Burglary tops local crime report Sometime last week, possibly before Wednesday, a weekend home on Route 626 in Tiger Valley was broken into. The assailant broke through a window and took several thousand dollars worth of rifles, food, liquor, furniture and other things. The house is in a secluded area near Mount Salem Church. The Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office is asking that anyone with information, specifically anyone who saw a large van or pickup truck in the vicinity early last week, contact them. Attempted break-in The Sheriff’s Office and State Police are treating an incident reported on June 15 as an attempted burglary. The resident went into her basement, and when she came back upstairs it looked like someone had tried to get in. Deputies and state troopers noticed that the rear double-doors appeared to have pry marks. They believe this incident may have happened the week before, and was just noticed on the 15th. Suspicious persons A lady approached a residence on Scrabble Road on June 19 claiming to be from Animal Relief Services. She told the female resident that they were taking her dog because it wasn’t being taken care of. The person left without the dog. Sheriff Larry Sherertz said he is not aware that any such organization exists. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Sheriffs Office. A resident on Valley View Drive in Chester Gap reported that, on the night of June 13, her 25 year-old daughter was watching television and noticed a car drive by slowly and stop. The daughter thought they were looking at the house. The Sheriff’s Office has asked the family to contact them immediately if it hap pens again. The Sheriff’s Office received a complaint on the night of June 18 about two men driving through a neighborhood near Route 656 in Castleton drinking and screaming. A deputy stopped the car and found no evidence that the two were drinking, but warned them to stop screaming. Two single-car accidents reported At approximately 8 a.m. on June 14, Linda Deardoff of Flint Hill was travelling on Route 637 south of 647 when she lost control of her 1991 Jeep and struck a tree. There were minor injuries, and damage to the Jeep was estimated at $7000. Ms. Deardoff has been charged with reckless driving. Around 10 p.m. on June 20, Elizabeth Cook of Washington went off the road on Route 729 at 615 to avoid a deer. Her 1985 Toyota pickup struck a ledge and overturned. There were no reports of injuries, and damage to the truck was estimated at $4000. No charges were filed. Vandalism in the county Two mailboxes were reported missing on Long Mountain Road during the middle of the day June 14. A mailbox was stolen from a residence in the 400 block, and a mailbox at another residence on that road turned up missing and was later found damaged. Some windows at Wakefield Country Ef^y School were found damaged in the early morning hours of June 14. Two of the windows broken were in the School Directors office. There was no evidence of entry into the school. Speculation is that this was possibly done by a student who was angry over a recent dismissal of a teacher at the school. Transportation Board awards $200,000 The Commonwealth Transportation Board this week gave final approval for a $200,000 federal grant for the Sperryville Gateway Project in Rappahannock County, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). The grant is through the Federal Transportation Equity Act of 21st Century (TEA-21) program which promotes unique and innovative projects, using federal funds. The Sperryville project will provide streetscaping along Main Street, including construction of underground utilities, pedestrian pathways and crosswalks, signage, parking, landscaping and a footbridge over the Thornton River. The Sperryville grant was one of the 97 projects for a total of $18.5 million statewide that the board approved, including seven projects worth $1.8 million in the Culpeper District of VDOT. The Culpeper District of VDOT serves the counties of Albemarle, Culpeper, Fauquier, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock. With nearly 700 employees, the district is responsible for 70 miles of interstate, 730 miles of primary roadways, and 3,755 miles of secondary roads.

