Rappahannock News, August 12, 1982

Houses For Tour The Episcopal Churchwomen of Bromfield Parish have selected the homes to be viewed on their annual house tour, set for October 16 and 17. The tour is held in conjunction with the dried flower sale, also sponsored by the Churchwomen. Homes to be toured are The Conyers House, home of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Cartwright-Brown in Slate Mills, Aft Prospect II, home of Mrs. Arthur Miller near Washington; and Cumberlandhome of Mr. and Mrs. John C. H. Hooff on Hazel Run in Jenkins Hollow. Tea will be served each day at Cumberland. Tickets will be on sale at the parish hall at Trinity Church. The parish Hall will also be the site of the dried flower sale. BAA C To Have Second Block Dance The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC) has announced plans for a second block dance to be held on Saturday, September II. RAAC reported an enthusiastic response to the July third dance, as well as a successful art show held on the 4th of July. Joy Luke, chairman of the RAAC Board of Directors, said that a general meeting of the membership is planned for August 30 at 7:30 p.m. in the Washington Courthouse. Luke said that, at that time, the Board of Directors will report on progress to date and tentative plans for the future. The Board of Directors also wants to hear suggestions from the members on which activities and programs they believe are most important to the community, and encourages new members to attend. The Association was formed following a series of meetings held by small groups to explore the possibility of a county wide arts organization. On May 6, at a general meeting held in the Washington courthouse, a Board of Directors was elected and given the mandate to form a nonprofit, tax-exempt corporation which could sponsor community programs. Luke said that the Association will continue to sponsor events such as the art show and block dance, but that one of the main purposes for R A AC’s formation was to provide a center where the Rappahannock Players can stage their popular plays; where the Rappahannock Chorus and the Last Minute Wood Company can hold rehearsals and performances; where regular movies can be shown; and where meetings, dances, and conferences can be held. Luke added that, at the time RAAC was formed, discussions had indicated that it might be possible to obtain the use of the old Washington school now owned by Mr. William Carrigan for such a center. Luke stressed that it was important for all those interested in the arts in Rappahannock to come to the August 30 meeting. "There are a number of crucial decisions to be made (Continued on Page 7) Rappahannock Newt I'hotojoe Mrdulloiufh ' i..■ iiviu jit HAVING A BALL AT CAMP, David Moser, Greg Daczwitz, Mark Butler, Adam Clatterbuck and Darren Dodson clowned around during lunch break. Rappahannock s annual 4-H day camp is being conducted this week at Hazel River in Boston, giving local youngsters an opportunity for crafts, swimming, canoeing, fishing, games and fun. County To Seek $700,000 Cost figures haven't been finalized but preliminary work indicates that Rappahannok County will be applying for close to the maximum $700,000 available through the Community Development Block Grant Program for Sperrvville's sewer system, according to John Capelle, executive director of the Rappahannock - Rapidan Planning District Commission. Initially, the county's Water and Sewer Authority, which is working with Capelle on preparation of the grant application, expected to ask for around $500,000 in block grant funds. But the request will be upped to compensate for a reduction in gj-ant money from the State Water Control Board for construction of the sewer system. Instead of the SI.4 million from the Environmental Protection Agency whic'n comes through Virginia’s SWCB. Capelle said that the Sperrvville project can now expect only $1.15 million and that award is contingent upon securing block grant funds. Block grants will be allocated on the basis of a 100 point system of which 50 points are comprised of relative need. With final criteria now established on both regional and state priorities. Capelle reported that Sperryville's project falls in the top category of both as a mandated sewer treatment system and garners the maximum 16 points available for meeting state and regional priorities. (Continued on Page 7) Estimates Outstrip Shop/Office Budget By DAPHNE HITCHINSON Hn|>|mhaim<x-k Vw„ Staff « ril. r At meetings last Wednesday and this Tuesday, the Kappahannock School board heard alarmingly high estimates on what a proposed vehicle maintenance facility and central office will cost to build. Just how high is anybody’s guess, however, because the board refused to release any of the figures from a formal report on construction program and budget analysis for the combination structure prepared by Mosely-Henning architects. At the start of a two hour discussion on the MoselyHenning report at the August 4 meeting, chairman Beverly Massie cautioned her fellow board members against mentioning dollar amounts, expressing concern that publication of the architect's rough projection on cost of the new building would somehow compromise the bidding process later. Subsequently, when asked by the Rappahannock News for a copy of the MoselyHenning report, superintendent of schools Robert Estabrook refused after consultation with the board chairman, maintaining the document falls in the category of "working papers” and is thus excempt from disclosure under the state's Freedom of Information Act. (The News is waiting for the promised written refusal from board attorney Phillip Stone and will then pursue the issue through appropriate legal channels.) Cost Too High At last Wednesday's meeting in open session, the board members discussed alternatives presented in the architect’s program and cost analysis. It became immediately apparent that the price tag architect Haskell Brown attached to the building project was way over the original $90,000 estimate included in the 1982-83 budget. “Have you got a sense of humor?" asked Nelson Lane Brown after reviewing the cost analysis. "You'll think you walked into a Dean Martin roast tonight. With figures like this. I think we ought to nickname you E.T.!” the board member said, referring to Steven Spielberg’s popular movie about an extra-terrestial from out of this world. Brown’s building program doubled the square feet in the vehicle maintenance facility from around 2.000 in rough drawings presented several months ago by Lane to 4,000. As conceived by Mosely-Henning, the bus shop would also include three vehicle maintenance bays instead of two, a vehicle lift, offices for the transportation superintendent, storage for equipment and batteries and an auto exhaust system and emergency shower, both required by the state building code. In the Mosely-Henning proposal laid out on the fable last week, space in the central school board office increased as well from the original drawing made some months ago, jumping from around 1.800 to 2.555. Brown told the board members that the building code also required that an expensive 12 inch fire wall extending above the roof ine be installed between the bus shop and office if the facilities are housed in a single pre-engineered metal building, a cost that hadn't been initially figured. Asked it he had any other surprises on compliance with the building code. Brown replied that he didn't think what was originally proposed for the combination building took the code into consideration. Two Alternatives As a result of the necessity for including a tire wall in construction plans and in response to higher interior construction costs involved with turning a pre-engineered metal structure into office, space. Brown gave the board two plans: one for a vehicle maintenance facility of preengineered metal with concrete floors and adjoining central office of cinder block and the second for a vehicle maintenance building of preengineered metal with the school board office in a separate building of light residential construction with brick veneer. But the board wasn't buying any of it. “1 thought we were talking about a Butler-type building (for both the office and the bus shop)." said Nelson Lane. Using a pre-engineered steel building for the school board office would not offer an economic advantage due (Continued on Page 4i In Three Week Holmes Trial Jury Upholds $1.8 Million Will In Favor Of Navy Doctor B> DAPHNE HlTt.HINSON Ka|t|»ahann«H'k V-h- Maff * rilrr Part I: The Defendant's Case After 12’/j days of testimony that reads like a script for an episode of "General Hospital," a Rappahannock jury deliberated less than three hours last Thursday before finding that Earl E. Holmes, Flint Hill orchardist who died of liver cancer in November, 1979, had executed a valid will a month prior to his death in which he left his entire $1.8 million dollar estate to his doctor, naval commander Peter Neilson. The 76-year-old Marine Corps officer had no wife or children. His closest ralative was a sister, Ruth Holmes, three years older, also single and childless. Ruth Holmes died just three months after her brother and in her will directed her executrix and chief beneficiary, Betty Paleologos, her friend and care-taker for over 15 years, to challenge her brother’s bequest. That long—and expensive—legal battle ended August 5 with the jury's rejection of arguments that Col. Holmes was mentally incapacitated when the will was executed or that Neilson had exercised undue influence in coercing the colonel to make the bequest in his favor or that fraud was involved in the actual signing of the document. But the contest may not be over. David Konick, local attorney on the plaintiffs team of lawyers, announced this week that an appeal will be filed. “On behalf of all of us, none of us are in the least bit sorry about the outcome of the case because this is not the final outcome, just the end of round one. We are carrying out a dying lady’s last wish and we’re going to continue carrying out her last wish until there’s no place left to go with the case, no matter how long it takes, no matter what the cost. “We had an opportunity during the trial to compromise and it was everyone’s unanimous decision, including the attorneys who received no money and Betty and Johnny Paleologos, that if we compromised, we would be violating Ruth Holmes' last wish and we just couldn’t do that," Konick said. Story Unfolded Bit By Bit The story that came out piece by piece in Judge Shore Robertson's circuit court during the three week trial has all the ingredients of best selling fiction: missing hospital records, an old hunting dog that was the dead man’s "best friend,” contradictory opinions from medical experts. a revolutionary new theory on contested documents from an ex-FBI agent, allegations that the will was a doctored hospital release form, testimony that Bethesda Naval Hospital's tower 15 where Col. Holmes was treated is labeled with the sinister nickname. the ‘‘stairway to heaven,” because few patients ever come back down alive from the top floors, and charges that the colonel was suffering from a degenerative and progressive mental disorder which began as far back as the early 1960s. A key point in the case centered around what transpired in Col. Holmes’ hospital room on October 27, 1979, the date of the will and • the day after Dr. Neilson, his out-patient physician for si* years, told the colonel he was dying and had probably two weeks to live. The will allegedly ex^uted on October 27 was witnessed and signed in that hospital room by two Bethesda staff members, both of whom appeared at the trial. Sgt. Edward Stevenson, brought back to testify by the defense from his post in Germany, told the court that Col. Holmes, in separate conversations which occurred two or three days before the will signing, had said that he was "going to make out a will" and that “he was going to do something good” for Dr. Neilson. A civilian orderly working part-time then at the hospital, Stevenson said he’d met the colonel a few days after his admittance on October 12. 1979, and had taken him on several occasions in a wheel chair to the post exchange “when he was in good spirits” and to the nuclear medicine department where Dr. Neilson was assigned. Part of his duties as an orderly, he said, was to engage patients in conversation aimed at lifting their spirits. In speaking with Col. Holmes during this daily contact, Stephenson testified, he noticed no sign of mental problems or depression. “To me, he had a very strong will,” the sergeant said, adding that the colonel was “strong hearted... a very stern man ...a very independent person.” Called To Room Stephenson said that he was called into the patient's room on October 27 by the charge nurse on the floor. Georgia Liston Daley. Appearing “very alert” and "in good spirits”, the colonel asked him to witness the signing of “a document," the sergeant testified, adding that he intuitively judged it to be a will. Stevenson told the court that he watched as first the colonel and next the charge nurse signed and dated the document. Then he did the same but without reading any part of the sheet of paper. The sergeant didn't remember seeing a man in a r JUDGE SHORE ROBERTSON white lab coat standing in the doorway of the room and affirmed that no one did anything in his presence to compel or coerce Col Holmes to sign the document. Under cross examination by Lawrence Elgin, who with former White House counsel William Casselman and Konick represented Betty Paleologos, Stevenson emphasized that it had been a long time since the document was signed and that he had trouble focusing his memory on what was actually said in the hospital room. Shown the alleged will, he responded that the paper he signed was “a whole lot bigger." On redirect, however, he identified the will as the document he witnessed on October 27 and verified both his and the colonel's signature. Nurse Saw Every Shift Lt. Georgia Liston Daley, the 26-year-old naval nurse now stationed at Portsmouth Naval Hospital who was in charge of the floor where Holmes was a patient during the evening shift, recalled that she spoke with the colonel at least an hour each night. She described him as a strong man who “knew what he wanted and asked for what he wanted.” During the month that Holmes was under her care, she said she saw him reading a lot and going over what "appeared to be business type papers...stacks of papers...doing his own business.” i y Emphasizing positive answers with nods of her head. Lt. Daley said that Col. Holmes stood out in her mind although he had been her patient three years ago "and 1 can't say that about too many people..." On the afternoon of October 27, Daley testified that she heard the call bell from the colonel's room and at the same time. Dr. Neilson stepped into the hall to tell her that Col. Holmes wanted her help with some document. She recalled entering the patient’s room with Stevenson while the doctor, wearing a lab coat and dark pants, stood at the door. The colonel asked her to witness the document which she read after Holmes signed it and before she signed. Lt. Daley testified. She positively identified the paper shown her in court as the document she signed on October 27, adding that it had not been part of or attached to anything else. The nurse told the court that on the day the will was executed. Col. Holmes appeared mentally competent and alert. ‘‘I could understand everything he said...He knew what he was asking us to do...I believe he was competent at the time he signed his will." Lt. Dalev added that she didn't hear or see Dr. Neilson say anything to the colonel or touch him during the will signing ceremony. Although she never discussed the will afterwards with Holmes, Daley said she continued to see him on a regular basis right up to the day he left the hospital. She told the court that she never witnessed any fcizarre or unusual behavior on his part and that he always appeared in control, both emotionally and mentally. "He talked to me about going home all the time. He wanted to be with his dog." she said. Holmes also spoke of his friends but v "only in regards that they were in his hunting club.” not as best friends, the nurse said, adding that she didn't remember any names. Never Spoke Of Sl*ter? Under cross examination. Lt. Daley testified that she'd never heard Col. Holmes speak of his sister Ruth although she acknowledged knowing he had a sister. Asked about an entry in the patient's records that described Holmes as depressed, Daley emphasized that he was physically ill. "Cancer tends to make people depressed. It's a natural response to an illness," she said, disagreeing that the colonel’s depression was a sign of mental incapacity. Elgin pointed out that in her first deposition. Daley said she'd been summoned to the colonel s room by Dr. Neilson while in her second deposition, she recalled answering the call light and in court testimony she remembered both things hrfj^vening. Unruffled. Daley straightened her already military posture and explained that she probably noticed the call light first and was walking to Holmes' room when Neilson told her she was wanted by the patient. Asked if the document in evidence was exactly as it appeared the day she signed it. the nurse answered "I think so," and again positively identified her signature. "And I hope the paper didn't shrink!" she joked, eliciting chuckles and smiles from the jury. Elgin questioned the lieutenant in regard to a "thank you" note (for a box of candy given to the nurses) written by her and addressed to Ruth Holmes. The note to Miss Holmes said that Col. Holmes spoke of his sister “lovingly all the time" and that "he wanted more than anything else to come home and see