Group objects to buffer zone at Antietam By DEB RIECHMANN Associated Press Writer SHARPSBURG, Md. Washington County commissioners are expected to give final consideration today to a controversial plan designed to control development threatening Antietam National Battlefield, one of the best-preserved Civil War battlegrounds in the nation. On Monday, about 80 farmers and residents formed a tractorcade and carried picket signs at the battlefield to protest three proposed historic overlay zones that would restrict and control new construction in the area. Carrying signs that said "Promote Farming not Bureaucrats" and "Historic Overlay Stinks," the demonstrators paced a sidewalk outside the visitors center. Farmers paraded about a dozen pieces of farm equipment in the parking lot.

"We share the common objective of preserving Antietam, but you cannot achieve that objective if you don't have the support of the local people," said Howard F. Corcoran, a demonstrator who co-owns more than 300 acres near the battlefield. Corcoran and other members of Farmers at Antietam want the county commissioners to scrap the so buffer zone concept and emphasize voluntary land preservation programs, such as the Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Foundation. Group members reject plans for a historic commission, which Corcoran said would have "unbridled power" in controlling new construction in the area. Other members believe the buffer zone is part of a larger scheme to put the area "under glass" and transform it into a tourist mecca.

The protest was staged to coincide with a visit by members of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, an independent federal agency that advises the president and Congress on preservation issues. The 19-member group toured Antietam to study potential effects of suburban development in historic rural areas. The Battle of Antietam began at dawn Sept. 17, 1862. After the smoke cleared, more than 23,000 Union and Confederate soldiers were killed, wounded or missing.

The battlefield site encompasses 3,200 acres inside a congressionally approved boundary line. Shippensburg Charged: Police have charged the following people: Dean Edward Miller, 21, 121 N. Queen Shippensburg, disorderly conduct in connection with an incident in May; Stephen P. Walker, 22, Carlisle, disorderly conduct shortly after midnight Saturday; Eugene M. Smith, 65, Union, driving under the influence of alcohol Sunday; a 13- year-old male, retail theft Saturday from the Uni-Mart store on West King Street; two 15-year-old males, state minor liquor law violation Friday.
