The small frame house behind Baldwin’s Grocery Store “was fully involved when we arrived,” said Roger Roach, chief of the Washington Volunteer Fire Department, the first company on the scene. “The heat was so intense, no one could get near the house,” added Lt. Jeff Brown of the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department. “All we could do was lay lines in and control the burning brush (around the yard). The house was too far gone to put out,” Chief Roach said. The alarm was turned in at 4:09 p.m. by Marie Davis, a neighbor of Mr. Pullen. Firemen arrived several minutes later to find the structure completely engulfed in flames. Volunteers responding to the alarm reported that smoke from the blaze was visible as far away as^ Amissville and Sperryville. Units from Washington, Sperryville and Flint Hill responded to the fire. Quick action by Lt. Brown saved Greg Wayland, captain of the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department, from serious injury. Mr. Wayland was combing the ashes looking for Mr. Pullen when one of the two fireweakened chimneys began to collapse. Lt. Brown shouted a warning and Mr. Wayland jumped clear as the chimney crashed down into the ashes where he had been searching. Firemen found Mr. Pullen’s body in the hallway just behind the front door of the house. An autopsy is being performed by the Fairfax County medical examiner. The results were not available Wednesday morning. The cause of the fire has not been established. Mr. Pullen was apparently at home alone when the fire started. F. A. Williams, special agent from the State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigations, searched the charred rubble of the house Tuesday afternoon looking for the cause of the fire. “It’s difficult to determine the cause of a fire if the structure is fully involved when units get on the scene,” Mr. Williams said. “If the cause is in doubt, we get a call. We are concerned with the possibility of human involvement, but our investigation is routine when the cause of a fatal fire is in doubt. I don’t want to mislead people.” “It’s a credit to the fire departments that they are interested enough to call in the state investigators. . . . Sometimes, we do find that fires are started to conceal other crimes,” he continued. Agent ' Williams stressed again that his involvement in this investigation does not necessarily indicate that foul play was involved. No determination as to the cause of the fire had been reached Wednesday morning. Mr. Pullen was born in Charles Town, W.Va., but had lived in Rappahannock County for many years. He was a retired mechanic. Jack Woodard, “of Washington, remembered “Goose’s” mechanical skills. “I’d known him ever since we were both children.

From left, Greg Wayland, Steve Leake and C. B. Johnson. Rappahannock News photo/Greg Turner THE SPERRYVILLE CARNIVAL was in full swing until long after dark last weekend. Sperryville carnival: ‘best in years’ “In my 14 years in the company, this was the best carnival we ever had,” said Steve Leake, chief of the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department. Company treasurer Richie Burke agreed. “The whole membership was well pleased with the carnival. The weather held out good for us — a whole lot better than last year.” Mr. Burke reported that the department grossed $18,764 for the carnival’s five-night run. Starting the event on Tuesday was a new experiment for the volunteers, and it was a success, Mr. Leake added. On Friday night, Susan Estes was crowned the honorary fire chief for 1986. Karen Kendall was the first runner-up. Tammy Dwyer, last year’s winner, was second runner up. The firemen’s parade, held last Thursday night, saw 80 vehicles competing for honors in a procession which lasted almost 45 minutes. Several local companies were among the trophy winners. Tammy Smith, from Amissville Company 3, was chosen the winner among the honorary fire chiefs in the parade. Chester Gap won second place for the best appearing pumper (750 gpm and under), and the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Department took second place for the best appearing brush truck. Salem Volunteer Fire Department from Culpeper County took first prize for the best appearing brush truck, an honor they captured at the Amissville parade last week. Salem also was awarded second place for the best appearing company. The trophy for best float went to Faith Mountain’s tea party. The best comic float winner was Reynetta Gheen of Sperryville. On Saturday night the festivities wound up with the award of the grand prizes. The $1000 first prize was won by Brian Bryant Lee of Washington, second place winner was Ray Wood of Sperryville and third place went to Donnie Dodson, also of Sperryville. Mr. Leake said that the crowds were good throughout the week. “We had two family nights, Wednesday and Friday, and they went real well. Saturday was real good, although it got cool late in the evening.” He added that he feels that the carnival is steadily improving. Steve Click of Shenandoah Valley Amusements handled the rides this year, “and everyone seemed well satisfied with the amusements,” Mr. Leake said. “Lots of people are working hard, and everything is coming around.” Mr. Burke and Greg Wayland, captain of Company 2, both added that all the members want to thank everyone for their support for the carnival. “Everyone is real pleased with the support of the community,” Mr. Leake agreed. “It’s been worth it,” he concluded. — Lou Hatter Supervisors seek landfill compromise By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Faced with an ultimatum — either promise to provide a county landfill by July 1, 1987, or Rappahannock’s existing dump will be closed next month — the supervisors have temporized. At a special meeting Friday night, the board sent a landfill resolution to the commonwealth’s attorney for review and an invitation to Robert Forman to meet with them. Mr. Forman, director of the Health Department’s regional office of Solid and Hazardous Waste Management, will reporteldy attend a special board session this Wednesday morning, June 25. Mr. Forman told the Rappahannock News last week that he would approve an extension for the county’s privately owned and operated landfill if the supervisors OK’d a It) foot elevation to increase capacity at the site and resolved to provide a new landfill by a to-be specified date. He noted that design for the elevated extension will be part of the closure plan to be submitted by Community Trash Disposal Inc., the firm that supplies and maintains Rappahannock’s dumpsters and operates the landfill jointly with property owner Clifton Clark. Mr. Forman ordered submission of the closure plan last April when he projected that capacity at the site would be reached this July. The county’s contract with Community Trash stipulates that all solid waste, once deposited in the dumpsters, becomes the property of the company; closure of the existing landfill would leave Community Trash without a Continued on page 10 Brown is indicted on murder charge By LOIJ HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer A Rappahannock County grand jury Friday indicted Harold Voyd Brown, 38, of Box 118, Syria, on a charge of first-degree murder. The grand jury also indicted Brown on a charge of using a firearm in the commission of a felony in connection with' the shotgun slaying of Aurelious Worth Timmons on June 7. Mr. Timmons was shot and killed while standing on the front porch of his home on Route 231, 2.2 miles north of the Madison County line. The shooting prompted a two-day manhunt which covered southern Rappahannock and Madison counties. Brown w'as named in a statewide bulletin broadcast by the State Police within hours of the shooting. He gave himself up to Madison County Sheriff s Department Lt. W. R. Jenkins on Monday, June 9. At that time, he was served with two warrants alleging a misdemeanor assault and a felony attempted malicious wounding. Those warrants were sworn out by his wife, Deborah. Brown has been held on those warrants in the Page County jail at Luray since his arrest. On Monday, Brown was found guilty of the assault charge in Madison County Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court. He was sentenced to 12 months in jail'with 10 months suspended. He also was placed on one year’s probation and ordered to stay away from the complainant, Deborah Brown. The felony charge was continued to a later date. Grand jury proceedings are held in closed court, but the indictments handed down Friday were based on testimony given by Trooper H. A. Newlin, who is handling the investi gation for the State Police. Trooper Newlin is being assisted by the Rappahannock and Madison County sheriffs departments. Brown is being represented by the Madison County law firm of Berry and Early. No date has been set for a bond hearing. Conviction on the charge of first-degree murder carries a penalty of 20 years to life in prison. In a related case set to be heard before Rappahannock General District Court on June 17, a charge against Brown of brandishing a firearm was continued. That charge stems from an alleged incident involving Aurelious Timmons’ son Gary, which occurred on June 1. According to a warrant sworn before Magistrate Fran Eld red on June 2, Gary Timmons alleged that Brown fired a weapon at him as both men drove their vehicles along Route 231. Brown was arrested by Lt. Jenkins on that charge on June 2 and released on his own recognizance later that day. He was free pending the June 17 hearing at the time of the slaying of Mr. Timmons. When asked about the delay in indicting Brown in connection with the shooting, Commonwealth's Attorney Peter Luke explained that direct indictment by a grand jury “is less inconvenient for the witnesses, and it sav'-es time." Since Brown already was being held on other charges, the procedures of swearing warrants, arrest and preliminary hearing were unnecessary, he added. All those steps are preliminary to a grand jury hearing, so the direct indictment approach was more sensible in this case, he said. Last Friday was the first date available to convene a grand jury in Rappahannock. Rappahannock News photo/Lou Halter HAROLD VOYD BROWN, of Syria, was indicted Friday for murder in the shotgun slaying of Aurelious Worth Timmons. Lt. Jeff Brown of the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department transported him back to the Page County jail at Luray Friday afternoon.

Therefore, I feel it is necessary to raise the fee to $125.” “I am hopeful that this action, along with our recent decision to increase the number of FHA-approved appraisers, will expedite the processing of applications for FHA mortgage insurance,” Thomas added. rnonsft LIVESTOCK EZCBSNOE INCORPORATED Regular sales every Tues.

Park celebrates 50 th birthday Shenandoah National Park will mM’k the 50th anniversary of its dedication with ceremonies at Big Meadows on July 3. Speakers at the event, which will begin at 11a.m., include Virginia Governor Gerald Baliles, former Senator Harry F. Byrd, Jr. and Denis Galvin, Deputy Director of the National Park Service. Fifty years ago at Big Meadows, President Franklin D. Roosevelt noted the need for public parks which “give to men and women of modest means the opportunity, the invigoration and luxury of touring and camping amid scenes of great natural beauty...There is merit for all of us in the ancient tale of the giant Antaeus, who every time he touched his Mother Earth, arose with strength renewed a houndredfold.” He dedicated Shenandoah National Park “to the present and succeeding generations of America for the recreation and for the re-creation which we shall find here.” During the past 50 years, the forests and wildlife have regenerated, making this gift from the people' of Virginia one of the most beautiful and popular national parks in the country. Today, Shenandoah National Park covers 195,000 acres of mountains with scenic views, cascading waterfalls, abundant wildlife, virgin stands of forest giants and over 500 miles of hiking trails. On July 3, second and third generation visitors are invited to the anniversary ceremonies to celebrate the special qualities of Shenandoah National Park that President Roosevelt envisioned.

Day realtor PRIVATE ZONING Nearly everyone is familiar with zoning laws imposed by the government. Did you know that real estate can also be subject to “private zoning”? Often real estate developers write a document containing conditions called restrictive convenants. Tliis document is filed with the office where deeds are recorded, and thus becomes a public record. These restrictive covenants impose limitations on the use of all the property within the subdivision or other development. Common restrictive covenants include a minimum or maximum of square feet in any house built in the subdivision, prohibitions against out-buildings such as storage sheds, a limitation on the number of stories of buildings, and clauses either requiring, regulating, or prohibiting certain types of fences. Generally, restrictive convenants are designed to benefit property owners. However, there may be a restrictive covenant preventing you from using the property as you would like.

