ordinance amendent to allow rifle ranges on agriculturally zoned land. By permit, Washington’s town council has approved new restaurants, an apartment building, professional offices and craft and gift shops. In recent years, we’ve seen only two proposals for commercial development rejected: the first for a faddish Alpine slide at the old ski area and the second for a tannery on the Thornton River in Sperryville. Both were ill conceived and both presented serious problems—the tannery with water quality and the slide with road adequacy and dust control and with the potential for establishing a precedent for future intensive development at the site. Rappahannock’s local government has also taken important steps toward protecting and encouraging the county’s biggest existing industry: agriculture. When Virginia General Assembly adopted land use legislation as a local option, it did so with the aim of giving localities another tool to preserve endanged farming operations. The supervisors adopted general use value taxation here for that very purpose. They did so at the urging of the head of the State Department of Taxation’s Property Tax Division who warned that without use value, implementation of 100 percent fair market taxation here would shift the tax burden onto farms, forests and open spaces. Eastham sees the land use taxation program adopted in 1981 as the direct cause of our current fiscal crisis. He claims that the differential assessment program allows $40 million of taxable assets to escape taxation each year. That sounds like an incredible chunk of money—$40,000,000. And it is not what land use taxation is costing Rappahannock’s tax payers. According to the commissioner of revenue, land use meant five cents on the tax rate in 1982. This'year, she re ports, it looks like it will be one cent or less. One cent. That’s the “gross inequity” that will be transferred in 1983 to the 90 percent of Rappahannock’s taxpayers who are not eligible for land use. We do not quarrel with Eastham’s contention that the county faces a fiscal emergency. It’s an emergency anytime taxpayers have to shoulder a 50 percent increase in the levy—from the current 32 cents per $100 of assessed value to the proposed 48 cents. But it was going to come sometime. According to the State Department of Taxation’s figures, Rappahannock’s true effective tax rate decreased at least 30 percent between 1966 and 1982. That happened because we looked the other way when faced with revenue demands. speaking Up Eastham calls on the Rappahannock News to commence speaking up editorally for the “general public interest” as it relates to land use and the county’s fiscal future. We have been. It’s in the general public interest to continue a use value taxation program that helps keep farming and its related operations in business. It’s in the general public interest to continue a use value taxation program that encourages the maintenance of forests and open spaces that are so attractive to the city dweller. It’s in the general public interest to have those city dwellers visiting Rappahannock. Eastham calls it “milking the transitory tourist.” Do Williamsburg and Waterford milk the transitory tourist? If that’s what it’s called, then we want to get into the milking business, too. But we prefer to look at it another way. The tourists spend their money for good food and comfortable lodgings. They hike in our beautiful mountains, fish in streams and ponds and ride over fields and trails. They watch historical pageants, purchase quality antiques, crafts and art, buy a bushel of apples, fresh vegetables or a bag of groceries for a picnic lunch and snacks and then fill up their gas tanks for the ride home. We call it giving value for value. And the value, the money these visitors leave behind keeps existing businesses in operation and encourages newr ones. We’ve never seen a “no development” sign at Rappahannock’s borders. Local government does take a long, hard look at residential development proposals and well they should. Experience has shown that residential development is a tax dollar drain, not a tax base enhancer. But appropriate commercial development is and has been welcome. As to Robert Eastham’s suggestion for a volunteer development commission, we encourage him to bring that idea to the supervisors. But he must recognize that Rappahannock will be competing against other localities with water and sewer systems, available housing, railroads, highways and other major transportation links, resident labor forces, broader educational opportunities and the other things that industry looks for in picking a site. However, if there’s one thing about the controversial Mr. Eastham that everyone can agree on, it’s that he doesn’t give up easily. The odds are long but maybe he can talk that perfect “light, non-polluting industry” to Rappahannock County. We certainly wish him luck in the effort. Donations Needed For RAAC The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community is soliciting special contributions to defray costs of the new projection equipment purchased for the Gay Street Theater’s film series. Cost of the equipment was $5,725. To date, $2,500 had been paid and the balance is due June 1. RAAC is asking for tax-deductible donations to help pay off this outstanding bill. Checks made out to RAAC may be mailed to Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community, Rt. 1, Box 301 A, Boston, Va. 22713. Our Rappahannock Heritage Letters to the Editor “No Development” Is The Problem To the editor: Your editorial of May 19th posed the problems but it did not give us "the answer” because it studiously avoided calling attention to the CAUSES of the problems. More intensive milking of “transient tourists” (if it were possible) would solve none of the problems which we, not the tourists, have made for ourselves. With our pitifully few commercial establishments barely holding on and unemployment in the county at a high rate, we do, indeed, have a “dismal economic picture.” But why? I suggest that it is because in this county we seem determined to keep it that way. Our county government, as a matter of policy for vears, has preached and legislated NO DEVELOPMENT. And your editorial posture also is to look through the telescope the wrong way so that the image you see of our county is also small - NO DEVELOPMENT. As a result, our high school graduates each year must continue to look outside the county for jobs and often have to migrate elsewhere, just as was the case when I was a boy 50 years ago. Their only recourse otherwise, and that of young people moving here, is to beat the drums for more tax-supported PUBLIC employment because we have deliberately ruled out increased PRIVATE employment here. The answer is to turn the telescope around to see a larger image, to set up our own volunteer development commission, aggressively to seek new commercial development and light, non-polluting industry for the county. We have no commercial and industrial tax base and never will have as long as we have the county borders posted with "keep out signs. Our county’s current FISCAL CRISIS stems indirectly from the above wrong-headed approach but immediately and directly from the adoption of general land use value taxation in June, 1981, and the continuing approval of tax-avoiding agricultural and forestal districts since then. Basically, we have only real property to tax and, no matter who owns it, it cannot move. It is sheer folly to allow $40 million of this taxable asset to escape taxation EACH YEAR through tax deferrals, with no industrial or commercial tax base to substitute for it. It produced the fiscal box in which our supervisors now find themselves and which forced the radical increase in the tax rate and slash in public services we all now face. And we are not discussing the gross inequity of transferring this tax burden from the “eligible” taxpayers (ten percent) to the “ineligible” taxpayers (90 percent) in the county. I must repeat that there was no excuse or justification for ANY owner of real estate in this county paying less in property taxes in 1982 than they did in 1981 between which years the supervisors approved a 1,5.4 percent increase in total county expenditures!! The answer here is for the supervisors to take another look at land use value taxation in Rappahannock County and to take appropriate steps to ameliorate its negative effects. Hopefully, before June 30 or else we must endure the effects for an additional year. It is also time for the RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS to commence speaking