Just in time for beautifying your house and garden, David Smoot has opened Blue Ridge Gardening and Landscaping on US 211 near Washington. Located next to the Hillsdale Grocery, Smoot has erected a small greenhouse in front of what used to be a dealership which sold farm equipment. The building itself has ample room for all the things he plans to selling. There was a lengthy discussion on the cellular tower issue, which was addressed last month at a joint meeting of the supervisors and County Planning Commission. All five members were present, as well as County Administrator John McCarthy, County Attorney Peter Luke, and Clerk Diane Bruce. Although many citizens are opposed to the tall communications towers in Rappahannock, the federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 prohibits local governments to pass ordinances that deny erecting such towers. Thomas Baldwin, a senior at Rappahannock County High School, recently received a national award from the United States Achievement Academy (USAA) in Physical Education. He is the son of Paul and Cucie Baldwin of Washington.
