VIRGINIA Phone 675-3349 25* MCI Files For Relay Tower On Bessie Belle Mountain By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock N*w« Staff Writer After learning that MCI Telecommunications Corporation has filed for a special use permit to put a 200 to 250 foot tower on Bessie Belle Mountain, the Rappahannock planning commissioners agreed on Wednesday to exercise their right to advise the board of zoning appeals. Although the zoning ordinance provides for the planning group to make recommendations to the BZA (which will hear MCI’s permit request), the planners have never before availed themselves of that option. In addition to applying for a special use permit, MCI is also asking the zoning board to determine whether the proposed tower site is in an agricultural or conservation district. Zoning administrator David Konick reported that the Telecommunications company has contracted to buy 33.4 acres of a 132 acre tract on Bessie Belle Mountain near Woodville from Gary Hinds. The company proposes to erect a microwave relay tower, a link in MCI’s Richmond to Winchester route, on the site. What Is The Zoning? Under Rappahannock’s current ordinances, zoning on a piece of property is determined by slope. “When you’re dealing with mountainous terrain and you have What To Do With Waste? Public hearings will be held on September 15th at 1 p.m. in the Manassas Courthouse Annex and at 7 p.m. at the Charlottesville City Council chambers to receive comment on hazardous waste disposal in Virginia. These are the two nearest of nine such public hearings set statewide. Solid Waste Commission executive director Barbara Wrenn says the commission has been reviewing hazardous waste disposal procedures in other states for approximate / 1V-* years in order to form recommendations for the General Assembly. A January deadline is set for the report. Wrenn says the commission’s proposal — and the topic of the September public hearings — will be to create a state siting board. This board, consisting of representatives from both environmental and manufacturing interests, would select the best site in the state to construct a waste disposal facility. The board would study any potential impacts on the community, receive public comments and act as a mediator between the local government and the con iraaui. Wrenn added that “the hard part is that the state can over-ride the landowners.” She says everyone wants a disposal site in the state, but not in their backyard. According to Wrenn, environmentalists would like a site where they could monitor it; manufacturers want one nearby because it costs so much to store and ship wastes. According to solid waste commission statistics, more than 110,000 tons of hazardous waste are generated annually in Virginia as a result of various industrial processes. (They do not include any radioactive wastes.) Since no commercial facilities exist in Virginia to dispose of these chemicals, they must be stored until enough accumulate for an out-of-state shipment. (Continued on Page 2) a parcel of land at or very near the top of the mountain, is it zoned conservation or agriculture?” Koniek asked. “The top may be less than 14 percent slope (putting it in the agricultural But even if the proposed tower site is determined to be in an agricultural zone, the zoning administrator questioned whether the tower would classify as a public utility. “This is pri “There's no question. The predominant character of Bessie Bell Mountain, top or bottom, is conservation.”—Planning Commissioner David Fannon category) but the majority of the tract is obviously going to be on the sides of the mountain (with slopes over 14 percent and thus zoned conservation).” In an agricultural zone, public utilities are specifically listed as allowed by special use permit. In considering a permit application for an agricultural zone, the ordinance directs the BZA to consider (1) whether the proposed use will be hazardous or in conflict with the predominant character of the neighborhood, (2) whether it will adversely affect the health and safety of persons residing or working in the neighborhood, (3) whether it will be detrimental to public welfare or property and improvements, (4) whether it will be in accord with the zoning ordinance and Rappahannock’s comprehensive plan. vate,” he maintained, referring to the telecommunications corporation. Stricter Criteria If the zoning board finds that the top of Bessie Belle Mountain is in a conservation zone, then MCI’s tower may still be allowed by special permit but it will have to be judged against more stringent criteria, Konick continued. The zoning ordinance specifies eight uses by right in a conservation zone — pasture, orchards, conservation and preserves, forestry, recreation, single family residence and accessory buildings, family graveyards and home occupations (except schools). All other land uses are by special permit granted by the BZA persuant to an on-site inspection.

Is it 45 degrees or 90 degrees?” Konick asked the planners. “I don’t know the answer but it’s very important in this case,” he said, adding that he’d argued that particular point with MCI’s attorney, James W. Fletcher, without the two being able to reach an agreement. Commissioner Werner Krebser recalled the application for subdivision approval made several years ago by C.L. Goode. In that instance, the planners and the supervisors held the developer to strict adherence with the ordinance, requiring that he have five full acres under 14 percent slope in each lot of his Flint Hill subdivision. Applying that to the MCI case, Krebser maintained that the entire tract on Bessie Belle—not just a portion on the top of the mountain—would have to be under 14 percent slope in order to qualify for agricultural zoning.

Foster wants to subdivide six acres from the Gentry tract in Flint Hill. The lot has only a 50 foot rightof-way to a state road, far short of the 250 feet of road frontage called for by the ordinance. Even assuming that the property owner, W.A. Gentry, would grant the necessary right-of-way for a road to be built to state specifications, it would not meet ordinance criteria since the Highway Department will not accept a road from state maintenance un less it serves three houses, Foster acknowledged. “The beginning of this starts quite a bit before Mr. Foster,” Zoning Administrator David Konick, told the planning commissioners last Wednesday, relating the history of the application for a subdivision variance. He recalled that a man came into his office a year ago, described the property and asked if a portion could be divided. “The Gentry property was originally 100 acres. Mr. Gentry has made numerous divisions off of it over the years. . . Two lots were cut out prior to 197:1 (when the current zoning and subdivision ordinances were enacted) and there’s been a whole series since to the point now that the only road frontage left is right in front of the rock quarry (which is zoned industrial). There are lots all around the fringe of the property. It’s land-locked except for a 20 foot right-of-way and the quarry frontage,” Konick said. If the supervisors approve the requested six acre lot subdivision, what’s left will be the 11 acres leased for the quarry to Culpeper Stone, according to the zoning administrator. He added, however, that no written verification has been presented showing the size of the residue parcel that will be created if the subdivision is approved. “That’s just what I’ve been told,” Konick said. He told the planners that he had advised the first in County Considers Asking For Drought Declaration By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock News Staff Writer Four local agricultural experts will meet tomorrow to try to determine the extent of damage the dry weather has done to crops in Rappahannock. Tom Taylor, manager of the local Agriculture Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS), says he will meet with Rappahannock — Photo Courtesy of Mrs Frank Brown CARVED OUT OF THE MOUNTAINS in the 1930s. — Mrs. Frank Brown and her mother viewed the progress of construction on the Skyline Drive. The drive is now getting its first major rehabilitation. extension agent Birgitt Thornhill; Richard Latham, chairman of the hoard of su[>ervisors; and Lou Walters Rappahannock/Culpeper representative of the Soil Conservation Service (SCS). Taylor says there are many opinions on whether the current situation constitutes a drought and that it shouldn’t be up to any one person to make that deci sion. However, Taylor says that when he, Thornhill, Latham, and Walters sit down together as agricultural professionals, they will lx* able to discuss the exact situation, then determine what steps to take and how. A similar meeting in Fauquier earlier this month between Taylor and representatives from the (Continued on Page 2) quirer that “what he wanted to divide didn’t have road frontage.” Then, two to three weeks later, Major Cowgill “asked the very same question and I gave him the very same answer,” Konick said. “That he couldn’t divide the lot because it didn’t have road frontage.” According to the zoning administrator, Cowgill didn’t understand, went ahead and had the lot surveyed and submitted a plat for approval. “I repeated that he couldn’t subdivide without an exception from the board of supervisors. . . Next, Mr. Foster came in with the same request.” As a solution, Konick reported that he’d suggested asking Gentry to dedicate the quarry road to the state. “But it’s academic how much he dedicates because the state won’t except it into the state system since it doesn’t serve three lots. And it won't ever serve three lots,” KonieL added, pointing out that the residue is zoned industrial. The only way the six acres can be built on is by exception from the supervisors, he said, recommending that the planners endorse the exception with the provision that Gentry post bond for road maintenance. “How big is the residue?” asked Charles Estes, the board of supervisors’ representative on the planning commission. "I'm told it’s Id acres but I can’t determine for sure from the map,” Konick answered.

Work started on June 1 at the north entrance to the Matthews Arm campground and from there the crews have repaired and realigned the drainage pipes. In mid-August the construction company began to remove the rock guardrails. They will be dismantled and then rebuilt with fresh concrete and a reinforced concrete core, according to Loftis. He added that the walls will be higher after the project, but will retain the same general appearance. No paving has started yet on the project which is expected to take about a year. While the repairs have been an occasional inconvenience to this year’s travelers, Loftis says the project should be finished at the start of next year’s season. The scenic drive provides some two million visitors each year to Shenandoah National Park with spectacular views of the Blue Ridge of the Appalachian Mountains. Superintendent Robert R. Jacobsen says the roadway, completed in 1939, is simply showing its age. “We expect this year’s work to be the first of several to bring the road back up to standard,” he said. The contract for this year’s construction work was awarded to M.A. Layman and Sons, Inc. of Harrisonburg, Va., for $3,616,342.50. The Layman company was the low bidder among seven firms, f unds for the rehabilitation were authorized by the Highway Improvement Act of 1982 from the Highway Trust Fund for park roads, parkways and bridge repairs and construction. Repairs to the Skyline Drive will focus on rebuilding drainage systems that carry mountain water runoff beneath the roadway. Deteriorated chestnut cribbing and rusted drainage pipes w ill be replaced at a number of locations between Skyland and Big Meadows, a ten-mile section of the Drive that is most used by park visitors.

Subdivision Exception (Continued from Page 1 ' “How is it taxed?” Estes asked. "I can’t tell from the map. . . The map shows about half of the 125 acre Gentry tract as industrial but the map hasn't been updated to show subsequent land divisions," the zoning administrator said. Near Blasting Site "There are too many unknown factors in this thing. We don’t know what the residue is." Estes said. He also pointed out that Foster's proposed lot is 50 to 100 yards from the rock face that is the quarry's blasting site. “You want to build a house back in there?” commissioner David f annon asked. “Yea, there’s nothing wrong with the property." Foster replied. Planning Commissioner Werner Krebser voiced support for approval of the exception sought by Foster. "If he builds a house, we won’t have a quarry there anymore. . . They can’t blast that close when they're going to be held totally responsible for any damages." “There's a house already built that's closer than my house will be,” Foster interjected, maintaining that his proposed residence will be further than 100 yards from the blasting area. "If you try to build there, chances are that the quarrymay take legal action to stop you," Fannon cautioned. "It's not so much the blasting. It's the dust from the blasting." said Krebser, a doctor who runs a familypractice at the Rappahannock Medical Center. “The dust is incredible. I’d hate to see you get hurt,” he added to Foster. Violates Zoning haw Commissioner Fannon maintained that it would be "almost impossible" to recommend to the supervisors that Foster’s request be approved because the subdivision he’s seeking violates the county's zoning laws. “The only way it can be allowed is through a change in the zoning ordinance (to permit smaller lots on private roads) and that would open a whole can of worms,” cautioned chairman A.Y. Stokes. $10,000 Hardship "I can buy land across the road (from the quarry site) at $20,000 to $25,000 and 1 can buy this for $15,000 so you're putting a hardship on me for $10,000,” Foster said. "I was born and raised in Rappahannock County. I like Rappahannock but if I have to live in Warren County, I will. It's that simple."

