Rappahannock News, August 19, 1982

V J. ~ WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA Phone 673-3349 25' Board Denies Information Request Assistant superintendent Gerald Lysik presented the school board with a report on index salary schedules at last week's board meeting in compliance with a request for the information made three months ago. The report shows current salaries paid to 25 different categories of school system employees as a percentage of this year’s $12,192 starting teacher pay, the base of the index scale. Called Wednesday morning after the board meeting and asked for a copy of the document, Lysik said he had no problem in supplying the Rappahannock News with the material but added he first had to check with the superintendent and board chairman Beverly Massie. Thursday, when a reporter stopped at the school board office. Lysik announced that the chairman had refused to allow the report to be released, claiming that it was a working document and thus exempt from Freedom of Information, the same argument used at the August 4 and 10 meetings in denying the News a copy of preliminary architectural reports on the proposed school board office-bus shop. The News has, however, obtained a copy of the page on teachers’ salaries which applies an artificial index to show the relationship of wages on the existing, nonindexed pay scale. The remaining nine pages reportedly show salaries of non-cert ified staff, such as secretaries, aides, custodians, bus drivers, and cafeteria workers, as a percentage of this year’s first year teacher pay, using the same artificial index. (Continued on Page 6) Psychiatric Exam Ordered For Robber By LORR IE YOUNG Ka|>|uibannock Nitt* Special I rilcr In General District Court on Tuesday, Judge John Alexander ordered a psychiatric examination for Clarence Anthony Stewart after he waived his right to a preliminary hearing. Stewart is being held on credit card ' theft, unauthorized possession of a credit card, breaking and entering, and petty larceny in connection with a robbery at the home of Brian Patterson. Proceedings had begun for the preliminary hearing with David Konick representing Stewart as his court appointed lawyer. Stewart interruped, arguing with the Judge that he didn’t want a preliminary hearing. “I don’t want a lawyer. I said that the last time,” he insisted. Judge Alexander found it permissable for Stewart to waive his right to a preliminary hearing but Konick questioned whether his client was mentally capable of making such a decision. The lawyers approached the bench and after a short discussion it was decided that Dr. Bill Young would examine Stewart and after that examination, it would be determined whether or not the preliminary proceedings would be completed. Ann Charges Certified In another preliminary hearing in Tuesday’s session, arson charges against Robert Quintim Fincham were certified to the Grand Jury after testimony of several witnesses and the submission of crucial evidence. The fires in question took place on March 29 on Route 662. April 4 on Route 611, April 5 on Route 611. April 6 on Route 645. April 20 on Route 639, April 23 on Route 639.

Him hin-.n CANCER VOLUNTEERS Julie Konick, Joanne Bankston and Ethel Bailey look over questionnaires which will be used in Cancer Prevention Study II. a research project of the American Cancer Society which will begin nationwide in September. Research Project Begins Starting September 1. 1982 residents of Rappahannock County will have a chance to participate in medical research. During September, volunteers of the American Cancer Society will be encouraging their friends and relatives to take part in Cancer Prevention Study 11. The study will be the Society's second major research endeavor to learn how lifestyle and environmental factors influence cancer and other diseases. One of the largest epidemiologic research projects ever to be carried out in the U.S. the study will involve more than one million American men and women from all racial, ethnic, and economic groups. “With i n fo rm a t io'n provided by study participants in Rappahannock and all over the country, we hope to identify those factors that increase a person’s chance of getting cancer, those that carry little or no risk, and those that actually may help prevent cancer," said Julie Konick, chairman of the research effort in the county. “We'll then be able to develop programs to help people follow lifestyles that minimize their cancer risk," The first Cancer Prevention Study, conducted from 1959-1972, identified mans factors related to the development of cancer and other diseases. The link between cigarette smoking and lung cancer and heart disease seas an important outcome of the study, and helped to initiate the public health campaign against smoking. The study also revealed the relationship of obesity to certain cancers, the profile of women at high risk for cervical cancer, and the role of exercise in preventing heart attacks and strokes. Though conceived along the lines of the first study, Cancer Prevention Study 11 will break new ground in (Continued on Page 2) Land Use Still Uncertain By DAPHNK HITCHINSOIN Knpiuihnnnock >en* Staff ^ rit«-r The extension of use value taxation to Rappahannock landowners in the tax year which begins January I. 1983. appears to hinge on an opinion from Virginia's Attorney General. At the Rappahannock board's August 2 meeting, the supervisors received a written letter from commonwealth's attorney Douglas Baumgardner noting that a “substantial question” exists on whether preferential treatment of taxing qualifying land at its use value rather than fair market value can be continued in 1983. In adopting use value in June, 1980, the supervisors specified that it was for a period of one year with subsequent study and review. Baumgardner pointed out in his letter that the Virginia Code specifies that land use 5 shall not be applicable unless t an ordinance is adopted by < the governing body not later I than June 30 of the year previous to the year when 1 such taxes are first assessed '• and levied. At the very least, ! the board's legal advisor ' concluded, the supervisors < will have to pass an or- I dinance prior to January I I extending land use into the ' future. But since the June 30 deadline has passed, the • county may have no alter- * native other than to discontinue its general land ' use program effective 1 January 1, 1983, Baumgardner added, informing the supervisors that ' he would research the issue. In response, the board set a special meeting for August 16. But on Monday, Baumgardner still had no "firm opinion" on extending use value. "I'm inclined to ay that it' the board decides o extend use value, it can be lone, even at this late date." le announced.

