To Expand By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer After an emotional public hearing Monday night the Board of Supervisors voted 4 to 0 to rezone 10 acres behind the Faith Mountain Company’s catalogue operation from agricultural to General Commercial so the company can expand. Supervisor Chairman Hubert Gilkey abstained because he is doing construction work for Martin and Cheri Woodward, owners of the company, and vice chairman Charles K. “Pete” Estes chaired the meeting. Attorney Douglas Baumgardner and Mr. Woodward made presentations similar to those they made at the Planning Commission last month. In addition the Woodwards offered another proffer that if water and sewer service become available in the area, they will hook up. Mr. Woodward said the new’ building they will build will not be another metal building. He said it would be of bar joist construction with a textured masonry outside, and the front building will get a more “retail friendly” front addition for selling “overstocked items from the catalogue.” He said they had looked at several other properties, but other properties that would suit the business were not for sale. Conrad Koneczny, owner of the Public House, spoke in favor of the application, saying the Faith Mountain Company brings in tourist business to help the county's economy and that the business uses the Public House for meetings. Linda Dietel said the company is an industry that "does not impact agriculture.” She added that it offers desireable high quality employment. Susan Babcock and Mark Malek aLo spoke in favor of the rezoning. Richard Caldwell, who owns property adjoining the land slated for rezoning opposed the application. He said he was being squeezed by commercial uses See Faith, Page A-6 Trash Deal May Collapse By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors backed away from the agreement to haul county trash to Fauquier without taking any vote on the matter at Monday’s meeting. Also the supervisors voted to advertise for new contracts to operate the landfill and collect county trash for nine months. The current contract with Updike Industries for both landfill operation and trash collection expires October 1. County Administrator John McCarthy said he had read a report that two of the members of the Fauquier Board of Supervisors wanted to get out of the agreement, which had been approved unanimously two weeks earlier. The other three board members did not agree, Mr. McCarthy reported. Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham, who runs Fauquier County’s landfill, said however, he believes the Fauquier supervisors will try to increase the tipping fees for Rappahannock trash. The agreement said that Rappahannock’s fees would be 5* percent higher than those charged Fauquier users at the beginning, but did not specify that the difference could hot be made greater. Chairman Hubert Gilkey not&I that a lot of time anti effort has been spent trying to work out agreements with other counties, first with Page and Warren counties and later with Fauquier. “I think we ought to go to Amissville and do our thing and let these other counties do their thing,” he said. “We’re back to square one.” Mr. McCarthy asked the supervisors if they wanted to try to negotiate on a month to month basis with Updike Industries to continue the contract. Last year the supervisors declared an “emergency” to negotiate a one-year extension with Updike Industries. “Let’s see what Peter (Luke) thinks,” Piedmont District representative Charles K. “Pete” Estes suggested. “We’ve already declared one emergency. Can we keep declaring emergencies?” Hampton District representative Mike Massie first suggested that the county close the dumpster sites at Huntly and Scrabble and require people to take their trash to the landfill until a centralized location is developed for another dumpster site and recycling center. Later he suggested the county open the bidding process “to get competition." Mr. Luke said the county would have a better case for declaring an emergency if the dumpsters were left in place since Updike Industries owns them. Later the supervisors agreed to seek bids for “competitive negotiation" rather than “competitive sealed bids.” They approved a resolution saying that “competitive sealed bids” would not be feasible because different contractors might bid for different sendees and because there are less than 60 days before the current contract expires. Mr. Estes asked how much a new cell at the landfill will cost, and Mr. McCarthy said he did not know. He said the current cell can be used for about 10 more months if the county applies for a variance from the requirement that the landfill have a doubleliner after October 9. He said the county should be able to get the variance because the current cell is lined and there is leachate collection. Royer Engineering of Richmond, which is designing the next cell, has submitted a Part A sfppljcaticfh to the state and will submit results of seismic studies this week, Mr. McCarthy said. Once the state approves, the firm will be ready to submit a Part B application, he said. When that is approved the county can solicit bids for the new cell. See Trash, Page A-6 Co-op Claims Line Needed ... .... . -?*• .... ..... . „ By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock Electric Cooperative sent three representatives to the Board of Supervisors meeting Monday to talk about a new transmission line from Sperrvville to the Co-op’s substation at Rixeyville and ran into a stone wall. The REC representatives said the new transmission line would enable them to supply electricity more reliably to customers served from the Rixeyville substation. REC would purchase electricity from Potomac Edison and would be responsible for putting in the line, which would require a 100-foot wide rightof-way. Last month County Administrator John McCarthy told the supervisors of the proposed new line. The supervisors responded by asking him to write to Potomac Edison to ask if that company would be interested in serving those customers who get electricity from the Rixeyville substation and live in Rappahannock County. At this month's meeting Mr. McCarthy gave the supervisors a copy of a letter he hat! received from Alan Noia, president of Potomac Edison, stating that the company would be happy to serve those customers “if the customers to not object and the cost of our acquiring the Cooper* ative’s facilities is reasonable.” Mr. Noia’s letter said that the REC had approached Potomac Edison last year about purchasing electricity from the Sperryville substation, and at that time Potomac Edison “offered to provide service to the portion of Rappahannock County served by the Cooperative through the Rixley substation. Our supplying those customers may increase the reliability of their electric service and would lighten the load on the Rixley substation. The Cooperative did not respond to our offer and continued to request the connection at Sperryville.” Mr. Noia wrote that early this year Potomac Edison agreed to provide REC with the connection at Sperryville. His letter noted that even if Potomac Edison served, the Rappahannock customers on the substation at Rixeyville, that would still leave more than 1,500 customers in Culpeper County on REC in need of more reliable service. The letter further noted that supplying electricity for transmission to Rixeyville would mean that Potomac Edison would need a second transmission line to the Sperryville substation “by the year 2000. Without serving the Rixley substation demand, the line couid be de laved as much as another ten years.” Frank Andrews, Culpeper district manager for REC, said that the problems at the Rixeyville substation are a^ matter of the reliability of the line coming into the station not the load on the line, and thus reducing the number of customers by turning the 