Cars with plates from West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and North Carolina vie with cars from Virginia for space. Inside the crowd is very orderly. The voice is nearly constant. “Lot number 11. Can we start this off at $50? $25? $15? $10? $5? Pve got $5. Will you bid $10? $15? $20? $20? $20? I’ve got $20. Will you bid $25? I’ve got $25. Now $30, and $35. Can we get $40, 40? I ve got $37. Can we get $40? $40? Sold for $37.” Bill Payne is having an auction of carnival glass from a Maryland collector who is selling her entire collection. The preparation for the sale has been impressive. The sale was advertised in “Antique Week.” Flyers promoting the sale were sent to members of the American Carnival Glass Association and the International Carnival Glass Association. Those who re- :sponded to either of these appeals could receive a detailed listing of - , -■ ' •• ( ^ each item for sale. The collection was picked up and moved to Mr. Payne’s new auction bam near Amissville. Mr. Payne and his wife Mauri went through the boxes, carefully identifying and cataloguing each item. Lot number 11 was a green bowl made by Northwood in the bullseye and leaves pattern. He has illustrated books on carnival glass, some giving recent sales prices for representative pieces.

(RLEP) is holding its annual meeting from 7 p.m. - until 9:30 p.m. Sept. 24 at the Washington fire hall. The purpose of the meeting is to get community feedback to identify which issues are vital to the residents of Rappahannock County. Some of the projects RLEP has been involved with have included scenic easements, environmental education, park-related trail management and zoning issues. Paul Reisler of Trapezoid, will present a very special night of music. He will feature songs and instrumentals from his upcoming recording which will be reflections from 25 years of living in rural environs. One song entitled “Rappahannock” was written for a 13 part PBS series entitled “Rural America: Legacy and Change.” r v Government at a glance • The Washington Town Council meets at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 9 in the Town Hall.

At press time there appeared that there would be no evening meeting. light request By FRANCES BISHOPP Rappahannock News Staff Writer Patrick O’Connell, a member of the Architectural Review Board, moved to the other side of the table at the ARB meeting last Thursday to submit a request that the Inn at Little Washington, of which he is a co-owner with •partner Reinhardt Lynch, be allowed to choose from two types of streetlights to be erected on the Inn’s property at the Inn’s expense. Mr. O’Connell said that the Inn had chosen the Acorn Globe fixture, “Victorian III,” which has recently been put up near the Trinity Episcopal Church and is approved by the Town Council as a contender for the final streetlight chosen for the town, and the New Oxford fixture, which has not been erected in the town and has not been approved by the Town Council. Mr. O’Connell said the fixtures would be paid for and maintained by the Inn. Board member Ed Barton inquired if the Inn would erect fixtures in the parking lot across the street from the Inn as well, since it was used primarily by patrons of the Inn. Mr. O’Connell replied that that would be decided after certain issues were determined as to who would be responsible for the electric bill once the fixtures were erected. Mr. O’Connell said that the Inn was not interested in a another fixture approved by the Town Council, the Trimble House, and it was not among its final choices. Board member Ed Barton suggested that the board defer action on Mr. O’Connell’s reSee ARB, Page A-5 Board of Zoning Appeals nixes Schiermeyer variance request By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Patricia and Barry Schiermeyer were turned down again in their request for a variance from setback requirements by the Board of Zoning Appeals last Wednesday. Last month they applied for a variance of 30 feet from the rear setback requirement of 50 feet and a variance of 35 feet from the front setback requirement of 75 feet for a 1.02 acre parcel they have contracted to purchase from Nina Stamer in the Flint Hill area. The contract depended on getting the variance. They were turned down. This month they reapplied, requesting a variance of four feet from the rear and three feet plus a sevenfoot deck from the front setback. They had planned to reorient their house. It would no longer be passive solar. t Eric Stamer not&f that when his wife purchased the lot it was de scribed as two acres. It was purchased to add to a larger lot including their house. When their house was sold, the buyer didn’t want the additional lot. They had it surveyed to sell it separately and found it was only 1.02 acres. It is a narrow lot with right-of-ways on two sides. With the setback requirements the house could be no wider then 22 feet four inches. The house the Schiermeyers proposed to build is 37 feet wide including the deck. The zoning ordinance notes that to grant a variance, the board should find that granting the variance would “alleviate a clearly demonstrable hardship approaching confiscation.” " Stonewall-Hawthom District representative Sid Gottlieb said that he might consider a “tiny variance,” but this lot would support a “reasonable sized house. It is possible for another purchaser to build a house on it,” he said. Mr. Gottlieb said he could sympathize with the Schiermeyers because he has also looked for a small lot for building. “I am amazed at how difficult it is to find a small piece,” he said. Myrtle Corbin, who owns an adjacent lot supported the application saying, “I’d like to see a house there.” Robin Day, who lives in Sperryville and is married to Mr. Schiermeyer’s sister, said he also supported the application. “Everyone wants a piece of property in Rappahannock that is 25 to 50 acres to build a large house. He’s found a piece that fits his budget, and he wants to build a house he can live in. If he found a piece to fit the house, he wouldn’t afford it. You should build a house that fits the personality of the people, not the lot.” See BZA, Page A-5 Conservationists blame Bush, power plants for polluted park By FRANCES BISHOPP and JOHN BRETSCHNEIDER Rappahannock News Staff Writers If it’s the view you are looking for when you take the long, winding road to the higher overlooks on Skyline Drive, you may have to look elsewhere. You can find a lot of things up on Skyline Drive these days, however most often and most days, the view is no longer one of them. Instead what you find is a thick, dirty haze that smothers the mountains and valleys like a blanket. The visibility is so poor, the only thing £an really distinguish clearly are the bushes on the steep incline in front of you. In 1938, when the Skyline Drive opened, visitors could see mountain ridges 80 miles away. On a clear day, someone atop Mary’s Rock, near Thornton Gap, could look 70 miles east and see the tip of the Washington Monument. Since that time summertime visibility has dropped 80 percent and year-round visibility has dropped 60 percent. One out of three days, visibility is less than 10 miles, the others around 30 miles. The Shenandoah National Park, say the experts, is very sick and unless