Moff VI rit.r The Washington Town Council discussed dogs running at large in the town at its August meeting, and set a public hearing on a proposed ordinance addressing the problem. The hearing will be at the next town council meeting, Wednesday, September 8, at 7:30. The ordinance statesi in part, that “a dog shall be deemed to be running at large while roaming, running or self-hunting off the property of its owner or custodian and not under its owner’s or custodian's immediate control. Any person who permits his dog to run at large shall be deemed to have violated the provisions of this ordinance." The ordinance has been drafted in response to complaints by town residents and town council members that dogs loose in the town are frightening citizens. A similar ordinance was suggested two years ago by concerned townspeople but e two considerations com- j plicated the issue. a First, there was no con- j census as to whether a dog could be considered [ "restrained" it' under control ( of his owner, even if not on a . ( leash. Second, enforcement could not be worked out. t Joking estimates by Mayor ( New bill Miller projected casts of enforcement at "SI.000 > per dog." i These difficulties post- | poned consideration of the | ordinance twice, until Finally the idea was dropped in j September of 1980. 1 i Problems ot enforcement were not worked out at last Wednesday's meeting either but it was agreed that a warning would be issued for the first offense, and a fine would be levied for- the second offense. "The warning would be [ given by the mayor, right?" asked eouncilwoman Dorothy Haw kins. “I will do il it' that's what vervbody wants," said 1 iller. “We need to work out fine schedule before the ublic hearing." “At least ten dollars." said lawkins. “Then we'll know hat one time will be iiough." "If the dog has no tag, hen he is in violation of the ounty law,” said the mayor. Then we can call the dog warden. But most of these logs here have tags .... we >eed to identify and apirehend the dog." "It's no problem to ct entity the dog," said lawkins. "But most of the ncidents that frighten people ire with children or old •eople. They’re unable to ipprehend the dog." “As long as there is a it ness, that would be nough." said Miller. The council agreed to set a •ublic hearing lor the Sepember meeting. (Continued on Page 2) Holmes Estate Trial Opponents Charge Will Was Fraudulently Altered By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON RapiwhaniMirk Vw» Staff Wrilrr Part II: The Plaintiff s Case The echoes of the first words in the plaintiffs opening statement were still hanging in the air when an objection signaled the start of a procedural battle which dominated the fourth day of the Holmes Estate trial. Dr. Peter Nielsen’s side, represented by Roland Hartshorn from Alexandria and local lawyers Peter Luke and George Davis, had rested their case. On behalf of Betty Paleologos, challenger of Col. Earl Holmes' bequest of his entire $1.8 million estate to Dr. Nielson, attorney Larry Elgin in his opening statement told the jury “we will show evidence that what he (Col. Holmes) thought he was signing was different” than the document that was actually witnessed and executed on October 27, 1979. Elgin's contention provoked an immediate objection. Referring to authorities and precedents stacked on the table beside him, Luke argued that the plaintiffs hadn’t charged fraud by trickery or deceit in their pleadings and therefore, under procedural rules, were prohibited from introducing evidence on that point. “The only thing we need to plead is that this is not the will of Col. Holmes,” Elgin countered, pointing to' the typed, one-paragraph document. He maintained that Mrs. Paleologos’ side is entitled to show every suspicious circumstance related to the execution of the alleged will. "To be frank,” he acknowledged, “deceitful fraud was only discovered in the last few weeks.” But, the attorney added, if the court rules that evidence of fraud through trickery must be pled before evidence on that point can be presented, then the plaintiffs wanted permission from the judge to add it to their pleadings. Groaaly Unfair Luke argued that his side had relied on the charges placed formally against the will in preparing their case. He claimed it would be “grossly unfair" and a possible “abuse of the court’s discretion” if judge Shore Robertson allowed pleadings to be amended after the defense had rested its case. The trial “stands in serious jeopardy.” Robertson replied, adding that he faced a “difficult dilemma" in resolving the question of whether (1) to allow evidence of fraud to be introduced and (2) to permit pleadings to be changed to include fraud by trickery or deceit (fraud in factum) as opposed to fraud through undue influence (fraud in inducement). Elgin maintained that the defendant's own witness, Sgt. Stevenson, raised the question of fraud by trickery by testifying that the document he signed in the colonel’s hospital room on October 27, 1979, was much larger than the proported will exhibited as evidence in the courtroom. The proponents of the will were misled by pleadings that specified one t^pe of fraud—undue influence or fraud in the enducement—against which they had prepared to defend. Judge Robertson agreed. If the court allowed the pleadings to be amended to include fraud by trickery, then the defendants would be entitled to a mistrail or a continuance, he said. On the other hand, the judge pointed out, if he disallows the request to amend pleadings, the plaintiffs "will be denied a chance to present what they deem to be critical evidence." With the jury excused, attorney David Konick told the court that the plaintiffs side will show Col. Holmes thought he was signing a hospital release form on October 27. The release form had been altered to provide extra space above the signature lines and after the colonel signed, the will was typed into the blank space and the release form portion was cut away, he maintained. Konick added that expert witnesses on contested documents would testify that the paper alleged to be the colonel’s will had been a xerox machine, cut two ways in a paper cutter and taken, in and out of a typewriter between the time the signature was added and the body of the will typed. Maintaining that he was ‘‘virtually hamstrung and incapable of giving equity to both parties” in making a decision. Judge Robertson asked the plaintiffs to make a written proffer of testimony on the altered document theory bv 8:30 the following morning. Three Crooks When the court reconvened out of the presence of the jury early Friday Nielson’s attorney. Roland Hartshorn, voiced sharp criticism of tactics used by the plaintiff's lawyers, charging that they’d contacted and attempted to intimidate witnesses and had told people in the Rappahannock community that “the other side is represented by three of the biggest crooks in the country." He characterized the contention that the will had been fraudulently altered as “theories of imagination and air castles” and asked the judge to “throw the daydreams out” and try the case properly. Konick categorically denied calling Hartshorn, Luke or George Davis crooks. He acknowledged discussing the case with Dot Irvine, a mutual friend and former employee of Davis and Luke who did some typing work tor the defendants in the case. Konick recalled telling her “before you get involved any further, I think you should know what you’re helping.” He charged that Luke was "lying in wait” tor the plaintiffs to bring up the issue of fraud by trickery, armed with authorities and precedents on amended pleadings well researched in advance “so where’s the surprise?” he asked. 1 told Dot Irvine this theory two weeks ago and obviously she told them, so where's the surprise?” “The door to this evidence was opened by their own witness (Sgt. Stevenson),” Konick continued. "He got up here and told the truth. He said ‘the document I signed was much bigger’ and he had the alleged will in his hand the whole time he was testifying." the lawyer argued. noting that Stevenson had pointed to an 8‘/j inch by 14 inch piece of paper when asked the size of the document he signed on October 27. (The will introduced as evidence measured 7% by IV* inches.) Changed Memory' In a deposition given before the trial by nurse Georgia Liston Daley, she didn't remember if she’d read the document before signing il as a witness in the Bethesda hospital room. Konick noted. The colonel himself never referred to the paper as a will, only as a document, he emphasized. "It will be a miscarriage of justice if this jury doesn’t get to hear our evidence." Konick concluded. The plaintiffs also read the judge a sworn statement dated March I, 1982. Irom Lvnn Boone, intern on the ward during the colonel's final hospitalization, who had noted in the colonel’s medical records on the day the will was signed that he was mentally competent. In her statement given to a Naval investigator in California. Boone reported that she'd been asked bv Nielson “a tew days prior to Col. Holmes being discharged" to make a note of his mental state on his chan. (Boone's statement never went to the jury. He was ruled heresay and thus inadmissable by the court.) Reaching "the least damaging solution.-' Robertson decided that since the case was expected to continue lor a week or more, he would allow evidence on the altered document theory, maintaining that the defendants would have time to react to the allegations. But he also noted his general authority to ■ .1 aside the jury's verdict it he found it contrary to the evidence. Warden’s Testimony Rappahannock game warden Jim Bankston, first witness for the plaintiffs, told the jury that in June, 1976, Col. Holmes called him to the farm to pick up an orphaned fawn In conversation that day. Bankston recalled, the colonel was very decisive and organized about what he was doing and what he wanted. Called In Holmes to the (arm again in the summer ot 1979 to deal with a heaver problem. Bankston said that on his second visit the colonel met him wearing bedroom slippers, "his clothing in disarray." His conversation was "kind of contused." the warden said, explaining that Holmes didn't recognize him and insisted that a park ranger had picked up the law n on that earlier occasion. After spending 45 minutes with the colonel. Bankston recalled. Holmes still couldn't make up his mind on what he wanted the warden to do about the beavers. He described Col. Holmes as "an entirely different person" on that (Continued on Page 8) For The Plaintiffs Skrtchra by JOY T. LUKE WILLIAM CASSELMAN LARRY ELGIN DAVID KONICK

