No action on rezoning O’Connell sisks residents’ input By LOU HATTER Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Washington’s Planning Commission took no action Monday on requests from The Inn at Little Washington for a rezoning of part of its property and two amendments to the town’s zoning ordinances. The planners heard comments from several residents about the applications, and one suggestion for amendments to the town’s Comprehensive Plan, which the commissioners had requested last month. After hearing the comments, Commission Chairman William Wickens announced that the two ordinance amendments; one to allow a maximum height for any structure of 45 feet by special use permit, and another to allow parking for commercial uses on another parcel under common ownership, also by special use permit, will be considered at the commission’s March meeting. As the meeting began, the amendment to allow parking was amended by the Inn’s attorney, David Dickey, from a “by-right” use to one requiring a special use permit. “The language was broader than we intended ... we do not feel that it should be a use by right. ” The rezoning request, Mr. Wickens announced, will be taken up at the April meeting. Though the courtroom was not packed as tightly as it was during last month’s hearing, it was still standing room only as the public hearing was reopened to comments. The Inn’s chef and co-owner, Patrick O’Connell, told the crowd “We wanted to acknowledge that we have listened very carefully to everything the community has said, and to your reactions.” He said he is “sorry” that the evolution of the project See INN, p. 12 Woodville postal patrons stand up to stamp-out By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Is the U. S. Postal Service frying to eliminate Woodville as a post office? Some Woodville postal patrons have become concerned as they find more and more of their mail addressed to Sperryville — or, at least, with Sperryville’s zip code on it. The Post Office Department publishes directories of zip codes and computerized on-line zip code services for bulk mailers. Woodville has been dropped from those listings at least since 1987, and as a result many catalogues have come addressed to Woodville residents with Sperryville’s zip code of 22740. Some have actually had the ad dress changed to Sperryville, 22740. The correct zip code for Woodville is 22749. When these catalogues intended for Woodville customers get to the Sperryville Post Office they are separated from the rest of Sperryville’s mail and sent to Woodville that afternoon when the truck comes through, picking up mail from each of the post offices bound for the area collection center in Culpeper. This delay means all that re-routed mail is a day late getting to Woodville customers. This was not a serious problem for most Woodville post office patrons as long as only catalogues were involved, but it did tend to exaggerate the amount of mail going through the Sperryville Post Office. However, late last year and early in 1990 much more mail, including magazines, phone bills, power bills, income tax forms, and renewal notices from the Division of Motor Vehicles, began to be misaddressed. The Woodville Post Office is not part of the regular post office system. It is an independent post office operated under contract with the Postal Service as a station under the Sperryville Post Office. The rural mail route out of Woodville is also handled on the basis of a bidding process that results in a contract. (. Postmaster Ruth Orange says that her contract says the Woodville Rural Station is “supposed to perform all See POST OFFICE, p. 12 Water, density lead concerns about proposed golf club By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Dr. Berkley Rish’s proposal to build a country club and golf course on U.S. 522 near Scrabble ran into a mixed reception at the Planning Commission’s public hearing last Wednesday night. In the end the planners tabled the special exception request for a month. Bryan Johnson of Woodville favored the plan. “I’m an avid golfer who doesn’t get to play much because I have to drive 35 miles round trip,” he said. “I’m truly excited about the development as I understand it. I think it would be really good in the community. It would give employment, and substantial employment. It would be a source of revenue without having a huge impact on the school system. I also believe golf courses are beautiful.” B. L. Price, who owns the farm adjacent to the golf course site and is married to Dr. Rish’s sister said, “If you’d put up with all the years I have of Lanes’ bull in the garden tearing up fruit trees, you’d understand why I favor this. “I’ve seen Buck (Dr. Rish) grow up,” Mr. Price continued. “He’s an outdoor person. He brought a fellow up at tremendous expense from Southern Pines in South Carolina who said it is a perfect place for a golf course. We thought about bulls or golf balls, and we’d rather have a golf course.” Louise O’Bannon said she favored the proposal because of the employment it would provide. Jim Thomasson also favored the pro posal, but noted that he has a potential conflict of interest because he might be involved in building some of the facilities at the country club. He said he had heard a lot of excitement about the proposal in “the Woodville town hall, otherwise known as Burke’s Grocery. Some favor this because they see it as less intensive and more desireable than other things.” He said that two of his children had built houses within a mile of the proposed golf course. “This use is less undesirable than small lot subdivision. “You have to look at the comprehensive plan and zoning ordinance,” he continued. “The comprehensive plan speaks to the lack of adequate recreational facilities in the county. This type of facility is the type of commercial activity that meshes well with a rural area. You have recognized that by allowing this type of facility in agricultural areas.” Other speakers were less favorably disposed towards the idea, and water demands seemed to be a main concern. Dr. Rish said that his plan would require irrigation of the fairways and greens from Fox Creek, which flows through the property. He told the planners that 75,000 gallons of water per day would be needed to irrigate the golf course, and that by diverting 40 percent of the water in the creek into holding ponds he would be able to take care of the water needed for irrigation. Robert Darby of Woodville disagreed See GOLF, p. 12 Course ready for spring 'chase By LOUISA WOODVILLE Arundel Newspapers Equestrian Editor Steeplechasing action moves south to Rappahannock this Saturday, March 3, where nine races mark the day’s card at James W. Fletcher’s Thorton Hill Farm on U.S. 522 east of Sperryville. “The course is in" excellent shape. It was dragged last week before the rain, though it’s frozen now,” said race chairman Oliver Brown Monday. “I have no doubts it’ll be 60 degrees and sunny Saturday,” he added. A warm rain expected Wednesday won’t hurt the going, according to Brown, who said the hilly course drains well. Ponies large and small race first at noon, galloping on the flat for two-thirds of a mile. Expect to see juniors Melanie Bartenstein, Amy Gable, Jennings Carney, Charlie Conaway, Ann DeMichele and Kevin Selby compete against last year’s winners Meleksha David and Casey Hinsdale. Open timber, ladies’ timber, maiden and open hurdle follow, with foxhunters jumping in the seventh race and timber owner-riders the eighth. Slated for open timber are Imperial Morn with Bay Cockbum, who is also on Ronnie Lee, Solo Orbit with Juliet Graham and Crab Apple with Dawn Dugan, both of whom might opt for ladies timber, Tougher Still with George Lee, Stag with Speedy Smithwick, Young Rodney with David Bourke and Cotuit with Brooks Durkee.

