Kappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter ONLY CHIMNEYS AND FOUNDATION remain following the fire that destroyed Sperryville’s historic Oak Hill. To the right of the house is the enormous oak tree, 23 feet in circumference, which was also consumed by the flames. Oak Hill destroyed by fire Cause of early morning blaze unknown By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Oak Hill, the home of Arthur and Peggy Smith, was destroyed by fire early Saturday morning. The magnificent landmark, which overlooked Sperryville from a hill just west of U.S. 522, burned to the ground in about 20 minutes, according to Assistant Chief Richie Burke of the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department, who was in charge on the foreground. Mrs. Smith’s son, who was visiting for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, discovered the fire shortly after 2 a.m. when he woke up to close a window in his bedroom. He woke the rest of the family, and all were able to escape the quickly spreading flames. Mrs. Smith and her mother were both burned by the fire, but neither required hospitalization. Asst. Chief Burke said that because the house was so completely destroyed by the fire, he was unable to determine its cause. He said he felt that the fire must have been burning for some time before it was discovered. “It was so fully involved in such a short period of time,” Chief Burke said, “I’ve never seen a house go up as fast as it did.” The Smith family, he said, is speculating that the oil furnace in the basement may have exploded and caused the fire. Chief Burke said that is a plausible explanation for the speed with which the fire spread “I’ve never seen a house go up as fast as it did. ” — Asst. Chief Richie Burke Sperryville VFD through the entire structure. Older homes, like Oak Hill, were generally built of “balloon construction,” with hollow walls that rise from basement to attic. Without any firebreaks inside the walls, once a fire gets inside it climbs the natural flue created by the wall into the attic. Then, it spreads across the eaves, engulfing the entire structure in a matter of minutes. The age of the house, Asst. Chief Burke said, meant that much of the structural wood was quite dry and easily kindled, adding to the speed of the fire’s spread. He said that firefighters responded as soon as the alarm was sounded, but one member who lives in Sperryville said when he left his house about two minutes later all he saw was a massive fireball on the hill. “All he saw was flames — he said there was nothing he could even distinguish as a house,” Asst. Chief Burke said. “I could see the glow in the sky when I left my house in Woodville.” Volunteers from Flint Hill re ported seeing the fire’s glow from Massies Comer, and those from Salem in Culpeper County said they could see the glow from their firehouse. With the house fully involved when the firefighters arrived, Asst. Chief Burke said all they could do was protect the surrounding outbuildings and two cars parked in the driveway near the house. He said that sparks from the fire, which was fanned by the gusty winds which swirled around the hill crest all night, started numerous small fires in the dry brush in the fields surrounding the house, and one fire truck was required just to put out those persistent fires. A total of 12 pieces of fire apparatus from Sperryville, Washington, Flint Hill, Amissville, Salem and Sperryville Rescue responded to the fire. About 35 firefighters fought the fire until about 8 a.m., using an estimated 50,000 gallons of water to protect the nearby structures and cool See FIRE, p. A-6 ttfeu Rock's sign snubbed Family apartment, B&Bs recommended By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newi SUIT Writer The county Planning Commission voted to recommend approval for two new bed and breakfast establishments and for a family apartment but balked at approving a sign for the Bleu Rock Inn. The planners recommended that the Board of Zoning Appeals approve an application by Philip and Elizabeth Johnson to build a family apartment for Mr. Johnson’s brother David. 7 don t like the precedent of approving a sign that large. Its almost a billboard. ” — Sid Gottlieb Planning Commissioner The building will replace an existing tool shed with a two-story 24-foot square building with storage space and some living 6pace in the lower level and more living space in the upstairs level. “We want to make it look like a small house,” Philip Johnson said. “I understand the requirement that the living space not exceed 800 square feet. My intention is not to create a second house. It’s on my property, close to my house.” He said the new building will share his well but may require a separate septic system. He said his brother would not be using the apartment as his full-time residence “initially,” but he hoped to be living in it full-time in the near future. Sid Gottleib, who represents the BZA on the Planning Commission, asked County Administrator John McCarthy if the conditions for a family apartment required it to be used full time. “I wonder if that wasn’t the intent of the Board of ' Supervisors,” ^r. McCarthy replied, “but there’s nothing in the ordinance about it.” v John Clark Jr.’s motion to recommend approval subject to Health Department approval passed unanimously. Douglas and Eloise Weaver also received a recommendation of approval for their Mountain View Farm bed and breakfast located on Route 707 near Slate Mills. The bedrooms will be located inside the existing house, with three rental bedrooms upstairs and one to be located in the basement. Mr. Weaver said that space is currently unfinished, and he hopes to make it into a “rustic suite” with its own outside entrance. Mike Massie, who represents the Board of Supervisors on the Planning Commission, asked about how the parking would be screened from the road. “One of the largest holly trees in the state of Virginia screens it pretty well,” Mr. Weaver said. The planners voted to recommend approval subject to Virginia Department of Transportation and health department approval. Wayne and Dorothy Weller also won approval for a three room bed and breakfast to be located in their existing house in Old Hollow. Planner Sharon Pierce pointed out that the house is the one where, in April 1988, a kidnapper and his hostages were discovered hiding. TTie kidnapper was shot and killed by an FBI sharpshooter as he walked to a helicopter parked in the field in front of the farmhouse. The Wellers said they had bought the house in April and moved into it in October. They said it had four bedSee PLANNERS, p. A-6 Christmas food drive for needy By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer This year's downturn in the economy has produced a need for even more assistance from the community in meeting the needs of some county families during the holidays, according to the Department of Social Services. Each year, the department sponsors a canned food drive to provide Christmas baskets, complete with turkeys and all the trimmings, to needy families around the county. Last year, enough food and cash donations were collected to make 55 baskets. “We would like to do at least that many,” said social worker Marie Davis. “The need is even greater this year, with the economy, and layoffs and jobs lost.” Mrs. Davis said the department is looking for canned and boxed non-perishable food items for the baskets. In addition, she said, personal health items like toothpaste, paper items, razors, soap and other similar things will be appreciated. The department will accept See NEEDY, p.