40 percent of the customers in Rappahannock over to Potomac Edison would not improve the reliability problem. REC would still need a more reliable source of power for the customers in Culpeper County. He said that the Rixeyville substation receives its power from VEPCO. The VEPCO line coming into the substation is used by VEPCO for distribution to its customers as well as transmission to the substation. Because it passes through a built-up area, there are problems with trees and buildings encroaching on the right-of-way. Mr. Andrews said he was not aware of any offer from Potomac Edison to serve REC’s customers in Rappahannock. REC’s representatives said they would need to do survey work to settle on a route for the line. He said they would then come back and deal with landowners, the Planning ComSee Power, Page A-6 Old Rag Bulletins Government at a Glance •School Board, 8 p.m., Tuesday, August 11, Rappahannock High School. • Library Finance Committee, 10 a.m., Tuesday, August 11, Rappahannock County Library. • Board of Supervisors, (continued meeting), 7 p.m., Tuesday, August 17, County Courthouse. • Architectural Review Board, 7:30 p.m., Thursday, August 19, County Courthouse. Sperryville Sewer Rates To Rise 39% By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Nil one showed up to oppose the 39 percent increase in sewer rates for the Sperryville treatment plant. The three members of the Water and Sewer Authority (WSA) present quickly closed the public hearing on the rate increase last Thursday and voted to adopt the new rate of $21.50 per month for each Equivalent Dwelling Unit and the budget for the coming year. Chairman Eugene Leggett said the increase was needed because of increased operating costs “due to more rigorous requirements by the state. If we don’t meet them, we’ll be fined. We don’t have any choices. I hope in future years requirements from the state will be more stable.” Member Jimmy Swindler Jr. said that the average rate in the state is $15132 per month, but that rates range from $9.50 to $34. Mr. Leggett said, “One of our top priorities is to look for ways to cut costs.” Member Carson Johnson noted that the new rate would have to take effect with the next set of bills or the budget “would be in trouble.” Mr. Swindler reported that the inspection of tanks is completed. He recommended that some tanks have a usage meter attached to determine if they are pumping more than would be expected because ground water is getting into the tanks. He also recommended that all the gaskets to the lids over the pumping chambers be replaced and that tanks with two pumps be changed to one pump.

Wakefield Plan Hits Hurdles By JESSICA FALK Rappahannock N*w« Staff Writer — At its monthly meeting last week, the Fauquier County Planning Commission tabled the special exception application of Wakefield School to build a new educational facility at Archwood Farm, south of The Plains. Wakefield School, which has been operating in its temporary location at Marshall Manor since its eviction from its original site in Huntly, in Rappahannock County, in August of 1991, hopes to make a permanent home at Arch wood Farms. In a staff report that was presented to the Planning Commission at its July 29 meeting, planner Laura Cox recommended that the vote on the application be tabled until the Virginia Department of Transportation could make a complete recommendation concerning traffic patterns. In addition, county engineer Linda Unkefer submitted a report indicating that the water storage tank on the site may not provide adequate flow for firefighting. Ms. Cox’s report indicated that the proposal meets all of the other criteria of the Comprehensive Plan. But utilities may prove to be another glitch in Wakefield’s plan. Because the school lies just outside the service district, the Water and Sanitation Authority cannot extend public utilities to the site without the approval of the Planning Commission. Under Section 15.1-456 of the Code of Virginia, the Planning Commission must approve extensions of utility lines beyond the service districts unless they are specifically shown in the Comprehensive Plan. If they are not shown, the Planning Commission must determine whether or not the proposed extension is in substantial conformance with the adopted plan. Wakefield’s application for a special exception included a request for review of 15.1-456. Janies Downey, counsel for Wakefield, noted in a statement of justification for Planning Commission approval in this review that the use of the site will conform with the Comprehensive Plan because of its possible alleviation of overcrowding in the public school system. “Much of the planning process is devoted to the impact of residential development on the public schools. The Wakefield School will provide school seats w hich might be required otherwise in the public school system, and will not have any burdensome effects,” Downey said. Ms. Cox noted that public water and sewer line extensions already exist on the 529-acre property, from which 50 acres are to be subdivided for Wakefield. A hook-up to the water tank will require the construction of a 1,500-foot lateral extension, and a connection to sewer access will entail a 2,000-foot lateral. In addition, the proposed extensions are site specific — because of the limited size of the proposed lines, the area in question would not be opened up for any other type of development that is not already set forth in the Comprehensive Plan. The WSA stated that the proposed extension would be a logical addition to its current systems. Whether or not Wakefield gets approval for extension of the utilities, the school purchased eight newly-released sewer taps early Monday morning, according to Dave Binning, the general manager of the WSA. For the last four years, a waiting list for taps in the Marshall plant, which serves the Marshall service district and The Plains, has been Lynn Elected Historian Washington resident Welby Lynn was elected to the office of historian for the Virginia Junior Classical League at the National Junior Classical League Convention held July 25-30 at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. The 160-member Virginia delegation to the national convention elected the Wakefield Country Day School junior for a oneyear term. The historian’s major duty is to be the archivist, compiling a scrapbook detailing the events of the state’s chapters, which number nearly 100. Virginia is one of the leading states in the U.S. in promotion and teaching of the Classics. “This is certainly an honor for Welby and for Wakefield Country Day Schoo. The delegation has chosen well; Welby will do a superb job,” commented Wakefield’s Junior Classical League sponsor, Kay Larrieu, who accompanied the seven Wakefield Country Day School students to the national convention and was assisted by Wakefield alumnus Chris Larrieu. Lynn returned from the convention with the distinction of being among the top 20 award winners from the 1500 participants in the various competitions. For this distinction. she received a sweepstakes trophy. Welby received a total of 17 awards, including first place ribbons in Open Certamen and in oil and acrylic artwork, third in Roman history, English oratory, modern myth, sculpture, and pen and ink. Welby won fifth through tenth place awards in Greek derivatives; quotes, mottoes and abbreviations; Latin derivatives; Roman private life; Latin literature; Latin pentathlon; English essay: pencil; charcoal; mixed media; and miscellaneous. Andrews Inglis, Washington, also attended the convention and won first place in modern myth in the category for grades 8 and below. Andrew placed among the top ten in Hellenic history, Roman history, Latin derivatives, Roman private life, and in pencil artwork. WCDS junior Tim Inglis, Washington, was also a member of the student group. EDUCATIONAL SUPPLIES FOR.