Harris lodge, post office attracts attention By TODD FORTUNE Rappahannock News Staff Writer The county Planning Commission meeting for June was dominated by the proposed new Amissville Post Office and the proposed Harris Country Inn. Harris Country Inn Ms. Elizabeth Harris withdrew her initial plans to construct a campsite resort on 36 acres behind Mountainside Market near Sperryville. She is now proposing a country inn with four one bedroom cabins, two two bedroom cabins, a lodge, a pool and store for patrons only. Attorney Frank Reynolds, speaking on behalf of Ms. Harris, said that they do not plan to appeal J^e status ot the original pernpt tor wte property. He added that he tteedU this is something the countj needs. He noted that this is not strip development, no public utilities will be needed, and that traffic won’t be impeded, apiong other things. Reynolds commented that Ms. Harris has “downgraded in size and upgraded in quality...This fits precisely what the county is looking for.” Reynolds also said that they will do nothing without Department of Health Approval. Greg Huntsacher, Ms. Harris’ architect, added that they are making efforts not to affect the watershed and drainage. A few individuals spoke in favor of the new proposal. They included Mrs. Virginia Cloud and James Russell, who is the former owner of the property. Russell implored the commission to “give Ms. Harris a chance.” A number of individuals spoke in opposition. Among them were Joy Sloane, Ronnie Dodson, Lindy Atkins, speaking on behalf of his father, who owns property nearby and Ron Napier representing Barbara Adolfi, who couldn’t be at the meeting. Their concerns included water usage, privacy concerns, traffic, noise, trash, future use of the property, and whether 36 acres is too small for what Ms. Harris is proposing. There were also safety concerns, as some people nearby hunt. See PLANNING, Page A6

Curriculum Enrichment Program BY ROSA CROCKER Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Education...the formation of habits of judgment, the development of character, the elevation of standards, the facilitation of understanding, the development of taste and discrimination, the stimulation of curiosity and wondering, the fostering of style and a sense of beauty, the growth of a thirst for new ideas and visions of the yet unknown. ...Goodlad in The Third Bracey Report on the Condition of Public Education The Curriculum Enrichment Program (CEP) is one oi many community volunteer groups committed to nurturing educational excellence in the Rappahannock schools. CEP is parent-originated from the First Thursday group. Since 1995, CEP has solely or cooperatively advocated for, hosted or funded hundreds of excellent activities. These residencies, workshops, assemblies, concerts, speakers, exhibits, labs, field trips, student publications and performances help to enhance the dedicated work of faculty and volunteers by promoting an energetic learning atmosphere in the schools. As well, these event serve as evidence that we value a broad education fostering intellectual, social and physical well-being for all students. Highlights from this school year: The sustained generosity of donors has made it possible to offer vital enrichment opportunities to this year’s wave of eager learners in our schools. In 1998-99 alone, CEP has enjoyed being a partner in such wonderful project as: High School • Environmental science student field trip to the Chesapeake Bay. • Light the Torch day (allschool leadership and team building events). • Technology student attendance at regional and state meets (TSA). • Student leadership activities (attendance at Girls’ State). • Shenandoah Shakespeare Express school-community performance of Macbeth and presentation of The Taming of the Shrew for upper grades students. • Front foyer mural project. Elementary School • Third grade field trips to Kennedy Center plays and backstage tour. • Sixth and seventh grade chorus student attendance at Kennedy Center musical drama. • Band instrument purchase and student participation in tri-county concert. • Artists-in-residence Kirk O’Brien (cartoonist) and Ken Marotta (author). • All-school calendar with student artwork and writing. • Middle grades literary magazine. • Middle grades shark dissection labs and all-school saltwater aquarium. • Dance workshops (a music and PE collaboration). Both schools (RAAC) and a primary grades field trip to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and Virginia Science Museum. Plans will continue to emerge over the summer and throughout the school year as exciting opportunities are brought forth. Fostering collaboration CEP often serves as one of several partners for largerscale, cooperatively funded projects. With RAAC we have co-sponsored not onh inschool events but also annual performances for the community, including the Slim • Kick-off assemblies for Headwaters’ summer project, Heart Cries of a Captive People. Just over the horizon The Virginia Commission for the Arts (VCA) has once again approved an Artists-inResidence matching grant proposal submitted by RCES teachers Harriette Rosenblatt (art), Joy Rollins (music), and community artist Sharon Wyrrick (dance/drama). Also under discussion are a return engagement of Shenandoah Shakespeare Express, one or more cooperative projects with the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community namson noeaown, tne iveter Betts Jazz Trio concert and this year’s presentation of Macbeth by Shenandoah Shakespeare Express. In the future we hope to continue working with school and community groups to expand the scope of cooperative projects. To date, Rappahannock schools have typically hosted a VCA residency in just one school at a time. It remains a CEP goal to expand valuable, readily-available means of integrating arts into the core curriculum. Putting your resources to work Private donations comprise about 60 percent of CEP funding. The remainder comes from the school budget. CEP funds are managed to remain readily accessible on an ongoing basis. A portion of our budget is earmarked for opportunities that arise suddenly or may not qualify for support from other sources. CEP tends to fund some programs repeatedly, such as a RAAC cooperative project and the VCA Residencies, however we are always on the lookout for new opportunities. Anyone, teachers, parents, administrators, students, community friends, with a good idea of direct benefit to student learning that promotes a strong curriculum may make a CEP project recommendation. Stretching those dollars Except for modest annual fund raising costs, donations are invested directly in firstrate programs for students since CEP is volunteer-run. Requests to CEP have been steadily increasing, and we’d like to be able to act on each of the terrific ideas proposed. The average per pupil cost of an event is an outstanding value, just $3 to $5 (about $20 annually per student). Some guests appear free of charge whil^ ,fees for others are offered at a discount because private, state or national organizations underwrite their work in schools. We are also grateful to receive donation of room and board for guest performers from the community. Other in-kind pro ject and supplemental .or matching grant funding comes from the Band and Choral Boosters, RCES-PTO, RAAC, Headwaters, VCA, Bluemont Artist-in-Education Fund and Young Audiences of Virginia., Ways to help Besides community financial backing, we also depend on friends to: • Advocate for support of education with local governing bodies. • Host events, assist teachers with classroom projects, chaperone field trips. • Assist the CEP Advisory with planning, hospitality, publicity or fund raising. • Recommend program guests or present workshops in your area of expertise. • Serve as an Elementary, Middle or High School program liaison. • Donate room and board for guest teachers. We cordially invite the community to join us in support of our students, tomorrow’s great leaders, voting citizens, parents and neighbors^ On behalf of the 1,000 plt£s students in the Rappahannock County Public Schools, thanks to all who back the efforts of the Curriculum Enrichment Program!