Bankrupt Avtex starts selling assets Cost of cleanup nears $9 million, says EPA By MARY K. BLEWITT and ROGER BIANCHINI Arundel Newspapers Staff Writers FRONT ROYAL — At this time last year Avtex Fibers of Front Royal was entangled in a string of environmental violations that eventually led to its closing. The plant, once the sole supplier of carbonized rayon for NASA and the U.S. Department of Defense, was forced to shut down on Nov. 10, 1989, after the Virginia Water Control Board revoked its water discharge license. The company then received a $6 million fine for polluting the Shenandoah River with cancer-linked polychlorinated byphenyls (PCBs). The environmental fine was the largest ever handed down by a Virginia court. Now, one year later, the Environmental Protection Agency has removed the last of 370 tons of hazardous and potentially explosive carbon disulfide from the Superfund site. As the EPA released the next phase of clean-up this month, the cost of clean-up neared $9 million, only a portion of the anticipated cost. The dilapidated Avtex plant has been gradually dismantled. Tanks that once contained the carbon disulfide were ripped apart by huge mechanical shears last week. The tank remains may eventually be sold as scrap metal or dumped at an approved landfill site. The company itself lies in the midst of a bankruptsy case filed in February, claiming more than $60 million in debt. The U.S. Bankruptsy Court in Reading, Pa., has approved the first sale of equipment from the Front Royal plant site as part of the Chapter 11 action taken by Avtex Fibers Inc. The court approved the sale of several hundred beams and large spinning wheels to Equipments Marketing Services Inc. (EMS) of Dalton, Ga., and the sale of two double-deck yarn spinning machines to Zarroli and Associates of Naples, Fla. Bankruptcy court trustee Anthony H. Murray Jr., in charge of the disbursement of assets to help recoup part of the debt owed to creditors by Avtex, said he hopes to be able to sell as much of the assets as possible before they are turned into scrap metal. Mr. Murray said that the removal of the large spinning machines will be more costly than the actual purchase of the equipment. EPA officials stress that all equipment must be declared free of contamination before it is permitted to leave the site. The on-site assets, excluding the building and grounds, have been valued at $3.5 million, according to Mr. Murray. The EPA placed a $40 million lien on the property to help pay for the cleanup operation at the 400-plusacre site. Nearly 300 of the 400 workers who lost their jobs-at Avtex have been absorbed back into the workforce through the Shenandoah Valley Private Industry Council. A small staff of 17 guards, maintenance men and staff members headed by former Avtex officer David Tousignant remains at the plant to supervise security and operations. As Avtex gradually disolves, the once pungent smell of carbon disulfide no longer permeates the air, but the Shenandoah River is expected to be PCB-contaminated for years to come. Several generations may pass before anyone is able to eat the fish caught in the river. Avtex Fibers put Front Royal and Warren County on the map over the last few years as it gained natioiial attention for industrial air and water pollution. The company, which also incurred worker safety violations, first came under careful scrutiny in 1987 after the report of three employee deaths. That same year, PCBs were discovered in the Shenandoah River downstream from the plant. Further investigation lead to the discovery of leaky transformers on the rooftop of the plant as well as evidence of PCBs in the soil near the plant and the emissions from the plant. Crippled by environmental fines and bad publicity, the company threatened to close down in November 1988 when it became the recipient of a million dollar federal bail-out initiated by Sen. John W. Warner, R-Va. However, nearly two more years passed before the 50-year-old plant was forced to close its doors for the last time. Apple prices stable though crop down BLACKSBURG - Those consumers who keep the doctor away by eating an apple a day won’t find their daily medication costing more even though national production is down. Forecasters at the U.S. Department of Agriculture predicted a 1990 national crop of 231 million bushels, a decline of six million bushels from 1989. But despite the decline, there should not be any price rise for “eating apples.” Ross E. Byers, Cooperative Extension horticulturist at Virginia Tech’s Winchester Agricultural Experiment Station, said Virginia’s crop is expected to be 40 percent less than 1989 apple figures. “A string of freezes last spring after some unusually warm weather really hurt the Virginia growers,” Mr. Byers said.

