PE Short Circuits Contempt Charges By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Lawyers for Potomac Edison say the company intends to maintain the 138 kilovolt transmission line across the Cameron property, one way or another. PotEd filed condemnation proceedings on Tuesday, July 19, just two days before Thursday’s contempt of court hearing. Those charges were brought after the utility company had gone past its 60 day deadline for either removing its lines or filing for an easement. The deadline was set on May 9 after landowner Susan Cameron took the company to court for trespassing. Simultaneously with the instigation of condemnation proceedings, PotEd has appealed the case to the Virginia Supreme Court. If the Supreme Court finds in favor of PotEd, construction of the upgraded line can continue under a 1928 right-of-way agreement. Otherwise, the utility will proceed with condemnation hearings to decide how much money Cameron will receive for a 50 foot wide easement along 1,289 feet of her property. After the contempt hearing, Cameron was disappointed that the company was not ordered to remove its new poles, which she said she would like to see gone “by sundown.” Her lawyer, David Konick, says he will fight the power company’s desire to wait for a supreme court decision on whether the old easement exists before going to trial for a new easement. Lawyers for both sides will meet with Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson on September 1 at 2 p.m. for a pre-trial order of structures. There, the parties will discuss a sequence of events and time table to follow. PotEd lawyers agreed that “the 30 days did inadvertently elapse” during which, under the May 9 order, they were to either file condemnation petitions or the company would have been required to remove its new lines. However, Robertson said PotEd has the right to file for eminent domain at any time and by doing so on Tuesday effectively stopped his need to find the company in contempt on Thursday for failing to choose a course of action. Representing Pot-Ed, attorney John Wetsel, Jr., of Winchester, says the remedy at this point would be to pay Cameron just compensation if a new easement is needed. Konick argued that PotEd should be required to post bond now on a good faith estimate of what the damages would be and that the condemnation trial should proceed without delay. PotEd lawyers indicated that it might be difficult to estimate the amount that would be paid for an easement until the actual trial. Meanwhile, the citizens’ group that organized in response to construction of the power line, the Rappahannock Homeowners Association, plans to meet soon to discuss the new power line and how it might affect other land in the area. Seve(Continued on Page 2) Planners Promised New Zoning Ordinance In August 4^ By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer “I’ll have a stack of ordinances ready for you at next month’s meeting,” Dick McNear assured the Rappahannock planning commissioners at last Wednesday’s session. A resident of Rappahannock and professional planner for neighboring Fauquier, McNear has served as an ex officio member of the planning commission here, directing the commissioners through a year-long review of local zoning ordinances. After the revised regulations come off the word processor at the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District offices, McNear suggested one final work session on the complete package before the new ordinance is taken to publichearing. Reporting that planning district director John Capelle had guaranteed that the 180 pages of zoning regulations would be finished by the August commission meeting, McNear promised to alert the commissioners as soon as copies are available. “I’ve not been able to put a handle on family transfers yet,” he said, referring to the troublesome provision in the current ordinance that allows property owners of record prior to 1962 to make up to five subdivisions for conveyance of two-acre lots to family members, specifically children or parents. The regulation was intended to permit the division for family transfer of lots of record as of 1963. The general concept of family transfers has been debated and discussed repeatedly by the planners; they have acknowledged that the constitutionally questionable provision had to be included in order for the first county zoning ordinance to be acceptable to the public. McNear reported that the revised zoning ordinance allows family transfers but for the definition of family transfer, it says “see subdivision ordinance.” “So when we do the new subdivision ordinance (scheduled for review and revision as soon as the zoning ordinance is complete), we’ll change it at that time,” planner Newbill Miller responded. “That makes it just perfect.” Tough On Signs “Billboards? Are you all interested in taking a real hard shot at getting rid of some of your billboards?” McNear asked. He said he could put “tougher” language in the revised zoning ordinance which would set stricter requirements for removal of a deteriorated billboard. “You can also put a deadline in—after ten years, they have to get rid of their billboards.” By consensus, the planning commissioners agreed to go with the more stringent billboard regulations and, in accordance with another suggestion from McNear, include a prohibition (in the subdivision ordinance) against subdividing property that is under open space easement. Zoning administrator David Konick asked that the revised ordinance clarify the exemption on setback regulations granted to utility structures. He suggested a limit on the size of structures exempted, a clearer deliniation of what types qualify. “Distribution lines to houses certainly should be exempt but not transmission lines and it shouldn’t be a blanket exemption. There should be some minimum (Continued on Page 2) NATHAN BURKE appreciates the fine showing from Darth Vader at the farm show. Sperryville Sow Wins Grand Pie Prize By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock News Staff Writer Eleven-year-old Stoney Frye of Sperryville never showed animals at a 4-H show before he found himself at this year’s CulpeperMadison - Rappahannock Farm Show with the grand champion swine. Stoney says he raised a winner on the first try. “It’s not too hard if you know what you’re doing. At first I didn’t, but I got use to it." Friday, Stoney and Seemore, a Duroc crossed Hampshire, had been together for 86 days. Their relationship started when agricultural adviser Oliver Brown took the piglet to Stoney and said, “Here’s your project.” Now Seemore weighs 230 pounds and Stoney is pretty proud of his PigBeginner’s luck? Stoney doesn’t think so. He says he’ll come back next year with two animals. A Rappahannock County resident, Stoney Frye attends school in Culpeper and belongs to the Culpeper 4-H club. Costume Winners One of the most popular events at the Culpeper-Madison-Rappahannock Farm Show is the costume class competition during the sheep show. Youngsters showing sheep dress up with their animals to portray characters and are judged for originality. This year the winners were from Rappahannock with first place honors going to Sussannah McNear and second to Matthew Eidson. Sussanah dressed as Miss Piggy and her lamb was Kermit. Last year Sussanah also placed first when she and her lamb dressed as a bride and groom. In Friday’s sheep show Laura McNear took first place in a special “Pre-4-H” contest. Her mother says the five-year-old thinks she’s pretty “hot stuff’ now that she has a blue ribbon; Laura stayed home to admire it rather than attending the livestock sale and watermelon party at the conclusion of the farm show. Local award recipients in other categories included Matthew Eidson, second place and Will Adams third in the novice division for first time exhibitors; Laura Adams, fifth place in senior exhibitors; Jennifer McNear third and Charlotte Magee fifth in the ladies’ lead line class. During Monday’s livestock sale market lambs were the subjects of some competitive bidding. Jennifer McNear’s lamb weighing 115 pounds brought $2.50, higher even than the grand champion market lamb (belonging to Allan Washington of Madison) which brought $2.35. McNear’s lamb ranked at the mid-point in judging, placing 13 in a field of 27. Every other Rappahannock lamb brought $2 pound at the auction. Rappahannock Extension Agent Birgitt Thornhill says the average market price was 42 cents. At least one Rappahannock youngster said she planned to buy her lamb back at market price and show it next year. April Adams says she might show (Continued on Page 12) Two Arrested In Co-op Theft The Rappahannock Sheriffs Department took less than 24 hours to make arrests for the Thursday night break-in and grand larceny at the Rappahannock Farmer’s Cooperative. Carl Lee Roberts, 18, of Woodville, and Michael Mair, 20, of Front Royal, face three counts of breaking and entering and three counts of grand larceny stemming from the incident at the Co-op and two earlier thefts. Roberts is free on personal recognizance while Mair, who is also charged with sodomy, remains in the Warren County jail, according to the jailer. According to acting sheriff John Henry Woodward, the two men entered the Coop during the storm Thursday night, breaking out a window in the revolving door on the loading dock. “They worked behind a truck that blocked them from sight from the road," Woodward reported. Using screw drivers they found in the lounge, Mair and Roberts removed a window in the metal door leading to the showroom but found the door padlocked and had to pry it open with a crow bar, the deputy said. Co-op employees discovered the break-in Friday morning and reported missing a combination television radio, a small radio, three pairs of blue jeans, two shirts, two jackets, a flash light and batteries, the deputy said. Woodward and Deputy Todd Brown arrested the pair on Friday following a short investigation. They were assisted by Deputy Ed Streapy and Trooper Harry Newlin. During the investigation, Woodward and Brown uncovered evidence that led to additional charges of breaking and entering and grand larceny at the residence of Mrs. Louise Jenkins in Huntly on Thursday afternoon. According to Woodward, a 30-30 rifle, derringer pistol, jewelry and unspecified amounts of cash were taken from the Jenkins' home. In addition, Roberts and Mair are charged with breaking and entering and grand larceny in connection with the theft of two cameras pnd other items from the residence of Sherrie Landsdown in Sperryville. All of the items taken from the Co-op and the two homes have been recovered, Woodward said, adding that his investigation is continuing. In Tuesday’s general district court, Roberts and Mair requested court-ap(Continued on Page if) EMS Volunteers Earn Honors Rappahannock rescue workers carried home most of the plaques from the Rappahannock-Rapidan EMS Council’s annual banquet Tuesday evening at Graves Mt. Lodge. Three of the four awards went to local emergency medical services volunteers. The Sperryville rescue squad members received the call of the year award for their response to an elderly couple pinned in a car following an accident on May 15. Julian Brown accepted the award on their behalf. He also took home his own plaque for being named outstanding instructor of the year. Sherry Hamill of Flint Hill was chosen as outstanding rescue squadsman of the year. She started years ago as an emergency medical technician (EMT). She is now a cardiac EMT as well as a certified instructor and goes on 90 percent of Flint Hill’s rescue calls. The final award went to Dr. Jay Moscoe from the Culpeper Memorial Hospital's emergency room for his coordination between hospitals and assistance in training EMS volunteers. State Funds Amiasville Ambulance The Amissville Fire and Rescue Squad received the good news that a $24,000 state grant has been approved to go toward an advanced life support ambulance. Accepting the official letter of approval at Tuesday’s EMS annual meeting was Amissville fire and rescue captain Carl “Mudd” James. James says the money is part of a “hardship grant” program in which the state pays 80 percent for the community’s 20 percent. Such a program gives smaller areas a greater chance for improvements than matching funds which would require the locality to put up half of the money. The new ambulance will replace a 17-year-old one (Continued on Page 2) Weather Is THE News Storm Blasts U tilities A week of near record temperatures and sweltering humidity ended with a bang Thursday night as howling winds, thunder and lightning—plus a little rain—blew across Rappahannock County. The storm left 600 Potomac Edison Power Company customers and several hundred customers of Rappahannock Electric Cooperative without power as high winds and lightning joined forces to knock out substations and topple treeB onto transmission lines. “It was the strangest thunderstorm I’ve seen since I’ve been here,” said REC’s Francis Updike. “It was so broad, so wide spread. We had lines down from Amissville to Caroline County and all points in between. There were 7,500 homes out of service at the peak.” The storm officially hit at 8:40 p.m., according to Up(Continued on Page 2) —Rappahannock News Photo/D. Hutchinson ONE WAY TO BEAT THE HEAT — It may not be practical for everyone to haul a chair down to the pond to sit until temperatures drop but that’s how little Elbe Coon coped with last week’s sweltering weather. How Dry . Is It? Country folks say that when the tassels stand on end and branch out every wild which-way turning a com stalk into a skinny lady with frizzled hair, the plant is suffering from stress. Lack of rain has local farmers and gardeners stressed. According to experts, the weather hasn't reached a drought situation yet. Still, when people cut their feet walking on the dried clay around the corn plants, they know something is wrong. During a dry spell, plants overcompensate by trying to reach maturity too fast. The shucks curl and the corn is stunted due to too much sun and heat and too little water. Ironically, record rainfalls this spring kept farmers waiting to plant. In fact, Rappahannock streams reached flood levels in April, with nine inches of rain falling during the first three weeks of the month, three inches in one day on April 15. Damage to low-lying fields, which looked more (Continued on Page 2) — Rappahannock News Pho(o/D Hutchinson STILL SMILING despite 100 degree plus temperatures in the attic of the Clopton House, Helen Fairfax, Flossie Williamson and Martha Sutherland bring a fresh bunch of flowers up to dry. The blooms will later become part of prized arrangements at the fall house tour and dried flower sale. Getting Around This month’s Rappahannock history pages are on travel in the county, pages six and seven. Thanks to all who helped with old pictures, stories and documents. House Tour Takes Year Round Planning Ladies carrying baskets brimming with summer’s bright blossoms to Trinity parish hail focus attention on the annual dried flower sale and house tour. Now in its 27th year, the event draws many hundreds of appreciative visitors to view the beauty of Rappahannock County and its showcase homes. Although summer is the busiest time for the volunteers who collect the flowers and plan the tour and sale, work goes on year round. To coordinate this highly successful event requires dedicated support and service from a score of committees. This 1983 house tour and dried flower sale is directed by co-chairmen Jane Herndon and Martha Sutherland, two veterans in the staging of the annual project. They have a host of lieutenants heading a long list of committees: * House selection — Grace Sims and Martha Sutherland, * Hostesses — Mary Botts Quaintance, •House Decoration — Jean McNear, Christine Johnston and Francis Russell, Tour Tea — Frances Russell and Charlotte Nichols, * Flower Seed Selection — Flossie Williamson and Amy Monahan, ♦Flower Transplanting — Flossie Williamson, •Flower Drying — Grace (Continued on Page 2)