Sneak thief swipes cash Between three and four hundred dollars was stolen Tuesday morning from the cash drawer at the Parkway Gift Shop on Route 211 west of Sperryville. According to Sheriff John Henry Woodward, the theft was not noticed until sometime after it had occurred, and few details were available. Police were searching Tuesday afternoon for a small, light blue car, possibly a Datsun. It was described as having a broken windshield and damaged front end. The driver was described as clean shaven and wearing a cap. Sheriff Woodward said that a person fitting that description had stopped at the store sometime before the theft was noticed and used the restroom. Huey Atkins, manager of the Gift Shop, could provide no further details Tuesday evening. American Heart Association WE’RE FIGHTING FOR VOURLIFE July 4th gala planned at Avon Hall By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock New* Special Writer For the 25th consecutive year, Mr. and Mrs. William Carrigan have invited the Rappahannock community to picnic on the lawn of Avon Hall on July 4th and to watch the magnificent fireworks display and other events presented there. Mr. Carrigan attributes his interest in Independence Day to his boyhood in Iowa. “In the Midwest, it was really a big day,” he said. “Everyone — farmers, merchants, children and all the churches — celebrated the Fourth in whatever fashion they could. It was bigger — much bigger there than it was in the East.” Before the Carrigans moved to Rappahannock County, they had a home on the Chesapeake Bay. “We always entertained friends at a private party on the Fourth,” recalls Mr. Carrigan. After moving into Avon Hall in 1960, the Carrigans continued to invite friends. The first year, they had fireworks and noticed cars parked up and down the road in front of their home. “I thought, ‘There is no private party here’,” remembers Mr. Carrigan. “So the very next year, in 1961, we extended a cordial invitation through the Rappahannock News for everyone to join us. And, of course, we have continued ever since.” From the beginning, the Carrigans lit up their lake with luminari, often keeping the message a surprise until dusk when the candles were lighted. In 25 years, there have been a lot of highlights. Mr. Carrigan especially liked the events of July 4, 1976, the bicentennial year. “Almost everyone was in costume,” he said. “Ben Franklin and George Washington spoke to the crowd, using direct selections from their timeless writings.” There have been hot-air balloons on two occasions, and the Rappahannock Hunt has been on hand several times, with its well-trained hounds. Another exciting event was the arrival of a gigantic Army helicopter, a machine large enough to carry two jeeps or many soldiers. “It flew in here over the trees from the west,” Mr. Carrigan remembers. “No one expected it — I couldn’t announce it, because the man it transported, General Vetter, might have been needed in an emergency. It scared people to see such a gigantic helicopter fly so low, but it was a thrill. In fact, I never got to inspect it, there were so many people anxious to see it.” SUMMER CLEARANCE SALE NOW ON!

This year the traditional fireworks display will be preceded by a choral celebration on the shore of Avon Lake. Each year, Mr. Carrigan says, he will have sad memories among the happy ones. “I will remember Bernie Dahlgren, a wonderful gentleman, now deceased, who appeared several times on his magnificent white horse as master of the hunt.” Also in Mr. Carrigan’s thoughts each year is Paul Miller. For 16 or 17 years, Paul Miller organized the fireworks display, Mr. Carrigan said. “He was really sick one year—he was dying and he thought he tnight not even be able to attend the event,” Mr. Carrigan remembers. “I told him that I’d send an ambulance for him but he was coming in any case.” In a touching tribute to a man well-loved locally, Mr. Carrigan had the fife and drum corps march up the hill to Mr. Miller’s seat, fold the flag with great ceremony, and present it to him. “He was so moved,” said Mr. Carrigan. “This celebration had always meant a great deal to him. Later, I helped him to his car and he was still elated, thinking he might be ■:\V*.1 Jr-.-,. well enough to handle the fireworks display the following year. But two months later he was dead.” Since then, Hubert Gilkey and his family have been the ones to organize and set off the fireworks display. “And they’ve done an excellent job,” said Mr. Carrigan. “This is a stressful and quite dangerous business.” In fact, Mr. Camgan noted that each year he must get a federal permit listing everyone who handles the explosives. “With the rise of terrorism, I fear that there will be great restrictions in the future,” he said. This year’s program will be on the theme “God and Country,” and Mr. Carrigan can speak very eloquently on the relationship between patriotism and divine inspiration. “Ben Franklin was not known as an especially religious man,” said Mr. Carrigan. “But he pleaded with the members of the Continental Congress to let themselves be guided by divine inspiration instead of only human wisdom.” To carry out the evening’s theme, there will be a choral presentation, coordinated by Dr. Merlin Shorb of the Flint Hill Methodist Church. “This will not be only a choral group presentation,” Mr. Carrigan noted, “but groups will perform individual numbers according to their tradition and expertise.” Mr. Carrigan promised an exact schedule of events to be published next week, but the foot races and other children’s activities will begin at 6 and the choral program will begin about an hour before dusk. The Carrigans ask that the guests come in through the monument grounds and patronize the firemen’s excellent barbecue. He said there will be comfort stations provided and that each family should bring either chairs or a water-resistant ground cover. (Although we’ve never been rained out,” he said. “Even last year when we came awfully close.”) Those attending the event should park elsewhere, as the Carrigans will be using all of the private parking area. As always, the Carrigans request that the trash receptacles be used and that no individual fireworks appear at Avon Hall. “But most of all, please stress, especially to people new in the county, that everyone is most, most cordially welcome to join us for fhjs special evening,” said Mr. Garrigajh ^ONI **I*ICAN r'*‘ Prices Effective Thru June 28. 1986 _Quantity Rights Reserved Tablerite USDA Choice Boneless Sirloin Tip $169 Mrs Filbert's Mayonnaise q, Rainbow (In Water) A Tana »o2/99 4 $ J 29 Check Out Our Thick Cut Bar-B-Q Section Boston Butt Pork Roast Boston Butt Pork Steak On-Cor $149 lb A $1S9 Chuck Wagon Patties ib n Hi Dri single roll Paper Towels 12 Oz Cans 59 Pepsi • Cokes C 4 79 RC • Sprite ePk 1 pk * Skylark's Select Beef Livers IGA Charcoal 79° $1 89 lh A IGA Lighter Fluid 320, ^l29 S’ IGA (Asst Flavors) Soda 3 liter bot Harvest Fresh Fruit Punch 99° 89* Vi gal IGA Macaroni &y. /< 4 qq Cheese oz ■*/ 1 Ml Olive Kosher Dill Spears 2* ,■ Spam Luncheon Meat Round Top Bread 20 $149 2 oz can A 2/99« Vine Ripe Tomatoes lbs.