Making a mockery of all • • • A singer of astonishing virtuosity has been performing every Sunday at the Archwood Green Barns in The Plains. It’s likely that he has been singing on other days and maybe even at night. I know about Sundays because I am there, at the Farmer’s Market, where Lee Trott and I have a vendor’s stall to sell homemade jelly, preserves and pickles. This Mockingbird, Mimus polyglottos — the mimic of many torques — performs from the top of a utility pole, high above the meadow where his mate is no doubt incubating eggs in some tangle of multiflora rose and honeysuckle. He has been there, singing, when we arrive at 10 a.m. on NOTICE OF CHANGE OF MEETING DATE: RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS The Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County hereby serves notice in accordance with §15.2-1416 of the Code of Virginia, 1950 (as amended) that Its regular meeting of July, 1999 shall take place on Wednesday, July 7 at 2:00 p.m. for General Business and 7:00 p.m. for Public Hearings at the Courthouse in Washington.

()nalil\ legal Services Since 19/5 Sunday morning and is still hurling his song into the air when we leave at 4 p.m. Though I can hear the singer clearly from our stall, I often step outside to watch the Mockingbird and assure myself that he is more than a versatile outpouring of sound. I have wondered who else hears this bird besides Lee Trott and myself. I know that the market manager, Michael Barreda of Purcellville, hears and enjoys the Mockingbird’s performance. We have compared notes on his mimicry. Sally Mello, who sells shiitake mushrooms from her Rixeyville Farm, also hears him. As to the other vendors and the visitors, I don’t know. It’s possible the Mockingbird medley is just a part of the sound of summer along with the traffic from Interstate 66 and the hum of conversation. Last Sunday, I noted the following imitations per iormea wunoui pause ana with splendid accuracy: Phoebe, three distinct songs of a Caroline Wren, scold notes of a Robin, the reep of a crested Flycatcher, several raucous calls of a Blue Jay, Red-eyed Vireo (where did he hear that Woodland singer?) and a Redwinged Blackbird. Between imitations — each repeated several times — Mimus tossed out his own notes, or maybe they were variations on the songs of other birds. I wouldn’t know about that, for the embellishments are intricate. The Mockingbird made an attempt at repeating the song of the Wood Thrush, that singer of measured, flute-like notes one hears in the cool shade of the Virginia woods at dawn and at twilight. This ethereal song was beyond Mimus’s formidable ability; it had an edge to it, lacking the fluid quality one hears from All Things . Wild And Wonderful John Trott the spotted thrush. As if knowing this, the Mockingbird gave it up and went back to the two-syllable song of the Phoebe which he does with unfailing accuracy. During a watching period, I saw the bird jump into the ?tir and cut two flips without missing a beat. At one time another Mockingbird flew to the top of the pole and joined the singer for a short time. This could only have been his mate. Was she reminding him that he h^d other duties besides singing? A visitor, just emerging ‘ from his car, saw me gazing toward the sound and joined me in listening. “I bet he hasn’t got a mate yet,” he commented. “I’m sure he has,” I said. “He’s making sure another male is not in his territory.”* une point 1 neara me clear penetrating whistle of a Bobwhite. For a moment I thought Mimus had added this call to his repertory. But no, that affirmation of summer was coming from the meadow many yards below the Mockingbird’s perch. A Song Sparrow also sings from the tangle of honeysuckle that grows among the grasses in the meadow. So far, I have not heard Mimus attempt this bird’s intricate combination, of tinkling notes and low buzzes. While Mockingbird-watching, I saw Grackles chase a Crow that had no doubt been intent on egg-stealing. The big black bird dodged and slipped through the air in its attempt to escape his persistent attackers. The Mockingbird seemed to ignore these battles for he sang on and on. He was aware though, I am sure. Should a Crow or Grackle indicate a taste for Mockingbird eggs or young, t.hp sincrpr wnnlrl attaplr

Author Barbara Holland to read and sign at Old Sperryville Bookshop Virginia author Barbara Holland, who writes with wit and passion about rural life in Virginia, will read her works and sign copies at the Old Sperryville Bookshop on Saturday, June 26 from 2 to 4 p.m. The writer is well known for her 1997 book, Bingo Night at the Firehall, which Publisher’s Weekly magazine I called “a highly engaging story I of an adventurous woman and a charming locale, filled with gentle wit, warm humor and a touch of sadness.” The book is about a dying way of life in America, the life of a small village amid the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. Rappahannock County residents will easily identify with Holland’s observations on an old way of life that is threat ened by the new. A resident of western Loudoun County, Holland inherited her mother’s small cabin, quit her job in Philadelphia and moved into the Blue Ridge Mountains with only her cat for company. In Bingo Night at the Firehall, Holland tells of being a newcomer in an old land of dairies and orchards, a scenic place with a rich history sadly losing ground to subdivisions and four-lane highways. Noting that the author is a part-time writer of obituaries on a local weekly newspaper, The New York Times reviewer called her book “an eloquent first draft of a death notice she hopes never to complete—that of a rural way of life endangered by the suburban sprawl of nearby Washington.” In a chapter on city verses country ways of eating, for example, Holland writes that she now lives “beyond the bean sprouts barrier;” where such urban fads as bean sprouts and tofu have not