Council member Ray Gooch, obviously distraught, brought up the issue which led to the decision to investigate. He said, “I do not think I was the only person disheartened in the last couple of months. There were anonymous mailings. I think we deserve better, and I feel the integrity of the government of this town has been seriously undermined.” Mr. Gooch said that he contacted the office of the State Board of Elections in Richmond to discuss the situation. The Virginia Code says anyone distributing campaign material must identify who it is from, and Mr. Gooch said that the anonymous mailings did not give the name of the accuser. Mr. Gooch continued, “We need to put people on notice that this is not acceptable.” He said that he is not looking to send anyone to jail or fine anyone, but feels that the town residents have a right to know. He said that his main reason is that an investigation will hopefully put a stop to this in the future. Council member Newbill Miller said, “The election is over. We do not need to perpetuate the upheaval in the town of Washington.” Mayor Dean Morehouse said, “I was disappointed in some of the materials that were sent around. I think it needs to be fairly examined. People need to be responsible for their actions. — Mayor Morehouse, Mr. Gooch, Susan Parrish and Brad Fisher voted for the motion; Janice Moffett and Mark Bailey abstained; and Mr. Miller voted against it. Doris Critzer, who had unsuccessfully run in the last Town Council election, said, “What about the rumors spread door to door? I did not find it funny either.” Charles Eldred said, “I would like to applaude Ray Gooch’s motion and the council's action. I find it shocking that those who voted against this had promised to uphold the laws of the commonwealth, as See Council, Page A-8 i- • 1 ■1 Old Rag Bulletins Emergency Tests — * The school system will be running - ^ - tests of emergency response procedures next week.

Budget Study Proceeds With Little Change By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer At Monday night’s work session on the county budget discussion ranged over a wide variety of subjects, but the budget was left basically unchanged. The Board of Supervisors reviewed the budgets of the constitutional officers, Commissioner of Revenue, Treasurer, Commonwealth’s Attorney and Sheriff, as well as the budgets of the jail, extension service, court clerks, fire and rescue services, Electoral Board and registrar. The supervisors also looked at the budget for their own board and agreed that Chairman Hubert Gilkey and vice chairman Charles K. ‘Tete” Estes would negotiate with County Administrator John McCarthy on his new contract. Home Economics Agent Helen Smith reported that conversations with the administration of the extension service indicate that the position of agricultural agent will be advertised in the fall, and it will probably be the first of January before the position is filled. Hampton District representative Mike Massie said that since he had raised the issue, he had received overwhelming support for the extension office. He asked whether it makes sense to renegotiate a contract to continue renting the current space if the county has only one agent. He noted that the office space is not accessible to the handicaDDed. \ ' Mrs. Smith and Mr. McCarthy said that the conference room in the extension office is used by several other county agencies. Mr. McCarthy said the county could not start now to lease space without handicapped access, but that such a space is allowed if the county is extending a lease. Mrs. Smith said some people use the doorbell downstairs and the agents can come down and serve the public. Commissioner of Revenue Beverly Atkins reported that many people failed to file personal property taxes. In former years filing personal property was required by the same date as purchasing county stickers for automobiles. This year county stickers were due by April 15, but property taxes didn’t have to be filed until the end of the month. She said she would need additional postage to pay for sending out notices that the personal property taxes must be filed and that there is a 10 percent fine for filing late. Before this year Treasurer Frances Foster would not issue county stickers unless registration forms were stamped indicating that personal property forms had been filed. Sheriff John Henry Woodward said it was illegal to link the two, but that did not mean that people didn’t have to file personal property. Ms. Atkins said some people simply forgot, but some thought they could get away with not filing. Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham asked Ms. Atkins is she had information on the amount of land value that is exempt under the land use taxation program. He said he wanted a note in the budget to show the amount. Sonewalll-Hawthom District representative Robert Anderson said he didn’t approve including such an item in the budget since it is not a budget item. Mr. Massie said, “As hard as we look at expenses, it’s only fair to address not just expenses but how we raise the money.” He said that while the Planning Commission is reviewing the Comprehensive Plan, it is a good time to look at the land^use program. Mr. Anderson said, “If we got out of land use, See Budget, Page A-8 I__ , Lions' Auction Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Auctioneer Bill Payne helped the Lions’ Club raise $2,482 for county service projects at the annual auction at the Washington Fire Hall Saturday. J First Round in Sludge Suit Held By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The county suffered a mild setback in a preliminary round in the sludge suit before retired judge Jushua Robinson in the courthouse earlier this month, but that result was expected. George Gilliam, representing the county had filed demurrers, seeking to have the remaining counts against the county dismissed. John Foote, representing the four landowners that filed as plaintiffs, successfully argued that the demurrers weren’t sufficient to have the counts thrown out. “We would have preferred it if the court had thrown it all out,” County Administrator John McCarthy said earlier this week. “But nine times out of ten the judge says go ahead with the trial.” Judge Robinson, from Luray, is hearing the case because all the judges in the 20th Judicial Circuit, who normally hears cases in Rappahannock, Fauquier and Loudoun counties, withdrew from hearing the case because a woman who works for the court in Warrenton is related to one of the plaintiffs. Following his denial of the demurrers, Judge Robinson set September 20 as the date to complete discovery in the case and October 28 for “cross motions and summary judgments and other dispositive motions.” He scheduled Monday December 5 as the date to hear “arguments on dispositive motions.” The case has been simplified somewhat. Only four counts remain of the 10 originally filed. The first claims the action of the Board of Supervisors in amending the zoning ordinance to ban the land application of sewage sludge is a violation of Virginia law and the county ordinances. The second claims the action is a violation of the Virginia Agricultural and Forestal Districts Act. The third claims that the plaintiffs have been denied Virginia “substantive due process,” and the fourth remaining count claims that Virginia law preempts county law. Mr. Gilliam had the opportunity to argue his side first. He said that in 49 introductory paragraphs the plaintiffs claim that the county “lacks the power to do what they did.” He said that changing law at both the federal and state level “recognizes the local interest in regulation.” Judge Robinson asked if Federal statutes “give local government authority to completely prohibit” the spreading of sludge. Mr. Gilliam said the county’s de fense team had been unable to find that but there are “repeated references to the necessity for local determination.” He said that state statutes and regulations also call for local involvement in the process. Mr. Gilliam said, a law passed in the most recent session of the General Assembly, that does not take effect until April 1, 1995, known as the “right to farm” law precludes localities from interfering with the production of agricultural products in agriculturally zoned land but specifically removes the above ground application of sewage sludge and processing of agricultural products from areas local governments are not allowed to regulate in zoning ordinances. Judge Robinson asked him, since the law is not yet in effect, if he was claiming that the new law “clarifies what the law has been all the time.” Mr. Gilliam said the thrust of the law is that the General Assembly does “not want local governments to put undue restrictions on agriculture in agricultural zones, but they included this language.” He said there is no indication the local government does not have the power to regulate “these sorts of activities.” “Our position is the board has See Suit, Page A-8