Virginia Apple Growers Association, said Virginia’s growers have had a “bad five years.” Production in that period decreased 50 percent, she said. What makes that figure impressive is that 1987 was one of the best years, not in quality but in number of apples. Ms. Griffin said Virginia’s 1990 crop is estimated at 5 million bushels, 35 percent lower than the 7.7 million produced last year. Virginia growers, along with their counterparts in West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Maryland, all reported reduced crops, as did the growers in Tennessee, North Carolina and Alabama. But bad as the Virginia apple reports are, the peach growers fared worse. Mr. Byers said the crop was “almost wiped out. Every area of the state was hit hard by the freezes, after warm weather caused early budding.” Kevin Harding, ag statistician with the Virginia Agricultural Statistics Service, said this year’s peach crop was at 2.5 million pounds. “For a comparison,” he said, “remember that last year’s crop of 15 million pounds was considered only a half crop. It’s been six years since Virginia has had a peach crop that was over 30 million pounds.” CHOOSE & CUT CHRISTMAS TREE FARM Pine, Spruce & Fir Trees U.S. 211 Between Washington, Va. & Sperryville, Va.

The Audit Bureau Off track betting The horse, as an instrument of recreation, has been good for Rappahannock County. Horses have also benefitted more than a few county residents financially, and in that respect what’s good for horse racing and.horse breeding is good for the county. A state legislative study committee voted 4-2 Nov. 16 to recommend that the coming General Assembly pass revisions in the state pari-mutuel betting laws to allow off-site betting. The recommendation could possibly open the doors for a track in Loudoun County to allow race fans to bet on races run in other states, according to Don Price, executive secretary of the Virginia Racing Commission. Mr. Price said the changes, if passed in the General Assembly session that begins in January, would allow race tracks in Virginia to import as many as 25 days of races from other tracks for patrons to bet on. The changes would also allow Virginia tracks to open betting sites in other localities. Off-site betting places would have to be owned by a particular track located in Virginia in order to be legal. Satellite betting would allow a race track to set up branches in other localities where race fans could bet and watch races at the same time that the race is run on the track. The races would be telecast to the satellite betting sites. Satellite betting would only be allowed in localities that have passed pari-mutuel betting in referendum. The first to do so in Virginia, Loudoun County agreed to betting Nov. 6. Morven Park, located just north of Leesburg, may be the first track in the state to hold a race with pari-mutuel betting. Mr. Price said application information for pari-mutuel betting has been sent to the park. In the two years since the pari-mutuel issue passed, not one single license has been issued for a track. Now that tracks are legal in this state, it makes sense for legislators to make operating them financially appealing for investors. Horse racing means tourism and other benefits to a state. Charles Town, West Virginia’s track, for example, has drawn countless millions of dollars from the wallets of Virginia residents. And tourism is just the kind of clean industry that this Commonwealth needs to attract if we’re going to balance the ecological needs of tomorrow with the financial realities of today. We stand behind establishing offtrack betting in Virginia. Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan WELL-STOCKED FOR the winter, the front yard of Eddie Sutphin’s home outside Flint Hill is filled with hay rolls. Letters to the editor Old Towne Theatre, RAAC's moves unrelated To the editor: In the Nov. 22 issue of the Rappahannock News, there were two separate articles printed regarding the transitional state of the Gay Street Theatre here in Washington. The first article was written about RAAC’s decision to vacate the theatre and the second article was a press release I submitted to the newspaper outlining our company’s plans in the theatre. We here at Olde Towne Theatre would like to clarify a few points that may have confused some of the area residents. Due to the fact that the articles ran in the same issue, on the same page and in the same column, people may draw the conclusion that the articles are in some way related. It may appear that Olde Towne Theatre was responsible for RAAC’s decision to leave the Gay Street Theatre. As RAAC can certainly attest to, this is not the case. RAAC’s debate over the upcoming lease renewal was happening long before our company located to Washington. The timing of our move in relation to the major changes that have happened with RAAC are in no way related. RAAC and the theatre’s owner, Wendy Weinberg, failed to reach agreement with regard to the new lease and other conflicts that the two parties had. We booked our first show to open March of ’91 through RAAC back in September and have been working very closely with them ..THAT YOUR DEER?