Variance issued for Rappahannock Lakes lot, but water questions remain unanswered By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer “Hallelujah!” Jon Hur proclaimed last Friday as he walked away from the special meeting of the county’s Board of Zoning Appeals with the variance necessary to build a house on the lot he wants to buy in Rappahannock Lakes subdivision. It had been a long five months for the Maryland resident, who had earlier told the BZA that he hoped a lakeside cottage would be more of a lure for his wife to spend weekends in Rappahannock than the couple’s other weekend home in Flint Hill. First the Planning Commission recommended denial of his application for variances. Then the Board of Zoning Appeals likewise turned him down—but for different reasons—and requested that the Board of Supervisors enact a zoning ordinance amendment to deal with the problems posed by the tiny lots in the 70-lot development which predates Rappahannock’s land use regulations. But the supervisors concluded that a general amendment would be bad zoning practice and against the county’s best interests, so they returned the matter to the BZA, finding that development of the substandard lots in Rappahannock Lakes would best be handled on a caseby-case basis by variance, and “humbly and carefully” asking that Mr. Hur’s application be reconsidered. In March, Mr. Hur, as contract-purchaser of Lot No. 3, was granted a variance to side and front yard setback distances for the quarter-acre parcel, but that wasn’t the end of his troubles. The BZA attached a condition to the variance, requiring reassurance from the Health Department that the existing well and septic system on the property meet current standards. But according to sworn testimony, local sanitarian Jack Lockhart refused requests to testify before the BZA and balked at performing a percolation test, which the zoning board directed that the septic reassurance be based on. And when a deputation from the BZA met with him in his office, Mr. Lockhart insisted he had no authority to determine the private water supply’s status because the Health Department had previously approved a public water system for Rappahannock Lakes. At the same time, the agency’s Division of Water Quality in Culpeper, which is responsible for monitoring all community water systems, said Rappahannock Lakes no longer met the criteria, but couldn’t explain what had changed or when. v Mr. Hur had a variance; however, without the assurances from the Health Department, the variance couldn’t be acted upon. To break the deadlock, the board asked not only Mr. Lockhart but other regional health officials to attend last Friday’s special meeting. And this time, the answers—at least to the specificquestion posed by Mr. Hur’s lot—came quickly. Earlier, Mr. Hur had reported that the subdivision’s central water system, inadequate to serve the households already connected, couldn’t take any more taps. Instead, he proposed to use the ungrouted well on his property; however, at 65 feet from the septic field, it was short of the Health Department’s 100-foot minimum separation distance between an ungrouted well and a septic field. And according to Mr. Hur, a drilling rig couldn’t be positioned anywhere else on the exceptionally narrow lot See VARIANCE, p. 16 Planners recommend denial of family subdivisions “The theory behind zoning is that somewhere the lines have got to be drawn . . . Rappahannock County drew the line at five lots and at 1962,” said Mike Massie, the Board of Supervisors’ representative to the Planning Commission, as he explained to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Raynor why their special exception application for three family subdivisions was rejected. The Raynors were before the commission last Wednesday with a request to subdivide three two-acre lots from a 29acre parcel on Rt. 611 in Jackson District. Mr. Raynor said he been informed by zoning administrator John McCarthy that a special exception permit was required because the original piece of land to which his property belonged had already been divided five times since 1962. “We didn’t know that. We thought we could divide it five times for family subdivisions,” he said, re ferring to the county’s allowance for five family subdivisions, with a minimum lot size of two acres apiece, by right from lots of record as of 1962. “Rt. 611 is not what I would call an agricultural area,” Mr. Raynor said. “It’s more or less residential. . . full of houses.” Mrs. Raynor explained that the lots are intended for her husband’s mother and the couple’s two children. “We went to a great deal of expense. The survey alone cost over $700 ... We thought we were abiding by everything, and then it all fell apart.” Mr. Raynor told the commissioners that only his mother planned to construct a house soon. “Our daughter’s just 14, and our son’s 20. I doubt if anything else is going to be built out there in the near future.” “If you make a special exception in this case, you should look back,” neighboring landowner R. Kestner maintained. “Other people have applied for exceptions and been turned down,” he said, adding that he’d received a letter when he bought his nearby property advising that it could not be further subdivided. “I never got a letter,” interjected Mr. Raynor. Mr. McCarthy read into the record the written remarks of David W. Telman, an adjoining property owner currently in the U.S. Army and stationed in Massachusetts. While not objecting to the Raynors’ application, he described three additional houses on the 29 acres next door as “crowding things up a bit.” And Mr. Telman also noted that his deed specified his property couldn’t be subdivided. “1 thought the same restrictions applied to the other lots,” he wrote. Mr. McCarthy told the commissioners he’d first learned of possible covenants against further subdivision just that afternoon, allowing insufficient time for research before the meeting. Mr. Raynor insisted that his deed included no such covenant against resubdivision but checking the copy he'd brought with him, he found that it referred to records in the Clerk's Office that would also be considered part of the document. “That might be the end-all and be-all of this application,” noted Mr. McCarthy, speculating that the reference in the deed book includes a prohibition against further division of Mr. Raynor’s 29-acre parcel. But if that’s not the case, “by strict interpretation of the ordinance, I don't think we can approve this special exception permit,” noted Commissioner David Fannon. “The distinction comes with what the See SUBDIVISION, p. 15 Request for special use permit, budget additions draw debate among town council members A request from Central Telephone Company of Virginia (Centel) to install an upgraded telephone line in Washington met with sharp questions and criticism from the Town Council at its meeting May 11. Since the new line strung on existing poles from the company’s substation on Gay St. to Main St. via Jett St. was an upgrade of service and not a replacement of existing lines, the company was required to apply for a special use permit. The town’s comprehensive plan sets forth the principle that the town wishes eventually to have all overhead utility lines buried underground. To encourage the town’s utilities to bury new lines, the zoning ordinance adopted in 1986 makes underground installations “by-right,” while new or upgraded overhead installations require a special use permit. Athough no public comment was received at this month’s public hearing on the permit, the proposal drew lengthy discussion among the council members. Roy McBride, representing Centel, explained that the service upgrade involves only 200 or 300 feet along Gay St. to Jett St., although the new line extends on out Piedmont Ave. Actually, he said, the installation reduces the number of overhead lines, since three cables will be replaced with one larger cable. “And,” he added, “the power company poles are up close to the building—you hardly notice them.” “You’re talking to the wrong people about that,” Treasurer Brad Fisher replied. Council member William Wickens asked if the new cable could be bundled with the existing wires to cut dowrn the aerial clutter. If the council required it, Mr. McBride replied, Centel could do that. “We’d like to require you to put them all underground,” council member Evelyn Willis said. Town Attorney Frank Reynolds noted that the application presents problems in that regard because, except for the 200 to 300 feet of service upgrade, “everything else they’re doing is by-right.” “What’s the sense," Mr. Fisher added, “of putting a trench in the ground for one wire when there’re still two overhead?” “That’s the same argument,” Mrs. Willis said, “that there are so many ugly cables already why bother to bury any?” Mr. Fisher wondered about the precedent of allowing a new cable overhead, and what effect that would have if later applications were denied. Mr. Reynolds said that specific conditions could be added to the permit which would make it clear that this situation is different from possible future cases. “I have,” Mr. Wickens added, “very significent problems with the service of the phone company; and 1 want to see the cables buried—but I think this is the wrong way to go about it.” Mr. McBride also pointed out to the council that if Centel were forced to bury its cables, "the subscribers will pay the cost.” In response to requests from Mr. Wickens and council member Nan Thomasson, Mr. McBride agreed that the council should have a work session with Centel about the company’s service and to discuss options to get the town’s utility lines buried. After adopting a suggestion from Mr. Reynolds that the findings be made specific to this application, the council found that the installation did not endanger See COUNCIL, p. 16 Eugene Tucker, Rappahannock’s master clocksmith, strikes out in a new direction By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Eugene Tucker began working on clocks almost by accident. Retired from the telephone company, he was refinishing furniture for local residents. Ten years after Flossie Williamson asked him if he could perhaps get her old clock working again as well as refinishing its case, what began as a hobby has become a passion. He fixed Mrs. Williamson’s clock, but not too long after she asked him to come back to her house “and do something about that clock.” Unaccustomed to the ticking and the ft chimes, it was keeping her awake at ^ night, Mr. Tucker explained. The Tuckers’ house perches on the side of Fodderstack Mountain, and its floor-to-ceiling glass panes offer a spectacular view west to the Blue Ridge for the mantel clocks which sit on window shelves in Mr. Tucker’s workshop, their faces 1 turned to the spring morning. *; And in his shop, Mr. Tucker is See CLOCKSMITH, p. 15 _ _ Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter MASTER CLOCKSMITH EUGENE TUCKER, left, explains the history of one of his restored pieces to Arthur Smith at the Sperryville Antique Market. Craft festival moves to new site on Rt. 211 The Blue Ridge Mountains have long attracted artists and artisans seeking inspiration in the gentle .beauty of these oldest of the earth’s mountains. This year, as Old Rag, Stoney Man, and Oventop dress for spring in new iridescent green and the bold white bursts of mountain laurel, the artists and crafts people who have found their muse in the mountains and claimed the countryside as home will join others coming from up and down the east coast at the fourth annual Festival of American Craft in Sperryville. The 1989 festival will be held May 28 and 29 at Oldway Craft Village in the very shadow of Woodward Mountain, within hollering distance of Shenandoah National Park and the Skyline Drive. Oldway is Virginia's first and only “industrial park for art,” as founder and owner Eric Kvarnes terms it. And he sees its continuing development in shopping mall terms: his Molten Media Glassworks is the Woodward & Lothrop equivalent and porcelain sculptor Maggie Rogers’ shop and showroom is Oldway’s Hecht Company. The two business are the big cornerstones of the craft village. “Now we need to fill in with the little specialty stores, the boutiques and the sub shops,” he jokes. For the festival weekend at least, what Mr. Kvarnes envisions for 10 years hence will be a reality. The .'10 acres of meadow alongside the Thornton River will be filled with the booths of artisans: weavers, basket makers, furniture makers,, jewelers, woodworkers, blacksmiths, welders, and potters. Music makers will toot the tin penny whistles they ipold and the wooden flutes they carve. Hand knitted and hand tailored clothing in cotton, silk, and wool will be displayed. A toymaker from Nokesville will bring hand crafted wooden toys that are meant to be pulled, pushed, and played with rather than enshrined on a shelf. Other wood crafts will include the most deluxe of slingshots, walking sticks with carved figures for handles, new age furniture created from cable spools, anti classic old fashioned |>orch swings like the kind See OLD WAVS, p. 15

Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter MOTORISTS ARE CAUTIONED to expect heavy traffic this Memorial Day weekend. If this scene on 1-95 south of Fredericksburg last Saturday is any indication, the predictions are right on target. Caution urged during holiday travel From Bristol to the beach and from the Beltway to Bassett, Virginians will be heading for the highways for the Memorial Day weekend. The first holiday weekend of the season begins Friday, May 27, and extends through Monday, May 30. Travelers can expect typical holiday weekend traffic. Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) officials say there are a number of construction sites on Virginia’s interstate highway system that might cause slowdowns as the holiday traffic hits its peak. However, VDOT Director of Operations David R. Gehr says construction crews at these sites will cease work at noon on Friday to help facilitate the traffic flow. Work will resume Tuesday. Also, there are numerous construction areas that have barriers closing the shoulders of the roadway even though all the lanes are open. These areas, usually made necessary by construction of parallel lanes, require extra caution on the part of the motorist. One such area is between Richmond and Petersburg where Public Hearing to Nominate Candidates to the Rappahannock County School Board The Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County do hereby serve notice of their intent to hold a public hearing on Monday, June 6,1988, at 7:00 p.m. at the Courthouse in Washington, VA., to entertain nominations to the Rappahannock County School Board. Two vacancies will exist on the School Board effective June 30, 1988, with the expiration of the terms of Mrs. Beverly Massie and Mrs. Nancy Reeves, representing Jackson and Piedmont Districts, respectively.

Another is on Interstate 64, just north of Route 17 in Newport News, where interchange construction is underway. In addition to the construction sites, the Virginia State Police point to a number of areas where traffic normally slows as the number of vehicles increases. These include toll plazas on busy highways such as the Richmond-Petersburg Turnpike and the Virginia Beach-Norfolk Expressway. Beach-goers also know that the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel traffic backs up on holiday weekends. The Department of Transportation and Virginia State Police urge motorists to drive with extra caution through these areas of congested traffic and to allow extra time for any delays. Gas prices higher for holiday drivers Virginia motorists will find a slight increase in wholesale gasoline prices for the Memorial Day weekend. That is the finding from the monthly wholesale gas price survey conducted by the Virginia Gasoline & Automotive Repair Association. According to Thomas C. Osina, executive director for the 33-yearold trade association, the biggest wholesale increase is in the price of premium unleased gasoline. “As of the first of the month, the price was 99.3 cents/gallon while it was 6.4 cents/gallon cheaper a year ago.” (These prices include federal and state gasoline taxes.) “Wholesale gas prices leaped an average of 3-4 cents/gallon in April while showing only small gains in the first three months of the year,” reports Mr. Osina. “This trend is expected to continue into June at least.” However, motorists should have little trouble finding gasoline as they travel this Memorial Day weekend, the association’s survey found.

Budget deficit concerns most poll respondents According to a recent public opinion poll of residents in Virginia’s Seventh Congressional District, the federal budget deficit is the most important issue for Congress to deal with in 1988. “Over 68 percent of those who answered the question believe that the federal budget deficit is the top priority for Congress,” said Virginia Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr. From his Washington office. Rep. Slaughter noted that he received more than 22,000 responses to his 1988 annual questionnaire. “Reducing the federal budget deficit is of the utmost importance, and I believe it ought to be the number one priority for the Congress,” Mr. Slaughter said. Rep. Slaughter noted that 76.8 percent of those who answered the poll indicated that they favor a Constitutional amendment to require the federal government to balance its budget, except during times of war or national emergency. Seventy-one percent of poll respondents support granting the President lineitem veto authority on the budget. When asked if the U.S. Constitution should be amended to restore voluntary prayer in public schools, 59.7 percent of those w ho responded were in favor of a Constitutional amendment. Rep. Slaughter, a member of the House Science, Space and Technol ogy Committee, said that 87.9 percent of his constituents who answered the poll favor the continued expansion of our space program with iiicreased involvement by the private sector. More than 70 percent of the constituents who answered the poll support continued research and development of the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) program. The role of the private sector, through the use of additional tax deductions and credits to increase personal savings for retirement and health care costs, was supported by more than 78 percent of those who answered the poll. With regard to foreign affairs, 79.3 percent of poll respondents fa vor the continuation of U.S. Naval presence in the Persian Gulf to insure access by the free world to that region’s oil. More than 66 percent support continued financial aid to the Contra forces in Nicaragua. President Reagan received a 70.6 percent favorable rating from those who answered the poll’s question of general performance approval. “I am certainly grateful to the people who took the time to fill out the opinion poll and mail it back to the Washington office," Rep. Slaughter added. “Their views as expressed in this poll will certainly be helpful to me as the House considers legislation in the important areas covered by this poll.” Memorial Day holiday Monday, May 30, will be observed as a holiday in honor of Memorial Day. County, state, federal and town offices, banks and savings institutions will be closed. The county’s public schools will be open, but classes will be dismissed early at 2 p.m. The Family Guidance Services of Rappahannock also will be closed. In case of an emergency call 675-3329.

Kim Cole and Tommy Bledsoe play in a scene from the show. Roadside Theatre will present original work Roadside Theater from Whitesburg, Kv., and Norton, Va., is coming to Rappahannock Friday, May 27, to perform its newest drama, “Leaving Egypt.” The performance is sponsored by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC). “Leaving Egypt" was written by Roadside member Ron Short, who also wrote Roadside’s popular show, “South of the Mountain." The new play is performed by veteran Roadside storyteller and musician Tommy Bledsoe, newcomer Kim Neal Cole, and the author. Set in the mountains in 1969, “Leaving Egypt" tells the story of a family facing the loss of their ancestral homeplace. The characters are a grandfather, who follows the old ways and is a master spinner of tales, a granddaughter recently returned to the mountains from hard times in a big Mid-Western city, and a nephew just back from combat duty in Vietnam. Woven into the story are eight original songs accompanied by guitar and fiddle. The music ranges from the driving rhythm of the rock and roll song “The Law is Right" to the soulful tune of the mountain ballad “Promised Land.” Roadside Theater, from the central Appalachian coalfields of southwest Virginia and east Kentrucky, is one of the handful of rural theater companies in existence in the United States. Acclaimed as a “national treasure," the company has performed at Lincoln Center, at the Festival of American Folklife in Washington, D.C., and in Europe, and has had several successful runs off-Broad way in New York.

THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1988 Editorial Time for some action We don’t understand the Health Department. The Division of Water Quality, whose job it is to monitor public water systems, lets a system that clearly meets the definition of a community water supply slip out of its monitoring program. Sampling—wrhich was handled poorly by the owner in the first place—stops. And it comes to a halt just months after tests show a potential health hazard from contamination by fecal coliform. , Lines rupture, taps run dry, subsidiary water sources are patched into the system, all while it still meets the criteria for a community water supply. At some point, property owners run out of patience at running out of water. They disconnect and either hook into another private well or dig wells of their own, and Rappahannock Lakes drops below the the 15 connections or 25 users necessary for classification as a public community water system. S Everybody, including the Health Department, forgets * * about the permit, the inspections, and the monitoring. And so it goes for eight years until a prospective buyer » needs a variance to build a house on one of the subdivision’s -w little quarter-acre lots. In assessing the impact of that variance on public health and safety, Rappahannock’s Board of Zoning Appeals again brings the water system to the i- Health Department’s attention. Yes, health officials concede, it may no longer be a public . system in actuality, having only five connections, but it remains a public system on paper. And since that paper ? permit remains in the files—no matter that the agency’s responsibilities for monitoring have been ignored these eight * years—the Health Department will approve no private wells come Sept. 15 when all new private wells must be approved ; under state law. Owners who may want to build a house on any of the 40 unimproved lots in Rappahannock Lakes—some of which are plenty big enough to meet the current setback distances in the county’s zoning ordinances—will not be allowed to connect to the inadequate private system now maintained by _ the Homeowners Association. ' And after Sept. 15, when they must have a permit for a pnvate well, they won’t be able to get that either. Unless, health officals say, the original permit holder for ' the community water system asks that the permit be * revoked. And unless, health officals say, Rappahannock’s - Board of Supervisors formally concurs with that revocation. How does the Board of Supervisors get involved? There are those who believe that if the county does not okay the revocation, it somehow assumes responsibility for upgrading the failing community water system that once f served as many as 28 households in Rappahannock Lakes. We see it differently. This 70-lot development was created long before Rappahannock’s zoning and subdivision ordinances were enacted. The county did not approve an .V.T, inadequate community water system. The developer simply ► recorded the plat for the subdivision, which included the ► water system; the Health Department issued the permit. * Therefore, we believe, the responsibility for finding a way out ► of the mess belongs solely to the developer and the Health l Department. As we see it, the only potential liability on the county’s part comes if the Board of Supervisors formally endorses the ► permit revocation. Then should private wells later fail, S landowners might conceivably have an action against the ► county. \ We urge the Board of Supervisors to seek a legal opinion \ before following the directive from health officals to vacate ►; the public water system on the original plat for Rappahannock Lakes. \ And in the meantime, we wonder if the Health \ Department is going to take up its duties for monthly \ monitoring and annual inspections for this community water \ system that officials insist remains in existence, if only on ; paper. / Correction ‘ At a work session on May 13, the Rappahannock supervisors *i did not vote to accept the $495,459 bid from Rappawan > Construction of Front Royal for construction of the new county landfill, as reported last week in the Rappahannock News. The board voted to accept the two qualifying bids from Rappawan and General Excavation of Haymarket, authorized Chairman Hubert Gilkey to negotiate with Rappawan, the apparent low bidder, and authorized Mr. Gilkey to accept that bid.