Democrats reorganize As required by the state Democratic Party plan, the county’s Democratic committee has been busy recently in carrying out the biennial reorganization of the local committee and electing new officers for the coming two-year term, according to a committee spokesman. Elected to chair the county committee was attorney Douglas Baumgardner, who practices in Washington and resides with his family on Ginger Hill, overlooking the Town of Washington. Kent Reeve of Sperryville was elected vice-chairman, succeeding Dorothy Davis, and Ed Bailey of Washington was re-elected as the committee’s treasurer. Margaret White of Sperryville was re-elected to the post of secretary. “It’s a real privilege to serve as the chairman of the Rappahannock County Democratic Committee,” Mr. Baumgardner said following his election. “I look forward to the next two years. Rappahannock County has been one of the more Democratic counties in the Seventh Congressional District, and that is, in no small measure, due to the party’s outstanding leadership - typified by our immediate past chairman, Lee Bird. “I look forward to building on past successes, and recognize that, although much has been accomplished in providing the people of this county and state with responsible and responsive government, there is much that remains to be done. “I am confident that our party will continue to enjoy success. Virginia is a Democratic state, and as long as we, as Democrats, continue to articulate a compelling vision for the future, Virginia will remain a Democratic state. “My hope is that the Rappahannock County Democratic Committee can, in some small way, at the ‘grass roots’ level, contribute to our party’s vision for the future of our county, state and nation,” Mr. Baumgardner concluded. In addition to its officers, the Democratic caucus elected 35 new members to the county committee. By precinct, they are as follows: Hampton District: Ethel Bailey, Douglas Baumgardner, William Buntin, Mary Jane Cappello, Helen Fairfax. Piedmont District: Carson Johnson, Kent Reeve, Frederick Schaefer, James Swindler, Margaret White. Stonewall-Hawthom District: Joyce Abell, Charles Jackson, Esther Schmidt, Franklin Schmidt, James Williams.