Scouts Battle Winds On Nags Head Expedition By CHANDRA DAVIS, HEATHER KILPATRICK, NICOLE MAEYER, GINA MANWARING, TERRY RUSSELL, and MARNIE TURMAN Cadette Girl Scout Troop 502 went to the Outer Banks of North Carolina last week. We arrived at Camp* Salvo, between Nag’s Head and Cape Hatteras, Monday afternoon. We immediately put on our bathing suits and went swimming in the ocean. After about an hour of swimming we came back to set up six tents. It took us a long time to set up the tents becaus the wind was blowing hard. Then we ate and cleaned up dinner. After dinner we went to bed. On Tuesday morning we went on a nature walk, guided by two Park Rangers. They told us how the barrier islands were formed and how they are always changing. They also talked abput the plant and animal life on the islands. For example, they told us how ant lions trap ants but when they tried to demonstrate this the ants kept escaping from the ant lion traps. The Rangers’ excuse was that one of the Rangers hadn’t trained his ants well enough. After the nature hike we went for another swim. That afternoon we went wading in the sound on the other side of the island and then we watched life-saving techniques taught by two lifeguards on the beach. Next we had another swim in the ocean. Then we went back to camp to change and eat. That evening we went to see “The Lost Colony,” an outdoor pageant about England’s first attempt to colonize the New World. When we got back to camp, we ( were confined to our tents so 1 our weight would keep them i from blowing away. During the night there i was a thunderstorm with rain and strong winds. Early Wednesday morning two of the tents blew over and two poles were bent. Most of our stuff was wet. After we got five of our six tents back up and staked down with special stakes meant to hold tents in sand and got our gear dried out, we went to ride the ferry boat over to Ocracoke Island. When we got to Ocracoke Island we went to a few shops. Then we went to get in line to come back on the ferry. After we checked to make sure our tents were still up, we went to a crab feast at the Salvo firehouse put on by the Salvo Fire Department and Boy Scouts. We ate so many crabs that we got belly aches. When we got Isack to camp, we put together a crab pot and went crabbing. We caught one crab that w£ named Herman. Then we let him go. Next we went down to the beach to see if we could find any ghost crabs in the moonlight. We didn’t see any. When we got back to camp, we helped some people put up their tents. Then we hit the sack. tKappaliannock Neuih Rappahannock & Adjoining Counties per year $8.00 Elsewhere in the U.S. per year $10.00 Outside the U.S. per year $8.00 plus postage SUBSCRIPTION RATES BY MAIL ALL PAYABLE IN ADVANCE ( (New ( )Renewal ( )Check Enclosed NAME ___ ADDRESS __ CITY___ STATE__ ZIP_ Entered as second class mail at the Post Office in Vifarrenton, Va.

The court intended to ask Sharon Luke to represent Mair, but didn’t definitely appoint her without her consent since Commonwealth’s Attorney Douglas Baumgardner pointed out that a number of members of the Rappahannock Bar Association will be involved in the case as witnesses, presenting a potential for conflict of interest. The next court appearance for the two was set for August 12 at 9. Volunteers Earn District Honors Continued from Page 1 that James says would never pass state certification, but was “grandfathered” because it was being used in Amissville when new standards were adopted by the state. James says bids for the new ambulance range from $37,000 to $44,000. The Amissville ambulance account was called “the biggie” as state officials announced grants totaling $32,467 for four jurisdictions within the RappahannockRapidan Planning District. The Washington Volunteer Rescue Squad received $2,800 for radio equipment. Squads in Richardsville and Orange County received the rest of the money. Requests from nine areas in the district had totaled $56,000. Making the announcements at Tuesday’s EMS banquet was state Delegate Raymond R. “Andy” Guest who told the audience that it was “a pleasure to share vicariously your tax lollars coming back to you.” Also at Tuesday’s annual meeting, the district EMS council elected Paul Poling, Amissville fire chief, to serve another term as its president. Poling was recently appointed to the governor’s state advisory council for emergency medical services.

Then Estabrook says he wants to know what local people think about the quality of education and to have them share their concerns with him. Such discussion should be a springboard for “our own study right here,” he said. Estabrook added that he hopes to have similar meetings with school parents and patrons on a continuing basis.