up editorially for the GENERAL public interest on this issue. ROBERT W. EASTHAM Flint Hill Identification Corrected To the editor: The other day, while visiting my mother at Amissville, I enjoyed the school pictures taken during the school year of 19411-50 you ran in the paper dated May 5. However, there are so many mistakes in the identification of the students that I felt compelled to write you. My list, with corrections, is as follows: —front row, left to right: James Edwin Green, Russell Haynes, William “Buddy” Tapp, Dale Gough, Sonny Williams, Bobby Corder (hiding behind Sonny), and Donald Settle. —second row, left to right: Earl Nicholson, Ashby Green, Virgil “Mutt” Corbin, Richard Settle, Tommy Woodward, Sherlean Dodson, and Sandra Rowzie. —third row, left to right: Willie Walter, Peggy Priest. Shirley Poe, Jane Riley, Catherine Carter, Audrey Gough, Elizabeth “Lizzie" Haynes, Patricia Weaver and Janice Weaver. Names in bold are those on whom mistakes were made in identification plus one definite misspelling. Of course, since there are some of us still around or not too far away. I realize you may receive other letters of “correction.” However, I’m sure all of us who saw the pictured enjoyed seeing ourselves “published”. I still have my copy of it. I don’t know if that school house was ever red or not but the connotation of a small school (two classrooms) is clear and true and I am thankful to have completed all my elementary schooling there. Miss Garland Riley and Mrs. Annie Cooke were our teachers. MRS. SANDRA ROWZIE WILLIS Honesty Appreciated lo the editor: Two weeks ago, I lost my wallet in Warrenton. I laid it on top of my ear and then promptly forgot it was there. I was half-way home before I realized that I didn’t have it. I turned around and went back to the Kayo Station to search for the wallet but I couldn't find it. In the meantime, however. a gentleman named Mr. Dorn had found my wallet and gotten in touch with my mother. When I arrived home, she called with his message that I could pick up the wallet at his office in Keith Fletcher Rentals in Warrenton. That company should be very happy to have someone like Mr. Dorn employed. I m so pleased to see that there are such honest people around. If there were more people like Mr. Dorn, the world would be a better place to live. God bless and be with you and your family, Mr. Dorn. MARY W. BAILEY Washington Rhinoceritis Is Catching To the editor: Your review of the recent excellent production of Ionesco’s “Rhinoceros” at the Gay Street Theater fails to maximize on the real purpose of the play. Theater goers might have been interested to know that the preimere of “Rhinoceros” took place in Duesseldorf, Germany, in 1959. It was felt by the audience to depicit the transformation of human beings into Nazis. Ionesco’s friends in his native Rumania were all joining the Facist Iron Guards, leaving the ranks of the thin-skinned humans to join the thick-skinned pachyderms. When Berenger is left the lone survivor of genus Homo Sapiens, he is fighting not only for his own personal and singular identity, in individualism, but against the wave of aggression which is rampant throughout the world. Ionesco never claimed “Rhinoceros” to be an ideological play. “An ideological play," he says, “can be no more than the vulgarization of an ideology.” He believes that what separates us all from one another is simply society itself or, if you like, “politics.” The true society, the authentic human community, is extra social—a wider, deeper society, that which is revealed by our common anxieties, our desires, our secret nostalgias. No society has been able to abolish human sadness, no political system can deliver us from the pain of living, from the fear of death, our thirst for the absolute. Berenger’s survival is our survival. Is there a message for in “Rhinoceros” for Rappahannock County? The mechanization of society is destroying any real individuality and community. This county exports more labor to the denizens of technology in the cities than any other county in the state of Virginia. The disappearance of the small farm and the breaking up of large ones into 25 acre lots is rapidly stampeding the county out of its agricultural heritage. Recent trials have shown the thickening of our skins. Rhinoceritis is catching. Don’t let it get you! BERNARD E. NUNEZ Castleton From Both Barrels Could A Woman Beat Warner? By GEORGE BOWLES A still small but perhaps growing number of Democratic strategists are coming around to the view that 1984 might be a good year for a woman to run for the U.S. Senate in Virginia. Next year’s balloting is less than 18 months away. No candidate of either gender has stepped forward to seek the Democratic nomination to oppose incumbent Republican Sen. John Warner who will be up for reelection. Since the Democratic sweep of statewide offices in 1981, a number of names have been mentioned as possible candidates, but not much has happened beyond the mentioning. There is universl agreement that the Democrat with the best chance of unhorsing Warner would be Gov. Chuck Robb, but Robb firmly asserts that he likes his present job and has no plans to attempt a change. Alexandria attorney William Thomas, a close Robb confidant, was making candidate-like noises a year ago, but has been notably silent on the subject in recent months. His interest is believed to be waning. Newly elected r ourth District Congressman Norman Sisisky allowed a trial balloon to be floated aloft in his behalf shortly after his win over incumbent Rep. Robert Daniel last November, but after having some fun with the notion, Sisisky discounted the idea. In the southwest, some of freshman Ninth District Congressman Kick Boucher’s friends suggest he would make a formidable opponent for Warner. The most promising Democrat now believed to be actively testing the waters is State Sen. James Jones of Abingdon. Jones says his immediate concern is winning re-election this fall, but he admits he is being urged by supporters to consider a Warner challenge next year. He is apparently considering it. And then a fortnight ago former Del. Edythe Harrison of Norfolk let it be known that she is seriously interested in seeking the nomination. This intelligence has opened an entire new and interesting avenue of speculation. Harrison, a moderate liberal, served in the House from 1980 until last year, when she became, in effect, a victim of redistricting. Although she is not widely known outside the Tidewater area, she is regarded as an aggressive and tireless campaigner. While most Democratic tacticians—at this point, at least—pooh-pooh the idea of Harrison having any reasonable chance in the Senate race, others see a certain logic in fielding a woman candidate against Warner. “It is possible,” a Democratic official said last week, “that the only conceivable type of opponent the Warner people haven’t ‘game planned’ to run against is a woman, and a woman candidate could give Warner I fits. Ihere is a perception, he continued, “that Warner owes his personal and political success to his two ex-wives; that Cathy Mellon made him a millionaire and Liz Taylor made him a senator. A woman opponent would be able to underscore that perception and be a constant reminder of it. ” While these Democrats see a tactical advantage in having a woman candidate, they do not necessarily agree that Harrison would be the strongest nominee. Some believe that Del. Mary Sue Terry of Patrick, for example, as a more impressive track record, better name recognition and a more conservative philosophy which would be more compatible with the Virginia electorate. Terry, however, has sent no signals th„‘ she is actively interested in the Senate race. According to the conventional wisdom, she is eyeing a possible bid for the Democratic nomination for attorney general in 1985. For the Democrats concerned about 1984, however, time is getting short. By whatever strokes of fortune Warner got where he is, he is there and he has proved to be a generally popular senator. While his critics insist that he has not been effective, there has certainly been no stampede of Democrats who believe they could persuade the voters they could do a better job. As of this spring, the idea of a woman candidate is about the only novel thought for an attack on the Warner seat we have seen. While this may be a constructive start, far more will be needed. The view from this corner is that if the Democrats hope to win next year, their planners had better continue to labor at the drawing boards, and labor with a considerable sense of urgency, at that.