Benefit for teen accident victim Black ice is the term the weather reporters used to describe the thin layer of invisible ice that covered the roads in Virginia’s northern Piedmont the morning of Jan. 4. For most of the drivers involved in the 100-plus accidents which occured that day in the Fauquier-Culpeper-Rappahannock area, the reprocussions ranged from tow-truck bills to insurance claims. But for 19-year old Shana ‘ Nicholson, black ice brought down l a black curtain. ‘ Ms. Nicholson, an honors grad' uate from Culpeper County High School, was to begin paralegal * school this past month. Instead, * she’s fighting for consciousness and life in the intensive care unit of the University of Virginia Hospital in Charlottesville. At 7:40 a.m. on Jan. 4, Ms. Nicholson was on her way to Marefield Farm in Warrenton, where she had a job training and exercising horses and assisting with breeding and foaling. On a bridge on U.S. 229 near the Culpeper County line, her car slid on the invisible ice slick; she lost control and slammed into a State Police cruiser traveling towards Culpeper in the opposite lane. Ms. Nicholson broke both hips, fractured several vertebra, and punctured her liver, kidneys and both lungs. In addition, the trauma to her head was so severe that she remains in a coma. Shana’s mother, Sharon Nicholson, has spent every day since Jan. 4 at the hospital. “All the progress Shana is making is because her mother is there,” said Jane Mullan, president of Project Rainbow of Rappahannock-Rapidan. “Sharon bathes her, massages her, talks to her. She’s the life force that has kept Shana going, and now Shana is starting to respond.” To ensure that Sharon Nicholson can remain at her daughter’s bedside for as long as necessary, Project Rainbow is sponsoring a dinner, auction and dance at the Washington fire hall on March 10 to benefit the Nicholson family. “We intend to help with expenses * so her mother can be there with Shana until she’s ready to resume her life,” said Ms. Mullan, who shares Ms. Nicholson’s conviction that Shana can recover. As a Project Rainbow volunteer, Ms. Mullan goes regularly to UVa to help with Shana’s care. “She’s still in a coma, but I’ve seen a definite change. She is beginning to respond to stimulus, and I believe it’s because she’s had the lov turn Photo courtesy the Nicholson family IN HAPPIER TIMES, Shana Nicholson celebrates her high school graduation with her father. ing support of her mother. We’re raising money so that her mother can be there with Shana. ” Project Rainbow has a full slate of activities scheduled for the Nicholson family’s benefit on March 10. First off, there’s the dinner, set to begin at 6 p.m. The talents of some of Rappahannock County’s best cooks have been enlisted to prepare the lasagne, salad, garlic bread and desserts. The cost is $7 for adults; $4 for children under 12. Following dinner, fast-talking ... Vincent Day will wield the gavel ' for a benefit auction. The items donated to date include dinner for two at Four and Twenty Blackbirds (soon to open at the old Corner Post in Flint Hill), dinner for two at the internationally acclaimed Inn at Little Washington, a stained glass window by Sperryville artisan Patty Mullan, a child’s sweater hand-knitted by Julie Coles, wine from Washington’s Mountainside Market, jewelry from Charlottesville’s Crystal Connection and a floral still-life photographed by Connection-proprietor Pali Delevitt, a therapeutic massage from Dan Lewis, two prints from Rush River Artists Cooperative, natural toiletries from Shelly Ross’s Natural Market in Warrenton, a landscape by Flint Hill photographer Beth Levick, and a basket woven by Rappahannock artist and playwright Catherine Kiley. ' After the dinner and auction, the tables will be pushed back against the walls to clear the floor for dancing to the rock and roll music of the OK’s, the regionally renowned Rappahannock band recently reunited for Relapse Tour 1990. Admission to the dance is $8 per person. Practically every penny of the proceeds from the March 10 benefit will go to the Nicholson family via Project Rainbow. The organization has no overhead; its administration is strictly volunteer. In addition, all those participating — from the cooks to the auctioneer to the OK’s — are donating both materials and services. Even the Washington Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad offered the use of its facilities free of charge. (But since this group is also a volunteer organization needing support, Project Rainbow will make a donation to the WVFD for the use of the firehall, the only “cost” to be deducted from the evening’s gate.) Anyone interested in knowing more about Project Rainbow or anyone wanting to help with the Nicholson family benefit should contact Ms. Mullan at 987-8978. In addition to auction items and pans of lasagne, financial contributions would be gratefully accepted. As a tax-exempt, charitable organization, donations to Project Rainbow are tax deductible.

Page dashes Panther title hopes, 62-55 By LOU HATTER Rappahannock N«wt SUIT Writer They said it couldn’t be done. Page County couldn’t beat Rappahannock for a third time in one season — the fourth if the Christmas tournament counts. The pundits were wrong. Though Rappahannock dominated their Valley rivals through the first quarter and most of the second in their semi-final round matchup last Thursday night, Page failed to lose the spark which has kept them plugging along this season. The Valley Panthers’ determination showed in the second half, as they pulled ahead of Rappahannock — and stayed in front as the Panthers fought foul trouble in the third quarter. Coach Gary Leake pointed to that early foul trouble with two of his most dependable starters, Francisco Vicente and Paul Hitt, as major problems which forced adjustments in Rappahannock’s game plan. The aggressive defensive play under the boards was nowhere to be seen in the second half, but when Vicente picked up his third foul early in the third quarter, Coach Leake pulled the senior exchange student from Spain. That left the Panthers without their most potent rebounding asset. Hitt, meanwhile, led the Panther offense with 14 points, all scored in the first half. He was hit with his third foul with less than two minutes gone in the third period, and rode the bench for much of the second half. Hitt had been consistently deadly with his outside shot, and his lossaleft Rappahannock without a strong offensive leader. But even without Hitt and Vicente, the Panthers played flat through the third quarter. They let a five point lead dissipate, and Page took the lead, 44-42, with one second left on the clock. Though the scoring was fairly even through the first four minutes of the final quarter, without Vicente and Hitt the Panthers were never able to put together a consistent offensive attack to get back the lead. They pulled to within two points with just over four minutes left, but then Page made two free throws and a three-pointer from outside and the game was out of reach. In addition to the foul trouble, Coach Leake blamed his team’s poor free throw average. In the quarterfinal game against Strasburg, the Panthers, managed 80 percent from the charity stripe. Against Page, that average slipped to 40 percent, and was even lower in the second half. “If we’d done that tonight it would have been a good game. “The little things killed us,” the coach added. ???