penetrated. Lunching at the local diner, where if it’s Thursday it’s meat loaf, she tells of the waitress putting down a plate of the daily special and asking, “Anything else?” “Else? Massive slabs of meat loaf tilt over the plate’s edge, elbowed by half a pound Ethel Tyner turned 104 on June 17 BY WAYNE F. BALDWIN Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Mrs. Ethel Tyner formerly of Sara Lane, Sperryville, now of Palmyra, Va. attained her 104th birthday on June 17. On Thursday her pastor, Elder David Roberts and friends, Sally Keyser and Wayne Baldwin visited with her. She is in a much weakened state than a few months earlier. Now spending more time in bed, and tiring quickly, so that visits with her are short. She has developed some breathing difficulties and is not able at this time to intake solid foods. Her mind, however, is still keen enough to recognize with whom she is surrounded. Her vision is failing to the point that glasses do not seem to help, and her hearing is nearly gone, but with putting your mouth close to her “good” ear you can make her understand if you speak slowly and distinctly. She still has within her heart that sweet and abiding hope in her Lord and Savior. She requested from her pastor that he read from her favorite scriptures and pray for her. It might be added that the doctrines which she hrmly holds to, when read, she wholely agrees and attests to. Finally, singing the first verse of her favorite old hymn “Amazing Grace” along with us. From first impression one would preceive that there lay but the figure of a child upon the bed, but upon closer inspection one soon sees the feeble frail body of an old saint whose eyes glimmer of hope. Hope in seeing “face to face” her blessed Jesus, sooner than later. We regret reporting that her physical condition is not better, but we are happy to learn that she is not in any real pain, and that she is still among the living. We wish her much improved health, and that she may still be blessed to live on. Barbara Holland of limas and a sofa cushion of mashed potatoes, and over all oozes a lava of richly brown and aromatic homemade gravy...Having once been city fold, I enjoy a passing twinge of guilt, but the awful truth is that between this great motherly plateful of food and a bean sprout, there’s simply no contest.” The author also will read and sign her new book, Wasn’t the Grass Greener?, which is a collection of witty essays that challenges the culture of late 20th Century America. Both books will be available for author signing at the bookshop, which is located on Main Street in the historic village of Sperryville. Anyone unable to attend the Saturday afternoon reading but who would like a signed copy of either book may call Jim or Joan Gannon at 987-8444 to reserve a copy.

But he isn’t letting that dampen his spirits. Sellers looks at home at Cherries on Top Orchards, located off of Aileen Road in Flint Hill, even though he is not from the area. The smile on his face was from a number of factors, including how much business he was doing. The bad news is that Sellers expected to sell out of cherries this last weekend. The good news is that he plans on having more next year. He also plans on having picnic tables at the top next year for patrons to have lunch while enjoying a breathtaking view. An yes, the view. An access road takes you up to the cherry trees on top of this mountain. On one side you can see Flint Hill and the northern sections of Rappahannock County. Go to the other side and you can view southern portions of the county. Sellers worked as an attorney for 35 years, most of which was spent on Capitol Hill. He was Ralph Nader’s first General Counsel, and has spent the last five years as Legal Counsel for the American Bar Association. When talking about owning an orchard, Sellers says “this is my vision.” It is something he has wanted to do for a long time. He bought a 640 acre orchard in the mountains of West Virginia 25 years ago. Sellers found 10 acres on the mountaintop with special soil, conducive to planting and growing cherry trees. He would drive out to this orchard from Washington, DC on a regular basis. Every time, he would come back to Washington a different way. He was looking for a place to replicate these conditions. He needed certain factors to work out. These included a place at least 1250 feet above sea level, 500 feet above surrounding terrain, with just the right soil and, of course, water. Twelve years ago, Sellers leased property from Pat Saltonstall and put in 1000 cherry trees. That orchard is still operational today. The Sutphin family, who lives nearby, manages the farm, and even brings workers there to pick the trees. Five years ago, Sellers bought the property where Cherries on Top now exists. Maury Sutphin cleared off the land, and Sellers proceeded to plant 1250 cherry trees. This is the first year that this orchard has produced a crop. Sellers noted that the Sutphins are a big part of his success. He added that they are “wonderful people.” Charles Sutphin maintains the equipment on the orchard. Water is important for the cherries to grow, needless to say. He has a series of sedimentation ponds throughout the property because without water, the trees don’t grow properly. “You must irrigate,” said Sellers. Cherry season occurs 6070 days after bloom. When exactly bloom occurs varies, but Sellers did say that the next crop will be available around this time next year. PUBLIC HEARING: PROPOSAL TO CLOSE MAIN STREET IN SPERRYVILLE (RT. 1001) TO THROUGH TRUCK TRAFFIC Notice is hereby given in accordance with §46.2-809 of the Code of Virginia, 1950 (as amended) that the Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County intend to hold a public hearing at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, July 7, 1999, at the Courthouse in Washington, VA to consider a proposal to close Rt. 1001/Main Street in Sperryville to through truck traffic.