Research Project Begins (Continued from Page 1) areas of investigation. "CPS II will be even more timely and more inclusive than CPS I, and will respond directly to public anxieties and frustrations about our environment: what is carcinogenic and what is safe," said Dr. Robert V. P. Hutter, President of the American Cancer Society. Ndtes Lawrence Garfinkel, Vice President of Epidemiology and Statistics for the ACS. and Director of Cancer Prevention Study II. “Since our first study was conducted, changes have taken place in the way we live, the food we eat, and the products we use. We’re anxious to see how such changes have affected our health risks." Study participants will complete a confidential questionnaire about their working, living, and eating habits. Covered in the fourpage questionnaire are such topics of concern as low-tar, low-nicotine cigarettes, birth control pills, coffee, hair dyes, and saccharin. Also to be analyzed are air and water pollution, occupational exposures, and low level radiation. The task of enrolling the million study participants falls to a dedicated army of more than 80,000 American Cancer Society volunteers. In Rappahannock, Konick and her assistants, Joanne Bankston and Ethel Bailey, will enlist the needed subjects. Participants will be expected to complete and return questionnaires to research volunteers by the end of the second week in September.

"We’re very grateful for the enormous contribution the volunteer researchers will make to Cancer Prevention Study II. Without their donating time and energy, the cost of undertaking such a comprehensive study will be prohibitively expensive,” Konick said. Goal $1,000 At the same time that the volunteer researchers are preparing to enlist participants in Cancer Prevention Study II, other local volunteers are mounting a last ditch effort to reach the “fair share" goal set for Rappahannock in the annual cancer fund drive held in April. According to Helen Snead, president of the Rappahannock unit, that goal is still almost $1,000 away. The money collected in the fund drive goes to pay for research like the study project as well as for laboratory research aimed at finding a cure for the disease. But even of greater importance to local people, the money also comes back to the county unit to use for cancer detection clinics, cancer awareness programs, a loan closet of materials and equipment made available to cancer patients, assistance in arranging transportation to treatment for cancer patients and a list of other projects. Although the fund drive officially ended in the last of April, the Rappahannock unit is still accepting donations, hoping to meet this year’s goal. Checks made out to the Cancer Society may be mailed to the local unit in care of Helen Snead in Washington. Virginia. Contributions may also be given to any member of the Rappahannock Unit of the American Cancer Society. +++ The total amount of solar energy striking Earth is the equivalent of 115 million nuclear plants, National Geographic reports. +++ Egypt’s 42 million people use only 4 percent of the nation’s land, according to the National Geographic.

The size of the fires were small with the largest amount of acreage burned being two square acres. The fires did not involve any personal injury or damage to buildings or structures. Records submitted to the court as evidence by Deputy John Henry Woodward, who is also Chief of the Castleton Volunteer Fire Department, showed the Fincham, a member of the Castleton squad, was present on the three calls to fires that were set in the month of May. The records of the fire department are logged after each run and consist of the time of the call, the time the unit returns, where the fire is, the type of fire, the extent of the damage, the vehicle used and the men who go on the run. Woodward said. The most damaging evidence was presented by Frank Jessup, who is assistant special agent for the arson division of the Virginia State Police. Jessup said he was brought to Rappahannock County to investigate the rash of burnings involving state property. On June 2, Jessup interviewed Fincham at the Sheriff’s office after first meeting him at the scene of the March 29 fire in Viewtown where Fincham showed Jessup where he was standing, what Leash Law (Continued from Page 1) Town Identity “One other thing is bothering me,” said the Mayor. "1 think that our town is rapidly losing its identity by its proper name. I don't know exactly what to do about this ... it doesn’t really offend me.” “Oh, yes, it must, or you wouldn’t bring it up,” said Hawkins. “You’re referring to people calling the town ‘Little Washington'. I detest it. I'm always correcting people." “I don't mind so much when it’s done affectionately." said Miller. “But it’s a commercial thing. I know earlier inhabitants were extremely offended by it.” “Yes, indeed," said Taylor Updike. “I’ve seen fights over it. And this is true: I was at Skippy’s one day and somebody came by and asked where was the Capitol." “Let’s all think about it and see what we can come up with in September," said Miller.

Upon arrival at the Sheriffs office Jessup read Fincham his miranda rights and had him sign a statement that he understand what his rights were. After this transpired Jessup said he questioned him about the fires and found out that Fincham was the person who reported the March 29 fire. “I knew that he had done them after talking to him,” the investigator said. Jessup reported that he asked Fincham if he had set the fires and Fincham admitted to his involvement. Jessup stated that Fincham confessed because “he knew that 1 knew that he had done it." After the confession, Jessup said he had Fincham mark on a diagram where he started the fires. Then Jessup went one step further and took Fincham to the sights of the fires, where Fincham stood and pointed to the spot where he started each fire, action that the arson investigator photographed. With little discussion at the end of all the testimony. Judge Alexander certified the case to the Grand Jury, including the pictures, as evidence. ^xx,xxx;xXXXXXXX>S W.N.