/ WHAT DEER Q OH, HIM / HEY, HE LOOKS FINE TO ME H - // J ROAP HUNTER CATCHES ROAD HUNtJ to bring this endeavor to fruition. It was only one week prior to the printing of these articles that we learned of RAAC’s plans to vacate the theatre. It was as much a surprise to us as it was to everyone else. Up until that time, we had assumed that our relationship with the theatre would be built through RAAC. We met with Ms. Weinberg after RAAC informed us of its plans and advised that we would be dealing directly with her. As of this letter, we have still not reached final agreement on the rental of the theatre. We plan to finalize within two weeks. It is our understanding that Ms. Weinberg will rent the theatre to as many different, independent producing groups as are interested, including RAAC and ourselves. We will not be the sole producing company at the Gay Street Theatre. We do intend to mount productions of a “professional stature” in the theatre in 1991. Our contribution here must be offered for the good of the community as a whole and we fully expect to participate as a team player. Our intentions are sincere, overly enthusiastic to some, but always honorable and we hope the community has an opportunity to see this for themselves. For anyone who is interested in what we’re doing, we offer an open invitation to attend an acting class that we conduct at the Town Hall on Tuesday evenings. It is here that you can witness the serious and committed work that we do ahd decide for yourselves. We’d like to extend our thanks to those who have extended their gracious support of our endeavors and invite anyone with further questions to call us at home at 675-1157. In the meantime, we’re confident that RAAC will continue to be a valuable and effective arts organization in this community and we plan to offer our support wherever and 4 whenever needed. SHEREE RAINBOLT-KREN Olde Towne Theatre Washington Editor’s note: The placement of the two articles on the page was not intended to convey any type of relationship between the two stories. Indeed, in the RAAC article, Mrs. Weinberg specifically stated that her future plans for the theatre are “in a state of flux.” The auditions by Olde Towne Theatre at the Gay St. Theatre and the departure of RAAC, according to all the parties involved, are merely an unfortunate coincidence of timing and the Rappahannock News regrets any misunderstanding the publication of the two articles last week may have caused. Whatever happened to quiet libraries? lothe editor: Ever tried to do some quiet work at the Rappahannock or Culpeper libraries? Ha, ha, ha, what a joke! Whatever happened to shh, shhh, and SHHHH? I was taught (and so were my children) to be quiet in a library and respectful to other people’s needs. After an hour and a half in the library the other morning I finally had to call it quits. Sweeping floors and dusting books I can live with. Even copy machines. But constant gabbing and laughing in a very unquiet voice (not to mention banging books and rearranging items on the table I was using) was too much! And this was the library staff! What didn’t I complain at the time? By the time I finished counting to 1001 was long gone. Heck, it’s quieter at my house with five other people and umpteen animals. I expect other people have had the same experience. Am I right? ANTHEA POOLE Boston Bloodmobile exceeds quota To the editor: On behalf of the Rappahannock County Extension Homemaker Clubs we would like to thank all the citizens who supported the Red Cross Bloodmobile on Nov. 26. We had 37 people come to give blood; 33 donors and 4 deferrals, which exceeded our goal of 30 donors. We had several new folks to participate in the Rappahannock bloodmobile this time. And we especially appreciate the donations from the “old faithfuls” - the donors who r come every six months to give blood. The next Bloodmobile will be in May, 1991 during National Extension Homemakers Week. The Rappahannock Extension Homemakers Clubs take pride in sponsoring the Bloodmobile as a community service project and appreciate your support to make it successful. MARIE DAVIS, President Rappahannock County Extension Homemakers Club HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent, Extension Homemakers Club Advisor 1 Seniors give thanks To the editor: The Rappahannock Senior Citizens would like to thank the pastor and congregation of the Woodville Baptist Church for the lovely Thanksgiving dinner. All the senior citizens en joyed the singing, prizes and good food and we appreciate their thoughtfulness. ROSA JOHNSON Coordinator Rappahannock Senioi; Nutrition Site Cutting red tape not always a benefit To the editor: . I agree with the Honorable Norman Sisisky’s slick, expensive campaign ads that he has cut government red tape, but not always for the best. Recently, by voting to take away duly-awarded shares to the military pension from certain long-term military wives, he cut out a lot of “red tape” for these old, poor, tired and often sick military ex-spouses. He voted to return their honestly earned and legally awarded share of the pensions they helped to earn to their former husbands. By denying (by fiat) these old military wives their pensions, he has cut out a lot of red tape for them. Now they won’t have to take their checks to the bank to get them cashed, nor will they have to make many trips to the grocery store to buy food. I also suspect that many will make fewer trips to the doctor when they are sick. I guess red tape depends on your point of view. If you are rich and secure as Mr. Sisisky is, why worry about constituents who don’t have much political clout and who are very, very poor? Why worry about ethical problems such as fairness, due process, justice and honor? These old women will soon solve the problem of pensions by dying anyway, and some would say the sooner the better.