Letters to the editor It’s the small things that count iothe editor: My husband and I have had several wonderful meals at The Inn at Little Washington and have always found the service impeccable. At our most recent visit with our two young children on Mother’s Day, however, our waiter performed what was for us an exceptional feat. And it says a great deal about why the Inn is a great place, and about the people in Rappahannock. My daughter had by her side on her chair during our meal her “blankie,” a 2 inch by 4 inch piece of fluff very much resembling what one might be able to pluck out of the average vacuum cleaner bag. It ended up on the floor and our waiter (Barry) spotted it, scooped it up and thinking understandably that it belonged in the trash, pitched it into the kitchen garbage can. When my daughter noticed her “blankie” was missing, a frantic but futile search ensued and she dissolved into tears just as the main course arrived. Our waiter admitted to her what he had done and she cried and glared at him throughout her meal (which was so delicious even her inner wrath couldn’t keep her from eating even’ bite). After the meal, our waiter came up to the table, put himself at eye level with our daughter and told her how the important things in life are never forgotten because the are always in our memories. She looked at him sorrowfully until he produced from behind his back the treasured “blankie” cupped in his hand. Despite the demands of serving in a booked dining room, he had found time to fish through the kitchen garbage can for one little girl who would otherwise have probably always remembered this day with loss and bitterness. It is certainly a memory ire won’t soon forget. We learned that the Inn not only has a palate but a heart. And as new and (at least for now) part-time residents of Rappahannock, we learned once again how special the people around here can be. Thanks, Barry.

Box 273, Sperrvville, VA 22740 We need your opinion To the editor: The Commonwealth Transportation Board of Virginia has made the decision to hold a public hearing in Rappahannock County on the issue of four-laning Rt. 211 between Washington and Sperryville. I applaud this decision by the Transportation Board and want to thank its members for their time and willingness to listen to both sides of this issue. An informational meeting will be held Wednesday, July 20, at 7 p.m. following by a public hearing on Thursday, July 21, at 7 p.m. Both meetings will be held at the elementary school auditorium. I urge everyone, whether for or against the four-laning, to express your views at the hearing. Study the issue and ask yourself whether this project is in the best interests of the people. Are you willing to spend 20 million dollars on this 4.2-mile stretch of road? Will it bring even more development and higher taxes for us all? Are there other options available to us?

Use value taxation and rural property •v BY ROBERT T. DENNIS ■*. ^ Rappahannock News Contributing Write* mC- “Viewpoints” is presented as a contribution 5? to the public dialogue on topics of general interf*est by the Rappahannock League for Environf'-mental Protection. Readers are encouraged to respond to the opinions expressed in “ViewVj points.” pfcAs Rappahannock County moves to adopt ft»its budget for the coming year, we all worry how *<much our taxes are going to rise and whether our -►^friends and neighbors will pay their fair share. :»*Once again, questions are being asked about the ^-equity of Rappahannock’s “land use” tax system ^—taxing farm and forest lands at their “use vacChie” rather than speculative value. Since the ^'county must depend on the real estate tax as its --'.'chief source of revenue, taxing rural lands at use >- value requires some increase in taxes on (or tax phift to) “developed” properties. 5*" There are five key points to keep in mind about use value taxation: • Even when taxed at use value, each acre of open rural land pays five or six times in taxes what it requires in county service expenditures. By thus subsidizing services to “developed” properties, Rappahannock’s forests and farmlands actually provide tax rate protection to all C^residents. K* • The use value system causes taxes to be ^shifted,” not “lost.” •Use value shifts taxes to farm residences ~>nd outbuildings just as it does to buildings on pHmall lots. Large tracts of forestland benefit j>from use value more than farms with lots of >?~bams. In Rappahannock, “estate” properties in vihe 30-acre range typically pay more taxes with > Jthe use value system than they would without it. ‘*1 • Looking at Virginia counties that have chosen not to grant use value taxation to forest land, we can see that the general increase in rural land values plus sky rocketing tax rates have resulted in forest land taxes that exceed the capability of the land to generate revenue from forest production. Predictably, the timber industry and other forest owners are selling such property for “development”—resulting in increased demand for county services, higher tax rates, and escalating pressures for conversion of even more rural land. • For owners of residential and commercial property in Rappahannock County, the shift or increase in taxes due to the use value system is minimal—particularly when compared to tax increases that would occur if Rappahannock were to experience a “development boom.” This is not to say that there are not problems with the use value system, or that abuses do not occur. (In my opinion, “abuses” are more often in perception than in reality, particularly in Rappahannock County.) Because of identified problems, a group of organizations and agencies ranging from the Virginia Farm Bureau and Virginia Forestry Association to the Virginia Association of Counties and State Department of Taxation spent most of 1987 reviewing Virginia’s use value tax. As a result, the 1988 General Assembly amended the use value law (effective for the 1989 tax year), and associated regulatory changes are expected in the next few months. These refinements should make administration of the use value law easier for local governments and more uniform across the state, reduce potential for abuse, and encourage more equitable application to rural lands. Depending on how Rappahannock County decides to apply the revised program, most rural ^Viewpoints landowners here will be affected only in the way they qualify for use value taxation. “Open space” provisions of the law have been amended to allow the county to grant “automatic” use value taxation to what might be called “committed open space”—properties subject to perpetual conservation easements, properties in formal Agricultural and Forestal Districts, or properties subject to recorded individual owjper commitments with the county not to change to nonqualifying land uses for a stated time period. Meanwhile, regulatory changes are in process to assure that only “bona fide” farm and forest operations qualify for “agricultural” and “forestal” use value. These changes could bring stricter farm and forest production and income requirements than have existed in the past, and thereby disqualify certain “part-time” or economically marginal properties that are presently taxed at use value. In other words, to qualify for “land use” tax- • ation in 1989, landowners may have to meet more stringent farm and forest operation standards, or else commit their land as “open space’' that will not be converted to non-qualifying uses for a specific future period.