The letter by Robert Dennis in this issue of the Rappahannock News, “The protection of Jenkins Mountain,” just highlights the unusual levels of cooperation found in Rappahannock between individuals, local government, and conservation organizations who share the goal of protecting our rural beauty and way of life. Fortunately, for those of us who live in and love Rappahannock, the county’s citizens have a decidedly proactive posture that ensures that this county does not go the way of Fauquier or Loudoun or Albemarle. Rappahannock is unique in Virginia, if not in the entire United States, for its scenic beauty, for its protected spaces, for the view shed from within and from the Shenandoah National Park, and for the strength and blend of its citizens. With the support of the good works of individuals like the McNears and Bob Dennis, established organizations like the Ragged Mountain Resource Center, the Rappahannock League Environmental Protection, and the Piedmont Environmental Council, and emerging organizations like the Rappahannock County Conservation Alliance, we can be assured that the Rappahannock County we love will be here for our children, and our children’s children. From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News Down Memory Lane 30 Years Ago Thursday, June 26,1969 A group of youngsters, working through the Arts and Crafts Group, spent a recent day at Kilby’s pond near Sperryville sketching and receiving instructions in art by Mrs. Helen Kilby and other members of the Crafts group. At Kilby’s cabin high on a hillside, Wendy Hill, Cindy Cumins, Susan Coates, Doug Cumins, Dot Bennett, Wendy Montague and Janet Montague participated. They sketched scenes around the farm which offered views of the mountains, orchards and ponds. A program of Band Music and Fireworks will be held July 4 at Avon Hall, horde of Mr. and Mrs. William M. Carrigan who cordially invited the community to share in this annual patriotic program honoring our Day of Independence. Sitting places for the best view will be available high on the hill back of the courthouse. The annual fund raising carnival of Chester Gap Fire Department and Rescue Squad will be held Wednesday through Saturday, July 2-5. A group of exciting rides, games and prizes and good food will be featured. In the recent meeting of the Amissville Ruritans, plans were revealed for the activities and menu of the club’s annual beef barbecue to be held July 5. The business of the evening followed the fine chicken, potato salad dinner served by the Homemakers Club of Amissville. Other plans included a fall horse show, to which the speaker of the evening was able to contribute from his own experience with 4-H groups. Sperryville Corner Store was advertising hamburger for 65 cents a pound; Western ‘lopes, three for 89 cents; lettuce for 19 cents a head and Virginia Valley bacon for 69 cents a pound. 25 Years Ago Thursday, June 20, 1974 Dr. Jerry Martin and Dr. Werner Krebser plan to open a full-time medical clinic in Rappahannock County’s seat in Washington. Krebser and Martin met when they both worked as family practice physicians at Culpeper Memorial Hospital. Dr. Martin still practices at Culpeper Memorial, while Dr. Krebser practices at Old Dominion Medical Clinic in McLean. Edward Clark and his nephew Gerald Frazier were busy Tuesday evening building and repairing stands on the Washington carnival grounds where the annual fund raising carnival will begin next Wednesday night. Two games of polo are scheduled for Friday night at Fannon’s field. The Rappahannock Polo Club will meet with Reston Polo Club for two encounters which promise excitement. Fannon’s field is located at Laurel Mills. 10 Years Ago Thursday, June 22, 1989 The Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a budget of more than $6.5 million Monday night that calls for a 75 cent tax rate on real estate and a rate of $2.90 per hundred dollars value on personal property. Faith Mountain Company is building a new 10,000 square foot warehouse, which will also eventually serve as its retail outlet, west of Washington on US 211. Faith Mountain Company started by the Woodards in 1977 as a strictly retail store featuring herbs, handmade dried floral arrangements and natural foods. The small company operated from a converted private home on Sperryville’s Main Street. From the humble beginning Faith Mountain Company has become an internationally recognized mail order firm as well. The warehouse construction is expected to be completed by this fall. —COMPILED BY: BARBARA C.