Ghost Rider From The West “Buzz” Fontaine says he looked outside and let out a low whistle. “That guy’s been lost for a-long time,” he said to himself. Fontaine, manager of the Viewtown Country Store, says he stared in shock as the stranger rode up on horseback. The weary traveler was dressed and outfitted in the garb of a Confederate corporal. Introducing himself as Troy Sorbello, the soldier brushed off the dust and stayed a spell. He said he had been on the road since May 7th, traveling some where between 12 and 40 miles a day, “depending on the weather, who I meet and what I do.” He started out in Salem, West Virginia, went up to Gettysburg for a while, and now was headed toward Charlottesville where he expected to meet up with the rest of the troops. Other “Confderate” horsemen from Salem had taken a route through Staunton, but Sorbello detoured to visit his father near Gettysburg. Now they would all gather again at Afton. Sorbello told F ontaine that he carried all “the required weapons.” He pointed out his revolver and his sabre, but said that someone had stolen his carbine. Otherwise he had the proper gear, he said, “curry comb and all.” Soon the soldier mounted his trusty steed, Elizabeth Heritage, referred to as “Liz or most anything else for short.” He headed South to finish his summer “Civil War Cavalry corps” expedition and then to return to his other life—as a university student in West Virginia. Planners Promised New Ordinance (Continued from Page 1) setback but not the same as for a house,” he maintained. “We need something with flexibility,” Miller •added. The commissioners agreed to include in the revised ordinance provision for the board of zoning appeals to establish setback for utility structures on a caseby-case basis. Trailer Amendment The commissioners scheduled a public hearing for their August meeting on a proposed zoning ordinance amendment to allow trailers providing dental and medical services. Dr. Riehard Hughes of the U.ST“ Public Health Service who is assigned to Rappahannock County explained that space is needed to expand the dental clinic now operated out of Health Department offices in Washington. The clinic serves school children primarily, but also indigent residents of the county, Hughes said. Locating the trailer behind the elementary school will resolve the transportation problem posed by having to bring the children to Washington for dental treatment, he said. “They won’t miss as much class,” he added. The trailer, which will have two chairs, a waiting room and a doctor’s study, is being provided at no cost to the county. All installation expenses will be paid by the Health Department, Hughes said, adding that plans call for the dental unit to be a permanent facility. “Two things concern me,” commissioner Werner Krebser responded. “We’re setting a precedent allowing a trailer in the county.” (Under the current ordinance, trailers are allowed only in mobile home parks or by temporary permit while a residence is being constructed.) “But I also recognize the importance of providing dental care for our children,” Krebser said, asking if the unit could be moved behind the elementary school building where it won’t be as visible. “I’m just thinking of the neighbors,” he added. “And if the elementary school is ever enlarged, the clinic could be incorporated into the building. That would resolve the problem of the trailer.” “Gentlemen, this is here now and it’s paid for,” Miller reminded his fellow commissioners. Richard Sharp, Health Department administrator for the five-county area, said that the trailer had originally been used as a medical clinic in Louisa. When that county incorporated its clinic into a permanent building, “we saw the possibility of getting something for Rappahannock,” he said. At about the same time, Greene County disbanded its dental clinic and the Health Department was able to retrieve two dental chairs from that source. “When we moved it here, we weren’t aware we were violating the zoning ordinance,” Sharp said, adding that the Health Department had 30 to 50 such trailers scattered across the state. “As far as placement, we would put it where ever you directed,” he assured the commissioners, noting that the facility will be connected to the elementary school’s water and sewer systems and will therefore not need separate septic and water permits. “There are lots of places that would like to have this trailer,” he added. “We have no problem with the concept. We’re just trying to find a way to do it so no one will make a stink about it,” commissioner David Fannon said. Noting that the adoption of the revised zoning ordinance will provide a second chance at making changes in wording, the commissioners voted unanimously to set the public hearing on the dental trailer amendment for August 17. The supervisors will be asked to advertise the amendment for public hearing at their September meeting so that the trailer will be operational soon after school opens. In other action, the planners approved advertise- '* ment of (1) tag-on applications for the Jenkins Mountain Agricultural and Forestal District and (2) receipt of an application for an Agricultural and Forestal District at Red Oak Mountain. Storm Swapped Heat For Power (Continued from Page 1) dike. It knocked out two substations (Culpeper and Brandy Station) and several circuits from the Rixeyville substation which serves Rappahannock County customers in Castleton, Woodville, Amiss ville, Laurel Mills and Rock Mills. Most of the major lines, the power company’s top priority, were back in operation within two or three hours, Updike said. Repairs to individual service began Friday morning and the last powerless REC customer had lights back on at 8:45 p.m. that evening, he said. Transmission lines in the Rixeyville and Richardsville area sustained the most damage, Updike added. “Those were some of the largest trees I’ve seen go down in a long time—trees three and four feet in diameter.” According to reports Updike received, winds gusted up to 60 miles per hour. “We brought in crews from the Manassas Cooper ative and hired six independant contractor crews. We had as many people working on repairs as we’ve had in major winter storms,” he said. Potomac Edison customers in Woodville, Amissville, Washington, Huntly and Flint Hill were left without power for between four and 24 hours. “The range of the storm spread us very, very thin,” said Jim Poffenberger from PotEd’s Luray office. “In the area this office is responsible for, we had 6,000 households out. We borrowed three crews from Harrisonburg (to assist with line repair).” Poffenberger described the storm as “some kind of wind,” adding that he had received reports from Maryland of gusts up to 75 miles per hour! Travel Impeded “We worked until 1 a.m. Thursday night pulling trees from roads,” reported Doug Bywaters, supervisor at the Highway Department’s Washington maintenance shop. The areas hardest hit were around Slate Mills and down Route 729, he said. Crews were back out early Friday morning to clear downed limbs and will continue working this week on grinding up brush. “I’ve never seen the wind blow that hard before,” Bywaters added. According to Dennis Wingfield, channel four’s weather watcher in Sperryville, northwest gusts reached 45 to 50 miles per hour there. High winds and falling branches did not cause any accidents in Rappahannock County, however, reported acting Sheriff John Henry Woodward. But deputies were on the road, he said, assisting highway crews in clearing trees and directing traffic after the temporary light on the Thornton River bridge near Sperryville went out. How Dry ((. ontinueu trom rage l ) like lakes, was spotty, but pastures seemed green after a warm, wet March. Seeding of oats and hay as well as spreading of fertilizer were delayed, and waiting vegetable gardeners were advised by extension agent Rap Owings to choose varieties able to withstand the dry, hot weather that he predicted would surely come during the summer. It’s here. Rappahannock weather watcher Dennis Wingfield, who measures the rainfall in Sperryville for Channel four, says rain totaled less than an inch during the first 25 days of this month compared to more than an inch a week this. time last year. Wingfield adds that last July there were only three days during the month with temperatures 90 degrees or more. So far this year there have been 12 days with such hot temperatures—seven of them all in a row. That, says Wingfield, is “why the gar SHERIFF’S SALE Twelve Black Angus Cows to be sold to satisfy judgements for Southern States Coop., Inc., Luray, Virginia.

But it shouldn’t be too much longer before the skies will be totally cloudy and some of that humidity falls to the earth as rain. Then there will still be time to practice succession planting of new corn crops that can be harvested before the first frost.

Contempt Of Court (Continued from Page 1 ) ral members attending the contempt hearing were worried that the company might also cross their land. The petition filed in court last week only seeks right-of-way across the Cameron property. However, Konick says if other property owners seek injunctions, the power company would have the right to file a petition listing all the lands in the proposed construction route and exercise eminent domain.

Pickett Exploring Collaborative Art In SPECTRA’s Summer Program Is art a solo flight or can the artist, as co-pilot, work with a crew of navigators, Rewards, stewardesses, mechanics and attjendents on a flight in creativity? That’s the question that Vic Pickett, head of the art department at Old Dominion University and sculpture of note, is trying to answer at SPECTRA Sthool of Design. Pickett is a visiting instructor at the Flint Hill school’s summer program, assisting with last week’s session and a second session set for August 7-12. “This is an experiment. It’s a creative situation for me as well as for the students. I can use the yellowed pages of notes I’ve had for 20 years,” Pickett explained. “I have to make it up on the spot.” At Norfolk’s ODU, the sculptor works in a more conventional setting, following a curriculum that he developed. “But as a preliminary to this, I teamtaught three classes—two dimensional design, three dimensional design and color—with a colleague. I was concerned over how I would be able to contribute at SPECTRA. I asked Don (Donald Chandler, the Northern Virginia architect who founded and directs the school) if I should bring my band saw anl my welding equipment. Don said no, that we’d do with w’hat’s on the site. This kind of approach allows you to get immediately involved in the environment.” In creating sculpture, SPECTRA students work primarily with wood, stone and dirt. “So what you’re involved in is an attitude about creativity and making things without the pressures of an external system. But if fall the students get here and decide it’s necessary to have plaster in order to create what they want to create, we would go out and get plaster,” Pickette said. “But it would be a decision made in response to the sight, not in spite of it,” he emphasized. This decision making process shares the focus with art at the week-long summer sculpture program and at all of SPECTRA’S classes. “The schedule is decided upon by who is here— after they get here. It isn’t packaged before the students arrive. They become part of the package,” Pickett explained. “When I was first asked to be part of this summer program, I thought I’d be a hermit making sculpture. But that’s not the way Don works at all. Every individual’s creativity is encouraged but it’s in a group situation. The group interaction is very important to him and it’s becoming very important to me” the sculptor said. “It’s collaborative art in a sense—you work together and enhance your own creativity,” he explained. “And it’s terrific! I really like it. It’s a lot of fun. I’m finding areas where before I only trusted myself. I’m learning to give up those areas, that old isolation, and allowing others to be involved in my creativity and me in theirs. It’s a more exciting way to teach. “I’ve always had a very negative attitude about group projects,” Pickett continued. Before, whenever a group of artists got together, I was always the one wandering off alone to set up my tent and do my own thing. Here, I’m trying to find out if my enjoyment people can be extended while I’m making sculpture. Now it’s possible for me to understand how a finished product can result from a collaborative effort. Before SPECTRA, art was always a singular activity for me.” Couldn’t Justify Art Pickett started out to be a scientist or maybe a minister, studying zoology and UNTITLED, 1977; Chrysler Hall, Norfolk; stainless steel, eight feet in diameter.