According to James Russell, owner of the Horseshoe Hills Family Store, next to the ball diamond, and one of the softball team’s boosters, Mr. Pullen was one of the local softball league’s early organizers and one of its biggest backers. When completed, the spectator grandstand will be named in honor of Mr. Pullen. Mr. Russell said that anyone wishing to make a contribution to the construction should make the donation payable to the Ronnie Pullen Sta dium Fund, c o The Rappahannock National Hank, Washington, Va. 22747. “The stands, when completed, will be a tribute to a great guy, on the playing field and in every day living,” Mr. Russell added. Reflections on price of freedom By GENE A. MURPHY Rappahannock News Contributing Writer My first trip to Arlington National Cemetery. My immediate impression was sorrow. Lines of stark white tombstones stretched across acres of rolling green hills. All too reminiscent of soldiers in formation. Viewing literally thousands of neatly arranged graves, I cried. I cried for the brave young men and women who rested there. Soldiers who paid the ultimate price for my cherished freedom. And I cried as I remembered eight very special friends. Friends with whom 1 shared a unique closeness in Vietnam. Friends with whom I’ll never share again. I remembered and paid tribute to them, the men who didn’t return with me from the jungles of Southeast Asia. So many names etched in stone. They began to blur as I slowly rolled my wheelchair through the cemetery. But, as I moved, my sorrow began to ease. In its place, a kind of serenity and a deep feeling of pride settled on me. I’m proud of each and every one of the more than one million men and women who gave their lives in defense of this great country in our many wars. Proud not only of those who died during time of war, but especially proud of those who died in recent undeclared hostilities. More than 300 have died since the end of the Vietnam War. They died in Beirut, Grenada, the Persian Gulf, Central America. My freedom - my wife’s and my daughter’s freedom - was bought with their blood. This is a debt I can never repay. I am humbled by their sacrifices. I lost the use^f my legs in Vietnam, but I came home. For 14 hours I lay bleeding on the jungle floor. For 14 hours I was sure I was going to die. But I was very fortunate and very blessed. God allowed me to live. On this Memorial Day, I ask all Americans to take a moment and reflect on those who did not come home. A moment to honor the true heroes of our country. Gene A. Murphy, a decorated veteran of the Vietnam War, is National Commander of the Disabled American Veterans. NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF RAPPAHANNOCK ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE’S APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL TO OFFER AN INCENTIVE AS PART OF ITS LOAD MANAGEMENT PROGRAM CASE NO. PUE880040 On April 4, 1988, Rappahannock Electric Cooperative ("The Cooperative") filed an application with the State Corporation Commission requesting approval to expand its existing load management program by offering to perform repairs and to replace fuses, thermostats, and elements in water heaters owned by Cooperative members who participate in the Cooperative's load management program as an incentive to encourage participation in that program. Generally, the purpose of a load management program is to allow the Cooperative to reduce its wholesale power costs from its power supplier by placing control switches on water heaters. The Cooperative does not propose to charge program participants for these repairs, nor does it propose to perform repairs on water heaters, which in the Cooperative's judgement, are not in sufficient mechanical condition to accept these repairs or are physically located such that carpentry or plumbing services are need to make the water heater accessible. The Cooperative will not replace or make plumbing repairs to water heaters. A copy of the Cooperative’s application is available for public inspection during regular business hours at the Cooperative s office where customer bills may be paid and during the hours of 8:15 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, at the State Corporation Commissions Document Control Center, located on Floor B-1. Jefferson Building, Band and Governor Streets, Richmond, Virginia. Any party desiring to comment in writing or to request a hearing on the application may do so by directing such comments or requests on or before June 30,1988, to the Clerk of the Commission as provided below. A copy of said request or comment shall also be mailed on or before June 30,1988, to the Cooperative’s attorney: J. Robert Yeaman, III, Esquire, Button, Yeaman & Morton, 139 W.

In a procedural move late last Thursday to expedite final passage of the legislation, the Senate approved the House version of the wilderness bill, introduced by Rep. Jim Olin (D-VA-6). “This action marks a continuation of our efforts to designate pristine and undisturbed national forest lands for wilderness preservation in Virginia,” noted Sen. Warner. “The bill recommends four new areas previously under study for the full protections that a wilderness designation provides and adds two areas within the Jefferson National Forest to existing wilderness areas.” Specifically, the new areas consist of: • 5,700 acres for Barbours Creek in the Jefferson and George Washington National Forests in Craig and Alleghany counties. • 3,665 acres for Shawvers Run in the Jefferson National Forest in Craig County. • 9,300 acres for Rough Mountain in the George Washington National Forest in Alleghany and Bath counties. • 6,450 acres for Rich Hole in the George Washington National Forest in Rockbridge and Alleghany counties. • 2,500 acres added to the Moun fcappafcannocfeiittos gift subscriptions are enjoyed 52 weeks a year.

' / tain Lake Wilderness area of the Jefferson National Forest in West Virginia. • 72 acres added to the Lewis Fork Wilderness in the Jefferson National Forest in Washington County. “This legislation enhances our recognition of the delicate balance between the desire of Virginians to preserve Virginia’s natural beauty and the need for the region to promote economic growth,” said Sen. Warner. “The lands offer outstanding recreational opportunities and will remain open for hiking, camping, hunting and fishing. All of these lands are federally-owned as part of the National Forest System, so no private property will be condemned, and no costs will be incurred by the federal government. “With the approval of this legislation, our collective efforts will have succeeded in bringing a total of 89,800 acres of Virginia national forest lands into the federal wilderness system. My support for continuing this process simply represents my last resolve to ensure a wilderness experience for the enjoyment of future generations of Virginians,” Sen. Warner said. Sen. Warner also noted that he will consider future requests to add to Virginia’s wilderness system.

County shares in ABC profits distribution The Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control generated more than $10.4 million in profits for the Commonwealth and its localities during the second quarter of fiscal 1987-88, a department spokesman has announced. . ABC Board Chairman J. David v/'Shobe Jr. said that “the profits rej f snlted in a distribution of $6,971,890 to Virginia’s cities, counties and towns to assist them in providing - services for local residents. ” Rappahannock County received $7,622 as its share of the ABC profits, while the Town of Washington got another $322. The per liter wine tax netted the county another $2,155, and the town an additional $91. According to a formula devised by the Virginia General Assembly, two-thirds of the profits from the agency during each fiscal quarter, after statutory adjustments, are distributed to localities, while the remaining one-third is allocated to the Commonwealth’s General Fund. Statutory adjustments include an ^location of $1,757,383 to the Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation for the treatment, Aire and rehabilitation of alcholics. « ABC profits, the spokesman explained, come largely from the sale A Trimmer Trimmer i • 17.1 cc engine; only 10.5 lbs. • Electronic ignition and } anti-vibration system j • Centrifugal clutch so | cutting head doesn't \ spin at idle j • Adjustable handle for use i j in different positions j • Goggles for eye protection I • Various cutting heads | % SWAN’S SALES AND SERVICE U>.> J.A.

Lowered Rate Necessary to Offset Increased Assessment: The tax rate which would levy the same amount of real estate tax as last year, when multiplied by the new total assessed value of real estate with the exclusions mentioned above, would be $0.46 per $100 of assessed value. This rate will be known as the "lowered tax rate." Effective Rate Increase: Rappahannock County proposes to adopt a tax rate of SO.52 per $100 of assessed value. The difference between the lowered tax rate and the proposed rate would be $0.06 per $100, or 13 percent. This difference will be known as the “effective tax rate increase.” Individual property taxes may, however, increase at a percentage greater than or less than the above percentage. Copy the names and dates on tombstones, or record any traditions as to who might be buried under unreadable markers. The society plans to publish an inventory of local cemeteries later this year. The meeting June 5 is open to the public. Should you want to join the Rappahannock Historical Society, there will be ample opportunity to do so there, the spokesman said. fOOVS * -'/j •SU’!lso<'0*C*e.<>“ • ladd** ■ S\*'r4 • P°°V f«oc« * _ •S»'*W v, C\Z£ 3'’ V \9' SU-?°' mma?

Summertime is outdoor grill time By SANDRA RICHARDSON Kxlension Agent. Home Economics The Memorial Day holiday weekend is often considered to be the beginning of the summer season. Thoughts turn to cookouts. summer sports, and other outdoor activities and needs. If this is the year that you need / to purchase a new prill for the family, there are many on the market from which to choose. Prices vary greatly. Something to keep in mind while shopping - the most expensive may not necessarily be the one most suited to your family's needs. Four points should be considered when purchasing a grill: • Where you grill. • How often you grill. • What kind of food you cook. • The number of people you usually serv e. To help you decide which type of grill is best suited for your family, here is a brief description of the different types of grills offered. Lightweight Braziers are the most popular and least expensive' charcoal grill. Basically it is a shallow bowl supported by three or four legs. Some models may have the fold-up feature. Others may be equipped with draft controls, wheels and a cover or windshield. This is a perfect type of prill to cook individual serving foods (hamburgers, steaks, fish, hot dogs). It lends itself well to grilling in small areas. This would be a nice grill for a family who grills only occasionally. Hibachi grills are made of heavy cast iron with short legs and lend themselves well to table-top grillin. Because of their heavy weight and small size they are safe from tipovers. Many hibachi models come with air dampers to control heat, adjustable grates, and coal racks allowing ashes to sift to the bottom. Their biggest drawback is the limited space on the grill, making them difficult to use for large cuts of meat or cooking for many people. Electric grills heat quickly. Most models offer temperature selections, better heat control and easy cleanup. This type is ideal for indoor use. They are limited in use to areas where electrical outlets are available. Gas grills allow- for quick starts, accurate heat control, even cooking and are easy to clean. These grills use ceramic or volcanic pumice briquets instead of charcoal. This eliminates ash clean-up. Briquets are placed on a rack between the heat source and the grate; the heat radiated from the hot briquets cooks the food. Permanently installed grills may be attached to natural gas or LP (liquefied petroleum) gas. The body of gas grills is made of heavy cast aluminum with rust and oxidation resistance. This feature allows for outdoor storage. The most versatile and expensive charcoal grill is the kettle charcoal grill. Construction is of heavy cast metal and is spherical in shape. The lid comprises the top half of the sphere. These grills are designed to function like a Dutch oven. This type of grill lends itself to roasting large cuts of meat as well as grilling. The deep grill base makes smoking by indirect heat an option. Many models have draft controls on the lid and PRICES! rr fiji mi Hi' ^rljrPPff | Ps?) liin Him j 1 {}nll<n« llttit JiikHH House Of Raeford - Frozen TURKEY BREAST LD. - Eastern PEACHES Lb.- Tender YELLOW SQUASH 59' CALIFORNIA LETTUCE ISfisi Head 59' I I Miller Beer $Q89 Pkg. of 24 -12 Oz.