Rappahannock Today , . u Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Carl Eborn Sheriff Larry Sherertz said that Child Safety Seat Day “was a huge success.” During the day, 24 vehicles and 25 seats were checked (one car had a child safety seat and a booster seat). All of the seats inspected were installed incorrectly. Fourteen seats were taken due to recalls for various reasons (age, safety problems, etc.), and those people received new child seats, either free or sold at wholesale, from the Sheriff’s Office. Letter The protection of Jenkins Mountain Citizens of Rappahannock County owe a debt of gratitude to the McNear family for the two transactions, reported in the June 9 Rappahannock News, which placed 316 acres on top of Jenkins Mountain in safe hands. These were conserv ation purchases, the purpose of which was to preserve Jenkins Mountain as well as current views from below and from Skyline Drive. The new owner of this property is the Jenkins Mountain Land Trust, which has connections to the Piedmont Environmental Council, though the PEC organization itself was in no way involved in the project. The funds required were raised entirely from Rappahannock sources. Several years ago, thinking it would be a profitable location for six mega-mansions, a nonresident purchased and subdivided the top of Jenkins Mountain. This was particularly troubling to Dick and Jeannie McNear, who had been donating conservation easements to preserve the present character of Gid Brown Hollow, including Jenkins’ slopes. Fortunately, the subdivision encountered economic difficulties, at least in part due to access problems (an effort to “show Jenkins Mountain last March 11 was aborted when my fourwheel-drive truck, which was supposed to be going forward and upward across a thin cover of snow, started sliding backwards down the subdivision road). The McNears decided to try to buy the Mountain - drawing on money that had been set aside (and was still much needed) for other purposes, including retirement. This was not an utter gamble. As a member of PEC’s board of directors, Dick McNear outlined his plan to other PEC folks in Rappahannock County, receiving offers of support (admittedly rather vague) should his plan prove to work. By late summer 1998, the McNears owned some of the Jenkins Mountain parcels and had negotiated options that secured the others. So, last Sept. 4, McNear led a small group of County PEC leaders on a tour of Jenkins Mountain, I particularly remember a partially-cleared building site from which I seemed to look straight down on Gay Street and the courthouse. McNear was urged to “keep up the good work, and hang in there.” Another tour member accepted the challenge of finding the necessary money, the McNears would no longer be fully exposed financially. Final success was achieved a couple of weeks ago. Jenkins Mountain is protected! What will ultimately happen there remains to be determined, but I do expect the protection to be formalized in the form of a conservation easement sometime next year. And, certainly, there will be no mega-mansions staring down on the Town of Washington or intruding upon the outlook from Skyline Drive. Success can be repeated, but the most practical strategy is to concentrate on voluntary action by landowners. Happily, as an alternative to fund-raising and land purchase, our community can be protected by conservation easement gifts.

BY GERALD OCHS Rappahannock News Special Writer Imagine being on the road for some 250 appearances a year for seven years. That’s the schedule that Everything felt it necessary to keep in order to develop their art, and a following, and to earn enough to survive and to invest further into their futures. This year they’ll take it a little easier, maybe 150 or 200 appearances, since they’ve had some success with their single and video, “Hootch”, and their album “Super Natural.” “Hootch’ hit the Top 10 of Adult Album Alternative radio charts last year; climbed the Modern Rock charts; got video air play on VH1, MTV and M2; appeared in Adam Sandler’s film “The Waterboy,” and won Video of the Year Honors from the Washington Area Music Association. Whew! And you should hear “Be Gone” or “Upon These Dreams” or “Big D’s Playground” on the “Super Natural” CD. I was misled into believing that Everything was stylistically superior, but musically deficient. Not even close. I’m somehow reminded of two of my favorites, Steely Dan and Jimmy Cliff, but these Everything boys are that and more, successfully fusing jazz, rock, funk, Caribbean beats, and genres that I’m too us more of the same, and give them the even broader recognition that they deserve. Maybe too, some more success on the charts will give them a deserved break from their rigorous road schedule, though Steve Van Dam said that the new, less intensive Schedule is Crrpflt at —ve to even name. Manager Randy Reed said that drummer/vocalist Nate Brown is “heading toward world class musicianship” and that band members “focus upon song craft and musicianship,’ and it’s patently obvious that they do. least when compared to the 250 shows per year pace. “I ^ got a gar■ den W ■ going,” _ Steve S said, m m “ a n d we’re here enough so that I can see stow.” While ineir length oi joint experience too becomes apparent in listening to any and all of the cuts on “Super Natural”: they are as tight musically as I have ever heard, and I expect that their new album, presently in the demo stage, will give they may be around more right now, it’s not to idle in the Rappahannock bounty, but to make use of the studio they’ve set up to hone and record some new songs in preparation for the scheduled October record Everything band Perma Treat PEST AND TERMITE CONTROL FREE INSPECTION!