McNear (the former zoning administrator) approved them,” Konick replied. “It’s not up to the zoning administrator to walk around behind Mr. Gentry as his guardian angel saying, Don’t do this or you’ll be landlocked,’ ” stated Estes. "He landlocked himself. He did it to himself,” Estes said, maintaining that the property owner did not qualify for an exception on the grounds of hardship. “I feel like it’s a good case for an exception,” Konick countered. “Even with 250 feet of frontage, the state’s still not going to take the road into the state system,” action necessary for the proposed lot to comply with Rappahannock’s subdivision ordinance. The planning commissioners agreed to table Foster’s request until the applicant provides information on (1) the size parcel that will be left if his six acre subdivision is approved and (2) how many divisions have been made to date from the Gentry tract. "But the main issue is still the exception to the road requirement,” Konick repeated. In other business, the planning commissioners: —recommended approval of a zoning ordinance amendment that would allow medical and dental trailers on government-owned nronertv. —received copies of the first half of the updated zoning ordinance and heard from professional planner Dick McNear that the final installment will be ready in two weeks, —agreed to send representatives to a meeting September 1 at Graves Mountain Lodge sponsored by Piedmont Environmental Council.

The proposed towers will be links in MCI’s Richmond to Winchester route; the company’s long distance telephone service will not be available to either Rappahannock or Culpeper customers. In a telephone interview last Thursday, Charlie Carter, Culpeper’s professional planner, confirmed that the relay towers may interfere with television reception by satellite dish. “The closer you get into the mountains, the more you’ve got to consider that because you’re never going to get cable. You people are going to have to rely on satellite dishes,” he said. “Rappahannock is very mountainous. You have a lot of potential sites (for microwave relay towers).” According to Carter, satellite communication uses a very high frequency on the microwave band. “These repeater towers are on a frequency wave that is contained within the larger band you could use to communicate with satellites,” he explained. He added that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) grants licenses for microwave communication on a first-come, first-served basis. “Once a band is filled up, the FCC won’t issue any more licenses for that band,” Carter said. “The aspect we’re looking at here (in Culpeper) is the potential for interference and for tying up the frequency bands. The air here is very clean, microwavewise,” he said. “We don’t want a telecommunications system not to be able to locate here because the air waves are full!” The proposed site for MCI’s Culpeper tower lies in an agricultural and forestal district. Accordingly, the planning commission there asked the AFD advisory committee for its recommendation. The committee concluded that MCI’s proposed land use is incompatible in an ag district, Carter reported, adding that the telecommunications company has requested its application be tabled for 30 days while alternative tower locations outside of an agricultural and forestal district are investigated. Reportedly, MCI’s field representative Bob McGinnis has stated that the company needs both links— the towers in Culpeper and Rappahannock—for its Richmond to Winchester route. *; ; £ MCI Files For Tower Continued from Page 1 “I thought we had recommended that they put the tower at Chester Gap (where similar structures are already located),” said Charles Estes, Piedmont District supervisor who represents the county’s governing body on the BZA. “We don’t want it on Bessie Belle or any other mountain!” No Question “There is no question. The predominant character of Bessie Belle Mountain, top or bottom, is conservation,” said Commissioner David Fannon, addressing the zoning question. Dick McNear, Fauquier’s professional planner who has been working with Rappahannock’s planning commissioners for the past year on review and revision of the county’s zoning ordinance, had the answer to one of Kbnick’s questions. “100 percent Mope is straight up. Change that to degrees and it’s 90 degrees,” he explained. Konick said he had informed MCI’s representatives that they would need to bring documentation showing slope to the BZA hearing for the special use permit application. McNear added that according to Charlie Carter, planner for Culpeper County where a similar microwave relay is being sought by MCI, the tower will have an impact on property values because it can interfere with television reception by satellite dish. “There’s really no chance that cable will ever come to Rappahannock County (so residents who want the type of television programming offered by cable) will have to rely on satellite reception,” McNear said. “This could mess it up,” he said, advis ing the planning commissioners to investigate the interference issue further. The Commissioners agreed by consensus that they wanted to make a recommendation to the BZA on MCI’s permit application. James Swindler, the BZA’s representative to the planning commission, reported that the zoning board probably won’t vote on MCI’s special use permit application at its September 7 public hearing but would delay action until its next session. “So you have plenty of time to make a recommendation,” he advised. In response, the planners opted to table the recommendation. The commissioners set a special work session to review proposed changes to the zoning ordinance for Wednesday, August 24. The planning commission’s next regular meeting is September 21.

We have Growing Up Divorced, Linda Bird Francke’s guide to helping children, infants through Drought Declaration Discussed (Continued from Page 1) ASCS, SCS, and the Fauquier board of supervisors resulted in that board sending a letter to the governor requesting a drought declaration and emergency status. When disaster status is achieved, farmers become eligible for forms of financial aid such as low interest loans from the Farmers Home Administration (FHA) or the small business administration. They also receive discounts on feed for livestock. “Some farmers may say ‘You’re crazy; we know it’s a drought; we’re wiped out,’ ” Taylor said of the necessity of meeting to discuss whether Rappahannock is currently being dried by a genuine drought. But definitions range from financial loss to scientific measures of soil moisture. And disaster declaration is a political process done by the governor or the president. Meanwhile, the U. S. Department of Agriculture has decided that Rappahannock is definitely suffering from drought. Rappahannock was among 21 Virginia counties listed as eligible for livestock grazing on conservation use acreage. farmers enrolled in the Payment in Kind (PIK) program may graze their own livestock on land they set aside as conservation use acreage. But they must notify the local ASCS office of their intention to participate in the grazing. Earlier this month, the Virginia Department of Agriculture issued a plea for financial institutions to cooperate with farmers struggling to meet their obligations on loan schedules. Commissioner S. Mason Carbaugh pointed out that farmers who were just beginning to recover from the 1980 drought and continuous low prices will now face new economic hardship and tough decisions if the hot, dry weather continues. State statistics show that rain has varied from ten percent below normal in the southwest part of the state to 80 percent below normal in the east. Cash grain in the Building? t Paint • Lumber • Millwork • Hardware Complete One-Step BUILDING SUPPLY Warrenton Building Material Co., Inc. on the By-Pass, Warrenton 347-1400 eastern part of the state seems to be suffering most severely. Peaches are also suffering some moisture stress and although the quality is reported good, the sizing of the fruit is slowed. There were good yields of hay early in the year, but pasture condition is now reported relatively poor and supplemental feeding of hay is becoming more common, especially in the Piedmont area, according to Carbaugh. State officals added that the weather is said to have caused a ten percent loss in tobacco yields this year. Peanuts remained in good condition at mid-August, but adequate rainfall through August and September would be needed to produce near normal yields. Some areas of the state are reporting a 50-to-60 percent loss in corn due weather caused stress at a critical grain development stage. One of the frustrating aspects of this year’s weather has been the unreliable source of precipitation— thunderstorms. Continuous hot weather causes electrical storms when it does rain because of sudden teamperature changes in the clouds. Rain from thunderstorms is spotty. It may drench one area and bypass another a mile away. It may storm for several hours over one acre and end up by dropping less than two inches of rain. Sperryville weather watcher Dennis Wingfield says precipitation in his area totaled 2.91 inches during the 18 days of August, compared to 3.68 inches by that time last year. So, despite the occasional brief thunderstorms, that part of the county at least is .77 inches behind last year’s level of rainfall. Wingfield added that the overall temperature^ in August were five degrees warmer than last year based on his figures for the first 18 days. Carbaugh says this year’s potato crop along the eastern shore is an especially good example of what spotty weather conditions can do to agriculture. Cool, wet weather delayed planting in the spring while hot, dry w eather during the summer cut expected yields by 50 percent. With similar conditions persisting in Rappahannock County, farmers and gardeners can only wait to see what the political and climatological future will bring.

General District Court Traffic Scarey To Slow Tractor Driver i rainc cases dominated Judge John Alexander’s docket in general district court on August 16. Witnesses and exhibits were presented in the case of the slow tractor. Jens Ulrich Tholand of Sperryville was charged with making an improper turn in connection with a June 23 accident on Route 231 near Piedmont Farms. Tholand was pulling his tractor onto the driveway at his farm when he was struck by a Datsun truck. The truck driver testified that he had pulled out to pass the tractor which he said was traveling about 20 miles per hour; just as he pulled adjacent to the tractor, it veered into the passing lane. Tholand testified that he didn’t use his turn signal because he saw no traffic behind him. He said he checked the rear view mirror several times before starting the turn, adding that he drives defensively because “it gets pretty scarey” to be on a slow moving vehicle when big tractortrailers can come roaring up Route 231. Tholand’s lawyer presented photos from the scene of the accident in an attempt to show that the Datsun "must have been traveling at an incredible rate of speed” for Tholand not to have seen it before the accident. The lawyer maintained that no turn signal was needed since Tholand believed there were no other cars on the highway that would be affected by his turn. Commonwealth attorney Douglas Baumgardner invoked the old saying that a picture is worth a thousand words. The photos showed, according to Baumgardner, that the Datsun was traveling at about 55 miles per hour for it to have been adjacent to the tractor when it pulled into the passing lane and then at the front of the tractor wheels at the moment of impact. Judge Alexander agreed and assessed Tholand $25 plus $20 costs for making an improper turn. To prove the guilty driver was the object of testimony in another accident case. Thomas Kindall said he was driving home through Gid Brown Hollow on August 5 when the driver of a black Chevy ran him off the road, then sped away. Kindall identified the driver as Gregory Allen Pullen, an area resident. Police responding to the accident found the Kindall vehicle in a ditch with damage to the front wheel. There was no other driver on the scene nor any witnesses. Kindall swore out a warrent for Pullen’s arrest, but Pullen denied being in the area at the time of the accident. In court, Pullen testified that he had been in Culpeper that evening, but wasn’t able to establish his whereabouts at the exact time of the accident. He was found guilty of reckless driving and fined $50 plus $20 court costs. The following fines were assessed in other cases heard that day: Raymond Clyde Leake, Jeffersonton, 73/55, $36/$20.

Originally constructed as dry walls, they will bo rebuilt with a concrete core Crusade Donations Come Back As Services A 19K3 fund drive conducted by the Rappahannock chapter of the American Cancer Society was a huge success, according to publicity chairman Jule Konick. The unit’s fair share goal was set this year at $3,300; volunteers going door-todoor across the county collected $4,325. “We want to thank everyone who gave of their services, time and talents in April’s Crusade. And the county unit extends a very special thanks to all the generous and caring residents of Rappahannock who donated the money that put us far ahead of our goal,” Konick said. A large chunk of those contributions comes back to the donors in way of services provided here for cancer patients and their families and the community at large, she noted. The Rappahannock unit will provide money to defray the cost of transportation to and from treatment centers for cancer patients. Limit is $125 per person per year. If the treatment center is over 100 miles away one way, the limit is raised to $225 annually. (Also included in the transportation figure is $40 for pain relieving drugs.) To date for this fiscal year, $219.50 has been distributed by the unit to help Rappahannock residents who have been stliken by cancer, Konick reported. Also for local cancer patients, the unit maintains a loan closet in Flint Hill operated by Dolly Riddle and Kim Novak. Available free of charge are hospital beds, guard rails for beds, wheelchairs, portable walkers, leg braces and many other items. Through the district office in Winchester, ostomy supplies can also be obtained. Equipment for cancer patients can be delivered if pick-up is impossible, Konick said. The local Cancer Society’s “reach to recovery” program offers assistance to mastectomy patients.