Tom Von Fange Is Making Tables Again By CINDY MAHAN **PP«h«nnock New» SUIT Writer After losing his workshop space to a fire on April 24, Tom von Fange has bounced back and is now set up temporarily in the Fletchers’ airplane hangar on Rt. 231, just a short distance from his former workshop. His business is named “Antique * Tables Made Daily”, “We only lost one day of work due to the fire,” said Kevin LeVan, ■ one of Mr. von Fange’s two employees who helps him with the woodworking. He said that all of the .paperwork burned up, including customers’ written orders. That meant that they didn’t know who had ordered what, customers’ phone numbers, or anything else. He said that eventually when customers began calling to find out |he status of their order and were told of the fire, every one was understanding about the situation. Mr. von Fange said that the fire Started around 2:30 a.m. He was awakened by multiple phone calls, which he didn’t answer, thinking they were prank calls. He finally answered and it was the Sheriffs Office telling him that his workshop was in flames. He said that after the fire was put out and the trucks had left, it started again in the front room of the building around 7:30 a.m. The trucks i Plans For !

Most of the woodworking machinery and tools were burned beyond repair in the fire, but “the 15,000 feet of heart pine from the Georgetown Visitation Catholic School was unharmed,” said Mr. von Fange. The wood had also survived a fire at that school. Mr. von Fange has received help from several sources since the fire. Mid-State Electric Co. was able to rebuild his shaper machine, which barely survived the fire. Kilby Electric in Culpeper wired the hangar for electricity, at no charge. And many other people from Rappahannock, Orange and Culpeper counties have helped in various ways. The hangar has been a wonderful temporary space for the woodshop. It is even large enough to hold 17foot pieces of cherry, besides all of the woodworking equipment. Unfortunately, black snakes also love the space. “We had to fight off a six foot black snake to get to the phone the other day. And this morning when we came in there was one hanging from the rafters,” said Mr. von Fange. Mr. von Fange recently purchased the old Teepee building on U.S. 211 in Sperryville as the site for his new woodworking shop. The building will be demolished next week, after a required asbestos inspection is made. Mr. yon Fange plans to build an authentic 19th century cabinetmaking shop, and hopes to have it in operation by July 1. “I look forward to being on U.S. 211 and having the building just the way I want it to be,” he said. The showroom on Main Street in Sperryville will remain in operation. - ,? ;.i -"*+*»* ,>*« - - si -c, ■ -v •>: ' ' Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Bill Cornwell, Tom von Fange and Kevin LeVan hold a 17-foot long cherry board in Mr. von Fange’s temporary shop in an airplane hangar off Route 231.

Absolutely not! What you see as a "Plain Jane," a new owner will see as a plain canvas ready to be painted as "Our New Home." The new owners have their own ideas for painting and decorating. They will probably also have mid ana long-term plans for upgrading the nouse. Many buyers will be enthusiastic ana excited about a "Plain Jane." Many prospective buyers like the conformity and the feeling of "neighborhoodness" that most development home communities offer. If your home is in reasonable Tepair with the outside neat and trimmed and the inside sparkling clean, it will receive a positive buyer response. Also, sale pricing is a lot simpler when most of the houses are so similar. This means there won't be a problem with over or underpricing it. Fear not, we've sold many.