the present administration and future ones to come, do something to contain and reduce the pollution that is enveloping the park, the situation will get only worse, damaging the ecosytems irreparably. Last week, a press conference was held atop Crescent Rock Overlook on Skyline Drive. The event was co-sponsored by the National Parks and Conservation Association, the Southern Environmental Law Center, the Conservation Council of Virginia and the Sierra Club. The primary purpose of the conference was to allow the media to see nowadays exactly what a view from the location really looks like and secondly, to explain what has happened to the park and why. According to David Carr Jr., a Public Lands Project director for the Southern Environmental Law Center, “Congress has given both EPA and the National Park Service legal Reductions in energy use Percent decrease forecasted by year 2000 r tools to accomplish protection of the national parks, but at present, we are failing miserably to protect the parks unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations. This is particularly so in the Shenandoah National Park. “The Shenandoah National Park has the highest sulfur pollution of any park in the country, leading to drastic visibility impairment, acidification of streams and damage to vegetation,” he said. The biggest danger threatening the park, said Carr, comes from sulphates, which are derived from the sulphur dioxide emitted by smokestacks. Sulphates account for 70 percent of the total decrease in visibility. Sulphates are carried to earth via precipitation, causing the acidification of sensitive trout streams in the park. Thus “acid rain," or rather its components, have everything to do with the loss of summertime vistas. Acid rain poses a series threat to park resources. Certain species such as mayflies — trout food sources — are declining. The loss of certain “in. dicator” species portends potentially dramatic changes in the park ecosystems. Another villain is sulfur’s sidekick, oxides of nitrogen, known as NOx. NOx, actually a variety of different chemical compounds, are emitted from automobiles, power plants and industrial boilers and plays a major role in the formation of ground level ozone, the primary component of urban smog. Carr and other representatives of the conservation groups were particularly critical of the Bush Administration policies and Virginia utilities for their role in polluting the air in the park and other areas in the state. “Dan Quayle and his infamous Council on Competitiveness’ wants you to believe that we have to choose between clean air and jobs,” said Lee Bowen, chair of the Sierra Club’s Virginia chapter. “With aggressive programs designed to help Virginia business and households use energy more efficiently, we can have jobs and a cleaner environment.” “Since 1986, the state has issued permits for 23 new electricity-generating facilities in Virginia, said Nancy Summers, past president of the Conservation Council of Virginia. ‘This is a lot of new power plants for une state. The 11 facilities permitted since 1989 will increase stationary source emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) by more than 20 percent.” She went on to say that Virginia utilities, led by Virginia Power, have See Park, Page A-3 - ; ————— , ' — New teachers ride into town •— ' '• . ■ > ; ; i,' ■ ■: :■, ■ | V Rappahannock will have ai number of new teachers this year.

Arson suspected in fire that destroyed 2 cars Sheriff John Henry Woodward said Tuesday that a fire that destroyed two cars Aug. 23 appears to have been set intentionally. Woodward said that when a sheriffs deputy and the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Department arrived at the Peter Neilsen residence on Route 630 about 10:50 p.m., they found two vehicles, a 1989 Lincoln and a 1989 Jeep Cherokee, fully involved in flames. Both were destroyed. Woodward said that due to what he called “suspicious circumstances,” he requested the assistance of an arson investigator from the Virginia State Police. Although his investigation is still underway, the sheriff said, from evidence developed so far ‘it looks like both vehicles were torched.” Woodward declined to elaborate, citing the continuing investigation. The Lincoln was valued at $8,500, he said, and the Jeep at $4,500. The death toll on county roads continues to mount, with an accident Aug. 21 that claimed the life of an elderly Culpeper woman. Ruby Farrish, 79, was the sixth highway fatality in Rappahannock County this year. She was a passenger in a car driven by James Wilkerson, 21, of Culpeper, according to Virginia State Trooper S.M. Knick. Wilkerson was eastbound in the left lane approaching the intersection of Route 730. Knick reported that a 1988 GMC pickup truck, driven by Randolph Settle, 54, of Amissville, had pulled into the median crossover at Route 730. Settle’s truck apparently nosed out into the eastbound lane, striking Wilkerson’s 1988 Ford pickup in the side. Wilkerson lost control of the truck, according to Knick’s report, and it ran off the left side of the road into the median strip, where it struck a sign and overturned. Mrs. Farrish was airlifted to Fairfax Hospital, where she died of her injuries. Wilkerson and another passenger in the truck were also in jured. Knick charged Settle with failure to yield the right of way. Two more automobile burglaries were reported last month, the latest in a series of similar incidents that have plagued the county during the past several months. Sheriff Woodward said Paul Grigsby, of Flint Hill, reported Aug. 18 that an amplifier and two speakers, valued at $400, were taken from his 1980 Toyota while it was sitting outside his house on Route 641 the previous night. On Aug. 29, Brian Wayland, of Washington, reported that three speakers and an amplifier were stolen from his 1983 Mustang. The equipment was valued at $700. Woodward said there are suspects in the thefts, and asked that anyone with information contact the Sheriffs Office, 675-3331. An automobile stolen from Manassas was recovered in Amissville Aug. 24. Woodward said the 1990 Diahatsu was discovered on Route 645. The car, which had been reported stolen several hours before, was “demolished,” Woodward said. Its windows and lights were smashed and the radio had been ripped from the dash. No arrests have been made in the theft, he added. Andy Sheffield, 19, of Viewtown, was charged with unauthorized use of a motor vehicle Aug. 28 after he allegedly took his father’s 1990 Ford pickup truck, Woodward reported. Sheffield was arrested at the Q-Stop on U.S. 211 at Clevinger’s Comer, and the truck was recovered undamaged, the sheriff said. David Stubbs, 18, of Washington, was charged with reckless driving after an accident Aug. 28. Trooper Knick reported that Stubbs was westbound on Route 622, just east of Route 614, when he apparently lost control of his 1974 Ford pickup. The truck ran off the right side of the road, hit a bank and overturned. Stubbs was injured, Knick said, and the truck was destroyed. — By LOU HATTER Pound pups Pet of the week The featured dog at the Shelter in Amissville this week is a hound cross, black/tan, one-yearold female, was very shy but has improved a great deal, would be a loving pet.