En route to Japan, the plane stopped in Honolulu and we were asked to go into the airport for a ‘rest’. Here I had my first real conversation with a Japanese. It was my first, and proved to be my last, for many days. I am discovering tliat the amazing friendliness and kindliness of the Japanese does not imply a readiness for meaningful encounter.

Day realtor TRAFFIC PATTERNS When considering the purchase of a home, you naturally check it out carefully. You look at the construction, rooms, storage space, bathrooms, special features, etc. But there’s something else to consider— something you can’t actually see, but nevertheless is of prime importance when and if you buy and move in. It’s the matter of traffic patterns. This is related not only to the placement of the rooms and hallways, but also to the amount and kinds of furniture you own. Try to visualize the traffic patterns when inspecting a home. It may even be a good idea to make a rough sketch. You don’t want to be stumbling over a sectional sofa when going from the front door to the living room! Visualizing traffic patterns involves common sense. Just remember, you should be able to get around in your home as smoothly as possible and with a minimum of interference. Bedrooms and recreation areas should also be taken into account as well as the “main” rooms — kitchen, living, dining, etc. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M.

Those who have at least some English facility seem to lose it rapidly the moment the conversation threatens to veer towards serious issues, meanings, feelings. My host in Northern Honshu constantly plagues me with questions like: —Is Philadelphia bigger than Miami? —What is the capitol of Virginia? (pronounced whieuginia). —What is the biggest city in Virginia? Today he ventured more deeply: —Who collects garbage in America? With him, at one time or another, during my three weeks with his family, I have tried: —Are you a Buddhist? Hmm. That’s difficult. I don’t think so. —Do you think Reagan is good for the U.S. and the world? I don’t know. I am not for him and I am not against him. —Do your neighbors want Reagan to run again?” I don’t know. Maybe. I think so. I have tried reaching for safer ground: —What is the meaning of the tea ceremony? No meaning. —I mean, why is it done? Old J apanese custom. Yesterday a local tea house put on the tea ceremony for my benefit. An elderly gentleman sat next to me and guided me through it in relatively creditable English. Afterwards we talked. “Does the tea ceremony have a religious significance?” “No. No significance” BURKE’S STORE Woodville, VA. 987-8814 Specials Thursday, Friday, Saturday Bounty Jumbo Towels.79* Kleenex Tissues 200 count.79* Tropicana Orange Juice v,gn,.’1.69 Kraft Macaroni & Cheese vu oz..2 for 79* Kraft Barbeque Sauce it«. 89* Generic Grape Jelly 32 oz.89* Jif Peanut Butter Crunchy & Smooth, 18 oz..*1.69 Chef Boy-Ar-Dee Spaghetti & Meatballs <o oz.*1.89 Flex Balsam Shampoo isoz..*1.99 Flex Balsam Rinse & Conditioner i6oz-.-.-‘1.99 Adorn Hair Spray ew...—*1.59 RC Cola n6 ol ™t.—---‘1.19 PRODUCE Cauliflower hMd.—.—1.29 Bananas 3 it*.__‘1.00 Lemons.9 for 1.00 FRESH MEAT COUNTER Choice Trim Beef Short Ribs in_1.89 “Could you tell me something about the tea ceremony?” “Mm.

I had already seen one in Tokyo. “Why,” I asked him, “do the people clap their hands before they pray?” “Old Japanese custom.” I had asked “Bill”, the Japanese owner of my Tokyo Minshuku ( a private home that takes paying guests) the same question. He found it irritating. “That’s just what we do. That’s all. It’s a Japanese custom. You have customs. Why do you wear a cross? It’s just something you do, that’s all!” I didn’t try to tell him that if I wore anything it would be a star of David. I did say that the cross had a meaning which I would be glad to share with him if he wished. He didn’t. Incidentally, if you’re curious about the clapping, I’ve since been lead to believe it is to call the attention of the Gods to yourself before uttering your prayer. So, in retrospect, the conversation in the Honolulu Airport was unusual. I was talking to a friendly young Japanese man who was studying in an American College in Alabama. “I’m very glad you go to Japan,” he said. “Americans have very wrong idea of Ja pan.” Others have echoed this thought. There is a widespread interest, almost an obsessional interest here, in America. But it is disconcerting for the Japanese to find that Americans do not know the name of their Prime Minister (Nakasone) and can only name one Japanese city. (To Tokyo, try adding Kyoto, Nara, Nagoya, Osaka) “What is our wrong idea?” “You have picture of Japanese peasant in long robe. That’s old Japan. There is also middle Japan. And modern Japan. We have factories. We have industry. We have technology. We have computers. We are modem (Mahdernnnn)”. His eyes glowed. He was filled with entrepreneurial zeal although he agreed that yes, perhaps it was a shame to let old customs and traditions go. “Now I tell you why we produce so much,” he said, confidingly. “It is because we always work to improve our skills. Many times, after we work, we go out to eat and drink with our employer. Now we like to eat and drink; but mainly we like to talk - how to improve our skill and our company. “We are not a religious people, but we must belong to something. That is our family and our company.” “Perhaps you know,” I said, “that in America workers tend to be quite wary of the employer.” “No! No! We are proud of our company.” “Would you feel free to challenge your employer?” “What do you mean?” “Well, for example, if you thought you should earn more money, would you ask your employer for a raise?” “No! No! We obey him!” “What would you do if you didn’t approve of his policies?” “Please explain.” Few American workers would have understood the question either. But then few American workers would be studying in a University on the other side of the ocean. “What if your employer carelessly pollutes? Or what if he makes nuclear weapHe grew very still. After a long pause he said, “That would be a life crisis.” He then told me he had some friends who had struggled with this very issue and had left their jobs. But their situation is desperate. The country is small, job hopping is frowned upon, and new jobs are not easy to find. After further thought, he brightened. This kind of conflict, he told me, would not happen for after all, the company wants a good reputation. The only way to win the respect of the people is to be good to and for the whole society.

In other work, the road at the north entrance to Mathews Arm campground will lie realigned and widened to allow cars with trail ers to move into a slow lane before making their turn. The entrance road to the Elkwallow Wayside will undergo similar widening for safety purposes. Places where the road has settled will be brought up to level and repaved.

It is the only vehicular access within the ridgetop park. Construction began in 1931 with funding from the Federal Drought Relief Administration. Most of its construction was done by local contractors. Hundreds of local people were given jobs building the new national park and the Skyline Drive. In 1933, when the Civilian Conservation Corps was formed, its members did some work on the drive although they worked primarily on restoration and erosion control.

Inc Member Audit Bureau of Circulation Thursday, August 25, 1983 You Forgot Us Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson is up in arms over the failure of Hollywood movie makers to include the city of Winchester in the shooting schedule of a new film for television on the life of George Washington. “When the press reported recently that a television film was being made in Virginia about the early life of George Washington, folks in Winchester perked up,” said congressman Robinson in his latest newsletter. “Mr. Washington, after all, was based in Winchester for ten years during his early manhood. From that location, he received his military training fighting Indians on Virginia’s frontier. He received initiation into the art of government by virtue of having been first elected to the Virginia House of Burgesses from a seat in Winchester. “We like to think his experiences in our part of Virginia helped to mold him well for the role he was destined to play as America’s first great leader. So it has been a disappointment to learn that no filming is to be done in Winchester in connection with the production of this television miniseries for CBS.” Well, Mr. Robinson, we here in Washington, Virginia, are disappointed too, disappointed that our town isn’t on the filming schedule and disappointed that you didn’t plead our cause along with that of your home town. After all, the average American doesn’t think “George Washington” when they hear “Winchester.” He may have made your area his base for ten years but he surveyed our town when he was just 17. It might even have been his first big job. He named our streets, the same names they bear today, a$er the first families in the neighborhood (reserving Gay Street to honor his secret love, the beauty of the lowlands, Gay Fairfax, according to local legend). He danced, dined and slept at Washington House on Main Street, visited friends in the mountains here and even wanted Washington as capital of the new nation years later, again according to local lore. We are the first Washington of them all and besides, our town is much more photogenic and picturesque than Winchester. Mr. Robinson notes that he and former U.S. Senator Harry F. Byrd, Jr. and other civic minded citizens are working to change the minds of the film moguls. The Congressman maintains that a movie on George Washington without scenes from Winchester will be like an Apple Blossom Festival without any blossom. Well, a movie on the Father of our Country without scenes from the first Washington of them all would be like an Apple Blossom Festival without flowers, fruit and trees. The Little Known Role Of Vice-Presidents By EUGENE McCARTHY Rappahannock News Guest Columnist Although eight recent presidents of the United States have, beginning with president Eisenhower, all said that they were giving new meaning to the vicepresidency, that new meaning has been difficult to see or to identify in most administrations. However, one aspect of function of the newly conceived office has been made clearer in an article on a former vice-president in a recent issue of The New York Times. The vice-president, according to the Times, was a much stronger vice-president than, generally pictured, forceful, almost violent when occasion required. The precedent for this vice-presidential role was established by Richard Nixon, who as vice-president to President Eisenhower, confronted the head of the Russian government, Nikita Khrushev, in Khrushev’s own country, even in Khrushev’s own kitchen. And Nixon had pictures as proof and support. There was Richard in the kitchen, waggling, it seemed, his fingers at the point of Nikita’s nose. Nixon may only have been pointing, since the photo was taken with a still camera. Nikita did not seem to be intimidated, or even diseomfitted, but rather irritated, if not angry, but not to the point of taking off his shoe and beating on his own formica. Richard Nixon treasured the picture and used it as a prop in his presidential campaigns. 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. The role of vice-president as point man or enforcer in international affairs was played down in the Kennedy and in the Johnson administrations. That, function was carried out by other administration officers. It was restored in the Nixon government in the person of Vice-presideht Agnew, who became known as “Nixon’s Nixon,” a kind of bully-boy, swaggerer and potential bouncer. The Ford vice-presidency was one of limited function, principally a kind of St. Christopher preparation, to carry the president safely over the threatening waters of impeachment and beyond the deep waters of imprisonment for obstructing justice. Although The New York Times notes that former Vice-president Mondale offers no pictures to support his statements, it none the less reports that in carrying out his role as vice-president in the new and strong manner, he had “faced down President Marcos in the Philippines,” had “wrangled with Prime Minister John Vorster over South Africa (The Times does not report where the wrangling took place) and had “softened up” Prime Minister Menacham Begin at Camp David. A picture of the V.P. facing down President Marcos would be interesting to see. Marcos comes very close to qualifying as an inscrutable Oriental. The sight of such a near Oriental losing inscrutability and face might well have been a photographic first. A picture of Walter wrangling with John, either in Washington or Pretoria or Johannesburg might not have been very revealing, for John Vorster is by reputation and inheritance an inscrutable Dutchman. A recording of this historic wrangle, however, might have found a place in the National Archives beside “Richard and Nikita in the kitchen.” The softening of Menachan Begin could not be shown, I am sure, either by pictures or recording, but would need, or does need, sustaining psychological and historical data. Politics, at least at the vice-presidential level, seem to be moving into a rougher field of action, of toughness and of confrontation in which the language of the boxing ring, of the night club and of professional football may have to be applied. Ruritans Hear Lawyer Speak David Konick, Washington attorney and Rappahannock’s zoning administrator, was the guest speaker at the August 16 meeting of the Amissville Ruritans. Konick spoke on the importance of citizen participation in local government. He pointed out that the Virginia Constitution states ■ that the people are the power; magistrates and elected officials are their servants. It s of no use to complain about laws, Konick said, if citizens don’t take an active role before laws are passed. Club members heard a report on the success of the donkey ball game held August 17 at Stuart’s Ball Field. The Amissville Number One team bucked the Fire Department’s squad 9-7 in six innings of play. Appreciation was expressed to Lorraine r>ariy ana ouzie Dodson for preparing the field and selecting the teams and to the players who found out how hard the ground was in Amissville. Reportedly, they were as stubborn as the mules. The Ruritans began plans for a circus to be held September 16 at the Amissville fire hall grounds with two shows set for 6 and 8 p.m. —Our Rappahannock Heritage —Photo Courtesy of Howard Holschuh GLORIES OF A COUNTRY GARDEN — A winning arrangement at the Rappahannock Garden Club’s mini-show.