^districting promises a real fight By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock Ncwi Special Writer The major political events in Virginia of 1991 will be legislative redistricting and elections for all 100 seats in the House of Delegates and 40 in the State Senate. ^ Redistricting, a process that will * begin with a two-week General Assembly special session in April, will £ast a long shadow over the state’s ‘ political landscape for the rest of this decade. ■« * It gives Democrats, who control both the legislative and executive v branches, a chance to protect incum*bent Democrats, to shaft incumbent ^Republicans and to draw congressional and legislative lines that will work in their favor. Democrats will obviously be in "the catbird’s seat even though changing population patterns and the increasing suburbanazation of Virginia ^should work to Republican advan"*3tage. Control of the reapportion* ment process though, means Democrats can minimize the impact of demographics upon their ranks „.and gerrymander to assure a House yyf Delegates majority for the foreseeable future. i That’s important since Republir*can numbers in the House of Dele. gates are higher than they’ve ever ^ been and continued gains of seats *■ -over a few more elections could give !" them a majority and a chance to ^dominate committees, put their im" print on the budget, appoint judges * and wield power even if the executive branch remained in DemoS^feratic hands. The Virginia GOP, red-faced because it fielded no opponents against *jany of five Democratic congressional ^Encumbents this year, is vowing to .attempt to run challengers against * all Democratic House incumbents next year. While that goal probably isn’t attainable, a large contingent of Republican challengers with a unified theme of blaming Democrats for the state’s deep fiscal problems might make further inroads despite redistricting. It will be easier to draw State Senate lines to keep that chamber safely in Democratic hands, particularly since Democrats now outnumber Republicans 3-1. The most convoluted and complicated redistricting process will come when the Assembly gets around to drawing new congressional bounda-ries. Virginia now has 10 seats in the _ House of Representatives and will pick up an additional one. The wild card is the desire among black legislators, backed by the . NAACP and ACLU, to draw a black majority district to practically guarantee the election of a black member of Congress. The only way to do that would be to cut in a serpentine fashion through black sections of Norfolk, Newport News and other Tidewater cities and throw in a few Southside counties with large black popi’1-* r Regular Sales ^ v Every Tuesday! ® HORSE SALE 3 2nd Sat., 10 a.m., Every Month STATE GRADE FAT CATTLE tifTues., 1 p.m. Every Month’ In adcpon to our regular sales oh the 2nd Tuesday of each month, we will have a State Graded Feeder Cattle Sale -Consignments Welcome.

As University of Virginia political analyst Larry Sabato said such a district “would make a salamander look like a square block.” Yet Prof. Sabato and others think the federal Voting Rights Act might require creation of a black majority district if one is possible. Dr. Sabato thinks the legislature will probably opt for such a district voluntarily. However, I part company with Prof. Sabato on that prediction. It just seems unlikely with Northern Virginia Democrats clamoring that the Eleventh district is rightfully theirs because of huge m u m i § * <• •: »-; M'A < old Dominion Politics population growth, with Virginia Republicans joining the NAACP and ACLU in support of a black majority district and with no sentiment among the state’s five incumbent Democratic congressmen and one Congressman - election for a black majority district, that the conservative establishment of the legislature will provide such a district without a fight. My guess is that when the Assembly gets around to congressional redistricting later in 1991, it will move to protect incumbent Democrats. The new member from the Eighth District, Jim Moran, is undoubtedly already hard at working thinking of ways to keep himself in office. Rep. Moran may suggest that Arlington be taken from Republican Frank Wolf in the Tenth District and transfered to the Eighth. Democrats Owen Pickett in the Second District and Norman Sisisky in the Fourth don’t want a black ma jority district because it would take away larger numbers of their voters and make them more vulnerable to Republicans challenges. But a black majority district would strengthen Republican Rep1> Herb Bateman in the First District who barely survived this year. On the first go around, Democrats will seek to make the First even more friendly to a Democratic challenger in 1992. Because Seventh District Rep. D. French Slaughter Jr. handily beat his well-financed Democratic opponent this year, Democrats may choose to make the Seventh, the state’s most Republican district, a Republican dumping ground Fifth District Democratic Rep. L.F. Payne has his eyes on both Charlottesville and Albemarle and the part of Prince William in the Seventh might go to a new Northern Virginia district. Charlottesville was the only locality Rep. Slaughter lost, but his majorities in Albemarle and Prince William were below other parts of the district. Then such staunchly Republican localities as Harrisonburg, Rockingham and Augusta, presently in Democratic Rep. Jim Olin’s Sixth District, might be transferred to the Seventh. The forecast from this comer is that the General Assembly won’t come up with a black majority district and that the matter will end up for decisions by the Department of Justice and federal courts.