Wakefield was a recent entry onto the list. However, July 27, the WSA Board decided that the plant was not being used to capacity, and it announced that it would release 100 taps August 2, first thing in the morning, on a first come, first served basis. The purchase of the taps, however, does not guarantee Planning Commission aprdval. Binning said that Wakefield purchased the taps knowing that it has “another loop to go through.” If Wakefield cannot get approval for the extension of utilities by either the Planning Commission or, ultimately, the Board of Supervisors, it may still be able to proceed with the plan. Phase I of the school, which will be the largest construction phase, does not even plan for the use of public utilities. There is already a well and a drainfield on the property that may provide adequate service for Phase I. Community Development director A1 Goldsmith said that there may be other water and sewer options in the future to accomodate Wakefield’s needs without the extension of public utilities. At the Planning Commission’s public hearing on the Wakefield application, some residents of The Plains presented opposition to the proposal. Lynn Wiley, who owns the property adjacent to the school, said that she is not adverse to the location of the school, but she is against the close proximity of the school’s driveway, which dumps out onto Route 245, to her property. The proposed driveway is only approximately 100 feet from her land, she said. Goldsmith said that the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors must decide whether or not the proposed location of the driveway will adversely affect the neighboring property, but that it does meet all of the requirements of the zoning ordinance. He added that in order for Wakefield to move the driveway, the school will have to purchase additional land w ith access to an acceptable road. Mrs. Wiley also expressed concern about the potential increased traffic in The Plains. Wakefield’s projections indicate that if the school reaches its maximum enrollment of 500 students, there could be up to 670 trips to the school each day. While the location of the students seems to indicate that most of the traffic will travel on Interstate 66 and U.S. 17, avoiding the town, Mrs. Wiley is concerned that traffic through the town itself will increase to an overwhelming level. Charles Matheson, another resident of The Plains, questioned the impact on taxes of such a large number of people. He said that Wakefield will be yet another attraction in The Plains, and it will be necessary for the community to soak up the costs of increased services and upgraded highways to accomodate excess traffic and residential development that the school will attract. The proposal calls for construction in four phases, the first of which will include classrooms, “flexible space” for a gymnasium and auditorium and administrative offices. Wakefield’s architect Davis Buckley said that he plans to work with the existing infrastructure as much as possible, causing the least impact to the site. For example, he plans to use the existing roadway, while the manor house and two stone outbuildings will be restored for school use. Planning Commission chairman Henry Atherton said that the commission has not had ample time to consider the proposal before voting on the special exception and the 456 approval. “Suddenly, this has gone on a very fast track,” he said. The Planning Commission voted to table both votes until the next regular meeting. Jane Batchelder Teacher Retires School days are over for Mrs. Jane Batchelder, Amissville, who is retiring after a teaching career that has spanned almost 30 years, including the last 20 at Fauquier High School, Warrenton. “I’ll miss the kids,” she said. “They keep you young. But retirement will give me more time with the family, and to read and travel.” Mrs. Batchelder’s most recent position at Fauquier High was as a reading specialist. She is a former coordinator in Fauquier County for the English as a Second Language (ESL) program. She taught in the Alexandria school system before taking the Fauquier position.

CULPEPER MOTOR CORP. 401 James Madison Hwy. • Culpeper. VA (703) 825-8381 - (800) 432-1711 Board Approves Jwo Requests By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Zoning Appeals approved a variance from the side yard setback requirements for a garage and approved a special use permit for a family apartment last Wednesday. Jay Eaves asked for a variance to build a garage 11 feet, instead of 50 feet from his property line. The Eaves property is zoned rural residential and is located in Rappahannock Lakes. Mr. Eaves had purchased land adjoining his own from James and Sally Brady to build the garage on. The garage will be closest to the remaining Brady property, and the Bradys said they did not want to sell any more land but they had no objection to the garage location. A shorter outbuilding would not have needed the variance. The zoning ordinance requires that outbuildings less than 10 feet high be set back as far as they are tall. Those taller than 10 feet are supposed to meet the 50-foot setback requirement. Mr. Eaves said that the garage door would have to be taller than average to accomodate a truck he uses in his business. He said he could only build a 10-foot-high garage by putting on a flat roof. To build a garage with the A-line roof he wanted, it would have to be 14 to 14 1/2 feet tall, he said. He said he could not build farther from the property line because of drain lines and woods. In discussing the variance, County Administrator John McCarthy said the BZA might consider a less severe standard than “hardship approaching confiscation” because an outbuilding is a less intensive use than a house. This argument persuaded three of the five BZA members. The vote was 3 to 2 in favor of granting the variance. Chairman Louis G. “Butch” Zindel was joined by members Jennifer Matthews and Jimmy Swindler Jr. in voting for the variance. Members Sid Gottlieb and Alex Sharp voted against the variance because they said the hardship from denying the variance would not be severe. “He was going to build it anyway," Mrs. Matthews said. She said she had supported the variance because the garage would look better with a sloping roof. The vote was 3 to 0 in favor of the special use permit for a family apartment for Ann Harmon. Mr. Zindel and Mrs. Matthews did not vote on the issue because Mrs. Matthews’s husband, architect Dwight Matthews, had done design work for Mrs. Harmon, and Mr. Zindel said he might be building the apartment. Mrs. Harmon said she would live in the apartment built into the loft story of a horse barn while her daughter, veterinarian Joyce Harmon, lived in the main house. ’Roundabout Movie This Weekend “Sommersby” will be the movie at the Theatre in Washington on Sunday, August 8.