State a^d East Carolina University, majoring in product design and doing sculpture on his own. “I’d always been interested in art but I couldn’t justify aiming for a career as an artist. It seemed like the heighth of egotism.” he said. But at the universities, he met instructors “who made me understand I could do what I felt was important, not what others told me was important.” An art instructor at ODU for 20 years, he was recently named chairman of the department. Pickett’s urban sculptures wed art and architecture. He sees the giant pieces as expressions of his intuitive feelings about “relationships... the internal relationships of parts, of things, of placement and size.” He works some with wood and plastic but primarily in metal. Pickett’s creations celebrate form over function, filling lobbies and halls with gleaming stainless steel that excites the emotions and challenges the mind but serves no “practical” purpose. He has a 30-foot high sculpture in the Chesterfield Mall in St. Louis, Missouri, an undulating figure eight ring of stainless steel with extending rays that alternately capture and reflect light. Pickett’s linear sphere, an explosion of light and line with rays of steel built around center rings, hangs at the Hanes Mall in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. His untitled piece at the Chrysley Museum in Norfolk relies in the intersection of a cylindrical mass by two warped planes to create the illusion of motion and energy. Another untitled work in the garden of the Kauffman Engineering Building on the ODU campus slices skyward, a seven foot high spear of balance. He’s not sure what impact the experiences at SPECTRA will have on his artistic expression. “The only thing I’m sure of is that there will be art. The structure of it may change drastically.” He added that his adventure into collaborative art doesn’t necessarily involve a host of artists each sticking on an extension here, a color there, a bulging spere on one side and a stainless steel ray on the other. “Individual effort is not in opposition to collaborative work,” he stressed. “The group involvement may entail just support and encouragement given the creator, not participation in the creation itself.” SPECTRA School, like the sculpture program, focuses on the interaction of people working together, according to Pickett. “That’s the basis of what it’s all a bout... But its still an experiment,” the artist noted. “Pm not sure yet if it works. I want to discover if it might have been possible for me to have made the sculpture I’ve made in the past in a collaborative way instead.” Vic Pickett UNTITLED, ll)66, Old Dominion campus, Norfolk; stainless steel, seven feet high. Last Minute Wood Gets Mixed Reaction Last Minute Wood Company, Rappahannock’s modern dance troupe, drew mixed reviews from Washington Post critic Alan Kriegsman for last weekend’s performance at Glen Echo Park in Washington. But Kriegsman was instinting in his praise for Sally Nash, founder, choreographer and dancer with Last Minute Wood. “Within the scale of contemporary Washington dance, Sally Nash sounds a note distinctly her own— this in itself singles her out of the crowd and invests her work with more than ordinary interest,” wrote Kriegsman in a review that appeared in Monday’s Post. “For Nash, dance is a way of saying things about the everyday experience of living—things that could not be expressed as potently by any other means. The themes she explores with the members of her Last Minute Wood Company.. .revolve around generational bonds and conflicts, rites of passage, the grinding chores of backwoods existence. Most of of her work develops from group improvisation and it has a chracteristically homespun, elemental, rough-hewn look.” Kriegsman found all these qualities much in evidence in Nash’s Glen Echo program, which included “scenes from Childhood” (1982) and the brand-new “Seen Through Moving Water.” But he found missing from both works “the strinkingly surreal imagery, the unspecific but clearly centered emotional focus and the formal coherence that made last year’s ‘Seven Dreams and an Awakening’ so compelling.” Still, he found “privileged moments” in each work. “Scenes from Childhood” gave the audience a child’s-eye view of the Mother (Nan Reddick), “playing with her offspring as if they were doll house figurines.” The viewers “heard Father (Mitch Mercurio, with Catherine Kiley as his mysterious shadow) popping in the door after a day of gallivanting and exclaiming, ‘What’s for dinner?’ ” In “Seen Through Moving Water,” the critic described as “riverting” the passage in which "a melancholy cluster of dancers momentarily evoked Rodin’s statuary ‘The Burghers of Calais.’ ” He also singled out for praise a gender-changing duet performed by Helen Rea and Don Zuckerman, guest members of Last Minute Wood. “Ope left with renewed respect for Nash’s honesty, probing spirit and individuality, but also a sense that these particular productions remained artistically uncrystallized,” Kriegsman concluded. + -f + By the start of the Revolutionary War, Philadelphia was the world’s largest English-speaking city outside Britain, National Geographic says.

Audit Bureau of Circulation 7 Thursday, July 28, 1983 Agricultural Districts In the debate over Agricultural and Forestry Districts that began here last spring, opponents seized as a rallying point the impact that use value taxation allowed in the districts will have on the county’s tax base. According to the commissioner of revenue’s projections, that “impact” is one cent on the current levy. But even if it were much more, the cost would have to be weighed against the benefits that Agricultural and Forestry Districts bring, benefits that are underscored in a ruling handed down by Judge Thomas Home last month in a Fauquier County case. Home’s decision shows that ag districts can buttress development controls, a lesson important to a populace united behind the effort to preserve Rappahannock County’s unique rural character and scenic beauty. The case at issue, Costello, et al v. Board of Supervisors of Fauquier County, involved a challenge to the board’s actions in downzoning a 22.5 acre tract at Old Tavern from commercial to residential. In a 15-page opinion rendered on June 22, Judge Home upheld the county’s actions. His findings give great support to well-reasoned long term planning and zoning on the local level. He cited several points as reasoning for his decision, points that Rappahannock’s planning commissioners would be well advised to go over as part of their review and revision of zoning and subdivision ordinances here. One point in particular, however, offers a counter argument to the critics of Agricultural and Forestry Districts. “The subject 22.5 acre parcel is and has been used for farming. There is no evidence that it has ever been used for any other purpose,” Home found. The property in question “is located in community characterized by farmland, fields, scattered woodlands, and neat and well kept singlefamily residences. There is no industry, and local commerce is limited to a turn of the century country store,” the judge wrote in his opinion. Then, in his summary, Horne concluded that “The commercial zoning previously connected with the property was and is consistent with the general character of surrounding users, a fact which has become more evident with the placing of lands near the parcel in Agricultural and Forestry Districts...” When Virginia’s General Assembly adopted the Agricultural District legislation, it did so intending that creation of such districts should be used as a tool to protect and encourage the state’s embattled farming industry AND to help local government control and direct development ^toward those same ends. Judge Home’s decision shows that the tool can be used effectively. And that’s something that has to be measured against the adverse impace—if any—that Agricultural and Forestal Districts have, now or in the future, on Rappahannock’s tax base. This Was The News In Bygone Rappahannock Times... 20 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS A bumper crop of apples was predicted for Rappahannock County as August’s first issue went to press. Apple broker L.J. Kilby of Sperryville said the crop was of the best qualify and flavor ever; farmer E.M. Richards posed for the Rappahannock News in his orchard before boughs heavily laden with clusters of fine fruit. Good weather was credited for the news. The Flint Hill Firemen’s Carnival was well underway and eight beauties were wondering which of them would be crowned queen at the upcoming Amissville carnival. In the running were Lou Ann Phillips, Peggy Hitt, Becky Cooper, Nancy Corder, Peggy Cook, Mabel Glascock, Diane Sisk and Susan O’Halloran. Local country music buffs were tuning up to go to a “hootananny” and contest in Fauquier County that was to be attended by “Skeeter” Davis as well as Eddie Matherly and Clyde Moody. The Rappahannock News had just been assigned a new phone number: 675-3349. 10 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS The front page of the July 26, 1973 edition of the Rappahannock News detailed the pollution problem in Sperryville. Raw sewage from some 30 open pipelines was endangering the Thornton River. Yet the price tag of a proposed treatment plant — $500,000 — was not well-received at a well-attended meeting at the Rappahannock Courthouse. District health director Dr. R.S. LeGarde pledged “a more energetic attempt” to achieve a cost-efficient solution. He added the optimistic note that Sperryville enjoyed a “high priority” for State Water Control Board approved grants. Animal Industry Day at VPI was attended by 76 Rappahannock farmers who returned with good news about new methods of curbing feed costs. Carefully managed fescue fields allow the possibility of year-round grazing, farmers were told. Dabney Eastham, Irvin Kilby, Ivar Jacobs and Ray Johnson were among local farmers who took a bus to Blacksburg to learn how to use fescue and other wintering methods to cut costs. They heard from Sen. Harry Byrd, an orchardist, that farmers were his “fellow optimists.” LOur Rappahannock Heritage J Now We Know The Cause of the Carter Presidential Failure By EUGENE McCARTHY Rappahannock News Guest Columnist We are indebted to former Vice-President Mondale for an explanation of the failure of the Carter-Mondale administration. The former vice-president is quoted in a recent TIME magazine as saying “Let me tell you, being in the White House without a mandate is pure hell.” The significance of this reality can be understood only if one considers that at least since 1960 it has been recognized that a successful president needs a charisma, an aura (preferrable of leadership, although one of invincibility will serve in a pinch), a mandate (or two), and finally, as a last defense, a consensus. Whereas it was generally recognized that as a candidate, Jimmy Carter had a charisma, even though it was one of relatively low level vitality, not unlike moss on rock, slightly green in the summer and slightly gray in the winter, or like one of the lower forms of animal life, say, it was also recognized that charisma was lost soon after Jimmy Carter was elected president of the United States. It was, however, believed that he still had an essential aura and a mandate. But by march of 1978 a long time aura observer, Marquis Childs, announced that President Carter no longer had an “aura” of leadership. Columnist Childs observed that it was not the ordinary problems and troubles of a new president that had caused Mr. Carter’s descent in the polls, but rather something which the columnist said” is more complicated than is generally understood.”. He had lost his aura. The loss of an aura is not fatal to an administration, but its loss does leave a President in a weakened position, especially if his charisma has faded. The real difficulty with the Carter administration, we now learn from the former vice-president, was that President Carter had no mandate with him in the White House. Even giving new meaning to the vicepresidency and institutionalizing that meaning, which the former vice-president says was accomplished during the years of the CarterMondale administration, cannot make up for the abB sence of a mandate around the White House. Without a mandate, evidently, a President had to depend on a consensus. Now Poet, author, former U. S. Senator from Minnesota and candidate for the presidency, Eugene McCarthy now lives in the F. T. Valley near Slate Mills. a consensus can be useful, but it in no way compares to a supporting mandate. A mandate is more personal than a consensus, somewhat like a one-person dog. It is more loyal, as a rule, than is a consensus, which is much like an aardvark, ill defined and likely to disappear, usually by burrowing into the ground, when the person who has attached himself or herself to the aardvark is not watching. The attachment between the consensus and its principal is always one-way. It is not mutual. The difficulty of finding or holding a consensus was demonstrated in a New York Times’ story of April 29, which reported that a group of Republican Senators were busy looking for a consensus, while Senator Lawton Chiles of Florida, a Democrat, who, it was implied, might have been able to help the Republicans find the consensus, was hunting wild turkey in Virginia. Whether Senator Chiles was using a voice caller, or one of Lynch’s fool-proof-box turkey callers, was not noted in the New York paper. Nor was it noted whether callers used on wild turkeys sometimes attract a consensus or two. It was, however, the loss of the mandate, or the absence of one, that really hurt the Carter Administration. President’s need a mandate or two as medieval kings needed a falcon or two for support and Haile Selassie a brace of lions on a golden chair to sustain his majesty. According to the former vice-president, President Carter was further handicapped by having “no agenda” to lean on after being elected. Obviously an Administration which had lost both its charisma and its aura early and which never had a mandate or an agenda to lean on was sure to falter. Voices Of Rappahannock, An Overview Of History The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community’s project, “Voices of Rappahannock”, is a five part program whose purpose is to stimulate thought and increase knowledge about the county’s history and folklore. The parts include: (1) Historical research involving documents and oral recollections. (2) A series of five lectures about Rappahannock history starting August 26 at the Gay Street Theater entitled “150 Years of Change,” ‘The Growth of Democracy,” “The Transformation of Agriculture,” “The Black Experience,” and “Visions for the Future.” (3) An historical drama based on Rappahannock’s 150 years as a county. (4) A small companion photo exhibit. (5) A pamphlet documenting the results of the project. Citizens of all ages and experience are invited to participate. “Voices of Rappahannock” is. partially funded by the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities and Public Policy.