It was an arduous and time-consuming undertaking and everyone who attended is to be heartily congratulated for having survived the very rigorous training provided by .James Grigsby and others from the Castleton Rescue Squad. James was a stem task-master, insisting on repeat after repeat until each procedure had been precisely mastered, regardless of swollen lips, shortness of breath, sore knees, etc. In life and death situations there can be no excuses of falterings; in his teaching, James allowed for none either. Rappahan nock is indeed fortunate in having people like James who are willing not only to volunteer time unstintingly but to bring such a fine degree of professionalism to teaching. Our thanks also to the Fannons (Hazel and Mary Frances) for serving a very delicious lunch on Saturday for some very hungry and tired people, and thanks to all those who so generously contributed delectables for the occasion. Vince Hannon deserves special thanks for his extremely informative minicourse on water-rescue techniques—how to deal with different types of drowning situations and other details vital to those who swim or are around bodies of water. And, of course, the watersafety instruction would not have been possible without the generosity of Bill and Mary Frances Fannon in lending their pool for the occasion. Many thanks indeed. Our thanks to all who helped make this Memorial to Carl a really worthwhile endeavour. Hopefully someone else’s life may be saved by the knowledge, We all have learned that it is up to individuals to keep a person breathing and a heart beating until the rescue squad can arrive.

WOOD County Chairman A Success Despite The Rain To the editor: Despite the rain-out on Thursday, August 11, the Amissville Ruritan Club was pleasantly surprised at the attendance of their first annual donkey ball game held the following Wednesday. On behalf of the Amissville Ruritan Club, I’d like to thank the community for their everlasting support; not only for our recent fund raisers, but for the long past. It is this support which enables the Ruritans to use the proceeds of such events and return it to those in our community who need it. Nationwide, the Ruritans share the philosophy of , making their communities a * better place in which to live. It would be impossible to achieve this without the community support. Those who attend, realize that Ruritan fund raisers are the basis of good intentions of the local men who voluntarily give their time and effort to achieve the community goals. Special thanks to all those persons and groups, who, while not Ruritans, donate their time and talent in helping to make our programs complete including the Rappahannock News for their cooperation and coverage of Ruritan’s events. It makes me feel good to know that I live in a place where people are good to people. WAYNE G. KANABY Vice-President and Club Reporter Amissville Ruritan Club Name Omitted W. A.

From Both Barrels GOP Power Struggle By GEORGE BOWLES In early behind-the-scenes maneuvering, the battle lines are quietly forming for yet another shoot-out over the control of the Republican Party organization in the state. Unlike the historic confrontation at the Roanoke convention a dozen years ago, the present struggle does not involve a contest between the party’s liberal and conservative wings. On that occasion the GOP conservatives unhorsed the ruling moderate-to-liberal faction which had guided the party’s fortunes—or misfortunes—for nearly a century. The challenge now building to the Republicans’ mainline conservative leadership comes from the right. While the ultra-conservatives have always had a strong voice on GOP affairs, their object now appears to be total control of the party apparatus. An abortive effort was made earlier this summer to oust incumbent state GOP chairman Alfred Cramer of Culpeper and install someone more to the liking of the far right faction. Mr. Cramer, however, proved to have strong support on the Republican State Central Committee. He rallied his allies, and the coup failed to materialize. But Mr. Cramer has already said he will not seek re-election as chairman when his term expires next year. Thus, at the Republican state convention, > which will be held on June 1-2 in Hampton, the way will be clear for an all-out battle for control between the rival camps. At the convention, the party will elect a new chairman, new officers and a new state central committee. All of the posts are for four year terms. Any attempt to analyze the situation within the party is complicated by the fact that there are no really profound differences between the factions. In their on-the-record responses to questions, party spokespersons deny that factional differences even exist. Indeed, it is arguable—and possible—that the deep-seated divisions which lie just below the apparent surface calm have as much to do with personalities as with philosophies. Whatever the basis of the split may be, the conservatives see Sen. Paul Trible as the point man in the ultra-conservatives’ bid for power. They are divided, > however, about his role. Some see him as ltitle more than the instrument of the real power-seekers around him. These include his coterie of supporters both within the party and the membership of the “Main Street Establishment” who believe his energy and ambition could be useful. Others, however, believe Sen. Trible is very much in command, and is, in fact, leading the charge. In either case, he generates strong sentiments among his critics. “Paul’s ambition is not the healthy kind,” a senior Republican observed bitterly in a recent interview. “There’s something almost malignant about it.” Also deeply involved in the drive to capture the party is Judy Peachee, a top Trible aide. “Judy Peachee,” said my GOP source, “is the most powerful woman in the state of Virginia. She was responsible for Mills Godwin’s election to a second term as governor, for John Warner’s election to the senate and for Paul Trible’s win over (Lt. Gov.) Dick Davis last year in the senate race. Beside that, you can see her hand in more past congressional and General Assembly races than you can say grace over!” It is clear that any takeover of the party by the far right would, in all likelihood, extend her power to the party’s top policy and decision-making echelons. All this becomes very important when one takes the long view of Virginia politics. The Republicans are not much worried about this year’s General Assembly elections or about next year’s U. S. Senate race. They would, of course, like to make some gains in the legislature in 1983, and they do not believe Sen. John Warner will have serious difficulty in his bid for re-election in 1984. But their attention, and that of the state’s famed independent conservative coalition, is riveted on 1985. That is the year in which Virginia will elect a governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general. Control of the Governor’s Mansion is the key to real power in Virginia, and control of the party in a gubernatorial year means control of the nomination process, potentially of the campaign, and-if the cards are played adroitly—of the candidate himself. And victory means access to all of the gubernatorial goodies which come with the job. It’s a prize worth fighting for. Sen. Trible’s Republican critics are convinced he sees himself as the possible head of a new machine along the model of the old Byrd organization; a creator and manager of governors, and political leader of the Commonwealth. A step in that direction would be a sweep by his faction when the party reorganizes at next year’s convention. To be sure, there are a few questions which will have to be answered about all this. For example, would Sen. Warner, former Gov. John Dalton and other GOP notables stand idly by and watch Sen. Trible become the political boss of Virginia if that, indeed, is his game plan? It’s not likely, and their efforts to ward off the possibility could lead to a bloody donneybrook when the GOP meets in Hampton 10 months hence. Garden Club Hears^ Ranger The Rappahannock County Garden Club held its August meeting at “Belle Colline,” home of Grace Sims. Assisting Mrs. Sims as hostesses were Jane Herndon and Ruth Pillar. Club members exhibited arrangements of fruits and vegetables from their gardens. Many blue and red ribbons were awarded by judges Florance Nordone and Rappahannock extension agent Birgitt Thornhill. Guest speaker W. 0. Vemam, forest ranger for Rappahannock and Fauquier counties, gave a presentation on the varieties of trees native to this area.

From the Hudson Valley to the Voice of America. “Training” Ground For Phil Irwin By MICHELE MAY •“PPdunnock New. Staff Writer Phil Irwin of Flint Hill would really rather talk about his hobby than his job. But then his hobby has been in the family a lot longer. When Irwin chose a career direction that led to his present position with the Voice of America he broke with a family tradition that started back in the early 1830s. A new invention set the stage coach on wheels and ran it along tracks at incredible speeds. One of the first trains in America, named after the then governor of New York, DeWitt Clinton, actually looked like a series of stage coaches being pulled by a steam engine. Around 1831, Irwin’s ever-so-great grandfather was in the Hudson River Valley helping to lay the tracks. Now Irwin has a replica of that 1831 DeWitt Clinton in his collection of model trains spanning the intervening generations of his father’s side of the family and the transportation changes his forebearers saw. His father, Rossman Irwin, Sr., retired as a conductor in 1954 after having spent« years with the New York Central Railroad. He started working in 1908 right after he finished the customary eight years of school. He had chosen that course by the age of eight when his father was killed in a rail accident. But when it came time for his son, Phil Jr., to start thinking about the work world, Rossman insisted on a college education. Phil worked for a couple of months as an intern stoking coal, but when he heard about it, father put his foot down. So, it was off to Syra■* cuse University where Phil started in electrical engineering and majored in broadcasting and pre-law. There, in 1952, he found a job as a control engineer at the campus station and “figured out radio was a lot of fun.” The 1955 graduate pursued that profession. Now as an occasional guest lecturer at various colleges or when he returns to Syracuse U. to speak to students, Irwin tells them “radio is not a good way to go.” His best advice for beginners in broadcasting is “Don’t make it a career.” Irwin’s success as a world-wide personality, was a matter of being at the right place at the right time and “being ready for the opening” when it came, he insists. He started at the smallest station in Syracuse, WOLF, a 250 kilowatt sta —Rappahannock News Photo/D. Hutchinson PHIL IRWIN and son Ross conduct trains in their basement ‘‘town. ’ ’ tion that was successfully competing against the area’s bigger 5000 kilowatt stations — except at Arthur Godfrey time. Unable to beat the popular red-head, WOLF filled that time-slot with the special interest programming that few people would listen to anyway. The rest of the day held something for everyone, things like a Guy Lombardo and big band show or a country mu-j sic request show. The latter was the format of Irwin’s first big break. It happened to him the way it does to the heros in Hollywood backstage movies. The regular announcer was sick. Irwin was answering phone requests and made an audition tape. The next day he was behind the mike taking his first air shift. Country music may seem a little alien for a spot like Syracuse, New York, but Irwin says it held “a natural appeal” because Syracuse is “a working man’s town.” He likes all kinds of music, but says he had an immediate affinity for “the uncomplicated manner in which country music tells a story. It’s easy to listen to. It reflects real life.” Today, his Voice of America program “Country Music, USA” is beamed to listeners in Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the MidEast and 28 tapes are forwarded by USIA (U.S. Information Agency) posts around the world for play by other radio stations. This is in addition to his main job as a personality on the interna PHIL IRWIN at Voice of America. tionally famous “Breakfast Show.” A press release from the USIA refers to Irwin as “the pioneer of country music at VOA.” He says he persuaded the programmers to add a Yz hour country and bluegrass music show in 1975, a sort of complement to the older jazz show that had so successfully shared American culture with other nations. Appalachian bluegrass with its roots in Celtic folk songs has become a typically American art form which has recently become more and more popular at home as well as abroad. Irwin’s program is broadcast worldwide on Friday nights, directed to those who speak English as a second language. But he says they want to hear that good ol’ country music, not a lot of talk. Still, he says sometimes a little explanation is needed. Playing the current hit “Home-Grown Tomatoes,” Irwin felt it wise to explain that this loving tribute to tomatoes is meant as humor and that not all Americans long to be buried in their gardens after they die. He chooses his music from the country music charts, adds a few old hits, several bluegrass pieces, and interviews with country music artists whenever possible. Irwin has met many musicians over the years, but he says one of his favorites was Ronnie Milsap. Milsap heard his song, “There’s a Stranger in My House,” over the radio while he was abroad listening to Irwin’s program in Europe. He thanked his host profusely for playing his record. Next he expressed an interest in the equipment Irwin was using for the interview. “What kind is it?” Irwin told him the brand name. “Oh,” said the blind singer. “I never saw one of those. Can I see it?” Irwin says he handed over the tape recorder and the singer gently touched all its controls and the reels. “There’s seven minutes left,” the singer observed. “Do you mean to talk with me for seven minutes?” Irwin assured Milsap that he would change tapes as often as needed to finish the interview and the two talked for a long time. Seldom, says Irwin has he met a star so comfortable with himself and easy to get along with. Another person who is comfortable with himself CULPEPER DISCOUNT OUTLET GREA T AUGUST SALEH!