Fire Continued from page A-1 the rubble, Asst. Chief Burke said. Oak Hill dated to at least the 1820s, according to Elisabeth Johnson, who co-authored Rappahannock County, Va. History with her late husband, C.E. Johnson Jr. Mr. Johnson was related to the Wood family, which owned Oak Hill for nearly a century. Mrs. Johnson said the earliest family record referring to Oak Hill is in 1833, when John Hayward Wood moved from Flint Hill to the farm with his wife Lucy Miller Wood. The plantation, according to the family records, was given to Mrs. Wood by her father, John Miller. At least a part of the house was standing at that time, although it was likely only the two-story log structure which made up the back left side of the present-day home. The property got its name from the huge oak trees on the crest of the hill, the largest of which was 23 feet in circumference and estimated to be about 400 years old. Mrs. Johnson said her husband recalled it had been featured in National Geographic magazine some years ago as an oak tree with possibly the greatest spread of branches known any where. That tree was completely gutted by the fire, and toppled onto the driveway in front of the house. Mr. Wood died of typhoid fever in 1845, but his wife lived at Oak Hill until she died in 1877. Six of their 10 children were bom there, beginning with John William Miller, on Dec. 14,1833. During the Civil War, the house served as the headquarters of Union Gen. Franz Sigel in 1862. About 8,000 Union troops camped in the fields across from Oak Hill, according to Asst. Chief Burke, who is also a Civil War buff. It was during the time that Gen. George Polk was reorganizing the Army of the Poto Rappahannock MM (Business & Service Directory I :r-< m % ' s - i sH 703/675-3338 Only $3*75 per week for a 1 inch space!

During the six weeks he spent at Oak Hill, Gen. Sigel did not endear himself to Mrs. Lucy Miller Wood, whose five sons were serving in the Confederate Army. Among his transgressions was spilling green ink on the floor of the dining room, which he used as his personal office, according Mr. and Mrs. Johnson’s book. Their book recounts a tale attributed to one of Mrs. Wood’s daughters, who also stayed at the house through the occupation. One day a Union officers spoke to her, adding that it appeared as though a storm was approaching. Miss Mandy looked out toward the hill where the Union soldiers were encamped and replied, “Yes, it looks like it might storm. Lightning strikes quite often in those locust trees where your men are camped. I hope it strikes there today and kills the last one of them!” “Sure enough, it did strike, and killed a man and a couple of horses,” the Johnsons’ book reports. The estate passed through several generations of the Wood family, until Mrs. Wood’s grandson, J. Walton Wood, inherited it. He lived there with his wife, Susie, and remodeled and added onto the home in 1916. According to the Johnsons’ book, during the remodeling a neighbor urged Miss Susie not to remove the ink spot left by Gen. Sigel. She replied, according to the story, “in nc uncertain terms, that she had no desire to have a Yankee general’s ink on her floor and she had a new floor laid over it.” From the Wood family, Oak Hill passed to the Johnson family with the marriage of Susie Wood to Dr. C.E. Johnson. His son, C.E. Johnson Jr., Elisabeth Johnson’s late husband, inherited the property from his father. Though they owned the house and a large piece of property around it, Mrs. Johnson said, they never lived there. They had their own home nearby, and the big house “was just too much. ” After owning it for several years, they sold it to Winfred Davis, wh(f owned it until the Smiths bought itj about 10 years ago when they movef£ to Rappahannock County from New York. ."£ In the years since, Mr. and MrsJ Smith had labored to restore the, house to its former grandeur, an# had even added to it, including ex*-' tending the large front porch around the side of the house. They had nearly completed the; project, with only the kitchen left toj renovate, when the fire struck lasE* weekend. Now, all that remains of the his* toric home is its two brick chimneysg a few charred floor joists and thamasonry foundation. The Smiths, who escaped the firs£ with only the clothes they wewr wearing, are staying with a friend in Sperryville. C Mrs. Johnson, one of the Smiths’ closest neighbors, said Tuesday do miss it so. I’ve been looking at itr for over 50 years. It’s made quite * hole in my life.” Many other SperrjiSr ville residents have voiced similif comments this week. ar Planners Continued from page A-1 rooms and they wanted to use three for the bed and breakfast with the possibility of adding a fifth later in an addition to be built. The planners only recommended approval for three rooms and asked Mr. Weaver to come back with plans for the addition before they would approve another rental unit. The planners were then ready to adjourn when Mr. McCarthy said he needed to bring the Bleu Rock’s sign application to them. He said the sign would be a curved wall 20 feet long and five feet high. It would be built of concrete