Ms. Patton said in order to qualify for state library aid, the local library board must spend a minimum of $4.04 per person in the county and at least two-thirds of that amount or $2.70 must come from local taxes and endowment funds. The amount of $4.04, Mrs. Patton said, is 50 percent of the median expenditure in the state of $8.08. The local budget for the Rappahannock Library is $51,918, including $37,218 in local taxes, which works out to $7.80 per person in local funds including $5.62 from taxes. The library also has investments which generate about $8,500 in income, but these are not now set up as an endowment fund. This year the state grant for the library is $12,468, but Ms. Patton said that may be cut in half for the coming year unless the General Assembly can be persuaded to restore funding. The local government cannot cut funding for the library below current levels without risking its state funding, she said. Ms. Patton said funds raised by the Friends of the Rappahannock Library could support the library, but cannot be used as part of the local formula for funding. Board member Mary Jamieson said, “We always felt it was important to keep monies under our control rather than put them in government. All governments take from those who have to take care of those who don’t.” Ms. Patton also told Library Board members that the local board should have bylaws on file with the state library. It should also have policies on various issues and have a five-year plan which is updated annually. She said the most recent five-year plan from the Rappahannock Library is dated 1985. Chairman William Young said he wanted to form committees of the board to work on revising the bylaws and policies and also committees to work on finance and personnel. Roberta Anderson questioned whether the grading for handicapped parking is finished. “There is too much slope,” she said. Dr. Young said he would ask Richard Abell to visit the library and make suggestions on how the handicapped parking could be improved. Statistics prepared by librarian Nikki Lynch show that there was a 41 percent increase in patrons using the library during the past fiscal year over the 1990-91 year. There was a 66 percent increase in book circulation and a 213 percent increase in meeting room use. These statistics are all comparing use in the new library to use in the old library on Gay Street. Statistics from the year just started show that use continues to climb. There was an overall increase of 22 percent in books circulated when July 1992 is compared to July 1991, the first month in the new library, and patrons using the library increased from 1704 to 2,414.

W* art most proud of ovr new facility; the largest of its type m the World, and an environmental model for Ou next century. Route 634, Off Route 29 Madison, Virginia Telephone 703-948-6801 AW Madison Wood ►Park From Page A-l emphasized the construction of new power plants over strategies for reducing demand. According to a Virginia Pwer report entitled “Long-Range Forecast of Load and Resources: 1992-2011.” “In Virginia, utility demand side management (DSM) has focused on controlling peak demand but not on reducing energy consumption.” By the year 2000, Virginia Power forecasts summer peak demand reductions of almost 4.5 percent. However, the utility expects to achieve only minimal energy savings this decade and, in fact, beyond the year 2000, the impact of utility DSM will be to increase annual energy consumption.” Carr went on to say that despite the obvious dangers threatening our national parks today, the Environmental Protection Agency anounced earlier this month that it would not revise the ozone standard. “In 1990, the National Park Service finally heeded Congress’s direction and took steps to protect Shenandoah National Park,” said Carr. “These steps were long overdue. “Unfortunately,” he added, “the Park Service effort has been frustrated by both political interference from the upper levels of the Department of the Interior and the White House and the unwillingness of EPA to provide any real support to the effort to protect Shenandoah National Park.” David Simon, of the National Parks and Conservation Association, said, “Given the political pressure brought to bear on these issues, it’s hard to be optimistic about the park’s future. EPA’s decision not to revise the ozone standard is only one recent instance where big business has played politics with the law and public health.” According to Julie Thomas, the environmental protection specialist with the National Park Service, park employees have been told by Bush administration officials to stop submitting adverse impact appeals against new pollution sources. The next major potential pollution source which will be looked at is the proposed Potomac Power Partners generator in Leesburg. r A hearing is scheduled for Sept. 15 at the Rust library in Leesburg, although Ms. Thomas believes that park officials may be forced to remain silent on pollution sources. “We are preparing comments because we’re concerned about the park, but we’re not sure if we will be allowed to submit them,” Ms. Thomas said. The oil- and gas-fired facility is expected to produce 1,285 tons of NOx annually, 269 tons of sulfur dioxide and around 98 tons of “volatile organic compounds,” essentially unspent fuel. In addition to political pressure which prevents comment on a pollution source, Ms. Thomas points to instances where companies use the pollution guidelines themselves to thwart pollution improvements. The Gordonsville Energy Limited Partnership plant, just 21 miles from ' the park, is expected to produce 249.9 tons of combined pollutants per year. If the plant were slated to produce 250 tons, a mere 200 pounds more, then the plant would come under a more stringent set of pollution standards and review procedures. Ms. Thomas also notes that the Gordonsville plant could be run for a longer or shorter number of hours each year and that the pollution from the plant will be created at the worst possible times. “They’re a peak-load facility,” she said. “When it’s hot and muggy, that’s when this plant kicks in.” Ms. Thomas equates the debate' over switching to improved combustion and pollution scrubber technology with the office revolution of switching from typewriters to computers and word processers. “Being economically sound is not mutually exclusive of being ecologically sound,” Ms. Thomas said. “It will demand a slight shift in technology but it will still provide jobs.” Carr pointed out that park officials and the Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Fish and Wildlife and Parks recently sought to appeal the state’s issuance of a permit for another coal-fired generating facility located 34 miles from park boundaries. Administration high-ups told them not to proceed with the appeal, said Carr. A similar fate met Forest Service attempts to appeal the same permit, he added. If something isn’t done and soon, Carr predicted, one of our state’s greatest natural resources will be irreparably damaged and lost to future generations.