THURSDAY, MARCH 1,1990 Editorial Call for compromise We applaud Patrick O’Connell’s suggestion that a citizens’ advisory panel be established to assist the design of the planned expansion of The Inn at Little Washington. It is indicative of the type of innovative and flexible thinking which has characterized this world-renowned chefs rise to the height of his profession. It is certainly to the credit of Mr. O’Connell, and his partner Reinhardt Lynch, that they have acknowledged — albeit belatedly — that their project is indeed something which is deserving of the suggestions of the townspeople and others who will be affected by the result. Though many people unfamiliar with our town might scoff at the idea that a 22 room expansion of a hotel constitutes a major project, in a town as small as Washington, with its 200-year history and the fierce loyalty of its residents — such a project indeed has the potential to rend forever the fabric of the community if it is done without a clear understanding of the potential dangers. On the other hand, the Inn has, for the most part, been an asset to the town. It has brought revenue, and jobs, and new people who love the spirit of this town which traces its history directly to the founding of our republic. Though Messrs. O’Connell and Lynch apparently attempted to take into account the feelings of the residents as they worked with their architects, that is a different thing from actually talking with and listening to those residents. Laurie Marshall’s comments at January’s public hearing addressed just that point. Mr. O’Connell’s offer Monday shows that they have realized their mistake. His suggestion, if implemented, could go a long way toward alleviating the strained relations which have often characterized the Inn’s dealings with the town during its 12year history. Much of that strain, we feel, is caused by a lack of understanding by the town of the Inn’s goals — and for the Inn’s part, of the concerns of the town about what they are about. The debate about the Inn’s expansion has, thus far, unfortunately been conducted more by inuendo and character assassination than through a dispassionate discussion of the issues involved. We’re not going to point fingers in that regard. Those involved know who they are — and would probably indignantly deny any such accusation anyway. We think that Mr. O’Connell’s offer represents an opportunity for both sides, for the Inn’s supporters as well as its opponents, to elevate the debate to a level which is worthy of the Town of Washington. We hope that volunteers from both camps will be willing to forget their personal differences and sit down to talk — realizing that everyone involved has the best interests of their town and county seat at heart. There are no guarantees that Mr. O’Connell’s suggestion will meet with success. But if it is not at least given an opportunity, we’re afraid that both sides will end up as losers. r Commentary Rappahannock News phouVCindy Mahan PIECE BY PIECE, this log house dating from about 1790 on U.S. 522 near Huntly is being dismantled. The owner, Fred Kummli, plans to rebuild the house on Route 637. Letters to the editor Mrs. Willis will abstain To the editor: I have in hand a letter from the Commonwealth Attorney and a letter from my attorney, both of which indicate that I do not have a “personal interest” in the Inn’s application for zoning approvals. In other words, I have no legal conflict of interest. However, I am not a politician. I consider myself a public servant. If even a few of my neighbors feel uncomfortable with my voting on this issue, that, standing alone, is enough for me to step aside and abstain. Therefore, I will not participate further, as a member of Town Council, in matters involving the Inn. I will not cast a vote on these is sues. I do, however, reserve the right to express my opinion as a resident of the Town of Washington. Frankly, I am tired of the acrimony, bitterness, spite and ill-will that has characterized the debate of these issues. Why can’t we, as good neighbors, express honest differences of opinion without injecting personalities into our debate? I hope that, in some small way, my decision to abstain on this issue will help us to achieve this end. Enough is enough. Let’s stop the pettiness and get on with the business of the town. EVELYN WILLIS Washington Agriculture no failure i o me editor: A prominent official has characterized agriculture here as a failure. This is probably a matter of opinion at best, but it may be a generally prevailing viewpoint; so it is worthwhile examining. After all, if agriculture is a big factor in our local economy, the truth or otherwise of these sentiments is pretty relevant to the livelihoods of a lot of people. The facts are not difficult to come by, especially from “Virginia Agricultural Statistics, 1988”, an official state publication. This publication shows that the cattle business here values in most OjasmMwocft ww orvAf\f\\ wir\n. 'll WHS ^ ^ $cvm ___ - ^AV w> *Ul\Uo»l "«":«* ^ I ^rt(<^ -Wve 5i3^» /‘f i »'r,n5 -js ^ V\Aet4 wAt .