The Board of Supervisors, it appears, may have gained reprieves on two of the most pressing issues facing the county: The landfill and the dog pound. The state veterinarian has approved the dog kennel in Fauquier County wThich has been suggested as a site for stray dogs captured by Animal Warden Jack Bruce. Meanwhile, the state Solid Waste Control Board is studying a proposal to allow limited expansion of the present county landfill on Clifton Clark’s property near Woodville. Those two developments certainly allow the supervisors to breathe a bit easier. It is important, however, to emphasize that both these developments are temporary solutions. The supervisors have not solved either of the problems by these interim measures. inaeea, itoDert r orman oi tne sona waste control Board has told the supervisors that, should the landfill expansion plan be approved, it will have conditions relating to selection of a new site attached. Mr. Clark’s neighbors seem willing to hold off on their threatened court suit as well, but are demanding promises of a final closing of the present landfill in a little more than a year’s time. Despite the respite, the supervisors still have precious little time to solve these problems. The board has stated publicly that it would prefer to locate the landfill and the dog pound on the same site. Given the likely opposition to almost any site proposed for the landfill/po\md* much of the supervisors’ grace period may be j taken by attempts to placate irate neighbors. :,, , In other words, the Board of Supervisors should breathe a HASTY sigh of relief and return to its efforts to find longterm solutions to the problems of the landfill and the dog pound. Help dispatchers Recently, several citizens have made emergency calls to the Rappahannock County Fire and Rescue dispatcher but have been unable to provide the dispatcher with precise directions to the location where assistance was needed. Precious minutes were lost as the dispatcher attempted to direct responding equipment to the right place. Those minutes could mean the difference between life and death in an emergency situation. The dispatchers urge all county residents to become familiar with the location of their house, including route numbers and directions to turn from main highways. Landmarks and/or mile measures to the house are also helpful to fire and rescue drivers. Children who are old enough to use the phone in an emergency also should be familiar with the location of their homes and should be able to give that information to the dispatcher. Ask yourself if YOU could describe precisely, in the panic of a fire or life-threatening medical emergency, the location of your home to someone who might not be as familiar with the area as you are. If that situation arrives, it is too late to realize that you can’t. Rappahannock Heritage AN AWESOME HEMLOCK tree in Sycamore Hollow. Rappahannock News photo/Greg Turner Letters to the editor Compliments to Ms. Bristol To the editor: I would like to compliment Ms. Sally Bristol for such an outstanding message to the graduating class of 1986. Ms. Bristol was absolutely right when she said, “The real world has more rules and regulations.” This world awaits you with opened arms. Life is very challenging and it is significant of how you go about facing it. Have confidence in yourself, because the responsibilities are all yours. If you want to achieve the next rung on the ladder of success you must live by the rules and abide by the regulations. I am sure that the 81 graduates will make a clipping from the Rappahannock News, dated June 12, 1986 to add to their album, scrapbook, collection or whatever. This clipping may end up in the attic; pulled out in later years and they will have a quick flashback on the day they graduated from Rappahannock High School. Ms. Bristol and her message to them will surface. The class of 1985 will not be so fortunate. Surely in their little humble hearts and brilliant minds they shall never forget their keynote speaker and the highlights from the message. Sadly to say that they have nothing for their album or scrapbook to pass on. Mission accomplished — first step into the “real world.” CORINA FOUNTAIN Front Royal Rebutting the rebuttal To the editor: I refer to Werner Krebser’s personal attack on me in your issue of June 19. As to whether Werner Krebser or Robert Eastham tells the truth in regard to public affairs, why not let the people of this county decide the issue? I invite Krebser to run for elective office — any elective office — in Rappahannock County. Krebser seems to like public office; let him earn one thfe old fashioned way. Then he will get directly the public input he claims to cherish. He will learn how much he is respected and loved and by whom. Especially among his own neighbors in Wakefield District. It’s a shame that a man who appreciates classical music has to be this way. Krebser did waste his time in attempting to rebut my previous letter. Who among us is going to believe that President Reagan is an advocate of increased public spending and the author of the resulting deficits? With the House Democrats fighting him every step of the way, the president has strengthened our national security to ensure the future safety of us all in an increasingly dangerous world. This is what our children who must live in that world, will remember — gratefully. As the President himself has suggested, “Tell it to the Marines,” Werner Krebser. ROBERT W. EASTHAM Flint Hill The plight of modern times By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Poets and other writers know that it is easier to produce a work of trouble, sorrow and lament than one of laughter and joy. The most one can hope to do is to be both humorous and rueful — persuade people to laugh at their absurdity. Looking for a contemporary poem voicing today’s concerns in a recognizably modem world, I found Bum Out by Brian O’Neill, a man new to publication, working as poetin-the-schools in Indiana. His title we have come to associate with people giving up from working at a demanding, often discouraging job. O’Neill uses “bum out” to portray also the reason for his feelings, the over-riding interest of high school students in speeding in cars, in burning up the rubber on the roads. He says one particular boy, George Galloway, is the envy of everyone — troopers can’t catch him. On first reading the poem, I was puzzled because George Galloway has false teeth — is he an old man? Then I recalled how someone told me she had heard of a student getting a set of false teeth for graduation — that the poor teeth of many young people symbolize the junk food they have grown up eating. Of especial irony for O’Neill is the idea that “Everyone wants to be Galloway, to speak the language of gesture , to be the image itself without words” because for the poet, the image is composed of words, while for today’s youth, besides the dare-devil driver, the image is probably something on a TV screen. And teacher Brian O’Neill, no matter what he tries, can’t interest the students. How is a fellow to justify his function when he has to compete with speeding and necking? Instead of lamenting the vagaries of death, poet O’Neill regrets the acid rain in the auto-polluted air, eating up the tomb stones and damaging the trees. As we know from news accounts, acid rain is eating up all human monuments from all time, the Pyramids, the Parthenon, Can terbury Cathedral. Will modem life be the death of literary monuments as well? Burn Out Gutted by boredom the room collapses. Rows of vacant eyes have dreamed themselves, out to the parking lot and luxuriate like cats in sunlight on the hoods of American cars Trans Ams and aging Cougars. You remember the throb filling the arch of your foot spilling up your leg like a tongue and up until the cave behind your eyes rang. George Galloway, the sledge man, claimed the rubber he laid smoked til morning and would not wash out. Galloway changed roads every night a step ahead of the troopers and took out his teeth before driving hard, having spent good money on them, and told us how bad the farmers hated him, how the tire whine woke them at three A.M., the troopers on the wrong road again, how up all night he came back in the morning with his teeth in to admire his tracks. Farmers plowing around shifted to neutral, their eyes heavy from interrupted sleep, and contemplated sending a pound of salt into Galloway’s backside. Everyone wants to be Galloway, to speak the language of gesture, to be the image itself without words. Everyone needs a gallon of gas. Everyone works for low wages. Their heads bob in and out of sleep. Poetry will not get them Out of the house of night. It will not park them at the far end of Spencer Cemetery where White River bends beloiv Whitehall Pike and lovers set loose their hormones, where even on windless nights the tree limbs sigh while the names cut in stone groiv fainter in the acid rain. Supervisors adopt $4.7 million county budget By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer “It’s not the best but it’s better than we might have expected,” commented Supervisor Charles Estes, as the Board of Supervisors on Monday adopted an amended $4.7 million budget for 1986-87 and set tax rate at 58 cents per $100 of assessed value for real estate and $2.10 per $100 for personal property. The rate on personal property — applied only on licensed motor vehicles — will be as levied on 100 percent of finance value; last year’s rate of $5.60 was applied to just 25 percent of finance value. The change is expected to generate an additional $90,000 for Rappahannock’s general fund. This coupled with $151,899 drawn from surplus allows the board to keep the real estate rate as last year’s level without drastically reducing appropriation requests. The new budget projects a $300,000 general fund balance at the close of the coining fiscal year. In following accepted economic policy, the board has usually maintained a 5 percent surplus; the projected $300,000 represents an increase to seven percent, according to accountant Wally Cox. “But considering the landfill situation and the school construction project you have coming up, you may want to keep that surplus a little above five percent,” Mr. Cox told the board. Working from the judge’s bench, the accountant clicked off new totals on his adding machine as the supervisors reviewed budget requests for a final time. In accordance with rulings from the State Compensation Board, approximately $65,500 was cut from the Sheriffs Department, reflecting denial of requests for additional personnel, including another secretary, jailor, cook and part-time deputies. Mr. Cox noted that the action holds the Sheriffs Department to its cur rent staffing level. The supervisors turned thumbs up to Sheriff Woodward’s request for hospitalization insurance and thumbs down to repeater radios for six patrol cars. Under the Virginia Code, if health insurance is offered to one group of county employees, it must be furnished for all, Supervisor Estes pointed out. Supervisor Newbill Miller acknowledged that the law is unclear as to whether teachers — who are now provided health insurance benefits — are county employees. “It’s a gray area, but I don’t see how we can say logically that teachers aren’t county employees...If we don’t employ them, how come we set their salaries?” Should the issue is resolved through litigation and the courts rule that teachers are county workers, then Rappahannock may have to come up with money in midyear to provide the same hospitaliza tion benefits for the rest of its employees, Mr. Miller said. According to Sheriff Woodward’s budget presentation, the $10,000 for health insurance included in his department’s appropriation should be enough to pay the local share of premiums for all constitutional officers and their staff. The board gave unanimous approval to the Rappahannock Fire and Rescue Association’s request for $38,000 for insurance on vehicles, buildings and grounds owned by the county’s emergency service companies. “I totally support this,” announced Supervisor Nelson Lane. But none-the-less, he questioned the precedent set by “subsidizing volunteer efforts,” He relayed a complaint from one citizen “who helps as a volunteer for fire and rescue” and who wants to support emergency services as a volunteer with tax dollars but not with both. “Philosophically, I’m opposed to this,” agreed Supervisor Miller. “But we’ve got to appropriate the $38,000,” he said, noting the financial problem plaguing the county’s volunteer fire and rescue companies. “These are volunteer organizations that are keeping us from having to provide the same service,” Mr. Miller continued. “If they drop it all on us, we’re looking at another landfill situation!” “I hope this doesn’t continue to escalate in future years,” remarked Supervisor Lane, in making the motion to approve the $38,000 contribution for fire and rescue insurance. Approximately $135,000 was dropped from the welfare budget on Monday but the reduction represents a change in bookkeeping rather than in expenditures. In previous years, federal money for fuel assistance grants has not been shown in the local budget. The $75,000 was included this year, then deleted by the supervisors on Mon day. In addition, Mr. Cox reported that a line item listed as “supplemental budget” and representing “ADC” (aid to Dependent Children) payments has been cut from $93,135 to $15,135. In finalizing budgets for the building inspection and zoning administration, the board members agreed that those two departments will be housed, beginning in September, in the half of Douglas Baumgardner’s law office building now occupied by the Harris Hollow Fruit Company. Sandra Brown, the current part-time secretary for the building inspector, will work fulltime as secretary to both offices. In addition, the board upped Building Inspector Emil Smet’s hours from two days to three days per week and his pay from $10,626 to $15,939. Noting that he had recently attended a meeting on compliance with Continued on page 5

The meeting was held from June 12 through 15. Saturday morning A. H. Keyser spied a large red balloon hanging in the top of a cherry tree on his farm in Tiger Valley. He found a card attached to the balloon asking that the finder mail the card to Edgewood Recreation Park, Edgewood, Pa. The note was signed by Nancy Hiles with the explanation that a number of boys and girls had sent balloons aloft and the card returned with the most distant postmark would entitle the child who sent it to a prize. 20 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS From the June 23, 1966, edition Dame Fortune smiled on Mrs. Dorothy Davis of Washington, Va., Friday when she was awarded a check for $20,000, first prize in a national contest sponsored by the Coca Cola Bottling Co. in connection with their diet drink, Tab. The presentation was made at her home Friday afternoon with the press and radio newsmen present. To enter the contest, Mrs. Davis had filled in an entry blank from a 6-bottle carton of Tab which contained only her name and address and the name of her grocer, which in this case was Baldwin’s Grocery at Washington. She had made six entries us ing the names of different stores. Robert Lee Massie, Jr., son of Mrs. F. W.

For Information Call 1-800 KEEP ITT BZA Continued from page 4 the Uniform Statewide Building Code, Mr. Smet reported that the state now requires all blueprints be “very carefully examined” before a building permit is issued. That careful examination includes review of electrical, plumbing, mechanical and structural requirements, he said. “You don’t do that in a hour.” Mr. Smet said he’s asked state representatives at the BOCA meeting for an estimate on the time it takes to examine a blueprint and had been told three days. “Oh bull! I say bull!” responded Supervisor Lane, maintaining that blueprints for the average house could be reviewed in an hour or so. Maybe for the simple design plans that once were sufficient, but not for blueprints, Mr. Smet countered. “You mean to tell me that every private house built in this county has got to have a detailed set of prints approved first?” asked Supervisor Miller. “Yes sir,” the building inspector answered provoking muttered grumblings and groans. Showing his time and travel log sheets to the supervisors, Mr. Smet pointed out that he allows a half-hour per inspection, including travel. New state regulations have upped the number of required inspections for new construction from three to as many as seven, according to Mr. Smet. “I can’t do a closing inspection and then drive from Chester Gap to Boston or Sperryville in a half hour,” he said. “When am I going to examine blueprints?” he asked, holding in the air the time sheets that show every hour of his two working days allocated to inspection visits. “You have to inspect temporary electrical connections?” asked Supervisor Miller, looking over the logs. Yes sir, Mr. Smet replied, adding the the power company won’t connect a line to provide the builder with electricity at the construction site without his inspection. “The state code has changed a lot...drastically,” Mr. Smet said, “There’s no county that has any more control over any part of building...Sometimes I have to go back seven times for inspections. It depends on the size of the house and the nature of the construction...There is no time left right now for blueprint evaluation.” Mr. Smet found it easier to list what is omitted from inspection rather than what is included. Under the new state regulations, a building permit is not required for: • Painting a house, • Putting on a roof if the roof area doesn’t exceed 100 square feet, • Installing certain glass and specific doors, • Covering a floor or putting in a Sale Now In Progress Ends Sat.

In addition, the new regulations require that an inspection be completed within 48 hours of a request to the building office, he said. “Is it true that if somebody puts up a pole bam, you have to inspect the holes in the ground before the poles are tapped down?” asked Supervisor Lane. “Yes sir,” Mr. Smet required. He reported that the county can contract with BOCA or a private firm to review blueprints but that this outside service could take from one to tlu-ee weeks. “People walk in now with a set of blueprints, and they expect to walk out with a building permit,” he said, noting that Rappahannock is the only area county that provides this same day approval. “Most counties take one to two weeks...There’s no way I can examine a set of blueprints in an hour. I’m not going to put my name on it.” Zoning Administrator John McCarthy emphasized that the building inspector must have “pretty sound reasons” for signing off on a set of prints.” If the prints are approved without ensuring compliance with structural, electrical, mechanical and plumbing regulations, this poses “a serious liability question” for the county. Should an accident occur with death or injury resulting, and an investigation shows that the structure didn’t meet the building state code, “then it comes back to our door,” he cautioned. Supervisor Hubert Gilkey said that sending prints to BOCA to review would take at least a week and still not remove the county’s responsibility for insuring compliance with all building regulations. .

Main Front Royal 636-2020 J, i K chitectural firms “are going to accept the county’s liability,” Mr. Smet interjected. He related to an incident which occured near Sterling Park in neighboring Loudoun County. The deck for “a fashionable home” collapsed and a woman seven months pregnant lost her baby as a result of the accident. “The design had been approved by the building inspector...TTie county and the contractor were named in the suit,” he told the supervisors. Supervisor Estes complained of “double checks” with the blueprints and the actual construction both inspected by the local building official. “The General Assembly was trying to pass a law that would ensure safe housing,” said Supervisor Miller, of the new regulations. “Then the specifics were prepared by somebody else. That’s the problem. This just isn’t logical...What is your suggestion?” he asked Mr. Smet. r irst of all, 1 m trying to tell you that I can’t do a decent inspection in a half hour...My suggestion is that you add more time to the building office to do the job properly,” he said, requesting an additional day. The Supervisors agreed, giving Mr. Smet eight hours on Monday in addition to Tuesday and Thursday. Following the example of neighboring counties, Rappahannock should institute a fee for blueprint inspection, Mr. Smet added. “Absolutely,” agreed Supervisor Miller. “I’d like to see the fee schedule take care of this office.” The new fee schedule adopted by the board three months ago upped fees significantly in some cases, the inspector noted. Commercial inspection were $110; a recent applicant for a commercial building permit paid $1,233 for inspections under the new fee schedule, Mr. Smet said, citing one example. However, with the new rates in effect only a few months, he hesitated on projecting PIkxo courtesy of Mary E. Burke Out of the Attic SCHOOL SNAPSHOT of Rena Mae Burke Giles when she was 10 years old.