Reporters peered into the summer haze from an overlook on Skyline Drive, straining to see nearby towns in the valley below. As they looked, they were told that the visible air pollution is only a precursor to much more serious problems with the park’s ecosystems. President Herbert Hoover, who had a camp high in the Blue itidge Mountains above the headwaters of the Rapidan River, would be appalled at the decline of the natural habitat in his beloved park. The families who were evicted from its craggy slopes would be saddened by the smoggy skies that have replaced their once magnificent mountain vistas. Several years ago, Shenandoah National Park celebrated , its fiftieth anniversary. Unless some steps are taken to preserve it, conservationists warn, the park will certainly not celebrate its centennial — at least not as the breathtaking mountain wilderness that so many now epjoy. Much of the problem comes from additional sources of pollution, ranging from automobile exhausts to the smokestacks of industries and power plants. Some are nearby, like the multiple new co-generation plants now planned for Southside Virginia. Others spew their toxic fog into the skies above the Midwest, where it slowly drifts eastward on the prevailing wind. Some ot the blame can certainly be laid on the federal government, which is charged with regulating the quality of our air. Despite President Bush’s trumpeting of his support for the Clean Air Act, officials from federal agencies, including the National Park Service and the Forest Service, charge that their agencies have been ordered to stop submitting unfavorable reviews of pending projects — including those co-generation facilities in Virginia which, according to impact studies, will further degrade the quality of the Commonwealth’s air. If those officials are correct, the Clean Air president, through his minions, has muzzled the federal agencies responsible for enforcing those regulations and limiting the addition of new pollution sources. If true, the Bush Administration’s actions are unconscionable hypocrisy. But we share the blame. Our society has a seemingly limitless appetite for energy to power our cars, hair dryers, CD players and Nintendos. That energy requires production facilities, whether they are coal or oil-fired or nuclear powered. As long as our society equates light with enlightenment, the consequences will include a steadily thickening blanket of stifling smog that may signal the extinction of some of our nation’s most precious natural resources — including Shenandoah National Park. r i According to the Courthouse Cat ‘It sure seems like humans can muck things up. They mess up their cities with pollution from those rotten cars (a cat’s*worst enemy) and then they come out here to the country and ruin the park with that dirty stuff from the power plants. I’ve heard tell that these days a cat would have a hard time seeing his paw in front of his face up on Mary’s Rock. Yep, humans can sure muck things up.’ — Calvin (Editor’s note: Calvin's opinions do not reflect any individual opinions outside of this newspaper.)

Book inspires creativity To the Editor: I just wanted to share with the readers, a book I read this summer from our local library and one I hardly recommend to parents and especially to teachers. As a grandparent, I thought it was a very nuturing book for the raising of our children. It’s “Growing Up Creative,” author Teresa Amabile tells how we can encourage youngsters to their free creative potentials. Keeping creativity alive at home and at school just by what we do and say to them, and not discourage them. This is something so vital in our present society of TV and boredom. It talks of teaching accomplishments, thus giving self esteem and self worth. In my opinion I consider this “help” book a real must in our reading. HELEN BRIDGES Washington Who are you Frank Wolf? To the Editor I was an innocent at the Lunch Bunch gathering on a recent Wednesday. I did not know that a speaker was going to be there. I knew something was amiss when I arrived because there were about 30 attendees. There are seldom more than 10 or 12. Another odd thing was that a total stranger in shirt-sleeves and tie greeted me at the door and said he was glad to see me again and he grabbed my hand. I did not know for sure, maybe I had met him somewhere before. I forget a lot of things unless they involve money or women. I finally found a seat that was not taken and was told that the Honorable Congressman Wolf was to speak to us. My impression of him at that time was favorable. He had a pleasant demeanor, an impressive presence and a spontaneous smile. The sort of person one likes on sight. I did not even know what party he belonged to but I was ready to vote for him. He spoke of his background, childhood, education and why he decided to make his home in Virginia. He said that he loved Virginia and its people. I related to that and decided that he was prohably a moderate or even a liberal, perhaps even a Democrat. Then he got confusing. He said that he had never bounced checks when it had never occurred to me that he had. He then mentioned several things he could not be charged with. I could not understand why he was saying these things, after all normal people do not do these things so it would not be noteworthy to gven mention them. It got worse after that, especially during the question period. That was when I found out he was a Republican. He sounded like the Convention and not like a regular nice guy named Frank Wolf. His opinion was sought on the abortion, freedom of choice controversy. We never found out what his opinion was, he told us that the Democrats were remiss. I interupted him because I did not think he had heard the question. He said if I would just be patient he would answer. But, he did not. He just kept talking about how terrible the Democrats were. And so it went. It never got any better. It made me wonder if they give out a pill that politicians have to take every morning which takes away their reason and replaces it with the party line. Somehow it reminded me of a new car salesman who will never give you a price, only counter offers. So Dear Honorable Congressman Frank Wolf we are probably going to get you for a representative and we don’t even know who you are. I was going