The rides have been taken away, the booths dismantled ; and the last piece of trash picked up. The final parade and I carnival is finished for the season. !• The many carnivals, parades and fireworks are fun and ; help to make Rappahannock summers even more enjoyable. ! They are also vital to the continued operation of much of our ! vital emergency services that we often take for granted. ; Fire departments and rescue squads have two jobs. The ; first job is to put out fires and save lives. The second job is to 1 raise enough money so they can do the first. Fire and rescue units operate on shoestring budgets. ; They are staffed almost entirely by volunteers. Rappahannock County pays some of the expenses, such as insurance. The ; Amissville and Chester Gap departments also serve neighboring Culpeper and Warren counties, and receive some funding from those jurisdictions. But this money still does not adequately cover their expenses. To make up the difference, they turn to fund raising and the traditional fund-raisers: fairs and carnivals, parades, fireworks, rides, games, raffles, food and sales. Most departments have one main fund raiser each summer with smaller bake sales the rest of the year. For those who attend and buy the barbecue dinners, raffle tickets, and funnel cakes, it is an almost painless method of raising tax money. Fairs and carnivals are risky businesses, however-worse, some say, than farming. Like farming, a year of income for the fire department can be made or lost in the space of a few days. And if the weather is too hot, too cold, too wet or too something, that income may not even cover expenses, and additional fund raisers will be needed. Some of the fire and rescue workers and their spouses enjoy and even thrive on these fund-raising chores; indeed some of the most valuable volunteers do more fund raising than fire fighting. They do an excellent job, and add fun and enjoyment to our way of life. But should fire departments and rescue squads be forced to rely on carnivals and bake sales for their income? Should the safety of county residents depend on the sale of cookies? Should the departments be forced to spend more time fund raising than in fire and rescue? We think not. Public funding should be enough to adequately support the fire and rescue departments. They should not have to depend on the vagaries of the weather to determine their available funds. Don’t misunderstand. We are not suggesting that the carnivals, fairs, fireworks, and bake sales should be discontinued. They are priceless community assets whose value far exceeds the fund raising components. Let the fairs continue. But don’t make public safety depend on them.

Johnson objects to George Allen’s desire to be governor of Virginia because he is "a rich kid ‘who’ never had to sweat out a crop or work at a real job.”? This, from a member of the party that follows wide-eyed, openmouthed and adoring the sons of Joseph Kennedy? Because “his more recent paid job was one year in the U.S. Congress learning how to screw up government, the worst possible training for a government.’’? This, from a member of the party that controls and has for many years controlled that Congress,, and found George Allen so unable to learn how to “screw up government” that they, having no honorable alternative, gerrymandered him out of their cosy den of thieves? (It occurs to me that pushing THE UTTE&BU&, 0\ Democrats to the wall is perhaps the best possible training to be a governor.) As for Mr. Johnson’s grabbing for his wallet when Mr. Allen’s TV commercials laud his integrity and his honesty, hey, I think we may be on to something good here: Republicans have been trying for a long time to find a way to keep Democrats’ hand on their own wallets and off ours. Hang in there, George! Very most terribly honestly vours, EDITH POND Sperry ville Keep Poe Road To the Editor: In 1753 the “old” Poes built the road from the Kennels on Route 647 to Route 522. The Poe Road came out between the present day Fosters’ packing house and the Wakefield School. The Poes were bom, raised, died and were buried along that road. To this day their mortal remains can be found in their eememtery beside that road. Before Rappahannock County was formed from part of Culpeper County, before there was a United States of America, there was a Poe Road. For some 240-odd years after the above facts, I understand the aforesaid road has been renamed the Jericho Road. That the Poe Road had to be renamed as a concession to the county’s 911 system and cannot be changed, slaps of error. What the Board of Supervisors taketh away, it can return. No government local or otherwise should become the instrument by which names of historical roads or places are changed. Therefore let’s get our feet down on reality and our minds in gear and return on old place to its old name. LOUISE TRIBLE ST.

VENTO Co-chairperson, “Art in the Park'* Virginia Politics Gets the Shaft By JOHN GOOLRICK What’s the beef? The Washington Post printed a long.story recently about Republican gubernatorial nominee George Allen’s attendance at an event called the Amelia Beef Festival. The upshot of the article was that proceeds from the festival went to help fund a small private school in Amelia County. The article quoted Allen as saying he didn’t know who sponsored the event and was there to meet people and try to gain votes. GOP lieutenant governor nominee Mike Farris, who was also present, echoed those words. A spokesperson for Democratic gubernatorial nominee Mary Sue Terry was quoted as saying she would have liked to attend the event but had other commitments. Since the private school was one started years ago when desegregation of public schools was ordered by the courts and since the school still has no blacks attending, the Post said that Allen and Farris were participating in fund raising for a segregated school. The article was par for the course in the way the Post covers Virginia politics, always preferring to give short shift to substance when it can find what it considers even a tiny whiff of scandal. Thus the people of Northern Virginia, the state’s most densely populated region, get their major coverage of state politics from a paper that does not provide either indepth or fair reporting. The space given to the beef festival story certainly seems inordinate when one considers that Allen or Farris, (or Ms. Terry) had no knowledge of the festival’s sponsor and, like most statewide candidates — Democrat or Republican — try to get to various events celebrating shad, oysters, crabs, pork, poultry or whatever to gain visibility, attract media attention and work the crowd. Beyond that, the private school in question has no policy prohibiting blacks or members of any other racial group from attending and with its much smaller enrollment than in the past certainly poses no threat to public education. As a further example of this kind of cheap-shot journalism, the story did not mention that there were Virginia Through Both Barrels blacks in attendance at the festival as well as several members of the General Assembly and other public > officials. It also did not mention that the spokesper- -i. son for Ms. Terry was not told what the story’s prem- ,7 ise would be when he was called to ask if she might have come to the festival. Such an overbiown article by one of the major purveyors of the news to Virginians makes one wonder if the media will listen to those who think it T should be more responsible in its performance. Just a few weeks ago, for example, I noted that respected state political observer Dr. Mark Rozell • « had written a piece expressing hope “the press coverage of this campaign will be focused more on the im- ” portant, though sometimes dull, policy issues that are of significance to the Commonwealth than on cer- •» tain emotion-laden, controversial issues.” That’s certainly a good idea, but not one the Post is likely to take to heart. The Post is one of few newspapers with a full-time media reporter, one who has been seen frequently on television in recent weeks promoting his latest book. The problem is that the great majority of his V criticism is aimed at media elsewhere when he might find a few things worth criticizing in his own back yard if he’d just take a look. One of them would certainly be the consistent superficial coverage by the Post of Virginia political "7 campaigns with emphasis often on the trivial at the .//; expense of the significant. There is nobody running for statewide office in ' ' Virginia this year that I know of who condones dis- ‘ criminiation in any way, shape or form and the Post A„ knows it; but plays its little games anyway for the sake of sensationalism. (Editor’s note: John Goolrick, a former political ' reporter, is now an aide to 1st District Rep. Herbert ” ' Bateman. Opinions expressed are his own, atid not necessarily those of this newspaper.)