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. / WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 1994 Editorial Increasing the Tax Base As Ron Frazier and Roger Cordani pointed out at ]the Board of Supervisors work session on the county budget Monday night, continual increases in the real estate tax rate are hard on some Rappahannock County citizens. Some way must be found to increase the tax base itself, they said. They wisely did not claim bringing in more people and houses is the way to do this. Whenever this debate comes up, some people immediately look to the value of land exempt from taxation through the land use tax system. Perhaps at the time of the next assessment, this can be modified, but any drastic change in the system is likely to be counter-productive, encouraging the conversion of farmland to houses, resulting in the need for higher taxes. i 1 Mr. Frazier said the county needs to encourage small, non-poluting businesses to move into the county. It’s hard to see how the county could do any more than it already does. The county has’no business taxes. It is apparently unique among Virginia counties in this respect. Some preliminary studies indicate it would cost more to collect some of the potential businesses taxes than they would produce in revenue. The state has attempted to require the county to charge merchants capital taxes and taxes on machinery and tools. So far the county has escaped this requirement. The most appealing tax would be one on meals and lodgings. This would fall primarily on tourists not county residents. However, for counties this requires an affirmative vote in a countywide referrendum. Nowhere in Virginia where this has been tried has it passed. We encourage the Board of Supervisors to look into the possibility of passing some sort of flat business license tax. We believe there are hundreds of small businesses in the county including farms and their taxes might save a penny or more on the tax rate and begin to halt the process of relying entirely on real estate taxes to fund county services. • A Battle of the Fountain* Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy M«hi Chris Bird and Mary Jane Capello’s Belgian draft mare Maggie nuzzles her newborn filly. Letters to the Editor ! Support Appreciated To the Editor: The Rappahannock Lions Club hereby, again, expresses appreciation to all individuals and/or businesses for their loyal support and generous contributions toward a successful Community Betterment Fund Raising Project—the 1994 Annual Benefit Auction. Gross proceeds realized were $2,482.12. All members, spouses and supporting friends are thanked for their unselfish and untiring extra efforts. Special thanks to Auctioneer Bill Payne and wife Mauri. Thanks to all, in whatever way involved, for another successfully completed Rappahannock Lions Club project. HUBERTS. GILKEY, III Chairman, 1994 Auction Committee Cancer Relay A Success To the Editor: The 1994 American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life fundraiser held at Airlie Conference Center in Warrenton on May 13 and 14 proved successful. Of the 18 teams participating, two were from Rappahannock County. The two teams were the Gay St. Walkers (county employees and cancer society board members) and Libbie’s Ladies. Together the two teams raised $2,797 which will be returned to Rappahannock County to assist cancer patients and support the educational programs conducted by the local chapter of the American Cancer Society. The first lap of the 24 hours Relay for Life was walked by cancer survivors. Mrs. Libbie Whorton and Ester Settle of Flint Hill, both cancer survivors, participated. At 9 p.m. luminarias—donated in memory of loved ones who had cancer—were lit the entire length of the relay track. It was a very touching and emotional part of the program for many in the audience. I think most of us have known someone—a family member, friend, co-worker, neighbor—who has died of cancer or is a cancer patient. On behalf of the local American Cancer Society, I thank all of my coworkers in county government and cancer society members who walked, the ladies in Flint Hill who walked and all the people and businesses in Rappahannock County who donated and sponsored a walker. We appreciate it very much. HELEN W. SMITH President, Rappahannock Unit of American Cancer Society Time To Move On To the Editor: Over the last two months of the election and post-election activities in Washington, Va., I have sometimes felt that it was twenty-five years ago and I was back in Vietnam wondering when the next mortar round would come in and whether it would be directed to me. Most of the candidates felt the same way. Some candidates were both perpetrators and targets. They and other people irt Town participated in passing rumors, repeating statements of innuendo, and generally distributing fallacies as if they were true. Sources remained anonymous, although not always. Some of the statements were directed to me. I chose to ignore them at the time they were presented and I choose to ignore them now. I believe that responding to such statements gives them credibility that they do not deserve. I further believe that in time truth will win out over what is false. With the completion of the campaign, I had hoped that the election shenanigans would end. There are indications, however, that they have not. This is both sad and disturbing. The Town cannot afford the continuation of animosity. Government Cannot be effective in such an atmosphere. The Town does not need its energy put into vendettas and payback for perceived abuses. We have better things to do. It is time for forgiveness. This is the time to move It is my hope that both the citizens of Washington and the Rappahannock News will support a better spirit. The past Town Councils have accomplished a great deal. I would like to build on those accomplishments. Dean Morehouse once told me that when he became mayor, he was only provided a small box of materials. Of course, he also had Brad Fisher. I may receive a bigger box of materials, but I will not have Brad Fisher. I hope both Dean and Brad will support us in the transition. As we approach the beginning of a new Council, I look to Ray Gooch, Newbill Miller and Janice Moffett to provide invaluable continuity. I am glad that our boards and commissions have the able leadership of Peter Skowronski, Donna Kevis and Susan Parrish. I hope Mark Bailey will continue to participate in government. And, of course, I will look to the counsel and support of Frank Reynolds and John McCarthy. I further hope that the entire Town will vigorously and constructively participate in government. I urge the townspeople, as well as the entire Rappahannock community, to provide a critical presence at our meetings. I hope that they will phone me or stop me on the street and express their views. We have become a nice Town to visit, but not a nice town in which to live. We need to devote our energies to correcting the latter image. I I want to work toward that goal and will need everyone’s help in assuring success. I look forward to a restored spirit of cooperation and friendship among the people of Washington and to serving with the Town Council for the next four years. STEWART WILLIS Mayor Elect, Washington i Disney Sprawl Not Needed To the Editor: Dan Ritchie’s rambling pro-Disney, pro-sprawl letter in your May 11 issue demands brief rebuttal on four points. First, urban sprawl has not been “part of civilization for thousands of years.” Urban sprawl is a postWorld War II American phenomenon. For example, England and > New England are both 50 million t acres, but with a population four times that of New England (50 percent urbanized) England is only 20 percent urbanized. To compete internationally in the 21st century, th$ U.S. must return to more efficient patterns and densities of urban land use. ' Second, a new Edge City at Haymarket would not help to fill underutilized space closer to D.C., but would rather add to underutilization problems. Third, in terms of net effect, Disney’s America would not “spin off” tourists to other attrractions, but—as indicated by several studies including one recently released by Colonial Williamsburg— would “suck away” from existing attractions. Finally, the Disney debate is not about whether new jobs are needed but about where new jobs are needed. Personally, I hope Mr. Ritchie remains in Maryland. We already have more than enough muddled thinkers in Virginia. ROBERT T.