to vote for you but you talked me out of it. WALTER DAY Flint Hill Tucker Clark: strong, true To the Editor: The news of Tucker Clark’s death last Saturday hit like a hammer. It seemed unimaginable that this vibrant and talented human being had left this world without warning. It was a sad story that spread throughout the area like wild fire. He was a builder of extraordinary measure. His houses, bams and shops are built solid and fast and accurate and to watch Tucker and his three sons work together was a fascinating experience. He was patient and confident and he had a way of bringing out the best in people. The almost unspoken communication that would bring a project from start to finish, as well as the ever present good-natured banter that took place, was a pleasure to see and to be a part of. Building houses was only a part of his make-up. He lived comfortably, the patriarch in a family compound, near the base of Old Rag Mountain. He had a love for the simple country life and of days gone by. Times when people worked the land with draft horses. Something he often did and something he was doing when his horses spooked and he was run over and killed by the heavy farm equipment he was operating. Tucker gave so much to so many. His funeral was attended by artists, lawyers, businessmen, innkeepers, policemen and working men and women from almost every trade. His legacy will be the strength of charac ter he left to his four children and to those around him. If you are fortunate enough to live in a Tucker Clark house, then you know it is strong and solid and true. Just like Tucker Clark. PHILIP C. STRANGE Viewtown Birds review is right on To the Editor: We were very pleased to read Diana and. Lee Bird’s review of the recent performance of “H.M.S. Pinafore” at The Theatre. The Birds obviously enjoyed the Interact Theatre Company production as much as we did. It was one of the most professional and enjoyable shows we’ve seen in recent years and even topped the high standard previously set by their production of “Pirates of Penzance.” There is only one comment I would would like to add to the Birds’ rave notice which is to express our gratitude, on behalf of the Rappahannock community, to Wendy Weinberg for her proven commitment to the attraction of a variety of high quality productions for the enjoyment of the local theater audiences. Her contribution to theater lovers has not been limited to the upgrading and redecorating of the physical facility (although air conditioning in the middle of summer has been greatly appreciated). Wendy Weinberg has also worked hard to gain the respect and trust of well-established performers, like those of Interact, who enthusiastically anticipate bringing their skills and talents to the responsive audiences in Washington, Va.

She said ( her family had been in Rappahan- < nock County since the 1700s. “I feel very strongly that every time a variance is granted it weakens our laws to preserve Rappahannock,” she added. Margaret Dodson, Elsie Dodson’t sister who lives with her, said, “My sister and I live on our property and hope to spend the remainder of our lives there. When all the green disappears, who will want to come here. Everybody can’t live in Rappahannock. We all know that. I have enough land to build my dream house, which would be mostly glass, but I can’t afford it. We can’t all have what we want.” Chairman Louis G. “Butch” Zindel noted that the zoning ordinance has held up “pretty well so far.” Wakefield District representative Jennifer Matthews said, “I appreciate concerned citizens on both sides coming out for this.” On the question of whether the members felt the application met the first test for a variance, Mrs. Matthews and Piedmont District representative Jimmy Swindler Jr. voted yes, and Mr. Gottlieb and Mr. Zindel voted no. A variance requires at least three “yes” votes on the BZA. The BZA also voted to require that Carol Frances add another strand of wire and surveyor’s tape SHARE sign-up dates announced ; Edith Bridget, chairman for the S.H.A.R.E. host site at Washington 'Baptist Church, announced the signup dates for September.

There are more than 525 lots to be sold. Most are individual pieces. A few are sets, such as a cream and sugar set or a group of four tumblers. The auction started at 10 a.m., It will last nearly six hours. Bonnie and Earl Jewel are helping at the sale holding up each piece as it comes up for bid, carrying the pieces to the buyers. Otherwise, it is a family affair. While Bill Payne conducts the auction, Mauri Payne keeps track of the numbers of the successful bidders listing for each item sold, the lot number, buyer number and sales price. Mr. Payne’s mother, Mary Payne, is the cashier and his father, Red Payne, handles concessions selling donuts and coffee early on, then hotdogs, sandwiches, soft drinks and pie later in the day. At other auctions, not this one, with all glass merchandise, son Chris and daughter Megan help out. There are a few small children and a lot of grey heads. This is a serious crowd, collectors and dealers. Occasionally Mr. Payne tries to in ject a note of humor. “You’d better hold that with three hands, Bonnie,” or “Ma’am, let him bid; quit holding him down; it’s all in fun.” The bid he first asks for is the one he hopes to get in the end. Usually this does not happen. He will start by asking for $55 and eventually sell the item for $45, or originally ask for $125 and sell for $85, but occasionally there are surprises. He tried to start one item at $225, and eventually it sold for $400. This usually means the dealers have dropped out and two determined collectors are bidding against each other. Carnival glass was made between 1905 and 1930 by a number of companies in the United States and Europe. At the time Tiffany was selling beautiful art glass objects. Carnival glass started as “the poor man’s art glass,” Mr. Payne explained. Frequently it was made to be given away at carnivals or perhaps in boxes of detergent. It is pressed glass with the shimmering surface the result of a spray process. He has a yellowed newspaper clipping from when a factory was closed down and the inventory was sold. Pieces of carnival glass were advertised — one dozen bowls for 89 cents. Now only a few very common pieces sell for as little as $10 each.