At the board’s request, Mr. Smet agreed to revise the schedule yet again to take care of increased costs in operating the building inspection department. At Supervisor Miller’s suggestion, the board also agreed to relay its objections on the new building regulations to the General Assembly and request Rappahannock’s representatives to seek changes to relieve the undue burden that these regulations place on small, rural counties.

We talked about the weather, the latesl news, and about life in general. Then, our conversation centered on faith. She told me the surgery was serious but she had no fear. “Sly roof is thatched,” she said, and smiled as she noticed wrinkles of question marks forming on her young pastor’s face. ‘Tour roof is what?" I stammered, searching for a handle of interpretation. She took my hand in both of hers. “My faith in God was birthed when I was a little girl, and it has been growing ever since. Even- day I have built my faith, and now that I face this unknown surgical Journey, I have no fear. Nothing can harm tne; nothing can scare me. My house of faith is firm, solid. 1 have covered the roof of my life with the teachings of God’s word,” and she took a deep breath, then called my attention to the beauty of the day reflecting itself outside her window. “My roof Is thatched.” Copyright 1986 Keister Williams Newspaper Services P O Box 8005, Charlottesville.

Unexpected Va. funds gives local schools extra $94,500 By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer At a special pay-out session Wednesday, the last meeting in the current fiscal year, the Rappahannock School Board approved an $8,182 “bail out” for the cafeteria fund, a fill-up for gasoline and fuel oil tanks, a new calculator for the school bookkeeper, extra tires for the school bus fleet, and at the high school, a TRS 80 word processor for the office, a new public address system, lockers for the girls’ and boys'locker rooms, a sound system and stage curtains for the auditorium and replacements for the water damaged tiles in the front hall. Even with these final expenditures of fiscal 1986, the board will still return $45,825 to the county’s general fund. Superintendent Robert Estabrook explained that state payments, particularly sales tax revenue, came in much higher than anticipated. “We just don’t know until mid-May at the earliest and sometimes not until the end of June exactly what the state revenue will be,” he said. In addition to $48,708 left from the $3,010,509 total approved for 1985-86 by the Board of Supervisors, Rappahannock’s schools have received an extra $45,825. The $48,708 can be spent by the School Board; the $45,825 cannot since it is above and beyond what the supervisors authorized, Mr. Estabrook noted. In presenting a list of proposed expenditures, the superintendent explained that the cafeteria fund will end the year in a deficit without help from the board. That school food program showed a balance of $8,000 at the end of May. “But we had to cover the June, July and August payrolls. Through this year, we've had equipment to replace and difficulties with employees on sick leave. We’ve had to pay substitutes,” Mr. Estabrook reported. At the same time, a decline in enrollment has meant a reduction in the number of lunches sold while state and federal payments for the food program have been lower than anticipated, he said. Those factors — all beyond the control of food program supervisor Judy Burke — have combined to create the deficit, Mr. Estabrook said, noting that the additional $8,182 will leave the cafeteria account with a zero balance at the end of the fiscal year. In reviewing the superintendent’s suggestions, the School Board gave top priority to the cafeteria bail-out, followed by purchase of the calculator, gasolene and oil, the PA system, the word processor, new stage curtains and a sound system for the high school auditorium, replacement of the damaged tiles in the RCHS hall, new lockers and extra tires for the bus fleet. In spending for those items, the superintendent is to stay within the $48,708 left in total appropriated by the supervisors, the board directed. As to the $45,825 which the county will get from the state above that appropriation, it will be returned to the general fund. “That is money we have no control over. We can’t build that money into our budget because we don’t know how much we’ll get (when the budget is being formulated),” said School Board Chairman Beverly Massie. “The money comes as educational funds; it’s labeled educational funds. But we’re not able to use it as educational funds. It has to be returned to the county treasurer. “I feel I’m about as conservative as you’ll find,” Mrs. Massie continued. “I don’t believe in spending money for the sake of spending money.” Referring to the expenditures approved at the pay-out session, she acknowledged that critics will insist that all the money should have been returned to the general fund. “But if you don’t keep up the buildings . . . you cannot run an effective school system.” Of the $45,825 from the state earmarked for education that will go instead to the general fund, Mrs. Massie said:“I feel very badly for the children because we’re not able to use those funds...Therefore, I’d like the School Board to give serious thought in the years to come to asking the supervisors to put aside this money to be used for school needs...for educational purposes,” the chairman concluded. Assurances from the supervisors that state money allocated for education could be carried over into the next fiscal year and spent for education would “give the School Board credibility, too,” Mrs. Massie noted. “Then we wouldn’t have to schedule a pay-out meeting just to spend left over money.” Even though the expenses are valid and necessary, she said, the process may create an erroneous, unfavorable impression with the public. Rappahannock talent on stage ByTHERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock News Special Writer New acts have auditioned and old favorites will return to the annual revue of Rappahannock talent, on stage this Saturday at the Gay Street Theater for the 10th year. Producers Lisa and Stuart Eiland say there will be some surprises yet to audition for the popular local showcase, but so far they have a good assortment of acts. Dancers appearing will be Herbert Shenk, with his acrobatic dance routine, Angie Howard and her young students, and mysterious Anthea, an American belly dancer. There will be something for every musical taste among the singers: the Eclectics, the Lemon Sisters, Jimmy Freeman, Jeffrey Scott, and David (“Scratch”) Clanagan and Free Spirit, entertaining the crowd with selections ranging from Motown to blues, comedy, ballads and gospel. Van Vaselka will be there to read his original poetry and Sherry Burke will play a piano solo. There will be a nod to the past with taped selections from past talent shows and special homemade refreshments on sale before the production. Tickets will be on sale at the box office on Saturday. The Eilands suggest that the audience plan to arrive before the 7:30 curtain, both for the refreshments and because this popular production usually plays to a capacity crowd. The Gay Street Theater is located on Gay Street in Washington. r STORE WIDE SA DURING THE CO-OP INVENTORY REDUCTION SALE ALL THE POPULAR SEASONAL MERCHANDISE AT SUPER-LOW PRICES!

Mr. Forman’s conditions for granting the extension were elaborated on in a letter from Culpeper attorney Butch Davies, who represents Mr. and Mrs. Updike, owners of Community Trash. According to the letter, which was read at Friday’s meeting, the slope of the proposed 10-foot elevation at the dump site can’t be greater than 3:1. In addition, the supervisors must resolve to provide “a county-approved landfill by July 1, 1987.” After that deadline, “the state has made it clear that no further extension (at the Clark property) will be granted,” Mr. Davies wrote. Supervisor Chairman Hubert Gilkey noted that he’d found a second letter from Mr. Davies taped to his front door earlier that evening. In the second communication, Mr. Davies reported that he’d been telephoned by David Konick, attorney for landowners adjoining the Clark property. “David Konick believes that the 10-foot elevation increase is subject to the Zoning Appeals Board’s approval,” Mr. Davies wrote. “He indicated that it was not included on the site plan, and he would request an injunction to stop it. . . He indicated that he would institute an action in Federal court outlining problems with the existing landfill and request that it be closed pending evaluation.” Mr. Davies conceeded the validity of the contention that authority to approve the 10-foot elevation may rest with the BZA, not the Board of Supervisors. “The second point raised is one which would be very expensive both to the county and to my clients. Federal court is not where either of us want to be,” he maintained. The Culpeper attorney reported that he and Mr. Konick had forged a compromise for the supervisors to consider. “David Konick wants an assurance by the Board of Supervisors that the Clifton Clark location will not be utilized as a landfill by Rappahannock County after July 1, 1987. Given the present situation and the efforts which are being made by the Board, this would appear to be a reasonable stipulation,” Mr. Davies wrote. In accordance with the compromise, Mr. Konick presented the supervisors with a resolution on Friday. The resolution noted that the special use permit granted by the BZA for the Clifton Clark property landfill was to be only “temporary,” although in fact the landfill has been operated there for nine years and is proposed to be extended for another year. The resolution stipulates that the landowners represented by Mr. Konick will not challenge continuation of the existing landfill if the supervisors agree to locate “the new Rappahannock County landfill . . . somewhere other than on the Clifton Clark property.” In addition, the board must pledge that it will not seek “to acquire all or any portion of the Clark property for use as a sanitary landfill, by eminent domain proContinued on page 16 Ruritans celebrate 25 years of service to Rappahannock By J.E. MCCULLOUGH Rappahannock News Special Writer “Cousin Terry” “Bumble Bee” “Snake Eyes” “Billygoat" This is how roll call goes every month for one of Rappahannock’s most prestigious civic groups, the Amissville Ruritan Club. The roll doesn’t sound prestigious not with the likes of Chocolate Pudding, Bing, King George, Ott, C. G., Hardrock, 4 o’clock, Chestnut, Shampoo, Butcher Boy, Ottie, Double Joint, Night Owl, and Tardy. But the traditional roll call of nicknames is the only thing these dedicated men joke about. The Amissville Ruritan Club, the first member of Ruritan National in this county, has been servicing Rappahannock for 25 years. “Ours is a group of people interested in the welfare of the community,” says President Jerry Curtis. In 1961 Hugh Light, a member of the Calverton Ruritan Club, contacted a friend in Amissville and persuaded him to gather a group together in a club. This club’s purpose would be to create better understanding between rural and urban people and, through volunteer community service, make Rappahannock a better place to work and live. Light’s friend was Aubrey Curtis. He remembers that only eight guys showed up for that first meeting, but by the next gathering 22 people had joined (satisfying the Ruritan National requirement of 20). That same year the club began what has become a tradition in the county: the Ruritan’s Beef Bar-B-Q. This year the barbecue will be held on Saturday, July 5th, at the Amissville Fire Department hall. This is the Ruritan’s major fundraiser, and with the money they offer scholarships, help the needy, and make donations to causes such as aid for the flood victims in West Virginia last year. “Our barbecue is rather unique because we use a pit instead of a grill, or open fire,” says vetem Ruritan Terry Terhune of Viewtown. The Ruritan’s pit Bar-B-Q is very similar to a New England Clambake and involves about 130 man hours of work. The pit is three feet long, eight feet wide, and four feet deep. At 10 a.m. the day before the feast three members of the Ruritans start the fire and cover it with about 500 pounds of stone. At nine or 10 p.m. that night after a bed of coals has started to glow7, the tips of sirloin wrapped in aluminum foil and burlap sacks are placed into the pit. The pit is then covered with plywood and dirt and left overnight. Then the following morning the meat is removed and prepared for the 300-400 guests expected that afternoon. Mr. Terhune explains that even after 25 years of barbecuing “we still have a lot to learn.” He says they use basalt rock because it gives the meat a wet cook w'hich tenderizes it. But last year they couldn’t get the gray rock so they used an available pile of quartz. The conductivity of the rock was different, so the meat was a little rare, he said. Also on July 5th at half past three the Ruritans will dedicate the Amissville baseball field to the memory of Captain Luther B. Stuart, who died November 20, 1980. Capt. Stuart had provided the land for the recreational use by the community up until his death. He wished to make available permanently, so in fulfilling his wish, Mrs. Stuart deeded the nine acres to the Amissville Ruritan Club, which had sponsored the first area little league baseball team in 1967. The only stipulations of the deed were that the baseball teams be given priority in usage. Improvement of this land is presently one of the Ruritans biggest projects. “One of our goals is to build a big clubhouse which would serve as a meeting hall for any interested clubs in the community,” says Jerry Curtis, current Ruritan president. In an article in 1977 celebrating the Ruritan’s 15th anniversary Mr. Terhune had likened this club “to numerous tiny streams, fed by drops of kindness, flowing into a gracious waterway that has refreshed many lives.” That waterway has gotten larger but the club still keeps with tiny streams. “Small things are testimonial to what we are all about. Community concern is our outlet,” explains Mr. Terhune. The Ruritans have always done little things that really mean a lot. Each year at Christmas they join the local churches to provide needy families with gift baskets of clothes, food and presents. They annually award a Rappahannock High School graduate with a scholarship. (The latest recipient of the Ruritans $200 award was Kenneth Jenkins). The Ruritans have also been there in emergencies. In 1973 an elderly couple’s house burned down, they had very little insurance; their future looked bleak. But through generous community donations and the work of seven Ruritan members, a new home was constructed in three months. On Christmas day in 1975, fire struck again, this time leaving a family of eight homeless. The Amissville Ruritans immediately contacted area radio stations and newspapers. The Ruritans collected $332 and gifts of over $1500 were made by area churches. The Amissville Ruritans are a tightly knit group; each person enjoys the company of his comrades. “One of the things that holds us together is the meal we have at every meeting,” says Mr. Curtis. “It promotes fellowship. A combination of farmers and businessmen getting together over a meal is a cement that holds this club together. ” Mr. Curtis says one of the. few problems with the group is that “we’re not getting younger people to carry on the tradition.” He explains that a person joins if he has some incentive to help the community. “This is the reason why older people join because they’ve lived here a while and want to give something back.” 1986SUBARU Beat the Price Increase!