North's Supporters Are Loyal ny jun« wuLKltK Will a majority of delegates to the Virginia Republican Convention in June take the risk of disregarding consistent polls that show senatorial aspirant Oliver North losing to nearly every potential opponent? Chances are they will, although Jim Miller, who is challenging North for the nomination, is waging a vigorous campaign and has been buoyed by polls showing him running ahead of incumbent senator Charles S. Robb and other possible Democratic nominees. North’s hard-core strength comes from the religious right and most of those who support him are prepared to stay the course no matter what the polls say. In fact, such supporters tend to scoff at polls, pointing out that when George Allen was nominated for governor more than a year ago his standing in polls was far worse than that of North, yet he won a landslide victory over Democrat Mary Sue Terry. Official spokespersons for the North campaign note that he has proven in the past that when people get to see him on television and listen to his message, he is a powerful force who can move people in his direction. That was certainly true when North, then an obscure Marine lieutenant colonel, appeared before the congressional Iran-Contra Commit Virginia Through , Both Barrels tee. Testifying before the committee clad in his Marine dress uniform, North created a nationwide sensation as thousands of Americans called media and members of Congress in his defense. But that was when North was an unknown. Normally one of the most precious commodities any politician can possess is name recognition. Yet in North’s case he has practically 100 percent name recognition, yet does not do well in the polls, a clear indication that most of those who know North and his record do not at the present time approve of his candidacy for the Senate. It is certainly possible for a North campaign to change the minds of people, but he will have to go against the usual political campaign grain which consists of getting voters to know who you are and deciding you deserve their support. George Allen was largely unknown when his campaign started, but he was able to persuade voters that he was a likeable person who would do a better job on their behalf than Mary Sue Terry. North, by contract, will have to overcome what has become a negative impression on the part of most Virginians and somehow turn it around. If his Democratic opponent is Robb, North will get some help from the fact the Robb’s flawed personal life has also left him in the position of being regarded negatively by most Virginians. And there is the very real prospect of the two major political parties fielding candidates for U.S. Senate who start out being regarded negatively by most Virginians. Miller’s greatest asset is that he has few negatives and polls show him winning and North losing. But he faces the daunting task of trying to convert to his cause hundreds of delegates who are North loyalists and are unlikely to change despite what the polls say. They are basically non-political types who don’t care much about polls or arguments that for the sake of pragmatism they should support Miller. To them the cuase is everything and even more important than victory in November. (Editor’s Note: John Goolrick, a former political reporter, is now an aide to 1st District Rep. Herbert Bateman. Opinions expressed are his own.) , Non-Producing Cow Is Costly By JACK DUNFORD Extension Agent, Farm Management This winter I was asked the question, “Should I sell my open beef cow or hold her over, giving her another chance to calve next year?” With feeder cattle prices beginning to weaken and predicted to gradually fall for the next three-tofour years, it is important that feeder cattle producers make management decisions that will improve their net income. Being a Farm Management Agent, I computed an extensive five-year net income stream for five scenarios including the tax implications of selling the open cow and/or purchasing a replacement. There are too many numbers to include in this article, but let me summarize the results for five possible management decisions covering a five-year period: 1. The cow calves normally every year; $885 of net income. 2. An open cow is allowed to “skip a year”; $503 of net income. 3. The open cow is rebred to calve in another calving season; ie, moved from spring to fall group; $492 of net income plus a 200 pound calf still nursing the cow at the period. 4. Sell the open cow and buy a I bred heifer; $573 of net income. 5. Sell the open cow and don’t replace her; $495 of net income. It is apparent that any alternate to having a cow producing a calf every year is a costly option. Alternative number three, moving the cow to another calving gorup, may work in larger herds. With that alternative only three-to-six months of income is lost. Replacing the open cow (alternative 4) also tends to maximize returns and, at the same time, results in a younger more productive cow at the end of the five year period. These estimates may not reflect the actual net-income stream on your farm, but the herds will likely be the same. As profit margins begin to narrow over the next few years, this and other important management decision will help you remain competitive in the feeder cattle business. A more thorough explanation of this open cow question should be available soon in the farm press. I will be available to Rappahannock County farmers and landowners each Thursday morning during May and June. Please call the Rappahannock Extension Office for assistance and/or an appointment regarding your agricultural concerns. Extension Master Gardeners are available Monday, Tuesday and Friday mornings and Wednesday afternoon for your gardening/horticultural questions.

Inn Provides 'Boy Scout' Fare At New York Dinner for Beard As the recipient of the James Beard Foundation’s Restaurant of the Year Award in 1993, The Inn at Little Washington was invited to create a 91st birthday celebration honoring the late James Beard at his home in New York City on April 27. Nine of The Inn’s staff made the journey to help create the benefit event which featured as it’s theme: “A Banquet in Shenandoah National Park.” This involved transforming a New York townhouse into a forest complete with trail signs, trees and a menagerie of stuffed animals—deer, bear, beavers, birds, etc., all loaned for the occasion by Richard Morris of Front Royal Taxidermy. The menu was inspired by Boy Scout campfire cookery. As a former scout’ The Inn’s Chef and co-owner, Patrick O’Connell credits earning his cooking merit badge with influencing his career choice. The considerable challenge was to transform classic campfire recipes l. into elegant and sumptuous fare worthy of $125 a plate. Under a canopy of birch branches lit with white lanterns, the guests dined on camouglage tablecloths with neckerchief napkins tied with square knots while sipping wine poured from canteens as the stuffed animals looked on. Lori Blanton, the Inn’s florist, composed bouquests of wild flowers in tin cans tied with jute and massive sprays of lilacs in knapsacks. A gaint black bear in a sleeping bag rocked in a hammock above the party. Rappahannock morels were presented in “pup tents pastries” with Prince Michel Vineyards Virginia Champagne, graciously donated by the winery. A first course of native Rockfish raised by Ken Hyde in Warrenton was baked in tinfoil with sauteme butter and fresh tarragon, followed by a bonfire of local asparagus from Marta Irmen’s and Butch Eastham’s gardens combined with tiny crayfish tails and foie gras with matchsticks of toast. Organic rabbits raised by Elizabeth Pierson were served barbequed with baked beans and cole slaw. After a “Rhubarb Jamboree” for dessert, miniature Vmores” composed of homemade marshmallows roasted and sandwiched between homemade graham crackers dipped in French chocolate were offered with Virginia “White Lightning”—the new legal com liquor from Culpeper, ending the eve ning on a high note. Executive Sous Chef, David Shannon, Sous Chefs Bonnie Moore and Jeff Waite, The Inn’s Manager, Tom Petot, Wine Steward Jose Roman, and David Gedney and Amy Dencler all received a standing ovation from the sold out house and then went out to dinner themselves at a trendy late night New York eatery after the party.