Sperry ville: Panthers Place At State Five of Rappahannock County High School's top athletes placed in the state’s “A” track and field finals held last Saturday at Spotswood High School in Penn Laird. The boys’ squad finished with 14 points, 13th out of 40 some schools and ahead of Bull Run District rivals Page, Stonewall Jackson, Strasburg, Brentsville and Clarke. It was a dismal day to be outdoors with a steady downpour hampering contestants for most of the afternoon. But 11 state records fell along with the rain. Leading the way for the Panthers was Eugene Grigsby. The senior speedster ran first in both the 100 and 200 meter trials and then took third in both finals. His time .for the 100 was 11.2 seconds, equal to the runner-up’s mark but well behind the record breaking 10.X turned in by Clarence Lewis of Fluvanna. In the finals of the 200, Grigsby again was clocked even with the runner-up at 23.4 seconds and behind Lewis’ winning 22.4 time. "The high jumpers were jumping on a very wet mat and no one got as high as usual.” coach Ann Speiker reported. Doyle Dunn, who has cleared 6’3” repeatedly this season, got over 5T0" and went out at O’ for sixth place.

Teresa Taylor of Wise won the discus with a new meet record of 120T". Team scores for the girls put .New Kent first with 57, Lurav second with 45 and Stonewall Jackson third with .'57. Porter, Aylor All-District On the heels of their most successful baseball season in years, the Rappahannock Panthers have placed two players on first team, all-district, with a third awarded honorable mention. Jeff Porter, 'Rappahannock's sophomore sensation, made first team as an outfielder while senior Pops Aylor was named to the Bull Run District allstars on the basis of his performance as a designated hitter. Senior Mike . Leake, an all-district basketball center, won honorable mention as an outfielder. “I expect Jeff to be the best baseball player ever to come out of Rappahannock County by the time he's a senior," said coach Don Dawson. “He’s definitely a pro-prospect. He has all the tools to play big time college ball. Jeffs fast, he has a great arm and he hits the ball well." Coach Dawson also handed out praise to his two departing all-district seniors. “I wish they were coming back. They were the best hitters on the team. And they displayed leadership that helped the younger players. If things were going bad in a game. I always knew they could make something good out of it." Dawson said. Aylor’s statistics on the year are impressive. He connected with the ball 20 times in 47 trips to the plate fora .42") average, 14 RBIs, three homers, six doubles and three triples. The ’Panther third baseman also stole 15 bases. Reportedly, he was the unanimous pick of the coaches as best hitter in the district. Aylor plans to continue playing baseball, either during a career in the armed services or in a small college. To gain honorable mention on Bull Run District's baseball all-stars, Leake batted .:>4<s. getting lb hits in 4<> times at bat with two homers and 15 RBIs. Great Expectations “I'm expecting Jeff Porter to take over where Pops and Mike left off.” coach Dawson said. The sophomore outfielder and pitcher batted .400. converting on 20 of 50 times at the plate. Porter was credited with seven RBIs, two homers, one triple and and six doubles. He led the team in stolen bases with l(i. On the mound, he won three, lost three and saved two. Porter pitched in 12 of 17 games in the 1983 season, hurling in a total of 52 innings. He struck out 02 batters and walked 31. Porter's biggest victories came against Stonewall Jackson when he pitched a one-hitter, striking out 12 and walking six. and against George Mason when he struck out ten and walked one.

I have, for instance, no one to help bail me out if something goes wrong." For Spelman, presenting a solo performance on tour is the outgrowth of 15 years experience in the professional theatre as actor, director. and writer. His work has been seen in New York. Chicago, Washington, Baltimore, and Atlanta, and 400 other locations throughout the eastern United States. For five years, Spelman toured with the Asolo State Theater, a regional theatre similar to Washington’s Arena Stage; and. for seven years, he was artistic director of Florida Studio Theatre, a professional theatre which toured to such "non-theatrical” locations as schools, prisons, senior cen• ters, and community centers. Vaneev Register and his TALKIN’ TALES came out of that experience. A compact, easv-to-tour show, which can meet an audience at any place and any time. TALKIN’ TALES has traveled over 7000 miles, and has been "glorious fun" for Spelman, a homespun treat to his audiences, and “hilariously funny” to critics, who have seen in it “an honesty and integrity not often found in regional material.” Audiences in Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, I).C. have been delighted by the times they've spent with •Jon Spelman and Yancey Register.