According to Craig Honeycutt, with their in-home studio “the band gets to test material without spending a gazillion dollars.” Right now, Craig said, “the song Hootch is bigger than the band,” but Everything “is not a one song wonder.” The new CD will get “a larger public’s ear tuned in to what’s going on.” A larger public is what they’ll get at the Wolftrap Center on July 2. Everything will perform at what will be their biggest headline opportunity, and they’ve made it easy for the Rappahannock crowd to join them.

In addition, Susan Babcock felt that the location is not appropriate. Some members, including Raymond Brown, aren’t convinced that campers will infringe on neighboring properties. L.G. “Butch” Zindel added that all of the objections could be handled with restrictions. The commission voted 5-1, with Babcock voting no, to send the application to the Board of Supervisors for approval with a number of conditions. They include a detailed site plan, square footage of cabins, roads built to fire and rescue standards, a study on water usage being done and the understanding that the store is for patrons only. Amissville Post Office The United States Postal Service has agreed to purchase one acre from Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth D. Ring along Route 642 near Amissville Baptist Church. The Postal Service wishes the have the land re-zoned commercial so that they may build a new Amissville Post Office. Postal Service representative Clayton Redmond spoke to the commission. He said that the current facility is too small. Redmond added that they anticipate an October, 2000 completion date for the new facility. Many people in attendance spoke to the commission in regards to this particular application, most of whom were in favor. Among them were Bob Lindquist, Amissville Postmaster Beverly Wren, Donald Brown - who presented a petition with signatures from 340 people also in favor - and Steve Miller. Ron Makela said that he doesn’t have a problem with a new post office, but is concerned with the location. He and Jack Atkins both questioned the \»lidity of a private traffic study authorized by the postal service and endorsed by VDOT. Concerns include increased traffic on the road and future commercial development on 642. The commission voted unanimously to send it to the Board of Supervisors for approval with a few conditions. They include final site plan approval, a de-celeration lane and a reduction of the speed limit in that area. Other Business • The commission voted unanimously to forward a request by Nancy Dillon to the Board of Zoning Appeals for approval. Ms. Dillon has asked for a special use permit to convert part of a small garage on her property into an efficiency apartment. Her residence is on Fodderstack Road. • Mark Malik presented a map ot the conservation zones in Rappahannock County to the commission. Approximately 39,000 acres in the county are zoned “conservation.” Of that, about 11,000 is above 25 percent sloped. The rest is between 14 and 25 percent. VDOT requires an 18 percent grade limit for access roads. • There were brief discussions regarding House Bill 2324 and commercial area within the county. In regards to bill 2324, Bob Dennis commented that the county will need to be creative in what it does. Commission Chair Dr. Werner Krebser, Ron Frazier and Zindel will work together to come up with some ideas. The commission will work on possible directions for the future development of commercial areas. One village will be dealt with at a time. • Krebser informed the commission that they are requested to attend a work session on the telecommunications ordinance, scheduled for July 7 at 8 p.m. The next Planning Commission meeting is scheduled for July 21.

Blue Knoll Farm, still on the map BY LEE COGHLAN Rappahannock News Contributing Writer A little out of the way, but well worth the find, Blue Knoll Farm Bed & Breakfast is still standing in Castleton. Mary and Gil Carlson bought and opened the B&B in 1992, and since then the competition has doubled. Mrs. Carlson has noticed dwindling numbers, but she has not suffered as much as other B&B’s. Her secret: unparalleled service, accommodations, and atmosphere. Once visitors have found Blue Knoll, they always go back. She says, “I have a whole theory of hospitality, treat people like you want to be treated. It’s not always easy to do. And I hope that they treat me the same in return. I get a vision about who’s going to come to the door. Photos by Lee Coughlan CHARMING: Rooms at the Blue Knoll Farm are inviting and cozy. Generally, I let out a sigh of relief, because people are normally nice to deal with.” Mrs. Carlson runs the B&B, while her husband works as a communications engineer and travels to L’Enfant Plaza three times a week. The Carlsons moved to Rappahannock in 1992 from Annapolis, Md. Mrs. Carlson was working for the Maryland General Assembly. She recalls, “I wanted something that was my own.” And she always thought she would do a B&B. Her husband was military for most of tneir married life and the Carlsons had to relocate umpteen times. With Mrs. Carlson setting up house each time they moved, she got really good at it. Being a military wife, she also had to entertain quite a bit. She would singlehandedly coordinate and execute small and large din ner parties. “I had to be the good little Navy wife. I would throw little parties for 75 or 100 people. We moved to England, and the second day we were there, a family from Connecticut came through and I was cooking dinner for seven. I can remember throwing parties the day