you before he died." The note concluded with a request that Ruth Holmes begin eating again: "Your brother would have wanted you to." Asked to explain in light ot her earlier testimony that the colonel never spoke of his sister. Lt. Daley said onlv that she'd tried to write Miss Holmes a "sweet note" after learning that the colonel's sister had stopped eating. Questioned by the plaintiff's lawser as to whether the words she used to describe Col. Holmes were her own words. Lt Dales replied that "strong willed" was probably her own term. She elaborated on that phrase by noting that the colonel "tried to get up and walk (despite edema anil acites that left him with severely swollen legs and abdomen)...he tried to maintain his dignity." she said, adding that Holmes wasn’t someone who at tempted to elicit pity. Neilson Takes Stand Commander Peter Neilson. the colonel's out-patient doctor for six years prior to his death, testified t at he first met Holmes when he was admitted to Bethesda Hospital in the spring of l'f73 after fainting while driving his car. Neilson said he treated him as an in-patient during that short hospital stay and then at the colonel's request, continued to follow him on an out-patient basis for a minor heart disorder Holmes also suffered from a neurogenic bladder which emptied uncontrollably and unpredictably. the doctor said. With that condition growing more severe over the years, the colonel didn't like to leave his Flint Hill orchard and when he did. carefully planned trips so as to be close to a bathroom as much (Continued on Page 7)

Soldiers Drove Brothers From Their Home Presented in four parts, the following "Life and Times of Sanford Rollins of Virginia" was printed for the author in 1880. Louise S. Varner of Sperryville provided The Rappahannock News with a copy of the little 18-page pamphlet which tells the story of a Rappahannock native, who lived over a century and a half ago —4January. 1862, my housekeeper got tired and left which left us in a bad situation. We made up our minds to keep house by ourselves. 1 thought it a bad undertaking but William thought not; 1 was always w illing to take his advice. We got on much better than I imagined. I soon found that I was living in more; peace than I was the year before, nothing troubled me but the war; everything went on well until the next May. twelve months. One Hay when I was away from home there came four or live drunken confederate soldiers to mv house who cursed and abused William and threatened to blow his brains out if he opened his mouth. They took off all our best clothes and a new hat for which I had given three dollars for which left me almost bareheaded. When 1 got home that night. William said we would have to break up housekeeping; he said he could not stay there by himself. 1 found he was bent on leaving. The next day we got our things and moved them to Mr. Washington. Burke's; he promised to take care of them. It was a miserable day to me; 1 knew not what to do nor where to go. That evening we went to Mr. Edmond Burke’s, and stayed all night; he seemed to pity our condition. The next morning I was about to leave. and knew not where I was going. Before I left he said he had made up his mind to lett there not knowing where I should go. A deep snow had fallen the night before. We His Life And Times make me an offer; he said we could both stay 12 months, and we should have our clothes and board for my work. We both consented to the proposal, and at nine o'clock I was in the field at w ork. The Best Of Homes 1 soon found it to be the best home 1 had ever had in all my life; we were so kindly treated. ! loved them all. I continued w ith them until the next May- He told me one morning that he would like me to continue with him. but his family was so large, he could not keep us. I told him that I was thankful for what he had done for me. He laughed, and said 1 was the best negro he ever had. I I stayed there that day, wondering where I should go. I left there and went to Mr. Washington Burke’s to see about our things, and intended to go to Mr. Thornhill’s. but Mr. Burke gave me a job of ditching. After cutting the ditch, he and his family insisted on our staying there. We stayed there until after Christmas, and never received one cent for my w ork.

From there we left and went to Mr. Richard Thornhill's. He gave us a job of breaking his tlax. We broke and swingled his crop of flax. We then left and knocked about the neighborhood until the last of February. Built A Home 1 tried evervw here to rent a house, but could not. About the last of February, Mr. Thornhill and w ife said if we would build ■ a house, they would give us a place. 1 went immediately to see a neighbor about some logs. He asked me 12*/i cents a piece for old field pine, and I told him I would if I could do no better. I then went to see Mr. Romine who gave me the logs, but I did not get quite enough. Mr. Thornhill furnished the balance. The first day of March I cut them with what 1 could do. and with the assistance of Mr. Thornhill, by fall 1 had a comfortable little house. On the next new year we moved in. and felt once more that 1 was in a house of our own. We got along without any trouble for about five years, in that time 1 found that my eye-sight was failing me. Lost Papers And Bible 1 had to give up my papers and Bible which was a great trouble to me. 1 soon found that I could not do all kinds of work; 1 kept the trouble to myself; my neighbors were very kind. We received many presents; 1 had a friend that would read a great deal for me every night. He read the first two volumes of Spurgeon’s Sermons for me. I believe after all mv troubles it was the happiest of my life. Nothing happened worth relating until the fourth Saturday and Sunday in May, 1878. We went to meeting on Saturday, and Sunday I found coming home that there was something the matter with William. 1 asked him what was the matter, he said nothing. When we got home he laughed and talked as usual before we went to bed. 1 found I had to dress him; it went to my heart. 1 thought he had lost his mind. I did not sleep much that night. I was in too much trouble. h|e seemed to sleep with ease, he got up next morning and went to the spring as usual; he did not complain at all. 1 told him while he was getting breakfast I would get a turn of wood; when I returned, 1 found him on the bed. He said he could not get breakfast. he had tried to make the coffee and poured the water all over the floor, and said he had put the bread down and he had better see to it. 1 went and found it in the skillet sitting on the edge of the floor. Paralyzed Mrs. Thornhill came in and got our breakfast; he ate uncommonly hearty. About eight o'clock he lost the use of one side. I could not thinK what was the matter. Qti Wednesday we sent for the doctor, he did not come until Thursday. he soon pronounced him paralyzed, and gave him a dose of medicine; from that time he grew worse. I walked out one night and j left him sitting on a chair; just as I got outside of the floor I heard him fall; he struck his head against the bedstead and it raised a large knot on his head. I got him on the bed and from that time never left him when sitting up. He bore his sufferings with patience. He was attended by Mrs. Thornhill with all attention that human heart could wish. 1 never closed my eyes for nine nights; I got a little sleep sometimes during the day; he ate heartily all the time. On the Thursday before his death I asked him if it pleased God that he should die and did he feel that he was going happy; he said yes, but that he dreaded death. He handed me his knife and comb and said he wished me to keep them as long as I lived to remember him. On Friday morning he became speechless and noticed nothing. He lived in that way until Monday morning about eight o’clock, when death came to his relief. Here commenced my seventh trouble. His many friends and Mr. Thornhill’s family did all that was necessary for him, his funeral service was preached by A. M. Grimsley, and then he was laid bv the side of our mother. Mv trouble now knew no bounds. My eyesight was entirely gone. 1 felt that 1 was left in this world without a friend. I bless the Lord I was mistaken; I have found friends ever since. Mr. Thornhill and wife have treated me as though 1 were their brother. I have never wanted for anything. They have supplied my wants without much recompense. 1 never shall forget them, 1 know I can never reward them for it but I hope God w ill. I will now stop and ask the prayers of my kind readers. 1 am now 64 years old. If you feel an interest in the welfare of this poor, aged and afflicted man, you will confer a favor on him bv rendering him any assistance you may see fit. It could not be bestowed on a better object. SANFORD ROLLINS I A GROUP OF GIRL SCOUTS AND SENIOR CITIZENS won a second place award for their float in the Flint Hill parade.