This feature allows a minimum of watching while cooking. The lid makes it possible to grill outdoors all year round, if the chef can stand the winter cold! One note about covered grills: Food cooks much quicker (also more evenly^ with the cover on, so cooking times will need adjustment for those used to uncovered grilling. Most grills have instruction books with suggested cooking times, or for roasts a meat thermometer may be used. Smoking meats at home can be enjoyed with covered grills. Meat is often seared in a skillet over high heat to seal in juices. This can be done on the grill by placing the meat two to three inches above the coals for the first three minutes of cooking. Then raise the rack to four to five inches above the coals. Thinner chops and steaks need to have the rack closer to the coals. Thicker cuts need to be cooked farther away from the heat to allow more thorough cooking. , After selecting the grill that best suits your needs, the next step is to try one of these mouth-watering entrees. Flank Steak and Mushrooms 1Vi cups red wine 1/2 cup soy sauce 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespooris Worcestershire sauce 1 clove garlic, crushed 1 Vi tablespoons ground ginger - 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1 (1 to 1 Vi pound) flank steak 1 8-ounce package fresh mushrooms, sliced 1 tablespoon butter or margarine, melted Combine first 6 ingredients in a shallow dish, mixing well.

Rappahannock Journal Nature program looks at snakes For many Virginians, snakes are a mysterious animal. On May 28 at 2 p.m. C. M. Crockett Park and the Fauquier County Parks and Recreation Department will be sponsoring the nature program “Sssnakes Alive!” This free family program will try to lessen the fears and misconceptions people have about Virginia’s snakes. There will be a live snake demonstration with Monty, the park’s pet snake. “Be sure to bring your snake questions to be answered,” Assistant Manager Gary Kwolek said. Those with a little free time during the Memorial Day weekend, should venture out to Crockett Park Sunday, May 29, at 2 p.m., he added. A living history program entitled Pioneer Schoolin’ is scheduled. This educational program will take participants back to the days of the one-room school house. In the event of rain, these programs will be cancelled. Crockett Park is seven miles south of Warrenton off Rt. 643 (Meetze Rd.) on Rt. 602. From Culpeper, take Hwy. 28, continue on 28 across Rt. 17 and past Midland until reaching Rt. 643 (Mayhugh’s Comer Store), make a left onto Rt. 602. Pen pals picnic AFTER CORRESPONDING with their peers at Byrd Primary School in Goochland, Rappahannock Elementary first and second graders meet their pen pals at a picnic in Charlottesville. Mclntire Park was the setting for lunch and an afternoon of games. The pen pal project was begun “to develop new friendships and to practice the students’ writing skills—and for fun,” said one of the chaperones. The students also exchanged handmade friendship necklaces. The trip was made possible by the parents who volunteered to provide transportation and supervision, she added. 4-H offers wide variety of camping opportunities By SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Agent. 4-H Youth The 1988 4-H Camping Program will soon be underway.

Day realtor COLOR CAN AFFECT SALE Color can influence how large your home looks, how well cared tor it seems and how easy it may be for a buyer to visualize him - or herself owning it. From the smallest application of color to brightening a bathroom to a major project like exterior painting, improvements involving color will yield an exceptional return. Some pointers: Light colors make an area seem more expansive, dark colors make spaces close in. Add bold colors through accent features such as fabrics, flowers and trim, but keep the background neutral Strong personal colors make it more difficult for the buyer to visualize the home as his or her own. Stick with neutral colors such as . (Whites, beiges and soft pastels and ' use special caution when selecting wallpaper.

Craig Itilts U iltllih■ hik-rahon A quandary over toxic trash Once in a great while, spurred by comments from family members, the urge to clean up the garage overcomes me. There are dangers out there. My 11-year-old son recently tried to pry his bicycle out of the garage but instead unleashed a cascade of tomato cages from which he could not escape due to entanglement in drip irrigation tubing. v Clean-up progressed well until I encountered four bottles of insecticides which I no longer use. My substitutes for these commonly used chemicals don't eliminate every last pest, but we’ve learned to accept a few blemishes and our yard is full of life. What kept me from completing my task was serious concern about following insecticide label directions for disposal of these now unwanted substances. No matter how toxic the chemical was, with warnings such as “never spray near open water” or “toxic to fish and w'ildlife,” I was directed simply to “Wrap and place in trash collection.” Trash collection in our county proceeds as follows: your trash is placed on the curb in the morning and by the end of the day. it’s gone. It never really disappears, how ever. By the time it is buried at the landfill, the pesticide container has probably broken. When a landfill leaks, and some do, or when such chemicals are disposed of in an improper manner, leakage into the environment occurs, polluting both ground and sur face water. And one way or another, we get our throwaways back. . .toxics in our drinking water. . .fish with contaminant levels making them unfit for consumption. . .or perhaps the elimination of all life from a local pond or stream. I live in an area that does not provide me with a disposal alternative. Some counties and even a progressive state or two give their citizens the opportunity to dispose of these chemical leftovers in a res|>onsible manner. Annually, Fairfax County, Virginia, sponsors two household toxics round-ups. Home owners bring their chemicals to specified locations ami can fee! confident that proper dis|>osal will occur. Maine, a state that has taken the bull by the horns, has established a statewide container return program for agricultural users of pesticides. It also has conducted a limited number of household toxics pickups for concerned home owners. On the scale of total |iesticide use for the U.S.. the amount the home owner uses may be miniscule. Ite member, however, that with some readily available insecticides, simply flushing a half quart down a storm sewer could lx- a death sentence for hundreds of s|>ecies of tiny aquatic animals in a small |H»nd hundreds of yards away from your home.

School Shed sales help fund future classes The Building Trades Department at Rappahannock County High School will have two bx 12-foot utility sheds for sale to the general public upon their completion. These sheds may be seen now behind the RCHS shop between 3:15 and 5 p.m. until they are moved around to the front of the school. Both buildings have a floor composed of treated 2x4s spaced at 24 inches on center covered with plywood. Sides are also spaced 24 inches on center covered with fir T111 siding. The roof consists of halfinch plywood covered with asphalt shingles on the barn-type shed and 5-V crimp tin over 1x6 pine on the gable roofed model. Both buildings are on pressure treated joists and skids. “As I said last year. I've been very impressed with the quality of the work done by eighth grade students,” said Ron Vickers, building trades instructor. To back up a little, Mr. Vickers teaches a Technology Education class that is two periods long at the high school. The curriculum includes the construction trades—masonry, electrical wiring, metalworking, plumbing, and carpentry. With the high cost of instructional supplies to properly teach the curriculum, he used the carpentry part to build saleable buildings to partially fund the other areas of instruction. The minimum bid to buy the buildings reflects the cost of materials and is non-profit to the school or students. “The immense value of skills learned and self-esteem generated in these students makes the hassle of building worth while” was Mr. Vickers’ justification. While the morning class, including Tonya Aylor, Phillip Pullen, Kyle Thompson, Ray Withrow, and Kevin Daymude, built the shed with the tin roof, no one student did most of the work. Tonya said, “It was a lot of fun building the shed and I learned a lot.” Each student was foreman for one stage of the construction. This model has been very well received by past buyers because of the wide double doors. A new feature this year includes a treaded door stop. The afternoon class, including Chucky Baker, Tony Huff, Lionel Bradford, Mike Campbell, Lynn McFarland, Wesley Cooke, and Joe Rooker, built the other shed. Both classes were able to experience the different building techniques of the two models and have a competition as to which had the better budding. The classes built a scale model before doing actual construction. This helped students visualize the carpentry practices which minimized wastage of building materials. Also they got a take-home project to show parents and friends what they had done in class. Mr. Vickers pointed out that the storage sheds could be used for garden tools, motorcycles, lawij mowers, bicycles or lawn furniture. “Not only are these buildings used for landscaping beautiful homes, but their low cost makes them practical for mobile homes, farm outbuildings, or businesses.” he added. Sealed bids must be submitted to the RCHS school office no later than Tuesday. May 31, at 3:30 p.m. This year the shed with the window and shingles has a minimum bid of $600 and the other one a minimum bid of $500. The highest bidders will be notified Wednesday, June 1. The buildings have not been painted, so that the buyers may choose the type and color finish they desire. It is the responsibility of the buyer to have the building transported, Mr. Vickers said. “This and many other activities show that Technology Education is still working in our schools,” he added. Futrell praises Career Day James T- Futrell Jr., guidance director at Rappahannock County, said last week that the school’s Career Day April 28 was a huge success. More than 100 11th and 12th grade students took the opportunity to discuss future career paths with some 25 professionals representing 18 fields. Mr. Futrell said that many of the students who participated said later that the program was beneficial because of the exposure to opportunities available to them in the working world. Some students, the guidance director added, received job applications from the employment representatives who attended the seminar. Mr. Futrell added that “the guidance office extends its appreciation to Counselor Mary Ann Biggs, Diane Pendleton and Pat Lawler for their assistance in organizing the program." Mr. Futrell urged any local business or professional representatives who are interested in participating in the RCHS Career Day next year to contact the guidance office at Rappahannock County High School, 987-8575. Good habits begin early Photo courtesy of Sandra Richardson IN COOPERATION WITH THE Extension Service, Wakefield School is holding a series of nutritional education classes for the schools kindergarten and pre-kindergarten students. “Let's Start Eating Smart” instructor Toni Updike talks to her students about good eating habits. Miss Watson graduates Dawn Elaine Watson of Sperryville was graduated cum laude from Bridgewater College with a bachelor’s degree in history and political science, and a minor in French. She was among 151 graduates who received degrees during commencement exercises on Sunday, May 8. Twenty students, including Miss Watson, were graduated cum laude, with honors. To achieve this distinction, a college spokesman said, the student must successfully complete an oral examination and place at specified ranks of national standardized tests in their chosen fields of studv. Miss Watson was consistently among the Bridgewater College students named to the school’s Dean’s List. She is the daughter of Mrs. Diane E. Pendleton, of Sperry ville. Bridgewater College is a private, four-year college in Bridgewater, affiliated with the Church of the Brethren. Founded in 1880, it was the state’s first senior co-educational institution. ft" Enjoy a COMPLIMENTARY \ We hve fuel (xxnp*0ted an advertising trade out witti Vacation America to offer our cuattnen *»e moat exciting AorMa Ottammy ever made available a Feeffvaf ot Florida fun and Sunlll FLORIDA! 6 DAYS & 5 NIGHTS!