blocks covered with stucco, with letters spelling out Bleu Rock Inn approximately three feet tall. In the center the sign would be about three feet taller with a representation of the blue rock. The sign would be flood lit from below. “That’s too big for me,” Mr. Gottleib said. “I don’t like the precedent of approving a sign that large. It’s almost a billboard. ” He said he had eaten there the previous weekend and had a good meal. “If they’d had a sign like that, I wouldn’t have gone.” Mr. McCarthy said the business required a special exception from the Board of Supervisors to operate under the provision for lodges and retreats and the special exception called for the sign to also be approved. He said the footer for the sign has already been dug. The sign would be located about 200 feet from the existing road, but once the road is four-laned it will be about 100 feet from the westbound lanes. “There are signs like this, but not for businesses,” Mr. McCarthy said, pointing out that the sign is similar to some that have been built at farm entrances. He said that the highway department doesn’t want more signs in its right-of-way. “I feel the kind of sign they have now is just right,” Mr. Gottleib saidjj “I like the sign.” «; Ms Pierce agreed with Mr. Got-,; tleib. “I think it’s hideous,” she saw; of the proposed sign. “I can see why they want the sign, but we have to look to the fu£ ture,” Mr. Gottleib said. “ “The supervisors might approver this,” Mr. Massie pointed out. £ Mr. McCarthy said he would tell the owners of the Bleu Rock thg planners would prefer something similar to the sign now in use. « Chairman Allen Stokes sugg gested that commission member* talk with the owners about the signal' Needy, Continued from page A-1 cash donations as well, which will go toward the purchase of turkeys and other traditional dinner items for the baskets. And, any additional cash will be distributed to foster families to enable them to buy Christmas presents for their foster children. ‘"Hie families don’t receive any aid besides their foster assistance check,” Mrs. Davis said, “and if money is tight they may not have anything left over for presents. This way, at least they can get the children something for Christmas.” “We certainly appreciate thg community’s giving and sharing,-an<| I’m sure that those who receive th* gifts appreciate them also,” Mra? Davis said. ' The department plaps to distribute the baskets on Dec. 21, and would appreciate all donations —: particularly cash contributions — as soon as possible so they can determine how many baskets will be distributed.

'Paths to the Edge' premieres at Town Hall Multi-disciplinary show displays Ki Theatre’s talents Ki Theatre will present “Paths to the Edge,” a program of new stories and new music by two teams of artists from Ki Theatre and Trapezoid. The program will be presented on Saturday, Dec. 1, at 8 p.m., in Washington, Virginia’s historic Town Hall on Gay Street. It features Julie Portman, director of Ki Theatre, Paul Reisler, director of the music group Trapezoid, and Bob Read, composer, arranger, and member of Trapezoid. Julie and Paul will open the program with two true life stories that unfold in a rich environment of music composed by Reisler. The stories, “Little Bit, Know Something” and “Katie Malone” are based on the childhood experiences of a Native American medicine man from British Columbia, and a daughter’s reflections discovering her mother’s wedding dress. Julie and Paul are Rappahannock County residents. Throughout the year, they tour nationally and internationally as a duo. They rehearse, create, and premiere their performance work at Washington’s Town Hall. Their work has been described as “a fascinating fusion of storytelling, live music and theatre.” Most recently, they were featured at the 18th National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, Tennessee, attended by more than 15,000 people from across the United States. Mr. Reisler and Bob Read are currently working on a duo album of original instrumental music for Narada/MCA Records. At Saturday’s premiere performance, as part of “Paths to the Edge,” they will perform some of the music created for the new release. Both Reisler and Read are key figures in the music group Trapezoid. Bob Read’s instruments include flute, clarinet and saxophone as well as percussion and keyboard. Mr. Read works with Trapezoid and also with Ki Theatre as a composer. Besides running his own recording studio, he composes for a broad range of choreographers and creates scores of film. Paul Reisler has been active in every phase of music including songwriting, composing, producing records, directing festivals, teaching and instrument making. For the past 15 years he has toured throughout North America and Japan performing in over 1600 concerts, workshops and festivals. Advance tickets for “Paths to the Edge” are $7.50. Tickets at the door are $8.50. Advance tickets can be purchased at: Mountainside Market and The Country Cafe in Washington; New Leaf Bookstore and Organic Harvest in Warrenton; Royal Oak Bookstore in Front Royal and Culpeper Music in Culpeper.