The child actively participates in his father’s hobby and discusses the history of transportation with vast knowledge. He recently accompanied his dad to the transportation museum in Roanoke and offered encouragment as his father shoveled coal into an Alleghany Central Railroad locomotive in Covington. Ross can speak with ease on the differences between the 1893 Empire State Express (which set the world speed record of 112'/^ miles per hour) and the famous 1860 civil war train The General (now lodged in a museum at Chantanooga, TN.) He goes with his father to the cellar world where 150 years of tiny trains run on miniature hand-laid tracks surrounded by little billboards, animals, and crossing signals that are electronically rigged to actually flash when the trains pass by. A complicated elec tronic system allows each train to be sent along by remote control. When the tracks are all laid, the route will traverse all the basement walls, through a sort of Luray Caverns hollowed through the lower level of the old stone house, and thence through a crawl space. Ross points out where some tiny pine trees threaten to derail the next locomotive. He explains that a "big storm” (the cat) knocked over some of the trees in the “town.” Then Ross sets about selecting the cars he will take with him to his first meeting of the Fauquier Model Railroaders club. The members live in counties from Rappahannock to Prince William. They are building a huge layout in the old Southern Railroad station at The Plains and already have track in place to run their trains. Of about a dozen regular attendees, Ross will certainly 1h* the youngest. Just before leaving the basement, Phil Irwin takes off his father’s old conductor’s cap. Ross stays behind agonizing over the decision of which train to take to The Plains. He seems to have inherited the interest of his ancestors. He'll be wearing his grandfather’s cap before long.

Rappahannock County School News Nine New Teachers Reach Rappahannock By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock \chn Staff Writer The two day orientation was a time for thinking, sharing ideas, having fun together, getting acquainted, and finding the way through the school corridors. This year’s crop of new teachers arrived at the Rappahannock school offices Tuesday. During the afternoon program, superintendent Robert Estabrook discussed some educational philoso- j phies behind curriculum planning and instructional techniques. The new teachers received an overview of their responsibilities and also a crash course from bookkeeper Fay Suddeth in the fine art of filling out business forms. Then they were taken on a half-hour long-school district tour culminating in a reception at the Rappahannock County Library. Tuesday evening they relaxed at a picnic at the Estabrook home. On Wednesday morning the teachers were set free in the schools to find their class rooms and get their thoughts organized before school officially starts next Wednesday. Each teacher has a “buddy”, a more experienced teacher to help show the ropes of routine school procedures throughout the year. Estabrook explained to the school board last week that the “buddy system” helps smooth over the rough spots of the first few days. A former English teacher himself, Estabrook said, “Most 1 TONS OF POWER WITHOUT THE TONS.

School secretary Judy Atkins acted as a clearing house to help the teachers find homes. As people have rental property available, they call her and she keeps a listing of rentals. She says as far as she knows the latest batch have all found homes and are settled in. Five of the teachers are area residents already and two of them are returning to the system. So more than half of this year’s new teachers feel right at home. Mary “Molly” Hobson of Washington is returning following a one-year leave of absence. ■She teaches fourth grade and is a graduate of James Madison University. Also from Washington is Kimberly Robinson, a recent graduate of North Carolina Wesleyan College at Rocky Mount, N.C. Robinson w’ill teach general math at the high school. First year first grade teacher Carol Atkins is from Flint Hill. She’s a graduate of Longwood College at Farmville, Va. She is well known in the school board office; Judy Atkins is her cousin. Coming back to second grade is Susan Wittl of Sperryville. A graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Wittl has been teaching in Spotsylvania County for two years. Previously she taught at Rappahannock County Elementary School. A Front Royal resident, Connie Carter is coming to the high school to teach English. Carter, a graduate of Radford College, previously taught at Douglas Freeman High School in Richmond. Coming from Harrisonburg is first year teacher L. Gregory Drescher. Drescher is a graduate of Goshen College in Goshen, Indiana. He teaches fifth grade. Rappahannock’s three new out-of-state teachers come from Winston-Salem, N.C.; McDonald, Pa.; and Mt. Prospect, II.

r It Took 22 Years But George Beahm Finally Got His Record (The following article is reprinted by permission from the September, 1983, edition of Petersen’s Hunting magazine). By JOHN CLARK Editor’s Note: So often in recent years we have heard of new record whitetail coming from the western states and provinces. The eastern United States is practically ignored as a source for high-ranking bucks. The story that follows is about a record that went unrecognized, for 22 years, but at long last, the waiting is over. This Virginia buck, which scored 186 i/8 Boone and Crockett points, will rank as one of the finest typical whiteta.il bucks ever taken in the eastern United States! It was a cold, frosty November morning in 1959 when George Beahm set out on what he thought would be a typical deer hunt. He was hunting near his home, about 10 miles northwest of the little town of Washing NOTICE Notice is hereby given, pursuant to Virginia Code Section 15.1-536, that the regular September meeting of the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors will be held on Wednesday, September 7, 1983, at 10:00 o'clock A.M. in the Courthouse at Washington, Virginia.

The season was already over a week old, and so far the deer had won every round. On this day, George was accompanied by his old friend and hunting companion, the late Wade H. Massie II. Their plan was for Massie to get up high on the mountain and for George to hunt the lower ridges, in hope of pushing a buck up to him. Massie carried out his part of the plan to the letter, arriving at his stand well before daylight. George set out at first light, having already heard a deer snorting about 500 yards to his right. As he approached a small clearing, he heard a crashing sound coming toward him. George dropped to the ground, checked his 1917 Enfield .30-06, and waited. Seconds later he could see antlers coming around the brow of the ridge. The buck was about 50 yards away in a patch of sumac when he stopped and stared in George’s direction. George could see antlers and the top of the buck’s back above the brush while he anxiously waited for a clear shot. At the crack of his ’06, the buck took off at a dead run, showing no signs of being hit. George took another shot in desperation, but knew this time he had missed. For what seemed like an eternity, the buck crashed through the brush, finally running headlong into a tree and falling back stone dead. George hurried over to his trophy—the biggest deer he had ever seen. George had been in the woods less than an hour and was still within 500 yards of his pickup. His hunt was over, but little did he know that he had just shot the best typical whitetail deer ever taken in the eastern United States! Upon returning to the truck, his friend Massie couldn’t believe his eyes. ”1 never thought deer grew antlers that big” was all he could say. But at the gamechecking station in Sperry Photo Courtesy of John Clark GEORGE BEAHM and the buck that broke the record. ville, Virginia, agent Carson Johnson told George that he had checked a buck a few days before that was about the same size. George had thought he had an exceptional trophy, but after hearing Johnson’s story, he wasn’t so sure. At that time, George didn’t read any hunting magazines and didn’t even khow the Boone and Crockett Club existed. He didn’t own a camera, so sad to say he didn’t take any picBenefit Game The Amissville Mamas vill take on Nine-to-Five from Culpeper in a benefit ball game this Sunday, August 28, at 5 p.m. at Stuart’s Field in Amissville.

He did saw off the antlers, however, leaving plenty of skull attached. The antlers laid around for a year or so before George’s uncle offered to mount them on a board so George could hang them on the wall of his home. Over the years, a number of hunters saw the antlers there. Some were impressed, some were not. George took a lot more deer, but none to compare with the buck bagged in 1959. The first time this author saw the antlers was after 1 came home from the Army in the early 1970’s. One thing was for sure—this rack was in a class by itself. I told George 1 thought he should have the antlers measured by the Boone and Crockett Club, but he replied that he thought there were bigger ones around. Years passed, and it was not until February of 1981, when 1 took George to the sportsman’s show in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, that he realized what a prize he had. After examining the many award-winning deer on display we agreed that none could compare with George’s trophy. On the drive home, 1 told George, “One thing’s for sure—we are going to get your antlers measured for the Boone and Crockett record book. ” I contacted Max Carpenter, head game biologist for the Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries, who is an official measurer for the Boone and Crockett Club. He offered to come by at his convenience and take a rough measurement, just to see if the antlers could make the book. The day arrived, and Carpenter measured the antlers. His rough measurement totaled 187 points! "It’s bigger than I thought," he exclaimed. “It will go well up in the record book. Complete Line ofWoodstoves Pipe, etc. All Types of ' Hardware.