Life Wasn’t Easy In The Blue Ridge Editor's Sate: Manif at the Rappaliannock people irlio used to lire hi the purl; ire re iiiterrieired hi the late I Hill's as part of a park liistort/ project. With permission of park authorities. the Rappahannock Sen's read thronf/li some of the inteirieics anil put toi/ctlicr the fotloicinfi picture of irhat life teas like in the mountains he lore the park morcd the people out. Mrs. Sally Atkins and Mrs. Lela Dodson, two sisters and their cousin. Mrs. Beulah Atkins, were interviewed together about their life in a two-room house, made of logs and “dobbed” with mud. They lived in the park, “a little down below the turn bridge" and were interviewed in 11*79. There were seven in this extended family. The children worked in the corn fields, milked cows and fed the hoys and chickens. In the typical family farm cycle that started with corn, the family fed corn to the cows, chickens and hoys, milked the cow and fed the extra milk also to the hoys, made cheese and butter, raised a la rye garden and sold extra dairy products for cash. Cash needs were few in this self-sufficient operation: coffee was ten cents a pound. Families also needed to pay cash for sugar, salt and goods for clothes. For cottage cheese: "put some clabber milk in a bag and hang it up and let it drip until it gets dry. Then you take it out and put you some cream and salt in it." Potatoes, turnips and cabbage would last through the winter in trenches covered with dirt. Bread was from eornmeal - mountain families didn't raise wheat for the most part. In exchange for grinding, the miller would take his toll - a part of the meal to sell. There was meat for the table, not only chickens and hogs but squirrels, rabbits, coons, groundhogs, oppossums. In summer, life was easy and food plentiful. In winter, mountain families had to figure out a way to get shoes. Sally. Lela and Buelah never had to worry too much - grandfather C'hellie w as a cobbler and he made shoes for the whole family. If shoe's still fit after a season's wear, children left them off all summer to make them last. Mother needed to purchase j>oo(ls to make the children's clothes. For this they gathered walnuts and cracked them for 25 cents a pound. They could also peel chestnut bark and take it to the tannery in Sperryville by horse and wagon. _ In winter also came sickness. Sarsaparilla tea helped to thin the blood and hoarhound tea was the remedy for colds. If these remedies failed. Dr. Smith would come to the house, making the long climb on horseback. Christmas broke up the long winter, although there were no toys - just “some little something." But the family celebrated. Daddy would shoot off his gain and the whole family took the day off to visit. Children each got a piece of stick candy with rings on it. Mountain families dreaded the cold weather. "When it snowed the wind blew the snow in the cracks. The snow would blow in our faces. " In the morning, before the fires were started, the beds were swept off so that the snow wouldn’t melt and soak the bedding. Homer And Virgie Homer and Virgie Frazier were interviewed in October. 1977. They had lived up the mountain past Sperrvville when they were growing up. When they married, they set up housekeeping at an old school house in the hollow. Before they married, they barely knew each other. “He didn’t come around much," Virgie said. How did she know he was courting her? “Morris Groves said it. Morris said that he went with his wife three years and went to see her three times.” Mountain life didn’t seem difficult to the Fraziers. It was all they knew. Virgie: "We had plenty of room. There were three girls slept in a bed. And the two boys slept in the other bed. ” ■The Fraziers had chickens, hogs, milk cows and a chestnut orchard. They ate vegetables - potatoes, apple butter. canned berries, dried raspberries, apples, corn and beans. “Us kids picked chestnuts and sold them,” Virgie remembered. “We bought goods for our clothes. Mama made the clothes you know.” Homer: “We had honey bees pretty near all of the time. Grandma used to make, and Granddaddv used to make molasses. We’d watch them cook it. They made something, they called it cane. Planted some kind of seed. Got up right tall, cut the stalks down, pull the leaves off, and we’d make molasses out of the stalk. We made it in some kind of machine. They’d put horses to it to pull it and grind it.” Virgie: “Grandma would take it - both of them used stoves and would pour it. We'd skim the foam off it and when we got down to the bottom it would be molasses." Virgie recommends catnip tea for colic. “When we lived on the mountain we never got sick hardly.” Virgie’s grandmother was a “granny lady” - a midwife. Homer worked for a family called Groves. He kept the land clean for them. He drove cattle from the barn and came out at Sperryville, then drove his cattle five miles past Flint Hill and put them on 3 pasture there - a rented pasture. Gardens flourished on the mountain. “There were no garden pests, no bugs bothered your cabbages or beans," Virgie recalled. For fun, there were picnics, and tournaments on horseback. “All of us played the fiddle or banjo,” Homer said. Mountain People, The Park, and Resettlement HLtfe On Piney Run Before The Park ('arson Johnson’s family lived on Pinev Run, above Old Hollow, before his heavily-populated area was claimed for park land. Piney Run was not so isolated as many of the higher hollows and people there had a sense of community, Johnson remembers. Although his parents moved from Piney Run when he was a small child, Johnson lived at the edge of the park where his father ran a store in Old Hollow. He returned often to visit his grandfather, Captain Henry Johnson, who made harness, cabinets and coffins for the area, until he had to leave at the age of 85. “They were well-satisfied up on Piney Run,” Johnson said. “They had plenty to do, plenty to eat. It was a l eal neighborhood.” Most folks on Piney Run owned their land, and raised apples, large gardens, cattle and sheep. The youngsters went to Hull School until third or fourth grade, then walked out to Sperryville for the upper grades. School was a daily event for most Piney Run children. Many of the men worked at the sawmills in addition to farming. Or they worked in the orchards of the larger landowners. For supplies, they traveled across the mountain to Browntown or Kimbal. “There wasn’t the feuding and clannishness in Piney Run that there was back in the Hazel,” Johnson said. “There weren’t as many stills, and the folks got to town more, were less suspicious of strangers.” “Captain Henry didn't want to leave,” said Johnson. “It had been his home since he was a young man. At 85, he built a new home farther down. With him, he moved his coffin, made by himself twenty years before. I guess he wanted to be prepared.” Other old-timers were not so flexible as Captain Henry. “I know they just grieved themselves to death. I know they did," Johnson said. The hollow people were confused by re-settlement, Johnson remembers. "These were people - their word was their bond,” he said. “All these papers meant nothing to them. There was (Continued on Page 7) A mountain woman does her wash in an open kettle (above). At left. Panorama as it appeared shortly after construction Photos courtesy Shendandoah National Park and Mrs. Frank Brown. “They Worked Hard—I Mean They Had to Grub Out” Dorothy Housh, the wife of Chester Housh, became familiar with the resettlement effort by accompanying her husband on visits to homes of the resettled people. Mr. Housh was in charge of solving some of the problems of people who had lost their mountain homes. She paints a picture of what life was like for the newlyresettled mountain families. “They worked hard. I mean they had to grub out. It had been difficult to get them out of their houses. If they