REALTY WORLD • &Un Jl. 9, Estate *T KIAITO* SIGNS AND MUSHROOMS In the spring, "for-sale” signs pop up like mushrooms after the rain. Many prospective sellers wait until the tulips bloom thinking that their homes will bring a better price in a lush setting. Spring is not necessarily the best time to sell your house. Perhaps you do not realize that large companies inform their employees of transfers shortly after the first of the year. Consequently, we see many transferees, (some of our finest buyers) before the bloom of spring. Although these people come early in the year, they will gladly wait until the school year ends to make their move to the area. During the months between notification and the actual move, the buyer is most anxious tor the security of an established address in his new town. If you are thinking ot selling your house, we will be happy to give you all the fix-it-up advice you need, if any.

Inc Member, Audit Bureau ot Circulation Thursday, August 19, 1982 More Secrecy The Rappahannock School Board has long been infamous for its secrecy. Our school board members are the only board we know of anywhere in the state that regularly meets for two. three, even four or more hours in executive session. Earlier this year, after being advised to the contrary by the commonwealth’s attorney, the board members went so far as to ask their special outside lawyer if they could hold private meetings over coffee in their homes. This month, they’ve taken their penchant for secrecy even a step further, denying the press copies of documents they discussed in public, documents they maintain are “working papers’’ and thus exempt from requirements for disclosure spelled out in Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act. When they told the Rappahannock News at the August 10 meeting that we couldn’t have an architect’s report, recommendations and budget analysis on the proposed bus shop-central office, we asked for the refusal in writing. When we were told again last week that we couldn’t have a copy of the assistant superintendent’s report on a suggested index salary scale, we asked again for a written refusal covering both the index scale report and the architect’s report. We were informed that we had to wait for confirmation coming from the school board’s attorney. That confirmation, over the signature of superintendent Robert Estabrook, was delivered Monday afternoon. Dealing only with the architectural program and budget cost analysis in connection with the construction of a new school administrative facility. the letter specifies the following grounds for refusal: “(II The Virginia Freedom of Information Act Exempts from its disclosure requirements the ‘memoranda, working papers and correspondence held or requested by...(theI chief executive officer of the political subdivision of the Commonwealth...’ At this time, the documents requested constitute working documents of the Superintendent since they pertain to preliminary recommendations and analysis, the details of which are discussed only in Executive Session. “(21 Pursuant to the provisions of 2.1-344 and 2.1-342 (111, the documents pertain to items discussed in appropriate Executive Sessions relating to condition, acquisition or use of real property for public purpose, and the investing of public funds where competition or bargaining is involved where disclosure of information would adversely affect the financial interests of the School Board - ’’ " The Arguments We’ll take the arguments one at a time. We doubt whether the Virginia General Assembly meant superintendents to qualify as “chief executive officers” of any political subdivision of the Commonwealth. The section of the Freedom Of Information Act which includes that reference reads in full. “Memoranda, working papers and correspondence held by members of the General Assembly or by the office of the Governor of Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General or the mayor or other chief executive officer of any political subdivision of the State or the president or other chief executive officer of any state-supported institutions of higher education.” Where does a superintendent of schools fit on that list? In an attorney general’s opinion given fn March, 1976, records of a county administrator, as chief executive officer of a county, were ruled exempt from required disclosure. The exemption for the county administrator, however, has no application to official records of the board of supervisors, which records are required to be disclosed under that opinion. If the supervisors can’t qualify as chief executive officers, how does a superintendent of schools? As to adversely affecting the financial interests of the school board, the architect who presented the report emphasized repeatedly that it didn't contain cost estimates on construction but only a budget analysis for planning purposes. The dollar figures included were national averages for building a similar structure, he explained, with those averages adjusted to reflect local costs for materials and labor, in this case using “hard data” from Culpeper County. Cost Projections Important If a rough estimate on the price tag for construction will compromise a bidding process months later, the school board better inform the supervisors. After all. Rappahannock's }. governing body has over the years freely released projections on cost; for a new clerk's office, for renovation work \ in the old clerk’s office building and the courthouse and most recently for remodeling the jail to meet state standards. Maybe the supervisors realize that a contractor is not going to spend hours thumbing through back issues of the Rappahannock News when a project is put out on bids looking for the original ball park estimates on cost. Maybe the supervisors realize that a contractor in arriving at a bid works with two fixed items—his price for labor and materials—and then adjusts his profit margin on down from IS percent, depending on how bad he wants the job. And what’s changed since 1976 when the Committee to Study Space Needs at Rappahannock County High School chaired by the same Beverly Massie who now chairs the school board estimated that construction to ease overcrowding at the high school would cost around $266,800 for a cafeteria, kitchen and library expansion, alterations to the central and guidance offices, four classrooms and two toilets? What's changed since March of 1979 when the school board’s special capital outlay committee unveiled a proposal for expansion at the high school and the elementary school and construction of a new central office and bus shop, the total package estimated to cost $1.4 million? But whatever the justification given for refusal to release the architect’s report and the report on an indexed salary scale, the public’s right to know how public business is being conducted is at stake here. Your Right To Know If the school board can call those two documents “working papers of a chief executive officer,” then any report prepared by the superintendent or submitted to him could be kept away from the eyes of the public up until the minute that the report or proposal is finally adopted. That means we can be denied a look at plans for a high school expansion or a proposed budget until after-the-fact, until after approval or rejection. It is for these reasons that the Rappahannock News is asking the commonwealth’s attorney to take action against what we perceive as a clear violation of Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act. If he doesn’t, the News will proceed with filing a writ of mandamus or injunction against the school board. We have no other choice. Bloodmobile In Warrenton The Red Cross Bloodmobile will be at the National Guard Armory on Waterloo Street in Warrenton on Thursday, August 26, between the hours of noon and 6 p.m. With the Labor Day weekend ahead, bringing heavy motor vehicle travel and an expected rise in traffic accidents, Fauquier Chapter officials of the Red Cross stress the need for a large turnout of prospective donors to meet a goal of 100 units. According to the Red Cross, the victim of an automobile accident can call for up to 15 units of blood. I As the result of increased , need and increased quota, | (up to 1,350 units from 1,200 , last year). Red Cross officials , ire asking tor greater immunity support of blood Irives.