School Welch attends Governor’s School Harold Welch of Flint Hill will be among more than 100 Virginia high school students who will soon get an opportunity to study various art forms with noted professionals during the 1986 Governor’s School for the Arts at Radford University. Scheduled for June 29-July 26, the juniors and seniors from across the state will work in their area of expertise including music, art, theatre, dance and radip. A staff of 29 faculty members will direct the students. “What we’ve created is an arts community made up of students, working professionals, college and secondary teachers,” according to Bennett Lentczner, dean of the College of Visual and Performing Arts and director of the' Governor’s School. “Within each discipline it’s our intent to have students develop a better understanding of their own art as it relates to professional training,” he said. In addition to teaching, the professional artists will prepare for their own performances next season. This will provide students with a unique opportunity to observe professionals at work, Lentczner added. Faculty members also will present a public performance July 4 with an American theme. Lentczner described the faculty as an “excellent mix of creative people.” The group includes David Amram, internationally recognized composer, conductor and performer who has written more than 100 orchestral and chamber works, two cantatas and two operas; Deirdre Peterson, who recently completed her second national tour for the Guthrie Theatre as a workshop artist; violinist Sung-Ju Lee, who will compete in the International Tchaikowsky Competition in Moscow just prior to the Governor’s School, and New York artist Dorothy Gillespie, noted for her kaleidoscopic work found among international collections. Also teaching will be chamber Helmer awarded scholarship Kimberly Helmer >of Castleton was among 14 students awarded scholarships by Hagerstown Business College for the fall trimester. Miss Helmer, who is a 1986 graduate of Rappahannock County High School, received the Secretarial Science award. It is a reduced tuition award equal to between 20 and 50 percent of the tuition per term. The awards are based on academic achievement and potential. Consideration is also given to financial need. Miss Helmer is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Helmer of Castleton. Scouts going to Philmont Harry Kibler and Travis Sutherby of Washington will be among the 68 campers and eight leaders who will leave July 12 for the Philmont Scout Ranch, Cimarron, N. M. The Stonewall Jackson Area Council, Boy Scouts of America, of Waynesboro, will host a joint expedition with the Shenandoah Area Council of Winchester. Philmont is a 214 square mile camp located in northwestern New Mexico in the Sangre de Criston Mountains of the Rocky Mountain Range. More than 400,000 campers and leaders from around the United States have hiked the trails of Philmont and experienced this rugged outdoor adventure. Philmont offers the scout a memorable and exciting high adventure experience. Leaving July 12 from the Daniel Middle School, Winchester, the group will return August 1. The schedule will consist of five days travel time out, 12 days at Philmont and four days travel time home. The trip will include visits to many scenic and historic areas in approximately 20 states.

O musician and soloist Sato Moughalian, pianist Jaime Bolipata, a native of the Philippines and winner of the 1983 Young Concert Artists International Auditions, and Wendy Taucher, a choreographer and dancer in the Harkness Center for Dance in New York City. During the four-week school, the students will explore the interdisciplinary nature of the arts, Lentczner said. Students will meet three times a week for lectures and readings and at other times in small group seminars. “Recognizing the fact that the arts don’t exist in a society all by themselves,” Lentczner noted that other components will be brought into the program which will “show the students that artists think about other things than just art.” One new component is a writing program which will enable “these young artists to demonstrate their creativity in another tangible way,” he said.

WILLIAMS, SR., who departed this life 13 years ago, June 26,1973. Thirteen years ago on this day, God whispered "peace be thine” and called our loved one home. Without a word of good-bye to us, you were picked as one of the beautiful flowers from God’s garden of roses. This was God's plan when he felt you had finished what he placed you here for; to be a follower of his; a Christian man among all, and a friend and an inspiration to all that knew you. A good-bye would have been so painful for you and us. So with the touch of His breath He called you to be with Him, and to receive your reward. You will always be in our hearts and our minds each day. Your family DRIVERS NEEDED Wednesdays Only Must have own vehicle.

Rappahannock News photo/Greg Turner JOHN JACKSON PLAYING DOBRO with blues guitarist Doug Day of Charlottesville The occasion was the wedding of folklorist Chuck Perdue’s son Mark. Jackson honored as outstanding folk-artist Rappahannock native John Jackson was recently named as one of 13 National Heritage Fellows by the National Endowment for the Arts. Mr. Jackson is widely known as a master of the “Piedmont” style of folk music, which he learned during his boyhood in Rappahannock. He was born in 1924, the son of a tenant farmer, one of 14 children who lived on land once part of a plantation in ante bellum times. Mr. Jackson began playing music at the age of four on his father’s $4.98 flattop guitar. Music was an integral part of the Jackson family’s life, as it was part of the community’s life. There was of course music at church, but there were also dances and house parties. Even field work could be an occasion for music. Both of Mr. Jackson’s parents sang and played music. Mr. Jackson never was taught how to play his father’s guitar. He watched his father and figured it out for himself. Several years later, his father bought a Victrola. From that time on the young Mr. Jackson listened to the blues masters of the era. The music of Blind Lemon Jefferson, Blind Blake, Blind Boy Fuller and Jimmie Rodgers influenced the budding bluesman. John Jackson lived on the family farm in Rappahannock until he was 25, when he moved his wife Cora Lee and family to Fairfax. There he found work on another farm, work which he continues to do to support his family. It was not until 1962 that Mr. Jackson was “discovered” sitting in a gas station strumming his guitar. His chance meeting with folklorist Charles Perdue led eventually to five record albums and concerts in places as distant and diverse as London and Sri Lanka. Mr. Jackson’s music still reflects the myriad influences of his boy Fire Continued from page 1 Merrill s Garage ... I used to drive the school bus. It would cut off when I stopped to pick up the children, and the fella who worked on the buses for the county couldn't seem to fix it." "One day it quit — and I couldn’t get it started again. We had it towed to Merrill s. Goose worked on it for a few minutes and had it fixed. He was a good mechanic.” Steve Leake agreed. "In his prime he was one of the best auto mechanics around. He was there (at Merrills Garage) from the time I was big enough to remember.” "Goose always had a joke for you. He was a happy-go-lucky fellow. I never heard him have so much as a cross Word with anyone,” Mr. Leake added. “He was a good person,” Mr. Woodard concluded. "He was willing to help anyone, and he always appreciated what people did for him.” Mr. Pullen is survived by his mother, Virgie Alther Pullen, of Sperryville. He also leaves two sisters, seven children and seven grandchildren.

The “Piedmont” style is a com-^ bination of country music, ragtim^j gospel and the blues which defies any category and differs in its composition with each artist. John Jackson is also recognized as one of the few living bluesmen who can play the blues on a banjo.' One of his peers, Joe Wilson, said, “He comes from a place and a time when, if you needed good entertainment, you had to make it yourself because you couldn’t make it any other way. John makes music the way his wife, Cora Lee, makes pickles — realizing that what they make is much better than what you could buy.” Frank Hodsoll, chairman of the Endowment for the Arts, said of the fellowship recipients, “The Fellowships honor artists representing the many different cultures, races and traditions that encompass America's cultural kaleidoscope. Through their work these special artisans and craftsmen continue to enrich this country by preserving our roots. In honoring these fine artists of American folklife, we celebrate the cultural diversity of our nation as we recognize their outstanding contribution to it." This is the fifth year in which the $5,000 stipends have been awarded to “exemplary master folk artists” by the National Endowment for the Arts. Nominations are made by citizens, and the final decisions are made by a panel of the artists’ peers. The criteria for selection for a Fellowship include “authenticity, excellence and importance of their work within their artistic field. The NUGGETSOFTRUTH By REV. ANDREW SMITH FAMILY WORSHIP CENTER, WASHINGTON, VA. THE CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE (Part 2) "Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverance her husband." (Ephesians 5:33) From this and other scriptures we can see one outstanding trait of a good Christian marriage, respect for one another. But what does it mean to respect one another? First, it means to value your mate. A husband that truly loves his wife with the God kind of love will see and appreciate the priceless worth of his mate. Let me ask you husbands. Do you treasure your wife as a gift from God or has she become a second class person to you? How about you wives? It is sad that the one person who should mean the most to us in life often becomes the object of our anger or indifference. But God's love in us can change that. Second, to respect means to hold in high regard. In fact the scripture tells us that we are to “esteem other better than themselves." (Philippians 2:3) Here is an easy way to check whether you actually esteem you spouse better than yourself. Ask yourself, "Is my mate's welfare more important to me than my own?" The bottom line is this, your partners success should mean more to you than your own. How refreshing it is to see a mar- j ried couple who deeply love and re- « sped each other: a husband who j cherishes his wife and a wife who re- ! spects her husband as the head of \ the marriage. That is the type of mar- j riage that God will bless. J Have you asked God to take con- ! trol of your life and marriage? j If we can help you with your mar- j riage or your spiritual life please call ? us. 987-8505. « < j Phone 987-8505 $ (Mailing address: Rt. 1, Box 266 { Sperryville, Va. 22740) j -pominees must also be actively participating in their art form, and deserving of national recognition,” according to Katherine Christie, spokesman for the Endowment. Bess Hawes, director of the Folk Artk_Erogram for the Endowment, _added tpat “to date we have recognized 60 artists of outstanding achievement whose mastery of traditional art forms is indicative of the wide range of cultures that live and thrive within the borders of this country. By recognizing the significance of their contribution, we also acknowledge the importance of preserving the local cultures which add so greatly to the vitality and spirit of our nation.” The National Heritage Fellows will be honored at a special ceremony at the Capitol on September 11.