"It wouldn’t make sense for the Inn to erect its streetlights if they turn out to be different from what the town ultimately chooses,” said Mr. Barton. “I don’t object to the fixtures they have chosen,” he added, “but the diverse situation they could possibly create.” “We could end up with an awful ‘polygot’ if we are not careful,” he said. Chairman Donna Kevis related to the board that regardless of the fixture that was chosen and even with the town paying the extra cost for erecting non-standard models, Potomac Edison still expected the town to pay an approximately $8 fee 'on each light. Mr. Barton pointed out that the town would not have to erect streetlights in areas lit by streetlights put up by the Inn, therefore saving the town approximately $4,000. Mr. O’Connell said that the Inn would like to creat a “square with lights all around it.” The board decided to defer the Inn’s request until after the public hearing. In other matters the board: Approved Joy Benedict’s request for a new sign for her brokerage Real Estate III, located at 3 Court Row. The sign, 16 inches by 20 inches, will be beige and brown. ARB member Dwight Matthews suggested that the sign should have an edge around it to give it a “more finished appearance.” i GRIGSBY REPAIR SERVICE General repair: Auto, truck, farm machinery Auto body repair & painting Specializing in horse vans and trailers Located next to Hillsdale Grocery ^ on Route 211, east of Washington ^ CULPEPER FORD-MERCURY I The “ULTIMATE” Used Car! 1992 Ford Program Cars • All With Low Mileage • • All Equipped With: 3.8 Litre V6 Power Windows-Power Locks-Power Seat-Tilt-Speed Control • All With Remainder of Factory 3-Year/36,000 Mile Warranty only$27989 mm # per per month !$500 DOWN: Cash or Trade) Sato price—$13,750; Finance—$13,250 • 975% APR for 60 months; Total of pymts =$16,793 40; Interest charge=$3,543.40; Taxes, tags and $10“ processing fee additional '89 Ford Festiva LX Red* AT* AC SALE:f3,995 '89 Ford Escort Red* AT* AC SALE: $4,995 V8 Plymouth Reliant LE 4 DR* AT* AC* Only 12K Mies!

• Community News • Obituaries Rappahannock News « • Real Estate • Classifieds Thursday, September 3,1992 New year brings many fresh faces to county schools Rappahannock’s newest teachers express enthusiasm for working in small system By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock N*w« Staff Writer The Rappahannock school system’s new teachers come from several states and have varying amounts of experience. As they gathered last Tuesday to begin pre-school meetings all were enthusiastic about the opportunity to work in a small school system. The two new second grade teachers are not new to Rappahannock. Kelly Brown grew up in Rappahannock and attended public schools through 10th grade. She transferred to Wakefield School in Huntly and graduated from there in 1988. She went to Sweet Briar College in Lynchburg and received her degree with a major in psychology this past spring. During her junior year she spent a month working at the elementary school as an intern, working especially with the first-grade teachers. She said she is happy to have the chance to teach in her home county. Marti Cannon grew up in Stafford County. She graduated from Mars Hill College near Ashville, N.C. and taught for five years, three in Stafford County and two in Culpeper County. Then she took 12 years off from teaching to raise two children and serve as the postmaster in Castleton. “I’m ready to come back to teaching,” she said. “I think your expectations are more realistic when you have children of your own.” Third grade teacher Virginia Striplin comes to the area from California. A graduate of San Fernando State she taught for 13 years in the Palm Dale School District north of Los Angeles “in the desert,” she said. When her husband was transferred to Virginia by his company Lockheed, they began looking for a place to live in this area. They settled on Amissville. “I really like this part of the country,” she said. Third grade teacher Beth Tillinghast grew up in Spenser, W.Va. As a senior at West Virginia University in Morgantown she decided to come to Rappahannock when assistant superintendent Robert Chappell came to a job fair at the university recruiting last year. She is living in Culpeper. “I’m really excited about being here,” she said. “Since this is my first year, I am really looking forward to seeing the kids.” Fourth grade teacher Lynne Gaines grew up in Northern Virginia and received a B. A. in psychology from Randolph Macon College in Ashland. She also earned an M.Ed. from George Mason University in curriculum and instruction. She said hers was the first class involved in a partnership with Fairfax County public schools. She spent an entire year in the schobls as an intern instead of a few weeks doing practice teaching. She has worked as an instructional assistant in the Fairfax schools and worked with that county’s sum Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Sharon Kilpatrick The RJR/Nabisco team this year consists of Kirk Halgren, left, Lilo Wolfe, Layne Vickers, Lynn Gaines, Lynn Beahm and Cyntha Brandt. mer school program. She is interested in becoming part of the team working on developing a computerized curriculum as part of the RJR/Nabisco grant. She is living in Warrenton. Sixth grade teacher Teresa Rudolph grew up in Pittsburg. She graduated from West Virginia University last year and was also recruited by Mr. Chappell. A first year teacher, she will be teaching science, but she will also teach “everything except math and social studies,” she said. “I’m getting used to this area after living in a more urban environment,” she said. She is living in Warrenton. Elementary school special education teacher Marcey Hall actually started teaching in Rappahannock schools part time last spring. At one time she had two other part-time jobs. Her position is full-time this year. A graduate of the University of Northern Colorado, she taught for six years in the New Jersey shore area. “I really like the idea of working in a small school division," she said. She lives in Jeffersonton. Remedial reading teacher Erika Johnson is originally from Minnesota, but she came to Rappahannock from Florida. A graduate of the University of South Florida in Tampa she taught for one year in the Tampa school system. She was visiting a friend in Winchester this summer when she saw an ad for the job in Rappahannock and decided to make the move to Virginia. She will be living in Winchester. Part time speech therapist Tammye Deimel will be teaching at both schools. This will be her first teaching job. A native of Little Rock she graduated from the University of Arkansas. “I wanted a change