Eagerly, he shows a visitor the different types of clocks he has restored, from French box clocks made in the early 1800s to contemporary Korean imports. “They’re junk,” he says of the recent imports, adding, “I’ll tell people that. I want them to know what they’re getting.” But his tone changes when he points to one of the French mantel clocks sitting on the display case. The body is dark marble, almost black. The face is covered with a beveled glass crystal surrounded by a brass bezel. He opens the crystal, exposing the slightly time-worn face and two delicately tooled hands. With practiced iammanty, his large calloused fingers looking out of place holding the small metal plate, he pulls the face out of the clock, and behind it comes the solid brass movement. “Now that’s beautiful,” he says, pointing out the mirror-like polish on the gears and plates. “The French knew how to make clocks,” Mr. Tucker says again. “They’re my favorite to work on.” He adds, with evident pride, “One night I put one back together with my eyes closed—just to see if I could do it.” He did. Another French movement lies in a plastic tub, its gears and tiny pivots scattered. Mr. Tucker picks up one of the solid brass plates which case the movement, careful to handle it only by the edges. The oils on human skin tarnish the brass, he explains, leaving stains which sometimes cannot be removed, even by polishing the piece. He picks up the tiny gear which moves the hands, its long slender curved teeth still sharp even after more than 100 years of use. The gear, like the rest of the movement, is made of solid brass, hand-tooled by a craftsman in 19th century France. “They don’t make them like this any more,” Mr. Tucker laments. Now, the movements are usually stamped out of cheaper metal, and almost never polished to the high sheen of the old, hand-crafted clocks. It’s not that they don’t work just as well, he says, it’s just that the old, hand-tooled gears and wheels are “beautiful.” Back when clocks were handmade, he explains, the cabinetmaker who built the box bought the movement from a clockmaker who made nothing else. The name on the clock face might be the cabinetmaker or the clocksmith, but one person didn’t make both parts of the finished piece. That Dart hasn’t changed. Mr. Tucker says. Ninety-seven percent of all the clock movements manufactured in America are made in Amherst, Va., by Hermele. No matter what the name on the clock, he says, chances are Hermele made the movement. French clocks might be his favorite, but Mr. Tucker won’t pass up the challenge of something he hasn’t seen before. He points to an unusual clock standing on the case — a small one with three brass-colored poles sticking out of the top. A small weight on a string hangs from a horizontal bar attached to the center pole. The bar pivots in a circle, allowing the string to wind and unwind from the side poles. That’s the spring mechanism which powers the clock. It’s called an Ignatz. Mr. Tucker adds, laughing, “Guaranteed not to keep accurate time — and it says so in the instructions. ” Mr. Tucker’s restored clocks will be featured at the Sperryville Antique Market, which is among the town’s shops celebrating the fourth annual Festival of American Crafts this weekend. The Antique Market, owned by Peggy and Arthur Smith, is now open six days a week (closed Wednesday) from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mr. Smith reported that Mr. Tucker has had offers on several of his clocks already, although he just moved the display in last weekend. “We’re thrilled to have Eugene here,” Mrs. Smith said. “Everyone should have one of his clocks in their home.” “He has a reputation way beyond here,” her husband added. “We’ve known him for three years, and been trying to get him to set up here. He’s finally made it, and we’re really happy to have him. He does a super job.” Mr. Tucker is also an authorized service representative for most of the major U. S. clock manufacturers, and will also do “set-ups” of new clocks in the buyers home. That s a service offered by most clockmakers, and he contracts with the store to do the work. He also does maintenance and repairs, both in and out of warranty. He laughs when he describes the request he gets from most potential customers: “It just needs a squirt of oil—just a squirt of oil.” That’s not “just what a broken clock needs,” Mr. Tucker says, cautioning that particularly damaging is the miracle cure: a clockowner-administered squirt of WD-40. “It works fine — for about a week. Then the lubricant gets gummy from the dust inside and really fouls up the works.” Not only that, he adds, the chemicals in the lubricant often stain the clock’s movement and the wood of the case. He’s worked on more than 600 clocks, according to the meticulous log book he keeps. “I’ve never found one that ‘just needed cleaning’,” he says, chuckling again. Mr. Tucker notes that most people take far less care of their clocks than of their cars, yet expect the clock to run perfectly 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, year-in and yearout. No matter what the owner’s complaint — or request — every clock brought to Mr. Tucker gets a thorough inspection, from the inside out. Each movement is completely taken apart and all the gears, pivots and springs are checked for wear. “You have to; that’s the only way to get it fixedright.” If necessary, he will replace any worn parts from the store of pieces he has in the shop, or fabricate a new one from scratch. And fixing clocks right is Mr. Tucker’s business. He’s certified by the American Watchmakers Institute, and he guarantees all his work for three years. Compare that, he says, with the warranty offered with most new wristwatches: 90 days. “That should tell you something about them.” What’s his least favorite clock to " repair? Aside from the cheap reproductions, which he explains usually cost more to fix than the clock is worth, are cuckoo clocks. Why the cuckoo clock, with its cute painted bird and — often — other figures which perform as the bird calls the hour? Taking one down from a shelf, Mr. Tucker points out the intricate mechanisms in the back: the bellows which make the bird sing, and the wheels which control the other figures. All must be precisely synchronized for the clock to work right, and to check that the whole thing has to be reassembled. And if it doesn’t work, taken apart again. “They are the most frustrating," he says, but the tone of his voice adds the unspoken thought that he still finds them a challenge. What, after 10 years, keeps Mr. Tucker in his shop until late at night, and back again early the next morning? “I just really love it,” he says. “In 10 years, I’ve learned a lot about clocks — and a lot about people.” Old ways Continued from Page 1 great-grandfather and great-grandmother kept company in on a summer’s evening long ago. Innesfree Village, a community for the mentally handicapped in Albemarle County, will be offering wood and woven crafts, pottery and tile work. Artists will present etchings and draw silhouette portraits. In all, more than 50 booths will be devoted to arts and crafts. And interspersed will be others devoted to satisfying the appetite. Just as with the arts and crafts, there’s something for everyone: the food will range from the traditional hot dogs, hamburgers, ice cream, and sodas to Middle Eastern fallafil, Thai shish kabobs, and South of the Border tacos and salsa. And for those who pack a picnic, there’s plenty of room for spreading a blanket next to an old stone wall at the edge of the surrounding apple orchards. It all has an atmosphere of a Renaissance fair. But the real difference between the Old way Craft Village’s festival and the scores of craft shows held at other crossroads, villages, and town centers on the same Memorial Day weekend is the plentitude and diversity in craft demonstrations. The slate includes blow-pipe glass blowing, glass fusing, glass engraving, weaving, sculpting in porcelain, blacksmithing, welding, basket weaving, and the making of pit-fired pottery and stained glass. This focus on demonstrations is central to the whole concept of the industrial park for art. “We’re preserving the processes and the products of the past for the people of the present and the children of the future,” says Mr. Kvames. (“Try saying that three times very fast!” he adds.)' “By showing them how something is made, we give people a connection between the product and the person who made it; It makes people think. They understand the product, the process, and the price a lot better.” And for the struggling artisan, Subdivision Continued from Page 1 land looked like in 1962 and how many times it’s been cut since,” Mr. McCarthy explained. Mr. Massie pointed out that Mr. Raynor’s lot and others were subdivided in 1969 from what was the parcel of record in 1962; accordingly, the five subdivisions of lots smaller than 25 acres have been taken, leaving none for any family division exceptions from any of those lots. “Something should have been put in the deed to state that,” said Mr. Raynor, adding that he would not have purchased the 29-acre lot — “It’s more land than I want” — if he had known he could not subdivide small lots from it for his mother and children. “I’m surprised the real estate agent involved in the transaction understanding brings rewards. “If they don’t buy it right away, often they’ll show up later after going home and thinking about it. Demonstrating gives them more to chew on.” Mr. Kvames’ background gives no clue that he would end up an itinerant glass blower traveling the Mid-Atlantic craft show circuit with his portable half-ton glass furnace. His father, Dr. Robert Gordon Kvames, was a prominent Washington, D.C., psychiatrist and the president of the Washington School of Psychiatry. Eric grew up in affluence— albeit with “ a lot of wacked out people around”—in Chevy Chase, Md. So why isn’t he a doctor himself? Or an entrepreneur of the more traditional sort? In 1969, his father invested in a now-defunct ski venture in Rappahannock County’s rolling and too-often-snowless mountains. And since in 1969 land still could be found for $50 an acre, he also bought 156 acres in the next hollow over. The old farmhouse on the property overlooked a pond with spring feeders that kept the water cool and inviting even in August. A dock perfect for cannonballing provided easy water access that avoided a walk through the squishy mud of the shallows. Not only was the pond great for swimming; it was big enough for rowing and full of blue gill and bass. The ravines stretching up behind the farm house burst with wine berries in the summer and spilled deer out into the clearings in fall and winter. It was paradise for a city kid. At college (where he was studying to be a clown), Mr. Kvames traded unicycle-riding lessons for instruction in glass blowing. He began practicing the craft in earnest in 1973, and in 1979, he moved full time to the family’s weekend retreat and became Rappahannock’s resident glass blower. In those early days before he’d invented the portable glass furnace, Mr. Kvames demonstrated the craft to anyone who dropped by his shop. The glass from the late 1970s was heavier, the colors more limited, the shapes less imaginative, and the designs less inventive. But still, the promise was there, although didn’t let you know that,” Mr. McCarthy replied. “I’m surprised your neighbor got a letter and you didn’t,” added Commissioner John Clark. Chairman A. Y. Stokes suggested Mr. Raynor check the paragraph in the deed book referenced in his deed for the missing prohibition against resubdivion. “You’ll probably find it.” Phil Irwin, long-time opponent of the family subdivision exception to density standards and other ordinance regulations, called the provision “the leakiest gasket” in the county’s land use controls. The issue is not whether a landowner can give a small piece of property to a parent or child but rather “what’s going to happen to the property just a few years from now . . . This is a great problem and it will continue to be a great problem until it is addressed with enabling legislation from Richmond,” he said, referring to the Kvames balked then at being called a craftsman and maintained that the title wouldn’t be earned until he’d practiced his craft for a decade or so. Until 1985, he sold his work through the Middle Street Gallery and the Rush River Artists Cooperative in the town of Washington, and he followed the craft shows. By then, he’d added the portable furnace to the annealing oven and shop furnace he’d constructed out of junk salvaged from Pete Estes’ junkyard in Sperryville. He and Mr. Estes, who is also a member of the county’s Board of Supervisors, became “good acquaintances,’’ as Mr. Kvames puts it. “Glass blowers have to be on good terms with the junk man because we build everything with junk!” When Mr. Estes decided to swap the junk business for the antique trade, he offered the site for sale. Mr. Kvames looked at the trends: glass blowers being shut down by zoning boards that contend a 2000 degree furnace ought to be in an industrial zone and not a store front or backyard shop. He looked at the location: on a major tourist highway in a rejuvenated and tourist-oriented village. And he looked at the zoning: industrial, one of only three parcels so designated in all of Rappahannock County. And he remembered his dream of introducing people to the old ways of craftsmanship. “This mindless buying, the yuppie spending spree of the last 10 years has got to end. People are getting tired of mass produced trash. They want quality.” But even quality isn’t enough. Craft shows offer quality work but Mr. Kvames has seen the eyes glaze as numbed shoppers trudge up and down the aisles. “They want more— they want something they can take home in their hearts." So he decided that time and opportunity were right. He bought the junkyard, moved out 400-some junked cars, moved his shop in, opened Glassworks Gallery in the tiny studio on the highway side of the Thornton River, and founded Oldway Craft Village. “It started with me demonstrating. I realized how hungry people were to learn, to see things they hadn’t seen before. We’re trying to fill a spot in their lives that shopping malls can’t” said Mr. Kvames, the state code’s requirement that local zoning and subdivision laws provide for family transfers. Maintaining that it’s difficult for young people today to “get started in life,” Bob Lindquist called the family transfer exception a “good thing ... If it’s not abused, it ought to be supported ... I don’t think it’s really as bad as all of you think it is,” he told the planning commissioners. “I see what you all are up against,” Mr. Raynor conceded. “I see where people give a lot to a family member and six months later, the house is up for sale.” “Everybody has the right to five family subdivisions. But there are certain pieces of land you can do it on and certain pieces of land you can’t do it on, because somebody has already used them up,” said Mr. Massie. “If we don’t accept that, we might as well throw this zoning ordinance out the window.” “What’s here before us went philosopher. “Life is not about buying and consuming. Life is about learning and growing. The whole emphasis at Oldway is to have people walking out understanding more than when they came in, knowing how things are made.” After three years, the Oldway Village has four full-time residents: Eric, his wife Davette, who is an artist at the loom when she’s not busy tending to the couple’s children, four-year-old Nikke and three-yearold Jenny, porcelain sculptor Maggie Rogers whose studio is a fantasy world of fairies, dwarfs, gnomes, and dragons, and glass engraver Phil Ensminger. Mr. Kvarnes isn’t discouraged by the empty spaces in his industrial park for arts. He sees them filling, slowly but surely, as more artisans and artists learn of Oldway Village. It’s hard to say which is more responsible for keeping the crowds at crafts shows massed around his booth: the molten glass that is spun and shaped at the end of his pipe into a delicate vase of crystalline beauty or the line of patter that would be the envy of any late-night talk show. And just as he combines showmanship with craftmanship, so Mr. Kvarnes mixes hard-nosed practicality with enchanting whimsey, not just in his Oldway Craft Village, but in his whole approach to life. “God keeps dropping things in my path. That’s why I know I’m sup posed to be doing this, he says, nodding sagely. But the broad grin and twinkling eyes belie the seriousness of his tone. He explains that for the Festival of American Craft, he knew he must have a blacksmith to give demonstrations. “And you know who’s coming?