Newbill Miller. “We renewed their contract and consequently the Updikes had to go to the state (for an extension of the existing landfill site) so they could meet their contract,” replied Supervisor Chairman Gilkey, noting that the resolution from the board is a condition of that extension. l don t understand why he would grant an extension to a private individual and not to the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors,” replied Mr. Miller. “I think the proposal for extending the landfill on the Clark property raises a lot of issues — political issues, zoning issues and environmental issues,” said Mr. Konick. However, he confirmed that his clients will not challenge that extension if the board gives the requested assurances. He conceeded that the board is concerned, “and rightly so . . . You don’t want to sign something that locks you in . . . We’re not trying to threaten the county,” he maintained, saying that the information conveyed in Mr. Davies’ second letter covered only “points that were raised.” “I think the letter is a little threatening. We don’t want to be threatening,” Mr. Konick said. He described his clients as “good sports” who had dropped opposition to the privately owned and operated landfill back in 1977 when assured by “various county officials” that the arrangement was only temporary. i hey said two years. It’s been nine years. Now you’re looking to extend it for at least another year. And we’ve also heard that the county is going to seek for a larger, different (solid waste disposal) site on the same property. “We want it in writing what prior Boards of Supervisors assured these people. If the board wants citizens to cooperate with it. . . it’s a two-way street,” Mr. Konick continued. “When you give somebody assurances, you have to make a good faith effort to live up to them ...

They’ve gone seven extra miles and they’re prepared to go eight,” if the supervisors adopt the resolution, he said. Delbert Price, chairman of the board’s solid waste advisory committee, asked the Supervisors to take care that they don’t “close the option of shipping trash out of here.” He repeated his committee’s conclusion: that Rappahannock should give first priority to contracting with a resource recovery facility to accept the county’s solid waste. “I hope this resolution doesn’t commit you to opening a landfill here . . This whole thing assumes that you’re going to open another landfill in this county.” He reminded the Board that “state law doesn’t say you must have a landfill — just that you must provide for solid waste disposal. Supervisor Miller affirmed that the board “has not intent of using the Clifton Clark property for a landfill past July 1,1987.” As for giving assurances to Mr. Konick’s clients, “I see no need for anything other than a simple paragraph stating just that,” he said, adding that “four or five things (in the prepared resolution) raise a red flag.” As an example, he cited the stipulation that the Clark property landfill won’t be used past expiration of its existing permit. “Suppose Mr. Forman says that’s tomorrow?” "If he does, that’s it,” Mr. Konick replied. “Well, he may or may not be able to enforce it,” Supervisor Miller countered. “Mr. Forman wants a resolution passed by this board that says you’re going to have a landfill in operation. .. If the county doesn’t want to meet that condition, then Mr. Forman won’t extend the landfill and Community Trash can’t fulfill it’s contract,” Mr. Konick cautioned. He repeated that his clients stand will not put any obstacles in the way of Community Trash fulfilling its con tractual obligations provided the Supervisors resolve not to use the Clark property as a landfill after July 1, 1987. He added that he had no objections to changes in the wording of the two-page resolution as long as that end is accomplished. “I move we accept this resolution in the same spirit its been presented, have our attorney review it and make a decision by July 1 or as soon thereafter as possible,”. sug gested Supervisor Charles Estes. His motion passed 4-0 with Mr. Miller abstaining. “Mr. Forman is not going to approve the closure plan without a piece of paper from this board saying you will have a landfill site by July 1, 1987,” Mr. Konick warned. “Any thing we do in this regard should come directly from Mr. Forman, not indirectly,” Supervisor Miller said, pointing out that all the board’s information as to the Health Department official’s conditions comes secondhand. Mr. Miller also questioned whether the Supervisors should approve the 10-foot elevation. “The Board of Zoning Appeals issued the permit (for the landfill) originally.” Mr. Konick cautioned against further delay. He said he’d “gotten the impression” from Mr. Forman that approval for the extension on the Clark property must be finalized before new regulations governing landfills go into effect on July 1. “I think the Board should act as quickly as possible on this. I don’t know if it would effect my clients in a negative fashion if you don’t,” he told the Supervisors. “But I don’t know how the new regulations will effect Mr. Forman’s ability to grant this extension.” “Don’t you think we ought to get information directly from Mr. Forman?” asked Supervisor Miller. “I think you should definitely meet with Mr. Forman, whether the landfill is going to be on the Clark property or on XYZs property, you’re still going to have to meet the same regulations,” interjected Mr. Price. “It’s going to be very, very expensive to operate a landfill under the new regulations,” he noted, maintaining that both the public and the supervisors should have more information on options for solid waste disposal before a decision is reached. In agreeing to meet with Mr. Forman at the earliest possible date (Wednesday, June 25, at 9 a.m. in the clerk’s office), the supervisors noted that once they propose a landfill site, it must be evaluated and approved by various agencies, including the Health Department and State Water Control Board, in a lengthy process that could — by Forman’s own admission — take as long as 18 months. “He’s asking us to make a commitment to do something we don’t have total over,” concluded Supervisor Miller.

Shenandoah National Park Celebrating 50 years, 1936-1986 tete ftappafjannocfeijetos June 26,1986 President Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke at the park dedication ceremony July 3,1936 at Big Meadows ~Photo Cour,esy of Shenan<ioah National Park George Pollock led the way to the park By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer k President Herbert Hoover built a school and established a “Summer White House” in the mountains which were to become Shenandoah National Park. Sen. Harry F. Byrd Sr. vacationed and honeymooned there at his family’s “Bird’s Nest” cottage, and later, as governor of Virginia, he led the drive to acquire land for a park in the Blue Ridge Mountains. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, speaking before 5,000 assembled at Big Meadows on July 3, 1936, dedicated the park’s 1,76,429 acres “to the present and sueceedmg generations of America . . . presenting the beauty and wealth of the hills, and the mountains and the plains and the trees and the streams.” But the three statesmen played only bit parts in the birth of a park. The starring role belonged to a showman — George Freeman Pollock, a little giant who dreamed big dreams and staged mountain top extravaganzas worthy of P. T. Barnum. He charmed snakes, keeping as many as five rattlers loose in the bathroom of his Skyland cottage, and he charmed politicians, winning them over to his plan for a national park in the Blue Ridge Mountains. As a boy in Washington, D. C., Mr. Pollock preferred nature’s classroom to the schoolhouse. He played hookey more often than he played student, skipping reading, writing and arithmetic lessons to go hunting, fishing, camping and hiking in the woods with Dicky Daddies, his beagle. “I longed for the wilderness and for adventure, and all efforts to interest me in anything else failed,” he recalled in his autobiography, Skyland: The Heart of the Shenandoah National Park. To escape the tedium of the desk and blackboard, he convinced the Smithsonian’s chief taxidermist to take him on as an unpaid assistant. He learned quickly, graduating from skinning specimens to collecting small animals in the field. But the nearby countryside ot Virginia and Maryland proved too tame for the young adventurer. From his father, he learned of Stony Man Mountain. The senior Pollock was a major shareholder in the Miners Lode Copper Co., a failed copper mining and smelting venture in the wilds of the Blue Ridge. The 5,371 acres claimed by the company had been abandoned to mountaineers and trespassing entrepreneurs from the valley who were stripping the heights of chestnut and oak tanbark, toppling chestnuts for railroad ties and pasturing cattle on hillside meadows. Mr. Pollock’s father suggested a collecting and hunting expedition to the old mining territory. “I started out in October of 1886, at the age of 16, with my collecting outfit, shotgun and beagle hound for Page County, Virginia, with no further information than that the tract was located on a mountain called Stony Man,” Mr. Pollock wrote. With a local landow ner who had once boarded mine workers as his guide, Mr. Pollock walked through Kettle and Dry Run canyons to the towering Stony Man peak. “Climb, climb and climb; up, up and up, as though we were going into the sky,” he wrote. “The wind blew hard, and it was cold, but I did not feel it, and what a view! ... I raved and shouted and probably would have yodelled if I had known how to yodel.” He proclaimed it a veritable paradise on earth. “Then and there I made up my mind to consecrate my life to the development of this, my father’s land.” The collecting of small animals forgotten, he returned to Washington where he put on his first show. “Waving my arms and gesticulating, I pictured, in the best language I could command, the beautiful scenery I had observed.” His theatrics persuaded the senior Pollock and two business partners to visit Stony Man; they returned convinced that its sparkling springs, glorious sunsets and majestic views — within 90 miles of the capitol — could be turned into a profitable resort. From the start, young Pollock recognized the importance of winning friends among the mountain people. While work progressed on a sawmill, a livery stable and a road to the camp site, he worked to overcome the suspicion and distrust of flatlanders. He visited their homes, told funny stories, plucked his banjo and sang. He let them fondle his corduroy coat with its blue mackinaw lining. .— — —• »- -t. .-• - r.-vw# George Pollock and his dog “Ming Toy” on “Prince” in 1929 He carried his new Kodak up the mountain and paid the young men to pose. For Old Man Aaron Nicholson, the King of the Free State Hollow, he spelled “scissors,” earning both respect and fresh brook trout with the feat. But he didn’t depend solely on the good will of the local folk for security. Mr. Pollock advertised in the metropolitan papers for “the most savage dog in Washington. One that will really bite and is actually dangerous. ” According to the account in Sky land, he got an answer from the Georgetown junk man, who offered a mastiff weighing 150 pounds. Reportedly, the brute had belonged to an Army officer in Arlington until he’d killed every dog in the neighborhood. Mr. Pollock took Old Dutch home in muzzle and chain. For two days, he let the huge beast go hungry. Then from the safety of an upstairs window, he tossed down small pieces of beef while commanding Dutch to come. Before long Old Dutch was wagging his tail and looking quite friendly. With the last piece of meat in my hand, I went out into the yard and as he ran toward me, wagging his tail, I fed him, patting him and walking around the yard with him,” Mr. Pollock related in his autobiography. But even with Old Dutch on guard, Mr. Pollock’s horse was poisoned. Plagued by financial troubles, he lost the sawmill equipment and the horses for the livery stable. His beloved dogs were attached for outstanding debts. His father contracted pneumonia and died, and a few weeks later, a fire — believed to be arson to cover up burglaries — destroyed all the buildings at Stony Man Camp. But he persisted. He welcomed the spring of 1884 by advertising a camping party on Stony Man Mountain. Tents went up, a dining hall and cabins were built and the camp was christened Sky land. His lawyer counseled impressive authority and so he turned himself — all 116 pounds — into a miniature Teddy Roosevelt. He wore high boots, fringed corduroy trousers and a fringed corduroy hunting shirt that hung almost to his knees. He strapped a .45 revolver around his waist, and he capped the costume with a ten-gallon hat. Dressed for the Battle of San Juan Hill, he fought for Stony Man Mountain, fending off creditors and tax collectors with one hand and drunken mountain men. “I started out in October of 1886, at the age of 16, with my collecting outfit, shotgun and beagle hound for Page County, Virginia, with no further information than that the tract was located on a mountain called Stony Man.” wild pigs, marauding cows, forest fires and loggers with the other. He worked magic at Skyland. The food set on the tables in the dining hall rivaled that of the finest restaurants. There was plain country cooking — Virginia ham, southern fried chicken, Shenandoah bass, brook trout, “Country Gentleman” on the cob, combread, yams, apples, gravy and biscuits. And there was fancy cooking, delicacies rarely seen in the Blue Ridge Mountains — little neck clams, cherrystones, soft shell crabs, broiled live lobster, scallops and Mexican hot chicken tamales “served by Mexicans in true Texas fashion.” Ever the showman, Mr. Pollock combined dining with theatrics. “I remember with particular pleasure the Sea Captain’s Dinner held on August 13, 1912,” Mr. Pollock wrote. “One great banquet table was arranged in the form of a horseshoe, and around it were assembled fully 100 guests. “Some of the gentlemen and I wore ship’s officers’ uniforms, the ladies wore fancy gowns and the waiters were dressed as sailors. There were portholes arranged in the upper windows, and to make this dinner more realistic, I had an old engine installed under the dining hall floor which, as it steamed away, caused vibrating sensations and noises similar to those on board a ship.” There were Louisiana gumbo picnics, card parties, fancy dress cake walks, sunrise parties and moonrise parties and huge bonfires that burned 300 cords of wood at a time. At Skyland, the Caliph of Bagdad and his daughters paraded, gypsies danced, fortune tellers read palms and cards, knights jousted and orchestras played until dawn. Every summer, Mr. Pollock directed a “Barn Yard Spectacle,” his version of country fun. The recreation hall was dusted with sawdust and its walls and ceiling decorated with com stalks, pumpkins and farm produce from Skyland’s huge garden. One side of the hall was fenced into pens for flocks of live chickens, turkeys and ducks. Fat milk cows and ponies ate hay in a corner. Hired help dressed as farm hands, southern tobacco planters with goatees, flowing mustaches and red-topped boots, New England farmers with red beards and wrinkled faces, old mammy cooks and sweet country maids. Extras led sheep dogs and stirred apple butter in a huge copper kettle. The “Hey-Rube Band” played and after the dancing, the 100 or so guests competed in apple-bobbing and cow milking contests, horse and foot races. But the most elaborate of Mr. Pollock’s spectacles was “The Wedding of Wetona.” According to the program for this annual extravaganza, the Big Chief of Stony Man Camp dreamed of how Hawksbill, the brave chief of the Rappahannock tribe, celebrated with a great pow-wow the marriage of his daughter Wetona, the most beautiful of Indian maidens. The yellowed program in the park’s archives preserves both script and stage directions for this drama. It tells how Mr. Pollock as Medicine Bull, the tribe’s medicine man, prepared a sweet smelling brew' containing much firewater w'hile the Indian braves w'ho were suitors for Wetona’s hand brought their offers of ponies. Their bags of sticks, each stick representing a pony, w7ere delivered to an authentic encampment with Indian teepees built of poles and bark and canvas wigwams decorated with skins and spears. Squaw's prepared fish, dressed fowl and rabbit and cooked scones of cornbread over the small campfires as Skyland’s guests watched from a circle around the Indian village. “Ugh! Hawksbill be great chief. Hawksbill he have heap fine daughter and heap good braves. Hawksbill he feel much happy tonight,” announced the chief as he welcomed the visitors. With war whoops and hoopla, the braves arrived on horses bedecked with war paint and feathers. With more whoops and hoopla, they were followed by Big Chief White Scout, the colonist who loved and was loved in return by Wetona. He was “heap big chief of heap big tribe of White Man, and he be heap friendly with Indian Chief Hawksbill.” As the medicine man counted the ponies offered for his daughter, Hawksbill acknowledged that "all big chiefs must lose papoose some day.” Maidens danced to tom-toms, and when the count was finished. Big Chief White Scout was the winner with his proposal of 50 ponies. He wrapped his bride with a beautiful Indian blanket and held her while the singers finished a blanket chant and the medicine man led a joy dance around the fire, handing each dancer a cup of his choice firewater concoction. “Heap good white friends. Ugh! Heap brave Indians. Ugh! Heap good squaws. Ugh! Hawksbill now wish all at campfire to join in feast and be much happy,” the chief intoned, inviting the Skyland guests to eat. “As the great full moon rose higher in the sky, groups wound their way back to the settlement. By midnight, all was quiet and the spirit of Wetona and the great Hawksbill were at rest for another year,” the program concluded. With the same energy he put into his programs, Mr. Pollock lobbied the movers and shakers to choose the Blue Ridge as the site for a national park, playing host at Skyland to senators, congressmen, the governor of Virginia and upwards of 150 delegates to the annual National Conference of State Parks — all at his own expense. He was as successful as a lobbyist as he had been as a producer and director. The bill passed by Congress auSee Pollock, Page B-3