didn't tear them (the homes) down, the people came right back. Or some of the others would tear them down and take the things away.” By the time the Houshes started visiting the resettlement neighborhoods, the people had been there for several years. Mr. Housh would hold community meetings where problems were discussed. “They missed the mountains,” Mrs. Housh said. “But they liked their children getting an education.” One of the problems Mr. Housh had was the continuation of feuds that had started in the mountains and were carried with the people to their new neighborhoods. “People who were feuding would poison wells, or hogs, or burn houses.” Mrs. Housh recalled a murder case in Flint Hill, the result of an old feud. Double Doors “Many of the homes in the mountains had two doors in the front. They liked having two doors,” Mrs. Housh remembered. Often there would be a larger house with a big ger family that was responsible for some of the community business. "But it was hard for them to get used to—some of them kept coal in the bathtub," she said. Mrs. Housh remembered a social crusader, a Mrs. Hughes from Washington, who learned about the plight of the mountain people and visited them. Finally, she moved into Flint Hill, into a resettlement home. She put in bunk beds—she was trying to live in a primitive way. “She was shocked at the eating habits of the mountain people,” said Mrs. Housh. “She went to visit a family and they served mashed potatoes. Over the potatoes, they poured grease from fried salt pork. Often, that was the meat of the day.” Of course Mrs. Housh knew that many country people - rich and poor - ate this way. But that meal convinced Mrs. Hughes that the resettled people needed some training in nutrition. She brought out a prominent food writer from Washington to teach them. One thing the resettled people continued to do when they had transportation was to hunt for ginseng in the park, until the park authorities stopped them. But many of the people continued to think of the mountains as their home, years after the government had burned their houses. Living in town caused anxiety in many families whose children were made fun of by classmates at school. “They moved them closer to towns and it didn’t take them long to learn the ways of the town people. And the chil(t’ontinued on Page 7) A Letter From Beahm In August of 1929, a resident of the Thornton Hollow area, H.M. Cliser, wrote to the Secretary of the Interimprotesting the proposed condemnation Act. "Will the U.S. Government Accept Resident Property from the State of Virginia for the Proposed Shenandoah National Park under Condemnation proceedings under the Condemnation Act I don’t feel that I will any thing like recieve for my Humble Home what it is worth to me. I will greatly appreciate your reply. Reply H.M. Cliser Beahm, Va." Mr. Cliser was one of many people who protested the loss of his home to no avail. But he had a plan to help some of the poor mountain people to join together in hiring a group lawyer to represent them. In a letter to the Page News and Courier, Mr. Cliser said. "The fundamental principles of our government are to protect those who can't protect themselves and to restrain the rich and strong from oppressing the poor and weak. . .” Mr. Cliser’s public campaign did not work and he ended up losing his land on the edge of the park. “J don't feel that I will any thing like recieve for my Humble home what it is worth to me. ” Fiddlin’ in the Mountains Tommy Cornell made fiddles, in fact made a real nice fiddle for Sam Dwyer, Carson Johnson remembers. He made his fiddles out of spruce and white pine. “He had a workshop with an old pot-bellied stove," Johnson said. "In the attic, it was like a kiln, in summer from the sun. in winter. from the stove. There he'd lay his strips of spruce and white pine wood to season. Then he’d use his patterns to cut out a real nice fiddle. "For strings, he’d buy metal ones or use catgut. People also make ukuleles and used rawhide strings." Notes On Mountain Roads In the 1920’s, three major roads crossed the Blue Ridge in the park area: what are now U.S. Routes 211 and and the Gordonsville Pike at Fishers Gap. How did people travel? Mainly by foot. A small portion of mountain people owned horses; very few owned cars or trucks. It was common for Rappahannock families to walk to Lurav and return the same day carrying heavy loads of suplilies. Men who worked as seasonal farm-hands might walk eight miles to reach their job. A lot of folks who worked at Skyland lived five or more miles away, and walked to work each da On Mountain Farming Most of the mountain people were subsistence farmers, with less than five acres. In addition to corn, their staple, some families grew oats, buckwheat or rve. They harvested these crops by hand, using scythes or cradles.’ hauled the stalks to the barn and threshed them with a pole. Clearing the land was a formidable task: new ground had to be broken when the old land wore out. The farmer had to chop the trees down, or kill them slowly by breaking the bark, cutting them for firewood later. Rocks had to be hauled away and undergrowth chopped. Then came plowing. Sometimes there was a horse, but if not, one man guided the plow while two men pulled it. Clods were broken up by cross-plowing. Then furrows were made with a shovel plow, the corn was planted, the dirt hoed over the seed. Usually, farmers plowed twice between the rows during the season. Women and children cultivated between the plants with hoes. During the second hoeing, the farmer usually thinned the rows, allowing the strongest plants to remain. Pigs ran wild in the woods, foraging until butchering time. Women and children raised the garden: potatoes, cabbage, corn and beans. Root crops were stored in trenches others were dried, canned or pickled. On Moonshining Whiskey and brandy were made mainly for the family's use, with sales being greater in some of the well-known moonshine hollows. Some whiskey was sold at Skyland and during prohibition there was more of a demand. Distillation of corn was essential where bad roads made it impossible to transport the fresh product - in its concentrated form, corn took up little space. On The Chestnut People gathered chestnuts by the bushel to sell or use for barter. Chestnut bark contained tannin, in demand for curing leather. In early spring, mountain people would chop down a tree, split the bark and peel it off. Chestnut logs were in demand for telephone poles or for railroad ties. They were almost free of knots. Chestnut blight reaches the Blue Ridge in the 192()’s. Within a few years it wiped out the American chestnut.

Park Sa ves Mountain Beauty For All “To Grow And Be Natural” Is Credo For Shenandoah Park Ranger Chuck Anibel of Shenandoah National Park described the mountain culture that once existed in the Blue Ridge as “rich and unique.. . You can’t make generalizations about the people. They were individuals,” At the time the Park was created in 1926, 450 families lived in the hollows and on the hillsides. According to Anibel, 130 of those families were resettled; the rest moved on their own. “Those who were resettled were those who didn’t make their own arrangements.” At the turn of the century, the land that is now the Park was home to twice as many people. They left, the ranger said, because the mountains’ ability to support their lives had ebbed. Immigrants to the mountains came initially from the rich Shenandoah Valley. “They were tenth sons of the tenth son. They didn’t have their own land in the valley. That’s the reason why they moved to the mountains.” But the mountain farms on the thin soils of the slopes couldn’t support the farming practices brought from the deep, rich soils of the valley, he added. “Their life style changed from that of their ancestors in the valley due to the environment here, the