Friday The Thirteenth Not Feared Around Here By THERESA REYNOLDS Ra|»|»nhnnnork Staff ^ rit»*r According to an informal survey taken by the Rappahannock News, most local people will not be staying home, avoiding black cats or otherwise taking measures to protect themselves against the misfortunes traditionally associated with Friday the 13th. People interviewed by the News thought of the day in a humorous way, and expressed no fear of what tomorrow would bring. In this respect, county people differ from populations studied in several different surveys taken throughout the country to determine the kinds of superstitious beliefs widely held. By far the strongest and most oft e n - men t ioned superstition was that Friday the 13th is a very unlucky day. From all accounts, this superstition began, not because something bad happened on a Friday the 13th, but because both Fridays and the number 13 are considered unlucky. The concept of Friday as a day to be dreaded comes from the Some Disasters That Fell On The Thirteenth A quick review of major world tragedies reveals that no more than a usual percentage of disasters has occurred on the 13th, despite almost universal belief that this number is unlucky. Of the hundred or so disasters at sea since 1865, none happened on the thirteenth. On January 13,1915, there was a colossal earthquake in Avezzno, Italy, killing 30,000 people and measuring 7.5 on the Richter scale. In 1928 the St. Francis Dam in Santa Paula California collapsed, killing 450 people on March 13. On September 13 of the same year. Lake Okeechobee in Florida flooded with a death toll of 2,000. Tornadoes do not seem to favor the thirteenth. None of the major tornadoes recorded since 1936 has struck on that day of the month. There have, however, been a couple of nasty blizzards. Most of us remember Hurricane Connie in 1955. which struck Virginia, the Carolina’s and Maryland on August 13, causing the death of 43 people. Connie picked a Thursday to strike but Friday the 13th was truly disastrous for the people of Bangladesh in 1970, who sustained a cyclone in November of that year which took a total of 300,000 people. A major oil spill occurred in 1968, on June 13. Responsible for the disaster was the World Glory, which experienced hull failure and lost 13,524,000 gallons of oil. The thirteenth has been the date for several major explosions, although none of them was on a Friday. In 1928, a dance hall in West Plains, Missouri, exploded, killing forty dancers on April 13. In 1966, a chemical plant in LaSalle. Quebec, exploded with a toll of 11 on October 13. On April 13, 1976. a munitions work in Lapua Finland blew up, killing 45. Several major fires have been recorded on the thirteenth day of the month. They are: The Rhoads Theatre fire in Boyertown, Pa., killing 170 on January 13, 1908; the Norman, Oklahoma state hospital fire on April 13, 1918, in which 38 souls perished; and the Melbourne, Australia hotel fire on August 13,1966, which killed 29. On May 13, 1972, a fire broke out in an Osaka. Japan night club, with a death toll of 116. The only major U. S. railroad wreck recorded on the 13th is a wreck near Humble Texas in 1922. which killed 22 in December. Tw6 tragic aircraft wrecks have occurred in this century on the 13th: An Aeroflot TU-104 exploded and crashed at Alama-Ata, Central Asia, killing 90 on January 13, 1977; and. in the same year, on December 13, a DC-3 crashed after takeoff at Evansville, Indiana. Among those 29 killed were the University of Evansville basketball team. T t crucifixion, believed by Christians to have occurred on the day before the Hebrew Sabbath. Since the Middle Ages it has been considered bad luck to begin any new undertaking on any Friday. Working people, of course, consider Friday a very good day and in this culture speak of “blue Mondays”, and expect the worst to happen on a Monday. Traditionally, though, Monday is lucky, except in Russia and Germany; Tuesday is neutral; Wednesday is tricky (because it is believed to be the day Judas betrayed Christ); Thursday is a day of judgement and crisis, and Friday is the worst. Saturday is neutral and Sunday is a day for good luck. Not only uneducated people, but many famous and successful people have been partly guided by superstitious beliefs. Lord Byron, the poet, alternately believed that Fridays were unlucky and attempted to defy fate by starting perilous journeys on Fridays. He set sail from Italy to Greece on a Friday. He completed this journey but died of exposure soon afterwards, also on a Friday. During his lifetime, interviewers of Winston Churchill mentioned that the great British leader thought that Friday was unlucky and avoided traveling then whenever he could. One biographer said that Churchill even went as far as to stay in his room on Friday the 13th. No 13th Floor Belief that the number thirteen is unlucky is so widely held that most hotels, apartment buildings and office buildings omit the thirteenth floor and have no room numbers containing thirteen. Many airlines do not have a flight 13 and no seats with that number. In Paris, that number is not even used in houses - the numbering skips from 12 to 14. Superstitious people in this country were appalled when, in 1980, the Apollo mission that year was numbered Apollo 13. Launched on April 11, the spacecraft had to cancel its moon mission when an oxygen tank exploded on the thirteenth and the crew used the landing module as a lifeboat on the trip back to earth. In Britain, brides choose the day of their wedding from several rhymes, remembered from folklore.

Bruce Vogel Podiatrist Foot Specialist CLUB NAILS A very common occurrence in both men and women is the development of a fungal or club nail. This thickened and many times painful entity has its beginning from a blow to the toenail. It does not have to be one that causes any reaction at the time or even a great deal of pain. Some theories say that too short shoes over a period of time cause "microtrauma” to the nail. Eventually the nail starts to discolor. It may be a brownish color or it may be difficult to detect. Some people have no symptoms and have the malady for years, while others become painful and sometimes infected in a few months. This may be due to different strains of the fungus. There are different types of treatment for the problem depending'bn the severity of the symptoms. They range from oral medi^ti^n, local reduction, to corrective procedures. / * * A public service with the aim of promoting a better foot health environment. From the office of Or.

M. £% Estate RiAiro* TWO YEARS FOR TAX BREAK DECISION If a taxpayer sells his principal residence and buys another one for use as a principal residence within two years before or after the date of sale, the gain on the sale will not lie currently taxed. This holds as long as the cost of the new residence equals or exceeds the selling price of the old. If the cost of the new residence is less than the selling price of the old. the gain is taxed only to the extent of the difference. Where the taxpayer builds, rather than buys, construction must be started from two years before and occupied by two yeais after the sale to get the same tax break. This tax avoidance of the sale profit is calfed “rolling over" a home purchase. But that two year period for decision gives you another option. During that time, you can also opt for the once-in-a lifetime $125,000 exemption of taxes on your profit if you were age 55 or older at the time of the sale. Every time there is a tax change coming out of congress, the tax advantages of homeowning always seem to get better and better. No wonder it’s such an excellent investment.