Small Mountain Farms Provided Grist For Many Mills Grist Mill On Hughes River Was Beginning OfNethers Nethers Mill served the community on the road to Old Rag Mountain, grinding feed and commeal for families of Nethers, Hudsons, Lillards, Jones and Jenkins who lived there at the turn of the century, and for the Weakleys, Nichols and Dotsons who lived farther on up the mountain in Weakley and Nichols Hollows and the Hazel. Nelson Nethers grew up in the small hill community, where Nelson’s father, William Clifton Nethers ran the grist mill and the store. Mr. Nelson Nethers remembers the community as quiet and peaceful. “We didn’t have the commotion that went on back in Nichols Hollow,” he recalls. “Except on election day. People voted at the mill and sometimes there’d be some drinking and fist fights.” Social Center As in most rural communities of the early 1900’s, a lot of the social life and entertainment centered around the country store. People would gather there to pitch horseshoes and play marbles. It wasn’t until the 1920’s that automobile traffic started appearing around the Nethers area, so local people patronized the Neth ers Mill. In those days there were mills every few miles within easy reach of those traveling on foot or by horse or mule. William Nethers ordered his groceries from Culpeper and his hardware from Charlottesville, his son recalled. He stocked regular country store items like plow plates and bolts, clothing, horseshoes and horse collars. Millers and storekeepers, like all merchants of the day, took almost anything in trade. Stores didn’t generally ca>Ty much produce, since everyone raised their own and cold storage was difficult. Eggs and chickens were traded, the solution to storing chickens being to keep them alive until dinnertime. As a toll for his grinding, William Nethers took a portion (one-eighth) of the meal or feed to have on hand to sell customers who didn’t grow their own com. From time to time someone would want wheat or rye ground into a coarse, whole-grain flour for baking. Nethers Mill lacked the facilities to grind a bleached branless white flour, so sacks of biscuit flour purchased at Fletcher’s Mill were kept on hand for sale. Nethers explained the operation of the mill this way: the dam for Nethers Mill was 25-50 feet wide and about 75 feet long. Water would run in all the time. At first the mill was run by a turbine, or completely submerged wheel. During the drought of the early ’30’s, this wheel was replaced by an overshot wheel that used less water. The turning of the wheel turned the upper mill stone which was raised up and down in relation to the stone in the floor for the different types of grinding. Folks at that time brought in white field corn to grind for flour — yellow corn was used for animal feed. White or yellow, Mrs. Nethers is of the opinion that good tasting eombread became a thing of the past when the old wheels stopped turning. Nelson Nethers agreed: “Those old wheels ground so slow that they didn’t create any heat. Cornmeal today is cooked by the heat of grinding and just doesn’t taste fresh or good.” But in the past, millers prided themselves on the taste of their fresh-ground meal and flour. There was a technique to it, and William Nethers was known for his good-tasting meal. “At Nethers on the Hughes Kiver tnen, tnere wasnt much of a flow through the dam,” Nethers said. “We’d only grind a couple of bushels at a time and the wheel turned slow. So this slowground cornmeal of my father's was known for tasting good.” Like the coal miner, the baker and the mechanic, the miller was marked by his occupation. “Look at all that meal on him,” Mrs. Nethers remarked about the picture of her father-in-law snapped after a day’s work. “I’ve ground many a bushel of meal myself,” Nelson Nethers reminded her. One of eight children, Nelson helped his father out at different times. He demonstrated a scoop, shortened by at least half from years of scooping out meal. The miller had fashioned a comfortable tool from what appears to be pine, with holes cut for thumb and fingers, a design that probably cut down on callouses worn by hundreds and hundreds of scoops. There was Bethlehem Methodist Church at Nethers and a local preacher who came twice a month. There was a story about a woman walking down the hollow to be baptized. The walk was long and the crowd to be baptized large, so the newly converted church member packed a sandwich. As she waited in the river, the water carried her lunch downstream. “Wait a minute, brothers,” said Bailey Nichols, the preacher. “This woman’s sins are leaving in large pieces.” Moonshine Battles Nethers isn’t sure, but he suspects that some of the corn ground at the mill never found its way into cornbread or hushpuppies. Farmers brought it in, already shelled, in sacks, and sometimes departed with sacks of meal, sugar and yeast. Some, suspecting they were watched, asked William and young Nelson to leave large sacks of sugar and ground corn under the porch where they would be picked up late at night. And some of these same people bought sacks of rye flour as well. Folks back in the hollows made rye whiskey as well as sour mash, and even those distilling corn whiskey used a rye and water paste to form a vapor lock at the top of their jugs. Although most ol the illegal activity went on back up farther towards Old Rag, as a boy Nelson recalls a man being shot across the road from his home. A moonshiner came to the Weakley house where a man was working in the garden with Mr. Weakley and addressed him: “You told the revenoors on me, didn’t you?” “No,” said the man, but before he could finish the moonshiner put several holes in his chest and ran away. This was the talk of the community for quite a while, as a posse was formed and the moonshiner tracked down to his home. The little community at the mouth of the Old Rag hollows is quite compact, with the feeling of a real neighborhood. Folks voted at the mill, in a lower room for privacy. The mailman, who came in on horseback with the mail in the early morning hours, slept in the same little back room except, one assumes, on election day. The post office was there sometimes, according to politics. Mary Hudson was postmaster when the post office was at Nethers, for several years in the late ’30’s and early ’40’s. Worden Robinson, present proprietor of Nethers Mill, said that some of the Hudsons told him that there used to be horses tied up from the mill halfway up to the beginning of the hollows. Nethers said that the mountain people would bring two or three horses when they came, one to ride and one or two to carry the commeal back. Along with all the moonshine activity, a Mr. Epp Weakley ran a bonded distillery in back of Nethers. His handsome profits enabled him to purchase the first car in town. Robinson has traced the origin of the mill to 1794, when it was built by a Yowell, after surveys by Benjamin Lillard (Robinson calls him Rappahannock’s first developer) convinced Yowell that Nethers was the right spot for a mill. John H. Huffman owned it in turn, and Arnold Nethers, Nelson’s great-grandfather, worked for him. In 1858 Huffman deeded the mill and the house and eighty acres, which also included a sawmill, to his employee. Eventually the grandson that folks called “Tip” operated the meal until its closing in 1945. By all accounts the life of a miller suited William “Tip” Nethers just as it had his grandfather. A look at the interior of Nethers Mill shows that it was not an easy occupation, with steep ladders and stairs to be climbed with huge sacks of meal in addition to the physical work of grinding. And there was always the danger of flooding - marks on the mill’s side near the Hughes show the high water line for floods of the late 1800’s, 1942 and 1979. If the mill race overflowed in cold weather, the dirt road became a sheet of frozen mud and ice. But on sunny days a log Nethers had set up near the chicken coop to the right of the mill porch was full of men sit ting, sunning and talking. Neighbors called it the “buzzard’s roost.” Those who chose to sit on Nethers’ porch were sometimes surprised by cries of snake as the playful miller wiggled a twisted stick up through the floorboards. A park employee came by and snapped a picture of the practical joker standing on the porch, covered with meal, cleaning grain out of his nails with knife, looking like the picture of the jolly miller. Did he like his work as miller, storekeeper, and center of the community? “Oh, he did,” Nethers remembers. “He sure did.” Fletcher's Mill Was Survey Point For Young George Washinqton (The following was taken from research done by Natalie Marsh for the Rappahannock County Historical Society.) An old ledger book tells the story of long ago transactions at Fletcher’s Mill, the most important of the'county’s mills. Local lore has it that the road from Page to Rappahannock was built so that folks could reach the mill on the Thornton River between the villages of Sperryville and Woodville. According to the court house records in Orange, the mill was used by George Washington as a survey point. The yellowed pages of the old ledger list names, still familiar today Pullen, Estes, Thornhill and other farmers who brought bushels of wheat and corn to be ground. Occasionally, a charge is listed—50 cents, a few dollars. But judging from the entries written in flowing black script, the miller took most of his fees out in trade, exchanging his labor for gallons of meal and pounds of flour. The mill, originally known as Pass Mill and later as Temperance, was built before 1740, at least a quarter of a century before the signing of the Declaration of Independence, probably with slave labor. But it is hard to imagine the block and tackle and the power it took to raise the beams that measure a foot wide by 16 inches deep by 60 feet long, raised to stand four stories high. The heart of the mill was the big paddle wheel turned by the force of water running along the mill race and through the “fobray,” a wooden trough that controlled the amount of water flowing to the wheel. This mill wheel generated the power to run all the processing machines and the power to carry grain in chutes to and from storage bins throughout the five levels of the mill. Controlled By “Feel” The miller could usually “feel” from the sound and vibration when the wheel had developed enough speed and power; however, a speed indicator gave a reading of the actual velocity at which the wheel was turning. Complex sets of wheels, gears, belts and clutches throughout the mill brought water-generated power to elevators and machines. The mill wheel could generate 30 horse power but when all the machines were running or the water level was low, an auxiliary engine was used, a semi-diesel Fairbanks Morse. The engine didn’t have a battery; instead, a blowtorch was employed to heat to red hot a metal plug which in turn ignited the kerosene that fueled the engine. Farmers bringing their grain to be milled backed up wagons and carts to a porch on the north side. Corn on the cob went through a window and to the corn sheller. Wheat and already-shelled corn were shoveled into a chute and carried directly upstairs to the cleaning machines. The grain then flowed back down to the first floor and into a 45-bushel bin set on scales to be weighed. From the scales, the grain was lifted to the upper floors by elevators—wooden, four-sided verticle chutes with continuously moving canvas belts studded every six inches by metal cup scoopers. Most of the storage bins were hoppered, sloped like inverted pyramids to ensure that the grain flowed freely out of the hole in the bottom. Stone Ground Corn The corn mill consisted of two large, round stones, the lower one stationary. The upper stone could be adjusted up or down by a lever to grind coarse of or fine meal. Near the corn mill was a large horizontal beam with a set of tongs, similar to ice tongs, hanging at one end. When it was time to sharpen the upper mill stone, the tongs were swung over the stone and attached to the sides by metal pins Then the stone could be lifted, turned over and set down. Only a blacksmith could sharpen the chisel used to work on the stone. He heated the chisel red hot hammered out a sharp edge and then judged the temperature of the cooling metal by its color, he would plunge the chisel into water at just the right moment. The results was a “tempered” chisel hard enough to cut the mill stone. Sharpening the stone was the miller’s most tedious task. The stone was lined with trenches about an (Continued on Page 9) The miller at Nethers in the 'twenties and thirties was William Clifton ("Tip ") Nethers remembered by his children as a hard-working man who liked his job. This contentment is evident in this photograph snapped by an early park employee out gathering local color (top). It was labeled by the park simply "a miller at Nethers". The wheel there (left middle) is one of the best preserved in the county, partly because of the preservation efforts of Worden Robinson, who uses the mill as a pottery making shed and studio and runs a bed and breakfast operation and trout farm at Nethers. Nethers had two big wheels, one to grind feed and the other to grind corn (right top). Like most of the small neighborhood mills. Nethers was not set up for the more complicated operation of producing white flour. The miller stocked biscuit flour from Fletcher's mill outside of Sperryville. The road past the mill ends at the park and in early days was the path to some of the area’s most colorful mountain hollow settlements middle). Right bottom: Nethers' son Nelson at the door of the old mill. Laurel Mills was an important center for the American woolen industry in the late 19th century. Apparently at that time, Rappahannock County supported a substantial sheep population. To make use of the wool the sheep produced, the Spillman brothers founded and built a water-powered brick mill on the Thornton River at Laurel Mills. The ruined walls of that mill still stand today, along with on old brick store next door and a scattering of company houses across the road. Overlooking it all on the bluffs above the settlement stands the huge old mansion built over a century ago by one of the Spillmans. A monument to sibling rivalry, it was meant to compete in opulence with the other brother’s Victorian showplace, now a ruin on a hilltop near Viewtowm. Laurel Mills Was A Mainstay Of The Economy