please Do Not Camp on The Lawn r I By BRUCE SLOANE * Rappahannock News Staff Writer !• You can find plenty of peculiar people in Shirt Tail Hollow and not all of them live there. The Hollow is in Rappahannock County only an hour and a half from Washington, D.C., and even less from the Virginia suburbs that blossom to the west of the city. I Shirt Tale Hollow borders Shenandoah National Park. Some folks can’t tell where the park ends and private property begins. They fail to see the numerous “No ►Trespassing” signs. They slip under the wire at the end Jpf the driveway, ignore the parked cars, and march over the carefully mowed lawn. ; Apparently they think that they are still in the ■park, and because they pay taxes, and national parks belong to taxpayers, they feel like it’s their property. Why [shouldn’t they enjoy themselves on their property? ; Of course, rude or impolite visitors are rare. Most are considerate and delightful. Joy and Uncle Fred remember the time some tourists from Oklahoma came bv. [It was the mid-point of a rainy, warm summer, and the trees, vines, bushes and shrubs were as lush as the Amazon basin. ■ A couple in a car with Oklahoma plates pulled up at [the end of the road. They looked around in amazement [at the veritable jungle surrounding them, and inhaled the green fragrance. They told Uncle Fred they could see more trees in one glance hbere than there were in the entire state of Oklahoma. ! The woman said she wasn’t sure she liked the overbearing canopy of leaves. This was the first time she had been east of the Mississippi, and it was hard to get used ■to Virginia’s rolling hills and lush vegetation. ! Her partner couldn’t understand why she acted so [apprehensive. “Isn’t this a nice change from all the brown and drab back home?” he asked. • “Well,” she said “it’s pretty, all right.” She looked around one more time in amazement. “But how can you [stand it all? Where ever you look there’s nothing but green-green-green!” ' Not everybody was so entertaining. Often Uncle Fred and the group would return home to find families sprawled on the lawn, picnic baskets overflowing. They jnight be only 20 feet from the house, but this is The Country (and they are Taxpayers) so they felt entitled to party here. When Aunt Suzanne or Uncle Fred tell them they [are on private property, amazement flows across thenface. “We thought we were in the park,” they say; or “We thought nobody lived here” (despite the mowed lawn, toys all over the yard, and one or more licensed cars in the yard.) But usually they pack up and move on with a minimum of resistance and argument. Occasionally there is resistance. “How can you embarrass me in front of the children?” asked one family man. “It’s easy,” Uncle Fred said. “You’re on private property. Would you like to move on now, or do you want to wait for the sheriff?” The family man considered his face-saving options, packed up, and moved on. “I’m a taxpayer!” said another, indignantly. “So am I,” said Uncle Fred, smiling broadly. “I’m always glad to meet a fellow taxpayer. Please get off my property,” The fellow taxpayer gathered up his picnic cooler and left. One man was particulary hard to convince. Uncle Fred was about to signal Aunt Suzanne to go in the house and call the sheriff, when he asked the man where he lived. “Sliver Springs, Maryland,” he snarled. “Why do you ask?” he added belligerently. “Well,” said Uncle Fred, “we need a place to picnic next week. I thought we’d try your yard.” The man glared at the group. He opened his mouth several times, but no words came out. Slowly he packed up and left. One night about 3 a.m. when the full moon was as bright as a searchlight, Earl looked out the window to see what looked like a mirror shining back at him. When he squinted against the glare, he saw somebody in a sleeping bag. But what was that brilliant glare? He woke Joy, and the two of them tip-toed into the brightness. For safety and defense they brought a pie pan to bang on for noise, and a stick to use in case they became desperate. Sure enough, there was a sleeping bag, and somebody was in it. And the glare was coming from the end of the bag. They looked again. The glare was a bald head! Earl stared indignantly at the sleeping trespasser and started to bang on the pie pan. The man sat up in the sleeping bag with a start, and climbed out. Not only was his head bare, but so was the rest of him! Earl screamed and Joy ran into the house to wake up Uncle Fred. Uncle Fred came out. After a short discussion the camper put on some clothes. Uncle Fred and the camper continued the discussion. After a longer discussion the camper soon drove off into the moonlight. Riverfest Is Ready To Float By GAIL TERP Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

^Power j» • m. .2 From Page A-l teussion and the Board of Supervisors. «» Piedmont District representative Charles K. “Pete” Estes said, “I am opposed to any additional line coming out of Sperryville. My suggestion is you write to Potomac Edison to take over your service area. You have a lot of lines jumping over and under Potomac Edison lines, and you don’t have that many customers anyway.” Mr. Estes asked the REC representatives if they had considered getting power from a substation near Boston instead of Sperryville. They said they would not be able to get as large a line from Boston as one from Sperryville. Mr. Estes said the Sperryville substation is unique in that it can get power from Luray, Front Royal, or Madison. “The station is only out momentarily. There is always power at that station,” he said. “I can understand w’hy you would want to pick up current at that station.” Hampton District representative Mike Massie noted that 60 percent of the patrons of the Rixeyville substation are in Culpeper and 40 percent in Rappahannock. He said the ratio would only get larger for Culpeper. “The load is generated in Culpeper, but it is going through Rappahannock,” he said. He asked if Rappahannock’s rural nature was the reason getting power from Sperryville is cheaper. “What would be your response if this board says this solution is not acceptable to Rappahannock?” Mr. Massie asked. Mr. Andrews and REC engineer Nevins Wilburn said they did not know. After the REC representatives BEFORE YOU BUY STOP THINK!