Jacobsen, Shenandoah National Park Superintendent, Neil G. Wood, 28. of Waynesboro was sentenced to 90 days in jail, three-years probation and was fined S500 for poaching. Wood was arrested by Park Rangers and a Virginia State Game Warden on November 7, 1981, while attempting to shoot a bear confined in a homemade trap located in the Sawmill Run section of the Park. Wood was also charged with trapping and possession of a weapon in the Park. He was tried on July 22. 1982, before U. S. Magistrate Glen E. Conrad in U. S. District Court. Jacobsen said that, "this section should curtail at least one longstanding poaching operation in the Park.” He also said that, “anyone having information concerning suspicious or illegal activities may report it confidentially by calling the office of the Chief Park Ranger at 703-999-2243." a Our Rappahannock Heritage From Both Barrels Vice Presidency Of Gov. Robb By GKOKGK BOVU.KS Ih'iuotTiit S|H*rJal ^ rili-r I came upon my old friend. Randolph Wakefield Westover IV. in Capitol Square the other day. As usual, he was sitting on a bench near the Bell Tower listlessly feeding the squirrels and pigeons. Those who have met the gentleman before in this space know he is a pillar of the state's famed independent conservative coalition. A retired banker, he is a director of a number of prestigeous corporations and utilities. He was once an important lieutenant in the old Byrd organization, but in recent years has devoted his considerable political energies to the advancement of conservative candidates and causes regardless of party. And he has invested much time in pee’ ..g at those points over the political horizon which are beyond the sight or ken of lowly political writers. “How're things looking. Randolph?" I asked. He tossed a squirrel a peanut and glanced up. "The only word which comes to mind." he said soberly, “is dangerous, and that may be understating it!" "What's dangerous. Randolph?" 1 wanted to know. “You mean the special House of Delegates elections we're having this year? The new singlemember districts could sure bring some new faces into the legislature, and get rid of a bunch of old ones." Profound Consequences “The special elections," he answered, "could destroy the House of Delegates as we have known and loved it. But my concern addresses larger matters, and contemplates more profound consequences." “Come on. Randolph!" I exclaimed. “What could he more profound than the composition of the General Assembly?" "The fact that Chuck Rohb is running for vice president." he replied somberly. "Now, Randolph." I said, trying to keep my voice calm. "I am aware that the governor has been getting around the country, and I'm also aware that he is rumored to have national ambitions. But why are you so sure about it?" “Look at the way he is running the governorship." said Randolph. "It's a finely tuned balancing act between what will play well in, say. Spotsylvania County, but will also play well in Oklahoma City or Seattle. Couple this with his personal, political and family connections along with the 'star quality’ people say he has.1 and you've got yourself a national candidate if 1 ever saW one. “I'm not saving Robb would accept the Democratic nomination lor vice president no matter who heads the ticket,” continued Randolph. "He might not if the Democrats pick a Kennedy or a Mondale. But give him an opportunity to run with a moderate who has a chance of winning and mark my words, he'll be available! A pair of moderates could possiblv whip Ron in 84. and that's not all!" "What else?” I asked eagerly. Election Effects "Look at what’s happening," said Randolph. "II Dick Davis wins the Senate race this year, the post of lieutenant governor will he vacant, and there's nothing which says it has to he filled. So Attorney General Jerry Baliles will he next in line for the governorship. Then if Robb becomes vice president, Baliles would become governor in 1985. He wouldn't have been elected to the office, so he could run for re-election that year. It would he the first time in the history of the world that a Virginia governor has run to succeed himself in a popular election. “Not only that, but if Baliles became governor, the Democrat General Assembly would elect an attorney general to till out the last months of his term. So the Republicans might he up against an incumbent attorney general and an incumbent governor in the '85 elections. Worse yet. the Assembly Democrats might elect a woman attorney general to replace Baliles. I understand Del. Mary Sue Terry of Stuart is already thinking about the job." “But Randolph," I asked, "these are all pretty moderate people—hardly wild-eyed liberals—what wjll the independents like you be doing?” "A good question." he conceded. "It will mean many hours of soulsearching at the Club under the portrait of General Lee. We will take communion and meditate as we search for our right and proper course." What Danger? “But you said all this is dangerous. What's the danger?" I asked. "My hoy," he replied, "one danger is that we independents might decide on different courses. There is great uncertainty in the Commonwealth’s political future, and for a pillar of the state’s famed independent. conservative coalition, where there is uncertainty, there is danger. "And you must realize," he concluded darkly, "that something even worse might happen. Why it could lead to the emergence of twoparty politics in Virginia!" Remembering Washington’s Other School By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock Staff I filer Until 1%3, black children in this area attended a school located on Piedmont Avenue. The school, still standing, is now owned by Ed Bailey of Washington and provides two large apartments. Mrs. Lilly Peyton of Washington occupies one of these apartments. and she remember' when she started in school there. “This school was here as long as I can remember...I know my older sisters went here,” Peyton said. She started when she was six, 57 years ago, and remembers that there was “no nonsense” in those days. “Annie Green taught here," she said. "If someone didn’t learn, it was not because of her lack of teaching.” Peyton remembers Mrs. Green as a fair but firm disciplinarian. “She had to keep order • there w ere only two rooms with four grades in each of the rooms. Sometimes there would be fights, awful fights, but she just jumped right in and stopped them." Peyton said that one of her brothers was “always fighting or starting fights.” “He knew he d get paddled every day." she said. "He just wore three or tour pairs of pants.” Other methods employed Mrs. Green were making the unruly children stand on one foot and stationing them in a corner until they calmed down. “Mrs. Green was married to a barber up on Gay Street." Peyton said. "She was sort of a principal as well as a teacher.” Peyton said that the school served black children from around Washington as well as back in the nearby hollows. “Not many folks had horses, and of course, no one had a car.” she said. “Children walked miles to get here and get back home again." Mrs. Green was lucky that none of Peyton’s other siblings displayed the same propensity for fighting as her one brother. Peyton was one of sixteen children, not all of whom survived. “Not only that, but my father had sixteen children by his first wife,” she said. Between them, they must have almost tilled up both rooms of the school, which in its time served about one hundred children. No lunch was served when Peyton attended, but a kitchen was added later so that children could have a hot lunch. "We did have ice cream, though," she said. “The teachers kepi it on ice in the cloak room.” Peyton, who said her favorite subject was arithmetic. remembers that in her day times were hard for most Of the children in the school. “No, it was different then from how kids are today,” she said. “We each had two dresses and when we got home from school Mama washed our dresses and we wore the other one the next day. Mama also made all of our underwear - folks just didn’t buy things then.” In spite of the hard times. Peyton said that the children had fun in school: “We had Mayday, with games and singing, we played ball here. Most of us had work to do at home, but we always tried to do our homework. Mrs. Green saw to that." She also encouraged children to stay in school, in spite of family demands on their time. “A lot of children w ho went here grew up and left," Peyton said. "Me, 1 never left.” Peyton had “the fever" when she was four and it kept her weak as she grew up. Among her fifteen brothers and sisters were three sets of twins. They lived farther down the road from the school, but close enough so that walking there was no problem. “Once the school got so full that the younger children could only come a half day." Peyton said. That made room for the older students to spread out in groups in the afternoons. With only two teachers - one for each side - students had to be divided into groups to work independently. ‘‘Of course, sometimes the older students helped teach the younger ones," Peyton said. The school remained basically a two-room school serving eight grades until it was sold in the early sixties. “1 remember my school days well." Peyton said. "Those were happy days for me. Of course, 1 never ever thought then that I'd be living here.” Now the old cloakroom w here ice cream was served is a second bedroom and the door that used to separate the upper and lower schools has been replaced by a wall. The kitchen area was divided in half to provide a kitchen for each tenant. Lilly Peyton has filled up the large rooms with flowers and pictures. But ou'side the old sliding board, covered with leaves, still stands to remind her of the hundreds of children w ho once slid down its shiny back during a break from Mrs. Green's stringent instruction.

Herd Enrolled Patricia Saltonstal! of Points of View Farm in Flint Hill recently enrolled her herd in the Angus Herd Improvement Records program of the American Angus Association. Angus Herd Improvement Records (AHIR) is a comprehensive with in-herd evaluation program used by cattlemen to help them keep records of reproduction, and growth rate on individual animals. Each year hundreds of Angus breeders use AHIR records to produce more profitable, efficient Angus seedstock. By weighing calves at 205 days of age and again at a vear of age. breeders not only identify the cattle that grow the fastest and most efficiently, they also identify cows that regularly produce above average calves, and bulls that sire outstanding calves. The American Angus Association .in 1957 was the first beef breed organization to offer its members a production records program. I haven’t heard of anybody who wants to stop living on account of the cost. When the first European explorers arrived in America there were about 800,000 Indians here. r oreign & American Car Repairs , Specializing in jj German <X Japanese 1 _ Made Cars Jack’s Service Center 30 Ashby Street Warrenton 347-3785 Adult Program Piedmont Technical Education Center is instituting a pilot program to serve the adult community with vocational job skills.