from Arkansas, so I moved to Northern Virginia,” she said. Now she has decided she does not like the Washington, D. C. area and is glad to get a job in a small school system in countryside that looks like Arkansas. “Everybody has been so nice,” she said. Linda Robinson will be teaching home economics at the high school. Originally from Washington state, she graduated from St. Olaf College in Minnesota. She taught for one year in Seattle and then taught adult education for 10 years in California. Since moving with her husband to Lakota in Fauquier County she has worked for two years in the kitchen for the Inn at Little Washington and for four years at Primavera Treatment Center. “I’ve done some of everything,” she said. “I’ve farmed and had a vineyard too.” Andra Logan, who will be a special education teacher at the high school, was bom and raised in Warren County. After getting a degree from the University of Virginia, she taught for 15 years in Warren County. She decided to teach in Rappahannock because “I heard about the quality program, and I was ready for an upbeat change. The smaller school appeals to me.” Donna Salerno, who will also be teaching special education at the high school, grew up in New York and graduated from New York University. She taught special educa tion classes in the New York public schools for two and a half years and spent a half year working in early intervention programs. Budget cutbacks eliminated her job. She was visiting a friend in Culpeper last week when she saw an ad for a special education job in Rappahannock. “I was interviewed on Monday and hired on Tuesday, and here lam,” she said. She will live in Culpeper Kirk Halgren, who is the new director for the RJR/Nabisco project, grew up in Bethesda. He received a B.S. from George Mason University in electronic engineering. Since getting his degree he has worked as a spread sheet programmer for the Federal Communications Corp. and as a project engineer for Teledyne Avionics in Charlottesville. He also found his job by answering an ad in the Culpeper paper. He lives in Brandy Station. Lynn Beahm, another member of the RJR/Nabisco project team is the expert on Macintosh computers. She worked for SWIFT in the systems documentation department, developing an on-line system and user manuals. She lives in Culpeper. The third member of the team is Layne Vickers. She has taught fourth grade for several years at the elementary school. On leave from the classroom for three years, she will serve as the fourth grade curriculum specialist on the team. Because she is an experienced teacher, she will also be available to substitute in the classroom so the regular fourth grade teachers, Cynthia Brandt, Lilo Wolfe, and Lynn Gaines can work with the project team. Roundabout 'Hear My Song' is movie “Hear My Song,” rated R, starring Adrian Dunbar, Ned Beatty, David McCallum and Shirley-Anne Field will be shown at The Theatre at Washington, Va. on Sunday, the weekly RAAC-sponsored movie. Set in England during the late 1960’s, a young music promoter Micky O’Neill (Adrian Dunbar) is in search of the ultimate booking and legendary (real-life) singer Josef Locke (Ned Beatty). Meanwhile, Chief Constable Abbott (David McCallum) is also in search of Locke for back taxes, while Cathleen Doyle (Shirley-Anne Field), who had an affair with Locke after he awarded her first prize in the Miss Dairy Goodness beauty pageant, is also looking for the illusive Locke. The problem with the sound on the film.“Where Angels Fear to Tread” was on the soundtrack on the film, not the sound system at the theater. We will hope and expect normal sound at this week’s movie “Hear Mv Song.” In coming weeks, the Theatre’s RAAC movies series will feature: “Ferngully,” Sept. 13; “Mindwalk,” Sept. 20; and “Sister Act,” Sept. 27. Carl Coon to perform The chamber music of Rappahannock County resident Carl Coon will be featured on Saturday, Sept. 5 at The Theatre at Washington, Va. Appearing in this concert of new and original music by Coon is the Sunrise Quartet, called “a triumph of talent” by the Washington Post, and the internationally acclaimed ensemble Trapezoid. The concert is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. and is being jointly presented by RAAC and Ki Theatre. Advance tickets are $7 and can be purchased at Mountainside Market in Washington, Faith Mountain Company in Sperryville, Hackley’s Store in Amissville, Royal Oak Bookstore in Front Royal, Culpeper Music Center, the New Leaf and the Natural Marketplace in Warrenton. Tickets are also available at the door for $10. For further information call the RAAC office at 675-3193 or Ki Theatre at 987-3164. Kerig at Middle Street Local fiber artist, Janet Kerig will be exhibiting new works at Middle Street Gallery during the month of September. The exhibition “Willow, Honeysuckle and Silk” features baskets, sculpture, wall hangings and wearable art. An opening reception to meet the artist is scheduled from 6 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 5. The public is invited. A step back in time Many contributed money to buy park By BARBARA STEWART Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer (Editor’8 note: This article is the last of the series about the history of Shenandoah National Park.) After the Southern Appalachian National Park Committee decided that the Shenandoah National Park should be the first park in the southern Appalachians, the next step for George Freeman Pollack and all the other park boosters was to raise money towards purchase of park lands. Another association was formed by the Virginia State Chamber of Commerce. “Buy an acre for $6," was the campaign slogan. One of my favorite footnotes to the money story involved John D. Rockefeller Jr., a famous parks fan. He later donated $5 million dollars to the purchase of lands in the Smokies. According to an employee’s researches, he gave $163,361.05 for Shenandoah. Was he balancing a checkbook? More important, over 24,000 individuals donated money to the project. Yes, there were big contributors, including the Commonwealth and Edsel Ford. There were also names you can’t find when you read accounts in “Great Man” histories. School children, business people, professionals and organizations from all around the state pledged or donated money for a national park in Virginia. The monies raised showed that lands for a park could be bought. In the first months of 1926, Congressional hearings were held. On May 22, 1926, President Calvin Coolidge signed the bill authorizing Shenandoah National Park. It was not until December of 1935 that the Park was established. Between President Coolidge’s signa- ture and President Franklin Roosevelt’s dedication speech in 1936, there was plenty of sweat and tears. The 1926 act authorizing the Park set the maximum boundary to include over half a million acres. Three-quarters of that had to be delivered in order for the park to be established. It was quickly clear that the state had bitten off more than it could chew. Surveys of lands and a better cost estimate proved it. Carson and the Virginia State Commission on Conservation and Development, convinced the Park Service and the Congress of the need for change. In 1928 the minimum area necessary for park development was declared at 327,000 acres. The Depression forced anothei change. There simply wasn’t mone) enough to buy all the land. In 1932 the minimum acceptable lands wert set at 160,000 acres, 250 square miles. 