harshness of it. They became subsistence farmers trying to scratch a living from a very resistant land. “They were able to hunt until the wildlife was gone. They farmed until the land ran out. They cut timber until the trees ran out and they sold chestnut bark to the tanneries until the chestnuts all died.” According to Anibel, most of the mountain people owned the land they farmed. Some had jobs in local industries—cattle ranching in Big Meadows, saw mills, the tanneries, a copper mine. But the local border industries at the base of the mountains failed when the railroads stopped, he added. “Also technology made many of their jobs obsolete...The mountain economy, if you want to call it an economy, was mainly a subsistence economy.” It was copper mining interests that brought George Pollock, recognized as the father of Shenandoah National Park, to the area, according to Anibel. “He was just 16 years old when he showed up in the 1880s, investigating copper mining opportunities for his father. He decided he wanted to create a resort instead and so he built Skyland.” The U.S. Congress authorized establishment of a park in the Blue Ridge in 1926 but with the condition that no federal funds would go to the project. Efforts to secure contributions slowed, however, with the arrival of the depression. “People weren’t out to give money or land so the State of Virginia stepped in,” Anibel said, The Commonwealth mass condemnation law cleared the way for the dream of ShenanI ' 1 1,1 '■ ' 111 ' I GEORGE POLLOCK stayed at the Cabin Inn in Sperryville in his travels to and from the Park. Charles Estes remembers that Pollock used to order two or three fried chickens for dinner and that he always brought along his little dog and his horn. He would go out to the dam on the duck pond at the Cab Inn “and he’d blow his horn, he’d blow his little horn.” doah to become a reality. On July 3, 1936, the Park was dedicated and opened. Anibel noted that Skyline Drive was begun before that date but added that the concept of the Park preceeded the building of the Drive. lhe Drive is credited primarily to President Herbert Hoover who had a cabin in the area at Camp Rapidan, now Camp Hoover. Interested in the mountain people and their lives, he built a school for local children, the ranger recalled. Then during a year when water was scarce, the president conceived the idea of using drought relief funds to pay laborers to construct a scenic drive. “The Drive was actually a relief measure to give people living here assistance. . . The Drive wasn’t going to give them water but the Drive would give them cash money,” Anibel said. He emphasized that private contracts—not the Civilian Conservation Corps— worked on the Drive, at a cost of $47,000 per mile for its 96 mile expanse. “When the Drive opened, it became a tourist attraction used and known before the Park opened. The Drive eclipsed the Park,” the ranger said. Later, workers at the CCC camps in the Park built fire roads, planted trees, added soil erosion controls on the bare slopes, put in telephone and water systems, camps, picnic areas and restrooms, built the overlooks and the rock walls along the Drive. A few of the Park’s features have changed over the years. There’s no documented evidence of mountain lions within its boundaries since the last verified killing of one in 1896. “But we sure have had a lot of undocumented reports,” Anibel noted. The deer that had disappeared were in re-introduced by the Park Service. The beer that disappeared returned on their own. Beavers were introduced, again by the Park Service, but they never took inside the Park, according to the ranger. The woods bison, the wolves and the elk disappeared centuries ago. The foxes never left and otters are still around as well, although not in great numbers and only near the Park’s borders. For the most part, the forests cut by mountain lumberers have reclaimed the land on their own. Trees are primarily hickory and oak. “Five percent of the Park is still virgin forest. It’s in the mre inaccessible Limber Lost area,” Anibel reported. The gradure of the open sweep at Big Meadows, the tumbling cascades of White Oak Canyon, the wildlife. Old Rag Mountain with its pre-cambrian granite the oldest exposed rock formation in the United States—all this and more the Park is pledged to preserve. “The general thrust of the Park is as a natural area, to grow and be natural,” the ranger concluded. I Mean They Had to Gmb Out (Continued from Page 6) dren went to school regularly which makes a difference— and the children teach the parents what they learn.” Sometimes the resettled families competed with each other in home furnishings: “They had linoleum on the floors, no one had rugs. They were called linoleum rugs. Sometimes they would call it a drug—it.” Sometimes one family got two drug—its, and then that would cause problems. “Most of them had to use all the rooms for bedrooms, except the kitchen,” Mrs. Housh said. “Some people expected the mountain people to be dirty, but the homes I visited were always neat, and the people were always kind and offered me apples and butter.” “Some of them would sweep yards—that’s an old custom—to have a dirt yard, but sweep it.” ‘The people had been so poor, and their furniture in the mountains was built-in, or there wasn’t any. So the government furnished the homes—not with much, just beds, dressers, a table and chairs. And I learned something. They had had a different life, but it was just an accident of their birth. They were smart, hard-working, some good and some bad, just like townspeople. Some looked down on them, but I saw them a lot and knew better. People are people.” “They missed their homes, but they were glad for their children to go to school. ” Homes in the mountains ranged from large to tiny. Mrs. Chester Housh recalled that many had two front doors. Prosperous landowners had many fireplaces, poorer families had the bare minimum in shelter. All were destroyed when the families left. Elmer Atkins Is Proud Of Leaving The Mountains When the state of Virginia moved the mountain people from their homes to clear the way for Shenandoah National Park, “it hurt some of them pretty bad... It hurt their souls, their heart,” Elmer Atkins believes. “But I'm not sorry. I mean that. I came out here. I don’t regret it. I had a choice not to come. I didn’t have to come. I had a choice I could have made about it, but now I’m proud I came. Yea. I’m proud.” Atkins, who now numbers a gas station, an antique shop and cider pressing mill among his business interests in Sperryville, grew up in Beach Spring Hollow, one of a dozen children in a log bodies house with five fireplaces. He remembers playing marbles and tag, pitching horseshoes and swinging on grape vines in the clearings and hollows of the mountains. He played checkers in the evenings and had the daytime job of getting in the wood. “Daddy would cut it up and leave it on a wood pile and he’d tell you, ‘Now, I want that box full of wood when I come back home.’” His mother made butter and cheese that was kept in the spring house. “You’d go out there on the hottest kind of day...and let the spring run over your milk box a little bit to cool it.” Elmer helped with the gardening as well as the wood. “One of the worst jobs I had was keeping the bugs off the potatoes. I’d take an old pan, something like an old wash pan, a big round tub and I’d take a little brush and knock the bugs in.” For winter, beans were threaded on cotton, "strings of them that would go clear across this room.” Turnips, potatoes and cabbage were buried with a little bit of grass on top to keep the dirt from running down. Money from chickens and eggs and chestnuts was used by the Atkins family to buy kerosene, sugar, salt, coffee, clothes and shoes—things they couldn’t make or grow on their mountain farm. “One pair of shoes a year is all we had. We got them in the fall of the year and we were told. ‘Now you can kick them out as quick as you want but you’re going to kick with your toes from then on out.’ ’’ Elmer’s father hired out by the year; others worked by the day. “A man got 50 cents for a day’s work and a bushel of com cost 50 cents. The old men would say as long as they’d get a bushel of com for their day’s work, they didn’t worry. They could raise their family.” Community get-togethers in the mountain had community traditions. During apple butter stirring, if the paddle hit the side of the kettle, “you were supposed to get a big kiss from your friend you were stirring with," Elmer reAnd during com shucking, “if you ran up on a red ear, you’d reach back and get you a drink of the jug you had sitting there." The jug was filled with mountain moonshine. “Most families had a still of their own. In some hollows, they borrowed a still back and forth." Elmer said. Of the moonshine itself, “you sold some of it and you drank some of it.” There was no special recipe. “I have made it out of apples and 1 have made it out of cherries and I have made it out of grapes and I have made it out of corn meal and sugar It was good stuff and it was always pure." In addition to homemade liquir, the mountain people had homemade medicine. Elmer remembers his mother brewing catnip tea for the baby's sick stomach, using sassafrass root to thin the blood in the spring and mixing a little kerosene with a little sugar and turpentine for colds. Life in what is now the Park was isolated from many of the modem intrusions. Elmer remembers the first time he saw a car. “My first reaction was to get over the fence and run like thunder...The same way with mv first airplane. I ran under a big tree to get away from it." Strangers were few, mostly peddlers carrying a stick over their shoulder. “They’d ask to stay the night. You couldn't tell people you couldn't put them up. Couldn’t nobody do that.” called. j " «-««u up mere in tno skv, v It looked sometimes like it would fall right dow the horses. n among “They Lived Good” Charles Estes’ father operated a store in Sperryville where the folks coming down from the mountain brought their business. “They lived good,” he said of the families he often visited. He remembers the mountain farmers as being wonderful gardeners. They picked up the stones from their hillsides plots and build rock walls. Then with mulch and sometimes a little dirt they’d have to carry in, they’d grow “corn eai-s as long as your arm.” That com frequently found its way into a moonshine still. The best came from Hazel and Nicholson Hollows, he recalled. “They all made it, all those mountain people made whiskey. They used it for medicinal or for their own pleasure. Some sold it. But they didn’t all sell it. “They did not sell it to the people going to church up there on Sunday! ” his wife Dot added. She, too, often rode up into the mountains, never with a worry as to her safety. “They were strong on honor, personal honor and dignity. You never felt that vou were going to be insulted.” Dot Estes is an encyclopedia on the home remedies used by mountain families. Wild Cherry bark was a cough medicine. Catnip was taken for the stomach. "You made a poultice of it and put it on your stomach.” Calamus was also good for the stomach and for the liver. Spicewood was taken with the measles. “It breaks the fever.” Oldtimers talked of the wonders of “bamby gillen,” Mrs. Estes recalled. It was put in water boiled and then applied to sores as a sure cure. Most herb users know the miracle plant as Balm of Gilead, she noted. Yarrow' relieved hemorrhoids and flax seed removed foreign matter from the eye. A mixture of kerosene, sugar and a drop of turpentine was a popular remedy for pneumonia and chest colds. Asafetida kept the fleas away. A particular unsavory cure for the common cold called for onions, corn meal and sugar, cooked until it was a “gooey, nasty looking mess” and then drunk. “It would upset your stomach but it would certainly cure your cold,” Mrs. Estes noted. Edgar Lee Frazier of Thornton Gap "They were strong on honor, personal honor and dignity." Another unusual remedy involved a chicken. For snake bit, “you split open a chicken and put it over the bite. It would draw the poison out. But you tear it open. You tear it °l>en with your hands and while the chicken is still alive, and then put it on the snake bite. The carcass would turn greenlike.” In addition to the humor of old timey folk medicine. Mrs. Estes remembers the sorrows of watching the mountain families leave what became Shenandoah National park. “Some sort of fell to pieces. They couldn't manage out here like that. But then the next generation did." That first generation of mountain people. “I think they felt naked, she continued. “There were no trees around and everything was all out and just too wide open. They just didn’t like that. They missed the mountains. 1 think they missed them terribly.” “It tore their hearts _i 99 (Continued from PageG) no negotiation, no give and take on land prices. They had to accept what was offered and that was that. From the time they first knew about it. from rumors and then from government officials, it tore their hearts out." Johnson was well-acquainted with the mountain people, relatives and friends, and folks that visited his father’s store. “On Saturday night they’d pitch horseshoes there. There might break out a fist fight or a free-for-all. It was all part of Saturday night." Most people, mountain and small piedmont farmers alike, were self-sufficient. “They had commeal for hoe cakes and combread, and they had biscuits," Johnson said. “They had pork for most every meal - breakfast, lunch and dinner. They dried a lot of foods back then. In the fall, everything that didn’t move was covered with apples, drying.” Cash was needed for three things - for shoes, for taxes and for coal oil. “What they needed cash for, they could trade for too,” Johnson said. “There’d be folks coming into the stores and they’d know just about what they needed and they’d bring a basket of chickens and a basket of eggs and it might work out within a few cents of what they bought.” Besides the pork, eggs, chickens, fruit and vegetables, the folks on Piney Run had plentiful squirrels, rabbits and turkeys, chestnuts and black walnuts. Men in Piney Run always wore suits when they went out of the hollow. “Black suits, with little black ties,” Johnson said. “Otherwise, they were in overalls.” Women wore (Minuets, long dresses with "lots of petticoats” and always aprons. Many of the mountain young people ran off to get married - to Maryland. “There was a time in the twenties when folks liked to get married in the l.uray Caverns." Johnson said “That's what mv |>arents did." Funerals were not complete without a coffin made by Captain Henry and a wake in the home of the deceased. “We'd stay up for three nights—the body was never left alone.” said Johnson. "People stayed there so that the family could rest, if they would.” Besides missing their homes, mountain |**ople who resettled had another sorrow to bear. Often their children were made fun of for being “country” when they started school in the towns. “It took some children years to get over that humiliation,” Johnson said. He recalls that when he started school in Sperryville in 19dH, his home was more modem than 90 percent of his schoolmates but the “country” label was used anyway. But Johnson does believe that, for many of the young people, re settlement ended up being beneficial. Some got good jobs, got more schooling, were better prepared for the changes in the world than if they had stayed in the hollow. Still, he remembers nights in Piney Run with Captain Henry and some good homemade music under the mountain stars and the older folks who “grieved themselves to death.”