They -emind prospective donors hat it is a simple procedure hat takes only a few ninutes. E =£L -pencil: Land Use Still Uncertain (Continued from Page 1) He reported that general use value taxation has recently come under study statewide and has been questioned in the General Assembly as to whether it's a good thing. "There’s more and more interest in having land owners enter into an agricultural district, enter into a contract so the county gets something in return for the tax break.” He said that the Warrenton-based Piedmont Environmental Council (of which Dennis is director) has worked for improvements in the “unwieldy” ag district law, specifically seeking alternatives to the 500 acre ; minimum. “I think ag districts are discriminatory," countered supervisor chairman Dick Latham. “Using any amount of land as a minimum 'si/e is discriminatory against anyone who is unable to meet that minimum.” Landowners who aren't farmers are now benefitting from use value taxation, interjected former supervisor chairman E. P. Luke, an opponent of the use value ordinance that was adopted in a split decision two years ago. He pointed out that owners of forest land do not have to comply w ith the same relatively stringent criteria set for agricultural land. “Agricultural land is evaluated (for land use taxation eligibility) . . . For forest land, you don't have to do anything. You only need that 20 acre minimum." he said, noting that the commission of revenue now has enough data to make an analysis of the county's use value assessment program. "The issue of forest land does constitute a problem" Dennis agreed. He posed the possibility of mandating some type of forest plan as a requirement for land use. “That was sort of the intent behind the General Assembly when they proposed- that law—not that anybody who's got a skinny tree out there could qualify as forest land." Luke said. Returning to the issue of extending land use into tax year 1983, Baumgardner maintained that the law treats extensions differently than the first proposal of a use value ordinance but repeated that he wanted to wait for an Attorney General's opinion, expected at any day, before formally advising the board. In response, the supervisors tabled action on land use until their September meeting. Insuranced Checked The shock waves from the recently liability coverage explosion in Fauquier County reached here at Monday's special meeting. To avoid repetition of a situation where Fauquier found itself hit with a multi-million dollar insurance claim for injuries suffered in a jail tire after cancelling the policy that would have covered that claim, the commonwealth’s attorney invited Dick Bowen and Wayne Eastham from Carr and Hyde, Rappahannock's liability carrier, to meet with the board. Bowen noted that Rappahannock has coverage ^updated on each year county ^buildings and contents, a ^comprehensive general liability policy that covers bodily injury anbd property damage to a limit of $500,000 per claim, and a one million dollar public officials' liability policy. Two years ago, he recalled, the board rejected his recommendation for a $5 million umbrella policy. “You never know how much liability is enough until after something happens," Bowen said on Monday. Another area where the county is not insured is workmen's compensation, he continued, describing the county's policy of paying claims itself as basically selfinsurance. With this approach, the supervisors are responsible for 100 percent of all medical bills if a county employee, including the sheriff and deputies, is hurt on the job, Bowen said. If the board took out a policy for workmen's compensation claims, coverage would include 100 percent of medical bills with no deductible, loss of income payments equal to two-thirds of gross salary and rehabilitation benefits to provide retraining if the injured person can’t resume his or her normal position, according to Eastham. In response to a question from supervisor Pete Estes, Bowen confirmed that workmen's compensation coverage would relieve the county of all liability in the event of an on-the-job injury. “You have to comply with the state's workmen’s compensation law no matter what." the Carr and Hyde agent emphasized. “Insurance takes the place of vou meeting that burden of liability," he said, adding that workmen's compensation premiums are based on payroll. in addition io workmen s compensation, Bowen repealed his recommendation of two years ago for an “umbrella” policy. “I'm suggesting that your limits are not high regarding liability." he also noted. Asked by Clarence Baldwin for the amount of coverage on individual board members, Bowen answered that it is SI million per loss whether for one or all the members of a board. Baumgardner agreed to research a question raised by H. B. Wood as to whether constitutional officers, elected by local voters and paid by the state, are classified as county or state employees for purposes of workmen's compensation and liability. In regard to the board's liability policy. Latham asked if it covered all situations. “If it's not a willful, intentional act,” Bowen replied, noting that fraud, dishonesty, liable, slander and willful violation of a statute or ordinance committed with knowledge are specifically omitted from coverage. The agent also advised that volunteer firemen must be either specifically excluded or included from workmen’s compensation coverage. Otherwise, the question arises when they’re injured while answering a call as to whether they’re county employees," he explained. “What does it do to the rate to include them?” asked Hubert Gilkey. f'Sends it sky high ... by thousands and thousands of dollars,” said Bowen, adding that most county’s elected to exclude volunteer firemen from workmen's compensation. At the unanimous request of the board, the insurance representatives agreed to return with a report on expanded coverage and premium estimates at the September meeting. “Look through our coverage and give us a picture of what we have and what we need," Estes said. Delinquent Taxes Addressing the issue of whether to publish a list of delinquent county lax payers in the Rappahannock News, the supervisors deferred action until their next meeting when they expect an updated tabulation from the treasurer. Baumgardner informed the board that law permits publication of the names of delinquent tax payers who are a year behind and allows the county to tile suit to sell real estate where taxes are unpaid for three years. “We have a situation we didn’t have in years past (where) CDs are paying more than interest charged on delinquent taxes (ten percent)." Estps noted. "That's the reason why I'm in favor of publishing." “It's cheaper to keep the money in CDs than to pay taxes." agreed Baldwin. “I don’t think anybody's going to be embarassed into paying taxes (by having the list of delinquents published)." Wood coun lereo. Luke interjected lhai when he was a member of ihe board of supervisors, unpaid (axes amounted lo approximately one percent of the lax base or around $30,000. but with land values climbing, that dollar amount is going up. “Collection is going to become more important." he warned. In other action, the board agreed to: —advertise for public hearing an ordinance that would allow junior fire fighters who met specified requirements for training to enter burning buildings. — table action on a proposal to allow small towns full membership in Ihe Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission, —request Gilkev lo bring further information on removing three outbuildings (chicken house, summer kitchen and smoke house) from Ihe jail lot lo make way for renovation. —reschedule a public hearing on abandonement of Route 679 to the November board meeting as the result of landowner objections to the move, —tabled action approving the block grant application for Sperryville's sewer system until the September meeting. School Starts Next Week Cries of “Where has summer gone?" will echo across Rappahannock next Thursday, August 26, as the county’s two public schools open their doors for the 198283 term. Getting an early start, the elementary school will collect fees and issue books on Tuesday, August 24, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Book rental fees are $18.00 for Kindergarten through grade 3, and $28 for grades 4 through 7. No new students will be registered on Tuesday, August 24 or on Thursday, August 26, the first day of school, in order to relieve some of the work load on these two extremely busy days. Parents are urged to bring their children when they come on Tuesday so that they can meet their teachers and learn the location of their classroom. Kindergarten and first grade students will be issued name tags at that time. Parents of lower grade students who are unable to come on Tuesday are asked to pin tags on their children showing the child's name, grade, and bus number, if known. Any parent driving their child to school on the first day of attendance must furnish the bus number to the teacher before leaving the building so that the child can be put on the correct bus at the end of the day. Bus numbers can be secured from the school bus supervisor at the garage. School will close at 2 p.m. on Thursday August 26. It will end at 3:10 p.m. beginning Friday, August 27. Parents are reminded that no students should be at school before 8:15 a.m. on any school day as no supervision is available before that time.