Smaller grooves between the trenches ground the corn and the trenches fed the meal outwards. The miller had to chisel or “peck out” each trench and every little groove. To check the uniformity of the grooves, the bottom of a straight edge was inked and drawn over the surface of the stone; the ink marked the places that were too high and needed to be “pecked” away. Wheat Washed First When it was time to mill wheat, it was sent to be washed in a machine in the basement. Then it was carried up to a special bin to be tempered overnight. This tempering moistened and softened the outer shell, or the bran, so that it wouldn’t be brittle and ground into the flour but instead could be easily separated. The first rolling machine had two sets of metal rollers wdth large grooves that cracked the wheat. Then the wheat was taken up to the attic of the mill to the “bucklers,” machines that separated out the bran. Next the wheat came back to the second floor-rolling machine with smaller grooves and to another buckler where a powdered bleaching compound, oxylite, was added. Also attached to this rolling machine were pipes called wind vacuums that drew off dust. After the wheat—now flour—went through the third and finest set of rollers, it moved to sifting machines on the fourth floor. The first sifter was a long revolving cloth-covered cylinder with brushes inside. The second sifter, or “wiggler” as the children called it, was a large box eight feet square and one foot deep. It was suspended by wooden rods in each corner and vibrated with a circular motion. This made the flour sift downwards through about eight layers of silk cloth. Finally, the finished product went to the bagging machines on the main floor of the mill. Some of the mill s output was also poured into wooden barrels. In the 1930s, the mill survived a fire. Hut what disaster couldn't do, beaurocracy achieved. With the advent of health regulations that required sealing all the bins, it was no longer economical to operate the mill. It closed down in 1950, its last product not flour or meal, but black snake whips. Rock Mills Remembered “Captain” William Norman operated a mill at Rock Mills, along with a store he had there before the Pawleys bought it and changed its name to “Old Cash and Tote ’Em”. This was the last of several known mills at the river crossing. The foundations of the oldest mill right at the bridge are still visible. Charles Cannon, who lived a mile from Rock Mills all his life until he moved to Washington a few years ago, remembers life in the Rock Mills community. “The whole landscape at Rock Mills has completely changed,” he said. “Before the flood, there were large trees lining the river and, of course, the steep meadows were in pasture and cultivation.” High water was always a problem, though, even before the river juncture was completely flooded out in 1979. “Bridges were often under water and often folks were stranded,” Cannon said. Cannon’s family farm about a mile upstream was usually left undamaged except for washed-out fences. One family closer to the flood plain, the Comptons, found an inventive solution to the high water problem. According to Cannon, they made stilts, walked out on them, protecting their shoes and clothes and leaving their stilts at the edge of the high water for their return trip. Up above the river fork there was a distillery, on land owned by the Cannon family well over a century ago. This was a bonded distillery, producing both apple and corn liquor. For years, many folks in the Hock Mills area, went back up the Kush River to Mt. Salem Church. After the mountain people left the park, a great deal of them from the Hazel bought land at Five Forks and built the church there for their pastor, who also left the hollow. “These were Dotsons, Burkes and Hawkins,” Cannon remembers. “They weren’t resettled by the government, they just bought their own land there.” There was a post office there at Five Forks that was called “Cloud,” although Cannon doesn’t know why, and for a time there was also mail delivery to Captain Norman’s store. Children in the area went to school at Mt. Salem except when there was a school at “Fryetown” across from where the Anderson’s have their pond on the Shade Road. Generally, it was a quiet farming community, with no more than a few families along the hollow formed by the Rush and the Thornton Rivers. “Castleton” was not used much as a place name for the settlement across the bridge and the road was not identified with the Shade farm. The whole area until the hollow turned into Tiger Valley was called Rock Mills and the road, which until fifty years ago, followed the river bed closely, was called the Rock Mills Road. Small Farmers Settled The Gap In Rappahannock’s Northern Mountains The gap in the mountains north of Huntly was named after Captain Thomas Chester who bought a tract of land on the west side in the 1700's. It is referred to by that name in the journals of soldiers who had to march over the mountain during the Civil War, and includes a settlement formerly called Williamsburg because of the number of Williams families that lived there. Bradley Williams, who has been running the gen( eral store on the mountain since 1977, said that in his childhood the families who lived in Chester Gap found employment at one of the two large orchards, one called Chester Gap Orchard, run by the Woods, and one run by the Norths. Chester Gap orchard, said Williams, was so large that it included its own store and its own barrel-making operation. Williams said that most families on the mountain grew corn and pastured their cows and hogs up in the mountain woods. “The cows had bells,” said Williams, “so that if one was missing at milking time, it wasn’t such a hard matter to find it.” Transportation in those days consisted of horses and wagons and Chester Gap residents also were used to the long steep walk from their homes to Front Royal. “We didn’t mind it,” remembers Williams, “but of course we didh’t know any different. In fact, most folks anywhere didn’t know any different, so it never seemed that life here was harder than anywhere else." At the bottom of the settlement in the 1940’s was the Appalachian Inn, a dance hall establishment run by Owen Sealock. “It got a bit rowdy there at times,” said Williams, who remembers folks from Front Royal, Flint Hill, and as far away as Sperryville coming to dance at Chester Gap. The weather up on the mountain has always been uncertain. Fog hangs over the mountaintop even on days that are clear elsew'here, and the high altitude explains the heavy snowfall. “We used to be able to walk on the snow over the fences,” Williams recalls. The hard-working farm families found employment at the orchards from September to December.Everyone had a patch of corn, which Williams allows Notes... on Colbert Mill on Elk Run Sam and Katherine Riley walked to the old Colbert Mill on Elk Run one winter day in February, 1980. The mill is located about IV4 miles east of Rt. 643 behind property belonging to Doug Green. Mrs. Riley wrote down what she observed and J what she had heard about the mill. “The mill was built when the workers were paid in shillings. There was a Mr. Heflin who worked on the mill when it was being built for 16% cents a day. That is what a shilling was worth. The foundation of large stones is still intact. You can see where the shaft which held the grindstone went through the wall. The foundation is approximately 24 foot square and the walls are about two feet thick. The mill race is still clearly dis cernible. A dam was built about 200 yards above the mill on a curve in the stream. There are some timbers with notches in them that must have been used in the dam construction. They are in the stream under the water in apparently good condition. “About 100 years uphill from the mill site is a house seat. The chimney is still standing and you can see the outline of the foundation which is 20 ft. square. “The old mill has been known as the brandy camp. It got this name by the mill site being used to make illegal whiskey. You can see indentations where the mash barrels were buried in the earth for fermentation. This was a beautiful day with temperature 62 degrees. Sam’s father, Mr. Keith Riley, told him about the laborers and their pay. mi^ht have been turned into moonshine in some isolated incidents. For cash, farmers drove a calf or lamb to h ront Royal. Another source of cash was gathering "shumate", the wild sumac berries bought for red dye. Williams thinks that a man named Rudasill in Front Royal was the sumac buyer for the area. f or a time, there was a blacksmith located there, appropriately named Smith, and he set up his forge wherever he was needed. A post office was established in the community in H*f>l in the store near the present post office. A man named Merritt (Ireeley was the first postmaster for the town. During the first World War, some Chester (lap people found employment at the “remount station", the mule and horse breeding center for the army north down the mountain in Warren County. At the entrance to ( hester (lap on the Rappahannock side, visitors can see where the Rappahannock first rises, truly just a trickle right behind the dumpsters at the base of the settlement. Chester (lap is one of the collection points for the Rappahannock and the elevation never allowed for eiiomrh water newer for « null to serve the population. Most Chester Cap people brought their corn to Front Royal for milling. For feed they usually'stripped the corn themselves. ^ oungsters walked to the Reager school and back each day. 1 he school is still standing just south of ( hester Cup on the left ot Routt* f>22. Williams remembers Kathleen Robinson teaching school there for years. There are two churches: the Chester Cap Baptist Church near the post office, and the Pentecostal ( hurch which holds infrequent services. Visible from almost anywhere in the community are the carnival rides which are permanently main taint'd for the volunteer fire company, a very active group established in liHiO. Now, says Williams, folks work in Front Royal and a good number work “down country” at construction jobs in Northern Virginia. There is a growing number of retired couples, many of whom maintained vacation homes before moving there permanently. Brad ley Williams in his store at Chester Gap The mill serving Washington was located just east of the town on the Rush River and was named to the Virginia Historic Landmarks register in 1980. It ground out flour, meal and feed from the beginning until the end of the 19th century. It is reported to have served as a neutral bartering place between Union and Confederate soldiers during the Civil War

Steven Nolen Seoggin, pastor of the Washington Baptist Church, has been chosen for listing in the 1983 edition of Outstanding Young Men of America. Scoggin says he was “somewhat surprised” to be chosen adding that he was nominated by a colleague from Dallas, Texas who serves with him on the Southern Baptist convention.

Feeding Value Of Drought Corn By BIRGITT THORNHILL Extension Agent Agriculture Drought-stricken corn can make a good quality feed. Digestibility per unit of dry matter will be comparable to com silage made from com with normal ear development. Feed efficiency will not be as good as normal com silage and is estimated to be 80% of that expected in high quality com silage. To improve the quality of silage from stunted corn, it is suggested that the corn remain in the field as long as practical. Stunted com, although it may not make an ear, will contain considerable moisture in the stalk. This corn will make better silage if harvested when the majority of leaves are “fired”. Even when the plant was “browned”, it will be difficult to make a silage containing 30% dry matter or higher. Delaying harvest has an other advantage of increasing yields if moisture becomes available. The com plant will resume growth if not completely killed by drought, and although it will not make an ear, it will concentrate nutrients in the stalk and will yield more dry matter per acre than corn harvested earlier. Com, sorghums, sorghum-sundan hybrids, and most of the grass family will accumulate nitrate under adverse growing conditions. Dry weather and heavy nitrogen fertilization can result in a situation where plants accumulate nitrate rather than converting the nitrogen into protein. Heavy applications of manure and especially chicken litter will provide the same condition as straight nitrogen fertilization. The point to em phasize is that the above crops are potentially dan fferous when dry weather interrupts the normal growth pattern and these feeds should be fed accordingly. Ensiling is the best alternative for feeding as the fermentation process will remove a significant amount of the nitrate. The material should be ensiled for a minimum of three weeks and then animals should still be acclimated to this silage the same as if you were feeding the material as green-chop. Park Visits Increase By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock New. Staff Writer The national park service released figures for July this week showing visits increased over the same month last year. The monthly travel report from the Shenandoah National Park at Luray shows 91,900 visits Houseplants from the Garden NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Notice is hereby given pursuant to Virginia Code Section 15.1-431 as amended, that the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, September 7, 1983, at 10:00 o'clock A.M. in the Courthouse at Washington, Virginia, to consider the following described amendment to Article Two (2) of the Rappahannock County Zoning Ordinance, 1973: "No Portion or Provision of this ordinance shall prohibit a Government agency from parking a trailer on Government property for the sole and express purpose of providing medical or dental services. ” The aforesaid amendment is available for public examination at the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Rappahannock County, between the hours of 8:30 A.M. and 4:30 P.M., Monday thru Friday. This notice is being published in the Rappahannock News, a newspaper having general circulation in the County of Rappahannock, Virginia, for two (2) successive weeks as required by the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended. Board of Supervisors of Rappahanock County By: Diane Bruce, Clerk By DIANE RELF Virginia Tech Extension Home Horticulturist If you start planning now, the first frosts of autumn do not have to bring to an end the pleasures provided by your flower beds and vegetables gardens. Many plants can be brought inside to provide winter color and, if you have _a^ sunny window, an occasional^ harvest. I * If you have plants already growing in containers, it will be a simple matter to bring them indoors. Start moving them indoors at night when the temperature drops below 60 degrees to maintain their vigor and flower productivity. When it is time to leave them indoors, place them where they receive sunlight equivalent to what they received out-of-doors. Among the plants that are easy to maintain indoors are begonia, coleus, geraniums and ivy. Hanging baskets of these plants thrive in a bright window. Last winter, I was successful in moving a basket of petunias indoors and maintaining bloom in a southern-facing window.