before the moving van was coming.” And Mrs. Carlson adds, “Working in politics, I learned to chat with people quite easily.” With all this experience, she knew she could run a B&B. The Carlsons purchased Blue Knoll from the Cartwright Browns who own the Conyers House, another B&B. The building is pre-Civil War and was originally a one over one (or a two room house). Over the years, there have been additions. The B&B has four guest rooms, all with private baths (one with a Jacuzzi tub and one with a fireplace). Three of the rooms have queen beds and one has a king. Mrs. Carlson says, “It was a B&B two and a half years prior to our arrival. Before that it was a private home. At one time, an architect had it and did a lot of the bath renovations.” She put everything together quickly. She describes the decor as “eclectic, Country-Victorian.” They had a lot of furniture already. Mr. Carlson modified some of their antique beds in order to hold queen mattresses. And just three short weeks after they moved in, the Carlsons opened for business. The dream was going well, until June of ‘95. Mrs. Carlson says, “The dream became a nightmare.” It was the summer of Mr. Carlson’s 60th birthday when he was struck by a car while crossing Independence Avenue in D.C. He was hospitalized for four months and they shut the B&B down for the summer. Mrs. Carlson remembers, “He didn’t get home until Thanksgiving. But thanks to a remarkable recovery and marvelous therapy, he can walk again. Then we had the worst winter. I had to shut down again. I felt like Olivia Walton, except I didn’t have all those kids to help. That’s when we decided that people shouldn’t work so hard. Every summer since, we have closed down and taken a vacation.” But when they are not vacationing, Mrs. Carlson tries to keep the B&B open seven days a week. The rates are $95-$ 125 for double occupancy. To get to Blue Knoll, follow U.S. 211 to Ben Venue (15 miles from Warrenton), turn left on 729 for two miles, turn right on 676/Gore Road just after Thornton River Bridge (pavement ends 500 feet), take second gravel road on right, 1/2 mile to end. “Gods and Monsters” movie Playing at The Theatre on Friday, June 25 at 8 p.m. BY ROSIE DAY Rappahannock News Contributing Writer James Whale directed three great pictures in the 1930’s - “The Invisible Man”, “Frankenstein”, and “The Bride of Frankenstein.” A cult figure among movie buffs, Whale died in 1957 under mysterious circumstances, drowning in his Hollywood swimming pool. Director Bill Condon’s Oscar-winning script introduces us to Whale (Sir Ian McKellen) in his final days. Hampered by a mild stroke, the retired filmmaker lives with his Hungarian housekeeper Hannah (Lynn Redgrave). Still too frail for yard work, Whale hires an ex-Marine named Clayton Boone (Brendan Fraser regarded as a “hunk” by the younger generation) as a gardener, despite the young man’s reservations about Whale’s obvious homosexuality. Whale, who fought in World War I, impresses the younger man with his battlefield exploits and Hollywood friends, and an unlikely friendship develops. McKellen, one of this generation’s finest actors, received an Academy Award nomination for his role and Ms. Redgrave was given the Golden Globe award for Best Supporting Actress. RAAC is sponsoring this interesting and unusual movie and will show it Friday, June 25 at 8 p.m. Admission: Adults, $5 and Students $4 (No rating -105 minutes.)

Is it because we are afraid that letting go could hold worse consequences? We need to know when to let go. There is an exercise in faith demonstrated in many Christian groups throughout the country. Members take turns falling backwards into a group of their peers, letting go of the fear of falling and replacing it with the faith in those who are waiting behind them. In Psalm 145:14, we read... “The Lord upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.” God is there when we let go. He is there to cushion our falls, if we but trust Him, for our Heavenly Father knows what awaits us. Commune with God regularly at your chosen place of worship. Each week your faith will increase. You will let go of fear and hold on to God.

This notion was so eloquently elaborated upon by Basil W. Maturin, who wrote, “After all, it’s the daily round of life with all the little things that make it up from morning to evening and the intimate companionship that is woven more and more closely year by year - it’s this that is broken in upon, and whatever else we look forward to in the other world, it will not be this - and you must sometimes wonder if Heaven itself can make up for the joy of life, with all its disappointments and troubles, in this dear old earth.” Sometimes loss simply heightens that sense of our connection to those whom we love. In the daily thrum of activity, we often are not close to how precious our moments with loved ones can be. Death can be that reminder, if we don’t allow it to swallow us with sorrow, but to tell us that all things end. At the Moser Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Ave., we are here to help in any way we can. Losing one you love is a vulnerable time, and you’ll find we treat you with respect. Call 3473431. “One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one s whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. ” - Jean-Paul Sartre Rappahannock News gift subscriptions are enjoyed 52 weeks a year. _* Call 675-3338 to give one._ Business & Service Directory Only $4.60 per week for a 1 inch space (540) 675-3338 Next Deadline July 23 BUILDING SUPPLIES CHERRY STREET BUILDING SUPPLY CORP.