Lawyer Defends Kidwell Closure To the editor: I read with an abiding interest your story of July 21, 1983, concerning your newspaper’s efforts to reverse Judge Home’s order sealing from public view certain documents and testimony in the case of the* Commonwealth v. Diane Kidwell. Your headline that “Secrecy Breeds Suspicion” is misleading and has the potential to infect and prejudice the calm and decent attitude of the good citizens of Rappahannock County from which the next jury will be drawn in October. I am confident that neither you nor your distinguished counsel intended to prejudice the due process rights of a woman on trial for her life. I am not at liberty to discuss the matters which occurred before Judge Home nor am I free to comment about the present litigation before the Supreme Court of Virginia because I represent Diane Kidwell in both of those matters. However, perhaps it would be helpful, in the interest of fair play and an informed public, to briefly discuss why the law protects certain matters from disclosure and that secrecy in a judicial proceeding does not breed suspicion. Your readers should know that the law creates certain privileged relationships and circumstances to protect the communications of those relationships because of a greater Constitutional or public interest at stake. For example, in the case of your newspaper, as well as others, the law and the courts prevent the disclosure of your confidential sources which you utilize to discover and write stories of public interest. The courts have found your First Amendment rights to obtain information and thereby inform the public outweigh and are superior to the right of others to discover how and from whom you obtained the information to write your story. I assume that your protected secrecy in this regard is neither suspicious nor sinister. You are simply keeping a confidence entrusted to you by a source of information. You would not be a free press under the First Amendment unless you were able to protect the confidence of your source. Similarly, privilege and protection applies to disclosure of communications between a patient and a physician; a penitent and a priest; a husband and a wife; and a client and a lawyer. In these instances, the courts have found, as in your case, that the interests of society are better served by protecting these sacred relationships. An invasion and disclosure of the communications during these relationships would destroy the relationships which the courts have found are essential, albeit secret, to the maintenance of a free society. The same protection holds true in the case of testimony given by a citizen to a grand jury during an investigation. A grand jury is a group of citizens which sits in secret to determine whether a crime has been committed in the community. The grand jury has been a bulwark of liberty to protect innocent citizens from malicious, arbitrary and abusive prosecutors. The grand jury sits in secret to permit citizens to give evidence without retribution, reprisal, or injury to their liberty, fortune or reputation. The court in this case was dealing with privileged matters and matters occurring before the grand jury which had no bearing on the issue of guilt or innocence of Diane Kidwell. The court, after hearing all of the facts and arguments of counsel for both sides, found that the matters of privilege, the matters occurring before the grand jury and the Constitutional due process rights of Diane Kidwell were paramount to the right of your newspaper to obtain the information under the seal of the court. There is nothing suspicious or sinister in Judge Horne’s ruling. He simply found from the facts before him that those matters before him ‘ and presented to him under seal dictated his protective order. The first trial, which was fair and open, amply demonstrated the prudence and wisdom of his ruling. It would be a gross injustice to the Commonwealth of Virginia and Diane Kidwell to promote suspicion and prejudice simply because your interests did not prevail under certain paramount Constitutional and privileged interests. In a Constitutional democracy, we have discovered th*t no one has an absolute right. All of our rights and privileges have to be considered and weighed under the peculiar circumstances presented to the court in each case. It is not uncommon, unusual or cause for suspicion that a court finds that a privilege, grand jury secrecy or the due process rights of a defendant in a serious criminal case are paramount to the desires of the newspaper for disclosure. Thank you fyr the opportunity to present and express these views. JOHN M. DOWD Washington, D.C.

Expansion Of Subdivision Sales Act Considered The Virginia Real Estate Commission Advisory Committee will hold a public hearing on amendments to the Subdivided Land Sales Act of 1978, on July 29, beginning at 7 p.m. at Lord Fairfax College, Middletown. In the 1960’s and 70’s, many subdivisions were established with no zoning or subdivision ordinances at either the county or the state level. The Subdivided Land Sales Act provided the first state effort to regulate subdivisions. One of its provisions required developers to create a property owners as iociation (POA) which would have the legal powers to manage the subdivision when the developers finished his sales effort. However, the act required that the POA must have been established prior to the sale of the first lot, thereby keeping the majority of old subdivisions from falling under the act. The proposed amendments to be considered at the July 29 hearing will bring old subdivisions under the act. The Advisory Committee has been charged with the task of submitting rec ommendations for amending the act to the General Assembly in January, 1984.

Love, E.T. (E.T.’s letter comes courtesy of Veronica Thomas.) Slippery Hippo Last week we asked our readers to plan what corrective measures they would take should they suddenly spy a hippopotamus in the bathtub. It’s a problem posed to Rappahannock elementary school pupils in the gifted and talented program. Teacher Lynne Baines says such an apparentlysilly question paves the way for creative problem solving in more “weighty” (if you’ll pardon the pun) and serious matters such as: What would you do if you were Principal for a day? What would you do if you could write one new law that would benefit the most people possible? How would you program the time if you owned a television station? But getting back to the hippo, here’s an assortment of responses from “the mouths of babes”: Tommy Schoppet says if dynamite doesn’t work, you can get 50 non-poisonous snakes to bite him on the belly. Anna Hudson agrees with the dynamite idea and supports all-out war against bathing hippopotamuses. She advocates pouring acetic acid on him, poisoning him, strangling him, starving him, shooting him — and if all else fails, call a plumber. Gaby Lee goes along with getting someone else to doit. If left to her own devices, she would stick a pin in him and “let him deflate”, tell him the African Queen is on TV and invite him to watch, or tell him Buckwheat is dead, and ask him to come mourn with America. David Mosher and Scott Blevins are apparently reaching a certain age of sophistication. They say the best approach is to tell him there’s a lady hippo waiting outside to lure him away.

It was used as a Confederate hospital during the war, and those who died there were buried out back. After the war, the house was said to be haunted, and the owner, Judge Strothers, couldn’t keep any servants, until he announced to all concerned that he had shot all the ghosts with silver bullets. Visible for many years in the attic was the graffitti written on the walls by the recuperating soldiers; but when the house was remodeled, this was painted over. Mr. Willis Snell, the host, will open the lower floors of the home to Historical Society members and their families after the picnic.

Traveling In The Mountains Wasn’t Always So Easy Jenkins’ Motor Bus Served Rappahannock In the late 1920’s and early ’30’s, Walker Jenkins of Washington operated a bus route, carrying passengers for many years between Culpeper and Winchester, and later between Sperryville and Fredericksburg. Jenkins and those working for him made two double round trips a day, giving Rappahannock residents without transportation a chance to spend a day shopping in the city or to arrange appointments. His routes also connected with railroad service to Richmond and to the valley. Ruby Jenkins, his daughter, remembers the days when folks anywhere between Culpeper and Winchester could stand along the road and wave for the big seven-passenger Buicks to stop. Jenkins started out as a mail carrier when he was 14. Ruby Jenkins remembers a story he told of carrying the mail through a rough lightning storm. “He was stunned by lightning,” she said. “When he came to, he continued by foot to the post office. There was the horse waiting for him.” In addition to electrical storms, Jenkins had to contend with severe winter weather in an open buggy. His heater? A kerosene lantern placed at his feet. The working conditions weren’t great and the hours weren’t either. When Jenkins carried the mail to Warrenton, he’d leave at 4 in the morning and return at night. Later, when he expanded to carry passengers, he hired additional men, Clyde and Robert Nethers and Theodore Saunders, who lived in Fredericksburg and could leave from and return there. Jim Lillard, a Rappahannock resident, also worked for Jenkins. “It was just a great thing to spend a day shopping,” Ruby Jenkins remembers. “And all of us went to school in Fredericksburg because we had an easy way to get there and back.” When Jenkins expanded, a newspaper article cited his exemplary service and business sense as the reason for his success: “Mr. Jenkins has shown a spirit of progressiveness that is exceedingly creditable, having developed from a horse-and-buggy mail carrier of only a few years ago into the ownership of one of the most important lines in Virginia. This has been accomplished by giving the public a square deal, being prompt and courteous to his patrons, looking always toward making them as comfortable as possible.” The account went on to say: “We wish Mr. Jenkins success, for we feel that he deserves it, and we believe that he will succeed, knowing that the public is always ready to encourage anyone who shows a willingness to give it a fair return for its money.” And the bus business did prosper. Mr. Jenkins bought all his vehicles from Dick Weaver Buick in Culpeper and his large, triple seated Buicks became a familiar sight along the highways. At one time he invested in a 30-passenger bus and had it on the road only a short time when faulty wiring caused the bus to catch fire while crossing the mountain between Rappahannock and Front Royal. “No one was hurt, but the bus was completely burned,” remembers Ruby Jenkins. He had a full load of passengers at the time, and a new bus was sent to carry them home. Among those on the bus were Anne Keysets mother, Mrs. Slaughter, and Mrs. Bartow Brown. The Jenkins bus service also aided those who were unable to do errands in person. The drivers would have a list of notes and pick up medicine, groceries and supplies for those on their list. When Virginia Trailways bought the line from Winchester to Fredericksburg, riders found it hard to adjust to the less personal service. “They’d stand on the road and wave, but the bus wouldn’t stop,” Ruby Jenkins said. The bus, of course, stopped only at selected locations. Later, the company abandoned the line but would not sell the franchise so that no one else could offer the service that meant so much to Rappahannock people of a half-century ago.