We’re looking for work Rt 29 N ,Culpeper*RANDOLPH KINSEY OWNER«825-9520 Some vegetables do well indoors in a southern window, particularly such leafy green as lettuce and fast crops as radishes. However, with sufficient light, tomatoes will give crops throughout the winter. Try small fruited Varieties for greatest success. Many herbs also are welcome additions to the winter window garden. Chives, parsley, and thyme wjll grow well and receive frequent use. If plants are not already in containers, you have three options for bringing them inside for winter culture. Some can be potted directly from the garden, others can be easily propagated from cuttings and still others perform best if started from seed. There are several difficulties in attempting to pot plants directly from the garden. One is that many of the plant’s roots are lost in the process, necessitating severe pruning of the plant to compensate. The soil in which the plants are grown outside is considerably heavier and does not drain as well as potting mix. This becomes a problem in winter when the plant requires less water and the soil tends to waterlog and extra care must be exercised to develop a proper watering regime. Despite these difficulties, I’ve had success in transplanting a number of garden plants including begonias, chives and other herbs. Perhaps the easiest way to bring plants inside is by making cuttings. Cuttings started in August and early September would make attractive, bushy pot plants before frost kills the parent plant. Make extra cuttings as gifts for friends. Take a three-to six-inch cutting and place it in a FIOaVlER LIVESTOCK EXCUHBE INCORPORATED REGULAR SALES Every Tues.

Check the medium daily to be sure it does not become too dry. As soon as roots form, transplant the cutting to a pot containing a good house plant soil mix. In addition to such ornamental plants as coleus and impatiens, tomato plants can be started in this fashion by rooting suckers. Starting new plants from seed may be the best way to introduce such fast-growing annuals as lettuce, marigolds and zinnias to indoor culture. Start several seeds in each pot and remove the weakest ones to achieve proper spacing for the container. Remember that plants that require full sun in the summer will be equally demanding in the winter, performing best in a southern window. Be ready to protect them from the cold night temperatures penetrating the glass by drawing a shade or curtain. r through the Front Royal entrance station last month compared to 84,600 during July, 1982.

—Kappananm*.* news rmno/u nuicmnson “IF HOGS CAN DO IT, so can we!” these sheep seem to be saying as they huddle in a pasture corner. Word has it that the very next play was a touchdown pass from ram to baa-baa black sheep. From The Collection Of Mattie Ball Fletcher:_ Garden Fresh Recipes Mattie Ball Fletcher, the lady of the famous garden in Washington, hasn't been too unsettled by the dry weather so far this summer. She waters her plants from the well in her back yard and canned 23 quarts of beans before August first. Mattie Ball Fletcher is a wonderful cook known for such delicacies as F'rench fried squash blossoms and zucchini-rhubarb jam—just the one to tell us new and exciting ways to serve those fresh vegetables that have now come into season in an abundance. She was only too delighted to share the secrets of her original recipes: Fried Onion Slices Slice onions and lay carefully in a flat cooking dish. Cover with 1 cup water, season with salt and sugar, and cook covered just until tender. Put a little hot fat in a skillet. Carefully dip the onion slices into the batter of your choice and fry them. Using a fork to dip them on one side, then pouring the batter on the tops helps to handle them less and keep them from breaking. Stuffed Green Peppers Combine sausage, tomato sauce, bread crumbs, and butter to make a filling for the peppers. Then bake at 350 degrees until sausage is well done (approximately 30-45 minutes) and peppers are tender. Put a little water in the cooking pan to keep the vegetables from scorching on the bottom. Broiled Tomatoes Here’s one you can eat now or freeze for a cold winter night. Coat tomato slices in a flour and cracker crumb dip. Cook them until softened in a little bacon fat in a covered pan. Then broil them uncovered until crisp. They can be frozen right in the pan, then wrapped in foil for later reheating. Special Notice Public Auction The regular auction that is held on Thursday evening on Gay St. in Washington, Va. will be held this Thursday evening, August 25, at my home place on Rt. 211, between Washington and Sperryville. This will be a partial estate sale consisting of many old household items and old tools. Come early and browse around Door prize to be given away Jenkins AUCTIONEERING SERVICE William Allan Hale Auctioneer Associate 987-8211 South Carolina Casserole Lay a row of raw rice (approximately two tablespoons) in the bottom of a baking dish. Cover with a layer of sliced tomatoes sprinkled with salt and sugar. Add a layer of sliced okra. Repeat the layers until dish is filled. Put butter on top. Bake covered for one hour or until the rice is done in a 350 degree oven. For extra luxury, layers of diced, cooked chicken can be added. Cucumber Relish Fore those cucumbers that are too large to pickle, Mattie Ball Fletcher has a relish recipe that she uses to make a condiment for fish dinners. Others have used for relish as a sandwich spread and it never fails to attract compliments. Cut the cucumber in half and scoop out the seeds. If the cucumber is yellow, peel it. If it’s green, slice it. Grind the cucumbers with onion. The ratio fs brie large onion for each 6-7 cucumbers. Add one tablesuoon of salt and stir the mixture well. Now squeeze it through a cloth to remove the moisture. Add sugar to taste (approximately 14 cup per batch) and a dash of hot pepper. In a saucepan add vinegar until the mixture is of a consistency to stir easily. Cook a little, then put in small jars. Cold pack for 510 minutes. Great-Great Tomatoes Mattie Ball Fletcher says there isn't much you can’t do with tomatoes. You can slice them up and sprinkle them with salt, pepper, sugar, and vinegar. You can mix them with onions, cucumbers, green peppers — most anything you have. You can fry big green tomatoes; you can pickle the little ones. Or in the morning when it’s too hot to lay in the bed, you can go out to the garden and talk with them, weed them, and water them. That’s what Mattie Ball Fletcher likes doing best.

By MICHELE MAY Rappahannock News Staff Writer I finally succumbed to the radio commercials and bought my cat a flea and tick collar with a famous namebrand. Katzenback strutted through the woods displaying his new wardrobe to all the foxes and raccoons and bunnies that he communes with when we’re not together. And when he was at home he slept blissfully without having to scratch his ear with his foot, a gymnastic feat that I’ve never been quite able to copy. However, I did acquire his desire to scratch. For, no sooner did those pesty fleas scent his insecticide, but didn’t they leap right across the room and attach them selves to my ankles! The Purina Handbook of Cat Care suggests that if you must deflea your cat inside the house, you place him in the bathtub so that you can wash the fleas down the drain afterwards. At night when I placed myself in the bathtub I saw their little dead bodies floating in the lilac bubbles— their proboscises starting to show the effects of rigor mortis. But as soon as I stepped from the tub, their cousins jumped on my feet and rode around like the little birds in the jungle that live on hippopotamuses’ backs. Then I read in the papers that people in New Mexico were dying from the black plague as a result of flea bites. Draft Horses Star At Belle Grove Draft horses and mules will be the stars at Belle Grove Plantation in Middletown on Saturday, September 3. Sponsored by the Virginia Draft Horse and Mule Association, Belle Grove’s draft horse and mule day will present all the modern uses of these four-footed workers: plowing, mowing, discing and raking. In addition, there will be exhibitions for team hitch, competition in team obstacle course and log pull and for draft animals, a ladies’ cart obstacle course. Other activities include wagon rides, mule rides, tours of the Belle Grove Mansion, demonstrations at a working blacksmith’s shop, an exhibition of all draft horse breeds craft sales and participation games for children and adults. I he situation was getting serious. These hardshelled, blood-sucking insects were more than a nuisance; they were downright scarey. Embarrassed to admit to my friends that I had this parasitic problem, however, I began to consult out-ofthe-ordinary sources. Well, there’s an old wives saying, “If it moves slowly enough, step on it; if it doesn’t, leave it. It will probably kill something else.” It was me being killed, though. I had to do something. My great-aunt Carrie’s homemaking book, Household Discoveries: An Encyclopedia of Practical Recipes and Processes (copywrite 1908), had many practical methods of ridding the house of fleas. This tome recommends something called Persian insect powder, petroleum products, eucalyptus oil, oil of the pennyroyal or sassafras, or the leaves of pennyroyal or camomile flowers and hot soap suds (Aunt Carrie’s book also includes recipes for the soap) for their eradication. All cracks and crevices in the house and pets’ sleeping quarters should be dusted freely with this Persian insect powder. “Or, if this is not sufficient, spray the entire carpet or matting and lower part of the walls and baseboards with benzine.” ‘‘Or, if necessary, fumigate the premises with hydrocyanic-acid gas or sulfurous-acid gas.” Or, if that isn’t enough, move all the furniture outdoors and wash down all the floors with hot soap suds mixed with alum (one or two pounds per pailful of hot water), or mixed with crelin (one pint per pailful), and while the furniture is outside, fumigate it with a gasoline scrub-down. Scatter pennroyal twigs auu leaves ana camomile flowers throughout the house to repel the pests. And add a little dab of eucalyptus oil to the backs of your knees, your wrists and ankles and other pulse spots where you ordinarly splash Channel. This fragrance is particularly repulsive to fleas and will protect you while walking through long grass or in “badly infested dwellings.” A contemporary professor at Cornell won some temporary fame with his technique for catching fleas. Professor Gates persuaded a janitor to attach fly paper to his pant-legs with the sticky side out. ,Then when he walked about, the fleas jumped to his ankles and were stuck to the fly paper. Since fleas breed freely only in areas where they are likely to remain undisturbed, all this commotion will most likely scare them away. And according to Aunt Carrie’s book, ‘They are only to be kept down, when they get a foothold, by vigorous measures to insure cleanliness.” Modem homemakers find that vacuuming will take up the fleas and their eggs from the floor, but it must be done every day or their families return to the camp site. A thorough housecleaning must be made to remove the flea eggs from furniture and the pets’ favorite sleeping places. There’s another old saying that goes, “On cleaning day, move everything.” This is the only way to startle the fleas away. Dust the pets’ beds and other places they frequent with flea powder every week to prevent reinfection. It may take two months or more to finally discourage the persistent pests. As a side note to my own sad story, Katzanback stashed his new collar in the woods within a week of my buying it for him. He wouldn’t tell me where he had put it. So the fleas jumped from my ankles back into his fur. My fine furry friend has resumed scratching his ear with his foot.