Dr. Berkwood Farmer. Chief Economist with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services said. This situation is due to the sluggish U.S. economy, high interest rales, inflation, and low market prices that will continue for many crops throughout the year. Dr. Farmer noted that w hatever the income measure used to analyze Virginia’s farm economy for 1982, profit to farmers is low. Net farm income is projected to he down if one uses the gross income measure; and. the farmer will receive about 92 cents for every dollar spent (or less than his cost) if one uses the measure of income from the sale of crops and livestock. According to Dr. farmer's report at this year's end. farm income from the marketings of crops, livestock and livestock products is expected to he in the neighborhood of $1.5 to $1.6 Patterson Takes Course Brion G. Pallerson, oi Boston, has recently completed a summer short course in physics at Virginia Military Institute. The two-week course, which was open to high school teachers of physics, focused on the effective use of lecture demonstrations and experiments in the classroom. The program is sponsored by VMI and its department of physics, with support of the National Science Foundation. This summer’s program, given for the tenth consecutive year at VMI, was attended by 38 teachers from 17 slates. The special course was developed at the Institute by two physics professors whose innovative teaching methods have given school teachers nationwide an opportunity to improve their classroom techniques in lecture demonstrations. Patterson is science department chairman at Rappahannock County High School. He is a member of Rappahannock County Education Association. Virginia Association of Science Teachers, and the American Chemical Society. p * • •' * billion. 11 4 percent decrease from last sear. This decrease is due to the crop sector where income is forecast to be about $6b5 million, down 9 percent from the $733 million crop income in 1981. A continuing weak price situation for major field crops, along with reduced acreages for Hue-cured tobacco, peanuts and corn, accounts for most of the reductions expected in crop income. Fruit crops are the only crops expected to show gains in income this year. This is due to lower production and a more favorable market for peaches as a result of the sharply -reduced production in southeastern stales. Income forecast for livestock and livestock products in 1982 could total $910 million, almost equal to the $911 million in 1981. The outlook for cattle indicates modest upturns in both production and price. A cyclical low in hog . production has resulted in a better price situation. Lower prices for eggs and broilers point to a small drop in income from poultry. A slight increase in milk production may mean about a I percent increase in income trom milk. Total farm production expenses will continue in an upward direction throughout 1982. and are expected to reach a record high of over $1.7 billion. High interest rates and an expected average annual inflation rate between 6 and 8 percent continue to put upward pressures on prices. , +4—F+ What, a child is taught on Sunday it will remember on Mooday. —Welsh proverb

Board Denies Information Request (Continued from Page 1) The chart projects levels of experience and number of teachers at each step in the scale based on the entire staff from this year returning next year. For 1982-83, wages paid to 63 teachers in 'Rappahannock’s two public schools total $878,692. according to the report. “The key point to me is that we’ve got to get a firm grasp on what it is we have at the present time," said Lysik, explaining the form he chose for the report. He noted that some categories of employment have salary steps while others do not and emphasized that it will be a challenge to devise an index scale for non-professional employees. Referring to the teachers’ present salary scale. Lvsik told the board he “would wonder what the rational is for the differences (in precentage raises included in the pay system).’’ He pointed out that wage increases at the different, steps in the existing salary scale jump back and forth between two and three percent. Draft Document The report, which the assistant superintendent described as a “draft document," includes I— recommendations that the board review current salary steps where necessary, establish salary steps and an index pay scale for all categories of school employment and begin to consider a salary proposal for next year. With little argument, the board adopted an employee evaluation system at Tuesday’s meeting proposed by superintendent Robert Estabrook. In response to complaints from Nelson Lane that a lot of the evaluation procedures, particularly those for teachers and other certified staff, were "very damn soft,” Estabrook maintained that the nature of work performed by professional employees “lends itself less to a precise statement of exactly what they do.” As an example, he compared starting a math class with starting up a school bus. “I don't think the documents (evaluation forms) are strong or weak. It depends on how they’re used,” the superintendent said, describing the evaluation system as ‘‘a signal that we expect quality work.” The forms for the evaluation system include a list of competencies for each category of employment, designate the individual who is to do the evaluating, set up a time schedule for observing non-tenured and tenured teachers and call for written recommendations for correcting deficiencies with review after a specified time period. “We can’t ask for perfection to start with,” commented Robert Eastham. noting that evaluation procedures will be refined with experience. “It’s an awful, awful lot better than anything we've attempted before,” he said of the proposal developed by Estrabrook in consulation with teacher representatives. With Lane abstaining, the vote was unanimous to adopt the evaluation system for a year's trial. “I don't want to cross the bridge to sheer Naziism but we want to be able to use the evaluation if necessary to dismiss (an employee) for cause." Lane said. The underlying thrust of the evaluation system is two fold: to bring about improvement in school personnel and to assist in making administrative decisions on granting tenure or releasing staff for cause, Estabrook responded. “But the primary aim is to rate people as a means of helping the them improve,” superintendent stressed. In other action, the board . (1) postponed review of the j first installment of the I revised school policy until its next meeting, (2) accepted a report from Eastham on the Virginia School Board * Association's summer conference and (3) agreed to oppose the VSBA’s proposal to change the maximum j amount its members pay in annual dues. Eastham noted * that Rappahannock currently ! pays VSBA 27 cents per ' student while the revision in dues will up the amount Fairfax County pays per student to just 2.7 cents per pupil. "Rappahannock County is being clobbered by these dues,” he maintained, i winning unanimous endorsement from the rest of the board for an alternate proposal that VSBA dues be levied in direct proportion to average daily membership. After an executive session that crept a half hour passed the board’s self imposed adjournment deadlineof 11:30 p.m., Carolyn Butler was unanimously confirmed as an elementary school aide. An enrollment request was denied on the grounds that the applicant lived outside the county and chairman Massie reported that bus driver appointments were discussed and will be acted on after driving records and physical examinations are reviewed.

Mike Cantacuzene had the first hit through the goal posts to give Middleburg a point. Blue stalwart Dick Riemenschneider added No. 2 before Argentinian pro 5goaler Marcos Bignoli drew blood for Rappahannock. The action sped up and smoothed out in the second chukker with Cantacuzene again making the first score. “Remo” followed up with a lucky shallow-angled shot that hit the goal post and ricochetted through.