Subdivision is more of a privilege than a right,” said Mr. Massie. “You can’t take 100 acres and cut it into halfacre lots. You have to think of public health, safety, and welfare. That’s why we enacted this zoning ordinance in the first place.” Unanimously, the planning commissioners recommended denial of Mr. Raynor’s application for a special exception permit, finding it not in accord with the zoning ordinance.

Council Continued from Page 1 any trees; that it posed no safety hazard to the town’s residents; that no additional poles were required; that it posed no hazard to traffic, and that no additional wires were required, since the new wires would be lashed together as one. The council approved the special use permit by a 5-1 vote, with Mrs. Willis opposed. Mr. Fisher’s presentation of the first draft of the town's fiscal 1988-89 budget also drew questions from the other council members. The draft budget circulated to the council members contained expenditures of $54,000, and Mr. Fisher noted that an additional category for capital improvements would be added later, which would total approximately $28,000. Balanced against the proposed expenses, Mr. Fisher forecast income of $78,318 for the year. The bulk, more than $38,000, would be generated by the town’s 2'j percent restaurant and lodging tax. "Where is all the money going?” Mr. Wickens asked. "The town’s budget was $13,000 two years ago, and no streets have been dug up, no lines replaced.” He also pointed to the “200 percent increase" in the administrative categorv from 1987 to 1989. Mr. Fisher explained that there have been repair work and new construction “which doesn’t show but takes money." And, defending several lawsuits against the town has also been costly, ne said. The treasurer said that he arrived at the ’89 figures by looking at actual expenses so far during fiscal 1988 and projecting them through 12 months. And, with Dr. Werner Krebser's lawsuit against the town still unresolved, “it could be the same this year." Mr. Fisher said that, as another example of higher expenditures than expected, this year he had budgeted $500 for legal advertising, and that so far this fiscal year, which ends June 30, the town had spent $1,000. “We have made rules and ordinances which can get us in hot water if we don’t know what we're doing,” he added, defending the expenditure for “professional services”—mostly lawyer’s fees. Ray Gooch pointed out that the council members could defray some of that expense by doing some of the legwork on ordinance amendments and other non-controversial matters themselves, and then getting a professional opinion when the work is completed. Discussing possible projects for the capital improvements budget separately, council members suggested streetlights, sidewalk improvements and the water system overhaul. Mr. Fisher said that he had received a study from the fim handling the design of the town’s water system, “and the bottom line on the project is $980,000.” He pointed out that included an increase in size of the mains throughout town to eight and six-inch and the addition of more fire hydrants. Both will improve the fire protection for those living in the town. It should also mean a significent break on their insurance premiums. The cost has also been pushed beyond the $500,000 ballpark figure talked about last year, he said, by proposed Environmental Protection Agency regulations which would require all public water supplies be filtered. That would necessitate expensive filtration equipment along with the chlorination machinery already included in the plan. In addition, Mr. Fisher said, the state Health Department requires more than one source for a public water supply, which may mean that the town must drill another well. And the larger mains which will increase fire flow will probably require a larger reservoir than the present 100,000-gallon supply. At that rate, with the Washington VFD’s 1,000-gallon per minute deck gun on its truck, plus other lines flowing from other hydrants, a major fire could run the reservoir dry in less than two hours. Mr. Fisher reported that he and Mayor Morehouse had attended a seminar on water and sewer financing for small communities. They spoke with Farmers Home Administration representatives about the possibility of a capital improvements loan to finance the water system project. At the workshop they learned that the possibility exists for a $475,000 grant and a $235,000 loan through FmHA to finance the project. The $275,000 shortfall, he said, might be made up by a grant from the Virginia Community Block Grant Program. That grant, however, would depend on the approval of the FmHA loan. He said the workshop leaders used as an example of local financing the town of Virgilina, Va., which has a population of 250. The town has put together a $1.1 million package of loans and grants to finance an overhaul of its water system. “We told them to send us Virgilina’s paperw ork and we’d change the names,” Mr. Fisher quipped. More seriously, he said, the r mHA representative advised him that the town should apply for the financing package “posthaste.” Mr. Wickens noted that the cost of the project,, figured per capita, added up to $4,455 for each of the town’s residents. Mrs. Willis told the council that she has looked into the cost of replacing the town's present overhead streetlights with freestanding, cast iron lights more like the town’s original lights. She said each unit would cost about $2,000, and suggested that the town purchase six or eight each year until all the pole lights were replaced. Fewer than 50 would be needed for the entire town, she said. Fran Eldred told the council that one of the town’s original Deitz lanterns is still left, outside Clarence Dearing’s house on Piedmont Ave. The council reached consensus that it did not wish “cutesy” lanterns, or gaslights in a town which was never illuminated by gas. No action was taken on the lights. In other business, the council: • Requested that the Virginia Department of Transportation be contacted about its offer to pay some percentage of the cost of sidewalk installation or repair on any property which abuts a state right-of-way. Mr. Fisher suggested that VDOT be given some estimates so that the money could be included in next year’s budget. • Referred to the planning commission an amendment to the Historic District Ordinance which would incorporate the definitions in the town’s zoning ordinance into the Historic District Ordinance. Mrs. Willis also suggested that the council make repainting a house in certain pre-approved color combinations possible by administrative approval, rather than requiring the approval of the Architectural Review Board. That proposal was also recommended to the Planning Commission for its consideration.