Friday The Thirteenth (Continued from Page 2) Wed on Sunday, Cupid’s wooing; In the morning, quick undoing. Unsuperstltious President Some of the most interesting stories regarding superstition are those of people going out of their way to defy commonly-held beliefs. One of these was U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, a man not often thought of as having a sense of humor or a whimsical nature. Yet Wilson deliberately planned dinner parties composed of thirteen people. Later, when Wilson's plan for the League of Nations failed, his critics pointed out that he had invited twelve guests to the Versaille Peace Conference and that this flagrant violation of the thirteen taboo may have caused his downfall. In the 1880's, a time when Victorian sensibility included belief in many superstitions, a small band of journalists formed the "London Thirteen Club”, a cynical group dedicated to ridiculing the superstitious beliefs of the day. Among those asked to join was Oscar Wilde, who declined saying. “Don’t make us too offensively sane.” The first dinner was held on Friday, the 13th of January, in 1884. There were six tables with thirteen diners each. Guests were summoned to dinner by the smashing of mirrors and walked into the dining room under the ladder. In further acts of defiance, they were served by cross-eye waiters and they spilled salt from coffin-shaped saltcell. The London Thirteen Club created a furor, with readers of the newspapers reporting on their activities rising up in indignation and outrage.

This group, under the name of the National Committee of Thirteen Against Superstition, Prejudice and Fear, met first on Friday, August 13. The founder, Nick Matsoukas, had been born in Greece on June 13, the 13th child in a family of thirteen children. He and his cronies met on Fridays to walk under ladders, pet black cats, and throw away rabbits feet wherever they could find an audience. The accomplished some of their goals by publicizing these spoofs on superstition and really gained the attention of the American public when they opened an exhibit in the Museum of Natural History in New York City on the next August 13. To enter the exhibit, spectators passed under a line of umbrellas (open of course) and passed by a man smashing mirrors to viewdisplays listing the damage that superstition has done through the years. No Extra Trouble Apparently, none of these spools on superstition are necessary to convince Rappahannock County people that most of t^ese beliefs have no basis in fact. County Sheriff W. A. Buntin said that he never expects any extra trouble on Friday the 13th, but he did say that a full moon tends to mean a busy night for law enforcement officers. Deputy Mark Wittl agreed. Lucy Hodgson admitted that she avoids trouble on the 13th by working in her garden, but added with a smile that she “doesn’t expect any trouble anyway.” Henry Lillard of Amissville said that he has never held with any superstition, and this was the sentiment expressed by other “man on the street" interviews. Howard Coon of Castleton reported that he felt “very positive” about events on Friday the 13th and others said they also looked forward to Friday. A quick review of major tragedies during the past century reinforces the opinion of Rappahannock residents that there is nothing to fear. There have been no more disasters occurring on the 13th than any other day. 'Continued from Page 1 of the time as possible, the doctor added. After three or four outpatient appointments, Neilson said, he and Holmes began to be friends and he started to see the colonel socially as well as professionally. In 1973, Neilson said, one of the tests run on the colonel showed an abnormality of a blood chemical that sometimes indicates liver disease. A liver biopsy was suggested but the Holmes refused, he noted. The colonel’s general health continued to be quite good in 1975-76, despite the minor heart ailment, bladder problem and blood abnormality, Neilson continued. Transferred in July, 1976, to the "Office of the Attending Physician" a downtown dispensary in the Capitol Building, the commander kept on treating Holmes as an out-patient, both at the farm and in his office, frequently sending medicine to Flint Hill by Billy Melton, a lab technician the colonel had met, befriended and invited out to hunt. Called By Krebser In the spring of 1979, Neilson said, he received a call from Dr. Werner Krebser who had seen Holmes at the Rappahannock clinic after the colonel fell and hurt his leg. According to Neilson, Krebser found nothing significantly wrong with the leg but discovered a mass in the abdomen and suggested an x-ray. After discussion, it was decided to have tests run on Holmes at the hospital, Neilson said. RAAC (Continued from Page I in the next few weeks," she said. "Now that we are incorporated and have a set of bylaws it is possible to begin a more active program." Luke said that she “wished to thank all those who have joined thus far." Luke said that at the August meeti 0 the Directors will report on their negotiations with Mr. Carrigan. discuss other options for space, make plans for the block dance, and consider other activities for the year ahead. The Board of Directors also welcomes anv program suggestions. Assistance Needed Author of the Rappahannock Player's fall play, Carla Eugster, said that stand-ins and technical helpers are still needed for the original drama. The play. Neat Year Jerusalem, is scheduled for October 15, 16, and 17. Needed especially are chamber musicians and singers. Eugster said that anyone interested in these positions or in helping the Players with the production in anv way should call her at 987-8913. Tlie alphabet is believed to have been invented by the Semitic people of the Middle East about 1500 BC. Game Meeting The Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries will conduct its next meeting on Friday, August 27, at 4010 West Broad Street in Richmond. Scheduled to begin promptly at 9:30 A.M., the main business to be conducted will be setting of the waterfowl seasons and bag limits for the upcoming hunting season. Also to be considered are the proposed changes to the fishing regulations. Final action on the fish laws will be decided during the October 15 meeting.

Ospl. 4S AN mu LIRE INSURANCE BUYERS GUIDE 1-800*343-3093 r Holmes was admitted in June for two weeks and although Neilson visited frequently, he said, the colonel wasn’t under his care but rather that of doctors on the ward. Neilson added that he kept up with tests and treatment "so 1 could take care of him properly at home.” A liver biopsy showed cirrhosis, the probable cause of the fluid build-up in the colonel’s abdominal cavity and legs, according to Neilson. Low salt diet, diuretics and bed rest, treatment wTiich generally allows the body to clear excess fluids best, improved Holmes’ condition and left him able to walk around, the doctor testified. Liver and heart scans were both done without pinpointing a cause for the colonel's condition, Neilson said. Special slides and stains, part of liver tests, were sent out to other departments for analysis but the results weren’t received during the colonel’s two-week hospitalization in late June, the doctor reported. He described Holmes as "doing quite well” when he was released in July. On a special low salt diet, the colonel was to keep a weight chart at home and in late August, Neilson recalled, his weight began to climb significantly and swelling returned. Driving out to the Flint Hill farm every weekend, the doctor testified, he first prescribed diuretics and antibiotics and when the treatment was unsuccessful. Holmes was re-admitted to Bethesda Hospital on October 9. Results finally received from blood work in July showed rapid deterioration of the liver believed to be caused by an hereditary disorder which the colonel's father also had, according to Neilson. Again on bed rest, duiretics and a low salt diet, the colonel’s fluid buildup began to fall back under control and he dropped 37 pounds in two weeks, the doctor reported. Holmes started to feel better and was able to resume walking around; "his spirits improved.” Neilson said. But a second liver biopsy was ordered on October 24 to determine the cause of the “dramatic change in his clinical condition.” Neilson reported. Preliminary results back the evening of October 26 were consistent with a tumor, he added. Prognosis Revealed The doctors at Bethesda treating Holmes knew Neilson was his "out-patient doctor and friend" and after consultation, it was decided that the Navy commander was the best person to break the news to the patient and discuss what would have to be done in the way of future nursing care, the navy commander said. According to Neilson, he didn't tell the colonel about the tumor since test results weren't finished but informed him that the cirrhosis was “really pretty bad" and that his prognosis looked “rather grim”, estimating a two week survival that could stretch to a year under optimal management. Neilson and Holmes talked about nursing care and where the colonel should go, the doctor continued. The options discussed—either briefly or at length—were to stay at Bethesda, go to his Washington house on Barnaby Street or return to Mary Mellon Orchard in Flint Hill, Neilson said, adding that he argued for the Washington house where Holmes would be near medical facilities and could be kept under