A BETTER DEAL —^GOOD CARS/GOOD FOLKS Stampede to WoodviUe Is Useful Learning Experience By BONNIE PRICE LOFTON Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer It seemed like a good idea at the time: Uncle Buck’s pasture had been grazed clean, while the adjoining acres around my parents’ house needed mowing desperately. Why not move Uncle Buck’s horses to the yard to do a little trimming for us? Mom was skeptical. The old locust fence around her house was falling down, and what about her flower beds? “We’ll watch the horses from the porch,” I chirped. “But I’m sure they’ll stick to your grass. It’s so thick and lush—why would they want to be anywhere else?” The seven horses—four mares, one gelding and two fillies— played their parts perfectly for the first 45 minutes or so. They tackled my parents’ lawn with gusto, munching as if they hadn’t seen fresh grass in years. By and by, I went inside to make dinner while Mom headed to a playset to entertain my two young children. I had just put some potatoes in boiling water when I heard Mom yell: “The horses are gone! Somebody left the driveway gate open.” That somebody was me. I had carefully shifted the horses into my parents’ yard, closed the gate, and then belatedly decided to drive to my uncle’s bam for something or other. On that last trip, I hadn’t closed the gate. Force of habit. It’s simply a gate that almost always stands open. I jumped in Dad’s old pick-up and thundered 100 yards down the rutted driveway to Route 522. Nothing. No horses in the woods fronting the highway or in the grass across the way. What a relief! The horses must have headed the opposite direction, through a back gate leading to Bessie Bell mountain. I spun Dad’s pick-up around and came face-to-face with a friend, Kim Bonser, in his pick-up. “Your horses are ip Woodville,” Mr. Bonser said grimly. He took the lead, and we raced north on 522, passing two mature women standing incongruously at the edge of the highway. I recognized Mildred and Irene Timbers, our closest neighbors, pointing towards Woodville. i Later, I learned that one of these sisters had been driving south on 522 when our seven horses appeared on the crest of a hill just before her driveway. They stampeded by her car, urged on by a white truck with a honking horn. Mildred Timbers phoned my dad, who couldn’t think of what to say except, “Stop those horses!” Given that the moment for such heroics had passed, the ladies did second best: They stopped humans, or at least slowed them down.” Mr. Bonser and I screeched to a halt in front of Burke’s Grocery, over a mile from my parents’ house. “Have you seen any stray horses?” I yelled to three young fellows sitting in a pick-up truck. They motioned laconically behind the store, and there were the horses, stomping around in Richie Burke’s back yard, hemmed in by his house on one side and somebody’s pasture fence on two sides. Mr. Bonser and I had no halters, no rope and no horse experience. The Foushees, who live above Burke’s Grocery, produced a bunch of carrots, which a few of the horses nervously ate before they pulled away from us. Somebody handed Mr. Bonser string, which he tried to loop around a couple of the horses’ necks. But the string wouldn’t have led a kitten, much less these skittish beasts. I could think of only one possibility: somehow herd them to a nearby fenced pastime owned by Trish and Bob Darby, then figure out what to do. Mom appeared bearing several halters and lead ropes. I dialed the Darbys from the Foushees’ portable phone and got their housekeeper. “I’m sorry, the Darbys are dining right now,” she said. “Can I take a message?” Which reminded me of the potatoes I had left boiling. Was my parents’ house burning down? No, my father had turned off the stove. Moments after they got my message, the Darbys were no longer enjoying their food—they were out with the rest of Woodville, sweating on Route 522. Despite the help of several residents, Mr. Bonser and I couldn’t lead the horses—even the ones who were usually as peaceful as lap dogs. They reared and pivoted like rodeo broncos, leaving rope burns in our hands and hoof marks on our feet. They were wild from fear and excitement. They charged back to 522, racing along the Darby property toward Culpeper. This time, however, a fifth of a mile away, they were blocked by a row of stopped vehicles. (To the unknown people who threw up impromptu roadblocks: Thank you!) Bob Darby came down his driveway in a truck, jumped out and began to wave his arms to push the horses towards me, where a tractor-trailer had come to stop in front of a gate to the Darby pasture. “Sir,” I yelled to the truck driver. “I need to get those horses through this gate. Could you back up and block the road behind me?” And so the horses made it into the Darby cow pastime. I pumped the Darbys’ hands to thank them and said idiotically, “How was dinner?” A semi-circle of people gathered around as I wracked my head for solutions. j Mr. Bonser suggested getting the sheriffs office to block the highway while we ran the horses back the way they came. But it was nearly dusk, and we had already held up half the county from getting home in time for a warm meal. Besides, what if the horses veered off the highway into one of the unfenced properties between here and there? And, finally, I had no idea where the horses were at the moment—they had disappeared into the far distance of the Darby’s massive pasture. “Would you like the horses to stay here and calm down overnight while you think of how to move them?” asked Mr. Darby. Would I ever! Back at the Price house (I think Dad had dined on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich by then), I reached Moody Aylor, who has handled horses professionally for more than 30 years. “Can you bring a horse trailer tomorrow morning and help me get these horses back into my uncle’s pasture?” I pleaded. It wasn’t an easy job, even for this veteran, with an assistant and me helping him. The two fillies had never been halter-broken, much less loaded in a horse trailer. “Generally speaking, this is not the preferred way to train a horse,” Mr. Aylor said wryly. Never mind the details. Mr. Aylor rose to the challenge, but it took four hours and a lot of grunting. On the last of four trips pulling his two-horse trailer, Mr. Aylor assured me that he had seen worse situations: “At least none of these horses fell and got wedged between the walls of the trailer.” I thought that sunny tidbit would make Uncle Buck feel a whole lot better about me and his horses, so I passed it along. His reaction? Let’s just say that it's a good thing we’re blood kin. 3&appaf)annotb Jietos gift subscriptions are enjoyed 52 weeks a year. Call 675-3349 to give one.

T-Ball Game Reported By LARRY OLIVER Rappahannock Neva Contributinf Writer It was a fascinating game on Sat-„ urday when the Early’s Carpet Tigers played against the Washington Yankees. Rev. Tom Everett coaches the Tigers. It’s great to watch these little Tballers play. The Tigers were G-RReat in their 21-14 win over the Yankees. Defense was the name of the game for the Amissville Tigers in their victory. Five-year-old Tiger Nicholas Raiford rifled two throws from third base to first like a major leaguer, resulting in outs. Veteran Tiger Brett Henry contributed on offence with two homeruns, while on defense, he fielded throws from his first base position. The Yankees ninth batter nearly scored a homerun after smashing the ball deep into center field. However, the run was denied when Tiger catcher Joshua Everett received the relayed ball and made a tag out at home plate! Team effort and good sportsmanship on the part of both teams made for a great afternoon of baseball! RAA welcomes the community to come out and watch these exciting games. (Editor's Note: Mr. Oliver is the assistant coach for the Early’s Carpet Tigers.) ; m \ a Career Day / Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Public Health nurse Marion Sharp talks with Cindy McCutcheon and Cricket Dye about careers in nursing during career day at RCHS last Thurday.