They later discussed legal issues involved in the project with County Attorney Peter Luke in executive session. ►Faith From Page A-l with Faith Mountain on one side and Fanning Baumgardner’s Christmas tree farm and the Bleu Rock Inn on the other. He said he was concerned he wouldn’t be able to sell his property because of the commercial uses around him. Mr. Caldwell also said his house was only 12 feet from the property line and he has an old dug well right on the property line that he uses when the electricity goes off. He said he did not think the Health Department would allow Faith Mountain to put in septic drain lines where the Woodwards’ proposal shows them because of the well. He said the Woodwards had not complied with screening proffered as part of their rezoning for the current building. “What do the Woodwards owe the Caldwells, Clarks, and Jenkinses?” he asked. “They are in violation of the screening. You have the right to shut them down. Make them live up to the proffers of the first rezoning application.” He said that the Comprehensive Plan calls for existing commercially zoned land to be developed before more land is zoned commercial. Mr. Estes asked County Administrator John McCarthy to respond to Mr. Caldwell’s points. Mr. Me Carthy said that the Christmas tree farm is like any orchard or similar agricultural use and not considered commercial and that a commercial use such as the Blue Rock Inn is allowed in an agricultural zone. He said the well might present a problem, but it would be the responsibility of the Health Department to settle that. He said the Woodwards would have to put up a bond to make sure the screening is done this time and that bond will require the original screening be included. Finally he commented that as a result of the four-lane project on the highway little commercially zoned land is left. Of such land he asked, “If it is not on the market and the owners don’t want to sell it, is it available?” William Dobrovir also opposed the rezoning saying it would take “prime” agricultural land out of production and lead to serious safety problems with increased traffic. H. “Clark” Clark said he owTned land on the mountain overlooking the parcel scheduled for rezoning. He said he was speaking also for his father and sister who own land adjoining the property. He said nationwide there is a glut of commercial property going unused. He offered to help the Woodwards find another property to use for their business. Brenda Collins said she is an appraiser and “expert witness.” She said she was representing the Caldwells, Clarks and Jenkinses. She said granting the rezoning would make the Clark and Jenkins properties nearly worthless. She also said there is a lot of unused commercial property that should be used before more land is zoned commercial. John Hartline, who owns property behind Mr. Caldwell said he was not concerned about the value of his property, but he was concerned about the land, his own and the land the Woodwards will buy. He said there was a group of people who would be badly affected by rezoning.“It’s not just one person,” he said. 7 Robert Jenkins said a lot of thC land is a wetland and that a stream; of water comes off that land onto his land flooding his dog kennels. With no one else to speak on the' application, the supervisors expressed their opinions. Hamptonr District representative Mike Massie said the Planning Commission had" paid attention to those who objected' to the application by requiring that; the property be screened and that the business not use the 30-foot right-of-way to the east that serves, the Jenkins and Clark properties.' He said that thqre are “many organizations with more authority than the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors to protect wetlands.” ' Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham said he had walked over the property and it only has poison ivy and a few old apple trees' on it now. “The best use of the property is with the existing facility," he said. He said the value of neighboring properties would go up. Finally he said, “We need to do everything we can to provide employment for people who live in the county. ” Stonewall-Hawthom District representative Robert Andersorf asked that lights shine toward, no£ away, from the building. Like the; other members he said he was con*cemed that the screening provisions be enforced. * Mr. Estes said that the people im his district were in favor of the re” zoning because of the jobs offered at the Faith Mountain Company. Mr. Massie, noting that the property is in his district, said that he believes the business will “enhance” the district. He said the opponents “are people I consider my friends.”’* He made the motion to approve the’ rezoning saying, “I would rather be* in court explaining why I voted for; this than why I voted against it.” •*; ►Trash From Page A-l The supervisors balked at new language proposed for . the agreement with the extension service. Although Rappahannock has never supplemented the state-set salaries of extension agents, other counties have, and the agreement mentions such supplements. The supervisors asked to have this taken out of the agreement last month before approving it. Mr. McCarthy said there was new language in the proposed agreement, but it still mentions supplements. He said the Extension Service wants to have all such agreements essentially “the same The supervisors said they still want language referring to salary supplements removed from the agreement, and they will continue under the current agreement until the issue can be resolved. The supervisors accepted Jack Jenkins’s low bid of $48,487 for remodeling the garage purchased from Virginia Lindstrom for use as a magistrates’ office. Mr. McCarthy noted that at least one of the proposals for a horse track in Virginia might have an impact in Rappahannock. He said that the proposal by the Virginia Jockey Club to locate a track in Prince William County near Haymarket would bring 1,500 jobs to the area. When asked if that would have any effect on Rappahannock, Mr. McCarthy said, “Whenever jobs are brought closer to Rappahannock, a percentage of people are willing to live in Rappahannock to commute to those jobs.” The state racing commisslbn will select one site for a race track. Several other proposed sites are far from Rappahannock. The supervisors agreed to advertise an amendment to the zoning ordinance banning sludge. The Planning Commission will consider the amendment August 18. They also approved a special exception for a subdivision. Paul and Martha Henze had applied to split their 107-acre property, cutting off 14 acres to be used for a private library, leaving 93 acres. The appro-, val depends on a restriction on the deed to the 93 acres, noting that its subdivision potential is affected by this division. * They agreed to, appropriate $10,585 from drug forfeiture fundsto purchase a car to be used by DARE officer Jeff Brown. The supervisors reappointed Werner Krebser to the Planning Commission representing Wakefield District and appointed F. D. Coffey for a two-year term to the Water and Sewer Authority to replace Jimmy Swindler Jr., who resigned^ after last week’s meeting. « The supervisors met in executive session to discuss “the acquisition n...of property for public purposes.* They took no action following the executive session but agreed to meet again Tuesday August 17 at 7 p.m.' to consider the same issue.