PRESIDENT P" ■w. iIk'Iia •" years $2.5 to $3 million (depending on the vagaries of cattle pricing), tree fruit is still typically a little over $2 million, and forest products, corn for grain, other animal husbandary, and other fruits and vegetables contribute $1 million or over. The total, then, is $5.5 to $6 million. How does this compare with Rappahannock’s total economy? Although this is a somewhat elusive figure, I was told that the total retail sales is a useful measure of this, coming to $13 million. We end up with agriculture bulking about $8 million, counting in revenues of the support activity — the Rappahannock Farmers Coop — in an economy whose total is something like $16 to $20 million. Agriculture, then, is a substantial fraction of economic activity here, 35 percent to 50 percent, and this fraction is larger than that prevailing in neighboring counties of our Planning District (Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison and Orange counties). There may be a burgeoning tourist and recreation industry here, but so far the big one is agriculture. Aside from this, no replacement activity is in sight except real estate development. Recalling that most people come here for open spaces and fresh air, the impending shift to some sort of “asphalt jungle” is a rather poor prospect. Indeed, persons who have experienced this elsewhere report it is accompanied by much higher taxes and a poorer quality of living. It should come as no surprise that there are those who wouldn’t mind the demise of agriculture. But still, Wall Street financial men are saying the ‘nineties will be the “decade of the farmer” and are placing their bets accordingly. It is possible that Rappahannock, for a lot of technical reasons which may or may not be understood by our leaders, will participate in some of this. GEORGE H. SHARP Washington A disproportionate share To the editor: There are, according to Kermit Weakley, 251 inhabitants of Washington, “if they are all home.” I have no source for a similar estimate of the number of county residents. Suppose, however, that a reasonable estimate is 6,300 and don’t worry about whether they are ever all at home because they are not. That means that the Town of Washington accounts for four percent of the county population. But of late they have been getting virtually all of your “letter to the editor” space and a disproportionate amount of your news space. Don’t you know that there are scandals, gossip, backbiting and other wonderful diversions in the rest of the county? For example, right here in Tiger Valley, I was told that since I once paid taxes to the District of Columbia government (I don’t know how they knew), I am not fit for office. I refuse to resign from the Lions, however. If they won’t have me, who will? And besides, it was all legal. I have also been accused of having an interest in the Inn. I don’t know why; my accusers are shadowy. But perhaps it is that I have been trying to grow more raspberries, albeit unsuccessfully, than my family can eat. The Inn does make a fine raspberry sauce. Over in Amissville, people have been throwing garbage in their own back-yard. I have been told that even their supervisor, Mr. Bingham, has been seen doing it. Up in Flint Hill, Tommy Wil liams, our agricultural extensiop agent and a native son, was actually caught talking to a member of the Wakefield faculty. ! Down at Sperryville, there ijs talk of paying for their sewage system by imposing a dried flower ta^. There are also complaints that, while Washington’s problems were brought on by affluence, Sperrjiville’s have more to do with effluence. ; In Woodville, Raymond Johnsorj, another native son and a deceptively gentle gentleman, has been conspiring with a retired conservative admiral and others to pull off some sort of sting operation. I haven’t been down towards Madison lately, so I can’t say wh$t sort of delicious doings are happening in the F.T. Valley. ; If you publish this, you will no doubt get a pile of angry retorts arid lame excuses. Then, if you publish those, I would have to respond —niy dream is to get two letters in the same issue. Soon charge and countercharge would fly and the rest of the county would have its rightful share of the letters to the editor column. ! Regardless, it is your job to get out and cover these and other stbries. You may, if you’d like, photograph my raspberry patch. W. MICHAEL MAHONEY Washington Editor’s note: The F. T. Valley is Editor Lou Hatter’s home turf. He could tell you what’s doing down that way, but then his neighbors probably won’t offer to share their raspberries with him any more. C’est la vie, Mr. Mahoney. Keep the door open totne editor: When I first moved to the town of Washington, I was impressed by the loyalty that newcomers as well as long-time residents had for their town. The preservation of this historic hamlet seemed paramount. Now it seems that this common goal has been forgotten, and people are no longer “lrinder and gentler” but are busy back stabbing and verbally abusing one another! Since we really have the best interest of Washington at heart, couldn’t this wasted energy be rechanneled to the issue at hand? It really isn’t a “Yea” or “Nay” situation, with folks being divided on the growth of this village or not; haven’t you folks heard of compromise? This town could do a lot worse than having a five-star inn on Main Street. Was the dance hall/garage a structure to be proud of? Come on let’s work together on establishing growth with control. Keep the lines of communication open between residents, elected officials and the owners of the Inn. There is always room for compromise. Do not close the door that can’t be reopened. POLLY ERICKSON Washington RAWL says 'thanks' lothe editor: It is again our pleasant task to thank our many supporters who have helped us. The benefit dance for the Rappahannock Animal Welfare League was a wonderful success and because of all of the hard work and thought we earned approximately $2,000. We would especially like to express our appreciation to “The Crazy Eights” for their generosity. And most important of all, our animal friends thank you. THE MEMBERS OF RAWL Washington

The water dowser By GERALD S. HAWKINS Rappahannock News Contributing: Writer “My name is Hazel,” the young girl said, as she shook my hand rather jerkily in a cold northeast wind, which whipped us as we stood on the Ridge. She was tall, slender, and had large brown eyes. Her name, Hazel, seemed a good omen for the job ahead. She was a student halfway through a course on water dowsing, and wanted to try out what she had learned in a farm situation. Myself, although I had not been too impressed with the results I had seen in England, I would never turn down the prospect of a gushing spring beneath my feet, and so I had agreed to the experiment. Hazel was the name of the .' nearby river with clear, soft-flowing water, and on the farm we had witch-hazel trees growing at the edge of the meadow. When you hold a hazel twig in your hand it twists and jumps anytime you are over water — if you are a skilled dowser —of course. Strangely enough, Hazel refused to use the hazel twigs that I cut for her. They were too brittle, and not -the correct “V” shape. Hazel was strong-willed, competent and in; sisted on doing things her own way. She pulled out a cut crystal hanging by a silk thread, and explained -how the gentle swing of the crystal would answer questions about water, if water was there, such as “what is the exact location?” “is it running?” and “what is the depth in feet?” She needed to be left alone, in perfect quietness on the slope of the Ridge, otherwise the crystal would pick up the wrong vibrations. , My wife, Julia, and I went back into the farm house, and watched the process through a chink in the curtains. Hazel walked slowly up the ■Ridge for a few paces, stopped, and then walked on again. She repeated Perspective this movement every minute or so, and she watched the swing of the crystal, forward and back, and side to side. I didn’t want to tell her, but there was not much hope in the direction of the Ridge, because the land was what the Department of Agriculture called LoD, Louisburg sandy loam, steep phase, soil. Back in the 1930’s, it had been thoroughly mapped and tested. From the map, I knew the soil was less than 15 inches deep, and below that it was dry, hard, weathered rock. Actually, it was one of the driest areas of the farm, suitable for trees, or hay, but not crops. I’m always the first to admit when I am wrong, and this seemed to be one of those occasions. Hazel’s crystal was doing circles over a low clump of orchard grass. She had obviously got a dowsing signal, and was beckoning us to join her. Julia and I ran out, and heard the good news. There was running water under the turf, right at that spot, at a crystal-measured depth of “more than two feet, but less than three.” I grabbed a long-handled shovel, took off a neat circle of turf, and began digging. One spit down with the shovel blade I knew something was different. There was no hard rock, just good, reddish loam. I continued to dig, making a straight-sided hole with earth piled up around the edge. At two feet it was still the same easy-to-dig soil, and I continued down, following the crystal’s orders. Six inches further I dug very carefully, because if there was an underground stream, it might break through the walls and flood the hole. But the hole stayed dry. Even at a depth of 36 inches as measured by a yardstick, it was still dry. There was not the slightest sign of mud or moisture. I looked up at Hazel. She had put her crystal away, and was standing on the earth beside the hole. Having gone down this far, I was not for giving up. Running water is worth having on a farm at any depth. “Try your crystal again,” I said, “maybe the water is a bit further down.” “No, I haven’t done it right. I’m only half way through my dowsing course, and there are things I don’t know about yet. Fill in the hole, and I’ll come back when I’m fully qualified,” said Hazel in a matter-of-fact manner. She was not yet a professional dowser, and so there was no consulting fee. She said I should look upon it as a free demonstration. I thanked her for coming, and she went off, presumably to continue her studies. But I didn’t fill in the hole as she said. That yard-deep hole was a wonderful opportunity for a soil test. All the while I was digging, I was wondering why I hadn’t hit the rock at a depth of 15 inches as the The Rappahannock County Public Schools offer a fine Vocational Education Program at Rappahannock County High School.