But with a device called a pollution pack sunk into the existing well and an inch-and-a-half of cement grout between the “boot” and the well casing, that well on Mr. Hur’s property will qualify as a Class II well under Health Department regulations, regional sanitation supervisor Charles Shepherd ruled last Friday. And since current standards require a separation distance of just 50 feet between a Class II well and a septic field, the existing well—with the pollution pack “boot" and the lVz inch grout—“would meet the minimum separation distance,” Mr. Shephard agreed. In addition, Mr. Lockhart affirmed that his visual inspection of the soil indicated that the previously-approved septic field meets current standards. Judging this to be reassurance enough, the BZA backed off from its request for a per eolation test. BZA member Peter Kramer recalled that U.S. Geological Survey soil maps produced at an earlier hearing showed the soil types in Rappahannock Lakes subdivision to be rated predominatly poor to fair for septic fields. “That’s why we asked for the percolation test.” But Mr. Lockhart’s re-examination found that the soil on the lot in question meets the Health Department’s minimum requirements currently in effect for septic fields, Mr. Shepherd noted. Describing the soil’s rating by the maps as “general,” BZA Chairman Lee Bird held that the sanitarian’s grading, based on visual assessment, wras “specific” and therefore satisfied the BZA’s condition. By unanimous vote, the BZA members supported the chairman’s conclusion. “Mr. Hur, you have your walking papers!” Mr. Bird told the applicant. No well permits? But the question of what happens with future development proposals in Rappahannock Lakes remains unsettled. In 1987, reflecting an upsurge in concern over groundwater, the General Assembly passed legislation that requires the Health Department to issue permits for all private drinking water wells. It has taken a year and a half to get regulations written for the new authority, but beginning this Sept. 15, Virginians must have a permit for a private well. However, owners of unimproved lots in Rapp nnock Lakes won’t be able to get pei.nits for private wells because that subdivision has a public water system, Mr. Shepherd told the BZA on Friday, taking that position despite the fact that the system today is public only on paper. The standard monitoring of community water systems has not been done for Rappahannock Lakes “since somewhere about 1980,” said Joe Burner from the Division of Water Quality, adding “there was much confusion regarding the appropriateness of considering this a public water supply in the beginning . . . The system appears to have been left to go in its own.” He told the BZA that the records show no annual site visits to inspect the system itself.

ROGER BATCHELDER, Purveyor of fine properties Gay St., Washington, VA. 22747 703-675-3777 Res: 703-937-4388 connections or 25 users for it least six months of the year, were taken by Dr. James Williams, the developer of Rappahannock Lakes who continues to maintain ownership of the roads, the lakes, and several unimproved lots, including the site of the original well for the subdivision. This monitoring “was not up to what was requested” by the Health Department, and after March 1980 the records show no water sampling reports at all, Mr. Burner told the BZA. The absence of test data came after samples in the fall of 1979 showed contamination of the water by fecal coliform. Exercising jurisdiction over the water system, which then had 28 service connections, the Health Department subsequently ordered a suspect spring downhill from a septic field disconnected and the primary well dug 60 feet deeper and a new pressure switch installed. Stanley Dye, self-described “chief engineer” for the water system and roads in Rappahannock Lakes, reported that when he bought his home there in the summer of 1980, “the real estate people veered away from the problem” of the water system. Dan Wilson was then the administrator for Dr. Williams and was charging $500 a year for water and road maintenance, Mr. Dye said. But faucets kept running dry, so Mr. Dye, who is maintenance supervisor for Airlie, near Warrenton, decided to investigate. He told the BZA that he discovered the spring on Mr. Wilson’s property had been disconnected, as directed by the Health Department, and a new well dug. Drilled just 12 feet away from the old well, it produced only l‘/2 gallons per minute, he noted. “At the time I moved there, 17 houses were on the system, and I was told that at one time, it had 27 or 2» connections. When the system failed for a sixweek stretch between Thanksgiving and January, and he was forced to haul water for his family from a gas station at Clevenger’s Corner, “I finally got disgusted,” Mr. Dye said. A new well drilled on his property produced 27 gallons a minute and as a “humanitarian act,” Mr. Dye allowed other property owners to connect to this private water source. The public system was “already ruptured” so he installed cutoff valves and hooked seven households on his side of the subdivision onto his well, he told the BZA. Other property owners have dug private wells of their own, and five houses remain connected to what was the well for the community system, he said. “At a gallon and a half a minute . . . you can pump that well dry in about five hours.” Mr. Dye reported he alone maintains both systems now, but that in light of the leaky lines and other work required on the former community system, he’s trying to make its users assume responsibilty.

According to Mr. Dye, the “Water Control Board” was appealed to by realtor Roger Batchelder after he had asked for a connection in order to develop a lot in the subdivision and was turned down by the Homeowners Association. At Mr. Batchelder’s request, officials conducted an inspection in 1983, Mr. Dye said, adding they determined that the system no longer qualified as a community water system but advised Mr. Batchelder that he would not be allowed to tap on. Although the Health Department’s files on the system “seem to end in 1980,” Mr. Burner confirmed tnat tne records mane reterence to Mr. Batchelder but without including any details. “We have not been able to conclude anything on the circumstances” leading to the apparent reclassification of the water system, he said. “I’m still puzzled over what the fate of these two water systems will be,” interjected BZA member Sid Gottleib, referring to Mr. Dye’s well with its seven connections and the original well for the community system which now has only five connections. “Do they stay in this limbo state, approved and not approved?” “We would give Dr. Williams the opportunity to request that we revoke his permit,” replied Mr. Burner, adding that the Rappahannock Lakes developer would have to state the conditions which show the system no longer meets the standards for a community water source. “If this is the way Dr. Williams wants to proceed with the system ... as a pri vate system, he should make it known to us . . . That would get us out of his hair and him out of ours.” Dr. Williams, who is planning to retire soon from his dentistry practice, reportedly wants to sell his remaining interest in the subdivision to the Homeowners Association in a “blanket deal,” Mr. Dye reported. However, he added that telephone calls and letters to Dr. Williams have not been answered. “He’s very indifferent . . . Contacting him may be a lengthy process. ” The situation becomes more complicated after Sept. 15 when the Health Department begins issuing permits for all private wells, zoning administrator John McCarthy pointed out, repeating that the agency will not grant permits in Kappahannock Lakes as long as the community water system remains on the books. And according to Mr. Shepherd, it will take more than a request from Dr. Williams to get it off the books: the Rappahannock supervisors must also advise the Health Department that “they consider the public water system vacated on the original plat approval.” (There is, however, no “original plat approval.” Established in the late 1950s when the county had neither zoning nor subdivision ordinances, the 70-lot Rappahannock Lakes development was simply recorded in the Clerk’s Office without any oversight or approval from the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors.) “There’s no other way to change this?” asked Mr. Gottleib. “That’s the way I understand it,” confirmed Mr. Burner. Public hearing on highway widening set for July 21 In response to recently surfaced opposition to plans for widening the remaining unimproved four-mile stretch of Rt. 211 between Washington and Sperryville, the Virginia Department of Transportation will hold a public hearing in Rappahannock County on Thursday, July 21. In addition, plans for the project will be presented and explained at an informational meeting set for the preceding night, Wednesday, July 20. But in the interim, the department is “continuing to proceed with the plan development of these projects,” noted J, G. Ripley, director of planning and programs at the Richmond headquarters, in a letter April 20 to Stella Cadwalader. Mrs. Cadwalader, a leader in the opposition to the dual-laning and founder of “Friends of Old Route 211,” testified with other opponents at the recent primary road allocation hearing in Culpeper. The letter, which Mr. Ripley noted came at the direction of State Highway Commissioner Ray Pethtel, announced that a public hearing will be scheduled in July to present the department’s proposal, and invited Mrs. Cadwalader to attend to pinpoint “problem areas or changes you would like to see incorporated.” Mr. Ripley also wrote: “I can sympathize with your desire to remain a rural agricultural county. However, I am sure you will agree there are a number of socio-economic factors besides a safe and efficient highway that will determine future growth patterns.” Eileen M.