Puppets perform 'Nutcracker' adaptation The whimsical charms of “The Story of the Nutcracker” will appear Dec. 1 and 2 at the Gay Street Theatre in Washington. Produced and performed by the nationally acclaimed Bob Brown Puppet Productions, this adaptation of “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King” has been delighting audiences across the country since it premiered in 1976. When Clara and Fritz break Clara’s beloved Nutcracker while squabbling over Christmas gifts, their wise and gentle Grandfather sends them off to bed. But Clara falls asleep and dreams of the Nutcracker’s victorious battle with the Mouse King. The enchantment is broken and the Nutcracker is transformed into a hand some Prince. He carries Clara away to his “Kingdom of the Sweets” and there she sees her toys come to life to stage an extravaganza in her honor. In the final act, Clara learns that the magic of Christmas can happen every day for those who celebrate it in their hearts. The Story of the Nutcracker will be presented on Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. All tickets are $5 and will be sold at the door. This production is being held in conjunction with the Colonial Christmas Celebration that is an annual Christmas event held in Washington. The Bob Brown Puppets are being presented by RAAC with the support of a touring grant from the Virginia Commission for the Arts. In characterf by George! Rappahannock News file photo/Cindy Mahan THIS WEEKEND, THE streets of First Washington will come alive with the sights and sounds of the town’s Colonial Christmas celebration. Among the attractions are first-person “character tours” of the historic town by residents dressed as George Washington’s contemporaries. There will also be Colonial dancing, period food featured at area restaurants, and other activities throughout the town. For a detailed schedule of events, call Country Heritage, (703) 675-3738. Dance includes Nash's new work Last Minute Wood Co. performs Dec. 8 The Last Minute Wood Company, a dance ensemble based in Rappahannock County, will perform original choreography by Sally Nash on Saturday, Dec. 8, at the Rappahannock Elementary School at 8 p.m. The program will feature three dances from the company’s repertorie and the premiere performance of Ms. Nash’s new work, “Sanskrit.” Sally Nash — teacher, performer and choreographer — has been living in Rappahannock County for 16 years. In 1977, she founded the Last Minute Wood Company, named in “honor of the difficulties of staying warm in a cold country winter.” She has choreographed and produced nine full-evening works for the company which has performed in Washington, D.C., Baltimore and rural Virginia. J In 1988, her dance, “A Woman’s Work,” was performed at the Kennedy Center. Ms. Nash’s choreography honors the individual dancer’s movements and arises out of everyday happenings in her own life. Her piece, “Box 48” brings to life the many pieces of mail that arrived in her rural mail box over a year’s time. Her choreography has been called “keenly expressionistic,” “whimsical,” and “inspired” by critics. Recently Ms. Nash built the Workspace for Choreographers, a mountain retreat and studio outside Sperryville that is available to the dance community at large. Tickets to the Last Minute Wood Company performance are $8.50 in advance and $10 at the door. Children under 12 are $5. Advance tickets are available at all RAAC’s regular ticket outlets, including Mountainside Market in Washington, Burke’s Grocery in Woodville, Culpeper Music and New Leaf Bookstore in Warrenton, as well as several locations.

Just when we think we have it all together, to our dismay we find that one piece is missing. We rush from place to place, many of us with anxiety, fear, and impatience as our companions. We worry and we wonder how we will fit all of our responsibilities into hectic schedules. Have you ever considered that God may be that missing piece in the puzzle that is your life? He is there, waiting to help you, always vigilant. We are told in the Bible that “not one of them (sparrows) will fall to the ground without your Father's will." (Matthew 10:29) We also read in Matthew 10:30. “But even the hairs of your head are numbered You are.of more value than many sparrows." ^ Let God help keep your life peaceful and in an orderly fashion. Worship this week and give Him a chance. All you have to do is ask and believe.

Day REALTOR MORE TAX BREAKS FOR SELLERS Starting with sales of residences after Sept. 30th, 1988, home sellers over 55 may be entitled to escape tax on up to *125,000 of gain on the sale of their home even though they haven t lived there the required 3 out of the 5 years before the sale. During the 5 years preceding the sale, the taxpayer must have become so incapable of caring . for himself that a stay in a nursing home (or other facility) is required. In this case, only one of those previous 5 years of ownership is required. The 'Rollover" rule deferring tax on the gain from the sale of a principal residence (as long as you roll over the sale into a new residence within 2 years before or after the sale), has also been liberalized. Before the new law, the surviving spouse could MOT get the break if he or she was widowed AFTER the sale but BEFORE the purchase of the new home. This requirement has been eliminated retroactive to 1/1/85. Thus, some sellers may be entitled to a refund of capital gains tax.