This is a common question asked by many people. The foot is a complex part of the body that functions in a complex manner A study performed at a California university for the Department of the Army has proven that the foot functions in the following basic way. It flattens out to adapt to uneven terrain for a short period of time and also allows for the hips to rotate over the legs It then moves into a relatively high arched position and locks to propet the body forward If it remains flat (and loose) it causes problems but remaining stiff and high arched can also cause problems.

Cantacuzene, who, being in the right place at the right time, tapped it through to leave Middleburg on top 5-2 at the half. Although sticky, the fourth chukker was the highest scoring of the day. Bignoli erupted with three, including a successful 60-yard foul shot at a defended goal. Remo managed to keep Middleburg on top. however, with yet another long, angled shot, shot. Bignoli took the initial throw-in of the next to last period and set up Greenhalgh for the tying score. Cantacuzene countered by picking the ball out of a melee and putting the Blue back in the lead. Young Vinci Rizzo picked up a slightly wide foul shot of Riemenschneider's and scored to make it 8-6. Greenhalgh closed the gap to one at the start of the final seven minutes. Bignoli backed him up by taking the next throw-in and carrying it through the goal to make it 8-8. Fast, hard play on both sides yielded no more goals. As both teams are involved in tournaments in the near future, it was decided that the tie should stand. Bignoli led the scoring with five tallies while Cantacuzene sparked Middleburg with four.

ROGER BATCHELDER, Since 1924 Across from Rush River Co., Washington, Va. 675-3777 Residence: 937-4388 Onnonents Charse Will Was Fraudulently Altered X X (Continued from Page 1) second meeting ana remembered thinking as he left the farm, “so this is what I’ve got to look forward to—senility." Peggy Gark, real estate agent from Flint Hill, testified that in 1978 or 1979, she found Col. Holmes in his car stuck in a ditch back in the Bear Wallow area, wheels spinning and motor running. When he stopped to ask the colonel if he needed her help, she said. Holmes didn’t recognize her despite the fact that they’d had business dealings dating back for ten years and told her he didn’t need assistance. Frances Bradford, former proprietor of Bradford’s store and restaurant in Flint Hill, told the court that Col. Holmes had been a regular customer, coming in around twice a week since 1953. In 1978 and 1979, the colonel, who previously had been a very neat dresser, began to come to the store “with his clothes all open, his pants all open...It wasn’t like him.” At that time, he also publicly berated one of the store’s employees, action that was out of character, she said. In addition, Mrs. Bradford testified that the colonel told her and her husband that he planned to leave Nancy Jones Natt, an employee who had always lived on his farm, the house in which she resided. "He said ‘I want Nancy to be taken care of,’ ” Mrs. Bradford stated, adding that Holmes had also indicated he was considering leaving his farm to a wildlife organization. Disoriented And Confused Gloria McCuiston, a corpsman at Bethesda during the colonel’s hospitalization, recalled that Holmes was disoriented and confused and had told staff members that he was going to give them his farm for taking care of him. This strange behavior began about three weeks after his admission to Bethesda on October 8, according to McCuiston. She also reported that numerous pages, dates from October 23-30, are missing from the nursing notes on Col. Holmes. Under cross examination, she acknowledged that loss of nursing notes happens t©> Bethesda “but it’s not common,” particularly to have notes from six days in a row disappear. Virginia Tennyson, a friend of the colonel’s since 1%7 who told the court he once asked her to marry him, recalled that Holmes began to change in 1978, becoming confused, forgetting things and neglecting his appearance. Earlier, sometime between 1973 and 1975, she testified, the colonel said that both Nancy Jones Natt and his friend Homer Jenkins “were taken care of’ in his will. Mrs. Tennyson’s mothet Mary Ann Carlson and several of the colonel’s cousins and their children all testified that in 1979, Holmes seemed at first not to recognize them when they visited him unannounced at the farm. They recalled how the colonel was dressed in his underwear during these visits, attire that they maintained was inappropriate and out of character. Robert E. Lee, a friend and business associate of the colonel’s since the 1920s, recalled that Holmes had been “very, very neat about his person and very tight...about his economy and his affairs. He was methodical...He kept records of pretty much everything he did,” Lee said. PETER LUKE GEORGE DAVIS ROLAND HARTSHORN r or 1 he IJeiense As to the colonel’s relationship with his sister Ruth, he recalled that the colonel felt Ruth had become “very unreasonable” with resoect to the family home they owned jointly on Barnaby Street in Washington, D.C. “They didn’t seem to be able to get along.” But a few years later, Lee remembered, the colonel said they’d “patched up their differences.” Asked under cross examination if Holmes knew who his old friend was when he brought apples out and visited Lee in the fall of 1979, the witness was indignant. “How do you think he’d come to see me and call me on the phone?” Lee demanded. “Isn’t that rather a foolish question?” Farm To 4-H Ruby Jenkins, former extension office secretary who was instrumental in arranging the donation of six acres on Route 211 by Col. Holmes to the Rappahannock Recreation Association (now the site of the county’s first park), testified that the colonel offered his farm to the 4-H if it would be operated as a farm by youngsters in that organization. Nancy Jones Natt, employee of the colonel’s since he first came to Flint Hill, told the jury that Col. Holmes informed her she would have a home as long as she lived. “Me and my mother," she added. Frank Huff, Flint Hill rescue squadsman who drove the colonel to Bethesda in the squad’s ambulance for his July, 1979, hospitalization, testified “the colonel told me not too long before he died that his sister would never want for anything as long as she lived.” House To Nancy Huff said he’d also brought up Nancy Natt to the colonel on several occasions: “1 asked him if he’d made any plans for Nancy to have a home if anything happened to him. He said not to worry, that she’d get the house and the land.” Huff added that a week before the hospitalization the colonel assured him he “couldn’t leave her without a roof over her head when she’s been on the farm all her life and worked for me since I came to Rappahannock County.” Lois Peterson and Rena Mae Jenkins, both nurses for the colonel when he returned fro-" the hospital until his death six days later, stated that Holmes was disoriented, confused and hallucinating three or four days before his death. Jenkins recalled that the colonel said directions for the care of his beloved dog Duke were included in his will and that the will also specified that a piece of NOTICE Pursuant to Section 15.1-431 of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, notice is hereby given that the Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County. Virginia will on Wednesday, September 8,1982 at 10:00 o'clock A M hold a public hearing as to the proposed Erosion and Sedimentation Ordinance for the County of Rappahannock. Copies of the aforesaid ordinance are on file with the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Rappahannock County and persons affected by or interested in such ordinance may examine same between the hours of 8:30 A M. and 4:30 P.M., Monday through Friday. Persons affected by or interested in said ordinance may appear on September 8, 1982 at 10:00 A M. at the Courthouse, Washington, Virginia to express their views. This notice is being published once a week for two (2) successive weeks in the Rappahannock News, a newspaper published in and having general circulation in the county of Rappahannock, Virginia. Oiaaa Brace, Clerk Board ol Supervisors Rappahannock County property he owned at Millwood in Clarke County was to go to his friend, Homer Jenkins. Jenkins also reported that when informed there was no money in the house to pay for food or for Nancy Natt to take the laundry to Front Royal, Dr. Nielson had remarked, “Well, if worse comes to worse, 1 can declare him (Col. Holmes) insane.” In addition, she remembered Nielsen saying that if the nurses and Nancy Natt weren’t paid, the colonel would have to put in a nursing home. Medical experts for the plaintiffs all testified that encephalopathy, the mental disorder associated with liver disease, is difficult to diagnose and can be present even if the patient appears oriented as to time, place and self, can carry on normal conversation and conduct business affairs. None of the tests developed specifically for diagnosis of encephalopathy were ever administered to the colonel, they noted after examination of his hospital records. Dr. John Harvey, graduate of Yale and Johns Hopkins who is currently a professor of medicine and expert diagnostician at Georgetown University Hospital, maintained on the basis of a review of Holmes’ hospital records that the colonel’s problems began in 1946 with a heart attack. Holmes from then on exhibited a history of cardio-vascular disease and by 1966, had developed calcium deposits that build up and eventually cause hardening of the arteries. These calcium deposits in the viens leading to the brain cut off the blood supply to the brain when the colonel leaned his head back and were the probable cause of his periodic black-outs, according to Harvey. He noted that when the colonel was hospitalized as a result of those black-outs in 1966, he was given an electroencephlagram (EEG) which showed on abnormal brainwave. A spinal tap also turned up abnormal, Harvey said. Then in 1973, Holmes was admitted to Bethesda with cerebral arteriosclerosis, hardening of the arteries to the brain, the doctor said. By that time, he noted, the colonel had developed a neurogenic bladder, another sign of brain impairment. During that 1973 hospitalization-, neurological testing showed that the colonel had trouble remembering three objects for five minutes, difficulty counting backward from 100 by sevens and exhibited a drift in one arm when asked to hold both arms straight in front of him with his eyes closed, Harvey said. (The report on that 1973 testing bears the notation “Thanks, Nielsen,” at the bottom.) Then in 1979, the liver disfunction that was eventually diagnosed as cancer allowed poisons to be carried by the blood stream to the brain while at the same time, the malfunction in the liver deprived the brain of food, according to Harvey, Classic Symptoms An evaluation of the records as a whole, taking into consideration the arteriosclerosis, abnormal EEG and spinal tap, neurogenic bladder, results of the 1973 neurological testing, the liver disfunction and later loss of bowel control, show classic symptoms of a progressive brain disorder. Dr. Harvey concluded. The records confirm, that Col. Holmes had serious mentation problems, arising from senile dementia and-or encephalopothy, he told the jury. Dr. Robert L. Carruthers from the Medical College of Virginia said patients in the early stages of encephalopothy will appear alternately euphoric or depressed, exhibit difficulty in making decisions, become very untidy and develop slurred speech and disordered sleep patterns. At this stage, patients do not necessarily show physical symptoms, including the characteristic “liver flap” of the hands, Carruthers said. As the condition progresses, early symptoms will accellerate, then the patient will begin to sleep much of the time and become markedly confused, finally entering a deep coma, the doctor reported. Dr. Richard Hunter, neurologist from Charlottesville, said he’d studied the colonel’s medical records and documents including weight charts, checks and Holmes’ daily journal before concluding that he suffered from long-term brain disease. Asked under cross examination if any of the doctors who’d treated Col. Holmes had made that same diagnosis, Hunter replied that he thought the physician who a conducted tne neurological exam in 1973 had done so “but he didn’t use those words.” The EEG run on Holmes uncovered a "minimal diffused abnormality” of the brain, according to hospital records, something which Hunter explained as the brain not functioning right to “a minimal degree.” Luke stressed that Holmes had been tested for “long term neurological disease” yet none of the doctors who treated him ever wrote in his records of making that finding. Not in "those words,” Hunter agreed, acknowledging that the colonel had been seen by physicians on a daily basis while he had never seen Holmes himself but had only reviewed his hospital medical records. The doctor also acknowledged that the colonel’s “broad based gait,” cited by the plaintiffs medical experts as a symptom of neurological brain disorder, could also be the result of an earlier accident in which a military truck ran over both of Holmes’ legs. Hunter also agreed that depression would be a normal reaction of someone told he was dying of cancer and had just weeks to live. The Charlottesville doctor emphasized, however, that he INSU*fc**£5 BURIAL TO H*0» EXPEg, <500 TO <5000 EVERYONE ACCEPTED FROM AGE 46 TO 87 ^ ► ssisF —#H®i LIFE OF AMERICA INSURANCE CORF, of IOSTON 'VV N Qo»arnw»ant Cantor. 200 Ptototo* S*.