Va. For Rappahannock People, Travel Was Sometimes A Struggle When Roy Atkins started work with the Highway Department in July, 1948, there were not black topped secondary roads in the county at all. The “super highways” of that time, Routes 211, 522, and 231, were hard surfaced; the rest ranked as just wagon trails, judged by today’s standards. “Route 622, from the C!ash Store back up a mile or two into Harris Hollow, that was the first one we paved,” Atkins remembers. “Route 642 behind Hackley’s Store in Amissville was done that same year. “When I went with the state, there were several different sheds (maintenance headquarters) scattered over the county—one in Sperryville, one in Flint Hill and one on Route 729. Each had a crew boss. It was Carlton Atkins here in Sperryville, M. H. Bradey in Flint Hill and Frank Kinsey on 729.” Highway Department equipment had passed the mule and wagon stage in those days but was still a long way from modern mechanization. “Everything was loaded by hand,” Atkins remembers. “There was very little crushed rock used. What we got, we dug out of the creek beds—there was one between Five Forks and Rock Mills—where the waters had dropped and left the gravel in a pile. We used that for mud on dirt roads.” In the winter, when roads iced over, highway crews would mix a little sand with chemicals—by hand. Brush crews were out from July until cold weather in the fall, cutting back weeds and thickets from the shoulders of roads—again by hand. “That’s how I got my start with the state, with a brush crew,” Atkins said, adding that he was paid 55 cents an hour to wield a sickle. There were no front end loaders, no graders, no snow plows parked on the maintenance shed lot. The Sperryville crew relied on two surplus army trucks—the entire fleet of maintenance vehicles assigned to that end of the county. “The war was over then and the army was selling its old trucks to the state. That was it. That was what we had,” Atkins said, adding, however, that crews at Flint Hill and 729 had their own vehicles. Roy Atkins grew up in what is now Shenandoah National Park and he remembers when Route 211 was just a dirt road from Sperryville to Beech Springs. ‘The only traffic was horses and mules pulling buggies, wagons and slides. That and people walking. Later on, you’d see a car—a model T—every once in a while.” The slides, wooden flat beds set on runners, were used to haul corn and apples “and whatever else you had back then to move from one place to another,” Atkins said. There was a prison camp at Beech Springs, near Atkins’ boyhood home, home to the convicts and “gunmen” who built the first hard-sur face roads through the county. “They’d haul rock from the quarries on LurayMountain and across from Chipmunk Hollow—that’s where they got most of the stone. Then the prisoners would beat up the rock to a certain size, three or four inches. That was the base of the road,” Atkins recalled. “Then they’d pour tar over that.” The tar was heated in small kettles by wood fires in those days. But at the time Atkins began working for the state, crews had advanced to using kerosene burners to bring the tar to spreading temperature in 150 to 200 gallon pots. Relying on convict labor didn’t pose the problems that a similar arrangement would create now, according to Atkins. “Every once in a while, a prisoner would escape. But without roads and traffic, there was no way he could get too far. They never could stay away very long." Nobody traveled any great distance in a day over those first roads. Atkins re members his father starting out before dawn with a wagon load of extract wood for the tannery in Luray. “He’d leave one morning and stay over night, return the next day with a load of hay.” With travel so time consuming and arduous, a trip was never wasted. “He always had a load each way,” the Highway Department retiree said. Snow removal on those early roads was hit and miss. “It was mostly done by horses pulling drags. And there was a lot of shoveling if somebody needed to go anywhere,” he recalled. But despite all the inconveniences to travelers, those were the good ol’ days for Highway Department workers, at least from one angle. There were few complaints from road users back then, according to Roy Atkins. “It started about four or five, maybe ten years ago. There’s been more squawking 'bout road conditions since then than there ever was before,” he concluded, chuckling.

Hazel River Navigation Company Transported Goods From Rappahannock Mills In the middle of the nineteenth century Rappahannock businessmen had a dream of reaching larger ports of commerce by water. Their plan was consistent with efforts throughout the state to make rivers navigable by a system of canals. Dr. William E. Trout of the American Canal Society has made extensive study of Virginia canals and in doing so, unearthed some information on the Hazel River Canal Company, active in this area briefly in 1849 through 1854. The head of navigation, says Trout, was at Castle Mill, near Castle Mountain at Estes, about 21 miles from the Rappahannock River. Place names are at this time confusing, since Castle Mill was also known as Castleton or Gregory’s Mill and there was another mill less than a mile downstream known as Castle or Castleton Mill; and the headquarters of the Hazel River Navigation Company was in Thompsonville, now known as Castleton. The work on the Hazel was begun under the belief that improvements to the Rappahannock River would render that river navigable all the way to Fredericksburg and on to the Chesapeake Bay. The Hazel River Navigation Company was incorporated by an act of the Assembly during the 18501851 session. President of the company was George Ficklin of Ficklin’s Castle Mills, described by his contemporaries as “the most progressive man in Culpeper County, whose ideas and plans were 50 years in advance of his times.” As long as Ficklin was involved with the navigation scheme, plans proceeded rapidly. However, he began to have doubts as to the future of his project when work on the larger Rappahannock canal system seemed to bog down. John A. Byers, who had engineered the successful Chesapeake and Ohio canal, carried out the survey of the Hazel for 20 miles from Castle Mills down to its mouth on the Rappahannock, 38 water miles above Fredericksburg. Byers’ survey has never been found, reports Trout, but Ficklin made a sketch and submitted it to the Board of Public Works in 1850. From this sketch, most of the lock, dam and canal sites have been rediscovered. By early winter in 1850, Ficklin reported that 250 laborers were at work on all but one of the eight sites. At first it was difficult to find enough laborers in the sparsely-populated, agriculture-oriented community, but waves of Irish immigrants in this country due to the potato famine in Ireland followed American canal construction and Trout assumes that some of them eventually found their way into Ficklin’s crews. The 1850 census lists a number of Irish laborers living in the county, but at quite a distance from any of the construction sites. Ficklin was a good organizer and he was able to report, in 1851, “the improvement is so far ad vanced as to be used for the purpose of transporting crops of farmers to market, which has been accomplished in about twelve months from the organization of the company.” However, as Ficklin sadly noted, the work on the Rappahannock River was continuously plagued with financial difficulties and completion of the Hazel system would not be of much use to Rappahannock County businessmen if they could only transport their goods to the mouth of the Hazel. Soon the Hazel project also fell into hard times. A letter from the clerk to the Board of Public Works relayed this unfortunate news: “I have to state that on the day of the annual meeting the president died suddenly.” Ficklin’s death put the company into confusion for a while until it reassessed itself, obtained more money from the Board of Public Works, and elected a “On the day of the annual meeting the president died.” new president, William H. Browning. Then in April, 1852, there came a flood so severe that it changed the course of the river, leaving some of the canals high and dry. An engineer, looking at the brighter side, observed that the flood had been a great help in scouring out channels and removing earth. However, the canals, not matter how clean, were of no use without water and it was several years later that Browning was able to report that the last lock and dam (Continued on Page 9) the haz;l rivzr NAVIGATION ■.