Some oversimplified the mountain culture “Sad the thought you must depart From the old mountain home Where life has been so sweet. Sad will be the rest of my life No longer here to stay, To drink at the springs Where the water is so cold Both in summer and in winter Flowing so full and so free. Sad and lonely is the thought To plant a tree in the valley At the age of seventy-three Just to hasten on death Of the tree in the valley." — John Nicholson for his father, 73, June 1,193i. By THERESA REYNOLDS Arundel Newspaper* Special Writer The mountain people, observed several visitors sympathetic to their way of life, did not know they were “mountaineers” until they were told. As the acquisition of the Shenandoah National Park dragged on, families who had always lived in the mountains could only partially practice the way of life they had inherited. They could not kill animals, cultivate new ground, or haul timber. As the day of resettlement approached, many families could not put in a garden or fatten their hogs. The coming of Skyland had encouraged new mountain industries: Begging, selling paper flowers to tourists and entertaining Skyland’s visitors. The development of the park accentuated this behavior, but those who really knew the mountain people knew how varied and productive their lives had been and still were in places removed from the tourist attractions. A social worker, Mozelle Cowden, who had studied virtually every family in the park area, wrote an essay in 1936 titled What Are They Like? She described a “typical” man’s life: “There are five persons in his family. He and his wife have between a first and fourth-year education. “He is a share renter, cultivating less than five acres. He lives too far away from school for his children to attend, and they go to church only occasionally, since no regular church services are held within reach. The family has good health, with the exception of bad teeth. The weight and height of the children are normal. “They live in a log house which is kept reasonably clean, and there are flowers around the door. They have canned fruit and vegetables, some dried apples and beans, at least ten gallons of kraut, potatoes, pumpkins and cabbage stored for winter use. They have a hog to kill for their winter meat, a few chickens, and a cow.” The first park superintendent, R. Taylor Hoskins, recalled many of the people he came to know personally in a 1969 interview: “The people were diverse in background, in character, in degree of prosperity or poverty. Lewis Willis was college-educated and was prosperous in his prime. Hunter Dodson as a boy helped plant com near Old Rag Mountain, not in fields or patches or rows but in tiny hills among the rocks wherever pockets of soil could be found — as Indians often did long before. “Two members of the Barbee family, with its home a short distance east of Thornton Gap, had become capable sculptors, one with an international reputation. Charlie Smith lived within walking distance of Skyland and kept pigs and chickens with him in his cabin; his father came here during the Civil War, fathered him, and then left.” Some of the people who “studied” the mountain people did so without first winning their confidence. People who lived up on the bluffs or back in the hollows may have been short on schooling but they were very able to make outrageous statements to strangers. Stories abounded in the national press about them being lazy, shiftless, murderous and inbred. There’s some evidence that George Pollock, although overall a sympathetic friend of mountain people, may have encouraged this misconception to entertain his guests. No one who lived with or dealt with the mountain people remembers them as some of the outside observers did. To a man, they’re remembered locally as being honest, hard-working and respectful. “I’d trust a mountain man sooner than one who lived in town,” said Charlie Estes, whose father ran a store and a mill that served the mountain community above Sperryville. “They’d bring down walnut kernels, struck (gutted) rabbits and dried apples. Think of how they’d work to get the cash they needed. They’d carry back coffee, salt, sugar and clothing, carry them way up over the mountain on foot.” “I’ve seen them walk over the mountain before daylight, if they got S'nm Lodging in a relaxed atmosphere amidst beautifully landscaped grounds in a park— like setting just 3 blocks from the Northern Entrance to Skyline Drive and the Shenandoah National Park.

Most of them used an ax, a broadax, a reaper and a cradle for farm tools.” “I’ve seen them grow com in a field so rocky that they had to carry the dirt into the field to cover it,” he said. Mr. Estes knew few incidents of violence: “Oh, there were some, among the moonshiners. They’d turn each other in and then get even. That was in some of the rougher hollows. I heard once where one moonshiner pushed another into the fire. ” The women canned and dried peaches, apples, beans and cherries, worked in the gardens, and churned butter. They dressed like the flatlanders of the previous generation in long black dresses and bonnets with aprons. Many of them smoked pipes, and Mr. Estes believes they were fond of moonshine. They could ride sidesaddle even on rough ground, or they walked down the mountain to his father’s store, sometimes five paces behind their husband. As tourists appeared, they sold berries*and quilts. Chestnut oak bark brought $8 a cord, locust posts brought 10 cents each, and water from Morris Spring brought 25 cents a pint. Compassion and respect for the mountain people was most evident in the writings of the very people there to evict them. The rangers did what they could to explain the situation and to ease the pain of transition. In the years before the final exodus, many concerned people made their way up the mountain, prompted mainly by a sense of sadness and sympathy for these proud and independent families whose way of life was doomed. Mountain neighbors One of these, Elizabeth J. Winn, was an extraordinary woman who founded “Mountain Neighbors,” a crafts collective similar to those existing now in West Virginia. Her idea was to revive some of the older mountain crafts for the women to make for sale. “As recently as 40 years ago,” Ms. Winn said, “the mountain women practiced many skilled handicrafts and were good at them. They wove all the cloth used by their families and were extremely skillful in the making of dyes from native plants ...” A rough existence — Photos Courtesy of Shenandoah National Park Lowland farmers wondered how those who farmed the mountain slopes could even stay in the fields because they were so steep (bottom right photo). Central to the mountain economy was the chestnut tree, and many cabins such as this (bottom left) one in Nicholson Hollow were constructed of “hand-rived” chestnut shingles. After most of the great chestnuts died, people would still use the wood from the dead trees until they were all gone. In Dark Hollow, the Cave family (top photo) renders lard after butchering hogs. The father, Ralph Cave, is stirring, and the mother, Elsie, holds baby John Cave. Lester Weakley is helping. Mountain names fit strange pattern As the “enumerators” scoured the hollows for facts about the families living there, they dug up some interesting information that didn’t seem to fit into any category. But reluctant to leave it out, they recorded even that data unnecessary for their resettlement survey. They found that pnly farmers in the Rappahannock portion of the mountains grew oats. In fact, people in the other counties before the park hadn’t even heard of oats. But in Rappahannock, any family with any smooth land raised oats. Names were fascinating, and they varied from county to county. The survey found: County boundaries are frequently or almost never crossed. ~ STEAKHOUSE 1I0MT I0IAI.W lomS'W Serving the finest steak in the Shenandoah Valley Full menu. . .mixed beverages Two locations to serve you.