Something didn’t quite fit. I asked a friend who is a geologist to come over and look down the hole. There was no doubt about the quality of the soil — good red loam, the sacred soil of Virginia, deep enough for a tilled crop. My geologist friend explained how soil maps were only rough guides, and often the soil type was not exactly what the map indicated. It was not unusual for a few acres of clay-loam to occur inside an area marked off as Louisburg soil. So far as he could tell, it was a Culpeper loam, known officially as CuC2. When I asked him how deep the water was below the bottom of the hole, he said the first water would be the Blue Ridge aquifer, 100 feet at least, buried under a dome of solid granite. As I filled in the hole, I decided that alfalfa would be worth trying. Its roots need deep loam, and a low water table. Alfalfa would add to the nutrient value of the grass-clover hay mix. Hazel’s dowsing crystal might have failed to find running water, but it certainly led me to a patch of good soil.

Tune ups & Repan Sperryvllle Pike 703/025-8160 Attend Church Sunday This week's message brought to you courtesy of: John R. Pendleton Promise Land Baptist Church IT IS GOOD TO FORGIVE In Matthew 18:21 and 22, Jesus speaks of forgiveness, when Peter came to Him and said Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, until seven times: but, until seventy times seven. And in Luke 17:3 and 4 Jesus is still teaching forgiveness when He said, Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him. It is good to forgive others, if we want God to forgive us. In Mark 11:25 and 26, Jesus said, and when ye stand praying, forgive if ye have aught against any that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. In Luke 23: and 34, while Jesus was still on the cross, He said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. Even while He was suffering so much, He was still able to remember forgiveness. This shows and tells us, that, no matter what someone has done to us, as children of God, we should be able to forgive. Ask God to help you find the answer you are searching for. He is always there when we need Him and we need Him every day, every hour, every minute and every second.

Mrs. Frances Bradford has returned to her home after spending a Real Estate ^ Eileen M. Day REALTOR” ’ CHANGE IN LOAN QUALIFYING More than half of all homeowners are now choosing Adjust able Rate Mortgages (ARMS) because they start off with lower rates. The rates are lower be cause interest rates can change to match changes in market rates. This protects the lenders who won't be stuck with low inter est mortgages if rates skyrocket. One aspect of ARMS hits bothersome. Some buyers have had a hard time meeting higher payments when rates have gone up. Some have defaulted on their loans. Now, the largest buyers of mortgages in the secondary mar ket: Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and others, require lenders to qualify ARM borrowers at the maximum rate that could be charged in the second year of ownership. The new regulations may make it somewhat harder for marginal borrowers to obtain ARMS, but in the long run, it should be better for everyone. Those who make larger down payments are not faced with as stiff requirements as those making lower down payments. For more information on financing, call our office.

Separating wheat from chaff on nutrition bookshelf By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent Since this is March and we are observing National Nutrition Month sponsored by the American Dietetic Association, it seems appropriate to share information from a Good Nutrition reading list that I recently received from the association. It is a brief list compiled by them of reliable books and resources on the subject of nutrition. If you have visited a bookstore or scanned a magazine counter recently, you may have noticed that the nutrition bookshelf is packed with “how to” volumes about diet, fitness, and nutrition for good health. Some of the advice is good, some not so good. Just because a book is on the best seller list does not guarantee that it is a reliable source of information. Guidelines forjudging The Dietetic Association provides these guidelines for evaluating nutrition best-sellers. First, consider the source of information. Is the author associated with a program, institution, university or endeavor that is recognized for integrity and has a well known com*!■' I',—I HOME ECONOMICS mitment to nutrition and human health? What are his credentials or educational background? They should be in the fields of nutrition, health or medical science, or health science journalism. Secondly, look at the facts. Are they documented with statements of reference from scientific journals which publish original research? Are both “pro’s” and “con’s” given? (Both answers should be yes.) And remember that any respectable quote has a decent reference with it at all times. Also, look for the facts. Are there any? Or is the book a collection of opinion and individual, personal testimonials? Interesting as “case studies” are, unless they are part of well designed, controlled research, they remain just “interesting” because the base-line information and variable controls are not in place for accurate interpretation of recounted data. Beware of the magic formula. Is there a pill, plan, pan or potion necessary to achieve the promised results? Is the author offering information or conning you into buying his gimmick? Reputable nutrition information does not come with a money back guarantee. And, lastly, check for balance. Is USDA Choice Beef Untrimmed (12-14 Lbs. Avg.) Sliced FREE!