Literacy Group Gets Grant By LEE BIRD RaiVahannock New* Contributing Writer LVA Rappahannock the County’s literacy group, has received word from 7-Eleven Stores that it has been awarded a grant of $1,500 in their “People Who Read Achieve” program. It is the third such grant that LVA Rappahannock has been given by 7-Eleven Stores in as many years. The two previous grants, plus generous donations by members of the community, have enabled the literacy organization to purchase two computers, a printer, and associated instructional material. With the new funds, the organization plans to acquire additional teaching equipment and material, so that the traditional instruction by books can be expanded to include computer, audio, and video training. The literacy office is located in the basement of the County Library. Learners who are preparing for their GED exams, and others, meet there at 7 p.m. on Monday and Wednesday and from time to time during the week by appointment with their tutors. LVA Rappahannock’s plans for the coming year are threefold. First, we want to enhance our existing programs of basic and GED instruction by incorporating the use of interactive, technical teaching aids. Second, we propose to continue a Family Literacy program, in cooperation with the county library this summer, to encouraged parents to read with their pre-school children so as to prepare them to enter school with a positive attitude and a good chance of success. We hope that some of the parents in the program will come to us for help in improving their own reading skills. Finally, we think that there are some tradesmen, equipment operators, and the like, who though skilled in their respective trades, are unable to meet applicable licensure requirements because of their inability to read well. We intend to obtain the necessary codes and technical manuals as teaching tools to help such people achieve their specific technical goals.

Mr. Foote said, “All of what Mr. Gilliam has said is interesting but not relevant to what we are doing today.” He said his clients claim that the action of the Board of Supervisors was “arbitrary, capricious and unreasonable,” and that he was prepared to present evidence to prove that but not at a hearing on demurrers. He said the action of the Board of Supervisors was not based on “any credible scientific evidence.” He said that on the issue of due process, he should not have to argue that the supervisors action is “confiscatory” if he can show it is “so beyond reason as to be unsustainable.” He said that the Agricultural and Forestal District Act says a local governing body cannot pass laws “in a manner that unreasonably restricts” farming in such areas unless they can show a “direct relation to the public health and safety.” He said he agreed that Virginia law allows the county to regulate the application of sludge but not to ban it entirely. Judge Robinson ruled “the bill of complaint is sufficient to withstand demurrer.” The plaintiffs have also filed suit in federal court. That case is preceding in Charlottesville at the same time as the state suit in county court. ►Budget - / From Pace A-l taxes would be reduced for a while until we have a challenge to the zoning ordinance and its 25-acre lots. How are you going to defend it but by raising taxes? Theoretically we lose. The population density will increase and well have to build new schools. Where will you get the money for that but to raise taxes? We will need more law enforcement. That’s all you need for urban sprawl to come to Rappahannock County... Cows don’t ride school buses.” Col. Bingham said he favored studying the issue. “Fifty-eight percent of the land in land use is owned by out of county investors. We’re just giving them a free ride. I don’t see people lined up to move in. Growth is the direct result of population expansion and eventually it has to come this way. 1 think we have many years to go, but it appears to me we’re taxing some of our older people right out of their houses.” Ron Frazier said, “If you listen to anyone in Northern Virginia, they / will tell you houses don/t pay for themselves, but that’s what we’re doing. You’re going to have to look at some way to increase the tax base...bring small non-poluting businesses into the community.” Koger Lordani saia womng people are being taxed out of their homes. “We’re making less money but paying more taxes,” he said. Mr. Gilkey said much of that is because of state and federal mandates. “The state doesn’t want to raise taxes,” he said. “The federal government doesn’t want to raise taxes. It falls on us sitting around this table to raise taxes.” The board delayed making a decision on whether or not the budget will include a note giving the amount of land excused from taxes under the land use program. The sheriff said that he has received notice the state will pick up the cost of an additional deputy, but he said he still wanted the county to continue to pay for one deputy. “Investigating crime is taking up more and more time,” he said. The board approved a resolution to apply to borrow $1.4 million for the new cell at the landfill. Mr. McCarthy said that only begins the application process and doesn’t obligate the board to borrow the money. Mr. Massie amended the resolution to make it specify the board could not borrow money with out a public hearing. He also asked Mr. McCarthy to supply figures showing how Rappahannock compares to other counties - in how much tax funds are going to pay interest on debt and the amount of the debt as a percentage of the county’s budget. / ►Council From Page A-l members of Town Council. Treasurer Brad Fisher brought copies of the 1994-1995 proposed budget for the Town of Washington and the Washington Water Works. The council decided to hold a public hearing at the Town Hall at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 1 to discuss the budget. According to law, the hearing must be held at least seven days before the budget is passed, which may occur at the June 8 meeting of the Town Council. The budget must be passed, however, before July 1. The budget projection of $123,100 shows an increase in total income of $24,650. The bulk of this amount is a projected increase in the lodging and meals tax income of $21,800 over the 1994 budget projection. The expense budget is $121,750, an increase of $24,330 over last year’s. An increase in the capital expenses account of $15,000 for consulting and engineering (planning and design) makes up the majority of this figure. A request for $4,850 in the payroll account is another large part of this amount. The budget also requests $13,000 for the Fire Department, down from $16,070 last year. The only two increases for the Town of Washington Water Works are an extra $500 budgeted for electric power, and an increase of $350 for payroll. Mr. Fisher reported that he had talked with the VML insurance company about the insurance on the Town Hall. He was told that the town is covered for liability for outside groups. The insurance company will not disallow candles, but Mr. Fisher felt that the town should have some luminaries on hand, such as votives or covered candles. Diane Bruce said that the council should send a letter of thanks to Curtis Crawford, who has worked “beyond the call of duty” on the new water system while Ray Pullen has been out ill. Cl® **!£**.