^ June zo, I Vob Misunderstandings plagued mountaineers’ resettlement RyTHERESA REYNOLDS Arundel Newspapers Special Writer When Virginia completed its immense donation of land to the Shenandoah National Park after years of acquisition, there was one gigantic complication: 2,306 people living on the land, people for the most part without title, without outside resources, and without a great deal of knowledge of the world below their hollow. As the state prepared to deed the land, the Park Service declared that it could not accept the property with the people still living on it. When Franklin D. Roosevelt became president, those involved with the park hoped that federal emergency relief funds would be used for relocation. Meanwhile, residents and the rangers who had come to feel responsible for them waited in limbo. Those residents who hadn’t made plans for their own departure were asked to sign a “special use permit” allowing them continuing residence in the park. The signature of the head of each household signified an “agreement to promptly vacate the premises at the expiration of the authorization.” The permit said that the eviction date would be after the harvesting of crops to mature during the 1934 growing season, no later than Nov. 1. There was a lot of confusion about whether new crops could he planted, orchards sprayed or cattle grazed on the fields. Many families refused to sign the special use permits, and some families lived so far back that they were simply unknown to the administrators. And the families didn’t always stay in the same spot. Some moved to the better houses as the families there made their own arrangements and left the park. New families were started in conveniently vacant houses. S. H. Marsh, author of Virginia’s Largest Jig-Saw Puzzle reports that, in Rappahannock County, a large hollow settled by seven families had been entirely deserted. This was a prosperous hollow, with good land, houses, barns and outbuildings in reasonably good shape, but there was no one there. One home had many furnishings remaining inside. A commission called the Division of Subsistence Homesteads studied the situation of the mountain people. The commission became convinced that many of the residents could not relocate themselves but that planned “homesteads” would fill their needs. Eleanor Roosevelt became involved with the mountain people, pushing for homesteads that would offer more conveniences to their tenants. 1 hen there was a new committee — one with Virginia government department heads. This committee, using the information from Ferdinand Zerkel’s little black book, formulated a plan to build 340 homes. There was a sense of urgency, as it was time to transfer the property to federal government. The organizers asked for $460,000 for their project, expecting the funds from Federal Emergency Relief and from the Federal Subsistence Homesteads Corporation. Looking back, it becomes clear that in spite of being studied over and again, the mountain dwellers were not understood very well by some of their well-meaning benefactors. The committee was correct in acknowledging that those who hadn’t made their own arrangements to leave by 1934 wrere either not going to, didn’t want to, or were unable to. They were correct in estimating that they would need outbuildings for cows, poultry, pigsty and privy. The independence and the love of isolation was what the analysts missed; they assumed that these people, living alone or with a few other families for generations, would love to have closer neighbors. For the most part, they were wrong. Land was chosen in Rappahannock, Madison, Greene, Rockingham and Page counties. In Ida Valley, near Luray, construction actually began, with 28 homesteads laid out. Then construction halted, mired in legal complications. Park residents were offered an extension and encouraged to plan for spring gardens. Finally, in April, a political maneuver by Gov. Peery allowed the work to begin again. The delays gave rise to more and more rumors among the residents and more distress among the rangers who brought wood and food to the trapped residents, living under edicts that gravely restricted their ability to survive. Mozelle Cowden, a social worker, tells a story about one such case: “One of them, Bemie Taylor, had a child that was sick ... You know they wouldn’t let them kill any animals or cut any timber ... It was awful for those still trying to live there. Foxes killed all the chickens they tried to raise. “This little boy had anemia and the doctor said he had to have meat. Bemie told me, ‘I just don’t know what to do. I haven’t got money to buy meat’.” “I said, ‘If my little boy was about to die for want of meat, I’d get him some if I lived right in the middle of meat. But now, understand, I can’t give you permission . . . but if you get caught, I’ll go to court with you and tell them why you did it.’ “I met (Chief Ranger Taylor) Hoskins and told him the situation. And he said, ‘I can’t think of a thing that would take me up that way in the next three weeks. If you see Bernie, sort of let him know!’ ” ►Pollock From Page B-l thorized two parks in the east, one in the Great Smokies and the second in the Blue Ridge. In 1937, Mr. Pollock turned his resort over to the Virginia Skyline Co. But he continued to visit his beloved mountains until his death in 1949 just a few weeks before his 80th birthday. At his funeral, Swami Premananda paid tribute to George Freeman Pollock for the cathedral he built. Thousands will come to that cathedral for recreation and revelation, the swami said. “Travelers will pass through . . . Artists will come and paint its glory and beauty.

Harry F. Byrd Sr. in a speech given at the dedication of Pollock Knob. “We can all think of George Freeman Pollock as a benefactor of his fellow man who has left behind a heritage of good will and of wholesome pleasure in the Shenandoah National Park.” George Freeman Pollock saw his dream come true.

From newspapers and documents in the park archives, his story can be pieced together. Melancthon had done well with his business. He had indoor plumbing (unheard of in 1933 even in flatter rural areas) and a generator providing electricity. And he and his wife Carrie had built up a following for their restaurant. We served ham sandwiches and pie,” remembered their daughter, Merle Fox, in a 1983 newspaper article. “For 10 cents you could buy a quarter section of pie about two inches thick.” In 1929, Melancthon began to hear rumors about the eviction of residents from the park. He wrote to anyone he could think of and tried to convince his neighbors and friends to do the same. But he fought, for the most part, a lonely battle. Most of those families who didn’t want to leave felt that they were in no position to fight the government. Melancthon wrote to the local newspapers, he wrote to the Department of the Interior, he wrote to the president. Unsatisfied with the response, he even called the White House. Finally, though, the day came when government agents came to complete the purchase of his land, with its seven rooms and indoor bath, and the garage, sheds, meat house, store and filling station — a palatial spread by mountain standards. And the agents had offered him top dollar — $4,855. Melancthon refused to accept the check. He didn’t want to sell — he wanted to stay. All the way to the eastern slope of the mountain, folk heard how he stood up to the agents, inviting the chairman and secretary of the purchasing committee to leave his store when they came to talk to him. r Officials came to read him his eviction notice. He hid in the kitchen. Even those who thought the man was crazy to defy the system admired him. The sheriff refused to evict him. It took the threat of legal action against the sheriff to convince him to tangle with Cliser. In plain clothes and unmarked cars, the officials pulled up to the gas pump, jumped out and handcuffed Melancthon as he approached the cars. While the angry man was before the judge, agents cleared out his house. Soon the home and its nine outbuildings were destroyed. He died, remembers his daughter, an angry man, bitter and disillusioned at 74. 'fa' ’ v'^ ' * f *•»' V ' A, .

— Photo Courtesy of Shenandoah National Park The Jim Thomas families poses at its mountain home shortly before resettlement Most of the mountain families were hard-working, cheerful By THERESA REYNOLDS Arundel Newspapers Special Writer In a small black notebook in an old fashioned hand, Ferdinand Zerkel recorded the results of his field survey of the mountain people. His notebook is preserved in the park archives, along with -correspondence that shows him to be a compassionate as well as an efficient administrator. Mr. Zerkel's assesment of the conditions and abilities of the people that would be moved out of the mountains convinced him of what he already knew: That the majority of them where intelligent, healthy and hard-working — not so different from people of modest incomes living down below. Family size, said Mr. Zerkel's study, averaged 5.1. Fourty-four (out of 465 total) had no father; 37, no mother; 80, no children. Researchers labeled 57 percent of the fathers bright, 39 percent average and 4 percent dull. Of the mothers, 52 percent of the mothers were bright, 42.3 percent average and 5.7 percent dull. About three-quarters of the parents and more of the children were considered to be in good health, with the remainder mostly in fair health and a few in poor health. The houses averaged 3.9 rooms, but only 88 of the 465 were considered to be in good condition. From Mr. Zerkel’s report: “Out of the 465 families, only 348 had gardens and only 230 had adequate garden tools . . . Average of 5.27 acres per family . . . however, more than half the families have less than 2 acres under cultivation. Only 185 have farm implements. “Corn leading crop; oats next, with rye, wheat and buckwheat and hay falling far below. Potatoes grown by many and apples by a few . . . 158 families no corn; 389 families no oats; 116 no potatoes. “Cash income for a family — 19 not recorded, probably very low: 33 no cash income: 218 $1 to $100 per year; 88 $101 to $200 per year: 78 $201 to $500 per year: 26 $501 to $1,000 per year: two $1,000 to more per year. Remembering more than $1.8 million went into park area land purchase, one might expect these mountain families to receive considerable sums for their properties. However, more than half of them had no equity at all in the land on which they lived, being tenants most often and “squatters” in some cases. Most large grazing tracts as well as some smaller ones were owned by valley farmers and other large tracts by timber and mineral concerns. Two hundred sixty-eight families had no equity: 61 received $1 to $500 equity in real estate; 60 received $501 to $1,000; 41 received $1,001 to $2,000: 35 families $2001 to more.” Mr. Zerkel and others familiar with the mountain people realized what outsider did not: That they relied Very little on cash and farmed for their own needs rather than for profit. The idea of them making a living on homesteads in villages, where cash was more important, was a misconception. Once removed from a subsistence economy, most homesteaders eventually drifted away to “public work. ” Pollock charmed venomous snakes By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Arundel Newipapen Staff Writer “Old man George kept rattlesnakes in a bathtub,” remembers Charlie Estes who ran the Cab Inn in Sperryville where George Freeman Pollock used to stop for dinner on his way from Washington to Skyland. “Those snakes would strike at you but not at him!” The Little Chief of Stony Man was famous for his snake charming. Photographs show him dressed in a pith helmut and riding boots, twirling a rattlesnake while a violinist in gypsy garb played Song of India and in coat and tie, holding his pet rattler, as he posed with a former governor, a former secretary of the Interior and other dignitaries. He carried snakes in his mouth for Hopi Indian dances and lugged four rattlers at a time down the mountain and onto the train to Washington, D.C., in a com meal sack. For several summers, Mr. Pollack kept as many as five loose rattlers in the bathroom of his Skyland cottage, pushing them aside when they got in his way. What was his secret? It wasn’t pulling the fangs of the venomous reptiles. “I have never handled a snake whose fangs were removed,” he wrote in his autobiography. “Fangs in snakes are like the finger nails of a human being, and if you remove one, another immediately begins to grow and in a short time replaces the one which was lost.” If he had a secret, it was the same understanding of the animal mind that brought him such success in training dogs and horses. “Rattlesnakes are extremely nervous, fear man greatly and the secret of handling them is to calm their fears. All will rattle and fight when you first pick them up; but after being in captivity for a while, if care is taken to allay their nervousness and fears, they are quiet and harmless to handle,” Mr. Pollock maintained. Some in the snake charmers audience thought he squeezed his snakes to make them shake their rattles. “But I ask you, what sort of fool would I be to squeeze a live rattlesnake in my hand? Any snake would strike immediately,” he wrote. “The trick was that when I wanted the snake to rattle, I would give my commands in a voice louder than usual and when I wanted it to desist, I would soften my voice and make my ccfThmands in a soothing manner.” It was just this strategy that he was using when he put on his last snake charming act. The demonstration was under way when, from the audience of about 200, a welldressed man, seemingly under the influence of alcohol, approached and announced loudly: “Oh, for goodness sake, they haven’t got any fangs. Give me the snake.” Mr. Pollock warned him to keep away, but in dealing with the heckler, he momentarily took his eyes off the snake. “Like a flash of lightning, it struck at me.” It was the first time that any of his scaly pets had attacked their master. “I was dressed in a white flannel tuxedo with a very soft linen shirt, and the fangs caught in the tuxedo’s lapel just on the edge of the roll. If the snake had struck one-sixteenth of an inch further to the right, its fangs would have gone deeply into my flesh just above the heart. I had to unfasten the fangs from my tuxedo, and after that I had no more snake shows.” ►Names From Page B-2 Grover and Elmer and Oliver and Levi and Ashby and Ernest and even the more usual James and Lloyd in the Atkins family but not one of these in the Nicholson tribe.