Nutrition is an intricate science of many checks and balances. No one nutrient — by its presence or its absence can cure everything. Especially beware of weight-loss diet books that advocate diets which omit one or more of the food groups.

The following two recipes are from the American Heart Association’s Low Fat, Low-Cholesterol Cookbook The pancakes use skim milk and egg whites plus rolled oats and whole wheat flour to make them low in fat and high in fiber. Whole-grain oatmeal pancakes 13/4 cups skim milk 1 tablespoon honey 1 1/2 cups rolled oats (not instant oatmeal) 1 cup whole-wheat flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 4 large egg whites 1/4 cup vegetable oil In a small bowl, mix milk and honey until honey is dissolved. Add oatmeal and stir to coat evenly; set aside. In another bowl, stir together flour and baking powder. Add oat mixture, egg whites and 3 tablespoons oil. Stir just until mixed. In a large, nonstick skillet, heat remaining tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Pour batter, in 1/4 cup portions, into skillet. When pancakes have a bubbly surface and have just begun to dry around the edges turn to cook the other side. Serve immediately. Serves 4. 3, 4-inch pancakes per serving. Short stack or tall — these hearty pancakes are sure to please. The high-fiber goodness of whole grains and oatmeal is a great way to start the day. Serve them with Apple-Raisin Sauce or Blueberry Sauce. Apple-raisin sauce 3 medium apples 2 cups apple juice 1/4 cup raisins 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 tablespoon cornstarch 2 tablespoons cold water Peel apples, if desired; core and coarsely chop. In a large saucepan, combine apples, juice, raisins and cinnamon over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes, or until apples are tender. Meanwhile, combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Add to apple-raisin mixture and cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes, stirring until thick and smooth. Serve warm. Serves 6, 1/2 cup per serving.

Golf Continued from page 1 with this analysis. He said that most golf courses are putting in “double tiered irrigation systems” which require 150,000 to 250,000 gallons per day. Dr. Rish said that 100 acres is considered adequate for a golf course, and Mr. Darby also disagreed with that. “One hundred acres is minimum. Golf designers prefer to start with 150, and even that makes a pretty tight course,” he said. Mr. Darby also suggested that the planners needed to “know the financial capabilities.” “You’re talking about a four to six million dollar job and a two to three year program. The commission needs to make sure there is the capability to do it. . . I’m not against this; I’m skeptical,” he said. Robert Dennis said the Piedmont Environmental Council, which he represents, does not have any position on Dr. Rish’s golf course or any of the courses that are being considered by the counties the PEC serves. “We believe properly planned recreation is one of the best ways to preserve land,” Mr. Dennis told the planners. “The questions are is the location right? Is the scale right? and we need some feel for the economics of it.” Susan Babcock asked Dr. Rish if he intended to live in Rappahannock and manage the property. Dr. Rish said he would. “I’m in the last phase of my neurosurgical career,” he said. “This is my next career.” He said he also intended to employ Rappahannock residents in his operation. “I’m not for or against this,” Ms Babcock said. “Please consider it carefully.” Frank Reynolds, speaking for the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, said, “RLEP doesn’t have a position for or against this because we don’t have the information.” i m an avid goller, and anybody that doesn’t like golf doesn’t understand it,” Mr. Reynolds said. But he suggested a golf course might not work out in Dr. Rish’s location. “If you don’t,” Mr. Reynolds warned, “in an area like this it’s a magnet for more development. In order to make the golf course go, we’re going to need some more houses. We have to view any development with polite suspicion.” Washington resident Mark Bailey, a member of the town’s Planning Commission, said he was concerned about the “massive amounts of water pouring onto the surface and the run off of pesticides. “Where Fox Creek runs to, it will impact rivers further downstream,” he said. With comments from the public concluded, the meeting turned to comments from the planners, and it was apparent the members did not agree on the number of lots which could be created on the property.