Instead of speaking immediately, however, he flicked on a slide projector to show examples of buildings in J Rappahannock County raised by one or another Hawkins. Soon the audience began to murmur over what they were seeing. Everyone recognized building after building: Hampden Hall, the whitecolumned mansion that looks as if it were made from stone (it’s manmade blocks) on the south side of Route 211 at Massie’s Comer, the small brick tax office in little Washington; Spring Mountain School; Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church in Sperryville; the Sperryville Antique Market. There were at least two dozen examples in the slides-including old schools, farmhouses, churches and a planing mill—and Mr. McBride said ' there were many more throughout the county. “What’s so special about this family of builders was their continuity and integrity through many decades,” Mr. McBride said in an interview after his talk. “The changes in architecture, in technology and in the local economy were reflected in this family. They were like a microcosm. ” When the market for cattle and apples was booming in the early 1900s and local farmers had plenty of money to spare, they hired the Hawkins crew to put up the mansions of their dreams, said Mr. McBride. Hampden Hall, built for Mike Massie’s great-grandfather, was the product of those flush times, as were two other mansions in the county that can’t be seen from public roads. All were built before World War I. From the back, they looked like the huge farmhouses that they were, but their fronts boasted two-story white columns and balconies, j In the Depression years, the Hawkins buildings were decidedly pragmatic. After a tornado leveled much of Woodville in 1929, Charlie Hawkins built the Woodville Baptist Church, the houses on each side of the church, the brick house facing the church, and the old schoolhouse (now home to Raymond Johnson) on a hill to the west of the church. Photo courtesy of Bonnie Loftoot Rose Hill, built around 1870 has perpetually closed shut-^ ters. They are decorative only. Mr. McBride traced the Hawkins legacy to Mordecai Hawkins, who married Mary Anne Willis in 1832. She bore seven sons, most of whom became builders in the mid- to late 18008 and some of whom became fathers, uncles and grandfathers to men who kept up the family tradition in the early 1900s. Mr. McBride said that one of the earliest Hawkins buildings was Rose Hill, built right after the Civil War. Every driver on Route 211 has seen this red brick mansion with its white shutters, gracefully perched on the north side of the highway between Massie’s Comer and little Washington. For those who have wondered why the shutters on the ends of this house are never open, Mr. McBride has the answer: “There are no windows behind them.” They’re purely decorative fixtures, inset in the brick walls. Rose Hill is Mr. McBride’s favorite Hawkins house. It all comes together in Rose Hill, he said. The pleasing proportions, the careful workmanship. “I’ve never seen anything like the detailing in Rose Hill.” Many of the buildings raised by the three generations of Hawkinssuch as their most elegant creation, a 1931 stone Tudor mansion on the grounds of Communications Corporation of America in Boston, Va.cannot be seen from public roads. But those mentioned earlier in this article can be driven by, as can these: -The Hawkins Brothers mill, a 5,000-square-foot building built in 1924 for finishing lumber. It was' framed in chestnut and it housed huge steam engine for running their machinery. The gray-colored building can be seen from Route 522 when! the trees are bare. It’s on the left just before Blackwater Creek as one drives from Sperryville to Culpeper. The house on the same property, Thermopylae, was the homeplace of Charlie Hawkins until 1958. j-J -The brick addition-bay windows two stories high-to the origi-I nal stone house at Oak Forest, one; mile south of 522 on Route 621 outside Woodville. j -The Estes’ house in Sperryville, !at the comer with the caution light, behind the concrete traffic barrier. .■* -Susan and Rob Parrish’s yellowframe house in little Washington, on' Route 622, just behind the county health department. -The Viewtown home of Chris and Becky Parrish, which Mr. Me-; Bride calls “one of the finest examples of classic Hawkins homes.” It is a two-story, clapboard farmhouse with elaborate cornice work and lovely bay windows. Painted pale yellow, it is located on Route 729, one mile east of the intersection of 729 and 640. -In the southwest end of the county, two homes built in a style similar to the Chris Parrish house: the Buckner home, a white house with a red tin roof, on the east side of 231, two and a half miles south of the intersection with 522; and Belle Meade, a home undergoing extensive renovation on 231, six miles south of 522.

4 i r > i ? i 1 I Community News Obituaries * ' !j Rappahannock News •Real Estate • Classifieds WEDNESDAY, MAY 18,1994 Soccer Goes Four-Season and Continues to Grow Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Cindy Mahan Colin Nichols must see something awful do wnfield. i SHSS5H By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Newa Staff Writer More and more Rappahannock kids are becoming hooked on soccer. The Rappahannock Soccer Association, which began six years ago, had over 160 registered players last fall. In the first year, the local league started with 50 or 60 players, and it has steadily grown. One reason for this is the dedication and enthusiasm shown by many parents. Also, soccer is becoming more popular around the world. The World Cup soccer games will be played in the U.S. this year for the first time. FIFA, the Federation Internationale de Football Association, hopes that having the U.S. host the World Cup will generate more interest in soccer in this country. Richard Price is the sole commissioner for the soccer league this year. He and Ann Kerr were in charge of it last year, and Vinnie Carney is the person who started the league. t Mr. Price said, “A lot of the kids in the high school program now, got their start in the local soccer league.” Because of the early experience, he said, they really do well on the high school team. The soccer league has many teams, put together according to age. The youngest is the U6 group (U stands for under). There is also U8, U10, U12, U14 and U16. Boys and girls comprise the teams, and usually parents are the coaches. Mr. Price is a parent and a certified referee. Last fall, coach Ozzie Pace’s U10 i team scored 65 goals during the season and had only two goals scored against them. Most of the players m mi ■■ ■" ■ ■ .. had begun their soccer careers playing on the U6 team. The league plays teams mostly in Culpeper and Madison counties, and some in Fauquier County. Some of the older players have joined Culpeper and Fauquier travel teams, since Rappahannock did not have enough players to have their own travel team. This allowed several players to play indoor soccer in Fairfax County this past January through April. Mr. Price said that indoor soccer is a much faster game because the ball is in play much more so than outdoor games. The league has fall and spring teams which practice on the elementary school and high school fields. The league would love to have a couple of their own regulation size fields, however. Mr. Price said that since the league gets no money from, the county for the program, they need to raise their own. They also need someone to do the fundraising for them. “We can exist for $1,500 a season, which covers insurance and equipment. Our next investment will be four new goals, which will probably cost around i;$5,000,” he said. The league wants to purchase metal goals which last a long time, and are easier to move around than the wooden ones presently in use at the elementary school. Two soccer camps will be held this sumiher. The first one will run from June 27 through July 1, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., and will be held in Culpeper. Teachers will be a group of soccer players and certified coaches from Britain. Their teaching is part of an internship program for them. For more information and registration forms, call Richard Richard Price referees a game with players Tony Starks, unidentified child, Jenny Waters and Lain Carney.