Morris continues his recovery from an accidental gunshot wound, State Police spokeswoman Lucy Caldwell said this week. The 40-year-old trooper, who is a resident of Fauquier County, is one of two sergeants who supervise the troopers assigned to Rappahannock and Fauquier counties. Ms. Caldwell said he was transferred July 28 from Fairfax Hospital to the Mount Vernon Orthopedic Rehabilitation Hospital in Alexandria. At Mount Vernon, Ms. Caldwell said, Morris will begin a period of intensive rehabilitation to recover from the serious bullet wound. She said that Morris will remain hospitalized for some time to allow the greatest benefit from the intensive physical therapy regimen. Moiris was injured July 19 during a tactical team training exercise outside Chester Gap. He was appar ently struck by a 10mm bullet, which entered his left side above the hip and travelled upward, lodging against his spine between two vertebrae. Doctors at Fairfax Hospital successfully removed the bullet during more than seven hours of emergency surgery following the shooting, but they were unable to save his left kid*: ney: Ms. Caldwell reported that Morris continues to have good movement and sensation in both his legs, and said his condition is im* proving. She said doctors had not yet offered a timetable for his return to work.

It accma unlikely that adult* would gather to watch and liaten to wooden dolla, controlled hy atringa, perform a grand opera. But in magical Salzburg that'a exactly what haa been going on for 80 year*. The performance* of the Salzburg Marionette Theater are ao popular that the 360 aeat theater ia almoat alwaya packed with eager muaic loving fan* who are thrilled by the delightful artiatic experience. Founded in 1913 by Anton Aicher, and atill operated today by hia grandchildren, the marionette theater ia one of the proudeat tradition* of the town. The company1* Lilliputian wooden figure*, each exquiaitely carved and clothed, have traveled the world with their human altar-egoa. Through the year* they have played to a total foreign audience of over two million people in thirty nation*. Anton Aicher waa a aculptor by profeaaion who grew up in the late Nineteenth Century - a time when traveling troupe* of puppeteer* entertained throughout Auatria and many of the royal court* had reaident performer*. In purauit of hia dream to create hia own marionette theater, Anton traveled to Munich where he etudied the art of marionette making and manipulation. He eoon deviled hie own method of conitructing the wooden figurea ao that they were capable of humanlike movement (Marionettea, aa diatinguiahed from other puppeta are atring-controlled from overhead). With help from hia family and frienda, Aicher built hia firat atage. On February 25, 1915, the Salzburg Marionette Theater made ita public debut with a abort opera about a pair of out-of-aorta lovera and a helpful town aorcerer. Thia opera waa ao aucceaaful that the Aichera turned their hobby into a profeaeion and rented a large hall where they played for almoat half a century. The family, which formed the heart of the troupe, crafted, coaturned and manipulated the puppeta alao deaigned their atage. In 1926, Aicher paaaed control of the theater on to hia youngeat aon Hermann. Under hia guidance the troupe began to tour Europe. Although they were extremely popular and won numeroua awarda for their productiona, even garnering a firat-place medal at the 1937 World Exhibition in Paria, it waa not until the 1960'a that the company waa finally on firm financial footing. In 1952 the Salzburg Marionette Theater brought to their theater atage, what haa become their aignature piece - Moeart'a Magic Flute. This remain* a crowning achievement; in no season, on no tour, ia it absent. For the production several new innovations which were to change the whole look of the com* pany were introduced. A revolving stage with a bridge above and across it was developed where the manipulators would stand. This innovation has keen incorporated into all productions since, with the result that all of the imaginative sets now display much greater depth. Perhaps the most important change occurred in the performances themselves. Instead of relying upon the musical abilities of the Aicher family to provide the singing voices as well as the musical accompaniments for the various productions, tape recorded music as well as recorded voices were introduced. This greatly increased the range of operas which could be presented. Since the introduction of the Magic Flute the company has become known for their interpretations of Mozart's major works, Don Giovanni, Abduction from the Seraglio, The Marriage of Figaro and finally, with its premiere in 1991, Cosi Fan Tutte. Fortunately for its admirers, the Salzburg Marionette Theater continues to crisscross the globe on tours. In 1988 the company, now under the direction of Anton's granddaughter, traveled to the United States and played to sold-out houses around the coun try. Yet another eucoeeaful tour waa held in 1991 - the bicentennial year of Moaart'i death. Still, to eee thia unique art form in ita home theater in Salzburg ia a apecial treat, for the aetting ia aa magical aa arc the marionettea. One of the most popular attractions for music lovers in Salzburg is the Salzburg Marionette Theater.