closer observation. “He was adament that where he wanted to be was home in Flint Hill," the doctor said. According to Neilson, Holmes indicated he would think the matter over, said he would have to make legal arrangements and asked to continue the discussion the following day. Last Favor On October 27, Neilson s«id he visited Holmes and ’aiKwered more detailed questions about liver disease, medications and nursing care the colonel would require. He described the questions as well thougbt out, logical. “1 was ready to leave and the colonel said he had one more favor to ask, would I mind being present at the signing of a document.” Neilson recalled that he’d offered to be a witness but the colonel said no, he wanted two other witnesses. According to the doctor, he pressed the room buzzer and when no one came, Col. Holmes asked him to go out in the hall and find two people. Neilson said he stopped nurse Daley on her way to answer the colonel’s buzzer and she got Stevenson. The doctor said he stood at the door and watched all three sign the document but that he himself never saw what was on the paper. The witnesses left and Col. Holmes said he had a favor to ask. according to Neilson. that the document represented his death arrangements and that as a “personal favor” he wanted Neilson to keep the document, not let it out of his possession or let anyone else know about it. The doctor stated that Holmes put the paper in a plain envelope which he took that day and locked in a filing cabinet in the nuclear medicine department. Mental Disorder Neilson acknowledged that liver disease can affect the mind but maintained that Col. Holmes showed none of the manifestations, specifically inability to be oriented to place, person and time and a symptomatic Happing of the hands. A patient can have a sick liver up to the terminal stage before manifesting emotional and physical signs of encephalopothy, the mental disorder associated with cirrhosis, he said. Show ing no sign of mental deterioration right up to the day of his discharge, the colonel returned to Flint Hill where he continued under Dr. Neilson's treatment, the doctor said, adding that he saw Holmes when he returned to the farm on November 10 and spoke with him every day or two by telephone. Then on November 16, the commander received a message that his patient had gone into a coma and he drove out to the farm, arriving after the colonel’s death. Stunned By Bequest Remembering the “death arrangements." Neilson said he went into work to get the envelope, found it entirely unchanged, opened it and read the will for the first time. “1 was stunned." the doctor said, adding that he went home and thought about it for two days, finally getting in touch with a lawyer, Roland Hartshorn, who advised him to tile the document for probate. Paul Hatrell from New Orleans, a Navy dentist who met Col. Holmes while stationed at Bethesda in 1%8, and Dwight Moody, both hunting friends of the colonel’s, followed Neilson to the stand and testified as to Holmes’ mental capacities up to a few days before the will signing. Hatrell said the colonel had discussed what he wanted to do with his farm which, along with his dog Duke, was the thing he loved most in life. “He treated Duke like a person," the dentist said. Hatrell told the jury that Holmes’ estrangement from his sister Ruth grew out of her criticism of his friends. He also reported that the colonel had suggested that he, Hatrell, come up with a plan on what to do with the farm after Holmes’ death to ensure that his friends could continue to hunt there. Moody related details of how he’d served as the colonel’s currier from the hospital bed, carrying payment from Bethesda to Flint Hill for apple pickers and other farm operations. Dr. Jeffrey Crane from Bethesda Naval Hospital said he’d assisted in the treatment of Col. Holmes as ward resident, seeing him daily until his discharge in November. He described the colonel as alert and oriented but depressed. The depression was normal in view of his diagnosis, the doctor said, adding that it didn't affect the colonel’s mental soundness. Dr. Robert Slease, another naval physician assigned to Bethesda during the colonel’s hospitalization, testified that he'd visited the farm in Flint Hill with his triend Dr. Neilson and found Holmes a “very solicitous host.” In the basis of his observations, he described the colonel’s feelings for his doctor as "paternal.” Billy Mellon, a iat> technician at the Office of the Attending Physician, testified that he met Holmes at the Capitol dispensary when the colonel came there to see Neilson and had been invited by the colonel to the Flint Hill farm. "Either he liked you or he didn’t," Melton said, describing Holmes as “extremely strong minded.” He told the court that he drove Holmes to the city on October 8 for his last hospital admission, stopping at Tom Lee's apple shed on the way to inquire about getting pickers for the crop at Mary Mellon Orchard. Later, Melton said, he brought a suitcase with papers to the hospital and subsequently saw the colonel working on papers. He visited the colonel regularly during that last hospitalization and found Holmes mentally alert but depressed. "He became more and more insistent on going back to the farm after he found out he was dying," noted Melton, who now manages the orchard and whose son works and lives at the farm. Nothing Wrong With Mind Rappahannock farmer and ofchardist Tom Lee said he’d last talked with Holmes in October and discussed the $700,000 Sought For Sewer Continued from Page 1 Information on how the remaining 34 points under relative need will be awarded has not been released by the state, he noted. Capelle expects Rappahannock to make a good showing, however, in accumulating a respectable number of points on the relative need portion of the grant awards system. “There are other localities with higher unemployment and lower average income that will rank higher but we don't know how many ot them will apply. They may not have projects,” the planning district director said. Earning the other half of the 100 points depends r itirely on how well Sperryville's sewer project can be justified in the block grant application form itself, Capelle explained. "All the pieces are there...It looks like we’ve got a good shot,” he said, reluctant to be any more specific on the odds for Sperryville’s sewer project securing the $700,000 from the block grant program. According to Capelle, the picture won't get any clearer until the grants are actually announced by the Governor’s office, expected to happen in early November. Until that time, engineering work on final design of the innovative septic tank effluent pump (STEP) collection system and conventional package treatment plant is on hold. "What’s been done to date is more than enough for the block grant application." Capelle said, adding that the engineers will be directed to resume design work the day the block grant is awarded. In the meantime, as part of procedures called for in the block grant program, the Rappahannock supervisors have scheduled a public hearing on the funding application for Monday, August 16. at 10 a.m. in the courthouse. + + + Berlin started out divided in the 13th century.

Describing himself as a friend and orchard adviser to Holmes since the colonel came to Rappahannock 25 to 30 years ago, Lee said that Col. Holmes had told him in conversations of March and September, 1979, that he didn’t plan on leaving any part of his estate to his sister, in fact, said Lee, Holmes said he didn't want to leave “anything to anybody around here.” In addition, he testified, the colonel was “always bragging on his doctor he had at the navy hospital...He said he wouldn't fool with no doctors around here...He talked about his (navy) doctor evervtime 1 went there (to the farm in 1979) but he never did call his name. He said he was a good medical doctor and that he took good care of him.” Edward Shokes, for years an orchard spray salesman to farmers in Rappahannock and throughout the area, told the court that the day he met Ruth Holmes and Betty Paleologos at the colonel’s farm. Holmes mused aloud after the pair had left, “1 wonder why Betty’s so nice to Ruth?" According to Shokes. Holmes noted on other occasions that his sister “had plenty” and would never want for anything. Shokes testified that the colonel spoke highly of a “young doctor in nuclear medicine” without mentioning the physician by name and asked the orchard spray salesman for his business card. “He said he was going to give the card to this doctor so he could get in touch with me about the orchard.” Under cross examination, Shokes repeated what other witnesses said of the colonel’s love for his dog Duke. In drives around the orchard—the colonel never walked, according to testimony—“Duke went in the car with us, whether he was muddy or not." Shokes said. It the dog was muddy and the orchard spray salesman didn’t want to sit in the front seat with Duke, “I sat in the back!" Shokes related how the dog wandered off during one orchard inspection. The colonel "made me wait 45 minutes until he found him! He loved that dog," Shokes said. Bruce Lloyd, cardiologist at Bethesda Hospital and final defense witness, testified that he saw Col. Holmes three or four times a week during his last hospitalization and never observed symptoms or behavior which would cause him to doubt the soundness of the patient’s mind.