Asparagus-A Rite of Spring By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent, Home Economic* One of the most welcome signs of spimg is the abundance of fresh asparagus in our gardens and local markets. When shopping for asparagus, select firm, tall stalks with tightly closed tips. There should be just a light brushing of lavender ont he rich green of the vegetable. Plump spears are ideal for entrees and casseroles, while the slender ones are best for appetizers and salads. After you pick asparagus or bring it home from the market, wrap the cut ends in moist paper towels and store in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. Asparagus is usually reserved for special meals because it is usually an expensive vegetable unless you have your own. Asparagus plants take two or more years of care before they product harvestable spears, and they require lots of hand labor during planting, growing, and gathering. Try these recipes for delicious asparagus dishes. They use the vegetable to its potential - adding flavor, but never overwhelming its delicate flavor. The first two recips are from Mary Williams of Flint Hill.

Historic Places Toured By LOUISE T. GROGAN Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The May 10 meeting of the Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, NSDAR, was the annual pilgrimage to historic places in Virginia with members and friends touring Tuckahoe Plantation, Scotchtown and the Church Quarter. Tuckahoe Plantation was the boyhood home of Thomas Jefferson, This is a working farm and lived-in home and is one of the few plantation houses not damaged in the Civil War, supposedly because the Yankee commander remembered dancing with the “lady-of-the-house” at a ball in New York City. Because of its antiquite, it was chosen as the asetting for the Williamsburg film “The Patriot.” Another historic place visited was Scotchtown in Hanover County which was the residence of Patrick Henry from 1771-1777. An interesting sidelight of Scotchtown’s history was that Dolley Madison lived there for a few years when she was a child. The third place visited was the Church Quarter, thought to be the oldest unaltered log cabin on the East Coast and now owned by the Scotchtown Chapter, NSDAR. The next meeting will be at 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, June 14 for a dutch treat luncheon at the Public House in Flint Hill. Flag Day will be celebrated with the speaker being Mrs. Richard C.

The Real Cause Of T ree Problems By DR. DIANE RELF Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer Insects and micro-organisms are not the real cause of starting point of many tree problems. These organisms are often secondary agents that attack weakened, wounded, imporperly treated, neglected, and generally unhealthy trees. Fighting the secondary agents that are often very obvious, or the symptoms of poor health, will not solve the basic problem. We must start now to attack the real causethe starting points of poor health. The major organisms causing poor health in trees are people. People Cause Many Tree Problems Once we recognize that we are often the problem, we can do much to solve it. Here are some brief guidelines for you, the homeowner, that will help you keep your trees beautiful, safe and healthy. Give trees a good start: Plant the right trees in the right place. Learn the biological requirements of your trees. Do not plant: 1) pin oaks in alkaline soils, 2) trees in old alkaline building rubble, 3) willows in dry soils, 4) pines in wet soils, 5) birches in shade, or 6) dogwoods in unprotected open sites. And do not plant anything unless you plan to maintain it. Plant properly. Do not crowd trees in small holes with compacted soil. Do not over-amend the soil with humus. Do not fertilize at planting time. Do not tie young trees sc tightly that they do not move, leave braces on after tree is established, or injure bark with cords or wires. Keep grass away. Do not water grass heavily near trees that normally grow on dry sites, lime grass heavily near trees that grow best in acid soils, or wound trees with lawnmowers and other machines. And remember, heavy use of herbicides may harm trees. Correct Pruning Important For Healthy Trees Do prune dead and dying branches correctly. Correct pruning is the best thing you can do for your tree. Do not top trees. Don’t leave living or dead stubs, or injure or remove the branch collar. The best i time to prune living branches is late in the dormant season or very early in spring before leaves form. Dead and dying branches can be pruned anytime. Use sharp tools. Make clean cuts. Be careful with all tools. Safety first! Know your safety limits—call professionals wheh the job is too big for you. Research shows wound dressings do not stop decay or stall rot. Trees have been responding effectively to their wounds for over 200 million years. Do no interfere with this natural process. Keep your tree healthy and it will take care of its wound. Treat wounds. If trees are wounded, remove injured bark with a sharp knife, making cuts as shallow as possible. Forming an elongated ellipse is not necessary. Make all margins rounded; do not point tips. Do not enlarge the wound and do not paint. Do not paint over them. In a short time, the wound surface will blend perfectly with the tree bark. Do everything possible to maintain health-water, fertilize, and prune. Soil Test Tells What Soil Needs Help trees stay healthy. Before you fertilize or consider treatments for micro-element problems, have a soil test done. Your tree may require soil acidification before fertilization, or treatment for microelement problems. Fertilizers add elements essential for healthy growth; they are not tree food. Trees get their energy from the sun. Leaves and needles trap energy in a molecule of sugar. Sugar is tree food. Keep leaves and needles healthy by timely treatments so trees can get their food. Keep soils free of compaction so roots can get water and essential elements. Never over fertilize. It can injure your tree. Some insects and micro-organisms do start tree problems. When in doubt about what to do, contact a horticulturist with the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service or a professional arborist. (Dr. Diane Relf is a horticulture specialist with Virginia Cooperative Extension and is a member of the faculty of Virginia Tech.)