4 The Virginia State government supported the idea of a national park within its boundaries throughout the years. Over 1.2 million state dollars went towards land acquisition. Governors Trinkle, Byrd and Peery led the legislature in the struggle to establish Shenandoah National Park. Barely two generations had passed since the end of the War Between the States. Acquiring, the land for the park was a long and difficult process. Four hundred sixty-five families lived on park lands. Less than half owned their homes or any land at all. Darwin Lambert’s figures show total ownership by year round residents was about 7 percent of the park acreage. Over 80 percent of the tracts turned over to the state were owned by people who lived outside of the park. Confusion was everywhere during the years of land acquisition. Landowners told renters they could stay, then the state said they had to leave. There were willing sellers and unwilling sellers. People left gladly to later regret the decision. People left reluctantly then were happy to live elsewhere. A few dozen were granted special permission to spend the rest of their lives in their homes. The last person, Annie Shenk, died in 1979. Two people provide good summaries of the efforts to create the Park. The first is the granddaughter of a couple who owned land in the park. “I’m glad the park’s here,” she said recently. “But, I wish my grandparents could have lived out their years at home.” Mr. Carson said. Even Republicans are nice in Rappahannock County After that column in the last issue I wonder if I can keep going. A kind of, can I top that, situation. I cannot call to mind any special subject so I will just grab about and hope for the best. Cool Carl called (catchy phrase, what?) last week with a suggestion for the readers. His consort and several others took a ride in a balloon. (An aside thought, you can’t ride in a balloon nor can you ride on a balloon; oh well, on with the story.) This event evidently ignited Carl’s mental processes and he was reminded of the Republican election campaign. “Entirely powered by hot air. and drifts whichever way the wind blows.” I live in a house on a comer in Flint Hill, six miles from Washington by way of the Fodderstack Road. In the apartment above is a good neighbor. Her name is Grace Yokum and she is widely known here in the county for her personal charm. She has many visitors and entertains several times a year. She is very active. The unusual thing about Grace is that she is 95 years old. Grace told me a story not long ago that you may find interesting pnd instructive. It seems that she visited with a relative near Berkley Springs. The relative, a woman, runs a clinic of sorts that encourages and counsels people |g] By Day who wish to quit smoking. After introductions and small talk the hostess asked Grace if she had ever smoked. Grace answered, “Oh yes. I started when I was 16 years old." “When did you quit?” enquired the hostess. “When 1 was 84” answered Grace, “and I feel so much better." The hostess stated that there was a guest in their program that was 65 and felt that she was too old to quit. Grace became the visiting speaker at that moment. Moral of the story, “You are never too old to quit.” For some reason this reminds me of a story by James Thurber in fables of our time. I won’t boreyou with the story, but the moral was; “It is better to have loved and lost than to have never lost at all," which seems to me a story in itself. Back to the neighborhood, which is Rappahannock County. An acquaintance of mine, from some 25 years back visited the° county last Monday. Her son had an encounter with the law and it was her mission to be in the court room for the indictment as well as visit with him afterward. She remarked to me that she had lived in the same apartment in Alexandria for 20 some years and that she knows only two or three people that would speak or would help her if she were in distress. During her brief visit here last Monday many people came to comfort her and showed her sincere concern. One woman, a friend of her son, offered her the hospitality of her home anytime, and as long as she wanted to stay. She was amazed at this show of spontaneous frienship and caring. You remember I said that, right here, that the people in this county were very special. Even Republicans, have somehow managed to spontaneously catch the local fever and are quite likeable. I worry about them, but they are really nice folks. I would also like to note that the Cool Carl mentioned above is none other than Carl Coon the creator of some special music that will be presented at the Ki Theater on Sept. 5. We expect everyone to be there. Names will be taken.

THOMPSON FUNERAL HOME 503-7 NORTH MAIN ST., CULPEPER, VIRGINIA 703/825-6700 (Body andSouC Contemplate the connection...work and soul. Work and the body...a straightforward concept; whatever our work, we must utilize our body, whether primarily brain or brawn. Work and the soul...now ponder this. How do you feel, physically and emotionally, after an active and satisfying workday? Perhaps a feeling of stimulation...of elevation...of the body and the soul...sometimes coined “a good tired". Why? Because work done with dedication is also good for the soul. A new concept? Hardly. Over one hundred years ago, the philosopher, Henry David Thoreau, wrote, "Good for the body is the work of the body, and good for the soul is the work of the soul, and good for either the work of the other." Inclusive in our celebration during the week of Labor Day, as we woir-. ship, may we praise God as the source of our talents and our vigor. He who labors as he prays lifts his heart to God with his hands. ’ — St. Bernard of Clairvaux ‘>"#.;,Sunday*,fe pft’MOfXJfAvS ?'l Corinthians | • Tuesday Jf^laaiah .m p: f'5f V.vy^:' Wednesday - g&e#odus^tg Lv.^Hiradpyv/ii r pouteronomy ’ 'jkMFridayf;^'' Psalm h 'J 2^72''*^^ — ... .