By Boat, By Horse, By Bus and Early Automobile, People Traveled Progress brought many changes to Rappahannock but some chores were still accomplished by work animals. Conductinq his trash pick-up for the town of Washington in 1950 is Marshall Barbour. This picture was taken by a Ladies Home Journal photoqrapher who was in town to do a story on the all-woman town council in office then. Hazel River (Continued from Page 8) had been completed and there was only a very little bit of dredging and embankment remaining to put the whole canal in working order. The third blow to the Hazel River Navigation Company was its final one: completion of the Orange and Alexandria Railroad into Culpeper Courthouse in January, 1853, took away any remaining interest in navigation. The company didn’t even turn in an annual report for 1855 and in 1856 reported that “Our improvement may be considered abandoned, at least for the present.” And then later, in 1857: “The improvement is in a hopeless state of decay and dilapidation, and I see no prospect of it ever being repaired.” The reporter’s prediction came true, says Trout. Since 1850 the Hazel River Navigation Company had spent $105,000 to make 20 miles of river navigable for a couple of years with a total income from tolls of $681.42. Back country farmers gave up forever the dream of shipping their goods by river on down to the bay. “Our improvement may be considered abandoned.” O Courtesy Virginia Highway Dept Road crews in the early part of the century did most of their construction and repair with work animals and by hand. r Old Highways Were Maintained By Hand Of all changes brought about by increased mobility, the need for good highway construction and maintenance was perhaps the most immediate concern for local and state governments. A primitive transportation system did exist, accommodating horses, mules, and horse-drawn carriages, but early motorists spent much of their time mired in mud. A.L. Lillard of Flint Hill, who worked in highway maintenance in Rappahannock County until his promotion in 1951 took him to Loudoun County, remembers some of the old “corduroy” roads that were in existence when he started road work in the ’30’s. The roads, so named because they had the uneven texture of a piece of waled cloth, were built by placing small logs side by side along a cleared path and covering them with dirt for smoothness. “The trouble was,” Lillard remembered, “after a while they were just like washboards. We didn’t have equipment heavy enough to level them out so maintenance was just filling the ruts with more dirt.” “And I built many a bridge,” Lillard said. “We’d get logs from farmers who were just glad to have a bridge. We’d go in the mountains and get a lot of slim trees, build a crib on each side and fill it with rocks. Thpn we’d build a deck with logs leveled off with an ax. We’d drive spikes down to hold it and call it a bridge.” What to do if the river was too wide for the available logs? “We built a log pen in the middle of the river and filled it with rocks,” Lillard said. “Then we built each span to the pen. I tore up some of those old bridges in Prince William County not so very long ago. -They lasted longer than you’d think.” t* Improvements to the old construction and maintenance techniques still sound primitive today. Later, Lillard drove a modem truck with a crank-type windshield wiper. His “defroster” was a lantern that he strapped to the windshield, allowing a tiny peephole through which to see the unlit road. “And we got one pair of glass curtains every fall,” he said. “We were only allowed one set for the season. Of course, they’d shatter right away, but that was all we were allowed.” For snow removal there was a big crawler type tractor pulling a blade and teams of horses. The highway department didn’t maintain stables, though. “We hired them from farmers,” Lillard said. Before the snow removal system was well developed, folks along the roads maintained their own stretch of highway. “But lots of times the snow just lay there until it melted,” Lillard said. “Almost everyone still had horses and when it snowed, they just ■W" “That was the only way we had to do it in the old days. We did it all by hand.” rode their horses across the fields instead of using the roads.” Lillard remembers when Route 522 was extended from Massies’ Corner to Front Royal in the mid ’30’s. “It was going to bypass Flint Hill,” he said. “Well, a group of Flint Hill people got together and fought for the road to come through Flint Hill instead of by Wilton Branch near where Settle’s is now. "But then they found out that the road would be wider and they would lose all the big maples. Flint Hill used to have these huge maples along Main Street and they all had to come down. “In fact,” Lillard continued, “Part of the Bradford’s house had to be offset for the curb and gutter. If you look close you can see, the top story is the same as it was, but the first story is offset.” A lot of changes were made when Route 522 was improved in the thirties, mostly in the interest of straightening out curves. The road used to curve where the loop for the Huntly dump is now, Lillard said, and curved again across from the old school house. Rappahannock’s portion of the road at the top of the mountain was to go on straight to the Warren County line. When Warren County completed their portion, they followed the old alignment looping up through Chester Gap. Repairs to the pavement were done with a tar kettle heated with wood. ‘There was a spout on the back where the hot asphalt came out,” Lillard recalled. “That old hot asphalt was heated to 300 degrees and there were a lot of bums. No one was ever burned badly on one of my crews, but I’Ve seen some that were very badly burned. From time to time the kettle would catch on fire and we’d put it out by throwing dirt on it.” Lillard remembers cutting right-of-way: “The men would work all day in the hot sun. But then people were used to working like that all day. They’d put in culverts and drainage ditches by hand, too. But in the old days that was the only way you had to do it. It was all done by hand.” Notes On County Travel Oil Horses In 1910 the Rappahannock population of horses and mules was 3,270. These animals were used alone and hitched to buggies for virtually all travel needs. On The Jitney In 1910, the Rappahannock Jitney Bus Company was chartered. It was to have its main office in Washington, but nothing further is recorded about it. During the '20’s, there was a bus from Luray, through Sperry ville and Washington to Warrenton. In the ’30's, Aubrey Purdham of Luray drove his station wagon through Sperryville toward Warrenton ami returned after giving riders a chance to connect to Washington, D.C. and return. During this time also, Walker Jenkins provided bus service between Fredericksburg and Winchester twice daily (see separate article). On Railroads There were many attempts to interest a railroad line in crossing Rappahannock. Shortly before his death, Arthur Miller said that his father had told him many years before that the Piedmont Railroad Company had gotten quite far along in the planning stag**. Miller said that then* was some irregularity in a company official disappearing with money. He didn’t remember much of what his father had said, but he knew that the person suspected was a woman, not of this county. Miller said that, as best as he could rerpember from his father, a house in Washington had already been selected for a station. On Changes 1 he road between Massie’s Corner and Flint Hill is the part of Route 522 that differs the most from the old configuration. Flint Hill used to be served by the Richmond Road, Route 729. A connection between Massie’s Corner and Flint Hill went by what is now the Aileen Plant and ran into the hodderstaek Road about a mile west of Flint Hill. On Road Signs Before World War II, A.L. Lilian! reports, there were very few road signs. Safety was left in many cases to the discretion of the traveler. Lilian! believes that the one highway improvement that saved the most lives was the painting of the center line and sidelines on all of our highways. “Before that,” he said. “I’ve had to stop on Chester (lap because of the fog, just not being able to see where the road was." Courtesy Ruby Jenkins Before Skyline Drive was built, it was a topic of great interest to local landowners and businessmen. At right is a map of the proposed route and a caption explaining why the Virginia portion of the drive was delayed.

^ Rappahannock News Pho<o/M. May REV. DOUGLAS FARMER greets parishioners in Sperryville after they called him to be their new pastor. New Pastor Sings Thanks On a breezey, sunny Sunday noon. Rev. Douglas Fanner greated the people at Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church in Sperryville. Farmer has been the new pastor for about a month and he wanted to get everyone's name right. He asked their hobbies, the exact location of their homes and promised to come see each soon. Asked where his wife Anne was that morning, he answered, “She’s cooking for 25 little boys so she couldn’t get with me today.” . The Farmers operate Camp Shenandoah Springs, a Christian camp in Madison County for boys and girls ages 7-15. Farmer says it was a “longtime dream” of his to start such a camp because it was through Christian camping that he was called to the ministry at the age of 19 in the mountains of North Carolina. Later, as a quarterback during the ’50s for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, he says he reached the decision that “if the door ever opened, I would like to do two things: start a camp to teach young people and be called to be pastor of my own church.” Now with Camp Shenandoah Springs running smoothly and the congregations at Reynolds and F. T. Baptist Church at Slate Mills warmly receiving him, both of Rev. Farmer’s prayers have been answered. Feeling Brave? Try Strudel A recent long weekend enabled us to experiment with strudel, the pastry used in German and Eastern European cooking to wrap around vegetables, meats or sweets for dessert. The same flaky layered pastry doubles as phylloe dough, used in Greek dishes and most famous in the honey and nut dessert, Baklava. I wasn’t brave enough to attempt making the dough myself. It would be hard to improve upon the storebought, frozen strudel dough available here in Washington at Nature’s Foods, at Jimmie’s Market in Warrenton, and at some grocery stores in the freezer section. 1 was surprised, at finding the recipe for homemade strudel dough, that in spite of it’s buttery taste, the dough is basically flour and water, with an egg and a couple of teaspoons of vegetable oil added. For those who want to give it a try, here goes: Strudel Dough 4 cups all-purpose flour plus a little extra V2 teaspoon salt legg 2 tablespoons vegetable oij plus a little extra ■IVi to 1% cups luke* w&rm water Sift the flour and salt together into a bowl. Make a well in the center and put the egg and vegetable oil in it. Begin to work up to a soft dough by adding lukewarm Rappahannock _Kitchen water, between lVz and 1% cups. Turn the dough out onto a counter top or firm table and beat it a hundred times (to beat the dough means to pick it up and throw it down with force.) Then dust it lightly with flour and knead it until it has a smooth surface on the bottom. Place the dough on a lightly floured plate and brush all over the top with vegetable oil. Cover it with a large inverted bowl and let it stand 1 hour at room temperature. Then cover a table (preferably little larger than a card table) with a sheet. Sprinkle flour all over the top, putting a little more in the center than at the edges. Rub the flour into the sheet. After the strudel dough has stood an hour, put it in the center of the sheet and roll it out to about an 18-inch square. Brush the sauare with vegetable oil and begin to stretch it. First life the dough with the back of your hand to pull from the center out toward the edge of the table. Work like this all the way around the table little by little. Pull the dough out thin enough so you can read a newspaper through it. Cut the thick edges off with kitchen scissors. Let the thin sheet of dough dry on the table about 10 to 15 minutes (a little longer if the weather is damp), until it is somewhat like parchment. Whether you use your own pastry or bought pastry, the directions for Baklava proceed as follows: Baklava Divide the strudel dough into 6-8 layers. Brush all with melted butter, then start layering in a jelly roll pan. Use one cup finely chopped blanched almonds or pistachio nuts and build layers of dough and chopped nuts, ending with dough on top. Brush the top layer with melted butter and beaten egg, and bake the baklava for 35 to 40 minutes until golden brown. Chill. To serve, cut into serving pieces and pour 2 cups warm boney over all.