Rappahannock County School News —Ruppuhuniusck News Photo RoKTTavne ONE HUNDRED PERCENT CHANCE OF RAIN, a musical program, was presented by Wakefield first and second graders last Friday. The children’s performance was part of the spring art show and concert. School Budget Cuts (Continued from Page 1) $20,000 will have to be taken from county surplus or cut else where from the budget to make up the difference. After hearing a report and recommendations from insurance consultant Samuel L. Rosenthal of the Industrial Insurance Management Corporation in Richmond, the board agreed to widen county coverage. Added were policies for "umbrella” coverage which provides an additional $1 million worth of liability and workers’ compensation. Currently, Rappahannock is self-insured for workers’ compensation which means that the county reimburses the state penny for penny for all approved claims. The supervisors rejected two other optional policies: an “honesty” bond on county employees and “extra expense” coverage that would provide up to $10,000 to pay for temporary trailers in the event county office buildings are damaged for instance by fire. “The county will find a way to continue carrying on its business,” Rosenthal acknowledged, giving “extra expenses” coverage low priority. “I don’t think we need the dishonesty bond. I wouldn’t question any of our \r~~~ ^ employees in handling money," said Supervisor Estes. “I'm not worried about one of our employees stealing. It’s never happened yet in Rappahannock County.” “I agree with that but there are a whole lot of things happening in Rappahannock County now that I never thought I’d see!” Wood added. “Let’s call it a show of faith,” replied Estes, winning unanimous approval from his colleagues for dropping the two options rom the insurance package. Total premiums for the increased coverage recommended by Rosenthal amount to $11,151. The consultant also reported that coverage for the Library Board (including $95,000 on building and contents, $50,000 on books, $25,000 on “extra expenses" and $500,000 legal liability stemming from injury on the premises) can be added to the county’s package. If approved by the Library Board which will reimburse the supervisors for the premium, cost will be $454. In a second unanimous vote, the supervisors agreed to contract with Clement Insurance Company of Culpeper, one of two low bidders, for the county’s insurance coverage.

Rappakannock Journal ft. / •Farm •Business •Garden •Rural Life Piedmont Environmental Council Celebrates Its 10th By LOYAL McMILLIN Pouring rain Sunday afternoon turned the gardens at Oak Hill into a dripping rain forest, hut it in no uav hampered the celebration nor deterred the more than 500 people who came to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the founding of the Piedmont Environmental Council. Hosts Mr. and Mrs. .Joseph Prendergast opened the big house and events went along as smoothly inside as if they had been planned that wav. Members, guests, public officials and civic leaders came from all of the nine counties served by PEC to help in the celebration. The anniversary festivities featured folk music, well-laden tables and the famous Oak Hill Toddy, served in the historic rooms of the Loudoun estate built by James Monroe. In a brief ceremony. PEC founder and longtime chief executive officer B. Powell Harrison thanked those Piedmont residents who made PEC possible and supported its first 10 years. The organization's current leaders, chairman B. Lee Bird and president Robert T. Dennis, introduced the staff and announced a drive to increase PEC membership hv one-third over the course of the summer. Established to “preserve the traditional character and visual order of the countryside, towns and villages of the northern Piedmont region of Virginia," PEC’s early emphasis was on land use planning and town design. Its initial staff members were trained planners and landscape architects; it sponsored tours by county officials of carefully planned rural areas in England, and it drew the maps which helped PEC counties develop formal master plans. Today, there arc no planners on PEC's staff. "This reflects thoughtful evolution," Mr. Dennis explains. “My and large, our counties now possess excellent planning expertise. So our focus has turned to plan implementation and policy development. We still employ a landscape architect, and have added some new capabilities: two attorneys, an economist and an environmental policy specialist." Whatever its staff. PEC has been involved in scores of local and regional land use issues over the last 10 years. From Loudoun to Albemarle, it has sought to guide decisions about major shopping center and commercial development proposals, argued against inappropriate subdivision of rural areas, published books on town improvement and land ethics, advised on planning of highway corridors and held conferences for elected officials, school administrators and the general public. It has emerged as the statewide public interest leader on the issue of uranium mining in Virginia and works nationally on federal tax policy relating to oj>en space easements. The central theme of PEC’s first decade has been the preservation of farmland and forests in its ninecounty region. “I think the organization has an outstanding track record in this area alone,” says Mr. Dennis. “PEC helped to write Virginia’s agricultural and forestal district law, its important farmlands act and related state statutes. “But the best measure is that our nine counties lead the state in voluntary action to preserve the rural landscape. It is no accident that we have more than 275,000 acres under easement or in agricultural/forestal districts. That's an area bigger than Shenandoah National Park, and PEC deserves a fair share of the credit.” Two former presidents of PEC, (Jen. Frank Norris and Chaplin Barnes, were present and recognized for their major contributions to the growth and development of the program of PEC. Also present and recognized were three of the founding members of the organization: George Horkan, who has served as counsel for the Use Filter Strips To Protect Stream By LUE A. WALTERS Farmers should take advantage of the first financial incentive conservation program hv the State. The State of Virginia through the Governor’s office approved $500,000 to be paid out to farmers in the PIK or the set-aside program with ASCS. This incentive program is to encourage farmers to seed borders of the program’s acreage along streams. The seeding may be as narrow as 12 feet in places or as wide as you want, but the overall seeding must average 20 feet wide.

Seconding Mr. Dennis’ observations, Mr. Harrison added, “Our real goal has always been simply stated: to protect and enhance the visual delights of the Virginia Piedmont countryside.” needed is you must be a participant in one of the PIK or set-aside programs with ASCS; this must be adjacent to a free flowing stream; and the seeding must be on PIK or set-aside acreage.

Good Management Reduces Fescue Fungus By BIRGITT THORNHILL Extension Agent Fescue is extensively used for pasture and hay on beef cattle farms, provides a durable pasture stand for horses, and is used to some extent by sheep producers. Livestock problems related to fescue have been known for a long time. Some of these problems are: Fescue foot: “summer syndrome” in cattle in which animals do very poorly and are unable to tolerate high temperature: Foaling difficulties and a lack of milk for newborn foals; Lower lambing percentages. All of these conditions are cause for concern by producers, and their causes have been the object of much research over a number of years. Exact causes still are not completely know, but answers are being found. The discovery of the fescue fungus may be a breakthrough leading to solution of at least some of the problems of fescue. Producers should not panic on fescue fungus. The fungus has probably been with us a long time, and we are only now beginning to understand its implications. Not all fescue is affected by the fungus. It may be that low levels of fungus infection on certain farms do take a toll in reduced animal per Youth Jobs Available Fauquier Community Action will operate the Summer Youth Employment Program to serve youths in Orange, Madison, Culpeper, Fauquier and Rappahannock counties. The program is scheduled to operate from June 20 through August 19, 1983. Interested young people should contact their school guidance counselor, the local Virginia Employment Commission at 825-8117. formance. Fortunately, the fungus spreads slowly. It can be transmitted only by seed. Therefore, you can take steps to reduce accidental spread of fungus-infected fescue by not allowing it to seed in your fields. You can also purchase seed known to be fungus-free. Legumes in fescue pasture will generally eliminate all occurrences of symptoms in cattle. As little as 15-20tf clover appears to be effective in preventing fescue, foot. Good management, such as use of legumes, prevention of seed formation, feeding other feeds with fescue, removal of livestock from fescue when symptoms occur. use of fungus-free seed when reseeding, and avoidance of total dependence on fescue are strategies that can be used to minimize the effects of the fungus.