Cannon (703) 937-4700 Cost Estimates Outstrip Budget For Bus Shop/Office ivAHiimucu irum rage i; to higher interior costs and ma y present construction problems. Brown explained. Local Costa High In arriving at building costs, the architect continued, he used national averages adjusted for Culpeper, the closest locality on which he had “hard data”. “Costs in this area tend to be slightly less than the national average but not much less," Brown said, adding that construction costs are lower in other portions of Virginia. He emphasized that what he presented to the board was not a cost estimate but rather a budget analysis. “We’re trying to determine what type of costs to plan for so we have to go with what a building of this type costs generally," he said. To do an actual cost estimate, the board must first decide on design and type of materials, Brown added. The board met with the architect for over an hour in executive session last Wednesday to discuss the dollar figures in the MoselyHenning report. Returning to open meeting after the architect departed, Rappahannock’s school board members agreed to ask the architectural firm for a construction program based on the concept of a metal Butler-type building to hous both the vehicle maintenance facility and the central office according to the design set out in Lane's drawing and upped the ante $500 over the original $2,500 contract with Mosely-Henning for the redesign. Scaled Down On Tuesday, Brown was back with scaled down plans. Dropped from the proposal were the extra vehicle maintenance bay and the lift, although the architect noted that he would never suggest a vehicle maintenance facility without a vehicle lift unless specifically instructed by the board to do so. The square footage in the bus shop was reduced to 2,450 and the office to 1,872, leaving the total about 100 square feet more than the area shown in Lane’s original drawing. To meet code requirements, Brown said, he increased the square footage in the bathrooms to meet handicapped needs and added a janitor’s sink. Initially, the school board had proposed using the space above the office section of the building as a storage area. According to the code, a general storage area, classified as a moderately hazardous use, must be separated from the office by the same 12 inch fire wall required between the office and bus shop. also moderately hazardous use. Brown reported. Therefore, he proposed putting the storage area on the same side of the fire wall as the bus shop, rather than above the school board office. The chain link fence around the bus parking area, gas storage tanks, graveled bus parking lot and paved office parking lot included in the proposal submitted the previous week were shown as extras in Tuesday’s plan and not included in the mysterious bottom line figure. Brown noted that the secret number covered only the combination metal building and site preparation. Next Summer Completion In addition to the price tag, the time frame for completion gave the board pause. Adding up the time specified last week for each phase of the project —schematic design, design development, construction, bidding and negotiating and construction a d - ministration—the completion date worked out to around May 1, 1983. On Tuesday, superintendent Estabrook asked if that still held. "I suspect it would be actually later than that... I don’t think the project could be underway in time to beat the winter (when temperatures drop too low for foundation work),” Brown answered, giving a new estimate for completion of early or mid-summer. The board took no action on the Mosely-Hennir* proposal. ”1 have evt r reason to believe” that the board can get another architectural opinion on cost of the combination building that is “much lower,” board member Robert Eastham said. Lane proposed asking the individual who gave him the original estimate on putting up a pre-engineered metal building complete for office and bus shop at the ball park amount of $90,000 to provide the board with further information and justification for that figure. Eastham suggested that the county contractor with a class “A” license who spent two days discussing the building project with the board at no cost be invited back as well to re-evaluate construction estimates. “I’m fighting for my guy,” countered Lane, referring to the gentleman whose cost projections were used at the outset of plans for building the combination bus shopoffice. Committee Named Chairman Massie emphasized that the board had made no commitments to anyone and cautioned against supporting individual contractors. As chairman, Massie continued, she has the right to appoint committees and named Lane and Randall Updike, absent from Tuesday’s session, to meet with Estabrook and come up with a recommendation on what to do next: whether to proceed with MoselyHenning, secure services of another consultant or ask other construction experts to speak with the board. "It ain't going to work, Mrs. Massie,” interjected Robert Eastham. “I give up. I quit—I have no idea what you’re trying to do at all—None whatsoever,’’ he announced, stomping from the meeting room. "You’re just pushing it off another week or two or three.” Lane said, adding that he would get the in Peach Harvest Light - By THERESA REYNOLDS Kn|»|Mihami'K'k Nrn» Stuff % rit**r In spite of frosts late last spring that virtually wiped out peach crops further south, Rappahannock County peach growers report satisfactory yields from local orchards. “We’re not seeing huge peach crops in the county." said Rap Owings, Rappahannock County extension agent. ‘‘But growers are picking good-quality peaches and the failure of southern peach crops means that local fruit should command a good price." Owings said that peach orchards in Rappahannock are mostly small commercial concerns without the large-scale packing and shipping of the later apple harvest. Jerry Jenkins of Woodville is one of the larger peach orchardists in the county, Owings said. Mrs. Jennkins said, that while peach harvests are not as large as in some years past, it has been a "pretty good year.” The Jenkins have Sunhaven, Red Haven, and Champs available now. Their peaches are marketed locally at fruit stands, are trucked into Manassas for sale there, and are also harvested on a pickyour-own basis. The Louis Moore family of Flint Hill also grows peaches, harvesting “ten or eleven varieties ', according to Mrs. Moore. The Moores market their peaches locally but do not offer a pick-your-own service. Some varieties available are Georgia Belle, Madison and Sun Bright as well as Red Haven. Mrs. Moore said that they also have plums for sale at their farm on the Fodderstack Road. She said that the peach harvest is “not as heavy as last year, but they have done all right." Ted and Georgia Walsworth have a small peach orchard near Washington and report smaller yields this year, but peaches of good size and quality. The Walsworths specialise in fruit that has been treated with low-toxicity sprays and market their fruit at local fruit stands as well as having a pick-your-own business. They suggest that peach pickers call ahead on weekdays. Tom and Loretta Lee are selling peaches at their orchard on Rt. 628. Mrs. Lee said that this year’s crop was \ light but that those interested in buying can call ahead. She Recipes For Locally-Grown Fruit Not only recipes, but tips for preserving precious summer fruit have been contributed this week by Rappahannock orchardists and other local cooks. Mrs. Jerry Jenkins of Woodville, who with her husband, operates a peach orchard there, cans her peaches using the cold-pack method and processes them for twenty minutes in a hot water bath. She makes a syrup using 18 cups of water to 5 lbs of sugar. Mrs. Jenkins prefers peach halves for canning, and she especially likes Red Haven because of its attractive appearance in the jars. For jam and peach preserves, Mrs. Jenkins prefers to use nectarines. 'Then you don’t have to peel them," she said. “Just chop them up and go on with your recipe." Mrs. Louis Moore of Flint Hill dries her plums, scalding them first to remove the wax on the skin, dipping them in cold water, halving them, and spreading them out in a warm place. She sometimes freezes the plums, both pitted and with their pits in, to use for jam later. Loretta Lee has devised a way to prevent canned applesauce from molding. She puts the hot sauce into the jars, adds the lids that have been held in boiling water, and pours more boiling water over the lids to complete the seal. “I’ve never had any to mold this way," she said. Mrs. Lee recommends Rambos for applesauce. Georgia Walsworth came across a recipe a few weeks ago for a summer drink that’s as delicious as it is simple: Fruilatta Dl Fruits 1 cup milk 2-3 peaches Honey or sugar to taste Peel the peaches, add to milk in a blender, and blend until smooth. Add honey or sugar to taste. Other recipes to make use of local fruit: Peach and Melon Salad 1 small cantaloupe, diced 2 cups peaches, peeled and sliced V* cup orange juice '/« cup sliced almonds, toasted 2 tablespoons lemon juice '/« cup sugar.