Holmes’ condition after looking at three year old charts than did the doctors who examined him during his illness. Dr. Werner Krebser from the Rappahannock Ginic, the colonel’s next-doorneighbor since 1975, recalled being telephoned by Nancy Natt on July 12, 1979, with a request to examine Holmes. Krebser said he did an electro-cardiogram and discovered irregular fibrillation and found a mass in the liver. “I was afraid he might have some type pf G.I. (gastro-intestinal) tumor,” the doctor reported, adding that Col. Holmes insisted on being hospitalized in Bethesda. Since the colonel had described Dr. Neilsen as "a friend of his,” Krebser continued, he called the navy rSQUARE DANCEft Saturday Night g August 21 1 Music by: The Red Rose Flyers Admission $3.00 For mors information call 937-4918 commander and explained % that he felt “the colonel was either in congestive heart failure and that he had a mass in the abdomen that I felt should be checked out.” Holmes was admitted to Bethesda that day or the following day, Krebser said. Then, he told the jury, Nancy Natt called again in October with a request that he see Holmes and in this instance, he found the colonel’s abdomen and legs quite swollen w^ith edema and the colonel t<^d him he was dying of cancer. Krebser said he wasn’t satisfied with the medication Holmes was on and asked if the colonel would mind if he called Dr. Neilsen. According to Krebser, Col. Holmes replied that he wasn’t sure Neilsen wanted him on the case. “1 felt maybe the colonel didn’t want me on the case either so I didn’t pursue it,” the local doctor said.