Wakefield District representative Werner Krebser maintained that in computing allowed density 50 acres should first be subtracted for the golf course and 20 acres subtracted for the lodge, creating a residue of 68 acres, which would allow only two more lots to be created. County Administrator John McCarthy disagreed with that reading of the zoning ordinance, but said the residue would constitute a lot, and that therefore only four houses could be built. All agreed that they would need a slope analysis of the property to determine allowed density. The planners asked Dr. Rish to provide further information, specifically a slope analysis, and responses to a number of concerns raised in the public hearing for the March meeting and warned him that they still may not feel able to vote on his proposal at that meeting. Earlier, the planners re-elected Allen Stokes as chairman and David Fannon as vice chairman. They also recommended approval for a special exception for a two-acre parcel on J. Clifford Miller’s farm outside Sperryville, a special use permit for Mrs. Arland Welch to construct a building for the Huntly Post Office, and a special use permit for Mrs. Virginia Dodson to construct a family apartment in a separate building on her property for her daughter. They also approved Robert Metcalfe’s request to withdraw his special exception application for the Flint Hill packing shed “without prejudice.” That means that he can reapply at any time. There were no public comments on the Capital Improvements Plan, and the planners voted to adopt it as advertised except that they dropped the library’s request for $100,000 for next year and added $10,000 for land acquisition for a new school. The planners also voted to add, as a requirement for family subdivisions, that a person must own the land for five years before applying for a family subdivision. 1 r TIMBERBUILT CONSTRUCTION CO.

It was, he admitted, a lot to digest. But, Mr. O’Connell explained, the Inn decided that, rather than approach the project one step at a time, first requesting the rezoning and then, later asking for the other necessary permits, he and partner Reinhardt Lynch decided to lay the entire plan on the table at the beginning. However, he acknowledged, the depth of reaction from those who spoke in opposition to the project last month had surprised them. “Now, we see that we and our architect could benefit from much more input from the community.” He said that he and Mr. Lynch would like to create a “citizens’ advisory board” to the project’s designers. Mr. O’Connell suggested that representatives from “various segments of the community, fairminded people; who will meet with us, communicate with us.” The Inn, Mr. O’Connell promised, “will be open to as much input as we can possibly get. It is clear now how controversial an issue this is for us.” The project is a challenge, Mr. O’Connell acknowledged, “but the real challenge is harmonious relations between the Inn and the town — to end any bitterness.” In response to a query from Mr. Wickens, Mr. O’Connell emphasized that the Inn is not withdrawing or modifying its rezoning application. “We are merely indicating our willingness of flexibility in design . . . that is not graven in stone. We are flexible.” Hodge Miller asked the planners to “think long and hard before granting these amendments.” He cited 16 possible conflicts with the town’s Comprehensive Plan. “If indeed fchuP (comprehensive) plan is a good fine, could it have become outdated so quickly?” Julian Kulski, an architect who is presently involved in the expansion of The Meadows home in town, noted that he last spoke at the hearing on the jail addition. “I spoke about the need to maintain historic continuity. I’m here tonight for the same reason. “It is not a question of growth versus no-growth,” Mr. Kulski maintained. “It is a question of the type of growth. If designed properly and fit into the pattern of the town, the Inn can add on and be a good thing. If designed wrong, it can destroy it.” Nan Thomasson presented a petition to the planners with 56 signatures urging that some compromise be sought. Diane Bruce said that, in response to Mr. Miller’s reference to Mr. Gannon’s opinion piece, she was “offended that the Town Council and the Board of Supervisors could be thought to be so unsophisticated that they would allow this one application to be the ‘Fairfaxing’ of Rappahannock County.” Laurie Marshall said that, in her opinion, Mr. Gannon’s article missed one important point. “Retired people coming here are a part of the problem. It’s very hard to make a living here.” Former mayor Newbill Miller suggested two amendments to the Comprehensive Plan’s goals which would have made them slightly more restrictive, but failed to gain a motion for a public hearing on either one from the Planning Commission. Mr. Wickens asked the Inn’s representatives if they planned to offer any amendments to the Comprehensive Plan. Their counsel, Mr. Dickey, said no. “It is our belief that, if fairly construed, our application is not in conflict.” “So it is the position of the Inn that the application is in conformance with the goals?” Mr. Wickens asked. “Substantially,” Mr. Dickey replied.

As to being under the Sperryville Post Office, Mrs. Orange said that means “I make all my reports to Sperryville, and I order all my supplies from there.” Mrs. Orange says that between one-third and one-fourth of Woodville’s mail is going first through Sperryville. In Sperryville, new Postmaster Karen Zachok is finding that a large bin is being filled every day with mail for Woodville that should not have come to Sperryville at all. For a while they were putting a stamp on this mail that said, “please inform your correspondents of your correct address.” This irritated and confused postal patrons that felt they were not responsible for the incorrect address. Now Mrs. Orange and Ms Zachok have agreed to try to solve the problem within the Post Office Department. But solving it will take time. The Zip Plus Four directories for Washington D. C. and Virginia printed from January 1987 through January 1990 all say “see Sperryville” under the listing for Woodville. When a reader turns to Sperryville, he will find no mention of Woodville. There is a listing for the Sperryville Postmaster and GeneralDelivery Sperryville, followed by listings for the Post Offices boxes in Sperryville. Next comes a listing under Highway Contract 64.

Under 227 Culpeper, 22740 and 22749 are both listed as Sperryville. However Postal Service’s on-line computerized directory has been corrected and now lists Wood ville as 22749. Paul Cooper with the Post Office’s Address Information System in Richmond said that a correction was made in the computerized system when the problem was brought to the attention of his office on Jan. 4, 1990. Mr. Cooper said that the 1991 printed directories will reflect that change. In the meantime, he suggested, Woodville post office patrons can possibly help prevent any more mail from being misdirected by listing “H C 64” in front of their box numbers on their addresses.