News From Castle ton By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock Newt Correspondent 917-4031 Doris Donald says “a flock of birthdays and a heap big celebration” took her to Tacoma Park last weekend to stay with her daughter and family (Mr. & Mrs. Stephen McCauley). Doris went Friday and came back Saturday night. Mary Neal went to Baltimore last week to visit her sister Pota Poulos, but she says the big trip was in May when she went to Greece. Mary says she likes to "go here and there.” Mr. and Mrs. Stevan Nikolajevic arrange for people from all corners of the world to come to Castleton. Last weekend they were entertaining Mr. and Mrs. William Todd and their three sons Patrick, Michael, and Christopher. The Todds are from Arlington, but recently bought 35 acres near Flint Hill and hope eventually to become fulltime Rappahannock residents and not just weekend at the Nikolajevics’ lake. Stevan says weekend before last was the real convention. Houseguests included the Todds as well as Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Bolstein and their son Eric, Mr. and Mrs. Jehan DeBar, and Mr. and Mrs. Albert Jambou. Bolstein is a Washington, D.C. attorney. DeBar and Jambou are with the French embassy. Houseguests at the Howard and Helen Holschuh residence last weekend included Doug Hackett from Annandale and Carol Andrews from the Philadelphia area. Tuesday Helen’s niece and nephew Jane and Wayne Miller and their children Scott and Sharon were due to arrive. Roy Lee and Martha Knighting entertained Millie and Jim Settle and their children Sarah, Robert, and James from Columbia, Pa. over the weekend. Martha says they all went up to Skyline Drive to sightsee. She says she enjoyed it, too, because she hadn’t seen all that marvelous mountain scenery since Debbie and Alan were little—and you know how long that is, now that Alan’s a daddy and Roy Lee and Martha have become grandparents. Little Brandy was staying with her other grandma Sunday afternoon, Judy Hitt. Mitch and Judy Hitt went to Arlington yesterday to spend two days with her mother, Helene Willemse. Then Friday night, they will drive to Washington International Airport to meet Kerrie Pederson’s plane. The weary traveler has been visiting family in Florida for three weeks and longs to be reunited with Cstleton friends. Say, wasn’t that our old friend Dave Konick at the Chester Gap fire and rescue carnival Friday night? We know he’s been active with both the ' Castleton and Washington volunteer fire departments since 1979, but what was he doing at Chester Gap? Well, it seems he volunteered to sit over the dunk tank; and by ten o’clock he was sopping. His hair dripping in his eyes. Then they recruited him to cook burgers and wait the counter at the concession stand with Hubie. We suppose he just eryoys getting out and meeting people. The most permanent guests at the Ray and Ruby Cannon home aren’t people; they’re a family of foxes. Ray succeeded in getting them to pose for the sweetest portraits and stopped by the Rappahannock News to share them with all of us. James and Louise Grigsby are brushing up on their life-saving skills as they prepare to become summer teachers. On August 16th the first class will be held at the Castleton fire hall. People interested in learning CPR (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation) should call James to pre-register. That’s so the squad can order enough textbooks. The books are a gift from Pipsy Bischoff, as a memorial for Carl. How about that Castleton rescue squad? Up at five in the morning on Monday to carry Peggy Woodward from Fauquier Hospital to Mary Washington in Fredericksburg for tests. Sometimes we forget they do it all for free. All together, the rescue squads around Rappahannock are some of the finest neighbors and most dedicated volunteers around. And at carnival time, they make it fhn for us to help them help us. You may have noticed in another part of the paper that our Castleton correspondent has been promoted to a fulltime staff writer position at the Rappahannock News. But Aunt Michele will not abandon her Castleton friends. She will continue the dubious practice of telephoning total strangers to ask them what they did over the weekend. For, as Aunt Michele has recently learned, “They don’t stay strangers for long.” REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Ross W. Staley and wife to Jonathan P. Lee and wife, 5.9757 acres, Wakefield District. $26,500.

Rappanannock Journal •Farm •Business •Garden •Rural Life New Faces at News Recent staff changes at the Rappahannock News have brought new faces to workday Washington. Assuming the duties of advertising representative this week is Jeanne Harrison, a “transplanted native.” Harrison grew up in Rappahannock County, then moved to the Washington, D.C. suburbs, where she says she missed the clean air, the mountains and the quiet life. Mrs. Harrison was previously employed as a claims analyst for the National Association of Letter Carriers health benefits plan in Heston from l!l7(i-7!h Since then, she has lived in Sperryville with her husband, William, and their daughter, Anna, who will be four in September. Mrs. Harrison will work with Rappahannock News advertisers and says she sees her new job as a challenge because she “would like to see the paper grow.” She says part of that grow th will depend on her ability to provide good service for the newspapers advertisers.

Replacing staff writer Theresa Reynolds is Michele May, Amissville. May was previously news director at WWWK in Warrenton and WCVA in Culpeper. She also wrote news at WFLS in Fredericksburg and commercials at WKCW in Warrenton. May is looking forward to trading in the microphone for a camera and learning the new skills required for her new job. Part of her print background includes publication in a variety of magazines ranging from Virginia Wildlife to Savvy. One of hbr articles appearing in Dramatics Magazine won 4th place out of bis entries in last. year’s Writer's Digest nonfiction competition.

Still, he admitted that the livestock auction is a sad time for many. Rappahannock 4-H members showing sheep during the five day farm show included (in order of rank): Michael Owings, Matthew Owings, Laura Adams, Sussanah McNear, Jennifer McNear, Charlotte Magee, April Adams, Will Adams, and Matthew Eidson. High on the Hog Prices Nathan Burke, a fifth grade student at Rappahannock Elementary School, was the local star in the swine show. Nathan won first place in junior showmanship and the championship plaque in junior fitting and showing with his 220 pound hog Darth Vader. (Last year Burke placed fourth in class hogs.) Amanda Magee, Irvin Starks, and Timmy Falls all placed third in their weight divisions. Amanda also placed fifth with another 210 pound hog. Joyce Starks placed sixth with her 215 pound hog. Also exhibiting from Rappahannock were Dawn Burke, David Beck, and Mitch Burke. Prices for Rappahannock hogs ranged from 85 cents a pound to $1.15. The high price was bid by Roger Roach from Pignut Mt. Enterprises for a 225 pound hog shown by Irvin Starks. Current market price is approximatey 45 cents. The grand champion hog, shown by Stoney Frye of Sperryville, was bought by Cherry Street Building Supply in Culpeper for $1.35 per pound. Auctioneers at Monday’s livestock show urged the crowd on in its bidding, repeating the opinion of the judges that this year’s Culpeper - Madison - Rappahannock farm show included the strongest swine line-up ever judged in the state. —Rappahannock News Photo/M.

Propagating Trees And Shrubs From Cuttings By DIANE RELF Virginia Tech Extension Home Horticulturist Many of the trees and shrubs popular in the home landscape can be started from cuttings during July and August. With most varieties, it is not difficult to BEFORE AFTER n n H Hegisierea U S Patent OH ice Altar cmtly Irutimnt fillad. this ikln dltuu mi Mlmd Incuribli.

But be warned that it may take three to five years before they reach the size you see in the nursery. If you are equipped with a large supply of patience, propagating your landscape plants can be challenging and fun. Start with a container for your cuttings. I prefer a coldframe in a semi-shady location. For fewer cuttings, however, a “forsythia pot” works well. It is made of two clay pots, one about two inches in diameter, the other from six to eight inches. The rooting medium is placed in the larger pot. The drain hole ofi the smaller pot is plugged before it is set in the larger one, with the top edges level and the rooting medium surrounding it. The small pot is filled with water that seeps into the rooting medium where the cuttings have been inserted. This can be enclosed in a plastic bag to keep humidity at a high level and insures faster rooting. The most common rooting medium is washed builder’s sand. Other materials include peat moss, mixtures of equal parts peat and sand, vermiculite or perlite. The exact medium is not important as long as it is aerated, drains well and yet holds adequate moisture for the cuttings. Depending on the plant involved, cuttings taken at this time of the year may be semi-hardwood or softwood cuttings. Softwood cuttings are taken from new growth that still is relatively soft and succulent and before the tissue has matured or become woody. You can tell if the plant is in condition for rooting by trying to snap off a three to six inch tip. If it breaks, it is ready. But tips Foreign & American Car Repairs , Specializing in German & Japanese Made Cars • i Jack’s Service Center -30 Ashby Street Warrenton 347-3785 which bend instead of breaking are too soft and may deteriorate before rooting. Those which are too woody may be slow to root. Semi-hardwood or green wood cuttings differ from softwood cuttings only in the maturity of the wood. For deciduous plants that root better from semi-hardwood cuttings, the cuttings are taken later in the season when the lower portion of the stem has become lignified or partially mature. Cuttings from evergreens generally are obtained from new shoots, five to ten weeks after a flush of growth when the wood is partially mature. Make softwood cuttings three to six inches long. Strip the lower leaves before inserting the cuttings into the rooting medium. Space cuttings so the leaves just touch each other, don’t overcrowd. In general, softwood cuttings root most quickly in a warm, humid atmosphere. Among the landscape plants that root well as sqljwobcK cuttings are abelia, buddleia, roses. Many houseplants and perennials also are propagated as softwood cuttings, including chrysanthemum, heather, hydrangea, sedums, and philodendron. To root broadleafed evergreens such as azaleas and holly, take cuttings six to eight inches long. Remove leaves or small branches from the base of the cutting and insert in rooting mediums. Broadleafed evergreens are easily rooted in a cold frame with a glass or plastic cover to increase humidity. They will root more rapidly if provided with bottom heat, such as would be supplied with an electric heating cable. You can take cuttings from the following broadleafed evergreens: boxwood, holly, mahonia, mountain laurel, pyracantha and rhododendron. The following conifers can be propagated in the same fashion: arborvitae, chamaecyparis, cryptomeria, juniper and taxus. In any propagation, you must keep the rooting medium moist at all times. Do not allow it to dry out. But do not overwater and keep it soaking wet as this will be equally damaging. You can stimulate and hasten rooting of most cuttings, especially the more mature wood, with root-inducing powders available at most garden supply stores. After the cuttings have rooted, they can be planted outdoors. I generally leave those cuttings started in coldframes in the protected location through the winter and transplant them into a growing area the next spring.