Ancient Art Still Thrives By FRANCES BISHOPP Rappahannock News Staff Writer Some view it as controversial, even dangerous, others as the most natural way on earth to experience one of life’s most important rites of passage. Whatever your beliefs, midwifery, despite a long history of persecution, has been practiced since the beginning of time and continues to be practiced today. The need for midwives frequently is created by the community. Women seek them out as a viable option to having their babies in a hospital where the environment, they say. is often cold, clinical and terrifying. While there is no question that the sophisticated equipment and skills found only in a hospital are necessary, lifesaving in some situations, there are those who believe that a number of births can be successfully accomplished at home where the woman, under the care of an experienced midwife, can have her baby naturally, in surroundings that induce trust and confidence rather than fear and alienation. Martha Hughes and Sheila Simms Watson are both traditional mid wives who between them have delivered more than 200 babies in the last eight years. Both women live in Rappahannock County, but travel far beyond the county limits to administer to clients who have made.the choice to have their babies at home. Ms. Hughes, who has delivered 157 babies since she began practicing eight years ago, -spent a considerable amount of time as an apprentice before she launched out on her own. According to Ms. Hughes and Ms. Watson, who has been practicing for three years ami has delivered 47 babies, this is normal procedure. “I don’t deliver these babies,” Mrs. Hughes pointed out. “I am there to help the mother deliver her own baby.” “Giying birth is an incredibly empowering experience for a woman,” she continued. “We are therp to educate the mothers, from the Very first visit to well after the B^by is born.” “We not only educate our clients on every aspect of their pregnancy, we teach them exactly what to expect when their time comes,” she said. The education begins when the woman who has decided on a homebirth visits the midwife for the first time. On the first visit, the client is thoroughly examined and all aspects of the pregnancy are discussed. At 30 weeks, the visits go to once every two weeks and the last month, every week. During the last month, the midwife visits the client’s home to make sure, first of all, she knows how to get there and to check out the home environment to see that it is properly prepared for the birth. It is during the months preceding the birth that the midwife and her client not only exchange information about the pregnancy, but spend a tremendous amount of time getting to know one another. It is this process of building friendship and trust that becomes the pivotal element when the birth actually occurs. Ms. Watson explained that during this time they get to know their clients, not just their blood pressure or how much weight they’ve gained, but what is going on in their lives. “The time we spend together, which is usually about two hours every visit, builds the trust that will be so important when the time comes,” she explained. "It you get to that spot, say right before the baby is born, when things get tough, if the woman feels safe and trusts you, she is able to do exactly what you tell her,” she added. “It makes all the difference.” Rappahannock resident Evelyn Oyster agrees. Five months pregnant with her sixth child, Mrs. Oyster, who has had two hospital births, the first a ceasarean, delivered her fifth child with Ms. Hughes and plans to deliver her sixth as well. "I prefer midwifery because in hospitals there is a huge fear factor,” said Mrs. Oyster. “At home, it is peaceful and there is a safe feeling that cannot be duplicated in a hospital.” "Martha knows me and my family, she knows the stresses I might be under at certain times that might affect me physically. I know she cares about me," she said. Mrs. Oyster also maintains that by following Ms. Hughes’ regimen, she has avoided the toxemia'she was plagued with during her third pregnancy. “Both of my pregnancies with Martha have been the healthiest I have ever had and the happiest," she said. A homebirth involves, not only the mother and the midwife, but the entire family. The father is encouraged to be there and many times catches the baby when it is born. Both Ms. Hughes and Ms. Watson are convinced that home delivery with a competent midwife is safer than a hospital delivery. “In the Netherlands, two thirds of all babies are born at home with midwives,” said Ms. Hughes, “and they have the third lowest infant mortality rate in the world.” “We rely on traditional tools such as storytelling, nourishment, our hands, water and intuition,” she explained. “Patience, time and non-intervention are the midwives most valuable tools.” “Some people have said to me that for me to use a midwife is not very smart,” said Mrs. Oyster. “I have had a C-section, toxemia and I am over 35.” “But,” she continued, “it is my choice. I trust Martha and God and I want the natural way.”

Two brothers entered the watermelon business. They bought a truck and loaded it with watermelons. They paid $1.00 each for the melons, drove into the city, and sold the melons for $1.00 each. Business was booming, but they finally discovered they were making no profit They had a meeting and decided the solution to their profit problem was to buy a bigger truck! They were guided more by passion for the product than wisdom of profit. Often the paaSnn to produce - to succeed at whatever cost - blinds us to the reality that life is not measured by VOLUME but by VALUE; that profit in life cannot be measured by what is gained, but by what is paid and what is lost in the process. Jesus said it centuries ago: “What does it profit a man if he should gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” (Matt 16:26). He indicated that volume is not a criterion for Even the volume of gaining the whole world is too small a gain to pay one’s soul for. Copyright 1993. Keister-Williams Newspaper Services. P.

Garden Club Members Enjoy Blandy Farm Visit By HLLBIN PLATT Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Members of the Rappahannock County Garden Club enjoyed a visit to the Blandy Experimental Farm near Boyce, Virginia for their regular meeting on July 21. Blandy Farm is a research center of the University of Virginia and includes 150 acres that were declared the State Arboretum of Virginia in 1986 by the General Assembly. The plantings include mature stands of many native and exotic trees. The arboretum is open to the public, admission free, every day of the year from dawn to dusk.Club members were enthusiastic over the many gardens and surrounded Docents Susanna Lockley and Beverly Larson who escorted the group around the grounds. Many questions were asked about plant identification, where plants could be obtained, and the growing conditions required. The raised herb garden delighted many and everyone lingered over the perennial and na tive plant beds. At noon the club members gathered in the Blandy library to enjoy box lunches which had been brought from Washington by hostesses Marian White and Ellie Kreamer. During the business meeting, conducted by President Helen Brown, the club voted to finance the purchase of additional seed so the VDOT may extend the planting of flowers in the median of Route 211 at Washington. Club member Betty Wood has been recognized for accumulating the most points in both exhibit categories during the past year. Christine Johnston, Chairman of Exhibits and Judging, pointed out that it is quite unusual for one person to be first-'in artistic arrangements and also in exhibiting horticulture specimens. When the meeting adjourned club member were invited to stay and explore the grounds at leisure and to visit the gift shop.
